00:00:37.940 Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee has just announced that every minute of President Donald Trump's trial
00:00:44.560 in the election interference case will be broadcast for the public. This would seem highly unusual,
00:00:50.920 as cameras and recording equipment are almost never permitted in federal court. But this is
00:00:56.380 not a federal court. And more important, this is a show trial. Trump is not seriously being indicted
00:01:04.480 for committing any crimes, be it in New York or D.C. or Florida or Georgia or wherever else they try
00:01:10.720 to legally lynch him next. He is being arrested and imprisoned, potentially for over 700 years,
00:01:17.700 because he's the leader of an actual political opposition. Political opposition in America is
00:01:24.920 frequently play-acted. It's not real. Candidates run against each other. Sometimes they even differ
00:01:31.460 on some matters of policy. But on the big, controversial questions that you're not allowed
00:01:38.100 to bring up, mass migration, globalization, liberalization, war, those kinds of things,
00:01:45.160 on those issues both parties in recent decades have tended to deliver the same results, no matter who wins.
00:01:51.660 Until Trump. Trump, who upended Republican orthodoxy on all of those things. So now they're going to get
00:01:59.580 him. And they'll make up some crimes to justify it along the way. But most importantly, they're going
00:02:06.120 to make sure that we watch it. Because this is not an ordinary prosecution. It's a legal and political
00:02:13.920 revolution. A total upending of our established traditional political order. And the revolution
00:02:21.260 will be live-streamed. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:43.920 Welcome back to the show. The White House wants to take away your beer. They want you to only have
00:02:49.100 two beers per week. We'll get to that in just that really important news story in just one second.
00:02:53.100 First though, while Donald Trump is having his show trial broadcast for the whole world
00:02:59.660 on a bazillion indictments for seven million years in prison, the White House is asserting
00:03:05.940 executive privilege to cover up the crimes of Joe Biden. So Joe Biden would appear to have
00:03:12.080 committed actual political corruption. There is an investigation into that now. Biden denied that
00:03:18.560 he ever engaged in any of the corruption with Hunter Biden as the front man for the enterprise
00:03:23.420 and with the crooked foreign adversaries and even allies who Hunter encountered to sell Joe's
00:03:31.740 influence when he was vice president of the United States. The White House is saying, no,
00:03:35.680 not going to happen. So what's been the timeline here? Joe denies any knowledge of this. It comes
00:03:42.880 out that he knew about it. Joe denies any involvement. It comes out he was very involved
00:03:46.380 in the business on a whole lot of phone calls, invited Hunter's business partner over to the White
00:03:51.200 House for lunch, that sort of thing. Then Joe Biden says, well, I've had no correspondence with my son
00:03:58.520 about business, which is sort of true in the sense that Joe Biden conducted business with his son
00:04:02.480 under a pseudonym while he was vice president. In fact, under multiple pseudonyms while he was
00:04:07.560 vice president. So if a conservative were to file a Freedom of Information Act request for all of the
00:04:13.260 emails of Joe Biden pertaining to Rosemont Seneca, the front group, the fake company through which Hunter
00:04:20.580 was conducting this business, no records would turn up. That's because Joe Biden was using a pseudonym.
00:04:27.000 So now a conservative group, America First Legal, files a FOIA request for all the pseudonyms that
00:04:33.160 Joe Biden used to conduct the business with Hunter. And the National Archives says no.
00:04:38.720 And the National Archives is able to say no to this FOIA request because Joe Biden is asserting
00:04:44.800 executive privilege. And this is a big victory. It seems like a failure because we don't get those
00:04:51.580 records. This is a big victory. FOIA, Freedom of Information Act, can prove guilt even when we
00:04:59.260 don't get the documents because the very fact that the White House is exerting executive privilege here
00:05:05.780 proves that these pseudonymous emails involved the president.
00:05:11.020 If these pseudonyms, Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, all of these Joe Biden pseudonyms, if they were not
00:05:24.380 actually the pseudonyms of Joe Biden, the White House would have no standing to exert a certain
00:05:29.540 executive privilege. But because they obviously do here, we know Joe Biden was doing all of this stuff.
00:05:35.400 And yet, they are going to throw up roadblock after roadblock for the investigation of actual
00:05:41.760 crime. We're talking about actual high-level political corruption, selling American influence
00:05:46.780 to the highest bidder, raking in millions and millions of dollars, at least from around the
00:05:51.940 world. Meanwhile, Donald Trump as president called an elected representative in Georgia and said,
00:06:01.260 hey, Georgia elected officials, I think that the election was kind of corrupt. Can you look into
00:06:07.780 that for me? And for that, they're going to try to throw him in the clink. They've arrested his
00:06:12.180 lawyers. They've arrested activists for him. And they're going to live stream the show trial.
00:06:16.740 Speaking of live streaming, this is the saddest story in our politics right now. Forget about Biden.
00:06:22.660 Forget about Trump. Forget about war. Forget about disease. Forget about...
00:06:25.980 Did you know that the late-night TV hosts have been out of work for well over three months now?
00:06:33.960 Probably you didn't. If you did, it's because I mentioned it once a couple of weeks ago,
00:06:37.460 which was the first time that I realized it. Because there's a writer's strike in Hollywood.
00:06:41.220 So the WGA is on strike, which means the writers for the late-night shows are on strike,
00:06:44.900 which means the shows are in reruns. And nobody noticed it because very, very few people watch these
00:06:49.240 shows anymore. So in order to fight back against this and try to make some money for the staff of
00:06:54.500 these shows, all of the big late-night hosts, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon,
00:07:02.280 Seth Meyers, all of these guys are doing what all white men in America are obliged to do, 0.75
00:07:11.860 which is start a podcast. Here's their podcast.
00:07:14.160 One more time, Jimmy.
00:07:17.100 Yeah. Hi, I'm Jimmy Fallon.
00:07:19.040 I'm Stephen Colbert.
00:07:20.380 I'm Jimmy Kimmel. I thought when you said Jimmy, you meant me, Jimmy, but you meant Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:07:24.600 I always mean you.
00:07:26.020 But when you say Seth Meyers, who do you mean?
00:07:29.580 I mean, John Oliver.
00:07:31.020 It's the five of us together for maybe an hour a day.
00:07:36.200 Strikeforce5 is the name of our podcast. Subscribe to it now.
00:07:40.480 Spotify or wherever else you get your podcasts. 0.99
00:07:44.240 But Spotify, you f***. 0.99
00:07:47.120 Oh, my face is never going to lose this permanent state of cringe. 1.00
00:07:53.080 Do you get it? I was talking to the one Jimmy, not the other Jimmy.
00:07:56.320 And then they all try to get their little line in there.
00:07:59.240 And then John Oliver, who I forgot was even in the podcast,
00:08:01.580 he just does the John Oliver routine, which is he says something not funny,
00:08:05.120 but then he says the F word afterward.
00:08:07.040 So that's supposed to pass for comedy.
00:08:09.800 And this was a revelation to me.
00:08:13.420 And it's a revelation because when I was a kid, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, these were huge stars.
00:08:22.980 These guys hosted the initially was just one late night show.
00:08:26.360 Then it was, you know, two, then three, then four late night shows.
00:08:29.840 But still, these were huge, huge shows that commanded a huge audience.
00:08:33.080 And now all of these guys, the hosts of the supposed big late night shows,
00:08:38.140 these are franchises that go back decades in network television.
00:08:41.320 They have the same job that I do.
00:08:43.340 We have the exact same job now.
00:08:44.760 We just have podcasts.
00:08:49.720 And this isn't merely a way to get around the writer's strike and remain relevant and stay in the news and maybe make some money for the staff.
00:08:58.260 This is true even when they're on TV.
00:09:01.200 This is why no one noticed that they were off air because their audiences, which used to be gigantic, have dwindled down to very, very little.
00:09:09.780 Johnny Carson, on his last week on air, averaged 19 million viewers per show.
00:09:18.200 His final show, Johnny Carson's final show had 50 million viewers.
00:09:23.020 And by the way, this was in 1992.
00:09:26.520 The U.S. population in 1992 was just north of 250 million people.
00:09:31.280 Today, it's something like 330 million people.
00:09:33.160 So the equivalent today to 50 million viewers, the last night of the Johnny Carson show, would be equivalent to 65-ish million viewers today.
00:09:44.660 What are these guys getting?
00:09:46.480 These guys are pulling in a million people a night.
00:09:50.960 Maybe, maybe a little more.
00:09:52.440 Or sometimes significantly less than that.
00:09:54.880 Half a million people a night for Seth Meyers, I think.
00:09:58.280 That's a podcast.
00:10:00.620 The major network late-night shows have become a podcast.
00:10:04.940 And so any continued allure of the establishment media is a virtual Potemkin village.
00:10:12.660 The culture has just divided up.
00:10:14.380 There's no one thing that commands all of the eyeballs, probably until the Trump show trial.
00:10:20.320 That will probably be the highest ratings of any television program in decades.
00:10:24.760 But that's all divided up.
00:10:26.560 And this is important for our political order because the ruling class was able to exert a lot of soft power when everyone was tuned in, certainly to the three network television stations.
00:10:37.600 And then even with cable, people were still watching a lot of the same kind of stuff.
00:10:42.240 So you can exert a lot of soft power through propaganda and conditioning.
00:10:45.560 But when that totally breaks up and everyone's just listening to their own podcasts, which get, what, a million views or even half a million views?
00:10:51.720 Some podcasts get very fewer and still have a devoted following.
00:10:55.520 Well, then the political order's got to get a little tougher.
00:10:58.220 If they can't exert that soft power and people are starting to ask questions and people are starting to question things and people are starting to think for themselves, then the enforcement mechanism of the state is going to get a lot tougher and it's going to start cracking down on dissidents.
00:11:10.880 It's going to start arresting people who question the ruling class as we are seeing every single day.
00:11:16.180 That is the consequence of a breakdown of the common culture.
00:11:18.940 Maybe it's a good thing because we're not all as hypnotized as we used to be, but now the bare reality of our political order and the coercion that it entails is becoming much clearer.
00:11:30.760 And we've got to talk about that.

00:12:34.280 Also, when you're hanging out with your friends, you've got to play the game.
00:12:39.920 The most popular game in the entire world, according to the Michael Knowles Institute of Card Games.
00:12:47.920 Yes or no?
00:12:48.820 It is spicy, controversial.
00:12:50.620 Some might say conspiratorial.
00:12:52.680 The yes or no game is all that and so much more.
00:12:54.760 Now the anticipated follow-up to that best-selling game is finally here.
00:12:58.140 Yes or no?
00:12:58.940 Also, Conspiracy Expansion Pack.
00:13:00.660 It's available at dailywire.com slash shop.

00:13:30.080 I would order this now.
00:13:31.020 We've sold out of this game three or four times at this point.
00:13:34.540 It always sells out pretty quickly.
00:13:36.540 So if you are going to want it, looking ahead if you're going to want it for Thanksgiving, if you're going to want it for Christmas, I would just get it now.
00:13:42.400 I don't know the next time they'll come in.
00:13:43.700 Hopefully we'll restock them soon, but order it now that you have the chance.
00:13:47.580 Speaking of live streaming and the judiciary, this is the most pathetic story of the week.
00:13:57.200 A federal judge has just ruled that age limits on porn, on online porn, are unconstitutional. 0.87
00:14:05.100 So some of us, conservatives, have said, just ban porn.
00:14:08.600 It's not good.
00:14:09.360 It's really bad.
00:14:10.260 It leads to the exploitation of women. 1.00
00:14:12.400 It leads to addiction, especially for young men.
00:14:15.820 It's in no way good for anybody.
00:14:18.640 It's like any drug.
00:14:20.720 We should just discourage it and ban it, ideally.
00:14:24.420 But the softer, more conciliatory middle ground approach is, well, hey, let's at least make sure that little kids aren't looking at porn.
00:14:32.340 We know that the median age of exposure to porn these days is something like 10 or 11 years old, maybe younger now.
00:14:38.260 So let's just, you've got to prove that you're at least 18.
00:14:40.700 Just like you used to go by a Playboy down the street at the magazine stand, you had to show an ID to do that.
00:14:45.620 Well, let's do that with far more egregious online pornography. 0.55
00:14:49.440 And a federal judge said, no.
00:14:51.780 No, you can't make sure that five-year-olds aren't looking at porn.
00:14:54.680 No, that's unconstitutional.
00:14:56.080 That's a violation of the First Amendment.
00:14:57.600 This weirdo judge, man, Judge David A. Ezra, senior U.S. District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, finds, quote,
00:15:09.000 the court finds that HB 1181 is unconstitutional on its face.
00:15:13.960 That's the law saying we're going to have some age limits on porn. 0.88
00:15:16.880 Prohibited Texas from any further enforcement of this law pending further order or final judgment.
00:15:25.980 They say the statute is not narrowly tailored and chills the speech of plaintiffs and adults who wish to access sexual materials.
00:15:34.600 The law is not narrowly tailored because it substantially regulates protected speech, is severely under-inclusive, and uses overly restrictive enforcement methods.
00:15:43.860 Okay.
00:15:44.800 I don't know who needs to hear this.
00:15:46.340 I guess this federal judge needs to hear this.
00:15:47.920 I'll pull myself closer to the microphone here.
00:15:52.580 Pornography is not protected speech.
00:15:56.380 It's not. 0.99
00:15:58.040 In the last 50 years, we've pretended that it's protected speech in America because of some stupid Supreme Court rulings, but it's not. 1.00
00:16:07.400 It's smut. 0.99
00:16:08.740 Our founding fathers, the great men who built our country, the wise statesmen through all of Western civilization,
00:16:12.960 have never considered pornography to be protected speech.
00:16:17.140 It's obscenity.
00:16:18.200 It's smut.
00:16:18.900 It appeals to the prurient interest.
00:16:21.100 It has no artistic merit.
00:16:22.780 It has no speech quality.
00:16:25.100 It's like, think of it this way.
00:16:26.960 When an animal grunts, is that the same thing as when a human being gives an oration?
00:16:35.240 Is the barking of a dog the same as the Pericles funeral oration?
00:16:39.660 No.
00:16:40.060 They're both sounds, but they're not both speech.
00:16:44.960 When we have an argument, when we write a letter, when we give a speech, that is speech.
00:16:53.240 There's meaning to it.
00:16:55.160 It appeals to reason.
00:16:56.720 It allows us to deliberate and think about things in an abstract way.
00:17:00.300 When a dog grunts, even when a baby screams for milk, that's not really speech.
00:17:06.080 That's an expression of the instinct and of the appetite.
00:17:09.920 It can be an important type of communication.
00:17:12.660 It can have an effect in the real world, but it's not the same thing as speech.
00:17:16.940 Well, it's the same thing here.
00:17:18.680 When I watch a movie, if I watch Citizen Kane, that is speech.
00:17:24.500 If the court were to come in and say, you can't have Citizen Kane because we, the judges, don't like the movie, that would be a curtailment of speech.
00:17:34.540 Citizen Kane and some hardcore porn on the internet are not the same thing.
00:17:39.060 One is appealing to the intellect.
00:17:40.960 One is appealing to the soul, stirring the soul and calling up sentiment that ultimately does have a reasonable component to it.
00:17:51.220 Pornography just excites your lusts.
00:17:53.800 It's extremely unreasonable.
00:17:55.300 It's the opposite of speech.
00:17:56.460 Where did we get this from?
00:17:57.760 We got this from Miller v. California, which is this 1973 Supreme Court decision. 0.99
00:18:02.680 There are so many stupid decisions around this time. 0.96
00:18:05.560 Well, you had Roe v. Wade, obviously. 1.00
00:18:07.660 You had all of the weird sex cases.
00:18:10.700 And you got this one too, Miller v. California, which modified the definition of obscenity from that of, quote,
00:18:16.960 utterly without socially redeeming value to that which lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
00:18:23.800 So this is a weakening of obscenity and therefore a weakening of the government's ability to enforce obscenity laws.
00:18:28.860 Then in 97, we got, to my mind, the most egregious pro-porn decision that was in the name of free speech, but it was total BS.
00:18:37.700 And in a way, it's kind of undermined free speech.
00:18:39.380 The Supreme Court rules in Reno v. ACLU that the anti-indecency provisions of the Communications Decency Act were unconstitutional.
00:18:47.660 So we talk about the Communications Decency Act.
00:18:50.040 That often comes up as a way to regulate big tech because you hear about Section 230, which gives big tech platforms certain legal protections that have kind of screwed us over in the long run because it's allowed big tech to censor conservatives while receiving the protections of an online platform rather than a publisher.
00:19:06.320 But the Communications Decency Act is really about decency and communications, and it was a law intended to address the new technological and social issue of online pornography.
00:19:16.600 There was a similar law passed around this time called the Child Online Protection Act, and Republicans wanted to pass it.
00:19:22.700 Democrats wanted to pass it.
00:19:23.780 Even Bill Clinton, who was a little bit loose in that arena of sexual propriety, he signed it into law.
00:19:29.580 And yet this ridiculous court says, no, you can't have anti-indecency provisions because that would be a curtailment of free speech.
00:19:36.820 Porn is not free speech, and this is a reminder conservatives are never going to win by trying to split hairs and find some conciliatory middle ground with something as egregious as hardcore online porn, a ubiquitous social problem causing all sorts of psychological and spiritual and health issues among American people.
00:19:55.400 Just ban it. 0.91
00:19:57.400 Just go out there and be bold and ban it and appoint bold judges and don't do this to totally shred the Constitution or anything like that, what the liberals say.
00:20:06.780 No, do that to return us to a time when we had a far more reasonable principle of constitutional interpretation and statutory interpretation.
00:20:16.580 Before the 1970s, do you think things were more reasonable or less reasonable?
00:20:22.780 Did the 1970s make things were better and better behaved and more conducive to flourishing?
00:20:29.420 I don't think so.
00:20:30.580 70s was the decade of disco and weird sex stuff and cocaine, okay?
00:20:34.820 And things have only gotten crazier since.
00:20:36.740 So let's be bold, guys.
00:20:39.220 Forget about this, well, we're going to just make sure that only 18-year-olds can look at porn, not 17-year-olds. 0.77
00:20:45.020 Now, just get rid of it. 0.91
00:20:45.880 It's bad.
00:20:46.360 It has no socially redeeming value whatsoever.
00:20:50.940 Now, speaking of speech, I'm going to shift gears hard here.
00:20:55.640 Some people are voicing their opinion using their speech to say who they want to be the Republican nominee for president in 2024.
00:21:04.060 And you know all of the polls, pretty much all of them without exception, have been overwhelmingly in favor of Donald Trump.
00:21:10.560 But there's a new poll out that the people who don't want Trump to be the nominee are touting as evidence that maybe Donald will be upended as the frontrunner here.
00:21:21.520 This is a poll from the Young Republican National Committee showing Donald Trump as the favorite to be the GOP nominee in 2024.
00:21:34.560 Now, I hate to rain on this parade here for the people who are supporting Governor DeSantis, but I don't think this poll shows exactly what the anti-Trump crowd thinks it shows.
00:21:52.400 Now, we could talk about this over a nice barbecue sometime if you invited me over to your house.
00:21:57.580 But if you ever did that, you better make sure that you've got propane.

00:23:49.980 Young Republican straw poll results are in.
00:23:52.560 Top of the straw poll, Ron DeSantis with 36.6%.
00:23:57.640 He wins the straw poll.
00:24:00.480 Looks like good news for DeSantis.
00:24:02.560 Trump comes in second, very close second, 35.4%.
00:24:06.600 Vivek, third, 9.1%.
00:24:09.280 Nikki, 7.5%.
00:24:10.900 Tim Scott, 5.5%.
00:24:12.480 Okay.
00:24:14.420 This is in keeping with what I hear on campus.
00:24:17.720 I travel to a lot of campuses.
00:24:19.020 I give a lot of campus speeches.
00:24:20.140 I talk to a lot of young people,
00:24:21.140 especially the sort of young people who would join the college Republicans and who, when
00:24:25.880 they get a little bit older, would join the young Republicans.
00:24:27.620 Young Republicans are more for young professionals.
00:24:29.800 And I'll say, who are you supporting in 2024?
00:24:32.800 And the majority of them will say Ron DeSantis.
00:24:35.660 A minority of them will say Donald Trump.
00:24:38.320 That's pretty much all I've been hearing.
00:24:39.540 So this seems like good news for DeSantis, right?
00:24:43.420 It's a nice enough headline.
00:24:45.000 It is not enough.
00:24:46.640 And the reason it's not enough is because there are multiple factions in the GOP.
00:24:52.100 There is the young Republican, college Republican, Brooks Brothers, wearing, country club belonging,
00:25:02.840 a little bit more establishment leaning type of Republican.
00:25:07.140 There are also the more eccentric Republicans, the populists and the nationalists and the paleo-conservatives
00:25:14.880 and the traditionalists and all those ists and isms.
00:25:18.860 I once heard it described as the obscure political monikers being the right-wing version of gender pronouns.
00:25:26.040 There are just so many of them.
00:25:27.060 But there are these disparate factions.
00:25:29.320 Okay?
00:25:29.540 And the fact is, Donald Trump has the eccentric wing of the party locked up.
00:25:36.400 The populists.
00:25:37.480 They're not going for anybody but Trump.
00:25:38.820 Maybe they'll flirt with Vivek, but probably they're with Trump.
00:25:41.940 The nationalists, mostly with Trump.
00:25:44.860 The paleo-conservatives, pretty much with Trump.
00:25:48.080 All the eccentric wing, they're with him.
00:25:50.460 The group that Trump does worst with is the more establishment Brooks Brothers country club wing.
00:25:55.580 The YRs, the CRs, the neoconservatives, that type.
00:26:00.400 He does the worst with that.
00:26:02.120 If Trump is only trailing the number one spot among that group of conservatives by one and a half percentage points or less,
00:26:10.560 what is it, 1.2 percentage points, then his lead is dominant.
00:26:16.400 This is not just about Ron DeSantis.
00:26:18.020 Any candidate who wants to be able to compete seriously against Trump needs to be dominating among at least one of the factions of the GOP.
00:26:28.540 Think about Reagan and Bush in 1980.
00:26:31.220 Ronald Reagan had the conservatives, what we might call the eccentrists, the populists, the nationalists, the paleos.
00:26:38.480 Reagan had that part of the party, the social conservatives.
00:26:41.760 George H.W. Bush had the Brooks Brothers establishment committee part of the party.
00:26:49.280 And Reagan won, and then they came together in a unity ticket.
00:26:52.840 That's why Reagan picked Bush. 0.95
00:26:55.380 Here, Trump is statistically dead even among the establishment types.
00:27:00.880 So where does a competitor go from there?
00:27:05.340 Where does a competitor go?
00:27:06.600 The DeSantis campaign is obviously dealing with the lackluster poll growth, non-existent poll growth.
00:27:14.780 So now the Never Back Down Super PAC, which is the DeSantis Super PAC, has upended its strategy.
00:27:21.880 They've announced that they're going to stop door knocking in Nevada and California.
00:27:26.640 The reason for this, according to the spokesman, is they want to focus on the early primary states.
00:27:31.360 So Aaron Perrine, who's spokesman for the Super PAC, says, we want to reinvest in the first three, insinuating Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
00:27:40.660 We see real opportunities in the first three.
00:27:42.580 The first three are going to set the conditions for the March states.
00:27:44.600 Now, what's weird about this is Nevada is the second state, as far as I know.
00:27:51.900 I don't think South Carolina is in the first three.
00:27:53.780 I think Nevada is in the first three.
00:27:55.180 So I don't know what lines are getting crossed here, or if this is some spin, because maybe they're not doing as well in Nevada.
00:28:02.100 Either way, a turning away from Super Tuesday.
00:28:05.620 If you launch your campaign, you say, we're going to be in all these different states, and we're going to—forget about the first primary states.
00:28:10.260 We think we're already going to do very well in Iowa and New Hampshire, and we're already looking ahead to the Super Tuesday states.
00:28:15.660 And then you pull back from that.
00:28:17.560 That's not a good sign.
00:28:19.140 I've worked on some presidential campaigns where that's not a good sign.
00:28:23.560 I've seen it, and we've seen it happen for many years.
00:28:27.420 So I don't think DeSantis is out yet, okay?
00:28:31.960 And I say—I know people are going to say I'm carrying water for Trump or something here.
00:28:36.300 I'm really not.
00:28:37.560 I do like Trump.
00:28:38.740 I like Trump very much.
00:28:39.560 He's the best president in my lifetime.
00:28:41.700 I think he reshaped the Republican Party in a good way.
00:28:44.200 I also really like Ron DeSantis.
00:28:45.980 And my analysis would be absolutely the same if I hated Donald Trump or if I hated Ron DeSantis.
00:28:53.140 My analysis would be the same.
00:28:54.960 And I think the analysis has been pretty close to accurate, and I think it's been proven right at pretty much every step of the way going back about six months now.
00:29:03.720 So don't shoot the messenger, guys.
00:29:05.800 If you're upset that Donald Trump is leading, then you've got to change your campaign strategy or perhaps just recognize that the conditions in this presidential race—we have not seen this kind of thing since, what, 1892, where a conservative—I'm sorry, where a president is running for a non-consecutive second term.
00:29:23.300 Maybe the conditions are just such that it's not the year to challenge somebody.
00:29:27.920 That's the conclusion that Glenn Youngkin, obviously, has reached in Virginia.
00:29:32.060 He's a great-looking presidential candidate who just thinks he's not going to beat Trump, and so he's staying on the sidelines, at least for now.
00:29:39.480 But if you're pegging your hopes on, well, my candidate is one point higher than the guy who's 40 points ahead in the national polls, and he's one point higher among the young Republican National Committee, that ain't going to cut it, man.
00:29:54.160 And you're going to spin your wheels and spend a lot of money on a strategy that is going to continue not to work.
00:29:59.740 Now, there is some not-so-terrible news for Ron DeSantis.
00:30:04.320 There's something being reported as awful news for Ron DeSantis, which is actually fake news.
00:30:08.340 And the story is that a pro-DeSantis super PAC, a $50 million super PAC, has shut down and has flipped sides and is now supporting Donald Trump.
00:30:15.720 And as far as I can tell, that's just completely made up.
00:30:17.840 So this is from the Daily Mail.
00:30:20.420 Exclusive, Ron DeSantis, $50 million super PAC, closes doors after donors were spooked by rookie mistakes.
00:30:27.780 A strategist, John Thomas, secured $50 million in donations for Ron to the rescue.
00:30:31.680 The group will shut down after donors had second thoughts, and now they're going to support Trump.
00:30:38.180 The super PAC appears to have had basically no money on hand.
00:30:41.280 It secured promises for donations, but it never actually got the money, and it just seems like a scam.
00:30:47.560 There are a lot of scam super PACs out there because the super PACs are not allowed to have any direct relation to the candidate.
00:30:54.100 So today, I could start the Doug Burgum for – Doug Burgum is the man, give us your money super PAC.
00:31:00.620 I've never met Doug Burgum.
00:31:02.000 I have no intention of giving Doug Burgum any of my money, and I could go raise all of that money.
00:31:05.920 Donald Trump had to deal with a lot of this, people raising money based on the positive feelings for Donald Trump.
00:31:11.900 And then the Trump campaign never got the money at all.
00:31:15.100 So that seems to be what's happened here.
00:31:17.300 So that's a fake news story.
00:31:20.720 But the real news stories are bad enough.
00:31:24.320 Okay, and so I've said it for months now.
00:31:27.640 I have no intention of endorsing in this primary.
00:31:29.960 I like primaries.
00:31:31.080 I like when the candidates duke it out so that they can get tougher for the general election.
00:31:35.600 Trump's a big boy.
00:31:36.460 He's got thick skin.
00:31:37.360 The same thing goes for DeSantis.
00:31:38.620 The same thing goes for Vivek and the other guys too.
00:31:41.220 Even when we talk about these different parts of the party, I'm a fairly eccentric Republican who also wears a lot of Brooks Brothers.
00:31:50.040 Okay, I think I see the different aspects of the party relatively clearly.
00:31:54.300 And as of now, Trump's lead seems to me solid.
00:32:00.460 Totally, totally solid.
00:32:01.960 Now, speaking of stories that seem like fake news, in this case stories that are not actually fake news, the White House wants to take away your beer.
00:32:11.900 They want to limit you to two beers per week.
00:32:15.460 Does President Biden want to limit Americans to two beers a week?
00:32:22.500 Where is this coming from?
00:32:23.920 Maybe I didn't miss you so much.
00:32:26.360 Where is this coming from?
00:32:27.920 All right, well, Dr. George Koob, who is the director of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, says the U.S. may soon follow Canada and recommend just two beers a week.
00:32:42.380 How do you guys think that's going to go?
00:32:43.840 Let me tell you what I'm not going to get involved in, in that question right there.
00:32:48.560 I have no idea.
00:32:49.860 I've not seen the data.
00:32:51.080 I cannot speak to this.
00:32:52.660 I will leave it to the experts and not weigh in.
00:32:55.640 So if the experts say two beers a week, that's okay with the President Biden?
00:32:58.300 I will leave it to the experts.
00:33:00.340 I'm just not going to comment on that.
00:33:01.440 Okay.
00:33:02.300 This is a great exchange.
00:33:04.980 Not because of the beer thing.
00:33:06.400 Who cares?
00:33:06.880 No one's going to follow this advice.
00:33:08.420 But because of what it tells you about the experts and what the conservatives think about the experts and even what the liberals think about the experts.
00:33:15.980 When Peter Doocy asks this question, Corrine Jean-Pierre gets a little smile.
00:33:20.780 She goes, oh, here we go, the beer question.
00:33:22.960 Yeah. 0.97
00:33:24.280 Corrine Jean-Pierre knows this is ridiculous. 0.90
00:33:26.940 She knows that there's no win answering this politically, but she also knows that two beers a week is ridiculous, and it's almost certainly a bogus study, and no one's going to pay attention to it. 0.85
00:33:36.900 But what does she say?
00:33:37.620 She says, yeah, we, look, I'll defer to the experts.
00:33:40.840 All right.
00:33:41.440 Yeah, okay.
00:33:42.040 Listen to the experts.
00:33:42.880 In a way, she is admitting the same thing about the experts that the conservatives have now long thought, which is the experts are often full of it.
00:33:54.900 They conduct their studies.
00:33:57.300 The studies often arrive at silly conclusions, and so we discard them.
00:34:01.800 Oh, yeah.
00:34:02.200 Well, listen to the experts, Peter.
00:34:03.700 Teehee.
00:34:04.600 Yeah, whatever.
00:34:05.500 Moving on.
00:34:06.080 She's tacitly admitting that the experts are often wrong, but she won't go all the way.
00:34:16.420 She's tacitly admitting it's ridiculous, but she's also, her substantive answer is, just listen to the experts.
00:34:25.440 It's an amazing, very, very subtle admission and response.
00:34:31.340 And what it comes down to, what the upshot of all of it is, I think, is that everybody knows the experts frequently get it wrong.
00:34:38.300 The one thing I know about science is that statistically it's almost always wrong because scientific discoveries and innovations end up getting upended sometimes centuries later, sometimes generations later, sometimes weeks later.
00:34:50.540 It's a tacit admission that our trust in science is misplaced, but it's also an admission that the political ruling class will wield the supposed credibility of science willy-nilly as a way to skirt responsibility, as a way to avoid democratic accountability, certainly.
00:35:13.060 They'll just use them in a really arbitrary and capricious way.
00:35:16.440 All of that contained in this silly little exchange about beer, because it's not going to be so silly when the exchange is about the next vaccine you're going to have to take.
00:35:24.840 And it's not going to be so silly when the exchange is about how you're going to have to shut down your business and lock down and not go to granny's funeral, and you're going to have to vote by mail because COVID-23 has come around and the election's right around the corner.
00:35:37.480 That's going to be a little less funny about beer.
00:35:39.460 We're all going to be drinking probably significantly more when that happens, but it's going to be the exact same principle at play.
00:35:44.860 Speaking of Joe Biden, the Democrat leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, has just come out, and he's on the defense against the rumblings that the Republicans are considering impeaching Joe Biden.
00:36:03.700 They have nothing to show for their majority throughout the year, and so as a natural consequence of that, they just continue to take orders from Donald Trump, their puppet master in chief, who has directed them to persecute and to go after Joe Biden, which may take the form of an illegitimate impeachment inquiry.
00:36:26.340 Pot, meat, kettle, yes, obviously very hypocritical, insane, that as they're arresting Donald Trump, after they impeached Donald Trump twice over complete nonsense, they're complaining that the Republicans are considering opening an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
00:36:45.760 When did this all start? 0.94
00:36:46.840 This started with Watergate when the Democrats were prepared to impeach Richard Nixon over nothing, and then it accelerated during the Clinton era when the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton over perjury, and then they didn't impeach Bush.
00:37:03.220 They didn't impeach Barack Obama.
00:37:05.680 John Boehner said we're not going to impeach Obama, basically just because he was the first black president.
00:37:09.060 They didn't want to be called racist.
00:37:10.300 And then they made up for lost time when they impeached Trump twice, and now the Republicans might impeach Joe Biden.
00:37:17.260 So this is just what we do now.
00:37:18.400 The political opposition just impeaches the executive.
00:37:21.360 This has become the pattern.
00:37:22.920 It's not the exception.
00:37:24.340 The Democrats did start it with Nixon, just as the Democrats started the Supreme Court fights with Robert Bork.
00:37:30.820 But the Republicans have participated, too.
00:37:32.680 This is the way the system works now.
00:37:33.780 And as usual, the Republicans are behind, because it's no longer just about are we going to open an impeachment inquiry.
00:37:39.220 Now the Democrats have already upped the ante.
00:37:43.100 They are now arresting the former president.
00:37:46.160 They're now arresting the opposition leader.
00:37:47.760 They're now arresting the lawyers who have the audacity to be lawyers and to represent the sitting president of the United States.
00:37:54.680 They're arresting political dissidents like the five pro-lifers who demonstrated against abortion.
00:37:59.740 They're facing 11 years in the clink.
00:38:01.020 They're going to lock up hundreds of January 6thers who committed the heinous, traitorous, treasonous crime of wandering around the Capitol for a few hours and then going home. 1.00
00:38:10.160 It's a sad state that our political order is such that we're always going to impeach the other guy now, or that that's at least the expectation.
00:38:18.880 But the sadder fact is we're still trailing behind.
00:38:22.100 We're still fighting yesterday's war.
00:38:24.960 The Republicans bring a knife to the fight, and the Democrats bring a bazooka.
00:38:29.720 Ooh, we're considering opening an impeachment inquiry.
00:38:32.200 Cool.
00:38:32.580 They're going to put Trump in an orange jumpsuit for 700 years if they don't outright execute him.
00:38:36.340 Okay, so maybe we should start engaging in lawfare a little bit more aggressively, a little bit more on par with what the Democrats have already been doing.
00:38:47.480 It doesn't look good for us.

00:39:51.100 My favorite comment yesterday is from Lindsay Hickman, 9604, who says,
00:39:57.300 The most bleeps in a Daily Wire show ever, and none of them were curses.
00:40:02.120 That's true.
00:40:02.880 If you were watching this show on the Daily Wire yesterday, maybe go check it out on YouTube.
00:40:08.000 It's kind of fun to see how few syllables I was able to get in in my introduction
00:40:12.980 because I had the temerity to speak about reality in a clear way.
00:40:21.020 So you're not allowed to do that on YouTube, at least in one particular case anymore.
00:40:26.100 So you can catch that.
00:40:27.300 And if you were watching on YouTube, you should go watch it on Daily Wire Plus
00:40:29.640 if you want to figure out what I was actually saying.
00:40:32.620 Now, finally, finally, we've arrived at my favorite time of the week
00:40:35.100 when I get to hear from you in the mailbag.
00:40:36.800 This mailbag is sponsored by Pure Talk.
00:40:38.080 Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles for your free, super durable 5G Samsung Galaxy.
00:40:41.720 When you switch to Pure Talk, take it away.
00:40:45.380 Hi, Michael. It's Kyle C. here.
00:40:47.480 First, I wanted to say that I really appreciate your straightforward
00:40:50.400 and honest assessment of the state of the GOP race so far.
00:40:53.560 I personally think you do the best out of any commentators in giving analysis of the race.
00:40:58.380 So my question is related to it and specifically about how the Democrats
00:41:02.400 are clearly interested in bringing back COVID lockdowns and rules back into society.
00:41:06.900 In my opinion, one of the biggest problems for Ron DeSantis' campaign
00:41:10.800 is that arguably his biggest strength in comparison to Trump is the handling of COVID.
00:41:16.940 But people have basically forgotten about it or don't really care to talk about COVID anymore.
00:41:22.460 So with this renewed interest from Democrats bringing back the COVID craziness,
00:41:26.800 do you think the spotlight on this will help the DeSantis campaign at all,
00:41:31.640 enough to bridge the massive lead that Trump holds right now?
00:41:34.540 Or do you think it will have little to no boost for him?
00:41:37.700 So I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thank you very much.
00:41:41.120 Yes, I think this is DeSantis' best shot.
00:41:43.560 Right now, the Democrats are testing out whether or not we have the stomach for COVID insanity again.
00:41:50.060 So they're doing it one school, one company, and one industry.
00:41:54.320 Okay, now maybe it's two schools.
00:41:56.180 And they're just testing it to see if we'll go along with it.
00:41:59.400 And people probably will because it was politically very effective for the Democrats.
00:42:05.320 So DeSantis' best shot certainly is to remind people that he was very strong during COVID.
00:42:11.520 I'm not convinced this will—even that would bring him across the finish line
00:42:15.240 because DeSantis will continue to govern well on COVID, and Trump will not have any responsibility.
00:42:20.880 He'll just be on the campaign trail, and he can say whatever he wants
00:42:23.140 and come out strongly against the COVID lockdowns, and it'll sound just as good.
00:42:28.520 In the same way that Vivek Ramaswamy has never held public office,
00:42:33.240 but he says things that are very appealing, and he's had a successful career in private enterprise.
00:42:40.680 So when he says things, he gets just as much credit, if not more credit,
00:42:44.760 than governors or senators who have been in the government arena on those issues.
00:42:49.040 That would be my guess.
00:42:51.880 If DeSantis can really tie Fauci around Trump's neck, it might help pull him down.
00:42:58.080 I do agree it's his best shot.
00:42:59.580 I'm not sure it's enough, but it's his best shot.
00:43:01.660 Keep going.
00:43:03.400 Dearest doctor of love at the Daily Wire,
00:43:06.020 I have two questions for which I need your suave wisdom.
00:43:09.680 First and most importantly, is it possible to be a part of the creme de la creme
00:43:14.060 without taking on the moniker of cream puff?
00:43:16.700 No.
00:43:16.960 My sock-footed loafers are far too heavy for such a designation.
00:43:21.580 Yeah, I know.
00:43:22.080 You got to dance, man.
00:43:22.820 I don't know what to tell you.
00:43:23.660 I've been meeting regularly with a woman for a couple months,
00:43:26.300 and despite both being in our mid to late 20s,
00:43:28.840 neither of us have ever been in a serious or long-term relationship.
00:43:32.660 I have never known someone with whom I've met eye to eye with on everything,
00:43:36.400 more than with her.
00:43:37.740 Everything from theology to family roles, political views, life goals,
00:43:42.020 even down to minute details that are of no real importance.
00:43:44.520 The problem is that neither of us feels particularly attracted to the other.
00:43:49.240 Is this where an opposites attract cliche comes in?
00:43:53.300 Is attraction something that grows as you get to know someone beyond the first couple months?
00:43:58.080 My question is, how much of a role do you see romantic attraction playing in a relationship?
00:44:03.640 No other woman that I have ever have been attracted to has ever reciprocated that affection.
00:44:08.900 So do I just give up on finding that and continue pursuing a relationship with someone I'm not particularly attracted to,
00:44:15.840 but see life through the same lens as?
00:44:18.080 Or does romantic attraction play an important role in a relationship?
00:44:21.620 Thanks for your help.
00:44:23.580 A really good question.
00:44:24.960 Yes, it can grow.
00:44:29.900 And yes, if you marry this woman, you could have a wonderful, beautiful marriage.
00:44:34.980 And the love, if it's a good marriage, your love will deepen.
00:44:37.600 I love sweet little Elisa today more than I ever have.
00:44:42.340 And I've loved sweet little Elisa for decades.
00:44:44.500 But the caveat I'll say there is, you know, sweet little Elisa and I went to middle school and high school together.
00:44:50.920 I remember, this is a little, this is my VTMI.
00:44:54.520 I remember having like a dream about sweet little Elisa when we were in sixth or seventh grade.
00:45:00.500 Like I thought she was just a little hottie, you know, when we were 12 or whatever we were.
00:45:05.140 And I actually remember the dream.
00:45:07.740 And it was saucy and not fit for the queen. 0.54
00:45:09.380 And I won't mention it.
00:45:10.660 But I was instantly physically attracted to my beloved wife.
00:45:18.540 And I think it does, it's important.
00:45:23.180 I do think it's, I'm not saying you can't have a good marriage without that.
00:45:26.100 People have in history.
00:45:28.020 But especially you say you've never had any relationship before.
00:45:31.020 You don't really know how to do it.
00:45:33.640 You might just consider your circumstances.
00:45:36.060 I mean, how old are you?
00:45:37.480 How large is your social circle?
00:45:39.400 How long do you want to wait until you do get married? 0.99
00:45:42.640 Do you want to play the field a little bit?
00:45:44.680 I, you know, sweet little Elisa and I split up for college.
00:45:49.900 And, you know, I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking of how awful my life would be had I not married sweet little Elisa.
00:45:58.280 And that's because of, obviously, the most important kind of attraction, which is the attraction to her virtue and her goodness and all those things.
00:46:06.920 But also, you know, she's just a hottie. 1.00
00:46:10.100 I don't know, and that matters too.
00:46:11.780 We're physical creatures too.
00:46:12.940 We're incarnate.
00:46:13.760 We're not just floating in outer space, you know, in the ether or something like that.
00:46:17.360 So I wouldn't, the physical is not primary and it should not be primary in any love affair or certainly in any marriage.
00:46:24.640 But you got a body.
00:46:27.160 You are your body too, as well as your soul.
00:46:30.640 Okay, we got more to get to.
00:46:31.660 We got more voicemail bag.
00:46:32.520 We got more written mail bag.
00:46:34.500 We've got, of course, Fake Headline Friday.
00:46:37.100 I need your help in discerning which the fake headline is.
00:46:40.860 So head on over now.
