00:00:42.340 To quote C.S. Lewis.

00:00:43.460 No, don't quote C.S.

00:00:44.580 Quote yourself.

00:00:45.620 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:00:46.720 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:00:47.540 The Earth is blank.

00:00:48.100 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:00:48.920 One time I read C.S. Lewis, and what he told me was.

00:00:51.240 No, I'm quoting me.

00:00:51.900 The human species is blank years old.

00:00:54.480 Roughly 10.

00:00:55.120 So you think, so yes is the answer.

00:00:57.920 No.

00:02:34.020 I don't remember that this ever happened.

00:02:35.600 Yeah.

00:02:35.980 Well, part of that, I think, is cheers.

00:02:38.240 Yeah.

00:02:38.820 Chin chin to your health. 0.95

00:02:40.000 Yep.

00:02:40.640 You remember the rules?

00:02:42.000 I don't.

00:02:42.720 That makes two of us.

00:02:44.600 But I am supposed to wait to drink until something happens?

00:02:46.880 Yes.

00:02:47.480 If you get it right, then you get to drink.

00:02:52.480 And if you get it wrong, you have to drink.

00:02:56.060 Got it.

00:02:56.620 Okay.

00:02:57.000 I will go first.

00:03:01.300 Most lesbians can't do three push-ups and should not serve in combat roles. 1.00

00:03:09.060 Wait.

00:03:11.460 I'm guessing whether you think that's correct.

00:03:13.600 Yes.

00:03:14.280 And then you'll move my glass based on what you think my answer would be.

00:03:18.000 So.

00:03:18.700 Most lesbians can't do three push-ups and should not serve in combat roles. 1.00

00:03:25.740 I think that's obviously a yes.

00:03:31.220 It's the and that's getting it.

00:03:33.660 It's it.

00:03:35.260 All right.

00:03:35.800 Well, you said it's obviously a yes.

00:03:36.960 So I agree that that's your answer.

00:03:38.700 I just it's an ant.

00:03:40.240 I think probably most lesbians could do three push-ups. 1.00

00:03:44.020 They shouldn't serve in combat roles.

00:03:46.280 But do you think most women can do three push-ups? 1.00

00:03:48.160 I don't know, but I bet that lesbians outperform women generally. 1.00

00:03:54.420 What is it about being a lesbian that would view you with upper body strength? 1.00

00:03:59.220 They're really, they're really.

00:04:00.300 Yeah, I guess.

00:04:00.980 I mean, here's.

00:04:02.140 Well, if that's correct, I would say maybe women on average can do no push-ups. 1.00

00:04:07.400 Yeah.

00:04:07.820 And lesbians on average can do like one and a half. 1.00

00:04:09.820 Okay, but it's not three.

00:04:11.440 And we're basically taking the lipstick lesbians out of this also because they don't exist. 1.00

00:04:16.300 Right.

00:04:16.680 Yeah.

00:04:17.280 But are we talking about lesbians in combat roles or women in general? 0.92

00:04:20.660 I think lesbians. 1.00

00:04:22.520 Does that change your answer?

00:04:23.920 Because I'm opposed to women in combat. 1.00

00:04:25.460 Right.

00:04:25.860 Are you saying we can make an exception for lesbians? 1.00

00:04:28.060 No, no.

00:04:28.520 I think, I think, yeah, I don't know why we focus this on lesbians. 1.00

00:04:31.460 Yeah.

00:04:32.240 Yeah.

00:04:32.560 Why is Mr. Davies so focused on lesbians?

00:04:35.140 It's a really good question.

00:04:36.480 All right.

00:04:37.180 You're up.

00:04:37.660 Oh, okay.

00:04:38.300 Matt Walsh takes more vacation days than Joe Biden.

00:04:49.340 It's, it's unfair that you get so many vacation days.

00:04:54.080 It's, it's, well, first of all, because no, like if I take two vacation days in a whole year,

00:05:00.240 then I take more vacation than any, like you don't, you don't go on vacation.

00:05:04.180 I basically don't go on vacation.

00:05:05.920 Do you know why?

00:05:06.800 I'm going to tell you why.

00:05:07.400 Maybe this is a, a neurosis of mine.

00:05:11.080 I have this fear that if I miss even one minute of my show, people, they're going to say, wait,

00:05:17.260 I don't need to listen to that.

00:05:18.340 Why do I need to listen to that guy?

00:05:19.520 And they'll never listen to me again.

00:05:20.740 But here's the point.

00:05:21.240 The audience already knows that.

00:05:22.600 Like they know they don't need us.

00:05:23.900 So you think that we're, they're pulling this over on them, but they already are aware of it.

00:05:28.120 So you might as well just go on vacation, enjoy yourself.

00:05:29.980 And I didn't.

00:05:30.780 Yeah, I think it was an obvious answer.

00:05:34.080 I'm saying this about myself.

00:05:36.200 No, I'm saying, what do you think?

00:05:37.300 You're saying what I think.

00:05:38.140 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:05:38.580 But I, now I said that you would agree because you're a reasonable man.

00:05:42.560 You know, you say no.

00:05:43.940 Yeah, no, I say no.

00:05:44.900 Wow.

00:05:45.960 Now I have to agree.

00:05:47.020 I take like one vacation a year.

00:05:49.480 You take at most one vacation a day.

00:05:51.720 At most, at most.

00:05:53.120 And most weeks, it's only two vacations a week.

00:05:55.640 And I get killed.

00:05:56.340 The audience kills me over it.

00:05:57.400 Yeah.

00:05:58.020 Like I'm not allowed to leave.

00:05:58.900 Where do you go?

00:05:59.500 Well, places, I don't know.

00:06:02.500 You know, sometimes the family disagrees and they think like it's nice to see everyone

00:06:07.140 so well.

00:06:08.560 I guess that's the difference because I say to Elisa, I'll say, hey girl, you want to,

00:06:12.760 you know, I think today, I think this year I'm going to take a few days vacation.

00:06:15.440 Mac, you got to work.

00:06:17.520 You got to work, Mac.

00:06:18.960 I see you too much.

00:06:20.700 I'll say, well, I'll just see you like an hour a day.

00:06:23.080 That's enough, Mac.

00:06:24.520 Go on, get.

00:06:25.560 Get.

00:06:26.180 That's what I, that's what I get.

00:06:27.060 That's the life.

00:06:27.720 That's the life.

00:06:28.360 I don't, I do not take more vacation days with Joe Biden.

00:06:31.480 Yeah.

00:06:31.840 Okay.

00:06:32.320 Take at least one less day.

00:06:34.220 One less minute.

00:06:35.440 Yeah.

00:06:36.720 Worrying about ozone depletion and acid rain is basic liberal white girl behavior. 1.00

00:06:43.780 The hysteria is basically just a scheme to get grant money from the government.

00:06:48.120 See, here's the, the issue is there are two claims being made here.

00:06:55.540 Wait, do you explain your thoughts on it before I move?

00:06:58.280 No, you're right.

00:06:58.640 Okay, let's move. 0.60

00:06:59.160 Let's move.

00:07:00.120 I just don't know.

00:07:00.820 I don't even know.

00:07:01.280 I don't even know my own thoughts.

00:07:04.440 Okay.

00:07:05.340 I'm going to say yes.

00:07:07.140 I mean, obviously, why, why was that?

00:07:08.800 Why is that something to think about?

00:07:10.340 I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to say no, actually, because yes, it's basic white 1.00

00:07:13.340 girl behavior, obviously.

00:07:14.520 Yeah.

00:07:15.040 I don't think it's just about getting grants from the government.

00:07:18.340 I think the, the more Marxist analysis of all these programs is that it's all just about

00:07:23.960 the money.

00:07:24.960 But I don't think it's just about the money.

00:07:26.060 I think it's about controlling us.

00:07:27.720 I think it's about deadening our spirits.

00:07:30.240 Yeah.

00:07:30.380 I think it's about taking away our.

00:07:32.620 But controlling us as part of, I don't remember.

00:07:36.000 Oh, grant money from the government.

00:07:37.480 Yeah.

00:07:38.280 Yeah.

00:07:38.740 All right.

00:07:39.160 So do I get a point?

00:07:40.640 Well, I'm changing.

00:07:41.120 Can I change my answer?

00:07:41.980 I'm changing mine.

00:07:42.500 Wait, you can't change your answer.

00:07:43.620 No, I, because I, I didn't, the just, I didn't realize the just, I didn't hear the

00:07:47.180 just part.

00:07:47.800 All right.

00:07:48.160 Judges, judges, does this man get to cheat like this and change his answer?

00:07:52.120 The just changes everything.

00:07:53.360 I didn't hear.

00:07:53.840 Can I get an official ruling, please?

00:07:56.240 He can change it.

00:07:57.140 Whose side are you on?

00:07:58.900 It's outrageous.

00:07:59.040 It's outrageous.

00:07:59.400 It's outrageous.

00:08:01.360 Okay.

00:08:01.760 Okay.

00:08:02.080 I'm going to drink anyway.

00:08:03.700 All right.

00:08:06.060 Condoms are at least kind of gay.

00:08:12.500 But they added in the at least there.

00:08:14.440 So I don't even know, how does that impact?

00:08:17.520 So they could be super gay. 0.93

00:08:19.660 Or at least.

00:08:20.000 But they're at least kind of gay. 0.71

00:08:22.020 Why do you need at least if kinda is already there is my question.

00:08:24.900 Yeah.

00:08:25.420 Is it, there could be a just and a basically, there's a lot of weaselly modifiers.

00:08:30.300 Condoms are at least just basically kind of gay.

00:08:32.440 Kind of super gay. 0.97

00:08:33.240 Well, you've already, I think you're, Media Matters has documented your opinion on this.

00:08:39.380 I'm not joking.

00:08:40.620 I retweeted the Media Matters clip of me saying that like 25 minutes ago before I came to the studio.

00:08:49.980 The writers of this would not have even seen that because thanks birth control.

00:08:55.360 Yeah, I saw that.

00:08:55.900 Did you see that?

00:08:56.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:56.940 But it is gay. 0.73

00:08:58.280 There's nothing, if a conservative is going, anyone who has a traditional sexual ethic is going to disagree with the sexual revolution and the LGBT element of the,

00:09:09.460 then I think he's gotta be consistent.

00:09:12.240 Because what's wrong with the LGBT, one of the main things that's wrong with the LGBT stuff is that it's a sterile sexual ethic. 1.00

00:09:20.860 But so is birth control.

00:09:23.780 So it's, it's at least kind of gay, right? 0.95

00:09:26.840 Yeah.

00:09:28.200 You've got, what now, 17 kids?

00:09:30.120 Yeah, well, that's why I think that my, with six kids, my opinion on that's probably pretty well established.

00:09:35.680 Although we are doing two at a time, so.

00:09:37.260 It's true.

00:09:38.140 That's kind of cheating.

00:09:39.540 Yeah.

00:09:39.640 But you are, you are not kind of gay.

00:09:42.740 You are.

00:09:42.980 Well, I appreciate that.

00:09:43.540 You are not.

00:09:44.140 The numbers there, if you had only had like four or four and a half, I would say, well, jury's out.

00:09:48.800 But, six?

00:09:50.700 You got catching up to do.

00:09:51.760 I got some catching up to do.

00:09:52.900 I got some proven to do.

00:09:54.020 And already in my intro on my show, I'm dancing in loafers.

00:09:57.140 So I might need eight actually to prove it.

00:09:58.860 That's a whole other conversation.

00:09:59.760 Yeah.

00:10:00.100 Maybe, maybe later in the cards.

00:10:01.620 Dancing on the desk.

00:10:02.920 Yeah.

00:10:03.900 Do you know why?

00:10:04.380 What was the thought process there?

00:10:05.460 So, first of all, I didn't write that part.

00:10:07.500 That was some of our eccentricities.

00:10:08.540 Michael Knowles' intro is at least kind of gay.

00:10:10.480 It's at least kind of.

00:10:11.640 But then I kind of liked it.

00:10:13.380 Because, here my thought was, media matters.

00:10:15.500 It's kind of gay, but I kind of like it.

00:10:16.480 But I kind of liked it because I'm pretty and witty.

00:10:19.020 And the media matters.

00:10:20.040 They're always trying to say, Knowles is a homophobe.

00:10:23.260 He's going to like throw gay guys off rooftops like the Taliban or whatever. 0.90

00:10:26.700 And I thought a great way to counteract that is in the show, I can have my really traditional rhetoric, right?

00:10:33.220 And I have the gayest intro. 0.60

00:10:34.380 But if I have the gayest intro of not just any conservative talk show, of any show. 0.72

00:10:39.820 Yeah.

00:10:40.220 Including Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

00:10:41.480 If I have that, it's going to balance out and kind of trick them.

00:10:44.420 That's my theory.

00:10:45.740 How does the audience feel about the intro?

00:10:48.380 They're so torn on it.

00:10:50.460 Some, the ones who really get it, the sort of Straussian esoteric viewers, they get a kick out of it.

00:10:55.900 But I would say your average kind of conservative guy looks at that and he says, Michael, you look like a fanook.

00:11:02.740 And I can't dispute that.

00:11:03.980 That's Italian for fennel, I think, actually.

00:11:07.620 But the meaning is you're a little, you know, a friend of Dorothy.

00:11:12.840 It has a Wes Anderson vibe to it.

00:11:14.040 Yes, it does.

00:11:15.020 I don't mean that as a compliment.

00:11:15.860 No, Wes Anderson is at least kind of gay.

00:11:19.700 Letting your wife drive is the most egregious form of vehicular cuckold. 1.00

00:11:25.540 I hadn't heard that yet.

00:11:28.700 I'm going to say.

00:11:29.580 It is, yes, I, sir.

00:11:35.180 I mean, it becomes more of a dispute if it's like the most egregious form of cuckoldry.

00:11:40.140 Yeah.

00:11:40.660 No, that would be when the mailman enters your house.

00:11:43.680 There's a lot of egregious.

00:11:44.620 Yeah.

00:11:45.160 But vehicular, like what other, you know, how many times, how many ways can you cuckold yourself in a car?

00:11:51.400 Right.

00:11:52.020 Especially a moving car.

00:11:52.940 I guess if the mailman is asking for a ride.

00:11:56.400 Yeah.

00:11:56.520 But I thought, before I finished reading the question, I thought I was going to say it's the most egregious form of vehicular risk-taking or danger or recklessness.

00:12:09.180 True.

00:12:09.300 In which case, I would say it's not the most dangerous.

00:12:12.620 If you went out and you had 10 shots of vodka, smoked a couple crack pipes, and got behind the wheel of a car, that would at least be on par.

00:12:22.160 I hold my crack pipes pretty well.

00:12:23.920 You do, yeah.

00:12:24.420 I was one time driving around with a Daily Wire host in the middle of Texas, and his wife, I'm not going to say, but his wife drove, because we had had a few Coca-Colas.

00:12:36.160 And this Daily Wire host, I'm not going to say who, he said, okay, I think that it's less dangerous for my wife sober to drive than it is for me drunk to drive.

00:12:49.040 But the jury's out.

00:12:50.620 Which host was that?

00:12:51.700 So it's a mail?

00:12:52.720 It's a mail.

00:12:53.200 I'm not going to say who.

00:12:54.420 We probably weren't driving around with Ben, so.

00:12:56.380 No.

00:12:56.860 I wouldn't.

00:12:57.780 And Ben, he doesn't drink a lot.

00:12:59.300 Rum-a-Rita every day.

00:13:00.020 Yeah, true.

00:13:00.580 You know, I, yeah, I think it's, well, here's the thing.

00:13:05.820 I think it's shameful to allow your wife to drive. 1.00

00:13:08.040 I will admit that on, we do a lot of driving in my family.

00:13:13.140 We drive like 18 hours.

00:13:14.660 So, in our most recent 18-hour trip, I did surrender the wheel for, I'd say, two of the 18 hours.

00:13:23.400 It's still 16 of 18 hours.

00:13:24.980 Were you sleeping during that, or you were just kind of hanging out?

00:13:28.120 Well, I wanted to sleep, but then I couldn't, because I was so terrified she was going to kill us.

00:13:31.300 So I stayed.

00:13:32.240 But then, and this is true, like, two of 16 hours is all, and we happened to pull into a rest stop, and some, you know, I got recognized sitting in the freaking car.

00:13:45.740 Like, a fan pulled up right next to us and parked.

00:13:48.380 You're most recognizable in a car.

00:13:50.740 That is kind of your home setting.

00:13:53.600 As soon as we pulled in, and I'm in the passenger seat, I actually thought to myself, like, this would be really embarrassing if someone knows me.

00:13:59.000 And right in that moment, seriously, someone pulled in, parked, got out of their car, like, hey, it's Matt Walsh, sitting in the passenger seat.

00:14:06.080 How did you live that down?

00:14:08.300 I didn't.

00:14:08.800 You didn't.

00:14:09.480 That's not possible.

00:14:10.820 I'll do it.

00:14:11.560 You're on.

00:14:11.860 Fractured memories can be passed through your DNA.

00:14:22.280 I'm going to.

00:14:23.440 I don't even know what that means.

00:14:25.460 Yeah.

00:14:26.440 I don't really know either.

00:14:28.280 Fractured memories.

00:14:29.800 It sounds like bullshit.

00:14:31.800 But it sounds.

00:14:33.740 Is that like, is it just like racism?

00:14:36.120 Is it just like you inherit the, you know, oppression?

00:14:41.180 It's like, no, it's your memories.

00:14:42.420 So you have memories of your past, of your descendants.

00:14:46.980 I'm going to have to say no.

00:14:48.200 I don't even know where that comes from.

00:14:49.620 Why would that, why was this, why was that in there?

00:14:51.120 Who wrote that?

00:14:51.820 I don't know.

00:14:52.900 Fractured memories.

00:14:53.720 Like, epigenetics is real.

00:14:56.040 That's not memories.

00:14:57.120 That's not a memory.

00:14:58.160 This is like you're sleeping and you have a flashback to getting chased by a saber-toothed tiger or something.

00:15:03.560 I think is what it means.

00:15:04.840 Wow.

00:15:05.280 I don't have many of those flashbacks.

00:15:06.980 Yeah.

00:15:07.760 Very rarely.

00:15:08.600 Yeah.

00:15:08.840 I mean, a little bit.

00:15:09.940 A few acid drips in India, occasional, but not, not the saber-toothed tigers.

00:15:16.360 Correct, Mike.

00:15:16.660 Okay.

00:15:17.740 Okay.

00:15:18.580 Come on.

00:15:20.320 Life, well, speaking of, life as we know it started about 8,000 years ago and all the 24 0.90

00:15:28.360 billion years old nonsense is just a bunch of lies cooked up by atheists, liberals, and 0.98

00:15:33.620 other assorted hippies.

00:15:35.040 That's interesting.

00:15:43.100 I'm glad that one's in there because I actually don't know if you're one of these young earths.

00:15:49.140 I don't know if you're in the Ken Ham camp or not.

00:15:52.420 I'm more of a Ken Prosciutto kind of guy.

00:15:54.320 True.

00:15:54.640 True.

00:15:54.700 I'm going to say yes.

00:15:59.740 I'm going to say that you are.

00:16:01.300 I have a tough answer on this.

00:16:03.280 Of course you do.

00:16:04.020 But to get the point, at least, I'm going to say no.

00:16:08.040 But here's my view, which really could fall into either category.

00:16:11.180 I do not have any strong theological, not a strong theological need or anthropological

00:16:21.660 or historical need to say that the earth is 8,000 years old.

00:16:24.020 Okay.

00:16:24.380 Let me just clarify one thing.

00:16:25.820 I thought, I didn't think that you had a theological reason to say that the earth is 8,000 years

00:16:31.240 old.

00:16:31.840 I figured it was contrarian.

00:16:33.000 Purely contrarian.

00:16:33.640 I thought that's what would lead you there.

00:16:35.340 No, it, I guess this is my issue.

00:16:38.440 I like, the contrarian part is nice too.

00:16:39.800 But the issue is, one, the 24 billion years stuff, they change that number all the time.

00:16:45.160 And they'll say the universe is actually half as old as they said it was or twice as old

00:16:48.400 or whatever.

00:16:48.820 So they don't really know.

00:16:50.220 But I don't need the first chapters of Genesis to be read literally.

00:16:56.360 In fact, I think it's a bit odd to read them literally.

00:16:59.180 But if I am convinced that the description of the evolution of mankind as given in the book

00:17:09.160 of Genesis is more accurate than whatever gobbledygook you are in.

00:17:14.400 Okay.

00:17:14.420 So do you think the earth, you don't need the earth to be very young, but do you think that

00:17:18.320 it is?

00:17:18.560 That was the question.

00:17:19.660 I don't think the earth is very young.

00:17:23.720 If, if mankind, I don't know how old mankind is.

00:17:27.820 I'm not convinced by any of the numbers that are thrown around.

00:17:32.180 And I, what I am convinced of is that the view of human history as being six or 10,000

00:17:40.040 years is a, a more, uh, insightful view than whatever it's like 200,000 years.

00:17:48.340 And we used to be like cavemen beating each other on the heads or whatever.

00:17:50.740 So I do, but I do, so you don't think that, that humanity is 10,000 years old, but you

00:17:56.240 think that view is more insightful.

00:17:58.120 No, I'm saying that it is 10,000 years old is more insightful than it.

00:18:01.280 But you don't think that it is, but you don't think that it is, or you do.

00:18:06.680 To quote C.S. Lewis.

00:18:07.880 No, don't quote it.

00:18:09.100 What?

00:18:09.380 Quote yourself.

00:18:10.160 Okay.

00:18:10.500 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:18:11.260 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:18:12.080 The earth is.

00:18:12.660 To quote Michael Knowles.

00:18:13.480 One time I read C.S. Lewis and what he told me.

00:18:15.780 No, I'm quoting me.

00:18:16.460 The earth is blank years old.

00:18:18.300 The earth.

00:18:18.840 Oh, I don't know.

00:18:19.280 The earth can be a bazillion years old.

00:18:20.540 I don't care about that.

00:18:21.100 The human species is blank years old.

00:18:23.140 The human species.

00:18:25.060 Fill in the blank.

00:18:25.720 For all intents and purposes.

00:18:27.380 No, no.

00:18:27.800 I'm just saying.

00:18:28.120 Yes, no.

00:18:28.780 What do you mean for all intents and purposes?

00:18:29.960 Well, because.

00:18:31.100 It's however old it is.

00:18:32.780 If some kind of evolution took place, whether that is punctuated equilibrium, whether that

00:18:39.880 is a kind of minor type of evolution, if some kind of evolution, if there were some

00:18:43.500 breeding between a group that we now call.

00:18:45.320 That wasn't even the question.

00:18:46.520 I want to say.

00:18:47.180 Well, but the reason what matters is this.

00:18:50.060 To quote C.S. Lewis.

00:18:51.260 If there was some kind of ape-like, human-like creature.

00:18:54.980 Life as we know it.

00:18:56.200 That's not even human life.

00:18:58.340 Life as we, meaning like mitochondrial, you know.

00:19:01.020 Just existence.

00:19:01.840 Like everything around you.

00:19:03.560 Well, everything around me is rather young.

00:19:07.660 If you're saying like rocks and stuff, I don't know.

00:19:10.160 Everything around you isn't very young.

00:19:11.240 The ground.

00:19:12.460 Yeah, the ground is.

00:19:13.380 It's old.

00:19:13.920 You don't have to dig that right.

00:19:15.120 Yeah, the ground is old.

00:19:16.500 But life as we know it, meaning human beings.

00:19:20.960 Yes.

00:19:22.600 How old do you think the human species is?

00:19:24.640 Not counting like, you know, cavemen or Nephilim or anything.

00:19:29.580 Just human.

00:19:32.460 I think anything we would describe as human.

00:19:37.740 Roughly 10.

00:19:39.160 So you think, so yes is the answer.

00:19:41.420 No.

00:19:41.840 No.

00:19:42.420 I would say no.

00:19:43.520 We went all around this circle.

00:19:45.280 For the purposes of my point.

00:19:46.680 No.

00:19:47.060 Because, listen, I don't deny.

00:19:49.320 It took you 24 billion years to answer the question.

00:19:51.220 We got back to, yes.

00:19:53.540 There's something like, there's probably something like a Neanderthal.

00:19:57.580 In fact, if you look at the mixtures of DNA, Sub-Saharan Africans don't have any Neanderthal in them.

00:20:05.400 People who come not from Sub-Saharan Africa do have Neanderthal. 0.94

00:20:08.760 There are different breakdowns in like Aboriginal Australians and all this kind of stuff.

00:20:11.880 So, like there were weird, like vaguely gorilla-like creatures who were bordering on humans, I think.

00:20:19.820 Neanderthals, some have said buried their dead.

00:20:22.580 What does that mean?

00:20:23.200 I don't know what any of that means.

00:20:24.520 I don't know what all of this is about.

00:20:26.440 But if you're asking me about something that we would call...

00:20:29.420 I'm not asking you anything.

00:20:30.160 I'm asking you about the card.

00:20:31.060 You ask yourself.

00:20:31.680 Well, look, the card is very ambiguous.

00:20:33.480 It's not ambiguous at all, really.

00:20:34.940 Life as we know it?

00:20:36.180 Life.

00:20:36.660 What is life as we know it?

00:20:38.140 Are you a lib now?

00:20:39.340 You don't know what life means?

00:20:39.920 I'm saying, are we talking about a prokaryotic cell or are we talking about a eukaryotic cell?

00:20:44.560 Are we talking about...

00:20:45.720 Light.

00:20:46.800 Are we talking about a virus?

00:20:48.400 That's not even life in Congress.

00:20:49.900 Then whatever you consider life to be.

00:20:52.180 Well, now we're getting real hippie, man.

00:20:54.460 Whatever.

00:20:55.120 It's like, man, your life is...

00:20:57.040 You know.

00:20:57.620 Okay.

00:20:57.960 So your answer is yes.

00:20:58.840 My answer, judges, in my beautifully articulate description of reconciling the literal and

00:21:07.300 figurative, where do you rule?

00:21:09.940 Did I say no or yes?

00:21:13.100 I said, no, that's because Davies is like a young Earth guy.

00:21:15.660 I can't even hear.

00:21:16.140 But Davies said that because he thinks the Earth is like three days old.

00:21:19.320 He goes even further.

00:21:20.400 You know, he doesn't believe in the 1950s.

00:21:22.540 So as far as the Earth itself or really the universe, to me, I'm the last guy to say trust

00:21:31.920 the science because we know where that leads.

00:21:33.620 This is all fake.

00:21:34.640 Right.

00:21:34.820 However, there are some inescapable physical realities.

00:21:41.100 So for example, there's like the distant, what the young Earth creationists would call

00:21:45.400 the distant starlight problem.

00:21:47.880 That's a problem.

00:21:48.560 I mean, it's not a problem.

00:21:49.200 But when you're looking up at the sky and you can see a star that's a million light years

00:21:55.000 away, that means that like, that's proof right there that the Earth has been around, or rather

00:21:58.820 the universe has been around for at least a million years.

00:22:00.360 And this is not a problem for Catholics, in part because the theorizer of the Big Bang

00:22:05.880 was not only a Catholic, but a Catholic priest, Father George Lemaître.

00:22:09.220 So that doesn't bother me whatsoever.

00:22:12.640 Though they do kind of change the numbers on how old things are and, you know, they're kind

00:22:16.300 of interesting.

00:22:16.800 It's not going to be exact.

00:22:17.600 But I think we know the universe is very, very old.

00:22:20.220 But I guess where the rubber really meets the road for me is not, it's not even the

00:22:26.220 age of the human race, which it can be whatever.

00:22:29.480 Do we descend from common ancestors, Adam and Eve?

00:22:33.780 That's where the rubber meets the road for you, where I think yes.

00:22:37.560 Well, right.

00:22:39.060 But I think you also touched on it, that as Catholics, the great thing is that none of 1.00

00:22:44.120 this is like a problem.

00:22:45.500 The monogenism is, though.

00:22:47.720 Pius XII said that we have to believe in a common ancestor.

00:22:51.140 Yeah.

00:22:51.740 So are you?

00:22:52.880 Yeah.

00:22:53.120 You're not being, okay.

00:22:53.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:54.120 I don't know if you were, if you became a Protestant on this episode, that would be big 0.99

00:22:56.880 ratings.

00:22:57.760 Well, the Protestants, but young earth creationists is mostly Protestant.

00:23:02.460 Aliens are just a cooked up narrative by modernists trying to cover up the metaphysical

00:23:06.100 reality of angels and beings.

00:23:08.340 They're not challenging us too much on this one.

00:23:10.220 And you're going to say, I'm just trying to see if you've come to your senses yet.

00:23:17.780 I'm going to drink it either way.

00:23:19.260 I'll just take it.

00:23:20.360 The alien question is related to the previous question.

00:23:24.120 I don't think it is.

00:23:25.660 Why is it related?

00:23:27.040 Are they saved?

00:23:30.320 Well, I don't know what their salvation history is.

00:23:32.900 Is there a fourth person of the Trinity?

00:23:35.040 No.

00:23:35.320 Who's like a Martian?

00:23:36.160 No.

00:23:36.500 No.

00:23:37.000 No.

00:23:37.300 So.

00:23:38.520 But you were just quoting C.S. Lewis a second ago.

00:23:40.720 See, we know C.S. Lewis.

00:23:41.640 Yeah, I know.

00:23:41.700 That's what gets me into trouble.

00:23:42.960 I know.

00:23:43.560 So, you know, we don't know.

00:23:45.000 I can't, that's a question I can't answer, but just because I can't answer the question

00:23:48.760 doesn't mean that, like, just because it's incomprehensible for me, like, what would the

00:23:52.780 salvation history be of an intelligent person?

00:23:54.800 Would they even be fallen?

00:23:56.440 Yeah.

00:23:56.640 Would they even be?

00:23:57.180 I think it's, I think at a minimum, it would seem to me that any rational species in the

00:24:03.840 universe would have had the same opportunity to make a choice as we did.

00:24:08.640 Hmm.

00:24:09.180 And if it's a real choice, then you could have unfallen species.

00:24:12.280 Yeah.

00:24:12.620 I don't see why.

00:24:12.960 Although, I don't, even onto that, like, a little baby doesn't have the choice.

00:24:17.600 I mean, a little baby's born into original sin.

00:24:19.580 So, is it the case, like Milton describes in Paradise Lost?

00:24:22.020 Yeah, but the actual original sin comes from the human beings.

00:24:26.160 Right.

00:24:26.460 But it pervades all of creation.

00:24:28.160 You know, like, it pervades the deer and the trees and the whole thing, right?

00:24:31.320 Sin and death pervade the whole cosmos.

00:24:32.560 But I think it's clear that Scripture is talking about, Scripture has no interest in the universe.

00:24:38.940 There's very little.

00:24:39.820 The cosmos?

00:24:41.180 There's very little about it.

00:24:42.420 And what is said is, like, if you take it literally, you come to some incorrect conclusions

00:24:46.280 about the nature of the cosmos, which tells me that it's just not, the Bible's not trying

00:24:51.340 to tell us anything about the rest of the universe one way or another, probably because

00:24:54.700 it's not something we need to know.

00:24:57.720 Look, this is what Cardinal Barone, he said, the Bible tells us how to go to heaven, not

00:25:01.900 how the heavens go.

00:25:03.740 It's a little bit lib, because it was kind of like for pro-Galileo, which is a whole other

00:25:07.820 mess.

00:25:10.040 But I do know how the heavens go.

00:25:11.060 And they go with E.T.

00:25:14.100 In general, dating sites are for guys who don't have the gulions to talk to a woman 0.99

00:25:19.120 in person.

00:25:20.980 He wrote a nastier word there, but I put it in Italian.

00:25:24.000 What did he write?

00:25:25.860 That's a word for cojones. 0.99

00:25:27.920 Coglion.

00:25:28.960 Gulions.

00:25:29.360 But what, did he write balls?

00:25:30.380 You know, he wrote.

00:25:31.820 Why is balls nastier than what you said?

00:25:34.340 Because no one speaks Italian.

00:25:35.620 Balls is like a one-syllable word.

00:25:36.900 I think it's a fine word.

00:25:37.920 Yeah, but Italian is so beautiful.

00:25:39.920 You know, that sounds almost romantic.

00:25:41.660 Hey, carissima. 1.00

00:25:43.240 Boy, be there, i cojones.

00:25:44.940 So you think Italian balls are beautiful?

00:25:47.000 That's almost a direct translation.

00:25:49.960 I don't even remember the question.

00:25:51.300 We were talking about gulions so much. 1.00

00:25:53.040 There's for guys who, ah, ah.

00:25:55.840 I'm going to say you said no to this, right?

00:25:57.420 Yeah.

00:25:57.600 That's correct.

00:25:59.140 I'm correct?

00:25:59.920 No, you're correct about my guess.

00:26:02.880 You're trying to intuit the answer by, like, staring at me?

00:26:04.920 Yeah.

00:26:06.760 Yeah, no, that's correct.

00:26:08.060 Okay.

00:26:08.280 So I don't think, look, I think dating's, what's that?

00:26:13.620 It's 2023.

00:26:14.860 Dating sites are, can be a really useful tool.

00:26:19.020 I mean, first of all, I try not to, I cannot imagine being in the modern dating scene.

00:26:24.020 It just must be a nightmare.

00:26:25.440 Like, I thank God every day I'm not in it.

00:26:26.860 So I don't want to sit here as a happily married man and say, well, you shouldn't be using that tool.

00:26:33.040 Yeah.

00:26:33.240 Um, and probably if you want to meet someone these days, like, there's, it's just, it's, it's probably one of the only ways to do it.

00:26:39.580 Yeah.

00:26:40.020 And going up and talking to someone randomly is rife with difficulty.

00:26:45.160 Right.

00:26:45.540 And it was especially today.

00:26:47.160 I, I, back in my single days, briefly, they were, you know what?

00:26:51.060 I like women. 1.00

00:26:51.740 I liked chatting women up and asking them out. 0.50

00:26:55.220 That's not a, I don't find that to be, I find that kind of fun.

00:26:58.740 But today we're in the me too culture.

00:27:03.080 Yeah.

00:27:03.240 So you go up to a woman and you say, hi, you know, I like your dress.

00:27:06.020 She like bear sprays you, you know, and has you arrested or something. 1.00

00:27:10.020 You can't do that.

00:27:11.120 Yeah.

00:27:11.920 I mean, the dating, you know, and not all sites are made the same.

00:27:15.020 So.

00:27:15.340 Yeah.

00:27:16.440 The hookup apps are one thing.

00:27:17.760 I think they still have like eHarmony.

00:27:19.920 Oh yeah.

00:27:20.840 My parents met on Grindr.

00:27:22.100 I don't, you know.

00:27:22.760 Do they?

00:27:23.260 Yeah.

00:27:24.120 Classic.

00:27:24.680 Classic love story.

00:27:25.340 Classic, you know, tale as old as time.

00:27:28.900 I have friends who are black or my producer is black should be accepted as an argument

00:27:33.660 against accusations of racism.

00:27:36.380 I've been saying that about Davies for years.

00:27:42.860 Wrong.

00:27:44.160 Wrong, bucko.

00:27:45.340 I'm going to challenge my inner, inner Jordan Peterson there.

00:27:48.260 I think it's a totally acceptable.

00:27:51.040 Yeah.

00:27:51.640 Excuse.

00:27:52.340 I agree.

00:27:52.960 Well, here's my, my only caveat is I don't think that you should be offering like these

00:27:57.020 desperate defenses.

00:27:58.640 I'm not racist.

00:27:59.220 Cause however, like when it comes to actual defenses, I've always thought like having a

00:28:05.140 black friend is like, yeah, that's, you're probably not racist if you have a black friend.

00:28:08.060 How is that not?

00:28:09.020 Everyone's a, well, that's a classic.

00:28:10.360 That's a classic thing.

00:28:11.060 Racist.

00:28:11.360 It's like, if you actually have a friend who is of that race, it's a pretty good indication 1.00

00:28:15.240 you don't hate people of that race.

00:28:16.640 By the way, most of the white libs don't have black friends. 0.60

00:28:19.360 Some of them do.

00:28:19.880 I'm not saying none of them have black friends, but a lot of them live in the most lily white 1.00

00:28:23.420 neighborhoods that exist.

00:28:25.640 And then they attack those of us who have black friends or black producers.

00:28:30.180 Yeah.

00:28:30.520 I mean, if you have a black producer, you can't be racist.

00:28:33.120 It's not possible.

00:28:34.340 I know.

00:28:34.660 If I was actually racist, I would have went to the Daily Wire years ago and said, I can't

00:28:38.620 work with this person because I'm racist.

00:28:41.340 I would have said that, but I've never said that.

00:28:42.580 I actually have said many times, please fire Ben Davies and get me a black producer. 1.00

00:28:48.480 That's how anti-racist you are.

00:28:50.220 That is.

00:28:50.820 I know.

00:28:51.240 Or a white producer.

00:28:52.480 We're just anybody.

00:28:53.300 Anyone that's not.

00:28:53.700 Other than Ben Davies.

00:28:54.920 Yeah.

00:28:57.120 The recent decline in church attendance is actually more concerning when accounting for the number

00:29:02.320 of FBI agents in the congregation.

00:29:04.660 I hadn't thought about that, actually.

00:29:11.820 You got it right.

00:29:13.060 Yeah.

00:29:14.060 That is.

00:29:14.820 I mean, it's concerning in general.

00:29:16.000 I guess when you add in that, I hadn't thought about it either.

00:29:17.860 Yeah.

00:29:18.300 Especially you consider if you go to a more traditional church service.

00:29:22.020 Yeah.

00:29:22.200 Certainly the Latin mass. 0.97

00:29:24.460 That's got to be like two thirds feds at this point.

00:29:26.620 True.

00:29:27.060 And it is, it's a big, it's like, you know, there's reason to think that the church, like,

00:29:33.940 what does it look like in 20 years?

00:29:35.680 Are there, how many churches are still left?

00:29:37.840 Right.

00:29:38.260 In Germany, none.

00:29:40.480 In Germany, it's going to be, they'll be either Unitarian or just like, I don't know,

00:29:46.160 Cordellos or something.

00:29:47.020 But it's also self-inflicted because I still think the pandemic comes along.

00:29:50.440 The church is willingly shut down.

00:29:52.300 Lots of people.

00:29:53.280 Yeah.

00:29:53.460 A lot of people weren't going already, but many people who were said, well, if apparently

00:29:57.440 it's not that important, you can just shut down and what do I need you?

00:30:00.960 I even, some Christians told me, they said, Michael, the church is not a place.

00:30:06.320 You know, it's the people, it's the called out people.

00:30:08.440 And obviously there's a lot of truth to that.

00:30:11.380 It's also a place.

00:30:12.380 It's also a place.

00:30:12.900 It's like a place where you gather more than two together and you have sacraments and stuff

00:30:18.700 and you don't have the rite and the sacrament of the Purell and the face mantia.

00:30:24.060 And it's called a church.

00:30:25.260 Called a church.

00:30:26.060 So we call it that.

00:30:26.920 Yeah.

00:30:27.600 Is it mine?

00:30:28.680 Yes.

00:30:29.500 Practically speaking, AI porn should at least be allowed to progress because it removes

00:30:33.720 at least the objectified parties from the equation and puts pimps out of business.

00:30:42.700 I'd be shocked if you.

00:30:44.620 That's ridiculous.

00:30:45.900 It's insane.

00:30:46.760 You know, without why people think it, look, we have, I won't name them, but we have friends,

00:30:51.700 prominent conservatives who would say, no, porn is fine because, you know, you can blow

00:30:57.460 off a little steam and then you're not going to go to a whorehouse or cheat on your wife 1.00

00:31:01.020 or in some other way.

00:31:01.820 But I think the reason, especially certain Gen X and boomer conservatives think that,

00:31:09.980 I think because they're in the thrall of Freud, whether they know it or not.

00:31:13.420 And they think that the mind is like a steam engine and they think you got to just blow

00:31:17.140 off a little steam, you know?

00:31:18.280 And so you're going to go look at your weirdo AI porn at night and that's, then you'll feel

00:31:22.260 better during the day.

00:31:23.120 But like, that's not how it works.

00:31:25.540 If you look at your weirdo porn at night, you know what you're going to do the next day?

00:31:28.720 Look at weirder porn and then eventually you're going to cheat on your wife. 0.98

00:31:34.560 And I think arguably, so I think AI porn is less harmful to the participants because they're

00:31:43.780 not real.

00:31:44.540 Yeah.

00:31:44.960 But arguably it's probably more harmful.

00:31:48.700 I mean, you can make an argument it's more harmful to the viewer just because it's even

00:31:52.880 less human, like watching porn is already a very dehumanizing thing to do.

00:31:58.720 And, uh, and now you're watching these figures who aren't even people.

00:32:02.320 Yeah.

00:32:03.340 They're just phantoms.

00:32:04.340 Right.

00:32:04.600 Yeah.

00:32:04.700 You're becoming like sexually aroused by like what's really just digital code on a screen.

00:32:09.720 Right.

00:32:10.540 Which, uh, I would argue if anything is like more harmful to the viewer.

00:32:14.680 It's also more dangerous.

00:32:16.000 One time I was speaking to a boomer friend and he said, I can't believe these kids, you

00:32:21.800 know, they'd rather look at porn than go sleep with a woman. 1.00

00:32:23.780 And I said, I totally, I totally get it.

00:32:25.600 And the reason I get it is because you go talk to a woman, she might reject you. 0.73

00:32:29.460 She's not going to be perfect.

00:32:30.660 She's not going to just do every weirdo fantasy in your head. 1.00

00:32:33.520 But porn increasingly with AI, you can construct just your craziest fantasy of a person that

00:32:43.140 doesn't even exist.

00:32:44.180 And so in a way it's, it's really dangerous even to your own appetite.

00:32:47.020 You think that like a regular porn would mess up men's views of sex.

00:32:51.300 Wait until you can just craft whatever insanity is banging around your head.

00:32:56.400 And they, and they prefer, uh, porn because it's, they think of sex as nothing but, as you

00:33:01.240 said, just a, uh.

00:33:02.120 A mechanistic.

00:33:03.640 A release.

00:33:04.220 Yeah.

00:33:04.520 It's just like, it's just a, a thing and you get what you want out of it and then you

00:33:07.580 move on.

00:33:08.020 And if that's all it is, then yeah, porn is a much easier replacement if you take out

00:33:12.540 the whole like human relationship part of the equation.

00:33:15.480 We won't be able to put this part on certain social media platform, but that's obviously

00:33:21.420 the, the reason trans is a thing is just because of porn, right? 0.67

00:33:26.420 Oh yeah.

00:33:26.900 Totally.

00:33:27.420 I mean, not, not the full reason because it did predate.

00:33:30.280 Yeah.

00:33:30.520 I know there's a little, there's like some, but the, the, the thing that has, has made

00:33:34.000 it, uh, well it's, it's also like people don't realize what the trans thing that it's, there's

00:33:37.960 like three different, uh, branches that, that are only vaguely related.

00:33:43.800 Like there's the denominations we say.

00:33:46.040 You might even call it, it's like, you've got like the, uh, adolescent teen girl, which

00:33:49.540 I think actually has very little to do with pornography.

00:33:51.360 Yeah.

00:33:51.820 And you've got young children who are, and that's got nothing to do.

00:33:54.160 And that's just the parents.

00:33:55.160 But then you have the men, adult men.

00:33:57.360 Yeah.

00:33:58.560 Who come out as trans.

00:33:59.820 That is like all porn.

00:34:00.840 It's all porn.

00:34:01.600 That's a hundred percent porn.

00:34:02.520 That branch is all porn.

00:34:03.740 The rest of it is other.

00:34:05.840 Other social pathologies.

00:34:07.000 Exactly.

00:34:07.560 Yeah.

00:34:08.060 Okay.

00:34:10.940 Western opposition to the Ugandan law, putting restrictions on weird sex stuff is really

00:34:17.720 just a form of neo-colonialism.

00:34:23.200 Yep.

00:34:24.080 For sure.

00:34:25.220 Yep.

00:34:25.600 That's what, what else would you call neo-colonialism?

00:34:27.840 Right.

00:34:28.420 It's the only form of colonialism that's still like operative in the world.

00:34:31.120 Yeah.

00:34:31.300 And I say that as someone who's like an unapologetic advocate for many forms of colonialism, as I

00:34:36.520 assume you are as well.

00:34:37.300 Yeah, yeah, of course.

00:34:39.020 But you want it to kind of, it's not just the process.

00:34:42.040 It's not just colonialism writ large.

00:34:44.500 It's, well, what are you spreading?

00:34:47.100 Right.

00:34:47.660 Truth, justice, the American way, Christianity, the faith, or like a rainbow flag in Kandahar?

00:34:53.440 Yeah.

00:34:54.360 It's really all about Christianity. 0.89

00:34:55.600 I mean, that's why colonialism 500 years ago was primarily an effort to spread the faith, 0.80

00:35:02.780 and now it's an effort to destroy the faith, and so that's why it's.

00:35:06.520 Right.

00:35:07.100 This is another, people misunderstand Columbus immensely, but Columbus's prime motivator

00:35:12.760 was the spread of the faith.

00:35:15.280 And even in as much as he wanted to find riches, it was to fund another crusade.

00:35:21.560 This man was extremely devout, and because we live in a materialist age, we can't, we

00:35:26.440 just don't even understand that.

00:35:27.800 We don't understand what it means to have a belief in something beyond this world and

00:35:31.780 have that motivate your behavior, but that was the whole thing.

00:35:34.360 I mean, that led to the founding of the Western Hemisphere.

00:35:35.940 I think the two biggest Columbus fans in media are sitting at this table, probably the two

00:35:40.020 only ones.

00:35:41.620 So, I have like.

00:35:43.640 To Christopher.

00:35:44.220 I have one Columbus rant that I just give every Columbus day.

00:35:47.600 Yeah.

00:35:47.700 I just return to it.

00:35:48.820 Yeah.

00:35:48.960 And the audience is like bored, and they're like, please move on.

00:35:52.960 Please take vacation.

00:35:54.420 Okay.

00:35:55.220 Now we finally got to an interesting one.

00:35:56.920 Leaning your seat back on an airplane is a paying customer's human right.

00:36:01.300 Leaning your seat back is a human right for the paying customer.

00:36:04.620 I'm going to hope that you have your wits about you on this issue.

00:36:11.040 And I, in total despair for you and your reason and society, am going to now realize that

00:36:24.700 you have fallen into evil and vice.

00:36:28.180 You're a seat lean backer?

00:36:30.860 Frankly, before takeoff sometimes.

00:36:33.360 Okay.

00:36:33.600 But hold on a second.

00:36:34.200 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:36:36.180 You're talking about first class, Mr. Elitist.

00:36:39.480 I'm talking about coach, too.

00:36:41.120 Yes, certainly first class.

00:36:42.080 Don't pretend that you fly coach, first of all.

00:36:43.640 I have, listen, I'll give you a good example of this.

00:36:46.200 When Daily Wire books my flights, I want first class, I want to be sitting, you know.

00:36:52.120 Of course.

00:36:52.680 With the pilots eating foie gras.

00:36:54.620 Yeah.

00:36:55.860 But I.

00:36:56.620 When you book your own, you go, coach?

00:36:57.960 Oh, yeah.

00:36:58.660 Really?

00:36:59.080 Because sometimes I get the automatic upgrade.

00:37:01.460 And just recently, I went to visit our friend Jeremy Boring and Jonathan Hay.

00:37:06.240 International flight you did, coach?

00:37:07.740 I, because I was booking my own, and I thought maybe I can work a, and I did.

00:37:11.980 You don't want to know the scam I got?

00:37:13.680 So I booked coach.

00:37:14.980 I wanted an upgrade.

00:37:15.980 They said, okay, sir, we've upgraded you to Comfort Plus.

00:37:19.320 That's a crock.

00:37:20.520 That's not, that's nothing.

00:37:21.720 That just means you get a free drink.

00:37:23.740 And so then on the way back, I got a little slight upgrade.

00:37:26.560 Not like the full business, but I did a slight upgrade.

00:37:28.160 But on the way there, I'm in coach.

00:37:29.780 And it was hell.

00:37:31.900 It was hell, Matt.

00:37:32.780 It is.

00:37:33.240 It was international.

00:37:35.240 I'm sorry you went through that.

00:37:36.060 It was, no one has suffered as I suffered on this flight.

00:37:40.080 Except everybody else, but yeah.

00:37:41.160 Yeah, other than all the other people on the plane and most other people for human history.

00:37:44.700 And I, but I, you know I needed that extra two inches.

00:37:47.900 No.

00:37:48.820 You wouldn't, you would, if you were in my shoes, you would not have reclined?

00:37:51.640 No, because I'm not a sociopath, which is what we're discovering.

00:37:54.440 You would have stayed awake all night.

00:37:55.900 I don't sleep on.

00:37:56.740 Contemplating your virtue.

00:37:57.760 Do you, that's how I spend every day.

00:38:00.220 But I don't, I don't believe, I don't sleep on planes to begin with because I don't want

00:38:05.900 to sleep.

00:38:06.360 It's weird to sleep.

00:38:07.320 I think, frankly, I think it's like slightly gay to sleep around some other strange man. 0.69

00:38:11.400 Yeah, yeah.

00:38:12.120 And there's many on the plane.

00:38:12.960 That's why I put my loafers on when I do it.

00:38:15.580 Those are instead of slippers.

00:38:17.640 I drool on them sometimes.

00:38:19.100 It is gay to sleep on a plane. 1.00

00:38:20.560 And adulterous to sleep next to a woman on a plane. 0.97

00:38:23.000 Exactly.

00:38:23.520 So I don't do, when we, I mean, I've been on international flights 18 hours, I don't

00:38:27.580 see, because I'm so committed to this.

00:38:29.900 Even, so then why would you buy business class?

00:38:31.880 The only reason to get business.

00:38:33.020 Just so I have my space to myself.

00:38:34.740 So I could be a human being.

00:38:36.540 Wow.

00:38:36.720 Treat it like a human.

00:38:38.040 I, I cuddle up.

00:38:39.840 I, when, especially when I get business, I, I kick my little, I curl up in a fetal position.

00:38:44.720 I've got, I put the sleep mask on.

00:38:46.600 Have you been on a flight where they give you pajamas?

00:38:48.640 I, no.

00:38:50.280 Was that Africa? 0.78

00:38:51.480 Qatar Airlines to Africa.

00:38:53.660 They give you pajamas.

00:38:55.640 And I, I got the pajamas.

00:38:56.880 I'm like, and I'm like, I'm not putting these on.

00:38:58.460 And I look back and our, and our like security guy already has the pajamas on.

00:39:02.800 So.

00:39:04.040 Um.

00:39:05.140 No, I, you don't, you don't lean your flight back, lean your seat back on the flight.

00:39:09.300 Because it's the, you know, because you're in coach that the person behind, you have

00:39:14.420 two, you don't have the leg room to spare.

00:39:16.680 No, no, no.

00:39:16.920 You can't type on your laptop if the guy's reclined.

00:39:18.940 Exactly.

00:39:19.340 You can't.

00:39:19.920 You can't, you can't do work.

00:39:21.540 You can't eat.

00:39:22.760 Like the tray table is useful.

00:39:24.760 They're going to give you a hot pocket in coach.

00:39:26.600 They're not, you're not getting it.

00:39:27.300 Okay, but you can't use the tray table for whatever you can use the tray table.

00:39:29.620 You can't.

00:39:30.200 And so you are, you are choosing to take that away from the person behind you.

00:39:33.740 Yeah.

00:39:33.920 Oh yeah.

00:39:34.620 And you deserve to be shot in the head.

00:39:36.680 I love it.

00:39:38.140 In fact, you know what I'm going to do the next time?

00:39:39.640 I'm going to recline and then I'm going to take his hot pocket too.

00:39:42.280 I'm going to reach back.

00:39:42.940 That's.

00:39:43.300 It's going to be delicious.

00:39:44.840 I, I spoke out about this.

00:39:47.160 I assume it's why it's there.

00:39:48.720 And I just got killed.

00:39:50.020 I was, I honestly was shocked by how wrong, and I'm not usually shocked by this.

00:39:55.080 No.

00:39:55.320 I was shocked by how wrong everybody is on this.

00:39:57.580 I.

00:39:57.840 And also how, how seriously, people were like legitimately angry at me for criticizing.

00:40:03.960 Do you know why?

00:40:04.740 Look, I'm a cheapskate.

00:40:05.720 It's not, I guess if I wanted to, I guess I could have even personally bought this expensive

00:40:12.600 business.

00:40:13.580 But I said, I'm a cheapskate.

00:40:14.460 I can't do it.

00:40:15.520 Even the cheap tickets.

00:40:17.060 I'm flying to New York for Thanksgiving.

00:40:19.460 Yeah.

00:40:20.140 You fly a family of four to New York.

00:40:21.800 It's like thousands of dollars.

00:40:23.240 So I'm every inch on my seat that I am paying for.

00:40:27.320 That's, I don't know.

00:40:27.920 That's like a $60 inch.

00:40:29.860 Right.

00:40:30.720 By some.

00:40:31.460 And you're taking it away from the person behind you.

00:40:33.120 Yeah.

00:40:33.780 I guess I had just had this great compassion.

00:40:36.320 Maybe I'll take it to the public too.

00:40:38.840 You're a man of the people.

00:40:40.340 I'm up.

00:40:42.480 Republican governor.

00:40:44.000 Should also include their homeless populations in their shipments of illegal immigrants to

00:40:49.520 liberal cities.

00:40:51.140 It was not a bad idea.

00:40:53.060 I shouldn't have given away my hands.

00:40:54.560 Yeah.

00:40:54.900 Well, yeah.

00:40:55.660 I mean, yeah.

00:40:56.280 You revealed yourself.

00:40:57.320 I did.

00:40:58.820 I guess, right?

00:40:59.920 Yeah.

00:41:00.220 I think it's actually a good idea.

00:41:01.580 Rudy did that back in, I think he did that in the 90s in New York.

00:41:04.780 He just shipped them all out.

00:41:05.800 Yeah.

00:41:05.940 Like Jersey or something.

00:41:07.180 I mean, you got to ship them somewhere.

00:41:08.520 We talked about this on the show recently.

00:41:09.660 Yeah.

00:41:10.060 The homeless people, either they're choosing to be on the street because they don't feel

00:41:19.480 like working.

00:41:20.000 In which case, vagrancy should be illegal.

00:41:22.720 And we say to them, go get a job.

00:41:23.880 This is not a choice you should be able to make.

00:41:25.420 Yeah.

00:41:25.600 Or they're not choosing it because they can't function in society.

00:41:29.020 Mentally.

00:41:29.600 Right.

00:41:29.940 Which is most of them.

00:41:30.720 In which case, vagrancy should be illegal.

00:41:32.700 And you ship them off to an institution.

00:41:34.240 Right.

00:41:34.440 Because it's not charitable to let them die of exposure.

00:41:37.220 Right.

00:41:37.560 Exactly.

00:41:38.080 I've walked out of a subway in New York.

00:41:39.480 It's really sad.

00:41:40.160 Walked out of a subway.

00:41:41.280 A guy had died.

00:41:42.620 A homeless guy had died of exposure.

00:41:45.040 A lot of people, if you live in New York or San Francisco, you've probably seen that

00:41:47.420 before.

00:41:48.300 And so that's obviously not compassionate.

00:41:50.820 You give homeless money?

00:41:52.880 Sometimes.

00:41:53.880 Yeah.

00:41:54.040 I make it a matter of prudence.

00:41:56.580 Yeah.

00:41:56.940 Like, I don't want to kill them.

00:41:58.540 I don't want to give them money that it's just going to immediately go in their veins.

00:42:00.900 You don't want to kill them, you said?

00:42:01.460 I don't want to kill them.

00:42:02.100 That's nice of you.

00:42:02.400 Yeah.

00:42:03.260 That's very generous.

00:42:03.960 Sometimes what you think is charity could actually kill those guys.

00:42:06.960 Yeah.

00:42:07.320 Okay.

00:42:07.680 I see what you're saying.

00:42:08.180 You know what I'm saying?

00:42:08.640 But, yeah.

00:42:09.460 I was at the gas station just last night.

00:42:13.200 And a woman came up to me asking for money. 1.00

00:42:15.940 It's always the same story about, you've got to get the bus.

00:42:18.300 I was like, there's no bus around here.

00:42:20.440 And she said something about going to Chicago.

00:42:22.160 I'm like, you don't need to go to Chicago.

00:42:23.760 But I gave her the money because I'm like, yeah.

00:42:25.460 I know I'm getting scammed, but.

00:42:27.120 There was one time I was driving up to a bar in L.A.

00:42:30.640 And I, like, my wife was out of town.

00:42:33.240 I knew I was going to have a few drinks with the fellas.

00:42:36.060 And so I hadn't had dinner.

00:42:37.700 And I pulled into a McDonald's to get a quick dinner before.

00:42:40.740 I didn't want to have drinks without dinner.

00:42:43.040 And I'm sitting there just on my phone or something.

00:42:45.340 And this homeless woman, like, knocks on my window. 1.00

00:42:48.080 I said, ah.

00:42:49.200 She goes, hey, give me money. 0.80

00:42:50.860 And I said, huh?

00:42:51.560 No, I'm not giving you any money.

00:42:52.660 You're obviously going to buy a bunch of drugs.

00:42:55.100 And she goes, give me money. 1.00

00:42:56.680 And I said, no.

00:42:57.520 I said, but I'll buy you some food.

00:42:59.960 She goes, and she looked so angry.

00:43:01.460 And she goes, okay, fine.

00:43:02.820 I said, okay, what do you want?

00:43:04.320 She goes, okay, I want two filet of fish.

00:43:08.440 Okay.

00:43:09.280 And I want eggs.

00:43:10.480 That was the brief period when McDonald's was serving breakfast all day.

00:43:13.160 I want eggs.

00:43:14.300 And I want, and she picked all these really weird menu items.

00:43:17.040 And she rings up her tab, probably to like 35 bucks.

00:43:20.000 And I said, okay, all right.

00:43:20.820 That'll get you through the night.

00:43:21.780 That's enough food.

00:43:23.280 Oh, okay.

00:43:23.940 All right.

00:43:24.840 So I go in, and I order all this weird food, plus my double quarter pounder.

00:43:29.500 I come out.

00:43:31.360 She just said, she just wanted.

00:43:33.920 That's hilarious.

00:43:34.540 And I was so angry that I said, she's not going to get the last lap.

00:43:39.680 So I brought the food home.

00:43:40.980 I put it in the fridge.

00:43:42.660 And over about two days, I ate every bite of it.

00:43:44.740 Yeah.

00:43:46.560 What's your order at?

00:43:48.240 Double quarter pounder with cheese, always.

00:43:49.860 That's my go-to.

00:43:50.860 Fridays, double filet of fish.

00:43:52.700 It's better than it sounds.

00:43:53.380 The filet of fish is good.

00:43:54.400 It's good.

00:43:54.940 You know, McDonald's and breakfast, like no one, no fast food chain has figured out how

00:43:59.460 to do a better breakfast than McDonald's.

00:44:01.420 No one's figured it out.

00:44:02.200 No.

00:44:03.040 What's your move, though, on like an evening kind of McDonald's?

00:44:07.220 You know, usually I go with the Big Mac, just plastic, but I'll go with Filet-O-Fish even

00:44:11.480 when it's not a Friday.

00:44:12.460 I think it's just a good meal.

00:44:15.380 That's sick.

00:44:17.520 That's a psycho order.

00:44:18.960 Really?

00:44:19.700 Like, I'll eat it.

00:44:21.040 I was coming home from Trump.

00:44:22.280 I got a Filet-O-Fish a couple weeks ago, like one o'clock in the morning.

00:44:25.880 I was coming home from a Filet-O-Fish.

00:44:26.280 You and Trump.

00:44:27.040 Trump's a Filet-O-Fish guy.

00:44:28.140 Is he?

00:44:30.120 The only thing we have in common.

00:44:31.240 Birth control and other hormone-altering drugs explain why women have generally become 1.00

00:44:36.080 crazier and more liberal, but I repeat myself over the past half-century.

00:44:46.620 You're going to say no, but you're wrong.

00:44:48.660 I will say yes.

00:44:50.080 Okay.

00:44:50.340 I thought you were going to have some like, well, it's not that simple, and then go into

00:44:54.660 some...

00:44:55.020 That is, my answer is it's not that simple, except in this case it sort of is.

00:44:57.960 Because the drugs themselves have driven women crazy, and the availability of the 1.00

00:45:03.860 drugs, which spurred the sexual revolution, have been the driver of women's craziness 1.00

00:45:09.400 over the last half-century, which I don't think that's too cagey.

00:45:14.660 Did I get you right?

00:45:16.940 Yeah, you got it right, because I just don't...

00:45:18.840 I actually am going, I don't think it's that simple route, because I also think that the

00:45:21.680 craziness of men has increased at exactly the same rate, and they're not taking birth control

00:45:26.800 pills for the most part.

00:45:27.620 But why have the men gone crazy?

00:45:29.080 Well, yeah, I mean, you could...

00:45:30.680 I just think there are cultural factors.

00:45:32.880 It's also part of the moral decay, of which birth control, I would argue, is a symptom,

00:45:38.740 but not the cause.

00:45:40.560 Do you think, though, if...

00:45:41.900 So, in 1965, the Supreme Court says married couples can use birth control, because in the

00:45:48.080 Constitution, in Invisible Inc., we found the right, the special amendment where you get

00:45:54.940 to use condoms.

00:45:55.500 Well, Thomas Jefferson, he always had that in mind.

00:45:57.200 He did.

00:45:57.780 And if you read his letters in Invisible Inc., you see those two.

00:46:01.920 Then, in 1972, Eisenstadt v. Baird, they say, okay, actually, we discovered in the last

00:46:07.720 seven years, non-married couples also can use birth control somewhere in the Constitution.

00:46:12.020 If not for those two decisions and the political opening up of birth control, would men and women

00:46:22.420 have gone nearly as crazy?

00:46:24.540 Was it already baked in, or was that, like, the driver?

00:46:27.440 Well, but then, but then, are we saying that that never, it was never legalized?

00:46:34.360 It was, well, in certain communities.

00:46:35.760 Or just not at that moment?

00:46:37.240 Just, yeah, basically, there were never a national right to birth control.

00:46:41.080 Or, like, if birth control never existed, is that another way of...

00:46:43.280 Well, certainly, if birth control had never existed.

00:46:44.920 Sure, that's the most extreme version of it.

00:46:48.120 Yeah, I don't think it'd be as bad, but it's a matter of degrees.

00:46:50.620 Yeah.

00:46:51.020 So, what I mean is...

00:46:52.960 What was the question?

00:46:53.500 I don't even know what we're talking about.

00:46:54.140 Yeah, we were talking about filet of fish, I think.

00:46:55.680 But, yeah, the drugs explain why.

00:46:59.480 So, if it said, like, one of the main drivers of women craziness, then I would say yes. 1.00

00:47:04.420 But explain why makes it sound like that's the whole story.

00:47:06.960 I don't think it's the whole story.

00:47:08.580 But, and also, I don't want to just gloss, because we're having this more kind of legal and political conversation,

00:47:13.340 but the drugs also make women go crazy. 1.00

00:47:16.760 Yeah.

00:47:17.180 I think, right?

00:47:18.360 Hormonally.

00:47:18.900 Yes.

00:47:19.940 This is not just me.

00:47:20.940 What do I know?

00:47:21.380 I've never taken the pill.

00:47:22.100 But women I've spoken to who are on the pill for a long time.

00:47:25.240 And now these girls go on it at 12 or something. 1.00

00:47:27.500 Yeah.

00:47:28.100 They will say, they themselves will say, yeah, I was nuts when I was on the pill.

00:47:31.960 Yeah.

00:47:32.240 And getting off the pill was hard.

00:47:34.200 Then you think condoms are gay, but now they're, you know, how much gayer is going to be a birth control pill for men? 0.53

00:47:39.340 Which they're working on.

00:47:40.340 They are working on that.

00:47:41.360 Could you imagine?

00:47:42.780 There are men who, I don't want, like...

00:47:44.540 A man with one of those, like, pill, you know, things, he has to open up and take his...

00:47:49.240 I was reading about, there are guys who are 20.

00:47:57.200 Yeah.

00:47:58.080 I'm not even...

00:47:58.960 I can't imagine that.

00:48:00.200 It ain't, like...

00:48:00.680 Of course.

00:48:01.160 How could you...

00:48:02.060 Yeah.

00:48:02.820 That's not...

00:48:03.340 Subjective.

00:48:03.460 Not for me.

00:48:04.000 Not for me.

00:48:04.420 Let's...

00:48:05.140 I'll say that.

00:48:06.180 But if you...

00:48:08.020 I at least can understand the line of modern reasoning that lead men to certainty.

00:48:14.980 But 20?

00:48:17.840 Yeah.

00:48:19.000 What kind of a eunuch...

00:48:24.140 What is the world coming to?

00:48:25.880 What's it coming to?

00:48:27.280 I would rather have an AI babysit my kids than a liberal. 0.99

00:48:31.300 Hmm.

00:48:36.180 Hmm.

00:48:38.700 Um...

00:48:39.300 Hmm.

00:48:44.980 Grudgingly correct.

00:48:49.540 Yeah.

00:48:49.760 I'm going to say no.

00:48:50.920 Also, it's a false choice because the AI...

00:48:52.460 They're both liberal.

00:48:53.180 ...are programmed.

00:48:53.840 Yeah.

00:48:54.080 Yeah.

00:48:54.280 By liberals.

00:48:54.940 Yeah.

00:48:55.540 They're both liberal.

00:48:56.860 And at least the...

00:48:58.840 Yeah, right.

00:48:59.300 The liberal, by virtue of being human, might have some unwitting tethering to reality.

00:49:07.200 It might have, like, some semblance of a soul left.

00:49:09.480 Yes.

00:49:10.100 The AI is just demons.

00:49:11.800 If it has a soul, it's a demon soul.

00:49:13.280 Right.

00:49:13.740 Yeah.

00:49:14.240 Yeah.

00:49:14.420 That's great.

00:49:16.800 The flood story from the Bible is a historical event, the truth of which is suppressed by 0.96

00:49:22.960 the scientific community.

00:49:31.720 Correct.

00:49:35.240 You got it wrong.

00:49:36.060 I would say yes.

00:49:36.460 You would say...

00:49:36.960 Okay, good.

00:49:37.520 All right.

00:49:37.840 I don't know.

00:49:38.120 I was being cautious there on the...

00:49:39.400 I don't know if the literal...

00:49:40.320 You think I'm full, like...

00:49:41.420 I don't know if you were big lib on, you know, exegesis.

00:49:43.680 You think I'm, like, Episcopal going to a church with a rainbow flag.

00:49:47.340 You go to the priestess and you say, hello, Bishop Riss, please give me a blessing.

00:49:52.040 Well, this is one where, like, on top of Scripture, the scientific evidence is pretty strong.

00:50:01.660 Yeah.

00:50:01.800 And we know that historically, like, every ancient civilization has a flood story.

00:50:06.320 Yes.

00:50:07.060 And many of them are quite similar, which is often used as a means to discredit the biblical

00:50:13.020 story.

00:50:13.260 But I've never quite understood that.

00:50:14.180 To me, it's like, okay, if all of these ancient civilizations agreed, not only on, like, that

00:50:19.300 there was a flood, but also that oftentimes that some small group of people were saved from

00:50:24.320 the flood, and how is that supposed to discredit...

00:50:27.980 To me, that just lends more credibility to this idea.

00:50:30.680 Also, the fact that we keep being told by the modern libs there have been these major climactic

00:50:36.100 events throughout all of the ages, and the nature of the continents has changed, and global

00:50:43.600 mean temperature has changed, and there are these ice ages, and this, that, and the other

00:50:47.300 thing.

00:50:47.980 Asteroids hit the Earth.

00:50:48.740 Like, it's so crazy to think there was a big flood.

00:50:52.640 Yeah.

00:50:53.320 There's good scientific evidence for Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed by fire and brimstone.

00:50:57.320 You're telling me there couldn't have been a big flood?

00:50:59.080 Now, do you think it was...

00:50:59.760 Do you think it necessarily had to be a flood that covered the entire globe, literally?

00:51:04.700 It would have had to cover civilization, certainly.

00:51:11.260 Yeah.

00:51:11.460 Like, I don't think that Mount Everest was underwater.

00:51:17.400 Yeah.

00:51:17.640 I suppose I'm agnostic on that.

00:51:20.400 It wouldn't bother me if Mount Everest were not covered.

00:51:23.180 But certainly, like when you mention the other civilizational stories of the floods, I got

00:51:28.960 Gilgamesh pilled some years ago, when I realized that that story has a lot of similarities to

00:51:35.480 the Bible.

00:51:38.300 To me, I thought, oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense.

00:51:41.120 Of course.

00:51:41.660 And even more distant civilizations have the same story.

00:51:44.480 And even, and, you know, those are civilizations that are all kind of close to each other.

00:51:48.720 But you go over to the New World, you know, and you find flood stories there, too, which

00:51:53.240 is very interesting.

00:51:53.920 Yeah.

00:51:54.520 Yeah.

00:51:54.920 I totally agree.

00:51:55.620 Calling fans sweet babies is more uncomfortable than a podcaster calling fans creamy cream puffs.

00:52:09.180 Sweet babies is more uncomfortable.

00:52:11.020 So you, I know you're wrong about this.

00:52:16.260 So this is one that you're wrong about.

00:52:17.180 Throw a point up on the board.

00:52:18.520 Thank you very much.

00:52:20.400 I agree.

00:52:21.380 Look, I...

00:52:22.400 You agree.

00:52:24.020 I agree.

00:52:25.060 It's, it's, it's...

00:52:26.020 The cream puffs thing is weirder.

00:52:27.560 I held off on this thing because the, the sweet baby gang came into existence in a very 1.00

00:52:34.000 organic way.

00:52:34.980 It did.

00:52:35.460 Because you mentioned some talk show host who, you played a clip and then they, it was

00:52:41.060 the people who...

00:52:43.380 You don't, you don't know the origin.

00:52:45.300 I don't, okay.

00:52:46.020 So what happened?

00:52:46.540 What is the...

00:52:47.200 No, we don't talk about it.

00:52:48.360 But that's not it.

00:52:50.740 It's Monique, but we don't talk about it.

00:52:52.500 Monique.

00:52:53.020 I almost said Moesha.

00:52:54.380 Yeah.

00:52:54.680 No.

00:52:54.800 Which would have, no, it's Monique. 0.99

00:52:56.080 Monique started the sweet baby gang, but we don't have that conversation.

00:52:58.760 We don't talk about it.

00:53:00.460 It's the first rule.

00:53:01.740 Of the SPG.

00:53:02.840 Yeah.

00:53:03.260 She's the godmother.

00:53:04.260 She doesn't even know it.

00:53:05.700 Could you imagine her joy?

00:53:08.200 Yeah.

00:53:08.680 On learning that?

00:53:09.200 I think she would be.

00:53:11.080 So then people wrote in.

00:53:12.340 After the SPG sprang to life, they said, Michael, you need a, you need a gang.

00:53:16.940 I said, oh, guys, it's like a guy in high school giving himself a nickname.

00:53:21.760 You can't, you can't, you can't do it.

00:53:23.380 This guy, and they threw out all these, I'm not even going to say the ideas because I don't

00:53:26.540 want to embarrass anyone who suggested them, but they were all so profoundly cringe.

00:53:31.100 And I said, no, guys, please, no, you can't, you can't do such a thing.

00:53:36.740 But then something did happen, at least somewhat organically, in a French organic way, like

00:53:44.680 a creme fraiche almost.

00:53:46.220 I mentioned, I said, okay, Jeremy's making us all do member block now.

00:53:50.260 So the member block is not for the hoi polloi.

00:53:52.240 It's not for everybody.

00:53:53.240 It's for the creme de la creme.

00:53:54.320 It's for the absolute tippy top.

00:53:55.900 You know, get to go to the member block.

00:53:57.180 And I guess I said this enough, that there was this very pretentious idea that came

00:54:02.760 about, the creme, like a little creme puff, which I thought, guys, they're already saying

00:54:09.180 my intro is gay.

00:54:11.100 And now you're calling me a creme puff.

00:54:13.860 And that's not, so I've not, I've embraced it to a degree.

00:54:20.820 It's funny.

00:54:21.560 It's my favorite dessert.

00:54:22.740 It's a profiterole.

00:54:23.440 I love a nice creme puff, much as I like a nice loaf.

00:54:26.420 They're disgusting.

00:54:27.480 What?

00:54:28.560 Cream puffs?

00:54:29.400 Am I thinking of the right thing?

00:54:30.340 Yeah.

00:54:30.620 Like a nice juicy little flaky pastry with a nice little cream on the inside.

00:54:34.280 With like, yeah, it's disgusting.

00:54:36.120 It's like a jelly, it's like a glorified jelly donut.

00:54:38.340 Like a, yeah, like a French and pretentious jelly donut.

00:54:41.560 With no jelly.

00:54:42.340 It's just cream.

00:54:42.840 It's like a Bavarian donut.

00:54:44.320 Yeah.

00:54:44.820 So it's a jelly donut, except gayer, is what you're saying.

00:54:47.540 It's so gay. 1.00

00:54:48.360 And so I was like, guys, I know I told you don't do a contrived thing, but if the organic

00:54:53.000 thing is going to double down on the gay thing, then I don't, this is kind of a net, this 0.52

00:54:58.300 might be a net negative for me.

00:54:59.680 You should have gone with like the Crusaders or something.

00:55:02.300 But that's contrived.

00:55:03.260 Then it'd be like me being like, hey, my team is going to be called the really cool, handsome

00:55:06.780 guys.

00:55:07.340 Like, yeah, it's not going to.

00:55:08.400 Yeah.

00:55:09.440 Yeah.

00:55:09.820 It's just, you got to let it, you got to let it happen.

00:55:11.800 But then sometimes it happens.

00:55:12.740 And then it happens and you wonder about it.

00:55:14.920 Similar to the 2020 election, Matt Walsh's Mortal Kombat showdown was completely rigged

00:55:21.600 with another gamer playing for Matt.

00:55:24.860 What?

00:55:25.840 Are you even aware?

00:55:27.280 No, I mean, I saw.

00:55:30.740 You're obviously a very talented video gamer.

00:55:34.560 Okay, so you've already answered.

00:55:35.940 Oh, darn.

00:55:38.100 Yeah, I don't even understand.

00:55:40.380 Look, I obviously, I probably can't say this on a certain social media platform.

00:55:44.920 I obviously understand the 2020 election was completely stolen by Joe Biden and the Democrats

00:55:51.680 and the globalists.

00:55:55.440 But you don't, but the game was so clear.

00:55:59.520 Yeah.

00:56:00.140 I don't know.

00:56:00.760 Look, I don't, I don't, I don't personally understand it.

00:56:05.560 But I guess I'm just a natural gamer at heart.

00:56:10.120 Yeah.

00:56:10.360 What were your favorite growing up?

00:56:12.000 What were your favorite games?

00:56:13.280 Um, we never got, so you're younger than me, right?

00:56:18.320 So what, my, I was like the N64 generation.

00:56:23.020 Wait, my first games were like Super Nintendo, like Donkey Kong.

00:56:27.620 Yeah.

00:56:27.760 No, I never had, I'm saying N64 came out, I think when I was like in fifth grade or something.

00:56:31.960 And so all, so, and then PlayStation and then like, so, but I, I only ever had Super Nintendo.

00:56:36.640 And so, oh, oh, got it.

00:56:38.120 Okay.

00:56:38.380 Yeah.

00:56:38.700 When I, so, you know, I was begging my parents for video game system and they wouldn't get

00:56:43.380 it.

00:56:43.860 And then, and then finally N64 came out like right before Christmas of whatever fifth grade.

00:56:48.380 And, um, they said they're going to get me the video game system.

00:56:52.180 And then I opened it up and it was Super Nintendo.

00:56:54.120 So they got me the one, I got the one that was right behind.

00:56:56.740 And, and then I went to school at, you know, I went to school after Christmas break and

00:57:01.180 everyone's talking about, they got N64 and they said, oh, did you get it?

00:57:04.640 And I, and I lied.

00:57:05.520 And I said, I said, yeah, you know, in the moment, I just felt like I had to fit in as

00:57:10.780 one of those moments.

00:57:11.420 Yeah.

00:57:12.040 And then I had to live in the lie for like the whole rest of the year that I've had N64.

00:57:17.820 And they, they were all talking about Super Smash Brothers and you were like, yeah, yeah.

00:57:21.700 Yeah.

00:57:21.840 I had no idea what games they were talking about.

00:57:23.380 And I just, I was living this total lie.

00:57:25.340 I was very traumatized.

00:57:25.980 But you were playing Donkey Kong Country.

00:57:27.380 Right.

00:57:27.660 Which is maybe the best video game ever.

00:57:28.940 It's great.

00:57:29.320 And I enjoyed the, the, the, the playing it.

00:57:31.480 The Minecraft level was, it's one of the great levels ever of the game.

00:57:35.020 Which maybe, maybe this explains my hatred for video games is like the trauma that I suffered

00:57:39.560 as a child.

00:57:40.160 And your conservatism.

00:57:41.420 You were behind, you were one generation behind.

00:57:43.960 The traditionals.

00:57:44.760 Yeah.

00:57:45.000 The great tradition.

00:57:45.800 Wow.

00:57:46.460 Did I, did I win?

00:57:48.420 No.

00:57:49.340 Did we have a score?

00:57:51.460 They say, we think you won by one.

00:57:54.380 Me, that I won.

00:57:55.120 What?

00:57:55.320 We think you won by one.

00:57:56.960 Yeah, that's great.

00:57:57.240 I like that.

00:57:57.700 That's some nice Philadelphia 2020 scoring is what I know.

00:58:01.380 They got some pipes bursting in the back over here.

00:58:03.460 Mr. Walsh.

00:58:04.640 Thank you.

00:58:05.020 Cheers.

00:58:05.340 We actually drank a fair bit on this.

00:58:07.360 Usually I have like a sip or two.

00:58:09.500 Thank you for purchasing this game at dailywire.com slash shop.

00:58:16.500 And for tuning in.

00:58:17.580 We'll see you next time.

00:58:18.200 We'll see you next time.
