Lots of irregularities going on in the vote count in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona.
00:00:36.760
We'll go through a number of them on the show, but you remember even starting on election night,
00:00:43.660
Some of them have stopped counting for days at a time, all extremely suspect.
00:00:48.180
But the main charge right now against Democrats among people who think maybe there are some
00:00:53.700
problems with this vote count, the main charge is that Democrats are stuffing ballot boxes.
00:00:59.540
And even though we're talking about a lot of new things that have never happened in elections
00:01:02.580
before, stuffing ballot boxes is an American tradition that goes back to the earliest days
00:01:09.140
In fact, a sitting president, Democratic president, once taught a future Democratic president how
00:01:30.000
My favorite comment from yesterday is from God So Loved, who says,
00:01:34.620
pollsters, like the news media, are just another propaganda arm of the Democrats.
00:01:39.000
This is true, but it's not true exactly in the way that people might think.
00:01:43.380
The pollsters got this election completely wrong.
00:01:47.420
There is no reason to listen to these pollsters anymore, but pollsters have gotten other elections
00:01:51.660
And I'm not saying they're awful, terrible people or anything.
00:01:57.700
The reason that the polls are wrong, the reason that the polls are part of the same propaganda
00:02:02.120
wing as, as the Democrats is because they're part of the whole progressive system.
00:02:07.280
When progressivism rose up about a century ago, a little more than a century ago now,
00:02:11.200
I guess, it rose up with the modern university and the social sciences and public opinion
00:02:17.260
polling and statistics, statistics itself referring to the state, meaning matters of
00:02:23.860
the state referring to the modern state, the administrative state, the progressive state.
00:02:27.280
All of these things are part of the same system.
00:02:30.000
And so when the system is working very well, they all kind of work well together.
00:02:33.780
But when that system stops reflecting reality, when that system starts to break down, then
00:02:40.480
And I think we are seeing that system begin to crumble.
00:02:42.980
This election is in many ways an attack, a, a, that system, that establishment striking
00:02:48.440
back, trying to preserve itself after Donald Trump swung a sledgehammer into it.
00:02:54.720
Joe Biden, who is the system, he is just the, the face, the avatar of the system.
00:03:01.300
I don't know, maybe for a long while, but he may not.
00:03:04.040
And I'm very glad that President Trump is fighting back about that.
00:03:09.860
There's so much chatter about what's happening in, in the individual states and in the individual
00:03:15.420
And if you want to talk very well, especially to your friends in Pennsylvania, Michigan,
00:03:20.620
What if there were a company that gave you an amazing deal every single day?
00:03:24.360
That is what you get with Pure Talk, a veteran run wireless company.
00:03:31.220
This company understands what it means to serve.
00:03:33.860
If you're using Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, you are overpaying for, for your service.
00:03:41.580
Now I know you think that I'm saying you could get similar coverage for much less.
00:03:45.720
I'm saying you could get the exact same coverage for much, much less.
00:03:49.760
Pure Talk can easily save you over $400 a year.
00:03:53.080
All you need, unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data for just 20 bucks a month.
00:03:57.760
And if you go over on data usage, they don't charge you.
00:04:02.200
Switching to Pure Talk is the easiest decision you will make today.
00:04:04.980
Grab your phone and you get to keep your number, or you can get great deals on the latest iPhones
00:04:15.480
Grab your phone, dial pound 250, say Michael Knowles, M-I-C-H-A-E-L-K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:04:20.360
When you do, you'll save 50% off your first month.
00:04:22.240
Dial pound 250 and say, keyword, Michael Knowles.
00:04:32.500
That's in one of former President Lyndon Johnson's biographies.
00:04:38.740
This guy had been stealing elections since college.
00:04:43.320
Then when he was a staffer on the Hill, there was a club called the Little Congress.
00:04:54.720
Other staffers on the Hill said, could you believe somebody would steal the presidency
00:05:04.600
He's running against Koch-Stevenson in the Democratic primary in Texas.
00:05:12.140
This was actually, he ran against Koch-Stevenson about seven years later.
00:05:19.220
He loses the 1941 race because the other guy stuffed the ballot box.
00:05:23.720
So he was friends with Franklin Roosevelt, who was then the president of the United States.
00:05:28.400
And Roosevelt was a sort of patron of Lyndon Johnson.
00:05:36.880
And Franklin Roosevelt said, Lyndon, apparently you Texans haven't learned one of the first
00:05:44.840
And that is that when the election is over, you have to sit on the ballot boxes.
00:05:50.060
Now, what FDR is saying to Lyndon Johnson is not necessarily corrupt.
00:05:54.560
He's not saying you got to stuff the ballot boxes.
00:05:56.780
But he's saying whatever happens to the ballot box, once the election is over,
00:06:01.000
you got to sit on them so that your opponent can't stuff that ballot box, so that no illegal
00:06:09.900
And then in the Senate race between Lyndon Johnson and Koch-Stevenson in 1948, Johnson did stuff
00:06:19.800
This went all the way up to the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court refused to get involved
00:06:29.000
And 202 of those votes, we now know with certainty, were fraudulent in that race.
00:06:33.960
All of that is to say, if somebody is going to call you a lunatic or a conspiracy theorist
00:06:41.040
or anything like that, because you raise the possibility, given a fair bit of evidence that
00:06:45.880
there are irregularities in voting, particularly with inflated numbers, you should laugh in their
00:06:53.760
Two Democratic presidents joked about it with one another.
00:06:59.020
And a trick here is that you got to sit on the ballot box.
00:07:02.600
It's not just about turning out your guys to vote.
00:07:05.020
I know the Trump campaign did a great job and get out the vote.
00:07:07.720
If the Trump supporters show up to vote, then you're going to win.
00:07:12.760
And what happened on election night was that multiple crucial counties in the country just
00:07:25.160
We're getting reports in that in certain places, and this wouldn't be enough to swing
00:07:28.680
the election, but it would be enough to change the vote count if it happened in multiple
00:07:33.860
Votes are being reported off by an order of magnitude when people are reporting them.
00:07:41.240
We know in Georgia, there's illegal ballots going on.
00:07:44.020
A Republican poll observer in Georgia saw 53 late absentee ballots illegally added to
00:07:50.280
a stack of on-time absentee ballots in Chatham County.
00:07:54.500
And the Republican official says that we will not allow Democrat officials to steal this election
00:08:00.740
It depends on the state, but in certain states like Georgia, if the ballot comes in late, it
00:08:06.860
Now, what the Democrats will say is we want every vote to count.
00:08:13.960
It's a heartstrings argument to say every vote in America, every voice has to count.
00:08:21.360
If I go vote right now, well, especially if I go vote because I'm a Republican, then my
00:08:28.200
If we're voting days after the election, your vote should not count.
00:08:30.880
But that was the thought process here among Democratic officials.
00:08:37.060
If you delay the count, more votes can come in.
00:08:40.700
And that's what Republican poll watchers are seeing happen in Georgia.
00:08:45.560
Another irregularity that's going on, you saw this in Wisconsin, is a major voter surge.
00:08:52.780
So voter turnout with 98% of precincts reporting shows that nearly 9 out of 10 registered voters
00:08:59.500
cast ballots, 89% of Wisconsin voters cast ballots.
00:09:04.580
Now, Wisconsin does have same-day registration, but we don't have the same-day registration numbers.
00:09:11.620
And I can just tell you, as a matter of elections, 89% is an implausible voter turnout number.
00:09:33.980
Now with same-day voter registration, maybe the number is, I don't know, 77, 78%.
00:09:43.800
President Trump got something like 5 million extra votes this year than he did in 2016.
00:09:50.500
Barack Obama got millions fewer votes in 2012 than he did in 2008.
00:09:57.720
President Trump got something like 5 million more votes, and it's still not enough?
00:10:03.780
I suppose it could be true, but it's very difficult to believe that.
00:10:08.400
Now, speaking of the poll watchers, at every election, this is why we have election day,
00:10:12.140
by the way, and why voting before election day is not legitimate in very narrow circumstances.
00:10:19.040
If you can't leave, if you have an absentee ballot, perhaps.
00:10:23.400
But election day exists for a reason, because people try to commit fraud.
00:10:27.500
And in Michigan, the poll watchers are not even being given access to the count.
00:10:31.440
So the reason that both campaigns have poll watchers, to make sure people aren't cheating.
00:10:35.960
In certain parts of Michigan, the Trump campaign poll watchers can't even get in.
00:10:41.240
Very difficult for me to believe that that's a fair count, if they're not letting them in.
00:10:44.980
In other places in this country, you saw election officials putting boards up on windows so that
00:10:50.960
the public could not look in and see the vote count.
00:10:57.680
I point to these individual irregularities, because one of them, if it were just one in
00:11:03.200
isolation, that would not be enough to say there's something illegitimate going on.
00:11:06.640
But when you add them all up, we can only touch on a handful on this show.
00:11:11.680
When you add them all up, you have to start wondering, what is going on here?
00:11:19.260
Also in Michigan, Michigan, crucial state that was going heavily for Trump.
00:11:23.620
Then, you know, you wait a few days and I don't know, something's changing.
00:11:28.840
The Antrim County clerk, Cheryl Guy, became aware of skewed results in the unofficial election
00:11:36.760
So early morning, this is yesterday, early morning unofficial results showed single digit
00:11:42.760
returns in the presidential race for Donald Trump in townships, including Chastonia, Echo,
00:11:48.220
Helena, and Torch Lake with 65 to 80% reporting.
00:11:51.920
So you're telling me there's going to be six or seven votes in those townships for Donald
00:12:02.560
But then in certain precincts there, Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates had many, many,
00:12:10.680
This is according to a former Michigan state lawmaker.
00:12:15.900
Two thirds of the townships looked really messed up.
00:12:22.360
This isn't just some conservative observer, conservative activist, a conservative politician,
00:12:27.940
This is the county clerk, county clerk saying something's really wrong here.
00:12:41.900
This is Nate Silver's outfit, which I don't remember.
00:12:43.920
I think the last time they predicted an election correctly was 2008 with Barack Obama.
00:12:53.580
Nate Silver says two more batches of Pennsylvania votes were reported around 23,277 votes in Philadelphia.
00:13:12.580
So even that number, 4,000 out of 5,300, very difficult to believe.
00:13:17.540
But it's extremely difficult for me to believe that 23,277 votes in Philly were all 100% for Joe Biden.
00:13:33.340
North Carolina, as far as I'm concerned, the biggest issue of all.
00:13:36.460
So we got results out of Florida, which is usually a very contested state, right?
00:13:44.500
Florida was the reason we had the 38-day recount for Bush v. Gore.
00:13:48.340
We got results out of Ohio, another contested state.
00:13:56.120
We've gotten results now out of West Coast states.
00:14:02.700
But North Carolina, polls closed very early there.
00:14:05.080
East Coast state, North Carolina, Trump doing very, very well in.
00:14:12.180
NBC News is estimating that about 300,000 votes are left to be tallied.
00:14:17.800
But North Carolina, first of all, why couldn't North Carolina count the votes?
00:14:22.560
But North Carolina's not even counting them anymore.
00:14:27.100
North Carolina did not count those ballots yesterday.
00:14:31.180
North Carolina says that they will not give us a number until November 12th.
00:14:46.660
You might suggest that one of the reasons that North Carolina's data, why their numbers aren't
00:14:52.960
going to come in until so late, is because if Joe Biden gets into trouble, it would certainly
00:15:02.740
What I do know is, ballot box stuffing is an undeniable American tradition, and specifically
00:15:15.100
Well, there is something conspiratorial about that.
00:15:16.600
It's a conspiracy to do it, but it's happened for a long time in this country.
00:15:20.940
The other thing is that it's not just one irregularity or two irregularities.
00:15:26.520
I want to make sure that I don't sound like Democrats in 2016 when I'm raising questions
00:15:31.980
Democrats in 2016 said, this is an illegitimate election.
00:15:56.380
Shutting down the counting, delaying the counting until November 3rd in North Carolina.
00:16:02.600
The multiple reports of Republican poll watchers not being allowed to look at the results.
00:16:06.660
The issue of Sharpies in Arizona that may raise questions over whether ballots could be
00:16:13.620
Apparently, election officials passed out Sharpies instead of pens.
00:16:17.920
There were some questions as to whether or not they could be counted.
00:16:23.680
All of these issues, and we haven't even scratched the surface, raise questions about
00:16:28.700
To say nothing of widespread unsolicited mail-in ballots, which are, which are truly unprecedented
00:16:35.160
The reason we have poll watchers in the first place is because there is so much opportunity
00:16:41.480
And the left is not going to admit that if the numbers just keep miraculously ticking
00:16:57.440
The breach potentially exposed customer data here.
00:17:03.240
You're going to want to make sure that you don't lose your email addresses, billing,
00:17:06.040
shipping addresses, telephone numbers, transaction histories.
00:17:08.800
The attack also impacted Nook and ebook services.
00:17:12.300
Some customers have been unable to access their Nook libraries.
00:17:15.580
Their previous purchases have disappeared and others were unable to log into the firm's

00:17:27.080

00:17:34.940
I know it seems like this kind of idea that, listen, nobody's coming for my dad and nobody's
00:17:41.680
And a little bit of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
00:17:44.640

00:18:03.480
The good news is President Trump is filing lawsuits in basically all of these states.
00:18:08.040
The Trump campaign filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia laying the groundwork
00:18:12.000
for contesting battleground states as he started to fall behind Joe Biden.
00:18:16.140
Because you'll notice if you look at the electoral count, somehow Joe Biden's numbers
00:18:19.480
just keep going up and we don't know why and it's all away from the public light.
00:18:23.340
When we were all watching the election on election night, when there were all those
00:18:29.260
But then when people started to look away and the system took over again, somehow Joe
00:18:37.160
These new filings join existing Republican legal challenges in Pennsylvania and Nevada.
00:18:41.540
They demand better access for campaign observers to where the ballots are being processed and
00:18:46.140
counted, where the absentee ballots are being counted.
00:18:53.320
President Trump needs to make sure not just that all the votes are counted.
00:18:56.500
President Trump needs to make sure that all of the votes are verified.
00:19:00.380
Okay, in that election in 1948 when LBJ stole the Senate seat, they found 202 ballots that
00:19:10.460
And the people who allegedly had voted said they never voted that day.
00:19:15.360
We're getting some, this is just anecdotal, but we're hearing from some people in Wisconsin
00:19:18.660
who called to find out if their votes have been counted.
00:19:25.980
It might be a selection bias or it might not be a selection bias.
00:19:29.980
By the way, they called Arizona on election night for Biden.
00:19:34.560
Actually, when I say they, I should be more specific.
00:19:38.500
Fox News called Arizona on election night for Joe Biden.
00:19:41.620
This was very, very early and no one else had done it.
00:19:45.120
And it was very strange because Fox News is supposed to be the conservative cable outlet.
00:19:48.600
So you would think, okay, if someone's going to call it for Biden that early, it's going
00:19:55.220
Now we're finding out, whoopsie daisy, actually there were many fewer votes that had come in
00:20:00.720
in Arizona than we were told on election night.
00:20:04.560
There's a data firm in Arizona right now, Data Orbital, which is saying that President
00:20:09.720
Trump is on track to win in Arizona, which backs up claims by the Trump campaign that
00:20:17.900
The decision to call Arizona on election night was perplexing to a lot of people because it
00:20:23.540
really set Trump back in terms of the media narrative.
00:20:26.180
And there, there seemed to be no reason for it.
00:20:27.660
It looked like a preposterous and irresponsible call.
00:20:31.540
I mean, you actually had hosts and correspondents from that network openly criticizing it on
00:20:41.700
I don't, I'm not going to speculate on what's going on over there, but this is a major issue.
00:20:46.380
If you've got even the, the ostensibly right-wing cable network now doing more work for the
00:20:54.700
left-wing groups than even the left-wing, left-wing networks, you've got protests right now outside
00:21:00.060
of the Maricopa County elections office in Arizona.
00:21:03.240
And the protesters are extraordinarily angry about the state being called.
00:21:08.100
A lot of people in the crowd are not wearing masks.
00:21:12.360
We're, we're keeping a respectful distance, but a loud and very boisterous crowd.
00:21:17.820
So you'll start here and then, uh, start up here.
00:21:28.880
The reason why they're chanting that is because Fox News called Arizona, uh, for Biden yesterday.
00:21:38.760
We have not called, uh, Arizona, uh, a lot of other.
00:21:41.880
So MSNBC, obviously very gleeful to be announcing that they're, they're chanting against their
00:21:49.240
Although I guess Fox really isn't a competitor at NBC or MSNBC.
00:21:54.340
What's interesting though, at the top of that clip is he walks out and he says, they're not
00:22:01.900
After eight months of BLM and Antifa burning the country down and protesting for whatever cause
00:22:07.120
they want to protest, usually on false evidence.
00:22:09.860
Now protests are bad that we're talking about our election.
00:22:12.480
I think, I think those protests are pretty justified, but people are very, very upset
00:22:20.520
And what's, what seems to be happening is what the left, I would say predicted, but I think
00:22:27.820
The left promised us that Trump was going to win the election on election day, but then
00:22:31.880
they were going to somehow come out winning the vote later on.
00:22:35.580
They were going to call it, they called it a red mirage.
00:22:37.640
The mirage is all the people are going to vote for you and you're going to see it with
00:22:40.720
your own eyes, but then don't worry later on, we're going to win.
00:22:47.540
Here is MSNBC's Joy Reid discussing how the red mirage turns out.
00:22:52.680
And I think partly because even though we knew the red wave was a thing and then the red
00:22:57.260
mirage, I should say the red mirage, we all knew it was coming, but when you're right
00:23:00.880
in the moment, it is, it's enervating, it's aggravating.
00:23:05.480
And I think partly, and I said this last night, I do think it's because we've been reporting
00:23:10.100
for five years, Rachel, about Russia, about national security, you know, just undermining
00:23:18.380
You know, the impeachment, the racism, the Nazis, all of it.
00:23:23.160
And then COVID laying on top of it felt like a repudiation was coming.
00:23:28.680
And I think even though we intellectually understand what America is at its base, right,
00:23:32.840
that there is a great amount of racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness, this idea that political correctness
00:23:38.960
is some sort of scheme to destroy white America, right?
00:23:42.000
Like we know what this country is, but you still, part of you, I think part of your heart
00:23:47.160
says, you know what, maybe the country is going to pay off all of this pain.
00:23:54.540
So you hear, first of all, how much the left despises this country.
00:24:04.220
They've got to vote for Democrats to pay off the pain and injustice of this country.
00:24:11.280
This woman is spouting her stupid nonsense on TV.
00:24:17.240
She's treated better by the law than people, basically any country on earth.
00:24:30.340
I know it sounds extreme, but she just said it.
00:24:33.960
She goes, this country, they've got to pay off all the pain and the damage and the injustice
00:24:40.740
The country doesn't have to pay off anything, lady.
00:24:45.600
I'm sorry that you're upset about some imaginary problem while you pontificate on television
00:24:50.600
and count your stacks of money and feel safe in your personhood and your property and in
00:25:07.280
And you heard at the top, you heard at the top, she says, we have a red mirage.
00:25:21.200
I think this is an article of faith for the left.
00:25:24.320
You always hear the left talking about how we have to defend democracy.
00:25:27.160
But it's ironic because the Democrats are the people who most undermine democracy.
00:25:32.720
Maybe, who knows, maybe you're seeing it now, but you certainly saw it in 2016.
00:25:36.440
The people like Donald Trump and then they tried to not even make that a possibility
00:25:43.100
because the deep state was spying on the Trump campaign.
00:25:46.780
But then Trump gets elected and they try to have a coup d'etat for three and a half years.
00:25:52.060
How are the Democrats in the name of democracy undermining democracy?
00:25:55.400
Because for the Democrats in their world, it is only legitimate to elect Democrats.
00:26:00.580
That is the only way an election can be legitimate.
00:26:05.220
And it is actually worth it to steal an election like they tried to do in 2016.
00:26:13.580
It is worth it, but we know for a fact that they tried to do it in 2016.
00:26:16.780
It is worth it to try to steal an election in the name of democracy.
00:26:22.360
A stolen election that elects Democrats is more legitimately Democratic for Democrats
00:26:26.480
than a legitimate election that elects Republicans.
00:26:33.940
And what's so crazy to me about the whole thing,
00:26:37.560
she's talking about the racism of Trump, the Russians and the Nazis and all this.
00:26:44.660
The idea that there are KGB agents and Nazis running around America right now is preposterous, right?
00:26:52.420
The idea that Donald Trump is a racist, preposterous, pure fantasy.
00:26:55.780
But this, she says, this is what we know about the country.
00:27:01.140
That's, that's, but now we're seeing, now Joe Biden hopefully will be elected.
00:27:06.480
And of course, those might be flipped in terms of their fantasies and their reality.
00:27:11.160
The really sad thing about it though is, is this whole experience reminded me,
00:27:16.060
There is no conservative outlet in the legacy media.
00:27:22.120
There is no conservative institution in the political establishment.
00:27:30.580
And there were some that I certainly thought were conservative.
00:27:36.060
In, I don't know, in the established higher education and the established,
00:27:42.040
even technology, some places in corporate America in, and of course, in the legacy news media.
00:27:51.720
There are court jesters in the kingdom of liberalism.
00:27:54.500
There were some conservative institutions that sort of pretend,
00:28:00.620
But then when push comes to shove and when the leftist hegemony is threatened,
00:28:06.020
they fold, they fold up and they play their part and they, they act the fool.
00:28:10.700
And they, in many ways, legitimize the reigning left-wing regime,
00:28:16.000
the liberal regime, by pretending that there's some disagreement here, but there's not.
00:28:20.820
And what President Trump did was he offered and continues to offer, I hope,
00:28:28.880
You had essentially one political party in recent decades until Trump.
00:28:34.680
You had a party that basically agreed on foreign policy.
00:28:37.940
Obama's foreign policy was not very much different than George Bush's foreign policy.
00:28:44.480
Obama's foreign policy was not really different than Bush's foreign policy or McCain's or Romney's.
00:28:51.040
Obama's immigration policy was not very different than McCain's or Romney's or George Bush's
00:29:02.160
And then on certain cultural issues, they kind of, they, the conservatives would kind of pretend
00:29:08.160
That's why we've lost all of those issues over the years.
00:29:11.240
There was basically one party and then Trump comes in and everyone just focuses on his personality.
00:29:15.360
But what really distinguishes Trump are the issues.
00:29:22.220
He opposed their liberal open borders immigration regime.
00:29:25.880
He opposed their liberal administrative state, deep state bureaucracy, whatever you want to call it, governing regime.
00:29:33.980
Just those three things would be enough such that the system cannot permit him to get elected again.
00:29:50.740
I guess in that way, the result could be a legitimate result.
00:29:54.140
But what we do know for sure is that this process has been far from it.
00:30:01.680
Just the unprecedented, unsolicited, widespread mail-in ballots alone are enough to raise questions.
00:30:08.800
But then you find out poll workers, poll watchers not allowed in, numbers getting corrected sometimes when people catch it.
00:30:16.720
The process itself raises a lot, a lot of questions.
00:30:23.200
Did you know that two out of three guys will experience some form of male pattern baldness by the time they're 35?
00:30:28.120
The best way to prevent hair loss is to do something about it while you still have hair left.
00:30:34.040
Keeps treatments typically take between four to six months to see results, so it is important to act fast.
00:30:39.500
The sooner you start using Keeps, the more hair you will save.
00:30:43.080
Find out why Keeps has more five-star reviews than any of its competitors and more than 100,000 men trust Keeps for their hair loss prevention medication.
00:30:53.720
Plus, for a limited time, you can get your first month for free.
00:30:57.640
You know that I am not a hulking Adonis necessarily of a man, but I always did well in the lady department.
00:31:05.940
Make sure that you get to keep the hair that you have.
00:31:08.320
It's a very small investment for a very big payoff.
00:31:11.560
If you're ready to take action and prevent hair loss, go to Keeps.com slash Knowles to receive your first month of treatment for free.

00:31:46.740
Dear Michael, with people voting a month or two months ahead, how many of them will die before the election?
00:31:54.100
Will their votes be considered legal votes by dead people?
00:31:57.040
Will these votes be disqualified or will they automatically be switched to Democrat?
00:32:00.580
Well, it is true that Democrats lost a lot among the black vote.
00:32:06.500
They lost a lot among key demographics for them, but they've always held firm on the dead vote.
00:32:11.460
Dead people vote for Democrats 100% of the time.
00:32:14.300
You know, we've raised some questions about how the vote will turn out, you know, among these numbers that come in 100% for Biden, you know, 99% for Biden.
00:32:25.100
Even Saddam Hussein had the common decency to lower his election returns to 97% or something.
00:32:29.840
But the one group that always votes 100% for Democrats are dead people.
00:32:36.260
The fact that we had such early voting, the fact that on Google, one of the top trends after the second debate was,
00:32:44.040
Or at least a surging trend on Google was, how can I change my vote?
00:32:53.020
I mean, there's the fraud issue, but there's also just a basic issue that the election campaigns are geared toward a specific date.
00:33:01.680
And new information comes out until then, and you should not vote.
00:33:06.960
The people should not vote until all of that information has come out.
00:33:11.540
Now, if you live in a system that has early voting, I guess you can take advantage of it.
00:33:18.140
But as a rule, it's very bad, and it does favor Democrats.
00:33:24.960
During this election, I took notice of the counties within each state.
00:33:28.380
I noticed that states that went blue look more red than blue when viewed by county.
00:33:34.280
I understand that large cities, such as D.C. and New York, have a role in why they turn blue.
00:33:39.840
I can imagine it is frustrating for those living outside the cities to have their voices be drowned out by the city folk.
00:33:46.440
My question is, would states ever use an electoral college?
00:33:54.060
New York is split 50-50 between the Democrats and Republicans, sort of.
00:34:00.300
But, you know, it's skewed a little bit, I guess, in the direction of Democrats.
00:34:05.380
But the state itself is split with upstate New York, which geographically takes up, I don't know, 95% of New York, and the city.
00:34:20.660
And yet, you've got, what, 12 million voters there?
00:34:29.060
I suppose that's fair because, you know, you don't give votes to mountains and trees.
00:34:33.600
You give votes to people, and there are just fewer people upstate, even though the space is much, much larger.
00:34:37.560
But there is a big cultural difference here between the city and the country.
00:34:47.660
I don't see any world in which there would be a mechanism to give greater power to the country folk, because the thing is that the places are dominated by the cities.
00:34:55.980
So the city people are never going to give up their power.
00:35:04.540
Does somebody in upstate New York have more in common with Manhattan or with Pennsylvania?
00:35:18.160
You're seeing people in blue states move to red states.
00:35:19.760
We're about to do that at the Daily Wire tomorrow or something like later this week.
00:35:25.240
But you may see that in the various states, within the states as well, which is there is an ex-urbanization.
00:35:32.960
There had been years and years and years of urbanization.
00:35:35.280
Now people are leaving, and they're leaving because there's nothing to do in the cities anymore.
00:35:40.960
You couldn't pay me to live in New York right now.
00:35:43.360
Because the whole point of New York is you live in a tiny little squalor.
00:35:47.200
You pay thousands of dollars a month to live in a shoebox.
00:36:02.060
Well, during the lockdowns, all those fun things closed.
00:36:06.020
In New York, you live in a shoebox because the whole city is your living room.
00:36:13.800
Right now they're suspecting that most restaurants in New York will go out of business.
00:36:22.860
One of the real landmarks going out of business.
00:36:30.760
And it's true even for people who love those cities, you know, and still live there.
00:36:37.000
That might spread out the vote a little bit more.
00:36:40.540
Since you're a devout Catholic, I should pause here.
00:36:42.340
I always prefer the term practicing Catholic because I'm going to keep on practicing until
00:36:50.060
It seems like you're, it seems prideful to use that term.
00:37:00.080
And both of us are very serious about our own religious beliefs.
00:37:02.800
We're getting serious about our relationship and talking about marriage.
00:37:08.940
But most importantly, we don't want to stop the current relationship we separately have
00:37:14.900
Could we make it work since we are both Christian?
00:37:17.240
We are especially worried about what we would teach our kids if we were married.
00:37:21.060
Thank you for having the best show on the Daily Wire.
00:37:31.980
You cannot get married if you are a Catholic if you do not agree to raise the kids Catholic.
00:37:40.620
You could get an interfaith dispensation from the bishop to marry outside of the Catholic faith.
00:37:46.060
But only if you agree to raise the children Catholic.
00:37:49.760
So just as a practical matter, unless your wife wants to give up her Catholic faith,
00:37:54.040
she cannot marry you unless you raise the kids Catholic.
00:37:56.400
Now, if you raise the kids Catholic, that would raise the next question of,
00:38:04.480
Because it would be very difficult for you to be the head of your household,
00:38:09.340
which presumably you will be, to lead your family if your entire family practices a different faith than you do.
00:38:15.840
There's also, regarding the incompatibility of the religions,
00:38:19.140
I mean, I guess every religion is incompatible with every other religion in the sense that they're all different.
00:38:25.060
But in particular, there's a difference with Mormonism because the Catholic Church is Trinitarian,
00:38:31.820
which means that we believe that God is three distinct persons in one divine unity.
00:38:41.400
So they believe that God the Father and the Son, I mean, you know better than I do,
00:38:45.780
but God the Father and God the Son and the Holy Spirit are separate beings.
00:38:51.400
And I know that seems like a subtle distinction, but it has huge theological implications.
00:38:57.280
The Trinity is the central mystery of Christianity.
00:39:00.720
And so if you're Unitarian or an Aryan or Mormon or Muslim, for that matter,
00:39:09.600
Islam would have similar kinds of issues, then those two will not be able to mesh.
00:39:18.860
When my wife and I started dating, we had very different views, not just from one another,
00:39:23.840
but different views even from what we currently have.
00:39:26.320
Now, people grow, either they grow together or they grow apart.
00:39:29.660
So if you're open to it, I would explore the Catholic faith and see if it's right for you.
00:39:38.540
You know, and I suspect your girlfriend has explored Mormonism, maybe not.
00:39:47.100
You know where I stand and which one I think is true.
00:39:49.440
But you might want to consider that, and then you might be surprised.
00:39:56.080
You might find that you're convinced by some of those arguments.
00:39:58.320
If not, I tell you, I have great respect for you both that you take your faith so seriously that you would prioritize it,
00:40:12.580
If you are to take your faith seriously, then it won't work.
00:40:24.880
And more likely what would happen is you will come together into a single or similar faith.
00:40:31.540
But that faith might not be Mormonism or Catholicism.
00:40:34.020
It might just be a kind of liberal secularism where, you know, you don't take religion very seriously.
00:40:41.260
And I don't know that that would be a great choice.
00:40:43.500
You're in a tough position, but excellent that you both have the integrity to look the problem head on so that you don't have more problems down the road.
00:40:50.920
From Mike to the excellent Michael Knowles, I went to a Halloween party this weekend and had a fantastic pun costume.
00:40:58.940
And he is wearing a gift box, and it says, two women from God.
00:41:03.720
It was a huge hit at the party, as we were obviously among those people with common sense and a great sense of humor.
00:41:08.780
Then on Monday, I saw an email at work requesting that we share our Halloween costumes for the office costume contest.
00:41:17.820
Due to the current social climate, we can't allow the gift costume to enter as is.
00:41:28.420
You mean political correctness, which very few people actually like.
00:41:32.280
But unfortunately, political correctness runs corporate boardrooms, HR, the university, and government.
00:41:37.380
And so because of that, you're not allowed to have a very basic costume.
00:41:41.340
What do you think is wrong with the costume of anything?
00:41:43.320
Why must the left destroy all that is fun and clever?
00:41:49.260
Yeah, obviously nothing's wrong with the costume.
00:41:53.780
I mean, the idea that you are God's gift to women.
00:41:58.580
It's a self-effacing joke, but you're not allowed to do that anymore.
00:42:00.780
The reason for this is that political correctness, people get it wrong a lot.
00:42:08.060
Political correctness, some people think, is just a speech code.
00:42:13.740
If it's a speech code, it's politically correct.
00:42:17.200
Every society in all of human history has had speech codes.
00:42:22.720
Some people say political correctness is euphemism.
00:42:25.220
It's using, you know, kind of soft words to paper over difficult truths.
00:42:29.160
Political correctness includes euphemism, but we all use euphemism.
00:42:32.400
When we refer to a woman of a certain age instead of an old hag, we're using euphemism.
00:42:38.300
And there are perfectly legitimate uses for euphemism.
00:42:41.960
Political correctness is a totalizing left-wing standard to overturn the old standards.
00:42:51.660
It is a negative standard, like you'd call it an anti-standard standard.
00:42:57.280
It's a way to say, okay, here are all the traditional opinions and prejudices.
00:43:03.060
And I use that term neutrally, not in the sense of bigoted.
00:43:05.980
And here are all the traditional mores and rituals that we have in society.
00:43:09.420
And political correctness comes in and says, we're going to reverse all of them.
00:43:12.720
So traditionally in society, men and women are considered different and complementary.
00:43:17.560
So political correctness comes in and says, no, no, men and women are exactly the same.
00:43:21.420
And this is an article of faith for the politically correct.
00:43:26.360
And that's the specific issue that you're having with your costumes.
00:43:29.200
What you're saying is, men and women are different.
00:43:38.200
You're not allowed to mention those differences between men and women.
00:43:44.100
We thought that we were living in a relatively right-of-center conservative democracy.
00:43:58.680
Let's try to take one more question before we go.
00:44:00.440
Because I know there are a lot of questions coming in.
00:44:04.360
The media have repeated over and over again how great it would be to have a female president.
00:44:08.460
Do you think it would be a net benefit to have the next president be female?
00:44:12.640
Well, if the next president is Kamala Harris, then certainly not.
00:44:17.240
But then broadly, do you think it would be good for the country?
00:44:21.680
Do you think it would be a positive for the country if we were to elect a woman president next?
00:44:30.560
What specifically about being a woman is so much better than being a man that it would be positive to make any woman president right now?
00:44:43.120
The left believes that there would be something positive because they view the past as oppressive.
00:44:55.800
The present right now might not be all it's cracked up to be.
00:44:58.000
Might be better than other periods, though, in the future.
00:45:00.900
And there is wisdom that we can gain from the past.
00:45:03.720
And we can conserve the good, the objective good, through those traditions.
00:45:14.060
But what the left does, they look at the past and they say, okay, past empowered men.
00:45:20.860
And so anything that is not male and not white has to be good, has to be better than what we've got.
00:45:29.900
Maybe, maybe some woman would be better than some man.
00:45:40.300
But Kamala Harris may be our next vice president, which means, more than likely, she could be our next president.
00:45:49.520
I don't think that this process has been above board.
00:45:52.200
And I don't think the Trump campaign thinks this process has been above board.
00:45:55.380
And I think most Republicans would have rolled over right now and given it all up.
00:46:01.540
And I would strongly encourage the Trump campaign not to give up.
00:46:12.100
What leftists are doing right now, that the greatest democracy in the world can't even conduct its own election because of shenanigans involving mail-in ballots and delayed poll numbers.
00:46:26.940
No matter how the final count turns out, we cannot let them get away with what they're doing right now.
