American Eagle has killed wokeness. Or at least, they killed the idea that it was possible to be woken. And they did it with one of the most memorable ads of the 21st century: Sidney Sweeney in a tank top and jeans.
00:01:30.180A Cincinnati jazz festival has turned violent and gone viral as a gang of black teens attacks older white people.
00:01:38.460I have many more pearls of wisdom to give you.
00:01:41.740First, though, you've got to go to BollandBranch.com slash Knowles.
00:01:43.960You know that feeling when you invest in something truly well-made, like those leather boots that only get more comfortable with each wear,
00:01:49.680or that solid wood table that'll outlast three apartments.
00:01:52.620That is exactly what I discovered with Bolland Branch sheets.
00:01:55.580They're crafted with that same philosophy of lasting quality.
00:01:58.220While most bedding deteriorates, these sheets actually get better and softer wash after wash,
00:02:02.800making them one of those rare purchases that keeps rewarding you long after you've made it.
00:09:26.680But it is better if you have to choose.
00:09:28.820It's better for a company to sell normal sex than to sell weird sex.
00:09:31.400Because selling normal sex plays on lust, which is a vice.
00:09:35.760But selling weird sex like androgynous, LGBT, bizarro world, polycule stuff is not only sometimes playing on vice, but it's also contrary to nature.
00:09:49.140That's why not all, you know, traditionally in Christianity, sexual sins are considered pretty important.
00:10:25.700It's a return to how she's a pretty girl showing off her body in kind of normal ways and arousing men in normal ways to sell blue jeans.
00:10:38.540And we want to, we want grace to perfect nature.
00:10:43.360We want to overcome some of our more animal nature.
00:10:46.400But given how degraded a state our culture has found itself in, I say at least two cheers for Sidney Sweeney.
00:10:53.600I'm not willing to go three cheers for the Sidney Sweeney ad campaign because we want to move into an even more civilized, wholesome kind of culture.
00:11:02.560But for now, given where we've been, two cheers.
00:11:23.500You know, he's a brash billionaire reality TV star, famously a playboy who's dated supermodels.
00:11:31.540So he's not, he's not this picture of Tweety conservatism, but he is a bridge from where we were, radical leftism, back to a normal country.
00:11:50.880Now, speaking of relations between the sexes, there is a major scandal involving a new app called the Tea App, where women try to spread gossip about men.
00:12:02.720And then the women just got hacked, so gossip is being spread about them.
00:12:07.040And before we spill the tea, I want to tell you about oil and natural gas.
00:12:11.340That's why I want to tell you about Chevron.
00:12:12.900America is built on hard work and powered by American energy.
00:12:16.960Chevron has spent $44 billion with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities, all while strengthening local economies.
00:12:27.580Last year, Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20%, powering communities and businesses from the heartlands to the coast.
00:12:34.780We're helping to fuel America's energy advantage, building a brighter future right here at home.
00:12:39.760Visit chevron.com slash America to discover more.
00:12:48.780I'm very pleased to say that I missed online dating.
00:12:52.200Sweet little Elisa and I, who had been high school sweethearts, really met in middle school.
00:12:56.580We got together just as online dating was taking off.
00:13:01.720So I've never really been on the apps.
00:13:04.080And there's the Tinder and there's, if you're a Democrat, there's Grindr and there's Bumble and whatever, Hinge and all this.
00:13:11.500But there's now, we're so far down the rabbit hole of online dating that there are now apps about the apps.
00:13:19.400There are ancillary dating apps that allow you to warn other people about the people that you're going to meet on the dating apps, one of which was called Tea.
00:13:29.560So the New York Times was reporting that there was a data breach with Tea.
00:13:34.060Tea was this app where girls and women could log on, had to prove who they were.
00:13:38.820So they submitted their IDs or whatever, and then they said, hey, I went on a date with Johnny and he's a creep.
00:13:44.700Or, you know, I went on a date with Bill and he didn't pick up the tab.
00:13:48.680It was basically Yelp for online dating.
00:13:52.480Reviews of men that other women could date.
00:13:55.580So before you go on, after you match with the guy, but before you go on the date with the guy,
00:13:59.220you can go to guy Yelp and read reviews based on his past customers, the other women who've gone on dates with him.
00:14:06.720Well, now it seems that those gossipy women have been hoisted with their own petard because there was a data breach that exposed the photos and ID cards of the women who signed up for Tea,
00:14:18.940which was exploding in the app stores, getting a ton of downloads.
00:14:22.360So on Friday, Tea said hackers had breached a data storage system, exposing 72,000 images, including selfies and photo ID of the users.
00:14:32.980This app is not totally new, though it was really exploding recently, but it was released in 2023.
00:14:39.240And it was even likened among its users as a Yelp service for women.
00:14:45.340So this, of course, raised a question for men.
00:14:48.760If women can have an app that allows them to warn each other about whether a guy is creepy or cheap or doesn't look like his pictures or something,
00:14:58.420can men have an app that warns other men of whether or not women are crazy?
00:15:06.080If the chief fear for the women is that the man is a creep, which is what this was ostensibly about, are these men dangerous?
00:15:13.660If the chief fear was that the women would put themselves in a bad situation and go on a date with these men,
00:17:49.120Can you recommend someone that I could go on a date with, get set up on a blind date?
00:17:53.080You could meet someone through a more organic activity like school or church or work or something like that.
00:17:59.120If you, though, just treat dating like an open marketplace, well, then you're going to be treated like a good that is bought and sold in the marketplace.
00:18:11.640This actually kind of relates to the Sidney Sweeney story in that we are now, left and right, going back at best to the 1990s.
00:18:36.880We're going to let the invisible hand of the market do its works.
00:18:39.760You had the right talking about that for a couple of decades.
00:18:42.380And then even the left came around, and it spread around the West, not only in America.
00:18:46.600You had Bill Clinton in the United States.
00:18:48.300You had Tony Blair in the United Kingdom, the New Democrats, New Labor, this worship of market dynamics, a move toward privatization.
00:18:58.040But we realized there was a problem with that.
00:18:59.720Politically, the problem was we were then surrendering a lot of power to corporations who were even less accountable in many ways than the government was.
00:19:08.260And personally, we were commoditizing everything to the point that now we've commoditized even human babies.
00:19:14.780You can go to the baby store, you can purchase eggs, you can purchase sperm, you can make a baby like you would design a Build-A-Bear in a toy shop in the mall.
00:19:23.240And I think we're starting to recognize that's not really good.
00:19:26.000I mean, that is, at a very, very basic level, a kind of idolatry, where you are treating, in the case of the advertising, you're treating these glittering images of a cute girl as a kind of a god or goddess that you're worshiping.
00:19:47.040So persuasive that you're going to go buy the blue jeans.
00:19:51.480And in the case of the T-app, you're treating human, you're conflating human beings with the glittering images on the screen.
00:19:58.360And you're reviewing them in a way that is deeply inhuman.
00:22:43.520But she just feels like something's missing.
00:22:46.320So she's going to ruin her kids' lives.
00:22:49.560She's going to ruin her husband's life.
00:22:52.460She's going to probably even screw up the dog a little bit.
00:22:55.180Because she just feels like there must be something else out there, right?
00:23:01.460This is the imagination of man's heart is evil from his very youth.
00:23:08.360You know that line right after the flood of Noah and then the water goes away and then Noah starts sacrificing animals to God and God says, oh, right.
00:23:19.100The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.
00:23:22.200That's even, I mentioned on the show a week or two ago, Drew Klavan's favorite joke, the orange for a head joke.
00:23:30.480I won't retell the joke, but the punchline is a guy has an orange for a head because he asked for it, which is about the perversity of man's heart.
00:24:25.560If you make your life just all about you, if you merely go back to, if you live in 2020 liberalism, where it's just all about me, me, me, and my identity, and I can redefine reality, you're going to do this stuff.
00:24:39.900If you even go back to 90s liberalism, which is about, you know, I'm going to live for me now, man, and I'm going to pursue my interest economically, politically, personally, sexually, any of these things, then you're not going to be satisfied because you're not enough.
00:25:14.720So you're grasping for something that you cannot grab in a temporal and material way.
00:25:20.860So you're always going to be unsatisfied if that's where your aim is.
00:25:24.320If you make your relationships, your relationship to your husband, your relationship to reality, about something other than yourself, if you make it about the other person, that's better.
00:25:35.840But ultimately, you have to make it about God because only in God, who is unchanging, who is eternal, who is spirit, who made you for many, many reasons, only in God will you find your peace.
00:25:51.640Only in God will you find the satisfaction for the longings of your soul that cannot be satisfied in this world.
00:25:57.420And then you'll stay in your marriage because God told you to.
00:26:01.540And then you'll actually be happy in your marriage.
00:26:04.720And marriage here is just one example.
00:27:13.120We've gone like 500 years off the rails, okay?
00:27:15.580And so we need to dig fundamentally if we want to recover a good civilization that isn't literally dying because of a declining birth rate, because of a declining marriage rate.
00:27:25.140Because women like that horrid witch decide to abandon their husbands because they just feel like there's something else out there.

00:28:06.680Now, speaking of images on a screen that you should go watch, you should check out Yes or No.
00:28:12.660Because I sat down with my friend Dave Rubin.
00:28:14.260Should leaking risque photos be illegal?
00:28:16.420Do lesbians use their relationships to train for MMA competition?
00:30:25.300But, but when I say brutalism is socialism in architecture, I mean, it's, I mean that in a pretty technical way.
00:30:31.960The, the Eastern Bloc countries, overcome by the Soviet Union, they built socialist architecture.
00:30:38.000Washington, D.C. during the middle of the 20th century, when extreme liberals and socialists had a lot of sway there, built ugly, brutalist architecture.
00:30:47.320Why? A lot of university campuses, especially state schools, have brutalist architecture.
00:31:01.960Well, it follows earlier modern architectural movements, going back to Bauhaus or the international style even, or, or this notion that form follows function.
00:31:16.240Very socialist, the idea that you should have nothing superfluous.
00:31:23.940You should have nothing that is merely for ornamentation or for beauty's sake.
00:31:28.000You want to use the cheapest materials possible with the simplest designs possible that are clinical, that get the job done.
00:31:36.020And then you can, all the extra material and all the extra resources of design, you can go use to build even more blocky monstrosities.
00:31:45.480Because we're just going to have form, the form of the building follow function.
00:32:56.560The modern, ugly office building kind of courtroom.
00:33:01.440It feels like any other ephemeral building or organization.
00:33:06.320subject to all the same political intrigue, subject to all the same pettiness, temporary, native, cheap materials that are not going to last, forget millennia or centuries, they're not going to last 20 years.
00:33:24.000You just feel as though there's less connection to justice, which is the point of the building.
00:33:33.340If you live in a home and the home is just one of these disgusting, it's not quite as bad as the Obama library, but it's just one of these weird like blocky things they build in the suburbs now, black and white little cubes.
00:33:43.600You can say, well, the form follows function.
00:34:02.100Ornamentation, detail, all the little nuances that trigger our memory.
00:34:09.480Nice materials, some of which can be a little more, they don't always have to be expensive, but if they're a little more expensive, maybe that, maybe it's worth it.
00:34:20.380It's Barack Obama's, Barack Obama's library reflects his politics.
00:34:25.580And it's a politics that is not only passe, it's a politics that has not only roundly been rejected, it's a politics that is not only ugly, but it's just been disproven.
00:34:41.320The central claims that it makes are just wrong.
00:34:45.620That's why we're trying to knock it down and build beautiful things again, great things again.
00:34:49.340Okay, now speaking of Dems looking bad, the Democrats just completely obliterated themselves with a tweet that they tried to delete, but not before someone caught a screen grab.
00:34:59.720First, I want to tell you about an exciting new project that I am working on.
00:35:04.720I'm pleased to announce a brand new original docu-series coming to Daily Wire Plus from your favorite podcast host to give you the very first look.
00:35:12.140It is titled, The Pope and the Fuhrer, The Secret Vatican Files of World War II.
00:35:18.320Yes, the title is as provocative as the truth it uncovers.
00:35:22.620For decades, Pope Pius XII, one of the great men of the 20th century, has been maligned.
00:35:30.520He has been condemned for his supposed silence during World War II and the Nazi atrocities.
00:35:35.560And this has always been wrong, and we are Pope Pius XII respecters on this show, and you should be too.
00:35:42.120Now, though, with unprecedented access to the Vatican's wartime archives, we uncover what really happened and why history may have gotten it all wrong.
00:35:50.180The series premieres Wednesday, August 13th, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:42:50.540You know the thing that you're supposed to do when there's a video like this with a racial angle where it's, you know, a gang of black people attack white people or something.
00:42:59.300There's the thing you're supposed to say, which is imagine.
00:43:03.600Imagine if the roles were reversed here.
00:43:06.140Imagine, not even when it's always racial or if it's like a Democrat or a Republican.
00:43:54.300The only thing you can do that would be right for the victims, most especially, but even the right thing for the perpetrators, would be to ruthlessly enforce the law against violent crime.
00:44:09.760This is really pathetic that Cincinnati puts up with this, but it's true in a lot of our cities, and whenever something like this happens, it's often sweeped under the rug if the racial angle goes in the right direction, or it's blown up to be an international incident if the racial angle of it fits the liberal narrative.
00:44:31.320But the only thing to do that would be just for everyone is to ruthlessly enforce the law.
00:44:35.820I think even of Plato's Gorgias, an ancient philosophical text in which Socrates makes the point that to be—obviously, we're thinking about this for the victims, these poor victims who can't walk the street at night without being bludgeoned by gangs.
00:44:53.100But even the perpetrators, you do wrong by the perpetrators when you don't lock them up for this because you encourage this kind of behavior, and they behave like wild animals.
00:45:01.520And Socrates is calling this many moons ago, or Plato is calling this in the voice of Socrates, where he says, you actually harm perpetrators when you don't discipline them for their bad behavior because it's worse to do wrong than to have wrong done to you.
00:45:18.200To have wrong done to you is just a part of human life in a fallen world.
00:45:21.920To do wrong actually damages your soul.
00:45:24.080And so for everyone, the only thing you could do at a practical political level, if you run on, we're going to have a conversation.
00:45:31.080If you run on that, if you run on the liberal line, I don't think that's going to appeal to people these days.
00:45:34.880And if you run on, I don't know, some kind of really hard line kind of racial campaign or something where you say, you know, like we're going to punish this race or this group or whatever, that's not going to work either.
00:45:51.580But if you just run and say, we're going to enforce the law ruthlessly, and we're going to let the chips fall where they may, and that's going to be good for everyone involved, and we're going to make sure that there's justice, especially at this moment in time, I think that wins.
00:46:06.600I think that wins even in blue cities like Cincinnati.
00:46:10.180You know, the media were always huffing and huffing about this notion that we have an over-incarceration problem, but of course we don't.
00:46:16.820If videos like that are going around, we have a major under-incarceration problem.
00:46:21.680We need to lock more people up for much longer, and we need punishments to be much harsher.
00:46:27.340And we need the prosecutions and the punishment.
