Free speech and the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) are the enemies of freedom, and we're here to fight them! Defend Gavin Gavin is a stand up comedian, writer, podcaster and all round bad guy. He's been in the business for a long time, and he's got a lot to say about the SPLC.
00:01:43.000I would never say aud your wish to a man whose bum was out the windy.
00:01:48.000That's why Americans have never lost and never will lose free speech.
00:01:51.000Because the very thought of having no right is hateful to Americans.
00:01:57.000The perverted Peter Puffers who wrote that stuff about Ma Wayne don't know anything more about the real free speech battle than they know about getting their haul.
00:02:08.000And I've got a strong feeling these Jessies haven't even winched a bird.
00:02:13.000Now, we have the best spirit and the best innovators in the world.
00:02:17.000You know, by God, I actually pity those lazy crybaby bastards we're going up against.
00:02:24.000And we're not all just going to fight the SPLC.
00:02:27.000We're going to sue them and use their jobbies to grease the wheels of freedom.
00:02:33.000We're going to beat those bastards one lawsuit at a time.
00:02:39.000Now, some of you boys and girls and Z's, however made up pronouns you have, I know some of yous are wondering or not, I'll chicken you out of fire.
00:02:52.000The SPLC and their ilk are the enemy and I'll set about them.
00:02:57.000I'll give them the Glasgow kiss and have them spend their spondoolies on lawyers.
00:03:02.000We're going to grab the SPLC by the dick and we're going to kick them in the ass.
00:03:06.000We're going to kick the hell out of them all the time and we're going to fight through them like crap through a gush!
00:03:13.000It's going to be a square go and there are going to be guys scattered!
00:03:18.000Now, there's one thing we'll be able to say after this fight, and you may thank God or me for it.
00:03:25.000Thirty years from the new, when you're sitting around the fireside with your grand Wayne on your knee, and he asks you, here you, what did you do about free speech?
00:03:35.000You won't have to say, well I sat around and watched it all come crashing down.
00:06:43.000A survey of salaries reached the surprising conclusion men were being underpaid, but the company acknowledged that the analysis did not address broader issues of gender inequity.
00:06:53.000To swiftly resolve the gap, Google immediately executed all men by way of crucifixion.
00:06:58.000Yeah, that's a man in question reached for comment.
00:07:00.000Couldn't answer until a woman said they could, so they actually didn't hear from them a whole lot.
00:08:17.000Okay, before I continue this, who else here, when you read this story, read, okay, sexless alien, removed nipples, named Jareth, knew immediately, show of hands, it was named after David Bowie from Labyrinth.
00:08:30.000So Jareth, named after David Bowie's character in Labyrinth, says thank you for clarifying, Mere, just wants people to accept who he is and admit that he would rather be called a thing or it.
00:08:40.000He's not looking for full-blown acceptance.
00:08:48.000By the way, in the spirit of fairness, it is important to acknowledge, okay, not all trans aliens are a monolith, as seen by Z's colleagues, their stern rebuke at today's press conference.
00:08:57.000As president of the Space Alien Trannies of America, and one who's worked tirelessly for intergalactic Z's rights, I feel it's imperative to note that Jareth is not representative of our community.
00:11:15.000About 600 Muslim children were withdrawn from the school for the day, and the school confirmed the lessons would resume only after a full consultation with every single parent.
00:11:25.000The story gets a little bit confusing, because both Muslims, as you well know, and LGBTQAIP, in a silent number, too, are protected classes on the left.
00:11:32.000So here to make sense of it all, we actually turn to this week's Louder With Crowder marginalization rankings.
00:11:55.000As you can see, the rankings have seen quite a shake-up this week, with marginalized status changing at a blistering pace.
00:12:01.000As previously mentioned, due to their upset victory at the Birmingham School, we see Muslims jump over gays faster than I jump up for seconds at an all-you-can-eat feline buffet.
00:12:11.000Elsewhere in the rankings, rumors of a Democrat resolution condemning anti-Semitism this week made it appear the Jews might be rising themselves.
00:12:19.000But after Linda Sarsour attacked Nancy Pelosi, some Democrats are now demanding an anti-Islamophobia resolution, leaving the current resolution in doubt.
00:12:27.000So Muslims have officially regained the number one spot.
00:12:31.000I'd hate to be a goat in Fallujah tonight.
00:12:34.000Most surprising is the shocking debut, Steven, of the transgalactic space peep.
00:12:38.000I haven't seen anything this surprising since the look on Willy's face when he caught me with his daughter.
00:13:52.000No, it's just, yeah, it is cotton-headed candy.
00:13:54.000So finally it looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might be in hot water.
00:13:59.000A federal election commission complaint actually says that her chief of staff Could have funneled nearly one million dollars in donations.
00:14:06.000This comes, uh, to where we have the overlay.
00:14:08.000It's been suggested the congresswoman and her team could be facing major fines, potentially even jail time.
00:14:12.000Uh, to be fair, campaign finance law complaints can sometimes just be political, of course.
00:14:16.000Uh, so here to actually give her side of the story, everyone be quiet, we don't want to give her the respect she deserves, is, uh, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:15:05.000Okay, first you're gonna try and call out my supposed campaign finance violations, then you'll call me a socialist, which I am, then you'll call me anti-Semitic, which won't check out because your researcher will clearly say that I get bagels from Slo Mo's in the Bronx every day.
00:16:45.000They allege that the campaign moved almost a million dollars, okay?
00:16:48.000Contributions from a political, you know, PACs, political action committees.
00:16:51.000They, by the way, here's what's important.
00:16:52.000They established, funneling it to private companies, that they also controlled.
00:16:57.000Former FEC Commissioner Brad Smith actually said that the scheme has opened Cortez up to, quote, massive reporting violations, probably at least some illegal contributions violations, exceeding the lawful limits.
00:17:07.000Also, it looks like a lot of the money could have gone to her boyfriend.
00:17:39.000If you don't believe me, here's actually a video.
00:17:41.000I think it's the most watched political video on Twitter ever, with 40 million views, in which she rails, which was a cornerstone of her campaign, against what she called dark money in politics, screaming about how PACs and politicians can work together to currently move money for their own gain.
00:17:56.000This is straight from the googly's mouth.
00:18:01.000And I want to get away with as much bad things as possible, ideally to enrich myself and advance my interests, even if that means putting my interests ahead of the American people.
00:18:16.000So, if I want to run a campaign that is entirely funded by corporate political action committees, is there anything that legally prevents me from doing that?
00:19:07.000So it's really interesting that the reason that this is important is that there is a lot of reporting that happens when you have a campaign that gets money, right?
00:19:14.000They have to spend it, they have to report all of that.
00:20:37.000Come back to it, because notifications may not mean a whole lot in the future, but join MugClub and subscribe on iTunes for the audio version.
00:20:44.000Alright, so here's another point that I think we want to get to.
00:20:46.000As far as I know, and I don't want to speak completely in the affirmative here, no attention from MSNBC, CNN, the left-wing outlets, certainly not on Huffington Post or CNN.
00:20:55.000As a matter of fact, the one story that I think I did see in Huffington Post was, conservatives are trying to tarnish AOC's corporation.
00:22:04.000I think we'll talk about this with Alex Jones.
00:22:06.000They're not pushing for transparency anymore in the realm of free speech.
00:22:10.000But they've tried to transition and say, we're the ones pushing for transparency as it relates to election finance laws, campaign finance laws.
00:23:09.000You know, when she filed to run, I think you might be giving them a little bit too much credit, because when they filed to run, they filed in the wrong district, and then they had to refile to run in the current district that she represents.
00:23:21.000Is it possible That the people, the same people, who filed in the wrong district, tripped up on some campaign finance money.
00:23:35.000And went out of their way to hide it, but didn't know that was bad.
00:23:37.000I was thinking you were going to zig when I expected you to zag, and you just zagged.
00:23:43.000No, and here's something that's important.
00:23:44.000You know, you talk to Bernie, and they talk about PACs, and they talk about corruption in politics, taking big money out of politics.
00:23:50.000I get it that people are remarkably inconsistent, okay?
00:23:53.000But here's something that really, we've done a whole, I think we've done a whole segment if you search our channel, Citizens United, okay?
00:23:58.000They bring up Citizens United a whole lot, you know, Bernie Sanders, and it's, we have to overturn Citizens United, get big donors out of politics.
00:24:07.000Citizens United, for people who don't know, it was initially about an anti-Clinton film that the Clinton campaign tried to suppress, okay?
00:24:14.000That's what people don't understand about Citizens United.
00:24:16.000And the case was about the fact that this media production company, the company basically making this anti-Hillary Clinton film, documentary, had First Amendment protection even though they were a company.
00:24:26.000Right, even though they were a corporation.
00:24:28.000So, what it was about, the Clintons trying to suppress an anti-Clinton film, and the court said they have the right to do this under the guise of the First Amendment.
00:24:36.000Now, that being said, that set a precedent.
00:24:40.000It set a precedent that allowed corporations to funnel money into PACs.
00:24:43.000That's a little bit of a simplification, absolutely, but it's more accurate than what the left has told you about Citizens United, that it was just about PACs going in, wanting to give super donors over to our reptilian overlords.
00:24:54.000And doesn't that remind you of something?
00:24:55.000Dinesh D'Souza, when he had his issues, was when he released his movie, when he was going so hard after Obama to try to show America, like, this is not the way that we want to go.
00:25:04.000And all of a sudden, this random rule that nobody ever gets in trouble for.
00:27:21.000And I know people talk about Donald Trump lying, and I think we can all agree he's done that in the past.
00:27:25.000The difference, we were just talking about this before the show, is Donald Trump He's right about some things, even if he doesn't understand why he's right.
00:27:33.000You know, he might say, no, listen, listen, you guys screw up the housing market, excuse me, okay, excuse me, listen, no, Freddie, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, okay, fake news, you're wrong.
00:27:42.000And you're like, I don't think he understands what he's talking about there, but he is right.
00:28:02.000That poses problems in our system of government and I guarantee you that she thinks all of the fans that she has right now, the people that are following her or kind of whatever on social media, are actually there because she has good ideas.
00:28:15.000We're there because it's a dumpster fire lady, okay?
00:28:19.000We're waiting for you to do something stupid.
00:28:21.000Next, you're providing material every single We'll get to that right before we go to Alex Jones.
00:31:04.000This is what it ultimately comes down to, the progressive worldview.
00:31:07.000And for some reason, we've accepted this myth, or society at large has accepted this.
00:31:12.000I don't want to even say this myth, but this false narrative, and I know that sounds so pedestrian and overplayed, but it really is a false narrative that it is somehow compassionate, that it is somehow selfless to spend somebody else's money.
00:32:57.000Banks apparently targeting black Americans This is one.
00:33:02.000I don't want to go through them, right?
00:33:04.000I don't want to parse those right now because I would like Congresswoman Nina Pinto Santa Maria Cortez to come on this show we can talk about it, but I was surprised that she picked those three examples that I was quite shocking it was Quite shocking, yes.
00:34:43.000They can't get in there because someone else, now the government has determined, is a victim of their own socioeconomic status, and the bank can't foreclose upon them because they bought three homes that they couldn't afford.
00:34:52.000Again, these are the unintended consequences that nobody thinks about, because it's an inherently selfish worldview, and an inherently selfish worldview, just like a five-year-old who wants more cotton candy, is selfish.
00:36:14.000I just wanted to tell you that on my eBay profile for sale right now is one doggo Argentino puppy named Betty and for the price of the current offer zero dollars.
00:37:21.000I'm always a little worried about you being on the show because I always feel as... I'm always worried that you'll come on the show and ask me why I haven't had you on the show, and then we get into a fight.
00:37:30.000But we never really had a fight, so I totally get that you're doing a great job.
00:37:37.000You don't have a lot of guests on these days, so I'm just happy to be here and the great work you're doing over at CRTV and all the rest of it.
00:37:46.000I notice you're in a short sleeve, or usually you wear a suit, and usually I'm in something a little shorter sleeve, but you just had a recent surgery.
00:37:52.000Now, was it your bicep to your elbow or to the shoulder?
00:37:53.000Because that's a huge difference in the surgery.
00:37:56.000Yeah, the shoulder would be much, much worse.
00:38:21.000There's no way I'm pronouncing that broad from Twitter's name correctly today.
00:38:24.000Before we get on to the censorship issue, with you and kind of the deplatforming, first, what has the feedback been like after your latest Joe Rogan appearance?
00:38:33.000Because you guys were going back and forth for a bit, a lot of fighting.
00:38:37.000How did you two bury the hatchet so quickly?
00:38:40.000Well, I didn't like the fact that Jack Dorsey went on there and just spewed BS a month ago.
00:39:09.000But then, once he had me on, we had a great four hour plus podcast.
00:39:12.000It's the biggest podcast he's ever done.
00:39:14.000Something like 20 million views right now, 10 million views on YouTube, 10 million views roughly on iTunes.
00:39:21.000So it's one of the biggest podcasts ever.
00:39:24.000And he's got nothing but positive feedback, 97% positive feedback.
00:39:28.000Conversely, the head of Twitter goes on a month ago, he had 80 plus percent negative feedback.
00:39:34.000So as we were talking before we went live here, Jack and his mother, I guess her name is Vajaya God, literally it's her name, she goes on and holds his hand and says,
00:39:45.000We're not censoring anybody, but we did take Alex Jones off for beating a kid up.
00:40:36.000And I say that because I'm pretty sure we have, and we probably provided some... I mean, we show videos almost on a loop, like a morphine drip, of Muslim men beating their wives in Saudi Arabia all the time, just to keep it at the forefront of people's mind.
00:40:47.000We usually play the chicken dance to it.
00:41:17.000I mean, it was like a suicide mission.
00:41:19.000They come on there and BS that we're not censoring conservatives when we've got all their internal videos from Project Veritas and all their admissions and the incredible censorship.
00:41:28.000And they allow Antifa to dox people, but nobody else can.
00:41:39.000I thought it was actually a terrifying podcast.
00:41:41.000Well, I think there were some good questions, some pointed questions, but for me, kind of the moment where I noticed, ah, I don't think Jack's going to get it, I don't think they can fix this, is when he unironically used the term LGBTQA.
00:41:55.000And he didn't realize that, you know what, not even the gay in the LGBTQA are on board with just tacking on every single letter to that acronym.
00:42:04.000I don't know that they can fix that blind spot.
00:42:06.000That was, when I was watching it, I thought Joe and Tim did a good job of holding their feet to the fire, but it felt like a hopeless endeavor.
00:42:12.000I don't want to be a nihilist, but do you feel like that sometimes when you watch this, especially given your situation?
00:42:18.000Yeah, it frightened me because she said not just that I got in trouble for showing child endangerment, which wasn't true.
00:42:26.000The clip was everywhere in the country.
00:42:31.000They then moved on and said that I said use battle rifles on the media, but they didn't show a clip.
00:42:35.000They took a 38-minute podcast I did one night, but I had a few beers.
00:42:40.000But none of it had to do with violence.
00:42:41.000It was like, we don't want to be violent.
00:42:43.000We've got to use the criminal judicial system.
00:42:45.000And Antifa says they're coming to the houses of law enforcement and Congress to kill them.
00:42:49.000You better have your battle rifles ready.
00:42:50.000So they played this word salad game, you know, like the refrigerator magnets, where you change the words around.
00:42:55.000And she reads this statement, it's literally one word with quotes around another word, and says that, well, you know, Joe, we had to take him off.
00:43:21.000I put out a million dollar reward when they had All these different talk show hosts covering him, and they had Lester Holt, and they had Jack Dorsey on with him.
00:43:30.000And he's like, you know, it's pretty scary.
00:43:32.000He said, use battle rifles to kill the media.
00:43:34.000And he said, we're going to do all this.
00:43:35.000He goes, I know it's scary, but we got to keep him on.
00:43:38.000It was all just a big staged event to act like they were, you know, free speech, but they were still planning to get rid of me.
00:44:52.000Have you seen, by the way, I know you're not on YouTube now, but it seems as though there might be some retroactive changes here after listening to Dorsey and Vijaya.
00:45:37.000If they can remove someone for even just saying, hey, this is a call to arms metaphorically to fight back against the media, they can do it.
00:45:44.000To anyone, and I do think people need to take notice of that regardless of whether they agree with you or not.
00:45:58.000No, you set the precedent for everybody else.
00:46:00.000So what they did is they could have gone back and found some real stuff I said out of context, but still some things I said later that I'm like, I shouldn't have said that.
00:46:08.000It didn't come off as tongue in cheek, you know, whatever.
00:46:11.000But but with the case of The items that you mentioned, I would never even tongue-in-cheek say, you're coming over the hill, you know, it's the Alamo, get your guns ready because they're gonna take it out of context.
00:46:31.000So the point was, I'm like, we need to peacefully through the courts of the criminal justice system.
00:46:35.000Stand up and if Antifa attacks our homes, we need to not be offensive because, like Martin Luther King said and Gandhi and Jesus, we need to take it on the cheek because that's how we beat them.
00:46:47.000The damn 38-minute podcast was about nonviolence.
00:46:51.000It wasn't exactly like that, but I understand your point.
00:46:54.000But I said at the point, by the whole thing, I said at the point of them attacking your house, you've got to defend yourself and have your battle rifles ready.
00:47:05.000One million dollar, one million dollar prize.
00:47:08.000If you can find me saying get battle rifles and go after the media, I'll pay you one million dollars.
00:47:13.000I'm not going to collect that check, just like the people never collected the check for the United Negroes College Fund when Andrew Breitbart offered it for anyone who could find footage of them hurling the n-word at Congressman Clyburn.
00:47:22.000I do think, and this is one thing that the left has admitted now, they didn't used to admit, I thought it was very telling that Jack Dorsey and uh... I'm not gonna say her name on here.
00:47:30.000Um... Sounds like vagina, but Jack Dorsey.
00:48:22.000Jack Dorsey said, yeah, as it relates to sort of political pressures, external political pressures, I don't have the exact quote, but I remember him saying, yeah, the left wants us to do more, the left wants us to censor people more, and the right wants less.
00:48:34.000He admitted that, and we've talked about that on the show for a long time, I know you have, that the left demands less transparency, the left demands less truth, whereas conservatives, the right, libertarians, everyone under that umbrella, demands more.
00:49:31.000The future British Prime Minister is saying, you know, he wants Tommy Robinson taken off YouTube or he'll use governmental powers to shut down YouTube.
00:49:55.000Well, I think Google has the most power.
00:49:56.000Yes, I would say I think Google, then Facebook, because they have both Google and YouTube, then probably Facebook, and Twitter is further on down that list.
00:50:01.000That's why when we've talked about sort of taking legal action, and we have, they're not at the front of our queue because they've pretty much admitted they want to be a tool for social change.
00:50:10.000But this is interesting, as you're a libertarian, I've talked with Nigel Farage about this, a few different guests, What do you think the solution is?
00:50:15.000As a small government libertarian, do you think that the government should step in and regulate them as public utilities?
00:50:20.000Because as you just talked about, right, that's a slippery slope.
00:50:22.000In the UK, the government wants to pressure YouTube to take Tommy Robinson off.
00:50:29.000I'm really glad you raised that nuanced point, Mr. Crowder.
00:50:34.000If we don't regulate the internet with the necessary evil, with a prohibition, like the Second Amendment says you will not infringe.
00:50:40.000The First Amendment says you will not infringe.
00:50:43.000It's not A government power taking something away, it's a guarantor saying that you have immunity as a citizen to defend yourself, you have immunity to have free speech, this is sacrosanct, this is what we worship, this is who we are, this is what makes us who we are.
00:50:59.000And so, yes, I don't like government being involved, I'm a libertarian like you,
00:51:02.000but then when the EU and the UK and government says, we're gonna use government power
00:51:08.000to censor and shut everybody down, who's a nationalist, who's a Brexiter,
00:51:12.000who's a conservative, who's pro-military, who's pro-family, who's a capitalist,
00:51:17.000then you've gotta have government come in and say, we're guaranteeing these basic rights
00:51:22.000like our current law does on the internet.
00:51:45.000But instead, when we stand down, it creates a vacuum where all these regulators come in and we let the EU and the UK and the Chinese governments praising U.S.
00:51:55.000So that vacuum, because we're like, we're conservatives, Heritage Foundation, these are private companies, they'll do whatever they want.
00:52:00.000Well, now we just gave in to the vacuum of all these other very rapacious forces.
00:52:06.000Here's what I've proposed, at least as a step.
00:52:09.000Tell me if you agree with this or not.
00:52:10.000I think that what we need to do is have some transparency.
00:52:13.000Again, as we've talked about, conservatives, libertarians, we demand transparency.
00:52:15.000I think that YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and any other social media platforms, they need to publicly declare whether they see themselves as publishers or as open platforms that they do not censor.
00:52:26.000If they say, hey, we're private publishers, like a BuzzFeed, like a HuffPo, then we say, okay, then You're no longer a social media platform.
00:52:55.000So do you think that probably the most important first step would be for them to have to formally declare whether they are a neutral platform or publisher?
00:53:03.000Because then we can hold them to their own standards.
00:53:06.000If they won't back off and stop being authoritarian censors, I'd rather them use the immunity as a third... I mean, it's not their fault if I'm on a telephone saying something or I'm on Facebook.
00:54:26.000Studying globalists and studying what they're into, they are into the occult, just like every major ancient religion thought they were conjuring creatures.
00:54:35.000They were getting data from beyond the veil.
00:54:37.000And so when you read the Bible about one world government, Mark of the Beast, and there'll be humans conjuring demons, and demons will be set loose on the earth, and then you study San Francisco and the liberals, they're taking DMT, they're taking ayahuasca, and they're having group events with 20, 30, 50, 100 people.
00:54:56.000And by the way, Joe Rogan said this on air, we never got there fully, but we had an hour and a half conversation before we went live, and he says, listen, you're thinking about Clockwork Elves, he goes, I take DMT all the time.
00:55:05.000He goes, we have group, basically group experiences.
00:55:08.000We're talking to these aliens and they look like little elves.
00:55:11.000And I'm like, well, listen, I'm not going to take that.
00:55:58.000Hey, Alex, since this is a pre-tape, because I'm so sick, can you pause real quick, and we'll do this as an after the bell, and upload this as another segment, because I'd like to get into this deeper, but we do have to hit the clock here.
00:56:18.000We will be back after this to close the show and this will be uploaded at a later date because Alex and I are going to go into a little bit of a rabbit hole here.
00:57:41.000But I do have some Walthers for you, actually, before you leave, so I think that'll be nice.
00:57:45.000LathropCutter.com slash MugClub, and of course our wonderful sponsor, Walther.
00:57:48.000If you cannot join at MugClub, you know we've been hit with four, five, six copyright strikes this last week, and we need to feed the half-Asian kraken, so Kraken, I don't know how to pronounce it.
00:59:21.000I'm disgusted with myself for even doing that.
00:59:25.000Next week, we have some great guests lined up.
00:59:28.000And for the first time, I think we're actually going to have I believe it's Yara from the Change My Mind from this week.
00:59:33.000She was tweeting us and has been actually very respectful and I'm hoping that we'll have her on the show and it'll be an interesting look back because usually people don't want to come on the show afterward.
01:01:24.000I think this is something that's been tossed around quite a bit, and Cortez has talked about this, so it seems fitting.
01:01:31.000I was at the vet this week, and I'm hoping, this is one thing, the vet stuff always, I think Joe Rogan and Kevin Smith were talking about this, the dog stuff always gets me, so hopefully I'm not going to be too emotional.
01:01:40.000I was at the vet this week, everything's kind of okay, but it's been rough with the chemo treatment.
01:01:43.000Again, I appreciate the kind words of support.
01:01:46.000But I was there at this emergency vet on Saturday, And while I was waiting there in the waiting room, there was this 15-year-old girl who was crying.
01:01:59.000And it's one of those things I will genuinely never forget this girl's face.
01:02:05.000I actually, I feel things really deeply, but I'm socially very awkward.
01:02:08.000People who've probably met me, sometimes they're surprised, like when we do a change of my mind or we do the show, it's like, I would have thought this deal would be a little bit more outgoing.
01:02:14.000Whereas my dad was with me, and he knows the right thing to say.
01:02:19.000So this girl was crying, she was very upset, and I said, hey, yeah, what's going on?
01:02:24.000She said, I brought in my 14-year-old dog, and she had a seizure, and she was crying, just tears streaming down her face.
01:02:31.000I said, oh, yeah, you know, that's kind of tough, and talked about what we were kind of going through with Hopper and the cancer treatment, and I didn't know what to say.
01:04:24.000Um, and the vet said, well, you know, it depends if you think she's most comfortable doing that.
01:04:29.000Um, and it's one of those things where I'm in this position where I can see effectively that this girl's whole world is about to become unglued.
01:04:40.000Um, and I didn't sleep at all that night.
01:05:38.000Why did I go out there, and even though it's just a laugh for 20 seconds before I know she's gonna have to hold her 14-year-old dog before they put it down, why would it matter?
01:05:46.000Why would I go out there and try to be strong?
01:05:49.000I know it sounds silly for this 15-year-old girl, because if even for 15 seconds I can protect a girl like that from pain.
01:05:56.000And it's the same thing with our family members, with our wives, with our daughters, with our sisters.
01:06:00.000This is why men act the way that we do.
01:06:10.000I'll tell you this, I just, I wanted to give this girl a hug, and I know, I know I can't because, you know, of course it would be inappropriate, but, um...
01:06:16.000I felt so bad for her, and there was no dad present.
01:06:20.000Doesn't mean that she doesn't have a dad.
01:06:21.000But it was that much more heartbreaking.
01:06:22.000Again, it's this carnal, this primal reaction, this visceral reaction that a man will have if there is a woman who is vulnerable, who is exposed, and there is no man there to help her.
01:06:40.000It's in our nature to protect and to provide.
01:06:44.000Just as it's in your nature, women, to nurture, care for.
01:06:48.000We want to prevent pain for you at all costs.
01:06:51.000And by the way, I understand this ironically.
01:06:54.000Sometimes, that leads to us causing pain.
01:06:57.000We get so stressed out over trying to provide to protect, whether it's work, whether it's trying to be strong emotionally, that we end up lashing out at those who we live to provide for, who we live to protect.
01:07:09.000Just like women, ironically, end up suffocating the people they love sometimes, or spoiling them.
01:07:13.000With children, it's in our nature, and it needs to be bridled.
01:07:56.000And that's when I told her what I had experienced with the 15 year old girl,
01:07:59.000that they were gonna put the dog down.
01:08:01.000And at that point in time, because I had made sure that my wife was taken care of before myself, that's toxic masculinity by the way, and that's a biblical Notion.
01:08:11.000The idea of esteeming others first, of treating your wives and your women as the best among you.
01:08:16.000When we talk about where do we get morals from, the idea of mercy, it wasn't really considered a virtue in a lot of societies until modern Christendom.
01:08:24.000The idea of treating your wives as the best among you, the idea of treating your wives with love, and I get it, people will say, well what about submit to your husbands?
01:08:32.000Okay, it talks about men loving your wives.
01:08:38.000This is just me talking about my worldview once I had made sure that my wife was taken care of, that I had quelled any fears or anxiety she had.
01:08:49.000It was fine for me to be vulnerable with my wife.
01:08:53.000It was fine for me to shed a tear and explain something that was deeply impactful and hurtful.
01:08:58.000And my wife would never condemn me for it.
01:09:02.000And that's because we have an open, complementary relationship where we understand each other's needs and do our best to meet them as members of the opposite sex.
01:09:11.000This idea that men just, by the way, the idea that expressing, Jordan Peterson is talking about this, just expressing emotions is somehow inherently helpful, it's not true.
01:09:21.000Let me give you those examples right there.
01:09:23.000You know how I felt when I saw that 15 year old girl?
01:09:35.000When I came home, it was late, I was tired, I felt this cold coming down, or flu, whatever the hell it is, Ebola czar, Ebola czars, czar, czars, whatever that is.
01:10:14.000There's something wrong with telling boys and telling young men that they should cry for the sake of crying, or that it's inherently a virtue to cry.
01:10:26.000It's inherently a good thing to bridle your emotions To moderate your own instincts instead of just acting on them, and I would say it's an inherently good thing to teach young men to be vulnerable with the people they trust and they love, like their wives, like their families.
01:10:42.000There's this idea that people talk about quite a bit, as though men either have to live into this archetype of big dumb jock, or the sensitive artistic type who cries.
01:10:52.000Do you realize that's a very new thing?
01:10:54.000Look at the readings of Teddy Roosevelt or even Abraham Lincoln.
01:11:18.000It broke apart, really, with modern progressive feminism.
01:11:22.000I hate to beat a dead horse here, but that's where we really separated people with the sexual revolution.
01:11:25.000And honestly, it just made it easier for scumbags to get laid.
01:11:28.000Let's be honest, that one's not working out really well for women.
01:11:31.000The original term, I've talked about this before and I'll leave you with this, was, you've heard this expression, jack of all trades, master of none.
01:11:38.000It was originally jack of all trades, master of one.
01:11:42.000Meaning you were expected to be a jack-of-all-trades, adequate, passable in all facets of life, and to be a master of one domain.
01:11:50.000That's what would make a truly great person.
01:12:34.000But imagine an entire generation, now really we're going on two generations of boys who've been told that all of their instincts, all of their hardwiring is wrong and toxic.
01:12:45.000They're going to be afraid to be who they are.
01:13:05.000Do you understand what kind of a conflicted message that is, to send young men?
01:13:12.000And I'm hoping that there are some women watching this, particularly some young feminist women who maybe haven't peered behind the curtain, who maybe haven't understood what it is that makes young men tick.
01:13:20.000We love, we care, and we are just as emotional, and we don't act on it because we love you.
