This episode is brought to you by Cardiff, America's favorite small business lender with over 12 billion funded since 2004 Apply in under three minutes for same day funding, up to 500,000 at cardiff.co.noles.
Upset in Wisconsin. The white people hating, Thanksgiving canceling socialist Francesca Hong has gone down in the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary to moderate Democrat David Crowley, who is almost as bad. We will examine the shocking, disappointing upset. Can we pour one out? Can we just take a moment? Can we pour one out for Francesca? I'm very upset about this. Then a woman goes viral for dissing her husband as they are being married, like literally during the marriage, the wedding ceremony. Should wives take their husband's names? Yes, but there's more to say. We'll say more about it. Finally, massive cyber attacks are hitting water facilities all around the country, reminding Americans that we are actually at war. Do you remember that? We sometimes forget. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show. Speaking of matters of love and marriage, AOC has split from her fiance, her fiance for four years. A lot of people, a lot of guys actually I think are happy about this. I'm sad about this. This is sad. It does explain the egg freezing. We'll get to all of it. First though, I want to tell you about Cardiff. Go to cardiff.co.nol.
Some of the biggest moments in business begin with a question. Can you handle an order this big? Can you open another location? Can you deliver twice as much next month? Can you hire the people to make this happen? You want the answer always to be yes, but sometimes saying yes requires capital before the opportunity starts paying you back. That's where Cardiff comes in. Cardiff is the largest privately held small business lender in America. They've funded more than $12 billion for businesses since 2004 America's 36.2 million small businesses drive our economy, but more than 70% need additional capital at least once a year. Even with small business revenue at an all-time high, big banks are tightening underwriting and improving fewer loans. If you want bank rates without the bank delays, Cardiff can get your business approved in minutes and funded the very same day. Go to cardiff.co.nolts, up to half a million bucks in same-day funding. The application takes less than five minutes, no impact on personal credit. Qualified businesses can potentially get approved in minutes and funded the same day for up to half a million bucks. Right now, those banks are trying to lock out small business. Cardiff has the key. Big banks may not want to improve your business loans. Cardiff does. If you've been in business for at least a year and are pulling in 20 grand a month in revenue, apply for up to $500,000 in same-day business funding at cardiff.co.noles.
Cardiff.co.noles, real growth, fast funding. Cardiff, borrow better. Can we bring back Sarah McLachlan?
Can we bring her back? I'm really sad about this. Francesca Hong has gone down. Where's Sarah? Bring me the arms of an angel. Thank you.
I was looking forward to this one. We got the guy in Maine who had kids with his cousin. That Democrat candidate, we got Abdul El-Sayed. He's either a jihadi or a homosexual, depending on how his campaign is playing him at the time. I was so looking forward to Francesca.
Can we do a retrospective before we move on to the new nominee, David Crowley? Before we let her go, Francesca Hong was campaigning on how much she hates white people in a state that is 75% white. She made this as clear as day when she discussed the discomfort with her proximity to whiteness because her kid is part white.

**Francesca Hong** (4:01)
I did marry.
My proximity to whiteness continues, right? My son is biracial. He's half white and half Korean.

**Michael Knowles** (4:10)
My proximity to whiteness continues. When I talk about my kids, I say, Ah, you know, little so and so. He's got his daddy's hair. Ah, you know, little such and such. He's got his mother's eyes. Ah, my boy is the apple of my eye. And when Francesca Hong talks about her kids, she says, Ah, my son is half white. So my proximity to whiteness continues. She was just a perfect candidate. I just loved her.
Then if that would not be enough to take her down as a general election crowd, she called to cancel Thanksgiving. She was even asked about this by CNN.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:50)
Americans should cancel Thanksgiving, should have done this in 1621

**SPEAKER_5** (4:55)
The post has been deleted.

**Michael Knowles** (4:56)
Republicans have been highlighting it.
