During a recent episode of Daily Wire Backstage, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles discussed various important issues while expressing their disagreements with leftist viewpoints. Walsh also used the opportunity to conduct a long-awaited job performance review with Knowles, who had been employed at the company for several years.

Overall, the conversation underscored the importance of accountability and productivity in the workplace.
Allegations of criminal activity against Hunter Biden and potential interference from AG: Reports suggest Hunter Biden faces tax crimes, gun charge, and paid for prostitutes, but AG intervention may hinder prosecution. Potential corruption and disregard for law raises concerns.
The Hunter Biden investigation involves allegations of criminal activity, including tax crimes and a gun charge, as well as evidence of paying for prostitutes. However, the prosecution of these alleged crimes has been hindered, according to reports, with the attorney general reportedly intervening and stopping the prosecutor from charging in certain jurisdictions. This, along with a text message allegedly showing Hunter Biden discussing business deals while sitting next to his father, raises questions about potential corruption and the apparent disregard for the law by those involved. Ultimately, the public interest lies in addressing the allegations of selling American influence to foreign entities, rather than the personal scandals.
White House Press Secretary's response to Biden-Hunter business dealings: The White House Press Secretary's response to allegations of Biden's involvement in son Hunter's Chinese business dealings was evasive, shifting from denying knowledge to not being in business together, raising questions about transparency.
During a discussion about the alleged involvement of President Joe Biden in his son Hunter's business dealings with China, the White House Press Secretary gave a lawyerly response, shifting from Joe not knowing about Hunter's businesses to not being in business with him. The use of specific language and avoidance of directly addressing the issue raised questions about transparency. Additionally, the conversation touched on various topics including UFOs and ExpressVPN, with some participants expressing skepticism towards certain beliefs and technologies. Overall, the conversation highlighted the complexity and nuance of current political issues and the importance of clear communication from public figures.
Discussion on Biden's perceived corruption and potential primary candidates: Skepticism about Trump's chances in primary due to past performance and changing political landscape. Consensus on need for a candidate targeting Biden's issues and winning in a general election. Importance of public perception and polls in predicting outcomes.
The discussion revolved around the perceived corruption of President Joe Biden and the ongoing speculation about potential presidential candidates for the upcoming elections. Hunter Biden's involvement in questionable business dealings and Joe Biden's open joking about selling state secrets were among the topics raised. Trump's physical appearance and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic were identified as his biggest weaknesses. Some expressed skepticism about Trump's chances of winning the primary due to his past performance and the changing political landscape. The consensus seemed to be that a candidate who can effectively target Biden's issues and win in a general election is the most desirable choice. The conversation also touched upon the importance of public perception and the role of polls in predicting election outcomes.
Rules around elections have changed, favoring some parties: Pennsylvania's election rules changed to favor Democrats, challenging Republicans with dispersed voter bases. Ron DeSantis used a meticulous approach to win, while Trump's controversial statements and social media presence dominate headlines.
The rules surrounding elections have changed significantly in recent times, with some states altering them in ways that benefit certain parties. For instance, Pennsylvania's election rules were changed in a way that favored Democrats and violated the state constitution. This poses a challenge for Republicans, particularly when their voters are spread out across the country, while Democrats have more concentrated voter bases in urban areas where ballot harvesting is more effective. Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, is known for his meticulous approach to politics and was successful in using this strategy to win his election in 2018. Trump, on the other hand, has relied heavily on social media presence and avoiding debates, but his lack of improvement raises questions about his campaign strategy. Trump's magnetic personality and penchant for making headlines, despite his controversial statements, make him a more interesting figure to discuss than Joe Biden, who is perceived as less interesting and less capable of forming coherent sentences. Trump's statements about having declassified documents, which later turned out to be untrue, were likely made to avoid prosecution for this particular crime. Overall, the changing election rules and the unique campaign strategies of prominent political figures continue to shape the political landscape.
Trump vs Clinton: Different Classified Documents Cases: Despite some similarities, Trump and Clinton's handling of classified documents differed due to the Presidential Records Act and nature of records involved. The focus should be on potential dangers of another Biden presidency.
Former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents is not comparable to Hillary Clinton's case due to the differences in the nature of the records involved. The Presidential Records Act applies only to records made by the president in the pursuit of their job, not to classified documents handed to them from different agencies. Furthermore, the idea of a "sock drawer defense" or Clinton's software defense is incorrect. Despite this, some argue that Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted in 2016, which might have prevented Trump from committing a similar offense. The question then arises, if everyone was out to get Trump, would he still have committed such a crime? Some argue that Trump's lack of understanding of his enemies and the swamp, as well as his enemies' misunderstanding of him, led to a failed attempt to drain the swamp. Ultimately, the conversation should focus on the potential dangers of another Biden presidency, and whether Trump or another candidate would have a better chance of beating him in the 2024 election.
2024 Republican Primary: Trump vs. DeSantis - Uncertain Outcome: The 2024 Republican Primary between Trump and DeSantis is uncertain due to Trump's divisive nature, potential legal issues, and voter preference for the original candidate. DeSantis faces challenges with similar policy positions and potential voter loyalty to Trump. Outcome depends on candidates' actions and unforeseen events.
The 2024 Republican primary race between Trump and DeSantis is uncertain, with Trump's ability to win being a significant question due to his divisive nature and potential legal issues. DeSantis faces challenges as well, given his similar policy positions to Trump and the potential voter preference for the original candidate. Trump's excitement and controversy seem to drive his support, but if he becomes boring or faces legal issues, he could face difficulties. Neither candidate has officially declared their intentions, leaving the race wide open. The outcome will depend on various factors, including the candidates' actions and unforeseen events.
Misunderstanding between Michael and Nicki Minaj over song 'Pound Town': Clear communication is crucial in resolving misunderstandings. Michael and Nicki Minaj's misunderstanding stemmed from a misinterpreted song critique and Nicki's persona, leading to unnecessary conflict.
There was a misunderstanding between Michael and Nicki Minaj, which stemmed from a song titled "Pound Town" and its remix "Pound Town 2." Michael criticized the song during a segment, leading Nicki Minaj to believe he was attacking her personally. In response, she accused Michael of being an "undercover Barb" and a fan of her music. The confusion escalated when it was revealed that Nicki Minaj had a persona named Roman, who is a homosexual man. Michael then engaged in a playful back-and-forth with Nicki Minaj, leading to humorous exchanges. Ultimately, the incident highlights the importance of clear communication and understanding in resolving misunderstandings.
A surprise reference to Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' and discussions about personal experiences and pop culture: Maya, a social media personality, had an unexpected conversation about music and pop culture, referencing Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' and discussing her past experiences, including having chlamydia twice, while expressing concerns about the trend of explicit content in modern pop music.
Maya, a social media personality, had a surprising revelation during a conversation about music and pop culture. She admitted that she had unknowingly referenced Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" song in a previous interaction, but was impressed when the other person recognized it. The conversation also touched on Maya's past interviews where she discussed having chlamydia twice, which is not a common topic in pop music. The exchange included flirtatious emojis and references to body parts, leading to speculation about their relationship dynamics. Maya also mentioned her disdain for face tattoos and shared her unconventional hair color choices. The conversation ended with a comment about the worrying trend of explicit and vulgar content in modern pop music, with concerns about its impact on younger audiences.
Critics' concerns about societal changes proven prescient: The shift towards social conservatism among younger generations, loss of institutional power and cool factor of controversial issues, and continued work needed on issues like abortion highlight the importance of ongoing conversation around societal changes and their impact on future generations.
The concerns raised by critics of societal changes in the past, particularly regarding the sexualization and mainstreaming of pornography and the impact on younger generations, have proven to be prescient. The shift towards social conservatism, especially among younger generations, is a notable trend. The loss of institutional power and cool factor of these issues, as seen in the reaction of students to LGBT indoctrination in schools, further highlights this trend. While significant progress has been made, there is still work to be done in addressing issues like abortion. Overall, the conversation around societal changes and their impact on future generations continues to be an important one.
Saving lives and offering love and support: Preborn's impact goes beyond saving lives; they offer compassion and hope to expectant mothers, encouraging them to choose life for their unborn children.
The Preborn organization is making a significant impact by saving lives through compassionate support for expectant mothers. They offer free ultrasounds and a loving environment, often convincing distressed mothers to choose life for their unborn children. The organization's work is more meaningful than just saving a life; it's about offering love, compassion, and support to mothers in need. The discussion also touched upon the societal implications of certain values and beliefs, highlighting how they can evolve and lead to unexpected consequences. It's important to recognize that the fight for certain rights or values can have far-reaching effects, and it's crucial to consider the potential long-term implications. By supporting organizations like Preborn, we can make a difference in the lives of mothers and their babies.
Trust in Institutions at an All-Time Low: Institutions face growing mistrust due to perceived dishonesty and manipulation, including media, education, and government. Despite public anger, they remain unyielding, fueled by belief that change won't occur. Systemic issues like election integrity concerns widen the divide between public perception and institutional narratives.
Society's trust in new institutions is at an all-time low due to perceived dishonesty and manipulation. The speaker uses the example of Lizzo, a celebrated figure whose self-worth is constantly questioned despite widespread praise and acceptance. This issue extends beyond individuals, with various institutions, including media, education, and government, continuing to push agendas that many people find unbelievable. Despite growing disillusionment, these institutions remain unyielding, fueled by the belief that the public's anger will not lead to significant change. The speaker also mentions systemic issues, such as election integrity concerns, that further erode trust in the system. Overall, the conversation highlights the growing divide between the public's perception of reality and the narratives being pushed by institutions.
The exposure of controversial elements at Pride parades through social media: Celebrating victories, even if incomplete, is crucial for the right to maintain momentum in cultural battles. Consumer pressure can lead to changes, even if not complete solutions.
The rise of social media has led to increased exposure of controversial elements at Pride parades, which were previously downplayed or hidden by the media. This shift has sparked debates about the morality of exposing such content and the effectiveness of consumer pressure on corporations. Despite criticisms, celebrating victories, even if they are not perfect, is crucial for the right to maintain momentum in cultural battles. Companies may respond reluctantly or insincerely, but the goal is to force them to respond, even if it's just for optics. Target's decision to move pride merchandise to the back of the store is an example of a victory worth acknowledging, as it shows that consumer pressure can lead to changes, even if they are not complete solutions. The right must be strategic in choosing targets and recognizing opportunities for victories, as it can be challenging to boycott everything in the face of a pervasive cultural shift.
Targeted campaigns against individuals and companies can bring change: Effective campaigns can discourage engagement or participation, leading to change in actions or prevention of controversial actions.
Targeted campaigns against individuals and companies, whether driven by the left or the right, can be effective in bringing about change. These campaigns are often about hurting and shaming to discourage engagement or participation. Success is not just in getting companies to back off from controversial actions, but also in preventing them from taking such actions in the first place. The left's tactic of making examples out of individuals and institutions to promote their causes is mirrored by the right. For instance, the backlash against Dylan Mulvaney, a mainstream figure for transgenderism, prevented other companies from following Bud Light's lead. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of these campaigns can be short-lived, as the conversation can quickly shift to other issues. Additionally, the conversation veered off topic towards Genucel's skincare products and the possibility of an impending World War III, which may not be directly related to the initial discussion.
Exploring the Fascination with UFOs: Despite conflicting beliefs, a shared interest in UFOs emerged, touching on credible evidence, skepticism, historical context, and government handling.
Despite the conflicting beliefs about the existence of aliens and their potential interaction with humans, the conversation revealed a shared interest in the unexplained phenomena reported as UFO sightings. While some believe in the credibility of certain alleged evidence, others remain skeptical, questioning the motivations behind the dissemination of such information. The conversation also touched upon the historical context of UFO sightings and the shifting narratives surrounding them, with some expressing frustration towards government handling of the issue. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the enduring fascination and intrigue surrounding the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the unexplained phenomena often labeled as UFOs.
Exploring the Probability of Other Forms of Life in the Universe: The vastness of the universe increases the likelihood of other forms of life, but the ability of these civilizations to traverse vast distances remains uncertain.
While there are differing beliefs about the existence of demons, aliens, and advanced civilizations, it's important to consider the vastness of the universe and the likelihood of other forms of life. Some argue that given the number of planets in the universe, it's probable that we've been visited or that other civilizations have surpassed our level of sophistication. However, skeptics question the likelihood of these civilizations being able to traverse vast distances in a short amount of time. The discussion also touched on current events, including potential global conflicts and the advancement of technology. Ultimately, the conversation showcased the intrigue and curiosity surrounding the unknown realms of the universe and the possibilities that lie beyond our reach.
Russian Power Struggle: Uncertain Motivations and Outcomes: The attempted coup by Yevgeny Prigozhin in Russia highlights the complex and uncertain nature of Russian politics, with potential outcomes ranging from Putin's weakness to nuclear conflict.
The ongoing political situation in Russia, specifically the attempted coup by Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, is complex and uncertain. Prigozhin, who rose from running a hot dog stand to becoming Putin's caterer and amassing a paramilitary force, attempted a power grab due to his perceived dissatisfaction with the Secretary of Defense. However, the motivations and potential outcomes of this coup are unclear, with speculation ranging from Putin's weakness to the possibility of a nuclear conflict. The lack of transparency and understanding of Russian politics, as well as the potential involvement of organized forces like the Wagner group and the Chechenians, add to the uncertainty and potential for dangerous outcomes. It's crucial to avoid the worst possible outcome, which could involve an internal battle in Russia with loose nuclear weapons. The situation highlights the importance of avoiding unnecessary involvement in geopolitical conflicts and the challenges of understanding complex international dynamics.
