00:00:15.680If you're like a lot of Americans, you probably feel like your vote doesn't matter much.
00:00:20.300No matter who you vote for, you seem to get the same outcomes.
00:00:23.000This has been a consistent complaint in politics for a long time, but lately it's really been thrust in our faces.
00:00:28.540Republicans will claim to support historic immigration crackdowns, voter ID, reduced spending, and so on.
00:00:34.380And they stab us in the back every time.
00:00:37.000Decades of repeated betrayals and amnesties led to Trump's rise a decade ago.
00:00:42.340But now as Trump enters his final years in office, the question remains,
00:00:46.100why are so many Republicans still insistent on ignoring the will of their own voters?
00:00:51.580Now, the straightforward and honest answer is that it happens because they don't care about you.
00:00:56.280In many cases, they're embarrassed by you.
00:00:58.540They don't actually represent you either. Instead, they represent, of course, their donors, including a billionaire hedge fund manager by the name of Ken Griffin, who you heard about on our show just a few weeks ago. Watch.
00:01:11.820It's important to understand that Howard Schultz is not the exception. There's now an epidemic of rich leftists fleeing from Democrat-controlled jurisdictions.
00:01:20.320These people supported Democrat policies and helped to get those policies passed. In fact, now they're running away from the natural consequences of those policies. Jeff Bezos moved from Seattle to Florida in 2023. Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin moved from California, which is also planning a massive wealth tax to Florida in the past year.
00:01:44.220Ken Griffin, the co-founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, who donated to both Obama
00:01:49.620and Biden, just moved from Chicago, where Citadel employees were getting robbed all
00:02:12.540She also bombarded the Daily Wire's editors, demanding that they edit my monologue to clarify that Ken Griffin has actually donated to several Republicans, too.
00:02:21.660Now, I've never had anything like that happen before, ever.
00:02:25.100Never mind the fact that, as I stated, Ken Griffin has indeed donated to Democrats who destroyed major American cities.
00:02:33.020You're not supposed to talk about that, apparently.
00:02:35.420The message from the PR firm was pretty clear.
00:02:37.540The people who are actually running the country, the people with actual influence like Ken Griffin, don't want you to know what they're up to.
00:02:45.080This is a very sensitive subject for them.
00:02:48.380Now, the truth is that Griffin is a Republican mega-donor who's completely untethered to anything you believe in ideologically.
00:02:56.160He donates because it serves his interests. That's it.
00:02:58.380He gets special carve-outs and tax breaks and sponsors politicians who do his bidding.
00:03:02.940He also gives money to Democrats, which is true, including Rahm Emanuel and Joe Biden.
00:03:08.380Rahm Emanuel, incidentally, is one of the Democrats who destroyed the city of Chicago, a city that Ken Griffin fled because it's so violent.
00:03:13.980In fact, Griffin took his entire company with him after his security detail had to fend off a carjacking attempt and his employees kept getting insulted.
00:03:21.860But Griffin is not simply a menace to the people of Chicago or to my personal cell phone.
00:03:27.040what he's doing has tremendous consequences for all of us because currently he's doing everything
00:03:31.680he can to get Republicans to open the borders. Rich guys like Ken Griffin are why Republicans
00:03:36.960constantly betray us. This is from Fortune the other day. Quote, Griffin believes that the
00:03:42.680current restrictions limit America's access to the world's best minds. He notes that immigrants
0.88
00:03:47.820or children of immigrants launched some of the most most of the successful Silicon Valley
00:03:52.680startups, including in AI. Griffin hammers the point by noting that his co-chief investment
00:03:57.880officer hails from Ecuador, the head of the trading unit from mainland China, the commodities
00:04:02.980chief from Australia, and Citadel's most successful equity fund manager from the UK.
00:04:08.400For Griffin, his hometown success is a tribute to the power of immigration. 54% of Miami-Dade
00:04:13.360County's residents were born abroad. Now, no American conservative, no one who truly represents
00:04:19.300conservative ideals would celebrate the fact that more than half of the population in a
0.81
00:04:24.540major American city was born abroad. I mean, it really is that simple. But in Griffin's circles,
00:04:30.940this is a success story. The less American an American city is, the better. That's what he
0.84
00:04:38.320believes. Now, on this point, there is no daylight whatsoever between Ken Griffin and most well-funded
00:04:44.680conservative politicians and a leftist like Gavin Newsom. I mean, listen to him for five minutes
00:04:50.480and Gavin Newsom will inevitably brag about how many foreigners live in his state. Watch.
00:05:34.360I say that because it needs to be said, and you reinforce it here today.
00:05:38.860It's in that diversity that we have achieved so much strength.
00:05:44.680Behind closed doors, this is how most Republicans talk.
00:05:49.520It certainly is how Ken Griffin talks.
00:05:51.460This is someone who really doesn't care about the country at all.
0.99
00:05:54.480It's easy to live in a multicultural hellscape when you have a $100 million house and a private jet.
0.98
00:06:01.620Sure, no one can point to anything that Ken Griffin built, but he's good at moving money around,
1.00
00:06:07.120and therefore we have to pay attention to what he thinks, apparently.
00:06:09.480And it's pretty clear what he thinks. Because white Americans aren't reproducing at replacement levels, it's necessary to bring in as many foreigners as possible. That's what he thinks. A bigger population means a bigger workforce, lower wages, and more potential customers.
0.61
00:06:25.720Naturally, the people running these companies don't care if millions of Americans are unemployed or can't find housing, as long as business is booming.
00:06:34.620And to drive that point home, Fortune also ran this puff piece, this video on Griffin. Watch.
00:06:40.720Billionaire Ken Griffin wants to turn Miami into America's next business capital.
00:06:45.260Ken Griffin is worth roughly $50 billion, and he is the CEO of both the biggest market maker in America and one of the largest hedge funds in the world.
00:06:56.080He's also one of the largest contributors to Republican politicians in America.
00:07:00.660In February, I went to Ken Griffin's office overlooking the Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami in the Brickell area and spent over an hour with him.
00:07:08.100What really impressed me about him is he's an outspoken advocate of the free market,
00:07:13.260which contradicts a lot of the Trump policies, although many of them he likes.
00:07:16.740But he's anti-tariff, he's very worried about the growth of the debt and the deficits,
00:07:36.360He's a huge promoter of Miami, and he's given about $350 million to charities in Miami.
00:07:43.420For Griffin, the reason he went to Miami is not primarily taxes.
00:07:47.360It's the pro-business attitude of the politicians, whether they happen to be Republicans or they happen to be Democrats.
00:07:53.820Griffin's move to Florida in 2022 has led a lot of companies to come behind him coming to Miami.
00:08:00.340Whether it's Apollo, whether it's the expansion of McKinsey, whether it's Palantir, lots of law firms have come in.
00:08:08.240And so the move of businesses and wealthy people to Miami keeps accelerating.
00:08:14.140So Emma and Ken Griffin's team would obviously be thrilled with that video.
00:08:20.060There won't be any angry phone calls to those people.
00:08:22.800There's no mention of Ken Griffin's decision to fund one of Chicago's worst mayors or his decision to flee the city after it became too dangerous.
00:08:30.740All we're told is that Ken Griffin is going to do great things for Miami, just like he did so many great things for Chicago.
00:08:37.300But it's OK, I guess, because he donates to Republicans, too.
00:08:40.280So really, when I said that Ken Griffin was a leftist, I was being too kind.
00:08:44.440I should have said that he funds the most destructive leftist policies imaginable.
00:08:48.740But hey, at least he's fiscally conservative.
00:08:51.060Well, you need to understand, and why I'm beginning with Ken Griffin, aside from just the principle of it, that you call me on my phone to try to get me to change something.
00:09:02.840But the reason is that wealthy donors, the ones who are wealthy enough to donate to both sides, control the trajectory of American politics.
00:09:11.580They operate often behind the scenes to stamp out any dissent.
00:09:15.680They're extremely aggressive about it to a degree that I wasn't aware of until recently, at least not fully aware of.
00:09:22.220It's not an issue of Democrat versus Republican.
00:09:24.640It's a business calculation that these donors have made.
00:09:28.820Obviously, these kinds of donors own the Democrat Party.
00:10:44.080Right now, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is in India.
00:10:47.220His office tells us he met with economic development partners and business leaders in Mumbai today.
00:10:52.480First Lady Cecilia Abbott, Secretary of State Jane Nelson, and other Texas economic leaders joined the governor.
00:10:58.520In a statement, he said Texas is strengthening its relationship with India so that the next generation can have greater prosperity.
00:11:05.220This economic development trip is expected to last through the rest of the week.
00:11:11.120This idea is never actually explained by anyone.
00:11:14.500No one can explain why, after building the world's greatest superpower,
0.99
00:11:18.580suddenly Americans will be hopelessly lost unless we import people from other countries.
0.99
00:11:24.720But Western leaders have gone ahead and opened the floodgates anyway.
0.74
00:11:28.440You see the results in Canada, which has been totally colonized at this point.
00:11:32.980It's also much poorer and less cohesive than it used to be by a huge margin in every respect.
00:11:39.140But Greg Abbott isn't concerned with any of that.
1.00
00:11:41.200His only concern is courting now, apparently, Indian business owners.
00:11:46.040I mean, it's not an exaggeration to say that he apparently thinks about India more than Texas.
00:11:49.020I mean, take a look at some of his recent social media posts, if you think I'm exaggerating.
00:11:52.760Put some of that up on the screen right now.
00:11:54.920Dozens and dozens of posts all about a country that you wouldn't think would have a lot to do with Texas.
00:12:00.980And it's actually remarkable. What's happening here is that Greg Abbott is telling large companies in India that, you know, if they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on development in Texas, they can staff those companies with Indian workers on H-1B visas.
00:12:16.900And while Greg Abbott has suspended H-1B visa approvals for state agencies and public universities, private companies like this can continue to take advantage of the visa program.
00:12:27.420And indeed, plenty of private companies are doing just that.
00:12:30.100According to Blaze News, which analyzed Department of Labor data from the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, quote, Texas companies sponsored and certified over 11,200 H-1B visa applications, second only to California, which brought in over 13,700 H-1B visas, according to available data.
00:12:50.440So that's more than 10,000 H-1B applications that were certified in just one quarter in one state.
00:12:56.880That's a small fraction of the total H-1B population in Texas, which is concentrated in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston.
00:13:03.360So we're not talking about American companies poaching a very small number of highly qualified scientists or engineers from another country.
00:13:12.480When people talk about H-1B, that's what they, or at least the advocates for it, talk about it as if that's all that's happening.
00:13:19.240But no, we're talking about a much larger replacement of U.S. workers.
00:13:23.300And in many cases, the foreigners with H-1B visas are directly replacing Americans.
00:13:30.520This is from the New York Post, quote,
00:13:32.060As thousands of Oracle employees awoke on Tuesday to an email informing them they were laid off,
00:13:37.040the workers likely didn't know the tech company had been busy trying to hire foreign staff.
00:13:41.280According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data,
00:13:43.900Oracle filed for roughly 3,126 petitions to employ H-1B workers in fiscal year 2025 and 2026.
00:13:51.940Employers must submit the paperwork when seeking to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations like technology.
00:13:57.760Some 436 of those petitions were filed this year alone.
00:14:01.500Amazon, which in January said it would axe 16,000 corporate employees, has filed for some 2,675 H-1B petitions during the same two-year fiscal period.
00:14:14.280So this is a very direct replacement.
0.95
00:14:16.700I mean, they're literally firing, laying off the American workers and bringing in foreigners to replace them.
0.91
00:14:25.580Now, relative to the total population of Texas, those numbers are small.
00:14:28.740But if you walk around Texas, as the journalist Tyler Olivera just did in a viral video,
00:14:34.180then you'll find that large communities in Texas have been totally transformed.
00:14:37.940And a significant number of these immigrants say they received H-1Bs.
00:14:42.920And what Tyler found is that in many cases, they don't come to Texas on an H-1B visa.
00:14:47.020Instead, they either make up an asylum claim or they arrive on an F-1 visa, which is intended for students.
0.58
00:14:53.880It's one of the easiest ways to get into the country.
00:14:55.760You claim you're going to attend one of the 10 million colleges and universities we have.
00:14:59.760Until the Trump administration shut this down, more than 100,000 Indians received these student visas in just a year.
00:15:09.340Until the Trump administration took over, immigrants with a student visa had two options.
00:15:13.220They could graduate and get an H-1B and stay in the country indefinitely, or they could drop out of the school and stay in the country indefinitely.
0.97
00:15:21.540Either way, they get to stay indefinitely.
00:15:24.620And we're only now starting to crack down on this scam.
00:15:29.000All things considered, it's a fairly new scam.
0.98
00:15:30.800As recently as 1980, less than 7% of Texas was foreign-born, and now it's more than 20% of the population of Texas that was born in another country.
0.96
00:15:41.840White Texans went from more than 70% of the population to less than 40%.
0.66
00:15:45.680Numbers are only getting worse by design.
00:15:48.960So why is Greg Abbott and many other Republicans allowing this to happen?
00:15:54.540Now, if you need an explanation, you don't need to look any further than wealthy donors with the same ideology as Ken Griffin.
00:15:59.920Greg Abbott's business donors are business, biggest donors rather, are business interests that believe foreign migration will increase their profits.
00:16:19.080Quote, Jeff Yass gave $4 million to Greg Abbott's campaign, adding to a $6 million check from December that the Texas governor's office said was the single largest political donation in the state's history.
00:16:29.180Yass, the billionaire co-founder of market-making firm Susquehanna International Group, made the contribution in April, according to a campaign finance report released this week.
00:16:38.460That makes up the majority of the more than $5 million Abbott collected in the first half of 2024.
00:16:43.240Jim Walton, the son of Walmart Inc., founder Sam Walton, gave Abbott's campaign $200,000, according to the report.
00:16:51.020Now, Walmart's desire for more foreign labor is self-evident.
00:17:12.940They believe that more immigration means more jobs, more economic transparency, less crime, and so on.
00:17:18.740And they're constantly spreading false or misleading statistics to push those policy objectives,
00:17:23.620which we've discussed many times before.
00:17:25.700Now, in the libertarian world, in their worldview, the more foreigners who come to Texas, the stronger Texas will be.
0.96
00:17:34.160And that's why, as Savannah Hernandez with Turning Point USA just reported, there's new effort to transform the Texas countryside into a megacity for Muslims.
0.99
00:17:44.900Okay, so these are the exact coordinates to where the proposed epic city is supposed to be.
00:17:49.060And I just want to, like, pan the camera back this way because look at this farmland.
00:17:53.300this is where a proposed 400-acre Muslim-centric city with over 1,000 homes, a mosque, K-12 schools
00:18:01.280is supposed to be set up. So there are a couple of homes out here but imagine living out here in
00:18:06.480rural Texas having no neighbors, it's super quiet and then all of a sudden you're hearing about this
00:18:11.940400-acre city that's coming in and I know a lot of people have concerns about whether or not they
00:18:16.420have the infrastructure out here for it so um this is the location of where epic city might
00:18:23.520potentially be built also let's not forget as of march 2026 no construction permits have been
00:18:28.540issued no ground has been broken nothing has officially been built the state is still actively
00:18:33.020fighting the creation of this city however this is the land that was purchased and this is where
00:18:38.700it is potentially going to be so craziest thing about what's happening here in josephine is this
00:18:44.420isn't the only location where this is going on. And apparently another city similar to this is
00:18:50.320being proposed in Kauffman, Texas. And the crazy thing about this is that they were supposed to
00:18:55.820have a closed door meeting on March the 6th about this. Well, the residents found out about this
00:19:03.940closed door meeting and they were all planning on showing up unannounced, uninvited, all of the
00:19:08.500things. And they cancel it last minute because they don't want the pushback and the company
00:19:13.560just doesn't want to have to deal with the residents actually speaking to them and being
00:19:16.460upset about it. All of this to say, I talked to Representative Lance Gooden today, and he said
00:19:21.420that there's no more cause for concern that he talked to the developers, the developers are
00:19:26.080going to move on for County. However, I will say that there is cause for concern because
00:19:31.040from my sources within the county, this is not the first place that SCE Holdings and the
00:19:36.500developing companies have tried to go into for this particular development. There are plenty of
00:19:42.100other similar developments besides the ones that Savannah Hernandez just mentioned. Remember Colony
00:19:47.540Ridge, the illegal immigrant community of 100,000 migrants outside of Houston. The developers behind
1.00
00:19:52.680Colony Ridge were major donors to Greg Abbott, who just let it happen. They actually helped them
00:19:57.360along by trying to designate the colony as a federal opportunity zone. Until we get money
00:20:03.040out of politics, this is never going to change. The GOP isn't just going to randomly start to
00:20:06.920serve the voters. And that's why this is happening all over the country.
00:20:12.100As the White Papers Policy Institute pointed out, quote, Utah, a state that has not had a Democrat governor since 1985, is being very rapidly filled with immigrants.
00:20:21.060The foreign-born population of Utah jumped from 3.5% in 1980 to 10.6% in 2025.
00:20:28.840The immigrant population of the state has jumped 639%.
00:20:33.000You'll find similar massive increases in many other states from Arizona to Virginia, Colorado.
00:20:40.080you can see the numbers here on this chart. It's very stark. Just look at that. I mean,
00:20:46.400the orange bars represent the foreign-born population in each state in 1980, and the blue
00:20:50.940bars are the foreign-born population in 2025. So Georgia went from 1.7% to 14%. Virginia went from
00:21:00.3203% to 14%. New Jersey, New York, and Florida more than doubled their foreign-born populations.
00:21:06.540Maryland went from 4.6% to a staggering 22%. Nobody voted for any of this. Nobody voted for
0.93
00:21:19.520this kind of drastic demographic change. It was never put up for a vote. And if it had been,
00:21:24.520it would have been voted down. But as someone named Ryan McCubbin pointed out the other day,
00:21:29.880that's not the point. You don't get a say in this matter. Here's what Ryan wrote as far as
00:21:34.480post on Exco. It's one of the more insightful ones that I've seen. And he wrote this, quote,
00:21:41.280there are a few things most intelligent people really don't understand about modern politics.
00:21:45.020One, there's almost no relationship between what the common people actually want and what they get.
00:21:49.760Two, the agenda of the donor class always gets passed. Three, if the agenda of the donor class
00:21:54.560conflicts with the agenda of the common folk, the common folk's agenda gets subverted through
00:21:58.600propaganda in the public square and institutionally by Democrats, rather bureaucrats and judges.
00:22:04.480The system you participate in doesn't belong to you.
00:22:06.880It belongs to the millionaires and billionaires.
00:22:08.880And many of these people who are active in Texas politics aren't even Americans.
00:22:24.400That was the story of several major cities, really basically all of them.
00:22:30.100But what's happening now is that instead of reversing the mistakes of the 1960s, some of the richest donors in American politics, men who donate to both political parties, are going in for the kill shot.
00:22:41.240They're willing to sacrifice American civilization in the name of ideology, profit, or both.
00:22:47.360And many of these donors are planning to bankroll the next slate of presidential candidates on both parties ahead of the 2028 election.
00:22:55.320Pay very close attention to where those candidates are getting their money.
0.57
00:23:01.340Because otherwise, whether you vote for a Democrat or a Republican, if you're not careful, you'll be voting for the exact same thing, which is an America without Americans.
00:23:13.320Now let's get to our five headlines.
0.50
00:23:20.640Most days we don't have time to worry about what we are wearing or whether or not it's ironed.
00:23:24.580And that's why I go with Mizzen and Main.
00:23:26.220It looks sharp, it feels great, and it has zero effort involved.
00:23:29.780Mizzen and Main isn't content with just trying to chase trends.
00:23:32.420They actually invented the Performance Fabric dress shirt more than a decade ago,
00:23:36.000and since then, they have perfected it.
00:23:38.140Their shirts and pants look sharp and professional,
00:23:40.000but they're also breathable, stretchy, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle-resistant.
00:23:44.300So you can throw them in the wash without ever worrying about dry cleaning or ironing.
00:23:48.000It's the kind of gear you can wear anywhere.
00:23:49.820The office and the golf course doing yard work or grilling out on a Saturday

00:46:34.840So appalled. Apparently, black people are not allowed to go to the Obama presidential library.
00:46:41.860This is the ultimate betrayal. The first black president bans black people from his library.
00:46:47.440That's the story. I can't believe it. Because, you know, asking for IDs is the same as banning black people.
0.58
00:46:53.240That's what we've been told. We've been told this many times. Black people cannot get IDs.
00:46:57.300They don't know how. They walk into the DMV and they're just totally flummoxed. And they don't even know how to get to the DMV in the first place. They don't know how to get there. And so asking for IDs to get into the center is exactly the same as having a sign out front that says, no blacks allowed. Attention, no blacks allowed in the ugliest building on earth.
00:47:23.900so this is a huge scandal i mean i don't know why there's not more conversation about it

00:50:59.460Um, anyway, I'm not gonna read this whole thing. It doesn't really matter. But, uh, the point is
00:51:05.920that this is, uh, apparently according to the article in the New York times are very excited
00:51:09.540about it, that this is something that, uh, women, older women are doing more and more now where
00:51:14.640they are, um, they are doing birthday party, childless women who are in their late thirties
00:51:20.040and forties now in their fifties, never had weddings. And so they're doing birthday parties
0.92
00:51:25.500that are weddings. They like look like weddings and they wear the wedding dress and they do the
00:51:29.120whole wedding thing. And this is supposed to be a great development. And it's one of those
00:51:38.900articles that's basically designed specifically to annoy me because everything revolves around
00:51:44.120me, obviously. So I'm just going to assume that the only reason this was published was to
00:51:47.780personally antagonize me. And if so, then it succeeded. You've got narcissistic women throwing
00:51:53.860wedding celebrations for themselves, not to celebrate a wedding, but to celebrate their
1.00
00:51:58.260birthdays. And other people are showing up to these things, which I always, that is always to me
00:52:03.260the most unfathomable, unfathomable part of stories like this. Because the, the idea that
00:52:10.660some woman is this narcissistic and shallow, that doesn't surprise me. The idea that like 30 or 40
1.00
00:52:17.280other people around her would participate, that is shocking. I cannot imagine an invitation that
00:52:26.400would elicit a harder or faster no from me than this. I mean, you might as well send me an
00:52:32.820invitation that says, hey, on May 10th, come on over. We're going to have a thing where we cut
00:52:37.720your head off. We're having a decapitation party. Yeah, come on over. We're going to cut your head
1.00
00:52:43.520off. I would more likely say yes to that than the birthday party wedding thing. If I had to choose,
0.78
00:52:50.980I mean, if I had to choose, easily getting my head cut off, it's quicker, not as painful, and not as embarrassing.
0.62
00:53:03.760Now, of course, the irony is that the more these kinds of women try to dress up their narcissism and celebrate it and pretend to be happy with their life choices, the sadder it is.
0.60
00:53:13.520You know, the more that they pop champagne and throw the confetti and say, yay, I'm childless.
0.92
00:53:20.980I have no children. I have no legacy. I'm going to die in a nursing home because no one will be
00:53:26.860around to take care of me. And none of my supposed friends actually care about me that much.
00:53:32.680Yay. And the more they do that, the more miserably sad it all comes off. And now we're at the point
00:53:38.480where 40-year-old women are staging these elaborate fake weddings for themselves. And it's just
1.00
00:53:42.400desperately, tragically sad. And this is also what happens when liberals try to deconstruct
00:53:49.720and reverse engineer cultural traditions when they take a tradition that has existed for thousands
00:53:55.960of years, which they have opted out of, and they try to apply it in a new way. I mean,
00:54:02.080it's always sad and pathetic and pitiful. It doesn't work. It doesn't work because it's
00:54:07.160totally arbitrary and meaningless. I mean, a wedding celebration is a celebration of an actual
00:54:12.740thing. Now, you could say that, well, getting married itself is also not an achievement in
00:54:22.360and of itself, any more than a birthday is an achievement. Well, it's a little more of an
00:54:27.860achievement than a birthday. At least you have to get someone to marry you. And for some people
00:54:32.140in particular, for me, that was an achievement in and of itself, and quite a shock for everyone
00:54:39.800else. But that's not the point. Wedding celebrations are not meant to be celebrations
00:54:46.260of achievements. They do wedding celebrations in cultures with arranged marriages. And for
0.99
00:54:53.800thousands of years, basically every marriage was in effect arranged. And they still had weddings
00:54:59.340because it's not about personal achievement. The wedding celebration is a celebration of
00:55:04.880the formation of a new thing. It's a sending off. In essence, it's a farewell and a welcoming all
00:55:13.720in one. That's what makes it beautiful. That's what makes it sacred, is that it's both of those
00:55:21.480things. It is a saying bye and a saying hello altogether. That's why the dad hands the daughter
00:55:26.720off. And very often the dad is teary-eyed in this moment. And he's also smiling because it's a
00:55:33.400happy thing, but there's a solemnness to it. There's a somberness as well as a joy, as well
00:55:38.940as happiness. A new thing has been made, a marriage, a family. And that's the point. And so it's sort of
00:55:45.880like a, you know, there's a, anytime there's a transformation and something new happens, it's
00:55:51.780also sort of a death in a way. Like you're, as the parent, you're saying goodbye to your child.
00:55:58.620I mean, it's still your child, but now they are going off and starting their own life.
00:56:03.900And so that's what makes it so beautiful.
00:56:08.700So, you know, a wedding is not like a birthday in that way.
00:56:14.940Turning it into a birthday celebration just strips it of all the meaning, all the beauty, all the sacredness, all the joy, everything.
0.99
00:56:20.380The whole point of the thing emptied out, hollowed out, worn like a skin suit.
1.00
00:56:25.520And, you know, I think that's pretty obvious.
1.00
00:56:28.620Um, but here's, this is what happens. This is what leftists do. And these aren't leftists
00:56:34.380because they're feminists. They have no new ideas at all, right? Even the ideas that are
1.00
00:56:41.180supposed to be new actually aren't remotely new. I mean, this is supposed to be a new thing. Oh,
00:56:47.440it's a new thing. Women are doing weddings for their birthday. That's not new. A birthday party
1.00
00:56:52.240is not new. A wedding celebration is not new. You're just taking this thing that already exists
00:56:58.120and you're twisting it and perverting it and subverting it and emptying it of everything that
00:57:03.900made it matter. And not even in a creative or interesting way. This is all leftists do with
00:57:10.500anything. They subvert, they pervert, they take what already exists, they destroy it. And they
00:57:15.600don't even ever do it in a way that's remotely interesting. It's like taking the Mona Lisa
