00:00:30.280 We'll get to the news in a moment.
00:00:37.380 First though, I've got some personal news that I would like to get to first.
00:00:42.120 This is personal news that I have been working on intensely for a little over a year now.
00:00:47.160 It's news that I've been mulling over and working on every now and again for about 15 years.
00:00:51.640 It is news that I wanted to mention here first because I think it's going to sell out.
00:00:56.280 I think very quickly.
00:00:57.420 And I, of course, wanted to give the creme de la creme of the Michael Nolscher audience, first dibs, on.
00:01:02.880 That would be, at long last, my personal line of cigars.
00:01:08.020 Made available commercially for the first time ever, Mayflower cigars.
00:01:12.640 There are few things in this life that I've loved longer than my wife, whom I first kissed at age 16, and cigars happened to be one of them.
00:01:21.700 I had my first cigar when I was 15.
00:01:23.940 When I was a kid, the cigar rollers in the Bronx would give them to me when we went grocery shopping because I was too young to buy them.
00:01:30.820 I wrote my college admissions essay about how much I love cigars.
00:01:34.280 I started a cigar club in school to fund my habit as a broke college kid.
00:01:39.180 I called it the Society for Intellectual Growth and Reinvigoration, or cigar.
00:01:44.920 You get it?
00:01:45.440 Do you get it?
00:01:46.340 I got this very show by writing a cigar column years ago that impressed Jeremy and Caleb.
00:01:52.420 Among my most prized possessions is a box of cigars that my mother gave me many years ago, which I've rationed out and saved for the great milestones in my life.
00:02:01.980 I had been pitching the Daily Wire on launching a cigar company for probably five years.
00:02:07.360 When finally, probably just to get me to shut up about it, they gave me the green light one year ago.
00:02:13.360 And crucially, they let me do whatever I want with it.
00:02:17.980 There is no restriction whatsoever.
00:02:20.460 I was able to make the brand, the blends.
00:02:23.060 I was able to pick the factory, the distribution, everything.
00:02:26.840 The result is two cigars.
00:02:30.180 The Mayflower Dawn, which I'm smoking now.
00:02:32.680 This is an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade cigar with Cameroon binder and Nicaraguan filler.
00:02:36.920 It's a mild to medium-bodied smoke, perfect morning smoke, perfect for people who prefer the occasional cigar with maybe a little bit more of an approachable flavor profile.
00:02:46.320 And then the second cigar is the Mayflower Dusk, an Ecuadorian Habano cigar with Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan filler, a fuller-bodied smoke, better suited for the evening or for those who enjoy a more aggressive flavor profile.
00:02:59.300 Each blend comes in three distinct sizes.
00:03:03.380 Both cigars are magnificent.
00:03:09.020 I'm smoking the dawn, had the dusk last night.
00:03:13.920 We tried out many, many blends to arrive at the absolute perfect combination of tobaccos with the absolute perfect construction and the absolute perfect amount of aging.
00:03:22.820 Fine-tuned precisely to my extremely exacting standards.
00:03:27.980 It's very, very American.
00:03:29.520 The country was in many ways built on tobacco.
00:03:31.920 George Washington grew tobacco for his whole life before the revolution, after the revolution.
00:03:36.320 Thomas Jefferson grew tobacco.
00:03:38.420 Tobacco was discovered in the Americas.
00:03:40.420 I can say with 99.997% confidence that both of these will be the best cigars you have ever had in your life, whether you are a cigar connoisseur or merely the occasional dabbler.
00:03:51.920 I can also tell you that these cigars are all produced at the very finest cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, which is arguably the most important cigar city in the world today.
00:04:02.120 And coincidentally, this is really full circle.
00:04:05.120 These cigars are produced at the same factory that made that cherished box of cigars that my mother gave me all those years ago.
00:04:12.500 The name Mayflower honors our country and the voyage that founded our country on which four of my ancestors sailed.
00:04:18.320 You can read more about that story at mayflowercigars.com.
00:04:20.820 You must be 21 years old or older. 0.95
00:04:22.980 Some exclusions may apply as we do not ship to all states.
00:04:26.060 You can also buy the cigars there, boxes, samplers, a bunch of stuff in between.
00:04:30.180 And I would strongly recommend if you want to try the smokes or grab a box or two for Thanksgiving or for Christmas gifts that you order them right now.
00:04:36.680 We are launching first on my show because it is only right that you in the Michael Knoll Show audience get first dibs.
00:04:44.080 I'm certain that this initial run is going to sell out fast.
00:04:46.740 We are working to make more as quickly as possible.
00:04:48.920 But folks, this is a handcrafted luxury good, and we will not rush it.
00:04:53.800 So if you're interested in trying the greatest product the Daily Wire has ever produced, what this whole company has been leading toward, get yours now.
00:05:02.700 In the meantime, I am smoking the Mayflower Dusk, and I am Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:05:08.860 Welcome back to the show.
00:05:29.140 We're going to war. 0.85
00:05:30.060 I'm now convinced of it. 0.94
00:05:31.260 The way I know we're going to war is the Army has just released an ad that got rid of all the lesbians and the woke stuff. 1.00
00:05:39.100 And now the new Army ad is just a bunch of straight white guys, which means, man, oh, man, we're going to war. 0.62
00:05:44.840 We'll get to that in a second.
00:05:45.780 First, though, you know, I've often thought where there is smoke, there is fire.
00:05:51.020 And this would contradict what a lot of people believe these days.
00:05:55.300 A lot of people, including Castor Semenya, who is a man, but he's got some genital abnormalities. 0.98
00:06:03.420 And he just explained on BBC Sport as an athlete that his testicles don't make him any less of a woman.
00:06:12.560 You know, the medical terms, what they tell me, you know, my testosterone, you know, being born, you know, without the uterus, you know, being born with internal testicles, those don't make me less of a woman.
00:06:25.000 It's just the differences that I was born with, and I embrace them.
00:06:30.260 They don't make you less of a woman, exactly.
00:06:33.460 They make you not a woman. 1.00
00:06:34.540 If you are born with testicles, you're not a woman. 1.00
00:06:42.080 I'm fairly confident, as everyone used to be confident until very recently. 0.98
00:06:46.960 This example here from Castor Semenya is a really good one because the pro-trans activists love to muddy the waters in this debate by pointing to so-called intersex people, hermaphrodites, people who have sexual ambiguity from birth. 0.89
00:07:04.860 And they try to say, look, because some people have genital ambiguity and deformities from birth, therefore, I, who have the body that is perfectly categorized as a male body without any confusion whatsoever, I, because I, I don't know, like looked at too much porn or something or I went to some public school where the libs indoctrinated me, I now think I'm a woman.
00:07:24.480 Therefore, I really am a woman.
00:07:26.160 And the evidence for this, I, the trans activist, will point you to is that there are so-called intersex people.
00:07:32.300 But even in the case of the intersex people, it's usually not all that confusing.
00:07:38.740 In the case of Castor Semenya, what he has is, I think I'm pronouncing this correctly, 5-alpha reductase-2 deficiency.
00:07:47.060 But I don't know except for SRD5A2 is the, the gene encoding enzyme, or it's, it's caused by mutation, rather, in the SRD5A2.
00:07:59.820 And it's a rare condition, it affects only men, only people who are genetically male.
00:08:06.280 It's got a broad spectrum.
00:08:07.580 But what it means is that there can be some ambiguity at birth.
00:08:10.160 You could have a very small male appendage at birth, and you could have conditions like the male gonads or inside the body or whatever.
00:08:18.020 But there's, there's no doubt, there's no doubt listening to this person, and there would not even really be much doubt examining this person upon birth, that this is a man.
00:08:28.400 Hat tip to Riley Gaines here, the female athlete who has spoken at against the, the inclusion of so-called trans women in sports. 0.61
00:08:38.520 This, I think, should, should really be a focus of the debate.
00:08:41.380 A lot of conservatives try to shy away from the intersex part of the gender ideology, and they focus only on the obviously ridiculous claims of the transgender activists, that even if my body is perfectly male, I can somehow secretly be a woman on some metaphysical level.
00:08:57.480 Which doesn't, doesn't line up with biology.
00:09:00.040 It doesn't line up with philosophy or theology or metaphysics at all.
00:09:03.620 It doesn't line up with anything.
00:09:04.580 But in a way, I think we should lean into the intersex part and say, oh yeah, okay, which conditions are you talking about? 0.50
00:09:11.360 Well, people that have chromosomal abnormalities, like, say, Turner syndrome.
00:09:16.180 Turner syndrome, a woman only has one X chromosome. 0.69
00:09:18.860 Everyone knows that those women are women. 1.00
00:09:21.220 There's no question, no one has ever seriously doubted that.
00:09:23.660 Well, what about this particular deficiency affecting Castor Semenya? 0.95
00:09:27.300 Yeah, he's got a deep voice, and every cell in his body is male, and he has testicles, and he doesn't have a uterus.
00:09:32.040 He's obviously a man, even if he's got some difficulties and deformities. 0.95
00:09:38.180 Even on the intersex part, the hermaphrodite part, the ambiguity part, it's pretty clear the gender ideology is bunk. 0.90
00:09:45.900 Speaking of aggressive women, this is, I shouldn't laugh at this story, but it really, man, does this perfectly sum up our political culture and most people's grasp on international relations.
00:09:57.860 A woman tried to attack Jews because she's upset over this war in the Middle East, and so she found a building that had a Star of David on it, you know, the two triangles, and she assumed, with reason, that this was a Jewish building.
00:10:16.080 So she drives her car at the building, but it turns out the building was not owned by Jews.
00:10:22.340 It was owned by black Hebrew Israelites who, they're that group that yelled at the young white conservative kid in the MAGA hat and called him all sorts of names. 0.92
00:10:32.580 This is a group that believes that the Jews aren't really the Jews, and black people are really the Jews. 0.95
00:10:37.720 And the irony is that the black Hebrew Israelites tend to hate the Jews, and so she, hating the Jews, attacked her natural allies in attacking all of the Jews. 0.86
00:10:55.020 Of course, most people don't know a thing about the Jews or the Muslims or even the Christians. 0.58
00:11:04.460 Most people don't know a thing about the history of conflict in the Middle East.
00:11:08.960 Most people don't know a thing about foreign policy more broadly.
00:11:12.580 I'm not putting myself above everyone here. 0.99
00:11:14.720 I probably don't know very much more than this ignorant woman does. 0.99
00:11:17.460 So then it leads to a question, how are you supposed to figure out how to think about these complex issues that involve religion and culture and race and ethnicity and peoples and, today, foreign policy? 0.98
00:11:33.080 And my rule is, you look at who is supporting each side.
00:11:38.780 That rule, if you follow it to its conclusion, will help you sleep better at night.

00:12:35.740 That's what they used to call me in high school.
00:12:37.160 This is their best offer yet.
00:12:38.960 It won't last long.
00:12:40.540 With Helix, better sleep starts right about now.
00:12:46.780 My rule of thumb for dealing with complex problems, call it prejudice, call it intellectually lazy.
00:12:53.120 Listen, we don't have time to get to the bottom of every single issue and to write 10,000 word reports on every political matter under the sun.
00:13:00.440 My rule of thumb is, look at who is supporting which side.
00:13:05.420 In the case of the Israel-Palestine thing, I don't live in Israel.
00:13:10.040 I don't live in the Palestinian territories.
00:13:12.000 I'm not a Jew. 0.89
00:13:12.660 I'm not a Muslim.
00:13:14.040 I don't buy into any of the theological claims, really, that either side is making with regard to this land.
00:13:20.960 So how am I supposed to figure out which side I basically support, which side I basically oppose?
00:13:25.740 I can't help but notice that on the Palestine liberation river to the sea, get rid of the Jews side, you have many of the worst people in the United States, including people like Rashida Tlaib, who House Republicans are now threatening to censure. 0.69
00:13:39.980 And people like Ilhan Omar, who is losing it at the prospect of Tlaib being censured.
00:13:46.400 What is true here is that every single one of them has not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in the tens of thousands, but will continue to say it is us who are not acknowledging humanity. 0.61
00:14:01.740 Rashida will stand strong.
00:14:03.340 Gentle lady's time has expired.
00:14:04.820 The Palestinian movement will continue for liberation until every single Palestinian has the right to live in liberty.
00:14:12.040 Gentle lady's time has expired.
00:14:12.060 Gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
00:14:14.780 The Palestinian movement will allow Rashida Tlaib as the greatest person.
00:14:18.760 This woman could not be more fired up. 1.00
00:14:21.000 Listen to the passion in her voice.
00:14:22.920 Listen to the righteous indignation, the anger.
00:14:25.440 Now compare that, the way that Ilhan Omar is talking about Palestinian liberation and her squad colleague Rashida Tlaib.
00:14:37.000 Compare that with the way that Ilhan Omar talks about Al-Qaeda.
00:14:41.500 The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said Al-Qaeda, he sort of like his shoulders went up.
00:14:51.400 Yeah, he's in command here.
00:14:52.880 Al-Qaeda, you know, hospital.
00:14:54.280 He's an expert.
00:14:55.440 And it was, you know, as...
00:14:57.680 What's his name?
00:14:58.600 We're putting his name on the air.
00:15:00.460 We are not saying his name.
00:15:02.700 Yeah.
00:15:03.100 You probably get to see him on CNN.
00:15:05.760 Yeah, of course.
00:15:06.780 I love those guys.
00:15:07.580 But, you know, but it is that you don't say America with an intensity.
00:15:12.500 You don't say England with an intensity.
00:15:14.880 You know, you don't say the army with an intensity.
00:15:20.040 Carter.
00:15:20.360 But you say these names because you want that word to carry weight.
00:15:27.420 Al-Qaeda.
00:15:29.380 September 11th.
00:15:30.760 Oh, isn't that so...
00:15:33.120 It's just crazy.
00:15:34.640 And by the way, lest one think that we're taking her point out of context or we're unfairly criticizing her point.
00:15:40.260 She explains her point.
00:15:41.060 She says, oh, why do people pretend that Al-Qaeda is such a terrible thing?
00:15:47.940 We don't talk about America that way.
00:15:50.260 We don't talk about the army that way.
00:15:52.900 She is, at the very least, drawing a direct comparison between Al-Qaeda and the people who killed 3,000 American civilians on September 11th with the United States broadly, with the U.S. Army, with England.
00:16:11.680 At the very least.
00:16:13.780 Probably, she's going a little softer on Al-Qaeda.
00:16:17.500 She's laughing.
00:16:18.200 Oh, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, come on. 0.76
00:16:20.440 Why do you people think this?
00:16:21.320 But no, you cannot censure Rashida Tlaib.
00:16:25.480 She is the greatest person.
00:16:26.880 It's not just Ilhan Omar.
00:16:28.140 Their other colleague, Cori Bush, perhaps more eccentric even than the squad.
00:16:32.900 Cori Bush went off on the potential censure.
00:16:36.460 A lack of care and a lack of understanding and a lack of seeing the humanity of folks who look like Rashida Tlaib. 1.00
00:16:43.900 It's outrageous that my colleagues are blatantly, blatantly attempting to silence the only Palestinian-American representative right here.
00:16:52.040 It's outrageous, but it's not surprising.
00:16:54.180 And let me tell you, it's not surprising because this place is where 1,700 members of Congress diselected body enslaved black people. 0.96
00:17:02.200 It's not surprising because they thought it was right.
00:17:04.440 It's not surprising because this is a place where members continue to claim that the insurrection on the Capitol just appeared to look like a normal tourist visit.
00:17:13.060 It's not surprising because this is the place where our black and brown staff members repeatedly speak of experiencing racism and sexism, Islamophobia, get pushed off of elevators, xenophobia, and more right here in this workplace.
00:17:25.680 This is the place.
00:17:26.140 This is the place.
00:17:27.300 And let me say this.
00:17:28.500 She mourns for the 1,400.
00:17:29.960 The gentlelady's time has expired. 0.54
00:17:31.300 She mourns for the 10,000.
00:17:32.980 And she will not stop.
00:17:34.760 No more.
00:17:35.500 No more.
00:17:36.240 I cease fire now.
00:17:37.980 And she takes the death threats that you all sent.
00:17:40.880 The gentlelady is no longer recognized.
00:17:43.360 The gentleman from Maryland.
00:17:45.020 To her.
00:17:46.740 The desire to save lives is greater than me.
00:17:49.480 Gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
00:17:52.260 That's what I said.
00:17:53.620 We heard what you said, lady.
00:17:55.200 We got the cutter mic.
00:17:59.080 And that's what I said.
00:18:02.860 I don't know much about the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
00:18:06.660 I know some people obsess over it.
00:18:08.380 It's the most important conflict.
00:18:09.560 I don't know much about it.
00:18:10.940 It seems rather intractable to me.
00:18:14.260 However, I have to assume these people are wrong.
00:18:19.160 I cannot imagine that Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush and all of them are wrong.
00:18:25.200 All of the people who are wrong about everything in American politics.
00:18:28.580 It's difficult for me to believe that they just happen to be right about this thing.
00:18:32.700 I don't think that you need to support all of the Israeli government policies.
00:18:36.880 I certainly don't.
00:18:37.640 In fact, I'm somewhat furious at the Israeli government for funding Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict against the Armenians.
00:18:45.540 Armenia, the oldest Christian nation in the world.
00:18:47.020 I don't like that.
00:18:48.580 I see why Israel is doing that because the Israeli government is using Armenia as a way to attack Iran, which is why Iran, oddly enough, is backing Armenia.
00:18:58.580 That doesn't make sense.
00:18:59.400 And Russia is now backing Azerbaijan, the Muslim country, against Armenia, the Christian country. 0.69
00:19:05.400 Armenian-Russian relations at all time lows.
00:19:07.040 I get it.
00:19:07.440 Look, it's very complicated.
00:19:08.440 I see why all these nations are doing things that are somewhat unexpected.
00:19:13.960 I don't, obviously, I don't believe in the theological claims with regard to the Holy Land being made by the state of Israel or by the Palestinian Muslims for that matter.
00:19:24.380 But if I've got to come to a conclusion over which side, basically, I'm going to be on in the conflict, am I going to be on Ilhan Omar's side?
00:19:35.080 Am I going to be on Cori Bush's side? 0.93
00:19:36.680 Those ladies sound like maniacs, okay? 1.00
00:19:38.640 Am I going to be on Rashida Tlaib's side? 0.61
00:19:40.560 Rashida Tlaib, who says we need to empty out all the prisons in America and abolish the prisons and criminal justice system? 1.00
00:19:46.380 No, I don't think so.
00:19:47.500 And call it prejudicial and call it, I don't know, intellectually lazy to just lump in another issue with all of the issues that these people who are wrong about everything happen to believe in.
00:20:00.500 But if you tell me that Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar just happened to be right about this one thing and this one thing only, I would be rather surprised.
00:20:09.740 Now, we want to protect people, obviously.
00:20:11.260 I've said the American interest in this war is to contain the war as quickly as possible, to protect the innocent one.
00:20:17.500 And to protect American national interest as well.
00:20:20.480 I suppose that's the first consideration for U.S. foreign policy.
00:20:24.220 When you want to protect innocent people right here in the United States, got to check out Preborn.
00:20:28.880 Right now, go to preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:20:32.720 Yesterday, I got to catch up with my good friends from Preborn.
00:20:36.020 They came to the offices.
00:20:37.380 I love their mission.
00:20:38.640 They're great.
00:20:39.300 I know you do as well.
00:20:41.020 That is why I'm really, really thrilled to partner with them on this show.
00:20:45.460 What does Preborn do?
00:20:46.240 They help mothers and their children in crisis.
00:20:49.500 Preborn is reaching into the hearts of women by allowing them to hear the hearts of their babies and introducing them to their precious little lives.
00:20:58.800 This connection, just hearing the ultrasound, doubles a baby's chance at life.
00:21:05.400 Every day, Preborn's network of clinics rescues 200 babies' lives.
00:21:09.160 We all talk about how important it is to protect life and to stop abortion.
00:21:12.660 They do it every day.
00:21:14.620 200 babies a day live rather than be murdered because of Preborn.
00:21:20.460 And you can help, too.
00:21:21.300 Your gift of $28 for a free ultrasound goes directly to women in need, and Preborn doesn't take any of that money.
00:21:28.100 They independently fundraise for their team and their administrative costs.
00:21:31.060 So every cent that you give goes directly to the mothers to saving babies' lives.
00:21:37.680 I think it's great.
00:21:38.380 All gifts are tax-deductible, especially, you know, the end of the year comes, and you don't know where you want to give, but you don't know.
00:21:43.980 These guys are absolutely impeccable.
00:21:46.160 You know your dollars are going the distance.
00:21:48.800 Dial pound 250, say keyword baby.
00:21:50.560 That's pound 250, keyword baby.
00:21:52.220 Or you can donate securely at preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S, preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:21:58.540 All right, folks.
00:22:00.360 I already gave you my pitch for these cigars.
00:22:02.220 I'm not going to rehash it too much.
00:22:03.660 They may already be sold out.
00:22:05.120 I don't know.
00:22:05.880 You know, the thing about the Mayflower cigars is we've done, I think it was 30,000 was the initial run that we were able to get perfectly aged in time.
00:22:15.620 We've got more coming, but it's just, you can't rush it.
00:22:18.700 The cigars have to be aged perfectly.
00:22:19.840 So go to Mayflowercigars.com to get yours today.
00:22:22.200 You must be 21 years old or older to purchase.
00:22:24.960 Some exclusions may apply.
00:22:28.440 I look forward to lighting this.
00:22:29.640 Look at that.
00:22:30.540 Man, guys, look at that perfect.
00:22:32.380 I've taken like three puffs, and even still, the burn line on a less beautiful cigar would be all over the place, kind of wonky.
00:22:38.580 This burn line, basically perfect, even just with a few puffs.
00:22:41.840 Maybe I'll light that back up during the member block.
00:22:43.560 We have a special guest coming up there today.
00:22:46.080 The other way I know that this war is heating up, unfortunately, is that the Army has changed its pitches.
00:22:54.180 Here is the new U.S. Army ad.
00:22:55.600 Stand up!
00:23:06.900 It's okay.
00:23:07.660 I've seen a lot of straight-looking white guys.
00:23:10.640 I've seen more straight-looking white guys than I've seen in any Army ad in recent memory.
00:23:14.480 And then they, wow.
00:23:15.620 And it's not social activism.
00:23:17.160 They're just jumping out of helicopters with parachutes.
00:23:19.420 The greatest victories are never achieved alone.
00:23:24.000 Be all you can be.
00:23:24.880 Even a return to the old U.S. Army motto when I was a kid, I remember, be all that you can be.
00:23:32.220 Be all you can be.
00:23:33.480 Oh, man, we're going to war.
00:23:35.260 We're going to war. 0.85
00:23:35.820 I felt better about our prospects for peace back when the U.S. Army ads did not focus on men fighting and preparing to kill our enemies. 0.96
00:23:45.660 Back when the U.S. Army ads focused on women bragging about their lesbian mothers. 0.97
00:23:53.460 I suppose one of them is probably the mother.
00:23:55.520 And going to pride parades and festivals and rallies growing up.
00:24:00.620 Begins in California with a little girl raised by two moms. 0.81
00:24:06.780 I also marched for equality.
00:24:09.460 I like to think I've been defending freedom from an early age.
00:24:14.000 When I was six years old, one of my moms had an accident that left her paralyzed.
00:24:18.820 But she tapped into my family's pride to get back on her feet. 0.99
00:24:23.100 Eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom.
00:24:27.020 And after meeting with an Army recruiter, I found it.
00:24:31.000 A way to prove my inner strength.
00:24:33.040 I'm U.S. Army Corporal Emma Malone Lord.
00:24:38.000 And I answered my calling.
00:24:40.600 Let me translate that ad for you.
00:24:42.340 That was not that long ago that that ad came out.
00:24:44.360 The translation of that ad is, hey, normal, patriotic, conservative dudes who have made up the bulk of the U.S. military for all of our nation's history.
00:24:57.520 Yeah, go away. 0.99
00:24:58.240 We don't want you. 0.98
00:24:58.860 We don't want you guys.
00:25:00.940 And why?
00:25:01.540 Why would the libs who control the military at the top level, the vast majority of people in the U.S. military remain normal and furious at their leadership. 0.97
00:25:11.820 But I'm talking about the Mark Millies of the world.
00:25:14.660 I'm talking about the chairman of the Joint Chiefs screaming about white rage and how we need to teach our recruits critical race theory.
00:25:23.440 And why?
00:25:24.720 Why is the Army leadership doing that?
00:25:27.280 Why were they doing that?
00:25:28.440 Because at the level of leadership, those jobs become very, very political.
00:25:36.800 At the level of enlisted guys and most officers, even still most officers, they're serving their country with plain, not exactly partisan motives.
00:25:48.420 But when you get to those top levels, those politically appointed levels with a lot of influence from Washington, obviously those become very, very party political.
00:25:55.960 And I think the left saw that they had a problem, which is the left saw that they had conquered academia, the news media, Hollywood, corporate America.
00:26:05.660 That took them a little longer, but they managed to conquer corporate America.
00:26:08.980 They obviously had the bureaucracy.
00:26:10.840 They had a lot of the elected government, basically everything, except for the military.
00:26:15.900 The military remained pretty much the one institution that the conservatives still had.
00:26:21.500 And so they set out very intentionally to conquer the military.
00:26:25.520 And one way to do that is to use the military to push a lot of woke propaganda.
00:26:30.500 Another way to do that is to brainwash the new recruits and teach them critical race theory and have them understand white rage.
00:26:35.960 And another way to do that is to convince the conservatives not to join up anyway.
00:26:39.480 So they put out this advertisement.
00:26:41.280 This advertisement, I think, was less about recruiting new people to the Army as it was about discouraging the normal kind of, the older kind of people from joining the Army. 0.91
00:26:51.020 Saying, hey, you straight white guys, hey, you conservatives, hey, you get out of here.
00:26:55.300 We don't want your kind anymore. 1.00
00:26:57.160 Now, the issue is no Army has ever won a war when it was made up primarily of leftist woke lesbians. 0.97
00:27:07.880 That I can't, I was a history major in school, history buff as an adult.
00:27:12.820 I've never read about that Army victory for any nation ever in the history of the world. 0.94
00:27:19.460 When you want to win wars, you need extremely tough, masculine brutes who want to go in and kill the enemy. 0.98
00:27:27.840 You know, George Patton's speech to the Third Army, war is a bloody killing business. 0.98
00:27:32.120 When your best friend beside you is blown up and you got his guts all over your face, you'll know what to do. 0.99
00:27:38.040 Kill the enemy. 1.00
00:27:39.600 Go through that enemy like a hot knife through butter. 1.00
00:27:42.760 Like S-H-I-T through a tin can or whatever they said.
00:27:48.240 That's what you want.
00:27:50.100 And so now that we're on the brink of World War III again, you'll notice the ads shifting.
00:27:54.640 I guess in a way it's good that the Army is recognizing that, you know, pride parades are not going to win a war.
00:28:03.140 But bad news in that they fear that they will have to win a war.
00:28:06.000 That we will all have to win a war soon.
00:28:07.600 Turning to domestic politics.
00:28:10.540 Klaus Fitz said that war is the extension of politics by other means.
00:28:15.260 Five Republican Florida state legislators have just switched from endorsing Ron DeSantis to endorsing Donald Trump.
00:28:21.260 Trump, this was a few days ago, Trump gained seven endorsements from state legislators.
00:28:27.920 This was the same day he gave a speech at the Florida Freedom Summit.
00:28:31.300 So two people who had not yet endorsed endorsed Trump.
00:28:33.700 And then five flipped.
00:28:34.780 The ones who flipped were our state reps, Jessica Baker, Webster Barnaby, Alina Garcia, Kevin Steele, and State Senator Debbie Mayfield. 0.94
00:28:42.860 Now, on the other side of that news cycle, the governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds, just endorsed Ron DeSantis.
00:28:49.900 So, where does that leave the race?
00:28:53.360 I think, don't shoot the messenger.
00:28:56.300 You know, I love Ron DeSantis.
00:28:58.000 I think this is just yet another sign.
00:29:01.340 The momentum is with Trump here.
00:29:04.240 Trump unveils these endorsements.
00:29:05.940 Why would someone who had previously endorsed one candidate switch?
00:29:08.760 The reason that they would do that is because they believe, maybe they had a genuine change of heart.
00:29:14.220 Or, more likely, they realized that the guy they backed is not going to win.
00:29:20.740 And so they can still get on the team that appears more likely to win.
00:29:24.260 And maybe they'll be able to receive some political favor as a result of that.
00:29:27.800 And maybe this will help with their reelection campaigns.
00:29:29.800 They could get some kind of appointment.
00:29:31.620 That's what they're after.
00:29:32.520 Now, shortly after that announcement, DeSantis formally announces that he's got the endorsement of the governor of Iowa.
00:29:42.360 Good for him.
00:29:43.160 Maybe that'll swing some boats. 0.96
00:29:44.540 Trump is still way up in Iowa, in the polls and among committed Iowa caucus goers.
00:29:49.260 So, I don't know that it moves a whole lot.
00:29:52.280 Even if it does, Iowa hasn't predicted the Republican nominee for president since George W. Bush.
00:29:59.940 But in 08, 12, 16, it hasn't.
00:30:04.440 So, I'm not sure that that's particularly persuasive now.
00:30:10.360 And furthermore, I think DeSantis had to pull the trigger on the Kim Reynolds endorsement,
00:30:15.620 which has been rumored for weeks now because Nikki Haley is tied with DeSantis in Iowa. 0.91
00:30:20.360 So, even the DeSantis campaign moves its people to Iowa to say, this is going to be our big stand,
00:30:25.340 and this is where we're going to take the momentum away from Trump.
00:30:27.460 But even there, Nikki Haley has come up, and she's rivaling DeSantis for the number two spot.
00:30:33.020 So, I think DeSantis, in a way, had to make the Reynolds announcement less to hurt Trump's momentum
00:30:38.760 and more to hurt Haley's momentum over there. 1.00
00:30:41.440 Why is all this happening, though?
00:30:42.680 Why hasn't?
00:30:44.140 Especially if you're someone who loves Ron DeSantis and you're backing his campaign
00:30:47.440 or you love Nikki Haley or any of the other candidates.
00:30:50.360 Why is it the case that Trump keeps doing so well?
00:30:53.020 I think there are a lot of reasons for that.
00:30:54.320 But even in this present news cycle, I think the war in the Middle East helps Trump.
00:30:58.520 And the war in the Middle East helps Trump because Trump, unexpectedly to most,
00:31:03.160 brought peace to the Middle East.
00:31:05.080 Trump had the best Middle East policy of any president in my entire lifetime.
00:31:10.140 Maybe the best Middle East policy of any president, probably better than Reagan's, maybe better.
00:31:20.040 I don't know.
00:31:20.640 I don't even know how far back we would go into the 20th century.
00:31:23.800 He had a great Middle East policy.
00:31:26.340 The Abraham Accords were a major victory. 0.94
00:31:28.060 The fact that he destroyed ISIS, first of all, then basically seemed like a dove and didn't 0.67
00:31:37.100 want to go and launch new wars in the Middle East, but then would occasionally drop the
00:31:40.400 Moab or would occasionally assassinate an Iranian general.
00:31:43.020 And so that unpredictability had people playing real, real polite. 0.88
00:31:48.240 That's why people are looking and they're saying, man, Donald Trump, who we were told was crazy 0.91
00:31:52.400 and wild and a cowboy, he had peace in the Middle East when he was president.
00:31:56.540 Joe Biden, who we told was a return to normal, brought us war in the Middle East, which sadly
00:32:00.680 is normal, I guess.
00:32:02.800 It was the same arguments with Reagan.
00:32:04.520 Reagan's a cowboy.
00:32:05.560 He's going to start World War III. 0.77
00:32:06.880 And then what happens?
00:32:08.100 He was a major peace president whose presidency helped bring about the end of the Cold War.
00:32:14.020 Now, speaking of Ron DeSantis, DeSantis just had a very good answer to
00:32:17.260 one of the sillier but still more significant criticisms of his campaign, namely that he
00:32:22.720 wears high heels. 0.88
00:32:23.740 This has been a meme going around for a while. 0.97
00:32:25.960 It seems ridiculous and frivolous.
00:32:28.500 I haven't even really wanted to address this claim because I think it's so crazy, but it 0.85
00:32:32.640 has persisted and it's grown even louder.
00:32:35.380 So finally, Eric Bolling was just asking Governor DeSantis about the high heels.
00:32:39.600 Here's the governor's answer.
00:32:41.280 I've been watching over the last, I don't know, maybe 10 days or so.
00:32:44.220 So and there are these gotcha people, these people who just want to sit there and they
00:32:47.760 want to talk about how tall you are, whether you're wearing boots with with what do they
00:32:52.880 call it?
00:32:53.260 Heel extenders inside.
00:32:55.000 I mean, I mean, Governor, the southern border is a disaster.
00:32:59.540 Terrorists are coming across the border.
00:33:01.020 We got two wars that we're kind of funding and they want to talk about how tall you are.
00:33:07.260 Respond, please.
00:33:08.160 Well, I look, Eric, this is no time for foot fetishes.
00:33:12.560 We've got serious problems as a country.
00:33:14.960 I know Donald Trump and a lot of his people have been focusing on things like footwear.
00:33:19.540 I'll tell you this. 0.78
00:33:21.120 You know, if Donald Trump can summon the balls to show up to the debate, I'll wear a boot 0.99
00:33:25.300 on my head. 0.99
00:33:27.240 I'll wear a boot on my head.
00:33:28.800 This is no time for foot fetishes.
00:33:30.400 That's a funny line.
00:33:31.700 That's a funny.
00:33:32.180 That's a good line.
00:33:32.800 And the issue is he should have had that line in place a week ago.
00:33:37.960 He should have had that line in place when he was on the podcast with Patrick Bette David.
00:33:43.240 The DeSantis campaign, I don't blame DeSantis necessarily, but his campaign needs to anticipate
00:33:48.520 these things, whether or not he's wearing boot extenders or heels and whatever.
00:33:55.960 Certainly, if you're going to wear those things, and even if you're not, you need to anticipate
00:34:00.860 those questions being asked and have good zingers, especially when you're going up against
00:34:05.680 the guy who has the best zingers in politics, certainly since Reagan, probably even better
00:34:10.300 than Reagan's.
00:34:11.800 It's just this feeling for a lot of people, I think, that, man, DeSantis, he's good.
00:34:17.740 He's a great governor.
00:34:18.920 He's had great policies.
00:34:20.640 But he's just, he doesn't quite have it on the campaign trail.
00:34:26.560 I'm not even saying that's my view.
00:34:27.960 I'm not endorsing in the primary, you know, I like Donald Trump a lot.
00:34:31.020 I really like Ron DeSantis, and I like some other people in the race also.
00:34:35.160 I'm not prescribing, but merely describing what's going on in the race and why this campaign
00:34:41.340 has not caught on.
00:34:43.560 It's just a little, a little bit off.
00:34:46.760 It's just a little bit too slow.
00:34:48.180 It doesn't quite make the sale.
00:34:51.520 Now, we want our political campaigns, we want our whole political order to be very healthy.

00:35:28.900 Nutrition's not brown.

00:36:27.840 My favorite comment yesterday is from LL Zamenhof, who says, you know it's going to be a good
00:36:32.280 video when the YouTube sensitivity warning pops up.
00:36:34.500 Yes. Yes. Pretty soon, I think the episodes of my show are going to go down from 45 or 46 minutes
00:36:41.180 down to about four minutes when they have to cut out everything they have to cut out.
00:36:45.660 That's why you got to go to dailywire.com or on X. It's the new name for Twitter to watch the show.
00:36:52.260 Speaking of cleverness, a woman has gone viral because she has a PhD and she took an IQ test 1.00
00:36:59.820 next to some guy that she thought was just a dumb rube hillbilly. And the dumb rube hillbilly did 0.99
00:37:06.280 better on the IQ test than she did. I'm 21. I'm a high school graduate and I work in the Marine Corps. 1.00
00:37:12.120 I'm 30 years old. I have my PhD in cancer biology and I work in a biotech industry. Grad school,
00:37:19.040 I went to University of South Carolina and undergrad, I went to University of Florida.
00:37:22.580 One, two, three, four, five, six. Two, me, I don't know, PhD, cancer biology scientist. I work in a
00:37:32.160 biotech company. We make COVID-19 testing kits, stuff like that. And then six. It has nothing to do with
00:37:37.960 your background. I don't think you really have the highest EQ out of all of us. Tyler, he ranked last
00:37:43.220 for me personally because the way he carries himself. He was ranking intelligence based on his point of
00:37:48.860 view and not taking in other people's point of views. So number one is Raymond. Number two would
00:37:54.140 be Kaylee. Number three will be Tyler. And number four would be Shada. Number five is Sean. And number
00:38:01.440 six is Maria. 1.00
00:38:07.980 So the guy, the big dumb rube idiot guy who only has a high school education, he has a much higher IQ 0.99
00:38:14.100 than the gal who has all these degrees and she's a cancer researcher or whatever. I am not surprised 1.00
00:38:22.460 by this. One of the biggest downsides to university expansion and to credentialism is that it convinces
00:38:30.620 people that they're much smarter than they are. One of the big problems that has happened at the
00:38:35.460 universities is that social engineers and political activists took over in the 1960s and 70s and insisted
00:38:42.560 in the name of what we would now call inclusion, equity, and diversity, that we had to lower the
00:38:48.220 standards at all of the universities. And people of all backgrounds, all racial backgrounds, geographical
00:38:54.200 backgrounds, many argued that this was a bad idea because you were going to destroy education for
00:38:59.700 everyone. And for some kids, they weren't even going to be able to meet the new lower standards and
00:39:04.340 they were going to flunk out and there was going to be a mismatch there. But there's another downside to
00:39:09.420 this, which is that as college and university admissions skyrocketed and all of a sudden,
00:39:17.520 I think it was right around the time that I graduated high school, something like 70% of high school
00:39:22.620 graduates went to college, an all-time high. It's actually gone down since then. One of the downsides
00:39:28.580 to that is you were going to persuade people without any basis that they are much smarter than they are.
00:39:34.980 Whereas that kid with the high school degree and nothing else, he doesn't labor under any of
00:39:41.000 those delusions. He has a good dose of humility and he's probably right, actually. It's not just
00:39:47.620 that he underestimated his intelligence. It's that he's probably right. Most of us are not that
00:39:52.300 intelligent. We don't, you know, I read books for a living in large part and I still know basically
00:39:58.360 nothing. My education is still relatively pretty derelict by many historical standards.
00:40:05.440 But the problem is if you have the PhD and you've got all these fancy accolades and for however you
00:40:11.440 were able to acquire them, you just think you're so much smarter than you are. And that kind of hubris,
00:40:17.500 that pride will blind you and it will make you look dumber than the dumbest person you ever met on 1.00
00:40:25.060 the street. Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is 1.00

00:41:01.560 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered. Speaking of ordinary people being smarter and more competent
00:41:08.560 than liberal elites, there's a story I teased a few days ago that I want to come back to.
00:41:11.640 This is a trucker and a motor company founder absolutely destroying the liberal narrative on why we
00:41:18.780 all need to get rid of our cars and switch over to electric vehicles in about two seconds.
00:41:23.360 Do you ever see yourself going 100% EV? No. And why not? I mean, maybe. If battery
00:41:29.580 technology gets better, grid infrastructure gets better. But like this truck, like a long-end
00:41:34.500 truck uses about two and a half megawatts of power per day. With extra capacity in the battery means
00:41:39.500 you need a three megawatt battery pack. The biggest one is like a Tesla Semi, which is like a one
00:41:45.380 megawatt. Like, so you need three megawatts to run an electric truck. That would mean you would
00:41:50.100 need to pack 50,000 pounds, 40, 50,000 pounds of batteries just to do a full day. And then let's
00:41:56.180 say we can even get those batteries down to the same weight where it's reasonable. The grid
00:42:01.080 infrastructure, we haven't invested in our electrical grid since the 1950s, 1960s, 70s. Like,
00:42:07.620 just give me an example, logging trucks in BC. That's a niche industry. There's a 5,000 logging trucks
00:42:12.960 that haul logs at two and a half megawatts of consumption per day. That's 12 and a half
00:42:17.980 gigawatts of power. Site C dam has been under construction for the last, I don't know, 15
00:42:24.220 years at a cost of $20 billion. And that has a 1.1 gigawatt. So a $20 billion dam that takes 15
00:42:30.280 years to build has a 1.1 gigawatt capacity and logging trucks, just logging trucks alone are using
00:42:35.660 12 and a half gigawatts. You would have to flood an area of land the size of Wales to produce that
00:42:39.880 hydropower. I love it. It goes on by the way, but it is so refreshing to see knowledge and
00:42:47.900 competence. And it's especially delightful when the knowledge and competence are exhibited by someone
00:42:53.180 who is looked down on and dismissed by society. This is a white dude up in Canada, America's evil 0.97
00:42:58.840 top hat. And he's not wearing fancy clothes. He's just wearing flannels and he's out there. He's not in 0.70
00:43:03.980 a fancy office at the penthouse top floor of a skyscraper. He's just there in a field with some big
00:43:09.140 trucks. And he's interviewed and he's asked, hey, why don't you want to switch all the way over to
00:43:15.160 electric vehicles? He goes, well, yeah, I don't think I'm going to end up doing that. And you know
00:43:19.340 what the liberal audience says. They're going to say, oh, here we go. Here's this big, dumb,
00:43:22.860 rube idiot. He's probably a climate change denier. He, this guy, what does he know? He's just prejudiced. 1.00
00:43:29.720 He's just tied to his old ways because he likes big, scary sounding trucks. Yeah, here we go. Oh yeah.
00:43:35.280 Tell me why you don't want to switch to electric. He's like, well, you know, uh, here's a boot. The
00:43:39.440 reason why I don't think so is because, uh, the batteries need to be three megawatts, but the
00:43:44.520 largest battery at the moment is produced by Tesla. It's one megawatt. So it'd actually be worse for
00:43:47.920 the environment to be given the weight of it. It would be completely inefficient. It would be
00:43:52.200 impossible. And then if a train leaves St. Louis going 400 miles an hour at 1130 in the morning,
00:43:56.500 and then, and he just goes on and you realize, wow, this guy knows so much more than any of the
00:44:06.500 climate alarmist people. Well, there's a story I wanted to get to. I guess we'll have to get to it
00:44:10.640 later of, of these radical environmentalists, you know, the ones who paint themselves all sorts of
00:44:15.480 colors and throw soup on famous paintings and smash them up and glue themselves to the street. 0.99
00:44:19.580 Those guys, according to our ridiculous ignorant culture, those guys are the smart ones. They're 0.99
00:44:26.620 the science followers. And that guy who can recite to you every statistic, every fact about the
00:44:33.340 operation of these engines, about the dams, about the way energy is produced, about the various
00:44:40.020 manufacturers of electric vehicles. That guy's a big, dumb, stupid idiot because he doesn't believe 1.00
00:44:44.560 that the sun monster is going to kill us all in 10 years. If we don't throw soup on Van Gogh and 1.00
00:44:48.440 glue ourselves to the sidewalk, that is how flipped we are. Because, you know, those guys who glue
00:44:55.140 themselves, they probably have a PhD, you know, and that entrepreneur and trucker, who knows?
00:45:01.320 He might not even have studied sociology in graduate school. The rest of the show continues now. We have
00:45:06.180 a great number block today, in part because I will get to smoke more of my delicious Mayflower Dawn
00:45:12.440 cigar. But in part because my friend, Faith Clavin Moore, no relation to another couple friends of
00:45:18.640 mine who are named Clavin, has a great new book out. And it's a great new book just in time for
00:45:23.200 Christmas and even earlier. So head on over, become a member right now. Use code
