00:00:35.000You know, the guest stuff is always a little bit stressful for me because there's the technology component where, you know, it's always something, right?
00:01:21.000So, we're going to be talking about that.
00:01:23.000There's a lot to say about it, there's really a lot to get into, a lot of angles to explore.
00:01:29.000And fundamentally, it's something that we talk a lot about on the show, which is responsibility.
00:01:36.000You know, all day long we talk about on the show whether it's abortion, Whether it's mass incarceration, whether it's health care, taxes, or immigration, it all comes down to who is responsible for the suffering.
00:01:51.000So, we're going to take, I think, a pretty nuanced look, a pretty sophisticated look that is the whole truth.
00:01:59.000I think it's pretty much the most context that you're going to get in this conversation when you have crying kids.
00:02:06.000It's such a pain when you have to dodge and try and walk on eggshells about it.
00:02:52.000We had it on Maker Support for a long time.
00:02:55.000And when we had it on Maker Support, it was the number one website, or I'm sorry, it was the number one project on Maker Support.
00:03:02.000A few people know this, but if you, and there's no real way, there wasn't like a real ranking, but I basically went to all the other accounts.
00:03:09.000Ours was the number one account, not by subscribers, I think it was by subscribers and also by revenue.
00:03:15.000So it was the biggest project by far until it got shut down, but it is back on my website.
00:03:21.000If you just go, I did a little tutorial at about the halfway mark on yesterday's show.
00:03:25.000I may do it towards the middle of this show as well.
00:03:28.000We've already got more than 40 people who signed up.
00:04:00.000And last but certainly not least, also pertaining to the paywall, there's a brand new episode of America First World Report, which has just been uploaded an hour ago or about a half hour ago on the premium page for the website.
00:04:15.000So I've emailed the first 40 people or so their login information.
00:04:22.000I emailed the first 40 their login information so they're able to get in.
00:04:26.000People who signed up after like 2 o'clock, they're going to have to wait until I sift through it tonight because we're doing a temporary thing where I have to manually make all the accounts.
00:04:34.000That'll be fixed by the middle of the week, but you'll have to bear with me.
00:05:47.000If you've been paying attention to the news, it was, you never heard about it last week.
00:05:52.000And then all of a sudden, it's on every cable network, it's all over the radio, it's all over, it's everywhere, it's all over the internet, social media.
00:06:01.000And you look at the coverage, and you don't even have to take my word for it.
00:06:05.000If you look at the statistics about the coverage, almost all the coverage, Is emotions.
00:06:13.000If you go on Media Eight, I believe if you look at the numbers there, I'm sorry, maybe it's not Media Eight.
00:06:19.000I think I saw this number on Daily Caller, but some absurd amount of the coverage is just like audio of children crying, or it's people saying, This is a humanitarian disaster.
00:06:33.000I mean, there is a place for humanitarian concern in all areas of policy not to be negated, but when we make decisions, That impacts the country on a national level.
00:06:46.000We have to use our brains, not our hearts.
00:06:49.000And this is something I told Patrick Little about.
00:06:52.000This is the big contention that there was there.
00:06:54.000For people on the left this time, they may feel really bad that people are being separated.
00:06:59.000Hey, people on the right might even feel bad.
00:07:01.000You see the videos, you see the clips and the audio.
00:07:05.000And of course, the people who play it are very pernicious because all of this is by design, all of this is manipulating you to support open borders.
00:07:14.000We can understand why people might feel compassionate towards children.
00:07:19.000Because although the immigrants brought them here, although they really didn't have a lot of agency, they're helpless, right?
00:07:27.000But of course, when we make these big decisions that impact a nation, that impact 330 million people and their descendants, we can't give in simply to the emotions.
00:07:39.000So this show is going to be basically the Ben Shapiro show.
00:07:42.000It's going to be the facts don't care about your feelings show.
00:08:11.000It wasn't that all of a sudden you had a big problem with children being separated, and there was a public outcry, and the journalists who are on the ground heard about this and reported it.
00:08:31.000And the point of this is to frame the immigration conversation.
00:08:36.000Because you look at the progress on the immigration bills, whether it's the Goodlot bill or it's the Paul Ryan bill, and Donald Trump has backed the Democrats into a corner where they're heading into the midterms.
00:08:47.000And Donald Trump is saying, look, you can have reasonable border security and even have your DACA, or you could just not come to the negotiating table and you'll have nothing at all.
00:08:58.000And so, had they allowed that framing, Remain in place for the election, it's a remarkably weak hand.
00:09:04.000How could they defend that to Democrats saying we're doing our job, we're doing what we can to protect DACA recipients and all the rest?
00:09:11.000We are a viable party when they can't protect the DACA kids.
00:09:15.000And how could they tell anybody else that they are really trying to solve the problem if there's a bill that has protections for DACA kids on the, or I'm sorry, not DACA kids, DACA people, most of them are the average age is 24, so they're not really kids.
00:09:30.000Talking fast, you say the wrong thing, that's okay.
00:09:33.000But how could they say that they did everything they could to protect the Democratic constituency, which is Hispanics, which is the DACA recipients, when there was a bill on the table that had protections?
00:10:09.000And at the same time, they've also framed DACA and the other three pillars in a way that is incredibly favorable to the Republicans and would severely hurt the Democrats.
00:10:18.000So what you are seeing right now, forget about the issue for a moment.
00:10:22.000Forget about the numbers and the kids and all the rest.
00:10:50.000It's that Democrats are trying to reframe the immigration issue, regain the initiative on that, and frame Donald Trump as, well, you know, maybe there's DACA in the bill, but do they have this new thing that we have a problem with?
00:11:22.000It came from a very desperate Democratic Party, which is trying to cobble together a platform because the Mueller investigation has been completely delegitimized by the IG report.
00:11:32.000North Korea is going very successfully.
00:11:36.000Immigration, we had a fix right on the table to be negotiated.
00:11:40.000And so this is Democrats throwing a wrench in.
00:11:43.000In many ways, it's comparable to that Gold Star family, if you remember.
00:11:47.000During the 2016 election, after the Democratic National Congress, when they selected Hillary Clinton as their nominee for president, you had the, what were they called?
00:11:58.000They were called the Khans, the Khan family.
00:12:01.000And it was Kisra Khan and Gazankadong Kong.
00:12:05.000They had these very strange Aladdin names.
00:13:21.000And they're separated from their families, and that's unfortunate.
00:13:24.000So, we have in this instance the problem is that, well, kids are lost into the country, they're separated from their family, they're very upset, and all the rest.
00:13:32.000Now, a reasonable person says, well, how can we stop people from getting into situations that are bad for them?
00:14:02.000They would say, you have these poor kids that are in here, whether you think it's a good thing or a bad thing, we don't want this to happen.
00:14:10.000It's estimated that anywhere between 50 and 70 to 99% of women who cross the border on their way from Central America and Mexico across the American border get raped or sexually abused.
00:14:59.000And what we see, the statistics show this every single time that there is talk in the Congress, in the media about amnesty, every single time without fail, the amount of illegal immigrants skyrockets.
00:15:14.000And this is every time for like 20 years.
00:15:17.000And you could see, predictably, this trend played out in the most recent bout of negotiations about amnesty.
00:15:23.000Because, of course, people in Mexico, people in Central America, they hear there's a limited window.
00:15:30.000A limited opportunity where if they sneak in now, they'll get in before the wall.
00:15:34.000They'll get in before they say, okay, no more.
00:15:37.000And then they'll get factored in, they'll get their amnesty, they'll become citizens.
00:15:42.000It's a little thing called moral hazard.
00:15:44.000The incentive is that if there's no wall, if there's no real enforcement, no real prosecution, we catch them, we release them, there's no way to verify they can make a living, they can get on welfare and all the rest.
00:15:56.000What is the incentive for people that are poor and in Mexico and in El Salvador and Guatemala?
00:16:02.000If you're a poor peasant or a poor urban dweller or something and you see across the border they're just giving away free stuff and all you have to do is take a somewhat difficult journey, well, of course you're going to make the trip.
00:16:16.000That's why I think the whole conversation is wrong to begin with.
00:16:20.000You know, we need to make these people more comfortable.
00:16:23.000They come over here, it's very brutal, it's very hard.
00:16:25.000Well, we need to make it more comfortable so that they can make this brutal, hard journey and come into a place of suffering.
00:16:32.000You know, in many ways, we're doing them a service by disincentivizing.
00:16:35.000When you see the ICE agents kicking over the buckets of water and we're sending people back and we're building up a barrier, we're doing them a service because they think twice about coming.
00:16:46.000It's better for them, it's better for us.
00:16:48.000Not that we even, and this is for people to care about that.
00:16:51.000I care about American citizens, not so much Mexican citizens.
00:16:54.000But let's entertain that we do care about them.
00:16:57.000The best thing for them is to put up a wall, send them back, disincentivize in every way that you can them coming over here, and they think twice.
00:17:08.000They remain where they are and they don't get abused.
00:17:26.000And I know people who watch this show, it doesn't work on us.
00:17:29.000If you watch this show, it doesn't work on you because you're 250 IQ, you're an American nationalist, patriot, so it doesn't work on you.
00:17:38.000But you do hear a lot of moderate Republicans or independents or moderate people say, well, you know, we may not agree with mass immigration, we may not agree with open borders, but it's the kids.
00:17:52.000If they did, number one, they wouldn't be like pedophiles, number two, they wouldn't incentivize people to make this perilous journey.
00:17:59.000Where they're abused, where they're trafficked, where there's crime and gangs and violence.
00:18:04.000So that's the first fallacy right out of the gate.
00:18:08.000But the ultimate conversation that has to be had I mean, forget for a moment about the fact that Amnesty incentivizes these people to come over here.
00:18:16.000Forget about the fact that, by the way, you look at the 12,000 kids that have been separated from their families, 10,000 of them, 10,000 out of 12,000 were not accompanied by family members, they were accompanied by strangers.
00:18:32.000So, get that through your head for a moment before we proceed.
00:18:35.00012,000 kids separated from their families.
00:18:38.000And what happens is illegal immigrants will come across the border with kids.
00:18:44.000And what happens is this for a short time, they could hold the parents with the kids.
00:18:48.000But if they're going to prosecute people for illegal entry, it's a protracted process.
00:18:53.000In the meantime, they have to release the kids because you can't incarcerate the kids in jail.
00:18:58.000So, what happens is Trump changes the rule.
00:19:01.000In April of 2018, so that we prosecute all the people coming across illegally.
00:19:05.000And what happens is the ones that come with kids, they have to get released so that the people that came across can be prosecuted.
00:19:11.000So it's either you have catch and release where the parents come here, we don't prosecute them, they all come across the border anyway, or we incarcerate the parents and release the kids temporarily.
00:19:21.000But let's think about the numbers for a second.
00:19:24.000Out of the 12,000 kids that are separated from their parents because they broke the law, because they came across illegally, 10,000 of those kids didn't even come with their parents.
00:19:35.000They say separated from their parents.
00:19:37.000They were separated before they came across the border.
00:19:40.000The parents in Mexico sent the kids across the border with strangers, with traffickers, with smugglers, with all kinds of people, not their parents.
00:20:44.000And time and time again, we always just look at the middle of the story.
00:20:49.000And if you watch this show a lot, you know what I mean by this.
00:20:52.000We always stop in the middle of the story where you have all these helpless kids and they're so sad, and what are we going to do about them?
00:20:58.000But we don't look at the fact that their parents or whoever it was, the smugglers, whoever, made the decision first to put them in this position.
00:21:08.000It's not like there has to be 12,000 illegal unaccompanied minors in the country.
00:21:31.000Individuals with agency made a conscious choice to break the law, to come into the country, and subject themselves to the risks of breaking the law and the consequences.
00:21:44.000If I send my kids, there is a possibility they'll get caught.
00:21:56.000America, the government, the state, a country has an obligation and a responsibility to enforce the laws, to keep its people safe, to uphold the rule of law, all these things.
00:22:08.000That's a responsibility our government has to its people and nobody else.
00:22:12.000A parent's responsibility is to take care of its kids or their kids.
00:22:17.000If the parents send the kids across the border, It is not the state's responsibility to take care of them.
00:22:22.000It's not the state's responsibility to make sure that they're comfortable and they're okay and they're with their parents.
00:24:13.000We can admit these are problems, these are negative externalities in a society.
00:24:17.000But in each case, there are choices made by free people to create these problems that were not made by law abiding, tax paying citizens of America.
00:24:29.000Well, in some of these cases, they are, not for the immigration issue.
00:24:32.000In the abortion issue, sure, we have unwanted pregnancies.
00:24:36.000You have a woman, oh, she's poor, she can't raise the kid.
00:24:47.000Hey, even if it was protected, there are many circumstances where it's not 100%.
00:24:54.000So, in any case, you had a person, you had a woman and a man who made a choice to accept this risk so that they could have this temporary benefit, so that they could basically cheat the system.
00:25:06.000They could get this carnal pleasure without the risk, without the consequence.
00:26:02.000In every case, you had people who were willing and able to break the law, to commit crimes.
00:26:08.000The reason you have mass incarceration is because black people commit a disproportionate amount of crime in every kind of crime.
00:26:16.000There was one criminologist who put it pretty succinctly.
00:26:19.000They commit 10 times more rapes, 10 times more armed robberies, 10 times more homicides than white people.
00:26:25.000And so the reason you have mass incarceration is not because the system is broken, it's bad, people have to change things, we have to accommodate.
00:26:33.000It's because people made irresponsible, bad decisions.
00:26:48.000And the way that you get people to do it is to disincentivize by allowing consequences to move forward.
00:26:55.000Consequences move forward, and then people think twice.
00:26:59.000If people, if other young girls look at, uh oh, the town whore, you know, she made a big mistake, and now she's raising kids in high school.
00:27:08.000The other women look at her and say, she couldn't get out of it so quickly.
00:28:25.000The way the system works is such that the reason the kids are separated is because the parents are being prosecuted or whoever is accompanied with the kids are being prosecuted.
00:28:38.000You either have open borders, you release the kids in, there's no penalty, there's no consequence, there's a big incentive for them to come pouring across the border into this terrible situation, or eventually we just give the Democrats what they want and we just build roads paved with gold for people to pour in and take our stuff, or we enforce the law.
00:28:57.000Actions have consequences, and the problem fixes itself.
00:29:01.000You don't want to get separated, you don't come across the border, you don't send your kids, and anything like that.
00:29:08.000It's a little thing called personal responsibility, personal accountability.
00:29:12.000Hey, you know, when I went to Charlottesville and people are sending me death threats and nobody will hire me ever again, and I couldn't even get accepted into a school with a 76% acceptance rate, which, by the way, you know, I had a 34 ACT.
00:30:22.000What we have is a system that panders to one group of people or many groups of a particular kind of person.
00:30:29.000And the people that support the system are just left out to dry.
00:30:32.000The people that pay the taxes, that go to work, that vote, that do what we're supposed to do, we're expected to foot the bill for everything.
00:30:39.000We're expected to pay for everything, to feel sorry, to accommodate.
00:30:43.000And by the way, none of those accommodations are extended to us.
00:30:46.000God forbid we get in any trouble, right?
00:30:48.000So that's fundamentally where we're at as a society.
00:30:51.000And it's very telling that it is allowed to be framed this way because I have a feeling that in a more enlightened time, when there was a more transparent relationship between actions and consequences, this would be a no brainer.
00:31:46.000I don't know if that's totally legitimate.
00:31:48.000He went today and spoke at a conference of small business owners and said, you have to separate the kids.
00:31:53.000And he's been doing a great job of framing it as open borders versus enforcement, which is taking away the kids.
00:32:00.000But there was a report that just came out before the show went live.
00:32:04.000That in a huddle with GOP congressional leaders on Capitol Hill, he said he wants a fix for this problem.
00:32:10.000You know, what needs to be fixed in an immigration bill?
00:32:14.000Not only does he want the fix to be in a bill and he wants it fixed and all the rest, Ted Cruz proposed a standalone bill where they would just vote on it and it would make it so that if kids were brought here, it would be a little bit more lenient in terms of if they could stay with the parents in detention facilities and they'd have more detention facilities so that they could have the kids and parents stay together while the parents are on trial.
00:32:37.000That was endorsed by Cruz, earlier endorsed by Trump.
00:32:40.000Today, after the huddle on Capitol Hill, he said, Not only do I want a legislative fix for this, he says he wants it incorporated into an immigration bill.
00:32:51.000And this is scary because we talked about this yesterday.
00:32:54.000The two bills that are on the floor of the House right now are the Good Lot bill and the Paul Ryan bill.
00:33:00.000The Good Lot bill does not have the votes right now.
00:33:03.000They have, at most, they've estimated 170 votes.
00:33:08.000That's the most accurate estimate right now 170 votes.
00:33:13.000And that's before we even get into the Senate.
00:33:16.000So the Good Lot bill, which remember would have had no pathway to citizenship for the DOC recipients, would have had an end to the diversity visa lottery, an end to chain migration, and $25 billion for the wall.
00:33:33.000The bill that we're left with, the moderate bill, the Paul Ryan bill, which thankfully doesn't have the votes yet, but we'll see what happens, does not have any of the aforementioned items, the four pillars that Trump mentioned as far back as January.
00:33:47.000The only one that it's true to is the diversity visa lottery, which it ends, but they have a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million DACA recipients.
00:33:57.0001.8 million get a pathway to citizenship through green cards or other methods.
00:34:04.000$25 billion for a wall in basically a promissory note.
00:34:07.000They say, well, in a future Congress, maybe we'll allocate money over the next several years.
00:34:39.000The only bill that would even make sense as a compromise, and even then I wouldn't be too gung ho about it, doesn't even come close to the votes.
00:34:47.000What they're trying to do right now is this moderate bill, and now they're trying to cram in.
00:34:59.000And the worst part is a good lot Mark Meadows, all the people that did the conservative bill say they support the moderate bill.
00:35:07.000So it looks like there's very little that stands in the way of this amnesty bill with no money for the wall and amnesty for millions of people.
00:35:16.000The only thing between that and becoming law is Democrats who may or may not be cajoled into joining it and a veto by President Trump.
00:35:25.000So It's a little bit nerve wracking right now.
00:35:29.000I will say, however, that there is a pretty telling contradiction, or at least a dissonance, between what Trump is saying about the bill and what he's saying on Twitter and his public statements.
00:35:42.000And I think that's not a negligible thing.
00:35:44.000Because Trump has come out very strongly since this has really gained a lot of traction, saying America will not be a migrant camp, saying that it's either open borders and you don't separate the kids, or you separate the kids and we enforce the law, saying you have to separate the kids.
00:36:02.000Excuse me, a report that came out in Politico today, which said that Stephen Miller and other White House aides are ruthlessly prosecuting illegals.
00:36:10.000They're cutting down on immigration the most possible so that by September they can present to voters progress on immigration enforcement.
00:36:18.000So you have a lot of rhetoric comparing the immigration situation to Germany and the high crime, changing the culture, comparing it to MS 13, talking about open borders, and him saying that there will be amnesty.
00:36:30.000And so it's tough to say where we go from here.
00:36:33.000Certainly, if the Paul Ryan bill gets any support from the Democrats, which it doesn't look like it will right now, it's tough to say.
00:36:40.000I think Trump will be in a pretty difficult situation because, you know, just like with the DACA deal, he has expressed some kind of half hearted support for this.
00:37:09.000We see the DACA, or I'm sorry, the children being separated, and there's kind of been two schools of thought from the White House comms on how do we counter this narrative.
00:37:21.000Democrats say the kids are sad, they're crying.
00:37:24.000Isn't that, you know, that's a compelling thing to show people, women in particular, moderates, all the rest.
00:37:30.000And there's been kind of two schools of thought on how to counter that.
00:37:33.000Trump, kind of, but most of the comms department, most of, you know, the, uh, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Nielsen from Homeland Security and the one from HHS, they've all been saying, well, the reason this is happening is because Democrats have made it this way, because the law says it has to be this way.
00:37:53.000And the Democrats have to change the laws.
00:37:56.000And Trump has admittedly gone along with that as well, saying, change your laws.
00:38:15.000And so, on the one hand, you could say, well, is it kind of effective because it presents Democrats as obstructionists and they won't change the law and therefore it's their fault in theory?
00:38:28.000But this is not a compelling argument at all.
00:38:30.000The Republicans control the House and the Senate, and most people don't know that you need 51 votes in the Senate.
00:38:36.000Most people don't know that you have to cobble together a big coalition.
00:38:39.000They know that Trump is in the White House.
00:38:41.000They know the Republicans are in the House and the Senate to try and spin it as We're just helpless.
00:38:46.000The Democrats won't let us change the law.
00:39:30.000It doesn't work because you're still talking about illegal immigrants and feeling bad for them.
00:39:35.000Trump has really innovated on this one in terms of the rhetoric about the U.S. being a migrant camp, comparing it to Germany and what happened in Europe.
00:39:58.000People, you know, if you're saying, well, we're open borders light, people are going to go with the open borders people.
00:40:03.000You know, if it's this issue or we really believe in this issue, they're going to go for the Democrats.
00:40:09.000If Republicans are like, you know, we're amnesty, but kind of not quite, kind of in the middle, and we still get blamed for, you know, ruthless enforcement, they're going to go with the Democrats.
00:40:18.000The answer is to present an equally compelling narrative against the whole premise, against immigration altogether.
00:40:28.000Don't say, We're actually the party of protecting immigrants.
00:41:01.000And what we're finding about Mimetics, about narrative, about rhetoric, at least I think what Donald Trump is exploring for the Republican Party, he's on the frontier of this, is that we cannot exist solely as a negation of the Democrats.
00:41:17.000Our rhetoric, our policies cannot solely be, but not that, not Obamacare, not the bailout, not this, not taxes.
00:41:25.000It has to be a positive vision, it has to be something that is equally compelling, a totally different worldview, a totally different premise.
00:41:34.000And so Donald Trump completely steals their thunder by, instead of talking about kids being separated, poor, poor children, he flips the script and says, okay, well, what about MS 13?
00:41:45.000You know, you want to defend all these immigrants.
00:41:47.000What about the gang members that bully kids in high school, that kill and rape American high school students, that they control entire towns?
00:41:56.000What about the drug dealers who bring across the opioids that are killing our people?
00:42:00.000What about what's happening in Europe, where immigrants pour across the border, the ones you're defending, and they rape people, they change the culture, there's terrorist attacks?
00:42:08.000You know, that's the kind of thinking that we need in the White House.
00:42:10.000That's the kind of thinking that we need to counter these narratives.
00:42:14.000And we just have a remarkably incompetent communications department in the White House.
00:42:20.000And, you know, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is pretty good, but they need somebody like Trump really grabbing the reins on that because this is a winning issue.
00:42:29.000This is a winning issue in this time for most of America.
00:42:55.000We don't really know how it's going to play out with these bills, with this issue, but the answer is not to compromise on this.
00:43:04.000People have it in their head that, well, Trump's going to have to bow to the pressure, Trump's going to have to incorporate something into the bill.
00:43:12.000Do people think that if Trump compromises on this and allows for new detention centers and the DAC recipients, do you think that the Democrats and the media are going to go on television the next day and say, Donald Trump saves immigrants?
00:43:28.000He was actually really cool all along.
00:43:30.000Do you think that's how it would play out?
00:43:32.000Do you think that it would play out like that?
00:43:33.000If he were to just give in to the pressure and do the right thing according to the media and he gets the credit from Anderson Cooper, do you think the next day they would all be singing his Praises and all of a sudden we're on board?
00:44:02.000We got to show him that we're against it.
00:44:04.000So, you know, normally I don't advocate for this stuff, but you got to call the White House, your representative, get on Twitter, get the message out.
00:44:17.000But we're going to get into our super chats, super chats, and stream labs, and we'll see what people are saying about my hot takes on the show.
00:44:30.000Is Nick cold and cold hearted and a bad dude, or does he got the right idea?
00:44:35.000We're going to consult the people on this one, and let's see what people are saying.
00:44:40.000We've got Ian Weber who says, Could you please read my stream lab from yesterday?
00:45:24.000And this is your one from yesterday that I missed.
00:45:26.000You said, obviously, you don't have to, but you should ask Jared Taylor what he thinks about people like Richard Spencer, who gave the public a bad image of dissident right wingers.
00:45:48.000You know, unless it's somebody that is kind of like in the picture, like Spencer, for better or for worse, has kind of taken a backseat at this point.
00:46:32.000Alex F., with no question, but just some dollery dues.
00:46:36.000Constantine says the same people shedding crocodile tears over separation of families are the same ones that undermine the American nuclear family via abortion, promotion of casual sex, glorifying single motherhood, etc.
00:46:49.000Well, yeah, I mean, you can always find this in the Democratic narrative.
00:46:53.000They talk about splitting up families, but they're for divorce, right?
00:47:34.000And you really have to get that through your head when you think about these kinds of things.
00:47:38.000That's such a great point that you bring up.
00:47:40.000If they really cared about this abstract concept of the sacred family being torn apart, well, then they wouldn't be taking mommy out of the home, right?
00:47:49.000They wouldn't be taking the kids out of the home.
00:47:52.000They wouldn't be telling mommy that, hey, if you're not totally happy with what you've got right now, you could just leave and nobody would care.
00:48:00.000They wouldn't be saying that, well, actually, a family could be, you know, a guy, a guy, a dog, and, you know, in a New York apartment.
00:48:09.000And a family could be a guy and three women and children.
00:48:12.000And it could be, you know, A bowling pin and a black lab.
00:48:16.000It could be whatever you want it to be.
00:48:59.000Yes, they were conducting a massive raid.
00:49:02.000It was actually spearheaded by the DOJ, so people give a lot of heat on sessions, but they just rounded up over the past three months 2,300 pedophiles and sting operations.
00:49:12.000I mean, they are aggressively going after these people all across the country.
00:49:17.000And it's a great thing because, you know, Under Barack Obama and under Bush, I think there was actually a lot of complicity in human trafficking and other things for various reasons.
00:49:27.000And so that you see such a real and viable effort to prosecute these people and to go after these people just goes to show this is not a part of the monoparty.
00:49:39.000And it also goes to show we're not just fighting people who don't agree with us, we're fighting against people that didn't care enough to prosecute pedophiles.
00:49:48.000The resources are there, the intelligence is there, but they just didn't prosecute.
00:50:16.000These kids, when they're separated from the families, they're sent to foster parents or relatives in the country or if they're in the custody of HHS.
00:50:26.000I mean, It's, I'm sure, much better than it is in Mexico in most cases.
00:50:31.000They wouldn't leave Mexico if it wasn't that bad, you know, compared to where they are now, right?
00:50:36.000Jen Zizas says, I just finished reading Mere Christianity.
00:51:12.000I think I'm entitled to be that at this juncture in my life.
00:51:17.000But I always tell people you really can't be an arrogant person and believe in God, right?
00:51:21.000I mean, if you believe in God, think of the, what would you call that?
00:51:28.000The disparity between what we are and what God is.
00:51:31.000I mean, you're acknowledging that there is something so much greater than yourself, your brain is.
00:51:36.000Can't even fathom it, cannot even compute it physiologically.
00:51:40.000How could you be an arrogant person and believe in a higher power that great and the inferiority, the imperfection of man to that extent?
00:51:48.000So I think that what C.S. Lewis makes the case for that is the whole point of belief in the first place, which is recognizing, acknowledging a higher power that it might be correct and you might be wrong.
00:52:02.000Once you get rid of pride, I think the gate is basically open.
00:52:05.000We find time and again in atheists, It's people who are sick.
00:52:08.000It's people who can't get over themselves.
00:52:10.000It's people who think that they or we as a species are the end all be all.
00:52:50.000So I think that, you know, if you look at what was devoted in the gospel by Jesus Christ in terms of what he devoted time talking about and words talking about, it was mostly about that and not so much about some of the peripheral things, which are important, but, you know, it's in degrees.
00:53:07.000Tan Staffel says, What are your thoughts on anti white affirmative action policies?
00:53:11.000What longer term effect does removing whites have?
00:53:14.000From the top of the hierarchy, have well, of course, the problem with anti white affirmative action is that you don't have a meritocracy, right?
00:53:24.000I mean, if if if equality, or rather, if if outcomes are unequal because groups are unequal, well, then if you have you know one group gets lower standards than the other group, you're going to have very low quality people in the top positions, you know.
00:53:39.000I mean, just imagine you know, you think about what affirmative action has across the society in business, government, schooling, all the rest.
00:53:47.000Think about it on an individual level.
00:53:50.000What if your doctor was a beneficiary of affirmative action, right?
00:53:55.000What if you're like, I don't know, somebody else who's really involved in your life was a beneficiary of affirmative action?
00:54:00.000Would you want the person who built your house to be a beneficiary of affirmative action?
00:54:05.000Where it's like, you know, they were kind of good at building houses, but they were also black, so they got in, right?
00:54:10.000Would that be a house you would want to live in?
00:54:12.000You go in for like a brain surgery, and, you know, the physician there, he wasn't really that good.
00:54:18.000Maybe he wouldn't have passed a normal test, but.
00:54:20.000You know, he was a gay Hispanic, so he got through just fine.
00:54:23.000I mean, would you want to go into that surgery?
00:54:26.000And that's essentially what we've done to every high level position in the country.
00:54:31.000Everybody who's gotten an education in the past 20 years has been subjected to affirmative action.
00:54:36.000So that's teachers teaching your children, that's business people, that's doctors, that's all kinds of people.
00:54:42.000It's going to be a shitty country if you don't have the best people running it.
00:54:46.000So, and really, affirmative action is kind of unfortunate.
00:54:50.000It's based on a misreading of the law.
00:54:54.000The 19. 64 Civil Rights Act, the definition of affirmative action there was perversely distorted.
00:55:02.000Where initially affirmative action meant that you would not judge people based on those physical characteristics, you know, if they were black or white or whatever, that would not factor a role.
00:55:13.000Immediately after the Civil Rights Act went into effect, you had the courts and the bureaucracies interpreting it to mean the exact opposite, and that's why you have it so pervasive in the society.
00:55:24.000Actually, if you look at the law, the whole debate leading up into it, the text of the law, It was to prevent that kind of thing.
00:55:31.000But as we know, unelected people have kind of messed that up.
00:55:36.000Michael Jones says it's all so tiresome, True.
00:55:40.000And he said before that, that's the most infuriating thing about this astroturfed browbeating, creating hysteria over a symbolic issue Democrats don't even consider a bargaining chip.
00:55:53.000And you understand that it's just about delaying the inevitable.
00:55:57.000The Democrats are not really trying to.
00:56:00.000They're not really trying to achieve what they want.
00:56:03.000I think they're just trying to buy time.
00:56:05.000They know demographics are on their side.
00:56:07.000They know that the people that vote for Democrats, 90%, 70%, are ascendant in Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Colorado, Nevada, like every swing state, Virginia, North Carolina.
00:56:23.000So they're not furiously working in the back rooms and the smoky chambers, trying to cobble together a new coalition, trying to figure out what's best for the people and all the rest.
00:56:34.000It's like this group of Satanists who wants to hold on to power, and they're just delaying it so that by 2024 they don't really have to try anymore.
00:57:39.000That the clean break memo, which said we should destroy Iraq and Syria, was written by the people who worked for George W. Bush, who then destroyed Iraq and Syria.
00:57:49.000So it's not really hard to make that connection.
00:57:52.000You don't have to be a wacky, crazy national socialist to understand okay, the Israel lobby wields disproportionate and unjust influence over our government.
00:58:56.000And so, this is why when you look at the divergence between the elites of the country and the people, it's no wonder that you find a large percentage of Jewish people in the elites because they've been in the cities.
00:59:10.000They conduct their business across all the great capitals of the world, particularly in Europe, where finance is and all the rest.
00:59:18.000They have this strong ethnic identity and ethnocentrism about them that's helped them survive for so long.
00:59:24.000So, it's no wonder that they've been a part of this divergence between the elites, which they constitute a big part of, and the rest of the people.
00:59:32.000So, when you explain it like that, people are like, oh, okay, that makes sense.
00:59:36.000That's based on history, that's completely factual, and I believe it.
00:59:41.000You know, but when you start telling people, actually, you know, I'm balding because of the Jews, I'm addicted to nicotine because the Jews, you know, and it's every, you know, I tripped on my way to work.
00:59:54.000It's the protocols, you know, it's, That's when you lose people, or when you show up to a rally with an armband.
