Tonight's guests: Nigel Farage, Stephen Molyneux, Owen Benjamin, and more! Plus, the wine of the day is Bella Gloss, and Elon Musk has finally put a rocket into space! Thanks to our sponsor, Mug Club, for sponsoring the show.
00:03:01.000Why would you take that risk? I live on the edge.
00:03:03.000Yes, but it's not even like a fun edge.
00:03:05.000It's the physical edge. It's the literal physical edge.
00:03:07.000I have watched him wet himself at the sight of a Honda Cub, but then he will take a needless risk.
00:03:12.000It doesn't even add. There's no reward.
00:03:14.000I don't even understand this. I don't know.
00:03:15.000Speaking of reward, Falcon 9, SpaceX's latest expedition, finally launched today, and Feminist Hermat.
00:03:22.000Like this headline from NBC, the patriarchal race to colonize Mars is another example of male entitlement.
00:03:27.000They write, and I quote, it is the same instinctual and cultural force that teaches men that everything and everyone in their line of vision is theirs for the taking.
00:03:36.000You know, just like walking up to a woman and grabbing her by the pussy.
00:03:41.000I love how this isn't just proof that yesterday's Salon Slate is today's NBC. I know, it's NBC. NBC. At what point do you say, ah, maybe it's not fringe.
00:08:38.000Then the 84-year-old brought him to a gas station before finally driving him to a White Castle where he appeared to be conducting a drug deal.
00:08:48.000So most upset by the ordeal is White Castle for finding out that they're not serving food fit for drug dealers.
00:10:15.000Apparently the excuse didn't necessarily work.
00:10:17.000So Ontario's medical regulator, they've revoked the lessons of a buried dermatologist who argued that there was no way, he had complaints, that he could have possibly rubbed his penis against his female patients, particularly their breastal area, because of his large belly.
00:10:31.000I'm trying to be clean here, but this is the actual story.
00:10:36.000So his argument was that I couldn't have done it because I haven't done push-ups.
00:10:41.000And the panel actually was unable to conclude, after expert examination, mind you, whether his penal area had actually made contact with patients.
00:10:51.000So it was inconclusive, because if the gut don't fit, it probably didn't touch your tit.
00:10:55.000That's what they're saying. Another guilty man gets off.
00:11:02.000Can you believe that? Imagine that that's your argument.
00:11:05.000I mean, you just have to have given up on life.
00:11:11.000I couldn't have committed sexual harassment.
00:11:13.000Really? Why is that? Because I'm disgustingly morbidly obese.
00:11:17.000Have you seen me? I have erectile dysfunction, I'm unattractive, and my belly gets in the way, and I would like to be free to go, Your Honor.
00:14:04.000Hillary Clinton campaigned while working at CNN. We know that.
00:14:06.000Michelle Malkin revealed a long time ago, she talked about the systemic problem, I think, with the CNN town halls having Democratic operatives and activists plants as undecided voters.
00:14:15.000I mean, it's not really all that out of the realm of possibility when you consider we did the Antifa thing and the media just didn't want to pick up on it at all.
00:14:22.000Oh, yeah, yeah. This is the lies by omission.
00:14:24.000Right, exactly. Yeah, and you had guys like Chris Cuomo.
00:14:26.000I think Sven Computer has that over there.
00:14:28.000Oh yeah, do you have that? Do you have that, Sven Computer?
00:14:52.000Yeah. I was like, gosh, this is the kind of story that sways opinion, though.
00:14:55.000Yeah, no, exactly. And Cuomo knows, but he's pushing an agenda.
00:14:58.000There's scripting that has been going on for a long time, and then there are lies by omission that they don't even realize their inherent biases.
00:15:03.000We've talked about that with what occurs on campus.
00:15:06.000I think some of it comes out of malice, and I think some of it comes out of they just don't even know.
00:15:10.000I think maybe this person who issued the CNN statement didn't know about the Donna Brazile thing.
00:15:14.000Didn't know about Candy Crowley and what happened with Mitt Romney.
00:15:23.000You want to know why there is no trust?
00:15:26.000In American institutions, which ones you're asking?
00:15:28.000All of them now? It's because of things like this.
00:15:31.000We have never, ever, ever, ever, ever provided any scripted questions.
00:15:35.000Except... If you were to ask me, if you were to say, hey, Stephen scripted an interview with Nigel Farage, I would say, no, no, no, listen, of course not.
00:15:43.000Now let me show you, I have a list of questions where I ask Nigel Farage what he's doing at CPAC, and later on I'll be asking him those questions.
00:15:49.000Here they are. And then we go off book.
00:15:51.000I just have a... I would tell you that.
00:15:53.000That's what happens. But I would not say, no, no, no, we've never, ever, ever, ever written down any questions at all.
00:19:23.000It's one thing that always struck me funny was that the leftists, they want to trot children out there because it's this idea that you can't say no to kids, right?
00:19:31.000It's like a little kid with little puppy eyes.
00:19:33.000It's like, you can't say no to the kids, right?
00:19:36.000But they don't realize that this whole rest of America is like, no, actually, I think what the problem is we need to say no to kids more often.
00:19:43.000Yeah, say no all the time. Yeah, no all the time.
00:20:48.000That's the one issue where they'll break ranks right now.
00:20:50.000They are actually probably the most pro-firearm, pro-Second Amendment generation to have come along in a long time.
00:20:56.000This is removed from Michael Moore's bowling for Columbine.
00:20:59.000This is removed from the assault weapons ban.
00:21:01.000They realized how silly it was because now they've been educated.
00:21:04.000And you realize how far away they get from, like, arguments that would really actually persuade people.
00:21:09.000Cenk is just basically throwing out in his tweet just liberal buzzwords of, you blamed, he said, the person at CPAC blamed everyone but the guns.
00:21:53.000I had someone say, I think it was recently, say like, well, so you think that your right to own an assault weapon is more important than a woman's right to control her own body?
00:22:04.000Okay, hold on a second. I can do this too.
00:22:07.000Yes, I believe that my right and my wife's right to protect her life and to protect the life and limb of her family is more important than the right of a woman to kill a baby.
00:22:20.000Stop the press. The difference is we don't trot out kids to make the arguments.
00:22:23.000Because we know that kids don't fully understand where rights come from.
00:22:26.000Kids don't fully understand what the Constitution is.
00:22:28.000Kids don't fully understand anything at this point.
00:22:31.000It doesn't mean that you hate children.
00:22:34.000If you think they're wrong, or you don't want to listen to them, or you don't want them to determine policy, you let us know, though, in the comments section, what do you think about this?
00:24:52.000You can check them out at waltherarms.com.
00:24:53.000I know people saying, are you really going to advertise firearms at this point?
00:24:55.000Absolutely. We're certainly not shying away from them because they haven't shied away from us.
00:24:59.000Listen, you've heard me talk about their firearms before.
00:25:03.000We wanted them to be a sponsor for a long time before they did.
00:25:05.000Come to the show. Just because we like their stuff.
00:25:07.000Love their stuff. I used to be a revolver guy, the lever action you saw.
00:25:11.000If you're going semi-automatic with a pistol, as far as well, I guess, obviously revolver.
00:25:15.000Let's not even get into that conversation, nor a caliber war.
00:25:18.000But if you're going to go with a pistol like this, I really, I can't recommend them highly enough.
00:25:22.000So you've heard me talk about them, right? I'm really excited they have a new product.
00:25:25.000I've said if you're going to get one firearm for concealed carry, This is the one you get, the Walther PPS. These are all unloaded, by the way.
00:25:34.000Single stack, really thin, really easy to conceal.
00:25:36.000If you're going to have one firearm, particularly if you just want one for your house, you want a handgun as opposed to a shotgun rifle, the Walther PPQ. Google right now, just Walther PPQ review.
00:27:40.000I think it's better than any other fire I'm out there.
00:27:41.000That's why I went after them as a sponsor, and they've supported this show, and they haven't backed down in times when people have encouraged them to.
00:27:46.000So just go to your local dealer. Tell them you want to try the Walther or local gun range.
00:27:49.000A lot of times they have them available to shoot.
00:27:51.000Really excited. If you only get one, a lot of people out there say, if I'm only going to get one right now, I can only afford one, I would say get their new one.
00:27:58.000Hands down. The PPQ Subcompact, because you get the best of both worlds.
00:28:02.000And that's really what it's all about.
00:28:05.000Louder with Crowder Studios is protected exclusively by Walther and Hopper.
00:28:11.000Today I didn't even have to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day.
00:28:19.000All right, our next guest, this is the man.
00:28:22.000We love him on the show. He's one of our favorite guests.
00:28:24.000When he was there, he put the PIMP back in British Parliament.
00:28:28.000Love him. I wish we had him when I was in Canada, parliamentary system.
00:28:32.000Mr. Nigel Farage, thank you for being with us, sir.
00:28:56.000In fact, to be honest with you, the last 25 years of my life's been a party because whilst I've been serious about my politics and taking on the establishment, I'm wanting there to be change.
00:29:09.000Do you know something? If it's not fun doing it, it's not worth doing.
00:29:13.000That's a good point. I do love that life philosophy.
00:29:15.000So let's ask, what kind of fun are you having at CPAC? What are you doing there?
00:29:19.000What's Nigel Farage bringing as a message?
00:29:22.000Well, the real message I'm bringing is, please, please, America, do not judge my country and my people by the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and by Jeremy Corbyn, the Marxist leader of the Labour Party, because what we've got here, we've got the left in Britain being constantly abusive about Trump, about America, saying that if the president comes to visit our country, they'll organise mass protests.
00:29:48.000And actually, that is not the view of most British people.
00:29:52.000You know, President Trump's popularity, his ratings are going up in the UK and indeed around the world.
00:29:59.000And he's been to Paris, he's been to Brussels, he's been to Rome, he's been all over the world.
00:30:52.000What would you say would be, like, it can't be reflected in statistics, because every Brit I talk with, they go, yeah, listen, I mean, Trump, he says some stuff, and I wish he stopped tweeting, but we wish we had someone like him here.
00:31:03.000It's not reflected in statistics, though, because people often, when polled, say...
00:31:06.000No, no, no, no. I'm not on board with President Donald Trump.
00:31:09.000Would you say it's a plurality of people in the UK? Would you say it's 50-50?
00:31:14.000Oh, look, you know, for many, many times over the last 13 months or so, I've wondered whether I was the only President Trump supporter in the entire United Kingdom.
00:31:24.000Because even the Conservative Party, the so-called Conservative Party in Britain, you know, never have a nice word to say about him.
00:31:31.000But what I've noticed over the course of the last few months, and particularly with Trump's overseas trips and overseas speeches, you know, take Davos just a few weeks ago, is I think what people are saying is, look, for the British, they find Trump a bit brash.
00:31:49.000They find him a bit kind of loud, a bit out there, a bit, if I dare say it, New York.
00:32:34.000Maybe you can set us straight on Europe.
00:32:36.000How does that pass through the filter, Merkel conservative?
00:32:40.000Well, I think the truth of it is that most conservative parties in Europe have completely surrendered over the last quarter of a century.
00:32:47.000They've become centre parties and the liberal parties and mild socialist parties have become hard left.
00:32:55.000Europe itself has shifted considerably to the left.
00:32:59.000And a lot of that to do with the influence and power of the European Union.
00:33:03.000And that's why what you've got is the fight back.
00:33:06.000And in many ways, Brexit was the first example you've seen of that fight back.
00:33:12.000That phenomenon crossed over here with Trump winning.
00:33:15.000And now what you've got You've got the traditional mainstream parties moving to the left and moving down in the opinion polls, and you've got new challenger parties, quite a lot on the centre-right, who are now gaining in ground.
00:33:28.000European politics is changing very quickly, and I can tell you this, that the revolt Oh dear, yeah. The sort of modern day Che Guevara or whatever he is.
00:34:00.000Yes, exactly. You mean they find him in South America with a rifle that was never fired saying, I'm worth more to you alive than dead!
00:34:06.000And you see his cowardice. Here's the thing.
00:34:07.000I have to be careful because I would like him to be on the show.
00:34:10.000But he is a man, obviously, huge celebrity in the UK, then carried it stateside.
00:34:14.000And it's fascinating to me on his YouTube channel right now where he does this show, no one watches it except two episodes that included conservative guests.
00:34:22.000And this is something I find interesting because I know he talked to you very disrespectfully about, you know, your rhetoric.
00:34:29.000He was talking with Jordan Peterson about, you know, the mainstream media and the corporate elite.
00:34:32.000These are the people you can't make fun of, love.
00:34:34.000And I'm sitting there going, hold on a second. How many hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on Creating this brand that is Russell Brand from MTV, from Viacom, from Universal Studios.
00:34:43.000The media supported him, didn't support you.
00:34:45.000And he acts as though you were a part of the mainstream media establishment and he was rebelling against you.
00:34:51.000But now, on equal footing, people don't watch him without the hundreds of millions.
00:34:55.000Have you seen that shift too, culturally?
00:34:57.000Yeah. Oh, look, you know, one thing I've noticed in the European Parliament That if the pro-EU politicians want to get lots of hits on YouTube, they've got to criticise and condemn me.
00:35:08.000And then they get loads and loads of hits.
00:35:10.000Exactly. Because people are bored with them and bored with what they have to say.
00:35:14.000And I think your analysis is quite right.
00:35:16.000Actually, with the agenda he's promoting, whatever Russell Brand says, he's actually campaigning for Goldman Sachs and for the big multinationals and for this undemocratic form of government based in Brussels that is called European Union.
00:35:30.000And a form of government, That if Hillary Clinton had become your president, she wanted you to be part of as well.
00:35:37.000So thank God for what happened on November the 8th, 2016.
00:35:40.000Oh, absolutely. And thank God for paving the way with Brexit.
00:35:43.000If Hillary Clinton were president, Russell Brand would probably be on her advisory board.
00:36:57.000The left thinks we should listen to the kids if it is important.
00:37:10.000But the left always says you can kill them if their mom is pregnant and not really feeling it.
00:37:18.000If you've never worked a job or had a broken heart If you can't buy smokes at a Quickie Mart I will not listen to what you say to me Why are we listening to children?
00:40:04.000Well, I have been enjoying watching your interactions with some lovely leftist, open-minded people who love reason and evidence on campus.
00:40:11.000And this is the thing that to me is, I'm not left-wing, I'm not right-wing, but I do enjoy spending time with people who don't call me Satan for having different perspectives, opinions, facts, reason, evidence, data.
00:40:23.000This to me is one of the great challenges.
00:40:27.000Like the religious warfare that plagued Europe for a couple of hundred years, where the difference of opinion is not a difference in interpretation, it's not a difference in source data, it's not a difference in reasoning, good or bad.
00:40:42.000To disagree with me is evil, and that is fundamentally a fragmented, It's the holy horror of Christendom when you had the Anabaptists warring with the Swingalians, warring with the other Protestants and the Calvinists and so on, and everybody was trying to kill each other for 300 years, because to disagree was evil.
00:41:01.000And it's so weird to me that the largely secular and atheist left is manifesting some of the worst and most deplorable habits of extreme fundamentalist religiosity while all the time claiming to be rational and secular.
00:41:15.000First off, I appreciate you attempting to reappropriate the term deplorable.
00:41:20.000Secondly, if you don't want to be referred to as Satan, unfortunately, you have the gray patch that grows in this way.
00:41:24.000You're going to have to dye that. Thirdly, no, I think you are absolutely correct.
00:41:30.000Here's something else, too. I'll talk about this later in the program.
00:41:32.000To disagree is evil, but acts of evil, as we just saw in Florida, blamed on inanimate objects.
00:41:38.000There is a fundamental incapability of accepting that evil exists and acknowledging it for what it is when it's clear, when we should all agree, hey listen, someone mass murdering people, that is evil.
00:41:49.000No, no, no. At that point, it's just, it's maybe mental illness.
00:41:53.000Let's talk about it from evil first, and then let's move on.
00:41:56.000But when it comes to disagreeing, for example, male privilege is a myth, well, that's evil.
00:42:00.000And that's what I find so crazy about it.
00:42:02.000It would be one thing if they just refused to acknowledge the concept of good and evil all around, but they don't.
00:42:07.000Oh, man. These people use the dead more than voodoo magicians.
00:42:11.000Because what they do is, if people had done their job...
00:42:15.000You know, do your damn job and we can have our freedoms, right?
00:42:19.000If the FBI had done their job after being repeatedly warned about this guy, I was just reading this morning that one of the families he was staying with told the cops, oh, this guy had guns to people's head if they had done the jobs.
00:42:30.000The police had been called 39 times to his house because of elder abuse or child abuse, because of like random horrible stuff that was going on.
00:42:40.000If those laws had been enforced, shooting a gun in the neighborhood, blowing up chickens with his gun, if that law had been enforced, this guy would have been off the streets.
00:42:49.000So the fact that the police don't do their job, the fact that the FBI don't do their job, the fact that 16 child services was called and should have been doing their job, the fact that 16 different bureaucratic layers didn't do their job, well, that means you lose your fundamental rights to own a gun.
00:43:04.000Come on! If the government can't do its job, they will do a terrible job of restricting gun ownership anyway, so why should one series and layers of government incompetence lead to another?
00:43:13.000Stripping of rights. No, just have them do their jobs and we won't have these problems.
00:43:18.000Sounds to me like Stefan Molyneux doesn't care about children.
00:43:20.000Doesn't care. That's what it sounds like to me.
00:45:29.000What is mental health? I mean, under the Soviet Union, you were mentally ill if you didn't love communism.
00:45:34.000Clearly you needed to have force tranquilizers shoved up your nose because you weren't adapting to an insane environment.
00:45:40.000Yeah, yeah. It's way too slippery a term.
00:45:42.000Like, oh, having trouble taking away people's rights?
00:45:45.000Well, we'll just slap an arbitrary label called mental illness on them and next time.
00:45:49.000You know. And the problem is the right concedes that ground because they want to stand constitutionally in the Second Amendment as they should.
00:45:55.000They go, yeah, yeah, hold on, mental illness.
00:45:56.000They go, no, hold on a second. We want people to be mentally healthy.
00:45:59.000We want people to get help if they need help.
00:46:01.000And we don't want them to be afraid to do that for fear of losing their rights.
00:46:04.000Like you said, I mean... I have family members who lost two parents very quickly, and someone prescribed them antidepressants.
00:47:07.000That's fine, right? Oh, everyone on the right is mentally ill.
00:47:09.000No guns for... You know how this definition works.
00:47:12.000They get you to agree with the worst thing around, and then they expand that definition to include everyone except themselves.
00:47:18.000That is an old con that's been going Yeah, exactly.
00:47:22.000That's a good point. And when people say, oh, that doesn't happen, it can happen very, very quickly.
00:47:26.000And it's also why I don't want President Trump or his administration to have the ability to determine that, just as I wouldn't want Barack Obama's administration.
00:47:34.000I want the guy in office who doesn't want the job, who wants to do as little as humanly possible.
00:48:09.000We have French art, and we're still smarting over the French Revolution, so clearly it takes a little while to get over that jumpiness regarding all of that.
00:48:16.000That's true. And we can classify the French as mentally ill, certainly French Canadians, on the spectrum.
00:48:21.000But yeah, no, it is remarkable that this is, they jump.
00:48:24.000They pounce right now because it is a wildly unpopular issue.
00:48:28.000I don't know if you saw the Young Turks. I thought it was hysterical that they put out due support and assault weapons ban, and 83% of their audience said no.
00:49:02.000So, Stephan, though, the question to you is, why don't you care about children?
00:49:07.000Well, this comes down to this question of root causes.
00:49:10.000And I always find that the left loves to play whack-a-mole with effects, which ends up with your rights being whacked away.
00:49:14.000And they refuse to deal with root causes because a lot of times the root causes are people who vote for the left.
00:49:19.000So what are some of the root causes around school shootings?
00:49:22.000Well, one thing that's in common of the entire list, I think it was 26 people that CNN put out of school shooters, only one of those 26 school shooters had been raised from birth by his biological father.
00:49:35.000Maybe we found something that might be a bit of a clue, which is fatherlessness.
00:49:39.000Maybe a lot of these kids, of course, are on these psychotropics, these SSRIs, these mind-altering substances, which have labels about how dangerous they can be in terms of suicidality, homicidality, uncontrollable rage, and so on.
00:49:53.000And we've got alienation within neighborhoods, neighborhoods fragmenting to some degree due to diversity, a loss of neighborhood trust, a loss of community trust, The schools are getting worse and worse, and bullying is a big, huge problem in schools that administrators rarely ever deal with effectively.
00:50:08.000You've got families fragmenting all over the place.
00:50:11.000You've got a sense of nihilism because kids know how much they're being born into, like $100,000 worth of debt.
00:50:16.000Just to be born, $1.7 million worth of unfunded liabilities.
00:50:20.000There's a lot of root causes and root problems to do with this, but the left doesn't want to deal with that because the left wants to fragment the family, so they don't ever want to point out to the negative effects of fragmenting the family.
00:50:31.000The left loves single moms because single moms vote for the left.
00:50:33.000They vote for big government because they're not out there in the marketplace for the most part.
00:50:36.000They're sucking up government goodies.
00:50:38.000So the left doesn't want to alienate their base, but unfortunately it's a lot of their base that's contributing to this stuff, so then they make it a right-wing issue to take away guns because they don't want to deal with the root causes they've supported for the last 50 years.
00:50:49.000And I think, listen, we do have to get going here, but I think you boiled it down.
00:50:52.000That root cause, the main cause before anything else, like you said, aside from one, is fatherlessness.
00:50:56.000And that's where you can get to correlation causation.
00:50:58.000People go, well, they're on these antidepressants.
00:50:59.000Well, a lot of them are because they're mentally disturbed because they weren't raised with a father.
00:51:03.000So before you get down the trail, boom.
00:51:07.000We've talked about that. It determines whether you're likely to graduate from high school, go to college, have a successful marriage, have successful relationships, have healthy relationships, go to college, end up in prison.
00:51:14.000All of these things is daddy in the home.
00:53:52.000Not healthy to do. It's funny, you know, yesterday's show, for those who aren't Mug Club members, we had a full show, of course we do a full show every day, ladderwithcudder.com slash Mug Club, and I was exhausted, even though I had slept more.
00:54:25.000Feminists who really did not like my Change My Mind.
00:54:27.000That's one thing that's pretty funny to me, the Change My Mind segment that we did.
00:54:30.000There were a bunch of articles out there, and we'll call everyone out by name soon enough, so that's okay.
00:54:34.000We'll invite them all on the show to come on one by one.
00:54:36.000They'll get 30 minutes each. But everyone wrote about the tweet, the picture, which became kind of a meme, and some of them were pretty funny.
00:54:44.000This man, Steven Crowder, who's a far-right troll, decided to get people upset on campus about male privilege, and he got his s**t dragged across the internet.
00:54:56.000Oh, is that what happened? Roll the tape.
00:55:02.000I decline. It's the same thing that happened with the pro-gun one.
00:55:04.000We're going to do another one of those, by the way.
00:55:05.000Remember, they were like, can you believe he just went and he just tried to get a rise out of students?
00:55:09.000Did you watch the hour video where we sat there and talked with students?
00:55:35.000In a wool blanket. You don't want to find me.
00:55:37.000You don't want to find me. But we've been having a conversation this whole time.
00:55:40.000But, like, it's novel. To the left right now.
00:55:42.000Well, they hate it. I mean, that's why they tried to shut it down so fast when they were there with their little feminist gender studies professors creating a safe space.
00:55:49.000Yeah, that's another thing. From your words.
00:55:57.000It's male privilege that we had to secure a permit, set up a table ourselves, get assaulted sometimes, and often get kicked off despite getting the proper paperwork anyway?
00:56:15.000I think one thing that's really lost, and I was up last night.
00:56:18.000It was a big reason I couldn't sleep. We talked about this last week, where you line up on rights.
00:56:22.000But I think something that we were just touching this with Stefan Molyneux, something lost in all of this, the new dialogue, having a conversation, as you see with CNN in the town hall, and everyone talking about gun control and mental illness and maybe it's the medication and...
00:56:36.000We're losing sight of something fundamental, and that's creating this moral equivalency of violence.
00:56:45.000Violence, they are not morally equivalent.
00:56:48.000What Steven Williford did with his AR-15, there is no moral equivalence to what this horrible person who we won't even name on the show did in Florida.
00:56:55.000That's not something you hear people talking about a lot.
00:56:57.000When you just blame the inanimate object, when you blame a pill, not only do you lose sight of what evil is, You're doing a fundamental disservice to young Americans, teaching them that all violence is equal.
00:57:07.000That's the problem I've always had with no tolerance policies in school.
00:57:54.000He was a good hockey player, but it was, you rough up Wayne Gretzky, he hurts you.
00:57:58.000Why? Because there were bad people on the ice, cheap players, often Swedes, as Don Cherry says, Swedes, cheapest players there are on the bench.
00:58:05.000They would cheap shot Wayne Gretzky because they'll take a five-minute penalty.
00:58:09.000They'll take a fine. What they won't take is a beating from Semenko or a beating from Marty McSorley.
00:58:13.000In the media, what they used to do, they did this with hockey.
00:58:17.000My dad's a big hockey guy, of course, in Canada.
00:58:20.000They would show someone taking a cheap shot, like cross-checking or elbowing a guy in the face, and go, look, we need to remove the violence in hockey.
00:58:35.000So in removing accountability, the point here is that guy elbowing, that guy cross-checking, that is an immoral person willing to commit an act of violence, and he's going to take the fine, he's going to take the five-minute penalty.
00:58:46.000The only way to stop that person, that person's immoral, evil-violent action, is with an equally virtuous violent action.
00:59:30.000And the truth is, there can be virtuous violence, and there can, just as surely, there can be peaceable evil.
00:59:36.000Violence was used to liberate us as a country and to liberate others from slavery.
00:59:42.000Let me ask you this. When we're talking about violence, have you really thought about evil, good, evil, good, violence, peace?
00:59:47.000What's more virtuous? Violent liberation of slaves?
00:59:50.000Or... Peacefully submitting to enslavement.
00:59:54.000Violent protection of your women and children or peaceful surrender of them to evil men.
00:59:58.000I think a lot of people, they're pointing to proactive evil violence and they blame the utility because it allows us all to avoid our passive acts of evil every day.
01:00:08.000You commit media, particularly the entertainment industry, we know this, very, very peaceful, very peaceably you commit acts of evil when you don't blow the whistle on systemic sexual assault or pedophilia.
01:00:18.000You commit evil when you look away when a man is abusing his wife, as happens rampantly in Hollywood.
01:00:23.000Some of you commit evil when you look away when some other man is abusing your wife, like every single man who knew it was happening with Harvey Weinstein.
01:00:30.000You commit evil very peaceably every day when you turn away from someone being hurt.
01:00:33.000We all do it. Or from someone in need.
01:00:45.000It is in us. But truly evil people, everyone has evil in them, but evil people, people who allow it to overtake them, will do anything to avoid looking in that mirror.
01:00:54.000They want to believe that they're essentially good.
01:00:56.000That's the big irony. Evil people believe they're essentially good.
01:00:59.000Generally speaking, good people acknowledge evil.
01:02:24.000Most people aren't afraid of being powerless.
01:02:26.000I don't know where this quote comes from. I think it was, I don't know who said it, and I don't want to be quoted as misquoting somebody else.
01:03:47.000Do you believe, like the hockey enforcer analogy to bring it back around, do you believe that human beings inherently have an evil strain in them?
01:04:14.000Do you believe that the only way to safeguard against people who are willing to cheap shot, who are willing to commit massive acts of violent evil, Are other people willing to commit acts of virtuous violence?
01:04:28.000Or do you want to be the person who just peaceably surrenders your rights?
01:04:32.000Who peaceably commits an act of passive evil by looking away?
