The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 636 - We All Know Joe’s Corrupt

00:00:00.000 A whistleblower has come forward ready to blow the lid off of years and years of Biden family

00:00:06.480 corruption. Man's name is Tony Bobulinski. He was a business partner of Hunter Biden.

00:00:14.780 He recorded a phone call with Rob Walker. Rob Walker is a self-described Biden family

00:00:19.860 representative. He's the husband of Joe Biden's former top White House aide. And there are a lot

00:00:27.480 of aspects to this smoking gun, this whistleblower. But here, Rob Walker, the Biden family representative

00:00:34.420 says that if this whistleblower comes forward, he's going to bury them all.

00:00:38.620 If he doesn't come out on record, I am providing the fact that you're just going to just bury all

00:00:46.240 of us, man. Will the whistleblower bury all of the Bidens? Will this scandal finally undo Joe?

00:00:53.540 Will it even matter at all? Does this even matter at all to voters?

00:00:57.340 We will find out. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:08.280 Is this whistleblower going to be the decisive October surprise or is it just more talk,

00:01:14.120 talk, talk? Well, you know, if you want to talk very well, you got to go check out Pure Talk USA.

00:02:26.360 You can thank me later. You know, my favorite comment from yesterday, Thomas Egelhoff says,

00:02:32.820 Kamala Harris sounds like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, specifically. At first, she sounds like she's 0.98

00:02:37.860 about to cry. And all of a sudden, she bursts into laughter. Oh, man. I actually hadn't thought

00:02:44.140 of that before. But once you see that, you can't unsee that. Anytime in an interview that she gets

00:02:49.580 any question other than, Kamala, why are you so beautiful? Any question that requires her to

00:02:55.260 think at all, she gets very shaky and nervous. You saw this yesterday when she was asked what her

00:03:00.620 perspective is. And she said, uh, and then she went right to identity politics. My perspective is a

00:03:05.400 black woman and a immigrant and a, and a woman. And, uh, and just, it didn't. And then she bursts 0.99

00:03:11.160 into the bizarre laughter. So yes, I guess Kamala is the Joker. Very scary stuff, especially because

00:03:17.420 Joe Biden seems to be on the ropes. Tucker Carlson got this interview yesterday with a whistleblower

00:03:22.900 because of course he did because Tucker gets all of these great scoops on cable TV. This is, uh,

00:03:28.420 this is not Tucker's former business partner. This is Hunter's former business partner, Tony

00:03:31.980 Bob Yelinski. Uh, Tony has, has said that he has had conversations with the Biden family,

00:03:39.420 with Jim Biden in particular, that's Joe Biden's brother, obviously with Hunter Biden. Apparently

00:03:45.380 Jim Biden said that Joe knows about all the corruption, but he has plausible deniability.

00:03:50.960 So he'll get away with it. I'm thinking about the Biden family. Like how are they doing this?

00:03:56.620 I know Joe decided not to run in 2016, but what if he ran in the future? Aren't they taking political

00:04:03.800 risk or headline risk? And I remember looking at Jim Biden and saying, how are you guys getting away

00:04:09.960 with this? Like, aren't you concerned? And he sort of, he looked at me and he laughed a little bit and

00:04:15.080 said, uh, plausible deniability. He said that out loud? Uh, yes. He said it directly to me one-on-one

00:04:22.420 in a cabana at the Peninsula Hotel after about a, you know, hour and a half, two hour meeting with

00:04:27.780 me asking out of concern, how are you guys doing this? Aren't you concerned that you're going to

00:04:32.640 put your brother's, you know, future presidential campaign at risk? Um, you know, the Chinese, 1.00

00:04:38.440 the stuff that you guys have been doing already in 2015 and 2016 around the world. And, uh, I just

00:04:44.780 can almost picture his face where he sort of chuckles and says, you know, plausible deniability.

00:04:49.400 Plausible deniability. Well, I think that's probably true. Now you do have to ask yourself,

00:04:55.240 okay, why is this whistleblower coming forward? Does he have some beef with Hunter Biden? I think

00:05:00.220 Hunter Biden probably has a beef with a lot of people because Hunter Biden behaves like a degenerate.

00:05:04.140 So it could be maybe he doesn't like Joe Biden now. Maybe who knows why he's, he's turned on the

00:05:09.760 Biden family, but he's, he's acknowledging the years of corruption that we have seen hints of before.

00:05:16.460 And then he gets specific. He gets specific on the geopolitical adversary that we're all so

00:05:22.280 worried about these days, China. And, and Tony comes out and says, Joe Biden effectively is owned

00:05:29.280 by China. The Chinese and CFC, uh, never viewed me. I'm insignificant and irrelevant in this

00:05:36.000 discussion to them. It was always the Biden family. It wasn't Hunter Biden. It wasn't Jim Biden. It was

00:05:42.180 the Biden family who's obviously led and, um, and operated by Joe Biden. And in a document that

00:05:48.820 you guys have, and, uh, I think it's been provided to, you know, to the world, the Chinese referenced

00:05:54.160 that because of their trust in, uh, the Biden family, the chairman and director Zhang are excited

00:06:01.000 about moving forward in this. And in that document, they referenced loaning $5 million to the BD family,

00:06:07.520 right? The BD family is the Biden family. And notice they didn't say we're loaning that money

00:06:13.300 to Oneida holdings, or we're loaning that money to Tony Bobulinski, or we're loaning that money to

00:06:18.960 James Gillier or Rob Walker. They, once again, not a document generated by me, a document generated by

00:06:25.340 CFC that they're loaning that money to the Biden family. So I think Joe Biden and the Biden family are

00:06:30.960 compromised.

00:06:31.340 I think all of that is true. So is this the big shocking revelation less than two weeks until the

00:06:38.400 election that's going to undo Joe Biden? No, I don't think so. I don't think so.

00:06:44.920 What new information is being presented here? We're getting more evidence that Joe Biden is

00:06:49.260 corrupt. So that's good because we are seeing ties, not just between Hunter Biden and some corrupt

00:06:54.660 people, but James Biden, not just James Biden, but Joe Biden. And we already knew this because

00:06:59.240 Hunter Biden doesn't have any skills. So of course, the only reason he would be hired and paid

00:07:04.140 by these foreign oligarchs is to get access to his dad. He denied that he gave access to his dad. Now

00:07:10.600 these emails have come out and said, yes, he did give access to his dad. Yes, he, these people did

00:07:14.600 meet with his dad. Yes, his dad is a big crook. So what? We already knew that. I look, I wish that I

00:07:22.120 could be as excited as everybody else's over these revelations. I just think it's baked into the cake.

00:07:27.080 Do you think any Biden voter is going to change his vote now because these revelations have come

00:07:32.240 out? I don't think so. Biden's been a crook politician for 50 years. Do we really, do we

00:07:38.280 really think now they're going to say, oh, well, I knew he was a crook for 50 years, but you know,

00:07:42.120 now he's getting money from China. Okay. We've got to switch our votes. Maybe a little bit on the

00:07:46.380 periphery, but I actually, I don't think this is going to matter too much. I think the one effect

00:07:51.640 this could have on the race is it could motivate conservatives. I was talking to Senator Cruz about

00:07:57.000 this yesterday on our show verdict. There are two kinds of, of campaigns. There are the persuasion

00:08:01.760 campaigns and there are the get out the vote campaigns, right? There's the one where you want

00:08:05.160 to win over people in the middle. The other is where you want to turn out your own base. This is

00:08:08.440 emphatically the latter. Everyone has had a strong opinion on Donald Trump since the eighties. Okay.

00:08:13.500 Nobody is undecided here. So it's all about getting out the vote. Part of the reason why the left

00:08:17.640 always pushes negative polls is to demoralize conservatives. So we don't show up to the polls

00:08:21.920 and then they can win before anyone had to go out and actually vote. So if we've got the kind of

00:08:26.920 evidence that Hunter Biden is corrupt, it could have the effect of getting us more and more excited

00:08:31.560 about this, thinking there's a chance Joe Biden doesn't, doesn't win the race, you know, thinking

00:08:36.120 the Biden family is collapsing and going out and voting. If it has that effect, I'm happy, but I don't

00:08:40.240 think we need to focus too much on this. I think we need to focus more on the absolute disaster Joe

00:08:44.800 Biden would be for this country and the fact that the guy can barely finish an English sentence.

00:08:49.760 Joe Biden is unheard of in, in modern presidential politics. Joe Biden has effectively sworn that he

00:08:58.100 won't campaign anymore for the last two weeks of this race. That's very strange. He thinks he's in

00:09:03.520 a good position. He thinks the polls are behind him. So he's just going to stay at home. So he doesn't

00:09:07.260 give himself the opportunity to screw up any more than he already has. Nobody is trying to get him to

00:09:12.400 show up out of the mainstream media, out of the democratic establishment. The only guy who is

00:09:16.720 trolling Biden into getting back onto the campaign trail is the master troll in chief, President

00:09:22.440 Trump, who says that Joe Biden has basically given up on life. Joe Biden's been accusing Trump of

00:09:38.600 waving the white flag of coronavirus, surrendering on coronavirus. He said, no, I'm not doing that.

00:09:43.760 Joe Biden's waving a white flag. He's waving a white flag on life because he knows that if he goes

00:09:47.260 out and he talks and he says hello to anybody, he's going to screw up. So he's hiding in his basement

00:09:51.300 right after Trump says this, what happens? Joe Biden decides to come out of hiding. I'm, I'm not sure

00:09:59.840 that this corruption stuff, it really matters, but Biden is hiding anyway, because he doesn't want to

00:10:04.420 have to answer questions on Hunter. He doesn't want to have to answer questions on, on any of these

00:10:09.700 other people. So Joe Biden shows up and he's at a campaign event and they've got a band there and

00:10:16.800 he's going to go give a speech. You've seen the Trump rallies. You've seen what, 20,000 people there,

00:10:22.420 30,000 people there sometimes. And then you see the Biden rally. Joe Biden shows up, the band is playing.

00:10:28.960 There were probably 18 people in the room. He walks down the stairs.

00:10:38.200 They're playing Midnight Train to Georgia, which is kind of a depressing song to be playing during

00:10:42.440 a campaign, right? Because it's all about a guy who failed. LA was too much for the man. And so he's

00:10:47.160 living the life he's come to know. Biden's got his little circles there. I don't even know if it's

00:10:51.440 18 people. It's not, it's not even 18. It's probably a dozen people. Okay. A little bit more on the side.

00:10:57.020 So, okay. 18 people. You got probably more staff there than guests.

00:11:02.720 And he's, he's old. So it's taking him forever to walk to the stage. He's trying to run a little

00:11:07.940 bit, but that's awkward. Handful of claps. He's leaving. He is leaving on that Midnight Train.

00:11:19.880 I know that the polls say that Biden is way up. Maybe Biden is way up. Maybe Biden's going to win.

00:11:25.000 Maybe it's going to be a blowout for Joe Biden, but you've got to admit it's kind of weird

00:11:29.220 that Trump gets tens of thousands of people to show up to his rallies and Joe Biden can't get

00:11:35.440 20 people to show up to his rallies. You got to admit that is kind of weird. I've never seen

00:11:41.700 enthusiasm so skewed in a race where the polls are so tight. What does that mean? Does that mean the

00:11:49.120 polls are wrong? Does that mean that libs are so afraid that they're just staying in their homes

00:11:52.380 because they're afraid of the flu? What is it? What does that really mean? Does it mean that they

00:11:57.980 just got the time wrong on Joe Biden's rally? Well, they should have worn a movement watch.

00:12:02.820 Movement watches are all about looking good while keeping it simple. Okay. They don't tell you how

00:12:07.900 many steps you've taken. They don't tell you how fast your heart is beating and how you slept it out.

00:12:13.320 They don't do that. You know what they do? Like watches are supposed to do. They tell the time.

00:12:17.600 That's it. They tell the time like true classic time pieces and you look good while you're wearing

00:12:23.180 them. Movement was a crowdfunded startup. It's kind of hard to even remember that now because

00:12:27.540 it's such a popular watch brand. Crowdfunded startup. They did very, very well as a crowdfunded

00:12:33.720 startup. Now they're one of the biggest watch brands in the world. Okay. They wanted real quality

00:12:37.600 products for everyone. Started by two college dropouts. Now they have almost 2 million watches sold

00:12:42.720 in over 160 countries. I've been wearing movement watches for years now. They were one of the earliest

00:12:47.640 sponsors on this show and they start at just 95 bucks. Okay. You would be looking at $400, $500

00:12:54.640 for the same quality from a traditional brand in a department store. Get 15% off today with free

00:13:22.700 So Biden can't muster any of these people to actually show up. I think this matters much

00:13:29.620 more than the corruption. I think we got to focus on how there's no enthusiasm, why there's no

00:13:34.680 enthusiasm, what his plans will mean for the country, for the economy, what his plans will mean

00:13:38.840 socially, what his plans will mean for the structure of our government, court packing,

00:13:42.400 and what his cognitive issues mean for the presidency. Joe Biden was asked one of these

00:13:51.060 events. He was asked about Amy Barrett. And this should be a slam dunk. This is one of the

00:13:57.720 top issues on the entire campaign, the Supreme Court and this confirmation that just happened a

00:14:03.720 couple of days ago. Joe Biden, he couldn't seem to string the thoughts together.

00:14:09.280 Here's the deal. One of the things that is important is that keep in mind, although they're

00:14:18.540 going to vote on Barrett. That is so embarrassing. It's embarrassing for Joe. It's embarrassing for

00:14:39.340 the campaign. Senator, tell us about Amy Barrett. Okay, well, here's the deal. The thing about it is

00:14:45.320 they're going to vote today or is it yesterday or they're going to, uh, uh, who, and I actually,

00:14:52.000 I don't even want to make fun of him for it. Anybody who's had aegid friends or relatives knows 1.00

00:14:56.980 this happens. You know, it's a senior moment, except with Joey has senior moments all of the time.

00:15:02.660 Don't begrudge him that, uh, you know, it's going to happen to all of us probably someday if we live

00:15:06.460 that long, but it doesn't mean that you should be president while you're having those issues.

00:15:12.100 If you cannot give an opinion on the Supreme court confirmation that just happened, you should not

00:15:19.800 be president. You don't have the stamina to do it. And his campaign staff knows that we've been

00:15:24.500 seeing this for months and months in the mainstream media are denying it, where Joe will start trying

00:15:28.480 to talk to the press and he'll start rambling and they will take him by the arm and lead him away.

00:15:34.080 Like, come here, come here, old grandpa. And so come here, come here to old Joe, you know,

00:15:37.800 let's go. We're going to, again, if, if Joe were just their grandpa, perfectly fine,

00:15:43.060 a lovely interaction, but he's not, he's trying to be president. Uh, Barrett the today is sort of,

00:15:48.560 okay, bye. And just leads them away. And the press won't ask a question about it because the press

00:15:52.620 are campaign operatives for, for Biden. Now, some of the Biden gaffes have been a little bit funnier.

00:16:00.100 Maybe they're Freudian slips. I don't know. Just yesterday, Joe Biden was talking about,

00:16:04.960 uh, about his wife and then Kamala Harris and Kamala's wife, but my wife, Jill, as you know, 0.98

00:16:11.220 and Doug Emhoff, uh, Kamala's wife are there. Kamala will be back, uh, later this week. I think

00:16:16.880 on Friday. That may have been a Freudian slip, which is obviously where you say one thing,

00:16:20.820 but me and your mother. So Joe talks about Kamala's wife. He meant to say her husband, I guess

00:16:25.760 those issues. I know it's counterintuitive, but I think those issues are going to matter much more.

00:16:32.060 Here, here's my evidence. We've known about the Joe Biden corruption stuff. Well, we've known about

00:16:38.620 it for many years, but in the campaign, this has been a hot topic of discussion for at least six,

00:16:43.100 eight months. Didn't skew anything. Remember after that first debate, Trump was going really hard at

00:16:49.300 Biden actually probably helped Biden in the debate. That second debate did not go as well for Joe Biden.

00:16:55.400 Actually, right after the second debate, one of the big trends that took place on Google was,

00:17:01.920 can I change my vote? Well, why, why was that? It's because Joe Biden and the moderator and the

00:17:09.860 entire established presidential debate commission forced Joe Biden to have to finish his sentences.

00:17:15.080 It was actually a miscalculation. They thought they were helping Biden by doing it, but it didn't help

00:17:18.620 Biden. So he had to finish the sentences and he seemed weak and he didn't have an answer and he seemed a

00:17:24.420 little bit radical, but more than that, he seemed like he wasn't all there. So people asked, can I

00:17:29.300 change my vote? Now this is very difficult because 62 million votes have already been cast.

00:17:36.040 People have already voted. This is a big problem with early voting. Early voting should not exist.

00:17:41.520 Absinthe ballots should exist in very limited circumstances where you solicit ballot, but

00:17:46.120 otherwise you should vote on election day. There are a lot of shenanigans that go on. We've already

00:17:50.860 heard about a lot of shenanigans out of Philly, out of New York, out of New Jersey, places where

00:17:54.920 people are messing around a little bit sometimes with the votes. You find a box of ballots on the

00:18:00.540 side of the road in some places. Election security is very difficult. Campaigns have election security

00:18:05.900 on election day, but you can't have election security for two months. And also we're in a

00:18:09.740 campaign. Campaigns are about persuading people. New things happen. You time your campaigns for how

00:18:15.060 it's going to affect election day. We should only have election day with some absentee ballots in

00:18:20.780 limited circumstances because now people want to undo their votes. Can they do it? In some places

00:18:26.420 they can. So this is worth, I suspect if you're listening to this show, you're not having second

00:18:30.880 thoughts. You know, you didn't vote for Joe and then now you're considering switching. Maybe though,

00:18:36.200 maybe we do have a number of Democrats and left-wingers who listen to this show. So maybe I've changed

00:18:39.940 your mind. If you happen to live in New York, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota,

00:18:44.140 Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, Mississippi, Idaho, and Connecticut, you may be able to amend your vote.

00:18:50.440 There are different rules in all of those places. If you live in any of those states, if your loved

00:18:54.640 ones live in any of those states and they want to change their vote, they sometimes can, but they've

00:18:59.780 got to act early. And then in the future, I think we need to get rid of this early voting entirely

00:19:06.320 because it is unfair to people. It is unfair to the candidates and it is open to fraud. But I

00:19:14.040 suspect there are going to be a lot of changes to our system after this presidential race. Because

00:19:20.020 if the Democrats win, they've already told us they're going to try to add two more states,

00:19:23.620 Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, they're going to try to get rid of the electoral college. 0.52

00:19:27.380 They're going to try to pack the Supreme Court. I mean, we're talking about major changes.

00:19:32.200 Some people believe that, and this has been an explicit pitch of the Joe Biden campaign.

00:19:37.540 They believe if Joe Biden gets elected, things go back to normal. If Trump gets elected,

00:19:42.140 if he gets reelected, then they're going to keep burning down the cities and things are

00:19:45.360 going to get worse and worse and worse. And Joe Biden with a not so veiled threat says,

00:19:48.860 we can't take four more years of this. Meaning we can't take four more years of the cities being

00:19:54.060 burned down. So vote for me, you know, sure as a nice country you have, there would be a,

00:19:57.460 would be a shame if something happened to it. But I don't think things are going to get better

00:20:01.960 if Joe Biden gets elected. I'm not even convinced that they're going to lift the coronavirus

00:20:04.960 restrictions. That's always been a joke too. We've said November 4th, they're going to cure

00:20:08.960 coronavirus maybe, or maybe they just took a lot of power and they're going to keep it.

00:20:12.140 Think about, if you're a conservative, think about how brutal the Obama ears were. The Obama years 0.55

00:20:20.180 were. Obama's ears are also brutal. No, the Obama years were very tough for us because he would just

00:20:28.100 stick his finger in our eye all the time. And he would, he would talk about the right side of history

00:20:33.160 and how we were bitter clingers. And he used the IRS to, to mess up our nonprofit organizations.

00:20:38.800 He would just poke his finger in our eye. It was very annoying. I think we have to admit

00:20:43.180 Trump has done the same to the left. He hasn't committed the crimes that the left committed,

00:20:50.180 you know, abusing the federal government, spying on his opponents. He hasn't, he actually hasn't done

00:20:54.100 that. But from a rhetorical standpoint, he has done that. And they are going to be out for blood.

00:21:00.060 And they are so furious that Trump was elected in the first place. They refused to accept that

00:21:05.200 it was legitimate, but they're so furious. They are going to ratchet up the level of national

00:21:11.140 tension. It will not go down. The most persuasive pitch of the Biden campaign is return to normalcy.

00:21:17.840 We're not returning to normal. No matter who wins this election, we're not returning to normal. There

00:21:21.820 will be major, major political battles that will cut to the core of our constitutional government.

00:21:28.780 And unfortunately there might be more, what's the euphemism? Civil unrest. You've seen it now for

00:21:34.540 months and months and months. That's why you've got to know how to protect yourself. Personal Defense

00:21:38.220 Network, PDN, is an educational community built by patriots just like you that provides vital,

00:21:44.420 easy to understand real world tips, techniques, and tactics. The PDN team has the world's best

00:21:49.540 instructors and they've been delivering life-saving information to people like you for over 15

00:21:53.840 years. Learn how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. All of PDN's contributors are active

00:21:59.540 educators. They know what they're talking about. They teach life-saving skills to military personnel,

00:22:03.980 law enforcement, people just like you all around the world. You may be the last line of defense when

00:22:08.780 that evil comes calling. So it is never too soon to be prepared. I'm really thrilled about PDN because

00:22:15.940 look, I like going out and shooting guns and I've, I've done a little, uh, little type of personal

00:22:21.600 defense training before. They call it Krav Maga. I call it Krav Maga in, in my being a conservative

00:22:27.200 American. That's so, you know, so I've done some of these things, but I'm not that good at it. I don't 1.00

00:22:30.880 really know how to, how to use these personal defense techniques all that well. So I love having

00:22:36.340 these personal instructors that can be beamed right in, uh, through my screen so I can,

00:22:41.700 I can learn it in, uh, in my own comfort and then put those tactics into use. Go to

00:23:08.380 I think there are big changes coming around. You've even seen this language from the left in

00:23:14.560 recent, in recent days. They've talked about the green new deal, right? The, evoking the new deal

00:23:20.660 is evoking Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The new deal was a major, some say irreversible structural change

00:23:28.520 to our constitutional order. You've heard about court packing. That's actually another idea that came

00:23:32.600 from FDR. You've heard about lots of other major changes. Well, the Lincoln Project, the Lincoln 0.50

00:23:39.960 Project is out with a, a very scary commercial. Well, you know, the Lincoln Project are a bunch of

00:23:44.980 these con artists, unemployed ex-Republican operatives and campaign consultants. So they're,

00:23:51.200 they're raising a lot of money from left-wingers and they've aired this commercial with a big fear

00:23:56.720 that if President Trump gets re-elected, he might never give up power.

00:24:01.100 Hey honey. Hey mommy. You asked me to wake you and tell you what happened in the election.

00:24:31.100 who won? Trump. Trump won. But I thought you could only be president two times.

00:24:43.240 Not anymore.

00:24:46.880 Help for you! Help for you! Help for you! Help for you! Help for you! Help for you!

00:24:55.540 The Lincoln Project is responsible for the content of the... Of course the Lincoln Project is

00:25:02.120 responsible. Now there is a real irony here, which is these left-wingers, and I include the Lincoln

00:25:07.480 Project among them, are talking about how we need a new deal like FDR gave us, how we need to pack the

00:25:14.140 courts like FDR tried to do. And we need to be very afraid of Trump running for a third term like,

00:25:20.440 wait for it, FDR did. Also ran for a fourth term. Actually, the only way we got rid of that American 1.00

00:25:25.960 monarch was because he died in office finally. And then they passed a constitutional amendment to stop

00:25:30.840 people from doing that. Every president before FDR had followed George Washington's example and not

00:25:37.220 served more than two terms. Except for FDR, the American monarch, the one that the left wants to go back

00:25:44.000 to. This is what the left does. They always, always project. I mean, I got to tell you, that commercial

00:25:49.640 got me really excited for Trump's third term. I just, I don't think he's willing to do it.

00:25:54.540 I want him to go in like Charles II and say, Congress, you are dissolved. Go home. I am the emperor. It's

00:26:00.620 not going to happen. Not going to happen. Sorry, guys. Sorry, Lincoln Project. Now, the Lincoln Project,

00:26:06.400 none of them actually believe that's going to happen. The Lincoln Project is the most dishonest

00:26:10.720 hack movement in politics that I've seen in my lifetime. Okay. It is just pure grift. I know

00:26:17.900 that word gets abused a lot these days, grift and grifter. It means con artist and it's basically

00:26:23.080 used to apply to anyone that you disagree with. That's how it's become popular. But there is a

00:26:29.760 specific use of this and the specific use applies to the Lincoln Project. They are con artists. They

00:26:34.240 don't believe anything. The reason they started the Lincoln Project is because they were out of work

00:26:38.400 GOP campaign consultants who couldn't get hired anymore because it was Trump's party now and he

00:26:44.400 kicked all of them out. So they gave up all of their principles and became Democrats if they had any

00:26:49.260 principles in the first place. And they, a lot of them were in debt. Some of them were in, were

00:26:54.100 lobbyists for Russia. I mean, these, these are corrupt dudes who have been working in politics for a

00:27:00.160 very long time. So they just air a bunch of nonsense. But the way it works, actually my kind of

00:27:04.240 defense of the Lincoln Project and why I think some conservatives should come around to it is all

00:27:08.900 the Lincoln Project is doing is lining the pockets of these unemployable campaign consultants

00:27:14.560 by milking Democrats. So it is, the Lincoln Project is a wealth redistribution scheme to take

00:27:22.200 idiot gullible Democrats money and give it to unemployed GOP campaign consultants. 0.78

00:27:27.840 Give you another example. They just put a couple of billboards up in Times Square.

00:27:33.200 Jared Kushner saying, New Yorkers are going to suffer and that's their problem.

00:27:38.300 And this is a quote obviously taken way out of context from, from Jared Kushner. And then it's

00:27:42.360 next to one of Ivanka who, I don't know why Ivanka is on the, on the billboard, but it says

00:27:47.180 33,000 New Yorkers dead, 224,000 dead Americans. Like that's Ivanka's fault. Like Ivanka killed them.

00:27:56.260 Also, what, if the, if the number of New Yorkers dead is so disproportionate to the number of

00:28:01.300 Americans, maybe that's not the Trump's fault. Maybe that's the fault of Andrew Cuomo, the governor

00:28:07.140 of New York or Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York, right? I don't know why that would become

00:28:11.420 the Republicans fault, but it actually doesn't matter. Why are their billboards up in New York?

00:28:16.200 Why is a, a campaign organization that is dedicated to kicking Trump out of office? Why are they spending

00:28:23.020 their money, a lot of money on billboards in New York? Trump's not going to win New York.

00:28:28.640 It's not a battleground state. That's a, that's a Democrat state. The reason they're doing that

00:28:34.440 is so that they can advertise for the Lincoln project and get more money. They've been doing

00:28:39.240 this on Morning Joe. Nobody watches Morning Joe except for gullible leftists who are likely to give

00:28:45.800 money to leftist organizations. So they've been running advertisements on Morning Joe in Washington,

00:28:51.340 D.C. People aren't going to vote for Donald. They're going to, they're, Washington, D.C. is

00:28:56.400 taxation without representation to begin with, but they're not going to vote for Trump, you know,

00:29:01.860 even, even if they were going to play a significant role in the presidential election, they're not

00:29:05.000 going to vote for Trump there. It's just a way of taking money from Democrats. And that's totally

00:29:09.540 fine by me. It's kind of funny. I almost respect these con artists a little bit more than the crazy

00:29:14.780 people because there are these, these hacks like the Lincoln project. And then there are people who

00:29:19.040 genuinely believe this stuff that they're putting out there. There's one video in particular,

00:29:23.980 a woman crying in her bathtub over Trump that is not even over Trump, over Amy Coney Barrett. That

00:29:28.920 is really a work of performance art. You know, the presidential election is almost here. It's,

00:29:35.160 I can't believe how close it is. We have an amazing day of programming for you. Our live stream starts

00:30:11.340 with a lot more. Welcome back. You've seen these videos. It's a genre of video that I don't really

00:30:29.420 understand, which is hysterical women filming themselves crying. I don't know. I don't cry all

00:30:35.340 that much. Not saying that to brag, you know, not saying that to be macho here, but I just,

00:30:39.660 I don't cry a lot. You know, only if a dear, beloved family member dies, or if I see a

00:30:46.100 particularly gorgeous sunset and one tear just wistfully kind of falls down my cheek. But I

00:30:51.520 will say this. When I have cried, I do not have the impulse to film myself and then post it on TikTok.

00:31:01.220 I don't know. Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy. Maybe I'm a boomer. I don't have that impulse.

00:31:04.740 But a lot of these left-wing women do. One crazy lady decided to film herself in a bathtub, 1.00

00:31:12.840 weeping because a new justice was added to the Supreme Court.

00:31:18.080 Don't mind me. I'm in the bath, but while I'm in here, I got a notification that Amy Coney Barrett was 0.99

00:31:35.300 officially confirmed to the Supreme Court.

00:31:40.500 I didn't think I would be this affected by it, but I'm scared. I'm scared for me, other women,

00:31:54.160 people who need help, everyone except white men. So, um, please vote next week. Let's try to do 0.64

00:32:06.400 something. Yeah, man. White men are terrible. You know, I hate those guys because of their sex and 0.99

00:32:11.180 their race. You know, that's what makes me hate them so much because they're so bad. All the other 1.00

00:32:14.960 people are so much better. You know, isn't that, that's, that is what they believe. This is even

00:32:20.340 this like silly, frivolous white liberal woman. Why is she afraid? What is she scared of? 1.00

00:32:27.360 I guess the only right of hers that Amy Barrett is threatening, that a conservative court would 1.00

00:32:33.940 threaten is the right to kill her child through abortion. But let's say worst case scenario for

00:32:38.080 this lady, let's say Roe versus Wade is overturned. That seems like an unlikely scenario, but if it were,

00:32:43.760 then in almost certainly the issue would go to the States. I assume this crazy lady lives in 1.00

00:32:49.300 a state that would permit abortion. So she still gets to kill her kid. Let's say she doesn't, 1.00

00:32:53.700 let's say she lives in the middle of Alabama or something. And so the state is actually going to

00:32:58.340 outlaw abortion if Roe versus Wade gets overturned. What does that mean for her? What is she

00:33:03.700 so afraid of? It means that she won't be able to kill her kid and she'll have to, you know,

00:33:08.140 have the kid for, if she does become pregnant, if her contraception doesn't work or something,

00:33:13.660 she's going to be uncomfortable for nine months and then give the kid up for adoption 1.00

00:33:17.080 or raise the kid if she wants to. That's it. That's what she's afraid of. That's the great fear

00:33:22.780 that has her cowering, crying in a bathtub is not being able to kill her hypothetical child. 0.99

00:33:29.740 Maybe in a very unlikely circumstance. That is a mania. That is hysteria.

00:33:39.640 This woman needs help. She needs a support network. I would say she should talk to her husband. 0.87

00:33:45.360 Something tells me though, maybe that's not a possibility. When society breaks down, when

00:33:53.960 the sense of family, most importantly, the basic building block of society, but also local

00:34:00.220 government, civic institutions, the church, your bowling league, your township, your state,

00:34:07.260 whatever, when all those things break down, you are left as an atomized individual. And the only

00:34:13.460 meaningful relationship that you can have is with the federal government.

00:34:16.320 So like if this, let's say this woman were married and her husband came home and cheated 0.56

00:34:22.700 on her, or, you know, I don't know, did sold, bet the family farm or whatever, did something,

00:34:27.540 that action would merit that reaction. That is the reaction of a personal affront in an intimate

00:34:34.500 relationship. But this woman's reaction makes it appear that her most intimate personal relationship

00:34:41.140 is with the federal government, which I think it probably is. Barack Obama pitched this as part

00:34:46.040 of his reelection campaign in 2012. He called it the life of Julia. You now can barely find it on

00:34:51.000 the internet. It was basically scrubbed from the internet. It described a woman named Julia, 0.91

00:34:55.840 this hypothetical woman from cradle to grave, having everything provided for her by the federal

00:35:01.480 government. No husband, no family, no local community, no nothing. At one point she chooses to

00:35:09.280 have a child. Doesn't get married, doesn't fall in love, doesn't go out. Nope, just chooses to have

00:35:13.500 a child. And then big daddy Obama, federal government will come in and provide for her. And then she dies 0.99

00:35:19.000 and she dies alone. And the federal government provides for that too. That's a bleak life. I'd be

00:35:23.740 crying too, if that were my life. What is this woman so afraid of? There are a lot of people like this

00:35:32.720 who believe, no, that the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court should not have a huge effect on your life.

00:35:38.620 If it is, something has gone wrong, both in politics and in your personal life.

00:35:45.460 Speaking of crazy people, by the way, speaking of people who are kind of

00:35:49.680 reacting in a poor way to the fundamental changes that have gone on in society.

00:35:55.980 I can't close the show today without getting to this very important headline.

00:36:00.100 Mother who realized she was gay at the same time as her husband came out as transgender says they're 1.00

00:36:10.740 happier than ever as a lesbian couple.

00:36:15.740 So let's, let me see. I think I need an advanced degree to understand that headline, but

00:36:20.940 Jenny, who's 37 and Sarah, who's 38 revealed to each other on the same night, uh, that Sarah,

00:36:31.000 who used to be Sean, told her, meaning his wife of 15 years, Jenny, that she, meaning he was

00:36:38.760 transgender. Immediately after that, Jenny told her husband, that's okay. I think I'm gay.

00:36:44.760 Now that seems a little too convenient for me. I don't, I don't look, I don't, uh, pretend to know

00:36:52.620 the particular situation of this family, but what, what the, the husband comes out and says, I, I'm a

00:37:00.060 woman. And that would seem to be a threat to the family. And so it does seem a little convenient for

00:37:05.520 the wife then to be like, oh no, that's cool. I'm a lesbian. Can we stay married please? And I guess

00:37:10.480 they're going to stay married and they've got kids. And it's, it's actually, I mean, it's a hilarious

00:37:14.140 story if, if you were able to separate the actual human suffering from it, but it's kind of a sad

00:37:18.920 story when you realize that they've got kids and this is not, this is not going to turn out well.

00:37:25.320 But what this really means, right? I don't know if this guy's had surgery or anything like that, but

00:37:29.540 nothing really has changed, right? It's still a guy married to his wife. He just, he just wears

00:37:37.920 dresses sometimes. That's the big change, but there's a lot of confusion around what is essentially

00:37:45.040 not that big of a shift. How did we get to that? I mean, it's a kind of funny tabloid story and we

00:37:51.340 can laugh about it and there've always been weird things that have happened in life, but what's

00:37:56.900 changed is that that is now mainstream, right? The difference is that's not just a sideshow at a

00:38:02.660 circus. That is now the mainstream and people believe that that is ontologically possible for a man to

00:38:07.220 become a woman simply by wishing it so. And for the wife then to just become a lesbian because she's still 0.99

00:38:12.780 married to a man, which means she's not a lesbian, but the man is pretending that he's a woman. So she 0.74

00:38:16.720 thinks she is a lesbian. That's all delusion. And yet we're pretending that that is legitimate. And why? 1.00

00:38:24.840 Because we have lost a sense of, of objective reality. We've lost a connection to objective reality.

00:38:30.640 We've lost a sense of what we are for, what our society is for, what family is for, the role of children in

00:38:36.380 that society. We've got another one that one of the most famous transgender activists in the entire 0.94

00:38:43.260 world, Jessica Yaniv, who is this big, creepy dude who has had very creepy interactions with children

00:38:49.280 and found himself in a little bit of legal trouble because of that. Well, this guy, all he does is go

00:38:55.060 around and sue people for not giving into his will. So he very famously put these immigrant beauty salon 0.98

00:39:03.060 workers out of business because he wanted them to give him a Brazilian waxing. And they wouldn't do

00:39:11.780 that because he's not a woman. And it's actually not, you actually can't give him a Brazilian waxing. 0.85

00:39:17.140 You have to give him what's called a manzillion waxing, which uses different material because men 0.92

00:39:21.020 and women are different. And he was very upset that they wouldn't do this. So because he was not able

00:39:26.000 to expose himself to these poor immigrant women and these poor immigrant women weren't willing to 1.00

00:39:31.680 fondle his genitals, he sued them and put them out of business. So he's doing this again 0.84

00:39:35.640 with a beauty pageant. This guy has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

00:39:41.520 because a female only beauty pageant would not allow him to participate because he's a man who has

00:39:48.760 male genitals. They were even willing to let him participate if he had the cosmetic surgery to make

00:39:55.080 him look more like a woman. But he hasn't even done that. He's just a dude in a dress. And so they said,

00:39:59.860 no, you're not allowed to do this. So now he's filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal

00:40:04.480 of Ontario. He's been doing this for a very long time. And I was wondering, there are two options

00:40:13.120 here. One is this guy should be sent to an insane asylum so he can stop making a nuisance of himself

00:40:17.940 for all these poor people that he's suing. And because he's obviously not flourishing in life,

00:40:22.920 so people who are this confused about reality should get special help. So that's one option.

00:40:28.560 But the other option, and I was just thinking about this, reading the story about the beauty

00:40:31.820 pageant after so many stories involving this guy, maybe he's just a conservative troll.

00:40:37.920 You ever think about that? Conservatives pile on this guy, Jessica Yaniv, a lot.

00:40:42.660 What if he's just a conservative troll? I'm not saying that he is or that I think he is,

00:40:48.460 but if he were, his behavior would be indistinguishable from what it is now.

00:40:51.980 Right? Because if men can really become women simply by wishing it so, why the hell shouldn't 0.84

00:40:59.340 that guy be in the beauty pageant? If men can, I'll take it even further. If men can simply become 0.98

00:41:04.380 women simply by wishing it so, why shouldn't he be allowed to get a Brazilian wax at the beauty 0.98

00:41:10.460 parlor? He's a woman. I'm sure the Human Rights Commission of Ontario or whatever organization he's

00:41:17.180 filing with believes, or at least states, that men can become women simply by wishing it so.

00:41:23.720 Our elite institutions in the United States certainly believe that. Federal government

00:41:27.420 believes that. The universities believe that. The bureaucracy believes that. The mainstream

00:41:32.420 media believe that. They all believe that. So why shouldn't that guy be allowed to get his

00:41:38.020 Brazilian wax? I don't know. This is one of these instances of, you know,

00:41:43.020 providence perhaps, or, or of, uh, you know, our enemy becoming our friend or of a silver lining in

00:41:49.400 a storm cloud. I think this guy is making a more conservative argument than just about anybody else,

00:41:56.160 anyone who could state it explicitly because he's showing the absurdity of a lot of these claims.

00:42:01.160 These women in bathtubs with their videos on TikTok are showing the absurdity of the left much better 0.99

00:42:06.800 than, than any conservative who's trying to make arguments. We'd like to make reasoned arguments,

00:42:10.840 but they are showing it in many ways. And I do think that showing, going out there, doing,

00:42:16.460 I do think this is going to be the decisive factor in the campaign. I don't believe,

00:42:21.040 I'm sorry to say, I'm glad Tucker got a great scoop and it was a great interview and it's cool

00:42:24.660 that he did it. And it provides more context for, for those of us who don't like Biden. But I don't

00:42:29.260 think that these kind of reasoned nuanced arguments about Joe Biden's corruption or anything else is

00:42:36.120 going to win the presidential race. I think this race is all about doing, going out,

00:42:41.580 actually hitting the campaign trail, talking to people, showing in your behavior, the kind of

00:42:47.180 society that you want to have. And that's what they're doing. You know, Mike Pence, a lot of his

00:42:51.440 staff the other day was infected with coronavirus. And so there was some question as to whether or not

00:42:56.400 he would jump off of the campaign trail. And he said, no, I'm going to keep campaigning.

00:43:01.320 I am going to keep going out there as he damn well should. But the experts tell you not to. Well,

00:43:08.820 I don't care about the experts. I'm not, I am not ruled by the experts. So I am going to keep

00:43:14.980 campaigning. And that's that. That's what they've got to do. This is not a persuasion campaign. This

00:43:21.340 is a get out the vote campaign. Nobody cares about Joe Biden's corruption. Go on and get at the vote.

00:43:27.840 Now, before we go, I do have to address one issue people have written in asking about this,

00:43:30.660 which is Pope Francis's confusing comments on civil unions. I don't know if you saw this. It

00:43:36.700 was reported in the newspapers that Pope Francis is now embracing laws for civil unions, which is

00:43:42.780 just a sort of euphemism for redefining marriage to include monogamous same-sex couples, but not other

00:43:47.860 types of couples, not polygamous couples, not right. But it's this very narrow way. And they're saying

00:43:52.360 it's a human right now in certain places. So does Pope Francis support civil unions? Catholic 1.00

00:43:57.620 church cannot support civil unions as far as I can tell. Obviously, you know, I'm not a canon law

00:44:03.520 expert, but that would appear to be the case. So what happens here? Well, Pope Francis has said in

00:44:08.380 the past, back when he was Cardinal Bergoglio in Argentina, he said that the redefinition of marriage

00:44:13.340 is it's not a matter of irrational animus. It's not a matter of hatred. It's not a matter of I don't

00:44:19.440 like this type of person or this type of person. It's a fundamental change to the order of society

00:44:25.220 and of politics. And it has a spiritual dimension. He said, it's no mere bill, but rather a machination

00:44:30.900 of the father of lies that seeks to deceive and confuse the children of God. From the very

00:44:35.780 beginning, this debate over gay marriage or civil unions or whatever has been pushed by the left as

00:44:43.760 a matter of rights and a matter of hatred. And, you know, if you don't want to fundamentally change

00:44:48.980 the definition of marriage that has existed everywhere for all of human history, which,

00:44:53.800 though it has had some details changed, has always involved sexual difference, the union of husbands

00:44:59.600 and wives, if you don't want to fundamentally redefine that, then you hate gay people, right? 0.88

00:45:05.840 That's the only conclusion, right? I don't think so. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

00:45:13.080 But that was a successful argument. They did. They were able to frame it as a question of rights

00:45:16.920 rather than merely a question of definitions. What they actually did, to use the technical term,

00:45:22.520 is beg the question. They assumed their own conclusions, namely that marriage could be

00:45:27.560 a union without sexual difference. And then, because they had defined it that way,

00:45:32.580 they said that everyone has to have that right. So what did Pope Francis say? I don't know what

00:45:36.080 Pope Francis said. The Vatican is coming out and in some ways disputing his comments and saying he was

00:45:40.080 misquoted, he was misinterpreted. Papa Francesco is always a misinterpreted, but for some reason he

00:45:45.180 keeps a talking to all of these abatter journalists. So my only conclusion on this is the teaching of 1.00

00:45:52.640 the Catholic Church, the dogma of the Catholic Church, cannot change. Fundamental teachings cannot

00:45:58.080 change. The Pope's role is to explicate teaching, to develop teaching, to deepen teaching, perhaps,

00:46:07.740 but can't contradict the teaching of the church. Popes are fallible, except when they are infallible.

00:46:13.720 People hear about papal infallibility, and they say that everything the Pope says must be true. If

00:46:17.560 the Pope says two plus two equals five, it has to be true. That's not what papal infallibility means.

00:46:21.940 Papal infallibility has been invoked, I believe, two times in the history of the Catholic Church.

00:46:26.340 So the Pope is fallible, except when he's infallible. And just as a general rule, I'm not even just

00:46:31.080 talking about Francis specifically, just as a general rule, sometimes the good Lord gives us bad

00:46:36.040 Popes. And this has happened many times. And by the way, it's perfectly acceptable. I know some 0.69

00:46:41.740 more trad conservative Catholics are saying we're not allowed to criticize the Pope here.

00:46:46.520 Criticism of the Pope is a longstanding tradition in the Catholic Church. Dante put two Popes in hell

00:46:51.580 with their heads in dirt and flames burning the soles of their feet. So this has been going on for a

00:46:57.320 very long time. I don't think we need to rush to judgment. I don't think we need to be needlessly

00:47:01.040 harsh in our criticism, but we can be clear about it. And I just wouldn't, I wouldn't worry so much.

00:47:09.380 I wouldn't agonize over every single statement as though that by virtue of the Pope saying it became

00:47:13.680 gospel truth because the Pope has the particular responsibility to declare gospel truth, but he

00:47:20.640 cannot contradict it. All right, that's our show. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles
