The Michael Knowles Show

00:00:00.000 A federal judge has just thrown a major wrench in the Democrats' plans to prosecute Donald Trump

00:00:06.540 and rig the 2024 election by arresting the incumbent's chief political rival.

00:00:11.640 Judge Aileen Cannon has suspended the DOJ's investigation into Trump until a court-appointed

00:00:19.040 official can review the documents that Biden's goons seized during a raid on Trump's home.

00:00:24.820 This is a major problem for Democrats, because the Democrats were counting on speed to get their

00:00:32.860 way here because the raid itself was an outrageous abuse of power and probably illegal, and because

00:00:38.940 Trump didn't commit any crime in possessing the documents and actually could not have committed

00:00:43.960 any crime in possessing the documents, and because whatever they accused Trump of having done,

00:00:50.020 we know for a fact Hillary Clinton did it all with much less of a right to do it, all of which

00:00:56.840 has Hillary on the defensive. Quote, I can't believe we're still talking about this,

00:01:04.680 but my emails, she tweeted. As Trump's problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make

00:01:12.260 this about me again. There's even a Clinton standard. The fact is that I had zero emails

00:01:19.320 that were classified. Now, the only problem with Hillary's statement here is that it is

00:01:26.140 completely incorrect, as even FBI Director James Comey, a man who certainly is not fond of Donald

00:01:33.380 Trump and has made that perfectly clear, James Comey admitted at the time.

00:01:38.000 From the group of 30,000 emails returned to the State Department in 2014, 110 emails in 52 email

00:01:48.300 chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time

00:01:54.700 they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was top secret at the

00:02:01.660 time. They were sent. 36 of those chains contained secret information at the time, and eight contained

00:02:09.580 confidential information at the time. That's the lowest level of classification.

00:02:14.540 In other words, Hillary stored lots of classified documents than Trump in a much less secure location

00:02:20.540 than Trump without any of the right to do it as Trump. Since unlike Trump, Hillary was never the

00:02:25.220 President of the United States and therefore never had ultimate authority to declassify information.

00:02:30.600 Now, she's telling bold-faced lies about all of it, which is nothing new. On every single issue,

00:02:38.560 from classified information to election denial to insurrection, whatever the Democrats are accusing

00:02:46.780 Republicans of doing, the Democrats themselves have been doing for years. I'm Michael Knowles. This is

00:02:53.900 Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from friendly

00:03:05.260 neighborhood Snyderman, who says, the members block interview is worth the price of membership all by

00:05:06.500 slash Knowles. The Hillary standard. The Hillary standard is what is being described. It's just a

00:05:16.780 term to describe the two-tier justice system. Probably best exemplified by the Clintons and

00:05:25.900 how the Clintons get away with, I was going to say get away with murder, but maybe that's a little

00:05:30.900 too real. Listen, I don't have any information that could lead to the rest of Hillary Clinton.

00:05:35.700 Please, I've got a family. Please. But the Clintons get away with a whole lot of stuff

00:05:39.180 that the Republicans never ever would get away with. And even beyond the Clintons,

00:05:43.820 the Democrats get away with a whole lot of stuff that the Republicans would never ever get away with.

00:05:48.000 And then the Democrats have the temerity to accuse Republicans of doing exactly the sort of thing

00:05:53.000 that they have been doing for years. You saw this especially a couple of days ago with Jamie

00:05:57.400 Raskin, Democrat member of Congress who goes on CBS and he doubles down on the Biden line that the

00:06:04.920 Republicans, they're no longer just the loyal opposition. The Republicans, they're no longer

00:06:10.060 just bad for the country. They're downright fascists.

00:06:14.520 Two of the hallmarks of a fascist political party are one, they don't accept the results of

00:06:19.920 elections that don't go their way. And two, they embrace political violence. And I think

00:06:24.420 that's why President Biden was right to sound the alarm this week about these continuing attacks

00:06:31.120 on our constitutional order from the outside by Donald Trump and his movement.

00:06:35.520 Two hallmarks of fascism. Again, I had the same reaction that I had when the White House press

00:06:42.760 secretary used that word. I had the same reaction that I had when Biden used that word. None of these

00:06:48.540 people, certainly including Jamie Raskin, have ever read or really even ever heard of the doctrine of

00:06:55.640 fascism that was written by Mussolini and the philosopher Giovanni Gentile that describes what

00:07:01.440 fascism is. None of these people have ever read the early fascist manifestos that came earlier.

00:07:07.940 They don't know any of this stuff, okay? They're not using fascism to refer to an actual political

00:07:14.100 movement, an Italian political movement that really flourished in the 20th century.

00:07:20.180 They're just using fascism to mean something I don't like, okay? There are plenty of political

00:07:26.300 movements that push political violence and don't accept the results of elections, okay? The communists

00:07:31.540 have done that. There have been liberals who have done that. The Democratic Party in the United States

00:07:35.660 has certainly done that, okay? Hmm, who does that sound like? Not accepting the results of elections

00:07:41.340 and peddling political violence. But does it maybe sound like the party that didn't accept the results

00:07:45.780 of the 2000 election, or the party that hasn't accepted the results of the 2016 election, or the

00:07:51.120 party that didn't accept the results of the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, or on the political

00:07:55.760 violence front, maybe the party that encouraged political violence for eight months led by BLM and

00:08:00.760 Antifa, or maybe the party where the sitting vice president, the current vice president right now,

00:08:05.100 bailed out the rioters in Minneapolis, or maybe the party that called for violent Democrats,

00:08:11.340 and libs to go out and harass Republicans in public and at their homes where their children

00:08:16.140 sleep? Does it sound like them? Sure sounds like them to me. And thankfully, finally, finally,

00:08:22.340 Peter Doocy, the one kind of conservative reporter in the White House press pool,

00:08:27.520 asked the press secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, about this, because Corrine Jean-Pierre

00:08:32.340 has referred to multiple elections that Republicans won as stolen.

00:08:38.100 Just in trying to understand the new attention on the MAGA Republicans, you tweeted in 2016,

00:08:45.740 Trump stole an election. I was waiting, Peter, when you were going to ask me that question.

00:08:50.780 Well, here we go. You tweeted Trump stole an election. You tweeted Brian Kemp stole an election.

00:08:56.300 If denying election results is extreme now, why look at that? So let's be really clear. That

00:09:03.380 that comparison that you made is just ridiculous. I have been, I have been, well, you're asking me,

00:09:08.320 you're asking me a question. Let me answer it. And you said it was ridiculous.

00:09:11.760 I was, I was talking specifically at that time of what was happening with voting rights and the,

00:09:17.260 what was in danger of voting rights. That's what I was speaking to at the time.

00:09:21.160 Hold on. Before we get into the, this fake argument, the thing that sounds like an argument

00:09:27.940 that she's trying to make, just listen to those words there at the end. She goes,

00:09:32.620 hold on, hold on. No, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. At the time. Okay. What I was talking

00:09:38.180 about was voting rights and what was happening, voting rights. What does, I don't even know what

00:09:46.040 the semantic value of that, of those phrases are. You said, Karine Jean-Pierre, you said

00:09:52.320 that the 2016 election was stolen and the 2018 election was stolen. So yeah, I guess that has

00:09:59.940 to do with voting rights. If the, if the election is stolen, then that undermines voting rights.

00:10:06.200 Sure. But you, all of that is in service of the claim that the election was stolen. But now you're

00:10:13.820 saying that anyone who claims the election is stolen as a fascist and a threat to democracy,

00:10:17.980 but you, not only your political party 20 years ago, you yourself have done that within the last

00:10:23.340 four years. And her, her actual response to this, cause you, you heard her try to just cut off Peter

00:10:29.160 Ducey. Oh yeah, here we go. I knew you'd ask about this. Yeah. You knew he would ask about this because

00:10:33.520 it shows your rank hypocrisy and how disingenuous you are in your argument about fascism and a threat

00:10:39.240 to democracy. But she says, no, it's okay. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous because it's not fascism

00:10:46.180 when I do it. That's what the Democrats are saying. Yeah. I, the thing that I'm accusing

00:10:51.760 Republicans of doing, we have done and continue to do, but it's bad when they do it and it's good when

00:10:57.800 we do it. That's what they mean. If the Republicans are any threat to democracy, which,

00:11:04.380 which we're not, but if we were, the Democrats would be at least as much of a threat to democracy

00:11:10.080 and actually much more of a threat of democracy because they have undermined and delegitimized

00:11:16.800 more elections. If the Republicans are a threat to democracy because of the Republican political

00:11:22.760 violence, the Democrats are much, much more of a threat to democracy because Democrats have engaged

00:11:27.700 in much, much more, almost infinitely more political violence than the Republicans have.

00:11:35.060 So what does this mean for democracy? It is a kind of threat to democracy in the sense that

00:11:41.100 if, if neither side believes that the elections are fair or legitimate,

00:11:46.600 then we do, then we do not have a functioning democracy. If you don't have faith that the will of

00:11:53.880 the voters is being in some way, some, at least mostly accurately reflected in the polls,

00:11:59.380 then you don't have a democracy. And the Democrats know that they're just saying, okay, we're the only

00:12:05.500 ones who are going to question it because we're going to remain in power. What they are saying

00:12:08.860 effectively is, and Joe Biden said this almost word for word, if you vote for the other party

00:12:16.100 in our two-party system, you're a threat to democracy. That means we don't have a two-party

00:12:21.360 system anymore. That means that by our democracy, they mean a totalitarian one-party government.

00:12:27.880 If you're, if you're not legitimately allowed to vote for the other party, then you don't have a

00:12:31.340 two-party system and you don't have a democracy. They say democracy dies in darkness. Well, you're

00:13:58.180 Big scare headline in the Huffington Post, looking down at our neighbors to the south.

00:14:03.620 Forget about our democracy for a second. We're looking at Brazilian democracy.

00:14:06.880 Far-right Bolsonaro will test the limits of Brazilian democracy this week. Okay.

00:14:15.220 Because he's a far-right guy. And he undermines democracy because most of the people voted for him.

00:14:20.320 So when most of the people of the Demos votes for the right winger, that undermines democracy.

00:14:27.760 Because democracy is when the liberals win, even if no one wants them to win.

00:14:31.280 Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro has called for mass protests on September 7th,

00:14:38.500 a month ahead of the election. He's desperately sought to undermine.

00:14:43.120 Okay, hold on. So he's a threat to democracy for what? For two reasons.

00:14:48.320 Because he is right-wing. So even when the people overwhelmingly support him,

00:14:53.260 he's right-wing. So that undermines democracy. And because he's calling for protests. But wait,

00:14:56.900 wait, wait, wait. I was told, I was reliably informed that protests are a great expression

00:15:02.880 of democracy. That's the power to the people, isn't it? Can you think of a political party

00:15:09.880 that has called for mass protests in the lead up to an election and that encouraged them,

00:15:16.400 even while at the same time they were telling all of their political opponents to stay at home

00:15:21.300 and not go out? Because that was a threat not only to democracy, but to public health.

00:15:25.640 Can you think of a political party that said, hey, you, my opponents, if you even go outside your door,

00:15:32.060 you're a murderer. If you go to church, if you go to work, if you go do anything outside,

00:15:37.320 you're a murderer, you're a threat to public health. But you, my political allies, we need you

00:15:42.740 to take to the streets for eight months and not only protest, but burn down businesses, attack

00:15:47.020 courthouses, riot, loot, rape, murder, all in the lead up to the election. Can you think of a

00:15:55.360 political party? Because that's not what Bolsonaro is doing. He's just, he's just said on one day you

00:15:59.440 should, you should go out and protest. Pretty modest stuff for a democracy. But I can think of

00:16:05.480 another political party that encouraged eight months of protests in the lead up, but that it's okay when

00:16:11.200 the Democrats do it because the Democrats have to win every time. In fact, the only legitimate

00:16:16.380 elections are the elections that the Democrats win. And when the people vote for the Republicans,

00:16:22.060 that's a threat to democracy. That's not legitimate. Because to have a democracy,

00:16:26.500 we have to have a totalitarian one party rule. That's what they're saying.

00:16:30.120 Speaking of those protesters, you know, BLM is a social movement. Yes, I'm sure some of the people

00:16:37.780 who are involved, at least at the lower levels of BLM, actually believe the kind of party line.

00:16:44.140 At the top levels of BLM, it has always been a grift. It has always been a con. It has always

00:16:51.060 been a political, you scratch my back, I scratch your back kind of operation. And we saw this when

00:16:58.800 Patrice Cullors, one of the co-founders of BLM, was caught embezzling millions of dollars and buying

00:17:05.200 herself all sorts of nice mansions in California. That's when BLM rebranded from Black Lives Matter to

00:17:10.360 buy large mansions. We saw this in all sorts of financial mismanagement. Even other members of

00:17:17.460 the BLM organization were getting angry at the National BLM Group for stealing the money. You

00:17:21.920 saw the people around George Floyd, like George Floyd's roommates, for instance. They said, look,

00:17:26.100 we never got a penny from BLM. They never even paid off George's bills. These are people who never

00:17:30.700 met George Floyd who were just making millions of dollars from this. Well, now another BLM leader

00:17:35.200 is being sued for stealing allegedly $10 million. This is a top leader in the Black Lives Matter

00:17:44.640 Global Network Foundation, accused in a lawsuit of stealing $10 million through a scheme of fraud

00:17:52.200 and misrepresentation. This lawsuit was filed by another BLM group, BLM Grassroots, and it accused

00:18:02.540 Shalomia Bowers, which is one of the national group's three members on the board of directors,

00:18:08.720 of stealing the $10 million for personal use. Okay, so now what you have in this lawsuit

00:18:13.840 is not one group seeking justice and another just one bad apple, kind of spoiling the whole group.

00:18:23.140 No, you just have two rich political operations fighting over money. This is like when a law firm

00:18:31.560 breaks up and they all sue each other over money or any kind of company when they break up and they're

00:18:35.500 all just trying to get as much money as they can. That's really what this is about. And that's what

00:18:38.940 BLM has been about from the very beginning. And that's what all of these liberal groups are largely

00:18:45.060 about. How does it keep going? The libs in America believe such insane stuff that the vast majority of

00:18:53.120 reasonable people do not believe. They believe that boys can be girls. They believe that white people

00:18:57.980 are evil. They believe that we should kill all the babies. They believe all sorts of it. They

00:19:03.680 believe that we need completely open borders. They believe things that just, obviously I think that's

00:19:08.200 wrong just as an objective fact to believe those things. But if you look at polls, the vast majority

00:19:13.400 of Americans do not agree with these radical liberal groups. So then how do they keep going?

00:19:18.100 The way that they keep going is not because of the passion of the true believers. The way they keep

00:19:22.100 going is because there are financial incentives for them to keep going. Because it's a massive

00:19:26.940 power structure that the libs have constructed that works in tandem with its various components.

00:19:33.880 The Democrat Party works in tandem with the liberal power centers in the bureaucracy, in the deep state.

00:19:40.460 They work together with the militia down on the ground. The militia wing of the Democratic Party,

00:19:46.440 of the liberal establishment, is BLM, is Antifa. And so they go out there. They encourage these guys to

00:19:51.820 go riot and burn things down. And they promise them you're not going to get in trouble if you do it.

00:19:55.800 And then they don't get in trouble. They get their charges dropped. They actually get paid to go do

00:19:59.200 it. BLM made tens of millions, almost $100 million. Why? Because they burned the country down. That's

00:20:05.160 why. Because they did the bidding of the liberal establishment. Because it created more chaos. It

00:20:09.380 created more of an opportunity for the libs to take power. It raised all sorts of questions in the

00:20:14.280 lead up to the 2020 election. It intimidated conservative voters. And on and on and on. The libs have a huge,

00:20:22.260 very well-oiled apparatus. It's so much bigger than the Democrat Party. I was thinking about this when I had the

00:20:29.720 misfortune of watching a clip from The View the other day. The liberal power apparatus is so robust, they even

00:20:37.840 have their fake conservatives. I was listening to the new fake conservative on The View is this woman named Alyssa

00:20:43.760 Griffin. And she was the one who was just hired. And she was supposed to, I guess she worked for Donald Trump

00:20:50.260 briefly. And she's, you know, gonna give some balance to the network, except that Alyssa Griffin

00:20:55.620 is just a liberal. She's just a liberal who puts on a clown nose and pretends to be a conservative.

00:21:00.140 Listen to the way that Alyssa Griffin talks about her fellow conservatives and the most prominent

00:21:05.820 conservative politician in the country. They will twist and he will twist everything around so then

00:21:11.360 everything comes back to him. My only counterpoint is this. So I actually agreed with the substance of his

00:21:16.620 speech about democracy. And there's polling from NBC, 57% of Americans think the threat to democracy

00:21:22.320 is one of the most important things the nation's facing. I take a little bit of issue with him

00:21:26.720 broadly applying the term semi-fascist to Republicans. Do I think Donald Trump's semi-fascist?

00:21:31.240 To MAGA Republicans.

00:21:32.040 To MAGA Republicans.

00:21:32.660 Okay, be specific.

00:21:33.400 Okay, that's true.

00:21:34.060 Right.

00:21:34.360 I think Donald Trump is. I think the vast majority of his supporters are not. I think they are good people

00:21:39.580 who want an economy that works for them, who saw more money in their paycheck under Donald Trump.

00:21:43.700 And my fear is this. I think Biden wants to be a uniter, but I don't think that that speech was

00:21:49.000 uniting. That's the conservative on this show. And look, no one watches this show. I doubt anybody

00:21:57.080 who watches or listens to my show or to The Daily Wire or to Dan Bongino or to The Blaze or to Tucker

00:22:03.740 Carlson or any of the kind of conservatives. I doubt that anyone of those people, you people,

00:22:09.060 listens or watches The View. But The View is on network TV. Okay, The View still racks up pretty

00:22:15.320 big numbers for people who just have the TV on in the background. You don't even need a cable

00:22:19.380 subscription. And this is what they're hearing. This is the conservative point of view. Donald

00:22:23.340 Trump is a fascist. Many of his supporters are fascists, but maybe most of them aren't fascists.

00:22:30.740 That's it. And Joe Biden wants to be a uniter. He just fell a little short of the mark

00:22:34.940 in the Biden Hall push speech in front of the dark, ominous red backdrop where he called half

00:22:40.760 the country illegitimate and evil and a threat to democracy. He just could have been a little bit

00:22:46.420 more of a uniter. Really sad. This woman who no one had ever heard of before and now only some people

00:22:52.560 have heard of. This was her best shot at money and celebrity. For sure, this was her best shot.

00:23:00.480 I even realized I got her name wrong. Her name is Alyssa Farah Griffin. Though I think women don't

00:23:06.260 get three names. No, three names is, it's too much. Okay, and it's usually the lib women who want to

00:23:13.040 have three names like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Sometimes it's conservative women like Amy Coney Barrett.

00:23:18.660 But no, I'm sorry, you only get two names. That's the way it goes. Christine Blasey Ford,

00:23:23.360 I don't know. No, you get two. It's Christine Ford, it's Alyssa Griffin. Okay, so this was this

00:23:27.320 woman's best shot at celebrity and money and she took it. Okay, I hope it was worth it. I don't

00:23:32.820 think it's worth it. I don't think it's worth it at all. But there's just so much pressure

00:23:36.740 to be this woman. She worked for Trump briefly and she thought, okay, if I ever want to have a

00:23:40.780 mainstream career, if I ever want to not be ostracized and de-platformed and kicked out of

00:23:45.860 society, I've got to call, I've got to tow the one party line. I've got to call conservatives,

00:23:50.960 fascists. Maybe I can say not all of them are fascists, but I have to do that. It's why I can't get

00:23:55.640 riled up when the anti-Trump conservatives, the squishy conservatives, when the people come out

00:24:02.180 and say, no, well, Trump really, he's bad. He said some things he shouldn't have said. I can't get

00:24:06.160 riled up. Trump, he upset norms and standards. Yeah, no, not even, he didn't do, Donald Trump on

00:24:12.600 his absolute worst day, when he's indulging his absolute worst instincts, has not done one

00:24:19.480 ten thousandth of the destructive sort of things that the Democrats have done. And so I'm sorry,

00:24:26.020 I just, I just can't get riled up about it. He questioned the results of the election. Yeah,

00:24:30.260 he didn't, he didn't question the results of the election. One hundred thousandth as much

00:24:36.640 as the Democrats have in recent decades. And by the way, they rigged the election.

00:24:41.640 Are we allowed to say that yet? Yeah, they rigged the thing. They changed all the rules before the

00:24:45.260 election. So no, I'm sorry, I can't get riled up. I cannot be that woman. I can't be that woman on

00:24:49.780 The View. I guess I'm going to stick on this show. I'm not going to get a job on The View.

00:24:53.120 You shouldn't either. Do not be that woman.

00:25:33.100 I cannot get riled up about all the excesses of the Republicans, and maybe, you know, maybe Trump

00:25:41.100 shouldn't have said that, and that was kind of bad, and they should, well, listen, we just need a-

00:25:44.560 I can't get that riled up when I read a poll that one in four Democrat voters think that men can get

00:25:50.820 pregnant. That's a real number. This is a survey conducted by WPA Intelligence, ran August 22nd,

00:26:00.500 August 25th, found a full 22% of Democrats agree with the statement, some men can get pregnant.

00:26:10.200 This percentage rose dramatically when the poll only included women. And then when you narrowed in even

00:26:20.260 further, a shocking 36%, more than one in three white college-educated female Democrats agree with

00:26:29.760 the statement, some men can get pregnant. You can't talk to me about Trump's tweets, okay?

00:26:40.420 You can't talk to me about how, well, you know, listen, he's kind of divisive, you know, and he

00:26:47.340 raised some questions about the 2020 election, and I don't know if I totally agree with his trade policy,

00:26:52.920 and it will just, it might be kind of hard to support him, you know? He's so brash.

00:27:00.120 The options for people to lead your country are that that guy, the guy who's like kind of brash,

00:27:08.280 and maybe you don't agree with all of his trade policies or whatever, and yeah, he's, you know,

00:27:11.860 he's kind of raised some questions about the way the liberals rule things. Or the people who believe

00:27:17.500 that men can get pregnant, that's, that's not, if you, if you, when presented with those choices,

00:27:27.500 if you don't know which one to vote for, you're not a serious person, okay? Forget you're not a

00:27:32.860 serious conservative. You're not a serious person. If you are seriously, forget about also the party

00:27:38.640 that wants to kill the babies, and the party that wants to flood the country with foreign nationals,

00:27:43.640 and the party that wants to destroy the economy, forget all of that. The party that says one in four

00:27:48.600 or one in three voters, when you narrow in on the white college educated women, say that men can

00:27:54.740 get pregnant. I'm sorry. You're not, you're not a serious person if you, if you do that. And I say

00:28:00.400 those are the choices because Donald Trump is 40 points up in the polls for 2024. He says that he is

00:28:07.120 going to run for president. He's, he's all but officially declared that. And he's all but officially

00:28:13.100 said that he will run even if they throw him in prison, okay? It seems like nothing is going to

00:28:17.180 stop this guy from running. And so it just seems to me as a matter of political fact, he, he is the

00:28:22.620 alternative. It's Trump or Biden or whoever follows Biden if Biden can't run. But there are other people

00:28:29.060 who are suggesting that they would like to run for president. One of whom would be Ron DeSantis. Ron

00:28:34.340 DeSantis running for governor in Florida just ran a political ad that is getting a ton of excellent

00:28:40.760 reaction, not only from conservatives, but even some liberals are admitting this is a good ad.

00:28:46.580 Ladies and gentlemen, Governor Ron DeSantis. Today we deliver for the people of Florida yet again.

00:28:54.580 You saved our jobs. And kept us going. They tried to shut us down, but you saved our business.

00:29:02.100 $1,000 bonuses. You had our backs. And honored our service. You led by facts, not fear. And you let us

00:29:10.060 decide. You let me go to school. You gave me a voice. You put us first. And didn't let them keep

00:29:16.400 us apart. You let us learn. You let us compete. All of us. You protected our right to worship

00:29:25.520 together in person. And you raised our pay. You protected our waters. And kept Florida beautiful.

00:29:32.360 When they attacked you, you didn't pay. You stood strong for Florida. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

00:29:37.660 you, Governor. Gracias, Governor DeSantis. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Governor DeSantis.

00:29:45.840 It's a good ad. It's a good ad. It's almost like 5% to 10% too much. And I know

00:29:51.340 one, the only slightly negative reaction I had when watching it was that the guy in front of the church

00:29:58.000 who said, you let us keep worshiping in person. And it's nothing about DeSantis. I just thought,

00:30:03.200 oh my gosh, is this how far we've fallen as a country? That we need to run ads saying, thank

00:30:07.720 you. Thank you for letting me go to church. Could you imagine the founding fathers rolling

00:30:14.360 over in their graves that that's where we're at right now? The great conservative accomplishment is,

00:30:19.400 hey, you let us still show up to church on Sundays without too much harassment. And it is an

00:30:27.240 accomplishment. It actually was a major accomplishment from Ron DeSantis because so many other people

00:30:31.620 squished on it. It's a good ad. Why is this ad so good? Because the ad is all about, well,

00:30:40.120 it represents people from all walks of life, all in Florida, not in an officious kind of identity

00:30:44.260 politics way, not in a, you know, I'm the black, I'm the black Latina lesbian. Well, I'm the, you know,

00:30:51.400 quadriplegic, Hispanic, transsexual, pansexual, and I'm the representative of this group. No,

00:30:58.560 the groups that are being represented are, are teachers, are first responders, are parents,

00:31:06.120 are business owners, are, right? It's, it's, it's much, much broader than just the kind of racial or

00:31:11.340 sexual identity politics. But the real strength of the ad is the ad is all about, hey, you did this.

00:31:18.780 You did this. You did that. You did this. You did that. It's all actual accomplishments. I was up

00:31:27.460 visiting my grandmother over the weekend and she just had the TV on kind of in the background. We

00:31:32.820 were, we weren't really watching it, but it was just kind of on. And I don't have TV. I don't have

00:31:37.200 cable. I don't watch the commercials that run on TV ordinarily. And so I see this ad and it must have

00:31:43.460 run, just in the day and a half I was there, it must have run two dozen times. And it was an ad about

00:31:49.300 the Democrats have passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which will lower costs, which will reduce

00:31:55.460 the energy prices, which will save you money, which will restore our economy, which will, will, will,

00:32:01.440 will, will. Obviously it won't do any of that. The Democrats outside of political ads that are geared

00:32:07.380 toward specific voting demographics, they don't even really call it the inflation law anymore.

00:32:12.140 They call it the climate law because the Inflation Reduction Act study after study showed isn't

00:32:17.800 actually going to lower inflation. It actually probably will increase inflation. What'll it do?

00:32:22.420 Well, it'll protect the environment now, or it'll do all these other nonsense things.

00:32:26.480 So the Democrats, all they have to run on is, Hey, things will get better. They'll get better.

00:32:30.680 Don't worry. Trust us. I know things got worse when we were ruling, but it's, they're going to get

00:32:35.400 better. And Ron DeSantis can point to actual accomplishments and say things did get better.

00:32:39.820 I'm not telling you they're going to get better in some indefinite future. They did get better.

00:32:44.660 I did things. That's a much more effective strategy moving into midterm elections.

00:32:52.880 The Democrats are really struggling. The best candidate that the Democrats are running this

00:32:57.620 cycle, the number one best candidate, he's running for Senate in Pennsylvania, and he's doing a pretty

00:33:03.480 good job against Dr. Oz. The guy's name is John Fetterman, and he's running as a blue collar,

00:33:09.740 working class Democrat. And it's a total bogus identity. The man's never worked an honest job in

00:33:15.240 his life, and he got paid 50 grand a year in an allowance from his parents to subsidize his

00:33:22.540 lifestyle. He isn't actually the guy that he presents himself to be. But even beyond that,

00:33:29.280 John Fetterman's in terrible health. He had a stroke on the campaign trail.

00:33:31.880 He's never answered questions about his health. He refuses to debate Dr. Oz. He can barely get out

00:33:39.160 a few minutes of speaking while he hits the various campaign stops.

00:33:44.380 I'm honored to be standing in the shadow of your amazing building. Do you think that the 10 homes Dr.

00:33:53.780 Oz have has a union hall across their home? If you say, you think the word of steel worker, what words come to your mind if you say steel workers? Of all the words that bring to your mind when you hear the word steel workers, does the word pretty come to your mind?

00:34:15.780 Does the word pretty come to your mind? That's not a word that's going to come to my mind.

00:34:23.060 So this is very, very sad. I'm certainly not going to make fun of the man for

00:34:41.380 talking like a stroke victim because he is a stroke victim. And he doesn't want to acknowledge that on

00:34:47.260 the campaign trail because right now he's the Democrat nominee. This is his shot to make it to

00:34:51.680 the U.S. Senate. And so he obviously should be in at some kind of rehabilitation facility working on getting

00:34:57.160 his body back in motion and getting his speech back. But he can't do that because he's on the campaign

00:35:01.060 trail. This is it. This is the election. And so they're going to prop him up for a couple of minutes

00:35:05.600 at a time. And they're going to try to minimize the political damage of the fact that the man cannot

00:35:10.240 speak. And then they're just going to try to use the weight of the Democrat establishment to force

00:35:16.020 him into Washington, D.C. And maybe then he will recover and maybe he won't recover. But it doesn't

00:35:20.360 really matter because either way, even if the guy were in perfect health, he just would have been a

00:35:24.700 rubber stamp for the Democrats. This guy is a radical, radical leftist. He said if he had a magic wand,

00:35:30.100 the first thing he would do in politics would be to let all of the murderers out of prison.

00:35:33.960 He said he wouldn't cure childhood cancer. He wouldn't solve world hunger. No, no, no. The

00:35:40.020 first thing he would do is let murderers out of prison. And so he was always going to be a rubber

00:35:46.040 stamp for the establishment, an avatar for the establishment. And all he can talk about now

00:35:51.040 is this kind of silly stuff about his identity. I live across the street from a union hall.

00:35:57.940 We're going to support the unions. I'm pro-worker.

00:36:03.960 What have you done? What have you done? What is your record? Reminds me of Ronald Reagan when he

00:36:09.580 was debating Jimmy Carter running in 1980. And Jimmy, Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer from Georgia

00:36:17.460 talking about all these pine in the sky, highfalutin sort of understandings about ourselves and who we

00:36:24.340 are as Americans. And Ronald Reagan kills him with one line. He says, here's the question. Are you better

00:36:28.860 off now than you were four years ago? That's all I'm going to ask. Well, he did it in a cool Reagan

00:36:33.040 way. He goes, well, are you better off now than you were four years ago? And the question cut like

00:36:40.160 a hot knife through butter because people looked around and they said, no, I'm not better off. I'm

00:36:44.060 not better off under Democrat rule. These Democrats who are fear mongering and saying that the sky is

00:36:50.460 going to fall if the Republicans take over kind of feels like the sky has fallen in on me now.

00:36:54.480 And you look today, 40 year high inflation. You've got an economy that's in shambles. You've got the

00:36:59.640 first major war in Europe in 70 years caused in large part by Joe Biden, even according to the

00:37:05.360 Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky. You've got 3 million immigrants coming into this country

00:37:10.800 every single year. This 2 million illegal immigrants pouring across the southern border.

00:37:15.680 It's just, you are not better off now than you were some years ago. And if you say it, you're a threat

00:37:21.620 to democracy, according to the libs. Those sweltering summer nights that leave you

00:37:53.660 As you know, as you know, I consider myself quite the sports connoisseur. You know, I put my knowledge

00:38:01.980 of, you know, my sum total of my sports knowledge, which is the New York Yankees from the late 90s to

00:38:08.820 the early 2000s. I put that to the test. I decided to join the Crane & Company Football League. Okay,

00:38:17.300 I've gone head to head against Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Andrew Klavan, John Bickley, and the

00:38:23.920 Crane & Company guys for the first ever Daily Wire fantasy football draft. Now, there's a lot

00:38:29.760 on the line here, okay? Because the winner gets like a nice gold tumbler. That'll be great. Okay,

00:38:35.500 you want, but it's really, you don't want to lose because the loser, the loser has to attend a WNBA

00:38:43.420 game courtside. Yes, the loser will have to, I'm not joking, this is real. The loser of the

00:38:49.600 fantasy football league will have to go and sit courtside at a WNBA game wearing a t-shirt that

00:38:54.580 says equal pay. So the draft airs tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central on Crane & Company's

00:39:01.620 YouTube channel. Make sure to follow our league throughout the season and support Team Knowles,

00:39:07.180 Team Knowles Stradamus to win the whole thing. Speaking of workers' rights,

00:39:15.020 not great news coming out of the Wall Street Journal. Turns out companies are cutting back

00:39:20.520 on maternity leave and paternity leave. Many employers are dialing down how much paid time off

00:39:26.800 they're giving to new moms and dads. And this is an issue that you're going to see a little bit of a

00:39:33.520 split in the Republican Party and among the conservatives between the kind of conservatives

00:39:38.880 who are reciting the same old talking points of, I don't know, 10 years ago or 20 years ago,

00:39:47.260 and what's called the new right. The conservatives who are shaking things up a little bit.

00:39:52.680 People like J.D. Vance, people like Blake Masters in Arizona, people like Donald Trump,

00:39:59.180 for that matter. Certainly the side that I find myself on much more, which is I don't think we

00:40:06.900 need to shill for corporations that hate us anymore. Republicans did that for a long time

00:40:10.460 in the name of a free market or whatever, and it hasn't served us very well. No, I don't think

00:40:14.780 corporations have the right to do whatever they want. I don't think that individuals have the right

00:40:18.920 to do whatever they want, no matter how destructive. I don't think people have the right to shoot

00:40:22.220 heroin. I don't think people have the right to chop their genitals off. Maybe the conservative

00:40:26.840 platitudes of 10 years ago think that, but what I think are the more serious conservatives today

00:40:32.280 are saying, no, you don't really have a right to do that. You certainly don't have a right to trans

00:40:35.580 your kids. You don't have a right to drag queen story hour. You don't have a right to any of that

00:40:39.920 kind of nonsense. There is more to life than GDP and individual autonomy. And by the way,

00:40:47.060 the more that this woke sickness infects our country by exploiting the platitudes of the free

00:40:55.820 marketplace of ideas and, well, the private sector can do whatever it wants, the more that the

00:41:00.420 wokeness virus just spreads by exploiting that weakness, the worse it's going to be for GDP,

00:41:06.040 actually. And the worse it's going to be for the economy and every other facet of our society,

00:41:11.080 okay? So we're saying, no, there are limits here. We're not going to do that sort of thing.

00:41:15.260 And you're going to really see it come to a head with childcare, okay? Childcare is insanely

00:41:22.060 expensive. It is insanely expensive. And so a lot of people, certainly if you're a single mother,

00:41:30.740 what are you supposed to do? What are you supposed to do? You have to have an income. You got to be

00:41:34.360 able to feed your kid, but then you got to do something with your kid all day. And so you got

00:41:37.580 to send your kid to childcare, but then the childcare is so expensive that you're going to have to end up

00:41:41.440 paying much, if not most of your salary to some other woman to raise your kid while you go out and

00:41:46.300 scrimping it a little bit of money so you can feed your kid at night. And this is true even for

00:41:50.420 married couples. How many married couples can support a family on a single income? Not very many.

00:41:57.100 And that's a terrible thing. Blake Masters is running in Arizona. It's what really got me

00:42:02.560 to be interested in his campaign, even back in the primaries. He ran an ad. He said,

00:42:06.760 I think that in America, a major conservative cause should be that you support your family,

00:42:12.240 that you can support your family on a single income. Absolutely. I think that would be great.

00:42:17.420 And I think cynical corporations have used the language of wokeness and feminism and empowering

00:42:24.580 women to force women into the workforce, to keep them away from their kids and their families,

00:42:30.440 and to drive down wages for everybody. I am a huge supporter of maternity leave.

00:42:35.660 I think that if a woman wants it, she should have 18 years of maternity leave or more. Depends on how

00:42:40.800 many kids you have. Okay. I think I'm with Betty Friedan, the American feminist who argued against

00:42:47.100 the French feminist Simone de Beauvoir and said women ought to be able to stay home and raise their

00:42:51.460 families if they want to. But in America today, usually they can't. It's not about forcing women back into

00:42:58.620 the home. A lot, if not most women, want to go back into the home and raise their kids and take

00:43:04.440 care of their family, at least for some period of time in the kid's childhood. And they're not allowed

00:43:08.480 to do that. But you used to be allowed to do that in the United States. It used to be possible

00:43:13.840 to support your family on a single income. This is such an offensive headline to me.

00:43:17.940 Companies are cutting back on maternity and paternity. What is paternity leave?

00:43:21.180 They're cutting back on the leave all the while they are increasing subsidies for their employees

00:43:29.820 to get abortions. Ever since the Dobbs decision, what have you heard? Companies are willing to pay

00:43:35.060 for out-of-state travel so that women can go access abortion-related healthcare. In other words,

00:43:42.620 let me translate that into English. Companies are going to pay women to kill their kids. Why?

00:43:46.360 Because it helps the bottom line of the companies. Because when the kids get born,

00:43:50.280 it costs the companies more money because the women don't work as much and the women don't work

00:43:53.520 as hard. And they're going to take time off and they're going to take maternity to leave.

00:43:56.660 And that's going to affect the bottom line. And when you think of it at a macro scale,

00:44:00.820 it's going to affect the GDP. And so, you know, it's worth it. It's worth the cost. Let's just

00:44:04.240 kill those kids. What kind of a heartless society, what kind of a soulless society does that?

00:44:10.180 And what kind of spineless, feckless conservatives would ever defend such a regime in the name of

00:44:17.620 the free market? The free market says that we, that the companies need to be able to force

00:44:23.760 everybody to the widget factory all day long so that the children can be raised at some clinical

00:44:27.920 institution when they're allowed to survive in the first place and the companies don't pay to kill

00:44:32.320 them. What kind of a weak, pathetic conservative movement would ever support that? No. What's the

00:44:39.660 solution to this? The solution to this is not more of the free market. Okay. I'm sympathetic to the

00:44:46.220 companies. I don't think the companies should necessarily have to pay for, you know, women or

00:44:52.400 men, I guess now in paternity leave to take months and months of, of leave time off. No, I don't think

00:44:58.840 that burden should fall on the companies. That's a political problem. It's a political problem that

00:45:04.500 we now have a country in an economy where women are effectively forced to leave their kids to someone

00:45:10.320 else and pay exorbitant prices and go work in the widget factory for Mr. Who, who cares what his name

00:45:14.860 is. That I have to pay, I have to go send my wife to work for some man so that the man can pay me so

00:45:22.160 that I can pay some other woman to raise my kids. That's a political problem. It's insanity. It's not

00:45:27.480 the way things just are naturally. That's a kind of new development over the last 50 years and we

00:45:32.320 should use our politics to change it, create incentives that allow women to stay at home and

00:45:36.540 raise their families and that create incentives to not necessarily punish the companies for that and

00:45:41.560 to stop companies from, from incentivizing women to kill their kids. We can do all of that through

00:45:46.800 politics. Okay. The people who say the government shouldn't do anything at all, ever let the

00:45:51.500 corporations do whatever they want. They're going to hate that, but that's over. Okay. If that's

00:45:56.100 conservatism, then we're not going to conserve a damn thing. Speaking of companies cutting back,

00:46:01.960 really sad story. The Bed Bath & Beyond is closing lots and lots of stores and the CFO,

00:46:08.200 Gustavo Arnal jumped to his death from one of the more prominent buildings in Manhattan. It's called

00:46:15.940 the Jenga building. It's a really hideous, talk about a dystopian place to commit a heinous and

00:46:21.760 disordered act. It's this truly ugly building. The point of it is to be ugly and disordered and not

00:46:29.340 symmetrical or beautiful. But this guy jumped from the top of the building. Apartments in this building

00:46:34.260 cost up to 50 million bucks and he jumped from it. It seems not just because the company is failing

00:46:42.740 financially, but it's also because the CFO guy was just accused in a federal lawsuit of a pump

00:46:49.680 and dump scheme of artificially inflating the company's stock. And my first thought when I saw

00:46:54.420 this story, obviously it's very sad for him. Pray for his soul, pray for his family.

00:46:57.120 It's so selfish, so selfish. Suicide is always selfish, but this is especially selfish is my

00:47:06.640 first thought. I haven't heard anyone talk about this. He could have killed somebody.

00:47:11.320 He could have, the guy jumps off of a major prominent building in a really populous part

00:47:16.460 of Manhattan Island, which is one of the most populated parts of America. He could have killed

00:47:20.720 somebody doing that, but he didn't care, which makes sense because suicide is just a totally

00:47:26.900 selfish act. So of course, you're only thinking about yourself when you commit suicide. Even if

00:47:32.780 you convince yourself you're thinking about other people, you're not. You're committing a very,

00:47:36.080 very selfish act that you have no right to do. Now we're living in a culture that encourages it.

00:47:41.880 We're living in a culture where assisted suicide is being legalized and encouraged throughout the

00:47:48.480 country. In Canada, they're expanding assisted suicide to children. Really, really selfish stuff.

00:47:56.140 Okay. And it's being permitted by the conservatives. It's being peddled by the libs because the libs

00:48:02.480 always invert morality. Whatever is good, they say is bad. Whatever is bad, they say is good.

00:48:08.220 But it's really being permitted by the conservatives because the conservatives are just throwing their

00:48:15.580 hands in the air on morality. The libs invert it, but the conservatives just look away. They say,

00:48:21.980 well, I don't know. I don't know. They don't know nothing. The conservatives are know-nothings when it

00:48:25.560 comes to questions of morality these days because they say, well, look, I have my own personal views,

00:48:32.360 but I would never force my views on anyone else. Who's to say? I think suicide is bad,

00:48:38.240 but maybe you think suicide is good. And so let anyone do whatever they want.

00:48:41.180 It's so pathetic. No conservative worth his salt would have ever thought such a thing

00:48:46.320 before 20 years ago. Now that's the sort of thing they say.

00:48:50.900 It's okay. Frankly, they're worse than the libs in some ways. At least the libs are engaging in a

00:48:56.760 kind of moral dialogue. And the conservatives are saying, well, I don't have any right to force my

00:49:00.680 views on you. Yes, you do. That's democracy. That's what democracy is, is you forcing your views

00:49:05.880 on everyone else and everyone else forcing their views on you. And there are limits to that,

00:49:10.060 you know, especially within our constitutional framework. There's certain points beyond which

00:49:15.000 you cannot go. But yeah, if you refuse to articulate a moral view and force your views

00:49:22.580 on coerced people, if you refuse to do that, then you're just saying, okay, I'm not going to

00:49:26.360 participate in our democracy, which is exactly what the libs want. That's what they're saying too.

00:49:29.780 They're saying you have no right to participate in our democracy. Well, the crazy part is the

00:49:32.940 conservatives are saying, yeah, I guess you're right. I guess you're right. It's so squishy.

00:49:35.840 It's so dumb. Don't do that. Don't do that. It's become so incoherent that some people are,

00:49:43.980 forget identifying boys as girls and girls as boys. Some people are identifying as frogs.

00:49:49.060 The rest of the show is continuing now. You don't want to miss this. Okay, this is Woke Wednesday,

00:49:54.340 baby. We're going to be analyzing a trend among obviously deluded people who they don't call,

00:50:03.940 it's not just a boy who says I'm he, I'm she, or a girl that says she's he, or last week we covered

00:50:09.160 people who were using God, God self pronouns who identify as God himself. Now people identify as

00:50:16.980 frog. And I thought it was just one kooky person and I wasn't going to cover it. No,

00:50:20.380 there are multiple people. It's now a pattern. It's now a trend who identify as frog self.
