00:05:31.540She is the worst of that bunch in both cases, but not the first.
00:05:35.180She is, however, the first person in the history of American politics to have been awarded a major party presidential nomination purely because she checks the necessary demographic boxes
00:05:47.980and without a single vote being cast in her favor.
00:05:51.520The first one who is just put in that position, totally unqualified, and did not earn it at all.
00:06:01.240So calling her a DEI candidate, it's not a slur, or at least if it is a slur, it happens to be an accurate one.
00:06:07.600You know, we came up with the idea for Am I Racist all the way back in the fall of 2022, shortly after my first film, What is a Woman?, was released.
00:06:14.340And we had no way of knowing back then or at any point during the 18 months, about 18 months of filming, that our cinematic broadside against the DEI scam would land right before an election featuring our first DEI candidate.
00:06:30.880We thought at the time that it would be an election featuring our first fully comatose candidate in Joe Biden.
00:06:37.720Instead, we have one who's only partially comatose in Kamala Harris.
00:06:40.940But then Biden, of course, as you remember, was sacked just a few weeks after we finished post-production on the film.
00:06:50.260And pretty soon it became obvious that Am I Racist was more relevant and more timely than we ever anticipated it would be.
00:06:58.600And at the time, it reminded us of that moment in March of 2022 when Marsha Blackburn famously asked Kintanji Brown Jackson to define the word woman,
00:07:08.940the soon-to-be Supreme Court justice infamously responded that she's not a biologist and therefore cannot answer a question that any halfway literate third grader could answer.
00:07:17.960That moment propelled the What is a Woman? question into the headlines.
00:07:21.060And as it happened back then, we had just wrapped post-production on a movie with that question as its title.
00:07:26.920Now, at the risk of sounding too self-serious, I don't think that these are mere fortunate coincidences for the film.
00:07:36.780I believe that in both cases, we made the films that God wanted us to make, and they were unleashed on the world right when they needed to be.
00:07:46.380Filming Am I Racist was a longer and more painful process than I imagined it would be at the start.
00:07:53.820The thing about a creative project that takes a long while to finish is that you have plenty of time, way too much time, to second-guess yourself while you're making it.
00:08:02.280And eventually, you start to wonder why you ever took on the project to begin with.
00:08:05.300To be honest, I've written three books and made two movies, and the why did I ever decide to do this phase seems to just be an inevitable part of the creative process, I guess.
00:08:15.420But with this film and the last one, the answer to the why question became very clear once it was finished and released.
00:08:22.820Am I Racist is exposing a type of evil that has now been made manifest politically in the candidacy of Kamala Harris.
00:08:31.440And she is just one manifestation, however dire and dangerous.
00:08:34.960Left-wing racial ideology has wreaked havoc on society much more broadly than this one person.
00:08:40.220It's an evil that not only deserves to be mocked, but must be mocked ruthlessly and mercilessly, as we do in the film.
00:08:48.760That's why I'm glad that the movie is hitting streaming on the Daily Wire today, a week before the election, because now is the best possible time to confront this madness for what it is, and laugh hysterically at it.
00:09:00.980The second point is that the larger fight isn't just about DEI or race or even the election.
00:09:09.760This, as we are constantly saying, this is a fight for the culture.
00:09:19.180You know, it's all the values and beliefs and traditions and customs and characteristics that define us as a nation.
00:09:25.340That's why I have no patience for people, especially conservatives.
00:09:28.060And you do hear this, you hear this from conservatives sometimes who kind of roll their eyes and wave away the quote unquote culture war as some kind of irrelevant sideshow.
00:09:43.820It's the fight over who we are and who we will be.
00:09:47.520What could possibly be more important than that?
00:09:50.940Our culture is nothing less than, you know, the stuff that our country is made of.
00:09:56.560So the culture matters for the same reason that the air you're breathing right now matters.
00:10:02.960And culture is shaped and influenced by many things, but not by any one thing so much as art, movies, TV shows, music, entertainment.
00:10:10.780You cannot fight for the culture if you aren't fighting in that realm.
00:10:15.600And that's why we took on the significant expense and risk of making Am I Racist and even putting it in theaters before the platform released today.
00:10:22.580It's also why, in making the film, our number one rule that we set for ourselves during the production is that it had to be funny, it had to be entertaining, and it had to tell a story.
00:10:34.580We put that ahead, actually, of the message, ahead of the desire to inform, although we had a message and we wanted to inform the audience.
00:10:42.560We put it ahead of all that because this needed to be a real film, not a sermon wearing the thin cloak of a film.
00:10:49.600It needed to be a film that people watch and enjoy, enjoy because they enjoy it, not because they think they should enjoy it, or because they think that it's their responsibility to enjoy it, or because they enjoy the idea of it, even if they don't enjoy the actual thing all that much.
00:11:02.680That's how conservative art has worked for many years, and for that reason, conservative art has had basically no cultural impact for years.
00:11:12.440It just hasn't mattered, and we wanted to help change that.
00:11:16.960That was the ambition that drove us to make this movie and to make it the way we made it.
00:11:22.200It's also what drives all of us here at The Daily Wire every day.
00:11:28.340It's the only thing we care about, and we can't do it without you.
00:11:31.260So go to dailywire.com, get your membership if you haven't yet, and watch Am I Racist, which you can do right now, or maybe after the show at least, and then stick around for what's next, because one way or another, the fight is truly just beginning.

00:13:51.740I don't think I need to play more because, well, first of all, like everybody in the country has already listened to this episode, apparently.
00:13:57.660But I did enjoy this little moment on The Rogan Show.
00:14:56.780One of the beautiful things about you is that you free ball.
00:15:00.100Like you get out and you do these huge events and you're just talking and you're making fun.
00:15:04.840We've highlighted you on the show many times when you did this Biden impression where he's walking around and he doesn't know what he's doing.
00:15:31.640I do think it's probably the presidential history there.
00:15:34.440I think it's – I mean I don't know this, but it's probably the first time in American history that somebody has used the term free ball while talking to a presidential candidate.
00:15:48.080Probably the first time that those two terms have been used in a conversation with a presidential candidate.
00:15:53.080So he said that Trump got a lot of attention, ultimately one, because he said a lot of wild stuff and the media covered it constantly.
00:16:01.260Now, I don't think that most of what Trump has said is actually all that wild.
00:16:04.360And Joe didn't mean it as an insult, obviously.
00:16:06.160But there is a strategy there that – and we'll get back to that in a moment actually.
00:16:11.120The point for now is that Trump has done something here that Kamala Harris just could never do.
00:16:16.120And Joe Rogan said in that interview with Trump that Kamala was supposed to do the show, I guess was supposed to have already done it, but she didn't show up, Joe said.
00:16:27.540Of course she didn't because she's completely incapable of sitting down and talking on camera in a forum like that for three hours or even one hour.
00:16:34.820And now she definitely can't do it because if she does it now, then she has to go the full three hours because that's what Trump did.
00:16:39.860And that's just not going to happen because it's not possible to stay on script for that long in that kind of environment.
00:16:47.840And Kamala is so fraudulent and so fundamentally hollow and empty that she can't have an unscripted conversation without all kinds of guardrails and rules put in place ahead of time.
00:16:57.520And unfortunately for Kamala, this is – it's just really – it's the worst possible timing for her because she happens to be running against the most unscripted politician in American history.
00:17:07.120She's the most scripted going against the most unscripted, and it's not a favorable contrast to her.
00:17:14.480And in that way, you know, Trump has really changed the game here.
00:17:17.860I mean, obviously he's changed it in many ways, but this is one of them, and I think it's a very positive way, that he's changed our expectation for political candidates.
00:17:27.660Because now we expect them to be real people, to be able to sit down and have a normal conversation.
00:17:47.620You know, you go back to before the modern era, before modern media and the internet and everything else and cable news.
00:17:52.760And politicians were serious, thoughtful people back then, capable of having long conversations, you know.
00:18:02.320But then modern media came along and cable news, and it meant that these people would be in front of our faces all the time, but only for brief moments.
00:18:12.480And that gave rise to the talking point politician, the soundbite politician, the politician who speaks in 45-second soundbites, tailor-made for cable news and internet clips, but can't speak beyond that.
00:18:24.540And the vacuous halfwits like Kamala Harris have just thrived in that environment.
00:18:38.980He'll give 90-minute unscripted speeches.
00:18:41.160And so he's changed our expectations again.
00:18:45.740And so we're going into kind of this third phase of politicians in America, where now you need to be able to get attention, get coverage, generate media as Trump does, and all of that.
00:18:55.920But you also need to be real and authentic and unguarded.
00:18:59.200I think the age of the soundbite politician is coming to an end.
00:19:04.200And a lot of the current political class is in trouble because that's all they have.
00:19:09.020All they have are the soundbites, and that's certainly the case for Kamala.
00:21:00.100So let's go through some of the – basically, it seems like there were three jokes, basically, that were apparently the most offensive to people and that are getting a lot of the attention.
00:21:10.240First, there was this one about Puerto Rico.
00:21:43.040The media is very, very angry about it.
00:21:44.900The same media that calls all white conservatives Nazis, the same media that has repeatedly claimed that this very rally was a Nazi rally, which means all the audience members who are also Nazis, that media is deeply offended.
00:25:55.580Because these are the kinds of jokes that normal people tell.
00:25:59.620It's like, in a normal environment, if somebody made any of those comments, you know, in your living room or something, nobody would start crying about it.
00:29:46.060We are so happy to be standing here on this stage as proud country, Texas women, supporting and celebrating the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:30:10.840A woman who's been pushing for what this country really needs right now, unity.
00:30:20.700It's impossible not to feel the energy in this room, the positivity, the community, the humanity.
00:30:31.940We are at the precipice of an incredible shift, the brink of history.
00:32:38.580They're not, I mean, you know, Beyonce sucks.
00:32:40.760But if you're a Beyonce fan and all you get is a quick speech and then 45 minutes of Kamala Harris, like that has to be a letdown.
00:32:48.480It's like if you, you know, imagine if a restaurant advertised that, I don't know, that Gordon Ramsay would be in the kitchen on Friday nights.
00:32:57.320And, you know, and so you go and make reservations and you sit down and they bring the meal out.
00:33:04.140And it's some soggy, disgusting cheeseburger.
00:33:06.580And you're like, Gordon Ramsay made this?
00:33:09.020And they say, oh, no, he's not cooking.
00:33:11.000He just, he was just in the kitchen for a few minutes.
00:33:13.220He gave a speech to the kitchen staff and then left.
00:33:17.420That, you know, it's sort of like that.
00:33:24.580I mean, why not just have Beyonce perform?
00:33:26.460Well, I mean, the first part is obvious.
00:33:27.860They lied about her performing because that was the only way to fill out the stadium.
00:33:32.120They needed to have a big stadium to try and counteract both the Rogan interview and, you know, that got like 20 million views in an hour on YouTube.
00:33:39.860And the MSG event later that weekend, the only way to do that was to claim that some big pop star was performing because nobody gives a damn about Kamala Harris.
00:33:50.140But then why didn't Beyonce actually perform?
00:33:54.140Well, I can only assume it's because she hates Kamala Harris.
00:33:58.480Like, that's an underrated fact through this whole campaign season is that Kamala is hated by everybody, including her own side.
00:34:11.220The celebrities endorsing her hate her.
00:34:14.700And Beyonce hates her so much that she wouldn't even perform at the rally.
00:34:17.340And, you know, so you could kind of see what Beyonce's thought process was, that she felt like she had to at least endorse Kamala and speak at the rally because she performed for Hillary.
00:34:28.500She couldn't get away with doing nothing at all for Kamala, who's not only a female candidate, but a non-white female candidate.
00:35:32.700I mean, she's just so she's so bad at this.
00:35:39.380She's so bad at this and nobody on her team is apparently telling her that none of them have the have the cojones to tell her to stop doing this.
00:38:24.520You know, I thought it would be boring to watch some old guy play a video game, but I'm impressed.
00:38:29.000I have to say that it's even more boring than I imagined.
00:38:31.940You know, if you're going to do this, then if you're doing the Twitch stream to appeal to young voters, that young male voters, you know, it's pretty obvious.
00:38:42.380Again, trying to counter program Trump and on Rogan and all that.
00:38:47.080Well, if you're going to do it, then you need to have some lively, funny, casual banter.
00:38:51.360However, it can't just be your normal CNN talking points that you're regurgitating while you play a video game.
00:41:19.880You are a weird old man, best known for distributing tampons to underage boys.
00:41:29.240Elon Musk, on the other hand, is literally building interplanetary rockets.
00:41:35.120OK, and I think there's a general rule of thumb here, which is that if someone builds, like even if you build just one rocket, OK, one rocket, let alone a whole fleet of rockets.
00:41:45.900But if you build just one rocket, you are forever and always immune from any charges of being a dick.
00:43:27.360That's a comedy that now is the number one grossing documentary of the decade.
00:43:31.620It's just dropped exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:43:34.520And if you thought what you saw in theaters was the whole show, we have a surprise for you.
00:43:38.440Daily Wire Plus members get the good stuff.
00:43:40.300The deleted scene you won't find anywhere else.
00:43:42.660Plus, exclusive extras where I break down step-by-step exactly how I pulled off what has been called the greatest troll in history against the left.
00:43:50.220Talking about full behind-the-scenes footage showing how we brought this box office hit comedy to life.
00:43:55.020If you're not a Daily Wire Plus member, now's the time.
00:44:25.020Just before the 2012 presidential election, Michelle Obama spoke at her husband's final political rally of the campaign, which took place in Des Moines, Iowa.
00:44:34.460Now, no one ever paid any attention to this speech because it was full of the usual platitudes you'd expect.
00:44:38.620But in retrospect, when you compare the Michelle Obama from 2012 to the Michelle Obama of today, there are a few things worth noticing about it.
00:44:46.900First of all, in 2012, Michelle Obama wasn't anywhere near as angry as she is today.
00:44:51.320In her 10-minute speech in Des Moines, she laughed it up with Bruce Springsteen.
00:44:54.500She said she was thrilled to be there, repeatedly told the crowd how much she loved them.
00:44:59.000She reminisced about the house parties in Sioux City, all the kindness and warmth on the campaign trail, how funny it was to see Barack Obama's face carved in butter at the fairgrounds, etc., etc.
00:45:10.300She also didn't attack any particular demographic group or demand anything from any particular demographic group.
00:45:16.360Instead, she said that, quote, every single one of us deserves a shot at the, quote, American dream, regardless of skin color or gender.
00:45:22.160Again, not exactly earth-shattering stuff.
00:45:24.940And she didn't actually mean any of it, obviously.
00:45:26.900Throughout its eight years in power, the Obama administration did everything it could to divide Americans on the basis of race while making middle-class families poorer.
00:45:34.080But a decade ago, Michelle Obama was able to pretend otherwise, at least in the final days of the campaign.
00:45:40.240She was able to pretend that she was happy to be on the campaign trail and working to help all Americans, etc., etc.
00:45:48.900And the Michelle Obama of 2024 is nothing like that.
00:45:52.700Instead, right now, Michelle Obama is very angry and disappointed.
00:45:57.280And just like her husband, she's incapable of hiding it.
00:46:00.520At a speech in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday, Michelle didn't even try to deliver a message that will appeal to every American.
00:46:06.900Instead, she told men that nothing they care about actually matters.
00:46:11.380It doesn't matter if they're fed up about the economy or crime or anything like that.
00:46:15.660All men should care about, according to Michelle, is advancing the interests of women, specifically liberal women.
00:46:22.580So this is at least a more honest Michelle than we're used to.
00:46:26.160Her goal is to divide Americans, and because she's furious that Donald Trump might win again, she's not even hiding it.
00:46:33.120But before I go any further, I want to begin on a positive note.
00:46:36.600In her speech, Michelle did something that all Democrats do when they're accidentally being honest,
00:46:42.160which is that she completely forgot all about the trans ideology nonsense.
00:46:47.420When Michelle talked about advancing the interests of women,
00:46:50.320she made it clear that she's talking about adult human females.
00:46:53.540She's talking about people with female reproductive organs.
