The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 456 - Animals Aren’t People

00:00:00.000 President Trump gives Conan the terrorist chomping canine killing machine a plaque and a medal at the White House on the same day that he signs sweeping federal animal cruelty legislation.

00:00:13.560 And while Conan is the goodest boy in the country, the law is very bad.

00:00:18.020 We will examine our broken moral compass.

00:00:20.080 Then, speaking of controversial opinions, an American professor receives international scorn for offering an unpopular opinion on Indian cuisine.

00:00:30.000 And the whole absurd episode actually has a lot to teach us about gratitude two days before Thanksgiving.

00:00:35.780 A news outlet prints news that looks bad for Republicans only to delete the story when it turns out the news is bad for Democrats.

00:00:44.060 And finally, the campaign manager for the latest 2020 Democratic presidential entrant says Trump is headed for victory in 2020.

00:00:53.160 All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:00.000 I got a spicy take. I have a very spicy, controversial opinion.

00:01:07.820 You think that Indian food is spicy? You think that the Indian food guy has a controversial opinion?

00:01:13.700 I have a more controversial opinion and it has to do with animals, but I'm right.

00:01:19.440 Yesterday was animal day at the White House.

00:01:22.760 They invited Conan, the terrorist killing dog. That was great. That was the great part of the day.

00:01:27.820 And then President Trump signed this new sweeping federal legislation.

00:01:32.540 That was the not so great part of the day.

00:01:35.820 Let's start with the great part. Let's start with Conan, the dog.

00:01:40.460 President Trump walks out. He's in the Rose Garden.

00:01:43.120 He's got that little Abu Bakr chomping machine next to him. 1.00

00:01:46.760 And he talks about what a great dog he is and how he won a medal, which, by the way, I sort of feel we memed into existence when we posted that that Internet meme and that image of Conan getting the the medal of pawn or around his neck.

00:02:02.540 Now we are in reality because I don't know.

00:02:06.160 I guess we're living in the matrix or something.

00:02:07.540 We're just causing things to flow in and out of consciousness and reality.

00:02:12.040 President Trump in the Rose Garden gives Conan his due.

00:02:15.480 Good morning.

00:02:17.640 So this is Conan.

00:02:19.560 Right now, probably the world's most famous dog.

00:02:22.360 I don't think I have to use the word probably.

00:02:25.400 And Conan is a incredible.

00:02:28.380 It's an incredible story.

00:02:29.480 I learned a lot about this particular type of dog.

00:02:32.560 And it's it's trained that if you open your mouths, you will be attacked.

00:02:37.380 You want to be very, very careful.

00:02:38.920 But Conan came over from the Middle East, just arrived with some of the great people from the special forces that did the incredible floor.

00:02:50.080 It was a flawless attack.

00:02:52.480 And al-Baghdadi is gone.

00:02:54.860 But that was a flawless attack.

00:02:56.360 And I just met quite a few of them.

00:02:57.740 And we just gave Conan a medal and a plaque.

00:03:03.320 And it's really and I actually think Conan knew exactly what was going on.

00:03:08.540 But a dog that is very, very special.

00:03:12.140 All right.

00:03:12.800 I love this whole little ceremony.

00:03:14.520 I love the dog because every image, every video of the dog, he just looks so happy.

00:03:19.800 He's smiling.

00:03:20.780 He's got his tongue hanging out. 0.97

00:03:22.060 And I love the idea that he's there just thinking, oh, oh, boy, I can't wait to eat another terrorist. 0.96

00:03:27.820 Oh, boy.

00:03:28.900 So he's just it's a perfect image.

00:03:30.740 He looks great. 0.98

00:03:31.540 You got Mike Pence just leaning down, scratching him like he's a little poodle, even though he's obviously this just lean, mean, killing machine. 0.66

00:03:38.600 I also love the ceremony because it it treats animals in the way that animals should be treated.

00:03:45.580 You should love animals.

00:03:47.100 You should enjoy animals.

00:03:49.600 Pets are there for our enjoyment to be treated like a member of the family because the the pet is, you know, in a way, an extension of our humanity.

00:04:00.740 So really, look, are we really giving credit to this dog for killing the terrorists?

00:04:05.800 No, we're going to give credit to the special forces team that went in there and actually executed the operation.

00:04:11.060 But President Trump can't go out and honor these soldiers, you know, on their on their own.

00:04:16.280 I mean, frankly, if he if he gives away their identity, that would put them in great danger.

00:04:20.480 And it would appear that they're still working anyway.

00:04:22.840 It would appear that they're still over in the Middle East.

00:04:24.620 So instead, what he's doing is using the dog as a symbol of the whole team and saying we're going to honor this dog.

00:04:31.660 And really, we're honoring the whole team.

00:04:33.920 It actually ties in pretty well with what happened later in the day on the animal front, which is the animal cruelty legislation, except that, unfortunately, President Trump and even a lot of conservatives really are getting this this whole issue backwards.

00:04:48.180 And this animal cruelty legislation is actually a pretty bad law.

00:04:52.300 We'll get to that in a second.

00:04:53.180 But first, I got to thank our friends over at Ashford University.

00:04:57.420 A master's degree can make a big difference in anybody's career.

00:05:02.100 OK, it means better jobs.

00:05:04.120 It means more advancement.

00:05:05.580 A master's degree can help you be a whole new you.

00:05:10.300 And now is the best time to make it happen with help from Ashford University.

00:05:14.520 We talk all the time on this show about how the kind of stale old university system is decaying all around us.

00:05:21.420 And there are some incredible, innovative partners that we have out there, like Ashford University, who are really mixing up and making it work for you.

00:06:35.940 To start your master's degree today, ashford.edu slash Knowles.

00:06:40.440 So when you look at, at Conan, when you look at Conan, the, this barbarian animal that eats the terrorists, part of the reason we love him is because we've kind of brought him in, right?

00:06:57.060 We've brought him in, not just into the special forces team, but into the consciousness of the country.

00:07:01.220 We, we like that he's part of the team and he really did do a job out there in the team.

00:07:05.740 It reminds me of what C.S. Lewis said about animal cruelty laws and animal cruelty, uh, just as a, as a topic and a mode of behavior.

00:07:16.620 He, animal cruelty is terrible.

00:07:18.320 It's an awful, awful thing, but it's awful because it deadens our humanity because it makes us cruel.

00:07:26.740 It's, it's awful because of what it does to human beings.

00:07:30.320 You can't sin against an animal or against a tree or against an inanimate object.

00:07:36.180 You can't commit a sin against them.

00:07:38.220 Human beings are the moral creatures on this earth.

00:07:42.220 There is a very modern idea that animal cruelty is wrong because animals have some kind of rights.

00:07:49.040 Now, ironically, people say that animals have human rights.

00:07:52.620 Animals cannot have human rights because they're not humans.

00:07:54.860 There's a gorilla or there's some kind of monkey that is living in Florida that is considered a non-human person.

00:08:02.820 But the monkey can't be a person because the monkey is not a human.

00:08:07.080 Nothing about that would ever excuse animal cruelty, but it shows you where your moral compass has to be guided toward.

00:08:13.960 Human beings are the moral agents on earth.

00:08:17.660 We shouldn't be cruel to animals because it, it deadens our humanity.

00:08:21.020 We should be caring and loving to animals because it expands our humanity.

00:08:27.500 A lot of people miss this.

00:08:29.100 Unfortunately, it would appear, including President Trump.

00:08:31.660 So later on in the day, he signed a federal law, a brand new federal law, banning animal cruelty.

00:08:39.800 So it's taking animal cruelty from the state level all the way up to the federal level.

00:08:44.180 He couldn't be happier and so many conservatives are cheering him on.

00:08:47.360 Thank you all for being here today.

00:08:48.940 I'm pleased to sign the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act into law.

00:08:55.880 Animal cruelty.

00:08:57.020 This is something that should have happened a long time ago and it didn't, but the people behind me and others have been incredible.

00:09:04.820 And I just want to congratulate you.

00:09:06.820 And I ask the same question I asked for another bill that we just sent.

00:09:11.940 Why hasn't this happened a long time ago?

00:09:15.200 And I give you the same answer because Trump wasn't president.

00:09:20.180 This common sense legislation restricts the creation and distribution of videos or images of animal torture.

00:09:27.020 It is important that we combat these heinous and sadistic acts of cruelty, which are totally unacceptable in a civilized society.

00:09:35.480 We're pleased to be joined by some of the very important people that got this done.

00:09:42.000 And they worked very, very hard on it.

00:09:44.720 Okay, what's the law do?

00:09:45.880 President Trump just told you.

00:09:47.120 It makes a federal crime out of certain animal torture.

00:09:53.700 And what it builds upon is a law from the Obama administration that specifically looked at these really sadistic videos that were going around the internet.

00:10:01.400 I guess they pertain to different sexual fetishes where people would step on animals and crush the animals.

00:10:08.400 And so this became illegal.

00:10:10.820 And actually it was a case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court.

00:10:13.520 And now this law is expanding that and making more forms of animal cruelty illegal at the federal level.

00:10:19.660 It would appear that Laura Trump, who is President Trump's daughter-in-law, has been really pushing this.

00:10:25.060 Laura Trump came out with a number of statements about this law.

00:10:28.560 She said,

00:10:29.220 Our companion pets are family members and our working dogs are our heroes.

00:10:33.520 Heroes, there's a Democratic representative from Florida who is a co-sponsor of this law.

00:10:38.900 He said that the torture of innocent animals is abhorrent, of course, and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

00:10:44.580 Sure, signing this bill into law is a significant milestone for pet owners and animal lovers across this country.

00:10:50.000 Okay, yes, animal cruelty is very bad.

00:10:52.100 It should be illegal.

00:10:53.020 People who do it should be punished. 1.00

00:10:54.520 Nevertheless, this is an extremely stupid idea. 1.00

00:10:58.640 This is an extremely stupid law. 1.00

00:11:00.180 Now, the whole episode reveals two distressing facts. 1.00

00:11:06.240 People don't know how our government works and people don't know how the moral order works.

00:11:13.240 So let's start with the government before we get to the actual human level of this, the actual moral, actually moral order level of this.

00:11:20.600 At the government level, why should animal cruelty be a federal offense?

00:11:25.960 Why?

00:11:27.500 Well, because it's really serious.

00:11:29.560 That would appear to be what everyone who's sponsoring this bill says.

00:11:33.640 Animal cruelty is so abhorrent.

00:11:35.320 It's so bad that it needs to be punished at the highest possible level.

00:11:38.680 And in people's minds, what this means is it needs to be punished at the federal level, for the federal government.

00:11:42.980 They don't understand that we have a federal system, meaning the federal government, the states, local government, municipalities.

00:11:50.720 To put this in perspective, most murders are tried and punished at the state level, murders of human beings.

00:12:01.420 So you're telling me that I can murder a human being in cold blood.

00:12:09.240 That can be handled by the state.

00:12:11.820 The state is sufficient to deal with that.

00:12:14.680 But if I abuse an animal, if I abuse a little puppy or something, that has to be a federal offense.

00:12:20.420 The state can't possibly handle that.

00:12:21.900 They can only handle it when you murder human beings.

00:12:24.860 But when you abuse a little puppy, that has to be handled by the federal government because that is so much more serious.

00:12:30.360 Now, when you put it in those terms, nobody would agree with that.

00:12:33.220 Nobody would think that you should make a federal offense out of animal cruelty but let murders be handled at the state level.

00:12:39.480 If really the difference here is about the severity of the crime.

00:12:43.300 But it's not.

00:12:44.500 The question that I have to ask of the people who think that this is so important, it must be handled at the federal level,

00:12:50.420 is what makes you think that the federal government is more capable of handling this than the state government?

00:12:56.680 What makes you think that a more distant government that's less accountable to you is going to be better at handling these matters than the more local government?

00:13:06.100 I do believe that most people in America now think that way.

00:13:10.520 Most people think that, yes, federal government, bigger, better.

00:13:13.680 That's where we've got to put the important issues.

00:13:16.800 That's certainly not how the founders of our country thought.

00:13:19.220 That is certainly not the idea that has allowed our country to develop for the past 200 years, 250 years at this point.

00:13:27.820 We've always thought that more local government is better able, better equipped to deal with most problems.

00:13:35.800 And you reserve only a handful of offenses for the federal government.

00:13:40.140 Well, so much for that.

00:13:41.500 So much for that constitutional order.

00:13:43.220 But then think about it simply as a question of the moral law.

00:13:49.100 How is it in this country that if you kill a baby at virtually any stage of development, virtually anywhere, you get off scot-free?

00:14:00.900 It's your right to do that.

00:14:03.740 The left in this country will applaud you for exercising your rights. 1.00

00:14:08.000 Kill a human being, a human baby. 1.00

00:14:10.260 Get off scot-free. 1.00

00:14:11.980 If you murder another person, you murder your neighbor, that's a state crime.

00:14:18.760 But you abuse an animal, anything from a kitten to a puppy to a goldfish, that's a federal offense.

00:14:28.020 That's abhorrent.

00:14:29.260 Not even saying you kill it.

00:14:30.200 You just abuse it.

00:14:31.300 That is the worst thing you could possibly do.

00:14:34.760 It seems to me we've lost track of our priorities.

00:14:38.820 We need to get our priorities in better order.

00:14:42.260 I see it all around L.A.

00:14:46.980 The way that puppies are treated is better than the way that humans are treated.

00:14:53.300 People in L.A. are absolutely cruel to one another.

00:14:56.500 This is a really tough town, okay?

00:14:58.540 But it's true of other towns, too.

00:14:59.940 It's true in Washington, D.C., for example.

00:15:02.280 But you see the way that people treat one another.

00:15:04.900 And they use one another.

00:15:06.480 They throw people away like it's nothing.

00:15:08.840 And yet they put their little miniature poodle in a baby stroller and bring them into every single restaurant and order them foie gras half the time.

00:15:18.280 That is an inversion of the natural order and certainly of the moral order.

00:15:24.000 Do you remember, this was a year or two ago at Coachella.

00:15:27.000 A video went around of a woman in a Jeep.

00:15:30.680 She gets out of her Jeep.

00:15:32.120 She's got a bag. 1.00

00:15:33.320 And she walks up to a trash bin. 0.78

00:15:35.300 And she throws out this bag.

00:15:37.180 And what people found out, it's pretty disturbing, found out that there were puppies, living puppies in the bag.

00:15:43.800 And she just threw out the puppies. 1.00

00:15:45.780 Right?

00:15:46.020 Absolutely. 1.00

00:15:46.440 Obviously a sociopath, crazy, awful woman. 1.00

00:15:49.540 And when this became a public matter, it went totally viral. 0.99

00:15:55.280 And people wanted to adopt the little puppies.

00:15:57.240 How could you ever do this?

00:15:58.140 What kind of cruel monster would ever tolerate a woman throwing out a bag of puppies? 1.00

00:16:02.060 Meanwhile, just a few years ago, Kermit Gosnell, the worst mass killer in American history, an abortionist who was operating with the blessing, I use that word ironically, the blessing of the left in Philadelphia nationally. 0.62

00:16:18.100 Kermit Gosnell had bags of babies all over his apartment, all over his house.

00:16:22.360 And nothing, no outrage.

00:16:25.680 The media doesn't cover it.

00:16:27.600 Nobody wants to hear about it.

00:16:29.160 Nobody wants to adopt those babies. 0.91

00:16:30.820 They want to enshrine it as a right.

00:16:32.240 The left right now is praying to whatever God they have.

00:16:35.720 I guess Moloch or Baal or Baphomet or something.

00:16:37.840 They're praying that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an 86-year-old jurist, doesn't die before Trump is out of office.

00:16:43.480 Because they need, they're so desperate to preserve the right to murder a million babies a year. 1.00

00:16:48.860 So we weep over bags of puppies.

00:16:50.780 We weep over animal cruelty.

00:16:54.440 And we are completely dead to the suffering of human beings.

00:16:58.620 This is absolutely backwards.

00:17:01.460 And I think people are trying to separate this as a dichotomy.

00:17:06.280 Like you can only be kind to animals or you can only be kind to humans.

00:17:09.960 But the way it actually works is if you get the natural order right, if you get the moral order right,

00:17:15.720 if you look with charity on your fellow man, if you treat your neighbor as yourself,

00:17:20.760 you will be kind to animals and everything else.

00:17:24.740 You'll be a good steward of your environment.

00:17:26.400 You will, you'll get things in order.

00:17:29.100 But if you disregard your fellow humans and you, you only love sentimental saccharine things like

00:17:36.580 little animals or something, you will not be kind to human beings because you're perverting, 0.80

00:17:42.080 you're inverting that natural order.

00:17:44.940 That is not the, the recipe for a good society.

00:17:49.900 All right.

00:17:50.540 Right now, what, what so much of this animal legislation is about is just about saccharine,

00:17:55.400 soft soap, sweet feelings, right?

00:17:57.780 It's just about emotion.

00:17:58.940 We love the little puppy.

00:17:59.880 The little puppy looks cute.

00:18:01.560 Little puppy looks like baby Yoda.

00:18:03.120 Okay.

00:18:03.400 And you, so you want to just do whatever you can for the little puppy.

00:18:05.880 Self-government doesn't operate very well when it's purely on emotion.

00:18:11.680 We need to have some logic.

00:18:12.980 We need to have some objective reality.

00:18:16.340 And, and the way to do that is to care about your fellow humans, to get your priorities in order.

00:18:20.680 Mother Teresa gave a speech at the UN in 1994 on abortion.

00:18:24.260 She said, abortion is the greatest cause of evil in the world.

00:18:26.720 Because if a mother can kill her own baby, then there is nothing that we won't do to one another. 0.64

00:18:31.980 There is no way to teach people not to be violent and to love one another.

00:18:34.960 And the way that the left wants to put a band-aid over this horrific act that they're sanctioning

00:18:39.540 is by saying, sure, we'll kill a million babies a year, but we really like this puppy.

00:18:44.160 So we're going to pass a law about this puppy. 1.00

00:18:46.340 No, dumb. 1.00

00:18:47.440 Forget about that. 1.00

00:18:48.340 Get your moral order in perspective before you can move on to those sorts of things.

00:18:53.500 Here's another spicy take on a completely separate issue.

00:18:57.040 And the pun is very much intended. 0.91

00:18:58.720 This is one of these stories that seems incredibly dumb, but it's actually telling us a lot about 0.96

00:19:06.220 our culture. 0.95

00:19:06.880 This is a story that was going around the internet yesterday.

00:19:09.840 An American professor was asked to tweet out a controversial food opinion.

00:19:16.420 This was a hashtag, a trend going around.

00:19:18.980 Tweet out your controversial food opinion.

00:19:20.780 So this American professor, Tom Nichols, professor at the U.S. Naval War College and the Harvard

00:19:25.380 Extension School, tweeted out, quote, Indian food is terrible and we pretend it isn't.

00:19:34.320 I actually like Indian food.

00:19:35.680 I disagree with him on this opinion.

00:19:37.160 But hey, look, he knew that this is a controversial opinion.

00:19:40.300 That's why he responded to the controversial opinion tweet, right?

00:19:43.200 So he says, Indian food is terrible and we pretend that it isn't.

00:19:46.320 All hell broke loose.

00:19:49.880 Not only did he get ratioed, 16,000 replies to 2,000 retweets, this became an international

00:19:55.840 incident.

00:19:56.860 This got international media coverage.

00:19:58.760 The BBC posts, quote, Indian food is terrible tweet sparks hot debate about racism.

00:20:07.080 Racism?

00:20:08.100 Does that have anything to do with racism?

00:20:09.500 The Eater magazine says, quote, controversial food opinions prompt on Twitter motivated racist

00:20:16.100 comments.

00:20:17.760 It's racist if I don't like Indian food.

00:20:19.600 That's racist now.

00:20:21.160 What if I don't like Chinese food?

00:20:22.820 I love Chinese food, obviously.

00:20:23.980 But is that, that's racist if I don't like that?

00:20:26.660 Sonia Gupta, who is some person with a lot of Twitter followers, I can describe so many

00:20:32.920 people in the media today. 0.99

00:20:34.300 She tweeted out, quote, white people dunking on Indian food sucks, but white people fawning 1.00

00:20:42.680 over it sucks too. 1.00

00:20:44.560 It's the same feeling I had as a kid when white women would fawn over my mom's beautiful sorries 0.99

00:20:49.460 while also talking to her as if she was a child.

00:20:52.660 You like our trappings, but you don't like us.

00:20:55.560 Like my mentions are filling up with white people who were enthusiastic about my food.

00:20:59.960 Where is your enthusiasm for my humanity?

00:21:02.920 Just wondering.

00:21:05.720 This woman doesn't have enough problems. 1.00

00:21:08.480 This woman needs more problems. 1.00

00:21:10.360 I mean, I don't mean that flippantly.

00:21:11.960 I mean, she actually needs to have more problems if she wants to be able to develop as a human 1.00

00:21:16.860 being.

00:21:17.580 Suffering does help us.

00:21:18.660 It helps us to mature and deepens our view of society.

00:21:21.640 This woman needs problems. 1.00

00:21:23.700 Okay.

00:21:24.420 Because if she's upset about this, if she's upset that, that white people like Indian food,

00:21:29.940 she has lived simply too luxurious a life.

00:21:34.520 What does this tell us? 0.99

00:21:36.760 What this very surface level stupid story tells us about the culture, a few things. 0.99

00:21:41.960 It shows us some people want to be angry. 1.00

00:21:43.620 They just want to be angry.

00:21:46.700 They're begging to.

00:21:48.140 They go and look for a Twitter thread called controversial food opinions just so that they

00:21:55.780 can find something they disagree with just so they can be angry because some people want

00:21:59.880 to be aggrieved and some people really want to be offended and there's no arguing with

00:22:04.700 those people.

00:22:06.220 There's no, you might, maybe you've seen it.

00:22:07.780 If you've watched any of my campus lectures now in, in recent months, I'll go and I'll give

00:22:14.020 a speech that's like pretty innocuous.

00:22:16.080 And the students won't know what to protest in the speech.

00:22:19.260 So they will literally set a timer and then 10 or 11 minutes in, they will all stand up

00:22:25.080 and start screaming at me about what I have no idea.

00:22:30.700 They'll start screaming and I've asked them, I say, what are you offended about?

00:22:33.840 Let's talk about it.

00:22:35.560 They don't have anything to say.

00:22:37.340 They just want to be offended.

00:22:40.220 I don't know what it is.

00:22:41.300 If you think about some of the psychobabble, maybe they just really don't like their dads

00:22:44.980 or something.

00:22:46.400 If you think about it from a, uh, an academic perspective, I don't know.

00:22:51.880 Maybe they just haven't learned a lot.

00:22:55.360 Some people want to be offended.

00:22:57.200 Some people want to be aggrieved.

00:22:58.880 There is no arguing with those people.

00:23:01.980 Nothing is never, nothing is ever enough for them.

00:23:05.340 Here's another example.

00:23:06.100 Jeff Bezos just donated $98.5 million to help the homeless.

00:23:13.860 Almost $100 million to help the homeless.

00:23:16.240 There is no way to be upset about this, right?

00:23:19.300 Oh, you're wrong.

00:23:20.380 You're not living in 2019.

00:23:22.060 Jeremy Corbyn, who is the leftist leader in Britain, tweeted out, quote, that's 0.09%

00:23:29.500 of your net worth.

00:23:31.160 Jeff Bezos, just pay your taxes.

00:23:33.620 By the way, he does pay his taxes.

00:23:35.240 There was a few years ago, Amazon was reinvesting money in their business, so they didn't pay

00:23:40.540 a lot of taxes.

00:23:41.520 They pay a lot of taxes now.

00:23:44.220 Also, how much money has Jeremy Corbyn ever given to the homeless?

00:23:48.080 First of all, how much money has Jeremy Corbyn ever paid in taxes?

00:23:50.440 Not a lot, I bet.

00:23:51.380 How much money has he ever given to the homeless?

00:23:52.980 Less than $100 million?

00:23:54.220 Yeah, I would bet so.

00:23:56.500 Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself, buddy.

00:24:00.820 Ask yourself this question.

00:24:02.020 How much money did you give to charity this year?

00:24:06.160 Most likely, if you're listening to this show, you're not one of these people who scream

00:24:09.680 and yell at everyone else for things that they did or didn't do.

00:24:12.500 But if you are, if somehow someone on Twitter and the Twitter world is watching or listening

00:24:18.040 to this, how much money did you give to charity yourself?

00:24:24.160 Most people don't give a lot of money to charity.

00:24:26.060 Most people don't even think about it.

00:24:27.600 But the secret is you're not going to miss that money.

00:24:31.180 What this brings up from the Indian food story to Jeff Bezos, what this all brings up at a

00:24:38.000 deeper cultural level is that there are two ways of looking at the world.

00:24:41.600 Now, this is very important when you were two days away from Thanksgiving, two ways of

00:24:46.660 looking at the world, one from a position of entitlement, one from a position of gratitude.

00:24:52.800 If you are looking at the world from a position of entitlement, you are most likely going to

00:24:57.800 look at politics primarily as a matter of rights.

00:25:01.560 You're going to see every little slight that was ever done to you.

00:25:04.580 You're going to imagine, completely imagine new slights committed against you.

00:25:08.060 Like that Indian woman who says that she doesn't like that white people like Indian food. 0.94

00:25:12.500 You're going to judge others by their actions and you're going to judge yourself by your

00:25:17.200 intentions.

00:25:18.380 You are going to hoard rather than to give. 0.97

00:25:21.260 You are going to be miserable.

00:25:24.940 How about the flip side? 0.78

00:25:26.820 If you look at life primarily from an attitude of gratitude, you are going to look at politics

00:25:33.020 primarily as a matter of duty, not of rights.

00:25:35.320 Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

00:25:39.600 You are going to forgive slights against you.

00:25:41.820 You might not even notice half of them.

00:25:43.460 You are not going to sit around imagining new slights.

00:25:46.120 You're going to be happy for the life that you have.

00:25:48.220 You are going to give people a break and you're going to be thankful that you don't get called

00:25:52.620 out on all of the terrible things that you do.

00:25:55.040 You are going to give freely.

00:25:56.440 You are going to be much happier because you are going to realize that you did not invent

00:26:01.020 your life.

00:26:01.620 You are not responsible for giving yourself your own life.

00:26:03.880 If life was a gift, you should be very happy to have it.

00:26:07.660 Something to think about as we move into Thanksgiving.

00:26:11.160 And I would recommend, at least for the Thanksgiving meal, turning off Twitter.

00:26:16.060 Turn it off.

00:26:16.620 You don't need during that moment to imagine all of the new grievances against you.

00:26:22.640 You don't need to sit there and try to figure out a way to be offended.

00:26:27.440 Obviously, I'm preaching to the choir here.

00:26:28.960 But when you're having Thanksgiving dinner with your leftist relatives, maybe you could

00:26:33.240 gently suggest that to them as well.

00:26:36.940 A big story coming out of the mainstream media. 0.99

00:26:39.200 It turns out they're liars. 0.82

00:26:40.160 I know you'll be shocked.

00:26:40.900 Plus, the newest presidential candidate in the race seems to have good news for President

00:26:47.040 Trump, as does the Supreme Court has good news for President Trump, too.

00:26:50.960 We'll get to all of that and more.

00:26:52.260 But first, I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.

00:26:55.680 Head on over to DailyWire.com.

00:26:58.740 DailyWire.com.

00:26:59.640 It's $10 a month, $100 for an annual membership.

00:27:02.600 What do you get?

00:27:03.740 You get me.

00:27:05.280 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:27:06.500 You get the Matt Walsh show.

00:27:07.820 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:27:08.860 You get Another Kingdom.

00:27:10.640 This is the third and final season of Another Kingdom.

00:27:12.820 I did a 45-minute interview yesterday with Drew answering subscriber questions about Another

00:27:19.520 Kingdom.

00:27:20.060 We love it.

00:27:20.740 I mean, it's been such a joy to work on that.

00:27:23.820 We always talk about how conservatives need to be in the culture.

00:27:26.020 Well, here we are.

00:27:26.940 Go give it a listen.

00:27:28.200 You get everything.

00:27:29.080 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:27:31.020 This is going to be very, very important when we get some new information about the 2020

00:27:37.740 presidential race, and we get some new information about impeachment.

00:27:42.440 Make sure to go get that Tumblr.

00:27:43.740 Go to DailyWire.com.

00:27:44.660 We'll be back with a lot more.

00:27:46.460 All right.

00:27:59.460 There was a story that came out from AFP, from the news outlet, AFP News Agency.

00:28:07.000 This came out about a week ago.

00:28:08.740 First tweet, hashtag breaking, breaking news, more than 100,000 children in migration-related

00:28:19.720 U.S. detention, according to the U.N., 100,000 children.

00:28:25.500 Now, that's bad.

00:28:26.160 No matter what you think about immigration, that's pretty bad. 1.00

00:28:29.000 Obviously, you want to deal with that.

00:28:30.300 How do you deal with that?

00:28:31.060 The left wants to deal with that by just getting rid of our borders and letting anybody into 1.00

00:28:35.520 the country who wants to come in, compromising our national security because we have no 1.00

00:28:39.580 idea who's in here, compromising our elections because you're just flooding the country with

00:28:44.040 foreign aliens who will then, presumably, if they have children, those children will get 0.99

00:28:49.680 birthright citizenship.

00:28:50.600 They'll be able to vote.

00:28:51.340 I mean, it creates so many social problems.

00:28:53.660 But still, conservatives are compassionate.

00:28:55.300 We say, yeah, 100,000 children.

00:28:56.360 We don't want that.

00:28:57.280 We want to cut off the flow of migrants to come into the United States. 1.00

00:29:00.440 Maybe we need to put some National Guard troops on the southern border with Mexico.

00:29:03.480 We need to renegotiate certain deals with Mexico so that they can cooperate with us better

00:29:08.440 on the immigration issue.

00:29:10.260 You know, it's a serious issue.

00:29:11.540 We should take it seriously.

00:29:13.860 Okay, fine.

00:29:15.260 That was the first tweet.

00:29:17.280 Second tweet.

00:29:19.400 AFP is withdrawing this story.

00:29:22.260 The author of the report has clarified that his figures do not represent the number of children

00:29:27.280 currently in migration-related U.S. detention, but the total number of children in migration-related

00:29:33.420 U.S. detention, in 2015.

00:29:37.780 We will delete the story.

00:29:41.320 They're not even hiding it anymore.

00:29:43.500 They're not even hiding it.

00:29:44.800 So what, what that, what that second tweet really says is, hold on, hold on.

00:29:49.080 We are withdrawing the story.

00:29:50.700 Why are you withdrawing the story?

00:29:51.700 Because it's not true?

00:29:52.820 Well, no, it, it was true, but it was true during the Obama administration.

00:29:57.800 And so, because it was true during the Obama administration, it makes the Democrats look

00:30:02.480 bad.

00:30:03.020 We will not only withdraw the story, we are deleting the story.

00:30:07.380 We will delete the story.

00:30:08.920 Why don't you leave the story up?

00:30:11.040 It's a pretty interesting story.

00:30:12.420 I was interested in the story when it looked bad for Republicans because it's an actual problem

00:30:16.740 that you got to deal with.

00:30:17.500 But the press won't let the story stand when it looks bad for Democrats.

00:30:21.960 That, that little incident, breaking news, oh wait, never mind, it looks bad for Democrats.

00:30:27.100 That tells you everything you need to know about the mainstream media.

00:30:30.900 They are not fair brokers in any way.

00:30:34.060 We, we know that.

00:30:35.080 We know that they slant stories for the left.

00:30:37.760 We know that they choose their coverage based on the left.

00:30:40.120 But it goes even deeper than that.

00:30:41.720 If they accidentally report on a story that looks bad for the left, they will, they will

00:30:47.440 apologize for that and they will go back and delete it.

00:30:50.980 You cannot trust a word they are saying.

00:30:55.100 What do we do here at the, at the Michael Knowles show and at the other Daily Wire shows?

00:30:59.940 We put out conservative commentary.

00:31:03.740 Okay, so we have a perspective, a political perspective.

00:31:06.640 We're honest about our perspective and we report on the news.

00:31:10.840 We interpret the news of the day through that conservative lens.

00:31:16.080 Even knowing that, even being honest about our perspective, we don't hide news that is

00:31:20.760 bad for conservatives.

00:31:21.860 I mean, I opened my show today with a story about why President Trump was wrong to sign

00:31:25.880 this law yesterday, just as an example.

00:31:29.440 But we do that all the time because we're not interested in just carrying water like a

00:31:33.740 bunch of hacks.

00:31:34.860 Okay, we're interested in the reality of our political situation and our cultural situation.

00:31:40.500 And we're interested in advancing a better culture and a better politics.

00:31:45.300 Okay, and you don't do that by ignoring reality.

00:31:48.980 And yet the so-called objective journalists of the left are doing precisely that.

00:31:54.100 They are not merely slanted, not merely biased.

00:31:59.400 They don't merely have a perspective.

00:32:01.080 They are propagandist, water-carrying hacks for the left who will actually go back and delete

00:32:08.820 their own work if it accidentally looks bad for their political puppet masters.

00:32:15.720 It is shocking, even for me.

00:32:19.720 And I spend a lot of time haranguing the media.

00:32:22.500 But that's pretty bad.

00:32:23.400 And I don't think it's going to work out for them.

00:32:25.860 This is the other thing.

00:32:26.820 If any members of the mainstream media are watching this, use this as an example.

00:32:32.460 If the media had played their cards a little closer to the chest, if they had been a little

00:32:37.660 more cautious about this, they would still have some credibility.

00:32:41.240 But they've been exposed repeatedly time and time again.

00:32:44.360 Look at the Epstein story.

00:32:47.080 George Stephanopoulos.

00:32:48.040 I was talking to Drew about this yesterday in our Another Kingdom conversation.

00:32:51.600 George Stephanopoulos is the war room communications director for Bill Clinton.

00:32:55.860 He covers up Bill Clinton's sex crimes.

00:32:58.700 He silences the women that Bill Clinton abused.

00:33:00.720 He then becomes the chief political correspondent for, or chief political anchor, rather, for ABC News.

00:33:07.120 ABC News has footage leaked of one of their anchors saying that the Jeffrey Epstein story

00:33:12.460 was killed at ABC.

00:33:14.360 What happens when that story leaks?

00:33:16.620 ABC News rushes to figure out what happened by silencing the whistleblower.

00:33:21.840 They don't try to, they're going out and trying to find the whistleblower.

00:33:24.480 They're not going out and trying to find the person who actually killed the Epstein story. 0.60

00:33:27.520 They are so unbelievably corrupt that now they don't have credibility.

00:33:31.740 I mean, in that Conan video where President Trump has the dog in the Rose Garden, he's joking. 0.95

00:33:37.720 And he says to the reporters, by the way, if you open your mouths, Conan is trained to attack you.

00:33:41.880 So watch out.

00:33:42.580 And everyone laughs at this because we hate the press.

00:33:47.420 We hate them.

00:33:48.120 We hate that they lie to us night after night after night.

00:33:51.780 One of the constant applause lines that Trump gets at his very large rallies is when he says,

00:33:57.320 look back there.

00:33:57.860 Those are the fake news. 1.00

00:33:58.900 They're going to smear us because they're the scum of the earth. 1.00

00:34:00.840 And people cheer. 1.00

00:34:02.060 People applaud.

00:34:02.700 And it's not just conservative Republicans.

00:34:04.940 It's independents too who are fed up with the lies.

00:34:10.700 If they had just played it a little better, they would have credibility.

00:34:14.180 Now they have no credibility.

00:34:15.280 In fact, the opinion people on the left and the right, in my mind, have a lot more credibility

00:34:21.520 than the so-called objective mainstream media outlets.

00:34:24.120 It's Rachel Maddow and the Young Turks and whoever else, Vox.com, have a lot more credibility 0.96

00:34:30.500 because at least they're honest about their perspective.

00:34:33.740 I can know what it is going in.

00:34:35.960 And sometimes, not always, but sometimes they'll even report on stories that are not wonderful

00:34:43.160 for the left.

00:34:43.760 The same cannot be said, certainly of AFP News, certainly of ABC News, certainly of CNN and

00:34:50.200 all of those.

00:34:50.680 I mean, another example, Bloomberg, Bloomberg, major media company, not to be confused with

00:34:54.760 the former mayor of New York who's now running for president, even though they're the same

00:34:59.360 thing.

00:35:00.540 Bloomberg Media, because Mike Bloomberg is running for president, says that they are not going

00:35:05.320 to investigate Democrats.

00:35:07.800 The idea being that Mike Bloomberg is running in the Democratic presidential primary.

00:35:11.980 And so he's not going to use his organ to investigate his primary opponents.

00:35:19.140 But Bloomberg Media didn't have to put out that statement.

00:35:24.320 Bloomberg Media already doesn't investigate Democrats.

00:35:26.740 Bloomberg Media already carries water for Democrats and attacks Republicans.

00:35:32.060 There's nothing that's going to change.

00:35:34.880 And that's true not just of Bloomberg.

00:35:36.320 It's true of all of the other ones.

00:35:37.420 Also, by the way, if the whole idea here is that Mike Bloomberg is not going to use his news

00:35:40.840 organ to investigate his political opponents, why not also promise not to investigate Trump?

00:35:46.660 They're not going to do that because the media are done even pretending to be in any way objective.

00:35:52.100 Speaking of Mike Bloomberg, though, President Trump got some good news from him.

00:35:55.900 His campaign manager went on CNN to explain his candidates.

00:36:00.640 He explained the campaign strategy.

00:36:02.060 And he admitted that right now President Trump is winning.

00:36:07.360 Listen, it's obviously in the news today.

00:36:09.000 Yeah.

00:36:09.280 You know, your guest before this talked about president chaos.

00:36:12.220 And obviously Mike is going to comment on it.

00:36:14.880 Listen, Mike is getting in this race because he thinks that Donald Trump is an existential crisis.

00:36:18.980 And he thinks he's on a path to victory.

00:36:21.040 And he's getting in to alter that dynamic.

00:36:24.700 He is.

00:36:25.200 He is on a path to victory.

00:36:26.400 Obviously, Democrats think this, by the way.

00:36:28.200 That's why other candidates are looking, getting in the race, Deval Patrick.

00:36:32.300 That's why Tom Steyer got into the race, why Mike Bloomberg is getting into the race.

00:36:37.180 It's why Hillary is trying to get into the race because they don't feel comfortable with Joe Biden 1.00

00:36:41.780 or Pete Buttigieg or even Elizabeth Warren.

00:36:45.160 They just don't think that these are serious people.

00:36:47.800 They think that at this moment, Trump is on a path to victory.

00:36:51.020 And I think that they're right.

00:36:52.780 But if Mike Bloomberg is supposed to be the great savior of the Democratic Party,

00:36:56.360 unfortunately, he doesn't appear to think that himself.

00:36:59.960 Let's not forget, Mike Bloomberg is 77 years old.

00:37:02.420 He's nine months older than Joe Biden.

00:37:04.140 He can, like, make his way around a stage.

00:37:06.600 You know, he can get a coherent English sentence out of his mouth.

00:37:10.060 He, in his behavior, looks like he's about 20 years younger than Joe Biden.

00:37:14.380 But he's an older guy.

00:37:15.880 And he feels, as he admitted just this year, that he is too old to be the president.

00:37:22.700 I've assembled a team already to go.

00:37:24.660 But at some point, you've got to say, look, I would be 79 years old when I took office.

00:37:31.480 People say, well, Ronald Reagan was 80 when he left.

00:37:34.800 Yeah, when he was 80, they carried him out gaga.

00:37:39.040 You know, that really is very close.

00:37:41.420 I don't mean to exaggerate it, but that's very close to being true.

00:37:43.940 To start a four-year job, maybe an eight-year job at age 79, may not be the smartest thing to do.

00:37:50.300 But I think if I thought I could win, I would have.

00:37:54.700 All right.

00:37:55.360 To start this long job at age 79, probably the smartest thing to do.

00:37:59.520 If I thought I could win, I would run.

00:38:01.980 And he now apparently does think he has a good chance of winning, which is why he's running.

00:38:06.780 But he is old.

00:38:09.060 The one thing I do notice about all these clips of him,

00:38:11.260 he goes on later in that same interview to make fun of Beto O'Rourke as just a nobody.

00:38:16.480 Mike Bloomberg does, for all of his kind of billionaire sophistication,

00:38:21.060 he does have this edgy New York attitude.

00:38:24.320 Obviously, if you put that edgy New York billionaire up against Trump,

00:38:28.400 the edgiest New York billionaire, Trump is going to eat him alive on stage.

00:38:31.360 But Bloomberg does have a little bit of that New York attitude.

00:38:34.160 Bloomberg now is out there on the campaign trail.

00:38:36.080 He thinks he's going to at least have a good shot at the Democratic nomination,

00:38:40.040 even though it doesn't appear that he thinks he's necessarily going to beat the president.

00:38:44.080 He goes out and gives his first major campaign rallies.

00:38:47.160 See how excited you get listening to Mike for America.

00:38:51.340 Protecting women's and LGBTQ rights, supporting our veterans,

00:38:57.260 and reestablishing America's place in the world as a force for peace and stability.

00:39:02.160 But more than plans, I offer the leadership to turn plans into reality,

00:39:08.000 to roll up my sleeves, to motivate our country,

00:39:11.240 to unite and rebuild America, and make it fairer and better.

00:39:15.460 I'm ready to get to work, so let's get it on.

00:39:22.960 It's Mike Bloomberg finished talking.

00:39:25.220 So that I can finally, just two seconds of that very quiet, soft-spoken 77-year-old man,

00:39:32.860 and I'm just completely out.

00:39:34.220 Amazing to compare that to President Trump.

00:39:36.140 Does anybody really believe that Mike Bloomberg is going to get on stage

00:39:39.100 and quietly talk about the same platitudes that were sort of popular in the early 90s,

00:39:45.300 and that he's going to beat Donald Trump, who's the hippest guy in politics?

00:39:48.640 Not going to happen.

00:39:49.480 There's also a physical aspect here, which is that obviously men of a more diminutive stature

00:39:56.600 have been fairly successful throughout history, namely Napoleon, for instance.

00:40:00.680 But Mike Bloomberg is really short.

00:40:03.180 I've met Mike Bloomberg, I don't remember what the event was in New York,

00:40:05.920 and I was pretty astounded by how petite he is.

00:40:09.140 And I'm not exactly a basketball player, okay?

00:40:11.820 But if you look online, it says Mike Bloomberg's 5'8".

00:40:14.460 That is just a complete lie.

00:40:16.060 There is no chance the guy's 5'8".

00:40:17.740 I towered over this man when I met him,

00:40:20.720 and I'm not a particularly gigantic individual.

00:40:24.920 So it's just not believable that he is going to beat Trump.

00:40:30.720 And yet Democrats, and certainly his team,

00:40:33.140 think that the field is so insufficient right now that he might be the last best hope.

00:40:36.740 If he's the last best hope of the Democrats,

00:40:38.620 then I wouldn't hold their breath to take the White House in 2020.

00:40:43.780 More good news from President Trump from the Supreme Court.

00:40:48.200 The Democrats have been trying to get President Trump's financial records.

00:40:53.200 They've been trying to get the financial records to just add some icing to impeachment,

00:40:57.820 because after all these impeachment hearings, they haven't really gotten anything on him.

00:41:01.500 Most of the testimony just said,

00:41:03.260 yeah, Trump explicitly said he doesn't want to quid pro quo, he didn't do anything wrong.

00:41:06.920 No one can even explain exactly what the crime is that President Trump committed.

00:41:11.280 So it was really a flop for House Democrats.

00:41:14.700 Now they're trying to get the financial records to say,

00:41:16.560 well, you know, he underpaid his taxes, or he had some shady business deals,

00:41:20.760 so we've got to impeach him for that too.

00:41:23.460 The Supreme Court eventually heard about this question,

00:41:27.740 and the Supreme Court on Monday, yesterday,

00:41:30.440 delivered a major setback to the House Democrats who were trying to impeach Trump,

00:41:34.560 because they blocked a lower court decision

00:41:37.260 that was going to give them access immediately to President Trump's financial records.

00:41:41.780 The Supreme Court decided, they put out a one-paragraph order

00:41:44.800 that put a pause on that lower court ruling,

00:41:47.860 and it said that President Trump gets to keep his financial records for now.

00:41:52.200 Now they're going to have to keep arguing this before the court,

00:41:54.280 but that's a major win for President Trump.

00:41:57.820 Not to put too fine a point on it,

00:41:59.700 but it would seem that even in the House, among the House Democrats,

00:42:04.560 they're starting to crack a little bit on impeachment,

00:42:07.180 because the question is,

00:42:09.680 knowing what we know now about President Trump's popularity,

00:42:14.440 about President Trump's support, particularly among non-white voters,

00:42:18.380 yesterday there was an Emerson poll that backed up an NPR Marist poll

00:42:22.260 that showed President Trump had upwards of 34.5% support among black voters,

00:42:26.680 that is record-shattering in recent memory for a Republican president.

00:42:31.080 He had very high numbers among Hispanic voters, too, he was over 38%.

00:42:35.220 Knowing that the Democrats don't have anything in the impeachment probe,

00:42:40.380 knowing that they're not going to get the financials, at least anytime soon,

00:42:43.700 is it worth impeaching the president?

00:42:47.860 Some Democrats say no.

00:42:49.340 There's a Michigan Democratic representative, Brenda Lawrence,

00:42:52.140 who is suggesting maybe Democrats shouldn't impeach Trump.

00:42:56.540 Maybe they should choose a lesser measure, like censuring President Trump.

00:43:01.380 Outright condemning him for all the terrible things that nobody can quite point out that he did,

00:43:05.960 rather than impeaching.

00:43:07.960 Why?

00:43:08.300 Because it would seem that the momentum is with impeachment.

00:43:12.420 Pelosi didn't want to impeach Trump, but she was losing control of her caucus,

00:43:15.660 and so she had to finally go along with the more radical members.

00:43:17.900 If they impeach Trump, then it goes to a trial in the Senate.

00:43:24.420 If it goes to a trial in the Senate, the Republicans control that house, that chamber.

00:43:32.520 If it goes to a trial in the Senate, you're not going to see the key witnesses that the Democrats wanted to bring up.

00:43:39.020 By the way, the key witnesses that the Democrats wanted to bring up, like Bill Taylor, like George Kent,

00:43:45.740 like Sondland, Gordon Sondland, all of those guys in their testimony were pretty favorable toward Trump.

00:43:53.500 In some cases, extremely favorable toward Trump.

00:43:56.820 Those aren't the guys that the Republicans in the Senate are going to call if impeachment goes to trial.

00:44:01.780 The Republicans in the Senate are going to call people like, oh, I don't know, Hunter Biden to testify.

00:44:06.740 The Republicans in the Senate are going to call people like, oh, I don't know, Eric Charamella,

00:44:11.420 the alleged whistleblower, who had a lot of shady contacts with a lot of prominent Democrats,

00:44:16.020 like Joe Biden, like John Brennan, like Adam Schiff,

00:44:20.060 who was running the whole impeachment hoax in the House.

00:44:22.400 It's going to look really, really bad for Democrats if it goes to trial in the Senate.

00:44:27.280 President Trump said, please go to trial. I'm begging for it to go to trial.

00:44:30.660 Because in that case, he'll very likely be acquitted.

00:44:33.620 Even Democratic analysts are admitting this now.

00:44:37.620 And if he's acquitted, he could have a lot of momentum going into 2020.

00:44:42.900 All of that is pretty good news.

00:44:45.600 Some people say this is evidence of a broken political system.

00:44:49.020 Perhaps it is.

00:44:49.740 I mean, we talked about it at the top of the show today.

00:44:52.320 We have a broken political system now because we've lost sight of the moral order.

00:44:57.420 We've lost sight of, first of all, how our government works and how our government is structured.

00:45:01.600 But at a deeper level, we've lost sight of the moral foundations for politics.

00:45:06.720 That is bad news.

00:45:07.840 We are dealing with a political situation now that is pretty off-kilter.

00:45:13.280 However, we've got to play in the political realities that exist.

00:45:17.260 And as they exist right now, things are looking pretty good for conservatives.

00:45:21.500 Good news.

00:45:22.660 Something to be thankful for as we head into Thanksgiving.

00:45:24.940 We've got another show tomorrow, so don't go anywhere.

00:45:27.160 Don't get on your flights and get in your cars and go eat turkey yet.
