Summary
For the first time in U.S. history, three military services are operating without a Senate-confirmed chief in charge, but that s not the strangest part. What's strangest is the reason why Republicans are wielding the power the people gave them, and why a liberal senator is singlehandedly holding up more than 300 of Joe Biden's senior officer nominations.

Something very strange is happening in Washington, D.C. It's worrying lots of people.
00:00:05.680
For the first time in U.S. history, three military services are operating without a
00:00:11.480
Senate-confirmed chief in charge. But that is not the strangest part. The strangest part is the
00:00:17.280
reason why. Republicans are wielding the power the people gave them. Senator Tommy Tuberville
00:00:24.380
is single-handedly holding up more than 300 of Joe Biden's senior officer nominations,
00:00:31.440
including the three joint chiefs. The liberal journalists are wringing their hands and
00:00:36.160
clutching their pearls. They're accusing Senator Tuberville of weakening our military.
00:00:42.080
But the liberals at the Pentagon could end the standoff tomorrow because the liberals at the
00:00:47.220
Pentagon are the ones who started it last October by ramming through a new policy that pays military
00:00:54.140
service members to travel out of state to kill their babies through abortion. That policy was
00:01:00.320
never passed into law by Congress. The people never voted for it. It's obviously not a right
00:01:05.460
guaranteed by the Constitution. The whole reason the liberals at the Pentagon passed this policy
00:01:10.780
was because they were angry over the Supreme Court's decision in the Dobbs case, which overruled
00:01:16.580
Roe v. Wade and struck down the fictional constitutional right to abortion. The whole point of the military
00:01:22.920
is to protect Americans, not to pay soldiers to kill the most vulnerable Americans. There is no popular
00:01:32.020
call for this policy. That's why the DOD had to ram it through the bureaucracy. And the policy in no way
00:01:38.540
improves the military's readiness or ability to fight our foes. But this policy does matter to liberals.
00:01:45.540
Abortion matters a lot to liberals. If you ever doubted that, look no further than this fight in which our
00:01:53.300
nation's top military leaders would rather keep three branches of service without a leader than agree
00:01:59.900
to tone back the baby killing just a little bit. There are a few people in Washington, D.C. who are
00:02:08.420
endangering national security right now. And none of those people is Tommy Tuberville. I'm Michael
00:02:14.220
Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. There's a lot of big news we have to get to. The
00:02:25.600
that mother effer isn't real girl from the airplane has issued an apology. We will go through every
00:02:31.720
crucial detail of that apology. And then is there anything else? Oh yeah, there's this little tiny
00:02:37.800
bit of news. They indicted Trump again. It's Groundhog Day. General Francisco Franco is still
00:02:45.000
dead. And the libs have indicted Trump again. This one's a little different. This one is not at the
00:02:50.840
federal level. This is not over January 6th, the worst day in the history of the world. This is not
00:02:57.600
over an in-kind campaign contribution from some tabloid story in New York. This is over a phone call
00:03:03.940
that Trump had after the Democrats rigged the election. And he called Georgia and he said,
00:03:09.940
hey, what's going on in Georgia? Where are the votes? That phone call now has gotten him and his
00:03:15.900
lawyers and all sorts of people indicted. The other big difference between this indictment and the other
00:03:20.920
7,000 indictments that they've thrown at him before is that in this case, the authorities are promising
00:03:26.980
to take a mugshot. We are following our normal practices. And so it doesn't matter your status.
00:03:35.280
We have mugshots ready for you. Look at that little smirk, that little smirk on the Gestapo there at the
00:03:41.460
end. It doesn't matter. We're going to take a mugshot this time and we're going to get you, Trump. Now,
00:03:46.740
of course, Trump is going to be thrilled by this, as well he should be. If the liberals are going to
00:03:55.780
upend the American political order, if they're going to upend centuries of tradition, and if
00:04:04.200
they're going to now criminalize politics, which is effectively what they're doing, then go big or
00:04:09.900
go home. Then I don't want them to be able to weasel out of it and pretend they didn't. No, no.
00:04:14.300
If you're going to arrest the leader of the opposition and a former president of the United
00:04:17.900
States, then take that mugshot and make him a political martyr, which is what they're going to do.
00:04:23.800
Hard to see how Trump totally gets out of this now. The reason being that even if Trump becomes
00:04:33.060
president, I guess he could pardon himself, but he could only pardon himself at the federal level,
00:04:41.860
right? I think. I don't think he could pardon himself if he's convicted on state charges.
00:04:48.160
We're in completely uncharted territory here, so we're kind of making things up a little bit as
00:04:53.140
we go along now that the Democrats have decided that we're going to descend into a tinpot dictatorship,
00:04:58.200
a banana republic. But it's hard to see, now that the Democrats have brought Donald Trump on,
00:05:04.340
at my last count, seven billion charges, it's hard to see how they don't get him on at least one,
00:05:09.980
especially in these hostile places. You can see, you just, you look into the eyes of these liberals.
00:05:16.480
I don't mean to be too hard on that cop there, because he's obviously just following
00:05:19.760
political orders. And the politicians are very clear that the Democrats have decided they're
00:05:24.580
going to throw Trump in prison for the rest of his life. You look into their eyes, you just see
00:05:28.740
fire burning there, because the eyes are the window to the soul. And the windows are the windows to your
00:05:35.540

00:06:58.080
This is not a bright moment for Western political leadership. This is not, not just in the United
00:07:05.500
States, really, for any Western-aligned country. And especially in military leadership. You've got
00:07:14.420
these liberals at the Pentagon basically shutting down the top command in order to ram through a
00:07:21.080
radical infanticide policy. And then in the American colony, in the imperial war we're fighting
00:07:27.900
overseas in Ukraine. You, you see, well, I'm going to let you see it for, I'm not allowed to do this,
00:07:35.900
this segment on YouTube. So if you want this segment, you've got to come to Daily Wire Plus
00:07:39.760
or to the RSS feed or to Twitter at M Knowles show. I, I'm just going to, I'm just going to introduce
00:07:47.820
it this way. The Ukraine spokesman, spokesman, who is not exactly how that spokesman would appear
00:08:01.540
and that spokesman is exactly as you would expect if Hollywood were writing this as a movie. And this
00:08:08.180
spokesman has a message for Vladimir Putin. If you look at Putin's mouth, you'll notice that blood
00:08:14.720
drips from it. He's a vampire carrying out genocide against both Ukrainians and Russians alike. Vlad
00:08:23.000
Putin bathes in the blood of innocent children and enjoys it. And this is why the dictator of the
00:08:29.660
Russian Federation must be deposed and why peace talks have to be focused on President Zelensky's
00:08:37.840
10 point peace formula and the full liberation of Ukraine. We can get to Putin's physique in a minute.
00:08:47.040
I, I'm not really thinking about Putin's mouth and teeth and Adam's apple right now. I'm more focused
00:08:54.180
on the physique of this spokes lady for the Ukrainian military who looks a lot like this spokes lady has a
00:09:05.120
real chiseled jaw, you know, various kind of broad shoulders. And, and of course the spokesman for
00:09:14.600
the Ukrainian military is an American transvestite. Of course, because that would have to be the case
00:09:20.980
in the Hollywood movie version of this. And I'm not saying we're living in a simulation or anything
00:09:27.900
like that, but Hollywood is literally writing a lot of this, right? The liberal establishment
00:09:34.300
actually is writing a lot of the story of this war. The leader of Ukraine is a former actor,
00:09:38.600
highest paid actor in the world, made a hundred billion dollars last year. So of course,
00:09:43.640
you look at the Twitter bios of everyone who's really enthusiastically pro Ukraine, and it's always
00:09:50.860
huge libs with pronouns in their bio. And so of course the spokesman for the Ukrainian military is
00:09:59.280
an American transvestite. Of course, of course, I don't, I'm not rooting for Putin,
00:10:09.540
but these guys are making it really hard for me not to, okay? Because is it, is this Western values?
00:10:16.520
Is this it? Is this what we're fighting for? We're fighting to impose transgenderism on every
00:10:23.520
corner of this world. We're, that's why our great granddaddies, that's why our grandfathers
00:10:29.200
landed at Normandy and took all those bullets. These are the boys of Pointe du Ho, the men who took the
00:10:35.560
hills, scaled the cliffs so that men could chop their genitals off and prance around and pretend to
00:10:41.680
be women. That's it, right? Is that why, is that, if that's Western values, maybe we ought to
00:10:47.540
look domestically for a little while before we start spreading those around the world and start
00:10:53.180
to figure out, hey, is that really, are those really the values that built our civilization,
00:10:59.280
the beliefs that inspired the great heights of Western Christendom? I don't, I don't think so.
00:11:06.220
I don't think it is. And Hungarian president, Viktor Orban made this point just a few weeks ago.
00:11:15.680
He said, today, Western values means nothing more than LGBT, mass migration, and war.
00:11:24.460
And the liberals in the West, they say, oh my goodness, how dare that authoritarian Orban say
00:11:30.760
such a thing? And then they prove him completely right. Completely right. Not a good look for
00:11:36.780
Ukraine. This is a war that's already very unpopular among the American people. The majority
00:11:40.300
of Americans don't want to fund it anymore. Of course, our government doesn't care because
00:11:45.480
our government is no longer even pretending to be responsive to the people. And when the people
00:11:51.720
support a presidential candidate and the government fears that there's too big a threat that that person
00:11:58.220
will be elected, they just try to throw him in prison. Speaking of bad looks for the White House
00:12:02.420
and the unresponsiveness of this administration, White House spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre, who I'm
00:12:10.160
pleased to say is the sex that she presents herself as. Karine Jean-Pierre over at the White House
00:12:17.280
finally addressed the horrific wildfires in Hawaii. President Biden was approached on the beach,
00:12:26.260
asked to give a comment about this. And you've got a rising death toll, mass devastation in Maui.
00:12:33.780
And Biden says, no comment. No, I'm too busy. I'm too busy thinking about Ukraine or I'm too busy
00:12:38.640
thinking about the blood dripping from Dracula's mouth in Moscow or whatever. So no, I'm not going
00:12:44.220
to care about my own American citizens. Finally, Karine Jean-Pierre addresses it. She just gets some
00:12:48.820
details wrong. Senator Horino, who I said the president spoke to just last night, he thanked the president
00:12:55.460
for the immediate support of federal agencies have delivered for residents of Hawaii.
00:13:00.860
Senator Horino. Senator Horino, if you've never heard of her, or him, I guess, Karine Jean-Pierre
00:13:08.640
actually misgenders, actually misgenders the senator. Senator Horino is a woman and her name's not
00:13:16.100
Horino, it's Hirono. And she's not even just a minor backbench senator. She's a senator who's on TV
00:13:22.180
all the time. She never stops flapping her gums. And she's not even a Republican. Where perhaps the
00:13:27.460
president might be forgiven, or the White House spokesman might be forgiven for getting the name
00:13:33.120
wrong if it's a member of the opposition party. Senator Maisie Hirono is one of the outspoken,
00:13:37.940
most outspoken members of the president's own party. Not a great look. Because the president is
00:13:45.580
already being criticized for not caring at all about the devastation in Hawaii. And so the White
00:13:52.460
House comes out and says, what are you talking about? We care a lot. We are very concerned about
00:13:56.260
Hawaii. And Senator Horino, Hirono, Harippi, whatever. Anyway, what, he's a dude? Oh, it's a
00:14:03.340
chick? Okay, yeah, whatever. We're really focused, though, on what's going on in Hawaii. We don't even
00:14:07.360
know the name of the U.S. senator from that place in our own party, or the sex of that person. But hey,
00:14:12.640
we're on it. You can count on us. All right, now I've got to get back on the phone with the
00:14:18.900
Kazakh oligarchs so we can get a few more tens of millions of dollars for the big guy.
00:14:24.860
Thank you very much. Focused on the important things. Speaking of unfortunate videos of prominent
00:14:31.960
women, we now finally will get to the story that we teased a little bit yesterday. I wanted to make
00:14:36.960
sure we had enough time to get into it because it's dominated the national discourse. This, of course,
00:14:41.940
would be the that mother effer isn't real lady from the airplane who stood up and insisted that
00:14:50.140
there was a mother effer in the back of the airplane who was not real. And she said that the
00:14:55.600
rest of the passengers were free to stay on the airplane and die with the unreal person, but she
00:15:01.220
was going to leave the airplane. Then she disappeared, which I felt was good for her and would have been
00:15:07.260
much better for her had she remained anonymous. But the internet figured out who she was somehow.
00:15:12.000
And now this woman is issuing an apology. Hi, everyone. It's me, Tiffany Gomez, probably better
00:15:21.140
known as the crazy plane lady, which is completely warranted. As you know, I have been unwilling to
00:15:30.060
speak on the viral video, but I do finally. Can we just pause right here? This woman looks nothing
00:15:34.900
like the woman from the video. She looks nothing like her. She has a different hair color. Sure,
00:15:39.820
even her face looks different. I'm not saying it's a different person or invasion of the body
00:15:44.740
snatchers or something, but I'm saying it because had this woman just gone about her daily life,
00:15:52.800
no one would have recognized her. I don't know. She darkened her hair a little bit. I'm sure she
00:15:59.400
went through a tough time after that video went viral, but she's deciding for some reason to make
00:16:04.480
a big public spectacle of herself. Again, this time, I think probably more ill-advisedly than the first
00:16:11.160
time. I feel that it's time. First and foremost, I want to take full accountability for my actions.
00:16:22.320
They were completely unacceptable. Distressed or not, I should have been, I should have been in control
00:16:30.820
of my emotions and that was not the case. My use of profanity was completely unnecessary
00:16:40.060
and I want to apologize to everyone on that plane, especially those that had children aboard.
00:16:47.100
Can't imagine going through that and trying to explain to your kid what in the world
00:16:53.520
So she goes on and on. This apology goes on for something like two minutes.
00:17:00.320
And I guess it's nice that she is apologizing for using naughty language around the kids,
00:17:07.220
even in our culture where kids hear this all the time. That's the appropriate thing to do. But
00:17:11.420
beyond that, why apologize? What happened? Did she have a psychotic episode? Well, then she has no
00:17:23.520
reason to apologize. She wasn't in control of herself. And I don't think through Vice or something
00:17:29.380
like that, she just went a little bit nuts for a moment. Is it because she was on some kind of
00:17:35.500
substance or something? I don't know. She doesn't mention that here. Is it because
00:17:39.180
why apologize? This is a phenomenon that has taken over the West in our social media age.
00:17:49.660
Jeremy has called out this weird phenomenon for a long time. Jeremy has called for the end of public
00:17:55.160
apologies by private persons. Public figures, politicians, heads of corporations, maybe they can
00:18:02.360
make public apologies. Why? This woman's not a public figure. If she wants to apologize, she can
00:18:08.100
apologize to the airline. She can write a note to them or something, have the airline forwarded out
00:18:12.800
to the passengers on the plane. But she doesn't owe me an apology. She doesn't owe you an apology.
00:18:18.860
Why does everybody think that every single little action, every impulse has to be public now?
00:18:25.860
Probably comes from a great place. Great comes from a good intention. She's trying to do the right
00:18:30.740
thing. So I'm really not knocking her or criticizing her, but I'm giving a warning to everybody else.
00:18:36.300
You don't owe the public an apology for your private actions most of the time.
00:18:44.120
The only people she owes an apology to are the airplane and maybe the people on that plane. She
00:18:48.560
doesn't owe one to the entire internet. We don't need to make every aspect of our lives at every level
00:18:56.560
of community an international phenomenon. We don't need to broadcast every single thing
00:19:03.480
to the world. Though I suppose because of technology, because of the growth of technology
00:19:11.660
such that we can transport messages across the world instantly, and because of the advance of
00:19:16.220
liberal ideology which erodes communities, the most basic political community, the family,
00:19:21.680
and local community and national borders and everything, because of the simultaneous advance
00:19:26.680
of those two phenomena, now we've lost all perspective of community. Everything's global and
00:19:34.640
every single message is a message to the world intended to go viral. And it does go viral.
00:19:40.240
It is like a virus. It is an epidemic of publicity. We don't need to be so transparent. Things can be
00:19:52.200
private or relatively private. As we lose the sense of the proper community, which comes through the
00:19:58.980
abolition of the family and borders and the eradication of federalism, decisions being made at a more local
00:20:04.120
level. As we lose that, the political order gets entirely wonky such that we've now got Americans as the
00:20:09.340
military spokesman in Ukraine, such that we've now got massive foreign influence in the United States
00:20:14.440
elections. We've got now the criminalization even of politics at the whims of a mob. Not good stuff.
00:20:25.980

00:21:43.860
Speaking of apologies, there are calls for apology from Skittles now. Skittles
00:21:48.880
has a new package. These are for, I guess, white Skittles. But it's a white Skittle bag with white
00:21:58.880
colored Skittles, it looks like, or sketched in pencil. And a nice big rainbow, then a lot of
00:22:04.360
eccentric looking people, and then little statements. Joy is resistance. This is a liberal slogan. Joy is
00:22:14.880
resistance. They've got a little UFO saucer thing because, don't forget, UFOs are angels and demons
00:22:21.000
for liberals. So they got all the UFO stuff, little smileys, little hearts. And then this phrase,
00:22:27.940
black trans lives matter. I'm relieved to know that. My candy company recognizes that black trans lives
00:22:41.140
matter. There are three black trans identifying people on the face of the earth. I'm pretty sure.
00:22:49.580
I don't think the number is much higher than that. But I needed my global candy company to tell me that
00:22:56.480
their lives, their lives, much more than your life or my life, their lives really, really matter.
00:23:03.860
The crazy part of this story, which I am not allowed to talk about on YouTube. I can probably
00:23:14.460
talk about this part of the story. The crazy part of this story, Skittles getting involved in some
00:23:18.460
political activism, is this is not an example of ESG. All the time now, when we see some corporation go
00:23:30.540
really woke, we say, well, that's just ESG, the environmental social governance movement,
00:23:36.460
the set of far left policies being pushed by a handful of major asset managers, Vanguard, BlackRock,
00:23:43.560
State Street, combined control, a total of $20 trillion. And so what they do is they push their
00:23:49.820
woke agenda on the corporations and the corporations have to comply, even if the customers don't like it.
00:23:55.440
Skittles is privately owned. Skittles is owned by the Mars Corporation. Mars is a private company.
00:24:05.760
So this is not ESG. This was a decision by a regular old corporate board, not being pressured by
00:24:15.480
Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street. Why is Skittles doing it? The most interesting part of the Skittles
00:24:24.480
rainbow activism is, I think they leaned into it because Skittles are the color of the rainbow.
00:24:35.380
I think that their political stance was determined by the symbol that the company has always had.
00:24:43.080
The symbol which used to be an innocuous symbol that children loved, a rainbow. You'd have rainbows on
00:24:48.100
all sorts of kids' toys. That symbol is a happy symbol because traditionally, it was understood to
00:24:54.840
be the symbol that God gave to man in the covenant with Noah, where God says, I will not destroy the
00:25:02.100
world again in a flood. A natural symbol, or I guess a supernatural symbol given now and expressed in
00:25:09.060
nature, but given to us by God. But sometime about 40 years ago, a bunch of sexual revolutionary
00:25:18.640
activists decide to come in and take that symbol, appropriate it for themselves. So you got this
00:25:24.480
candy that just already has this symbol, and the leftist political activists go in and they say,
00:25:29.060
that's our symbol now. And so the symbol is now universally identified with the weird sex stuff.
00:25:34.700
And so the corporation just had their symbol remade through no fault of their own. And what did
00:25:43.460
they do? They decided to lean into it. These sexual activists appropriated a symbol and thereby
00:25:49.260
conquered every corporation that used that symbol, including Skittles. I talk a lot about the
00:25:56.520
importance of words and symbols. I wrote a book about it called Speechless, Controlling Words,
00:25:59.940
Controlling Minds, which is available obviously for wherever fine books are sold.
00:26:03.440
This is a brilliant way, a very subtle way, that the left takes over a political order. By conquering
00:26:13.040
those symbols, you thereby change the meaning of the institutions and the rituals and the art
00:26:22.060
that uses that symbol. You conquer that territory without ever having to even so much as knock on the
00:26:28.940
door of the door of the Mars Corporation. Now, enough about sexual revolutionary politics. Let's turn to
00:26:35.560
black revolutionary politics. There is a New York City Councilman, Charles Barron, bragging about
00:26:42.140
losing white constituents. I have the distinct honor to be able to come before you and say,
00:26:49.320
I actually lost white population in my community. I lost them. They left. They left. I didn't ask them
00:27:00.360
why. They left. So if you see one or two or three or four or five whites in my neighborhood, they're passing
00:27:08.920
through. But that's on a serious note. We got 13,000 black elected officials in this country.
00:27:18.520
We've had mayors. We've had governors. We have city council members. We need to get radical.
00:27:25.720
Oh, we have so many fewer white people in this neighborhood. I hate them. I hate those whites and
00:27:31.400
I want to drive them out. I'm so happy they're not here anymore. And if you do see a white man in my
00:27:36.640
neighborhood, just know he's just a tourist. He's just coming. But if he stays here too long,
00:27:41.340
we're going to chase him out. I hate white people. Now, seriously, on a serious note, I really hate
00:27:47.480
white people. And I don't want them to have any power or representation anywhere. I hate them.
00:27:53.420
Okay. But no, look, enough joking. Enough of the yucks around here. Okay. We got to get serious.
00:27:59.220
And I seriously hate white people. How many times does he need to tell you? What shall we say about
00:28:06.720
this? I know what I'm supposed to say. I know what I, a conservative political commentator
00:28:12.920
who has a show and a platform, I am supposed to say, pull my microphone here. Could you imagine,
00:28:21.620
could you even imagine if the shoe were on the other foot and he were a white man and he said that
00:28:27.700
about black people, could you even imagine the double standard, the hypocrisy? Could you imagine?
00:28:33.400
Keep imagining it. Okay. That's what I'm supposed to say. I don't want to say that because that's
00:28:39.780
extremely banal and obvious and is going to be the epitaph on the gravestone of conservatism.
00:28:46.880
Could you imagine if the situation were reversed, that would be so crazy, it'd be unimaginable.
00:28:50.960
So, my takeaway from these comments and similar comments that we've seen from left-wing politicians
00:28:57.900
in recent years is, when people call you a racist, it is never a sincere or meaningful attack.
00:29:08.840
Never. If it ever was sincere or meaningful, it is not anymore. It's not real.
00:29:13.840
White people are basically the only group that you can legally discriminate against.
00:29:21.500
The Asians get lumped in a little bit too. Socially, white people are the only group
00:29:26.240
that you are permitted to and actually encouraged to insult and mock. White people are the only group
00:29:34.060
whose decline, I'm not even just saying decline in power or prominence, I mean decline in numbers,
00:29:40.880
perhaps in existence, is the sort of thing that will be celebrated by the liberal media.
00:29:49.220
It's not a real art. When people call you a racist, all that means is, I don't like you,
00:29:54.180
you're bad, and I want you to shut up. So just don't take it seriously. This is my only takeaway.
00:29:58.920
The only reason I even bring up the story, my takeaway for conservatives, and not even just
00:30:04.340
for white conservatives. Because if you're a black conservative, if you're a Hispanic conservative,
00:30:08.780
if you're an Asian conservative, any color of conservative, you will be called a racist,
00:30:14.000
you will be called a white supremacist, no matter the color of your skin, no matter your racial
00:30:18.320
background. Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. Candace Owens, she's basically a
00:30:23.340
Klansman at this point, according to the liberal media. So it's for everybody, especially for white
00:30:27.800
people, but it's for anyone of any political, any literal stripe, any literal color, who happens to
00:30:36.320
be heterodox in the modern liberal establishment. Don't take it seriously. A liberal calls you a
00:30:42.700
racist, you say, oh, cool. Great. Awesome. Sure. Whatever. It's a meaningless word that you call.
00:30:49.080
Okay. No, but you're an alt-right, white supremacist, racist, super-Nazi. Cool. Oh,
00:30:56.220
cool, man. That's awesome. Wow. Great. Can I get like a patch to put on my jacket? You know,
00:31:01.120
like a letterman's patch or says that? Can I put that in my Twitter bio? Because it doesn't mean
00:31:05.520
anything. If Charles Barron says this in New York City, gets away with it. And this has been going
00:31:09.900
on for decades and decades. Remember Professor, was it Leonard Jeffries, Lionel Jeffries, the one
00:31:15.600
who said that black people are the good people of the sun, white people are the ice people without
00:31:19.360
souls. This stuff is repeated by celebrities. Even today, Nick Cannon repeated this stuff recently.
00:31:24.540
And Professor Jeffries's nephew, Hakeem Jeffries, is now the Democrat leader in the House of
00:31:28.800
Representatives. It's just a joke. Okay. You're a racist. Okay. I don't, I can't even deny it
00:31:39.800
because I don't even know what it means anymore because the word doesn't have any meaning anymore
00:31:43.460
other than you're bad. You're a baddie. You're a baddie. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed

00:32:26.820
we talked about this letter that David Garrow, the biographer who's worked on Barack Obama,
00:32:35.680
and he's not just a biographer like he's doing a hit piece on Obama or something. This is a guy,
00:32:39.060
he won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1987. This is a very serious liberal biographer,
00:32:43.780
and he's writing this biography of Obama. He says, Obama's memoir, Dreams from My Father,
00:32:47.880
is a work of fiction. I know it. Obama knows it. Obama knows that I know it. When David Garrow met
00:32:54.500
with Obama in the Oval Office, Obama kind of taunted him about the details of his life that
00:32:58.560
he wouldn't show him. And then this guy found a letter that Obama had written to his girlfriend
00:33:07.220
at the time. It was back in 1982, and part of it was redacted by the girlfriend, and Garrow said,
00:33:12.660
well, why is this redacted? And she said, oh, it deals with homosexuality. That's all we know.
00:33:17.820
Well, now we have the unredacted letter. Here is what Obama said about his sexual orientation.
00:33:25.520
In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from
00:33:30.540
the present, a refusal, perhaps, to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see,
00:33:37.600
I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. Now this, I'm not just going to make fun of Obama
00:33:45.100
or try to gossip about him or anything like that. This is a profound statement. It's written like a
00:33:54.800
pompous young man would write, but Obama was only 21 years old at the time. And he was a pretty clever,
00:34:02.640
obviously ambitious kid, so I'm not surprised that he would write in that style.
00:34:06.060
He says, in regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove
00:34:10.500
oneself from the present, a refusal, perhaps, to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life.
00:34:14.840
Now, of course, I don't think earthly life is a farce. This is a very cynical atheist way of
00:34:19.960
talking. It's a farce, this hellish facade of the world that we're talking about. No, I think the world
00:34:24.220
is full of meaning, of course, and that it doesn't, it's not a farce at all. It's a happy comedy like
00:34:28.740
Dante would talk about. But he says homosexuality is a way to remove oneself from the process of
00:34:35.820
generation. That's true. That's obviously true. And he says, I make love to men daily,
00:34:40.580
but in my imagination. So he's saying, I have homosexual desires, but I don't carry them out.
00:34:44.960
And I was saying a couple of weeks ago, I think that social conservatives are a little too harsh
00:34:51.520
here. Because a lot of them want to kind of make fun of Obama for appearing to be a little bit light
00:34:58.560
in the loafers. But what he's saying is, I have homosexual desires and I'm suppressing them.
00:35:05.120
And I think, well, what's he supposed to do? Isn't that good? Isn't that what the social
00:35:09.820
conservatives want? Social conservatives who don't have this problem that Obama has,
00:35:17.100
it's very easy for us to say, well, ha ha, you know, he's fantasizing about men.
00:35:23.180
But imagine if you were like him and you had these homosexual desires. Today,
00:35:27.520
you would just be told, well, you got to carry that out. But Obama's saying, no, I do want to be,
00:35:31.080
even if it's a, it seems like a silly farce, I do want to participate in the process of creating life.
00:35:36.500
I do want a wife. I do want a family. I do, he probably obviously had political ambitions. I do
00:35:41.560
want to pursue my political ambitions. And so I'm going to subordinate my sexual desires to that.
00:35:47.380
Isn't that, shouldn't we as social conservatives have a little bit of grace
00:35:51.420
for people like Obama, who maybe have, you know, slightly eccentric sexual desires and say, oh,
00:35:57.660
well, he, all right, he's doing basically the thing that he wants to do. Now the letter gets
00:36:00.980
even crazier because Barack Obama doesn't just say that he's got these homosexual desires.
00:36:13.480

Go to dailywire.com slash subscribe to become a member today. My favorite comment yesterday is from
00:37:15.840
Jonathan Perez 2H23, who says, it's not enough that Michael is such a tease. Now he's teasing his
00:37:22.420
teases I can't even right now. Wow, how providential that that comment came up just after I mentioned
00:37:29.260
a little tease. Here's what Obama said about his gender identity. My mind is androgynous to a great
00:37:39.200
extent, and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to
00:37:44.120
men. But in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life,
00:37:48.920
I choose to accept that contingency. I love, I love that expression. I give Obama a lot of credit.
00:37:58.220
I have greater respect for Obama's intellect and willpower, actually, after reading that than I did
00:38:06.280
before. And I know all the other conservatives are going to make fun of him and call him a fanook or
00:38:10.120
whatever. But this is really, this was commonplace thinking 20 years ago, 30 years ago. Now it's
00:38:19.120
pretty rare. He says, my mind is androgynous and to blah, blah, blah. Okay. He's a 21-year-old pompous
00:38:25.280
kid, and he's a liberal. So he's saying, oh, I'm so expansive. Nothing, no definition can contain me,
00:38:31.120
man. I'm just, I'm like a little, I'm a woman in the morning, a man in the afternoon. I don't want to
00:38:35.820
think in terms of these small categories, man. I'm so much bigger than that, you know. Okay, so he's
00:38:41.260
just talking like every pompous college junior you've ever met who is a liberal with notions of
00:38:46.640
grandeur. But then, what do you say? He goes, but in returning to the body, my mind feels androgynous.
00:38:57.240
Mind, meaning not a physical thing, but a metaphysical thing, right? The mind is not the brain.
00:39:01.300
The mind is closer to the soul, is what we would say. So he says, my soul feels male and female.
00:39:10.760
But in returning to the body, I see I've been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept
00:39:15.820
that contingency. This is very based. This is downright to mystic. He's saying, my soul is not
00:39:24.340
gendered. Thomas Aquinas would say, the soul is not gendered. But the body is sexed. Sex derives
00:39:33.100
from the body and applies to the whole individual, the whole person, because we're body and soul,
00:39:38.900
inextricably linked on earth. And he says, so I see that I'm a man, and I choose to accept that
00:39:44.040
contingency, which is very based, because not only is he saying, I will not be trans,
00:39:49.420
trans. He's also saying, I won't act on my homosexual desires, because I am a man. And being
00:39:57.180
a man implies not merely accepting the biological facts of our body, but also accepting the telos of
00:40:07.420
our body, the purpose of our body, what our body is for. This is far right-wing, social conservative,
00:40:17.060
conservative, traditional, Catholic teaching right here, coming out of Barack Obama.
00:40:25.400
What does that tell you? Does it tell you that Barack Obama is a secret conservative? It doesn't.
00:40:30.780
What it tells you is just how radically to the left the culture has gone in the last 40 years.
00:40:36.880
This was written in 1982, and everybody, even the liberals, understood, oh yeah, I've got a body.
00:40:43.340
That implies that I obviously can't pretend to be the opposite sex. And it also implies that I'm
00:40:48.360
supposed to do certain things with my body. That the highest and only moral maxim is not
00:40:52.900
simply, if it feels good, do it. Even Barack Obama was saying that. He may have changed his
00:40:58.860
view somewhere down the line, but that is pretty, pretty based. Next time someone tells you that you're
00:41:05.520
a social conservative and your views are fascistic and far right, you tell them that you have the same
00:41:12.220
views on sex and gender that Barack Obama had in 1982 while he was writing about his fantasies of
00:41:18.340
sleeping with men. Which brings us to this question. How did the culture move so left so fast?
00:41:30.240
A lot of it was the sexual revolution. I don't want to harp on the weird sex stuff too much. I like
00:41:34.840
to talk about, you know, I don't know, the indictments, the political order, the wars overseas,
00:41:39.700
immigration, trade, like all these important issues. But the sex stuff comes up a fair bit
00:41:44.620
because it's such a huge motivating factor in human nature. And because when the limits of behavior
00:41:53.820
have been eroded by, say, an act of sexual revolution, it becomes an even more pronounced
00:42:00.360
driver. And it's because it's the instrument by which the libs have taken over a lot of the culture.
00:42:04.440
And one way they've done it, one way to explain the huge advance of degeneracy in recent decades
00:42:10.720
is pornography. The ubiquity of internet pornography. It's just something we've never seen before
00:42:15.440
ever in the history of human life. Now it's virtually everywhere. And people say,
00:42:22.120
conservatives such as I would say, we should heavily regulate it. If we can't ban it entirely,
00:42:26.980
we should heavily regulate it. And you've got liberals and some libertarians saying,
00:42:31.320
well, no, we can't. We can't regulate it. We need the internet to be free, man. Let people watch
00:42:35.780
whatever degraded filth they want to watch. You know, it's a free country, man. Whatever. Even
00:42:39.880
though it's, even by the letter of the law today, this stuff is already illegal because it violates
00:42:45.940
obscenity laws. It's just liberal judges have changed the standards for obscenity. So how would
00:42:50.660
you regulate it? People say, well, give me a concrete action. How would you regulate it? Here's how you
00:42:54.100
would regulate it. You would require people to prove that they are at least 18 when they access even just
00:42:59.380
the main porn site, the one owned by MindGeek, which is the biggest porn conglomerate in the
00:43:03.220
world, Pornhub. You just say, okay, in order to access this website, you have to prove that you're
00:43:08.420
your age. Now the libertarians will respond and say, so you want to give a porn company every ID in
00:43:16.060
America? Or I don't know, 70% of IDs in America, 80% of IDs in America? My answer to that is no.
00:43:21.940
Now, if you pass that regulation, first of all, Pornhub would just stop operating because they
00:43:27.280
know that preying on children is crucial to the success of their industry. That's why they've
00:43:32.160
pulled out of Utah. That's why they've pulled out of several states that have passed these age
00:43:35.920
requirement laws. They would rather not do business in those states than comply with an age check
00:43:40.960
because they need to prey on kids. But even if it went through and Pornhub were still operating,
00:43:47.640
Pornhub would not get all the IDs in America because most people, the vast majority of people,
00:43:51.940
would be too ashamed to submit their ID. The moment you took anonymity away from it,
00:43:56.340
most people, other than the most hardened perverts, would stop looking at it. Because
00:44:00.900
the law is not merely shaped by the culture, as the libertarians say. There's some truth to that,
00:44:07.680
of course, but the law is also a teacher and also shapes culture. And if you pass that simple kind
00:44:13.780
of a regulation, the effect of that, I think Americans still have enough shame that that would
00:44:20.460
greatly reduce the indulgence in that vice, and it would greatly, greatly reduce the presence of all
00:44:28.480
sorts of social pathologies that we're not allowed to talk about on YouTube. Here's a little tease for
00:44:34.200
tomorrow. Speaking of bad behavior, did you know that almost one in five Americans are now puffing the
00:44:40.460
devil's lettuce? No, listen, there are going to be a lot of people watching, listening to this show
00:44:47.120
right now who like to have a little hit on the sin spinach. It's not good. It's not good. It's not
00:44:55.740
good. We'll talk about it tomorrow. The rest of the show continues now. You don't want to miss it
00:44:58.980
because today is, they've informed me I'm not allowed to say the name of the member segment today.
00:45:05.800
It's Tuesday. We have, you know, Music Monday, Woke Wednesday. We have something Tuesday, but I'm not
00:45:11.860
allowed to say the name of the day on YouTube. So I'll have to use a euphemism. So I could, I thought
00:45:18.880
if I took out the T, I could say it's, it's Unit Use Day. Is that, yeah, I think you get what I'm
00:45:24.500
getting at. Become a member now. Use code Knowles at checkout for two months free on all annual plans.
