The U.S. has launched a fresh round of strikes on Iran as the war threatens to drag out for
00:00:19.420
months or years. The House votes to make daylight savings time permanent, and two homosexual men
0.70
00:00:25.400
sue the surrogate they hired because she wouldn't kill their baby over a cleft lip.

I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:31.440
Welcome back to the show. Huge show today. We have a former Daily Wire employee,
00:00:57.520
a former, a little more than an employee coming on to weigh in on a lot of drama.
00:01:03.780
Let's just put it that way. I usually don't get into too much drama, but we have a former Daily
00:01:09.220
Wire personality coming on later. I think this subject is too important not to weigh in on. So
00:01:18.020
in any case, we'll get to that in just a little bit. First, though, there's a lot going on. The
00:01:24.200
war in Iran is in full swing again. The president hearing from CENTCOM, we have major strikes coming
0.57
00:01:31.140
out again this morning. We've got a new senator from South Carolina. Lindsey Graham's sister is
00:01:36.400
going to take over that seat. We got a whole lot going on. And amid all of it, the House of
1.00
00:01:42.160
Representatives, which I love, look, I don't want to beat up on the congressman. Some of my closest
00:01:46.660
friends are congressmen. They're doing something that I hate. The House is currently doing something
00:01:52.340
that I hate, and the Senate needs to stop them. What they are doing is voting to make
00:01:57.320
daylight savings time permanent. And I know I'm in the minority here. I know this is an
00:02:03.440
unpopular opinion. I love that we switch the clocks. I think it's fun. It's a nifty little
00:02:10.720
cultural thing we do. People complain about it, but it's kind of fun. And it gives you something
00:02:15.640
to look forward to. And it makes us think about the significance of the passage of time, to quote
00:02:20.440
Kamala Harris. And it actually serves a purpose. And in recent years, levelers and liberals and
00:02:27.620
rationalists have been trying to kill daylight savings time or to kill standard time and make
00:02:33.020
it permanently daylight savings time. And this began on the left, but it's picked up steam
00:02:37.220
on the right as well. These are the same kind of people who love the metric system,
00:02:40.460
who just want everything to be clinical and bland and dry and unsatisfying.
00:02:45.600
In any case, the House just voted to make daylight savings time permanent.
00:02:51.620
You might not share my delight at the whimsy and apparent arbitrariness of this cultural tradition
00:02:59.120
we have of changing the clocks twice a year, even if you don't. And I encourage you to participate
00:03:05.840
in the whimsy and delight of changing seasons. But even if you don't share my joy in those
00:03:12.420
moments. Daylight savings time actually does serve a purpose. And alternately,
00:03:19.180
standard time serves a purpose. Changing the clock serves a purpose. In Arizona,
00:03:25.620
Arizona, which is being used as a model, because in most of Arizona, they do not have daylight
00:03:29.780
savings time. In Arizona, that kind of works because the earliest sunrise is 5.30 a.m.
00:03:35.760
and the latest sunrise is 7.30 a.m. In other parts of the country, that isn't true.
00:03:40.820
if this stupid house bill is enacted into law, in parts of Michigan, the sun would not rise until
0.99
00:03:49.220
914 in the morning. That's weird. That's not good. That's not helpful. In parts of North Dakota and
1.00
00:03:56.760
Minnesota, the sun would not rise until 945 in the morning during parts of the year. That doesn't
00:04:03.380
make any sense. I was lying in bed with sweet little Lisa this morning, lamenting the stupid
1.00
00:04:08.360
House bill. And she pointed out something that you never hear anyone bring into the debate over
1.00
00:04:14.580
daylight savings time. Namely, there's a reason we have it. And there's a reason we have standard
00:04:19.880
time. And there's a reason it changes. This is Chesterton's fence. I hear conservatives all
00:04:23.840
the time bring up Chesterton's fence. The idea that when you see something, when you find a fence
00:04:27.840
in the middle of a field, you have no idea what the purpose of the fence is.
00:04:32.080
The instinct of the radical is just to tear the fence down. But the instinct of the conservative
00:04:38.700
You have to first figure out what the fence is for.
00:04:54.540
I think even the White House supports this bill.
00:04:57.160
Sorry, as I say, Trump gets it right 99.789% of the time.
00:05:01.900
This is one of those incidents, instances rather, where we part ways.
00:05:09.060
This is, sorry, he gets it statistically 100% of the time, but on occasion, we're not quite in alignment.
00:05:22.260
We need daylight savings time and standard time.
0.99
00:05:24.380
Okay, speaking of the Senate, real quick, Lindsey Graham's sister is in fact going to serve the rest of his term.
00:05:30.740
This would be one of those areas, 99.789, 67% of the time, that I totally agree with the president.
0.94
00:05:36.420
Lindsey Graham's sister is a perfect person to fill this seat temporarily.
0.94
00:05:40.060
And I don't want to hear from people that, no, we need someone with a lot of political experience.
00:05:44.840
And no, we need someone whose ideology we know perfectly.
00:05:47.020
And no, no, no, there is a tradition of widow appointments.
00:05:51.820
When someone dies, you just appoint the widow to serve out the rest of his term, whatever the office is.
0.96
00:05:58.060
He was very close to his sister, Darlene, whom he had started to raise and eventually adopted beginning when she was 13 years old because their parents died.
00:06:06.500
So anyway, she was the closest person to Lindsey Graham.
00:06:09.720
All I care about really is that we just have a reliable vote, reliable Republican vote to advance the president's agenda other than on Daylight Savings Time for the rest of the term.
00:06:22.420
The political experience, I don't care how much Aristotle and DeNosa Cortez and Edmund Burke the person has read.
00:06:27.700
you just need the person to be a reliable vote. It's nice for Lindsey Graham's legacy. You say,
00:06:32.420
well, this is what he would have wanted, what have you. That's somewhat important.
00:06:35.900
But more important to me is we get someone who's going to vote in line with the party.
00:06:41.500
This is one of the best things you can say about Lindsey Graham. He was a partisan.
00:06:44.900
I like partisans. I like people who are reliable and loyal, who are good at politics. So in any
00:06:50.680
case, I think it's a good choice. Other final point on Lindsey Graham, some news is coming out
00:06:57.700
that as he was having this aortic dissection, this cardiac event, very dangerous,
00:07:04.560
he called his scheduler. This is according to Lindsey Graham's Senate colleague, Tommy Tuberville.
00:07:09.940
He calls the scheduler, says, hey, I'm having chest pains. You got to call. You got to do
00:07:15.300
something for me. And the scheduler said, have you called 911? And he says, I haven't called
00:07:20.300
911. That's why I'm calling you. So he was obviously feeling pretty ill. The scheduler
00:07:27.160
calls 911. By the time they get there, he's a goner. But very, very sad. Obviously, we shall
00:07:34.280
pray for Lindsey Graham. But this is a reminder of why men who are married live longer is because
00:07:42.720
Lindsey Graham effectively worked himself to death. He had just gotten off the flight from
00:07:47.700
Ukraine. He was constantly working. He was obsessed with his job. He was very good at his
00:07:52.260
job. And men who don't get married, men who remain confirmed bachelors, men in the priesthood
00:08:00.140
sometimes, they're not always the healthiest. One thing that women do in our lives is they make us
0.96
00:08:05.440
eat better and sometimes sleep better. And like, I don't know, just they kind of civilize us a
1.00
00:08:10.420
little bit. And this is an example of that. So a little word of caution to people, especially
00:08:16.620
you have family histories of these things to get them checked out to take care of themselves.
00:08:20.800
But in any case, there will be this fulfillment of Lindsey Graham's legacy through his sister.
00:08:28.020
Assuming his sister is a good, loyal Republican, I'm all good with it.
00:08:31.700
Speaking of Graham's legacy, Graham, one of the biggest war hawks in the United States,
0.55
00:08:36.220
the United States is announcing from CENTCOM a huge new wave of strikes against Iran.
00:08:41.900
the purpose of the strikes is to degrade the military capabilities that Iranian forces have
00:08:49.140
used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. So if you follow the progression of the
00:08:55.020
war, the cause's belly when the war kicked off was that we had to stop Iran's nuclear program.
0.90
00:09:02.180
Now, immediately you heard some of the voices against the war saying, hold on, I thought we
00:09:05.600
stopped Iran's nuclear program a year ago when we bombed the Fordo facility. I thought that was
00:09:10.080
the whole point of those bombers flying over Iran and the 36-hour campaign that eliminated
00:09:15.580
Iran's nuclear program. The response to that was, well, no, no, no. It's not that Iran's close to a
00:09:20.920
nuke, but Iran is close to an immunity capacity because of their ballistic missiles program,
0.96
00:09:27.580
such that if they keep building up their ballistic missiles program, they are going to be able to
0.61
00:09:31.940
build their nuclear program, and we won't be able to do anything about it. So we got to strike now.
00:09:36.220
The other slightly quieter aspect of the cause of spelly was that the Iranian regime was weak.
00:09:43.260
We had intelligence of when they were all meeting together.
0.98
00:09:45.460
And so this was the time to strike if you wanted to cut off the head of the snake.
00:09:48.240
So there was always this regime change possibility in there.
00:09:51.840
President Trump, when he announced the strikes on Iran, he said, Iranian people, the moment of your freedom has come.
00:09:59.700
So we were certainly hoping for regime change, but that hasn't happened.
0.91
00:10:04.620
And I, as I said from before, during, and after, had I been on the NSC, nobody invited me, I would have argued against the strikes, simply because I thought and continue to think, and I think have been proven right in thinking, that the Iranian regime is simply stronger than a lot of people gave it credit for.
0.78
00:10:21.600
You know, the U.S., we're the global hegemon, but let's not forget, when it comes to Iran,
0.78
00:10:25.220
the CIA-backed Shah regime from 1953 to 1979, that lasted 26 years.
00:10:31.480
The Islamic Mullah regime has lasted almost twice as long as that.
00:10:36.280
They've been preparing for these strikes for years and years and years.
0.90
00:10:40.760
It closes down the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States seems to be a little flat-footed there.
0.73
00:10:44.800
So we bomb, bomb, bomb, then we have the ceasefire, this MOU.
0.74
00:10:51.160
we're going to keep bombing. We're going to increase the pressure. And there's really no
00:10:56.500
end in sight, which is a political problem for President Trump because the war will hurt him in
00:11:01.240
the midterms. Could spike gas prices. The US is now controlling the strait of war moves. So I guess
00:11:06.780
you're going to see a little easing of the prices in the energy markets. But regardless,
00:11:12.200
no matter all those details, which you have to follow the details, but regardless, structurally,
00:11:17.940
nothing has changed. Structurally, since the beginning of this war, since before the war,
00:11:23.800
since 15 years ago, nothing has changed with Iran, which means that the likelihood of a
0.99
00:11:29.780
protracted or accelerating conflict just keeps going up, which I think was baked in from the
00:11:34.320
beginning. Okay, speaking of violence, a couple of homosexual men are suing their surrogate,
00:11:40.660
the woman whose womb they rented, to implant the baby that they procured by paying another woman
0.55
00:11:47.800
to buy her eggs. They're suing the surrogate because the surrogate would not murder their
00:11:54.560
child at their command after they learned that the child would have a little bit of a disfigured
00:12:02.840
lip, maybe. We'll get into it. First, I want to tell you about Pepperdine. Go to go.pepperdine.edu
00:12:10.860
slash Daily Wire. One of the easiest things to do is point out what is wrong with the country.
00:12:15.720
much harder to prepare yourself to help fix it.
00:12:24.040
They want to understand it well enough to shape it.
00:12:43.800
who went to the Pepperdine School of Public Policy
00:12:49.480
It's one of the all-time great public policy schools.
00:12:55.820
It's in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.
00:12:58.400
They have the right idea about a lot of things.

00:13:25.080
Couple of homosexual men buy a woman's eggs,
0.99
00:13:28.340
then they commit grave mortal sins into a cup,
1.00
00:13:33.940
and then they pay unscrupulous, unethical scientists
00:13:40.680
Well, actually, to deliver the baby to another woman
1.00
00:13:42.780
whose womb they rented in order to have her grow the baby so that they can commoditize human life
1.00
00:13:49.040
and purchase a baby. But something went a little wrong along the way. Around 22 weeks, when the
00:13:54.560
baby is so obviously visibly a baby, it's like crazy. Having done this now four times, if you've
00:14:03.060
ever had a kid, know someone who's had a kid, you know, at 22 weeks, this baby, a baby's always a
00:14:07.640
baby, but this baby's like really, really a baby. The homosexuals wanted the woman
0.99
00:14:12.180
to kill the baby. They invoked a clause of their contract because when you hire a surrogate,
1.00
00:14:18.680
you have a contract because you're buying a product because you're treating human life
00:14:22.400
as a commodity. So they say, well, we want to exercise this clause of our contract.
00:14:29.520
You got to kill the kid. Why do you need to kill the kid? Because doctors said he might have a
1.00
00:14:34.660
cleft lip. He might have a minor heart problem, not a serious heart problem, minor heart problem,
00:14:40.480
and a cleft lip. And the woman said, hey, man, I don't want to murder this baby. I mean,
0.58
00:14:46.540
obviously, the woman is a little confused about bioethics if she is taking this contract,
1.00
00:14:52.020
leasing out her womb to these homosexuals with whom she's going to create a child to
1.00
00:14:56.240
intentionally deprive the child of a mother. Obviously, she's got a lot of bioethical problems
1.00
00:14:59.540
too. But at the very least, she had enough of a conscience to say, I'm not going to kill the kid.
0.98
00:15:04.260
I'm not going to kill the kid at 22 weeks because a couple of guys with deep pockets and light loafers don't like the look of his lips.
00:15:16.000
And so eventually the homosexual men relent.
0.91
00:15:19.680
And then the woman wants to give birth as a home birth.
00:15:24.080
But the homosexual men want her to give birth in the hospital.
0.64
00:15:27.100
So finally the baby is born and the baby is fine.
1.00
00:15:32.740
And the homosexuals are now suing her for breach of contract.
0.96
00:15:36.580
Oh, man, it's just every single person in this story other than the baby drives you up a wall.
0.91
00:15:43.900
This slippery slope is just, it's not even a slip and slide.
00:15:48.400
It's like it's contracted, like some sort of slinky or something.
00:15:51.740
It's almost a singularity of how quickly we went from people just want to be left alone
0.78
00:15:57.600
to why won't you let us murder the children that we're purchasing
0.97
00:16:01.080
because we don't like how their lips look.
0.99
00:16:21.340
after they fail to get the woman to murder their kid
0.96
00:16:23.120
because they don't like how his face looks.
0.62
00:16:27.580
well, we want the kid to be born in a hospital.
00:16:30.020
If he's going to have some medical complications, we want to make sure he's born in a hospital.
0.84
00:16:33.320
The woman says, no, I want it to be a home birth.
1.00
00:16:35.120
And at that point, the homosexuals get really nervous, and I get it.
0.97
00:16:39.380
I probably would want a hospital birth in that case too.
0.56
00:16:43.340
And in the way that childbirth is supposed to happen, you would just talk about that with your wife.
0.89
00:16:49.420
And you would just say, no, we're going to go to the hospital.
00:16:51.880
But when you commoditize everything, when you make everything just an economic transaction,
00:16:56.400
when you make everything a matter of legalism and contracts, you don't get to say that.
0.99
00:17:02.480
So in a way, I mean, the homosexual guys are certainly the villains, the chief villains in
0.95
00:17:07.540
the story. Almost everybody's a villain, but they're the chief villains in the story. And yet
0.98
00:17:11.100
even they, I think, deserve a little bit of sympathy here for their discovery, albeit too
00:17:20.240
late that this whole system of the baby industry, of IVF and surrogacy, is really messed up.
00:17:27.760
They were the ones driving it, no doubt about it, but even they, in a way, become victims of it.
00:17:32.000
The whole thing is just completely morally unacceptable. And I think people are waking
00:17:37.980
up to that fact. The Republican Party of Texas just changed part of this platform to say that
00:17:41.900
it opposes the commoditization of babies in the surrogacy industry. So they're waking up. I mean,
00:17:47.580
this used to be like an 85-15 issue, everybody supported IVF and surrogacy. But it's one of
00:17:52.680
those issues where they only support it in as much as they don't understand what it is.
0.86
00:17:57.860
They support it because in theory, it's good that infertile couples can now have babies.
0.78
00:18:03.740
They support it because in principle, more babies is a good thing. And if you don't look at what it
1.00
00:18:10.420
actually is at a deeper level, you would support it. But the more you see it, the more you do not.
00:18:16.600
So the same goes for a lot of the sexual revolution. When it's all just like pride
00:18:20.940
flags and the YMCA, everybody supports it. When you figure out what it's actually about,
0.60
00:18:26.160
you know, like chopping off kids' genitals, all of a sudden people start to turn
0.98
00:18:29.260
on the lavender movement. Okay. Speaking of weird sex stuff, and Canada actually,
0.99
00:18:35.900
because that case happened in Canada, the Toronto police have gone fully trans. By the very,
0.97
00:18:41.600
very tail end of Pride Month, the Toronto police are going not just the rainbow flag,
00:18:47.600
they're doing the terrorist rainbow flag, the one with the trans colors and the BLM colors. Take it
0.79
00:18:52.000
away. Contacted by the Crown at the Ontario Court of Justice to assist with the case that they had.
00:18:59.420
So they asked me to reach out to the victim and make sure she's safe and take her home.
00:19:03.080
He drove me home in the fabulous Pride SUV. And as he was driving me home, we reached a stoplight
00:19:09.600
And then an individual in a pickup truck came up to us.
0.99
00:19:23.420
Are you guys cops or you just identify as cops?
00:19:38.480
I have no idea. Reality doesn't exist anymore, right?
00:19:42.840
Part of me was shocked, but part of me was not shocked.
00:19:46.280
I am a trans woman. I've been transitioning for eight years.
00:19:49.500
I get harassed and vilified every day of my life.
00:19:58.680
The line from this guy who happened to be filming on a hands-free cam is really funny.
00:20:02.500
Are you guys cops or do you just identify as cops?
00:20:06.520
it's even it's even more embarrassing for the canadian police because the american police if
00:20:12.100
you if you got up in their face like that american police of a certain age would just beat you up
00:20:16.420
and it's like they probably shouldn't do that but you kind of like that they do you know they're
00:20:20.000
tough guys you know but the canadian police would say what do you think i am yeah because the guy
0.81
00:20:25.320
the cop is obviously embarrassed to be driving the gay car and the trans car obviously it's absurd
0.57
00:20:30.220
Because what this is, make no mistake about it, is LGBT ideology literally enforced at the barrel of a gun.
0.95
00:20:39.720
And, you know, whenever the government does anything, we say, and especially libertarians say, that it's the imposition of some idea at the end of a gun.
0.88
00:20:52.320
But it's kind of removed when it's a bureaucrat or a senator or whatever.
0.76
00:20:56.480
In this case, it is the cops wrapping their flags in the gay ideology, becoming the private chauffeurs of sexually deviant men, insisting very visibly to the public that you need to get on board with this.
0.84
00:21:12.600
This is the ideology of the state, and it is being enforced by the police, by law enforcement.
0.87
00:21:19.400
Okay. Speaking of law enforcement, big announcement on ICE. DHS has just come out and said that ICE is going to stop the traffic stops during which a guy was killed in Maine and a guy was killed in Texas just over the last week. DHS says we're going to put a halt to those traffic stops. Then President Trump comes over the top of the rope, says, no, we're not. Full steam ahead. We're still doing the traffic stops. We'll get to what that means.
00:21:45.760
Also, I mentioned it at the top of the show, we have a former Daily Wire, I can't even say employee, a very, very important Daily Wire figure who's coming on to weigh in on the drama.
00:21:56.860
I usually don't want to get involved in the drama.
00:22:01.640
This issue is so important that I think we need to hash it out on air.
00:22:08.240
First, though, I want to tell you about Preborn.
0.91
00:22:10.020
Go to preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S.
00:22:12.640
We just celebrated Independence Day and reflected on 250 years of the American experiment.
00:22:17.120
For a few days, we remembered the courage, sacrifice, and conviction of those who built
00:22:22.280
We celebrated the belief that every person is endowed by his creator with certain unalienable
00:22:26.340
rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:22:28.680
Question is, what does it mean to honor those ideals today?
00:22:31.780
One answer is to defend the most fundamental right of all, right to life.
00:22:38.220
Preborn provides compassion, practical support, and free ultrasounds to mothers facing unexpected
00:22:42.520
pregnancies. That ultrasound changes everything. When a mother sees her baby and hears that tiny
00:22:47.280
heartbeat for the first time, more than 80% choose life. Every child is a future that has not yet
00:22:52.720
been written. A future teacher, a future firefighter, a future entrepreneur, a future
00:22:56.320
parent, a future saint. We will never know what those children might become unless they are first
00:23:01.600
given the chance to live. For $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound. The ultrasound will more than
00:23:07.260
double the baby's chance of survival. This is one of the best returns on investment you can get.
00:23:11.580
In honor of America's 250th, I encourage you to prayerfully consider a special gift of $250.
00:23:16.760
That's enough to provide eight ultrasounds and potentially save eight lives.
00:23:20.160
To donate to pound 250, say keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby.

00:23:30.320
Okay, without further ado, we are now joined by former Daily Wire 2 sports correspondent Jeremy the God King Boring.
1.00
00:23:41.580
Bada-ba-zing, bada-ba-zoom, I'm sorry, Laurel, and yowza!
0.66
00:23:49.280
Michael, another four years have come and gone, and you know what that means.
0.93
00:23:53.580
No, I'm not talking about another war in the Middle East, although, yeah.
00:23:56.800
And I'm not talking about another most important election of our lifetimes, although, sure, we had one of those too.
00:24:02.440
No, I'm talking about another federal emergency management agency, World Cup, FEMA!
0.85
00:24:07.760
That most beautiful of all competitions in which the sundry nations of the world, both Muslims and, well, those from countries about to become Muslim,
0.92
00:24:17.460
put forth the best players they can possibly import from the third world,
0.98
00:24:21.060
where running back and forth, kicking human skulls into nets while occasionally falling down and playing the victim,
00:24:25.780
is still considered aspirational sport play, mostly because the people of those nations can scarcely afford the net.
00:24:32.240
This year, 40 of the 48 countries in the contest have non-citizen players
00:24:37.460
Which is a perfect microcosm of the broader trend of reverse colonialism
00:24:41.540
Currently destroying the once great nations of the West
00:24:49.680
Such as human rights, functional plumbing, and not marrying your cousin
0.52
00:24:53.240
Exported those good ideas to poorer countries with worse ideas
0.98
00:24:56.940
Thus lifting the poorer countries imperfectly
0.59
00:24:59.380
and sometimes exploitatively out of the prehistoric cycles of rape, violence, and poverty
0.96
00:25:04.160
that had always defined them and tore the bright white light of civilization.
00:25:08.780
Well, that was wrong, Michael, and we should all be ashamed of ourselves.
00:25:11.920
But now we have reverse colonialism, where we just do the whole thing backwards
0.99
00:25:16.120
and import the horrible ideas of the third world into our own nations,
1.00
00:25:19.900
thus reducing our societies into the same sort of unsuccessful and demonic hellholes
0.99
00:25:24.180
that we used to conquer like gentlemen would.
0.96
00:25:26.400
And, unlike old colonialism, new colonialism is fully Christian housewife approved,
0.93
00:25:33.120
as soccer, the British rape gangs, and Candace Owens' ratings make disturbingly clear.
1.00
00:25:39.020
This year, World Cup features an historic first,
00:25:42.860
when the United States, with a GDP of $31.86 trillion,
00:25:47.440
hosted the Islamic Republic of Iran, GDP $300 billion,
00:25:51.340
while the former country was actively, to quote the most eloquent president since Abraham Lincoln,
0.99
00:25:59.840
Iran responded to this attack on its sovereignty by tying New Zealand GDP 278 billion,
0.98
00:26:05.440
then by tying Belgium GDP 776 billion, and then by tying Egypt GDP 429 billion.
00:26:14.040
And then, despite never having lost a single match, being deemed the losers anyway
00:26:18.220
and sent back home to be hung from cranes.
1.00
00:26:21.040
I mean, that's just a guess based on how gay soccer players look
1.00
00:26:23.620
while flailing about with fake injuries like Jussie Smollett with a tuna sub in MAGA country.
0.98
00:26:29.240
Iran, being deemed losers despite never actually losing,
0.70
00:26:32.520
is just another example, Michael, of how soccer is the complete inverse of the real world,
0.95
00:26:37.200
where Iran continues to lose every single battle and then is declared the winner anyway
00:26:41.760
by the Democrats, the New York Times, and the unclean spirit currently possessing Tucker Carlson.
00:26:47.220
But of course, the biggest star of the fugly World Cup isn't a country at all.
00:26:51.840
It's 39-year-old Argentinian forward Lionel Messi, who despite his advanced age,
00:26:57.440
nevertheless led Argentina GDP $688 billion to the semifinals against England with a GDP 700% higher.
00:27:06.640
Messi's performance is just proof that 40 is the new 4.
00:27:11.040
4 being the age at which most Americans lose interest in soccer
00:27:13.920
and start paying attention to more complicated and compelling games
00:27:17.120
like baseball, actual football, or Candy Crush,
00:27:20.720
which, at an average revenue of $1 billion per year,
00:27:28.920
which somehow very nearly beat Lionel Messi in this sham of a sport.
00:27:33.960
Still, even the absurdity that is soccer isn't enough
00:27:36.980
to take all the shine off the good old U.S. of A,
00:27:39.360
as soccer fan-turned-Instagram influencers from around the world
00:27:42.440
have discovered during their pilgrimage to our golden shores. Who can forget such heartwarming
00:27:47.680
posts as, I've never seen this many alive old people in summertime, by Brigitte is a woman of
00:27:53.920
Calais, France. Or, did you know that women have faces? Amerikahu Akbar, as shouted by Mahmoud
00:28:00.560
Barkhari of East London. And of course, this gas station produces more value than my entire country,
00:28:07.060
declared Carlos Barros of, you guessed it, Cabo Verde,
00:28:12.740
than the actual annual revenue of Buc-ee's.
0.68
00:28:27.880
where no amount of personal skill or personal greatness
1.00
00:28:30.580
can consistently produce more points than Haiti or Ghana
00:28:35.780
Why? It's almost as if this entire charade is a leftist humiliation ritual coupled with a
00:28:41.880
Duganist multipolarity project, but only in sport form. I don't even have a closing joke. No, it's
00:28:48.080
just a sad socialist egalitarian self-flagellation. We should be ashamed. And the Israeli team failed
00:28:53.740
to even qualify, so you can't even blame the Jews. Yowza! Jeremy, before I let you go,
00:29:22.100
Really important. I just thought, look, I don't
00:29:28.300
on to talk about that really, really important stuff. Okay, should we get to ICE? I guess we
00:29:33.900
can get to ICE. They were going to stop all of the, what, you want me to keep talking about
00:29:39.560
soccer? No, we got to get to, we already covered. That's all we need to cover for the World Cup.
00:29:43.660
That's all we're getting for another eight years, and we'll bring Jeremy the God King Boring back
00:29:46.980
on. ICE announced that they were going to stop all of these street stops because people were
00:29:55.800
getting killed in Maine and in Texas. President Trump just comes in over the top of the rope,
00:30:00.940
says, absolutely not. He says, quote, the men and women of ICE are doing a great job,
00:30:05.840
one that has to be done. Crime is way down in America in many cases with numbers that haven't
00:30:10.520
been seen in decades. The open border policy of sleepy Joe Biden allowed 25 million people to
00:30:16.420
pour into our country, unchecked and unvetted. Many were criminals and we have to get them out.
00:30:20.940
In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we cannot give up one of ICE's
00:30:26.180
most important and effective crime-fighting tools. The traffic stop. Once we do, we are playing right
00:30:33.280
into the criminal's hands. The radical left Democrats, he calls them Democrats now, would
00:30:38.340
like to see this done, but it won't happen on my watch. ICE, be judicious, fair, and smart,
00:30:42.600
and go back and do your very important job. Keep those crime stat records coming. Remember,
00:30:46.600
you are loved and respected in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:30:52.800
I love this. This is really important. This is great leadership here. I saw the report coming
00:30:58.180
out of DHS that, you know, after the shooting, the one in Texas, no one paid attention to because
00:31:02.600
Texas electorally is not that much at risk. But in Maine, the Democrats really poured in
00:31:07.680
a lot of resources into flipping Maine to be a Democrat Senate seat. So that's the only reason
00:31:12.800
you're hearing about that. It's purely cynical. It's purely political. But DHS seemed to play
00:31:17.860
into those hands, at least according to the reports, and say, okay, we're going to stop
00:31:20.300
the traffic stops for a little bit. And that was totally the wrong move. Because I covered this on
00:31:25.820
the show yesterday. And I don't know if President Trump watched the show, but he at least had the
00:31:29.920
very same line of thought, which is, yeah, look, it's sad. It's sad. I wish these people weren't
00:31:35.700
shot. I wish they didn't drive their car into police officers. I wish they didn't threaten
00:31:40.360
in the public by erratically driving away. But yeah, I'm sad that they're shot. I wish they
00:31:45.160
weren't shot. I wish ICE wasn't in this position. I wish federal law enforcement didn't have to go
00:31:49.880
and arrest these people. I wish that the Democrats hadn't let in 15 million illegal aliens.
1.00
00:31:54.420
I wish all of that. I wish Joe Biden didn't let 3 million illegal aliens in per year.
1.00
00:31:58.600
Then we wouldn't be in this position. But we are where we are. So what do you want?
00:32:02.460
What do you want to do? We're going to just, are we just going to make a mockery of our border
00:32:06.540
and our law and just let illegal aliens who rape, kill, murder, and also tax our welfare system and
0.99
00:32:13.480
just undermine our rule of law. Are we just going to let them remain and encourage more and more of
0.99
00:32:18.520
them? No. Okay. So then we got to arrest people. If you're going to arrest people, sometimes they're
00:32:22.360
going to resist arrest. Sometimes they're going to drive their car at cops. Then you got to shoot
00:32:25.340
people. That's very sad, but backing off the law enforcement is not the answer. In fact, it only
0.98
00:32:33.920
makes the problem worse. What is the problem right now? According to DHS official numbers,
00:32:39.360
since the start of the second Trump administration, there have been 900,000
00:32:42.680
formal deportations. On top of that, the DHS reports, there have been 2.2 million self-deports.
00:32:49.060
Now, we don't know if that's true. According to the official app, where there are these incentives,
00:32:53.200
if you deport yourself, you check in from your home country, they'll send you a thousand bucks
00:32:56.600
or two thousand bucks. That number shows less than 100,000 self-deports. But you are seeing
00:33:03.360
people pop up in different data because the people who were waiting for their immigration
00:33:09.240
hearings, they're no longer showing up. They're leaving the country before then. They're kind of
00:33:12.820
giving up. So it's unclear. At most, though, we're talking about 3 million deportations at most,
00:33:19.700
maybe considerably less than that since the start of the second Trump admin. There are an estimated
00:33:25.040
15 million illegal aliens in the country. It might be more than that. I'm being kind of
00:33:29.020
conservative with the numbers. We're already over a year and a half in. It's a four-year term. I
00:33:36.400
hope that we get another eight years and who knows, maybe the third, fourth, fifth Trump term
00:33:40.520
or his successor or what have you, but we can only count on another two and a half years.
00:33:48.360
900,000 formal deportations in a year and a half out of 15 million illegal aliens.
00:33:54.480
now is not the time to pull back on any of the levers yes i think trump is really right here
00:33:59.900
he says look be judicious be fair and smart but go back and do your very important job
00:34:05.860
if anything we need more traffic stops we need more ice agents on the street we need i hope
00:34:11.900
people don't resist arrest i hope people don't get shot but we need a drastic increase in the
00:34:18.800
immigration enforcement. This is not the time to pull back. Not the time to go wobbly. No chance.
00:34:25.620
Okay. Speaking of other Trump priorities, this is a really important story that came out last week
00:34:33.100
while I, and very few people paid attention to it. I was on vacation. I was paying close attention
00:34:37.920
to it. I want to make sure we get to it. The Domestic Policy Council released its review,
00:34:44.880
its report on how the Smithsonian Institution was perverting American history.
00:34:53.520
The Smithsonian, which is established by the government, it's not like technically a government
00:34:57.760
agency or department, but it kind of is. In any case, it is the repository, the official
00:35:02.560
repository of American history. And in recent years, it has been attacking America. And it's
00:35:09.360
been undermining American history, lying about American history, painting America in the worst
00:35:12.880
light possible. So here's just a little bit from the report. The Smithsonian Institution in general
00:35:17.940
and the National Museum of American History in particular should be, quote, a symbol of
00:35:22.300
inspiration and American greatness, igniting the imagination of young minds, honoring the richness
00:35:26.320
of American history and innovation, and instilling pride in the hearts of all Americans. That's what
00:35:30.540
it's for. That's its official charge. And yet, according to the report, walking through the
00:35:36.820
museum today, you will find no exhibits dedicated to presenting a general narrative of American
00:35:40.980
history or telling the story of any of our founding fathers. You go to the National Museum
00:35:46.700
of American History, you will not find any exhibits telling the story of our founding
00:35:51.620
fathers, the Second Continental Congress, the Mayflower, which is a great cigar company,
00:35:55.620
the Pilgrims, the Puritans, Washington Crossing the Delaware. No displays on any of that.
00:36:02.620
75% in early 2026 of the advertising boards placed on sidewalks around the museum
00:36:08.280
showcased exhibits dedicated to peoples and cultural traditions foreign to the United States.
00:36:13.760
At the National Museum of American History, funded and established by you, the taxpayer,
00:36:20.900
through your government, three quarters of the promotions for the exhibits are about foreign
00:36:27.360
people. They're not about American history. The leadership, by the way, this is not just an
00:36:33.460
accident. The leadership of the National Museum of American History has made it a stated goal to,
00:36:37.620
reframe the traditional celebratory narrative of the United States and transform the national
00:36:43.800
historical narrative away from America's founding and the founding fathers to a view that the
00:36:47.900
country is deeply flawed and there's ongoing oppression. So they're saying, we previously
00:36:52.100
were celebrating American history. We will not do that. We will do the opposite of that.
00:36:57.240
We want to rewrite American history. The leadership directed the staff of the museum
00:37:03.700
to remove phrases such as infinite richness and American history, even American history,
00:37:08.380
from the mission statement, changing it to rewriting, quote, the complexity of our past.
00:37:16.880
The museum, I promise I'll stop all of the examples. We could be here all day.
00:37:22.180
Calling Christopher Columbus a murderer, slaver, killer, and thief, urging for the abolition of
0.70
00:37:27.260
Columbus Day. This is your tax dollars through the Smithsonian. And then creating an upending
00:37:31.180
1620 exhibit that explicitly reframes the Christian pilgrims as colonizers, not, quote,
00:37:36.200
founders of the US nation, seeking to, quote, demonstrate that not every passenger aboard
00:37:40.360
the Mayflower was fleeing religious persecution. Reframing Thanksgiving as a, quote, national day
00:37:45.060
of mourning. I kid you not. The American holiday, now a national day of mourning, and, quote, urging
00:37:49.760
audiences to reexamine these stories and challenge their preconceptions because Plymouth is cemented
00:37:54.020
in many minds as the birthplace and central to its founding events. Therefore, we have to get rid
00:37:59.360
of it. By the way, a Mayflower is a great cigar. Okay. This is, why do I mention all of that? Not
00:38:03.840
just to get my blood pressure up in the morning. The reason I mention all of that is because
00:38:07.900
what President Trump is doing, and the libs are furious about it. You heard Whoopi Goldberg
00:38:12.640
ranting about this the other day to J.D. Vance. What the Trump administration is doing by correcting
00:38:18.480
the historical revisionism that the left has brought to places like the Smithsonian,
00:38:22.980
what Trump is doing by building new statues, including one of my great, great, great,
00:38:28.060
great-great-grandfather Simon Knowles, among other ordinary soldiers, among 250 American heroes that
00:38:34.680
are going to go into a separate garden of American heroes, while building the arch, while building
00:38:39.360
all of these new big, beautiful monuments. What President Trump is doing is something really
00:38:44.280
important. This is not just trivial. This is not just beautifying the neighborhood a little bit.
00:38:50.700
This is really important because it is one of the key roles of the president of the United States,
00:38:56.400
who is the executive branch who is the spirited part of the government not just the logical part
00:39:01.760
of the government not just the appetitive part of the government who is the spirited part of the
00:39:06.300
government to preserve and craft and develop the national mythos the sense of who we are
00:39:14.940
the the feeling of what it is to be an american what did they say about ronald reagan when you
00:39:20.000
talk to any kind of layperson you're probably a boomer at this point who lived during the reagan
00:39:24.860
presidency. You say, what was the best part of the Reagan presidency? What eight out of 10 of
00:39:30.320
those people will tell you is not that he won the Cold War or that the economy got better or this
00:39:34.060
or that. They will say, he made us feel good about being Americans again. That is the most
00:39:40.980
important legacy of Reagan. According to many people who lived through the Reagan era, but even
00:39:46.000
looking with historical retrospective, the president is supposed to make you feel good
00:39:51.820
about being American, because it's the spirited part of the government, the government which is
00:39:56.080
divided kind of like the tripartite soul, consciously so. And so it's not just the
00:40:02.580
place for an egghead, and it's not just the place for an economist. It's the place for someone
00:40:05.760
who recognizes that patriotism is essential to any political community. And by the way,
00:40:11.100
we have a lot of reason to be patriotic. You should be patriotic before you apply your reason
00:40:16.840
to American history. You don't love your country because it did this good thing.
00:40:21.180
You love your country because it's your country.
00:40:23.000
You don't love your mom because she baked you an apple pie.
00:40:30.800
then especially appreciate that she baked you an apple pie.
00:40:38.320
And we need to recognize this is not just some lower level priority
00:40:43.160
This is one of the most important things the president can do.
00:40:45.580
Okay, speaking of really important stuff in the government
00:40:49.980
government and the economy. Trump accounts are coming out. If you're having a kid this year,
00:40:53.740
you need to know about it. And also, I guess I'll make one more point on soccer. People,
00:40:57.040
I assume in the chat, people are getting a little with the soccer thing. Okay, I'll make my point
00:41:01.140
on soccer. First though, are soul ties real? Was Tucker's demonic attack story possible?
00:41:06.480
Why don't people film exorcisms? These are just a few of the questions many of you posted on X
00:41:11.060
while I was filming the latest episode of Off the Clock with Priest and Exorcist Father Dan Rehill.
00:41:18.940
has anyone ever seen Father Rehill and Glenn Beck
00:41:26.660
I could, you do bear some resemblance to Glenn.
00:42:02.880
Here are Father Rehill's answers in the full episode available now on YouTube for the unedited and ad-free version.
00:42:07.600
Watch now on Daily Wire Plus, my favorite comment yesterday.
00:42:12.120
it. This is the producers. We'll see if I agree. This is from Jules from Spotify who says,
00:42:18.180
I've never wanted to buy Good Ranchers more than I do now. I freaking love Good Ranchers, man. I
00:42:22.340
would sell it even if they were not advertisers. I would volunteer to encourage people to get
00:42:28.120
Good Ranchers. It's so good. I go to good steakhouses sometimes. I usually don't pay.
00:42:34.940
I'm a little bit cheap like that, but sometimes I get invited out to a nice steakhouse. I go.
00:42:38.840
most of the time i would rather be sitting at home eating my good ranchers i would have a
00:42:45.120
better dinner okay should i talk about i got to talk about the soccer thing i'll talk about the
00:42:49.600
soccer thing uh we gave you the world cup update some people are saying michael why aren't you
00:42:53.140
talking about the world cup it's the most important thing in sports why aren't you and
00:42:56.120
so we gave you the world cup update with former daily warrior two sports correspondent jeremy
00:43:00.360
the god king boring but let's zoom out a little bit and just talk about soccer especially because
00:43:06.740
I wake up this morning, I open up the Wall Street Journal, and I see this headline.
00:43:12.320
The greatest rivalry in sports braces for its biggest game ever. What is the greatest rivalry
00:43:19.480
in sports? What would you say is the greatest rivalry in sports? The easy answer comes to mind,
00:43:26.100
which is Yankees-Red Sox. It's one of the oldest, deepest rivalries in all of sports.
00:43:31.580
uh what else i don't know army navy so that's a great football rivalry i don't know there are
00:43:37.160
a bunch of rivalries in sports no says there are other epic rivalries from yankees red sox to
00:43:43.560
ohio state michigan yeah ohio state michigan no the wall street journal says nothing comes close
00:43:49.960
to the 64 year old world cup feud that is england versus argentina what are you talking about that's
00:43:57.640
not true. No one cares about that. Certainly no one in America cares about that. Some people
00:44:02.860
pretend to, like libs kind of pretend to care about. That isn't true. First of all, the Yankees
00:44:07.180
Red Sox rivalry is decades older than the supposed England and Argentina rivalry. And baseball is way
00:44:13.880
cooler and more important than soccer, certainly in America. And no one cares. What are you talking
00:44:18.600
about? Nothing. Listen, let me tell you, America, nothing comes close. Am I right? Am I right? I
00:44:24.240
know, we all just, we can't wait to turn on the soccer game when we get home and watch England
00:44:29.040
versus Argentina. That's just not, the gaslighting is so offensive and I deeply resent it. I deeply
00:44:36.280
resent that the Wall Street Journal would do this to me. It's just not true. I hate soccer. I really
00:44:44.140
hate it. And it's not even just a bit. I know, look, I know this, everyone's going to be tuning
00:44:48.040
out. That's why I saved it for the end of the show. Everyone in the third world is going to
00:44:52.020
be tuning out at this point. But I really hate it. It's not just like, don't yuck my yum,
1.00
00:44:58.980
you like chocolate, I like vanilla. I actively, I hate soccer. I resent that because of mass
00:45:05.740
migration and liberal cultural elites, soccer has been largely mainstreamed in the United States.
00:45:13.520
That was not true 20 years ago. Soccer was uniformly a punchline 20 years ago. It is now
00:45:18.980
because of mass migration and because of like liberal teachers and media figures has become
0.80
00:45:24.000
somewhat mainstreamed, but it's a bad sport. Like it's fine. Again, it's like fine for the Danbury
00:45:30.620
little kickers to play it. It's fine for like three-year-olds to try to figure out their motor
00:45:34.120
skills. And I get that it requires a lot of athleticism, a lot of like cardio health to run
00:45:39.120
back and forth on a field for an hour and a half. I get that or longer, but as a sport, as a game,
00:45:47.240
It's weak. It's bad. Because it's just a kind of amorphous blob. The score of a 17-hour soccer
00:45:56.600
game is like zero to one, inevitably. And it's entirely collective. The individual has very
00:46:02.780
little role in it. But me, look, I'm not some radical libertarian. I'm not some hyper-individualist,
00:46:08.260
which is why I love baseball so much. Part of the reason I love baseball so much
00:46:18.020
Baseball manages to balance the collective with the individual.
00:46:23.240
It's a team sport, and you need the team to all be cooking.
00:46:26.160
Pitcher can't throw a perfect game if the team isn't doing a great job.
00:46:31.800
So you get the showdown of the pitcher versus the batter.
00:46:39.220
You get the individualism of a boxing match or a UFC fight.
00:46:43.180
But in the context of the collective action of a hockey game or a soccer game or a basketball game, what have you, all together, it's a cerebral sport.
00:46:53.900
It requires strategy, less so now because everyone, especially the Yankees, just play home run ball.
00:46:58.120
But even with that, there's still strategy to it.
00:47:02.060
I like it personally because it's the only sport that you can get fat while playing.
00:47:12.220
it soccer is a bad sport and it is like i even if you like it i know a lot of people have
00:47:20.360
convinced themselves to like soccer and they get a kick out of the world cup being here
00:47:23.300
it is it is lib coded it is an op it is it is designed to weaken america the importation of
00:47:33.500
soccer into america is designed to weaken america no less surely than the rewriting of the exhibits
