Summary
The Libs are pushing yet another weird sex thing, and it's just as bad as the ones they ve been pushing for years. It's the same trick they pulled when they appropriated the rainbow, and then used it to peddle the idea that a man can become a woman.

It's a day that ends in Y, and so the Libs are attempting to promote yet another weird sex thing.
00:00:44.400
Having already succeeded at convincing people of a dubious new definition of marriage,
00:00:49.220
and the possibility that a man can become a woman, and the health benefits of onanism,
00:00:54.020
the Libs are now focusing their rhetorical skill on persuading us all of the moral good of orgies.
00:01:01.780
The latest issue of New York Magazine takes up the challenge.
00:01:07.200
The new issue explores the world of ethical non-monogamy.
00:01:14.180
If you have to describe something specifically as ethical, it probably is not.
00:01:23.140
Ethical non-monogamy is a contradiction in terms.
00:01:30.180
If the adjectives and the nouns contradict one another, then you have a classic leftist expression.
00:01:37.700
This is a rhetorical trick the Libs use all the time.
00:01:40.680
Un-documented American is a classic example of that.
00:01:45.020
There is no such thing as an undocumented American,
00:01:47.700
because the reason that said undocumented American doesn't have documents is because he's not an American.
00:01:57.700
The package includes a feature by Allison Davis on one specific polycule,
00:02:03.020
and offers polycurious readers an in-depth guide to opening up their relationships.
00:02:11.560
The Libs are not just detailing the degenerate behavior of weirdos.
00:02:15.700
They are actively trying to get you to try it too.
00:02:21.440
No matter how many times they jam that word ethical in there,
00:02:25.040
they know that this behavior is repulsive and disordered.
00:02:29.280
And the proof of that is that the cover image on the magazine is a bunch of kittens.
00:02:37.580
An accurate portrayal of polyamory would depict sad girls with daddy issues and brain-fried satyrs.
00:02:47.220
It's the same trick that they pulled when they appropriated the rainbow.
00:02:54.080
and then they use them to their own disordered ends because the reality that they're peddling turns people off.
00:03:01.140
and by the time you become aware of the nasty reality,
00:03:05.000
they have already moved on to their next disordered lust.
00:03:40.300
Donald Trump Jr. is floating some possibilities,
00:03:43.820
some of whom are really great and some of whom are absolutely terrible.
00:03:52.200
First, though, I was going to say it wouldn't be a week of The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:57.740
Now I think it might have to be, it wouldn't be an episode of The Michael Knowles Show
00:04:00.740
if we didn't just briefly touch on some more of the weird sex stuff that the Libs are pushing.
00:04:08.140
If I had my druthers, we would never talk about weird sex stuff on the show at all.
00:04:12.100
I'm not the one that put the orgies on the cover of the big Lib magazines.
00:04:18.760
I'm not the one telling husky dudes to go into the girls' bathroom.
00:04:21.900
I'm not the one changing the definition of marriage.
00:04:29.000
I'm just observing it and making a comment on it.
00:04:38.820
And most egregiously, once they do all of that,
00:04:44.940
once they push their weird sex stuff, they then try to pin it on us.
00:04:51.880
Probably the most egregious part is when they destroy marriage and castrate kids.
00:04:55.940
But just after that is when they try to pin us for it.
00:05:00.240
Kind of like what Norm MacDonald said about hypocrisy.
00:05:04.040
The FBI has just arrested a trans-identifying person who is planning a massacre.
00:05:15.540
I think it's a dude, but he goes by the name Elizabeth.
00:05:21.840
Elizabeth West, so-called, was charged with making interstate threats based on a Facebook
00:05:28.260
post to the group Trans Woman Support Group, in which he said that he thought he was going
00:05:34.780
to be fired and he was tired of transphobic a-holes.
00:05:37.960
So he wrote, I'm too old to keep looking for jobs, and I've had it up to here.
00:05:42.780
Being bullied by transphobic a-holes, I am left with no alternative.
00:05:47.240
I've been preparing for this moment for a long time.
00:05:53.140
Won't be remembered as a great speller, but he thinks he'll be remember.
00:06:01.860
So there really isn't any point in living anymore.
00:06:04.100
I think for a lot of these people who go down the weird sex rabbit holes, and just the weird
00:06:09.820
rabbit holes more broadly, I think a big part of it is they just have no place in the community.
00:06:20.860
And because the culture has fractured in this way, because the libs have fractured the social
00:06:30.340
order, they've kind of led the charge of fracturing the social order.
00:06:33.120
But the conservatives have gone along with it by adopting a radical individualism that
00:06:37.640
says we don't necessarily need to care about other people or the common good.
00:06:40.860
Because of that, you end up in a situation where these weirdos go really, really off the
00:06:47.640
A social media bio for this person says that he's, quote, a Nazi dominatrix from hell who
00:06:54.000
is tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the black orcs
00:07:02.340
And that part matters because you've got a radical, trans, would-be mass shooter here.
00:07:08.360
And the FBI is calling this person a right-wing extremist.
00:07:13.700
The FBI said that this is a case of far-right terror, white supremacy, and alt-right extremism.
00:07:23.880
If you're a dude and you think you're a chick, you are most certainly not on the right.
00:07:33.680
I know that these days, someone who would have been considered a radical leftist 10 or
00:07:42.100
We're calling people who engage in all sorts of deviant behaviors and situations.
00:07:50.740
I've had, I promote abortions and I'm in a polycule and I support open borders.
00:07:55.640
I'm a right-winger, you know, because I support low taxes or something.
00:08:02.800
I know I'm not the dictator of conservatism yet, but it seems to me if you're a fella who
00:08:10.280
identifies as a chick, you are not a right-winger.
00:08:14.300
But what the FBI did is they pointed to all this stuff where he says he hates the blacks
00:08:18.880
and the Jews and therefore he's got to be a right-winger, right?
00:08:21.640
Never mind, by the way, that the vast majority of anti-Jewish rhetoric in America today comes
00:08:29.000
I'm not saying there's none of it on the right, but most of it clearly comes from the left.
00:08:35.340
Where does the hatred of the Jews and of the blacks come from?
00:08:38.880
According to court documents, it comes from the fact that this man has been misgendered
00:08:45.360
by a group of black guys and the black guys physically assaulted him.
00:08:51.460
And he doesn't like immigrants because an immigrant was on Oregon's public health plan and got free
00:09:00.520
transgender surgery that this guy was not able to get himself.
00:09:05.080
I don't know exactly where the Jew thing comes in, but in any case, it seems to be
00:09:08.860
very, very specific incidents related to his transgenderism, which is on the left.
00:09:15.060
So look, the guy's obviously completely insane.
00:09:17.180
I'm not trying to suggest that he's, you know, a left-wing political philosopher, many of whom
00:09:22.660
But it seems like a little bit of a stretch, right, for the FBI to call this person a right-winger,
00:09:31.080
This isn't the first time that the FBI has done this.
00:09:34.380
Late last year, there was a gang of pedophile Satanists that had been doing all sorts of
00:09:41.480
And they arrest one of the guys, and they say he's a white supremacist.
00:09:48.960
But it, and we'll get to why that is in just one second.
00:09:52.100

00:11:27.640
A transvestite would-be mass shooter, according to the FBI far-right-wing extremist,
00:11:34.480
a satanic pedophile gang led by a Hispanic who called the judge in the case a cracker.
00:11:45.540
And the white supremacists, obviously, they lumped in on the right.
00:12:13.060
In this case, white people are the baddies, too.
00:12:17.340
Just like the man who killed Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman.
00:12:22.820
They find out the guy looks as Hispanic as they come.
00:12:25.180
It looks like he just got off a boat somewhere from Latin America.
00:12:34.000
People who try to make sense of this, they start from the facts.
00:12:37.100
And then they try to get to the conclusion that the left has come to.
00:12:45.540
They will rewrite a person's stated political views.
00:12:48.560
They'll rewrite a person's sex and sexual identity.
00:12:57.220
Now, speaking of right-wingers, we're into the Veepstakes, baby.
00:13:00.940
There are still two, maybe more, two even somewhat registering additional Republican candidates in the primary beyond Donald Trump.
00:13:16.340
I think there's another guy named Binkley in it.
00:13:18.300
But, you know, they're not really showing up anywhere.
00:13:24.280
For all intents and purposes, the primary is over.
00:13:26.380
So now we're moving on to who is Trump going to pick for his running mate?
00:13:32.440
Could you see your father running with Ron DeSantis?
00:13:42.120
Like, you know, I would do whatever I could to make sure it wasn't Nikki Haley.
00:13:49.340
You're never going to rule out someone that is, you know, a leading contender.
00:13:59.400
I'd love to see, you know, people who are just principally, you know, in alignment as well as, like, aggressive.
00:14:10.480
You can have the House, the Senate, and they'll still roll over.
00:14:17.960
You know, listen, that clearly would be on the table, right?
00:14:21.580
I think they agree on virtually all of these things.
00:14:23.880
They certainly agree on stopping the never-ending wars.
00:14:27.480
And so, you know, I would love to see that happen.
00:14:30.320
And, you know, that would certainly be a contender.
00:14:40.100
The reason I don't think it's going to happen is I see no evidence that Trump would pick a huge personality who in any way could even somewhat compete with Trump's huge dominant personality.
00:14:53.000
I don't see any evidence of that at any point in his 40-plus year public life.
00:14:59.840
The last pick he made was to balance him out, a quieter guy from the Midwest who's on board.
00:15:07.000
He's going to be supportive, but he's not going to really challenge Trump or overshadow him.
00:15:12.120
He's not going to have had public disagreements with Trump very often, as Tucker has.
00:15:16.320
So, you know, love Tucker, very conservative guy.
00:15:31.640
The reason that some are reporting that she's being considered for VP is she's been relatively loyal to Trump, which is good.
00:15:40.380
You really want someone who's going to be loyal.
00:15:45.340
But I still don't really see what she brings to the table.
00:15:49.760
She's a liberal Republican who's totally identified with Team Trump.
00:15:55.640
So even if Trump were trying to do a Reagan-Bush kind of thing here, you know, you get the conservative guy at the top of the ticket and the more establishment liberal guy at the bottom of the ticket.
00:16:06.040
Here, Elise Stefanik doesn't really unite the party because she's lumped in as a Trumper.
00:16:10.340
It's just kind of like the worst of all worlds from an electoral perspective.
00:16:13.420
The more liberal policies, but also the baggage that goes along with supporting Trump if you hang out with the country club establishment set.
00:16:25.320
I mean, it's not like Trump's going to carry New York.
00:16:33.620
That can't happen because constitutionally, you can't have a guy at the top and bottom of the ticket from the same state.
00:16:41.940
Anyway, it would not work with the electoral college system.
00:16:46.260
So, you know, just as a tech, I don't think Trump would pick DeSantis anyway for the same reason I mentioned above with Tucker.
00:16:52.700
I don't think he's going to pick a really tough personality who's got a career of his own who might butt heads with him.
00:17:01.180
But certainly not someone who's campaigned against him.
00:17:13.620
You know, if Nikki is hoping for a Reagan-Bush kind of thing, that's the path forward for her.
00:17:20.420
But if the Trump family is against her and they think this has gotten too personal and they can't trust her, then she's out.
00:17:27.460
So that leaves a really interesting choice there.
00:17:33.560
He got elected with a major endorsement from Donald Trump.
00:17:37.840
He represents more the new right, the more populist, more traditionally conservative side of the party, as opposed to the alternately libertarian side or the neoconservative side or the globalist side.
00:17:55.920
And they would always say, as goes Ohio, so goes the nation.
00:17:58.740
Ohio accurately has predicted a lot of presidential elections.
00:18:03.400
That predictive power failed in 2020, but the Democrats rigged it in 2020 and changed all the rules.
00:18:08.600
Hopefully the rules will have been corrected a little bit by the time we get to November 2024.
00:18:13.980
Of the choices that were just floated there, J.D. is probably the best one.
00:18:23.180
As far as how things stand right now, though, the question is not, barring a lightning bolt from the Democrats or from the heavens, will Trump be the nominee?
00:18:37.780
The question is, how long will this drag on for?
00:18:43.020
And what we've been hearing is that Haley is surging in New Hampshire.
00:18:48.240
But she's still pretty far behind Trump, 10 to 15 points behind Trump.
00:18:54.520
The last number I was looking at was Haley, about 10 points behind Trump.
00:18:59.380
Now a new poll out from St. Anselm shows Trump at 52.
00:19:13.340
Now, among Republicans who are voting, not just independents.
00:19:19.540
New Hampshire Republicans, they're a little bit weird.
00:19:25.380
Among Republicans, Trump is up over Haley by 40 points.
00:19:30.380
And then among independents, Haley has a lead over Trump.
00:19:53.100
So far this season, I'm as skeptical of the polls sometimes, especially in general elections,
00:20:05.580
So DeSantis, certainly going to get completely destroyed in New Hampshire.
00:20:09.700
He's not even campaigning in New Hampshire, though.
00:20:11.840
DeSantis has sent his campaign staff to South Carolina.
00:20:16.760
What DeSantis is hoping for here is that Haley gets blown out of the water so that it doesn't
00:20:21.500
just look like a two-man race between Trump and Haley.
00:20:24.380
If Haley somehow pulled out a miracle in New Hampshire and won, she still wouldn't have
00:20:30.220
a shot at the nomination, but she could drag this thing out a little bit longer.
00:20:33.380
And she has an incentive to drag this out a little bit longer because she's a young woman.
00:20:41.000
She won't have a ton of electoral votes by the end of this process.
00:20:53.960
I don't think that what she's trying to do here is force a Reagan-Bush situation.
00:20:57.700
I think she's trying to be the number two from 2024.
00:21:03.440
So that when 2028 rolls around, Nikki Haley can say, I almost got it last time.
00:21:08.940
And whether Trump wins or Trump loses, she can say, I'm next up.
00:21:22.580
And I think that's what Nikki Haley is playing for here.
00:21:24.640
If she can just stay in the race long enough to clearly be the number two, then she's got a better play for 2028.
00:21:32.160
DeSantis has both more and less of a reason to drop out, speaking of contradictions at the top of the show.
00:21:40.020
Meaning Trump isn't going to pick him for anything.
00:21:44.980
DeSantis is going to be term-limited in Florida.
00:21:50.160
So he's going to be out of office by the very beginning of 2027.
00:21:54.200
It's going to be tough for him to run in 2028, especially with this showing.
00:21:58.020
So if you're Ron DeSantis, you've raised $200 million.
00:22:02.280
You know, why not just stay in and just wait to see if a lightning bolt hits Trump?
00:22:07.020
It doesn't look all that great, but what else is he going to do?
00:22:13.800
There's a lot of punishment that this guy's received on the campaign.
00:22:16.500
There's not a lot of carrot right now to get out, other than he doesn't want a humiliating loss in Florida.
00:22:24.720
In any case, any way you slice it, Trump's the nominee.
00:22:30.820
Barring a major natural disaster or, you know, Hillary showing up in the Groucho glasses in the FedEx truck with a silencer on her pistol.
00:22:44.540
Lady Ballers is the hilarious story of how a group of male losers who can't win against other men decide to identify as women and join a women's basketball league.
00:22:56.440
It's laughable, which is just another word for ridiculous.
00:23:05.280
Here's a quick look at what is being called the most triggering movie of the decade by us.
00:23:15.420
This movie is a straight up and intentional transphobic hate crime.
00:23:37.380
Watch the most triggering comedy of the decade.
00:23:51.340
I said that it's called the most triggering movie of the decade by us.
00:23:55.500
But look at all the great reviews we got on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:23:58.460
Jumped up to the biggest streaming movie in the country.
00:24:00.920
And all of this when Hollywood does not want you to see it.
00:24:07.600
Watch it exclusively on Daily Wire Plus right now.
00:24:10.260
Speaking of major election issues, mass migration continues to be a major issue.
00:24:18.800
This has been a major issue now for almost a decade in its recent form.
00:24:24.780
And it's cropped up over the years, but especially in recent years.
00:24:27.820
In America, obviously, it was a big part of the Trump win in 16.
00:24:31.300
In the UK, in Italy, in Hungary, in Poland, in all over Europe, all over the West.
00:24:43.380
I think Joe Manchin and John Fetterman are the two Democrats in the entire country
00:24:46.980
who realize that just opening up the borders and flooding the country with foreigners
00:24:51.700
is not maybe necessarily the most prudent idea.
00:24:54.280
The rest, the rest of the Dems are insisting that open borders and mass migration is not
00:25:00.200
only a good thing, but it is profoundly, essentially American.
00:25:10.260
To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, let's be honest with immigrants who
00:25:16.980
Don't welcome immigrants if you plan to reject them.
00:25:20.060
If you keep pushing your bigoted HR2 bill, then also pass this bill.
00:25:27.280
It removes the Statue of Liberty, our largest symbol that tells people to come here.
00:25:33.840
This is who you are, removing the fabric of America.
00:25:37.660
So I want to know which Republican who supports and voted for HR2 will introduce this bill.
00:25:43.400
The Statue of Liberty doesn't actually tell foreigners to come here.
00:25:48.480
It certainly doesn't tell them to come here in violation of our laws.
00:25:52.480
It certainly doesn't tell them to come here illegally and in infinite numbers.
00:25:59.900
The Statue of Liberty is a beacon of light to the rest of the world.
00:26:03.980
It is to illuminate and provide a model for the rest of the world.
00:26:11.760
The Statue of Liberty is not a statue of Attila the Hun tearing down our borders.
00:26:17.720
It's not a statue of Genghis Khan conquering our country.
00:26:22.420
I'm not even all that hot on the Statue of Liberty.
00:26:24.640
I mean, don't forget, it was given to us by the French.
00:26:27.620
And not even the good old aristocratic, Catholic, monarchistic French.
00:26:33.780
It was the post-revolution French who were totally nuts.
00:26:38.540
Who sacked churches and replaced the traditional religion with temples of reason.
00:26:44.600
And chopped up all the neighborhoods and made them all really dumb.
00:26:59.620
The reason this guy thinks that the Statue of Liberty tells foreigners to flood into our country in violation of our laws.
00:27:06.620
It's because there's a poem on the Statue of Liberty.
00:27:16.420
It was a poem added on, put there at Ellis Island in 1889 or something.
00:27:29.300
She was actually specifically a Georgist, which is a forgotten political economic program.
00:27:37.500
Yeah, I'm sure that some weirdo socialists in the 19th century wanted to make a French statue even more radical.
00:27:51.680
About 30 to 40 years after we got the Statue of Liberty and even we put the poem there, we severely curtailed migration for half a century.
00:28:00.480
We instituted the Immigration Act of 1924 and we severely curtailed the number of immigrants who could come into the country.
00:28:07.760
We tied it to national and ethnic quotas and we totally excluded Asians.
00:28:13.960
I'm not suggesting that any Republican is calling for a return to that, but don't tell me that it totally undermines American history.
00:28:22.720
We have had, from the very beginning of our country, very, very severe restrictions on immigration for much, if not most, of our history.
00:28:33.380
It's not, the country is not what these people say it is.
00:28:40.500
Now, speaking of restoring order, Florida legislators are doing great stuff.
00:28:45.100
They are seeking to ban the pride flag in government buildings and schools.
00:28:54.740
And pretty soon, I guess we'll have a polyamorous flag.
00:28:57.060
They'll just add a new, some new little stripe to the rainbow flag.
00:29:04.120
I don't even think I want to imagine what it will be.
00:29:10.220
a government entity may not erect or display a flag that represents a political viewpoint,
00:29:16.000
including, but not limited to, a politically partisan, racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint.
00:29:24.060
That's great, because what that does is, it says, you can't do the rainbow stuff.
00:29:40.560
No one believes that today, you could erect a Nazi flag on an American government building.
00:29:52.500
You might say, well, if we don't let you put the Nazi flag up, you're curtailing free speech.
00:30:00.400
No, it's not, it has no place in a government building.
00:30:03.080
You can't put every single flag on a government building, and flags are symbols,
00:30:07.080
and what they symbolize is supposed to tell you something about the entity that is raising those flags.
00:30:13.700
And in this case, it's the government, so it tells you something about your country.
00:30:17.440
And our country is not a Nazi country, and it's not a communist country like the BLM people would have it be.
00:30:31.900
To that congressman's point, when he says, you know, the Statue of Liberty welcomes us all here.
00:30:36.780
From the very beginning of America, we were supposed to be a model for the rest of the world to emulate.
00:30:43.680
Not to empty out the rest of the world and fill up our country.
00:30:51.640
It's one of the most famous speeches in American history.
00:30:53.580
It says we're going to be a shining city on a hill.
00:31:09.780
I want to model truth, justice, and the American way, at the very least.
00:31:18.940
So now we turn from fake matters of free speech to legitimate matters of free speech.
00:31:28.380
Jordan Peterson has been sentenced to a re-education camp.
00:31:38.940
And so Jordan will lose his professional license if he does not go to a re-education camp.
00:31:43.580
And all I can think is that poor re-education camp.
00:31:49.980
Can you imagine those poor instructors, the poor bureaucrats?
00:31:57.340
That guy is not going to go quietly into that night.
00:32:04.320
My favorite comment yesterday is from KW91, who says,
00:32:08.540
Completely missed the opportunity to call the Davos people weftists.
00:32:19.340
We finally arrived at my favorite time of the week when I get to hear from you in the mailbag.
00:32:25.860
Save an additional 50, 5-0% off your first month.
00:32:35.500
Now, I think I speak for all conservative Americans when I say that I've never fully understood the leftist racial hierarchy.
00:32:41.320
Nevertheless, I'm going to ask you for some insight on this matter.
00:32:44.380
As we are all aware, the left has a strict policy against the portrayal of so-called people of color, whatever that term means, by people of Caucasian descent.
00:32:52.060
Yet, a couple months ago, an SNL sketch of one of the early GOP debates flagrantly violated that rule, and even now, as the primaries seem to be drawing to a swift close with the consolidation of the field around Donald Trump, SNL has suffered no social consequences from this.
00:33:07.380
I'm referring, of course, to the portrayals of Nimratha Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are both Indian.
00:33:13.220
In the aforementioned SNL sketch, Governor Haley was cast as a white female, whereas Mr. Ramaswamy was portrayed by a black male.
00:33:20.400
Now, personally, this doesn't offend me, and I think SNL is free to cast any real-life character using an actor of any race, as long as that actor vaguely resembles their real-life counterpart, at least in terms of height, build, or other relevant characteristics.
00:33:33.400
I'm glad they at least chose actors of the appropriate sex.
00:33:36.980
But could you dissect this for me and explain why it is that Governor Haley is mapped onto a white person, whereas Mr. Ramaswamy is mapped onto a black person?
00:33:45.180
Is it really as simple as the fact that Governor Haley is of slightly lighter skin pigmentation than Mr. Ramaswamy, or is there a deeper social commentary that you can offer here?
00:33:55.740
Thank you, as always, for bringing a modicum of sanity to these insane times.
00:34:00.120
Excellent question, Arun. As always, three answers come to mind.
00:34:05.080
One, they get away with more when it comes to Republicans.
00:34:08.920
They can mock Republicans in a way that they're not allowed to mock Democrats.
00:34:18.120
You know, Nikki looks white, and Vivek looks much browner.
00:34:21.100
So the colors match, and the libs have drawn a distinction recently between race and ethnicity.
00:34:31.000
You know, the meaning of the word race has changed over time, and ethnicity is added in there,
00:34:35.820
and culture and race have become more separated in modern anthropology.
00:34:44.480
And when the libs say race, they're referring to color.
00:34:47.300
And when they say ethnicity, they're referring to, I don't know, descent of a different sort.
00:34:56.520
You don't want to look over it, which is Indians don't really count for them.
00:35:02.980
They'll sometimes defend Indians and get offended on behalf of Indians.
00:35:09.320
You saw this a little bit with the Babylon Bee headline.
00:35:14.760
It said, Donald Trump offers Vivek Ramaswamy a position running the White House 7-Eleven.
00:35:23.840
But a bunch of white people got offended on Vivek's behalf.
00:35:28.960
But broadly, the libs don't really like Indians because the Indians upset a lot of their plans and schemes.
00:35:41.620
They tend to be very smart and high-achieving academically.
00:35:50.760
Obviously, the Indians elected a right-wing leader who's been governing for the better part of a decade now over there.
00:36:00.180
The South Asians become a problem for the libs.
00:36:02.720
And so, they're further down the hierarchy, even though they are, in fact, foreign and brown.
00:36:10.280
It is Slap My Bass coming at you with another question.
00:36:12.980
So, I have been tasked to come up with a funeral mass as I need to prepare one for a relative who will be passing on very soon.
00:36:20.460
And I wanted to ask you, what are some of your favorite funeral hymns other than Amazing Grace, which is basically the staple?
00:36:29.300
I've already got a couple in mind, but I wanted to see what you would think of as a good preference.
00:36:39.780
I tend to prefer even more traditional than, say, Amazing Grace or something like that.
00:36:48.400
So, my first go-to would be Ave Maria, Schubert's Ave Maria, maybe Bach's Ave Maria, maybe Brahms's Ave Maria, even.
00:36:58.620
Another Ave that would be good would be Ave Verum Corpus would be nice.
00:37:04.620
But it sounds like you want something a little bit more modern.
00:37:07.620
It's considered old by a lot of modern people, but I consider it a little bit more modern, like Amazing Grace.
00:37:13.980
If you want something a little bit more modern or even a little bit more Protestant, How Great Thou Art, I really like.
00:37:24.060
But I like the old, sturdy, traditional hymns, you know.
00:37:36.420
I find that good for a funeral because a lot of modern funerals just look back with sadness on the loss of a person, a loved person.
00:37:48.840
And then they either openly despair or they just fall into soft soap about how well we know that person is in heaven now, even though we don't know that for certain.
00:38:01.200
We pray that that person is in heaven, but we don't know.
00:38:04.440
So, it comes off as soft soap and wishful thinking rather than a persuasive truth.
00:38:10.220
I prefer, and I hope, everyone take note, by the way.
00:38:14.680
You know, I hope I live a good long life, but when my Requiem Mass is to be said, I want good, solid hymns and I want them preaching the gospel.
00:38:27.140
I want good, sturdy gospel and good, sturdy hymns about Jesus.
00:38:33.820
And the reason I want that is because that gives you real hope.
00:38:38.680
If all of that's true, if the religion is true, if Jesus is who he says he is, if God is real, then we can actually have hope that there is something beyond death.
00:38:49.040
But if it's not, then we're all just going to be despairing no matter how much we fool ourselves.
00:38:59.320
Thank you for continuing the conservative fight.
00:39:01.480
I'm wondering if you share Congresswoman Tlaib's concern that Trump incited an erection on January 6th.
00:39:13.200
I think you're confusing Congress Lady Tlaib with Congress Lady Pramila Jayapal.
00:39:22.540
But I am concerned that Trump excited an erection on January 6th.
00:39:29.840
I know he did in the newsrooms all over America.
00:39:33.360
I know he did among all the Democrat Congress people.
00:39:37.180
Plus, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, but I repeat myself.
00:39:44.420
I find it very unsettling and unpleasant to think about.
00:39:51.600
Hello again, Mr. Knowles' Slap My Base coming at you with another question.
00:39:55.800
So, as you obviously know, the year in review for 2023 in Cigar Aficionado has just been released.
00:40:04.200
The Arturo Fuente Opus X ended up winning Top Cigar of the Year.
00:40:08.120
So, my question to you would be, have you been approached yet by Cigar Aficionado to review Mayflower cigars?
00:40:15.560
And if you did, do you think this would change the perspective of sales if the review was either good or bad?
00:40:22.660
Now, I reference this magazine for all of the cigars that I would like to try.
00:40:27.460
And obviously, with you being my favorite podcaster, Mayflower kind of spoke for itself.
00:40:34.240
So, I would like to know, would it be a problem if Cigar Aficionado gave you the review?
00:40:40.260
Or would this be something that you would be openly looking forward to in order to see what the professionals, quote unquote, think?
00:40:50.240
I would like to be reviewed in Cigar Aficionado.
00:40:57.720
So, I would like to be reviewed in it because I love the magazine.
00:41:02.840
I don't actually need Cigar Aficionado to review it because I'm already selling a lot of cigars.
00:41:11.880
It's just that a lot of new cigar brands need the magazine to get on anyone's radar.
00:41:18.020
And because we're coming from Daily Wire, we sell out instantly.
00:41:21.400
I mean, we've sold all the cigars that we possibly could.
00:41:25.120
I think the number is 57,000 in the equivalent of like three days or something.
00:41:32.760
I actually just had a meeting earlier today about the cigars.
00:41:42.360
But for me, it would be nice to get Aficionado's ratings because I respect those guys.
00:41:50.880
The great success of Mayflower Cigars has been the fulfillment of a 15-year-long dream.
00:41:56.080
And so, that'd be kind of fun too because I've been reading the magazine for that long.
00:41:58.780
But no, the people I need to make my cigar company successful are you all.
00:42:02.840
And you have already done that and made the launch of Mayflower Cigars arguably the most
00:42:17.020
So, forgive me if I'm asking a question you've already proposed.
00:42:20.860
What do you think is keeping the body positivity movement and the gender-affirming care for youths
00:42:38.640
This ties into something we were talking about earlier in the show.
00:42:41.000
You're thinking of the logic, supposed logic, in those respective ideologies and movements.
00:42:48.400
First, you've got to think of the end goal first.
00:42:52.060
The left-wing thinking is very consequentialist.
00:42:54.820
They think about the end result they want to achieve, and they think that any means justifies
00:42:58.800
that, even if the various means that they use contradict one another.
00:43:03.280
What the libs are doing with both the gender-affirming, the transgender movement, and the body positivity
00:43:08.200
movement is attacking normality, normal standards of beauty and health and truth.
00:43:17.720
Promoting really unhealthy lifestyles and appearances that are grotesque, that will get them there.
00:43:23.300
And chopping off kids' genitals and castrating them and pretending dudes can be chicks will
00:43:29.440
I totally see your point, that the gender-affirming care is actually contrary to accepting your
00:43:37.020
body as it is and loving yourself and all the rest of it.
00:43:40.020
But to be as charitable as I can to the libs, what a lot of it comes down to, the most coherent
00:43:45.900
argument for what they're doing, is just a radical kind of subjectivism, where they say,
00:43:51.940
well, I look like a man, but I want to be a woman.
00:43:55.820
Because I say so, and you can't tell me otherwise.
00:43:58.520
Well, you know, I'm 400 pounds, and I haven't taken a walk in 10 years, and I'm doing all sorts
00:44:04.760
of unhealthy things that will harm me, but I like it, and I get to pick whatever I want,
00:44:10.120
because my will is all that matters, totally divorced from reason.
00:44:13.360
And so that's the nearest thing they have to a coherent argument for it.
00:44:16.860
But really what it's about is they just hate normality, probably because they have daddy
00:44:27.620
Mine is that I shamelessly enjoy coconut and oat milk.
00:44:36.100
Some of the lib things are somewhat healthy for you.
00:44:42.760
Most lib thing I do, I don't know, I do a lot of lib things, right?
00:44:46.040
I mean, things that are today associated with the left.
00:44:59.620
Going to Starbucks is probably the most lib thing I do.
00:45:04.120
They've effectively installed public restrooms in every city in the world and a lot of small
00:45:16.560
Because on the cultural stuff that I do that today is branded lib, but in the past it would
00:45:25.840
You know, like being interested in poetry or something is kind of considered lib today,
00:45:30.420
but it would have been quite conservative, actually, even manly, you know, back in the
00:45:34.780
But the Starbucks thing would always be kind of lib.
