00:00:30.380 Zoomers are shacking up. 1.00

00:00:32.880 They are not getting married, but they are moving in together.

00:00:36.140 According to the Census Bureau, more than 11% of Americans aged 18 to 24

00:00:41.120 lived with a romantic partner who is not a spouse last year.

00:00:45.960 That is the highest share of young Americans doing that sort of thing ever.

00:00:50.780 And there are all sorts of reasons as to why they're doing it.

00:00:54.340 To save money, convenience, pleasure.

00:00:57.060 But I suspect the main reason that they are shacking up at a higher rate than ever before

00:01:02.860 is that society tells them there's nothing wrong with it.

00:01:06.980 There's no reason not to.

00:01:09.160 Which has me thinking about how things used to be.

00:01:12.180 I'm not thinking about the 1950s.

00:01:15.560 I'm not even thinking about the 1850s.

00:01:18.620 I am thinking a little further back.

00:01:20.680 All the way to the 1050s.

00:01:23.600 All the way back to a now little known group by the name of the Albigensians.

00:01:30.520 If you've never heard of the Albigensians, it was this strange religious group that had

00:01:35.640 a lot of bizarre ideas.

00:01:37.040 They believed that the world was not created by an all-loving God and that sin and death

00:01:42.640 pervaded the world because of man's abuse of his free will and Adam and Eve and all the rest of it.

00:01:47.660 They believed that two principles, two mutually opposing principles created the world.

00:01:52.140 The good principle and the bad principle.

00:01:54.580 The good principle was the principle of spirit.

00:01:56.460 The bad principle was the principle of the material world.

00:01:59.680 And so the Albigensians believed that spiritual things were good and pure and true.

00:02:03.340 They believed that their true selves, their true identity, was purely spiritual, purely metaphysical.

00:02:08.480 And they believed that all the stuff of the physical world, including their bodies, was evil and terrible.

00:02:14.140 And so you might say, well, they just had some quirky ideas.

00:02:16.400 Who cares?

00:02:16.940 Live and let live.

00:02:17.580 The problem with the Albigensians was that their movement was spreading and their movement threatened civilization. 1.00

00:02:25.960 It was destroying society everywhere it went because ideas have consequences.

00:02:30.820 So the Albigensians, hating all the material world, thinking everything was evil, they discouraged marriage.

00:02:38.820 They redefined marriage and outlawed it.

00:02:41.160 They discouraged people from getting married.

00:02:42.780 They encouraged concubinage.

00:02:44.020 They actually encouraged shacking up if that was the alternative to be married because it was more temporary.

00:02:50.000 They hated procreation.

00:02:51.860 They strongly discouraged procreation.

00:02:53.920 They encouraged vegetarianism and fasts even to the point of starvation.

00:02:57.960 They encouraged suicide.

00:03:02.160 And they hoped for the eradication of the human race, the whole human race. 0.89

00:03:07.240 They thought these humans growing and populating, that was really, really bad.

00:03:11.020 This physical world is so bad, we've got to get rid of it.

00:03:15.900 Certain echoes of this very bad idea seem to reverberate through modern times.

00:03:20.880 But fortunately, the forces of civilization were able to overcome the Albigensians and civilization lived to see another day. 1.00

00:03:31.280 Bad ideas left uncorrected.

00:03:34.260 Bad ideas embraced and enshrined in culture and law and custom have the power to destroy civilizations if the forces of civilization don't root them out first.

00:03:47.860 I've just been thinking about that lately.

00:03:49.820 I don't know.

00:03:50.180 I don't know why.

00:03:51.340 We have got a lot of these bad ideas going around the culture.

00:03:55.260 We'll get to, there's a video, we'll get to a little bit later, of lieutenant governor in Minnesota, Democrat, of course, pushing not only insane ideologies onto children, but pushing an insane ideology about children, which we will get to.

00:04:11.700 But first, we've got to fill up our brains with knowledge of what's in the news, and you might need to fill up your propane tank at home before you go grilling, which is why you've got to check out Cinch.

00:05:38.000 Ideas have consequences.

00:05:41.320 This is why societies need to encourage good ideas and discourage bad ideas.

00:05:48.820 This is why societies have standards and norms.

00:05:52.740 Because ideas are not just things that float around in the air.

00:05:55.700 They're not just things that float around in our heads.

00:05:57.600 But they impel people to action and they transform society.

00:06:02.960 And in some cases, they can destroy society.

00:06:05.060 I'll give you an example of ideas having consequences.

00:06:07.520 There's an idea out there that conservatives have no right to speak in public.

00:06:13.940 This is an idea pretty much only on the left.

00:06:17.040 The right-wingers never seem to mind, or very rarely at least seem to mind, when the left-wingers hold public events and rallies and speeches.

00:06:25.140 The left-wingers always hate it.

00:06:26.620 They're trying to cancel multiple speeches and speaking events of mine right now, as they've been doing for years at this point.

00:06:32.920 Charlie Kirk was just giving a speech at a university in California.

00:06:36.840 And this was some of the most intense pushback to a speech I have ever seen.

00:06:41.900 There were barricades put up in the room where Charlie Kirk was speaking.

00:06:45.760 There were protesters who were beating down the door.

00:06:48.520 I think a police officer was injured.

00:06:50.400 People were arrested.

00:06:51.860 These were violent leftist agitators at UC Davis.

00:06:55.440 And some of them actually made their way into the building before they were removed. 0.62

00:06:59.880 Now, the consensus view for many years has been that when leftists make fools of themselves at these events, when they scream and they shriek and they get violent, that that's really bad for them. 0.82

00:07:11.720 Because it's exposing how unreasonable they are. 0.94

00:07:14.780 And it makes the conservatives look really, really good.

00:07:16.900 Because we're the reasonable ones.

00:07:18.640 We're the normal ones.

00:07:19.940 How could anybody support the left?

00:07:22.080 The problem with this consensus view, though, is that the libs keep winning.

00:07:27.140 The libs keep winning on all the things that they want.

00:07:31.860 The libs keep radically redefining fundamental aspects of our society.

00:07:35.940 The libs keep winning lots and lots of elections.

00:07:38.560 Even when the libs don't win elections, the libs keep ramming their policies through the courts and through the bureaucracy.

00:07:46.180 The libs have succeeded in their revolutionary plan all the way down to now redefining what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman. 0.65

00:07:52.660 So how do you make sense of that?

00:07:57.360 If these violent outbursts are so bad for the libs, why do the libs keep winning?

00:08:02.820 And why do the libs keep doing them? 1.00

00:08:04.020 Because it's not bad for the libs. 0.99

00:08:05.520 Yes, the libs look crazy and foolish and unreasonable when, for instance, they burn the country down through BLM for eight months. 0.99

00:08:13.100 Yes, they look crazy and wild and unreasonable when they totally misrepresent scientific studies and lock every American in their homes and make us all wear hankies on our face 0.99

00:08:21.080 and force us to take an experimental drug.

00:08:23.560 Even young children who are statistically virtually no risk from a virus. 0.93

00:08:28.520 And yes, they look ridiculous when they make us stand six feet away. 0.99

00:08:32.160 And yes, they look ridiculous when they don't enforce the law. 1.00

00:08:34.280 And yes, they look ridiculous when they attack conservatives in public. 0.99

00:08:38.800 But then why do they keep winning? 0.97

00:08:41.860 Because ideas have consequences.

00:08:45.320 And one of the consequences of their ideas is that they will intimidate conservatives in public.

00:08:53.540 They will intimidate the public and so corporations will bend the knee.

00:08:58.840 Even parents frequently will bend the knee.

00:09:00.980 The citizenry will bend the knee because they just don't want to deal with it.

00:09:03.480 Because those threats actually threaten them.

00:09:07.460 And they don't want to have to deal with the consequences of it.

00:09:11.220 But that's a scary thing.

00:09:12.780 And that's why you've got to put down certain ideas.

00:09:16.500 The left at this point would seem to deny objective truth.

00:09:22.100 Often seems to, certainly denies the traditional moral order.

00:09:25.340 It seems to have their own cockamamie ideas instead.

00:09:29.380 And we can't divorce their actions from their ideas.

00:09:33.160 If you're only trying to address the actions.

00:09:36.200 Okay, we're going to force this conservative speaking event through.

00:09:38.460 Okay, we're going to arrest some of the violent rioters.

00:09:40.700 You're not dealing with the problem.

00:09:43.360 If you want to preserve society, you've got to go after the bad ideas.

00:09:48.440 Some might say you have to eradicate those bad ideas.

00:09:50.980 Now, liberals are losing on one front.

00:09:53.820 That would be the Oscars.

00:09:54.780 Meant to get to this yesterday.

00:09:56.220 The ratings are out for the Oscars.

00:09:58.260 And the libs are bragging.

00:10:00.600 They're saying the Oscars ratings are back up.

00:10:04.220 They're up to 16 million viewers.

00:10:06.440 See, Hollywood's back.

00:10:07.700 Hollywood, which is one of the biggest microphones for the liberal establishment out there.

00:10:13.540 Hollywood's back, baby.

00:10:14.600 People are tuning in.

00:10:15.600 But while it is true that 16 million is an improvement over 2021, let's say,

00:10:21.940 when the COVID lockdowns shut down the film industry, there were basically no new films.

00:10:26.620 It's up from 10.4 million in 2021.

00:10:32.400 Just the year before that, the Oscars ratings were 23.6 million.

00:10:37.600 So now they're down by 7.5 million.

00:10:41.440 It's a huge number.

00:10:42.500 But before 2020, 2019, it was 29.5 million.

00:10:47.780 Hovered around there for a while.

00:10:49.520 2017, it was 32.9 million.

00:10:53.980 A couple years before that, 37.3 million.

00:10:57.180 A year before that, 2014, 43.7 million.

00:11:00.680 Now we're down to 16.

00:11:01.560 And they're saying, this is a big victory.

00:11:04.220 All right.

00:11:04.780 We went from almost 44 million viewers to 16 million viewers in the span of about nine years.

00:11:10.160 But hey, we're up a little bit from last year.

00:11:11.760 It's a big win.

00:11:12.260 We're back.

00:11:12.880 So that doesn't convince anybody.

00:11:14.480 Obviously, Hollywood's influence has declined considerably.

00:11:18.160 It's not just because of technological progress.

00:11:20.440 It's because people are tuning out because Hollywood is making movies that are absurd

00:11:25.600 and don't tell true stories and insult the audience.

00:11:30.260 But that's not my main takeaway.

00:11:31.940 Yeah, sure.

00:11:32.380 The movies are dead.

00:11:33.500 Hollywood's losing influence.

00:11:34.400 Okay, great.

00:11:35.880 My main takeaway here is that this trend of celebrating

00:11:41.320 a slight uptick after a total collapse

00:11:44.620 is how our society is working today.

00:11:48.560 I've frequently criticized the conservatives for this.

00:11:51.500 We counted a victory when the liberals take 90% of the field and we walk them back 2%.

00:11:57.880 We counted a victory.

00:11:59.660 Hey, guys, big win.

00:12:01.420 Big win, guys.

00:12:03.340 The liberals are going to have to wait until our children turn six to trans them. 0.99

00:12:07.220 Yeah, that's right.

00:12:08.340 Ha ha, baby.

00:12:10.040 Yeah, we lost our customs and our way of life and the way men and women interact and the 1.00

00:12:14.240 definition of marriage and even the definition of man and woman.

00:12:16.960 But hey, it's a really big win because the liberals are going to wait until, hold on.

00:12:21.040 Oh, there's an update.

00:12:21.820 The liberals are going to wait until our kids are three to trans them. 1.00

00:12:24.360 Yeah, big win.

00:12:25.460 Because they wanted to trans them at age two. 0.99

00:12:27.800 Congratulations, everybody.

00:12:29.040 No, that's not a big win.

00:12:30.100 That's a huge loss.

00:12:31.400 An uptick from 11 million viewers to 16 million viewers is a huge loss when nine years ago,

00:12:39.080 it was 40, 43 million viewers, 44 million viewers.

00:12:42.780 That's our whole culture.

00:12:44.500 We say, hey, guys, inflation was only 8% this month.

00:12:50.640 Woo, big win.

00:12:52.360 That's big stuff, huh, guys?

00:12:54.720 Hey, we only had 2.3 million illegal border crossers last year.

00:13:00.220 Yeah, that's right.

00:13:01.740 What a big win.

00:13:02.780 What a great improvement.

00:13:05.080 No, we're just normalizing decay and decline.

00:13:09.380 I don't want to normalize that.

00:13:11.440 I don't want to normalize that at all.

00:13:13.780 In order to address a problem, you have to look that problem square in the face.

00:13:19.720 And the American liberal establishment obviously doesn't want to do that.

00:13:22.120 It paints a very rosy picture.

00:13:23.140 But even the conservatives, the conservatives, their favorite drug is copium.

00:13:31.140 You know, they just want to take out a big pipe and smoke a big bowl of copium.

00:13:36.020 Because looking the problem in the face is so jarring.

00:13:40.100 Think about everything we have lost in a matter of just a few decades.

00:13:46.020 Conservatives could not conserve the women's bathroom. 1.00

00:13:48.940 We say, hey, but we're on the verge of a comeback.

00:13:51.480 Heck, maybe we are, maybe we aren't.

00:13:53.540 I don't see a ton of evidence of that, that we're on the verge of a comeback.

00:13:57.540 Unless we start to take on a bolder vision.

00:14:01.360 The liberals have a bold vision.

00:14:03.880 And they express that bold vision through political violence,

00:14:06.320 which I think is unjust and immoral.

00:14:09.340 I don't think the ends ever justify the means.

00:14:11.520 So I'm not suggesting that.

00:14:12.620 But I am suggesting that we use just political means

00:14:16.320 to affect a much more ambitious political agenda.

00:14:19.980 It will work.

00:14:20.700 We don't need to be afraid of ambition.

00:14:22.820 We don't need to be afraid of a grand, coherent vision.

00:14:26.780 Okay, the libs have that. 1.00

00:14:28.060 The Green New Deal is insane, but it's a clear vision.

00:14:34.600 And is it radical?

00:14:35.540 Yes.

00:14:35.860 And are people coming around to it?

00:14:37.080 Yes.

00:14:38.300 Abolish the police is an insane, crazy, radical idea.

00:14:40.940 But it's a clear idea.

00:14:42.180 And many people have come around to it.

00:14:43.720 It has been normalized in our society.

00:14:47.480 Conservatives need to do that as well.

00:14:49.800 We need to stop thinking that decline is inevitable.

00:14:53.140 We need to stop thinking that the libs are always going to win,

00:14:56.460 and we just are going to slow them down a little bit.

00:14:58.960 We need to give people a choice.

00:15:00.520 I was on the Whatever podcast, and a couple of the girls on the podcast made an interesting observation

00:15:06.340 that has actually affected my political thinking, which is they disagreed with me.

00:15:10.660 I was very conservative.

00:15:11.600 They were very liberal.

00:15:12.320 So they would disagree with me for a lot of the show.

00:15:14.140 The host of that show, Brian, is somewhat liberal.

00:15:18.200 He's certainly not as conservative as I am, it would seem.

00:15:21.400 And the girls were really upset with him.

00:15:24.980 They said, your opinion, Brian, is contradictory.

00:15:27.280 They said, at least Michael, at least he's clear.

00:15:30.380 At least he knows what he wants.

00:15:32.460 I don't mean to grant any criticism of Brian.

00:15:36.900 He has a great show.

00:15:38.280 But that was their observation.

00:15:39.680 That, Brian, we might agree with you more in your relative centrism.

00:15:48.880 But we're more persuaded by Michael's argument because he, even though he's more conservative than us,

00:15:54.780 he has a clear vision.

00:15:56.280 He knows what he wants.

00:15:58.280 Voters are like that, too.

00:16:00.060 You've got to know what you want.

00:16:01.960 Voters will vote for a vision, and they will follow the lead of leaders.

00:16:06.780 That's how the libs have won for decades.

00:16:08.480 That's how we could win again, too.

00:16:10.840 So the country, at the moment, is in pretty clear decline on pretty much every front.

00:16:16.340 This would explain why the country is turning inward on the foreign policy front.

00:16:21.580 Why at least the opposition in this country, which is the conservatives, why we're turning inward.

00:16:26.220 And it's not just the isolationist fringe of the right wing.

00:16:29.880 It's even one of the leading Republican presidential candidates for 2024.

00:16:34.300 That would be Ron DeSantis, who has turned his vision inward when it comes to the war in Ukraine.

00:16:41.040 He just told Tucker Carlson, quote,

00:16:43.080 While the U.S. has many vital national interests, becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.

00:16:54.420 So the squishes and the libs and the neocons and whatever term you want to use for the more centrist, liberal establishment wing of the party.

00:17:03.560 They are furious at Ron DeSantis for saying, you know, I don't think we need to write a blank check to Ukraine.

00:17:09.080 And some of the more conservative, MAGA, right wing people in the Republican Party, they don't believe him because not that long ago, Ron DeSantis was advocating for more intervention in Ukraine.

00:17:23.040 You're better off dealing with Putin by being strong.

00:17:26.300 I mean, we've tried to deal with some of this in the Congress.

00:17:29.000 A couple of years ago, we authorized lethal aid for Ukraine so that they could resist some of the Russian incursion.

00:17:35.360 And the Obama administration fought us on that.

00:17:38.180 But I think that's the type of thing when when Putin sees he can gain an inch, he's apt to take a mile.

00:17:45.740 And basically, if America is not going to give him any pushback, I think he's going to continue to try to expand Russian influence. 0.68

00:17:52.200 OK, so from the pro-Trump camp, this is one of the clips that says that they insist proves that DeSantis isn't for real.

00:18:00.700 He's blown in the wind and we can't really trust him to execute the America First agenda.

00:18:05.680 But this is complicated by the fact that President Trump previously had also argued for greater involvement in Ukraine.

00:18:12.680 Remember that with Ukraine, I sent the javelins that you see are so effective against the tanks.

00:18:21.380 Biden didn't.

00:18:22.680 And in fact, he ended our last order.

00:18:25.840 Probably it'll get there because everyone realized it was the right thing to do.

00:18:29.940 And Obama, remember Obama, Biden, they sent blankets.

00:18:33.680 I sent javelins and they sent blankets.

00:18:36.280 You know what the javelins are?

00:18:37.600 The anti-tank weapons.

00:18:39.640 They knocked the hell out of those tanks.

00:18:42.160 And Ukraine wouldn't be having a chance without them. 1.00

00:18:44.640 That was all sent by me, all of it.

00:18:46.200 We sent other military equipment too.

00:18:48.140 We didn't send our soldiers, but we sent them a lot of equipment.

00:18:52.320 Okay, and he makes a distinction there.

00:18:53.700 He says, we're not sending soldiers, but we sent them a lot of equipment.

00:18:56.180 We've been funding the Ukraine war effort.

00:18:58.220 So what does this mean?

00:18:59.400 It means that Trump and DeSantis are running in the same lane.

00:19:03.160 And they've both taken all sorts of contradictory positions over the years.

00:19:09.960 Now, President Trump is very anti-free trade.

00:19:12.800 He's very pro-tariff.

00:19:14.400 There were op-ed, there was one op-ed in particular that I'm thinking of that was published in his name

00:19:19.460 when he was considering running for president first time.

00:19:23.080 And it was a very pro-free trade, pro-globalization sort of op-ed.

00:19:28.260 Obviously, he became much more protectionist and now advocates for a type of mercantilism.

00:19:34.200 There are also videos of Ron DeSantis saying, I'm very pro-free trade.

00:19:37.520 He took votes that were pro-free trade.

00:19:39.120 Now it would appear he's making a little turn.

00:19:41.180 So what does this mean?

00:19:42.480 It means that both these guys are running in the same lane.

00:19:46.340 For the rest of the campaign, they will both be trying to run in the same lane.

00:19:50.860 Trump is going to say, I'm Trump.

00:19:52.160 I'm one of a kind.

00:19:52.820 I'm an American original.

00:19:54.000 I'm the guy who changed the Republican Party.

00:19:55.900 I've done it before.

00:19:56.560 I'll do it again.

00:19:57.580 Ron DeSantis is going to say, President Trump had his time.

00:20:00.560 He didn't win re-election.

00:20:02.060 He's undisciplined.

00:20:03.660 And so I'm Trump without the baggage.

00:20:05.360 But I'm going to be a type of Trump.

00:20:07.160 I'm just going to be the new and improved version of Trump.

00:20:09.240 They're both running in the same lane.

00:20:10.660 So the question for primary voters, I don't think is going to be parsing different issues.

00:20:14.640 I doubt that there's going to be much daylight at all on any of these issues.

00:20:18.060 I suspect the question is going to come down to, who do you trust more to do it?

00:20:22.820 So right now, Ron DeSantis, after some bad news in recent weeks in the polls with President Trump taking his lead back, DeSantis not really growing in the polls.

00:20:32.040 According to a CNN SSRS poll, DeSantis is now at top of the Republican primary field, 39 percent to Trump's 37 percent.

00:20:42.000 So essentially tied.

00:20:43.760 Haley's at seven.

00:20:44.620 Pence is at six.

00:20:45.440 Tim Scott's at two.

00:20:46.420 Sununu's at two.

00:20:47.840 Youngkin is even in the poll.

00:20:49.360 He's at one percent.

00:20:51.280 So it remains anybody's race. 0.78

00:20:53.320 The national polls don't really matter when it comes to presidential primaries because the primaries happen state by state.

00:20:58.280 So what matters is who's leading in Iowa, who's leading in New Hampshire, who's leading in South Carolina, who's leading in Florida.

00:21:03.680 Because as momentum builds, that's how you're going to see the real hierarchy of candidates begin to shape up.

00:21:11.700 It won't happen for a while.

00:21:13.000 But according to another poll, more than one third of Biden voters do not want him to run again.

00:21:19.400 And so you can expect more Republican candidates and all sorts of different lanes.

00:21:25.020 You're going to have the centrist lane.

00:21:27.440 You're going to have the neocon lane.

00:21:28.880 You're going to have the libertarian lane.

00:21:30.620 And you have the Trump lane.

00:21:31.580 And right now you got two candidates running in that lane.

00:21:35.040 So we just we got to make sure that we clear the air.

00:21:38.320 And when you want to clear the air, you've got to check out rabbit air.

00:21:46.060 So guess where I was last night?

00:21:47.420 I'll tell you.

00:21:48.040 I was maybe out a little late on a school night.

00:21:50.560 I was not at home.

00:21:52.480 I was at a cigar bar that I really enjoy.

00:21:55.960 I was there with a couple of buddies.

00:21:58.400 And guess what the cigar bar, which smells great, really, really high-end cigar bar.

00:22:04.400 Guess what they use to clean the air?

00:22:07.400 They use the same air purifier that I use, that you should use, rabbit air. 0.99

00:22:46.820 pleasing product design.

00:22:48.060 Make sure to tell them that Michael Knowles sent you.

00:22:51.000 My favorite comment yesterday is from Isaac Glover, who says,

00:22:54.700 you mean to tell me it's easier to get into a five-star Gordon Ramsay restaurant than to

00:22:59.740 be dealt with by immigration and customs enforcement?

00:23:02.480 In New York City, yes.

00:23:05.480 Because even a five-star restaurant, a Michelin-rated restaurant, probably doesn't have a nine-year

00:23:13.160 wait list.

00:23:14.620 Probably.

00:23:15.220 You might have to wait a year.

00:23:16.660 You might have to wait a year and a half.

00:23:18.960 You probably won't have to wait nine years.

00:23:21.200 So I hope that the illegal aliens who have violated one of the most basic laws of our country 1.00

00:23:26.920 and who have been arrested or are known to be in the country and then let go and told

00:23:32.700 to hang out for the better part of a decade.

00:23:34.720 I hope they enjoy many Michelin-rated meals before they maybe get an appointment with the

00:23:40.400 people who are supposed to be enforcing our immigration laws.

00:23:44.940 Moving on a little bit to the culture here.

00:23:47.860 There is a clip going around of the Minnesota Lieutenant Governor, Peggy Flanagan.

00:23:53.320 And Peggy Flanagan is articulating a view of the issue that everybody is talking about

00:23:58.700 constantly, which is transgenderism.

00:24:00.760 But she's not even just articulating a view of how to deal with the transgender issue.

00:24:06.340 She's articulating a view of the way that parents should relate to children broadly.

00:24:12.720 Let's be clear.

00:24:15.640 This is life-affirming and life-saving health care.

00:24:20.980 When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe

00:24:31.660 them.

00:24:36.060 Put a pause there.

00:24:38.520 Or don't put a pause.

00:24:39.280 I guess that's the whole clip.

00:24:39.860 That's what it needs to be a good parent.

00:24:42.340 The libs invert everything.

00:24:45.800 They don't just pervert things.

00:24:48.540 They invert everything.

00:24:52.380 The libs call good evil and evil good.

00:24:55.880 They call truth falsehood and falsehood truth.

00:24:59.060 They call beauty ugly and ugliness beauty.

00:25:03.020 We see this on the billboards.

00:25:04.400 We see this in our classrooms.

00:25:05.820 We see this in public speeches and the way they talk about morality and virtue.

00:25:09.740 And here, they have inverted the way that we talk about raising children.

00:25:17.700 They've obviously inverted men and women. 0.61

00:25:20.580 Now men are women and women are men. 0.95

00:25:22.720 But now children are parents and parents are children.

00:25:27.140 She says it is our job.

00:25:28.800 When our children tell us something, it is our job to believe them.

00:25:33.540 That is not true.

00:25:38.600 I love my children more than my own life.

00:25:43.960 I love my children.

00:25:45.620 I listen to every little babble and every little word that they utter.

00:25:50.380 But I don't just believe everything they tell me.

00:25:55.800 Because my children are, one is a toddler and one is a little baby who can't even speak yet.

00:26:01.220 And they don't know lots of things.

00:26:05.080 They say things that don't make a lot of sense a lot of the time.

00:26:10.120 It is my job to teach them.

00:26:12.340 And it is their job to believe me as they are learning.

00:26:16.140 That's why it's important to be a good parent so you can raise your kid up right.

00:26:19.040 And then if you raise your kid right, then he will have developed his own rational faculties

00:26:24.720 and his own solid formation and view of the world.

00:26:28.320 And so then he can examine some of those ideas.

00:26:31.300 He might even disagree with you on some things.

00:26:34.080 And then he'll be a fully functioning adult and the generations go on.

00:26:41.080 If a child comes to you and says,

00:26:45.020 Daddy, Mommy, I'm really, really fat.

00:26:49.040 And the child is really, really thin. 0.84

00:26:51.480 It is not your job to believe that child.

00:26:54.300 You say, oh, I guess you're right, darling.

00:26:55.500 Okay, no more cupcakes.

00:26:58.060 If that very thin child comes to her parents and says,

00:27:02.120 Mommy, Daddy, I'm really, really fat.

00:27:04.360 It's the parent's duty to say, no, you're really thin. 0.57

00:27:07.400 You're actually dangerously thin.

00:27:08.620 There's a problem with your perception of yourself.

00:27:10.360 And you are going to eat.

00:27:12.920 And you're maybe going to go see a psychologist.

00:27:14.880 And we're going to help you.

00:27:18.400 That's the job of a parent.

00:27:20.500 If a child is suffering from a less common mental illness,

00:27:25.340 let's say a child comes to his parents and says, Mommy, Daddy,

00:27:29.700 I hear voices in my room at night.

00:27:34.180 If it's a really little child, you might say, oh, you're imagining things.

00:27:36.540 It's an imaginary friend.

00:27:38.160 But let's say that child's 12 years old, 14 years old.

00:27:41.320 Say, Mommy, Daddy, when you turn the light out at night,

00:27:43.640 I hear voices in my room.

00:27:46.960 Your job is not to believe them and say, oh, well,

00:27:49.040 let's find out where those monsters are hiding.

00:27:51.760 Your job is not to affirm them in that delusion and say, hey, you're right, Johnny.

00:27:57.340 Oh, what are their names?

00:27:59.580 Oh, Moloch and Baal and Legion. 0.99

00:28:02.020 Oh, wow.

00:28:02.680 Well, I can't wait to meet them sometime.

00:28:04.420 No, your job is to say, no, no, no, that's not true.

00:28:07.440 There's a problem with your perception.

00:28:09.420 Something's misfiring.

00:28:11.840 And I know you're convinced of your delusion, but no,

00:28:15.520 you should listen to me here and we should get you help to fix your perception.

00:28:19.500 The job of parents, I'm not saying that parents need to be harsh or tyrannical

00:28:23.240 or anything like that.

00:28:24.600 Parents, of course, should listen to their children.

00:28:26.260 The job of the parents is to encourage children.

00:28:28.000 It means to give heart.

00:28:29.960 And sometimes that involves tough love.

00:28:31.540 I think of the bio tapestry, the famous tapestry of the Battle of Hastings, 1066.

00:28:36.880 And in it, there's a very famous picture of a guy who looks like a bishop, got a little bishop hat.

00:28:43.140 He's holding a club and he's hitting these soldiers.

00:28:47.020 But they're his own soldiers.

00:28:48.160 And the caption says, here, Bishop Odo strengthens the boys, encourages the boys.

00:28:58.300 It's encouraging because he's beating them with a club.

00:29:00.440 Because he was a bishop and he was not allowed to carry a sword and kill people during the battle.

00:29:04.500 But he was able to beat over the head his own retreating forces and send them back into the battle.

00:29:09.220 Sometimes love has to be a little bit tough.

00:29:11.080 But if it's from a position of charity and if it's done to encourage and if it's done to help somebody

00:29:17.100 and to really strengthen them and to take away cowardice and falsehood and fear and anxiety and lies,

00:29:23.360 that is a very good thing.

00:29:25.060 The job of parents is to encourage their children not to scandalize them.

00:29:29.920 Scandal is when you provide an impediment, a stumbling block to somebody.

00:29:33.620 So when a confused child says, I don't know, let me just, let me think of a hypothetical example.

00:29:37.460 If a confused little boy says, hey, mommy and daddy, I'm really a little girl.

00:29:42.140 And then the parents say, maybe you are.

00:29:45.860 Oh, are you?

00:29:46.600 Yeah, maybe you are.

00:29:47.540 You did.

00:29:47.980 You picked up a Barbie one time.

00:29:49.700 Maybe, I guess you are a girl. 0.52

00:29:51.740 That is scandal.

00:29:53.700 That's scandalous.

00:29:54.800 That's creating a stumbling block for that child's development.

00:29:59.940 And the Gospels are quite clear on this.

00:30:03.200 Christ says, woe to those who scandalize the little ones, the least of these.

00:30:09.800 It would be better for a millstone to be tied around their neck than around the people who scandalize those little children. 1.00

00:30:16.080 And often this line is invoked by people as if to refer to abortion or as if to refer to physically harming a child.

00:30:25.000 But it's actually talking about causing a child to stumble, to scandalize them, which is what our whole society is doing right now.

00:30:33.220 Speaking of all these crazy identity politics, there's a viral TikToker who has a message to white people.

00:30:42.260 You know, very often these ideas, critical race theory and all of the modern woke ideologies, they present themselves as so complicated.

00:30:54.000 Oh, it's just so, it's problematic and complicated and you need to have read all of these really esoteric thinkers to understand the meaning of, well, not this lady.

00:31:03.880 This lady has a very clear message on race. 1.00

00:31:07.220 I'm feeling spicy, so here's my hot take of the day. 1.00

00:31:10.180 All white people are racist. 1.00

00:31:11.900 Every single last one of them, all of them are racist. 1.00

00:31:14.520 And I don't mean that to say like every single individual white person, if I talk to you, you would have some kind of racist ideology. 0.98

00:31:20.220 I'm saying that as a white person, you uphold a system of racism by literally just being white.

00:31:25.940 I believe if you're not spending your literal entire life dismantling racism, then you're contributing to its continuation.

00:31:32.240 And people get so like-

00:31:33.100 But what was that?

00:31:34.240 Literal entire life.

00:31:36.160 Not figurative entire life.

00:31:38.020 Literal entire life. 0.98

00:31:39.080 So if you don't spend every single moment of your whole life, if you ever sleep, if you ever blink and are not in that moment fighting racism, you're a terrible racist by virtue of being a white person. 0.99

00:31:58.100 Which brings you back to the first point you made, which is all white people, all the time, are evil, terrible racists. 1.00

00:32:06.860 Keep going. 1.00

00:32:08.180 Whenever I say people are racist, why is it such a big f***ing deal? 0.99

00:32:12.580 Like, yes, you're racist. 0.97

00:32:14.020 Like, okay, we've established that. 0.58

00:32:15.300 Now, what are you going to do to change it?

00:32:17.060 Racism refers to power and race.

00:32:20.920 Nothing, I guess.

00:32:23.740 Nothing, I guess. 0.95

00:32:24.520 If that's the premise, that all white people all the time by virtue of being white are racist, then, okay. 0.72

00:32:35.480 I thought maybe there was something I could do to change it.

00:32:37.960 I thought maybe there was some way that I could improve or practice virtue or do good things.

00:32:42.780 But I can't.

00:32:43.580 Even though she's saying at the end, what are you going to do to change it?

00:32:45.420 She tells you for the first part of the video, there's nothing you can do to change it.

00:32:48.200 You are a white person. 1.00

00:32:49.420 You are evil. 1.00

00:32:50.660 You are useless. 1.00

00:32:51.840 You are hopeless. 1.00

00:32:52.500 Everything you do by virtue of who you are is evil. 0.95

00:32:56.320 So I guess the only possible answer to that, if you accept that premise, is, okay, guess I'm a racist then.

00:33:07.460 Whatever.

00:33:08.720 Whatever.

00:33:09.420 Okay, then I'll stop caring.

00:33:11.040 All right, I just won't worry about it anymore.

00:33:12.840 There's a great meme of the way that conservative thought has evolved in just the last 10 years.

00:33:22.600 The first part of it is the Tea Party guy.

00:33:26.000 He says, hey, let me tell you about your constitutional rights.

00:33:28.500 We're all countrymen.

00:33:29.500 Let's just get back to basics and the founding fathers and cut taxes.

00:33:33.340 Okay.

00:33:34.200 And the second one, that's more the MAGA movement.

00:33:35.940 They say, hey, there's some real problems here.

00:33:37.800 I mean, we're all still Americans.

00:33:38.760 We all still love each other and, you know, but you guys got to stop being so tough on us and we're going to have some rights and maybe we shouldn't totally have open borders.

00:33:46.820 And then the last panel is just this guy.

00:33:49.020 He's got five o'clock shadow.

00:33:51.080 He's just seen a lot.

00:33:53.220 He's smoking a cigarette.

00:33:54.200 He says, oh, okay, I'm evil. 0.94

00:33:55.840 I guess I'm racist and phobic and cool, whatever. 0.73

00:34:00.520 And, oh, yeah, you're going to call me all sorts of mean names.

00:34:04.740 Whatever, bro.

00:34:05.600 Lol.

00:34:06.180 Fine.

00:34:06.500 And it just doesn't affect him anymore.

00:34:09.060 That's the only rational response to this video.

00:34:11.860 I remember when I was in college, Ann Coulter came to visit and she said that when a liberal calls you a racist, you know you've won the argument.

00:34:18.780 That's how I feel.

00:34:20.300 I mean, they'll do it to anybody. 0.97

00:34:21.480 Often they'll do it to black people if they don't know that those conservatives are black. 0.92

00:34:24.820 I always go back to this example of David Webb, who's a black conservative radio host. 0.84

00:34:28.500 And some liberal caller didn't know what he looked like.

00:34:32.120 And just the minute he started to win the argument, she just accused him of white privilege.

00:34:35.800 And he just laughed.

00:34:37.060 Let's say, okay, that's fine.

00:34:37.920 We're all racist.

00:34:38.580 Okay.

00:34:39.360 Yeah, cool.

00:34:40.120 Fine.

00:34:40.500 Whatever. 0.87

00:34:41.400 If you are the powerful race in a society, then you're racist.

00:34:44.240 Like, I just don't understand why it's so taboo.

00:34:46.880 Let's talk about it.

00:34:48.040 Let's accept it.

00:34:48.980 You're right.

00:34:49.160 So that we can work towards changing it.

00:34:50.800 We're never going to get anywhere if people won't just acknowledge it in the first place.

00:34:54.260 I guess we're not getting anywhere.

00:34:55.760 I guess you're right.

00:34:56.520 You're saying we can't get anywhere.

00:34:57.760 So, okay.

00:34:59.080 It's obviously not taboo. 0.83

00:35:00.160 It's not taboo to say white people are racist or evil or terrible. 0.61

00:35:03.000 In fact, it's encouraged by the society. 0.97

00:35:05.740 White people, and to some degree Asians, it's the only race that you can legally discriminate against

00:35:10.020 and that you're encouraged to insult.

00:35:11.260 So, okay.

00:35:13.540 Yeah, that's not taboo.

00:35:14.940 You're right.

00:35:16.700 Let's just talk.

00:35:17.500 Yeah, okay, sure.

00:35:18.160 You said it.

00:35:18.860 You're right.

00:35:19.280 Yeah, we're all the worst people in the world.

00:35:20.940 Uh-huh.

00:35:21.780 There's nothing we can do to change it.

00:35:23.360 All right.

00:35:24.980 Whatever.

00:35:27.000 Next.

00:35:27.560 I don't know.

00:35:27.960 Swipe up.

00:35:28.580 Okay, what's the next TikTok?

00:35:30.340 A little literally here.

00:35:31.520 What is the next TikTok? 0.91

00:35:32.620 Is from Sam Harris, the liberal atheist, attacking one of the black faces of white supremacy, 0.96

00:35:41.540 our friend Candace Owens.

00:35:43.360 You're swimming in a sea of misinformation where you've got people

00:35:46.560 who are moving the opinions of millions of others who should not have an opinion on these topics.

00:35:56.380 Like, there's no—

00:35:57.160 Put a pause there.

00:35:57.800 Sam Harris.

00:36:01.460 Sam Harris, best known for trying to convince edgy 13-year-olds not to believe in God.

00:36:10.180 That's what he's known for.

00:36:11.300 He's known as one of the four new atheists, which was this kind of contrived publishing movement in the mid-2000s.

00:36:16.860 Sam Harris, who I don't mean to insult him or anything like that, but not the highest, finest intellectual in the world, okay?

00:36:28.040 He's just a—he was sort of a publishing thing, and he had this really silly idea. 0.94

00:36:33.520 And it's one of—and it's probably the single dumbest idea anybody can have in the world, which is that God does not exist. 0.95

00:36:38.580 And he has the audacity to tell people that they should not have an opinion. 0.92

00:36:44.400 Sam Harris, the great liberal.

00:36:45.560 The great liberal, we hear it all out.

00:36:47.500 We're pro-free speech.

00:36:48.680 So certain people shouldn't have an opinion.

00:36:50.040 Who are those people?

00:36:51.560 There is no scenario in which you should be getting your opinion about vaccine safety or climate change or the war in Ukraine

00:37:01.840 or anything else that we might want to talk about from Candace Owens, right?

00:37:07.160 It's just like—she's not a relevant expert on any of those topics.

00:37:12.900 And what's more, she doesn't seem to care.

00:37:16.620 He said a few true things there.

00:37:18.800 He said two true things.

00:37:20.500 Candace Owens is not a relative expert.

00:37:23.880 Or not a relevant expert.

00:37:25.720 That's true.

00:37:26.080 She doesn't have a white lab coat. 0.93

00:37:27.380 She doesn't have a medical degree.

00:37:28.600 She didn't study epidemiology at Johns Hopkins.

00:37:32.080 That's true.

00:37:33.260 And it's also true that she doesn't care.

00:37:36.240 She's going to give her opinion whether Sam Harris wants her to or not.

00:37:40.200 There's something here that Sam Harris missed, which is that when it comes to vaccine safety,

00:37:47.740 when it comes to the efficacy of the COVID vaccine,

00:37:52.160 Candace Owens was right.

00:37:54.620 And all of the relevant experts were wrong.

00:37:59.600 It's this really weird fact that on the pressing public matters,

00:38:07.140 regular people are often right,

00:38:12.000 and the relevant experts with all the special credentials

00:38:16.160 who Sam Harris gives a stamp of approval to

00:38:19.220 are frequently, if not always, wrong.

00:38:24.000 So if we're going to take away the ability of either of these groups to have an opinion

00:38:31.800 that is public,

00:38:34.080 wouldn't it make more sense to take away Dr. Fauci's platform?

00:38:38.380 Wouldn't it make more sense to take away the platform of the CDC or the WHO,

00:38:42.940 which totally botched COVID?

00:38:46.160 Wouldn't it make sense to take away the platform of Sam Harris,

00:38:48.560 who's wrong about pretty much everything?

00:38:50.060 Because if I'm just judging by who's right and who's wrong,

00:38:54.120 it's true, you know, I'm giving, I have this debate, it's still scheduled,

00:38:56.540 we'll see if the administration cancels it.

00:38:58.300 I have a debate on transgenderism with a transgender scholar,

00:39:03.600 a supposedly distinguished professor with three degrees from Harvard,

00:39:06.960 and half a dozen honorary doctorates, and dozens of academic publications,

00:39:10.960 who is a man who identifies as a woman, and he calls himself Deirdre,

00:39:14.540 and his real name is Donald, and he's supposedly this distinguished scholar.

00:39:20.240 He's got all of these degrees and credentials,

00:39:23.300 and he's been tweeting about our debate.

00:39:26.600 And the only points that he's really made about the debate,

00:39:29.520 he wants the debate to go on, and he said,

00:39:30.880 Knowles is a fascist. 0.99

00:39:32.600 Knowles is a fascist. 1.00

00:39:34.880 He used the phrase, he said, I'm an anti-Jesus Catholic. 0.97

00:39:39.200 What is it?

00:39:39.980 So I guess he's Episcopalian.

00:39:41.540 That's where they talk about, you know, glass houses.

00:39:44.060 But he's accusing the Catholics, I guess, of being anti-Jesus.

00:39:46.980 I don't know.

00:39:48.380 He's the expert.

00:39:49.340 He's the distinguished scholar. 0.99

00:39:51.340 He says, You're a fascist. 0.99

00:39:52.800 You're mean. 1.00

00:39:53.460 You're an evil. 1.00

00:39:54.400 I hate you. 1.00

00:39:56.440 I haven't said anything like that at all. 0.94

00:39:58.860 I've only said relatively complimentary things about him.

00:40:02.160 I'm not some distinguished scholar.

00:40:04.260 I don't have any particularly advanced degree.

00:40:06.580 That's the way it goes.

00:40:07.380 And I happen to be right on the question.

00:40:09.200 Men are men, and women are women. 0.99

00:40:10.940 And you know who else is right?

00:40:11.980 Every normal person who has ever lived for all of human history are all right.

00:40:17.260 It takes multiple degrees from Harvard not to know what a woman is. 1.00

00:40:21.400 Ask Justice Ketanji Jackson.

00:40:23.780 Despite the lackluster economy, or maybe because of it, the Daily Wire is thriving.

00:40:29.760 And not only that, we are hiring.

00:40:31.740 We are currently looking for a video editor to join our fast-growing production team.

00:40:37.460 This person will get the opportunity to work on a variety of content, including our daily podcasts, long-form interviews, YouTube videos, as well as shows such as Ben Shapiro's Debunked, documentaries from Jordan Peterson, and more.

00:40:49.880 Four-plus years of professional video editing experience and familiarity in working in a very fast-paced environment with high turnaround times is required.

00:40:57.800 Bonus points for experience working on viral YouTube content.

00:41:00.920 This is the perfect role for someone who can expertly follow standardized video editing formats while also possessing a strong creative skill set.

00:41:08.540 A link to your reel is required for consideration.

00:41:10.860 The position is based in Nashville, Tennessee.

00:41:12.480 For more information and to apply, visit dailywire.com slash careers, dailywire.com slash careers today.

00:41:18.240 Okay, I talked about DeSantis, I talked about Trump, I talked about Biden.

00:41:23.820 We've got to get to one other candidate for president who has just announced his run.

00:41:29.380 He's not getting nearly enough coverage, even though the announcement came yesterday.

00:41:33.820 Classic lamestream media doesn't want to cover the real candidates.

00:41:38.080 That person, of course, would be Joe Exotic.

00:41:41.080 Yes, the Tiger King, who is currently in prison for hiring a hitman to kill his nemesis, Carole Baskin.

00:41:51.280 Joe Exotic has declared that he is running as a Republican for president.

00:41:58.420 In his announcement, he said,

00:42:00.720 Put aside that I am gay, that I am in prison for now, that I used drugs in the past,

00:42:06.460 that I had more than one boyfriend at once, and that Carole hates my guts. 0.85

00:42:12.760 This all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice.

00:42:17.760 The best thing you have going for supporting me is that I am used to fighting my whole life just to get by.

00:42:24.620 I am broke.

00:42:25.740 They have taken everything I ever worked for away.

00:42:28.740 And it's time we take this country back.

00:42:31.020 Now, Joe has a couple of points.

00:42:38.020 Elsewhere in his announcement, he said,

00:42:39.740 I'm just in prison because of the corruption of the Justice Department.

00:42:43.160 And I don't think that's true. 0.74

00:42:44.180 I think he's in prison because he hired a hitman to kill a lady. 0.96

00:42:48.120 But his point is, the Justice Department is corrupt. 0.80

00:42:51.200 Even had Whitaker, the former acting attorney general,

00:42:56.500 who said that there is a two-tiered system of justice in the United States.

00:42:59.920 We know that the Justice Department goes hard after pro-life grannies 1.00

00:43:05.520 and goes hard after horn-hatted people being given a private tour by police around the Capitol

00:43:11.020 on January 6th taking selfies, but they allow BLM off the hook.

00:43:14.860 We know that that's true.

00:43:16.760 We know that people can change.

00:43:19.540 America is the place of second chances.

00:43:22.100 And we know that candidates who have nothing to lose are sometimes the very best candidates.

00:43:27.540 This is one of the arguments for Trump, actually, is they've thrown everything at him.

00:43:31.480 They've taken away everything of his that they can, short of throwing him in prison.

00:43:36.100 And so he's not really beholden to anybody.

00:43:39.920 That's true.

00:43:41.160 That said, it would appear that Joe Exotic is basically unrepentant.

00:43:45.500 And I'm not sure that he's really reformed any of his ways at all.

00:43:50.880 And so I will not, I will, I don't, I don't want to endorse in the primaries,

00:43:55.820 but I don't think that I will be supporting Joe Exotic for his run.

00:43:58.720 Though he can run, and presidential candidates have run before from prison.

00:44:02.640 Eugene Debs, famously a socialist, ran from prison.

00:44:05.340 And he got something like 8% of the vote.

00:44:06.880 So don't, if you're in it, you can win it.

00:44:09.740 Don't write any candidate out, including Joe Exotic.

00:44:12.400 The rest of the show continues now.
