The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1692 - ＂America Only＂ Should Not Be Controversial, So Why Is It？

00:00:00.920 At Desjardins, we speak business.

00:00:03.860 We speak equipment modernization.

00:00:09.940 And we can talk all day about streamlining manufacturing processes.

00:00:14.240 Because at Desjardins Business, we speak the same language you do.

00:00:17.940 Business.

00:00:18.720 So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us.

00:00:23.440 And contact Desjardins today.

00:00:25.520 We'd love to talk business.

00:00:30.000 It's not just you.

00:00:33.100 News is moving faster than ever.

00:00:35.280 And I'm hoping that I can help you make sense of it all.

00:00:38.040 My name is Jamie Poisson and I host Canada's most popular daily news podcast.

00:00:42.400 It's called FrontBurner.

00:00:43.640 We break down one story each day and talk to the reporters, the politicians, and people at the heart of it.

00:00:49.260 Our goal is to help you stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

00:00:53.060 You can find and follow FrontBurner on Spotify.

00:01:00.000 What I think is happening here is that a certain subset of people identifying as conservatives, for whatever reason, don't want our leaders focusing on America.

00:01:07.780 And therefore, when someone suggests a change, when someone suggests focusing on America, they get very upset.

00:01:13.360 The only country that should matter to our leaders is America.

00:01:16.640 America only.

00:01:17.520 America is the only concern. 0.93

00:01:19.500 That looks to be about 20 people doing this Antifa aerobics protest class.

00:01:24.140 Here's a fun riddle.

00:01:24.960 How many showers total do you think this group has taken over the past month?

00:01:29.060 This is your last chance to win my personal lifetime membership.

00:01:58.240 Here's what you need to do.

00:01:59.220 Download the free Delaware Plus app on iOS or Android and then tap follow under my picture.

00:02:04.200 That's it.

00:02:04.840 Do that and you're entered to win.

00:02:06.220 I'll announce the winner Wednesday right here on the show.

00:02:10.220 We've been talking a lot recently about advancements in technology on the show and some of it is really concerning, to put it mildly.

00:02:18.960 There are threats to your information and safety everywhere when you go online.

00:02:22.240 But there is one thing you could do to protect yourself, and it's incredibly simple.

00:02:26.200 That is download ExpressVPN.

00:02:28.180 ExpressVPN is an app that routes all of your online activity through secure encrypted servers, which means data brokers can't see what you're doing online.

00:02:35.120 And if they can't see it, neither can their customers, whether that's government agencies or big tech companies trying to access those logs.

00:02:41.800 The thing about ExpressVPN is that none of your online activity gets a log in the first place.

00:02:45.320 Just in the past year alone, they've received over 400,000 data requests from tech companies and government agencies, but they did not hand over customer information one time.

00:02:53.820 That's because they have a strict zero logs policy.

00:02:56.940 They can't share your data because they don't have it to begin with.

00:03:00.040 As someone who spends hours online researching for my show, I rely on ExpressVPN to keep my data secure.

00:03:05.140 Whether I'm digging into sensitive topics, just browsing, I can't imagine doing research without that protection, especially when I have to connect to public Wi-Fi.

00:03:13.140 It's also really easy to use, just one click and you're protected.

00:03:15.860 Plus, it works on everything, your phone, tablet, smart TV, desktop, you name it, went up to 14 devices at once.

00:03:22.380 Right now, you get an extra four months when you use my special link.

00:03:26.460 Go to expressvpn.com slash Walsh, you get four extra months of ExpressVPN.

00:03:30.360 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash Walsh.

00:03:34.220 Now, you might think that when someone's in the business of talking about politics on a podcast for a living,

00:03:39.520 there's a natural temptation to make increasingly outrageous and controversial statements and a bid for attention.

00:03:46.660 After all, there's no built-in audience for a podcast, no matter how big or successful it may be.

00:03:51.320 Even Joe Rogan doesn't have a guaranteed audience.

00:03:54.320 Unlike CNN or MSNBC, no one is forced to listen to any particular podcast in an airport or senior living center or anything like that.

00:04:03.700 So, it's conventional wisdom in some circles that podcast hosts are naturally more extreme and unhinged than everyone else

00:04:12.380 because if the listeners don't hear something truly shocking or stunning, then they're going to tune out.

00:04:19.360 And, you know, there's some truth to that idea.

00:04:21.840 But the flip side of the coin is that these days, statements that are not shocking or stunning or even remotely provocative

00:04:28.580 are often still treated as such, which means that certain podcast hosts like yours truly

00:04:35.180 may earn a reputation as some kind of shock jock, even though they mostly just say pretty normal and sane sorts of things.

00:04:45.780 So, for example, last week on this show, I made probably one of the one of the safest and most straightforward statements

00:04:51.560 I've ever made in my entire career.

00:04:55.400 This is a statement that's basically a paraphrase of what the Founding Fathers said many times over.

00:05:01.480 For 99% of this country's history, no one would have batted an eye after hearing it.

00:05:07.980 And yet, after I made this particular statement, all hell broke loose on social media over the past few days.

00:05:13.380 Nearly 6 million people have viewed the footage of my remarks on X

00:05:17.280 and there have been thousands of furious and unhinged reactions,

00:05:21.820 much of it coming from the right or the right.

00:05:25.400 And those are the responses I want to focus on today.

00:05:28.500 So, we're not talking about a media matters-driven outrage cycle here, at least not exclusively.

00:05:35.520 I actually can't think of anything I've said recently that's caused more consternation and outrage from conservatives

00:05:41.560 than the footage I'm about to show you.

00:05:43.200 Except when I said that conservatives should stop fighting with each other

00:05:46.280 and focus on the people who actively want to kill us.

00:05:49.100 That was the most controversial thing you could ever say, it turns out.

00:05:52.100 But this is a close second place, I think, on the outrage meter.

00:05:56.760 So, here's the big moment.

00:05:58.940 Here is the excerpt from my show that evidently is simply intolerable to a significant portion of the right.

00:06:08.480 Watch.

00:06:08.960 What we want is for someone to unashamedly and single-mindedly advocate for Americans and Americans only.

00:06:17.620 We want someone to say, you know, the only thing I care about is helping Americans.

00:06:21.020 The only people I care about in the world are Americans. 0.99

00:06:23.360 And we don't want to just hear that, but we want to see the action taken as well.

00:06:26.020 You know, I've seen some people on social media say, hey, it's America first, but not America only.

00:06:32.400 I disagree.

00:06:33.440 I think it is America only.

00:06:34.920 It's like I said months ago, I consider myself an American chauvinist.

00:06:38.380 America first, America only, I'm an American chauvinist.

00:06:40.480 I don't care about it.

00:06:41.340 This is the only thing I care about.

00:06:42.880 America should be the only thing you care about, especially as a leader of the country.

00:06:48.400 Now, you could pull up some speeches from George Washington and read pretty much the same thing.

00:06:53.360 Said much more eloquently, but still, it's the same kind of idea.

00:06:57.460 Washington said that the great rule for the United States in regard to foreign nations is to, quote,

00:07:02.400 have with them as little political connection as possible.

00:07:06.220 Jefferson and John Adams agreed.

00:07:07.880 All the founders wrote that if it benefited the United States, we should trade with other countries.

00:07:13.600 We should speak to them if it was in our interest to do so.

00:07:17.400 But otherwise, we really shouldn't have anything to do with them at all.

00:07:20.780 And if that seems controversial to you, think about the issue in terms of your own family.

00:07:27.900 Now, speaking for myself, although I suspect everybody listening to this podcast agrees with me on this,

00:07:33.260 you know, I'm America only in the same sort of sense that I am my family only.

00:07:39.100 My priority is my family.

00:07:41.200 I will never put any other family above my own.

00:07:43.720 I will help other families only to the extent that it brings no harm to my own family.

00:07:51.640 My family is the only family that I treat as my family because it is my only family.

00:07:57.320 There will never be a time when the interests of another family will come before my own.

00:08:01.900 If I had to choose between rescuing a thousand strangers from a fire or just one of my children,

00:08:09.760 I would choose my child without hesitation.

00:08:13.060 It could be a million strangers that I could rescue or just one of my children, and I will choose my child.

00:08:21.600 I'd say that's my family only.

00:08:23.960 And I also think that every parent would do the same.

00:08:29.520 Now, our leaders are not our parents, and we're not their children, so I hesitate a little bit to make those kinds of analogies.

00:08:35.100 But the same general principle should apply.

00:08:36.860 They should prioritize their people, Americans, above all other people on earth. 0.76

00:08:41.840 They should concern themselves with other nations only to the degree that it benefits Americans. 0.88

00:08:47.860 If they could choose between helping 10 million foreigners or one American family,

00:08:53.740 they should choose the American family without hesitation.

00:08:57.460 If they could help 10 million foreigners, but it would harm one American family, 0.99

00:09:04.120 then they should not help those 10 million foreigners.

00:09:09.340 This is what it means to be a nation, a people, or what it should mean.

00:09:14.120 And from the time George Washington was president, no American,

00:09:20.260 no one who truly cared about conserving and protecting this country, disagreed with this.

00:09:25.200 It's just, it's obvious.

00:09:27.320 Now, from the responses I received over the weekend,

00:09:30.440 it is clear that my statements are now considered highly incendiary,

00:09:34.840 even among some conservatives,

00:09:36.860 for stating that our leaders should exclusively prioritize America's interests,

00:09:41.500 America's interests only. 0.93

00:09:45.260 That's what we mean by American only.

00:09:47.480 The only interests that matter are our own.

00:09:51.680 And for saying that,

00:09:53.040 I was criticized from many directions.

00:09:56.420 And I also received some words of concern,

00:09:58.700 or perhaps more eager anticipation from other commentators

00:10:02.060 who prophesied that I would be fired for that video that I just played.

00:10:07.380 A lot of comments like that.

00:10:08.520 Well, if you're hearing this and you're watching it,

00:10:10.920 it seems safe to say that I was not, in fact,

00:10:12.740 fired from my job for saying that we should prioritize America's interests.

00:10:16.020 Nor would it have made much sense if I had been,

00:10:19.080 because I've been saying the same thing for many years now,

00:10:21.440 and it's also just really obvious.

00:10:24.540 Meanwhile, many of the more serious responses to my commentary

00:10:28.180 were obviously made in bad faith,

00:10:30.360 meaning they misrepresented what I said.

00:10:32.140 And again, these misrepresentations were not coming from the left.

00:10:35.500 So we've got a big problem here

00:10:39.380 when the idea that we should only prioritize our own country's interests

00:10:43.660 is controversial on the right.

00:10:45.800 We've got a big problem.

00:10:47.380 We've got some fundamental problems here,

00:10:49.080 and that's why I think it's worth talking about.

00:10:50.600 So, for example, here was the response from a lawyer named Ethan Isaacson,

00:10:54.100 who describes himself as pro-Western civilization.

00:10:56.840 And here's what he told me, quote,

00:10:57.620 There are many posts along these lines.

00:11:11.960 And, of course, the problem is that nothing that he wrote

00:11:14.740 is actually responsive to what I said.

00:11:16.820 I never denied that other nations exist.

00:11:19.320 I didn't say America is the only country that exists on the globe.

00:11:24.840 I didn't deny that, you know, some nations will be adversaries

00:11:27.900 and others will be friendly.

00:11:29.460 I also never stated that we should ignore the rest of the world.

00:11:32.400 If Cuba develops a nuclear bomb

00:11:33.860 and tries to detonate it on American soil tomorrow,

00:11:36.580 I would support military action to stop them.

00:11:39.740 On the other hand, if Cuba has some kind of humanitarian crisis,

00:11:42.800 which they often do,

00:11:44.340 then we generally should not intervene

00:11:46.560 because it has no bearing on the United States.

00:11:49.480 It would not make us stronger in any way

00:11:52.440 to send them billions of dollars.

00:11:55.060 Quite the contrary.

00:11:56.960 So we shouldn't do it, usually.

00:11:59.620 And that's the point I was making.

00:12:02.920 The only country that should matter to our leaders is America.

00:12:06.280 America only.

00:12:07.180 America is the only concern. 0.93

00:12:09.900 We should only get involved with other countries

00:12:12.380 when there is an unequivocal benefit to our own country.

00:12:16.000 And that is rarely, though not never, the case.

00:12:19.540 And that's the part you're not supposed to say, but it's true.

00:12:22.960 No matter how great an alleged ally may be,

00:12:26.400 we shouldn't do anything for them

00:12:28.100 unless it serves our interests.

00:12:30.620 That is the one qualifier that we should take into account.

00:12:38.020 Does this serve our interests?

00:12:40.360 Does this help American families?

00:12:43.260 And if it doesn't, we shouldn't do it.

00:12:46.000 Now, I used the analogy last week of teams in sports.

00:12:48.900 Not a perfect analogy, but it helps make the point,

00:12:51.700 you know, that if you're the coach of a football team,

00:12:53.860 you would never do anything to help another team

00:12:58.940 if it hurts your own team.

00:13:01.700 Now, that doesn't mean that you hate other teams

00:13:03.960 or you deny their humanity,

00:13:05.540 doesn't make you a selfish person or a bad Christian.

00:13:08.240 It just means that your duty, your job,

00:13:11.140 is to your team.

00:13:14.020 And when it comes to our, quote-unquote, allies,

00:13:16.240 the other important point is that,

00:13:17.600 you know, they all need us more than we need them.

00:13:20.780 And there is no exception to this rule.

00:13:22.440 They all do.

00:13:23.680 You cannot name a single ally of the United States

00:13:26.300 where they benefit us more than we benefit them.

00:13:29.820 And you certainly can't name a single ally of the U.S.

00:13:33.020 that's worth any significant degree

00:13:35.220 of internal political division on the right

00:13:37.080 in our own country,

00:13:37.820 especially at a time when leftists openly want to murder

00:13:40.980 every single one of us. 0.99

00:13:42.640 And they're gloating about shooting conservatives in the neck 1.00

00:13:45.020 and killing their children. 1.00

00:13:46.100 And meanwhile, conservatives are mad at me 1.00

00:13:50.240 for saying American interests are paramount.

00:13:54.160 And it didn't stop there.

00:13:55.560 Here's another one.

00:13:56.700 Quote, Matt, you can't use the camera or laptop

00:13:58.860 or cell phone or internet

00:13:59.940 without a functioning global supply chain.

00:14:02.480 Matt, you can't even get antibiotics produced in the U.S.

00:14:05.440 Good luck with America only.

00:14:09.060 Now, this is an example of someone attempting to argue with me,

00:14:11.820 but really agreeing with everything I'm saying,

00:14:14.000 making my point even better than I did.

00:14:15.660 That's because he's right about antibiotics.

00:14:20.480 We don't even make penicillin anymore,

00:14:22.400 and that needs to change.

00:14:23.320 We need to start producing more antibiotics in this country.

00:14:25.760 At the moment, as we learned earlier this year

00:14:27.820 during the tariff wars,

00:14:29.000 we get the active ingredients in most antibiotics from China,

00:14:32.560 which is not ideal,

00:14:33.620 especially since over the past decade,

00:14:35.060 we've experienced substantial shortages of antibiotics

00:14:36.960 in this country.

00:14:37.980 According to one recent paper,

00:14:39.120 quote,

00:14:39.320 So we've never been as reliant on foreign antibiotics

00:14:51.620 as we are right now,

00:14:52.840 and there's no clear reason for this.

00:14:54.680 We have the capacity to make antibiotics in this country,

00:14:57.180 or at least to source them from somewhere other than China,

00:15:00.540 and we should make that happen.

00:15:02.460 And no, that doesn't mean that we need to

00:15:03.700 make literally every product in this country,

00:15:06.440 but it does mean that when we have the option

00:15:08.920 of making critical products that we need

00:15:10.620 for society to function,

00:15:11.640 like basic antibiotics,

00:15:12.880 it's usually better to do that in our country if we can.

00:15:15.960 But apparently, by saying things like this,

00:15:18.200 I was actually calling for the end of the U.S. dollar

00:15:21.200 as the global reserve currency.

00:15:23.980 So here's one response along those lines.

00:15:25.900 Quote,

00:15:26.340 America only means the U.S. dollar

00:15:28.100 is no longer the global reserve currency.

00:15:30.120 That's upheld by global trade,

00:15:32.960 finance, and alliances.

00:15:33.920 Isolation erodes trust,

00:15:36.220 leads to de-dollarization,

00:15:38.220 rising inflation and debt costs,

00:15:40.020 and cedes geostrategic power to bricks.

00:15:43.320 Does Matt even know how the world works?

00:15:47.220 This is another reply that doesn't make much sense

00:15:49.500 and invents things I didn't say 1.00

00:15:50.720 and then accuses me of being a moron 1.00

00:15:52.580 for believing these made-up arguments 1.00

00:15:54.120 that I didn't make.

00:15:55.640 Of course, focusing exclusively on America's interests 0.77

00:15:58.400 does not mean that we should suspend

00:16:01.540 all international financial transactions

00:16:03.660 and destroy the value of the U.S. dollar.

00:16:05.640 Doing something like that

00:16:06.460 would be contrary to America's interests,

00:16:09.740 so we shouldn't do it.

00:16:12.380 It's pretty simple.

00:16:13.580 Again, America only means that 0.54

00:16:15.720 the only priority of our leaders

00:16:18.560 is to serve the interests

00:16:20.240 of our country and its people.

00:16:23.400 So when you say,

00:16:24.320 oh, but what about this?

00:16:25.680 If we don't do this,

00:16:26.520 it's going to hurt Americans.

00:16:27.400 Okay, well, then we should do it

00:16:29.220 if your argument is true.

00:16:32.460 Okay, now we're arguing

00:16:33.600 based on the right premise here.

00:16:36.020 That's the whole point.

00:16:37.500 If you're making any argument

00:16:38.920 for doing anything globally,

00:16:41.060 the argument should be,

00:16:43.800 well, yeah, we should do this

00:16:44.800 because this will help America.

00:16:46.540 Now, you might be wrong,

00:16:47.700 you might be right about that argument,

00:16:49.160 but that is the argument you need to make.

00:16:51.700 Making the argument that,

00:16:52.920 well, we should do this

00:16:53.700 because it's really important

00:16:54.880 to those foreigners over there

00:16:56.420 that we do it.

00:16:57.560 That is the wrong argument

00:16:58.960 because that is not the point.

00:17:04.860 The point is serving our own interests.

00:17:08.640 If it serves our interests,

00:17:09.940 we should do it.

00:17:10.620 This really is not complicated.

00:17:12.380 It really isn't.

00:17:14.780 At a certain point,

00:17:15.760 when people are willing

00:17:16.500 to constantly misrepresent

00:17:17.940 my position on this,

00:17:20.000 you have to wonder

00:17:20.580 if something else is going on.

00:17:22.880 What I think is happening here

00:17:23.980 is that a certain subset of people

00:17:25.360 identifying as conservatives

00:17:26.600 for whatever reason

00:17:28.060 don't want our leaders

00:17:30.080 focusing on America.

00:17:31.200 They want our leaders

00:17:32.040 working for their favored

00:17:33.300 foreign country instead.

00:17:35.000 And therefore,

00:17:35.420 when someone suggests a change,

00:17:37.320 when someone suggests

00:17:38.040 focusing on America,

00:17:39.740 they get very upset.

00:17:41.120 They start accusing you

00:17:42.300 of things you never said.

00:17:44.480 It's a bit like telling a drug addict

00:17:45.840 that he needs to get help

00:17:46.760 and square his life away.

00:17:47.720 Oftentimes, he completely spirals

00:17:49.040 out of control,

00:17:49.780 lashing out uncontrollably.

00:17:52.080 Here's another example.

00:17:53.160 The American colonists

00:17:54.640 literally won the revolution

00:17:55.880 in 1781 because of France.

00:17:57.600 If France didn't help us,

00:17:59.020 we would have lost.

00:18:00.260 This idea that a nation

00:18:01.260 doesn't need mutually beneficial alliances 0.97

00:18:03.320 is so ludicrous and ahistorical. 0.97

00:18:05.660 Can't believe this is becoming 0.98

00:18:06.960 a talking point

00:18:07.860 on the podcast right.

00:18:11.320 Yes, can you believe this

00:18:12.540 latest talking point

00:18:14.500 on the podcast right?

00:18:16.700 All of us podcast bros

00:18:18.420 on the right are saying

00:18:19.760 that we shouldn't have accepted

00:18:20.720 France's assistance

00:18:21.760 in 1781.

00:18:25.560 That's what we're really

00:18:26.320 fired up about

00:18:27.000 in the last few weeks.

00:18:28.580 That's what people

00:18:29.420 are arguing about now.

00:18:32.080 Now, France in 1781.

00:18:35.140 That's what we're all saying,

00:18:35.940 that we should not have,

00:18:36.640 you know, we should have told

00:18:37.280 the French back in 1781

00:18:38.400 not to blockade the British

00:18:39.820 or to send us financial assistance

00:18:41.680 and troops

00:18:42.120 because we could have handled

00:18:43.240 everything on our own.

00:18:44.860 This guy really has his finger

00:18:46.300 on the pulse

00:18:46.900 of the podcast right.

00:18:48.980 He's exposed us.

00:18:50.720 Now, just to play the game

00:18:52.120 for a second here,

00:18:52.860 if I had been alive in 1781,

00:18:55.000 I would have accepted

00:18:55.980 the assistance

00:18:56.440 of the French military

00:18:57.460 and there's no inconsistency here

00:18:59.380 and that's because

00:19:00.700 follow along closely.

00:19:04.200 Aligning with France 0.62

00:19:05.720 was obviously

00:19:06.640 in our national interests

00:19:08.840 at the time

00:19:10.020 and so

00:19:11.800 it's perfectly in keeping

00:19:14.380 with what I'm talking about.

00:19:15.580 It helped us survive

00:19:16.580 as a country.

00:19:18.080 Once again,

00:19:18.600 America only

00:19:20.120 means doing only

00:19:22.060 what serves

00:19:23.100 our national interests.

00:19:25.440 That did serve

00:19:26.500 our national interests

00:19:27.380 so it's good

00:19:28.720 that we did it.

00:19:31.000 Seems like a very basic point

00:19:32.460 but apparently

00:19:32.860 I need to constantly

00:19:33.840 spell it out

00:19:34.460 because thousands of people

00:19:35.600 are pretending

00:19:36.160 to be confused.

00:19:38.720 Now, in keeping

00:19:39.420 with that theme,

00:19:40.060 I was also accused

00:19:40.820 of violating

00:19:41.860 the tenets of Christianity

00:19:43.140 by saying that

00:19:44.100 we need to focus

00:19:44.620 on America.

00:19:45.340 Here's Peter Laffin

00:19:46.340 at D.C. Examiner,

00:19:47.280 quote,

00:19:47.960 America first,

00:19:48.700 America only

00:19:49.180 is manifestly at odds

00:19:50.780 with the Christian faith.

00:19:52.340 This can't be squared.

00:19:55.140 This is another

00:19:55.860 common refrain.

00:19:56.660 Here's another

00:19:56.980 similar post

00:19:57.620 from Philip Goff

00:19:59.400 who's an author.

00:20:01.700 This sentiment

00:20:02.480 is completely incompatible

00:20:04.180 with Christian ethics.

00:20:06.460 Here's a similar post

00:20:07.460 from a man 0.83

00:20:07.780 named Evan Wickham,

00:20:09.400 quote,

00:20:10.020 The moment a Christian platform

00:20:11.280 pushes America first 0.97

00:20:12.420 and only,

00:20:12.920 Christians should stand up 1.00

00:20:14.020 and call it what it is, 0.98

00:20:15.280 anti-gospel nonsense.

00:20:17.380 Calling Walsh's take extreme

00:20:18.720 is an excuse

00:20:19.340 to stay silent.

00:20:20.460 Renounce it.

00:20:21.600 Jesus didn't draw borders

00:20:22.860 around his compassion.

00:20:24.880 Yes, renounce it.

00:20:25.980 Don't just disagree

00:20:26.780 with putting our country's

00:20:28.780 priorities first

00:20:29.780 with only prioritizing

00:20:30.800 the interests

00:20:31.100 of our own country.

00:20:32.040 Renounce it.

00:20:33.640 You must disavow.

00:20:35.620 Yeah, you need to disavow me.

00:20:37.300 Very important.

00:20:39.800 A lot of conservatives

00:20:40.720 these days are big on that.

00:20:42.600 Gotta disavow.

00:20:43.340 We need to disavow.

00:20:44.320 Disavow that person

00:20:45.200 and that person.

00:20:46.940 And once you disavow them,

00:20:47.980 disavow them too.

00:20:51.340 I remember back

00:20:52.340 when this was

00:20:53.360 the feature

00:20:54.960 of left-wing cancel culture

00:20:56.260 was the constant demands

00:20:58.440 for renunciations

00:21:00.120 and disavowals.

00:21:01.780 And now it's coming

00:21:02.460 from conservatives

00:21:03.500 all the time.

00:21:04.980 Every day,

00:21:05.720 it's another person.

00:21:07.600 Now it's my turn.

00:21:09.240 Renounce me.

00:21:09.960 Disavow me.

00:21:12.480 Now, in other words,

00:21:13.040 according to these

00:21:13.660 various commentators,

00:21:14.680 the gospel commands

00:21:16.040 that Americans advance

00:21:17.460 the interests

00:21:18.000 of foreign countries.

00:21:19.320 That's what the gospel says.

00:21:21.520 Somewhere.

00:21:23.260 It's in the Bible

00:21:24.080 somewhere in some form.

00:21:25.320 But as you might have guessed,

00:21:26.200 none of these commentators

00:21:26.920 can point to a citation

00:21:28.080 for any of their claims

00:21:29.380 because there isn't one.

00:21:32.180 Now, as far as I could tell,

00:21:33.080 the idea that Christian ethics

00:21:34.480 mandates open borders

00:21:35.680 so that, you know,

00:21:36.660 more foreigners 1.00

00:21:37.300 can sexually assault 1.00

00:21:38.460 and murder women 1.00

00:21:39.180 on college campuses 1.00

00:21:40.020 or drive drunk

00:21:41.540 on the highway

00:21:42.040 at 2 p.m.

00:21:42.760 and wipe out

00:21:43.360 entire families.

00:21:45.380 That's not actually

00:21:46.080 something that Christ

00:21:46.820 endorsed at any point.

00:21:49.180 Nor is the idea

00:21:50.020 that foreign countries

00:21:50.900 deserve $80 billion

00:21:52.220 in financial assistance

00:21:53.380 every year from the U.S.,

00:21:54.480 which is what they're getting.

00:21:56.580 None of that's in the Bible.

00:21:58.840 That's not even hinted at

00:22:00.060 in the Bible.

00:22:01.220 So this is just,

00:22:02.460 of course,

00:22:03.020 being totally made up.

00:22:04.160 And in lieu of citations

00:22:07.180 to the scripture,

00:22:08.180 we got more posts

00:22:09.080 like this one from Evan.

00:22:10.020 This reply was directed

00:22:11.260 at me along with

00:22:12.020 William Wolfe,

00:22:12.980 who serves as the

00:22:13.760 executive director

00:22:14.600 of the Center for Baptist

00:22:15.500 Leadership.

00:22:16.080 Quote,

00:22:16.720 I'd love to hear

00:22:17.260 the Walsh-Wolfe tribe

00:22:18.800 talk about how to love

00:22:20.240 one's undocumented neighbor

00:22:21.760 with examples.

00:22:23.460 I know of an ICE agent

00:22:24.420 here in San Diego

00:22:25.300 who both upholds the law

00:22:26.660 and teaches his team

00:22:27.900 once they cross,

00:22:29.440 there are neighbors

00:22:30.320 deserving of love.

00:22:32.300 I don't know why

00:22:32.860 this is hard.

00:22:33.440 Now, first of all,

00:22:36.080 if there really is

00:22:36.940 a senior ICE agent

00:22:38.240 somewhere in San Diego

00:22:39.360 who instructs

00:22:40.960 other ICE agents

00:22:41.900 that illegal aliens, 1.00

00:22:43.340 once they cross,

00:22:44.620 are our neighbors

00:22:45.820 deserving of love,

00:22:47.800 then he needs to be

00:22:48.460 fired immediately.

00:22:49.440 Because the ICE agent

00:22:50.280 should be saying

00:22:50.980 that illegal aliens 1.00

00:22:52.340 are foreigners

00:22:53.460 who don't belong here

00:22:54.240 and they deserve

00:22:54.860 immediate deportation.

00:22:56.620 And that's it.

00:22:58.440 They are not

00:22:59.420 our neighbors.

00:23:01.060 Or at least

00:23:01.820 they shouldn't be.

00:23:02.420 That's the whole point,

00:23:03.680 Evan.

00:23:04.460 They're not our neighbors.

00:23:06.780 They're from another country. 1.00

00:23:08.200 They don't belong here legally.

00:23:11.740 Upholding the rule of law,

00:23:12.800 that's also in the Bible.

00:23:16.060 You know,

00:23:16.480 we're not paying ICE agents

00:23:17.400 to treat illegals lovingly

00:23:19.260 as our neighbors.

00:23:19.880 We're paying them

00:23:20.320 to enforce our immigration laws.

00:23:22.600 And secondly,

00:23:23.060 notice that Evan uses

00:23:23.820 the word undocumented

00:23:24.640 instead of illegal.

00:23:25.680 And you notice this a lot.

00:23:28.280 You know,

00:23:28.440 the same Christians 0.98

00:23:29.220 who are upset

00:23:30.020 about the basic principles

00:23:31.280 of nationalism

00:23:32.000 are also very often

00:23:33.380 the kinds of Christians 0.99

00:23:34.440 who use words

00:23:35.560 like undocumented.

00:23:38.080 These are weak, 1.00

00:23:39.280 pathetic frauds 1.00

00:23:40.140 who have conformed 1.00

00:23:41.180 themselves to the world.

00:23:42.900 You could tell it

00:23:43.780 even in the language

00:23:44.560 that they use.

00:23:45.860 While they pretend

00:23:46.860 to be holier

00:23:47.980 than the rest of us.

00:23:48.780 And they also dress up

00:23:51.340 their indifference

00:23:52.180 as compassion

00:23:53.060 because these are people

00:23:53.880 like Evan

00:23:54.460 couldn't care less

00:23:55.520 about American sovereignty,

00:23:56.740 couldn't care less

00:23:57.440 about our national identity,

00:23:58.800 couldn't care less

00:23:59.260 about our country,

00:24:00.920 couldn't care less

00:24:01.480 about all of the people

00:24:02.940 who are being killed

00:24:03.720 by illegal aliens

00:24:04.920 or the job opportunities

00:24:06.500 that are being taken away,

00:24:07.520 the way that it's decimating

00:24:08.480 our economy,

00:24:09.240 the housing market.

00:24:10.340 Couldn't care less about that.

00:24:11.180 He doesn't care.

00:24:11.780 It doesn't affect him personally.

00:24:13.300 He doesn't care at all.

00:24:14.500 Does not care.

00:24:15.740 And so therefore,

00:24:16.400 he has no anger about it.

00:24:18.600 And in his indifference,

00:24:20.460 he can step up and say,

00:24:21.520 oh, well,

00:24:22.080 I'm much better

00:24:23.780 than these other Christians. 0.87

00:24:25.140 I love everybody.

00:24:28.940 But they're not holier

00:24:30.000 than the rest of us,

00:24:30.820 nor do they have any idea

00:24:31.880 what they're talking about.

00:24:32.700 Loving someone

00:24:33.640 doesn't mean

00:24:34.900 just letting them

00:24:37.180 commit crimes.

00:24:38.880 It doesn't mean

00:24:39.380 giving them

00:24:39.740 a get-out-of-jail-free card.

00:24:42.100 And it doesn't mean

00:24:42.980 exposing innocent

00:24:43.860 American citizens

00:24:44.680 to violent

00:24:45.580 and extremely preventable

00:24:46.720 attacks by illegal

00:24:47.540 aliens.

00:24:48.120 There's no conception

00:24:49.120 of Christian love

00:24:50.180 that involves

00:24:51.320 opening the borders

00:24:52.280 and suspending

00:24:53.040 immigration law.

00:24:53.800 That is a flagrant

00:24:54.640 bastardization

00:24:55.580 of Christian teaching. 0.99

00:24:58.120 It's not even bastard. 1.00

00:24:58.720 It's got nothing 0.88

00:24:59.900 to do with it at all.

00:25:02.400 This is open borders

00:25:03.500 communist globalism

00:25:05.160 is what it is.

00:25:05.800 This is not Christianity. 0.99

00:25:07.080 This is antithetical

00:25:08.140 to Christianity.

00:25:09.420 And yet,

00:25:09.660 it's becoming mainstream

00:25:10.480 among many Catholics.

00:25:11.640 and I mention that

00:25:15.280 because several

00:25:15.900 U.S. bishops

00:25:16.600 just released

00:25:18.000 this video

00:25:19.040 condemning

00:25:20.640 the Trump administration

00:25:21.400 for enforcing

00:25:22.840 immigration law.

00:25:23.520 And as we're talking

00:25:24.000 about people

00:25:25.380 claiming that we have

00:25:26.220 some sort of

00:25:26.640 Christian duty 0.93

00:25:27.340 to accept

00:25:29.620 open borders

00:25:30.380 or open up our borders

00:25:31.200 and allow all

00:25:31.960 illegal aliens in,

00:25:33.920 well,

00:25:34.460 this was just released

00:25:35.720 a couple days ago,

00:25:36.460 so this is right in line

00:25:37.420 with that.

00:25:39.140 Let's watch it.

00:25:39.920 Here it is.

00:25:41.240 As pastors,

00:25:42.340 we, the bishops

00:25:43.000 of the United States,

00:25:44.400 are bound to our people

00:25:45.880 by ties of communion

00:25:47.560 and compassion

00:25:48.360 in our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:25:50.740 And we are disturbed

00:25:51.720 when we see

00:25:52.460 among our people

00:25:53.280 a climate of fear

00:25:54.680 and anxiety

00:25:55.560 around questions

00:25:56.780 of profiling

00:25:57.720 and immigration enforcement.

00:25:59.640 We are saddened

00:26:00.600 by the state

00:26:01.600 of contemporary debate

00:26:02.900 and the vivification

00:26:04.200 of immigrants.

00:26:06.140 We are concerned

00:26:07.080 about the conditions

00:26:08.600 in detention centers

00:26:10.000 and the lack of access

00:26:11.740 to pastoral care.

00:26:13.320 We lament

00:26:14.000 that some immigrants

00:26:14.920 in the United States

00:26:16.000 have arbitrarily lost

00:26:17.640 their legal status.

00:26:19.200 We are troubled

00:26:19.740 by threats

00:26:20.420 against the sanctity

00:26:21.380 of houses of worship

00:26:22.420 and the special nature

00:26:24.240 of hospitals

00:26:25.000 and schools.

00:26:26.360 We are grieved

00:26:27.160 when we meet parents

00:26:28.720 who fear being detained

00:26:30.360 when taking their children

00:26:32.020 to school

00:26:32.700 or when we try

00:26:34.700 to console family members

00:26:36.140 who have already

00:26:37.360 been separated

00:26:38.240 from their loved ones.

00:26:39.600 Catholic teaching

00:26:40.560 exhorts nations 0.83

00:26:41.800 to recognize

00:26:42.920 the fundamental dignity

00:26:44.820 of all persons,

00:26:46.320 including immigrants.

00:26:48.380 We bishops advocate

00:26:49.740 for a meaningful reform

00:26:52.420 of our nation's

00:26:53.740 immigration laws

00:26:54.780 and procedures.

00:26:56.480 Human dignity

00:26:57.060 and national security

00:26:58.980 are not in conflict.

00:27:01.240 Both are possible

00:27:02.200 if people of good will

00:27:03.760 work together.

00:27:07.740 Yeah, this is,

00:27:09.020 you know,

00:27:09.460 I'm Catholic,

00:27:10.540 as you know.

00:27:11.400 I love the church.

00:27:12.480 I love my faith.

00:27:14.300 And that is why

00:27:15.920 I watch something like that

00:27:18.680 and I find it

00:27:19.420 so infuriating

00:27:20.300 and disgusting 1.00

00:27:21.060 and cowardly 1.00

00:27:22.700 and dishonest. 1.00

00:27:25.060 And the funny thing is,

00:27:26.720 you know,

00:27:27.660 I don't recall

00:27:28.340 the bishops

00:27:29.380 making any sort

00:27:30.520 of video like this

00:27:31.480 to condemn

00:27:32.040 the Biden White House

00:27:33.300 for,

00:27:34.420 for example,

00:27:35.520 supporting funding

00:27:36.440 and facilitating

00:27:37.340 the mass slaughter

00:27:38.880 of children

00:27:39.480 in the womb.

00:27:41.880 You remember that?

00:27:42.760 I don't remember that.

00:27:43.400 I don't remember them

00:27:43.940 all lining up

00:27:44.560 for a video

00:27:45.060 where they're solemnly,

00:27:46.120 we condemn this.

00:27:48.020 This is terrible.

00:27:49.440 This should not be,

00:27:50.160 I don't,

00:27:50.520 I don't remember that

00:27:51.140 at any point.

00:27:52.440 I can't remember

00:27:54.960 seeing any video

00:27:56.200 with solemn condemnations

00:27:57.740 of the Biden White House

00:27:58.900 and its support

00:27:59.600 for the castration 0.98

00:28:01.140 and sexual mutilation 1.00

00:28:02.080 of children.

00:28:03.660 I don't remember that either.

00:28:06.440 And that's in spite

00:28:07.600 of the fact

00:28:08.160 that Biden

00:28:09.180 actually is

00:28:10.800 quote unquote

00:28:11.320 Catholic

00:28:11.800 and was actively

00:28:13.520 engaged in activities

00:28:14.820 that are explicitly

00:28:15.900 condemned

00:28:16.660 as mortally sinful

00:28:18.080 by the church.

00:28:19.320 Now Trump

00:28:21.360 is neither Catholic 0.96

00:28:22.740 nor is he doing

00:28:24.420 anything policy-wise

00:28:25.900 that contradicts

00:28:26.920 church teaching.

00:28:28.020 Nothing.

00:28:30.300 Okay, I'll tell you

00:28:30.720 that right now.

00:28:31.340 As a Catholic,

00:28:32.220 Trump is not doing

00:28:33.040 a single thing

00:28:34.500 policy-wise

00:28:36.020 that contradicts

00:28:37.260 church teaching.

00:28:38.100 Period.

00:28:41.080 Biden did things

00:28:42.440 in his policy

00:28:43.440 that contradicted

00:28:44.140 Catholic teaching

00:28:44.780 every day.

00:28:46.160 Every single day.

00:28:47.480 And we never got

00:28:48.140 a single video

00:28:48.700 like this.

00:28:49.320 And deportations

00:28:52.380 certainly do not

00:28:53.600 contradict

00:28:54.380 church teaching.

00:28:57.340 Biblical teaching.

00:28:59.200 And yet the bishops

00:29:00.200 suddenly find their voice

00:29:01.540 and their courage

00:29:02.380 for this issue.

00:29:05.060 Now notice they don't

00:29:06.260 say what reform

00:29:07.160 they're looking for

00:29:07.820 exactly.

00:29:08.380 In that video

00:29:08.880 they go on to say

00:29:09.720 that some immigration

00:29:10.860 enforcement and border

00:29:11.640 security is necessary

00:29:12.660 but they also claim

00:29:13.580 without setting a single

00:29:15.400 specific example

00:29:16.080 that the Trump administration

00:29:17.160 is somehow abusing

00:29:18.100 its authority

00:29:18.660 by deporting

00:29:19.640 illegal aliens.

00:29:20.720 They say some

00:29:21.600 immigrants have 0.98

00:29:22.180 arbitrarily lost

00:29:23.420 their legal status

00:29:24.900 without naming

00:29:25.880 a single actual

00:29:27.060 case of this happening

00:29:28.000 because it hasn't

00:29:29.340 happened.

00:29:29.820 It's a lie.

00:29:30.800 Who exactly has

00:29:31.720 arbitrarily lost

00:29:33.120 their legal status?

00:29:34.400 Where does that

00:29:34.780 happen?

00:29:36.120 Bishop,

00:29:36.600 you made the claim.

00:29:38.100 You have a moral

00:29:39.060 duty if you make

00:29:40.340 a claim like that

00:29:41.260 to be able to

00:29:42.600 support it.

00:29:43.120 Now I cover this

00:29:45.940 topic for a living.

00:29:46.640 I have no idea

00:29:47.220 who they're talking

00:29:48.060 about.

00:29:49.080 If they're talking

00:29:49.880 about the foreign

00:29:50.600 communists who lost

00:29:51.620 their green cards

00:29:52.300 after they openly

00:29:52.920 called for the

00:29:53.400 destruction of

00:29:53.880 Western civilization,

00:29:55.220 that wasn't

00:29:56.800 arbitrary.

00:29:57.880 Now if you want

00:29:58.320 to argue that it

00:29:58.860 was overkill or

00:30:01.500 something, I don't

00:30:01.920 think it was, but

00:30:02.540 if you want to argue

00:30:03.620 that you can make

00:30:03.980 that argument.

00:30:04.220 It's not arbitrary.

00:30:05.060 There's nothing

00:30:05.260 arbitrary about it.

00:30:06.140 The administration

00:30:08.620 isn't randomly

00:30:09.660 picking certain

00:30:10.540 people and just

00:30:11.380 kicking them out

00:30:12.200 of the country

00:30:12.620 for no reason.

00:30:14.680 They kick them

00:30:15.400 out because they

00:30:15.900 lied on their

00:30:16.940 visa applications

00:30:17.660 and because they're

00:30:18.240 subversive foreign 0.96

00:30:19.120 agents.

00:30:21.540 Then the bishops

00:30:22.300 say that some

00:30:22.960 parents are afraid

00:30:24.080 of being detained

00:30:25.160 on their way to

00:30:25.660 school, which is

00:30:26.880 supposed to sound

00:30:27.680 empathetic apparently.

00:30:28.880 Imagine if they, 0.98

00:30:29.520 you know, but

00:30:29.840 imagine if they

00:30:30.260 tried this tactic

00:30:31.020 with any other

00:30:32.180 crime.

00:30:33.940 Imagine that a

00:30:34.740 parent robs a

00:30:35.400 bank.

00:30:36.140 And the next

00:30:36.980 day he's nervous

00:30:37.620 driving his child

00:30:38.560 to school.

00:30:40.000 And you've got a

00:30:40.700 bishop saying,

00:30:41.360 well, he's nervous.

00:30:43.040 The poor guy's

00:30:43.720 nervous on his way

00:30:44.500 to school.

00:30:46.280 You know, we

00:30:46.980 should dismantle

00:30:47.740 all of the, we

00:30:48.540 should dismantle

00:30:49.160 all of the laws

00:30:49.840 of the United

00:30:50.180 States.

00:30:50.600 Just tear down

00:30:51.180 the border so

00:30:51.760 that this, because

00:30:52.500 this guy's nervous

00:30:53.380 and he's bringing

00:30:54.560 his kids to school

00:30:55.180 and he's nervous

00:30:55.780 and that, and so

00:30:56.600 let, you know,

00:30:57.180 nevermind, let's

00:30:57.680 not have a nation.

00:30:58.440 Let's not have a

00:30:58.960 country.

00:30:59.400 Good point, Bishop.

00:31:01.360 Let's just not

00:31:01.960 have one at all

00:31:02.560 so it doesn't,

00:31:03.040 because we don't

00:31:03.340 want to make them

00:31:03.680 nervous.

00:31:04.060 Should we feel

00:31:07.500 sympathy for that

00:31:08.200 parent?

00:31:08.660 Is that the

00:31:09.160 implication here?

00:31:11.940 Should we feel

00:31:12.620 sympathy when a

00:31:13.360 bank robber is

00:31:14.100 separated from his

00:31:14.900 child when he's

00:31:15.560 arrested by the

00:31:16.200 FBI?

00:31:16.620 I mean, when you

00:31:17.540 commit a crime and

00:31:18.260 coming into this

00:31:18.700 country illegally is

00:31:19.580 a crime, you very

00:31:21.680 often get separated

00:31:22.640 from your children.

00:31:23.660 That's, that, that

00:31:24.320 is, this happens

00:31:25.300 every day in this

00:31:26.120 country and it's

00:31:26.940 got nothing to do

00:31:27.500 with illegal immigrants 0.91

00:31:28.120 most of the time.

00:31:28.960 So here's a wild

00:31:31.060 idea for these

00:31:31.740 bishops.

00:31:32.160 How about instead

00:31:32.700 of condemning the

00:31:33.540 federal agents who

00:31:34.420 arrest criminals, you

00:31:36.360 actually condemn the

00:31:38.600 crimes themselves, the

00:31:42.320 crimes that are

00:31:42.820 harming this country.

00:31:45.340 How about you, you

00:31:46.360 tell parents to stop

00:31:47.320 committing federal

00:31:48.040 crimes in this

00:31:48.700 country and to

00:31:49.300 return home as

00:31:49.960 quickly as possible to

00:31:51.400 their home countries

00:31:52.020 where they belong.

00:31:54.280 Back in Mexico or

00:31:55.360 Venezuela or, or

00:31:56.420 whatever, presumably,

00:31:57.120 you know, this

00:31:58.380 parent would have

00:31:58.820 no problem driving

00:32:00.000 their child to

00:32:01.660 school.

00:32:03.780 They could do it

00:32:04.480 every day without

00:32:04.920 fear.

00:32:06.380 So why isn't that

00:32:07.600 their responsibility

00:32:08.340 as a parent?

00:32:10.360 The rule of law

00:32:11.260 must be maintained.

00:32:12.220 That is also a part

00:32:13.200 of Catholic teaching

00:32:13.960 and always has been.

00:32:16.680 Now the reality, of

00:32:17.560 course, is that these

00:32:18.220 bishops don't really

00:32:19.160 see illegal migration

00:32:20.440 as a crime.

00:32:21.120 They see bank robbery

00:32:22.580 as a crime, but they

00:32:23.300 don't care about

00:32:24.120 illegal migration

00:32:25.180 because they want

00:32:26.600 open borders.

00:32:28.120 They don't think

00:32:29.320 illegal entry should 1.00

00:32:30.100 be prosecuted at

00:32:31.000 all.

00:32:32.240 And instead of

00:32:32.640 admitting that

00:32:33.220 directly, they're

00:32:33.860 relying on emotional

00:32:34.720 blackmail, for

00:32:35.620 example, about

00:32:36.220 parents who are

00:32:36.800 scared as they

00:32:37.540 drive their kids

00:32:39.000 to school.

00:32:40.360 And to be clear,

00:32:40.880 when I talk about

00:32:41.660 putting America

00:32:43.300 first and only

00:32:44.380 America, America

00:32:45.340 only, I'm laying

00:32:46.780 out a philosophy

00:32:47.460 that is specifically

00:32:49.200 for our country

00:32:50.380 and its leaders.

00:32:51.320 I'm not suggesting

00:32:52.000 that the church

00:32:52.780 should adopt this

00:32:53.700 approach universally,

00:32:55.380 as my critics seem

00:32:56.600 to be implying.

00:32:58.180 Obviously, the

00:32:58.960 church is not 0.98

00:32:59.840 America only,

00:33:02.000 although church

00:33:03.340 leaders should not

00:33:04.080 be working to

00:33:05.020 actively undermine

00:33:06.100 our sovereignty

00:33:06.700 either, which is

00:33:08.440 what these bishops

00:33:09.020 are doing.

00:33:10.820 And that's what's

00:33:11.540 happening here, and

00:33:12.020 it's clearly a

00:33:12.600 deliberate effort by

00:33:14.380 some of these

00:33:14.840 bishops, as well as

00:33:16.220 a large faction on

00:33:17.240 the right, to

00:33:18.640 undermine our

00:33:19.240 national sovereignty.

00:33:19.940 And that's the

00:33:22.140 real reason that

00:33:22.700 so many so-called

00:33:23.560 conservatives and

00:33:24.520 Christians have 0.99

00:33:25.240 spent the last two

00:33:26.240 days having a

00:33:26.800 hissy fit over my 0.99

00:33:27.540 incredibly basic 0.86

00:33:28.700 articulation of the

00:33:29.640 most obvious and

00:33:30.580 self-evident principle

00:33:31.740 of nationalism.

00:33:33.640 For one reason or

00:33:34.580 another, they want to

00:33:35.400 undermine our

00:33:36.080 sovereignty.

00:33:37.920 So I'll say it

00:33:38.720 again.

00:33:40.340 America only.

00:33:42.720 America only.

00:33:44.520 Should not be a 0.93

00:33:45.440 controversial idea in

00:33:46.480 this country, least of

00:33:47.300 all among right-wingers.

00:33:48.240 The point is very

00:33:50.460 simple.

00:33:50.900 The only priority of

00:33:52.020 our leaders should be

00:33:52.960 the well-being of our

00:33:54.220 country and its

00:33:55.080 people.

00:33:55.480 There is no other

00:33:56.300 priority.

00:33:57.220 If getting involved in

00:33:58.080 another country's 0.85

00:33:58.700 affairs benefits our

00:33:59.780 people in some way,

00:34:00.600 then we should do it.

00:34:01.200 If it doesn't, we

00:34:01.820 shouldn't.

00:34:02.480 There is never a time

00:34:03.580 when our leaders should

00:34:04.800 do something that

00:34:05.620 harms our people or

00:34:06.980 fails to benefit them,

00:34:08.560 but benefits

00:34:09.200 foreigners.

00:34:11.180 Again, this should be

00:34:12.160 just about the most

00:34:12.880 obvious thing a

00:34:14.220 political commentator

00:34:15.220 could possibly say.

00:34:16.480 And yet we are so

00:34:18.740 confused that it's

00:34:20.800 treated as some kind

00:34:21.640 of provocative

00:34:22.600 theory.

00:34:25.680 But it's not.

00:34:26.640 I'm advocating for

00:34:27.660 exactly what our

00:34:28.800 founding fathers called

00:34:29.680 for, which is the

00:34:30.300 defense of our

00:34:30.980 national interest to

00:34:31.900 the exclusion of all 1.00

00:34:32.960 other foreign demands

00:34:34.200 and conflicts and

00:34:35.000 loyalties.

00:34:35.400 And if that passes for

00:34:36.180 a controversial statement

00:34:37.320 to anyone you know on

00:34:38.640 the right, then that

00:34:40.080 person is not actually

00:34:41.420 on the right.

00:34:42.120 they're not a

00:34:43.960 conservative.

00:34:45.860 In any sense, that

00:34:46.960 means anything to me.

00:34:48.520 What are we trying to

00:34:49.200 conserve?

00:34:51.180 Well, conserving our

00:34:52.000 national identity should

00:34:53.160 be really high up on the

00:34:55.500 list of the things that

00:34:56.460 we want to conserve.

00:34:57.160 And if that doesn't

00:34:57.640 interest you, then we're

00:34:59.140 just not fighting for

00:35:00.060 the same thing.

00:35:01.380 Two months after a

00:35:02.480 leader in our movement

00:35:03.200 was murdered in front of

00:35:04.800 the entire country,

00:35:06.420 these self-described

00:35:07.260 conservatives are

00:35:08.060 advancing the same

00:35:08.840 interests as the leftist 0.97

00:35:09.880 demons who killed him.

00:35:12.120 And we should reject 0.98

00:35:14.000 them just as

00:35:15.480 forcefully.

00:35:17.540 Now let's get to our

00:35:18.360 five headlines.

00:35:24.580 Do you remember the

00:35:25.440 great ammo shortage

00:35:26.440 of 2020?

00:35:27.980 Shelves were bare and

00:35:29.020 even online options

00:35:30.220 were wiped out.

00:35:31.000 Well, there's a

00:35:32.040 company making sure

00:35:33.020 that never happens

00:35:33.780 again.

00:35:33.960 It's called Ammo

00:35:34.660 Squared, and they've

00:35:35.620 been helping over

00:35:36.240 100,000 members

00:35:37.180 stockpile ammo

00:35:38.280 automatically since

00:35:39.360 2015.

00:35:39.960 Here's how it works.

00:35:40.960 You sign up, pick

00:35:41.780 your ammo from over

00:35:42.540 70 different

00:35:43.620 calibers, set an

00:35:44.520 auto-buy budget,

00:35:45.660 choose a shipping

00:35:46.180 frequency, or just

00:35:47.280 let it grow.

00:35:47.860 Over time, your ammo

00:35:48.940 accumulates and is

00:35:49.860 stored for free in

00:35:50.760 Ammo Squared's

00:35:51.440 climate-controlled

00:35:52.100 facilities in Texas

00:35:53.080 and Idaho until

00:35:54.200 you're ready to ship.

00:35:55.240 No minimums, no

00:35:56.200 extra fees.

00:35:56.840 It's perfect for

00:35:57.500 small budgets or

00:35:58.300 anyone who wants

00:35:59.380 to build up a

00:36:00.020 stockpile without

00:36:00.760 spending thousands

00:36:01.700 or hundreds of

00:36:02.480 dollars up front.

00:36:03.600 Setting up an

00:36:03.960 account is so simple

00:36:04.820 and straightforward.

00:36:05.460 Plus, they've got

00:36:06.400 so many different

00:36:07.000 ammunition options to

00:36:07.960 choose from, but it

00:36:08.980 practically negates

00:36:09.880 ever needing to

00:36:10.620 visit a store that

00:36:11.420 may or may not

00:36:12.100 have what I need

00:36:13.280 in stock.

00:36:13.700 Everything is right

00:36:14.320 there waiting for me

00:36:15.540 when I need it.

00:36:16.160 Plus, with the

00:36:16.820 holidays right around

00:36:17.340 the corner, it's the

00:36:17.980 perfect gift for the

00:36:19.120 gun lover in your

00:36:19.680 life.

00:36:19.880 It's the easiest way

00:36:20.560 to stay prepared

00:36:21.220 without the hassle.

00:36:31.440 We all know a person who

00:36:32.680 can't function without

00:36:33.820 their morning coffee.

00:36:35.180 We might be that

00:36:36.140 person, in fact, but

00:36:37.240 when they spend the

00:36:38.140 next two hours dealing

00:36:39.220 with the stomach issues

00:36:40.240 that come with it, it's

00:36:41.080 the same story every

00:36:41.840 morning.

00:36:42.420 Sacred ritual followed

00:36:43.560 by immediate regret.

00:36:45.100 No one is about to give

00:36:46.280 up their coffee routine,

00:36:47.300 but generally people also

00:36:48.940 aren't thrilled about

00:36:49.800 feeling like garbage for

00:36:50.860 half of the day, and

00:36:51.560 that's where Everyday

00:36:52.380 Dose comes in.

00:36:53.480 Everyday Dose is coffee

00:36:54.940 plus benefits.

00:36:56.020 They combine high-quality

00:36:57.420 coffee with powerful

00:36:58.360 ingredients like lion's

00:37:03.420 fuel your brain, boost

00:37:05.060 focus, and give you clean,

00:37:06.820 sustained energy all day

00:37:11.960 just clean and sustained

00:37:13.260 energy.

00:37:27.480 coffee, and the other

00:37:28.980 highlight here, more

00:37:29.780 important to me, is that

00:37:31.460 It really does.

00:37:31.940 It's finally a solution

00:37:32.680 that doesn't require

00:37:33.940 choosing between your

00:37:55.720 All right, a couple of

00:37:56.440 things to hit here.

00:37:57.420 Let's just start.

00:37:58.260 We'll start with this

00:37:58.820 just for fun.

00:38:00.260 Protesters outside of an

00:38:02.020 ICE facility in Portland

00:38:03.500 showed up over the

00:38:06.520 weekend to do whatever

00:38:09.980 this is exactly, but here

00:38:11.760 it is.

00:38:12.060 five, six, seven, now to the

00:38:29.180 grapevine.

00:38:31.480 Good job.

00:38:34.620 Stay here.

00:38:35.580 Lift up.

00:38:36.060 Now you're doing the routine.

00:38:38.720 You choreographed.

00:38:39.880 Good job.

00:38:41.500 Great time again.

00:38:44.960 Okay.

00:38:46.800 Well, if you're listening to

00:38:47.840 the audio podcast, you were

00:38:49.060 deprived of the visuals there

00:38:50.880 and I'll just tell you that

00:38:52.060 they're doing some kind of a

00:38:54.040 protest aerobics thing. 0.62

00:38:56.460 I don't know what it is

00:38:57.120 exactly outside of the ICE

00:38:58.320 detention facility.

00:39:00.120 They all woke up that morning.

00:39:01.800 I think this was on Saturday

00:39:02.560 and they said, you know what?

00:39:03.500 I'm going to go, I'm going

00:39:04.480 to get into my spandex and do

00:39:05.860 an 80s style aerobics workout

00:39:07.900 outside of an ICE facility.

00:39:08.940 And then that's what they

00:39:10.300 did.

00:39:11.380 And somehow this is probably

00:39:12.540 the most normal thing that

00:39:13.940 anyone in Portland did over

00:39:15.740 the weekend.

00:39:16.320 If you were to stop anyone in

00:39:17.720 Portland on Saturday morning

00:39:18.640 and ask them where they're

00:39:19.480 headed off to, you would be

00:39:21.560 the least disturbed by the

00:39:23.780 people that were on their

00:39:24.420 way to Antifa aerobics at the

00:39:26.340 ICE facility.

00:39:27.920 So that's the bright side.

00:39:28.920 The other bright side is that

00:39:29.720 they're all clothed.

00:39:32.160 They are all admirably clothed,

00:39:34.560 which is, you know, you got to

00:39:36.580 take the silver lining wherever

00:39:37.460 you get it and it's there.

00:39:39.900 I do wonder though, when I

00:39:43.020 watch that, that looks to be

00:39:44.020 about 20 people doing this

00:39:45.920 Antifa aerobics protest class.

00:39:49.620 Here's a fun riddle.

00:39:50.560 How many showers total do you

00:39:52.400 think this group has taken over

00:39:55.420 the past month?

00:39:56.000 I don't mean like taken

00:39:56.800 together, although you never

00:39:57.800 know with these people.

00:39:59.100 I mean, if you add up all the

00:40:00.040 showers taken individually by

00:40:01.520 every member over the past

00:40:03.340 month, how many showers total?

00:40:04.780 I'm going to put the over under

00:40:05.760 at like nine.

00:40:08.320 Nine or ten.

00:40:10.040 Basically, a little fewer than

00:40:11.260 half of them have taken one

00:40:13.300 shower this month.

00:40:14.260 That's my, which again, above

00:40:16.500 average for this demographic.

00:40:17.980 So even more silver lining.

00:40:22.200 And, you know, it's, you see

00:40:23.660 clips like this, it's easy to

00:40:25.460 laugh at these people.

00:40:26.540 It's easy and enjoyable and that

00:40:28.640 is the appropriate response.

00:40:29.780 But really, the joke is on us

00:40:33.340 if we cannot beat these people.

00:40:36.620 I mean, we all laugh at these

00:40:38.020 videos of leftist protesters

00:40:39.920 because it's always like the

00:40:41.220 cringiest collection of crusty 0.97

00:40:43.860 boomer hippies and sexual 1.00

00:40:46.220 degenerates and furry costumes. 0.99

00:40:49.320 And you laugh at it, but the joke

00:40:53.080 is on us if we cannot completely

00:40:54.960 destroy this movement.

00:40:56.360 If we cannot destroy this

00:40:59.980 movement, this compilation of the

00:41:01.900 most pitiful, out-of-shape 0.65

00:41:05.700 weirdos the world has ever seen, 0.82

00:41:08.260 then that's really on us.

00:41:10.700 That is, the joke is very much on

00:41:13.480 us at that point.

00:41:17.320 But there are things preventing us

00:41:18.820 from doing that effectively.

00:41:20.200 And that brings us to the second

00:41:21.540 thing here.

00:41:22.080 And, you know, as I mentioned in

00:41:24.000 the opening, I've been calling for

00:41:25.600 unity on the right.

00:41:27.840 My point has been that we should

00:41:29.400 train our fire metaphorically on

00:41:31.900 the left, but, and many people on

00:41:35.060 the right have just flat-out rejected

00:41:36.780 that, no interest in it.

00:41:38.440 Made that very clear to me.

00:41:40.000 Not only no interest, but have been

00:41:41.820 angry at me for even suggesting,

00:41:43.040 and they're still mad.

00:41:45.520 But I sent out a tweet about it a

00:41:46.800 month ago, and there are still people

00:41:48.460 angry about it, like really angry.

00:41:50.080 Um, so, okay.

00:41:55.200 But I've also said, and if you

00:41:56.460 listen to the show, you know this,

00:41:57.500 you heard me say this from the

00:41:58.380 start, that this, uh, kind of no

00:42:00.080 enemies to the right idea cannot

00:42:02.480 apply to politicians.

00:42:05.000 At least not totally.

00:42:06.020 Because politicians, our elected

00:42:07.620 representatives, need to be held

00:42:09.380 accountable.

00:42:09.860 I mean, these are, these are people

00:42:11.260 in public office.

00:42:12.560 They've been elected.

00:42:13.280 They've been put there.

00:42:14.880 And, uh, we need to keep them

00:42:16.680 accountable.

00:42:17.060 Um, our unity with them is entirely

00:42:22.800 conditional.

00:42:23.840 It's conditioned on them doing what

00:42:25.800 we need and want them to do.

00:42:29.440 They work for us.

00:42:30.600 At least that's how it's supposed to

00:42:31.580 be.

00:42:34.020 And I've always said this about

00:42:35.440 politicians.

00:42:36.060 I, loyalty, people talk about,

00:42:39.380 loyalty is important.

00:42:40.640 And I've, and I've discussed that.

00:42:42.240 Loyalty is very important.

00:42:44.580 Loyalty to your friends, to your

00:42:45.900 family, to your nation.

00:42:47.940 Very important.

00:42:49.440 Loyalty to politicians, on the

00:42:50.880 other hand, is not a thing or

00:42:52.720 shouldn't be.

00:42:53.500 Loyalty should go the other way.

00:42:55.260 They need to be loyal to us.

00:42:57.800 We aren't loyal to them.

00:43:00.600 And they got to keep proving

00:43:01.740 themselves.

00:43:03.060 And look, if, if that, uh, if you

00:43:06.480 don't like that idea, if you don't

00:43:07.600 want to have to keep proving

00:43:08.960 yourself, if you're the kind of

00:43:10.240 person that feels offended when

00:43:12.600 you, you know, you do a few things

00:43:13.780 that your constituents like, and

00:43:15.440 then you do something they don't

00:43:16.280 like, and they start yelling at you

00:43:17.560 and you get offended, it feels

00:43:19.480 ungrateful.

00:43:20.100 If that's the way you feel about it,

00:43:21.440 then don't, then just don't run for

00:43:22.820 office because that's the gig.

00:43:26.520 Um, you get graded every day and if

00:43:29.900 you get a bad grade, you're going to

00:43:30.900 find out about it.

00:43:31.860 And if you don't like that, then

00:43:33.440 don't, no one forced you to be a

00:43:35.000 politician.

00:43:36.420 That's the gig.

00:43:37.180 That's the job.

00:43:37.840 Um, so with that in mind, we turn

00:43:40.760 to Marjorie Taylor Greene and, uh,

00:43:42.700 she's been in a war of words with

00:43:43.980 president Trump and I don't really

00:43:46.540 care about that.

00:43:47.180 Frankly, I also have, I also like

00:43:49.200 Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:43:50.080 Usually I think she's done, um, I

00:43:53.260 think she's done some great work, but

00:43:54.940 she's, she's moving in a direction

00:43:56.660 right now that again, as a politician,

00:43:58.620 as an elected representative, I just

00:44:01.160 can't abide.

00:44:01.880 Uh, a couple of weeks ago, she was on

00:44:04.520 the view and had a nice conversation

00:44:06.400 with the ladies on the view and that

00:44:09.160 was, that was odd.

00:44:11.100 I didn't, I didn't, I didn't call it

00:44:12.260 out at the, at the time.

00:44:13.820 Uh, I found it disappointing.

00:44:15.240 I didn't think it was necessarily

00:44:15.900 worth hitting her over. 0.97

00:44:17.620 Uh, but, but there was no, you know,

00:44:20.420 she sat down with the view that had

00:44:21.260 a nice conversation, didn't call them

00:44:22.840 out, no fireworks, no, no rhetorical

00:44:25.020 punches thrown.

00:44:26.360 They just had a nice, nice little talk.

00:44:29.460 Kind of strange, but yeah, you think,

00:44:32.620 okay, well, whatever.

00:44:34.560 Maybe I'll let that slide.

00:44:36.400 Um, it's all, it's also, I take it

00:44:39.280 like personally on a personal level.

00:44:40.980 I don't like, cause as you know, I

00:44:42.300 have been auditioning for the view.

00:44:45.180 I put on my audition table like a

00:44:47.100 month ago when they claimed they were

00:44:49.140 looking for more conservatives.

00:44:51.200 And I, I, I, you know, I, I sent out

00:44:54.040 my appeal, which is very heartfelt and

00:44:55.780 genuine, as you know, and I've been

00:44:58.340 waiting for my chance to get on that

00:44:59.640 show.

00:45:02.600 Finally, they have someone from the

00:45:03.840 right on the show and, uh, and we get

00:45:06.340 no, we get nothing, nothing interesting

00:45:10.440 happened at all.

00:45:12.180 They got along and enjoyed each other's

00:45:14.760 company.

00:45:17.080 So, okay, fine.

00:45:18.720 But then this happened.

00:45:19.780 So she appeared on CNN over the weekend

00:45:21.860 and, uh, listen to this exchange.

00:45:25.000 You posted on X that President Trump is

00:45:29.520 with his comments, fueling a quote, hot

00:45:32.200 bed of threats against you.

00:45:34.300 Obviously any threats to your safety are

00:45:36.580 completely unacceptable, but we have seen

00:45:39.440 these kinds of attacks or criticism from

00:45:42.600 the president at other people.

00:45:44.840 It's not new.

00:45:45.920 And with respect, I haven't heard you speak

00:45:48.480 out about it until it was directed at you.

00:45:51.020 Dana, I think that's fair criticism.

00:45:57.520 And I would like to say humbly, I'm sorry

00:46:00.700 for taking part in the toxic, uh, politics.

00:46:05.920 It's, it's very bad for our country.

00:46:08.460 Um, and I've, it's been something I've

00:46:10.820 thought about a lot, especially since

00:46:12.920 Charlie Kirk was assassinated is that we,

00:46:16.380 I'm only responsible for myself and my own

00:46:19.280 words and actions and I am going, I am

00:46:22.660 committed and I've been working on this

00:46:24.560 a lot lately to put down the knives

00:46:27.540 in politics.

00:46:28.240 I really just want to see people be

00:46:31.300 kind to one another and we need to

00:46:33.440 figure out a new path forward that is

00:46:36.280 focused on the American people because

00:46:38.320 as Americans, no matter what side of

00:46:40.680 the aisle we're on, we have far more in

00:46:43.320 common than we have differences and we

00:46:46.840 need to be able to respect each other with

00:46:49.060 our disagreements.

00:46:50.100 So just to put a button on this, you

00:46:52.020 regret the things that you have said and

00:46:54.820 posted in the past.

00:46:56.020 The Facebook, uh, post that was taken

00:46:58.740 down of you in 2020 holding a gun

00:47:01.080 alongside, uh, the squad, encouraging

00:47:03.900 people to go on the offense against the

00:47:06.280 socialists, liking, uh, a tweet of

00:47:09.160 somebody calling for the execution of

00:47:10.920 Nancy Pelosi and former President Obama.

00:47:12.920 Just examples.

00:47:13.600 Well, Dana, as you know, and many people

00:47:19.240 know, I addressed that back in 2021 and of

00:47:23.560 course, um, I never want to cause any harm

00:47:26.640 or, or anything bad for anyone.

00:47:28.560 So that, that was addressed back then.

00:47:31.040 And I very much stand by my words.

00:47:32.640 I said then, and I stand by my words today.

00:47:35.060 I think America needs to come together and

00:47:38.600 end all the toxic, dangerous rhetoric and

00:47:41.900 divide.

00:47:42.400 And I'm leading the way with my own

00:47:44.560 example.

00:47:45.200 And I hope that president Trump can do the

00:47:47.140 same.

00:47:50.560 Uh, amazing.

00:47:53.440 Okay.

00:47:54.440 So just to review here, Charlie Kirk was

00:47:56.260 assassinated.

00:47:57.060 The left spent weeks celebrating in the

00:48:00.140 mainstream, not on the fringes, celebrating

00:48:04.460 en masse across the country.

00:48:06.620 Then they proceed to elect an attorney

00:48:08.280 general openly fantasized about killing his 0.99

00:48:10.520 political opponents and their children. 0.87

00:48:12.160 This is on the heels of years of political

00:48:14.320 violence and making excuses for political

00:48:16.880 violence, BLM, Antifa, attacks on Tesla

00:48:20.300 dealerships, on pro-life organizations.

00:48:22.400 So on and so on.

00:48:24.740 And after all that, Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:48:26.420 goes on CNN and apologizes to them for her

00:48:32.300 toxic rhetoric.

00:48:35.080 CNN is responsible for running cover for this

00:48:38.200 violent rhetoric from the left.

00:48:39.920 CNN is one of the worst offenders.

00:48:42.600 CNN gave us the fiery, but mostly peaceful

00:48:45.240 line.

00:48:47.800 Okay.

00:48:48.480 The infamous line, fiery, most, most peaceful

00:48:50.720 came from CNN.

00:48:53.400 They've never apologized for that.

00:48:55.140 They've never acknowledged it.

00:48:56.300 There's never been any walk back at all.

00:49:00.900 But when this smarmy anchor brings up toxic

00:49:03.820 rhetoric, Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't bring 1.00

00:49:07.140 that up.

00:49:08.560 Doesn't call them out.

00:49:11.140 Doesn't throw it back in their face.

00:49:13.720 Doesn't take the opportunity to boldly stand up

00:49:16.120 to the corporate media, which is responsible for

00:49:18.520 about a million times more toxic rhetoric than any

00:49:22.960 Republican.

00:49:25.780 Doesn't do that.

00:49:26.780 Instead, she apologizes.

00:49:28.620 On CNN. 0.93

00:49:31.540 Groveling before this snide, gross news anchor who sits 0.96

00:49:35.320 there smirking. 0.99

00:49:36.620 She's loving every second of it.

00:49:38.960 She can't believe her luck.

00:49:40.340 That she's talking to a Republican and she makes this point

00:49:45.820 where, like, as a CNN anchor, you are so vulnerable making

00:49:49.680 a point like that.

00:49:50.800 There are a million comebacks that Marjorie Taylor Greene could 0.83

00:49:54.740 have used.

00:49:56.220 And instead, she says, you know what?

00:49:57.440 You're right.

00:49:57.860 I'm so sorry.

00:50:00.100 It's like, what?

00:50:02.300 What?

00:50:03.660 What are you doing?

00:50:06.440 Now, there is not any flattering interpretation of this, I'm afraid

00:50:09.480 to say.

00:50:09.920 This is not leading by example, okay?

00:50:12.400 This is not, and this is one of the many problems with all the fighting,

00:50:20.460 all the infighting on the right, is that now because Marjorie Taylor

00:50:23.440 Greene and President Trump are having a thing, and some people are

00:50:25.700 on her side and some are on Trump's side.

00:50:27.280 And so the people that are on Marjorie Taylor's Greene side, some

00:50:31.000 of them are trying to defend this.

00:50:32.660 Well, we all know.

00:50:33.600 Like, what?

00:50:35.240 You went on CNN and apologized for toxic rhetoric on CNN?

00:50:38.920 I mean, we all know that's totally unacceptable.

00:50:41.200 It's insane.

00:50:42.100 We all know that.

00:50:43.140 And there are even some people on the right that are trying to

00:50:45.000 say, well, you know, but I don't know.

00:50:47.180 I mean, I think that this is, oh, stop it.

00:50:49.160 Stop.

00:50:49.620 What are you doing?

00:50:51.900 Please.

00:50:52.220 Please.

00:50:53.440 What are you doing?

00:50:55.880 This is not leading by example, okay?

00:50:58.960 You are setting an example, but it's horrendous because the example

00:51:04.560 is allowing yourself to be used as a stooge, allowing yourself to be

00:51:11.640 humiliated by people who despise you, okay?

00:51:16.800 Not in a self-effacing, Christ-like, humble sort of manner, 0.96

00:51:21.340 but in a cowardly way.

00:51:23.220 This is not Christ-like.

00:51:25.420 Jesus would not do this. 0.98

00:51:29.780 Entertaining hypocrites, which is what CNN, that's what they are. 1.00

00:51:34.940 Hypocrites, and hypocrites in the actual definitional sense, 1.00

00:51:38.300 not hypocrites in the sense of saying one thing and doing another. 1.00

00:51:41.320 Hypocrite in the sense of claiming to believe something you don't really believe. 1.00

00:51:44.800 That's what a hypocrite is. 1.00

00:51:45.980 And when CNN gets up there and says, well, all this toxic rhetoric is very troubling, 1.00

00:51:50.280 they are hypocrites. 0.99

00:51:53.240 Okay? 0.99

00:51:53.520 This is not Christ-like.

00:51:54.460 Jesus would have called them out on that.

00:51:56.700 It's all over the Gospels. 0.78

00:52:00.180 Jesus did not suffer hypocrites.

00:52:02.580 And when the hypocrites want him to play a game, he's not going to play it.

00:52:06.240 He's not going to sit there and say, well, you're right. 1.00

00:52:08.240 No, he would have said, no, you're a hypocrite. 1.00

00:52:09.860 I'm not going to play this game for you. 1.00

00:52:11.560 Absolutely not.

00:52:13.900 I don't need to speculate about what Jesus would do.

00:52:17.080 Read the Gospels.

00:52:17.860 It's all over it.

00:52:21.500 So this is not Christ-like.

00:52:23.060 This is not anything.

00:52:23.940 This is not setting a Christian example. 0.86

00:52:26.380 This is cowardly. 0.75

00:52:28.260 This is someone who wants to keep getting invited onto CNN.

00:52:32.140 I mean, there's just no other way to explain it.

00:52:33.880 There's no other possible way.

00:52:35.760 Because if Marjorie had called Dana Bash out on her nonsense,

00:52:40.620 if she'd said something like, oh, toxic rhetoric?

00:52:43.540 Well, have you asked every Democrat in the country

00:52:45.520 why they still haven't announced the attorney general of Virginia

00:52:48.820 who wants to murder conservatives

00:52:50.540 and watch their children die in their arms? 0.97

00:52:52.660 Have you gotten that?

00:52:54.060 Let's talk about that first.

00:52:56.340 Okay, let's talk about that.

00:52:59.640 If she'd done that,

00:53:00.780 she never would have been invited on CNN ever again.

00:53:03.980 And the only way to interpret this performance

00:53:05.720 is through that lens.

00:53:06.920 She wants to go on CNN.

00:53:07.920 She wants to go back on The View.

00:53:09.540 And look, that's intoxicating, I guess.

00:53:12.920 I've never been in any of those.

00:53:14.300 I don't get invited on CNN at all.

00:53:18.040 Okay, that's the first thing.

00:53:19.760 They don't make invitations to me.

00:53:21.700 I don't get to go on CNN.

00:53:23.940 And even though I've made my audition tape for The View,

00:53:26.720 I don't think there's going to be an invitation forthcoming.

00:53:29.480 Um, but I can see, as anyone can,

00:53:35.160 that, um, yeah, being in these kind of mainstream

00:53:38.660 places, even on CNN,

00:53:42.980 where they have got like 10 viewers now, still,

00:53:45.600 it's kind of mainstream,

00:53:47.080 it's got a certain, um,

00:53:48.940 it's got a certain, whatever, uh, appeal

00:53:52.840 because of that.

00:53:55.780 And, yeah, you want to keep going on.

00:53:59.960 And I think Marjorie Taylor Greene

00:54:01.460 has started getting a little bit of

00:54:03.200 the strange new respect from the left.

00:54:07.900 And, you know, she went up,

00:54:09.260 she's been a couple of places,

00:54:10.380 she's attacking Republicans, 0.64

00:54:11.440 she goes on The View, has a nice time.

00:54:14.000 Next thing you know, CNN's calling her up. 0.74

00:54:15.680 And I'm sure they're saying very flattering things

00:54:18.660 also behind the scenes.

00:54:21.220 And, um,

00:54:22.220 so she wants to lean into that.

00:54:24.600 I mean, that's the only way to interpret this.

00:54:27.520 Because if you really feel called to apologize

00:54:29.660 for things you've said or done in the past,

00:54:32.660 well, go ahead and do it.

00:54:34.020 I mean, no one would tell you not to.

00:54:37.540 I don't really think she has anything to apologize for,

00:54:39.660 but if she really feels called to do that,

00:54:42.180 then go ahead and do that.

00:54:43.340 But to do it on CNN,

00:54:45.380 to dance like a monkey for that audience,

00:54:48.640 to go on CNN and have them say,

00:54:51.460 okay, monkey dance,

00:54:52.620 yeah, apologize.

00:54:54.340 And then to do it,

00:54:55.920 to debase yourself

00:54:57.700 and the movement you're supposed to represent

00:54:59.440 in that forum is just inexcusable.

00:55:01.720 This does set an example,

00:55:03.120 that's true,

00:55:04.040 but the example is the one CNN wants to set.

00:55:07.100 Okay, the example is not,

00:55:10.880 oh, we should all come together as Americans.

00:55:12.900 No, CNN wants to set the example

00:55:14.840 that Republicans are responsible

00:55:16.160 for the toxic rhetoric

00:55:17.220 and they need to apologize.

00:55:19.440 That is the thing

00:55:21.360 that CNN is trying to communicate.

00:55:23.140 That's why you're there.

00:55:24.680 And so you can either give them what they want

00:55:26.920 and say, okay, I'll be used by you, sure.

00:55:29.820 Or you could say, no,

00:55:31.000 I'm not going to give you that.

00:55:31.740 So this is,

00:55:39.120 she confirmed and boosted their narrative,

00:55:42.700 which is, I mean,

00:55:45.020 it's like the unforgivable sin.

00:55:46.840 I can't, going on CNN and apologizing.

00:55:49.880 There's, look, I can,

00:55:51.180 I could try to overlook a lot of things,

00:55:55.400 but groveling public apologies,

00:55:58.660 you know, I've always said this,

00:55:59.740 groveling public apologies,

00:56:00.940 that's one of those things.

00:56:02.000 I just can't, I can't.

00:56:03.620 That's unforgivable.

00:56:04.700 It just is.

00:56:06.020 And doing it on CNN of all places

00:56:07.820 to that woman of all people

00:56:10.420 is just unforgivable.

00:56:13.460 It won't surprise you to learn

00:56:14.680 that I'm not the guy

00:56:15.500 who keeps up with the best holiday sales

00:56:17.500 and plan out all the stores to visit

00:56:20.000 for gift giving season.

00:56:23.540 is actually one of the many perks of marriage.

00:56:28.120 you should get married,

00:56:28.820 actually, if you're a man,

00:58:18.560 Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:58:26.920 Recently, we discussed the new concept called mankeeping.

00:58:30.900 It's a new concept that really is just a new 0.86

00:58:33.820 and quite stupid term for a very old concept. 0.98

00:58:36.840 It's the concept that women in a romantic relationship 1.00

00:58:39.040 should care for and about the men

00:58:42.160 that they are in a relationship with.

00:58:43.960 And for as long as human relationships have existed,

00:58:45.960 this has always been a feature of them.

00:58:47.780 Indeed, caring for and about the other person

00:58:49.840 isn't just a feature of a relationship.

00:58:51.900 It is the relationship.

00:58:54.880 But in our self-centered, misinterested, feminist dystopia, 0.97

00:58:59.860 women caring for and about their own husbands 0.99

00:59:01.820 is considered controversial.

00:59:03.940 It is no longer the very essence of the relationship itself,

00:59:06.720 but a sign that somehow the relationship has gone wrong.

00:59:09.240 If you're a woman in a relationship

00:59:11.160 and you find that your relationship feels like a relationship,

00:59:14.780 then that is unfair to you.

00:59:16.840 You are the victim of mankeeping.

00:59:19.340 Over the weekend, Vice tweeted this caption

00:59:22.220 along with a link to an article about mankeeping.

00:59:24.600 And the caption says,

00:59:25.560 quote,

00:59:26.100 Managing his stress, interpreting his moods,

00:59:28.360 holding his hand through feelings

00:59:29.720 he won't share with anybody else,

00:59:31.300 all of it unpaid, unacknowledged,

00:59:33.280 and often unreciprocated.

00:59:35.020 Is it any wonder women are fed up? 1.00

00:59:37.020 Yes, interpreting moods,

00:59:40.900 listening to them talk about their feelings,

00:59:43.700 dealing with their stress.

00:59:46.420 Well, it's a good thing men never have to do any of that for women.

00:59:49.980 Women, of course, are famously stoic 1.00

00:59:52.440 and reserved about their emotions.

00:59:55.300 So men don't have to deal with this.

00:59:56.640 I wish I had a dollar for every time a male friend has said to me,

01:00:00.020 Man, I wish my wife would just open up about her feelings a little bit more. 1.00

01:00:03.480 You know, she never tells me how she feels.

01:00:04.840 And her mood never fluctuates either.

01:00:08.500 Just stone-cold, totally even keel all the time.

01:00:12.920 I've heard that from so many men.

01:00:15.280 And by so many, I mean none ever at any point.

01:00:18.140 Because, of course, men have done this for the women in their lives

01:00:21.900 every day, all day since the dawn of humanity itself.

01:00:26.800 Yet the term womankeeping was never coined.

01:00:29.480 And if it had been, it would have been condemned as horrific sexism

01:00:33.100 by precisely all of the women who are now using the term mankeeping.

01:00:38.400 This double standard has not occurred to them.

01:00:40.800 Or if it has, they don't care.

01:00:42.560 Vice explains, quote,

01:00:43.920 Researchers at Stanford have finally given a name

01:00:45.960 to something many women have been dealing with for years.

01:00:47.880 It's called mankeeping.

01:00:49.460 And it's helping explain why so many women are stepping away from dating altogether. 1.00

01:00:53.100 Mankeeping describes the emotional labor women end up doing in heterosexual relationships.

01:00:57.240 It goes beyond remembering birthdays or coordinating social plans.

01:01:00.300 It means being your partner's one-man support system.

01:01:03.360 Managing his stress, interpreting his moods,

01:01:04.920 holding his hand through feelings he won't share with anybody else,

01:01:06.960 all of it unpaid, unacknowed, and often unreciprocated.

01:01:09.000 Now, you notice there, and just a side note,

01:01:13.180 you notice how the word unpaid so often comes up

01:01:17.720 in these feminist lamentations about the alleged unfairness of heterosexual relationships. 1.00

01:01:23.880 Many times we talk about this sort of thing in the daily cancellation.

01:01:26.600 That word comes up, unpaid.

01:01:29.620 Now, a sane person who does not suffer from a psychotic level of bitterness and narcissism

01:01:35.280 would not even think to complain that the emotional support they offer to their spouse

01:01:41.900 or their girlfriend or boyfriend is unpaid.

01:01:45.940 Even at their most selfish, their most self-pitying,

01:01:48.800 the thought, I can't believe my spouse isn't paying me to care about them,

01:01:53.320 wouldn't cross their mind.

01:01:55.240 And if their spouse did offer such a payment,

01:01:58.100 they would be shocked and appalled and most of all, like, really confused.

01:02:03.160 I'm trying to imagine how my wife would react if I had a heart-to-heart talk with her. 1.00

01:02:08.220 And then after our conversation, as it concluded, I said,

01:02:13.040 so what's your hourly rate? Is it $100? Is that fair? Here you go.

01:02:18.380 Now, she might laugh, but more likely she would probably cry

01:02:22.860 because she would realize that I'd finally lost my mind.

01:02:26.460 The point is that this unpaid labor thing,

01:02:29.060 when applied to marriages and parenting,

01:02:31.080 which is the other context where feminists often use the term, 1.00

01:02:34.080 is total insanity.

01:02:35.680 And it also reveals perhaps the deepest truth about the left-wing feminist, 0.51

01:02:39.560 which is that, just to be totally frank about this, 1.00

01:02:44.040 the left-wing feminist aspires to nothing so much as to be a whore. 1.00

01:02:49.140 She wants her husband to pay her for paying attention to him. 1.00

01:02:53.380 She wants to be a prostitute. 1.00

01:02:55.080 Now, with OnlyFans, many of them actually do become prostitutes. 1.00

01:02:59.940 The rest of them choose other careers,

01:03:01.560 perhaps because they've decided, rightly in many cases,

01:03:03.640 that they're not physically attractive enough

01:03:05.420 to prostitute themselves in the most literal sense.

01:03:07.960 But prostitution, in some form or another, 0.95

01:03:10.940 remains the great dream of every liberal feminist. 0.97

01:03:13.980 Here's a little more from the article, quote,

01:03:17.480 The root of the issue is tied to what experts are calling

01:03:20.660 the male loneliness epidemic.

01:03:22.400 As more men report having fewer close friendships,

01:03:24.520 romantic partners are expected to pick up the slack.

01:03:27.040 Instead of processing with friends,

01:03:28.400 many men offload everything onto the women they're dating.

01:03:31.100 She becomes his entire emotional infrastructure.

01:03:33.360 Plenty of women are no longer interested in that dynamic. 1.00

01:03:35.880 According to Pew Research,

01:03:36.800 only 38% of single women in the U.S. 1.00

01:03:38.580 are currently looking for a relationship.

01:03:40.360 Among single men, that number jumps to 61%.

01:03:43.040 The gap says a lot.

01:03:44.780 Women aren't opting out of love, 1.00

01:03:46.080 they're opting out of being someone's therapist with benefits.

01:03:49.620 The Guardian calls mankeeping

01:03:50.880 a modern extension of emotional labor,

01:03:53.160 one that turns a partner into a life coach.

01:03:55.420 This isn't about avoiding vulnerability,

01:03:57.180 it's about refusing to carry someone else's emotional weight

01:03:59.420 while getting little to nothing in return.

01:04:01.720 And there's nothing wrong with feeling that way.

01:04:06.060 Well, actually, there is.

01:04:07.880 There's a lot wrong with feeling that way.

01:04:10.380 And look, the last time we talked about

01:04:11.840 this mankeeping nonsense,

01:04:13.140 we established, as we have again in this segment,

01:04:14.860 that the women who use the term

01:04:17.500 or complain in any way

01:04:18.960 about having to show the slightest concern

01:04:21.200 for the men they chose to marry

01:04:22.620 or even to date 1.00

01:04:24.420 are selfish, horrible cretins. 1.00

01:04:28.060 And that is the primary and most obvious takeaway. 1.00

01:04:32.160 For many stories like this,

01:04:33.480 the first takeaway

01:04:34.420 and the first one that most people go to,

01:04:36.880 rightly so,

01:04:37.540 is,

01:04:38.140 oh, well, 0.99

01:04:38.720 feminism is terrible. 1.00

01:04:40.920 Because it is. 1.00

01:04:41.760 feminism has made women, 1.00

01:04:44.220 not all women,

01:04:44.900 but the women in its grasp, 0.97

01:04:46.040 into selfish, entitled, resentful, 1.00

01:04:48.140 greedy egomaniacs 0.99

01:04:49.200 who demand financial compensation 0.89

01:04:50.840 for performing their wifely

01:04:51.960 and motherly duties. 0.98

01:04:53.680 So that is the most important point.

01:04:56.600 But

01:04:56.700 there is something else going on here

01:04:59.540 that I don't think we really got into

01:05:01.320 the first time we talked about this.

01:05:02.440 women are also complaining more 0.94

01:05:05.840 about men being emotionally vulnerable

01:05:07.740 because

01:05:08.840 a lot more men

01:05:10.660 are emotionally vulnerable.

01:05:13.260 For many decades,

01:05:14.500 men have been encouraged,

01:05:15.680 not just encouraged,

01:05:16.500 but harangued,

01:05:17.400 nagged

01:05:17.900 to soften

01:05:19.600 and open up

01:05:20.660 and

01:05:20.860 be more honest

01:05:22.380 about how they feel.

01:05:24.140 And

01:05:24.540 this has been going on

01:05:25.560 for a long time.

01:05:26.860 It was always a trap.

01:05:29.440 And there were a lot of us

01:05:30.620 who were saying,

01:05:31.240 this is a trap, guys.

01:05:32.080 Don't fall for it.

01:05:33.920 And unfortunately,

01:05:35.240 a lot of men didn't listen to us 0.99

01:05:36.420 and they've fallen into it.

01:05:38.680 It's undoubtedly true

01:05:39.920 that all of the women

01:05:40.920 complaining about mankeeping 0.99

01:05:42.160 are despicable feminist harpies, 1.00

01:05:44.280 but 1.00

01:05:44.460 this is also undoubtedly true.

01:05:47.540 No woman on the planet 1.00

01:05:49.160 actually wants her husband 1.00

01:05:51.920 to be as emotionally vulnerable

01:05:53.880 with her

01:05:54.720 as she is with him.

01:05:59.100 And

01:05:59.260 so there is a double standard here.

01:06:01.580 And

01:06:01.960 I'm not talking about

01:06:03.060 the feminist double standard. 0.75

01:06:04.920 I mean,

01:06:05.480 there's another

01:06:07.000 like deeper double standard

01:06:08.280 that is

01:06:09.340 hardwired.

01:06:10.480 It's ingrained

01:06:11.060 into us biologically.

01:06:13.640 Any woman

01:06:14.520 whose husband

01:06:15.140 leans on her emotionally

01:06:16.520 to the same degree

01:06:18.000 and in the same way

01:06:19.320 that she leans on him

01:06:21.400 will feel

01:06:23.080 exhausted

01:06:23.740 and overwhelmed

01:06:24.340 and ultimately resentful

01:06:25.600 because of it.

01:06:26.160 And that's not her fault.

01:06:28.740 It's nature.

01:06:30.760 Men and women

01:06:31.200 are different.

01:06:33.180 Okay,

01:06:33.340 this is the revelation

01:06:34.160 that we always come back to.

01:06:35.820 Men and women

01:06:36.500 are actually different.

01:06:38.540 A woman 0.57

01:06:39.300 with an overly sensitive

01:06:40.480 and emotionally frail husband

01:06:41.780 will feel

01:06:43.180 like she's carrying

01:06:44.420 a disproportionate amount

01:06:45.740 of the emotional weight

01:06:46.700 in the marriage

01:06:47.260 when in fact

01:06:48.400 it's technically equal weight.

01:06:50.720 Right?

01:06:51.860 So he's doing with her

01:06:53.380 what she does with him 0.99

01:06:54.140 so technically it's equal.

01:06:57.020 She's not going to feel like that.

01:06:58.460 She's going to feel like

01:06:59.180 she's carrying

01:06:59.800 way more of it

01:07:01.480 for the same reason

01:07:03.120 that like if I ask my wife 0.99

01:07:04.520 to help me move

01:07:05.440 a couch downstairs

01:07:06.320 she will strain

01:07:08.520 under the weight of the couch

01:07:09.520 much more than I will.

01:07:11.180 It will feel like

01:07:12.080 an unequal burden

01:07:13.120 even though we're both

01:07:14.160 carrying the same amount of weight.

01:07:15.520 The difference is that

01:07:16.300 I'm a man.

01:07:18.340 I was built to move couches.

01:07:19.880 Because

01:07:20.000 she was not.

01:07:21.900 And so it's harder for her

01:07:23.040 and that's not because

01:07:24.260 she's selfish or flawed 0.90

01:07:25.500 in some way.

01:07:26.900 It's not her fault.

01:07:28.080 She's just different.

01:07:28.860 She's a woman. 0.82

01:07:29.880 It's harder for her

01:07:30.820 to move the couch.

01:07:32.900 And emotional weight

01:07:33.920 is the same sort of thing.

01:07:36.060 You know,

01:07:36.300 if your wife unloads

01:07:37.300 all of her fears

01:07:37.960 and anxieties onto you

01:07:39.100 and you unload

01:07:40.120 all of yours onto her

01:07:41.400 she will feel like

01:07:44.000 she's carrying

01:07:45.000 an undue amount

01:07:45.740 of the burden

01:07:46.500 even though it's equal.

01:07:47.760 But it's not really equal

01:07:48.780 because, again,

01:07:50.180 she's a woman

01:07:50.780 and you're a man.

01:07:51.640 You're supposed to carry 1.00

01:07:52.820 an unequal amount

01:07:55.560 of the fear and worry.

01:07:58.920 You're supposed to.

01:07:59.980 You're built for that

01:08:00.880 as a man.

01:08:02.700 You're not supposed to

01:08:04.220 go home

01:08:05.500 and tell your wife

01:08:06.960 about every last thing

01:08:08.360 you're worried about

01:08:09.620 and stressed about.

01:08:11.140 There are supposed to be things

01:08:12.480 that you just keep to yourself

01:08:13.720 and you carry as a man.

01:08:14.900 That's what men are supposed to.

01:08:15.740 That's what men have always done.

01:08:18.780 That's what women 1.00

01:08:19.740 expect men to do.

01:08:21.480 Even if they won't say it

01:08:22.640 because they feel bad

01:08:23.320 saying it.

01:08:23.640 They don't even know that.

01:08:24.540 Even if they don't

01:08:25.300 at this point

01:08:25.800 know that they want that

01:08:27.060 because their minds

01:08:28.680 are so frayed by feminism

01:08:30.200 it still is

01:08:31.620 it's biological.

01:08:33.920 Now,

01:08:34.140 I've used this example

01:08:35.000 a few times

01:08:35.560 because I think it illustrates

01:08:36.320 the point effectively

01:08:37.180 because anytime I say this

01:08:38.720 there's always people

01:08:39.540 objecting, of course.

01:08:41.620 So how could you say

01:08:42.260 that men are supposed to 0.98

01:08:43.260 oh, men should open up

01:08:45.160 and why can't they open up

01:08:46.420 and be honest

01:08:47.980 about how they feel?

01:08:49.180 Well,

01:08:49.780 here's the example

01:08:51.420 I think kind of illustrates this.

01:08:52.580 If you're a married man

01:08:53.540 you have probably seen

01:08:56.260 your wife cry. 0.90

01:08:58.900 You've probably seen her cry

01:09:00.020 many times

01:09:00.780 in general

01:09:01.940 but you've probably seen

01:09:03.720 times when she's cried

01:09:04.780 because she had

01:09:05.660 a stressful day

01:09:06.460 and I don't mean that

01:09:07.440 it's because anything

01:09:08.220 traumatic occurred

01:09:09.380 to her.

01:09:10.400 We're not talking about that.

01:09:12.300 Trauma is one thing.

01:09:13.800 But I mean

01:09:13.980 she just had a stressful day.

01:09:15.940 Like nothing really terrible

01:09:16.840 happened.

01:09:17.180 It's just a stressful day.

01:09:18.700 And there's nothing

01:09:19.280 unusual about this.

01:09:21.400 Right?

01:09:21.680 And as the husband

01:09:22.460 it's not difficult

01:09:23.940 for you to deal with.

01:09:25.440 She wants to be comforted

01:09:26.500 so you comfort her.

01:09:27.240 She's looking for someone 0.91

01:09:28.300 who's, you know

01:09:28.720 she just wants you 1.00

01:09:29.340 to be a solid

01:09:30.360 you know

01:09:31.240 presence

01:09:31.680 and

01:09:32.000 a strong presence

01:09:34.500 and so she's just

01:09:35.380 kind of offloading

01:09:36.220 the stress that she has.

01:09:37.600 All of that is normal.

01:09:39.800 Now

01:09:40.200 on the flip side

01:09:41.120 we all understand

01:09:42.900 on a visceral level

01:09:44.000 that it would be

01:09:45.860 bizarre and upsetting

01:09:47.120 for your wife

01:09:48.900 if you came home

01:09:50.660 from work

01:09:51.180 and started crying

01:09:52.300 over the stress

01:09:53.440 that you're feeling.

01:09:54.340 And not because

01:09:54.740 something actually

01:09:55.220 traumatic happened.

01:09:55.980 I don't mean that

01:09:56.540 okay you're a cop

01:09:57.780 and there was something

01:09:58.620 horrible and someone

01:09:59.580 died and you know

01:10:00.340 we're not talking

01:10:00.960 about that.

01:10:01.300 I just mean

01:10:02.080 you had a tough day

01:10:03.180 at the office

01:10:03.640 like normal stress.

01:10:06.540 Okay if you came home

01:10:07.520 and started

01:10:07.920 and you were crying

01:10:09.820 and your wife said

01:10:11.580 what's wrong

01:10:12.280 I just had a really hard day

01:10:13.640 it's just a tough day

01:10:14.760 there's a lot going on

01:10:15.680 and you're just

01:10:16.840 sobbing

01:10:17.760 on your couch 0.56

01:10:18.680 in front of your wife 0.86

01:10:19.880 and your children

01:10:20.500 I think we all

01:10:21.960 understand viscerally

01:10:22.840 that that's

01:10:23.320 you shouldn't do that

01:10:24.100 as a man.

01:10:26.140 Well are you saying

01:10:26.780 it's okay for a woman

01:10:27.760 to do but not a man?

01:10:28.720 Yes.

01:10:30.180 Absolutely.

01:10:31.220 That's exactly

01:10:32.060 what I'm saying.

01:10:33.220 And this display

01:10:34.000 of weakness

01:10:34.580 and emotional

01:10:35.200 dysregulation

01:10:36.020 will be a burden

01:10:37.620 on your wife

01:10:38.600 in a way

01:10:39.480 that the same scene

01:10:40.960 in the reverse

01:10:41.720 would not be

01:10:43.060 for you.

01:10:44.020 Why?

01:10:44.460 Well again

01:10:44.940 men and women

01:10:45.800 are different.

01:10:47.260 And this is one

01:10:47.720 of the reasons

01:10:48.020 why the 50-50 approach 0.81

01:10:49.280 doesn't work

01:10:49.860 in a marriage.

01:10:50.400 There is no way

01:10:50.980 to judge

01:10:51.620 what constitutes

01:10:52.460 50% of the work

01:10:53.680 in a marriage

01:10:54.160 because all of the work

01:10:55.660 is weighted differently

01:10:56.900 depending on whether

01:10:58.320 a man or woman

01:10:59.180 is doing it.

01:11:01.060 And I'm certainly

01:11:01.720 not saying that

01:11:02.240 all of the hard tasks

01:11:03.400 in a marriage

01:11:03.960 or in a family

01:11:04.460 are easier for men.

01:11:06.160 Sometimes it goes

01:11:06.820 the other way.

01:11:08.480 Right?

01:11:08.640 For example

01:11:08.960 my wife is very good

01:11:10.160 as wives should be 1.00

01:11:13.560 at managing the house.

01:11:15.260 And that means like

01:11:16.220 keeping everything

01:11:16.980 clean and orderly

01:11:17.720 making sure the kids

01:11:18.600 are fed

01:11:19.260 schedules are kept

01:11:20.200 everyone gets

01:11:21.180 where they need to go

01:11:21.980 and everyone's got

01:11:22.740 we got six kids

01:11:23.260 everyone's going

01:11:23.600 to a million different places

01:11:24.360 and you know

01:11:25.380 they're all wearing

01:11:25.920 the appropriate attire

01:11:26.800 for whatever thing

01:11:27.440 they're going to

01:11:28.220 be going to

01:11:28.840 and everything

01:11:29.920 etc.

01:11:30.540 etc.

01:11:30.740 etc.

01:11:30.980 Right?

01:11:32.160 She's much better

01:11:33.120 at that

01:11:33.980 than I am

01:11:35.440 and if we were

01:11:36.260 to split that task

01:11:37.520 50-50

01:11:38.260 maybe one week

01:11:39.900 she plays the role

01:11:40.980 of household manager

01:11:41.820 the next week

01:11:42.440 I play it

01:11:42.960 it would not be the case

01:11:45.220 that the burden

01:11:45.860 is equally shared

01:11:46.740 because it would be much

01:11:47.400 I would be much

01:11:48.540 more burdened

01:11:49.880 by my 50%

01:11:50.980 than she is

01:11:52.140 by her 50%

01:11:53.140 because she's

01:11:54.820 more suited

01:11:55.420 to that

01:11:56.540 than I am

01:11:57.220 because I'm a man

01:11:59.340 and she's a woman

01:12:00.000 and a lot of marriages

01:12:02.540 are struggling

01:12:03.120 and both spouses

01:12:04.140 feel resentment

01:12:04.800 and anger

01:12:05.360 anger they don't

01:12:06.940 even understand

01:12:07.660 because they refuse

01:12:09.100 to accept

01:12:09.800 this basic truth

01:12:10.860 because the culture

01:12:13.120 has told them

01:12:13.800 it isn't true

01:12:14.480 but it is

01:12:17.260 men and women

01:12:18.660 are different

01:12:19.060 and that's why

01:12:21.060 your wife

01:12:21.560 can and should

01:12:22.380 be more

01:12:23.040 emotionally vulnerable

01:12:24.100 than you

01:12:24.880 it's unequal

01:12:27.540 yes

01:12:28.000 men and women

01:12:29.140 are unequal

01:12:29.640 and that's okay

01:12:32.660 just as long

01:12:34.880 as she doesn't

01:12:35.280 use the term

01:12:35.820 man keeping

01:12:36.460 which is definitely

01:12:37.260 not okay

01:12:37.820 because that term

01:12:38.880 is today

01:12:39.560 once again

01:12:41.200 cancelled

01:12:42.080 that'll do it
