00:03:19.980 Individual results may vary.
00:03:22.440 For all the time that we spend on the latest political developments
00:03:25.360 in the nation's biggest population centers,
00:03:27.360 for example, the election of a Muslim socialist in New York City
00:03:30.000 or the attacks on immigration officers in Los Angeles,
00:03:33.280 it's undeniable that some of the biggest and most important stories are happening
00:03:36.780 in much smaller cities and towns across the country.
00:03:39.980 It's in the smaller locales that we're seeing some of the real flashpoints emerging.
00:03:45.860 Even though no corporate media outlet would dare to talk about them,
00:03:49.900 what we are now seeing are very disturbing images that could soon define our national politics
00:03:55.360 as large-scale demographic replacement begins to take hold.
00:03:59.520 And whatever you make of the disasters unfolding in places like New York and California,
00:04:03.840 the decline of smaller cities is even more disturbing.
00:04:08.700 So consider Dearborn, Michigan, population just north of 100,000.
00:04:12.240 If you were ranking American cities by population,
00:04:14.860 Dearborn wouldn't even crack the top 300.
00:04:18.160 But the population that Dearborn does have is highly significant.
00:04:21.820 Dearborn currently has a larger portion of Muslims than any other city in the U.S.
00:04:28.060 And it certainly became, it recently became the first Arab-majority city in the country.
00:04:33.680 Fully 55% of Dearborn's residents say they have Middle Eastern or North African ancestry,
00:04:39.720 which explains why Dearborn boasts the largest mosque in the entire continent of North America.
00:04:45.600 Now, Dearborn, as I've said so often on the show,
00:04:48.640 is in every way an Islamic capital at this point.
00:04:51.820 It is not an American city at all, except geographically.
00:04:56.900 Dearborn has been conquered.
00:04:59.180 And the few remaining Americans in Dearborn are now finding themselves surrounded by mobs of Muslims
00:05:03.980 chanting Allah Akbar and telling them to leave the city.
00:05:07.680 So this is footage that was taken by Nick Shirley,
00:05:10.120 one of the few journalists who's willing to travel to Dearborn
00:05:12.420 and report honestly about what he sees there.
00:05:15.680 The footage shows Shirley attempting to interview an activist named Jake Lang,
00:05:18.780 who was one of the pardoned January 6th defendants.
00:05:22.160 But the interview doesn't go anywhere because, at this point,
00:05:25.180 Dearborn basically resembles Fallujah.
00:05:28.300 Watch.
00:05:28.660 I believe they're going to cancel the 630 City Hall meeting because everybody's chimpin' the f*** out.
00:05:35.220 They're chimpin' the f*** out.
00:05:37.020 I don't have bananas, Shalel.
00:05:39.220 I don't have bananas.
00:05:40.820 I don't have bananas.
00:05:44.000 This is not America.
00:05:46.180 This is an insurgency.
00:05:47.720 They are taking over our country.
00:05:52.600 They're taking over our country.
00:05:54.880 They want us all dead.
00:06:00.720 This is Dearborn, Michigan right now.
00:06:03.820 Yes, this is Dearborn, Michigan.
00:06:05.660 Any races is not welcome.
00:06:07.820 No races here.
00:06:08.700 Now, that is a video that should be playing on repeat on every American news station.
00:06:19.340 The president should have responded to this by now.
00:06:21.540 It is footage that 25 years ago, everybody would have assumed came from Iraq or Afghanistan.
00:06:27.880 So, to be clear about what you just saw, if you're an American citizen and the mob of Muslims that controls Dearborn believes that you're racist,
00:06:37.020 then you're not welcome in the city any longer.
00:06:39.540 Your constitutional rights to freedom of expression are suspended.
00:06:43.040 You'll be surrounded and hounded by mobs shouting, Allah Akbar.
00:06:48.920 And, indeed, that is the official position of the government of Dearborn.
00:06:51.720 It was just a few weeks ago, you may remember, that the mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hamoud, publicly berated a Christian pastor telling him he's not welcome in the city because of his views.
00:07:01.080 This is the same mayor who, as we talked about yesterday, said he disavows the concept of assimilation.
00:07:06.320 So, this tactic of driving out Americans who disagree with the Islamization of the city extends not just to the mob, but to government officials in the city as well.
00:07:15.160 So, that's what makes this, among other things, a constitutional crisis.
00:07:18.520 In an American city, no one, not even an alleged racist, quote-unquote, should be surrounded, intimidated, and forced to leave for their speech.
00:07:30.720 That's not something that should ever happen under any circumstance.
00:07:33.820 It doesn't matter if he starts talking about bananas.
00:07:36.580 It doesn't matter if he insults Muhammad.
00:07:39.220 It doesn't matter if he burns a Koran.
00:07:42.300 I don't agree with that.
00:07:43.460 I wouldn't do it myself.
00:07:44.360 But, this is America.
00:07:46.900 In this country, unlike the Muslim world, we have the freedom of speech, freedom of association.
00:07:52.060 The Koran is not a sacred text that we protect by law.
00:07:56.460 Muhammad is not a prophet whose name we revere in this country.
00:08:00.700 This is America.
00:08:03.300 But places like Dearborn don't look much like America anymore, or act like it.
00:08:07.080 Jake Lang, while holding a sign reading, Americans Against Islamification, was also punched in the face on camera in Dearborn by someone who quickly ran away, very courageously.
00:08:18.620 Watch.
00:08:18.980 Watch.
00:08:19.020 Watch.
00:08:35.880 Watch.
00:08:36.160 Watch.
00:08:36.600 Watch.
00:08:37.660 Watch.
00:08:37.920 Watch.
00:08:37.960 That wimp just running away.
00:08:39.780 He's like already running away while the punch is still in the air being thrown.
00:08:44.880 He's already somehow running away.
00:08:46.400 Now, as long as we're still prosecuting hate crimes in this country, why hasn't the federal government opened an investigation into that attack?
00:08:55.740 That's a hate crime.
00:08:57.260 He's protesting against Islamification, which is his right as an American citizen.
00:09:02.660 I don't care how you feel about it.
00:09:04.180 You don't have to like him or agree with his tactics.
00:09:07.580 It can make you feel upset.
00:09:09.020 It can make your tummy hurt that he's got a sign that says we're against Islamification.
00:09:12.480 Doesn't matter.
00:09:13.760 Deal with it.
00:09:16.400 He is well within his constitutional rights as an American.
00:09:19.140 Well within them.
00:09:20.800 He's expressing a view about a particular religion that he believes conflicts with his own beliefs.
00:09:28.200 And for doing that, he was violently attacked in the middle of the street.
00:09:32.460 It's the hate crime.
00:09:34.760 So where is the DOJ that prosecuted Douglas Mackey for making a meme?
00:09:39.180 Why aren't they all over this?
00:09:40.280 Douglas Mackey was charged with violating Americans' right to vote by making a meme about Hillary Clinton somehow.
00:09:45.080 Meanwhile, we have a clear attack on somebody engaging in First Amendment protected speech.
00:09:51.680 And so far, it hasn't been a word about it from the DOJ.
00:09:55.960 And by the way, this wasn't the only time that Lange was attacked in Dearborn, and others were attacked as well.
00:10:01.080 The independent journalist Cam Higby was pepper sprayed and assaulted after he attempted to defend a Christian protester in Dearborn.
00:10:08.340 Watch.
00:10:08.620 Why is he not welcome on a public sidewalk?
00:10:11.820 Get the camera out of my face.
00:10:13.220 Get that camera out of my face, or I'll take it from you, okay?
00:10:22.220 Phone.
00:10:22.820 Phone right here.
00:10:23.880 Is this his phone?
00:10:24.660 Yeah.
00:10:25.880 All right, guys.
00:10:26.660 He just got pepper sprayed for attacking and assaulting.
00:10:29.560 Someone.
00:10:30.300 No, you're not going to get your phone.
00:10:31.280 Actually, you get it.
00:10:31.860 Here you go.
00:10:32.720 There we go.
00:10:33.560 Yeah.
00:10:33.780 Come on in.
00:10:39.900 Come on in.
00:10:41.260 No!
00:10:42.460 Disgusting.
00:10:44.220 No!
00:10:45.540 I got his mom.
00:10:47.400 Right there.
00:10:48.300 All right.
00:10:49.040 You're good.
00:10:50.640 Just down.
00:10:54.500 You guys, as you can see here, the jug that was watering, we got a bunch of...
00:10:59.460 Now, when Cam reported this assault to a police officer in Dearborn, the officer refused to
00:11:08.820 investigate it.
00:11:09.460 He claimed that he couldn't leave his post or take a report.
00:11:13.400 But just a few minutes later, Higby saw the officer leave his post to take a personal
00:11:17.840 phone call.
00:11:18.880 Watch.
00:11:20.580 My main issue here is that you said I could go into the station later and file a report.
00:11:24.900 He's in black block.
00:11:26.020 You're never going to find him again.
00:11:27.320 You will never find him again.
00:11:34.700 The detective will not find him.
00:11:36.540 I promise you.
00:11:37.420 I've been in this situation before.
00:11:38.760 You're never going to find him.
00:11:39.840 He's masked head to toe.
00:11:41.120 You will never find him again.
00:11:44.900 Yeah.
00:11:45.660 That is...
00:11:46.380 It's lazy.
00:11:47.940 So you know that a crime happened and you're going to let it slide because why?
00:11:54.480 Then go arrest him.
00:11:55.680 Okay, find me somebody who can.
00:12:04.900 Okay, yeah.
00:12:07.240 Find the police report after he's gone and you'll never find him again.
00:12:10.680 This is lazy police work.
00:12:12.400 You are a lazy police officer.
00:12:13.760 Officer, or you just don't want to get him.
00:12:17.160 Oh, I thought he couldn't leave his post.
00:12:18.540 He's gone.
00:12:19.040 He's not even here anymore.
00:12:19.940 He said he couldn't leave his post.
00:12:22.900 We're going to go right over there.
00:12:23.940 We're going to say hi to him.
00:12:24.860 We're going to get his name and badge number before we leave.
00:12:27.500 Hey, officer.
00:12:29.620 Who couldn't leave his post?
00:12:30.720 Here he is running.
00:12:35.140 Officer.
00:12:35.460 Officer who couldn't leave your post.
00:12:41.540 Can I get name and badge number real quick?
00:12:47.920 Officer.
00:12:49.620 You said you couldn't leave your post a second ago.
00:12:51.160 That was a lie.
00:12:51.640 Can I get your name and badge number before I leave?
00:12:54.100 Name?
00:12:55.860 Okay.
00:12:56.340 Thank you.
00:12:56.720 You can leave your post to take a personal phone call, but not to make an arrest, apparently.
00:13:05.480 So, he says that it's a lazy police work.
00:13:07.980 I think he's being too kind to the officer.
00:13:09.900 This is not laziness.
00:13:11.320 It's just that most likely this officer agrees with the crime that took place.
00:13:15.520 I mean, that's the only assumption you can make when you've got an actual crime takes place.
00:13:19.360 And you're saying to the police officer, hey, this crime just happened.
00:13:21.960 The guy's right over there.
00:13:23.240 And the officer says, yeah, well, no, I can't leave this spot.
00:13:28.320 Sorry.
00:13:30.280 The only rational assumption we can make is that, oh, well, you're okay with the crime.
00:13:33.940 You're glad that it happened.
00:13:35.320 And that's why you're not going to investigate it.
00:13:38.380 So, this is a systemic top-down assault on the civil liberties of Americans in Dearborn.
00:13:44.000 When Americans are beaten in the street, police look the other way.
00:13:47.980 You know, when Americans assemble outside the city council, they're surrounded and intimidated
00:13:53.540 with chants of Allah Akbar.
00:13:57.060 In America.
00:13:58.780 I have to keep reminding you.
00:14:00.960 This is in America.
00:14:03.520 You'll have mobs surrounding you chanting Allah Akbar.
00:14:07.640 Now, it really doesn't matter what you think of Jake Lang or Cam Higbee.
00:14:10.560 It doesn't matter if you think they're great people or horrible people.
00:14:13.280 It doesn't matter if you think Cam Higbee is a good journalist or whether Jake Lang is a good activist.
00:14:18.460 It doesn't matter.
00:14:19.040 I've seen some people on social media, including people who are, you know, supposedly conservative,
00:14:23.600 saying that, well, Lang's a fraud.
00:14:26.060 He's just a shock jock doing this for attention.
00:14:28.180 Now, I don't know the guy.
00:14:29.220 I don't know much about him.
00:14:30.860 I can't speak to his motives.
00:14:32.140 I have no idea.
00:14:33.840 All I know is that this is a completely unacceptable state of affairs in an American city.
00:14:39.620 And if you're looking at these video clips and to you the headline is, wow, well, that guy is being rude.
00:14:45.200 If that's the thing that jumps out at you and not that they're chanting Allah Akbar in the street,
00:14:51.440 assaulting Americans and the police are not investigating because they agree with it.
00:14:55.200 Like if that's not the if you're if you're more concerned about, well, that was kind of rude.
00:14:59.840 That's not nice for him to be saying that stuff.
00:15:04.260 Well, then, I don't know what to tell you.
00:15:07.760 This is unconstitutional.
00:15:09.900 The DOJ has a civil rights division to protect our civil rights, and they need to move into Dearborn along with the National Guard immediately.
00:15:16.340 The city council meeting under heavy police guard did eventually take place.
00:15:21.220 At the meeting, Lange offered these remarks.
00:15:23.140 I'm going to play them at some length, not because I agree with or endorse everything he says,
00:15:27.960 but because the whole scene is important for you to see and to hear how the audience responds, see how the police responds.
00:15:36.340 And most of all, you need to understand that Lange is what happens
00:15:39.320 when the government decides to replace American citizens with Muslims from the third world.
00:15:46.340 When you displace Americans, when you berate them, when you assault them, when you vilify them,
00:15:51.080 destroy their livelihoods, destroy their communities, destroy their homes,
00:15:54.580 then you get people like this.
00:15:57.360 You get resistance.
00:15:58.200 And at that point, once you've pushed people far enough, you don't get to choose what the resistance looks like.
00:16:05.120 You don't get to tone police it.
00:16:07.660 When you target a specific race for replacement, which is what the left has done across the country,
00:16:12.800 when you engage in open racial warfare, then you cannot pretend to be outraged when you get this kind of response.
00:16:18.660 It's inevitable.
00:16:20.180 Watch.
00:16:21.540 We have to call it what it is.
00:16:23.520 You guys don't live like we do.
00:16:25.220 We don't want you in our country.
00:16:27.060 We will come and eat your shawarma in Somalia.
00:16:30.260 Okay?
00:16:30.560 We don't need it here in Michigan.
00:16:33.700 We don't need it in any part of America.
00:16:36.580 We have a right to self-determination.
00:16:40.920 Our founding fathers fought and died for our posterity, for white Americans.
00:16:47.460 And we're being driven out.
00:16:49.580 You come here and you marry four or five women and you outbreed us.
00:16:53.940 You change the laws.
00:16:55.060 You make all of our country look like the places that you fled from.
00:17:00.180 We don't want you here.
00:17:01.760 Respectfully, get the f*** out of my country.
00:17:04.140 I don't want you here.
00:17:05.440 We don't want you here.
00:17:07.100 I don't want you here.
00:17:08.480 I don't want you here.
00:17:09.520 That's fine.
00:17:09.940 Sir, just...
00:17:10.800 This is our country.
00:17:13.080 And the people, the veterans, the World War II veterans that's blood has soaked for our Constitutional Republic
00:17:22.060 are taking a look around Europe.
00:17:23.900 They're taking a look around America and they're saying, what the hell did we fight for?
00:17:28.640 We have been taken over without a single shot fired.
00:17:32.200 You guys are outbreeding insidious parasites on the American way of life.
00:17:37.320 You will never look like us.
00:17:38.720 You will never eat like us.
00:17:39.980 You won't build buildings like us.
00:17:41.640 You are nothing.
00:17:42.380 You can build nothing.
00:17:43.520 Just like President Trump's great American friends have said.
00:17:47.380 You guys are not us and get the f*** out.
00:17:50.080 America first.
00:17:51.180 America only.
00:17:52.240 God bless America.
00:17:53.040 Jesus is king.
00:17:54.480 Jesus is king.
00:17:54.960 Jesus is king.
00:17:55.440 Thank you.
00:17:55.780 Jesus is king.
00:17:56.980 Jesus is king.
00:17:57.820 Thank you.
00:17:58.400 Jesus is king.
00:17:59.640 Jesus is king.
00:18:00.280 Your time has expired.
00:18:02.600 Order in the chambers.
00:18:09.300 Order in the chambers.
00:18:10.600 Jesus is king.
00:18:12.500 Jesus is king.
00:18:14.660 Jesus is king.
00:18:15.120 Jesus is king.
00:18:18.660 Jesus is king.
00:18:18.920 Jesus is king.
00:18:19.340 Jesus is king.
00:18:19.580 Jesus is king.
00:18:19.720 Jesus is king.
00:18:22.180 Jesus is king.
00:18:22.740 Well, this is what happens. Remember, at one of these city council meetings, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, that a pastor got up there much more polite, very nice about it, very gentle in his approach, didn't say anything racist, didn't say anything derogatory at all.
00:18:46.600 And all he said is like, hey, why are we renaming the streets after these, you know, these Muslim figures that have no significance to American culture?
00:18:57.960 And what was he told by the mayor? He was told, you're not welcome here. Get out.
00:19:03.260 That's what the polite, nice people were told.
00:19:09.020 And then, so when you respond that way to the polite, nice people, then you end up with that.
00:19:16.600 That's what comes next. That's always what comes next.
00:19:21.380 Now, if you're listening to the audio podcast, an entire line of police officers had to follow that guy out of the meeting.
00:19:27.960 And as we'll see in a moment, to their credit, some of these officers accompanied him to his car as a mob of Muslims surrounded him outside.
00:19:35.280 But before we get to that, we need to see a little more from this meeting.
00:19:38.580 It was, you know, I think we would probably say it was the most consequential, certainly the most interesting city council meeting in Dearborn's history.
00:19:46.600 Probably not that I've seen very many of them.
00:19:49.600 So here's Cam Higby, the journalist who was assaulted.
00:19:52.560 And here's what he had to say.
00:19:54.500 I asked them simply why they were harassing and touching another individual who had stated repeatedly that he was only on their side of the street to talk to them and have a dialogue.
00:20:05.120 My phone was smashed. You can see the broken camera right there.
00:20:08.100 They stole $50 out of my pocket and they stole my microphone receiver.
00:20:12.200 I went and I told one of your officers, badge number 3668, that this had happened.
00:20:18.180 He told me there was nothing that could be done about it unless I went to the station.
00:20:21.080 I told him, I can't go to the station. I'm working. I'm doing my job.
00:20:24.020 He said, I'm working too.
00:20:25.320 I said, yeah, and your job is to protect me and all of the people that are out here today.
00:20:29.260 Okay?
00:20:29.660 So we said that I could go into the station later.
00:20:31.420 I told him, you're never going to catch the guy if I go into the station later.
00:20:33.780 He's going to leave. He's dressed head to toe in black block.
00:20:36.060 I filmed the whole thing, but he had a mask on his face.
00:20:39.240 You'll never, ever get an opportunity to arrest that person ever again if you don't go and get him right now.
00:20:44.140 He said, sir, I can't leave my post.
00:20:45.820 Five minutes later, I caught him in the parking lot on a personal phone call.
00:20:49.940 Okay?
00:20:50.520 Repeatedly today, I watched people that are in this room get attacked by other people that are in this room.
00:20:56.280 One of my favorite quotes from the Prophet Muhammad.
00:20:58.280 A woman's testimony is worth half that of a man's due to the deficiency of her mind.
00:21:01.960 God created two sexes, one superior and one inferior.
00:21:05.400 That's why your women wear hijabs, because they're inferior to men.
00:21:08.960 That's why in most Muslim countries, they can't leave their homes without permission of a male guardian.
00:21:13.020 Is my time up?
00:21:14.040 You have 30 seconds.
00:21:14.920 Oh, you had 30 seconds.
00:21:15.200 Oh, 30 seconds.
00:21:15.660 Okay, great.
00:21:16.380 Go ahead.
00:21:17.300 Yeah, I think, I shouldn't feel like a demi in my country.
00:21:19.360 That's what I feel like in Dearborn, Michigan.
00:21:20.860 It doesn't feel like home.
00:21:22.100 I feel like a demi, a second-class citizen, which is what Christians are in the majority of Muslim countries.
00:21:26.980 Demis.
00:21:28.100 Second-class citizens.
00:21:29.600 In the policing in this city, that's exactly what happens.
00:21:32.320 And I know rank-and-file officers in pretty much every city usually want to take care of these problems.
00:21:37.940 You're the one giving the orders, Mr. Mayor.
00:21:40.240 These guys definitely want to do something about them.
00:21:42.500 They're business.
00:21:43.060 Look at them.
00:21:44.080 These guys are all business.
00:21:45.280 Your orders.
00:21:46.240 I'm done.
00:21:47.320 Thank you.
00:21:47.680 Now, watching footage like this, and there's a lot more like it, you have to wonder how much longer can the city of Dearborn continue to treat Americans like second-class citizens, as Cam Higby says.
00:22:05.700 I think that's a pretty fair summary of what happened when you're assaulted and the police tell you to their face that they're not interested in investigating it.
00:22:17.280 I mean, I'd say that's what it means to be a second-class citizen.
00:22:20.760 How much longer can Americans tolerate this takeover of Dearborn, the hometown of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company?
00:22:27.900 And what's going to happen when this escalates even further, which it obviously will?
00:22:31.820 Now, make no mistake, the foreigners in Dearborn are not interested in peace at this point.
00:22:39.400 One by one, Muslims stood up at this city council meeting to mock the Americans who complained.
00:22:43.660 Here's one particularly sassy guy who made one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard in my life.
00:22:50.020 Watch.
00:22:52.020 Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
00:22:52.580 In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.
00:22:55.160 I just want to say a few things before I start.
00:23:02.560 First of all, the word sharia just means law.
00:23:05.880 Saying sharia law is saying law law.
00:23:08.460 So it seems like there's quite a large group of individuals here who are intellectually inept.
00:23:14.200 And if that word is too big for them, intellectually inept, I'll say it again.
00:23:18.140 They can Google it later.
00:23:19.800 This is one of those gotchas that's extremely hard to watch without cringing uncontrollably.
00:23:23.760 He really thinks that this is some kind of devastating checkmate.
00:23:27.120 It's like saying the Sahara Desert is a nonsense term because Sahara means desert in Arabic.
00:23:31.720 It's the kind of statement you'd make if you're a really annoying person who desperately wants to avoid discussing anything meaningful.
00:23:36.560 So you default to some incredibly dumb and annoying linguistic argument that's completely pedantic.
00:23:41.980 I'm not even going to dispute his translation of sharia, although I don't know, it's probably wrong.
00:23:46.780 Maybe it's not.
00:23:47.740 In this country, we use the term sharia law as a shorthand for Islamic law, as opposed to actual functioning legal systems.
00:23:53.960 Ones that don't call for beheading when you leave the Islamic faith, for example.
00:23:58.520 And this speaker knows that.
00:23:59.500 He just wants to avoid the topic.
00:24:00.900 And as the guy continued to speak, we couldn't discover why he doesn't want to talk about substance.
00:24:06.480 Watch.
00:24:06.720 It is incredible that individuals who are charged with beating cops with bats are allowed to come to this city and say that they are going to take a holy book and burn it.
00:24:24.160 And this is not free speech.
00:24:26.260 And this is not hate speech.
00:24:27.800 This is speech that will initiate violence.
00:24:31.900 That is correct.
00:24:33.000 This will initiate violence.
00:24:35.780 You are coming to come and burn a book that Muslims hold very dear to their heart.
00:24:43.040 So did you catch that?
00:24:46.860 Islam is the religion of peace.
00:24:48.400 Muhammad is merciful, he says.
00:24:49.700 And then he says that if you mock Islam, then you're causing violence.
00:24:55.420 You're responsible for the violence that Muslims will inflict on you.
00:24:59.540 I mean, that's what he's saying.
00:25:01.680 You see how that works?
00:25:02.500 He says, well, we're the religion of peace, but if you make fun of us, we'll, you know, assault you.
00:25:07.700 So don't be violent by making fun of us, okay?
00:25:10.660 Because you're going to cause us to be violent against you.
00:25:12.480 To be clear, it wasn't just Muslims who encouraged violence against Americans.
00:25:16.380 Several members of Antifa-type groups also spoke.
00:25:19.360 Watch.
00:25:21.080 I'm part of the group BAM, by any means necessary.
00:25:24.560 Our full name is the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration, Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality, by any means necessary.
00:25:32.020 And we came today to say that fascists are not welcome in Dearborn.
00:25:37.540 The likes of Hudson and Lange are not welcome in Dearborn.
00:25:41.760 I think that that was made extremely clear by the action today.
00:25:46.820 People saw what was happening, and they came out and provided the welcome that such people deserve.
00:25:54.420 And I think this really sets a model to other cities who are facing these same kinds of attacks.
00:26:04.020 By the end of the march that I was on, they went from being maybe, I don't know, around 50 people to like three guys with a banner because they had been scared away.
00:26:15.580 And I think that is exactly the kind of action that is needed.
00:26:20.360 And I think Dearborn really set the model for how to deal with these situations.
00:26:27.780 So this masked activist saying her political opponent should be stopped by any means necessary is openly celebrating the fact that her political opponents were intimidated into silence.
00:26:37.180 So this is an admission of a constitutional violation, which she should be prosecuted for.
00:26:41.580 And the fake nonprofit she belongs to, which Andy Ngo has extensively reported on, should be shut down.
00:26:47.100 But of course, that probably won't happen.
00:26:48.840 More than two months after the murder of Charlie Kirk, has a single leftist group like this been investigated, much less shut down?
00:26:54.580 Well, this would be a pretty good place to start.
00:26:57.400 For now, these terrorists are emboldened for obvious reasons.
00:27:00.440 Another masked activist condemned the city council for failing to use law enforcement to shut down the protesters.
00:27:08.780 Watch.
00:27:09.220 Sorry, I'm standing here today in solidarity with several members of our community that are here and who attended our march to condemn Anthony Hudson, Jake Lang, and their fascist supporters.
00:27:22.860 And also to condemn this council's poor, abysmal attempts to protect them.
00:27:28.300 The police outside, they did nothing to really disperse the crowd of fascists.
00:27:34.460 All they did was protect them.
00:27:36.060 And that is wrong.
00:27:39.220 Now, as a result of these kinds of threatening statements, as well as the actual violence that was on display, Jake Lang and Cam Higby requested a police escort out of the meeting.
00:27:50.820 They asked a police officer to accompany them to their cars.
00:27:52.880 Unfortunately, the officer agreed.
00:27:54.360 Not that it should have been necessary to ask in the first place.
00:27:56.620 And even with the officers there, a few people tried to harass them anyway.
00:28:01.460 At this rate, it's only a matter of time until the violence escalates.
00:28:06.260 Everybody knows that.
00:28:08.140 And no sane or decent person wants that to happen.
00:28:11.960 Antifa wants that to happen.
00:28:13.060 But the last thing that a sane or decent person wants in America is violence.
00:28:18.980 But the problem is you cannot work to undermine American identity and national sovereignty and scold and castigate and condemn every American who objects.
00:28:29.400 And tell them to leave town.
00:28:31.640 Especially tell the nice ones to leave town.
00:28:34.480 And then be surprised when the whole situation devolves into chaos.
00:28:37.840 Now, the only solution, the only way to prevent the chaos is to return American cities to Americans.
00:28:45.580 To return America to Americans.
00:28:48.340 It's the only possible solution here.
00:28:50.120 It's the only one that can work.
00:28:52.060 But at the moment, for whatever reason, some prominent figures who claim to be on the right are actually training their fire on the people who are protesting the Muslim takeover of Dearborn rather than Muslim foreigners themselves.
00:29:02.840 So, here's what Jake Shields wrote, for example, in response to a video of one of Lang's protests.
00:29:08.880 Quote, Muslims don't hate Christians, so I'm not sure what the point of this is.
00:29:12.580 Do this in Brooklyn in a mostly Jewish community.
00:29:16.660 So, I guess the idea is that in order to dunk on the Jewish communities, we're supposed to forget about the fact that Muslims have been killing Christians for 1,400 years.
00:29:25.020 Muslims don't hate Christians?
00:29:26.620 What in the world are you babbling about?
00:29:29.500 They're killing Christians across the world right now as we speak.
00:29:33.420 Particularly in Nigeria, as we discussed a few weeks ago.
00:29:36.860 Every year, Muslims are executing thousands of Christians because of their faith.
00:29:40.260 Meanwhile, Islamic countries are also flooding our country with immigrants who hate us and who openly threaten us at city council meetings.
00:29:47.420 But we're supposed to believe that Muslims have no hatred for Christians whatsoever?
00:29:51.680 Even though that statement defies over a millennium of human experience?
00:29:55.540 After I challenged Shields publicly, he responded by claiming that Christians have killed far more Muslims than the other way around.
00:30:04.240 Which isn't true.
00:30:05.120 And then he pivoted again to, like, well, we need to talk about Jews.
00:30:09.420 That's all he wants to talk about.
00:30:11.340 And as I told him on X, this is just full-on anti-Christian propaganda.
00:30:16.380 Something straight from the left-wing Reddit fever swamps.
00:30:18.720 Talking points that are totally indistinguishable from the far left.
00:30:23.240 An effort to distract conservatives from doing what needs to be done, which is taking back our national sovereignty.
00:30:30.380 And we can't fall for it.
00:30:33.840 I mean, there are some people ostensibly on the right for whom, you know, hating Israel is literally the only issue that matters.
00:30:39.780 The only one.
00:30:40.720 They would happily let our country succumb to a third world invasion if it meant we would have more people here who don't like Israel.
00:30:48.260 So Israel first from the other direction, as I pointed out many times.
00:30:52.100 Now, in any case, the time for a national federal response to this invasion is long overdue.
00:30:58.040 But there hasn't been one.
00:30:59.040 And therefore, this week, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, decided to take action on his own.
00:31:03.680 He designated CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:31:07.760 Here it is.
00:31:09.640 Governor Greg Abbott also today labeling two Islamic groups as terrorist and criminal organizations.
00:31:15.380 And his proclamation bans the groups and those connected to them from acquiring land in Texas.
00:31:20.580 Fox 4's Sean Rabbitt, our newsroom, with a still-developing story.
00:31:23.600 Sean.
00:31:23.880 Yeah, very much so.
00:31:24.880 The two groups are the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE.
00:31:27.780 The Council on American-Islamic Relations.
00:31:29.900 Now, neither are on any State Department or federal terrorist.
00:31:32.500 And while only the federal government has the power to designate a foreign terrorist organization, the governor does have the authority to issue a proclamation and apply state penalties if there's a violation.
00:31:44.500 In issuing that proclamation Tuesday, Governor Abbott said that the actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable.
00:31:58.720 Today, he said, I designated the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.
00:32:06.660 These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.
00:32:13.380 Now, CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood deny these allegations, of course, but the evidence is pretty clear.
00:32:19.420 During a federal prosecution related to terrorism financing nearly two decades ago, CARE, which is basically a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood, was named as a co-conspirator in an effort to funnel millions of dollars to Hamas, which the U.S. designates as its terror group.
00:32:31.860 CARE's founders were also in close communication with Hamas.
00:32:34.640 As Abbott wrote in his proclamation, quote, Hassan al-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood, professed that jihad is an obligation from Allah on every Muslim and that jihad means fighting unbelievers, plundering their wealth, destroying their places of worship, and smashing their idols.
00:32:50.100 Even in the present day, the Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood has stated that the organization's primary goal is to establish Islam's mastership of the world and to forcibly impose Sharia law worldwide.
00:33:00.420 The governance proclamation adds, CARE is an Islamist organization that, according to the FBI, was founded as a front group for Hamas, and CARE and its members have repeatedly employed, affiliated with, and supported individuals promoting terrorism-related activities.
00:33:15.320 Now, there's also new reporting that CARE allegedly cut $1,000 checks to campus radicals who besieged American universities back in 2023, so they're directly funding anarchy in this country.
00:33:24.360 Going after these two organizations isn't going to stop the kinds of problems we're seeing in places like Dearborn, but it's a start, and the federal government needs to follow through at this point.
00:33:34.080 There's no other option.
00:33:35.580 There's also some reporting today that, as a favor to Qatar, the Trump administration may be holding back, but I don't know if that's true or not.
00:33:43.920 There's no reason to do that.
00:33:45.060 We elected this administration to target foreign invaders.
00:33:50.280 Well, here you go.
00:33:52.280 And we need to dismantle their institutions if we're ever going to remove them from power.
00:33:56.740 The Islamification of America is one of the greatest threats we face to our country and to our national identity.
00:34:03.040 It's impossible to be an American-first nationalist unless you're taking a stand against this.
00:34:08.160 Remember that Dearborn is the place where protesters chanted,
00:34:10.580 Death to America!
00:34:11.980 Again, you're not America first if you align with people who literally chant Death to America.
00:34:25.780 I mean, opposing those who want to see the death of our country explicitly is about the lowest possible bar for America first.
00:34:33.300 We need to protect and preserve our country, and we elected this administration to do exactly that,
00:34:37.460 to represent our country, to the exclusion of every other.
00:34:40.080 But we're getting taken advantage of all over the country by people who come here and hate us.
00:34:47.800 It's not just happening in Dearborn.
00:34:49.320 City Journal just published an article on the extent of Somali Muslim fraud in Minnesota,
00:34:53.720 which is far worse than anyone realized.
00:34:55.820 They're not just stealing our money with various welfare schemes.
00:34:57.920 They're also using that money to fund Islamic militants and terrorists.
00:35:00.680 A source described the close links between the Somali-American community in Minnesota and Islamic terror groups abroad.
00:35:06.260 Ten years ago, the source was recruited as an independent contractor for a three-letter agency investigation into the Minnesota men who had joined or attempted to join ISIS.
00:35:14.460 That year, a Homeland Security Task Force report found that Minnesota led the nation in the number of Americans who had joined or attempted to join ISIS.
00:35:22.040 Of the 58 Americans who had done so, nearly half came from Minnesota.
00:35:24.680 The relationship is ongoing.
00:35:26.800 This is a third rail conversation, but the largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer, the source said.
00:35:32.700 There's a real issue here that is real, and if there's ever an event that is traceable back to these funds or to people from this area,
00:35:39.160 then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics.
00:35:42.760 Now, there's another recent article by Armin Rosen called The Shame of Our Cities, How Minneapolis Became the Medicaid Fraud Capital of the USA.
00:35:49.100 It's also worth reading if you're interested in the mechanics of some of these fraudulent schemes, but really, the mechanics don't matter.
00:35:55.440 The people doing this shouldn't be in the country in the first place.
00:35:57.520 The fact that they're stealing from us and funding terrorists is just more reason to put an end to this.
00:36:03.980 Now, these stories and this city council meeting in Dearborn are the clearest possible sign that we're running out of time to rescue America from this foreign invasion.
00:36:12.260 We should never have to witness a scene like that city council meeting ever again within the borders of the U.S.
00:36:19.560 We shouldn't have to wonder if our tax dollars are funding fake anti-American nonprofits, much less terrorists.
00:36:24.980 And we should accept nothing less than the full weight of the federal government coming down on these invaders and returning America to Americans.
00:36:33.580 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:38:52.600 Here's a story that I think we're going to get, we'll get more into this next week, do a deeper dive.
00:38:57.980 But NBC News has a report.
00:38:59.700 A man accused of setting a woman on fire on a Chicago transit train this week has been hit with a federal terrorism charge, according to a criminal complaint.
00:39:06.540 Lawrence Reed, 50, was charged with one count of committing a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system Wednesday in the Northern District of Illinois
00:39:14.420 in connection with the attack Monday night.
00:39:17.040 The incident unfolded just before 9.30 p.m. on a CTA Blue Line train.
00:39:21.700 Security video captured the moment a man, authorities identified as Reed, walked through the train car, holding a bottle,
00:39:27.560 and approached the victim, a 26-year-old woman, and poured liquid overhead and then ignited it.
00:39:33.120 While he was being transported to the detective division, Reed made repeated, spontaneous, and unprompted utterances,
00:39:38.720 specifically yelling, burn and burn alive, according to the filing.
00:39:44.440 That's what he said.
00:39:45.020 Now, somehow this NBC article, as I skimmed through it, neglects to mention the most important point,
00:39:51.980 which is that this psycho has previously been arrested.
00:39:54.620 Guess how many times?
00:39:55.560 Guess how many times he's previously been arrested?
00:39:56.980 If you haven't heard this story, just take a guess.
00:40:00.060 71.
00:40:01.480 71 prior arrests.
00:40:03.640 So this arrest is number 72, if you're keeping track at home.
00:40:06.480 This means that this guy was arrested 30 times, and by that point, hadn't even experienced half of the arrests that he would eventually have on his resume.
00:40:17.660 This guy was like, he has, you know, 70 times more arrests than the average person gets speeding tickets in a lifetime.
00:40:28.260 Okay, like I've been driving for 20 years, I think I have two speeding tickets.
00:40:32.960 Basically, I'm good for one a decade.
00:40:36.480 He has more than 30 times as many arrests as I have speeding tickets.
00:40:42.880 So, you know, there are a million ways to put these numbers in perspective,
00:40:46.200 but the main point is that obviously it should not be possible for a person to be arrested 71 times.
00:40:51.840 That should not be a thing that happens in a civilized society.
00:40:56.860 You know, it should be mandatory life sentence after, you know, your third felony arrest.
00:41:03.060 And those laws are supposed to be on the books in some places, the so-called three-strike laws.
00:41:08.360 But they've been watered down almost everywhere so that they effectively, so that they're basically not in effect.
00:41:15.000 But really, I mean, forget about mandatory life in prison.
00:41:19.520 It should be a mandatory death penalty at a certain point.
00:41:21.900 I don't know, maybe after your 10th arrest, let's be generous and say 20.
00:41:28.540 Okay, if we're not going to have a mandatory life sentence after three, then okay, after 20, it's execution.
00:41:38.960 You're arrested 20 times.
00:41:40.480 I don't even care the reason.
00:41:42.680 Okay, once you get to number 20, you're done.
00:41:45.140 Like, permanently done.
00:41:47.000 Your life is over.
00:41:47.900 Okay, if you can't keep your number of arrests down to, you know, 19 at a minimum, then you just don't deserve to live anymore.
00:41:57.200 You're not fit to be a part of human society.
00:42:00.020 We can't afford to keep you around.
00:42:04.440 You're a danger to society.
00:42:05.900 You're a strain on society.
00:42:08.180 You've made it very clear you don't want to be a part of society.
00:42:10.940 And so at a certain point, like, at what point can we say, okay, you don't want to be a part of this.
00:42:14.700 It's fine.
00:42:16.220 As you wish.
00:42:18.440 At what point can we grant these people their wish?
00:42:20.420 They don't want to be a part of civilized society.
00:42:22.420 So at what point can we say, okay, we catch your drift.
00:42:26.400 We got the message.
00:42:28.980 We'll give you what you apparently want.
00:42:33.200 So there's a lot more to say about this story, which we will in the coming days.
00:42:37.420 All right, let's move on to this.
00:42:38.340 Elon Musk is, I don't know what, this is some kind of event that he was, I don't know where this is exactly,
00:42:43.700 but he's giving his predictions about AI.
00:42:45.880 Of course, we've been talking a lot about that.
00:42:48.660 And this, oh, this is the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum.
00:42:52.580 That's what it is.
00:42:53.800 And here's what Musk says about AI.
00:42:55.560 Listen.
00:42:57.100 Say, like, in the long term, where will things end up?
00:42:59.840 Long term, I don't know what long term is.
00:43:01.460 Maybe it's 10, 20 years, something like that.
00:43:04.920 For me, that's long term.
00:43:07.700 My prediction is that work will be optional.
00:43:10.660 Optional.
00:43:11.260 Optional.
00:43:11.580 We'll take that.
00:43:17.000 Yeah.
00:43:17.640 I mean, it'll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that.
00:43:22.440 If you want to work, you know, in the same way, like, you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables,
00:43:30.300 or you could grow vegetables in your backyard.
00:43:33.080 It's much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it,
00:43:36.440 because they like growing vegetables.
00:43:39.220 That will be what work is like.
00:43:41.320 Optional.
00:43:41.820 And between now and then, there's actually a lot of work to get to that point.
00:43:46.440 And I always recommend people read in banks' culture books to get a sense for what a probable, positive AI future is like.
00:43:58.480 And interestingly, in those books, money is no longer, doesn't exist.
00:44:05.740 It's kind of interesting.
00:44:06.860 And my guess is, if you go out long enough, assuming there's a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely, the money will stop.
00:44:18.560 So that's Elon's prediction, and I have to object to basically all of that.
00:44:23.840 And, I mean, you know, I like Elon Musk.
00:44:26.260 He's the only billionaire really trying to do anything worthwhile with his fortune.
00:44:30.800 Maybe not the only one, but he's one of a few.
00:44:33.580 SpaceX.
00:44:34.480 I love SpaceX.
00:44:35.440 I love the fact that he gave us free speech on social media again.
00:44:38.820 I've said that Elon is one of the great men of history, and he is.
00:44:41.760 I mean, there's just no doubt about it.
00:44:42.720 There are a few people currently alive on the planet who will be remembered in the history books.
00:44:47.240 Elon is one.
00:44:48.060 Trump is obviously another.
00:44:49.640 There's only a few of them.
00:44:51.260 Most of us will be forgotten, but he's one of the few.
00:44:54.400 On this AI stuff, I strenuously disagree.
00:44:58.240 First of all, I don't see how AI could possibly create the utopia he's talking about.
00:45:02.420 For one thing, AI is not going to make everybody's jobs obsolete all at once.
00:45:06.560 It's going to wipe out whole industries.
00:45:08.580 I believe that.
00:45:09.200 But that's not going to happen at a time when we're living in this utopia that Elon
00:45:16.540 describes.
00:45:17.740 So like when the customer service jobs go and the delivery jobs and the truck driver
00:45:22.040 jobs, when all that stuff goes away, those are all going away almost certainly soon.
00:45:28.600 Like in the next five to 10 years, well, that's millions of people out of work.
00:45:32.100 And what happens to them?
00:45:33.880 They're going to have their work taken away at a time when work is still very much necessary
00:45:39.820 to survive.
00:45:40.580 And I think that work is always going to be necessary to survive, even in a non-capitalist
00:45:46.160 society, even pre-industrialization, even in a hunter-gatherer society.
00:45:51.480 I mean, you could go back 5,000 years and I think you could go forward 5,000 years and
00:45:56.900 work is necessary to survive because life requires resources to be maintained and resources require
00:46:07.280 work to obtain.
00:46:10.960 That simple.
00:46:12.500 Someone has to do the work to provide the food, the shelter, the warmth in the winter,
00:46:17.520 the clothes and everything else.
00:46:19.580 Not to mention all the other things that are not necessary for survival, but still are necessary
00:46:23.220 to make our lives enjoyable.
00:46:25.100 That stuff comes from somewhere and people have to do work to create those things.
00:46:31.440 That stuff can only be obtained through work that someone has to do.
00:46:34.600 The only way to live without work is to compel someone else to do it for you, which is slavery.
00:46:39.460 Now, maybe Elon imagines a world, I assume this is what he's saying, is that it will be
00:46:45.100 in a world where AI will do all that stuff for you.
00:46:48.180 So now we're talking far off in the future.
00:46:50.520 I mean, if you're talking about AI building houses and growing your food, now we're talking
00:46:56.400 decades and decades in the future.
00:46:58.720 Before that happens, if it happens, millions of people are going to be jobless and destitute.
00:47:05.200 They're not going to make it to the utopia.
00:47:07.260 That's the part Elon doesn't mention.
00:47:08.940 But let's imagine this utopia.
00:47:10.200 Let's pretend that it's 50 years in the future.
00:47:13.560 Somehow we made it through the absolute hell that's going to be required to get to that
00:47:17.220 point.
00:47:17.920 And now AI does everything.
00:47:20.460 Okay.
00:47:20.760 Just does everything.
00:47:21.560 And this would require, as he kind of mentions there at the end, like, you know, in order
00:47:26.260 for it to do everything, you need not just AI, but AI and robots.
00:47:30.280 And you need to finally have like these, the sci-fi kind of robots that, you know, are, can
00:47:35.780 walk around and function just as people and have AI brains and whatever else.
00:47:39.500 So that we're far off in the future.
00:47:41.040 Well, is that actually good?
00:47:44.720 I mean, to live as a human being, utterly dependent in every way on soulless, mindless
00:47:52.660 algorithms and machines for your survival.
00:47:56.700 Is that good?
00:47:57.280 Is that a good life?
00:47:58.660 I mean, a life where we don't have to do any work because we just have, because we're totally,
00:48:03.860 we're like infants where we are infants and we never grow beyond the infancy stage.
00:48:10.440 And we are totally dependent.
00:48:12.000 We don't know how to do anything for ourselves.
00:48:13.880 We are totally dependent on these machines that don't love us, don't care about us.
00:48:19.320 Don't, don't even know that we exist, have no consciousness.
00:48:22.080 Is that, is that a good life?
00:48:23.500 Is that, is that in any way a good life?
00:48:27.380 I mean, aren't you just now talking about the matrix?
00:48:29.760 Like, but the matrix is not supposed to be something that that's a dystopia, not a
00:48:33.780 utopia.
00:48:34.920 This is the matrix.
00:48:35.940 I mean, this is, we're all plugged into, you know, we're all in these kind of robotic
00:48:39.960 wombs.
00:48:41.880 And, and so that's what he's describing.
00:48:46.440 Does anyone watch the matrix and think like, oh yeah, that's what I, the world I want to
00:48:50.020 live in.
00:48:52.660 So I don't, this to me is not a good thing.
00:48:59.360 I don't know the thought about AI, what sort of about AI, something I was thinking about
00:49:03.260 yesterday we talked about on friendly fire.
00:49:05.240 We debated AI and Ben is more on the side of embracing AI is a good thing.
00:49:10.720 I'm more on the side of killing it with fire.
00:49:12.400 So no surprise there, but he said something kind of offhand that we didn't get into at
00:49:16.920 the time.
00:49:17.240 He said, one of the good things about AI is that it might extend our lifespans by 20 or
00:49:21.520 30 years.
00:49:22.540 You know, Elon Musk has talked about the same thing, that this is one of the, the advantages
00:49:26.420 of AI is that's going to extend our lifespan because of the ability to diagnose and treat
00:49:29.900 illness and that sort of thing.
00:49:31.480 And, um, maybe AI will eventually be able to come up with cures for all the, for various
00:49:36.200 different diseases.
00:49:37.400 I don't know if that's true or not.
00:49:38.780 I think, I think it may very well be true.
00:49:41.100 And yet there's something that always bothers me about this.
00:49:46.560 Like I look at that, I think, well, does that make AI worth it?
00:49:49.060 And I say, no.
00:49:50.120 I mean, even if I were to say, well, yeah, sure.
00:49:53.700 Even if I knew that, that in the near future, it could extend our lifespans by 20 or 30 years,
00:49:58.700 does that make it worth it?
00:50:00.100 I say no.
00:50:00.840 And there's something that always bothers me about this obsessive push to extend human
00:50:04.920 lifespan.
00:50:06.420 I'm in favor of extending them.
00:50:08.120 Don't get me wrong.
00:50:10.020 But at another level, it's like, why?
00:50:13.600 I mean, we live on average 85 years.
00:50:16.240 If we could start living on average 105 years, what difference does that really make?
00:50:22.560 I mean, we already live, we live now 20 years longer than our ancestors did.
00:50:27.240 Does that extra 20 years really make us happier on average?
00:50:31.080 Are we even doing anything with that time?
00:50:35.020 And besides, even if you live to a hundred, your life is still going to be so short as to
00:50:40.700 be almost non-existent on a cosmic scale.
00:50:43.640 So the extra 20 years is nothing.
00:50:48.480 I mean, your entire life is a blink of an eye.
00:50:50.300 And so now you're adding another fraction of a blink of an eye on top of it.
00:50:55.200 And here's what I'm getting at.
00:50:56.600 I'm all for curing diseases.
00:50:58.060 Don't get me wrong.
00:50:59.560 I'm all for that.
00:51:01.080 I'm sure when I'm 85, I would prefer to live to 105, maybe.
00:51:05.280 It also depends on what kind of health you're in.
00:51:06.780 Um, but, but here's the thought I have, which is only tangentially connected to AI, which
00:51:15.160 is that, you know, the thing that makes life difficult is impermanence.
00:51:20.860 Life is short.
00:51:21.840 Life is fleeting.
00:51:22.840 That's what's so sad about it.
00:51:24.520 Every stage of life is even shorter.
00:51:26.740 We experience little deaths along the way until we get to death itself taking hold.
00:51:31.960 Um, parents feel this as they watch their kids grow older, you know, you're happy they're
00:51:37.660 growing up and all that, but it's also sad because the unique joy that, that this one
00:51:42.440 stage of childhood gives you is going away.
00:51:46.020 It's dying.
00:51:46.840 And, uh, you know, the five-year-old version of your child is going away, never to return.
00:51:51.800 You're never going to get that time back.
00:51:53.260 So life is fleeting.
00:51:54.400 Life is impermanent.
00:51:56.480 But here's the bigger problem from us, for us.
00:51:58.520 Every generation through all of history has noticed this and tried to do something about
00:52:04.560 it.
00:52:05.180 Every generation has realized that it will only be around for a blink of an eye and it's
00:52:10.780 tried to do something to counteract life's impermanence.
00:52:14.340 I mean, this is in many ways, like the story of human civilization is just finding ways.
00:52:18.340 We all realize that we're going to die soon and we're just, what do you, what do we do
00:52:22.960 about that is, is kind of, that's the story of civilization.
00:52:25.820 What do we do about the fact that we're all going to die?
00:52:28.000 And the way that our ancestors approached this, what they did about it was they surrounded
00:52:37.560 themselves with, and they built permanent things.
00:52:42.820 They built giant stone temples and cathedrals and pyramids and monuments.
00:52:48.240 Uh, they built things to last.
00:52:50.980 They formed big families, right?
00:52:53.260 They had a lot of kids and they stayed with their families, many generations together.
00:52:56.820 And, and, and they, they lived in places that their ancestors, you know, they, they lived
00:53:03.380 where their ancestors were buried and they'd go to a temple and they knew that this temple
00:53:07.580 has been here for generations.
00:53:08.660 My great grandfather worshiped here.
00:53:10.560 My great grandchildren will also worship here.
00:53:12.700 And so they were part, they were connected in that way.
00:53:14.620 They felt connected with, um, the past and the future.
00:53:17.880 They raged against the dying of the light with things that would not die.
00:53:23.840 Temples and bloodlines do not die.
00:53:25.820 If they're maintained, they were surrounded by permanence.
00:53:29.440 Now for us, we are surrounded by impermanence.
00:53:33.120 We are impermanent beings surrounded by impermanence.
00:53:36.680 We build things that decay and fall apart in one generation.
00:53:40.760 We build houses that won't last and buildings that won't last and bridges that fall apart.
00:53:45.260 Uh, we break apart our families and we spread out and we sever those bonds.
00:53:49.080 And many of us don't even have kids or don't have enough kids.
00:53:51.920 And most of our time is spent on the internet in a place where nothing exists physically.
00:53:57.060 And, uh, and, and it only exists, this content only exists in our consciousness for a moment
00:54:01.900 before it's gone and we forget about it.
00:54:03.680 And everything we do here could be erased forever by just like flipping a switch.
00:54:08.440 It's all gone.
00:54:09.920 So we are the least permanent, the most transient, the most fleeting civilization that's ever existed.
00:54:15.100 Our roots are buried right beneath the surface, if even that.
00:54:17.740 And we've noticed the same problem that we are impermanent.
00:54:22.880 We are more troubled by it really than anyone because our lives are lived in such a shallow way
00:54:27.760 in this digital world that we access through phones that break every 18 months.
00:54:31.960 So our way around it is medical.
00:54:34.080 We try to fight against impermanence of life by extending our actual physical lives for as long as we can.
00:54:42.700 That's the worst way to do it.
00:54:45.800 Our ancestors found a way to live a thousand years, right?
00:54:50.980 By building, by having, by, through your bloodline and through the things that you build
00:54:55.180 and by the, the, the, the civilization that you build and you're a part of your culture, right?
00:55:00.480 And so that's how you, you live on.
00:55:03.900 Well, we found a way to live an extra 20 or so.
00:55:06.260 And then after we die, no trace of ourselves will exist.
00:55:15.180 Nothing that we did or said or built will outlive us.
00:55:20.280 And so, you know, you got guys like Brian Johnson is a, is a, the don't die movement.
00:55:26.440 They even make it a movement.
00:55:27.360 Don't die.
00:55:28.360 Well, it's like, yeah, dude, you're going to die.
00:55:31.240 You are going to die.
00:55:32.920 You, you're not, it's, there's no way around it.
00:55:35.740 It's the law of physics.
00:55:36.700 You can't get around it.
00:55:37.500 I'm sorry.
00:55:39.220 Uh, even if you figure out, so what he means is, well, don't die before you're 100.
00:55:44.580 Okay.
00:55:46.160 But then what?
00:55:47.380 Then you are going to die.
00:55:49.700 And what, what lives on beyond you?
00:55:51.600 What outlives you?
00:55:52.380 That's the question.
00:55:53.040 And, uh, that's not something that you're going to solve with AI.
00:55:56.740 Okay.
00:55:57.160 Let's get to the comment section.
00:55:58.440 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.
00:56:01.680 Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.
00:56:08.040 All right.
00:56:08.520 Here's one comment.
00:56:10.200 Ann says, Matt, since you still haven't talked about 31 Atlas, I can only assume this is the
00:56:14.300 subject of your next documentary.
00:56:15.820 We need to know what you think about this important topic.
00:56:19.880 You know, I have to apologize.
00:56:23.200 Um, I rarely do it, but I feel moved to apologize because you're right.
00:56:28.560 Somehow I have not mentioned this story.
00:56:30.540 This story was made for me.
00:56:32.080 It was made for this show.
00:56:34.140 This object came from interstellar space just for this show.
00:56:38.120 That's what I believe.
00:56:39.460 I'm not an egomaniac at all.
00:56:41.540 And I've neglected to talk about it.
00:56:43.180 I don't know what's gotten into me.
00:56:44.340 I've been, I don't know.
00:56:45.540 I don't know what it is, but, uh, yes, 31 Atlas.
00:56:49.180 For those who don't know is supposedly a comet.
00:56:51.840 And what makes the comet unique is that it's interstellar, meaning it came from outside
00:56:55.620 of our solar system.
00:56:56.960 Uh, and you know, most of the stuff flying around in space all originates in our solar
00:57:01.480 system.
00:57:01.840 It's just like a, go on a giant loop, you know, around the whole system.
00:57:05.200 This one comes from the outside.
00:57:06.780 And I think there's only like two or three interstellar objects that have ever been identified.
00:57:10.500 So this is very, very unique.
00:57:11.600 Now, the other thing that makes it unique is that it's flying close.
00:57:15.700 It's, it's flying very closely by multiple planets, uh, Venus, Mars, Jupiter.
00:57:21.540 So it's, it's almost like a probe would if it wanted to get a look at, at all these different
00:57:27.740 planets.
00:57:28.160 And most interestingly, it seems to be exhibiting propulsion.
00:57:30.960 So that's the thing that some scientists have keyed in on, uh, it's propelling itself in
00:57:36.540 a way that cannot be explained apparently through just gravity.
00:57:39.780 It seems to be exhibiting non-gravitational propulsion.
00:57:43.500 And that's why some scientists have theorized that this could be some kind of alien technology,
00:57:47.280 not a comet, but an alien ship or an alien probe of some kind, which, um, and most scientists,
00:57:54.140 by the way, admittedly have said, no, definitely not.
00:57:56.680 I think there's been like two or three scientists have said, this might be aliens.
00:57:59.580 And then every other scientist has said, no, no way.
00:58:03.160 Um, so if you're someone who cares about scientific consensus, which I don't know how anyone could
00:58:07.440 at this point, then, uh, you know, maybe you, you, that's all you need to know, but others
00:58:12.680 is, there are a few that say, well, maybe this is aliens.
00:58:14.580 And look, I don't need to tell you that that's the theory that I obviously ascribe to goes
00:58:20.660 without saying I'm, I'm going alien on this one all the way that you don't even, I don't
00:58:25.020 even need to look into it.
00:58:26.180 I don't need to research it.
00:58:28.320 As soon as I heard about it, someone told me about it.
00:58:31.680 I didn't even hear the whole, you know, there's this thing, 31 Atlas.
00:58:34.340 And I said, what's that?
00:58:35.380 And they said, oh, it's the thing that's in space.
00:58:36.840 Oh, aliens.
00:58:37.960 Oh, you mean aliens?
00:58:40.640 So no doubt in my mind, to me, the most fascinating possibility is this is an unmanned probe from
00:58:47.440 another solar system.
00:58:48.960 And if it is, that means that it could be thousands of, or millions of years old.
00:58:53.740 You know, it could be a probe from a civilization that went extinct a million years ago.
00:58:58.940 Right.
00:58:59.400 So speaking of the impermanence of life, uh, could be that.
00:59:02.420 This could be something coming, not just from another place, but from another time.
00:59:07.720 And that's, what's really wild to think about.
00:59:11.160 And that's what, uh, is interesting.
00:59:13.200 That's why I insist that this is interesting.
00:59:16.180 Even as 98% of the audience, their eyes are just glazing over.
00:59:21.980 Uh, but this is a fascinating stuff.
00:59:25.660 You know, I've, I've heard other predictions that, um, that, uh, this was, this is an alien
00:59:33.820 spaceship and they might be landing here, that there's reason to believe that they'll
00:59:37.380 be landing here by December.
00:59:38.940 I've read, I've read that prediction.
00:59:41.100 I've read that scientific prediction.
00:59:44.420 That's what someone saw, said on Twitter anyway.
00:59:46.520 I don't know if it was a scientist, but someone said that, I don't know what they're basing
00:59:50.520 it on, but again, I'm sold.
00:59:53.060 I'm in.
00:59:54.600 I believe.
00:59:56.940 Healthy metabolism is one of the best things you can have for your overall health and energy.
01:00:00.660 But what if you could have a real time metabolic coach that tells you what your metabolism
01:00:04.900 is doing at any given moment?
01:00:06.360 Lumen makes that a real option.
01:00:08.060 Lumen is a portable device that measures, tracks, and analyzes your metabolism.
01:00:12.240 It's the world's first handheld metabolic coach, and all you have to do is breathe into it.
01:00:16.620 Each morning, one breath can tell you whether you're burning fat or carbs.
01:00:19.880 You can check in before and after meals or workouts to see what's happening in your body
01:00:23.280 in real time.
01:00:24.340 And Lumen gives you tailored tips to optimize your nutrition, workouts, sleep, and stress
01:00:28.480 management.
01:00:29.400 Your metabolism is your body's engine.
01:00:31.100 It's how you turn food into fuel.
01:00:33.120 Since it's at the center of everything your body does, a healthy metabolism means easier
01:00:36.600 weight management, better energy, improved fitness results, and quality sleep.
01:00:40.580 That's why my producer McKenna decided to try Lumen, which found it easy to use and helped
01:00:44.600 her create a personalized nutrition plan while giving her a clear understanding of her overall
01:00:48.720 metabolic health.
01:00:49.960 Winter is the perfect season to get your health under control.

01:01:40.580 There's a discourse that has started online over this video, and I'll play the video and
01:01:49.520 then tell you what makes it interesting, because the interesting part will not be immediately
01:01:53.560 obvious to you.
01:01:54.720 When you first see it, you're going to say, this is the least interesting thing I've ever
01:01:57.240 seen, but it's a very quick little clip.
01:02:00.440 Here it is.
01:02:00.800 Now, for those listening to the audio podcast, that's a video of a person, a man, we're led
01:02:23.240 to believe, sitting alone at a restaurant and crying while he eats his mashed potatoes.
01:02:28.620 I think it's mashed potatoes.
01:02:29.700 I don't know.
01:02:29.940 And the caption on the screen says, you don't know lonely until you have to take yourself
01:02:33.380 for that meal alone, because sitting in a room with strangers is better than sitting
01:02:37.280 in your own thoughts in an empty room.
01:02:39.900 Now, first blush, nothing too fascinating going on here.
01:02:42.820 This is someone performing sadness for the camera, selling their tears for clicks.
01:02:48.120 Nothing more cynical or less sympathetic than somebody who takes a selfie video of themselves
01:02:53.400 crying.
01:02:55.640 Okay, you deserve no sympathy if you do that.
01:02:57.880 I'm sorry.
01:02:58.280 Anyone who, anyone who, if you're that desperate for sympathy, then you shouldn't get any sympathy.
01:03:04.460 It only encourages you at that point.
01:03:07.020 But this is especially strange behavior for a man, because what kind of a man cries about
01:03:12.660 eating alone at a restaurant?
01:03:14.420 Eating alone at a restaurant is great.
01:03:16.100 I mean, it's one of the life's simplest joys.
01:03:18.920 As every man knows, I've never known a man.
01:03:20.880 I've never known a man who would think to himself, oh no, I get, I get a quiet meal at
01:03:26.120 a nice restaurant by myself.
01:03:27.820 What a tragedy.
01:03:29.640 This is, this is awful.
01:03:32.340 A nice meal.
01:03:33.500 No one's talking to me.
01:03:34.620 And I just get to sit here in quiet.
01:03:37.080 Well, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
01:03:39.780 I've never known a man who would think that.
01:03:41.280 And besides, what kind of man would film this emotional meltdown and post it to TikTok?
01:03:46.640 I mean, what kind of man would look back at a video of himself crying and say, you know
01:03:50.000 what?
01:03:50.640 I need everyone to see this.
01:03:52.640 I need everyone.
01:03:54.420 I got to show, I got to show the world.
01:03:56.960 The whole world needs to see this.
01:03:58.660 Hey world, look at me crying here.
01:04:01.720 What kind of man would do that?
01:04:02.700 Well, as it turns out, the kind of man who does that is the kind of man who is not a
01:04:06.540 man.
01:04:07.080 This is, as you may have already been able to tell, apparently a female to male transgender.
01:04:13.300 It is a woman who quote unquote transitioned to a man.
01:04:17.540 That's what kind of makes it interesting.
01:04:19.500 You know, we always talk about how trans people will never actually be the sex they're trying
01:04:23.920 to be, which is obviously true.
01:04:25.800 But it's also true that, especially in the case of a trans identified female, which we don't
01:04:31.300 talk about as all, we usually talk about the other way, you know, male identified, trans
01:04:35.120 identified males.
01:04:36.780 But with, in particular, when it comes to trans identified females, they'll never, they're
01:04:40.780 never going to be a man, never going to be a male, but they may get to experience a small
01:04:47.040 sliver of the thing.
01:04:49.640 They'll never be the thing they want to be, but they may get close enough to stand in its
01:04:55.700 shadow ever so briefly.
01:04:57.480 Because if a woman goes through with the medical transition, she probably will be allotted some
01:05:03.660 tiny portion of the social experience of being a man.
01:05:08.900 She won't be a man at all.
01:05:10.980 Pre-transition, she was a billion light years away from literally being a man.
01:05:15.860 Post-transition, she is still a billion light years away.
01:05:19.260 But because of the way she looks, she will perhaps catch a hazy glimpse into the world of
01:05:26.620 men.
01:05:26.940 She'll get a small diluted sip of the cup of manhood.
01:05:32.880 And invariably, this small sip will prove to be way too much.
01:05:38.980 It's like drinking a small sip of gasoline.
01:05:41.400 It burns her, destroys her.
01:05:43.400 It eats away at her insides.
01:05:45.120 And we've seen this many times before.
01:05:46.480 We've seen many videos of these trans identified females who, you know, quote unquote, became
01:05:51.640 men and are not happy at all, are devastated when they've, like, discovered what it's like.
01:05:59.980 Ellen Page is perhaps the most prominent example of this.
01:06:03.360 It's a little bit like when I was 10 years old and I bugged my dad for a sip of his beer
01:06:07.380 because it looks delicious in the glass, right?
01:06:09.860 It's like this froth.
01:06:10.800 It looks like a root beer float or something in the glass.
01:06:12.840 Glass beer does.
01:06:13.640 And so to my surprise, my dad said, yeah.
01:06:17.200 And then watched with amusement as I took one sip and recoiled in disgust.
01:06:21.620 I mean, it looks so tempting from the outside, but then I drank and discovered that it was
01:06:25.140 bitter and foul.
01:06:27.040 And I asked my dad, I said, wait, that's what it takes like?
01:06:30.480 And you actually like this stuff?
01:06:32.540 How?
01:06:33.840 And that's the same question that women, like the one in the video or Ellen Page, ask after
01:06:39.120 they get the tiniest little sip of the male experience.
01:06:43.120 Wait, that's what this is?
01:06:45.040 And you guys like this?
01:06:48.000 What women don't realize is that the male experience is one of profound isolation.
01:06:56.920 To be a man is to be isolated and alone in a very real sense.
01:07:01.940 Now, we don't talk about it, partly because we don't fully realize it ourselves in the same
01:07:06.300 way that a fish doesn't realize he's in water.
01:07:07.960 We also don't talk about it because it would just be whining, but it's true.
01:07:12.520 Now, it is lonely to be a man.
01:07:14.000 And it's a kind of loneliness that women, as the softer, more sociable, more relational
01:07:19.580 sex, simply aren't built to endure.
01:07:23.760 Now, when I say that men are isolated, I'm not even talking about the relentless demonization
01:07:27.680 of men in our society.
01:07:28.820 That obviously has an isolating effect.
01:07:30.400 That's part of it.
01:07:31.080 But this is even deeper than that.
01:07:33.280 You know, men are isolated by nature.
01:07:34.800 It's our lot in life.
01:07:36.140 If single men, in particular, walk through a world where they are not really noticed or
01:07:42.920 valued unless they can do or provide something, and then their value only goes as far as the
01:07:49.140 thing they're doing or providing.
01:07:50.560 Now, for a young woman, especially if she's modestly attractive, which just really means
01:07:55.500 for a young woman, don't be fat.
01:07:56.760 I mean, if she's not fat, then she is, you know, in the eyes of many men, of plenty of
01:08:02.840 men will count as modestly attractive.
01:08:05.300 And so for her, it's different.
01:08:06.740 People will notice her and be nice to her just because she's there.
01:08:10.120 And she doesn't need to do anything.
01:08:12.280 It's just not that way for men.
01:08:14.760 To be a single man in today's world, in any world, but especially in today's world, is
01:08:18.920 it's about the loneliest thing.
01:08:20.960 Now, single women may be lonely too, but they typically have many more friends.
01:08:25.740 They navigate a world that treats them nicely, that goes out of its way to make them feel
01:08:29.680 valued.
01:08:31.600 That's not the case for men.
01:08:33.680 You know, a man may have a couple of friends.
01:08:35.800 He may have none at all.
01:08:38.160 But he lives in a world that just doesn't care how he feels.
01:08:42.740 Either way.
01:08:44.240 Now, once a man is married and has children, he's no longer alone.
01:08:47.320 A measure of the isolation has been taken away.
01:08:49.040 But he is called to be the emotional rock for the family, which means, as we've discussed
01:08:52.940 before, that he can't be entirely vulnerable.
01:08:56.260 You know, he cannot unload all of his stresses and frustrations all the time.
01:08:59.760 Doesn't mean he has to keep everything to himself, but there are many things that he
01:09:02.940 just has to keep to himself.
01:09:04.940 He's the leader of the home, and there is a kind of loneliness that comes with leadership.
01:09:08.700 As anyone who's ever been in a leadership position knows, right?
01:09:11.840 And this is how men were made.
01:09:13.660 Men are the ones who are called to go off and die in war.
01:09:16.580 Every society in human history since the dawn of time has treated men as expendable in a
01:09:21.300 way that women are not.
01:09:23.080 I mean, even now, if you hear about, in our enlightened age, in our enlightened egalitarian
01:09:28.160 age, if you hear about casualties in war, you'll be much more outraged and heartbroken
01:09:34.380 to hear about 10 women and children dying than to hear that 1,000 men died, right?
01:09:40.060 Human civilization is built and maintained by men who are willing to die.
01:09:45.820 There's never a lot of gratitude shown to these men.
01:09:49.900 These days, there's almost none at all.
01:09:52.760 And instead, the men who build civilization are demonized and scapegoated.
01:09:55.840 A hundred-year-old World War II veterans look around and see that everything they fought
01:09:59.680 to achieve has been squandered.
01:10:02.100 Is that isolating?
01:10:03.220 Of course it is.
01:10:03.820 You know, men have always done the thankless tasks in society, the dirty and dangerous
01:10:08.580 and unsightly things.
01:10:10.780 And now the thanklessness has turned to outright scorn.
01:10:14.300 Now, the good news for men is that we're made for this.
01:10:17.100 You know, we learn to love our lot in life.
01:10:19.000 We don't expect gratitude from the world because we never really received it.
01:10:23.040 You know, we've never been in a world where people just, like, are nice to you all the
01:10:27.460 time and want to constantly make you feel cherished and valued.
01:10:32.640 You know, it's the old stereotype about you compare a pastor's sermon on Mother's Day to
01:10:38.940 the one he gives on Father's Day.
01:10:40.420 And Mother's Day, it's always, like, telling women how wonderful they are.
01:10:44.160 And Father's Day, it's always, hey, get it together, guys.
01:10:47.480 You're failing your families.
01:10:48.660 And, you know, that's real.
01:10:50.240 That's kind of, that's the way society approaches the two sexes.
01:10:54.060 And so this is all we know.
01:10:55.020 Now, hopefully we get married and have children and, and, uh, and if we do, that's almost
01:11:00.500 all the social connection we need.
01:11:02.400 I mean, a man would be fine going to work and coming home to his wife and children and,
01:11:05.760 and, and having like no friends or connections outside of that.
01:11:09.160 In fact, some, a man even dreams of, of deeper isolation.
01:11:12.880 Part of him longs for the pioneer days when he could take his family out into the wilderness
01:11:17.000 and build a life alone out there away from everybody.
01:11:20.700 But he's not living in those days.
01:11:22.120 And, you know, his wife wants him to have friends.
01:11:23.880 And so he maintains a few friendships with other men who he sees on occasion, which is
01:11:27.720 good and healthy because men should have friends.
01:11:29.820 Absolutely.
01:11:31.340 The fraternal connection between men is important to maintain.
01:11:34.300 But the point is that most men, once they have a family, could survive just fine and
01:11:39.120 even be happy with no friends and no connection to anybody else.
01:11:43.640 A man's friendships are, are also not nearly as intense as a woman's.
01:11:46.580 A man may have a friend that he talks to like once every six months and sees even less
01:11:51.640 frequently than that.
01:11:52.500 And that's fine.
01:11:54.000 Now, my wife has friends that she calls and talks to every day.
01:11:58.520 I've, I've never met an adult man who talks to another man on the phone every day or anything
01:12:03.780 close to that.
01:12:05.280 I was like, if we talk on the phone, then like, I'll talk to you again in nine and a
01:12:08.620 half months, maybe.
01:12:10.420 But we don't need that.
01:12:11.300 What, what, what could we possibly have to say to each other every day?
01:12:14.700 If a man called me just to check in and then called the next day to check in again,
01:12:18.240 I would assume he was having some kind of mental breakdown.
01:12:21.640 That's just not how men are.
01:12:23.580 Like we don't need that much communication and connection, at least not that intensely.
01:12:29.840 So this is the good news.
01:12:31.220 Society needs men to be more isolated, less emotional, less desirous of human connection.
01:12:35.180 And men on average are all of those things.
01:12:38.140 But what happens when a woman tries to come play in our sandbox?
01:12:42.120 What happens when she takes a small dose of our medicine?
01:12:48.060 What happens when she tries to carry the burden of manhood?
01:12:51.640 Well, exactly what you would expect.
01:12:54.200 I mean, it breaks her.
01:12:55.520 Her knees buckle.
01:12:56.320 Her back gives out.
01:12:57.760 She wasn't prepared.
01:12:59.380 She couldn't have been.
01:13:01.020 Now, I'm not just talking about women who are trans.
01:13:02.840 This includes women who try to play the role of men in any form.
01:13:05.740 Women who take on combat roles in the military, police officers, try to be ruthless like corporate
01:13:11.160 girl bosses, all that stuff.
01:13:12.460 In all these cases, women are trying to do what men are uniquely built to do, not just
01:13:17.500 physically, but emotionally and psychologically.
01:13:21.280 Now, about that video of the trans female, somebody on X put it this way, that this is
01:13:25.800 a woman experiencing male social isolation without the male psychology that makes it survivable.
01:13:31.060 And I think the account's name was Hunter Ash, I think, said that.
01:13:35.400 And that about sums it up.
01:13:37.500 This is perhaps the deepest truth about the trans phenomenon, which is rarely said.
01:13:43.840 You know, we always talk about how a man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man,
01:13:49.820 which is true.
01:13:50.840 But what we don't say to the person trying to cross the divide from one sex to the other
01:13:57.140 is this.
01:13:58.500 You can't have what you want, but also, you don't really want it.
01:14:05.920 That'll do it for the show today and this week.
01:14:08.960 Talk to you on Monday.
01:14:09.860 Have a great weekend.
01:14:11.680 Godspeed.
01:14:12.120 Today on the Ben Shapiro Show, Democrats have pulled far ahead of Republicans in the generic
01:14:23.200 congressional ballot, and we examine why.
01:14:25.560 NVIDIA reports massive profits, but Target reports the opposite.
01:14:28.500 And we take a look at New York's ghost apartment.
01:14:31.040 All that on today's Ben Shapiro Show.
01:14:32.360 Give it a listen.
