A group called He Gets Us has an ad that depicts a woman washing the feet of a man washing another man's feet, and then it says, "Jesus didn't teach hate, he washed feet. He gets us, all of us."
00:05:36.780And those people look at this ad and they say, this ad is vaguely sort of not directly, not explicitly, but kind of promoting that vision of Jesus and that's bad.
00:05:46.640Okay, I didn't totally hate this ad because it's in woke ease, because it's written in this woke language, because the symbols and the signs and the whole language of the ad is for secular liberals.
00:06:51.180They're just sort of in the background there and says, Jesus didn't teach hate.
00:06:56.340So the conclusion that a lot of Christians are drawing is, well, the ad is insinuating that if you protest abortion, you're hateful.
00:07:04.580The ad is insinuating that if you object to LGBT LMNOP style stuff, that you're hateful.
00:07:10.480I'm not certain that that's what the ad is saying.
00:07:13.120I think the ad is reaching out to secular liberals who have an aversion to Christianity and to Jesus and to faith and is trying to speak their language.

00:08:37.700Your orange-haired lesbian cousin who hates her dad is not going to read the Summa Theologiae set that you did not buy her.
00:08:46.940Even if you did buy her one, she's not going to read it.
00:08:48.920Okay, so if an ad can get some secular liberal, and that's who these ads are for, for even one second to even consider our Lord, to even maybe have some slight increase in affection for our Lord, I'm fine with it.
00:09:07.480You know, Joey Carrion, when I made this point on Twitter, Joey Carrion responded to me, and he said, you know, 1 Corinthians chapter 9 is a good evidence of this.
00:09:50.020From what I can gather about this ad that he gets this thing, it's funded by right-wing evangelicals.
00:10:00.840It's not totally clear, but it sort of seems like that, and probably those right-wing evangelicals have the same thought that St. Paul does.
00:10:08.300This is not the kind of evangelism that necessarily is my style, but the idea behind it, the idea that you've got to speak people's language.
00:10:15.360When they don't speak your language, you've got to speak their language.
00:10:17.780When you want to go evangelize the Chinese, you've got to speak Mandarin.
00:10:20.600You can't go and speak English, most of the, and maybe now you can, because the Chinese all learn English in school, because they have much better education systems than we do in most cases.
00:10:27.620But when you want to go speak to someone, you've got to speak their language.
00:10:31.300Okay, and even the abortion, the most controversial part of the ad, the abortion clinic, I think it serves a decent purpose.
00:10:39.320Would I've changed the image a little?
00:10:40.400Maybe I would have, but it serves a decent purpose.
00:10:42.640A lot of people allow their own personal sins to be an obstacle to acknowledging the truth before them.
00:10:49.880They'll know it's wrong to murder babies.
00:10:51.160But if they've had an abortion in the past, they'll say, well, if I admit this truth that I know, then I'm a murderer, and I can't bear that, and I can't live with that.
00:14:37.220They might try to kill him at some point.
00:14:39.520He wants to make sure there's no even semi-viable challenge to him.
00:14:43.280So this was the kill shot at Nikki Haley.
00:14:44.920And the subject of the kill shot is what's really interesting here.
00:14:50.080He went after Nikki Haley for trying to do something that 10 years ago, many self-styled conservatives were all for, namely reforming entitlements.
00:14:58.520And Trump, going back to 2016, 2015, even earlier, is opposed to cutting entitlements.
00:15:54.260And so until you fix the border, until you fix the family, until you fix national sovereignty, until you fix basic social issues, you're simply not going to fix the fiscal problems.
00:16:06.340And so he says, no, we're going to have a fiscal truce until we fix the social problems.
00:16:11.900It's a flipping of the politics of 10 years ago.
00:16:15.300And Trump's view is now more persuasive.
00:17:01.840I think going back to the 80s, Trump called for tariffs when the rest of the GOP was calling for free trade.
00:17:07.260I think Trump has been an immigration restrictionist for much, much longer than the GOP has.
00:17:13.220The GOP, which effectively called for open borders, either through legal mechanisms, vastly expanding legal immigration, or by just ignoring illegal immigration, for many, many years.
00:17:24.100Trump has a, at least vaguely coherent kind of conservatism.
00:17:29.500More coherent than a lot of professional politicians.
00:17:32.540And it's an older kind of conservatism.
00:17:37.040It's an older kind that typified the old right before the late 20th century.
00:17:42.400And that's appealing to a lot of people.
00:17:44.000That creates a new political coalition.
00:17:46.820Speaking of the presidential race, Democrats have had it with Joe Biden.
00:17:50.700That press conference, I think, was the nail in the coffin.
00:17:52.760They saw the special counsel report that Joe Biden is an amiable old man who's not fit to stand trial because he's so senile.
00:18:01.860And then they saw Vladimir Putin come out and give a very impressive interview with Tucker Carlson.
00:18:06.720And then they saw Biden try to one-up that interview with Tucker by going out and giving this rambling press conference where he couldn't remember what Mexico and Egypt are.
00:18:16.200Where he flipped those two countries and he couldn't remember seemingly his own name.
00:18:21.300So now you got Bill Maher, very prominent liberal, saying, got to get Biden out of there.
00:18:27.260He did not run on a promise not to run again.
00:18:53.180And people have said to me, oh, that's ridiculous.
00:18:55.880They'll look like they'll look like nothing.
00:18:57.440Nobody gives a what you do at the convention.
00:18:59.940They'd be thrilled if they did it the day before the election.
00:19:03.020So 86% of Americans don't think Joe Biden is up for the job.
00:19:07.860So while I generally believe it looks terrible for a party to swap out its nominee or its running mate, for that matter, it just shows weakness.
00:19:15.520At this point, Biden and the Democrats are not fooling anyone.
00:19:19.240The Democrats realize they are in a very bad situation.
00:19:22.480Even if they rig all the votes in all the different states, it's still going to be tough.
00:19:26.160I mean, the vast majority of Americans don't think this guy's up for the job.
00:19:29.680It's not just Bill Maher and some of the more liberal, libertarian comedians who are throwing potshots at Biden.
00:19:59.060And that open, unsealed, damaged box included, according to the special counsel, highly sensitive, top-secret material about the war in Afghanistan.
00:20:06.140That claim that he didn't have any material that was quote-unquote high classified is also not true, John.
00:20:11.640The special counsel's report says that the president possessed multiple highly classified documents that were indeed marked as being highly classified documents,
00:20:19.580including some marked as top-secret slash SCI, sensitive compartmented information.
00:20:25.400That is a very high level of classification.
00:20:27.820So he's entitled to say he didn't do it.
00:22:54.020One, Democrats really want Joe Biden off this ticket.
00:22:59.900Prominent Democrats, like CNN Democrats.
00:23:02.760And two, Joe Biden's the president and he doesn't want to go.
00:23:08.060And you're going to have to drag that guy out kicking and screaming or stiff as a board.
00:23:11.880Now, the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, was asked about Biden's memory lapses, you know, speaking in Spanish to the president of Egypt or whatever it was that he did.
00:23:23.440And the response from the White House is nothing.
00:23:28.640How can he be trusted with the nuclear codes if I get that you're saying that nobody in the building would say that he's got an issue with his memory?
00:23:38.940But just a little part of what we get to see.
00:23:42.920He's made mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake on camera this week.
00:24:35.000Hey, hey, White House press secretary.
00:24:38.040You know, the special counsel says that the guy can't remember anything and he's not fit to stand trial.
00:24:41.700And then Biden was just meandering and wandering about during that press conference and couldn't remember his own name and didn't know what Egypt and Mexico are.
00:25:01.780Everyone, every single person around the president is admitted, including CNN, including the special counsel, including everyone, including his own staff members undercover.
00:25:12.240Remember that video, the video that came out last week of James O'Keefe, right wing journalist, going on a fake gay date with some top White House official, the cybersecurity official, and the cybersecurity official is admitting, yeah, we'd like to swap Joe Biden out.
00:25:25.780It's probably not going to happen, but that guy is old, man.
00:25:42.600The only thing she can do is ignore it.
00:25:44.180But can the White House ignore reality forever?
00:25:46.660Can the White House ignore reality at the convention?
00:25:49.640The White House can't ignore reality at the ballot box unless they conduct the greatest vote rigging operation in history, unless they import Saddam Hussein's election officials, then reality might start to interfere with their fantasies.
00:26:04.880They're going to have to make some hard choices.
00:26:06.360Now, speaking of Black women, talking about Kareem Jean-Pierre, not Joe Biden.
00:26:11.940Speaking of Black women, Mo Neek just recently complained on some random podcast that she would be much more famous if she were a White woman.
00:26:23.320If I was a White woman, do you know what my name would be?
00:27:13.940I know a lot of conservatives are going to jump down her throat here and say, oh, you're playing the race car and you're being a victim and you're not really a victim.
00:28:03.160Now, it's not clear that she would be Melissa McCarthy because the competition pool is far greater when you're trying to appeal to the majority.
00:28:10.300So maybe if she were White, Melissa McCarthy would just have her career and no one would have ever heard of Monique.
00:28:16.080There are some advantages to appealing to a niche minority audience.
00:28:18.860But I think her concern is legitimate.
00:28:23.760She's saying there is this distinct culture within America that I appeal to, but the culture that I appeal to and the majority culture are not synonymous.
00:28:33.400And so that is just naturally restricting my growth potential.
00:29:59.700When Monique complains about it, I don't think anyone's yet connected Monique to the permanent and changing electoral landscape of the United States.
00:30:13.640If you want to have much more cultural influence and impact, you're going to want to have access to the majority of that culture.
00:30:23.940So you've got to change majorities and minorities.
00:30:26.900Now, speaking of discrimination, Facebook and Instagram have just announced that they will no longer recommend political content on their social media platforms.
00:30:42.840Is it just because he wants to be out of politics?
00:30:45.000I don't think Mark Zuckerberg wants to be out of politics.
00:30:47.100I think Mark Zuckerberg spent a lot of money last cycle controlling the ballot drop boxes in a lot of counties in this country.
00:30:56.220Some have said that that was the pivotal shift in the election that gave the election to Joe Biden.
00:31:03.180There are lots of really good reports on this about how the Zuckerberg-funded left-wing groups that controlled the ballot drop boxes, in some cases illegally because they placed them too far from the county clerk offices, that those were the determining factor of the election.
00:31:18.920Zuckerberg said he was willing to spend any amount of money to get the mean orange man out of office.
00:31:23.220So now he's all of a sudden, he's neutral?
00:31:28.940Facebook and Instagram deciding not to recommend political content, that's not neutral.
00:31:32.880That is a major advantage for liberals because conservatives tend to do much, much better on social media because the liberals control the establishment media.
00:31:41.840So conservatives need to have some outlet.
00:31:44.580There's still a hunger for conservative content.
00:31:46.920So when we create new companies like the Daily Wire, we do very, very well.
00:31:52.020Daily Wire has always done very, very well on Facebook.
00:31:54.060It's not because Facebook's helping us out.
00:31:55.880It's because there is a demand for our kind of content that you can't get on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Netflix, all the other platforms.
00:32:04.060So where there's a little bit more freedom to state one's opinion, we're going to do a lot better.
00:32:08.760That's why conservatives are doing so well on X right now.
00:32:12.460So when Zuckerberg says, okay, we're not going to recommend political content.
00:32:15.540Okay, your top political content, company by company, it's still majority liberal because there's just so much more money and firepower behind the liberals.
00:32:23.760But you look at Daily Wire versus New York Times in isolation, Daily Wire does a lot better with a much smaller budget and a much smaller staff.
00:32:32.300So when he says we're not going to recommend political content anymore, that disproportionately hurts conservatives.
00:32:37.020Also, the other reason that it's so brutal is the news right now is very bad for liberals.
00:32:42.860If the news cycle were really good for liberals and really good for Joe Biden, then not recommending political content might hurt him because people aren't going to hear all the great news that's coming out of the White House.
00:32:52.240But the news coming out of the White House is terrible.
00:33:19.460So when you say, okay, we're not going to recommend any political news anymore.
00:33:22.220Yeah, well, when the news is terrible for the White House, then that's a major gift to the White House.
00:33:27.040Which, of course, we should expect because these social media platforms, I guess with the exception of Elon Musk and X, are in the tank for Democrats.
00:33:36.580And you can rely on the fact that whatever they do is going to benefit Democrats.
00:33:42.220I wouldn't look at what they do and say, okay, well, is this good for us or bad for us?
00:33:45.800Just no, it's always going to be bad for conservatives.
00:33:48.780So go the opposite direction and say, okay, well, whatever they've done, if I want to learn something about the underlying political reality, just look at what they've done.
00:33:56.600Know that that is positive for Democrats and bad for Republicans.
00:33:59.520And then come to some conclusions about the political reality.
00:34:02.180Now, speaking of this presidential cycle, President Trump has just come out and responded to the special counsel's refusal to prosecute Joe Biden.
00:34:10.740And he said, hold on, Joe Biden has been discovered to have done a much more egregious version of the thing that I'm being prosecuted for.
00:34:19.300Joe Biden, when he was vice president, did not have the ultimate ability to declassify documents.
00:34:24.440Joe Biden had these documents scattered everywhere, including in front of a crackhead in his own home.
00:34:28.580Joe Biden had no idea really where a lot of these documents were by Joe Biden's own admission.
00:34:32.480So he did a much more egregious version of the crime that Trump is going to wear an orange jumpsuit for.
00:34:38.660And Trump says, this is selective prosecution.
00:34:43.040If Biden is not going to be charged, he said, that's up to them.
00:34:48.620You know, look, if he's not going to be charged, that's up to them.
00:36:45.420After almost a year away filming the Pendragon cycle, the God King Jeremy Boring is back and is joined by Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Andrew Klavan, and yours truly.
00:36:55.600Join us tomorrow at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central as we go behind the scenes and beyond the headlines.
00:37:01.140Watch the show live exclusively on Daily Wire Plus Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central.
00:37:24.240He climbs it to raise money for a homeless pregnant woman and bring attention to the pro-life cause.
00:37:28.940And they arrest him and say that he committed all these felonies.
00:37:33.000But if you climb a wall as an economic migrant with the help of the drug cartels, the most psycho killers on planet Earth, that's an act of love.
00:38:54.720There have been a number of court cases on this front.
00:38:58.220But there was recently one, the New York Rifle and Pistol Association case, which reminded our liberal states that Americans do, in fact, have a Second Amendment right.
00:39:08.480But the Hawaiian court just says, no, no.
00:39:12.820Whatever the Supreme Court ruled, it doesn't matter.
00:39:15.080Because, quote, in Hawaii, the aloha spirit inspires constitutional interpretation.
00:39:20.100When this court exercises power on behalf of the people and in fulfillment of our responsibilities, obligations, and service to the people, we may contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the aloha spirit.
00:39:32.180The spirit of aloha clashes with a federally mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities.
00:39:44.380There is a profound truth to this decision, to the spirit of aloha.
00:40:49.980And to the Hawaiian Supreme Court's credit, they're recognizing that the spirit of aloha, man, is a much more powerful force than the opinion of nine lawyers on the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
00:41:05.820I was talking with Drew Clavin about a related matter on Friday.
00:41:10.960We were talking about the famous John Adams quote.
00:41:13.060The constitution is built for a moral and religious people, and it's not fit for the government of any other kind of people.
00:41:18.780And conservatives love quoting this because it's proof that America is a religious country.
00:41:24.400We're a Christian country founded on a belief in God.
00:41:27.260And those atheists and those liberals and those secularists, they want to pretend that we weren't.
00:41:32.300There's John Adams saying that we are.
00:41:35.600That's not really what he's saying, right?
00:41:37.700I mean, what he's saying is that the constitution exists for a moral and religious people.
00:41:46.520It will work for a moral and religious people.
00:41:48.500But it's not going to make the people moral and religious.
00:41:51.980The people have to be moral and religious.
00:41:53.820That is a prerequisite to having a country that is governed according to our constitution.
00:41:59.620The constitution will not magically do that for you.
00:42:03.220So if the people ceases to be moral and religious, as increasingly I suspect we have, then the constitution is not going to work.
00:42:12.420Constitution and a buck 50 will get you a cup of coffee before Joe Biden, after Joe Biden inflation.
00:42:17.240Then you're going to need like 450 to get that same cup of coffee.
00:42:19.780This is why I'm open to annoying commercials like the He Gets Us thing, which presents, or at least implies, it doesn't explicitly give it to you, but it kind of implies hippie Jesus.
00:42:50.540Let the libs burn the constitution like they wanted to do for 50 years.
00:42:53.540Because it's not going to get you anywhere.
00:42:57.040Now, there is an example of countries turning this kind of thing around in precisely this way.
00:43:02.660With a religious revival that is undertaken not merely from the level of culture and individuals making choices and blah, blah, blah, but it's from the political level.
00:43:12.220It is the political power channeling the desires of the people.
00:43:19.280So it's not totally in opposition to the people, but also enforcing a particular religious view.
00:43:26.040And that would be probably the man I'm going to endorse for president of America in 2024.
00:43:31.520That would be the leader of El Salvador, the recently reelected leader, reelected with 85% of the vote, Naib Bukele, who in his acceptance speech, in his victory speech, he started out talking about real nuts and bolts, practical victories.
00:43:49.900We've gone from being the most dangerous country in the world to being the safest country in the Western Hemisphere, the safest country in the American continent.
00:46:27.960Oh, maybe the problem is that it sets an example, because maybe the people in your countries who you have tried to indoctrinate into atheism will once again believe in God.
00:46:42.260Maybe that is the problem to these libs, and maybe that's the solution.
00:46:44.900And maybe we can look to our neighbors to the south, a stunning example of success in this regard.
00:46:51.940Not just on one policy matter, not just on fixing the economy, all the way down to the fundamental issue of society, because all human conflict ultimately is religious.
00:47:03.160Not only how to fix the country, but how to be very popular doing it.
00:47:05.980Not popular among the journalists, not popular in the Beltway in Washington, D.C., but very, very popular among the people who still have at least a little bit more common sense than our self-appointed political elite.
00:47:47.660Don't miss the epic return of the God King, Jeremy Boring, with Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan.
