00:00:37.740 The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett are off to an incredible start.

00:00:43.760 And by that, I mean they have no credibility.

00:00:46.400 There is no credibility whatsoever.

00:00:48.520 And the Democrats, incredibly, are making credibility the issue.

00:00:52.880 Beginning with one of the least credible members of the U.S. Senate, Democrat Dick Blumenthal.

00:00:58.720 President Trump and the Republican Center are eroding, indeed destroying, that legitimacy.

00:01:06.260 They've stripped the American people of their say in this process simply to confirm a justice who will strike down in court,

00:01:16.140 legislate from the bench, what they can't repeal in Congress.

00:01:24.580 Your participation, let me be very blunt, in any case involving Donald Trump's election would immediately do explosive, enduring harm to the court's legitimacy and to your own credibility.

00:01:42.800 You must refuse yourself.

00:01:44.980 Danang Dick Blumenthal is warning Judge Amy Barrett about threats to her legitimacy.

00:01:52.320 Dick Blumenthal very famously lied about his service in the Vietnam War. 0.95

00:01:56.720 Dick Blumenthal very famously called our last Supreme Court nominee a gang rapist.

00:02:03.100 Take a listen to what he said when Brett Kavanaugh was up for the court.

00:02:06.600 This affidavit sworn under oath with immense detail and corroborating witnesses who will come forward.

00:02:18.100 This woman, a survivor of vicious sexual attack, has everything to lose.

00:02:26.840 Her livelihood depends on her security clearance.

00:02:30.440 If she is found by the FBI to be lying, she loses her livelihood.

00:02:36.640 If my Republican colleagues have any sense of morality, they will refuse to go forward on Friday.

00:02:45.700 They will demand an FBI investigation.

00:02:49.320 And in fact, the White House should do so.

00:02:52.560 If Judge Kavanaugh is really serious about clearing his name, he should demand an FBI investigation of these detailed, precise, absolutely staggering allegations.

00:03:07.460 Absolutely staggering.

00:03:09.380 Shortly after Danang Dick made those comments, by the way, the allegations completely fell apart.

00:03:14.100 Those were not the Christine Ford allegations.

00:03:16.320 Those were the Julie Swetnick allegations, which had no basis in reality, no evidence at all.

00:03:21.560 And the lawyer who pushed them is now serving hard time for fraud.

00:03:24.800 That's where the credibility is.

00:03:26.900 Unfortunately for guys like Dick Blumenthal, who can push this all out there with a straight face, it's not even convincing their own colleagues.

00:03:34.160 The Democrats know that they are losing here, and they're going to try to get through these hearings as quickly as possible.

00:03:40.260 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:40.920 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:49.680 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:50.960 My favorite comment from yesterday from Hudson Dean.

00:03:54.140 LeBron James cares so much about gender equality that the NBA now has the same ratings as the WNBA.

00:04:02.260 Wow.

00:04:02.700 You know, because we've just been talking about all the racial division the left is pushing, but you're right.

00:04:07.900 That is on the level of sexual politics as well.

00:04:11.980 There are now just as many people watching the NBA as the WNBA.

00:04:17.680 Well, that's a great value, isn't it?

00:04:19.620 You know, those two things used to have very different revenues, and now it looks like those revenues,

00:04:24.960 it looks like the money coming into both of those organizations is just about the same.

00:04:29.100 You've got to make sure that you're not overpaying.

00:04:31.020 You've got to make sure you've got to level out those revenues when you are paying your cell phone bill,

00:04:34.980 and that is why I would highly recommend Pure Talk USA.

00:04:37.640 I'm going to be extremely blunt here.

00:04:39.580 If your cell phone plan is with, say, Verizon, ATT, or T-Mobile,

00:04:45.000 you are paying way too much for the exact same coverage that you would be getting right now with Pure Talk.

00:04:50.180 Now, I know what you heard me say.

00:04:51.920 What you heard me say is, if you have ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon, you can get a similar network.

00:04:57.900 You can get similar coverage for cheaper.

00:05:00.940 I didn't say that.

00:05:02.140 I said you could get the exact same, the exact same.

00:05:05.620 The average person who switches to Pure Talk is using less than four gigs of data per month,

00:05:09.860 but the big carriers are charging you for unlimited data.

00:05:12.520 That's how Pure Talk saves the average person over $400 per year on their wireless service.

00:05:17.200 Unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data all for just $20 a month.

00:05:21.620 And if you go over on data usage, guess what?

00:05:24.600 They don't charge you for it.

00:05:26.140 They won't charge you for it.

00:05:27.020 It's unbelievable how much money people are throwing out the window on other cell phone companies

00:05:31.640 when you can get the same service.

00:05:33.400 Grab your mobile phone.

00:05:34.260 Dial pound 250.

00:05:35.180 Say, Michael Knowles.

00:05:36.220 When you do, you will save 50% off your first month.

00:05:39.200 Dial pound 250 and say, keyword, Michael Knowles.

00:05:43.100 Pure Talk.

00:05:43.580 Simply.

00:05:44.380 Smarter.

00:05:45.380 Wireless. 0.94

00:05:45.740 Now we will move into something that is simply dumber, which is these confirmation hearings 0.93

00:05:51.560 that we were watching yesterday. 0.96

00:05:53.920 Even the left is admitting that this is not going well for them.

00:05:58.300 CNN cut away during the confirmation hearings.

00:06:01.140 And the reason they cut away, I don't think is because they're making some principled stand

00:06:05.980 on the legitimacy of Trump nominating a judge during an election year.

00:06:09.060 They're cutting away because there's no way this is a win for Democrats.

00:06:13.480 How do they win?

00:06:14.440 They can either pull a Kavanaugh.

00:06:17.080 They can viciously attack this woman and try to derail her nomination. 1.00

00:06:21.440 But how is that going to look a few weeks before a presidential election?

00:06:24.540 You've got this very attractive, both physically and on paper, sort of nice female candidate, 1.00

00:06:31.840 part of the gentler sex with this big, beautiful family, totally unimpeachable.

00:06:36.460 So you can have the last taste in voters' mouths of Democrats be them just destroying this very

00:06:43.680 sympathetic woman, or they can fail, right? 0.99

00:06:47.200 Or the Democrats don't derail her nomination and they look feckless on screen.

00:06:51.280 Either way, it looks pretty, pretty bad.

00:06:54.100 And it looks like right now Democrats are trying to split the baby, as it were, very, very literally

00:06:59.800 trying to split the baby by derailing Justice Barrett and trying to maintain Roe versus Wade.

00:07:05.260 So they're trying to have it both ways and it's not working very well.

00:07:09.940 Most of the hearing was just senators letting out the hot air that generally tends to fill

00:07:15.320 their bodies.

00:07:16.060 But a few tried to make cogent arguments and it went nowhere.

00:07:20.660 Kamala Harris was first up. 0.90

00:07:22.340 Kamala Harris was testifying remotely and she had a picture of RBG, this kind of silly RBG

00:07:29.920 children's book behind her.

00:07:31.460 And she said, the reason we can't confirm Barrett is because Barrett will undermine Justice Ruth

00:07:38.180 Ginsburg's legacy.

00:07:39.580 By replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with someone who will undo her legacy.

00:07:46.060 President Trump is attempting to roll back Americans' rights for decades to come.

00:07:52.640 Every American must understand that with this nomination, equal justice under law is at stake.

00:08:01.680 Our voting rights are at stake.

00:08:05.060 Workers' rights are at stake.

00:08:08.220 Consumer rights are at stake.

00:08:10.760 The right to a safe and legal abortion is at stake.

00:08:15.160 And holding corporations accountable is at stake.

00:08:19.460 And again, there's so much more.

00:08:21.540 So only two things she said were true.

00:08:23.340 The rest of it was completely bogus.

00:08:24.920 But I do give her credit for saying the two true things.

00:08:28.520 She said a lot of silly things like our right to vote is at stake.

00:08:31.300 I don't think so.

00:08:32.000 I think we'll be able to vote even if there's another judge on the bench.

00:08:35.260 There's a new judge replacing RBG.

00:08:37.640 She says things like corporations will finally be held to account.

00:08:40.460 Corporate America supports the left overwhelmingly, okay?

00:08:45.200 There's no threat being posed by a conservative judge to, you know, your consumer choice.

00:08:52.560 If anything, it will.

00:08:53.720 Having a conservative judge on the bench will be a negative turn of events for corporate America

00:08:58.760 and a positive thing for consumer protections and for smaller businesses.

00:09:03.380 But she says two things that are true. 0.63

00:09:05.340 One, Justice Barrett could overturn Ruth Ginsburg's legacy.

00:09:10.020 That is true.

00:09:10.620 That's the point.

00:09:11.200 That's why we're nominating her. 0.99

00:09:12.500 That's why we have conservative judges. 0.99

00:09:14.940 The point of conservative judges is to undermine the legacy of left-wing judges.

00:09:19.040 The point of left-wing judges is to undermine the legacy of conservative judges.

00:09:22.920 That's it.

00:09:23.440 That's the way it works.

00:09:24.740 Kamala Harris would do exactly the same thing. 0.99

00:09:26.480 So totally fine.

00:09:28.000 And I'm not even sure, by the way.

00:09:29.280 I don't know what Justice Barrett's really going to do.

00:09:32.400 Conservative judges disappoint the people who appoint them all the time.

00:09:37.000 So we're hoping, knock on wood, she undermines Ginsburg's legacy. 0.52

00:09:40.920 And then I have to give Kamala Harris credit.

00:09:43.220 She said that Ruth Ginsburg, or Amy Barrett, rather, could undermine a right, quote unquote,

00:09:49.800 that Ruth Ginsburg protected, namely the right to abortion.

00:09:53.320 That's true.

00:09:54.380 Right.

00:09:54.680 That is the issue.

00:09:55.380 I actually give Kamala Harris a little bit of credit because so often we just hear them

00:10:00.240 use this euphemism.

00:10:01.800 Women's health, reproductive rights, which are not only imprecise, but in the case of 1.00

00:10:07.680 reproductive rights, the opposite of what is true.

00:10:10.400 It's the opposite of reproduction.

00:10:11.940 But that's it.

00:10:12.460 This is about abortion.

00:10:13.760 Democrats are turning abortion into a sacrament.

00:10:16.180 They're making this the central issue of their campaigns, which is pretty creepy.

00:10:20.700 And we are trying to overturn that.

00:10:23.120 Yep.

00:10:23.440 And I hope Justice Barrett does it.

00:10:24.880 Not sure that she will.

00:10:26.260 That was the best Kamala could muster.

00:10:27.620 Next up was Amy Klobuchar, who was even less convincing than Kamala Harris, because Klobuchar 0.73

00:10:33.200 realized there was no lane of attack.

00:10:36.180 She wasn't going to go after Barrett's religion.

00:10:38.400 She's too smart for that. 0.99

00:10:39.440 She wasn't going to go after Barrett's kids.

00:10:41.440 She's too smart for that. 1.00

00:10:42.560 She wasn't going to issue in these sort of stupid platitudes about just broad issues like Kamala 1.00

00:10:49.880 Harris did. 0.98

00:10:50.900 So Klobuchar decided to pivot back, get away from the court issues entirely, and for some

00:10:56.980 reason, start talking about coronavirus.

00:10:59.000 The daughter of Hmong refugees whose parents fled Laos to a refugee camp in Thailand before

00:11:05.620 arriving in Minnesota, Marnie and her seven siblings grew up in St. Paul.

00:11:10.760 Their family, the American dream.

00:11:13.940 This is who this virus has taken from us.

00:11:16.760 Someone who has left behind a mother and a father and seven siblings who loved her, and

00:11:21.340 someone who undoubtedly would have made the world a better place.

00:11:25.440 The president could have saved so many lives.

00:11:28.000 Instead, he's been reckless, packing people in without masks for your nomination party,

00:11:33.900 Judge Barrett.

00:11:35.000 Thirty-five people got sick.

00:11:36.740 The president himself ends up in the hospital, and when he leaves, Walter Reed's still contagious.

00:11:41.320 He defiantly takes off his mask and walks into the White House, and then he lies and

00:11:46.280 says the virus will magically go away.

00:11:49.700 The truth matters, and the truth is America, that this judicial nominee has made her view so

00:11:56.180 clear, and this president is trying to put her in a position of power to make decisions 1.00

00:12:01.640 about your lives.

00:12:02.680 Uh, what?

00:12:06.420 When she tries to bring it back there at the end to this, this president is trying to nominate 0.51

00:12:11.800 a judge who will make decisions about your lives.

00:12:14.380 You know, like all presidents who nominate judges, because that's what judges do.

00:12:19.580 This president is trying to nominate a judge like the Constitution says he should.

00:12:23.120 So she tries to bring it back there at the end, but why she's talking about coronavirus

00:12:28.280 and these very sad stories about people who have died from coronavirus have nothing to

00:12:32.360 do with Washington, D.C. or Trump or Barrett, and then it's Trump's fault that there is a

00:12:38.160 virus from China or something, and then, and, but he's nominating a judge, and so that's

00:12:43.380 bad too.

00:12:43.980 This speech, I don't know what staffer wrote this speech, but whoever wrote it should be

00:12:47.440 fired, this would not pass a freshman writing seminar, a freshman in high school writing

00:12:52.740 seminar.

00:12:53.460 This was pretty weak sauce, but she does it because they have nothing else. 0.96

00:13:00.340 I felt Klobuchar's speech, speechifying yesterday was the clearest evidence that the Democrats

00:13:07.320 know they've got nothing.

00:13:08.220 The left know they are losing on this issue, and they just need to move past this hearing.

00:13:12.760 They'll do the sort of perfunctory yelling and howling, but they'll just, they'll confirm

00:13:16.680 her and then they'll move past it because there's no way that they gain politically 0.51

00:13:20.640 here.

00:13:20.960 Someone who was, was just as convinced as the, or just as confused rather as the rest

00:13:25.360 of us over Amy Klobuchar's bizarre rant was Senator Ben Sasse.

00:13:30.780 One thing you might've noticed about Senator Sasse, I think one of the most persuasive aspects

00:13:34.540 about the guy is he's got very good hair.

00:13:37.540 And if you want to keep your hair, you've got to check out HIMSS.

00:13:41.320 HIMSS is helping guys be the best version of themselves with licensed medical providers and

00:14:07.000 I'm not a hulking Adonis of a man.

00:14:08.840 Okay.

00:14:09.320 One thing that always helped me in the lady department was that, you know, I got a nice full 0.99

00:14:13.480 head of hair.

00:14:13.840 So I'd recommend you go do that today.

00:14:15.700 Today, HIMSS is giving you their best offer yet.

00:14:50.820 Remember, what is it?

00:14:51.900 4hims.com slash Knowles.

00:14:55.160 So Ben Sass, who has very nice hair, was just as confused as the rest of us.

00:15:01.620 And so he took the opportunity to offer a civics lesson for our obviously degraded national conversation.

00:15:10.260 Senator Klobuchar said a number of things about COVID that I agree with.

00:15:15.140 She cited a bunch of really painful stories in Minnesota and similar stories could be told from across the country.

00:15:21.820 I even agree with parts of her criticism of the mismanagement of COVID by Washington, D.C.

00:15:26.900 I don't know what any of that has to do with what we're here to do today.

00:15:31.480 Huge parts of what we're doing in this hearing would be really confusing to eighth graders.

00:15:38.040 If civics classes across the country tuned into this hearing and tried to figure out what we're here to do,

00:15:43.600 and they heard as much as they've heard about 2009 finance committee debates about what should be in a health care reform package,

00:15:50.800 I'm blessed to sit not just on the judiciary committee, but also on the finance committee.

00:15:55.380 And lots of the discussions we've had in here today fit better in a finance committee hearing than in a judiciary committee hearing.

00:16:01.540 So I think it would be very useful for us to pause and remind ourselves and do some of our civic duty to eighth graders

00:16:08.780 to help them realize what a president runs for, what a senator runs for,

00:16:14.140 and on the other hand, why Judge Barrett is sitting before us today.

00:16:17.160 This was an excellent skewering of what was going on.

00:16:22.000 And actually, what Ben Sasse is doing here is exactly what senators should do.

00:16:27.800 He's distilling this for eighth graders, and in there is a kind of not-so-subtle jibe at the Democrats,

00:16:34.120 which is saying you guys are behaving not even as eighth graders would.

00:16:38.360 You guys do not even possess the civic understanding of eighth graders.

00:16:41.820 And it's important to have civics education.

00:16:43.400 We no longer have it in schools. ISI, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute,

00:16:47.420 did a survey of elite university students, so the top-ranked schools in the country.

00:16:53.860 This was all the way back in 2007, by the way.

00:16:56.080 They surveyed seniors and freshmen.

00:16:58.640 Turned out that graduating seniors knew less about civics than incoming freshmen. 0.97

00:17:02.460 People were getting more ignorant over time.

00:17:05.560 So it's important to have that civics education.

00:17:08.760 But this is also what senators should be doing. 0.65

00:17:10.580 You know, most of our government is just run by bureaucrats.

00:17:14.340 It's not actually run by the elected president or the senators or even the judges, more so the judges,

00:17:20.680 but certainly not these elected guys in Congress or the Senate.

00:17:23.940 Much of what the Senate and the House of Representatives exist to do is to communicate politics to people.

00:17:31.000 It's kind of a sad state of affairs because they actually have significantly less lawmaking power than they used to.

00:17:35.940 Most of that has been sent away to the administrative state.

00:17:38.420 So the one thing they can do is communicate and bring people in on what is happening in their government.

00:17:45.880 And that has a little bit of accountability, therefore, to their constituents.

00:17:50.320 That's what Sass was doing. 0.88

00:17:51.560 I thought it was brilliantly done.

00:17:53.980 We could all use a good civics lesson, most especially the Democrats sitting in that chamber.

00:17:58.120 Now, he opened up by kind of poking fun at what Amy Klobuchar was demagoguing about, this COVID narrative and these COVID stories as a way to distract from what they were actually supposed to be doing.

00:18:12.120 It is important to note that the Democrats' narrative on coronavirus right now is completely falling apart.

00:18:19.420 It's never made sense.

00:18:21.320 The rules have been changing constantly.

00:18:23.120 Initially, we were told by the experts, by the Surgeon General, by Dr. Fauci, the exalted Dr. Fauci, peace be upon him, by elected Democrats like Eric Swalwell.

00:18:33.700 All these guys were saying, don't wear masks. 1.00

00:18:35.820 Masks are stupid. 1.00

00:18:36.620 You must be an idiot if you're wearing a mask. 1.00

00:18:38.700 Don't wear them. 1.00

00:18:40.020 Stop buying them.

00:18:41.080 Then we were told you have to wear masks all the time.

00:18:43.880 Masks are super duper effective.

00:18:45.160 If you even suggest that masks are not used perfectly all the time, then you're going to be kicked off of the Internet.

00:18:51.660 Then we heard from, for instance, epidemiologists at Columbia who said this to NPR, that the masks fail in studies, but not because the masks are no good.

00:19:00.000 It's because people don't use them correctly, which I suppose makes sense, right?

00:19:02.680 People are putting the masks on.

00:19:04.080 They're touching their face.

00:19:04.920 They're moving it around.

00:19:05.460 They're not wearing it right.

00:19:06.900 There's a new study out from the CDC.

00:19:08.760 Guess which percentage, what is the percentage of people who are infected with coronavirus, according to the CDC study, who wore their masks all the time or often?

00:19:24.120 What percentage would you say?

00:19:25.760 Because, you know, they're so good at protecting you from the virus.

00:19:29.360 What percentage?

00:19:31.060 Two percent, three percent are wearing their masks all the time or often and still get the virus?

00:19:36.580 Eighty-five percent.

00:19:39.320 Eighty-five percent, according to this recent CDC study.

00:19:43.700 Seventy-point-six percent of respondents report that they always wear a mask.

00:19:48.720 An additional 14.4 percent say that they often wear a mask, which means 85 percent of people who have been infected with coronavirus, according to this study, habitually wear the mask.

00:20:00.860 Now, here's the kicker.

00:20:02.060 Remember, what percentage of people, according to the CDC study, report never wearing the mask, who then go on to get coronavirus?

00:20:11.680 3.9 percent.

00:20:14.000 So for me, you know my behaviors on these sorts of things.

00:20:17.400 But look, for me, I'm an expert scientist.

00:20:19.300 So I just want to follow the science.

00:20:21.180 I want to listen to the CDC.

00:20:22.760 I want to do whatever the experts tell me to do.

00:20:24.440 And it seems from the CDC study that some of what we've been told about these precautions is not correct.

00:20:34.480 Well, we know.

00:20:35.220 We know that some of what we've told about these precautions is not correct because these so-called experts have told us opposite guidance.

00:20:43.480 They've told us never wear the mask.

00:20:45.020 They've told us always wear the mask.

00:20:46.220 And now, as we learn more about the way these things work, it would seem that it's even more confusing.

00:20:54.760 After this CDC study, though, there's another survey that came out of Chicago, which gives us a little hint on how this coronavirus is going to be spreading throughout the populations.

00:21:05.280 You know, this is a real threat.

00:21:07.320 I don't mean to downplay the threat.

00:21:08.740 But we do have to consider our safety, not just, by the way, in the realm of public health, also in the realm of home security and whether people are going to try to come in and steal your stuff.

00:21:21.160 That's why you've got to check out Ring.

00:21:22.620 There are a thousand reasons why protecting your home should matter to you.

00:21:26.640 Ring has security products for every corner of your home, inside and out.

00:21:29.740 And best of all, you can see it all in one simple app.

00:21:33.200 With Ring, you can keep an eye on your home no matter where you are right from your phone.

00:21:36.980 You know that I give Ring out to my friends as housewarming gifts.

00:21:40.660 So recently, I've been getting updates on some of my friends who have the Ring that I've given them.

00:21:46.040 And one couple, very close friends of mine, they have this cute little baby.

00:21:50.300 So they'd leave the, you know, they'd go out with the baby.

00:21:52.420 They'd put the baby on the grass.

00:21:53.600 They find out, thanks to their Ring, there's a coyote living in their yard.

00:21:57.660 It kind of comes in and out.

00:21:59.300 And so they see this now, so they say, okay, God, I've got to keep an eye on my kid when he's out here in the yard.

00:22:03.700 Now, what I imagine this has led to is the baby just kind of watching his Ring and then turning into the roadrunner, you know,

00:22:10.280 and just kind of tricking this coyote and having, like, grand pianos fall from the sky and then the coyote's teeth are the keys.

00:22:14.940 This is just what I'm imagining.

00:22:16.020 I haven't seen this on the Ring yet.

00:22:32.060 So, the CDC study shows the overwhelming majority of people who are getting infected with coronavirus are wearing the masks always or often.

00:22:44.220 Again, that's not saying anything about the masks per se, just telling you how this virus is actually spreading in reality.

00:22:52.340 Well, we see the same thing in Chicago.

00:22:53.660 Right now, they did a survey in Chicago of how many residents who sent blood spot samples to Northwestern University researchers tested positive for COVID antibodies.

00:23:07.340 So, they had people sort of send in these samples and they're going to see not even just how many people have the virus currently,

00:23:13.140 but how many people have the antibodies so they had the virus in the past.

00:23:16.500 Do you know how many Chicagoans have had coronavirus according to this survey?

00:23:21.000 One in five, a full 20% of Chicagoans who sent in these samples have had coronavirus.

00:23:31.140 This was my point when we were talking earlier.

00:23:34.260 I've been reiterating this almost once a week now.

00:23:37.320 The liberals think that conservatives oppose all of their kind of crazy measures to stop the spread of coronavirus

00:23:43.280 because we think we're never going to get coronavirus.

00:23:45.560 But actually, the opposite is true.

00:23:47.980 We oppose them.

00:23:49.280 Well, one, because there is some dispute over the efficacy of some of these measures.

00:23:54.360 Two, now in the case of the lockdowns, the World Health Organization is actively saying,

00:23:57.800 don't do the lockdowns.

00:23:58.720 The lockdowns are very bad for you.

00:24:00.740 But disputes about the efficacy of these things aside,

00:24:03.960 the reason that we are not indulging this sort of thing and clamoring to throw the world into a global economy

00:24:11.460 or into a global economic depression over the coronavirus measures

00:24:16.620 is because not that we think we won't get it, but because we know COVID's here to stay.

00:24:23.040 We're very likely going to get it.

00:24:24.920 WHO came out the other day and said one in 10 people on earth has gotten coronavirus.

00:24:30.040 10% of the entire world population has gotten this virus in the nine or 10 months that it has existed.

00:24:39.420 It's not going to stop there, folks.

00:24:41.080 It's going to keep spreading.

00:24:42.480 One in five Chicagoans has had coronavirus.

00:24:46.080 I know you think that you can protect yourself from that forever

00:24:49.900 because there's some government policy,

00:24:52.200 some matter of social engineering that's going to protect you from germs, 0.93

00:24:55.580 that now we're on a political crusade to defeat germs.

00:25:01.420 You're not going to do it.

00:25:02.640 It's not going to happen, folks. 0.98

00:25:05.160 This is not only as foolish as, say, the war on poverty, you know, 0.98

00:25:09.760 or the war on this or the war on that. 1.00

00:25:12.400 This is more foolish. 0.99

00:25:14.720 You will not defeat disease. 0.99

00:25:17.020 You can improve health.

00:25:18.520 You can mitigate disease.

00:25:20.940 You can develop vaccines that have certain efficacy.

00:25:23.700 Great.

00:25:24.180 I encourage everybody to do that.

00:25:27.220 You will not eliminate disease from the world.

00:25:30.460 You will not bring your risk down to 0%,

00:25:34.200 which is what I think our utopian friends on the progressive left think that they're going to do.

00:25:40.480 And notice, by the way, our utopian friends, they always change the rules.

00:25:44.500 So first, obviously, with the masks, it was so obvious because they said,

00:25:48.060 don't wear the masks, and then they said, do wear the masks.

00:25:49.740 But even with the social distancing, one of the creepiest phrases I've ever heard,

00:25:53.720 social distance, together, apart.

00:25:57.340 These are opposite things.

00:25:59.340 They say, okay, if you're six feet apart, you're totally fine.

00:26:02.860 If you're six feet, at one point they told us, if you're six feet apart, you don't need a mask.

00:26:05.780 Then we were told by some people, if you're six feet apart, you do need a mask.

00:26:09.120 Then it's become 10 feet apart.

00:26:10.420 So the chief of staff at the White House, Mark Meadows, comes down, he's speaking to reporters,

00:26:15.640 and the microphone's near the reporters.

00:26:18.000 So what does he do?

00:26:18.560 He pulls the microphone back, 10 feet away, so that he doesn't get them all upset.

00:26:23.580 And then he takes his mask off to speak to them.

00:26:26.180 These wusses have a meltdown. 1.00

00:26:30.540 Tell you what, let me do this. 0.96

00:26:31.920 Let me pull this away.

00:26:33.040 Yep, pull away. 0.76

00:26:34.060 And then, that way I can take this off to talk.

00:26:40.380 Well, I'm more than 10 feet away.

00:26:42.860 I'm not, well, I'm not going to talk through a mask.

00:26:47.280 I'll be glad to answer your question. 0.95

00:26:51.440 Damn right. 0.99

00:26:52.600 Damn right. 0.99

00:26:53.180 I'm not going to talk through a mask. 0.98

00:26:54.580 I am not going to perform whatever liturgy of liberalism you were trying to foist on me

00:27:01.680 with no scientific basis that you're even trying to present.

00:27:07.380 Even if there were a scientific basis, we would still have to debate whether or not we

00:27:11.020 want to engage in that sort of thing as a matter of politics and ethics.

00:27:16.000 But you're not even, what scientist is saying that if I'm standing 10 feet away, I have to

00:27:21.440 wear this cloth mask or else we're all going to die.

00:27:23.280 No one is saying that.

00:27:25.040 So he says, okay, you, what, you, oh, you just want to muzzle me. 0.99

00:27:27.560 You just want me to look foolish. 0.98

00:27:29.540 Some people say, well, Mr. Meadows, why not do it? 0.99

00:27:34.020 Why not put the mask on?

00:27:36.300 Even if you're standing 10 feet away, even if when you start giving your press conference,

00:27:40.260 you're going to sound like that teacher from the Peanuts cartoons.

00:27:42.840 I should be clear from how it sounds why he shouldn't do that.

00:27:52.040 But more broadly to this point of why don't you just do it?

00:27:56.660 It's not hard.

00:27:57.420 It's not hard.

00:27:57.920 Why don't you do it?

00:27:59.560 What if the reporters said to Mark Meadows, hey, Mark Meadows, it would make us all feel

00:28:03.640 a lot better if you put a donut on your head.

00:28:07.380 I said, what?

00:28:08.880 Yeah.

00:28:09.500 Mr. Meadows, we want you to put a donut on your head.

00:28:11.800 I don't think there's any evidence that having a donut on my head is going to help you all

00:28:18.420 in any way whatsoever.

00:28:20.420 Okay.

00:28:20.860 Maybe there's not, maybe there's not evidence, but it would make us feel better.

00:28:23.960 So put the donut on your head, put the donut on your head right now.

00:28:27.960 What this has become is now it would seem very, very separate from a scientific conversation.

00:28:36.520 This is an exercise in imposing one's political will.

00:28:41.160 The World Health Organization came out and said, do not do the lockdowns.

00:28:43.860 We still have lockdowns.

00:28:44.800 Why?

00:28:46.960 Because power hungry demagogues want to flex their political power and their political

00:28:55.680 will on you.

00:28:56.720 It doesn't even have to have an object.

00:28:59.000 It doesn't even have to have a point, a specific point to the flex.

00:29:02.020 The flexing itself is enough.

00:29:04.080 And that is what the press corps was trying to do to Mark Meadows yesterday.

00:29:08.300 I'm very glad that he did not take the bait on this.

00:29:12.020 Now, some in the press are trying to reel this kind of stuff back.

00:29:17.260 They realize it doesn't play particularly well.

00:29:19.440 CNN, I don't know what's going on in CNN.

00:29:21.300 They're actually trying to moderate in the past few days.

00:29:24.120 You had Jake Tapper.

00:29:25.000 Now you have this, this woman on this anchor on CNN who is talking to Senator Mazie Hirono,

00:29:31.000 one of the least impressive members of the Senate.

00:29:34.240 And CNN actually fact-checked a Democrat.

00:29:38.680 And that, you haven't seen that a whole lot.

00:29:40.600 You haven't seen facts really rise to the top of the conversation.

00:29:45.540 Though if you do want facts to rise to the top of the conversation, you've got to check

00:29:48.800 out the Benham brothers.

00:29:50.260 You know, small businesses have taken a big hit since March and many of them are still

00:29:53.740 feeling the effects of the lockdowns.

00:29:56.500 Jeremy Boring, you know very well, the God King over here.

00:29:59.420 Jeremy's had some troubles during this coronavirus lockdown.

00:30:02.520 And Daily Wire has had a number of crises in its history, but Daily Wire has been able

00:30:06.560 to weather them, not just in COVID, but before that as well.

00:30:09.800 And right now they want to share their wisdom.

00:30:26.860 of Duck Commander and Otterbox, the Benham brothers, and many others who can relate to what

00:30:30.820 entrepreneurs and leaders are going through right now.

00:31:03.900 Also, it's baseball season.

00:31:05.640 The old glory Daily Wire baseball bat is back.

00:31:07.840 You know, we had these very briefly, very limited run just for all access members and

00:31:13.000 they sold out within 48 hours.

00:31:14.460 It's a very cool bat, custom painted with the Daily Wire logo emblazoned on it.

00:31:18.960 Well, it is back, my friends.

00:31:20.860 Now anyone can purchase it.

00:31:22.000 The inventory is limited though, so you've got to text baseball, B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L, to

00:31:27.940 H-3-4-0-0.

00:31:30.040 That is 83,400.

00:31:32.280 That is H-3-4-0-0.

00:31:34.400 Text baseball to purchase your bat today.

00:31:36.200 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:31:37.240 Credit where credit is due.

00:31:51.240 CNN actually just fact-checked a Democratic senator on the air.

00:31:56.040 Maisie Hirono was throwing around the phrase court packing, which specifically means adding 1.00

00:32:02.160 justices to the court by increasing the number of justices, right?

00:32:07.260 It does not mean filling vacancies, which is not only a constitutional right, it's a constitutional

00:32:11.740 requirement.

00:32:13.040 Court packing is a different thing when you increase the number of justices.

00:32:15.480 So she was throwing this word around.

00:32:16.640 And CNN very gently, very secretly, corrected her on the air.

00:32:21.480 I mean, obviously, just filling a vacancy right now is not what is normally referred to as

00:32:27.260 court packing.

00:32:27.980 It's adding seats.

00:32:29.740 But I think that you've said that you're open to that as well.

00:32:34.280 There are a number of things that we can talk about to reform the courts, including, by the

00:32:39.860 way, you know, we should apply strict ethics standards to Supreme Court justices. 0.99

00:32:45.680 We don't have that.

00:32:46.620 So there are any number of things that we can talk about to make sure that the Supreme Court

00:32:52.000 is not an ideologically determinative body, which, by the way, if you look at their recent

00:32:58.560 decisions, many, many five to four decisions that are very much partisan and ideologically

00:33:04.420 based, that is not what we want the Supreme Court to be.

00:33:07.020 In fact, that is not how we want our entire judiciary to be.

00:33:09.960 They should be objective, independent, not filled, as I said, with people who have an 0.96

00:33:15.340 ideological agenda.

00:33:16.880 We don't want people on the court who have an ideological agenda.

00:33:20.760 And that's why we've got to keep all the conservatives off and put all the leftists on.

00:33:25.220 Macy Hirono can't take the hint from this woman on CNN who's saying like, hey, Macy, maybe 0.88

00:33:30.720 here's a better way to go about this.

00:33:32.980 We're all on the same team here, Macy, but you're not doing this very well.

00:33:36.360 It's funny, too, because when she's talking about the ideological conformity of the court,

00:33:42.280 let's not forget the leftist judges almost 100 percent of the time vote together, even

00:33:49.920 on cases that are constitutionally preposterous, whereas the conservative judges often split

00:33:56.760 apart, break away, disagree with one another.

00:33:59.380 I'm not even making a point about how the conservatives are right and the leftists are wrong.

00:34:03.000 I'm just saying as a matter of ideological conformity, which is what Macy Hirono is talking

00:34:07.020 about, the left is purely ideological, ideologically unified, and the right breaks up and has

00:34:15.080 disagreements and someone's an originalist and someone's a textualist and the textualist

00:34:19.720 disagrees with the originalist on this.

00:34:21.240 I mean, just in this recent Supreme Court term, you had huge disagreement on the right.

00:34:26.240 So if Macy wants intellectual diversity on the court, I guess she's got to go for the 1.00

00:34:30.220 conservatives, but she's going to, she's probably not going to do that. 1.00

00:34:32.580 She probably doesn't even understand the point.

00:34:35.000 The reason I think that CNN is willing to play this a little softer now, the reason

00:34:40.320 that CNN is even willing to maybe gently correct a Democratic senator is not because they've

00:34:45.220 had some wake up call, not because they understand that the left is harming the country.

00:34:51.180 It's because they understand that the left is losing.

00:34:53.880 They're losing right now.

00:34:55.500 And maybe it doesn't seem like that because the media is putting on a good show.

00:34:58.940 Maybe it doesn't seem like that because who knows how the presidential election is going

00:35:01.640 to turn out.

00:35:02.080 But broadly speaking, on this argument, on the court argument, on the Amy Coney Barrett

00:35:07.420 argument, on the radicalism argument, the left is losing.

00:35:12.760 Here's an important poll.

00:35:14.140 We've been reading some of the polls all the time.

00:35:17.200 Here's an important one that doesn't even mention the phrase Trump or Biden, but it tells

00:35:23.520 you a lot.

00:35:24.020 And I suspect it might have something to do with the election.

00:35:27.960 Gallup asks people, are you better off now than you were four years ago?

00:35:33.820 This was Ronald Reagan's famous line in a presidential debate.

00:35:36.820 It's up there.

00:35:37.400 He goes, well, he's got Jimmy Carter over.

00:35:39.980 He goes, you've got to ask yourself one simple question.

00:35:43.400 Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

00:35:47.280 Right.

00:35:47.420 Because that's the, that's the, that's what you have to know.

00:35:50.700 If you're, if, if you're running against an incumbent, you say, are you better off now

00:35:54.760 than you were four years ago?

00:35:55.740 And the answer is no, then you've got to vote for the alternative.

00:35:58.760 And if you are the incumbent, are you better off now than you were four years ago?

00:36:03.120 Well, the answer better be yes.

00:36:05.720 The answer for this incumbent, President Trump, is yes.

00:36:08.800 56% of people in a survey taken September 14th through the 28th,

00:36:13.600 which obviously is way into the coronavirus lockdowns, right?

00:36:18.060 This is not while the economy was still booming.

00:36:19.980 This is very recently, this poll was taken.

00:36:22.680 And still, even with the country shut down, the economy, tons of people out of work.

00:36:27.800 Are you better off now than you were four years ago?

00:36:30.000 56% Americans say, yes, they are better off.

00:36:32.940 They are better off even in a pandemic under Trump than they were under Obama.

00:36:38.800 That's compared to just under a third, 32% who say that they are not better off than they were

00:36:45.160 four years ago.

00:36:47.040 How about on the other degrees of radicalism?

00:36:49.400 Obviously, we have BLM burning down the country.

00:36:51.560 That doesn't play very well for the left.

00:36:53.180 But even on some of these, these wacky sexual issues, they divide us on race.

00:36:58.520 They divide us on sex. 0.60

00:36:59.880 On the sexual issues, I don't think this is playing well in Peoria.

00:37:03.500 I'll give you just an example.

00:37:04.840 There's a book review out in the New York Times called,

00:37:06.560 Are Straight People Okay?, and other questions about love and sexuality based on some book

00:37:13.360 castigating marriage.

00:37:14.540 Here's just a quick line.

00:37:16.620 In examining the pressure to partner with the opposite gender, we find the extortions 1.00

00:37:20.880 of capitalism, the misogyny of violence against women, the racist and xenophobic erasure of

00:37:26.700 non-white families, and the homophobic hatreds that pervade so much of everyday life.

00:37:32.780 This is not outlier in leftist discourse.

00:37:38.700 This is not an outlier.

00:37:40.000 This is the mainstream.

00:37:41.160 This is what you see broadcast during these crazy rallies.

00:37:44.640 This is even what you see on presidential debate stages among the Democratic Party.

00:37:49.100 You remember when Julian Castro, when he was still running for president, he said, we need

00:37:53.580 to support abortion rights, we need to support abortion justice, not just for women, but for

00:37:59.780 trans women, meaning men who put on dresses, who I guess can have abortions. 0.98

00:38:06.160 Now, I don't know how that's possible. 0.95

00:38:07.740 This kind of gobbledygook of leftist jargon, the misogyny of violence against women, racist, 0.65

00:38:15.700 xenophobic erasure of non-white family. 0.85

00:38:19.200 How do you, what, huh?

00:38:20.040 What is that?

00:38:21.460 Homophobic hatreds and blah, blah, blah.

00:38:23.840 Just complete, complete fictive gobbledygook.

00:38:27.000 And I think a lot of Americans who are not steeped in this kind of radical ideology look

00:38:32.820 at that and say, huh, I got one guy telling me make America great again.

00:38:37.060 I got one guy talking to me about the erasure of the cis, trans, non-binary, non-white, misogynistic,

00:38:45.800 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:38:47.580 I think I'm going to vote for that guy.

00:38:48.940 The one who I can understand, you know, the one who's speaking simple English, who says

00:38:52.940 like, don't burn down the country.

00:38:54.540 Yeah, I think that guy, that guy is more persuasive.

00:38:57.300 This is how President Trump, who has many personal foibles, was able to win in 2016.

00:39:05.720 This, this is what the media didn't get.

00:39:07.940 A lot of the never Trump right never understood this.

00:39:10.140 They thought that President Trump won because he's got this mean personality. 0.99

00:39:15.760 He's a real angry, mean, cruel guy. 0.84

00:39:18.740 And he won in spite of the policy offerings and his kind of basic view of the country. 0.87

00:39:23.900 It was the opposite.

00:39:25.660 Ann Coulter wrote a great book about this with a very funny title, In Trump We Trust,

00:39:28.640 E Pluribus Awesome.

00:39:29.960 But it actually was a pretty, pretty solid book and it made a very good argument, which is

00:39:34.960 people voted for Trump often in spite of his personality because of his policies, because

00:39:42.140 he said, make America great again.

00:39:43.340 That's not a Trump original.

00:39:44.400 He took that from Ronald Reagan, but Trump has a good ear.

00:39:47.280 He has a good ear for the culture and he realizes that that, that idea resonates.

00:39:51.240 They voted for Trump.

00:39:52.180 Trump might be talking about Mika Brzezinski's face and maybe that's a little distasteful,

00:39:56.060 but he hugs the American flag and he says he's going to protect manufacturing jobs.

00:40:00.500 Other Republicans were not going to protect manufacturing jobs.

00:40:02.820 He loves the country and he says, you know, we all bleed the same blood of patriots and

00:40:08.100 we should have no racial division, but also we should have a national border.

00:40:12.240 Other Republicans were not really saying that as much.

00:40:15.800 That kind of common sense rings a lot truer, I think.

00:40:18.480 You know, on this, on this issue of the crazy sexual politics, there is a truly disturbing

00:40:23.240 story just came out of Iowa.

00:40:24.980 There was a little girl in Iowa whose parents were ne'er-do-wells and so she was going to

00:40:33.220 be adopted by her great-grandparents.

00:40:35.040 This is a one-year-old girl.

00:40:36.740 So her great-grandparents had to apply to the state just to make sure this paperwork worked

00:40:41.020 because the kid's parents were not able to take care of her.

00:40:44.140 The United States district judge reversed this decision to allow the great-grandparents to

00:40:54.760 take care of her, holding that the state regular, so, so I'm sorry, let me rewind.

00:40:59.940 You've got the kid who's going to the state, the foster system.

00:41:05.380 The great-great, the great-grandparents try to adopt the kid.

00:41:07.880 It's a little bit confusing.

00:41:08.580 Then the state comes in and says, no, you can't adopt the kid because you have oppressive

00:41:14.880 sexual views.

00:41:16.500 Here are some of the questions that they had to answer according to the political correct

00:41:21.000 orthodoxy if they wanted to adopt their great-granddaughter.

00:41:25.200 How would we react if the daughter was a lesbian? 1.00

00:41:28.460 Would we allow the daughter to have a girl spend the night at our home as our girl's romantic 0.98

00:41:33.920 partner?

00:41:34.280 If at 15 years old, this little girl wanted to undergo hormone therapy to change her sexual 1.00

00:41:39.180 appearance, would we support that decision and transport her for those treatments?

00:41:43.700 If as a teenager, this little girl wanted to dress as a boy and be called a boy's name,

00:41:47.300 would we accept her decision and allow her to act in that manner? 0.86

00:41:53.620 If you don't say that you are willing to let your adopted daughter have her lesbian girlfriend 0.97

00:42:00.140 come and sleep over at age 15, if you don't say that you will allow your adopted daughter 0.99

00:42:05.000 to inject hormones into herself to appear cosmetically more like a boy, now, according 0.88

00:42:11.340 to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, you're not allowed to adopt that daughter.

00:42:20.420 Goodness gracious.

00:42:21.260 Thankfully, as I mentioned, another government agency came in, namely the judiciary actually

00:42:28.200 came in and reversed that decision for now, for now.

00:42:32.260 How long before this is replicated all over the country?

00:42:35.440 Idaho, I thought, was a pretty conservative place.

00:42:38.400 I mean, imagine, you know, when I was a kid, if I was 15 and I said, hey, mom, I want my

00:42:42.180 girlfriend to spend the night.

00:42:43.800 She would have smacked me. 0.81

00:42:45.120 Are you kidding me?

00:42:46.220 But now, now this is a human right, I guess.

00:42:48.860 You're not allowed to adopt otherwise.

00:42:50.560 I think people are looking at some of those stories and saying, this is not the country

00:42:54.680 that I want to live in.

00:42:56.360 And I don't care what Donald Trump tweets and I don't care how nice good old Joe looks.

00:43:03.460 If those are the two visions of America, I want to go with make America great again.

00:43:10.060 That's what people are showing Joe Biden on the campaign trail.

00:43:13.620 Joe Biden was just doing an event in Toledo, Ohio.

00:43:16.060 He came out, he gave his kind of stump speech.

00:43:18.860 And Trump supporters chanted four more years in the background.

00:43:24.000 Well, all kidding aside, Tony, thank you for hosting us.

00:43:26.680 And thank you for Local 14.

00:43:29.040 And Kenyan.

00:43:29.960 And you can hear some horns.

00:43:31.100 In fact, it's a little hard to hear because it's off my groin here.

00:43:32.980 Four more years, four more years.

00:43:35.400 Who knows how big this crowd was?

00:43:36.940 I imagine it was relatively, relatively small.

00:43:40.180 So it's not looking good for Joe Biden.

00:43:42.160 And some leftists are getting irritated by this.

00:43:44.360 You're seeing the radical left trying to push all this crazy gobbledygook about how you've got to trans your kid and how you've got to, you know, do all of these extraordinary radical measures.

00:43:57.640 And then you've got the more moderate wing, like Allison, I think it was Allison Camerota, whoever it was on CNN saying, hey, come on, stop saying that stuff, Maisie. 0.58

00:44:05.780 Don't go that far.

00:44:07.200 Be a little bit more moderate.

00:44:08.660 We've got an election going on.

00:44:10.040 And that's the debate that's going on.

00:44:11.440 Noam Chomsky, who's a radical leftist and public intellectual for the last 700 years.

00:44:17.480 He just got into a bit of a debate about this sort of issue with a radical leftist from the Bernie Sanders campaign.

00:44:25.960 And Chomsky actually played the role of the moderate here because Chomsky understands in politics, you don't win by losing.

00:44:32.760 What you're saying, if you think it through, is we should help Trump win because maybe in the long run, that'll affect the Democratic Party.

00:44:43.500 That's a terrible choice.

00:44:45.240 Helping Trump win, as you're proposing, would mean four more years of destruction of the environment, getting possibly to tipping points, which would be irreversible, certainly making any effort to deal with it very difficult.

00:45:02.500 It would mean stacking the judiciary with young, ultra-right lawyers, top to bottom, so that nothing would be possibly done for a generation.

00:45:14.120 And I can go on and on.

00:45:16.440 I don't think that's a wise choice, just on the hope that maybe sometime in the long term, the Democratic Party will pay attention to the fact that you're part of the 50% of non-voters.

00:45:29.160 So a great point, and the woman that he was speaking with pushed back, said, no, the time is now.

00:45:36.720 We've got to take a stand and kill our chances of winning in this election, and then later maybe we'll win.

00:45:43.320 The never-Trump-right made the same argument in 2016.

00:45:45.920 And I understand the appeal of the argument.

00:45:47.700 The appeal is, okay, things aren't going the way I want them to, so the best thing to do is to lose.

00:45:54.180 It's better to lose and then regroup, and then in four years or eight years, then we can win.

00:46:01.140 You know, winning is a little tricky.

00:46:03.700 I like the idea that people who can't win now are going to tell us how to win in four years or eight years.

00:46:09.360 That's not how it works.

00:46:11.260 Politics is a messy thing.

00:46:12.740 The way you win is by winning, and when you lose, you can't predict what's going to happen next.

00:46:20.180 You've got to take the wins as you get them.

00:46:22.400 That's why the smarter people in the Democratic Party realize we've really got to win this thing.

00:46:28.420 We're really on the ropes here.

00:46:29.840 We can't just count on what happens after this aberration of a politician, Donald Trump, goes away.

00:46:35.860 That's why I think they're going to hang back on the Amy Barrett hearings.

00:46:38.860 I don't think it's going to be a particularly vicious hearing, at least compared to, say, Breit Kavanaugh.

00:46:45.980 I think they know they've lost this thing, and they don't really care about this seat all that much.

00:46:50.020 They want to keep their eyes on the prize on November 3rd, and the judiciary might play a role in that if they challenge it in court.

00:46:57.200 So in any case, we're headed for a mess, and I don't think any side is going to throw up their hands and say,

00:47:02.100 we'll win it next time.

00:47:03.080 They know we've got to win it now.
