With just 20 days to go before the Iowa caucuses, the Democrats faced off last night in DeMoei, Iowa, and everybody lost.

That's right, nobody won. Not Biden, not Bernie, not Warren, not Pete, not the voters, not the viewers.

Every candidate did terribly. We will examine why and how that train wreck happened and what it means for 2020.

Then, House Democrats refused to condemn Iran for attacking us. Vince Vaughn gets canceled for shaking hands with the president, and Mike Bloomberg goes full boomer.

All that and more, I'm Michael Knowles, and this is the Michael Knowles show.

You have to know that I love you. You, my faithful listener, I love you so much that I sat through every single minute of that tedious, awful, boring, creepy, terrible, terrible debate for you so that I could bring you the moments.

We were only watching for one reason, those few of you who did watch and me. We were watching for one reason, and that was to see fireworks between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

In recent days, just the past three days or so, Warren leaked a story to CNN that Bernie Sanders during a 2018 meeting told her that a woman can't win the White House in 2020.

Bernie's camp denied this, then Warren's camp corroborated this. I mean, they didn't really corroborate it. They just backed her up and said, yeah, I heard him say this. I was in the meeting.

Then, Elizabeth Warren said it happened, too. Elizabeth Warren was asked about this by reporters. She said, yeah, he thought that a woman couldn't win. I thought a woman could win.

But anyway, we're moving on. Now, the fact that the Warren campaign leaked this to CNN is important, be a CNN was hosting the debate.

So, we were all tuning in for it. I was just see, finally, these candidates are going to take the gloves off. Warren and Sanders have had this kind of friendly relationship so far.

They've been teaming up to go after the other candidates. Now, they're going to go after one another. Right? Wrong. CNN asks the question. They finally bring it up.

First, the question goes to Bernie Sanders. Bernie, did you say this thing in 2018? Bernie Sanders gives an unequivocal no way.

CNN reported yesterday that, and Senator Sanders, Senator Warren confirmed in a statement that in 2018, you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election.

Why did you say that?

Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't say it. And I don't want to waste a whole lot of time on this, because this is what Donald Trump and maybe some of the media want.

Anybody knows me. Know that it's incomprehensible that I would think that a woman could not be president of the United States. Go to YouTube today.

There's a video of the 30 years ago talking about how a woman could become president of the United States.

In 2015, I deferred, in fact, to Senator Warren. There was a movement to draft Senator Warren to run for president.

And you know what? I said, stayed back. Senator Warren decided not to run, and I did. I did run afterwards.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by three million votes. How could anybody in a million years not believe that a woman could become president of the United States?
