00:08:07.000Question of the day before we move on.
00:08:09.000In relation to North Korea and Iran, Why should the USA give a rat's ass as to what other countries think about us, our responsibilities, our military, what we need to give to NATO?
00:08:19.000Haven't we reached the point, regardless of whether you like President Trump or not, have we reached the point where we say, you know what, Germany?
00:08:39.000Thank you for saving the entire world.
00:08:40.000Well, we have to move on to more important news before we get to that.
00:08:43.000Roman Polanski apparently came out and he dismissed the hashtag MeToo movement as mass hysteria from NBC News.
00:08:51.000In an interview with the Polish Newsweek, the director said that the Me Too reckoning is an example of, quote, collective hysteria that occasionally grips society, leading people to react mostly out of fear.
00:09:01.000Yes, responded to throngs of underage girls he sodomized on Quaaludes.
00:09:47.000So at HuffPo, this lady is now saying that theme parks fat shame guests when they don't let them enjoy all the rides.
00:09:54.000This is a direct quote says, while safety is often the given reason that fat people are excluded, it's clear that companies are actually just keeping the general public safe from our fatness.
00:10:03.000I refuse to take on the additional guilt of not having gotten into Harry Potter until I was 35.
00:10:07.000Okay, first off, those listening terrestrially, I want you to think of the words that I just spoke in the order I spoke them to form that sentence.
00:11:25.000Which is funny, you don't even really think of indigenous people as fat, generally.
00:11:29.000But this writer, HuffPo, she claims to be a part of the, I want to make sure I get this right for fear of HuffPo writers, claims to be a part of the Minicapache tribe, which actually from its native tongue translates to, one who requires the north wall to her apartment be broken down when she has a stroke.
00:11:47.000A peaceful journey into the afterlife, young coronary.
00:11:52.000May you be kept safe till you see the great Red Chief, Ronald Weasley.
00:11:56.000How... How... How fat are you that you couldn't make it to the venture through Hogwarts?
00:12:19.000So, for those who don't know, a planned fire was carried out by a fire department at Beardy's in Okemese's Creek Nation.
00:12:26.000Unfortunately, after a controlled burn was conducted and thought to be extinguished, a rabbit on fire lit another adjacent section of bush.
00:12:36.000They should have never let that little prick volunteer his tribute.
00:13:06.000They're making headlines for their tradition of birthday spankings.
00:13:10.000It comes from a CVS local station in Texas.
00:13:13.000It's been a tradition for eight years at Alvord Elementary School for Principal Bridget Williams to give students, quote, birthday spankings.
00:13:21.000Until recently when parents complained, calling it inappropriate.
00:13:28.000Many parents defended Principal Williams with parents like Heather Redder saying they're not used to a small town community and that's what we are.
00:13:36.000People that move here from the big city they don't realize they're not used to this because a lot of people have been moving from the big city into Texas for the economy.
00:13:42.000So it's true and it's changed the culture.
00:13:44.000The practice has since been exchanged with birthday quote light choking and putting your hand in its mouth.
00:13:49.000So that's It's almost like you're exchanging one for something worse.
00:13:54.000You know, Woody Allen's just like, can I go back and major in that?
00:14:22.000Someone search that principal's office because I guarantee you there's a poster on the wall like Shawshank where you're gonna carve out a hole and find a sex dungeon in there.
00:14:32.000Principal Dufresne, New York mayoral candidate, Cynthia Nixon, came out and said that pot could be a form of reparations in black neighborhoods.
00:14:41.000So Nixon on Saturday told Forbes, we have to make sure that communities that have been harmed and devastated by, because sometimes people say you're afraid to do the black lady voice because of political correctness, I just don't think of it, so you're welcome, have been devastated by marijuana arrests get the first shot at this industry.
00:16:15.000This comes from the BBC, the case was first... 2015 is when the case first came up, when gynecologist Dreon M. Birch tried to trademark the name Dr. Dre.
00:16:24.000The other Dr. Dre, this sounds confusing, objected, saying the similarity could cause, quote, confusion, especially as his near-namesake wanted to sell audiobooks and seminars under the moniker.
00:17:11.000Exhibit A, story from this week, this guy.
00:17:13.000This is Idaho car salesman Andrew Hall, formerly an enthusiastic vaper.
00:17:18.000But Andrew has vowed to quit smoking for good after his vape pen blew up in his face.
00:17:22.000The explosion happened over the weekend.
00:17:24.000When Andrew was enjoying a few tubes of electronic smoke while getting ready for work, Andrew wrote on Facebook that he was vaping in his bathroom.
00:17:31.000When his vaping exploded, he posted from the hospital ICU ward.
00:17:35.000He Facebooked and then posted from the ICU.
00:17:39.000It was thought to be a faulty battery, though a new scientific investigation actually, this is commonly, it's been happening a lot throughout the country, really, reveals that it's actually chemical combustion that occurs when nicotine reacts with too much douche.
00:18:22.000And when he was asked, too, what's the crazy thing, when he was asked if he was concerned about his teeth as much as the damage to the wall or what bothered him most, he said, oh, he wasn't so much concerned about his teeth, quote, as much as my flat-billed, semi-sideways baseball cap, which I wear indoors because I never had a dad.
00:18:40.000Though he was no stranger to actually losing teeth due to, quote, people always punching me in the face for my flat-billed, semi-sideways baseball cap that I wear indoors because I never had a dad.
00:19:50.000To disrupt the can industry is one of the few that has been stagnant for decades.
00:19:54.000As a matter of fact, in our lifetimes, the can industry has remained almost completely unchanged, immured by the agriculture and industrial revolutions, let alone digital.
00:20:04.000I'm having a little trouble with your accent.
00:20:06.000Which is what I plan to disrupt with my new confection, Steven.
00:20:44.000Mr. Musk, what do you say to critics that this is just a move to distract from the fact that you may be removed as a chairman at Tesla soon?
00:21:21.000How's, uh... If you want me to make paradise Simply open up your wallet Anything you want to, I'll do it Want me to change the world Just a few billion... Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected.
00:22:13.000What's happened here this last week with North Korea and Iran?
00:22:16.000Because I know you've got the overlay.
00:22:17.000Yeah, well this last week what basically happened is that we, that the United States, I shouldn't say we, because I'm... You're part of the problem, sir!
00:25:21.000Now, President Trump is being blasted, of course, for being crazy and reckless.
00:25:26.000Maybe you need to be a little bit crazy.
00:25:29.000Maybe you'd be crazier than the other guy in some of these countries.
00:25:31.000Now, President Trump may not be a, let's even give the argument to people who say, may not be a great man, may not be a good guy personally, but how in the hell, I've heard people calling him a bully now, how in the hell can you paint a guy as a bully who's pushing around the dictators who starve and torture their citizens and perform forceful abortions?
00:25:51.000Call him at the very least an anti-hero.
00:25:59.000You lose the moral high ground when you commit forceful abortions and starve your own people and convince them that you can control their mind and when you throw gays off rooftops and when you have death for apostasy.
00:26:10.000You don't get to call somebody else a bully.
00:26:11.000And this is something that's very new, by the way.
00:26:12.000For people, they look back and they see, I just forgot his name, Gary Oldman's performance.
00:28:25.000They pay the bill for national defense.
00:28:27.000We've been paying for all these cuts, and this is what bothers me.
00:28:30.000When you look at the Iran deal in North Korea, three hostages gone.
00:28:33.000Look at Iran burning the American flag.
00:28:34.000And then, next week, when we forget about this, Germany's going to talk about how they provide free health care, refugee asylum, and free college.
00:30:03.000America's an imperialist... I'm okay with a little imperialism now.
00:30:07.000How about either we be an imperialist nation, or no, just have nothing to do... we don't protect any other countries at that point.
00:30:14.000By the way, people say, isn't that a bit reductive?
00:30:15.000What's wrong with being reductive when we're dealing with people, when we're dealing with countries who, without nuclear weapons, commit gross violations of human rights?
00:30:25.000Killing Christians, Jews, Where's the middle ground?
00:30:29.000What's wrong with being reductive, saying they shouldn't be allowed to have nukes, and we won't do co- I'm not okay with these countries having non-safety scissors.
00:30:59.000We're just not doing business with them.
00:31:04.000That would be like getting mad that you showed up for a Tupperware party, you find out that the lady is a Nazi who just gassed a bunch of Jews and threw some gates off a rooftop and said, you know what?
00:32:27.000I'm at that point where if I read tomorrow like, oh, the United States just dropped a mushroom cloud over Iran, but you know what, that's fine.
00:32:34.00070% of them are okay with death for apostasy.
00:32:41.000You let it get to a majority or even a plurality, guess what?
00:32:45.000You don't get to sit at the adults' table.
00:32:47.000You have to go sit at the kids' table.
00:32:48.000Doesn't mean we're gonna kill all of you, but we're certainly not gonna do commerce with you, or treat you as equals, or try and appease you for peace.
00:32:55.000You're burning the flag, I can't, burning the American flag, anti-freedom, anti-anything-that-isn't-your-sick-twisted-demented-Muslim-way-of-life-pieces-of-shit.
00:33:09.000There's a link, we'll have Ben Shapiro after this.
00:35:28.000I mean, honestly, the news is better than fine.
00:35:30.000I like that President Trump is doing excellent things on the foreign policy front, which is great.
00:35:35.000He has this interesting view of the world, President Trump, where everybody is a winner or a loser, and that doesn't work well in economics because there can be mutual winners when you and I are trading products and services, but it does work really well in foreign policy, it turns out, because it turns out that if Iran loses, everybody wins.
00:36:06.000Again, this is the part that's hilarious to me.
00:36:08.000Everybody's like, well, you know that Iran nuclear deal was preventing them from getting a nuclear weapon, and those moderates, they were really being emboldened by the nuclear deal.
00:36:33.000This is absolutely true, there's no doubt about it, because you employ slave labor.
00:36:37.000It's amazing what you can do with children at computers in Bangladesh.
00:36:40.000Well, I mean, you're wondering why I had a bad day, Our contract just got tossed in the garbage.
00:36:45.000But in any case, one of the things I was saying is that there are only a couple of nations in human history that have had nuclear weapons or were developing nuclear weapons and gave them up.
00:36:53.000One was in 1993, South Africa gave up their nukes.
00:36:56.000And the other was in 2003, Gaddafi gave up his incipient nuclear program.
00:37:00.000Both of them did so as a show of good faith to the world.
00:37:02.000It wasn't that we came along and said, here's a bunch of money.
00:37:07.000Then they would just say, well, I'll keep the money and develop my nukes.
00:37:10.000Instead, it was a bunch of regimes attempting to moderate themselves first, and then as a symptom of that moderation, they were saying, here's our nukes.
00:37:16.000So, trying to say that Iran was going to moderate because we gave them a bunch of cash is stupid.
00:37:20.000If they wanted to moderate and have a bunch of cash, they could do so without any agreement at all.
00:37:24.000You know, a comparison would be a plea bargain, if you're talking about South Africa, if you're talking about Gaddafi, versus sort of Kramer versus Kramer, Dustin Hoffman with the kid in the ice cream tub just saying, don't you do it!
00:37:53.000It is providing Israel the option to spank them, which I think is a good option.
00:37:56.000It's providing this newfound alliance of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, the capacity to actually fight back against Iranian aggression.
00:38:04.000Because what the Iran deal really did mostly was it said to any of those nations, if you do anything against Iran, you're in breach of this agreement.
00:38:12.000By Trump saying, listen, this agreement's no longer here, then it becomes very clear who are the violators of the Peace in the Middle East.
00:38:18.000And that was obvious for anybody who had half a brain anyway, since Iran has taken over Syria.
00:38:27.000They've taken over the Gaza Strip, too.
00:38:29.000I mean, for the amount of funding they're giving to Hamas.
00:38:32.000Why was this controversial in the first place?
00:38:34.000I will say, to Obama's credit, It was Barack Obama who created the alliance of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and the UAE.
00:38:40.000He did so completely unintentionally, just like every other good thing he did unintentionally.
00:38:44.000But this was mostly Obama's doing, because by kissing Iran's ass, he put everybody else in a position where they had to suddenly ally with each other in order to face down Iran.
00:38:51.000Yeah, but you know that's very temporary, and if we look back and something happens, no one's going to blame the alliance that you just mentioned.
00:39:01.000You're wondering why I'm having a bad day every day is to blame the Jew day.
00:39:04.000That's just the way it goes around here.
00:39:05.000We were just talking about that when you're talking about, you're talking about, uh, obviously the, uh, listen, Israel gave up land in defensive wars.
00:39:13.000This is where people talk about it like, I'm not paid by the Jews.
00:39:16.000I would take the money and I would talk about big Jew money.
00:39:19.000But when you talk about Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and they said, we're going to wipe them off for being Jews.
00:39:23.000I'm amazed that you didn't just take all their stuff.
00:39:25.000But my point is, in the realm of history, to look back and listen, let's be honest.
00:39:29.000Do we really think that Saudi Arabia and Israel are going to be allies for a long time?
00:39:32.000No, I think Jews could be left holding the bag long term, which is always what worries me with these temporary alliances.
00:39:37.000They never last with Islamic countries.
00:39:40.000I mean, I think that's true, but I also think that this is the best position Israel has been in in its entire history, insofar as there are now a bunch of states that are suddenly saying, you're our allies, you're not our enemies.
00:39:49.000I mean, the Saudi Arabian leader, Mohammed bin Sultan, literally said to the Palestinian leadership, take the deal that's on the table or sit down and shut up.
00:41:14.000You know, it's funny that you mention this, good versus bad, and kind of on the world stage.
00:41:17.000That being said, on economics, let's kind of get rid of the tariffs and stuff, which we agree on.
00:41:21.000The tax cut, though, is remarkably popular.
00:41:24.000So when you combine that with this, with foreign policy, and Iran just did us a favor by burning the American flag in their government there after the deal was ripped up.
00:41:30.000It's like, oh, OK, maybe you were Eddie Haskell-ing it, and you never, this wasn't exactly the portal to peace.
00:41:36.000Do you think this spells potentially re-election for Donald Trump?
00:41:39.000Tax cuts popular, you know, foreign policy.
00:41:41.000If it were just policy, then the answer would be clearly yes, right?
00:41:44.000I mean, 57% of Americans now say that the country is moving in the right direction.
00:41:47.000It's almost impossible to see a situation where somebody does not win re-election under those circumstances.
00:41:55.000The regulatory cuts are having a solid impact on businesses.
00:41:59.000He's seeing success in his North Korean negotiations so far.
00:42:02.000He's seeing his success in creating this Saudi-Egyptian-Israeli-Jordanian alliance.
00:42:07.000All of this stuff is really, really good.
00:42:09.000And so on policy, it's very hard to argue with the results that President Trump's administration has been getting.
00:42:14.000The real question is going to be every election is between two people.
00:42:17.000And unfortunately, Donald Trump still is the guy, right?
00:42:21.000And so the question is going to be when it comes to 2020, and you see a lot of Donald Trump being Donald Trump, are people inured to it, which could actually help him, or are people going to be, you know, shocked all anew when it turns out that there's somebody on the other side who is not the worst candidate in American history?
00:42:35.000Like, I think that there's a solid chance Democrats will pick somebody garbagey for 2020 because there are just so many candidates for them to choose from.
00:42:40.000That is going to be my follow-up question.
00:42:41.000Who do you think is the likely picker if you narrow it down to a field of three to five?
00:42:46.000If you were to say three to five, I would probably say Kamala Harris for the intersectionality of it all.
00:42:52.000Joe Biden for the, you know, Obama and the stasis and back to normalcy campaign, and maybe Elizabeth Warren from the Bernie wing, unless Bernie runs again, which would be good.
00:43:05.000I mean, at this point, there are no upper age limits to presidency of the United States.
00:43:09.000I mean, the skeletons from Holy Grail are actually filings for Super PAC approval.
00:43:45.000I mean, there's no question that's a victory.
00:43:47.000It is to the point where Trump says that sort of stuff where, like, our capacity for outrage is now gone because, like, okay, so Trump said something real dumb.
00:44:14.000So there are a couple of possibilities with what's going to happen in June.
00:44:18.000Is this going to be a situation where Trump kind of bends over backward because he feels like he's been given some goodies by the North Koreans?
00:44:23.000Or is this a situation where they're looking to come to the table not because they love President Trump or are scared by President Trump, but because their nuclear mountain just imploded in North Korea?
00:44:31.000The fact is that they had a testing site and that site completely degraded.
00:44:51.000He's like a Chauncey Gardner who just walked into the right place at the right time in North Korea as Dom DeLuise just running through as the set from Blazing Saddles comes down like, oh, damn!
00:49:21.000I think the last time I saw you was the Christmas special, and then we were gonna do something else for the Oscars, but my scheduling was messed up, but it's been a minute, yeah.
00:49:29.000Yes, we were talking about how my mother was not super familiar with the transgender community, and with the language barrier, she was incredibly confused.
00:51:15.000Let me ask you this, because we've talked about this before.
00:51:17.000You know, there's, for people who don't know, there's obviously transvestites, drag queens, and there's transsexuals, and then there's transgender.
00:51:24.000And some people like yourself, transgenders, have gone through multiple procedures.
00:51:27.000And some people are basically just drag queens who call themselves transgender.
00:51:31.000How do we, at DragCon, is this mostly just men who dress up like women, or has it become a hotbed for the transgender community as well?
00:51:40.000Honey, every hot mess trainee at LA goes to it as well.
00:54:29.000You've also gotten death threats from vegans and vegetarians, which I have as well, because I had Lierre Keith on, because you're no longer a vegan.
00:54:35.000So you're getting it from all sides, Blair.
00:54:38.000Getting it from every end, very much that.
00:54:41.000Yeah, so I made a video about how I stopped being vegan.
00:54:46.000And I feel like being vegan's probably good for a two-week cleanse cycle, but once you hit that decade mark, I think things start declining.
00:56:05.000Well, you know, that's actually a good, you would probably be much more on top of your health because you see doctors regularly, obviously with your, you know, when you're doing hormones, anything like that.
00:56:11.000I mean, men who are doing, aging men who go through the hormone replacement therapy, these are people who would be more on top of this than people who just release some YouTube videos.
00:56:18.000And what bothers me, Listen, people can be healthy and be vegans, but there is a lot of bad health advice coming from the vegan community.
00:56:30.000I felt bad for Lierre, who was a liberal on the show, but she became more conservative because of all the death threats she got from the angry vegans.
00:56:39.000I mean, it is crazy how everyone suddenly becomes a doctor, a nutritionist, when in reality, the reason I stopped being vegan was because I went to a doctor.
00:56:54.000Well, I stopped doing green smoothies because I went to a doctor.
00:56:56.000My thyroid got really... Because if you do a lot of raw greens, particularly if you have a thyroid issue, the oxalates in the greens, it's actually really rough on your thyroid.
00:57:03.000So my doctor just said, he's like, listen... And he's super... And I also go to a place that's just preventative care, where these doctors, you know, they do a scan every year to check you for cancer, check your overall health.
00:57:13.000I highly recommend everybody do that to some degree.
00:57:15.000And they just said, listen, The truth is, cook your vegetables.
00:57:18.000The perfect thing would be to have your meat, whatever your complex carbohydrate is, in a limited amount, and if you could steam your vegetables, that's great.
00:57:26.000But raw vegetables, we know some people don't react to them well.
00:57:29.000That's all, and the problem was fixed.
00:57:45.000Yeah, I mean, I'm of the opinion, there have been many, many studies to corroborate it, that young boys and girls do quite well developmentally when they are, you know, involved in activities with just their gender, so... Right.
00:57:58.000It's really not something that I'm for.
00:58:01.000Did the Girl Scouts change their names, too?
00:58:03.000No, the Girl Scouts aren't happy about it.
00:58:05.000The Girl Scouts aren't happy about it.
00:58:06.000And let me ask you this, because I think transgenders are allowed in either the Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts, or both.
00:58:12.000As a transgender person, but you obviously have strong opinions on transitioning children, what's your opinion on Girl Scouts there being like, well, listen, we want a girl-only space, period.
00:58:21.000It seems to me like that's a reasonable request, because boys are gross.
00:58:28.000It's such a conundrum because obviously, one of the things I've been very outspoken about is that I'm against children transitioning.
00:58:36.000The fact that I'm against it doesn't change the fact that they're there.
00:58:39.000And so it does, it makes you sad that young kids can't participate in stuff.
00:58:45.000But at the same time, I think when you're at that young age, I think it is better just to stick with the biological sex and, like, if you've been transitioning since you were, like, six, I disagree with that so heavily.
00:58:55.000By the time you're 13, if you want to join some kind of thing, maybe.
00:58:58.000Never developed puberty of your biological sex, but... Well, that doesn't happen even if you're not transgender if you're in the Boy Scouts.
01:01:01.000All right, just want to make sure that I have some moves so the next guy doesn't kick my ass.
01:01:05.000I always get a little bit nervous when we have guests who don't, you know, obviously we have a lot of MMA fighters on the show, but they're friends of the show.
01:02:08.000And I was told, you know, hey, you can keep your light heavyweight belt, but would you be interested in doing a heavyweight tournament, Grand Prix style tournament?
01:02:16.000Without knowing any of the guys, if it was one night, if it was over time, and we said, yes, let's do it.
01:04:43.000I walked out there and this dude jumped and he literally jumped over my head and I turned around and look at my cornerman and they're just cracking up laughing, you know?
01:04:52.000And then I went out there and he proceeded to, uh, tech me, which means they beat me by 15 points or more.
01:04:57.000Basically the worst thing that could happen.
01:05:24.000Well, I mean, you're a lot bigger than him now, so it's like you're a late bloomer, only you're an angry late bloomer.
01:05:29.000I have a question for you, and I don't want this to be a sore spot, but obviously he's in the news everywhere.
01:05:33.000You fought Jon Jones, and he won that encounter.
01:05:37.000I figured your segue, because you lost to King Moe, I figured this was a perfect time to enter with something else that I'm sure will anger you.
01:05:43.000And now they seem to be throwing the book at him.
01:05:44.000The guy's popped hot now so many times.
01:06:01.000With, you know, physical specimen, his talent is off the charts, you know, and he's never lost a fight.
01:06:08.000Technically, he got DQ'd one, you know, one fight, but he's never actually lost a fight.
01:06:13.000Yeah, I do think it's gonna tarnish his legacy.
01:06:16.000He's been it wasn't a one-time thing It's been multiple multiple things and plus he's he's he's been out for a while And you know that allowed a guy like Cormier to come in and take over that take over a spot Basically and Cormier is a good guy now, you know and yeah You know so that definitely tarnished your legacy for sure if there's a one, you know one time mistake and Everybody makes mistakes.
01:08:26.000Yeah, look, in the early... I mean, listen, I don't want to name names, but Vitor Belfort was fighting at heavyweight, now he can barely tip the middleweight scale.
01:08:32.000The guy was walking around at 220 with, like, your veins in his nipples, for crying out loud.
01:08:37.000So it really is insane, the early days.
01:08:39.000Now, there are both different opinions on that.
01:08:41.000Well, hopefully, listen, we wish you the best with this fight.
01:12:03.000We have an unbelievable week next week.
01:12:04.000You know, I was like 23 years old before I realized that when people talk about euthanasia, they weren't just bitching about kids in Nike shoe sweatshots.
01:12:21.000To be fair, when I got into college, I was 16.
01:12:23.000Because I was a year younger than the way the school system works.
01:12:26.000But I got there and I remember, it was one of those things where we were having a discussion in humanities class and we were talking about euthanasia and the wave came over where the context hit me and I realized I had no idea.
01:12:36.000Yeah, I had a friend who was doing a report on euthanasia and I'm like, that's boring as hell.
01:13:19.000Even in the United States, you have neighborhoods where they bitch about segregation.
01:13:22.000But then in places like Montreal, where it's not a melting pot, you may have people all in the same school, but they are completely self-segregated.
01:13:31.000It was very, very rare to see an Asian, a Chinese girl, or a Korean girl.
01:15:14.000And by the way, the Obama thing that you didn't build, that of course is infuriating.
01:15:19.000As individualists, there is no self-made man.
01:15:22.000There are always other people who have helped him, whether it's a wife, whether it's employees, whether it's a team, whether it's someone who encouraged him, whether it's a mentor.
01:16:26.000Some great guests for people who have not yet joined.
01:16:28.000And I know if you're hitting the notification bell and not receiving them, really the only way at this point is to join Mug Club.
01:16:33.000If you bookmark this page and you're using Google Chrome, good luck.
01:16:35.000It's going to be replaced with CNN pretty soon.
01:16:39.000Something else, too, you know, this idea of you don't owe the world anything, you don't owe anybody anything.
01:16:44.000There's this idea, too, a lot of people ask, I asked a question with Mark Driscoll, how do you balance being authentic, we were talking about this as a Christian, how do you balance being authentic with still also trying to be a good witness, still also trying to be a productive example, right?
01:16:57.000Because you have some people who are pious, they just act like they've never done anything wrong, and that doesn't help anybody at all.
01:17:02.000I always felt ostracized from the church as a kid because of people like that, because they'd hear me and they'd say, well, he said a bad word.
01:17:07.000I'd be like, Yeah, but you forced your girlfriend to have an abortion.
01:17:11.000The pastor just doesn't know about it.
01:17:13.000You're far worse than me saying the S-word.
01:17:46.000And I think this is a good way to look at it, because I've struggled with this, and I've tried to be honest with you guys about a lot of my shortcomings and issues that I struggle with.
01:17:52.000I've talked about some of my problems, my personal problems sometimes.
01:17:54.000Sometimes I've talked about health problems and how I've gotten through them, health
01:17:58.000mistakes that I've made, mental health issues, dealing with anger. So a scar is a
01:18:02.000good example. Just show the world your scar and be proud of it. Well, hold on a second.
01:20:41.000I'm not gonna go, hey, look, look at me, I'm proud that I made a stupid mistake and punched through drywall because I didn't control my temper, and now I'm bleeding, look at this, you need to accept me.
01:20:50.000And they go, oh, you're bleeding right here all over my fresh towels.
01:20:58.000It's okay to make judgments, and it's okay to have scars.
01:21:01.000But you shouldn't take pride in being a walking, festering open wound.
01:21:05.000And that's what I was getting at with Pastor Mark Driscoll, and we had a lot of questions from people saying, you know, listen, man, I find struggle with that balance in life.
01:21:14.000I find struggle with being open about my mistakes, but also wanting to set a good example for people, or also not wanting to fall back into those mistakes.
01:21:32.000You have scars, which means you're not perfect.
01:21:35.000You're not helping anyone by saying, look at my scars, I'm perfect.
01:21:37.000Be honest about the fact that they are imperfections or you are lying to yourself and you are lying to the people you could potentially help.
01:21:45.000Stop with this stupid analogy of the scars.
