00:00:45.440 box office. A leftist goes viral for celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder and threatening another
00:00:50.840 TPUSA speaker at UT San Antonio. And the Senate race in deep red South Carolina is tied just
00:00:59.640 four days before Election Day. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:21.500 Welcome back to the show. We've got a little bit of good news here. A little bit of good news is
00:01:26.400 that, speaking of radical leftists on campus, ICE is apparently conducting the most ambitious
00:01:33.340 left-wing surveillance program ever in history that's being reported by Wired. So right after
00:01:39.720 Charlie's assassination, there were a lot of us calling for a massive crackdown on radical leftism.
00:01:46.280 Looks like we actually are getting it. We'll get to that in a moment. First, though, a little bit
00:01:50.000 more good news. The first ever fully AI feature film has completely flopped. This was not in the
00:01:56.900 United States. This is in China. Of course, it was China that airs the first ever fully AI feature
00:02:02.360 film. The movie is called Sun Zing Dui Future Past. I think Sun Zing Dui means no ticky,
00:02:09.820 no washy. That's the only Chinese phrase I actually know. The subtitle is Future Past.
00:02:15.040 It was released last week.
00:02:17.980 Here's a little taste of the movie.
00:02:33.760 If you're only listening to this right now,
00:02:38.560 the graphics look pretty impressive.
00:02:40.740 The graphics make it look like it's a $200 million movie or something.
00:02:45.860 I'm not quite sure what they're saying.
00:02:48.180 Okay, releasing October 2026.
00:02:51.020 It grossed like no money.
00:02:53.600 Almost $0.
00:02:54.980 At the box office, it grossed $198,000.
00:02:58.700 Compare this to a Chinese film release earlier this year.
00:03:02.280 A movie called Niu Lai, which had a budget of $200.
00:03:07.360 Not $200,000, not $200 million.
00:03:09.280 at a budget of $200. It looks like your kid made this movie on Minecraft. Here's a very,
00:03:14.740 very brief trailer from that movie. A screensaver on Microsoft 95.
00:03:28.400 And that one sounds more like the Jabba the Hutt language. It makes me think that's a Somali 1.00
00:03:34.020 release. It's not. Both Chinese releases, the first ever super duper amazing graphics
00:03:38.640 AI release grosses $198,000, and New Lie, which was made on a Commodore 64 plugged into a TV
00:03:45.340 screen, made $4 million at the box office. This is great news. You know why this is great news?
00:03:51.580 Because I don't want my life to be run by robots and computers because I do not want to worship 0.98
00:03:58.380 dumb idols lest I become like them. Why is it? On every objective measure, the AI movie looks 0.97
00:04:04.340 way better than the New Lie $200 self-animated movie. Why did the AI movie flop? It flopped
00:04:14.120 for two reasons, and it's something that people don't get about AI, or SI as we're now supposed
00:04:18.540 to call it, super intelligence, artificial intelligence. What they don't get is that AI
00:04:23.620 is particularly bad at art. I'm not saying that the graphics can't be impressive. I'm not saying
00:04:29.020 that the music can't be impressive, but it is bad at doing what art does. Because for art to be
00:04:35.080 interesting rather than merely derivative or slop, for art to be interesting, you have to come up
00:04:41.060 with new metaphors. You have to come up with new images. You need to allow people to see things
00:04:48.100 differently. This is this line I go back to frequently from Joseph Conrad in the introduction
00:04:53.620 to Nigger of Narcissus. He says that the scientist deals in facts and the thinker deals in ideas,
00:05:00.440 but the purpose of art, what the artist is doing, is to let you see something, maybe see something
00:05:05.860 that you hadn't seen before. And AI can't do that because in order to see things anew, you have to
00:05:12.400 have sensual experience. In order to create a new metaphor, you need to be able to touch things and
00:05:17.440 see things, and you need to process those sense perceptions through the power of the intellect,
00:05:24.100 none of which AI has. So it just can't do that. So the art is always going to be slop. It can be
00:05:29.440 dazzling slop. It can be sensational slop. It can be real grade A, USDA, prime certified slop,
00:05:35.960 but it's never going to be art, just intrinsically. That's the one reason.
00:05:39.480 The second reason why people don't want fully AI movies is because we don't trust the robots.
00:05:46.900 When I go see a Coen Brothers movie, it matters to me that the Coen Brothers made it,
00:05:51.380 because I trust the Coen Brothers, because I recognize that the Coen Brothers are good artists,
00:05:55.480 so I'm not wasting my time and money. Two, I recognize that the Coen Brothers understand the
00:05:59.880 world. So the images and the music that are going through my body, penetrating into my soul,
00:06:06.500 that are shaping the way that I see the world and even behave in the world, I trust that the
00:06:10.240 Coen Brothers aren't filling my head with poison. Not to sound like a church lady, 0.84
00:06:14.980 kind of social conservative scold, but I guess I will do that. Really, what I want to do is sound
00:06:19.180 like Plato, who made the same objection in the Republic. We need to be careful about art. I know
00:06:24.480 we live in this modern, freewheeling age where we say, you know, you need to read banned books,
00:06:29.600 and you need to, we can't censor anything. But no, actually, banning some books is probably a good
00:06:35.180 idea, like the Anarchist Cookbook, speaking of left-wing terror, which we'll get to in a minute.
00:06:38.680 I think we should probably ban that book. Porn, we should probably ban those books,
00:06:42.040 and movies and images. There are plenty of things that we should ban.
00:06:47.060 Let's not forget, you know, now the worst possible image you can think of, of an authoritarian,
00:06:52.880 totalitarian society, is burning books. Let's not forget Plato supported burning books. The
00:06:58.860 apostles burned books in the Acts of the Apostles. The great doctors of the church supported burning
00:07:04.920 books. Martin Luther, the leader of Protestantism, he burned some books. There is an argument to
00:07:12.480 burning some books. You don't want to burn like Anna Karenina, but you probably do want to burn
00:07:16.900 like the terrorist handbook in pornography. And why is that? Because art is very, very powerful.
00:07:22.680 And so the reason that people don't want to go see the AI slop is we have no idea who's making this.
00:07:29.280 If you're just using AI to punch up a script, but the project is still being led by human beings,
00:07:34.920 that's one thing. But if I'm just going and waiting to see what the robot wants to feed
00:07:40.080 into my head, that's kind of scary. Best case, I'm worshiping a dumb idol, and I will become 0.99
00:07:46.440 like that dumb idol. Worst case, it's demons. So anyway, this is great news. I really like it. 1.00
00:07:50.820 Plus, there's a great movie made by human beings that's coming out very soon, November 11th,
00:07:55.000 and that is Ben Shapiro's movie, Confession. It's so cool, man. This movie is next level.
00:08:02.300 It's got a star-studded cast. It's a great story. It's a great subject. So anyway, get ready for
00:08:07.320 that. It's going to be in theaters one night only, November 11th. Make sure you get your tickets,
00:08:12.800 set the date, get a babysitter. It's going to be a great time. Now, one thing that you should not
00:08:17.220 get when you go to the movie theater is the Dune 3 Sandworm Popcorn Bucket. You may have seen this
00:08:22.740 going around social media. You're probably sorry that you saw this going around social media.
00:08:26.300 in preparation for the release of Dune 3. I didn't even see Dune 2. They've got this new
00:08:33.480 merchandise at the movie theaters. You can buy the special popcorn bucket, and the popcorn bucket
00:08:39.300 has one or two sandworms coming out of it. And I actually didn't see even the first Dune movie.
00:08:48.020 I didn't read the Dune books. I was not familiar with what the sandworm looked like. And if I just
00:08:53.860 looked at this popcorn bucket and I had no other context, I would not think that it was a sandworm
00:08:59.080 because it looks like, this is a family show. We don't want to get too weird on here. We don't
00:09:03.720 want to go blue. It looks like an anatomical feature that does not increase your appetite.
00:09:12.040 It does not, it's not, I don't, I don't want to be reaching through whatever this
00:09:16.360 kind of perforated hole is to get the popcorn. I think the Dune 3 popcorn bucket might very
00:09:24.740 possibly permanently destroy the popcorn industry. Having looked at it even one time on the internet,
00:09:30.000 I never want to eat popcorn again. And people are laughing at it because it's just kind of
00:09:36.100 gross and ridiculous. But the point, the political import that comes out of something gross and 0.97
00:09:42.520 weird like this, is put aside AI for a second. How many human beings had to look at the pitch,
00:09:50.920 at the design for the Dune 3 popcorn bucket and approve it? Say, yeah, that looks good.
00:09:55.420 Come on, this is a big movie, big studios. How many people? I have to believe that the people
00:10:02.240 who approved this knew how gross it was and were just kind of playing a big trick on everybody. 0.83
00:10:07.820 In any case, though, we don't want to make the error of worshipping the dumb idol of AI and pretending that AI is some kind of omnipotent, omniscient god.
00:10:19.560 We don't want to make the opposite error, though, of thinking that human beings are really smart at all.
00:10:23.940 If you thought that we were, if you thought human beings had a big stock of reason, if you thought human beings were really strategic and disciplined and intelligent, the sandworm popcorn bucket should cure you of that misconception.
00:10:41.060 And it should cure you, therefore, of a modern political ideology, all of which are grounded upon the idea that human beings have limitless potential.
00:10:50.180 this idea, you know, we only use 10% of our brains. That was very popular among leftists
00:10:54.440 in the 1960s. Totally false, by the way, based on absolutely nothing. Human beings use 100%
00:10:58.580 of our brains basically all of the time. But these ideologies that say that if we just
00:11:02.800 fix a few structural things, we can cure all the problems in the world, end all disease,
00:11:08.200 end poverty, live forever, have paradise on earth. Not going to happen. Not going to happen.
00:11:15.040 If there's any good to come out of that very disgusting, scatological popcorn bucket, 0.88
00:11:20.020 It should be to make you a conservative. 0.91
00:11:21.840 Okay, now let's get to some of the darker news.
00:11:26.040 We have, on the topic of leftist ideology, a young woman going viral at one of the TPSA
00:11:32.820 pick-up-the-mic events for celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:11:37.540 We've seen a lot of that over the last year.
00:11:40.040 And threatening one of the many speakers who have picked up the mic to carry on Charlie's
00:11:45.260 legacy, threatening him with murder to his face.
00:11:49.400 First, though, I want to tell you about Ave Maria Mutual Funds.
00:11:54.180 There's a lot more to say.
00:11:55.240 First, though, go to AveMariaFunds.com slash Michael.
00:11:58.220 Election day is almost here, and Americans are spending an extraordinary amount of time
00:12:02.100 thinking about where their votes are going, which candidates represent our values,
00:12:06.420 which policies should we support, what kind of country do we want to leave for our children.
00:12:11.500 Okay, well, that's great to think about when we're heading into the ballot box,
00:12:14.560 but we vote every day.
00:12:15.860 We vote with our wallets.
00:12:17.640 We vote with our investments.
00:12:18.620 And that's that last one that we don't think about all that much.
00:12:21.720 So you should not have to put your values aside when you show up to start investing your money
00:12:27.780 and growing your money responsible.

00:13:13.680 see. Folks, in the latest episode of Mike Land, I sit down with exorcist Father Carlos Martins and
00:13:20.100 Ryan Bethea, who are hosts of the hit podcast, The Exorcist Files. From furniture flying across
00:13:25.500 the room to what Hollywood gets completely wrong about exorcisms, we discuss it all. We also discuss
00:13:30.720 the very popular increasing interest among the public with the occult, with the demonic,
00:13:38.060 with exorcism here's a short clip we'll have exorcism cases where all of a sudden in the
00:13:46.280 midst of the praying there's some heaving going on even and people will vomit the strangest things
00:13:53.900 pins nails screws bricks like a whole brick appears to emerge out of somebody's mouth
00:14:01.360 which it couldn't even possibly fit down their mouth it's a real brick it's a real brick did
00:14:06.300 this happen to an exorcist you know or is this to me there's a some breakthrough in the prayer
00:14:11.340 all of a sudden there's just a worm writhing underneath there's no way there was a worm there
00:14:15.800 before how do you make sense of this then i think most people's conception of exorcism is wrong
00:14:22.340 and and if we correct it then a lot of other questions are answered as well
00:14:27.300 that episode is coming out tonight just in time for halloween watch a full episode on the michael
00:14:33.360 YouTube channel. For the uncensored ad-free version, you need to subscribe to The Daily Wire.
00:14:40.720 Really, really dark stuff. Definitely bumping up on or firmly within the realm of the demonic.
00:14:47.760 Young Woman Goes Viral at a TPUSA Pick Up the Mic event for celebrating Charlie's murder and
00:14:52.560 threatening more speakers. If you could announce your name and speak loudly, thank you so much.
00:14:57.800 I go by Pamper Baby.
00:15:00.300 Yeah, okay, so I took a plan B, and I'm an immigrant this morning,
00:15:04.140 feeling kind of guilty, so I wanted to read a poem that I actually wrote.
00:15:08.220 It was like, I don't know, felt a little...
00:15:10.180 Do you have a question, though?
00:15:11.580 No, I just wanted to share.
00:15:12.680 I felt like, you know, freedom of speech.
00:15:15.120 I wanted to share a poem I wrote for everybody.
00:15:17.560 It was the night before the Kirkiversary, and all through the house.
00:15:21.200 Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
00:15:24.180 The flags were hung proudly, the memes all on deck.
00:15:27.800 as we solemnly remembered a shot to the neck the podcast fell silent the hot takes grew wary
00:15:34.940 for tomorrow dear friends is the great Kirkiversary so I'll see everyone at the
00:15:40.420 squirt for Kirk we're hosting that also on October 10th I'll see y'all there to BYOE
00:15:45.820 you know vaccines included free see y'all there that's all are you are you happy with yourself
00:15:53.580 now? I mean, I think that was just... Baby, I'm thrilled. Yeah, well, I mean... You're brave for
00:15:59.280 being out here, you know, no protection, no nothing, no, like, neck brace, or... I'll pray for you.
00:16:07.040 You're brave for being out here. Isn't that crazy? Some leftist might shoot you in the neck.
00:16:13.540 Yeah, isn't that crazy? And wouldn't that be a great thing? That's what she's saying. So she 1.00
00:16:17.640 opens up, she says, hey, she might be joking, kind of a macabre joke, maybe she really means it,
00:16:22.360 But she comes up, the very first thing she says is, hey, I murdered my child this morning. 0.90
00:16:26.500 I murdered my child. I'm an immigrant. 0.85
00:16:28.560 I'm glad that my fellow travelers murdered your friend, and I want to murder you. 1.00
00:16:34.100 Freedom of speech. 1.00
00:16:36.420 So just at a practical level, if this young woman is an immigrant, she should be deported, 1.00
00:16:43.220 especially if she hasn't received citizenship yet. 1.00
00:16:45.760 If she has, hopefully she could be denaturalized in some way. 0.99
00:16:48.920 But she should be deported. 0.96
00:16:51.600 She should be prosecuted if it's possible to prosecute her.
00:16:54.380 I don't know that that really rises to the level of a criminal threat, but it would be good.
00:16:58.360 It would be a positive outcome if we could prosecute her and throw her in prison for the things she said.
00:17:03.880 Which brings me to my broader point, and it's where a lot of conservatives and I parted ways, not on the team, not in terms of what we're trying to achieve, not in terms of working together for a good political change, but this is where we parted ways ideologically after Charlie was murdered.
00:17:19.940 is everyone said, double down on the free marketplace of ideas.
00:17:23.820 We need to engage these people.
00:17:25.180 We need to just keep talking.
00:17:26.480 And I said, I don't think that's going to work.
00:17:28.480 I think that's a bad idea.
00:17:29.980 We should engage with the people who are persuadable.
00:17:33.700 We should engage with the people who are confused.
00:17:35.320 We should try to rectify the bad ideas of leftists on campus.
00:17:39.500 But for some people, a growing number,
00:17:42.000 a substantial number of people on the left,
00:17:44.220 there ain't no talking.
00:17:45.740 Talking's not going to help anything.
00:17:48.160 We need to punish them. 0.80
00:17:50.540 We need to silence them. 0.97
00:17:51.780 We need to censor them.
00:17:52.600 We need to exclude them.
00:17:53.460 We need to arrest them if we can.
00:17:54.520 We need to deport them if possible.
00:17:56.140 We need to bring to bear the brute force of the state to punish them, body and soul.
00:18:03.080 And the reason for that is, as Chesterton observes, there's a thought that stops thought,
00:18:08.960 and that's the thought that ought to be stopped.
00:18:10.960 But if the political debate between the left and the right has now degraded from,
00:18:18.140 I think we should raise taxes.
00:18:19.540 I think we should lower taxes.
00:18:21.160 I think that abortion is morally permissible because I don't believe that life really begins at conception.
00:18:27.420 I think life does begin at conception.
00:18:29.640 Even now to a serious moral debate where the left is totally wrong and the conservatives are totally right,
00:18:34.140 at the very least you can engage in that kind of a debate in a constructive way where you both have goodwill,
00:18:39.340 you are both aiming toward a good goal for the country, you can do that. If it's degraded from
00:18:44.860 that point to, I want to murder you. I don't think you should murder me. Well, I want to 0.99
00:18:52.020 murder you and all of your friends. But murdering me would be bad. Well, I disagree that it would 1.00
00:18:57.840 be bad. I think it would be good. Look out, I'm going to murder you. If that's now the political
00:19:03.260 debate, there is no purpose to debate and there is no debate to be had at all.
00:19:09.340 That, the free marketplace of ideas does not function when that is the commodity that is
00:19:16.800 being bought and sold, when that is the means of exchange. In that point, you just need to
00:19:21.420 kick people out of the marketplace. And some conservatives get that, I think. A lot of
00:19:25.300 conservatives do not. Because we've taken a good thing, which is speech and debate. And I do this
00:19:31.240 all the time. I go to college campuses all the time. And I'm constantly debating students. And
00:19:34.560 I'm debating adults at other places. I love debate. I don't have a real job. The main thing I do is
00:19:40.040 talk and write. So if debate is in itself not useful, I need to figure out another line of
00:19:47.300 work. I've got to figure something out. I'm not saying that debate is not useful and helpful.
00:19:52.020 But what we've done is take a good thing and blow it out way beyond its reasonable limits. We've
00:19:58.320 made an idol out of it. We've taken it out of its proper context. And now that can be quite negative.
00:20:02.940 There is nothing to be gained from debating a person like this.
00:20:06.900 The only thing that we can gain is publicly punishing a person like this
00:20:11.920 to scare all the people who would agree with her
00:20:15.860 and who would try to follow through on the left's threats
00:20:18.920 and, in fact, the left's actions where they kill us.
00:20:22.080 That's it. That's the takeaway.
00:20:23.960 If you are watching that clip and your conclusion is, I can fix her.
00:20:29.180 There are going to be people out there. 0.63
00:20:30.600 She's not a bad-looking young woman.
00:20:31.860 there are going to be people who are going to, they're not going to see the glowing red demonic
00:20:36.460 eyes right behind the retina. And they're going to say, oh, you know, I can fix her.
00:20:41.220 I can, no, I can, I just need to talk to her. I just need to give her a few more facts and logic.
00:20:44.620 And then I think I can, if that's your takeaway, you're not going to make it. You got to, you got
00:20:49.200 to punish these people. And the federal government is doing that. This is one of the best stories I've
00:20:54.320 seen in a year. Coming out of the federal government, coming out of the Trump administration,
00:21:00.440 ICE is apparently bringing a brutal crackdown to left-wing violence.
00:21:06.400 We'll get to that in a second.
00:21:07.260 First, I want to tell you about Catholic Match.
00:21:08.900 There's a lot more to say.

00:22:50.500 I have been taking fiber and spice for over three years. When I first started taking it,
00:22:56.120 I could smell the cumin and the turmeric and the different spices.
00:23:00.260 I tell all my friends about balance of nature.

00:23:16.140 Headline out of WIRED.
00:23:18.240 ICE is running one of the largest anti-left surveillance operations in U.S. history.
00:23:23.080 ICE's Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying
00:23:27.060 against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the civil rights
00:23:32.620 and anti-war movements. Love that. A lot of people, including conservatives, have been taught a bunch 1.00
00:23:38.120 of nonsense about the FBI and the CIA from the middle of the 20th century. They hear that the
00:23:43.240 FBI cracked down on the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement had some good
00:23:48.560 inclinations, some decent ideas, some fine people who were involved. But it was also like a communist
00:23:54.440 front. And that's just a fact of history. Just because you call something the candy and puppies
00:24:00.200 movement doesn't mean that it's all fun and games. There's a lot of bad stuff there. The Soviet Union
00:24:06.820 was funding a lot of the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement was in many ways a front
00:24:11.740 for radical politics, violent leftism, and it was very good that the FBI kept a tab on what was
00:24:21.160 going on and in some cases sought to undermine it. Same thing here. You remember when the Antifa
00:24:25.680 violence really started kicking up about 10 years ago, you had major news figures. I think Jake
00:24:30.600 Tapper was one of them. You had major people on the mainstream left who were saying, well, Antifa's
00:24:35.520 great. Either there is no such thing as Antifa or Antifa's great or, you know, the original Antifa
00:24:41.720 was the greatest generation that went out and beat the Nazis or whatever. You know, they're
00:24:45.680 anti-fascist too. And that's not. Antifa is a left-wing terror organization that seems to be
00:24:52.400 the paramilitary arm, increasingly the mainstream Democrat Party. And you cannot have a civil
00:24:58.800 society with these people. So this is really great stuff. Just a little bit from the top of the
00:25:03.220 from the top of the report. Attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy
00:25:09.120 charges have obtained evidence of a sweeping, possibly unconstitutional spying operation
00:25:13.260 carried out by ICE against left-wing social movements in Minnesota and beyond. Love this.
00:25:18.300 And the Trump administration deserves a lot of props for this. I've pointed out with four days
00:25:22.380 before the midterm elections that I understand some of the reasons people aren't feeling
00:25:27.160 motivated this year. Gas prices are high. Things are expensive. Not all of that is Trump's fault.
00:25:32.040 Not all of that is due to the Iran war. Reasonable minds can disagree on the Iran war. Yada, yada, yada.
00:25:37.760 But I said, people's memory, it's very slim. We don't have that great limitless store of reason.
00:25:44.160 And so we forget all of the good stuff that has happened. Fully closing the southern border,
00:25:49.100 which Joe Biden and Kamala Harris told us could not be done. Trump did it in about 30 seconds.
00:25:53.060 Deporting millions of illegal aliens and other foreigners, actually, who just chose to leave
00:25:58.040 over the last year and a half. Very, very good stuff. Stopping the political persecution of 1.00
00:26:04.340 Christians and conservatives, letting the pro-life grannies out of prison, really good. Ending DEI, 0.99
00:26:09.040 ending a lot of the wokeness, really, really good. Those are just the things we know about. 0.93
00:26:14.240 There are some actions of the federal government that they actually can't publicize that much.
00:26:18.140 And in fact, you only read about it from the enemies of this administration and the allies
00:26:22.020 of the left-wing terrorists like this. Some things need to be conducted in secrecy. Another
00:26:27.580 they're one of the reasons I am not in favor of a fully transparent government. You can't have a
00:26:31.480 fully transparent government. You can't have a fully transparent business. Some things you got
00:26:34.980 to play a little close to the vest. Here, this is really, really great news. We just got to keep it
00:26:40.220 up. Keep it up. And it's going to be hard to keep it up if the Democrats win the midterm election.
00:26:45.220 So we really, really, really need to go out there, vote, get your friends to vote, vote early,
00:26:52.640 Vote often.
00:26:54.400 Keep on voting.
00:26:55.240 Okay, speaking of that election, a little bit of worrisome news.
00:27:00.640 Deep, deep red South Carolina is tied right now.
00:27:04.520 Lindsey Graham died earlier this year.
00:27:06.920 His sister was appointed to fill out the rest of his term.
00:27:09.220 Then his sister decided that she was going to run for a full Senate term.
00:27:12.960 And President Trump endorsed her.
00:27:14.360 She shot up in the polls in the primary.
00:27:15.820 She beat the other more established conservative candidate. 0.98
00:27:19.780 and now we might lose South Carolina.
00:27:23.320 Here are the latest numbers.
00:27:26.420 By the way, if you want all of the election news,
00:27:30.020 you've got to follow Daily Wire's election hub.
00:27:31.860 Go there right now.
00:27:32.880 Check it every 15 minutes.
00:27:34.340 Get your blood pressure up.
00:27:36.260 It'll work better than any of those nicotine pouches
00:27:38.500 because this is going to be a nail-biter coming down to Tuesday.
00:27:41.320 Right now, the polls coming out of South Carolina,
00:27:44.020 the average of five polls,
00:27:45.100 has Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene, up by a little under two and a half points in South 0.76
00:27:52.500 Carolina. Lindsey Graham won his last election by 10 points or more, 12 points, something like that.
00:27:59.000 Two and a half points here, not good news. The latest poll that we have, East Carolina
00:28:03.760 University poll from October 29th, has Graham up by four points. That's good. A Siena College
00:28:10.440 poll from the day before has the race literally tied, 48 to 48. Other polls also about four points
00:28:19.860 splitting the candidates, but the margin of error is four points too. So statistically speaking,
00:28:25.540 the race is totally tied. Now, there is a little bit of good news here, and it's being reported 0.99
00:28:31.080 as bad news, but it's being reported as bad news for the right by the left. So you have to know
00:28:35.700 how to interpret not just the polls, but how to interpret the news reports here. One, polls
00:28:41.500 generally disfavor the Republicans. So you can usually add two to four points for the Republicans
00:28:48.700 in these polls. So again, I think we're going to win South Carolina. I think we're going to win
00:28:52.920 Michigan. I hope. I think. I think we will. I still, in my deep gut, think we're going to win
00:29:00.880 Texas based on how polling works, based on the fact that conservatives don't respond to polls,
00:29:07.640 based on all this stuff. But there's another tangible good sign here, which is President
00:29:11.580 Trump just canceled his rallies over the weekend. So the left is reporting this. Oh, Trump, he's
00:29:16.100 giving up. He's too depressed. He's not, he can't get attendance at his rallies. There is no
00:29:21.160 enthusiasm for the Republicans in this election cycle. So he canceled his rallies. That's totally
00:29:26.060 the opposite of what's going on here. Trump's been hosting these rallies non-stop for four
00:29:30.720 weeks now. The guy has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. It's just unreal. And the guy's
00:29:36.020 80 years old. And he is just going out every single day, flying to some new part of the country,
00:29:40.080 going off the cuff for like three hours, making jokes, capturing people's attention. No one can
00:29:46.140 stop talking about his comments on the male physical form. And then flying back, doing his
00:29:51.400 president business, you know, his day job. Then he flies back out every day for four weeks.
00:29:56.060 He's canceling right before the midterms, right before Election Day, these rallies.
00:30:00.400 Why?
00:30:01.320 Trump told reporters, he does not, quote, feel like I have to go to Kansas.
00:30:05.960 I don't think I have to go to Kansas here.
00:30:08.300 Senator Roger Marshall is in, according to the polls, a fairly competitive race with the Democrat Adam Hamilton.
00:30:14.860 But what this tells me is the internal polls, the tracking polls that the campaigns are getting every single day at this point,
00:30:23.440 are breaking in favor of the Republicans.
00:30:25.980 So Trump says, you know what, I don't need to go to Kansas.
00:30:28.020 Kansas is safe.
00:30:30.100 There are some other races, too.
00:30:31.560 In Iowa, it was looking like Iowa was a little bit dicey for a while,
00:30:34.280 the fact that Trump's canceling the rally in Iowa.
00:30:36.520 It's not like he's having trouble attracting crowds.
00:30:38.520 The rallies are all packed.
00:30:40.640 And Trump likes doing them, and he's very good at them.
00:30:42.380 The fact that he's canceling the rally says, okay, Kansas, we're good.
00:30:44.580 Iowa, we're good.
00:30:45.840 Obviously, it's Michigan, it's Texas, it's Maine that we have to look at.
00:30:50.520 Now, apparently, South Carolina.
00:30:53.100 I think, I'll break with basically all of the conservative pundits on this.
00:30:57.680 I think the data we're getting from the polls and the behavior of the politicians is that
00:31:01.300 in the final days of the campaign, the numbers are breaking at least slightly for the Republicans.
00:31:05.880 The Democrats do seem to be getting a little bit more desperate.
00:31:09.140 All of these races, though, are razor thin.
00:31:11.320 Here's one of those desperate candidates.
00:31:12.440 That would be Abdul El-Sayed, who, again, should be doing better in this race, actually, than he is.
00:31:19.280 This is a Democrat seat.
00:31:20.620 you have a Democrat leaving the Senate, so you're replacing a Democrat. This is Michigan,
00:31:25.720 which is purple, but kind of breaks Democrat. It's purple-leaning Democrat. So Abdul El-Sayed
00:31:32.280 should be up a fair bit in this race. He's not. It's dead even. So Abdul El-Sayed is pulling out
00:31:38.400 these last-minute gasps to pander to whoever he can. He's not doing nearly well enough with black 1.00
00:31:42.840 voters. Democrats need to have a lock on the black vote or their entire campaign strategy falls apart.
00:31:48.120 So here's the best that Abdul can muster to win over the African-Americans.
00:31:54.480 Because for too many black Detroiters in particular, their experience with somebody who looks like me is not a good one.
00:32:03.520 You go into a gas station, you go to a party store, you're being talked at from behind bullpen glass.
00:32:10.380 If you're a woman, you're being catcalled.
00:32:12.200 If you're a kid, you're being sold to Lucy at the back, being denied a bathroom.
00:32:15.860 I've always tried to be on the right side of that.
00:32:18.120 But I also understand that, like, if that's your experience with somebody whose name is like mine, that leaves a terrible taste. 0.69
00:32:26.060 So his pitch to black voters is, hey, blacks, I know that you spend all your time in the liquor stores and the gas stations selling loosies behind the gas station, you know, behind that bulletproof glass. 0.65
00:32:38.080 And look, I know that guys who look like me, I know the Abdul's of the world. 1.00
00:32:42.940 I know that we're deeply racist sex pests, but I'm different. 0.99
00:32:48.120 No, don't worry. I see you differently. I know. Listen, I know you go into that gas station, 0.99
00:32:52.720 you black voters, you're buying your Colt 45. I know you're buying that old English malt liquor. 1.00
00:32:57.640 You're coming up there. And I know the gas station attendant, he thinks you're going to
00:33:01.560 steal it or shoot him. So he has the bulletproof glass. But just trust me, black voters. I would
00:33:06.920 never stereotype like that. No, you can trust me. I know women. I know you're afraid of the
00:33:14.320 the roving gangs of Muslim rapists in this country and in Europe. But don't worry. I would 1.00
00:33:22.040 never do that. In Abdul's case, I think he's probably right. I have a feeling women are not
00:33:26.180 exactly Abdul's type. So in that part, I actually believe him. But this is not strong communication. 1.00
00:33:32.180 If the best argument you can make to try to raise your standing with a crucial demographic,
00:33:37.680 which is black voters for the Democrat Party, if the best argument is, hey, I'm not as racist as
00:33:43.280 all the other people that look like me. I don't think that's going to be really persuasive.
00:33:48.000 So speaking of the future of America, really great vision of the future, very forward-looking and
00:33:54.460 backward-looking vision coming from the State Department, thanks to Marco Rubio, who has
00:33:59.460 articulated what America is about in a way that is driving our opponents nuts. First, though,
00:34:04.380 I want to tell you about GOP votes. There's a lot more to say. First, though, the Democratic
00:34:09.320 Socialists of America won primaries across the country. Next, they're coming for Congress and
00:34:13.900 they're coming for you. If they win the midterms, they will defund the police, reopen the border,
00:34:17.700 and force men into women's sports. You are the last line of defense and gopvotes.org is your
00:34:22.340 partner in the fight. Go to gopvotes.org right now. Make a plan to vote early. If you live in
00:34:26.880 the critical Senate battleground states of Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, or Texas,
00:34:30.840 early voting is already underway this week. Democrats are energized. The stakes have never
00:34:34.500 been higher. We cannot afford to have people like AOC and her communist cronies running the show.
00:34:39.320 That is why I need you to make a plan to vote early right now.
00:34:42.260 Go to gopvotes.org to find your polling location.
00:34:44.940 Vote early.
00:34:45.380 Stop the socialist takeover of America.
00:34:47.200 Paid for by SLF PAC.
00:34:49.220 Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

00:35:52.460 My favorite comment yesterday is from Hard Boiled Entertainment.
00:35:55.500 says, what's very telling, Michael, is that nobody seemed to consider that the kid in the
00:36:00.700 morgue being alive was a miracle. It's a great point. Because we don't really believe in miracles
00:36:06.660 these days. I was talking to Thomas Madden, probably the preeminent, the leading historian
00:36:11.220 of the Crusades in America. I was talking to Thomas Madden just yesterday. And Madden,
00:36:16.900 we were talking about relics, you know, bones of the saints and things. And I said, hey,
00:36:22.600 how should we think about relics? If there really are, is the bone of St. Peter? How do we know
00:36:27.760 that? What's the evidence? How did the medievals think about that? He said it's funny because in
00:36:31.600 the modern era, we just think we need carbon dating and DNA analysis and documented provenance
00:36:38.780 going back to the first century. And that's how we prove that a relic is real. But in the Middle
00:36:44.700 Ages, they didn't think like that. The way they would prove a relic is real is if it led to
00:36:49.720 miracles. And I thought, what a beautiful way to think about the distinction between the Middle 0.93
00:36:58.200 Ages and the modern era. And the funny thing is, the miracle test for relics is actually probably
00:37:04.520 much more reliable than modern carbon dating, which is rife with error. Anyway, just a way
00:37:10.600 to think about it as we try to return to a more sensible conception of the world. As I point out
00:37:17.940 on the show, I made the point yesterday. We know much less about the world. We have a much more
00:37:24.400 tenuous grasp on reality than the average medieval peasant did. So before we get to the mailbag, 0.98
00:37:29.420 I'm excited to get the mailbag. But apropos of this point, I have to get to this beautiful video
00:37:34.300 that came out of the State Department for a day celebrating religious liberty.
00:37:40.980 Our faith calls us outwards into the limitless darkness of the unknown.
00:37:47.520 it tells us to go forth and preach the gospel to the world as a witness unto all nations
00:37:52.560 unto the ends of the earth from that command came america our nation more than any other
00:38:00.640 in history was shaped by this christian idea this is who we are and from the beginning
00:38:08.320 we have carried the belief that our country represents something new in the world
00:38:11.840 But the soul of our nation has always been rooted in an ancient faith.
00:38:41.840 have the same rights. That's contrary to the Christian idea. The Christian idea traditionally 0.99
00:38:45.600 is that error has no rights. Error non abetius. But we have this idea of religious freedom as
00:38:52.940 just neutrality. All religions are basically the same, and it's all kind of a bunch of bunk anyway, 1.00
00:38:57.080 and we can't really scrutinize any of them according to reason, so it's all the same. 1.00
00:39:00.900 Rubio comes out, he says, hey, for Religious Freedom Day, I just want to remind you,
00:39:03.920 America is a Christian country. We are intrinsically Christian. And it is only because
00:39:10.060 of our Christianity that we are tolerant of other religions. But of course, this has to be done in 0.99
00:39:16.780 accordance with the tradition and within limits and within reason because Aristotle's third law
00:39:22.340 remains undefeated. You can't have two contradictory things be simultaneously true.
00:39:28.280 So he says, we're a Christian country. This country was discovered and founded
00:39:33.860 because of Christianity. And this is a crucial part of the history. Christopher Columbus
00:39:41.680 discovered the New World in order to fund another crusade. That's what he was doing.
00:39:48.320 Christopher Columbus was praying the divine office on the ships. Christopher Columbus
00:39:55.280 named the first place that he landed in the Western Hemisphere, San Salvador, the holy
00:40:00.520 Savior. Christopher Columbus was really, really, really Christian. The way Christopher Columbus
00:40:07.240 got out of a tight little skirmish one time, he was dealing with the Taino Indians, and they
00:40:10.580 stopped bringing him food, even after they had been trading some of their goods. Christopher
00:40:14.700 Columbus, he could have just died at this point. His whole crew could have starved. And he was
00:40:20.820 able to get the Tainos back in line because he predicted a lunar eclipse, and he told them that 0.56
00:40:26.780 the Christian God was very angry with them. And he really kind of meant it. He said, like, God is 1.00
00:40:30.420 really faithful to those who believe in him, who are devoted to him. In any case, that's Columbus.
00:40:36.360 Then you have the Mayflower. The Mayflower also is this mission to found a new kind of Jerusalem, 0.66
00:40:42.660 you know. And then the later Puritans who came wanted a shining city on a hill. And it just,
00:40:47.000 that's just what America is. And Rubio has no problem saying this full-throatedly. The whole
00:40:55.060 Trump administration, same thing. Vice President, J.D. Vance, same thing. It's just beautiful stuff.
00:41:00.000 It's beautiful because it's traditional. It's beautiful because it's true. Okay, so much more
00:41:05.500 I want to get to, but now it's time for my favorite time of the week, the mailbag. Our
00:41:09.060 mailbag is sponsored by Pure Talk at puretalk.com slash Knowles. Take it away.
00:41:13.620 Hi, Michael. It seems to me that one problem we have on the right is that we're too arrogant with
00:41:17.760 our views, too often more interested in knocking down the left and calling them ignorant and trying
00:41:21.620 to understand their perspectives and meet them where they are.
00:41:24.220 Many on the left have legitimate reasons
00:41:25.740 for holding the positions they do, even if we disagree.
00:41:27.960 I can't hear. Can the producers
00:41:29.540 please increase the volume in my ear?
00:41:31.580 I actually can't hear this great question, but I
00:41:33.680 know it's beautiful. I know it's a beautiful question.
00:41:35.520 I don't think you'll ultimately get anywhere with that approach. Curious about
00:41:37.640 your thoughts on this. Love your show and all that you do.
00:41:42.340 Okay, okay, so this is
00:41:43.700 about how to
00:41:45.620 engage with the left. Well, deporting some
00:41:47.660 of them is a good idea, if I heard that question
00:41:49.800 correctly.
00:41:51.620 There's a time to every purpose under heaven, is really my answer.
00:41:56.300 So sometimes you've got to own the libs with facts and logic.
00:42:00.780 Sometimes you need to find common ground with them.
00:42:05.360 And this is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
00:42:09.360 Like when you're debating a lib on TV or on a stream or something,
00:42:14.780 most of the time you just have to pummel the leftist with his ideas into the ground
00:42:19.700 for the edification of the audience.
00:42:21.620 some of the time it can be helpful to you know find common ground i do that a lot actually in
00:42:27.040 my approach but uh sometimes you just gotta just gotta beat the guy into the ground when you're
00:42:32.100 talking to your cousin across the thanksgiving table you don't want to beat your cousin into
00:42:35.400 the ground you want to you want to find commonality because so much so much of leftism
00:42:39.360 really is just a perversion of the right idea because liberalism itself is a perversion of
00:42:44.360 christianity it emerges out of christianity and it seeks to displace christianity so there are
00:42:49.100 concepts within it that we all share. You know, freedom. They just, liberalism has the wrong
00:42:53.520 understanding of freedom. The common good. Liberalism just has the wrong understanding
00:42:58.840 of what the common good is. Equality and care and charity. Liberalism just has the wrong idea
00:43:06.840 of all of those things. So yeah, it's great. You need all of them. You need all of it. But don't,
00:43:11.980 sometimes you also need a little bit of arrogance, you know, because that persuades people. Confidence
00:43:17.160 is very attractive. Okay. Next question. Hi, Michael. This is Jordan from the Republic of
00:43:22.440 Texas. I was recently watching your interview with Chris Hansen. And one thing I noticed is
00:43:27.160 that when you were talking about child porn, you use the term, or both of y'all use the term
00:43:33.400 CSAM or child sexual abuse material. And I was wondering if this was a case of the euphemism
00:43:39.080 treadmill in which we used to see porn as something disgraceful and something to be ashamed
00:43:45.500 about but as it's become normalized people want to separate off child porn as something that is
00:43:52.540 uniquely evil and to normalize adults engaging in this activity and as a way to make themselves
00:44:02.960 not feel quite as guilty about engaging with one form of shameful act and to not and to
00:44:10.620 in recognizing the other as a unique shameful act that is only because children can't give consent?
00:44:19.860 Good question. I've gone back and forth on the use of this term. This is the new euphemism for
00:44:24.880 this material, whatever we're going to call it, is CSAM, child sexual abuse material, 0.91
00:44:30.080 which we used to call child porn or kiddie porn or whatever. So I initially resisted the new
00:44:35.740 euphemism, in part for the reasons that you're describing. However, I think it's more complicated
00:44:41.760 than that. So initially, you have pornography, all of which is gross and bad and banned in most
00:44:48.440 cases, and society looks down on it. Pornography. And then there's this particularly heinous subset
00:44:53.540 of pornography, child pornography. So that's how we referred to it. As pornography has been
00:44:59.580 normalized, especially after the 90s and the year 2000, there were attempts, bipartisan attempts,
00:45:04.220 under Bill Clinton to try to reduce pornography on the internet.
00:45:09.180 Republicans and Democrats came together.
00:45:10.740 Society still agreed porn was bad, but the judges overthrew it.
00:45:14.460 So now we've had 25 years of the internet.
00:45:16.180 Most people don't think that porn is that bad.
00:45:18.980 Now, in this case, it probably does make sense to have a new euphemism for child pornography
00:45:24.160 because if the old view was pornography is really bad,
00:45:27.840 and so child pornography is a particularly heinous subset of that,
00:45:30.240 If everyone thinks that pornography is fine, then child pornography seems less heinous.
00:45:37.420 You understand?
00:45:38.140 Maybe people would still say, well, it's still much worse than regular pornography.
00:45:41.380 But if the main thing that we call it, the category in which we lump it, if that category is now seen to be neutral or even positive in some cases,
00:45:51.680 you have like health agencies promoting pornography and all sorts of grave sinful behaviors as somehow healthy.
00:45:58.800 Sex positive.
00:45:59.460 Well, if that's the case, then you do need to drive home the point that this kind of material is abusive in itself.
00:46:07.020 Because there have been attempts in the last five or six years to normalize pedophilia.
00:46:10.660 There have been lots of attempts to do that by the left.
00:46:13.540 Academic attempts, popular attempts.
00:46:15.960 So I'm not opposed to it.
00:46:17.660 But yeah, this is an example of language evolving and this is an example of euphemisms developing.
00:46:23.620 But it's a little different than the kind of politically corrupt euphemism treadmill.
00:46:27.560 Next question.
00:46:29.460 Hey, Michael, I keep hearing Republicans celebrating the decline of LGBTQ issues as a cultural victory, and I'd love to agree and take the win, but I'm concerned we're seeing something potentially worse with young people today. 0.96
00:46:41.480 In the past, it was they have ADD. Now we're hearing more about ADHD, ODT. 0.83
00:46:46.420 Unfortunately, I'm sure this is a great question. I'm sure this is a beautiful question, but unfortunately, I'm going to blame Professor Jacob.
00:46:53.840 My ears are failing me.
00:46:55.680 The audio is not coming through.
00:46:57.020 We will have to do a particularly strong mailbag next Friday
00:47:02.100 because of the ways in which I'm not casting blame.
00:47:06.420 I'm not pointing fingers, but it's Jacob's fault.
00:47:09.200 It's Fake Headline Friday.
