It's been a full week and left wing journalists are still complaining about how hot Sydney Sweeney looks in some new sports commercial. That part I guess is to be expected, but a weekend right wingers are defending Sydney Sweeney's mostly nude gambling ad as conservative and the craziest part of all is they're right.

On top of that, we learn even more about the lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy case whose racial and religious identity is similarly confounding the usual preferences of the left and the right. I love it. And James Talarico names his favorite drag queen. I'm Michael Knowles.

Welcome back to the show. Today is the day. If you are not watching this show on dailywire.com right now, that means you're not a Daily Wire subscriber, which means you are not going to be watching Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, but you have to watch it. Right now, listen, you know I love you out there in Spotify, and YouTube, and MySpace, and AOL Instant Messenger, and wherever you're watching this show, you need to go to dailywire.com/subscribe.

You need to be in the conversation. You need to see the Moschitzko movie. The essentially that Mr. Davies' favorite movie that's ever been made, including all the movies that he's ever been in. You have to go see it. Red Dawn, but not just commies, also has jihadis in there, dailywire.com/subscribe. We will get to the Sydney Sweeney ad, maybe the best tease I've ever had on this show. First, I want to tell you about Hillsdale. Go to hillsdale.edu/knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. One of the quickest ways to convince someone that a great book is boring is to assign it when he's 15, hand him a worksheet and ask what the curtains symbolize in the book. The problem is usually not the book, it is how the book was introduced. This has been true of a number of books that I've read over the years, that I've come back to revisit. Crime and Punishment would be a great example of this. Lots of others though. Pride and Prejudice, I hated Pride and Prejudice when I first read it, then I realized it's like one of the greatest novels ever. A great teacher does more than explain what happens in a story. He helps you recognize why it matters. That is what Professor Benedict Whalen does in Hillsdale College's completely free online course. Across 12 engaging lectures, he guides you through the epic, bringing its characters, choices and deeper questions to life. You will examine why Odysseus chooses the difficult journey home over comfort and immortality, and what Homer's story teaches us about duty, family, self-command, and the good life. Right now, go to hillsdale.edu/knowles to enroll. I'm a huge fan of Hillsdale. It is one of the last few serious institutions of higher learning in the United States. Very honored that I will be joining the Hillsdale class of 2027 for their commencement exercises. So you can be part of the Hillsdale community. Head on over to hillsdale.edu/knowles to enroll totally free, read deeply, think clearly, start right now at hillsdale.edu/knowles.

I spent a week trying not to cover the Sydney Sweeney ad. Because I got enough sins, I gotta confess, I didn't feel like I needed to cover the Sydney Sweeney nude, not totally nude, but mostly nude gambling ad. I said, you know what, I'm just gonna let this go. People can talk about it, but people are still talking about it. And the left in particular is really upset. The feminists, the defenders of women's sports, so ironic. These libs who have spent the last six years destroying women's sports by letting hulking dudes into them. All of a sudden they say, no, no, no, the real threat to women's sports is how hot Sydney Sweeney is. So, look, I spent seven days not covering it. Here it is. You want it? You want it? Here it is. Here's the Sydney Sweeney ad.

So, for those of you who are only listening, think you know sports? The ad is mostly Sydney Sweeney walking around, looking good, looking really good and being mostly naked but covering upper body in sports paraphernalia. You know, different balls and baubles. Okay. All right. You get the point. You get the point of the ad. So, the criticism of this ad, the chief criticism, is that Sydney Sweeney is sexualizing women in sports. And we'll get to what would have been the conservative criticism. We'll get to how kind of weird it is that conservatives are now defending what is close to pornography, which is being promoted in defense of gambling. And okay, we'll get to that.
