00:00:47.640 The Supreme Court strikes down Democrats' racially discriminatory gerrymandering in a conservative win 0.82
00:00:53.680 that upends over 60 years of Democrat chicanery. 0.86
00:00:58.040 Meanwhile, Florida passes a new redistricting map that adds four new Republican congressional seats. 0.87
00:01:05.180 And ABC is reportedly about to pull the plug on Jimmy Kimmel.
00:01:09.160 All of which, I know this is uncharacteristic for conservatives.
00:01:14.460 I know we always have to be doomers and angry and despairing.
00:01:18.160 But this all has me cautiously asking, are conservatives, despite our self-conception,
00:01:27.300 actually on a generational run of winning a Michael Knowles?
00:01:31.400 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:48.160 Welcome back to the show. A little bit to temper our expectations. President Trump has continued
00:01:56.880 the Iran blockade. So he is promising that the Iran blockade will go on,
00:02:02.040 not just for weeks, potentially for years. We will get to what that means for oil prices,
00:02:08.500 the stock market, Republicans, elections prospects, world peace. We'll get to all of that
00:02:14.620 momentarily. This win from the Supreme Court, absolutely massive. The case, a lot of people
00:02:23.860 haven't been following this. We follow the really titillating cases, obviously the abortion cases,
00:02:30.320 some of the weird sex stuff cases we follow. This is a huge one. Louisiana versus Calais.
00:02:38.380 This was a 6-3 win. So you had all the conservatives plus the kind of squishy
00:02:42.580 conservatives against all of the liberals here. But what was at play was whether or not Louisiana's
00:02:48.880 congressional map with its second black majority district created an unconstitutional racial
00:02:57.460 gerrymander under the 14th and 15th amendments. So why this matters, you hear the Democrats 0.71
00:03:03.300 babbling all the time about the Voting Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act of 1965,
00:03:08.160 which they say is the most sacred, important law ever passed in the history of the United States,
00:03:13.780 as if people didn't vote before the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
00:03:17.500 And the Democrats have for 60 years now, and more so in recent years,
00:03:22.920 perverted the Voting Rights Act to say that as a consequence of it,
00:03:27.340 Democrats at the state level must be able to create majority-minority districts
00:03:34.280 based on racial discrimination, such that if a state doesn't have a certain number of
00:03:40.380 majority black districts say that it's somehow in violation of the Voting Rights Act. 0.73
00:03:45.400 But this, of course, creates a tension with the Constitution, because the Constitution says you
00:03:50.400 shouldn't be discriminating on the basis of race. So the whole point of these gerrymandered
00:03:55.400 districts that the Dems say they need to do as a result of the Voting Rights Act is to say we're
00:03:59.500 going to racially discriminate in redistricting. And if we don't racially discriminate in
00:04:04.720 redistricting, then we're running afoul of the Voting Rights Act. But that itself,
00:04:09.200 the Voting Rights Act, which exists to underscore, to double down upon, to buttress the 14th and
00:04:15.640 15th Amendments, that reading itself would undermine the 14th and 15th Amendments.
00:04:20.900 So Justice Alito, the GOAT, writes the majority opinion here, and he says that Louisiana intentionally used race as the predominant factor in its redistricting.
00:04:33.660 So it's not just a gerrymander.
00:04:35.200 Gerrymandering is when political parties redraw the congressional districts in order to give them an advantage.
00:04:41.140 And both sides do it, and they always do it, and they're always going to do it.
00:04:43.980 It's not just that it's a regular old gerrymander.
00:04:46.180 It is a racially discriminatory gerrymander, which is unconstitutional.
00:04:52.340 Alito points out that the plaintiffs here would have needed to show,
00:04:56.820 the people who want the racially discriminatory districts,
00:05:00.680 would have needed to show a racially polarized voting while accounting for partisanship.
00:05:08.660 And that voter dilution that they're seeking to address
00:05:13.300 comes from present-day racial discrimination rather than just sort of vague historical
00:05:19.520 discrimination, historical socioeconomic discrimination or whatever. And Alito
00:05:24.040 points out that the plaintiffs didn't do that. So this is just unconstitutional.
00:05:28.620 Justice Thomas agrees with Alito's majority opinion, but he, joined by Justice Gorsuch,
00:05:35.140 go even further. So I know I said Alito's the goat, but obviously Clarence Thomas gives him
00:05:39.820 run for the money on that. I still give a slight edge to Alito because Alito seems to me a little
00:05:45.500 bit more classically conservative and Thomas is a little bit more libertarian. But Thomas is the
00:05:50.860 man. We love Thomas. He's awesome. He goes even further than Alito. And he says that section two
00:05:58.240 of the Voting Rights Act, which is the thing that Democrats are harping on incessantly,
00:06:02.800 that's the provision of this law that's in play here. He says section two of the Voting Rights
00:06:07.160 Act doesn't regulate redistricting at all. Section two of the Voting Rights Act, contrary to the
00:06:13.740 Democrats' claims, doesn't say anything about how the states can draw their congressional maps.
00:06:19.240 He says section two of the Voting Rights Act pertains to violations of the voting rights of
00:06:28.280 the citizens, period, full stop. So a poll tax, say, or an exam at the ballot box,
00:06:36.960 or I don't know, a grandfather clause or something, that would violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights
00:06:41.940 Act. But it has absolutely nothing to say about the state's legitimate rights to draw their
00:06:46.820 congressional maps. Indeed, he says that the court's previous interpretations of the Voting
00:06:53.860 Rights Act are disastrous, and they violate the 14th and 15th Amendments. So we know what the
00:06:59.560 14th Amendment is. We hear about the 14th Amendment all the time. The Equal Protection
00:07:03.040 Amendment, the 14th Amendment, which is so broad, unfortunately, it has led to a lot of
00:07:08.980 constitutional problems. The incorporation of the Bill of Rights to the states, undermining
00:07:13.460 states' rights greatly, birthright citizenship because of a misinterpretation of the 14th
00:07:18.840 Amendment. It's so, so broad. Substantive due process, which is this way that the libs
00:07:23.460 use the 14th Amendment to just rule from the bench in any way they want, effectively just
00:07:30.260 legislating from the bench. There's a lot of problems with it, but we hear it's a very
00:07:33.980 important amendment. The 15th Amendment, people are less familiar with. The 15th Amendment reads,
00:07:38.740 the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the
00:07:44.040 United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
00:07:48.500 So another Civil War era amendment.
00:07:52.220 And nowhere in that amendment does it suggest that the states no longer have a right to direct congressional districts.
00:08:00.440 So this is a huge, huge win.
00:08:03.960 The reason that it's so important for Louisiana right now, the reason the case surrounds Louisiana,
00:08:09.140 is because Louisiana has these two districts that are going to give undue influence to Democrats on the basis of racial discrimination.
00:08:16.820 and they've got a primary election coming up in weeks, just a couple of weeks.
00:08:23.180 May 16th was the primary election.
00:08:25.200 Governor Landry of Louisiana has just come out and said,
00:08:27.020 we're suspending the primary election in deference to the Supreme Court's decision,
00:08:32.020 which means we're going to have to redraw the congressional districts
00:08:34.820 because we're not going to let the Democrats rig the election.
00:08:38.240 Now, zoom out from Louisiana, from this one decision,
00:08:42.380 from the primary election in the midterms and even the next presidential.
00:08:46.820 we are stacking wins at the Supreme Court. Probably the most notable win to come to mind
00:08:54.160 is the overruling of Roe v. Wade. After almost 50 years, Roe v. Wade is overruled,
00:09:00.440 one of the worst decisions ever to come out of the Supreme Court.
00:09:04.300 Roe v. Wade, which created a national license to abortion. That took a long time,
00:09:09.740 took almost half a century. It's been more than half a century since the Voting Rights Act
00:09:14.260 and the way in which Democrats have perverted that law actually to undermine the Constitution,
00:09:20.100 actually to undermine the protections against racial discrimination that the Constitution
00:09:26.220 enshrines. It takes a long time. Had we not won in 2016, we wouldn't have gotten that.
00:09:35.140 We wouldn't have gotten these Supreme Court justices. Had we not won this go around,
00:09:41.480 we'll see if that results in any more Supreme Court seats. But this is a massive win. And this
00:09:47.160 is something that conservatives are not very good at. It's kind of ironic because you'd think
00:09:50.860 conservatives understand the importance of time. Conservatives understand the importance of patience
00:09:55.520 as a virtue. But we don't. And the Democrats do. It's weird that the radicals are more patient
00:10:00.880 than the conservatives. But the radicals know you just have to keep winning and keep winning and
00:10:06.020 just keep doubling down on your power and insisting upon your preferences in law again and again and
00:10:13.320 again and again until eventually you build up, in the case of the left, this hideous, to quote
00:10:19.420 Alito, disastrous, sorry, to quote Thomas, disastrous kind of jurisprudence. But they
00:10:26.120 understand the importance, to quote Kamala Harris, the importance of the passage of time.
00:10:29.720 They really get that. Conservatives don't. And so for conservatives,
00:10:32.920 we elect trump a second time and we get a lot of wins out of it we get a lot of wins out of it we
00:10:39.600 get a net decrease of five million illegal aliens in one year the three million who didn't come in
00:10:45.800 who biden was letting in plus the two million that were deported 700 000 formally and then
00:10:49.900 million and a half or so uh self-deportations we we look at that and we say that's not enough 0.76
00:10:56.000 we look at the end of uh transgenderism in public life entirely which is effectively what we got out
00:11:02.640 of the first year. We look at the DOJ going from partnering with the SPLC to persecute conservatives 0.95
00:11:09.380 to the DOJ indicting the SPLC, the biggest left-wing organization. We go from Joe Biden
00:11:15.600 arresting Catholic grannies outside of abortion mills, praying with pro-lifers to protest abortion. 0.99
00:11:24.460 We go from those grannies being imprisoned to those grannies being freed. We go from 1.00
00:11:30.020 from ordinary, albeit eccentric conservatives being imprisoned for daring to oppose Democrats
00:11:36.380 to them being freed. We go from churches being spied on with the sanction of the DOJ
00:11:43.680 to the DOJ bringing cases against religious discrimination.
00:11:50.900 Massive shifts, okay? And we just have to keep our eyes on that because there are challenges,
00:11:55.340 there are setbacks, there are all sorts of problems. We'll get into the war in Iran right 0.95
00:11:59.320 now, which looks like it doesn't really have any end in sight. We'll get to some of those setbacks, 0.66
00:12:03.180 but keep your eyes on the prize, guys. This is massive stuff. The libs are furious about it.
00:12:07.660 We'll get to, oh my goodness, the Democrats in the House are apoplectic. We'll get to that
00:12:11.300 momentarily. We will also get to the way that Republicans are responding in their own
00:12:15.380 redistricting down in Florida. DeSantis absolutely killing it. First though, I want to tell you about
00:12:20.260 Cow Guys. Go to cowguys.com. Big Pharma ruined your skin. Can you pronounce every ingredient
00:12:25.440 on the lotion bottle? Does your moisturizer read like a lab report? What Big Pharma did to food,
00:12:29.940 they are doing to skincare too. They've used slick marketing to convince us to rub industrial
00:12:34.500 byproduct on our faces. Here's the problem. Skin issues are very common nowadays. Everyone knows
00:12:38.860 someone's struggling with bad skin, some kind of skin condition. And the truth is tallow is what
00:12:44.100 we used for generations before chemical companies took over. It is what your skin understands. It's 0.92
00:12:49.280 biologically appropriate. And most important, sweet little Elisa approves of it. Sweet little
00:12:55.880 Elisa tallow pilled me three years ago now, even convincing me to use tallow as an underarm 1.00
00:13:01.940 deodorant, which I didn't totally buy at the time. And now I'm totally sold. I brought cow
00:13:07.100 guys to sweet little Lisa. I said, hey, girl, what do you think? Give me your honest opinion. 0.95
00:13:11.860 She tries. This is great. I love it. I love it. And so it's great. Look, you've got the approval
00:13:15.940 of an expert. Right now, you go to cowguys.shop slash Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L. That is cowguys.shop
00:13:23.920 slash Michael. Get free tallow bomb with your order. So you remember, there was this really,
00:13:30.340 really annoying redistricting that just took place in Virginia. Virginia, which is basically a 50-50
00:13:35.700 state. Virginia, which basically voted 50-50 even on the referendum to redistrict. Virginia,
00:13:41.980 which has now effectively disenfranchised every Republican in the Commonwealth.
00:13:47.140 Well, I think Republicans now have 9% of the congressional districts,
00:13:51.080 even though it's basically a 50-50 state. So Virginia, I guess, has the right to do that.
00:13:56.000 It's unfortunate. It's clearly contrary to the interests of Virginia voters.
00:14:00.920 But as a result, Governor DeSantis down in Florida in their own redistricting has just
00:14:06.120 made it through the legislature. Now it goes to the desk of the governor
00:14:10.920 to add four more congressional districts for Republicans. So excellent, excellent stuff
00:14:16.600 from Governor DeSantis down there. A great response from the Republicans to the gerrymandering
00:14:21.440 in Virginia. Absolutely love it. Then on top of that, on top of that, we get the Democrats whining
00:14:30.200 in the House of Representatives. Here is Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat leader there,
00:14:35.060 just recounting all of the Republican wins.
00:14:40.060 And now we're at a point where affirmative action is gone.
00:14:45.080 Diversity is gone.
00:14:47.100 Equity gone.
00:14:48.540 Inclusion gone.
00:14:50.380 Racial tolerance gone.
00:14:52.340 The Voting Rights Act largely gone.
00:14:54.740 But guess what, extremists?
00:14:56.480 We're still here.
00:14:58.140 And we're not going anywhere.
00:15:00.760 And we believe in this country.
00:15:02.840 Not a perfect country.
00:15:04.820 Okay, so he's using all these euphemisms, see?
00:15:07.680 He's using all these euphemisms to try to make Republicans look like the bad guys,
00:15:11.140 to make the Republicans look extreme.
00:15:12.860 Don't forget the Republicans just won unified government with the popular vote across demographics.
00:15:17.000 So he's being very dishonest in his rhetoric.
00:15:20.080 But when you dig down past the euphemisms, he's reminding us of our wins.
00:15:24.460 One that I forgot, the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action.
00:15:28.160 Now, what is affirmative action?
00:15:29.780 Affirmative action is a euphemism to mean racial discrimination against whites and to some degree
00:15:35.380 Asians, which is obviously unconstitutional. You're right, that was struck down. You're right,
00:15:42.440 this racial discrimination in redistricting, that was just struck down. You're right.
00:15:48.560 Don't forget Roe v. Wade, that was struck down. Don't forget DEI, that was largely struck down.
00:15:54.400 Don't forget all the trans nonsense, that was largely struck down. You're right. 1.00
00:15:58.320 you guys are getting absolutely pummeled. By whom? By the extremists? I don't think so.
00:16:05.660 I think the median American, the median common sense, ordinary voter, not too partisan American
00:16:12.640 thinks that racial discrimination is wrong and we should generally avoid it. 0.95
00:16:17.840 I think the ordinary median American thinks it's basically wrong to kill babies. I think the
00:16:23.340 ordinary median American thinks the transgender stuff is totally nuts. I think the ordinary 1.00
00:16:29.560 median American thinks we probably shouldn't be prosecuting pro-life grannies and spying on 1.00
00:16:36.260 churches and imprisoning peaceful protesters on the others. And I think that's basically what the 0.99
00:16:44.000 ordinary American thinks. And we on the right, we think that the Democrats are just hegemonic
00:16:50.420 because they have been so patient, they have been so crafty, they have taken control of
00:16:55.120 basically every major institution in the United States over the course of some 60 years.
00:16:59.800 And so we think that's it. We can never win. It's over. Give up. Retreat to a political
00:17:04.300 quietism. Bury our heads in the sand and hope that they come for us last.
00:17:09.160 And what this Supreme Court, what this administration, what these Republican
00:17:14.660 governors have shown is that that's not true. You actually can beat the libs. This was a point
00:17:21.120 that I was making the other night. Matt and I were doing an event with TPUSA at the University
00:17:25.380 of Idaho, which is a ton of fun. I think the whole event is up on TPUSA's website. Some of the clips
00:17:30.700 have been going viral, but it was a great event. The kids were terrific. Erica, the leadership of
00:17:34.740 TPUSA, has done a tremendous job continuing Charlie's tour. And it was very encouraging
00:17:39.700 to go out there. It was very, very encouraging. Sold out crowd. Unfortunately, over a thousand
00:17:44.240 people we had to turn away because we can win. I was reminded of a quote from Cardinal Manning
00:17:51.540 that there will come a day, there is a day to come that will reverse the confident judgments
00:17:56.440 of men, which Cardinal Manning means in an eschatological, religious sort of way. And it
00:18:02.680 applies to politics as well because all human conflict ultimately is theological,
00:18:06.420 to quote the self-same Cardinal Manning. We can win. You want to know another great win?
00:18:12.640 This is really exciting. ABC, according to a report from The Sun, ABC is ready to pull the plug
00:18:19.180 on Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel, who just days before the latest Democrat attempt to assassinate
00:18:26.300 President Trump, this is number three, after many other violent acts from the left, which resulted
00:18:31.620 in the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk, the most important conservative organizer in the
00:18:38.040 activist side of the party. After all of this left-wing violence, Jimmy Kimmel comes out and
00:18:44.460 he does a fake White House correspondence dinner. And he says, oh, Melania, you have the glow of an
00:18:51.060 expectant widow. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And now, according to this report, after Melania Trump
00:18:58.340 says Jimmy Kimmel needs to be fired, many conservatives say Jimmy Kimmel needs to be
00:19:01.460 fired. I say Jimmy Kimmel needs to be fired. According to this report, ABC has had enough.
00:19:05.580 and they might pull the plug on Kimmel. That remains to be seen. There is no question though
00:19:10.840 that Jimmy Kimmel should be fired. And some libs are taking issue with me, with me in particular, 0.73
00:19:17.360 because I said Kimmel obviously should be fired. And the libs pulled up some tweet that I had 1.00
00:19:22.340 posted years and years ago at the height of woke when some comedian or other was being canceled for
00:19:27.640 saying that men can't become women or some totally innocuous thing. And I said, look,
00:19:31.240 comedians shouldn't be fired for their jokes. But now I'm saying Jimmy Kimmel obviously should
00:19:36.080 be fired, which if we were to go back to basic logic, a basic syllogism, major premise, minor
00:19:43.960 premise conclusion, I think makes my point very clear and coherent. Comedians should not lose
00:19:50.820 their jobs for telling jokes. Jimmy Kimmel should lose his job. Therefore, Jimmy Kimmel's not a
00:19:56.440 comedian. For starters, because comedians are supposed to make you laugh. And Jimmy Kimmel
00:20:00.960 used to make people laugh, but he hasn't made people laugh in a long time. Now he goes out and
00:20:04.300 he cries on his show and he tries to get claps rather than laughs. But even beyond that,
00:20:08.560 to take the issue more seriously, even if we say that Jimmy Kimmel technically is a comedian.
00:20:15.220 Obviously, there is some limit to the things that we say. I wrote an entire book about this
00:20:20.160 called Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, which thank you, which is a number one
00:20:23.640 national bestseller, describing the limits that all societies have for speech.
00:20:28.300 And so the question becomes, what sort of limits are we going to enforce? I don't even think the
00:20:35.720 most ardent defender of comedy, I love comedy, but I don't even think the most ardent defender
00:20:40.220 of comedy would say that there is nothing beyond the pale for a comedian. If a comedian, for
00:20:45.520 instance, were to joke and make a direct threat, that would be a violation of the law. That would
00:20:53.200 be illegal speech. If a comedian were to make a joke and slander someone or libel someone,
00:21:01.080 that would not be permitted. Even obscenity, there's a lot of obscene comedy, but even
00:21:06.680 obscenity would be a gray area. And then here, we're talking about maybe a threat,
00:21:13.960 maybe the incitement of violence, maybe just the encouragement of the murder of the president of
00:21:21.100 the United States. And in certain social contexts, maybe even that extreme could be tolerated.
00:21:30.860 But I guess we have to ask ourselves here in the big two six, the year of our Lord, 2026,
00:21:36.760 after President Trump was very, very nearly murdered in Butler, Pennsylvania,
00:21:41.320 just a couple of years ago, a year and a half ago, had part of his ear blown off.
00:21:46.060 After President Trump was almost assassinated again at one of his golf courses,
00:21:50.260 after a liberal teacher from California, Kamala Harris donor, just tried to rush and murder
00:21:56.920 President Trump with a shotgun and slaughter as much of his administration and guests as he 0.93
00:22:00.460 possibly could. After all of that, if we do not believe that after the successful assassination 0.87
00:22:07.400 of Charlie Kirk, which was celebrated by large swaths of the left, in that context,
00:22:12.360 if the encouragement of the murder of the president of the United States
00:22:16.320 is not beyond the pale, if that doesn't violate the taboo, if that is not worthy of getting
00:22:24.000 someone booted off of publicly regulated airwaves, what is? What is? If a triple assassination
00:22:34.580 attempt on the president in a short period of time, cheered on by a lot of the left,
00:22:38.500 which is busy trying to, and in some cases successfully murdering other conservatives,
00:22:42.160 If that is not the time to at least slightly rejigger the standards of public speech, what is?
00:22:49.960 What is?
00:22:51.420 At that point, we are saying there are to be no standards at all, which is not possible.
00:22:55.680 No society has ever lived that way.
00:22:57.600 And the left, which pretended to claim that 60 years ago, immediately took about resetting standards that were evil, that outlawed truth and demanded falsehood. 0.99
00:23:08.520 You saw this very clearly in the case of transgenderism, that outlaws good and demands 0.99
00:23:12.160 wickedness. You see this in the rejiggering, especially of sexual mores, but a lot of mores. 1.00
00:23:17.620 That discourages beauty and encourages ugliness. You see this in what passes for modern art and
00:23:23.100 entertainment. If this is not the moment to reset the standards, at least to a modest degree,
00:23:29.120 I don't know what is. Kimmel's got to be fired, and I hope ABC follows through with it. Okay,
00:23:34.440 the the shooter the aforementioned shooter is a little bit of a clown himself new pictures are 0.98

00:25:36.460 it is the would-be assassin. I don't even want to say his name. He's the guy. The last picture
00:25:41.360 you saw of him probably was where he was wrapped up in tinfoil like a baked potato
00:25:44.360 after he failed to kill anybody, thankfully. This guy takes a picture in his hotel room,
00:25:51.800 perhaps moments before he attempts to slaughter the president of the United States, 0.99
00:25:56.400 dressed up like a complete dork, wearing a black shirt with black pants and a bright red tie 0.99
00:26:03.220 tucked into his belt with what appears to be a machete or a big knife in his pants. 1.00
00:26:10.600 He's got guns all around him, taking a mirror selfie with that stupid millennial smirk. 1.00
00:26:17.200 Listen, we've all done it, all us millennials. 1.00
00:26:19.420 Boy, isn't this weird? So that happened. Hey, I did a thing today. It's this millennial
00:26:28.960 blasé, vocal fry, hipster cynicism. Gosh, boy, how quirky is this? How did I find myself in
00:26:39.020 the situation where I'm about to slaughter the president? Record scratch, freeze frame.
00:26:44.520 Yeah, that's me you're looking at.
00:26:46.660 It's so discordant.
00:26:49.740 This is why it's funny.
00:26:51.000 It's so incongruous to the severity of the action that he's about to undertake. 1.00
00:26:57.340 That he's obviously going to fail at because he's a complete loser. 0.99
00:27:01.100 Which is good. 1.00
00:27:01.880 I'm glad he's a loser, obviously. 0.99
00:27:03.000 I'm glad he didn't succeed at killing the president and the whole government. 0.99
00:27:06.780 But I guess what's so jarring about this picture is how unselfaware it is.
00:27:12.620 how surreal it seems, how even hyper-real it seems. The writer, Jean Baudrillard, has become
00:27:20.680 very popular, especially on the right, to talk about. We've had vocal distance on the show who
00:27:24.420 went viral for describing Baudrillard's theory of hyper-reality, which really started to become
00:27:31.180 mainstream in the early 90s when he made the claim that the Gulf War, the first Iraq war,
00:27:35.760 didn't really happen. In the sense that our experience of the war was so removed from the
00:27:41.140 reality of it. It was just kind of glittering images on a TV. Very few Americans were actually
00:27:44.900 involved in fighting it. American interests seemed fairly divorced from it. It just seemed
00:27:49.720 hyper real. It seemed, I don't know, very removed and abstracted and a local distances description
00:28:00.060 of this. It's kind of the difference between an actual strawberry and a strawberry jolly rancher
00:28:05.720 slushy. You know, it's just, there's actually, even though one is derivative of the other,
00:28:09.580 there's very little direct correlation between the two of them. And the reason I find the picture
00:28:16.320 so jarring is it underscores the most jarring part of the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination,
00:28:24.200 which is that the people cheering it on weren't just Antifa militants who were training to make
00:28:29.080 Molotov cocktails in some anarchist bookstore. The people who were cheering it on weren't just
00:28:33.640 overt terrorists. It was the quirky lady who sits next to you at work. It was your aunt. 1.00
00:28:41.860 It was your kid's teacher or the nurse at your hospital or the waiter at the restaurant you go to.
00:28:47.760 They didn't understand the seriousness of this act. Their moral framework was so skewed.
00:28:56.420 It seemed that very literally that might be a consequence of our overstimulation and our
00:29:02.400 living in a virtual world. People are calling this guy the Reddit assassin. He doesn't seem
00:29:08.300 like a real assassin. He seems like the kind of assassin who just exists on Reddit or on social
00:29:13.500 media, almost like an AI assassin. And because we live so much of our lives mediated by social
00:29:22.360 media and by the virtual world, we become alienated from our own bodies. I think that
00:29:28.300 explains a lot of the transgender ideology. We become alienated from our families, even. So 1.00
00:29:33.740 people break up with friends or disown their families increasingly over these more abstract
00:29:38.660 political debates. We become alienated even from our own actions. This guy taking the mirror selfie
00:29:44.700 that he's going to upload when he's just, aren't I just so weird and crazy? I'm just such a quirky
00:29:50.400 guy. I'm such a silly, quirky guy. I'm going to go murder the president. That's me. That's so me. 0.95
00:29:56.060 that it's it's so jarring because one gets the impression this guy did not understand what he
00:30:03.740 was about to do even as he went to do it with the knives and the guns as he's charging the secret
00:30:09.060 service and then he doesn't end up really harming anybody and he winds up naked wrapped up in tin 0.98
00:30:15.460 foil like a baked potato looking like the biggest loser on planet earth which he is 0.91
00:30:20.260 You just think, wow, this guy really misperceived the world. 0.95
00:30:25.620 That lady next to you at work who was posting on Facebook celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:30:31.360 You get the sense, not only is she doing something evil and wrong, but she just really
00:30:35.540 misunderstands the world. Charlie was a young husband and father of young kids who did not
00:30:43.820 whole political office who did not pass laws, who organized conservatives in a center-right
00:30:50.040 coalition that excluded the real toxic elements, and who was best known for going out and hearing
00:30:57.120 out the other side and speaking graciously and charitably with the other side on college campuses.
00:31:03.940 If that guy must be murdered, then the entire American right, everyone slightly to the right 0.98
00:31:10.040 if Hillary Clinton needs to be murdered. It just expresses such a misperception of reality, 0.98
00:31:15.540 such an alienation from society. And the libs, ironically, you know, every lib accusation is a
00:31:20.520 confession. The libs focus in, they concentrate on the threat from the so-called incel far-right
00:31:27.400 guy living in his mother's basement who never interacts with the world, who never gets a
00:31:30.920 girlfriend, who doesn't have any friends, who's living. But yet, ironically, it is the mainstream
00:31:35.300 left that is very much living in that way. It is the mainstream left that is dehumanizing its
00:31:39.360 political opponents, including those as amiable and moderate and gracious as Charlie Kirk.
00:31:44.660 It is the mainstream left that is divorced from reality. It's the mainstream left that
00:31:49.380 thinks that a man could be a woman. It's the mainstream left that thinks that a baby isn't
00:31:52.080 really a human being. They're the ones who are so alienated. And the solution to this,
00:31:59.700 I've long advocated for a regulation of social media and the internet. Americans of both parties
00:32:07.060 agreed with this in the 1990s. That's why they passed the Communications Decency Act and the
00:32:10.560 Child Online Protection Act, which was struck down by liberal judges, which underscores to our first
00:32:14.360 point in the show the importance of winning elections so that we can get conservative
00:32:17.460 judges on the court so that our country doesn't spiral out of control. But quirk, chungus, mirror,
00:32:23.160 selfie, millennial smirk guy should be a wake-up call to everyone. Frankly, the pictures he's
00:32:28.900 posting on the internet are more jarring even than the attempt to murder the president of the
00:32:33.400 United States because it shows you the pervasiveness of the problem. Okay. Now, speaking
00:32:39.600 of President Trump, unfortunate news, though perhaps inevitable news coming out of the war
00:32:45.200 in Iran, which to Trump's credit did kind of end within the timeframe that he suggested. He said
00:32:51.940 the war will go for four to six weeks. And right before the end of the sixth week,
00:32:55.940 there was the ceasefire, which is holding. It's a kind of a tenuous ceasefire, but it is holding.
00:33:01.140 responded to by Iran with a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:33:07.860 And then the United States responds to that with a blockade of the blockade.
00:33:11.220 So we now have a double reverse UNO blockade, which might just continue forever.
00:33:17.700 And this poses a major, major threat to the Trump coalition.
00:33:21.500 Daily Wire members have a brand new original mini documentary waiting for them right now,
00:33:24.980 The Race to Rescue.
00:33:26.340 Over Easter weekend, 2026, an American fighter jet was shot down over Iran
00:33:29.960 and a wounded officer vanished
00:33:31.240 into one of the most dangerous mountain ranges on earth,
00:33:33.780 alone, injured, hunted by an enemy nation.
00:33:36.100 He had one chance,
00:33:36.960 stay alive long enough for America to come get him.
00:33:39.340 What followed over the next 48 hours
00:33:40.840 was a mission built on deception, sacrifice,
00:33:42.900 and impossible courage,
00:33:44.300 as some of our bravest risked everything
00:33:45.980 to keep one sacred promise, no one left behind.

00:33:54.500 only on The Daily Wire.
00:33:56.980 My favorite comment yesterday
00:33:58.300 is from PNW Vibes, who says, the little boy that told you and Matt, this was at the TPSA event,
00:34:04.460 the little boy that told you and Matt he wanted to be a priest was so adorable. It was unbelievable.
00:34:09.580 Absolutely unbelievable. This kid comes up at the end. There were a lot of really,
00:34:13.220 really good questions. A lot of religious questions too, obviously, because you can't
00:34:17.500 separate politics and religion, and people increasingly realize how religious politics is.
00:34:21.680 But a boy comes up at the end, 10 years old. He says, hey, I want to be a priest. Do you have any
00:34:27.820 advice for me? And I said, you know you want to be a priest. And Matt, classic Walsh, decides he's
00:34:33.700 going to grill the little kid. I just said, this is great news. A little boy wants to be a priest.
00:34:37.000 What wonderful news for the culture. What a white pill. Walsh decides to grill him and says, 0.85
00:34:41.300 yeah, why do you want to be a priest? Why do you think you're going to be a priest?
00:34:44.780 And the kid gives the perfect answer. He says, I just think God's calling me to that.
00:34:49.540 Not even, this is my appetite, this is my desire, this is my self-actualization.
00:34:52.920 10-year-old kid. He says, I think God is calling me to that, just the answer.
00:34:56.540 and should be the answer to why we all do whatever our vocation is in life or our vocation.
00:35:03.960 Absolutely beautiful. I loved it. You can go watch the whole event somewhere on YouTube. Okay.
00:35:10.140 The war in Iran, the non-war, the paused war, the stalemate war in Iran continues.
00:35:18.680 Obviously, President Trump is blockading the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz,
00:35:22.460 the Iranian blockade, which has cut off 20% of the flow of the world's oil,
00:35:27.980 not to mention liquid natural gas, not to mention petrochemicals, not to mention fertilizer.
00:35:32.800 Some reports that upwards of 70% of farmers are going to have a shortfall in fertilizer coming up.
00:35:37.660 So major, major fallout to the global economy and therefore to global politics
00:35:41.640 from just the Iranian blockade. And President Trump responds to that with his own blockade,
00:35:47.180 which you have to grant is probably the best case scenario because the only two other options,
00:35:54.340 the only two options to conclusively end the war would be capitulation where we say, 0.71
00:36:01.140 okay, Iran, you win, whatever. You can keep pursuing your nuclear weapons. We're going to 0.95
00:36:05.740 lay off. We're just going to back out, reopen the strait, and we're good. So surrender or
00:36:11.840 a ground invasion of Iran aimed at regime change. Those were the two options other than,
00:36:18.100 well, you know what? You're going to blockade it. You're going to freeze in place. Well,
00:36:20.340 we're going to freeze you in place too. And we're just going to play a game of chicken now
00:36:24.060 that could result in a global recession. But we're just going to play this game of chicken.
00:36:31.620 Now the ball is in your court. So according to the president,
00:36:35.020 the blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing. I agree. They are choking like a stuffed 0.70
00:36:40.060 pig, and it is going to be worse for them. They can't have a nuclear weapon. So this is Trump's 0.88
00:36:44.500 line. Trump's line, which regardless of how the decision to enter into this war at this time was
00:36:52.900 made, obviously the prime minister of Israel was very supportive of getting involved in this war.
00:36:59.080 According to reports, so was the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, so were other people.
00:37:03.860 Now, a lot of people around the president were saying, look, even if Iran deserves it,
00:37:07.560 this is maybe not the best idea because the reasonable probability of overthrowing the
00:37:13.440 regime is just not there. And the proportionality, the goods to be achieved versus the losses that
00:37:19.180 will likely be incurred are probably out of whack. That was and continues to be my argument.
00:37:24.960 But nevertheless, Iran certainly deserves it. I think there is at least an argument that you 1.00
00:37:30.700 can make that the war would be justified on those grounds. And Trump has wanted to bomb
00:37:34.360 Iran for 50 years, and Iran has deserved it for 50 years because they made an enemy of the United
00:37:38.460 States since 1979, since they took our hostages, since they killed our hundreds of Marines in the 0.94
00:37:43.500 Beirut barracks bombing, since they've funded terrorism that has continued to kill Americans,
00:37:46.880 since they've destabilized the region and giving a big advantage to our geopolitical adversaries.
00:37:51.120 All of that is well and good, but what are we going to actually get out of this war?
00:37:57.760 Is this going to end quickly and decisively and actually help the United States or not?
00:38:01.460 that question is is very much open uh apparently the president told cnn's caitlin collins
00:38:08.140 that the timeline for the war at least for the blockade which is the the coda to the war we hope
00:38:15.440 it's the last part of the war that that now could be similar to the timeline in ukraine well hold
00:38:21.820 on the ukraine war hasn't gone on for weeks or months the ukraine war has gone on for years but
00:38:27.360 of course, the global economy cannot tolerate the closure of the Strait of Hormuz for years
00:38:32.160 or for months or maybe even for weeks longer without causing massive disruption and probably
00:38:40.540 a global recession. Now, the president knows that. But the bet here, at least according to
00:38:46.320 the reporting, is that Iran is on the brink of collapse. Even if the regime is not on the brink
00:38:53.700 of collapse, the Iranian economy is. Some of the Iranian infrastructures, the president said
00:38:57.940 this about unsold oil in Iran. He said, what happens is the line, the line that's transporting
00:39:06.120 the oil explodes from within, both mechanically and in the earth. Something happens where it just
00:39:11.400 explodes. They say they only have about three days left before that happens. And when it explodes,
00:39:16.000 you can never rebuild it the way that it was. So it's this real game of chicken here. Will the
00:39:21.760 Iranian economy collapse and will Iranian infrastructure literally collapse before
00:39:29.680 the global economy collapses because 20% of the world's oil supply is being held up in the
00:39:33.980 Strait of Hormuz, along with a bunch of other goods. That's the game of chicken here. This is
00:39:37.500 very, very high stakes. Now, given where we are in the war, given the fact that we did lead the
00:39:44.500 strikes and they didn't ask me to join the National Security Council, and a lot of people
00:39:48.620 or were skeptical of the war, were overruled. And so the die is cast and we are where we are.
00:39:54.260 This is probably the best thing the president can do right now is just hold out, say, look, 0.94
00:39:59.620 just a few more days, guys, a few more weeks, and maybe the Iranian regime is going to have to cry 0.88
00:40:05.160 uncle. We have all the military cards. And if we start bombing them again, then the Iranians are 0.84
00:40:10.980 going to start bombing our Gulf allies. That's going to weaken our support in the region. That 0.98
00:40:13.980 could escalate the worst. We don't want to do that, but we also don't want to capitulate because
00:40:17.760 the red line for President Trump is you cannot pursue a nuclear weapon. So now we're in this
00:40:22.660 game of chicken. Are the Iranian oil pipelines going to explode before the global economy
00:40:26.620 explodes? All of which is to say, the risk here for President Trump is that this action could
00:40:35.780 overwhelm his legacy. I certainly hope it does not. I have a lot of trust in President Trump.
00:40:40.600 He's got the best record on foreign policy in my lifetime. But I think he knew going in,
00:40:44.120 as I said the day it happened, this is the riskiest thing the president has ever done
00:40:48.860 in 10 years. And he's done a lot of risky things. He is not the most risk-averse president, okay?
00:40:54.080 He's done a lot, and he's succeeded basically every time. But as oil is now, the price of oil
00:41:00.400 is starting to catch up with what a lot of people were fearing, as oil is hitting a four-year high,
00:41:05.040 as farmers are having shortfalls in their fertilizer, as the global economy is getting
00:41:12.460 tense. The game of chicken is coming to a head. The president clearly wants out of this. He does
00:41:18.340 not want to govern Iran, have ground troops there, managing the country for years on end,
00:41:24.580 a la Iraq or Afghanistan. He clearly doesn't want that. But I don't think he's going to surrender.
00:41:30.660 So we're now in this extremely high stakes game of chicken, where we're in a war that's not really
00:41:36.160 a war, but it could break out once again into a war at any moment. And in any case, Trump once
00:41:41.900 again, gambling it all on Red 23, once again, with this incredible record from the first term
00:41:48.940 and the second term, and all the cascading effects of his record, namely, including,
00:41:55.220 I shouldn't just say namely because there are a lot of other cascading effects, but including
00:41:58.140 the judges that he's put on the court, which have cascading effects on redistricting, which have
00:42:02.580 effects on the representation in Congress, which have effects on Democrats' ability to hold
00:42:07.680 political institutions, which has effects, let's not forget, on the left-wing non-profits because
00:42:11.960 the DOJ is now prosecuting the fraudulent non-profits like the SPLC. All of this stuff,
00:42:17.480 he's kind of gambling it all on what could be the crowning achievement of US foreign policy
00:42:24.200 since the Cold War, namely flipping Iran to a more favorable regime. Or it could be the biggest
00:42:31.960 political problem he's ever found himself in. Can't say the guy's not bold. He can't say he's
00:42:36.960 not bold. That's where the situation stands. Okay. Now, speaking of less than ideal countries,
00:42:41.320 we turn from Iran to Haiti and back to the Supreme Court. We'll end where we began today
00:42:45.520 because the Supreme Court is also hearing a case on the temporary protective status
00:42:51.600 of all sorts of people who are not really helping America. In this case, the Haitians.
00:42:57.180 So you remember about a billion years ago, the United States gave temporary protective status
00:43:03.280 to Haitians. They said these Haitians, you know, they're in a bad situation right now. So we're
00:43:08.860 going to bring a ton of Haitians to the United States. We'll give them temporary protective 1.00
00:43:11.680 status. The Trump administration comes out and says, okay, well, last I checked, the word
00:43:15.700 temporary means not forever. You know, I know that Libs love redefining words. We redefine
00:43:22.140 American to mean foreign nationals. We redefine man to mean woman. But I'm pretty sure temporary
00:43:26.860 means not forever. So we're done with the temporary protective status. And the Libs are
00:43:30.660 saying, no, no, no, we want temporary to mean forever. You can't remove the Haitians. So this 1.00
00:43:34.040 case is going up to the Supreme Court. Here is Sonia Sotomayor, one of the lib justices who is
00:43:41.420 a little less, I don't know, reasonable, a little less precise than, say, Elena Kagan.
00:43:47.660 Sonia Sotomayor arguing that we can't end temporary protective status for Haitians
00:43:51.740 because Trump said that Haiti is an S-H-I-T-hole.
00:43:58.060 Now, we have a president saying at one point 1.00
00:44:02.680 that Haiti is a, quote, filthy, dirty, and disgusting S-hole country. 1.00
00:44:08.420 I'm quoting him. 0.99
00:44:09.940 And where he complained that the United States
00:44:12.740 takes people from such countries
00:44:15.040 instead of people from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark,
00:44:19.700 where he declared illegal immigrants, which he associated with TPS, as poisoning the blood of
00:44:30.420 America. I don't see how that one statement is not a prime example of the Arlington example at work
00:44:40.920 and showing that a discriminatory purpose may have played a part in this decision.
00:44:48.940 Okay, so Trump says that Haiti is an S-H-I-T hole.
00:44:53.440 And we all know Haiti, of course, is a paradise.
00:44:55.920 I mean, isn't that where you went on your honeymoon?
00:44:58.820 Everybody just is clamoring to go to Haiti.
00:45:01.460 This time of year? 0.97
00:45:03.200 No, listen, maybe not you bigoted, awful conservatives,
00:45:07.240 but surely the liberals and the leftists, many of whom listen to this show, 0.62
00:45:11.180 obviously you all think Haiti is a paradise, right?
00:45:14.720 Right?
00:45:15.540 Oh, no.
00:45:16.380 Hold on.
00:45:16.780 And if you're being honest, if we're just between us gals, are we going to acknowledge Haiti, not the nicest place? 0.57
00:45:24.640 It's a country that since it declared independence in a voodoo ritual that led to the absolute slaughter of every white person on the island.
00:45:33.700 That Haiti hasn't fared all that well. 0.90
00:45:36.440 That people eat cakes made of mud there because there's no food. 0.92
00:45:39.560 It's just like the worst country in the world.
00:45:42.800 Really awful place. 0.67
00:45:44.120 can we acknowledge that it's a pretty awful place? Can we acknowledge that the Haitians 1.00
00:45:50.220 want to leave and they don't want to leave because it's paradise? Okay, so if we can 1.00
00:45:54.680 acknowledge that just between us gals, then what Sonia Sotomayor is saying is because President
00:46:00.040 Trump described reality in a way that we would all agree with if we were being honest, because 0.89
00:46:06.080 he did that, he cannot end the temporary status of Haitians who are in this country. 0.92
00:46:12.060 he cannot even follow the law if he if he acknowledges reality and because she says
00:46:21.640 it's discriminatory okay put a pause here immigration involves discrimination can we
00:46:29.860 acknowledge that immigration involves discrimination because we take in some people
00:46:34.460 and we don't take in others right discrimination there's just discrimination there's unjust
00:46:39.340 discrimination. When you let your grandma enter your home for dinner and you don't let a burglar
00:46:44.540 enter your home, you're discriminating. You're discerning differences between two people and
00:46:49.460 acting accordingly. So immigration necessarily involves discrimination. The Democrats know that
00:46:56.040 in 1965, they rewrote the immigration law to discriminate. Ironically, given Sonia Sotomayor's
00:47:02.740 example, we now discriminate against people from Europe. And we discriminate increasingly in recent
00:47:09.980 decades on behalf of people from Latin America or the Caribbean, or even to a lesser degree,
00:47:16.800 the rest of the world. But we do discriminate. And so the question is, how are we going to
00:47:24.060 discriminate? And a basic rule of American immigration until recently and of just all
00:47:30.580 immigration to all countries is, well, you want to take in the people who will help your country. 0.99
00:47:36.480 And you want to keep out the people who will hurt your country. You want to take in the people who 0.82
00:47:41.380 can assimilate. You want to leave out the people who won't assimilate. You want to take in the 0.99
00:47:46.840 people who follow your laws and orders and procedures, not the people who undermine them.
00:47:52.360 Sometimes you'll take in a small number of people for purely charitable reasons.
00:47:56.980 And in those cases, you don't want them to stay forever. That's exactly what we've done.
00:48:00.580 and now it's time for them to go home. Because if we don't do that, then we're effectively saying
00:48:08.920 we have no borders, or even worse, we do have borders, but the people who are controlling them 1.00
00:48:13.220 are only going to take in the most dangerous elements and keep out the immigrants who might 1.00
00:48:17.960 potentially benefit American society. Are we going to tolerate that? I don't think so. That is an 1.00
00:48:23.980 existential problem for the United States. And I'm happy that because people have shown up to
00:48:29.580 elect Republicans to win elections, probably Sonia Sotomayor is not going to win the day
00:48:33.880 on the Supreme Court. But those stakes are very, very high. And it involves all of us getting with
00:48:39.520 the program and keeping our eyes on the prize and not being taken off into hyper real abstractions
00:48:44.600 about politics and a bunch of nonsense, focusing on the real wins. Okay. Much, much more to get to.
00:48:51.280 But today is Theology Thursday and the rest of the show continues. Now I'm very, I have a very
00:48:55.680 exciting guests coming on the show
00:48:57.640 and a pal of mine who I've been trying to get
