While Americans drowned in their own homes from Hurricane Helene, the vice president was busy chatting about tampons and abortion on a sex podcast. If her priorities weren t clear to you already, well, they should be now. Also, Donald Trump returns to the scene of his first assassination attempt. The Department of Agriculture spends thousands of dollars on a program designed to make nature more inclusive to LGBT people. And today, during the Daily Cancellation, I m doing something I ve never done before. I m defending Kamala Harris.
00:27:11.160Here's the first piece of news that I want to mention briefly. News in my life and here at the
00:27:16.800Daily Wire. This past weekend, my film, Am I Racist, officially became the highest grossing
00:27:21.700documentary in the U.S. this decade. So through the first five years of this decade,
00:27:28.300we have almost through the first five years of 2020 to almost 2025, we have made more at the box
00:27:35.020office than any other film in our genre. And we also, on another note, we surpassed over the
00:27:41.040weekend Super Size Me at the domestic box office. Super Size Me, of course, didn't come out this
00:27:46.300decade, but is one of the most iconic and famous documentaries of all time, for better or worse.
00:27:52.560And we surpassed its domestic total. So all in all, some major achievements here and extremely
00:27:58.000grateful to everyone who came out and supported the film. It's a huge relief, along with many other
00:28:05.200things. It's a huge relief. I'll say that. Because as we've talked about, as I've mentioned on the
00:28:10.940show, the fact is that most documentaries just absolutely die at the box office. They make
00:28:16.420like $40,000 or whatever, and then they fade away. Most movies in general don't perform,
00:28:22.620documentaries in particular, because documentaries typically are not considered to be kind of
00:28:28.340theatrical experiences. So in a way, you might think that, because I've said that before,
00:28:36.160we've also talked about the risk involved in putting into the theaters. But you might think
00:28:42.960that actually it's kind of a no-risk proposition, because documentaries aren't supposed to make any
00:28:47.580money. They're not supposed to perform. Most of them don't. And one that's made by a conservative
00:28:53.440news company that's never put anything in theaters before, well, that's all the more reason why,
00:29:00.880by all rights, it shouldn't perform. And so if ours flopped, it would only be doing exactly what
00:29:06.400you'd expect to do and what most any other film in the same situation would do and has done.
00:29:12.360So you might think that. But we knew that we would not be given that kind of grace.
00:29:19.700There would be a lot of people lined up to point to our failure and hang it around our necks.
00:29:25.340There wouldn't be a lot of people saying, hey, you know, it's a documentary and real hard for
00:29:30.560those to succeed. It's their first try. Don't give them a hard time, guys. That wouldn't happen.
00:29:36.200Very few people would be saying that. Instead, they'd be pointing at me and calling me a one-hit
00:29:39.800wonder and celebrating the failure. And it would have been hugely embarrassing, probably devastating
00:29:44.340to my career personally and to the Daily Wire's brand. So you worry about that before you put the
00:29:49.500movie out. On top of the deep anxiety that anyone who's ever made anything creative just
00:29:54.360feels in general. You know, you always worry that before you put something out into the world that
00:29:59.640people won't get it, they won't like it and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, not trying to turn this
00:30:05.020into a therapy session. You know how I feel about therapy. The point is simply that even though things
00:30:11.540turned out extremely well, they didn't have to turn out that way. And there is a very substantial risk
00:30:18.600involved. Not guaranteed. We needed you guys to go watch the movie and get it, what we're doing,
00:30:24.840and appreciate it, and then go tell your friends about it. We needed all those things to happen in
00:30:28.640order for this gamble to pay off. And you did do all those things. So we thank you for that. And
00:30:34.640in many ways with this film, we're just getting started. It's only been out in the world for a few
00:30:39.580weeks. So very thrilled by how it's all turned out so far. Donald Trump spoke in Butler,
00:30:46.080Pennsylvania on Saturday. This is, of course, the site of the assassination attempt, the first one
00:30:51.640anyway. We now have to qualify that, those kinds of statements. So the site of his first assassination
00:30:56.360attempt. Elon Musk also spoke in support of Trump. And I'll play a brief snippet of his remarks here
00:31:03.600there. You know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire.
00:31:10.060And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist
00:31:20.340pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight. Blood coming down the face. Now, America is the home
00:31:34.380of the brave. And there's no truer test than courage under fire. So who do you want representing
00:31:45.300America? Yeah, absolutely. And I think this election, I think it's the most important election of our
00:31:57.860lifetime. This is, this is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of
00:32:05.540speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. That they want to, it's where they want to
00:32:13.980take away your right to vote effectively. You got 14 states now that don't require voter ID. California,
00:32:20.860where I used to live, is just, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting.
00:32:30.640So that's, I mean, it's huge that he was there and it's really difficult to overstate the
00:32:35.580significance of this, to have Elon Musk speaking at a Trump rally. And the real significance of a
00:32:42.280moment like this, it's not just that Elon is obviously hugely influential and may sway some people
00:32:47.300to vote for Trump. And that's all true. But the bigger kind of service that Elon is providing here
00:32:52.340is that he's giving cover to other prominent people to come out and support Trump. And, and so I would
00:33:00.900expect over the next few weeks to see, to see more of that because once you have Elon Musk, the richest
00:33:07.940man in the world and one of the most famous men in the world, once you have him giving us, I mean,
00:33:13.120not just saying that he likes Trump, but actually giving a stump speech at a Trump rally. Now it's,
00:33:18.740it's not so scary. It's not so scary anymore. If you're also someone of prominence, especially
00:33:25.340mainstream prominence, it's a little bit less scary for you now to come out and support Trump.
00:33:31.580It feels a little bit less subversive and forbidden because Elon Musk has done it. Now,
00:33:36.440of course, Elon Musk has done it and, and is for this and many other reasons is still excoriated by
00:33:43.060the media. We know all that, but even so it provides a significant amount of cover. And I'm
00:33:51.500always impressed. The fact that Elon is willing to, you could, you could look at this in a cynical
00:33:58.360way and you could say that, well, yeah, he's the, he's the richest man in the world. He's got nothing,
00:34:04.780they can't touch him. He's got nothing to lose. It doesn't take any courage for him to,
00:34:08.280to come out and do the things that he's done. But I don't see it that way. I see it very similar
00:34:14.240to, it's the same thing as I've said about JK Rowling for all my issues I have with her
00:34:18.480ideologically, at least on the trans issue. Yeah, she's a billionaire, but that's exactly why. And
00:34:23.440so you could say she's more equipped to deal with the backlash than other people are. And that's true.
00:34:27.360But also, you know, when you've got that kind of money, you could just as easily, and most people
00:34:34.900with that kind of money do say, Hey, I, I don't need this. Like, why would I go out and put my
00:34:42.480reputation on the line, deal with all the backlash? I don't need to do that. Why would I do that?
00:34:47.340Um, that's what most people in those positions say. So to have all that and say, you know what,
00:34:56.320I'm going to go dive into the middle of this thing and I'm going to invite the enormous headache
00:35:01.460that's going to come with it. I'm going to go from being rich and famous and generally beloved
00:35:09.040and everything is going great and everyone loves me and everything's awesome. And I'm going to make my
00:35:15.060life a lot more complicated right now. I think that most people in that position are not willing
00:35:19.340to do that. So it's a huge credit to JK Rowling and Elon Musk that they're willing to, um, on top
00:35:27.320of everything else, Elon Musk has going on. So also speaking of Elon, the post-millennial has this
00:35:31.400report from a few days ago, uh, in a post on his X platform Sunday, Elon Musk announced plans to
00:35:38.040launch unmanned Mars missions within two years and crude missions within four years. This endeavor,
00:35:43.160which he says is primarily to be funded using revenue from his Starlink satellite internet
00:35:46.780company is a response to what he sees as the fundamental existential question of whether or
00:35:50.960not humanity becomes sustainably multi-planetary before something happens on earth to prevent that.
00:35:56.700In a post tackling philosophical, as well as technological questions, Musk pose the idea
00:36:00.860that the survival of humanity itself depends on being able to get to colonize and thrive on other
00:36:06.040worlds. He wrote quote, SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed starships to Mars in two years.
00:36:11.740If those all land safely, then crude missions are possible in four years.
00:36:16.060If we encounter challenges, then the crude missions will be postponed another two years.
00:36:20.080It's only possible to travel from earth to Mars every two years when the planets are aligned.
00:36:23.760This increases the difficulty of the task, but also serves to immunize Mars from many
00:36:27.940catastrophic events on earth. No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase
00:36:32.480the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity.
00:36:37.140So this is one of the many challenges with going to Mars. The shortest distance between earth and
00:36:42.900Mars is about 30 million miles. And so if you were sending a mission to Mars, it would need to be
00:36:49.660in that window. The longest distance is like 200 million miles, 230 million miles. So obviously you
00:36:59.480can't go then you have to go during the short window. And if you go during the short window, it still
00:37:03.160takes about six months to get there, which is extraordinary amount of time when you think
00:37:07.260about it, especially for, for, for us these days, like in a kind of odd way, traveling to Mars
00:37:13.120in a, in a weird way, it's like, it seems more daunting to us today than it would if you just
00:37:21.580arrived to this time period in a, in a time machine from the year 1820. And what I mean is that for the,
00:37:27.700for the majority of human history, the idea of traveling to a certain location for months and
00:37:32.440months, uh, the concept of measuring travel time in months or years wasn't so foreign. You know,
00:37:39.300that was normal. And obviously they didn't have the technology to go to space back then, but
00:37:42.200the time involved, like the time alone was not unusual. And these days travel is usually measured
00:37:50.220in minutes or hours. Uh, a long trip is one that you measure in a few hours by our standards today.
00:37:57.380Uh, at the most, you might measure it in days, a few days at the absolute most. Like if I were to
00:38:03.380leave where I am right now and go to the farthest possible place on earth from my current location,
00:38:08.080it would take what, like a day, maybe, maybe two days to get there. Um, so when you think about
00:38:14.120traveling for months and months at a time to one destination, it's just mind boggling. And we don't,
00:38:20.820that just doesn't exist. That doesn't exist in the human species anymore. That kind of travel
00:38:25.060length. Um, at least not in the modern world. Uh, and of course the travel time isn't the greatest
00:38:31.920obstacle. You know, there are many other, um, obstacles as well, which is why it's a very good
00:38:37.060thing that we have a multi-billionaire who cares about stuff like this. Um, we certainly can't rely
00:38:41.720on the government to do it anymore. And it'll forever blow my mind that space travel
00:38:48.460is not a relevant political issue, like at all. I mean, presidents and presidential candidates
00:38:56.680never talk about it. Like it doesn't come up. We haven't heard it in a debate. It does. It just
00:39:02.200doesn't come up. It's not even, it's, it's apparently not a topic of interest at all, uh,
00:39:09.600politically, which I think is pretty sad. All right. Daily Wire has this, the Department of
00:39:14.560Agriculture is set to pay $50,000 to encourage children and young adults who identify as
00:39:20.100transgender, lesbian, gay, or bisexual to go on wilderness conservation trips in the Pacific
00:39:25.980Northwest. So the government's not worried about, you know, going to Mars, but they are worried
00:39:31.120about getting more trans and gay people into the forests in Oregon. So we got our priorities
00:39:37.560straight here. The grant, which started in 2022 and runs through 2026, was awarded to the Northwest,
00:39:43.480uh, Youth Corps, a conservation organization based in Eugene, Oregon that works to diversify the outdoors.
00:39:51.720The grant funds, uh, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer inclusion and sound to summit crews in an
00:39:58.600apparent reference to two different programs. The, uh, Northwest Youth Corps explained how it
00:40:03.300intends to diversify the outdoors, adding that a key element in our commitment to diversity, equity,
00:40:07.420inclusion is fielding single identity, affinity crews and internships to support communities
00:40:13.040historically underserved in the outdoor space. This is one of the most bizarre, probably the most
00:40:20.060bizarre iteration of the DEI agenda. This idea that we have to make the outdoors. We have to make nature
00:40:28.600more inclusive of approved victim groups. I mean, listen to the wording here. Communities historically
00:40:37.200underserved in the outdoor space. What the hell does that mean? Underserved by the outdoors?
00:40:46.120What do you mean? There's no better example of the overwhelming narcissism of left-wing identity
00:40:54.840politics than this. Imagine going outside, going out into the woods, and then feeling somehow victimized
00:41:04.120because, because you aren't being served. You aren't being included. Who the hell is supposed to be
00:41:12.100serving you? The, the, the trees? The rocks? Do you want woodland creatures to emerge from the forest and
00:41:23.760start singing you a song? Like, what do you want? What are you? Snow White? Pocahontas? Is that how you
00:41:30.220think this works? You're standing out in the forest looking around. I feel so underserved right now.
00:41:37.880This is how these people see the world. They really see the world this way. This is how they see it.
00:41:44.620They see nature itself as a thing that exists to serve them. That they are entitled to be served and
00:41:52.060included when they walk out into the wilderness. Nature is obligated, duty-bound, to include and welcome
00:42:00.820and serve them. This just, it explains so much about left-wing thinking. And it also explains,
00:42:12.120as I've argued many times, it explains the incredible arrogance behind left-wing environmentalism and
00:42:18.360climate alarmism. This arrogance that masquerades as humility, as, as concern for nature, as even a kind
00:42:25.800of worshiping of nature. But, and I think this is something that the conservatives often get wrong,
00:42:32.440by the way. They talk about environmentalists and say that they're nature worshipers. They're actually
00:42:36.120not. That, in fact, would be really an improvement over what is really happening. Not that we want people
00:42:44.880to be nature worshiping pagans. But it turns out that there are worse things than that. And the worst
00:42:54.080thing is to be what these people are, which is worshipers of the self. Like, they couldn't bring
00:42:59.380themselves to actually worship nature because that would require too much humility. It would require
00:43:04.760kind of a sense of awe at the grandeur of nature, which is, which is really what led primitive pagan
00:43:13.900cultures historically, and even primitive pagan cultures today. It's what led them to become
00:43:19.440pagan. It's why, it's why they worship nature, because they, they looked around at all of these
00:43:24.760amazing things happening and the sun in the sky and these giant trees that are growing. And they saw
00:43:29.820all these things and the wind blowing and these things that they can't control, that are outside of
00:43:33.840their control. And they recognize these things as immense and powerful. And because they did not
00:43:39.680have the fullness of truth of, and they didn't have the Christian faith, they, you know, that led them
00:43:49.840to worship these things that God has made rather than to worship God himself. Again, not, not what we
00:43:56.860would recommend for people today. But my point again is that these, these leftists, these environmentalists,
00:44:03.840are doing something worse than that, that they are actually worshiping themselves. And they believe
00:44:10.480that they have power over nature, that human beings create the weather and have the power to change it
00:44:18.540just by passing laws and regulations. They have this incredibly outsized view of their own importance
00:44:23.760and their own power on a cosmic scale. This is what separates the self-proclaimed liberal environmentalist
00:44:31.480and supposed nature lover. You know, the kind of liberal who would even put nature lover on their,
00:44:38.000whatever, their dating profile. They say, oh, nature lover, I love going for hikes. It's like, yeah,
00:44:42.920first of all, you've never been on a hike, actually. You went for a walk in the woods
00:44:46.620for 30 minutes, okay? You don't, that's not a hike.
00:44:50.240Um, and it separates them from the conservative who actually loves nature, but doesn't go around
00:45:01.200declaring it and certainly wouldn't call themselves an environmentalist. The difference is that the
00:45:06.000conservative who loves nature, and I'm one of them, by the way, uh, we love it because we appreciate it
00:45:12.640for what it is. We have a healthy respect for it. We don't idolize it. We don't put it on a pedestal,
00:45:17.200but we also don't try to put ourselves on a pedestal in relation to it. We understand that
00:45:21.540nature is beautiful and, um, uh, majestic and awe-inspiring, uh, but also brutal and terrifying
00:45:28.660and utterly indifferent to us and our wants and needs and desires. That, that's the difference.
00:45:37.860Now, God is not indifferent to us, but nature itself, when you're walking around the woods,
00:45:42.180like, the woods are indifferent to you. They don't care. Um, the sun is indifferent to you.
00:45:47.880It doesn't care. And this is what they don't understand. I'm, I'm very certain that I spend
00:45:55.400more time in nature, quote unquote, than the vast majority of liberals who call themselves
00:46:01.360environmentalists. Um, I love nothing more than go out on a lake, spend all day there, uh,
00:46:08.040surrounded by water and trees and, you know, listening to the sounds of the bugs and the
00:46:12.680birds and the loons on the water. Uh, we're raising our children the same way. My son has a whole
00:46:17.040campsite set up on our property, uh, where he spends hours there each day practicing with his bow and
00:46:24.280cutting firewood and working on a shelter and all that stuff. And yet I'm not raising him to be an
00:46:32.000environmentalist and I'm not one of those either. I don't, I'm not going to identify myself that way.
00:46:36.800Um, but I have a, as many conservatives do, a healthy respect for nature that these people don't
00:46:44.200have. Um, and you know, your mind just really can't be emphasized enough. You're, you, your mind
00:46:52.820must be so overwhelmed by narcissism. You must have succumbed to it to such a hopeless degree
00:46:59.380if you could walk out into nature and rather than being awestruck by its beauty, instead start
00:47:08.420thinking about all of the things that you're entitled to. Like it shouldn't even be possible
00:47:15.140to have that kind of, if you're looking out over a mountain range or something, if you have a, if you
00:47:21.460have a healthy mentality, it should just be, you should just be caught up in the beauty of it
00:47:25.940and understanding how small and helpless you are in comparison with this vast, powerful thing.
00:47:34.080But yeah, you have these liberals that can look at that and all they're thinking about is,
00:47:37.260I don't, I don't feel included. Include me mountains.
00:47:44.160It's just, it's crazy. You know, I'm always on the lookout for ways to save time in my day,
00:47:49.000such as a mobile ordering my coffee so I can skip the line of sleep deprived zombies,
00:47:53.520because let's face it, time is money and I'd rather spend mine doing something productive
00:47:57.100or at least entertaining. Now, if you're running a business, you know that being able to work on
00:48:01.880your own schedule is crucial, but there's one time sucking task. You can throw a wrench in your

00:49:38.880cancellation. We began the show talking about Kamala Harris and I am loathe to end the show also talking
00:49:51.120about Kamala Harris but that's the situation we find ourselves in except I'm going to do something
00:49:56.300different this time around something unprecedented at least for me. I'm going to defend her. There are
00:50:01.940many valid reasons to criticize Kamala. She's incompetent, unfit for office, dishonest, morally corrupt,
00:50:06.620never accomplished anything and so on. All of that might be true but I'm all about fairness on this
00:50:11.340show and in fairness I think it must be said that Kamala doesn't get enough credit for her eloquence.
00:50:17.060In fact she's she's accused of being ineloquent even incoherent most of the time and I think the
00:50:22.140people who make such accusations are being you know frankly intentionally obtuse. They can understand
00:50:28.000what Kamala is saying they just pretend that they can't and today I want to talk about a specific
00:50:32.340example. So this past weekend Kamala sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes.
00:50:35.760During the course of that conversation she was asked about the situation in the Middle East.
00:50:41.560Her response has now gone viral on social media for all the wrong reasons. Many people are claiming
00:50:46.100that in response to the question she served up a heaping portion of word salad one so confused and
00:50:52.540disjointed unwieldy that it's it's shocking even by her standards. Now I'm going to play the longer
00:50:58.040version of this clip so you get the full context. The alleged word salad comes in the last 20 seconds
00:51:03.480um but here's the whole thing. Listen. Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?
00:51:13.820The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that
00:51:21.740were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel. And when we think about the threat that
00:51:31.000Hamas Hezbollah presents Iran I think that it is without any question our imperative to do what we can to
00:51:40.780allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now the work that we do diplomatically
00:51:45.820with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles which include
00:51:54.720the need for humanitarian aid the need for this war to end the need for a deal to be done which would
00:52:03.200release the hostages and and and create a ceasefire. And we're not going to stop in terms of putting
00:52:09.600that pressure on Israel and in the region including Arab leaders. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is
00:52:16.800not listening. Well Bill the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region
00:52:28.640by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to
00:52:38.960happen in the region. So that's about a 40 word sentence which is rather long by the standards of the English language. No punctuation in that sentence either. But keep something in mind. Some of the great things that
00:52:54.800Cormac McCarthy for instance were known for their epically long sentences and sparse use of punctuation. Cormac McCarthy was a brilliant eloquent and lyrical writer. Which are all adjectives that some people might use to
00:53:24.720describe Kamala Harris. I've never known anyone who would describe her that way. But some people might. Now Kamala's critics are pretending that they can't understand what she was trying to say there at the end. But I think they're being really unfair. And I'll prove it. So let's break this down. Okay. You weren't expecting this. But this is a this is gonna be a full a full defense in depth defense of of Kamala Harris piece by piece. So she begins
00:53:54.400The work that the work that we have done. What kind of work? Well it doesn't matter. The work. Some sort of work. And we are doing work aren't we? Can you deny that we whoever we are in this context are doing work? The definition of work is activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. So we're all doing work of some kind every second of the day arguably when you walk down the steps you're doing work. When you eat lunch you're doing work. We're always doing work.
00:54:22.400Doing work. We're rarely not doing work. And you know and that's the point that Kamala is making here. She continues the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements. Again her critics will be disingenuous and demand to know what kind of work and what kind of movements. They're getting hung up on technicalities. The fact is that we are doing work as we just established. And there are movements that are happening. Would you deny that? Would you look at the situation in the Middle East and tell me that things aren't moving? No you wouldn't.
00:54:51.900So I mean so don't criticize Kamala here. She's 100% right. Things are moving. Movements are moving. Movements are moving and they're creating more movements which are also moving and in the end resulting in additional movements.
00:55:06.300And that's what Kamala is getting at in I think in this next portion of the sentence which says movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or result of many things.
00:55:16.540Now this is brilliant and undeniably accurate yet again. The movements were prompted by or a result of. Now if something is prompted by something else then it is by definition a result of that thing.
00:55:31.100So isn't it redundant to use both words. Yes but it's not untrue. That's the point. Kamala likes to use two or three words. Sometimes four words in a row that all mean the same thing.
00:55:41.620And you can call it redundancy. I like to call it verbal generosity. She's providing us with many words. Many more words than we need.
00:55:51.120And so you can kind of take your pick of the word that you like. And we have a word surplus now. And that's never a bad thing especially in this economy.
00:56:00.400Prompted by, she says, or a result of many things. Okay. So these things that happened were themselves a result of many things.
00:56:12.620What kind of things? Many. Many things. Again, who could deny the truth of this statement?
00:56:19.420Who could look me in the eye with a straight face and tell me that there are not many things happening in the Middle East.
00:56:24.500Which were all caused by other things that also happened.
00:56:28.220So, like, what's the alternative? Are you seriously going to tell me that there aren't many things occurring?
00:56:35.600Like, all the people that are laughing at this alleged word salad, what are you trying to say?
00:56:39.060Are you going to claim that there's, what, there's only one thing happening? Or no things?
00:56:45.840Don't be ridiculous. You're sitting over there judging Kamala Harris for her alleged lack of coherence.
00:56:50.520While at the same time, you're pretending that there aren't many things causing many other things to happen at this exact moment.
00:56:56.160So you're being a hypocrite. You should be ashamed.
00:56:58.820And now we get to the grand finale of this sentence.
00:57:01.700It all culminates in this, what I think really is a stunning rhetorical flourish.
00:58:52.460And frankly, few, if not none, of the not good things.
00:58:57.480So her point is that if we do all the good things that we should do, then that will result in many other things which are also good and which will themselves result in many other things that have been prompted by the things before them which they are the results of.
