00:00:30.000 A New York advice columnist accuses President Trump of raping her
00:00:33.820 23 years ago in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman.
00:00:38.160 She just seemed to remember this now and is using the accusation to sell a book.
00:00:42.920 We will analyze whether the claims are credible.
00:00:45.840 Then, new documents show that Ilhan Omar almost certainly committed immigration fraud
00:00:51.020 and possibly did so with her brother.
00:00:53.540 Gross.
00:00:54.160 Finally, pedophilia goes mainstream and Mayor Pete loses his luster in South Bend.
00:00:58.800 All that and more.
00:00:59.860 I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:08.680 A crazy lady is accusing Trump of raping her 23 years ago.
00:01:13.440 There's no other way to describe it.
00:01:15.900 This isn't to say that there's a 0% chance that the claims are true.
00:01:20.620 We'll analyze.
00:01:21.740 We'll go through exactly what she said happened and how she's defending it and Trump's response
00:01:25.540 as well, but it is certainly the case that she is a crazy lady.
00:01:29.500 It's also a little curious timing.
00:01:31.560 She's got this book out on feminism and men and only now, only as she's going on this book
00:01:36.720 tour, has she remembered this event that occurred allegedly 23 years ago.
00:01:41.440 She didn't remember it during the last two or three years when President Trump was the
00:01:44.780 most famous person on the face of the planet.
00:01:47.000 But now she has remembered it.
00:01:49.020 Now everyone is taking it super duper seriously and we will examine what that means for the
00:01:55.940 culture broadly.
00:01:56.980 I shouldn't say everyone is taking it super seriously.
00:01:59.680 The mainstream media are taking it seriously.
00:02:01.720 They're trying to push this story.
00:02:03.180 But I think people who are on Twitter, people who are just reading this, people who are just
00:02:08.280 voters going about their regular lives, I don't think any of them are taking this seriously
00:02:12.580 because the left has so weaponized sexual assault allegations that at this point, the bar of
00:02:19.500 credulity is very high.
00:02:22.040 It's very difficult to convince someone this actually happened.
00:02:24.740 This is bad news for people who actually have survived sexual assaults and rapes, but that's
00:02:29.700 part of the left's plan.
00:02:30.840 So what are they saying happened?
00:02:33.720 This woman, E. Jean Carroll, was an advice columnist for Elle, has been an advice columnist for Elle
00:02:40.340 for 26 years.
00:02:41.500 She now has a book out, What Do We Need Men For?
00:02:45.280 A Modest Proposal, tells you a little bit about where she's coming from.
00:02:49.960 And she has this one chapter that she's sent to New York Magazine, which is called Hideous
00:02:54.880 Men.
00:02:56.360 And the Hideous Men details all of these men that she hates, the last of whom is Donald
00:03:01.200 Trump.
00:03:02.020 So one of the previewed sections she sent to New York Magazine, it begins with this line.
00:03:05.820 When I entered Indiana University, I was the most boy crazy 17 year old in the nation.
00:03:12.600 So she's setting up this idea.
00:03:14.260 She was boy crazy.
00:03:15.600 She would go out with all these boys every day.
00:03:17.180 She was going out with one boy or two boys.
00:03:18.800 And now, all these years later, she hates men.
00:03:22.120 She wants to get rid of men.
00:03:23.220 She no longer sleeps with men.
00:03:25.680 And she says, in one of these instances, that she was in Bergdorf Goodman, a very expensive
00:03:30.100 store in New York.
00:03:30.980 And the scene is a little weird, but she's sort of flirting with Trump, and they're joking
00:03:36.420 about lingerie.
00:03:37.760 And she brings Trump into a dressing room, and she tells Trump to try on lingerie for
00:03:44.200 her or something.
00:03:46.000 And then he grabs her, and he makes a move for her, and he's groping her, and he's kissing
00:03:50.480 her, and then she leaves.
00:03:52.840 And that's it.
00:03:53.780 And allegedly, at some point, she's a little unclear on the details, but at some point,
00:03:59.480 she says she was almost raped or actually raped, but it didn't last very long.
00:04:06.080 Okay.
00:04:06.820 Is her claim credible?
00:04:09.380 You can read the chapter of her book that she released on New York Magazine.
00:04:13.100 You can read some of the coverage of it.
00:04:15.600 You should form your own conclusion on this.
00:04:17.780 She did an interview on CNN.
00:04:21.080 Listen for yourself.
00:04:21.840 What do you want to say to Donald Trump?
00:04:26.180 That terrifies me that you said that.
00:04:29.440 That is...
00:04:30.280 That is...
00:04:32.040 At the thought of confronting him?
00:04:33.600 No.
00:04:36.400 I...
00:04:36.920 You know, you just stunned me by saying that.
00:04:39.400 It terrifies me.
00:04:41.420 Although, I think I could...
00:04:43.300 I think...
00:04:44.020 Yeah.
00:04:45.180 You think that you could confront him now?
00:04:48.120 I mean, what part scares you?
00:04:49.200 Well, will you go with me, Allison?
00:04:51.040 Seriously.
00:04:52.280 You know, listen, that is a terrible situation.
00:04:55.680 Even a question, it just terrifies me.
00:04:58.160 Look at me.
00:04:58.600 I can hardly talk now that you said that.
00:05:00.340 What part?
00:05:01.240 What part terrifies you?
00:05:04.440 Well, it puts...
00:05:06.380 It reveals to me what I'm in the middle of doing is what it does.
00:05:11.680 That's...
00:05:12.200 You've made it very clear what I'm in the midst of doing.
00:05:15.400 Okay, so this woman is obviously a lunatic.
00:05:18.400 And I don't even mean that to make fun of her or anything like that.
00:05:22.000 She's clearly not well.
00:05:23.440 She's either on drugs or she's mentally unstable.
00:05:26.220 She is not speaking like someone who is in charge of her senses.
00:05:30.700 She's got these long pauses.
00:05:32.800 She's saying bizarre lines.
00:05:34.400 She's not answering questions.
00:05:35.460 She's not talking about the incident itself.
00:05:37.860 So she's certainly a lunatic.
00:05:40.080 Now, that doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
00:05:42.560 That is the other side of it.
00:05:43.740 So to give her her due doesn't mean it doesn't... didn't happen.
00:05:46.560 And we'll go through a couple more moments in this interview, and we'll have to come to
00:05:52.220 our conclusion.
00:05:53.120 But first, let's talk about finding freelance talent for your business or project.
00:05:57.460 Finding the right freelancer can be time-consuming, frustrating, overwhelming to manage.
00:06:02.800 Where do you go to find the talent?
00:06:04.260 Even if you're in a city like LA or New York, everybody's a freelancer.
00:06:07.340 You could throw a rock and you hit a freelancer.
00:06:09.340 But how do you actually find them?
00:06:10.360 How do you know that they'll be able to deliver?
00:06:12.620 Thanks to Fiverr Pro, finding the right freelancer doesn't have to be
00:06:16.480 a struggle.

00:07:43.540 Fiverr.com.
00:07:44.660 Code Knowles.
00:07:45.380 Check it out.
00:07:46.880 So this woman is not well, right?
00:07:50.000 It's really a shame that people are even putting her on television.
00:07:53.300 It seems exploitative.
00:07:54.980 Now, did it happen?
00:07:56.880 That's the question.
00:07:58.400 There's no evidence that this woman knows Donald Trump or that Donald Trump knows her,
00:08:03.000 except for one photo that she puts in the magazine article.
00:08:06.640 There's a photo of Donald Trump from behind, but it looks like Trump.
00:08:10.300 You can tell from the hair.
00:08:11.480 And they're at some sort of black tie gala, and it's in the lobby of a building because
00:08:16.400 you can see the revolving door, and it looks as though Trump is talking to her husband at
00:08:22.860 the time and her.
00:08:25.380 Again, who knows?
00:08:26.780 If you're in public life, you go to events like this all the time.
00:08:30.680 You meet hundreds of people at these events.
00:08:32.700 You take hundreds of photos at every one of these events.
00:08:35.500 You will meet people for 10 seconds.
00:08:37.240 They'll take a photo 99.9999% of the time.
00:08:41.220 You will never see that person again.
00:08:42.780 I was at a conference giving a speech on Friday up in Santa Barbara.
00:08:46.880 I probably took 100 or 200 pictures there.
00:08:49.860 I don't know all of those people.
00:08:51.500 I'll probably never talk to a lot of them again.
00:08:53.640 Same if I was at another event last night.
00:08:55.440 Donald Trump has been doing these for 40 years.
00:08:57.800 So you see one photo.
00:08:59.320 It doesn't really tell you a whole lot.
00:09:01.860 So let's let her, in her own words, describe what happened, and then you can decide if this
00:09:06.860 is credible.
00:09:07.840 And you thought when you included those 11 pages in the book that it wouldn't get this
00:09:13.380 amount of attention?
00:09:14.080 Why?
00:09:15.080 He was only one of 21 hideous men.
00:09:18.960 You know, we didn't...
00:09:20.340 But it is the President of the United States.
00:09:22.580 You didn't know the onslaught that you would be in the middle of right now.
00:09:27.640 I mean, you are talking about the President of the United States, and you are accusing him
00:09:31.060 of sexual assault.
00:09:34.540 Yeah.
00:09:34.960 And you've gone there.
00:09:37.720 It's part of the culture.
00:09:39.580 It's part of the hideous men thing.
00:09:41.660 Men have ruled.
00:09:44.000 They have run things, as you know, for the last 20,000 years.
00:09:47.380 I'm sick of it.
00:09:49.640 It's just time that women get to run things.
00:09:54.060 Okay.
00:09:54.520 There's no way she's telling the truth, right?
00:09:56.400 When you hear this, she's asked, what happened?
00:09:59.140 Tell me what happened with Donald Trump.
00:10:00.640 You're accusing Trump of sexual assault, and she tries to evade it.
00:10:04.960 First of all, she just kind of nods blankly and won't answer the question, so Alison Camerata
00:10:09.520 has to keep asking.
00:10:10.840 You accused the President, and what is her answer?
00:10:13.980 Does she say, damn right I accused the President.
00:10:16.080 That man's a horrible rapist, and he should be in prison.
00:10:19.680 No.
00:10:20.460 She actually kind of defends him.
00:10:22.080 She goes, oh, he's just one of the men.
00:10:23.860 There are a lot of hideous men.
00:10:25.200 So, if this guy raped you, which is the claim, why aren't you going after him?
00:10:33.240 Why aren't you giving all the details you can?
00:10:35.240 Why aren't you demanding justice?
00:10:36.840 Why are you defending him?
00:10:38.460 Well, it's because she's selling a book, which is called, who needs men?
00:10:43.700 Why do we need men?
00:10:44.480 Something like that.
00:10:45.600 And she's selling this chapter, Hideous Men, and nobody would read the book, and nobody would
00:10:51.300 read the chapter, and no one would care at all, except that she mentioned Donald Trump.
00:10:55.240 So, she includes Trump in there as almost a footnote, and now everyone's talking about
00:10:59.360 it, but she clearly doesn't want to keep talking about it.
00:11:01.900 And then you see at the end, she goes, look, it's just, it's the part of this hideous men
00:11:05.160 thing.
00:11:06.080 What is the hideous men thing?
00:11:07.640 That's your term.
00:11:08.500 I don't know what the hideous men thing is.
00:11:10.540 This is your ideological construct.
00:11:12.640 This is like what happens when you see this time and time again.
00:11:16.820 There's a police shooting.
00:11:18.460 They say this is evidence of racism.
00:11:20.380 Then you find out the cop was black.
00:11:23.080 Then you find out the guy, the perpetrator had a gun.
00:11:25.560 Then you find out it wasn't an evidence of racial bigotry.
00:11:29.340 And they say, well, okay, this example wasn't true, but it gets to a greater truth.
00:11:35.560 That's what we're seeing here, because she's being asked, what happened in this rape?
00:11:40.700 Did he rape you?
00:11:41.660 Are you pursuing this?
00:11:42.800 She goes, well, yeah, I mean, but it's not just Trump.
00:11:44.680 Forget about Trump.
00:11:45.380 Please stop asking about Trump.
00:11:46.960 It's part of the broader truth.
00:11:49.080 It's part of the hideous men thing.
00:11:52.140 Women have been oppressed for tens of thousands of years.
00:11:55.260 Men have been running things, and now women need to run things.
00:11:58.860 So wait, what are we talking about?
00:12:00.320 They're running things.
00:12:01.080 Why are we talking about the patriarchy?
00:12:03.100 We're actually talking about rape.
00:12:04.860 She doesn't want to talk about that.
00:12:06.060 She wants to talk about her ideology.
00:12:08.200 Why?
00:12:09.460 Because there's no evidence that this actual example actually happened.
00:12:13.400 But then, even if that isn't enough, she is asked point blank, will you pursue this as a criminal matter?
00:12:21.720 Once you're done selling books, once you're done getting New York Magazine to publish your chapter or whatever, will you actually pursue this as a criminal matter?
00:12:29.560 You know, where there will be an investigation, where there will be evidence, where if you make a false allegation, you look really bad.
00:12:37.280 It may even be criminal.
00:12:39.520 Here's what she says.
00:12:41.000 Are you prepared to keep fighting this, to tell your story?
00:12:46.400 Yes.
00:12:47.760 That's what I'm doing.
00:12:49.920 That's exactly what I'm doing.
00:12:51.780 It's the only way to change things.
00:12:53.780 It's the only way.
00:12:55.420 We have to hold him accountable.
00:12:57.760 Not only him, but a lot of guys.
00:13:00.220 And do you think that by pursuing an actual legitimate case through the New York City police, because the mayor has said that because the statute of limitations has changed, do you think that that could help further your story?
00:13:12.860 I'd consider it.
00:13:13.960 But as far as I know, the limitations have run out.
00:13:19.060 As far as I know.
00:13:20.500 But you would consider it now?
00:13:22.200 I'd consider it.
00:13:24.840 There it is.
00:13:25.620 She gives up the whole game.
00:13:27.620 Allison Camerota.
00:13:28.680 Kudos to Allison Camerota for at least asking sort of serious questions.
00:13:32.920 She says, look, Mayor de Blasio says the law has changed.
00:13:36.400 You can pursue this case as a criminal matter.
00:13:40.700 Will you do that?
00:13:42.480 She says, well, I don't know.
00:13:44.100 I don't know about that.
00:13:45.040 I mean, I would consider it, but I don't intend to do it.
00:13:48.760 And as far as I know, you can't pursue it as a criminal matter.
00:13:51.240 She's really pushing back on this, saying, no, no, no, I can't have to actually prove what I'm saying.
00:13:57.960 No, no, I'm pretty sure I don't, because she wrote the book assuming she would never have to prove it.
00:14:02.940 She published the chapter assuming she would never have to prove it.
00:14:05.880 Now Allison Camerota is saying, no, no, no, you can't.
00:14:08.280 Don't worry.
00:14:08.860 We can pursue this as a criminal matter.
00:14:10.940 She says, no, well, I would consider it.
00:14:13.160 And you see there again, she defends Trump.
00:14:15.820 She says, and it's not just Trump.
00:14:17.220 It's other guys.
00:14:18.060 We got to hold Trump accountable, but it's really bigger.
00:14:20.680 We have to hold everybody accountable.
00:14:24.540 If the president of the United States raped you in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman,
00:14:29.540 and you somehow just forgot about this for 23 years,
00:14:33.100 and then two and a half years into his presidency, you decide now you're going to start pursuing it.
00:14:38.280 And you are told that he can be held criminally libel.
00:14:43.240 If this accusation is true, then you pursue it as a criminal matter.
00:14:49.900 If it's not true, you answer like she answered just there.
00:14:54.440 Never gets into specifics about Trump.
00:14:56.580 Keeps trying to deflect.
00:14:58.580 Says she doesn't want to pursue the case.
00:15:00.100 I'll consider it.
00:15:01.340 I'll consider it, but I'm pretty sure it's not true.
00:15:04.040 No, it is.
00:15:05.020 You can pursue this as a criminal matter is what Allison Camerota is saying.
00:15:09.780 She goes, I'm pretty sure you can.
00:15:11.480 Please don't hold me to this.
00:15:12.760 Please don't.
00:15:14.120 Because now the next part of this story, if it is the case that she can pursue this as a criminal matter,
00:15:18.660 will be the obvious question.
00:15:19.960 Why isn't she going to do it?
00:15:21.840 There was that woman who, all the statutes of limitations had run out on Bill Cosby.
00:15:25.700 There was one woman who fell within the statute of limitations.
00:15:28.680 She pursued legal action, and now Bill Cosby's in prison.
00:15:31.560 So if this were true, if this allegation were true, presumably this woman could do exactly the same thing,
00:15:38.340 and then Trump goes to jail, except it's not true, except there's no evidence that it's true.
00:15:44.540 What do we conclude from this?
00:15:47.160 I suspect that this woman is a crazy person.
00:15:50.100 I think we all can assume she's a crazy person.
00:15:52.300 I also think she's a bit of a victim here.
00:15:54.220 I think she's a victim of her publisher, and I think she's a victim of CNN.
00:16:00.880 She writes this book.
00:16:02.120 She's some longtime feminist, writes a book about how she hates women, or hates men rather,
00:16:06.360 and thinks women should control the whole world.
00:16:08.360 And her publisher needs to sell books, so probably they're going to try to spice up the book a little bit.
00:16:13.320 You get this Trump allegation in there.
00:16:15.380 Then they need to sell the books immediately, so they start pimping her out to New York Magazine.
00:16:21.140 New York Magazine, which has very little journalistic integrity,
00:16:24.580 decides they're going to run this allegation without any corroboration whatsoever.
00:16:29.180 Then she brings this to CNN.
00:16:32.020 CNN brings her on television.
00:16:33.520 This is clearly not a well woman, and they are exploiting her.
00:16:37.500 They're exploiting her to get Donald Trump because the story is too good.
00:16:41.760 They don't check any of the facts.
00:16:43.300 They don't have any evidence.
00:16:45.000 We'll get to President Trump's response, which was typically blunt and direct.
00:16:49.020 But first, speaking of safety, Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer.

00:17:15.400 or you've got some burglar about to show up, or your mother-in-law is about to show up,
00:17:19.020 and I don't necessarily know which one is better,
00:17:21.520 you will get an alert, and you will be able to see here and speak to them all from your phone.
00:17:26.040 That is thanks to the HD video and two-way audio features on Ring devices.
00:17:30.260 So we at The Daily Wire love Ring.
00:17:31.880 I give it out to all my friends as housewarming gifts.
00:17:34.720 Senior producer Jonathan Haye, a couple months ago, he's sleeping in his bed at 3 o'clock in the morning.
00:17:39.520 What happens?
00:17:40.040 He gets an alert on his phone.
00:17:41.120 He could have gotten that alert if he was at the office or if he was on a beach in Hawaii somewhere.
00:17:45.400 He gets the alert, and it's these two drugged-out wackos trying to case the joint, trying to get into his house.
00:17:50.580 So he says, hey, what do you want?
00:17:52.700 He sees them.
00:17:53.440 He can talk to them.
00:17:54.120 They say, oh, oh, nothing, and then they scamper away because they know that that guy's home.
00:17:59.400 It can just, don't be a victim.
00:18:02.100 Make yourself feel safe.
00:18:04.380 Make your family feel safe.

00:18:17.600 Home security used to be really complicated.
00:18:20.180 Used to be, there was the neighborhood watch.
00:18:22.260 Used to be all these expensive, crazy machines and systems.
00:18:26.100 This is the first home security system that I have felt is sleek, cool, perfect, simple, an incredible value.
00:18:35.480 It's just the best one.
00:18:36.620 It's the first one that I've ever been attracted to, and it really does make me feel safe.
00:18:40.680 Just go to ring.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:18:44.120 Ring.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:18:49.320 So how does President Trump respond to these allegations?
00:18:51.960 Typical Trumpy way, doesn't mess around, doesn't beat around the bush.
00:18:57.120 He cuts right to the point.
00:18:58.000 He said, quote,
00:18:58.900 Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to get publicity for themselves or sell a book or carry out a political agenda.
00:19:07.860 Like Julie Swetnick, who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
00:19:12.040 It's just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence.
00:19:17.080 Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news.
00:19:22.800 It's an epidemic.
00:19:24.100 False accusations diminish the severity of real assault.
00:19:27.960 All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.
00:19:34.240 And then he said at the end of the statement,
00:19:35.660 If anyone has information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms. Carroll or New York Magazine,
00:19:41.520 please notify us as soon as possible.
00:19:43.640 The world should know what's really going on.
00:19:45.560 It is a disgrace and people should pay dearly for such false accusations.
00:19:49.900 Everything he said there is absolutely correct.
00:19:52.760 And as often happens, and I know there's this idea out there that Donald Trump is the least moral man that's ever walked the earth
00:19:59.820 because he's had very public moral failings throughout his career.
00:20:02.840 However, this statement shows total moral clarity.
00:20:06.960 False accusations, especially of crimes as serious as rape, are awful.
00:20:12.300 They're despicable.
00:20:13.860 They are, the accusers should be ashamed of themselves.
00:20:17.780 The journalistic outlets, quote unquote, that peddle them should be ashamed of themselves.
00:20:22.760 The people who believe them should be ashamed of themselves, who believe them without evidence.
00:20:27.460 We have to make this perfectly clear.
00:20:29.500 There is no evidence whatsoever that President Trump did this.
00:20:34.840 The only reason that we think that this is even possible to have happened at all is because this woman said it happened.
00:20:41.640 And this is what's behind the left's agenda of believe all women.
00:20:45.780 Hear this.
00:20:46.140 Believe all women.
00:20:47.380 As though having two X chromosomes automatically means you can't lie.
00:20:50.660 You're biologically incapable of lying if you're a woman.
00:20:53.420 If you have one of those Y chromosomes, then you gotta have investigations.
00:20:58.980 Then you need to show evidence.
00:21:00.160 But women, women can't lie.
00:21:03.040 Also, men can be women.
00:21:04.740 Also, gender is a social construct.
00:21:06.480 Also, there's no such thing as biological sex.
00:21:08.500 But I'm sorry, those are other leftist premises.
00:21:10.880 We have to put those aside for now because on this particular tactic, you have to believe all women.
00:21:18.140 Why?
00:21:18.920 Women lie all the time.
00:21:20.000 There have been rape hoaxes all the time.
00:21:24.520 Some of the biggest rape stories in the country over the last 10 years turned out to be completely fictitious.
00:21:30.160 That story at UVA that Rolling Stone, super serious journalistic outlet, ran of a girl being gang raped at UVA, completely made up.
00:21:39.680 She was proven to be a complete liar.
00:21:42.380 How about Duke Lacrosse?
00:21:43.280 This was the first major rape case in the last 20 years.
00:21:47.820 The first major campus rape case that we were talking about forever and ever.
00:21:52.100 A stripper said that she was raped by the Duke Lacrosse team.
00:21:55.360 Totally false.
00:21:56.080 She completely made it up.
00:21:57.800 Proven to have made it up.
00:21:58.940 Ruined those kids' lives, but completely made it up.
00:22:01.380 Al Sharpton got his career because he championed Tawana Brawley, who said she had been raped by a white guy.
00:22:08.800 Guess what happened?
00:22:09.480 Totally made up.
00:22:10.300 A total lie.
00:22:11.000 The left never apologizes for it.
00:22:13.040 Al Sharpton never apologizes for it.
00:22:15.740 There are false accusations.
00:22:18.460 Would that we could believe all women.
00:22:20.400 I would love it if we could believe every woman who said that she had been raped.
00:22:23.980 Rape is a horrible crime.
00:22:25.460 If we could believe all women, it would make it a lot easier to prevent it, to stop it, to get justice for the people who perpetrate it.
00:22:31.320 But we can't because there are constantly false rape allegations, often peddled by the media.
00:22:38.320 So you can't believe all women.
00:22:39.480 Why does the left want us to believe all women?
00:22:41.840 Because this is a tool that they use any time they don't like a guy.
00:22:48.500 In 1991, at the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, he's an excellent candidate.
00:22:56.500 He's got an impeccable legal background.
00:22:58.320 He's a totally upright guy.
00:22:59.560 They can't stop Clarence Thomas, the most originalist justice probably ever on the Supreme Court.
00:23:05.460 So what do they do?
00:23:06.740 They make up a sexual harassment claim against him.
00:23:09.660 And they bring Anita Hill over.
00:23:11.520 And now they turn Anita Hill into a saint.
00:23:14.020 And Anita Hill's testimony totally collapses, does not hold up to scrutiny.
00:23:18.460 There's no evidence that he did any of those things.
00:23:20.620 And now he's tarnished.
00:23:23.940 His reputation is still tarnished.
00:23:25.900 They still think of him as some sort of sexual predator.
00:23:28.600 Brett Kavanaugh, zero evidence that this guy ever assaulted women, was improper.
00:23:35.220 This guy lived one of the squeakiest, cleanest lives probably in politics.
00:23:39.940 A federal judge for 12 years, never a peep about this.
00:23:44.020 On one of the most important courts in the country, on the D.C. Circuit, never a peep.
00:23:48.000 But then President Trump nominates him for the Supreme Court.
00:23:51.600 And all of a sudden, well, now he's a rapist.
00:23:54.540 Because it's so heinous and because the left has set up this culture where you have to believe all women.
00:24:00.960 You take an accusation as evidence itself.
00:24:03.860 An accusation is not evidence.
00:24:05.820 An accusation is an accusation.
00:24:07.500 Then you need evidence to justify that.
00:24:10.400 And you see that happening here as well.
00:24:13.080 This is a major problem.
00:24:14.500 George Will, a number of years ago, came out.
00:24:17.000 And he said this culture of just automatically believing accusations on campuses now,
00:24:22.840 depriving the accused of their due process rights.
00:24:25.860 So students who are accused of rape or sexual assault,
00:24:29.080 that matter isn't handled by the criminal justice system in virtually 100% of cases.
00:24:34.100 Because in virtually 100% of cases, it's handled by kangaroo courts of professors and deans and administrators and bureaucrats
00:24:41.380 who have absolutely no right to be handling them, no expertise in handling these cases.
00:24:46.840 And they deprive the accused of due process.
00:24:49.660 That's not how it's supposed to work in the United States.
00:24:51.520 When George Will pointed out that this was unjust, pointed out that oppression and victimhood carries currency these days,
00:24:59.420 which is encouraging this sort of behavior,
00:25:02.020 he was accused by Elizabeth Warren, among other senators, of not taking rape and sexual assault seriously.
00:25:07.580 And what George Will said was what we should all say when we point out that you need evidence to back up an allegation.
00:25:13.840 He said, on the contrary, senators, I think I take rape and sexual assault much more seriously than you do.
00:25:23.460 New York Magazine thinks because they run some totally baseless allegation from 23 years ago that's just coming up now,
00:25:32.100 just coincidentally, coincidentally while this woman is trying to sell a book,
00:25:35.960 they think that they're taking sexual assault seriously.
00:25:38.400 They're getting it out in the open.
00:25:40.180 They're airing this news.
00:25:41.560 CNN taking it very seriously.
00:25:43.160 You're not.
00:25:44.320 When you air these totally baseless allegations without any evidence,
00:25:48.560 you are doing exactly the opposite.
00:25:50.500 You are damaging the credibility of every other woman who has been sexually assaulted or raped.
00:25:56.780 You are making it much, much harder to believe them because of hoaxes,
00:26:02.440 because of cynical people, because of people trying to peddle books without any evidence whatsoever.
00:26:09.980 Shame on them.
00:26:10.940 Shame on CNN.
00:26:11.840 Shame on this woman.
00:26:12.960 Shame on the people who are believing this without any evidence.
00:26:15.660 Speaking of false claims in politics, Ilhan Omar's story on her strange marriages is falling apart.
00:26:21.040 Looks like she almost certainly committed immigration fraud, and she might have done it with her brother, which is very, very gross.
00:26:27.020 We will examine the new evidence that has come to light, and we'll interview Ilhan Omar to see what she thinks about this.
00:26:35.540 We'll at least interview her as much as any other outlet has been able to interview her, which is absolutely not at all.
00:26:40.600 I think my next book is going to be Ilhan Omar's defense against the charges that she committed immigration fraud, a comprehensive guide.
00:26:47.180 We'll get to all of that and a whole lot more.
00:26:48.860 But first, I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.
00:26:52.540 Go over to dailywire.com.
00:26:53.780 Ten bucks a month.
00:26:54.560 One hundred dollars for an annual membership.
00:26:56.000 You get me.
00:26:56.460 You get the Andrew Klavan show.
00:26:57.320 You get the Ben Shapiro show.
00:26:58.500 You get the Matt Wall show.
00:26:59.680 You get to ask questions in the mailbag.
00:27:01.200 You get another kingdom.
00:27:02.320 You get to ask questions backstage.
00:27:03.680 You get everything.
00:27:04.640 You get everything.
00:27:05.340 And the Leftist Tears Tumblr.
00:27:08.920 That sounds like, oh yeah, that sounds like a rising star Democrat congresswoman commits immigration fraud.
00:27:17.000 That tastes like Pete Buttigieg is being called a racist by Democrats and by his own constituents.
00:27:24.260 That sounds like, mmm, that just tastes so, so good.
00:27:28.560 Make sure you get yours so you can drink them up.
00:27:30.440 Go to dailywire.com.
00:27:31.340 We'll be back with a lot more.
00:27:35.340 Ilhan Omar probably married her brother.
00:27:47.800 She at least almost certainly committed immigration fraud, but she also probably married her brother.
00:27:56.140 This rumor has been going around for a couple years now and the mainstream media will not pick it up.
00:28:01.260 They won't run with it.
00:28:02.040 It's only conservative media who have been saying, this woman's got a weird marital history.
00:28:06.140 It looks like she had a sham marriage.
00:28:07.720 It looks like she did it to gain U.S. immigration policy.
00:28:10.340 Looks like the guy might have been her brother.
00:28:12.160 The mainstream media wouldn't look into it, wouldn't look into the evidence.
00:28:15.200 Now we've got serious reports out that she did it.
00:28:18.720 New legal documents uncovered show the timeline.
00:28:21.280 This is all very confusing, as are most things that Ilhan Omar is involved in.
00:28:25.680 And here's the timeline.
00:28:27.920 2002, Ilhan Omar married a guy named Ahmed Hirsi in a religious ceremony.
00:28:34.300 Not a legal ceremony.
00:28:35.580 They were not legally married, but religiously they were.
00:28:38.520 Six years later, 2008, Omar and Hirsi allegedly, quote, decided to end our relationship in our faith tradition.
00:28:47.460 This raises a question.
00:28:50.300 They were married for six years religiously, but not married legally.
00:28:55.280 Why not?
00:28:55.940 What were they doing for six years?
00:28:57.800 And then if the relationship sours, they decide to end their relationship.
00:29:02.480 Okay, I guess it's convenient that they were never legally married.
00:29:04.880 Early in 2009, Omar then legally marries a guy named Ahmed Noor Saeed Elmi.
00:29:13.540 So she's never been married before, legally, so that's not a big deal.
00:29:17.700 It's a little fast, though.
00:29:18.820 She ends her relationship with her husband, or at least, according to religious tradition, husband of six years,
00:29:24.600 and then immediately gets married to this guy, Ahmed Noor Saeed Elmi.
00:29:29.100 Stranger things have happened, but the timing's a little weird.
00:29:31.220 Two years later, Omar and Elmi religiously divorce.
00:29:37.780 Now, not legally divorce.
00:29:39.520 They're still legally married, but they religiously divorce.
00:29:42.660 And that same year, Omar and Hirsi reconcile.
00:29:47.780 So Omar and Hirsi are married religiously for six years.
00:29:52.220 Then they break up, and Omar immediately legally marries another guy for two years.
00:29:57.000 Then religiously separates from the other guy, and immediately reconciles with her religious husband of six years.
00:30:04.200 And they get back together.
00:30:07.380 Okay, a little strange.
00:30:10.300 Then, in 2017, so six years later, Omar and Elmi legally divorce.
00:30:16.840 So they've been legally married for eight years, even though they've only ostensibly been together for two years.
00:30:24.320 And she's been with this other guy for all but two years of that, since 2002.
00:30:28.640 Then, in 2018, one year after she legally divorces Elmi, she legally marries Hirsi,
00:30:36.500 who she was religiously married to for six years, then split for a couple years, then got back together with for another six or seven years.
00:30:47.860 Okay, little strange.
00:30:49.920 So, that was what we already knew.
00:30:53.720 And the mainstream media wouldn't report on it, because they like Ilhan Omar so much.
00:30:57.120 And if you ever question anything she does, you're accused of racism and xenophobia and Islamophobia, whatever.
00:31:03.060 Legal documents now show that Omar was living with Hirsi, her first husband, in 2009.
00:31:10.220 That's a year after she says that they split up.
00:31:13.400 And that was the same year that she married Elmi.
00:31:16.500 And that was two years before she says she reconciled with Hirsi.
00:31:19.860 So now nothing about either of these timelines makes sense.
00:31:23.680 It gets even worse.
00:31:24.760 Of course, Omar and Hirsi, the first husband, the real husband, then probably not her brother husband,
00:31:30.920 also filed joint taxes together in 2014 and 2015.
00:31:37.200 So, Omar and Hirsi, this is wrong and bizarre for two reasons.
00:31:41.000 One, they were supposed to be broken up.
00:31:43.460 They were, they were, Omar and Hirsi were not legally married at this time.
00:31:48.120 And you're not supposed to file joint taxes if you're not legally married.
00:31:51.120 But at the same time, Omar was legally married to Elmi.
00:31:55.300 So if she's going to file joint taxes with anybody, it should be with Elmi.
00:32:00.120 Elmi, you think, might be a little upset that his wife is filing joint taxes with another man,
00:32:04.740 ostensibly her ex-husband and her future husband, her ex-ex-husband.
00:32:09.520 Then it gets even worse somehow.
00:32:11.720 Now, under penalty of perjury during divorce proceedings, Ilhan Omar said that she had not contacted
00:32:18.400 or known the whereabouts of Elmi since the summer of 2011 because the courts are looking for Elmi.
00:32:24.060 They said, wait a second, something doesn't sit right here.
00:32:26.620 We've got to make sure that this divorce is legitimate, that these, this marriage was legitimate in the first place,
00:32:32.560 that it wasn't just a sham because these sort of sham marriages happen all the time to game the immigration system.
00:32:37.100 So she says she hadn't seen Elmi, she didn't know his whereabouts since 2011.
00:32:43.380 But photos on social media show, they did see each other.
00:32:47.620 He saw, now, Ilhan Omar's daughters are all by the other guy, the real husband, not the brother.
00:32:54.020 Photos on social media show, he was around, he saw this guy, Elmi, was around, saw the kids, saw Ilhan Omar
00:33:01.100 well after the time that she says was the last time she saw him.
00:33:07.100 She lied. We know she lied. It has been proven that she lied about very important questions.
00:33:13.940 She lied about criminal activity that she did. She at least filed taxes incorrectly.
00:33:20.260 Now, this new report that's come out could not determine conclusively whether or not Elmi was Omar's brother.
00:33:27.320 Why do they even think that this guy, Elmi, was Omar's brother?
00:33:29.720 Because there are lots of ties, there are a lot of weird connections between the two, similarities and names.
00:33:34.420 And also, after Omar allegedly disappeared, he turns up working for and with Omar's sister,
00:33:42.700 which would also be his sister if they're brother and sister, which I think they probably are.
00:33:49.280 So, and you would think at least, if Ilhan Omar is looking for her long-lost ex-husband,
00:33:54.540 and the guy's working with her sister, you'd think the sister might tell her, right?
00:33:58.860 Don't you think that's something that would come up at family dinners? Probably.
00:34:02.600 The whole thing stinks to high heaven. It's beyond stinking to high heaven.
00:34:05.580 We know that she's committed crimes.
00:34:07.500 She almost certainly committed immigration fraud.
00:34:12.100 Is the mainstream media going to look into this?
00:34:14.180 Because they're trying their best to deflect.
00:34:15.880 They're trying their best not to follow up on this information,
00:34:19.060 which conservatives have been pushing for a long time now.
00:34:21.200 What you are going to see in the reaction to this is that any attack on Ilhan Omar is motivated by bigotry.
00:34:28.040 It's motivated because we don't like Muslims.
00:34:29.740 We don't like immigrants. We don't like foreigners.
00:34:33.460 They're going to say, focus on her policies.
00:34:35.600 Well, okay, we focus on her policies.
00:34:37.380 And then they say that we're, they accuse us of the same things.
00:34:40.480 When we say that it's wrong of her to pray that Allah wakens people up to the evil doings of Israel,
00:34:45.840 that's, that's policy.
00:34:47.260 We're saying your policy toward Israel is really weird and obviously brings up a lot of questions about your motivations.
00:34:55.320 And they say, that's Islamophobia.
00:34:56.900 So, okay, we won't talk about your policy.
00:34:58.400 We'll talk about your personal life.
00:34:59.640 You clearly committed tax fraud and immigration fraud.
00:35:02.320 They say, stop talking about that.
00:35:03.560 Talk about the policy.
00:35:04.520 You're not allowed to attack Ilhan Omar for any reason.
00:35:08.340 This chick is bad news for the Democratic Party.
00:35:11.980 And we're going to see in 2020 and maybe 2022 the referendums on these people.
00:35:17.320 Because these are the young guns of the Democrats.
00:35:19.500 These are the fresh new faces.
00:35:21.020 They get all the airtime.
00:35:22.220 Nancy Pelosi never gets airtime.
00:35:24.000 But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar get all of the airtime.
00:35:29.900 And she's causing, all of them are causing a lot of headaches for the Democratic Party.
00:35:36.060 If the Democrats primary them in 2020, if they throw them out, if they defund them,
00:35:40.260 if they redistrict them and get rid of their districts, then we will see that the Democratic
00:35:45.020 Party is serious about kicking out these radicals who are causing so much trouble.
00:35:50.420 If they can't, if they can't manage to primary kick out, redistrict these people, all of whom
00:35:57.440 are personally totally deficient candidates, who are totally compromised, some of whom have
00:36:03.660 committed crimes, if they can't do that, then we know for certain this is their party now.
00:36:09.060 This is Ilhan Omar's party.
00:36:11.180 This is Rashida Tlaib's party.
00:36:12.740 This is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's party.
00:36:15.800 That when the DNC chairman, Tom Perez, said that AOC is the future of the party, he was
00:36:19.880 right.
00:36:20.340 Pelosi's lost control.
00:36:21.680 Clinton's lost control.
00:36:23.080 All of these presidential candidates have lost control.
00:36:25.200 That is what it's going to tell us.
00:36:26.740 You almost could not possibly come up with a worse story for a member of Congress.
00:36:34.480 Congress committed all of these crimes, major crimes.
00:36:37.880 If we can't hold them accountable for this, we are in much worse shape than we thought
00:36:43.600 that we were.
00:36:45.080 Speaking of weird sexual relations, how's that for a segue from Ilhan Omar's brother to pedophilia?
00:36:52.320 There is now, it's actually a year old story, but it's just making the rounds now.
00:36:58.380 There is a TEDx talk going around that proves something that conservatives have been saying
00:37:03.960 for a long time.
00:37:04.660 We've said, as a result of the sexual revolution, as a result of normalizing all sorts of weird
00:37:08.960 sexual preferences, as a result of saying that you can't hold any view of sexual morality
00:37:14.620 that doesn't affirm everybody's desires.
00:37:17.580 Love is love.
00:37:18.800 Or, if it feels good, do it.
00:37:20.820 As a result of this, the logical conclusion is, we're going to normalize pedophilia.
00:37:26.300 People were born that way.
00:37:27.580 They can't change their sexual orientation.
00:37:29.640 We need patience.
00:37:30.420 We need to bring it under the umbrella of all the other sexual preferences.
00:37:34.120 We've been saying that, and the left has been calling us crazy.
00:37:36.680 Now TEDx is hosting a talk on this exact point.
00:37:39.860 Miriam Hain, a medical student from Germany, is presenting her controversial paper on the subject
00:37:45.440 of, quote, why our perception of pedophilia has to change.
00:37:49.100 Give it a listen.
00:37:49.600 According to current research, pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation, just like,
00:37:59.060 for example, heterosexuality.
00:38:02.300 No one chooses to be a pedophile.
00:38:05.740 No one can cease being one.
00:38:07.620 The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that living out this
00:38:14.720 sexual orientation will end in a disaster.
00:38:20.840 Right now, most of us feel discomfort when we think about this scenario.
00:38:26.140 And most of us feel discomfort when we think about pedophiles.
00:38:29.280 But just like pedophiles, we are not responsible for our feelings.
00:38:38.020 We do not choose them.
00:38:40.820 But we are responsible for our actions.
00:38:44.260 And we must make a decision.
00:38:46.920 It is in our responsibility to reflect and to overcome our negative feelings about pedophiles
00:38:55.220 and to treat them with the same respect we treat other people with.
00:39:00.900 We should accept that pedophiles are people who have not chosen their sexuality and who,
00:39:09.180 unlike most of us, will never be able to live it out freely if they want to lead an upright life.
00:39:17.020 We have to overcome our negative feelings toward pedophiles.
00:39:20.720 I will say, if I had to cast anybody in the world to present the argument for normalizing pedophilia,
00:39:29.300 I would normalize that woman who sounds exactly like a Bond villain.
00:39:33.720 That is why, Mr. Bond, we must accept the pedophilia and the abuse of children for the new world order, Mr. Bond.
00:39:44.060 There's a beautiful accent.
00:39:45.840 Thank you for having that, Miriam.
00:39:47.100 Her argument, if you begin with the premises that the cultural revolution, the sexual revolution that the left has embraced,
00:39:56.640 if you begin with those premises that we can't judge sexual orientation and sexual preferences,
00:40:04.460 that there is no normative good and normative bad when it comes to sexual preference,
00:40:08.500 if you begin with that premise, her argument is exactly correct.
00:40:16.800 Pedophiles, as far as we can tell, are born that way.
00:40:19.700 They don't choose to be attracted to children.
00:40:21.940 Who would choose to be attracted to children?
00:40:23.800 Nobody.
00:40:24.200 It's a horrible life, right?
00:40:25.320 It puts you at risk of committing a lot of crimes.
00:40:27.660 It socially isolates you.
00:40:29.440 It makes you, in almost all cases, incapable of sexual gratification or fulfillment.
00:40:35.480 If consent is the big issue, then why on earth would we judge pedophiles?
00:40:44.540 I mean, you even hear this consent language at the very end here.
00:40:47.140 She says, pedophiles will never be able to act on their sexual urges if they want to lead an upright life.
00:40:53.420 What if they don't want to lead an upright life?
00:40:54.900 Then they can act on it?
00:40:55.820 No, we have laws against that.
00:40:57.120 We must have laws against that.
00:40:58.740 This is sexual autonomy taken to its logical conclusion.
00:41:03.200 And it's funny that this is making the rounds again during Pride Month, which celebrates not just homosexuality, not bisexuality, not anything like that.
00:41:11.540 It celebrates all sorts of sexuality and asexuality and no sexuality and everything.
00:41:16.680 The premise being, you cannot judge somebody's sexual preferences as good or bad.
00:41:23.000 And that includes pedophiles.
00:41:24.600 The only alternative to this conclusion is, of course, you can judge sexual preferences.
00:41:31.540 Of course, it's the alternative to pride, which is shame.
00:41:34.700 Everybody has some weird sexual preferences.
00:41:37.140 And you can either say that those preferences are wrong in and of themselves, like pedophilia.
00:41:46.040 Or you can say no sexual preference can be right or wrong.
00:41:52.300 Because take child abuse out of it.
00:41:53.900 We're just talking about the preferences.
00:41:55.800 And I bet if you talk to a lot of leftists today and you said, hey, let's say there's a pedophile.
00:41:59.760 He's never abused a child.
00:42:01.260 He's never going to abuse a child.
00:42:03.260 But he is really attracted to children.
00:42:06.540 And he doesn't even download child pornography.
00:42:08.860 He just has an artist, just an artist, draw him child pornography.
00:42:13.100 So no children are even hurt in the production of it.
00:42:17.020 Should the pedophile be allowed to look at drawn images of children having sex or being sexually abused?
00:42:23.460 Let's say there are sex robots now.
00:42:25.200 Should the pedophile be allowed to have sex with a sex robot that looks like a child?
00:42:29.560 If he's never going to abuse an actual child.
00:42:32.660 And if you ask the left that question, their gut reaction would say, of course not.
00:42:38.100 Of course he shouldn't be allowed to do that.
00:42:39.440 But the logical end of their arguments, I think, would say, yeah, of course he should.
00:42:46.160 Doesn't hurt anybody.
00:42:47.360 He's indulging his own fantasies.
00:42:48.880 That's fine.
00:42:50.440 Are we going to indulge these sorts of preferences and these sorts of fantasies or not?
00:42:55.160 Are we allowed to have a more sophisticated discourse about sexual morality and say, well, this is bad.
00:43:00.460 Maybe this isn't so bad.
00:43:01.500 It's not great.
00:43:02.120 This is a little weird.
00:43:02.840 Maybe you shouldn't do that.
00:43:03.640 Are we allowed to have the discussions we've had about sexual morality for all of human history?
00:43:08.780 Or are we in a world in which you are called a bigot if you raise objections even to a pedophile orientation?
00:43:17.400 That's the question we're having.
00:43:18.800 And I think the culture is clearly moving in the direction of this Bond villain from Germany.
00:43:23.080 Before we go, I got to talk about Pete Buttigieg.
00:43:25.480 Pete Buttigieg is losing his luster.
00:43:28.060 He's facing Beto syndrome.
00:43:29.980 The media embraced him.
00:43:31.240 They loved him.
00:43:31.780 He was the next big thing.
00:43:32.620 Now reality is swinging back around.
00:43:34.560 He was at a town hall and his constituents in South Bend, Indiana, don't like that he's spending all his time running for president.
00:43:41.560 Sure.
00:43:41.800 You got to get out of South Carolina like you was yesterday.
00:43:45.020 Sure.
00:43:45.880 So.
00:43:46.160 Talk about all lives matter to South Carolina.
00:43:50.060 So let's, one last question for Mayor Pete and Chief Scott.
00:43:57.360 You hear that person yelling, are you going to go back to South Carolina like you were there yesterday?
00:44:01.280 And they said, one more question for Mayor Pete.
00:44:03.000 Mayor Pete doesn't have a word to say.
00:44:04.600 So he's getting hit for being on the road too much, not doing his job in South Bend.
00:44:08.100 He's also getting hit with Black Lives Matter accusations.
00:44:11.380 So there was a fatal police shooting last week of a man named Eric J. Logan, a 54-year-old black man.
00:44:17.760 He was killed by a cop.
00:44:19.120 The cop said he had a knife on him.
00:44:20.640 We don't know if he had a knife on him or not.
00:44:22.340 The reason it's suspect is the body camera was off and there were no witnesses to the cop shooting this guy.
00:44:27.680 Also, there are allegations already recorded of this guy's fellow cops saying that the cop had been making racist comments in the past.
00:44:37.520 So South Bend residents are angry about this, especially black residents.
00:44:42.180 And Mayor Pete doesn't know how to answer the anger.
00:44:44.500 Can you say to us today, in front of all these cameras, that black lives matter?
00:44:49.860 Did you just ask me if black lives matter?
00:44:51.700 Yes, yes, black lives matter.
00:44:53.920 Of course, black lives matter.
00:44:55.660 Then fire your car.
00:44:57.280 What about a black life?
00:45:03.140 What matters about a black life to you, Mayor Pete?
00:45:05.920 What matters about a black life to you?
00:45:08.800 Answer that or it's just nothing.
00:45:10.780 I do not have evidence that there has been discipline for racist behavior in the case of a warrior.
00:45:25.220 Brutal.
00:45:25.840 So, obviously, there's no evidence that Pete Buttigieg is some sort of racial bigot.
00:45:30.840 And obviously, this shooting is not Pete Buttigieg's fault.
00:45:34.340 The shooting is compounded by the fact that Buttigieg wasn't there on the job because he's running for president.
00:45:38.300 So that does hurt.
00:45:39.100 It also shows a weakness in his campaign.
00:45:41.680 He's not woke enough.
00:45:42.740 He thought that by playing up the gay card, he could get rid of all of his other issues, all of his other privileges.
00:45:48.780 He's a white Harvard grad, Rhodes Scholar, former analyst for an elite consulting firm, McKinsey, who looks like Alfred E. Newman.
00:45:55.460 This guy is the picture of privilege.
00:45:57.540 And he's pretending that because he's sexually attracted to men, this cancels that out and he's woke.
00:46:02.540 He isn't woke enough.
00:46:03.580 And I never thought he was woke enough.
00:46:05.740 And they've been asking this question about him on the left for a while.
00:46:07.880 This also shows an important rule in politics.
00:46:11.760 If you live by contrivance, you will die by contrivance.
00:46:15.600 Pete Buttigieg is a totally contrived candidate who is totally being propped up by the left-wing elite media.
00:46:22.920 Black Lives Matter, too, is not exactly a grassroots movement.
00:46:26.040 It has been propped up artificially by the media, by people who are major activists in the Democratic Party.
00:46:32.820 And one contrivance is about to take down another contrivance.
00:46:35.800 That is bad news for Pete Buttigieg and more bad news for Pete Buttigieg.
00:46:39.640 Elizabeth Warren is surging.
00:46:41.880 Lia Wath is coming out.
00:46:43.100 She's embracing her wokeness.
00:46:44.720 She's going all the way in.
00:46:45.860 She's gunning to win that progressive vote, which led to the most ridiculous line that I have heard in politics in at least three or four days.
00:46:53.980 I don't know if you could hear that.
00:47:19.920 She said, what better place to spend my birthday than right here at Planned Parenthood?
00:47:27.600 Which is, it's pretty dark.
00:47:29.760 I don't want to laugh at it.
00:47:31.560 What better place to spend your birthday than at Planned Parenthood?
00:47:34.440 Any other place.
00:47:36.580 Planned Parenthood is the worst place on planet Earth to spend your birthday.
00:47:41.100 The entire purpose of Planned Parenthood is to prevent birthdays.
00:47:45.660 But that's absurdity.
00:47:47.460 That's the absurdity of left-wing politics.
00:47:49.540 And Liz Warren looks like she is surging for the mantle of it.
00:47:52.720 Bad news for Buttigieg.
00:47:54.080 Good news for her.
00:47:55.480 The absurdity is only going to get worse as we look forward to the first Democratic presidential primary debate coming up in just a matter of days.
00:48:02.940 Can't wait for it.
00:48:03.580 In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles.
00:48:04.600 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:48:05.520 I'll see you tomorrow.
00:48:05.980 The Michael Knowles Show.
00:48:35.980 Hey guys, over on The Matt Wall Show, Representative Ilhan Omar is accused now of marrying her brother in order to skirt our immigration laws.
00:48:45.600 Very bizarre, weird situation.
00:48:47.960 But if it's true, she committed a serious crime.
00:48:51.500 Is it true though?
00:48:52.320 Well, we'll take a look at the evidence and you decide.
00:48:55.280 Also, speaking of looking at evidence, President Trump is accused again of sexual assault.
00:49:01.660 There are a lot of things about this latest accusation that give me pause, cause me to be skeptical.
00:49:06.480 But we'll look at the specifics there, look at the evidence or lack thereof today on The Matt Wall Show.
