It's Cultural Appropriation Month, which means it's time to learn and appreciate all the great cultures this globe has to offer. This week, we travel to the ancient, honorable, if sadistic culture of Japan to learn more about the history and culture of that country. We also discuss President Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Accord, and the Wonder Woman ban in Lebanon.
00:01:28.000which marks Louder with Crowder's second annual Cultural Appropriation Month, where we learn and appreciate all the great cultures this globe has to offer.
00:01:38.000This week, we travel to the ancient, honorable, if sadistic culture of Japan.
00:02:43.000You can leave him your tweets at NotGayJarred on Twitter or me at S.Craddle with your comments, your thoughts, I fulfill my legal obligations, your own conclusions.
00:02:50.000I'm not even convinced about anything anymore.
00:05:21.000Lebanon banned the film and this has been trending all over the place.
00:05:25.000Originally it was believed that they banned it because of Godot, the lady who plays Wonder Woman, her Israeli nationality, which of course is at war.
00:06:48.000Increasing inequality and racism are feeding divisiveness.
00:06:51.000And we are in the middle of the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Yet many establishment leaders across the world stick their heads in the sand or turn their backs on justice, fairness, and equality.
00:07:01.000Apparently that has something to do with Black Lives Matter.
00:07:02.000What the hell does that have to do at all?
00:07:04.000Yeah, we're going to give the award to Black Lives Matter.
00:08:29.000They've been using the recent Portland stabbing to try and push this narrative of white supremacists and try and revive this idea that it's like American History X out there on every boardwalk.
00:08:39.000Despite the fact, by the way, the guy was a Bernie voter, but meh.
00:09:12.000My Fitbit tells me about my pulse less frequently than Muslims kill people in the name of Islam.
00:09:22.0002012, after another white supremacist slaughtered African-American churchgoers in South Carolina, after militia extremists occupied a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, after radicalized military veterans murdered police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Dallas, after three members of a crusader militia were arrested for plotting to attack him...
00:10:01.000So pretty hard to be a white supremacist.
00:10:03.000When they mention Dallas, the guy who carried out the Dallas cop killings was a member of the new Black Panther Party amidst the Black Lives Matter rhetoric.
00:10:32.000You look at Napolitano not long ago, remember, wanted to put tea-partiers, right-wingers, veterans on potential lists for domestic terrorism.
00:10:47.000I know that people are just going to say, well, isn't it just hypocritical for you to say, well, mental health is a condition when it's not Islam, and then when it's Islam, you say it's terrorism?
00:11:05.000Most of these killers, they had completely incoherent values to begin with.
00:11:09.000So if you look at a guy who was a Bernie voter, he was a Black Lives Matter supporter, but then he hated Muslims and he was saying it was our country.
00:11:13.000If you look at Dylan Roof, who was an atheist and he was a Confederate, but then he might have been a liberal.
00:13:24.000It does worry me that not only did he not think to check his tweet before he put it out on Twitter, not only does it worry me that nobody caught it, but that they refused to fix it for a long time.
00:14:21.000Remember when Melania was slapping away his hand and all the jokes were, I'm sure he'll have some great excuse for this, that she was actually whispering away the West Nile virus from his hand instead of just saying, hey, they had a tiff on the plane and she wasn't having it.
00:14:35.000Well, hey, people are focused on that and not the other failures that he's got, so hey, that's cool.
00:14:42.000However, The left should take that and say, isn't it kind of concerning that these people are so careless?
00:14:47.000Fine, if you talked about that, most people would probably agree.
00:14:49.000The problem is that this has been, for at least now, an 18-hour news cycle, non-stop, top trends, CNN panels on experts and political strategists and correspondents coming in.
00:15:04.000There's a 2% likelihood that he would misspell context.
00:15:07.000And really, if you look at the possible misspelling, see if he possibly actually missed the V here and there, he actually was trying to write Nazi!
00:15:16.000They're making a national scandal out of an error that was likely made late at night at 12.30 a.m.
00:21:48.000But it does stop the law-abiding citizen who says, Oh dear, I won't buy that frying pan because I'd have a good mind to whack this robot over the head with it.
00:22:43.000Well, again, we see what happens with Venezuela, we see what happens with all of these other socialist countries, and they move the goalposts all the time.
00:22:48.000They tried to point to Canada for socialized healthcare for a long time, until they tried to move it.
00:22:52.000So right now, what's really popular is to point to a lot of these Scandinavian or these Norwegian countries.
00:22:57.000Denmark is a great example they point to.
00:23:00.000Denmark has had unbelievable growing pains as far as their economy.
00:23:04.000And if you want to talk about income inequality, Denmark has put taxes that are absolutely so stifling, people can't even, average middle class citizens can't afford a car due to 180% tax.
00:23:29.000But it's gotten to the point where socialists here, because they had to correct course in Denmark, they realized their socialist economy was not working, people weren't working.
00:23:37.000The Danish Prime Minister specifically said, because of Bernie Sanders and his ilk, stop calling a socialist.
00:24:00.000European youth, their unemployment is 40-50%.
00:24:04.000Europe is just, they're drowning in the cost of welfare bills.
00:24:07.000The World Bank actually, this is a quote, Europe accounts for a massive 58% in global welfare spending while accounting for 7.2% of the total population of the world.
00:24:21.000And if you look at their GDP spent on welfare benefits in certain countries like Greece or places like Sweden, where a disproportionate number of able-bodied men do not work.
00:24:29.000If you look at Sweden, which is one of the main economic drivers in the new industrialized world, as soon as they put in their new form of socialism, you look 1970s onward, it's inconsequential.
00:24:39.000They're no longer on the radar of the global economy.
00:25:34.000Or is it a little bit easier just to tax more people, take their stuff, give it to someone else so that people are more equally poor?
00:25:41.000That's what happens always in socialist economies.
00:25:44.000People can say, well, there's more income disparity in the United States.
00:25:48.000Okay, if you have 10% of a $1 million pie, that's less fair, but wouldn't you rather have that than 50% of a $1,000 pie?
00:25:59.000If you could have, let's say,.001% of the total American economy's revenue, wouldn't you take that over 2% of Venezuela's?
00:26:10.000The point is, capitalism-free enterprise, we've talked about this, creates a bigger pie.
00:26:15.000But because of people's selfish nature and selfish bureaucrats looking to cut corners, trying to appease them, it's a lot easier to say, look what he has more Yeah, but his ten is worth a fraction of what it would be if you had less and you allowed him to make more.
00:26:33.000Socialist governments do not create more wealth.
00:26:55.000And by the way, it's not that extreme, obviously, in places like Denmark or places like Germany or places, you know, and we are talking about very small, entirely homogenous populations.
00:27:03.000They don't use Sweden anymore because of already.
00:28:05.000They have no capability of getting it.
00:28:06.000They're not going to help anybody else on the plane.
00:28:09.000If you can't provide basic services to your people, or even allow them to create an economy that allows them to afford these services, you have no chance of helping the rest of the world with Curing diseases, creating modern medical advancements, technological advancements.
00:28:23.000It's because of free enterprise in the United States that you're able to watch this either on your television or the internet or on your smartphone and you go pop some popcorn in your microwave, turn on a light bulb and maybe flip over to Seinfeld.
00:28:34.000It's because of the Unite-- oh, also, you don't have polio or rickets.
00:28:39.000And that's because if not, if there's something in there that wasn't directly from the United States, certainly from a free enterprise capitalist system.
00:28:47.000Capitalism, free enterprise, doesn't just help those who live in the country under its umbrella.
00:28:51.000It is the only way to positively impact a global economy.
00:28:54.000Now, the final step with this is, even if none of this were true, even if you could point to any example of socialism working, of people doing better, of income inequality being eliminated and everyone being wealthy, of healthcare parameters being better.
00:29:08.000Even if your country wasn't sucking on the teat of every other country as you suck on the teat of your country.
00:29:12.000Let's take this, a socialist country that...
00:29:16.000Has its own military that's powerful enough that they don't have to rely on another country like, say, the United States.
00:29:20.000A socialist country that has such a booming economy where they have a surplus and they can tax their citizens at a rate that is fair.
00:29:26.000A socialist country that is so far along the economic trail that they are innovating and willfully giving that and distributing it and benefiting every other country in the world.
00:29:35.000Let's assume that there's a socialist country that exists like that.
00:29:43.000Even if you take that money and you give it to a charity, but you took that money by punching someone in the face and holding him at gunpoint, you, my friend, are an immoral, reprehensible bastard.
00:29:55.000And we are going to call you on it, just like we are with these celebrities who pointed to Venezuela.
00:30:01.000Well, that house of cards came toppling down.
00:30:03.000How long do you think it's going to happen for these other countries they're pointing to now?
00:30:42.000Why don't I get more face time on this show?
00:30:56.000All the feedback says the fans like me more than knock A.J. Why did I always give him so much face time when people find him annoying and they only liked him the one time invited him in the dress?
00:33:11.000A lot of people just say, oh my gosh, how good, you don't have to do something about climate change.
00:33:15.000Yesterday we went into the ramifications of it, how many American jobs would be lost, what it would do to third world countries, the amount of actual deaths that would be observable.
00:33:47.000The U.S. has taken a number of steps to reduce carbon emissions.
00:33:53.000And while most of the pompous anchors on television, including Fox, will tell everybody that there is no doubt There's an absolute of the science here.
00:34:07.000And very credible scientists have said, look, it may be that we are seeing an acceleration of global warming, and it could be because of various human factors, and it could be contributing to it.
00:34:17.000But the true answer is, we don't know the full extent, and it's not quite as cut and dried.
00:34:31.000So the same people who say that there are deniers of science and they're not willing to accept science, they've yet to accept the science of biology when it comes to when human life is created.
00:34:42.000So I just find the arrogant, snobbery, the incredible sense of smugness that approaches this is very off-putting.
00:34:54.000Let's assume for a moment that everything that the left says about global warming and that the science is absolutely correct.
00:35:03.000The fact is the United States, as I said, has been making significant strides, far more so than China, far more so than Russia, than the Middle Eastern countries.
00:35:13.000So we have contributed far less to carbon emissions than other countries.
00:35:19.000And for us to have entered into this, and here's my simple point.
00:35:22.000If this was such a fantastic deal, why didn't President Obama take it to the Senate and sell it?
00:35:30.000Because after all, isn't he the most skillful salesman in the history of the world?
00:35:34.000A man who got a Nobel Peace Prize before he was barely sworn in as president because of the anticipation of what he was going to do?
00:35:57.000Well, first off, when we talk about science, I think the litmus test is where are you on the idea of 72 genders and intersectional quantum physics as is being taught at the University of Arizona.
00:36:06.000So I think you still might be a flat earther yet, Mr.
00:36:23.000Now, there may be some people who have various issues.
00:36:27.000I've known people who have had total surgery, complete reassignment.
00:36:31.000But this idea that I can just think myself into something and identify with it, You know, I'm going to think myself into having paid all my taxes before I pay any next year, and I'm going to identify as a full-blown taxpayer.
00:36:57.000We have the actuary tables because the Young Turks want him to run.
00:37:00.000It's over 25% likelihood that he would die in his first term.
00:37:03.000Now the talk is Joe Biden's going to run and he's going to be a year older, so we could put the Bernie too old to rest now, as the chink says.
00:37:09.000Let it never be said that the DNC is the party of old white people.
00:37:13.000Let me just say that I'm refreshed by this notion that the Democrats are reaching deep out into the future to get their bench.
00:37:21.000And the average age of their candidates between Hillary and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden is going to be somewhere north of 75.
00:37:29.000So I think that it just shows that if you're a young person and you're looking for someone to lead you into the future, why wouldn't you pick somebody?
00:37:37.000You know, who is probably closer in behavior to the people at the beginning of life drooling and wetting themselves than it would be for the people who are at the peak of their lives.
00:38:11.000Let's assume global warming, humans are the sole cause of it, and it's going to be a catastrophe.
00:38:17.000Let's assume that NASA didn't just come out and say, actually, we're going to have a half a degree cooling over 50 years, but then it's going to go back to a degree of warming over 100 years.
00:38:43.000And that's part of the reason I think the president made the right decision by saying we're going to pull out of this accord.
00:38:47.000He didn't say we're going to see if we can trash the environment or we're going to see if we can pollute the air and the water and make You're going to hear that from the left.
00:38:56.000You'll hear that from some of the globalists.
00:38:59.000He's simply saying, we also have to have people who have jobs, who have an income, who have a way to put bread on their table and clothes on their back.
00:39:08.000And the Paris Accords were going to have such an impact, particularly on poor people.
00:39:14.000Liberals always say they're the champions of the poor, but when you raise people's electricity rates by 20% and people can barely pay their electricity at the bottom of the economic food chain, how is that helping them?
00:39:25.000When you make it so that people lose jobs and employers have to cut back on the number of jobs they offer, so that means more people out of work, greater levels of unemployment, more dependency upon government rather than dependence upon their own industrial activities of hard work, How does that help poor people come out of the hole?
00:39:46.000And I'm going to be very blunt with you.
00:39:47.000I grew up poor, so I know a little about this.
00:39:50.000I get so tired of people whose last names are Kennedy and Kerry and Rockefeller, all of whom are on the Senate Energy Committee, who lectured me one time when I was testifying before them when I was governor, and they were lecturing me about poverty.
00:40:06.000And finally, after a few minutes of this, I just paused and smiled, and I said, I've got to tell you, this is a big day for me because I never, ever thought in my life I'd be sitting in front of three billionaires listening as a kid who grew up in a little rent house, never understanding that I would one day be lectured about the nuances of poverty by the three of you guys.
00:40:29.000Well, it's like people being prescribed how to run an economy and how the government can take control of manufacturing and distribution by people like Marx who've never actually worked a job.
00:40:38.000Many people have no idea that these people never contributed to an economy.
00:40:41.000Whenever Governor Mike Huckabee says, I'm going to be blunt for a minute, I'm always waiting for him to just one day be like, son of a!
00:43:15.000At that point, because let's be honest, at that point there was no mathematical possibility for you to win, all of a sudden they were like, oh, Governor Mike Huckabee's funny.
00:43:23.000But if you're a threat, he sucks, he's not funny.
00:43:28.000But I find that liberals, for the most part, don't have much of a sense of humor unless they're making fun of people that disagree with them.
00:43:34.000They don't have any self-depreciating humor.
00:44:07.000And we know that a lot of people don't agree with us and even hate us for it, but we don't lose sleep over it, and we don't get all worked up, and we don't have to be on medication over it.
00:44:17.000Well, some people are, but that's just because, again, we're happy and we like to have a good time.
00:44:51.000Back in 1995, the Senate voted 95 to 2.
00:44:57.000To officially move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as the legitimate ancestral capital of the Jewish state.
00:45:05.000It really was not even controversial at the time.
00:45:08.000There was a provision that was stuck in there.
00:45:10.000And the provision was that the president, every six months, could sign a waiver that would delay the move of the embassy for that six-month period.
00:45:18.000Well, since 1995, that's 22 years, every six months a president has signed the waiver.
00:45:23.000Bill Clinton did it, George Bush did it, Barack Obama did it.
00:45:27.000Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that he would move the embassy.
00:45:31.000So, Frank, I thought he might do it on January 21st.
00:45:35.000And I strongly recommended to him that he did, and I felt that that would have been a powerful statement to the world.
00:46:27.000It's not just important to Jewish people.
00:46:29.000I think it may be as important, if not more so, to evangelicals in the United States, people that were the reason Donald Trump is president.
00:46:36.000And that's why I don't think he fully comprehends that support for Israel among evangelicals ranks right up there with pro-life as a non-negotiable.
00:46:51.000Because if we don't recognize that there is a special place geographically that the Jewish people have laid claim to as their ancestral eternal homeland, and Jerusalem, the only people for whom it has ever been a capital, the Jews, ever, the only people for whom it has ever been a Right.
00:47:09.000But it was their capital 3,800 years ago.
00:47:12.000And it's the only country in the world where we don't locate our embassy in the designated capital of that country.
00:47:22.000And it's a way in which we say that we don't just give lip service and respect Israel, but we actually respect them and we respect their capital.
00:47:32.000First, I think that's important for people to note, because we will have people, a lot of folks who watch the show who are libertarians who say, well, I really am against this idea, this foreign policy of putting Israel's interest above our own.
00:47:44.000But I also think that you could be more of a non-interventionist saying, all right, let's stop funding everybody in the Middle East, which would mean...
00:47:51.000But if you add up cumulatively what we give to countries who want to wipe them off the face of the map, it could be a net positive.
00:47:56.000It's totally a tenable position for someone to think that and also understand that, by the way, yeah, they should be allowed to have their capital in Jerusalem.
00:48:05.000Next one, why do you think President Donald Trump didn't?
00:48:08.000Because the left will obviously, even though they couldn't care less about Israel, they'll try to be saying, well, it's because of his business interests now with people who don't like Israel.
00:48:23.000He is surrounded by a lot of people who have convinced him that he is the great negotiator and he can sit down with the Palestinians and Israelis and make a deal.
00:48:53.000And this goes not back to the 1917 Balfour Agreement or the 1948 Independence of Israel or the 1956 War with Egypt or the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
00:49:07.000Stephen, this goes back to Isaac and Ishmael.
00:49:10.000And if you don't take it back there and understand where the conflict has its roots, Then you can sit down at every table in the world and you're not going to come up with some lovely agreement that people are going to honor.
00:49:24.000I think that's one blind spot we've talked about with President Donald Trump.
00:49:29.000We never want to be disrespectful to someone who works directly with him.
00:49:31.000But since he's been an adult, this has kind of been my theory sometimes where he has his missteps since he's been old enough to understand the concept of money.
00:49:48.000Since he's been old enough to run a business, right away he's had enough money, and people have typically been in relationships where they want to get a piece of that, or he can control them in some way, or there's a money relationship.
00:50:00.000Typically, when he's been doing business deals, he's been doing them with people who are in business.
00:50:42.000Unless you're incredibly gullible, like Obama was, who made a deal with the Iranians, thinking that they're going to, oh, of course they're going to keep it.
00:52:37.000You can see The Daily Show, and you can see Jared's show, and there's some bonus content every week, including outtakes.
00:52:42.000But it is what allows us to continue operating for free on YouTube.
00:52:45.000You're seeing a lot of conservatives uploading less content to YouTube, moving to other sites, and sometimes you can't find them.
00:52:51.000The big irony is that joining the Mug Club and supporting the premium content is what allows us to fight back on YouTube, on the free platform.
00:53:00.000Because, Young Turks, we're coming for you!
00:56:50.000So they're all there, and I'm thinking if they only really knew who I was, they really mightn't like me so much, but they're always saying how much they like me.
00:56:57.000And they did a meditation, and one day we did one meditation with like...
00:57:00.000I want you to breathe in, breathe in, breathe in all the negativity, breathe in all the negativity, and then push love, push love into it.
00:57:15.000And I'm there in my lovely meditative state, feeling very zen, and the first person said, Well, that was really good for me, you know, because I was breathing in all the hatefulness, all the anger and the hatefulness from the Trump supporters, and I was pushing love into it.
00:57:58.000Next time if that happens, so here, I bet you you can bait that situation into happening again, because it's not all too uncommon.
00:58:04.000I know in yoga that, you know, breathe this in, push this down.
00:58:06.000So when they say I was pushing down the Trump haters, what I want you to do is walk right up to them and just start pushing that person down physically.
00:58:17.000Anyway, I decided, you know what, I don't want to fight in every context that I'm in, so I never pretended who I was, and I stopped going to the meditation task.
00:58:24.000My next story is from this weekend, because now that I live in the Hollywood Hills, I get invited to posh dinner parties, and I got invited to a very nice posh dinner party.
00:58:32.000Well, careful, because then a gay guy wants your husband to take his keys, so careful.
00:58:37.000One of the people at the dinner party was a very, and I don't want to identify this guy, and you'll understand why.
00:59:18.000He just spoke recently at a conference in a foreign country.
00:59:22.000I won't even identify the country because I'm very conscious of not identifying this man.
00:59:25.000And so at the conference, he met an American colleague.
00:59:28.000In the midst of the conversation, he told the colleague that he had voted for Trump.
00:59:32.000So later on, they're in this beautiful hotel in a very posh place, whatever, and he comes down to the bar and sees a huddle of people, including this American man, and they're pointing at him.
00:59:41.000They're pointing at this eminent doctor, this healer, this amazing guy who's saving lives every day.
01:00:50.000Next time we go by, the Trump sign's gone.
01:00:53.000And then we call by later, and the Trump sign is up, and he's got it all secured with, like, with really secure wire, and it's, like, really impossible to remove.
01:01:01.000So Phelan calls up to the guy's house, knocks on the door.
01:01:05.000Long story anyway, but they had a gate and whatever, and they were scared.
01:01:09.000The daughter of the house came out and said, is this a trap?
01:01:12.000Anyway, we've become a big friend of that guy, and he is a Trump supporter, and he is up here.
01:01:17.000And, you know, we have to huddle together because it's a hostile environment.
01:02:23.000There's no proof that it would do anything at all, and the United States would be disproportionately bent over and paying for it.
01:02:31.000If I say that, and you say that, we make the economic argument, we make the argument, listen, this is actually going to hurt a lot of people, put people out of work in the first world country, and kill people who need energy to survive and they can't afford it in the third world country.
01:02:46.000On a scale from 1 to 10, obviously you did Not Evil Just Wrong.
01:03:15.000Because of the fact that they've got rid of their nuclear, and because of the fact that wind and solar are so unreliable.
01:03:20.000So 40% of their energy has been produced by coal, and their emissions, these awful emissions, these awful CO2 emissions that we're meant to be all so terrified about, have gone up by 50% in Germany.
01:03:31.000The price of electricity in Germany, so the price of electricity in 2012 here in the United States per unit was about 12 cents here in the United States.
01:03:41.000In Germany, I think the latest numbers, yeah, 35 cents.
01:03:44.000As you say, that is going to disproportionately affect the poor.
01:04:14.000It's a fracking miracle there, Stephen.
01:04:16.000And hold on a second, hold on a second, hold on a second.
01:04:17.000Because you're also not even taking into account how fewer emissions there are when we're not dependent on foreign resources for energy, where they don't have an EPA. They don't care about it.
01:04:26.000Here's what's so crazy, and this is what I love about it.
01:04:27.000If I could have N. McElhinney on every single day, I would.
01:04:54.000The other factor in this is that if America continued in that Paris Accord or whatever, if they continued in that vein with all those agreements, right, the Americans would comply because we're law abiding.
01:05:08.000The Chinese, you know, I saw a headline, you know, the Chinese, no matter what, the Chinese lied about SARS. They lied about SARS and let their own population die.
01:05:23.000We had SARS in Toronto, at the Toronto airport.
01:05:26.000It didn't make it to the States because we didn't fall for it.
01:05:28.000But Canadians, they're so tolerant of everything, including SARS. They tolerated SARS. Yeah, yeah.
01:05:34.000The idea that people that agree to this accord, the idea that they should all be treated equally, that they should all be treated the same, that they're all going to comply.
01:05:44.000Like, seriously, that the Chinese, you know, that anyone would trust anything that the Chinese would sign.
01:06:54.000And by the way, the one thing I would say as well is I did an audio version of the book, Stephen, and a lot of people are buying that for people maybe traveling in their car.
01:12:11.000You had a point that you wanted to make.
01:12:12.000We usually do kind of, we wrap up the week with our closing thoughts, though tomorrow we have the Wonder Woman Review, both me and Nakei Jared.
01:12:18.000You had something that you were talking about.
01:12:45.000I hope you never have to make that decision.
01:12:47.000We've had guests on even said, you know, I hope, you know, I never had make, it was the hardest decision of my life, people who've had abortions or gone through divorce, you know, it was hard.
01:13:17.000People use it, and I think we should be really careful about when we hear people and the words they say, and sometimes we can lose it in tone sometimes, and we miss, like, oh, wait, pause.
01:13:54.000It's more than you don't even realize you just said decision, but on the plus side, when you're actually making the positive choice, really it's defined by a series of actions.
01:14:02.000So divorce was the hardest decision of my life.
01:14:06.000Fixing my marriage was an ongoing process.
01:14:09.000It was the most difficult process of my life.
01:14:12.000Having an abortion was the most difficult decision of my life.
01:14:15.000Having my baby and taking care of it or giving it up for adoption and supporting it and nurturing it the way that it needed to, that's an ongoing process.
01:14:24.000So often when people say that, it's a pious, they're trying to set this up, right?
01:14:28.000It's almost always in a tone, and don't let this happen.
01:14:31.000I used to have this happen a lot when I was young, and I will tell you, I've definitely matured, I've learned some things, and if I could tell my younger self, hey, there are a few mistakes that you could correct, I actually would have listened.
01:14:41.000I was always someone who was pretty teachable, but I would have people who would say, ugh, You're a baby.
01:14:47.000But what's interesting is, even whether I was at Fox or when we started this show, when we were at local radio shows, when they would say the same thing, that age always changes with their age.
01:15:00.000You don't know anything because they're two years older.
01:15:03.000And so these are people who don't feel solid in their ideas.
01:15:05.000They don't believe that their decisions have been the right ones.
01:15:08.000They don't believe that their actions have been the most productive ones.
01:15:12.000And so their trump card is, you don't know and it's something you can't change because I'm older than you and that's always going to be the case.
01:15:19.000You don't know what it's like to have an abortion.
01:16:03.000It's not the same tone where someone says, you know what?
01:16:06.000Keeping my baby, when I had every reason, you know, a baby with Down syndrome, or we didn't know that it would make it, keeping my baby was one of the hardest things I ever did, but it's the most rewarding.
01:16:17.000It's very different from the flip side.
01:16:19.000Someone saying, well, it was the hardest decision I ever had to make, and I hope you never have to make it.
01:16:23.000Yeah, this isn't who wants to be a millionaire.
01:16:41.000And I do think that generally, not always there are exceptions, but the person who says, you know what, it was the hardest thing I ever did to stick out my marriage after whatever happened, or after we weren't communicating, my husband was traveling, or it was very hard for me to...
01:16:54.000To decide to have that baby because it was the right thing to do.
01:16:57.000Usually it's followed by, ask me about it.
01:17:54.000And that's a good point, and I think that's important, because if they know that it exists, but they don't know what it is, that's where you see the manipulation of, uh, tone, I'm pious, you don't know, you don't have the experience, no vagina, no opinion.
01:18:07.000Another thing, we were talking about this, I don't know if we, we didn't end up making the show, but Huffington Post wrote about Donald Trump, they were saying, he's going, if Donald Trump has his way, he's going to allow religious employers to forego the birth control mandate.
01:18:21.000In other words, what the, interesting that they use the word allow.
01:18:24.000So if someone doesn't really know what the truth is, the truth is that the government has no right and no authority and was never intended to have the authority to force a religious organization or employer to provide what they believe are abortificants, regardless of your view on abortion.
01:18:38.000But the language they use, Donald Trump would allow these organizations to keep their own money as opposed to paying for abortions.
01:18:45.000Kind of like when they say, was it Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, President Trump wants to steal from the Pell Grant.
01:18:52.000Well, interesting you use the word steal.
01:19:28.000We're always trying to invite leftists on.
01:19:30.000I truly do believe that the solution to most problems out there, if we're actually trying to get to real truth, like Nakajir was talking about, you've got to eliminate the you don't know, you couldn't possibly know, you're young, you're inexperienced, and we've also got to eliminate the half-truths.
01:19:47.000If we want to get to, okay, is there real truth?
01:19:49.000And I think most people do know that there is.
01:19:51.000The solution is transparency and open conversation.
01:20:02.000But we have returned liberal guests who will never go on other conservative shows because even though we don't value civility above honesty, guess what?
01:20:13.000We try to be respectful because our goal is to get to truth, and we believe that it's a more effective way.
01:20:17.000Most of the time, sometimes you have crazy people who come on the show and just want to yell, and you have to make an example of them.
01:20:23.000But if we want to get to absolute truth, what the truth is, like we were talking about with Jordan Peterson, The solution is pretty simple.
01:20:31.000More transparency, more research, more education, informing people more.
01:20:38.000The wonderful thing is in 2017, there's no need for elitism.
01:20:42.000All information is at everybody's fingertips.
01:20:45.000Whether you're a member of Mensa or you're riding a short bus with a room temperature IQ, you can figure out what the truth is and you're more equipped to deal with it The more conversations you've had, the more people you've interacted with.
01:21:00.000Just make sure you're not wearing this getup because that tends to shut down conversation and it's a shame because it's mostly comfortable.
