The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 619 - The Dems Who Cried Wolf

00:00:00.000 Hey, so what did you want to talk about?

00:00:01.900 Well, I want to tell you about Wagovi. 0.74

00:00:04.540 Wagovi?

00:00:05.320 Yeah, Wagovi. 0.96

00:00:06.520 What about it?

00:00:07.160 On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.

00:00:10.380 Oh, you're not?

00:00:11.180 No, just ask your doctor.

00:00:13.420 About Wagovi?

00:00:14.880 Yeah, ask for it by name.

00:00:16.520 Okay, so why did you bring me to this circus?

00:00:19.860 Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.

00:00:22.200 You know, with the chair and everything.

00:00:24.360 Ask your doctor for Wagovi by name. 0.70

00:00:26.540 Visit wagovi.ca for savings.

00:00:28.880 Exclusions may apply.

00:00:30.000 They've got him now.

00:00:32.460 They've got him now.

00:00:34.140 Trump may have come out clean on Russian collusion, Ukraine collusion, the Mueller probe, impeachment,

00:00:41.040 two scoops of Ice Cream Gate, and all the other scandals the Democrats have tried to gin up.

00:00:45.460 But they've got him now.

00:00:48.260 The New York Times has uncovered a bombshell, shocking bombshell story.

00:00:55.560 President Trump has a good accountant.

00:01:00.140 We'll break down the non-troversy. 1.00

00:01:01.660 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:02.300 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:03.140 Breaking New York Times.

00:01:12.560 Our accountants are not as good as Trump's accountants.

00:01:15.280 That's the story.

00:01:16.620 My favorite comment from yesterday from Travis Hammer, who says,

00:01:20.820 the left attacks Trump for not behaving like a Christian, and then they attack ACB for behaving like a Christian.

00:01:27.300 Yes, yes, you've caught on.

00:01:30.140 You see the game here.

00:01:31.440 There's nothing that any Republican can do that will not earn them criticism other than betray other Republicans, other than become a leftist.

00:01:41.500 It's not about the particular thing that the Republicans are doing.

00:01:47.260 For instance, Donald Trump is accused of colluding with Russia.

00:01:51.780 Then that doesn't work.

00:01:52.920 He's accused of colluding with Ukraine.

00:01:54.960 Ukraine is at war with Russia.

00:01:56.640 They are on opposite sides of a conflict.

00:01:59.580 Doesn't matter.

00:02:00.420 It's okay.

00:02:00.960 Well, that one didn't work.

00:02:01.700 We're going to try the other one.

00:02:02.640 Okay.

00:02:03.020 He's not Christian enough. 0.99

00:02:03.960 Is that, is that working?

00:02:04.780 No.

00:02:04.920 Okay.

00:02:05.040 Okay.

00:02:05.240 She's too Christian. 1.00

00:02:06.260 There's no, there's no objective standard here.

00:02:09.240 They're just trying to hit them and it's not working very well.

00:02:14.320 You, you can't, you can't beat Trump.

00:02:17.020 You know, Trump reminds me of a biblical character.

00:02:19.800 Some have compared him to, uh, to Cyrus.

00:02:23.260 Some have compared him to other Old Testament figures.

00:02:26.040 I always compare him to Samson because he derives his power from his hair.

00:02:29.780 And you can too.

00:03:50.720 I want to be one of those guys at the end of commercials on TV that just like speeds through

00:03:54.360 the disclaimer at the end of that.

00:03:55.580 That would be a great gig.

00:03:56.500 If Daily Wire doesn't work out, that's what I'm going to do.

00:03:59.420 That's the new Trump scandal.

00:04:01.020 This is a big one.

00:04:01.940 Look at how long this New York Times article is.

00:04:04.960 You can, for those of you listening, you can listen to the papers shuffle.

00:04:08.060 It's very, very long.

00:04:09.020 Long concealed records show Trump's chronic losses and years of tax avoidance.

00:04:15.580 The Times obtained Donald Trump's tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing

00:04:20.320 struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle, and hundreds of millions in debt

00:04:25.040 coming due.

00:04:26.720 Okay.

00:04:27.720 I'm looking through, I'm going through all the pages.

00:04:30.920 Gosh, man, there's so, it's so long.

00:04:33.160 Oh my gosh.

00:04:33.900 You know what word I can't find anywhere here?

00:04:37.860 Illegal.

00:04:39.520 Unlawful.

00:04:40.680 Breaking the law.

00:04:41.800 Can't find any of that here because the New York Times nowhere alleges that President

00:04:48.140 Trump broke the law or did anything wrong.

00:04:50.440 He avoided paying taxes.

00:04:52.860 Tax avoidance is different than tax evasion.

00:04:55.740 Tax evasion is illegal.

00:04:57.660 Tax avoidance is what everybody does when they try to deduct as much as possible.

00:05:01.920 As President Trump bragged about this very thing in 2016 when he said that paying the lowest

00:05:07.460 tax rate possible makes him smart.

00:05:10.460 And if he didn't do that, probably you wouldn't want him to be your president because he wouldn't

00:05:13.620 have very good financial sense.

00:05:15.180 He wouldn't have very good economic sense.

00:05:17.140 This actually gets back to that YouTube comment I mentioned at the top of the show.

00:05:20.160 They attack Trump for opposite reasons.

00:05:22.200 They attack Trump for enriching himself in office and violating the emoluments clause and basically

00:05:28.560 using the presidency as a way to line his pockets, right?

00:05:31.620 That's what they've been talking about for years.

00:05:32.860 Whether it's by selling extra rooms at his hotels or whether it's by taking bribes from

00:05:38.640 Russia like Hunter Biden, you know, the thing they were accusing him of that actually the

00:05:43.600 Democrats themselves were doing.

00:05:44.800 So that's what they attacked him for first.

00:05:46.660 Now they're saying, oh, actually he's broke.

00:05:49.600 Actually, he hasn't been making any money.

00:05:51.380 Actually, actually he's destitute.

00:05:53.480 And so when he was rich and making a lot of money, that was why he was corrupt and we

00:05:58.640 had to impeach him.

00:05:59.580 And now that he's broke and he's not making any money, that's why he's corrupt and we have

00:06:03.920 to impeach him.

00:06:05.200 Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

00:06:07.080 Of course, President Trump is not broke.

00:06:08.880 They've tried this on him for decades now.

00:06:11.640 It shows you the financial and business illiteracy of many members of the media and the political

00:06:18.240 class, which is they don't understand how this works.

00:06:21.040 So hypothetically, Trump is denying that this thing is real at all.

00:06:25.020 And we don't know.

00:06:25.640 I mean, obviously it was some corrupt person who gave the New York Times the tax records

00:06:28.720 in the first place because they're not supposed to have access to that.

00:06:31.260 But let's say, how could this theoretically work?

00:06:33.440 Why would Trump pay a very, very low tax rate in one year instead of another year?

00:06:37.500 Well, we already know from the Rachel Maddow show that he paid millions and millions of

00:06:41.720 dollars in taxes.

00:06:42.940 I think it was 15 years ago, he paid $38 million in taxes or something.

00:06:46.360 Remember, that was my doppelganger Rachel Maddow's big reveal on her show.

00:06:49.380 We have Trump's tax records from 05 and, oh, he paid a ton of money in taxes.

00:06:53.060 But so let's say he pays $38 million in taxes one year and then on all of his businesses

00:06:57.500 takes massive losses the next year.

00:07:00.560 Our tax code doesn't make you just pay year by year by year by year.

00:07:05.720 It allows you to write down some losses if you make them.

00:07:09.840 So you don't, you, so you don't have to pay money to the government on income that you

00:07:15.080 don't have.

00:07:16.280 Makes perfect sense.

00:07:17.840 Beyond that, there are a lot of people now talking about how President Trump is a business 1.00

00:07:22.420 idiot. 1.00

00:07:23.260 He's broke. 1.00

00:07:24.500 He's, you know, he's a total nincompoop.

00:07:27.860 Um, it is amazing to me how many people who have not spent the past two decades flying

00:07:36.220 around in their own private 757s all around the world are now accusing President Trump of

00:07:44.180 not having any business acumen.

00:07:45.420 It's amazing to me.

00:07:46.420 It's amazing to me how many people who haven't been regularly living the high life penthouses

00:07:53.360 in New York properties all over the world, dating supermodels are accusing President 0.97

00:07:57.480 Trump of not knowing how to handle his money.

00:07:59.700 The Biden campaign is now selling stickers that read, I paid more income taxes than Donald

00:08:04.540 Trump, which is not true.

00:08:07.060 None of the people wearing those stickers have in, in the course of their lives paid more income

00:08:10.720 taxes than Donald Trump.

00:08:11.900 Not one of them.

00:08:12.660 Uh, but even if it were true, just consider this from a branding perspective, a marketing

00:08:19.740 perspective. 0.99

00:08:20.180 If this gets to the political consequence of the stupid attack, it's not cool to pay 1.00

00:08:25.540 taxes. 1.00

00:08:27.200 Paying lots of taxes is not something people brag about.

00:08:31.240 They'll go, Hey, yeah.

00:08:32.140 Hey bro.

00:08:32.860 Yeah.

00:08:33.280 How much you paying taxes this year?

00:08:35.680 Oh, wow.

00:08:37.040 You, you only paid a 31% rate.

00:08:39.260 Yeah.

00:08:39.660 Okay, bro.

00:08:40.180 Whatever.

00:08:40.820 Yeah.

00:08:41.020 I mean, I'd paid a 38%, right?

00:08:42.700 But that's cool.

00:08:43.980 Yeah.

00:08:44.360 No, I paid, paid a lot of taxes.

00:08:45.840 I'm a real cool guy.

00:08:46.940 No, uh, that's not cool at all.

00:08:48.640 We want, we want to pay the lowest amount that is legal and that we can, we can pay that

00:08:53.720 way.

00:08:55.740 This tax issue will not change a single vote.

00:09:00.860 I actually, I was speaking to my grandmother yesterday and she was very nervous.

00:09:03.720 She goes, I've been watching, she watches the network news, you know, channel three or

00:09:07.200 whatever, channel four.

00:09:07.880 And everybody is, who watches that news and only watches that news would really believe

00:09:13.760 that this is a big scandal.

00:09:15.020 Said, Oh no, Trump, now maybe he's going to lose.

00:09:17.540 I said, the scandal, scandal is not going to do anything.

00:09:23.880 Nobody cares about Trump's taxes.

00:09:26.700 Nobody, not one single person cares about Trump's taxes.

00:09:32.040 There are many people who think that many other people care about Trump's taxes, but

00:09:36.660 nobody actually cares about it himself.

00:09:39.740 Do you care about Trump's taxes?

00:09:42.140 Does anyone, you know, care about Trump's taxes?

00:09:44.920 No, completely ginned up, but it's all they have to attack him on.

00:09:48.500 So they're going to try, not going to work.

00:09:50.720 Same thing with Amy Coney Barrett. 0.99

00:09:51.900 Amy Coney Barrett, this basically totally unobjectionable judicial nominee, straight

00:09:59.280 out of central casting, wonderful family, brilliant, great career, strong moral convictions.

00:10:06.040 The AP is going after her religion.

00:10:08.080 We said yesterday they weren't going to be able to resist going after Amy Coney Barrett's

00:10:12.460 religion and they're doing it. 0.76

00:10:14.540 This was the big tweet from the AP, breaking news, breaking news, scandal, controversy.

00:10:19.040 Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, has close ties to a charismatic

00:10:24.260 Christian group that holds that men are divinely ordained as the head of the family.

00:10:30.640 And by charismatic Christian group, I assume they mean the Catholic Church or, I don't know,

00:10:35.820 Christianity, generally speaking.

00:10:38.400 The idea that men and women have different roles and that these roles are reflected in

00:10:45.780 Christ and his church, within the church itself, and within the family.

00:10:50.440 That is not a new kind of weird, fringy idea.

00:10:53.520 That is a view held by all of Christianity.

00:10:58.160 That's it.

00:10:59.120 But beyond that, they're saying this shocking thing.

00:11:03.260 Amy Coney Barrett has a biblical view of marriage.

00:11:06.760 Ooh.

00:11:08.160 That's the big scandal.

00:11:09.360 You remember how Ilhan Omar married her brother?

00:11:14.840 Do you remember that?

00:11:15.540 You wouldn't remember that if you read the AP.

00:11:17.480 Ilhan Omar married her own brother.

00:11:20.960 Probably not for weird sex stuff. 0.94

00:11:22.800 I think actually just to commit immigration fraud.

00:11:24.960 But there is a lot of evidence.

00:11:27.140 I guess technically it's inconclusive.

00:11:29.200 But there is a lot of evidence that Ilhan Omar married her own brother.

00:11:34.140 Okay, the AP ignores that story.

00:11:38.600 Because, actually, as our commenter said at the top of the show,

00:11:41.040 it's not about any of these things in particular.

00:11:42.500 It's not even about how they are going after this one group of the Catholic Church

00:11:47.340 because they have a biblical view of marriage.

00:11:50.320 It's just about going after the person.

00:11:52.480 It's not that they care about Trump's taxes.

00:11:55.080 Nobody cares about Trump's taxes.

00:11:56.840 It's that they are just going after the person.

00:12:00.460 It's not that they care about Russian collusion.

00:12:01.820 The left has been colluding with Russia and America for over 100 years. 0.76

00:12:04.440 It's not that they care about Ukraine collusion.

00:12:06.260 Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were colluding with Ukraine.

00:12:09.800 It's just about going after the guy.

00:12:14.560 Actually, speaking of Ilhan Omar,

00:12:16.940 there is a real scandal brewing right now that the mainstream media don't want to cover.

00:12:20.320 We'll get into that in one second.

00:12:21.500 First, though, got to thank our friends over at ReadyWise.

00:13:55.320 scandal with Ilhan Omar.

00:13:57.440 Project Veritas, James O'Keefe strike again.

00:14:00.780 They now have on video some confirmation of what we have been warning about with regard

00:14:07.840 to widespread mail-in voting from the very beginning of this brazen Democratic attempt

00:14:14.640 to steal this election.

00:14:17.340 Project Veritas has on video an associate of Ilhan Omar, allegedly, bragging about having

00:14:25.360 hundreds of absentee ballots in his car.

00:14:29.220 Numbers don't lie.

00:14:30.300 Numbers don't lie.

00:14:31.240 You can see my car is full.

00:14:33.620 All these here are absentee ballots, can't you see?

00:14:37.380 Look at this.

00:14:38.240 My car is full.

00:14:40.460 My car is full.

00:14:42.840 All these ballots are for Jamal Osman, Democrat, I take it.

00:14:47.360 Just today, we got 300 ballots for Jamal Osman.

00:14:49.400 There was video.

00:14:50.200 You could see the video.

00:14:51.180 There was a video out and about that he has the ballots in his car.

00:14:55.400 Right.

00:14:55.740 And talking about the only way you can win is with money.

00:15:00.020 I was looking at them and they were not filled.

00:15:02.260 They were blank.

00:15:02.820 Who is the one filling out the absentee ballots?

00:15:06.160 Some people will work with, like, Ilhan Omar.

00:15:10.260 Where do they pay the money? 0.81

00:15:12.320 The minute we sign the thing, the election, that's when you get paid.

00:15:16.580 That's when they get paid.

00:15:18.260 This is called ballot harvesting.

00:15:20.380 This is something that I have been warning about on this show for well over a year and

00:15:23.880 probably two years at this point.

00:15:25.940 Ballot harvesting is when you go.

00:15:27.960 And you can actually do it in the old days when people would request absentee ballots.

00:15:32.380 So even before widespread mail-in voting, where instead of having to request it, the government

00:15:38.060 just mails the ballots to you.

00:15:39.300 It's much easier to do ballot harvesting, obviously, in that scenario.

00:15:42.460 But even when you had to request the absentee ballots, what would happen is unscrupulous political

00:15:46.660 actors would show up often to nursing homes and then take the absentee ballots.

00:15:51.780 Either they—usually they would be filled out by the senior citizens themselves, at least.

00:15:55.920 And then you'd take them and say, OK, you're Democrats, OK, we're going to take those ballots

00:16:00.100 and make sure they get to the polling places.

00:16:02.420 And, you know, maybe if the people harvesting the ballots don't like your political views,

00:16:07.460 OK, maybe, who knows if they make it to the polling places.

00:16:10.640 But we've been warning about this for a long time.

00:16:14.060 Now we've got on tape multiple people admitting to it.

00:16:18.220 Now, the reason you can't understand some of that language is this is particularly prevalent,

00:16:22.980 it would seem, in the Somali population in Minneapolis.

00:16:26.700 And they're tying this to Ilhan Omar.

00:16:28.640 So how do they do it?

00:16:29.780 Well, they do it in much the same way that all the other ballot harvesters do it.

00:16:33.740 They target older people.

00:16:35.520 So they, the ballot harvesters, request the ballots for the elderly.

00:16:41.160 Yes.

00:16:41.700 And it's taken away from the elderly.

00:16:43.200 Yes.

00:16:43.560 At the end of this street, there's three towers called one tower.

00:16:46.520 OK.

00:16:47.080 And it's all seniors.

00:16:48.400 And they took every ballot.

00:16:49.820 Every ballot.

00:16:50.560 They just take them from them.

00:16:51.460 Every single ballot.

00:16:52.140 Knock on the door and say, your ballots come, give it to me, give it to me.

00:16:54.960 They don't even pay them for it.

00:16:55.860 They just take them.

00:16:56.460 No.

00:16:57.020 And the ones that didn't vote on ballots, the young people and the women and stuff,

00:17:01.340 they were paying cash, cash, cash.

00:17:02.640 They were getting bags of money the last one week here to drive people.

00:17:07.920 So there's a vested interest, but we are victims of the system. 0.78

00:17:12.120 They don't give a s**t about any family.

00:17:15.120 Two in the morning, still hustling.

00:17:18.280 Who is the one filling out the attendee ballots?

00:17:21.220 People will work with, like Ilhan Omar and other candidates who work for them.

00:17:27.320 They came to us to our apartments.

00:17:29.320 They tell us that this year they're going to go for it.

00:17:31.500 But if you don't go nowhere, you stay home.

00:17:33.800 We will tell you fill out.

00:17:34.680 So you have to see ballot.

00:17:35.720 One chemist will come and get it. 0.92

00:17:37.220 You just go nowhere.

00:17:38.280 You stay here.

00:17:39.300 You just go nowhere.

00:17:40.620 You just stay here.

00:17:41.280 They just take the ballots from them.

00:17:42.480 And they pass out sacks of cash to the young people and the women who they can't just take 0.96

00:17:47.520 the ballots from like they do to the elderly.

00:17:49.500 We were talking about how this is particularly true in the Somali population.

00:17:55.100 It feels like we're living in a country like Somalia. 0.97

00:17:57.460 It feels like we're living in a country where we can't ensure free, fair elections is happening

00:18:02.500 with all the rigor that is traditional in our American system.

00:18:07.600 This is an actual scandal.

00:18:09.720 Of all the fake scandals that we've had to deal with over the past several years, the Russia 0.97

00:18:13.740 thing, the Ukraine thing, the stormy Daniels thing, the tax thing, the this thing, the

00:18:18.800 that thing.

00:18:20.440 This is in a league of its own.

00:18:23.540 One, because it's real.

00:18:24.640 But two, because it gets to the central issue, the integrity of our elections.

00:18:29.880 The left has prattled on about how because Russia buys a hundred grand in Facebook ads,

00:18:34.440 they've undermined the integrity of our elections.

00:18:36.320 How about these criminals who are going around buying blank ballots, bribing people to vote

00:18:42.560 for them and taking them from senior citizens?

00:18:46.220 What about that?

00:18:46.740 That seems like a crime.

00:18:47.740 It is a crime and the Minneapolis Police Department is looking into it.

00:18:50.520 So great stuff from James O'Keefe and Project Veritas.

00:18:53.760 Minneapolis PD say allegations of voter fraud are being evaluated.

00:18:56.800 The Minneapolis PD is aware of the allegations of vote harvesting.

00:18:59.500 We're in the process of looking into the validity of those statements.

00:19:02.000 No further information is available at this time on this.

00:19:05.380 Similar scandal brewing in New York City.

00:19:08.360 New York City voters are now receiving military mail-in ballots, even if they're civilians,

00:19:14.720 even if they shouldn't be getting those ballots.

00:19:16.720 Will those ballots be counted?

00:19:18.000 Are other people not receiving their ballots?

00:19:20.940 Several people in New York City, including two journalists for the Washington Post, have

00:19:26.120 received, quote, the official absentee military ballot.

00:19:30.240 Made them wonder if their vote is actually going to be counted.

00:19:32.960 Beyond Sunnyside, that was in one neighborhood in Sunnyside.

00:19:35.380 Non-service members also received ballots in Richmond Hill, Forest Hills, and Astoria.

00:19:43.000 How many of these do we need to hear before we put a kibosh on this widespread mail-in voting issue?

00:19:52.700 People are showing up.

00:19:53.880 They're going out in public.

00:19:54.960 If you're a conservative, you're going out in public just generally because you're not living your life cowering in fear in your basement

00:20:00.700 from the very scary coronavirus where you only have a 99% plus chance of surviving.

00:20:08.320 If you're a left-winger, if you're terrified about the coronavirus, if you don't want to show up,

00:20:15.340 look around at your fellow left-wingers who go to BLM rallies.

00:20:19.720 Look around at your fellow left-wingers who go to Antifa rallies.

00:20:23.240 Look around at, there are, to go to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's funeral, who go to George Floyd's funeral,

00:20:29.360 who go to all of these events where when it's politically convenient, the left says,

00:20:34.540 oh, people can gather in large groups.

00:20:35.720 It doesn't matter.

00:20:36.240 If you can do that, if you can go to George Floyd's funeral, if you can go to Ruth Ginsburg's funeral,

00:20:41.520 if you can go to a BLM rally, if you can go to an Antifa rally, if you can go to any of these things,

00:20:48.360 you can go vote in person.

00:20:50.820 And if you won't vote in person, outside of very narrow exceptions, military, infirm people who need absentee ballots,

00:21:01.360 outside of those exceptions, if you won't show up to vote, don't vote.

00:21:06.240 Don't vote. You don't want to vote. Fine. Don't vote.

00:21:09.620 But don't allow criminals and election stealers to go vote on your behalf.

00:21:16.740 Beyond that scandal, that's a pretty big one, but the second biggest one of 2020,

00:21:21.860 the Democratic candidate for president is barely conscious.

00:21:24.640 And we're going to see that on display tonight at the debate.

00:21:27.580 It's going to be the big debate, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

00:21:30.600 Joe Biden on MSNBC, very friendly TV station, just a few days ago,

00:21:34.500 he's chatting with the anchor there, and he's making a strong point about what a terrible job

00:21:39.340 Trump has done on a certain aspect of legislation, except he can't remember the name of the legislation.

00:21:44.860 And very sadly, the anchor has to just give him the answer at the end.

00:21:49.380 For example, the Paycheck Protection Act, you know, one percent of the money's gone out.

00:21:54.780 One percent. One percent of the, that's not the paycheck, the bill for small, for major, for small businesses.

00:22:05.080 Mainstream lending.

00:22:06.240 Mainstream lending. One percent's gone out.

00:22:08.160 Why isn't that lady running for president? 1.00

00:22:10.860 That lady obviously has a much clearer grasp on the policy issues than Joe Biden does. 1.00

00:22:16.620 He doesn't even, he's invading against this one law and then turns out, oh, wait a second,

00:22:21.920 he's actually thinking about the other law. 0.99

00:22:24.160 Very sad, very pathetic. 0.94

00:22:26.360 I know we don't want to set expectations too low for the debate tonight, 0.99

00:22:29.900 but the expectations are already set low.

00:22:31.440 Joe Biden set them.

00:22:33.220 So what's going to happen?

00:22:34.540 I still think there's a chance that they find some way to, to game the system tonight.

00:22:38.900 Donald Trump has called for Joe Biden to take a drug test before he goes out there on the stage tonight.

00:22:44.240 That's probably not a serious suggestion.

00:22:46.640 He just wants to set it in people's minds that Joe Biden is taking performance enhancing drugs,

00:22:50.560 which I wouldn't be surprised if he is.

00:22:52.580 And that's kind of Trump's MO is to, is just set these insinuations so people can see it,

00:22:57.640 even if he doesn't get the, the concession that he's looking for.

00:23:02.340 That is going to go on tonight.

00:23:04.820 I've got a big warning though, for president Trump beyond the setting expectations low.

00:23:09.360 I have a warning for president Trump that I haven't heard people give him before,

00:23:12.700 which we'll get to in one second.

00:23:14.420 But first, you know, before a big debate like that, you need a good night's sleep.

00:23:18.800 And the best way to get a good night's sleep is my pillow.

00:23:21.260 That's what I think.

00:23:22.060 I love my pillow.

00:23:23.000 I love the, my pillow sheets.

00:23:24.200 I love the, my pillow mattress topper.

00:23:25.900 Most of all, I love the, my pillow pillow, which is my favorite pillow I've ever owned.

00:23:29.400 You all know Mike Lindell.

00:23:30.700 He's a great conservative.

00:23:32.020 He's a great Christian.

00:23:32.880 He comes out and is very open about his political views and about his faith.

00:23:36.180 Well, he's the inventor of my pillow.

00:24:41.440 I've got some advice for president Trump tonight.

00:24:45.080 Here's the big warning, not about don't be too mean to Joe.

00:24:49.500 Sure.

00:24:49.700 Don't be too mean to Joe.

00:24:50.560 Not about don't set expectations too low.

00:24:53.480 They're already kind of set, but yeah, you always want to keep expectations a little

00:24:56.620 higher.

00:24:57.220 Here's my big warning for Trump.

00:25:00.120 Don't take this lightly.

00:25:01.760 Don't think this is a slam dunk because of one reason.

00:25:05.200 Joe Biden, for all of his other faults and flops and doofy statements and cognitive decline, 0.99

00:25:13.860 Joe Biden is an effortless liar. 0.99

00:25:16.120 That is his political superpower. 0.99

00:25:17.920 I'm not saying he's even a malicious liar. 1.00

00:25:20.560 I think he's a cynical liar. 0.99

00:25:22.220 He doesn't care about the truth. 1.00

00:25:24.620 He can lie on a dime.

00:25:27.480 He can change his position on a dime.

00:25:30.240 And he, he might not even know that he's done it.

00:25:32.340 He, this is the kind of typical vice of politicians is they don't believe what they say.

00:25:37.520 They can say anything.

00:25:38.180 They talk out of both sides of their mouth.

00:25:39.580 Well, Joe Biden is a top politician.

00:25:41.140 This guy's been in, in office for about 20%, I think it is, of our country's history.

00:25:46.660 He's been in, he's been in political life.

00:25:48.900 He gets, he got elected 50 years ago.

00:25:50.680 Okay.

00:25:51.640 And during that time, he has shifted positions a lot.

00:25:56.520 I'll give you just one example, the Supreme court issue, filling the seat during an election

00:26:01.240 year.

00:26:02.540 Now that president Trump has nominated judge Barrett, now that it looks like she's going 0.98

00:26:06.360 to be confirmed, Joe Biden is furious.

00:26:08.600 He's calling this an abuse of power.

00:26:10.000 Violating the essence of what the founders thought, that the voters should have a chance

00:26:15.420 to make a, to have a say.

00:26:17.900 The election has already begun.

00:26:20.100 This is an abuse of power of what they're doing.

00:26:22.740 And I think we should focus on what this is going to mean for healthcare, what it's going

00:26:28.700 to mean for, once again, being able to say, if you're pregnant, it's a preexisting condition,

00:26:34.440 be able to charge women more for the same procedure as men.

00:26:37.740 It's wrong.

00:26:38.880 It's an abuse of power.

00:26:40.380 It's wrong.

00:26:40.920 It's an abuse of power.

00:26:41.720 And then he pivots into the healthcare thing because the Democrats believe that that's

00:26:44.980 the only way that they can try to sell their opposition to judge Barrett's nomination.

00:26:48.840 But that's what he says.

00:26:49.880 He's put this person up in an election year.

00:26:52.640 Come on, the election's already on.

00:26:54.000 It's an election year.

00:26:54.980 That's wrong.

00:26:55.840 It's an abuse of power.

00:26:57.100 Just a few years ago though, Joe Biden said the absolute opposite.

00:27:01.360 He said it wasn't an abuse of power when Barack Obama put up a judicial nominee in an

00:27:05.180 election year.

00:27:05.660 Actually, it was the constitutional responsibility of the president and of the Senate.

00:27:11.120 There is no Biden rule.

00:27:13.100 It doesn't exist.

00:27:14.060 There's only one rule I ever followed on the Judiciary Committee.

00:27:19.440 That was the Constitution's clear rule of advice and consent.

00:27:26.800 And advice and consent includes consulting and voting.

00:27:32.720 Nobody is suggesting individual senators have to vote yes on any particular presidential nominee.

00:27:42.320 Voting no is always an option and it is their option.

00:27:45.660 But saying nothing, seeing nothing, reading nothing, hearing nothing, and deciding in advance simply

00:27:58.200 to turn your back before the president even names a nominee is not an option the Constitution

00:28:06.020 leaves open.

00:28:08.160 It's a plain abdication of the Senate's solemn constitutional duty.

00:28:13.980 It's amazing how Joe can become so impassioned, so earnest, while giving completely contradictory

00:28:24.800 points of view just a few years apart.

00:28:28.480 So in case your head is spinning right now, it is an abuse of power for Trump to nominate

00:28:34.240 and for the Senate to confirm a judicial nominee in an election year.

00:28:37.260 So three, four years ago, it was the Senate and the president's solemn duty to nominate

00:28:42.440 and confirm, or at least nominate and vote on a judicial nominee during an election year.

00:28:47.440 It was a requirement of the Constitution.

00:28:49.360 And then it gets even better because he had flipped it one other time.

00:28:52.240 You heard him reference the Biden rule in that speech.

00:28:55.200 The Biden rule refers to a rule that Joe Biden articulated back in 1992 during George H.W.

00:29:03.020 Bush administration when there was a chance that you could see a judge nominated during

00:29:07.640 an election year.

00:29:08.740 And Biden said, absolutely, it would be wrong.

00:29:12.300 It is my view that if a Supreme Court justice resigns tomorrow or within the next several weeks

00:29:18.760 or resigns at the end of the summer, President Bush should consider following the practice

00:29:26.880 of a majority of his predecessors and not, and not name a nominee until after the November

00:29:36.400 election is completed.

00:29:38.160 The Senate, too, Mr. President, must consider how it would respond to a Supreme Court vacancy

00:29:45.240 that would occur in the full throes of an election year.

00:29:50.380 It is my view that if the president goes the way of Presidents Fillmore and Johnson and presses

00:29:57.840 an election year nomination, the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling

00:30:06.060 confirmation hearings on the nomination until ever, until after the political campaign season

00:30:13.280 is over.

00:30:13.780 Well, wait a second.

00:30:15.500 I thought that it was the solemn duty of the Senate to vote.

00:30:19.040 I thought that that was Joe Biden's deeply held belief was that the Senate had to vote

00:30:23.620 on the judicial nominees.

00:30:25.400 And that's what the Constitution required.

00:30:27.020 So just to catch you up, 1992, under a Republican administration, Joe Biden says that the president

00:30:36.020 shouldn't nominate a judge, Senate shouldn't confirm. 0.93

00:30:38.060 Then you get to 2016, Republican administration.

00:30:40.700 The president should nominate a judge and the Senate should confirm or at least vote.

00:30:45.380 And then now in 2020, it's an abuse of power.

00:30:47.800 The president should not nominate a judge and the Senate should not vote. 1.00

00:30:52.320 I mention all of that not to point out that Joe Biden's a hypocrite. 0.99

00:30:55.700 Obviously, that is true. 0.97

00:30:56.960 The only explanation I can see is that he doesn't write his own speeches, which we know is also true because he had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race for plagiarizing other people's speeches.

00:31:05.840 I only mention this because you saw the passion, you saw the earnestness, you saw the effortlessness of his flip-flopping, of his hypocrisy, of his lying, of his just, I guess, sophistry is the right word for it.

00:31:21.320 He's, he's, the content of what he's saying doesn't matter.

00:31:24.620 The content, the substance can change.

00:31:26.760 All Joe Biden is, is the performance, is the, is the pathos, is the, the emotion, is this appeal.

00:31:34.660 I mean, this is, Joe Biden hasn't believed a thing in his whole life.

00:31:37.040 Joe Biden is just there to slap you on the back and make you feel good.

00:31:40.560 That's why I never thought the hair sniffing and the back massages were all that creepy. 0.97

00:31:44.440 I mean, they look a little bit creepy on TV, but it's not about him being a sexual weirdo, I don't think.

00:31:48.760 It's about him being this ingratiating, simpering, flattering politician who isn't trying to sell you on any ideas.

00:31:55.460 He's just trying to make you like him personally and get your vote that way.

00:32:00.280 Trump's got to watch out for that because I don't think that goes away with cognitive decline.

00:32:04.740 If anything, he's sort of more sympathetic now.

00:32:07.200 Even conservatives are saying, gosh, this is elder abuse, what they're doing to this guy.

00:32:10.200 You've got to watch out for that masterful emotional manipulation.

00:32:14.780 Tonight's the night.

00:32:21.280 Will Joe Biden fall asleep?

00:32:22.760 Will Donald Trump wear a mask?

00:32:24.280 Hope not.

00:33:02.160 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:33:15.520 Joe Biden spent the last three or four weeks accusing Donald Trump of hating our troops.

00:33:21.560 Spent the past three or four weeks.

00:33:23.200 He made these slick campaign commercials that came out within about 12 hours or so

00:33:28.320 of that Atlantic hit piece based on four anonymous sources confirmed by Fox News with an anonymous

00:33:34.640 source, so therefore not confirmed in any way, disputed by 25, 26 officials who went on the

00:33:42.460 record to defend the president against this calumny. 1.00

00:33:44.600 But the thought was that the story was that Donald Trump called the troops losers, idiots, 1.00

00:33:50.580 fallen soldiers who were just dummies who gave their lives for nothing. 1.00

00:33:54.440 Joe Biden harped on this, demagogued this. 1.00

00:33:57.060 Now it turns out we have it on video that Joe Biden called our troops stupid bastards in 2016. 1.00

00:34:04.500 And two, I appointed Johnson to the academy. 1.00

00:34:07.420 I just want you to know that.

00:34:09.220 Just clap for that.

00:34:10.120 Must be slow here, man.

00:34:22.760 It's kind of hard to hear exactly what he's saying in the audio of that clip.

00:34:26.440 You can hear a little bit more clearly in a video that was taken by one of the one of the

00:34:30.620 soldiers in the audience.

00:34:32.220 It's pretty clear, though. 1.00

00:34:33.480 He calls them stupid bastards. 1.00

00:34:34.580 One, I married Jill, and two, I appointed Johnson to the academy. 1.00

00:34:40.780 I just want you to know that. 1.00

00:34:42.640 Just clap for that, you stupid bastards. 1.00

00:34:45.360 Clap for that. 1.00

00:34:46.360 Clap for that.

00:34:46.980 So his campaign is now saying that it was a joke and some of the troops were laughing and

00:34:52.700 cheering.

00:34:53.460 So it's no big deal, nothing to see here.

00:34:55.680 My point is not over what Joe Biden says to the troops or not.

00:34:59.460 My point is over the double standard.

00:35:01.220 My point is over the insincerity.

00:35:02.580 My point is over the hypocrisy. 1.00

00:35:04.900 They completely invent quotes from Donald Trump calling the troops idiots and suckers. 1.00

00:35:11.180 Completely invented. 1.00

00:35:12.260 No evidence he ever said that whatsoever.

00:35:14.540 That's the biggest scandal of all time.

00:35:16.600 Joe Biden makes campaign commercials about it. 1.00

00:35:18.880 Then we actually get video of Joe Biden calling them stupid bastards. 1.00

00:35:23.080 No big deal. 1.00

00:35:24.380 No big deal.

00:35:25.280 Nothing to see here.

00:35:26.080 This is why all of these non-traverses, the tax thing with Trump or whatever, you know,

00:35:32.660 the Amy Coney Barrett's religion, this is why they are going, this is why they're not

00:35:37.440 going to have any effect.

00:35:39.160 The Democrats have cried wolf one too many times.

00:35:43.480 So even if there were a scandal that cropped up, I don't know that anyone would care.

00:35:48.040 There hasn't been.

00:35:48.980 I mean, now it's just completely nonsense.

00:35:51.740 But even if a real scandal were to crop up about a Republican, I don't think people would

00:35:56.460 care that much because we couldn't believe it because the people who are making the accusations

00:35:59.920 have no credibility at all. 0.88

00:36:01.660 They've squandered that credibility by both inventing claims and by their abject hypocrisy 0.97

00:36:08.480 and double standards. 0.97

00:36:11.400 And while Joe Biden is extremely oily, he's an oily, unctuous politician.

00:36:17.620 The one thing to remember here is, and this is also some advice for President Trump tonight,

00:36:24.840 Joe Biden doesn't lead on anything.

00:36:27.120 He's not a leader.

00:36:27.900 He's just a guy who blows in the wind, right?

00:36:29.760 He's in a completely empty suit.

00:36:31.180 He licks his index finger.

00:36:32.260 He puts it up in the air and he checks to see which way the wind is blowing.

00:36:35.380 And so if you can lead on an issue, you can get a real advantage over him.

00:36:39.300 It's why this guy has been running for president since 1988 and has never managed to win.

00:36:45.960 It's because he doesn't lead.

00:36:47.800 No one wants to follow that guy.

00:36:49.580 He's always an okay number two or number three, but no one actually wants to follow him.

00:36:54.320 This has not been clearer, this entire race, than on the issue of Supreme Court packing. 0.69

00:36:59.920 You know, the Democrats are threatening to pack the Supreme Court.

00:37:01.940 Top Democrats are saying that they ought to do that.

00:37:04.080 Add more justices to the court as a way to get back at Republicans who are going to confirm a judge,

00:37:08.800 which is absolutely their constitutional right to do and responsibility to do.

00:37:12.940 So Joe Biden's asked a question on court packing,

00:37:14.980 and he gives the most transparently cynical and political answer I have heard from him in at least several days.

00:37:23.760 So I asked Biden a hypothetical question.

00:37:26.420 If he's elected president and Democrats gain control of the Senate,

00:37:30.180 would he consider adding more seats to the Supreme Court?

00:37:33.400 It's a legitimate question, but let me tell you, I'm not going to answer that question,

00:37:38.120 because it will shift all the focus.

00:37:40.660 That's what he wants.

00:37:41.360 He never wants to talk about the issue at hand.

00:37:43.580 He always tries to change the subject.

00:37:45.860 But let's say I answer that question.

00:37:48.080 Then the whole debate's going to be, well, Biden said or didn't say.

00:37:51.180 Biden said he would or wouldn't.

00:37:52.520 Hey, Mr. Biden, will you answer my question?

00:37:56.100 No, no, I'm not going to answer your question, because Trump never wants to answer the question.

00:38:01.260 What?

00:38:02.200 Yeah, Trump always wants to shift the debate.

00:38:04.060 Let's talk about Trump.

00:38:05.900 No, I don't.

00:38:06.720 I don't think it's Trump who's avoiding the question and shifting the debate.

00:38:09.540 I think it would be you, because I asked you a very clear question.

00:38:12.520 And Biden admits that it's a clear question.

00:38:14.780 Biden admits it's a legitimate question.

00:38:16.260 He says, yes, no, it's a legitimate question.

00:38:17.660 But I don't want to give an answer, you see, because that would be politically disadvantageous

00:38:22.000 to me, because I know that the radicals in my party, the radical base wants to pack the

00:38:26.960 court.

00:38:27.360 But I know that most normal people don't want to pack the court.

00:38:30.920 And so I'm just not going to give you an answer because Trump avoids questions.

00:38:36.360 No, I think you do.

00:38:37.820 Although he he does have a fairly decent political gut, Joe Biden, because he realizes most voters,

00:38:43.400 I don't know about most Democrats, but most voters do not want to pack the court.

00:38:47.660 We've got a poll out.

00:38:50.160 This was conducted by McLaughlin and Associates from September 23rd to 27th among a thousand

00:38:54.620 registered likely voters.

00:38:56.960 Sixty two percent want to keep nine justices on the Supreme Court. 0.85

00:39:01.420 They actually support an amendment to the Constitution to set the number of judges at nine Supreme

00:39:07.760 Court justices, as opposed to 18 percent of people who do not favor the amendment.

00:39:12.540 So it's not even saying, do you prefer nine justices or not?

00:39:14.580 It's actually going further than that.

00:39:15.840 It's saying, do you want a constitutional amendment to set it at nine justices?

00:39:18.720 And a clear majority of Americans, a whopping 62 percent, say yes.

00:39:23.440 And only 18 percent say they do not want the amendment.

00:39:27.220 So it is a total loser issue for them.

00:39:29.760 And they should not they should not go into it if they care about their own political skin.

00:39:35.520 But they might not be able to resist it.

00:39:38.080 Ed Markey, Senator Ed Markey, says if Republicans confirm Barrett, then we should end the filibuster

00:39:42.900 and expand the court.

00:39:44.020 And I'm sure this raises him some money and gives him a little cred with his base, but

00:39:47.240 it's going to hurt them in the long run.

00:39:48.360 So Democrats with cooler heads, with a little bit of a longer view, who have a little deeper

00:39:53.960 sense of their own political survival.

00:39:57.020 Guys like Dick Durbin, second most powerful Democrat in the Senate, Senate minority whip.

00:40:01.060 He's coming out there and saying, whoa, whoa, slow down, guys.

00:40:04.160 So he comes out.

00:40:05.120 He was talking to George Stephanopoulos.

00:40:06.220 He said, hey, I disagree with Hillary Clinton on this whole don't concede the election thing. 1.00

00:40:10.420 I'm not trying to steal the election.

00:40:12.000 No, let's respect constitutional order. 1.00

00:40:14.160 Shut up, Democrats. 0.99

00:40:15.760 I know we're going to try to steal it, but don't say it out loud. 1.00

00:40:19.240 Shut up. 0.97

00:40:19.940 So he's doing this again on the on the court packing issue. 0.99

00:40:23.740 He's doing this again specifically on Amy Coney Barrett.

00:40:28.020 He's not saying that if the if the Democrats or if the Republicans confirm Barrett, we're

00:40:33.000 going to pack the court.

00:40:34.160 We're going to what he's saying is, yeah, the Amy Coney Barrett thing is really unfortunate,

00:40:40.740 but we can't do anything about it.

00:40:42.760 We could slow it down, perhaps a matter of hours, maybe days at the most, but we can't

00:40:48.400 stop the outcome.

00:40:49.500 What we should do is to address this now respectfully, but understand the context, George.

00:40:55.280 We have to slow it down.

00:40:56.560 We can't do anything, though, to stop it.

00:40:58.820 Now, that's not true.

00:41:00.960 It's not.

00:41:01.600 But it's interesting that he said it, but it's not true.

00:41:04.360 They could they could mount a good case to stop the Barrett nomination.

00:41:09.200 They could rip up her past, rip up her family, rip up her religion, find something, something,

00:41:15.540 anything to ruin this woman's life over. 0.99

00:41:18.240 And if they can't, they can just make it up like they did to Brett Kavanaugh.

00:41:20.340 They launched a very strong attack on Brett Kavanaugh, and they nearly derailed his nomination.

00:41:27.800 They didn't succeed in the end, but they came pretty close.

00:41:30.720 So why is Dick Durbin saying there's nothing they can do?

00:41:33.240 Of course there is.

00:41:34.680 Murkowski and Collins, two squishy Republicans, they have said that they won't go along with

00:41:40.880 the nomination in an election year.

00:41:42.200 So now you're down to, what, 51 votes, four and 49 against.

00:41:47.020 So you can probably pry a couple more away.

00:41:49.040 What Dick Durbin is trying to do here is dissuade Democrats from launching those very attacks

00:41:55.940 because he knows they won't play well.

00:41:58.200 Dick Durbin knows things like court packing don't play well.

00:42:00.600 But more than that, he knows things like attacking this nice woman's family are going to kill the

00:42:05.640 Democrats.

00:42:06.240 He knows things like attacking this woman's religion are going to kill the Democrats in November.

00:42:10.680 If they, if Democrats just start launching all out attacks on Christianity, you think that's

00:42:14.880 going to play well in the battleground states that they have to win?

00:42:17.420 Think that's going to play in Pennsylvania?

00:42:19.140 I don't think so, Buster.

00:42:21.520 And so he's, he's lying to them.

00:42:24.160 He's saying, no, there's nothing we can do.

00:42:25.600 Please stop.

00:42:26.180 Please don't launch.

00:42:27.120 Please don't do this to me, Democrats.

00:42:29.100 And he's doing it to discourage what could be effective attacks at stopping the Barrett nomination,

00:42:35.080 but ultimately will be Pyrrhic victories, even if they won.

00:42:37.880 And ultimately would be self-defeating at the ballot box in November.

00:42:43.320 This is because Dick Durbin also has a good political gut and he sees which way things are

00:42:48.200 blowing.

00:42:48.560 Democrats would be, would be wise to make this kind of pivot on another issue too, not just on the

00:42:52.900 religion, not just on the family, not just on the court.

00:42:54.760 On another issue that's very divisive, Black Lives Matter, this whole craziness of defund the police.

00:43:01.420 Four out of five black voters say they don't want to defund the police.

00:43:04.700 And yet Democrats, allegedly speaking on behalf of black people, say they do want to defund the

00:43:08.920 police.

00:43:10.360 Cooler heads are beginning to prevail.

00:43:12.440 Cooler heads are beginning to recognize, gosh, all of these narratives we've been told by the

00:43:18.140 Democrats who've been crying wolf for at least the last four years continuously and actually for

00:43:23.840 much longer than that.

00:43:25.040 Gosh, these narratives, they don't seem all that true.

00:43:27.920 Of all things, we'll turn to the sports world.

00:43:29.800 When Charles Barkley was talking to Shaquille O'Neal, they were talking about the Breonna Taylor

00:43:35.360 case, say her name. 1.00

00:43:36.400 This is one of the central cases of the BLM movement, which was, which was presented to us

00:43:40.820 as this innocent woman who was sleeping in her bed and racist cops came in, kicked down the door and 1.00

00:43:45.440 executed her because they're racist and racist or something like that.

00:43:49.620 The reality, not quite true.

00:43:51.720 Breonna Taylor tied in with a pretty significant drug trafficking ring. 1.00

00:43:55.160 Uh, the boyfriend that she was with at the time was shooting at the cops, the cops shooting

00:44:00.320 back.

00:44:00.760 It was a totally legal warrant, right?

00:44:02.340 Completely different narrative.

00:44:04.000 So I don't, I don't, I don't think that I turned to the sports world for conservative

00:44:08.960 political commentary.

00:44:09.820 Okay.

00:44:10.220 I don't think I turned to it for even all that moderate political commentary, but

00:44:15.080 Charles Barkley's giving this talk on Black Lives Matter.

00:44:19.120 He says, you know, we shouldn't lump in all of these cases together.

00:44:22.420 This Breonna Taylor one seems, seems a little bit different.

00:44:25.160 It's bad the young lady lost her life.

00:44:27.720 Uh, but you know, we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the

00:44:34.440 cops and shot a cop.

00:44:36.220 So like I say, even though I'm really sorry, she lost her life.

00:44:40.240 I don't think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation with George Floyd

00:44:44.580 and Ahmaud Arbery.

00:44:46.200 I just don't believe that.

00:44:47.600 Yeah.

00:44:48.040 I think we do have to mention, uh, that this guy shot at the cops, right?

00:44:52.280 And Shaquille O'Neal, I couldn't, couldn't actually find the clip cause I, I don't watch

00:44:55.180 this show cause I don't like watch a lot of sports.

00:44:57.340 Shaq agreed.

00:44:58.000 He said, I have to agree with Charles.

00:44:59.460 This one is sort of lumped in.

00:45:00.960 You have to get a warrant signed in some States do allow no knock warrants.

00:45:04.180 And everyone was asking for murder charges.

00:45:05.720 When you talk about murder, you have to show intent.

00:45:07.700 A homicide occurred and we're sorry, a homicide occurred.

00:45:10.060 When you have a warrant signed by the judge, you're doing your job.

00:45:12.460 And I would imagine that you would fire back.

00:45:14.300 Of course, any reasonable person doesn't matter what political party you're affiliated with.

00:45:19.300 Not that many reasonable people these days would, would call themselves Democrats, but

00:45:22.880 it doesn't really matter if you consider yourself on the left or in the center or on the right.

00:45:28.580 If you're a reasonable person, you probably have that point of view.

00:45:32.180 Oh yeah.

00:45:32.440 Some of these cases maybe don't look great, but, but some, some just don't, don't deserve

00:45:38.060 to be lumped in because it's so much clearer.

00:45:40.220 And I think Democrats are the smart Democrats like Dick Durbin are beginning to see that

00:45:44.360 and say, Whoa, guys, pump the brakes, pump the brakes.

00:45:46.760 We're heading into November and we've got all these electoral advantages and we're trying

00:45:51.120 to steal the election through mail-in, but you guys are giving it all away.

00:45:54.840 Why?

00:45:55.380 Because they keep crying wolf.

00:45:58.960 And when you do that time and time and time again, when your hair is always on fire,

00:46:02.500 when you're always running around screaming, eventually people tune you out.

00:46:07.120 Crying wolf.

00:46:07.680 Speaking of the animal kingdom, I do have to give a quick shout out.

00:46:10.220 To a hero animal, uh, reporters for CBS news and other mainstream media outlets, uh, were

00:46:17.060 sent running on Monday, Monday morning after an aggressive raccoon began attacking them outside

00:46:23.940 of the white house.

00:46:25.200 I don't have the raccoon's name anywhere, but he is a hero.

00:46:31.120 Uh, I support him.

00:46:32.460 I salute you, Mr.

00:46:33.500 Raccoon.

00:46:33.960 I put you up in the pantheon of great animals up there with Harambe and Cecil the lion.

00:46:39.480 Uh, please, uh, if you want to suggest a name for this raccoon, please do it in the comment

00:46:44.560 section below.

00:46:45.280 But I, I, you know, I always want to call out moments of heroism and just great accomplishment

00:46:51.380 in, in American politics and a, a white house raccoon chasing away mainstream media supporters

00:46:58.160 certainly fits the bill.

00:47:00.740 Crying, crying wolf and chasing, being chased by raccoons.

00:47:05.800 That's what the Democrats are doing.

00:47:07.600 I can't wait for the debate tonight.
