It took until Friday, but we have got the feel-good story of the week.
00:00:04.680
As crime surges around the country, a poor little old grandmother was about to get into her car
00:00:10.920
to drive to a chemotherapy appointment when a teenage criminal accosted her,
00:00:16.460
threatened her with a gun, and tried to steal her car. That's not the feel-good part. That
00:00:21.140
is obviously all terrible. What makes this the feel-good story of the week is what happened next.
00:00:27.180
Next thing I know, he walked up talking about, give me your keys, I got a gun.
00:00:32.700
I said, baby, you better shoot me because you're not taking my car today. He pushed me to the door
00:00:37.360
and I got up and I grabbed him and was hitting his ass and hitting him and fighting him. And I said,
00:00:43.140
you're not going to take my car to the young man. Grandma said when she screamed, a grandson and
00:00:47.440
neighbors came running. And they all came out to help me and he ran across the street and that's
00:00:52.240
when they caught him. So the neighbors caught him? Yes. Yes. They caught him. And I said,
00:00:58.340
oh, you're going to jail today. Police came. Grandma showed us the scar from the teen snatching her
00:01:03.800
keys. The police report said the would-be carjacker left in an ambulance. Grandma said she's told he's
00:01:10.780
now in lockup. On 22nd Street, he must didn't know where he was.
00:01:14.900
He didn't know where he was. That's what makes this story so beautiful. It's not just that the
00:01:22.620
grandmother got to keep her car and make her chemotherapy appointment. It's not just that
00:01:28.720
this would-be carjacker is now in the clink. It's not even just that the grandson and the neighbors
00:01:35.340
who beat the little thug to within an inch of his life taught him a lesson he will not soon forget,
00:01:40.200
that they got to go on with their day while the punk was hauled off in an ambulance.
00:01:45.040
What is most beautiful about this story is that everybody got to see what community looks like.
00:01:54.420
He didn't know where he was. This would-be criminal was not just in some undifferentiated city,
00:02:03.280
as so many of us increasingly are, where anonymous individuals fend for themselves
00:02:09.080
with no ties to one another. He was in a neighborhood. He was in a community. And in a
00:02:16.380
community, people know each other. In a community, everybody has a role. Everybody has a place.
00:02:23.500
People trust one another. People look out for one another. And as a result, they are able to defend
00:02:29.300
themselves against predators who wish to do them harm. We used to have a lot of community here in the
00:02:35.140
United States. Less and less every single day. Maybe we could learn a lesson from this grandmother
00:02:40.500

00:04:24.820
Sam Brinton is the former nuclear waste appointee in the Biden administration. He's the guy who's
00:04:31.600
a bald-headed mustachioed dude who frequently dresses up as a woman who flaunts his leather
00:04:38.880
puppy fetish. He likes to dress men up as dogs in all sorts of leather and then do weird sexual
00:04:45.240
things to them. And he likes to wear lipstick and flowing dresses and high heels. And he was
00:04:50.360
fetid by the media. They absolutely loved this guy, how groundbreaking. He's a transgender,
00:04:55.560
pangender, whatever gender, cracking the glass ceiling. And he looks so stunning. He's so brave.
00:05:01.740
Look at his beautiful clothing. Then it turned out that this guy, Sam Brinton, is a thief.
00:05:07.480
He got caught stealing luggage at an airport. And initially he said, oh, this was just a mistake.
00:05:13.040
I took the wrong bag. And it turned out he's taken other bags before. Then they had camera footage of
00:05:17.640
him actually looking at the name tags on the bags and hiding them in his pocket, just going away.
00:05:22.720
And it was really, really weird. Finally, after weeks and weeks of this, it was too much,
00:05:27.700
even for the Biden administration. And so they canned the guy. Now we find out
00:05:32.020
that some of those flowing dresses, those big, beautiful wardrobe pieces that Sam Brinton was
00:05:38.740
photographed in, including in Vanity Fair, by the way, in fashion magazines, in high culture.
00:05:44.980
It turns out that they were stolen from specific women. There's a woman who posted on Instagram.
00:05:53.300
She said, hi, I'm a fashion designer. This is a custom piece that I had made. And here's Sam Brinton
00:06:00.440
wearing that piece. And I lost my luggage in 2018. And I'm not saying for sure it was him,
00:06:05.180
but it's hard to explain how he ended up wearing my dress if he didn't steal my luggage. So this
00:06:10.300
appears to have been going on for years. There were other people who came forward and said,
00:06:17.360
here's me wearing this unique sort of custom piece. And then you look later on and here's Sam
00:06:25.020
Brinton wearing it shortly after I lost it. And he's being photographed by the media doing the very
00:06:29.680
same thing, making it into magazines. So what is this about? Is this because Sam Brinton couldn't
00:06:35.960
afford clothing? I suppose he probably couldn't afford the high-end clothing that he'd like to
00:06:39.720
steal. But I think it's about more than that. People can generally purchase clothing. You can go to
00:06:45.880
any inexpensive shop today and buy any kind of flamboyant clothing. This was obviously some weird
00:06:51.340
fetish for this guy. He's a guy who is most well known, not for his career, not for his knowledge
00:06:59.640
of nuclear waste, not for any virtue or excellence that he's engaged in. He's most well known for
00:07:06.760
indulging weird fetishes. And it would seem that stealing women's clothing at the airport
00:07:10.320
was part of that. And it's just a sad lesson that this guy had a lot of things going for him. I'm not
00:07:19.040
going to say he had everything going for him, but he had a lot of things going for him. He was in an
00:07:21.800
important role in a presidential administration. He had impressive academic degrees. I think he went
00:07:26.740
to MIT. But he just couldn't get over this problem that he had, this weird, disordered desire.
00:07:35.780
Actually, many weird, disordered desires. And those weird, disordered desires ended up being his undoing.
00:07:42.000
And the thing you always ask people when they get their comeuppance is, was it worth it?
00:07:49.040
Was it worth it? The guy who loses his family because he slept with his secretary, was it worth
00:07:53.660
it? You ask the guys, was it worth it? They always say no. You ask Sam Brinton, you lost your job in a
00:07:58.460
presidential administration. You're now effectively unemployable, certainly at that height of your
00:08:03.540
profession. Was it worth it so that you could wear some weird red dress that you took from the airport?
00:08:09.320
I assume he would say no. Is it worth it to become a laughingstock internationally so that you can
00:08:16.820
lead another depraved man around on a leash and a leather collar? Was that really worth it just so
00:08:21.680
that you could be physically titillated for five minutes or whatever? No, but these people can't
00:08:27.300
escape it. This is a real danger. It's this joke that Drew tells, Drew Klavan tells about the guy
00:08:33.520
with an orange for a head. The short version of the joke is guy walks into a bar, he's got an orange
00:08:37.240
for a head. The bartender says, okay, I got to ask, what's going on? He says, all right, well,
00:08:41.500
you're not going to believe it. But I was on a beach. I find a little genie bottle.
00:08:45.320
I rub the bottle. A genie comes out, says, I give you three wishes. I said, I don't believe that.
00:08:48.860
He says, no, I do. Try it. He says, okay, first wish, I want a million dollars. Knock, knock, knock
00:08:52.820
on the door. Pat say, Jack, here's a check for a million dollars. Okay. Second wish, I want to
00:08:58.380
sleep with all the Playboy bunnies of the year. Knock, knock, knock. It's all the Playboy bunnies
00:09:02.260
of the year. They walk up. Isn't that unbelievable? Bartender says, okay, I get it. But how'd you end up
00:09:09.180
with the orange? He said, well, here's where I think I messed up. For my third wish, I asked to have an
00:09:12.860
orange for a head. And half the people think this joke is hilarious. And half the people have no idea
00:09:19.260
what the joke is about. The joke is about the perversity of the human heart and how these little
00:09:25.000
weird, bizarre, shameful perversions can be people's undoing. Sam Brinton was not the only
00:09:31.800
guy who dressed in weird, vaguely satanic, sometimes not so vaguely satanic ways in the Biden
00:09:38.240
administration. You remember the deputy chief of the monkeypox response, Demetrius something or other,
00:09:45.720
was this guy who photographed himself, flaunted himself, wearing all sorts of satanic imagery.
00:09:54.200
Not just leather and whips and chains, pentagrams on his chest, a pentagram leather harness on top of
00:10:00.740
a pentagram tattoo that the guy put on his chest. You think, what is it with this? Why is it that we're
00:10:06.860
watching the Grammys and Sam Smith is dancing around like a kind of millennial lesbian Satan figure,
00:10:13.880
dancing and jiggling around with all these kind of demonic looking transsexuals around him?
00:10:17.980
Everybody's applauding. The first lady of the United States is in the audience applauding.
00:10:22.820
Why do we see all of this imagery? Why are the liberals in New York raising an actual demon statue
00:10:29.020
on top of a courthouse in Madison Square? Why are they doing that? What is it about this imagery?
00:10:35.560
And then yesterday, I see on the cover of Vogue Italy, Giselle Bundchen. Giselle,
00:10:41.180
the former Mrs. Brady. She's just divorced Tom Brady. Giselle Bundchen, considered one of the
00:10:47.200
most beautiful women in the world. And look at this picture, she's unrecognizable.
00:10:51.340
And what is the picture of? It's her in all red, and her skin is colored all white, just white as a
00:10:58.460
corpse, and red all over her lips. Her hair is dyed bright red, fiery red, as it's being described in
00:11:04.500
articles. Really, really dark around the eyes, fiery red eyebrows. And then if you look at her
00:11:13.360
head, you realize her head is placed right between the O and the G, so that you have an almost
00:11:19.060
perfectly symmetrical lines coming from the O and the G that are in the placement of and in the shape
00:11:24.780
of horns. And then you look at her arms and her hand placement, and her arms and her hand placement
00:11:29.200
are in this very strange way. Her right arm is pointed up. Her hands are in this, her fingers are in
00:11:33.360
this kind of odd direction. And then her left hand is pointed to the side, not quite down, but certainly
00:11:37.860
further down than the right arm. And I don't think I'm going too far down the rabbit hole here to say
00:11:45.000
this is a demonic pose. Everything about, and not just, it's demonic in a pretty identifiable way
00:11:54.040
with one of the most famous depictions of a demon. That would be Eliphas Levi's drawing of Baphomet.
00:11:59.500
Many people have seen it. It's probably the most well-known occult image. And it's of this demon with
00:12:07.720
horns coming out of his head in the same shape and with wings behind him that are, that we see mirrored
00:12:15.540
on this red dress that Giselle Bündchen is wearing because the dress has these kind of wings that come
00:12:19.620
out of it. The arms are in not exactly the same position, but a very similar position, almost the same.
00:12:24.000
The picture of Baphomet is a kind of transgender picture. It's of a goat head and then breasts,
00:12:29.900
a woman's torso, and then a male rest of the body. I made the point that Media Matters made fun of me
00:12:35.220
four weeks ago, but my publicists were really helpful, I think, in putting this out there
00:12:39.560
because it was obviously a true observation that many traditional depictions of the demonic are
00:12:44.900
androgynous and sort of trans. And the question that you got to ask yourself, even if you think all
00:12:49.660
this is really bizarre and you're not religious and you don't believe in any of this stuff is,
00:12:53.180
okay, let's say, let's just pretend for a second, God doesn't exist. There's no such thing as good
00:12:58.720
or evil. The devil doesn't exist. Okay, let's pretend all of that. Why do all these people dress
00:13:04.740
this way? Why do all these people in positions of power accepted by the liberal culture, why do they
00:13:09.960
all use the exact same symbolism, which is ancient symbolism, which is for the devil? It's kind of weird.
00:13:18.420
Even if you don't believe in any of this, you never go to church, you got to at least notice
00:13:23.400
that strange coincidence that all of these people who are enthralled to the powers and principalities
00:13:31.240
of this world, they all use the same images. It all looks like demons. I'm like the guy on the
00:13:36.440
History Channel. There's that guy who, when he's trying to explain seemingly inexplicable phenomena
00:13:41.340
that are a little bit off, he'll say, well, it's aliens. It's kind of like that now for me,
00:13:47.240
except it's demons, is what it is. Now, when you want to protect your body, you got to check

00:13:58.640
Have you gone to the grocery store and not been able to find something as simple as eggs?
00:14:03.740
Just no eggs there in the grocery store, like happened to Sweet Little Elise a couple weeks
00:14:07.360
ago? Then maybe you go back, you do find them. They're almost $9 per dozen. There are shortages.
00:14:13.160
You should be concerned. Shortages don't just happen during crises like global pandemics or
00:14:17.980
natural disasters. They are happening every day. They seem to be happening more and more every day.
00:14:22.560
You need to be prepared for them. A great way to start preparing is with the Jace case

00:15:01.540
which is the greatest trick the devil ever played is to convince us that he doesn't exist.
00:15:05.540
I think that might be old. I think that might be over. That was true. It was true for the
00:15:14.660
scientific post-enlightenment era. I think the exact quote, it's in French, but a good translation
00:15:21.040
is the finest trick the devil played is to convince you he doesn't exist. That is what
00:15:28.340
happened for the last 300 years. Before the last 300 years, everybody thought the devil exists in
00:15:33.860
every culture on earth for all of human history. For the last 300 years, the devil kind of went into
00:15:38.400
hiding. Why did the devil go into hiding? Well, because scientism accomplished his goals, I think,
00:15:45.420
better than he could. Scientism convinced people that God doesn't exist, and so the devil kind of
00:15:49.960
went away. But you're noticing now that there are many more overt depictions of this weird occult kind
00:15:57.120
behavior. Why is that? I suspect it's because people are losing their faith in science.
00:16:03.580
I suspect it's because you're seeing the tyranny of the Fauci's of the world start to crack the
00:16:09.740
authority of modern medical science to give perfectly natural explanations for all the sorts
00:16:14.580
of phenomena we see. That's breaking down a little bit. So I think the devil's becoming a little more
00:16:19.060
brazen. That's why you can call me crazy, but explain to me all these weird depictions. In fact,
00:16:24.840
speaking of the occult and politics, we've got a new presidential candidate, not on the Republican
00:16:29.400
side, but on the Democrat side. That would be Marianne Williamson. You might remember Marianne
00:16:34.560
Williamson. She ran in 2020 on the Democrat side, and she became most well-known for her
00:16:44.620
description of what's really going on in the political scene.
00:16:49.040
I assure you, I lived in Grosse Pointe. What happened in Flint would not have happened in
00:16:54.820
Grosse Pointe. This is part of the dark underbelly of American society. The racism, the bigotry,
00:17:01.460
and the entire conversation that we're having here tonight. If you think any of this wonkiness is going
00:17:06.320
to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is
00:17:11.300
bringing up in this country, then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days.
00:17:15.940
We need to say it like it is. It's bigger than Flint. It's all over this country.
00:17:21.100
That was the line that she got made fun of for the most. But actually, it was the most coherent
00:17:25.680
line that Marianne Williamson's probably ever said. She said there are dark psychic forces at play.
00:17:30.940
Yeah, that's basically true. Yeah, of course, there's a spiritual reality undergirding physical
00:17:36.100
phenomena. And there are dark psychic forces, dark spiritual forces, at least, in politics.
00:17:41.260
Now, the problem with Marianne Williamson is she's on the wrong side of it.
00:17:44.240
She's one of these new age occult type people. But she is recognizing it.
00:17:52.260
She's definitely closer to the truth than the agnostic atheist type people who say there's no
00:17:59.560
such thing as metaphysical or spiritual reality. Well, she's in the race now. She says,
00:18:03.660
I wouldn't be running for president if I didn't believe I could contribute to harnessing the
00:18:08.100
collective sensibility that I feel is our greatest hope at this time. And so all this new agey weird
00:18:15.320
talk. But I'm glad to see her in the race. She was one of my favorite characters from 2020. And I
00:18:20.440
seriously like, beyond just how entertaining she is, I like that she reminds people that,
00:18:25.120
as Cardinal Manning pointed out, all human conflict, certainly all politics, is ultimately
00:18:29.700
religious. Speaking of people who want to be president, Pete Buttigieg finally made it
00:18:35.640
to East Palestine, Ohio. This is three weeks after that train derailment that sent all sorts
00:18:44.000
of poison spewing into the air, into the ground, potentially affecting the water.
00:18:49.820
Pete Buttigieg finally makes it there. A day after Donald Trump showed up in East Palestine
00:18:54.780
and made a big to-do, big rally, brought lots of supplies, bought people McDonald's,
00:19:00.060
made fun of the Biden administration, demanded that the Biden administration shows up.
00:19:06.860
There's a lot of trauma in this community, a lot of emotion, and as you noted, a lot of politics too.
00:19:12.300
Now that you've seen the wreckage and spoken to the people,
00:19:18.180
What I tried to do was balance two things. My desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground,
00:19:24.000
which is how I am generally wired to act, and my desire to follow the norm of transportation
00:19:32.200
secretaries, allowing NTSB to really lead the initial stages of the public-facing work.
00:19:39.060
I've just been thinking about whether I got that balance right, but I think the most important
00:19:43.940
thing is, first of all, making sure that the residents here have what they need.
00:19:47.060
Yeah, well, I was really torn because I wanted to completely ignore all of you people,
00:19:53.760
you disgusting, bitter, clinging, Bible-thumping, flyover, deplorable, irredeemable people.
00:20:00.680
I wanted to totally ignore your plight. But then the former president, Donald Trump,
00:20:04.800
showed up yesterday and brought you all some water and bought you a McDonald's.
00:20:08.240
And so now I've got to come down here and pose for photos in a construction hat and an orange vest,
00:20:15.120
like a dime store David Hodo from the village people. So that's the reason that I'm here right
00:20:20.880
now. Can I please leave yet? I actually am about to break out in hives from having to be around all
00:20:26.600
of you disgusting peasants. It's so pathetic. If you look at the pictures of Pete Buttigieg,
00:20:34.620
who speaks well, I actually want to be fair and give credit where credit is due. He is perfectly
00:20:41.120
glib. He has an answer for everything. It's not the most persuasive answer, but he gives the answer
00:20:47.960
in exactly the same kind of self-assured and soothing and almost hypnotizing way that all management
00:20:58.060
consultants speak. Well, we're just going to create some more efficiencies and some new
00:21:04.400
processes for our systems here at this organization so that we can have a little bit more synergy
00:21:08.760
between all the departments. And he ends the sentence, you say, what did you say? Did you
00:21:12.240
just say anything? But he's very good at that. But it just looks ridiculous, especially him in the hard
00:21:18.560
hat and the glasses and the vest. It just looks so absurd. He obviously doesn't want to be there.
00:21:23.220
He doesn't belong there. He doesn't like these people. He just doesn't fit in.
00:21:28.580
Trump, however, paradoxically, this billionaire playboy from New York fits in with these people.
00:21:37.060
These are his people. Trump standing in the McDonald's talking to the cashier about how he
00:21:42.860
knows the menu much better than she does, passing out hats, talking about how great it was that the
00:21:47.740
manager made egg McMuffins for the people and mocking the Biden administration. And Trump was asked,
00:21:54.160
hey, what did you bring here to East Palestine? He says, I brought the federal government.
00:21:59.220
Boom, just walks out. Much more authentic. I'm somewhat skeptical of the importance of
00:22:03.360
authenticity in politics, authenticity in everything. We're in an age right now that is obsessed with
00:22:08.040
being true to your authentic self. No, I think you should be true to goodness and virtue and truth
00:22:13.800
and beauty and God. That's what you should be true to. Many of the things that you could be
00:22:18.240
authentic about when it comes to your own desires are actually pretty harmful.
00:22:21.440
However, in politics, there's something to be said for knowing your lane, knowing your place,
00:22:28.860
not trying to pretend to be somebody else. You remember in 2016, Donald Trump absolutely
00:22:34.360
destroying all of the other candidates because Trump is very funny and he's a showman. And so
00:22:39.200
you got Lion Ted and low energy Jeb and little Marco, and he's making fun of disgusting John Kasich,
00:22:46.500
and he's making fun of all these people. And most of them were smart enough not to punch back too hard.
00:22:51.440
Because it's a losing proposition. Little Marco tried to do it. Marco Rubio tried to push back and
00:22:57.500
do his own Rickles routine at Donald Trump about how Trump has small hands and you know what that
00:23:01.480
means. And it just fell completely flat. It fell completely flat. It was the first time that I
00:23:06.420
started to think, huh, Trump might have his mojo back. Trump might have his quick response back,
00:23:12.060
his showbiz feel. He's there. You know, I am as skeptical of how the 2020 election
00:23:17.560
was conducted as anybody. I've been pretty clear about that. And it's a difference between me and
00:23:23.160
a lot of other prominent conservatives is I totally grant that there were a ton of shenanigans
00:23:27.520
and rigging. And I'm very skeptical of what happened on election night. However,
00:23:33.860
I think this Ohio episode proves Trump needs to stop harping on the 2020 election and he needs to start
00:23:40.380
talking about the forgotten men and women of America again. And that's going to be how he wins 2024.
00:23:45.060
If he focuses on how he lost 2020 or it was stolen from him or whatever, it's just people don't care.
00:23:51.300
Even people who agree with that just don't really care that much anymore. But if he talks about the
00:23:56.420
forgotten men and women who Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden want nothing to do with, and he goes and
00:24:01.520
gives them water and hands them out Big Macs, that's going to be much, much more persuasive,
00:24:06.620
much more authentic. You know, tomorrow, yes or no, the greatest interview show on the internet is back
00:24:12.660
with a new episode with our very own Ben Shapiro. That's right. It finally happened. Ben and I had
00:24:17.800
a great time duking it out over drinks, testing our knowledge as members of the Daily Wire family.
00:24:22.520
You may not have friends or family as quick-witted as Ben Shapiro who can own so many people with facts
00:24:28.920
and logic, but you can still bring the fun home with yes or no, the game. Currently, half the country
00:24:34.980
has no accountability or ability to reason. And it's just a coincidence, half of the people are
00:24:40.140
women. Ah, this is such a, this is such a trap right here. Okay, okay. One can read the question.
00:24:49.360
It's offensive. It's unsafe. It's conspiratorial. It's a great time to play. With up to nine people,
00:25:10.460
you can determine where you all land on the most compelling controversies and greatest ills
00:25:15.980
of modern society. This is a high-quality game. We've put it together. It's a lot of fun. It's
00:25:22.060

00:25:32.380
Jordan Peterson is he dispenses all of his wisdom with tough love in equal measure. You'll find plenty
00:25:37.820
of both in his new five-part series out on Daily Wire Plus called Vision and Destiny. The series is
00:25:42.600
designed to help you find clarity and direction. This is badly needed. A lot of people have no
00:25:47.140
idea who they are, especially when it comes to sex, gender. Here is a clip from Vision and Destiny
00:25:52.580
explaining that. What is gender? Well, it's what people feel they are. It's like, yeah,
00:25:58.580
that's your theory, eh? That's a stupid theory. It's not going anywhere, that theory. And so that's
00:26:05.620
just a theory that enables you to claim something like the primacy of your narcissistic whim. It has
00:26:11.460
nothing to do with the careful delineation of what actually constitutes identity. And so it's
00:26:18.180
complex because there is variability in masculinity and femininity on top of the binary biological
00:26:27.340
substructure. And so that also means that you have to have a certain amount of tolerance for role
00:26:35.580
variability. And you should, because there are masculine women and there are feminine men. And
00:26:41.800
it's harder for them in some real sense to adopt the role that would be easily commensurate with
00:26:49.500
their biological identity because they share many features, temperamental features that are
00:26:54.760
characteristic of the opposite sex. But that doesn't mean that they're born in the wrong body.

00:27:09.920
Vision and Destiny. Speaking of the Biden administration,
00:27:15.280
Corrine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, is now bragging about how few white people work for Joe
00:27:21.560
Biden. I want to take the opportunity to lay out what how diverse the president's cabinet has been,
00:27:28.680
how diverse the president's administration has been. The cabinet is majority people of color for
00:27:33.000
the first time in history. The cabinet is majority female for the first time in history. A majority of
00:27:38.020
White House senior staff identify as female. Forty percent of White House senior staff identify as part
00:27:43.440
of the racially diverse communities. And a record seven assistants to the presidents are openly LGBTQ+.
00:27:49.760
So again, this is something that the president prides himself on, that he actually has taken action to
00:27:55.860
show the diversity of this administration. I'm no math expert. I haven't quite crunched all the
00:28:04.640
numbers, but it seems like a lot. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, that it's a lot of non-white people
00:28:12.980
and gay people and women and this. But the whole argument for that was that we need these roles to be
00:28:21.260
representative of the population. However, the numbers that she just put out are not representative.
00:28:30.380
But the numbers she just showed is that if more than half of the cabinet is not white, then that's not
00:28:36.440
representative of the American public. The American public is still over 60% white.
00:28:42.440
If she's saying that seven special assistants to the president are LGBT identifying, that's way higher
00:28:49.300
than the number of people who identify as LGBT in the general population. So I'm not saying necessarily
00:28:57.120
that's a bad thing, but why is it a good thing? Why is it the sort of thing you brag about?
00:29:03.420
Because if it were the other way, if she came out and she said, listen, nine out of 10
00:29:08.200
people who work for this administration, they're white guys. Okay, we want to assure you this is
00:29:13.080
the most white administration that we have ever had in America. If she had said that, it would be
00:29:18.720
public outrage. There'd be calls for Joe Biden's head on a pike because it wouldn't represent the
00:29:26.240
population. But the current Biden administration is not representative. And they're bragging about that
00:29:32.560
because obviously the real motivation here is not to have our institutions reflect the racial or sexual
00:29:39.460
or whatever makeup of the people. It's just that our popular culture hates white people.
00:29:48.120
It's that our, at least our ruling culture hates white people, hates dudes, hates conservatives,
00:29:56.120
hates Christian people, hates anyone who likes tradition in any way. And I promise you they
00:30:03.680
would not be bragging about how many black or female cabinet members they have if one of those
00:30:09.520
cabinet members was Clarence Thomas, if one of those Clarence, cabinet members rather was Candace
00:30:15.220
Owens. They would not be bragging about that because neither Clarence Thomas nor Candace Owens are
00:30:19.180
considered black and Candace is not considered a woman because they don't check those boxes. So they use
00:30:25.020
these kind of racial and sexual politics in a way that is now just overtly anti-white, anti-man,
00:30:36.740
anti-Christian, anti-Jew, anti-Muslim when you see the touting of LGBT. That's very bad.
00:30:44.640
I know conservatives don't even want to address that. They say, oh, well, here we go again.
00:30:49.080
We should address that. That's really wrong. It's really wrong for our public figures,
00:30:54.520
for our institutions, for the president of the United States and his spokesman to just openly
00:30:59.440
come out and say, yeah, we want as few white people as we can possibly get. We want as few men as we
00:31:04.580
can possibly get. We want as few people who follow a traditional sexual ethic as we can possibly get.
00:31:08.740
That's wrong. That's very bad. It's a bad thing. And we should say it. And we should not be afraid to
00:31:15.100
say it for fear of being called racist or sexist or thisist or phobic or whatever. All the nonsense
00:31:20.000
terms they use. Who cares? Who cares what those people think? Who cares what the left calls us?
00:31:24.980
It isn't true, first of all. It isn't true that we don't like black people. It isn't true that we
00:31:28.840
don't like women. It isn't true, even if you view homosexuality with moral opprogram,
00:31:32.980
it isn't even true that you don't like those people. So who cares what the libs say about you?
00:31:37.300
I certainly don't. It's very freeing not to care about that.
00:31:42.960
They look ridiculous. Oh my goodness. One of the biggest representatives of this
00:31:47.660
anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-tradition, anti-conservative ideology is
00:31:57.760
this woman, Angela Davis. She's a communist terrorist who was implicated in the murder of
00:32:03.420
four people. And now she's fed it on the left. She's an actual overt communist. I'm not just
00:32:07.720
calling her a pingo. She's an actual open communist. And she's been fed it by the radical
00:32:12.020
left for many, many decades now. Well, she just found out that Angela Davis's lineage
00:32:18.680
is a little more complicated than she let on. Any idea what you're looking at?
00:32:24.360
That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower.
00:32:28.820
No, I can't believe this. No. My ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower.
00:32:35.860
Your ancestors came on the Mayflower. No, no, no.
00:32:38.840
You are descended from one of the 101 people who sailed on the Mayflower.
00:32:45.960
Oof. That's a little bit too much to deal with right now.
00:32:53.100
Did you ever in your wildest dreams think that you may have descended from people who laid
00:32:58.520
the foundation for this kind of thing? Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. Never. No.
00:33:08.160
And by the way, it wasn't just any Mayflower passenger. It was William Brewster that she
00:33:12.140
descended from, who is one of the most prominent members of the whole Mayflower voyage in the
00:33:17.380
Plymouth colony. I googled it because I also descend from Mayflower people. I said, no, no, please,
00:33:21.780
no. No, don't let me. Who did she descend from? Please don't tell me. I'm cousins with Angela.
00:33:25.860
Oh, okay. I'm not cousins with Angela Davis. I'm very pleased to report. But Angela Davis is going
00:33:32.560
to try to cover this up as much as she can. She doesn't want to talk about how she's descended
00:33:35.980
from the Mayflower because if she does, it's going to complicate her story. Is she still going to be
00:33:40.700
able to complain about all the terrible people who founded America and how they're evil and racist
00:33:44.060
and bigoted and this and that? She descends from them. Maybe she could. The one way that she could
00:33:49.500
is she'd have to hate her ancestors, which is actually what leftism is all about.
00:33:58.840
A wise friend of mine explained to me once that leftism essentially boils down to,
00:34:04.220
screw you, dad. That's what leftism is. The leftist people that are in your life,
00:34:10.760
I bet 99 out of 100 of them hate their father, their literal actual father, just one generation
00:34:16.420
up. They certainly hate their ancestors. They certainly hate their past. That's what it boils
00:34:20.640
down to. And so in a way, this is very, very fitting. It probably won't change a thing about
00:34:24.160
Angela Davis's communist advocacy. Yeah, she's descended from these people and she hates them.
00:34:30.960
She hates her forebears and her past just like all the other libs do. Before we get to the mailbag,
00:34:36.700
speaking of genealogy, really, really great news. HB1 and SB1 just passed in the Tennessee
00:34:44.600
Statehouse. This is the Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act. Prevents minors in Tennessee
00:34:52.560
from initiating transgender-related puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.
00:34:59.680
Really, really good news. It means that if you don't want kids to be chemically castrated,
00:35:04.500
you don't want kids to be mutilated, you don't want kids to be sterilized, this is a really great
00:35:09.480
step in the right direction. And you might recall that our pal, Matt Walsh, went down and testified
00:35:14.820
at the Statehouse about how important these sorts of things are. All of which is to say, we've all
00:35:21.500
talked about this stuff for a very long time. The mission of the Daily Wire is from the public,
00:35:29.560
or from the private sector, rather, to change culture. We're not out there passing laws. We're
00:35:37.360
not out there running for office. We're in the culture. We're making movies. We're putting shows
00:35:42.140
out every day. We're throwing rallies. Matt held a huge, I mean, Matt obviously talks about
00:35:48.060
transgenderism constantly. He had the What is a Woman movie. Matt went out, had the rally to end
00:35:54.140
the mutilation of children. He has been very focused on that. Daily Wire puts out what is a
00:36:00.320
woman. We've changed the culture a lot. And we can only do that because of you. So it's really
00:36:06.860
your dollars. When you join, you become a member of Daily Wire. You can see great cultural effects.
00:36:12.900
And then Andrew Breitbart famously would say politics is downstream of culture. Sometimes when you
00:36:17.420
get enough going on in the culture, sometimes you see ripple effects in politics. And that can be a
00:36:22.260
great thing. You know, this mailbag is sponsored by Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com, select a plan,

00:36:33.340
Hey, Michael. First of all, I have to say thank you for the various shout-outs you've given my late
00:36:38.260
father, Hal Reine, who wrote and voiced the Morning in America campaign for Ronald Reagan.
00:36:43.340
Now for my question. I got sober two years ago, and that's when I started to believe in God.
00:36:48.660
Fast forward a year later, and I meet an amazing Catholic man who strengthens my faith even more,
00:36:54.080
and whom I was lucky enough to marry last Saturday. Together, we go to church every week. I pray daily,
00:37:00.200
attend faith formation classes, and am on the Women's Club board at our church. Here's the problem.
00:37:06.380
I still don't totally believe in everything the Bible says. I want to, but I was born and raised in
00:37:12.360
the Church of Liberalism, aka San Francisco, and it all still feels so foreign to me. I want to be
00:37:18.940
united with my husband and our future children, who will of course be raised Catholic. So, Michael,
00:37:24.520
can I or should I convert even if I'm not a true believer at this point, merely an aspiring one? Or
00:37:30.860
should I wait, and if so, what more do you suggest I do to help push me closer to the Word of God?
00:37:36.120
In the words of my father via Bartles and James, thank you for your support.
00:37:41.800
First of all, that is so cool about your father. Morning America is one of the all-time
00:37:46.140
great political advertisements. That's fabulous. And then, very cool, what's going on in your life?
00:37:53.360
You're saying, now, I don't totally understand everything. I still have lots of questions and
00:37:58.960
some holdups. Should I, though? I'm drawn to church. I'm drawn to God. So, should I take that leap and
00:38:06.040
be baptized or confirmed or part of the church? Yes, of course you should. There's a great line
00:38:13.020
from St. John Henry Newman on this issue. John Henry Newman wrote, 10,000 difficulties do not make
00:38:20.460
one doubt. You have questions about the church, because you now were raised in the Church of
00:38:27.760
Liberalism. You've converted, or you're in the process of converting, and you're so drawn to the
00:38:35.580
real church. And you say, but I don't understand everything. Yeah, and you're not going to. You're
00:38:40.480
not going to. If you could comprehend every single thing about the faith, if you could comprehend God,
00:38:46.320
he wouldn't be God. If you could comprehend every single thing about the church, well, by golly,
00:38:53.200
that would put you ahead of, I guess, just about every bishop, every pope, every doctor of the church,
00:38:58.820
every theologian, every, no, it's much greater than you. And 10,000 difficulties do not make one
00:39:06.580
doubt. You especially see this with the Catholic faith, though certain Protestant denominations
00:39:14.360
would get this too. Eastern Orthodoxy would get this too. John Henry Newman's a good example here,
00:39:19.280
because John Henry Newman was a Protestant, and then in the Oxford movement, he converts and
00:39:25.240
becomes a Catholic priest, and then a cardinal, and then a saint. The question is, where is the
00:39:32.180
authority? Are you one of these people who says, well, I have to perfectly rationally understand
00:39:38.420
every single thing myself and discover it myself in order for me to believe that it is true?
00:39:42.720
If so, a lot of people feel that way these days. But if so, you are still in the thrall of liberalism
00:39:47.600
and rationalism and modernity. It's a very popular view, but it's a very silly view.
00:39:51.560
Or are you of the opinion that you understand many things, you want to examine many things yourself,
00:39:58.040
you have your own conscience, you have your own rational faculties, but you're not going to
00:40:01.020
understand everything. And so you defer, in certain matters, to the wisdom of the ages.
00:40:06.220
And you accept the authority of the church, in particular, on certain questions. And then
00:40:13.520
your understanding will catch up with your belief over time. And if it really doesn't,
00:40:17.780
I suppose you could apostatize. But I strongly suspect that it will catch up over time. But
00:40:22.460
it's simply a fact that the church, even by virtue of just existing for 2,000 years,
00:40:28.420
is going to have a lot of things to know about it, to know about her. And you are going to take a
00:40:35.500
little while to understand that. But you can accept the authority of the church. You can accept
00:40:39.760
God. You can believe these things before you totally understand them. Because you'll never
00:40:46.360
totally, you'll never totally understand them. But you will see them more and more clearly every
00:40:50.780
day. Wonderful, wonderful news. Okay, next question.
00:40:54.220
Hey, Michael Knowles. I just wanted to get your opinion on the fact that my girlfriend is pregnant,
00:41:00.200
and I am 17 years old. I have been living with my grandmother. I live with my brother also,
00:41:07.500
take care of my brother. Any advice? Thank you.
00:41:11.620
Okay, pal. First thing, take a deep breath. First thing, don't do anything. Because that's a very
00:41:20.440
scary situation, I am sure. And so when people are in really scary situations where they feel very
00:41:27.100
threatened, that's when we can take rash action and are more inclined to do immoral things. That's
00:41:33.560
most susceptible to falling into that. Just take a deep breath.
00:41:40.620
You know, I suspect since you're calling in with this question, you know I am not going to tell you
00:41:46.000
to go down to the Planned Parenthood clinic and go get an abortion. A lot of people are tempted to do
00:41:50.140
that. And they're tempted to do that because they mistakenly believe that if they just go down there
00:41:54.720
and kill the baby, then we can all just pretend this never happened. If I just hurry and go do this,
00:41:59.520
it's like it never happened. Take a breath. Catch up with what is going on in reality right now.
00:42:09.180
You have a child. You currently have a child. There's no undoing it. There's no going back.
00:42:14.960
There's no putting the whiskey back in the bottle. And you have a child. I don't know exactly where you
00:42:23.220
are in life. There's some, not very many, but some 17-year-olds who are ready to go strike out on
00:42:28.460
their own and get a job and, I don't know, start a business, raise a family. There are some. Not very
00:42:35.360
many are capable of doing that today, but I do know some. In fact, one of my bosses did that very
00:42:39.140
same thing right around that age. So maybe you're that kind of guy. Maybe you are not capable of taking
00:42:47.480
care of a child right now. And maybe your girlfriend is also not capable of taking care of a child right
00:42:51.140
now. In which case, adoption would be a real plausible option. However, you have to also
00:43:01.060
consider this is your child. And sometime down the line, you might think, wow, I wish I had raised my
00:43:05.920
child. You may think that. I don't know. I don't know your situation. I don't know your girlfriend's
00:43:11.680
situation. Only you know that. So now that you're thinking of all these things, you're sitting on the
00:43:17.020
bed, you're taking the deep breaths. The next public thing you should do, next thing you should
00:43:21.940
do once you leave your room is talk to your girlfriend about that. Okay, what do you want
00:43:27.400
to do? What are you thinking? How are you, if your girlfriend says, I want to get an abortion, say,
00:43:32.400
don't do that. Do not do that. If your girlfriend says, I don't want to raise a child, I'm not going
00:43:37.620
to raise a child right now. I don't want to get married. I don't want to do any of these things.
00:43:41.360
And she's absolutely firm about that. And she says, we're going to get an abortion or this,
00:43:45.200
then maybe say, no abortion, but maybe adoption. There are crisis pregnancy centers. There are
00:43:51.020
wonderful crisis pregnancy centers available. I can tweet at me, tweet at me, send me an email.
00:43:55.660
I can give you a list of them. Maybe your girlfriend says, I don't want to give the baby up for adoption.
00:44:01.880
I want to raise the baby. Okay. If that is what's going to happen, you should get married.
00:44:08.840
And it'll be very hard. And you're not going to have a lot of money. And you're going to have to
00:44:13.460
go to school. And you're going to have to, or some kind of education program. And you're going
00:44:17.940
to have to get a job. And you're going to have to scrimp and save and work very hard and try to
00:44:20.660
get a lot of money. But it's been done before. You can do that. You should also make sure that
00:44:28.260
your girlfriend understands the reality right now. You both have a baby. The two options available to
00:44:34.900
you are. Give the baby up for adoption, which can be a beautiful, wonderful thing.
00:44:40.080
Get married, raise the baby. I can't give you the answer on which of those two things to do.
00:44:46.900
But those, those are the two options. Do not just have the baby and then maybe consider getting
00:44:52.280
married in five years. Don't do that. Don't get an abortion. Don't, if you are going to raise the
00:44:57.320
baby, don't be a degenerate and go out all the time and act like a 17 year old. That is foreclosed to
00:45:03.020
you. You cannot do that anymore. You have to act like a grown man and an adult.
00:45:07.740
Look those two options dead straight in the face and think about yourself 10 years, 20 years from
00:45:15.400
now. And what you're going to, not just what 17 year old scared, terrified, shocked you wants,
00:45:21.020
but also think about 27 year old you, 37 year old you. And you might come to the conclusion and say,
00:45:27.840
it would be better for the baby and for us if I give this baby up for adoption. And I will accept
00:45:32.800
the regret that will come with that later or that may come with that later. Or you might say, no,
00:45:36.120
I don't want to give up my first child for adoption. But that means I, I'm not going to get to behave
00:45:41.680
like a degenerate teenager and I'm not going to get to go have other girlfriends and I'm going to
00:45:45.160
have to get married. I'm going to have to settle down. I'm going to have to grow up real quick.
00:45:49.140
Those are your two options and then pick one and stick with it. Next question.
00:45:53.880
Hello, Nostradamus. Daily Wire pseudonym, Jason Todd from Connecticut. Thank you for taking my
00:46:00.800
question. The question is, if you could ask Satan any one question, what would it be and why?
00:46:07.000
This question came to me when I was listening to Young Heretics and Spencer Clavin was talking
00:46:13.100
about Paradise Lost. And I was asking myself this question, but for me, it has always been rather
00:46:19.560
vindictive along the lines of how is the making a heaven out of hell and hell out of heaven thing
00:46:24.860
going, buddy? And then I chuckled myself. So I was wondering if you had a more cogent and reasoned
00:46:31.700
question for the Prince of Lies and Father of Evil and the Prince of this world. Thank you.
00:46:39.460
I'm going to ask you to think about that last part of your question.
00:46:43.760
I wanted to know if you have, you know, a more cogent or interesting question for the
00:46:48.760
father of lies and prince of evil in this world. Why would I have a question for the father of
00:46:56.320
lies? What good could possibly come out of that? What truth could come out of a question that I pose
00:47:03.240
to the father of lies? What good could come out of talking to the prince of evil? Nothing. I don't
00:47:11.420
want anything to do with Satan. I don't want to talk to Satan. I don't want to look at Satan. I don't
00:47:16.120
want Satan to know my name. I just, I don't want anything from him. I reject Satan and all his evil
00:47:23.300
works and all his empty promises. Go away. I don't want it. You know, it's funny. Ever since the Sam
00:47:28.280
Smith thing, demons and the devil have come up now and again in commentary and on this show. And
00:47:34.500
I go back to what C.S. Lewis said about this. You have to think about demons enough to remember that
00:47:40.440
they exist because it's a real threat. Just like you want to remember that lions and tigers and
00:47:45.260
bears and cockroaches exist. Just to kind of guard yourself against them. Say, oh, okay, I got to put
00:47:50.320
trap back out here. All right, let's go. But you don't want to think about them too much. That can be
00:47:55.060
an even worse problem. I think about demons like cockroaches, actually. I just think they're gross.
00:48:01.760
I don't want them near me. They actually can pose kind of health threats over time. Demons can pose
00:48:06.700
much more of a threat, obviously, than cockroaches can. But they're just kind of these ugly,
00:48:11.220
disgusting things. And I just don't want anything to do with them. I don't want to be near them.
00:48:15.180
And I want to look and just, ugh, gross. Gross. Go away. Okay, I want one more voicemail back
00:48:19.160
question. I come to call upon Nostradamus for this particular question. Conservatives have been
00:48:25.540
floating the idea of putting in competency tests for any public official over the age of 70 who wants to
00:48:31.920
remain in office or run for re-election or run for election for the first time. Nikki Haley recently
00:48:37.280
floated this as part of her announcement that she was running for president. And I just wanted to see
00:48:43.140
if you could give the vision into your future of how you think that'll be implemented. Because my
00:48:48.740
question is, who's writing the tests? Because the way that our whole bureaucracy has been run by the
00:48:55.580
left for decades at this point, I can easily see a scenario where there's a question on this test
00:49:02.260
about, for example, transgenderism. And if you don't toe the left's line on transgenderism,
00:49:09.460
maybe they decide you're not fit to be in office. Yeah. So is that something you see happening in the
00:49:15.680
future? Or am I just a crazy, kooky conspiracy theorist? Yeah, I don't like the idea of the age tests,
00:49:22.980
the competency tests for president. We have an age and competency test. It's called an election.
00:49:27.420
You run. And if you do better than the other candidates, then you passed. You passed the test.
00:49:34.200
You get the nomination and then you get to run. The reason that this idea is coming up now is because
00:49:40.060
the leading Republican candidate for president is Donald Trump. And he's older. I mean, he's a young,
00:49:46.340
vibrant man in his own words, but he's older. And so the younger candidates are just using this attack
00:49:52.740
on him because it's convenient, I think. I think when the candidates who are proposing this,
00:49:57.600
it's not just Nikki. Other candidates have proposed this. Other pundits have proposed this.
00:50:00.960
But I think once they're older, they're not going to be calling for these competency tests quite so
00:50:04.900
much. So yeah, I don't like the idea. We have a competency test. That's why I'm skeptical of term
00:50:10.200
limits too. We have term limits. It's called an election. People can vote. If they don't like the
00:50:13.980
person, they can throw the person out. If they don't, by the way, whatever you want to say
00:50:18.940
about Trump, the guy is more competent. He's got more energy than many politicians,
00:50:27.020
half or two thirds of his age. So yeah, Biden's got his own problems. Biden was not the brightest
00:50:32.540
bulb even 10 years ago. I don't think it's an age problem. The rest of the show continues now.
