Summary
A lot of companies are cashing in on the backlash against Bud Light, against Maybelline, against Olay, against Disney, against KitchenAid, and against Joe Biden s DOJ. Why would the White House double down on this?
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Despite the nationwide backlash against Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney has just received
00:00:04.940
another endorsement deal, this time from Maybelline.
00:00:11.760
Here he is, Mr. Mulvaney looking like a dude, and then he puts the makeup on, and
00:00:17.000
he looks like a dude trying to look like Audrey Hepburn, and he does his cheering.
00:00:22.640
And unlike Bud Light, which caters primarily to frat boys and construction workers,
00:00:28.760
Maybelline makes some sense as a Mulvaney advertiser.
00:00:34.540
Yes, Mulvaney's ideology is opposed by the vast majority of Americans, but Maybelline
00:00:40.560
makeup is intended to make people look different than they otherwise should.
00:00:45.180
Sure, the company seems to be taking its tagline a little bit far.
00:01:08.280
Transgenderism is here to stay, whether it's profitable or not, whether the people want
1.00
00:01:14.820
The scariest part of these campaigns is not what they say about gender or the corporations,
00:01:27.240
And so, for now at least, that's the way things are going to be.
00:01:42.000
A lot of companies are cashing in on the backlash against Bud Light, against Maybelline, against
00:01:49.580
Watch companies, beer companies, conservatives following the Jeremy's Razors model, which
00:01:56.840
First, though, it's not just some woke corporations.
00:02:01.300
It's not just Disney and Bud Light and KitchenAid and Maybelline.
00:02:06.680
It's the Biden administration, all the way up to the White House.
00:02:09.300
The Biden administration is now wielding the DOJ to double down on transing the kids.
00:02:17.100
Joe Biden's DOJ is challenging the Tennessee law that says you can't castrate little kids
00:02:32.320
Well, we are not going to let the people of Tennessee, through their elected representatives,
00:02:38.620
We are going to challenge the Tennessee law that bans what the White House calls critically
00:02:44.620
medically necessary care for transgender youth.
00:02:52.460
Forget about transing the kids for a second.
1.00
00:02:55.080
Forget about the whole ideology of transgenderism.
0.96
00:02:57.080
Just think about what this says about self-government.
00:03:00.040
The only conclusion here that we can draw is that this White House and the whole political
00:03:06.400
class that it represents, they don't feel they need to answer to the people.
00:03:12.960
Few research shows that 60% of Americans reject the ideology of transgenderism, period.
00:03:19.840
A far greater number of Americans oppose transing poor little kids.
00:03:30.820
Why would the White House, especially at a time where approval ratings are so low,
00:03:34.740
Joe Biden's got these historical approval ratings, disapproval ratings, rather.
00:03:42.320
The only plausible answer is that they don't feel they have to answer to the people.
00:03:48.700
They control enough of the power centers and the media and the schools and the administrative
00:03:53.260
state and the way elections are conducted, perhaps, that they just don't think they have to answer
00:03:58.940
And so they're going to do whatever their ideology tells them to do.
0.97
00:04:03.020
Public opinion, common sense, right reason, be damned.
00:04:07.200
Speaking of Joe Biden, Joe Biden has been a declared candidate for re-election for now
00:04:13.920
about 32 hours by my count, and he is already lying up and down the campaign trail.
00:04:24.020
You thought you heard all of his lies about his academic record, about his professional
00:04:27.880
record, about how his dad loved watching men kiss in the street back in Scranton or something,
00:04:33.960
about his family, about his children, about his whole record, about growing up in the black
00:04:43.700
church, about corn pop and hairy legs at the local pool.
00:04:47.720
Well, now we got a new one that involves not Joe Biden's father, but Joe Biden's grandfather.
00:04:56.520
My grandpop, who I never met, he died in the same hospital I was born in two weeks before
00:05:04.920
I grew up in small town America, good old family tradition, good old Scranton Joe.
00:05:12.360
The story that Joe Biden is telling is irrelevant to the point here.
00:05:21.080
Joe Biden's grandpop, who he didn't know, died not in Scranton, but in Baltimore, Maryland,
00:05:29.820
Joe Biden wasn't born until November 1942 in a different town, in a different state.
00:05:39.660
Who cares that Joe Biden's flubbing some story from 80 years ago?
00:05:44.380
I care because it tells me that this guy can't tell the difference between lies and the truth.
0.99
00:05:54.440
This is what happens when you are a habitual liar, as Joe Biden is.
0.98
00:06:03.160
Joe Biden tells more lies than most politicians.
00:06:10.180
And the fear of this is not just that you're going to deceive one person or even a lot of people on just one issue or two issues.
0.91
00:06:19.140
If you've ever known a liar, I mean a real habitual liar like Joe Biden, you'll know the craziest part is that after a while,
0.61
00:06:28.440
even they can't tell the difference between lies and the truth.
0.82
00:06:33.260
It's not that Joe Biden is setting out to deceive people.
00:06:37.940
He says, oh, yes, I'm going to fool them all today with this story about my grandpop in 1942.
00:06:46.500
It's not that even he sincerely believes this really happened.
00:06:57.740
And so with a president like that, for people who have grown up with an ideology that lends itself to that kind of behavior,
00:07:07.200
is it any wonder that they'll double down on the lie that a man can be a woman,
00:07:11.980
that they'll double down on the lie that castrating children is really good for them, it really improves their health,
00:07:16.800
that they'll double down on the lie that a baby isn't really a baby,
00:07:19.760
that they'll double down on the lie that foreign nationals are actually American citizens, sort of, in some way,
00:07:25.320
that they'll double down on lie after lie after lie.
00:07:29.360
No, because they just don't care about the truth.
00:07:33.420
It doesn't look good, okay, when people do this sort of thing.
00:07:36.220

00:09:04.100
Something really doesn't look good in politics and media is that Fox News fired Tucker Carlson.
00:09:11.800
The top-rated cable host, not just these days, but ever of all time,
00:09:17.800
fired totally unexpectedly at the very height of his power.
00:09:22.680
People are trying to figure out what motivated it.
00:09:27.500
That doesn't really make sense because other hosts on Fox went much further in their claims
00:09:34.140
Why do they still have their jobs and Tucker doesn't?
00:09:36.040
Well, is it that, I don't know, Tucker has a sexual harassment suit or something like that coming?
00:09:45.780
No, there's not been one peep about anything like that.
00:09:48.940
That would be completely out of character for Tucker.
00:09:54.700
No, Tucker signed off his show on Friday telling people, see you on Monday.
00:09:59.540
So Tucker thought he still had a show the following week.
00:10:02.240
It was a story that came out of Vanity Fair, which we talked about a little bit yesterday,
00:10:05.440
which is that Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corporation, apparently had a dinner with his
00:10:10.740
then-fiancé and her favorite host, Tucker Carlson, in which the then-fiancé brought out a Bible.
00:10:19.340
She said, oh, Tucker, I think you're a messenger from God.
00:10:22.960
I think you're really standing up for the right thing.
00:10:26.900
Then Tucker, well, then Rupert Murdoch apparently broke off this engagement shortly after that dinner.
00:10:31.600
And then Tucker gave a speech on Friday night or Saturday night, sometime over the weekend,
00:10:36.300
at the Heritage Foundation 50th anniversary dinner, in which he said,
00:10:40.460
I no longer believe that our political fight is between one white paper and another white paper,
00:10:46.740
I'm now beginning to think this is a clearer fight between good and evil.
00:10:50.240
And so I, even being an Episcopalian, a fairly shallow tradition these days,
00:10:54.280
I recommend you all take 10 minutes out of your day to say a prayer.
00:10:58.200
And according to the news reports, according to Vanity Fair, that's what got Tucker fired.
00:11:03.320
The fact that he said in a big speech that people should pray, that was a bridge too far.
00:11:12.760
I've been on Fox a lot of times, but I've never worked for Fox News.
00:11:17.240
It seems so crazy that it also would seem to me to be the most plausible explanation.
00:11:27.100
It's so ridiculous that in this fallen world that is governed by principalities and powers
0.87
00:11:32.880
and spiritual wickedness in high places, in this fallen world in which you're not allowed
0.99
00:11:38.660
to read the Bible in schools, but you can be assigned gay porn in schools, including in
0.99
00:11:44.440
In this crazy clown world we're living in, that to me seemed like the most plausible explanation.
00:11:49.440
And our friend Glenn Beck seems to be backing that up.
00:11:52.220
Glenn obviously worked at Fox for a long time, was a very highly rated host over there.
00:11:56.600
And he said, from what he knows of Rupert Murdoch, the story rings true.
00:12:01.560
This is something that bothers Rupert deeply, deeply bothers him.
00:12:10.120
I was told not to use the word God on the air anymore.
00:12:18.500
And they're like, uh, you know, you gotta stop using it.
00:12:22.160
And three months go by and he comes back and he says, do you know how many times did you,
00:12:27.700
do you not remember when I said, don't talk about God all the time?
00:12:32.900
And he said, um, do you know how many times you've said God on the air since that?
00:12:39.460
I looked at him and I kind of laughed and I said, you counted?
00:12:42.680
And he said, I can't remember the number, but it was like 91 times.
00:13:01.380
Isn't that kind of weird that according now to a Fox source and according to Glenn Beck,
00:13:08.700
who has plenty of experience at Fox News and who is going on the record with this,
00:13:13.780
that the head of not just the allegedly conservative news channel, but much of conservative media
00:13:34.800
When these terms came about, the right and the left, what did they refer to?
00:13:42.480
They referred to two sides of the National Assembly in the early days of the French Revolution.
00:13:48.320
On the left side of the assembly, you had the radicals who opposed the political order
00:13:55.160
and who opposed the church and who opposed God.
00:14:00.480
And then on the right side of the aisle, you had the people who supported political order
00:14:15.420
In America, now, long after the French Revolution, American conservatives, what do we defend?
00:14:25.400
We're supposed to be defending a prosperous, flourishing country.
00:14:29.660
But more than that, don't we want family values?
00:14:42.740
God doesn't need us to defend him, but it would be good for us to be on God's side.
00:14:49.080
If you've got to pick, I would recommend be on God's side.
00:14:53.860
A nation that turns away from God doesn't turn out very well.
00:14:57.560
And the men who founded our country, going back even before the American Revolution,
00:15:02.860
going back all the way to 1620 and the Mayflower and Massachusetts colony,
00:15:07.900
they viewed America as a shining city on a hill, as a Christian country that would look toward God.
00:15:13.480
And the head of the conservative media, at least the traditional conservative media,
00:15:20.120
We're going to fire our top-rated host if he talks about God.
00:15:25.620
So it's almost as if we always knew the conservatives were outnumbered in terms of the power centers.
00:15:34.360
We thought, well, at least we've got this one cable channel.
00:15:36.480
Well, at least we've got this one media corporation.
00:15:38.960
If we can't talk about God, then we don't have that power center.
00:15:53.200
Increasingly, our politics appears not to be a debate between the most efficient or prudent means to achieve the good ends that we all agree to.
00:16:03.980
It just increasingly seems to be a fight between good and evil.
00:16:07.280
You want to see one of the creepiest videos you'll see in a while?
00:16:11.240
I know that all the creepy videos these days are transgender activists doing all sorts of weird stuff.
1.00
00:16:18.260
This is an Arizona state representative, Stephanie Stahl-Hamilton from Tucson.
0.82
00:16:26.300
She was caught on camera going into the House members only lounge at the Arizona state capitol and hiding Bibles.
00:16:38.720
I guess there are some Bibles out in this lounge.
00:16:40.940
Probably a good thing for legislators to refer to.
00:16:44.380
The most important book in the history of our civilization.
00:16:48.020
The book that I believe is the inerrant word of God.
00:16:52.820
But even if you don't believe in that, certainly you think it's an important book.
00:17:05.920
So it's out there, if people want to read the Bible, they're not being forced to read the Bible.
00:17:08.740
But then this Democrat goes in and just very creepily picks up these Bibles and hides them under a chair.
00:17:27.480
This woman's office totally stonewalled the reporter.
1.00
00:17:30.520
So the reporter goes up and he says, hey, okay, I'm glad I caught you, state rep.
00:17:35.640
Hey, Stephanie, not very nice to hand up on me.
0.61
00:17:43.560
Who says anything about hiding Bibles and I don't hide them?
00:17:59.620
He says to the state rep, Stephanie, you're an ordained minister.
00:18:02.320
I don't know what weird cult this lady is an ordained minister in.
1.00
00:18:09.320
Certainly not the traditional church, but I don't know.
00:18:13.140
She's a priestess, I guess, in some strange cult.
00:18:15.280
But whatever cult she's in, she doesn't seem to like the Bible very much.
00:18:18.340
She doesn't seem to like the word of God very much.
00:18:20.000
And regardless of her side hustle in some new age cult,
00:18:26.600
this woman is a representative of the people in Arizona.
00:18:32.520
Remember, the liberals have told us that the press, they're the fourth estate.
00:18:35.940
They're the brave, intrepid journalists who speak truth to power.
00:18:39.700
They're the most wonderful people in the world.
00:18:42.320
Except when they have questions that are inconvenient for the Democrats.
00:18:55.040
Well, I just said it because we have you on video doing it.
00:19:06.820
At some periods of politics, things are kind of normal, and people basically agree.
00:19:17.780
We've had moments of this kind of a consensus in American history not even all that long ago.
00:19:22.960
And so the two parties aren't all that different, and it's easy to work across the aisle.
00:19:27.560
And sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat.
00:19:30.560
Because, listen, we all salute the same flag, and we all pray to the same God, and we all love our country.
00:19:43.280
The conservatives salute the star-spangled banner.
00:19:45.880
The libs salute the rainbow, which is increasingly gaining colors seemingly by the hour.
00:19:59.940
Liberals pray to Reiki and crystals and astrology and the trans-gnosticism and sometimes explicitly to the devil.
00:20:15.740
And at the very least, they pray to themselves, the cult of the self.
00:20:24.500
Conservatives certainly speak in a way that is patriotic.
00:20:30.420
The libs say that America was founded as an evil country.
00:20:35.740
It tells you the country was founded to preserve slavery.
0.90
00:20:37.800
And even though that's not true, we're still going to publish it.
00:20:42.220
We've got to erase the borders, get rid of the country.
0.99
00:20:46.300
In that framework, you can't just kind of work together and reach across the aisle.
00:20:54.220
In that framework, someone's got to win and someone's got to lose.
00:20:57.440
We've talked now for a few weeks, really, I guess, since my CPAC speech,
00:21:01.600
about how on some issues you can find a conciliatory middle ground.
00:21:05.160
On some issues you can't because you'll just end up splitting the baby.
00:21:09.560
On some issues that involve mutually contradictory principles, you've got to pick a side.
00:21:19.640
Now, I know that when you hold a barbecue for your friends,
00:21:25.320
But to have that barbecue, you've got to have a full propane tank.
00:21:37.420
The last thing you need to be doing when getting ready to host guests is driving around worrying

This Saturday, we are releasing a new episode of the Yes or No game
00:22:37.560
Great sitting down with David, Jake, and Blaine
00:22:46.440
Being naked in the shower with a bunch of dudes is totally not gay
0.98
00:22:50.480
as long as it's after a long day horsing around in the hot sun on a sports team.
00:22:55.680
Well, I thought you were going to say if the lights are off,
00:22:59.120
I would say either yes, it's gay, or no, it's not gay.
0.79
00:23:19.980
We take on the really important issues, as you can tell.
00:23:23.060
By the way, there's been a run on dailywire.com slash shop.
00:23:26.480
Our current stock of Yes or No, the game is about to sell out.
00:23:30.500
You are buying them faster than we can make them.
00:23:32.740
This was true the first time that we produced the most wonderful game
00:23:38.320
And it seems to be true for the second run, too.
00:23:40.460
Even though we tried to multiply the order by four or five this time,
00:23:45.580
So, act now for your last chance to bring the fun home
00:23:49.500
Like the rest of the hoi polloi who have not secured a game,
0.99
00:23:55.460
Also, Crane & Cope is hosting a 2023 NFL Draft live stream tonight,
00:24:02.060
They'll be taking bets, providing in-depth analysis on draft picks
00:24:05.380
in the upcoming season, as well as having some special guests.
00:24:13.260
if they hit 100,000 subscribers during the stream.
00:24:18.760
Speaking of sports, Mayor Pete, Transportation Secretary Pete,
00:24:25.420
he has had it with all this talk about transgenderism in sports, okay?
00:24:31.580
Mayor Pete, he's got a lot of important work to do.
00:24:34.340
And all this talk about how men shouldn't be put on the women's sports teams,
00:24:40.340
well, that's preventing him from building bridges.
00:24:43.320
Well, I do think that the culture wars are getting in the way sometimes.
00:24:47.880
I mean, just the other day, I was testifying in the appropriations subcommittee
00:24:53.340
explaining how our budget was going to help with things like railroad safety,
00:24:58.360
air traffic control, and other transportation needs.
00:25:00.900
And we had to take a break so that they could all go and vote on a bill
00:25:04.020
to kick transgender teenagers off of sports teams.
0.83
00:25:08.320
That was the priority for the House GOP that day.
00:25:11.600
So these things really are getting in the way of our ability to get work done.
00:25:15.340
We're literally building bridges, and they're literally banning books.
00:25:21.520
The other day, I was testifying about all the things that I've implausibly screwed up
00:25:29.400
It's the easiest job in the whole government, and I somehow managed to blow it.
00:25:32.060
So we were talking about all the train derailments under my watch and all of the many supply chain
00:25:37.140
problems and just everything that possibly could have gone wrong going wrong under my watch.
00:25:42.740
We had to take a break so that these terrible Republicans could go and protect women and
1.00
00:25:50.140
young girls from getting concussions because they're being forced to compete against burly
00:25:54.980
men on the volleyball team and, well, on the track team and on all sorts of teams where
00:25:59.740
the men are then taking their trophies and scholarships.
00:26:05.740
And then I had to take a two-month break so I could go chest feed.
00:26:15.460
I guess I've got a little more hope and confidence in the government.
00:26:19.360
It seems to me that the Congress can protect the rights of women and girls while at the
00:26:26.880
same time you run the train tracks and the roads and the bridges without all of them collapsing.
00:26:38.320
I think it's even easier than walking and chewing gum at the same time.
00:26:44.500
We can't build bridges anymore because the Republicans are protecting young girls.
0.86
00:27:00.640
We've got, okay, I guess this administration can't do much of anything at all.
00:27:03.380
But other administrations have dealt with these issues.
00:27:06.220
They do lots of different things at different times.
00:27:08.680
It's not very convincing that you can't build bridges while protecting girls.
00:27:20.140
Buttigieg realizes that the best course of action on the transgender issue is deflection.
0.77
00:27:27.520
This is why my debate opponent at the University of Pittsburgh debate, sponsored by ISI, this
00:27:33.520
is why he pulled out at the very last minute, is because he's got all sorts of fancy degrees.
00:27:39.160
He's probably the most erudite, best-educated person in the country to debate this issue.
00:27:44.040
And he realized at the last moment that even he, with all that fancy academic background,
00:27:52.360
He had to concede before the debate took place rather than lose in front of C-SPAN's cameras.
00:27:59.060
ISI at that point reached out to something like a dozen pro-trans libs.
00:28:04.880
We finally got a guy who identifies as a right-winger, Brad Palumbo, to defend a far more moderate
00:28:11.160
position than was initially supposed to be the topic of the debate.
00:28:19.040
No one, like the Biden administration, who is going further and saying, we need to trans the kids.
00:28:24.400
We need to stop states from protecting kids against the trans procedures.
1.00
00:28:39.900
Don't pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
00:28:42.200
Now, speaking of the culture war issues, Nikki Haley running for president, certainly in the more
00:28:54.740
She was asked about Disney, which has been under fire, for transing the kids, for opposing
00:29:03.600
a Florida law that would make it harder for people to trans the kids.
0.98
00:29:12.700
This is obviously dramatically escalating the feud between Disney and Ron DeSantis.
00:29:17.900
They're alleging that the Republican governor has waged a, quote, relentless campaign to
00:29:26.920
What is your reaction to that, as we still have yet to see him jump officially into the
00:29:32.940
You know, as governor, I took a double-digit unemployment state and I turned it into an
00:29:38.340
Businesses were my partners, because if you take care of your businesses, you take care
00:29:42.360
of your economy, your economy takes care of the people, and everyone wins.
00:29:48.520
We are, South Carolina was a very anti-woke state.
00:29:53.180
And if Disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to South Carolina and
00:29:57.520
bring the billions of dollars with them, I'll let them know.
00:29:59.920
I'll be happy to meet them in South Carolina and introduce them to the governor and the
00:30:06.100
Everyone is saying this is a huge mistake, and this is the defining moment of Haley's
00:30:17.600
Yes, Nikki just articulated a very unpopular stance.
1.00
00:30:21.660
It's a stance that is out of step with where the GOP is right now.
00:30:25.580
I don't think the GOP wants to hear about how these woke corporations should be invited
00:30:33.140
into our states to bring a lot of jobs and money and drive the economy.
0.89
00:30:37.980
I think the GOP wants to hear more about how politicians are going to throw their power
00:30:42.380
around to bully the corporations into cutting out their unjust practices, such as transing
1.00
00:30:49.920
the kids, trying to overturn laws passed by the people's representatives to stop transing
0.92
00:30:55.380
Okay, I agree with that part of it, but I'm not convinced this is a huge mistake for Nikki.
00:31:05.520
Nikki is running in the business Republican kind of lane.
1.00
00:31:12.140
Let's pay a little less attention to these culture war issues.
0.57
00:31:20.800
If Nikki tries to compete on wielding the government to wage the culture war, and she's trying to
1.00
00:31:26.920
compete against Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, she's going to come up short.
0.99
00:31:32.140
We're in a really weird year where a one-term incumbent is running for re-election.
00:31:36.660
So even if she were just running against Trump, a brash cultural figure, she and everyone else
00:31:42.460
would come up short. But especially you've got her running against Ron DeSantis, who is the subject
00:31:48.400
here, who is wielding the government, specifically against Disney. So she's got to give herself some
00:31:53.820
differentiation. And I don't know what the calculus was from the campaign or from Nikki herself,
00:32:01.160
but just looking at this as an observer, I think what she's saying is, okay, political wins can change.
00:32:06.940
And right now we're in a moment where the GOP base really wants to wield the government,
00:32:11.560
really wants to hit these woke corporations. But the wins might change. Political wins have
00:32:16.660
changed more quickly at other times in history. And so if that happens, and if Trump falters,
00:32:23.060
and if DeSantis falters, then I am going to be over here as an alternative candidate. Does that mean
00:32:29.600
that Nikki is suddenly going to jump up in the polls and is going to become the favorite to win the
00:32:33.680
White House? No. But from where she stands in the race, I'm not convinced this is the worst
00:32:38.640
position to adopt. It's just an alternative if things change dramatically. Now, speaking of Ron
00:32:48.680
DeSantis, Ron DeSantis is doubling down on his position, which is now we got to bring Disney
00:32:55.920
into line. He says there's nothing conservative about deferring to corporations.
00:33:01.240
I just think as conservatives, you know, it's not conservative to just simply defer to every
00:33:08.900
corporation in America. That's being a corporatist. And so when I have to, when I have to look and see
00:33:15.660
in the state of Florida, you know, are we being governed appropriately? Are we advancing the rule
00:33:20.600
of law? And I have to take on a company like Disney, you know, a corporatist would say that you have to
00:33:27.460
give Disney everything at once. Well, in reality, Disney was enjoying unprecedented privileges and
00:33:34.660
subsidies. They controlled their own government in central Florida. They were exempt from laws that
00:33:40.060
virtually everybody else had to follow. They had great tax breaks. They were even able to rack up
00:33:44.540
debt. No single entity or individual in the state of Florida enjoyed such privileges. And, you know,
00:33:51.820
that's not good government. That's not free enterprise. But it's certainly even worse when
00:33:57.560
a company takes all those privileges that have been bestowed over many, many decades and uses that
00:34:03.340
to wage war on state policy regarding families and children. This is where the conservatives are
00:34:10.580
right now. This is where the Republicans are right now. I also happen to think this is the correct
00:34:15.800
right approach. What DeSantis is saying is, look, it's not that we hate business. It's not that we
00:34:21.620
want to destroy the economy. We just want to put business in its proper place. And there's a tradition
00:34:29.000
of this critique on the right. This is not a totally new idea. You might say that Ron DeSantis is a
00:34:34.900
business second Republican. He's not a business first Republican. He's a business second Republican.
00:34:40.200
Yeah, you want thriving businesses for the end of a good flourishing society. There was a famous
00:34:46.540
essay by Irving Kristol, the better Kristol, the far superior Kristol compared to his son,
00:34:53.160
Bill Kristol. And Irving Kristol had an essay called Two Cheers for Capitalism.
00:34:59.360
Not quite three cheers, but two cheers. We want a thriving economy. We want prosperity. We want people to
00:35:05.540
have their material needs taken care of. But we don't want to worship mammon. We don't want to
1.00
00:35:09.080
pretend that political society is simply to serve the economy and to serve GDP. And that corporations
00:35:14.560
can do no wrong even when they want to trans the kids. No. Two cheers for capitalism. Business second.
1.00
00:35:25.020
America first, really God first. And if you put God first, then you're going to have a healthy sense
00:35:32.960
of patriotism. You're going to have a strong support for your family, a love of your community,
00:35:37.980
and the basic building block of your political community, which is your family. And patriotism
00:35:42.840
is an extension of that filial piety that you have. And all of this flows one from the other.
00:35:51.000
But then when you start to get these things out of order and you say, no, actually my family is just
00:35:56.300
a kind of an economic unit. And our country, it's really just a space where a bunch of producers and
00:36:03.380
worker bees and consumers all happen to live together so that we can tick up that GDP. And
00:36:08.420
that's all that matters and forget about the culture. Then things start to go a little bit
00:36:12.760
haywire. In stores all across America, prices are going up for the things you love, but not
00:36:19.600
at the Daily Wire store, okay? Because we try to keep the economy in its proper place and things in
00:36:25.060
order. And so we know how to balance these things. Right now, you can get a huge discount on some

00:37:26.640
Do you get it? We got a lot of Henny Youngman one-liners today, don't we?
00:37:35.660
But speaking of the transgender issue and the economy and private industry,
00:37:40.420
it's a story I was meaning to get to a little bit earlier. I'm glad we have a little time to get to it
00:37:44.300
now. Are you familiar with Eggard Watches? Probably you're not. It's a relatively small
00:37:49.900
watch company. Well, they just, over the last week or two, put out an ad for their watches.
00:37:57.540
I love watches. Watches are a pretty simple thing, though. It tells the time.
00:38:01.360
What is the ad about? The ad has nothing to do with watches and everything to do with our culture.
00:38:07.840
When I was a little girl, I had this dream that seemed so impossible.
00:38:16.220
I was going to be the fastest runner in the world.
00:38:23.280
I got this little nugget of an idea from my dad.
00:38:27.200
Very standard, kind of commercial, aspirational.
00:38:33.080
And I believed him. He made me feel invincible.
00:38:38.360
It wasn't easy. I trained hard, harder than anyone else I know.
00:38:43.740
All right, girl power, right? That's supposed to be the conclusion.
0.97
00:38:46.020
I was an unstoppable force. A life dedicated to perfection.
00:38:52.120
Perfection. Buy these watches. We could have this perfection.
00:39:09.120
Transgender woman who last year competed as a man wins the NCAA track.

Fallon Fox, how many skulls need to be cracked by transgenders?
1.00
00:39:38.020
Very standard, but then it's strength, courage, determination.
00:39:41.560
It won't really matter if we're living in a system of injustice that allows men to pummel women
0.99
00:39:48.740
figuratively and literally in sports by our watches.
00:39:55.940
They could have had a tie-in, which is we know what time it is here at Agard Watches
00:40:04.700
But Agard is selling their opposition to leftism, transgenderism, wokeism, liberalism,
00:40:20.220
If I were in the market to buy one of these watches and I were debating between a company
00:40:26.000
that either wanted to trans the kids, certainly, or even a company that were kind of silent on
00:40:31.720
this and Agard Watches, and I basically like the designs all the same, I would totally
00:40:38.300
Right now, if I am forced to drink some crappy light beer, because, I don't know, they ran
00:40:43.760
out of Mango Whiteclaw or something at the bar, and I've got to pick between Bud Light
00:40:48.180
and almost any other beer company, I'm going to pick almost any other beer company.
00:40:52.300
Even though in the past, I previously would have ordered Bud Light.
00:40:54.820
Not even because I like it that much, just because it's there, it's easy, it's cheap.
00:40:57.700
I remember it from college parties, which is the main use, I think, of Bud Light.
00:41:06.380
I am done giving my money to corporations that hate me and that want to pursue policies that
1.00
00:41:13.260
are not just stupid and inefficient, but downright evil.
1.00
00:41:17.380
I know it's difficult to totally stop doing that, because in our economy, everything is
00:41:22.860
so intertwined that you are going to, many times during a day, have to participate with
00:41:31.740
But in as much as we have a conscious choice, in as much as we see it in a commercial, yeah,
00:41:40.540
A conservative social media influencer came out after Bud Light, and he said, I'm launching
00:41:46.480
And it sounds a little bit familiar, by the way.
00:41:48.680
America's been drinking beer from a company that doesn't even know which restroom to use.
1.00
00:41:58.280
That's why I created Conservative Dad's Ultra-Right 100% Woke-Free Beer.
00:42:05.140
As conservatives, we're constantly getting hit in the face, left and right, by the Woke
00:42:15.260
If you know which bathroom to use, you know what beer you should be drinking.
00:42:18.180
Stop giving money to woke corporations that hate our values.
0.97
00:42:27.220
And to the rest of you woke corporations, stay the **** away from our kids.

Buy yours online in 42 states at ultrarightbeer.com.
00:42:45.880
Okay, now I can't help but notice, can't help but notice that this commercial looks and
00:42:53.160
And where have I seen this kind of cadence and shot structure and premise for a company
00:42:59.040
I may have seen it at a razor company or at a chocolate company, or I don't know, I keep
00:43:06.300
And then to start 20 more companies after that, once these liberals keep screwing up all of
00:43:20.060
What does it mean that we've got companies now following the Jeremy's model?
00:43:28.200
In some cases, almost shot for shot in the commercials.
00:43:38.840
I love that we are seeing other conservatives come out and say, I want to do exactly what
00:43:44.660
Because when the Daily Wire launched Jeremy's Razors, a lot of people said, well, this is
00:43:51.320
Why is a media company launching a consumer products razor subscription service?
00:44:02.880
You're limiting your audience by being so explicitly political, blah, blah, blah.
0.99
00:44:07.620
And then we sold about a bazillion Razors.
0.99
00:44:09.440
And a lot of other conservatives and just non-far-left people around the country looked at that
00:44:18.840
And when you see those two ads, that is a vote of confidence in the alternative economy.
00:44:26.060
That is a vote of confidence in people who are not just saying, I hope that some conservative
00:44:33.060
That's people putting their money where their mouth is, saying, no, I think this is a good
00:44:39.360
And we've seen this proven time and time again.
00:44:41.760
And if Bud Light or Maybelline or even these supposedly right-wing cable news businesses think
00:44:51.660
that they can just continue to spit in the face of conservatives as they have in the past
00:44:56.440
pretty much without consequence, I think they're in for a rude awakening.
00:45:02.060
The media landscape can change very, very quickly.
00:45:06.540
And I think we're in one of those periods of transition.
00:45:10.520
Before we go, we may have another presidential candidate.
00:45:15.000
Seems like every day we've got a new presidential candidate.
00:45:19.540
Christy Noem, who's the governor of South Dakota, was just on Sean Hannity's show.
00:45:24.080
Sean asked the question that I think you got to ask every single Republican politician today.
00:45:29.600
There is a lot of talk that you might be considering getting in to the presidential race, the nominating
00:45:37.580
Are you considering in any way, shape, matter, form a run for the presidency?
00:45:45.580
But I'll tell you, this country cannot afford four more years of Joe Biden.
00:45:50.220
So we need new leadership and leadership that loves this country, not one that is clearly
00:45:58.740
I don't know if it's going to do you any good, but you sure can.
00:46:08.500
But also, Sean, we've got so many people that are talking about it and running that I think
00:46:14.260
it's best if I stay focused where I am and continue to visit with my family and pray
00:46:18.900
and do the best thing that we think is right for our family, but then also still continue
00:46:24.600
to serve this country because we need people that'll step up and do hard things these days
00:46:29.760
So if I had an answer that was clear, I'd give it to you today.
00:46:35.940
Now, I'm good on Sean for pushing back a little bit.
00:46:53.680
Obviously, she's been signaling that she wants to run for president for some years now.
00:46:58.340
And Christy Noem is kind of in the middle of the moderate wing of the party, the centrist
00:47:04.600
wing and the conservative wing, and she's gone back and forth between those two wings
00:47:11.200
So she might be running in a third lane, which is the lane between Trump and DeSantis on one
00:47:16.440
side and Tim Scott and Nikki Haley on the other side.
00:47:19.740
And she might just think it's a little too crowded, so I'm going to stay out.
00:47:22.380
But if she sees light, she is obviously running.
00:47:26.260
Now, we have got an interview that I'm very, very excited for in the member block.
00:47:30.580
This is an interview that I've been trying to set up for a while.
00:47:33.880
I mentioned it some weeks ago when a Daily Wire reporter told me about one of the dark
00:47:41.520
secrets of the transgender movement, which is that one of the drivers of transgenderism,
0.99
00:47:45.780
it's not just what kids are being taught in school.
00:47:51.880
It's not just, I don't know, the plastics in the water turning the frickin' frogs gay.
0.97
00:47:55.680
That pornography is a big driver of the explosion of transgender identity.
