00:00:14.860 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. 0.60

00:00:29.780 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

00:04:36.140 should be not to tear the fence down.

00:04:38.700 You have to first figure out what the fence is for.

00:04:40.460 And in this case, daylight savings time

00:04:42.040 and standard time and changing the clocks,

00:04:43.800 it all actually serves a purpose.

00:04:46.960 And we should not do it.

00:04:49.060 I hate it. 0.97

00:04:49.480 I want the Senate to kill this bill.

00:04:50.860 Tom Cotton in the Senate killed the bill

00:04:52.140 last time this came up. 0.99

00:04:53.400 Kill that bill. 0.99

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.

00:05:17.160 This does not make sense.

00:05:18.960 Senate, kill this bill. 0.99

00:05:20.000 I hate that. 1.00

00:05:21.120 We need whimsy.

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.

00:05:29.680 President Trump called for this.

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

00:05:57.000 Lindsey Graham was not married.

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.

00:06:19.180 That's all that really matters to me.

00:06:20.500 The ideology doesn't really matter.

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.

00:09:57.960 Grab your government if you want to.

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.

00:10:34.660 And they have a ton of contingencies. 0.62

00:10:36.280 They've been preparing for these strikes for years and years and years. 0.90

00:10:38.740 And so Iran plays its card.

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

00:10:48.160 Iran violates the ceasefire. 0.80

00:10:49.180 That catches us up to today. 1.00

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.

00:12:18.840 That is why I always have a lot of respect

00:12:21.380 for young people who don't just want to talk

00:12:23.260 about public policy.

00:12:24.040 They want to understand it well enough to shape it.

00:12:27.320 One reason that I want to tell you

00:12:29.380 about Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

00:12:31.800 If you're interested in government,

00:12:33.680 national security, public service,

00:12:35.200 or simply want to understand how ideas

00:12:37.180 become real world policy,

00:12:38.960 this is a program worth exploring.

00:12:41.280 What is he?

00:12:42.120 Man, I wish I had staff members

00:12:43.800 who went to the Pepperdine School of Public Policy

00:12:45.820 instead of whatever this is,

00:12:47.520 instead of whatever I actually got.

00:12:49.480 It's one of the all-time great public policy schools.

00:12:52.720 I've been a fan of theirs for a decade now.

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.

00:13:01.040 It's very, very important.

00:13:02.660 And that way you can end up

00:13:04.140 as a very serious, important statesman and policy thinker

00:13:07.460 and not doing weird schticks on my show.

00:13:12.140 If you've been asking yourself

00:13:13.520 how you can contribute something meaningful,

00:13:15.060 not just comment from the sidelines.

00:13:17.280 This is a program worth looking into.

00:13:19.400 Learn more at go.pepperdine.edu slash dailywire.

00:13:21.620 That's go.pepperdine.edu slash dailywire. 0.96

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

00:13:31.840 and then they mix it all around or something,

00:13:33.940 and then they pay unscrupulous, unethical scientists

00:13:37.600 to deliver them a baby. 1.00

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.

00:15:13.660 I'm not doing that. 1.00

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

00:15:29.360 He needed a little oxygens.

00:15:30.560 That was a little scary.

00:15:31.660 But then baby was 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

00:16:02.920 We went like, that was real fast.

00:16:04.760 That was real fast.

00:16:06.160 So that obviously is ghastly, horrifying.

00:16:08.940 Those men are absolutely nauseous.

00:16:12.140 However, however,

00:16:14.540 I want to give them a little bit of charity,

00:16:16.760 a little bit of the benefit of the doubt here.

00:16:18.260 At the second stage of the story,

00:16:19.940 after they fail to murder,

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

00:16:26.380 At that point, they say,

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

00:16:38.640 I'd be nervous too. 1.00

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

00:19:15.340 A transgender cop car. 1.00

00:19:17.720 Look at that. 0.99

00:19:23.420 Are you guys cops or you just identify as cops?

00:19:29.660 That's none of your business.

00:19:30.920 And I'm hands free.

00:19:32.240 So there's nothing you can do.

00:19:34.060 I'm just asking you a question, Sergeant.

00:19:35.400 Are you cops?

00:19:35.700 Are you cops?

00:19:36.440 Do you identify as cops?

00:19:37.120 Or do you 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.

00:19:54.140 Okay, so make no mistake about what this is.

00:19:56.520 One, it's really, really funny.

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?

00:20:04.900 Very funny. Well done.

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.

00:21:59.280 I think the drama can be a distraction.

00:22:01.640 This issue is so important that I think we need to hash it out on air.

00:22:07.160 We'll get to that in one second.

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

00:22:21.220 this country.

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.

00:22:35.660 One reason that I'm proud to support Preborn.

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.

00:23:23.600 Or give securely at preborn.com slash Knowles, preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S.

00:23:27.940 Every gift is tax deductible.

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

00:24:44.860 You may remember old colonialism, Michael

00:24:47.360 Where wealthy countries with good ideas

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

00:25:56.820 bombing the shit out of the ladder. 0.95

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,

00:27:23.780 is almost as rich as Cabo Verde,

00:27:26.460 the idyllic island off the coast of Senegal,

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,

00:28:11.160 who again has a GDP lower

00:28:12.740 than the actual annual revenue of Buc-ee's. 0.68

00:28:16.080 And maybe that's the whole moral

00:28:17.380 of this 2026 World Cup, Michael.

00:28:19.540 If a well-loved American gas station

00:28:21.620 outperforms entire nations in value creation

00:28:24.100 and brisket smoking,

00:28:25.760 why are we so eager to embrace a competition

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

00:28:33.800 or the Democratic Republic of Congo?

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,

00:29:00.200 really dazzling

00:29:02.460 update. I need a little personal

00:29:04.200 color, though. Which team

00:29:06.340 are you rooting for?

00:29:11.220 Jeremy the God King

00:29:12.180 Boring, everybody. Former Daily Wire 2

00:29:14.120 sports correspondent. I personally

00:29:16.480 am rooting for the Danbury Little Kickers.

00:29:18.560 I think they're my

00:29:19.940 top soccer team of them all.

00:29:22.100 Really important. I just thought, look, I don't

00:29:24.380 usually get into the drama. I don't.

00:29:26.660 But I felt we had to bring Jeremy

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.

00:40:24.960 You love your mom because she's your mom.

00:40:26.660 And you, in this loving relationship,

00:40:30.800 then especially appreciate that she baked you an apple pie.

00:40:33.040 But the love comes first.

00:40:34.060 The patriotism comes first.

00:40:35.480 Trump is doing a lot to restore that.

00:40:37.100 And we need to encourage that.

00:40:38.320 And we need to recognize this is not just some lower level priority

00:40:41.300 below the economy or below foreign policy.

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.

00:41:15.400 Check out this teaser.

00:41:17.480 Glenn Diagram says,

00:41:18.940 has anyone ever seen Father Rehill and Glenn Beck

00:41:21.860 in the same room before?

00:41:24.460 Do you, I get...

00:41:25.700 No.

00:41:26.660 I could, you do bear some resemblance to Glenn.

00:41:29.600 I don't think so.

00:41:30.320 You don't, no.

00:41:30.860 I see where the commenter is coming from.

00:41:34.100 I was told at the last conference I was at

00:41:35.800 that I look like the British baking man.

00:41:38.680 I don't know his name.

00:41:39.920 Anybody know his name?

00:41:41.040 A baking show.

00:41:42.320 The great...

00:41:43.240 It's Hollywood.

00:41:44.040 Paul Hollywood, maybe?

00:41:45.040 Okay.

00:41:45.720 Now I can't unsee it.

00:41:46.980 So now you're the great British bake-off guy.

00:41:48.740 Okay.

00:41:49.160 All right.

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.

00:42:10.960 I didn't pick the comment.

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

00:46:13.180 is because it's sort of the anti-soccer.

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.

00:46:29.800 But it's also individual.

00:46:31.800 So you get the showdown of the pitcher versus the batter.

00:46:34.800 That is the individual brawl.

00:46:36.600 That's the gladiatorial combat.

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.

00:47:00.880 It's a little more cerebral.

00:47:02.060 I like it personally because it's the only sport that you can get fat while playing.

00:47:05.320 But it does require actually some athleticism.

00:47:07.740 It's an American sport.

00:47:10.060 It's not a foreign import like soccer is.

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

00:47:39.100 at the Smithsonian Institution

00:47:40.300 are designed to weaken America.

00:47:41.840 It's cultural and it's a little nuanced

00:47:43.780 and the libs are better

00:47:45.260 at doing arts and culture

00:47:46.440 than conservatives are,

00:47:47.340 so we sometimes miss it.

00:47:50.120 But I hate it.

00:47:55.100 The rest of the show continues now.

00:47:56.840 It's work from home Wednesday.

00:47:57.740 I didn't assign anything,

00:47:58.540 so we'll have a lot of fun.
