00:00:30.000 Imagine that you're Gavin Newsom. You're clearly the frontrunner to be the Democrats' next nominee for president.
00:00:36.120 And in preparation for that role, you've done a lot of homework.
00:00:39.300 You've gone on Fox News several times for debates with Sean Hannity and Ron DeSantis to hone your skills against the opposition.
00:00:46.240 You've traveled to the Munich Security Conference to make it seem like you understand foreign policy,
00:00:50.420 even though you just kind of awkwardly walk around the lobby and stare at Marco Rubio the entire time.
00:00:54.680 you've laughed or pretended to laugh at all the jokes about how you look and act like the guy in
00:00:59.920 American Psycho. And you've even launched a podcast where you sit down with conservatives,
00:01:04.480 including Steve Bannon, so that you come across as a moderate candidate who can carry a conversation
00:01:09.920 with anyone, even the people you're going to throw in prison, if you ever get the chance to do so.
00:01:14.640 So you've gone to great lengths to create a very specific image for the sole purpose of
00:01:18.740 clearing the field and becoming the undisputed choice of the Democrat Party for president.
00:01:23.700 Then after all that effort, imagine that your wife, Jennifer Sable Newsome, decides to go out 0.57
00:01:30.460 in public and attract as much attention as possible. She decides to become the most visible
00:01:34.300 Newsome and go on her own speaking tour, even though she's not a public official and no one
00:01:38.960 has any reason to care what she thinks about anything. And to make matters worse, she decides
00:01:43.020 that she wants the entire world to know about the time that she killed her sister with a golf cart
00:01:48.000 accidentally. And then without any hesitation whatsoever, Jennifer Newsome states that this
00:01:53.560 golf cart mishap, which she describes as completely unintentional, is totally analogous to the many
00:02:00.800 violent crimes committed by inmates who are currently incarcerated at San Quentin State
00:02:06.460 Prison. In other words, you're the leading Democrat presidential candidate, and one day your wife
00:02:11.500 goes out in public and states that criminals in California's most hardcore prison are guilty of
00:02:17.360 one thing and one thing only, making the same kind of mistake that you did as a child when you
00:02:23.200 ran over your own sister with a golf cart. Now, unfortunately for Gavin Newsom, no one has to
00:02:27.740 imagine this nightmare scenario. His wife just went through with it live on camera. Watch.
00:02:35.080 I had to be very raw when we interviewed the young men who were juvenile offenders in San Quentin.
00:02:41.160 I told them about my own loss where I lost my older sister a few days before my seventh birthday.
00:02:49.940 And I blamed myself for her death.
00:02:52.560 And I share that because they ultimately were accused of committing these violent crimes and sentenced for life.
00:03:01.940 And I think it shocked them that this blonde lady who was interviewing them had a similar story, was perhaps in the wrong place at the wrong time, but wasn't punished the way they were because clearly it was an accident, but theirs was probably an accident too.
00:03:22.140 So anyway, I share that just because I guess, you know, I quite enjoy spending time with people and being real and unmasking and showing them that it's safe to unmask themselves.
00:03:38.460 Beautiful, beautiful.
00:03:40.220 Now, Gavin Newsom may not be the smartest politician, despite what he thinks of himself.
00:03:44.380 But even with that handicap in mind, there's no way he didn't throw something at the television when he saw this. 0.89
00:03:49.920 I mean, it's the single most stereotypical on-the-nose statement possible from an affluent white liberal woman. 0.54
00:03:57.640 The idea is that criminals, even violent criminals who are incarcerated in California, a state that goes out of its way to allow criminals to do whatever they want, aren't actually guilty of anything.
00:04:07.560 They don't have free will, and therefore they certainly can't commit any crimes.
00:04:12.300 Instead, they're like Bob Ross.
00:04:14.140 They just commit happy little accidents.
00:04:16.900 It was an episode in that new Star Trek show
00:04:18.860 that covered similar territory.
00:04:21.340 And there's a reason that no one 1.00
00:04:22.880 other than liberal wine-aunts watched that show. 1.00
00:04:26.740 Sane people don't infantilize violent criminals
00:04:29.460 regardless of their mental state.
00:04:30.940 We throw them in prison forever at a minimum.
00:04:34.080 But the more I thought about it,
00:04:34.920 the more I wondered about the first part
00:04:36.780 of Jennifer Newsom's remarks 0.56
00:04:38.360 where she talks about killing her own sister.
00:04:40.960 I mean, that's quite a thing to just say publicly,
00:04:43.620 especially when your husband's trying to
00:04:46.320 run for president. Now, I'd never heard that story before, so I looked up some background
00:04:50.500 information, and I came across this article from the Los Angeles Times from a couple of years ago,
00:04:54.740 quote, a few days before her seventh birthday, she and her older sister, Stacey, were playing
00:04:58.980 on golf cards with several other children during a family vacation in Hawaii. Sable Newsom
00:05:02.820 didn't see her sister hiding behind her cart when it went backwards, killing the eight-year-old, 0.97
00:05:06.660 she said. The second eldest of five daughters, Sable Newsom was raised in a wealthy conservative
00:05:11.140 family in Marin County. Now, reading that story, of course, I have no reason to doubt that this was
00:05:17.260 indeed a horrible accident. She was a child. It's a terrible tragedy, unimaginable. And I wasn't
00:05:24.020 there, so this is what we're told happened. But at the same time, it also seems obvious that,
00:05:31.000 or at least likely, that something criminal may have occurred here. It's not about what
00:05:37.080 seven-year-old Jennifer was doing. It's more that if you allow your seven-year-old daughter
00:05:42.620 to drive a golf cart with so little supervision that she runs over the child, kills her,
00:05:48.700 then it would seem that we have some negligence here. The parent's job is to make sure that
00:05:52.780 something like that never happens. And whether they're wealthy or not, the same rule should
00:05:56.680 apply to everybody. So at a minimum, this would be a case of parental neglect, which to my knowledge
00:06:02.540 was never charged. Now, of course, it's a horrible story, and it's the kind of thing I'd rather not
00:06:06.680 talk about. But Jennifer talks about it. And she uses it, worst of all, to make a political point.
00:06:15.380 And worse than that, the political point she's making is evil. I mean, it's nothing short of
00:06:21.320 evil and deranged. She wants to release violent criminals onto the public. And she's using the 0.99
00:06:27.860 death of her own sister as a cudgel to drive that point home. The whole thing is unspeakably perverse
00:06:33.960 in every imaginable way.
00:06:38.120 Or maybe Jennifer Newsome was trying to tell us something here.
00:06:41.100 Maybe she was trying to communicate that,
00:06:43.380 like the violent inmates of San Quentin,
00:06:45.700 she or her parents had indeed committed a criminal act
00:06:48.900 on the day of that terrible golf cart accident.
00:06:52.160 It's hard to say.
00:06:53.460 But the more I looked into this woman,
00:06:54.840 the more I came to the conclusion that,
00:06:56.380 no, she's not trying to tell us anything intelligent at all.
00:06:59.640 On the contrary, Jennifer Newsome possesses 1.00
00:07:01.620 an extremely low IQ, coupled with a narcissistic personality. She is, in every respect, an 1.00
00:07:06.720 existential threat to Gavin Newsom's campaign for the presidency. And if they're smart,
00:07:11.320 Republicans will do exactly what I'm about to do, which is to conduct a deep dive
00:07:14.900 into her history, which is fair game because, again, she's out in public
00:07:20.420 giving her point of view and also talking about the terrible aspects of her personal history. 0.99
00:07:28.100 um but we need to before we get into that we need to play a couple of videos first from this woman's 1.00
00:07:33.620 recent public appearances in addition to being entertaining these clips could help explain why 1.00
00:07:38.600 she's keeping such a high profile so here's one video from the other day where she talks about
00:07:43.680 christy noem and pam bondy leaving the trump administration watch trust me i'm not a fan
00:07:50.760 of pam bondy nor christy noem but i need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first
00:07:57.080 two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women. Let me explain.
00:08:01.660 The conservative women that Trump handpicks, who align themselves with an agenda that controls 1.00
00:08:06.860 women, restricting our rights, limiting our autonomy, and pushing us back into this 1.00
00:08:10.920 straightjacket of femininity that is only in service of men, there's a familiar pattern here. 1.00
00:08:16.700 Women are brought in packaged Mar-a-Lago style and lifted up as long as they commit to wholeheartedly 0.90
00:08:22.180 serve the interests of the patriarch at the top. Now, it looks like power or proximity to power 1.00
00:08:27.800 with a big title, but it never comes with job security and protection. There's no secure place
00:08:33.760 inside this handpicked patriarchal body that systemically disrespects, devalues, and discriminates
00:08:38.860 against women and girls. And this is where complicity comes in. Because when you align
00:08:43.500 yourself with that value system with a leader who has publicly devalued women, degraded them,
00:08:48.320 and been found liable of abusing women, well, guess what? You're going to be the first to go.
00:08:55.780 Well, it's yet another dumb and insufferable video, which is why it's making the rounds on X,
00:08:59.940 but I don't think people on X are the intended audience of this clip. I mean, I could be wrong
00:09:05.040 about this, but it seems like Jennifer's putting out this kind of content as part of a deliberate
00:09:08.880 strategy by the Newsom team to appeal to women. It wouldn't exactly be a stretch. Everything about
00:09:14.820 Gavin Newsom's operation is highly choreographed and calculated. These are extremely cynical and
00:09:19.500 strategic people we're talking about here. So it seems reasonable to conclude that Newsom's wife
00:09:23.940 is posting these videos to appeal to women, easily the most left-wing radicalized demographic in the
00:09:29.340 electorate. And while conservatives are laughing, liberal women are eating this stuff up. But again, 1.00
00:09:35.200 something in the video caught my attention. She's attacking Donald Trump for sex stuff or something 1.00
00:09:41.380 along those lines. But if you know anything about her own personal history, it comes across
00:09:45.640 as an extremely fake, strained line of argument. As it turns out, Jennifer Sable Newsom claimed
00:09:52.160 that Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her in 2005. But importantly, she did not make that
00:09:58.220 allegation publicly for more than a decade. Instead, she kept up friendly communication
00:10:02.260 with Weinstein. In fact, two years after the alleged rape in 2007, Newsom's wife again
00:10:09.740 contacted Weinstein for advice on how to handle a sex scandal involving her husband, Gavin Newsom.
00:10:16.020 Watch. Jurors in the trial here in L.A. of Harvey Weinstein will be allowed to hear the details of an
00:10:22.140 email sent to Weinstein by the wife of Governor Newsom. Defense lawyers say Jennifer Siebel Newsom
00:10:28.020 sent the email to Weinstein in 2007 when she was dating the future governor who was then mayor of
00:10:34.660 San Francisco. She wanted advice about dealing with the media amid a sex scandal involving
00:10:41.260 Gavin Newsom. California's first partner is among the dozens of women who have accused Weinstein of
00:10:47.000 sexual assault. Well, this is more than a little bit suspicious, obviously. If somebody sexually
00:10:53.280 assaults you, then I would think you probably aren't going to reach out to that person two
00:10:58.060 years later as a friend seeking advice. You're seeking wisdom and advice from your rapist.
00:11:06.180 We're led to believe. But that's what Newsom's wife did. And she did it constantly. Quoting 0.73
00:11:12.720 from The Guardian, Weinstein's defense attorneys spent hours going through nearly 70 emails
00:11:18.200 Sable-Newsom exchanged with Weinstein in the months and years after the alleged attack.
00:11:22.080 They contrasted her bright tone in multiple requests for in-person business meetings with
00:11:26.040 Weinstein in New York and at film festivals in Toronto and Keynes with her testimony that she
00:11:32.400 had felt fear in her subsequent interactions with Weinstein. The defense attorneys noted her
00:11:37.140 signatures on different emails Weinstein received, including warm regards and XX,
00:11:44.680 and flagged that she had once responded within eight minutes to an email from Weinstein about
00:11:49.960 finding a time to meet in New York. Sable Newsome said she simply did not remember sending most of
00:11:54.600 the emails. I sent hundreds of thousands of emails to people, she testified. So that's a little
00:12:00.560 unusual. She's sending extremely friendly, very friendly, warm messages to Weinstein,
00:12:07.900 hitting him up for campaign contributions after he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
00:12:13.280 Can you ever imagine doing that, sending any kind of friendly email to someone who
00:12:17.300 sexually assaulted you but ending it with xx hugs and kisses 0.99
00:12:22.920 she also changed some important details of her story after the fact her trial testimony was
00:12:29.680 different from her previous interviews she only surfaced with her final version of the story more
00:12:33.680 than a decade later at the precise moment it became politically beneficial to claim to be a
00:12:37.740 victim so this is called a reasonable doubt and it's why after jennifer newsom testified against
00:12:42.960 Harvey Weinstein, the jury could not reach a verdict on her claims. Watch. We're also following
00:12:47.900 developments for you down in Southern California, where a verdict reached in the second sexual
00:12:52.500 assault trial of Harvey Weinstein. The disgraced movie mogul was found guilty of rape and assault
00:12:57.560 involving a woman known as Jane Doe No. 1, but he was acquitted of another count,
00:13:02.500 and the jury could not reach a verdict on several others, including charges involving Governor
00:13:07.140 Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Weinstein is already serving a 20-year sentence after being
00:13:12.160 convicted of rape and sexual assault in New York. Within the past hour, Siebel Newsom issued this
00:13:17.780 statement on the verdict, writing, quote, throughout the trial, Weinstein's lawyers used sexism,
00:13:22.260 misogyny, and bullying tactics to intimidate, demean, and ridicule us survivors. This trial
00:13:27.420 was a stark reminder that we, as a society, have work to do. To all survivors out there, I see you,
00:13:33.340 I hear you, and I stand with you. Now, again, I can't take any position on the merits of the
00:13:39.160 allegations, but it's hard not to suspect we have a Jeffrey Epstein situation here. So there's a
00:13:44.200 horrible guy who is guilty of several serious crimes, many serious crimes. But at the same time,
00:13:50.820 because the guy's so horrible, it's a free fire zone for women to come in and claim they were
00:13:55.700 victims and receive an endless stream of positive press and money in many cases. And then we call
00:14:00.620 them survivors. And if they happen to have a documentary business, which Newsom's wife did,
00:14:05.440 then the publicity is obviously a big help. What could have actually happened here,
00:14:10.400 and I don't know this, but it's a theory one might formulate, is that Jennifer had a consensual
00:14:15.360 sexual relationship with a repulsive ogre named Harvey Weinstein because she thought it would
00:14:20.740 help her professionally at the time. And then later she decided it would help her more professionally
00:14:25.320 to claim that he raped her. I mean, that seems like the other possibility, and you might argue
00:14:30.200 that it's more plausible.
00:14:33.760 Now, it's not exactly difficult to imagine Newsom's wife
00:14:36.040 pulling off a scam like this either. 1.00
00:14:38.000 As it stands, she uses her business operations, 1.00
00:14:40.560 which are supposedly nonprofits, to enrich herself.
00:14:43.320 This is reporting from the Daily Mail, quote,
00:14:45.340 IRS documents from recent years show Gavin Newsom's wife
00:14:48.700 has been paying herself and her company, Girls Club LLC,
00:14:52.400 up to a third of her nonprofit's entire income each year,
00:14:55.660 pocketing over $3.7 million from 2012 to 2023.
00:14:59.020 the nonprofit's most recent figures.
00:15:01.820 Sable Newsome 51 runs the Representation Project, 0.79
00:15:06.880 a charity that fights against intersectional gender stereotypes and harmful gender norms.
00:15:12.980 The organization brings in between $1 million and $1.7 million a year in grants and donations,
00:15:18.600 with roughly $300,000 of it going straight to her and her company in recent years, according to financial records.
00:15:26.500 Now, if you look into other nonprofits in the state, almost none of them work like this.
00:15:30.320 Around 95% of the charities and nonprofits in the state, which are comparable in size to Newsom's, pay their executives less than this.
00:15:38.640 That's according to an analysis conducted by the Daily Mail.
00:15:40.920 So she's making an awful lot for a nonprofit. 1.00
00:15:44.260 Who exactly is paying her millions of dollars to fight against intersectional gender stereotypes? 0.72
00:15:49.700 I mean, they couldn't possibly couldn't possibly be large institutions that are seeking to garner favor with her husband, who's the governor of the state.
00:15:59.820 And that couldn't be what this is all about.
00:16:02.060 This could not just be a an elaborate money laundering scheme so that rich people can funnel money to the Newsom family through this total bull nonprofit that doesn't do anything.
00:16:15.260 The article continues, quote,
00:16:45.260 in 2018. Media firm Comcast donated $15,000 over the same period and received $20 million,
00:16:51.100 while healthcare company Kaiser Permanente donated $20,000 in 2018 and in 2019 received $172 million.
00:16:59.340 Now, by itself, this should disqualify Gavin Newsom from ever holding elected office. 0.99
00:17:04.340 Everyone knows his wife runs a useless charity. They just throw a bunch of buzzwords around. 1.00
00:17:09.520 And there's no reason for this charity to receive massive donations from telecommunications companies
00:17:14.500 and big pharma, unless those companies are trying to buy favors from the administration.
00:17:20.860 It's utterly corrupt. These people are simply too dumb and I think too arrogant to hide it.
00:17:27.980 And that's why if they get into office, they'll do what the Biden administration did.
00:17:32.440 They'll lock down social media. Newsom's wife has admitted that her plan and her husband's plan,
00:17:39.200 by extension, is to censor Americans, and in particular children, who might become right-wing.
00:17:45.580 Watch. I'll give you one example. Look at Silicon Valley. Had more women been early on in those
00:17:54.260 companies or at the tables of power making decisions, I don't think we would have so much 1.00
00:18:00.800 or have allowed for so much sort of bigotry, racism, misogyny, and hate online. I don't think
00:18:08.940 that we would have the anonymity of it i think that there would have been a oh that's unkind
00:18:14.740 that's not okay you can't make money off of that about dividing people misinforming people
00:18:21.780 um you know belittling people bullying people i mean again think about who's the victims
00:18:29.860 online more often than not it's women march lgbtq plus marginalized communities women of color we're
00:18:37.020 working on legislation to hold tech companies accountable and help them be a force for good
00:18:43.000 in our kids' and families' lives, to really provide all the best-in-class resources and
00:18:49.980 support for youth so that they don't go down this rabbit hole of very, very dangerous and
00:18:56.940 limiting narratives around ultimately what it means to be a girl and what it means to
00:19:00.300 be a boy. We owe it to them and ourselves to kind of heal this gift of modern technology,
00:19:09.200 but curb it to be a force for good. I mean, look, the Gov and I, we have three more years.
00:19:14.360 We're trying to institutionalize our values so that they carry on beyond our term.
00:19:22.340 It's all very reminiscent of the NPR CEO, who you may have forgotten about, but she's the one
00:19:27.400 delivered that infamous line at one of her TED Talks where she says that the truth isn't really
00:19:32.640 that important. What's necessary, she says, is consensus. Just to refresh your memory, here it is
00:19:37.920 again. I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is
00:19:45.620 preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done. This is why Gavin Newsom
00:19:51.080 and his wife would happily ban you from all social media and throw you in prison if you dare to say
00:19:57.240 that a man can't really become a woman. 1.00
00:19:59.580 Now, sure, you might be telling the truth, 1.00
00:20:00.900 but the truth doesn't matter to women like this. 1.00
00:20:03.500 What matters is that everybody gets along. 0.98
00:20:06.520 And that is, of course, everyone agrees with her.
00:20:09.540 Everybody else should be silenced.
00:20:11.460 That's why if you're a parent
00:20:12.460 and your child flees to California
00:20:14.260 to undergo life-altering castration and gender mutilation,
00:20:17.860 then Gavin Newsom's California 0.97
00:20:19.440 will take custody of your child. 0.99
00:20:21.320 They'll call you a bigot 0.94
00:20:22.300 while they destroy your child's life and yours.
00:20:25.360 What I find interesting about the Newsoms is that they both relentlessly promote liberal leftist ideologies that are corrosive to family formation and undermine traditional values.
00:20:36.640 However, at the same time, they've been in a heterosexual marriage for roughly 20 years and have four children together.
00:20:44.160 By those measures, they are more trad in terms of their own lifestyle than many Americans are.
00:20:50.220 Even a lot of conservatives aren't married with four kids.
00:20:53.420 Now, of course, Gavin Newsom is on his second marriage and his wife has the Weinstein stuff in her past.
00:20:58.640 But in terms of their current relationship, at some level, it has more of the hallmarks of a traditional marriage than certainly many other politicians.
00:21:08.720 But that's not a credit to them, actually, because what it tells me is the Newsoms know that the traditional family model is the best.
00:21:17.040 That's why they chose it when they both could have chosen anything else.
00:21:21.700 But as elites, they still promote insidious ideologies that end up harming the ordinary people who listen to them.
00:21:28.820 So the rest of you should not have stable nuclear families, but of course they want one.
00:21:34.820 Why wouldn't they want one? 0.97
00:21:36.300 It works best. It makes you happy.
00:21:38.220 Of course they want one for themselves.
00:21:41.700 So it's the perfect illustration for them of luxury beliefs.
00:21:45.900 and it's also why despite what you may have gathered from this monologue i truly believe
00:21:50.720 that gavin newsom's wife is is great she's awesome i mean without irony i really think 1.00
00:21:56.500 she's an incredible woman for one reason uh that she's the perfect feminist not only because she's
00:22:03.580 constantly out babbling about how men are evil but also because her husband is trying to achieve 1.00
00:22:09.360 something great becoming president wouldn't be great for the country but that would be a great
00:22:14.240 accomplishment for an individual. And she's determined to put herself at the center of the
00:22:19.040 story and destroy his dream in the process. If Newsom's presidential ambitions are dashed,
00:22:26.480 which hopefully they are, his wife will be one of the primary reasons for that.
00:22:31.860 It's great. That's also a very instructive, cautionary tale for young men. And the moral
00:22:39.360 of the story is never marry a feminist. She will ruin your life. Guaranteed. Now let's get to our 1.00
00:22:48.140 five headlines. Apparently getting a decent night's sleep now requires adding a hundred useless things
00:22:59.000 to your bed. You need the right pillow, the right gadget, the right app to track how poorly you're
00:23:03.500 sleeping. It's all very scientific and very exhausting. And guess what? You probably don't
00:23:07.160 need any of it all you need is a solid pair of sheets and bedding but you don't always realize
00:23:11.700 how bad your box store sheets have gotten until you finally replace them that's why you need to

00:23:39.080 My wife and I have had their signature sheets
00:23:40.540 on our bed for a while now, and they're worth it.
00:23:43.100 I was very skeptical of the idea
00:23:44.640 that they get softer with every wash,
00:23:46.100 but time has proved me wrong.
00:23:47.480 They really are phenomenal quality and comfort combined.

00:24:07.380 All right, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this today
00:24:09.020 because I'm planning to do a big monologue,
00:24:11.500 deep dive into it tomorrow.
00:24:13.460 So we'll spend a lot of time on it tomorrow.
00:24:15.600 It deserves a lot of time,
00:24:16.960 but I do want to mention it.
00:24:20.600 Mention this as the ceasefire takes effect in Iran.
00:24:24.940 Of course, as I'm sure you heard,
00:24:27.260 a ceasefire that I hope holds.
00:24:29.280 I hope it leads to lasting peace.
00:24:31.420 I think it's too early to say whether that will be the case.
00:24:34.240 I pray that it is.
00:24:35.520 I think every American prays that that's what will happen.
00:24:39.720 And I pray especially that we can now get back to focusing on the United States, on our country, our home.
00:24:49.040 Because we have huge problems here.
00:24:52.400 And a significant amount of Trump's second term has been focused on issues abroad, on things happening in foreign countries.
00:25:02.820 and um i want to bring the attention back here starting with this that the party which is
00:25:10.820 supposed to be pro-sovereignty pro-border often is not and that's why maria salazar a republican
00:25:16.520 has introduced an amnesty bill a bill that a number of other republicans have already signed
00:25:21.180 on to it's an amnesty bill called the dignity act and that name is already bad enough because
00:25:26.040 the dignity alluded to in the name of the bill is for the illegal aliens, not for us,
00:25:32.660 not for Americans. But it's worse than that because the actual name of the bill,
00:25:38.500 which I'm not making up, this is the actual name, is the Dignidad Act, which is dignity in Spanish. 0.58
00:25:45.720 So this Hispanic lawmaker has introduced an amnesty bill with a Spanish name. 0.83
00:25:51.580 i mean that's how shameless these people are and that's how much they hate you that's how 0.59
00:25:57.240 little respect they have for you and now salazar is all over the place screaming that this is not
00:26:02.480 an amnesty bill it's not going to give amnesty anyone who says it's an amnesty bill is lying
00:26:07.580 she says but of course she's lying and and we'll get into the text of the bill tomorrow with much
00:26:12.700 more specificity but but she is lying i'll tell you that and and she's gaslighting she's misdirecting
00:26:18.640 because one of the ways you know that it's an amnesty bill,
00:26:22.820 reading it is one way to find out.
00:26:25.920 Another way is to listen to her talk about it,
00:26:27.980 listen to her own words, like this, for example.
00:26:30.780 Listen.
00:26:31.700 We give them dignity.
00:26:33.460 At some point in the future,
00:26:35.320 another legislator will write another law
00:26:37.620 to give them path to citizenship.
00:26:39.680 Right now, what we need to do is to buy peace for these people,
00:26:43.080 allow them to stay, to continue working,
00:26:45.940 because they are needed.
00:26:46.960 So even by her own admission, by her own sales pitch, this is a bill that is intended to keep the illegal aliens around so that someone else will give them amnesty.
00:26:58.220 Now, it's actually worse than that. And we'll get it as we'll see.
00:27:01.380 But her own pitch for the bill is that what she's saying, this is her like putting as positive a spin on it as she can, is that we keep them here and then we wait for the Democrats to amnesty them.
00:27:14.280 and Salazar says we need to do that 0.97
00:27:17.620 because we have all these illegal aliens here 1.00
00:27:19.660 and it's our only choice 1.00
00:27:21.240 you know
00:27:21.780 so we have to do it
00:27:23.760 and it's the dignified approach
00:27:26.040 but
00:27:28.600 that's obviously not true
00:27:30.520 there is another option
00:27:31.980 there is another choice
00:27:33.000 see the illegal immigration issue
00:27:35.400 as I am always saying
00:27:36.460 is actually not difficult
00:27:37.960 it's actually not complicated
00:27:39.200 it's not complex
00:27:40.800 it's not really nuanced
00:27:42.100 it's not
00:27:44.280 It's not some, it's a big problem, but not all big problems are complicated. In fact, I would even say most of them are not. On a national societal scale, most of the big problems that we face are big in terms of their scope and their ramifications and their consequences.
00:28:06.920 is they are not complicated, though.
00:28:09.140 They're actually pretty simple.
00:28:12.800 Like we always talked about with violent crime.
00:28:15.000 Violent crime is a big problem.
00:28:16.600 There's a lot of it.
00:28:17.360 It's big in scope.
00:28:18.260 It's not complicated.
00:28:20.220 It's actually very easy.
00:28:22.400 You arrest the violent criminals,
00:28:23.740 you put them in jail.
00:28:25.520 And or you execute them.
00:28:27.460 Problem solved.
00:28:28.780 Right?
00:28:29.000 I mean, that's how you solve that problem.
00:28:30.460 Pretty simple.
00:28:32.340 And illegal immigration is the same way.
00:28:34.780 It's a simple equation.
00:28:36.920 And it goes like this. If you came here illegally, you need to leave. That's it. End of story. 0.99
00:28:46.520 But what if they've been here for 10 years? They got to go. What if they've been here for 20 years?
00:28:52.400 They got to go. What if they haven't committed any other crimes? They got to go. What if they have a
00:28:57.020 family? They got to go. What if they're really nice people? Well, great. I'm glad they're nice,
00:29:01.280 but they got to go. It's not hard. We have laws in this country. You broke the law. You don't
00:29:06.780 belong here. You're not a citizen. Nothing personal, really, but get out. It shouldn't
00:29:15.580 be hard for elected Republicans to articulate this point. And if they do have trouble articulating
00:29:20.720 it, this exact point, if you're an illegal immigrant, you got to go. If they have trouble 0.99
00:29:28.160 saying that, or if they say the opposite, then they also have to go, at least leave from office.
00:29:36.780 But if we kick him out of the country, too, I'd love that as well.
00:29:42.180 And that's not complicated either.
00:29:44.680 And yet this is what we're getting from Republicans.
00:29:47.020 You know, the SAVE Act is not passed. 1.00
00:29:50.040 And instead, so we said, hey, could you do the SAVE Act and protect our elections from foreigners who come here and have no right to vote? 1.00
00:29:58.020 And Republicans said, no, we can't do that. 0.98
00:30:01.380 But what we could do is amnesty.
00:30:04.160 How about that?
00:30:07.760 And, you know, every new crop of Republicans, we get in there, they run on deportations,
00:30:12.180 they run on border security, they run on national sovereignty.
00:30:15.940 And then once they get into power, they say, well, but we can't actually do that.
00:30:21.060 This is the same process, the same thing with every issue with Republicans, really.
00:30:28.960 They run, they say, we're going to do this.
00:30:30.860 And then they get in and it's like, well, we can't really do.
00:30:33.200 We can't really, we can't actually do that.
00:30:36.780 why can't you? Why can't you do it? What's the reason? No, you can, you just don't want to.
00:30:45.260 You don't want to because your donors don't want you to, and that's it. It's that simple.
00:30:52.800 Now, when you say we can't do it, what you mean is that you can't do it while keeping your donors
00:30:57.240 happy. That's what you mean. You forgot the second part of that sentence. And this is why,
00:31:03.520 as I say, I'm happy the ceasefire is in place. Hopefully it stays in place. Now we need to
00:31:07.940 obsessively focus on our own country. And Trump is going to need to take drastic action in our
00:31:14.560 country, in our borders. As I've said all along, the Iran war was, hopefully was, risky, politically 0.65
00:31:25.420 unpopular, drastic. I mean, even if you were a proponent of the war, you must, if you're a 0.74
00:31:33.520 Going to war at all, there's a lot of risk.
00:31:36.520 I mean, the polls say it was politically unpopular.
00:31:38.900 It just simply was with the majority of Americans.
00:31:42.940 And anytime you go to war, it's a drastic action.
00:31:46.700 Well, my point is, look, if you're going to do something risky, politically unpopular and drastic, make it this.
00:31:54.020 Mass deportations.
00:31:55.240 I mean, mass deportations.
00:31:58.040 Everyone. 0.99
00:31:59.000 All illegal aliens. 1.00
00:32:00.300 All of them. 1.00
00:32:00.860 Every single one.
00:32:01.720 because I will fully admit that doing that politically is risky. It might prove to be
00:32:11.440 unpopular. It might not prove to be unpopular, but it could be. I'm not one of these conservatives
00:32:17.420 that says, oh no, everyone will love it. It'll be totally fine. You'll get 80% approval.
00:32:23.000 It won't be that popular. It could end up, depending on how it goes, and we know the media
00:32:26.820 would go into overdrive. The media already went, I mean, just deporting people who we know are
00:32:33.120 criminals and sex offenders and fraudsters, we know what the media did. So if you were really
00:32:38.340 doing mass deportations, like deporting illegal aliens by the millions, including tons of them
00:32:44.940 that never committed another crime aside from coming here illegally, the media would treat it
00:32:51.660 like a nuclear holocaust. And it's quite likely that that would work politically.
00:33:03.300 Still needs to be done. It needs to be done. Because if Trump's not going to do it, then
00:33:08.000 nobody ever will. And for that, I'm willing to accept the political consequences. And I think
00:33:16.120 millions of Americans are. I'm not necessarily convinced that it will result in a blue wave
00:33:22.480 bloodbath. It could. And even if it does, it's worth it. Because it just has to be done. 0.95
00:33:34.720 And as I said, if Trump doesn't do it, then whoever will.
00:33:41.640 And if we're going to be using political capital on something huge, something huge, then it should be this.
00:33:54.100 And also defying the judges all along the way who say you can't do that.
00:34:03.300 It's just like Congress said, hey, you can't go to war without congressional approval.
00:34:07.660 And constitutionally, they've got a pretty good argument.
00:34:11.640 And the argument for the other side is basically, yeah, but we're going to, because that's what people have been, you know, that's what presidents have been doing for a while now.
00:34:20.100 Okay, what about that attitude with these judges?
00:34:23.040 The judges could step in and say, yeah, but you can't do that.
00:34:26.080 Yeah, it's okay, but we're going to.
00:34:28.000 We're just going to do it.
00:34:29.400 We're just going to do it because it needs to be done.
00:34:32.680 And let the chips fall where they may.
00:34:34.980 Whatever happens next, happens next.

00:35:59.740 One of the reasons it must be done is because of stories like this from the New York Post.
00:36:06.480 A Haitian illegal immigrant released into the U.S. by the Biden administration's lax immigration policies allegedly bludgeoned a Florida mother at a gas station in a brazen daylight attack.
00:36:17.680 Robert Joaquin, 40, is accused of striking the 51-year-old woman multiple times, leaving her to die in the parking lot outside of a gas station.
00:36:27.040 um she was pronounced dead at the scene
00:36:30.360 and uh now he's been arrested he's from
00:36:36.780 haiti this was someone that as i said the
00:36:38.640 biden administration had this person and
00:36:40.880 released them um and it's a just horrific
00:36:45.800 now first of all biden administration
00:36:49.100 officials are responsible for
00:36:51.520 countless american deaths
00:36:57.040 I mean, the Biden administration was essentially a terrorist organization.
00:37:01.180 And they should all be arrested and charged and put on trial like Nuremberg.
00:37:07.100 And given the requisite punishments.
00:37:10.520 I mean, these were traitors who did everything they could to flood our cities with as many psychotic, violent criminals as possible.
00:37:17.420 They are directly responsible for countless deaths, untold suffering.
00:37:24.080 This is not an extreme stance at all.
00:37:27.040 What they did was extreme, intentionally releasing hundreds, thousands of
00:37:34.660 horrifically violent criminals from all over the world into the general population.
00:37:43.860 It's a crime against humanity. They should all be on trial. Every Biden official should be in
00:37:50.540 leg irons, sitting in a cell right now, starting with the old, senile, sickly man himself.
00:38:02.880 It ain't no way to say, well, he's going to die soon. He has cancer. He should die in a jail cell.
00:38:06.760 That's where he should die. And if you think that I'm going too far, the video of this attack is
00:38:17.720 online. You can go watch it. I don't really recommend it, but it's online. I saw it. I
00:38:23.840 didn't want to see it. Popped up. I saw it. That's a direct, direct consequence of Biden
00:38:33.440 administration and Biden himself and Biden officials. They are the reason why this woman 0.55
00:38:39.940 was bludgeoned to death with a hammer in a gas station parking lot in broad daylight.
00:38:45.020 and she's one of countless other victims.
00:38:50.800 We all know that Democrats will spend the rest of Trump's life trying to put him in prison. 0.54
00:38:55.720 Meanwhile, Democrat officials are releasing hammer-wielding Haitian madmen on the public 0.73
00:39:00.640 and not a single one of them will ever face any punishment. None of them will ever be held 0.79
00:39:08.780 accountable. None of them will ever have to answer for any of it. And that's the difference
00:39:14.300 in the two parties, really. I think it's also worth noting that this victim was also an immigrant
00:39:25.200 from, I believe, Bangladesh. No indication she was an illegal immigrant, but she was an immigrant.
00:39:31.400 And the reason I point that out is just to make the obvious point, which is that once again,
00:39:34.580 as always, Democrat policy is ostensibly meant to help or protect certain communities actually
00:39:39.960 harm that community directly as well. We've seen this forever with the black community.
00:39:46.240 Every Democrat policy meant to help the black community supposedly has been an unmitigated
00:39:50.180 disaster. Every single one, black community is in ruins, destroyed. Not thanks entirely to policy 1.00
00:39:56.280 failures, but certainly those policies didn't help at all. They only made everything worse.
00:40:01.760 And the same thing here. You know, the morbid irony is that violent immigrants released in 1.00
00:40:07.480 the public tend very often to end up in areas, in communities, with lots of other immigrants 0.89
00:40:11.860 because they're poor areas. And then those immigrants fall victim to it. I mean, think 1.00
00:40:15.420 about Irina Zarutska. She was a Ukrainian refugee. Now, she was killed not by an immigrant, 0.91
00:40:21.080 it was an American, but by a violent offender unleashed on the public by Democrat policies. 0.60
00:40:27.980 Now, I'm not saying that this aspect of it is the main problem with Democrat immigration
00:40:32.060 policies. I'm not saying that Democrat immigration policies are primarily bad because of how they
00:40:38.360 hurt immigrants. It's primarily bad because of how it hurts our country. But the point simply is that
00:40:43.840 these policies are a disaster from the top to bottom, right? I mean, all the way down for
00:40:48.460 everybody. Well, not all the way from the top, okay? They're a disaster for everyone except
00:40:55.280 Democrat politicians, Democrat officials, and their donors. That group benefits. Everybody
00:41:03.060 else, everybody else is harmed. There is no upside really for anyone else to include
00:41:10.580 the people that the policies are allegedly attended to help. And meanwhile, American citizens
00:41:18.200 whose well-being isn't even factored in, isn't even considered a factor at all,
00:41:26.920 they are, of course, left with the shortest end of the stick.
00:41:31.240 My show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,
00:41:35.100 an affordable, private, non-profit Christian university based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:41:40.000 At GCU, academically rigorous, industry-driven programs are built to provide you with practical skills and career readiness.
00:41:46.260 They believe education shouldn't be a privilege, but an affordable path forward.
00:41:50.920 Because of this, GCU has kept tuition at the same rate on its traditional campus for the past 17 years and will continue that into the 26-27 academic year.
00:41:59.480 Plus, they awarded over $404 million in institutional GCU scholarships last year to support and encourage education.
00:42:06.940 Grounded in Christian truth, GCU works to empower the next generation to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and help transform their communities.
00:42:14.220 So take action and find your purpose at GCU. Visit gcu.edu to learn more.
00:42:19.960 I guess I'll mention this. A couple of weeks ago, the International Olympic Committee announced a new policy officially declaring that only women, actual women, women can compete in women's sports.
00:42:28.660 So it took them years to come to this conclusion. The IOC spent years deliberating, trying to figure out, you know, if women have penises.
00:42:36.820 And finally, after years of careful thought and consideration, they decided that, no, actually, they don't.
00:42:41.740 women don't have penises, men don't have, don't, don't, you know, don't, uh, don't create babies.
00:42:48.580 Um, when men don't give birth, they finally reached that conclusion and most people are happy, 0.97
00:42:55.840 but Megan Rapinoe, the female soccer player who is famous, not for her athletic abilities,
00:43:02.560 but for having a big mouth, she's not so happy. And, uh, here's what she had to say.
00:43:07.400 It is Transgender Day of Visibility, so we just want to wish our trans family the happiest
00:43:15.000 of days.
00:43:16.000 We love you.
00:43:17.000 We see you.
00:43:18.000 We know how trying these times are for you right now and just wanted to take a moment
00:43:24.500 to say that.
00:43:26.800 And unfortunately, we have to say that all in the same breath as a really horrible rule
00:43:35.800 that came out from the international olympic committee they've announced a new policy that
00:43:40.760 they're calling i can't even believe they're calling it this because it has nothing to do
00:43:47.000 with protecting women i feel like two people who played at the very highest level for every
00:43:53.320 competition that you possibly could don't agree with this and never felt like this was an issue
00:43:59.640 at all, the protection of the female-bracketed women's category. They're limiting people 1.00
00:44:07.140 eligible to compete in the women's category to those who qualify as what they're calling 0.99
00:44:14.040 quote-unquote biological females. This will require a once-in-a-lifetime screening of 1.00
00:44:21.100 all women's athletes for the SRY gene, and if an athlete tests positive for this gene,
00:44:27.940 they will have to compete in the male category we already know that biology as much as we want it to
00:44:34.580 be just nice and clean and tight and perfectly in one category another it's not we know that so now 1.00
00:44:41.980 what we're doing is subjecting everybody all women and all people who are identifying as women
00:44:50.060 to this really invasive testing that only to me just says like oh so we're just trying to whittle 0.58
00:44:56.840 it down to a certain type of woman is that what we're doing like that's really the whole game here 0.97
00:45:02.200 like there's been you know they sort of like lost the battle on gay marriage and lost about all 0.87
00:45:07.240 these things so it's just like we're gonna have this whole campaign for all these years to just
00:45:10.280 hate trans people which is such a small percentage of the population it's actually like on a single
00:45:16.600 hand when we're talking about sports and just like thread the absolute tightest needle thread
00:45:24.440 that you possibly could this committee is framing it as based in science which it's not and this
00:45:31.960 will ultimately just prevent people from competing within the women's category that they feel like 0.99
00:45:38.120 have an unfair advantage um it's just really hateful by the way the invasive test that she's 0.77
00:45:45.320 talking about is a cheek swab um and the certain type of woman that the the ioc wants in the woman 0.97
00:45:52.920 category is the type of woman that is a woman. Now, it's kind of like when we call something a
00:45:59.000 tree, we're only referring to a certain type of tree, which is the type of tree that is a tree.
00:46:05.180 So the term tree is very exclusive. It's very discriminatory towards all the trees that are
00:46:09.820 not trees. By only calling trees trees, we are ostracizing rocks that are trees and fish that
00:46:17.600 are trees. It's kind of like that. There's not much else to say about this. I mean, not much
00:46:22.120 else that needs to be said. Megan Rapinoe represents a dying ideology and not even a 0.98
00:46:29.900 dying ideology so much as a, I mean, it's that, but it's also kind of like a mass psychosis,
00:46:34.340 a mass delusion that has lifted for the most part. There was a moment in time when a lot of
00:46:41.180 people in the culture pretended to take people like Megan Rapinoe seriously. A time when people
00:46:45.820 pretended that there was some kind of good argument for allowing men into women's sports.
00:46:50.340 nobody ever explained what the argument was nobody ever made a good argument but lots of people
00:46:55.920 pretended and i think that hallucination has lifted and and you know and once it lifts this is
00:47:03.420 why rapinoe is kind of it's a fruitless endeavor because once it lifts there's no going back to it
00:47:13.360 there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube right um it's kind of like i was thinking
00:47:19.220 about this today. Somebody mentioned on X that NFTs, remember the little monkey pictures? A few
00:47:26.220 years ago, these monkey pictures were selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars around the same 1.00
00:47:31.080 time that the trans craze was in full swing. And the BLM craze and COVID. It's like all these, 0.98
00:47:38.420 just all of human society lost its mind, basically. I mean, really. But NFTs were
00:47:48.660 also a thing, nobody really knew why, no one could explain it. It's like, why, why would this,
00:47:54.800 why are we doing this? Why would you spend hundreds of thousands? What is this? And nobody
00:47:59.500 could explain it. It was just sort of happening. And then it stopped. And now the monkey picture
00:48:04.520 sells for 19 cents in a paperclip. And, you know, as an analogy for transgenderism, it's maybe a bit
00:48:11.600 unhelpful, um, not much connecting trans ideology to NFTs, except just that people get swept up
00:48:18.660 people are very susceptible to getting swept up into fads. 0.64
00:48:23.240 And that's ultimately what trans ideology was or is.
00:48:26.420 I mean, it existed prior to a few years ago,
00:48:29.320 but its mass adoption, its mainstream acceptance was a fad. 0.90
00:48:33.180 And like most fads, nobody could rationally explain it or defend it.
00:48:38.940 Nobody who got carried away by it could really justify it.
00:48:43.500 And now the thing has faded.
00:48:44.920 Um, now I will say though, the fad could have become potentially a more permanent fixture 0.98
00:48:54.420 of American culture. It could have metastasized to mixed metaphors if we hadn't fought back. So
00:49:01.340 it had a lot of the hallmarks of a fad, a very deranged fad destroyed a lot of lives, 0.91
00:49:09.320 but with a fad like, you know, the kinds of jeans that somebody wears, that kind of comes and goes
00:49:16.480 on its own. This had to be beaten back and it was successfully and much to Megan Rapinoe's
00:49:25.240 chagrin. Thanks to HomeServe for sponsoring this episode. There are a lot of perks to owning a home
00:49:31.160 versus renting from a landlord, but one of the things that most people dread about buying and
00:49:35.780 owning a home are the expensive repairs that are bound to happen. Regular homeowner's insurance
00:49:39.740 doesn't cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical issues, leaving you on
00:49:43.960 your own to cover the repairs. But now there's another option called HomeServe. For as little
00:49:48.300 as $4.99 a month, you've got backup when things break. Instead of frantically searching for a
00:49:53.400 contractor in a panic, you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24-7 hotline
00:49:58.340 getting somebody scheduled. HomeServe has a lot of different plans to choose from that covers
00:50:02.600 different things. Just pick a plan that fits your budget. When something goes wrong, all you got to
00:50:06.920 do is call HomeServe and they will handle it. They've been doing this for over 20 years.
00:50:12.340 The network of 2,600 local contractors. HomeServe could have been great when my wife and I first
00:50:18.600 bought a house instead of spending hours calling around for quotes and costs.
00:50:22.780 Could have just called HomeServe and could have been one and done if we'd had it then.

00:51:16.420 Well, yesterday we talked about a story that to me,
00:51:19.000 narcissistically seemed as though it had been written to antagonize
00:51:22.380 and annoy me personally.
00:51:24.260 Here's another one of those.
00:51:26.020 This is from a woman named Zoe.
00:51:29.080 in the Guardian. There's basically no chance. And then there's a picture of her too. She's got
00:51:33.220 short hair. I don't even need to see the article. A woman named Zoe with short hair writing in the
00:51:39.700 Guardian. There's zero chance that I am going to agree with anything she says, no matter what the
00:51:43.640 subject is. And certainly not on this. So she says, let's stop going into space. There's nothing
00:51:52.580 to see and no one to talk to. It's absolutely self-evident to me that space exploration is
00:51:57.680 pointless. And the more urgent the crises besetting the planet we live on, the more pointless it
00:52:02.240 becomes. I can see why people got excited about it in the 1960s, back when the world was young,
00:52:06.880 and we still thought they're... Back when the world was young? In the 1960s? When do you think
00:52:12.380 the world came into being, Zoe? Anyway, the world was created in 1900, according to Zoe.
00:52:24.240 uh most serious opinion however has now settled on the where is everybody paradox first framed by
00:52:31.820 the physicist enrico fermi in 1950 if there's intelligent life anywhere why has it not sought
00:52:37.460 to make contact well it's because there isn't there's nothing out there except planets infinitely
00:52:42.380 less beautiful than this one we live on and uh blah blah blah she goes on for a while about why
00:52:49.720 we shouldn't have space exploration. I mean, first of all, as to our claim that there's no
00:52:53.680 life anywhere, um, even if that were true, that wouldn't, that it wouldn't, it wouldn't follow
00:52:58.260 that we shouldn't not explore space, but yeah, talk about the Fermi paradox. Well, the Fermi
00:53:05.560 paradox is pretty stupid. I mean, it's really quite dumb. The fact that no life has contacted
00:53:13.580 at us and we haven't seen any, does not even begin to indicate that we're alone in the universe.
00:53:20.120 The reason we haven't heard anything, I mean, aside from the fact that maybe we have heard
00:53:24.300 something, I mean, we're assuming we haven't, but fine. The reason is both distance and time.
00:53:33.360 You know, the universe is unfathomably vast. And every time somebody makes this point,
00:53:38.900 well, it's a parrot. If there's something out there, why haven't we seen it?
00:53:41.760 it's like people say that you really have no idea how big the universe is now nobody has any firm
00:53:48.700 idea but some people just have not reflected on that at all it's like in your mind you think the
00:53:54.080 universe is as big as a you know a large home that you rent on airbnb or something let me put
00:54:03.060 this in perspective for you the voyager space probe left earth in the 70s i think 1977 it's
00:54:10.200 currently 15 billion miles from Earth. That's the farthest any man-made object has ever gone.
00:54:16.960 Surrounding our solar system is something called the Oort Cloud, which is like a really big debris
00:54:22.680 field, basically. It's like ice and rocks and stuff. And Voyager, and this is just the surrounding
00:54:29.840 our, just our solar system, Voyager will not make it to the inner edge of that cloud for another
00:54:37.200 300 years, traveling at 38,000 miles an hour, which is 70 times faster than a commercial airline.
00:54:44.700 300 years just to make it to this cloud. It'll be another 30,000 years, yes, 30,000 years
00:54:53.620 before it leaves the Oort cloud. That's how big just this random cloud of dust around our solar
00:55:00.920 system is. Just to pass through it, it will take the Voyager longer than the entire history of
00:55:07.800 human civilization. Like, think about the time that's passed between the ancient Egyptians and
00:55:12.000 us. It's that times 10, just to get through this one little piece of the universe. Even when it
00:55:22.040 gets through, it'd still be another 10,000 years before it makes it within the vicinity of another
00:55:27.120 solar system. So if there is life just next door to us in the nearest solar system, our next door
00:55:34.180 neighbor, if there is life, maybe the Voyager will find some indication of it in 40,000 years.
00:55:42.420 And even then, it probably won't actually find any indication because it's not exploring the
00:55:47.280 solar system. It's just kind of passing by it. I'm just saying the distances are incomprehensible.
00:55:53.600 I mean, they're so great that even if we could travel the speed of light, which we can't,
00:55:56.460 obviously, probably never will. But if we could, it would still take 25,000 years to make it to
00:56:02.320 the closest neighboring galaxy, like 100 billion galaxies in the universe that we know of, just to
00:56:07.680 make it to the closest one. Galactically, we're talking about next door to us. And it would be
00:56:13.520 25,000 years, 300 lifetimes, traveling at a speed that's impossible. So why haven't we, as far as
00:56:22.120 we know, been contacted by any life in the universe? Well, because everything is really,
00:56:28.420 really, really far away. I mean, that's actually the reason. It always is funny to me when people
00:56:35.540 kind of blow that off as, oh, come on, that's a lame excuse. No, it's not. I mean, that's the
00:56:41.020 reason. It's huge. It's really big. I don't know how else to put it. It's like, imagine if somebody
00:56:46.740 told you about blue whales and you never heard of blue whales before. They told you,
00:56:52.120 but largest animals on earth. And you never heard of them. And they said, it was blue whales. You
00:56:56.980 said, where are the blue whales? And they said, oh, they're in the ocean. And so you go to the
00:57:01.580 Atlantic ocean and you go to the, you go to the outer banks, North Carolina, and you swim out
00:57:06.000 into the surf and you put on a snorkel and you swim a little bit farther and you don't see any
00:57:10.960 blue whales. And so you come back to the shore and you say, well, the whole blue whale story is a
00:57:14.780 myth. I mean, if these whales are really out there, why didn't I see one? It's the blue whale
00:57:21.500 paradox. It's a paradox. Yes, it's a paradox. You say there are these big creatures out there,
00:57:27.380 yet I was in the ocean for five minutes and I didn't see one. It's a paradox. It's a mystery.
00:57:33.360 I mean, the only way we can explain this is if there are actually no whales.
00:57:36.740 No, the reason you didn't see one is that the ocean is big. That is the reason. The ocean is
00:57:44.740 really big and there are comparatively few blue whales, but they are there. It's just that your
00:57:50.820 likelihood of seeing one when you inspect like half an acre of vast ocean is extremely small.
00:57:58.340 And this analogy doesn't even capture it because of course the universe is a zillion times bigger
00:58:02.380 than the ocean. But you get my point. Like if you went to the ocean for 30 minutes and actually saw
00:58:08.160 a blue whale, that would be infinitely more shocking than not seeing one. It'd be so shocking
00:58:13.640 that I wouldn't believe you unless you got a picture of it. You know, even though I know the
00:58:22.040 whales are out there, but the size of the ocean combined with the small amount of time you spent
00:58:26.260 looking and the tiny space you searched makes actually seeing a whale really implausible.
00:58:31.920 Now, if you spent a decade searching over the entire ocean and you came back and said,
00:58:35.900 I finally saw a blue whale, then I'd believe you.
00:58:38.940 Or if there was a blue whale in a tank at SeaWorld, you'd need a pretty big tank,
00:58:44.040 and you told me you searched that tank for 10 minutes and saw one, I'd believe you.
00:58:48.060 But a short time and a huge space, those factors together make seeing one really unlikely
00:58:56.580 or hearing one or getting any glimpse of one at all.
00:59:02.420 And for us, the amount of time we spent looking for alien life or potentially able to receive
00:59:06.280 communication is basically 30 minutes. I mean, more like 30 seconds in the proportion to the
00:59:11.080 age and size of the universe. I mean, that's the other thing too. Earth could have received
00:59:16.140 contact 10,000 years ago from, we wouldn't know it, right? So we've only been searching and
00:59:21.800 listening in this infinite expanse for a very, very short amount of time. We're still a single
00:59:25.880 lifetime, right? The entire space age has only lasted for less than a lifetime. One lifetime.
00:59:35.660 Okay. The president of the United States was 10 years old when the first satellite was launched.
00:59:43.540 My dad is older than the oldest man-made object currently orbiting the earth, which is a U.S.
00:59:51.020 satellite that is out of commission and just space junk now. But, uh, but the point like this,
00:59:56.900 we're re this, we just started, we just started doing this. That's what's so absurd about these
01:00:04.000 people. And this goes to a larger point. These people will say, Oh, we've been going to space
01:00:08.680 forever. Why, why, what, what's good. Why are we, we haven't even made it past the moon yet.
01:00:13.420 It's been like 70 years.
01:00:17.440 Can you give it a minute here?
01:00:20.780 It's been 70 years.
01:00:22.940 That's nothing.
01:00:25.180 That might as well be 70 seconds.
01:00:27.880 That's nothing.
01:00:29.920 That's barely, I mean, that's not even a human lifetime.
01:00:36.760 The space-age exploration has lasted 70 years.
01:00:40.220 if previous generations had given up on their explorations after 70 years, nothing ever would
01:00:46.960 have been discovered. The age of sail, the age of oceanic discovery lasted for centuries.
01:00:54.700 It lasted for longer than the United States has existed as a country. Columbus discovered the
01:00:59.480 Americas in 1492. Europeans would not discover, say, Hawaii, which is the last state that was
01:01:09.360 entered into the Union, wouldn't discover it, wouldn't discover that the landmass exists at all
01:01:15.340 for 300 years after Columbus. And 300 years later, they're still sailing around on boats that look
01:01:22.100 almost the same and finding massive plots of land that they didn't know about. And there are places
01:01:29.180 on earth today that we still have, there are places currently on earth still that we've never seen
01:01:33.300 deep in the Amazon, down at the bottom of the ocean.
01:01:38.160 And so, you know, we've basically been doing the space thing for like 10 seconds
01:01:42.020 and everyone's already looking at their watch.
01:01:43.420 Hey, what? What's going on?
01:01:47.000 Why are we out of the solar system by now?
01:01:49.840 Why haven't we colonized the solar system?
01:01:54.120 Why don't we have a colony on a moon of Jupiter yet?
01:01:58.540 What? Come on. What's taking so long?
01:02:03.300 it's absurd. All right. Finally, here's something I want to mention briefly. This is
01:02:09.440 some gossip, some salacious gossip from the sports world. Not the kind of thing that I would
01:02:14.140 usually discuss on the show, but there's a reason that I'm talking about it. I think there's a
01:02:19.540 takeaway. So page six has photos secretly taken of a meeting, shall we say, between New England
01:02:29.880 Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, and a prominent NFL reporter named Diana Rossini. And we'll put
01:02:37.780 the photos up on the screen so you can see it. Page six reports, exclusive photos obtained by
01:02:42.540 page six appear to show the New England Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, I don't know why I'm
01:02:47.200 having trouble with his name, and the New York Times top reporter holding hands and hugging at
01:02:52.560 a luxurious hotel. Vrabel and Diana Rossini, former anchor on ESPN's flagship sports center,
01:02:58.400 were spotted two weekends ago at the Ambient in Sedona, Arizona. And you could see them,
01:03:08.780 photos show the two hugging at sunset, weaving their fingers together as they stand face to face.
01:03:13.680 And the spy, they said they saw the pair briefly dance together.
01:03:18.780 Now, Vrabel and Rossini have denied that anything inappropriate happened. They said that they were
01:03:23.240 actually there with a group of people and it was all very professional and they're just friends.
01:03:27.200 and, you know, it's absurd for anyone to draw any other conclusions. So two points I want to
01:03:33.540 make about this. First of all, more of a minor point, and some people aren't going to like to
01:03:39.000 hear this, but this is why it is really just absurd to have attractive young females covering 0.75
01:03:45.140 professional male sports. Now, Rossini doesn't appear to be all that attractive, frankly, but
01:03:50.580 the principle still applies. And I don't mean that young females can't talk about sports or,
01:03:55.800 sort of cover it from afar or talk about it on a podcast or something if you're interested in
01:04:00.680 listening to that. I mean, in terms of being on the ground, being on the beat, heavily interacting
01:04:07.400 with these players, cultivating relationships, sources, that kind of thing, it's ridiculous.
01:04:14.560 We all know that affairs happen constantly in these kinds of situations. And it's like we're
01:04:18.820 supposed to just pretend that when you have these high testosterone young men and these attractive
01:04:25.720 young women and the women are allowed inside the locker room while the players are changing even
01:04:32.380 because it would be sexist not to allow them in that was a policy the nfl instated a long time 0.99
01:04:37.380 ago you know there has to be there has to be equal access to the male locker room for female
01:04:43.800 reporters somehow that's okay i mean we all say that we don't we don't want men intruding into
01:04:49.400 women's locker rooms but over here it actually happens in reverse all the time no one says
01:04:53.140 anything. But anyway, we're supposed to pretend that the sexual dynamics don't completely change
01:04:59.300 and define the relationship there, which is ridiculous. But that's what we're supposed to
01:05:04.620 do these days. We're supposed to pretend that biology isn't biology. Reality is not reality.
01:05:09.540 Human sexuality is not human sexuality, which means in this fantasy world, young women and
01:05:14.020 NFL players will have totally professional relationships with each other. No boundaries
01:05:19.440 will be crossed. And NFL players are expected to, and coaches, to respect these young women
01:05:26.560 like peers, like professionals, and talk about sports and not have any kind of sexual tension
01:05:32.600 enter the relationship. That's the idea. And it's completely ridiculous. It doesn't work.
01:05:38.340 It's not real. It just isn't. And that's why we keep hearing these stories about young female
01:05:45.460 reporters and, oh, I'm just like the guys. And then they get involved in these sex scandals 0.90
01:05:50.820 and things like that. But more to the point, now, I don't know if Rabel and Rossini are having
01:05:56.400 a physical, actual sexual affair. I suspect very much that they are because I'm not an idiot,
01:06:02.240 or at least I'm not a big enough idiot to believe their excuse. If I was a betting man, I'd put my
01:06:08.280 money on those two being involved with each other in exactly the way it appears they're involved.
01:06:13.580 Let's pretend for a moment that their excuses are true, which is possible.
01:06:20.220 It is possible that, in fact, the physical interaction between those two did not go beyond what was captured in the photos.
01:06:27.560 Possible. It's not especially likely, but it is possible.
01:06:31.580 I don't know either way.
01:06:33.100 Let's go with that for the sake of argument. 0.90
01:06:36.180 Okay, well, then this is why boundaries are important for married people. 0.97
01:06:42.800 Um, and the boundaries should be so strict, so absolute that you could never even reasonably
01:06:53.140 be suspected of having an affair. I mean, you shouldn't get close enough to the line
01:06:59.600 that you're ever in a situation that could be misconstrued in the first place. Like,
01:07:06.800 this is how radical I am on this. If you as a married person are ever in a situation
01:07:11.580 with another person who is not your spouse where a reasonable observer would think that you're
01:07:18.300 romantically involved, then you've already crossed the line. Just the very fact of someone saying,
01:07:25.460 oh, are you guys like together? That already means you're too close.
01:07:31.260 Even without the handholding and the hugging, which hopefully is obvious to everyone,
01:07:35.400 is totally inappropriate for married people. Even without that, if somebody from afar could
01:07:41.300 look at the dynamic between you and this other person and think, oh, they must be dating. They
01:07:45.740 must be married. Again, you've crossed the line. You've already gone too far. And that should be
01:07:51.360 obvious. Having any kind of intimate interaction with a member of the opposite sex when you're 1.00
01:07:58.860 married is cheating. I'll put it that way. Any form of intimacy at all, period, with a member 1.00
01:08:08.960 of the opposite sex when you're married is already cheating intimate conversation intimate hug 1.00
01:08:16.240 intimate anything you're already there or at least you're on the path like intimacy is what comes 0.95
01:08:23.900 first most of the time some form of intimacy and it usually doesn't it's not right away it's not
01:08:30.740 the first 10 seconds that you're jumping to bed together that's not how the affairs usually work
01:08:36.100 It starts with intimacy, and intimacy can be like we have an intimate conversation.
01:08:42.320 We have an intimate relationship that is not, at first, physical.
01:08:46.760 We're close friends, closeness, intimacy, that's what we're talking about. 1.00
01:08:51.500 You should not have that as a married person with a member of the opposite sex, period, at all. 1.00
01:08:58.540 You're at the very least on the way, you're on the path, and to be on the path is basically to be already there, right? 0.99
01:09:06.100 flirting as a married person, obviously cheating. If you're a married woman flirting with another 0.57
01:09:13.300 man, that you're already there. Same goes for men. Any form of intimacy, any form of personal 1.00
01:09:20.320 intimate connection with a person of the opposite sex who is not your spouse is cheating. Or it is 0.99
01:09:26.360 it puts you so directly on the path to cheating that it's essentially already is.
01:09:33.360 and you know if you're married so you say this and when i say this kind of thing i hear from
01:09:40.580 some people who are married who who to them it sounds almost absurd like it's almost it's
01:09:47.280 unworkable for that they can't imagine not having those kinds of intimate connections with members
01:09:53.320 of opposite sex even though they're married and if that's the case for you if these guidelines
01:09:58.540 sound too strict, then all that tells me is that you're a cheater. Like you have already cheated,
01:10:03.460 or you will, or you'll change your view. Like one of those three things are going to happen.
01:10:08.740 You've already cheated, or you will cheat, or you're going to change.
01:10:13.220 And probably you already have, right? Anytime we have this conversation, there are people that get
01:10:18.060 offended. The people who are married, but will feel really strongly that, no, I should still
01:10:26.500 be able to have intimate relationships with people who are not my spouse. Okay. You're a
01:10:30.400 cheater. Like you've already probably done it and you know it. Or you're going to. And you know
01:10:37.320 that you might. Like you're leaving the door open for it. And you know that you are. So getting mad
01:10:44.420 and yelling at me is not going to change that. Come on. It's just you and me talking now.
01:10:49.020 you know what you're doing you know what you're doing and there's nothing easier in the world 1.00
01:10:57.280 than simply not flirting with or being intimate with in any form members of the opposite sex as 1.00
01:11:03.340 a married person it's very easy to avoid it's actually really easy you should have no problem 0.94
01:11:12.820 if you do have a problem with it then again that shows you're too that's exactly the point
01:11:19.220 you know you're you're you have a connection with some other person that is too meaningful to you
01:11:25.540 you know your spouse if you're a married woman your your husband should be the most important
01:11:35.180 man in the world to you by a million miles. No one else should even get close in importance.
01:11:46.340 And so if you have to choose between your husband and an intimate quote unquote friendship with some
01:11:52.140 other guy, it shouldn't even be, it shouldn't even be difficult to make that choice.
01:11:58.120 and if you're in a job especially as a woman that tends to lend itself to this sort of interaction
01:12:06.920 close personal intimate interaction with members of the opposite sex
01:12:11.320 it tends to lend itself to or even require you would claim those kinds of relationships 0.99
01:12:17.520 then leave your job then you shouldn't have that job
01:12:20.300 that's why 1.00
01:12:25.880 that's what I was saying about women 1.00
01:12:28.280 female sports supporters going into locker rooms 1.00
01:12:30.480 a lot of these women are married 1.00
01:12:31.860 can you imagine you're married 1.00
01:12:34.400 and your wife is going into NFL locker rooms
01:12:36.900 and developing
01:12:38.600 friendships with NFL players
01:12:41.000 none of this is difficult
01:12:48.180 if it's difficult for you
01:12:50.820 If it's difficult for you, you don't love your spouse enough.
01:12:54.260 You're not serious enough about your vows.
01:12:56.860 That's it.
01:12:57.720 And you know that too.
01:12:58.620 So everything I'm saying, everyone already knows,
01:13:00.960 which is kind of the whole show.
01:13:04.840 Just saying a bunch of stuff everybody already knows,
01:13:06.660 and that's one of them.
01:13:07.620 We'll wrap it up there for today.
01:13:10.100 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:13:10.660 Have a great day.
01:13:12.260 Godspeed.
01:13:20.300 I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America,
01:13:25.740 their statutes should not be in the Capitol.
01:13:29.740 History is written by the victors, and since the 1960s we've been told,
01:13:32.700 mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war,
01:13:36.540 that the South committed treason.
01:13:39.100 But if the Confederates were traitors,
01:13:43.420 then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial for treason?
01:13:48.220 What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of?
01:13:51.720 Do they know something they're not allowed to say today?
01:13:55.720 It's time for the truth.
01:13:57.220 So here it is.
01:13:58.220 Robert E. Lee was a military genius and a man of immense honor.
01:14:01.220 He was beloved by Americans from the North and South for a century after the war.
01:14:06.220 This is the real history of the Civil War.
01:14:18.220 Thank you.
