The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1351 - Students Protest As Their School Becomes Infested By Furries

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, students in Utah walked out of class in protest after their school became overrun by furries.

00:00:06.080 The media has been denying that any of this is really happening, but it's real and the full story is even more bizarre than you think.

00:00:11.280 Also, Joe Biden invented a story about his uncle being eaten by cannibals.

00:00:15.160 Unsurprisingly, he's now being accused of cultural insensitivity for making this story up.

00:00:19.620 And Republicans want to send billions more to Ukraine.

00:00:22.560 We must do this, says the speaker, because otherwise Putin will march on Europe.

00:00:26.040 And African migrants in New York attend a hearing to complain about the unsatisfactory accommodations.

00:00:31.140 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:50.760 Let's try to follow the winding contours of this rather bizarre story.

00:01:55.880 It begins earlier this week with students at Mount Nebo Middle School in Utah

00:02:00.160 staging a walkout in protest of all the furries that administrators have allowed to infest the school.

00:02:07.840 It began with a petition, which gained over 500 signatures in a few days,

00:02:11.180 calling for the school to start enforcing its dress codes and stop allowing students to come to class dressed in their furry costumes.

00:02:18.100 And then came the walkout.

00:02:19.280 Adam Bartholomew, who is a local commentator in Utah, captured footage of the event and of the kids outside the school,

00:02:25.900 talked to them and asked them what their complaints were.

00:02:27.680 And let's watch a little bit of that.

00:02:30.860 So are they wearing a mask every day?

00:02:32.760 Yes.

00:02:33.720 Yes.

00:02:34.240 But every time they go, they're always just wearing a mask.

00:02:37.440 But the principal finally stood up and banned those stuff.

00:02:40.900 But they still wear them every day.

00:02:42.560 Yeah, they don't get in trouble.

00:02:44.260 The principal doesn't make them get in trouble.

00:02:46.360 Yeah.

00:02:46.740 All the principal says is just be kind.

00:02:48.820 Be nice.

00:02:49.740 Be nice.

00:02:50.400 And then, what's the point of dressing up like a furry?

00:02:54.020 I don't know.

00:02:54.980 It's to get attention.

00:02:55.740 It's to get attention.

00:02:56.680 They think they're so cool that they want to be here.

00:02:59.340 It's to get a lot of attention.

00:03:00.180 I think they want attention.

00:03:01.220 So people can come at them and just look at them and think that they're so cool.

00:03:04.580 Okay.

00:03:05.220 Also, are you guys going to be in trouble for walking out of school today?

00:03:08.680 No.

00:03:08.960 Maybe.

00:03:09.900 If we go back on school grounds, we will get in trouble.

00:03:13.100 If we go back on school grounds, we will get in trouble.

00:03:13.700 If we go back on school grounds, we're not people like this is wrong.

00:03:15.360 We're okay if we stay here.

00:03:17.660 The furries are wrong.

00:03:21.240 This is wrong.

00:03:21.920 They should not be doing this.

00:03:22.780 Do your parents know you guys are out here?

00:03:24.180 Yes.

00:03:25.440 They attack us.

00:03:26.560 If they bite us and we just kick them, we get in trouble.

00:03:29.820 They attack us.

00:03:30.640 They attack us and we get in trouble.

00:03:32.400 How else do they attack you guys?

00:03:34.180 They either bite us, they scratch us, they bark at us.

00:03:37.640 They pounce on us.

00:03:38.780 And then they run on all boards and pounce on people.

00:03:43.540 So, the furries have gone feral, it seems.

00:03:48.420 They're biting and scratching and pouncing on people.

00:03:52.160 Some of the students have had enough of this behavior.

00:03:54.540 They want to go to school at a school, not at a petting zoo, and that's why they walked

00:03:59.020 out.

00:04:00.020 So, that's the story.

00:04:01.040 But then, the fact checkers leapt into action to throw cold water on this whole story,

00:04:06.380 or to try to do that, at least.

00:04:08.300 Here's the Salt Lake Tribune.

00:04:09.880 Fact check.

00:04:10.680 Nebo School District responds to claims about student protest over furries.

00:04:14.260 A district spokesperson said the protest seemed to be organized after a message sent to families

00:04:19.060 was misinterpreted.

00:04:21.800 Now, what kind of misinterpretation can lead these students to think that there are a bunch

00:04:26.060 of furries in school when there really aren't, supposedly?

00:04:29.420 Like, and what could you have said in an email that people would mistranslate as a reference

00:04:35.680 to furries?

00:04:36.940 Well, let's keep reading.

00:04:38.520 Quote, video of middle schoolers walking out of a Nebo School District school in Payson

00:04:43.300 on Wednesday quickly spread in conservative social media circles with posts claiming the

00:04:48.420 students were protesting because the district was allowing student furries to terrorize other

00:04:52.960 students.

00:04:53.860 Nebo School District spokesperson Seth Sorensen said that claim was false.

00:04:58.160 He also said that students at the middle school are not wearing full-body animal costumes

00:05:02.760 to class as furries, part of a subculture of people who sometimes dress up like animal

00:05:07.540 characters but act like humans, are known to do.

00:05:09.720 Dismissing the claim, Sorensen said the Wednesday protests seemed to be organized after a message

00:05:13.660 the school sent to families last week was misinterpreted.

00:05:16.680 The message was sent after a group of students had been targeting another group of students,

00:05:20.700 saying things that were overheard by others that the administrators felt were inappropriate

00:05:24.960 and shouldn't be said, Sorensen said.

00:05:27.120 The group of students being targeted, he added, were students who sometimes come to school

00:05:31.380 wearing headbands that may have ears on them.

00:05:35.040 He said he doesn't think the targeted students necessarily refer to themselves as furries.

00:05:39.880 So the spokesman says that there are no furries.

00:05:42.820 I guess the kids are lying or somehow confused.

00:05:46.780 There aren't any furries, but there might be some kids wearing animal ears to class for

00:05:51.660 whatever reason.

00:05:52.920 And those kids, he says, may or may not identify as furries.

00:05:56.200 It's all a big misunderstanding.

00:05:58.500 But then he goes on to admit that there have been altercations over people being,

00:06:02.740 dressing differently, quote unquote.

00:06:05.560 Back to the article, it says,

00:06:06.480 In one specific instance, the targeted students were sitting in a corner of the lunchroom,

00:06:10.160 eating as a group of friends, when others began calling them names and throwing food

00:06:14.020 at them because they were dressed differently, Sorensen told the Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday,

00:06:18.180 providing more details about the situation.

00:06:20.260 After word of the altercation spread, the school sent an initial message to families last Friday,

00:06:24.560 stating, quote,

00:06:25.780 We expect all students to be respectful towards each other while we are here at the school.

00:06:30.220 We hope you will treat others how you would like to be treated.

00:06:32.720 The message stated, outstanding behavior might demonstrate curiosity, understanding, patience,

00:06:38.520 and tolerance.

00:06:39.900 But Sorensen said that he thinks some parents misinterpreted the note,

00:06:42.660 incorrectly taking it as a message that the school was taking the side of a single group,

00:06:46.540 saying, we want you to be this kind of group, but they don't have to be kind to anybody else.

00:06:52.920 Nobody was taking the side of one group or another.

00:06:54.840 He said, what we were saying is everyone needs to treat everyone else with respect.

00:06:59.000 Okay, well, wait a second here.

00:07:01.720 He says that the school isn't taking the side of a single group, quote, unquote.

00:07:07.560 But what group are you talking about?

00:07:08.740 I thought that he said that there weren't any furries at the school, which group is he referring to?

00:07:14.000 I thought the group in question doesn't exist at the school.

00:07:17.400 So what's the fact check here?

00:07:19.800 Is he saying that there are furries at the school, but he's not taking their side?

00:07:23.960 Because that's a different kind of fact check.

00:07:25.660 Is he confirming that there are indeed kids coming to school dressed like animals?

00:07:30.880 This fact check and the dozens of others published by various outlets over the last couple of days

00:07:36.740 who have claimed this is all some right-wing conspiracy totally invented,

00:07:41.600 they've made it seem like the reports of furries were pure, unfounded rumor.

00:07:46.140 But that's not quite what you get from the spokesman's own words.

00:07:50.780 And then there's this, quote,

00:07:53.380 On Tuesday, the school sent another message to parents trying to clarify its original note.

00:07:57.720 We have had several parents reach out to us over the past few days regarding rumors

00:08:01.220 that are being spread about behaviors of a small group of students at our school.

00:08:05.440 We hope our efforts to clarify misconceptions should be sufficient,

00:08:08.860 but it seems we still have some misunderstandings.

00:08:11.100 The note went on to quote the Friday message

00:08:12.720 and concluded with an acknowledgement of rumored plans of a walkout protest on Wednesday.

00:08:16.700 Well, there's again a reference to this group of students who, according to the fact checkers, doesn't exist.

00:08:23.660 So how can a non-existent group of furries exhibit any behaviors at all, given that they don't exist?

00:08:29.480 Or do they?

00:08:31.100 And if they don't exist, then why do we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears

00:08:35.580 kids from that school on camera saying explicitly that their classmates are being permitted

00:08:41.000 to come to class dressed like animals and act like animals too?

00:08:46.700 Here's a video from a guy named Eric Mautzis with more insight from people who work at the school.

00:08:51.320 Listen to what he says.

00:08:53.240 Problem is a substitute teacher from Mount Nebo Middle School contact me and said,

00:08:56.840 this has been happening for over a year.

00:08:58.800 And this one is actually really sad and this person needs to be reprimanded.

00:09:02.460 Rebecca Hunsaker Barney said, this is the school I work at.

00:09:05.660 I'm embarrassed for the parents that just believed everything their kids told them,

00:09:08.880 then staged a protest without even contacting the school to find out what is really happening.

00:09:13.060 The truth is, is that a few kids dressed as pets stay to themselves.

00:09:17.720 They do not do any of these things these kids are reporting.

00:09:20.820 However, they are constantly picked on and bullied.

00:09:24.980 So the kids stay to themselves.

00:09:26.560 But what about the video I just got from a concerned parent where this girl acting like 1.00

00:09:30.360 a dog is going after these students?

00:09:32.540 This gets even better.

00:09:40.360 Honestly, we had the most wonderful, peaceful day yesterday because most of the troublemakers

00:09:44.700 were out protesting a lie.

00:09:47.920 Really?

00:09:48.700 Because that doesn't look like a lie.

00:09:52.080 The halls were quiet and actually cleaner without them there.

00:09:57.360 This is a teacher at the school.

00:10:00.000 So this teacher is supposed to look at these kids in the eye, unbiased, and give them grades.

00:10:07.160 Okay, well, that confirms it then.

00:10:09.080 You know, the furries being in school is not a rumor.

00:10:11.800 It's not misinformation.

00:10:13.460 And the left has been denying that this sort of thing is happening for years.

00:10:16.360 They've claimed that this is all the claims of furries at school and kids coming to school

00:10:19.820 dressed as animals.

00:10:21.120 They've been saying for years that this is a total right-wing myth, completely made up.

00:10:25.100 But here you have a teacher who is on the side of the furries, a teacher who doesn't

00:10:29.120 like the kids who were protesting, admitting publicly that, quote, a few kids dress as pets.

00:10:37.260 And she says that like it's completely normal, like she sees no problem with it, as if it's

00:10:42.840 normal childhood behavior.

00:10:44.180 I don't know about you, but when I went to school, we had precisely zero kids dressing

00:10:48.920 as pets at school.

00:10:50.780 Well, she acts like she doesn't have a problem with it, and she doesn't, and that is the 0.89

00:10:57.180 problem.

00:10:58.160 Now, look, we can have debates over dress codes and how strict they could be or should be,

00:11:02.640 but any halfway sane person should agree that the dress code should at least require that

00:11:09.220 every student dress like a human at a minimum.

00:11:14.180 Dressing as a pet is not something that a child of any age should be doing on a regular

00:11:19.260 basis.

00:11:20.460 Okay, if my four-year-old at home was dressing like an animal every day, I'd be a little

00:11:27.220 concerned even about that.

00:11:28.940 It's like, well, that's an unhealthy fixation for a child of any age.

00:11:34.020 But a middle school-aged child during school hours?

00:11:39.500 By the way, the same guy, Eric Mautzes, has also obtained these photos of kids at this school

00:11:44.560 dressed in their animal costumes, which you can see here.

00:11:47.860 So we've got some kind of velociraptor-lion hybrid thing, and then a bunch of variations

00:11:56.520 of cats, I guess.

00:11:57.340 I think I see another lizard or maybe there's a dinosaur back there.

00:12:00.420 Kids are dressing like this at school.

00:12:04.160 Coming to school in a full-on mask and just walking around the school.

00:12:09.800 Their parents are letting them leave the house in animal masks?

00:12:15.400 Well, this is happening.

00:12:16.920 It has not been debunked.

00:12:18.480 It is real.

00:12:19.160 It's a real thing.

00:12:20.640 But we have not yet gotten to the weirdest part of this story, somehow.

00:12:25.900 The local ABC affiliate decided to provide context by interviewing a furry in costume and

00:12:34.280 referring to the woman as her fictional character's name during this interview.

00:12:39.920 Watch.

00:12:41.600 This is Strudel, a member of the furry fandom.

00:12:45.360 Though they've been a furry for over a decade, they have their own opinions.

00:12:49.620 It's crazy that it's escalated to this point where these kids are being so distracting to

00:12:54.040 their peers that their peers want to stage a walkout.

00:12:56.460 To have, you know, the next generation kind of muddy our name and not represent it very 0.99

00:13:03.340 well, it is kind of disappointing.

00:13:05.320 Strudel believes there should be some limits.

00:13:08.120 Continue doing things you like.

00:13:09.900 Continue dressing up.

00:13:11.500 Continue making art.

00:13:13.120 But maybe let's keep it outside of school hours.

00:13:16.120 Yeah, she doesn't want these kids to muddy the name of furries. 1.00

00:13:23.420 They must not sully the reputation of the furries.

00:13:27.800 They shouldn't do anything that gives the public the impression that people who walk around in

00:13:31.560 animal costumes are, I don't know, weird, bizarre, deranged, mentally unbalanced.

00:13:38.260 That's according to Strudel, who the reporter refers to as Strudel, while also respecting

00:13:46.200 the non-binary pronouns of the fictional character that the woman in the costume is pretending to be.

00:13:53.200 Now, you may like to think that this, what you just saw there, is the media's low point.

00:13:57.840 That's as low as, it cannot get worse than that.

00:14:00.720 It has finally hit rock bottom.

00:14:03.240 It cannot possibly get any more embarrassing than that.

00:14:06.580 But unfortunately, you're wrong.

00:14:08.980 I mean, there is no bottom, I'm afraid.

00:14:10.440 Searching for the media's lowest point is like searching for the end of a black hole.

00:14:14.140 It just keeps going and going, and it gets darker and darker all the while.

00:14:19.640 Now, this, as many of us have warned for years, what you're seeing in this particular school,

00:14:26.020 and it's not the only school, by the way, is the result of emphasizing tolerance and acceptance

00:14:31.800 above all.

00:14:32.460 In fact, you heard it even in that email the school sent home.

00:14:34.720 The problem, as far as they're concerned, is not that kids are coming to school dressed

00:14:39.320 as animals, but that other kids are not sufficiently tolerant of it.

00:14:44.780 And this is the result of that.

00:14:46.280 And I don't say it's the end result.

00:14:47.700 It's not the final result.

00:14:48.860 As I said, there is no end.

00:14:50.600 There is no finality.

00:14:51.720 It can always get weirder and more disturbing.

00:14:53.860 But this is a result.

00:14:55.220 This is an inevitable stop along the way once you board the crazy train.

00:15:00.120 And when you start telling people, kids especially, that they can be whatever they want to be and

00:15:06.720 they can identify as whatever they want to identify as, of course some of them choose

00:15:11.300 to be animals, obviously.

00:15:13.880 And since you've elevated tolerance and personal expression, quote unquote, as the highest virtues,

00:15:19.040 you now have no way of telling these kids not to behave this way.

00:15:23.260 I mean, how can you?

00:15:25.660 They're expressing themselves.

00:15:27.420 They're being who they feel they are deep inside.

00:15:30.380 The school can't put a stop to this without backtracking on the entire woke program.

00:15:35.640 That's clearly how they see it.

00:15:37.820 And they're right.

00:15:39.980 There's an interesting segment from that ABC Affiliates written report on this same issue.

00:15:44.480 And the written, their article also quotes Strudel, by the way, and calls her that in the report.

00:15:51.140 But then it says this, according to WebMD, a furry is someone who has an interest in animals

00:15:57.640 with human qualities and who sometimes dresses up as a cartoon-like version of an animal.

00:16:03.720 Quote, I really like the idea of animals that walk and talk, so I'm going to dress up as one

00:16:08.360 as kind of a fun sort of cosplay thing, Strudel said.

00:16:13.040 WebMD said people are often interested in becoming furries to find a sense of community,

00:16:16.760 though some of the drawbacks they may face are negative stereotypes and social stigmas.

00:16:23.020 Now, I have no idea why WebMD is being consulted for furry information,

00:16:28.140 but in any event, it implies that the negative stereotypes and social stigmas

00:16:33.640 against this quote-unquote community are wrong.

00:16:36.520 But they aren't. 0.84

00:16:38.140 I mean, there should be a social stigma attached to walking around in a ridiculous costume.

00:16:43.140 It is normal for a person to treat such behavior as bizarre and antisocial,

00:16:48.520 because it is bizarre and antisocial behavior.

00:16:52.560 A lot of what we now refer to as bullying among children,

00:16:56.980 some of it is actually bullying,

00:16:59.020 but a lot of it is really just children acting normal

00:17:03.000 and responding to weird, unhealthy things in a way that conveys

00:17:07.820 that the things are weird and unhealthy.

00:17:09.880 The schools want to condition children out of that natural, normal response.

00:17:15.200 They want your child to treat the furry as normal,

00:17:19.340 and then after treating the furry as normal,

00:17:22.400 eventually to actually see this sort of behavior as normal,

00:17:26.200 and then eventually to become one himself,

00:17:29.040 or something just as or more bizarre.

00:17:32.460 That is the process.

00:17:33.940 That's the agenda.

00:17:34.660 And it's playing out at schools all across the country right now.

00:17:41.020 Let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:42.400 You know, here at The Daily Wire, we are big fans of entertainment content

00:17:50.980 that isn't trying to push a woke agenda into your living room. 0.97

00:17:53.640 That's why you need to go check out The Ballad of Davy Crockett,

00:17:56.300 a pro-America, pro-family, pro-God, PG-13 action adventure

00:17:59.980 that fathers and sons can watch together.

00:18:02.640 In historical fiction from the imagination of writer and director Derek Eslin Purvis,

00:18:06.760 the film explores some of the many myths that helped to create the legend of Davy Crockett.

00:18:10.280 The story begins in 1815, when Crockett's wife falls deathly ill,

00:18:13.860 leaving his young children to survive on their own.

00:18:16.860 The American legend must fight his way back to them

00:18:19.320 across the many perils found in the savage lands of the wild frontier.

00:18:23.140 This film examines the complex 200-year history of European settlers

00:18:26.220 and Native Americans living side by side as neighbors,

00:18:28.900 long before Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act.

00:18:31.820 It stands in direct opposition to the genocidal colonization story

00:18:34.960 that Hollywood loves to tell,

00:18:36.740 instead exposing the truth that these two groups traded with each other,

00:18:39.480 intermarried, and yes, sometimes fought, as humans do.

00:18:43.280 The Ballad of Davy Crockett is in select theaters

00:18:45.220 and available to buy or rent everywhere you buy movies.

00:18:48.060 If you want to support films that are decent, family-friendly,

00:18:51.040 and push back against Hollywood's anti-American agenda,

00:18:53.920 please support this small independent film.

00:19:00.640 Okay, so I was waiting for this.

00:19:02.860 Yesterday we heard Biden's story that his uncle

00:19:05.260 was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea

00:19:07.460 after being shot down during World War II.

00:19:11.640 Great story.

00:19:12.860 Great story.

00:19:13.680 Completely made up.

00:19:14.940 You know, almost certainly false.

00:19:17.120 But like everything else Biden says, false.

00:19:19.460 But also a good story.

00:19:20.900 I was waiting for the inevitable follow-up

00:19:23.300 where we hear from people who are very troubled

00:19:25.620 by this racist claim about cannibalism.

00:19:28.880 That's the part we knew was coming.

00:19:31.060 And now we have it.

00:19:32.900 This is from the Daily Mail.

00:19:34.600 Outraged Papua New Guinea academics 0.69

00:19:36.240 have slammed President Joe Biden

00:19:37.840 for his unacceptable suggestion

00:19:39.440 that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the country

00:19:42.000 after his plane was shot down during World War II.

00:19:44.660 Biden implied on two occasions Wednesday

00:19:46.260 that his maternal uncle was eaten by cannibals

00:19:48.160 in Papua New Guinea.

00:19:49.480 Okay.

00:19:51.200 Historically, cannibalism has been reported

00:19:53.500 in Papua New Guinea,

00:19:55.360 the Pacific nation that occupies the eastern half

00:19:57.440 of the island of New Guinea.

00:19:58.280 But local academics say that Biden's categorization

00:20:01.360 of the act is very offensive.

00:20:04.080 So they're not taking issue with,

00:20:06.280 like, yes, there was cannibalism,

00:20:08.000 but he's portraying the cannibalism

00:20:10.580 in a negative light.

00:20:12.000 He's making it sound bad,

00:20:14.480 like it's bad to eat people.

00:20:15.840 And that's the problem.

00:20:17.160 Michael Cabuni, a political science lecturer

00:20:19.180 at the University of Papua New Guinea,

00:20:20.580 told The Guardian,

00:20:21.940 cannibalism was previously practiced

00:20:23.440 by some communities in very specific contexts

00:20:26.340 and that locals, quote,

00:20:29.420 wouldn't just eat any white man 0.96

00:20:31.260 that fell from the sky.

00:20:33.220 Other analysts branded Biden's claims

00:20:35.000 as unsubstantiated and poorly judged,

00:20:37.180 especially during a time in which

00:20:38.220 the U.S. has been trying to strengthen

00:20:39.760 its ties with Papua New Guinea.

00:20:42.140 Outraged academics have slammed

00:20:43.500 President Joe Biden,

00:20:44.880 saying it's unacceptable.

00:20:46.200 Cabuni argued that the Melanesian people,

00:20:49.240 which includes those from Papua New Guinea,

00:20:51.340 are very proud and would be offended

00:20:53.440 by Biden's generalization of cannibalism.

00:20:56.380 He explained how cannibalism

00:20:57.580 was not practiced due to a lack of food,

00:20:59.580 but instead as a sign of respect

00:21:01.240 in very specific contexts,

00:21:03.360 such as eating a deceased relative's body

00:21:05.240 to prevent it from decomposing.

00:21:08.500 So I guess what we're getting from this

00:21:09.960 is if you ever go to Papua New Guinea,

00:21:11.380 make sure they don't respect you

00:21:13.300 because this is how,

00:21:14.380 this is bad news.

00:21:15.820 If you're in Papua New Guinea

00:21:16.440 and anyone ever says to you,

00:21:17.940 no, I really respect you.

00:21:18.880 That's bad.

00:21:20.600 Get out of there quick.

00:21:23.080 And I love this because,

00:21:24.680 you know, you think at first

00:21:25.960 that the Papua New Guinea academics

00:21:28.460 are going to deny

00:21:29.600 that people from Papua New Guinea

00:21:31.100 would ever engage in cannibalism.

00:21:33.320 But instead they're saying,

00:21:35.380 well, this is outrageous.

00:21:37.120 We aren't cannibals all the time.

00:21:40.380 We won't eat just anyone

00:21:42.200 who falls out of this.

00:21:43.080 We wouldn't have eaten Joe Biden's uncle. 0.95

00:21:45.720 Gross.

00:21:47.020 We have a much more discerning palate 0.92

00:21:48.860 than that.

00:21:50.180 We're very select.

00:21:51.360 We don't eat anyone

00:21:52.020 who falls out of the sky.

00:21:52.580 We eat some of the people

00:21:53.460 who fall out of the sky,

00:21:54.440 but we, you know,

00:21:55.120 we're selective about it.

00:21:58.080 We cannibalize because we love

00:22:01.300 is what they're saying.

00:22:05.120 And I love the,

00:22:06.780 I also love the suggestion that,

00:22:09.440 and in fact,

00:22:09.920 you hear this a lot

00:22:10.640 when this issue of cannibalism

00:22:12.720 and primitive tribes comes up.

00:22:14.320 what you'll hear is that,

00:22:15.800 well, it was totally different

00:22:17.080 because they weren't doing it

00:22:18.260 out of hunger.

00:22:19.900 But hold on a second.

00:22:21.000 Doesn't that make it worse?

00:22:23.120 Right?

00:22:23.800 You know,

00:22:24.540 if they were staving off starvation

00:22:27.860 and they turned to cannibalism,

00:22:30.280 I would still be opposed to that.

00:22:32.580 But isn't that,

00:22:34.260 ethically speaking,

00:22:35.320 arguably more justifiable

00:22:37.180 than doing it

00:22:38.240 when you're not even hungry?

00:22:40.260 Like, you know,

00:22:40.780 you're just doing it ritualistically.

00:22:42.480 You know,

00:22:44.040 this is not,

00:22:44.440 so this is not,

00:22:45.340 what is it,

00:22:46.400 the plane crash in the Andes

00:22:48.580 with a soccer team in the 70s

00:22:50.180 that resorted to cannibalism

00:22:51.640 because they were starving to death.

00:22:53.240 I would think

00:22:54.140 when you have that situation

00:22:55.980 compared to a situation

00:22:57.740 where primitive tribesmen

00:22:58.860 are eating people

00:23:00.180 and they're not even hungry,

00:23:01.560 like there's plenty of other,

00:23:02.480 they've got fish in the sea,

00:23:03.660 they've got plenty of fruits

00:23:05.240 and vegetables,

00:23:06.380 I would think that the latter case

00:23:08.240 is worse,

00:23:10.980 ethically speaking.

00:23:12.640 But this is a very awkward conversation

00:23:14.820 for these academics

00:23:16.020 and they don't like it

00:23:16.960 when it comes up

00:23:17.520 because one thing you notice

00:23:21.420 when you study the history

00:23:23.340 of first contact,

00:23:24.680 when you read the stories

00:23:26.260 of Westerners

00:23:27.460 encountering primitive tribes

00:23:29.080 around the world,

00:23:30.800 and I've read a lot

00:23:32.340 of these kinds of stories

00:23:33.340 from whether it's

00:23:34.980 the North American continent,

00:23:37.080 South American,

00:23:38.280 somewhere in the Pacific Islands,

00:23:39.740 Africa,

00:23:41.680 whatever,

00:23:42.360 one thing you notice

00:23:43.640 is that cannibalism

00:23:45.580 was actually extremely common

00:23:47.480 in these cultures.

00:23:49.240 Now,

00:23:50.420 I know for me,

00:23:51.080 growing up in school,

00:23:52.960 this is,

00:23:53.780 you know,

00:23:54.180 the reality of

00:23:55.360 these native cultures

00:23:58.160 wasn't,

00:23:58.920 we didn't go into,

00:23:59.500 they didn't go into much detail,

00:24:00.720 but they certainly made it sound

00:24:02.800 like this sort of thing

00:24:04.160 was very,

00:24:05.060 very uncommon,

00:24:05.840 it almost never happened,

00:24:06.760 but then you read about it,

00:24:08.540 you realize that,

00:24:09.040 no,

00:24:09.180 it's really common.

00:24:10.760 Cannibalism is a very common thing.

00:24:12.640 Human sacrifice,

00:24:13.820 very,

00:24:14.300 very common.

00:24:16.940 And Western explorers

00:24:18.620 were running into this

00:24:19.620 sort of barbarism

00:24:20.520 all the time.

00:24:22.440 Everywhere they went,

00:24:23.580 they were running into it.

00:24:25.100 And that's very awkward

00:24:26.080 for left-wing academics

00:24:27.920 and leftists in general.

00:24:31.340 It's a very awkward thing.

00:24:32.880 And it's awkward

00:24:33.600 because,

00:24:34.500 for a few reasons,

00:24:35.620 and one is that

00:24:36.600 it makes it a little bit harder

00:24:38.600 to mourn the loss

00:24:40.460 of some of these cultures,

00:24:42.840 to mourn the fact

00:24:44.280 that so many of them

00:24:45.380 were conquered.

00:24:46.460 It's a little bit harder

00:24:47.320 to mourn that

00:24:48.340 when you look at it

00:24:50.220 and you realize

00:24:50.980 that these were,

00:24:51.900 this was total barbarism

00:24:53.880 that was going on.

00:24:56.100 And,

00:24:56.700 but also it,

00:24:57.940 since we're talking

00:24:58.460 about context,

00:25:00.620 and you know,

00:25:00.900 when we discuss

00:25:03.100 these historical events

00:25:04.080 and historical people

00:25:05.040 and the,

00:25:06.580 especially the interactions

00:25:08.620 between Westerners

00:25:09.860 and these primitive tribes,

00:25:12.280 the academics

00:25:13.540 will always tell us,

00:25:14.620 well,

00:25:14.980 context is key.

00:25:16.280 We need context.

00:25:17.000 We need to have context.

00:25:18.100 We have to have context

00:25:19.080 for the cannibalism

00:25:20.760 that they were engaging in,

00:25:21.660 the human sacrifice.

00:25:23.760 Right?

00:25:23.880 If they were sacrificing

00:25:24.980 a child,

00:25:26.600 murdering a child 0.99

00:25:27.540 and ripping his heart out 1.00

00:25:28.920 and then eating it,

00:25:30.440 we need context to understand it.

00:25:32.860 Well,

00:25:32.980 they want context for that,

00:25:34.420 but they never want context

00:25:35.660 for the other side.

00:25:36.660 They never want any context

00:25:37.720 for the Europeans,

00:25:38.760 the Westerners,

00:25:39.520 and their behavior

00:25:40.600 and their responses.

00:25:41.780 We're not supposed to have

00:25:42.300 any context for that.

00:25:44.760 But,

00:25:45.440 what you see is that

00:25:46.460 there was context,

00:25:47.300 there is really important context.

00:25:49.880 Because,

00:25:50.860 even when Europeans 0.95

00:25:53.840 committed atrocities,

00:25:55.480 which sometimes they did.

00:25:58.500 Not often,

00:25:59.460 but sometimes they did.

00:26:01.440 Even in those circumstances,

00:26:02.580 you see that they were dealing

00:26:04.060 with truly savage

00:26:05.760 and shocking

00:26:06.840 and horrifying behavior.

00:26:08.820 I mean,

00:26:08.940 they were dealing with things

00:26:09.660 just out of a nightmare,

00:26:11.340 like hellish sights

00:26:13.140 these people were seeing.

00:26:14.920 You can't even imagine

00:26:16.260 what that must be like.

00:26:18.720 And,

00:26:19.160 that not only made them angry,

00:26:20.620 but it also led them

00:26:21.540 to the conclusion

00:26:22.280 that these people

00:26:24.180 were not exactly equal

00:26:26.040 to them

00:26:26.660 as Europeans.

00:26:28.680 And,

00:26:29.000 it's very,

00:26:29.340 again,

00:26:29.540 very easy for us

00:26:30.420 in the modern day

00:26:31.420 to say,

00:26:33.420 well,

00:26:33.520 that's unacceptable.

00:26:34.980 The universal equality

00:26:36.720 of man

00:26:37.220 is obvious.

00:26:38.900 Everyone should see it.

00:26:40.000 Actually,

00:26:40.300 it's not obvious.

00:26:41.900 You've been raised

00:26:43.380 with that doctrine,

00:26:45.200 so it's obvious to you.

00:26:47.180 But,

00:26:47.780 it is a doctrine

00:26:48.460 and it's a relatively

00:26:50.040 modern one.

00:26:51.460 Not relative,

00:26:52.020 it's a very modern doctrine.

00:26:54.160 And,

00:26:54.420 for most of human history,

00:26:55.480 it was not obvious

00:26:56.180 to anyone.

00:26:56.700 In fact,

00:26:56.960 it never even occurred

00:26:57.700 to anyone

00:26:58.160 for thousands of years

00:26:59.160 that all people

00:27:00.260 are equal

00:27:00.760 in some sort of

00:27:01.620 spiritual sense.

00:27:04.400 It just didn't occur

00:27:05.220 to anyone

00:27:05.520 from any culture.

00:27:06.460 They never would have

00:27:07.440 said that.

00:27:09.220 And,

00:27:09.640 so you've got

00:27:10.120 these Europeans

00:27:10.620 who,

00:27:11.000 they don't have that,

00:27:12.360 right?

00:27:12.600 They don't have that

00:27:13.140 framework that we all have.

00:27:14.080 We're all born

00:27:14.680 and we're told from birth

00:27:15.600 everyone's equal.

00:27:17.180 Well,

00:27:17.920 these Europeans were not,

00:27:19.440 they were not told that.

00:27:20.240 They didn't have

00:27:20.920 that framework

00:27:21.480 any more than,

00:27:22.300 any more than

00:27:22.780 these other cultures did.

00:27:24.440 And so they're going

00:27:25.000 around the world

00:27:25.520 and they pull up,

00:27:27.240 they land on some

00:27:28.520 foreign shore

00:27:30.260 and they see

00:27:32.080 naked people

00:27:32.880 run out of the forest

00:27:33.840 engaging in ritualistic

00:27:36.260 cannibalism

00:27:37.120 and human sacrifice.

00:27:40.100 Is it really hard

00:27:41.260 to understand

00:27:41.920 from their perspective

00:27:42.960 200 years ago

00:27:44.020 or 300 years ago

00:27:44.860 or longer?

00:27:45.640 Is it really hard

00:27:47.260 to understand

00:27:47.760 why they might

00:27:48.520 have had trouble

00:27:49.300 recognizing

00:27:50.020 the universal equality

00:27:51.960 of man

00:27:52.660 in those circumstances?

00:27:53.560 Is it really

00:27:54.500 that difficult

00:27:55.180 in context?

00:27:56.800 And if we can give

00:27:57.580 context to actual

00:27:58.860 cannibalistic acts

00:28:00.300 and acts of

00:28:01.700 pure savagery

00:28:03.900 and butchery,

00:28:04.640 if we can give

00:28:05.400 context to that,

00:28:06.160 then why can't we

00:28:06.800 give context to this?

00:28:07.700 Has always been

00:28:08.540 my question.

00:28:11.520 Anyway,

00:28:12.060 but still,

00:28:12.660 Joe Biden made

00:28:13.220 all that up,

00:28:13.640 so that was

00:28:14.720 originally the topic

00:28:16.360 I ventured away

00:28:18.060 from a little bit.

00:28:19.160 Okay,

00:28:19.400 CBS News reports

00:28:21.240 Washington,

00:28:22.560 House Republicans'

00:28:23.520 leadership on Wednesday

00:28:24.740 unveiled a legislative

00:28:25.620 text for three bills

00:28:27.080 that are part of

00:28:28.480 a complicated plan

00:28:29.440 by Speaker Mike Johnson

00:28:30.500 to get aid

00:28:31.280 to U.S. allies

00:28:32.340 while addressing

00:28:32.880 concerns from conservatives.

00:28:35.000 The three bills

00:28:35.660 would provide

00:28:36.100 $26.4 billion

00:28:37.420 to support Israel,

00:28:38.880 $60.8 billion

00:28:40.320 to bolster Ukraine,

00:28:42.260 and $8.1 billion

00:28:43.380 to counter China 0.81

00:28:44.380 and the Indo-Pacific,

00:28:45.660 including billions

00:28:46.400 for Taiwan.

00:28:48.020 The Israel bill

00:28:48.500 also includes

00:28:49.080 more than $9.1 billion

00:28:50.260 to address

00:28:50.980 humanitarian needs,

00:28:52.240 which Democrats

00:28:52.840 said was necessary

00:28:53.720 for their support.

00:28:58.000 So this is

00:28:58.800 the aid package

00:29:02.720 that they've come up with.

00:29:04.760 And do you remember

00:29:05.840 back when Republicans

00:29:06.840 kicked Kevin McCarthy

00:29:08.000 to the curb?

00:29:09.400 And I said at the time

00:29:11.440 on this show

00:29:12.060 that this was probably...

00:29:14.360 Now,

00:29:14.860 when it was initially announced,

00:29:16.100 I didn't know anything

00:29:16.640 about Mike Johnson.

00:29:18.140 Most people didn't.

00:29:20.440 But very quickly,

00:29:21.600 you start learning about him,

00:29:22.540 and once I learned

00:29:23.020 a little bit about him,

00:29:23.900 I said that,

00:29:24.880 well, this is probably

00:29:25.920 at best a lateral move,

00:29:27.520 and there's no reason

00:29:29.220 to think that this guy

00:29:30.100 is any better.

00:29:32.500 And, well, here you go.

00:29:33.640 I mean, Exhibit A.

00:29:35.140 Actually, this is not Exhibit A.

00:29:36.200 There have been

00:29:37.080 many other exhibits.

00:29:38.100 There were exhibits

00:29:38.580 back before he even

00:29:39.500 became Speaker,

00:29:40.560 way before.

00:29:41.760 As I showed you at the time,

00:29:42.840 Mike Johnson was going around

00:29:43.940 on left-wing outlets

00:29:44.920 back in 2020

00:29:45.740 during the Floyd riots.

00:29:47.680 He was going around

00:29:48.460 on left-wing outlets

00:29:49.460 crying about how

00:29:50.900 Floyd was murdered, okay?

00:29:53.040 And that's all we really

00:29:54.360 need to know about him

00:29:55.100 right there.

00:29:55.700 That told us the whole story.

00:29:58.640 And as for the particulars

00:29:59.840 here of this

00:30:00.320 foreign aid package,

00:30:01.520 well, you already know

00:30:02.480 that I oppose

00:30:03.200 foreign aid.

00:30:04.600 That's always been my view.

00:30:06.200 It certainly still is,

00:30:09.160 totally and completely.

00:30:10.120 And the idea that we'd even

00:30:11.460 be having a conversation

00:30:12.580 about foreign aid

00:30:13.520 while our own border

00:30:14.860 is wide open

00:30:15.720 and our people

00:30:17.000 are being murdered

00:30:17.680 by criminals

00:30:18.780 coming across our border,

00:30:21.520 like the idea

00:30:22.040 that we would be talking

00:30:23.560 about foreign aid at all 0.53

00:30:24.400 is just repugnant.

00:30:26.940 And as far as Ukraine, 0.92

00:30:29.580 I mean,

00:30:30.160 I have the same questions

00:30:32.300 I've always had,

00:30:32.860 which is what do we get

00:30:33.540 out of this?

00:30:34.780 Why are we still doing this?

00:30:36.500 What actual interest

00:30:37.680 do we have

00:30:38.240 in this conflict?

00:30:40.620 At this point,

00:30:41.720 two years in,

00:30:42.560 what do we gain from this?

00:30:44.500 Why don't we just

00:30:45.240 back away

00:30:45.760 and let things work out

00:30:46.740 however they're going

00:30:47.200 to work out?

00:30:48.780 What's the worst case

00:30:49.760 scenario for us?

00:30:52.580 Well,

00:30:52.900 Speaker Johnson

00:30:53.380 was on CNN

00:30:54.000 with Jake Tapper

00:30:54.700 and he tried to

00:30:56.080 explain that.

00:30:57.640 Let's listen.

00:30:58.060 I understand what you're

00:31:00.340 doing,

00:31:00.620 breaking up these

00:31:01.140 foreign aid packages,

00:31:02.140 Ukraine,

00:31:02.520 Taiwan,

00:31:03.000 Israel,

00:31:03.320 letting the House

00:31:03.860 work its will

00:31:04.480 and then sending over

00:31:05.320 to the Senate

00:31:05.800 into one bill,

00:31:06.860 whatever passes.

00:31:08.160 Why didn't you do

00:31:08.880 this months ago?

00:31:09.600 I mean,

00:31:09.800 Ukraine is desperate

00:31:10.800 for aid.

00:31:11.860 Yeah,

00:31:12.060 they are.

00:31:12.540 Well,

00:31:12.660 it takes a long time

00:31:13.560 to socialize

00:31:14.240 and build consensus

00:31:14.980 when you have

00:31:15.740 the smallest majority

00:31:16.460 in U.S. history.

00:31:17.160 So that's part of it

00:31:17.860 and it's very practical

00:31:18.620 politics here.

00:31:19.840 But also,

00:31:20.380 we've had other big lifts

00:31:21.600 in this Congress.

00:31:22.720 As you know,

00:31:23.140 we had to get the

00:31:23.680 government appropriations

00:31:24.900 bills done

00:31:25.460 and then we had to do

00:31:26.200 the renewal of the

00:31:27.180 Foreign Intelligence

00:31:27.740 Surveillance Act

00:31:28.520 and some pretty heavy

00:31:29.660 measures and it was

00:31:30.800 a lot to handle

00:31:31.880 at one time.

00:31:32.660 Look,

00:31:32.820 we know what the

00:31:33.300 timetable is.

00:31:34.080 We know the urgency

00:31:34.820 in Ukraine

00:31:35.300 and in Israel

00:31:36.080 and we are going to

00:31:37.020 stand by Israel,

00:31:38.520 our close ally

00:31:39.480 and dear friend

00:31:40.040 and we're going to

00:31:40.720 stand for freedom

00:31:41.440 and make sure

00:31:42.000 that Vladimir Putin

00:31:42.780 doesn't march

00:31:43.380 through Europe.

00:31:44.280 These are important

00:31:45.100 responsibilities.

00:31:46.020 A strong America

00:31:47.440 is good for the

00:31:48.660 entire world.

00:31:49.420 Since World War II,

00:31:50.520 really, really,

00:31:51.180 the responsibility

00:31:51.840 for the free world

00:31:53.920 has been shifted

00:31:54.540 onto our shoulders

00:31:55.360 and we accept that role.

00:31:56.640 We're an exceptional

00:31:57.260 nation.

00:31:58.140 We're the greatest nation

00:31:58.940 on the planet

00:31:59.840 and we have to act like it

00:32:00.840 and we have to project

00:32:01.680 to Putin and Xi

00:32:03.080 and Iran and North Korea

00:32:05.020 and anybody else

00:32:05.880 that we will defend freedom.

00:32:07.640 It doesn't mean

00:32:08.060 boots on the ground.

00:32:08.780 We're not the world's

00:32:09.380 policemen.

00:32:10.200 But we're going to do...

00:32:11.520 Wow.

00:32:13.060 Well, good job,

00:32:13.920 Republicans.

00:32:14.820 Good job again.

00:32:15.480 I can't say it enough.

00:32:16.740 Good job, 1.00

00:32:17.720 you damned morons, 1.00

00:32:19.300 you brainless jackasses, 1.00

00:32:24.080 you feckless dimwits. 1.00

00:32:25.860 Good job. 1.00

00:32:27.120 You made a big show

00:32:27.940 of kicking out

00:32:28.480 the old speaker

00:32:29.140 and you end up

00:32:29.840 with this.

00:32:32.000 At best,

00:32:33.200 at absolute best,

00:32:34.680 it's the same exact thing

00:32:35.640 you had before

00:32:36.120 and I think you can make

00:32:36.820 an argument

00:32:37.140 that he's worse. 0.99

00:32:39.060 So what the hell 0.94

00:32:39.760 was the point?

00:32:40.580 What was the point

00:32:41.320 of getting rid

00:32:41.840 of Kevin McCarthy

00:32:42.460 just to end up

00:32:44.080 with this?

00:32:45.580 And this is

00:32:46.080 like

00:32:46.940 everything wrong

00:32:49.640 with the Republican Party

00:32:50.800 and really

00:32:54.280 the conservative movement

00:32:55.360 more broadly

00:32:56.060 can be captured

00:32:57.680 in this story

00:33:00.200 where you had,

00:33:03.080 you know,

00:33:03.380 it's just like

00:33:03.980 we're just doing things.

00:33:05.240 There's no strategic

00:33:06.700 grand vision.

00:33:08.680 We're just doing things

00:33:10.100 and trying to capture

00:33:11.980 the headlines

00:33:12.560 for a single news cycle

00:33:13.800 with no concern

00:33:15.740 for how it might play out

00:33:17.440 down the road

00:33:18.060 and what it will lead to

00:33:19.280 and whether this

00:33:19.800 will actually advance

00:33:21.100 what should be

00:33:22.800 our agenda.

00:33:25.980 And perfect example

00:33:27.140 of that is,

00:33:28.200 well, 0.99

00:33:28.280 let's just kick

00:33:28.820 Kevin McCarthy out 0.93

00:33:29.700 and the people

00:33:31.260 who ask,

00:33:31.660 well,

00:33:31.720 who are we replacing him with?

00:33:33.520 Do we know

00:33:34.060 that this person

00:33:34.620 is going to be better?

00:33:35.140 Doesn't matter. 0.96

00:33:35.660 We need to get rid of him.

00:33:36.700 That doesn't matter.

00:33:38.420 What are you,

00:33:38.740 some kind of lib

00:33:39.320 to even ask that question?

00:33:41.580 No, 0.92

00:33:41.720 just get rid of him. 0.99

00:33:42.420 Just get rid of him 0.96

00:33:43.100 and okay,

00:33:43.760 what's the plan next?

00:33:44.580 Well,

00:33:44.700 we don't have a plan.

00:33:45.260 We'll just get rid of him

00:33:45.800 and see what happens.

00:33:48.500 The ability to be

00:33:49.800 strategic in the long term

00:33:52.400 is almost non-existent.

00:33:56.620 I mean,

00:33:57.240 you could probably count

00:33:58.600 on one hand

00:33:59.420 the number of people

00:34:00.680 on the right,

00:34:01.920 on the right generally.

00:34:03.080 I mean,

00:34:03.460 people publicly on the right.

00:34:05.800 So this is,

00:34:06.380 it's easy enough

00:34:06.840 to blame the Republican Party.

00:34:07.680 I mean,

00:34:08.420 on the right generally.

00:34:10.080 The number of people

00:34:11.260 who have shown

00:34:12.460 any capacity

00:34:13.660 to be strategic,

00:34:15.300 to be long,

00:34:16.280 to engage

00:34:17.400 in long term strategy.

00:34:19.860 It's very few.

00:34:24.100 And,

00:34:24.400 and that's of all

00:34:26.540 the public figures,

00:34:27.800 I mean.

00:34:28.140 what you normally get

00:34:35.920 from Republican politicians

00:34:39.140 and from the

00:34:41.480 conservative influencers

00:34:44.160 and hosts

00:34:45.100 and media figures

00:34:45.880 and so on,

00:34:46.620 what you usually get

00:34:48.140 is just

00:34:49.020 let's capture

00:34:51.120 the news cycle

00:34:51.820 for one news cycle.

00:34:53.040 Let's get a lot of attention.

00:34:54.120 and,

00:34:57.460 and that's

00:34:58.920 with,

00:34:59.400 with no plan

00:35:00.160 beyond that.

00:35:03.580 And this is how

00:35:04.360 we end up with,

00:35:05.040 with this.

00:35:05.520 I mean,

00:35:05.700 it's,

00:35:06.080 it's,

00:35:09.640 the word frustrating

00:35:10.900 does not even begin

00:35:11.920 to,

00:35:12.260 to describe it.

00:35:15.300 And

00:35:15.740 there are two things

00:35:18.040 that I think

00:35:18.660 that Mike Johnson

00:35:19.860 said there

00:35:20.260 that are just 0.99

00:35:20.740 aggressively asinine. 0.99

00:35:21.780 One is that 0.99

00:35:23.260 we have to stand

00:35:24.020 for freedom.

00:35:26.160 America does.

00:35:27.600 Now we're used

00:35:28.060 to hearing that,

00:35:28.740 right?

00:35:28.860 We've been hearing that

00:35:29.540 for 30 years or longer,

00:35:31.120 really.

00:35:31.920 Stand for freedom.

00:35:33.940 Well,

00:35:34.500 what does that mean?

00:35:35.740 In fact,

00:35:36.100 he says it's,

00:35:36.580 it's our burden.

00:35:37.980 Okay,

00:35:38.100 it's our burden

00:35:38.860 to bear.

00:35:39.780 The,

00:35:39.940 the,

00:35:40.180 the responsibility

00:35:41.080 for the freedom,

00:35:43.020 for freedom generally

00:35:44.440 across the globe

00:35:45.040 is,

00:35:45.740 is on us

00:35:46.680 as Americans.

00:35:47.660 Well,

00:35:48.060 what does that mean?

00:35:49.740 Like,

00:35:50.160 what does that actually mean?

00:35:52.740 And,

00:35:53.420 let's just start with,

00:35:55.540 well,

00:35:55.740 what do you mean freedom?

00:35:56.620 Like,

00:35:56.960 in what sense?

00:35:59.760 Okay,

00:36:00.200 like,

00:36:00.660 we,

00:36:00.760 we act like

00:36:01.780 that word alone

00:36:02.800 has some clear

00:36:04.220 objective meaning

00:36:05.420 when it simply

00:36:07.200 doesn't.

00:36:10.140 There are plenty

00:36:11.000 of words that we act,

00:36:12.240 that we,

00:36:12.660 we pretend are subjective

00:36:13.860 and ambiguous

00:36:14.720 but aren't.

00:36:17.120 But then there are words

00:36:17.720 that really are subjective

00:36:18.520 and pretty ambiguous

00:36:19.100 and one of them is free,

00:36:20.260 freedom.

00:36:21.420 Freedom.

00:36:22.000 In,

00:36:22.480 in what sense?

00:36:23.640 Freedom from who?

00:36:24.520 Freedom to do what?

00:36:25.940 Freedom to do what?

00:36:27.240 Exactly.

00:36:30.880 So,

00:36:31.460 what does that mean?

00:36:33.980 Why is that our job?

00:36:38.000 Why did we,

00:36:39.120 how have we inherited that?

00:36:42.400 And,

00:36:42.920 and let me ask you this,

00:36:44.140 Mike Johnson,

00:36:44.680 how many people

00:36:45.540 in the world right now

00:36:47.000 would you categorize

00:36:49.320 as free

00:36:50.320 by your standard,

00:36:52.340 whatever the hell

00:36:52.760 your standard is?

00:36:55.520 What are your standards?

00:36:56.520 Maybe you could tell us that.

00:36:57.400 You probably can't.

00:36:58.840 How many people

00:36:59.360 in the world right now

00:36:59.920 are free?

00:37:01.220 There are 8 billion people

00:37:02.260 on the earth.

00:37:03.600 How many are free?

00:37:05.020 Whatever that means for you.

00:37:06.720 Are there even a billion?

00:37:08.060 Are there even 1 billion

00:37:09.400 people

00:37:10.680 who are free

00:37:11.660 out of the,

00:37:12.160 out of the 8?

00:37:12.720 I doubt it.

00:37:16.580 Let's be very,

00:37:17.340 let's even be generous.

00:37:18.260 Let's be way too generous

00:37:19.360 and say that,

00:37:20.100 let's say that

00:37:20.600 by some definition

00:37:21.920 of the word freedom,

00:37:22.980 there are 2 billion people

00:37:24.140 on earth

00:37:24.480 who are experiencing

00:37:25.180 it right now.

00:37:26.240 Again,

00:37:26.520 I think that's

00:37:27.080 totally not true,

00:37:28.600 but that still leaves

00:37:30.560 6 billion

00:37:32.160 unfree people.

00:37:34.860 Are we supposed

00:37:35.600 to go to war

00:37:36.180 to free them all?

00:37:37.580 Are we supposed

00:37:38.360 to be in a constant

00:37:39.580 state of warfare

00:37:40.780 or funding wars

00:37:42.200 all the time

00:37:43.400 every single day

00:37:44.760 forever

00:37:45.500 for eternity

00:37:46.340 until everyone

00:37:47.960 in the world

00:37:48.360 is free

00:37:48.960 even though

00:37:49.940 nobody can even

00:37:50.900 explain what

00:37:51.820 that even means?

00:37:53.720 Is that the plan?

00:37:56.000 Are we supposed

00:37:56.740 to be just

00:37:57.080 in a constant

00:37:57.660 state of freeing

00:37:58.740 everybody from

00:37:59.400 everything all the time?

00:38:00.780 Well yeah,

00:38:01.100 that is the plan

00:38:01.600 I guess.

00:38:03.240 And how has

00:38:03.960 that worked out?

00:38:04.940 How has that

00:38:05.800 worked out so far?

00:38:06.880 We've been in the

00:38:07.440 Middle East

00:38:07.800 defending freedom

00:38:08.860 for 25 years.

00:38:10.840 How many

00:38:11.700 of the countries

00:38:13.900 that we have

00:38:14.560 spread freedom to

00:38:15.480 are actually

00:38:16.800 free right now

00:38:17.760 by any reasonable

00:38:20.280 definition of the term?

00:38:22.500 Iraq,

00:38:23.100 Afghanistan,

00:38:23.840 Syria,

00:38:24.380 Libya.

00:38:26.680 That bastion

00:38:27.740 of freedom

00:38:28.200 in Syria,

00:38:29.140 is that what

00:38:29.400 you're talking about?

00:38:30.600 How did our

00:38:31.280 freedom campaign

00:38:32.180 work out in those

00:38:32.840 countries, huh?

00:38:35.360 Like it turns out

00:38:36.320 that if people

00:38:36.800 want to be free

00:38:37.660 according to

00:38:38.200 whatever definition

00:38:38.900 they use

00:38:40.380 for that term,

00:38:42.260 if they want

00:38:43.760 to be free,

00:38:44.180 they need to

00:38:44.520 fight for it

00:38:45.040 and maintain

00:38:45.440 it themselves.

00:38:46.180 And if they

00:38:46.640 can't,

00:38:47.780 then they won't

00:38:48.360 be.

00:38:50.400 And the truth

00:38:51.120 really is that

00:38:51.840 every culture,

00:38:53.900 and again,

00:38:54.420 there are plenty

00:38:55.220 of times when

00:38:55.660 this argument of

00:38:56.280 well every culture

00:38:56.760 has their own

00:38:57.120 definition,

00:38:58.000 plenty of instances

00:38:58.840 where that argument

00:38:59.840 doesn't apply.

00:39:00.940 But in this case

00:39:02.060 it does.

00:39:03.140 Because every

00:39:03.860 culture really does

00:39:04.860 have their own

00:39:05.400 idea of what

00:39:06.060 freedom even is.

00:39:06.920 and by the way

00:39:08.160 there are plenty

00:39:08.880 of cultures that

00:39:09.420 don't value that

00:39:10.540 in the first place.

00:39:13.000 If you were to

00:39:13.700 talk about

00:39:14.480 freedom,

00:39:15.840 there are plenty

00:39:16.120 of cultures

00:39:16.580 especially historically

00:39:17.500 if you were to

00:39:17.980 go,

00:39:18.240 so how much

00:39:18.880 do you value

00:39:19.460 freedom?

00:39:20.000 They would look

00:39:20.320 at you,

00:39:20.940 they wouldn't

00:39:21.200 even understand

00:39:21.640 the question.

00:39:22.300 It's just that's

00:39:22.680 not part of

00:39:23.280 their language.

00:39:24.620 It's not a

00:39:24.880 priority.

00:39:26.880 Now that might

00:39:27.500 be confusing

00:39:28.140 for us,

00:39:30.300 but that's

00:39:31.280 just,

00:39:31.700 that's our

00:39:32.300 priorities.

00:39:34.420 And anyway,

00:39:34.820 it doesn't matter.

00:39:35.360 If that's

00:39:35.600 somebody's priority,

00:39:36.180 then they have

00:39:36.760 to fight

00:39:37.040 for it.

00:39:39.540 And then

00:39:40.120 Johnson also

00:39:40.660 says that we

00:39:41.280 have to

00:39:41.580 ensure that

00:39:42.180 Putin doesn't

00:39:42.820 march through

00:39:43.460 Europe.

00:39:45.880 Like he's

00:39:46.460 going to

00:39:46.640 invade all

00:39:47.380 of Europe

00:39:47.880 and it's

00:39:48.340 going to

00:39:48.520 be,

00:39:48.700 because,

00:39:48.940 you know,

00:39:49.300 and anytime

00:39:50.980 I've expressed

00:39:53.320 skepticism over

00:39:54.180 that claim,

00:39:55.120 and that was

00:39:55.480 the claim they

00:39:55.840 were making

00:39:56.100 two years

00:39:56.500 ago,

00:39:56.940 the fact that

00:39:57.940 they're still

00:39:58.500 making that

00:39:59.000 claim two

00:39:59.500 years later

00:40:00.140 is just 0.89

00:40:01.100 ridiculous, 0.98

00:40:02.320 but it was 0.99

00:40:02.700 ridiculous at the 0.92

00:40:03.220 time. 0.99

00:40:03.680 It was ridiculous

00:40:04.280 two years ago, 0.78

00:40:04.940 now it's just,

00:40:05.680 even more so,

00:40:07.860 but of course,

00:40:09.800 anytime I've

00:40:10.700 expressed skepticism

00:40:12.160 about that,

00:40:13.120 I'm always told,

00:40:14.280 well,

00:40:14.380 that's what people

00:40:14.680 said about

00:40:15.020 Hitler,

00:40:16.940 World War II

00:40:17.880 and Hitler. 0.69

00:40:18.540 Can I just

00:40:19.100 tell you something 1.00

00:40:19.580 for any moron 1.00

00:40:21.140 out there who 1.00

00:40:21.500 doesn't understand

00:40:21.900 this?

00:40:22.320 Not everything

00:40:23.060 in the world

00:40:23.640 is World War II,

00:40:24.620 okay?

00:40:25.040 World War II

00:40:25.700 was a particular

00:40:26.540 historical event,

00:40:28.160 Adolf Hitler 0.89

00:40:28.660 was a particular

00:40:29.400 historical figure

00:40:30.320 in a certain

00:40:31.560 historical context,

00:40:32.540 not everything

00:40:33.760 that happens

00:40:34.380 is analogous

00:40:35.220 to that.

00:40:36.120 Just because

00:40:37.000 it's the only

00:40:37.780 historical event

00:40:38.640 that you are

00:40:39.120 vaguely familiar

00:40:40.180 with,

00:40:40.700 it doesn't mean

00:40:41.540 that everything

00:40:42.200 that happens

00:40:42.860 is an analogy

00:40:43.780 to that,

00:40:44.940 okay?

00:40:46.700 Vladimir Putin

00:40:47.620 is not Hitler.

00:40:49.000 There's basically

00:40:50.560 no comparison

00:40:51.420 between the people

00:40:53.600 individually,

00:40:54.460 between the

00:40:54.900 historical circumstances,

00:40:56.440 nothing.

00:40:56.700 And the idea

00:40:58.760 that he's just

00:40:59.180 going to march

00:40:59.840 on Europe

00:41:00.380 at some point

00:41:01.160 and what,

00:41:04.180 take over

00:41:04.680 so that all

00:41:05.200 of Europe,

00:41:05.760 Western Europe

00:41:06.380 is going to be

00:41:06.680 Russia? 0.61

00:41:07.200 Is that really?

00:41:07.760 Really?

00:41:08.140 What are the chances

00:41:08.980 of that actually

00:41:09.600 happening?

00:41:10.720 Give me a

00:41:11.120 percentage point.

00:41:12.860 Let's say

00:41:13.200 the United States

00:41:13.660 pulls out

00:41:14.120 completely,

00:41:14.660 we pull our

00:41:15.260 money out,

00:41:15.600 we pull everything

00:41:16.060 out,

00:41:16.280 we're not

00:41:16.520 involved.

00:41:18.000 What do you

00:41:18.400 think the

00:41:18.880 percentage

00:41:19.460 chance is

00:41:20.480 that at some

00:41:21.660 point in the

00:41:22.680 near or even

00:41:24.000 distant future,

00:41:25.560 Europe is,

00:41:26.240 you look at

00:41:26.540 a map and

00:41:27.000 it just all

00:41:27.480 says Russia 0.86

00:41:28.160 across all

00:41:30.180 of Europe.

00:41:33.500 What are the

00:41:34.020 chances of that?

00:41:37.100 I think there

00:41:37.720 are people out 1.00

00:41:38.040 there stupid 1.00

00:41:38.420 enough to say, 1.00

00:41:38.980 oh, it's

00:41:39.160 probably like

00:41:39.580 a 75%

00:41:41.060 chance.

00:41:43.640 How about

00:41:44.120 like a

00:41:44.400 .0000000001%

00:41:50.520 chance?

00:41:51.060 Like, put it

00:41:51.580 right around

00:41:52.080 there somewhere.

00:41:55.060 I mean,

00:41:55.520 the chances

00:41:55.880 of that,

00:41:56.100 the only

00:41:57.180 reason I

00:41:57.440 can't say

00:41:57.700 it's 0%

00:41:58.160 chance is

00:41:58.560 because there's

00:41:58.960 a chance

00:41:59.240 anything could

00:41:59.600 happen,

00:41:59.880 and there's

00:42:00.060 a chance

00:42:00.320 the moon

00:42:00.980 could explode

00:42:01.580 tomorrow.

00:42:03.980 Our gaseous

00:42:04.940 moon that's

00:42:05.560 actually a

00:42:05.940 planet,

00:42:06.320 according to

00:42:06.600 Sheila Jackson

00:42:07.020 Lee,

00:42:07.160 could explode

00:42:07.600 tomorrow.

00:42:09.060 So anything

00:42:09.620 could happen,

00:42:10.120 but the

00:42:10.600 chances of

00:42:11.060 that are

00:42:11.400 exceedingly

00:42:12.540 low.

00:42:14.060 And even

00:42:15.740 if there is

00:42:16.340 some sort

00:42:16.840 of way

00:42:17.720 vanishingly

00:42:19.340 small chance

00:42:19.960 of that

00:42:20.120 happening,

00:42:20.880 can Europe

00:42:21.680 not defend

00:42:22.140 itself?

00:42:23.120 Can these

00:42:23.400 countries,

00:42:23.840 are they that

00:42:24.400 impotent that

00:42:24.980 they can't

00:42:25.320 even defend

00:42:25.680 themselves?

00:42:29.220 We were

00:42:29.920 hearing for

00:42:30.280 years that

00:42:30.720 Putin is

00:42:31.660 dying,

00:42:32.540 he's got

00:42:32.820 cancer,

00:42:33.440 he's old 0.57

00:42:34.620 and frail,

00:42:35.360 and that's

00:42:35.940 what they

00:42:36.060 were all

00:42:36.340 saying,

00:42:36.640 that's what

00:42:36.740 the media

00:42:37.000 was saying.

00:42:39.540 What?

00:42:40.020 And you

00:42:40.220 can't handle

00:42:40.740 this old

00:42:41.260 frail guy

00:42:42.160 dying of

00:42:42.600 cancer?

00:42:42.960 According to

00:42:43.280 you,

00:42:43.440 you can't

00:42:43.640 handle him?

00:42:46.360 They can't

00:42:46.880 even make up

00:42:47.200 their minds.

00:42:47.680 Like,

00:42:47.860 one minute

00:42:48.280 Putin is a

00:42:49.220 threat to the

00:42:50.140 safety and

00:42:50.620 security of the

00:42:51.100 entire globe,

00:42:51.680 the next

00:42:52.220 minute he's

00:42:52.660 an old

00:42:53.540 shriveled 1.00

00:42:53.860 old clown 0.99

00:42:54.480 that we 0.97

00:42:54.960 can laugh

00:42:55.380 at.

00:42:55.980 They can't

00:42:56.780 even make

00:42:57.100 up their

00:42:57.380 mind about

00:42:58.180 which piece

00:42:58.620 of propaganda

00:42:59.100 they're going

00:42:59.440 with,

00:42:59.640 so they

00:43:00.160 vacillate

00:43:00.880 between the

00:43:01.280 two.

00:43:03.080 I find it

00:43:03.980 all quite

00:43:05.680 repulsive.

00:43:07.300 All right,

00:43:08.040 finally,

00:43:08.760 I'll briefly

00:43:09.440 mention this,

00:43:10.480 Daily Beast

00:43:10.860 has this

00:43:11.160 report,

00:43:11.520 things got

00:43:11.900 physical when

00:43:12.420 a group of

00:43:12.760 climate

00:43:13.060 protesters

00:43:13.620 clashed with

00:43:14.340 other event

00:43:14.940 goers at

00:43:15.360 a gala

00:43:16.360 hosted by

00:43:17.120 Senator Lisa

00:43:17.720 Murkowski,

00:43:19.140 a Republican,

00:43:20.180 on Thursday.

00:43:20.800 Several

00:43:21.560 activists were

00:43:22.080 pushed off

00:43:22.560 stage and

00:43:23.000 fell on top

00:43:23.640 of one

00:43:23.880 another while

00:43:24.360 resisting

00:43:24.740 attempts by

00:43:25.240 the event

00:43:25.580 attendees to

00:43:26.360 remove them.

00:43:27.640 Murkowski was

00:43:28.060 giving a speech

00:43:28.640 at the Bryce

00:43:29.340 Harlow Foundation's

00:43:30.400 awards ceremony

00:43:31.080 when she was

00:43:31.880 suddenly interrupted

00:43:32.360 by about 10

00:43:32.980 to 12 climate

00:43:33.700 protesters who

00:43:34.440 rushed the

00:43:34.920 stage and

00:43:35.380 took over,

00:43:36.560 according to

00:43:36.900 a source.

00:43:39.320 Climate

00:43:39.780 Defiance is 0.53

00:43:40.640 the group,

00:43:42.040 and they were

00:43:42.620 the ones who

00:43:43.180 posted a video

00:43:44.460 of the scuffle

00:43:45.040 on social media.

00:43:46.360 Here's the

00:43:46.960 video.

00:43:50.800 Okay, and

00:44:03.380 that's, again,

00:44:04.600 that's climate

00:44:05.040 defiance, and

00:44:05.620 they posted

00:44:07.120 this caption,

00:44:09.300 it says,

00:44:10.300 Breaking.

00:44:11.520 We just

00:44:11.840 shut down a

00:44:12.520 gala honoring

00:44:13.340 U.S.

00:44:13.740 Senator Lisa

00:44:14.280 Murkowski.

00:44:15.180 Murkowski is a 1.00

00:44:16.020 murderer. 1.00

00:44:17.120 She incinerates 1.00

00:44:18.100 us to enrich 0.72

00:44:18.840 her cronies.

00:44:19.540 As Chevron's

00:44:20.840 top lobbyist

00:44:21.540 gave her an 0.92

00:44:22.040 award, we

00:44:23.180 stepped in and

00:44:24.180 stopped the

00:44:24.860 ceremony.

00:44:25.980 Respect us or

00:44:27.080 expect us.

00:44:30.520 Look, not a lot

00:44:31.660 to say here

00:44:32.200 other than

00:44:33.700 incinerates

00:44:35.360 us.

00:44:36.300 Okay, Lisa

00:44:37.380 Murkowski.

00:44:38.460 Lisa Murkowski

00:44:39.580 is incinerating 0.99

00:44:41.440 them. 0.98

00:44:42.640 Now, imagine

00:44:43.340 walking around

00:44:44.080 every day

00:44:44.760 believing that

00:44:45.700 you're being

00:44:46.180 incinerated. 0.99

00:44:47.000 you walk

00:44:48.540 outside on a

00:44:49.120 sunny day,

00:44:49.800 it's a little

00:44:50.420 bit warm,

00:44:51.220 and most

00:44:52.400 people are

00:44:52.740 saying, oh,

00:44:53.120 wow, it's

00:44:53.680 beautiful out

00:44:54.500 there today,

00:44:54.980 but you're

00:44:55.820 screaming in

00:44:56.600 pain.

00:44:56.840 I'm being 0.92

00:44:57.160 incinerated. 0.92

00:44:59.420 Like, dude,

00:44:59.980 it's 78

00:45:00.540 degrees.

00:45:01.140 Okay, calm

00:45:01.560 down.

00:45:01.860 I mean, you

00:45:02.180 know, I get a

00:45:03.060 little uncomfortable

00:45:03.460 with the hot 0.62

00:45:03.800 weather, too,

00:45:04.300 but let's just

00:45:06.440 turn it down a

00:45:07.280 few notches

00:45:07.660 here.

00:45:09.280 And, you

00:45:10.660 know, I kind

00:45:10.880 of go back and

00:45:11.420 forth on this

00:45:12.100 when I see

00:45:14.680 these climate

00:45:15.160 alarmists and

00:45:15.960 you listen to

00:45:17.760 their, you see

00:45:18.960 their antics and

00:45:19.620 you listen to

00:45:20.060 their screeching

00:45:21.960 and their

00:45:22.240 propaganda, and

00:45:24.520 you ask

00:45:24.900 yourself, is

00:45:25.580 this all

00:45:26.040 performance on

00:45:28.020 their part?

00:45:29.620 Is this part,

00:45:30.640 is this all

00:45:31.140 part of the

00:45:32.020 sort of theater

00:45:32.840 kid contagion

00:45:34.020 where you've

00:45:35.280 got a bunch

00:45:35.720 of just nerds

00:45:36.800 who like to,

00:45:38.240 for fun,

00:45:39.200 like to,

00:45:39.420 they lead

00:45:40.680 lives that

00:45:41.320 are so easy

00:45:42.260 and so

00:45:42.780 comfortable

00:45:43.280 and so,

00:45:45.660 you know,

00:45:46.700 devoid, really,

00:45:47.760 of any kind

00:45:48.420 of struggle

00:45:49.040 or obstacle,

00:45:50.300 everything is

00:45:50.940 provided for

00:45:51.600 them and has

00:45:52.040 been their

00:45:52.320 whole lives,

00:45:53.460 that they

00:45:53.980 just need to

00:45:54.820 pretend, they

00:45:55.380 need to pretend

00:45:55.920 like they're in

00:45:56.620 some sort of

00:45:57.120 great drama,

00:45:58.440 like their

00:45:58.980 lives are

00:45:59.820 being threatened.

00:46:03.080 So is it

00:46:03.900 that, is it

00:46:04.300 a performance,

00:46:04.880 or do these

00:46:05.480 people really

00:46:06.060 believe that

00:46:06.720 they are

00:46:07.020 currently being

00:46:08.080 slowly

00:46:09.120 roasted to

00:46:10.020 death, 0.99

00:46:10.600 as you

00:46:11.760 might be

00:46:12.120 if your

00:46:12.520 plane landed

00:46:13.540 in Papua New

00:46:14.080 Guinea,

00:46:14.860 are they

00:46:15.480 being slowly

00:46:16.180 roasted to

00:46:16.840 death by

00:46:17.800 the climate,

00:46:19.280 a climate

00:46:19.700 that we

00:46:19.960 have somehow

00:46:21.920 caused,

00:46:23.520 and that we

00:46:24.600 can cool

00:46:25.100 down by

00:46:25.740 passing some

00:46:26.380 laws and

00:46:27.360 some policies?

00:46:29.440 Do they

00:46:30.080 really believe

00:46:30.540 that?

00:46:31.920 And that's

00:46:32.600 the question,

00:46:33.180 and I think

00:46:33.680 there probably

00:46:35.160 isn't one

00:46:35.760 answer,

00:46:36.380 and the

00:46:36.820 answer probably

00:46:37.400 changes,

00:46:37.880 and it's

00:46:38.880 probably on

00:46:39.360 a spectrum

00:46:40.980 as these

00:46:41.520 same people

00:46:42.040 would probably

00:46:42.420 like to

00:46:42.720 say,

00:46:43.500 but I

00:46:43.900 generally

00:46:44.500 come back

00:46:44.840 to the

00:46:45.020 conclusion

00:46:45.340 that yes,

00:46:45.860 I think

00:46:46.100 this is

00:46:46.540 sincere.

00:46:48.020 There is

00:46:48.820 some

00:46:49.160 melodrama,

00:46:49.820 there is

00:46:50.020 some

00:46:50.160 performance

00:46:50.580 involved,

00:46:51.300 but the

00:46:52.680 more startling

00:46:54.140 and disturbing

00:46:54.780 possibility

00:46:56.520 is the one

00:46:57.320 that I think

00:46:57.640 is probably

00:46:58.560 true,

00:46:59.120 which is

00:46:59.360 that they

00:47:00.780 really do

00:47:01.340 think this.

00:47:02.880 They walk

00:47:04.120 around every

00:47:04.560 day thinking

00:47:05.160 that they're

00:47:06.500 being cooked

00:47:07.020 to death

00:47:07.740 by the

00:47:08.080 climate.

00:47:08.440 They're

00:47:08.540 going to 0.99

00:47:08.680 die at 0.98

00:47:08.940 any moment.

00:47:11.380 Which isn't

00:47:11.900 that shocking

00:47:12.320 when you

00:47:12.580 think that

00:47:12.860 this is

00:47:13.360 what kids

00:47:17.100 are told

00:47:17.500 from a

00:47:17.860 very young

00:47:18.260 age,

00:47:18.900 and they

00:47:21.680 believe it,

00:47:22.740 and then

00:47:23.340 they act

00:47:23.580 like this.

00:47:24.700 Well,

00:47:24.940 it's 2024,

00:47:25.680 and if you're

00:47:25.960 still spending

00:47:26.480 your money

00:47:26.820 with woke

00:47:27.260 companies,

00:47:28.220 cut it out.

00:47:28.700 There are

00:47:28.960 a lot of

00:47:29.440 great companies

00:47:29.900 out there

00:47:30.260 that aren't

00:47:30.700 shoving 0.99

00:47:30.960 diversity and

00:47:31.580 inclusion

00:47:31.840 initiatives

00:47:32.300 down the

00:47:32.660 throats 0.92

00:47:32.920 of their

00:47:33.180 employees or

00:47:33.760 their customers.

00:47:34.280 Maybe you're

00:47:35.320 already doing

00:47:35.800 business with

00:47:36.940 some of

00:47:37.180 these,

00:47:37.480 and that's

00:47:37.780 great.

00:47:38.200 Maybe you're

00:47:38.560 boycotting

00:47:39.040 companies who

00:47:39.620 have made

00:47:40.160 headlines by

00:47:40.900 acquiring the

00:47:41.560 latest trans

00:47:42.240 influencer as

00:47:42.900 their spokesperson.

00:47:44.040 That's even

00:47:44.440 better.

00:47:44.800 But have you

00:47:45.760 given much

00:47:46.160 thought to

00:47:46.660 where your

00:47:47.160 money is

00:47:47.500 currently

00:47:47.820 invested?

00:47:53.340 want,

00:47:54.120 even if that

00:47:54.540 means investing

00:47:55.120 in businesses

00:49:31.500 Now let's get

00:49:32.060 to our daily

00:49:32.500 cancellation.

00:49:39.200 In December

00:49:40.080 of 2021,

00:49:41.020 the governor

00:49:41.520 of New York,

00:49:42.100 Kathy Hochul,

00:49:43.100 issued what she

00:49:44.000 called a message

00:49:44.880 to the world.

00:49:46.120 And this was

00:49:46.660 somewhat unusual

00:49:47.560 because as the

00:49:48.440 governor of New York,

00:49:49.280 Kathy Hochul's job 0.97

00:49:50.120 is to deliver

00:49:50.620 messages to New

00:49:51.680 Yorkers.

00:49:52.760 But on this

00:49:53.160 occasion, she

00:49:53.700 decided to speak

00:49:54.460 to a much larger

00:49:55.340 audience.

00:49:55.740 And here's

00:49:56.400 what she said.

00:49:57.520 After reading

00:49:58.100 the poem from

00:49:58.980 the Statue of

00:49:59.400 Liberty,

00:49:59.940 quote,

00:50:00.780 send us your

00:50:01.260 people,

00:50:01.700 send us those

00:50:02.220 who need the

00:50:02.660 cloak of

00:50:03.080 comfort that we

00:50:03.760 can demonstrate

00:50:04.260 as New Yorkers

00:50:05.000 with big hearts

00:50:05.660 and open arms

00:50:06.260 and will provide

00:50:07.260 a safe haven.

00:50:08.260 We want people

00:50:08.700 to come here

00:50:09.180 despite where

00:50:09.940 they came from.

00:50:11.500 We'll not only

00:50:12.320 house you,

00:50:12.980 but we will

00:50:13.340 protect you.

00:50:14.460 Well, that's

00:50:15.520 what she said,

00:50:16.000 and what followed

00:50:16.680 is exactly what

00:50:17.340 you would expect.

00:50:18.040 More than 10,000

00:50:19.040 illegals started 0.99

00:50:19.720 pouring into New

00:50:20.400 York City every

00:50:21.520 month looking for

00:50:23.140 the cloak of

00:50:24.100 comfort that

00:50:24.780 Kathy Hochul

00:50:25.380 offered them.

00:50:26.660 They took her

00:50:27.220 up on that

00:50:27.680 offer.

00:50:28.720 And now, as I

00:50:29.500 mentioned before,

00:50:30.160 they're being

00:50:30.540 housed in schools

00:50:31.400 and airports and

00:50:32.240 furniture stores

00:50:33.240 because the

00:50:34.160 shelters, including

00:50:34.780 government subsidized

00:50:35.580 hotels, are

00:50:36.280 overrun.

00:50:37.940 Now, there's a very

00:50:39.000 well-rehearsed

00:50:39.840 deflection that you'll

00:50:40.760 hear from Hochul if

00:50:42.140 you bring any of this

00:50:42.900 up.

00:50:43.660 And this is a reply that

00:50:44.620 local news stations in

00:50:45.580 New York will parrot at

00:50:46.660 every opportunity since

00:50:47.840 effectively they work

00:50:49.160 for Kathy Hochul.

00:50:50.260 Watch.

00:50:50.560 Governor, I want to ask

00:50:52.980 you about one of the

00:50:53.680 many issues that New

00:50:54.780 Yorkers are facing in

00:50:55.620 the whole country is

00:50:56.300 the issue around

00:50:57.000 immigration.

00:50:57.440 So, governors across,

00:50:59.980 mayors across the

00:51:00.800 country, I should say,

00:51:01.860 are pleading for more

00:51:02.560 federal government

00:51:03.140 assistance.

00:51:04.060 New York alone had

00:51:04.840 178,000 migrants who

00:51:07.020 came into the state,

00:51:08.600 and there's been issues

00:51:09.200 around housing, schooling,

00:51:11.420 medicine for these

00:51:12.100 people, and it's draining

00:51:13.040 billions from city

00:51:14.200 budgets.

00:51:14.900 Now, Mayor Adams has

00:51:16.120 raised the idea of

00:51:17.260 changing sanctuary city

00:51:18.660 laws so that migrants 1.00

00:51:20.000 aren't flocking to

00:51:21.180 major cities.

00:51:22.420 Do you support this,

00:51:24.420 and what do you think

00:51:24.980 needs to be done to fix

00:51:26.020 this influx of

00:51:26.760 migration?

00:51:27.400 Well, first of all,

00:51:28.020 let's just say we are

00:51:28.820 a nation of immigrants.

00:51:29.940 I'm sitting here

00:51:30.960 because my grandparents

00:51:36.440 were teenagers in

00:51:37.980 Ireland leaving great

00:51:39.640 poverty.

00:51:40.440 Grandpa started as a

00:51:41.900 migrant farm worker

00:51:42.860 himself in South Dakota

00:51:44.120 in the wheat fields.

00:51:45.440 They were domestic

00:51:46.100 servants in Chicago until

00:51:47.520 they heard about the

00:51:48.160 promised land of

00:51:49.040 Buffalo, New York.

00:51:49.780 You could make steel

00:51:50.560 with your hands and get

00:51:51.340 a good-paying union

00:51:52.100 job, and that's what

00:51:53.380 changed my whole family's

00:51:54.540 history.

00:51:55.660 Those jobs are here in

00:51:57.080 the state of New York.

00:51:58.180 You have to ask.

00:51:59.840 Before we ask you some

00:52:01.200 really important questions,

00:52:02.680 I want to know if you

00:52:03.520 would like to do a

00:52:04.340 dentist commercial since

00:52:06.420 you are a governor of

00:52:07.540 New York State, maybe in

00:52:08.940 South Dakota.

00:52:10.520 Hmm.

00:52:11.920 The implication here is

00:52:13.220 that America is a nation

00:52:15.240 of immigrants who work

00:52:16.880 hard like Kathy Hochul's

00:52:18.260 Irish grandparents.

00:52:19.860 And whatever we do, we

00:52:21.040 shouldn't demonize people

00:52:22.480 who come here and want to

00:52:23.260 work hard.

00:52:23.800 We shouldn't point out

00:52:24.900 that we're importing the

00:52:26.420 dregs of society into our

00:52:27.640 country right now.

00:52:28.660 If you speak in

00:52:29.640 platitudes instead, then

00:52:30.820 you'll get applauded by the

00:52:31.860 audience of The View, and

00:52:32.900 you can keep your job

00:52:33.980 running New York into the

00:52:35.000 ground.

00:52:36.120 What's left unsaid here

00:52:37.420 is that there is, in fact,

00:52:38.740 a very definite difference

00:52:40.380 between the immigrants of

00:52:41.980 old and the new variety

00:52:44.060 that we're importing.

00:52:45.640 Aside from the fact that

00:52:46.620 these new entrants are all

00:52:47.980 breaking the law in the

00:52:49.140 most flagrant fashion

00:52:50.200 imaginable, but on top of

00:52:52.760 that, immigrants in the

00:52:54.940 old days would come here

00:52:56.920 with a spirit of gratitude

00:52:58.180 and humility, hoping to

00:52:59.600 build a life.

00:53:01.000 And in the process, they

00:53:02.060 helped to build the country

00:53:03.420 because they were coming

00:53:04.140 here at a time when the

00:53:05.120 country was not itself

00:53:06.220 completely built.

00:53:07.560 They did what Kathy Hochul's 0.74

00:53:09.080 grandparents did, which is

00:53:10.220 work hard.

00:53:10.720 But immigrants now are 1.00

00:53:14.560 coming to a country already

00:53:16.060 completely settled and

00:53:17.800 built.

00:53:18.860 These are not pioneers,

00:53:20.600 you know, going out west

00:53:21.800 into the wilderness to

00:53:22.780 establish settlements.

00:53:24.280 They're coming into

00:53:25.040 something that's already

00:53:25.840 been made, and they're

00:53:27.420 very clearly hoping to

00:53:28.480 benefit from it without

00:53:29.440 necessarily contributing

00:53:30.400 anything to it.

00:53:32.500 And that's one of the key

00:53:33.500 differences between the

00:53:34.320 old immigrants and the

00:53:35.340 people entering the country

00:53:36.180 right now.

00:53:37.100 And that difference was on

00:53:37.820 full display this week at

00:53:39.000 New York City's City Hall,

00:53:40.720 which for some reason

00:53:42.260 held a hearing on the

00:53:43.220 experiences of African

00:53:44.640 migrants in the city.

00:53:45.700 Essentially, this was a

00:53:47.000 hearing on the plight of

00:53:48.400 black illegals who come 1.00

00:53:49.960 into the city. 0.97

00:53:51.060 According to City Council

00:53:52.260 member Alex Avilis, who

00:53:53.940 organized the hearing,

00:53:55.140 it's important to

00:53:55.600 understand, quote, the

00:53:56.300 experiences of black

00:53:57.320 immigrants and to uproot 1.00

00:53:58.440 the anti-blackness that 0.79

00:53:59.760 plagues our system of care.

00:54:01.640 And this work requires a

00:54:02.900 city willing to fund our

00:54:04.300 short, mid, and long-term

00:54:05.700 needs.

00:54:06.940 Over a thousand people

00:54:07.780 showed up, most of them

00:54:08.680 recent arrivals from

00:54:09.700 West Africa.

00:54:10.720 Many of them were

00:54:11.540 apparently looking for

00:54:12.360 work permits, which they

00:54:13.600 thought would be handed

00:54:14.300 out.

00:54:15.480 And that's pretty funny

00:54:16.840 when you think about it.

00:54:17.500 These people come to this

00:54:18.380 country with absolutely no

00:54:19.460 regard for the law.

00:54:20.660 And the first thing they

00:54:21.300 hear is that Democrats are

00:54:22.820 holding a hearing.

00:54:24.100 And they immediately assume

00:54:25.300 that they're going to get

00:54:25.800 free stuff at the hearing.

00:54:26.980 That's the automatic

00:54:27.540 assumption right now for

00:54:28.940 these arrivals.

00:54:30.060 And they were shocked to

00:54:31.020 learn that actually, in this

00:54:32.780 one instance, they would not

00:54:33.820 be getting free stuff.

00:54:34.540 Instead, they'd be getting a

00:54:35.820 chance to complain and

00:54:37.400 whine for hours on end.

00:54:39.640 So that's what they did.

00:54:41.780 Here's a representative

00:54:42.800 complaint from one of

00:54:44.220 these people.

00:54:44.800 Listen.

00:54:44.940 But at the shelter, the food,

00:54:52.640 my kids cannot eat the food

00:54:54.180 at the shelter.

00:54:54.880 And on Ramadan time, we

00:55:05.880 couldn't eat because when you

00:55:07.440 come back for the breaks, the

00:55:09.500 food is no good at all.

00:55:13.420 Food's no good at all.

00:55:15.560 Wow, what a shame.

00:55:17.360 She goes on to complain about

00:55:18.500 a bunch of other things besides

00:55:19.640 the food for Ramadan.

00:55:20.700 She complains that she can't

00:55:22.320 find a school for her kid, as 0.81

00:55:24.120 well as the fact that she

00:55:24.780 apparently had to leave a

00:55:25.760 shelter after two months and

00:55:26.880 find another one.

00:55:28.080 Now, it's hard to listen to

00:55:29.200 any of it because the total

00:55:30.600 lack of gratitude and

00:55:32.240 humility is frankly

00:55:33.980 appalling.

00:55:35.620 These people are demanding

00:55:37.280 everything and not

00:55:38.920 necessarily offering

00:55:39.920 anything in return.

00:55:41.840 There was not a single

00:55:42.720 moment during this hearing

00:55:43.840 where these West Africans 0.96

00:55:45.260 told New York City how they

00:55:46.820 were excited to contribute to

00:55:47.980 the local economy.

00:55:49.400 They never said how grateful

00:55:50.420 they were to leave a country

00:55:51.580 where the GDP is about 70

00:55:53.640 times lower than it is in the

00:55:55.280 United States.

00:55:56.620 Instead, they're complaining

00:55:57.720 about the free cuisine

00:55:59.220 provided by the government.

00:56:01.660 They're upset about the

00:56:02.540 housing that they're not

00:56:03.680 paying for.

00:56:05.320 This is a city where many

00:56:06.440 young people, American

00:56:07.200 citizens, cannot afford 1.00

00:56:08.860 housing.

00:56:09.900 But New York City's City

00:56:11.140 Council is not concerned

00:56:12.700 about them.

00:56:13.160 So instead, we're treated to

00:56:14.260 even more whining.

00:56:15.040 At one point, these foreigners 1.00

00:56:16.640 complained about the lack of

00:56:17.980 adequate translation services.

00:56:19.740 They also berated New York 0.93

00:56:21.400 for being a racist hellhole 0.97

00:56:22.840 because the government 0.89

00:56:23.540 isn't providing them a

00:56:24.460 translator who understands

00:56:25.920 every dialect that they

00:56:27.160 speak.

00:56:28.240 They never explained why

00:56:29.300 they traveled thousands of

00:56:30.480 miles to live in this 0.98

00:56:31.540 racist hellhole in the 0.99

00:56:32.740 first place. 0.82

00:56:33.560 But they did make it clear

00:56:34.820 that they're not happy here

00:56:36.120 and it's not up to their

00:56:37.640 standards.

00:56:38.540 Watch.

00:56:41.200 This is shameful time in

00:56:43.060 New York history.

00:56:44.340 This city is not friendly

00:56:45.700 for all people.

00:56:46.880 It is anti-African and 0.99

00:56:48.520 xenophobic.

00:56:49.740 Cette ville n'est pas du tout

00:56:51.920 accueillante pour les

00:56:52.740 Africains. 0.56

00:56:53.780 Elle est raciste et xenophobe. 0.91

00:56:55.940 Only in the Congo, you have 1.00

00:56:57.040 like more than 500 languages.

00:57:00.300 Swahili is being spoken in

00:57:02.360 Burundi.

00:57:03.080 So I can't speak with

00:57:04.320 somebody from Burundi.

00:57:05.660 But I cannot speak Swahili

00:57:07.160 with somebody from Mauritania.

00:57:09.680 You understand?

00:57:10.500 In Europe, a Turkish don't 1.00

00:57:12.340 talk for a French.

00:57:13.600 A French don't talk for a 1.00

00:57:14.920 Spanish.

00:57:15.740 So why it is that you will

00:57:17.660 put everybody, everybody in

00:57:18.980 Africa in the same bag and

00:57:20.340 thinking that because they

00:57:21.780 speak Asanya, because they

00:57:23.020 speak Puel, everybody will

00:57:24.500 understand.

00:57:25.440 You see?

00:57:25.940 I told you Hakuna Matata, you

00:57:27.200 couldn't understand anything.

00:57:28.980 You see?

00:57:29.780 So that's what we need.

00:57:31.600 We need people that speak the

00:57:33.680 native language to teach to

00:57:35.480 those people.

00:57:37.220 That's what we're asking the

00:57:38.420 city and the city refuse to

00:57:40.260 accruement.

00:57:40.700 Okay, so leave.

00:57:42.860 So just, so leave.

00:57:45.120 This place is xenophobic. 0.98

00:57:46.640 It's racist. 0.98

00:57:47.340 It's horrible for us.

00:57:48.120 Okay, we'll leave.

00:57:48.780 Nobody asked you to come

00:57:49.520 here.

00:57:50.420 No one invited you.

00:57:51.260 No one asked you to come.

00:57:52.080 Certainly no one put a gun to

00:57:53.040 your head and told you to

00:57:53.720 come here.

00:57:54.040 We didn't force you to come.

00:57:55.580 So just leave then.

00:57:57.260 It's a pretty simple solution.

00:57:58.620 If you hate it so much, if

00:57:59.640 it's so terrible to you, why

00:58:02.020 are you here?

00:58:04.700 It's like someone barging into

00:58:06.140 your house and then sitting on

00:58:08.620 your couch and complaining 0.87

00:58:10.700 that the couch isn't

00:58:12.380 comfortable.

00:58:13.500 I don't like this.

00:58:14.240 This doesn't, this doesn't

00:58:15.100 quite, I don't, this is not my

00:58:16.200 favorite couch.

00:58:16.840 Okay.

00:58:17.740 Well, you weren't invited so

00:58:19.120 you can leave.

00:58:19.840 This is my couch, not yours.

00:58:21.220 Like go get your own couch.

00:58:22.300 I don't know.

00:58:24.220 Yes.

00:58:24.460 How dare New York City not

00:58:25.780 provide 500 different

00:58:27.440 translators for every dialect

00:58:28.940 spoken in just one African

00:58:30.580 country.

00:58:31.300 You know, in all there are,

00:58:32.120 there are something like 7,000

00:58:33.780 languages spoken in the whole

00:58:34.980 world.

00:58:35.580 And apparently New York is

00:58:37.940 supposed to have a

00:58:38.560 translator for every single

00:58:40.280 one of them.

00:58:41.340 If not, they're xenophobic.

00:58:43.540 This is the level of

00:58:44.560 entitlement that we're dealing

00:58:45.560 with.

00:58:46.460 And we're getting it from

00:58:47.360 people who are coming from

00:58:48.400 third world hell holes.

00:58:50.420 They come here from the 1.00

00:58:51.680 third world and then 0.87

00:58:52.640 immediately inherit a first

00:58:54.380 world sense of

00:58:55.120 entitlement.

00:58:55.620 It's, it's pretty

00:58:56.640 extraordinary really.

00:58:58.680 Now it goes without saying

00:58:59.480 that the Irish immigrants who

00:59:00.740 came to this country in the

00:59:01.560 19th century did not try to

00:59:03.500 pull any of this.

00:59:04.200 They didn't have an

00:59:04.960 opportunity to, even if they

00:59:06.040 wanted to.

00:59:07.220 No one would have indulged

00:59:08.500 any of this nonsense.

00:59:09.380 So they got to work.

00:59:11.240 They made the economic

00:59:12.300 contributions that Kathy

00:59:13.660 Hochul loves to brag about.

00:59:15.860 What's uncomfortable for

00:59:16.980 people like Kathy Hochul is

00:59:18.020 that the Irish endured a lot

00:59:19.400 of discrimination along the

00:59:20.680 way.

00:59:21.080 And leftists will claim that

00:59:23.040 they're determined to avoid a

00:59:24.460 similar situation unfolding

00:59:25.560 again.

00:59:26.280 But no discrimination is

00:59:27.520 necessary to fix what's

00:59:28.500 happening in New York.

00:59:29.280 All that's necessary is to

00:59:30.320 tell every single person who

00:59:31.280 comes to this country, 1.00

00:59:32.400 regardless of their

00:59:33.180 immutable characteristics,

00:59:34.060 that they need to do it

00:59:35.660 legally or get the hell

00:59:37.900 out.

00:59:38.940 And no matter how they get

00:59:40.240 here, there's no excuse for

00:59:42.040 whining for hours to the city

00:59:43.380 council about all the perks

00:59:44.440 they want to have.

00:59:46.740 The moment they do that,

00:59:47.640 they should be put on a boat

00:59:48.460 back to where they came from.

00:59:51.280 You know, if that's

00:59:51.860 discrimination, it's

00:59:52.660 discrimination that's based

00:59:53.580 on behavior, which any

00:59:55.340 functioning society must

00:59:56.520 embrace if it wants to

00:59:57.660 survive.

00:59:59.160 Now, as far as I can tell,

01:00:00.260 Vicki Palladino was one of

01:00:02.500 the only council members at

01:00:03.720 this hearing who spoke up

01:00:05.620 in any way against this

01:00:07.080 insanity.

01:00:08.120 At the same time, she didn't

01:00:09.040 really say anything close to

01:00:10.460 what was necessary, because

01:00:12.540 what was necessary, what

01:00:13.520 someone needed to say was

01:00:14.780 exactly what I just said,

01:00:15.780 which is, if you don't like

01:00:17.260 it, leave. 0.75

01:00:19.120 Okay, how about a thank you?

01:00:21.480 How about the first words out

01:00:22.500 of your mouth if you're going

01:00:23.200 to sit there in our country at

01:00:25.180 this hearing and we're

01:00:26.640 inviting you to come and

01:00:27.540 speak?

01:00:27.980 First words out of your mouth

01:00:28.980 should be, thank you.

01:00:30.720 Thank you for allowing me to

01:00:32.200 be here.

01:00:32.600 Thank you for providing all

01:00:33.520 the things that you have

01:00:34.200 provided.

01:00:36.420 So I would have loved for

01:00:37.380 someone to say that.

01:00:38.120 Of course, that wasn't going

01:00:38.620 to happen.

01:00:38.920 Instead, we got this.

01:00:40.800 Watch.

01:00:42.020 But I'd like to say this.

01:00:44.800 In listening to everybody

01:00:46.320 speak and making demands on

01:00:49.260 New York City to do more,

01:00:51.480 more, more, how much more

01:00:55.700 are we supposed to do?

01:00:57.740 How much more are we capable

01:01:01.940 of doing?

01:01:04.200 This system is so overworked

01:01:07.620 and overburdened.

01:01:10.340 We don't have the resources

01:01:12.740 that you need to get what you

01:01:15.920 need.

01:01:17.240 I mean, your testimonies move me

01:01:19.080 tremendously.

01:01:19.720 I don't want to see anybody

01:01:22.520 mistreated in any sort of way.

01:01:25.100 But I have to ask you, what

01:01:27.140 motivated you to come here

01:01:30.480 thinking the streets are paved

01:01:32.040 with gold?

01:01:33.140 They're not.

01:01:34.560 They're absolutely not.

01:01:35.980 And you're living through that.

01:01:38.440 Now, the answer to the question

01:01:39.840 of what made you come here is

01:01:40.960 pretty obvious.

01:01:41.560 The governor of the state begged

01:01:43.020 them to come.

01:01:44.240 The federal government suspended

01:01:45.580 the enforcement of immigration law

01:01:46.920 and promised them all kinds

01:01:48.080 of benefits, including work

01:01:49.140 permits and indefinite asylum.

01:01:52.260 And their country is incredibly

01:01:53.420 poor.

01:01:53.860 So, I mean, why wouldn't they

01:01:55.200 come here?

01:01:57.200 That's the thing.

01:01:57.840 I don't, as annoyed as I am

01:02:00.220 by the entitlement, by the lack

01:02:01.580 of gratitude, by how self-serving

01:02:04.580 it is, I understand self-serving.

01:02:06.340 I get it.

01:02:07.040 Any person understands that.

01:02:10.140 In fact, you know, coming here

01:02:13.040 is a rational choice.

01:02:15.120 You could argue they're the only

01:02:17.180 rational actors in this whole

01:02:18.420 scenario.

01:02:19.480 They have every incentive to

01:02:20.900 continue complaining because so

01:02:22.100 far it's worked out pretty well

01:02:23.160 for them.

01:02:23.520 If they complain, they get what

01:02:24.340 they want.

01:02:26.120 What's needed now is for New York,

01:02:28.040 New York's leaders, to tell these

01:02:29.660 West Africans that they're getting 1.00

01:02:31.600 nothing and then deport them if

01:02:34.900 they're here illegally.

01:02:37.580 But, of course, that will never

01:02:38.500 happen.

01:02:39.560 Kathy Hochul will never tell the

01:02:41.040 audience of The View that these

01:02:42.460 immigrants are nothing like her 1.00

01:02:43.760 grandfather, you know, and that 0.93

01:02:46.040 it's an entirely different

01:02:46.920 situation and that people who

01:02:48.720 come here illegally are, you 1.00

01:02:49.980 know, all that.

01:02:51.780 The audience would not clap like

01:02:53.280 seals if she did that, so she's

01:02:54.380 not going to say that.

01:02:56.280 So instead, they'll continue to

01:02:57.600 enjoy Kathy Hochul's cloak of

01:02:59.360 comfort, as she calls it, which 0.70

01:03:02.360 simply means indefinite access to

01:03:05.120 New York's ever-dwindling

01:03:06.320 treasury.

01:03:08.400 American citizens will continue to 1.00

01:03:09.960 flee New York.

01:03:10.800 And eventually, when New York's

01:03:13.220 treasury can't afford to give

01:03:14.760 these people anything more,

01:03:16.520 they'll spread out throughout the

01:03:17.500 country.

01:03:18.500 And that's already happening, of

01:03:19.320 course, but it will accelerate in a

01:03:20.580 major way once New York and the rest

01:03:21.940 of the country falls apart.

01:03:24.320 Because there's one basic common

01:03:25.800 sense truth here.

01:03:26.800 If you import the third world in 1.00

01:03:28.940 mass, you become the third world.

01:03:31.940 And once that happens, you won't be

01:03:34.720 in a position to take care of the

01:03:36.420 third world anymore.

01:03:37.360 And much more importantly, you won't

01:03:39.700 be in a position to take care of

01:03:41.020 yourself.

01:03:43.040 And that's why the migrants 1.00

01:03:44.500 complaining about their

01:03:45.720 accommodations at that hearing are

01:03:47.200 today canceled.

01:03:49.520 That'll do it for the show today and

01:03:50.540 this week.

01:03:51.740 Have a great weekend.

01:03:53.600 Talk to you on Monday.

01:03:54.560 Godspeed.

01:03:54.880 Godspeed.

01:03:56.520 Godspeed.

01:03:56.660 Godspeed.

01:03:57.580 Godspeed.

01:03:57.820 Godspeed.

01:03:59.300 Godspeed.

01:03:59.840 Godspeed.

01:04:01.520 Godspeed.

01:04:05.240 Godspeed.
