00:00:00.000 Well folks, there's something deeply broken about our society, and sometimes there are just some pretty egregious symptoms of that being the case.
00:00:07.000 One of those symptoms is a person whose name is Lily Phillips.
00:00:11.000 Lily Phillips is 23 years old, and right now she's become quite prominent because she has a very lucrative OnlyFans account where she earns millions of dollars to take her clothes off and have sex in front of men. 1.00
00:00:22.000 And back in October, Lily Phillips did a stunt. 1.00
00:00:26.000 And did is the operative word here.
00:00:28.000 This stunt involved having sex with 101 men in a day.
00:00:33.000 She did that back in October.
00:00:35.000 She did a documentary about it titled, I Slept With 100 Men in One Day. 0.95
00:00:40.000 So aptly titled.
00:00:42.000 YouTuber Josh Peters was the person who helped her make this documentary.
00:00:46.000 And here she was talking about the experience.
00:00:50.000 When was the last time you ate?
00:00:53.000 I had a...
00:00:53.000 I think I had a yam-yam.
00:00:57.000 And I think I had a sandwich.
00:00:58.000 And that was kind of...
00:00:59.000 And then the rest...
00:01:00.000 It's not for the weak girls.
00:01:03.000 If I'm honest.
00:01:04.000 It was hard.
00:01:08.000 I don't know if I'd recommend it.
00:01:10.000 Why not?
00:01:11.000 I think if you're a different type of girl, it's very like...
00:01:14.000 It's kind of like being a...
00:01:16.000 In a sense of like...
00:01:18.000 It's just a different...
00:01:23.000 Feeling.
00:01:24.000 I don't know how to explain it, like...
00:01:26.000 It's not like just having sex with someone?
00:01:30.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:01:31.000 Just one in, one out, like it feels...
00:01:33.000 intense.
00:01:35.000 Like more intense than you thought it might?
00:01:40.000 And she ends up breaking down in tears, basically.
00:01:43.000 She says, quote, I think by the 30th, when we're getting on a bit, I've got a routine of how we're going to do this, and sometimes you dissociate, and it's not like normal sex at all.
00:01:50.000 She admitted that she did not remember much of this.
00:01:53.000 She said, in my head right now, I can think of 5, 6, 10 guys I remember, and that's it.
00:01:57.000 But it's just weird, isn't it?
00:01:58.000 If I didn't have the videos, I wouldn't have known.
00:01:59.000 I did 100. We're good to go.
00:02:23.000 So she had already broken down.
00:02:24.000 We can see in the video that she's been crying and all the rest.
00:02:27.000 Well, none of this is apparently stopping her from taking on a new challenge now because the money is too good. 1.00
00:02:33.000 I like that video where she suggests that she feels like a prostitute.
00:02:36.000 Well, yes, definitionally having sex for money would be prostitution. 0.77
00:02:41.000 She has claimed she wants to take on a new challenge in January, according to the New York Post.
00:02:45.000 1,000 men in 24 hours.
00:02:48.000 Male talent casting call, 18 plus only.
00:02:50.000 Location to be determined.
00:02:52.000 I dreamed it up with my assistant.
00:02:54.000 I can't wait.
00:02:54.000 It's very exciting.
00:02:55.000 It will be a world record, a real challenge, she claimed.
00:02:59.000 Apparently, the current world record is held by a person named Lisa Sparks, an adult film star who bedded 919 men in one day at a sex industry event in Poland back in 2004. Sparks said, to be completely transparent with you all, this event is the one thing I regret doing in the 23 plus years in the porn industry to this day.
00:03:15.000 It was the only job I agreed to perform strictly for the money.
00:03:18.000 Well, I doubt that that is true.
00:03:20.000 Okay, so here is the thing about all this and is screwed up in a thousand different ways.
00:03:28.000 As a columnist for the UK Daily Mail named Jane Fryer writes, she says, That this talking to Lily is like bobbing into a parallel universe where everything is upside down.
00:03:40.000 Where Gen Z bodies are for sale like sweets. 1.00
00:03:41.000 Sex is nothing more than a numbers game. 0.87
00:03:43.000 And parents, even grandparents apparently, are quote, very supportive.
00:03:47.000 Lily's mother is her head of finance.
00:03:49.000 I can't imagine why she's so screwed up.
00:03:52.000 According to this columnist, So,
00:04:24.000 let's be clear.
00:04:25.000 The question here is, why this is wrong?
00:04:30.000 Really, this is a question.
00:04:31.000 Why this is wrong?
00:04:31.000 In our modern society, I have a feeling there are a lot of people who are going to have a hard time explaining why this is wrong.
00:04:38.000 Really, what's the big problem?
00:04:39.000 For a lot of folks, particularly on the secular left, that's a relevant question.
00:04:43.000 After all, she's engaging in consensual activity.
00:04:46.000 Why is this wrong?
00:04:47.000 Why is this bad?
00:04:50.000 Well, this shows the shortcomings of consent as the only value.
00:04:52.000 See, we live in a society in which consent is considered the highest and perhaps the only value.
00:04:57.000 That's because we've largely bought into the liberal framework for how society ought to run.
00:05:01.000 So the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, his first famous book was a book called The Righteous Mind.
00:05:06.000 And according to Jonathan Haidt, there are six moral matrices.
00:05:10.000 Different measures of how we measure morality.
00:05:12.000 The first is care versus harm.
00:05:14.000 The second is liberty versus oppression.
00:05:16.000 The third is fairness versus cheating.
00:05:18.000 The fourth is loyalty versus betrayal.
00:05:20.000 The fifth is authority versus subversion.
00:05:23.000 And the sixth is sanctity versus degradation.
00:05:26.000 So, for example, care versus harm would be whether you're compassionate if you see a suffering human being.
00:05:34.000 That's one value system.
00:05:36.000 Liberty versus oppression would be if you see an unjust rule being promulgated that oppresses someone versus is that person free to make their own choices.
00:05:44.000 Fairness or cheating would be if somebody cheats you.
00:05:47.000 It's unfair because somebody has cheated you.
00:05:48.000 Loyalty versus betrayal would be if someone betrays a group.
00:05:52.000 Authority versus subversion is if somebody disrespects legitimate authority, and sanctity versus degradation is if somebody does something disgusting, for example.
00:06:01.000 Well, as it turns out, liberals and conservatives, left versus right, they think of the world in a very different way from one another.
00:06:06.000 Liberals are interested in only about three of these six matrices.
00:06:11.000 They're interested in the question of care versus harm, so compassion, liberty versus oppression, so the idea of your individual rights and individualism, and finally, fairness versus cheating.
00:06:22.000 Is the final outcome of a system fair or are rights distributed fairly?
00:06:28.000 Conservatives, people on the right, care about all six of those matrices, right?
00:06:32.000 Including things like loyalty and betrayal, authority and subversion, and most importantly, sanctity versus degradation.
00:06:39.000 So, if you're on the left, what do you do about somebody like Lily Phillips?
00:06:42.000 Well, theoretically, you could make the argument that she's harming herself.
00:06:47.000 This violates the sort of care-harm principle.
00:06:49.000 That's why what she's doing is wrong. 0.98
00:06:50.000 But that runs up directly against the liberty foundations of liberalism.
00:06:54.000 Because after all, she's the one who has volunteered her consent into it.
00:06:58.000 How can you tell her?
00:06:59.000 Can you be paternalistic enough to suggest that she has harmed herself under the rubric of leftism?
00:07:05.000 And also, is it unfair that she did this?
00:07:07.000 Well, I mean, she did accept the arrangement.
00:07:08.000 In fact, she sought the arrangement.
00:07:09.000 In fact, she's being paid by the tonnage for this arrangement.
00:07:14.000 If you're a conservative, the answer is actually quite easy.
00:07:18.000 Lily Phillips here and women like her, who make themselves cheap, are engaging in self-harm. 1.00
00:07:24.000 Liberty is not libertinism.
00:07:25.000 It is bounded by rules.
00:07:26.000 Fairness is not implicated here because she has no right to engage in this sort of conduct on a moral level. 0.99
00:07:32.000 She has no moral right. 1.00
00:07:33.000 She may have a legal right. 0.52
00:07:33.000 That's not the same thing as having a moral right to do this sort of stuff. 0.52
00:07:37.000 She is being disloyal, not only to any boyfriend she might have, but to the standards of her society and to humanity at large.
00:07:43.000 You're being disloyal to humanity when you violate yourself this way.
00:07:47.000 She is undermining the authority of basic morality. 0.99
00:07:50.000 And most of all, most importantly, what she is doing is disgusting. 0.99
00:07:54.000 Now, I know that that word has sort of fallen out of usage.
00:07:57.000 Disgust.
00:07:58.000 Disgusting.
00:07:59.000 And the idea in sort of modern left-wing parlance is that if you talk about something being disgusting, it means that you're being judgmental.
00:08:06.000 So, for example, Jonathan Haidt, in this book, The Righteous Mind, he talks about the fact that when he teaches his college students, one of the questions he will ask them is, is it immoral for you to have sex with a frozen chicken?
00:08:17.000 Liberals will say, maybe, and then they'll think about it and they'll think, no, it doesn't violate my principles of consent.
00:08:23.000 It doesn't violate the care-harm matrix.
00:08:25.000 It's a violation of liberty to say that it is disgusting or problematic or wrong.
00:08:29.000 There's nothing unfair about having sex with a chicken.
00:08:31.000 Conservatives are like, yeah, it's gross.
00:08:33.000 It's wrong.
00:08:34.000 You're degrading yourself.
00:08:36.000 Disgust is a useful thing. 1.00
00:08:37.000 It has actually kept human beings alive for eons.
00:08:40.000 Originally it evolved as a way of naturally driving people away for things that are quite bad for them.
00:08:45.000 The reason that human beings have a reaction of disgust when they see, for example, a snake is because snakes can kill people.
00:08:51.000 Now, that does not mean that all disgust historically is proper.
00:08:56.000 Sometimes, human beings are disgusted at behaviors or traits that are perfectly legitimate or have risen through no fault of the person you're disgusted by.
00:09:04.000 So, for example, there are a lot of primitive cultures where people with mental disabilities are found to be disgusting.
00:09:09.000 In ancient Sparta, you have a disabled baby and you leave it out on a cliff somewhere. 0.95
00:09:14.000 But disgust, as a general human emotion, is a response to the violation of the sacred.
00:09:20.000 So what exactly is the sacred?
00:09:22.000 The sacred is the thing that we as a species place beyond question.
00:09:26.000 That's what sacred means.
00:09:27.000 Sacred means that you're taking something and you now declare it holy.
00:09:30.000 And for something to be holy means it is separate from the secular.
00:09:33.000 It is something that is not to be questioned.
00:09:35.000 It is something that of such high value that to question it would undermine the entire society.
00:09:40.000 To throw away the sacred is to throw out one of the things that is most important in building a society.
00:09:45.000 Again, there are some things we find so sacred that we will not violate them.
00:09:50.000 The philosopher Robert Nisbet, in a book called The Twilight of Authority, writes about this.
00:09:53.000 He says, the greatest of all distinctions the human mind is capable of, according to Emile Durkheim, another sociologist, is that between the sacred and the profane or merely utilitarian.
00:10:01.000 Even the distinction between good and evil is small by comparison, for both good and evil are representations of the sacred, positive or negative.
00:10:09.000 Nisbet says, rightly, did Emile Durkheim declare the sacred, but the other side of the coin on which community is written.
00:10:15.000 Human aggregates are possible, or at least conceivable, without a sense of the sacred, but not, Durkheim declared, community.
00:10:21.000 You can't get an entire community together to share the same values unless they agree on a concept of the sacred and the profane.
00:10:27.000 Things that are so high in value that they are not worth arguing about, and to argue with them, should actually generate a feeling of disgust.
00:10:35.000 Well, society is supposed to value the sacred, but nothing is sacred when it comes to companies trying to sell you on fake deals.
00:10:41.000 There's no shortage of flashy ads from the big wireless carriers offering the latest iPhone for free.
00:10:46.000 But look a little deeper, you'll quickly realize what they actually mean.
00:10:49.000 To qualify, you need to trade in your phone, not just any phone, one valued at $1,000.
00:10:53.000 Then, you're required to sign up for their $100 a month unlimited plan and pay that sneaky $35 activation fee on top of it all.
00:10:59.000 That's a lot of money for something they call free.
00:11:01.000 Don't fall for those marketing tricks.

00:12:38.000 Terrific teachers.
00:12:39.000 Check them out today.
00:12:40.000 Grand Canyon University, gcu.edu.
00:12:43.000 That's gcu.edu.
00:12:44.000 It is community, says Robert Nisbet, that gives to the sacred its most vital expressions everywhere.
00:12:49.000 Birth, marriage, death, and other moments in the human drama.
00:12:51.000 These are all things of such high value that we place at such a premium that they become sacred.
00:12:57.000 So, in the case of Lily Phillips, what is sacred here?
00:13:00.000 Well, how about the individual human soul?
00:13:03.000 How about the individual human soul?
00:13:04.000 You do not own your own soul.
00:13:06.000 It does not belong to you.
00:13:07.000 You have duties attached to the stewardship of your soul.
00:13:12.000 How about your innate humanity made in the image of God?
00:13:16.000 You as a human being are sacred.
00:13:18.000 You're the sacred property of the divine.
00:13:21.000 After all, whatever disgusting substances this woman has anointed herself with, those can be washed off. 1.00
00:13:25.000 But her soul can't be washed off without repenting of what she has done to herself.
00:13:29.000 And she knows that.
00:13:29.000 Why do you think she's breaking down?
00:13:30.000 Why do you think she's upset?
00:13:31.000 It's not just because of the physical exertion.
00:13:34.000 It's because she made herself into a sex robot. 1.00
00:13:36.000 She made herself into something profane.
00:13:39.000 She did a profane thing. 1.00
00:13:40.000 And she should be disgusted with herself.
00:13:42.000 She should be ashamed of herself.
00:13:44.000 And a society should be able to look at that behavior and say, that is wrong behavior.
00:13:48.000 It's not just a matter of moral apathy.
00:13:51.000 Because a society that greenlights this sort of behavior or celebrates it or pays people millions of dollars for this sort of behavior gets more of it.
00:13:58.000 It reduces the humanity in all of us to the level of the animal.
00:14:02.000 It removes the sacred completely.
00:14:03.000 And then all you're left with is the profane.
00:14:05.000 And you cannot build any community, any workable society on the profane alone.
00:14:11.000 Human beings, we have a natural understanding of the sacred.
00:14:14.000 We have a natural understanding, a desire to worship, a desire to understand there are things that are of eternal value.
00:14:20.000 This is why, by the way, the concept of consent when it comes to sex is necessary, but it is not sufficient.
00:14:26.000 Meaning, of course, consent is necessary to sex, but it is not the only marker of whether sex itself is a good thing or a bad thing in how people engage in it.
00:14:35.000 It's because we've lost the concept of the sacred and the profane, for example, that I think some things have happened in the Me Too movement.
00:14:43.000 So, for example, in the Me Too movement, there's a phenomenon that has arisen many times where women will consent to sex with someone they should not have consented to sex to.
00:14:52.000 They'll treat themselves badly and then they'll wake up the next morning and they'll decide they didn't like it.
00:14:56.000 And they don't have the language to even express what it is they don't like because they already gave consent and you can't un-give the consent.
00:15:03.000 So then they go to the language of consent again.
00:15:06.000 They'll say that they were raped in some cases when they weren't actually raped or the evidence shows they weren't raped.
00:15:10.000 But they're not wrong to feel bad about themselves.
00:15:12.000 They're not wrong to feel bad about the decision making.
00:15:15.000 Regret is an understanding you have taken something sacred and you have made it profane.
00:15:20.000 And the relationship between two people who love one another in a committed bond, that is a sacred thing.
00:15:26.000 That's what makes sex sacred rather than profane.
00:15:28.000 And if you treat it as a profane thing, well, a lot of the time, profane things are going to feel profane to you.
00:15:33.000 You might wake up in the morning and feel degraded because maybe you degraded yourself.
00:15:39.000 And then people look for an excuse for why they feel the way they do.
00:15:41.000 But they don't even have the language to explain why they feel the way they do.
00:15:44.000 It's particularly true of young women who are engaging in activities that later they regret.
00:15:50.000 They don't even understand why they regret it.
00:15:52.000 But the answer is that we are all, men and women, all of us are capable of sullying ourselves, of disgusting ourselves.
00:16:00.000 And that is a worthwhile tendency in human beings to recognize that That sometimes when we look at the behavior of somebody like a Lily Phillips here, she should be upset and we should be upset that as a society we have decided that the OnlyFans society is fine and decent and good.
00:16:16.000 It is not.
00:16:17.000 It is not fine and decent and good.
00:16:18.000 Pornography ought to disgust us because it is disgust-ing.
00:16:22.000 It should disgust us because it takes something that should be about commitment and love and turns it into something that is simply about rutting.
00:16:33.000 It takes something that is meaningful, but not because it is just a matter of consent, because it is a matter that has meaning attached to it and has throughout human history.
00:16:41.000 And pretending that people don't have emotions connected to sex is one of the most ridiculous aspects of the modern feminist movement and the modern secular left. 1.00
00:16:49.000 I mean, even Lily Phillips acknowledges this.
00:16:51.000 She says, I didn't even get to talk to the guys.
00:16:53.000 It's the most pathetic sort of expression of the problem.
00:16:56.000 But she's not wrong.
00:16:58.000 It turns out that both women and men, very often, you know, they actually want to know the person with whom they are having sex.
00:17:05.000 Because it means something beyond just pure consent.
00:17:07.000 A society that boils its morality down to consent alone is a society that doesn't even have the language to express why it's corrupting itself.
00:17:17.000 It's why we as a society have such trouble saying that by the way pornography is morally bad.
00:17:21.000 Saying that OnlyFans is a blight.
00:17:23.000 It is.
00:17:24.000 OnlyFans is a blight.
00:17:25.000 Young men are being destroyed by OnlyFans.
00:17:28.000 Young women are certainly being destroyed by OnlyFans.
00:17:31.000 And this should not be a matter of moral apathy in our society.
00:17:34.000 Again, I'm not talking about regulation or legislation.
00:17:37.000 Perhaps that's appropriate, but that's not even the question.
00:17:39.000 The question is, do we even have the moral language anymore to look at human behavior that ought to disgust us and say, it's okay to be disgusted by that behavior?
00:17:49.000 It's okay to look at things that violate the nature of what it means to be made in the sacred image of God and say, that's bad.
00:17:58.000 And I have an innate sense of being provoked by it into disgust.
00:18:03.000 It's okay.
00:18:04.000 We were made that way, and that's not a terrible thing.
00:18:07.000 Again, a society that loses any concept of the sacred and trades the sacred for the profane is a society that is not long for this world.
00:18:15.000 Because in the end, if we can't place certain principles above and beyond debate in the realm of the sacred, such as, for example, the value of human life.
00:18:22.000 If you cannot do that, then you're not going to have a society for very long.
00:18:28.000 All right.
00:18:29.000 Well, that brings us to the latest in this shooting of the United Healthcare CEO.
00:18:34.000 Now, again, you can have whatever arguments you want to have with regard to health insurance, which is a very, very complex topic.
00:18:42.000 This basic idea that people seem to have that if you remove the profit incentive from business, somehow the product, good or service gets more efficient and better.
00:18:51.000 Please name such a product, good or service in which this is the case.
00:18:55.000 Seriously, one.
00:18:56.000 I would love to hear one product, good, or service that has ever become more efficiently distributed, better, and higher quality by removing the profit margin and instead acting through pseudo-altruism.
00:19:08.000 That is not how human behavior works.
00:19:09.000 But, put aside whatever questions you have about healthcare for a second.
00:19:13.000 There is a sacred principle that we all have to hold by, and that is, murder is bad.
00:19:17.000 Why this should in any way be questioned is beyond me.
00:19:21.000 A society that can't even declare human life sacred enough that you don't get to shoot somebody because you don't like how the healthcare system works, that is not a society that is long for this world.
00:19:30.000 Well, the latest on this case is that despite all of the bizarre conspiratorial speculation that the shooter in this case, the alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione, that this person was not the person who was framed or that this was a put-up job by the government or such.
00:19:45.000 Well, the 3D-printed gun, according to CNN, that the killing suspect had when he was arrested this week in Pennsylvania matches three shell casings found at the crime scene in Midtown Manhattan, according to the New York Police Department commissioner.
00:19:56.000 Manjohn's fingerprints matched those investigators found on items near the scene of the December 4th assassination of the UnitedHealthcare chief.
00:20:04.000 Again, three 9mm shell casings from the crime scene had the words delay, deny, and depose written across them one word per bullet.
00:20:10.000 Police had been looking into the words, which titled a 2010 book critiquing the insurance industry, may point to a motive.
00:20:17.000 Well, it's pretty clear they do point to a motive at this point.
00:20:20.000 Meanwhile, the police say that the suspect's notebook described a rationale for the CEO's killing.
00:20:25.000 Quote, what do you do?
00:20:27.000 You whack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean counter convention.
00:20:30.000 It's targeted, precise, and doesn't risk innocence.
00:20:34.000 Okay, so, again, it's very obvious why this happened.
00:20:38.000 It's also bizarre how everybody is trying to fit this person into one political box or another.
00:20:44.000 Meaning, there's an attempt to fit this person into the sort of blue-collar, rising-up-against-the-system box.
00:20:53.000 That's not correct.
00:20:54.000 This person grew up incredibly rich.
00:20:55.000 His parents are incredibly rich.
00:20:57.000 Presumably, they could have helped pay for whatever back bills he had.
00:21:00.000 And the person he shot, Brian Thompson, actually grew up relatively poor and made his way to the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, whether you like what he did or not as the head of UnitedHealthcare.
00:21:10.000 Also, this person's politics were somewhat bizarrely heterodox.
00:21:14.000 As I say, existed in an online sphere that was sort of center-right, perhaps, in some contexts.
00:21:21.000 He quoted Tucker Carlson at one point.
00:21:24.000 He had quoted a wide variety of other sort of center-right accounts.
00:21:30.000 But then, about six months ago, it appears that he had some sort of mental break.
00:21:33.000 It appears that...
00:21:35.000 According to the contemporaneous accounts, he had a really bad back problem and that this led him to chronic pain, maybe to painkillers.
00:21:42.000 Many of the books he was exploring were talking about the use of psychedelics and all the rest of this.
00:21:46.000 So there's an attempt to paint him as some sort of Robin Hood type hero here.
00:21:50.000 According to the Washington Post, even when Luigi Mangione was surrounded with people who cared about him, he was isolated by a spinal defect that gave the athletic young man crippling pain and contributed to a jaundiced view of the American healthcare system.
00:22:03.000 On Reddit in April, Mangione foreshadowed that skepticism about the healthcare industry as he offered advice for getting a doctor to perform spinal surgery.
00:22:10.000 He wrote, We'll get some more on that in just a second.
00:22:30.000 First, let's talk about something that actually works.

00:24:30.000 Start personalizing your health with Lumen.
00:24:31.000 Lumen dot M-E. Okay, the reason that I bring up the question of whether human life is now considered sacred is because of the many people, mainly on the left but not entirely on the left, who seem to believe that the answer is at the very least qualified.
00:24:47.000 That somehow, violence can be justified in individual cases.
00:24:51.000 And this would be almost a textbook example of terrorism.
00:24:55.000 It is in fact terrorism when you are attempting to affect political change through murder this way.
00:25:00.000 There are a group of people on the left who seem to be kind of fine with that.
00:25:03.000 Elizabeth Warren is chief on that list.
00:25:05.000 Elizabeth Warren, she suggested, while appearing with Joy Reid, the least joyful joy there is, that violence may not be the answer, but, but, but, but, but, you can only push people so far.
00:25:17.000 We'll say it over and over.
00:25:18.000 Violence is never the answer.
00:25:19.000 This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth.
00:25:24.000 But you can only push people so far.
00:25:27.000 And then they start to take matters into their own hands.
00:25:31.000 It's a natural consequence, you see.
00:25:34.000 Well, it turns out that there are 100 million people, 200 million people in the United States who may not be happy with their health care.
00:25:38.000 And it turns out it is not a natural consequence that they go and shoot the head of UnitedHealthcare.
00:25:43.000 It is not indicative of your level of pain, that if you have more pain, you are therefore morally absolved from shooting people.
00:25:50.000 Because again, one of the principles we tend to hold sacred in a civilized society is you don't murder folks.
00:25:55.000 The fact that this has now been made a subject of political debate is rather sick.
00:25:59.000 It is a rather large problem.
00:26:01.000 We should be disgusted by murder.
00:26:04.000 Now, the question of what we do about the healthcare system is wildly complex.
00:26:07.000 Anybody who attempts to simplify it beyond the complex is lying to you.
00:26:11.000 That's particularly true of fools and leeches and complete pustules on the ass of society like Bernie Sanders.
00:26:17.000 So Bernie Sanders continues in the aftermath.
00:26:19.000 I mean, this would be like the second person Is healthcare a human right?
00:26:45.000 Should every American...
00:26:47.000 Be entitled to healthcare, whether they're rich or poor, young or old.
00:26:51.000 And you know what the American people say?
00:26:52.000 They say, yeah, we do believe that.
00:26:55.000 And yet you have, to your point, very few people in Congress, in the Democratic Party, in the Republican Party, who really say, you know, healthcare is a human right.
00:27:05.000 The function of healthcare should not be to make huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies, but to provide quality care to all people.
00:27:13.000 Now, you know what?
00:27:14.000 That's a hard thing to do for any country on Earth.
00:27:17.000 No system is perfect.
00:27:18.000 But we have got to establish the premise.
00:27:21.000 Health care is a human right, not just a commodity for large corporations to make money from.
00:27:27.000 OK, let's be clear about what he's saying here.
00:27:29.000 He is such a fool.
00:27:30.000 He's a fool logically.
00:27:32.000 He's a fool in terms of system building.
00:27:34.000 It's just foolish.
00:27:35.000 When he says healthcare is a human right, What he seems to mean by that is that healthcare descends from the clouds like rain on everyone.
00:27:43.000 That is not how rights work.
00:27:46.000 If I have a right to free speech, what that means is that you have a duty not to interfere with my free speech.
00:27:51.000 If I have a right to a house, now what you're declaring is that I have a right to demand from a construction worker that he build me a house, that people provide me the resources for that house.
00:28:00.000 That's a very different kind of thing.
00:28:02.000 Declaring something a right that is not, in fact...
00:28:05.000 Just what you would have in the absence of other human action.
00:28:09.000 If you declare that I'm owed something from someone else a right, if you do that, the natural consequence is that if someone denies you that thing, they are quote-unquote denying you that right.
00:28:22.000 Now, that is only problem number one with what he's saying.
00:28:24.000 He is also seeming to suggest, and he admits, that there's no perfect healthcare system.
00:28:28.000 But then he says the American healthcare system is about creating profits, as though, again, profits are somehow the dramatic enemy of efficiency, of efficacy, of research and development.
00:28:40.000 Okay, that's such a lie.
00:28:41.000 It's stupid.
00:28:42.000 If you nationalized healthcare today, healthcare across the United States, in terms of quality, would get worse.
00:28:48.000 It did in Britain. 0.77
00:28:49.000 It has pretty much everywhere it's been tried.
00:28:51.000 The most successful healthcare systems are largely privatized healthcare systems, whether you're talking about Switzerland or whether you're talking about Singapore.
00:28:57.000 But all that's irrelevant.
00:28:58.000 The bottom line is that what Bernie Sanders is actually doing is he is establishing a moral matrix in which anyone who opposes his agenda actually is in favor of death and thus deserves whatever is coming to them.
00:29:12.000 This kind of politics is wrong, it is bad, and it is ugly.
00:29:16.000 Alright, meanwhile, the Trump transition continues to go swimmingly for the president-elect.
00:29:21.000 President Trump has just been named the Time Person of the Year again.
00:29:24.000 This would be his second time as Time Person of the Year, which, of course, perfectly deserved.
00:29:29.000 I'm not sure who else it would be.
00:29:31.000 Apparently, the other people who are on the list were Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:29:35.000 She wasn't going to win, obviously.
00:29:36.000 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:29:39.000 Again, there's a case to be made, but when you're elected president of the United States for a second time after losing an election, that's pretty damned historic.
00:29:47.000 And the entire world shapes itself to your priorities.
00:29:51.000 Pretty amazing.
00:29:52.000 Elon Musk was named a possibility and Kate Middleton.
00:29:55.000 Okay, so again, big win for President Trump here.
00:30:00.000 I'm sure that that will be framed.
00:30:02.000 He called it a great honor back in 2016 and deemed Time Magazine a great magazine at the time.
00:30:07.000 This is reflective, by the way, of some of the poll numbers that have come out with regard to President Trump.
00:30:12.000 He is enjoying, for the first time, a real honeymoon.
00:30:15.000 So he really didn't get a honeymoon in 2016-2017 because too many people were so angry that he'd been elected in the first place.
00:30:21.000 But he has a honeymoon now.
00:30:23.000 Right now, in terms of dealing with the economy, 39% of Americans say they have a lot of confidence in President Trump dealing with the economy.
00:30:31.000 And it adds to that another 27% who say that they have some confidence for President Trump in dealing with the economy.
00:30:39.000 Adding up to 66% of the public, about, somewhere in that neighborhood.
00:30:43.000 Only 35% of the public suggests that they have no confidence in him.
00:30:49.000 Handling the war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:30:52.000 Full-on 63% of Americans say that they have a lot of confidence or some confidence in him handling the war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:31:00.000 When it comes to dealing with immigration policy, that number is 61%.
00:31:03.000 When it comes to providing real leadership for the country, the number is 59%.
00:31:08.000 Handling foreign affairs, 55%.
00:31:12.000 Even when it comes to things like using the power of the presidency responsibly, he has a 54% approval rating.
00:31:17.000 People saying they have a lot of confidence or some confidence in him.
00:31:20.000 This is a real polling honeymoon for the president-elect, and there's a reason for that.
00:31:24.000 It's because he's already the president.
00:31:25.000 Let's be real about this.
00:31:26.000 No one thinks of Joe Biden as the president of the United States.
00:31:29.000 No one.
00:31:30.000 Because his term was a waste of space, he set the world on fire, he lit 40-year highs in inflation, and he's still president, and he's dead, and everyone knows it.
00:31:38.000 Somewhere, Joe Biden is still wandering the earth like Bigfoot, a mythical creature, deemed humanoid, but nobody knows where he is, what he's doing, or why anyone considers him president anymore.
00:31:49.000 Meanwhile, the effects of the upcoming Trump administration are already taking effect.
00:31:54.000 Chris Wray, the FBI director, has decided that he is going to step down Again, that is not a giant shock considering that Ray was going to be fired anyway.
00:32:04.000 And yes, the president-elect will have the ability to fire whomever is the FBI director at that point.
00:32:09.000 The term is 10 years, but it's not a set term.
00:32:12.000 That's the maximum the FBI director is supposed to serve.
00:32:15.000 Of course, the FBI repeatedly investigated Trump, including by searching Mar-a-Lago for classified documents in 2022. President Trump responded by declaring the stepping down a great day for America.
00:32:30.000 Ray said, I've decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down.
00:32:35.000 This is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.
00:32:43.000 Meanwhile, again, the president-elect of the United States is quite happy to see him go.
00:32:48.000 Kash Patel is about to take over.
00:32:50.000 Kash Patel, of course, is going to go with a comb through the FBI and try and find members of the deep state who are so intent on thwarting President Trump's ambitions during Trump term number one.
00:33:03.000 So things are about to change pretty dramatically.
00:33:06.000 Meanwhile, many of the attempts to hit President Trump's nominee are just falling apart.
00:33:10.000 So, for example, Pete Hegseth He became the target of a supposed attempted scoop by ProPublica, which is a left-wing hack group, as Hegseth understandably writes.
00:33:22.000 He put out on X the following statement, quote, We understand that ProPublica, the left-wing hack group, is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999. Here's my letter of acceptance, signed by West Point Superintendent Lieutenant General Daniel Chrisman, U.S. Army.
00:33:38.000 Apparently, ProPublica said that they were not going to run the piece, Only because of what Hegseth had done.
00:33:46.000 So what happened is that West Point told the outlet on two occasions that Hegseth did not even apply to the academy, but then Hegseth's people sent ProPublica the acceptance letter.
00:33:54.000 So good thing he kept all of those letters.
00:33:56.000 If not, they probably would have published that false story, a story that was simply not the truth.
00:34:01.000 In just one second, we'll get to more developments from Trump World.

00:34:41.000 Okay, meanwhile, the Trump bump continues that is particularly true with regard to the economy.
00:34:45.000 According to Axios, confidence among America's top chief executives is soaring after President-elect Trump's re-election with high hopes the former president will usher in an era of low taxes and regulations.
00:34:55.000 Mainstream economists warn the economy will take a hit from some of Trump's proposals, but business leaders see a brighter outlook for their industries in the months ahead.
00:35:02.000 That, of course, is not a giant shock considering that Trump has been overtly pro-business throughout both of his terms.
00:35:07.000 That is particularly true now.
00:35:08.000 He announced just the other day that if you invest a billion dollars in the United States, he's going to expedite all of the regulatory approvals that are necessary in order to get that investment going.
00:35:17.000 Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, who chairs the Business Roundtable, said in a statement that top executives feel energized by Washington, set to consider measures that can protect and strengthen tax reform, enable a sensible regulatory environment, and drive investment and job creation.
00:35:29.000 Nearly 80% of the lobbying group's CEO members expect higher sales in the next six months.
00:35:35.000 That is a very large number.
00:35:38.000 Again, the reality is that Donald Trump is about to unlock the economy in dramatic ways.
00:35:44.000 Which is very good news for the country in general.
00:35:48.000 Other good news for the president.
00:35:49.000 John Thune now says that the tax cuts are going to go forward.
00:35:55.000 That the goal of the Senate Republicans is to get the tax cuts done.
00:36:00.000 It should basically just be a clean tax cut.
00:36:02.000 I don't think they should try to fuss around with extending the Donald Trump tax cuts or making them permanent.
00:36:06.000 You know, trying to add things to the bill is likely to fail.
00:36:09.000 It's likely to be a waste of time.
00:36:10.000 Instead, they should just go for what they've got, get it done.
00:36:13.000 The margin is too narrow in the Senate.
00:36:15.000 It is too narrow in the House.
00:36:16.000 And so that would be my hope.
00:36:18.000 I think that is most likely to happen.
00:36:20.000 At this moment, it's worth giving some credit to Kyrsten Sinema as well as Senator Joe Manchin, both independents who left the Democratic Party during the last several years.
00:36:29.000 They rejected a proposal by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer just before he leaves office to try and ram through a bunch of federal government nominees.
00:36:37.000 According to Politico, the Senate failed to end debate on a bid to extend the tenure of Lorne McFerrin at the National Labor Relations Board after drama on the Senate floor and a final decisive no vote from Joe Manchin.
00:36:48.000 Schumer was hoping to extend McFerrin's tenure at the NLRB to give Democrats effective control of the body into 2026, halfway through President Trump's term.
00:36:56.000 The floor stayed open at length, awaiting a decision from Manchin with the tally tied at 49. He then emerged and said no.
00:37:04.000 So did Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
00:37:06.000 Because I guess the bottom line for them is, why are we handing an extension of Joe Biden's power over to the NLRB when he's going to be leaving and Republicans are going to be taking the chamber?
00:37:14.000 So good for them, seriously.
00:37:16.000 That is a good thing.
00:37:17.000 Speaking of Democrats who have a decent head on their shoulder at this point, John Fetterman.
00:37:21.000 It's not just that he has a good head on his shoulder with regard to Israel.
00:37:24.000 He is also joining President Trump's social media platform and calling for a pardon in New York for Trump in his very first post.
00:37:33.000 So he suggested the Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both BS and pardons are appropriate.
00:37:38.000 So he's trying to justify what he's saying about Trump by appealing to the Hunter Biden case, but he is totally right about the Trump hush money case.
00:37:45.000 That one is a joke.
00:37:46.000 And Fetterman coming out and saying it, he is right about that, of course.
00:37:50.000 Meanwhile, Joe Biden, remember that guy?
00:37:52.000 He's still president.
00:37:53.000 Well, it turns out he's still wildly unpopular.
00:37:55.000 By polling data, only two in ten Americans approve of Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden.
00:38:01.000 And that is a terrible number.
00:38:03.000 That number, by the way, includes only 38% of Democrats.
00:38:06.000 Only 38% of Democrats approve of the Hunter Biden pardon, which is kind of amazing.
00:38:12.000 Joe Biden is leaving in infamy.
00:38:14.000 He should be leaving in infamy.
00:38:17.000 About 6 in 10 white adults disapprove of the pardon, compared with slightly less than half of Hispanic adults and 3 in 10 black adults.
00:38:24.000 Relatively large shares of black and Hispanic Americans, about 3 in 10, were neutral, however.
00:38:29.000 So, again, Joe Biden humiliating himself as per his usual arrangement.
00:38:34.000 Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is almost begging for a pardon for Hillary Clinton.
00:38:38.000 He is still afraid that perhaps the DOJ will be unleashed on his wife, titular wife, over her mishandling of classified materials.
00:38:47.000 Here was Bill Clinton yesterday saying it's a phony story, those deleted emails.
00:38:50.000 It wasn't, by the way.
00:38:53.000 Do you think it would be wise of President Biden to preemptively pardon any potential targets?
00:39:00.000 What about your wife, Hillary Clinton? 0.99
00:39:03.000 She apparently is on Kash Patel's list.
00:39:05.000 For what?
00:39:07.000 Yeah.
00:39:08.000 Well, they got a problem with her because first she didn't do anything wrong. 0.87
00:39:13.000 Of course.
00:39:14.000 Second, he followed the rules exactly as they were written.
00:39:18.000 Third, Trump's State Department found...
00:39:23.000 Remember how the emails were such a big issue in 2016?
00:39:27.000 Trump's State Department And then Bill Clinton goes on to say, well, maybe we should talk a preemptive pardon for Hillary. 0.99
00:39:53.000 Hell, why not?
00:39:54.000 I mean, if you're talking about people who corrupted the pardon process, Bill Clinton was first on that list.
00:39:59.000 If President Biden wanted to talk to me about that, I would talk to him about it.
00:40:03.000 But I don't think I should be giving public advice on the pardon power.
00:40:07.000 I think it's too...
00:40:09.000 It's a very personal thing.
00:40:11.000 The pardon power is a personal thing, according to Bill Clinton.
00:40:14.000 A lot of things were personal things when Bill Clinton was president.
00:40:17.000 Meanwhile, in other good news for Republicans and for the country in general, according to Corey Liu, the adjunct professor at the University of Texas School of Law, The Fifth Circuit has now held that the SEC, the Securities and Exchange Commission, acted unlawfully in approving a NASDAQ policy that forced corporate boards to implement an identity-based diversity quota looking at race, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity, or to provide a written explanation for why they failed to meet the quota.
00:40:42.000 This is like a real thing the SEC attempted to do.
00:40:45.000 They approved a NASDAQ policy that said that if you wish to be listed on the NASDAQ, you had to put forward a statement explaining why you didn't have more gay with people and women on your board or some such nonsense.
00:40:55.000 So the Fifth Circuit said that that is a violation of the law.
00:40:59.000 They suggested that this idea of a diversity mandate coming from the SEC is a joke, as it absolutely is.
00:41:06.000 Again, DEI is about to die a horrifying death, a well-deserved horrifying death under President Trump.
00:41:13.000 And guess what?
00:41:14.000 The American people are ready for it.
00:41:16.000 There's a brand new pullout from Manhattan Institute.
00:41:19.000 And it asks a simple question with regard to questions of quote-unquote racial equity.
00:41:23.000 Which approach do you prefer for addressing racial inequality?
00:41:26.000 Approach one, we should focus on creating a race-conscious society to repair the harms of the past by developing policies that benefit marginalized groups.
00:41:34.000 Or, option two, we should focus on creating a colorblind society where everyone is treated equally regardless of the color of their skin. 0.80
00:41:41.000 And so option one would be sort of the Black Lives Matter, Ibram X. Kendi idea that everybody should be super racially conscious and that we should redistribute outcomes based on race.
00:41:51.000 And number two is the MLK prospect that we should treat everybody individually without reference to skin color.
00:41:57.000 68% of Americans believe in colorblindness.
00:41:59.000 Only 21% of Americans actually believe in the Ibram X. Kendi version of society.
00:42:07.000 By the way, among black voters...
00:42:09.000 50% agree with the MLK proposal.
00:42:11.000 Just 37% agree with the WOCA proposal.
00:42:14.000 Even among Democrats in general, 56% believe in the race-blind proposition.
00:42:19.000 36% believe on creating a race-conscious society to repair the harms of the past by developing policies that benefit marginalized groups.
00:42:26.000 It just demonstrates the vast gap between the Democratic elites and the rest of the country, including their own Democratic base.
00:42:32.000 Pretty amazing stuff.
00:42:36.000 Again, the left has fundamentally misunderstood the American people.
00:42:40.000 They fundamentally misunderstand them.
00:42:41.000 And the American people are done with this trash.
00:42:43.000 They are done with it.
00:42:44.000 They are done with DEI. They are done with wokeness. 0.99
00:42:46.000 They are done with the idea that boys can be girls.
00:42:49.000 They are done with the basic idea that we are not allowed to live by traditional morality or believe traditionally moral things.
00:42:55.000 They're just done.
00:42:56.000 The American public have had enough of it.
00:42:58.000 They were promised that if they kept feeding the alligator slowly, eventually the alligator would give up.
00:43:03.000 And it turned out the American people kept feeding the alligator and then the alligator took a foot and then a leg and then a torso.
00:43:09.000 And now they're done.
00:43:11.000 They're finished with all of this.
00:43:12.000 The sea change is coming and not a moment too soon.
00:43:16.000 Not a moment.
00:43:17.000 Now, it's not going to go without a little bit of violence, obviously.
00:43:21.000 Just another indicator of where we stand in the country.
00:43:24.000 Two days ago, an Illinois man allegedly attacked South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace on the U.S. Capitol grounds over her views on trans-identifying men in women's spaces, according to Mace.
00:43:33.000 His Daily Wire report, unquote, She ended up wearing a sling into Congress. 1.00
00:43:49.000 Apparently, the Capitol Police told the Daily Wire they arrested a person accused of assaulting her on Tuesday evening.
00:43:54.000 That person was a 33-year-old trans rights advocate.
00:43:58.000 Apparently, this person reportedly went through security screening before entering the congressional buildings where the incident occurred.
00:44:04.000 Well, meanwhile, President Trump has basically proposed that we annex Canada, and I feel like they will greet us as liberators at this point because Justin Trudeau is just absolutely the worst.
00:44:12.000 So, Justin Trudeau...
00:44:14.000 Spent the day yesterday bashing Americans for not electing women.
00:44:18.000 I'd like to point out at this point that Canada, I believe, had one female prime minister who lasted something like six months.
00:44:24.000 Unless you count Justin Trudeau, who may, in fact, identify as a woman at this point.
00:44:27.000 This man is so unbelievably stupid and also probably Fidel Castro's kid.
00:44:31.000 A lot of people are angry at me because I don't believe in enough conspiracy theories.
00:44:34.000 That's my favorite one.
00:44:35.000 So I'm just going to put it out there to these Fidel Castro's kid.
00:44:38.000 Whether it's true or not, it's hilarious.
00:44:39.000 Anyway, here's Justin Trudeau bashing Americans for not electing Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris.
00:44:44.000 I'd almost forgotten Kamala Harris's name.
00:44:46.000 That's how quickly she passed from the National Congress.
00:44:49.000 It's amazing.
00:44:50.000 Here she was.
00:44:50.000 Here was she.
00:44:52.000 Here was Justin Trudeau yesterday.
00:44:54.000 It shouldn't be that way.
00:44:56.000 It wasn't supposed to be that way.
00:44:57.000 We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress.
00:45:04.000 And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president. 0.78
00:45:14.000 Everywhere, women's rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtly.
00:45:21.000 But I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist.
00:45:26.000 You will always have an ally in me and in my government.
00:45:29.000 Man, we will be greeted as liberators.
00:45:32.000 I want the tearing down of the Justin Trudeau statues.
00:45:34.000 They'll be flying American flags.
00:45:36.000 Donald Trump will roll in there with like three of his boys and just take over all of Canada.
00:45:40.000 If this is the quality of man that Canada has decided to make the prime minister, my goodness, Pierre Poliev can't come fast enough.
00:45:47.000 That is for damned sure.
00:45:49.000 I've noticed that the Canadians have become quite humorless about this. 1.00
00:45:51.000 So, for example, the Canadian Green Party leader, a person named Elizabeth Evans.
00:45:54.000 I noticed, by the way, Justin Trudeau not giving up his seat to her.
00:45:56.000 In any case, she says it is not fast.
00:45:58.000 Funny that Donald Trump is saying that we are going to annex Canada.
00:46:02.000 Not funny at all.
00:46:03.000 By the way, it isn't just Canada.
00:46:04.000 Don't worry.
00:46:05.000 It's also Greenland.
00:46:06.000 And why the hell not?
00:46:07.000 Let's expand the real estate holdings of the United States.
00:46:10.000 Here is the Green Party leader in Canada, which is a silly country. 1.00
00:46:15.000 I have to say, to the extent that this 51st state thing was a joke, it's not funny.
00:46:20.000 No, it's really funny.
00:46:21.000 And I find that pursuing it on social media makes me increasingly nervous.
00:46:27.000 Nervous?
00:46:29.000 We have to be very, very careful with the president-elect, and we have to pull together, I think, all opposition party leaders.
00:46:37.000 Premiers, all elements of the Canadian political establishment, such as we are, better pull together to make sure we don't create any cracks that allow Fox News or Mr. Trump's social media to exploit us and say things about Canada that aren't true.
00:46:52.000 No, no, no.
00:46:52.000 Everything we're saying about Canada is true.
00:46:54.000 It's a silly country that makes maple syrup hockey and annoying prime ministers. 1.00
00:46:59.000 By the way, it is funny.
00:47:00.000 I'm sorry.
00:47:01.000 I'm sorry you have no sense of humor, Green Party lady. 1.00
00:47:03.000 That is not a shock.
00:47:04.000 Of course, the lady from the Canadian Green Party.
00:47:06.000 She's a joke. 0.99
00:47:06.000 She wouldn't be able to tell a joke because she is one. 0.99
00:47:09.000 It's not funny.
00:47:09.000 Of course it's funny that Donald Trump called Justin Trudeau the governor of our 51st state.
00:47:14.000 That's hilarious.
00:47:15.000 I love it.
00:47:16.000 It's great.
00:47:17.000 And again, I'm not saying we should, you know, take...
00:47:19.000 I'm not saying Canadians should vote in American elections, God forbid, or something.
00:47:22.000 I mean, we can annex it and then just call it an outlying territory or something.
00:47:25.000 I mean, like Puerto Rico, but of the north.
00:47:27.000 Kind of into it.
00:47:29.000 All righty, folks, coming up, we'll get into Tony Blinken testifying before Congress and, of course, just being a representative of the worst administration in modern history.
