A Texas school district is now requiring students to provide a birth certificate
00:00:34.980
before auditioning for the Texas Boys' Choir or the Singing Girls of Texas.
00:00:41.600
We are not permitted on a certain big tech video platform to articulate the precise ideological reason
00:00:50.660
for which they are now requiring birth certificates for boys' and girls' choirs.
00:00:58.260
And you can hear more at Daily Wire Plus and the RSS feed and Twitter, MNOLS Show.
00:01:04.580
And actually, actually, that particular ideology is not even the most depressing part of this story.
00:01:12.380
Sadder even than recent eccentric theorizing is the clearly collapsing rates of social trust.
00:01:21.140
We have observed this trend in society for years.
00:01:25.960
Your grandparents didn't used to lock their doors.
00:01:28.860
You have security systems and cameras filming from your doorbell 24-7.
00:01:33.300
Your grandparents trusted your parents to their children's teachers.
00:01:38.020
Today, if you're a sane parent, what that means is you've probably strongly considered homeschooling,
00:01:49.480
Now to the point that little kids need to carry notarized government documents to sing in chorus in school.
00:01:58.660
Our society no longer agrees on the most basic facts of life.
00:02:02.700
We no longer speak the same language with which to communicate these facts of life.
00:02:24.040
In just a moment, some lady I've never heard of sings about how much she hates America by rewriting the national anthem.
00:02:29.640
We'll get to that, and we'll get to what that means in just a moment.
00:02:31.960
First, though, I said that opening, that's the sort of opening that can remain on a certain big tech video platform
00:02:38.800
without being kicked off and having us cast into outer darkness where there's wailing and gnashing of teeth.
00:02:43.580
This part can't stay on that particular social media platform because the biggest, shocking, most breaking news story of the day, of course,
00:03:02.520
America is really split on a lot of topics when it comes to voting, but this Bud Light really seems to send a chasm right down the middle in terms of talking to folks.
00:03:12.500
We went to Nashville. We went to Nashville. We even talked to a bar in Chicago.
00:03:15.840
One bar was telling us basically they're not going to serve it because they don't like the way Dylan Mulvaney was treated after this whole controversy started.
00:03:24.540
He, of course, is the transgender person they were going to sponsor and go along with Bud Light.
00:03:30.720
They didn't like how Bud Light didn't stand by him after all this.
00:03:34.040
This is so much better than when I refer to Dylan Mulvaney by his proper pronouns, him and he and his, call him a man.
00:03:54.100
And this guy, I don't know what this reporter's name is, he clearly wasn't intending to dispute transgender ideology.
00:04:03.000
He clearly wasn't intending to call this obvious man who thinks that he's a woman or pretends to be a woman, a man.
00:04:09.480
He just did it naturally because we all know he's a man.
00:04:14.240
Every single person, the transgenderists more than anybody know that these people are, they're real sex, not the sex they're pretending to be.
00:04:22.280
And so when they get caught falling into natural speech patterns and accidentally acknowledging reality,
00:04:29.780
it is a level five, DEFCON 27 level catastrophe.
00:04:46.660
Before we wrap up today, we do want to make an important note.
00:04:50.480
Yesterday in a segment about transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who was featured in Bud Light's recent campaign,
00:04:58.220
she was mistakenly referred to by the wrong pronoun.
00:05:01.400
And CNN aims to honor individuals' ways of identifying themselves.
00:05:09.560
We would like to assure you that reporter and all of us here at CNN have undergone a re-education training.
00:05:16.660
We salute our great, glorious leader, Dylan Mulvaney.
00:05:20.700
And we will never again refer to men by the pronouns he or him.
00:05:29.340
And now I will commit ritual seppuku on the air.
00:05:32.900
So evil was it of me not to accept transgenderism.
00:05:37.980
That is the degree of ritual mania that we have fallen to in this country.
00:05:50.320
North Korean state television seems much more honest than CNN.
00:06:00.220
Even they use the fake transgender pronouns and all of that.
00:06:04.820
This is out of a, I was going to say a horror movie.
00:06:13.340
Well, if you follow his social media feeds, which I do not, but I sometimes see them float around Twitter.
00:06:19.320
Dylan Mulvaney has fled the country because he feels so unsafe.
00:06:22.980
Presumably because CNN anchors occasionally accidentally slip into reality.
00:06:38.920
I'm here by myself and I used to do a ton of solo traveling.
00:06:43.540
If you could ever do a solo trip somewhere, it is such a good way to get to know yourself better.
00:06:48.380
Um, but I came here to feel something, you know what I mean?
00:06:54.140
I've done shaman ceremonies that were like 10 years worth of therapy.
00:06:59.900
Um, I've seen a lot of llamas and the people here are so kind.
00:07:05.040
It's a little sad that I had to leave my country to feel safe, but that will get better eventually.
00:07:09.140
And I am dying for some Trader Joe's rolled chili lime chips.
00:07:15.520
Still haven't been kissed yet, but I'm holding out hope.
00:07:19.200
And most of all, you know, this trip has just has me feeling like I'm my own best friend again.
00:07:27.220
And I hope that you feel that way about yourself too.
00:07:43.820
I'll make one little joke about it, which is Dylan Mulvaney has presented this as him fleeing America because America is so awful towards sexually eccentric people that he's got to flee to Peru.
00:07:58.380
Which has much more restrictive laws about these sexual eccentricities, by the way.
00:08:01.760
They don't have as strong a government, I guess.
00:08:16.240
Another term for what Dylan Mulvaney is doing is called going on vacation in July.
00:08:21.980
Dylan Mulvaney is going to a nearby exotic place and traveling to one of the most desired tourist attractions in the world and taking in some sights at Machu Picchu.
00:08:36.900
But even that, even going on vacation in July, which is something a great many people do, even that in Dylan Mulvaney's world has to be extraordinarily dramatic and fantastical and adventurous and unique.
00:08:50.040
But the uniqueness is what's really sad about this.
00:08:53.140
And it's why I actually don't want to make fun of him.
00:08:55.020
Because he's just lost in a very isolated, alienated view of the world.
00:09:14.020
But he says, oh, yeah, I always used to travel alone.
00:09:19.020
People who spend all of their lives talking into a camera, this is kind of ironic coming from me because I do this for my job.
00:09:25.120
But I mean, people who do it obsessively, compulsively, because of personal desire, not because they're working towards something or they're part of a political movement.
00:09:36.940
Very often, those are not the most social people.
00:09:44.260
That's very sad if you are your own best friend.
00:09:47.540
A man wrapped up in himself makes a small package indeed.
00:09:55.320
And there are a lot of lonely people out there.
00:09:58.640
But then in that case, and I guess ultimately for all of us, God ought to be our best friend because God is the source and summit of all of our good.
00:10:07.280
So when you're sitting apparently alone, if you are a religious person who recognizes spiritual reality, recognizes that we didn't just pop into existence out of nowhere,
00:10:16.080
but that there is an intelligent being who loves us, who created us in the entire cosmos.
00:10:22.120
That can give one a great sense of comfort and belonging and love, even when one physically appears to be alone.
00:10:31.440
But if you don't have any of that stuff, and if you've just turned yourself away from the God who calls himself I am that I am,
00:10:37.500
you're going to be left with a pathetic question, which is who am I?
00:10:40.300
And you're going to fall prey to all sorts of bizarre identities and ideologies, as Dylan Mulvaney obviously has.
00:10:50.780
We've all made a lot of jokes about Dylan Mulvaney, and he's invited a lot of it, and he's encouraged a lot of it, and he's made a fair amount of money on all of it.
00:10:57.360
But you're beginning to see the Dylan Mulvaney brand really turn a corner.
00:11:01.500
Bud Light was the big turn there, where brands saw, oh, goodness gracious, there's a cost sometimes to embracing the LGBT ideology.
00:11:09.300
And specifically, there's a cost to embracing Dylan Mulvaney, and they're going to start to back away.
00:11:14.060
He's still going to get sponsorship deals, he's still going to make some money.
00:11:16.680
But I think you've seen peak Mulvaney, and now things are beginning to look a little bit darker.
00:11:22.840
He's obviously trying to garner some more attention by broadcasting his vacation in Machu Picchu.
00:11:27.320
But it's hard to see how this ends well for anybody, when you've alienated yourself so much from ideology,
00:11:36.020
and when you've become so self-obsessed that you have denied even the complementarity of the sexes,
00:11:44.460
And you've said, no, I am my own complementary sex, and I am my own best friend, and I am all that I need.
00:11:50.540
Well, if you pursue selfishness in your view of the world and in your indulgence of desire to that degree,
00:11:59.900
you're ultimately going to be deeply unsatisfied.
00:12:06.420
Now, when you want to protect yourself, it's an okay transition, and not my best transition.
00:12:18.180
Profiling, surveillance, and data harvesting are a few things that you probably don't like very much about the tech giants.
00:12:23.800
What can you actually do about it when you rely on so many of their products?
00:12:28.400
Well, the good news is, it doesn't take much for you to take a stand.
00:12:31.540
For less than seven bucks per month, you can join me and fight back against big tech by using ExpressVPN.
00:12:37.580
How do you think big tech companies make all their money anyway?
00:12:40.140
Well, by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, and then selling your personal data.
00:12:47.820
ExpressVPN helps you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address,
00:12:52.600
a unique identifier that every device has that allows big tech to match your activity back to you.
00:12:58.600
That is why ExpressVPN is the only VPN that I use and trust on all of the devices
00:13:03.640
to make it much more difficult for them to exploit my data for their own profits.
00:13:08.860
And the best part is, it's so easy, even I can use it.
00:13:12.420
You just click one button on your phone, on your computer, on your tablet.
00:13:15.320
Turns it on, keeps people out of your business.

Speaking of fleeing things, if you were on YouTube and you didn't catch what I was just
00:13:33.360
talking about, you got to go to the RSS feed in Daily Wire Plus and Twitter at M. Knoll's
00:13:38.220
show to see what segment was just cut out there.
00:13:40.440
But speaking of fleeing things, President Trump appears to be fleeing the early presidential
00:13:47.800
Here is his advisor, Jason Miller, going on TV explaining why the president's probably
00:13:52.460
And at the moment, President Trump has indicated that he's unlikely to participate, at least
00:14:00.480
And even new polling shows he's up by almost 50% in certain places.
00:14:05.220
It really wouldn't make much sense for him to go and debate right now with a bunch of
00:14:10.420
Even Ron DeSantis, who's the second place candidate in the race currently, is at least 20, 30,
00:14:17.320
And so ultimately, President Trump will make a decision as we get closer.
00:14:20.540
He has not said anything definitive one way or the other.
00:14:26.560
Top advisor to Trump saying, I'm not, or rather, Trump is not likely to go to the debates.
00:14:41.060
So there seems to be evidence he's going to make good on this threat.
00:14:44.140
Trump's critics in the Republican Party, liberal Republicans like Chris Sununu in New Hampshire,
00:14:49.260
they are pouncing on Trump and saying he looks like a wimp.
00:14:53.820
Former President Trump, the tough guy, the guy that says he's going to fight for America
00:14:57.360
and fights for, but he's not willing to stand up.
00:14:59.400
He's going to wimp out, wimp out and not get on that debate stage.
00:15:04.900
He's going to wimp out that, that clown, that child, that coward.
00:15:16.720
I don't want you to shoot the messenger here, okay?
00:15:21.500
I have told you I do my level best not to endorse in primary campaigns.
00:15:26.820
I think I might be the only conservative pundit in America right now who is not actively working
00:15:33.200
I like pretty much all of the candidates in the field.
00:15:36.680
I know a great number of them personally, and I have a great deal of respect for all
00:15:41.300
of the ones that I know and even for some of the ones that I don't know.
00:15:49.020
You can be angry about these political facts on the ground.
00:15:57.140
I've got the RealClearPolitics average of polling.
00:16:00.000
Trump is up, according to the RCP average, Trump is up 32.4 points.
00:16:06.900
Now, the RCP average is a very reliable, fairly conservative average of polls that includes
00:16:13.180
Morning Consult, Economist YouGov, Fox, Emerson, NBC, Yahoo, Harvard Harris, CNN,
00:16:25.960
Harvard Harris has him up 45 points over the rest of the field.
00:16:34.740
So with a commanding lead like that, that he does not appear to be losing.
00:16:40.240
In fact, his lead only appears to either remain the same or to be increasing as his most intense
00:16:46.580
and serious primary challenger seems to be losing ground.
00:16:56.200
They demand the right to see the candidates debate.
00:17:00.560
If those poll numbers start to change, then that will indicate that the voters are demanding
00:17:04.900
But as of now, the voters seem to be extraordinarily supportive of Trump without seeing him debate
00:17:13.960
Well, maybe you think they should demand it, but they're not demanding it right now.
00:17:20.520
Maybe you would prefer that Trump get on the debate stage.
00:17:24.200
I would prefer it in many ways because it would give me more content for my show, and I'm sure
00:17:30.020
But there is no moral imperative for Donald Trump to engage in a primary debate, and there
00:17:36.700
is no law that says he has to do it, and there is no particular rule in the Republican
00:17:44.620
I'm sure the Republican Party would prefer that he do it, but don't forget, Trump engaged
00:17:50.420
Trump doesn't give a damn what the party apparatchiks want.
00:17:53.880
If the other candidates want Donald Trump to debate, they have to create the political
00:18:01.820
And the way to create those political circumstances is to knock his poll numbers down.
00:18:06.680
If the other candidates cannot knock his poll numbers down, then Trump showing up on that
00:18:21.200
Candidates have one goal in a campaign, and that is to win the race.
00:18:30.680
The race is for the Republican Party nomination.
00:18:34.440
You might say, well, I just think Trump's not going to be a good general election candidate.
00:18:43.820
And if enough voters think that he looks cowardly for ditching the debates, that will be reflected
00:18:47.620
in the polls, and then he will be forced to engage in the later debates.
00:18:56.160
I'm just telling you why it is the case that Trump is inclined not to engage in the debate.
00:19:02.640
He has very little to gain and quite a lot to lose.
00:19:06.340
Now, on the other side of this, look at the Democratic Party.
00:19:09.740
Joe Biden is up 54 points on his next most serious primary rival, RFK Jr.
00:19:15.860
So this is a Kennedy, albeit a somewhat kooky one.
00:19:19.400
This is a mainstream Democrat who's been in public life for a long time.
00:19:25.040
Trump is not quite up 54 points, but he's up a similar amount on his nearest primary
00:19:31.520
And don't forget, there are three candidates right now in the Democrat field.
00:19:34.000
It's Biden, Bobby Kennedy, and Marianne Williamson, who's much lower.
00:19:38.800
However, if Biden's not going to debate, which he almost certainly is not, then why would Trump
00:19:44.040
Well, you might say, well, because Biden is the incumbent, and Trump's not the incumbent.
00:19:52.460
We have not had a one-term president run for a rematch in over 130 years.
00:19:59.140
The last president to do it was Grover Cleveland.
00:20:02.720
It's only happened once in American history that a president won non-consecutive terms.
00:20:07.580
So I grant you, Trump is not literally the incumbent here.
00:20:13.920
But practically speaking, for most intents and purposes, Trump is the incumbent.
00:20:21.680
You might say, well, he shouldn't be treated that way.
00:20:25.040
That's not, I'm not telling you what should or should be, whatever.
00:20:29.380
I am describing to you why the circumstances in this primary are different from the other
00:20:35.300
You can like that, you can not like that, you can pull your hair out and scream to the
00:20:40.500
If you don't accept those political realities, you're going to become increasingly frustrated
00:20:49.380
Speaking of learning things, when you want to learn stuff, you got to check out Hillsdale
00:20:57.640
Are you a few years or maybe a few decades out of school and wondering, what did I even learn?
00:21:04.280
You might think to yourself that you don't have the time to learn something new.
00:21:07.460
Well, if that's you, then know this, you're not alone.
00:21:10.960
Since 1844, Hillsdale College has been providing education in faith, freedom, and character.

You know, you might have been one of the tens of millions of people who watched Netflix's

If so, you're going to love Daily Wire Plus' new exclusive 10-part docuseries with Candace
00:22:08.160
Owens, convicting a murderer coming this summer.
00:22:11.220
Whether it's exposing BLM or certain fallacies in the healthcare industry regarding COVID,
00:22:15.120
Candace has never been afraid to challenge the narrative.
00:22:19.920
When Candace found out that key facts may have been omitted in Netflix's series, she
00:22:24.400
set out to uncover the real story behind the notorious Stephen Avery case.

00:22:46.700
Speaking of the 2024 primary, looks like we might get a new presidential candidate on the
00:22:57.440
West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, who is probably the single most moderate Democrat
00:23:03.100
in the country, certainly at the federal level, along with Kyrsten Sinema, and really more than
00:23:09.600
Joe Manchin is also the most vulnerable senator looking at re-election next year.
00:23:15.660
So you got a Republican challenger who's way up on Joe Manchin right now.
00:23:27.100
He's going to be at an event sponsored by a group called No Labels.
00:23:30.400
No Labels is this kind of squishy middle ground group, which pretends that losing political
00:23:42.440
We should have no clarity in our political process.
00:23:45.080
We should just all be part of the uniparty, is the real meaning of their phrase.
00:23:50.420
But they think it sounds nice because they think it sounds nonpartisan and not nasty and
00:23:56.020
And so this would be a natural place for Joe Manchin to go.
00:23:58.300
And he's campaigning with them to potentially consider a third-party presidential ticket on the
00:24:07.020
The Republican governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, is leading Manchin in a hypothetical
00:24:14.600
He's absolutely destroying Manchin right now because the people of West Virginia are pretty
00:24:21.940
So you got the last remaining blue dog Democrats, conservative Democrats, are there.
00:24:31.580
Those are increasingly pulling in different directions.
00:24:35.620
And so it opens a wide window for a Republican like Jim Justice to come in and beat Manchin.
00:24:44.020
His only option, really, if he wants to continue his political career, is either to suck up to
00:24:49.840
Joe Biden to try to get an appointment in a hypothetical second term or to run for president
00:24:56.800
I mention the story not because I think Joe Manchin is going to be president or the Democrat
00:25:02.080
I mention it because it shows the point on the Republican debates, which is that politicians
00:25:19.020
They're going to go where their opportunity is.
00:25:28.340
This is true in impelling so much of our action.
00:25:34.800
And this is especially true for national-level politicians who are extremely ambitious men.
00:25:40.120
So if you want to impel a different kind of behavior, if you don't want Joe Manchin to
00:25:47.460
run for president, well, then you've got to give him another option to maintain his political
00:25:51.620
career, if you want Donald Trump to engage in the first primary debates, well, you need
00:25:55.400
to create the political circumstances that will force him to do that, whether by damaging
00:26:00.140
his poll numbers, changing some rules with the RNC that's never going to work, or something
00:26:06.040
But you can't just whine and say, oh, no, why are circumstances the way that they are?
00:26:10.080
This is something that drives me crazy about political pundits, and specifically conservative
00:26:18.180
They just whine, and it's not that they whine about things that they can change.
00:26:23.640
I like the idea of targeted and productive criticism to change things and to improve the
00:26:32.980
Trump describes that as you whine, whine, whine until you win.
00:26:38.260
What I am constructively lamenting here is the tendency among many conservatives, and specifically
00:26:43.560
in the pundit class, to just pointlessly moan about circumstances that they are not going
00:26:50.180
to change and that are not going to change on their own.
00:26:52.300
Say, oh, no, if the voters just weren't so stupid, they wouldn't nominate this person I
00:26:56.260
Or, oh, no, if the political apparatchiks in the Senate or in the bureaucracy would just
00:27:02.900
get along with this legislation that I really want, then the country would be better.
00:27:06.180
Yeah, well, bro, if you want that to happen, then you have to engage in politics.
00:27:11.640
Politics is an art very closely tied to reality.
00:27:19.820
It's not some fantasy you make up in your own head.
00:27:25.180
Now, speaking of Southern politicians, turn to a politician in Alabama now.
00:27:31.060
This would be Tommy Tuberville, a great U.S. senator who fell into some real hot water.
00:27:37.860
I don't know exactly what he said, but CNN's calling him racist.
00:27:40.760
Tuberville just continues doubling down on his comments.
00:27:45.260
Originally, he made these comments weeks ago, basically arguing that white nationalists
00:27:53.160
And he was pressed repeatedly by our Caitlin Collins yesterday and then pressed repeatedly
00:28:01.260
Why do you continue to insist that white nationalists are American?
00:28:09.640
And if Democrats want to say that white nationalists are racist, I'm totally against that, too.
00:28:15.660
The definition of a white nationalist is someone...
00:28:20.160
The definition is that the belief that the white race is superior to all other races.
00:28:28.280
So do you believe that white nationalists are racist?
00:28:43.340
Senator Tuberville, why are you such a terrible racist?
00:28:50.660
Why are you a racist, white, evil, white, nationalist, white, cis, male, baddie, Nazi, Hitler, bad, bad?
00:29:09.300
You can see Senator Tuberville there calling for pogroms and burning crosses.
00:29:14.880
Senator Tuberville, a genocidal racist because...
00:29:21.560
Obviously, Tuberville has the right answer here.
00:29:24.220
His clear bemusement and funny contempt for these stupid questions from CNN is the right answer.
00:29:34.640
Don't ever grant them the premise on this stuff.
00:29:40.280
No, really, seriously, some of my best friends are black, and I totally disavow everything, any made-up term that you can throw at me.
00:30:05.080
It's just a term that the Libs popularized in recent years because they knew that there was a nationalist and a populist movement that was going on.
00:30:16.560
And they don't like that because they're liberal globalists.
00:30:26.260
And in America, the way that you call something bad is to call it racist.
00:30:30.460
So when they use the term white nationalism, all it means is it's racist nationalism, which is to say bad.
00:30:41.160
Now, obviously, the nation state is far preferable to the liberal globalism that all of these awful people are trying to thrust upon us.
00:30:52.580
But let's take the question seriously here because I'm not a U.S. senator.
00:30:58.560
I don't need to bat away these stupid reporters.
00:31:00.580
We have a little more breathing room here to discuss these things.
00:31:08.120
That some people want America to be an exclusively white country?
00:31:11.500
America's never been an exclusively white country.
00:31:16.220
When the Libs pretend that all the white people are really bad and all the people who have done all the really great stuff in America have been black and Native Americans.
00:31:26.220
There weren't Muslims here until relatively recently.
00:31:32.720
The people in the most conspicuous positions of power, the settlers of America, the people who crafted much of the country, by and large, were white people.
00:31:45.260
They got angry at the Abraham Lincoln movie because the Abraham Lincoln movie points out that Lincoln freed the slaves.
00:31:50.240
They say, you can't say that because Lincoln's a white man.
00:31:57.080
But then on the flip side of it, there are some people who will say America is exclusively white, strictly white.
00:32:02.200
All the good stuff comes from the white people.
00:32:03.880
None of the good stuff comes from the other people.
00:32:07.200
And the person who, oddly enough, had one of the more insightful visions of this kind of thing is Carl Jung.
00:32:19.220
You might have heard of Carl Jung because Jordan Peterson talks about him all the time.
00:32:22.320
Carl Jung was a psychologist and a pretty interesting writer.
00:32:28.240
I don't agree with him on everything, but he made some interesting points.
00:32:30.860
And Carl Jung observed in America this strange phenomenon whereby he was walking on the streets of Buffalo
00:32:38.980
and he turned to someone he was walking with and he said,
00:32:43.040
wow, I didn't realize how much Indian blood was in America.
00:32:46.340
I didn't realize how much intermingling and marriage and birth there was with the Indians.
00:32:52.380
We don't have much intermarriage at all with the Indians.
00:32:59.560
There was something about their comportment that seemed foreign as compared to an Irishman
00:33:05.720
or as compared to a German and that seemed a little bit more akin to a Native American Indian.
00:33:11.660
Jung observed that there's something in the American character that seems more similar
00:33:16.980
to what one would stereotypically consider a black man to be like, an African to be like,
00:33:21.700
than, say, a Frenchman or an Englishman or a German or an Irishman,
00:33:25.720
even though the people exhibiting these behaviors were white as the driven snow.
00:33:32.980
And what Jung sees there is that this is a matter of acculturation and behavior,
00:33:39.720
that there are ideas that motivate countries and cultures.
00:33:44.060
And his ideas don't just come from genetics or something like that.
00:33:47.640
So Germany, for instance, is obsessed with the idea, capital I, idea.
00:33:59.380
Gentlemanliness is a motivating, driving concept in England.
00:34:14.200
And these things distinguish Americans from other sorts of people.
00:34:19.400
And the way that culture works is not deriving purely from biology or something like that.
00:34:27.440
That culture is created by this mixing of peoples and geography and history
00:34:34.640
that has occurred since the very beginning of the country,
00:34:40.400
I assume CNN would not understand any of that and would not be interested in hearing any of that.
00:34:46.820
But it is a reminder as to why the premise of their question,
00:34:52.800
when they hurl this at you, and they're going to hurl this at you all the time,
00:34:55.080
white nationalism, racism, this ism and that ism,
00:34:58.460
they're attacking something that nobody really believes at all.
00:35:02.540
And they're doing it because of their extraordinarily shallow and vindictive views of things that they are projecting onto their political opponents.
00:35:14.780
But the reality, as always, in matters of history, politics, philosophy, as always,
00:35:20.220
the reality is much richer and more interesting than,
00:35:22.960
duh, who, white people, bad, white nationalism, disavow, disavow.
00:35:26.660
Much, much more interesting what has really gone on in our country.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Rewind Gaming 9000, who says,
00:36:46.700
Knowles' episodes keep getting shorter and shorter.
00:36:48.780
It's almost like YouTube keeps making more and more of his show against their guidelines.
00:36:51.840
They do, and they're doing it capriciously, and they're not even telling us,
00:36:57.280
And so we are called in this culture to be wise as doves, not wise as doves and innocent as serpents,
00:37:06.700
And so I've said I'm not going to censor myself, period, punto e basta.
00:37:10.320
So my full show with my full commentary that might violate any other number of big tech guidelines,
00:37:18.000
that's available on the RSS feed, on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, on Daily Wire Plus, of course.
00:37:25.160
So as for YouTube, if they're looking for some excuse to nuke my channel, I'm not going to give it to them.
00:37:32.580
I'm going to do my level best to follow their guidelines, and then I'm going to redirect people and say,
00:37:37.220
well, if you want the content that YouTube is censoring from this platform, then you've got to go to the other platforms here.
00:37:42.780
And maybe they'll try to nuke me anyway just because they don't like the cut of my jib.
00:37:46.300
But we're not going to give them any excuse to do that.
00:37:48.960
So I don't know, maybe the YouTube episode will be 30 minutes.
00:37:51.120
I don't know, maybe it'll be 35 minutes, 25 minutes.
00:37:53.640
I don't know what it is, but you'll get that full episode, Daily Wire Plus, Twitter, and the RSS feed.
00:37:58.300
Speaking of American identity, how do you feel about your country?
00:38:04.080
Some people don't like their country very much.
00:39:07.600
Here, can I give you some attention hors d'oeuvre
00:39:23.880
At least plenty of people who say that they agree with her.
00:39:27.240
And this poses an existential threat to the republic.
00:39:31.400
As we talked about at the very top of the show today
00:39:40.660
Government-issued, notarized birth certificates
00:40:07.780
Only when there is serious, disciplined, limited behavior
00:40:12.460
Only when there is respect for parents and elders
00:40:16.720
And we talk a lot about how democracy and republics
00:40:23.540
We talk about how people need to be able to control themselves
00:40:25.940
Or a government is going to come in and control them
00:40:40.880
Two, it's to preserve the basic unit of society
00:40:52.660
The older generation cares for the younger generation
00:41:05.000
Because your country was built by your forefathers
00:41:44.420
Because all of my forebears and forefathers were bad
