00:00:37.680 At Thursday's town hall, NBC moderator Savannah Guthrie finally, finally asked President Trump an important question that he's never answered, that he refuses to answer.

00:00:49.540 A question that is at the top of everybody's mind.

00:00:52.940 You were asked point blank to denounce white supremacy.

00:00:56.400 In the moment, you didn't.

00:00:59.020 You asked some follow-up questions.

00:01:00.500 Who specifically?

00:01:01.880 A couple of days later, on a different show, you denounced white supremacy.

00:01:06.120 No, you always did.

00:01:06.500 My question to you is, what does it seem like—

00:01:09.560 I denounce white supremacy, okay?

00:01:11.780 You did two days later.

00:01:12.960 I denounce white supremacy for years.

00:01:14.820 But you always do it.

00:01:16.200 You always start off with a question.

00:01:17.360 Well—

00:01:17.760 You didn't ask Joe Biden whether or not he denounces Antifa.

00:01:21.660 I watched him on the same basic show with Lester Holt, and he was asking questions like Biden was a child.

00:01:28.040 Well, so this is a little bit of a dog.

00:01:30.260 Are you listening? 0.97

00:01:31.720 I denounce white supremacy.

00:01:33.500 Okay.

00:01:33.760 What's your next question?

00:01:34.580 Do you feel—it feels sometimes you're hesitant to do so.

00:01:38.000 Like, you're way to beat.

00:01:38.540 Here we go again.

00:01:39.260 It just feels like—I know you've just denounced white supremacy five times, but it just feels like you don't want to—do you want—will you do it?

00:01:48.040 Do you still beat your wife?

00:01:49.120 Do you still beat your wife? 0.79

00:01:51.240 Ah, there are no moderators left.

00:01:54.180 There are no moderators left at NBC.

00:01:56.360 There are no moderators left in the mainstream media.

00:01:58.740 There are no moderators left in our culture.

00:02:02.540 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:02:03.280 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:09.260 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:12.680 My favorite comment from last week from Sunshine Coolwater, who says,

00:02:16.660 It wasn't a smoking gun, more like a smoking pipe.

00:02:21.120 Oh, that's not nice.

00:02:22.720 That has to do with the Hunter Biden story, which we will get to, because the Hunter Biden messaging, the media obviously are trying to suppress this.

00:02:30.600 They are not allowing it to be posted on social media platforms.

00:02:34.280 Finally, they had to relent a little bit, but they're still banning people for posting about it.

00:02:37.880 And you're hearing two things.

00:02:39.660 You're hearing, one, this is false Russian misinformation.

00:02:43.440 And then on the other hand, you're saying, but some of the emails make him look good.

00:02:46.900 And you say, well, hold on.

00:02:47.600 Wait a second.

00:02:48.060 Are the emails and the texts from Hunter Biden, are they true or are they false?

00:02:51.380 If they're false and they're Russian misinformation, that's one thing.

00:02:53.940 But if they're true, then we have to look into the allegations.

00:02:56.440 But basically what they want to say is the damning ones that talk about Hunter Biden getting bought off by the Chinese and by other people around the world, the Ukrainians, and selling his dad's influence, those are fake.

00:03:08.440 But the ones that make him look good, those are real.

00:03:11.020 We'll get into what's real.

00:03:12.320 Well, it's very difficult, the communication these days, because obviously there are a lot of people who do not want to be able to communicate the real information that's going on in this election.

00:03:24.700 Now, if you want to be able to communicate in a very inexpensive and effective way, you need Pure Talk USA.

00:03:30.480 If your cellular plan is with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, you are simply paying way, way too much for the exact same coverage that you would be getting right now with Pure Talk.

00:03:41.940 The average person who switches to Pure Talk is using less than four gigs of data per month, but the big carriers are charging you for unlimited data.

00:03:49.260 That is how Pure Talk saves the average person over $400 per year on their wireless service for exactly the same network.

00:03:57.480 I know what you're hearing is like, well, it's a similar kind of network.

00:04:01.580 No, it's using the exact same network as one of those carriers.

00:04:04.640 You get unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data, all for just $20 per month.

00:04:09.980 And if you go over your data usage, they won't charge you for it.

00:04:14.280 How crazy is that?

00:04:15.340 It's unbelievable.

00:04:16.900 Head on over.

00:04:17.580 You're just throwing money away right now.

00:04:19.480 If you do not go to Pure Talk USA, get your mobile phone, dial pound 250 and say Michael Knowles.

00:04:25.520 When you do, you will save 50% off your first month.

00:04:28.540 Dial pound 250.

00:04:30.760 Say keyword Michael Knowles.

00:04:32.500 Pure Talk.

00:04:33.000 Simply smarter wireless.

00:04:37.400 The town halls last week were very, very different.

00:04:41.480 You had the Trump town hall, which was actually a debate with the moderator, quote unquote, Savannah Guthrie.

00:04:46.360 Then you had the Biden town hall, which was a total snooze fest.

00:04:48.880 The reason we had the town halls at all is because the Democrats chickened out of the presidential debates.

00:04:53.560 There was supposed to be a second presidential debate, but then the presidential debate commission insisted that it be virtual, insisted that there be all these different safeguards because Trump had coronavirus a while ago.

00:05:06.440 He obviously doesn't have it anymore.

00:05:08.780 And so because the Dems wanted to chicken out, they had these two town halls instead, which were not virtual, which were in person, which shows you what a lie it was that they used to try to get out of the debates.

00:05:18.380 The town hall that President Trump attended was much more hostile than any debate could have been.

00:05:24.960 They realized that Joe Biden can't string two sentences together, so they decided to put in this relatively younger woman, Savannah Guthrie, to pretend to be a moderator, but actually to be the debate partner. 0.78

00:05:35.300 So she opens up this town hall where she's supposed to be fielding questions from everyone in the audience. 1.00

00:05:39.680 She opens up on maybe the question people care least about, which is the timeline of President Trump getting tested for coronavirus.

00:05:51.160 When was your last negative test?

00:05:53.420 When did you last remember having a negative test?

00:05:56.760 Well, I test quite a bit.

00:05:58.280 And I can tell you that before the debate, which I thought it was a very good debate and I felt fantastically, I was I had no problem before.

00:06:06.380 Did you test the day of the debate?

00:06:07.820 I don't know. I don't even remember. I test all the time.

00:06:10.500 But I can tell you this.

00:06:12.400 After the debate, like, I guess, a day or so, I think it was Thursday evening, maybe even late Thursday evening, I tested positive.

00:06:21.800 That's when I first found out.

00:06:23.060 Well, back to the debate, because the debate commission's rules, it was the honor system, be that you would come with a negative test.

00:06:28.900 You say you don't know if you got a test on the day of the debate?

00:06:31.340 I have no problem. Again, the doctors do it. I don't ask them. I test all the time.

00:06:35.240 Did you take a test, though, on the day of the debate?

00:06:37.940 You know, if you ask the doctor, they give you a perfect answer.

00:06:40.100 I love this exchange because, of course, nobody cares about this at all.

00:06:43.680 Trump says, look, I tested positive on this day, but that was after the debate.

00:06:47.500 She says, but when did you test negative on the day of the debate?

00:06:50.180 He's like, I don't know. I test like three times a day.

00:06:51.940 How am I supposed to know?

00:06:52.980 And she's trying to back him into a corner where either he contradicts himself or he tells some lie or you get some doctor in the White House to say he did take a test at this hour, but not at this hour.

00:07:00.960 Some nonsense. So Trump is just sitting there. He's he's pushing it out very well because he's just observing.

00:07:06.700 Nobody cares about this other than the media who are trying to entrap him.

00:07:10.240 So then when that when that path doesn't work, when the idea that Trump gave the virus to, I don't know, Joe Biden or Chris Wallace, which obviously didn't happen, by the way.

00:07:19.740 So the question is totally pointless. 1.00

00:07:21.240 Then she starts to harangue him about those stupid masks. 1.00

00:07:24.540 But Trump gives an answer here that he's been a little off on some of the mask messaging over the past six or nine months. 1.00

00:07:31.880 This answer gets to the heart of the issue of the masks.

00:07:37.180 As president, I can't be locked in a room someplace for the next year and just say and do nothing.

00:07:42.780 And every time I go into a crowd, I was with the parents of our fallen heroes.

00:07:48.840 These people are the most incredible people.

00:07:51.240 And they came up to me and they would hug me and they would touch me.

00:07:55.380 And I'm not going to not let them do it.

00:07:58.380 Now, there was an event with the Gold Star families the day after the Supreme Court event.

00:08:02.660 A Gold Star event with the most incredible people you've ever seen.

00:08:06.180 And I could have chosen not to talk to them or to keep everybody away.

00:08:10.460 And you know what?

00:08:11.700 As I don't think that's probably where it was caught, but maybe it was.

00:08:15.200 Well, I was going to say, you bring it up. You brought it up yourself.

00:08:17.520 I mean, are you trying to suggest that?

00:08:18.960 Do you believe a grieving military family gave you COVID?

00:08:21.700 No, I don't know where it came from.

00:08:23.340 You don't know where it came from.

00:08:24.720 And the doctors don't know where it came from.

00:08:26.680 You're right. You don't want to.

00:08:27.640 You want to be a leader.

00:08:28.740 But you also are a leader and a setter of an example.

00:08:31.560 And if you're not wearing a mask when your administration is saying best practice right now is wear a mask.

00:08:36.420 No, it's not foolproof. 0.93

00:08:37.420 So, completely ridiculous line of questioning.

00:08:42.100 First of all, Trump makes this point on the masks that I think is hugely important. 1.00

00:08:47.940 The masks are very, very dumb. 1.00

00:08:49.840 They're extremely dumb. 1.00

00:08:51.540 I'm not making a scientific statement. 1.00

00:08:53.120 I'm making a political and a philosophical statement. 0.99

00:08:55.660 The masks are dumb because we're humans. 0.98

00:08:58.320 We're social creatures. 1.00

00:08:59.500 We get a lot of our cues from how people smile.

00:09:01.820 We like to see, aren't smiles nice?

00:09:03.300 We speak.

00:09:04.720 Speech is the thing that makes us human and separates us from the animals.

00:09:10.040 Speech.

00:09:10.500 Aristotle has written about this.

00:09:12.020 Oh, we've known about this for the whole history of our civilization.

00:09:15.160 Speech.

00:09:15.820 And when you muzzle people and you cut off their mouths and you block their face and you view individuals as though they're walking piles of germs,

00:09:22.900 that breaks down society.

00:09:24.560 And man is a social creature.

00:09:26.260 And I don't care.

00:09:27.320 I don't care.

00:09:28.180 I mentioned this on my show a couple weeks ago.

00:09:29.620 Now, if you told me right now, you can extend your life by five years or you can wear a potato sack over your head for the rest of your life.

00:09:38.440 You can wear, you can, you, you will live longer if you, if you wear the potato sack or you can shorten your life by five years and not wear the potato sack.

00:09:48.220 You know what I'm going to do?

00:09:49.760 I'm going to, I'm going to take the, I'm going to lose the five years.

00:09:52.000 Okay.

00:09:52.360 Because I want to see people and I don't want us to all view each other like walking piles of germs.

00:09:56.560 Now, of course, that the scientific question isn't, isn't even that dichotomy because as, as the CDC pointed out, we mentioned this on the show last week,

00:10:05.340 85% of people who are testing positive for the virus report wearing their masks always or often.

00:10:11.180 3.9% of people who are diagnosed with COVID are saying that they never wear their masks.

00:10:16.740 So the issue of the masks is one that is very complicated.

00:10:20.880 Dr. Fauci has said from the beginning that people don't wear them correctly, which makes it an issue.

00:10:24.620 There was the, the epidemiologist at Columbia who told NPR that the reason the masks fail in studies is because people don't wear them right.

00:10:30.240 So there are all these sort of scientific issues, but that's not the point Trump is making.

00:10:32.900 He's saying, look, there's a grieving family that wants to hug me. 0.99

00:10:35.740 I'm not going to tell them no because of this stupid virus that has a higher than 99% survival rate. 1.00

00:10:40.260 Okay. I don't even care that I'm, I'm older and I'm, I'm at a greater risk and I'm the president of the United States. 0.99

00:10:44.920 Some grieving family wants to hug me.

00:10:46.620 I'm not going to say no germs go away.

00:10:49.880 And what does Savannah got?

00:10:50.940 She says, you're saying that you got COVID from a grieving family?

00:10:54.400 He goes, no, I never said that.

00:10:55.440 What are you talking about?

00:10:56.840 And then, and then she hits another point, which is a key here.

00:11:00.360 Again, not to the science, but to the politics.

00:11:02.920 She says, your administration is saying to wear the masks.

00:11:07.220 So why won't you wear the masks?

00:11:08.660 And, and I just thought that question sums up the left's view of politics,

00:11:13.140 which is that our duly elected representatives should have no say over our politics.

00:11:17.760 The administration should, meaning the bureaucracy, meaning the deep state, meaning the experts.

00:11:24.500 They should be able to tell the duly elected president of the United States what to do.

00:11:28.360 I don't give a damn what the Trump administration is doing.

00:11:31.660 I didn't vote for the administration. 0.55

00:11:33.320 I voted for Trump.

00:11:34.860 He's the guy.

00:11:35.960 That should have been his answer there.

00:11:37.360 He's like, oh yeah, you're going to, I got to listen to my subordinates.

00:11:40.720 I don't think so, sister.

00:11:42.560 No way.

00:11:44.080 But I'm glad he's getting to the point here because if we go tit for tat over, well,

00:11:47.920 this study says the masks are 2% effective.

00:11:50.040 Well, this study says the masks are 50% effective.

00:11:52.220 It's just, that's a losing game.

00:11:53.680 Who cares?

00:11:53.860 That's not the point.

00:11:55.280 The point is what society do you want to live in?

00:11:57.100 Do you want to live in a society where we're social again,

00:12:00.100 where we see each other and we see smiling faces down the street?

00:12:02.840 You know, there was a protest outside of a nursing home just last week.

00:12:08.000 And it was older people saying the only thing we look forward to are hugs from our loved ones. 1.00

00:12:13.520 And you psychos won't let us get them because of your stupid priorities. 1.00

00:12:19.760 And because you've outsourced all of our political and philosophical questions 1.00

00:12:23.280 to a bunch of eggheads in lab coats who don't understand that I don't really care. 0.56

00:12:27.580 I don't really care if I can extend my life an extra six months but not ever get a hug or be near my family again.

00:12:36.400 Trump, Trump finally now getting that argument.

00:12:39.400 That's the argument that I think we've got to push.

00:12:42.160 Then, of course, Savannah gets on to the really, really important issues.

00:12:46.180 You know, the issues that are at the top of it, much more than white supremacy even.

00:12:49.740 The issues that are at the top of everybody's mind, namely a meme going around the internet,

00:12:55.120 which we will get to, but you've got to recognize here that there is good information

00:13:01.560 and there is pointless information all over the internet, okay?

00:13:04.580 And we waste a lot of our time on the pointless information,

00:13:07.860 but you can occasionally get information that will help your life and your business,

00:13:11.860 namely expert ownership live.

00:13:15.120 Small businesses have taken a battering since March, okay?

00:13:18.280 Many of them are still feeling the effects of these lockdowns.

00:13:21.180 Jeremy Boring, who runs this ship over here, the Daily Wire,

00:13:24.100 has talked about how the company was on the brink a number of times.

00:13:28.280 Even when the company was doing well, it was on the brink sometimes

00:13:30.660 because all businesses go through these kinds of crises.

00:13:33.880 We're very excited to tell you that this Wednesday,

00:13:36.140 Daily Wire God King Jeremy Boring is going to be presenting alongside a team

00:13:51.240 the Benham Brothers, and many others who can relate to what entrepreneurs

00:13:54.380 and leaders are going through right now.

00:13:57.020 They will share stories about their own businesses, startup journeys,

00:13:59.520 the tough times that come along with those, with any company at all,

00:14:03.940 and how they were able to come out the other side of a crisis

00:14:42.060 After all the ridiculous hectoring about the masks and about the COVID tests,

00:14:49.680 then Savannah gets into the real issues.

00:14:52.840 Because, you know, what I think we're all,

00:14:56.020 we all want to talk about right now is QAnon, right?

00:14:59.700 We were supposed to, as mentioned, be watching you on a debate stage right now.

00:15:04.040 We're not doing that, so let's clear up a few things from the last one.

00:15:06.960 Hold it right there.

00:15:07.580 We are watching that right now.

00:15:10.200 We are watching a debate.

00:15:11.700 We're not watching a moderated town hall.

00:15:14.240 We are watching some NBC Democrat hack grilling the president.

00:15:19.540 For at this point, it's been over 10 minutes at this point.

00:15:21.680 She's still grilling the guy and debating him point for point.

00:15:25.740 But we have to get to that important question, right?

00:15:28.780 I know you wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.

00:15:30.600 You say, what does Trump think about QAnon?

00:15:34.820 Please, I need to know.

00:15:36.000 Oh, well, good. Savannah asks the question.

00:15:38.460 Frankly, you want to know something?

00:15:40.460 I denounce Antifa, and I denounce these people on the left

00:15:43.880 that are burning down our cities that are run by Democrats

00:15:46.580 who don't know what they're doing.

00:15:47.480 While we're denouncing, let me ask you about QAnon. 0.98

00:15:50.200 It is this theory that Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring 0.93

00:15:56.740 and that you are the savior of that. 0.93

00:15:59.560 Now, can you just once and for all state that that is completely not true

00:16:06.000 and that it's disavowed QAnon in its entirety?

00:16:09.300 I know nothing about QAnon.

00:16:11.420 I just told you.

00:16:12.160 I know very little.

00:16:12.900 You told me, but what you tell me doesn't necessarily make it fact.

00:16:16.240 I hate to say that.

00:16:17.600 That is very much the case.

00:16:19.740 It's funny because before Savannah asked the question,

00:16:21.820 I thought, oh, QAnon, I don't really know what that is.

00:16:24.380 But, you know, it sounds kind of kooky.

00:16:25.860 And so, yeah, I totally reject that.

00:16:27.600 But then she explained it. 0.99

00:16:29.160 She says Democrats are a satanic pedophile ring 0.99

00:16:31.840 and Trump is stopping them. 0.98

00:16:32.800 And I thought, oh, well, sort of checks out to me.

00:16:37.060 Maybe where, hold on, where's the kooky part? 1.00

00:16:41.360 She's, it's obviously such a stupid question. 0.99

00:16:44.420 The people, they're dying to know what you think about QAnon, 1.00

00:16:48.240 you know, this like internet thing.

00:16:49.660 And Trump says, well, I don't know about that.

00:16:51.680 And she goes, well, okay, I'll tell you.

00:16:53.860 Disavow it though.

00:16:54.580 And he's like, well, I don't know.

00:16:55.760 I don't trust you. 1.00

00:16:56.500 You're a liar. 0.99

00:16:57.400 And I don't think anyone really cares about the QAnon thing. 0.99

00:17:00.540 So, no, but you have to disavow it.

00:17:03.220 Please disavow it.

00:17:04.280 You must, Mr. Trump.

00:17:05.760 Of course, QAnon is not, is not an issue.

00:17:09.260 By the way, you know, the minute that Trump disavows QAnon,

00:17:14.440 they're going to accuse him of supporting Satanism and pedophilia, right?

00:17:17.320 Because if QAnon is anti-Satanism and anti-pedophilia,

00:17:21.140 then you know, the minute he says, okay, I disavow, 0.58

00:17:22.900 they're like, well, why are you a pedophile?

00:17:24.420 Why do you support Satan? 0.90

00:17:25.680 What are you, what you just told me to disavow it?

00:17:29.640 During this entire exchange, which by the way, went on for 20 minutes,

00:17:34.440 20 minutes before they took a single question from the audience.

00:17:38.320 The whole point was to go there.

00:17:39.820 No debating.

00:17:40.660 Just, you start taking questions from the audience.

00:17:42.140 Goes on 20 minutes.

00:17:42.880 There was a woman behind them, this black woman wearing a mask. 0.77

00:17:46.560 And she's sort of nodding along and the media were so upset that anyone could even be seen

00:17:51.400 to maybe tacitly agree with Trump that they started going after this woman.

00:17:56.080 Sarah Cooper, who's some blue check chickie on, on Twitter, tweets out, 1.00

00:18:00.200 a parody of Taken about a black woman who follows Trump around nodding at everything he says.

00:18:04.120 It's called Token.

00:18:05.840 Haha, get it? 0.99

00:18:06.940 But it's very fun to make fun of black women who support Republicans 1.00

00:18:11.840 because black women are supposed to be owned by Democrats. 1.00

00:18:14.620 You're not allowed. 1.00

00:18:15.640 You're not allowed to be a black woman and support a Republican. 1.00

00:18:18.060 That's wrong. 1.00

00:18:18.700 We can make fun of you. 0.94

00:18:19.680 We can mock you for your race. 1.00

00:18:21.340 We can mock you for your sex. 1.00

00:18:22.960 We can mock you for anything. 0.99

00:18:24.700 We white leftists. 0.97

00:18:26.200 Because you're ours.

00:18:27.560 You're supposed to be ours.

00:18:28.220 You're not supposed to be conservative.

00:18:30.500 CNN ran a whole segment furious about this woman. 1.00

00:18:33.840 And they tried to insinuate that this was a nefarious plot.

00:18:36.900 The fact that this woman was there actually violated the rules of the town hall.

00:18:40.820 As the president was questioned on a range of topics,

00:18:43.360 Jolie could be seen nodding as Trump answered.

00:18:46.120 Despite the town hall event being billed as an audience of undecided voters,

00:18:49.800 Jolie is actually a Trump supporter who ran for Congress as a pro-Trump candidate in 2018.

00:18:55.180 Well, they got him.

00:18:55.900 They got him then, right?

00:18:56.660 Because this was supposed to be a town hall for undecided voters.

00:19:00.440 And this woman, they found out through their sleuthing, was a Trump supporter in 2016.

00:19:05.340 Now, I know that at past town hall debates, like with Joe Biden, they've had multiple undecided voters

00:19:12.440 who turned out to be Biden supporters, avowed Biden supporters who've spoken on air about how

00:19:16.360 they support Biden.

00:19:17.360 But that's fine.

00:19:18.660 We don't need to cover that story.

00:19:19.940 They got him dead to rights, right?

00:19:22.120 They got him.

00:19:22.460 This was supposed to be a town hall for undecided voters.

00:19:25.420 And the woman there supported Trump.

00:19:29.040 Except, oh, except the town hall wasn't for undecided voters.

00:19:33.560 This audience looks a bit like America. 0.60

00:19:36.180 It's divided.

00:19:37.160 Some here voted for the president in 2016 and plan to again.

00:19:40.780 Some support Joe Biden.

00:19:42.400 And some say they are truly undecided.

00:19:44.640 We're going to get a mix of questions on a range of topics.

00:19:47.040 So, oh, some people there supported Trump like that woman, but CNN couldn't be bothered to 0.98

00:19:53.040 Google it.

00:19:53.780 Or maybe they did.

00:19:54.580 Maybe they knew the truth and they just wanted to lie about it because when the story doesn't

00:19:58.120 fit their narrative, they just go on and make it up.

00:20:02.640 That was the tenor of the night.

00:20:04.300 And Trump did very well at this, I thought.

00:20:06.300 He did much better at this town hall, which was really a debate, than he did at the last

00:20:09.800 debate.

00:20:10.660 And I suspect he would have done better at a Joe Biden debate than he would have done at

00:20:15.700 the last debate, too.

00:20:17.360 Incumbents often lose their first debate.

00:20:20.760 I don't think Trump lost.

00:20:21.660 I just don't think he didn't.

00:20:22.540 He didn't come off very well at that debate because he kept interrupting.

00:20:25.600 And he had a good strategy for the first 10 minutes or so.

00:20:28.200 And then the rest, it kind of fell apart.

00:20:29.780 But I think he probably would have done much better at a second debate.

00:20:32.000 Now they're going to try to pull this debate, the third debate, away from them.

00:20:35.300 They're already switching it so that it's no longer a foreign policy debate because

00:20:39.080 Joe Biden just got nailed on corruption in Ukraine and in China.

00:20:42.360 So they're saying, well, we can't talk about foreign policy, then we'll move on from

00:20:45.480 there.

00:20:47.820 There's a Biden town hall, which was a complete snooze fest.

00:20:50.520 They went right into questions with voters.

00:20:52.080 Nobody.

00:20:52.900 There was no 20 minute long debate before before the town hall.

00:20:56.480 There was one moment, though, that was really disturbing, which is some woman stands up and

00:21:01.880 says that her little children are transgender and wants to know Joe Biden's thoughts on

00:21:07.300 transing little kids.

00:21:09.060 And he he gave the wrong answer.

00:21:12.120 I'm the proud mom of two girls, eight and 10.

00:21:16.760 My youngest daughter is transgender.

00:21:19.380 She isn't.

00:21:20.460 She isn't.

00:21:21.000 She isn't a she. 1.00

00:21:21.580 I mean, if she's saying if this woman is saying that her youngest daughter is transgender, what

00:21:25.900 she's saying is she has a little eight year old boy and she's pretending that that little

00:21:29.180 eight year old boy is a girl.

00:21:30.520 But the little boy isn't a girl.

00:21:32.420 The little boy is a boy barely capable of reason at age eight, well below the age of

00:21:38.460 consent, 10 years below the age of consent.

00:21:40.600 And this woman is an abusive mother who's damaging her little son. 1.00

00:21:43.900 And I don't know why she's doing that, but it is truly, truly awful.

00:21:48.800 And if there is ever a role for the state to get involved, it's when parents are abusing

00:21:54.500 their little boys and trying to pretend that they're little girls for whatever psychotic

00:22:00.660 reason has motivated them to do that in their own adult heads.

00:22:06.020 Obviously not very well formed adult heads. 0.94

00:22:08.140 This is some sick stuff.

00:22:09.380 Now, probably, by the way, the state would come in with child protective services and

00:22:14.460 take your kids away from you if you don't trans the kids, if you don't let your little 1.00

00:22:17.500 boy who says he's a girl dress up like a little girl.

00:22:20.120 But of course, in a just society, the opposite would be true.

00:22:22.820 So she she poses this question.

00:22:24.200 She goes, what should I look?

00:22:25.320 I want to dress my little boy up as a girl and have him pretend to be a little girl. 0.95

00:22:28.780 What are you going to do about that when people say that that's not such a nice thing?

00:22:32.460 Joe Biden says, you know, I'm sorry you're going through that.

00:22:36.120 Absolutely.

00:22:36.740 We should trans the kids. 0.77

00:22:37.780 How will you as president reverse this dangerous and discriminatory agenda and ensure that the

00:22:47.520 lives and rights of LGBTQ people are protected under U.S. law?

00:22:54.100 I will flat out just change the law.

00:22:57.100 Eliminate those executive orders.

00:22:59.780 Number one, there should be zero discrimination. 0.86

00:23:03.320 And what's happening is too many transgender women of color are being murdered.

00:23:09.600 They're being murdered.

00:23:10.960 There is no reason to suggest that there should be any right denied your daughter or daughters,

00:23:18.620 whichever one or two, one, your daughter, that your other daughter has a right to be and do none. 0.97

00:23:25.140 Zero.

00:23:25.400 So you can tell Joe Biden doesn't know anything about this issue. 0.72

00:23:28.760 So he just goes back to the one talking point that some staffer told him, which is transgender women of color are being murdered.

00:23:34.320 Now, I know when you say that, it sounds like there's some epidemic of this in the country, but it's not the case.

00:23:39.120 It's something like 20 per year, 20 black men who are who identify as women. 0.66

00:23:44.140 And usually when you look into the individual cases, it's because they're involved in prostitution or something like that and are are killed by black men who are either didn't know that they were transgender. 0.83

00:23:54.960 Who knows?

00:23:55.580 I mean, these are very, very sad cases, but they're they're very particular cases.

00:24:00.360 All right.

00:24:00.480 This is not like this is happening to millions of people per year or anything like that.

00:24:03.980 But obviously it doesn't affect this woman.

00:24:05.920 She is very much a white woman and her daughters or, you know, her son and her daughter are not adults.

00:24:12.240 This is this is not about whether adults can choose to dress a certain way or identify a certain way.

00:24:17.100 This is about whether eight year old children can be made to look more like the opposite sex, whether you can block their puberty, whether you can shoot them full of hormones, whether you can castrate them, whether you can cross dress them. 0.99

00:24:32.160 This is some sick, perverted stuff. 0.96

00:24:35.380 And any reasonable society would stand up and say, listen, lady, I don't know what you're doing to your kid, but stop dressing your little boy up like a little girl. 1.00

00:24:41.920 When he gets older, when he if he's 25 years old and he decides he wants to put on a dress at night, that's his own business.

00:24:47.900 But you sure shouldn't be doing that.

00:24:50.020 Can you imagine how confusing that is to a little boy?

00:24:52.440 When I was eight years old, I wore a little Batman cape around birthday parties and told people to call me Batman.

00:24:58.580 I'm very pleased my mother did not indulge the fantasy that I wish she had indulged the fantasy that I was a billionaire.

00:25:03.340 That would have been great.

00:25:04.400 That would actually.

00:25:05.100 OK, maybe I'm undercutting my own argument.

00:25:06.500 But certainly if I thought I was a different sex, that can be extraordinarily damaging.

00:25:11.120 But what does Biden know?

00:25:11.960 He just goes along and he kind of makes these things up as he goes.

00:25:15.260 He was grasping for the issue.

00:25:16.560 He didn't even understand really the question.

00:25:19.100 And he does this on all issues.

00:25:21.160 You know, there is an answer that Joe Biden gave on a matter of same sex marriage, redefining marriage a while ago, because Joe Biden for most of his career supported the traditional definition of marriage.

00:25:33.500 And then around 2012, he decided to flip on this.

00:25:36.080 And then he wanted to pretend that he's always been super duper gay.

00:25:40.040 I don't know.

00:25:40.260 He's been very much in favor of gay rights and redefining marriage and all these things.

00:25:44.020 So he's given this answer.

00:25:45.160 He's repeated it a lot on the campaign trail.

00:25:47.180 And something about it just doesn't sound quite right.

00:25:49.960 I saw these two men in the corner when I was getting out of the car, both well-dressed men in suits, lean up and kiss one another and then go their separate ways.

00:25:59.140 One went to the Hercules building and one went to the Pant building.

00:26:01.840 And I turned and looked at my dad, just looked at me, said, Joey, it's simple.

00:26:06.260 They love each other.

00:26:07.940 It's simple, Joey.

00:26:09.020 They love each other.

00:26:10.540 What prompted me, I let the president know that I did not have to evolve at all.

00:26:17.260 I was and my wife, my sister, all of us, we were way not ahead, but it was never thought to be a problem with us.

00:26:27.280 That never happened.

00:26:28.060 I can tell you, I would bet the farm, I would bet every dollar to my name that did not happen.

00:26:36.980 Two guys in the 1960s in the middle of the center of Delaware did not kiss one another because in those days it was not publicly acceptable to do that.

00:26:49.280 And they wouldn't have done, even the guys might have lived together, might have, you know, sort of done whatever, wouldn't have happened in public.

00:26:54.680 And I promise you, Joe Biden's dad didn't say, Sonny, you see this perfectly choreographed moment so that you can use on a campaign trail 60 years from now.

00:27:04.000 Joey, they love each other.

00:27:05.700 No, I bet, something tells me Joe Biden's dad, who was born, what, in like the late 19th century or something, early 20th century,

00:27:12.540 was not this like open-minded liberal guy who's like, God, Joey, you know, this is great.

00:27:18.780 And in 2012, you should come out and defend gay marriage, even though you'll vigorously oppose it for your entire career. 0.71

00:27:24.940 But then you can remember this moment, Joey, those guys love each other.

00:27:28.740 It didn't happen.

00:27:29.260 And Joe Biden lies about these things all the time. 0.95

00:27:31.160 Don't forget, he had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because he was a liar. 0.90

00:27:34.300 He lied, he's lied about horrible personal events. 0.81

00:27:37.420 He lied about the driver who got into a car accident with his wife.

00:27:41.540 It was tragedy when his wife died.

00:27:43.980 He lied about that guy.

00:27:45.180 And after the guy died, the guy felt so horrible about it for his whole life.

00:27:48.740 And then after the guy died, he maligned him based on nothing and said that he was a drunk driver.

00:27:52.920 The Atlantic even called Joe Biden out on this story.

00:27:55.780 So here's what Joe Biden could say.

00:27:57.360 He could say, yeah, you know, look, I'm a product of my age and I kind of don't really have any beliefs,

00:28:01.720 but I went along with it and so, yeah, I opposed homosexuality for most of my career. 0.97

00:28:06.560 And then I was okay with homosexuality, but I supported, I opposed redefining marriage.

00:28:11.960 And then around 2012, I changed my mind because it was more politically expedient

00:28:15.000 and I supported redefining marriage and that's my career.

00:28:17.580 And you'd say, okay, well, that's true of a lot of politicians.

00:28:19.440 So that's fine, whatever, you know, okay, no big deal.

00:28:21.860 But instead he's got to lie and say, oh yeah, man, I was,

00:28:25.160 I was dancing to the village people back in 1962 at the YMCA.

00:28:28.840 Like, no, you weren't Joe Biden.

00:28:30.080 You weren't doing that.

00:28:30.960 And none of that is credible, which is why when he gives answers on anything,

00:28:34.600 forget, you know, transing the kids or, or a gay marriage or whatever.

00:28:38.840 I mean, when he gives answers on taxes, when he gives answers on anything,

00:28:41.660 you can't believe it because the guy has no principles.

00:28:45.600 The guy has no beliefs.

00:28:47.640 He was giving an answer on police brutality, alleged police brutality.

00:28:52.280 And they said, okay, well, you know, what happens if a criminal is like coming at a cop

00:28:58.000 and he's a real threat or he's a threat to another person?

00:29:00.720 You're saying the cop can't use deadly force.

00:29:03.500 And Joe Biden tries to split the baby.

00:29:05.820 You can ban chokeholds.

00:29:07.080 You can, but beyond that, you have to teach people how to deescalate circumstances, deescalate. 0.96

00:29:13.780 So instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, 1.00

00:29:17.800 you shoot them in the leg. 1.00

00:29:18.840 There's ways. 1.00

00:29:19.740 Biden 2020, shoot them in the leg, shoot them in the leg. 1.00

00:29:22.520 Now, anybody who has worked in law enforcement, anybody who's ever shot a gun will tell you 1.00

00:29:26.640 that is very, very poor form.

00:29:28.780 If you're going to shoot, you shoot right into the guy, right where you have a best chance 0.96

00:29:32.620 of hitting, shooting in the, do you know how hard it is to shoot in the leg when somebody 0.97

00:29:35.340 is running away? 0.88

00:29:36.320 And what does it mean to shoot in the leg?

00:29:37.620 You might, if you've got a dangerous situation where you have to use force, who knows?

00:29:42.340 The other guy might have a gun.

00:29:43.280 He might have a knife.

00:29:43.880 He could be putting other people in danger.

00:29:45.360 You can't do that.

00:29:47.040 You've got to make a decision.

00:29:48.920 But Joe Biden can't make a decision because he doesn't believe anything and he licks his

00:29:52.880 index finger, puts it up in the air and figures out which way the wind blows.

00:29:57.980 After these silly back to back, you know, side by side town halls, we find out that the moderator

00:30:03.640 who was supposed to moderate that debate between Biden and Trump, not moderate at all.

00:30:09.260 And actually turns out that he lied.

00:30:10.920 He lied right through his teeth, which was a huge embarrassment to the mainstream media.

00:30:14.900 And it's only going to get worse at the next debate, which we will get to in one second.

00:30:17.940 However, as with everything in 2020, there's been a lot of drama, you know, around these

00:30:22.420 debates, but we are ready for the next and final debate this Thursday.

00:30:59.760 Head on over.

00:31:00.280 We will be right back with a lot more.

00:31:14.600 So the moderator of the proposed second debate, Steve Scully found it came out that he was tweeting.

00:31:24.860 He thought, I think, privately tweeting with Anthony Scaramucci to, who is very anti-Trump

00:31:30.860 now before the debate to talk about what to ask about.

00:31:34.320 When this tweet came out, Steve Scully pretended that he got hacked.

00:31:38.480 That was his big excuse.

00:31:40.240 He says, I was hacked.

00:31:41.340 This isn't real.

00:31:42.180 I'm talking to the law enforcement right now.

00:31:44.160 We're going to find out what went wrong.

00:31:48.400 Turns out he didn't get hacked.

00:31:51.160 Joe Lockhart at CNN tweets out, quote, fact, if Steve Scully says he didn't send it, you

00:31:55.740 can take it to the bank, period. 1.00

00:31:57.020 Anyone who questions him or makes accusations is a damn liar. 1.00

00:32:00.280 Well, guess what? 1.00

00:32:01.200 It turns out, once again, CNN, intrepid reporting, CNN was totally wrong.

00:32:08.680 The accusations of everyone being a liar, totally wrong.

00:32:11.560 Steve Scully himself lied.

00:32:13.840 He was not hacked.

00:32:15.260 Scully comes out and says, for several weeks, I was subjected to relentless criticism on social

00:32:20.220 media and in conservative news outlets regarding my role as moderator for the second presidential

00:32:23.960 debate, including attacks aimed directly at my family.

00:32:27.300 I didn't see any of those attacks, Buster.

00:32:28.940 And if your argument is I got some private emails or something, we all do.

00:32:32.420 Quit whining.

00:32:33.200 Give me a break.

00:32:34.080 Also, you were criticized for your role in the debate because you were a Joe Biden intern,

00:32:40.140 for goodness sakes.

00:32:40.820 And you worked for Ted Kennedy in the press office.

00:32:42.700 So, yeah, we didn't think you're much of a moderator.

00:32:44.940 We don't think you're very moderate. 0.96

00:32:46.400 And it's preposterous that partisan Dems moderate every single damn debate, including the one 0.96

00:32:51.080 that Fox News hosts. 0.97

00:32:52.300 Fox News is supposed to be a conservative outlet.

00:32:54.120 Who do they put up to be their moderator? 0.71

00:32:55.620 The Democrat on staff.

00:32:57.220 So, yeah, we criticized you.

00:32:58.600 Right.

00:33:00.300 Scully says, this culminated on Thursday, October 8th, when I heard President Trump go on national

00:33:04.980 television twice and falsely attack me by name.

00:33:07.780 Falsely?

00:33:08.260 Maybe.

00:33:08.500 I don't know.

00:33:08.900 I don't know falsely.

00:33:10.240 Out of frustration, I sent a brief tweet to Anthony Scaramucci.

00:33:13.080 The next morning, when I saw that this tweet had created a new controversy, I falsely claimed

00:33:16.900 that my Twitter account had been hacked.

00:33:19.060 Then he goes on, he says, but I take responsibility.

00:33:21.000 No, you're not taking responsibility.

00:33:22.360 You're blaming Trump that you colluded with an anti-Trump guy before a debate that you're

00:33:27.580 supposed to moderate, and then that you lied about it and said that you were hacked,

00:33:31.340 and that somehow that's Trump's fault.

00:33:32.620 That's your fault, Buster.

00:33:34.080 That's your fault.

00:33:35.040 But you got caught.

00:33:36.260 You got caught as a Dem hack.

00:33:38.720 And so what did you do?

00:33:39.640 You went crying and complaining. 1.00

00:33:41.740 So pathetic. 1.00

00:33:42.580 By the way, it's not going to get any better at this next debate. 0.99

00:33:44.800 The next moderator of a debate is also a huge lib.

00:33:48.260 Kristen Welker has deep Democratic ties.

00:33:51.720 Her parents, for starters, have donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democrats over the

00:33:55.260 years.

00:33:55.820 This woman has been photographed with Barack Obama, all smiley, smiley.

00:33:59.480 And in 2016, this one was pretty funny.

00:34:01.860 She gave Hillary spokesman, Jennifer Palmieri, a heads up on interview questions that she was

00:34:09.140 about to ask.

00:34:10.400 We go right to Kristen Welker. 0.96

00:34:11.760 Kristen, go ahead.

00:34:13.280 He's, okay.

00:34:14.860 Okay.

00:34:15.640 And I'm going to ask you about Flint.

00:34:17.040 Kristen, go ahead.

00:34:17.800 You're live.

00:34:20.120 Kristen Welker in the spin room.

00:34:21.420 I believe she has the Clinton communications director with her.

00:34:23.840 Go ahead, Kristen.

00:34:24.460 Okay, thank you.

00:34:25.380 I think this is his last question.

00:34:26.660 You know, we have Kristen Welker.

00:34:30.420 We're looking at her.

00:34:31.200 She couldn't quite hear me before.

00:34:32.300 Can you hear me now?

00:34:32.960 If you can, go ahead.

00:34:34.300 Hey, Ari, I'm here with communications director, Jim Palmieri for the Clinton campaign.

00:34:37.900 Hey, sorry.

00:34:38.860 I was a little busy just telling her exactly what I was going to ask her and kind of working

00:34:42.900 on her answers with her.

00:34:43.820 So I'm sorry.

00:34:44.640 Sorry it took so long.

00:34:45.600 But now we're going to get to this real serious hardball interview.

00:34:49.080 That woman on MSNBC is going to be the moderator of the next debate. 1.00

00:34:52.340 Why do we sign up for this?

00:34:55.740 Part of the reason we sign up for this as conservatives is because we have no institutional

00:34:59.260 power.

00:34:59.740 Even when we control the White House, we have no institutional power.

00:35:03.300 So Trump has to go on with the Savannah Guthries of the world.

00:35:06.660 Sometimes there's an advantage to this, though it would be good.

00:35:09.700 I think if President Trump is going to interrupt, he should be more strategic about it this week

00:35:13.440 and he should focus more of it on the moderator, who's not going to be moderate at all and should

00:35:19.200 let Joe Biden try to finish his sentences, which I suspect will not go very well at all.

00:35:26.960 The other big event that happened over the past few days is the Women's March.

00:35:30.580 Remember the Women's March?

00:35:32.360 That was an event.

00:35:33.120 It was just a way to protest Trump in 2016.

00:35:35.820 And a bunch of women went to D.C. and screamed. 1.00

00:35:38.360 And the Women's March always billed itself as nonpartisan.

00:35:41.660 It's the Women's March.

00:35:42.620 You know, it's just for women. 1.00

00:35:43.360 This isn't about Trump.

00:35:44.300 This isn't about abortion or whatever.

00:35:46.220 So this year, some pro-life women decided to show up. 1.00

00:35:49.460 And it turns out that Women's March is not really about women at all.

00:35:52.640 It's just a bunch of leftists.

00:35:54.640 There was one pro-life woman who showed up pregnant and said, look, my baby has a heartbeat. 1.00

00:36:01.700 My baby is obviously a baby. 0.99

00:36:03.440 And these ghouls over here want to kill my baby. 0.99

00:36:05.640 But you should see the reality of it, that my baby is a baby. 0.99

00:36:09.080 Don't kill the baby. 0.66

00:36:09.940 And one of these ghouls, the pro-women's march, you know, the kind of radical leftists there, 0.99

00:36:18.000 said that this was so offensive that if she were that baby, she'd want to kill herself. 1.00

00:36:23.880 Imagine using your child for political s**t. 1.00

00:36:26.800 What did you say? 1.00

00:36:27.420 You'd want to kill yourself? 0.99

00:36:28.500 I'm saying if I was that child, I'd probably want to kill myself. 0.99

00:36:31.240 Yeah.

00:36:33.960 Yeah, I've got to find him in trouble.

00:36:36.620 Can I ask you, what are you doing?

00:36:38.960 Are you using an ultrasound?

00:36:40.220 Yeah, we are trying to find her heartbeat.

00:36:42.540 Yeah.

00:36:43.340 You're going to project it?

00:36:44.800 Yep.

00:36:45.040 And why are you doing that?

00:36:47.660 To show that my daughter is a real human.

00:36:51.960 She, yes, she's in my body.

00:36:54.740 Yes, I'm responsible for her.

00:36:56.760 But her life matters too.

00:36:59.000 And this march, they're not marching for pre-born women.

00:37:02.100 That's why I'm here and my daughter's here.

00:37:04.780 Makes perfect sense to me. 0.97

00:37:06.180 And you've got this ghoulish leftist gal saying, yeah, I'd want to kill myself if I were that baby. 1.00

00:37:11.380 Yeah, it's awful. 0.87

00:37:11.960 I mean, that's the kind of women's solidarity we see. 1.00

00:37:15.460 You saw it in the Washington Post.

00:37:17.800 Here's the headline.

00:37:18.460 Women's March in D.C. draws thousands in protest of Supreme Court nominee.

00:37:22.880 The Supreme Court nominee, who I will remind you, is a woman. 1.00

00:37:26.320 And what a woman. 1.00

00:37:27.320 Oh, my God.

00:37:27.900 This woman, you know, truly talk about having it all, right?

00:37:30.360 This woman, incredible judicial career, incredible academic career, and mother of seven, five biological kids, two adopted kids, now put up for the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:37:40.760 Oh, my gosh, the women should be thrilled, right? 0.99

00:37:42.840 They should be gathering in support of this woman.

00:37:44.980 But they're not, because this march has nothing to do with women. 0.99

00:37:48.100 It's just a bunch of leftist ghouls shouting disgusting things, such as, if I were a baby in that pro-life woman's womb, I'd want to kill myself. 0.97

00:37:56.160 Also, also, don't forget, as we have this ritual in the liturgy of liberalism that happens now, I guess, once a year, thousands of people showed up for this women's march. 0.98

00:38:08.140 And yet, many thousands of churches in the country remain closed.

00:38:14.100 Something tells me COVID is going to spread just as easily with all these thousands of people gathered together protesting for liberal causes as would in a church.

00:38:24.280 Pro-life spread more quickly, but it doesn't matter.

00:38:26.760 From the very beginning, there's one set of rules for leftists on the coronavirus and another set of rules for everybody else.

00:38:33.240 You can't go to grandma's funeral, but you can go to George Floyd's funeral.

00:38:36.800 It doesn't matter that only 50 people were going to go to grandma's funeral and 100,000 are going to go to George Floyd's funeral.

00:38:41.240 It's important for the liturgy of liberalism that everyone go to George Floyd's funeral.

00:38:45.720 That's a religious liberty issue.

00:38:48.420 But your religious liberty, your religion, no way. 1.00

00:38:51.880 There's a caste system now in America, and sorry, buddy, you're not at the top of it.

00:38:55.680 Actually, as a matter of these kind of racial grievance politics, we've got a brand new political party in the United States.

00:39:04.520 Not Kanye West's political party, the birthday party, which I'm probably going to join.

00:39:08.200 After the Trump years, I'll probably just end up leaving the Republican Party, joining the Kanye West birthday party.

00:39:12.780 Say, Michael, what is your political view?

00:39:14.360 I'm a Kanye West conservative.

00:39:16.220 More of a Kanye kind of guy.

00:39:17.240 But P. Diddy, Puff Diggity Doodad, was the one who just came out and formed a new political party called the Black Party, our Black Party.

00:39:27.240 He tweets out, quote, the number one, and this is kind of all random capitalizations, the number one priority is to get Trump out of office.

00:39:33.160 He has to go.

00:39:34.640 By the way, Puff Daddy used to be friends with Trump.

00:39:36.560 There are a lot of pictures of them hanging out, having a good time.

00:39:38.600 But I guess Trump becomes a Republican all of a sudden.

00:39:41.020 P. Diddy can't lose his street cred.

00:39:43.460 He has to go.

00:39:44.220 Well, we can't allow this man to continue to try and divide us. 0.89

00:39:47.380 The people that have the most responsibility and should be scared to death of this man are white people.

00:39:52.580 We're on the verge of a race war. 0.98

00:39:55.020 What does that mean?

00:39:55.920 I guess that's a threat.

00:39:57.480 Say white people should be really scared because we're on the verge of a race war.

00:40:01.500 However, it does occur to me there are more white people than black people in the country, right?

00:40:07.480 I mean, white people are, what, like 50, more than 50% of the country, and then black people are like 12% of the country. 0.70

00:40:13.180 So what does that mean?

00:40:13.760 You should be scared to death of this man because we're on the verge of a race war.

00:40:17.140 I hope we're not on the verge of a race war.

00:40:19.500 Things have gotten too serious.

00:40:20.660 It would be irresponsible of me to have us hold our vote hostage.

00:40:23.860 Ah, and there's the key.

00:40:25.380 It would be irresponsible of me to have us hold our vote hostage, but it would also be irresponsible of me to let this moment go by and not make sure going forward we're doing what it takes to own our politics.

00:40:33.960 Wow, that's so lame.

00:40:35.480 So he goes, I'm starting a new political party. 0.99

00:40:36.980 It's only for black people because Trump is dividing us.

00:40:39.240 So I'm going to make another political party that divides us on the basis of race. 0.59

00:40:42.320 But, you know, it's very important that the whole black party votes for Biden, the Democratic Party.

00:40:47.860 Well, then you didn't make a new political party.

00:40:51.080 You're just, it's just a PR stunt for the Democrats.

00:40:54.280 It's very important that we be independent and think for ourselves and do exactly what the Democrats tell us to do.

00:40:59.400 Um, no, I don't, I don't think that makes sense at all.

00:41:04.360 You know, the, the other political party that was just formed, the Birthday Party, my favorite new political party, at least for Kanye.

00:41:10.420 I mean, he likes Trump, but he's, he is kind of forging his own political identity.

00:41:14.940 He's saying, yeah, I disagree with the Republicans on this.

00:41:17.180 I disagree with the Democrats on this.

00:41:18.460 It actually is his own kind of thing.

00:41:20.480 And for a lot of it, I actually agree pretty wholeheartedly with the Kanye West Birthday Party.

00:41:25.120 But the, the black party from P. Diddy doesn't mean anything.

00:41:27.840 He's just saying, yeah, yeah, we're, black people are going to have our own political party.

00:41:32.480 And then we're going to immediately rejoin the Democratic Party.

00:41:35.520 And actually we'll never have left in the first place.

00:41:38.460 That's democracy for you.

00:41:40.160 You know, some people are really afraid of losing our democracy.

00:41:42.760 Because if Trump wins, by definition, that means that we're losing our democracy.

00:41:48.160 There was a, I felt one of the most articulate leftists in the country just summed this up on social media.

00:41:54.960 Terrified.

00:41:57.060 Listen to me, Republicans.

00:41:58.920 Listen.

00:42:00.500 You are the people in history they warned us about.

00:42:05.460 They warned us about people like you.

00:42:10.420 Pay attention.

00:42:12.760 We're losing our democracy.

00:42:17.500 Wake up.

00:42:20.340 Wake up.

00:42:23.760 Can I file a workman's comp claim for what just happened to my eardrum?

00:42:29.060 Because that, we should have turned that down before that lady gave her beautiful oration. 1.00

00:42:34.600 But I think her, her point expresses the views of many Democrats in this country.

00:42:39.660 And it's, it's one of the funniest ones.

00:42:41.560 They never seem to realize the irony of this.

00:42:44.220 They come out and they say, look, we support democracy.

00:42:48.000 And if you ever, if you, the people ever disagree with us, that's the end of democracy.

00:42:53.700 So, well, hold on.

00:42:55.380 You're saying that you support the people going out and expressing their views at the ballot box.

00:42:59.880 And that's good because that's pro-democracy.

00:43:03.340 But if they ever disagree with your party, that's the end of democracy.

00:43:08.500 But no, I think in, in reality, that would be an expression of democracy, wouldn't it?

00:43:12.680 This is something that, that liberalism and the Democratic Party just doesn't understand because they don't support democracy.

00:43:19.620 They are progressive.

00:43:20.660 And so they, they believe that, well, one, being part of the progressive project, they believe most of our politics should just be outsourced to experts and bureaucrats and eggheads and the administration.

00:43:30.560 So they give all deference to that.

00:43:31.940 But even at the ballot box, for what little that means these days, because we're, we're on the road to progress, the Democratic Party has to win.

00:43:43.160 It has to.

00:43:43.820 It's, it's the only, it's in everybody's interest.

00:43:46.780 It's what all the smart people want to do.

00:43:48.620 And it's what all the good people want to do.

00:43:50.400 And if anybody just knew the facts, they would vote for the Democratic Party.

00:43:53.360 So any, any time the Democrats lose, it is by definition illegitimate, according to them.

00:44:01.060 Any, the only way it makes sense is if democracy has been subverted.

00:44:06.160 I mean, this is what's really led to the problems of the, the Trump era is the Democrats told us that Trump is Hitler, right?

00:44:13.300 Because they thought it was going to be easy to beat him.

00:44:14.740 So they said Trump is Hitler.

00:44:15.820 And then half the country voted for Hitler.

00:44:18.320 So either half the country are Nazis or they were wrong about Trump or lying about Trump or some combination.

00:44:28.140 But the left can't admit that they were wrong or that they were lying.

00:44:30.700 It's not, they're not capable of it.

00:44:32.460 And so it has to be the case that half the country are Nazis.

00:44:35.740 Now they're proposing a truth and reconciliation commission, just like they had in South Africa, to, to basically just to punish everybody who voted for Trump.

00:44:43.780 There are multiple Democrats proposing this on MSNBC, major Democratic economists.

00:44:48.980 They're proposing this because it is not legitimate in a Democratic system to vote for anybody other than the left.

00:44:57.280 Those are the stakes of this election.

00:44:59.800 There is no moderation.

00:45:01.280 There is none, none left.

00:45:02.340 There are no moderators.

00:45:03.240 You know, it's funny, the moderator, the term moderator comes from the word, the moderate.

00:45:06.820 The idea to, to bring down, to lessen, to get into control, to make less extreme, to be modest, to be, to be, to be, there's nothing modest or moderate about, frankly, about most people left in the country, but certainly about the left.

00:45:20.980 There's none of that.

00:45:21.860 So there is, there is no moderator.

00:45:24.100 We won't, we won't have that.

00:45:25.620 And, and I, I do fear, as a result, however this election turns out, there might not be very much reconciliation, unless people do get a little bit of that modesty, or a little bit of humility, or a little bit of charity for their fellow Americans, and cool down the screaming and the shouting, and recognize that there are, there are reasons that people would vote for Democrats.

00:45:47.080 I mean, there are bad reasons, and it's immoral to vote for Biden, but people make mistakes.

00:45:50.640 This is a fallen world.

00:45:51.540 And the Democrats need to realize that there are reasons for people to vote for Trump, such as wisdom, and moral clarity, and, you know, intelligence, and other reasons, too.

00:46:02.560 Education.

00:46:03.740 And they, they need to recognize that, because if you, if you believe, just that by definition, anyone voting for the other guy is, has undermined the entire system, then the system's over.

00:46:14.960 And that creates a very precarious situation, as we head in, within just the next few weeks, into an election that may already pose a constitutional crisis.

00:46:24.120 That's our show.

00:47:22.200 You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics.

00:47:26.600 I think there are enough of those already out there.

00:47:28.520 We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it drives everything else.

00:47:33.280 So my main focuses are life, family, faith.

00:47:37.780 Those are fundamental.

00:47:39.200 And that's what this show is about.
