Is Kamala Harris s running mate, Tim Walz, a tool of the Chinese Communist Party? The House Oversight Committee, as well as a number of Department of Homeland Security officials, seem to think so. And a clip resurfaces from a couple years ago in which Kamala explains why white people should get less disaster relief than non-white people when things like hurricanes occur.
00:00:14.140This is from the Oversight Committee to the Secretary of DHS, observing that the committee has conducted a government-wide investigation of how agencies are dealing with CCP infiltration.
00:00:25.720During its briefings with over 20 federal agencies in its investigation, the committee has learned of the emphasis the CCP has placed on influencing subnational government leaders, including state governors.
00:00:37.880Along those lines, the committee has recently received whistleblower disclosures informing the committee of serious concern among DHS personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz.
00:00:55.720Specifically, and then it goes on to list all sorts of documents, classified and unclassified, that Walz is named in, asking for those documents, and says that it will continue to investigate.
00:01:08.740Until you learn that, in his own telling, Tim Walz has visited China some 30 times.
00:01:15.740It sounds far-fetched until you remember that Democrats replaced their nominee after all the primaries because their old nominee, the current president, is senile.
00:01:26.900And they weren't able to remove the Republican nominee from the ballot or imprison the Republican nominee or murder the Republican nominee, even though they tried twice.
00:01:37.580It all sounds far-fetched until you remember that this is the craziest election in American history.
00:01:43.380And a Manchurian VP candidate from Minnesota would be par for the course.
00:01:48.640Though we probably won't hear anything about it during the debate tonight because, much like in communist China, our establishment media are little more than propagandists for the increasingly absurd ruling class.
00:02:01.660I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:23.760We have today a clip. It's resurfaced from a couple years ago in which Kamala Harris explains why white people should get less disaster relief than non-white people when things like hurricanes occur.
00:02:37.940First, though, folks, right now, take out your wallets, take out your credit cards, and go to thecandleclub.com.
00:02:46.000This is, look, I don't, you can give me your money, you can not give me your money, but what I'm telling you is you are going to want your home to smell like a beautiful autumnal apple orchard.
00:02:56.400And if you want that to happen, you have to get the Michael Knowles candle at thecandleclub.com.
00:03:02.480Our seasonal treat is the apple orchard.
00:03:05.500There is also, of course, the perennial, albeit specifically seasonal treat, the pumpkin spice latte candle.
00:03:12.840Mmm, it makes your home smell like a pair of Ugg boots and a North Face in the suburbs.
00:03:18.320There is, of course, also the wise man candle, makes your home smell like an 11th century monastery.
00:03:24.520There is also the old soul candle, the chem du la chem candle.
00:03:28.040There is the Mayflower line of premium candles in beautiful colored glass jars.
00:03:39.360The fact that Kamala Harris can even pretend to be a serious presidential candidate shows you just how crazy our system has gotten.
00:03:49.620Mike Cernovich made a great point yesterday on Twitter.
00:03:52.080He pointed out that Mike Dukakis, running in 1992 against George H.W. Bush, Dukakis, I'm sorry, running in 1988 against George H.W. Bush.
00:04:02.780Mike Dukakis was a pretty strong candidate who, as governor, let one guy, Willie Horton, out of prison for a weekend.
00:04:11.620And Willie Horton went out and committed a crime.
00:04:15.200And because of this, Mike Dukakis' entire campaign fell apart.
00:04:18.520But Cernovich pointed out, compare that to today, you have a border czar and vice president, who is now the Democrat presidential nominee, who has, according to immigration and customs statistics, presided over some 13,000 murderers in the country, convicted murderers in the country, illegal aliens, had no right to be in the country in the first place.
00:04:50.740So the White House Press Secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, was asked about this shocking number, 13,000 convicted murderers in the country, illegally.
00:05:00.080How on earth can this administration defend that?
00:05:36.280And it's been fact-checked by some of your colleagues here, by multiple outlets that has been debunked on what has been falsely misrepresented here.
00:06:08.940Hey, what about the 13,000 convicted murderers who you guys have let into the country?
00:06:13.800Oh, you're probably talking about the ICE data, right?
00:06:16.980The ICE data are data from the federal government.
00:06:21.300So Karine Jean-Pierre can't deny the data because the data are coming out of her own administration, saying 13,000 convicted murderers have come into the country illegally, and the Biden administration is basically fine with it.
00:06:32.960So then she says, yeah, well, the problem with those data is that they're fake.
00:09:06.780Because even if Corrine Jean-Pierre were the most articulate woman in the entire world, she would not be able to defend what is indefensible.
00:09:14.880And that is that the Biden-Harris administration have gleefully allowed 13,000 convicted murderers into the country.
00:09:25.040Or tolerate, I should be even more precise, have tolerated the presence of 13,000 convicted murderers who have come into this country illegally.
00:09:33.300And they've welcomed many, many more people, unvetted, to come into the country illegally.
00:09:39.040Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?
00:09:44.220That's why I buy all my meat from GoodRanchers.com instead.
00:09:47.880Good Ranchers products are 100% born, raised, and harvested right here in the USA from local family farms.
00:09:53.580Plus, there's no antibiotics ever, no added hormones, and no seed oils.
00:10:18.320If you look at the total returns and removal of the past year, that has been higher than every year under the previous administration since 2010, if you look at it.
00:10:30.160And if we're going to report something, a data that's out there, we got to do it in a way that is not confusing the American people and certainly not lying.
00:10:42.020Again, I really don't mean to be pedantic about this, but it is illustrative of the broader confusion of the administration.
00:11:26.040And yet, you have consistently and intentionally undermined perhaps the most basic aspect of the law, which is the distinction between citizens and foreigners.
00:12:47.240I'll stop beating up on this press secretary.
00:12:52.660After one final comparison, this administration in the greatest, strongest country on earth, freest country, most magnificent global hegemon country.
00:13:02.920We have been so degraded, and this administration is an example of how degraded we have become, that the White House press secretary, in her response to pretty basic questions from the press, sounds almost exactly like Charlie Day from Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
00:13:22.720Well, let's talk about the contract here.
00:13:36.180And I'll take that advice into cooperation, all right?
00:13:39.020Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victim.
00:13:42.440The reason the murderers aren't in the country is because it's in numbers that have been falsely misrepresented by data that has filibuster bird law.
00:13:55.320That's pretty much the response of the Biden-Harris administration, and it's basically the best response they could give.
00:14:01.520President Trump, meanwhile, has made a great point, a very important point, about the meaning, the deeper political meaning of the intentional disaster that has occurred on Kamala Harris' watch at the southern border.
00:14:17.120Millions and millions of people, 21 million plus, have been dumped into the United States, and many of them are murderers.
00:15:31.880When you welcome millions and millions of people into the country, and then you register them to vote in many cases, or at the very least, you put them on a pathway to citizenship.
00:15:40.860You try to give them amnesty at the soonest possible moment, and then eventually give them rights to vote.
00:15:47.380You are extinguishing the sovereignty of your country, the citizens of your country, who did not want any of that to happen, who are now having their votes watered down and nullified by the new people that you're flooding into the country.
00:16:02.660That is exactly what Kamala Harris is doing.
00:16:05.160You don't need to take my word for it.
00:16:06.940You can hear Kamala in her own words not so long ago.
00:16:09.800The idea that we would have a president of the United States that vilifies immigrants, that wants to build what I call his vanity project, a multi-billion dollar wall, which, by the way, will never get built, is un-American.
00:16:29.800But we're not going to get that out of this president.
00:16:32.000What we're not going to get out of this president is someone who approaches people who are fleeing the murder capitals of the world and does what is reflective of American values, which is to understand the strength of our arms, to embrace people who are fleeing harm.
00:16:47.120No, that's not what this president does.
00:16:49.060They arrive at our border, and he says, go back to where you came from.
00:16:53.500That is not reflective of the values of who we are as Americans.
00:16:56.960And that's what informs my perspective on what he is doing on this issue and so many others.
00:17:10.360We can't have any mechanism to keep people out of the country when they're not supposed to be here.
00:17:13.980And for the people who did make it in illegally, the many, many millions of people who have made it in illegally, we need to make them citizens.
00:17:20.580And then she says, because that's who we are.
00:17:22.380But then my question to her is, well, who are we?
00:17:24.640You are saying that there is no distinction between us and everybody else.
00:17:30.320There's no distinction between America and countries that are not America.
00:17:50.960The very fact that Kamala wants us to be some kind of special country that isn't allowed to enforce its own rules, isn't allowed to have its own identity, isn't allowed to be sovereign, to have its own sovereignty, is undermined.
00:18:06.940The notion that America is distinct is undermined by the very policies she's advocating.
00:18:15.000This is why she's changed her tune about it on the campaign trail.
00:18:18.660In fact, you saw in a Kamala Harris campaign ad, she stole footage of Trump's wall, which she said will not be built, would be horrible if it would be built, and won't work anyway.
00:18:28.400But now when she's running for re-election, she's, or is it re-election?
00:18:33.740I guess she's sort of the incumbent, she's sort of not the incumbent.
00:18:36.120But as she's running, she's stealing footage of Trump's wall because she knows walls are popular, people know that walls work, and people do want America to be sovereign.
00:18:45.920And that woman has betrayed her country.
00:18:48.260As vice president, certainly, as borders are certainly, and even before that, she has betrayed her country by undermining the sovereignty of her own country.
00:18:58.400Meanwhile, President Trump has just met, speaking of foreigners, has just met with one of the most famous foreigners in the world, Vladimir Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine.
00:19:12.180And the meeting was very good news for Donald Trump.
00:19:14.660It was kind of funny to watch how unpleasant Zelensky found the whole affair.
00:23:00.380But he thinks that Trump might win, and so he's got to get on Trump's good side.
00:23:05.280And even if that means that he's got to stand there while Trump talks about making a deal with Putin and winding down the war,
00:23:14.400Zelensky's got to just stand there and take it.
00:23:17.480Now, this is especially important as this horrific hurricane has just decimated towns in North Carolina, especially, but all over the southeast, including here in my state of Tennessee.
00:23:42.460And some people have wondered, okay, if you could, if North Carolina were just, I don't know if it were North Ukraine, if East Tennessee were Eastern Ukraine, well, then you'd have billions and billions of dollars of support flooding in there.
00:23:56.300But because it's just regular old American citizens, you don't hear much of anything at all.
00:24:02.560Now, why is the federal response, why is the Biden-Harris response to this disaster that is unfolding in the southeast?
00:24:19.980Kamala Harris explained why a couple years ago in a clip.
00:24:22.360She explained why it's so important when we think about disaster relief to give less of it to white people than we give to non-white people.
00:24:31.560It is our lowest-income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making.
00:24:48.900And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
00:25:02.860And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and do that work.
00:25:09.980Okay, a lot in there, a lot in Kamala's answer.
00:25:14.260The first question, I was playing this clip yesterday, someone asked, hold on, what's the difference between equality and equity?
00:25:21.000And the words really, you know, at a basic level mean the same thing, but the way that Kamala Harris is using them here, equality is a sort of classically liberal conception of equality.
00:25:39.880And it's not even communism in the sense that we all, you know, end up in exactly the same place.
00:25:46.280No, in Kamala's version of it, some people are just going to be given preferential treatment based on their race or based on their party affiliation indefinitely.
00:25:54.060But that's also how communism works in practice.
00:25:56.260You know, everyone's equal, but some people are more equal than others.
00:25:59.600Equality is a classical liberalism, and as she's describing it, it's a classical liberalism, and equity is communism.
00:26:08.360However, the deeper thing she's saying here is we're going to give more money to deal with environmental challenges, be they quotidian challenges, be they particular weather events.
00:26:20.180We're going to give more money to non-white people than we are to white people.
00:26:24.880The non-white people are more deserving.
00:26:26.420The white people don't really deserve much of anything at all.
00:26:28.940And not only is this what Kamala Harris thinks, this is how the system works.
00:26:36.680It's not just about Kamala or just about Biden.
00:26:39.440This is actually how the system works.
00:26:42.380You remember when Hurricane Katrina happened, now, what is it, almost 20 years ago?
00:26:45.940You know, this was the dominant news story nationally and maybe internationally for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:26:53.800You had the biggest stars in the world saying that George Bush, the president, doesn't care about black people, even though you had, you know, disaster relief all around Hurricane Katrina, all around New Orleans.
00:27:05.760There were all of these criticisms made about the weaknesses of the disaster relief.
00:27:13.140We're still talking about Hurricane Katrina.
00:27:16.280This hurricane just happened to white people in North Carolina, in eastern Tennessee and around the southeast.
00:27:21.800This hurricane just happened to them and nobody's talking about it.
00:27:25.140You hear a little bit about it on some of the conservative shows, maybe on this show.
00:27:30.380You hear maybe a mention of it in the establishment media.
00:27:33.640But it's nothing like it's totally incomparable to the response we saw to Hurricane Katrina because Hurricane Katrina affected black people.
00:27:43.700And this also affected some black people, but this hurricane largely affected white people.
00:27:49.400And Kamala Harris is telling you in her own words, it matters more when weather events affect non-white people than when they affect white people.
00:27:57.760We should care more about the non-white people.
00:28:01.400We should care less about the white people.
00:28:04.500So you don't need to take my word for it.
00:28:06.200I don't think, I'm not big into spinning all sorts of conspiracies, but I am willing to listen to what the Democrat nominee for president is saying.
00:28:15.480And she didn't even say this all that long ago.
00:28:17.060And you are seeing that playing out in the establishment media because the establishment media are nothing but the propaganda wing for the liberal establishment.
00:28:26.540That's their relation to the Democrat Party and to Kamala Harris, who's the nominee.
00:28:31.960And you might say that part of the reason we don't really see much disaster relief for the people affected by this awful hurricane is because we don't really have a president right now.
00:28:41.380Kamala's off campaigning and Joe Biden has no idea what day it is.
00:28:45.500The most embarrassing clip of the day, I'm sure there will be another one soon enough, is President Biden being asked his opinion about the Israeli strikes in Yemen.
00:28:59.720And here is his response to the Israeli strikes in Yemen.
00:29:03.820Mr. President, will you deploy more U.S. troops to the Middle East?
00:29:09.580Mr. President, has Netanyahu gone too far?
00:29:12.520Well, any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President?
00:29:19.440Go for the post-site, I've got seven strikes.
00:29:23.380Support the collective bargaining effort, I think they'll send them a strike.
00:29:30.900I'm almost left speechless by that response.
00:29:35.000What's your response to the strikes in Yemen?
00:29:37.600I think the longshoremen are going to get on okay if they just negotiate better.
00:29:43.880And then the both sides, he thinks he's sitting through talking about the port workers' strike.
00:29:48.720The longshoremen labor strike on the East Coast and in the Gulf.
00:31:29.300I'll be speaking on the one-year anniversary, which is an important date in many other ways, too.
00:31:33.660I'll be speaking about wars in the Middle East and the Crusades and should be a fun time over at UC Berkeley.
00:31:39.500However, Netanyahu, you'll notice, has done a pretty good job at it.
00:31:45.780I think even, I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day, who's fairly critical of Israel, who's a little skeptical of Mr. Netanyahu, who said, you know, the guy's very impressive.
00:31:56.340No matter how skeptical you are of Israel and the Israeli foreign policy, no matter what trepidation you have about America getting pulled into a war, which I certainly do share, this guy's done a pretty good job.
00:32:07.380He's gone in, he's completely decimated Hamas.
00:32:10.180He's then gone in and completely decimated Iran's other proxy that attacks Israel, Hezbollah.
00:32:20.880I don't know, the guy's doing a pretty good job.
00:32:22.860Now, regardless of what you think about that war, however, there is this strange paradox, which I keep pointing out.
00:32:30.580And it shows you, again, we were talking about in the early part of the show, how extraordinarily complex and bizarre this election is.
00:32:40.180So, anytime Israel is in the news, that is good for the Republicans.
00:32:46.160So, if this war escalates, that's probably bad for America, but it's especially bad for Joe Biden because he's holding the bag, which means it's bad for Kamala Harris because Israel's a wedge issue for the Democrats, which means it's good for Donald Trump, which means it's more likely to get him elected.
00:33:02.860And by the way, while Biden is not interfering in the Middle East and sending things to hell in a handbasket after President Trump established relative peace in the Middle East with the Abraham Accords.
00:33:12.640While he's doing that, Bibi Netanyahu's settling score is doing it pretty effectively.
00:33:16.400Unfortunately, all in all, I think this is pretty good, but it's complicated.
00:33:24.300We are going to hear, probably we won't even hear this tonight at the vice presidential debate because the moderators are going to try to avoid the topic of Israel as best they can because it hurts the Democrats.
00:33:33.740They're going to try to avoid Tim Walz's apparent connections to the Chinese Communist Party as best they can.
00:33:39.000And maybe J.D. Vance will bring it up.
00:33:43.440We are hosting a special backstage with pre-show analysis from Benchborough, Matt Walsh, Andrew Klavan, Jeremy Boring, and I would say most importantly, yours truly.
00:33:51.800Stick around for a post-debate breakdown with insights you will not hear anywhere else.
00:33:55.060The VP debate is tonight, 8.30 p.m. Eastern on Daily Wire+.

00:34:39.780And we will be discussing an extraordinarily misunderstood historical event, the Crusades.
00:34:47.120And the misunderstanding about that event is why we're very confused about a lot of things, especially in the Holy Land today.
00:34:53.840Now, speaking of politics, speaking of education, like over at Berkeley, there's a viral graph that is showing something probably many of us have seen anecdotally.
00:35:11.680These data come from the perception gap.
00:35:18.500You can pour through the broader study if you like.
00:35:21.700But the gap shows that Democrats have fewer Republican friends as they get more education credentials.
00:35:30.640Whereas Republicans pretty much keep the same number of Democrat friends, whether they are grade school educated or whether they have PhDs.
00:35:43.300The x-axis is less educated to more educated.
00:35:47.340Now, this is a little imprecise because holding a bachelor's degree or a master's degree or even a PhD today does not necessarily imply that one is more educated or better educated.
00:35:58.840But it shows you've got more credentials.
00:36:00.720The y-axis is percent of people saying almost all of my friends hold the same political views.
00:36:34.220They don't, they're less open-minded, which is ironic because they pretend that they're very open-minded.
00:36:37.800But also the other thing that this shows is just a raw political fact, which is that the left dominates universities and the professional careers.
00:36:49.940Because you, you become friends, usually just with the people around you.
00:36:54.760There's three kinds of friendship, friendship of pleasure, you know, like hobbies, friendship of utility, like networking, and then friendship of the good, a virtuous friendship.
00:37:04.500And virtuous friendship is not really predicated on geographic proximity or, you know, having lunch together or something.
00:37:12.540But the other two kinds, which are much more prominent in our age, which mocks the very concept of virtue and classical philosophy, those are dependent on where you are.
00:37:23.080And so the left dominates the universities and the professional careers.
00:37:28.060If you're a Republican, you end up in some lib school, which is statistically most of the universities.
00:37:32.100If you're going to have friends at all, a greater percentage of your friends are going to be of a different political persuasion.
00:37:39.620If you go and work at Deloitte or you go work at Goldman Sachs or something, just necessarily, if you're going to have friends at all, a greater percentage of your friends are going to have a different political view than you.
00:37:51.180Because those places, the universities are, what, 90% plus left wing, and the professions are probably about the same, Democrat versus Republican.
00:38:03.280So that's really, it shows you just a cold, hard political fact.
00:38:25.300But maybe it should inspire Republicans to attain power in those places where the Democrats start to become exclusionary.
00:38:35.440It looks like it's right after high school.
00:38:37.080You can't quite tell on the less to more educated axis of the graph.
00:38:39.660But it looks like right around high school, right when the libs start to, the libs don't control every high school in the country.
00:38:44.060Right around high school, starting in the universities and the professions, that's where they start to get their power.
00:38:48.300So maybe we should take some power back there as well.
00:38:50.640You want to talk about the bubble of the credentialed liberal class.
00:38:54.800An editor of Mother Jones, a very left-wing magazine, has just gone viral.
00:38:59.200This woman, Clara Jeffrey, because of a harrowing experience she apparently had on an Alaska Airlines flight.
00:39:05.640Her words, creeping Christian nationalism alert, Alaska air flight attendant, just wished us a blessed night as we landed in San Francisco to groans.
00:39:20.380Other adjectives that would have sufficed, great, awesome, fabulous, amazing, fantastic.
00:39:27.660As my roommate said, this ain't Montgomery, sweetie.
00:39:33.400Can you imagine that woman, this creeping Christian nationalist, this woman wished people a blessed night.
00:39:43.900I hope for this Mother Jones editor's sake that she never sneezes.
00:39:50.140Can you imagine how horrified she would be?
00:39:52.620Could be the case that multiple people around her would have the audacity to say, God bless you.
00:40:38.440Where the really dumb drooling guy and the really smart Jedi guy think the same thing.
00:40:43.320And it's the midwit in the middle who makes it too complicated.
00:40:45.840The drooling dumb guy is going to say, oh duh, kind of seems like these people hate God.
00:40:53.540And then the midwit is going to explain, no, but actually it has to do with an understanding and a developing conception of the separation of church and state.
00:40:59.940And the pluralism that is so important to our democratic society where you can't preserve the people of the separatist.
00:41:04.880But then the smart guy at the end, he just said, yeah, they hate God.
00:41:51.120So, you know, it's a perennial news story.
00:41:53.560But Just Stop Oil, this radical environmentalist group, has gone viral again for throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting.
00:42:02.900And they seem to target Van Gogh with some frequency.
00:42:06.500But here's what's interesting is not what they have done, which they've done many, many times and will continue to do many times in the future.
00:42:13.840It's how the crowd in the museum reacts.
00:42:49.700Now, in an earlier age, I think a more civilized age, those vandals would have been tackled as they were attempting to destroy beautiful art.
00:42:59.060But at least the crowd is expressing its disapproval.
