The impeachment of Donald Trump is not what the media is telling you it s about. In fact, I don t even think it's about what i have told you it was about. As we prepare for a special next week, we stumbled upon something we ve been looking at for 10 years, we just didn t know what we were looking at.
01:02:14.540You know, we're right around Thanksgiving.
01:02:16.200Would you come back on the week before Thanksgiving and maybe bring some, you know, bring something that you found from past Thanksgivings?
01:05:47.200It's a cloud-based business management software that gives you the visibility and control that you need to grow.
01:05:53.800With NetSuite, you're going to save time, money, unnecessary headaches by managing sales, financing, accounting, orders, HR, all of it from your desktop or your phone.
01:06:04.600Companies that use NetSuite tend to grow three times faster than the S&P 500.
01:11:58.820The most recent thing to compare it to was the steroid scandal.
01:12:02.860But at that time, baseball was invariably called a clean sport to differentiate itself from boxing and horse racing, you know, where fixes were obviously going on.
01:12:14.400And F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about Arnold Rothstein, the gambler behind it, as a man who destroyed the faith of 50 million people.
01:12:25.180This was, you know, the saying you've probably heard, or maybe not, say it ain't so, Joe.
01:12:33.600That comes from that, where a little boy supposedly outside the grand jury, shoeless Joe Jackson, he was in Field of Dreams, comes out, he's confessed, and the little boy says, say it ain't so, Joe, like in some, you know, movie.
01:12:48.340And I think the bulk of the American people felt like that, that this was not supposed to happen.
01:12:54.800Baseball was clean, and, you know, baseball mom and apple pie.
01:12:58.980So, and it was happening also at a time after World War II.
01:13:03.280It happened during the Wilson administration, okay?
01:13:33.540But what really happens is a judge called Kennesaw Mountain Landis had been a progressive.
01:13:40.300He had fined Standard Oil, like $26 million in 1907.
01:13:44.980He prosecuted the anti-war people, or was the judge in the trials of people who were against the war.
01:13:52.260He comes out after, you know, the White Sox, Black Sox guys, the crooked players are acquitted by a jury in Chicago.
01:14:01.300And, but Landis, who was a federal judge in Chicago, issues a statement that says no player who endeavors to fix a game, throw a game, sits with, with players and discusses this or with gamblers or who does not inform his club about what's going on will never play baseball again.
01:14:23.100And that really shuts the scandals down.
01:14:25.900And the most important part of that is that you have to inform on your other players if you hear something is going on.
01:14:35.740Because it's always known that, you know, you're not supposed to throw these games.
01:14:40.060It is not known that you're supposed to, you know, inform on your other players.
01:14:45.660And this has a sort of parallel with the controversy that, you know, Eliot Azenov may have been involved in.
01:14:53.020Not only was he blacklisted, but he fronted for blacklisted writers.
01:14:58.220Okay, this is a time when the communists refused to talk about other communists.
01:15:04.240So it's always a moral issue whether you're, to use a term now in the common parlance, a whistleblower.
01:15:12.720You know, what's right, what's wrong about that?
01:15:14.980And in baseball, it was, you're going to, you're not going to be a part.
01:15:20.680If you hear about this, you're going to tell the authorities.
01:16:02.500You always used to see signs in the old ballparks, you know, no gambling in there.
01:16:08.500They were very much afraid of being tainted again.
01:16:11.880And I think, you know, the Rose thing is akin to the Shoeless Joe Jackson situation where both of them, there are arguments they should both be in the Hall of Fame because they're playing records.
01:16:26.540But they're kept out because they're just poison in terms of the gambling situation.
01:16:31.880So did Shoeless Joe Jackson, did he, you know, the kids say it ain't so, Joe, he wasn't, he didn't spend any time.
01:17:46.440Well, they all play in 1920 because the scandal is not uncovered until very late in the season when they're all suspended with the pennant race still going on.
01:17:57.320And Comiskey, the owner, the so-called cheapskate owner, bounces all the players who are still on the team.
01:18:04.480Interestingly enough, the Yankees then offer to lend Babe Ruth to the White Sox so they can finish out their season competitively.
01:18:26.080One of my favorite historians, David Petruzza, who is fascinated with the progressive era just as much as I am and loves to find stories that just are upside down because some socialist, communist, progressive took the story and just carved the heart out of it.
01:18:45.400Someday we'll have a story about a young boy in Texas who was brutalized by his father who wouldn't allow him to transform into a woman named Starfire.
01:18:55.100And that's how the history will be written about that incident.
01:19:00.160By the way, we have him on with us tomorrow to talk about that court cases going on today.
01:19:06.600Right now, somewhere in the United States, somebody is about to commit a burglary.
01:19:15.020Going to break into a house, steal as much as he can before running off and trying to get away.
01:19:19.380And if he's smart, he knows that depending on what alarm system, if any, the owner has, he has an average of about 45 minutes before the police arrive.
01:19:30.920If you're a burglar, turn this off for a second.
01:19:32.940Well, Mel, turn it up because actually I'd like you to know so you don't even attempt.
01:19:38.640But I'd kind of like to get you caught.
01:19:40.740SimpliSafe, if the burglar is smart, he'll try a different house because the average response time for a SimpliSafe house that is broken into is now seven minutes, not 45.
01:20:16.300You'll have eyes on your home 24-7 and video evidence if somebody's trying to get you in or get them in.
01:20:21.400And honestly, that is why it goes from 45 minutes to seven minutes because they have video evidence and they tell the police, no, there's a break-in happening right now.
01:21:33.820And they both, in this situation, are both interested in younger women, which is almost always the case with the men, and in this situation, also with the women.
01:22:07.820So anyway, she's the first woman to have an ethics investigation on sexual misconduct.
01:22:16.860She said she was having a consensual relationship with a young staffer, but don't we know, Stu, don't we know now that the power dynamics, the power dynamics, this was abuse.
01:22:32.960She says, during the final tumultuous years of my abusive marriage, I became involved in a relationship with someone on my campaign.
01:22:41.040I know that even a consensual relationship with a subordinate is inappropriate, but I still allowed it to happen, despite my better judgment.
01:22:51.460But the younger staffer was doing like a three-way with the, quote, abusive husband, who the third wheel says, no, it's the other way around.
01:23:13.660And yes, there's all, I mean, look, it's a divorce.
01:23:17.460And there is a big part of me that says this is their crazy personal life.
01:23:22.560And, you know, I don't, you know, when it comes to a campaign, there's an ethics investigations, obviously news.
01:23:27.700But it is, at some level, their personal business.
01:23:31.300It's interesting, the double standard that happens here, because you can dig into all sorts of divorce hearings when Barack Obama is running against Jack Ryan in Illinois to get a Senate seat that leads to the presidency.
01:23:42.220It's totally unfined to unearth those records and push them all over the media.
01:23:47.740But with this one, people seem to be a little bit more hesitant to do so.
01:23:51.800Yeah, well, I mean, it's their personal life.
01:23:53.800She was just exploring, you know, and doing something that the victim says was dark and unnatural.
01:24:03.120We're just, we have Michael Knowles on here, and he was just protested by these people who are standing up for the rights of transgender people, which I'm fine with rights of transit.
01:24:27.700But they threw out this line that said, you know, the rate of transgenders being killed in our country.
01:24:37.540And I asked you, is there an epidemic going on?
01:24:41.060Because I keep hearing this from people.
01:24:43.080And how come I'm not seeing the stories on the news?
01:24:46.880I mean, if somebody is hunting down transgender people, if somebody is, if they are, if there are hate crimes against transgender people, we should know about it.
01:25:06.120All three involved concealing their physical sex, which is, you know, they were not, again, not necessarily saying they were, you know, two of them were sex work.
01:25:17.680So a guy goes, gets a prostitute, thinks it's a man and it's a woman, or the other way around, probably.
01:25:23.220Now that I think about it, probably the other way around.
01:26:46.460I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that if you're listening to me, you probably have a lot of the same values that I do,
01:26:55.020except for those who are transcribing things for Soros, you know, one of the NGOs for Soros.
01:27:01.720I'm going to guess, like me, you're not particularly happy when you know your money is being spent on things like, I don't know, Planned Parenthood and La Raza.
01:27:13.600Sometimes you, you know, have to buy a product and they make a unique product, but not with your mobile phone provider.
01:27:21.440Big mobile companies are subsidizing leftist causes that are eroding our values, our rights, and our country.
01:27:29.760Patriot Mobile is the only sell company that donates to the causes that you and I believe in.
01:27:36.020So when you're paying Verizon, do you know they take a good percentage of what you pay them and they're giving that money to Planned Parenthood or La Raza?

01:28:39.760Mr. Michael Knowles, the host of the Michael Knowles show at the Daily Wire, a very funny guy, very smart guy, accomplished writer, I could say.
01:29:04.540I could say writer, kind of like that when I say he was the author of the number one bestselling book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats.
01:29:15.900If you don't know why I say writer, you should go in and look that book up.
01:29:22.720Welcome to the program, Michael Knowles.
01:29:38.040I've been doing – it's good to hear from you, Glenn.
01:29:40.340I've been doing well, and I have been on my YAP, Young America's Foundation, lecture tour, which is the Men Are Not Women and Other Uncomfortable Truths lecture tour.
01:29:49.640And I have never seen a basic biological reality meet such protests.
01:29:56.500I actually found myself – I was an assignment in a gender studies class, a gender studies class called Sex and Love, two of my favorite subjects, by the way, actually assigned the students a protest against my speech.
01:30:12.420Not to come see my speech, but to protest the speech.
01:30:18.820When I was in school, you would get extra credit by watching something or going someplace, listening it, and then having a conversation or writing a paper on it.
01:30:32.880This must have been 100 years ago that – I mean, I think now the universities have completely flipped this on its head because what – there was a protester at this speech who, on camera, you can see it on YouTube, said the reason we're protesting is because this speech is literally violence.
01:30:50.640And so, I mean, that was my reaction to you.
01:30:53.260I said, you know, back in the way, way back days when I was in college just a few years ago, you would get extra credit if you went and listened to a lecture.
01:31:00.420Now you're getting credit for protesting a lecture.
01:31:02.900The way that they've done it is because they can't refute any sort of conservative argument.
01:31:08.240The only way that they can fight back against our argument is to censor us, to shut us down, to protest us.
01:31:14.880And the best way that they can do that is to equate our speech with violence because it then justifies their own violence in return.
01:32:21.140So, this was not exactly – I mean, it was seemingly kind of well attended.
01:32:25.700It must have been maybe, I don't know, 50 or 75 people there.
01:32:29.720But they weren't really – it wasn't an exciting rally.
01:32:33.260And some of the points they're making, like the high rate of transgender being killed, you know, we looked it up.
01:32:47.440And in a three-year period, there were only three people that were transgender that were murdered because they were transgendered.
01:32:57.440And all three of them involved the surprise that apparently hit some people when they believe they're about to hook up with a woman and it maybe is not a woman.
01:33:27.360You know, of course, they totally manipulate the statistics, and it's all for this emotional manipulation.
01:33:34.320What's funny is the tour, you know, it takes its title from the speech that I gave, Men Are Not Women, where I first was very protested and actually physically assaulted too.
01:33:44.320But there are these other uncomfortable truths, and the two that I've been giving, the video you saw and the clip you played was at Kennesaw State in Georgia, and then I was at University of Florida last night.
01:33:54.020And the two other uncomfortable truths were that the mainstream media are fake news, that you're being fed a bill of goods from leftist propagandists, much like we heard in that clip.
01:34:04.840And then the next one I thought was more important, which is that leftism is not compassionate.
01:34:09.920And what they're saying is that if we state very basic biological reality, that that's actually cruel, it's leading to murder, and it's leading to suicide.
01:34:18.860And none of the statistics back that up at all.
01:34:21.280But what they want to do is portray reality as cruel and portray fantasy as compassionate.
01:34:27.880And, of course, that simply isn't true.
01:34:30.640So, Michael, what's the reaction on campuses?
01:34:34.540Because I'm starting to see videos where there are thousands of people that are turning out positively for conservative,
01:34:45.040and I can't even say conservative, just science facts.
01:34:48.640Yeah. There are many, many multiples more people who are turning out to these lectures to engage in a productive way.
01:34:57.380You know, I was at the University of Florida last night.
01:34:59.160There were hundreds of people there, and it wasn't all conservative students.
01:35:02.680Many were moderates, and a few of them were left-wing, and some of the left-wingers got up there and asked questions in a mostly respectful way.
01:35:10.240And it was really productive, and it's sort of what the university is supposed to do, is to foster dialogue, and everybody can leave hopefully having learned something.
01:35:18.860I think we've reached a tipping point with these censors, with these people who are going to try to shut us down.
01:35:25.860You know, they tell you that anybody to the right of Hillary Clinton is a fascist and a bigot and a Nazi and a murderer.
01:35:32.820And I just think nobody really believes it, and they've simply gone too far.
01:35:39.580And at this point, if you are going to protest a basic fact, you know, men are not women, you might as well protest the idea that 2 plus 2 equals 4.
01:35:49.060I think the vast, vast majority of people know that the censors have lost the narrative, and they're not going to take it anymore.
01:35:57.380They're going to turn out, and they're not going to be robbed of their university experience.
01:36:28.240And I think that's where most people are.
01:36:31.460The problem is, as we are starting to say, this is crazy, and I think on all fronts, this is crazy.
01:36:39.440We have to have a conversation about this.
01:36:41.760They have institutionalized, not just in the schools, but they've institutionalized it in our government.
01:36:47.120When you have a seven-year-old in a Texas court being told that his mother can basically sterilize him and turn him into a woman when, you know, forget it.
01:37:02.700Even if that seven-year-old says, yeah, I'm Carol Channing, you don't do that to a seven-year-old.
01:37:22.480I mean, I was shocked myself when I saw the Texas decision, and very little shocks me these days.
01:37:28.280I am in the news 24-7, and I couldn't believe it because the problem runs so much deeper than we thought.
01:37:35.480You know, when you see the people with the crazy hair and you're yelling and screaming and they're all upset because of their leftist politics, it's easy to write that off and say, okay, these are just fringe lunatic people and the vast majority are normal.
01:37:47.640But when you have this institutionalized, not just in the judiciary, but in the judiciary in conservative places, you realize how deep the rot runs.
01:37:56.060I think this is why these conservative campus lecture series and these actually independent campus lecture series and the protests they meet are so important too because it shows you how deep the rot runs, even at elite universities.
01:38:09.600You know, there was a study out of ISI that showed that graduating seniors at elite universities know less about their history and their government and their politics than incoming freshmen.
01:38:20.120This is a really, really deep problem, and it's going to take a lot more than one or two elections or one or two decisions to turn it around.
01:38:26.640All right, this weekend, Politicon is happening in Nashville, and you're going to be there.
01:39:36.480And then as soon as that warranty bell goes off, it just starts to, your car just turns into, like, a car made out of Alka-Seltzer in a rainstorm.
01:42:49.260Yeah, I mean, there's various polls telling different stories.
01:42:51.880You know, it's—you know, the thing that I did talk about at one point, about how I think putting Biden versus Trump as the marquee matchup because of this impeachment and the Ukraine stuff, I think might help him.
01:43:03.520And you look at the CNN poll, it's 34 to 19.
01:43:08.120He's up over Elizabeth Warren, and I point you to that poll because it's the first shred of evidence that my theory was true.
01:43:13.840And everything else is pointed the other direction.
01:43:21.700I have another theory that they got to the edge of the abyss without Joe Biden, and they went, oh, good God, not—none of these people will work.
01:43:38.000If it's possible, you know, there's another poll out today.
01:43:40.920All these are—it's funny because all these polls come out, and they can give you a news cycle if you really want them to.
01:43:46.820There's a poll out of Iowa today that shows Biden in fourth behind a surging Pete Buttigieg, who seems to be taking some of his votes in that state.
01:43:57.260It's hard to know, though when you look at the national polling, this is since the last debate.
