After winning an election driven largely by discontent over mass migration,
00:00:05.180
the Trump administration is coming out in full force to defend H-1B visas and more legal migration.
00:00:12.820
The right is up in arms, understandably so, but everyone is missing a crucial little secret
00:00:18.800
that shows us what is really going on. And I will give you that secret.
00:00:22.640
I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000
Welcome back to the show. Michelle Obama has just given a lecture on how her black beauty
00:00:49.340
is so powerful that you need to be educated about it. So we're going to get that education. We're
00:00:56.040
going to learn. We're going to sit our, when Michelle Obama speaks, we're going to sit
00:00:59.600
ourselves down and listen. Okay. First though, I want to tell you about Policy Genius.
00:01:04.860
Go to policygenius.com slash Knowles. We all know that costs have been all over the place. Groceries,
00:01:11.600
gas, subscriptions, you name it. It is no surprise that we tend to assume everything is more expensive
00:01:16.620
than it actually is. Case in point, 72% of Americans overestimate what life insurance costs.
00:01:21.260
Turns out it might be more affordable than you think. Policy Genius makes finding and buying
00:01:25.920
life insurance fast, easy, and surprisingly affordable. So if something happens to you,

00:02:29.140
I'll give them to you in his own words. These are comments made to Laura Ingram.
00:02:34.760
Publicans have to talk about it. And does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big
00:02:39.640
priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers,
00:02:43.440
you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.
00:02:47.900
I agree, but you also do have to bring in talent.
00:02:50.620
Well, we have plenty of talented people here. No, you don't. No, you don't.
00:02:53.040
We don't have talented people here. No, you don't have certain talents and people have to learn.
00:02:58.540
You can't take people off an unemployment line and say,
00:03:02.620
I'm going to put you into a factory or we're going to make missiles.
00:03:05.080
Okay, people really don't like this for two reasons. One, because just the way the soundbite
00:03:13.180
falls, it sounds like President Trump is saying that Americans aren't talented. Now, I think the
00:03:17.260
guy has enough grace on the issue over the last 10 years to know that he thinks Americans are very
00:03:21.840
talented and he hugs the American flag and he's got more popular appeal than any president,
00:03:26.760
probably in my lifetime, certainly in, I don't know, 20, 25 years. He clarifies what he means. He says,
00:03:32.900
you don't have talent in certain areas or you don't have enough talent in certain areas.
00:03:37.040
And he goes on in the interview to explain which. So that's one reason people are miffed. I get it.
00:03:42.480
They're really irritated, though, on the issue itself because I think a lot of people want to
00:03:47.680
reduce all migration. The movement of people into the United States over the last 70 years
00:03:51.960
is the largest movement of people in recorded history. So a lot of people are saying, no,
00:03:57.200
hold on, wait, we didn't vote to get more migrants coming into this country. Why are you
00:04:02.040
doubling down on the H-1B visa issue? So was this just a gaffe? Was this just the president
00:04:07.520
kind of speaking off the top of his head, maybe not totally getting the policy exactly right?
00:04:12.860
Secretary of DHS, Kristi Noem, goes on Fox News and doubles down.
00:04:18.920
What is the administration's position on these visas?
00:04:24.100
We're going to keep using our visa programs. We're just going to make sure that they have integrity,
00:04:28.120
that we're actually doing the vetting of the individuals who come into this country,
00:04:32.060
that they want to be here for the right reasons, that they're not supporters of terrorists
00:04:35.760
and organizations that hate America. And that's what I think is so remarkable is under the Trump
00:04:40.780
administration, we've sped up our process and added integrity to the visa programs,
00:04:45.600
to green cards, to all of that. But also, more people are becoming naturalized under this
00:04:50.780
administration than ever before. More people are becoming citizens because we're not just
00:04:56.040
streamlining and building some processes back into our immigration policies. We're also
00:05:01.520
making sure that these individuals that are coming into our country and get
00:05:05.020
that privilege, that they actually are here for the right reasons. The Biden administration let
00:05:09.640
thousands of terrorists into this country. They opened the southern border, they abused our asylum
00:05:15.140
programs, abused our protective programs and visa programs, and we fixed all of it. It's remarkable
00:05:20.660
what President Trump has done, and it's because he's a great leader, he's a visionary,
00:05:23.840
and this man is going to go down as a legend in history as our greatest president ever.
00:05:30.780
Okay, so no ambiguity about this at all. She says there at the end,
00:05:34.380
we are naturalizing more people than have ever been naturalized before. We're bringing in more
00:05:39.580
legal immigrants than have ever been brought in before. And in the first part, she says,
00:05:44.760
look, we're going to keep using our visa program. I think most people would agree with that.
00:05:48.000
Says we just need it to have integrity. But there are two ways that a visa program cannot have
00:05:52.200
integrity. The one way is what she's talking about, which is when you let in a bunch of people who
00:05:56.360
hate your country, who are terrorists, who are dangerous. Obviously, you don't want those guys
00:06:00.280
in. But the other way that a visa program can lack integrity is if it's not being used for what it's
00:06:06.640
supposed to be used for. The purpose of these various visa programs is to bring people into the
00:06:12.480
United States who have skills that are hard to find in the United States. You can't find an American
00:06:17.860
to do the job. So you got to go bring someone in from elsewhere or who have some, who have some
00:06:22.080
quality that would benefit our country that we don't presently have. And she doesn't really address
00:06:27.300
that part. She doesn't address whether or not there are Americans who can fill these jobs.
00:06:31.840
She's just saying, look, we're going to make sure they're not terrorists and we're going to
00:06:34.460
naturalize more people than ever. So I think for a lot of people like me, who think that we just
00:06:39.940
simply have too much migration, who want to drastically reduce all migration, who don't have anything
00:06:46.220
against the migrants in particular. I'm sure some of them are very nice people, but we just have too
00:06:50.060
many. Sometimes in American history, you need more migration. Sometimes you need a lot less.
00:06:53.720
We're in one of the a lot less periods right now. For people like me, you listen to this and you say,
00:06:58.160
oh, yikes, this is bad. This is not what I voted for. Now, there are plenty of people for whom this is
00:07:03.500
exactly what they voted for. There are a lot of people who say, look, I want to stop illegal
00:07:08.460
immigration, but I want more legal immigration. There are a lot of people. That's kind of like the
00:07:14.380
boomer conservative point of view. That's that was the dogma in the Republican Party for a long
00:07:19.040
time. But especially younger conservatives, more, more right wing conservatives, we say, no, it's
00:07:25.100
just we have too much migration. We need to reduce it. We're losing social solidarity. There's strains
00:07:29.600
on the welfare system. Crime is going up. I have to press three for English. I don't want it. I don't
00:07:34.500
want it. So are we all doomers here? No. The doomerism is not justified because of one dirty little
00:07:42.880
secret. One actually beautiful little secret. Here it is. This is from the White House website,
00:07:48.180
but it's backed up by reporting even from liberal journalists who are very upset about this fact.
00:07:56.060
We are on track to have net negative migration into the United States this year. Net negative
00:08:04.220
migration for the first time in half a century. So that's the that's the dirty little secret.
00:08:10.820
And it's it doesn't mean that the president is lying. Certainly doesn't mean that Kristi
00:08:16.120
Noem is is lying. They might be bringing in more legal immigrants than ever before. They might be
00:08:22.340
naturalizing more people than ever before. But they're deporting so many people. So many people
00:08:28.440
are self-deporting that you're seeing net negative migration for the first time in half a century.
00:08:33.760
This is and who knows, we're still we're still in November. It's still, you know, a month or two to
00:08:37.940
figure out if we actually hit that number. But that would be the greatest achievement for
00:08:44.220
immigration restrictionists since the 1960s. That is a major, major win. And I wondered I was
00:08:52.060
talking to friends about this during the campaign when President Trump, even in 2024, was doubling down
00:08:56.760
on illegal immigration, bad legal immigration, good. I thought, why is he saying that? I don't you know,
00:09:02.080
I think people are just fed up with all the mass migration. Friend of mine pointed out that might
00:09:06.780
just be the most politically salient way to to do it. There are gonna be a lot of people who when you say
00:09:12.080
you want fewer migrants generally, they're, they're just going to conclude you're a racist,
00:09:16.880
you're a thisist, you're a thatist. And they're you're going to turn off those more independent
00:09:20.440
centrist voters. So that's okay. Maybe tactically, that makes sense. There are other reasons too.
00:09:25.740
Maybe it's because some of the donors, many of the donors to both parties want more migration,
00:09:31.080
because they think that it will benefit their companies. Maybe they have some patriotic feeling
00:09:34.840
they think it'll benefit the economy generally. But in any case, you know, President Trump is trying
00:09:39.660
to maintain a coalition, balance a lot of different powers that have interests in the government of
00:09:43.760
the United States. If the net effect of that is that we have net negative migration for the first
00:09:49.880
time in 50 years. And the administration goes on TV and says, we love legal immigrants. And that's it.
00:09:56.080
That's what it comes. But the net effect is, we are net negative migration. Sign me up, man. I love
00:10:01.840
that. We are supposed to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. I think it works out well.
00:10:08.080
And speaking of some of those donors, speaking of some of those industries,
00:10:11.940
is a little bit of a terrifying headline out of the Wall Street Journal. It was just a couple days
00:10:15.860
ago. The AI boom is looking more and more fragile. AI stocks have swung downward as doubt rises about
00:10:23.080
sustainability and payoff. So a lot of the arguments for H-1Bs and bringing in these immigrants with
00:10:29.840
highly specialized technical skills is to serve the defense industry, sure, but also to serve Silicon
00:10:35.260
Valley. And you might not like Silicon Valley. Some people in Silicon Valley have been pretty
00:10:40.640
good recently and they moved a little bit to the right. And frankly, it's a Silicon Valley guy,
00:10:44.080
Elon Musk, who is probably responsible for the Trump victory because he bought X and freed up a
00:10:49.740
medium for conservatives to have to say. In any case, it is simply an economic fact. Silicon Valley
00:10:56.820
is propping up our whole economy right now. The stocks that are propping up the market are the
00:11:01.840
MAG-7. These big tech stocks, AI in particular, people are pouring money into AI. So if Silicon
00:11:09.740
Valley fails, the economy is going into the gutter that is going to destroy Republicans in the midterms
00:11:16.260
that very well could destroy J.D. Vance in 2028 or whoever the Republican nominee is, probably it's
00:11:21.400
going to be J.D. Vance. I know we love to focus on the Republican civil war. There's a Republican
00:11:28.140
civil war over neoconservatism and post-liberalism and Israel and social issues and this and that.
00:11:36.580
Sure, there is. I gave a speech on this last night. Actually, if you want my complete unvarnished take
00:11:41.760
on the so-called Republican right-wing civil war, I gave that speech at Belmont Abbey. We'll try to
00:11:46.440
get it up on the YouTube channel and Daily Wire and elsewhere. You get it there. Let me tell you
00:11:51.660
something. Silicon Valley failing would be much more calamitous for the Republican Party and the
00:11:58.740
conservative movement than any kind of civil wars or tweets or live streams or whatever.
00:12:04.480
And so I get it. Trump is trying to balance all of these things.
00:12:09.800
I'm pretty good with this effect. If we get, okay, we get some more tech workers, we get some whatever.
00:12:15.180
Net migration goes down. We keep up that trend. We fix the horrific migration problem. We keep the
00:12:22.580
stock market ticking along as best we can. We keep the economy going. That's not bad. It seems
00:12:28.280
actually pretty smart. Now, speaking of intelligence, John Fetterman, the one, I guess, quasi-blue dog,
00:12:34.740
moderate Democrat in the Senate, he just went on CNN and dropped some facts about the nastiness of the
00:12:40.820
two political parties, about where the vitriol and the hatred in this country is really coming from.
00:12:45.280
We'll get to that in one second. First, I want to tell you about NeuroGum. Go to NeuroGum.com,

00:14:07.180
Choose smarter, not harder. Who's meaner, the right or the left? Who's meaner? If you listen
00:14:14.360
to the establishment media, they'll tell you that Republicans are hateful and fascists and
00:14:17.800
authoritarians and genocidal and whatever. If you look at social scientific data, you notice that the
00:14:23.700
left is meaner. The left is more likely to unfollow people on social media, to disown family over
00:14:29.660
politics, to justify political violence, to celebrate political violence. There's no question.
00:14:33.980
It's not even close. Here's John Fetterman, a member in good standing of the Democrat Party,
00:14:39.540
U.S. Senator, goes on CNN, the left-wing news channel, to drop some facts.
00:14:46.200
You said, quote, I've drunk deeply of the venom of both the left and the right. As a connoisseur,
00:14:53.180
I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest, is from the far left. That is pretty
00:15:00.220
remarkable to hear you say that as an elected Democrat. Why?
00:15:06.680
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. You know, it's been it's just been my personal experience on this thing.
00:15:14.400
And when I asked my digital team, I said, you know, you're we're on all the platforms. You know,
00:15:19.640
really, what's what's kind of the harshest? What's kind of the most personal? And the answer was
00:15:24.340
immediate. He said, oh, blue sky. It's blue sky. And the difference is, I mean, the right would say
00:15:30.580
really rough things and names. You know, some names I won't I won't repeat on on TV. But but but the
00:15:37.080
on the left, it was like they want me to die or that we're cheering for your next stroke or that's
00:15:43.720
terrible. That depression. Why couldn't it depression one? And I hope your kids find you.
00:15:50.720
Uh, I mean, um, they even have like the graphic
00:15:54.160
a gif there. They have a stroke, you know, you know, in your head.
00:16:02.020
There's no surprise here whatsoever. You know, there are people on the right who make all sorts
00:16:07.580
of nasty jokes about politicians, of course. And it happens as politics. However, do you ever see
00:16:15.480
Republicans coming out just wishing death upon their enemies? You really don't see that.
00:16:19.640
And you see that all the time from the left. You see that from normies on the left.
00:16:24.520
And there are all sorts of cultural and religious reasons for that. The fact that they're kind of
00:16:28.300
nihilists or materialists and they deny the existence of a transcendent moral order and and so on and so
00:16:33.240
forth. But they do that. And that that radicalized John Fetterman. It radicalized. There's no question
00:16:40.380
about it. And we should never underestimate the persuasiveness of like just being charitable.
00:16:49.580
It's good to be charitable because, you know, if you don't have charity, you don't have anything.
00:16:52.880
But also it's persuasive in politics. It's so funny because the left, they love the word kind.
00:17:01.720
Have you noticed that? They love the word kind. They put kind over there. They said, be kind.
00:17:05.580
I love kind. We want it. We have to be kind. I don't know why it became a meme, but they all talk
00:17:10.920
about being kind and kindness all the time. And yet in the aggregate, statistically, they wish death
00:17:19.920
upon stroke victims of their own party. And that kind of radicalized him. Had the Democrats been nicer
00:17:29.300
to John Fetterman. Would he be going on these tours, subverting their party interests? Would he
00:17:35.060
be siding with seven of his colleagues to end the government shutdown and prove that the Democrats own
00:17:39.080
the shutdown and that they're useless? I don't know. People used to say in the first Trump term,
00:17:44.180
they said, you know, if only Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi had been nice to Trump, he might have
00:17:48.540
worked with them. But they had to call him a fascist and try to undermine him every step of the way and
00:17:52.680
really go after him in a vitriolic way. And so he destroyed them. He destroyed their party. He
00:17:56.700
destroyed their party. He destroyed their agenda. He survived all of their attempts on him, political
00:18:01.660
and otherwise. Not to be underestimated. You know, I have a friend who says that facts don't care about
00:18:09.460
your feelings, which is fair enough, you know, in as much as that's accurate. But you know what? You
00:18:14.360
know what cares about your feelings a lot? Politics. Politics cares a lot about your feelings. And if we
00:18:19.820
can win over a Democrat senator substantially, imagine what we can do to regular voters, to people who are
00:18:25.260
not partisans, to who are not super party political. You want to see a good example of this? Just a brief
00:18:31.960
little clip here. This was going viral on TikTok the other day. It's the Osborne family, Sharon Osborne,
00:18:38.280
you know, all the kids, Ozzy Osborne's family, playing a voicemail that they received from President Trump.
00:18:45.640
I mean, should we, should we play the voicemail?
00:18:51.340
Not saying who it's from. Everyone, everyone will know.
00:18:55.820
Hi, Sharon. It's Donald Trump. And I just wanted to wish you the best and the family.
00:19:04.520
Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy. I met him a few times. And I want to tell you,
00:19:09.840
he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best. And it's a tough
00:19:15.820
thing. I know how close you were. And whatever I can do, take care of yourself. Say hello to the
00:19:24.520
Love him or hate him, he didn't have to call and leave a voicemail.
00:19:29.840
Listen, when it comes to politics, we know nobody comes out a winner.
00:19:36.180
This is great. I love this, this voicemail so much. I love this voicemail so much because
00:19:43.760
he didn't have to do it. You can tell the Osborne family they're trying to thread a political needle
00:19:47.760
and not seem like they're coming down on one side or the other. But obviously the choice to play the
00:19:51.200
voicemail is showing their gratitude for this. And what I love about the voicemail is it's personal.
00:19:58.060
You can recognize it just like Jack Osborne says, you know, you know who it is. You don't need to
00:20:02.040
intro it. You can tell it's Trump, but it's not performative in any way.
00:20:06.720
One, he took the time to do it because he met this guy a few times. This wasn't, he didn't blare
00:20:11.760
this out. It wasn't out there, you know, like giving long speeches about us. He just gives a
00:20:16.300
phone call to the family and it's pretty subdued. Just, hey, hey, I saw the news. He's great. He was
00:20:22.120
great. I really liked him. Met him a few times. So sorry for your family. Anyway, okay. All right. Bye.
00:20:27.360
It was it. It was not over the top. I, he was this amazing human being and America will never be the
00:20:35.980
same. What he wasn't giving some artificial stump speech, like plenty of politicians would do in
00:20:40.360
that situation. He wasn't promoting himself. Sometimes people accuse Trump because, because
00:20:44.900
he gives a lot of stump speeches, they accuse him. He's always promoting himself. Look, Ozzy,
00:20:48.520
we love Ozzy. We love, and you know who Ozzy loved me. He loved me and he loved my policies and
00:20:52.660
he loved my God, of course. It wasn't that at all. Just, hey, hey, it's done. It's just a guy. Hey,
00:20:58.000
it's just Donald. Hey, it's Donald. I knew, yeah, you know, I knew Ozzy a little bit. He was
00:21:01.520
great. Really, he was a great guy. So anyway, you know, my heart goes out to you. Talk to you. Bye.
00:21:06.020
You don't have to call me back. Whatever. Bye. It's great. That personal touch that connects.
00:21:10.560
People still wonder, how does this billionaire from New York, big TV star, real estate mogul,
00:21:15.680
guy who's flown around on a 747 for 40 years, you know, how does this guy have a relation to the
00:21:21.020
common man? It's that. It's these intangibles. It's these, these things that are barely perceptible.
00:21:25.700
It's just little movements of the face, little ways you talk, little tiny things you do that'll,
00:21:29.180
most of which will go unnoticed. That's, that's how you do it. That's, that's how you win John
00:21:33.720
Fetterman over as far as I'm concerned. Okay. Speaking of beautiful things, a beautiful voicemail,
00:21:38.720
Michelle Obama wants you to know how powerfully beautiful she is. And because some of you don't
00:21:46.120
know that she is going to educate you about it. And we have to start educating people about all kinds
00:21:54.160
of beauty. Yes. And our beauty is so powerful and so unique that it is, that it is worthy of a
00:22:03.840
conversation and it's worthy of demanding the respect that we're owed for who we are and what
00:22:13.940
I am so hot. I'm sexy and people don't realize that. And I'm uniquely sexy. She actually says so
00:22:24.940
unique, which is, this is a digression, but it's pedantic, but you can't, something can't be so
00:22:32.640
unique. Something can't, people say, oh, it's a very unique. Something can't be very unique. Unique
00:22:37.640
means one of a kind. It either is one of a kind or is not one of, it's one of many, but it can't be.
00:22:42.860
So please, Michelle Obama. Okay. That's the least of it. She says black beauty is unique,
00:22:51.820
uniquely powerful, and people need to be educated about this. And here I'm really doubting her grasp
00:22:58.360
of the English language, because if something is powerful, it does not require you to educate people,
00:23:07.200
to, to induct you into the secret mysteries of it. If a thing has power in itself, then it imposes
00:23:12.640
itself on others. You don't need someone to persuade you of it exactly. But this is about a lot more
00:23:20.520
than how hot Michelle Obama is. Okay. This actually gets down to, I think, the heart of liberalism and
00:23:27.440
modern leftism, which ultimately is Gnostic. We'll get to that in one second. First, though, I want to
00:23:33.080
tell you about Ave Maria Mutual Funds. Go to AveMariaFunds.com slash Michael. I love Ave Maria

00:24:53.020
Distributors, LLC. Michelle Obama comes at you and goes,
00:24:56.280
black beauty is so powerful, and we need to educate everyone about it.
00:25:00.700
That is Gnostic racism. That is to say, that is to say, look, there's this special power of black
00:25:09.100
beauty, but you have not been inducted into the special mystery cult. So let me do that to you.
00:25:14.760
And frankly, that's what a lot of our modern education is. It's just libs inducting people
00:25:20.100
into their weird mystery cults. Certainly that's what transgenderism is. That's probably the clearest
00:25:24.780
example of Gnostic leftism. To say, oh, you think he's a man, but actually, secretly, he's a woman.
00:25:31.800
Let me induct you into the mystery cult in all the ways. Oh, actually, you don't understand.
00:25:36.920
Michelle Obama is the hottest chick on earth. You think Sidney Sweeney's hot? No. Michelle Obama
00:25:42.200
is secretly the hottest chick in the world. Let me induct you into my mystery. There's this Gnostic
00:25:47.500
element to liberalism. And I guess the opposite of it would be, certainly would be traditional
00:25:54.520
politics, traditional religion, especially. We're talking about cults. And I think the clearest
00:25:59.180
opposite would be the Catholic Church. Say whatever you will about the Catholic Church. It is not Gnostic.
00:26:05.740
And in fact, the Catholic Church extirpated a lot of Gnosticism in antiquity and the Middle Ages. And I
00:26:10.880
suppose it has to continue to do that today. You walk into a Catholic Church, there's not a lot of
00:26:16.040
secrets. It's all kind of out there. The smells and the bells and the colors and the garments. And
00:26:22.700
it's public. Big cathedrals, not secret little hiding places underground, unless the political
00:26:29.480
authority forces you into the catacombs. It's all out there. It's big. It's available to everyone.
00:26:35.800
You don't become a 33rd degree Catholic. You have to do that in Freemasonry. You don't have to do that
00:26:40.220
in Catholicism. It's all there. It's open. It's available. This is why I've mentioned why
00:26:46.680
Tocqueville predicted America would become Catholic. This is actually the reason. Because
00:26:50.440
he says that it's the most amenable to democracy. Because if people are going to subject themselves
00:26:55.440
to a religious authority, they want it to be uniform. Same for everyone. There aren't really
00:27:00.600
more advanced elite Catholics and, I don't know, hoi polloi Catholics. Everyone's just a Catholic.
00:27:07.780
And you will be judged. And the first will be last, and the last will be first.
00:27:12.860
So whatever you think about Michelle Obama's supposed hotness, this is a much deeper problem
00:27:20.080
for the left. And I think it's why they're losing ground. I think it's why common sense
00:27:23.180
knocks down a lot of leftism. Because you can just say, like to the Gnostic transgender thing,
00:27:28.220
you can just say, this man is really a woman. We've undergone the ritual of transition. And now
00:27:38.820
he's, we've undergone the ritual of coming out day. And now he's a woman. And you can just say,
00:27:43.680
like, no, he's not. No, he's not. So it's not to say, look, maybe Michelle Obama is a perfectly fine
00:27:52.140
looking woman. I'm not. Please don't clip this as I may. I'm not in any way insulting Michelle Obama's
00:27:56.940
looks. But this notion that black people are the most especially beautiful people and other people
00:28:04.360
are not. And actually, you need to be inducted into the great sexiness of Michelle Obama. It's
00:28:10.400
so ridiculous. It's so totally ridiculous. And I think it's lost a lot of currency. Now, speaking of
00:28:16.220
race, there's a big problem. Have you heard of the big problem? It's in podcasting. You're watching
00:28:23.540
or listening to a podcast right now. You know, the big problem is that most podcasters are white guys.
00:28:32.020
That's a big problem. We got to solve it. We need a task force. Got to stop all these white guys from
00:28:38.080
podcasting. I've said it for years, though. I've said it. Actually, I got this from Sweet Little Elisa.
00:28:42.620
Sweet Little Elisa pointed out. She goes, Mac, how come like every single white guy under the age of
00:28:47.480
70 has a podcast? You know what we need is more podcasts, Mac. It's true. There are so many
00:28:52.480
podcasts. Well, now we have numbers to back it up. This is from The Wrap. Podcasting's diversity
00:28:58.180
problem. 64% of hosts are male. 77% are white. USC study finds. The podcasting medium significantly
00:29:09.760
trails the diversity. This is some great defect. It's like white guys have their own shows on their
00:29:16.420
own platforms. And this is like a major defect. They trail the diversity of other entertainment
00:29:21.600
avenues. So what do we know about podcasts? We know two things. One is that there are a ton of
00:29:29.720
white guys in it, disproportionate number of white guys in it. And two, it's the least regulated
00:29:34.900
broadcast medium in existence. What are we to conclude from those two facts? Yes, it's mostly
00:29:45.740
white guys. Also, it's the least regulated, most open to market demands, freest. Perhaps that would
00:29:56.460
suggest that the imposition of diversity, racial, sexual, whatever, in broadcast is artificial,
00:30:07.300
is the product of social engineering, is a political program rammed down the throats of listeners
00:30:14.400
who actually, they don't exclusively want white guys to broadcast to them. Quarter of them are not
00:30:21.220
white. Look, there's a country that's still 60% white, so it's not that far. Okay, quarter of them
00:30:25.560
are not white. And, you know, 40, sorry, 36% are women. So okay, it's not 50-50, so it's not, but
00:30:35.140
they, the audiences do want white guys a little bit more to be podcast. I don't know what it is
00:30:42.900
about white guys. I am a white guy. I'm a plausibly white guy. And I don't know, I don't know what it
00:30:48.380
is about us. I don't know what it is. I'm not a geneticist. I'm not a phrenologist. I don't know
00:31:03.600
what it is. But you don't hear about the NBA's diversity problem, do you? You don't hear about,
00:31:11.460
I don't know, elementary school teachers' diversity problem, you know, too many women
00:31:15.940
or something. No. Maybe it's the case that, you know, black guys are much better than other races
00:31:25.380
and women at basketball, maybe. Maybe women are much better than men at, I don't know,
00:31:32.880
nursing or at caring for people or nurturing or early education or what. And maybe white guys,
00:31:41.480
maybe we finally found our niche, you know. Maybe we were made for podcasting. That's certainly what
00:31:49.320
the market says. It makes you wonder. You say, why is there this matter of social engineering
00:31:55.440
clearly imposed from the top down that probably discriminates against white guys in other broadcast
00:32:02.620
media? Why is that? It's weird. Speaking of white guys, JFK's grandson, Jack Schlossberg,
00:32:10.620
is running for Congress in New York. We don't have enough Kennedys in the government. Well,
00:32:14.700
we do have one great Kennedy in the government, Bobby Kennedy. But we don't have any Kennedys in
00:32:19.160
Congress. It's weird. I remember when the last Kennedy left Congress. It was bizarre because
00:32:22.220
it was the first time in decades you didn't have a Kennedy there. Jack Schlossberg wants to take over
00:32:28.400
the Kennedy legacy. And so he goes on MSNBC to announce his run and to smack down his cousin,
00:32:38.400
RFK Jr. Caged one and put it in his cabinet, a rabid dog in his cabinet, put a collar on my cousin,
00:32:47.980
RFK Jr. and has him there barking, spreading lies and spreading misinformation.
00:32:54.420
You were the first member of your family to come out and criticize him publicly. What do you say to
00:32:59.580
voters who now see the Kennedy name and associate it with your cousin's policies?
00:33:04.420
I don't think there's anything anyone can do to change what JFK, my grandparents, my mom,
00:33:09.820
my uncle John stood for. Nobody is that powerful. But RFK Jr. is a dangerous person who has making
00:33:17.460
life and death decisions as Secretary of Health and Human Services. And you don't just have to
00:33:22.640
take my word for it. Now we have an actual record to go on. He has cut a quarter of the people who
00:33:27.880
work in his agency. He fired all the vaccine experts on the panel and replaced them with anti-vaxxers.
00:33:32.820
He's cutting funding for life-saving research, cancer patients giving them their last hope.
00:33:40.100
Okay, so he just right out the gate, he says there's this rabid dog in the administration,
00:33:45.180
my cousin, RFK Jr. This is nasty. This is ugly. People don't like to see family members wage
00:33:52.500
attacks on each other this way. They certainly don't like to see young family members attack their
00:33:56.840
older relatives. Like this nasty, ugly stuff. But it's an interesting attack. I bet it was focus
00:34:03.760
grouped. I bet that isn't the first time he's waged it. Because he's trying to paint the Secretary
00:34:08.860
of Health and Human Services as being sick and diseased. Rabid. He's a rabid dog. So it's actually
00:34:14.140
a pretty clever attack. But it's ugly. It's really, really ugly. Because it raises this question.
00:34:20.940
If this is what he thinks of his somewhat moderate Democrat cousin, what does he think about the
00:34:26.800
rest of us? What does he think about conservatives, Republicans? How can you be a patriot if you
00:34:34.060
treat your family this way? Patriotism is just an extension of love of your family. How can anyone
00:34:39.200
be a patriot if he would treat his own family this way? You know, I actually went to college with Jack.
00:34:44.960
I didn't really know him. Maybe I met him once or twice. I don't want to tell any tales out of school.
00:34:51.040
I don't want to make any personal observations or anything like that. From just judging by this
00:34:58.100
clip, how could you vote for this guy? I don't know. Maybe he's going to, this is his first time
00:35:07.780
running for office. He's clearly tried to run for office for a while. He's been in magazines and
00:35:12.760
things like that. But he's a Kennedy. You basically have to run for office. How could someone think
00:35:19.520
that you could be a patriot if you're so nasty to your own family? And then the question is, well,
00:35:26.300
do you think Bobby Kennedy is destroying the Kennedy family legacy? And what does he say? He says,
00:35:29.980
no one, no force is powerful enough, except for maybe black female beauty, to take, oh, no,
00:35:36.500
he didn't say that. He didn't go to Michelle Obama. He's, no force is powerful enough to destroy what
00:35:43.300
my grandfather stood for. Can I just, I don't, what did John F. Kennedy stand for? And it even goes
00:35:53.260
on his other family members. What did they, what do you mean what they stood for? What did the,
00:35:58.060
what did John F. Kennedy stand for? He stood for stealing votes in Illinois and Texas and taking the
00:36:03.640
election away from Richard Nixon. That's no, no, allegedly, allegedly. But what did he stand for?
00:36:11.420
He's a, he was a young president who got murdered. That's why people like him.
00:36:15.120
Because it was sad when he got murdered and he was young and he was relatively good looking.
00:36:18.680
In as much as he stood for anything, he stood for a moderate, patriotic, respectful Democrat party
00:36:28.180
that no longer exists. I don't think Jack Schlossberg is running for, for Congress on that
00:36:36.020
kind of a platform. I think he's probably running on the new Democrat party economic platform. I think
00:36:42.120
he's probably running on the new Democrat party platform when it comes to domestic policy, foreign
00:36:46.000
policy. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see more from his campaign. This is the, even the patriotism.
00:36:51.160
Could you imagine John F. Kennedy calling one of his brothers or his father or someone like that,
00:36:55.360
a rabid dog? No. So it's this kind of irony. So no one could destroy what my grandfather stood for.
00:37:04.400
Every single Democrat has destroyed that. In as much as John F. Kennedy has a legacy,
00:37:10.080
it is completely destroyed. And by all accounts, if you, if you, I'm not saying had he lived,
00:37:16.280
I'm saying had you taken John F. Kennedy and just put him in a time machine and dropped him
00:37:22.000
from the 60s into 1925, or 2025, he would be a Republican. He would be a conservative Republican.
00:37:28.780
There's no question about it. Okay. Speaking of Democrats seeking office, Scott Wiener,
00:37:35.800
the aptly named Scott Wiener, nomen est omen, is totally destroying a domestic violence victim
00:37:45.660
Our new live show, Friendly Fire, returns Wednesday night, 7 p.m. Eastern on Daily Wire+. Join Ben Shapiro,

00:38:07.760

00:38:12.660
My favorite comment is from Sean Atter, 72. It says, only conservatives buy Nike, the left steals
00:38:20.200
them. You make a great point. Because, you know, Michael Jordan said, well, Republicans buy Nikes too.
00:38:26.460
I don't want to get too political. But you're right, it's only conservatives who buy Nikes.
00:38:31.240
When the left gets Nikes, it's through their civil rights marches, you know, for St. George Floyd.
00:38:38.040
Well, as they're torching cities, they drop in and grab a pair or two of Air Jordans. Yes.
00:38:43.700
Scott Wiener. Scott Wiener, who is best known as the California legislator who reduced punishments
00:38:51.340
for pederasts. This is older men who rape young boys. It's statutory rape. We want to be fair to
00:38:59.100
Scott Wiener. Older, perverted men who prey on young boys. He wanted to make sure, as a matter of
00:39:05.880
justice, that he would reduce their punishments. He also, what was the other thing? He reduced the
00:39:12.100
punishments for people who knowingly spread AIDS to people, HIV. Yeah, that's his political legacy.
00:39:18.880
So, Scott Wiener seems to have one particular obsession. He's sitting doing a town hall kind
00:39:25.860
of event and a woman comes up. And, well, I'll just let you listen to the interaction.
00:39:33.080
Senator Wiener, as the only black lesbian here, can I please ask you a question because I flew
00:39:38.860
Okay. As a lesbian woman who was attacked in a woman's locker room at Gold's Gym this week
00:39:45.660
by a self-identifying trans woman with a documented history of domestic violence, I'm deeply concerned
00:39:52.780
about women's safety in female-only spaces. What would you say to women who are seeking
00:39:58.260
assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California law, can self-ID
00:40:04.960
as women in women-only spaces, sir? Please tell me.
00:40:08.880
Yeah. So, we want, I mean, everyone to be safe. And we also know that, you know, we have
00:40:16.400
trans people, both men and women, who are men and women. And so, you know, we, so if you're
00:40:32.500
So, this woman, listen, even that, I'll cut it off there. We should go. You've done great
00:40:35.400
things. I agree. This is a liberal woman. A liberal woman, a relatively solid Democrat
00:40:41.540
constituency, lesbian, black woman. It's not like his, you know, big Bubba right-winger
00:40:48.360
coming out there smacking out Scott Wiener. This is, this is one of his constituents. And
00:40:52.740
she says, hey, you know, I've, she's at least insinuating, I've experienced domestic violence.
00:40:59.760
There are women-only spaces for a reason. And what if I, what if I don't want to have
00:41:05.600
to, you know, get changed in front of a man? What if I don't want to have to use the bathroom
00:41:10.560
next to a man? What if I, you know, can I have any, like, the whole reason we have women-only
00:41:15.400
spaces to begin with, can I have any protection? And Scott Wiener comes out, he goes, no, you
00:41:20.740
can't. Suck it. Sorry. Ha ha. No way. You're not. We're forcing transgenderism on
00:41:25.680
everybody. You lose. She goes, but I, look, I respect things that you've done. Nope. We're
00:41:32.800
forcing dudes into your locker room and your bathroom. And I don't care that some man has
00:41:38.260
beaten you in the past. Doesn't bother me. Trans rights are the most important thing.
00:41:43.120
Well, we say goes. So, sorry. That's what, that's what he's saying. I, look, it might,
00:41:51.320
in his race, it might work out fine. This is what, this is the issue that started to unravel
00:41:56.160
the entire Democrat party. That's it. It was a major issue in 2024. And that, it's also an issue
00:42:04.080
where this woman, who's clearly very liberal, very much on the left, that's the kind of issue
00:42:09.760
that makes her think, man, maybe I misjudged this Trump guy. Because I got this deviant freak
00:42:16.300
in, who's running for Senate or Congress or whatever he's running for, Scott Wiener. And he,
00:42:21.720
I got this freak out here telling me that he's going to force me to get naked in front of men.
00:42:28.540
And I don't know, Trump, like, I don't like everything about him, but he doesn't make me do
00:42:33.540
that. Now, there's an interesting point she's raised. A lot of times when you hear the arguments
00:42:41.020
against the transgender ideology, you, it comes from this place of, well, some women have suffered
00:42:46.280
domestic violence. And so we don't want women to get beaten up in the bathroom, in the locker room.
00:42:50.160
So that's why we can't have transgenderism in public life. It's, it, it's another version of
00:42:56.320
when you hear, you know, well, we just love women's sports so much. Women's sports, the most important
00:43:01.180
issue to conservative Republicans. We just need our precious women's sports. So that's why we can't
00:43:07.160
have transgenderism in public life. And it's so ridiculous. The reason that we can't have
00:43:12.100
transgenderism in public life or that we should not is because it's false. It's completely ridiculous.
00:43:17.940
A man can't be a woman and it harms everyone involved when you pretend that he can. It harms
00:43:23.640
the people who are confused. It harms everyone around them. It makes the society engage in lies.
00:43:29.300
It's ridiculous. That's why. And sure, women should have their own sports leagues if they want,
00:43:35.420
I guess. I don't care. I don't care. No one watches women's sports. Sometimes women's tennis
00:43:41.520
people watch. I like female athletes. If they like their sports, they can, sure.
00:43:47.480
And furthermore, yeah, we need to protect women from being beaten up by men. Absolutely. Which
00:43:53.780
pertains to the women's sports in as much as we're talking about boxing or UFC or whatever. But
00:43:57.320
yeah, generally we need to protect women from being beaten up by men. But that's not the main reason
00:44:01.780
either. Because it's a relatively minor issue in the broader scope of trans identifying people going
00:44:11.400
into the bathroom. When the left tells us that, oh, come on, they're not really that violent in
00:44:14.920
bathrooms or aren't that many. Generally, that's true. It does happen. In fact, Daily Wire broke the
00:44:19.060
story of the Loudoun County rape because of a gender neutral bathroom policy. So it does happen for
00:44:23.380
sure. But yeah, I'll give it to the left. You're right. It's not happening 100% of the time. That's for
00:44:29.120
sure. Which is why I think we all need to be a little bit honest and say the reason that we
00:44:34.360
don't want transgenderism in public life is because it's just ridiculous and fake and false.
00:44:39.120
And it creates disorder and lies. But there was a great tweeter, Esther K, Esther C. Krakow,
00:44:46.900
who made this point. Said, why do women always have to cite sexual domestic violence to justify
00:44:51.660
single-sex spaces? Shouldn't I don't want to share a changing room with a man be enough?
00:44:57.040
Yes. Preach, sister. Preach. That's how I feel about even like gender neutral bathrooms.
00:45:06.600
I don't. Things that happen in bathrooms are gross. And I don't want to be around women who
00:45:12.940
doing that. And I don't want to do that myself around women. That's gross. A little mystery is
00:45:18.580
nice between the sexes. Yeah, it's gross. That should be enough. But the reason it's not enough
00:45:26.400
is because of the feminists. I'm sorry to say. It's because the feminists argued for decades,
00:45:33.400
they campaigned for decades on invading men's only spaces. For decades, they came and said men are not
00:45:40.380
allowed to have their own spaces. You see this, especially with private clubs. But elsewhere, too,
00:45:45.800
they said, no, wherever a man can go, women need to go, too. Except when it's inconvenient for us.
00:45:51.380
And so this is the problem. Men have figured out a workaround, by the way. The workaround to that
00:45:55.700
rule is cigar lounges. That is why. Look, I go to cigar lounges because I like cigars. I love cigars
00:46:02.460
since I'm 15. But another reason, and a reason that I think a lot of people who are not as obsessed
00:46:08.360
with cigars go to them is because it allows men to hang out with each other and talk with relatively
00:46:15.960
few women, if any, around. That's why. And it's nothing against women. I love women, as you know.
00:46:20.560
But sometimes, to Esther's point, sometimes women want to spend time with women. Sometimes men want
00:46:27.560
to hang out with men. Men and women are different, right? Right? Isn't that ultimately the objection to
00:46:35.260
the transgender ideology? Isn't that ultimately why support for same-sex marriage is declining?
00:46:43.000
Isn't that why people have turned against feminism? Why feminism has made women unhappy
00:46:47.260
relative to men and in absolute terms? Yeah. Maybe that's why. Maybe the feminists should not have
00:46:55.240
invaded every male-only space. Because this is the chickens coming home to roost, and they are hoisted by
00:47:00.700
their own petard. But that's fine. We should stop it, for sure. We should chill out with that,
00:47:05.280
no question about it. But it's... Guys, come on. Let's follow these ideas to their logical conclusion.
00:47:11.140
Give men their private clubs back. And give women their locker rooms and their spaces back, too.
00:47:17.060
Speaking of the difference between the sexes, this is a story that's deeply unpleasant that I didn't
00:47:20.640
want to get to, but I suppose I have to. It's going all around. An ABC News anchor,
00:47:27.480
Gio Benitez, has been confirmed in the Catholic Church. That in itself is a really good thing,
00:47:34.880
and that's very exciting, and that's wonderful. I want everyone to come into the church. That's great.
00:47:39.640
There's a little wrinkle with it, though, which is that he was confirmed in the church
00:47:44.560
as an openly gay guy. Not just as like a, you know, a little bit gay guy, like the British or something,
00:47:51.660
but as an openly gay guy, who does not seem to have changed his views on that, and his sponsor,
00:47:59.480
you get a sponsor in the church, just like when you're baptized as a baby of a godfather,
00:48:02.560
you have a sponsor when you come in. His sponsor was reportedly his husband, quote unquote.
00:48:08.420
So clearly not a lot of change in their minds here. Clearly not a lot of accepting Catholic
00:48:13.880
teaching, perennial Catholic teaching on this matter. And the guy who celebrated the confirmation
00:48:19.700
is this Jesuit, Father James Martin, who is obsessed with gay stuff. I don't know how to put it more
00:48:29.520
charitably than that. He's just totally obsessed with gay stuff, and he's like really, really into
00:48:34.500
promoting gay stuff. And he really makes the rest of the Catholics look bad. I say respectfully,
00:48:41.740
filial correction to Father Martin, but it's like really weird, man. He even, when the Vatican came out
00:48:48.840
and issued this ambiguous statement about blessing homosexual individuals, but not homosexual unions,
00:48:54.080
and it was a little confusing. What do you know? There's Father James Martin, and there just happened
00:48:59.220
to be a New York Times photographer right next to him when he decided to do one of these blessings.
00:49:03.020
And it's weird. It's weird. And I don't mean to be too harsh on Father Martin. Not sure one can be too
00:49:08.940
harsh on Father Martin. And I don't mean to be too harsh on this guy, Gio Benitez. I hope that he's
00:49:16.060
having a kind of religious revival within himself, and he's asking these questions. He wants to pursue
00:49:21.320
the truth and pursue God. This is a serious scandal. It's a really serious scandal. And it's a scandal
00:49:28.500
because it confuses people about church teaching. And it's a scandal because it leads the men
00:49:36.360
themselves astray. And it's a scandal because it turns other people away from the church.
00:49:42.380
You know the famous millstone, Mac, you know, about, you know, whoever troubles one of these
00:49:46.500
little ones, scandalizes one of these little ones. It, that verse is not referring to like physically
00:49:53.200
harming children or anyone. It's about scandal. The sin of scandal is a really big deal.
00:49:58.900
And it would be very helpful if Father Martin were corrected for this. It would be very helpful
00:50:06.360
if church teaching were clear. You know, church teaching is clear on this. And there are all sorts
00:50:11.780
of ways, you know, it's not as though they were blessing a same-sex union or this or that. It's just
00:50:16.020
all kind of in between the lines. And it's, it's scandalous. And that's bad. You know, the truth
00:50:22.480
above all things is to be pursued. And this kind of stuff, it's, it's, it's a kind of soft,
00:50:29.840
fake niceness. It's that kindness, you know, that the libs are always, be kind, just be kind.
00:50:36.340
But at a time when, you know, so-called rigid traditionalists have been restricted,
00:50:43.440
really put upon, had a real, had a real scrutiny applied to them, then you see this kind of thing.
00:50:49.560
You think, that's not loving. It's not teaching. It's not, it's really, it's not, not good.
00:50:53.780
It's scandalous. And, and you have, people need to take note of that. And there has to be a
00:50:58.520
correction, in my humble opinion, as a lay person. Okay. Speaking of religion, today is Theology
