We just need 15 days to slow the spread. Okay. We slowed the spread. We just need
00:00:07.640
to flatten the curve. Okay. We flatten the curve. We just hold, just one more thing. We just need
00:00:15.300
to find a cure. Oh, we found a cure. Okay. Well, we, Hey, we, come on, man. We just need
00:00:21.880
100 more days. Okay. Oh, we're going to give them a hundred more days. Actually. Ha ha.
00:00:29.280
Indefinite lockdown. What we're also trying to do is make our health and medical experts available
00:00:34.080
to ensure people understand. And I'll reiterate it here today. It's not just a vaccine is obviously
00:00:39.560
an incredible medical breakthrough. Um, and we want every American to have one, but even after
00:00:44.360
vaccinated, uh, social distancing, wearing masks are going to be essential. And we'll, we'll need
00:00:50.100
to continue communicating about that through health and medical experts. You thought we were
00:00:54.480
going back to normal. You believe that 15 days, slow the spread, flatten that. You believe
00:00:59.380
that you sucker. It was all a big lie. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles show.
00:01:04.920
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Justin Croteur, who says,
00:01:19.100
quoting Joe Biden here, I'm not creating new laws. I'm fixing bad policies. He says, I'm not stealing.
00:01:27.120
I'm reallocating misused funds. Yes, that's very true. It's amazing how synonyms can sound
00:01:34.340
so very different when you put them through political correctness. They all sort of change,
00:01:39.380
but the meaning remains exactly the same. And, uh, political correctness, obviously being pushed,
00:01:46.140
not just by these politicians, but by everybody, by the schools, by the media, by big tech in particular,
00:01:52.400
that's why you got to check out ExpressVPN. You do not need to give big tech websites access to your
00:01:58.180
data. Why would you, why would you want, because you love the big tech website so much? I don't think
00:02:02.420
so. I strongly recommend you check out ExpressVPN. When you use ExpressVPN, you anonymize much of your
00:02:09.920
online presence by hiding your IP address. That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell
00:02:15.180
to advertisers. What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from eavesdroppers on
00:02:21.780
your network. And the ExpressVPN app could not be easier to use. You just tap one button on your
00:02:27.300
phone or your computer. You are protected. If you are listening to this show, there's good chance that
00:02:33.500
you check out some pretty unsavory things on the internet. You open up that incognito window. Maybe
00:02:38.860
you close the blinds. You go to dailywire.com. I don't know. I'm just spitballing here. Make sure you
00:02:44.840
protect your online privacy with the VPN that I strongly recommend, expressvpn.com slash Michael.

protect your data today. You do not want people who don't like you seeing all of your data. Go get
00:03:12.200
expressvpn.com. I feel like this has been a very Jen Psaki heavy week. I think that's because Joe
00:03:21.460
Biden, unlike Donald Trump, is not really talking to the press. Remember, Trump would have these
00:03:26.580
impromptu press conferences. He'd be walking to his motorcade. He'd be walking to a helicopter and
00:03:31.800
he'd just stand there and just start chatting with the press. Joe Biden is not doing that because Joe
00:03:35.900
Biden can't do that. And so he sends poor Jen Psaki out to have to answer these questions and push his
00:03:40.960
administration's policies. Now, a lot of the time, as we've mentioned on this show, Psaki seems
00:03:46.900
unprepared. She just doesn't have answers for the things that she should have answers for. That's
00:03:51.220
why she's got to circle back. But sometimes her poor performance is not because she doesn't know
00:03:58.920
what she's doing. It's because she, she can't give the, the real answer because if she gives the real
00:04:05.680
answer, it will not be particularly palatable to the American people. Good example of this
00:04:10.100
is on the CDC. The CDC has said, reopen the schools, right? Jen Psaki is asked a question by
00:04:18.580
the press. She gets one real press question a day. All the rest are, how come Joe Biden is so handsome
00:04:23.160
and beautiful? But she gets one or two real, real press questions. One of which is, hey, the CDC says we
00:04:28.540
can reopen. Why aren't we reopening the schools? Here is her non-answer. I saw the comments of
00:04:35.740
Dr. Walensky, but I will say that even she would say, if she were standing here, she's welcome to
00:04:41.280
come anytime, but she's in Atlanta, that they have not released their official guidance yet from the
00:04:46.860
CDC on the vaccination of teachers and what would be needed to ensure the safe reopening of schools.
00:04:52.880
And so we'd certainly defer to that, which we hope to see soon. The president himself has talked about
00:04:59.600
the importance and the priority of vaccinating teachers. And in most states, they're in the 1B
00:05:05.140
category of vaccination. And, but it is up to states to determine prioritization. Obviously there's
00:05:12.060
federal guidelines, but, and we work closely with governors, but we leave it to them, but certainly
00:05:16.500
ensuring teachers are vaccinated, prioritizing teachers is, is important to the president.
00:05:23.540
Okay. I, I don't know if you followed all that gobbledygook that was meandering and all over
00:05:27.840
the place, but the gist of it was, and remember Joe Biden's administration, they're going to follow
00:05:34.100
the science. They're going to put science first, a lot of executive orders to this effect. The gist of
00:05:38.920
that was we need to vaccinate teachers and the states are going to run things, but the federal
00:05:44.820
government has a role and we need to vaccinate teachers. That is very important for when we reopen.
00:05:50.920
And since Joe Biden's administration is following the science, that's got to be what the science
00:05:55.080
says, right? Because the CDC, they haven't issued any sort of guidance yet. Do you think that's right,
00:06:00.580
CDC director? I want to be very clear about schools, which is yes. ACIP has put teachers in the 1B
00:06:08.220
category, the category of essential workers. But I also want to be clear that there is increasing
00:06:14.340
data to suggest that schools can safely reopen and that that safe reopening does not suggest that
00:06:22.000
teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely.
00:06:27.000
The teachers do not need to be vaccinated to reopen safely. The schools can reopen.
00:06:32.560
That's what the data show. And Joe Biden, who says that data and science are going to guide his
00:06:38.000
administration would appear to be denying the science here. And poor Jen Psaki has got to go out
00:06:42.920
there and sputter in front of the press because she knows she's in this tight position. They've
00:06:49.240
backed themselves into a corner where they say, we're going to let the technocrats and the lab
00:06:52.420
coats run our entire government. The press says, okay, the lab coats say that you get to reopen the
00:06:56.520
schools, but Joe Biden is beholden to the teacher unions, right? Teacher unions, the unions generally
00:07:02.420
are important to Biden. Uh, and, and Trump did a lot to chip away at Democrats union support,
00:07:07.720
but surely the teacher unions are a very important one. So Joe Biden forgetting, forgetting about the
00:07:12.880
science for a moment, prioritizing the political demands of these teacher unions. This would not
00:07:17.960
be an example of Jen Psaki being bad at her job. This is actually an example of her being good at her
00:07:21.640
job, but it shows the tough position that the Biden administration has put her in. Speaking of lies
00:07:26.700
and a compliant press, they've outdone themselves. They have absolutely the press and big technology
00:07:35.400
and the democratic establishment have outdone themselves on lies in the past day. And actually
00:07:42.220
the daily wire has played a role in this. So, so actually I guess this show sort of played a role
00:07:47.080
in this because we, we talked about yesterday, how after AOC recalled the harrowing experience of how she
00:07:53.340
was almost murdered during the Capitol riot and how Cruz was going to murder her. And she was,
00:07:59.480
she, it was having PTSD and trauma. It turns out she wasn't even in the Capitol building during the
00:08:03.840
riot. Just a complete stone cold sociopath liar didn't happen at all. So the daily wire tweets out
00:08:13.040
this headline quote, this was a headline on our, on our website report. AOC was not inside Capitol
00:08:20.740
building during breach. During breach on January 6th. Snopes, a fact checking website, just a left
00:08:30.040
wing opinion website, but they call it a fact checking website. Snopes rated this headline mostly
00:08:36.280
false. Now when Snopes rates headlines, they'll say maybe it's true or it's false or it's mostly true.
00:08:42.940
It's mostly false. They will say, here's what's true and here's what's false. So the original headline
00:08:48.380
was report AOC was not inside Capitol building during breach on January 6th. Snopes, here's what's
00:08:55.380
true. Wait for it. Ocasio-Cortez wasn't in the main Capitol building where the House and Senate
00:09:02.660
chambers are located. Okay. What? That sounds like that was just the whole headline. AOC was not inside
00:09:11.780
the Capitol building during the breach. What's true? AOC wasn't in the main Capitol building where the,
00:09:17.780
where the House and Senate are. Okay. What's false? When the attack on the Capitol began,
00:09:24.240
Ocasio-Cortez was in her congressional office, which is located in a network of office buildings
00:09:29.280
immediately surrounding the Capitol. And her office building was one of the two buildings that were
00:09:34.340
evacuated. Our headline didn't say anything about that. Our headline didn't mention that. Our tweet
00:09:39.640
didn't mention that. What, what we said was AOC was not in the Capitol building. Then what they
00:09:46.300
admitted was true is AOC was not in the Capitol building. But then what they said was false was
00:09:52.320
that we, we didn't mention that AOC was in an office building down the street. Well, yeah,
00:09:59.420
she could have been in any building down any street. She just wasn't in the main building that
00:10:04.220
this was, we were all talking about. I don't know. I guess there's no way really to appeal this sort
00:10:10.440
of thing. And what do I care? I don't, I don't have any respect for Snopes nor do any Republicans
00:10:14.460
that I know or any conservatives. But the problem is that big technology companies team up with
00:10:19.500
companies like Snopes to determine whether or not your social media accounts are going to be
00:10:25.720
deplatformed, whether they're going to be suppressed, whether they're spreading fake news,
00:10:29.080
whether they'll be suspended. I mean, Snopes is just outright lying, right? They absolutely should
00:10:35.460
just delete the whole article and fire whoever wrote it, but they're not going to do that because
00:10:38.980
they're not a fact-checking website. They're a left-wing activist group. And that's why the
00:10:43.080
left-wing activists at big tech companies are teaming up with them because they can provide the
00:10:47.840
facade of fairness, right? They say, well, we're just talking to the independent fact-checkers.
00:10:51.940
We're just talking to the experts, the lab coats. We're just following the science.
00:10:55.540
But then of course, when objective reality runs up against one's political convenience,
00:11:02.580
guess what's going to win out? You, you heard Jen Psaki, you heard the Biden administration.
00:11:07.620
Forget about that science when it runs up against our politics. Snopes, forget about objective reality
00:11:12.640
when it runs up against our politics. You want to hear the kicker. Oh my gosh. We have heard now
00:11:20.320
for two months, no voter fraud in 2020, no election questions. If you dare question the election,
00:11:28.480
you're an insurrectionist. You're a traitor, murderer, rapist. You need to be deplatformed.
00:11:33.860
You need to be kicked off of the air. You need to be kicked out of polite society.
00:11:38.540
So there's a hotly contested congressional race in New York right now. This is in New York's 22nd.
00:11:43.960
It's a race between Anthony Brindisi and Claudia Tenney, who I actually happen to know from New York
00:11:48.740
politics. So Claudia Tenney had the seat, then Brindisi wins it. Now it looks like Tenney's
00:11:53.880
going to win it again because Brindisi, the Democrat, is just behind. The Democrats are
00:11:59.540
alleging voter fraud. Specifically, they're alleging that the voting machines are throwing
00:12:06.420
the election to the Republican and demanding a recount. These candidates are separated by 122 ballots.
00:12:14.040
And the Democrats, while they are saying that any questioning of voter integrity, and in particular,
00:12:21.760
any questions of voting machines, you're going to have billion dollar lawsuits over voting machine
00:12:27.100
fraud claims. Well, while they're saying that those are completely illegitimate and you basically need
00:12:32.180
to be banished to a faraway island if you bring them up, they're making the same claims themselves
00:12:37.620
because they always do this sort of thing. And it just reminds me of these squishy Republicans
00:12:43.840
who follow the Democrats line here where they say, oh no, we have to agree with the Democrats. We have
00:12:49.280
to, we can't, we can't bring up the question of fraud. That's wrong. We can't do that. We got to play
00:12:54.980
by the rules here. Democrats don't believe that. They're, they're making the same claims when it suits
00:13:00.360
their purposes. Gotta, I, I got these guys a number, you know, you gotta, you gotta know their
00:13:07.520

00:14:24.360
get it. They think that Democrats are being on the level when they are opposing these claims of voter
00:14:31.120
fraud, right? When we're, when we're talking about voter fraud in the 2020 election, some people are
00:14:37.540
making these very, very extreme claims. Some might say outlandish claims about mass fraud in the machines
00:14:44.760
and the CIA is involved and it's in Germany and it's, who knows, there's space aliens involved,
00:14:51.180
right? You, there are, there are extreme claims, but then there are the claims that are right before
00:14:56.540
our very eyes, which are undeniable. Namely, Democratic election officials in Pennsylvania
00:15:03.040
broke the law. They violated the state constitution, which clearly prohibits widespread mail-in ballots.
00:15:09.440
How about the election poll watchers who were sent home illegitimately? Republican watchers sent home
00:15:15.680
in Philadelphia. How about those videos we saw of, of, uh, election officials putting cardboard in the
00:15:23.040
windows so that people who were outside couldn't see what was going on in the counts. How about the,
00:15:28.280
the water main break, right? The pipe leaking that sent home the election officials in certain counties.
00:15:32.960
All these little things, far more tangible. You can point to them.
00:15:38.940
Meanwhile, Democrats are making more outlandish claims about voter fraud just in New York's 22nd congressional race.
00:15:48.160
And there are two kinds of Republicans. They're the Republicans who recognize that the Democrats are being
00:15:52.920
cynical and who are, and they're being cheap and that we should be skeptical of their efforts to take away
00:15:58.500
election integrity measures. Those are the good, tough, serious, conservative Republicans.
00:16:03.460
Republicans. And then there are the squishes. There are the squishy Republicans. And I'm afraid to say
00:16:10.340
Senator Ben Sasse, who has done some good things. I like, I like actually many of the things he's done,
00:16:15.660
but he falls into the latter category. He seems to prefer to scold Republicans than to deal seriously
00:16:24.260
with these things. Ben Sasse, uh, just released a video because he's being censured by the Nebraska GOP.
00:16:32.260
He's being censured because they think he's gone squishy because in many cases he has gone squishy
00:16:38.520
on policy. You know, generally speaking, he's been pretty good, but when it comes to these tough
00:16:43.920
political fights, he's gone weak. And the Nebraska GOP is threatening to censure him again. Ben Sasse
00:16:49.960
releases a defiant video pushing back against the censure. Guys, I want to talk to the state central
00:16:56.440
committee. I've heard from many of you in the days since the attack on the Capitol, threatening another
00:17:01.760
censure for what I said about the president's lies after the election. As a friend and fellow
00:17:07.200
Republican, I want to shoot straight. I'm not going to spend any time trying to talk you out of
00:17:11.560
another censure. I listen to Nebraskans every day, and very few of them are as angry about life as some
00:17:18.120
of the people on this committee. Not all of you, but a lot. Political addicts don't represent most
00:17:24.320
Nebraska conservatives. When Melissa and I first ran back in 14. Pause it there. Pause it there. This
00:17:30.220
is the first sign that something is a little off here. When Melissa and I first ran. Who's Melissa?
00:17:40.640
I don't know who Melissa is, so I Google Melissa. Ben Sasse. Melissa is his wife. Melissa did not run
00:17:46.660
for office. Melissa is not elected to any seat. This is something I've heard a lot of politicians do
00:17:52.160
this, or I've heard a lot of good politicians do this too, but it always grates on me. Because
00:17:58.420
politicians, if they want to be kind of disingenuous, they'll, they'll pretend that it's not just them
00:18:02.800
running for office. This isn't about me. This is about us. This is about when my family and I ran,
00:18:08.700
when we all, no, I don't, I don't know. I don't know who the family is. I didn't, I'm not voting for the
00:18:12.280
family. I'm voting for you. You're right. There's a job and there's only one spot and you're the guy
00:18:18.380
who's running for it. So already to me, this is not, you know, a total, totally worth writing the
00:18:25.520
guy off, but already I'm hearing this kind of slick, disingenuous political language. So I'm
00:18:31.380
already, I don't know if I like this. The other thing he says here is, look, the people who are
00:18:38.480
obsessed with politics, they don't represent most of Nebraska. Sure. Fair enough. I guess most people,
00:18:45.360
right, we elect our representatives so that they can go be obsessed with politics instead of us.
00:18:50.300
But we want you to be obsessed with politics. Your job is to be obsessed with politics. When I hear
00:18:55.360
something like that, when I hear a politician making fun of people who are obsessed with politics,
00:19:01.100
I think, oh, this guy doesn't like political fights. This guy's not in it for the fight. He wants to
00:19:05.640
be nice. He wants to be liked. But when the, when push comes to shove on the really, really tough
00:19:10.100
fights, this guy doesn't sound like he's very interested. He goes on. Many of the same party
00:19:17.940
officials who applauded in 14 cussed me out in 16 when I refused to vote for candidate Trump.
00:19:24.120
And again, when I declined to serve on his reelection committee in 19. And again, when I didn't vote for
00:19:29.820
him in 20. Now, many of you are hacked off that I condemned his lies that led to a riot.
00:19:37.200
Okay, here we go. Here we go. Did Trump lie? I don't know. Let's debate that question another day.
00:19:46.320
I don't, we don't have time to deal with that. Right. Did he lie? Did he exaggerate? Was he,
00:19:50.500
did he have some evidence of fraud? Was he confusing certain things? Was he conflating? I don't know,
00:19:54.460
whatever. Whatever he said, let's go, let's go with Ben Sasse and say it's a downright lie.
00:20:00.360
Did it lead to a riot? Did Trump incite the riot? Well, he said, be peaceful. Don't,
00:20:05.880
don't be violent, right? He said that before, during, and after. So to me, this, this seems dishonest.
00:20:12.520
And then we remember Ben Sasse was a ardent, never Trumper. So he's an elected Republican,
00:20:18.240
but he didn't vote for the Republican nominee in 2016. He didn't vote for the Republican nominee,
00:20:22.340
even in 2020. Now I'm really skeptical of the guy because even people who were
00:20:26.700
questioning Trump in 2016, they thought maybe he was going to be like a liberal Democrat or
00:20:31.580
something like that. I kind of get it. I understand why, because he had been a sort of a Democrat for
00:20:35.760
a lot of his life. But by 2020, you got to vote for the guy. He was a, he was an excellent,
00:20:40.240
excellent president. You got to vote for the guy in 2020 if you're a Republican. So now I'm really
00:20:44.000
skeptical. And then Ben Sasse sort of seals the deal. Personality cults aren't conservative.
00:20:52.800
Conspiracy theories aren't conservative. Lying that an election has been stolen,
00:20:58.200
it's not conservative. Acting like politics is a religion, it isn't conservative. I still believe
00:21:04.900
every word from the campaign trail. What makes America great isn't power politics. It's what
00:21:10.960
happens in the communities where you and I are raising our kids. What makes America great isn't
00:21:17.580
power politics. But what makes politicians great is being willing to exercise power.
00:21:23.440
What are you talking about? Of course, yeah, of course this guy doesn't like power politics.
00:21:29.320
He's explained it. When push came to shove, when it was a little bit of a tough election,
00:21:33.480
he didn't want to vote for the Republican nominee. Even after the guy proved himself to be a good
00:21:37.780
Republican president, didn't want to vote for the guy. He keeps coming back to this,
00:21:41.820
this motif. I don't, I don't like politics. I don't want to play politics. I don't want to get
00:21:46.820
into tough power politics. Well, the opposite of power politics is weak politics, impotent politics.
00:21:53.120
It's too bad. I think Ben Sasse holds many views that are pretty conservative that I would agree with.
00:21:59.860
I like that. He's highly educated. I like that. But he keeps openly saying he doesn't want the fight.
00:22:11.500
He doesn't want to be involved in the nitty gritty fights. He doesn't like it. He doesn't think that's
00:22:15.920
what makes America great. Democrats don't act like that. You ever notice that Democrats, when they have
00:22:21.760
some kooky congressmen, and by the way, they have the kookiest congressmen ever in the history of this
00:22:26.460
country, many of whom are serving right now, they don't wring their hands and gnash their teeth and
00:22:34.040
rend their garments and wail. They don't. They don't say hem and haw, oh gosh, what do we do? We
00:22:39.620
can't, we have to cast this person. They just, they just kind of ignore it. And actually, in some cases,
00:22:44.320
they promote these people to high positions. And they don't complain and say, I hate power politics.
00:22:51.800
I hate, oh, I hate the fighting and everything. No, you know what they do? They wield political
00:22:56.220
power and it's extraordinarily effective. And it's actually responsible of them to do that
00:23:01.300
because that's what their constituents elected them to do. It's, it's good to hold all the right
00:23:07.220
opinions. I'm glad, and, and Ben Sasse largely holds the right opinions, but he appears unwilling to do
00:23:16.340
the other part of the job. Frankly, maybe the more important part of the job, which is exercise the
00:23:22.340
power that you are given. He won't do that. One thing that people loved about Trump
00:23:27.920
is they might disagree with him on this. They might disagree with him on that. They might not
00:23:32.860
even like the way he talks, but the guy was willing to wield power. He was often prevented
00:23:39.560
from doing that, especially after he lost the, the house. And even a lot of people in the Republican
00:23:46.420
establishment would, would hamper his plans, but he was willing to do things. He was willing to
00:23:53.060
follow up on his campaign promises more so than any president of either party in my lifetime,
00:23:57.840
but certainly more so than any Republican president in my lifetime. And he was, he was not afraid
00:24:04.000
to exercise power. He was not afraid of being called all sorts of names by Democrats.
00:24:09.980
Really weak stuff. I don't, I mean, I don't care what the Nebraska GOP does, if they're going to censure
00:24:13.880
him or not. I, I don't think that we should cast Ben's ass even into the outer darkness,
00:24:18.420
but I think the guy's got to come around and get tougher and, and be willing to exercise power
00:24:23.300
because that's half the job. And that's actually the important half of the job.
00:24:29.500
I don't know, man, I'm really fired up. I feel like I've just got my blood flowing,
00:24:33.440
testosterone pumping. I think I'm going to sprout a beard right here on set. That's how fired up I am.

00:25:59.540
You know, we were talking about President Trump and questions of voter fraud and tough political
00:26:11.120
fights like we're going to get into with this impeachment trial, which is not a real impeachment
00:26:15.400
trial. It's a fake impeachment trial because it doesn't satisfy the constitutional requirements
00:26:20.580
for impeachment trials. Namely, Donald Trump is not the president. So not an impeachment trial
00:26:27.720
per the constitution and he can't be removed from office because he's not in office and the chief
00:26:34.040
justice is not presiding as the constitution says he must. So there's some kind of trial going on in
00:26:41.700
the Senate. This is really kicking off this week. So all the preparation is going, the briefs have been
00:26:47.600
filed this week and then we're going to move into next week. The house impeachment managers want
00:26:52.080
President Trump to testify. And the big question for Republicans and conservatives is, is Trump going
00:26:58.460
to play it safe? And are his lawyers just going to focus on how this is an illegitimate trial and
00:27:04.020
doesn't meet the constitutional standard and you're going to have to acquit him? Or is the guy going to
00:27:09.860
go for broke? And is he going to present all the evidence he's got of all the irregularities and all
00:27:15.620
the shady deals that happened in Philadelphia and Georgia, wherever? Is he, is he going to make the
00:27:20.940
case that is now so politically incorrect that there were lots of irregularities in the election?
00:27:28.000
And I don't know, I'm of, I'm of two minds on this. One, it's probably safer, you know,
00:27:34.040
get acquitted in the trial, make sure there's no question that you could run again if he wanted to
00:27:38.880
run again. And, uh, moreover have this kind of fun historical, you know, fact, which is he's the only
00:27:46.120
president to be impeached twice and he got acquitted twice. Uh, or is he Trump? You know, does he put on
00:27:53.200
the greatest show on earth? Does he make this a spectacular, a total blowout, go out, not with a
00:27:57.640
whimper, but with a bang. It seems like we're getting an answer on this. Uh, Trump was invited to
00:28:03.220
testify by the house impeachment managers and his lawyers have turned it down. They've called this a
00:28:10.280
public relations stunt. Uh, they're not going to do it. They, they don't want Trump to testify. So
00:28:15.920
if Trump is not going to testify, it seems to me, they're not going to make this a big show.
00:28:22.100
You'll remember my podcast with Senator Cruz verdict began during the last impeachment,
00:28:27.580
which was just one year ago. And so we'll, we'll be covering this pseudo impeachment trial again.
00:28:34.700
Uh, but it, it doesn't appear that it's going to be a big deal. Whatever is going on behind the scenes,
00:28:40.600
Trump is signaling. He's not going to make big claims. They'll let this thing fizzle. And then
00:28:46.300
who knows, maybe he'll come back and run again. Now, this doesn't mean that Trump has lost his gumption.
00:28:52.220
This doesn't mean that Trump has lost his fire and his fight, his vim and vigor.
00:28:59.720
Turning from politics back to Trump's other career in show business,
00:29:04.020
President Trump is a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Uh, he's the second president to be a member
00:29:09.440
of the Screen Actors Guild. Ronald Reagan was the president of the Screen Actors Guild, as you'll
00:29:13.300
recall. A Screen Actors Guild emerged with another show business union called AFTRA some years ago,
00:29:20.900
probably eight or nine years ago. So now it's SAG-AFTRA. And it's a, a, not a great union. It's,
00:29:27.440
it's a actually a really terrible union. Back in my truly wayward, irresponsible days, I was for just
00:29:33.720
about three years a professional actor and worked these union contracts under SAG-AFTRA. And the,
00:29:39.980
the union does nothing for its members. I mean, it's really bad. And I, a lot of friends of mine have
00:29:44.200
been in, they've been in SAG leadership, right? They've, they've helped run the union or a lot,
00:29:49.200
a lot of friends of mine have been in the union and it doesn't matter their politics. Obviously
00:29:52.700
99% of my friends who are in, in the Screen Actors Guild are left-wingers. They hate the union too.
00:29:59.700
This is a kind of ubiquitous sentiment. So SAG, you know, even though they don't do anything for
00:30:06.240
their members, they want to make all these big political stunts. So they say they're going to
00:30:08.960
kick out Trump. Trump writes a letter to them. Uh, if you'll indulge me, I want to read it
00:30:14.700
in large part, if not in full. Ms. Carteris, I guess she's the head of the union or something.
00:30:21.300
I write to you today regarding the so-called disciplinary committee hearing aimed at revoking
00:30:25.920
my union membership. Who cares? Not a question mark, exclamation point. While I'm not familiar
00:30:32.620
with your work, I'm very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street,
00:30:38.980
Money Never Sleeps. And television shows, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live. And of
00:30:43.300
course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice, to name
00:30:47.460
just a few, exclamation point. I've, it's, it just keeps getting better. I've also greatly helped the
00:30:53.940
cable news television business said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved
00:30:59.240
in politics and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and fake news CNN among, among many
00:31:07.300
others. Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal
00:31:12.660
record as a union. I'm going to pause there because Trump always attacks his opponents in
00:31:16.700
these kinds of terms, you know, low ratings, no one likes you. But I mentioned all that stuff about
00:31:21.020
SAG earlier to just tell you from whatever sort of slight insidery perspective I've got, truly the
00:31:27.680
union members, regardless of politics, hate SAG-AFTRA. It is a bad union that does not negotiate well
00:31:33.260
for its members. Your organization has done little for its members and nothing for me besides collecting
00:31:38.240
dues and, and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas as evident by your massive
00:31:43.000
unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors who even recorded a video asking why isn't
00:31:48.480
the union fighting for me. These however are policy failures. Your disciplinary failures are even more
00:31:54.220
egregious. I no longer wish to be associated with your union. As such, this letter is to inform you of
00:32:00.160
my immediate resignation from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me. Regards, regards Donald J. Trump,
00:32:11.300
regards President Donald J. Trump. Now I read this not just because it's absolutely hilarious and it, it makes
00:32:19.380
me feel a little better to know that Trump still has his typical fight in him and he's still pushing back
00:32:25.280
against these guys. But there's actually a bit of political significance to this too. Because we think
00:32:31.660
of SAG as just this kind of show business thing, but it's a union, right? And unions are the traditional
00:32:39.260
domain of the Democrats. We actually began the show talking about this, right? Joe Biden trying to play
00:32:45.840
very safe with the teachers union. He's willing to ignore the advice of his CDC, follow the science.
00:32:52.020
Joe Biden is going to ignore the scientific experts just to keep the teacher unions happy.
00:32:58.360
But what Donald Trump did was chip away at the support for Democrats among the unions.
00:33:06.580
He got these guys in all sorts of different unions to endorse him. And so while Trump is, you know,
00:33:14.280
blowing off steam and he's yelling at this union hack, whatever, Carteris from SAG,
00:33:20.320
he's also sending a political message. And Republicans would, would do very well to hear
00:33:26.120
that political message. Ted Cruz, who I'm about to go fly down and see, because we're doing an event
00:33:31.260
for Young America's Foundation. We're going to do verdict live. Cruz has said, the Republican party,
00:33:36.840
if it's going to have a future, needs to be the party of Pittsburgh, not the party of Paris. It's got
00:33:40.220
to be the party of working men and women, not the party that the Democrats had kind of caricatured us as
00:33:46.340
of oligarchs and, you know, billionaires and rich uncle penny bags. Trump is signaling in this letter,
00:33:53.140
he's doing it in a hilarious way, but he's signaling in this letter, that is the future
00:33:56.500
of the Democratic party. These unions, these elites have lied to the constituents that they take for
00:34:02.820
granted. You should vote for us. What have you got to lose? Give us a chance. Don't get fooled again.

00:35:56.320
Welcome back. First mailbag question is from Ben. Is there a balance between attaining as much
00:36:15.620
virtue as one should before entering into romantic relationships versus dealing with scruples?
00:36:20.800
How do you know when you are ready to date if you are struggling with vices?
00:36:27.140
Okay. Excellent, excellent question. For those who don't know what scruples are or scrupulosity,
00:36:34.560
it's kind of the opposite problem that most people are facing right now. Most people are facing this
00:36:39.580
problem where they were, they refuse to even acknowledge the reality of sin and vice and they
00:36:43.740
just think we can do whatever we want. As long as we all consent, we can do whatever we want,
00:36:47.880
we've been talking about that this week on the show. The opposite problem though, but it's also
00:36:53.620
a serious problem, is when you think that everything is a sin, even things that aren't sins. And so you're
00:36:58.600
just so afraid and you refuse to do anything and you're kind of, you're hampered and frozen by fear
00:37:04.420
of sinning, even on perfectly ordinary things. And how this relates to dating. It is certainly the case
00:37:12.560
that if you are mired in vice and you're a total degenerate and derelict, then you can really hurt
00:37:17.840
people when you're dating or dating casually, or maybe I'm even using the word dating too broadly.
00:37:23.720
But when you're, you know, chatting up the ladies, yeah, you can do that. And that's something you
00:37:27.860
should keep in check and just don't be a jerk, you know, and just every time you are tempted to be a
00:37:32.100
jerk, which will be frequent, don't be. And when you do behave like a jerk, feel bad about it and
00:37:38.340
maybe go to confession. This is my sort of Catholic advice on it, but just try not to do it again.
00:37:44.380
But don't, don't live your life in fear. Goodness gracious, man. I mean, the process of
00:37:49.040
adolescence and beginning to date and, you know, chatting up different girls is, coincides with a
00:37:56.640
period in which you're going to be learning a lot of things. That process itself will educate you as
00:38:00.980
well. So I would say, go out there, chat up the chicks and don't be a jerk. But, but do,
00:38:08.340
do not be, do not be hampered by fear. If you wait until you attain perfect virtue
00:38:12.840
to go date girls, you're, you're probably going to be sitting at home a lot.
00:38:18.720
And if something tells me that one of the vices you're alluding to is internet porn, because every,
00:38:27.340
every guy basically who writes into the show with questions like this, it refers to internet porn at
00:38:33.960
some point or is alluding to internet porn because it's, it's a ubiquitous vice and temptation.
00:38:38.060
It relates directly to relationships and to romance and to marriage.
00:38:43.220
Over 90% of guys, well over 90% of guys have, have looked at it at some point.
00:38:48.240
Many of, many, many of those people look at it very young. I think the, the average or median age
00:38:52.500
at which point young boys are exposed to this is like 11 or something. So yeah, it's, it's a big
00:38:57.280
problem and it can, it can mess you up. But you, you know, you, the only way out is through,
00:39:03.280
right? The, the, you're, you're not going to get everything about your life in order
00:39:07.040
personally, privately in your own head. And then you're going to be able to go out and,
00:39:11.880
and interact in society and ain't going to happen. So you gotta, you gotta just work on all of these
00:39:17.100
things at once. You can, you can't freeze time. We've been, we've been talking about this a little
00:39:20.660
bit on the show too. You know, we're living in time. So you've got to, you've got to be able to do
00:39:24.980
multiple things at once. Work on yourself and go out and build your life and build your career and
00:39:31.440
build your hobbies. And you can't just only do one of those at a time. From Nick. Hey Michael,
00:39:37.640
long time listener, first time mailbag question. The groundhog saw his shadow. Should we ask Dr.
00:39:42.620
Fauci if that means six more years to slow the spread? Uh, yeah, I think we absolutely should.
00:39:49.300
The problem is we won't be able to trust whatever answer he gives us because he could come out and say,
00:39:54.700
well, the groundhog is a very clear. And I've been very clear from the beginning.
00:40:00.740
The groundhog is six more years to slow the spread. And then six years later, we're going to
00:40:07.580
say, okay, we're good now. We can, we can all go. I never said that the science is very, very clear.
00:40:13.380
You've all got to wear the masks and put the donut on your head and jump up and down on the pogo stick
00:40:18.560
for another 25 years. That's the science. That's what's very, very important.
00:40:24.700
Next question from Bryson. Hey Michael, congrats on the baby. Thank you very much.
00:40:29.500
My pastor recently preached a sermon online where he said that we should follow, oh, this is why it
00:40:34.980
was online because he said we should follow government lockdown rules because of Romans 13 verse one.
00:40:40.980
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities for there is no authority except
00:40:45.240
that which God has established. What is your response when Christians use this verse to say that
00:40:50.880
we must follow the insane China virus restrictions? P.S. I love your show. Thank you for all that you do
00:40:55.740
at the daily wire. Do you, or does your pastor read that line from Romans to mean that the earliest
00:41:05.600
Christians should have worshiped pagan idols, right? Christianity spread in many ways through the
00:41:14.020
blood of the martyrs. And there were many, many Christian martyrs during the Roman empire who refused
00:41:20.740
to worship the Roman pagan gods and worship pagan idols. It was the law, but they broke the law and
00:41:30.660
they suffered the consequences for breaking the law. And then they went up to heaven because they were
00:41:35.300
martyrs. Does your pastor really believe that Romans is saying that we shouldn't do this? I don't,
00:41:44.540
I can't imagine he thinks that. Uh, you know, one thing I would recommend on this point because
00:41:50.920
we, we do have to give great deference to civil authority and the civil authority
00:41:55.920
is there for our own good and the state is not an illegitimate thing and it is, it is there for
00:42:01.100
our own good and, you know, hierarchies of rule exist for our own good and, and, uh, exist all the way
00:42:08.040
up to the kingdom of heaven. Sure. Uh, however, St. Thomas Aquinas recognizes there, that there are times to
00:42:14.140
overthrow a tyrant's shackles. Uh, and so the question is, what is that time and how should we
00:42:21.740
do it? One recommendation I would give you is to go take a listen to Spencer Clavin's, uh, Young
00:42:26.820
Heretics podcast. He just did the last couple of days. He's done a series on the right of revolution
00:42:32.640
and the right of civil disobedience and the right to push back against these things. That would be some
00:42:37.580
great extra listening. I'll give you a short answer here in case you don't want to take the time to
00:42:42.700
listen to Spencer's show, which is we are now told that we need to pay obeisance to many rituals
00:42:53.020
of the liberal liturgical calendar, right? We are told it is right and just to go out and perform the
00:43:00.580
BLM rituals, which mostly involve burning down cities and stealing Gucci handbags. We're told it's
00:43:06.380
perfectly fine to observe the Antifa rituals, but we can't go to church. Churches are closed.
00:43:13.700
The big left-wing events are open, which have a liturgical and religious character. Those are,
00:43:18.360
those are open. The, uh, marijuana dispensaries in California, they've been open pretty much the
00:43:23.600
whole time. They're essential, but churches are closed. It would seem to me, obviously not a perfect
00:43:29.240
analogy, a very, very diminished version, but there are still some similarities to any, any government
00:43:35.640
that would force you to participate in, in one religion and disregard your own religion. And I,
00:43:41.360
I can say this, especially for Catholics. Catholics can't stream the mass forever. We, we have an
00:43:49.300
incarnational faith, right? And many Protestant denominations, particularly the older Protestant
00:43:55.060
denominations have this, recognize this kind of incarnational aspect. We need to go there. We
00:44:00.080
need to do it. We can't be cut off from the sacraments forever. And if the civil authority
00:44:04.360
is going to cut you off from the sacraments forever, then you've got to disobey that authority.
00:44:08.380
From Rebecca, I'm having a hard time meeting someone I want to date who is Catholic. Oh,
00:44:12.280
Catholic question. But I met a lot of great Protestants. Is it okay to date and marry a Protestant
00:44:15.780
as a practicing Catholic? I'm worried about secretly always hoping they'll change as I know I'd pray for
00:44:20.080
their conversion. I expected you to advise against this until I heard that when you married your wife,
00:44:25.640
she was a Protestant. She was not a Protestant, but she was not a Catholic. What was your thought
00:44:29.800
process? Well, yeah, I'll give you, I mean, since you bring up the example of my wife, I can, I'll
00:44:33.480
bring up my own example. For, for most of the time, I guess maybe not most of the time, but for the early
00:44:39.820
time that my wife and I dated, because you remember we were high school sweethearts and split for
00:44:43.420
college. We were both practically atheists and we didn't have any religion, we didn't practice any
00:44:50.840
religion other than, you know, the religion of secular liberalism. And then I, you know, had this
00:44:57.620
kind of reversion on the road to Damascus. I have this kind of coming back to the church. And then
00:45:04.220
that, of course, spurred all of these conversations with my wife and, you know, her own thinking about
00:45:09.400
this matter. So I always say, you know, you either grow together or you grow apart. And that,
00:45:15.660
that will be an aspect of this. From a very practical perspective though, you should know
00:45:21.800
that if you want to be married, as you are a Catholic, if you want to marry a Protestant,
00:45:27.220
you need to marry him and you want to remain Catholic. You need to marry him in the Catholic
00:45:31.520
church. You need to get a dispensation from your bishop and you need to agree to raise the children
00:45:35.980
Catholic. Now, if your potential husband would, would agree with this, then he will be practicing
00:45:44.240
a different religion than his entire family. But he also has to be the head of the household. He also
00:45:49.800
has to lead his family. So it would seem to be much easier for him to just become Catholic.
00:45:54.400
Or he could leave, he could defer to you as in spiritual matters, but he still would,
00:46:00.420
you know, have to go to mass, right? I don't see any world in which you could raise a Catholic
00:46:04.860
family, but daddy doesn't go to mass. So he'd have to go to mass and he'd, he'd have to basically
00:46:09.260
give all the kind of spiritual leadership to you. Maybe you are okay with that. Maybe he's okay with
00:46:14.260
that. Maybe you're not. I have seen this work where, you know, good big old Catholic family where
00:46:21.620
the husband does not convert, but he basically just goes along with everything and doesn't have
00:46:25.780
really strong religious views himself. You could do that. I think that's probably the exception
00:46:31.680
rather than the rule. Probably better to confront this issue and grow together rather than grow
00:46:37.160
apart. Because if you grow apart after the marriage and after the wedding, that's, that's going to be
00:46:41.240
a very bad situation. From Sarah. Hey, Michael, love the show. What authority are you speaking under
00:46:46.760
when you criticize the Pope? Well, this is a very Catholic heavy mailbag. What authority are you
00:46:50.520
speaking under when you criticize the Pope and the Vatican? Oh, I'm going to pause there one second.
00:46:54.600
I don't know that I have criticized the Pope and the Vatican. I've raised many questions about things
00:47:01.680
and I've raised many doubts about things that the Vatican has done. But I, and so in that way,
00:47:09.280
I guess it's critical. But I haven't, you know, there's no video on the internet of like Michael
00:47:14.480
Knowles destroys the Holy Father with facts and logic. I don't, I don't do that. Shouldn't all Catholics
00:47:20.540
be looking to the same authority? Are there specific sections of the catechism being violated? So I guess
00:47:25.380
if your question is how dare a Catholic criticize the Pope, I, I would encourage you to read Dante who puts
00:47:33.100
two Popes in hell, you know, you know, being, being sort of tormented for eternity. There's a long
00:47:40.220
tradition of, of the Catholic laity and of priests and even sort of lower, lower tier members of the
00:47:48.440
episcopacy, raising questions and doubts about things that the, the Pope has said and done. There
00:47:54.520
are filial questions that we can ask them, fraternal corrections we can make of our fellow Catholics.
00:48:00.960
Cardinal Burke famously in, in this pontificate has raised dubia, a series of doubts to, to the Pope
00:48:09.100
that he, he wants the Pope to clarify because certain things the Pope has said seem very, very
00:48:14.700
questionable, if not outright heretical. And the Pope has refused to, to acknowledge those dubia from,
00:48:19.840
from his eminence, Cardinal Burke. So perfectly in keeping with Catholic tradition to raise these
00:48:25.720
sorts of questions. I'm not suggesting that, you know, we ought to have a revolution, you know,
00:48:30.340
to overthrow the Pope or, you know, have a recall election or something. I don't, I don't believe any
00:48:35.060
of that stuff. But likewise, I think we're, we're really perverting the Catholic view of things when
00:48:41.320
we say that nobody can question the Pope. Some of the, some of the greatest writings in the history
00:48:45.260
of the church come from vigorous questions and even some, some criticism of, of the episcopacy and
00:48:52.080
even the Pope. From Tyler, dear Michael Knowles, I noticed that you have talked about how McCarthyism
00:48:57.920
is twisted in our history books. I was wondering if you could share what sources show what really
00:49:01.520
happened. Well, you know, a great, a great book on this is by William F. Buckley Jr., who is credited
00:49:06.380
with founding the, the modern conservative movement. Bill Buckley wrote his first book, God and Man at
00:49:12.020
Yale, but his second book was called McCarthy and His Enemies. In that book, he said, and I'm paraphrasing
00:49:16.520
but only lightly, that McCarthyism is a political movement around which men of goodwill, all men and
00:49:22.720
women of goodwill can, can surround. Around which they can surround, I don't know, I'm messing up the words
00:49:29.140
a little bit, but, you know, a movement that they all can embrace. What did McCarthy do? McCarthy said there
00:49:34.800
are communists working in the government, high profile communists in high profile positions,
00:49:38.940
and we need to root them out because they're subversives who are working in some cases explicitly
00:49:43.080
at the behest of an enemy state. That was true. That was a hundred percent true. It was proven true
00:49:48.500
in the Alger Hiss trial, many other cases as well. You saw prosecutions under the Smith Act during the,
00:49:54.560
the 1950s of communists subverting the country. But Alger Hiss was a high ranking official. He helped
00:50:00.500
found the United Nations and he was an active underground communist. Another great book detailing
00:50:06.600
that case was Witness by Whitaker Chambers. So McCarthy was right. He was twisted. He's been
00:50:11.640
certainly defamed by history. He's, he's a flawed guy in many flaws. Maybe he hurt the cause more than
00:50:17.520
he helped it. Some people make that argument, but to say the cause was unjust is absolutely
00:50:21.580
preposterous. The left has never forgiven him for being right about what they were doing,
00:50:25.780
just like they never forgave Richard Nixon for being right about Alger Hiss actually,
00:50:29.020
because Nixon was one of the people who brought Hiss down. The real history, much more interesting
00:50:33.040
than the revision that we, that we get, the bubblegum history that we get from propagandists
00:50:38.200
on the left. All right, that's our show. Check us out in Miami. I'm heading down there now. We will
00:50:42.460
have a YAF Freedom Conference, Verdict Live. In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles. This is the

Hey everybody, this is Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. You know, some people are
00:51:48.060
depressed because the republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moon's turned
00:51:52.660
to blood. But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started. So come on over
00:51:57.340
to The Andrew Klavan Show and laugh your way through the fall of the republic with me, Andrew Klavan.
