The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 234 - Pocahontas Admits She’s 99.9% White

00:00:00.260 Liawatha Elizabeth Warren has finally released a DNA test proving that she's super duper white. 1.00

00:00:06.800 We will analyze Focahontas' new presidential campaign slogan,

00:00:10.420 Elizabeth Warren, vote for one 2020th in 2020. 1.00

00:00:14.660 Then, fake news does another fake news,

00:00:17.080 President Trump dunks on Leslie Stahl,

00:00:19.220 and how transgenderism broke political correctness. 0.94

00:00:22.560 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 I woke up today, I didn't, you know, this news about Liz Warren's DNA test,

00:00:36.240 about her Indian ancestry, this just broke this morning.

00:00:39.340 I didn't know.

00:00:39.900 Last night when I put my head on my little purple mattress, you know,

00:00:42.260 I didn't know.

00:00:42.900 I thought, what are we going to talk about tomorrow?

00:00:44.260 I wake up today, sweet little Elisa nudges me.

00:00:46.580 She goes, Mac, Mac, Elizabeth Warren wrote your show today, Mac.

00:00:50.320 I thought, oh, that's so nice.

00:00:51.260 Thank you, Liawatha.

00:00:52.480 We, this is, this is truly illustrative of how deluded the left is right now,

00:00:59.380 how deluded Democrats are right now,

00:01:01.940 that they are celebrating Liz Warren's test as a victory.

00:01:06.540 Liz Warren's test proving that she is nearly 100% white as a victory. 1.00

00:01:10.480 We'll get to that in a second.

00:01:11.280 First, got to make a little money, honey.

00:01:12.980 Let's thank Bamboo HR.

00:01:14.560 You know Bamboo HR.

00:01:16.360 If you have your own small or medium-sized business,

00:01:18.800 or if you work in HR, you know how crazy it can be.

00:01:22.540 When I was hired at the Daily Wire,

00:01:24.160 they had to hire an entire army of HR specialists, obviously.

00:01:27.200 You have miles of spreadsheets, time off to manage,

00:01:30.620 never-ending paperwork, countless random employee issues.

00:01:33.460 The stress is huge, and it leaves no time to do what you love,

00:01:48.460 I've worked in small businesses.

00:01:49.760 I've worked here when this was a small business.

00:01:51.480 Because that kind of paperwork,

00:01:53.740 those kind of compliance tasks and HR tasks

00:01:56.020 can really derail people from doing what they want to do,

00:01:58.460 what they need to do to make their company grow.

00:02:01.240 Let Bamboo HR figure this out for you.

00:02:05.180 It's really good.

00:02:16.360 a special extended free trial.

00:02:18.320 That's right.

00:02:46.280 Do you know what it is?

00:02:47.080 BambooHR.com slash Covfefe.

00:02:48.960 Covfefe.

00:02:50.720 Focahontas has done it.

00:02:52.240 You know, President Trump challenged her.

00:02:53.700 He said, I'll donate a million dollars

00:02:55.000 to a charity of your choice

00:02:56.080 if you take a DNA test

00:02:57.700 that proves that you're a Native American.

00:02:59.340 So she took the DNA test

00:03:01.280 and it didn't go the way that she wanted, I think.

00:03:03.860 It proves that she's almost entirely white. 0.97

00:03:08.000 So 99.9% chance she's white. 0.57

00:03:11.600 The test did show the possibility

00:03:14.780 that she has a smidgen of Native American ancestry

00:03:17.980 at the very most 132nd Native American

00:03:23.000 and perhaps more likely closer to 1024th Native American.

00:03:29.700 She is less than one 1,000th Native American,

00:03:34.580 possibly according to this test.

00:03:36.200 And the DNC and the Liz Warren campaign 0.91

00:03:39.380 and the left is releasing this as though it is a victory.

00:03:44.100 And we actually have exclusive footage

00:03:47.640 from inside the Liz Warren campaign headquarters,

00:03:50.660 inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters

00:03:53.400 to see why they're releasing this as a victory.

00:03:55.420 I thought I was just a standard white guy,

00:03:59.260 but DNA and me showed that I'm actually 4.2% Cherokee Indian.

00:04:04.440 Turns out I'm not totally white.

00:04:06.600 I'm also part Northern Asian and even some Kurdish.

00:04:09.840 I'm a victim of oppression.

00:04:11.760 I used to get in trouble for always using the N-word,

00:04:14.700 but with DNA and me, I found out that I'm 2.1% black.

00:04:18.920 Morning, Steve.

00:04:21.380 The test is easy.

00:04:22.880 Simply swab the inside of your mouth

00:04:24.580 and send it into our labs. 0.70

00:04:26.340 People made fun of me for being French.

00:04:28.620 DNA and me showed I was 8% Navajo.

00:04:31.300 Nobody's making fun of me now or my people who are victims.

00:04:34.740 I'm 13% victim.

00:04:36.580 I'm 21% victim.

00:04:38.580 Order now and find out if your friends should be more sympathetic.

00:04:41.700 Order now.

00:04:42.340 Is that a new sponsor?

00:04:43.600 Are we going to get one of those?

00:04:45.580 Find out if you are a victim, the victim identifier.

00:04:48.980 That is what Liz Warren is so happy about.

00:04:50.860 So, you know, I thought that I was just a coddled white woman, 0.98

00:04:55.120 white as can be, Harvard employee, you know, 0.80

00:04:59.160 traded on my fake ancestry to gain a professional advantage,

00:05:02.820 you know, now a member of the United States Senate.

00:05:04.760 But really, I'm a victim.

00:05:06.780 Really, Liz Warren is a victim. 0.56

00:05:08.580 That is the, this is the Boston Globe story.

00:05:10.460 We've got to get into this because the way that the left is reacting is lunacy.

00:05:16.640 Boston Globe comes out, they say, quote,

00:05:19.040 Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a DNA test that provides strong evidence.

00:05:23.920 She had a Native American in her family tree dating back six to ten generations.

00:05:30.140 An unprecedented move by one of the top possible contenders

00:05:33.440 for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

00:05:36.500 And this is very important.

00:05:37.540 This is unprecedented because it shows how insane the left has gotten

00:05:42.620 about their racism, about their race obsession.

00:05:46.400 They are now releasing tests that show that they have one,

00:05:51.140 one thousand Native American blood.

00:05:54.140 They say, I'm, see, I'm, I'm that race.

00:05:55.540 I'm that race.

00:05:56.020 That race matters.

00:05:56.700 That's what I'm, and I'm going to win.

00:05:57.960 That is unprecedented.

00:05:59.140 That is bizarre that we're now releasing our racial pedigrees 0.79

00:06:02.320 when we're running for public office.

00:06:05.240 That, not, not in 70 years or so have, have we seen that in a developed country.

00:06:10.620 That is pretty crazy.

00:06:11.900 And it's the Democrats doing it all in the name of progressivism.

00:06:15.180 The piece goes on.

00:06:16.380 Warren, whose claims to Native American blood have been mocked by President Trump

00:06:20.380 and other Republicans, provided the test results to the globe on Sunday

00:06:24.240 in an effort to diffuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years.

00:06:29.360 She planned an elaborate rollout Monday of the results

00:06:32.440 as she aimed for widespread attention. 0.95

00:06:35.860 This is like that scene, you know, that Jim Carrey clip where,

00:06:39.160 I think it was in Dumb and Dumber, where the girl is like,

00:06:41.580 I will never date you. 0.99

00:06:42.520 You're awful. 1.00

00:06:43.060 I hate you. 1.00

00:06:43.580 No, no, no, no, no. 0.99

00:06:44.220 And he just looks at me and goes, so you're saying there's a chance.

00:06:47.260 That is Liz Warren opening these test results. 0.97

00:06:50.300 All right, give it to me straight, doctor.

00:06:52.320 Well, Liz, you're between 96.9 and 99.9% white. 0.53

00:06:58.440 So you're saying there's a chance.

00:07:00.480 You're saying there's a chance I'm Cherokee.

00:07:02.400 That is absurd.

00:07:05.620 This was done by Carlos Bustamante, Stanford University geneticist.

00:07:09.960 I'm trying to analyze, just for you, how the left possibly thinks that this is a win.

00:07:16.800 Because it's even, it's even, the news reporters got the number wrong.

00:07:22.520 They initially thought it was between 132nd and 1 500th, I think, Indian.

00:07:28.060 Now they've revised that to 132nd to 1 1,000th Indian.

00:07:33.200 Also, Native American DNA is notoriously unreliable in these tests.

00:07:37.120 The reason for that is that Native Americans don't take these tests. 1.00

00:07:40.540 One, because they don't care.

00:07:42.560 They know that they're Native American.

00:07:44.320 And two, because, you know, Native American, I'm willing to admit Native Americans have been

00:07:49.120 treated a little rough in this country from time to time.

00:07:51.980 So they don't, they don't want to give over their, their DNA to these guys.

00:07:57.360 The, the important statistic here is not 1 32nd.

00:08:01.460 It's not 1 1,024th.

00:08:03.720 It's not whatever.

00:08:04.380 The average European American is 1.8% Indian, Native American, American, indigenous, whatever

00:08:11.880 euphemism you want to use.

00:08:13.640 That's the average white American has 1.8% Indian in them.

00:08:19.100 Liz Warren has almost that exact same amount, possibly significantly less.

00:08:24.820 It would be, it would mean that virtually every white member of the United States Senate, Congress,

00:08:30.820 running for president could say, oh, I'm an Indian, I'm Cherokee, prove that I'm not. 0.98

00:08:35.980 Because don't forget, Liz Warren used this for professional benefit. 1.00

00:08:38.740 She says that she didn't.

00:08:40.020 Fact checker, left-wing commentary websites say that she didn't. 1.00

00:08:43.720 She did.

00:08:44.320 She certainly did.

00:08:45.200 We'll get into that in a second.

00:08:47.720 My first thought on this was, what was she thinking?

00:08:50.500 And I'm not the only one, and this is not just a partisan reaction.

00:08:53.200 Jim Messina, who was Barack Obama's campaign chairman, he also was furious.

00:08:58.080 He's tweeting at you saying, what are you thinking?

00:09:00.800 22 days before an important election, the midterm elections, Liz Warren is doubling down 1.00

00:09:06.240 on this absurd claim that she's an Indian, telling you not to believe your lying eyes

00:09:11.280 because she's won 1,000th Native American.

00:09:13.640 What are you thinking, Liz Warren?

00:09:15.160 After the Kavanaugh effect that's already killing Democrats and swing races, Liz Warren comes 1.00

00:09:20.200 down and says, yeah, but really, I'm Chief Liawatha.

00:09:22.580 Give me a break.

00:09:24.440 So Jim Messina and I agree on this.

00:09:27.860 We don't agree on much, but we agree on that.

00:09:30.180 Liz Warren needs less attention on her ancestry. 1.00

00:09:33.020 I know, you know what it is?

00:09:34.680 It's that President Trump gets in the heads of his opponents because he's so brash and infuriating 0.89

00:09:39.980 because he's like a little schoolyard bully who's holding Liz Warren's, like, stalks of 0.95

00:09:44.960 corn and wampum.

00:09:45.780 I don't know.

00:09:46.100 I'm trying to make an analogy here.

00:09:47.600 She's holding it, he's holding it above her head and she's saying, I am Native American.

00:09:51.760 You're not, you're Pocahontas. 1.00

00:09:52.800 I am Native American.

00:09:53.740 And he's driving them crazy.

00:09:55.300 If she were thinking clearly here, if she were thinking rationally, she would not take

00:09:59.300 a test.

00:10:00.140 She would not make a big news story about it.

00:10:02.340 She would not do any of that.

00:10:03.380 What she is thinking is that this issue has dogged her in her career.

00:10:07.300 It might prevent her from being successful in 2020. 0.90

00:10:11.220 President Trump has forever branded her Pocahontas.

00:10:14.580 So what she's thinking is right now, even before the midterms, I'm going to get this story

00:10:18.780 out there.

00:10:19.660 My personal pravda, the Boston Globe, is going to run with it and they're going to cover for

00:10:24.260 me and all of the media are going to cover for me.

00:10:26.400 And then when it comes up again, the next time President Trump calls me Pocahontas in six

00:10:30.440 months, I can say, I took a test and it proves I'm Native American.

00:10:34.840 That's not how this is going to play out.

00:10:36.280 That is not how this is going to play out.

00:10:38.380 President Trump is going to have a field day with this.

00:10:39.860 I hope he has a field day with this.

00:10:41.540 He hasn't really gotten too into it yet.

00:10:43.140 I hope he's just, he's just, you know, testing out the tweets.

00:10:46.100 He's trying, he's massaging it like a poet with, you know, with his meter and his rhyme

00:10:50.040 scheme, trying to get the tweets right.

00:10:52.440 This has no upside for Liz Warren.

00:10:56.220 How, how are you going to react to this?

00:10:57.780 So Liz Warren claims for her professional career that she's Native American, not even just like

00:11:02.360 part Native American.

00:11:03.080 And she's listed in the Harvard directories, Native American.

00:11:05.480 She, she contributes a recipe to a Native American cookbook called Pow Wow Chow as Elizabeth

00:11:13.500 Warren Cherokee.

00:11:15.580 Not Elizabeth Warren, 99.9% generic white, possibly 0.1% Cherokee, then probably not even that.

00:11:25.380 Just Elizabeth Warren Cherokee. 0.99

00:11:26.920 So she's been using this for her entire academic career.

00:11:31.280 And then she says, no, no, no, I wasn't lying.

00:11:33.460 See, I'm one 1,000th Native American.

00:11:36.460 Who's that going to convince?

00:11:37.660 Conservatives obviously are going to laugh at that as we've been doing all day.

00:11:41.860 But is that going to convince moderates?

00:11:43.920 Is that going to convince independents?

00:11:45.500 You say, oh, well, you know, I thought she was lying about being Native American, but she's 1.00

00:11:50.020 one 1,000th.

00:11:50.880 So I don't know, I'm, I must be like one 1,000th sub-Saharan African, right?

00:11:56.600 Somewhere, especially Italy.

00:11:57.860 You know, a lot of people are moving around in Sicily in the, in the good old days.

00:12:01.460 Does that, it doesn't make me a black guy.

00:12:04.440 Doesn't.

00:12:04.900 I don't, I don't get to say certain words.

00:12:06.860 I don't get to sing certain songs that are politically incorrect and offensive.

00:12:11.140 Absolutely not.

00:12:12.660 Of course not.

00:12:13.500 And this doesn't make her an Indian, but even among the left, because I think what, what

00:12:18.620 she's thinking right now is, okay, I'm going to at least give myself this data point that

00:12:23.920 I can always point back to before the 2020 primaries heat up.

00:12:28.040 And I'm going to give leftist progressives an excuse not to hate me.

00:12:34.420 I'm going to give the race-obsessed left an excuse not to hate me.

00:12:39.420 Is that really going to work?

00:12:41.140 Because now they know, now they know that she's 99.9% white. 1.00

00:12:46.440 Before, we all, everybody knew it, but there was this kind of, you could just pretend, say,

00:12:51.200 well, we don't know.

00:12:51.720 She never took a test.

00:12:52.400 She could be Indian.

00:12:53.160 We just don't know.

00:12:54.100 And she doesn't look Indian, but we don't know.

00:12:55.880 Now we know. 0.55

00:12:56.760 It's like the monster in a horror movie.

00:12:59.120 You know, when you, when you're watching a horror movie and the monster or the killer is

00:13:03.680 off screen, you fill it with whatever you want to see.

00:13:06.560 You fill it with your imagination and it really works.

00:13:08.400 When you see the monster, it's always a letdown because it can't live up to your expectations.

00:13:14.020 That is how the race-obsessed left, the activists that Liz Warren is trying to appeal to here, 1.00

00:13:19.640 that's what they're going to see.

00:13:21.040 Because the reality is going to disappoint them.

00:13:23.040 It already has.

00:13:23.800 Before we get any further with this, let me tell you about something that doesn't disappoint me.

00:13:28.140 Black Rifle Coffee.

00:13:29.380 Make a little money, honey.

00:13:30.160 If you have ever found yourself wincing at the weak taste of coffee from those left-leaning

00:13:35.660 soy corporate brands, you know, the ones that have become homeless shelters in recent days

00:13:42.160 because of ridiculous PR stunts.

00:13:44.360 I don't know.

00:13:44.780 I'm just, the ones that maybe come from the city of Seattle.

00:13:47.220 I don't know.

00:13:47.660 I'm just, I don't want to name any other brand.

00:13:50.640 You've probably thought, I wish they spent less time on meaningless bias training,

00:13:54.420 bathroom policy reform, donating to Planned Parenthood, all that other stuff that defies common

00:13:59.200 cents and more time on their coffee.

00:14:09.600 I got to tell you, I would probably buy it just to support veterans' first responder causes

00:14:13.320 because they're not politically correct wackos.

00:14:15.480 Yeah.

00:14:15.980 But what actually matters to me is just how good the coffee is.

00:14:19.100 The coffee is excellent.

00:14:20.100 You cannot beat the coffee.

00:14:21.420 It is superb.

00:15:02.140 So, I think this is going to backfire because in the intersectional left, just like in that

00:15:08.700 commercial, you know, I'm a victim.

00:15:10.460 I'm one 32nd victim.

00:15:11.880 I'm one 1,000th victim. 0.90

00:15:13.480 If you're a white lady from Harvard, you're going to lose that battle eventually. 1.00

00:15:17.960 And now we have the data point.

00:15:20.080 Now, when she says, well, we don't know.

00:15:21.540 I might be Native American.

00:15:22.540 You can say, you're not.

00:15:24.020 You're one 1,000th Native American, maybe.

00:15:27.660 Maybe not even that.

00:15:29.520 I think that's going to really hurt her.

00:15:31.320 Also, I would like to point out identity politics doesn't work for Native Americans because there 0.96

00:15:35.980 aren't enough of them.

00:15:37.300 So, I think they're kind of believing their own press releases.

00:15:40.760 They're believing some of the stuff that they're putting out there in their advertisements.

00:15:44.460 And this is an important lesson.

00:15:46.140 One of the best pieces of advice I ever got from my mother is don't believe you're on

00:15:49.440 press releases.

00:15:50.480 Don't believe the stuff that you were saying just to kind of puff up your activities or

00:15:54.480 puff up your campaign.

00:15:55.980 Don't fall into the trap of believing that yourself.

00:15:59.300 I think she's believing that.

00:16:00.880 She thinks, if I can claim even one 1,000,000th Native American ancestry, I'll get that victim 0.99

00:16:05.860 point.

00:16:06.200 You won't.

00:16:07.540 The appeal of racial identity politics, which the left has totally embraced for decades now, 0.75

00:16:14.920 the appeal is a brutal appeal.

00:16:17.340 It's not an ideological appeal.

00:16:19.100 It's not a philosophical appeal.

00:16:20.900 It is brutal.

00:16:21.920 It gets to our very basic animal instincts, which is, you look like me.

00:16:25.940 I look like you.

00:16:27.140 I'll vote for you.

00:16:27.980 That's the appeal that they're making.

00:16:29.480 And it's pretty cheap and it's pretty tawdry and it's not a human or humanistic or elevated

00:16:34.420 appeal.

00:16:34.920 But it only works if you look like the person. 0.78

00:16:39.080 The identity appeal only works if you can say, yeah, I'm going to help out black people 0.96

00:16:44.240 specifically and that other guy hates black people and I'm going to help out Hispanics 0.99

00:16:47.920 specifically and the other guys hate Hispanics. 0.96

00:16:50.280 It only, if you're appealing directly to that group, what's the appeal for Native Americans?

00:16:55.060 What argument is she making on behalf of Native Americans? 0.94

00:16:57.720 How many are going to swing the vote?

00:16:58.920 At least in certain municipalities, if you can actually appeal to race and you can get

00:17:03.880 racial groups to vote as a block, then you can, then it, then it works. 0.64

00:17:08.180 It at least pays off at the ballot box.

00:17:10.240 That doesn't work for Native Americans. 0.79

00:17:12.200 She, she, she must be kicking herself that she doesn't have some, you know, more, more 1.00

00:17:16.200 populous racial minority group that she could cynically try to play on.

00:17:19.880 The, the other, the other reason this doesn't work for Democrats is it reminds American voters

00:17:24.920 of the Democrats' terrible history.

00:17:26.740 So this is not going to be as bad an effect as the rest of them, but it reminds voters

00:17:30.680 of the one drop rule, which is this racist Democrat policy from the 19th and 20th centuries

00:17:36.680 that if you had even one little teensy drop of black heritage in you, then you were black

00:17:45.060 for purposes of the law and therefore you were a second class citizen. 0.93

00:17:48.520 That, that's obviously a racist idea.

00:17:52.060 It's a, uh, uh, creates racial hierarchies that do, do not and should not exist.

00:17:57.280 And she's buying into that a century later for her Native American, uh, lies because what 0.92

00:18:03.600 a tangled web we leave when we, when we practice to conceive, uh, when we practiced, oh, that's

00:18:08.800 no, that, that was a Freudian slip.

00:18:10.720 A Freudian slip is where you say one thing and mean your mother.

00:18:13.000 What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

00:18:17.060 Deceive.

00:18:17.860 And that's what Liz Warren has done. 0.92

00:18:19.740 She told this lie in the 1980s.

00:18:22.540 She was becoming a professor.

00:18:24.320 She switched from white ethnicity to Indian, Native American ethnicity.

00:18:29.480 This, uh, she contributed, you know, recipes to that cookbook and Harvard touted this for

00:18:35.340 her.

00:18:35.480 They said, we have a Native American on staff.

00:18:37.500 She's been covering up for that lie ever since.

00:18:39.580 And this evidence today exposes that lie even more.

00:18:44.000 Does she, just putting aside all of that ugliness, does she really think this quells the issue

00:18:50.040 that people are going to say, okay, well, okay, one, one thousandth.

00:18:53.140 Of course not.

00:18:53.780 This is more fodder.

00:18:55.120 And she's using this to galvanize the left. 1.00

00:18:57.800 Does she not think her primary opponents in 2020 on the left are going to use this?

00:19:03.000 Does she not realize that Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Joe Biden, all of these guys are going

00:19:08.360 to clobber her with this?

00:19:10.160 It's not, she is not the leader in this presidential race right now. 0.98

00:19:13.100 If anybody is, probably Joe Biden is because Barack Obama might support him.

00:19:16.920 If there's a breakout star right now, she is not the leader.

00:19:19.860 She cannot play it as though she's the nominee.

00:19:23.140 She's got to play really hard, punch really hard. 1.00

00:19:25.160 And she's not doing it.

00:19:27.180 Why did she do it? 1.00

00:19:28.160 I think she did it because Trump makes people expose who they are.

00:19:31.440 He makes people expose who they really are.

00:19:34.160 You know, I remember this vividly in the 2016 primaries.

00:19:38.860 There was that moment on stage where President Trump, he's talking to Jeb Bush, he's prodding

00:19:43.700 Jeb Bush, and Jeb Bush says something that, you know, he thought Donald would approve of.

00:19:48.940 And Donald puts his hand out there and Bush smacks it, gives him a weird, like awkward

00:19:53.560 high five.

00:19:54.080 And this killed Jeb Bush because Jeb Bush had been running on, I am this serious, mature,

00:20:00.820 confident person in the room, very sober.

00:20:04.340 But no, he was okay.

00:20:05.520 He's a politician like everybody else.

00:20:07.060 And President Trump exposed that when he, when he did his like, yeehaw, you know, jump

00:20:11.080 up and smack Trump's hand.

00:20:12.200 It exposed him as not really being more stable, not really being more mature than anybody else.

00:20:17.200 He might've held a Chablis glass the right way, but it exposed that lie.

00:20:20.680 He does it to everybody.

00:20:21.260 He obviously did it to Hillary when he, when he had a prodded Hillary Clinton into calling

00:20:26.100 half the country deplorable and irredeemable.

00:20:28.720 She exposed who she was.

00:20:31.140 The Democrats now are admitting to being a mob because they hate Trump so much.

00:20:34.500 They say, yeah, you bet we want to go clobber them at their house where their children sleep 0.99

00:20:38.360 in restaurants. 0.81

00:20:39.420 You bet we're going to go out there and get them.

00:20:41.320 So he's, he's forcing them to admit who they are.

00:20:43.680 And Liz Warren is doing that too. 0.91

00:20:45.120 And unfortunately for Liz Warren, she's an old white lady. 1.00

00:20:47.680 This is the difference between Democrats and Republicans here.

00:20:50.340 Because what are the Republicans talking about in their strategy sessions?

00:20:55.080 They say, we're going to go hard on political correctness.

00:20:58.120 We'll get to that in a second later.

00:20:59.780 We're going to go hard on immigration. 1.00

00:21:01.760 We're going to go hard on the economic prosperity, the virtual extinction of unemployment, the relative

00:21:07.460 peace around the world.

00:21:08.140 That's what we're going to campaign on in this election.

00:21:10.120 What are the Democrats thinking?

00:21:11.480 Thinking, hmm, is one 32nd enough?

00:21:14.380 Is that, is one 1,000th enough?

00:21:16.780 By the way, it's not.

00:21:17.680 For membership in these Indian tribes, usually you need one quarter Indian heritage.

00:21:24.420 That's for most tribes.

00:21:26.400 Some, you can go down to 1 16th.

00:21:29.720 I think the Eastern Cherokees allow you to go down to 1 16th.

00:21:34.220 And the Cherokee Nation says there's no limit, there's no minimum, but you do have to be able

00:21:37.940 to document it.

00:21:39.480 She doesn't have any of that.

00:21:41.060 Liz Warren doesn't have, doesn't meet any of those requirements.

00:21:43.380 She would be rejected for membership even though she contributed powwow chow to that cookbook.

00:21:50.180 That is the reality of this.

00:21:52.660 And I'm one, I'm less than one 1,000th Native American is not an answer. 0.82

00:21:57.520 The other political error that she's making here is she doesn't realize that when you're 1.00

00:22:03.760 explaining, you're losing.

00:22:05.920 So Ronald Reagan articulated this very well.

00:22:08.360 When you are explaining in politics, you are losing.

00:22:12.000 What do you mean by that?

00:22:13.420 Well, in politics, sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

00:22:17.860 Trump is a good example.

00:22:18.900 Brett Kavanaugh is a good example.

00:22:20.580 When you punch back really hard, it disorients your opponent.

00:22:24.180 But when you're explaining, you've already given up the argument.

00:22:26.660 If somebody says to you, when did you stop beating your wife?

00:22:29.160 You say, well, what, what, what, did you, did you talk to my wife?

00:22:31.360 My wife will tell you that, that I, I didn't beat her.

00:22:33.740 And I, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:34.280 And you've already lost because you've accepted the premise that they're giving you.

00:22:37.520 When you're explaining, you're losing.

00:22:40.040 Sometimes it's true. 0.99

00:22:41.020 The premise that Liz Warren is fighting against here is that she's a liar and a fraud and inauthentic. 1.00

00:22:46.360 That's true. 0.71

00:22:47.380 She's not going to win by fighting that.

00:22:50.060 That's true. 1.00

00:22:51.220 She's a fraud. 1.00

00:22:52.300 She's not going to win by explaining why she's not a fraud. 0.99

00:22:54.880 She's got to hit something else. 0.80

00:22:56.060 She's got to talk about, I don't know, health care or whatever other, or, you know, soaking the rich, I think is paid. 1.00

00:23:01.820 Medicare for all.

00:23:02.720 I don't know.

00:23:03.520 She's got to run on her socialist program. 1.00

00:23:06.440 That's the only way she has a chance.

00:23:08.000 If she's fighting on the terms of this premise that she's, she's, she's not really inauthentic.

00:23:14.080 She's not really a fraud.

00:23:14.880 She's going to lose.

00:23:17.100 President Trump uses this to great effect when you're explaining you're losing.

00:23:20.860 So you always punch back.

00:23:21.760 If you saw this 60 Minutes interview, it was superb.

00:23:24.940 And don't take my word for it.

00:23:26.320 Because obviously I'm, I'm a little biased.

00:23:27.980 I, I like the president.

00:23:30.580 Variety admitted this.

00:23:31.720 A left-wing Hollywood publication, Variety said, quote, 60 Minutes outmatched by Donald Trump.

00:23:38.800 Here's a clip of him talking to Leslie Stahl.

00:23:41.460 You go out and you go to Mississippi.

00:23:43.940 The famous Mississippi speech.

00:23:45.700 I had one beer.

00:23:47.580 Well, do you think it was, nope, it was one beer.

00:23:50.360 Oh, good.

00:23:51.160 How did you get home?

00:23:52.080 I don't remember.

00:23:52.880 How'd you get there?

00:23:53.560 I don't remember.

00:23:54.320 Where is the place?

00:23:55.080 I don't remember.

00:23:56.040 How many years ago was it?

00:23:57.220 I don't know.

00:23:58.580 I don't know.

00:23:59.980 And you mimicked.

00:24:01.140 I don't know.

00:24:01.960 Professor Blasey Ford.

00:24:03.340 You mimicked her.

00:24:04.760 Had I not made that speech, we would not have one.

00:24:07.900 I was just saying she didn't seem to know anything.

00:24:10.500 No.

00:24:10.780 And you're trying to destroy a life of a man who has been extraordinary.

00:24:15.900 Why did you have to make fun of her? 1.00

00:24:18.300 I didn't really make fun.

00:24:19.760 Well, they were laughing.

00:24:20.240 What I said is, the person that we're talking about didn't know the year, the time, the place.

00:24:26.700 Professor Blasey Ford got before the Senate and was asked, what's the worst moment?

00:24:32.140 And she said, when the two boys laughed at me, at my expense.

00:24:35.600 And then I watched you mimic her, and thousands of people were laughing at her.

00:24:41.040 They can do what they, I will tell you, the way now Justice Kavanaugh was treated has become a big factor in the midterms.

00:24:52.660 Have you seen what's gone on with the polls?

00:24:55.160 But did you have to?

00:24:56.460 Well, I think she was treated with great respect.

00:24:58.560 I'll be honest.

00:24:59.480 But do you think you treated her with great respect?

00:25:01.560 Do you think you treated her with great respect?

00:25:03.480 I think so, yeah.

00:25:04.180 I did.

00:25:04.560 But you seem to be saying that she lied.

00:25:08.180 You know what?

00:25:08.880 I'm not going to get into it, because we won.

00:25:10.760 It doesn't matter.

00:25:11.660 We won.

00:25:12.900 Did you see?

00:25:13.620 There is so much in that clip.

00:25:15.440 There are actually, I mean, it's typical, you know, Trump bluster.

00:25:18.040 But there is a lot of rhetoric to realize there.

00:25:20.960 And it's all on this, when you're explaining, you're losing.

00:25:24.100 So she brings it up.

00:25:25.140 She says, you mocked, you made fun of Christine Ford.

00:25:30.560 You know, that lady who changed her story a thousand times and discovered these 30-year-old memories after the fact at the 11th hour. 0.74

00:25:38.620 You know, that lady. 1.00

00:25:39.560 You made fun of Christine Ford.

00:25:42.320 And so his first reaction is, no, I didn't really make fun of her.

00:25:46.400 So his first reaction is denial.

00:25:48.700 It's a very New York thing.

00:25:49.920 Deny till you die.

00:25:51.620 So his first reaction is denial.

00:25:53.480 And then she shows the clip and she goes on.

00:25:56.080 But you made fun of her.

00:25:57.940 Why did you make fun of her? 0.95

00:26:00.440 Now, what a less skilled media operative or a less skilled politician would have done there is, I didn't really make fun of her.

00:26:06.980 I said, hypothetically, I just pointed out, you know, the testimony.

00:26:12.580 But I wasn't making fun of her.

00:26:14.440 I was, well, define the word fun.

00:26:16.740 And define making.

00:26:17.760 And, well, it depends on what the definition, you know.

00:26:20.320 No.

00:26:20.640 What he does is he realizes where this is going.

00:26:23.640 If it were just one question, they could move on.

00:26:25.500 But he realizes that Leslie Stoll of 60 Minutes is going to try to nail him on this point. 0.99

00:26:30.420 And just drill it until he says something stupid and they're going to run with that. 0.98

00:26:33.400 So what does he do? 1.00

00:26:34.460 He immediately turns it to Kavanaugh.

00:26:36.740 He says, look, the way Kavanaugh was treated very, he even takes that little beat.

00:26:40.220 You can see it turn.

00:26:41.400 Kavanaugh was treated very unfairly.

00:26:42.960 What they did to Kavanaugh was so awful.

00:26:44.660 So he changes it.

00:26:45.800 He moves the topic into a new direction.

00:26:48.600 And then she says, but I want to get back to talking about how you made fun of her.

00:26:53.080 Didn't you make fun of her?

00:26:55.140 And he says, absolutely not.

00:26:57.060 No, I didn't.

00:26:57.820 Do you notice the difference there?

00:26:59.060 At first he said, oh, I didn't really make fun of her.

00:27:00.960 To, I did not make fun of her.

00:27:03.000 To, then she says, no, didn't you though?

00:27:04.460 And he says, I treated her with great respect.

00:27:06.740 I think I treated her with great respect.

00:27:08.220 Just within that answer.

00:27:09.680 Now you might say these sort of contradict one another.

00:27:12.340 They don't quite contradict one another.

00:27:13.560 But you are seeing rhetorical strategies change as he's getting where this is going.

00:27:19.080 And he is fighting.

00:27:20.120 He is punching right back.

00:27:21.280 He goes, I think I treated her respectfully.

00:27:23.040 Yeah, I think I treated her respectfully.

00:27:24.720 And Leslie Stahl still pushes it. 1.00

00:27:26.620 So she's just there hectoring him, just badgering him.

00:27:29.640 And so finally he says, well, we won.

00:27:32.400 Doesn't really matter now, does it?

00:27:33.580 Because we got him on the court.

00:27:34.800 So yeah, keep trying.

00:27:36.020 Because he's still on the court.

00:27:37.980 And that, I think that really shows you a lot about how we should handle politics

00:27:41.860 through the midterms and afterward.

00:27:44.800 They are not, that's not an honest question.

00:27:47.560 Were you making fun of her?

00:27:49.100 You were making fun of her.

00:27:50.080 Were you making fun of her?

00:27:51.140 That's not an honest question.

00:27:52.580 That is a line of attack.

00:27:55.360 So you've got, you can't counter that line of attack

00:27:57.960 by trying to explain why you weren't really making fun of her.

00:28:00.440 He denied it.

00:28:02.260 He hit hard.

00:28:03.240 And then he changed the topic.

00:28:04.440 He moved on.

00:28:05.160 He blew right past it.

00:28:06.400 You know, Antonin Scalia, in an interview with Leslie Stahl,

00:28:09.580 almost the exact same setup, he had a similar interaction with her

00:28:13.160 where she said, you say, Justice Scalia,

00:28:15.680 that torture isn't cruel and unusual punishment.

00:28:18.560 And he says, yeah, that's right.

00:28:20.120 She goes, well, if you're trying to get information out of a terrorist,

00:28:22.460 he said, yeah, right.

00:28:23.040 If you're trying to get information, that's not punishment.

00:28:25.600 Then you're trying to get information.

00:28:26.780 How is that punishment?

00:28:27.500 She goes, well, you know, because you're a terrorist.

00:28:30.200 And she just keeps pushing. 0.92

00:28:31.420 She just keeps saying, it's cruel and unusual.

00:28:33.400 It's cruel and unusual.

00:28:34.320 It's cruel and unusual punishment.

00:28:35.940 And finally, he just cuts her off and he says, well,

00:28:38.440 that's my view and it happens to be correct.

00:28:41.600 Which is a line that I now use constantly, you know, whenever,

00:28:45.080 whenever you get to the end of an argument and say, well,

00:28:47.220 that's my view and it happens to be correct.

00:28:49.080 And President Trump realizes this too.

00:28:51.100 I think Republicans should get it.

00:28:52.800 You know, I saw Jeff Flake today was getting squishy again.

00:28:56.480 I know, shock.

00:28:57.120 Also, water is wet and the sky is blue and the sun shines.

00:29:00.140 And Jeff Flake said, well, we shouldn't have spiked the football over Kavanaugh.

00:29:04.480 Spike that football.

00:29:06.580 I want, I want para jumpers, you know, out of helicopters and out of airplanes to grab a 1.00

00:29:13.440 football, not deploy their parachute and just dive it right into the dirt.

00:29:17.700 I want it to go halfway through the core of the earth.

00:29:20.500 Spike that football.

00:29:21.660 It teaches them a lesson.

00:29:22.720 This is a bare knuckle moment and we can't have people who don't understand that.

00:29:28.060 So then there's more fake news.

00:29:29.440 I know you'll be shocked to find that out.

00:29:31.460 The fake news this weekend was particularly egregious.

00:29:34.800 NBC tweeted this out.

00:29:35.840 They said, quote, watch, President Trump says that Robert E. Lee was a great general during

00:29:42.140 Ohio rally, calling the Confederate leader incredible.

00:29:46.280 Incredible.

00:29:47.120 Not just great general here.

00:29:48.600 Incredible.

00:29:50.120 Now, here's the clip that they posted with President Trump.

00:29:53.020 It also gave you a general who was incredible.

00:30:01.340 He drank a little bit too much.

00:30:04.040 You know who I'm talking about, right?

00:30:07.100 So Robert E. Lee was a great general.

00:30:10.900 And Abraham Lincoln developed a phobia.

00:30:15.900 He couldn't beat Robert E. Lee.

00:30:18.380 He was going crazy.

00:30:20.300 Couldn't beat Robert E. Lee.

00:30:21.580 Okay.

00:30:21.700 So you heard that.

00:30:23.020 You heard that begin.

00:30:23.820 That was the whole clip that they posted.

00:30:25.560 The trouble with their tweet is that it was completely incorrect.

00:30:29.000 They tweeted out, I feel like Herman Cain.

00:30:31.760 Herman Cain, during one of the debates in 2012, some Bloomberg reporter said,

00:30:36.260 Mr. Cain, we've analyzed your tax plan and it'll cost the government way too much money.

00:30:42.860 And he said, well, the problem with your analysis is that it is incorrect.

00:30:46.900 That's the problem with your tweet, NBC, is that it is incorrect.

00:30:51.860 So they tweet, correction.

00:30:55.720 An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as incredible at a rally in Ohio.

00:31:01.640 It was General Ulysses S. Grant, not General Robert E. Lee.

00:31:06.680 It was the opposite general.

00:31:08.860 It was the good guy, not the bad guy.

00:31:11.800 They go on.

00:31:12.320 An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark.

00:31:16.240 Here is the full clip.

00:31:16.980 Here's the full clip.

00:31:17.500 They didn't know how.

00:31:20.300 And one day, it was looking really bad.

00:31:24.980 And Lincoln just said, you hardly knew his name.

00:31:29.920 And they said, don't take him.

00:31:31.960 He's got a drinking problem.

00:31:35.100 And Lincoln said, I don't care what problem he has.

00:31:37.740 You guys aren't winning.

00:31:41.000 And his name was Grant, General Grant.

00:31:44.040 And his name was Grant, General Grant.

00:31:50.400 You heard that.

00:31:50.880 The setup on the incredible general in that first clip was he had a drinking problem.

00:31:55.400 The payoff in this clip is he had a drinking problem, but he was an incredible general Ulysses S. Grant.

00:32:02.040 So they finally released that.

00:32:03.900 How long do you think it took NBC News to correct that story?

00:32:07.980 And by correct, I mean completely reverse it.

00:32:11.400 Completely reverse it.

00:32:12.600 You remember, there was a study a few years ago that came out, some psychology study, that said that conservatives are much more likely to be authoritarian than leftists.

00:32:23.440 And then years later, they corrected that.

00:32:25.720 And they said, oh, actually, it's the opposite.

00:32:28.380 Oh, actually, the leftists are authoritarian.

00:32:31.300 Sorry, we forgot it was opposite day when we released the video.

00:32:34.120 So I guess it was opposite day when NBC News released that clip.

00:32:37.100 How long do you think it took them to correct that?

00:32:39.800 Five minutes?

00:32:41.200 Ten minutes?

00:32:42.120 Ten minutes on Twitter is a long time.

00:32:43.800 Two hours?

00:32:44.580 Two days.

00:32:46.320 Two days it took them.

00:32:50.120 Are we to suspect that they didn't watch the clip?

00:32:52.800 I don't know.

00:32:53.060 Maybe they watched the clip.

00:32:54.040 That they don't understand how language works?

00:32:56.100 That's perfectly plausible.

00:32:57.840 It took them two days, though.

00:32:59.000 Why?

00:32:59.440 Because they're dishonest.

00:33:00.340 They always run the fake story on page one and then the correction on page 377.

00:33:07.500 And this clip, by the way, tells us a lot about Donald Trump.

00:33:11.340 I'll tell you what it tells us in a second.

00:33:13.620 Plus, we've got to get on to how Mitt Romney never learns anything, some important polls for the midterm elections.

00:33:19.120 And then I think I've discovered the straw that broke the camel's back of political correctness.

00:33:23.860 I think I've discovered the end of political correctness.

00:33:26.720 But first, we've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.

00:33:29.440 You go to dailywire.com.

00:33:30.860 And, by the way, if you join Daily Wire right now, you will get early access to another kingdom.

00:33:37.260 That's the podcast that I'm doing with Andrew Klavan.

00:33:39.160 He wrote the whole thing.

00:33:40.160 I read it.

00:33:40.940 It's been illustrated.

00:33:42.080 It's got this incredible artwork now.

00:33:43.740 Cool sets.

00:33:44.940 And it's Drew's story.

00:33:46.900 It's the second season.

00:33:47.720 First season was very popular.

00:33:49.200 This one is even cooler.

00:33:50.900 You will get that on Mondays.

00:33:53.080 And you'll get to watch the whole thing if you are a subscriber.

00:33:56.040 If you're not a subscriber, you've got to wait until Friday.

00:33:58.620 And then you just get to listen to it.

00:34:00.420 That's terrible.

00:34:01.520 Don't do that.

00:34:02.600 Go to dailywire.com.

00:34:04.240 It's $10 a month, $100 for an annual membership.

00:34:06.400 You get me.

00:34:06.820 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:34:07.540 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:34:08.200 You get to ask questions in the mailbag.

00:34:09.400 You get to ask questions in the conversation.

00:34:10.580 But then you get this.

00:34:14.300 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr, which contains heap big leftist tears these days.

00:34:19.660 Heap big leftist tears.

00:34:21.440 This has sustained my ancestors for generations and generations.

00:34:27.360 The great spirit of the Leftist Tears has moved from plane to plane as the Knowles family has moved across this great country.

00:34:35.260 And it can sustain you, too.

00:34:37.780 Look, you know I'm a Native American.

00:34:39.380 I was born in America.

00:34:40.580 This is a little Native secret that I've uncovered.

00:34:43.180 It has the Leftist Tears.

00:34:44.180 It will sustain you.

00:34:45.120 It will bring you joy all the days of your life.

00:34:47.220 Go to dailywire.com.

00:34:48.260 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:34:49.240 This clip tells us a lot about Donald Trump because he's talking about Ulysses S. Green.

00:35:04.980 He says, look, there was this incredible guy, but he had a drinking problem.

00:35:10.420 And so they didn't pick him.

00:35:12.500 And then Lincoln had this trouble because the Confederate general, Robert E. Lee, was a great general.

00:35:19.840 He kept winning victory after victory.

00:35:22.140 And Lincoln picked all the guys who looked like the good generals, all the guys who should have been the good generals.

00:35:27.540 You know, they had the right cut of their jib, and they talked good, and they went to West Point, and they all should have been great generals.

00:35:33.520 But they kept losing to Robert E. Lee.

00:35:35.140 And so Lincoln took a little look over at that alcoholic, that guy with a drinking problem, Ulysses S. Grant.

00:35:42.440 And he picked him, and he said, I don't care if he's got a drinking problem.

00:35:44.940 He can win.

00:35:45.780 He can fight, and he can win.

00:35:48.780 I'll put the historical seriousness of that story aside and just listen to Trump telling that story.

00:35:54.480 He's talking about himself.

00:35:55.880 And this is actually pretty self-effacing.

00:35:57.780 One of the things about Trump is he's this big ego, right?

00:36:00.280 He's always talking.

00:36:00.960 Trump is on every building that he's ever walked by.

00:36:03.240 He's plastered his name on it.

00:36:04.600 And this is pretty self-effacing because he's comparing himself to an alcoholic.

00:36:08.340 He's saying, look, I know I don't look like the tough conservative president.

00:36:13.500 I know I don't sound like him.

00:36:14.880 I don't talk like the president.

00:36:16.240 I don't talk like the guy who can fix the economy, bring peace around the world, you know, fix some wars here and there, renegotiate.

00:36:23.360 I know I don't talk like that guy, and I don't look like that guy, and I've got my own flaws.

00:36:27.980 But sometimes that's just the guy who can get it done.

00:36:32.640 And I think he's absolutely right.

00:36:34.220 And some more evidence for this is that he's said this before.

00:36:37.440 They were talking about Brett Kavanaugh's beer drinking.

00:36:39.960 You know, I like beer.

00:36:40.580 I still like beer.

00:36:41.220 I drink beer.

00:36:41.760 I like beer.

00:36:42.640 And Trump said, you know, I'm basically the only politician in the world who can say I've never had a beer.

00:36:48.020 I've just never, I've never had a beer.

00:36:50.120 And imagine if I did.

00:36:51.620 I would be the worst.

00:36:52.900 The only good thing about me is that I don't drink.

00:36:55.680 That was his quote.

00:36:56.500 It was almost word for word his quote.

00:36:58.160 And that was self-effacing.

00:36:59.860 It means he's got a sense of his own flaws.

00:37:02.320 And he's a very flawed guy.

00:37:03.900 No question about it.

00:37:05.380 But for him to talk like this at a rally is pretty impressive to me.

00:37:09.140 It actually shows me that he understands his place, not just in the Republican Party, not just in the American government, but also in history.

00:37:17.220 That he's the guy who goes in and just the unlikely fixer.

00:37:22.360 He's the unlikely guy that you'd never pick in ideal circumstances.

00:37:26.560 You'd always pick the guys who look like they should win except they can't win.

00:37:29.500 So you pick that guy and maybe he can pull you out of victory.

00:37:33.720 I'm really impressed when I see these things.

00:37:35.620 Sometimes I worry, you know, that he really is the caricature that the left makes him out to be.

00:37:40.040 But then he keeps getting stuff right.

00:37:41.380 So I don't believe that.

00:37:42.060 I really, you know, I trust my lying eyes before I trust the lying New York Times.

00:37:50.200 Compare him.

00:37:51.300 Compare that line to Mitt Romney, who we've talked about, I think, months ago on the show.

00:37:56.200 We talked about how Mitt Romney can't learn anything.

00:37:58.420 Donald Trump does learn things, but Mitt Romney just can't.

00:38:01.120 He never learns anything.

00:38:02.680 Here is some, you know, lefty comes up, approaches Romney with a camera and tries to get Romney on the record talking about,

00:38:10.120 maybe it was a right winger, I don't know, talking about never Trump.

00:38:13.820 You know, President Trump is, you know, or rather Mitt Romney is going to go to the United States Senate.

00:38:20.460 He's going to have to work with Trump.

00:38:21.860 So whoever it is, left or right winger has the camera there.

00:38:24.380 And you hear this question come out from, you know, all the other press who are there with the microphones.

00:38:28.860 And they say, what about never Trump?

00:38:30.720 Here's his answer.

00:38:32.140 Mr. Romney, you led the never Trump movement.

00:38:35.200 What happened with that?

00:38:37.280 Oh, I don't think that was the case.

00:38:38.560 President Trump was not the person I wanted to become the nominee of our party.

00:38:42.580 But his president now, the policies he's promoted have been pretty effective.

00:38:46.440 And I support a lot of those policies.

00:38:49.340 When there's a place where I disagree, I want that out.

00:38:51.800 But right now, we're in a race to say, are we going to have a nation that is going to be guided by conservative principles

00:38:56.460 or are we going to take a sharp turn left?

00:38:59.240 And conservative principles work.

00:39:01.020 And that's why people, I think, are going to get behind Martha McSally and across Republicans across the country.

00:39:05.220 All right, thanks. We're going to hit it.

00:39:06.960 There's the Mitt Romney answer.

00:39:09.120 There it is.

00:39:09.520 They say, you were the leader of never Trump.

00:39:11.420 He was the leader of never Trump.

00:39:13.120 Mitt Romney was the former presidential nominee of the Republican Party.

00:39:16.360 He came out. 0.99

00:39:17.180 He called Trump a liar and a fraud. 1.00

00:39:19.320 He said his promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. 0.98

00:39:23.920 By the way, it turns out President Trump has kept more promises than virtually any president in recent history.

00:39:28.440 But he came out.

00:39:30.660 I mean, he gave that speech, that blistering speech against Donald Trump.

00:39:36.580 And he didn't vote for Donald Trump.

00:39:38.880 He was the face of the true never Trump movement.

00:39:42.680 And now what does he say?

00:39:43.440 Well, I wasn't the head of never Trump.

00:39:44.960 I never, what are you talking about never Trump?

00:39:46.100 It wasn't never, never Trump.

00:39:46.820 I'm a never, never, never Trump.

00:39:48.960 This reminds me, he did this exact thing in 1994 when he was running for Senate in Massachusetts.

00:39:53.100 He was asked about the record of Ronald Reagan.

00:39:56.400 Ronald Reagan and, you know, in the 1980s, Reagan Bush.

00:39:59.780 Here's his answer.

00:40:01.360 Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan Bush.

00:40:03.760 I'm not trying to return to Reagan Bush.

00:40:05.580 Same thing.

00:40:06.240 I was an independent during the time of Reagan.

00:40:07.680 I'm not trying to return to Reagan Bush.

00:40:09.040 I was an independent during the time of never Trump.

00:40:10.660 I'm not trying to return to never Trump.

00:40:12.620 Look, Mitt Romney comes from the squishy wing of the Republican Party.

00:40:18.140 His father, George Romney, came from that same wing.

00:40:20.280 The liberal, you know, kind of consensus, middle part of the Republican Party.

00:40:27.960 But he always pretends to be something different when he's running for office.

00:40:31.340 Mitt Romney invented Obamacare.

00:40:32.840 He was the governor who installed Obamacare in his state, and then he tried to pretend that he wasn't.

00:40:37.580 He's always running away from who he is.

00:40:39.360 It's the same problem that Liz Warren has. 0.98

00:40:42.020 I don't mean to beat up on Mitt Romney.

00:40:43.580 I'm sure he's a good guy.

00:40:44.600 But he just is so bad at this.

00:40:47.400 Like, he's so wrong on this one issue.

00:40:50.040 Be who you are.

00:40:51.900 If they had said, well, you know, you led never Trump.

00:40:55.160 What do you think now?

00:40:55.940 If they said that to him and he said, look, yeah, I was really anti-Trump, never Trump.

00:41:00.300 And then it turned out he's been a very good president.

00:41:02.740 I guess I was wrong.

00:41:03.580 I'm glad I got that one wrong.

00:41:04.640 And I can't wait to continue this great conservative success when I'm in the U.S. Senate.

00:41:08.600 That would be a great answer.

00:41:10.280 Still be a little skeptical of Romney, but at least he's being honest.

00:41:13.020 At least he's being authentic.

00:41:14.500 But he looks me in the eye and he tells me that reality isn't as it is.

00:41:18.260 If in that 94 election, he thought that being a conservative was a risk in that 94 election against Ted Kennedy.

00:41:25.480 Guess what?

00:41:25.780 He lost the election.

00:41:26.840 Of course he lost the election.

00:41:28.580 But if he came out there, they said, what do you think of Reagan-Bush?

00:41:30.500 And he said, I thought things went great during Reagan-Bush.

00:41:32.980 And I think the reason that we've seen an economic boost is because of the policies of Reagan-Bush.

00:41:37.980 And I think we defeated the Soviet Union, which by that time had been defeated because of Reagan-Bush.

00:41:42.960 Yeah, if returning to Reagan-Bush means winning the Cold War and having peace and prosperity, you're damn right I'm a supporter of Reagan-Bush.

00:41:50.280 If he had said that, he would have had a fighting chance.

00:41:52.780 If you stand in the middle of the road, you are going to get hit by a truck.

00:41:57.240 This is a fact of politics.

00:41:58.840 And he's doing the same thing again.

00:42:00.160 He's going to win the Senate seat, but it's really frustrating.

00:42:02.600 It's really, really unfortunate.

00:42:05.820 Speaking of polls, by the way, before we get on to the cause of the death of political correctness,

00:42:11.700 I want to point out an important poll that matters.

00:42:14.240 No, I'm not talking about Missouri.

00:42:15.680 No, I'm not talking about Indiana.

00:42:16.880 No, I'm not talking about Texas.

00:42:18.340 All of which show significant movement in the direction of the Republican candidate after Brett Kavanaugh.

00:42:25.200 I'm not talking, I'm talking about first man.

00:42:27.180 You saw this movie with Damien Chazelle came out over the weekend.

00:42:32.620 And, you know, Ryan Gosling movie about Neil Armstrong landing on the moon.

00:42:37.320 And it's one of these blockbuster Oscar bait movies.

00:42:40.880 And it flopped at the box office.

00:42:43.440 Now there had been some controversy with this movie because they don't show Neil Armstrong planting the flag on the moon.

00:42:49.400 Why didn't they do that?

00:42:51.320 I don't know.

00:42:51.640 I sort of suspect it's because they want to cozy up to Chinese audiences and overseas audiences,

00:42:57.020 which are going to constitute a lot of its profit.

00:42:59.920 But Ryan Gosling did an interview and he said, oh, you know, it's because it was a human achievement.

00:43:03.620 It's not an American achievement.

00:43:04.860 And this really irritated half the country.

00:43:06.780 So I was watching these box office returns pretty closely because I thought, you know, if this is a monster win at the box office,

00:43:14.700 conservatives aren't as influential as I thought we were.

00:43:18.140 The raw feeling of patriotism wouldn't be as big.

00:43:22.240 And this thing flopped.

00:43:23.140 It only made, I think, what is it, 16 million over the week?

00:43:25.380 16, 17 million.

00:43:26.540 Should have made a lot more money than that.

00:43:29.240 That's an important poll.

00:43:31.100 Polls are notoriously unreliable, especially generic polls, especially national polls.

00:43:35.800 I think that poll is pretty reliable.

00:43:37.500 This movie should have been a hit.

00:43:39.680 The only explanation I can come up with is that Americans don't want to see Hollywood disrespect them anymore.

00:43:45.780 They don't want to see elites disrespect them anymore.

00:43:48.240 They don't want to be pushed around.

00:43:50.300 22 days until the election.

00:43:51.700 That's an important data point.

00:43:55.600 I think I know why the tide turned.

00:43:58.660 There was this study that came out at the end of last week.

00:44:01.720 It showed that 80% of Americans oppose political correctness.

00:44:05.820 They think that it's a danger to the country.

00:44:08.060 80%.

00:44:08.500 This is an all-time high.

00:44:09.720 In the 1990s, the number was 53% opposed PC.

00:44:13.420 Then it rose even as late as 2016.

00:44:16.360 Polls put it about 73%.

00:44:17.940 Now it's up to 80% consider political correctness a serious problem in the country.

00:44:23.560 Why is that?

00:44:24.700 I think the answer is transgenderism. 0.97

00:44:29.020 I actually think that's the one that put it over.

00:44:31.300 Because, you know, it's one thing to say, you have to say happy holidays instead of merry Christmas. 1.00

00:44:37.680 You might roll your eyes and say, man, that's stupid. 0.99

00:44:39.640 I mean, the holiday is Christmas, but all right, whatever. 1.00

00:44:42.480 It's quite another thing to follow a guy's daughter into the changing room at the swimming pool.

00:44:47.240 Because you say that men can be women and women can be men.

00:44:50.840 That's a very different thing.

00:44:52.280 Sex is essential to our identities. 0.51

00:44:54.840 In the beginning, God created man.

00:44:56.340 Male and female, he created them.

00:44:57.940 This is a raw part of us.

00:44:59.960 We've got a lot of hormones pumping through our body. 0.97

00:45:02.280 The attraction for men to women and women to men is essential to the human condition.

00:45:07.440 It's enjoyed by at least 97% or 98% of the population.

00:45:12.100 It really matters.

00:45:14.080 It really moves people.

00:45:14.920 I think that's what this is about.

00:45:15.940 There was a story that came out from the women's cycling tournament, the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championship.

00:45:22.620 This transgender dude who now is pretending to be a woman won the women's championship. 0.83

00:45:31.740 Surprise, surprise.

00:45:33.480 Rachel McKinnon is the name.

00:45:35.000 And Rachel McKinnon tweets out, quote,

00:45:38.220 Lots of transphobic bigots are responding to my world championship wins saying, next up, the Paralympics.

00:45:44.120 Hey, women, you realize all these people, many of them women, are comparing you to disabled people, right? 0.67

00:45:48.920 Wow, offensive.

00:45:50.200 Because this person, this guy, Rachel McKinnon, is trying to distract from the fact that he, a man with a biological advantage,

00:45:58.700 took a prize away from women who should have won because it's a women's competition. 0.50

00:46:03.180 Because it's a women's competition. 0.99

00:46:04.680 And he actually, look, we've been predicting this forever and it's happened frequently too.

00:46:09.240 He actually responded because people said, look, you have a biological advantage.

00:46:13.800 He said, quote, focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue.

00:46:19.920 We shouldn't be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics.

00:46:22.740 We should be worried about their fairness in human rights instead.

00:46:25.500 But it's a sports competition.

00:46:28.560 Sports competition is about physical prowess.

00:46:31.960 He says that people are comparing women to the disabled in the analogy about the Paralympics.

00:46:37.380 Women do have a handicap. 1.00

00:46:38.760 There is a handicap when men are competing against women.

00:46:41.320 Men are stronger.

00:46:42.460 This guy, Rachel McKinnon, tweeted out, he said, we don't know why men do better at sports than women.

00:46:46.200 We don't know.

00:46:46.620 It's really complicated.

00:46:47.580 It's not complicated.

00:46:48.680 Men are stronger than women. 1.00

00:46:49.560 That's why.

00:46:50.780 Because then the response is always, well, Michael, you're not exactly an Adonis.

00:46:54.000 You're not a strong guy.

00:46:54.900 You're not physically fit.

00:46:56.020 Right.

00:46:56.420 I know. 0.90

00:46:56.940 I could still beat up virtually any woman. 0.99

00:46:59.240 I don't want to.

00:47:00.120 I never want to do that.

00:47:01.460 God forbid that ever happens.

00:47:03.520 I'm just telling you men are stronger than women.

00:47:06.560 I think that there is this idea, this crazy ideology, especially among millennials, that, oh, well, you know, men generally are stronger than women.

00:47:14.900 But look, there are a lot of women who could beat up guys. 1.00

00:47:16.820 There are not a lot of women who could beat up guys. 1.00

00:47:18.720 There are virtually no women who could ever beat up any guy. 1.00

00:47:22.660 People, you know, I don't know, maybe some like eight-year-old boy or something.

00:47:26.160 But people who are vaguely in the same age range, it virtually can never happen because men simply are stronger than women. 0.98

00:47:35.580 This is a biological fact.

00:47:37.180 And they're denying this biological fact.

00:47:39.140 And I think it cracked political correctness because I can look with my own two eyes and I can see that a guy is not a woman and that a woman is not a man. 0.89

00:47:47.820 And when that lie is exposed, when that essential lie is exposed, all the other ones, you think, oh, maybe illegal aliens aren't really undocumented dreaming dreamer, sleeping dreamers. 0.68

00:48:00.780 Maybe future documented America. 0.74

00:48:02.660 Maybe those lies, maybe it isn't true.

00:48:04.920 Maybe that falls apart.

00:48:06.760 I think you're seeing the crack up of political correctness.

00:48:09.860 And I would encourage people.

00:48:10.980 We're talking about earlier President Trump's political kind of gut reaction.

00:48:16.280 Look at where he goes on the issues.

00:48:18.220 I think there you're going to find where people resonate strongly.

00:48:21.120 Because he doesn't think about politics from the perspective of Edmund Burke or Russell Kirk or Michael Oakeshott or even Bill Buckley or whatever.

00:48:28.540 He's thinking about it from a really gut level, from a media level, from an information level.

00:48:33.360 And what did he focus on?

00:48:35.220 Political correctness, immigration. 1.00

00:48:38.300 Those were the big issues in the 2016 campaign.

00:48:41.020 And we're still seeing that really resonates with people.

00:48:44.040 The lies of political correctness, justice, injustice, protecting our borders, protecting our country.

00:48:48.620 Really good news for Republicans from all of those polls.

00:48:52.740 But look around because in the next 22 days, you're going to see polls get manipulated, try to suppress conservative votes, try to boost left-wing activism and left-wing votes.

00:49:03.800 Look around for that because it is bound to happen.

00:49:06.440 But we will be here drinking our pow-wow tears, our pow-wow chow tears and smiling because right now people should be cautiously hopeful.

00:49:15.400 Come back tomorrow.

00:49:16.060 In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles.

00:49:17.180 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
