Two weeks after its alternate lies about and celebrations of Charlie Kirk's assassination,
00:00:05.760
the left is now promoting the equally ridiculous narrative that the LDS church shooter was a MAGA
00:00:11.700
supporter from the right. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000
Welcome back to the show. The first ever AI actress to be signed by a talent agency has
00:00:42.100
come to Hollywood. Some people are worried about AI taking over everything. I, for one,
00:00:46.840
think this is great because this will now lead fewer girls to become actresses and ruin their
00:00:52.460
lives. But anyway, we'll get to what this means for Hollywood and for the rest of the jobs.

00:02:18.440
Here it is. Stop the presses. The libs can't print this fast enough. Mormon church shooter had a Trump
00:02:25.980
sign outside his house. That is from the Daily Beast. The rest of the liberal media have similar
00:02:32.580
headlines. And it is clear what they are trying to do is create a counterbalance to the leftist
00:02:41.140
assassination of Charlie Kirk. So you're going to say, okay, some guy who we initially tried to lie
00:02:45.720
about and say was a MAGA Republican. Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for it. Okay, that guy, I guess, fine.
00:02:51.340
We have to admit he was kind of on the left. But then a right winger went out and shot up a Mormon
00:02:55.700
church. See, he had a Trump sign in his yard. But look at the subheader here that even the Daily Beast
00:03:02.080
had to admit. Authorities stressed that they have yet to identify a motive for the attack on the Mormon
00:03:07.160
church amid social media speculation. Now, that's kind of strange, isn't it? The subheader says the
00:03:14.040
authorities don't have a motive. And yet the header, in much bigger font, says Mormon church
00:03:20.600
shooter had a Trump sign outside his house. Do you see the distinction between these two things?
00:03:28.260
In the case of the left-wing assassin who murdered Charlie Kirk, it is eminently clear from the
00:03:36.080
engravings on the bullet casings, from the messages that the shooter allegedly sent to his trans furry
00:03:42.040
boyfriend, from the fact that he had a trans furry boyfriend. It is very clear that the shooting
00:03:46.800
was directly related to his left-wing ideology. In the case of the LDS church shooting, there is no
00:03:55.340
indication whatsoever that his alleged reported Trump support had anything to do with the shooting.
00:04:04.620
No evidence at all. Even the Daily Beast has to admit it. That's the difference.
00:04:08.140
It'd be like saying, a Mormon church shooter wore a blue shirt. Therefore, it was his blue shirt that
00:04:16.980
motivated him. No, of course not. And it wouldn't make sense. Mormons are overwhelmingly Republican.
00:04:22.200
They're generally rather conservative right-wing people. There's no through line there at all. Whereas,
00:04:30.480
a left-winger assassinating one of the most prominent right-wingers in the popular culture
00:04:35.960
does have a connection. Even if the shooter had not explicitly admitted his ideological motivations,
00:04:42.660
which he did. Even on the bullets. Hey, fascist catch. We'll get to more of that in a second.
00:04:51.580
The White House Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt, went on Fox News to explain the motivations that the
00:04:59.640
authorities believe they see in the shooting as of now.
00:05:01.860
From what I understand, based on my conversations with the FBI director, all they know right now is
00:05:08.420
this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith. And they are trying to understand more
00:05:14.700
about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note.
00:05:20.060
All of those questions have yet to be answered, but certainly will be answered by the FBI.
00:05:25.600
Okay, so this is an easy inference to make, but the White House is now confirming it. Namely,
00:05:33.120
that the shooter, the guy who shot up the Mormon church and had an accelerant and set fire to the
00:05:37.480
church, that it turns out he hated Mormons. Which is crazy to me, just on its face. Of all the groups
00:05:44.720
to hate, Mormons are some of the nicest people on earth. They're totally inoffensive in their behavior.
00:05:53.000
They have nice children. They have nice places. Big families. So, the fact that this guy hated
00:06:01.000
Mormons is curious in itself. I'm sure more will come out in the investigation. But the takeaway,
00:06:07.860
obviously, is there is no connection whatsoever between this guy's voting habits, affinity or lack
00:06:16.100
of affinity for Donald Trump or anything else, and the shooting. It'd be like saying he drove there
00:06:20.720
in a Toyota Camry. Therefore, this is a Toyota-related violence. There's no connection.
00:06:26.900
The same would be true if a left-wing shooter set fire to a building or murdered people,
00:06:32.460
but did not have a direct connection. If a left-wing shooter went in and shot up a Burger King because
00:06:37.920
he hates the Whopper, not because he has a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris sign in his yard, you would
00:06:42.780
say, okay, that isn't necessarily left-wing ideological violence. If, however, the left engraves Antifa
00:06:47.920
slogans on its bullets and confesses in texts that left-wing ideology is what's motivating the
00:06:53.520
shooting, then you have to come to a different conclusion. In any case, any reasonable person
00:06:58.360
has to conclude there is no equivalence between these two things. Desperate as the left is right
00:07:03.240
now to identify an example of right-wing terrorism amid the research that's come out, amid the other
00:07:12.360
headlines, even from the Atlantic, which says that after 30 years, there's a major left-wing terror
00:07:16.820
problem as they're so desperate for it. They have yet to find it. The other big difference, by the
00:07:23.980
way, look at the reactions. Look at the reactions to the shooting. On the left, you had the mainstream
00:07:33.880
left in academia, on TV, even in political office, accepting, excusing, justifying, even celebrating
00:07:43.520
Charlie Kirk's assassination. On the right, every single person condemns the Mormon church shooting.
00:07:49.180
Just one more little example. And furthermore, Trump comes out and he says this appears to be
00:07:54.380
yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America. No equivalence,
00:08:00.380
left-wing terror increases, right-wing terror, happily, I suppose we would say, nowhere to be found.
00:08:06.360
Now, speaking of murderous leftists, some information has come out about a left-wing attack
00:08:13.020
from a few years ago. Do you remember when the left-wing guy traveled across the country to try
00:08:19.280
to murder Brett Kavanaugh in his home with his family? Could have murdered his entire family as
00:08:23.780
well. Well, that guy, I'm not going to even say his name. I'll say his first name, not his last name.
00:08:28.460
That guy was known as Nicholas. That was his name. There's a case, United States versus Nicholas,
00:08:36.660
and then his last name. However, the Daily Wire managed to break the story about how Nicholas today
00:08:43.820
goes by Sophie. Here we go again. I won't read this whole court motion, but I'll read this footnote
00:08:54.300
here at the end. The case is captioned as United States versus Nicholas so-and-so. That name remains
00:09:00.920
Ms. so-and-so's legal name, and she has not asked to recaption the case. Out of respect for Ms. so-and-so,
00:09:08.600
the balance of this pleading and counsel's in-court agreement will refer to her as Sophie and use female
00:09:15.380
pronouns. It's always the ones you most expect. I wasn't even counting on that one, being a case
00:09:26.700
of trans political violence. But it is. It's always the ones you most expect. I'm not being glib about
00:09:35.500
this. I'm not trying to be cute. There is a reason that so many of the great horror, thriller,
00:09:42.780
slasher movies ever have a transvestite, transsexual as the monster, because it's a monstrous ideology
00:09:52.880
that turns the self against the self, that actually rips the self asunder, and that enacts a kind of
00:10:00.160
ritual suicide in the death of the natural person and the supposed rebirth of the new trans identity,
00:10:09.160
after which one refers to one's true self, natural self, as a dead name, an actual ritual
00:10:16.900
suicide. It is no wonder that people who hold that kind of an ideology, that kind of an identity,
00:10:23.980
might be a little disconnected from reality, might be a little bit violent.
00:10:30.520
This is important. All of this is very important because
00:10:33.720
when even the liberal outlets are admitting that there's a left-wing violence problem,
00:10:39.680
it's a good opportunity to have a national reckoning on it and to try to figure out why that is.
00:10:43.880
Why do certain identities and even certain political ideologies more naturally lend themselves
00:10:49.180
to violence? This is going to be the topic of my speech at Harvard Law School on Thursday.
00:10:54.160
I'm going up to Harvard Law. If you're in the Boston area, come on by. You can find,
00:10:59.160
just Google it, Michael Knowles Harvard Law School. I'm sure there are websites to reserve your seats.
00:11:03.760
Even if you're not in the Boston area, come on, travel on up. It's going to be a good time.
00:11:08.600
This is going to be the topic of the speech. I think it's a good venue for it.
00:11:12.160
Because as we said at the top of the show, there are liberals who are desperately trying to suggest
00:11:17.660
that political violence is a both sides issue. And we just need to bring the temperature down
00:11:22.340
on all sides. And that just isn't the case. It is uniquely a left-wing phenomenon right now.
00:11:28.380
And the only way to stop the political violence is to focus our attention where it is. And that is
00:11:35.800
on the political left. So anyway, we'll get into that up at Harvard if you're in the area,
00:11:39.340
or if you now plan to be in the area. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
00:11:43.400
Okay. Now, speaking of the trans issue, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just totally destroyed
00:11:50.200
with facts and logic. A pro-trans Congress lady. We'll get to that momentarily. First,
00:11:54.500

00:13:08.020
was just debating the trans issues, specifically trans in the military,
00:13:14.620
with some Democrat pro-trans Congress lady, Sarah Jacobs. Did not go well for the Democrat Congress
00:13:21.840
lady. Because if it were, you would be keeping these women in. Instead, you are the one injecting
00:13:29.380
culture wars into the military, and it's at the detriment of our military readiness and national
00:13:34.440
security. Now, General Kane, I'd like to turn to you. So to be clear, these are men who think
00:13:40.160
they're women. These are women. I'm happy to educate you on trans issues. What we've identified
00:13:46.020
is that there's mental health issues with that belief system that are detrimental to readiness.
00:13:51.260
And that's the determination that we've made and that we stand behind. Gender dysphoria
00:13:54.760
creates complications. Pete Hegseth with The Patience of a Saint. This woman, she's referring
00:14:02.800
to the men who have sexual confusion as women. And she says, if you kick these women, these mentally
00:14:10.120
ill men, out of the military, you will be compromising military readiness. Pete comes in, he says,
00:14:17.440
you're talking about the men, right? You're talking about the guys who think they're ladies.
00:14:19.920
He says, they're women. I'm happy to educate you, Mr. Hegseth, Secretary of War with degrees
00:14:27.820
from Princeton and Harvard. So even by our own credential standard, you're well-educated.
00:14:33.440
I'm going to educate you. And Pete just totally knocks it down. He says, yeah, we have identified
00:14:41.760
mental health issues with that belief system that are contrary to military readiness. So we stand by
00:14:50.460
our conclusion. Very diplomatic way to put it. A diplomatic way and a clinical way to put what we
00:14:59.200
all know to be true, which is that guys who are totally nuts are not good for the military.
00:15:04.040
Guys who, in their supposed treatment, will be injecting their bodies with foreign hormones,
00:15:12.380
contrary to their nature, probably not going to be great for readiness.
00:15:17.880
Guys who want to lower their testosterone, probably not the best fit to be G.I. Joe.
00:15:24.820
That's all he's saying. And the Democrat Congress lady, she must think it's 2021 or something.
00:15:29.740
I don't know. I don't think she has noticed the sea change. We've had enough of this.
00:15:35.440
I think we're exhausted. Not just the political right, but I think the middle,
00:15:41.040
I think the ordinary American, I think we've had enough of this.
00:15:46.300
The moment that the libs at a real national scale tried to trans little kids,
00:15:50.880
that was the beginning of the end of the transgender issue. That's a complete loser for Democrats.
00:15:55.660
I hope they keep running on this. I hope they keep yapping about it. We're going to play it in the
00:15:59.220
midterms. We're going to manage to hold the House if we pursue that, if they pursue that strategy,
00:16:04.720
and we follow them up. The notion of both sides, political violence, keep yapping about it.
00:16:12.100
It isn't true. And we've had enough of that. We're not going to entertain that anymore. We have
00:16:19.020
entertained a lot of these things. Pete Hegseth still demonstrating the patience of a saint,
00:16:23.440
but that's over. No, no more trans stuff. It's nuts. It's completely nuts. And the people who
00:16:31.740
hold to that belief system are totally nuts. And the only charitable thing to do is admit that truth
00:16:38.020
and try to help them see reality. And the violent domestic terrorists are on the left. They're just
00:16:47.080
on the left. They're not on the right. They're not. They're on the left. And so the charitable thing to do,
00:16:52.160
the smart thing, the patriotic thing for our country, is to recognize that fact and ruthlessly
00:16:57.960
suppress violent leftist organizations and ideologies and exclude them from the public square
00:17:04.500
and prosecute them where appropriate. We're not going to pretend anymore. I know it might make
00:17:09.860
the mainstream normie lib happy, feel good about himself to hear that it's really both sides. I know
00:17:17.100
it might make the ideologue or the sexual deviant or the person with a trans-identifying cousin or
00:17:24.000
whatever maybe feel kind of nice if we pretend that chopping up your body has no effect on your
00:17:29.600
fitness for the U.S. military. But we're done pretending. Okay? We've had enough.
00:17:35.420
You can just feel it. It's in the air. And if Democrats want to keep running on that,
00:17:39.100
be my guest. Be my guest. They're never going to take a house of this government again.
00:17:43.000
Now, speaking of Trump administration officials,
00:17:47.980
Gavin Newsom is trying to launch his own presidential campaign. And so he keeps hitting
00:17:53.120
the Trump administration. And his press team, specifically, is trying to troll the Trump
00:17:59.460
administration to get attention, even if it's negative attention, like a petulant little toddler.
00:18:03.840
So the Gavin Newsom press office, which is a real account actually run by Gavin Newsom,
00:18:09.100
tweets out, all caps, this was three, four days ago,
00:18:18.980
Why did he tweet this? Why did Gavin Newsom, governor of California, would-be Democrat nominee
00:18:25.200
in 2028? Why did he tweet this? What is the semantic value of this statement?
00:18:32.840
Is it that Stephen Miller is a fascist? He's not. He's an ordinary conservative American who
00:18:39.040
happens to work for the administration as deputy chief of staff. Is it that
00:18:43.480
Gavin Newsom just doesn't like Stephen Miller? So fascist is just one of those words like
00:18:49.420
racist or bigot or Nazi that just doesn't indicate anything precisely other than that the person
00:18:55.900
uttering the phrase doesn't like you. There's a little bit to that. But really, in the context of
00:19:01.260
the past couple weeks, what that phrase indicates is, I want to do you harm. Or I want other people to
00:19:10.020
do you harm. Because the political context here, and I promise you, Gavin Newsom is aware of political
00:19:16.300
context. The political context here is that the biggest national trauma that we have suffered in
00:19:21.140
decades involved a person on Gavin Newsom's side of the aisle shooting Charlie Kirk to death with a bullet
00:19:29.360
that had a fascist catch engraved on it. That's the political context. And Gavin Newsom knows that. He reads
00:19:38.480
the news. He follows the big cases. He knew Charlie Kirk. Think about what a psycho this guy is and his team
00:19:45.240
is. He knew Charlie Kirk. He begged to be friends with Charlie Kirk because he thought that having Charlie Kirk on
00:19:50.860
his podcast would help moderate his image. And now, Gavin Newsom, through official accounts, is making a joke
00:19:59.640
at best, at best, making a joke about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And more precisely, he's calling for
00:20:08.440
the same thing to happen to the Deputy White House Chief of Staff. What a psycho. The people who run that
00:20:15.660
account, up to and including Gavin Newsom himself, are the kind of people who celebrated Charlie's death. This is part of
00:20:26.120
the, we've had enough, okay, something's got to change, shift. We're two weeks out. Immediately after the shooting, there
00:20:37.520
were these awful responses. The Jimmy Kimmel, to lie, to make light, to celebrate. Then there was some
00:20:45.280
blowback for that. But even two weeks out, the left is doubling down. And it's not just some fringe guy
00:20:51.440
on Twitch. It's not just some random social media account. It's not some nobody. It's arguably the
00:20:57.940
leading candidate for president on the Democrat side in 2028. He's saying, hey, remember what they did to
00:21:04.640
Charlie? You should do that to Stephen Miller, too. Yeah. As if to say, the insinuation being that the
00:21:11.640
murder of Charlie Kirk was a good thing. It was a good thing. And we should joke about it, and we should
00:21:16.300
call for more of it. And it's not just Gavin Newsom who's doing that. You've seen that throughout the
00:21:21.380
left, in the media, in the private sector, in the government sphere, all over the place. But it's up to
00:21:26.400
including Gavin Newsom. Shows you, yikes. The normie Democrat Party is celebrating and calling for
00:21:36.480
more political violence against the most mainstream conservatives, including those who don't hold
00:21:41.520
public office. We've never seen anything like that in our country. We've never seen anything like that.
00:21:48.420
That is a scary position to be in. Now, speaking of learning nothing from the Charlie Kirk assassination,
00:21:56.220
Jimmy Kimmel is uncancelled. That's unfortunate. And at least one major left-wing voice
00:22:02.280
has some questions about it. We'll get to that in a second. First, I want to tell you about YAF.
00:22:06.640
It is shocking that more people have not heard of YAF's National Journalism Center. There is not a more
00:22:12.720
consequential and important pipeline from college into conservative media than NJC. It boasts a 12-week
00:22:18.320
internship training program that is fully paid, gives you access to the best reporters and
00:22:22.880
personalities in the business, and the most handsome, by the way. Many people are saying it.
00:22:26.920
It also sticks you right in a working newsroom in the first week. You want to be at the center of
00:22:31.740
the nation's biggest political stories? NJC is the fastest way to do it. We've had reporters here at
00:22:37.260
The Daily Wire who've attended NJC and launched their professional careers immediately. Our NJC alumni have
00:22:42.680
pursued stories relentlessly, like taking pictures from a helicopter to expose a dodgy Texas community
00:22:47.960
development marketed exclusively to illegal aliens. Their reporting was featured on Ben's show,
00:22:54.220
more importantly on my show, on the whole Daily Wire, on Fox News, and a host of other prominent
00:22:59.160
media outlets. This reporting from Daily Wire's NJC alum has created real, tangible change and put
00:23:04.660
concrete wins on the board for American patriots. It all traces back to NJC's internship journalism
00:23:09.420
boot camp, which covers everything you need to break into media, whether you're interested in
00:23:13.280
podcasting, video production, print reporting, or independent journalism. More importantly,
00:23:18.080
if you're tired of the fake news, liberal media, and you want to win, get off the sidelines into
00:23:22.380
the game. Submit your application to the National Journalism Center today. Charlemagne, the radio host,
00:23:29.700
kind of focuses on a black audience, on a liberal audience, but he's a big radio host. Charlemagne
00:23:35.720
just reacted to Jimmy Kimmel's tears. What I think most of us view as Jimmy Kimmel's crocodile tears.
00:23:43.900
Jimmy Kimmel being uncanceled. Here's what he had to say.
00:23:55.020
Because he cried when he mentioned Charlie Kirk.
00:23:58.820
He didn't cry two weeks ago or a week ago when he got-
00:24:01.960
I think he was crying that people thought he would celebrate the death of.
00:24:05.060
Like, that is what hurt him. It's like, how would you think I'm that kind of guy?
00:24:10.940
No, no, no. I feel like he should have said that because it felt like he was just
00:24:18.400
If he's that good of a crier on command, he should act.
00:24:20.980
I mean, he has that. He's acting forever. The man show.
00:24:24.140
The man show wasn't acting, dude. I'm talking about Jesus Christ.
00:24:30.560
Oh, you think that's just what he was in his life?
00:24:33.060
That's just where he was in his moment. But no, he used to do sketches and stuff like
00:24:36.260
that. He pretended to be called Malone for God's sake.
00:24:40.720
Stand over. He should have got an Emmy for that.
00:24:42.580
That didn't bother me, none. But my point is, I felt like when he was getting emotional,
00:24:47.980
he was doing that to show the other side, hey, I do care. And then he did the apology,
00:24:55.200
not an apology. You thought he said, I'm sorry. That's how the tone sounded.
00:25:03.060
But Charlemagne, 100% correct. Both the radio host and the grandson of Charles Martel. Both
00:25:08.380
of them, 100% correct. Jimmy Kimmel was fake crying. He worked himself up. He put on a good
00:25:15.280
performance. But Charlemagne's point is, hold on, why weren't you crying when Charlie got
00:25:18.880
murdered? When Charlie got murdered, Jimmy Kimmel comes on screen and goes, hey, yeah, you know,
00:25:22.900
the MAGA people this weekend, they were talking about that guy who murdered Charlie Kirk and
00:25:27.120
they were just trying to pretend he wasn't one of them. And they told this joke. Then after he got
00:25:33.780
canceled and he had to audition for his job again for to Sinclair and next star, Jimmy Kimmel comes
00:25:37.960
out. I was so moved by the memorial of the man whose death I mocked and lied about egregiously.
00:25:48.440
And if you're a real Christian, you'll support me getting my show back. Otherwise you're a fake
00:25:53.200
Christian. Totally right, Charlemagne. 100% right. Jimmy Kimmel, man. It's not that he was ever all
00:26:01.380
that high in my estimation. I would get a kick out of the man's show a little bit. But he's declined
00:26:08.080
in recent years. And at this point, as an entertainer, the guy's dead to me. I mean,
00:26:13.500
it's just so craven. It's so vulgar. It's just pathetic. And this is the issue. When you've got
00:26:20.800
the Atlantic admitting that the left has a terrorism problem, the left has a terrorism
00:26:25.520
problem. When you have one of the most popular liberal broadcasters in the entire country
00:26:30.120
admitting that Jimmy Kimmel's crying crocodile tears, saying that the left doesn't really care
00:26:37.940
about the murder of Charlie Kirk, when you've got that guy saying, then it's probably true,
00:26:41.980
isn't it? And that's a problem that's not going away. No one's improving. They're keeping up all the
00:26:47.720
rhetoric. One of the things that was most offensive about the reaction to Charlie's murder,
00:26:51.680
there were many parts of it, is that the left murdered Charlie, and then the left excused and
00:26:58.320
justified and celebrated Charlie's murder. And then the left got on its soapbox and yelled at the right
00:27:05.700
to bring down the temperature. That's where you didn't even hear the right say to the left,
00:27:11.120
which was celebrating Charlie's death, you didn't even hear the right say, hey,
00:27:14.320
we should bring down the temperature. It was the whole thing existed on the left.
00:27:19.760
The murder, the excuse, the justification, the celebration, and the scolding somehow. Somehow
00:27:25.540
the scolding also came from the left. And Jimmy Kimmel, you know, listen, right-wingers,
00:27:30.620
give me my show back or you're fake Christians. It all just came from the left. Bring the temperature
00:27:35.400
down. You understand we don't control the thermostat? Do you understand that?
00:27:38.780
I would keep the temperature at a balmy 69 degrees. You're the ones who are taking control
00:27:46.520
of the thermostat. We can't turn the temperature down while you are still defending and celebrating
00:27:52.900
the death of right-wingers, the killing of right-wingers, and calling for more violence.
00:27:59.180
You're blocking the thermostat. And then you have the temerity to yell at us to bring the temperature
00:28:05.560
down. We can't. In a battle, the other side has a say. And you guys are saying we won't.
00:28:14.820
It's true. It's true. It's like, it's like they're, they're taking our hands. They're smacking
00:28:19.660
our hands into our faces. They're saying, why are you, why are you hitting yourself? Why are you
00:28:22.400
hitting yourself? You're, you're the one doing it. If you want that to stop, you can stop it,
00:28:28.520
but they don't want it to stop. And that's the reality that we have to deal with. I don't know
00:28:32.660
if you're on TikTok. I'm, I'm not. Although I, did I, you know, I was reliably informed. I heard
00:28:37.420
this in the member block yesterday. I've been reliably informed by a number of my Zoomer
00:28:42.480
friends that there are Michael Knowles thirst traps going around on TikTok, which means obviously
00:28:47.520
these, these women on TikTok, these young women, and probably some homosexual men who are making
00:28:53.560
these are, they've got great taste. That's obviously with that. But I, I avoid TikTok, which
00:28:58.860
is why I avoid videos like this lady calling all of us fascists.
00:29:06.680
Hey, I know, let's play a game. The game is called, you know, you're a fascist when you
00:29:13.100
know, you're a fascist when you chant freedom while cheering for mass deportations without
00:29:18.700
due process. You know, you're a fascist when you think banning books and gutting universities
00:29:24.160
is saving America. You know, you're a fascist when you believe soldiers should be loyal to
00:29:30.520
a person, but not the constitution. You know, you're a fascist when you demand law and order
00:29:38.280
unless the law is investigating your favorite politicians. You know, you're a fascist when
00:29:43.740
you want to lock up opponents, but pardon your own criminals. You know, you're a fascist when
00:29:50.100
you think elections are rigged unless your guy wins. You know, you're a fascist when you
00:29:56.300
call yourself a patriot while rooting for a third term, like it's a third world dictatorship.
00:30:02.380
You know, you're a fascist when you call the press the enemy because they told the truth.
00:30:11.140
I wonder how much of the recent political shift, the shift to the right that gave Trump the popular
00:30:16.540
vote, the shift to the right that moved young voters 10 points in 2024. I wonder how much of
00:30:21.780
the shift owes to this woman, to this woman and everyone like her and all the people who use that
00:30:30.200
kind of tone of voice and that kind of argumentation. You're actually kind of, you know, you're actually
00:30:37.420
kind of a, we've had enough of that. That, that thing, whatever that thing is, that dominated
00:30:51.680
for like 20 years. I would say that in the classroom, in the workplace, that tone, that affect,
00:31:00.620
that condescension, that utterly ignorant condescension, totally fact-free, that dominated
00:31:07.580
throughout the public square for about 20 years. We've had enough of that. I love women. I adore
00:31:17.080
women. I really, I do. I don't have a misogynistic bone in my body. But ladies like that, they need to
00:31:23.500
get off TikTok. They need to stop, they need to stop commenting in the public square. They need to,
00:31:30.400
that someone needs to stop them from, for their own good, to stop that kind of discourse.
00:31:38.740
We're done with that. Especially because the semantic value of calling someone a fascist now
00:31:43.960
is a more extreme version of what it's always been. The, the, the reason that the left calls people
00:31:49.580
fascists, and especially Nazis, is to justify violence against them. If you had the opportunity
00:31:55.980
to stop Hitler, would you take it? The answer is supposed to be yes. And if you could stop Hitler,
00:32:03.740
but you, you had to use some immoral means, you had to, I don't know, commit murder, you had to do,
00:32:08.900
anything would be justified, right? Stopping Hitler could be accomplished by any means necessary
00:32:13.700
in the popular conception. So that's what it means. If, if you call someone a fascist, or especially
00:32:20.160
a Nazi, what it means is, hey, you can be killed, and it would be good if you were killed. That's always
00:32:26.480
what it has meant. Since the assassination of Charlie, that's quite explicitly what it means.
00:32:33.840
It's a direct tie-in. And we're not going to tolerate empty-headed people casually throwing this
00:32:40.900
around anymore. Because there are, there are immediate consequences to that now that are
00:32:45.940
extreme consequences. A lot depends upon it. And silly, frivolous people like that woman on TikTok
00:32:50.700
cannot be trusted with political power and authority. We need to get serious again.
00:32:56.840
It draws, it draws right back to what Pete was saying about the military. For a while, when we
00:33:01.560
didn't think we had many national threats, we were in kind of a silly season geopolitically.
00:33:06.320
Okay, we can, we can tolerate some trannies in the military. Why not? We'll just have some social
00:33:11.500
experiments. Okay. And yeah, we can all have a slumber party. And maybe the guys on the ship,
00:33:16.300
they can have a pillow fight or something. Yeah. Okay. Whatever. Now that, that geopolitics is really
00:33:22.960
heating up. Now that Russia is really doubling down in Ukraine, the war in Gaza has an ending yet.
00:33:29.240
China's licking its lips, looking at Taiwan. Now that like real stuff's happening, we're going after
00:33:34.500
the drug boats coming from Venezuela. Now that we, we got a silly season's over and we got to get
00:33:40.060
serious. And no, obviously we can't have transvestites in the military. That's ridiculous.
00:33:46.780
And yeah, no, we're not going to, if you're inciting violence against the right, you're going to,
00:33:50.340
you're going to lose your job and you're going to be kicked out of polite society and you might go
00:33:54.420
to jail. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. We should have let you know we're, it's serious again.
00:33:59.320
And your frivolity is, is done. Your frivolity at best. There's no more time for that.
00:34:06.960
Now, speaking of women on camera, the first ever AI actress to be signed by a talent agency
00:34:13.340
has come to Hollywood. This October, we are giving Daily Wire Plus members more than ever before,
00:34:19.980
including must-see new documentaries like USS Cole, Al-Qaeda strike before 9-11 premieres October 10th
00:34:26.140
exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. But I've got your first look right now.
00:34:31.020
Alawali told us Al-Qaeda is planning to attack a U.S. Navy ship as it's refueling in the port of
00:34:36.640
Haiti. There was a lot of warning out there to the ships. Did the Cole get that information? I can't
00:34:42.280
tell you. Bin Laden was getting very antsy. What could be next? I don't think we missed any specific
00:34:51.840
threats. It wasn't if it was going to happen. It was when the United States was going to be
00:34:56.120
attacked. They were walking into a trap. I saw a boat coming at us. They were close enough that I
00:35:02.040
could see them smiling and waving. Then the explosion happened. Two men in it was apparently
00:35:07.120
not seen as a threat. It may have been impossible to prevent. Osama bin Laden had essentially declared
00:35:12.600
war against the United States. Certainly emboldened Al-Qaeda. Why were we even operating in that port?
00:35:18.660
What was the intelligence community doing? No one connected all the dots until it was too late.
00:35:23.300
People in the U.S. didn't comprehend that there was an organization called Al-Qaeda. People living
00:35:29.220
in caves, basements who actively sought to kill Americans. I think our government certainly had
00:35:37.360
enough of the information to have done something. They were focused totally on us. No one was looking
00:35:42.080
up the chain of communities. We had an opportunity to disrupt what became 9-11.
00:35:46.320
USS Cole, Al-Qaeda's strike before 9-11. A three-part series premieres October 10th on Daily Wire Plus.
00:36:01.520
USS Cole, Al-Qaeda's strike before 9-11 premieres October 10th only on Daily Wire Plus. Not a member

00:36:22.260
My favorite comment yesterday is from Martin Gautier, 7377, who says,
00:36:27.740
there were no federal agents. Okay, there were a few of them. Not a big deal. Okay, there were many,
00:36:33.940
but it's a good thing. Yes, that January... Sorry. Excuse me. I don't have a physical standing
00:36:40.660
microphone here to lean into and say, January 6th! The worst day in the history of the world.
00:36:48.180
We were told about January 6th. We were told no feds involved. This was an insurrection by the
00:36:54.740
riot. It was all Trump's fault. Then we found out, actually, Nancy Pelosi's taking responsibility for
00:36:59.280
its banana control. And okay, maybe there were a few FBI agents. They were told, okay, maybe there were a
00:37:06.120
few dozen FBI agents. And now we're told there were about 250 of them. 250, 275. We're going to find
00:37:13.700
out. They're all, every one of them. The Midwestern granny. They're all going to be FBI agents. It's
00:37:18.440
going to be like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot. Remember that? We were told they're the right
00:37:23.080
wingers were trying to kidnap the Democrat governor of Michigan. Gretchen Whitmer... And then it found out
00:37:27.640
there were feds. They were just all feds egging each other on, other than maybe one guy. It was like
00:37:34.060
the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan at this point is all federal agents plus Billy Bob. There is one
00:37:41.700
guy. It's like Billy Bob is a member of the Klan and he, but all the other ones are federal agents.
00:37:47.780
That's what we're going to find out about. John! John! You were a sixth. Okay. Speaking of women on
00:37:54.160
camera, Tilly Norwood has taken over Hollywood. Tilly Norwood, she's young. She's hot. She's
00:38:03.560
energetic. And she is not a real person. She is AI. There's a talent agency promoting her in
00:38:11.820
Hollywood. The agency is claiming that Hollywood is really eager to work with it. I can't say her,
00:38:18.700
to work with it. Here she is. Take it away, Tilly.
00:38:21.040
Tilly. So you can see there's a big monster behind Tilly. Now she's on the... This is pretty amazing.
00:38:35.120
For those who are only listening, you have to see this later. The running is still a little bit weak.
00:38:40.700
But she looks pretty real in all these different settings. In the superhero movie,
00:38:44.520
in the old romance, in the drama, in the everything. She looks pretty good. The running is still a little
00:38:52.040
messed up. But other than that, you would believe this. And who knows? The headline could be sensational
00:39:01.520
that Hollywood can't wait to work with this person. A person. It's not a real person. But the broader
00:39:07.760
story is obviously true. There will be AI properties that come into fashion, that are in
00:39:15.920
vogue. They're in multiple movies. And that isn't all that surprising. So much of what we talk about
00:39:23.660
when we say, oh, the advent of AI or any new technology, we think of it as though it's some
00:39:27.220
totally foreign thing when really it's just the development of technologies that have been
00:39:32.160
developing for millennia. Even down to AI ruining our ability to think. People have been worrying
00:39:40.100
about this since Plato. People have been worrying about this since, what isn't it? The Phaedrus?
00:39:48.640
They've been worrying since there were books, since there were scrolls. Because the fear of the books
00:39:55.160
was that it would stop you from memorizing poems, epic poems and philosophy works.
00:40:02.160
Because now you could just look at it on paper. And then Google comes along and then AI comes along.
00:40:07.520
And it's all, you know, it's just a continuum. Well, same thing here. There's no difference
00:40:11.440
between Tilly Norwood and Mickey Mouse, right? Some agency can make up Tilly Norwood and Disney can
00:40:16.960
make up Mickey Mouse. And they're both just fictional properties. One just happens to look more like a
00:40:23.840
human than the other ones. But this is happening. And the reason this will happen is because,
00:40:28.560
as I was talking to a film producer friend of mine, AI reduces the cost of making a film
00:40:34.020
by an order of magnitude. I asked him, he's made a zillion films. I said,
00:40:38.140
what is the actual effect of AI on filmmaking? He said, take away a zero. That's the effect.
00:40:43.520
So, just to save money, they're going to be using this kind of AI. Also, actors are crazy. They're
00:40:51.080
crazy people. Actresses and actors, they're both crazy people and difficult to work with.
00:40:57.660
Tilly Norwood's not difficult to work with. Also, actors and actresses can only work on one project
00:41:04.280
at once. Even Morgan Freeman. You're the hardest working man in show business. But you can only do
00:41:09.780
one project at once. Tilly Norwood can make 10 movies a day or more. There's no limit.
00:41:16.420
Works as much as you want. Does whatever you want. You don't need to negotiate with Tilly
00:41:21.380
Norwood's agent. Well, you actually do to figure out if Tilly Norwood is going to show her breasts
00:41:26.680
or something on camera. You actually would need to negotiate with the person who owns the IP.
00:41:31.820
But you're not sitting there with an actress saying, oh, well, what's the limit? Are you going to do
00:41:38.160
your own stunts? So, you just does whatever you want. So, that's without question will happen.
00:41:44.280
Maybe it's good in the sense that it will impel fewer people to go become actors and actresses
00:41:48.640
themselves because it's not a particularly distinguished life. But that's going to happen
00:41:54.080
and that's going to further a social trend that you especially see with pornography.
00:41:58.640
But you see it with a lot of different internet subcultures, which is people spinning off more and
00:42:04.220
more into their own fantasy worlds. Less of a common culture and more niche tailored cultures for
00:42:13.420
the desires and maybe aberrations of every individual. Right now, Sidney Sweeney can make
00:42:20.740
two movies a year, whatever it is, three movies a year, and everyone will go see those movies.
00:42:26.040
Tilly Norwood can make a movie for you in 10 minutes and a different movie for your roommate
00:42:31.100
and a different movie for your neighbor. And so, what I see AI doing, and she, I guess,
00:42:38.380
is an example of that, is just further splitting off that common culture, which is a little tricky
00:42:43.460
because for us right now, and this brings us all the way back to the political violence question,
00:42:47.620
for us right now, the political challenge is re-establishing a common culture, at least a
00:42:55.820
common culture, a common language. This is one of the issues with immigration. We don't even speak
00:42:59.440
the same language anymore. Common standards, common norms. We don't respect the same taboos.
00:43:04.800
We don't recognize the same moral system. All the stuff that the founders and framers and all the
00:43:09.260
statesmen ever have said that we need, we don't recognize that. That's part of why it's so shocking
00:43:12.860
that normie mainstream people on the left excused and even celebrated Charlie's murder.
00:43:18.600
is we saw that. We see the Gavin Newsom Twitter account. We see the talking heads on MSNBC.
00:43:25.980
We see that and we say, oh man, shoot, you and I have nothing in common. Wow, you're my neighbor,
00:43:32.600
you're my coworker, you're my cousin, but you and I have nothing in common. We don't even,
00:43:36.640
we can't even agree that murder is bad. So we've got this common culture frame, which is just a
00:43:42.620
broader, squishier way of talking about the fact that we no longer recognize a common good.
00:43:47.580
And this has been ideologically advanced on both the left and the right. The left, which doubts the
00:43:54.240
existence of good, period, says your good might not be my good and we all have our own goods and all
00:43:59.280
that matters is maximizing our individual autonomy. And then the right, because it's been infused with
00:44:04.960
so much libertarianism saying, well, we're skeptical of this phrase common good, because if we recognize
00:44:10.040
a common good, next up, we're going to end up communist. Next up, we're going to give all of
00:44:15.460
our money to the state. Next up, we're going to, I don't know, we're going to be marched off to the
00:44:19.520
prison camp or something. No, no, we also will only pursue our private interest. And as a consequence,
00:44:25.160
the culture just totally frays away. I'll show you an example of this, what this does to a culture.
00:44:31.700
In Dearborn, Michigan, the Dearborn city council just heard out a resident complaining that this
00:44:40.520
increasingly Muslim town is blaring the Muslim prayers from the loudspeakers at 5 30 in the
00:44:47.800
morning. And it's against city regulations and it's waking people up and it's weird because it's
00:44:52.960
supposed to be America. Here's what she has to say. Guess what the city does?
00:44:57.480
But the mosque in East Dearborn are now at times waking us up at 5 30 in the morning
00:45:04.160
with a call to prayer. This is Dearborn resident Andrea Unger at last night city council meeting
00:45:09.400
stating that mosque using outdoor loudspeakers for their call to prayer should not be allowed
00:45:14.240
and says she believes it's not supposed to be allowed per city ordinance. The noise complaints
00:45:21.500
have been made out and the police have made numerous visits. What is the next step? There was some
00:45:26.940
question whether or not any outdoor loudspeakers are allowed. Something that was not clarified only
00:45:32.400
that more evidence is being gathered. But CBS Detroit did examine Dearborn's noise ordinance and
00:45:37.660
founded loudspeakers between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. are in violation of the order.
00:45:43.620
Okay so this is the CBS clip here local CBS clip. They're saying you know the Dearborn council said
00:45:52.160
more investigation is needed but we looked into it and it's obvious that the loudspeakers are not
00:45:57.260
permitted at least before 7 a.m. Yeah yeah I think they know that. I think they know that and they
00:46:02.880
don't care. This following uh the Dearborn mayor telling that resident that ordinary resident say yeah
00:46:09.420
we don't like you we don't want you here you're not welcome in your own town anymore we took over it's
00:46:13.300
our town now. Those Muslims in Dearborn Michigan they have a conception of the common good.
00:46:21.860
I think they're mistaken about a lot of things but they have a conception of a political society.
00:46:28.140
They have a conception of a common good. They understand what community is. You don't.
00:46:32.500
I'm not pointing fingers at you if you're listening to this show probably do. But Americans broadly
00:46:38.480
don't. And when it's a political community with a strong sense of identity and a shared conception
00:46:47.240
of the common good. When you have that versus a bunch of alienated isolated individuals who used
00:46:54.500
to have a country together but now don't really seem to share much of anything. Guess which side is
00:46:59.520
going to win. It's not even close. And those those residents are gonna be told get out. It's not your
00:47:05.240
town anymore. Shut up. We're playing our prayer of the loudspeaker. It our prayer is not your prayer.
00:47:10.400
It's not the prayer of the religion that built our whole country. Yeah too bad. It's ours now.
00:47:16.180
Which is why when we if we want to preserve our freedom or liberty we have to stop thinking in this
00:47:22.860
shallow sophomoric way of of a purely individualist kind of liberty. Often licentiousness is really
00:47:30.840
what they mean by it. And we need to think of the more exalted political liberty. The liberty to have
00:47:38.040
a country. The liberty to have functioning cities. The liberty to have a community. To be able to
00:47:43.940
establish families. To flourish. That that exalted and ordered liberty is the only way that we're
00:47:53.880
going to be able to resist our our adversaries our enemies our rivals the people who want to
00:47:58.920
supplant us. That's the only way you can do it. And that's the one conception that the left and even
00:48:04.740
still to some degree the right just doesn't doesn't seem to get. Okay today is on a chipper note
