00:02:17.560
In 1955, Robert Menzies, the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Australia,
00:02:23.320
sat for an interview with a radio station about the so-called White Australia Policy.
00:02:28.620
And this was a policy that, as the name implies, prohibited most people of non-European ancestry from entering Australia.
00:02:37.640
The White Australia Policy was not implemented with a law that explicitly banned any particular ethnicity.
00:02:44.160
Australia's parliament couldn't have gotten away with that because the British government,
00:02:47.520
which still held authority over Australia and which ruled over a vast empire of many different ethnicities,
00:02:53.900
So instead, Australia's parliament implemented the White Australia Policy beginning in 1901
00:02:58.880
with a dictation test that was administered to new arrivals to the country.
00:03:03.840
The test looks something like this, which you can see.
00:03:07.860
Immigration officers would demand that migrants write down one of these passages in their presence
00:03:14.180
after it was read to them in a European language, not necessarily English.
00:03:19.340
And if the migrant couldn't do it, they would not be allowed into the country.
00:03:22.700
Because the immigration officer could arbitrarily pick a European language for the test,
00:03:28.580
it was an extremely easy test to rig, which, of course, was the whole point.
00:03:33.020
Even if a foreigner was capable of speaking good English,
00:03:36.140
immigration officers could still give him a test in French or Greek or something.
00:03:41.540
There was a well-known case where the Australian government wanted to turn away a communist named Egon Kish.
00:03:47.060
But because he was fluent in many different European languages,
00:03:49.700
they decided to administer his dictation test in Scottish Gaelic.
00:03:56.580
But for the most part, the policy was effective in the sense that it accomplished its goals.
00:04:00.940
Australia remained a mostly white nation without apology.
00:04:05.500
And when he was asked about the policy in 1955,
00:04:08.040
the Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, forcefully defended it.
00:04:13.300
Do you believe that the so-called White Australia policy will always be a stumbling block?
00:04:18.900
I don't think it's such a stumbling block as people pretend.
00:04:33.140
So long as we possibly can, we ought to aim at having a homogeneous population.
00:04:38.160
I don't want to see reproduced in Australia the kind of problem they have in South Africa,
00:04:44.280
or in America, or increasingly in Great Britain.
00:04:54.820
And most of the criticism of it that I've ever heard
00:05:05.120
For these views, of course, in the past, Sir Robert, you have been described as a racist.
00:05:11.740
Well, if I were not described as a racist, I'd be the only public man who hasn't been.
00:05:20.020
One of these mod words you call a man a racist.
00:05:24.860
So this was in the 1950s, and they were already tired of being called racist.
00:05:34.000
What's interesting is that even as he defended the white Australia policy,
00:05:41.980
Just a couple of years after this interview, the dictation test was abolished while Menzies was still in power.
00:05:47.220
It was replaced with a system that, in theory, would still allow for the arbitrary exclusion of potential migrants.
00:05:55.380
Increasingly, non-Europeans were encouraged to migrate to Australia,
00:05:59.360
particularly if they were so-called high-skilled immigrants.
00:06:06.780
The Cold War was underway, and Australia didn't want to alienate Asian countries in particular
00:06:16.040
So the government of Australia began to compromise on its hardline anti-immigrant stance.
00:06:20.660
They insisted that, in general, they'd preserve Australia's identity, even as they opened the floodgates.
00:06:29.140
By the end of the 20th century, Australia was rapidly becoming unrecognizable.
00:06:32.780
In 1981, there were roughly 75,000 Muslims in Australia.
00:06:39.700
Over the next five years, that number grew even further to 147,000.
00:06:43.600
By 1996, there was a similar jump, up to 200,000.
00:06:47.300
And the pace continued to the point that, by 2011, there were 479,000 Muslims in the country.
00:06:54.940
And now, as of the most recent census, more than 815,000 live in Australia.
00:07:01.520
That's an increase of nearly 1,000% from the 1980s.
00:07:06.120
And it's almost certainly a vast undercount of the true figure of Muslims in Australia,
00:07:10.820
since that data is now several years old, and it relies on self-reported numbers from mostly legal migrants.
00:07:20.300
What happens to a nation that, within a half century, stops caring about homogeneity
00:07:25.660
and embraces foreigners from Pakistan and Lebanon and Turkey and so on?
00:07:31.980
Well, as Menzies predicted, you get dysfunction.
00:07:41.240
And as we saw yesterday, you get mass shootings targeting innocent men, women, and children
00:07:44.980
because of their faith, which is what took place yesterday, as you've seen, in Sydney.
00:07:51.660
Now, you've probably seen the videos all over social media.
00:08:07.760
That goes on for several minutes, several more minutes from what you saw there, with no police in sight.
00:08:12.700
It was a few months ago that we explored the sudden rise of machete attacks in Australia,
00:08:19.380
as you may remember, which really seemed to confound officials in Australia.
00:08:23.600
They couldn't figure out why these attacks were so common, given that it was illegal to possess a machete,
00:08:28.720
much less use one to stab a random white guy in a shopping mall.
00:08:32.040
All they were sure about in Australia was that the attacks had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that,
00:08:37.860
in 2024, net foreign migration into Australia amounted to more than half a million foreigners,
00:08:42.900
or the fact that many of these foreigners come from countries, like Nigeria or Bangladesh,
00:08:50.120
If the machete attacks demonstrated anything, the Australians told us,
00:08:55.380
After all, the assailants couldn't access firearms.
00:08:57.660
They were reduced to waving machetes around at their hapless victims instead of handguns,
00:09:02.480
which is supposed to be some kind of improvement, I guess.
00:09:05.720
And therefore, because Australia doesn't have a Second Amendment,
00:09:11.740
First of all, whenever Australians or anyone else tries to make this argument,
00:09:14.920
in every single case, they'll ignore who is committing gun crime in the U.S.
00:09:23.180
Because the overwhelming majority of gun violence is committed by racial minorities
00:09:31.780
In other words, the very same Australians who will tell you that a white Australia policy
00:09:36.220
was hardly racist and that no country should ever implement anything remotely like it ever again,
00:09:40.900
will also turn around and fault the United States for crimes that are overwhelmingly committed
00:09:48.820
They want America to become a non-white country as quickly as possible,
00:09:52.940
even though, as we've seen, the inevitable result of that kind of policy in every case
00:10:01.160
It's true in Canada, the U.K., and it's true in Australia, as we saw on Sunday.
00:10:05.620
Australia's gun laws did not, in fact, prevent mass-murdering Islamists from gunning down Jews on Sunday.
00:10:11.760
The shooter is a father and son named Sajid and Naveed Akram, who's confirmed as a Pakistani national,
00:10:19.180
in case you couldn't tell from the Australian-sounding name,
00:10:22.820
legally possessed six firearms, including bolt-action rifles and what appears to be pump-action shotguns.
00:10:29.860
But the gun laws did prevent the victims from defending themselves in any meaningful way.
00:10:36.420
At one point, a bystander charged in and managed to disarm the shooter,
00:10:42.140
as you've probably seen this incredible footage.
00:10:45.740
But it appeared that he didn't know how to work the bolt-action rifle,
00:10:49.540
or maybe he didn't try to shoot, or he didn't want to shoot.
00:10:53.380
Maybe he was worried about the fact that he's in Australia,
00:10:56.560
and if he kills an actual terrorist, that he's going to go to prison.
00:11:02.000
So, for whatever the reason, he didn't shoot the guy.
00:11:04.460
And so the jihadist simply retreated and grabbed another firearm and kept shooting.
00:11:13.220
The gentleman who raced into the scene to disarm one of the gunmen,
00:11:18.800
we're just learning some details about him because he has been shot.
00:11:21.940
Now, we are confident in saying that that is him.
00:11:25.440
One of his relatives has just spoken to one of our reporters.
00:11:29.980
We understand that this gentleman's name is Ahmed Al-Ahmed.
00:11:32.700
He's a 43-year-old married father of two, and he raced in to help.
00:11:40.000
We understand, apparently, he owns a fruit shop in Sutherland.
00:11:45.580
We are told that he has two bullets in his arm, but they think he's going to be okay.
00:11:59.420
And so the leftists on social media, in particular, who are big believers that diversity is our strength,
00:12:10.860
And I don't think we actually know this guy's Muslim.
00:12:13.980
It seems like a safe assumption, although we don't know it for a fact.
00:12:18.620
Now, the problem with saying that is that, well, so what?
00:12:22.240
We need to import Muslims so they can stop other Muslims from shooting and killing innocent civilians?
00:12:32.140
And then the other reality, unfortunately, is that, as we said, I mean, it's a great, it takes a lot of courage to go and tackle a guy who's got a gun.
00:12:46.840
But then the terrorists just left and picked up another gun and started shooting.
00:12:51.620
So that raises a lot of questions, a lot of points.
00:12:54.820
And one of them is that if this man or any other victim had been allowed to legally own handguns in Australia,
00:13:00.880
then this shooting would have been over very quickly.
00:13:06.220
You know, it wouldn't have gone on for 20 minutes.
00:13:10.500
I mean, imagine if the good Samaritan there had been able to sneak up from behind him,
00:13:14.540
and rather than wrestling, having to wrestle a gun, like get into a fight for his life with his bare hands,
00:13:21.700
Of course, then you also need laws that would allow people to kill terrorists without then, you know,
00:13:35.220
You know, there were a thousand people on the beach nearby.
00:13:37.840
One of them, if anyone was allowed to own handguns, would have shot these terrorists or at least forced them to retreat.
00:13:44.200
And that's not an academic or theoretical point.
00:13:46.680
A few years ago, a mass shooter walked into a church in Texas armed with a shotgun.
00:13:51.200
And six seconds after he opened fire, he was shot and killed by armed parishioners.
00:13:55.420
They all swarmed him with their handguns, preventing a mass casualty event.
00:14:00.760
Video captures the moment a gunman wearing a dark hoodie emerges from a back pew,
00:14:05.840
drawing his gun and firing inside this Texas church during Sunday morning service.
00:14:21.360
Six seconds into the shooting, two members of the church security team returned fire,
00:14:25.940
hitting the gunman, dropping him to the ground.
00:14:36.260
Inside the church, at least five other parishioners pulled out handguns and carefully approached a fallen gunman.
00:14:44.880
It was a sad thing that he had to come into the congregation and hurt people,
00:14:49.780
Now, you usually don't hear much about stories like this, even though they happen actually pretty frequently.
00:14:56.020
It's in the left's interest to mock the idea of a good guy with a gun and act like it's a cliche, but it's not.
00:15:03.520
Good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns.
00:15:05.660
I mean, that's not, might be a cliche, but it happens to be true.
00:15:10.180
You know, what they don't have to do is stare blankly ahead at the people trying to murder them,
00:15:30.940
Now, unfortunately, it was not just the bystanders who froze when the shooting started.
00:15:35.400
Again, this attack went on for a long time, more than 15 minutes by some estimates.
00:15:40.640
And it took place within walking distance of a police station.
00:15:50.920
Now, imagine using one of those safe trade zones or a safe exchange center after seeing
00:15:57.620
If the police aren't going to respond quickly to a mass shooting next door, what are they
00:16:02.880
going to do if somebody robs you during your Craigslist sale?
00:16:09.460
Now, in short, there's no excuse as to why the entire police department wasn't running
00:16:19.480
How is this thing not over in 30 seconds, let alone 20 minutes?
00:16:22.820
But they were allowed to just pick people off with impunity.
00:16:28.400
I watched a video that many people see now where the two shooters stood on a bridge, like
00:16:34.640
just firing for five straight minutes, casually, just kind of standing there.
00:16:41.540
And here's an image of what one of the police officers was doing during that time.
00:16:46.240
If you're wondering where they all were, well, she was hiding behind a vehicle in a tactical
00:16:54.240
This is a very tactical maneuver, you see, to just cower behind a vehicle while the bad
00:16:59.260
guy continues to slaughter innocent civilians at will.
00:17:04.000
And indeed, according to one witness, police officers, some of whom appear to be women,
00:17:07.960
simply did nothing while the attack was unfolding.
00:17:14.520
There was two shooters, one on the bridge, one under the bridge, just out to shoot for
00:17:20.100
They shoot, shoot, change, change the magazine and just shoot.
00:17:32.140
Like, they froze for, it looked like 20 minutes.
00:17:39.600
Now, as Douglas Mackey said, this really is the mass shooting that has everything.
00:17:44.220
You've got the jihadis imported from abroad in the name of multiculturalism.
00:17:47.680
You've got a nation with one of the most aggressive forms of gun control imaginable that somehow
00:17:51.200
failed to prevent the jihadis from assembling a small arsenal.
00:17:55.160
You've got the DEI police officers who spend most of their time arresting grandmothers for
00:18:00.820
being racist online, ducking for cover as the jihadis indiscriminately open fire in broad
00:18:07.340
You couldn't invent a better scenario to expose the complete incompetence of Australia's government
00:18:13.160
and the abject failure of the leftist ideology that's taken hold there and everywhere else
00:18:21.140
And yet, in the aftermath of the shooting, we all know how the Australian government and
00:18:24.420
probably the Australian people are going to respond.
00:18:27.540
They're not going to fault the police department for doing nothing.
00:18:30.560
They're not going to fault their government for importing Muslims from the third world.
00:18:34.060
They're not going to address any of the reasons this attack occurred.
00:18:37.820
Instead, they're going to punish the native population.
00:18:40.760
They're going to try to ban all firearms for civilian use, including bolt-action rifles and
00:18:46.260
They're going to attempt to completely disarm Australians and eliminate the right to possess
00:18:52.880
They're going to say that while they made tremendous strides in reducing gun violence by banning most
00:18:58.340
rifles and handguns, well, now they have to go all the way and ban every other firearm as well.
00:19:03.100
And exhibit A, in their argument, will be this footage.
00:19:20.220
So they're going to play that footage on repeat as evidence that bolt-action rifles can be just
00:19:31.100
A bolt-action rifle, especially in the hands of an experienced shooter, can easily result
00:19:35.020
in, you know, even more fatalities than an AR-15.
00:19:38.260
The hunting rifle shoots bigger bullets with more power.
00:19:41.580
It might have a slower rate of fire, but not by that much.
00:19:44.920
A lot of Australians probably didn't realize that until today.
00:19:50.540
The problem is not simply that once you ban all civilian ownership of firearms, you make
00:19:54.900
it impossible for farmers to protect their livestock and land.
00:19:58.460
The problem is not simply that feral pigs will destroy the crops.
00:20:04.260
The problem is not simply that the entire industry of recreational hunting will disappear overnight,
00:20:10.060
Make no mistake, those are very real and catastrophic outcomes, but they're not the worst part.
00:20:14.540
The real problem is that once you ban all civilian ownership of firearms, the population will become
00:20:22.320
The government, of course, will retain its firearms, firearms which its law enforcement
00:20:26.200
agents will be too afraid to actually use against the bad guys.
00:20:30.520
And they'll have no problem using those firearms to enforce, you know, the next lockdown or free
00:20:36.920
The foreign invaders, meanwhile, will keep every firearm they own, which appears to be a large
00:20:42.380
number given that these two jihadis managed to legally possess six of them.
00:20:51.240
The only people who will be subjugated, as always, are the law-abiding Australians, who
00:20:57.160
are still pretending that Robert Menzies was wrong back in 1955.
00:21:03.260
And they're entitled to that opinion, of course.
00:21:06.000
They're entitled to believe that borders are racist and that firearms are the root of their
00:21:12.460
Just one more gun ban, it'll fix everything, they tell themselves.
00:21:19.380
And it will be the last rallying cry in Australian politics for all time, because once they fully
00:21:25.780
eliminate the right to bear arms, what's left of Australian democracy will die along with
00:21:33.220
The lesson for Americans, once again, is to prevent the slippery slope from taking hold in the
00:21:40.060
Once Australia committed to gun confiscation, there was no going back.
00:21:45.020
So-called assault rifle bans and restrictions on handguns are just the beginning.
00:21:49.380
The NRA, as beleaguered as the organization may be, is right about this.
00:21:53.220
Turns out that when someone is determined to kill lots of people, they're going to kill
00:21:57.320
lots of people, whether they use U-Hauls, as in the attack in France in 2016, or bolt-action
00:22:01.680
rifles, as here, or University of Texas, or the Bath School disaster in Michigan, handguns,
00:22:07.160
as in Virginia Tech, or the Charleston Church, pump shotguns, as in the Navy Yard shooting,
00:22:13.740
Australia has made the fatal mistake of allowing foreign terrorists into their country while
00:22:23.240
And they've done this on the theory that rules are sufficient in and of themselves to
00:22:35.200
You also need to ensure that your country is full of people who are willing to follow those
00:22:40.540
And in that very important respect, Australia has clearly failed.
00:22:47.600
And Sunday was a very important reminder of what will happen in this country if we repeat

00:24:09.560
There are a lot of perks to owning a home versus renting from a landlord, but one of the
00:24:12.880
things that most people dread about buying and owning a home are the expensive repairs
00:24:17.940
Regular homeowners insurance does not cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical
00:24:22.820
issues, leaving you on your own to cover the repairs.

Let's start with some entertainment news, kind of lighten things up a little bit.
00:25:31.520
Although I'm afraid to say this is not positive entertainment news.
00:25:34.960
This is news of the new adaptation of the George Orwell classic Animal Farm, which of course,
00:25:41.940
when it was written in 1945 or 1946 or whatever it was, 1940s, it was meant to be a grim, stark
00:25:51.240
allegory, a warning about communism, as I think everyone knows.
00:25:57.100
And the new Animal Farm is directed by Andy Serkis, the guy who played Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
00:26:04.100
And it's another one of those animated films with a star-studded voice cast.
00:26:10.220
Seth Rogen, for some reason, I don't know why he keeps getting these voice acting roles.
00:26:17.200
Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Woody Harrelson, a bunch of big names.
00:26:20.580
None of whom are, you know, have any real talent for voice acting because movie studios don't hire
00:26:29.260
I mean, they stopped doing that a long time ago.
00:26:30.640
They just hire regular actors because they value the name recognition over the craft,
00:26:35.280
the art itself of voice acting, even though voice acting is an art.
00:26:39.400
But anyway, that's the least of our problems here when it comes to this movie, if we can
00:28:12.420
So I don't think I've ever seen a movie that so thoroughly fails to capture the tone and meaning
00:28:19.640
I mean, we've seen many attempts at adaptations that have failed spectacularly, but I don't think
00:28:29.560
we've ever seen one that is quite this off, even just tonally.
00:28:33.500
So they've taken this masterpiece of literature, which was supposed to be a warning about communism,
00:28:38.640
and they've turned it into this slapstick, kid-friendly, zootopia type of thing with pop music and fart jokes.
00:28:48.860
And worst of all, and most predictably of all, they've completely removed the core message, the point, about communism.
00:28:57.720
And apparently in this film, they've invented a new villain who is, of course, a rich white capitalist
00:29:04.120
scheming to take over the farm or whatever, which, if you've never read the book, or if it's been a long time,
00:29:11.520
you read it in middle school or something, that villain is not in that book.
00:29:17.000
And it's even worse than it appears in the trailer.
00:29:22.840
In this CGI retelling, Circus, who rose to prominence as Gollum, Lord of the Rings,
00:29:27.400
has said he wanted to make Orwell's work accessible and not overtly political
00:29:35.220
He would take a political allegory and make it not political.
00:29:38.820
Okay, so you just want to make a different movie, is what you want to do.
00:29:42.820
So you just want to make a movie about animals on a farm.
00:29:52.020
You just want to make a movie about silly animals on a farm
00:29:55.040
and a big, evil billionaire person who's trying to take over the farm.
00:30:07.380
Rather than serving as a critique of totalitarian Soviet Russia,
00:30:10.300
the film shifts its focus towards the dangers of capitalism and corporate corruption.
00:30:16.740
And then Circus has also sought to give the story a more optimistic ending,
00:30:20.300
explaining why at a roundtable discussion in July, he said,
00:30:24.840
In the final scenes, Lucky confronts Napoleon, Orwell's Joseph Stalin figure,
00:30:36.220
before the animals overthrow their pig leaders and plan for a better future.
00:30:41.940
I mean, you remember one of the greatest final lines in the history of Western literature,
00:30:51.160
The creatures outside look from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again,
00:30:55.480
but already it was impossible to say which is which.
00:31:03.780
So they've gotten rid of that in favor of some kind of message about unity and friendship or whatever.
00:31:09.060
Um, I mean, this is like doing that, especially to the end of the story.
00:31:17.420
It's like if they re, it's exactly like if they remade The Godfather as a slapstick children's movie.
00:31:25.620
And rather than the iconic end of part one, I mean, part two has an iconic end too,
00:31:29.820
but part one, one of the greatest film endings, maybe the greatest of all time,
00:31:33.820
where we see, you know, from Michael Corleone's wife, wife's perspective,
00:31:37.860
and we see Michael Corleone and, and, and, you know, he gives his hand to a guy,
00:31:42.260
he calls him Godfather, and then they shut the door, you know, and it's just a great ending.
00:31:47.500
And it's like, it's like if they, if they made a remake of that, took that out.
00:31:51.820
And instead at the end, it's like if, if Michael Corleone started dancing to a black eyed peas song,
00:32:00.660
and then his wife joins in and then Michael Corleone does the moonwalk and,
00:32:07.140
and Clemenza sees it and turns to Fredo and says, uh, that just happened.
00:32:13.860
And they start dancing too. It's like that. It's like, that's basically what they did.
00:32:20.360
I hate everything. Even aside from like losing the message of the story,
00:32:23.740
which is the whole reason it exists. It's also just bad in every other way.
00:32:28.600
And that's so much of kids entertainment today. I mean, again, putting aside the message,
00:32:34.360
which usually a lot of times the message is bad, but, um, it's just, it's, it's the animation sucks.
00:32:41.720
It's dull. It's lifeless, bland, boring, lazy. The humor is the same jokes from every other animated
00:32:48.000
kids movie that's ever been made. I guarantee there's a scene. I'm going to call this right now.
00:32:52.960
I guarantee there's a scene in this movie. Guarantee it. But I put a thousand dollars on this
00:32:57.020
movie where one of the animals is complaining about Napoleon, the pig, and then Napoleon
00:33:03.900
walks up behind him and the other animal goes, he's right behind me. Isn't he? I guarantee that's
00:33:10.000
that is in the movie. I guarantee it. Haven't read the script. I just know that it's in it.
00:33:16.380
Um, and you know, it's really sad. They've been developing this thing for 14 years,
00:33:20.400
a decade and a half to produce the laziest, most banal, pointless piece of crap we've ever seen
00:33:27.760
a decade and a half to desecrate George Orwell's grave.
00:33:34.020
And, uh, and not even subverting it. I mean, not even subverting it in a bold or interesting way,
00:33:41.220
but subverting it with Seth Rogen and bad puns. Horrendous, horrendous all around.

So they're debating a euthanasia bill in the UK. And I just want to show you this moment from the
00:34:46.420
debate. I had to watch this back a couple of times because part of me couldn't believe that it was
00:34:52.140
real, but then the other part of me absolutely can believe that it's real. It is real. Turns out
00:34:58.200
anyway, I just want you to listen to this exchange here. Listen to this.
00:35:02.520
Other states around the world who have, who have had assisted dying for some time, we have
00:35:06.880
a differences of view in Oregon since 1997. Uh, the, there is a requirement to keep the mother alive
00:35:14.120
as long as possible, particularly when there is a viable fetus in the Netherlands takes a completely
00:35:20.300
different view. Uh, and that is one of fetus side where the fetus has to be terminated, uh, by one
00:35:29.020
means or another, often by intercardial injection of potassium chloride, um, before the mother can be
00:35:35.500
euthanized, which, which end of the scale does the noble and learned Lord prefer these things? Because
00:35:41.340
we are in a situation where the Royal Colleges are against this whole system. And we are, we will be
00:35:48.460
relying on them to fill in the gaps of this legislation. I think it is incumbent upon us
00:35:53.740
to fill those gaps in for them because they're not keen on this is, and the noble Lord puts it
00:36:03.240
accurately. Some countries have taken one view and other countries have taken another. It's clear
00:36:09.460
from the choice that I am supporting that we take the view that pregnancy should not be a bar to it.
00:36:18.460
Pregnancy should not be a bar to euthanasia. He says, and which is easily one of the most repugnant
00:36:28.220
things that's ever been said by anyone ever. I mean, that is a, that's murder suicide, which is probably
00:36:39.780
the darkest crime a person can commit. The amount of hate that it requires to do it.
00:36:48.260
That's like, that's a human being at, at that's hate all the way up to the brim. I mean, that's at capacity.
00:36:53.540
Capacity. I don't think a person, a human being can experience can be more hateful than that.
00:36:58.720
That you're going to take yourself out. And, uh, rather than just doing that, you're going to
00:37:03.300
take someone or a bunch of people out with you, hate and cowardice at its most extreme. Like it's
00:37:10.340
the most extreme manifestation of hate and cowardice together is a murder suicide. So, uh, and that's what
00:37:16.400
they're talking about. So, so now think about what it requires for a person to actually legally endorse
00:37:25.080
murder suicide. I mean, it's one thing to be the person committing this terrible act,
00:37:31.760
right? Which is evil. And as we said, evil and cowardice at its most extreme, but then to be
00:37:38.880
someone who's like looking back sort of coolly and calmly and casually coldly, um, and endorsing it
00:37:47.120
and saying, yeah, I'm okay with that. Yes. I'm in favor of murder suicide in some context. That's
00:37:54.560
what the guy said. And this is what's happening. You know, euthanasia is spreading like a cancer
00:37:59.740
across the Western world. I talked about this, uh, on what was on Tucker's show last week.
00:38:06.140
And we talked about this is a good conversation, by the way, if I do say so myself, so you should
00:38:10.780
go check that out on his page. But we talked about this about euthanasia and, um, it's, it's spreading
00:38:16.440
and the Western world is quite literally killing itself. And this is an issue. I mean, it's one of the
00:38:21.920
biggest issues that we face right now. It's one of the greatest threats. Um, and I mean,
00:38:29.740
euthanasia is a leading cause of death in Canada. We've talked about it on this show quite a
00:38:33.040
bit, but it isn't talked about nearly as much as it should be on the right. And I think that's,
00:38:42.520
and, and, and there's, there's, there's part of the, part of the reason why it's not talked
00:38:48.160
about among like the commentator class is that there's not a lot of interest in it.
00:38:53.960
And I know that because when I've talked about it on the show, there's not, you know, those,
00:38:57.460
those videos don't exactly, uh, take off usually, you know, it's like, you know, it's not going
00:39:03.060
to go viral. Uh, people aren't, aren't too tempted to click on that, which is fine. I think it's
00:39:09.280
worth talking about. So I'm going to talk about it. You choose to listen or not. And, um, I think
00:39:15.060
that's partly because it's so dark and so depressing and people don't want to think about it.
00:39:21.380
And, uh, honestly, another factor, and this shouldn't be a factor, but it is, but another
00:39:29.080
factor is that platforms, pretty much all of them make it really difficult to talk about an issue
00:39:33.620
like this. Like there's a reason why you hear YouTubers using absolutely awful, mind numbing
00:39:41.020
euphemisms like, uh, self delete and, you know, unalive yourself, stuff like that. Things I will,
00:39:47.380
I refuse categorically to ever say, I'll never use those terms except I just did say them, but
00:39:53.500
you know, I'm not going to use them in, in unironically. So it's hard to talk about because
00:39:58.580
it's so dark and depressing. It's also hard to talk about because of the speech restrictions,
00:40:01.740
uh, on talking about things like suicide. And on top of that, and I think that this, this really
00:40:09.740
is it. I think a lot of people, a lot of conservatives still lack the framing. They lack the language
00:40:16.760
the philosophical grounding to actually explain why it's bad. And I think that's why a lot of
00:40:24.560
conservatives avoid, especially again, commentators, pundits, whatever podcasters. Um, a lot of them
00:40:32.620
don't talk about this very much. And this is one of the reasons why is that they can't really explain
00:40:36.700
why it's bad. They know that it is intuitively, intuitively. We all recognize that it's a bad
00:40:43.160
thing, but I think a lot of people, uh, don't have the, they can't, they can't explain it.
00:40:49.600
And, um, why can't they explain it? Well, because euthanasia, it's an individual choice.
00:40:55.660
Allegedly, um, people choose to do it. Allegedly, I say allegedly, because in reality, a lot of these
00:41:02.320
people are not in the right frame of mind. So I think they cannot consent to it actually, but
00:41:06.140
in theory, they're consenting to it. It's this kind of consent based morality, which I think a lot of
00:41:13.780
people in the Western world subscribe to, even if they don't think about it or know it, including
00:41:18.360
conservatives, they subscribe to this consent based morality, which tells them that as long as
00:41:23.340
whatever is happening, as long as everybody involved consented to it, then it's automatically okay.
00:41:28.920
Which is wrong. Okay. Consent is just, that's just step one before we can determine, that's just
00:41:35.840
the, that's, that's, that's ground level, right? If you want to determine whether something is okay,
00:41:43.580
you know, two people or a group of people are engaging in something. Yeah. Well, first we need
00:41:47.740
to know that everybody involved chose to be part of it, that no one's being forced at gunpoint
00:41:51.420
into whatever this thing is, but just because they all chose, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's okay.
00:41:58.920
Because there are other, that's just the first item on the checklist, right? There are other
00:42:02.720
things on the checklist. It's not the only item, but that's what a lot of people subscribe to. And
00:42:09.940
so it, you know, euthanasia, everybody consents again. Allegedly, I'll stop saying that, but you
00:42:17.040
know, it's, I'm put the air quotes, right? Everybody consents. And also it doesn't harm anybody else,
00:42:23.380
supposedly. And, um, now in the case of a pregnant woman getting euthanasia, obviously it does harm
00:42:31.640
someone else, but generally euthanasia kills one person and, uh, and that's a person who is choosing
00:42:38.380
to be killed. And so for that reason, because conservatism is so deeply infected with the
00:42:44.460
libertarian virus, they just aren't able to articulate why it's bad. Even though, again,
00:42:51.800
intuitively we can all look at this and see human beings being systematically euthanized
00:42:57.320
at scale. We can all look at that and say, this is obviously not good. Like this is clearly not a
00:43:05.940
good thing. So let me explain why it's bad. Okay. I'll just lay this out very briefly.
00:43:13.480
There are a few very important reasons, like three, more than three, but let's talk about
00:43:18.920
three. Uh, first of all, it inverts the field of medicine. It's, it turns medicine on its head.
00:43:26.160
It, it destroys medicine, the field, it destroys the field because it turns doctors into killers.
00:43:33.500
It turns death into a treatment. And once you've turned death into treatment, you have destroyed
00:43:39.560
the concept of medicine. Just conceptually you have obliterated it because treatment is the opposite
00:43:47.740
of that. Treatment is supposed to ease human suffering and help people as much as possible
00:43:54.480
to avoid death so that it can be healed and treated. So they don't die. Um, you go to a doctor
00:44:01.580
because you don't want to die and you want to, uh, you know, you want treatment and you want to
00:44:07.020
cure whatever it is. Well, with euthanasia, it is using death as a treatment. And so, uh, life itself
00:44:16.120
becomes essentially the disease that like, what, what do we treat it? What is it? If, if euthanasia
00:44:21.660
is a valid medical procedure, well, any medical procedure treats an illness of some kind. That's
00:44:28.320
why it's medicine. Again, that's, that's what makes it medicine is that it's treating some kind
00:44:32.960
of illness. So when you give somebody a poison pill and kill them, what are you treating? What
00:44:40.080
is the illness that's being treated? Well, the illness is a life itself. That's the illness.
00:44:46.560
Once life has been turned into the illness, then medicine has been, uh, the field of medicine has
00:44:52.840
been destroyed. Uh, so that's one thing. Second thing is that it opens a door that can't be shut.
00:44:58.580
This is the slippery slope that, you know, that's, that's what it is. And that's why conservatives
00:45:05.320
who had, who were pressured enough, um, saw this years and years ago. And when euthanasia was, was,
00:45:14.580
was, uh, for the most part restricted to people who are terminally ill, who are going to be dead
00:45:19.860
anyway, very soon. That's how it always starts is with, you know, it's like you start with the old
00:45:25.020
boiling the frog thing. Temperature starts, uh, warm and gets hotter and hotter and hotter. So
00:45:30.500
originally that's what it was. And, uh, yet you had some conservatives who said,
00:45:35.820
well, yeah, it's, this is where it's starting, but it's not going to, once you have done this,
00:45:43.340
once you've opened this door or once to keep the frog analogy going, once you've turned the stove on,
00:45:48.480
it's not going to be turned back off. That's not how these things work.
00:45:51.660
And then, and then third, but, and here's really the big one. I mean, this is really the reason.
00:45:58.980
And, um, this is the kind of argument that conservatives need to be able to make,
00:46:04.020
or you are basically useless as a conservative mouthpiece. If you can't make this argument,
00:46:12.640
which is that your life is not your own. You don't have a right to end your own life.
00:46:20.420
Because your life is not yours. Your life does not belong to you. It is not a, it is not an object
00:46:30.060
that you own. And I think this is the case that so many people are unable or unwilling to make,
00:46:38.120
which makes them very ineffective generally as advocates for anything. You have to be able to
00:46:45.360
make this case. Your life is not your own. Your life is not yours. You are not some sort of atomized
00:46:52.340
individual entity that popped into existence out of the ether spontaneously. That's not what happened.
00:46:59.360
You were created by God. Your life belongs to God. Your life belongs to a force and authority,
00:47:04.840
a power far greater, infinitely greater than yourself. You know, it's kind of like on a,
00:47:13.020
on a much smaller scale and much lower stakes. Uh, it's, this is a concept that a lot of the
00:47:19.540
parents teach their kids. Um, like, you know, I've, uh, this is a speech I've given to my kids about
00:47:28.280
their bedrooms. I gave it to my daughter, this speech the other day, again, because the room was
00:47:34.860
a big mess. As always, I said, go clean it. Starts complaining. Oh, it's my room. Why can't I just
00:47:40.180
keep it how I want? Well, the answer is, well, no, no. Oh, you think it's your room? No, it's not your
00:47:47.780
room. Now you see, this is my room. This is my room. This room is my room. The closet over there,
00:47:54.520
that's my closet. And the dresser, that's my dresser. And the side table next to the bed,
00:47:58.680
it's actually mine. The bed, mine. The floor, mine. You see this little throw rug over here?
00:48:03.540
That's, that's also mine. You see all that stuff over there, all the stuff you haven't cleaned that,
00:48:07.960
you know, you, you just threw into a corner rather than cleaning it. All that stuff there is mine.
00:48:12.440
That is all mine. This whole thing is mine. The house is mine. Every square inch of this house is
00:48:16.780
mine. It's not yours. No, because you didn't buy it. You're not ultimately responsible for it.
00:48:22.500
Okay. That's me. So this is actually mine. I let you because I'm generous. I allow you
00:48:30.720
to stay in this room and use it, but it's not yours. And, uh, this is the same thing that God
00:48:41.120
says to us because we're all petulant children, uh, to God. And we all, we all say we all become much
00:48:49.220
like the whiny child in many contexts where we say, this is my, my, it's my life. It's mine.
00:48:55.120
And God says, uh, no, it's not yours. It's not yours. I give it to you. I lend it to you. I allow
00:49:01.120
you to have this amazing blessing called life, but it's not yours to just do what you want with.
00:49:10.800
right? I say to my kids, this is a, this is a room I've given you to stay in with, with conditions.
00:49:22.620
And you better follow that condition or you're not going to have this anymore.
00:49:26.460
That's it. You don't have to like it. You're also not the authority here. I am right.
00:49:31.200
Well, God says to us, you're not the authority here. I am. I give you this with conditions.
00:49:35.660
So that's the argument, you know, and by the way, your life also belongs, uh, to, uh, in a, in a less
00:49:47.700
kind of absolute sense, but it also, but still in a real sense, it belongs to your family and your
00:49:53.040
children and, you know, your spouse, your friends, even to your community, your country, you know, not,
00:49:59.380
not in the sense of, of you being owned like a slave or something like an object. That's not what I
00:50:03.780
mean. I mean that your existence comes with obligations to the people around you. And it's
00:50:09.280
not just yours. It's not this thing that you're like possessing. Um, that's, that's not what it is.
00:50:18.680
And, uh, and that's a point just about life that in, in that, that, that becomes the foundation
00:50:26.000
really for all of the arguments we make as conservatives. Anyway, it all, it all starts with that.
00:50:33.780
All of that is just a really much more wordy way of saying that you're not God.
00:50:40.060
You know, you, you, as a person, you are not God. Um, it's like the, what the priest says in,
00:50:47.520
in Rudy that I've learned two things. One is that there is a God and two is that I'm not him.
00:50:54.600
And that's, that's it. It's kind of in a lot of ways, the foundation of conservatism.
00:50:58.340
And you're not God. This Christmas season, you could help change a life. Picture a young woman
00:51:04.320
who just found out she's pregnant and wasn't expecting it. She's scared, maybe doesn't have
00:51:08.840
much support and isn't sure what her options are. That's exactly who our sponsor pre-born
00:51:13.660
ministries is there for. They offer free ultrasounds and counseling to women facing these tough decisions.
00:51:18.700
Sometimes just seeing that ultrasound and talking to someone who cares and makes all the difference
00:51:22.740
in the world. When a woman is facing that difficult decision, pre-born is there to help. When a woman
00:51:26.560
sees her baby's ultrasound at pre-born, everything can change. That moment often gives her the courage
00:51:31.700
to choose life. This Christmas, just $28 can sponsor an ultrasound. And right now your gift
00:51:37.320
is doubled through a matching grant to donate, dial pound two 50 and say baby or visit pre-born.com
00:51:42.600
slash Walsh. That's pound two 50 keyword, baby or pre-born.com slash Walsh. All right. Here's a
00:51:49.520
Kentucky state representative, Sarah Stalker, which as far as I know is actually her last name.
00:51:56.400
Stalker spell, just like the crime stalking. And here's what Stalker has to say. Listen,
00:52:03.540
I'm going to be honest. I don't feel good about being white every day for a lot of reasons,
00:52:09.560
because it's a point of privilege that I get to move through the world in a way that so many of my
00:52:15.380
other colleagues and friends and family members of the community don't get the privilege to do.
00:52:21.140
And I'm just a female, but just a woman, just a white woman. If I was a white man, I would be
00:52:28.520
functioning from a point of even greater privilege. I think we're missing an opportunity when kids
00:52:35.100
have a moment to reflect about how the color of their skin does and does not allow them to move
00:52:46.260
through the world. It's running, running to them and trying to stifle that and trying to say,
00:52:53.140
you shouldn't feel bad. So we don't want to, we don't want to ever expose you to something that
00:52:57.220
is going to make you have to pause and have maybe some internal feelings. It's a missed opportunity
00:53:04.320
So can I just say, first of all, I really don't understand this liberal thing where they use the
00:53:12.820
phrase, I'm sure I've complained about this before, but they, this phrase move through the world,
00:53:18.480
move through spaces. I have no theory as to why every liberal midwit woman speaks this way, but they
00:53:27.200
all do. Every liberal female between the ages of like 20 and 75 uses this phrase all the time.
00:53:34.580
They're incapable of expressing their view on any subject without making some kind of statement about
00:53:41.940
how they move through the world, move through spaces or how other people do it. I don't get it.
00:53:48.720
Like, I really don't. Where does this verbal tick come from?
00:53:55.780
Like they, they, they, they can't even, they couldn't make an order at McDonald's
00:54:05.280
Yeah. You know, I think as a, as a woman and a member of a marginalized community, I move through the world.
00:54:12.900
I move through the world needing to eat sometimes.
00:54:15.420
And as I'm moving through these spaces, as I'm moving through the world in this body and I'm
00:54:23.040
moving through spaces and I'm occupying these spaces and I'm moving through them, I really feel
00:54:29.280
like I need a fish fillet. I don't get it. Um, but that aside, she says that she doesn't feel good
00:54:36.740
about being white every day, which is a sentiment that, uh, that she means, you know, by the way,
00:54:43.140
that's one thing I learned from making our, our last moving on my racist is that, uh, these white
00:54:48.840
guilt, these white guilt ridden white women absolutely are sincere, which I wasn't sure about.
00:54:56.920
So that became, that came as a kind of news to me. I wasn't really sure about that. Is this all
00:55:01.720
performance? Is this nothing but virtue signaling? That's the easiest way to explain it. Um, but what
00:55:08.220
I found is that, no, it seems like they really mean it. Like they're plagued by this guilt.
00:55:13.680
It's a mental illness, really more of a spiritual illness. And I thought a lot of, a lot about this
00:55:18.560
when we were making the movie. And, uh, when I was in these places, when I, when I was moving
00:55:23.540
through spaces, when I was moving through spaces, making the film and I was really moving and I was
00:55:29.660
occupying this body, this whiteness. And I was moving through spaces with my whiteness. Um, but
00:55:36.260
anyway, when I was with these types of women, every indication, as I said, was that they really
00:55:41.860
believe it. Like they, this is what they, this is, they really feel this way. They're tormented
00:55:48.660
by their guilt for being white. And I've tried really to understand it because to me, it's so,
00:55:55.480
if you're a normal person, it's so foreign to you, it's so alien. Like if you're a normal
00:56:01.900
person, the amount of time that you've spent feeling guilty about your race is, is zero
00:56:08.140
seconds of your entire life. Cumulatively. Have you ever spent feeling even remotely? You
00:56:12.380
wouldn't even know how to generate those feelings if you wanted to. So where does it come from?
00:56:19.380
And the only theory that I've been able to develop for this kind of thing is that, um,
00:56:25.480
is that it's, it's not a grift, it's not performance. It's not a virtue signal.
00:56:32.060
Now there is some, I mean, certainly there are plenty of grifters in the kind of anti-white
00:56:36.120
race hustling world for sure. But the Sarah stalkers of the world are sincere. And the only
00:56:44.740
way that I can understand that is that leftism is a religion and it, uh, is very specifically a
00:56:52.140
religion that apes and subverts Christianity. It's a religion that takes the cross of Christ
00:56:56.660
and flips it upside down because liberals are incapable of making anything for themselves.
00:57:00.720
They're incapable of building, fundamentally incapable of building anything, coming up with
00:57:05.420
their own ideas at all. So instead they steal and plagiarize and subvert. And all of the leftists,
00:57:10.720
you know, leftism is a religion. There are a lot of kind of sub religions that branch off from it
00:57:15.560
and, um, LGBT and trans and all that kind of stuff. And all of it is kind of like models itself
00:57:22.340
after Christianity, but, but as a, as a mockery of Christianity, because that's all they're capable
00:57:26.600
of doing is just mocking things is aping and mocking and imitating. Uh, they cannot make anything
00:57:32.420
on their own. So that's what they've done here. And, and so this white guilt stuff, it's like, uh,
00:57:38.680
this is their, their doctrine of original sin. You know, this is except that in this case,
00:57:44.080
because it's a, it's a mockery, it's an inversion instead of original sin being universal among all
00:57:49.480
humans, it is specific to white people. You know, we are stained by original sin, uh, the original sin
00:57:57.020
of whiteness. And that is the original. It's not even that the original sin is slavery or something
00:58:01.720
is the original sin is whiteness itself. The original sin is just being white. And, um, you know,
00:58:08.560
that idea resonates with white liberal women quite a bit. I think if I, if I were to go even deeper in
00:58:14.280
my psychoanalysis of them, uh, I think it's because they feel a lot of guilt. They have a lot of guilt
00:58:19.400
in their hearts. Everyone has guilt in, in their hearts to some extent, extent, because none of us
00:58:23.900
are perfect. We do bad things. You feel some guilt about that. Everyone feels that. Uh, now, if you're
00:58:31.020
a Christian, there's something that you can do with that guilt. You have a way of understanding it.
00:58:34.340
Uh, you can confess, you can be forgiven. But if you're, you know, secularist, uh, anti-Christian
00:58:43.880
liberal, you have really nothing to do with it. You have no way of understanding it except in this
00:58:48.340
kind of racial framework. And I also, I also think that these liberal women, they, uh, they have a lot
00:58:54.580
of guilt. They have like a lot of, a lot of actual guilt in their hearts because their religion,
00:58:58.940
leftism encourages them to do evil, terrible things. I mean, you know, so many of these women,
00:59:06.400
a huge number of them. I mean, we'll never know how many, I think it'd be, if we, if we knew we
00:59:09.580
would be, it's probably better. We don't know, but a huge number of these women have killed their
00:59:13.300
children, huge number of them. And, uh, so let's start with that. I mean, they're, they're walking
00:59:20.500
around with that, an immense amount of guilt, but they can't face that that is what's causing the guilt.
00:59:27.440
So instead they, they feel the guilt. They have all these terrible things they've done. I mean,
00:59:31.460
the most unspeakable things liberal women have done, uh, are responsible for some of the most
00:59:37.380
unspeakable evils the world has ever seen. And, um, and they, so they carry this around, but they
00:59:44.100
can't, they don't know, they, they can't connect those dots. Their religion forbids them from doing
00:59:49.740
so. And so they look for some other, well, why am I feeling this way? You know, why am I feeling
00:59:56.100
this way? Oh, it's because I'm white. It also allows you to kind of offload the guilt. Cause
01:00:01.720
now it's not really about anything you've done. Yeah. Okay. You've like aborted three
01:00:05.980
of your kids or something. And that's something that you've done. So I'm not going to face that
01:00:09.720
instead. Oh, I feel guilty cause I'm white. And it will, it's not, you know, it's not anything
01:00:13.120
I, it's not my fault. I didn't do it. Um, so it allows you to kind of offload it, make
01:00:18.960
it about something else. It kind of depersonalizes the guilt. And I think that that's a lot of what's
01:00:25.000
happening here. This episode is sponsored by Everyday Dose. We all know a person who
01:00:29.440
can't function without their morning coffee, but then they spend the next two hours dealing

with the stomach issues that come with it. Same story every morning, sacred ritual followed
01:00:37.900
by immediate regret. No one is able to give up their coffee routine, but generally people

01:01:54.860
and I want to show you the part at the end. This clip has gone viral, I think for good reason.
01:02:00.620
And it's one of the funniest, sneaking in at the buzzer here, one of the funniest clips of the
01:02:06.500
year. This is where James, I'm not even sure who he's, who the, the, the target of this sting
01:02:12.220
operation is. Maybe it'll come up on the screen, but this is where he reveals his true identity to
01:02:16.580
this person and let's just watch how that plays out. Yeah. Um, well, the thing is, is that, um, I
01:02:28.940
actually am James O'Keefe. Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm not James O'Keefe. I am really. Yes. And you, you
01:02:41.860
don't know that. It's just, it's great. Everything about it. Uh, perfect, like a perfect sitcom, perfect
01:03:05.720
sitcom moment, except real. So if you're listening to the audio only, you missed out because, uh,
01:03:11.420
James O'Keefe is at dinner with this guy, you know, the classic, like O'Keefe, uh, set up here.
01:03:18.140
And I think this, the guy's name is Jonathan Franklin. He's a professor or something. I think
01:03:21.900
that's what the, I think the name, that's the name that came up. So let's just call him Jonathan.
01:03:26.620
And, uh, so this guy, so Jonathan has expressed apparently worry about being caught up in an O'Keefe
01:03:33.380
sting. And meanwhile, James is sitting there. The only disguise he has on is a pair of glasses,
01:03:40.040
not, not even a wig, nothing. He's just sitting there. Hasn't changed his voice. He's not,
01:03:45.180
he's not putting on some kind of fake accent. Um, you know, not, not wearing a COVID mask,
01:03:50.600
like just sitting there with all these guys that wear a pair of glasses on. And the other
01:03:55.860
guy doesn't recognize him. It's like the Superman Clark Kent thing. The other guy doesn't recognize,
01:04:00.820
it pulls his glasses off. And only then does the other guy start to connect it. And then he gets
01:04:07.560
up and tries to run away and falls as he's running away. It's a little late for that. I'll never
01:04:11.660
understand when they run away like that. Like you're already on camera. You had a whole conversation.
01:04:17.760
Where are you going? Why are you running? You can't run from this. Now, if it were me and I don't want
01:04:23.600
to give any, uh, tips to, uh, cause I want James O'Keefe to continue doing his great work, but
01:04:28.420
you know, well, first of all, okay. A few things at this point, if you're in DC or I don't know if
01:04:37.720
this is in DC or not, but if you're in any of these major like metropolitan cities and you're
01:04:43.480
on a date with someone, well, first of all, if he looks exactly like James O'Keefe, like he probably
01:04:49.420
is, but even, but you know, if it's one of the things, if James O'Keefe has called in one of his,
01:04:54.320
uh, female undercover reports, you're on a date with someone you've never seen them before. You don't
01:04:58.260
know who they are. And they're asking all kinds of really probing questions about what you do for
01:05:03.200
work. At this point, you should just assume that you're, that there's a camera somewhere. You
01:05:09.320
should just assume that the other thing, cause you should also understand that most people are
01:05:16.320
for someone to be asking a lot of questions about you. Almost no one is like that in real life
01:05:23.880
because people are much more self-centered than that. Like no one's actually interested,
01:05:29.120
interested in you. You're sitting there at dinner. This is the first person probably in
01:05:33.620
your entire life. Who's actually like really interested in what you do. That should tell
01:05:38.200
you something. But if somehow you still get caught, you know, if it were me and I got O'Keefe'd,
01:05:45.920
which I wouldn't, cause I wouldn't be going on a date with a man in the first place.
01:05:49.520
Um, or with anyone except my wife, but I'm just saying my move would be after the reveal,
01:05:57.160
he goes, well, I'm James O'Keefe. I would say, you gotta think on your feet, but I would
01:06:04.300
immediately say, yeah, I know. I know you're James O'Keefe. I've actually been doing a sting
01:06:08.920
operation on you this whole time. Okay. You thought you were stinging me. I was stinging
01:06:13.520
you. No, I only said that stuff cause I wanted you to say stuff that was embarrassing for
01:06:18.200
you. So you didn't get me. I got you. I'm not fired. I quit. No, it was that kind of
01:06:24.480
move. I'm not saying it's worth a shot. I'm not saying, I mean, it's, it's, it's a desperation
01:06:28.300
move. It's a Hail Mary, but that's better than running away. I mean, you're running away. You
01:06:33.020
can't, you are, they already have the footage and that all you're doing is, is confirming
01:06:37.920
your guilt. You're confirming that everything you said was true and you're ashamed of it.
01:06:42.320
Just play it out. Act like you've been here before. Or you could just say, yeah, I know
01:06:49.660
you're James O'Keefe. I thought, you know, it's fine. I got nothing to hide. I thought
01:06:52.780
that we were just having a nice dinner. What's the problem anyway? But everyone sees that clip
01:06:59.680
and they wonder how the guy was fooled by the least elaborate disguise of all time. And, uh,
01:07:04.740
not to bring it back to, am I racist again? But I can speak to this a little bit because,
01:07:08.640
uh, we did the same thing with am I racist? And, um, and I get the same questions all
01:07:13.620
the time. People watch that movie and just like they watch this clip, I saw some comments
01:07:19.160
to that clip, like this has got to be staged. There's like, there's no way. I mean, the
01:07:22.420
guy would have known, he knows what James O'Keefe is. All he had was glasses on. Like
01:07:25.460
he must've known. And I get those comments sometimes like this movie has to be staged.
01:07:29.500
I mean, they must've known it was you. It's not staged. It's all real. And, uh, all I did
01:07:34.420
was put on a wig and we got into places with people who knew who I was and yet didn't recognize
01:07:40.600
me. How is that possible? Well, I'll, let me give you the scientific answer. And it's
01:07:48.100
this, you want to know how, let me just answer this question. Cause I get a question all the
01:07:51.320
time and I'll answer for James O'Keefe too. I know it gets, gets, gets asked this even
01:07:55.320
more often than I do. Let me tell you why. Here's, here's how it works. A lot of people
01:08:01.860
are stupid. Okay. That's, that's it. How can they be fooled just by glasses or just by a
01:08:10.040
wig? Well, a lot of people are stupid. Okay. Like you, you might think, you know, that people
01:08:17.680
are stupid, but they are so much stupider than you realize. Not everyone. There's a lot
01:08:22.800
of smart people out there. A lot of people smarter than me. That's not a high bar to
01:08:26.860
get over at all, but there is a great mass of dumbness. And this is the key point. A
01:08:34.500
lot of the dumbest people are those who've risen to positions of authority and influence
01:08:39.680
like the kinds of people that James O'Keefe is going to go after, or that might appear
01:08:43.800
in one of my movies, which makes the job of investigative journalists, or in my case, you
01:08:48.800
know, comedic documentary filmmakers easier than it's ever been. Uh, which is why I always
01:08:56.660
wondered, there's not more people doing this. Not that I want more people to do it, but,
01:08:59.580
um, it it's, it's incredibly easy. These people are very dumb and not just dumb, but vain and
01:09:07.980
narcissistic. Okay. Which means you can easily manipulate them. You know, that's how we got
01:09:13.840
Robin DiAngelo and everyone else in the movie. Uh, because we had faith that first of all,
01:09:18.700
they're stupid. And second of all, all you really got to do is compliment them and you'll
01:09:24.660
win their trust. It really is that easy. So you could have someone who's like, this is
01:09:29.580
a little weird. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. Who are you? What are you doing
01:09:32.420
here? Oh, don't worry about it. By the way, I just want to tell you, I really appreciate
01:09:37.120
your work. I think you're, I think you're great. And they'll say, Oh, well, thank you
01:09:42.260
so much. Let me tell you some more about myself. It's all it takes. And now consider the consequences
01:09:50.860
of having dumb, easily manipulated people in positions of power. Consider that, that this,
01:09:58.700
these are the people who are running so many of our institutions, very dumb, very easily
01:10:06.960
manipulated, um, very susceptible to flattery, extremely vain and shallow. And these are the
01:10:15.900
people who are running so many of our institutions and, uh, consider, consider all the consequences
01:10:22.620
of that. A lot of bad consequences, good consequences though. We get funny videos. So that's something.
01:10:28.700
That's something at least that'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks
01:10:33.060
for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
01:10:45.780
Oh, this is an illusion, an echo of a voice that has died. And soon that echo will cease.
01:10:58.700
They say that Merlin is mad. They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost
01:11:17.700
Atlantis. They say the future and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind tell
01:11:26.020
him their secrets. That the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.
01:11:34.160
They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds do you hear? That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
01:11:42.520
The Merlin died long before you and I were born. Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
01:11:57.340
Fortigan is gone. Rome is gone. The Saxon is here.
01:12:02.740
The Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty.
01:12:08.220
And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne. And he will have it.
01:12:14.760
If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him, here is your hope.
01:12:21.160
A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king. He will be the wonder of the world.
01:12:35.880
There will be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
01:12:39.660
Men of the Island of the Mighty, you stand together.
01:12:56.040
These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
01:13:03.260
They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.
