Ep. 1444 - Trump Trolls Jimmy Kimmel Live At The Oscars
Summary
A woman goes viral by explaining how she got a date with a man she saw at the grocery store by figuring out his name from his credit card and then looking him up on the internet, and then finding his mother, figuring out which book club she's a member of, and starting a conversation with the mother, and having the mother introduce her to her son. A huge new presidential ad focuses on something that Joe Biden totally whiffed at the State of the Union, and is a major political scandal that is probably the biggest political scandal for Biden.

Now that the presidential primaries are over and the candidates are set,
00:00:04.020
Democrats have identified the new strategy that is going to help them overcome Joe Biden's
00:00:09.660
sinking poll numbers against President Trump in all the states that matter.
00:00:13.800
Here is liberal journalist Kara Swisher explaining the strategy on CNN.
00:00:19.440
If he's going to be shameless, which is his greatest asset, the shamelessness of him,
00:00:23.180
is then Biden has to get in there very hard and go rapist, racist, fascist over and over and over again.
00:00:31.440
And then the trials are happening at the same time.
00:00:33.800
He's just had to pay. He's just ninety three million dollars for right now.
00:00:38.220
And just hammer it in with those three things. Rapist, racist, fascist.
00:00:46.460
If Democrats want to beat Trump, they should just do the same exact thing they've been doing for nine years now.
00:00:53.500
That should sway the voters who are moderate and independent, wouldn't you say?
00:01:00.640
After all, the Democrats won on that message in 2020.
00:01:05.560
After they locked the country down and changed all the election rules to favor them.
00:01:09.300
Though, perhaps we should remember, they lost on this exact message in 2016.
00:01:15.120
So maybe those different election results had more to do with the things that changed between the two elections.
00:01:23.020
Rather than this message, which hasn't changed at all since the moment Trump walked down that golden escalator.
00:01:34.400
Now, if the message doesn't seem to have worked, why would the Democrats run on it?
00:01:43.040
Nine years into Trump's presidential campaigns and three years into their own presidential administration,
00:01:50.860
the Democrats still have not managed to find a more effective message than that one.
00:01:57.840
That one might not have worked, but it's still all they got.
00:02:02.640
A woman has gone viral by explaining how she got a date with a man.
00:02:25.160
She saw at the grocery store by figuring out his name from his credit card and then looking
00:02:29.760
him up on the internet and then finding his mother, figuring out which book club she's
00:02:32.720
a member of, joining the book club, starting a conversation with the mother, and having
00:02:44.840
Get your Smells and Bells candle here at dailywire.com slash shop.
00:02:48.240
It is, we've sold, I think, a bazillion of these candles.
00:02:53.320
It's a Lenten-themed candle, Smells and Bells, you know, if you want your house to smell like
00:03:01.840
We also have, obviously, the pumpkin spice candle and the Chim de la Chim candle.
00:03:06.840
Obviously, you know, we have the Mayflower cigars right here, back in stock, and then we
00:03:20.100
We're now in the general election, even though technically, I guess, the primaries are still
00:03:24.700
All the candidates are out on the Republican side.
00:03:26.660
There never were any serious candidates other than Biden on the Democrat side, but they're
00:03:33.520
And the big new ad that just dropped from an independent expenditure group focuses on
00:03:39.420
something that Joe Biden totally whiffed at the State of the Union.
00:03:42.540
It's a major political scandal that is a representation of probably the biggest political scandal for
00:03:48.760
Biden, which is that he's invited an invasion across our southern border.
00:03:52.900
This is a general election ad about Lake and Riley.
00:03:57.820
Lake and Riley should have been able to go on a run in broad daylight without being murdered
00:04:05.600
But Joe Biden promised not to deport illegal immigrants.
00:04:11.600
That person should not be the focus of deportation.
00:04:14.140
Biden vowed not to detain illegal immigrants who crossed the border.
00:04:18.160
No one, no one would be put in jail while waiting for their hearing.
00:04:22.140
So when Jose Ibarra crossed into America illegally, he was not deported.
00:04:31.760
Should undocumented immigrants arrested by local police be turned over to immigration officials?
00:04:38.140
So when Jose Ibarra was arrested in New York City for endangering a child, he was freed a second time.
00:04:45.400
Ibarra went to Georgia, where he beat Lake and Riley to death.
00:04:53.240
Building America's Teachers responsible for the content of this advertising.
00:04:58.460
The first thing I thought of when I saw this ad was one of the most famous ads in American presidential history.
00:05:07.820
So when George Bush was running against Dukakis in 1988, this is after two terms of Reagan, then Vice President Bush is running against Mike Dukakis.
00:05:16.360
The most famous ad of that campaign, really probably in the top five most famous ads of any presidential campaign focused on a criminal that Dukakis led out of prison.
00:05:29.280
Bush and Dukakis on crime Bush supports the death penalty for first-degree murderers.
00:05:35.220
Dukakis not only opposes the death penalty, he allowed first-degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison.
00:05:41.560
One was Willie Horton, who murdered a boy in a robbery, stabbing him 19 times.
00:05:46.440
Despite a life sentence, Horton received 10 weekend passes from prison.
00:05:50.980
Horton fled, kidnapped a young couple, stabbing the man and repeatedly raping his girlfriend.
00:06:02.660
George Bush got a lot of flack, of course, because all the Democrats said, this is racist.
00:06:07.320
And it's racist because the murderer who Dukakis let out of prison so he could go on to murder more people and rape more people, he happens to be black.
00:06:14.300
So it's obviously racist for you to mention that.
00:06:16.740
But that was always a very shallow attack on Bush because Al Gore, running in the 1988 presidential primary, brought up Willie Horton, brought up the weekend prison passes in his debates against Dukakis.
00:06:30.320
So it was a live issue, and the Bush campaign really nailed the messaging on it to convey this public policy matter in vivid detail, in really gripping terms to the public.
00:06:48.860
It's unclear how much that ad affected the race.
00:06:53.840
It's one of the most memorable parts of the race, but it's very difficult to quantify how much one presidential TV ad can actually affect the outcome of a race.
00:07:05.800
My only take on this Lake and Riley ad and the many other Lake and Riley ads that will probably come after this, they are much more likely to affect this race than even the Willie Horton ad affected the Bush-Dukakis race.
00:07:20.320
Because back in 1988, the ads had to run on TV.
00:07:27.500
They would run for a relatively short period of time in the case of the Willie Horton ad.
00:07:30.880
But in 2024, there really is no such thing as a local media market anymore because we have the internet.
00:07:39.360
So these ads just, they go as far as people on the internet want them to go.
00:07:47.400
The reason that we can even see the Willie Horton ad today is because of the internet.
00:07:50.660
So this issue where, while crime was a big issue in the late 80s and early 90s, the immigration issue is a major, maybe the major issue in the United States and facing the West today.
00:08:03.880
And we're now in a moment of greatest crisis when it comes to the southern border.
00:08:09.020
We've never seen invasion numbers like this ever in our history.
00:08:13.360
If Biden thinks he is going to sidestep this issue by, you know, finally answering Marjorie Taylor Greene at the State of the Union and mispronouncing Lakin Riley's name and then trying to brush it off on TV when the liberal journalists get angry at him, not for mispronouncing the victim's name, but for referring to the illegal alien alleged murderer as an illegal alien.
00:08:35.840
And, oh, can you imagine the offense against the alleged murderers?
00:08:40.260
He's very mistaken if he thinks that he can just kind of push this aside.
00:08:44.380
This has been the issue since the first Trump election and the Brexit and the Orban elections in Hungary and Georgia Maloney and right-wing elections in Poland and throughout Europe, okay?
00:09:00.680
Biden ignores that at his peril, which is fine by â his peril in politics is fine by me.
00:09:05.840
Speaking of Trump and media attention, this is a story I meant to get to yesterday, but I don't want to let it go.
00:09:15.960
Didn't watch virtually any of the movies that were even up for the Oscars this year or so.
00:09:23.780
And during the Oscars, one person who did watch was President Trump.
00:09:27.560
And he attacked Jimmy Kimmel from Truth Social.
00:09:30.940
And this irked Jimmy Kimmel so much that he brought it up on stage live at the Oscars.
00:09:37.120
I was told we have like an extra minute and I'm really proud of something.
00:09:47.620
Has there ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?
00:09:54.120
His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not and never can be.
00:10:00.080
Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up but cheap ABC talent, George Slopanopoulos.
00:10:07.920
He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger and more glamorous.
00:10:15.180
Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social.
00:10:42.180
Jimmy's rejoinder is not nearly as funny as the original post, which Trump trolls Jimmy into reading on stage at the Oscars.
00:10:51.280
But it's still pretty funny and they have this funny banter and everyone's laughing in the audience.
00:10:59.820
This is a genuine advantage that Trump has over every other Republican president of my lifetime other than Ronald Reagan, who also had a lot of star power.
00:11:10.400
Donald Trump, through sheer tyranny of will and humor, is able to get the host of the Oscars, who hates him, to read his very funny and endearing and charming tweet on stage at the Oscars, prompting the audience to laugh at the tweet.
00:11:33.300
Don't forget, the audience started laughing before Jimmy Kimmel insulted Trump, before he got his bar back at Trump.
00:11:40.940
They were just laughing at the tweet because the tweet is very funny.
00:11:44.480
No other Republican in my lifetime really can do that.
00:11:51.420
And one of the chief advantages of humor is that it brings the temperature down.
00:11:56.240
So, the libs are going to tell you with a straight face this man, he's a rapist, racist, fascist, he's Hitler, he's this.
00:12:04.320
But they obviously don't believe it because they're all laughing at the funny thing that he said.
00:12:10.680
If anything, what they're really conveying is they think he's just like a little bombastic and silly.
00:12:21.060
They're not, at the Oscars in, you know, 1941, no one's laughing at the Hitler tweet, okay?
00:12:28.600
No one, if they really believed that he's, well, they call him a Nazi, they call him Hitler.
00:12:34.020
If they really believed this, they wouldn't be giggling at the tweets.
00:12:40.320
That is lowering the temperature to the point that now we're all just kind of telling jokes.
00:12:48.580
All of a sudden, we're all doing a Don Rickles routine.
00:12:52.360
And when you take that away, you've now robbed the Democrats of those three attacks that Kara Swisher's saying,
00:12:59.580
Biden needs to be yelling until he's blue in the face, racist, rapist, fascist.
00:13:04.260
I mean, Trump is so charming that he was able to, from probably 3,000 miles away,
00:13:14.220
was able to do a comedy routine at the Oscars in front of the people who were supposed to hate him most.
00:13:29.560
And even if you're a Republican who detests Trump,
00:13:32.360
that every Republican should do his darndest to learn that skill.
00:13:36.860
It's very difficult to learn that kind of a skill, but very, very helpful.
00:13:42.240
First, though, go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles.
00:13:45.620
Are you a few years, maybe you're a few decades out of school and wondering,
00:13:52.380
You might even be thinking, I don't have the time to learn something new.
00:13:55.720
If that's you, you're not alone, and it's not too late.
00:13:58.540
Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free online courses.
00:14:02.020

00:14:05.840
or the history of the ancient church with Hillsdale College's online courses.
00:14:11.220
If you are not sure where to start, check out C.S. Lewis on Christianity.

In this seven-lecture course, you will examine some of Lewis's classic works,
00:14:18.900
including Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man.
00:14:21.720
You will also see what Lewis had to say about scripture, prayer, suffering, joy, heaven, and hell.
00:14:26.580
The course is self-paced so that you can start whenever and wherever.
00:14:30.980
Enroll now in C.S. Lewis on Christianity to discover Lewis's core lessons on Christianity
00:14:38.700
Go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to enroll.
00:14:49.480
Speaking of stage appearances, I'm going to be at University of Wisconsin-Madison tomorrow.
00:14:58.720
I think some tickets might still, I don't know if tickets are still available.
00:15:02.000
Go to yaf.org or you just Google Michael Knowles, UW-Madison.
00:15:06.800
As of yesterday, there were some tickets available because there was a lot of confusion as to whether
00:15:11.780
or not I would even be allowed to go to the school.
00:15:17.940
I was voted by FIRE, you know, the Individual Rights and Education Organization.
00:15:26.940
They compiled a database of all of, and by the way, they didn't even include all of the
00:15:32.660
And I was the most disinvited, the most canceled speaker of 2023.
00:15:48.400
Students were selling, not selling the tickets, giving away the tickets because these, the
00:15:53.920
And then at the very last minute, UW-Madison's administration, probably under severe pressure
00:16:00.280
from the left, which has been threatening protests from the beginning, tried to slap on a $4,000
00:16:11.880
This is one of the tricks that the liberal schools use to get the conservatives disinvited.
00:16:16.560
And we know that UW-Madison is a very liberal campus.
00:16:18.760
We didn't expect it because my friends and colleagues, Ben Shapiro, Nat Walsh, a number
00:16:25.460
of other conservatives, but even Ben and Matt have spoken at UW-Madison, even relatively
00:16:31.640
No security fee, no problem, the administration, just little old me.
00:16:36.480
I consider myself very nice, very amiable, but little old me, they decided to slap this
00:16:44.060
So when the administration levies the security fee, it is to say, oh, whoopsie-daisy, sorry,
00:16:51.860
And we're only going to levy it on this speaker, who we particularly don't like, not the other
00:17:02.480
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty sued.
00:17:16.640
I am, as of now, speaking at UW-Madison tomorrow.
00:17:21.700
If you can make it, go reserve a ticket if they are still available.
00:17:25.460
I've been asked to speak about life, why murder is wrong.
00:17:29.800
You know, in years past, we wouldn't have had to discuss such things, but our culture
00:17:39.260
Speaking of bad behavior at schools, there is a, I don't know if it's a student or just
00:17:44.900
some kind of crazy protester, but sauntered into Cambridge over across the pond in the
00:17:51.480
motherland and destroyed a painting of Lord Arthur Balfour at Cambridge.
00:17:58.180
This person did so in the name of Palestine action.
00:18:02.760
And this person shows up, starts spray painting.
00:18:07.640
Spray painting all over this beautiful old oil portrait of Lord Balfour.
00:18:11.360
Then pulls out a knife or a box cutter and slices up the painting.
00:18:21.160
I don't really care what one's position is on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
00:18:27.540
It's a longstanding, very complicated conflict.
00:18:30.040
That sort of barbarian should not only not be allowed into Cambridge, that sort of barbarian
00:18:40.960
should not be allowed into the United Kingdom or into the civilized world.
00:18:49.900
Certainly that person should never be allowed near any work of art.
00:18:52.620
That person should not be permitted in civilized society.
00:18:55.380
Obviously, I don't know, we haven't seen any follow-up reports of what would happen to that
00:18:59.920
I hope the person would be locked up for many, many years, decades, one hopes.
00:19:05.620
But furthermore, you see this not only with the Israel-Palestine conflict, you see this
00:19:09.400
with the climate wackos who go in and they throw soup on priceless art.
00:19:12.840
And fortunately, the civilized people have realized the threat from the barbarians at the gates.
00:19:19.080
And so they put the priceless art behind glass.
00:19:27.460
Because there's no limit to supposedly righteous causes.
00:19:33.400
Again, I'm not suggesting that Palestine liberation or protecting us all from the evil sun monster
00:19:39.880
I'm not suggesting those are necessarily the most righteous causes in the world.
00:19:43.380
But even if they were, there's no limit to this.
00:19:45.960
One can convince oneself to do almost anything, any barbaric act of cultural destruction in the name of some cause.
00:19:58.420
And at the end of that, the common good is just destroyed.
00:20:01.600
The public life, the culture, the art, everything that we all kind of do together that beautifies our world,
00:20:11.400
And in part, I don't want to blame the victim here,
00:20:14.340
but Cambridge and Oxford and Harvard and Yale and all the universities bear a little of the blame here,
00:20:24.480
People used to be raised in a more right manner.
00:20:30.220
They learned that there's a difference between good and bad.
00:20:34.900
There are things that one does and one does not do.
00:20:41.820
As we make a mockery of the moral order, as we make a mockery of things like respect for our elders,
00:20:49.140
not just our immediate parents, but our forebears, respect for our country,
00:20:53.180
which is an extension of filial piety, a respect for hierarchy and order, humility.
00:21:00.080
All of these traditional virtues have been denied in modern life.
00:21:05.000
And so we become animals and barbarians like this pro-Palestine protest or whatever.
00:21:12.860
That is just an acid that will eventually just wash away all of culture if it hasn't done so already.
00:21:23.500
You can't just even blame the pro-Palestine people.
00:21:25.940
We tear down statues all the time in our own country as well.
00:21:29.140
We tear down art and history all the time in our own country as well.
00:21:32.880
Now it's finally visiting the educational institutions again,
00:21:38.920
There's so much more to say, but first, go to ramp.com slash Knowles.
00:21:43.000
When you're running a business, time is money, baby, and money is honey.
00:21:49.300
That's why I'm so excited to have Ramp as a new sponsor of this show.
00:21:52.400
If you are a finance professional looking for a better way to maximize productivity
00:21:56.220
and cut wasteful spending, then Ramp could be for you.
00:21:59.340
Ramp is the corporate card and spend management software
00:22:01.980
designed to help you save time and put money back in your pocket.
00:22:05.720
With Ramp, you can issue cards to every employee with limits and restrictions,
00:22:09.980
automate expense reporting, and stop wasting time at the end of every month.
00:22:14.180
Ramp's accounting software automatically collects receipts
00:22:16.960
and categorizes your expenses in real time so you don't have to.
00:22:20.660
You will never have to chase down a receipt again.
00:22:23.240
Your employees will no longer spend hours submitting expense reports.
00:22:26.960
The time that you will save each month on employee expenses will allow you to close
00:22:33.760
Ramp is easy to use whether you've got five employees or 5,000.
00:22:43.200
That is spelled R-A-M-P dot com slash K-N-W-L-E-S.
00:22:48.520
Cards issued by Sutton Bank and Celtic Bank members, FDIC.
00:22:52.500
Speaking of teaching young people, Yuval Harari, who has become something of a court philosopher
00:22:57.840
for the liberal establishment in the West, he's often associated with the World Economic
00:23:04.920
Forum because he's lauded by the WEF types, you know, Klaus Schwab, the globalists, the liberals.
00:23:15.900
He wrote a book called Homo Deus and Sapiens is probably his most famous one.
00:23:19.720
And as far as the modern popular liberal writers go, he's probably my favorite one because
00:23:26.140
he's the most honest about the liberal worldview.
00:23:34.580
I mean, the very phrase Homo Deus is right, man, God.
00:23:37.760
The idea that we're going to be the last generation of Homo sapiens.
00:23:41.280
We're going to conquer all the foibles and failings of humanity.
00:23:43.640
It's just all the fantasies that prideful, ambitious people have been pursuing since
00:23:52.280
This guy just articulates it in a really clear way at a time when in our modern culture, usually
00:23:57.960
the liberals want to gussy up their plans in more humanitarian and modest language.
00:24:08.180
So Harari goes on to one of these late night talk shows.
00:24:10.660
I think it was Colbert, and he explains that now we're at a real impasse.
00:24:14.940
We've got a real dilemma in education because we're just moving so quickly into the future
00:24:20.860
of progress that we don't even know what to teach kids anymore because all the stuff from
00:24:26.020
the past and even from the present, it's about to be irrelevant.
00:24:29.580
Is it real that we're actually going through some sort of accelerating change?
00:24:33.580
Every generation thinks like that, but this time it's real.
00:24:36.320
And, you know, it's the first time in human history that nobody has any idea how the world
00:24:47.680
Now, of course, politically, it was always impossible to predict the future.
00:24:51.760
If you live in the Middle Ages, you don't know.
00:24:54.120
Maybe next year, the Vikings invade, the Mongols invade, there is an epidemic.
00:24:59.440
That the basic stuff of human life, like the basic skills...
00:25:03.320
We're all going to be hurting sheep in 20 years, no matter who's in charge.
00:25:06.620
You need to teach your kids how to plant rice or wheat, how to ride a horse, how to shoot
00:25:12.800
a bow, because this will still be relevant in 20 years.
00:25:16.520
Today, nobody has any idea what to teach young people that will still be relevant in 20 years.
00:25:24.540
My favorite part of this very unfortunate clip...
00:25:32.960
He just strikes me as an example of someone who is so intelligent.
00:25:38.720
He's intelligent and so high on his own supply.
00:25:41.920
He's so enamored of his presumed wisdom that he makes himself look foolish.
00:25:50.240
And he even nods at it a little bit at the beginning of his statement.
00:25:54.340
He says, look, we have no idea what we can teach people that will even be relevant in 20 years.
00:26:01.220
And I know that every generation ever has said that.
00:26:07.840
Just so happens that this time, when we are blessed to have the Yuval Hararis of the world
00:26:12.580
to explain the future to us, this time it's real.
00:26:18.340
Every other time for millennia, it hasn't been real.
00:26:24.580
Well, I don't deny that technology will change.
00:26:27.880
Though, frankly, technology advances a little more slowly than a lot of us have predicted.
00:26:33.440
Weren't we supposed to have flying cars by now?
00:26:35.420
You know, wasn't that what they all predicted in the 1960s?
00:26:37.720
And yet, really, we had no significant technological innovation between the middle of the 20th century and the 1990s.
00:26:52.200
I guess computing and the internet was a major technological advancement.
00:26:55.760
But before that, it was pretty much the vacuum cleaner and the dishwasher, you know?
00:26:58.880
And then we kind of stagnated for a little while.
00:27:00.780
We went into space, but, you know, we went to the moon, but then we forgot how to go to the moon even.
00:27:06.860
Okay, so much for that technological advancement.
00:27:11.640
But even then, you know, now we're looking at AI.
00:27:14.000
We're told AI is going to take over the world in five years.
00:27:16.140
AI doesn't even know that the Pope isn't an Indian woman.
00:27:21.260
AI hasn't quite figured out how many fingers are on our hands.
00:27:23.720
So, I'm not denying that we're living in an age of technological advancements.
00:27:27.680
I think it's a little slower than these techno-futurists would like to believe.
00:27:32.660
But furthermore, no matter how much technology advances, it seems to me that there will always be eternal things.
00:27:41.840
There's a reason that Aristotle has endured for millennia.
00:27:46.580
And that Aristotle's account of human nature pretty much has never been improved upon.
00:27:51.580
The one improvement, you might say, would be St. Thomas Aquinas, who's writing, what, a thousand years ago almost?
00:28:02.140
And he, you know, kind of melds together the Platonic tradition, the Aristotelian tradition, and Christianity.
00:28:11.620
Brings them together, synthesizes them in Christianity.
00:28:14.880
But again, all those things I've just described are at least 2,000 years old.
00:28:26.560
Now, what these guys believe, what the liberals believe, is that human nature will change.
00:28:30.720
So much so that we won't even be homo sapiens anymore.
00:28:37.920
We're ordering babies now, like you go to a store.
00:28:44.680
You pick out the mother, even though the mother's going to have nothing to do with the baby's life.
00:28:47.140
You pick out the surrogate, which is just a poor woman somewhere.
00:28:51.560
And you pay to rent her womb and then rip the baby away from the only mother he's ever known.
00:28:55.140
And so we do all sorts of ghastly, seemingly futuristic things that seem to presume the power of God.
00:29:03.160
We've been doing that sort of thing for a very long time, and yet human nature has never changed.
00:29:08.060
Yet the fundamentals of reality have never changed.
00:29:10.180
No matter how much the liberals scream until they're blue in the face that a man can be a woman or that a baby is not a baby,
00:29:15.220
it remains the case that the man and the woman are separate.
00:29:19.140
It remains the case that the baby is a baby, no matter how much the progressives want to convince us otherwise.
00:29:25.520
What is more likely to be relevant in 20 years?
00:29:28.960
The idle musings of Yuval Harari were the teachings of Aristotle and Plato and St. Thomas Aquinas
00:29:34.940
and the great thinkers of the tradition who have touched on the enduring things.
00:29:44.580
No disrespect to Mr. Harari or Klaus Schwab or any of the liberals who have been believing a few too many of their own press releases.
00:29:54.460
Speaking of teaching young people, Gisele Bundchen has inadvertently just displayed one of the absolute worst things about divorce.
00:30:07.960
We talk a lot about how awful the sexual revolution is, how crazy it is that a man thinks he can be a woman,
00:30:12.960
how awful it is that they're trying to trans the kids in schools,
00:30:15.940
even how awful it is that we kill babies or sell them on the surrogacy market.
00:30:19.480
But the sexual revolution goes a little further back than that, goes a little bit deeper.
00:30:25.160
And at the heart of the sexual revolution and all the terrible consequences is the destruction of the family,
00:30:33.380
which began not when Anthony Kennedy wrote some romantic poetry from the Supreme Court
00:30:37.560
and pretended that two fellows can get married,
00:30:39.740
but it goes back further to the normalization and acceptance of divorce.
00:30:44.460
And now we live in an age where we tell each other all sorts of lies about divorce.
00:30:55.640
It's better for the kids, actually, for mommy and daddy to just split up and go date other people.
00:31:03.340
So I guess I'm actually saying it's not better for the kids,
00:31:10.360
It's really good because I want to do me and I want to go date the karate instructor,
00:31:15.660
So Giselle BÃŒndchen comes out and she articulates one of the real dangers of divorce,
00:31:23.680
which is, she says, the kids have different rules when they go to their father's house.
00:31:31.120
I think it's been, you know, what I think, you know, there's easier days than others,
00:31:36.940
but I think, you know, it's amazing that the kids, they're super smart children.
00:31:43.800
So I think it's natural that it has different rules and then kids just adapt.
00:31:53.080
And I think for me now is really about the balance.
00:31:56.640
Now we have, you know, Tom has time with them and I have time with them,
00:32:01.460
which I think is amazing because they get to, you know, really experience, you know, again,
00:32:07.960
more enriching for their lives, two different worlds.
00:32:11.240
And they get to learn from two different worlds.
00:32:17.440
They're living in two different worlds because you blew up their actual world.
00:32:22.860
When we use this phrase around the Daily Wire, I think Drew mentioned it first,
00:32:25.640
but we all use this phrase because it's so apt.
00:32:28.000
We say that divorce blows up a kid's whole world.
00:32:38.160
Now the kids live in these two different worlds.
00:32:40.400
And which means that they don't have two homes.
00:32:48.440
who are the core of their world, have split up.
00:32:50.740
And so one expression of their total lack of home is they don't even have a consistent set of rules,
00:32:58.640
naturally, because they don't have a consistent family,
00:33:02.940
because they don't have a consistent head of household,
00:33:07.140
So they develop a kind of a schizophrenia where when they're at mommy's house,
00:33:16.300
It's all just the same way of saying kids are resilient,
00:33:18.360
which is just a way for adults to justify or rationalize harming children.
00:33:26.400
And so they say they can get away with this here and then get away with that there.
00:33:29.120
But they have no consistent sense of what the rules are, where the rules come from.
00:33:36.920
I mean, this has such direct political consequences,
00:33:40.920
because we no longer even know what the law is.
00:33:42.760
What the libs will tell you is, law is just kind of whatever we decide, whatever we want.
00:33:51.000
And it's subjective, and it's relative, and it's just kind of whatever we want, man.
00:33:54.360
It's not based on anything rational or objective or real or solid.
00:33:58.980
That is a consequence and an expression of a world of divorce,
00:34:07.260
What law actually is, is an ordinance of reason for the common good by him who has care of the community and promulgated.
00:34:19.040
There is a connection between the civil laws, the domestic laws, you know, the rules of the house,
00:34:23.780
and the natural law and the enduring moral order.
00:34:30.080
Well, mommy and daddy enforce these laws, and there's even an order to the household.
00:34:35.600
Traditionally speaking, it would be daddy, who's the head of the household.
00:34:38.900
And daddy and mommy become one flesh and are married.
00:34:42.640
And when you explode that, you explode a lot more than just, you know,
00:34:47.460
going on vacation with mommy and daddy together.
00:34:50.000
You explode a lot more than just the one house you're living in.
00:34:52.700
You explode the entire sense of how one behaves, how society is ordered,
00:34:58.200
whether or not there is objective, solid reality,
00:35:01.500
whether or not reason can be applied to human behavior.
00:35:06.240
When you exalt mere passion or irrational interest,
00:35:14.500
when you exalt that and just say, well, I'm going to do me, you know, in my 40s, man,
00:35:17.740
I'm just, this is me time, you know, and I'm going to do whatever I want.
00:35:27.540
And you scandalize the public broadly because the marriage, the family is the fundamental
00:35:36.080
You know, the iconic, many people are calling it iconic.
00:35:42.840
Everybody wants one, but there's only one way to get it.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Jaden Boxall, who says,
00:36:37.300
I'd actually never heard that, and I'm going to steal it.
00:36:40.380
Mine, that's my line now, I'm going to use that.
00:36:46.100
Speaking of norms of behavior, a woman has gone viral for describing to TikTok how she got a date
00:36:57.740
I saw this really cute guy at the grocery store the other day.
00:37:01.100
So naturally, I followed him to the checkout counter, and when he gave the cashier his credit card,
00:37:08.700
And then I Googled him and found his social media profiles, and I was able to tell that he was single.
00:37:14.740
So I went through his friends list, and I found his mother's page.
00:37:18.560
And then I looked through his mother's page, and I saw that she was a member of this book club that's in my area.
00:37:27.180
So I went to the book club meeting, and I met his mom there, and we bonded over some books that we both liked.
00:37:33.120
And she just thought I was so nice, and I brought it up randomly in conversation that I was single.
00:37:38.720
And she let me know that she had a son that was single also that lived in the area,
00:37:42.260
and maybe it would be cool for us to get together and chat sometime.
00:37:45.300
So I gave her my number, which she gave to her son.
00:37:49.520
And this morning, he texted me and asked if I'd like to get together this weekend and do something.
00:38:01.660
Something that I think most people on the internet missed is this is obviously just a bit.
00:38:09.920
I don't have proof of that, but I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that it's just a bit.
00:38:16.540
In part because, one, it's very difficult to see someone's name on a credit card.
00:38:22.840
You know, like if you're online at a grocery store, my eyes aren't that good, but I don't think you could do it really.
00:38:27.800
And then, two, if you've got the date with the guy in a few hours and you're really this crazy,
00:38:32.880
you wouldn't post a TikTok about it before the date, would you?
00:38:37.120
Maybe you'd tell your friends or something, but you probably wouldn't do that.
00:38:41.620
And it's gone viral, and the reason that it's of public interest, I think, is because of the reaction to it.
00:38:47.740
Because there's one really stupid reaction that I've seen for the people who are taking this seriously,
00:38:52.900
who think this woman actually did this, which is, can you imagine if a man did this?
00:38:59.140
If a man behaved this way, it would be that this woman would take out a restraining order.
00:39:04.980
But if a woman behaves this way, we all kind of laugh it off and say it's cute, albeit perhaps a little crazy.
00:39:19.780
It's different than when women do the same stuff.
00:39:39.140
Long live the distinction between men and women.
00:39:42.520
Isn't that, men are from Mars, women are from Venus.
00:39:45.320
So this, you know, if this were real, this woman's probably about 15% too crazy.
00:39:50.220
But a lot of guys, if a cute girl walks up to a guy and says, hey, I think you're really cute, you know.
00:39:55.340
Or she even kind of looks you up, whatever, finds you on Instagram or Facebook and messages you and says, hey, you're cute, you want to get a drink?
00:40:04.560
Whereas if it were in the reverse and some dude did this to a chick, the woman would have her guard up and say the guy seems kind of creepy.
00:40:14.160
And men and women have different reactions to and inclinations toward the opposite sex.
00:40:23.440
And some people on the right, I mean, this is just a silly little video that's going around.
00:40:27.680
But some people on the right, they take this stuff very, very seriously.
00:40:32.680
I think this is one of the big problems with the, I guess you'd call it red pill movement or the men going their own way.
00:40:41.140
Or the guys who really, they really seem to not like women and they don't want to get married and they just, they're furious at women, you know.
00:40:48.740
They seem to have the same kind of anthropology that the libs do, you know, in the sense that they hate the difference between men and women.
00:40:59.820
I guess it's the difference between a normal person, a normal guy should look at a woman.
00:41:06.600
A liberal guy would look at a woman and say there's no difference between a woman and a man.
00:41:13.900
A normal guy should look at men and women and say, ah, women, women, those women, very difficult to understand those women.
00:41:24.220
And then the guys who have been really just radicalized, I don't know, they say, oh, the women, they're different.
00:41:32.000
No, I really like, if the women were not different and I were attracted to women, that would mean that I'm gay.
00:41:37.240
And that's kind of, it would be kind of weird, wouldn't it?
00:41:41.300
They sound, ironically, just like the guys on the left.
00:41:47.260
Maybe that, is that, do they call that horseshoe theory?
00:41:49.720
Speaking of overzealous people, poll just came out from Rasmussen that shows that most Democrats would oppose certifying the election if President Trump were to win in 2024.
00:42:04.020
I love this poll, it is chef's kiss punchline of the last three years.
00:42:14.220
2021, January 6th, President Trump has ostensibly lost the election.
00:42:21.980
Some Republicans are a little skeptical because, you know, the Democrats changed all the voting rules to favor them.
00:42:28.360
And in some cases, they did so illegally and unconstitutionally, as in the case of Pennsylvania.
00:42:33.360
And then they started counting the votes, and the vote count seemed to be going for Trump.
00:42:36.440
And then they just paused voting overnight, and they wouldn't let some election watchers in in certain precincts.
00:42:41.960
And then what do you know, they pick up vote counting after, you know, the middle of the night.
00:42:47.640
And what do you know, Biden all of a sudden is ahead.
00:42:54.680
So some Republicans, a little skeptical about how that election went off, and they challenged the certification on January 6th, the worst day ever.
00:43:04.520
And the most credible challenge to it was advanced by Senator Cruz, I thought it was very wise, which was to establish an electoral commission,
00:43:11.660
which is what happened in 1877 after the contested election of 1876, when there was a whole lot of chicanery in there.
00:43:18.720
And there was an electoral commission that was established, and a deal was struck to determine that presidential election.
00:43:25.680
So that's what Senator Cruz and some members of the House proposed.
00:43:31.300
This was a grave threat to democracy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:43:34.680
Now the Democrats are saying that not if they lose the election under dubious circumstances, but if they lose the election, even fair and square,
00:43:47.880
they will do the very same thing that they told the Republicans was insurrection.
00:43:52.620
The question was, some Democrats in Congress have said that if Trump wins this year's election,
00:43:57.960
they will vote against certifying the election results because of Trump's role on January 6th, 2021.
00:44:02.760
Do you support or oppose Democrats refusing to certify the election if Trump wins?
00:44:14.580
Nearly two-thirds of liberals said they would oppose certification.
00:44:18.680
Ironically, they are revealing that they would be willing to cheat if Trump won fair and square.
00:44:27.280
Republicans, now you might say, well, the election wasn't stolen in 2020.
00:44:31.080
Okay, I'm not even taking up that question for a second.
00:44:34.480
I'm just pointing out the Republicans who opposed certification of the election results
00:44:38.220
believed, I think, quite legitimately, that there was illegal chicanery that went on in the election,
00:44:48.780
And so the Republicans were pursuing a legally precedented, what they believe to be legal path,
00:45:00.800
The Democrats are saying, no, they're flipping it.
00:45:03.160
They're saying, no, no, no, we will cheat if Trump wins a fair election.
00:45:07.340
It's not just that what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
00:45:10.240
You know, it's not just that the Democrats are doing what the Republicans did.
00:45:13.680
They're going much, much further, which is always the case.
00:45:20.080
Do I mention this to say, imagine, imagine if the shoe were to the other foot, imagine if the roles were reversed.
00:45:27.280
No, no, I don't like to say that because it's a very silly thing to say.
00:45:30.760
I mention all of this because the next time it happens, and you know the Democrats are going to do it.
00:45:36.800
The next time that they say, this is unprecedented, you need to look.
00:45:40.980
It's one thing to be a Republican, but this kind of man, this kind of election, this, so you can't possibly defend this.
00:45:52.320
Please remember that whatever they are accusing you of doing, not only are you not likely doing that,
00:45:58.860
they would be willing to do 10 times what they are accusing you of doing.
00:46:03.100
They are much more willing to do a far less just version of whatever it is that they are accusing you of doing.
00:46:17.720
When they tell you what they believe, what they want to do, how far they're willing to go,
00:46:21.900
that they would be willing to steal an election, hey, I wonder if perhaps they thought the same way in 2020.
00:46:29.800
When they tell you that, you ought to believe them.
