Okay, fellas, since Hollywood can't do anything right anymore, we did their job for them. The Daily Wire's newest movie is an ode to the great funny action films of the 80s and 90s. Good guys win, bad guys lose. No one apologizes for it. Check out Run Hide Fight Infidels now, streaming only on The Daily Wire.
Andrew Klavan (0:17)
It could be time to slow down, though.
Michael Knowles (0:20)
I know, yeah, I mean, we're really...
Andrew Klavan (0:23)
Well, I gotta keep up.
Michael Knowles (0:24)
I mean, Ben, you know, Ben, I thought I was gonna tie you, finally, and then you pulled ahead. And Walsh, it's impossible.
Ben Shapiro (0:29)
You know, neither of us is catching. Well, Walsh keeps cheating. He keeps having twins. So like, he's taking shortcuts. The shortcuts are both...
Michael Knowles (0:36)
Yeah, I know, I know. It's like, that's totally not fair, but... So what were they going after you for? On the Noah Hide laws? I didn't... What was this?
Ben Shapiro (0:45)
I said that under... Because, yeah, because in Jewish...
Oh my God, because everyone's a retard. So under Jewish theology, in Jewish theology, the 10 commandments apply to the Jews and the prior to Jewish morality was Noah.
Michael Knowles (1:00)
Yeah.
Ben Shapiro (1:01)
And so there are seven laws called the Noah Hide laws. Okay? And so under Judaism, that means that everyone who's not Jewish, you don't have to convert, you get into heaven just by keeping those basic laws, which are very... which mirror the 10 commandments. Now, again, this doesn't mean... It's the opposite of me saying you have to convert to Judaism or quote-unquote be a Noah Hide. My point is that Christians are Noah Hides by definition under Jewish law.
Because those laws are things like, don't commit idolatry, don't commit blasphemy, don't eat the flesh of a living animal, don't murder people, don't commit theft. Like, this is all... I finished that statement, the one that they keep quoting, by saying to this kid who's wearing a Jesus' King T-shirt, I literally say to him, I'm glad you believe in Jesus. You should keep going to church. You should get all of your friends to go to church. America needs a Christian revival in order to survive. That's the end of my statement.
I didn't even see what people were bashing. Tucker literally told Jimmy Dory, Tucker told Jimmy Dory, I want to cut the heads off Christians.
Michael Knowles (1:52)
No, only me, only Christians. Only one. The head chopping is usually reserved for his friends.
Andrew Klavan (2:01)
Did Tucker really say that? Yes.
Ben Shapiro (2:03)
He said this on Jimmy Dory today.
He said that Ben Shapiro, he implied it. He was like, you know, because under Maimonides, Maimonides considered, I think it is what he did, that he considered Christians idolaters, all this kind of stuff, and therefore they would have violated the Noahide laws, and therefore they would be beheaded. Except that modern Jews don't hold by Maimonides on this. Just like in every other religion, there are arguments internally, and pretty much all Jews accept that Christians are not idolaters, so this is not an issue.
Michael Knowles (2:32)
No, hold on. You're telling me a bunch of Jews disagree with each other? I've never heard that.
Andrew Klavan (2:35)
I'm hearing it for the first time. I know. Crazy.
Ben Shapiro (2:37)
Crazy. I mean, by the way, if Jews didn't disagree with each other, then either you would all be Jews or I would be a Christian.
Andrew Klavan (2:42)
Yeah.
Ben Shapiro (2:42)
Because right at the beginning, it was a bunch of Jews disagreeing with each other.
Michael Knowles (2:44)
Also, isn't the Talmud just rabbis disagreeing with each other? It was weird because whenever I see-
Ben Shapiro (2:49)
Yes, in the most annoying possible fashion about total minutiae.
Michael Knowles (2:52)
Whenever I saw that clip, I was like, I don't know. I can usually see at least the argument people are making. But with that one, I was like, I don't even understand what they think the problem. I don't know.
That one eluded me.
Ben Shapiro (3:04)
I was confused by it. But anyway, yeah. Confession is like I'm biased, but it's kind of a masterpiece.
Michael Knowles (3:12)
Do we have the trailer?
Andrew Klavan (3:55)
Let me out!
Michael Knowles (3:57)
You will remember your duty.
Chris Hansen (3:59)
This isn't heroism!
Michael Knowles (4:01)
You useless sod.
Ben Shapiro (4:02)
You sit there and shake because you're dependent on a drink.
Michael Knowles (4:05)
Your sick is all over you.
Ben Shapiro (4:08)
Have you ever seen a child starve to death, Professor?
