The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 643 - Fraud, Facts, And Fake News

00:00:00.000 The establishment media have had enough. Okay, it was fine. It was all right on election night

00:00:06.060 for nobody to pick a winner because, you know, they still had to increase Joe Biden's vote count

00:00:11.900 by a lot overnight and then in the ensuing days. But now, look, it's been several days,

00:00:17.180 more than several days, and Donald Trump and his terrible family and his rotten appointees,

00:00:22.800 they've all just got to concede, okay? And why do they have to concede? Because Jake Tapper says so.

00:00:27.960 The response, or lack thereof, from Republican officials when it comes to the untethered and

00:00:33.360 wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn and his supporters about the election,

00:00:41.000 all the crazy and false claims about it being stolen, you should check out the Twitter feed

00:00:46.460 of the president's spawn because it is like rantings in crayon by somebody having an LSD trip. I mean,

00:00:54.580 these are claims that are just so wild that they wouldn't even make, forget Fox, they wouldn't

00:01:02.740 even make Fox business where, you know, where all sorts of facts go to die.

00:01:08.040 That's very serious journalist Jake Tapper. He's a very serious man. That's why he refers to the

00:01:12.280 president's children as spawn. And that's why he wants you to know the claims of fraud, they're wild,

00:01:16.940 they're crazy, they're totally untrue. And that's why you definitely shouldn't look into any of them.

00:01:21.240 Don't look into what went on in Pennsylvania. And definitely don't look into what happened in

00:01:26.020 Wisconsin, because nothing happened in Wisconsin. What are we talking about? Fraud? What fraud? I

00:01:29.760 don't see any fraud. Move along. Move along. Ain't nothing to see here. Actually, there is something

00:01:34.300 to see here. We'll go through all the facts as we have them. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael

00:01:38.720 Knowles Show.

00:01:39.180 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from yesterday comes from Joe Mann, who says,

00:01:52.320 I'm really scared of dying now since I don't want to vote Democrat. I know, you know, generally we

00:01:58.920 should have no fear of death. Certainly Christians should have no fear of death as we anticipate our

00:02:03.640 eternal reward and the beatific vision. But the only downside then would be that you are much,

00:02:10.720 much more likely to vote Democrat after you have shuffled off this mortal coil than, than right now,

00:02:16.800 particularly in some of these Democrat run machine cities and machine states, though Jake Tapper would

00:02:23.240 deny that. I was reminded watching this clip that Jake Tapper is just awful. He's just awful. You know,

00:02:33.160 they try to position Jake Tapper. He is the reasonable one. He's the moderate one. Okay. He'll hold

00:02:37.800 Democrats feet to the fire. He's got that kind of grizzled face, you know, and, and he, he's serious

00:02:43.480 and he'll say it like it is. No, I don't think he will. He refers to the president's children as spawn

00:02:48.660 and now he's threatening any Republican of any kind who refuses to concede this election before the legal

00:02:56.600 process plays out. He's threatening their livelihoods, their careers, because that's what the established

00:03:02.980 media exists to do. They exist to bully you, to hide information and to push their own narrative. He's

00:03:11.860 trying to put people in a very precarious professional situation. You don't want to put yourself in that

00:03:17.240 kind of a situation though. So you got to check out LifeLock. Working from home has some serious

00:03:21.500 challenges. Okay. Hotels are advertising daytime room reservations for guests seeking quiet,

00:03:28.460 distraction-free, family-free work environments. But according to the FBI, accessing sensitive

00:03:34.960 information from hotel wifi poses an increased security risk over home wifi networks. Hackers can

00:03:41.360 exploit lax hotel wifi security to steal work and personal data. It is very important to understand

00:03:47.640 how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives. You know, we, we just don't think about

00:03:52.120 it too much because it's kind of technologically advanced and you think no one wants your data.

00:03:56.560 They do. And LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats. Like for instance,

00:04:01.540 your social security number for sale on the dark web. I used to not worry about any of this stuff.

00:04:08.600 Oh, data. It's okay. It's no big deal. Nobody wants my stuff. And then I've seen what happens when

00:04:14.120 people have their identities stolen. It is so awful. You got to prevent it. Obviously no one can prevent

00:04:18.880 all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can see threats

00:04:22.840 that you might miss on your own. Join now and save up to 25% off your first year. Go to

00:04:33.060 off. You're going to need the savings because Jake Tapper wants to ruin your career. Jake Tapper tweets

00:04:40.980 out, quote, I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing. It's not easy, but at a certain point

00:04:48.640 one has to think not only about what's best for the nation, peaceful transfer of power, but how any

00:04:55.060 future employers might see your character divined during adversity. So listen, buddy, that's a nice job

00:05:03.080 you got there. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it. I truly sympathize. He does. Jake

00:05:09.820 does. He didn't seem to sympathize, or rather, I suppose he sympathized too much with the people

00:05:15.160 who lost in 2016, who never gave up the election. He seemed to sympathize. I think he still sympathizes

00:05:21.380 with them, but he seems to have lost some sympathy for all of us who want the legal process to play

00:05:28.060 out. Bush v. Gore took 38 days to push recounts in one state. That was totally fine, according to Jake

00:05:36.580 Tapper. But now waiting for the legal process to play out for how many days has it been? It's been

00:05:42.220 five days or something like that. That's too much for Tapper. And look, it's not just about the good

00:05:46.260 of the nation. Well, you know, it's about your career too. I'll tell you what, Jake, I truly sympathize

00:05:52.400 with those establishment media hacks trying to rush us past the legal process here and not have anyone

00:05:59.920 look too closely into what happened in Philadelphia, maybe in Wisconsin, maybe in Arizona, maybe in Nevada.

00:06:05.080 I truly sympathize with them. They don't want any nefarious actions from election officials to come

00:06:10.600 out. But I think right now one has to think about how this is going to end in the courts one way or

00:06:18.000 the other. Maybe the courts give it to Biden. Maybe the courts give it to Trump. But this is not going

00:06:23.520 to end because the mainstream, I don't know, how mainstream are they? The establishment media tell us

00:06:29.220 that it will. Not just CNN showing their cards right now, by the way.

00:06:33.780 CNN, remember CNN used to be the central, centrist, center left cable network. MSNBC was the left wing

00:06:40.420 one. Fox News was the right wing one. Then during the Trump era, CNN became the furthest left wing

00:06:45.860 cable news outlet. MSNBC was still avowedly left wing, but they were just more honest and actually

00:06:50.880 less hysterical about it. And Fox News remained right wing, though it had moved significantly more to

00:06:56.840 the center. Well, now Fox News is leading the charge to kick Trump out of office. So there was a Fox

00:07:02.960 News reporter, Sandra Smith. I have, I've been on her show. She's always been very nice to me.

00:07:08.440 Sandra Smith was caught on a hot mic though, muttering under her breath at how outrageous it is 1.00

00:07:14.820 that the Trump campaign is still, still going along and pushing and trying to win this election

00:07:19.420 because Fox News already called the race. Remember just because CNN says, or even Fox News says that

00:07:27.980 somebody's president doesn't make them president. So I think everybody wants to know that this was

00:07:32.260 done properly and legally. What is happening? Trace, we've called it. And I think we have to look into

00:07:38.260 every one of these concerns. Yeah. And I think Lena makes a very good point there, Steve.

00:07:44.740 So Sandra obviously thought that the microphone and the camera had cut away from her and she thought 0.99

00:07:50.200 she was just on a closed mic to Trace Gallagher and said, come on, Trace, what's going on here?

00:07:54.820 Now what's, what's interesting about this? I don't, I don't know Sandra Smith all that well,

00:07:59.920 you know, did the show a bit, but I don't know that her outrage is coming necessarily because she's a 1.00

00:08:06.100 radical leftist or something like that. I think she's expressing a view that a lot of journalists are

00:08:12.800 expressing right now, which is the indignation that they have called the race and the Trump campaign

00:08:19.680 is not willing to allow the media to call the race. Because of course, in our constitutional system,

00:08:25.680 the media do not decide who wins presidential elections. The states certify winners and then

00:08:31.320 the electoral college votes. And it doesn't matter if CNN or MSNBC or even Fox News calls the race,

00:08:37.860 they're not the ones who get to decide. And so I think Sandra's indignation that she's expressing

00:08:43.240 here is a representative of a lot of journalists who say, what? We called it. We did it. How dare you

00:08:51.040 not accept that we in the media have called this election? And Sandra is certainly not the only person

00:08:58.580 at Fox who has been hammering the Trump campaign, not even close. Chris Wallace, who you may recall

00:09:05.120 moderated the worst presidential debate in American history. And it was, it was a disaster. I mean,

00:09:13.440 he, he was, I think the worst moderator ever. And, and I don't know what it is about Trump because I've

00:09:19.800 enjoyed watching his interview shows before Chris Wallace. He's, he's always been much fairer than people

00:09:25.540 on CNN or MSNBC, but I don't know. There was just something about Trump where he was interrupting all of

00:09:31.220 the time. It was a, it was a disastrous debate. They got bad reviews from everybody. Chris Wallace

00:09:35.980 is now saying that, that President Trump and the people in the Republican party defending him

00:09:41.440 are ridiculous. They're soldiering on like people who don't realize that the war is over.

00:09:48.220 Dana, it would seem to me that Republicans on Capitol Hill have a role to play in this. A very

00:09:54.560 few of them have said, look, you pursue your legal options, but, uh, you know, damp down the rhetoric

00:10:01.140 like Mitt Romney, like Pat Toomey. Uh, there are a lot who are just silent. And then there are some,

00:10:07.840 I mentioned Ted Cruz, uh, you know, who, who are like the Japanese soldiers who come out, uh, 30 years 0.98

00:10:15.220 after the end of the, uh, of the war and, uh, out of the jungle and say, you know, is the fight still

00:10:20.840 going on. What do you expect the mood to be inside, uh, Senate Republicans, you know, as they begin to

00:10:28.320 think perhaps their future is no longer so directly tied to Donald Trump. Well, also remember the Senate

00:10:33.960 Republicans were counted out. I love Dana Perino just gives a straight answer, even as she's being 0.82

00:10:40.600 baited by Chris Wallace over there. We're one week from the election. There were no results on election

00:10:48.120 night, no results today. Reckler politics still hasn't called the race. Reckler politics, which is

00:10:53.380 a very reliable source, you know, it kind of takes in information from all of the news sources.

00:10:59.720 They still haven't called it. The media don't call it generally. No state has certified a winner.

00:11:04.560 So no, I don't think it's like the Japanese soldier who 30 years after the war comes out of the woods

00:11:09.940 and thinks the war is still on. Notice what Chris Wallace says. He goes, why can't Republicans be like

00:11:15.560 Mitt Romney, who conceded the race on Trump's behalf immediately? Why do they all have to be

00:11:20.800 like Ted Cruz? What's the difference between Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz? That sounds like the start to

00:11:25.920 a joke. It sounds like a setup. Maybe you can come up with the punchline. The, the straight answer is

00:11:31.260 Mitt Romney is a liberal Republican and Ted Cruz is a conservative Republican. And that's what it's

00:11:35.720 about. And when the media use these terms, like the spawn of Donald Trump and the soldiers in the,

00:11:43.320 in the jungles after world war two, these foolish idiots, 30 years after the war, what they're really 0.96

00:11:48.560 saying is it's okay to be a liberal Republican and it's evil and terrible to be a conservative Republican.

00:11:54.980 And that is the view now being pushed by every single establishment media outlet, every single one

00:12:03.600 without exception. I think you catch my drift. It's not even the mockery. It's not even just the snide

00:12:11.440 commons. At this point, all of the establishment networks are actually cutting off, cutting away

00:12:18.500 from undermining the elected and appointed officials of this administration. That is a very scary story.

00:12:26.320 Not as scary though, is the story from Wondery that you should check out. Imagine you're a parent

00:12:30.600 nervously pacing around your injured child's hospital room. A doctor begins asking you question

00:12:37.000 after question about how your kid got hurt. Then as he's asking these questions, you begin to realize

00:12:42.280 they're asking about your involvement in the accident. Where were you when he fell? How did

00:12:46.960 he actually fall? And then you slowly start to see that they think that you hurt your child

00:12:52.580 intentionally. Wondery and NBC news present Do No Harm, the terrifying true story of a family torn apart

00:12:59.160 by the system that was supposed to protect them. Investigative reporter Mike Hixenbaugh chronicles

00:13:05.300 what happens to the Bright family after their three kids are ripped away from them and the shocking

00:13:10.500 moments that came next. With exclusive audio captured as the events unfolded, Do No Harm takes you inside

00:13:15.980 the most harrowing moments of the Bright family's fight to protect their children. Subscribe to Do No Harm on

00:13:22.020 Apple Podcasts. Join Wondery Plus and the Wondery app to listen one week early and ad-free. Very scary

00:13:28.460 story. And the scary political story now is that the establishment media have no respect whatsoever

00:13:34.980 for our elected and appointed officials. Because I think generally speaking, the media believe they

00:13:41.740 know better. And so they'll allow this democracy thing, this republic thing to play out every so often.

00:13:47.540 But once they've decided enough is enough, well, enough is enough. So Neil Cavuto, also on Fox News,

00:13:54.960 committed an absolutely unforgivable act the other day. Kayleigh McEnany, the press secretary who makes 0.67

00:14:04.100 all of our hearts go pitter-patter, she was giving a press conference describing in detail what was going

00:14:11.840 on, the many irregularities at these polling places. And I almost can't even say it.

00:14:19.360 Neil Cavuto cut away from Kayleigh. 10,000 swords should leap from their scabbards to avenge even an

00:14:25.580 insulting glance from a established media journalist, much less cutting her off mid-sentence. I was furious.

00:14:32.260 Take a listen.

00:14:33.680 There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the count room. And that party,

00:14:41.500 my friends, is the Democrat party. You don't take these positions because you want an honest election.

00:14:47.720 You don't oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You don't oppose our efforts

00:14:53.680 at sunlight and transparency because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are

00:14:59.200 welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting. Our position is clear. We want to protect

00:15:05.500 the franchise of the American people. We want an honest, accurate, lawful count. We want maximum

00:15:13.240 sunlight. We want maximum transparency. We want every legal vote to be counted and we want every

00:15:21.040 illegal vote to be...

00:15:22.440 Well, I just think we have to be very clear. She's charging, the other side is welcoming fraud

00:15:26.920 and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up. I can't in good

00:15:31.820 countenance continue showing you this. I want to make sure that maybe they do have something to

00:15:35.600 back that up. But that's an explosive charge to make that the other side is effectively rigging and

00:15:41.160 cheating.

00:15:41.960 It's an explosive charge. It's outrageous. Unless she's got evidence to back that up. And I don't

00:15:47.780 know what the evidence is because I'm just a journalist. So I obviously haven't looked into this at all.

00:15:52.760 Well, you know, actually, if any of the journalists would open their eyes and if they could stop

00:16:00.940 lavishing praise on Joe Biden for one second and stop congratulating the president-elect Joe Biden

00:16:06.960 for just one second, you'd see a lot of evidence, a lot of evidence of fraud and irregularities. Now,

00:16:12.480 that doesn't mean that the evidence of fraud and irregularities is enough to change the result of

00:16:18.600 the election. We don't know. That's what the legal process is for. But to say that there is no

00:16:24.460 evidence whatsoever, that is crazy. That is simply ignorant. Ronna McDaniel, who is the head of the RNC

00:16:31.700 and a Michigan native, she outlined just a little bit of the evidence that they found in Michigan.

00:16:38.120 Poll watchers or poll election workers blocked windows and padlocked doors. Obviously, that's not

00:16:43.940 going to instill confidence. There are thousands of reports of poll watchers being intimidated and

00:16:48.660 unable to do their job. And as of 4 p.m. this afternoon, 131 affidavits have been completed just

00:16:55.220 in Michigan with over 2,800 incident reports that have been submitted to us since election day.

00:17:01.400 Two new lawsuits were filed today by people who were working in Detroit and a whistleblower who has

00:17:07.940 gotten their information to the Eastern District Court of Michigan. As you guys can understand,

00:17:13.720 with 2,800 incident reports, this is a lot to track down. It means we're interviewing these

00:17:19.440 people, we're getting their statements, and we're turning them into affidavits. In addition to that,

00:17:23.660 we've heard hundreds of instances of election workers who were verbally accosted. They verbally

00:17:29.360 accosted our poll watchers and refusals to let them challenge questionable ballots. Election workers

00:17:34.680 were wearing Biden t-shirts and applauding when our poll watchers were kicked out.

00:17:39.580 2,800 incident reports, 100, what is it she said, 130 some odd affidavits, already sworn affidavits.

00:17:48.580 We already knew, I guess, uh, Neil and some of the other establishment journalists didn't know

00:17:54.020 that Republican poll watchers were not permitted to watch the polls. And then at least in Philadelphia,

00:18:02.360 there was a court order saying you have to let them watch, you know what, you know what happened?

00:18:05.520 They still were not permitted to watch the polls. What's that about? That to me seems like quite a

00:18:11.120 lot of evidence of wrongdoing, irregularities, use whatever euphemism you want. What were they hiding?

00:18:18.280 And then in Michigan, thousands of incident reports. Well, how many votes does that affect? Maybe it affects

00:18:26.560 no votes. Maybe it's all a big misunderstanding. But if it is a big misunderstanding, we're going to

00:18:31.440 need to let that play out in court before all of you in the establishment press and establishment

00:18:37.360 technology and establishment higher education and establish and, and the liberal establishment itself

00:18:42.620 before you all start popping bottles of vuv to celebrate, celebrate Joe Biden's apparent victory.

00:18:50.500 What evidence do we have? That's an explosive charge. Okay. You just heard from Rana talking

00:18:55.460 Michigan wide. How about in Detroit? There's a Detroit elections worker named Jesse Jacob.

00:19:01.520 Who testified that a supervisor ordered him to backdate absentee ballots, you know, throughout

00:19:06.900 these states. And we all called this the minute we heard about widespread unsolicited mail-in votes.

00:19:12.080 So there's going to be this problem of fraud, not even that necessarily it's hundreds of thousands

00:19:17.380 of dead people voting or that it's hundreds of thousands of people voting who aren't supposed to

00:19:21.620 be voting. But even in the case of people who do have the right to vote, if they don't vote by the

00:19:27.080 deadline, that is an illegal vote. That vote cannot be counted. If it is counted, then the worker who

00:19:33.180 counted the ballot has committed a crime. If it's systemic, then you've got major corruption in the

00:19:38.240 election system. And we know for a fact that there has been longstanding corruption in major democratic

00:19:44.560 cities like Philadelphia, like Detroit, like all of the places that are being contested right now.

00:19:49.240 So Jesse Jacob says a supervisor told him to backdate absentee ballots. He says, quote,

00:19:54.120 I processed absentee ballot packages to be sent to voters while I worked at the election headquarters

00:19:59.120 in September, 2020, along with 70 to 80 other poll workers. I was instructed by my supervisor to adjust

00:20:05.580 the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than they were actually sent.

00:20:11.680 The supervisor was making announcements for all workers to engage in this practice. Then further,

00:20:17.920 I directly observed on a daily basis, city of Detroit, election workers and employees coaching

00:20:24.680 and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat party. I witnessed these workers

00:20:31.500 and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot. That obviously extraordinarily

00:20:38.100 illegal. I witnessed these election workers and employees going over to the voting booths

00:20:44.380 with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them for whom to vote.

00:20:51.540 That's one guy, but we have sworn affidavit here. Testimony of what was going on in Detroit.

00:20:56.760 Was it just that instance? Was it just those 80 poll workers? Okay. So 80 poll workers,

00:21:02.960 how many ballots did they influence? How many ballots did they backdate? How many? I don't know. Let's

00:21:07.800 say, could it be a hundred, probably more than a hundred, maybe a thousand. I don't know. Could it be

00:21:13.800 2000, 3000? How many? Is it enough to swing an election? Was it just these poll workers or were

00:21:20.540 there many more? There are 137 sworn affidavits just in Michigan alone. What about outside of

00:21:25.580 Michigan? Pennsylvania. Lindsey Graham just received sworn affidavit from a postal worker

00:21:30.100 in Erie, Pennsylvania. This is what that postal worker says. Quote, although as I understand

00:21:35.660 Pennsylvania law, ballots must be postmarked by 8 PM on election day, November 3rd, 2020 in

00:21:40.520 Pennsylvania. Postmaster Rob Weisenbach directed my coworkers and I to pick up ballots after election

00:21:48.980 day and provide them to him. Now consider this for a second. The ballots have to be postmarked by

00:21:58.300 November 3rd, election day. The postmaster says, I want you to go out there, pick up all those extra

00:22:05.460 ballots that are now illegal ballots. Just bring them to me. Why would he do that? Do we think,

00:22:12.800 first of all, that those, that those ballots are being collected to help Trump or to help Biden?

00:22:18.120 Philly's pretty, pretty, pretty blue city. I don't know about Erie generally. Something tells me though,

00:22:24.920 this was brought in to help the vote count for Biden. Just a, just a hunch. Again, I'm just going

00:22:30.120 on my gut here. So this postmaster gets the ballots. Why does he request them? Why is he willing to put

00:22:36.880 himself out there to commit a crime after the election day? Is it because he just loves Joe Biden

00:22:42.300 that much? Maybe, because it could be. Or is it because there's some machine at play that he's being

00:22:47.440 offered something here to do this? I don't know. I just don't know. Only way to find out, take it to

00:22:52.980 court. This a whistleblower goes on in his sworn affidavit. I heard Weisenbach tell a supervisor

00:22:58.120 at my office that Weisenbach was backdating the postmarks on the ballots to make it appear as

00:23:02.660 though the ballots had been collected on November 3rd, 2020, despite them in fact being collected

00:23:06.720 on November 4th and possibly later. Why are the counts still going on? Why, why, why haven't they

00:23:11.680 certified Alaska at this point? Why haven't they called Alaska? I don't know. Isn't that weird?

00:23:15.400 I think Alaska is pretty much for Trump. Why not call it? Why did everything take so long? Why did

00:23:20.260 they stop counting on election night? Why in some cases did they say they stopped counting on election

00:23:24.640 night, but they kept counting in the middle of the night? Why did all the Biden ballots come in in the

00:23:28.060 middle of the night? Why did they take a day off in some places and then start counting later? Why

00:23:32.780 were they buying so much time? Was it because ballots were coming in after the election and they

00:23:37.960 wanted to see how many they needed? I don't know. I'm just asking questions. We do know that there are

00:23:45.400 in many places more registered voters than eligible voters. That's just a fact. Can't fact check me on

00:23:51.620 that one. If you do, you'll find out it's true. A report was just issued. This is from Judicial Watch

00:23:56.820 indicating that among 353 U.S. counties, 1.8 million more voters may have been registered than

00:24:05.520 eligible voting age citizens. 1.8 million. Some people are saying there's no way Trump can overcome

00:24:12.280 the difference now between his votes and Biden's because Biden has something like 2 million more

00:24:18.020 votes, something like that. Well, first of all, he doesn't have to. He needs to overcome little

00:24:21.620 margins of 8,000 to 20,000, maybe 50,000 in certain places. A lot different than 2 million.

00:24:28.280 But also, it turns out, we've got almost 2 million extra voters on the rolls who are not eligible.

00:24:34.400 They're just registered. Now, in normal years, even with some use of mail-in ballots, that wouldn't pose

00:24:40.220 a problem or it would pose a minor problem because you still have to request the absentee ballot in

00:24:45.940 normal years. Not this year. This year, the ballots just got sent out, sent out to everybody.

00:24:53.120 Maybe you changed your address, but you didn't change it with the election board.

00:24:56.560 Well, then someone's going to get your ballot. Maybe you died. Maybe you are not eligible anymore.

00:25:04.840 Doesn't matter. The ballots went out, 1.8 million of them in 353 U.S. counties. That's just according to

00:25:11.300 this one report from Judicial Watch. We don't know how widespread, in practice, the problem actually

00:25:16.140 was. Now, that statewide registration exceeding 100% includes Alaska. I still haven't called it,

00:25:24.780 I guess. Colorado. Okay. Maine. Okay. Maryland. Michigan. Michigan, very important state. Jersey.

00:25:32.800 Jersey's going to go Democrat anyway. Rhode Island, Vermont. Same thing. Michigan, though. Let's just

00:25:37.900 take Michigan. Very important state. Doesn't matter, though, right? Because Neil Cavuto doesn't

00:25:43.820 know about any of that. He hasn't, he hasn't Googled it. I don't know. He hasn't read the

00:25:49.320 report from Judicial Watch. He probably hasn't been listening to Kayleigh McEnany or Ron McDaniel

00:25:54.240 because he can't bear it. He wants to turn off the press conferences. Jake Tapper says wild claims

00:25:59.460 being made by the spawn of Donald Trump. You're going to lose your, you're going to lose your job if

00:26:05.340 you don't concede this election, says Jake Tapper. Well, much, much more serious people than the

00:26:11.720 journalists and the establishment press are looking into this. Not just Judicial Watch, not just Ronna

00:26:16.380 and Kayleigh, also the Attorney General. We are very pleased to report that the Honey Badger, Attorney

00:26:22.240 General Bill Barr himself, has come out and directed U.S. attorneys to pursue significant allegations of

00:26:29.020 voting irregularities. This is great news. One, because it's acknowledging there were voting

00:26:34.500 irregularities. We don't know quite how widespread they were, but they were significant. Much, much,

00:26:40.800 much more significant than anything we have seen, at least in my lifetime. Probably since going back

00:26:45.480 to Tammany Hall or going back to LBJ stealing that Senate seat in Texas back in 1948. So that's great.

00:26:54.280 On the, on the one front, you got the DOJ acknowledging that really happened. But then on the other,

00:26:58.380 you see, Bill Barr is being careful here. He doesn't want to appear irregular himself. So he

00:27:04.600 says, serious allegations should be handled with great care. Specieous, speculative, fanciful,

00:27:12.000 or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries. He's saying, look,

00:27:18.600 if it's some wild accusation, there's no evidence for it, or it's a very minor allegation that really

00:27:25.040 wouldn't have swung anything. We're not going to spend federal resources on that. But for significant

00:27:30.440 claims of fraud with evidence, we're going to investigate very thoroughly. This is pretty

00:27:35.400 important. I've noticed, especially watching Jake Tapper, but watching people on the left like him,

00:27:40.980 or watching even some people on the right, people are very impassioned right now. And, and I understand

00:27:47.800 why. I mean, especially on the right, because the people on the right think that the election was

00:27:51.300 stolen. You'll notice, I have not been quite as impassioned, quite as screaming from the rooftops,

00:27:57.280 making big claims. And I am making the same claims now that I made a month before the election,

00:28:02.260 which is namely, the mail-in ballots have posed this singular problem. The crooked cities,

00:28:11.020 such as Philadelphia and Detroit, have posed a singular problem. We're not, we didn't know on

00:28:16.340 election night who the winner was. We still don't know who the winner of the election is. It's going to go

00:28:20.400 to court. The legal process is going to play out. This has happened before in American history.

00:28:25.360 It will happen again in American history. And the courts will decide who wins. And people still might

00:28:30.720 not be happy with that. And they might say the courts didn't do enough, or they might say the

00:28:33.420 courts did too much. But that is the way the process will be playing out one way or another.

00:28:38.900 And so we want to be cool headed here. We want to be patient as the left is screaming,

00:28:44.280 call him the president elect, call Biden the president. We have to tune those guys out.

00:28:48.960 We have to be careful too, on the right, because the right might say, look at this explosive evidence

00:28:54.800 of some fraud. And you say, okay, well, I'm going to look at it, but I'm not going to just accept it,

00:28:58.220 you know, and get my hopes up necessarily, because if that falls apart, or even if it was true,

00:29:03.720 but there's no way to prove it, that's not going to affect the outcome in the end. We are in a very

00:29:08.200 precarious situation right now. The only thing we can do is wait. We can stand by the president.

00:29:14.260 First of all, we cannot refer to Joe Biden as the president elect. I think it's preposterous

00:29:18.720 and silly liberal Republicans like Mitt Romney. Court jesters in the kingdom of liberalism

00:29:23.260 ought to be ashamed of themselves for doing that. We shouldn't do that.

00:29:26.660 Neither should we pop champagne ourselves and say Trump's getting reelected necessarily.

00:29:31.420 We're in a precarious holding pattern, and we're going to know a lot more next week once that legal

00:29:37.520 process is playing out. In the meantime, though, cocaine Mitch is admonishing his Democrats in the

00:29:45.840 Senate, his colleagues on the other side of the aisle, and telling them that he doesn't want to

00:29:50.320 hear any lectures about conceding elections immediately. And this is very important, because

00:29:55.440 for a while, you saw Senate Republicans were being a little timid here. Were they going to pull a Romney?

00:30:01.240 Were they going to pull a jib and concede the election on Trump's behalf? Or were they going to

00:30:05.360 stand by Trump? Which side? Are you going to be a weak, squishy Republican who is basically just

00:30:11.440 going to play the court jester and, you know, give limp opposition to the liberal democratic

00:30:17.000 ruling regime? But then when push comes to shove, you're going to lay back? Or are you going to

00:30:22.480 actually fight? Mitch McConnell is going to actually fight. We'll get to him fighting in one second.

00:30:26.100 First, though, please, I would recommend that you like and subscribe to the Michael Knowles Show

00:30:30.300 YouTube channel. That is where we put our show out every morning. You know, they're trying to

00:30:35.280 shut us down on various social media platforms, particularly right now, since the entire

00:30:40.820 establishment press is already handing this election to Joe Biden. And some of us out there

00:30:45.520 are just not ready to do that because the facts on the ground don't support that yet. So big tech

00:30:51.260 is very upset about that. Make sure you like and subscribe. You may have already liked and

00:30:54.340 subscribed to the YouTube channel, and they may have just unsubscribed you. So, you know, give it a

00:30:58.300 little look-see. Head on over there and make sure you go to dailywire.com, especially right now when you

00:31:02.880 can't trust the establishment press. Go to dailywire.com, the replacement media. We are coming

00:31:08.880 in, we are going to replace them, and we are not going to call elections before the elections are

00:31:13.920 over, unlike, apparently, every single establishment outlet. Go to dailywire.com right now. We'll be right

00:31:19.520 back with a lot more. Cocaine Mitch has had enough. He took to the Senate floor yesterday,

00:31:37.520 and he reminded these Democrats with the attention span of a fruit fly of how they reacted to the 2016

00:31:45.460 election when there was basically no evidence whatsoever of fraud or irregularities, when there

00:31:50.500 was not yet widespread mail-in unsolicited votes that completely compromised the system, when there

00:31:56.100 was not any of that stuff. And they, many of them, refused to concede that election. So Cocaine Mitch

00:32:01.140 just doesn't want to hear it. Let's not have any lectures, no lectures about how the president should

00:32:06.500 immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four

00:32:13.220 years refusing to accept the validity of the last election, and who insinuated that this one would

00:32:21.940 be illegitimate, too, if they lost again, only if they lost. So let's have no lectures on this subject

00:32:32.180 from that contention. In late August, Secretary Hillary Clinton said, quote, Joe Biden should not concede

00:32:39.140 under any circumstances. I think this is going to drag out, and he will win it if we don't give an inch.

00:32:48.580 That same month, Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leader both stated, quote, President Trump needs to

00:32:54.980 cheat to win. In October, when Speaker Pelosi was shopping some conspiracy theory about the Postal Service,

00:33:04.820 she recklessly said, quote, listen to this, I have no doubt that the president will lie, cheat,

00:33:11.220 and steal to win the election. Pretty reckless rhetoric, isn't it, from those Democrats? But now,

00:33:17.380 all of a sudden, they say, listen, we need healing. We need unity. We need healing. It's, let's come

00:33:22.260 together. Yeah, no, I know I was just, I was just threatening you. And I know I spent four years not accepting

00:33:26.980 the results of the last election. And I know I told Joe Biden not to concede under any circumstances,

00:33:31.380 including a Trump landslide. But hey, you shouldn't, you shouldn't suspect me of corruption.

00:33:37.860 Hey, you should, come on. Come on, you mean old Republicans. Oh, that, that was then. This is now.

00:33:43.540 Stop, stop pursuing this election. Stop pursuing the legal, the legal fights.

00:33:50.820 Implicit in what the Democrats have been telling us is a threat. They said, we're going to blow up the

00:33:55.840 whole system, right? They said, we're not going to concede the election, even if we lose.

00:33:59.680 They told us that. Hillary told us that. Jake Tapper right now is saying, if you don't concede

00:34:04.880 the election, we're going to ruin your careers. The Trump Accountability Project is trying to punish

00:34:09.920 anybody who supported Trump or worked for Trump or gave money to Trump. Namely, anybody in any way who

00:34:16.320 has ever helped Donald Trump. They want to publish a list of those people. AOC said, we need to publish a

00:34:21.920 list of these people. Go out and punish them for what they've done. And now we're being lectured on

00:34:28.720 propriety. Well, Cocaine Mitch says, I don't think so. And by the way, they've been physically

00:34:33.760 threatening us for six months now or more, seven months. Do you remember the riots? Mr. Cocaine does.

00:34:39.360 At this time last week, small business owners in cities across America were boarding up their

00:34:45.360 windows in case President Trump appeared to win and far left mobs decided to reprise their summer

00:34:51.680 rioting. Suffice it to say, a few legal inquiries from the president do not exactly spell the end

00:35:01.000 of the republic.

00:35:02.240 L.A. is still boarded up. I walk up and down the streets in Los Angeles. There are still boards on

00:35:07.600 the buildings. Now, none of the stores have been looted or, or, or mobbed or broken down or set up

00:35:12.560 on fire. Why not? Because the left thinks that Joe Biden won. That's why. And conservatives, you'll be

00:35:18.880 shocked to hear, don't riot. They don't loot. They don't go steal Gucci bags to mark presidential

00:35:24.160 elections that they lose. That was the threat. We have the evidence of these physical threats,

00:35:31.840 these essential threats against the integrity of our elections all around us in our major cities.

00:35:37.220 And now the left is going to lecture us about propriety and civility. I don't think so, buddy.

00:35:42.340 I don't think so. Doesn't move me at all. But Joe Biden is acting as though he has in fact

00:35:48.000 already won. You have one of the Obama era flunkies, Ben Rhodes, who is, he was a big force

00:35:54.560 behind the Iran deal and other very disastrous foreign policies under Barack Obama. He is now

00:36:00.800 describing how Biden, the transition has begun. And Joe Biden is talking to leaders around the world.

00:36:05.640 The Trump people seem to be talking like they have some agency here. We're going to have the

00:36:09.820 pageantry already of the president elect announcing his advisory board. He's going to start announcing

00:36:14.580 cabinet secretaries. The center of political gravity in this country, in the world is shifting

00:36:19.140 to Joe Biden. Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden talking about the agenda

00:36:24.080 they're going to pursue January 20th. If that reality hasn't sunk in yet for some people in the White

00:36:28.180 House, it will sink in when they have to leave on January 20th. We'll see if they have to leave.

00:36:34.000 Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. We don't know yet, Mr. Rhodes. The one thing I do know,

00:36:38.920 though, the one thing I do know, and I think he accidentally let that slip, is that Joe Biden is

00:36:46.600 doing the very things that the Trump transition did that got them thrown in jail, that got them

00:36:53.340 hauled before a court of law. Ben Rhodes just said that Joe Biden is speaking to leaders around the

00:36:58.320 world. Joe Biden is not the president. He's not even the president elect, although he certainly thinks

00:37:06.040 that he is. You remember Michael Flynn? Michael Flynn was going to be Donald Trump's national

00:37:11.720 security advisor. Michael Flynn had his life ruined by the deep state because Michael Flynn,

00:37:17.180 as the incoming NSA, had the audacity to speak to foreign leaders, to do the exact same thing

00:37:22.880 that Biden and apparently the Biden transition team is doing. Do we think Joe Biden is going to get

00:37:30.720 thrown in prison for that? He can't do it. He's violating the Logan Act. People always bring up

00:37:37.000 the Logan Act, which is this almost certainly unconstitutional, very old law that says the

00:37:42.140 private U.S. citizens can't negotiate with foreign leaders. And it's mostly been ignored. One,

00:37:49.160 it's a violation of free speech is how it's typically been viewed. But also it would mean that

00:37:54.860 transition teams can't do anything. And so no one ever actually fights this. I mean, if that were the 1.00

00:38:00.500 case, John Kerry would be rotting in a prison cell right now. He'd be in Alcatraz because John Kerry

00:38:04.720 has continued to negotiate, sometimes out in the open, with foreign leaders, especially in Iran,

00:38:10.160 after Trump came in and ripped up that stupid Iran deal. So Joe Biden is doing that already. I wonder

00:38:17.660 if we should pose some legal challenges to that. If I were Mike Flynn, I'd be very upset right now. I

00:38:22.960 might think that this is not a fair fight, that the system is set up against Republicans, that the system

00:38:28.380 is set up to defend Democrats, that the whole system, the bureaucracy, the administrative state,

00:38:33.800 maybe the people counting the ballots. I don't know. We've got a lot of sworn affidavits about it.

00:38:39.760 Meanwhile, bad news from some of the Biden advisors. Some of them are really, really bad.

00:38:45.180 In fact, one of the top advisors that Joe Biden is tapping to lead him on coronavirus,

00:38:51.180 if Joe Biden should become president, is a guy named Zeke Emanuel. Zeke Emanuel is the brother of

00:38:56.400 Ari Emanuel, the Hollywood super agent, and he's the brother of Rahm Emanuel, former chief of staff

00:39:01.980 at the White House, former mayor of Chicago, pretty disastrous. Zeke Emanuel was one of the guys who

00:39:08.660 brought us Obamacare. Zeke Emanuel is a guy who said we're going to be locked down for years, which I

00:39:13.040 guess turns out he was right. One thing people don't really know about him is Zeke Emanuel has a

00:39:19.280 fixation with death. There are some people right now who are in the field of scientific research that

00:39:25.160 pursues life extension, how much longer people can live. You know, I guess all of medical science in

00:39:31.720 a way is pursuing life extension so that we don't die of diseases at 30, you know, that could be

00:39:36.020 cured and you could go on to live to 80 or 85 years old. Zeke Emanuel a few years ago, it was about six

00:39:40.980 years ago, published a piece in the Atlantic called Why I Hope to Die at 75. Subheader, an argument that

00:39:49.300 society and families and you will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly.

00:39:55.080 He says, 75, that's how long I want to live. 75 years. This drives my daughters crazy. They think

00:40:03.140 I can't mean what I say that I haven't clearly thought about this because there is so much in

00:40:07.800 the world to see and do. To convince me of my errors, they enumerate the myriad people I know who

00:40:11.460 are over 75 and doing quite well. I'm sure of my position. Doubtless death is a loss. It deprives us of

00:40:18.020 all the things we value. But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist. Living too

00:40:22.340 long is also a loss. And he talks about how, you know, living too long is kind of humiliating.

00:40:26.960 We know you got to use a cane. You can't do things as well. Your memory slips a little bit. So he wants

00:40:32.960 to die. Democrats seem to want to die. There is a culture of death that pervades the left. They want

00:40:40.660 to kill babies before they're born. They want to kill old people as they become infirm. They support 1.00

00:40:45.000 euthanasia, which is assisted suicide for older people, a morally hideous concept. And they want 1.00

00:40:54.500 to off themselves at a certain point or not pursue reasonable life-saving treatment. I've heard from

00:41:02.960 some people, they say, yes, we should die earlier because it's better for the environment. Say we

00:41:07.840 should die earlier because it's better for the economy. Die earlier because it's less of a burden

00:41:11.700 on our families. All hideous, hideous stuff. A reminder here that first of all, science rests on

00:41:18.440 philosophical and theological premises. That's what the basis of it is. We only have science because

00:41:25.320 of those premises. And science, as we think of it today, this very narrow field of material inquiry

00:41:31.480 cannot provide us necessarily with those premises. It assumes them. And the people who are coming in,

00:41:39.680 the experts, the advisors here, have some pretty perverse premises. Do you really want a guy

00:41:44.900 who is hoping that people will die at 75 to come in as a top advisor to treat a virus where the median

00:41:55.820 victim is 80 years old? Five years after he thinks people should die? That doesn't sound so great to me.

00:42:05.640 Sounds like some of their, their vision of the world is a little messed up. And I think that's

00:42:10.220 true probably across the prospective Biden administration, even as he's counting his votes

00:42:16.560 before they've come in. And maybe some other people were counting votes before they came in too,

00:42:20.500 or before they were dubbed to be legitimate. I'm very pleased to be able to say that Joe Biden is not

00:42:27.920 yet the president elect because the thought of having guys like Zeke Emanuel in charge of diseases,

00:42:32.700 not a good thing. The idea of having guys like Ben Rhodes in charge of foreign policy,

00:42:37.280 not a good thing. Fortunately though, this has not been decided yet. And some crazy news out of

00:42:42.300 politics. AOC says she might leave politics. The future of the Democratic Party, according to the

00:42:48.540 DNC chairman, Tom Perez, might leave politics. She just gave an interview to the New York Times. She 0.91

00:42:54.000 said, I genuinely don't know. I don't even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real,

00:42:58.180 in the first six months of my term, I didn't even know if I was going to run for re-election this

00:43:02.720 year. It's the incoming, it's the stress, it's the violence, it's the lack of support from your

00:43:06.540 own party. It's your own party thinking you're the enemy. But I'm serious when I tell people the odds

00:43:11.240 of me running for higher office and the odds of me just going off trying to start a homestead

00:43:15.520 somewhere, they're probably the same, says AOC. Now, at the same time, AOC is angling herself to try

00:43:21.760 to enter the cabinet if Joe Biden is named the president. So people in politics do this all the

00:43:29.100 time. They say, sir, senator, senator, are you considering running for president? Well, now I

00:43:33.900 just love the job I'm doing. I don't know if I want to run for president. You know, sir, sir,

00:43:37.840 are you thinking of running for Congress? Now, listen, I love being a small business owner.

00:43:41.180 But if my country called me to serve, maybe I would, right? So there's this long tradition in

00:43:45.000 politics of pretending that you're not interested in politics, even though obviously you are,

00:43:48.640 that's why you are in the political arena. So I don't, I don't really take AOC's comments at face

00:43:53.560 value, but I do believe that she's had enough of Congress. I don't think AOC particularly enjoys

00:43:59.700 being in Congress that much. I think she is being stymied in things that she wants to do. I think

00:44:03.800 Congress is a total grind. I think you got to spend most of your money, most of your time rather

00:44:08.000 raising money. I think you got to travel back and forth to that district a lot. I think as LBJ said,

00:44:13.380 the difference between the Senate and Congress is the difference between chicken salad

00:44:18.280 and chicken excrement. And I think that's all probably true. And AOC knows it. And frankly,

00:44:23.280 I don't even know that she wants to be in the Senate because the Senate can't get very much 1.00

00:44:25.800 done either. But something tells me she wouldn't mind being in that cabinet if Joe Biden is elected

00:44:31.300 president. Something tells me she's angling for that. And that's very dangerous because right now,

00:44:38.340 AOC still has, I guess, some sort of democratic accountability to the people. But with the growth of

00:44:43.240 the liberal progressive administrative state, more and more, you have these czars implemented.

00:44:48.300 You have people who come in and run departments who have basically no accountability to the people

00:44:52.800 at all and who are able to effectively write the laws that govern us without any kind of vote,

00:44:58.280 without even the public knowing very much about it. That's what you're going to see if Joe Biden

00:45:03.580 is elected president. There will be a massive growth in the administrative apparatus. And who could be in

00:45:09.100 charge of it, my goodness gracious, you could even get people like AOC in there. The stakes are very high.

00:45:14.760 That's why it's very important not to concede a single thing until the legal process plays out,

00:45:20.320 until the legal ballots are counted, until the legal illegal ballots are thrown out, or until the court

00:45:27.740 stops the whole process because time has run out. There is no reason, though, to make a hasty concession

00:45:33.380 right now. There is a lot on the line. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
