The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 653 - Schrödinger's POTUS (And Joe Biden’s Cat)

00:00:00.000 There's a lot to get to today. A major Supreme Court ruling on religious liberty,

00:00:06.000 some shocking new evidence presented at a Pennsylvania hearing over potential election

00:00:10.920 fraud. But all of that pales in comparison to the most important news story that the mainstream

00:00:16.800 media are bringing to you, Joe Biden's cat. And now some breaking news. President-elect

00:00:24.600 Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, won't just be bringing their German shepherds, major and champ,

00:00:30.120 to the White House. The Bidens tell us exclusively that soon they'll be joined by a cat.

00:00:37.320 By the way, the real reason that Joe Biden needs a cat is that his dog is threatening his life and

00:00:43.120 breaking his bones. That is true. Not a very auspicious start for the alleged Biden presidency.

00:00:48.940 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:54.600 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment from last Wednesday, it has been so long. I hope you

00:01:05.880 all had a happy Thanksgiving and are having a very happy Cyber Monday. I hope you're getting

00:01:11.860 Daily Wire subscriptions on Cyber Monday. But my favorite comment from last Wednesday,

00:01:16.300 from Christoph Rodriguez, who says Biden is going to replace his, come on, man,

00:01:20.620 with Ay Caramba. It's true. Ay Caramba or Desposito, because he's going to have to get

00:01:25.500 his numbers up among Latino voters, among black voters, among a whole lot of voters. He's doing

00:01:30.560 very well among dead voters, but among other sorts of voters, it's a sort of up in the air.

00:01:35.140 Speaking of people that we want to remember, Legacy Box is a safe and affordable way to digitally

00:01:41.360 preserve all your home movies and photos that are currently trapped on dated formats like VHS or film.

00:01:47.440 With everything that's going on here is a great way to ensure the focus remains on your family

00:01:52.360 this holiday season. So many of us have irreplaceable moments on tapes and film

00:01:57.200 that we can no longer watch. This, this happened to me and I'll give you a very sad example.

00:02:02.580 A beloved family member who died, I had all of these photographs in one place and then I lost them

00:02:08.260 and I lost them before I had Legacy Box. Fortunately, I did find some more photos,

00:02:12.680 immediately sent them to Legacy Box. I'm so glad that they are now preserved forever.

00:02:16.580 They can help you discover what's on all those tapes and films. Maybe you don't even know what's

00:02:20.480 on them anymore and keep the footage organized and safe for years to come. Once you have those

00:02:24.880 digital versions, you can relax knowing they're secure for generations. Legacy Box is something

00:02:29.400 you can order in minutes and enjoy forever. This is the best deal of the year right now.

00:03:04.000 to remember, some of whom may have voted in the presidential election. And yet the story

00:03:08.080 that we're hearing from the mainstream media is about Joe Biden's pets. This is the kind

00:03:13.080 of hard hitting journalism that you can expect if Joe Biden does in fact ascend to the presidency,

00:03:19.660 which very likely we'll know within a couple of weeks when the electors vote on December

00:03:23.820 14th. But the cat story actually does have a serious aspect to it, which is that Joe Biden

00:03:29.580 has some dogs and he was playing with his dogs and he had a fall. And if he were a younger

00:03:35.600 man, that wouldn't be a big deal. But because he's exceedingly frail and elderly, this fall was

00:03:42.600 very, very serious. As NBC News reports, Joe Biden just left an orthopedic office in Delaware

00:03:48.220 where he was treated for a sprained right ankle after this fall on Saturday. It looks like he's

00:03:53.060 got a fracture in his, in his foot. And so probably the cat is a little bit more his speed than the

00:04:00.140 dog. This is very sad. I'm actually, I'm not making fun of Joe Biden. I do not wish him ill. I do not

00:04:05.220 wish him broken bones. I think it is very sad for him. And it's very sad for the country that

00:04:12.460 potentially we will have a frail president who is not up for the job, who should be in retirement

00:04:21.440 after 50 years of living off public corruption. That would be much, much better.

00:04:29.260 However, president Trump responding to this, by the way, he tweets that he just says, get well soon.

00:04:36.420 You know, Trump, I guess it's a nice thing for him to say, but what he's pointing out is I'm very

00:04:41.300 energetic. My opponent is frail and elderly. That is the point that he's making. He has been making

00:04:47.760 this point for a very long time. He's been making it ever since he said he was a young and vibrant

00:04:51.540 man. Which of these guys is the president elect? We don't know. According to the media,

00:04:56.660 Joe Biden is basically already the president. Forget about the inauguration. Forget about the

00:05:01.280 electors voting. The guy's already in office. And according to Trump supporters, a great many of

00:05:05.800 them, something like 71%, the election was illegitimate. The election was stolen. And a

00:05:11.000 great many of those people think that president Trump is the president elect. We have something like

00:05:16.640 Schrodinger's cat. We have Schrodinger's president. We are in a state of quantum politics where both of

00:05:24.260 these guys simultaneously appear to be the president elect. Schrodinger's cat, for those of

00:05:29.020 you who don't remember all the way back to eighth grade, when this science thought experiment was

00:05:33.720 brought up to us, it is this, this thought experiment whereby you've got a cat in a box

00:05:38.900 and you've got a poison that will be released based on a random quantum event. And without going too much

00:05:46.860 into the scientific theory that I don't even really understand myself, the question is when does a

00:05:53.600 quantum system stop existing as this super position of states, all these multiple states at one time

00:05:59.240 and collapse into one distinct reality? When does it stop being the case that Joe Biden and Donald Trump

00:06:05.260 are both the president elect, according to a great many people in the country, both of these

00:06:09.960 probabilities existing at once, when does it collapse into who will be the president? Well, if you ask

00:06:17.760 president Trump, I guess it would be December 14th, except he was just asked by a reporter

00:06:23.540 if the electors vote for Joe Biden on December 14th, will you concede? His answer, a little ambiguous.

00:06:32.220 It's going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud.

00:06:36.880 So as to whether or not I can get this apparatus moving this quickly,

00:06:41.820 because time isn't on our side, everything else is on our side. Facts are on our side.

00:06:47.480 This was a massive fraud. This should never take place in this country. We're like a third world

00:06:52.900 country. We have machines that nobody knows what the hell they're looking at. I mean, you take a look

00:06:57.180 at all the mistakes they made. Look at even Georgia, look at all the mistakes they made. And that all that

00:07:01.580 was is a simple. You press a button. Look at look at Georgia. All the all the votes they found just 0.64

00:07:07.220 by going. And I said they shouldn't even do it because it doesn't mean anything. They're doing

00:07:11.960 a recount right now in Georgia that is meaningless. The only recount that matters in Georgia is to look

00:07:18.300 at the signatures on the envelope and you will find that those signatures do not match the people

00:07:23.360 that were many of them, hundreds of thousands of them, hundreds of thousands. And I only lost by 12,000

00:07:28.720 votes. I didn't lose. I didn't even like to say I lose. Okay. So you, you see the point here,

00:07:33.820 President Trump saying, I don't know, it's a hard thing to concede. Now, I don't think that

00:07:37.440 President Trump is going to declare a military dictatorship, you know, and martial law if the

00:07:43.760 electors vote for Biden on December 14th, but he's not conceding yet, nor should he. According to the

00:07:50.020 media, it's clear Donald Trump lost. He lost by a lot. Oh, there's not too much evidence of fraud.

00:07:56.620 Oh, forget about Georgia. Forget about Pennsylvania. That's all bunk. There is a lot

00:08:02.920 of evidence of what we call irregularities. And maybe we should use a harsher term even than

00:08:09.280 irregularities. There was no reason, if everything was above board, there was no reason to stop the

00:08:16.320 vote counting at 1030 at night on election night in certain highly democratic, democratically

00:08:24.000 controlled precincts. Okay. There was no reason to do that. There was especially no reason as we saw

00:08:29.300 in Georgia to then surreptitiously restart the counting at one in the morning when there were

00:08:34.560 no poll watchers around whatsoever. There was no reason for the democratic run machine cities to 1.00

00:08:41.000 prevent Republican poll watchers from watching the count. There was especially no reason for those

00:08:46.620 same democratically run cities to ignore a court order demanding that Republican poll watchers watch

00:08:51.540 the count. There was no reason to do any of that if everything was above board, but maybe everything

00:08:58.040 was not above board. We're being told by the media, there are no evidence that there was any fraud in

00:09:04.860 this election. Obviously we've gone through quite a bit of that evidence on this show, but we saw some

00:09:10.900 more evidence of that last week. Last week during a Pennsylvania hearing on some of the irregularities

00:09:17.120 here, you had a data specialist come out, Colonel Phil Waldron, make even more explosive claims than

00:09:23.960 any of the evidence we've been discussing on this show. Phil Waldron claimed that the election software

00:09:30.520 that was used all around this country in a great many places was built to be hacked.

00:09:36.120 The voting systems in the US and in Pennsylvania were built to be manipulated. They've been used in

00:09:42.600 elections around the world and stolen elections around the world in Venezuela, Italy, Argentina,

00:09:48.440 Singapore, Bolivia as close as two weeks ago. The Philadelphia uses ES&S, Pittsburgh uses Dominion,

00:09:56.000 other counties in Pennsylvania use Dominion and other systems. So what's the real deal? So all of these

00:10:04.440 election systems have a common DNA. SGO Smartmatic sold Sequoia voting systems to Dominion in 2010.

00:10:12.280 And then the Diebold company spun off premier election systems to Dominion as a result of an antitrust suit.

00:10:18.840 I know there have been statements to the contrary, but I personally debriefed the son of a Cuban intelligence

00:10:24.280 officer who had firsthand knowledge of Hugo Chavez's family members who told him not to worry about the populist threat

00:10:32.280 against Maduro's election in Venezuela. Quote, unquote, that it was guaranteed their father

00:10:38.520 invested the money to build the SGO voting machine system. So I have no reason to doubt this gentleman.

00:10:44.760 He's sworn an affidavit to this effect. These are pretty explosive claims. And before the media

00:10:52.120 write this guy off as some total kook who heard this from a guy and a guy and he's the dry cleaner of 0.72

00:10:58.040 the cousin of, you know, this is a serious person, this Colonel Phil Waldron, talking about serious

00:11:03.880 people, Cuban intelligence officers. We know there's a very tight relationship between Cuban

00:11:07.560 intelligence and Venezuela, particularly under Hugo Chavez. These claims are that through various

00:11:14.760 companies, various sales of companies, there has been some association between the different election

00:11:20.520 software companies here, notably Dominion, and that it was possible for the election to have been hacked.

00:11:29.240 That the, that in a certain sense, these machines were built such that the election could have been

00:11:34.120 hacked. Dominion, of course, denies all of this. I think it's pretty clear that this guy's showing

00:11:39.640 vulnerabilities. He's showing, he actually flat out states that the devices are connected to the internet.

00:11:45.000 So they have at least the logical possibility of being hacked. The problem here though,

00:11:49.960 with running out of time, as President Trump pointed out, is the Trump team needs to provide

00:11:54.520 proof, not merely that this could happen, but that it did happen. And I know it's very, very difficult

00:12:00.680 to provide that proof. Even if it did happen around the country, even if millions of votes were shifted,

00:12:06.280 it would be very difficult to find the proof of that. But the Trump team needs to provide the proof of

00:12:10.440 that or, and this is just a purely descriptive matter, the courts are not going to overthrow

00:12:14.680 the election. And, and frankly, even the state legislatures are not going to flip the certification

00:12:21.000 or refuse to certify in the places that they haven't. It just won't happen. They need to provide

00:12:27.000 the proof that it did happen. Now, look, there is evidence. We're being told there's no evidence of

00:12:32.760 anything for, and even let's forget about the poll watchers for a second. There's no evidence that there

00:12:36.920 were any irregularities because of the voting machines or batches of votes coming in. B.S.,

00:12:41.320 there's a ton of evidence of that. In fact, Colonel Waldron points out that there was a massive

00:12:46.440 vote dump, while there have been massive vote dumps in a number of places with statistical anomalies,

00:12:51.080 one of which showed that more than 99% of the ballots in one dump went to Joe Biden.

00:12:59.000 Normally, you would expect to see a smooth curve going up, not any, not any big, big spikes. That's

00:13:07.080 kind of what, what Greg was talking about, the, the anomalies of loading and uploading those,

00:13:13.480 those votes. So that big spike that occurs there is a prime indicator of fraudulent voting.

00:13:20.520 And that's 604,000 votes in 90 minutes. Is that right?

00:13:25.080 Correct. This is 300 and 337 votes, 337,000 votes in that period of time. Yes. And when you look at

00:13:35.960 this entire curve with all these spikes, can you calculate how, how, how much of a vote that accounted

00:13:44.280 for for Biden and how much for Trump? Close to 600,000. I think our, our figures are about 570

00:13:50.600 some odd thousand that, uh, all those spikes represent over time. For Biden. Correct.

00:13:55.160 And how much for Trump? I think it was a little over 3,200. 570,000 for Biden, 3,000 for Trump,

00:14:05.480 which means that in that batch that came in, Joe Biden received 99.4% of the vote.

00:14:13.720 We got to congratulate Joe Biden. Joe Biden managed to outperform Saddam Hussein at the height of his 0.69

00:14:21.000 power in Iraq in certain voting batch dumps in certain counties in America. Wow. Good job, Joe. 0.99

00:14:30.840 Here I thought that there was very little enthusiasm for Joe Biden's candidacy. Turns out

00:14:35.400 he does better numbers than a Middle Eastern dictator. Does he? Or maybe, maybe not. Maybe he doesn't.

00:14:41.240 Maybe that's statistically impossible. Now we have, we have so much of this evidence. And yet,

00:14:50.120 if you can't prove that it was done, not merely that it could be done, not merely that the

00:14:54.680 statistics point to that it was done. If you can't prove that it was done, then all of this evidence

00:15:00.520 in a buck 50 is going to get us a buck, or rather, it's going to get us a cup of coffee,

00:15:06.680 even on Cyber Monday with all these great deals. You know, speaking of these great deals,

00:15:10.680 the holidays are here. This year, you got to give yourself some extra money in your pocket.

00:15:15.160 You can pay off your credit card balances and save with a credit card consolidation loan

00:15:19.720 from Lightstream. Roll your high interest credit card payments into just one payment at a lower fixed

00:15:23.880 rate. Lightstream's credit card consolidation loans have rates as low as 5.95% APR with auto

00:15:29.640 pay and excellent credit. You can get a loan from $5,000 to $100,000 plus absolutely no fees,

00:15:36.360 no application fees, no origination fees, no transaction fees, no prepayment penalties. I

00:15:40.280 know there are all these little fees that the companies always add in, not here. You can even get

00:15:44.760 your money as soon as the day that you apply. I have seen friends and family members ruin their

00:15:50.760 financial lives because of crippling credit card debt in particular. Do not do that. Be smart.

00:15:56.520 Don't throw money out the window. My listeners can save even more, by the way, with an additional

00:16:35.480 courts. I think, again, it's probably unlikely that the courts are going to grow enough of a spine

00:16:41.080 to decertify election results, to halt the end of this election. However, there is some good news.

00:16:48.680 In Georgia, there was an emergency order just sent in by Judge Timothy Batten Sr., which will

00:16:55.740 prevent election officials from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the state of Georgia until

00:17:02.980 further order of the court. This is very important because if there were anomalies on these voting

00:17:08.100 machines, you want to at least preserve the computers so that you might have some evidence.

00:17:12.980 Maybe you don't even have evidence after that. But at the very least, this judge thinks that there is

00:17:17.020 enough evidence that there was tampering in the voting machines in Georgia that we need to stop

00:17:21.660 those voting machines from being wiped or reset. Again, is that going to be enough? I'm skeptical.

00:17:29.700 I'm skeptical that that will be enough. Unless you can provide a hard proof, I think that these

00:17:34.760 judges are going to not want to be seen as interfering in the political process, throwing an election,

00:17:41.840 and unfortunately, the process may play out. As President Trump says, time is running out. There's

00:17:47.800 still a little bit of time, but it's about 14 days left where we're suspended in this quantum state

00:17:51.980 where we've got potentially two presidents elect. Now, there is some good news coming out of the

00:17:57.500 Supreme Court as well, which is that the Supreme Court defended religious liberty. Well, that's a good 1.00

00:18:02.420 thing, especially if we are headed for a Joe Biden presidency, which I hope that we are not,

00:18:08.420 and I still hold out some hope that we are not. But if we are, religious liberty is going to come

00:18:12.800 under grave attack. Joe Biden already sued nuns when he was vice president during the Obama

00:18:18.000 administration, sued nuns because they wouldn't pay for abortion drugs. He's promising to do so again.

00:18:23.580 These democratic tyrants around the country are encouraging people to go out and protest for BLM 0.71

00:18:29.200 and steal Gucci bags and sneakers, but they are shutting down churches. Well,

00:18:33.740 the Supreme Court said no to that. In a 5-4 ruling on Wednesday night, the Supreme Court

00:18:38.340 backed a religious challenge to Andrew Cuomo's restrictions of churches and synagogues in New

00:18:45.020 York. Cuomo has been particularly bad about this. The devout Catholic Andrew Cuomo of similar devotion

00:18:51.140 to the devout Catholic Joe Biden, who, by the way, doesn't even know simple books of the Bible,

00:18:56.820 which we'll get to in a little bit. The Supreme Court came out and said, no, you can't shut down

00:19:02.340 these places. You can't shut down the synagogues and you can't shut down the churches. A lot of other

00:19:08.660 places are open in this country, but for some reason, democratic governors have had a real problem 0.66

00:19:12.960 with the churches and the synagogues. And the reason for this, by the way, the charitable read

00:19:17.560 of why they want to keep those shut down is that they think that religion is superfluous. 0.99

00:19:22.500 It's ridiculous. It's silly that people still go to church. They don't believe 0.98

00:19:27.360 in any of the things that go on in churches and synagogues. These democratic secularists

00:19:34.820 think it's all superstition. They believe that religious people are superstitious. Ironically,

00:19:39.640 irreligious people are much more superstitious, which we recently found out also thanks to the 1.00

00:19:44.220 mainstream media. But they believe there's no reason to risk people's lives. It's very important

00:19:49.000 that people go protest for BLM. That's important to the human spirit and to our body politic.

00:19:54.980 But it's not important that they go worship this crazy old man in the sky with a beard as they

00:20:00.800 describe God, as no one else describes God in history, but as liberal atheists do. And so they 0.84

00:20:06.380 want to keep that shut down. Well, the Supreme Court says no. This is very important. The closure of

00:20:12.020 these churches from the beginning was always outrageous. We never should have tolerated it.

00:20:15.620 There is a scientific argument to keep the churches open as well. I don't really care

00:20:21.920 to make scientific arguments that the only language that the left speaks is scientific

00:20:26.020 with a capital S, which does not refer really to physical science, but it refers to their religion

00:20:31.580 of secularism. Of course, their love of science doesn't apply when men pretend that they can become

00:20:36.700 women or when activists pretend that babies are not human. So it isn't even scientific in the narrow

00:20:42.240 physical sense. But when they invoke science, they're invoking their own secular religion.

00:20:46.380 And it's important to point out to these left-wingers that even by their own premises that,

00:20:52.840 you know, we need to preserve our life on earth at all costs. It's worth not seeing anybody. It's

00:20:59.200 worth never seeing your loved ones or your relatives as long as you can eke out a few more months

00:21:02.840 on this earth. Even by that standard, it was wrong to shut down the churches and the synagogues.

00:21:09.400 There's a new report out from NBC, which says, hidden in a pandemic, elderly in nursing homes

00:21:16.300 are dying from isolation. The people who are in nursing homes, well, a lot of elderly in nursing

00:21:24.520 homes were dying because Andrew Cuomo sent sick people into nursing homes. Thousands of elderly New

00:21:29.680 Yorkers died because of that dumb policy. But that's not even what NBC is talking about. NBC is 0.98

00:21:33.760 saying that there are people who are dying of broken hearts, of despair, of isolation and of

00:21:38.880 loneliness in nursing homes because they can't see their loved ones. And guess who said that was going

00:21:43.940 to happen from the beginning? All of us, all of the conservatives. And when all the conservatives said,

00:21:50.240 hey guys, it's kind of cruel to lock away elderly people away from their loved ones for the,

00:21:55.340 for the last months or years of their life. When we, when we said that, do you know what the left

00:22:00.060 called a science deniers? Well, do you know what we can call it? We can call them philosophy deniers.

00:22:05.020 We can call them theology deniers because man does not live by bread alone. Okay. And, and life is not

00:22:11.420 just existing. It's not just being somewhat conscious. Life is being social, seeing people that you love,

00:22:19.180 pursuing your joys, having ambition, talking to people, enjoying one another's company.

00:22:28.140 NBC writes, more than eight months into the pandemic, the very isolation meant to protect

00:22:32.620 nursing home residents is also contributing to their deaths. Confined to their nursing homes and

00:22:37.140 largely cut off from visitors, many residents are experiencing mental and physical decline.

00:22:41.720 Gee, you don't say, you don't say. I hope, I've said this many times, especially during the

00:22:47.100 lockdowns. I hope that we can banish the term science from our political discourse. It is a

00:22:52.780 meaningless term now. Science, as you know, refers to knowledge. That's what the, it comes from

00:22:58.740 shire, the Latin word shire, which means to know. I mean, it once meant all knowledge. Then for the

00:23:05.000 past couple, few hundred years, it has referred very narrowly to material inquiry, you know, physical

00:23:10.500 things, not metaphysical things. Then now it refers to leftist politics, the science of history, the

00:23:18.520 science of politics, the science of progressivism. The left believes they know the way that history is

00:23:23.480 going to flow. And so anything that they prefer will be science and therefore outside the realm of

00:23:29.300 public debate. And anything that disagrees with their orthodoxy will, is unscientific. It's an

00:23:34.920 anti-science or a science denier. Well, it turns out the left-wing science isn't particularly

00:23:38.860 scientific because human beings need more than just physical things. We do need to see people. We do

00:23:45.220 have hopes and dreams and cares for the, for the materialists who believe that nothing exists

00:23:49.420 outside of physical objects like this microphone or this leftist here's tumbler, which is very

00:23:54.260 important. It has a spiritual quality too. For people who believe that, that only material things

00:23:59.400 exist. How about mathematics? Mathematics isn't physical, it's metaphysical. Ideas, loves, joys,

00:24:09.440 cares, sorrows, everything that really matters to you. Not physical. Perhaps we could focus on that

00:24:18.020 as well. There's more to life and death than just life and death. Though there was some great news

00:24:24.280 in the field of death, usually a sort of sad topic to discuss, but there is some good news for justice

00:24:31.080 because the federal government is now permitting other forms of the death penalty

00:24:34.800 other than lethal injection. And I know a lot of liberals are furious and even many conservatives

00:24:40.360 are furious. And unfortunately they're all wrong. This is very good news for justice.

00:24:45.640 You know, justice, order, law, security. These are things on which civilization rests. And you know,

00:24:57.760 online it's very difficult to protect your data security, but you should. The holidays can feel

00:25:01.580 like a never ending to-do list. There's shopping online, there's, there's browsing that you're going

00:25:06.820 to be doing all the time, scrolling and scrolling. All of that can expose your personal info. So get

00:25:11.100 LifeLock identity theft protection because not all websites are on the nice list. And you will want

00:25:16.500 to know if your personal information has been potentially exposed or found on the dark web.

00:25:21.860 LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats. For instance, this is a top line one,

00:25:28.320 social security number for sale on the dark web. If they detect your information being used in their

00:25:32.560 network, they will send you an alert. If you become a victim of identity theft, LifeLock can help you

00:25:37.500 restore your identity easier than what you can do on your own. It's very simple. I know I used to

00:25:42.620 think no one's after my data. They are. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all

00:25:48.900 transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can help you feel protected this holiday season. The best

00:26:08.440 November 30th. The left will allow the elderly to die of loneliness in nursing homes. And that's fine. 0.95

00:26:18.420 That's wonderful. They celebrate that. They demand you let that happen. But then the left will weep

00:26:23.240 for the monsters and rapists and murderers who are getting their just desserts. Well, beginning on 0.97

00:26:30.840 Christmas Eve, the Department of Justice will allow the Bureau of Prisons to execute inmates

00:26:35.420 on federal death row by means other than lethal injection. And I think this is very important. 0.99

00:26:40.520 And it's a way to show even more clearly that the death penalty is not cruel and unusual punishment

00:26:46.780 because lethal injection, well, it's not unusual. I guess it does happen. But I do suspect it's a bit

00:26:53.760 crueler than other forms of capital punishment. The reason for this, it gets to what we're talking

00:27:00.920 about, how there's more than the physical world to our existence. There's no dignity in lethal

00:27:09.680 injection. When a criminal is lethally injected, it's so clinical. It's so, you're strapped to the

00:27:17.340 table. You're lying down. It's apparently quite painful sometimes. It often goes wrong.

00:27:23.160 It's just a really vile process. But that does not mean that the death penalty generally is a vile

00:27:28.700 process. There actually can be dignity in the death penalty. There's a line from Dr. Johnson who says,

00:27:34.000 when a man knows he's to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully,

00:27:38.560 meaning it can actually help you put your ideas and your soul in order. And then you stand on the

00:27:46.200 scaffold. It's not a pleasant experience probably, but certainly more pleasant than being strapped down to a

00:27:51.800 gurney and injected with some painful poison. I've often considered firing squad would probably be

00:27:58.340 the most dignified way to go. You can go out with a blindfold. It's sudden. You've got a cigarette in

00:28:03.560 your mouth. Say, you know, I wouldn't prefer it to living, but it's certainly a more dignified way to

00:28:09.480 go. The fact that now the federal government will permit these states to use different forms of the

00:28:15.340 death penalty, I think is important. One, the death penalty itself is morally justifiable. And

00:28:21.800 there's a strong argument that it's morally preferable to 30 years or 50 years or 100 years

00:28:28.580 of life in prison, whatever. But also, it's important to think through these things. In our

00:28:34.820 society, we want to pretend that death doesn't exist. We want to pretend that people can be president at

00:28:39.840 85 years old or whatever. We want to pretend that they won't have lost a step, that there's no such

00:28:44.260 thing as cognitive decline. We want to pretend that we will never die, that we can put off making

00:28:49.220 decisions. We can put off marriage. We can put off having kids. We can put off taking our career

00:28:54.780 seriously. We can put off our education. We can put it all in all off because in liberal society,

00:28:59.980 we want to pretend that there's no such thing as time. And we want to pretend there's no such thing

00:29:04.100 as death. And we want to pretend that through our progressive politics, we can actually eliminate germs.

00:29:09.840 We can actually eliminate disease. We can even eliminate death. And that is simply not true.

00:29:14.880 We are living in a fallen world. This is the reality of it. And there's nothing compassionate

00:29:19.660 about ignoring those realities, pretending that they don't exist, allowing cruel and cynical people

00:29:25.280 to run roughshod over our society. Nothing compassionate about that at all. Now, that point of

00:29:32.600 view requires taking religion seriously. And the left doesn't want to do that. The left thinks that's

00:29:37.780 all superstition. Well, if you read the Daily Beast, I think it's pretty clear that secularists, 0.95

00:29:44.020 atheists, are the most superstitious people on planet Earth because they're now running a very 1.00

00:29:51.720 important story from a very important expert who is a pet psychic and wants to let the world know what

00:29:59.160 Joe Biden's pets think about the alleged election of their master, which we'll get to in a second.

00:31:25.920 Daily Beast. Left wing website. Joe Biden's dogs have told this pet psychic a lot about their beloved

00:31:40.500 master and his future. I'll just read you the first paragraph. Pet psychic Beth Lee Crowther says that

00:31:49.300 Joe Biden's dogs, Major and Champ, told her they are excited to live in the White House. They also say

00:31:54.860 their master will be a great president. Champ says he needs memory foam bedding to ease problems with

00:32:01.580 his joints. Major thinks he may have dental problems. Both dogs say Joe Biden's troubles with Donald Trump

00:32:06.460 are far from over, but that their master is calm and focused enough to steer America forward.

00:32:12.920 The wisdom and prophecies of this pet psychic go on, but I think you get the point. 0.99

00:32:18.200 The same people who tell you that Christianity is crazy, ridiculous. So how nuts are you to believe 0.99

00:32:28.300 the old fables in a book written by illiterate goat herders or whatever they say about the Bible? 0.92

00:32:35.580 The same people who tell you that's crazy. They believe this stuff. They run this stuff.

00:32:40.260 They do. And even for the people who maybe they're just listening to the pet psychic story

00:32:45.360 as a kind of funny sideshow, but they don't really take it seriously. Well, they might not take this

00:32:50.080 seriously, but I bet they'll take maybe their horoscope seriously. I can't tell you how many

00:32:55.300 conversations I've been in with friends of mine, many friends of mine all over the country who really,

00:33:01.660 really believe in the horoscopes. I mean, they're avowed atheists, but they believe in the horoscopes

00:33:07.720 or a friends of mine who they think going to church is crazy, but they can't miss their yoga

00:33:14.740 session because yoga, they can't explain it, but it really centers their spirit. You know,

00:33:19.240 it gets all of their energy in the right order. It is a liturgy for them. I mean, I've had friends

00:33:23.940 of mine say that yoga is their church and it is because yoga is a religious liturgy, whether we

00:33:28.420 admit it or not. How many people, how many people take it? They say, well, look, I don't believe in any of

00:33:35.320 that hokey metaphysical stuff, but I eat this very special diet because this very special diet not

00:33:41.660 only helps me lose weight, but it just gets my whole body and spirit in order together. So I'm

00:33:47.300 communing more appropriately with the world. All these kinds of hokey things, which are usually

00:33:52.060 based on nothing. All those faddish diets. Do you remember a few years ago when everyone suddenly

00:33:56.440 had celiac disease? Somehow the rates of celiac disease increased by 7 zillion percent. And even the

00:34:02.740 people who were honest and admitted they didn't have celiac disease, they said, well, I don't have

00:34:06.920 celiac disease, but I still have a gluten allergy. I still, I'm, I still have a gluten sensitivity.

00:34:12.760 And their, their evidence for this was that when they stopped stuffing their face with bagels every

00:34:16.740 day, they felt better. I must have a medical condition. No, I think, I think just stuffing your

00:34:21.720 face with bagels is not going to make you feel great. I say, this is a man who regularly stuffs his

00:34:26.360 face with bagels. That's, I'm a New Yorker. This is the sort of thing that we do. All of these kind

00:34:32.220 of hokey theories, these hokey ideas, the crystals. I mean, I lived in Los Angeles. Everyone talks about

00:34:38.940 these, the, the effects of crystals and incense and all this kind of nonsense. That is superstitious.

00:34:44.280 That is part of a religious liturgy. And it is much crazier than anything you will find in true 0.99

00:34:50.380 religion. The, the irony here is that religious people are the least superstitious people I know 0.85

00:34:56.260 because they are grounding their beliefs about the metaphysical world in rigorous thought,

00:35:04.420 rigorous study. St. Thomas Aquinas was not a, a superstitious man. He was one of the greatest

00:35:11.300 logicians we've ever had in, in our civilization. There's an, you, you often hear if you don't stand

00:35:17.120 for something, you will fall for anything. There's an irony that the, it is the irreligious who are 1.00

00:35:21.720 the most superstitious people. And speaking of religious conflict, at this point, I think the

00:35:27.400 New York Times must be trolling us because if Joe Biden does ascend to the presidency, here's the sort

00:35:31.820 of thing you've got to look forward to. New York Times writes, Iranian officials who have always

00:35:37.480 maintained that their nuclear ambitions are for peaceful purposes, not weapons, expressed fury and vowed

00:35:43.640 revenge over the assassination of one of their top nuclear scientists, calling it an act of terrorism

00:35:50.020 and warmongering. Donald Trump knows that if Joe Biden becomes president, he's going to go really easy

00:35:58.260 on the Iranians and put back in place that awful Iran deal that led to madness in the Middle East, 0.88

00:36:03.400 unlike Trump's policy, which stopped being so nice to Iran and led to a lot of peace in the Middle East.

00:36:08.620 So what Donald Trump is doing, the president goes in and assassinates a top Iranian nuclear scientist

00:36:16.160 because nobody really believes that they want a peaceful nuclear program. They obviously want a

00:36:20.280 bomb. The New York Times seems to admit this too. Their ambitions are for peaceful purposes,

00:36:25.680 but they have fury and vowed revenge. It must be like how those protests over the summer

00:36:29.800 were for peaceful purposes. They're mostly peaceful nuclear ambitions. They're mostly,

00:36:34.520 they're protests really. When the bomb drops all that while it's falling, I guess that's going to be

00:36:40.480 some sort of protest. It is not an act of terrorism, by the way, to kill an Iranian nuclear

00:36:46.040 scientist. An Iranian nuclear scientist is working on behalf of the state, obviously for military

00:36:51.480 purposes. An act of terrorism is when you target civilians to achieve a political goal. This is not even

00:36:59.540 close to that. You're targeting someone who is working for the state for military purposes to

00:37:06.080 achieve your own military and political goal. Not terrorism at all, not warmongering. I don't think

00:37:10.660 we need any lectures from the New York Times or from Joe Biden or from Barack Obama or any of the

00:37:16.740 liberal establishment on warmongering. Donald Trump has the greatest record of peace in my lifetime of

00:37:22.540 any president. And the Democratic predecessor, president and vice president, Obama and Biden,

00:37:29.620 both had a terrible record. Also speaking of religion, I had to bring up this clip. This might

00:37:35.540 be my favorite clip from the entire Thanksgiving weekend. We've been told that Joe Biden is a devout

00:37:42.840 Catholic. We've been told that Donald Trump is a terrible, horrible sinner and awful man who doesn't 1.00

00:37:49.700 know anything about the Bible. You remember he referred to second Corinthians as two Corinthians, 0.99

00:37:54.260 which by the way, some people actually do. But anyway, he was mocked for this. He's never read a Bible

00:37:58.000 in his life. You didn't see the same treatment when Joe Biden over the weekend referred to a book of

00:38:05.840 the Bible that I'm not familiar with. The book of Palms. And if we do, and I'm sure we can, we can

00:38:13.920 proclaim the palmist with the palmist who wrote these following words. The Lord is my strength and my shield.

00:38:26.500 The palmist. The palmist wrote that. That's, I thought I had read at least a decent number of books

00:38:34.000 of the Bible. I guess I had missed the palmist. I think he might be referring to the psalmist.

00:38:39.920 No doubt Joe Biden will blame this on his childhood stutter, just like he blames everything on his

00:38:44.340 childhood stutter, which magically disappeared from the age of what, seven to 75. And then that

00:38:50.580 childhood stutter came back again. I think if it comes back at 75, it's not a childhood stutter anymore.

00:38:55.360 I think it's an adult cognitive decline. But in this case, I don't think it's that Joe Biden

00:39:01.240 is in such decline that he forgets the book of this Bible that he's devoted to. He's not a devout

00:39:06.400 Catholic in any way. He supports abortion, which is not permissible. And he supports abortion in 0.97

00:39:11.920 public life, which is not permissible. That's why he was denied the Eucharist at mass a number of

00:39:16.800 months ago. Rightly denied that. Joe Biden ought to be excommunicated. Excommunication can be an act

00:39:23.180 of mercy. This gets back, I guess, to our death penalty conversation. Justice can be an act of

00:39:30.680 compassion because the purpose of something like an excommunication or of this chiding is to change

00:39:40.800 the person's heart. It's rehabilitative. Punishment can be a rehabilitative thing. We used to know that.

00:39:47.380 You do this to say you are in a very grave state. You are imperiling your soul, Joe Biden,

00:39:56.900 who professes to be a devout Catholic. You need to repent and change your views. But no one's forcing

00:40:01.940 him to do that, which is much crueler to Joe Biden if you actually believe that Catholic religion that

00:40:07.960 he pretends to believe. He sues nuns. People who are devout Catholics don't sue nuns. And people who are

00:40:13.760 devout Catholics, though they may not have read every single word of the Bible, I'm willing to 1.00

00:40:19.000 grant that because Catholics read the Bible liturgically. You read it as part of mass. But 0.51

00:40:22.740 sure, maybe they haven't read every word of it. They've read the Psalms. The Psalms are one of the

00:40:29.280 most significant, well-known books of the Bible. And I just don't think Joe Biden takes any of that

00:40:34.340 very seriously. I think that his true religion that he's devoted to is secularism. I think that's the

00:40:40.260 true religion of virtually everybody on the left today. And it's a false religion. And it's a wicked

00:40:47.040 religion for our politics. And it's going to lead to a lot of misery. And it's going to ruin a lot of 0.98

00:40:51.780 souls in the life hereafter. But it is a strong religion. And we need to call it for what it is.

00:40:59.580 He's the potential president, Joe Biden. Another potential president, actually the current president

00:41:04.740 right now, Donald Trump, who does not get fawning articles about his kitty cats, who does not get

00:41:10.860 off the hook when he misstates books of the Bible. Donald Trump actually gets less respect, maybe than

00:41:17.540 anybody else in the entire country. And recently during a press conference, some reporter starts

00:41:24.720 mouthing off in a way that's degrading, not only to the presidency, but especially degrading to this

00:41:29.580 reporter. And President Trump calls him out for it. And he points out, you know, buddy, whatever you

00:41:33.640 think of me personally, you are disrespecting the office of the president. No, I can't say that at

00:41:38.940 all. I think it's a, it's a possibility. They're trying to look between you people. Don't answer.

00:41:45.120 Don't talk to me that way. You're just a, you're just a lightweight. Don't talk to me that way. 0.98

00:41:49.100 Don't talk to, I'm the president of the United States. Don't ever talk to the president that way.

00:41:53.540 All right, I'm going to go with another question. Go ahead.

00:41:56.560 Absolutely right. And some people are going to attack Donald Trump for this and say,

00:42:00.020 he is thin skinned. He's an egotist. He's not an egotist. 0.67

00:42:02.860 I mean, he's an egotist in the sense that every politician is an egotist and Trump puts his name

00:42:07.480 on buildings. But when it gets to the deeper question of political humility or political

00:42:13.260 narcissism, Donald Trump is much more humble than Barack Obama. Barack Obama felt there was no

00:42:20.360 end to his ability to transform the world through politics. He described himself as a sort of savior,

00:42:27.520 a messianic figure who said that the earth would heal and the oceans, the sea levels would lower

00:42:31.960 upon his election. Donald Trump doesn't say that sort of thing. And if Donald Trump were a true

00:42:37.580 narcissist in this case, he would say, don't ever talk to me like that. I'm Donald Trump.

00:42:41.000 You can't talk to Donald Trump that way. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. That's not what he said.

00:42:44.580 He said, don't, don't you talk to me that way. I'm the president of the United States. Don't you ever

00:42:49.260 talk to the president of the United States like this? Whether that president is me, whether that

00:42:53.560 president is somebody else, whether that president was Barack Obama. We didn't do this sort of thing

00:42:59.520 during the Obama administration. Worst thing anyone ever said to Barack Obama was when that

00:43:05.540 congressman yelled out during the state of the union, you lie. Well, Barack Obama was lying

00:43:09.120 and it was disrespectful. Sure. But compared to this stuff, it's nothing compared to this stuff.

00:43:14.560 That was child's play. Republicans, generally speaking, were very, very respectful to Obama

00:43:19.140 because as awful as he was and continues to be, he was the president. We have respect for the office

00:43:24.980 of the president. We didn't even impeach the guy. We could have because he abused his power and

00:43:29.460 committed crimes. We didn't do it. But that sort of disrespect continues with Donald Trump and it'll

00:43:37.700 happen to whoever the next guy is. The Republicans who are pretending that it's just Donald Trump that

00:43:43.320 they're after, they're kidding themselves. You could put up a living saint, maybe especially if you put

00:43:48.860 up a living saint, the left and the press and everybody else would absolutely eviscerate him.

00:43:55.980 We don't know who the next president will be. I know that this is unpleasant for us. We don't like

00:44:04.440 to live in this state of apprehension. We want to know what's happening. Well, life is the stuff of

00:44:11.060 apprehension and tension and unknowing. We just don't know these things for certain.

00:44:16.100 The left in particular wants to pretend that they know exactly what's going to happen forever because

00:44:21.120 of their fatalist religion of secularism and the science of history and the science of politics.

00:44:25.780 And they want to pretend that they know the right side of history and the utopia we're all going to

00:44:29.180 get to and how it's all going to work out. We don't. We don't. We know the state of things in the courts

00:44:35.900 doesn't look particularly great for Trump. He's had a few victories here and there. Contrary to what

00:44:40.760 the media have told you, he has presented evidence. His team has presented evidence of outright crimes

00:44:47.380 and certainly of matters of fraud and irregularities. Is that enough to overcome this hurdle, to decertify

00:44:53.920 the votes that have already been certified, to convince electors not to vote for Trump?

00:44:58.280 Doesn't seem particularly likely, but there's two weeks left. Do not give up. Do not give up.

00:45:05.080 Because what's the point of giving up? I know there are a lot of people who say Trump's just got to

00:45:08.200 concede. He's got to leave. If Trump gives up right now, first of all, anything that he's trying

00:45:12.440 to iron out before he leaves office, that's off the table. Any appointments he's trying to get

00:45:16.940 through, any deals he's trying to cut with our adversaries and our allies, that's not going to

00:45:21.620 work. And if he gives up right now, what happens to all those legal challenges that are potentially

00:45:27.860 exposing fraud? And in some cases have exposed serious evidence. Those would go away. We would gain

00:45:34.580 nothing. We would lose quite a lot. There is no reason to give, even if the chances are that we

00:45:41.480 don't prevail in the end, there is no reason to give up right now. The only people trying to get

00:45:45.960 you to give up are the ones who very likely didn't want to support Donald Trump in the first place.

00:45:52.440 They're trying to discourage you. Don't be discouraged. Be encouraged. Have heart. There is

00:45:57.360 quite a lot going on at the, at the physical level, at the metaphysical level, everywhere in between.

00:46:04.640 And if the time may come that we only get news stories about Fluffy the cat for the next four

00:46:09.840 years, so be it. But until then, we ought to keep fighting. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the

00:46:14.000 Michael Knowles Show. I'll see you tomorrow.

00:47:10.000 You know, The Matt Walsh Show, it's not just another show about politics. I think there are

00:47:14.840 enough of those already out there. We talk about culture because culture drives politics and it 0.69

00:47:19.880 drives everything else. So my main focuses are life, family, faith. Those are fundamental and

00:47:27.220 that's what this show is about. I hope you'll give it a listen.
