00:00:00.000 With the media and big tech suppressing every single story, contradicting every single story
00:00:05.960 that might be negative about Joe Biden, President Trump has finally figured out a way to get around
00:00:13.000 them. Take a look at this clip. We had it made up and I think you're like, first time I've ever
00:00:18.180 done this, right? First time. Go ahead, wherever it is, put it up. Would there be any place for
00:00:23.300 fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration? No, we would work it out.
00:00:31.080 We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those. I guarantee
00:00:35.800 we're going to end fossil fuel. No more, no new fracking. I'd gradually move away from fracking.
00:00:41.700 And I think it's critically important on day one that we end any fossil fuel leases on public lands.
00:00:47.340 Well, what about, say, stopping fracking and stopping new pipeline infrastructure?
00:00:53.260 They want to do the same thing I want to do. They want to phase out fossil fuels and we're
00:00:57.300 going to phase out fossil fuels. There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
00:01:09.840 And what we don't show is his more current version. Oh, yes, we'll have fracking.
00:01:15.120 And the fake news, they don't do anything about it. They don't even talk to him about it.
00:01:20.780 But right now, he's got bigger problems than fracking, I think.
00:01:25.280 Right now, he does have bigger problems. And that would be his son, Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:01:30.440 But you see that he uses tech to get around the media, which won't cover the story.
00:01:36.540 So and then it's being suppressed on big tech. So he plays the clip and then both of them have to
00:01:40.960 cover it. I believe that is inception. But President Trump has more tricks up his sleeve,
00:01:47.200 not just on the Hunter Biden stuff, which he alluded to, but also possibly breaking up
00:01:51.980 the biggest tech giant in the world. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:56.280 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday is from Zane, who says every time Joe
00:02:09.480 Biden says, come on, man, he assumes someone's gender. That's true. Of all the issues that people 1.00
00:02:15.460 are bringing up to Joe, nobody mentions that about how he keeps assuming people's gender. He assumed
00:02:21.380 corn pops gender. He assumes a lot of people's gender. You know what you can't assume, though,
00:02:28.240 that you can keep charging things to your credit cards forever and ever and ever, and that'll be
00:02:31.440 fine. What you need to do is consolidate all of that. Lightstream offers credit card consolidation
00:02:36.540 loans from 5.95% APR with auto pay and excellent credit. The application is 100% online. You don't even
00:02:44.060 have to leave your house to apply. And these days, I think you're not allowed to leave your house. So that
00:02:47.800 works out very well. You can get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000, and there are absolutely no
00:02:54.080 fees. You can even get your funds as soon as the day you apply. People love Lightstream. Okay, here's
00:03:00.120 just what one customer had to say. He said, I heard about Lightstream while listening to one of my
00:03:04.000 favorite podcasts. I hope it was this one. And it prompted me to do more research after shopping
00:03:08.160 around for a personal loan that would help me get a lower interest rate. There was no one easier to
00:03:12.400 work with. Plus, Lightstream had the best rate by far. Better yet, no fees, and I had my cash within
00:03:18.040 two business days. Overall, amazing experience. Highly recommended. Right now, this is a great
00:03:23.580 opportunity to solve your credit card debt problem, consolidate that, stop paying crazy, crazy rates
00:03:29.180 and fees. My listeners right now can save even more with an additional interest rate discount. The only
00:03:34.580 way to get this discount is to go to Lightstream.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. That is L-I-G-H-T-S-T-R-E-A-M.com

00:03:50.500 notice. Visit Lightstream.com slash Knowles for more information. President Trump had some choice
00:03:58.060 words there for the media because the media won't cover any of these stories. In this case,
00:04:02.680 Joe Biden saying for months and months and months, he's going to ban fracking, ban fossil fuels.
00:04:06.620 Then finally, he changes his tune because he wants to get votes in Pennsylvania, which may well
00:04:10.460 decide the election. So they won't cover it. So what does he do? He knows that the media have to
00:04:14.520 cover his rallies because they're so wacky. They're so off the cuff that some news might break. And so
00:04:19.460 at the rally, he uses multimedia to play the clips, which then the media have to cover and not even big
00:04:25.480 tech are going to break up. At some of these events, however, President Trump has used even
00:04:30.900 choicer language for his friends in the media.
00:04:33.900 Your state is doing great with a pandemic. Pandemic. They're getting tired of the pandemic, aren't
00:04:42.720 they? Getting tired of the pandemic. You turn on CNN. That's all they cover. COVID, COVID, pandemic,
00:04:49.300 COVID, COVID, COVID. You know why? They're trying to talk everybody out of voting. People aren't buying
00:04:54.780 at CNN, you dumb bastards. That's all they talk about. You know that I, of all the things
00:05:06.020 President Trump does, I probably like 99% of them. The one thing that drives me crazy is when he goes
00:05:11.520 blue. I just don't like it. I don't love the vulgar language. However, I'm going to take my personal
00:05:16.660 thoughts about this away for a second and just look at it more as an objective outside observer.
00:05:22.120 However, there's a reason those people are cheering. When President Trump calls the media
00:05:28.200 stupid bastards, there's a reason that they cheer. And it's not just that they're a group of hateful,
00:05:33.980 awful, terrible people. I bet you every single Trump voter in the country, 63 million people,
00:05:38.240 would cheer at that. And frankly, I bet you another 30 million would cheer at that too,
00:05:43.020 who didn't even vote for Trump. Because the mainstream media have lost all of their credibility.
00:05:47.280 And it's not just that they're hacks for Democrats. For the past six, seven months,
00:05:52.640 they have been actively trying to gin up fear, gin up mayhem, lock people in their homes,
00:05:59.860 all to win a presidential election. That is what the lockdown is about. The lockdown is about winning
00:06:05.020 a presidential election. Trump's analysis there that they want to keep you all terrified of going
00:06:09.540 out and voting is precisely so that they can have widespread unsolicited mail-in voting,
00:06:14.160 which we have never had in the history of our country, and which we have already seen examples
00:06:18.960 of vulnerability to fraud. Now, people are going to tell you there's no evidence that there has
00:06:24.620 been fraud in the past. There's no evidence in the past because we've never had this in the past.
00:06:28.500 This is completely brand new, and it's been brought on because of these crazy lockdowns,
00:06:33.700 where the media insists on the lockdowns or else we're all going to die. Insists on the lockdowns
00:06:39.020 when it comes to church, insists on the lockdowns when it comes to protests,
00:06:42.540 insists on the lockdowns when it comes to voting in person, but does not want the lockdowns when
00:06:47.600 it comes to mostly peaceful BLM protests, mostly peaceful BLM riots, mostly peaceful BLM arson.
00:06:56.140 Okay, I get it. President Trump, it's easy to blame him for whipping up this frenzy against the
00:07:03.000 media. Uh-uh, buddy. Trump is the consequence. Trump is the symptom of a fury against the media,
00:07:09.660 which the media have earned through their thorough corruption. And you don't know the half of their
00:07:14.640 corruption. It gets so much worse today because we now have confirmation from the Department of
00:07:22.660 Justice and the FBI that the Hunter Biden laptop and the Hunter Biden emails and the emails showing
00:07:30.240 that he was selling his dad's influence for millions of dollars to Ukraine and to China,
00:07:33.900 and the emails suggestion that Joe Biden was well, not only aware of this, but he was involved in
00:07:40.100 this and more evidence that Joe Biden was getting a cut of this, of all this corruption, selling out
00:07:46.640 America. The DOJ and the FBI confirmed this was not Russian disinformation. This is what we've been
00:07:54.160 told now for the past two weeks, more than two weeks. It's disinfo. It's Russian interference. No one
00:08:00.500 should ever run this. We've got to suppress the story. Twitter's not going to let people share the
00:08:04.460 link. New York Post still locked out of Twitter. A senior law enforcement official is now saying
00:08:10.160 FBI and DOJ concur with John Ratcliffe, who's the director of national intelligence. Hunter Biden's
00:08:14.640 laptop and the emails in question weren't part of a Russian disinformation campaign. And the FBI now does
00:08:20.080 have possession of Hunter Biden's laptop. First of all, the emails are obviously real. How do I know
00:08:27.360 they're real? Because not only do they sound real, not only do they refer to real events,
00:08:33.880 they include photographs of Hunter Biden in very compromising positions. So either the Photoshop
00:08:39.080 people at the Russian disinformation camp are the most qualified and skilled in the world,
00:08:45.680 or these are photos and this is real material that comes from Hunter Biden. Now that hasn't stopped the
00:08:52.580 mainstream media from pushing this disinformation narrative. Just, just take a listen to the sort
00:08:57.420 of people who have pushed the lie with, with no evidence, by the way, that all this damaging info
00:09:04.880 about the Bidens, Joe and Hunter is Russian disinfo. Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, Nick Schifrin, PBS,
00:09:11.660 Yamiche Alcindor, PBS, Steve Holzer, CBS news director. CBS news director, who by the way,
00:09:16.120 reprimanded in public one of his reporters because his reporter dared ask Joe Biden about these issues
00:09:23.560 of Hunter's emails and Joe's inappropriate relationship to Ukraine and China. The reporter
00:09:28.100 just asked the question, did what reporters do? CBS news director comes out there and says,
00:09:31.900 how dare you? You shouldn't do that. Steve Holzer. Politicians who have pushed this, Adam Schiff,
00:09:36.840 of course, he probably cooked the whole thing up himself. Chris Murphy, Democratic Senator,
00:09:40.900 rep Bill Pascrell, rep David Cicilline, all Democrats. The blue check marks on Twitter who
00:09:47.440 have pushed this complete lie. 100%. We now have confirmation from three intelligence agencies lie.
00:09:55.000 Amy Siskind, who's a blue check on Twitter, Neera Tanden from the Center for American Progress,
00:10:00.220 Ben Rhodes, who was Barack Obama's fabulist. He was, he was one of these, these complete blockheads
00:10:07.340 behind the Iran deal and, and a lot of Barack Obama's foreign policy. All of the Pod Save America
00:10:14.300 guys, they just completely lied about this. Evan McMullen, Egg McMuffin, that, that jerk,
00:10:19.500 that, that never Trumper who ran for president in 2016. He was an ex-CIA guy who was very upset that
00:10:26.560 Trump was running against his, his intelligence community that has obviously taken way, way,
00:10:33.800 way too much power. Bill Kristol. Remember Bill Kristol? David Frum, another former Republican,
00:10:39.880 I guess. All these guys pushed this Russian disinfo hoax without a single shred of evidence.
00:10:46.180 How about from big publications? Washington Post, Business Insider, Newsweek, USA Today, CNN,
00:10:51.900 and many, many others. I just don't have time to go through all of them.
00:10:54.760 This, this is what Trump is up against. We've now, we've heard from major media figures. We've heard
00:11:03.700 from major politicians. We've heard from major cultural figures, major Republican figures,
00:11:08.960 even though they're fake Republicans, but they pretend to be Republicans on TV and the biggest
00:11:12.540 news outlets in the world, all arrayed against president Trump pushing a complete fabrication.
00:11:18.520 And you think, you think when, when conservatives say that Republicans don't have institutional power,
00:11:25.720 conservatives don't have institutional power, you say, well, you got the White House, you got the
00:11:28.580 Senate. We don't have nothing, pal. Okay. We've got some positions in the government. Thankfully,
00:11:32.680 we have the White House and we're holding the Senate, but compared to that liberal establishment
00:11:38.520 that I've just described, it's not very much. It's not very much. And it is astounding to me when I
00:11:44.900 talk to my democratic friends and relatives and they just spout these hack talking points that come
00:11:50.740 from all of these various people without evidence, I think, oh, you just, the big divide here is not
00:11:58.340 whether you are this kind of a conservative or that kind of a conservative or a liberal Democrat or
00:12:03.560 a new left or that. A big divide is, do you believe the New York times or not? Do you believe what the
00:12:10.200 establishment are telling you or not? Do you still have faith in this establishment?
00:12:15.680 Or do you not? And so it doesn't cut evenly across left and right, but there are, there are some
00:12:22.100 people who still believe in it and that's why they always get misled. But all those guys were lying
00:12:27.280 or at least were misled by people who were lying. The computer is legitimate. The emails are legitimate.
00:12:34.060 And even though Joe Biden told us that he has nothing to do with Joe Biden, with Hunter Biden's
00:12:38.420 business deals, we now have a photo from that laptop showing Biden smiling with one of Hunter
00:12:44.360 Biden's corrupt Kazakh business partners. You know, this scandal that Hunter Biden is now involved
00:12:53.240 in. If I had to draw just one practical conclusion from that, it would be you need to protect yourself
00:13:00.220 online. Okay. This is my greatest segue ever in the history of my show. October is national cyber
00:13:06.580 security awareness month. And every day we put our information at risk on the internet. You could
00:13:12.540 miss certain identity threats by just monitoring your credit. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity
00:13:18.280 threats. Like for instance, your social security number for sale on the dark web. If you become a victim
00:13:24.380 of identity theft, LifeLock can help you restore your identity easier than what you can do on your
00:13:30.360 own. It's not very smart to use the same password for everything. That's one example. Not very smart
00:13:35.980 to go online, not protect your data. Not very smart to leave your computer at repair shops for weeks at
00:13:41.360 a time. Not very smart to do these things. Okay. You've got to protect yourself online. No one can
00:13:46.740 prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. LifeLock can see threats that you
00:13:51.980 might miss on your own. Join now and save up to 25% off your first year. Go to LifeLock.com slash
00:13:57.780 Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S. That is a LifeLock.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S for 25% off the guys that I
00:14:06.180 trust. Head on over there now. So it's legit. Forget about all those photos with, with Hunter Biden with
00:14:13.020 a cigarette dangling from his teeth or I don't know, a pipe of some sort hanging from his teeth.
00:14:17.100 Those aren't the most interesting ones. The other day when, when people were pushing those photos
00:14:23.140 out, I, I said that I don't think that's the right tack to take. I don't think it's good to make fun
00:14:29.540 of him for being a drug addict or anything like that. Didn't occur to me though. And it should
00:14:34.120 have, it occurred to me shortly thereafter, but it should have occurred to me in the moment. Then
00:14:37.500 the reason that those photos of Hunter Biden with the cigarettes and the crack pipes and all that came
00:14:41.980 out were, was not to make fun of Hunter Biden for being a junkie. The reason those photos came out
00:14:48.480 was to show that this is obviously legitimate material because it, an oil painter didn't come
00:14:53.840 up with those pictures. Those were real photos from the laptop. And those photos aren't the
00:14:57.400 interesting ones. The photos that are interesting for our purposes are the ones showing Joe Biden
00:15:02.240 smiling with Hunter's corrupt Kazakh business partners. And lest you think, by the way, 0.97
00:15:07.980 lest you think that this is just some accident. Oh, poor old Joe, his son just suckered him into
00:15:13.540 taking a picture with these Kazakh guys. Joe Biden is a very shrewd politician. He's not a very
00:15:20.300 intelligent man. He's not a very honest man. He's not a very accomplished man in terms of what he's
00:15:25.040 actually accomplished while in office. He's had the accomplishment of being in office for a long
00:15:28.260 time, but he is a shrewd politician. That's how he stayed in office so long. He knew that his presence
00:15:35.160 in those photos would be of value to those Kazakh guys. He was offering that value.
00:15:41.680 Okay. Joe, you don't pull the wool over Joe Biden's eyes when it comes to pure politics. Okay. You
00:15:48.160 might on a host of other issues, but the guy's a slick politician and nobody should pity him
00:15:52.140 in the realm of politics. So this photo was first published last year at an anti-corruption website
00:15:57.520 called the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery. This didn't get a lot of play when it was
00:16:02.660 published there, but now we've got the photo too. Reports to show Hunter Biden and Joe Biden together
00:16:07.720 with Kazakhstan's former prime minister, Karim Masimov at the far right and at the far left,
00:16:13.140 Kanez Rakishev, who is a junior partner of Timur Kulebayev. Stay with me. And Rakishev is a prominent
00:16:21.480 investor and entrepreneur regarded as one of the most influential businessmen in Kazakhstan. Rakishev is
00:16:27.720 among the 50 most influential people in Kazakhstan. Obviously connections to all these oligarchs.
00:16:32.840 Hunter Biden doing business with them. Why? Is he some expert on Kazakhstan business affairs? No,
00:16:40.760 I don't think so. He was peddling his father's influence. And as the photo shows, Joe Biden was
00:16:47.660 helping him out to do it. Raises a lot of questions. One of the messages from Hunter Biden's computer
00:16:52.920 says that he kicks back half of his salary to pops. Whose pops? Is it corn pop? Or is it Papa Biden?
00:17:00.220 What did he mean by that? I don't know. I guess we're, I guess we're gonna have to find out. By the
00:17:03.620 way, by the way, you know, the Post broke this story, the New York Post, the oldest continually
00:17:08.220 published daily newspaper in the country, founded by Alexander Hamilton. The Post is still not allowed
00:17:17.840 back on Twitter. They've now, Jack Dorsey came out. He realized that the federal government is about to
00:17:23.060 smack him really hard. So he allowed people to start posting the link a little bit more.
00:17:27.540 But the Post is still not on Twitter. The in-kind contribution that Twitter is making to the Biden
00:17:35.240 campaign by continuing to suppress this information, by suppressing the outlet that is breaking this
00:17:41.940 information, is impossible to calculate. What is it worth? Millions? Certainly it's worth millions.
00:17:50.760 Might be worth 10 million or 20 million. It's worth a lot of money, which sounds like an FEC violation
00:17:57.540 to me. Sounds like, sounds like the Federal Election Commission should look into Twitter's practices
00:18:01.780 because there are many ways in which big tech is breaking the law. We'll get to that in a second with
00:18:06.880 Google. But, but Twitter is breaking the law, not just in a matter of antitrust. I don't think
00:18:11.840 they're going to go after Twitter for antitrust, not breaking the law. And maybe, maybe they're
00:18:15.540 breaking the law when it comes to section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, but they are
00:18:19.560 certainly violating campaign finance law right now. And it would be, it would be a shame if the
00:18:24.260 federal government let that go without addressing it. However, the DOJ has a bigger fish to fry right
00:18:31.560 now when it comes to big tech, because the DOJ, this is probably the biggest news story when it comes
00:18:36.280 to business or technology, maybe of my lifetime, certainly in the last 20 years, the DOJ is now
00:18:43.840 moving to break up Google as a monopoly. They are suing Google. They've filed a 57 page complaint
00:18:51.120 that has been filed in the U.S. District Court in DC, accusing Google of locking out competition.
00:18:59.060 And the way that they're, they're going after this suit is pretty interesting because it's not the way
00:19:04.560 a lot of people expected them to go after the suit. It's, it's in a more specific way that actually
00:19:10.540 will have broader implications. And, you know, one of the issues, we'll get to specifically what that
00:19:17.860 is in a second. One of the issues with big tech is that they can see you everywhere. They can keep an
00:19:24.380 eye on you everywhere. And that's a very bad thing when you are being spied on, but it's a very good
00:19:30.140 thing when you can keep an eye on your home, your family, your pets, your belongings, and get some
00:19:34.260 peace of mind. You can do that with Ring. There's a reason, there are a thousand reasons why
00:19:39.260 protecting your home should matter to you. Ring has security products for every corner of your home,
00:19:44.360 inside and out. Best of all, you can see it all in one simple app. With Ring, you can keep an eye on
00:19:49.420 your home no matter where you are, whether you're in your home, whether you're at the office, whether
00:19:52.400 you're on a beach somewhere. You know, I give out the, the Ring starter kit to my friends as a
00:19:58.840 housewarming gift. Well, guess what? I'm getting a house in Nashville now. I'm going to get a house
00:20:02.900 and I cannot wait to protect my house. I'm so excited to be the recipient of the gift that I
00:20:08.480 usually give to my friends. When we get on over to that house, I will give you an update because if

00:20:47.320 The way that the DOJ is looking to break up Google is interesting. We sort of expected them to go after,
00:20:55.020 I don't know, YouTube. Let's say YouTube, right? YouTube really is the video player for the whole
00:20:59.600 internet and they suppress information and they turn out voices that they don't like and there's
00:21:06.160 no way to compete against them. And everyone says, well, what about, I don't know, Vimeo? What about
00:21:11.680 whatever? Right. Yeah. Even Vimeo, which has been around forever, no competition whatsoever against
00:21:17.020 YouTube. You can't just go out and make your own YouTube, right? But that's not how they're going
00:21:21.300 after them. They're going after search. Google has a zillion products, right? They have Gmail,
00:21:29.940 they have Google Voice, they've got YouTube, they've got Google Glasses, they've got all sorts
00:21:37.560 of stuff, right? Search is their core competency. Search is where all of Google's power comes from.
00:21:43.780 And what the DOJ is saying is that their search is effectively a monopoly. And you know this,
00:21:49.640 we see this with conservative issues all the time. Google suppresses conservative results.
00:21:56.080 They boost up left-wing results. And by doing that, they manipulate the flow of information.
00:22:01.940 They control something like 80% of the information flow around the internet.
00:22:06.100 And so, and by the way, if you are on the first page of Google, you're there, you exist,
00:22:10.400 you're on the internet. If you're on page two, you might as well not exist. It's that stark.
00:22:15.120 And they are controlling that in a way that is, according to the DOJ, monopolistic.
00:22:22.060 Okay, these are the stakes that we've got right now. You've got three companies, but really it's
00:22:27.240 Google. Google's the big dog. Facebook and Twitter, much less so. You've got these companies controlling
00:22:32.440 the flow of information around the internet, controlling our public square. The public square
00:22:36.240 is essential in a free government, in self-government, where we have to persuade our fellow citizens.
00:22:40.600 They are controlling our speech and they have no accountability whatsoever. They acquired that
00:22:45.940 ability through fraud by telling people that they were entering into some one product and then giving
00:22:53.260 them a different product, telling people that they were entering into being able to share their
00:22:56.560 information around and then pull the wool, pull the rug out from under them, start suppressing political
00:23:02.200 views that they don't like. Through the fraud of enjoying protection from section 230 and saying,
00:23:08.540 we're going to be a neutral tech platform and then actually, sorry, we're going to act as a publisher,
00:23:12.740 but we're still going to get that subsidy because of the liability protection. They've done all of
00:23:17.760 that. And even beyond all those legal issues, you just zoom in from a political issue. We can't abide
00:23:23.460 that. We can't abide very, very bad people with very, very anti-American views controlling the American
00:23:32.540 public sphere. There's no argument. There's no conservative argument for that. There's no libertarian
00:23:37.360 argument for that. There's no liberal argument. You cannot have that in free government. And those
00:23:44.680 are the stakes. These issues, you know, people talk about Trump's Twitter or whatever. We should
00:23:50.800 be talking about Twitter, Twitter, not Trump's Twitter. Twitter is the issue. I don't, who cares
00:23:54.600 what Trump is tweeting? These are the stakes. There is no excuse for any non-leftist not to vote for
00:24:03.100 Donald Trump in this election. I don't care. You don't like the way he talks. I don't care. You,
00:24:07.040 you, you don't like that. He uses vulgar language about the press. I don't, I actually don't like
00:24:10.360 that either, but get your priorities in order, man. This is, these are the stakes. This is by far the
00:24:18.840 most conservative president of my lifetime, but he's kind of the lone voice against this entire
00:24:24.400 establishment that threatens to snuff out self-government itself. I don't think that's an
00:24:29.620 overstatement. DOJ doesn't think that's an overstatement. There is no issue that could
00:24:38.540 possibly justify a non-leftist voting for Joe Biden or Egg McMuffin or whatever the libertarian
00:24:45.520 candidate is or whatever. You, I understand that it doesn't feel morally pure all the time to go in
00:24:51.980 and actually vote and actually do anything. It requires courage and it requires you to be able to
00:24:56.940 take a risk. We have to do that. Some people are not willing to do that. Former chairman of the
00:25:01.860 Republican national committee, Michael Steele, an absolute joke. Michael Steele came out and endorsed
00:25:09.360 Joe Biden. Imagine that night, tensions high, a nation torn apart, a plot here in Baltimore city to
00:25:17.900 assassinate a newly elected president on his way to inauguration and to plunge the country into chaos.
00:25:24.160 Abraham Lincoln disembarked at this train station and under pre-dawn skies made his way unscathed and
00:25:30.480 on the greatness. In the days ahead, we may face a crisis of similar proportion, an outlaw president
00:25:36.580 clinging to power and defying the will of the people. For four years, many have said there will
00:25:41.800 come a moment. Well, this is the moment because this ballot is like none ever cast. Now I'm a lifelong
00:25:49.000 Republican and I'm still a Republican, but this ballot is how we restore the soul of our nation,
00:25:54.420 electing a good man, Joe Biden, and a trailblazer, Kamala Harris, and ensure an orderly transfer of
00:26:00.020 power or plunge our country into chaos. America or Trump? I choose America.
00:26:08.540 The Lincoln Project is responsible for the content of this advertising.
00:26:11.980 Joe Biden is not a good man and Kamala Harris is not a trailblazer. How is Joe Biden a good man?
00:26:16.540 Well, Trump lies. Joe Biden has told many, many more lies than Donald Trump. And much more
00:26:22.500 importantly than that, Joe Biden has told much more consequential lies than Donald Trump. Donald
00:26:28.420 Trump lies, meaning exaggerates, about his crowd sizes. And maybe he gets a few statistics or facts
00:26:35.460 wrong every now and again, which by the way, isn't a lie if you do it unintentionally.
00:26:39.540 Joe Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because he lied very intentionally. Joe Biden has
00:26:45.360 lied about his views on fracking for it. Just to use the one example at the top of the show,
00:26:49.840 Joe Biden lied about the, the, a man involved in a horrible family tragedy with Joe Biden,
00:26:55.800 where his, where his wife was killed in a car accident. The man who was involved in that car
00:27:00.680 accident felt terrible for his whole life, but you know, they've sort of made, made peace. And then
00:27:05.820 the minute that guy died, Joe Biden lied about him and said he was a drunk driver. Horribly damaging to
00:27:12.700 this guy's family. Joe Biden has lied about his views on just, just about every single issue.
00:27:18.440 Joe Biden lies about stories in the past all the time. What do you mean a good man? And now it looks
00:27:24.140 like he might be a crook. That's what the evidence seems to suggest. He's, and how is Kamala Harris a
00:27:29.820 trailblazer? Really, I suspect what Michael Steele is alluding to is the way that everyone uses this
00:27:35.180 phrase trailblazer now, which is to refer to people's skin color or sex, but she's not a trailblazer on race.
00:27:40.680 We've already had a black president. She's not a trailblazer on sex because we've already had a 1.00
00:27:44.160 female vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin and Geraldine Ferraro for that matter. 1.00
00:27:48.520 So she's not a trailblazer in any way. She's a hack politician who like Joe Biden doesn't have 1.00
00:27:52.340 any principles and goes whichever way the wind blows. You're going to pick that over Trump. Why?
00:27:56.760 Because my country, Matt, the soul of our country, what soul of our country, Joe Biden is suing nuns.
00:28:01.300 Joe Biden is calling for abortion up until the moment of birth at taxpayer expense.
00:28:06.580 Soul of our country. That's disgusting. That's despicable.
00:28:10.380 Soul of our country. But, but Michael Steele is just using words. He doesn't mean any of these
00:28:16.940 things. Michael Steele was always a squish. Don't forget that. Michael Steele was always a squish. 1.00
00:28:22.480 Back in, in 2009, Michael Steele threw Rush Limbaugh under the bus, a much more important and
00:28:30.480 significant conservative than Michael Steele, because it actually revealed the role of the
00:28:37.200 Michael Steele's of the world and the other squishy Republicans in the kind of framework of
00:28:41.920 liberalism. In, in 2009, Barack Obama is inaugurated and, uh, Rush Limbaugh has asked,
00:28:49.200 can you give us four paragraphs? I think it was in the Washington Post. Can you give us four paragraphs
00:28:52.660 on what you hope to see from this president? And he said, I don't need four paragraphs.
00:28:55.740 I need four words. I hope he fails. Makes perfect sense. Barack Obama said he wanted to fundamentally
00:29:02.300 transform America. I hope he fails. Barack Obama wanted to socialize our healthcare. I hope he
00:29:06.440 fails. Of course, makes perfect sense. And he was castigated for this, including by Michael Steele,
00:29:10.500 who said that Rush's commentary was ugly. Well, and not, not even just in that specific case,
00:29:14.920 but generally was ugly. You know, Michael Steele, he did preside, or he was chairman of the RNC during
00:29:20.520 the 2010 midterms, which were very good for the GOP because of the tea party. The tea party was
00:29:25.840 what led that election. But I don't think that was Michael Steele's leadership. I think that was
00:29:29.620 Obamacare. I think it was, I don't think anybody said I'm going out to vote because Michael Steele
00:29:33.240 did a good job. No, they said, I'm going out to vote because of Obamacare. So does he get a little
00:29:37.100 credit for that? Maybe, but you know, you're talking about a once in a hundred years issue,
00:29:41.980 certainly once in a generation issue. The reason that Michael Steele didn't like Rush Limbaugh,
00:29:46.060 the reason that Michael Steele's endorsing Joe Biden, the reason that Michael Steele
00:29:48.880 essentially said that he hoped Barack Obama would succeed by disagreeing with Rush, who said,
00:29:55.640 I hope he fails, is that Michael Steele's job, the role of squishy Republicans in the liberal
00:30:02.440 framework is to be losers. That's their job. And the liberals actually need them. 0.99
00:30:08.000 If the liberals didn't have Republicans rolling over and pretending to put up a fight, but then
00:30:12.540 rolling over, they would have a crisis of legitimacy. The regime wouldn't seem legitimate because
00:30:18.780 there would be an opposition that was underground. But as long as you have a fake opposition that is
00:30:23.260 a little above ground and they, you know, they take a couple swings, they go into the ring and
00:30:26.740 they maybe throw a punch or two, but then they get clocked in the head and they take a fall like
00:30:30.560 they're supposed to. Unless you have that, the regime is not legitimate. You see plenty of loser
00:30:37.960 Republicans like this. Mitt Romney is kind of the classic example of this. He goes out, he puts up a
00:30:42.700 little bit of a fight and then ultimately he wants liberalism to succeed and to advance.
00:30:48.400 John McCain, same thing in his political career. He wanted liberalism to advance and he'd put up a
00:30:54.380 little fight as a Republican, but does anybody really think if John McCain were still alive today,
00:30:59.380 they would be endorsing Trump in this election? Something tells me, I don't think so.
00:31:02.900 There have been a lot of Republicans like that for way, way, way too long. Okay. Squishes and
00:31:13.180 outright political subversives have dominated the Republican party for too long. And then you got
00:31:19.020 Trump and Trump's got some problems, I guess, but you know what? I don't care. I don't care because
00:31:24.480 he's actually putting up the fight. And I think that's why they're pushing back on him so hard. I think
00:31:30.100 that's why right now you're seeing such kind of chaos in the country, social chaos that the left
00:31:35.200 is instigating. And by the way, when there is social chaos, it's a good time to have gold. Here's
00:31:39.600 something new. I really, I really like these guys. This is a pretty incredible product. You know how the
00:31:44.800 price of gold has been skyrocketing? Well, now there is a way to buy gold through a company called
00:31:49.780 Acre. You might say, Michael, I don't have any money to buy gold. Well, I think you do. Acre lets you
00:31:55.300 subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 a month. You pay each month. Once your gold stash
00:32:02.160 reaches the price of their gold bars, they discreetly ship Acre gold to your house. This
00:32:07.540 is physical gold, which is very important to have, especially when times are turbulent. Acre lets
00:32:11.980 you invest in physical gold without it coming out of pocket all at once. Very helpful for those of us

00:32:21.580 stash every month. Ships once you reach the price threshold with Acre taking physical delivery of

00:34:02.200 So Michael Steele, former RNC chairman, is a loser. I'm not saying that as a petty insult. I'm
00:34:07.040 saying that is what he is actively doing. He is saying, I, the former RNC chairman, I'm going to
00:34:12.280 endorse Joe Biden, the Democrat, because I want our party to lose. But not everybody is a loser like
00:34:18.600 that. Some people want to be winners. My favorite recent endorsement for President Trump comes from
00:34:24.100 none other than Fiddy. Fiddy Cent. Fiddy Cent. I mentioned this very briefly at the end of the show
00:34:30.900 yesterday, but I really want to just get into the full endorsement here. He tweets out, all caps,
00:34:36.680 what the F, F star, star, star, star, vote for Trump. I'm out. F New York. The Knicks never win
00:34:46.680 anyway. I don't care. Trump doesn't like black people. 62%. Are you out of your effing mind?
00:34:54.440 It's the 62% he is alluding to here is the Joe Biden tax proposal, which would tax the rapper
00:35:02.220 at 62%. Wow. That is a lot of money, isn't it? And, uh, you know, the, the reason it would tax people
00:35:11.540 that high is because you have state taxes as well and local taxes as well. And so blue States, which
00:35:18.280 levy very high state and local taxes, all of a sudden you add that to the federal tax, which Biden is going
00:35:24.300 to increase and you, you end up working 62% of the year for the government. What does freedom mean?
00:35:33.620 If 62% of your year, you are a surf to the government. I am not of the opinion that taxes
00:35:42.940 are illegitimate by definition. I'm not of the opinion that all taxation is theft. I mean, it's
00:35:47.920 kind of a, it's a funny line that conservatives and really more libertarians say sometimes,
00:35:51.940 but I'm not of that opinion. However, when you get to 62%, now you're in a really dangerous
00:35:57.600 territory and Fiddy, Fiddy sent realizes that. And so he's coming out and saying, I don't, I don't
00:36:01.840 care if Trump doesn't like black people. I think Fiddy is joking here, by the way, because does anyone
00:36:07.420 in their right mind believe Donald Trump doesn't like black people? Donald Trump was winning awards
00:36:11.880 with Rosa Parks decades ago. The only time anyone ever accused Trump of racism is when he ran for
00:36:17.380 office as a Republican, if he had run as a Democrat, which he could have, no one would accuse him of
00:36:22.600 that sort of thing. Contrary to the popular media representation, Trump has denounced white supremacy
00:36:28.320 about 700 zillion times in his career. So I don't, but I think he's, I think he's joking. I think what
00:36:34.060 Fiddy is doing here is joking about, because if, if he really felt that Trump were, you know, a white
00:36:39.600 supremacist or something, something tells me even the 62% he wouldn't vote for him. What he's saying is,
00:36:44.120 yeah, okay, we hear all this blah, blah, blah about Trump hates black people. Yeah, I don't care,
00:36:48.580 man. What does that, what does that mean in real life? If Trump seriously hated black people,
00:36:54.000 how has that manifested? Has it manifested by him creating policies that have given great
00:37:00.520 opportunity to black people? Has his white supremacy manifested by Trump affecting the lowest black
00:37:07.240 unemployment rate in the history of the country? Has that manifested by President Trump making an
00:37:12.260 explicit request for the black vote because he said that Democrats have been screwing over black
00:37:18.720 people for hundreds of years? And what have you got to lose? Is it, is it because Trump has black 0.58
00:37:25.620 friends? You know, I know that left for some reason, they always say, oh, how dare you mention
00:37:30.700 that you have black friends? That's not proof that you're not racist. I think it is pretty sure it is.
00:37:36.400 They, they actually, the left always wants to cut that off and kind of mock the idea that because
00:37:41.320 you have black friends, you're not a racist, uh, as, as being somehow illegitimate. But I think they
00:37:47.380 want to cut that off because it is simply the case that if you have black friends, you're not a racist.
00:37:52.300 It's just the way it is. You don't, if you really judge people, uh, you know, as inferior and superior on
00:38:00.160 the, on the basis of race, then you're, you're not going to associate on an equal playing field with
00:38:05.540 people that you think are by definition inferior. Trump has a lot of black friends. So Kanye West
00:38:12.880 would be an example of this. Another rapper who's gone for Trump. There seems to be an interesting, uh,
00:38:17.480 grouping of rappers here who are going for Donald Trump, which should be no surprise to anyone who's
00:38:21.180 been paying attention because Donald Trump has appeared in many, many, many rap songs over the years
00:38:26.360 as someone to emulate. Just that idea of Donald Trump breaking the stodgy old Republican mold,
00:38:31.560 the loser Republican mold. Another reason that he's been able to transform the party and,
00:38:37.780 and threaten the liberal regime because he's not willing to just play the court jester in the
00:38:41.660 kingdom of liberalism. Not all celebrities though are like Fitti, not all celebrities like President
00:38:46.580 Trump. John Leguizamo, who's actually quite a good actor, uh, but a very annoying political
00:38:52.600 commentator. John Leguizamo went on the Bill Maher show and he said that it, it is
00:38:56.020 absolutely unacceptable for Hispanics to vote for Trump. There was an article I saw in the paper
00:39:01.820 this week that talked about how, uh, and I thought this was sort of trading on stereotypes.
00:39:05.660 It said that the Trump is doing rather well with young Latino men because of the machismo factor.
00:39:14.020 And why I see you're shaking your head. Is that, is it bad to say?
00:39:17.640 Latin people for Republicans are like roaches for raid. Let's just get real. So I just feel like 1.00
00:39:26.200 there's a level of, of self hate or just lack of care for the rest of your Latin brothers and
00:39:32.240 sisters who are in cages, who are, are, are being demonized by this president. I mean, 0.98
00:39:38.660 hate crimes against Latin people are way up. And how can you not, I mean, 23 people were shot in El
00:39:44.800 Paso for just being Latin and, and, and, and you, and you don't care. So you're going to go for this 0.98
00:39:50.720 braggadocio president. I don't, I just feel like it's self hating and selfish.
00:39:57.560 So not much of an argument there. You see John Leguizamo trying to make several arguments,
00:40:03.260 but he can't complete the thought cause none of them cohere. So he'll make one, he'll say,
00:40:07.800 what you're going to vote and people in cages. What do you mean? Latin people in cages. Oh, 1.00
00:40:12.640 he's referring to those photos that were going around when president Trump was enforcing our
00:40:15.800 border. And it showed some people, I don't know, kind of in cages or behind it, at least behind
00:40:20.840 metal. And what John Leguizamo doesn't know is those photos came from 2014. And those photos
00:40:26.520 were from the Obama administration because the guy who put the, the illegal aliens in cages
00:40:32.840 was Barack Obama. And the policy that required this sort of behavior came from the Clinton
00:40:39.520 administration. Came all the way back from the nineties. So not Trump's fault. Then he blames
00:40:44.400 him because there were shootings in El Paso. Trump is now responsible for El Paso. Doesn't make a lot
00:40:51.300 of sense to me. What about Beto O'Rourke? Wasn't he, isn't Beto O'Rourke, wasn't he the representative
00:40:54.400 from El Paso? No, it doesn't blame him. It just blames Trump. So there's no argument here. And what he's,
00:40:59.280 what he's playing into is this oppression narrative, which was contrived in the 1970s and 80s,
00:41:04.580 largely by the Ford Foundation actually, but by a lot of left-wing activists who saw the
00:41:10.540 effectiveness of the black civil rights and black power movement in the 1960s and 70s
00:41:16.040 and tried to replicate it for other groups. But the thing about this is, Mike Gonzalez actually
00:41:20.880 puts this very well in his recent book. I think it's called The Plot to Change America.
00:41:27.520 The, the, the kind of grievance politics only works for black people. If it works at all, 1.00
00:41:32.380 it only works for black people and specifically the descendants of slaves because only black people 0.95
00:41:38.440 came to the United States on slave ships in chains against their will. All the other groups 1.00
00:41:43.840 came to the United States voluntarily. Somebody's great granddaddy, somebody's ancestors down the
00:41:50.440 line chose to come to America. They came here for a purpose because it was better to come here than 1.00
00:41:56.000 to stay where they were. And so it's completely incoherent for the, you know, extraordinarily
00:42:02.340 privileged, great, great grandchildren like John Leguizamo, a millionaire actor, Hollywood celebrity
00:42:08.760 to come out and say, we're all so oppressed. No, you're not. Not only are you not oppressed now,
00:42:13.620 but your ancestors weren't oppressed. They chose to come here voluntarily, but they try to do this
00:42:18.800 with every single group. They're doing it now with Middle East, North Africa. People from the
00:42:22.780 Middle East have always been classified as white in the United States, but in the past decade or so,
00:42:27.100 especially during the Obama administration, they tried to reclassify them as Middle East,
00:42:30.580 North Africa. Linda Sarsour was behind this. Linda Sarsour was one of the voices behind this.
00:42:34.920 And she's a radical left-wing activist. She, she started wearing a hijab. She was asked once,
00:42:39.160 why, why do you wear the hijab? She said, if I don't wear the hijab, then I'm just another boring
00:42:43.140 white lady in New York. Shows you the, the reality of white privilege, so-called. If there were such a 0.99
00:42:49.580 thing as white privilege, then people wouldn't be trying to disassociate with white people and
00:42:57.360 identify with a new group called Middle East, North Africa. The actual privilege is to be part of an 0.66
00:43:03.100 aggrieved, victimized minority. There is no privilege for being, I mean, you just see this in affirmative 0.99
00:43:07.960 action, right? You see this in hiring practices and college acceptance practices. So John Leguizamo,
00:43:13.860 no one's ever accused John Leguizamo of being the most sophisticated political philosopher in the world.
00:43:17.700 But his argument here with the, with the Latinos has all of those premises behind it. And then it
00:43:22.820 plays on a concept that goes all the way back to Karl Marx and then was really expanded by what you
00:43:27.920 call neo-Marxists or cultural Marxists under Antonio Gramsci, for instance, or the new left,
00:43:33.220 Herbert Marcuse. A lot of these, a lot of these people you saw throughout the 20th century who were
00:43:36.860 explicit Marxists working in the cultural sphere, they would describe false consciousness. The feminists 0.82
00:43:42.240 of the 1970s made this into the mainstream. The, the, the idea of a false consciousness being,
00:43:50.660 it comes, it comes from these consciousness raising groups that radical women would have around New 0.90
00:43:55.300 York. They, and women would go there and say, gosh, I never knew I was oppressed. Before I went to the
00:44:00.820 meeting, I thought I had a nice, happy life. But after I left the meeting and my consciousness was raised,
00:44:06.080 the way the phrase exists today is called raising awareness, but then it was called raising
00:44:09.900 consciousness. My consciousness was raised. And now I realize how aggrieved and victimized and
00:44:14.640 oppressed I am. And that's what John Leguizamo is saying. These people, they're self-hating Hispanics.
00:44:18.860 They hate themselves. It's like a roach voting for raid. It's, they don't get it. They think they're
00:44:24.300 happy and they think they love America and they think they have a good life and they think their
00:44:28.220 ancestors came here for a reason, but they're wrong. It's actually all terrible. It's be miserable,
00:44:33.540 be miserable like me. That's what he's telling them. And the most ridiculous of all came from
00:44:39.200 Elizabeth Warren, who said that Trump is not just threatening one specific group, in her case,
00:44:44.100 I suppose, the Cherokee, but that President Trump is threatening all life on earth.
00:44:49.840 We are reaching a moment on our planet in which the crisis that is upon us may no longer be one
00:45:00.180 that we will be able to successfully fight back against. The climate crisis is here and no,
00:45:06.460 it is not, the science around this is not controversial. The science is clear. In fact,
00:45:13.000 you know what scares me to death? Is every time we get more data and reanalyze the data,
00:45:17.260 what we discover is the problem's even worse than we thought. We have even less time than we thought.
00:45:22.860 And so what has Donald Trump done for four years? He not only hasn't made things better,
00:45:29.500 he has actively made them worse. Donald Trump threatens the existence of human life of all life
00:45:38.920 on this planet. Can somebody get Senator Warren a fainting couch, please? She is becoming positively
00:45:45.300 hysterical. I love this idea that the Democrats always do this because they're always fear mongering.
00:45:51.800 They're doing it on the virus, as President Trump said to the press right at the very top of the show
00:45:55.080 today. And they're doing it on the environment. They're doing it, they've been doing it for decades
00:46:00.080 and decades. They used to do it on population, the population bomb. We're all going to be starving
00:46:04.320 by the 1980s. What happened? The world population doubled and people have never been richer or fatter.
00:46:10.300 They, they do it with, they did it with global cooling in the 1970s and we're all heading for an ice
00:46:14.300 age. And then now they're doing it with global warming and who knows, they're going to do it with global
00:46:17.580 moderation. Pretty soon, who knows? She goes, listen, listen, we, we told you that the world was going to end
00:46:24.980 in 12 years. Well, now it's actually, it's going to be sooner even. So it's sooner, 10 years. Is that,
00:46:31.560 well, is that enough to get you all terrified? How about nine years? How about, it's going to end
00:46:35.260 in 95 minutes. If you don't vote for us right now, please, please vote for us. Help us. The world is
00:46:40.240 going to end. I don't think so. AOC told, what is it? Two years ago, she told us it was going to end in
00:46:45.700 12 years. Keep track of that clock, by the way, because now we're down to 10 or even less than 10.
00:46:50.760 Actually, a couple of years ago, Prince Charles, one of the kookier members of the 1.00
00:46:54.800 British royal family told us the world was going to end in 18 months, which by my, by my clock
00:47:00.560 means that the world has ended. It's over. We've, it's ended. And I guess, are we in heaven now?
00:47:07.080 Are we in hell? Uh-oh. Well, looking around the political scene, it doesn't feel like heaven.
00:47:12.600 Obviously, these things are preposterous. The world is not, I mean, no one knows the time or the hour,
00:47:17.160 but at least the sun monster is probably not going to end the world within Elizabeth Warren's timetable. 0.58
00:47:21.440 They're ginning up this hysteria on the racial issue like John Leguizamo and then on the global
00:47:28.300 planetary issue like Elizabeth Warren because they're losing power and because for the first 0.86
00:47:35.080 time in my lifetime, Republicans are not willing to just be losers and play their assigned role.
00:47:40.540 Whether that's in the media, you know, sometimes there's the, there's the one conservative place,
00:47:45.160 but they're not really conservative. They actually roll over. Or in the elected government,
00:47:50.040 you know, there are a few conservative politics, but they're not really conservative. They just
00:47:53.180 roll over. They're like Michael Steele or in wherever. For the first time, you got a guy
00:47:59.100 pushing back against these things. On, on the Hunter Biden stuff, on the DOJ, on the FBI, I will tell you,
00:48:05.480 this is, we're talking about firsts in our lifetime. This is by far the most impressive October
00:48:12.480 surprise of my lifetime. Usually before elections in October, you will have some big campaign reveal.
00:48:17.860 In 2016, the October surprise that Democrats had was they had a video of Donald Trump cracking jokes
00:48:23.580 with Billy Bush during Access Hollywood. Cracking jokes about, oh yeah, I, this woman will let me do 1.00
00:48:31.220 whatever I want, that sort of thing. Locker room talk, as it was called. In 2020, we now have evidence
00:48:37.760 that the Biden family is crooked and also that they were looking at kiddie porn on Hunter's laptop.
00:48:44.100 We didn't even touch on that today. I guess we'll have to get to that tomorrow.
00:48:48.320 We still have like what, two or three weeks until the election.
00:48:52.680 This is that famous Chinese curse. May you live in interesting times. We're already living through 1.00
00:48:57.380 one Chinese curse. Now we've got another one too. The one thing I can, I'm not going to predict the 1.00
00:49:01.680 future. The one thing I can promise you though, October is not over and many surprises are yet
00:49:06.020 to come. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
