Are you excited to graduate from college but worried that you might have to interact with people whose race and wealth differs from your own?
00:00:47.320
Well, if you've got this anxiety, if you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking about this,
00:00:54.420
They are holding six multicultural segregated graduation ceremonies because I think that's the best way to show those rich white racists
00:01:07.000
is to separate them from all the other races and all the other income groups.
00:01:25.340
My favorite comment yesterday from Fernando Diaz 7, who says he's pretty sure Don Lemon is not Catholic.
00:01:32.700
So why does he care about what the Pope says on marriage?
00:01:35.860
Why doesn't he speak up on what other religions have to say?
00:01:46.740
When there are attacks on Christianity broadly and specifically on the Catholic Church,
00:01:52.520
it is usually not because of the actual issue at stake.
00:01:58.160
It is usually simply an attack on the church as the basis of and an avatar for the West.
00:02:08.400
So the Quran says that if people commit homosexual acts, they should be punished and harmed.
00:02:16.200
Actually, ironically, what you'll often see is the left embracing Islamists.
00:02:22.620
It's always as part of a broader attack on the West.
00:02:27.460
This is how you could have people like Linda Sarsour holding hands with Gloria Steinem at the Women's March.
00:02:34.000
These two gals might have pretty different views of the world, but they both dislike the West.
00:02:40.360
They want to upend our culture, and so they're going to join together.
00:02:44.580
This is what you see in the process of political correctness.
00:02:47.100
On the one hand, we're told, yes, sex is totally fixed, and if you've got certain desires, you can't change them.
00:02:54.140
Born this way, that's why we have to get rid of the old definition of marriage.
00:02:57.240
Then, at the next breath, they'll say, actually, there's no such thing as sex.
00:03:02.100
But that's why, also, we need to get rid of our old ideas about sex and marriage.
00:03:07.020
Opposite ideas, but it's a purely negative campaign to attack the West.
00:03:12.940
Can't take it at face value because it's not in good faith.
00:03:19.660
Cyber criminals, which is why you've got to check out LifeLock.
00:03:22.100
The IRS issued an urgent warning about a new scam to steal the electronic filing identification numbers from tax professionals over email.
00:03:29.580
Cyber criminals can use this information to file fraudulent tax returns.
00:03:33.520
Tax professionals should be aware of the latest phishing scams, but individuals also should take steps to protect themselves.
00:03:39.740
It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
00:03:43.760
LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web.
00:03:49.240
If they detect your information has potentially been compromised, they will send you an alert.
00:03:54.640
I used to think this kind of stuff doesn't matter.
00:03:56.840
Now, look, if you've been watching the way that technology has developed and technology companies have developed over the past couple years,
00:04:04.960
and you still don't believe cyber security is a big problem demanding your attention, I don't know if I can help you.
00:04:10.500
No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
00:04:14.180
but you can keep what's yours with LifeLock Identity Theft Protection.

Columbia really is hosting six separate graduation ceremonies to segregate students based on their race and their wealth.
00:04:38.200
Now, from what I gather this year, the graduation ceremony is going to be, the commencement ceremony is going to be online.
00:04:45.320
It's going to be on Zoom, so people are going to be paying those exorbitant fees as they have for a year,
00:04:50.900
and they're not going to be getting in-person education.
00:04:53.580
They're going to be, they've completed their Zoom year, now they're going to have a Zoom graduation.
00:04:58.960
The university is now trying to clarify what exactly is going on.
00:05:03.320
So they, they released a statement pointing out that these graduation ceremonies exist in addition to,
00:05:09.700
not instead of, university-wide commencement and individual school class days.
00:05:15.560
These events are voluntary and they're open to every student.
00:05:21.020
What do you mean they're open to every student?
00:05:22.460
They are segregated on the basis of race and income, but they're open to every student.
00:05:31.320
So they'll say, yes, you know, the black student graduation is open to every student.
00:05:36.480
But do you think that if you're a white guy and you show up to the black student graduation,
00:05:42.240
that you're going to be welcomed into that event?
00:05:46.660
As a legal matter, they might have to let you in.
00:05:49.060
But the whole point of the event is to exclude people of other races.
00:05:53.600
But that's not legal, so they have to have these little caveats.
00:05:56.860
I think it's the sort of way that if, if I were at college right now and I wanted to join the African-American Center
00:06:04.380
or the Latino, I don't know, the Latinx now, I guess is what it's called, or La Raza is what it used to be called.
00:06:14.220
But if I wanted to join one of these ethnic interest groups, I think legally they have to let me in.
00:06:21.820
Because we're, in this country, not, not supposed to have racial discrimination.
00:06:30.800
But as a practical matter, you know, something tells me I'm not getting elected president of the AFAM house or chairman of La Raza.
00:06:39.900
Also, the fact that this is voluntary and it's in addition to, how does this make it any better?
00:06:47.020
I guess it may, marginally it makes it better, but it's still so degraded.
00:06:50.800
I remember this from my own graduation from college, which was not that long ago.
00:06:54.580
I graduated, I guess it was kind of long ago now, nine years ago.
00:06:58.460
I was there, you know, all the students are there and all the different dorms and residential colleges and different schools.
00:07:05.140
And I noticed some students had on these weird shawls.
00:07:10.660
And some, one was in a sort of Kente print, a sort of African type print.
00:07:14.400
And that one was the most obvious because you noticed it was black students wearing the Kente print.
00:07:19.000
Not all black students, but everyone who was wearing the print was a black student.
00:07:22.900
And, you know, some other people had different kind of shawls on.
00:07:25.020
And I thought, is that a particular, you know, honor society?
00:07:31.800
Maybe if you graduated cum laude or this or that.
00:07:34.620
And then I realized, no, the shawls that you, that these people were wearing at their graduation
00:07:40.660
were not representative of any academic achievement whatsoever.
00:07:48.560
And you think, my goodness gracious, you go to a place like Columbia, you know, you get
00:07:56.140
All these Ivy League schools are much, much harder to get into than they, than they are
00:08:00.700
Once you're in, you basically can do whatever you want.
00:08:03.140
I was told when I was interviewing for college that it would take an act of violence to be booted
00:08:10.640
And I think that's probably true, but still, you know, whatever you got into it, you know,
00:08:13.440
and you made it all the way through and you've gone through all your courses and you've
00:08:16.560
done all your work and maybe you've worked a job while you've, and you, right, you've,
00:08:20.740
you've achieved something, hopefully, at least it used to stand for something.
00:08:24.880
And at your graduation day, the thing you most want to focus on, the thing you're, you're
00:08:30.640
most proud of, you're wearing it in front of you is the color of your skin.
00:08:37.500
And they, they were doing this at the universities years ago.
00:08:41.840
I mean, now, you know, nine, 10 years ago, how much crazier this has gotten now that
00:08:48.280
They're really, really offensive to consider the most important aspect of one's character
00:08:54.880
There was a new breaking news headline that we now have our first Native American cabinet
00:09:04.500
Deb Haaland has been approved by the Senate to lead the U.S. Department of the Interior.
00:09:11.300
This is part of Joe Biden's campaign to, quote, ensure tribes have a seat at the table
00:09:15.240
at the highest levels of the federal government.
00:09:19.020
I think it's a little too, little too late if we're talking about treaties with the Native
00:09:26.320
But this is being pushed as a sort of woke moment.
00:09:29.980
We finally, isn't it about damn time that we have a Native American cabinet secretary?
00:09:36.340
Except we've already had not a Native American cabinet secretary.
00:09:39.820
We had a Native American vice president almost a hundred years ago, Charles Curtis, vice president
00:09:48.280
from 1929 to 1933, Senate majority leader before that, congressman before that, a Republican,
00:09:58.300
This was not considered a huge breakthrough at the time.
00:10:02.380
Charles Curtis's Native American ancestry and tribal claims and physical appearance.
00:10:11.620
That was not considered particularly important.
00:10:14.940
He had his, he put his importance in what he did, in what he accomplished, in his career.
00:10:20.220
But because we've become so frivolous as a society, we no longer do that.
00:10:28.960
It's just our own, our own inner sense of virtue that we can only really trace to our most superficial
00:10:35.760
But this is part of a larger strategy of indoctrination, and it is taking place on university campuses.
00:10:42.720
It's some of the top university campuses in the country.
00:10:45.200
YAF, the Young America's Foundation, with whom I do my campus speaking tour, back when
00:10:52.100
Hopefully they're going to start again now that the psychopoliticians are letting people
00:11:00.560
This comes from Princeton Theological Seminary that shows just a little bit of the diversity
00:11:09.440
re-education classes that all these students are being subjected to.
00:11:16.580
Kendi states, the work of anti-racism is to identify, describe, and dismantle.
00:11:23.040
Wherever you are in the continuum, the two pandemics demand that we reimagine our society,
00:11:30.960
and indeed our seminary, beyond our current structures and practices.
00:11:35.840
I also think that knowing that every member of our institution has committed themselves to
00:11:41.940
this work offers a powerful testimony to our broader seminary community that we recognize
00:11:48.720
anti-racism formation is a critical component of Christian discipleship and witness, and that
00:11:58.620
I think the anti-racism affirms a holistic theology, right?
00:12:04.020
It acknowledges, and when we acknowledge that this is an issue that's part of our theological
00:12:10.060
understanding, that it's part of our theology and praxis for the future of the church, what
00:12:18.400
I'm excited that it's not a program, that it's being embedded as a way of life in our company
00:12:29.700
Not just a program, not just a course, not just something you tell like, hey, don't be a jerk
00:12:37.060
It is being made the sort of central fact, and this at Princeton Theological Seminary,
00:12:43.580
So they're supposed to be studying religion, and what is true about it is racism is an
00:12:51.660
You know, to hate people on the basis of their race is an affront to human dignity, and that's
00:13:02.900
Chesterton famously said that heresy is not the promotion of vice over virtue, but it's
00:13:09.220
the promotion of one virtue to the exclusion of all the others.
00:13:13.740
I'm not, I'm not even totally going to just dismiss it out of hand.
00:13:18.160
I do want to take the idea seriously, and I do think that there is such a thing as hatred
00:13:21.840
for people based on their race, and I do, and I do think that's wrong, and you know,
00:13:31.360
But to make that the center, to make that the idol of your religion is to lose your religion.
00:13:37.260
You know, when you make idols out of these things that are good in their proper place,
00:13:46.260
The state gives us law and order, and that's how we all get along in society.
00:13:49.260
But when you exalt that into an idol, you get statism.
00:13:54.900
Free markets, for instance, that's a good thing as an instrument to human flourishing.
00:14:01.320
Individuality, good thing to human flourishing, but when you make an idol out of it, you get
00:14:05.620
So you don't want, you want these things in their proper place.
00:14:08.540
This is part of a strategy that the left is using to upend our society, and it's taking
00:14:18.120
And it, it doesn't have very much to do with reality.
00:14:23.660
You'll notice there's a big divergence between what we're being told, this is a white supremacist,
00:14:28.780
horrible country, all the black people are being killed, they're being hunted down, as
00:14:32.380
a famous athlete said, every time they leave their homes, and the reality of it.
00:14:37.260
We'll, we'll get into the reality of that in just one second.
00:14:40.320
But first, you know, you might wonder why I look so rested, why I feel so good in the
00:14:47.240
Bowling Branch makes the absolute softest organic sheets on the market.
00:15:00.260
The signature hemmed sheets from Bowling Branch are a bestseller for a reason.
00:15:06.880
The perfect year-round sheets for most sleepers.
00:15:09.480
I, on occasion, have gotten to stay at very nice high-end hotels, almost exclusively when
00:15:17.660
And the first thing I noticed about really nice high-end hotels, it's the sheets, it's
00:15:22.540
Me, especially in my bachelor days, I would basically sleep on sandpaper, whatever the
00:15:29.080
Bowling Branch is like sleeping at a five-star hotel every single night.

00:15:46.500
I promise you it's going to be the greatest sheets you've ever slept on.
00:15:52.020
Do you want to know what institutional racism really looks like?
00:16:00.860
And that's like, they mean anti-black racism specifically or anti-Mexican or anti-Indian or
00:16:08.420
I'm referring to the Native Americans, not the other, but I guess the other Indians do.
00:16:14.200
You realize, of course, that the left controls all of the institutions, right?
00:16:17.700
Big tech, higher education, lower education, the administrative state, on and on, Hollywood,
00:16:22.020
So if they control all the institutions and there is institutional racism, that would be
00:16:32.260
Two black teens burned a mentally ill white guy to death.
00:16:39.200
The two black teens have been charged with assault and arson.
00:16:46.220
They snuck into the guy's home on Friday afternoon.
00:16:49.260
They sprayed him with an ignitable fluid and they set him on fire until 70% of his body
00:16:59.160
But thankfully, a man, maybe it might've been a mailman or a worker who was checking on the
00:17:04.460
gas and the electric, came into the apartment, tried to put him out, put the guy who was on
00:17:11.220
By the time 9-1-1 got there though, it was too late.
00:17:14.820
The victim fought for his life for four days in a burn trauma unit and then he died.
00:17:20.460
A police source has confirmed the original reporting, which came from Bob Lonsberry,
00:17:30.620
If the races were reversed, this would be a national, actually an international news story
00:17:37.200
and the teens would be called white supremacists and they would certainly go to prison for life
00:17:51.180
There would, if 2020 is any indication, there would be riots all over the streets.
00:17:57.500
People would be stealing private property in the name of social justice.
00:18:01.720
Cities would be on fire, but the races are reversed here.
00:18:06.480
So not only is none of that happening, but none of that's happening in large part.
00:18:12.500
Well, none of it would happen anyway, but one of the reasons none of it's happening is because
00:18:18.120
Are these kids being charged with a hate crime?
00:18:24.720
The idea that, you know, certain crimes are hate crimes.
00:18:34.820
But the idea that you should receive a harsher sentence because of your motivations, that
00:18:39.060
somehow the jury will be able to discern with specificity all of your motivations and then
00:18:45.120
be able to meet out a just punishment based on that.
00:19:00.880
Why these two teenagers are going to be permitted into society ever again is beyond me.
00:19:14.620
You know now I am a Tennessean here in Nashville.
00:19:19.980
Mom says woman killed in police shootout had troubled childhood.
00:19:30.820
I'm not, notice here in this headline, I'm not getting any details about what actually happened.
00:19:36.960
The police killed this woman and she had a hard childhood.
00:19:42.000
Now, because I'm seeing all these excuses in the headline, I'm going into this and I'm
00:19:45.180
thinking this woman must have done something really bad because if you're loading up all
00:19:51.140
the excuses and clouding up all the details in the headline, you know, this is what, whatever
00:19:59.400
The mother of a 31 year old woman who died Friday after an exchange of gunfire, doesn't
00:20:05.320
say who shot first, doesn't say who pulled the gun first, an exchange of gunfire with a
00:20:09.220
Nashville police officer says her daughter was wrong for pulling a gun.
00:20:14.820
Oh, oh, you don't say pulling a gun on the cop.
00:20:21.080
Nobody thinks that's what happened, but still in the story, it's still possible that that's
00:20:25.880
But Lisa Holbert Gooch, who took in her niece, Nika Holbert at age eight and adopted the girl
00:20:32.400
and her younger siblings said she is disturbed by the actions of the Metro Nashville police
00:20:39.860
Well, what, what she just, she's saying, okay, yeah, the girl shouldn't have pulled a gun
00:20:43.640
and tried to shoot cops, but you know, they kind of had it coming because they had some
00:20:51.820
Gooch questions whether officer Josh Baker followed basic traffic stop safety protocols
00:20:58.160
While police chief John Drake said Saturday, he believes Baker handled the situation property.
00:21:02.480
She didn't have to die and he didn't have to get shot.
00:21:05.160
Gooch said in an interview, as she watched video of the deadly incident recorded on Baker's
00:21:09.460
body camera, Gooch said she was concerned for both the officer and her daughter as she saw
00:21:14.560
Holbert exiting the vehicle at the start of the traffic stop.
00:21:17.200
So, okay, now that we're saying that the problem here is that the, not that the cop did anything
00:21:23.100
wrong, but that the woman, when she was pulled over at the traffic stop, got out of her car.
00:21:33.580
Explaining she's always understood that police don't typically allow someone to exit the
00:21:38.760
Holbert fled a parking lot Friday morning at the intersection of Bridge Church Pike and Ewing
00:21:45.020
Having sustained injuries from the gunfire, Holbert crashed roughly a block away before
00:21:51.400
So, they watch the footage and then they talk more about this, the life, you know, and the
00:21:57.840
mother and this sort of how terrible it all is and how unfortunate it all is.
00:22:03.520
Gooch said she was stunned to see Baker searching Holbert's belongings without appearing to take
00:22:08.800
precautions to remain in control of the situation.
00:22:13.020
And after he determined she was not the man Baker was seeking in the first place.
00:22:19.940
This woman was driving a car that belonged to a man with outstanding arrest warrants on
00:22:28.360
Apparently, Holbert, this is in the article, Holbert repeatedly ignored some of Baker's commands
00:22:35.160
The officer declined to stop her while she went back into the car multiple times to retrieve
00:22:39.980
It's like he let her do what she wanted to do, Gooch said.
00:22:45.440
The officer is now being accused of inappropriate behavior because he gave her the opportunity to
00:22:54.640
That's, that was the inappropriate, terrible thing for which this officer should be investigated
00:23:03.540
Now, if he had been too harsh, there would be riots, right?
00:23:07.080
There would, if they were too harsh, you would have extortionist organizations like BLM coming
00:23:12.560
down and, and shaking down corporate America for tens of millions more in donations.
00:23:18.320
And you'd hear this, that he was a racist, but so he doesn't do that.
00:23:23.120
And now, this woman and the newspaper are accusing him of inappropriate behavior because
00:23:37.300
If the races were reversed, the story would not read that way.
00:23:50.140
And it is simply why when you hear these claims from these hucksters, people like Robin DiAngelo,
00:23:57.160
who is making untold sums of money as a race hustler, people like Ibram Kendi, when you hear
00:24:03.460
them talk about institutional racism, you want to say, yes, there is, there are institutional
00:24:12.260
Which disadvantages certain people based on their race and gives advantages to other
00:24:19.460
And there are, I mean, even beyond that, there are racial issues in the country.
00:24:24.780
Racial issues that are being inflamed by people such as DiAngelo and Kendi and by the mainstream
00:24:35.940
But it's because in this country, the absolute worst thing you can be called is a racist.
00:24:41.360
It's, it's why the whole institutional racism thing is so important to the left.
00:24:47.700
It's why they're trying to push this indoctrination.
00:24:49.260
It's the worst thing you can possibly be called in this country.
00:24:52.280
I think that's an evidence, by the way, that it's not a white supremacist country, right?
00:24:55.920
Is that the worst thing you could be called as a white supremacist.
00:24:59.020
So it's, and the, the only race that you're allowed to smear in public that you're actually
00:25:03.280
encouraged to are white people and specifically white guys, right?
00:25:08.080
The only group that you're able to smear is dudes.
00:25:11.480
So you've got all of this built in and it, it bleeds into other areas of public policy
00:25:18.920
Speaking of law enforcement challenges, we now have a record number of migrant kids in
00:25:25.540
Remember, Biden said that if you voted for Trump, we're going to get all these extra kids
00:25:33.120
I voted for Trump and we have more kids in cages, 300% higher than previously known at
00:25:38.880
But because of our bizarre racial ideology that the left is pushing, we can't actually deal
00:25:47.080
And it's, it's harming the people at the border.
00:25:54.120
Speaking of difficult challenges and interesting fights to watch, Cardi B is slandering Candace's

00:27:01.180
CBS News reporting that over 13,000 unaccompanied minors are being held in U.S. custody for an
00:27:19.600
average of 120 hours, which is much longer than the 72 hours permitted by law.
00:27:24.900
More migrants are attempting to cross into the U.S. now than at any time in the past 20 years.
00:27:30.980
This according to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:27:36.620
Worse than it's ever been on every single front.
00:27:44.340
There were lawyers who interviewed some children that were in facilities.
00:27:48.840
The children described sleeping on the floor, being hungry, not seeing the sun for days.
00:27:54.700
How is that acceptable for the Biden administration to keep children in those sorts of conditions,
00:27:59.400
given the fact that she said you weren't in the administration that was going to be more humane
00:28:08.060
It's a very emotional issue for a lot of people.
00:28:13.800
And obviously, these TBP facilities are not made for kids.
00:28:17.540
So one of the reasons or a driving reason why the president has pushed to take all of the
00:28:23.740
actions that I outlined earlier when Phil asked the question is because we want to expedite
00:28:28.640
getting these kids out of these CBP facilities as quickly as possible.
00:28:37.640
Then into sponsored homes while their cases are being considered and adjudicated.
00:28:41.860
Uh, we are trying to work through what was a dismantled and unprepared system because of
00:28:52.760
We're trying to work through what was a dismantled and unprepared system.
00:28:55.760
I thought that the criticism of the past administration was that they were too good at putting kids
00:29:03.200
I thought the problem was that the system of border security under Trump was too good, right?
00:29:08.760
That it was so inhumane because they were just nabbing all these kids and they weren't letting
00:29:14.840
They were grabbing them and imprisoning them in cages.
00:29:17.740
Remember cages that coincidentally the Obama Biden administration built.
00:29:22.360
Now you're telling me that the system wasn't good enough.
00:29:32.700
They're going to attack Trump for opposite reasons.
00:29:35.920
Just like we were talking about it at the top of the show.
00:29:38.760
You, you see the left levying attacks on the West generally and the church specifically
00:29:44.000
for opposite reasons because they just don't care.
00:29:49.440
The consequence, the effect, the attack is the point in itself.
00:29:56.460
The, the real fault here of course is lays with the Biden administration.
00:30:01.940
We're now several months in to the Biden administration.
00:30:04.860
And by the way, the original policy, Joe Biden bears a fair amount of responsibility for anyway.
00:30:12.600
I understand the idea of these facilities not being designed by children, but children
00:30:16.920
being hungry, sleeping on the floor, not being allowed outside for days at a time.
00:30:21.320
Why is that acceptable to go on even for one more day?
00:30:23.800
Why is that something that's not being outlawed right now?
00:30:26.180
How is the administration not stopping that today?
00:30:28.420
Well, Yamisha, it's not acceptable, but I think the challenge here is that there are only,
00:30:40.700
There are not that many options because I remember I'm thinking way back in the Trump administration.
00:30:52.660
We then have to figure out what to deal with them.
00:30:55.360
What the left wanted, what they were encouraging Trump to do was just let everybody in, but the law won't let you do that.
00:31:00.920
Even if Trump wanted to, and it would be a bad idea to do that, but the law won't let you do it.
00:31:04.840
Now, these kids are often with people who are posing as their relatives, but who often aren't their relatives.
00:31:11.360
They can be coyotes, they can be just sort of random people mashed together because they know that the immigration system goes easier on people who have children with them.
00:31:21.400
So, just as the Biden administration is doing, you have to vet who are these adults who are with the minors.
00:31:28.800
Now, the adults go to facilities that are administered by the police, right, by CBP, by other agencies.
00:31:37.840
Otherwise, the children should not be going to the jails, right?
00:31:42.940
I think we all agree on the left, we don't want the children to be sitting in the jails.
00:31:46.720
So, the children would go to places administered by Health and Human Services, but that would require a separation.
00:31:52.960
And you need a separation anyway because you've got to vet who these people are because you don't know because they're entering your country illegally.
00:32:01.140
We're going to send some people back, that's not acceptable.
00:32:03.340
We're going to let some people in the country, that's not acceptable either.
00:32:08.940
So, now, not only has the Biden administration not made anything better, the Biden administration has made this situation much, much worse.
00:32:22.240
And that ultimately, I think all of the Biden arguments come back to that.
00:32:26.800
He isn't doing anything more effectively or efficient than President Trump.
00:32:35.360
But even in some very basic instances where you have to have some kind of a border, he's not doing any of it better, but he's got better intentions.
00:32:43.640
That's what Jen Psaki was asked this a week or two ago.
00:32:46.820
She was asked, do you think that Biden has a messaging problem here down at the border?
00:32:50.820
She said, well, the past administration had a morality problem.
00:32:59.580
But, you know, what about, like, what's actually happening?
00:33:02.700
Like, sure, I get that you feel like you're on the moral high ground and you can be very sanctimonious and you've got the purest of intentions.
00:33:10.800
But, lady, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
00:33:13.580
How come your policies in practice are so much worse?
00:33:20.500
But in my intentions, they're really, really good.
00:33:28.260
I can't wait for the apology letters to file, flow in to President Trump down in Florida.
00:34:00.880
Chalk another one up to the white supremacist patriarchy.
00:34:05.200
You had a lesbian woman who was getting roles in Hollywood,
00:34:12.120
And now, all of her roles, all of her attention,
00:34:29.460
But if we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people,
00:34:39.160
If we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people,
00:34:46.920
and people who are pushing this transgender ideology,
00:34:58.120
behaves in some ways that you might say are feminine.
00:35:18.880
But sometimes, because of the complexity of our world,
00:35:21.500
It is a gross oversimplification of that complexity
00:35:26.540
to say that if the boy ever reaches for a pink t-shirt,
00:35:33.520
And you've got to mutilate him and pump him full of hormones
00:35:36.180
and make him appear a little bit more like a girl.
00:35:40.360
That is not complicating our understanding of human nature.
00:35:58.320
It actually comes back to the sin that caused the fall of man,
00:36:02.060
This idea that I know better than anybody else.
00:36:08.680
I know the relationship of the body to the soul
00:36:13.520
I know the reality of sex better than every single person who lived before, like, 2004.
00:36:25.420
And it comes back to this real error, which, unfortunately,
00:36:28.360
the reason I mention this here is because this is an error that pervades our politics.
00:36:41.020
Our bodies are, to borrow a phrase from Rush Limbaugh,
00:36:50.000
and we're probably not going to decide how we go out of this world.
00:37:01.500
We have been given this gift of ourself by God.
00:37:04.720
We have intellect, we have will, and we have obligations
00:37:10.360
Our, you don't have to go back to the Middle Ages, you know,
00:37:15.280
to see these kinds of ideas being understood in a widespread manner.
00:37:23.760
Our creator endows us with certain unalienable rights,
00:37:30.240
And as part of that, there are certain obligations,
00:37:32.240
and we come together, and we form a polity for these purposes,
00:37:34.740
and we have duty to one another, and we sacrifice,
00:37:57.240
but deep down, somewhere in a non-physical space,
00:38:09.700
this idea that the physical has nothing to do with reality,
00:38:15.260
materialism, the idea that we are nothing more than bags of meat
00:38:20.660
and we are nothing more than the sum total of our desires,
00:38:28.080
because there's no such thing as a moral order.
00:38:42.340
for the same reason that we've been talking about
00:38:45.260
because the arguments themselves do not matter to the left.
00:38:51.200
which until recently was grounded on the true understanding
00:39:01.260
The technical term for it from old Uncle Aristotle
00:39:06.420
There's this spiritual component to who we are,
00:39:14.880
That is the only idea you're not allowed to hold,
00:39:37.260
She is now changing her pronouns to she and they,
00:39:45.960
I mentioned this one, not to talk about it too much,
00:39:55.820
we're also having objects identify as subjects.
00:40:29.820
Pretty soon the bios will just be blah, blah, blah.
00:40:54.080
you know, changing the language through newspeak
