00:00:00.000
If the left did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all. We're seeing this
00:00:04.640
play out now, especially as the media are convinced that we're moving into a democratic
00:00:09.720
administration. You're seeing a huge shift in the way that the media are covering politicians,
00:00:15.300
the way the politicians are reacting to the people. Even some prominent left-wingers are
00:00:20.520
admitting this fact. Sarah Silverman, criticize her all you want, but at least she was honest.
00:00:25.680
Just recently on a podcast, she was describing why it seems like the left plays by a totally
00:00:30.280
different set of rules, and she admitted it's because liberals get to do whatever they want.
00:00:35.440
So what do you think is the difference between you saying it and somebody else saying it and
00:00:40.300
not getting away with it? It seems like you get away with a lot of stuff because you're so
00:00:43.740
funny, but some of it's pretty dark. I think it's the intention behind it. This is a math term,
00:00:52.160
but it's kind of like the absolute power of the joke. Especially back then, I always said the
00:00:56.780
opposite of what I thought, and that was the joke, kind of. And then hopefully the truth transcends
00:01:03.860
that I don't really feel this way, not to break it down in the least funny possible way. But it's
00:01:09.940
also interesting, too, because that comedy I did, you're right. It was like, oh, it's okay because
00:01:17.320
you know I don't mean it. But then it also is kind of like, we're liberal, so we can say anything.
00:01:24.080
So we can say the words that are unsayable or whatever. You know I don't mean it, so I can say
00:01:29.220
it. There is kind of like a liberal douchiness about it, I think, in retrospect. I mean, I don't
00:01:37.580
You know, not the phrase I would have come up with, but probably totally precise. That's what
00:01:42.520
we're seeing play out right now. This is a shifting of standards that is only going to
00:01:50.080
get worse and worse and worse over the next weeks and probably the next years. And hopefully
00:01:55.220
we can still push back against it. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:07.360
Welcome back to the show. Speaking of shifting standards, we yesterday were talking about that
00:02:12.120
gal who played on the Vanderbilt football team for like five minutes and then they lost 41 to nothing.
00:02:18.780
And I don't know, maybe those were unrelated events. My favorite comment from yesterday from
00:02:22.240
Christophe Rodriguez, who says, with the way Vanderbilt plays, I thought they always had women
00:02:26.960
on the team. That's not nice. That's playing on old standards and stereotypes. And it's not politically
00:02:35.540
correct to say that. The left is replacing old standards with new standards, double standards
00:02:44.260
for themselves. They're replacing the conventional standards with political correctness. This is a
00:02:49.720
point we were discussing quite a lot yesterday because I think that the right totally misunderstands
00:02:56.200
this moment. They misunderstand how to combat these new standards of political correctness that
00:03:01.620
the left is foisting on them. I'll give you a perfect example of this. Came out yesterday from
00:03:06.220
Steve Schmidt. Steve Schmidt is, he says he's a Republican. He's not really a Republican. He's a
00:03:11.600
liberal Republican. He ran a lot of squishy Republican campaigns and lost. And his job basically as a
00:03:17.980
consultant was to enrich himself by losing Republican races and then saying really nice things about
00:03:24.180
Democrats. He's a court jester conservative, you might call him, as the phrase that I've been using the
00:03:29.980
past few weeks. And as we've been seeing around us a whole lot. So yesterday, Steve Schmidt decides he's,
00:03:38.020
he's got the strange new respect of liberals. All the liberals are very nice to him. He is
00:03:41.840
functionally a liberal. He tweets out one of the most vile rants against Ann Coulter that I've ever read.
00:03:49.820
And people have very strong feelings about Ann Coulter. I really like Ann Coulter, but some people,
00:03:53.840
they hate her and she's terrible and she's this and she's that. This is what Steve Schmidt had to say
00:03:58.680
about her. To her on, on Twitter, you are a cancer. You are a vile and disgusting human being who has
00:04:05.700
made herself a multimillionaire preying on the weak and the stupid. You're a racist and a fascist.
00:04:10.760
FDR said, judge me by my enemies. I'm delighted to be yours. Trump will lose. He will be disgraced.
00:04:15.540
And one day somewhere, someone, hopefully many years from now, who was born after these days end,
00:04:20.220
will read your obituary and understand what an open and fetid sore you were on our politics.
00:04:27.160
It will be a small paragraph for an unaccomplished and not long remembered lonely person who sowed
00:04:32.860
hate, vitriol, and division. You are pathetic. You can see Steve Schmidt's very upset about hate,
00:04:38.800
vitriol, and division. What did Ann do to deserve this kind of reaction? She tweeted out an article
00:04:44.960
that criticized Steve Schmidt's career. Not this personal kind of thing. And this is what he says.
00:04:50.560
Imagine speaking to a woman this way. Any woman, your worst enemy, woman you totally hate. Imagine if you
00:04:57.040
were a real man, not like Steve Schmidt, but an actual man speaking to a woman this way. Absolutely
00:05:02.580
disgusting. So I made this point. I said, this is not the way that men should speak to women.
00:05:08.580
And what I heard, first of all, obviously, if it had been flipped, if it had been a conservative man
00:05:15.040
talking about a liberal woman this way, the guy would probably be at Rikers right now. He'd probably be
00:05:19.780
in Alcatraz, ostracized from the country perhaps. But because it's a liberal man saying this about a
00:05:25.740
conservative woman, he's allowed to get away with it. But no man should be able to say this about
00:05:29.380
any woman. So I point this out. And the left responds to me. And they say, a lot of liberal
00:05:34.400
women, they say, oh, he's not saying it about a woman. He's saying about Ann Coulter. Oh, yeah,
00:05:38.100
it doesn't matter. Ann Coulter gets whatever, whatever she deserves. Steve Schmidt responded to me. He said,
00:05:42.860
oh, yeah, I'm glad that I said that about Ann Coulter. Very womanish response. Not womanly. That's when
00:05:49.020
women behave like women. But womanish, it's when men behave with the worst characteristics and
00:05:53.900
stereotypes of women. And one response I got broadly from the left was they said,
00:05:59.000
Michael, I thought you guys hate identity politics. Who cares if a man says it to a woman or a woman
00:06:04.840
says it to a man or a man says it to a man or a woman says it to a woman? Doesn't matter. There's
00:06:08.400
no difference. Yes, there is. Yes, there is. Men should behave differently in front of women
00:06:14.300
than they would in front of other men. There is greater latitude for the way that men behave at the
00:06:21.720
bar with the men and the sailors than there is for the way that men behave in front of women.
00:06:27.640
Any woman. I don't care if you don't like her. That's an old standard. It's not identity politics.
00:06:33.000
That's called chivalry. Edmund Burke, the great conservative philosopher, said in Reflections
00:06:38.580
on the Revolution in France, he lamented. He said, the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters,
00:06:43.240
economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
00:06:47.060
However, chivalry is the standard. Identity politics is the new politically correct left
00:06:52.600
wing standard that the left is trying to replace chivalry with. And a bunch of even sort of moderates
00:07:00.640
or conservatives will come out and say, ah, well, we should have no standards at all.
00:07:05.740
We don't want identity politics, but if we don't want identity politics, we can't have chivalry either.
00:07:10.700
If we don't want the new politically correct standard, we can't have the old standards either.
00:07:14.200
That's BS. That's ridiculous. We need to have those old standards. If we don't have those old
00:07:19.400
standards, if we don't have some standard at all, some understanding of virtue and behavior and the
00:07:24.520
way we ought to relate to society, then we have no political vision. Political visions require,
00:07:31.580
politics just means how we all get along together. Political vision requires that you understand and
00:07:37.580
have some sense of how we all get along together. And it's this misunderstanding is part of the big
00:07:43.840
reason that, that Oscar nominated actresses are becoming, are pretending to be men now and men are
00:07:51.380
behaving this way in front of women. And we're all so vicious to one another regardless of our sex and
00:07:56.140
even regardless of our, of our positions in society. Because we, we no longer have a standard. And when
00:08:04.480
that happens, you have social collapse. It's really difficult. You know, you see this in certain
00:08:09.760
areas of the country where, where maybe jobs have been shipped overseas and standards have collapsed.
00:08:16.200
You're in, you're in pretty bad straits. And actually a guy who was raised in one of these
00:08:19.860
situations, raised in a trailer park with no clear path to success, kicked out of high school multiple
00:08:24.260
times and faced with becoming a father in his teens is Jason Waller. The definition of a true underdog.
00:08:30.860
After hearing the words, no, or you can't too many times, Jason unleashed the power within to start
00:08:36.040
three successful companies. His most recent venture rather is power home solar skyrocketing
00:08:42.780

00:09:24.740
podcast at true underdog.com or anywhere you get your podcasts. Total, total double standard. The new,
00:09:35.000
the new standards are the problem. But the fact that we don't have old standards anymore,
00:09:40.120
we don't have any whatsoever as conservatives is a big problem too. I'll give you an example of this
00:09:46.000
kind of the dishonesty of political correctness, of wokeism, of whatever term you want to use.
00:09:52.260
Nike. Nike might be the single wokest company on the face of the earth. Colin Kaepernick,
00:10:00.720
back in years and years ago when he was still playing football, decides to protest the American
00:10:05.880
flag, the symbol of the country. What does Nike do? Well-known American company that ships job
00:10:12.060
overseas and uses overseas labor and cheap labor and slave labor. Nike hires him to be their spokesman.
00:10:17.940
Taking a stand against the American flag. Nike was going to produce a shoe with the revolutionary
00:10:22.640
war flag on the back, the Betsy Ross flag. Colin Kaepernick said, no, you can't do that.
00:10:27.880
The American revolution's bad. You can't, you can't have that shoe. So Nike, as woke as they get,
00:10:33.420
specifically in this alleged issue of civil rights, because that's how Colin Kaepernick is,
00:10:38.760
is pretending that he is supporting. Nike has apparently been lobbying against a bill that
00:10:48.120
would ban imports of products made from China using slave Uyghur labor. They were, well, that's so
00:10:56.140
weird. I thought Nike was for civil rights. But we know that China, where they're getting a lot of
00:11:01.360
cheap, cheap products. We know that China uses slave labor. We know that they're, they're putting
00:11:06.580
a whole population Uyghurs into labor camps. So surely Nike wouldn't want to use that slave labor,
00:11:14.200
right? Wrong. They actually lobbied against it. Not just Nike, Coca-Cola. Apple also sought to weaken
00:11:19.720
legislation that would bar U.S. companies from relying on the forced labor of Uyghurs and other
00:11:26.540
Muslim minorities, Muslim minorities in particular in China's Xinjiang region. This is according to
00:11:31.400
Business Insider. Well, of course, because they, they want to pretend that they're woke, right?
00:11:38.080
They want to foist this kind of woke, politically correct standard on you, but they don't want to
00:11:45.000
follow it themselves. And Nike isn't really the problem here. The problem is not the, the deeply held
00:11:52.220
political beliefs of Nike and Coca-Cola and Apple. The problem is the cowardice of Nike, Coca-Cola and
00:11:59.500
Apple, because they will acquiesce to the most fanciful activism of their wokest employees. And
00:12:06.960
they will acquiesce to the, the most often most anti-American elements in public activism in the
00:12:12.520
country. They have no standards. And so they just go along and follow the almighty dollar. I'm all for
00:12:19.400
making a buck, but you have to do that within a moral framework. And these guys are not doing that
00:12:23.820
at all. Now, the question is, when we point out this double standard, this hypocrisy, is Nike going
00:12:29.580
to pay for it? No, no, they're not. I, a lot of times conservatives want to point out and say, ha ha,
00:12:37.400
the liberals say they believe in this, but then they violate that. The perfect example of course is
00:12:44.480
the liberals say that they're tolerant, but actually they're behaving in an intolerant way.
00:12:50.320
So much for the tolerant left, right? This is a line that's become a cliche.
00:12:54.640
And the reason that it has no effect is that the left doesn't care. The left knows that they're
00:13:01.460
intolerant. In fact, the father of the new left, Herbert Marcuse, wrote an essay in the 1960s called
00:13:08.120
Repressive Tolerance, where he explicitly says we should not tolerate conservatives. We should not
00:13:13.240
tolerate right-wing ideas. We should tolerate our ideas. And actually, the guy's got a point.
00:13:19.000
You can't, you, you can't tolerate everything. This is a finite world and we've got to have
00:13:25.200
boundaries on it. So for instance, you can't tolerate intolerance. You can, Chesterton made
00:13:30.380
this point. He said, there's a thought that stops thought. And that's the only thought that ought to
00:13:33.140
be stopped. There is speech that stops speech like the heckler's veto. And so you can't, or sedition
00:13:37.960
actually for that matter. It undercuts the first amendment. So obviously there are constraints here.
00:13:43.560
The left does not care about appearing hypocritical according to other standards. What they're trying
00:13:49.920
to do is replace those standards with new ones. The left doesn't care about the Uyghurs in China.
00:13:56.520
And we can, we can yell about the Uyghurs until we're blue in the face. It won't matter.
00:14:01.520
The left doesn't care about freedom, doesn't care about slavery. The, the point of the new standards
00:14:07.100
that they are foisting on us from the 1619 project all the way up to gender ideology, which we'll get to in
00:14:12.560
just a second with this actress in Hollywood. The point of it is purely negative. It is to overturn
00:14:19.840
the established order. The 1619 project is a great example. The 1619 project has as its central thesis
00:14:28.880
that the point of the American revolution was to preserve slavery. That, that is the thesis of the
00:14:34.780
whole thing. And the New York Times puts it out and spends millions of dollars promoting this and it
00:14:38.480
goes into classrooms. Academic historians, most of whom are left wing, come out and say, actually guys,
00:14:44.620
that's not true. There is no evidence of that. There's a lot of evidence to the contrary. The
00:14:50.740
New York Times finally, after months and months, has to make a correction and says, okay, actually,
00:14:55.720
yeah, no, that, that wasn't the reason for the American revolution. But they leave the article.
00:15:00.540
They keep putting money into the 1619 project because the point of the 1619 project is not to
00:15:06.740
follow a thesis about how slavery caused the American revolution, the protection of slavery rather. The
00:15:12.120
point of the 1619 project is to get you to hate your country. You see this with the sexual revolution,
00:15:18.680
the left constantly exploiting groups of people who have sort of unusual sexual desires. You see this
00:15:24.920
notably with the homosexual movement and the transsexual movement. Homosexual movement says
00:15:30.860
there are two sexes, men and women, and you are born with your innate sexual desires. It's not just a
00:15:37.760
preference that can change. It is a sexual orientation. You are born this way. Nobody would choose this,
00:15:43.520
right? These are all the things we've heard from that wing of the sexual revolution for decades now.
00:15:47.980
And therefore, we need to accept people's varying sexual desires. Okay, fair, fair enough argument,
00:15:55.920
right? But then you get the transsexual or transgender argument and they say there is no
00:16:00.200
such thing as biological sex. There are more sexes. Also, there are more gender expressions. Gender is
00:16:05.920
different than sex. How exactly? We can't quite tell. Men can become women. Women can become men.
00:16:11.040
And there's nothing innate or immutable about it. But of course, if that were the case,
00:16:15.160
first of all, if, if transgenderism is true, then there actually have to be real categories
00:16:20.340
of men and women, because it's the only way to explain how men could become women.
00:16:25.780
Also, there's this contradiction within transgenderism, which is that on the one hand,
00:16:29.880
sex is so essential to our sense of selves that if, if you are, if you look like a man,
00:16:35.540
but you feel like a woman, then you'll have to go through very expensive mutilations and
00:16:39.320
totally try to transform your body to more closely appear like the sex that you identify as.
00:16:44.160
But also, there's no such thing as real sex and a man really can become a woman and a woman can
00:16:48.560
become a man or anything in the middle. Well, those things don't compute. They don't add up.
00:16:54.300
The left doesn't care. The point of all of these ideas, all of which are, are internally inconsistent
00:16:59.540
with the broader left-wing program, the point of it is just to smash the old standards.
00:17:05.300
So it doesn't matter. One day, the kind of born this way argument works. Okay, good. Okay,
00:17:09.600
we'll do born this way. One day, gender as a social construct works. Okay, we'll use gender
00:17:13.660
as a social construct. Doesn't matter that they don't go along together. When you recognize that
00:17:17.920
the only thing they're after, the only thing the left is after is this kind of revolution that,
00:17:22.940
as Whitaker Chambers writes in, in Witness, Whitaker Chambers, a famous ex-communist, he's,
00:17:27.480
he's basically the guy who turned Reagan into a conservative through his book.
00:17:30.880
He says, the difference between freedom and communism, it's not that they're new ideologies.
00:17:38.840
Communism is the second oldest ideology in the world that goes back to the Garden of Eden when
00:17:42.980
the serpent told Eve, ye should be as gods. Ye shall be as gods. You can do whatever you want.
00:17:49.080
You can be whatever you want. And of course, that's not the case because we're in a finite world.
00:17:54.720
And this brings us to our friend, Ellen Page. I can't say that. I'm going to, this podcast is
00:18:01.080
going to be taken down if I use the phrase Ellen Page. I will admit something. I have no idea who
00:18:07.640
Ellen Page is. I wouldn't recognize her. I couldn't pick her out of a lineup. I don't think I've seen
00:18:12.540
her movies. Somebody told me she was in Inception and I did see that movie, but I don't remember her.
00:18:17.280
I don't, I haven't seen her stuff, but apparently she's a famous actress and she was a lesbian.
00:18:22.840
Apparently, by the way, there is a connection to Ellen Page. During 2015, during the run-up to the
00:18:29.000
2016 election, Ellen Page, this very left-wing, then lesbian actress, walked up to Ted Cruz,
00:18:35.500
who also didn't recognize her, and starts picking a debate with him about LGBT rights and sexuality.
00:18:44.420
Now take a list. It wasn't particularly coherent. It's very funny. You can tell she's frustrated
00:18:47.520
that Cruz doesn't know who she is. This was her perspective in 2015.
00:18:52.840
What about the question about LGBT people getting fired for just strictly being gay or trans?
00:18:56.920
Well, what we're seeing right now is actually, we're seeing Bible-believing Christians being
00:19:04.200
persecuted. So, for example, one of the couples...
00:19:07.980
No, for living according to their faith. So, for example...
00:19:10.440
Yeah, but you think people would have used that argument in segregation era?
00:19:13.400
I'm happy to answer your question, but not to have a back-and-forth debate.
00:19:16.380
If they were murdering people, it would be wrong. But in Iran and ISIS, it is the governmental body
00:19:23.280
that is executing them for being homosexual. And why does the Obama administration not stand
00:19:28.820
I don't know. I would love to talk to Obama about it. That'd be great.
00:19:35.160
And eventually, she just sort of walks away, says, listen, lady, you know, I've answered your
00:19:38.960
questions, and she goes away. And she's obviously dejected that he doesn't know who she is.
00:19:43.900
She's no longer a lesbian. So, Ellen Page is now identifying as Elliot Page,
00:19:51.980
which means, according to gender ideology, she has been a man the whole time. Nobody knew it.
00:19:58.900
She didn't even know it, but she has been a man because her true self, according to this Gnostic,
00:20:04.280
dualistic ideology of transgenderism, whereby your body has nothing to do with your true self.
00:20:09.280
Your true self is this purely metaphysical entity. She was always a man,
00:20:13.660
which means, because she was identifying as a lesbian. She likes chicks. It means that for
00:20:19.960
all these years, a straight white man has been stealing the roles of women and lesbians.
00:20:28.080
That's outrageous. That's a scandal. You know, the patriarchy strikes again.
00:20:33.540
She is a straight white male. She is therefore part of the problem.
00:20:40.920
She's not a man, right? She's obviously not a man. She's a woman. She's actually a petite woman,
00:20:45.000
as you can see in that video. She's not particularly masculine.
00:20:51.000
Now, what is the issue here? If she is a straight white man, is she going to be castigated in the way
00:20:56.900
that straight white men are by this left-wing culture? Now there are actually quotas. You're not
00:21:01.720
eligible for certain awards in Hollywood if you have too many straight white men in the movie.
00:21:09.040
So is she a straight white man? That's what she's saying she is. But not really, because everyone
00:21:14.980
knows that she's a woman and she's just identifying as a man. And she can do whatever she wants.
00:21:20.180
She can do whatever she wants. It just doesn't matter. People are not going to consider Ellen Page on
00:21:25.380
the same sexual category as Ted Cruz, for instance, or as me. They can do whatever they want. And I
00:21:35.760
think, look, we need to point out this hypocrisy. It's a big portion of this show is identifying that.
00:21:40.640
But we have to go further than that as conservatives. We need to recognize that they don't care
00:21:46.180
if we call them hypocrites. Some of them recognize the hypocrisy. Most of them don't even acknowledge
00:21:52.380
the existence of objective truth or an objective moral standard, right? One of the points of this
00:21:58.660
idea that gender is socially constructed, one of the points of this idea that intersectionality means
00:22:05.140
that only my suffering is the way that I can measure moral goodness in the world. One of the
00:22:10.580
points of progressivism explicitly is that there are no fixed laws to the universe. The early progressives
00:22:19.720
write about this in almost these exact words. There are no fixed laws. There is no eternally true
00:22:24.480
human nature or sexuality or whatever that everything is evolving and changing. And so they
00:22:30.340
can't, they can't be held to account for those standards because the standard they're foisting on
00:22:35.300
us is whatever they think, whatever the party says is right. We covered on my book show at PragerU,
00:22:41.500
1984, where history is always being rewritten. Standards are always being rewritten. Language is always
00:22:46.980
being rewritten and whatever the party says is right. Now that's become cliche to invoke, but there's a
00:22:54.220
reason that George Orwell saw that happening because that is what's happening right now. And the way to
00:23:00.940
fight that is not just to point out the hypocrisy. The way to fight that is to offer our own vision of
00:23:06.380
things. The left is giving people their vision. The conservatives are not giving people our vision
00:23:11.680
because we're too afraid to make claims about how we should live in the world, how families should
00:23:17.620
be recognized, how small local governments should be made up, the relationship between the local to
00:23:23.640
the national, how we ought to behave. Because we've thrown our hands up in the air and said, you do you.
00:23:28.200
If it doesn't scare the horses, if it doesn't hurt anybody else, that's fine. No. The reason that the
00:23:34.820
left is winning on the culture is because people don't want that. People don't want to throw their
00:23:39.180
hands up in the air. People want a vision. And conservatives have failed to do that. We need
00:23:44.660
to fight. Actually, speaking of Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz, one of the last elected Republicans who is actually
00:23:50.580
sticking by the fight and letting the legal process play out on the 2020 election, which we'll get to
00:23:55.880
in just one second. But I've got a more pressing problem, which is that sweet little Elisa deserves a
00:24:03.720
very nice Christmas present. And I'm very bad at picking out Christmas presents. I often go for
00:24:08.400
jewelry, but I don't really, I don't know that much about jewelry. And very often the good jewelry
00:24:13.000
is too expensive to afford. One of the most popular gifts you can possibly give for the holidays. Very
00:24:17.420
good reason for that. And especially if you stick with the classics. Fortunately, I've got the answer
00:24:22.960
to these high jewelry prices at the Pearl Source, where you get the highest quality Pearl jewelry
00:24:27.720

00:24:40.440

00:24:43.480
the highest marked up and most opaque industries. You got to go to the Pearl Source. There's no

00:25:40.780
There have been a lot of, there's been a lot of disinformation and misinformation about this 2020
00:25:45.280
election. 2020 election was almost a month ago today. Then for some reason, it took them a long
00:25:52.480
time to count those votes. On election night, it looked like Trump won pretty clearly. Then more
00:25:57.080
votes came in and then it looked like Joe Biden won. There have been some irregularities. There has
00:26:02.980
been some illegalities in, in some of these voting places. And the Trump team is promising that they're
00:26:09.340
going to prove that this was rigged and Trump won. Some, some of Trump's lawyers saying Trump won in a
00:26:14.220
landslide. Where does it stand now? A lot of the legal challenges have been dismissed out of court.
00:26:20.960
There have been, then been challenges in the legislatures of these states saying, look,
00:26:24.440
there's evidence of this fraud. You can't ignore this. You should decertify the vote.
00:26:27.820
Are they going to decertify the vote? It seems unlikely. Just historically speaking,
00:26:31.920
it seems very unlikely. So should we just give it up? Should we just concede today? I don't think so.
00:26:36.420
I don't think that we should delude ourselves and say there is a hundred percent chance Trump is
00:26:41.520
going to be declared the winner. I don't think that's true. I don't think that we should,
00:26:46.380
on the other hand, concede and say, no reason. Let's stop all these legal challenges before the
00:26:52.680
electors vote on the 14th. Let's just, let's just give it up. Don't think it would be good for the
00:26:57.160
country to give it. I don't think that's true either. I think there is a legal process. We should
00:27:02.900
fight through that legal process tooth and nail until the very end. And it would appear my friend
00:27:10.860
and podcast co-host Ted Cruz agrees with that as well. Senator Cruz just released this letter
00:27:17.000
yesterday. The statement is today, an emergency appeal was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court
00:27:22.920
challenging the election results in Pennsylvania. This appeal raises serious legal issues. And I
00:27:27.980
believe the court should hear the case on an expedited basis. What's the legal issue? There's
00:27:32.880
one in particular. It's not the Dominion stuff or the questions about the way even certain votes
00:27:38.560
were counted. You know, there are, some of those are more serious challenges than others,
00:27:42.720
but this is specific. The Pennsylvania constitution requires in-person voting except in narrow and
00:27:48.860
defined circumstances. Late last year, the Pennsylvania legislature passed a law that
00:27:53.480
purported to allow universal mail-in voting, notwithstanding the Pennsylvania constitutions
00:27:57.920
express prohibition of that. This appeal argues that Pennsylvania cannot change the rules in the
00:28:03.860
middle of the game. If Pennsylvania wants to change how voting occurs, the state must follow
00:28:09.280
the law to do so. This illegality was then compounded by a partisan Democrat Supreme Court
00:28:14.660
in Pennsylvania, which has issued multiple decisions that reflect their political and
00:28:18.060
ideological biases. Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch wrote correctly concerning the Pennsylvania court
00:28:24.040
this previous decision to count ballots received after election day that quote, there is a strong
00:28:28.600
likelihood that the state Supreme Court decision violates the federal constitution. This is a
00:28:33.740
very serious legal challenge to the results in Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court absolutely
00:28:38.140
should hear that out. There is absolutely no reason to concede the presidential election
00:28:43.900
before that is heard. Now you might say, even if Trump wins Pennsylvania, it's not enough
00:28:48.380
to push him over the top. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. The Trump campaign is pursuing other
00:28:54.040
challenges in other states, but I don't even care. I don't care if Joe Biden has every single
00:29:03.000
electoral vote in the country except for Pennsylvania. I want the Supreme Court to hear
00:29:06.820
that case because the Pennsylvania election officials violated the law very, very clearly,
00:29:13.280
maybe in multiple cases, but certainly in that case because of in-person voting. Absolutely. It
00:29:17.780
should be heard out. Conservatives need to grow a spine. I'm glad that Ted Cruz has one and I hope
00:29:23.440
that the court takes that up. There are a lot of people, especially in the legacy media, a lot of
00:29:29.060
people are going squishy. That's why we need to replace the legacy media. If you are not a Daily
00:29:33.780

00:30:49.420
Ellen Page slash Elliot Page situation. And you'll remember that Ben famously, when he coined his
00:30:56.580
phrase, facts don't care about your feelings, it was because he was challenging gender ideology
00:30:59.960
to a very unladylike individual, transgender individual on television who then grabbed Ben
00:31:07.180
by the neck and said, if you don't cut that out, talking about genetics, I'm going to send you home
00:31:12.760
in an ambulance. So I'm sure Ben will have an interesting perspective on that. You can check
00:31:15.880
that out. We'll be right back with a lot more. So the Pennsylvania legal challenge, totally legit.
00:31:33.220
There is no question there whether or not the Trump campaign has the goods. You know, it's, it's,
00:31:38.500
no one could argue that Pennsylvania did not violate the Pennsylvania constitution. Other places,
00:31:45.000
it's less clear. There have been hearings in Arizona. There have been hearings all over the
00:31:50.500
country. There was a hearing in Michigan at which this issue of dominion and the software and the
00:31:57.180
voting machines has come up. There have been some fanciful theories about what happened in the voting
00:32:02.040
machines. I don't trust electronic voting generally, but we haven't gotten specifics yet. We haven't seen
00:32:08.340
the Trump legal team prove that there was not, not just that there could have been fraud, but that there
00:32:14.060
was fraud. Now we have in Michigan, the Trump team brought out a contractor for dominion for the
00:32:20.840
software that was used in the voting machines who insists that there was fraud. My name is Melissa
00:32:26.980
Caron. I am a resident of Wayne County. I have a background in it and cybersecurity. I was contracted
00:32:33.820
by PDS staffing to work with dominion voting systems, assisting with it at the TCF center.
00:32:40.180
What I witnessed at the TCF center was complete fraud. The whole 27 hours I was there, there was
00:32:48.460
batches of ballots being ran through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted eight to 10
00:32:56.320
times. Also, the adjudication process, I witnessed numerous people walking up claiming they were both
00:33:04.580
Democrats saying they were sitting together judging ballots all night together, all day together. I
00:33:10.580
witnessed it all. I was on the main stage with all of the city officials. Daniel Baxter was in on the
00:33:17.300
whole thing. And I am under the impression 100% that at least 90% of those workers were all in on this. There
00:33:25.600
was not a single ballot the whole night, the whole 27 hours I was there that I saw that was for Donald
00:33:32.740
Trump. Not one, not a single ballot. That is, that is scary. There was something going on at that
00:33:41.060
department of elections. All right. So the first allegation she's making is pretty serious and it's
00:33:49.160
pretty specific that they were just running ballots through the machine multiple times so that one person's
00:33:53.380
vote, a Democratic vote would be counted multiple times, which of course is disenfranchising
00:33:57.840
Republicans. It's disenfranchising everybody actually, because, you know, the, the, every
00:34:03.740
illegal vote takes away a vote from, from an eligible voter. Okay. So that's a specific one. Can they
00:34:09.180
prove it? You know, they've got this woman's eyewitness testimony that is not, it's probably not
00:34:15.300
sufficient to overthrow an election, but you know, it's pretty significant. It's pretty specific.
00:34:20.440
Then there's another charge, which is that something was going on and no votes came in for Trump and all
00:34:28.100
the votes were for Biden. This, I have no reason not to believe it's true. This sort of thing does
00:34:34.000
go on. We don't know if it went on. Well, we don't know if it went on at all. And if it did, we don't
00:34:39.840
know that it would have gone on to the degree that it could sway thousands or tens of thousands of
00:34:45.640
votes or presidential election because it happened in multiple states. But I'm not saying it didn't
00:34:50.820
happen. I'm not saying it did happen. The only issue for the Trump legal team though, is that
00:34:55.760
this charge, the second charge more or less amounts to something's going on. I'm telling you,
00:35:01.780
something's up. Something's fishy. Yeah, I know. You don't say, obviously something's fishy. Obviously
00:35:06.760
there were tons of irregularities. I don't mean to be angry with this woman. She's, it's good that
00:35:12.680
she's coming forward and testifying. That argument is not going to be sufficient. I wish it were
00:35:17.840
sufficient, but it won't be. No court is going to hear that argument. Frankly, I don't think any
00:35:22.060
legislature is going to hear that argument and say, okay, now we're going to decertify a vote.
00:35:25.300
Now we're going to overturn the election. That is not going to work. And that's unfortunate. I wish it
00:35:33.520
did, but you know, there is fraud that goes on in every election. And unless you can really drill down
00:35:39.200
and prove that it was widespread and you can show where it happened, then probably it's not going
00:35:44.280
to hold up in court. Another guy over here in Michigan, another guy who was a poll watcher,
00:35:49.760
gets to another aspect of these irregularities that seem to have taken place in a lot of places,
00:35:54.120
namely that Republicans were not admitted to watch the poll count. Take a listen.
00:35:59.200
I am an unaffiliated Michigan voter who was trained by the GOP to be a poll challenger on Wednesday,
00:36:04.820
November 4th, beginning in the late morning until around 8 PM, because I was told that they
00:36:08.900
needed help. They were understaffed. I witnessed the room erupt in thunderous applause and derogatory
00:36:14.200
cheering as Republican poll workers were picked off one by one and ejected from the room repeatedly
00:36:19.640
by police escort throughout the day. By the end of the day, they had picked off so many GOP poll
00:36:24.360
workers that there were probably only a few dozen left to monitor all of the processing stations in
00:36:28.660
the room, which I'm told was between 1.30 and 1.60. So this is very specific, right? He's saying,
00:36:34.780
yeah, these Republicans were kicked out. A very small number were allowed to remain.
00:36:40.180
So whenever you see the PolitiFact fact check, there was a Republican poll watcher somewhere.
00:36:44.460
Okay, where were all the rest of them? And by the way, if that poll watcher had to stand
00:36:47.620
even six feet away, but certainly 25 feet away, as we've heard in some cases,
00:36:51.520
then the poll watcher is not going to do very much. I couldn't see what's on a ballot six feet away.
00:36:55.960
I could barely see what's on a ballot six inches away.
00:36:57.600
Okay. So that challenge, very specific, means that votes were counted illegally. We know that
00:37:04.400
this happened. We know it happened in Georgia. We know, for instance, in Georgia, we were told
00:37:09.700
they had to shut down the vote counting in certain places at 10.30 at night. And then the poll watchers
00:37:15.080
went home. And then secretly vote counting went on until 1.30 in the morning. We know that they made
00:37:19.220
up a story about how a pipe burst. And that is why the poll watchers had to go home and we had to
00:37:26.340
stop counting the vote. BS. Not, not true. No evidence that that's true. A lot of evidence
00:37:32.420
to the contrary. So those are, that's where the challenges are. But here's the problem.
00:37:40.180
Well, I think most of those kinds of testimonies are legitimate and they point to something that is
00:37:47.080
legitimate. But is it going to move the needle? Bill Barr, the attorney general says, quote,
00:37:53.940
to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the
00:37:59.760
election. There has been one assertion that that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim
00:38:05.700
that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked
00:38:11.600
into that. And so far, we haven't seen anything to substantiate that. I have no doubt that these
00:38:20.500
machines could have been open to that hacking. I have no doubt that the Democrats would cheat to do
00:38:27.320
it and, and have cheated in certain places, not through the voting machines, but through other
00:38:34.800
means. But the problem for the Trump legal team, as time dwindles, we're less than two weeks out,
00:38:39.720
what are we, we're 12 days out from the electoral college vote, is you've got to prove that it did
00:38:46.500
happen? I don't blame Bill Barr for saying he hasn't found evidence of fraud. I'm sure he's
00:38:50.780
looking for evidence of fraud. I think he's a straight shooter. I don't know. I only met the
00:38:53.780
guy once, but he seems like a straight shooter to me. And his career, I think, backs that up.
00:38:58.840
And they haven't shown it. I'm waiting. Sidney Powell hasn't shown it. Maybe she's showing it in
00:39:06.240
court. I hope so. I'm just saying the time, the time is running out. I, by the way, I don't think
00:39:11.860
that that is the fact that we haven't seen this hard evidence to a degree that would sway a judge
00:39:17.320
to overturn an election. I don't think that's a reason for us to suddenly trust the election
00:39:22.820
officials or even to trust the election result. We'll have to trust the election result, depending
00:39:28.360
on how the electoral college votes, because that's actually the way that our constitution sets up the
00:39:32.380
election of presidents. But in terms of the people voting at the polling stations, yeah, I don't,
00:39:36.600
I think we should be skeptical of that sort of thing. And I don't think that's conspiratorial.
00:39:41.860
I don't think that's kooky or you're wearing a tinfoil hat. Of course, we should be skeptical.
00:39:46.240
And by the way, the left gets to be skeptical. How come the left gets to be skeptical
00:39:50.260
with, with far less evidence, far, far less grounds for their skepticism of the government
00:39:57.120
than we are? You saw this just a couple nights ago on MSNBC. Joy Reid, one of my favorite people
00:40:03.060
on MSNBC, my doppelganger is my first favorite, but Joy Reid is my second because she is really kooky.
00:40:09.820
Joy Reid comes out and is just talking to a guest about how they're a little distrustful
00:40:19.960
You were part of the Moderna trial, and it looks like Moderna might be the one that has the highest
00:40:24.220
success rate so far. But number one, I worry that it will, that just hearing that a vaccine
00:40:28.840
is coming will make people even more lax. They'll say, you know what, I'm gonna do what I want
00:40:32.680
because the vaccine is coming. That's one piece. And then the other piece is when it comes,
00:40:36.300
particularly in our community, Black people, they might be like, I don't trust science. I mean,
00:40:41.380
we've, you know, Tuskegee experiments, et cetera. There's just not a lot of trust. And it
00:40:44.720
was developed during the Trump era. I'm worried about both. Are you worried about those two things?
00:40:50.100
Yes, I'm very concerned about that. I've been talking about this in community,
00:40:54.100
and I've been very clear to say too often science has been a tool of white supremacy.
00:40:59.220
And what do I mean by that? Too often we can look at a sordid historical legacy of medical
00:41:05.060
experimentation, medical exploitation that Blacks and Browns have suffered, whether it's Tuskegee,
00:41:10.540
whether it's Henrietta Lacks, whether it's Mississippi appendectomies or enslaved Black women being
00:41:17.640
I can't believe I'm saying this about a Joy Reid program on MSNBC. I think they're basically right.
00:41:28.940
They're not right in the specifics. I mean, they think that Trump is, I don't know,
00:41:33.240
going to give everyone a poison vaccine. That's crazy. They think that white supremacy is this
00:41:37.760
major, major problem in America. That's obviously crazy. But the point that they're making,
00:41:43.700
that we should be skeptical of the government and that science is often used as a tool for
00:41:52.480
nefarious political ends, that is completely right. And actually, when they're, they use the
00:41:58.680
phrase white supremacy, white supremacy on the left just means bad. You know, it's just a byword for
00:42:03.340
bad or evil. And that's true. That's true. Science is a quasi-religious term that is now invoked
00:42:12.380
by the left. Science, what it really means comes from the Latin verb shire, means knowledge,
00:42:17.060
to know. And then throughout most of the history of the West, it encompassed all of knowledge and how
00:42:23.120
we acquire knowledge. Then for the past, I don't know, 300 years or so, it's taken on this more
00:42:27.220
narrow sense of material inquiry. So I can't, I can't pursue the science of theology, for instance.
00:42:34.160
That's considered not a real science. But I can pursue the science of what this leftist
00:42:38.600
year's Tumblr is made of. Obviously, it's made of just the highest grade materials on the planet.
00:42:44.160
And now, in the last few decades, maybe the last century even, really since the left developed
00:42:52.100
their theories of the science of history and the science of politics, goes back to Marx,
00:42:56.980
goes back to Hegel, science has taken on this highly politicized definition, whereby if you know
00:43:04.540
the science of history, you know the right side of history, you know the arc of history bends toward
00:43:08.440
justice, you know where we're going, you know what progress means, you know that utopia we're
00:43:11.980
going to land at. And therefore, there should be no public debate. Therefore, we should just follow
00:43:16.940
science. And once we know that, you know, Andrew Cuomo in New York, the worst governor when it comes to
00:43:24.280
the coronavirus epidemic, his policies directly led to the deaths of thousands of New Yorkers,
00:43:30.040
violated his own policies. New York has been affected worse than just about any other state.
00:43:34.900
But he says, believe science. And the left, they agree with it. They say, yes,
00:43:39.280
believe science. They don't ever worry about the double standard. What's science? What does he
00:43:44.800
mean by science? When we say, believe Dr. Fauci, Dr. Fauci is a politician. He's a politician who's
00:43:50.420
also a social scientist of epidemiology, which is a social science, right? It's a science that is as
00:43:55.540
much about people and the way that people behave and interact as it is about viruses. His public health,
00:44:02.360
public health means political health. Public and political are synonymous.
00:44:07.120
And politics will use the facade, the guise of science to their nefarious ends. Joy Reid and her
00:44:14.760
guest, whoever that was, totally right about that. I just wish that conservatives were permitted to
00:44:20.840
make that point as well. Because no one's going to call Joy Reid a science denier. They are explicitly
00:44:26.240
saying science is a tool of politics and we shouldn't believe it. They are denying science,
00:44:31.340
right? And no one's going to call them that. I just wish we could all be held to the same standard
00:44:36.160
there. Before we go, I have to get to one very, very sad aspect of the collapse of our standards.
00:44:41.740
This is the saddest article I've read in many weeks, if not months. I believe it's from New York
00:44:48.720
Magazine. There's a letter to the advice columnist. Can I still charge my boyfriend rent once we're
00:44:57.040
married? Dear Charlotte, my fiance and I live together. I own the house. It's paid off and he
00:45:05.120
pays me $500 a month. Pretty good deal. Can I move in? The bills for the house are very low and
00:45:12.220
they come out to about $300 a month. So essentially he's paying $200 in rent. Oh, because I guess she's
00:45:17.020
paying the bills too. He thinks that once we get married, he shouldn't have to pay rent anymore and
00:45:22.920
that we should split the bills evenly. He's also stressed because he has accrued some debt, about
00:45:27.900
15 grand since we've been together. Wow, since we've been together, which is partly why he thinks he
00:45:32.520
should pay less. This frustrates me because I worked so hard to pay off my house early and I
00:45:36.540
feel like he's taking advantage of that. He has made less money than me the entire seven years we've
00:45:40.940
been together and it's been a constant issue in our relationship. I think that the man should
00:45:45.500
contribute a bit more than the woman. Yeah, you think? I'd love to split everything and own a house
00:45:51.440
together, but he's nowhere near being able to do that. What's the fair option once you're married?
00:45:57.320
Before we get to what happens once you're married, I don't know if she watches this show. I hope she does.
00:46:03.260
Before we get to your marriage, run. Run. I know that you own that house. There should be a U-shaped
00:46:09.480
hole in the wall because you're running so fast. You don't even go to the door. Run. This guy is a
00:46:15.000
loser. This guy is worse than a loser. He has no standards at all. He probably talks to women like
00:46:24.380
Steve Schmidt does. He's not a man. He's not behaving like a man. Should you, should you still
00:46:32.720
be able to charge your fiance rent? Should you charge your husband rent? No, because when you're
00:46:37.860
married, you're going to be one flesh. You are going to be one unit. There is no his money and
00:46:44.340
there is no your money. I know that some people keep finances separate. They sort of pretend that
00:46:49.060
that's not real. That's fake. That's imaginary. When you're married, it's all the same stuff.
00:46:55.360
And so you're taking on all of this guy's failures and all of this guy's vices
00:47:03.340
and all of this guy's childish behavior. You won't be marrying a husband. You're going to be
00:47:09.960
marrying a child who runs up all this debt while you're paying off your debt, who doesn't understand
00:47:16.220
that he's supposed to be the head of his household. He shouldn't be paying rent to you. He should be
00:47:22.120
paying the rent. He should be paying the mortgage. It should be his house. He should have a house.
00:47:26.860
He shouldn't not have a house and you should have a house. You shouldn't be working hard and he's not
00:47:31.040
working. You wouldn't be marrying a man. Now in the modern culture, look, people once understood
00:47:37.960
this, not that long ago. In the modern culture though, even many conservatives would say, oh,
00:47:42.820
well, you know, look, he'll just, let's throw up your hand. Look, you're all people. It's not that
00:47:46.920
he's a man, you're a woman, he's a husband, you're a wife. It's look, you're all people.
00:47:49.980
You should split everything evenly. You should all do the exact same amount of housework. You should
00:47:54.740
pay the bills in equal shares. You should both go to work in exactly the same way at exactly the
00:47:59.720
same type of company. No, no, that's not it. Men and women are different. I know that Ellen Page
00:48:08.220
would, or Elliot, Elliot Page now would dispute that, but they're different. Doesn't mean he's
00:48:14.580
got to like chain you to the kitchen and have you cooking all day. And it doesn't mean that he's got
00:48:18.620
to be working 16 hours, you know, at the office, you know, in the, in the kind of furthest caricatures
00:48:24.780
of what it is to be a husband and a wife. But husbands and wives are different. And if you're
00:48:30.880
going to, you're, you're not even going to be marrying a wife. At least wives provide quite a
00:48:36.500
lot. This guy's not doing that at all. You'd be marrying a child and someone who has no sense of
00:48:41.880
standards at all. When you're a child, sometimes you don't have standards if you're not raised right,
00:48:45.740
because you have to be educated into them. You have to learn how to behave. You have to learn what
00:48:49.320
those standards are. Now we've got a whole nation of these children. They don't know if they're men.
00:48:53.480
They don't know if they're women. They don't know what's up, what's down. That's no way to go on.
00:48:57.840
If we want to fix that, we can't just keep throwing our hands up in the air. We have to offer
00:49:02.120
a political vision. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.

You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are
00:50:05.440
enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it
00:50:10.480
drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental.
00:50:17.620
And that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
