The Democrats have had it. They've had it, okay? The midterms are tomorrow, and you were supposed
00:00:06.940
to vote for the Democrats. But all the polls are showing that you're going to vote for the
00:00:12.920
Republicans, even after Joe Biden called the Republicans fascists, even after Biden said
00:00:20.660
that Republicans are a threat to our sacred democracy. You just wouldn't listen. You just,
00:00:26.500
you wouldn't listen. You still said that you were going to vote for the Republicans. So now,
00:00:33.240
no more Mr. Nice liberal establishment. According to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain,
00:00:39.380
you are getting one final warning. The president decided a few days ago that it was important to
00:00:45.380
issue one final warning on this issue to make very clear, to leave no doubt, that we have people out
00:00:51.980
are still peddling the big lie. People are now raising the issue of election denial in this
00:00:58.200
election. One final warning. One final warning. You better you. Listen here, you people. I'll say
00:01:07.260
it one last time. It's like a father driving in a station wagon with his kids in the back.
00:01:12.140
You've got one last warning. Don't you dare think about voting for Republicans. Who does this guy
00:01:17.380
think he is? One final warning and then what? If we don't do what they say, are the libs going to
00:01:23.260
sick federal agents on us? Are they going to censor us? Are they going to threaten our businesses and
00:01:28.280
our families and our constitutional rights? They're already doing all of those things. And now they're
00:01:33.880
just being more upfront about it. All that piffle about the rule of law and our sacred democracy,
00:01:39.880
that whole charade, is giving way to more naked threats and power plays. Because the people don't
00:01:47.060
like the powers that be. So if our liberal ruling class wants to keep its grip on power,
00:01:52.180
it's going to have to do so against the clearly stated wishes of the people.
00:01:56.740
I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:06.000
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment Friday is from Finn Benach. I might pronounce
00:02:09.860
that correctly. Probably not. Who says, I don't know why they wouldn't cheat this time since last
00:02:14.840
time they did and everyone saw it and they still completely got away with it. In what world would
00:02:19.160
they not do it again? The world in which they would not do it again is if they can't, if they
00:02:24.620
don't have the political power or the opportunity to do it. It is safe in politics to count on if a
00:02:32.720
political campaign and especially a left wing political campaign, they do do this more than
00:02:37.880
the Republicans do. Sometimes the Republicans do it too sometimes, but the Democrats are just
00:02:41.640
much better at doing it. But if they have the opportunity to cheat, they're probably going to
00:02:46.720
do it. Which is why the way that we uphold the integrity of our electoral system is not by
00:02:52.060
hoping, not only by hoping, it's not by crossing our fingers and saying,
00:02:57.740
oh, I hope it's okay this time. It's by putting procedures in place that make it much harder to cheat.
00:03:02.200
And what they did in 2020 was using the excuse of COVID. They just got rid of all of those
00:03:06.200
procedures. Since 2020, some of them have gone back into place. The Republicans, where they have
00:03:12.000
control, have tightened up on the election rules a little bit. But in some places, they haven't done
00:03:17.020
it very much. I'm kind of worried about Pennsylvania. Democrats run Pennsylvania. The
00:03:21.940
state Supreme Court tightened things up a little tiny bit. But I could still see a world where if
00:03:27.420
Fetterman is within striking distance of Oz, all of a sudden ballots show up in the middle of the
00:03:32.100
night in Philadelphia. So we'll see what happens. The only way, though, that we can reliably count
00:03:36.580
on the Democrats not cheating and rigging the elections is if they don't have the political
00:03:40.520
power to do it. Okay, we've got to protect ourselves. You got to protect your home. That's
00:03:43.940
why you got to check out Ring. It is a wonderful time of year. One of my absolute favorite times of
00:03:50.320
year, the fall, when there are so many wonderful things to enjoy. And not just pumpkin spice lattes.
00:03:55.160
The kids are back in school. The chaos of summer travel has come to an end. And you can get back
00:03:59.820
into the swing of things. But for many of us, autumn can also be a busy time of year with work,
00:04:04.880
school, sports, clubs, etc. You may find yourself away from home more often than not. That is why
00:04:10.500
I have teamed up with Ring. With Ring security products, you can rest easy knowing that your
00:04:15.820
home and your family are safe when you're not there. The Ring doorbell notifies you when guests
00:04:20.660
or packages arrive. Ring's indoor cameras let you keep an eye on kids and pets while you're away.
00:04:25.760
Ring alarm will alert you of any motion detection while the house is empty. Plus,
00:04:29.980

00:04:34.080
which is very, very handy. Go to ring.com slash collections slash offers. Two slashes right now

00:04:53.900
night on Tuesday, tomorrow night. They're predicting a bad night, which is why the excuses
00:04:59.760
are starting already, including excuses from the pretender governor of Georgia, the president of
00:05:08.200
the Galactic Federation of the Universe. I speak, of course, of Stacey Abrams, who is way down in the
00:05:13.840
polls. She's getting absolutely destroyed by Brian Kemp. And so she was asked on MSNBC,
00:05:19.940
do you think you can still win? And she said, well, yeah, of course, if the Republicans don't
00:05:25.800
We want to remind folks that election day is still on Tuesday. We've seen outsized turnout in
00:05:31.420
the state of Georgia among black voters. But we need to remember early voting was the beginning,
00:05:36.100
not the not the end. But we know that people turned out early because they understand that
00:05:40.660
Brian Kemp and Brad Ratsenberger put barriers in place, that they're going to be denied access to
00:05:45.540
food and water in lines that in years past have stretched up to four, eight hours. They know that
00:05:51.400
there have been more difficulties put in place for absentee ballots, that white supremacist groups
00:05:56.260
and hard right wing groups have been challenging people's right to vote. Up to 75,000 people have
00:06:02.560
had their right to vote challenged because of the law passed by Brian Kemp. And he did so because he
00:06:07.660
was frustrated by the results. He gets lionized for not committing treason. But we keep ignoring the
00:06:13.160
fact that, yes, you can deny the outcome of an election, which is what so many have done.
00:06:17.480
But it is even more efficient to block access to that election. And that's been Brian Kemp's modus
00:06:23.240
operandi. So obviously, it's all nonsense. But even just take the individual claims that she's
00:06:29.660
making. She's saying Brian Kemp is stealing the election by not providing people food and water
00:06:35.440
while they wait to vote. Do you think the ballot box is a Michelin rated restaurant? Since when do we
00:06:42.680
get food and water at the polls? I don't remember that. I voted in every election I could vote in
00:06:48.980
in my life. I've never gotten, yes, I'll have the steak tartare, please. I'll start with the steak
00:06:53.780
tartare. Then I would like to move on to a nice, I don't know, maybe an ahi tuna. Could I get,
00:06:59.080
thank you so much? Yeah, so just bring it back to me in line while I, maybe a glass of Dom Perignon
00:07:03.820
would be good too. No, what are you talking about? They're rigging the vote because they're not serving
00:07:08.180
you a meal. What on earth are you talking about, lady? Well, they're rigging the vote because
00:07:13.200
thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of Georgians have not been able to vote yet.
00:07:19.220
Hey, lady, it's not election day. What do you mean? What do you mean they haven't been allowed
00:07:24.160
to vote yet? I know that Democrats have rigged the election system to extend election day to election
00:07:29.360
months because, one, it allows them to push off debates so they don't have to stand by their record.
00:07:35.880
If people are voting before debates take place, then debates don't really matter.
00:07:40.020
But two, when you expand the window for voting, you open up the opportunity for fraud because there
00:07:46.440
are going to be fewer poll watchers. There's going to be a lot less oversight. There's going to be a
00:07:51.360
lot more opportunity for shenanigans. So she's saying long before election day, well, some people
00:07:58.380
haven't had their right to, first of all, people should not be voting before election day, period.
00:08:01.980
Rare circumstances, maybe you can have an absentee ballot if you're overseas serving in the military
00:08:09.100
or something like that. If you're truly disabled, you can't get out of your house. Okay, fine.
00:08:14.080
But no, we shouldn't have 75,000 people voting before election day to begin with.
00:08:19.360
Now, what we're going to hear from the left is, well, the Republicans deny elections sometimes too.
00:08:26.600
First of all, we do it much less than the Democrats do.
00:08:28.420
But second of all, we didn't just make it a federal issue for three years to talk about the,
00:08:34.480
how if you question the results of any election, you're a threat to our sacred democracy and you're
00:08:38.120
a fascist and a terrorist. That's what the Democrats have done. And yet the Democrats now
00:08:42.920
are preemptively denying the election. So it's not the same when the Republicans do it and when the
00:08:46.900
Democrats do it. The other reason that it's not the same when Republicans raise questions about
00:08:50.640
elections compared to Democrats is that the Democrats have pretty much all of the power in the
00:08:55.560
country. Even if the Republicans win a house of Congress, even if the Republicans have the Supreme
00:08:59.840
Court or whatever, the Democrats, the liberals have all of the power in the country. And the
00:09:05.320
liberals are the ones who've changed all the election laws in recent years. So no, it's not
00:09:10.600
the same. When Republicans point out that there's some rigging going on because ballots are showing up
00:09:15.360
in the middle of the night in Philadelphia and they stopped counting the vote and there was a
00:09:18.560
water main break in Georgia. And that's why they had to stop counting the vote when things were
00:09:23.000
looking bad for Joe Biden. Okay. When we point that out, that's not the same as saying, well,
00:09:28.680
no, that the Republicans are rigging all of the elections. How? I don't know because they're not
00:09:32.700
serving as foie gras while we wait to vote. Give me a break. Okay. It's not the same thing. And so
00:09:37.980
therefore, when the Democrats start talking about rigging, you know that it's much more likely to be
00:09:43.300
BS because the Republicans just don't have nearly as much power in the country. The other way they're
00:09:47.500
denying it too, this is my favorite one. This is my favorite New York Times piece that I've seen
00:09:51.420
in years, I think. So this was published November 6th, just yesterday, two days before the election.
00:10:00.860
Russia. Russia reactivates its trolls and bots ahead of Tuesday's midterms. Researchers have
00:10:10.440
identified a series of Russian information operations to influence American elections and perhaps
00:10:17.340
even erodes support for Ukraine. They love Ukraine. We'll get to Ukraine later. There the Russians are
00:10:23.920
behind it. There it is. There it is. When the New York Times was four years old and the New York
00:10:30.220
Times' mommy came downstairs and caught the New York Times with its hand in the cookie jar. Do you know
00:10:34.340
what the New York Times said? I guarantee you what the New York Times said was, no, mom, Russia took the
00:10:39.200
cookies out of the, it was Russia. And then when the New York Times was about 11 years old, sixth grade,
00:10:46.780
and hadn't done its homework, you know, the teacher said, New York Times, why didn't you do your
00:10:53.240
homework? And you know what the New York Times said? They said, no, no, Mrs. McGillicuddy, Russia,
00:10:57.840
Russia ate my homework. It was Russia. And now for every election into the future. Hey, Democrats,
00:11:04.360
hey, New York Times, why, why do you guys keep losing? Why do the people keep rejecting you at the polls?
00:11:08.060
No, it was, it was, it was the, it was the Russia. Okay. It's the Russia. You got it. That's right.
00:11:14.540
When, when the moment you hear Russia from the, the libs, from anyone in the liberal establishment,
00:11:20.700
you know, things are not looking good for them from the perspective of democracy, from the perspective
00:11:26.120
of the will of the people. So Republicans are looking great right now. Okay. I'm concerned about
00:11:32.220
Pennsylvania. I think Herschel's looking good in Georgia. The polls just keep moving
00:11:37.980
more and more in his direction. So I'm somewhat concerned about Blake Masters in Arizona.
00:11:42.780
Blake is still a little bit behind though. Carrie Lake is doing so well. The governor candidate that
00:11:47.580
I think Blake Masters, the Senate candidate might be able to be pulled across the finish line. He's
00:11:52.120
a great candidate. I really like him. I'm feeling good about J.D. Vance. I'm feeling good. I'm just
00:11:56.080
feeling good about the elections generally. So of course, when Republicans are looking really,
00:12:03.080
really good, we have to start infighting, don't we? When Republicans are looking the strongest that
00:12:08.940
we have looked, maybe in my lifetime, certainly since 2010, certainly since 1994, then of course,
00:12:14.580
the Republicans need to start sniping at each other. In the meantime, you are already seeing
00:12:19.700
something that's going to start on Wednesday. If you can think past tomorrow's election,
00:12:23.680
looking to Wednesday, Wednesday marks, not the beginning of the new Republican Congress or whatever.
00:12:28.460
Wednesday marks the beginning of the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
00:12:33.740
Donald Trump has already lobbed a shot across the bow at Ron DeSantis, who is his main rival right
00:12:40.660
now for the Republican nomination. Donald Trump has given Ron DeSantis one of his famed opponent
00:12:48.380
nicknames. Before I tell you that nickname though, I got to tell you how to look really, really good.

00:14:23.040
elections, Donald Trump is already starting the 2024 process. We finally have a nickname
00:14:30.860
for Ron DeSantis. Trump at 71. Ron DeSantis at 10%. Mike Pence at seven. Oh, Mike's doing better
00:14:41.320
than I thought. Here we go. President Trump was at a rally and he decides to take a shot
00:14:47.400
at Ron DeSantis. It's really, really interesting because, and no, I haven't seen anyone else talk
00:14:55.020
about this. This is the first time that I've seen Donald Trump pick a fight. Donald Trump fights
00:15:02.680
constantly. Going back to the Rosie O'Donnell feud, Donald Trump just will tear people apart. It's one
00:15:08.600
of the reasons why I think a lot of Republicans, including Ron DeSantis, might not run in 2024
00:15:12.240
is they don't want to just go into that meat grinder of a Trump campaign operation.
00:15:17.960
But Trump usually responds. Rosie O'Donnell started the fight with Donald Trump. The 2016 candidates,
00:15:24.400
he would wait for them to attack him and then he would just go nuclear. As far as I can tell,
00:15:29.100
Ron DeSantis has not attacked Trump yet. Ron DeSantis is meeting with donors. Ron DeSantis is clearly
00:15:34.080
getting ready to run for president in 2024, but I haven't seen him publicly attack Trump.
00:15:38.300
So the fact that Donald Trump is launching this lighthearted, but still pointed attack on Ron
00:15:44.300
DeSantis this early shows clearly Trump is a little bit concerned about Ron DeSantis.
00:15:50.080
The other thing that's interesting is you heard the crowd, they didn't erupt in applause.
00:15:54.600
It wasn't like a little Marco, low energy Jeb, Lion Ted. It wasn't, there you'd see the audience
00:16:00.620
would go crazy with that. You didn't see that with Ron DeSantis for two reasons. One,
00:16:06.380
it's not Trump's best work. There is definitely a better nickname that he can give to Ron DeSantis
00:16:11.180
than Ron DeSantis. DeSantis is just too fancy a word, I think. And the whole nickname is seven
00:16:16.980
syllables. I feel that's a little bit too long. You know, Trump could have called Elizabeth Warren
00:16:22.580
Foe Cahantas. That was the nickname that we were all joking about because Foe, because she's fake,
00:16:27.540
and then Cahantas because she pretends to be an Indian. But Trump didn't do that because Trump
00:16:32.320
rightly understood that Foe Cahantas is a little too fancy. It requires a little too much thought.
00:16:37.360
Pocahontas, everyone gets. That's funny. Pocahontas, everyone knows the Disney cartoon.
00:16:41.060
Everyone learned about it in school. DeSanctimonious. To me, it's a little too clever by half.
00:16:46.660
Now, Trump has played with nicknames before and gone with different ones. He started out with
00:16:50.360
No Stamina Hillary. Do you remember that? And then finally settled on Crooked Hillary. It was way,
00:16:55.280
way, way better. So he's got to work on it, I think, with DeSantis. I would be surprised if
00:17:00.760
DeSanctimonious lasts. Now, all of that said, everyone seems to have picked a horse in this
00:17:08.300
fight already. And everyone seems to have forgotten that there are other candidates who could pop up.
00:17:13.060
It's very, very early in 2024 for this cycle. We're talking two years out now. But everyone seems to be
00:17:20.140
on a team. I think I might be the only conservative pundit in America who isn't just frothing at the
00:17:25.680
mouth, ready to throw Trump overboard in support of Ron DeSantis or vice versa. I think I'm the only
00:17:32.780
one who's saying, hey, guys, let's cool it. DeSantis has done a great job. He's the best governor in the
00:17:39.300
country right now, maybe the best governor in my lifetime. He's great. Also, Trump is the greatest
00:17:45.200
president in my lifetime, and Trump got Roe v. Wade overruled. And yes, he had some help from
00:17:49.360
Mitch McConnell doing it, and obviously the judges. But the buck stops at the president. He did great
00:17:53.760
work, and I love Trump, okay? And also, there are other candidates, and who knows what's gonna
00:17:58.960
happen in 2024. But DeSantis has a problem here. And I think that gives me a little credibility to
00:18:04.880
analyze the situation that is already beginning. Again, I'm not pitting candidates against each other.
00:18:10.680
I'm not the one like the Democrats who was calling for this fight between Trump and DeSantis.
00:18:16.680
Trump launched the fight. It has already happened. I am simply observing that fact.
00:18:21.480
And I'm noticing that there's a trick right now for DeSantis. It could be a great advantage for him,
00:18:26.400
but it is a challenge nevertheless, which is that Ron DeSantis, his strength is that he is considered
00:18:33.280
Trump 2.0, Trump without the baggage, all the good fight of Trump, but with more political
00:18:40.000
discipline and with probably a more fully fleshed out, at least from an intellectual or philosophical
00:18:46.100
level, political point of view. And so he's just Trump without the Twitter fights. He's just
00:18:51.480
whatever, right? That's the argument. He's the bigger, better, faster version of Trump. Younger,
00:18:56.440
right, okay. Less disapproval points, okay. But Trump is running, or he at least is positioning
00:19:05.240
himself to run. So DeSantis' lane is as the anti-Trump candidate. So a lot of DeSantis' support
00:19:13.380
is coming from people who always hated Trump, who hated Trump in 2016, who maybe came around to him
00:19:19.960
a little bit, who maybe voted for him in 2020, but they hate Trump. And so they're looking for any
00:19:24.100
excuse to ditch Trump. And so DeSantis is the vessel for their support. And the fact that those people
00:19:30.000
support DeSantis, through no fault of DeSantis' own, that's just his role in the race, because of
00:19:35.280
that, the fact that people who are a little bit squishier, a little bit more centrist, are supporting
00:19:39.480
DeSantis, makes some people who are really, really gung-ho about Trump skeptical of DeSantis
00:19:44.280
himself, because he's got that kind of support around him. So this is a really fine issue that DeSantis
00:19:49.580
is going to have to figure out. If he can pull it off, if he can somehow manage to be
00:19:54.660
Trump 2.0, the bigger, faster, funnier Donald Trump, which again, very, very difficult to do,
00:20:01.260
if not impossible. But if he can do that while still keeping the anti-Trump support, then yeah,
00:20:07.420
he's the greatest candidate ever. He's united the party. It's guaranteed. But if you think that that's
00:20:12.140
just going to happen, if you think that Donald Trump is just going to let that happen, I've got
00:20:17.100
a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, okay? I just don't see it. And so then in the world where Trump is
00:20:24.440
just going completely hard, he's actually running, he's on the tear, he's ripping candidates apart,
00:20:30.320
then you're seeing Ron DeSantis, who is right now the main rival, being pulled in two opposite
00:20:35.700
directions. And he's going to figure out, have to figure out how to play that game. Again,
00:20:41.320
these are conversations that can happen on Wednesday, but we have to acknowledge Trump has
00:20:46.700
already launched the fight. And people are pulling their hair out because they say, why are you launching
00:20:49.680
this fight right now? We're supposed to have Republican unity. I don't think it's going to affect the
00:20:53.040
midterms. Ron DeSantis is going to walk away with his race. That's not a problem. And then
00:20:58.340
in terms of all the other races in the country, Trump and DeSantis are pretty much on the same team.
00:21:03.620
So I don't think it affects the midterms really at all. I think Republicans are fired up.
00:21:07.720
Republicans obviously need to go out and actually vote. It's not enough to just feel excited. It's not
00:21:14.400
enough to just feel good and support a candidate in your head. You actually have to go vote. If you
00:21:17.940
don't, then the libs could take it. Now, another issue for DeSantis, because in two days, we're
00:21:25.100
going to be talking about 2024. That's just the way in, well, they're probably still going to be
00:21:29.680
counting the votes in Philadelphia, but the rest of us are going to be moving on to the 2024 race.
00:21:34.300
Certainly the political class, they're going to start running. One issue for DeSantis is that
00:21:40.900
he's very strong on policy. He's very strong in person. His speeches are very strong. He checks
00:21:50.200
pretty much all of the boxes. His ads are not. Oddly enough, his media is a little weak, I think,
00:22:03.240
compared to his record. He just released an ad. This is kind of his last salvo before the midterm
00:22:09.860
elections. And it was this ad that was released from his wife's Twitter account about how DeSantis
00:22:14.500
is a fighter. And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said,
00:22:22.660
I need a protector. So God made a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn,
00:22:31.680
kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people,
00:22:37.760
to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness. So God made a fighter.
00:22:47.000
God said, I need someone to be strong, advocate truth in the midst of hysteria,
00:22:53.340
someone who challenges conventional wisdom and isn't afraid to defend what he knows to be right.
00:22:58.900
We can stop it. That's fine. That's fine. Get it? Get it? It's like the ad, God made a farmer,
00:23:04.760
but it's God made a fighter with DeSantis. Oh, goodness gracious. That is weak sauce, guys.
00:23:10.960
The production value is not great. And it's just a political nerd ad. It's an ad for political nerds
00:23:17.360
who remember a different ad. It's a play. It's just not. And it doesn't really highlight
00:23:24.040
DeSantis' accomplishments. It just says, he's a fighter, just like every other politician ever
00:23:28.200
said. It reminds me, there was another terrible ad that DeSantis put out about how he's basically
00:23:40.600
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is your governor speaking.
00:23:43.540
Today's training evolution, dogfighting, taking on the corporate media.
00:23:48.040
The rules of engagement are as follows. Number one, don't fire unless fired upon. But when they fire,
00:23:55.820
you fire back with overwhelming force. Does it say that in the bill? I'm asking you to tell me
00:24:01.980
what's in the bill. Number two, never ever back down from a fight. If I could complete the question,
00:24:08.620
though. So you're going to give a speech or ask a question? Number three, don't accept their narrative.
00:24:13.260
It's wrong. It's a fake narrative. I just disabused you of the narrative. And you don't care about the
00:24:18.360
facts. It's why people don't trust people like you, because you peddle false narratives.
00:24:30.040
I don't know who made this ad. I feel bad. I don't want to attack these poor GOP consultants.
00:24:36.520
But this is a bad ad. This is DeSantis. I love DeSantis. I love the guy. He's been a great
00:24:42.780
governor of Florida. And he is the only politician I know of whose ads make him look way lamer than he
00:24:49.580
actually is. But this is weak sauce top gov. You get out there in the Mike Dukakis helmet. Come on,
00:24:56.620
man. And so I mention all of this now because the 2024 race has started. Donald Trump is attacking
00:25:02.260
Ron DeSantis. If DeSantis is running for president, as he seems likely to do, then if he wants to pose
00:25:09.140
a credible threat to Donald Trump, he needs to up the dazzle a little bit, okay? He's got to up the
00:25:16.640
show business a little bit. He will be going up against one of the greatest showmen in American
00:25:21.340
history, one of the funniest, most absolutely captivating celebrities, certainly in modern
00:25:27.720
American history. And he's got a lot of openings where I think he could attack Trump and pry some
00:25:35.600
voters away from Trump. But I don't, this isn't going to do it, okay? And people really have to
00:25:42.500
look ahead. There will be no time to waste as the Republicans, if the Republicans have a good night
00:25:48.320
tomorrow night. And I'm pretty confident that we will. And we win the state houses and we win the
00:25:55.740
House and maybe we win the Senate. Maybe we win the Senate by a fair margin and maybe things are
00:25:59.260
ready to go. Then we've got to hit the ground running, okay? And we've got to get our priorities
00:26:03.820
in order and we've got to sort things out. We don't want a bloody primary to go on way into 2024. We've
00:26:09.640
got to figure things out, get the party in line, okay? And then move, move, move, baby. This will be
00:26:14.700
a window of opportunity for Republicans to get some serious wins, but not if we dilly-dally and keep up
00:26:20.480
the circular firing squad. Even with the infighting, among the Republicans, the Democrats
00:26:28.540
are just looking absolutely terrible right now. One of their last shots in the midterm election
00:26:33.680
was to try to exploit the incident at the Pelosi home as evidence that the Republicans are terrorists
00:26:43.380
and Nazis and fascists and it's a threat to democracy. And so you remember there was this incident
00:26:49.480
that took place at the Pelosi home. Nancy Pelosi wasn't there. Her husband was there. There was a
00:26:54.300
strange man who seemed to be a kind of nudist Berkeley hemp jewelry maker with BLM signs and
00:27:04.140
pride flags in his window who nevertheless was called a right-wing person. And he was yelling,
00:27:08.640
where's Nancy? And there was a hammer. And Joe Biden, the president of the United States,
00:27:12.420
gave a whole speech about this, insinuating that this attack is just evidence that the Republicans
00:27:17.100
are a threat to democracy. This was their real final pitch in the election. But the details never
00:27:23.600
quite added up. You're telling me there was no security at the Pelosi house? This guy just got in?
00:27:28.900
Seems unlikely. Possible, but unlikely. And then you're telling, they don't have security cameras,
00:27:33.980
so we can't see this. And then the dispatch, when the 911 call was made, the dispatch said that
00:27:38.580
Paul Pelosi said that he knew the guy and his name was David and he was a friend of his,
00:27:42.440
but he didn't know the guy, but he knew the stuff about him. And the whole thing
00:27:45.400
is just kind of weird, wasn't it? Well, it just got weirder because there's an NBC News report
00:27:51.420
that was up, a long TV report about the new details that have emerged in the investigation.
00:28:01.940
Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded
00:28:08.320
to the high priority call. They were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the
00:28:13.540
Speaker of the House. After a knock and announce, the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. The 82-year-old
00:28:20.660
did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home, but instead began walking several
00:28:27.260
feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police. It's unclear if the 82-year-old
00:28:34.240
was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources. According to court documents,
00:28:40.540
when the officer asked what was going on, defendant smiled and said, everything's good.
00:28:46.420
But instantaneously, a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePap strike Paul Pelosi in the
00:28:54.220
head with a hammer. After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi, who was lying in a pool of blood.
00:29:04.240
What? So the police get the call, and they say, they don't know it's the Pelosi's, but they get
00:29:10.180
the call. They know it's an important person. And then there was this question, who opened the door?
00:29:16.140
The police didn't bust in, so someone opened the door. Who was the person who opened the door?
00:29:19.800
Paul Pelosi himself opened the door, but he didn't run out saying, oh my gosh, there's this guy,
00:29:24.620
he's attacking me. Help me, officer, help me. He didn't even say, this is an emergency, come on.
00:29:29.060
And he opens the door, greets the police officers, and then walks back to this Berkeley nudist guy,
00:29:37.140
the attacker. And then they're all kind of chatting. And then the attacker attacks him
00:29:44.980
in front of the police. So he hadn't, the attacker hadn't attacked Paul Pelosi before the police got
00:29:52.480
there. That's kind of weird. And the whole, the whole thing is just raises way more questions
00:29:59.280
than it provides answers. And NBC News went on even further about some of these questions.
00:30:05.720
Investigators have previously said Pelosi did not know DePap when the 42-year-old broke into his home.
00:30:12.820
Why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear.
00:30:19.400
So even NBC News is there. This was not just some one-off reporter giving a little bit of
00:30:25.520
commentary on the air. This was a full news report where they even raised the questions explicitly
00:30:31.060
that are implied by the report. And then the report's gone. It's gone. You can't find that
00:30:37.040
video on NBC right now. They took it down. Luckily, we were able to get a clip of it. So it'll be on this
00:30:43.540
show until they try to take that down. It's weird. That's weird, isn't it?
00:30:49.400
Of course, they deleted the report. The police have said they won't release the body camera
00:30:52.480
footage. The Pelosi's are not going to release the home security footage.
00:30:58.020
So we're left with, okay, I'm glad Paul Pelosi's okay. All right. At the very least,
00:31:04.880
whatever occurred in the Pelosi home in the middle of the night, it is not going to affect
00:31:10.520
the midterm elections. It just hasn't had the effect that clearly Joe Biden wanted it to have
00:31:15.440
when he gave a whole speech about it. Pretty dodgy stuff. A lot of dodgy journalism about it.
00:31:21.960
There was a good NBC News report, but then it's dodgy that they took it down. Speaking of dodgy
00:31:25.440
journalism, would you believe that your beloved host, me, me whom everybody loves so, was just
00:31:32.740
recently attacked by the Southern Poverty Law Center? The SPLC is a leftist attack group. Their
00:31:41.280
whole job is to get us fired. It's like Media Matters, but they've been around a little bit
00:31:46.180
longer and they're a little bit more aggressive, actually, even than Media Matters. And they have
00:31:49.440
something called Hate Watch. And Hate Watch just did a piece that was on me. It was on other
00:31:54.960
conservatives too. I wasn't even the main object of their ire, but they did go after me pretty hard
00:31:59.200
in here. And I knew they were going to do that because I got an email from this guy who wrote it,
00:32:03.280
Michael Edison Hayden, months ago. It said, Michael, we're doing a piece. It's not really about you,
00:32:08.120
but I want to clarify comments that you've made on the air. And what do you think about trans women?
00:32:14.360
You don't think trans women should have the rights to, I don't know, do whatever, swim on the girls
00:32:19.720
team or go into the bathroom or whatever. So I get this email. I know it's a hit piece. I know this
00:32:24.300
guy's a radical leftist. And I know it's absurd. And I know that they have something called Hate
00:32:29.220
Watch and they're going to portray me as the worst person in the world. But I say, I'm going to
00:32:32.800
respond to this guy. And I responded with a, I felt a thoughtful, polite email immediately within
00:32:40.780
24 hours. And I said, dear Michael Edison Hayden, you keep using this term trans women. I'm afraid
00:32:48.560
I'm not familiar with that ontological category. If by trans women, you mean confused men who believe
00:32:55.280
that they're women. And you're asking me if I think that they ought to have their genitals lopped off.
00:33:00.480
I think that sort of thing ought to be discouraged. I think it's a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
00:33:04.840
The SPLC wanted me to clarify, do I think that genital mutilation of these confused men who think
00:33:10.940
that they're women, should that be only banned in the culture or should that be banned by the power
00:33:16.780
of the law and the power of the state? And I said, even there, I said, I'm even confused by that
00:33:21.060
distinction because in America we have self-government. So the idea, at least in theory, is that we make our
00:33:27.320
own laws and we set the standards that we want to live under within certain limits articulated in
00:33:32.280
the constitution. And so there's not a whole bit of a difference really between what the people want
00:33:39.220
to do in their own society and the state because America is supposed to have self-government.
00:33:43.940
And then I even had a little French at the end and I said to borrow a line and adapt it from Louis
00:33:48.080
the 14th. In America, l'Ă©tat c'est nous. We are the state in America. So I said, if you have any
00:33:53.560
questions, please write to me. All kind regards, all the best, Michael. So then he runs this piece.
00:33:59.520
He says, Knowles expressed hateful views of the LGBTQ plus community. Knowles is a pundit for the
00:34:07.640
Daily Wire and he used his appearance on a Newsweek show to say that he's within his rights to tell
00:34:13.700
adult transgender women that they're not women. And then he quotes me from the show and initially they
00:34:22.020
said, Knowles did not respond. And I said, this is just a lie. This is just a total lie. So I pointed
00:34:26.220
it out on Twitter and I couldn't find the guy on Twitter. The guy had blocked me. This guy who
00:34:30.020
reached out to me, he'd blocked me. But then finally enough people tweeted at him that he said,
00:34:37.020
no, no, I don't have the email. I don't have it. I searched my inbox. I don't have it. And he kept
00:34:40.600
using that phrase, I don't have the email. I don't have an email from Michael Knowles. And I noticed
00:34:44.600
that's kind of specific diction. He didn't say I've never received an email from Michael Knowles.
00:34:48.040
He said, I don't have it now. So what happened? It seems like he, it seemed, I don't want to be
00:34:54.600
uncharitable or unfair, but if I were a gambling man, I bet he did receive the email and he deleted
00:34:59.320
it. So then he can say truthfully, I don't have an email. But regardless, I have the screenshots.
00:35:04.080
I sent him my commentary. He still clearly didn't want to update the article. He had said, listen,
00:35:08.540
I always quote, in its entirety, the statements given to me by the people that I interview.
00:35:13.700
And so I said, okay, well, you have it now. And he kept going on. He said, I don't have the email.
00:35:16.980
I said, well, now you have it. Here it is. I've just sent it to you. You have the email.
00:35:20.440
And he wouldn't quote it. He quoted five words of a, five words of a random sort of analogy in
00:35:27.720
my email, but he wouldn't quote pretty much anything that I said in my email. He linked to it.
00:35:32.180
But he wouldn't quote. And I thought, why, why, why? I realized, I realized why this guy
00:35:37.760
appears to have lied about receiving my answer in the first place and why he refuses to quote my actual
00:35:43.900
answer, not just in full, but really any substantial part of it. The reason why is that
00:35:48.880
the libs rely on Republicans and conservatives being evil, awful, terrible people. We just have
00:35:58.100
to be the angriest, meanest, cruelest, most awful people in the world. And the thing is, we're not.
00:36:05.940
I'm not saying there aren't some bad guys out there, but conservatives are not. Actually,
00:36:09.320
we're generally more content than the libs are. That's why we're conservatives. We want to conserve
00:36:14.220
things. We're generally sort of more balanced. We tend not to mutilate our bodies too much and just
00:36:21.080
be angry and shrieking at the moon all the time. So the libs have to censor us. They can't present
00:36:27.660
the real conservatives. They have to censor us. They can't allow us to state our points of view.
00:36:33.340
The only reason that we could defend marriage, the only reason we could defend the difference between
00:36:37.620
men and women is just because we're hateful, awful bigots. But they can't let us explain why we
00:36:43.160
actually think these things, because that will be very attractive to voters. And what you've seen
00:36:47.940
in recent years, increasingly in recent years, is that the conservatives get past gatekeepers and we
00:36:53.680
find a way around and we present what we actually believe and who we actually are to the voters and
00:36:58.380
the voters like us. And that's why you're seeing a massive movement across pretty much every demographic
00:37:03.340
to the conservatives. And you're going to see that reflected. You've seen that reflected in the
00:37:07.800
polls already. You'll probably see that reflected at the ballot box on election night. And so if the
00:37:13.660
liberal establishment wants to hold on to its grip on power, it's going to have to become more nakedly
00:37:19.180
authoritarian. It's not going to be able to keep up the silly claim that actually the libs who want to
00:37:26.520
kill all the babies and chop off the genitals of the five-year-olds and erase our borders and wage these
00:37:32.660
wars of empire in the middle of nowhere. They're not going to be able to maintain the lie and the
00:37:37.380
charade that they're doing this because they're the voice of the people, okay? That is falling
00:37:40.820
apart. But the libs don't want to give up their grip on power. And so they're just going to have
00:37:45.320
to become much more authoritarian even than they already are. You know, aside from the beaver blood
00:37:52.220
moon solar eclipse that's happening tomorrow, tomorrow's also special, of course, because we're
00:37:57.460
having our special event called Daily Wire Election Night 2022. Coverage starts at 3 p.m. Central and
00:38:03.080
runs until 11 p.m. At 6 p.m., I will get together with Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Andrew Clavin, and the
00:38:09.600
God King with a lowercase g, Jeremy Boring, and Candace Owens to celebrate the moments as they happen.
00:38:15.500
We will be giving you live updates from the Morning Wire team, plus any pertinent social media
00:38:19.200
meltdowns from the likes of AOC and all of her friends. If that was not enough to get the popcorn
00:38:24.280
popping, we're also going to be joined by some very special guests. Get the election news that
00:38:29.460
you need to know in real time with expert commentary and a healthy dose of humor. Come
00:38:33.420
celebrate the incoming red wave with us. If you're not a member, go to dailywire.com slash
00:38:37.400
Knowles and join us today. Conservatives can be clear and firm without looking angry and crazed.
00:38:49.180
And I think very rarely do people on the right look angry and crazed. That's how the libs
00:38:54.080
portray us, but that's not usually how we look. Okay, usually conservatives are pretty fair-minded.
00:39:03.160
Obviously, because we accept natural law. We accept objective reality. We accept the difference
00:39:08.020
between men and women. We accept that babies are babies. We accept that nations have borders. We
00:39:12.000
accept all of these things that are just normal. Okay, it's not some far-right ideology. Oh, there's
00:39:16.340
another far-right ideologue. No, it's just called being normal. Okay, and the libs are not normal.
00:39:20.940
They're transgressive. They're subversive. They hate America. They're angry all the time. They're
00:39:26.560
howling at the moon. So obviously, if you put us on camera in a fair way, we're not going to seem so
00:39:36.280
terribly hateful. You just saw this with an interview between John Carl and ABC News and the Republican
00:39:42.320
governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin. And John Carl, he did his best to portray the Republicans as evil
00:39:50.660
and terrible and scary. And he said, you want to do all terrible, awful things like investigate the
00:39:58.000
You know, I'm hearing a lot, though, of talk about investigations, investigations of Hunter Biden, FBI,
00:40:04.160
all things Anthony Fauci, Republicans talking about going, you know, all in if they take control,
00:40:10.760
particularly the House. Is that really what you're campaigning on, to have massive investigations at
00:40:17.200
all? Is that really even, Youngkin's answer was great. He said, well, you know, we're going to do a
00:40:23.420
lot of things. We're going to, you know, institute our kind of governing agenda as best we can with a
00:40:29.340
Democrat president. But yes, yes, we are going to investigate crime and corruption. Is that,
00:40:36.040
what, are you, you're going to run on, on what, on investigating the Democrats? Are you, yeah.
00:40:43.400
You really think people want you to investigate the Democrats who shut down the economy for the past
00:40:49.740
three years? Some Republicans were part of that too, but Democrats mostly let it and shut down all
00:40:54.860
the schools and forced you to take a dangerous experimental drug or lose your job. And you,
00:41:00.820
wait, hold on, you, and lied about everything and called half of the country fascists and terrorists?
00:41:05.920
You think that's what the people want? Yeah, I do think that's what the people want.
00:41:10.500
I think the people want justice. And I think the people have been done over real, real rough over
00:41:17.580
the past few years. And I think that the people had to have their grandparents and parents die alone
00:41:23.220
in hospitals because of stupid COVID rules. And I think the people had their kids' education
00:41:28.680
severely hampered because of the stupid COVID rules. And I think that the people have lost their
00:41:34.940
jobs and their businesses, and they couldn't go to church for a long time. And a lot of it was,
00:41:39.720
was based on serious corruption from people like Anthony Fauci, people like the Biden family. I think
00:41:46.000
that, I think people are furious. And I think that's why the polls are so overwhelmingly for Republicans.
00:41:52.460
Republicans. And if Republicans don't investigate the Democrats, who have really been audacious in
00:42:01.220
recent years, and who've weaponized federal law enforcement to spy on the opposition party's
00:42:06.460
campaigns, and to undermine the Republican, duly elected Republican administration, and to hire up
00:42:11.480
87,000 IRS agents to go harass ordinary Americans, probably, especially the ones who have the audacity to
00:42:17.320
vote Republican, and to call parents who don't want their kids getting transed in kindergarten
00:42:20.960
and terrorists, and all the rest of it, I think people hate that. And they realize that if we
00:42:26.200
don't investigate that, and we don't have consequences for that, then it's just going
00:42:31.080
to keep on happening. If Republicans don't launch those investigations, I think it'd be very hard for
00:42:37.640
them to win the election next time. Yeah, it is urgent that we do that. What are the Democrats
00:42:43.700
campaigning on? John Carl seems to think that Republicans are campaigning on some silly issue,
00:42:47.260
like, you know, any justice for the criminals who destroyed our country for three years.
00:42:51.500
What are the Democrats campaigning on? Here is one of the final campaign trail speeches from Joe Biden.
00:42:57.380
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel,
00:43:05.180
and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter,
00:43:12.380
you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt,
00:43:19.740
which was the style at the time. Sorry, some of the clips got a little confused here.
00:43:25.160
A simple mistake to make for the producers. Here is the clip of Biden in one of his final
00:43:31.600
campaign pitches. And I know some of you are even seeing whether or not you qualify or whatever
00:43:40.800
you have. Anyway, I won't go into it. Sorry, you guys, you're not supposed to play the
00:43:47.180
Grandpa Simpson clip twice. Did you? Hold on. Maybe I'm just a little confused. Can you show me the
00:43:52.820
difference between those two clips? I don't know that I can. Which one is the real Grandpa Simpson?
00:43:59.080
Who's really wearing the onion on his belt? Which was the style at the time?
00:44:03.880
The speeches from Biden have become a real symbol for the Democrat Party's midterm campaign because
00:44:10.360
they're just completely aimless. They're aimless not only because Joe Biden doesn't know where he's
00:44:15.800
going or where he is half the time. They're aimless in that they don't even know what they're
00:44:19.200
campaigning on. Are they campaigning on defund the police or are they campaigning on let's get tough
00:44:23.260
on crime? You tell me. I don't know. Are they campaigning on destroy the American energy industry
00:44:28.320
or are they campaigning on drill baby drill? I can't tell. Can you tell me that? Are they
00:44:33.420
campaigning on open up the borders and flood the country with illegal aliens or are they campaigning
00:44:38.780
on no, no, no, we're taking care of the border. We're tougher than anybody. Which one is it?
00:44:42.520
I can't tell. And neither can the Democrats. So they're just completely caught between a rock and
00:44:47.560
a hard place. And frankly, had Joe Biden been campaigning on the onion on his belt, it would
00:44:52.120
have been more coherent and persuasive than most of what the Democrats have talked about this cycle.
00:44:57.620
You want to talk about symbols of the Democrat Party? There was a clip absolutely devastating from
00:45:02.120
John Fetterman out on the trail just a couple of days ago, campaigning as a strong wind
00:45:06.960
blew the American flags away. There he is. He's talking and then they just all, all the American
00:45:14.180
flags tumble down right before this guy. And he doesn't even, he's not even aware of it.
00:45:18.940
I guess he didn't hear it or he wasn't paying attention. It was right behind him. It was just,
00:45:22.820
it was a perfect symbol. Okay. And I'm a big believer in Providence. I'm a very big believer in
00:45:29.560
Providence. I think as my friend, father George Rutler points out, it's a wicked generation that looks
00:45:33.980
for signs and wonders, but it's a stupid generation that ignores signs and wonders.
00:45:37.860
And the world is just rife with symbols. And that's a pretty clear one. What exactly that
00:45:44.020
symbol or omen portends, that remains to be seen, but it certainly is not a good look for Fetterman.
00:45:50.040
That's very true. You just, we just have this sense. Okay. And I think it's people in the center
00:45:54.580
and people even on the center left who are looking at the Democrats who say, you know, these people,
00:45:58.500
they don't seem to like us. They don't seem to like us. They don't seem to like the country.
00:46:05.720
They don't seem to be very good at governing the country. And the country does not seem to be doing
00:46:10.280
well under their rule. And so then the one issue that they focused on in 2022, where they weren't
00:46:19.340
either complete losers in their policy and or torn between their radical base and what the American
00:46:26.380
people want, which are in contradiction with one another. So the one issue they've focused on
00:46:32.380
that they thought was going to take them across the finish line was abortion.
00:46:36.020
Roe v. Wade gets overturned by Dobbs. Okay, we're going to rally all those women. We're going to
00:46:40.160
campaign to kill the babies. And this is about how well it's going. Beto O'Rourke just released this,
00:46:45.520
this little Insta reel or TikTok or whatever the hell it was in his final push on his doomed campaign.
00:46:52.400
It's a woman dancing. It says a Texas woman who just wants rights and she's dancing slowly. And then
00:46:58.080
the creepiest dude you've ever seen in your whole life, Beto O'Rourke wearing that one blue shirt that
00:47:04.980
he owns, wearing skinny jeans, like some hipster, sexually ambiguous sophomore in college, creeping
00:47:14.240
up on a girl at a party. This is a pro-choice governor who's ready to fight for her. And he's just
00:47:19.000
dancing slowly. It should have been released on Halloween. So, and I don't mean just to pick on
00:47:27.120
Beto O'Rourke, though it is easy to do. Beto O'Rourke is every male feminist and every male feminist
00:47:33.220
is super duper creepy. Super creepy, super weird. The abortion issue was always a loser for the
00:47:41.600
Democrats. It's an even bigger loser when it's men campaigning on it. There's something really
00:47:46.300
creepy about, hey, I'm going to fight really, really hard to make sure that if women get pregnant,
00:47:51.580
we can kill the kid and I don't have to worry about it. I'm Beto O'Rourke. Hey, you want to
00:48:00.180
watch me, skateboard lady? Like, no, get out of here. Spray bear mace in his face or something.
00:48:05.020
Get out of here. Get away from me, man. Stop creeping up on me. It's very sad to think how far
00:48:09.620
Beto O'Rourke has fallen. He was an unremarkable member of Congress. Then he decides that he's going
00:48:15.480
to run for Senate. So he runs for Senate in Texas and loses. And then he runs for president because
00:48:22.020
that's what happens. When you lose a Senate race, then you can run for president. And he had all the
00:48:27.340
backing. He had all the backing of the liberal establishment. They loved this guy. There was a
00:48:32.360
vanity fair spread, this big vanity fair spread of Beto. And it was on the cover. He said, I was built
00:48:39.760
for this. I was made to be in this fight. It's all about me. And I knew that was the kiss of death
00:48:43.980
because I knew at that point, Beto is just a completely contrived thing. And this is why the
00:48:51.920
libs are losing right now and why they can't make sense of why they're losing because they're
00:48:55.440
believing their own press releases. Okay. And this is some of the best advice my mother ever gave me
00:48:59.620
when I was a kid. I was a little kid and I did really well on the test. And I don't know, I was
00:49:03.440
top of my class or something. I got a swell head. And she said, you know, Michael,
00:49:07.300
don't believe your own press releases. And the Democrats have believed their own press releases.
00:49:11.980
And they've really convinced themselves. I think a lot of them have convinced themselves
00:49:14.960
they really are the voice of the people. The Republicans really do pose an existential threat.
00:49:19.880
The Republicans really are the Nazis. The Democrats are the only four standing in the way of the Nazis.
00:49:25.200
It's the people understand this. They see it. And it's just not true. And people are laughing at them.
00:49:30.440
And they're laughing. The people are laughing at the New York Times over Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:49:34.420
And the people are laughing at the Southern Poverty Law Center over the pearl clutching at the
00:49:41.160
observation that men are not women and women are not men. And we shouldn't chop each other's genitals
00:49:45.240
off to think otherwise. And we shouldn't trans the kids. And people like borders. And people like a
00:49:52.860
good economy. And the Democrats, they're so locked in their own echo chamber. And they have that echo
00:49:58.660
chamber because they have virtually all the power in the country. The people, I think, still have some
00:50:03.120
say in it. And if the people get a little, if the people assert their rights, and if the people
00:50:09.560
assert their rights at the polls, and they express what they want for their country, you're going to
00:50:15.520
have to see the Democrats make a choice here. The liberal establishment will have to either give up
00:50:19.020
some power, give up some of what it wants to do, or clamp down twice as hard and become more overtly
00:50:25.260
authoritarian. This is what you see when Ron Clay and the White House chief of staff comes out and he
00:50:29.100
says, one last warning. Don't do this, people. I'm giving you one last warning. That's not just a
00:50:36.520
warning about what the Republicans will do in power. It's a warning about what the liberal establishment
00:50:40.440
will do if the people vote for their opponents. Now, it is Music Monday. So the rest of the show
00:50:48.760
continues on. We've got a great song, I am told. This was chosen by associate producer Jacob.
00:50:55.140
He's a rap mogul. Apparently, it's a conservative rap song. I know. I didn't want to, I know. But hey,
00:51:02.860
he says it's really, really great. So we'll check it out on Music Monday. I'll be chatting with you
00:51:06.940
