00:00:37.700 We're two weeks out from election day, and already the establishment media are declaring that we won't know the results that night.

00:00:46.140 They're claiming that we might not know the results for days or even weeks after election night.

00:00:51.760 They are claiming, in fact, that it is normal not to know the results of the election on election night.

00:00:58.720 And that is news to me, and that's probably news to you too.

00:01:02.420 Because we used to know the results on election night pretty much every time.

00:01:07.160 How is it that the most powerful democracy in the history of the world can no longer count its votes on election night?

00:01:15.340 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:16.320 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:17.220 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:38.320 Democrats are really scraping the bottom of the barrel in these final couple weeks here. 0.91

00:01:42.620 Tim Walls, Kamala's running mate, is insulting Trump by insinuating that he's gay.

00:01:50.120 We're bringing back elementary schoolyard taunts from the man who is supposedly pro-LGBT and who, in fact, put tampons in little boys' bathrooms.

00:02:01.180 Financing your first home can feel overwhelming, but TD can help.

00:02:06.120 Request a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct and say hello to good advice.

00:02:16.300 It's normal, says PBS.

00:02:19.040 It's normal not to know the official results on election night.

00:02:23.180 Here's why.

00:02:24.760 And then you get this really long, dumb article about why everything you've ever known about elections didn't really happen. 0.89

00:02:33.600 And it wasn't really true, and these are not the droids you're looking for. 0.90

00:02:37.060 No, it's normal.

00:02:37.980 They're not just saying, this is how we do things now.

00:02:40.940 They're not just saying, yeah, there might be anomalies.

00:02:44.480 It's a weird election.

00:02:45.500 You know, they swapped out the Democrat candidate, and the Republican candidate almost got murdered twice.

00:02:50.100 And so it's pretty weird, man.

00:02:51.820 Or even, you know, it's COVID, and they changed the rules.

00:02:54.020 No, no, no.

00:02:54.260 So they're now telling us, not only is this how we're doing elections now, but it's normal.

00:03:01.720 Oh, yes, we've never known the results on election night.

00:03:04.860 No, those are all false memories you have.

00:03:08.040 For every election in my lifetime, other than, I guess, the contested 2000 election, which went all the way up to the Supreme Court, back when we were told that it was patriotic to contest the results of elections, before we were told it was an insurrection and a threat to democracy and akin to the behavior of Adolf Hitler. 0.55

00:03:26.400 Other than that one election, when the Democrats tried to overturn the results of the 2000 election, take the White House away from George Bush, other than that, we always knew the results on election night.

00:03:36.380 I'm not that elderly.

00:03:38.740 You know, I'm a relatively youthful fella.

00:03:41.100 And so I'm thinking of all the elections in my lifetime, 92.

00:03:44.960 People knew the results on election night, 96.

00:03:48.740 2000 was, Democrats tried to overturn it.

00:03:52.200 2004, we knew the results.

00:03:54.320 2008, we knew the results.

00:03:55.600 2012.

00:03:56.760 2016, even, we knew the results.

00:03:58.840 Then, of course, they changed all the rules.

00:04:00.360 And in 2020, they stopped the vote counts, and it went on for days and weeks.

00:04:04.100 But now, I guess, they're saying, even before this election takes place, yeah, we're going to pull that stuff again.

00:04:12.540 America, we are told, is the most powerful democracy that has ever existed.

00:04:18.700 We can't conduct elections in a timely manner.

00:04:21.620 Why?

00:04:21.800 Well, according to PBS and according to all the lib outlets that are telling us,

00:04:25.660 prepare, you're not going to know the results.

00:04:28.020 We have to figure out how many ballots we need before we'll tell you the results from the states.

00:04:31.620 That's the subtext.

00:04:33.040 Before that happens, we were able to conduct the elections.

00:04:37.220 So, why?

00:04:38.880 Because they say, we have new technology.

00:04:40.700 We have new procedures.

00:04:41.580 We have a new way of doing things.

00:04:43.740 Okay.

00:04:44.020 If the new technology and procedures are making our elections less efficient, then wouldn't the reasonable thing to do be to go back to the old tried-and-true ways?

00:04:57.320 Okay, we've tried certain things.

00:04:58.700 We've tried out new machines.

00:04:59.880 We've tried out new procedures.

00:05:01.220 We've tried extending election day to election month or two months.

00:05:05.220 We've tried this.

00:05:06.900 We've tried that.

00:05:08.540 And yet, it actually makes our elections less efficient, perhaps less secure.

00:05:14.720 So, why wouldn't we just go back to the old way?

00:05:18.160 The only explanation I can come up with is that the people who run our elections don't want them to be secure, don't want them to be efficient, don't want them to be easily accounted for, easily checked.

00:05:33.740 They don't want that.

00:05:36.200 They want the mango Mussolini.

00:05:38.060 They wouldn't even call Trump Mussolini.

00:05:39.280 They want Hitler 2.0. 0.96

00:05:41.040 They want the existential threat to our democracy, not only to not be in the Oval Office, they want him to be locked up.

00:05:47.000 Joe Biden just said that.

00:05:47.740 He said, we have to lock him up.

00:05:48.820 We have to lock up Trump.

00:05:50.700 Of course, they've been trying to do that.

00:05:51.960 They've tried to imprison him four separate times just in this election season, and they've justified his assassination, which has nearly been carried out twice.

00:05:59.820 That's the only conclusion I can come to. 0.99

00:06:01.380 I try never to ascribe to malice that which is equally explained by stupidity. 1.00

00:06:06.100 But what's the explanation? 0.99

00:06:09.300 Wasn't so long ago we could conduct elections and know the results on election night.

00:06:12.600 What's the argument for changing all that?

00:06:17.620 The Libs are getting very nervous.

00:06:18.840 That's what's going on.

00:06:19.740 They're getting nervous.

00:06:20.500 You don't have to just believe me.

00:06:21.640 There's a story out in The Hill.

00:06:23.720 The Hill is, you know, sort of left wing, center left outlet.

00:06:27.180 The Hill is asking, what if Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?

00:06:35.500 This is an op-ed.

00:06:36.780 I think a lot of Democrats are wondering this now.

00:06:39.400 What if Biden, even demented as he was, is a better candidate than Kamala Harris?

00:06:46.320 I argued that from the beginning.

00:06:50.420 From the beginning.

00:06:51.200 I said, swapping out your candidate this way is just bad.

00:06:55.980 It looks bad.

00:06:56.740 It looks like you have a crisis of confidence.

00:06:58.700 Kamala Harris has never won a primary vote while she was running for president. 0.89

00:07:02.360 She's a deeply unlikable candidate. 1.00

00:07:03.880 She was chased out of the 2020 race before the first primary votes were cast. 0.97

00:07:08.220 She only got the job, according to Joe Biden, she only got the job because she's a black woman. 1.00

00:07:12.200 And he was backed into a corner and demanded to pick a black woman.

00:07:16.840 And it was either her, Susan Rice, or Karen Bass.

00:07:21.800 And the latter was a communist.

00:07:24.820 The middle one was the fall man for Benghazi.

00:07:27.320 So it had to be Kamala Harris.

00:07:28.340 But she was really unimpressive.

00:07:30.480 Now, the LA Times won't even endorse Kamala Harris.

00:07:33.060 The LA Times endorsed Joe Biden.

00:07:35.160 You're going to hear the Libs say, well, the reason the LA Times won't endorse is because it has new ownership.

00:07:39.260 Got new ownership in 2018.

00:07:41.000 LA Times endorsed Biden in 2020.

00:07:42.780 Why won't LA Times endorse Kamala in 2024?

00:07:45.620 Because she's a weak candidate. 0.95

00:07:46.660 She's a weaker candidate than Joe Biden.

00:07:49.840 Joe Biden knows it.

00:07:50.900 Joe Biden said it the whole time.

00:07:52.060 And then Joe Biden was pushed to the side anyway in a palace coup.

00:07:54.860 Joe Biden doesn't want Kamala Harris to win.

00:07:58.200 Obviously not.

00:08:00.060 Nobody really seems to like this lady. 0.99

00:08:01.740 Which means that this is a test.

00:08:04.760 This election is a test to see if democracy still matters.

00:08:07.820 You know, Joe Biden said democracy is on the ballot.

00:08:10.000 And he said that to imply, well, I guess he said it explicitly, that Donald Trump's an existential threat to democracy.

00:08:15.620 Which justifies his assassination.

00:08:18.480 But democracy is, in a sense, on the ballot.

00:08:21.140 Not because I'm saying Kamala Harris is, you know, this unique existential threat to the country or anything like it.

00:08:27.560 But she's just so obviously unpopular. 0.97

00:08:30.580 Trump is so obviously doing well.

00:08:33.140 The polls all look great for him.

00:08:34.440 The issues all look great for him.

00:08:36.260 The sympathy generated in the campaign looks great for him.

00:08:40.120 Everything looks great for him.

00:08:42.660 If Republicans can't win this election, I'm not sure we can win elections.

00:08:45.620 I'm not sure it matters how popular a candidate is anymore.

00:08:49.400 I'm not sure that we really live under the same kind of regime that we lived under for a long time.

00:08:53.680 That's what it means to say democracy is on the ballot in 2024.

00:08:59.360 By all rights, Kamala should pretty much have no chance in this election. 0.77

00:09:03.440 The fact that we're wondering if she'll make it.

00:09:06.660 The fact that so many people are saying, look, if it were a fair election, Trump would obviously win.

00:09:10.780 But who knows, PBS and the liberal establishment are already telling us we're not going to get the results until what?

00:09:17.120 Until we assume the Democrats can find all the votes they need to push this woman over the edge. 1.00

00:09:23.260 It's not just Kamala that's awful. 0.95

00:09:24.940 Waltz is also awful.

00:09:26.940 Tim Walz, stumping desperately in the final days of the campaign against Trump, 0.99

00:09:31.120 decides to insult former President Trump by insinuating that he is a homosexual. 0.97

00:09:38.920 Take it away. 0.97

00:09:40.040 Everything he does is fake.

00:09:48.300 Next, next, he's going to be telling you he's a cop or a construction worker.

00:09:54.560 Because he dances to the village people, so he knows it's YMCA.

00:10:01.120 And I'll tell you this, though, that five minutes he stood next to the deep fryer, I'll guarantee you that's the hardest that guy's ever worked in his life.

00:10:08.480 He listens to the village people.

00:10:10.880 You get it? 0.99

00:10:11.600 He's gay. 0.99

00:10:12.200 I'm calling him gay. 1.00

00:10:13.100 He's a big, fat homosexual. 1.00

00:10:15.940 Isn't that funny? 1.00

00:10:16.740 He's.

00:10:17.380 Hold on.

00:10:18.560 Hold on.

00:10:19.020 It's.

00:10:19.280 I mean, look, childhood taunts are kind of funny.

00:10:23.400 It's funny when children say them.

00:10:24.820 It's not really funny when overgrown children like Tim Walz say them.

00:10:29.920 But that is the insult here.

00:10:31.920 Make no bones about it.

00:10:33.480 He.

00:10:34.060 The insult here when he says Donald Trump, he dances to the village people. 1.00

00:10:38.080 He's saying Trump's gay. 1.00

00:10:39.760 Hey, you big gay. 1.00

00:10:41.180 You're a big, dumb gay. 1.00

00:10:42.500 But hold on. 1.00

00:10:43.000 I thought it was good to be gay. 0.66

00:10:46.100 I thought Tim Walz was pro LGBT.

00:10:49.100 I thought Tim Walz founded the Gay Straight Alliance back in the 90s when he was a high school coach.

00:10:54.220 It's a little odd, but he did that.

00:10:55.820 He did that anyway.

00:10:56.700 Then he put tampons in the boys bathroom when he was governor of Minnesota because he thinks that some boys need tampons.

00:11:02.620 I thought he was the pro LGBT candidate. 0.63

00:11:04.360 But you scratch a little bit below the surface and he is more than willing to use gay as an insult, which is true of so many libs. 0.75

00:11:11.600 It tells you so much, not just about Tim Walz and Donald Trump or whatever.

00:11:15.680 It tells you so much about the LGBT activism broadly.

00:11:21.400 Because you scratch these guys a little bit and they will use gay LGBT as an insult.

00:11:28.460 Whenever they insinuate that their critics are homosexuals themselves, they're obviously not complimenting their critics. 0.91

00:11:37.920 They're using that as a term of injury.

00:11:41.600 Why?

00:11:42.240 Because they are acknowledging, even the LGBT activists are acknowledging, that it's not ideal.

00:11:48.660 Okay, the LGBT stuff, it's not ideal. 1.00

00:11:50.620 It's aberrant.

00:11:51.360 It's a little deviant.

00:11:52.220 It's not to be desired.

00:11:53.340 So the next time anyone accuses the Republicans of homophobia or transphobia or this phobia or that phobia, blame that clip of Tim Walz. 0.87

00:12:03.220 Blame that clip of any lib insinuating that a Republican is a homosexual or a transsexual or a pansexual or whatever sexual as an insult. 0.58

00:12:12.140 They all, they mean the exact same thing.

00:12:14.920 It's just that the conservatives, when we suggest that we shouldn't trans the kids because it's not good for them, it's not a desirable identity to have. 0.77

00:12:23.440 At least the conservatives are being honest and sincere about it.

00:12:27.620 Earnest.

00:12:27.940 Earnest.

00:12:29.360 The libs. 0.99

00:12:30.640 Just being nasty little children. 0.99

00:12:32.740 I'm done with it. 0.83

00:12:33.920 There's so much more to say.

00:14:18.180 You can get the Mayflower Collection of Candles, which are in really nice colored glass cases.

00:14:25.120 Or I guess glass cases of color we're supposed to say these days.

00:14:28.800 You can get it all at thecandleclub.com.

00:14:31.080 It is historic.

00:14:31.900 Speaking of historic events.

00:14:35.780 Kamala Harris has just been asked by NBC News about the historic nature of her candidacy.

00:14:44.600 You've been reluctant to lean into it, to talk about the historic nature of your candidacy on the campaign trail.

00:14:50.580 Why is that?

00:14:52.100 Well, I'm clearly a woman.

00:14:53.600 I don't need to point that out to anyone.

00:14:55.760 But the point that most people really care about is, can you do the job?

00:15:01.460 And do you have a plan to actually focus on them?

00:15:04.860 I hear you on that.

00:15:05.680 That is why I spend the majority of my time listening and then addressing the concerns, the challenges, the dreams, the ambitions, and the aspirations of the American people.

00:15:15.400 The historic nature of her candidacy, what is historic about Kamala Harris' candidacy?

00:15:21.360 She's the second woman to be the Democrat nominee for president? 1.00

00:15:26.120 What's historic about that?

00:15:28.440 She's not the first.

00:15:29.140 Hillary Clinton was the first and she lost.

00:15:30.800 She's right now looking likely like the second woman to be beaten by Donald Trump while running for president. 1.00

00:15:39.320 I guess what is historic here is actually Trump's candidacy.

00:15:42.800 That Trump could be, again, I don't want to count our chickens before they hatch.

00:15:47.960 Also because the Democrats have so many shenanigans.

00:15:50.540 But right now, according to the polls and the political wins, Donald Trump could be the man who defeated both future first woman presidents, which is very funny.

00:16:06.080 You know, I'm beginning to see why maybe Donald, why Joe Biden had to win in 2020.

00:16:11.460 It was to give President Trump the opportunity to defeat both future first woman presidents, shatter the glass ceiling, smash the patriarchy. 1.00

00:16:20.140 I'm woman, hear me roar.

00:16:21.600 I'm a tough boss girl or whatever.

00:16:23.400 You know, Trump had to be the figure because that's the funniest way that that plays out.

00:16:28.780 Other than that, I don't see how this is an historic candidacy.

00:16:32.100 And so Kamala is running away from it. 0.99

00:16:33.140 You can hear in the answer, she doesn't want to talk about being the first woman because she is the DEI candidate.

00:16:41.820 Because it's a little too real and people don't like affirmative action picks and they don't like DEI candidates.

00:16:47.440 But Joe Biden called her a DEI candidate.

00:16:49.320 It's not just me who's saying that.

00:16:50.980 Joe Biden said that diversity, equality, and inclusion pervades his administration all the way up to the office of the vice president.

00:16:57.960 He decided to pick a black woman just for being a black woman before he ever thought about picking Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:17:03.420 So by leaning into the historic, supposedly, nature of her candidacy, Kamala's admitting, yeah, I'm not particularly qualified, but I have the right genitals.

00:17:17.080 So, and, you know, maybe they're talking, they're implying some racial aspect to it too.

00:17:22.680 So I'm, I got the right genitals, I got the right skin color.

00:17:25.140 So that's why, that's why my candidacy matters.

00:17:27.720 Has nothing to do with my accomplishments, of which she has basically none.

00:17:31.080 Has nothing to do with her policy vision, which is neither clear nor popular.

00:17:36.300 Has nothing to do with her popularity, which is non-existent.

00:17:39.700 It's just because she happened to tick a few boxes on the DEI form, and that's how she ended up where she is, according to her boss, Joe Biden.

00:17:50.460 May be a good reason.

00:17:52.240 I actually agree with her not to lean into that historic candidacy.

00:17:57.140 Though, I don't want to let the white men of the Democratic Party off the hook.

00:18:00.620 Look, Tim Walls is exactly as unimpressive as Kamala Harris is, maybe more so. 0.97

00:18:07.380 Because Tim Walls is also just plain vulgar.

00:18:10.740 Tim Walls campaigning decided to go after not just Trump, not just J.D. Vance, but also Elon Musk.

00:18:17.760 Elon's on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dip on these things.

00:18:23.800 You know it.

00:18:30.620 Elon Musk, he's walking around, skipping like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T.

00:18:39.840 I'm Tim Walls.

00:18:42.400 It's kind of a funny line.

00:18:44.940 If, I don't know if Dave Chappelle had said that line, Bill Burr or somebody.

00:18:51.440 The reason it doesn't work when Tim Walls says that line is, well, you can see it in the ad that the Republicans started running immediately afterward,

00:18:59.380 which is that audio on top of Tim Walls skipping around like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T.

00:19:06.420 Jumping around, skipping like a dip.

00:19:09.020 Jumping around, skipping like a dip.

00:19:11.600 Jumping around, skipping like a dip.

00:19:14.220 Jumping around, skipping like a dip.

00:19:17.160 It doesn't work.

00:19:18.980 It doesn't work when you exhibit those behaviors.

00:19:22.980 You even see what the schoolyard taunt at the top. 0.97

00:19:25.660 Tim Walls calls Trump gay. 0.89

00:19:28.000 That can be funny in a vulgar kind of way, in a crude kind of way, but it can be funny. 0.97

00:19:33.840 It's just, it's not funny if you're the guy who put tampons in the boys' bathroom in the elementary schools.

00:19:39.580 It's not as funny.

00:19:41.700 It doesn't really land when you're the guy who begged trans kids to come to your state to make Minnesota into the windowless white van of the Midwest 0.96

00:19:50.980 because you want to care for the poor trans kids because you're so pro-LGBT.

00:19:55.540 Then it just doesn't work.

00:19:57.020 And you can't make fun of a guy for jumping around like a D-I-P-S-H-I-T if you yourself have exhibited that same behavior. 0.99

00:20:03.360 It also doesn't work if your campaign is predicated on restoring some dignity and seriousness and adulthood and maturity to the White House.

00:20:14.980 This Donald Trump, he's a vulgarian. 0.52

00:20:18.180 This Donald Trump, we can't have any more years of this vulgar, boorish, chaotic, mean tweeting. 0.96

00:20:24.960 But these people are at least as vulgar as Trump, and I think they're much more vulgar than Trump.

00:20:32.480 I think President Trump is following, you know, Emily Post's Guide to Etiquette to a T compared to these people.

00:20:43.280 The attacks just don't work.

00:20:47.660 Now, speaking of Elon Musk, Elon Musk is making a great point on the campaign trail,

00:20:52.740 not just about the opponents, not just about how they look or how they act or anything like that.

00:20:58.880 He's not even just making a point about this election.

00:21:00.660 He's making a point about the systemic problems going on in the country all the way down to the classroom,

00:21:09.160 all the way in the way that we educate our next generation.

00:21:11.840 There's so much more to say.

00:21:12.740 First, though, go to SupremeCoup.com slash Knowles.

00:21:16.960 Let me tell you about a looming threat to our constitutional republic that the mainstream media won't cover.

00:21:21.660 The radical left is plotting a Supreme Court coup.

00:21:24.400 They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

00:21:26.520 These progressive ideologues want to eliminate the court's conservative majority

00:21:29.680 by packing it with their own hand-picked justices.

00:21:32.220 Here's the frightening part.

00:21:33.700 If one party controls the House, Senate, and presidency come January,

00:21:36.720 they could restructure the court overnight.

00:21:38.680 This is Venezuela-style court packing.

00:21:41.100 It would spell the end of judicial independence and the rule of law as we know it.

00:21:45.420 First Liberty is leading the charge to protect the Supreme Court from this radical plan.

00:21:49.800 They're fighting to preserve the legitimacy of the court

00:21:52.440 and the separation of powers that safeguards our freedoms.

00:21:54.960 Don't let them Venezuela your United States. 1.00

00:21:58.440 Go to SupremeCoup.com slash Knowles.

00:22:01.320 That is Supreme, C-O-U-P dot com slash Knowles

00:22:06.280 to learn how you can help stop the left's takeover of the Supreme Court.

00:22:10.780 The future of our country is in your hands.

00:22:12.940 Check out SupremeCoup.com slash Knowles today.

00:22:17.160 Elon Musk is warning, especially young Americans, but American parents too,

00:22:23.960 who have young American kids, about a major problem that's going to affect

00:22:29.640 not just one election cycle or two election cycles, but generations.

00:22:33.320 And it's the crisis of education.

00:22:35.200 I also think that the value of a college education is somewhat overweighted.

00:22:39.620 You know, and I think it's too many people actually spend four years,

00:22:47.340 accumulate a ton of debt, and then often don't have useful skills

00:22:51.640 that they can apply afterwards.

00:22:52.900 And I think I have a lot of respect for people who work with their hands

00:22:56.580 and we need electricians and plumbers and carpenters.

00:23:02.380 And, you know, that's a lot more important

00:23:08.900 than having incremental political science majors, I think.

00:23:14.620 You know, so I think we should not have this idea

00:23:18.600 that to be successful you need to have a four-year college.

00:23:22.180 That is simply not true.

00:23:23.600 Okay, he's right about everything he said, but that's only half the story.

00:23:28.760 It's actually the real situation is much worse than Elon Musk says it is.

00:23:32.880 Because it's not just that college grads no longer have useful skills.

00:23:38.280 The deeper problem is that college grads no longer have even useless skills.

00:23:43.220 Because the point of college, we need electricians, we need plumbers, we need tradesmen,

00:23:49.120 we need engineers, we need businessmen, we need medical doctors, we need lawyers,

00:23:54.640 we need all sorts of people who do a trade and who do jobs, of course.

00:23:59.900 That is not the purpose of a university education.

00:24:03.440 Now, I guess in practice it is.

00:24:05.280 People go and they major in something really technical or practical,

00:24:08.420 and they go and they take out a lot of debt

00:24:10.220 because they hope it's going to get them some job someday.

00:24:12.320 That's not really what university education is for.

00:24:15.880 That's not what liberal education and the liberal arts are for.

00:24:19.360 Actually, liberal arts education is to teach you useless skills

00:24:24.360 that will ultimately be extremely edifying and in the long run quite useful in your life.

00:24:31.380 But it's not to teach you how to be a carpenter.

00:24:33.020 It's not to teach you how to be an electrician.

00:24:34.400 It's not to teach you business.

00:24:35.560 It's not to teach you how to be a doctor.

00:24:36.640 It's not to teach you how to be a lawyer.

00:24:38.980 It's to teach you the liberal arts.

00:24:42.260 It's to teach you how to make sense of your freedom.

00:24:45.180 It's to expose you to a lot of dusty old books in the great cultural tradition.

00:24:50.660 It's to help form your soul.

00:24:52.380 It's to help you be a better person and to be a happy person.

00:24:56.560 It's to teach you what happiness really is.

00:24:58.820 It's to cultivate virtue.

00:25:01.600 It's to teach you that happiness, in the words of Aristotle, in the Nicomachean Ethics,

00:25:06.160 which is one of those dusty old books that people used to read in university,

00:25:09.020 that happiness is a rational activity in accordance with virtue conducted with excellence.

00:25:15.060 That's the point of university education.

00:25:16.720 It's to read dusty old books and to think about abstract mathematics and to ponder the heavens

00:25:23.380 and think about human nature, what it means to be free, how we really can be free, to shake

00:25:28.840 off bad vices.

00:25:29.940 Now in universities, we just basically cultivate these awful vices.

00:25:33.740 It's to cultivate virtue.

00:25:35.840 It's to be happy.

00:25:37.520 It's to be in command of your freedom so that you can learn how to do a job, so that you can

00:25:42.280 learn to be an electrician or a plumber or a doctor or a lawyer or a whatever.

00:25:46.220 That's the point of it.

00:25:48.600 University education is not necessarily for everyone.

00:25:52.000 Historically speaking, it was really just for a relatively small group of people because

00:25:58.000 not everyone totally needs it.

00:25:59.960 Not everyone's going to be as adept at it as other people.

00:26:04.220 And also, your time could be better spent doing other things and cultivating virtues in

00:26:11.140 another way.

00:26:12.440 But there was university education for the people who did want that.

00:26:16.880 Now that barely exists.

00:26:18.540 That's the problem.

00:26:20.120 So college costs way more than it ever has and way more than it should.

00:26:23.820 It doesn't teach you any useful skills.

00:26:25.840 It lures you in on the fair premise that if you get a four-year college education, you might

00:26:31.720 get a good job.

00:26:32.660 And it is true. 0.71

00:26:33.380 It's predictive of making money down the line.

00:26:36.400 Though the cost of that is very high now and the quality of the education is much lower.

00:26:39.940 But kids are told, you got to go to a four-year college to get a good job.

00:26:44.280 So they take out $200,000 in debt and they go to college.

00:26:47.300 They don't learn any useful skills.

00:26:49.300 But the tragedy that Elon's missing is they don't even learn the useless skills.

00:26:54.120 They don't get anything for it.

00:26:55.760 Unless they go to a handful of colleges, I'm thinking of places like Hillsdale, Franciscan,

00:27:00.900 Ave Maria, maybe Thomas Aquinas College, maybe Liberty, maybe a handful of places that still

00:27:06.260 take that somewhat seriously.

00:27:07.920 Maybe at the really elite schools, maybe it's possible to still get a proper education.

00:27:15.280 No, it's increasingly difficult. 0.99

00:27:16.800 A lot of times you're funneled into gender studies, AFAM studies, the stupid studies, that 1.00

00:27:20.600 stupid studies. 1.00

00:27:21.920 So you don't even get that. 1.00

00:27:23.760 And you end up spending four years cultivating vices, losing virtues, being filled with a bunch

00:27:30.860 of gobbledygook nonsense that will damage your life down the line.

00:27:34.920 And, oh, also, you don't know how to do anything practically.

00:27:39.180 It's even worse.

00:27:40.800 I'm like the conservative optimist.

00:27:42.960 Elon here is the conservative pessimist.

00:27:44.780 Says things can't get any worse.

00:27:46.000 College is as bad as it could possibly be.

00:27:47.660 I say, no, it's actually even worse than you think it is.

00:27:50.460 Now, speaking of the poorly educated, Kamala Harris has just been exposed for plagiarizing 1.00

00:27:55.520 at least a dozen sections of her book.

00:27:58.260 This by the great Christopher Ruffo, who has exposed a lot of plagiarism on the left in recent

00:28:03.840 months.

00:28:04.920 Kamala has this book, Smart on Crime.

00:28:08.520 It's a book, obviously, on criminal justice.

00:28:10.660 There's an investigation conducted by Dr. Stefan Weber, a famed Austrian plagiarism hunter

00:28:16.920 who has taken down a number of politicians.

00:28:20.180 And Chris just posted a handful of examples here.

00:28:24.180 But you can see on the left-hand side, you've got in red and in yellow here what Kamala Harris

00:28:31.080 wrote.

00:28:31.800 And then on the right-hand side, you can see a Wikipedia page entry with the same red highlight,

00:28:37.780 the same yellow highlight, basically just cut and paste it.

00:28:40.500 And many, many other examples from other sources that she stole from, other reports, but even

00:28:46.560 Wikipedia.

00:28:48.580 I'm not saying you shouldn't consult Wikipedia.

00:28:50.600 Wikipedia can be a fine place to start, but then you've got to read books.

00:28:53.880 You know, then you have to read scholarly articles, then you have to maybe do some investigation

00:28:58.620 on your own.

00:28:59.340 But if you're copying and pasting Wikipedia in your book, and you're an attorney general,

00:29:05.220 a U.S. senator, vice president, and you're running for president, that is weak.

00:29:08.660 That is really tough stuff.

00:29:09.840 And this is a tough scandal for Kamala.

00:29:12.100 It's a tougher scandal for Kamala than it would be for other politicians, because it confirms

00:29:18.260 a weakness that many people already expected.

00:29:22.200 Namely, that Kamala doesn't know anything.

00:29:24.520 She's a contrived candidate. 1.00

00:29:25.820 If it were Trump, if Trump somehow got caught in a plagiarism scandal, which he hasn't, but

00:29:31.380 if he had, I don't think people would really bat an eyelash, because people don't think

00:29:36.720 of Trump as really seriously writing his own books, or, you know, obviously the guy's got

00:29:42.300 speech writers and book writers and all sorts of, you know, he's a, the guy's been a media

00:29:47.320 mogul, top business mogul, and now president for many, many years.

00:29:52.420 But we know that Trump knows what he believes.

00:29:55.720 We know that Trump writes a lot of his own speeches because he just goes off the cuff.

00:30:00.360 He doesn't have prompters a lot of the time.

00:30:02.040 He doesn't have notes a lot of the time.

00:30:03.540 So people attack him for what he's saying, but you can believe what he's saying is coming

00:30:06.860 from the heart.

00:30:07.640 With Kamala, has she ever said anything off script?

00:30:11.120 Do we know what she believes about anything?

00:30:12.760 What does she believe about crime? 0.52

00:30:14.380 This is the book, Smart on Crime.

00:30:15.860 Okay, does Kamala think we need to get tougher on crime or we need to go weaker on crime?

00:30:19.940 Now, if you're a Kamala supporter listening to the show right now, do you have an answer

00:30:24.040 to that question?

00:30:25.840 No, because when she was AG in California, she talked like she wanted to get tougher on

00:30:30.080 crime.

00:30:30.440 Then when she was a US senator, she talked like she wanted to abolish prisons and bail the 0.99

00:30:33.920 violent rioters from the George Floyd riots out of jail.

00:30:37.760 So which is it?

00:30:38.560 We just don't know.

00:30:40.700 Kamala Harris.

00:30:41.220 On drugs, does she want to legalize drugs, decriminalize drugs? 1.00

00:30:44.620 Does she want to get tougher on drugs? 1.00

00:30:46.900 As AG, she wanted to get tougher when she was senator running for VP. 0.98

00:30:51.220 She wanted to get looser.

00:30:54.340 Kamala on fracking.

00:30:55.340 Does she want to ban fracking? 1.00

00:30:56.400 Does she want to expand fracking? 1.00

00:30:57.420 She's said both.

00:30:59.620 Kamala on the border.

00:31:00.960 Does she want to get tough on the border? 0.92

00:31:01.940 Does she want to open the border? 0.98

00:31:02.760 She's said and done.

00:31:04.160 She's said both things and she's opened the border.

00:31:06.720 So she's contradicted what she said.

00:31:09.640 Nobody knows.

00:31:10.240 Nobody knows what she believes.

00:31:11.520 She probably doesn't know what she believes.

00:31:13.380 It's a bad scandal because it just underscores what we all already know.

00:31:17.760 Still, some people want to vote for her.

00:31:19.760 Like Liz Cheney, former fake Republican Liz Cheney, wants still, even after all the failures,

00:31:28.560 to support Kamala Harris.

00:31:31.040 And she does it because she just personally hates Donald Trump. 0.95

00:31:34.200 Because she got into a personal battle with Donald Trump and Trump won and Trump got her

00:31:39.280 booted out of Congress and she's out for personal revenge. 1.00

00:31:42.100 She is now, in order to obtain that revenge, she is contradicting every principle she ever

00:31:48.660 even pretended to hold to stump for Kamala Harris to get back at the mean orange man who 0.85

00:31:54.580 kicked her out of Congress.

00:31:55.400 And so she doesn't have much of an argument to make here.

00:31:59.780 So her argument is that you should vote for Kamala even if you disagree with her on life,

00:32:05.060 even if you disagree with her on the economy and migration and foreign policy and trancing the

00:32:10.340 kids and this and that and this and that, you should vote for her because you wouldn't hire 1.00

00:32:16.180 Trump to babysit your kids. 0.98

00:32:19.040 If you think about how you conduct, you know, your life outside of politics, how we all conduct

00:32:24.620 our everyday lives, those are the kinds of people that you trust.

00:32:28.320 Those are the kinds of people you can work with.

00:32:30.440 Like if you wouldn't, if you wouldn't hire somebody to babysit your kids, like you shouldn't

00:32:35.760 make that guy the president of the United States.

00:32:37.620 I wouldn't hire any guy to babysit my kids.

00:32:48.460 That's the most obvious weakness of this argument.

00:32:54.880 Would you hire a guy to babysit your kids?

00:32:57.760 I would not hire a guy to babysit my kids.

00:33:00.080 That's weird if a guy is babysitting, girls babysit. 1.00

00:33:03.580 We're very confused now.

00:33:04.820 The Democrats are obviously confused and Liz Cheney appears to be a Democrat.

00:33:07.620 So she's confused about what marriage is.

00:33:09.180 So she's confused about what a man is and what a woman is. 0.98

00:33:12.240 I guess it's no surprise that Liz Cheney thinks that it's normal to hire a guy, a man to babysit 0.96

00:33:18.920 your kid.

00:33:19.240 But that's not the thing that men do.

00:33:21.600 That's more of a thing for women to do. 1.00

00:33:22.980 So according to her argument, really, most people would only ever vote for a woman president.

00:33:30.960 Does babysitting your kid, does the ability to babysit a kid?

00:33:34.820 Have anything to do with being the president of the United States?

00:33:38.100 It seems to me that if you're a good babysitter, you would probably be a terrible president.

00:33:45.240 Because babysitters are really nurturing.

00:33:48.620 They're really nice.

00:33:50.720 They're good at preparing snacks.

00:33:53.620 They can read stories.

00:33:55.800 They can roll around, I guess, a little bit, maybe on the floor with the, but if you're

00:34:02.540 the president, you have to negotiate with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, and you have

00:34:07.960 to outfox the people who are trying to assassinate you.

00:34:10.720 And you have to, I guess there's, you know, in that way, I guess there's a similarity because

00:34:15.160 sometimes little kids can really be tough on the babysitters.

00:34:17.820 But other than that, there's really nothing to do with it.

00:34:19.700 But this is, this is real weak.

00:34:24.060 And I think it is the best they've got.

00:34:26.440 If Liz Cheney could say, you got to vote for Kamala because she's better on the economy, 1.00

00:34:30.860 she would be saying that.

00:34:32.220 Or because she's better on this issue or that issue, or because she's more competent,

00:34:35.520 or because she's more accomplished, or because she's more of this, they've got nothing.

00:34:38.700 The best, the best you could say is Kamala Harris would be a better babysitter. 1.00

00:34:44.380 And I see no reason to believe that that's true.

00:34:49.520 Kamala Harris, I don't, I don't really mean this as a personal knock on her.

00:34:53.320 She doesn't have kids.

00:34:54.660 Maybe she didn't, I don't know if she tried to have kids. 1.00

00:34:56.460 She didn't, seems like she didn't really want kids that much. 0.98

00:34:58.640 She's a career woman.

00:34:59.440 Okay, that's fine.

00:35:00.180 Some women are career women. 1.00

00:35:00.980 Not everyone's called to have kids.

00:35:01.840 But I don't even, I actually don't even see a compelling argument

00:35:07.300 that Kamala Harris would be a better babysitter. 0.59

00:35:11.280 Certainly not a better president.

00:35:12.700 Get ready, folks.

00:35:13.620 Because in five days, the decade's number one grossing documentary

00:35:16.860 is coming exclusively to Daily Wire Plus.

00:35:19.140 That's right.

00:35:19.780 Am I Racist?

00:35:20.580 Starring Matt Walsh is arriving on Monday, October 28th.

00:35:24.480 Making a movie and getting into theaters across the country

00:35:26.720 is a monumental and costly endeavor.

00:35:29.380 However, we are doing the work.

00:35:31.880 We're doing the work, just like Matt told us to do in that workshop.

00:35:34.700 But we can't do it without your support.

00:35:36.620 Head on over to dailywire.com slash subscribe.

00:35:38.720 Use code DEI for 35% off your new membership today.

00:35:42.520 My favorite comment yesterday is from Devin Rossi,

00:35:45.560 who says, vote twice as hard because the Dems will be voting twice as often.

00:35:49.740 Very true.

00:35:51.320 And there's some people who are really blackpilled here.

00:35:53.860 Real doomers.

00:35:54.580 They say, well, who cares?

00:35:56.440 We shouldn't vote because, you know, they're going to rig the votes.

00:35:59.700 They're trying to rig the votes.

00:36:01.060 Yeah, they are trying to rig the votes.

00:36:02.600 You're right.

00:36:04.000 So we shouldn't vote.

00:36:04.900 We should just give up.

00:36:07.540 What good is that going to do?

00:36:08.840 Well, then, you know, then we won't be giving credibility to the system.

00:36:12.720 Oh, okay.

00:36:13.760 And then they'll just win anyway.

00:36:17.280 And then what?

00:36:18.200 Then you can complain?

00:36:19.700 Or then you can feel high and mighty because you didn't ever fall for it?

00:36:23.860 What?

00:36:24.000 But they're not omnipotent, guys.

00:36:28.340 They're not omnipotent.

00:36:30.460 If they were omnipotent, if they had this election totally in the bag,

00:36:34.560 they wouldn't be campaigning this desperately right now.

00:36:37.280 They wouldn't be throwing spaghetti at the wall like this.

00:36:40.260 The Democrats obviously believe there is a chance,

00:36:43.500 a pretty significant chance that they lose.

00:36:45.720 That is good.

00:36:46.540 That's why you got to go out there and vote.

00:36:48.840 Vote real hard.

00:36:49.920 So Liz Cheney is helping the Democrats.

00:36:55.080 Meanwhile, a Democrat has just announced that she is joining the GOP.

00:37:00.340 That would be former member of Congress,

00:37:03.800 former presidential candidate for the Democrats, Tulsi Gabbard.

00:37:08.520 And it is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that

00:37:14.500 President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party

00:37:20.900 of the people and the party of peace that I'm proud to stand here with you today,

00:37:26.520 President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party.

00:37:30.500 I'm joining the party of the people, the party of equality,

00:37:39.720 the party that was founded to fight against and end slavery in this country.

00:37:45.600 It is the party of common sense and the party that is led by a president

00:37:50.460 who has the courage and strength to fight for peace.

00:37:56.620 Here we go, baby.

00:37:57.920 Welcome, Tulsi.

00:37:58.740 That's great.

00:37:59.500 I love it.

00:38:00.500 Come on in.

00:38:01.580 The water is warm.

00:38:02.660 I think this is fabulous.

00:38:04.060 I really like Tulsi Gabbard.

00:38:05.380 I think this is fabulous.

00:38:07.360 Some people, you're going to hear some malcontents who can't take yes for an answer,

00:38:13.320 who must seize defeat from the jaws of victory, who complain about this.

00:38:19.260 And they're going to complain that welcoming people like Tulsi Gabbard into the party, 0.72

00:38:23.720 or who knows, maybe Bobby Kennedy.

00:38:25.320 He's not a Republican yet, but maybe he would become a Republican.

00:38:27.960 That that will be bad for us because it will water down what it means to be a Republican.

00:38:32.580 It will, the tent will become too big.

00:38:34.820 It'll all fall down.

00:38:35.900 There's always a risk.

00:38:38.960 There's a risk to anything in life.

00:38:40.220 However, you don't actually have to choose between having a big tent and having ideological purity and philosophical consistency.

00:38:49.140 You don't have to do that.

00:38:50.180 What you can do, I think, is seize on opportunities to make new friends.

00:38:57.420 Politics comes down probably in a more fundamental way, even beyond ideological disagreement.

00:39:04.020 It comes down to friends and enemies.

00:39:06.780 It comes down to your allies and your opponents, people on your side, people on the other side.

00:39:11.800 But we could seize the opportunity to make new friends and then guide those friends more deeply into conservatism.

00:39:22.400 We've all been there, haven't we?

00:39:24.240 Maybe not all of us.

00:39:25.160 Some of you out there have been rock-ribbed since the day you were born. 0.73

00:39:28.200 Some of us got a little squishy.

00:39:30.480 All right?

00:39:30.800 At certain points, I've been a little bit squishy.

00:39:32.480 I've been a little, look, I was a libertarian at one time, okay?

00:39:36.220 I was, I've been, I've called myself fiscally conservative, socially liberal, you know, all these kind of, I'm so embarrassed of that now.

00:39:43.560 It's, oh, I feel such shame.

00:39:44.920 But people go through those phases, especially if you come as I do, as many of you do, from a liberal culture, in liberal places.

00:39:54.720 You start to say, wait a second.

00:39:56.560 First thing, wait a second.

00:39:58.720 Maybe government spends too much money and wastes money. 0.85

00:40:02.560 Wait a second.

00:40:03.200 Maybe government's not totally fair.

00:40:04.660 And you kind of fall into a fashionable libertarianism.

00:40:08.520 And then maybe you say, wait a second.

00:40:10.860 Hold on.

00:40:11.120 Maybe there's something deeper going on here.

00:40:12.660 Wait a second.

00:40:13.120 Maybe, maybe the, the way that we talk about liberty is not quite right.

00:40:17.420 Wait a second.

00:40:18.000 Maybe human nature is a little different than the libs tell us it is.

00:40:20.580 Hey, wait a second.

00:40:21.400 And you kind of move more deeply into conservatism.

00:40:24.700 You know, it's kind of like the Milton Friedman to Thomas Aquinas pipeline.

00:40:31.040 You know, you start out and you just, it's all.

00:40:34.660 All the kind of big government's bad or whatever, you know.

00:40:37.580 And then you say, well, why is it bad?

00:40:39.600 Well, because it, it actually misunderstands justice and it misunderstands human nature, which

00:40:46.280 means, oh, there is such a thing as justice, which means there has to be a just lawgiver

00:40:50.420 to create the just laws.

00:40:51.820 And there's such a thing as human nature.

00:40:53.440 And man is made in the image and likeness of God.

00:40:55.500 And that means that we're reasonable and we can know certain things.

00:40:58.240 But it means that our reason is a little bit broken in this fallen world.

00:41:01.180 And it means that, well, we're not actually fundamentally individuals, you know, who fell

00:41:06.060 out of a coconut tree to quote Kamala Harris.

00:41:07.700 We're actually a political animal.

00:41:09.000 We're a social creature.

00:41:10.720 So actually there is such a thing as the common good, but it's not what the libs tell us

00:41:14.000 it is.

00:41:14.180 And it's not even what the libertarians tell us it is.

00:41:15.860 It's actually this other thing.

00:41:16.840 And then before you know it, you end up to the right of Attila the Hun.

00:41:20.400 That happens.

00:41:22.140 And so I think, okay, if someone like a Tulsi Gabbard is, is still in those early stages

00:41:27.840 over here, but she's become, she's manifestly become more conservative than she was five 0.99

00:41:32.280 years ago.

00:41:33.680 How about we encourage her?

00:41:35.480 How about we bring people over?

00:41:36.860 How about we recognize politics as the art of inclusion and recognize the politics is

00:41:41.580 also the art of the possible, the art of the second best.

00:41:44.260 And we just start to kind of do stuff with the real people that we actually need in this

00:41:49.120 historic world to get anything done.

00:41:51.720 How about we do that?

00:41:52.720 I say, welcome, Tulsi.

00:41:53.900 Glad to have you.

00:41:54.700 This is fabulous.

00:41:56.940 The water is warm.

00:41:58.420 Come on in even more deeply.

00:42:00.560 The shallows are fun, but when you come into the deeper part, oh, it's even nicer.

00:42:04.440 Come on in.

00:42:05.440 Love it.

00:42:06.680 Now, speaking of the Democrats switching sides, people like Bobby Kennedy, he's not a Republican

00:42:10.420 yet, but he just made one of the greatest posts I've seen of the entire campaign.

00:42:16.700 Bobby Kennedy Jr. is a long one.

00:42:18.740 I'll try to read it quickly.

00:42:20.720 He says, fast food is part, no, I'm sorry, I don't mean to make, he's got a medical condition.

00:42:24.340 I don't mean to make fun of that.

00:42:25.340 Fast food is a part of American culture, but that doesn't mean it has to be unhealthy

00:42:29.020 and that we can't make better choices.

00:42:31.040 Did you know that McDonald's used to use beef tallow to make their fries from 1940 until phasing

00:42:35.880 it out in favor of seed oils in 1990?

00:42:37.360 This switch was made because saturated animal fats were thought to be unhealthy, but we have

00:42:42.200 since discovered that seed oils are one of the driving causes of the obesity epidemic.

00:42:46.280 Interestingly enough, this began to drastically rise around the same time fast food restaurants

00:42:50.180 switched from beef tallow to seed oils in their fryers.

00:42:54.080 People who enjoy a burger with fries on a night out are not to blame, and Americans should

00:42:58.780 have every right to eat out at a restaurant without being unknowingly poisoned by heavily

00:43:03.260 subsidized seed oils.

00:43:04.060 It's time to make frying oil tallow again.

00:43:07.940 I love this so much.

00:43:09.040 Some of you know, I've been on a little bit of a jihad against the seed oils.

00:43:13.560 I always thought that hippy-dippy, crunchy stuff was insane.

00:43:16.780 Sweet little Alisa got into it, and I got to tell you, as she's cooked with all the nicer,

00:43:21.400 fancy oils with the college-educated eggs and all the rest of it, I do feel better.

00:43:26.660 I feel I'm dragging a little bit less.

00:43:28.840 It turns out when you eat good foods, you actually feel better.

00:43:32.040 That used to be the left-wing position, now it's the right-wing position.

00:43:35.860 More evidence of a realignment of the parties, which is bringing people like Tulsi and Bobby

00:43:40.700 Kennedy over.

00:43:41.520 But specifically here, the beef tallow, I think it's kind of funny because Trump just did

00:43:46.220 this whole thing at McDonald's.

00:43:48.020 It's a great campaign stunt.

00:43:49.720 Bobby Kennedy here saying McDonald's is really terrible because they switched from tallow to

00:43:53.900 seed oils.

00:43:55.120 Well, this is Hegelian.

00:43:56.860 You know, this is dialectic.

00:43:58.180 Obviously, you have the thesis, McDonald's is delicious, Trump loves eating Big Macs all

00:44:03.000 day.

00:44:03.480 You have the antithesis, which is Bobby Kennedy saying that seed oils are evil, used in the

00:44:09.760 fries at McDonald's.

00:44:10.840 The synthesis is, we need our beef tallow back, baby.

00:44:16.680 And it's really delightful because this has been a meme.

00:44:20.160 The seed oil thing, a lot of people don't, they don't actually even really care about seed

00:44:23.380 oils or whatever, they don't know anything about canola oil or whatever, but it's a meme.

00:44:28.860 It's the kind of joke and posture that we imitate because we see it in people that we

00:44:34.400 admire.

00:44:35.020 And it's an indicator of a political side and of a realignment.

00:44:39.400 And it's kind of funny and it's kind of fun.

00:44:41.500 And we are mimetic creatures.

00:44:43.880 We imitate each other.

00:44:45.040 And the internet meme, that little meme magic, some people call it, has made it now all the

00:44:50.000 way up to the presidential level with Bobby Kennedy pushing this and Donald Trump serving

00:44:55.480 up fries at McDonald's.

00:44:56.940 I love it.

00:44:58.080 That kind of a realignment, I think that's very healthy for our country.

00:45:01.880 It can help make America healthy again.

00:45:03.060 It can help make America great again.

00:45:05.000 We have no member block today because speaking of fries, our producers have fried the control

00:45:10.960 room, who it was actually probably the Democrats sending that digital heat seeking missile to

00:45:15.000 stop me from talking about election shenanigans.

00:45:17.760 But in any case, it's very sorry to say no membrum segmentum today.

00:45:21.260 We will be back with that tomorrow.

00:45:24.080 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:45:24.640 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:45:25.280 See you then.

00:45:25.600 The question everyone in America is asking, am I racist?

00:45:43.400 Get a Daily Wire Plus membership to see Am I Racist?

00:45:47.520 This is all I have.

00:45:49.020 Did you want to?

00:45:50.080 I can help you guys out.

00:45:51.000 Yeah.

00:45:54.300 I've been told because I'm a white male, kind of at the top of the pile, how do I get

00:45:58.620 down from the top?

00:45:59.980 I don't think you necessarily can.

00:46:02.380 They're good past all the talk about racism.

00:46:04.980 We have to love each other.

00:46:06.280 It can't be that simple.

00:46:07.440 How do we get to a point of racial harmony? 0.60

00:46:11.220 It's good to talk to you.

00:46:13.900 We're still on a journey, all of us together.

00:46:15.440 I think you've got some journeying to do.

00:46:16.920 Just talk to me about the statistics.

00:46:18.520 We have an epidemic.

00:46:19.060 20 million crimes a year, 6,000, 7,000 hate crimes.

00:46:23.240 No, there's no epidemic.

00:46:24.100 Why are we talking about statistics?

00:46:25.700 This is not a matter of statistics.

00:46:27.440 Well, you asked me about the statistics.

00:46:30.880 Am I Racist?

00:46:32.420 Coming to Daily Wire Plus on October 28th.
