The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1587 - Libs ATTACK Trump With Their October Surprise

00:00:00.000 The Democrats launch in October a surprise to try again to imprison Trump. Melania comes out

00:00:06.420 in support of abortion and Kamala Harris loves, loves Doritos. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the

00:00:13.980 Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. Usually at the top of the show, I tease a story, a really important story

00:00:44.980 Kamala Harris loves Doritos. There's so much more to say. First, though, text Knowles to 989898. Harris's

00:00:51.940 economic plan is a disaster. Get ready for massive tax hikes, all so that she can add 1.00

00:01:57.420 significance than the Kamala Harris Doritos story is the new Biden prosecutor Jack Smith

00:02:05.320 October surprise against President Trump. Jack Smith, you remember him? He was the one who was

00:02:12.880 prosecuting Trump over trying to overthrow the election and the this and the that.

00:02:20.680 He now has a new court filing that is supposed to give some new life to his case. The Supreme Court

00:02:30.720 came out and said that the President of the United States has substantial immunity when it comes to

00:02:35.920 official acts that are committed in office. Smith comes out with a new court filing to say that Trump

00:02:43.180 was not acting in his public official capacity. He was acting as a private person when he tried to deny

00:02:48.200 the election and overthrow the results of the election. And okay, what does he say? When the defendant

00:02:53.580 lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office. With private

00:03:02.600 co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the

00:03:08.900 legitimate results in seven states that he had lost. Okay, so how is this being reported?

00:03:16.020 This is the headline you're going to see. This specific example is from NBC San Diego.

00:03:22.860 Make them riot. Trump election case judge unseals special counsel motion on immunity.

00:03:33.260 Make them riot. Wow, Trump said make them riot on January 6th, the worst day in the history of

00:03:39.260 the world. Wow, that's pretty damning, isn't it? Well, until you read the actual text of the article,

00:03:43.820 which says when the colleague, I guess this is a campaign colleague, suggested that there was about

00:03:52.840 to be unrest reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers riot during the Florida vote count in the 2000 election,

00:03:59.040 the campaign employee responded, make them riot and do it, the motion alleges. Hold on, when I read that headline,

00:04:07.440 it sounds like Donald Trump is saying, make them riot. But then when I read the text of the article,

00:04:15.240 which is referring to the actual motion filed by Jack Smith, it says it's just some random campaign employee.

00:04:21.620 And by the way, when he's talking about a riot, is he talking about the kind of riot

00:04:24.920 that you saw in Minneapolis or actually in the entire country during BLM when Kamala Harris was

00:04:30.800 bailing the rioters out of jail? And when staffers for Joe Biden were bailing the violent rioters out

00:04:35.820 of jail? No, he's not talking about that kind of riot. Was he talking about the kind of riots that

00:04:40.460 were threatening Republican politicians and conservative judges for years and years and

00:04:43.960 years during the Trump administration? No. He specifically is referring to the so-called

00:04:47.560 Brooks Brothers Riot, which occurred during the 2000 election when Democrats were trying to steal

00:04:52.300 that one down in Florida. And the Brooks Brothers Riot was all of these lawyers and campaign flacks who 0.50

00:04:58.900 were showing up to try to stop the Democrats from stealing that election. So it was an ironic use of

00:05:05.240 the term riot. Let them riot. Is this going to move the needle one little bit? These guys are scraping

00:05:13.260 the bottom of the barrel at this point. This doesn't change one single vote. But of course it

00:05:20.360 doesn't because they tried to stop Trump from running. He ran anyway. They tried to kick him

00:05:28.040 off the ballot. That didn't work. Then they tried to imprison him. That has not worked so far. Then

00:05:33.940 they tried to murder him. That didn't work. That almost worked. Then they tried to murder him again.

00:05:41.060 And that didn't work. That didn't even come as close as it did the first time. And now they're

00:05:45.360 trying to imprison him on the same case that was thrown out of court because a campaign staffer

00:05:55.200 made a somewhat humorous comment about a fake riot that took place during another contested

00:06:05.340 presidential election 20 years ago to show you that this isn't even all that unprecedented.

00:06:10.840 The argument for the Donald Trump led an insurrection line of attack is that this was

00:06:16.980 unprecedented. This threatened our whole republic. But then the evidence that they point to, some

00:06:21.180 random low-level campaigner, shows you that this has happened before. And it's the Democrats who

00:06:26.840 questioned the results of the election. Really, really weak stuff. But the libs are getting desperate.

00:06:31.060 You might have seen a New York Times fact check from the vice presidential debate. The libs are 0.91

00:06:38.360 still licking their wounds because of how well this debate went for J.D. Vance. A much-beloved member of

00:06:47.880 my family is extremely left-wing. The way I knew that J.D. Vance completely crushed in that debate is that

00:06:57.340 even this maybe most left-wing member of my entire family, with whom I'm very close,

00:07:04.640 this family member had to admit to me, okay, J.D. Vance, he looked good. He talked pretty good up

00:07:09.640 there. He did a good job. It was so incontrovertibly a win for J.D. Vance that the New York Times has

00:07:17.640 taken to straight-up lying. So here is the fact check from the New York Times. They introduce it.

00:07:22.740 They say, Tim Walls and J.D. Vance sparred over domestic and foreign policy in the first and only

00:07:26.600 vice presidential debate on Tuesday. Here's one of the claims we fact-checked. And here's the claim

00:07:30.740 from J.D. The statute you signed into law, talking to Tim Walls, it says that a doctor who presides

00:07:37.760 over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide life-saving care

00:07:43.680 to a baby who survives a botched abortion. That was the claim from J.D. Vance. The rating from the New York

00:07:49.440 Times. False. All caps highlighted in yellow. Okay, how is it false? Here's the explanation.

00:07:57.580 Vance distorted Walls' repeal of a so-called born-alive law that had been in effect in

00:08:02.720 Minnesota since the 70s. That law required doctors to report when a live child was born as a result of

00:08:08.720 an abortion and to provide all reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice to care for

00:08:14.260 that infant. So, in other words, J.D. Vance was entirely correct. Everything J.D. Vance said was

00:08:26.260 true. Nothing J.D. Vance said was not true. And the New York Times is admitting this.

00:08:36.260 Am I getting, when I saw this, I thought, I must be missing something here. I must just be reading

00:08:41.420 this wrong. J.D. says the statute you signed into law says that a doctor presides over an abortion

00:08:45.980 where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide medical, life-saving care

00:08:50.540 to a baby who survives a botched late-term abortion. And then they say, yeah, the law that he repealed

00:08:56.500 required doctors to report when a live child was born as a result of an abortion and provide all 0.98

00:09:00.820 reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice. The New York Times, in the explanation of

00:09:07.940 its fact check, is contradicting its own fact check. Why are they doing this? Because they've got

00:09:18.120 nothing else. This is one advantage of the libs having thrown the kitchen sink at Trump and Vance, 1.00

00:09:28.840 too. This whole Vance is weird and making up stuff about his memoir and just going after him for

00:09:34.760 complete nonsense. Keeping him really away from speaking to the public directly, such that

00:09:41.100 Democrat expectations were mismanaged. And when he did speak directly to the people,

00:09:44.900 even many Democrats said, wow, this guy's pretty smart. This guy seems pretty normal.

00:09:48.760 It shows you they got nothing else. If the New York Times, the people who run that outlet are not,

00:09:56.600 they don't have low IQs, probably. I'm not saying they're the best educated people in the world,

00:10:00.420 but I don't think they have low IQs. They're usually pretty clever and crafty. If they could

00:10:05.620 figure out a way to not quite lie, but skirt the truth and mislead, I promise you they would do

00:10:13.340 that. That's not what they're doing here. This actually is unusual for the New York Times

00:10:17.060 to just outright lie, have a headline that is completely contradicted by the substance of the

00:10:22.340 article. They're doing that because Trump and Vance are just that good. There's so much more to say.

00:11:46.960 the New York Times is CNN. Corey Lewandowski, who has been the campaign manager for Trump going all 0.98

00:11:52.920 the way back to 2016, and then sometimes he's in, sometimes he's out, but he's still an extremely

00:11:57.600 influential, serious figure within Trump world. He goes on CNN to act as a surrogate for Trump.

00:12:06.200 And while he's discussing one of the most important political issues, one of the most important

00:12:11.960 failures of the Biden-Harris administration, CNN Jim's Acosta, CNN's Jim Acosta decides to tone

00:12:22.560 police him on his pronunciation of words. You know what I can say, Jim? I can say that 13,099

00:12:30.260 murders were let into this country. 16,000 rapists, 425,000 people in the last four years have been

00:12:36.720 let into this country by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's own Customs and Border Protection that

00:12:41.620 are running around this country, Jim. The other thing, too, it's Kamala Harris. I don't know.

00:12:45.360 Is there, why do you guys say Kamala? That is, it's Kamala Harris. I just. Jim, we know that

00:12:51.760 they're committing crimes against Americans. Why can't these individuals talk about the individuals

00:12:57.180 have been killed by illegal immigrants? 13,099 murderers have been let into this country by this 0.99

00:13:03.800 administration's own accounting, and you guys don't want to talk about it. This sums it up for

00:13:08.840 me. This clip, Jim Acosta is the consummate Ron Burgundy left wing, just read what's in the

00:13:16.720 prompter and push the Democratic Party message reporter that I've ever seen. And he's interviewing

00:13:22.680 Lewandowski, and this sums it up. The, the Trump figure comes on and calls attention to an extremely

00:13:32.120 serious, dangerous political problem. 13,000 murderers, convicted murderers have been permitted

00:13:39.700 into the country because of open borders policies, the kind that Kamala Harris has encouraged while

00:13:47.100 she's borders are. And the Democrat rejoinder to that is actually it's pronounced Kamala.

00:13:56.960 Excuse me? You said Kamala, but it's actually pronounced Kamala. It's actually the, the accent is

00:14:05.640 supposed to be on the second and a half syllable. And, but you put it on the second and a quarter

00:14:10.760 syllable. So fact-checked, owned. Yeah, man, we're, we're talking about all the murderers she let into

00:14:20.740 the country and all the murders they're committing and all of the Americans being murdered by them. 0.89

00:14:26.960 Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that ancillary and minor story in a moment. First though, it's Kamala. It's, 0.72

00:14:34.840 it's more of like a, it's not a car. It's a, you're not pronouncing the Democrat nominee's very unusual

00:14:43.200 name exactly as I want you to. So let's focus on the real issues. That's what they do. You say, hey,

00:14:50.800 some giant dude is getting naked in the girls changing room at the public pool. And I don't want 0.80

00:14:57.520 my daughter to have to see that. What does the left say in response to that? They say, hey, hey, hey, hey,

00:15:01.820 hey, she, the beautiful 46-year-old trans woman is getting naked in front of your daughter at the 1.00

00:15:11.180 public pool. That's what they say. It's all, it's all little word games. And it's all little word 0.99

00:15:16.120 games in order to distract you both through the euphemism itself and by diverting the conversation

00:15:22.000 away from the real issues, which are important to people. I think people care when, when there

00:15:26.940 were 13,000 convicted murderers just running around free. People who, even if they had not been

00:15:31.340 convicted of a murder, have no right to be in this country. But certainly if they, on top of

00:15:37.640 breaking our most basic laws, also are dangerous murderers, they should not be in the country

00:15:42.300 either. Meanwhile, President Trump, taking a different approach here, just made big headlines

00:15:50.140 that probably will rankle even some centrist Republicans. Trump said not only is he going to

00:15:58.520 deport illegal aliens who have crossed the Rio Grande, Trump is also going to deport the much

00:16:05.740 discussed Haitians who are in places like Springfield, Ohio, who are here on legal temporary

00:16:13.000 status. Springfield is such a beautiful place. Have you seen what's happened to it? It's been

00:16:18.000 overrun. You can't do that to people. They have to be removed. So you would revoke the temporary

00:16:23.840 protected status. Absolutely, I'd revoke it and I'd bring them back to their country. Absolutely, 1.00

00:16:29.260 I'd revoke it. Question, will you revoke the temporary legal status? Absolutely, I would revoke

00:16:35.260 it and I'll bring them back to their country. This is going to send the left and the squishes up in 0.99

00:16:39.540 arms. Okay, it's one thing to say you're going to deport illegal aliens. The left doesn't want you

00:16:45.480 to do that. The left tried to hit J.D. Vance on this the other night at the debate. You're going to

00:16:49.360 deport people who shouldn't be here? Even that is controversial. The left doesn't want you to deport

00:16:56.280 anybody. And centrist Republicans don't really want you to deport even many of those illegal aliens.

00:17:02.340 But here Trump is going further. He's saying, I'm going to deport people who are here legally.

00:17:07.620 This is shocking. How could he say that? Well, I don't know because I think Trump is

00:17:12.940 paying closer attention to the meaning of words certainly than the left is. The Haitians are here.

00:17:19.360 With temporary legal status. The very fact that people would recoil at President Trump saying,

00:17:27.420 okay, it's been long enough. We're going to send them back to their country. 1.00

00:17:31.520 Shows you how dishonest, how deceptive a phrase like temporary legal status is.

00:17:38.580 The Democrats use these little phrases because it, well, it's a euphemism and it softens the

00:17:45.700 harshness of the reality, which is they're permanently importing these people into the country. 1.00

00:17:49.360 And they know that the American people don't want at any given clip, 300,000 people imported from a 1.00

00:17:55.320 failed state with wide reports of cannibalism to just come into the country and be dropped in middle

00:17:59.740 America, especially in swing states. They don't, they don't like that. But even if it's not a swing

00:18:04.580 state, they just, you don't want people who don't speak the language, who don't seem to have much 1.00

00:18:09.720 aptitude for assimilation, who are going to crash cars into school buses and buildings and who, 0.84

00:18:15.060 whether they're eating the dogs and cats or not, are creating all sorts of social problems. You

00:18:19.240 don't want that, just that massive permanent influx. So the Democrats lie and they say, no,

00:18:24.400 no, no, they're not here permanently. We're giving them temporary protected status, but it's never

00:18:28.260 temporary. It's permanent. That's how you've gotten mass migration, which in the United States from 1965

00:18:35.040 to the present has been the largest movement of people in recorded history and it's people into

00:18:41.560 this country. So Trump, Trump there, it's very simply saying, um, I thought it's supposed to be

00:18:47.820 temporary. Okay. Well, if it's temporary, time's up time to go back now. Oh, you, you never thought

00:18:53.940 we were going to send them back. Okay. Sounds like you've all been lying to the American people.

00:18:57.520 Then absolutely sharp policy from president Trump. Now turning to less, less happy, controversial

00:19:06.620 views, major report out major headlines. Uh, the first lady, former first lady, hopefully future

00:19:13.200 first lady, Melania Trump has a memoir coming out. And in this memoir reportedly, uh, she endorses

00:19:20.260 abortion and she, she passionately defends abortion. Actually, this is from a, an exclusive excerpt given

00:19:27.800 to the guardian headline, Melania Trump passionately defends abortion rights and upcoming memoir

00:19:33.960 exclusive. I've carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life. What, what does

00:19:38.480 she write? I obviously don't have a copy of the memoir. Apparently the memoir is not too long. So

00:19:42.640 the presence of this passionate defense of abortion is all the more conspicuous because it's relatively

00:19:47.640 short. Uh, she writes, according to the guardian, it is imperative to guarantee that women have

00:19:54.780 autonomy in deciding their preference of having children based on their own convictions, free from

00:20:01.120 any intervention or pressure from the government. Why should anyone other than the woman herself

00:20:05.500 have the power to determine what she does to her own body? A woman's fundamental right of individual 1.00

00:20:10.920 liberty to her own life grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy. If she wishes, 0.56

00:20:16.300 restricting a woman's right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as 0.60

00:20:22.680 denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult

00:20:28.300 life. That's going to be really shocking to a lot of, certainly to pro-lifers and probably to many

00:20:35.740 conservatives. So there are a few explanations as to how this is. You might say it's because, uh,

00:20:41.780 Melania comes from Slovenia. Slovenia has extraordinarily lax abortion laws. Uh, permits 0.99

00:20:47.780 abortion up to 28 weeks. Abortion is free. It's paid, but not free. Nothing's really free, uh, in this

00:20:53.380 finite world. Uh, but it's paid for by the government and, uh, minors don't even need parental permission

00:20:59.520 to obtain an abortion. So, you know, she comes from a place that has very lax abortion laws. Now,

00:21:04.380 Melania is also Catholic and Catholicism has made clear that abortion is completely, uh, unacceptable.

00:21:09.720 And it's not just one, one sin among many, but it's, it's, uh, it's special. It's non-negotiable

00:21:17.020 that the right to life is the right from which all the other rights flow. So you might say, okay,

00:21:22.520 I don't know, maybe that explains it. You, you might say some people will be tempted to say

00:21:26.100 that this is strategic, that no matter how deeply pro-lifers feel about abortion, no matter how

00:21:35.180 philosophically and bioethically clear the issue of abortion is. And it is, uh, it politically,

00:21:41.480 it's a tough issue for Republicans. And when it's gone up in ballot initiatives in recent years,

00:21:45.660 we've lost. So we got this major win during the Trump years of the overruling of Roe v. Wade.

00:21:50.520 But since then, uh, well, we had a major win from the Trump justices during, uh, for the overruling

00:21:58.680 of Roe v. Wade. But since then it's become a tough political issue. So maybe this is 5d chess. And the

00:22:04.100 first lady is releasing her memoir, uh, just before the campaign in order to blunt the attacks from

00:22:09.680 Democrats that Trump is going to ban abortion nationwide. Maybe that's possible. I have a third 0.99

00:22:15.560 theory, which I have not yet seen anyone mentioned. There's so much more to say first though, go to

00:23:51.560 of abortion? Is it 5D chess? Is it her upbringing? Is it this? Is it that? I think this is totally to 0.57

00:24:01.740 be expected because since abortion became a major public issue, every single Republican first lady 1.00

00:24:11.960 has supported it. This is a sad, strange fact of history. But don't forget, before the 1960s,

00:24:20.420 abortion was not really a major public issue. Going back to the colonial days when abortion

00:24:25.680 was addressed by law, it was illegal. At the time, of course, abortion was surgically impossible and

00:24:33.860 chemically dubious. But where it was addressed, it was illegal. By the turn of the 20th century,

00:24:37.820 it was a felony in every single state. Then Margaret Sanger began her campaign for abortion 1.00

00:24:43.760 and contraception and eugenics. And her organization turned into Planned Parenthood. And it got these

00:24:50.360 wins here and there. It started to decriminalize abortion in certain places. But really, that all

00:24:56.600 exploded in the late 1960s. And then finally, it was codified. There was a license to abortion with

00:25:02.380 Roe v. Wade in 1973. So it's really the late 60s or so. And we had Republican President Dwight

00:25:10.820 Eisenhower. VP was Richard Nixon. Then we had Democrat rule because Kennedy, rightly or wrongly,

00:25:20.000 won the 1960 election. Then we had LBJ. And then we get a Republican again, Richard Nixon. That's

00:25:25.220 really the first time that abortion is a major public issue while Republicans in the White House

00:25:29.460 and Richard Nixon's wife was pro-abortion. And then there was a soft coup in our government and

00:25:36.640 Richard Nixon was thrown out of the government. Jerry Ford was put in his place. Betty Ford

00:25:41.580 supported abortion. Then you say, okay, well, Richard Nixon, he was a different kind of

00:25:47.300 conservative. And Jerry Ford, he wasn't really all that conservative at all. But we finally got

00:25:51.100 Ronald Reagan, right? The Gipper, the conservative standard bearer. We got a religious revival even

00:25:55.600 coming on the right. This is great. Surely here, the first family is going to be totally

00:26:00.260 pro-life, right? No, Nancy Reagan supported legal abortion. And in fact, I think it was Don Regan's

00:26:06.680 book, his political memoir, he recalled her saying that she didn't give a damn about the pro-lifers.

00:26:12.400 She might've even used tougher language than that. Regardless, she defended abortion. Then you get 0.98

00:26:19.260 George H.W. Bush, Barbara Bush, pro-abortion. In fact, the Bush family broadly was pro-abortion.

00:26:25.180 George H.W. Bush's father, Prescott Bush, Senator Bush, was, I think he was a donor to Planned Parenthood.

00:26:31.080 He was a big supporter of Planned Parenthood. George H.W. Bush became pro-life just before he got on the

00:26:36.360 1980 ticket with Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan demanded he be pro-life. But Bush's generally were not

00:26:42.060 particularly pro-life. Now, George W. Bush was more conservative in most ways than George H.W. Bush.

00:26:49.540 However, George W. Bush's wife, Laura, was pro-abortion. Then Melania Trump, no surprise. It's weird

00:26:59.360 because pro-life is strongly represented on the right, but not necessarily in the political class,

00:27:10.460 not necessarily in the elected political class, I should say.

00:27:14.840 And this is what's an important lesson for pro-lifers in all of this. Melania Trump writes

00:27:20.640 a memoir and says, I'm pro-abortion. Does that mean you're not going to vote for Trump?

00:27:27.140 I don't know. She's the first lady. She's not the president. Trump's been a pro-life president.

00:27:30.940 Been the most pro-life president in practical terms of my lifetime.

00:27:33.240 But did Laura Bush being pro-abortion stop you from voting for George W. Bush? Did Barbara Bush, 0.98

00:27:40.820 did Nancy Reagan? No. I think you're probably still going to vote for Trump, even if you're

00:27:48.960 pro-lifer. This is a reminder, though, that pro-lifers are a true, thoroughgoing pro-lifers

00:27:57.340 are a distinct minority, not just in the country, even in the political class of the GOP.

00:28:07.000 The pro-lifers, we punch above our weight because we are well represented in the intellectual side of

00:28:15.160 the conservative movement and in the activist side of the conservative movement. And there's

00:28:19.500 overlap between the intellectual side and the activist side, too, obviously. But there,

00:28:22.920 there are conservatives who have a thoroughgoing, relatively coherent political view.

00:28:31.340 That is not represented in the elected class. And in part, I suspect that it's because that's

00:28:36.020 not represented among the electorate. Which means, some people said the pro-life movement's

00:28:42.880 over after Roe v. Wade. I think, no, things are just getting started. Now we've got to really start

00:28:47.100 making arguments. Now we've really got to start pulling on heartstrings. Now we've got to really

00:28:50.360 start showing people reality. Now we really have to start persuading people. Speaking of

00:28:56.020 bewildering political rhetoric, we get to a really important story of the day. Kamala Harris

00:29:01.420 loves Doritos.

00:29:03.860 One of my guilty pleasures, especially when I'm on the road, are my Doritos.

00:29:07.940 Oh, what flavor?

00:29:09.440 Nacho. Old school, original. Come on.

00:29:12.200 OG.

00:29:12.480 Come on.

00:29:12.900 Red bag.

00:29:13.200 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:29:14.640 Red bag.

00:29:14.980 That's exactly, you've got to have a napkin nearby.

00:29:16.460 Kamala Harris is interviewing, I don't even know who these guys are, but they just seem

00:29:21.680 so disgusted with her answer. Not because they don't like Doritos, but because it just

00:29:27.120 seems so banal and inauthentic. You see them there, they say, oh yeah, your guilty pleasure

00:29:34.460 is Doritos. The most focus-tested, anodyne, oh that's your guilt. If she had said, my guilty

00:29:41.300 pleasure? Man, Marlboro Reds, you know. Unfiltered Newports, that's my zen. You know, a little

00:29:48.580 six-milli lip-pilly. What's my guilty pleasure? A little cab sob at the end of the night. That's

00:29:54.840 my guilty. What's my guilty pleasure? But it's nothing. It's the most anodyne. I like, I like

00:30:01.140 one of the most popular potato chips in the world. How do you do, fellow humans? It's so,

00:30:08.360 ugh. I don't know which is worse. There are two ways to read this, and it actually does

00:30:14.580 have political import. I'm not just joking about the Doritos. There's two ways to read

00:30:18.560 this. The one way to read this is Kamala Harris is just reading polls. She's just a complete 1.00

00:30:26.920 robot, and she's focus-testing everything. Everything she says, every belief she holds,

00:30:31.940 everything she wears, and even now every snack that she says she enjoys. The other way to read

00:30:38.340 this is, she really just is this banal. The other way to read this is, when she speaks

00:30:46.020 in totally meaningless platitudes about how much, I love yellow school buses. I love Venn diagrams.

00:30:56.480 I like Doritos, you know, because with Doritos, you need a napkin, because you get the color,

00:31:04.780 the covering on your fingers, and you need to wipe it. The other possibility is that she just

00:31:13.340 really is that flavorless. Maybe there's not even much of a difference between those two things.

00:31:22.460 Maybe this woman's been in politics so long that she really is just an empty vessel. I mean, that is 1.00

00:31:28.560 in part why Joe Biden picked her. In part, he picked her because he was boxed into a corner.

00:31:34.640 He had to pick a black woman. There were only three choices, and she was the only viable one. 1.00

00:31:38.380 But in part, he picked her for the same reason the Democrats picked Joe Biden, which is they don't

00:31:41.660 really have any beliefs of their own. They just, they lick their finger, they put it in the wind,

00:31:45.780 they figure out which way the wind is blowing. But I think this is why Trump is so effective,

00:31:52.080 and especially why he burst onto the scene in 2016. Contrary to the predictions of all the

00:31:58.320 political class, he did really well because he reads as authentic. You might not like everything

00:32:03.200 he believes. You might not, even I'm a huge Trump supporter, and I've been a Trump supporter for a

00:32:07.220 very long time. And there's some certain things he says or certain policies he advocates where I

00:32:11.280 think, I don't know, I'm not, I don't totally agree with that. But I think, but at least I know where

00:32:14.580 the guy stands, at least he's, at least he's authentic. And I can, I can point to a policy

00:32:22.040 of his and he'll probably stick with it. At least if it's one that he, he, you know, speaks about

00:32:28.560 passionately. With Kamala Harris, I have no, she's reversed her positions on every policy. Joe Biden has

00:32:34.800 reversed his positions on all sorts of policies. There's not, there's no human being there that I

00:32:40.680 can hold onto. Her, her greatest guilty pleasure is a Dorito. No one believes anything this woman 1.00

00:32:47.760 says. This is also why I think the J.D. Vance debate was so damaging to, to Democrats because

00:32:52.820 they were hoping that they could make J.D. Vance into one of these just soulless political psychopaths 0.96

00:32:57.780 who doesn't actually believe anything and who just ingests polling information and spits it out in a 0.97

00:33:02.740 really uncanny way. But he isn't that guy. That's what they pretended that he was. But then when he spoke

00:33:08.300 directly to the American people, people saw a guy who's extremely intelligent, who's extremely

00:33:13.880 educated, and who is sincere and normal and likable in a way that's really hard to fake.

00:33:22.080 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported? That's why I buy

00:33:59.360 Now, speaking of the second family and authenticity, a big story broke yesterday.

00:34:06.960 Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, would-be first gentleman, Kamala Harris' husband,

00:34:12.560 has found himself at the center of a major sex scandal just days after MSNBC and Jen Psaki,

00:34:20.540 the former spokesman for Joe Biden, gave him this fluffy interview.

00:34:25.620 That has also been an important part or an interesting part of how people have talked

00:34:29.880 about your role here is how your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm

00:34:35.040 not sure you planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been

00:34:39.480 an evolution for you? And do you think that's part of the role you might play as first gentleman?

00:34:45.520 It's funny. I've started to think a lot about this. I've always been like this. My dad was like

00:34:50.900 this, and to me, it's the right thing to do. Oh, so even if there weren't a sex scandal,

00:34:57.960 well, there had already been the previous sex scandal, widely reported that Doug Emhoff impregnated

00:35:03.360 his nanny while he was married, obviously with children. And there was some question as to

00:35:10.840 whether the woman miscarried, whether who, you know, there were a lot of questions that went along

00:35:16.160 with that scandal in itself. But then that kind of went away. And the perception of Doug Emhoff went

00:35:23.560 back to the classic new perception of masculinity, you know, meaning not masculinity. It's sort of like

00:35:32.060 politically correct means not correct, or undocumented American means not an American.

00:35:37.480 Well, in this case, the new perception of masculinity means not masculinity. And so he's been

00:35:45.740 mocked for this. But then a sex scandal came out that actually undermined the notion that this guy

00:35:51.800 is a huge beta. Namely, that he's, this tryst with his nanny was not his only example of womanizing.

00:36:00.560 And actually, the present scandal goes beyond womanizing. It gets pretty dark. There's an

00:36:05.920 allegation here that he smacked a woman across the face and spun her around in a jealous rage.

00:36:13.500 Not revealing private sins. This is just what's being reported. Who knows? It could be tabloid

00:36:17.700 nonsense. But it puts Emhoff and Kamala in the Democrats in a really bad position.

00:36:25.740 But it shows you a really important truth about the way in which liberals have tried to redefine

00:36:36.460 masculinity. We'll get to that in one moment. First, though, we were just 33 days away from

00:37:12.880 thanks for summarizing this in three minutes in 47 minutes, Michael. You're the best. You're very

00:37:22.960 welcome. I tried to do that. I'm glad that I succeeded yesterday. The libs are looking at this

00:37:31.420 Doug Emhoff scandal as, even some Republicans, I think, are looking at this as a contradiction

00:37:37.200 between two. Hold on. Is Doug Emhoff this big, beta, soy boy, weak male? Or is he some knuckle-dragging, 0.91

00:37:48.900 you know, Stanley Kowalski brute vis-a-vis women? And the secret is, they're the same guy.

00:38:01.320 Corporate wants you to show me the difference between these pictures. They're the same picture.

00:38:04.860 The new perception of masculinity that the liberals have been pushing for decades. It's not just Jen

00:38:12.240 Psaki. It's not just Doug Emhoff. It's decades now. We've heard that traditional masculinity is toxic,

00:38:18.740 and we need men to be more sensitive, and we need men to be more effeminate, and we need men to be

00:38:23.820 weaker, and we need men to be more, I don't know, squishier and softer and more sympathetic or

00:38:31.760 something. We've been told that'll be a really good thing. Those are the guys. Those are the guys

00:38:38.140 that smack their woman around in a jealous rage. Those are the guys that knock up the nanny because

00:38:42.560 they have no discipline and clarity when it comes to the meaning of marriage. Those are the guys. It's

00:38:48.860 a fallen world. All sorts of people make mistakes, but those are the guys who are going to be much more

00:38:54.340 inclined to do that. A man who acts more like a woman, a man who is not manly, is not going to be 0.99

00:39:03.880 a better man. He's going to be the worst kind of man. He's going to have all the worst attributes 0.99

00:39:08.900 of a man with none of the good attributes of a man because manliness entails honor. It entails

00:39:17.200 sacrifice. It entails leadership. It entails moral clarity. It entails virtue. The word virtue comes

00:39:25.180 from the word vir. It comes from the word that means man. It entails restraint. It entails all

00:39:31.700 these things. And the kind of man that Jen Psaki and Libs of the World have been encouraging for

00:39:38.160 decades now is a man who doesn't have clarity. You know, he just thinks it is what it is, man,

00:39:44.540 and don't yuck my yum and whatever people believe. There's no such thing as objective truth. It's a

00:39:48.800 man who is not restrained. He's just going to do what he wants to do. You know, he's got to pursue

00:39:54.120 his true authentic self, totally divorced from reason. It's not going to be a man who takes marriage

00:40:01.400 seriously. He's not going to be monogamous. He's too progressive and forward thinking for that.

00:40:06.320 He's going to be a man who's in touch with his emotions. The traditional man, the strong,

00:40:11.020 silent type, when he's feeling the, when he's feeling a case of the feels, he keeps his mouth

00:40:15.920 shut and he does his job. And he, he processes his emotions in a traditional way that doesn't

00:40:24.320 burden other people. Though new modern male, he's really in touch with his feelings. Okay. Well,

00:40:28.600 if the story about Doug Emhoff is true, he was really in touch with his feelings when he was

00:40:32.420 waiting out lines, smacking his girlfriend around. He was feeling a lot. He wasn't being very reasonable,

00:40:36.760 but he was, he was giving free reign to his feelings. You want a society of feelings? That's

00:40:42.020 what you get. That is, that is the new perception of man. Okay. And I think when we, when we actually

00:40:51.360 get a look at these things, not papered over by the, by the saccharine euphemisms of the left,

00:40:56.980 but when we get to see these things in their reality, people aren't going to like it. When we

00:41:02.540 get past the euphemism of the dreamer or future undocumented American, and we see the reality of

00:41:07.380 13,000 convicted murderers who don't speak our language, who don't, don't assimilate to our

00:41:12.400 culture, who drive cars into school buses and buildings and who maybe eat the dogs and the cats.

00:41:16.800 The reality is, is a lot worse than the euphemism. Some of the people don't like, you might, you might

00:41:22.860 say, oh, I want a new kind of man. Okay. Well, that's, that's your new kind of man. You like that?

00:41:26.980 I don't think so. It is at any wonder then that Kamala Harris is struggling with men. 1.00

00:41:31.180 Democrats are freaking out over this. You don't need to take my word for it or the Daily

00:41:35.600 Wire's word for it or the blaze or Fox news or anything else. Here's MSNBC on the man problem.

00:41:42.540 But it's men. I mean, I think the real, the real struggle for the Harris campaign

00:41:46.420 is young men, older men, men of color, white men. That is the real struggle. Absolutely right. 1.00

00:41:55.480 How's she going to fix that? She ain't going to fix it with Doug Emhoff.

00:41:59.140 She ain't going to fix it with Tim Walls. Tim Walls coming out there. I mean, it was,

00:42:04.060 it was one of the clips that went viral from the campaign. I don't think we pulled it for the show

00:42:07.520 today where, where Tim Walls is trying to explain his lie about Tiananmen Square. And he says,

00:42:11.280 you know, I'm just kind of a knucklehead. You know me in another clip, because I'm just an old guy.

00:42:17.260 I think, okay, you, you think you're being humble. True humility is a good thing.

00:42:23.060 I'm skeptical that that's true humility. I think that might be false modesty,

00:42:26.220 which is really a species of pride. But regardless, whether it's sincere or artificial,

00:42:32.060 you are running to be the vice president of the United States, one heartbeat away from the

00:42:37.060 presidency. Take yourself seriously. Okay. Have a little bit of sobriety. Have a little dignity.

00:42:45.600 Have a little confidence. How about you act like a man? Hmm? How about you try that? You want to win

00:42:53.080 male voters over? You want to win female voters over for that matter, who are reasonable women? 1.00

00:42:59.140 How about you act like a man when you are a man? That's going to be more effective. 0.96

00:43:06.460 You know, on the, on the debate prep, there's a story I really want to get to before we go today,

00:43:11.920 which is a JD Vance tweeted out yesterday that he, he was asked by a friend if he was nervous

00:43:19.820 before he went up there for the debate. And he said, was I nervous? Yeah, on a scale of zero to

00:43:25.660 10, I was about an 11. And he said, but one thing that calmed me down was I, a priest friend sent me

00:43:34.500 this prayer. And it was a prayer that St. Thomas Aquinas apparently wrote. And I think it's a really

00:43:43.600 good prayer to say, well, before a presidential debate, before you speak at the PTA meeting,

00:43:50.380 before, I don't, before you speak in public. I'd never heard this prayer before, even though my job

00:43:54.780 is largely to speak in public. Oh, ineffable creator who from the treasures of your wisdom have

00:43:58.900 established three hierarchies of angels, have arrayed them in marvelous order above the fiery

00:44:03.180 heavens and have marshaled the legions of the universe with such artful skill. You are proclaimed

00:44:07.760 the true font of light and wisdom and the primal origin raised high beyond all things. Pour forth a ray

00:44:12.720 of your brightness into the darkness, darkened places of my mind. Disperse from my soul the

00:44:17.700 twofold darkness into which I was born, sin and ignorance. You make eloquent the tongues of infants,

00:44:23.240 refine my speech, and pour forth upon my lips the goodness of your blessing. Grant to me keenness of

00:44:27.700 mind, capacity to remember, skill in learning, subtlety to interpret, and eloquence in speech.

00:44:33.920 May you guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to completion.

00:44:38.620 You who are true God and true man who live in rain, world without end. Amen.

00:44:42.720 I love this prayer. I think I will like to start saying this prayer. I like that our vice

00:44:51.640 presidential nominee is bringing up prayer in general, especially a prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas,

00:44:58.440 who is one of the great geniuses ever to live and whose thinking has fallen away from popularity.

00:45:07.660 Our society has become much more degraded, so he's an important guiding light. But just prayer

00:45:12.160 generally, I like that J.D. Vance is helping to normalize prayer again. You don't want to be like 0.99

00:45:20.860 a sounding gong. You know, you don't want to just be praying in a vain way that is for the

00:45:25.780 entertainment or the deception of others. But you do want to pray. You want there to be an

00:45:37.100 exterior aspect to your religion because we're incarnate creatures, so there has to be some

00:45:40.780 exterior aspect to, well, basically everything as we move in time and space. But you want that to be

00:45:45.720 reflective of an interior reality. J.D. Vance converted some years ago, but this has been

00:45:51.940 building now for some time. J.D. Vance mentioned our Lord during the debate. I don't think he did it

00:45:56.520 in a pharisaical way at all. I think he just mentioned it. And I think this should be natural 0.99

00:46:02.300 and this should be normalized. You can't be holy if you don't pray. You can't even be smart if you

00:46:08.600 don't pray. You won't even be aware of your own limitations, which are significant. This kind of 1.00

00:46:15.540 stuff is personally helpful. And I suspect J.D.'s prayer was answered before this debate, which was

00:46:24.500 probably the greatest debate performance of my entire lifetime. But just the fact that he says

00:46:31.320 these things, the more this is normalized, the less bizarre it will seem when people mention prayer

00:46:35.840 and God. And therefore the risk of sounding like a clanging gong or something, of seeming like you're

00:46:41.580 just doing it for a show, is greatly reduced because it's just the way that we speak. I mentioned

00:46:45.480 yesterday that Mother Jones editor who became angry when a stewardess said, bless you, have a blessed day.

00:46:53.720 Something's gone wrong politically in society for that to happen. At least we still say,

00:46:59.120 you sneeze, you say, God bless you. We need prayer to be like that. We need to just be part of the

00:47:03.880 language of the culture because the language colors the way we see the entire world. If our country

00:47:08.300 doesn't pray, then forget about advocating on this issue or that issue or this, that, or the other

00:47:13.020 thing. It's not. You can't consciously, rationally pay attention to all of those little aspects at a

00:47:20.140 time. It's got to be in your bones. It's got to become a matter of virtue. You got to be a country

00:47:24.860 that is just fluent and habituated to this kind of stuff. I feel somewhat confident with this

00:47:32.700 presidential ticket. We could get there if we win. It's Theology Thursday. The rest of the show

00:47:42.680 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. Growing up, I never 0.97

00:48:00.160 thought much about race. It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me. Am I racist?

00:48:05.280 I would really appreciate it if you love. I'm trying to learn. I'm on this journey.

00:48:07.940 If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

00:48:14.200 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.

00:48:17.780 Here's my certification.

00:48:18.920 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. 0.71

00:48:21.660 This is more for you than this for you.

00:48:22.640 Is America inherently racist?

00:48:24.200 The word inherent is challenging there.

00:48:26.160 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

00:48:29.340 America is racist to its bones.

00:48:31.180 So inherently. 0.98

00:48:32.040 Yeah. This country is a piece of...

00:48:33.600 White folks, trash, white supremacy, white woman, white boy. 1.00

00:48:38.580 Is there a black person around here? 1.00

00:48:39.880 What's a black person right here? Does he not exist? 0.86

00:48:43.760 Hi, Robin.

00:48:44.540 Hi.

00:48:44.900 What's your name?

00:48:45.840 I'm Matt.

00:48:46.340 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.

00:48:48.960 Never be too careful.
