The Department of Justice has just announced plans to indict an additional
00:00:03.660
1,000 people, more than 1,000 people, actually, on charges related to
00:00:08.880
January 6th, the worst day in the history of the whole world.
00:00:18.680
We know this because the DOJ sent a letter warning Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the D.C.
00:00:23.960
District Court to prepare for potentially another 1,200 defendants.
00:00:28.920
That, on top of the 1,000 people already charged for taking selfies in horn hats or whatever,
00:00:37.540
for smiling with Nancy Pelosi's lectern, for cracking a Coors Light in the Capitol Rotunda.
00:00:42.380
The timing is raising a lot of eyebrows as it follows directly on the heels of the House GOP
00:00:48.600
releasing security camera footage through Tucker Carlson that showed that most of the Democrats'
00:00:53.900
January 6th narrative was a lie. Not only was it not a violent insurrection, a coup d'etat led by a
00:01:05.280
Horn Hat guy, but the Horn Hat guy himself was actually escorted through the Capitol by the Capitol
00:01:11.640
Police. But that's why. Of course, our ruling class plans to arrest more dissidents now. The release of
00:01:23.060
the security camera footage humiliated the ruling class by debunking its false narrative, which means
00:01:30.480
that our rulers now have two options. Admit their dishonesty and give it up, or double down.
00:01:37.260
Which one did you think they were going to choose? Speaking of people being dishonest with the public
00:01:46.020
and with themselves, Dylan Mulvaney has just given me my Rockefeller Center debut. I didn't think I was
00:01:54.780
going to make it to Rockefeller Center. I didn't ever expect to be one of the Rockettes or anything like
00:01:59.200
that. But I have apparently debuted at Rockefeller Center thanks to Dylan Mulvaney's bizarre show,
00:02:04.920
which was not just weird and not just an attack on us. It actually tells you something,
00:02:09.480
I think, quite deep about Mr. Mulvaney and other people who suffer from his kind of confusion.
00:02:16.820

00:03:28.780
Of course, people saying, why now? Why would people now, why would the DOJ now be arresting
00:03:34.260
more January 6thers when the narrative behind January 6th just collapsed? That's why.
00:03:41.260
Of course, they're doing that now. Because the narrative around January 6th and the way that
00:03:51.600
the federal government clamped down so hard on the January 6th protesters, even after they let BLM
00:03:56.760
off the hook for burning the country down for eight months, even after they let essentially all of the
00:04:01.440
illegal aliens off of the hook, even after they released criminals, spent years releasing criminals
00:04:06.620
and using COVID as the excuse, even after they've called to abolish prisons and reduce penalties for
00:04:13.500
criminals, why would they double down? It's a flex of power against political dissidents,
00:04:18.800
against anybody who dares to question the regime. So of course, they're going to double down now
00:04:25.440
because Tucker and the House GOP just humiliated them by proving them again to be liars. So of course,
00:04:33.460
that's going to happen now. The libs are going to wield political power and crush their enemies.
00:04:39.340
You're seeing this right now in Pittsburgh. I mentioned that I have this debate coming up
00:04:43.280
with a transgender identifying scholar, Professor McCloskey, who is a very distinguished scholar,
00:04:50.340
has three degrees from Harvard. Not that I would recommend three degrees from Harvard, but has three
00:04:56.900
degrees from Harvard, has dozens of academic publications, has half a dozen honorary doctorates.
00:05:01.140
The question is on transgenderism and he identifies as transgender. So presumably this will be a pretty
00:05:07.880
good debate. Of all of the big libs who are transgenderism advocates, who have begged to debate
00:05:15.940
me over the last couple of weeks, I thought, all right, let's pick the toughest one to beat.
00:05:20.140
Let's pick the most erudite. Let's have the debate in a way that's going to be the most effective and
00:05:25.780
present the strongest argument for transgenderism. And then the Pittsburgh admins and activists try
00:05:33.240
to shut that down in the name of supporting transgender identifying people, even though
00:05:37.080
half of the debate will be done by someone who identifies as transgender. There is a petition now
00:05:43.740
among the students. I think it's about 10,000 signatures trying to shut down this debate. And now
00:05:49.340
Pittsburgh legislators are trying to cancel me. Legislators in the city are calling for the
00:05:55.920
cancellation of this event. And the university is coming out against it too. The university
00:06:03.300
has said, look, we were essentially forced to hold this event because it's a public university,
00:06:08.380
but we hate it. The exact words from Pitt. We understand these events are toxic and hurtful for
00:06:14.200
many people in our university community. The presence of these speakers on our campus does not change the
00:06:18.260
university's unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. That commitment
00:06:23.020
includes steadfast support for those in our community who are negatively affected by these
00:06:27.460
upcoming events now and in the future. So put my debate aside. Maybe they'll cancel it. Maybe they
00:06:31.240
won't. I don't know. I think it'll be a very interesting debate. Go get tickets if they're still
00:06:35.020
available and you can be in the area. But put that aside for a second. This whole incident
00:06:43.920
is an example of the state taking aside. It's not just a private institution. It's not just some
00:06:53.940
activists. It's not the neutral public square where different voices can hash things out in the free
00:06:58.340
marketplace of ideas. This is the heavy hand of the state taking aside. The state through the Pitt
00:07:06.880
administration is saying, these events are toxic. Because this also includes an event from Cabot
00:07:13.160
Phillips. This also includes, there are some other events involved as well. And hurtful for many people.
00:07:18.820
They're toxic. They're saying, if you say that men and women are different and men can't secretly be
00:07:23.420
women and women can't secretly be men and men maybe shouldn't use the women's bathroom, you're toxic.
00:07:28.700
According to not just the activists, according to the state. Okay. I hope that these incidents,
00:07:39.600
especially this talk around transgenderism, puts the final nail in the coffin of this preposterous
00:07:46.080
idea that some squish conservatives had deluded themselves with, that the state is neutral. That
00:07:54.240
the political order can be neutral. That the public square can ever be neutral. That is not the
00:07:58.620
case. In fact, the beginning of the end for this idea, which is a relatively novel idea in American
00:08:05.860
politics, the right only really started to believe this over the last 30 years or so. The final nail in
00:08:11.140
the coffin came when David French, who was a conservative identifying writer, now he is most
00:08:16.820
certainly a liberal writer, when David French said the drag queen story hour is an example of one of the
00:08:22.560
blessings of liberty. And the conservative writer, Saurabh Amari, said, what? If that's a blessing of
00:08:28.400
liberty, then I've had enough liberty. Okay. I don't think that's what James Madison or the founding
00:08:32.780
fathers were intending by blessings of liberty. I don't think that they meant that perverts can
00:08:38.960
twerk for little toddlers at the library, that that would qualify. David French's idea was that the
00:08:46.320
public square is totally neutral, but that is never the case. And the transgender issue in particular
00:08:50.220
proves it because you've got two conflicting arguments for liberty. You've got two conflicting
00:08:57.220
demands for rights and freedom. The women are saying, we want the freedom and the right to our
00:09:03.580
own bathrooms and sports teams and everything else. The men who think that they're women say,
00:09:09.960
we demand to go into the women's bathroom and onto the women's sports teams. Only one of them can win.
00:09:18.360
If the men can go into the women's bathroom, then women don't have a right to a bathroom without men in
00:09:22.700
it. If the women have that right, then the men don't have the right to go in. Who decides?
00:09:30.620
Obviously, the state decides. It has to decide. That has always been true in every political
00:09:36.420
community for all of human history. And especially in the United States where the state, at least in
00:09:42.840
theory, is us because we're supposed to have self-government. So we, the people, are supposed
00:09:47.700
to be able to decide this. Increasingly, we're not able to decide it. And the people who decide it in
00:09:51.680
our country are activist judges or unaccountable bureaucrats. But that's at least in theory,
00:09:58.360
what's supposed to happen. In any case, don't delude yourself into thinking that the state is
00:10:03.520
going to be neutral. It won't. The state is going to do exactly what Pittsburgh is doing right now.
00:10:08.200
They're going to take sides. They're going to attack private citizens sometimes,
00:10:13.040
as Pittsburgh is doing now, is attacking a private citizen and calling a private citizen toxic
00:10:18.400
and calling conservatives in Pittsburgh and in Pennsylvania toxic if they believe
00:10:23.960
that men are men and women are women. The question is not, will the state be involved? Will the state
00:10:30.100
take a side? The state obviously has to be involved in certain fundamental political matters. Otherwise,
00:10:33.780
there's no point to there being any state at all. The question is going to be, which side is it
00:10:39.180
going to take? Which opinion is toxic? The opinion that boys are boys and girls are girls or the
00:10:45.220
opinion that if men have a desire to be a woman, they should lop off their body parts and we should
00:10:51.080
do it at a very young age and men should invade women's bathrooms and locker rooms whether the
00:10:54.920
women want it or not? Which is the toxic idea? I think we all know. Speaking of college, great report
00:11:00.720
out in the Wall Street Journal. High school seniors are recalibrating their options after the COVID
00:11:06.540
lockdowns, prompting an historic disengagement from school. And you know, I'm very pro-education. I
00:11:12.820
know a lot of conservatives say education's dumb and liberal education is stupid and don't go to
00:11:17.460
college or whatever. That's actually not my view. I'm very pro-liberal education. Some conservatives
00:11:21.180
will say, if you're going to study anything in college, study engineering. I don't think that's true.
00:11:24.280
I think the point of liberal education is to read old dusty books that have no obvious practical
00:11:30.580
application to any job or career or anything like that. I think the point is just cultivate
00:11:34.700
your rational will, make sense of your freedom, and learn the best of your culture. So I'm all
00:11:40.480
for that, but way too many people are going to college. And the journal writes, the nation's
00:11:45.660
half-century college for all model is now falling away toward a choice of either college or vocational
00:11:52.280
programs, including apprenticeships. In the past decade, college enrollment has declined by about 15%,
00:11:57.700
while the number of apprentices has increased by more than 50%. That's good. That's according to federal
00:12:04.080
data. And Robert Lerman, who is a labor economist at the Urban Institute and co-founder of Apprenticeships
00:12:11.080
for America. This is really good. I'm not just dissing college, even though so much of American higher
00:12:17.600
education has gone completely insane. But college in theory and in practice in a few places still in
00:12:22.540
America is a good thing. Can be a good thing. But not everything is for everyone. The libs always talk about
00:12:33.480
diversity and how great diversity is. They greatly overstate the importance and benefits of diversity.
00:12:41.540
But humanity is somewhat diverse. And not everything is for everyone.
00:12:49.180
So if you send people who ought not go to college to college, that is going to harm them and make the
00:13:00.740
college experience worse for everybody else. Because it's inevitably going to lead to a lowering of
00:13:05.860
standards. It's going to lead to a flooding of the administrative class with new babysitters,
00:13:13.500
basically, to mollify students who can't hack it in college. And it's going to raise costs. It's going
00:13:20.640
to create all sorts of problems that then will water down the college experience. And you're not going to
00:13:26.860
have people learning any practical skills. So this is the notion that was discussed with regard to
00:13:34.180
affirmative action by the Supreme Court. But it really applies well beyond affirmative action. It applies
00:13:38.780
to the whole idea that everybody needs to go to this one particular type of college. And the idea is
00:13:44.080
mismatch. That when you mismatch people and programs, it's going to be bad for everybody.
00:13:52.500
But if people go toward what they are suited for, what they show an aptitude for, what will lead them to
00:14:00.480
flourish, everybody is going to be better off. And by the way, if you go into an apprenticeship program,
00:14:05.660
if you start working at 18, you're one, you're going to learn a lot more hard skills,
00:14:09.840
almost certainly, than the people who go to college. But it's not like that means you won't
00:14:13.100
ever have a liberal education. You can get your liberal education while you're doing the
00:14:19.080
apprenticeship program. You can read. You can take courses. You can join reading groups and study
00:14:26.160
groups. Plenty of that happens. And that used to happen a lot more in America when there was a richer
00:14:30.940
and more diverse civil life, civil society, before the heavy hand of the total state came in and just
00:14:40.600
tried to homogenize everybody. You can do that. That can be a wonderful thing. There's a lot more
00:14:47.380
to life than just book learning. There's practical wisdom as well. So good stuff. Really, really love
00:14:52.740
this. There's such terrible news that going around these days, it's always nice to see something moving
00:14:58.200
a little bit in the right direction, the silver lining to the storm cloud of COVID. Speaking of
00:15:02.220
job training, some people in the most prominent jobs in America don't seem to know anything about
00:15:08.760
their own jobs. There's only one person who sits behind that resolute desk. And the decisions that
00:15:16.200
that person has to make are the decisions that nobody else in the country can make. And he's an
00:15:21.020
extraordinary leader. Right there. So Kamala Harris is obviously describing the job of the president.
00:15:29.040
But what's a little awkward here is Stephen Colbert had just asked her, what does the vice
00:15:33.960
president do? And so she gives this answer. There's only one person there, Joe Biden. He's so great.
00:15:38.420
He's such a wonderful leader. He's so great. And so the audience applauds, presumably because a sign
00:15:43.940
lit up, telling them to applaud. But then Stephen Colbert leans in.
00:15:55.900
That's an excellent answer. And the question was, what is the job of the vice president?
00:16:02.080
And your answer is part of the job, I'm guessing.
00:16:04.880
Well, you know, my job is to do, I mean, for example, I'll tell you, I was recently in Munich at
00:16:10.820
the Munich Security Conference. And the job there was to stand up. And as you know,
00:16:17.320
most of my career, I spent as a prosecutor. And I declared that we, the United States of America,
00:16:24.120
believe that Russia has committed crimes against humanity.
00:16:27.940
So, and she goes on and on and on and on. And at no point, by my telling, does she ever answer the
00:16:34.760
question, what does the vice president do? This is not a trick question, Kamala. This is not a gotcha.
00:16:39.460
You're the vice president of the United States. You ought to be able to answer,
00:16:43.100
what does the vice president do? What does the vice president do? Well, the vice president
00:16:46.480
casts the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, resides over the Senate. The vice president of the United
00:16:52.420
States is one heartbeat away from the president and serves in a supporting role for the president
00:16:58.460
of the United States. The vice president raises money for the party of the president. That's an
00:17:03.120
unofficial role, but that's certainly one of the jobs. And what does she say? She goes,
00:17:06.160
the vice president is someone who, well, okay, I went, I took a trip to Germany, and my job there
00:17:13.000
was, you know, Putin's bad. Putin is really bad. So, yeah, she doesn't know what her job is.
00:17:24.280
Joe Biden, I'm not convinced, knows what his job is. And the job of the president is much more clearly
00:17:28.420
defined than the vice president. And Joe Biden's been in government for well over 50 years now at
00:17:33.900
the federal level. Neither of them know what the job is because they are convenience politicians.
00:17:45.200
I've long said there are two kinds of politicians, convenience politicians and conviction politicians.
00:17:50.740
Conviction politicians are the ones who go out with a vision. This is what I want the country to
00:17:55.680
look like. Convenience politicians are the ones who go out to just be the position and to get a post
00:18:02.580
office named after them and to have people applaud when they say platitudes. Biden and Harris are both
00:18:09.900
of that sort. I don't even mean to disparage them in particular. There are plenty of convenience
00:18:14.120
politicians on the Republican side too who just want to be something and go along and get along.
00:18:18.560
But they're not conviction politicians. That's why they have been so successful within the liberal
00:18:24.820
establishment. Kamala Harris is rather unimpressive. We don't need to get into all of the reasons that
00:18:29.640
she's had a successful political career. But one of them, I think, is that she's basically nothing.
00:18:34.360
I think it's the same thing with Joe Biden because they wake up in the morning, they lick their little
00:18:37.220
finger, they put it up in the air, and they figure out which way the wind is blowing, and that's fine.
00:18:40.900
They go where their handlers tell them to go. They don't even really know what their job is.
00:18:45.060
That's why the blob, the deep state, the bureaucracy, the liberal establishment, whatever you want to
00:18:50.800
call it, that's why it tends to gravitate toward those kinds of politicians because it's going to keep
00:18:55.920
rolling along, and they're not going to cause any trouble, and they're not going to be particularly
00:18:58.840
accountable to the people. Now, someone does know what the job is, and someone wants the job very,
00:19:03.500
very badly, apparently, and that would be Governor Ron DeSantis.
00:19:08.180
People were saying, you've been telling people you have to stay in your home. And like in Florida,
00:19:13.000
they were killing us because even in those early days, you know, when we were following federal
00:19:16.960
guidelines loosely, but we were following some, we were playing golf. I mean, the villages,
00:19:21.320
they're setting record for golf. People are boating, all this stuff. They were so mad at Florida for doing
00:19:25.560
the people on the beach, all this stuff. That was their position. You are killing people if you
00:19:29.880
leave your house. So then all these people are, like thousands of people are protesting.
00:19:34.100
2,000 of these epidemiologists write a letter saying, we do not condemn these protests because
00:19:40.100
of COVID. Indeed, we think they're vital for public health because they're fighting racism.
00:19:47.160
And so that's when I knew. This public health, this public health clan of people, they are sick.
00:19:55.560
I mean, they are, they are ideologically captured and these are not people that should be anywhere
00:20:00.620
near the levers of power. These are sick people. I actually got to ask Governor DeSantis once at a
00:20:06.160
dinner. I said, how did you know, how were you willing to take the political bet to reopen Florida?
00:20:12.920
Because forget about the public health threat for a second. Politicians govern in their own interest
00:20:18.360
to, so that they don't get thrown out of office. So I said, you know, if you got that wrong,
00:20:22.480
you would have had your complete political career destroyed. How were you confident enough to take
00:20:27.500
the bet? And he gave me a very simple answer. He said, I looked at the charts. I had top doctors
00:20:31.260
giving me the charts. I knew how viruses work. They go up, they plateau, they go down. It's very
00:20:35.020
simple. I was confident in that and that's what happened. And then you hear him explain here to
00:20:40.640
Glenn Beck, Governor DeSantis looks at all these public health officials who are making things up.
00:20:45.400
The moment that he saw the corruption of, stay in your homes, don't go to your grandmother's
00:20:50.240
funeral. Don't go to Christmas. Oh, but if you want to go burn down a courthouse for BLM,
00:20:55.020
that's important because whiteness is the real disease. He just said, this is sick. This is
00:20:58.840
obviously not based on any kind of epidemiological science. Okay, we're going to reopen.
00:21:06.660
Now, all of this matters because there's been a debate in the GOP for about six, seven years now.
00:21:13.880
And the two sides have been, should the GOP wield government power in a just way,
00:21:18.540
but effectively when we have the opportunity? Or should we not wield government power? Because
00:21:23.200
that's big government and big government's bad and we need a neutral sphere and we shouldn't push back
00:21:27.280
too hard. And the best government is the smallest government. It should fit in the size of into our
00:21:31.580
pockets. And that's that. Those are the two sides of the debate. You know which side I'm on. I wrote
00:21:35.160
a whole book about this and I talk about it every single day. Obviously, I think the conservatives need
00:21:39.060
to wield more power or we're just going to cede the whole ground to the libs, which is why Republicans
00:21:43.920
win, Democrats win. The libs agenda keeps advancing. So I said, yes, we need to wield government power.
00:21:49.240
Most of the GOP previously and much of, if not most of the conservative movement said the opposite.
00:21:54.880
Don't wield too much power, light touch, let it go. Let's stay neutral. Okay. I think it's pretty
00:21:59.240
clear which side is winning right now. I think in terms of the argument, I think our side has won
00:22:04.460
the debate. And so you've got two candidates in particular articulating the view that I've been
00:22:09.860
advocating. That would be Trump and DeSantis. Actually others in the GOP field as well. But because
00:22:16.900
they're the two top candidates, those are the two that are really getting these ideas out there right
00:22:22.660
now. They're both on the same side of that question. Wield more government power. Trump was the one as
00:22:28.400
a candidate and as an elected politician who was really breaking through here, who was really getting
00:22:34.360
this message across. So the question when you're deciding between Trump and DeSantis then becomes
00:22:38.920
not so much what do they believe, where are the shades, where do they fall on the issues.
00:22:43.140
They agree on the issues. They even agree on the medium. They even agree on the tactics of wielding
00:22:49.860
government power. The question it seems then becomes who can most effectively wield state power
00:22:57.960
against our opponents and in favor of justice and in favor of the good and in favor of a good
00:23:05.740
normal country. That's the question. Who can do it best? Who do you trust to do it the best?
00:23:13.740
That's pretty simple stuff. That's like, that's democracy 101. And we forget that sometimes
00:23:17.860
when we become so ideological. You know, all of this will pass at some point. Okay. Politics is
00:23:25.160
not forever. Your life is not forever. You will die. That's why you got to get a will and you got
00:23:29.200
to check out Epic Will. Right now, go to epicwill.com. Use promo code Knowles. According to a recent poll,
00:23:34.280
62% of Americans who think about their own death often do not have a will. Doesn't make a lot of sense,
00:23:40.720
does it? Little like being afraid that your house will burn down, but not having homeowner's
00:23:45.340
insurance. Or being afraid of drowning, but refusing to wear a life jacket. A will protects
00:23:50.300
your wishes and your family should something happen to you. When you have one, you have peace
00:23:54.740
of mind because you know you've done your best to protect the ones you care about. I cannot stress
00:24:00.160

00:24:36.280
from Ryan who said, when the libs start their sentence with, let's be clear, an absurd and
00:24:42.280
bold lie is about to follow. That's so true. As a rule, not saying there aren't exceptions to it,
00:24:47.700
as a rule, when someone says, let's be clear, let me be perfectly clear. Obama always loved this.
00:24:52.760
Let me be perfectly clear. Or when someone says, hey, look, honestly, hey, to be honest,
00:24:58.700
what that tells you is they weren't being honest before. They weren't being clear before. They
00:25:06.000
make a habit out of being dishonest. They make a habit out of not being clear in what they're saying.
00:25:11.200
And so maybe you ought to be a little skeptical of the other things they say too.
00:25:14.860
Speaking of not being very clear, I made my Rockefeller Center debut this week. That was in
00:25:22.180
Dylan Mulvaney's show. You may have seen this on some of the other shows, just very briefly in case
00:25:27.040
you didn't catch it. Here we are. I feel supported. And you know what? I'm feeling
00:25:35.000
lucky. Let's Google my name. Dylan Mulvaney is intentionally degrading women every time he does
00:25:40.960
this woman face minstrel show routine. He is insulting and demeaning them and doing it on purpose
00:25:47.120
and profiting off of it. And he doesn't care. Documenting his creepy fetishized version of what
00:25:53.920
means to be a girl. Well, Dylan Mulvaney has had some surgery to make his face look more like
00:25:58.100
Bruce Jenner's. Dylan Mulvaney has just given the best proof yet that transgenderism broadly,
00:26:05.680
or at the very least the type of transgenderism that he suffers from, is a sexual fetish.
00:26:17.420
What? Why would you give them even a second of your big day?
00:26:20.540
Well, these are the people I have to deal with on a regular basis, so I thought I should include
00:26:25.920
Okay, there it is. These are the people I have to deal with on a regular basis, so I've just got to,
00:26:29.420
I thought I should include them. That's true. That's true. So he's putting himself in the
00:26:33.260
position of the victim. I have to deal with these people when they criticize the idea that I'm not
00:26:36.900
really a woman. Or when they point out that I'm not really a woman, they criticize the idea that
00:26:41.020
I am really a woman. That's true. That's something you have to deal with. Women have to deal with you
00:26:47.520
and other men invading their bathrooms and locker rooms and taking away their trophies.
00:26:52.900
That's something they have to deal with. We have to deal with the promotion of this absurdity and this
00:26:58.240
highly dangerous and obviously false ideology being pushed everywhere in society, including and
00:27:06.240
especially on our children, even in elementary schools. That's something we have to deal with.
00:27:09.740
So we all have to deal with stuff and we've got to figure out what's true and what's false and how
00:27:13.480
we want to live together. Okay, but regardless, that's not the most interesting part of the show.
00:27:19.260
It's an honor that Mr. Mulvaney believes that we at the Daily Wire, they played everyone from the
00:27:23.860
Daily Wire, at least who has a daily show. I don't think they hit Drew because Drew does once a
00:27:28.360
week now and I guess hasn't talked about Dylan Mulvaney as much. They hit Ben in there too,
00:27:32.380
though. Okay, I guess it's an honor that Dylan Mulvaney thinks we're the ones leading the fight
00:27:39.380
against this transgender ideology. That's not the most interesting part. The most interesting part
00:27:43.240
is when Dylan Mulvaney sings later about his identity. I don't think that he made a mistake
00:27:50.380
with me in that maybe one day I will actually be grateful for being trans, that this isn't some curse.
00:28:00.040
Okay, so this, which is obviously performed, but maybe it's coming from a sincere place.
00:28:04.640
He says, I don't think God made a mistake with me.
00:28:09.620
Right. Right. That's the point. God did not make a mistake with you.
00:28:20.040
There is sin and death in the world as a result of the fall of man. There is all sorts of suffering
00:28:26.100
suffering and that's not because God hates you. It's because of the abuse of free will and it's
00:28:34.220
because there is evil in the world that comes as a result of freedom and that comes as a result of
00:28:39.600
the fault of the fall. But oh, happy fault that one for us so great, so glorious, and redeemer.
00:28:42.840
The story has a happy ending. That's true. We can go through all of salvation history.
00:28:46.780
But God did not make a mistake with you and your being. And the transgender ideology says,
00:28:55.240
I am mistaken. Not I am mistaken in my thought, but there is a mistake with me.
00:29:00.460
I'm a man, but I really am supposed to be a woman. No, you're a man and you're supposed to be a man.
00:29:05.680
And you might suffer from any number of confusing or tempting thoughts, but you are a man.
00:29:14.880
And so when he sings about this, this longing for God, he's trying to fill something in a deficiency
00:29:24.340
in his true desires. And he's putting it in all the wrong places. He knows that something is a
00:29:36.380
little bit off. And it gets back to a point that my priest made years ago, which is God is I am who I
00:29:43.440
am. That's what he says his name is when Moses speaks to him in the burning bush. He says, who
00:29:48.400
shall I tell them you are? And God says, I am who I am. God is being himself, right? I am. Christ says
00:29:56.940
before Abraham was, I am. When you ground your identity in God and accept the consequences that
00:30:05.880
come from that about the nature of the human soul, the nature of the whole human person,
00:30:09.640
our duties and obligations in the world and our obligations toward reality and all the rest of it,
00:30:15.400
when you ground your identity in God, you will know who you are. When you do not ground your
00:30:22.400
identity in I am that I am, when you do not ground your identity, when you turn away, you will be left
00:30:29.260
with a pathetic question, which is who am I? And you will seek to fill it with all sorts of absurd
00:30:33.820
and shallow identities that will change as the wind blows. Do you need something good to watch
00:30:40.720
this weekend that is not woke, derivative babble? Well, my pal, Mr. Ben Shapiro just released the
00:30:47.520
second season premiere of his delightful show, The Search. His guest is none other than the hilarious,
00:30:53.760
eccentric, freewheeling thinker, Russell Brand. Take a look at the episode.
00:30:58.160
Ben, I can smell weed right now. Right now. Are we going to just sit here?
00:31:08.320
Ben! There's a difference between innocent and good. Ah, poor. Let me think about that for a couple
00:31:14.140
of months. Give me the Talmud, because if it's not in there, I wonder what the hell's going on.
00:31:20.940
Can you smell it? I'm not going to be the one who says that weed is kosher. I'm 20 years clean.
00:31:24.360
I didn't think this is how I was going to fall off the wagon. I've been with Bill Maher.
00:31:28.200
I thought it was you and Rogan. I've been with Rogan.
00:31:30.980
Maher, Shapiro that takes me down. For God's sake.
00:31:40.800
If you have not yet seen The Search, you should definitely check it out. It's a great way to get
00:31:44.720
to know Ben on a more personal level. For those of you who are not already BFFs with Mr. Shapiro,

00:32:28.020
Hi, Mr. Knowles. I'm a longtime Daily Wire subscriber and Michael Knowles show listener.
00:32:32.980
I'm reaching out for advice once again. In the past, you have told me to tell my boyfriend to
00:32:37.360
kick rocks. Well, I didn't listen and it has not gone well for me. He has yet to pop the question
00:32:43.640
and he's still riding on this idea that there's nothing good in marriage for men. How do you suggest
00:32:49.340
young women navigate relationships with men that see no value in marriage? Andrew Tate,
00:32:55.180
Just Pearly Things, the host of the Whatever podcast, they all talk about how women should
00:32:59.100
be more traditional and respectable. I think women are being more traditional and respectable,
00:33:04.260
but they get nothing in return. We could be the best homemakers, caretakers, or even make a lot of
00:33:10.340
money, but still end up 30 and unmarried because today's bachelors just have no interest in marriage.
00:33:16.860
What's your take on how we got here and how we should move forward? Thanks.
00:33:22.400
How should you move forward? You should tell your boyfriend to do the thing that he wants to do with
00:33:28.200
you with himself. You should dump your obviously loser boyfriend. It's not just that he doesn't
00:33:37.320
want to pop the question right now. If this guy is telling you, no, I just don't see what men get
00:33:41.880
out of marriage. I don't want to get married. He's a freaking loser. Dump him. He will be a bad
00:33:47.800
husband. Maybe he shapes up. Maybe he reforms. Maybe, okay, tell him to go take care of that.
00:33:53.500
You're going to be dating real men, not that guy. I hope you take my advice this time. You know,
00:34:00.100
I hate to say I told you so, but good grief. Yeah, that's true. Women should be more traditional and
00:34:06.000
respectable and virtuous. I mean, that's it. We look to tradition because it gives us a good model
00:34:11.220
of what a virtuous life can look like. But it's going to look a little different into the future
00:34:17.420
because circumstances change. But you should do the right thing as best you can. There's going to be
00:34:22.140
temptation. There's sin in the world. You're going to fall. You're going to screw up. That's why we have
00:34:25.580
repentance and confession and atonement and standards of virtue and vice. So yeah, women should
00:34:33.340
be more modest and more clear-minded and more courageous and all those ordinary things. And
00:34:41.920
if the men are not going to rise to the occasion, go find a new man. Men have a leadership role in
00:34:52.280
marriage and in relationships. That's true. But men follow a fair bit too. Okay. And so set the tone
00:34:59.280
and then if the guy's not going to grow up, then, you know, dump him. Get a real man. Dump that zero.
00:35:05.860
Get yourself a hero. Okay. Next question. Hey, Michael. Sitting here enjoying a lovely
00:35:14.180
leftist tears tumbler. Turns out the leftist tears are quite delicious when paired with a lovely bourbon.
00:35:22.280
Doing some thinking. And I was wanting to get your take on something fairly light. Public execution.
00:35:33.480
Do you think in our civilized society, in our modern Western culture, do you think that there's a place
00:35:40.660
for public execution? I'm sort of struck by the fact that we don't tend to see the, I guess,
00:35:52.160
lethal injections now. And I don't know that the deterrence is truly there for criminals with our
00:36:00.600
current handling and implementation of the death penalty. So love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
00:36:07.740
Certainly. Yeah, I think that would do a lot to bring back the deterrent effect of capital punishment,
00:36:13.760
certainly. But furthermore, it would be good because people just don't see death,
00:36:18.100
period, anymore. We used to see death. I'm not saying we want more people to die.
00:36:24.000
But we need to recognize that death does happen. We try to run away from death. We try to hide death.
00:36:28.440
We hide aging. We pack ourselves full of cosmetics. We pack ourselves full of all sorts of surgeries to
00:36:35.060
pretend that we're not aging. And then when people look like they're about to die, we shove them off into
00:36:40.020
special little centers, hospice and old age homes. And we try to just separate them. When they do die,
00:36:47.020
we don't really do open casket wakes anymore. We don't do proper funerals anymore. We do these brief
00:36:53.360
little celebrations of life. We burn up the body as quickly as possible. We ignore the fact that death
00:36:58.120
has happened. Then sometime later, maybe you will have a celebration of life ceremony where you
00:37:02.460
basically just gather with your friends and have dinner to try to process death. But it's a death that
00:37:07.080
you won't look in the face. And so we live our lives trying to put it out of our head. But death
00:37:12.760
is very important. It's one of the four final things, death, judgment, heaven, and hell. You
00:37:17.180
are living your life as a preparation to die and you need to be prepared for your death. In the olden
00:37:23.060
times, people would pray for a good death by which they meant a death that they saw coming, that they
00:37:29.700
could prepare for, that wasn't sudden. Today, people pray for a good death, meaning they don't want to
00:37:35.860
know what's happening. They basically want a piano to fall on their head so that they're just walking
00:37:39.440
along one day with their Frappuccino, having a lovely time thinking about, I don't know, whatever
00:37:44.540
they just saw on Instagram. And then it's all over and they think they go to oblivion. They don't think
00:37:48.020
that the soul persists after natural death. And so our view of death is just so perverse now.
00:37:55.920
And we're so separated from it that, yeah, public executions would also help us to have a little
00:38:04.140
memento mori. Of course. Next question. Dear Mr. Knowles, this is Murder of Crows. As a voting
00:38:11.240
far-right conservative, can you recommend a strategic sequence of topical battlegrounds, such as listed in
00:38:20.080
priorities, eradication of transgenderism, eradication of homosexuality, eradication of divorce, and in
00:38:30.100
my opinion, eradication of evolutionary ideology. Thank you very much. You're a little bit scattered
00:38:39.100
in your plans and you're a little bit vague in your plans, but fair enough. I mean, you see that
00:38:46.140
the libs have taken a lot of ground in the culture and we should take some ground back. You're missing
00:38:50.280
a key part of it, though, which is when I called to eradicate transgenderism, I called to eradicate it
00:38:55.620
from public life. And I think this is the real key here. And this is what's really persuasive
00:39:01.400
to people. And it's the reason that the libs reacted so strongly against my call for it.
00:39:07.460
We're not proposing that we go in, drill a hole in some confused man's head, find the parts of his
00:39:14.340
brain that are firing off to make him think that he's a woman and pulling those parts out. Nobody
00:39:19.180
is proposing that. Nobody is saying that the man can't put on women's undergarments in his own
00:39:25.640
bedroom, that we're going to send the purity police in to arrest him for that. We're saying he can't go
00:39:30.520
into the women's bathroom. That's what it means. That's what it means to eradicate transgenderism from
00:39:35.820
public life. It means it can't be taught in schools to little kids. It means it can't be
00:39:39.680
promoted as a matter of your employment, okay? It means we're not going to accept it as a matter
00:39:46.060
of public life. And if eccentric people on the fringes want to entertain weird ideas, that's fine.
00:39:50.640
You mentioned homosexuality. Again, the ality of it all, I just wonder, you're not going to eradicate
00:39:58.460
disordered desires. Disordered desires are just a fact of a fallen world. But you could
00:40:05.420
recognize the meaning of marriage again. We only redefine marriage as a matter of public law in very
00:40:11.300
recent years, and it's had disastrous consequences for marriage broadly and for the raising of
00:40:16.680
children and all the rest of it. So you could just say, no, we're just going to say that there is such
00:40:20.100
a thing as marriage, and marriage involves sexual difference, and that's that, okay? You mention
00:40:25.220
evolution. You don't want the, again, with evolution, there are like a thousand versions of
00:40:29.740
evolution. And so, but you say, okay, I don't want this to be taught in schools. Well, one way to do
00:40:34.060
it is to say, okay, in this school, in this community, funded by these people, we're not
00:40:40.640
going to teach Lamarckian evolution. We're not going to teach Darwin, we're going to teach Lamarck,
00:40:45.180
or we're not going to teach Lamarck, we're going to teach, I don't know, some non-evolutionary,
00:40:48.460
older theory, or whatever it is. The public life is the important thing here, because I think
00:40:52.540
people are going to agree with you and say, yeah, you're right, we don't need, I don't need to see
00:40:56.400

00:41:07.740
life, then we have a say over it, because we're supposed to have a self-government. We have a

great member blog coming up. That would be with a man who you may have seen on social media. His name
00:41:18.300

00:41:28.280

00:41:44.600
a ton of support from some of the biggest figures in, in, among celebrities, among fitness people,
00:41:53.960
among, and he's, he's really taken off. The rest of the show continues. Now, you don't want to miss it.
