And your help and your contribution and.

Michael Knowles (9:02)

Your belief that we could do something silly to heal the world, that we.

Milana Vayntrub (9:07)

Could have this playful exchange, that I could give you something fun and exclusive.

Michael Knowles (9:12)

And you could contribute some money to help some people. So you see the way it works in her mind. The way it works in her mind is I'm doing a good thing. I'm doing a good thing because the money in the end is going toward needy people. And therefore you don't need to pay any attention to the fact that there are all these kind of morally dubious things we do in the middle, because all's well that ends well, because good ends justify immoral means. So she's not running a porn site or a racy pictures site? No, no, no. She's not selling her body for money. No, no, no, no. She's a philanthropist, but it's gonna involve a little porn and even. Just think about the. I don't want to go too deep into this, but imagine the process here. Who's giving the money? It's men. It's not women. Presumably, the men want these racy pictures of this girl, so they're giving money so that she can degrade herself taking these pictures. And then what are the men going to do with those pictures? Are they just going to look at them once and then delete them and that's it and move on with their day and have a cappuccino? I don't know. I think it's gonna cause disordered thoughts in their mind. Maybe it's Gonna cause disordered actions. And it's just the whole thing is kind of gross. This girl has now debased herself from a att pitch man to a porn star. It's all gross. But it's for a good cause, right? So isn't it worth it? This is every deal with the devil. This is every single deal with the devil. The deal with the devil is you're gonna do a bad thing, but it's gonna turn out to have a good outcome. You're gonna compromise yourself. You're gonna do something immoral, but it'll probably work out. And the thing about the deal with the devil is it doesn't work out. All sorts of immoral, bad stuff along the way, and you usually don't even get the thing you hoped for in the end. I think that's what's going on here. This is the apotheosis of the modern utilitarian, consequentialist idea that says the end justifies the means. We're now going to have porn charity sites. Is that good? You want your daughter doing porn charity? Do you think that's good? When you're teaching her about spiritual and corporal works of mercy? When you're teaching her to give alms to the poor, Are you going to say, and that's why you should do porn, because as long as you get some sweet lucre, you know, some of that filthy money, then it's all. Then any action is justified? I don't think so. We should. We gotta get rid of onlyfans, but we should get rid of only philanthropy too. You wanna give money to the poor? Give money to the poor. What's the matter with you? What is the matter with you? Now? Speaking of the disordered desires of men, you know, there's this idea that men. What every man wants is some much younger bimbo that's the ideal partner for a man. There's a study that's just come out that actually contradicts this. I have much more to say.

Now I really look like toxic masculinity here, you know, puffing on my I need a big glass of whiskey or something. There's an idea out there that men, they want one thing and it's disgusting that men, their ideal partner is a much, much younger bimbo. Some girl who's got nothing in between the ears, who just exists as a kind of extension of the male id, his darkest fantasies and who's like 20 or something. Well, it turns out there's a report out from the Institute for Family Studies that that is not true. And the headline, the headline I think is actually a little bit misleading. But the headline says high status men are attracted to ambitious women. So it says. You're probably familiar with the common argument men would prefer an attractive younger woman over an ambitious woman close to their age. This argument suggests that when given a choice, men don't prefer to marry women with career ambitions. I actually don't think it suggests that, but that's an interpretation of the author of the piece. Well, the Institute for Family Studies used Data on almost 1.5 million married men in the US 2019-2023 and their wives and found out no, that's not true. Turns out that men with the most relationship options, that means wealthier men, higher social status men marry women who are close to them in age and with high educational attainment and that the relationships with large age gaps are more common for low income men than for high income men. Far from being a sign of wealth, marrying much younger is associated. Marrying a much younger woman is associated with men who struggle to find a partner until later in Life. So the real story is simpler. What almost everyone wants in a marriage partner is someone who shares their outlook on the world. If you're an ambitious striver, you're probably interested in marrying an ambitious striver or, and this is crucial, or somebody complimentary to one. So this is where I think the headline gets it totally wrong. It says that if you're a professionally ambitious man with high educational attainment, though we'll get to the value of educational attainment momentarily when we talk about Gen Z. But if you're that kind of guy, you're going to want a woman who's exactly the same. But that's not actually what the study finds. Finds that you either want someone who is like that, that's the lib man in that category, or. Or you want a woman who is complementary to that. That's the right option. That's what you really need. Because if you're a workaholic, if you're a guy, you know, very professionally ambitious, you work long hours. If you have a wife who's like that, then no one's with your kids. So either you won't have kids or your kid is going to be raised at the daycare or with the nanny forever. You're going to neglect your kids. It's not going to work. But that doesn't mean that you have to marry a woman who's nothing like you. You can marry a woman who has high educational attainment, who is quite ambitious, but whose ambition is complementary. It's a different kind of ambition. The ambition of the men is to be generally like men are. And the ambition of the women is to be generally like women are. And it understands that men and women are different. But why is this? This kind of contradicts the Andrew Tate view of the world that men don't want to get married. Marriage has nothing for men. Men don't want a woman who's close to their age. Men want a young bimbo. Basically, it seems to me, though I'm not super familiar with his view of life. That seems to be what he's saying. But that actually isn't borne out in the survey. So why is it? Well, it goes back to old Aristotle is why it goes back. Forget about having a girlfriend, it goes back to just having a friend. Aristotle understands friends to be like another self. A true friend is like another self. That's what Aristotle says. And that sounds navel gazing and selfish. And it doesn't really need to be. As Aristotle also famously says, there are three kinds of friends, friendships of pleasure, you know, you just. You like the same stuff. Friendships of utility. Whereas networking, you know, where you. Convenience, transactional. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. And then true friendship, which is friendship of the good, where it's two people who see the world in the same way, who are both pursuing some good that is external to them. Which is why with a true friend, sometimes you can finish each other's sentences, you can have whole conversations, you barely speak because you know exactly where the other person's coming from. And in a good marriage, in a true marriage, in a Christian marriage, it's gonna be like that. I don't like that sappy line that you sometimes hear at weddings. Oh, I married my best friend. I think. No, hold on. I have my best friend. My best friend's like Billy or whatever, you know, Bob. He's my best friend. And I have my wife. And I don't need to go out to the pool hall or whatever kids do these days. I don't need to go to the cigar bar with my wife. I can go to the cigar bar with my buddy. I'll go to my home or on a romantic dinner with my wife. But I'm overselling it a little bit. A good wife really should be a friend. It should be someone who looks at the world the same way, who is virtuous, who is pursuing the good, and who is another self. Because the looks are going to fade. And if you ditch your wife or if you do the Andrew Tate thing, you don't even have a wife. If you just ditch these women after they turn 25. The Leonardo DiCaprio strategy. But you're going to wind up lonely. You're going to wind up awful lonely because you won't have another self and you won't have true friendship. Because true friendship has to be grounded in virtue. It can't just be transactional. It can't just be about ephemeral pleasures. You're going to be missing out on the fullness of human experience. So it's true. Sometimes these people say, well, in the animal kingdom. In the animal kingdom, the man just bangs anything that moves. Pardon my vulgar language, but we're talking about the animal kingdom, so I guess it should be kind of vulgar. In the animal kingdom, you know, the alpha has a harem of females and then moves on when it's no longer right. Yeah, if you want to. If you want to be like a gorilla, be like a gorilla. But human beings don't have to be like that because we are like animals in that we are bodies. But we're like angels in that we're rational. We, unlike gorillas, can reason about justice and friendship and charity and all the rest of it. So you can do that. You can debase yourself to be like a gorilla, but I don't recommend it. You don't have to. You're a human being. And most people, the vast majority of people throughout history, they seem to be on the human side of things.

So often in high profile cases and conspiracies, all we get are a few redacted documents and a litany of theories from sources close to the story that never pan out. But other times, you get to sit down face to face with someone who is actually there. Like in this latest episode of Micah Land where I sat down with a former P. Diddy escort who was named in the trial. His stories will blow you away. Check out this teaser. So I don't know who I'm seeing and so I show up to the address, I go up to the door, knock and she opens the door. So you say it's very performative. She's like, okay, sit there. She puts the towel down. Like, hey, just pour the baby oil all over me. I see like the little slit in the room. There were times in the sessions where I saw that demon, the demon that she talked about, personal demon, you know, these are the demons that are afflicting me. Or Diddy. Yeah, Diddy. You actually did this stuff. Your name and your picture were revealed in court. Revealed in court. And then it started to go mainstream. In 50 posts is that picture. So this guy is a sex crazed animal. She was in under his control cuz there's video of him beating her in a hallway. I was supposed to be there that night. I was supposed to watch the full episode right now on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel. For the uncensored ad free version, subscribe to Daily Wire plus before I get to the Zoomers working, just another little puff on Breakfast of Champions. Especially very important with this cigar that you retrohale. You breathe a little, touch out your nose, it'll open up the flavor a lot. Okay. Why is it that a quarter of Gen Z workers regret attending college? This according to a new survey By Resume Genius, 23% of full time Zoomer workers regret attending college. 19% say their degree did not contribute to their career. Some of you are going to be saying, well I expect the number to be higher. It should be 75% regret going to college. But a quarter is a lot. Especially when you consider that a lot of these kids went into debt to go to college. Some of them took out hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to go get a degree in marketing or a degree in political science or something at whatever Palookaville College. And then they come out and they get a job and they regret going. Why? Well, it's that second part there. They say 19% say their degree did not contribute to their career. The reason they have regret. Almost the same number more regret it than admit this. But 1 in 5 almost say their degree didn't contribute to their career is because they went in with bad expectations. I've said this before, I'll say it again though, it's not popular. The purpose of a university education is not to learn how to do a job. It's not to get a career. It's not to learn any particularly useful skill. It's to read dusty old books and and think in the abstract and ultimately to make sense of your freedom at a deep level. The purpose of a university education is not for the eight to 14 hours a day that you're gonna spend working. It's for all the other hours, it's for your leisure time. It's what to do when you are not obligated to work when you are free. This is why we call it the liberal arts. And it helps you to become free. This is like what we have today in colleges is like. It's like Christian rock. I know I'm going to offend some listeners, but I hate Christian rock. I hate it. I hate it so much. And it's like Christian rock. Because the idea of Christian rock is, hey, if we meld these two things that are not alike one another at all, we're going to make both of them better. But that's not really what happens. Christian rock is actually diminishing both of Christianity and rock music. Christian rock is like the worst of both worlds. Christian rock is not better than any other rock music of like, caliber. It's not better. And Christian rock is not nearly as good as any other kind of Christian music ever written going back to the first century. It's not better, it's just. It makes it all worse. So today we have these universities that are in practice trade schools. But unlike actual trade schools, they don't really teach you a trade. And unlike actual universities, you don't read the great books. And you at least don't read them seriously. And don't read them in a way that gives you an integrated sense of the world such that what you learn in physics tells you something about what you learn in English, which tells you something about what you learn in math, which tells you something about what learn in philosophy, which ultimately should tell you something about what you learn in theology, which is the queen of the sciences. You don't even study theology almost any of the time now. Kind of crazy university. I mean, this is the argument made by St John Henry Newman in the idea of a university. But the university purports to be an institution of universal knowledge. And at best, modern universities ignore the source and summit of all knowledge, God. And usually they criticize God or mock God or. So what do they can't purport to. They can't seriously purport to universal knowledge. So yeah, no wonder these kids regret their education. It was a waste. But it didn't have to be a waste. It's not a waste for the reason they think it is. Modern university education is not a waste because it doesn't affect your career. Modern education is a waste because it doesn't affect the rest of your life. And by affecting the rest of your life, by the way, it should also affect your professional career because it should allow you to see the world differently and impel you to act differently within it. Big waste. Expect that number to go up, by the way, in the coming years. Now, speaking of the economy, it's very hard to smoke while you talk on a show. Have you ever noticed that? And so if I were a professional, I would just talk. I would let the cigar go out. But the cigar is too good. The Mayflower dream is just too good. So sorry, you're gonna have to wait for my pups. Mm. Breakfast of champions. Really good news on the economic front. The recession odds have fallen to the lowest level ever recorded according to Polymarket. The odds of a US recession have fallen to their lowest level, dropped from 70% in late April to just 19% this week it's ever recorded on polymarket. Looking really nice. Do you remember back on Liberation Day, Liberation Day when we were told that Trump tariffs were gonna go into effect? Then the tariffs did go into effect and people lost their minds and all the analysts freaked out and the market dropped and the bond market went crazy and everyone said, we are now headed to recession and this is it. The walls are closing in on Trump. This is finally it. Plenty of people said, I'm turning on Trump now. And then what happened? It was a total tempest in a teapot. The economy today looks better than it did back then. And the economy is probably kind of a little. The market was a little overvalued, I think, back then. Even at the end of the Biden administration, this might have corrected it. This is what Trump was talking about with the Panicans. And it's why sometimes when Trump says or does anything, you have all these neurotic people just freaking out. Oh, I don't care if it's bombing Iran, I don't care if it's the economy. I don't care if it's some new immigration policy. I don't care if it's some tweet about football, which we'll get to momentarily. Cuz Trump has some of those too. They freak out, they lose their minds. And all these people say, I've supported Trump in the past. Usually it's people who've supported Trump for six minutes. So listen, I've supported Trump, but I'm turning on Trump now. These guys, these libertarians, the former left wing guys. Oh, listen, I was a Trump supporter. Yeah, you were a Trump supporter from late October 2024 to the first week of November 2024. You've been a huge lib or libertarian or never Trumper the whole rest of the time. But I was. And now I'm turning my support. And I always say, whenever these things happen, I say, give it a breather. Even on the Epstein files, there are people who had supported Trump for somewhat longer saying, I'm turning on him now. Just give it a breather, man. He gets it, he listens, he sees things. Don't worry, don't worry. He's done pretty well over these last 10 years. He managed to win the highest office in the land on his first shot, his first real attempt at any political office. Just give it a breather. But then the problem is this is what happens with the newspapers. The newspaper reports some BS story and everyone reads it and then it turns out not to be true. And they print the retraction two months later on the last page of the newspaper and no one reads it. It's the same thing here. So it's very important to point this stuff out. Many, many people on television and their fancy tires, they were saying, they were saying two months ago, three months ago, one month ago, the economy is gonna collapse because of Trump. Lowest level ever recorded when looking at recession odds on polymarket. Keep that in mind next time. Now, speaking of what could have been Hunter Biden, it's fitting to smoke things for this. Hunter Biden has just done a long form interview. He did not hold back. I really wish I could have gotten the interview, but I didn't even think it was possible. And this gives you so much insight into the present state of the Democrat party. Folks, we are celebrating a decade of Daily Wire. Ten years of fighting the culture war and building something real.

Kim Tate2285 this was worth watching the first 40 minutes just to get to Michael's Great impersonations. Thank you. What did I, what did I. Oh, I did Obama. Did I do Obama yesterday? Yeah, you're right. Hey, you want me to do my Hunter Biden impression? No, no, I'm joking. It's not a bong. It would be something harder than that. In any case, Hunter looks like he's back on it again. Cuz he is full of vinegar in this interview. So the interview is all sorts of different things. It's Hunter Biden's take on Joe, what happened to his dad before he was unceremoniously booted out of the top spot for Democrats. Then what does Hunter Biden think of Trump's policies? And then, most interesting to me, what. What does Joe think about the present state of the Democrat? Or what does Hunter think about the present state of the Democrat Party? Here is what Hunter Biden says about Joe's terrible performance during that debate that lost him the nomination for president.

Milana Vayntrub (33:27)

I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world. Basically the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times. He's 81 years old. He's tired as give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.

Michael Knowles (33:43)

Okay, first part. He's flying all around the world. That's true. It's hard. It's hard to fly around the world when you're 35, much less 81. Now, he had been flying a week prior, so I don't know that the jet lag one week before that debate totally explains why Biden was drooling on stage, especially when we'd seen him acting that way many other times throughout the presidency. But did you catch that bit at the end? There he goes. And you know, he was having trouble sleeping, so the docs gave him an Ambien and you know, that's why he looked like a mummy. So the thing about being president is your medical examinations are public, your medical information is of public interest. And so we can, for instance, subpoena a presidential physician to testify before Congress, like Kevin o', Connor, who testified before Congress and pled the fifth against self incrimination. Asked if there was any cover up about Joe Biden's terrible health, mental and physical. But also we can look at the prescriptions that the President was prescribed. Ambien wasn't on there. So he says, yeah, they gave him Ambien and he looked kinda so. Hold on. I love Hunter. The fact that you're telling us this, that the President was taking a prescription drug that he was not prescribed. Then, of course, raises the question, what other drugs were they giving him they didn't know about? I was at the State of the Union two years ago. I was there as a guest of my friend Andy Ogles. I was sitting not far behind the President Biden at that time. And you might have seen it on tv, but it was pretty clear to those of us in the room. Biden walks out there and he just starts screaming in monotone for, like, 45 minutes. I realized I don't have an ashtray, so you know what? I'm gonna have to ash on my desk. Okay, Maybe in my candle. No, I don't want to. I don't want to ruin my candle that way. He gets up there. I said, oh, what kind of Joe are we getting tonight? And he gets up and he just does that for like, 48 minutes straight, still going strong at the end, and then bolts out of the room. I thought, man, what did they shoot him up with before that? And I don't. I don't know. None of the uproars come up on his presidential physical, but then again, neither does the ambient. So here you got Hunter Biden admitting, yeah, we were doing. We were engaging in medical interventions that we didn't tell you about. Then Hunter is asked about current presidential policy. Here's what he has to say.

Milana Vayntrub (36:17)

Well, for someone like all these Democrats say, you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration.

Michael Knowles (36:26)

You.

Milana Vayntrub (36:26)

How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your garden? Who do you think is here by the sheer just grit and will, that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance. And he's somehow convinced of all of us that these people are the criminals.

Michael Knowles (36:54)

So another thing that becomes clear is Hunter appears to have developed Tourette's in his old age. This is a sign. Look, at various points in my life, I've talked more like a sailor than others, but I really try not to now, not even at the bar. I try to avoid it, generally, because it's a venial sin. So it's not good. It weakens your relationship with God. And at a certain point, it just displays a lack of discipline in your ability to speak when you just insert the F word, every third word. And you know the effing thing, and you know the effing Gardener and the effing this and f' n that. You just sound like your brain doesn't work. And for Hunter, that's probably true. But if you take all the effings out of it, what is his argument? His argument is we need amnesty for illegals and we need more illegals so that we can have a slave class, so we can have a serf class. A class of people who work for us for very low wages without worker protections and who clean our homes and pick our grapes and who do whatever we tell them to do and they don't have recourse to protections and to decent wages. That's what he's saying. And that's always what it's been about, at least for the business community and for wealthy liberal elites. There's another bonus for the Democrats, which is that statistically it's likely to give them a permanent electoral majority. Though Hispanics have trended a little bit Republican in recent years, still overwhelmingly Democrat. But beyond just cynically trying to get votes, that's what it's been about. For a much broader range of people who are not Democrat party operatives, it's been about cheap labor. That's true for businesses. That's true for people who have house cleaners and gardeners. Can you believe these people? They want to boot out our effing house cleaner. So he's just unvarnished here. Hunter unchained. But then the juiciest part of the interview is when Hunter goes off on the Democrat establishment today opinions.

Milana Vayntrub (39:07)

But him, him, him and everybody around him or not to be nice, number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is not a actor. He is a, like, I don't know what he is. He, he, he's a brand. And by the way, and God bless him, you know what, he supposedly treats his friends really well, you know what I mean? Buys them things. And he's got a really great place in Lake Como and he's great, great friends with Barack Obama.

Michael Knowles (39:34)

You.

Milana Vayntrub (39:35)

What do you have to do with anything? Why do I have to listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in New York Times to me and James Carville who hasn't run a race in 40 years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama, and that was because of Barack Obama, not because of David Axelrod. And David Plouffe and all of these guys in the pod Save America, guys who were junior speechwriters in, you know, on Barack Obama's Senate staff, who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars.

Michael Knowles (40:17)

Love this. Love this rant. And I get it. This is a cred from a guy whose dad got done dirty by the Democrat establishment. But the irony of it is Hunter Biden is a product, as much a product as anyone of that very same Democrat establishment. Joe Biden was the face of the Democrat establishment until he wasn't useful to them anymore and they threw him to the side. And now Hunter can be honest. And what is he saying? He's saying the entire Democrat Party, the whole apparatus, the entire machine is run by frauds. They're all frauds. George Clooney, Hollywood face of the Democrats. Hunter, he sounds like a MAGA Republican here. He says, what the f. Does George Clooney know about anything? Thank you. I know. I agree. George Clooney's role in Hail Caesar, a movie about Hollywood and left wing politics. George Clooney's role is as George Clooney, as a guy who doesn't know anything about anything and who's taken to fashionable flights of fancy by dubious ideologies. He says, David Axelrod, that guy. These guys, like, won one campaign. It's only because of Barack Obama. He doesn't know anything. Why are we listening to him? Who else? David Plouffe. Same thing. Who else? James Carville. James Carville hasn't done anything really in politics since the early 90s. Why are we listening to these people now? Of course, that wasn't Hunter's tune five years ago. Five years ago they were all saying, oh, these are the great serious leaders. Thank you. We love you, George. Oh, yeah, everyone should. But now it's just come undone. The whole thing has come undone. It's an emperor has no clothes kind of moment. Really, really beautiful. That's a great interview. The whole interview could be summed up in a single sentence that the Democrat Party today in the year of our Lord 2025, is complete BS. All right, I've got to leave.
