00:00:00.000 A new morning consult poll commissioned by Politico, a left-wing outlet, has terrible
00:00:05.160 news for Democrats. Republicans are trouncing them on almost all of the important issues
00:00:11.680 heading into the midterms. On handling inflation, voters favor Republicans over Democrats 46 to 32
00:00:18.900 percent. On the economy at large, voters trust Republicans 47 to 36 percent. National security,
00:00:27.020 Republicans win 48 to 35 percent. Immigration, Republicans win 45 to 38 percent. On guns,
00:00:37.480 Republicans take it by the same margin. And on energy, the parties are evenly split.
00:00:43.420 But even those numbers don't tell the whole story. According to MSNBC, not exactly a conservative
00:00:49.260 outlet, Democrats are in, quote, shellacking territory on all three aspects of their midterm
00:00:56.620 meter. Presidential approval rating down at 40 percent. Belief that the country is on the wrong
00:01:02.480 track. That's all the way at 71 percent. And the generic ballot, which has Republicans up 2 percent.
00:01:09.380 Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually pretty significant when you look at all the races.
00:01:13.080 Even that doesn't tell the whole story. Because when you substitute in actual Republican candidates
00:01:18.740 for the issues questions and the generic Republicans in these polls, the numbers look even better for
00:01:25.580 Republicans. A new poll of the Florida gubernatorial race has Republican Governor Ron DeSantis up 16
00:01:33.040 points on his nearest challenger. That would be the former Republican, current Democrat,
00:01:38.480 Charlie Crist. DeSantis is up 19 points on his next nearest challenger, Democrat Annette Taddeo.
00:01:45.600 And he's up a whopping 24 points on the Democrats' former favorite challenger,
00:01:50.820 Nikki Freed. If nothing substantially changes between now and November, the elections are slated
00:01:58.480 to be an electoral bloodbath for Democrats. Republicans should run away with them by every 0.82
00:02:05.540 meaningful metric if the elections are fair and square. It's a big if. Why aren't Democrats changing
00:02:16.260 strategy on energy, national security, immigration, the economy, everything else? They're doubling down
00:02:22.520 on all the same policies that are killing them in the polls, which can mean only one of three things.
00:02:28.280 One, they don't want to win. Seems unlikely. Two, they don't believe the polls. I guess that's possible.
00:02:35.700 Or three, most disconcerting of all, they think they can win without the votes. I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:41.500 This is The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from
00:02:52.540 Eric Weininger, who says, as a Washburn University student, I've been hoping you'd stop by eventually.
00:02:58.280 It was very hard to find information about your speech. We look forward to having you. I know I am
00:03:04.580 speaking at Washburn University tonight in Topeka, Kansas. This has caused something of a hullabaloo.
00:03:11.500 Not only are there planned protests, I guess, from some of the radical left-wing students,
00:03:16.840 but the president of the university, Jerry Farley, has actually sent out an email condemning me
00:03:23.400 preemptively before I said anything, before I even arrived to give the speech. This is the man
00:03:28.560 who personally invited me to come speak. He signed the contract to invite me to speak.
00:03:34.080 Today, which today apparently is Trans Visibility Day. He invited me on this day, and now he's trying
00:03:42.120 to run away from that and hide that fact and say that this is a horrible, terrible thing that I've
00:03:47.700 provoked myself. No, I was invited to come speak. I was invited to come speak on the issue of
00:03:52.560 transgenderism. I look forward to doing that. Actually, after President Farley at Washburn sent out 0.99
00:03:58.880 this email condemning me, not exactly hospitable behavior, after he did that, I made a proposal.
00:04:06.460 I said, listen, President Farley, if you think that my views are condemnable and terrible and that I
00:04:10.980 spread, in his words, hate and misinformation, well, then I'm willing to share the stage tonight.
00:04:17.120 President Farley, if you are watching this, I am more than happy to share the stage tonight
00:04:21.900 at your university, and you can cite specific examples of what you consider to be the hate
00:04:28.140 and misinformation that I've spread. You can cite those examples, and we can discuss them.
00:04:33.280 If the issue that you've got is with the thesis of my speech, which is simply that boys are not girls,
00:04:40.580 why, you can present your alternative thesis, and we can debate that as well. I'll debate the side that
00:04:46.560 boys are not girls. You can debate the side that boys are girls, I guess, and we can have a respectful
00:04:52.600 and civil debate. This is the spirit of free exchange and an open academic forum. I would be
00:05:01.580 more than happy to do that. Or President Farley can cower in his administrative office and defame me
00:05:08.660 without stating any examples whatsoever and try to run away from the fact that he's the one who
00:05:13.720 invited me in the first place. The choice is absolutely his. I have a speech prepared to give
00:05:18.300 this evening on Transvisibility Day, but I'm more than happy to throw that speech out the window and
00:05:24.360 have an open debate on this question. Choice is yours, President Farley. If you're in the Washburn
00:05:28.740 community, please feel free to pass my invitation along to him. We've got to protect our academic
00:05:36.600 discourse. We've got to protect our schools. We've got to protect our homes, I say, which is why you need

00:06:54.420 away with them. That's a big if, isn't it? You know, part of this show was censored yesterday.
00:06:59.700 The show was not censored on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, on the audio podcast
00:07:05.000 platforms. The show was not censored on the Daily Wire. So if you're a Daily Wire member,
00:07:09.160 you got the full show. But if you were on some of the social media platforms, YouTube, Facebook,
00:07:15.600 this show was in part censored. Not through my own desire, not through the desire of the Daily Wire,
00:07:22.800 but because this show fell afoul of the guidelines. You see, there was an article published in Real
00:07:30.940 Clear Politics. This is a very mainstream news outlet citing a peer-reviewed scientific study
00:07:38.000 of the 2020 election that raised some questions about the possibility of voter fraud and a stolen
00:07:48.160 election. And it was an academic analysis. It's peer-reviewed. It checked all the boxes that we're
00:07:53.320 told by the left we need to check. It was highly scientific. But because it contradicted the leftist
00:07:59.940 narrative about the 2020 election, namely that you're not allowed to raise any questions really
00:08:04.640 whatsoever, certainly about the outcome of the election, you're simply not allowed to suggest
00:08:09.380 that maybe something was off there. That my reading, this peer-reviewed scientific study,
00:08:16.640 fell afoul of the algorithm. We were not allowed to do it. So one, it's a reminder that if you want
00:08:21.420 to get the full show, you got to subscribe to the audio podcast, or better yet, subscribe to Daily Wire.
00:08:25.100 But two, it shows you just the degree of censorship that we've got in this country right now. And we're
00:08:35.160 not just talking about censorship of obscenity, censorship of threats, censorship of things that
00:08:40.560 are ordinarily censored. The point of the First Amendment is to protect political speech.
00:08:45.060 And here we are seeing the entire liberal apparatus censoring very relevant, very important political
00:08:50.960 speech. So we're not allowed to do that. I would not do it. I can't do it today. I'm not
00:08:55.580 raising the question of whether or not the election was stolen. If you want to raise that question
00:09:00.000 yourself, I would recommend you go check out this paper. You can read about it at RealClearPolitics,
00:09:04.940 or go listen to the audio version of yesterday's show. At the very least, though, what we are allowed
00:09:09.140 to say, according to our big tech overlords, is that the election was rigged. Meaning, we're not
00:09:16.980 talking at all about whether it affected the results of the election. But we can at least acknowledge
00:09:21.200 that the Democrats changed the rules before the election in most states, in some cases, in a way
00:09:28.340 that was unconstitutional, like in Pennsylvania, where the Constitution prohibited widespread mail-in
00:09:34.500 ballots, and yet they did it anyway. That was one way that they rigged the election. Another way is that
00:09:40.200 big tech and the media censored relevant information about the election, most notably the New York Post
00:09:46.100 story, on Hunter Biden's laptop. Hunter Biden's laptop was discovered at a repair shop. There was
00:09:52.500 a ton of compromise on it, a ton of evidence of a whole slew of crimes, personal crimes, sexual crimes,
00:09:58.460 financial crimes. And this was blacked out. You wouldn't hear about it in the mainstream media.
00:10:03.540 You weren't allowed to post about it on social media. You weren't allowed to privately message it
00:10:07.920 on social media. And now, how many days has it been? It's been 532 days since that story
00:10:15.900 broke, since that story was denied by the establishment media. Now, 532 days later,
00:10:22.340 CNN is admitting, okay, it was real.
00:10:24.800 So there's a lot of issues that the Justice Department has looked into, including, of course,
00:10:29.600 this laptop that on the right wing has featured a lot of stories about Hunter Biden. We know the FBI
00:10:36.700 has possession of it and that they believe it is his laptop, that the contents of it are his.
00:10:42.740 Thank you, CNN. Thank you for telling us, 532 days later, what we've all known from the beginning.
00:10:50.540 Namely, that the laptop is obviously real. It's full of a ton of photos of Hunter Biden.
00:10:56.240 It's got all his photos, all of these. Frankly, the emails are more damning than the photos because
00:11:00.900 it shows extraordinary political corruption, financial crimes, not just from Hunter,
00:11:04.820 but implicating the whole Biden family. And yet, when the story broke, we were told
00:11:11.620 that this was disinformation, Russian propaganda and disinformation. Here's an article, article in
00:11:19.480 Breitbart, 15 media personalities who immediately came out and said this was a total lie. MSNBC executive
00:11:27.000 producer, Kyle Griffin, said, this is not censorship. Facebook is under no obligation to allow a disputed
00:11:36.500 report that appears to contain disinformation to spread on their platform. So the executive producer
00:11:41.420 at MSNBC said, oh, it's really good in the weeks before this presidential election that we're censoring
00:11:45.980 damaging content about one of the candidates. The publisher of Inc. said basically the same thing.
00:11:51.720 No serious journalist should fall for this disinformation. Wajahat Ali at the Daily Beast.
00:11:57.400 This is Russian disinformation meant to harm our democracy, shouldn't be given platforms.
00:12:02.020 Truth or Fiction dot com, Brooke Binkowski. It's easy to see who's committed to pushing known Kremlin
00:12:08.260 disinformation. It's known. Not even that she didn't know if it was accurate or not. She knew for a fact
00:12:13.360 it was disinformation. NBC News did the same thing. They're hacked materials, part of a disinformation
00:12:19.820 campaign. Ben Rhodes at MSNBC. It's disinformation. Washington Post's Max Boot. He's a fake Republican
00:12:26.560 who, he's a Democrat, but he pretends to be a Republican at the Washington Post. He said,
00:12:31.120 the right to spread false Russian disinformation about American political leaders on social media
00:12:35.320 is not the hill I would choose to die on. So he's making the affirmative claim. This is false.
00:12:40.640 The laptop, the hard drive, it's false. It's not real. The list goes on and on. We don't have time
00:12:46.440 to go through all of them. And they were completely wrong. They were, at the very least,
00:12:51.620 they were completely wrong. Probably they were lying. And now 532 days later, after Biden's been
00:12:56.960 in office for more than a year, now we can admit, absolutely, it's true. We're still not allowed to
00:13:02.180 suggest that maybe the election result was not totally legit. We're not allowed. That's why I'm
00:13:08.220 not suggesting it. That's why I would never do such a thing at YouTube. Though you might consider
00:13:14.800 reading about this on RealClearPolitics raises some interesting questions. The issue is not to
00:13:19.600 relitigate 2020. That's over. I don't think that we're going to go to some court and finally have
00:13:27.280 all of this evidence that, by the way, you could only get through investigations, through subpoena
00:13:34.120 powers. It could not possibly have been done before January of 2021. This is why sometimes you'll hear,
00:13:41.020 all the courts threw out these questions because there was no evidence. Well, it would have taken
00:13:46.500 time to get the evidence and you would have had to subpoena that and the courts didn't want to get
00:13:49.420 involved. Okay. It's not about relitigating that. I don't think President Trump is going to walk into
00:13:53.980 office again in the middle of 2022. But the reason it matters is, what about the 2022 elections? What
00:14:00.740 about the 2024 elections? If there are structural problems here in our elections, if people don't have
00:14:07.820 faith in our election system, which by the way, no one does. Democrats don't. Republicans don't.
00:14:13.760 Huge proportions of both parties think it's rigged and that people are cheating. Well, if we don't have
00:14:19.100 faith in that, why do we think it's going to get better? Republicans are crowing about these poll
00:14:23.240 numbers. Well, the poll numbers only matter if we can trust the elections. We've got to stay
00:14:29.380 healthy as a democracy. We've got to stay healthy as individuals, which is why you need Tessa Mays.

00:15:44.400 not just in this country, but around the world. We're talking about how the president of Washburn
00:15:50.420 University is doing everything he can to keep me off of that campus, sending out the email
00:15:55.960 saying that he's condemning me before I even speak, saying that the words that I'm spreading,
00:16:01.500 that boys aren't girls, are misinformation. It's a public university, so he has very little
00:16:05.320 recourse. He can't actually keep me off the campus. But you're seeing this at universities in America.
00:16:11.020 You're seeing this on big tech and throughout the establishment media. I don't even want to call
00:16:15.440 them mainstream. They're not particularly mainstream at all. But so much so that a major political story
00:16:20.560 before an election, presidential election, was completely censored. Well, it's happening around the
00:16:24.240 world, throughout the West. Germany has just made it illegal to express support for Russia
00:16:31.240 in the Ukraine war. This from the German Ministry of the Interior, quote, Russia's war of aggression
00:16:39.240 against Ukraine is a criminal offense. Anyone publicly approving the war may be liable to
00:16:43.460 prosecution in Germany. This applies to using the Z symbol. Two, German security authorities are
00:16:49.100 keeping an eye on the use of the symbol. I'm not saying people should support Russia. I don't think
00:16:57.600 they should support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I'm not saying that people should 0.98
00:17:05.020 criticize Ukraine. Obviously, Ukraine's a corrupt country too. There are criticisms to be made,
00:17:10.520 but I'm not saying that at this moment, when Russia's invading Ukraine, people should be focusing
00:17:15.520 on the criticisms of Ukraine, though there may be a lot. I'm just wondering, why does this have to be
00:17:21.700 illegal? Why does Germany have to make it illegal to criticize Ukraine or to express support for
00:17:32.040 Russia? What political goal is achieved by that? I am not a free speech absolutist. I wrote a whole book
00:17:38.660 called Speechless about the limits to free speech, the just and prudent limits to free speech that our
00:17:44.300 founding fathers supported, that have existed throughout all of American history. I am far from a free
00:17:48.820 speech absolutist. But why do you need to make this illegal? Does it not suggest an extraordinary
00:17:56.740 weakness in your country, in your political order, that you need to ban expressing support for a country?
00:18:06.120 Support that doesn't even seem to be particularly widespread. This is how I feel about Washburn.
00:18:11.340 Do you need to, and not just Washburn, I'm talking about all these other schools, ironically, or
00:18:17.080 coincidentally rather, the last time I flew into Kansas City, also to give a speech about how men
00:18:21.740 are not women. I was attacked and then the president of the university apologized, not to me, but to the 0.98
00:18:26.640 students that I was invited in the first place, for saying that men are not women. I'm not saying there
00:18:31.140 can't be limits on speech. I think there should be limits on obscenity. I think there should be limits
00:18:34.240 on fraud. I think there should be limits on fighting words. I think there should be limits.
00:18:37.060 William F. Buckley Jr., the founder of the modern conservative movement, he said that he saw no
00:18:42.040 reason to protect the liberties of a communist or of a Nazi. Fair enough. For much of American 0.95
00:18:48.580 history, at least for a lot of the 20th century, it was illegal to be a communist and advocate for
00:18:55.060 the overthrow of the American system of government. That was illegal. You could be prosecuted, and many
00:18:59.360 people were. But why do we have to ban the suggestion that men are not women? Why does Germany 0.79
00:19:09.740 have to outlaw expressing support? I don't support the war, but why did they have to outlaw expressing
00:19:17.720 some support for some war involving countries that are not Germany? Why? Seems pretty weak.
00:19:24.420 There's some good news for free speech coming out of Finland. The court has just cleared a finish
00:19:29.260 official of hate speech. This Finnish official had the Finnish parliamentarian Paivi Rasanan. I'm
00:19:37.340 definitely mispronouncing that. And Bishop Johanna Pohola. They sound sort of Polynesian rather than
00:19:43.860 Finnish, but I don't speak Finnish. They expressed the Christian view of sex and marriage. And because
00:19:50.000 they expressed the Christian view of sex and marriage, they were accused of hate speech. And they
00:19:54.360 were brought up on charges for that. Luckily, they just won. The Alliance Defending Freedom
00:19:59.400 helped get them out. And frankly, even, this went much further even than talking about sex and marriage.
00:20:07.280 The prosecution in this case alleged that the use of the word sin can be, quote, harmful
00:20:13.620 and demanded heavy fines. You're not allowed to say the word sin, according to this Finnish prosecutor.
00:20:21.080 Now we see what this is really about. This is not about free speech versus censorship.
00:20:30.760 This is the thesis of my book, Speechless. This is not about free speech versus censorship.
00:20:35.080 All societies are going to censor certain things. All societies are going to have standards.
00:20:38.760 All societies are going to have taboos, things that you're not allowed to say.
00:20:41.700 That's inevitable. That's been true everywhere in the world. And that's been especially true in America.
00:20:46.040 The question is, what are you allowed to say? What are you allowed to express? What standard are we
00:20:54.200 going to hold? The court here in Finland, thankfully, has made the right decision. But the argument against
00:21:07.260 it was that this was going to result in a secular blasphemy law. It's kind of a contradiction in terms
00:21:14.820 blasphemy is when you speak in an irreligious way, speak out against God. And secular blasphemy is 0.86
00:21:22.080 speaking out against God in a world that imagines that there is no God. We've had blasphemy laws in
00:21:28.780 America. For a lot of American history, there were blasphemy laws. No one ever thought that it
00:21:31.780 contradicted the First Amendment. The question is, what are you allowed to say? What are those
00:21:39.920 standards going to be? And so when we argue for these things, it's not enough to merely argue for
00:21:44.940 total free speech. Say whatever you want, do whatever you want. That's never existed anywhere.
00:21:48.720 It's never going to exist. That's the mechanism by which the left took over the whole culture.
00:21:52.440 What you have to argue is an actual substantive vision, which is what we're going to be doing
00:21:55.980 tonight at Washburn, by the way. We're going to be arguing not just for free speech in the abstract.
00:21:59.680 We're going to be arguing for a substantive vision of what sex means, of what human nature is,
00:22:07.020 of what our relationship to our bodies and the physical world is. We're going to be
00:22:11.160 articulating a way to end this transgenderism madness once and for all. So I hope you tune in. 1.00
00:22:18.760 We're going to be streaming it. I don't know if it's at the Daily Wire. I think it might be
00:22:21.860 at the YAF YouTube channel, YAF TV. That'll be at Washburn University. People have very thin skin
00:22:28.360 these days, and some people are defending that. In the New York Times, Roxanne Gay, an opinion writer,
00:22:35.500 is defending thin skin. The headline is, Jada Pinkett Smith shouldn't have to take a joke, 0.72
00:22:40.680 neither should you. Defending Will Smith and opposing Chris Rock. But she says this is not
00:22:48.160 a defense of Will Smith, who does not need me to defend him. Instead, this is a defense of thin skin.
00:22:56.180 She says that in our culture, we're told we need to grow thick skin, be able to take criticism,
00:23:03.660 and certainly be able to take a joke, and not cry and whine and scream and go smack people over it.
00:23:09.180 And that's terrible, because this benefits the oppressors, and this upholds white supremacy,
00:23:15.600 and this is especially terrible to black women. Yes, she says, these are all public figures at the
00:23:22.380 Oscars. An imperviousness to criticism and ridicule is a necessity for celebrities, but no matter how
00:23:28.620 thick your skin is or how much wealth, fame, and power you are cosseted, being the butt of a joke
00:23:33.580 isn't fun. Sometimes it's intolerable when you are constantly a target of jokes, insults,
00:23:38.020 incivility, and worse, as most black women are, she says. The skin we've spent a lifetime 1.00
00:23:43.400 thickening can come apart. We're only human, and so too are the people who love us. So it is a defense
00:23:47.720 of Will Smith smacking Chris Rock over the joke. Chris Rock, black too, of course, but I guess that
00:23:52.200 it's an inconvenient fact for this article. And she says that especially black women should not 0.99
00:23:56.740 have to take a joke. You do not need thick skin in defense of thin skin. For everyone? I don't think so.
00:24:07.080 I don't think that this woman would defend thin skin for conservatives, for straight white men, 0.94
00:24:14.320 Christian men. I suspect she would not defend that. I know she would not defend that because 0.97
00:24:20.980 the New York Times attacks conservatives every day, specifically straight white men, attacks
00:24:25.920 Christians every day. Mocks us for our views of sex, certainly for our views of religion, generally for 1.00
00:24:35.480 our views of society. Mocks us all the time. The left calls us deplorable, irredeemable, bitter,
00:24:39.900 clinging idiots. Do we have the privilege of the thin skin there? No, of course not. What the left
00:24:46.780 says is we should be ostracized from society. So it's only a defense of thin skin for certain people
00:24:55.080 because it's not really a defense of thin skin at all. It's the same old friend versus enemy identity
00:25:02.160 politics that we always get from the left. The question is not, should you have thick,
00:25:06.780 which you should have thick skin, by the way. Be strong. Fortitude is a virtue, okay? Weakness is
00:25:11.060 not a virtue. Fortitude is a virtue. I know we don't talk about the virtues a lot these days,
00:25:14.680 but it's good. Be strong. Don't be weak. Toughen up. To quote Don Corleone when Johnny Fontaine is
00:25:20.480 crying at him, Godfather, I don't know what to do. You're going to act like a man. That's what you're
00:25:24.020 going to do. Come on, toughen up, buttercup. But what this woman is saying here is,
00:25:29.920 conservatives, you need to toughen up. We're going to insult you. We're going to belittle you.
00:25:34.700 We're going to try to make you second class citizens in society. And we're also going to 1.00
00:25:40.620 protect the left from any criticism that you might have. That's a political strategy. And it's not to
00:25:46.820 do with censorship or free speech. In the abstract, it's not to do with being very sensitive or being
00:25:53.920 able to take a joke. The question is, who has those rights? And the question is, what kind of
00:25:59.580 speech is going to be protected?

00:26:30.900 In a world of woke razors sold by men who cave to the demands of social justice warriors,
00:26:37.260 you can now use a razor that pivots but doesn't cave. Yes, I'm talking about the Daily Wire and our
00:26:43.440 new razor company, Jeremy's Razors. If you're not one of the 45,000 Americans who already purchased
00:26:48.740 Jeremy's Razors, then head on over to ihateharrys.com to get your founder's kit and subscription
00:26:55.420 now. The launch of our new razor company has been extremely successful because of this tremendously
00:27:01.320 positive response. We're actively working to expand Jeremy's Razors team in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:27:05.820 Specifically, Jeremy's Razors is currently looking for an executive vice president as well as a
00:27:09.460 director of consumer experience. This is a huge opportunity not only to sell razors but to be on
00:27:14.800 the front lines of taking back power from woke corporations, the sort of thing we have been
00:27:18.720 calling for for years. If you're interested, head on over to dailywire.com slash careers. This is
00:27:24.580 your chance to join us and help to run the razor company that has sprouted up overnight, taken the
00:27:32.100 country by storm, and stands to play a really important role in our cultural battles. We'll be
00:27:36.120 right back with a lot more. The New York Times says that we do not need to get a thick skin and take
00:27:55.220 criticism lying down. No, no. In defense of thin skin, we can all be really, really sensitive and we should
00:28:02.280 not take any criticism. Meanwhile, at UCLA, the race and equity director is openly wishing for
00:28:10.480 Clarence Thomas's death. Jonathan Perkins, director for race and equity, whatever that means, at the
00:28:17.500 University of California, Los Angeles, tweeted his wish that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would
00:28:22.900 die after he was hospitalized. Quote, this whole rule that we're not to wish ill on people is silly.
00:28:28.400 Uncle Thomas, they call him an Uncle Tom because although he's a black guy, the left refuses to
00:28:34.060 call him a black guy because Clarence Thomas has the audacity to think for himself and not do exactly
00:28:38.740 what he's told by leftists. So because of that, because he has fortitude and intellect, he's not a
00:28:43.520 real black guy, according to them. He's a white guy. Uncle Thomas is a sexist token who's committed
00:28:48.560 himself to making his all share in he and his treasonous wife's misery. In he and his, I don't,
00:28:57.140 I don't, that doesn't sound super grammatical, but I don't expect much from directors of equity and race
00:29:01.180 and inclusion or whatever fake job he has. I'm over it. He's bad. He's literally endangered lives of
00:29:07.320 countless of this country's vulnerable populations. Literally. He's literally done it.
00:29:14.060 Should Clarence Thomas have to take this lying down? Should Clarence Thomas have to grow a thick skin?
00:29:18.560 I suspect the New York Times would say, yes, he did. Not only does he need a thick skin,
00:29:24.060 they'd probably agree with the director of race and equity and inclusion and diversity and gumdrops
00:29:28.880 and rainbows over at UCLA, who is openly calling for this man's death. Shows you too, just how
00:29:36.700 meaningless these slogans are. The left always embraces these slogans, openness, diversity,
00:29:42.500 liberation. You know, they just, they use these really vague to free love. What does free love
00:29:48.060 means? Just screwing around whoever you want and leaving them in the lurch and then just not having
00:29:51.680 any responsibility. But it sounds really nice, right? Love and freedom and openness and diversity. It
00:29:56.700 sounds really nice. Well, so the director of equity, equity, race, inclusion, diversity is just this
00:30:02.880 vicious, bitter man who's calling for the death of a Supreme Court judge because he disagrees with him.
00:30:09.880 Um, does Clarence Thomas need to, to grow a thick skin? I guess, I guess he does according to these
00:30:16.980 people. If you didn't realize it already, I think these sorts of comments should show it to you.
00:30:23.420 This diversity, equity, inclusion, all this crap that has taken over the country in recent years,
00:30:28.860 it has to go away. We have to ban it. We've got to get rid of it. It's horrible. It's terrible for
00:30:35.400 companies, for schools, for the country at large. It's leading to extraordinary racial division,
00:30:41.740 sexual radicalism. It's just bad and none of this should exist. The people who hold these jobs are
00:30:47.480 complete idiots. They're, these people in a different life would not be qualified to mop up
00:30:53.760 after the elephants at the circus. Okay. These are very dumb people with very low IQs and very
00:30:58.760 little education. And they're making six figure salaries because they're cashing in on political
00:31:04.120 correctness and leftist politics. And the left is willing to hire them to do it because these are
00:31:08.360 the foot soldiers. These are the guys who are enforcing the left's regime, not just in the government,
00:31:13.540 but in corporations and in the media and everywhere else. Okay. So they're, they're willing to do it.
00:31:18.420 But we need to completely get rid of this. We need to send these, these lowlifes back to the 1.00
00:31:23.720 unemployment line where they belong. The, the, no one has benefited from this. And some conservatives
00:31:29.320 want to play nice and they want to work on, well, maybe we can, we'll try to meet you halfway. No,
00:31:34.520 there's no meeting halfway. The, the equity, inclusion, diversity, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
00:31:40.280 DEI needs to D-I-E as far as I'm concerned as a, as a political movement and as a corporate and
00:31:46.160 professional movement in this country. It's absolutely terrible. And one university is
00:31:49.660 doing just that. Point Park University is just canceling their office of equity and inclusion.
00:31:57.980 This is a private college in Pittsburgh and they said they're just shutting it down. Good stuff.
00:32:02.320 Good on you, Point Park University. Absolutely wonderful. What, what does the, the equity,
00:32:09.480 inclusion, diversity office, what do they even do? Here's the mission statement from Point Park
00:32:13.340 University. Quote, the mission is to wholeheartedly foster institutional equity, diversity, and
00:32:22.020 inclusion by raising awareness and implementing strategies and tools to shift mindsets and align
00:32:28.160 all members of the campus community with creating a culture of appreciation, acceptance, and inclusion
00:32:34.720 for all individuals at every level of the institution. I, I am willing to offer a lot of money. I'd probably
00:32:46.940 go up to, to five figures, six figures even for someone who can translate that into English. And I'd be
00:32:53.100 willing to wager that kind of money because it's not possible because it doesn't mean anything. None,
00:32:57.800 it doesn't, it doesn't, it's just corporate slogan speak gobbledygook. Foster equity, diversity,
00:33:06.080 and inclusion. What does that mean? By raising awareness, that's actually a communist term,
00:33:13.900 raising awareness. It really took on a, a popularity during the 1970s with the second wave feminists who 1.00
00:33:20.620 would have consciousness raising activities. And that comes from, uh, Marxists in the early 20th
00:33:25.920 century and even a little earlier than that. So raising awareness is just another version of
00:33:29.860 raising consciousness and implementing strategies to shift mindsets, shift mindsets to what?
00:33:35.140 And align members with a culture of appreciation and acceptance for all individuals. Oh, for all
00:33:43.080 individuals? What about Clarence Thomas? Doesn't sound like diversity, equity, and inclusion wants to
00:33:47.400 include or appreciate Clarence Thomas. They want him to die. It doesn't mean any, it's just, this is what,
00:33:53.640 this is what they say. The mission of the office of diversity, equity, inclusion is to be really
00:33:57.080 good and nice and really, it's really good. And we're really, really good. Do what we say.
00:34:02.880 Well, what, what is that? What is that? It's, it's to push radical leftism. Get rid of this stuff.
00:34:10.280 Get rid, I, I do not know that I could send my child to an institution, whether it's a school,
00:34:17.400 you know, elementary school, whether it's a college that has a department of diversity and
00:34:21.220 inclusion and equity. It just means a department of radical leftism. We've got to get rid of that.
00:34:27.180 And so once we get rid of the left wing, terrible institutions, we've got to build up our own.
00:34:32.940 You know what happened yesterday? If you were tuning into the Daily Wire on our YouTube channel
00:34:37.060 or the Daily Wire website, you, you heard Jeremy's, the God King's really big announcement.
00:34:43.000 We are not just attacking other institutions. We are coming on and we are building up our own.
00:34:51.300 We are taking on Disney. Take a listen.
00:34:54.800 Because of the great reporting of Chris Ruffo, we got to see leaked footage from inside Disney
00:34:59.760 of high up Disney employees saying things like, we have a not so secret gay agenda.
00:35:06.300 Saying things like, we insert, we, we, uh, make sure I get this quote right.
00:35:14.040 We're adding in queerness wherever we can. And that quote, no one is trying to stop the producer
00:35:20.900 who was doing so. Another executive within the company said, if anything, we don't have enough
00:35:26.520 LGBTQIA representation in content made for very small children. So what are we going to do about it? 1.00
00:35:35.580 But we're going to do the same thing we always do. We're going to build alternatives.
00:35:39.960 Americans have enormous economic might. They just don't have any alternatives. The Daily Wire 0.63
00:35:45.500 is building those alternatives. And today I'm proud to tell you that we will be launching Daily Wire Kids.
00:35:55.320 Daily Wire Kids. I love it. You right now can help us build that future by going to dailywire.com
00:36:00.940 slash subscribe. If you want, you can pay full price. That would be great. We support it.
00:36:05.200 We're going to need a lot of money in order to do this stuff. But also we're, we're so excited about
00:36:09.500 it. If you use code build the future right now, this probably won't last very long, but if you do
00:36:14.800 it right now, you will get 45% off your membership, which is an extreme discount. So I recommend you do
00:36:20.660 it. I was talking to sweet little Elise about this when the Disney news came out. Disney is saying,
00:36:25.160 yeah, we're going to make all of our content super duper trans and gay and asexual. And we're going to 0.88
00:36:30.180 put all these super woke messages about sex and race and everything in there. And Elisa turns to 1.00
00:36:35.840 me, she goes, well, Mac, Mac, on the bright side, at least we don't need to go to Disney World.
00:36:42.220 Because my wife and I, we're not huge. I know that some millennials like to, they'll go to Disney
00:36:47.840 World and Disneyland, even without kids. They'll just go on their own in their thirties. They'll just
00:36:52.280 go to, and that's fine. Look, I don't mean to knock it. I don't want to yuck your yum, but that's not
00:36:56.820 what Elise and I would like to do. We're not huge Disney fanatics. So on the bright side,
00:37:02.520 we don't have to go to Disney World. But it is kind of sad for the kid. You want your kid to have
00:37:06.880 a magical experience. You want your kid to have all the fun, wonderful, cartoonish stuff that we
00:37:12.780 had when we were kids. And that's gone, okay? That world is gone. When I was a kid, I loved Pinocchio.
00:37:19.420 I loved the Snow White movie. I loved The Lion King. That was one that was made a little bit more
00:37:23.720 recently. I really liked these things. And that Disney is gone. Now Disney is pushing,
00:37:29.380 almost exclusively, they say everywhere they can, this radical woke agenda. And the reason this is
00:37:34.660 so bad is not only because it's going to confuse your kid about sex and human nature and race and
00:37:40.060 all this kind of stuff. The reason it's so bad is that it's a bad story. We naturally like stories
00:37:49.680 about princes and princesses. We naturally like certain stories that Disney historically has been
00:37:55.800 able to produce. Those stories resonate with us because they resonate with universal tales about
00:38:02.500 humanity. They strike us as true because they speak to human nature. And what wokeness does is
00:38:09.480 tries to rewrite human nature. You see this most, especially in the transgenderism movement, 1.00
00:38:14.060 is in the transgenderism movement tries to say human nature is the opposite of what you think it is.
00:38:18.020 Men actually are women. Women actually are men. And so when they shoehorn this stuff into movies,
00:38:22.280 not only is it damaging politically, but it just ruins the stories. The stories are not
00:38:26.360 good anymore. Sweet little Lisa said, by the time that little June, our little son,
00:38:32.340 is grown up enough to go to an amusement park, we're not going to go to Disney World. We're going
00:38:38.000 to go to Wire World. And I promise you, I haven't talked to Jeremy about this, but I know he's
00:38:43.200 thinking this. I know he's thinking we're going to build Wire World and there's going to be a big
00:38:47.400 stuffed animal, Andrew Klavan walking around that you can go hug and take pictures with.
00:38:52.120 Because this is such an opportunity from the left. Big crisis means big opportunity. That's the bright
00:38:58.600 side. That's the silver lining in politics. Half of this country does not, more than half of this
00:39:05.200 country, does not like the woke crap that the corporations are pushing and that the government's
00:39:09.440 pushing that everyone else is pushing. 60% of the country supports the parental rights and
00:39:14.440 education bill. 100% of the liberal establishment, and especially Disney, hates Florida's parental
00:39:19.800 rights and education bill, which prohibits teachers from peddling transgenderism to five-year-olds.
00:39:25.020 Everyone in the establishment loves it. And the vast majority of Americans, despite all of the
00:39:30.700 propaganda from the media, the vast majority of Americans support the bill. So that's fine.
00:39:35.720 We're looking around here at the Daily Wire and we're saying, okay, if Disney and all these other
00:39:41.440 stupid corporations are spending billions and billions and billions of dollars to peddle their 1.00
00:39:46.480 agenda, which is unpopular with the American people, then we're going to spend our millions of
00:39:52.140 dollars, a relatively small sum compared to the establishment. We're going to spend that giving
00:39:57.120 people the kind of content they like. And what's happened? Our company has exploded. I hope I'm not
00:40:04.240 giving away a trade secret, but I don't think it's a real secret. Here's the amazing strategy that's
00:40:09.740 allowed the Daily Wire to grow. Give people content that is truthful, that speaks to the
00:40:14.560 human condition, that is entertaining when we're talking about entertainment content, and don't
00:40:18.740 cram false, stupid ideas down their throats. Don't force feed them whatever ideological poison happens
00:40:26.080 to be tickling your fancy that day. And that's going to allow you to grow. And we need you to do it.
00:40:30.220 So if you head on over to dailywire.com slash subscribe, use code billthefuture, you'll get 45% off.
00:40:34.960 Speaking of Disneyland, speaking of California, California has become the first state to implement
00:40:44.060 an actual reparations scheme for black people. We've talked about it for years.
00:40:51.860 This goes back to that old promise of 40 acres and a mule for the freed slaves. That didn't happen.
00:40:56.860 There have been, in effect, a lot of reparations programs over the years. That's what a lot of the
00:41:03.780 civil rights programs were about. The New Society, Great Society, rather, programs were about. That's
00:41:09.260 what a lot of the affirmative action programs were about. So there has been a lot of money spent on
00:41:14.880 de facto reparations. But until now, we haven't really seen direct checks to black people just
00:41:20.580 for being black people, hundreds of years after slavery. Well, now we're seeing that in California.
00:41:25.900 This California task force has okayed reparations for direct descendants of enslaved black people.
00:41:31.380 But this doesn't make a lot of sense. This doesn't. One, because people tend to have mixed race and 1.00
00:41:38.800 there were black slaveholders. Ironically, the first officially determined owner of an African
00:41:47.060 slave for life in America was a black guy himself. It was a black Angolan guy. So it would be very 0.96
00:41:53.220 difficult to parse out exactly who gets the reparations. But moreover, the argument from the left
00:41:57.460 on white supremacy and intersectionality and critical race theory is that racism and the
00:42:03.480 effects of slavery don't only affect the descendants of black slaves, it affects all black people.
00:42:10.040 That if you are black in America, even if you got off an airplane from Nigeria just yesterday,
00:42:14.500 you are experiencing the problems and effects of white supremacy. And therefore,
00:42:19.520 you are owed some kinds of reparations as well. So even by the left's own arguments,
00:42:23.600 this program doesn't make a lot of sense. But it's very clear what it is. It's a payoff. It's a
00:42:30.540 bribe. It's a bribe from the left to a very specific interest group, to a faction, not a political party
00:42:36.940 in the high-minded sense of having an understanding and an agenda for the common good, but just an
00:42:42.980 interest group and a faction. You say, we're going to pay you a little bit of money and you vote for us.
00:42:46.840 And that's how it's going to work. Deeply un-American, deeply wrong, stupid, generally, 0.70
00:42:52.260 and by the logic of the left. But that's the way our politics is going. Terrible legislation being
00:42:58.580 passed in California. Really great legislation being proposed in our nation's capital. I've got
00:43:04.500 to hand it to Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is proposing legislation that would recognize
00:43:12.580 Emma Wyant as the winner of the NCAA championship. You already saw Governor DeSantis do this in the 0.57
00:43:19.340 state of Florida. Now Lauren wants to do this at the federal level. This has been co-sponsored by 1.00
00:43:25.720 21 House Republicans. And it's a resolution simply saying that this woman actually won the tournament
00:43:33.300 and the winner of the tournament was not that big hulking dude who is pretending to be a woman.
00:43:38.640 I love this. You're going to hear from the left and from the squishy Republicans,
00:43:44.540 this is a distraction. This doesn't matter. Who cares? We need to focus on important things like
00:43:50.220 tax cuts. We need to focus on important things like climate change. This is a pretty important thing.
00:43:55.980 The way our society understands the difference between men and women is much more important than
00:44:00.580 your tax cuts or the sun monster or any other number of political issues. It's really,
00:44:07.720 really important. Well, Lauren Boebert has no right to do this. Lauren Boebert is, no, she does. 0.97
00:44:13.880 Of course she has the right. She has authority. She's a member of Congress. No, the NCAA gets to decide 1.00
00:44:21.280 for all Americans what a man is and what a woman is. No, I don't think it does. The NCAA has some
00:44:26.660 authority. That's true. Just like woke corporations have some authority. Just like big tech has a lot of
00:44:32.580 authority, actually. But we, the people, still have some authority in the state of Florida with
00:44:38.580 DeSantis' resolution and in the U.S. Congress with Lauren's resolution. And we need to exercise that
00:44:45.360 authority. If we sit around waiting for the NCAA or the colleges or the woke corporations to come around
00:44:53.160 and get on board with our traditional point of view, we're going to be waiting a long time.
00:44:57.960 Or we can exercise the only power we have left at all in this society, which is through our elected
00:45:03.480 representatives. Absolutely the right thing to do. Emma Wyant is the winner of this race. I don't care 1.00
00:45:09.920 about women's sports. I don't generally care about college sports at all. But I do care about this one
00:45:15.980 because I care about what's true and I care about what's just and I care about the reality of human
00:45:21.880 nature. Emma Wyant run that way, won that race. By whose authority do I say that? By the authority 0.78
00:45:29.040 of the U.S. Congress, by the authority of the state of Florida. Now, not everything is going great in
00:45:36.120 the U.S. Congress. Madison Cawthorne is a young Republican representative. He recently appeared on
00:45:42.420 a podcast to spill a little bit of tea about the Congress, dish a little bit of dirt, and to make the
00:45:48.980 claim that he's been invited to orgies and seen members of Congress doing illicit drugs out in
00:45:54.820 that swamp. The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington, I mean, being kind of a young guy in
00:46:00.060 Washington with the average age of probably 60 or 70, and I look at all these people, a lot of them
00:46:05.080 that I've looked up to through my life, always paid attention to politics, guys that, you know,
00:46:09.180 then all of a sudden you get invited to, like, well, hey, we're going to have kind of a sexual get
00:46:13.300 together at one of our homes. You should come. And I'm like, what did you just ask me to come to?
00:46:18.160 And then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy. Or the fact that, you know,
00:46:22.240 there's some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove, you know,
00:46:26.220 addiction in our country. And then you watch them do, you know, a key bump of cocaine right
00:46:29.380 in front of you. And it's like, wow, this is, this is wild. And then there's also kind
00:46:33.720 of the whole espionage aspect of what goes on in Washington of, you know, so many people
00:46:39.840 trade in secrets and there's a currency to secrets. And so it's wild. And then, you know,
00:46:45.660 there's members of the, of the media, the journalists who kind of will keep nasty stories
00:46:50.180 about you or about other people on a shelf. And then what, if you're about to kind of speak
00:46:54.040 out against something, they don't want you to, they'll come out and say, well, we're about
00:46:56.460 to drop the story of when, you know, 17 years ago, you did X, Y, and Z. And you don't want
00:47:01.000 us to drop that story, do you? So we're going to bully you back into this position.
00:47:05.200 Do you believe Madison Cawthorne? Because what the establishment of both parties has said,
00:47:10.700 and the media and everyone else, they've said, how dare he make these crazy, stupid,
00:47:14.700 outlandish claims? This is insane. There's no way this is true. There, there aren't members
00:47:20.380 of Congress having orgies. This is completely made up. And when I saw that reaction from the
00:47:27.760 Democrats and the Republicans, I thought, oh, he's 100% telling the truth. If I didn't believe him
00:47:33.140 before, I sure believe him now. And then I remembered, I said, wait a second.
00:47:37.120 Right. Katie Hill was busted for having orgies with her staff like three years ago. That wasn't 1.00
00:47:44.340 even that long ago. And that was just the one that became public. And that was only because
00:47:49.220 we had photographs of it. I have no doubt that what Madison Cawthorne is saying is correct.
00:47:55.840 I don't know how prominent it is. I'm not saying that every member of Congress is going and getting
00:48:00.020 weird. I'm not saying that they're all doing a little nose candy off their keys in the house
00:48:04.820 hallway or something like that. But is there promiscuous sex in Washington? For sure.
00:48:11.860 Illicit drugs, even by people who work for the government? Yeah, for sure. Just that one,
00:48:17.500 just that one alone, just Katie Hill alone, just within the last few years, of course this stuff
00:48:21.920 is happening. Though Madison has been forced into walking this back. Kevin McCarthy, who's the
00:48:29.880 Republican leader in the house, he has said that Cawthorne told him that some of the remarks
00:48:37.340 were untrue and exaggerated. Now, Madison, as far as I can tell, Madison Cawthorne has not actually
00:48:45.240 come out and said that it was a lie or that it was exaggerated. But the house Republican leadership
00:48:49.840 has come out and said, no, people were very upset about this. They said, name names. If you're going to
00:48:54.920 make this claim, name names. And Madison is not going to name names because it would destroy his
00:49:02.080 relationships with these people, because it would immediately put him as far outside of the swamp as
00:49:08.380 he possibly could. Because I bet not all of these people are Democrats. I bet some of them are
00:49:12.480 Republicans too, because he might be sued for defamation. This might be a long process. And because,
00:49:18.880 as Madison Cawthorne says, everyone's got dirt on everybody. I'm sure people have plenty of dirt on
00:49:23.220 Madison Cawthorne. Everyone's got a past. Everyone's got some dirt on them. And I remember
00:49:28.740 this a couple of years ago. The press tried to drop some insinuations that Cawthorne was up to no good
00:49:34.520 and up to shenanigans 15 years ago. Of course, this stuff happens. It's a reminder to all of us too.
00:49:39.680 This is one of the big reasons that the culture is constantly pushing us to do drugs, to have weird
00:49:45.900 sex, to look at weird things on the internet, to go do shameful acts is because it's compromising.
00:49:52.620 It compromises ourselves. It makes it much easier to control people, especially in a world of 24-7
00:49:58.340 surveillance everywhere on your electronic devices, on cameras. We have bugs everywhere in the country
00:50:02.760 right now. And this is the way power has worked in Washington forever. And it hasn't just changed
00:50:09.460 overnight. The issue of regaining some control over our political system is a lot bigger than just
00:50:18.660 going out and turning out the vote. There are a lot of power centers in this country, corporate,
00:50:23.260 tech, administrative, deep state as we call it. And they've got real control. And the reason that
00:50:29.800 it's so hard to crack is because they have real leverage. And so if we want to be able to overcome
00:50:36.560 that, we're going to need to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. I'm Michael Knowles.
00:50:41.040 This is the Michael Knowles Show. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:51:11.040 Today on the Ben Shapiro Show, we here at The Daily Wire are ready to go to war with Disney to protect
00:51:36.860 your kids. Plus, the Biden administration sees record low approval ratings as the economy teeters
00:51:41.600 on the brink of recession. That's today on The Ben Shapiro Show. Give it a listen.
