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
00:00:30.000
Welcome back to the show. Usually at the top of the show, I tease a story, a really important story
00:00:38.680
that will come up later on, but I've already teased it. The biggest story of the day.
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
00:00:57.140
almost $2 trillion to a current $2 trillion deficit. You might be thinking it's time to

00:01:50.540
little while sooner. So go check it out. Text Knowles to 989898 today. Of legitimately less
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
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
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
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

1.00
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
00:29:03.860
One of my guilty pleasures, especially when I'm on the road, are my Doritos.
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
00:32:57.780
who doesn't actually believe anything and who just ingests polling information and spits it out in a
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

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
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.

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
00:47:37.960
continues now. You don't want to miss it. Become a member. Use code Knowles, Canada, B-L-E-S at checkout
00:47:42.680
Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. Growing up, I never
0.93
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.
00:48:18.920
What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.

What's a black person right here? Does he not exist?

I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
