The handful of disgruntled Republicans who are still making the case for Biden over Trump
00:00:06.280
have one last plea. They want you to vote for country over party.
00:00:13.560
I've been voting since 1984 when I proudly cast my first ballot for Ronald Reagan.
00:00:18.920
I've been a conservative Republican my entire life. I've never before voted for a Democrat
00:00:23.900
for president. But this year, principle and conscience require me to do just that.
00:00:28.960
I'm voting for Joe Biden. When you fill out your own ballot, ask yourself who will best restore
00:00:34.860
decency and civility to the White House? Who can I be proud to tell my children and grandchildren
00:00:39.940
I voted for? My fellow Republicans, it's not easy going against the head of our party.
00:00:45.440
Believe me, I know. But I also know that character, moral leadership, and integrity are values that
00:00:51.500
we cannot put aside when we cast our vote for president. If we hold on to these values,
00:00:56.200
our country will be better for it. And so will our party. And please, don't let anyone tell you
00:01:01.900
that by casting your vote for Joe Biden, you are somehow not being conservative. This year,
00:01:06.940
the most conservative thing you can do is to put country over party. That's what I'm doing.
00:01:14.180
Country over party, one of the stupidest, most meaningless platitudes in our national discourse.
00:01:21.000
You join a political party, you support a political party because you believe it will help the country.
00:01:25.100
Right. Jeff Flake and all of the seven other never Trump Republicans are not putting country over
00:01:31.080
party. They're just switching parties because they are libs. And Joe Biden does not have more
00:01:36.900
integrity, more moral leadership, more character than Donald Trump. Actually, he has much, much less.
00:01:41.800
And if Biden wins, we are going to have a country over party. It's going to be the country over party
00:01:46.520
because the country is going to be over. For goodness sakes. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael
00:01:50.860
Knowles show. I'm Joe Biden and I'm running in the country over party. That's right. You have
00:02:02.720
enough of this country? Well, then vote for me because then it'll be over. So enjoy, enjoy. That's
00:02:07.440
what I promise you that he's probably going to flip flop on that too. We, I guess we can hope
00:02:11.360
my favorite comment from yesterday from Scott O'Brien, Schumer generations of yet unborn will
00:02:17.280
suffer the consequences of this nomination conservatives, but they will be born. This
00:02:21.980
is true. It is better to be born than not to be born. It's, it's so creepy. I have friends, I kid you
00:02:28.120
not, who are dressing their daughters up as a Ruth Ginsburg for Halloween. This obviously, what is Ruth
00:02:39.700
Ginsburg most famous for in her judicial philosophy? Not letting those little children, better to let
00:02:47.140
the, to not in the womb and not good. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Like
00:02:51.220
the statement country over party. You know, I'm, I'm being a little hyperbolic, I guess, when I say
00:02:58.640
that the country will be over if Joe Biden wins, but in some ways I'm not, I'm not being earnest enough
00:03:05.000
because this has been building for a long time. I don't think Joe Biden started the problem, but he is a
00:03:08.840
symptom of the problem, which is losing our constitutional government. This is, this goes
00:03:13.580
back at least to Woodrow Wilson probably goes back even further than that. We're losing so much of our
00:03:18.360
political control in this country. And you see, uh, social violence beginning. I mean, you're seeing
00:03:24.500
cities lighting on fire. You're seeing a lot of unrest as they call it around the country. So you got
00:03:30.860
to be prepared. Now is a better time than ever to be prepared with long-term nutritional food options.
00:03:35.940
Ready Wise has many options, such as emergency meals, freeze dried fruits and vegetables for
00:03:41.380
convenient on the go nutrition, new adventure meals for hiking, camping, and other outdoor
00:03:46.300
activities. Obviously I don't do a whole lot of hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities, but
00:03:51.140
they are very delicious. If you go out there, you can enjoy those adventure meals. When government
00:03:55.460
resources are strained, it can be days, if not weeks before fresh food is available. Don't put
00:04:00.980
yourself in a situation when you need food during an emergency. Prepare today. Ready Wise uses the
00:04:06.620
finest ingredients, the latest food prep technology to ensure optimal taste and freshness. Meals are

00:04:47.660
over party thing. Every election, there is some number of disgruntled Republicans who, for whatever
00:04:54.880
reason, they can't get a job as campaign strategists. That's what happened with the Lincoln
00:04:59.600
Project, or they got booted out of the Senate because they were libs and the more conservative
00:05:04.220
guy exposed them like Jeff Flake, or whatever reason. They come out and they say, listen,
00:05:09.480
I'm a Republican, I'm a conservative Republican, but I can't vote for this man. I, not him. I mean,
00:05:15.200
this, this goes back at least to the Barry Goldwater campaign.
00:05:18.700
I don't know just why they wanted to call this a confession. I, I certainly don't feel
00:05:24.040
guilty about being a Republican. I've always been a Republican. My father is, his father
00:05:28.900
was, the whole family is a Republican family. I voted for Dwight Eisenhower the first time
00:05:35.180
I ever voted. I voted for Nixon the last time. But when we come to Senator Goldwater, now it seems
00:05:44.700
to me we're up against a, a very different kind of a man. This man scares me. Now maybe
00:05:53.300
I'm wrong. A friend of mine has said to me, listen, just because a man sounds a little
00:05:59.880
irresponsible during a campaign doesn't mean he's going to act irresponsibly. You know
00:06:03.680
that theory that the White House makes the man. I don't buy that.
00:06:08.180
I don't buy that. No, no. I, I'm a Republican. I'm a conservative Republican, but I hate those
00:06:14.540
Republican candidates. Every, every year, something like this crops up. So what, what is the threat
00:06:21.640
that we're facing? Joe Biden has said, and the Democrats who are behind him have said, they
00:06:26.820
want to add two new states to the country. That alone takes the Republicans out as a national
00:06:31.940
governing party. They say they want to pack the courts or term limit the justices on the
00:06:37.460
court and put them on lower courts so that you can add new, new judges to the court.
00:06:41.060
That would destroy any conservative judicial movement. If there is one at all, they have
00:06:46.660
said they want to curtail the first amendment. They've said they want to curtail the second
00:06:49.640
amendment. They have said they want to upend the energy industry. There are so many, I mean,
00:06:55.760
I'm not even discussing, you know, the tax hikes or something like that. I'm talking about
00:07:00.180
the structural damage that even just this election could do, particularly if the Democrats win
00:07:05.280
the House and the Senate as well. They are proposing things that would eliminate the Republicans
00:07:10.760
as a governing party. So if you support your country and you're a conservative, probably
00:07:17.140
that means you don't vote for the leftist party. You vote for the conservative party, which
00:07:21.800
is the Republican party. And if you do that, if you really believe those things and you want
00:07:26.900
to support your country, there is no argument to voting for Joe Biden. You cannot do it because
00:07:33.840
of the mean tweets. Joe Biden is way crueler than Donald Trump. Joe Biden perpetually refuses
00:07:39.560
to acknowledge two of his grandchildren because he's embarrassed by them. And so he won't acknowledge
00:07:44.460
them even when he's corrected about it. Donald Trump's a liar. Joe Biden's been lying since
00:07:48.360
the eighties. Joe Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because he was a liar
00:07:52.460
and a plagiarist. And even the mainstream media made him drop out. Donald Trump is corrupt.
00:07:57.460
How is he corrupt? Joe Biden has been corrupt since he got on the Senate, got into the Senate
00:08:04.100
in 1973. Right away, he got his brother, Jim Biden's sweetheart deals. When he got a chair
00:08:09.720
on the Senate banking committee, he would call up the bankers when the bankers would pressure
00:08:13.420
Jim Biden to pay. He would also let Jim Biden peddle influence in the 1990s. He would also
00:08:18.640
let his brother get a one and a half billion dollar contract for construction in Iraq when Joe
00:08:23.580
Biden was, uh, was a senator and later than the vice president, which is when the contract went
00:08:29.540
through during the Iraq war. Jim Biden didn't know anything about construction or about Iraq.
00:08:34.240
Obviously we've seen the, the evidence of corruption with Hunter Biden. Talk about corruption.
00:08:39.020
Joe Biden makes Donald Trump look like a school child. And then talk about moral leadership. Joe Biden
00:08:44.600
sues nuns and he thinks you ought to have abortion on demand paid for by taxpayers. And he believes
00:08:51.700
that we ought to send pallets of cash to America's enemies. And he believes we shouldn't respect our
00:08:56.960
commitments to our allies. And he wants to take our property. That's moral leadership. Or you got the
00:09:04.200
other guy who does what he says he's going to do and has a good moral vision. It's not even close.
00:09:08.040
Just look at the consequences around the country. We had more riots in Philly last night. Country over
00:09:12.500
party. You had rioters tagging a bank of America with graffiti that read death to America.
00:09:21.700
Right there. Death to America. These are BLM rioters. Kind of ironic because there's one guy in the bank
00:09:31.620
who is a black guy and he seems like a little, a little worried about these fellows out here who
00:09:35.520
are causing all the trouble. Setting fires, smashing windows, death to America though.
00:09:41.900
How many of those rioters do you think are voting for Donald Trump? How many do you think are voting
00:09:47.080
for Joe Biden? Jeff Flake is on the same side as the people who are spray painting death to America
00:09:52.940
on buildings and setting cities on fire. Country over party. I don't think so, Buster. Beverly Hills
00:09:59.300
right now is on full alert. Why is Beverly Hills on full alert? It's pretty nice area. Usually beautiful
00:10:05.880
weather, pleasant people. Why is it on full alert? Because they are worried that between Halloween and
00:10:12.760
election day, there could be more riots. They are shutting down Rodeo drive, the most famous,
00:10:18.680
the most famous roadway in Beverly Hills on election night because they are afraid that leftists,
00:10:24.980
not conservatives, leftists will burn the place to the ground if they don't get their way.
00:10:30.600
When you side with them, are you choosing country over party? No, you're choosing a banana republic.
00:10:35.820
You're choosing a tin pot dictatorship over your country when you side with these left wingers.
00:10:43.240
And that's just the tip of the iceberg because there's an entire edifice led by big tech that
00:10:49.860
sits underneath this, that is pushing this establishment left wing view. You know, it gets
00:10:57.000
people really agitated. Sometimes you need to relax and I would recommend Thompson Cigars to relax.
00:11:01.000
With over a century in the business, these guys know their stuff. I have been
00:11:05.180
a customer of Thompson Cigars for half of my life. I still have the first box of cigars that my
00:11:12.020
mother bought me from Thompson when I was 16 years old for Christmas. I love these guys. They've got
00:11:16.000
the best prices on the biggest brands in the business. They've got my father. They've got
00:11:21.020
Monte Cristo. They've got Cohiba. They've got La Flor Dominicana. They've got Oliva. They got everything
00:11:26.360
that you want. There are over 12,000 different cigar options available with new in-demand brands added
00:11:31.260
weekly. Looking to try new rare top rated blends, but you don't want to splurge on the boxes. Well,
00:11:36.620
this is where Thompson really, really shines. They've got the Thompson Cigar Tour, a smattering

00:12:21.040
Knowles. Sometimes people ask me for recommendations. I'll give you my top shelf recommendation for this week
00:12:25.460
is the Armada Man of War. And then my lower, more, you know, budget priced recommendation
00:12:31.700
would be the Illusione Rothschildes. I don't even know quite how to pronounce it, but it's that
00:12:36.460
little tiny Illusione. It's really great. I've been smoking them all week. Go check it out.
00:12:39.700
ThompsonCigar.com. Promo code Knowles. Yesterday, the big tech giants testified before the Senate.
00:12:48.000
And we knew this was going to happen. It's because Twitter was suppressing the New York Post story
00:12:52.040
that was damaging on Joe Biden. It's because Facebook was suppressing that as well. So they
00:12:57.060
get hauled before the Senate. I was discussing the logistics of this last week with Senator
00:13:02.340
Cruz on our show Verdict. And he gave me a little behind the scenes, which is there were two options
00:13:06.560
here. Either the big tech guys could have testified before the Commerce Committee or before the
00:13:11.660
Judiciary Committee. Two different issues. And Senator Cruz was saying he hoped that it was before
00:13:16.040
the Judiciary Committee because the Judiciary Committee is a little tougher and they've got
00:13:19.640
more bulldog senators on the panel. And they thought they could have gotten more information.
00:13:24.860
Senator Cruz also said he hoped that they would testify in person. Unfortunately,
00:13:28.580
neither of those things happened. Whoever was calling the shots back there gave the big tech
00:13:32.780
guys a little bit of an out. They were before the relatively meeker Commerce Committee and they got
00:13:36.560
to do it out of state. They got to do it virtually. So it reduced the virality and the tension of these
00:13:44.260
moments. That's too bad. I hope they get hauled before the Senate again and have to
00:13:49.540
testify, you know, in person and before the Judiciary Committee. Still, we got some good
00:13:54.560
hits in. Still, we got some good information. The best hits did come from Cruz. I don't say
00:13:58.540
that just because I'm friends with the guy and I host a podcast with him. He shines in these moments
00:14:04.200
and he cut to the heart of the issue. He had Jack Dorsey, this creepy, long bearded, nose ring
00:14:11.280
wearing, hipster CEO of Twitter who tried to kill the New York Post Hunter Biden story. He had him in
00:14:17.920
front of him and he said, Jack, does Twitter influence the political elections? Very simple
00:14:26.260
question. Does Twitter influence the elections? Mr. Dorsey, does Twitter have the ability to influence
00:14:35.040
elections? No. You don't believe Twitter has any ability to influence elections? No, we are one part
00:14:45.260
of a spectrum of communication channels that people have. So you're testified to this committee right
00:14:50.980
now that that Twitter, when it silences people, when it censors people, when it blocks political
00:14:55.600
speech, that has no impact on elections? People people have choice of other communication channels
00:15:01.900
with which not if they don't hear information. If you don't think you have the power to influence
00:15:07.020
elections, why do you block anything? Well, we have policies that are focused on making sure that
00:15:14.260
more voices on the platform are possible. We see a lot of abuse and harassment, which ends up silencing
00:15:19.240
people and having them leave from the platform. You can tell me what a bogus non-answer Jack gives to
00:15:25.540
that question. You can really see how Cruz is a master at this kind of questioning. I remember one time
00:15:31.440
he was grilling Zuckerberg on the Hill and you saw Cruz shine as a prosecutor here. You saw him
00:15:39.160
solicitor general in his previous life before the Senate. And you could see that shine. He lured
00:15:46.140
Zuckerberg in. I don't remember the question. So Mark, what color is the sky? Well, the sky is blue,
00:15:53.460
Senator. Yeah. And Mark, two plus two. What does that equal? Well, that equals four, Senator. Why did
00:16:00.420
Palmer Luckey get fired? And he just, he off-foots it a little bit. Palmer Luckey was a, ostensibly a
00:16:07.080
political firing because he was conservative. And Zuckerberg didn't have an answer for it. Same
00:16:12.100
thing here. He goes, does Twitter influence the elections? No, man. Jack Dorsey is this like
00:16:17.580
ridiculous hipster. No, not at all, man. It doesn't influence the elections at all. No, it has no, no
00:16:23.920
political effect. Okay. Then why do you suppress the political stories? Oh, whoops. Yeah. I did just
00:16:31.500
admit that I did that. Uh, we suppress people's voices so you can hear them better. And whatever
00:16:37.420
non-answer that was then, because that was not sufficient. Cruz ripped Dorsey. Mr. Dorsey,
00:16:45.160
who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the
00:16:52.080
American people are allowed to hear? And why do you persist in behaving as a democratic super PAC
00:16:58.900
silencing views to the contrary of your political beliefs? Let's give, uh, Mr. Dorsey, uh, uh, a few
00:17:06.500
seconds to answer that. And then we'll have to conclude this, this, um, segment. Well, we're,
00:17:12.880
we're not doing that. Uh, and this is why I opened, um, this hearing with calls for more
00:17:19.260
transparency. We realize we need to earn trust more. We realize that more accountability is
00:17:24.480
needed to show our intentions and to show the outcomes. Um, so I, I hear the concerns and
00:17:29.800
acknowledge them, but when we want to fix it with more transparency, but he's obviously not hearing
00:17:35.880
the concerns. He's not answering the questions. Cruz raises a great point. There are still like
00:17:40.560
three bizarro freshman year libertarians who say, well, guys, come on. Twitter is a private company.
00:17:46.880
Google's a private company. First of all, like not really. And second of all, they, they control the
00:17:52.540
flow of information. They control the public sphere, which by the way, they have gained access
00:17:57.680
to by fraud. They told people they were getting one product and they actually gave them another.
00:18:02.840
They got legal liability protection through section 230 because they pretended to be one product and
00:18:07.940
actually they were another. This is a question about, you know, the individual operations of these
00:18:16.380
businesses or self-government. And by the way, no grown man should have a nose ring. I know this
00:18:21.920
seems tangential. We should pass a constitutional amendment in this country that grown men are not
00:18:27.640
permitted to wear nose rings. It is a national humiliation, particularly when coupled with that
00:18:32.820
beard, which should land Jack Dorsey on the no-fly list. It wasn't only Senator Cruz who was going after
00:18:39.200
him. Mike Lee did a great job too. Mike Lee, you know, was pretty, pretty hardcore guys,
00:18:44.260
brilliant in constitutional law. Mike Lee first goes after Mark Zuckerberg. And it was another one
00:18:52.880
of these simple questions that they couldn't answer. We know that many conservatives have
00:18:55.780
been censored. We know a lot of conservative stories have been censored. So Lee says, okay,
00:19:00.080
you guys say it's not a partisan issue. It's not an ideological issue. Can you name me one lib
00:19:07.260
Can you name for me one high profile person or entity from a liberal ideology who you have censored
00:19:19.780
Senator, I can get you a list of some more of this, but there are certainly many examples that
00:19:26.740
your Democratic colleagues object to when, you know, a fact checker might label something as false
00:19:33.780
that they disagree with or they're not able to.
00:19:37.540
I get that. I get that. I just want to be clear. I'm just asking you if you can name for me one
00:19:43.540
high profile liberal person or company who you've censored. I understand that you're saying that
00:19:49.600
there are complaints on both sides, but I just, I just want one name of one person or one entity.
00:19:58.880
Senator, I need to, I need to think about it and get you more of a list.
00:20:03.580
Oh my gosh. It's so embarrassing. Zuckerberg usually is a little quicker on his feet than this.
00:20:09.360
He goes, well, look, we have a list. We can get you more of a list. I guess, no, I don't need,
00:20:12.540
you didn't get me, you didn't give me anything. So you, you're not giving me more of it. You're
00:20:16.300
giving me anything at all, but it's okay, Mark, you don't need to give me the full list.
00:20:19.940
Just name like one guy, just one. Cause I could name a ton of conservatives. Name one guy.
00:20:25.080
Uh, uh, uh, I don't know. So then Lee moves on. He goes, okay, Jack Dorsey, same question to you.
00:20:30.540
Name me one liberal who has been censored on your platform.
00:20:36.800
Well, we, we can, um, give a more exhaustive list. Um, but again, we don't have an understanding
00:20:42.340
of political ideas of our accounts, but I'm not asking for an exhaustive list. I'm asking for a
00:20:47.800
single example. One, one individual, one entity, anyone. We've, we've, we've taken action on tweets
00:20:53.460
from members of the house for election misinformation. Can you identify any example?
00:20:58.540
Yes. But two, two democratic, um, two, two democratic, uh, Congress people on election.
00:21:09.900
Pathetic, pathetic. Dorsey thought that he, like he was anticipating this question or he's just
00:21:15.160
making it up on the spot. But assuming someone briefed him and said, look, there actually,
00:21:18.320
there were a couple of times you took down a couple of tweets from Democrats. Make sure you
00:21:20.820
have that in your head. No, no. We had some liberals. Yeah. What are their name? Well, first he tries to
00:21:26.040
say, we're unaware of the ideological views of our users. Like, Oh, really? Are you, you're unaware
00:21:31.340
of what Donald Trump thinks versus what AOC thinks. But then he contradicts himself and he says, no,
00:21:35.480
well we, yeah, no, we took down some liberals. Yeah. What, who? A couple Democrats. Yeah. What,
00:21:40.860
where were they? Uh, their congressmen. Yeah. What are their names? Uh, yeah, no, my boyfriend,
00:21:47.400
he lives in Canada. He lives. Uh, no, you can't meet him guys because he lives in Canada. I'm starting to
00:21:51.900
think he doesn't exist. If our country is being led by that hipster jihadi over there,
00:21:56.420
then something tells me that the state of the union is not particularly strong at this moment.
00:22:00.920
You know what that means? Always a good time to diversify your investments into gold,
00:22:04.760
something new for you. And I think very useful. The price of gold has been skyrocketing lately,
00:22:11.640
but it's difficult to buy gold sometimes because gold is expensive. We don't always have like
00:22:15.740
thousands of dollars lying around to go buy bars of gold. Well, luckily now there is a new company
00:22:21.380
called Acre, which allows you to buy gold for as little as $30 a month. How does that work? We
00:22:27.300
know that gold costs more than $30. How do you do it? You subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30
00:22:32.520
a month. Then you pay each month. And once your gold stash reaches the price of their gold bars,
00:22:38.480
good, you're paid off. They discreetly ship Acre gold to your house. Acre lets you invest in physical
00:22:44.640
gold without it coming out of pocket all at once because that's a lot of money. Acre keeps you updated
00:22:50.060
on your gold stash every month and ships once you reach the price threshold. With Acre, taking
00:22:55.420
physical delivery of your gold means it is safe and sound in your hands. Acre ships your gold
00:23:00.240
directly and most importantly, discreetly to your door. Acre just recently introduced their new $100
00:23:04.660
per month subscription for their five gram gold bar. I have invested in precious metals. I have enjoyed
00:23:10.360
doing so. Visit getacregold.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. Start investing in physical gold today.
00:23:16.360
Make sure you go to this URL because Acre is giving away a gold bar. To qualify for that giveaway,
00:23:21.000
tweet or post why you should be the recipient and mention at get underscore Acre. Again, that is
00:23:27.240
getacregold.com slash Knowles. Thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show. All right. I've pretty much
00:23:34.500
had it with these tech guys, but there was one last moment that I think is worth pointing out.
00:23:39.260
Marsha Blackburn, my new senator. I'm leaving California. I'm moving to Tennessee. I'm very
00:23:45.220
pleased to be trading Kamala Harris for Marsha Blackburn. Marsha Blackburn does a great job
00:23:49.360
and she did an especially great job yesterday during these hearings because she caught Jack
00:23:55.260
Dorsey in a lie. Jack Dorsey says that he doesn't censor world leaders. Why did he bring this up?
00:24:00.380
Because you've got tweets from the grand poobah of Iran up, of the, the Ayatollah that are vile,
00:24:08.680
vicious tweets and he doesn't take those down. So that's the rule, right? You're going to take down
00:24:13.800
the New York Post, but you're going to leave up the Ayatollah of Iran because you don't censor
00:24:18.020
world leaders. Problem is Jack has censored Trump. So Mr. Dorsey, is Donald Trump a world's leader?
00:24:27.780
Yes. Okay. So it would be important for world leaders to have access to your platform, correct?
00:24:36.260
Correct. And so why did you deny that platform via censorship to the U.S. president?
00:24:43.800
We haven't censored the U.S. president. Oh, yes, you have. How many posts from Iran's terrorist
00:24:50.300
Ayatollah have you censored? How many posts from Vladimir Putin have you censored?
00:24:57.140
We have, we have labeled tweets of world leaders. We have a policy around not taking down the content,
00:25:03.540
but simply adding more context around it. Okay. And the U.S. president, you have censored
00:25:09.080
65 times. Just to be clear, we have not censored the president. We have not taken the tweets down
00:25:16.960
that you're referencing. They have more context than a label applied to them. And we do the same
00:25:22.300
for leaders around the world. So everything about that is a lie. He censored Trump. He censored Trump
00:25:27.880
multiple times. Now what he's saying is, no, all I did was block out what he tweeted and then make you
00:25:33.480
click through to a separate page so that you could see what he read. That's not censorship.
00:25:39.160
Yes, it is. That is censorship. You don't have to formally, permanently delete something to censor
00:25:44.460
it. If you slap a big label over it such that you can't read it until you click through to another
00:25:49.060
page, that is censorship. And he has done that to Trump. Then he tries to pretend that he's done
00:25:54.260
that to the other world leaders. Maybe he has in some isolated cases, but not all the time,
00:25:59.340
not even in the most egregious examples. Iran's leader denies that the Holocaust happened. Says
00:26:04.680
there was no Holocaust. He is called to wipe Israel off of the face of the earth. Seems kind of violent
00:26:09.860
to me. Not only are those tweets still up, there's no extra context around that. Jack Dorsey and Twitter
00:26:17.360
have censored Trump much, much more significantly than they have censored the leader of Iran. I said
00:26:23.880
that was the last one. There's one more I have to get to. Cory Gardner. Cory Gardner also grills,
00:26:28.260
at least Zuckerberg. I think he was just glad to be out of the line of fire. He said, yeah, okay,
00:26:31.720
you take it, Jack. Jack Dorsey just absolutely crumbled under pressure and Cory Gardner
00:26:36.780
called him out for the double standard. So somebody denying the murder of millions of people
00:26:42.460
or instigating violence against a country as a head of state is not categorically falling in any of those
00:26:50.040
three misinformation or other categories Twitter has? Not misinformation, but we do have other
00:26:55.100
policies around incitement to violence, which may, some of the tweets you mentioned or the examples
00:27:01.660
that you're mentioning may fall afoul of. But for misleading information, we're focused on those
00:27:08.020
three categories only. So somebody denies the Holocaust has happened is not misinformation?
00:27:14.000
It's misleading information, but we don't have a policy against that type of misleading information.
00:27:18.940
Millions of people died. And that's not a violation of Twitter. Again, I just don't understand
00:27:25.720
how you can label a president of the United States. Have you ever taken a tweet down from the
00:27:31.980
Ayatollah? So he crumbles and, and Cory Gardner points out this double standard. It's beyond that
00:27:38.420
though. It's beyond just big tech. Consider the mainstream media. Do you remember a couple of years
00:27:41.860
ago, the mainstream media published the anonymous op-ed. This was about the resistance within the Trump
00:27:47.560
administration. And there was, there were questions. Did Pence write this op-ed? Did Nikki Haley write
00:27:52.680
this op-ed? Did the then chief of staff, John Kelly, write this op-ed? There was a book anonymous,
00:27:58.420
all published anonymously about the deep state overthrowing Trump, which in itself, by the way,
00:28:04.260
is a vicious, awful thing. We elected Trump. We didn't elect this anonymous person. It is wrong.
00:28:10.040
It is immoral. It is anti-constitutional to undermine the president that you are ostensibly serving
00:28:16.560
and enacting his agenda. It's a wrong, it's, it's, it's a betrayal, not just of the president,
00:28:22.080
but of the American people. Well, we found out, we found out who the anonymous was. What was it?
00:28:27.420
Pence? Was it Haley? Was it? No, it's some schmuck, some guy we've never heard of, and we'll forget his
00:28:31.440
name in 10 seconds. Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the department of Homeland Security,
00:28:37.140
wrote the op-ed. He's just some guy who wanted to make a name for himself, make some money,
00:28:46.240
felt that he was more important than the president, felt that the American people were really looking to
00:28:50.440
Miles Taylor for leadership, not Trump, not the guy they elected, but, but Miles Taylor,
00:28:56.480
because he knows better than the people and then the constitutional system. So he came, obviously,
00:29:02.700
just shows you the lies and the dishonesty of the times, because that's not a story.
00:29:10.600
Low-level staffer at some agency, or I guess, I guess he's relatively high at one of the agencies,
00:29:16.640
but there are a zillion agencies. So I don't know, in, in the broad administration, he's a low-level
00:29:20.920
staffer, is disgruntled at his boss. That's not a story. There's no reason to publish a big anonymous
00:29:25.740
op-ed. That doesn't mean anything. They just did it to try to create the insinuation of some
00:29:31.340
nefarious plot, or I guess they would have considered it a righteous plot to overthrow
00:29:35.960
the Trump administration, but it's fake. It's dishonest. And this kid is dishonest too. He
00:29:40.720
actually lied about it. He was asked point blank by Anderson Cooper on CNN, are you anonymous? And
00:29:45.120
he lied and he said, no. There was an op-ed, there was a book by someone calling themselves anonymous.
00:29:50.520
Are you aware of who that is? I'm not. Look, and I, that was a, a parlor game that happened in
00:29:57.840
Washington, DC of a lot of folks trying to think of, uh, who that might be. I've got my own thoughts
00:30:03.220
about who that might be, but, uh, you know, I want my focus to be on the president and I certainly
00:30:07.600
don't want to, uh, I, I wear a mask for two things, Anderson, uh, Halloween's and, uh, pandemics. So no.
00:30:15.720
What a lame denial. It's too bad though, because he had this kind of too clever by half answer when he
00:30:22.900
said, are you anonymous? He goes, well, Anderson, I'm going to answer a completely different question.
00:30:26.420
That seems sort of cute, but it's obvious that I'm evading the question, but it didn't work because
00:30:31.280
he had already flatly denied it. So he'd already lied. Are you aware of who anonymous is? No, I'm
00:30:35.520
not, but you are. So you're a liar and a traitor and a schmuck. And now, and everyone's going to
00:30:41.580
forget your name in two seconds after I finished reading the story. Is that country over party
00:30:45.700
supporting that guy? How about, how about, uh, Ilhan Omar, Ilhan Omar and all the rest of the squad
00:30:51.600
calling to defund the police, right? Calling to, and why did they say defund the police? Well,
00:30:56.740
it would cause mayhem and violence and death immediately. That would be the first
00:31:00.160
proximate effect of it. But, but beyond that, the police are a symbol. The reason they go after
00:31:06.900
the police is because the police are law enforcement and the police are themselves a symbol of the law,
00:31:11.620
of the order, of the constitutional system. You attack the police because you oppose the entire
00:31:18.220
system. I was at a rally once covering it for the, the revolutionary communist party. This was about
00:31:24.380
a year and a half ago. And the, that they talked about this explicitly. They said, this is the symbol
00:31:30.440
of the system and we're going to tear it down. And I was shocked at the time. And then I was even more
00:31:34.720
shocked because later on you heard this exact same rhetoric from elected representatives. Ilhan Omar was
00:31:39.660
just asked about this on Axios. And she said, there's no question about her support for the police.
00:31:43.740
I get very frustrated when people talk about what the polls say in favor of, you know, the Black Lives
00:31:52.300
Matter movement, or when I hear, you know, people say law and order, I support our law enforcement,
00:31:59.140
which is not even something that people are questioning, but are not willing to aggressively
00:32:06.820
speak to what it means for us to care about the Black individuals in our community as they care
00:32:17.900
for everyone else. Yeah. Nobody's questioning your support of the police because you have said
00:32:23.480
multiple times, you don't support the police and you've called to defund them. So you're going to
00:32:28.000
support that. You're going to, are you going to support the law and order, the law enforcement,
00:32:32.740
the law, the constitutional order, or are you going to support that lawlessness country over party?
00:32:36.820
And how about right back to Biden? There's a new leaked tape from Hunter Biden where he was caught
00:32:41.580
talking at ostensibly from Hunter Biden talking about how deeply mired in corruption, particularly
00:32:47.320
in China, the Biden family was. I get calls from my father to tell me that the New York times is
00:32:54.800
calling, but my old partner, Eric, who literally has done me harm for, I don't know how long is the
00:33:00.540
one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric. I have another
00:33:06.680
New York Times reporter calling about my representation of the, literally, Dr. Patrick Coe,
00:33:13.560
the f***ing spy chief of China, who started the company that my partner, who was worth $323 billion
00:33:25.180
found it. It is now missing. The richest man in the world is missing. Who was my partner? He was missing
00:33:36.160
since I last saw him in his $58 million apartment and signed a $4 billion deal to build the f***ing
00:33:43.940
largest f***ing LNG court in the world. And I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New
00:33:53.520
York, from the U.S. Attorney himself. My best friend in business, Devin, has named me as a witness
00:34:00.360
without telling me. In a criminal case, and my father without telling me.
00:34:07.460
So this goes on. I misspoke earlier. I said that it shows the kind of deep corruption that the Biden
00:34:14.380
family was mired in. It's not was, it is. It is mired in this corruption right now. And it appears
00:34:19.980
to go all the way to the top. That's country over party. Is that what that is? I don't think so. That's
00:34:24.140
the country over party. That's what we're going to rename the Democrats, the country over party. You
00:34:28.740
know, a couple of years ago, maybe more than that at this point, I was asked to be in a political
00:34:34.480
commercial. And it was a little too much for the focus groups. It was a little edgy. So didn't see
00:34:42.380
the light of day then. But this has been repurposed into a commercial that I think not only fits in
00:34:47.120
with the tenor of 2020, certainly fits in with the tenor of today's show. These are the stakes of the
00:34:52.540
election. Five months in office and Democrats are in full control of Washington, D.C. I'm not on a
00:34:58.440
timetable. I'm on a mission. Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote confirming six new Supreme Court
00:35:03.740
justices today. We have a chance to change the course of history. COVID czar Andrew Cuomo tells
00:35:10.200
us about severe new penalties for Democrats implement free health care for all illegal
00:35:15.040
immigrants. Where is Joe Biden? The president hasn't been seen in public for three weeks.
00:35:19.600
It's Washington's worst kept secret that Kamala Harris is calling the shots.
00:35:25.720
Washington's newest parlor game is who will be Kamala's vice president.
00:35:33.740
It doesn't have to be this way. There's still time to stop the zombie apocalypse.
00:35:42.360
That's basically what we're talking about. And the zombie might not be all of us. You know,
00:35:47.680
it might not be like actual zombies where you got to like shoot them right in the heart and they're
00:35:51.460
coming around, they're just eating you. It's a zombie constitutional order. It's a zombie country.
00:35:56.420
It's a zombie mainstream media apparatus. It's a zombie educational apparatus. It's a zombie country
00:36:02.280
that has been hollowed out from within, deprived of its vitality. It is now staggering along,
00:36:10.180
kind of looks like Joe Biden while it's staggering along. Are we going to preserve the life of the
00:36:14.840
country or are we going to let it get sucked out even more? Potentially if the Democrats get their way
00:36:20.920
such that conservatives will not have the opportunity to win at the national level anymore,
00:36:26.120
which is what they are openly, explicitly promising. We'll find out November 3rd. By the way,

00:36:57.620
mailbag. I'm running late as always with the mailbag, so I'm going to fly through these. First
00:37:13.860
question from Jacob. Hey, Michael, my brother recently brought up a point that the rate of
00:37:19.000
abortions has experienced a greater decrease in years in which Democrats were presidents. He
00:37:23.640
argued, why should we vote for a Republican if our main priority is voting for a pro-life country?
00:37:28.700
He argued that even if they don't pursue policy in line with us, the results speak for themselves.
00:37:33.500
This has me confused also why rates of abortion decreasing faster under Democrat presidents.
00:37:38.140
Came for Ben, stayed for Michael. The reason, I've seen this meme going around. First of all,
00:37:42.840
the premise is not true. The chart that you're referring to that's going around is fake.
00:37:47.000
Even PolitiFact and the CDC admit that this is fake. The reason that it is fake is that states
00:37:51.780
voluntarily report their abortion data, and some states do and some states don't, and the reporting
00:37:56.220
varies from year to year. So you can't even rely on the chart. But let's just say it were true.
00:38:00.420
Let's say that abortion dipped down more under Democratic presidents than under Republican
00:38:04.160
presidents, which isn't true. There's no evidence that it's true, but let's say that it were.
00:38:07.580
Even if that were legit, correlation is not causation. It may well be the case that abortion rates
00:38:12.660
tick down when mercury is in retrograde or something, but that doesn't mean that mercury
00:38:17.620
being in retrograde is the cause of the decrease in the abortions. Why do abortions decrease?
00:38:22.740
Well, it can be because the economy is doing better. When does the economy do better? It did better
00:38:26.620
under Trump than it has under basically anybody in American history. So, okay, there's one mark in
00:38:31.720
our favor. It's often because there are more restrictions on abortions. Who puts more restrictions
00:38:37.280
on abortion into place? Conservatives and Republicans. But sometimes there's a lag on that. A policy will go
00:38:42.340
into effect. Let's say you're talking about fifth grade education. That's not going to have an effect
00:38:46.780
on the abortion rate probably until a few years down the line into teenage years and into twenties and
00:38:51.480
thirties. Why else are there lower rates of abortion? Well, because more judicial rulings have
00:38:57.140
circumscribed the breadth of Roe versus Wade and, and ridiculous judicial decisions that have permitted
00:39:03.980
abortion. Well, how, how long is that effect going to be? A Republican appoints a judge. A judge might not get a
00:39:08.960
case like that for five, 10, 20 years. So that effect is going to be, there, there's just no
00:39:13.260
connection between the president and the abortion rate. And also the chart is fake. From Alan,
00:39:21.800
do you like pumpkin spice flavor? Alan, I feel like I'm going to make myself into a little Jack Dorsey
00:39:28.000
here. You know, it's like the hipster and the, I, I love pumpkin spice. I love it. It's great. It's too
00:39:35.380
sweet when you order it at the coffee shop. So you got to reduce the amount of sweetness, but
00:39:39.420
it's terrific. I look forward to it every year. If that makes me basic, I don't know. Based and
00:39:45.280
basic. That's, that's what I say. Pumpkin spice. From Travis. Hey, Michael, would it be fair to claim
00:39:50.080
the Federalist party eventually became the Republican party while the Democratic Republican
00:39:53.380
party became the Democrat party? Or were the divisions between the Republican and Democrat parties
00:39:57.720
completely separate and distinct from those of the Federalist and Democratic Republican
00:40:02.380
parties? Many thanks. The answer is yes. The answer to all of that is yes. The first political
00:40:08.560
party in the United States begins after Washington. If you supported Washington in those early years of
00:40:16.660
the country, you were pro-administration. That was your part, but there weren't really parties yet.
00:40:20.840
Then you had the rise of the Federalist party. There was the Federalist party. That's like John Adams.
00:40:25.980
And then in response to that, you had the Democratic Republican party or the Jeffersonian Republican
00:40:31.480
party. Those were a little, it's how you can't even call them more liberal or more whatever.
00:40:36.660
It's just, they were kind of different parties. Then the Federalist party goes away as a national
00:40:42.440
governing party and you have only the Democratic Republican party. That, this is the era of good
00:40:47.940
feelings. Then the Democratic Republican party progresses, progresses, progresses. And then you have
00:40:52.660
the Democratic party, the current Democratic party break away founded by Andrew Jackson. As a result of
00:40:59.300
that founding by Andrew Jackson, you have a response to it, which is the Whig party. The Whig party persists
00:41:04.580
for a few decades. Then the Whig party goes the way of the dodo and you get the Republican party
00:41:10.280
founded with some anti-slavery Democrats and Northern abolitionists. The Republican party founded to abolish
00:41:16.540
slavery. And then the Republican party opposes the Democratic party in the civil war. The Republican
00:41:21.600
party wins. The Republican party becomes a national governing party, but the Democratic party doesn't go
00:41:25.500
away. And that's where you get our two systems. Now, if you were to ask me, Michael,
00:41:28.360
you could get in a time machine and transport yourself back to the Adams administration.
00:41:31.640
Who do you support? I would probably support a Federalist. And I suppose some Democrats would
00:41:36.920
support the Jeffersonian Democrats, but a lot of them probably wouldn't like the Jeffersonian
00:41:41.160
Democrats too much because they were too small government, right? I'm trying to use the terms that
00:41:46.640
we use today to talk about our government, but they're not perfect analogs. They are all different
00:41:52.120
political parties. And I think it's a trap to try to look back in history and say, oh, if I lived then,
00:41:57.420
it would be exactly this. No, these were different historical questions. Politics changes over time.
00:42:02.040
There are eternal principles. These people understood the principles perhaps a little
00:42:05.260
differently than we do. But that is a brief history of American political parties. From Colin,
00:42:09.480
my little 11-year-old brother is wearing nail polish. What do I do? I try to convince him it's
00:42:14.140
for girls, not boys, but my mom, dad, stepmom, and half-sister all support his decision. How do I help
00:42:18.200
him? You probably can't because you're not raising him. He's not your kid. He's your brother.
00:42:21.940
It's bad. That's not good. They shouldn't be encouraging it. This is bad parenting on their
00:42:27.300
part. They're doing it because there's a popular mania that we need to indulge any sort of curious
00:42:35.600
or unusual instinct or delusion among children, especially children. That's what's creepiest
00:42:40.820
about it. But you don't. One thing you could point out to them, because we're often told,
00:42:45.240
let children be children. Just let them be them. There is some truth to that. You want to
00:42:49.520
encourage their better inclinations and their natural passions and talents if they're ordered
00:42:54.420
rightly. But when I was a kid, I wanted to be Batman. I told people to call me Batman. My mother
00:43:00.640
did not tolerate that for very long because I'm not Batman, and it would have been wrong to indulge
00:43:05.060
the idea that I am Batman. So all education is coercive, and education means upbringing. It's not
00:43:10.900
just book learning. It's how you are brought up, how you are raised, the manners you have, the way that
00:43:15.280
you engage with society. All education is coercive. You will tell people to do some things and not to
00:43:21.260
do other things. To indulge in this kind of delusion is a sort of coercion because you are
00:43:28.520
steeping them in a very radical liberal ideology. You could also steep them in a more conservative
00:43:33.940
philosophy. You could also steep them in religion. You could also steep them in whatever. It is a choice
00:43:40.440
that your parents are making, and I suspect they just don't want to make the choice at all. So let him do
00:43:44.140
what he wants to do. Can't let kids do what they want to do. Read, read, what's that book? The one where
00:43:49.600
they kill Piggy. Read Lord of the Flies. Read that. Letting children do what they want to do all of the
00:43:54.180
time is not a great idea as a rule. Perhaps the nail polish is harmless. Perhaps it's not. Perhaps it will
00:43:59.860
confuse him, and that would be very sad, and I don't think they want to have to answer for why they
00:44:03.660
messed up their child's psychology when he was so young. So you could present it to them in that way,
00:44:08.360
but really, ultimately, you don't have much of a say in the matter. From Josh,
00:44:11.380
Oh, swarthy one. Why is it that in conversations about hotly debated subjects, liberals will often
00:44:18.240
interject right as a filler, as though by merely speaking the word you will hypnotically be swayed
00:44:24.900
to their position? Does this tactic actually work? I've always found it to be intellectually a
00:44:29.980
turnoff. P.S. Love the Show came from Noel, stayed for Clavin. Wait a second. I don't like that last part.
00:44:34.460
Right? Right? Right? They do this. It's a tick. We all have verbal ticks, but we should work to
00:44:41.980
eliminate them, and the left has more verbal ticks, I've found, than the right. It used to say, we used
00:44:47.820
to say, this is my position. Two plus two equals four. You know? You know? Now we would say two plus
00:44:54.860
two equals four, right? The reason you do it is to establish your premises along your line of
00:45:02.320
argument so that it becomes more difficult to disagree in the end. Now, if the argument were
00:45:07.220
really, really strong, probably they wouldn't have to do this, or if they were more in command
00:45:10.480
of their rhetoric and oratory skills, they would not have to do this. I suspect the other reason that
00:45:16.700
they do this so frequently is because they're not confident in their premises. So they'll say,
00:45:22.900
we all know gender is a social construct, right? So gender is a social construct, right? And
00:45:27.860
therefore, men can be women, right? Because gender is a social construct.
00:45:32.200
Quod erat demonstrandum. You know, there it is. There's my proof.
00:45:37.320
But I don't grant the premise of a right. I don't do that. And there are all these different
00:45:44.720
ticks that come up. People used to state their opinions. Then they started to say, I think.
00:45:49.600
I think this. I think that. Then I think became, I believe. I believe this. I believe. Then it
00:45:54.120
became, I feel. I feel. I just feel. Then it's, I feel like. I feel. I just feel like. And that entire
00:46:01.500
rhetorical progression takes you further and further away from making claims, from making truth claims.
00:46:16.340
men are not women, to use the example we've been using. Men are not women. That is my opinion. And
00:46:22.740
it's a statement of fact. And my opinion happens to be correct because opinions are statement of
00:46:26.140
fact from one's point of view. Then I can say, I think. Okay. That's granting that there could be
00:46:30.620
disagreement. Then I believe. Because people don't take belief or faith seriously now. That's taking it
00:46:35.340
even further. That's bringing it out of the realm of fact and opinion into the realm of preference.
00:46:39.220
Then it's, I feel like. Well, that's just a sensation. You can't disagree with a sensation.
00:46:44.600
The like. Even the use of like, like, like. The valley girl. Well, it's just like, like, like,
00:46:49.640
like. That is taking statements away, even beyond metaphor, into simile. So you can't disagree with it.
00:46:57.860
Everything is just like something else. It's all just a comparison. You're not making any statements
00:47:01.560
of fact. It's because we're afraid of making claims now. Because we're told, you can't disagree
00:47:07.580
about anything. You can't, you're erasing someone's lived experience. You're denying their
00:47:11.580
oppression. You're, you're claiming that there's an objective reality, but we know everything's
00:47:15.940
relative. These little ticks reflect the ideological framework that we're all moving around in,
00:47:21.900
like fish moving through water. They're unaware of that water. So watch it in your own speech.
00:47:28.820
Don't use these frivolous, meaningless expressions, such as country over party. Don't do that
00:47:34.300
because then in that case, we will all just be sitting here with our dunce hats on,
00:47:40.740
blowing our streamers at the country over party. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles

You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are
00:48:45.460
enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it
00:48:50.500
drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental.
00:48:57.640
And that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
