Ep. 1084 - Gay Pigs Are Coming To Groom Your Kids


Summary

The mayor of Washington, D.C. has declared a public emergency after over 11,000 illegal immigrants arrive on buses from Texas and Arizona. What's so bad about becoming a border town? I thought it was perfectly fine when it was in your backyard.

00:00:30.320 Muriel Bowser, the Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C.,
00:00:33.700 has just declared a public emergency in the district
00:00:36.580 after 11,000 illegal aliens have arrived on buses that were sent from Texas and Arizona.
00:00:43.920 Now, that number is nothing compared to the total number of illegal aliens
00:00:48.560 who pour across the border into border towns every single day.
00:00:52.400 But for some reason, Mayor Bowser thinks it constitutes a state of emergency,
00:00:57.400 which is really strange.
00:00:58.640 Since I have been reliably informed by the liberal media that mass illegal migration,
00:01:05.020 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they call it diversity, is actually our greatest strength.
00:01:11.020 So how is it?
00:01:12.540 Maybe you can help me figure this out.
00:01:13.960 How is it that our greatest strength is now an emergency?
00:01:18.820 Luckily, we have D.C. Council Lady Brienne Nadeau to explain.
00:01:24.540 So it's been said, but it's worth reiterating,
00:01:28.420 that the governors of Texas and Arizona have created this crisis.
00:01:33.720 And the federal government has not stepped up to assist the District of Columbia.
00:01:37.580 So we, along with our regional partners, we'll do what we've always done.
00:01:42.640 We'll rise to the occasion.
00:01:44.240 We've learned from border towns like El Paso and Brownsville.
00:01:50.440 And in many ways, the governors of Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town.
00:01:57.440 We don't know how long this will take to resolve.
00:02:00.820 We don't know how long they will continue busing.
00:02:03.320 You hear that?
00:02:04.860 Those awful red state governors have turned liberal Washington, D.C. into a border town.
00:02:11.720 Could you imagine the horror?
00:02:14.000 Even though, wait a minute,
00:02:16.140 haven't liberal politicians in Washington, D.C. been telling us that there's nothing bad at all
00:02:22.040 going on in the border towns because illegal immigration is our strength?
00:02:25.540 What's so bad about becoming a border town?
00:02:28.020 I thought it was perfectly fine to be.
00:02:30.080 Oh, now you're experiencing it and you're realizing it's not so great when it's in your backyard.
00:02:36.040 Just a few years ago, this very same lady, this council lady,
00:02:40.300 who is complaining about illegal aliens showing up in D.C., tweeted out, quote,
00:02:44.440 the district is a sanctuary city, which means our law enforcement does not cooperate with ICE.
00:02:51.000 As council member, I have called for an abolition of ICE and wrote D.C.'s law to establish a permanent
00:02:57.400 immigrant legal services fund.
00:03:00.820 But you see, you see, that was back when illegal immigrants were not really showing up to Washington,
00:03:07.080 D.C., back when illegal immigration was a problem created by Washington politicians
00:03:12.000 for red states to deal with.
00:03:14.980 Now that D.C. is getting a taste of its own medicine, the lies and the disingenuous narratives
00:03:20.020 are falling apart.
00:03:21.500 And even the libs themselves are tacitly admitting that the only reason they consider illegal immigration
00:03:26.900 to be our strength is that it allows them to weaken their political opponents, namely us.
00:03:33.680 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:34.680 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:35.500 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:44.740 My favorite comment yesterday is from Alan921, who says,
00:03:47.700 I think if it were at all possible, the video about the life of Queen Elizabeth II would have
00:03:52.020 been a great eulogy.
00:03:53.300 We didn't just lose an amazing woman.
00:03:54.820 We have lost what little remains of the traditional Western culture.
00:03:58.200 God save the queen.
00:03:59.080 Thanks so much.
00:03:59.980 I really appreciate that.
00:04:00.760 I did my show yesterday, and then there was news that the queen was ailing, and then she
00:04:05.900 died not long after the show, a few hours after the show.
00:04:10.040 And I knew I had the show today, but I just felt the moment was so important.
00:04:14.000 And it was eliciting, rightly, justifiably, I think, a very strong reaction from people.
00:04:19.540 I said, I've just got to go live.
00:04:20.500 I got to do an extra show today.
00:04:21.940 And so that's up on YouTube.
00:04:23.000 I think we put it on the RSS feed as well.
00:04:25.840 That's where most of my thoughts on the passing of Queen Elizabeth will be.
00:04:28.860 But I've been really surprised.
00:04:32.440 Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, because I know that she was so beloved.
00:04:35.800 But I've been really pleased to see the positive response that that video has gotten.
00:04:39.860 I've gotten a lot of messages, in particular, from the UK and from overseas.
00:04:44.200 But I appreciate that.
00:04:44.880 If you want to hear that, you can go to the RSS feed or elsewhere on the YouTube channel.
00:04:50.220 Because the woman was really important.
00:04:51.820 She was described as a golden thread, uniting the entire United Kingdom.
00:04:58.120 And speaking of gold, have you checked out Birchgold?

00:06:15.560 The big story, of course, right now is the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
00:06:21.200 And it's taken the whole focus of the world because people feel as though a great age is gone now.
00:06:29.860 Our last connection to this great age when Western civilization seemed to flourish more,
00:06:34.580 seemed to make more sense, is finally gone.
00:06:37.180 And we knew it was going to come.
00:06:38.080 The woman was 96 years old, but it doesn't make it any less sad.
00:06:41.980 There have been some really off-key responses.
00:06:46.000 I've noticed this, especially from people on the left, who, while they may actually have liked the woman,
00:06:52.900 and while they may be trying to be polite on her passing, they don't like monarchy,
00:06:57.860 they don't like tradition, they don't like Western civilization,
00:07:00.040 so they don't really like anything that the woman stood for.
00:07:03.260 And so it's created a real challenge in the way that they respond to this.
00:07:08.360 Yesterday, before the news came that the queen had died, the White House was asked about her ailing,
00:07:15.160 the fact that all of her family members were traveling to her, the fact that it seemed like time was short.
00:07:20.460 The response from Corrine Jean-Pierre, I think, tells you everything you need to know
00:07:25.160 about how the left stands at this moment in history.
00:07:30.040 On Queen Elizabeth, she served for nearly a third of American history.
00:07:34.440 So how does President Biden view this special relationship between the U.S. and the U.K.
00:07:39.700 if there were to be a transition in the British monarchy?
00:07:43.300 So don't want to, you know, we feel like it's inappropriate to talk about hypotheticals here.
00:07:49.920 But what I will say about the relationship with the United Kingdom,
00:07:55.940 as the President said in celebration of Queen's Platinum Jubilee, which is not too long ago,
00:08:02.500 under, and this is quote,
00:08:03.800 under her reign, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States
00:08:07.920 has grown stronger and closer than ever.
00:08:11.220 The President, as you all know, has known the Queen for over three decades.
00:08:15.200 He's met her personally three times, once was in June of 2021, over the years,
00:08:22.040 including, as I said, twice last year.
00:08:24.660 Again, we see this relationship is stronger, grows stronger, every close, stronger and closer.
00:08:33.820 And, again, our hearts, the President's, as he said, our thoughts and our hearts are with the Queen,
00:08:41.540 her family, and also the people of the United Kingdom.
00:08:46.040 Okay, perfectly nice thing to say.
00:08:47.820 I'm not criticizing the sentiment at all.
00:08:50.560 I am criticizing the language.
00:08:52.760 Did you hear what she said?
00:08:53.660 She said, and she apparently was quoting the President here,
00:08:57.080 our thoughts and our hearts are with the Queen.
00:09:02.400 That's a strange phrase.
00:09:04.320 You don't hear that.
00:09:05.040 Our thoughts and hearts are with you.
00:09:08.840 That phrase is a substitute for our thoughts and prayers are with you.
00:09:13.080 But the White House can't bring itself to say prayers.
00:09:15.200 The left has made a point in recent years of mocking the phrase thoughts and prayers.
00:09:20.260 And they mock thoughts and prayers because they believe that prayers are not efficacious,
00:09:23.480 because they don't believe in God.
00:09:24.540 And the White House, as the chief representative of the American left,
00:09:30.380 can't bring itself to use that phrase either.
00:09:34.680 I promise you that was intentional, the omission of the word prayers.
00:09:37.900 And maybe some of them do believe in prayers,
00:09:40.700 but they feel like the base is so atheistic that they can't use the phrase.
00:09:43.360 Or maybe, as I suspect, the administration is just not particularly Christian,
00:09:49.400 not particularly religious, kind of mocks all of those things.
00:09:54.540 Unfortunately, I think it's the latter.
00:09:56.940 Really sad, because Queen Elizabeth, from the earliest days of her reign,
00:10:02.320 was a defender of religion and public religion, private religion too, and private faith.
00:10:08.200 And she viewed herself as serving God.
00:10:11.380 And I think she did serve God.
00:10:14.100 And she said, look, people in this modern world,
00:10:16.340 they're trying to toss out all the ageless truths and the ageless ideals,
00:10:20.300 namely religion.
00:10:21.320 The first on the list was religion.
00:10:22.780 And she said, we really shouldn't do that.
00:10:24.580 When we lose that, we're really lost.
00:10:27.620 And when I heard that statement from the White House,
00:10:30.780 it deepened my sense of dread that we were going to lose the Queen.
00:10:34.520 Because I thought, man, you guys, you guys just don't get it.
00:10:38.820 No one seems to get it.
00:10:40.220 Or maybe they do get it and they're happy.
00:10:43.620 Not that the woman has passed, but that that age has passed.
00:10:46.700 And that sense of tradition and dignity and the notion that one serves one's family and community
00:10:53.300 and country, and ultimately one serves one's God.
00:10:56.140 So many people at funerals think, after they finish thinking about the person who has died,
00:11:05.180 they turn their thoughts onto themselves.
00:11:07.100 And sometimes people cry at funerals because they're thinking of their own mortality.
00:11:11.540 And it's a natural reaction.
00:11:13.520 And I think a lot of people are thinking that way with the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
00:11:16.880 We're thinking about ourselves.
00:11:17.820 What does this mean for the world that we're living in?
00:11:19.460 I had this thought last year.
00:11:20.720 I went to my friend's wedding in France and took sweet little Elisa and the babies.
00:11:28.040 And we made a whole family trip out of it.
00:11:29.760 And we're walking around Paris.
00:11:31.580 And sweet little Elisa, out of nowhere, she's looking at the building.
00:11:34.040 She goes, man, that's obviously Elisa's voice.
00:11:37.800 Man, Mac, why can't we have these beautiful things?
00:11:42.300 How come the French get beautiful things?
00:11:45.820 Why don't we get beautiful things?
00:11:48.320 So that's a great question.
00:11:50.720 Because there are beautiful buildings in America.
00:11:53.840 There's obviously a lot of beautiful geography.
00:11:55.460 But there's some beautiful art, some beautiful buildings.
00:11:58.220 But not a lot.
00:11:59.240 They're kind of few and far between.
00:12:00.820 And most of the buildings that have been built in the last century
00:12:03.320 have just been these kind of glass and steel monstrosities.
00:12:06.520 Or this brutalist, hideous sort of architecture.
00:12:10.960 And you walk around a city that's from another age, older cities,
00:12:16.240 and you think, this is so beautiful.
00:12:18.380 Why can't we have that?
00:12:19.640 And that is the point of the monarchy.
00:12:23.100 That is the point of the royal family.
00:12:24.600 And the last really prominent one is in the United Kingdom,
00:12:28.660 is to give the nation something to look up to.
00:12:32.500 And it's a service role.
00:12:33.940 I mean, these are people whose job it is to serve the country.
00:12:38.200 They happen to wear tiaras, but their job is to go out and open up grocery stores
00:12:42.520 and help encourage the country.
00:12:45.320 But it's to give them a sense of dignity, not just efficiency,
00:12:48.920 not just ticking up the GDP a little further, but a sense of dignity,
00:12:53.260 a sense of tradition, a sense of culture, a sense of art.
00:12:56.180 And the question that we have is, why can't we have that here?
00:13:00.980 We have a different political tradition.
00:13:02.340 I think we could cast our eyes up a little bit,
00:13:05.660 but we've really got to dig in deep and not just cast away all of the past.
00:13:09.200 You know, when the queen died, there were rainbows that appeared over Buckingham Palace
00:13:16.360 and over Windsor Castle.
00:13:18.880 When the queen died, there was a double rainbow over Buckingham Palace.
00:13:21.200 And then when they lowered the flag to half-mast, very briefly,
00:13:24.140 a giant rainbow appeared over Windsor Castle.
00:13:26.860 And it's not lost on me either that the queen died on Merimus,
00:13:30.340 on the feast of the Nativity of Mary, queen of heaven and earth.
00:13:33.360 I don't think that's just a coincidence.
00:13:35.700 You know, I believe in providence.
00:13:37.360 I think that's, you know, providence is when God kind of peeks out from behind the curtain
00:13:41.080 and winks at you.
00:13:43.060 And it is a great consolation because it's a reminder that no matter
00:13:47.040 how useless our good works seem to be,
00:13:51.680 no matter how pointless it seems to be to live a good life in a culture
00:13:55.780 that doesn't really seem to reward that all that much,
00:13:58.560 there is an order to things.
00:14:00.520 There is an overarching providence.
00:14:03.300 And we can see it peek out every now and again.
00:14:04.880 And it's a great encouragement.

00:15:20.980 Speaking of rainbows, great news out of Utah and Boise.
00:15:27.040 A Utah-based bank has just pulled a sponsorship
00:15:31.000 from an upcoming Boise Pride Festival
00:15:33.700 in backlash to a drag kids show
00:15:38.540 where children as young as 11 were set to perform.
00:15:43.500 They say, over the years,
00:15:44.880 Zion's bank has supported a variety of pride events
00:15:48.000 because they are an important part of our support
00:15:50.220 for LGBTQ employees and allies
00:15:52.640 and are representative of our efforts
00:15:53.900 to foster an inclusive, diverse,
00:15:55.600 and equitable workplace and community.
00:15:57.420 This support for all of our employees
00:15:59.120 and communities remains unchanged.
00:16:01.820 But they said, we're not, we can't do the kids stuff, okay?
00:16:06.040 We're really open-minded.
00:16:08.240 We'll even support kind of weird sexual parades
00:16:10.980 in the streets, but just leave the kids out of it, please.
00:16:14.580 And the Boise Pride response was, we can't.
00:16:19.860 We can't.
00:16:21.060 Boise says, minors have participated
00:16:23.360 in the Boise Pride Festival
00:16:24.760 both on and off stage for many years.
00:16:27.700 Pride and inclusivity do not begin at age 18.
00:16:30.380 You know, this story was just going around yesterday.
00:16:32.700 I assume it has to date back to Pride Month.
00:16:34.960 Although, who knows?
00:16:35.840 Actually, now, not only is Pride Month in June,
00:16:38.820 there's another version of Pride Month in October,
00:16:41.040 which is the LGBTQ History Month.
00:16:42.900 So a full sixth of the year is now dedicated
00:16:44.760 to eccentric sexual behaviors.
00:16:47.980 Pretty soon, it's probably gonna be the whole year.
00:16:49.680 Regardless, though, of whether this was June or October,
00:16:51.440 the point remains the same.
00:16:53.140 The important takeaway here is,
00:16:56.600 the libs have to push this on kids.
00:17:00.380 They have to.
00:17:01.020 I know a lot of people
00:17:02.500 who are kind of moderate or in the center,
00:17:04.380 they'll say, wow, this is just so crazy.
00:17:06.440 The left, the sexual revolutionaries,
00:17:09.000 they can get away with all the Pride stuff they want
00:17:11.580 and put it in public
00:17:12.440 and probably march the parade around City Hall.
00:17:15.200 They can get some of the Biden administration officials
00:17:17.120 who go to satanic leather fetish parties
00:17:19.860 and they could probably get them
00:17:20.900 to give a keynote speech.
00:17:22.200 They could get away with all of it
00:17:23.780 if they would just leave the kids out of it.
00:17:26.380 Why are these people so stupid?
00:17:27.380 Stupid, why are they so stubborn
00:17:28.960 that they have to involve the kids?
00:17:31.180 But they have to involve the kids
00:17:33.920 because if they don't,
00:17:36.440 then they are admitting
00:17:37.640 that the events are obscene, right?
00:17:41.020 The reason to exclude the kids
00:17:43.340 is because this is sexually explicit,
00:17:46.300 obscene behavior.
00:17:48.320 But if it's sexually explicit,
00:17:49.780 obscene behavior,
00:17:51.100 why would we have it in the public square at all?
00:17:53.680 If, this is why they have to trans the kids too.
00:17:58.160 There are people who are in the middle
00:17:59.240 and centrists who say,
00:18:00.340 come on, look,
00:18:00.980 if an adult wants to chop his genitals off,
00:18:02.580 that's fine,
00:18:03.040 just don't make the kids do it.
00:18:05.040 But they have to make the kids do it
00:18:07.040 because if they don't have the kids do it,
00:18:10.700 then they are admitting
00:18:11.540 that it doesn't really make a lot of sense
00:18:13.560 and it's actually probably disordered and wrong
00:18:16.280 and you've at least got to wait for,
00:18:17.800 if a kid's going to do something so destructive
00:18:19.600 as chopping his own genitals off,
00:18:20.860 he shouldn't do it when he's 12,
00:18:22.900 he should at least wait
00:18:23.580 until he's 18 or 21 or something.
00:18:26.140 But if it's very likely disordered
00:18:28.980 and destructive and all those things,
00:18:31.160 then the adult shouldn't be doing it either.
00:18:34.540 Okay, what the libs are doing here
00:18:36.280 is just taking their own premises
00:18:38.300 to their logical conclusions.
00:18:41.040 Men can really be women,
00:18:42.120 women can really be men.
00:18:43.300 If a man or woman is sexually confused,
00:18:45.020 they should chop off their genitals.
00:18:46.160 Okay, if that's the premise,
00:18:48.320 then absolutely,
00:18:49.320 you've got to take it all the way
00:18:50.940 and kids should do it too.
00:18:51.920 Frankly, kids especially should do it
00:18:53.740 because once puberty sets in,
00:18:56.380 it's going to be a lot harder
00:18:57.260 to, through plastic surgery,
00:18:59.220 make yourself look like the opposite sex.
00:19:01.880 And that's the argument
00:19:03.080 that the honest libs are making right now.
00:19:05.400 And it makes sense.
00:19:06.340 The problem with it
00:19:07.080 is that the premise is wrong.
00:19:09.060 The problem with it
00:19:10.120 is that the premise
00:19:10.980 that boys can really be girls,
00:19:12.460 that's a wrong premise.
00:19:13.580 The problem with the pride parade here
00:19:14.920 is that the premise
00:19:16.200 that the pride parade
00:19:16.920 is wholesome family fun
00:19:17.720 is just wrong.
00:19:18.300 It's not.
00:19:19.440 It's a sexual show.
00:19:22.460 So you might say,
00:19:23.360 okay, if you don't want to ban it,
00:19:24.600 if you don't want to make it,
00:19:25.800 pass a law against
00:19:26.680 these weird sex shows,
00:19:27.900 fine, they should be
00:19:28.800 in the back, dark,
00:19:30.680 dingy nightclubs,
00:19:31.740 in back, dark, dingy alleys
00:19:33.500 of the neighborhoods
00:19:34.480 that the wholesome people
00:19:35.800 don't go to.
00:19:36.940 Okay?
00:19:37.480 And there have been shows
00:19:38.420 in those neighborhoods forever.
00:19:40.240 But there have been weird things
00:19:42.600 on the fringes of society
00:19:43.680 since time immemorial.
00:19:44.660 But you really get into trouble
00:19:47.140 when you take those things
00:19:48.380 that are on the fringes
00:19:49.060 of society
00:19:49.520 and put them right
00:19:50.000 into the center,
00:19:50.600 right into the middle
00:19:51.100 of the town square.
00:19:52.220 That's just absurd.
00:19:53.840 That goes way beyond tolerance.
00:19:55.760 That takes tolerance
00:19:57.520 into the realm,
00:19:59.080 truly into the realm
00:19:59.940 of the absurd.
00:20:01.460 So the libs have to double down
00:20:02.820 on all this stuff.
00:20:03.560 And they're doubling down,
00:20:04.720 speaking of our friends
00:20:05.520 in the United Kingdom,
00:20:06.460 they're doubling down
00:20:07.200 by turning a beloved
00:20:08.060 British children's cartoon
00:20:09.480 gay as well.
00:20:11.640 Peppa Pig.
00:20:12.800 I've never watched Peppa Pig.
00:20:14.820 I guess I could have started
00:20:15.780 to watch it
00:20:16.320 with my children soon,
00:20:17.820 but I now have no intention
00:20:18.900 of doing that.
00:20:19.840 Peppa Pig has gone gay.
00:20:22.400 Everything else is gay,
00:20:23.280 so Peppa Pig has gone gay too.
00:20:25.680 Critics have apparently
00:20:26.620 taken issue with Peppa Pig
00:20:27.820 because it glorifies the family.
00:20:30.580 And by the family,
00:20:31.360 I mean what is now
00:20:32.280 called the traditional family.
00:20:34.800 I just call it the family,
00:20:35.880 but it's the traditional family.
00:20:37.000 You know, mommy and daddy
00:20:38.160 and the kids
00:20:38.760 and they live together
00:20:39.700 and they are educated together
00:20:42.940 and they, you know,
00:20:44.100 have dinners together
00:20:45.100 and they function as a family.
00:20:47.480 Well, some critics
00:20:48.620 have taken issue with that
00:20:49.760 because on the left,
00:20:51.900 they want to destroy the family
00:20:53.120 because the family
00:20:54.060 is a great impediment
00:20:54.900 to their cultural
00:20:55.620 and political revolutions.
00:20:57.360 So in 2019,
00:20:58.500 they started a petition
00:20:59.560 that demanded
00:21:00.660 that the series creators
00:21:02.360 add a same-sex couple.
00:21:04.560 Not just a same-sex couple,
00:21:05.860 by the way,
00:21:06.140 a same-sex couple
00:21:06.760 with adopted
00:21:08.740 or surrogate children.
00:21:09.780 I don't know how
00:21:10.100 they got children,
00:21:10.820 but with children.
00:21:12.220 You know,
00:21:12.340 they want to create
00:21:13.100 this kind of mimicry,
00:21:15.580 this imitation of a family
00:21:18.720 with all the kind of
00:21:19.800 sexual revolution stuff
00:21:20.920 built in.
00:21:21.880 And so they start
00:21:22.480 this petition.
00:21:23.180 It obviously has nothing
00:21:23.940 to do with the plot line
00:21:25.540 of the show.
00:21:26.260 They just demand it
00:21:27.160 because it will make them
00:21:28.020 feel better about their own
00:21:29.140 sort of sexual ideologies
00:21:30.860 and delusions.
00:21:32.260 The petition has garnered
00:21:33.400 over 23,000 signatures
00:21:34.840 and now Peppa Pig
00:21:37.300 has given in.
00:21:38.640 They introduced
00:21:39.340 a lesbian couple
00:21:41.320 and then the little,
00:21:42.700 the little baby Peppa Pig
00:21:45.780 says, quote,
00:21:47.180 I live with my mummy
00:21:48.400 and my other mummy.
00:21:50.320 So the reaction from this
00:21:51.560 that you're going to hear
00:21:52.240 from not just the conservatives,
00:21:53.700 but from the centrist people
00:21:55.280 and the independent people
00:21:56.640 and the ones who,
00:21:58.340 maybe even their center left,
00:21:59.320 and they say,
00:21:59.720 why does everything
00:22:00.880 have to be so political?
00:22:02.000 Why does everything
00:22:02.720 have to be so woke?
00:22:04.340 Come on.
00:22:05.560 Why, why did,
00:22:06.780 can't you leave
00:22:07.660 the cartoons alone?
00:22:08.540 This is a very common refrain
00:22:09.880 that you hear
00:22:10.380 from very reasonable people.
00:22:11.740 But there's an answer to it.
00:22:12.940 Why does everything
00:22:13.780 have to be woke?
00:22:15.660 Because you won't stop it.
00:22:18.100 That's why.
00:22:19.880 Because in politics,
00:22:21.460 the people who want something
00:22:23.200 are always going to win
00:22:25.360 against the people
00:22:26.500 who are indifferent.
00:22:28.240 That's why.
00:22:30.600 Because the people
00:22:32.200 who,
00:22:33.480 for whatever ideological
00:22:35.000 or sexual
00:22:36.460 or appetitive reasons,
00:22:38.260 want there to be
00:22:39.300 a couple of lesbians
00:22:40.280 on this kid's cartoon,
00:22:42.160 they're willing
00:22:43.660 to just go out there
00:22:44.680 and whine
00:22:45.500 and whine
00:22:46.220 and complain
00:22:46.980 and beg
00:22:47.840 and shout
00:22:48.400 and boycott
00:22:49.100 and do whatever.
00:22:50.860 And the people
00:22:51.520 who don't want that
00:22:52.340 very often
00:22:53.480 are not even willing
00:22:54.200 to make an argument
00:22:54.880 against it.
00:22:55.480 Why should there not be
00:22:58.960 a lesbian couple
00:22:59.900 with kids
00:23:00.640 on the children's cartoon?
00:23:03.280 The answer is
00:23:04.300 because it's disordered.
00:23:05.620 It's very disordered
00:23:06.800 and two ladies
00:23:07.720 cannot create a child together.
00:23:09.560 And so the only way
00:23:10.180 to do that
00:23:10.760 is by reordering
00:23:12.000 our adoption system
00:23:13.100 or creating
00:23:14.980 all sorts of
00:23:16.300 new bioethical concerns
00:23:17.500 through surrogacy
00:23:18.860 and in vitro fertilization
00:23:21.260 and buying a man's sperm
00:23:22.560 and renting a woman's womb
00:23:23.680 and all the rest of it.
00:23:24.400 And it's all disordered
00:23:25.820 and it's wrong
00:23:26.620 and it's morally unacceptable
00:23:28.640 and that's why
00:23:29.880 it shouldn't be there.
00:23:31.940 Very few conservatives
00:23:32.960 are willing to say that
00:23:33.860 because they don't want
00:23:35.220 to be called phobic
00:23:36.060 or bigoted
00:23:36.780 or intolerant
00:23:37.820 or whatever.
00:23:38.720 And so they don't want
00:23:39.280 to say that.
00:23:39.660 All the conservatives
00:23:40.420 are going to say is,
00:23:41.800 come on,
00:23:42.640 don't you think,
00:23:44.180 why does it,
00:23:44.680 why has it got to be so woke?
00:23:45.980 It's got to be so woke
00:23:46.840 because you won't articulate
00:23:47.760 the argument against it
00:23:48.820 and you won't sign any petitions
00:23:49.920 and you won't demand it.
00:23:50.860 And so the people
00:23:51.320 who are motivated
00:23:52.440 and who are eager
00:23:53.440 and who do have a plan
00:23:54.720 and a vision for society,
00:23:55.880 they're the ones
00:23:56.480 who are going to win.
00:23:58.360 And these kind of
00:23:59.580 pathetic platitudes
00:24:00.620 for neutrality
00:24:01.800 or just come on,
00:24:02.780 let's slow things down
00:24:03.880 or hey,
00:24:04.420 let's leave the kids alone.
00:24:05.620 It's not going to go anywhere.
00:24:08.040 Everything has to be so woke
00:24:10.280 because the woke people
00:24:12.880 can get away with it.
00:24:14.500 That's why.
00:24:15.580 They can get away with it
00:24:16.380 because you let them get it.
00:24:17.440 We got a story
00:24:18.300 from social media
00:24:20.140 that's just once again
00:24:21.760 the woke people
00:24:23.600 getting away with it.
00:24:26.480 Headline here
00:24:27.280 on Axios.
00:24:30.980 Sort of a center left
00:24:32.860 outlet.
00:24:35.060 Scoop.
00:24:36.420 Snaps.
00:24:37.420 Snapchat.
00:24:38.280 Snaps political data slip.
00:24:41.920 Okay.
00:24:42.660 Here's how they describe it.
00:24:43.920 A slip-up
00:24:45.600 by social media giant Snap
00:24:47.480 allowed leading
00:24:48.700 Democratic campaigns
00:24:49.960 and party committees
00:24:50.820 to unwittingly tap
00:24:52.100 into a vast repository
00:24:53.300 of Republican voter data
00:24:55.180 to hone their midterm ads.
00:24:57.740 Oops.
00:24:59.520 Ah, darn.
00:25:01.160 Oh, I just,
00:25:02.120 those darn slip-ups.
00:25:03.920 Those darn slip-ups,
00:25:05.460 they're so frustrating
00:25:06.260 because they're always made
00:25:07.580 so unwittingly,
00:25:08.600 aren't they?
00:25:09.440 And it's just such a weird,
00:25:11.860 unwitting coincidence.
00:25:13.920 That the slip-ups
00:25:14.860 always benefit the Democrats
00:25:16.680 and they never benefit
00:25:18.400 the Republicans.
00:25:19.560 Oops.
00:25:20.420 Oopsie-daisy.
00:25:22.260 Yeah,
00:25:22.800 the FBI got the FISA warrant wrong
00:25:25.140 and they actually didn't,
00:25:26.540 yeah,
00:25:26.780 they didn't have any reason
00:25:27.780 to spy on the Trump campaign.
00:25:29.240 That was a big mistake.
00:25:30.320 Our bad.
00:25:31.700 Yeah, our bad.
00:25:32.420 We totally won't do this again.
00:25:33.740 Whoopsie-daisy.
00:25:35.740 Oops.
00:25:36.740 Hillary Clinton
00:25:37.300 had a private email server
00:25:38.480 where she had classified information
00:25:39.980 and at the same time
00:25:41.060 she was raising a ton of money
00:25:42.280 from foreign governments.
00:25:43.920 For her own personal charity,
00:25:45.740 charity,
00:25:46.220 quote unquote,
00:25:46.720 to pay her own bills.
00:25:47.580 Oops.
00:25:49.400 Oopsie-daisy.
00:25:50.180 No big deal.
00:25:51.760 Whoops.
00:25:52.240 What a slip-up.
00:25:53.060 We won't let that happen again.
00:25:56.240 Oh, by the way,
00:25:57.160 oops,
00:25:57.680 former President Trump
00:25:58.600 took some documents
00:25:59.380 from the White House
00:26:00.080 as lots of presidents have done.
00:26:01.660 Yeah,
00:26:01.800 we're gonna kick in his door.
00:26:02.960 We're not letting that slip-up go through.
00:26:04.440 Uh-uh.
00:26:05.540 No siree.
00:26:07.760 We caught that mistake.
00:26:09.160 We just don't catch it
00:26:09.980 when social media companies
00:26:11.320 give Democrats
00:26:11.940 a major advantage
00:26:12.740 in the elections.
00:26:15.760 Oopsie.
00:26:17.440 I think those slip-ups
00:26:18.500 are gonna keep happening.
00:26:19.520 They're gonna keep
00:26:20.000 unwittingly happening
00:26:21.060 unless we stop them.
00:26:23.640 Unless we,
00:26:25.560 on the happy occasions
00:26:26.400 that we can get
00:26:27.060 any political power,
00:26:28.340 and it's always gonna be
00:26:29.060 an uphill battle,
00:26:30.160 because,
00:26:30.900 let's say the Republicans
00:26:31.840 retake the House.
00:26:32.960 Maybe there's a shout
00:26:33.820 we retake the Senate.
00:26:35.620 We're still not gonna have
00:26:36.660 the bureaucracy.
00:26:37.600 We're not gonna have
00:26:38.220 the presidency.
00:26:39.220 We sort of have
00:26:40.200 the Supreme Court,
00:26:41.000 but it's marginal.
00:26:42.920 We don't have the media.
00:26:44.300 We don't have big tech.
00:26:44.980 We don't have the universities.
00:26:46.200 We don't have really
00:26:47.140 any of the other power centers.
00:26:49.460 But,
00:26:50.500 okay,
00:26:50.880 we can get a little bit
00:26:51.580 of the government.
00:26:53.040 We have to wield that power.
00:26:55.160 We have to wield
00:26:55.920 the force
00:26:56.800 of big government.
00:26:58.640 I know this will make
00:26:59.820 certain American conservatives
00:27:01.280 feel uneasy,
00:27:02.340 but we have to wield
00:27:02.920 the force of big government
00:27:03.880 against our political adversaries
00:27:05.620 in a just way,
00:27:06.440 in a moral way,
00:27:07.000 in an appropriate way.
00:27:07.780 But we have to do it
00:27:08.680 because these slip-ups
00:27:09.620 are not just.
00:27:10.360 These slip-ups
00:27:10.920 are not appropriate.
00:27:12.520 These slip-ups
00:27:13.040 are not moral.
00:27:13.860 You can't have a good system
00:27:14.720 with these slip-ups.
00:27:15.420 The slip-ups aren't slip-ups.
00:27:17.540 Okay?
00:27:17.860 They're just Democrats
00:27:18.700 taking advantage
00:27:19.520 because they know
00:27:20.040 they can get away with it.
00:27:21.820 Speaking of slip-ups,
00:27:23.660 you might recall,
00:27:25.180 what was this,
00:27:26.320 a week or two ago,
00:27:27.420 there was a trade show,
00:27:29.100 trade conference
00:27:29.720 for podcasting
00:27:30.740 called Podcast Movement
00:27:32.260 that held its convention
00:27:34.140 and since the Daily Wire
00:27:36.260 is the sixth largest
00:27:37.300 publishing network
00:27:38.240 in the world
00:27:38.840 and since Ben Shapiro
00:27:40.960 in particular
00:27:41.480 is always in one
00:27:42.720 of the very
00:27:43.180 tippy-top ranked podcasts,
00:27:44.720 but all of our shows
00:27:45.680 consistently chart
00:27:47.240 very, very high up
00:27:48.380 in podcasting
00:27:50.240 among all shows,
00:27:52.260 not just among
00:27:52.700 political shows
00:27:53.260 or conservative shows.
00:27:54.160 Because of that,
00:27:55.880 the Daily Wire
00:27:56.500 had a booth there
00:27:57.480 and Ben showed up
00:27:58.380 and took some pictures
00:27:59.580 with some fans
00:28:00.420 who were at the Podcast Movement
00:28:01.900 and then he walked out.
00:28:02.900 That was it.
00:28:03.640 And Podcast Movement
00:28:04.240 issued this long condemnation
00:28:07.080 of Ben and Daily Wire
00:28:08.960 and said it's unacceptable
00:28:09.940 and, you know,
00:28:10.800 people felt unsafe
00:28:12.040 and, you know,
00:28:12.800 it was really,
00:28:13.820 really bizarre
00:28:15.800 kind of behavior
00:28:16.840 and really wrong.
00:28:19.860 Well, I've got
00:28:20.480 some good news
00:28:21.700 on that front.
00:28:24.140 Podcast Movement
00:28:25.100 then posted,
00:28:27.600 they said,
00:28:28.140 we're listening
00:28:28.500 to the Podcast Movement
00:28:29.300 community,
00:28:30.560 we're putting in place
00:28:31.240 policies to guide
00:28:32.200 our social media
00:28:32.900 with inclusivity
00:28:33.840 and diversity
00:28:34.480 and respect.
00:28:35.060 It's a journey, right?
00:28:35.940 That was part of
00:28:37.200 their condemnation of Ben.
00:28:38.700 But then they just,
00:28:39.680 just yesterday,
00:28:40.420 tweeted out,
00:28:40.940 quote,
00:28:41.600 as we stated,
00:28:42.840 we're continuing
00:28:43.480 to evaluate our policies
00:28:44.860 guiding social media
00:28:45.740 and events
00:28:46.480 with inclusivity,
00:28:47.320 diversity,
00:28:47.640 and respect for all.
00:28:48.520 We have to start
00:28:49.380 by sincerely apologizing
00:28:51.200 to Mr. Shapiro
00:28:52.420 for our reaction
00:28:53.520 when he visited
00:28:54.480 a booth we sold
00:28:55.320 to his company.
00:28:56.440 That wasn't right.
00:28:57.460 And that's all true.
00:29:02.180 That's good.
00:29:02.700 And I also know
00:29:04.100 that the president
00:29:05.100 of Podcast Movement
00:29:05.840 did call Jeremy
00:29:06.860 and made very,
00:29:07.920 very clear
00:29:08.300 that the behavior
00:29:10.100 of Podcast Movement
00:29:10.800 was unacceptable.
00:29:12.420 And he,
00:29:13.080 you know,
00:29:13.860 he took it like a man,
00:29:15.400 the president
00:29:15.840 of Podcast Movement,
00:29:16.600 and he called
00:29:17.180 and he did the right thing
00:29:18.520 and he apologized
00:29:19.500 and he said what they did
00:29:20.480 was just totally wrong.
00:29:22.080 And so my reaction here,
00:29:24.160 I know that some people
00:29:25.600 would like to,
00:29:26.400 you know,
00:29:27.060 double down
00:29:28.060 and keep hitting
00:29:28.880 Podcast Movement.
00:29:29.540 But I think we live
00:29:30.380 in an age
00:29:30.880 that is so graceless
00:29:32.860 and where no one
00:29:34.580 ever gets to
00:29:35.980 hear a sincere apology
00:29:38.560 or no one usually
00:29:39.840 accepts a sincere apology.
00:29:41.120 So I think it's good.
00:29:42.780 I'm glad Podcast Movement
00:29:43.780 apologized.
00:29:45.100 We accept the apology.
00:29:46.840 Good.
00:29:47.460 That's good.
00:29:47.760 They did the right thing.
00:29:49.560 I appreciate that
00:29:50.300 they did the right thing.
00:29:52.000 So people very rarely
00:29:53.380 do the right thing anymore.
00:29:54.320 They just double down
00:29:55.260 when they're so obviously wrong.
00:29:56.960 And so that's good.
00:29:58.380 I appreciate that.
00:29:59.180 I think it's very big
00:30:00.000 of Podcast Movement
00:30:01.020 to do that.
00:30:02.040 And I'm pleased to see it.
00:30:03.120 Not just for us,
00:30:04.320 but for what it means
00:30:05.300 for conservatives
00:30:06.000 in the podcasting space
00:30:07.560 and in the culture
00:30:10.720 and in the public square.
00:30:11.700 So good stuff.
00:30:13.120 Appreciate that.
00:30:14.280 Good job, Podcast Movement.
00:30:16.100 Speaking of double standards,
00:30:18.600 this is a really crazy story.
00:30:21.140 A Democrat public official
00:30:25.480 has just been arrested
00:30:27.360 on suspicion of murdering
00:30:29.420 a reporter.
00:30:31.000 And you probably haven't heard
00:30:32.860 anything about this story.
00:30:35.760 There was a story,
00:30:37.140 I saw the headlines the other day
00:30:38.280 in maybe some conservative outlets
00:30:40.280 that a reporter from Nevada
00:30:42.400 who some said had been
00:30:43.920 doing a report on that shooting
00:30:46.700 in Las Vegas,
00:30:47.680 but I'm not sure that
00:30:48.440 that was necessarily the key.
00:30:49.820 The reporter just generally
00:30:50.880 had been investigating
00:30:52.280 crime and corruption.
00:30:54.300 This guy ended up murdered.
00:30:57.080 And now the chief suspect
00:30:59.020 is this Clark County
00:31:01.040 Democrat official
00:31:02.420 whose DNA was found at the scene.
00:31:07.860 The guy is the Clark County
00:31:09.540 public administrator,
00:31:10.520 Robert Telles.
00:31:12.060 He was just booked.
00:31:12.980 I mentioned the story
00:31:16.260 because we talked about
00:31:19.520 the double standards yesterday
00:31:21.140 on racism.
00:31:23.140 You know, the libs,
00:31:24.600 when they use this phrase,
00:31:26.580 racism,
00:31:27.760 it doesn't mean anything.
00:31:29.460 Whatever racism could possibly mean,
00:31:31.260 they're much more guilty of it
00:31:32.340 than the Republicans.
00:31:33.420 And the Republicans
00:31:33.940 sort of fecklessly say,
00:31:34.960 no, no, you're the real racist
00:31:36.080 and it doesn't matter.
00:31:37.120 You're the hypocrites.
00:31:38.020 Yeah, okay,
00:31:38.420 they know that.
00:31:39.100 They don't care, okay?
00:31:40.920 They're going to do it anyway
00:31:42.060 because they can get
00:31:42.720 an advantage over you.
00:31:44.040 Same thing with political violence.
00:31:45.360 The libs decry political violence.
00:31:46.540 They commit much,
00:31:47.240 much more political violence
00:31:48.060 than the conservatives have,
00:31:49.900 even just in the last few years.
00:31:51.600 Again,
00:31:51.900 we point out the double standard.
00:31:52.920 Nobody really cares.
00:31:54.620 Well,
00:31:54.820 I would like to point it out
00:31:56.320 just again,
00:31:57.440 only for the conservatives
00:31:58.500 to realize this.
00:31:59.380 It's true on journalism too.
00:32:00.700 The libs attack journalists
00:32:02.320 much more than the conservatives do.
00:32:04.060 The Obama administration
00:32:04.860 was very, very tough on journalists.
00:32:07.240 We remember really bizarre
00:32:09.580 political pressure
00:32:10.280 on reporters like James Rosen
00:32:11.700 or Sheryl Atkinson.
00:32:13.880 But now we're seeing
00:32:14.820 this Democrat official
00:32:15.560 murdering an investigative reporter
00:32:19.160 for looking into corruption.
00:32:21.620 I mention it not because I think
00:32:23.520 that pointing out the double standard
00:32:24.700 is finally going to shift the narrative.
00:32:25.840 No, I don't think it will.
00:32:26.820 I mention it just as a little encouragement
00:32:28.920 to conservatives
00:32:29.600 and to people in the center.
00:32:31.640 When the libs start getting
00:32:32.660 on their soapbox
00:32:33.440 about how the Republicans
00:32:34.780 are threatening a free press,
00:32:36.160 just remember,
00:32:36.680 it's completely bogus.
00:32:37.780 It's a pointless argument.
00:32:39.460 It's not true.
00:32:40.320 Anything that they are saying
00:32:41.540 about the Republicans,
00:32:42.560 they are projecting.
00:32:43.500 They are confessing
00:32:44.240 what they themselves are doing.
00:32:45.920 So just ignore it.
00:32:47.400 I'm not encouraging people
00:32:48.560 to just go out
00:32:49.820 and point out the hypocrisy
00:32:51.020 and that's how we're going
00:32:52.160 to win the argument.
00:32:52.680 No, that's not going to happen.
00:32:53.560 They don't care.
00:32:54.180 They know about the hypocrisy.
00:32:55.300 They just want to get one over on us.
00:32:57.000 But I'm saying this
00:32:57.820 as a word of encouragement
00:32:58.580 to the Republicans.
00:32:59.120 Just ignore it.
00:33:00.200 It means nothing.
00:33:01.440 It's just a cheap political lie.
00:33:04.020 Move on, okay?
00:33:05.360 These guys are just trying
00:33:07.980 to take advantage of you.
00:33:10.480 Now, I'm very, very excited
00:33:12.760 that we will get to
00:33:14.100 my absolute favorite time
00:33:15.640 of the week
00:33:16.220 when I get to hear
00:33:17.680 from all of you

00:33:26.060 Let's take it away
00:33:27.000 with the voicemail bag.
00:33:29.720 Hello, Michael.
00:33:31.380 I'll save you the backstory,
00:33:33.280 but my wife and I
00:33:34.300 were recently discussing
00:33:35.260 what we would like
00:33:35.980 to happen with our bodies
00:33:37.160 after we die,
00:33:38.520 be it burial, cremation,
00:33:40.320 or something else.
00:33:41.580 I'm curious about
00:33:42.540 what option you think
00:33:43.760 is best.
00:33:44.940 I'd assume you're a proponent
00:33:46.180 of traditional burials.
00:33:48.040 Maybe there's a Catholic
00:33:49.960 teaching behind that
00:33:50.860 I'm unaware of.
00:33:51.860 Anyway,
00:33:53.440 if my assumption
00:33:54.300 is correct,
00:33:55.260 I'd like to know
00:33:56.720 why you think that way
00:33:57.960 and what reasons
00:33:59.340 there are behind
00:34:00.320 being against cremation,
00:34:03.300 for example.
00:34:04.840 And if I'm wrong,
00:34:06.300 I'd be surprised,
00:34:07.940 but if you do think differently,
00:34:09.380 then please elaborate.
00:34:11.080 Thanks, Michael.
00:34:12.520 Yes, I'm very much
00:34:13.880 against cremation.
00:34:15.060 I am for burial
00:34:16.500 or a mausoleum
00:34:17.620 if you want to get fancy,
00:34:19.020 but I'm very much
00:34:20.080 against cremation.
00:34:21.800 The church traditionally
00:34:23.420 opposed cremation
00:34:25.100 and forbade it.
00:34:27.200 In recent years,
00:34:29.180 they've gone softer
00:34:30.420 on cremation,
00:34:31.380 but I still oppose it.
00:34:33.520 And the reason I oppose it
00:34:34.820 is because it makes a mockery
00:34:36.840 of the resurrection
00:34:37.400 of the body.
00:34:38.360 If you are a Christian,
00:34:40.280 you believe in the resurrection
00:34:41.440 of the body,
00:34:42.120 not just that we're going
00:34:43.360 to go to heaven,
00:34:44.000 not just that our souls
00:34:44.760 will be at peace
00:34:45.500 and that we will behold
00:34:46.560 the face of our creator
00:34:47.680 in the beatific vision.
00:34:49.280 You believe in the
00:34:50.540 actual resurrection
00:34:51.800 of the body.
00:34:53.440 And this is very important
00:34:54.520 to the way that we,
00:34:55.460 well, the way that we view
00:34:56.380 our bodies and our own behaviors
00:34:57.660 and the way that we view
00:34:58.700 creation in the world.
00:35:00.160 That we're not just
00:35:00.900 disembodied spirits,
00:35:01.740 but the body really matters too.
00:35:03.400 And the body and soul
00:35:04.360 and spirit are united
00:35:05.540 inextricably during our lives.
00:35:07.240 They are separated
00:35:08.060 at the moment of our death,
00:35:09.120 but that our bodies
00:35:09.960 will be resurrected.
00:35:11.420 And so,
00:35:12.540 I'm not making
00:35:13.420 any eschatological claims
00:35:15.640 about what it means
00:35:16.740 if one is cremated
00:35:18.760 in the resurrection
00:35:19.680 of the body.
00:35:20.420 I am just pointing out
00:35:21.640 as a matter of symbolism
00:35:23.280 and the ritual
00:35:26.320 and the way that we treat
00:35:31.200 our bodies in the creative world,
00:35:32.580 the way that we interact
00:35:33.880 with the physical things
00:35:34.940 of this world.
00:35:35.980 To cremate oneself
00:35:38.100 is to mock
00:35:39.060 the resurrection of the body.
00:35:40.100 And so,
00:35:40.500 I would strongly advise
00:35:42.000 against it.
00:35:42.700 Next question.
00:35:44.900 Mr. Nostradamus,
00:35:46.140 this is Smiling Sam Alvey.
00:35:47.760 I was listening to your show
00:35:49.000 while driving my kids
00:35:49.920 to their private school
00:35:50.620 because we are done
00:35:51.300 with the public school system.
00:35:52.680 My little girl,
00:35:53.420 nine years old,
00:35:54.360 she was listening to you
00:35:55.460 as we do most mornings
00:35:56.940 and you started talking
00:35:57.820 about eating bugs
00:35:58.700 and how delicious
00:35:59.920 they're supposed to be
00:36:00.960 and stuff like that.
00:36:02.180 That got her interested.
00:36:03.360 That piqued her interest.
00:36:04.680 And so,
00:36:05.060 she asked,
00:36:05.400 Daddy,
00:36:06.220 they want us to eat bugs?
00:36:07.460 And I said,
00:36:07.920 oh, yes they do.
00:36:09.380 And then turned into
00:36:10.480 a whole conversation
00:36:11.380 about how cows
00:36:12.560 fart and causes
00:36:13.400 global warming
00:36:14.100 and how everything
00:36:14.780 they do is just
00:36:15.580 to try and find a way
00:36:16.420 to control us
00:36:17.100 similar to the masks.
00:36:18.620 They know they don't
00:36:19.460 taste good
00:36:19.920 but they're going
00:36:20.280 to force us to eat it
00:36:21.060 just so they can say
00:36:21.880 that they forced us
00:36:22.720 to do it.
00:36:23.280 And she looked up
00:36:24.000 and said,
00:36:24.800 well, Daddy,
00:36:26.120 Joe Biden's not
00:36:27.120 going to eat bugs,
00:36:27.880 is he?
00:36:28.340 And I could not
00:36:29.420 have been more proud.
00:36:30.820 It was a moment of,
00:36:32.260 oh, she connected
00:36:33.060 the dots.
00:36:33.740 She knows that
00:36:34.440 those in charge
00:36:35.660 aren't going to eat bugs.
00:36:36.600 They're just going
00:36:37.220 to make us eat bugs
00:36:38.060 or try to anyways.
00:36:39.120 I guess I always knew
00:36:40.120 I was going to have
00:36:40.720 that time
00:36:41.240 where I had to talk
00:36:41.820 about the birds
00:36:42.380 and the bees
00:36:42.700 to my daughter.
00:36:43.740 But I guess
00:36:44.300 it was today
00:36:45.180 but not the birds
00:36:46.280 and the bees.
00:36:46.960 It was the bugs
00:36:47.480 and the bees.
00:36:47.840 The bugs and the bees.
00:36:48.440 Thank you for your work
00:36:49.300 and we'll keep listening.
00:36:51.460 Smiling Sam Alvey.
00:36:52.480 All right.
00:36:53.120 Your daughter
00:36:53.780 is very insightful,
00:36:55.680 obviously.
00:36:56.100 Yes, the elites
00:36:59.260 who want to get us
00:37:00.380 all to eat bugs,
00:37:01.600 they will be eating
00:37:02.420 filet mignon.
00:37:03.080 That is true.
00:37:04.260 As a general rule,
00:37:05.780 that is true.
00:37:07.320 And there's a caveat
00:37:09.100 to this.
00:37:11.060 I don't think
00:37:11.980 that the elites
00:37:12.560 regularly will eat bugs,
00:37:14.340 but I do think
00:37:15.220 that they will
00:37:15.960 temporarily
00:37:18.300 or infrequently
00:37:21.600 or even as a matter
00:37:22.820 of initiation
00:37:23.440 eat the bugs.
00:37:24.320 I think they will do it.
00:37:24.980 You think of
00:37:25.780 that actress.
00:37:28.000 What is her name?
00:37:28.840 The one who was married
00:37:29.400 to Tom Cruise.
00:37:30.960 I forget.
00:37:31.620 She just did a whole video
00:37:32.640 where she came out
00:37:34.460 and ate a bunch of bugs
00:37:35.380 and it was disgusting.
00:37:36.660 You sometimes see
00:37:37.600 Bill Gates
00:37:38.600 came out
00:37:39.860 and I think it was
00:37:40.820 he drank a glass of water
00:37:42.060 that came out of
00:37:43.600 fecal matter
00:37:45.040 or some of the,
00:37:45.920 just some of the,
00:37:46.700 all of these gross things.
00:37:47.660 Eating the bugs,
00:37:48.660 living in excrement,
00:37:49.680 all of this gross stuff.
00:37:51.700 Sometimes the elites
00:37:52.840 themselves
00:37:53.560 do it.
00:37:54.980 And they do it
00:37:56.000 in order to shatter
00:37:57.560 a taboo.
00:37:58.240 They do it
00:37:58.640 for the same reason
00:37:59.480 that fraternities
00:38:01.300 haze their pledges.
00:38:03.400 Okay,
00:38:03.640 they do it
00:38:04.320 because
00:38:04.960 it,
00:38:05.860 it is a way
00:38:07.280 to express
00:38:08.100 and actually reinforce
00:38:09.500 one's commitment
00:38:10.740 to a group
00:38:11.680 or to a secret society
00:38:13.680 or to a cult,
00:38:14.560 which is probably
00:38:15.180 more like it.
00:38:16.560 So that is the reason.
00:38:17.760 Why are they,
00:38:18.260 why are they forcing
00:38:19.000 us to eat the bugs?
00:38:20.900 It's,
00:38:21.380 it's not that
00:38:22.540 they're thinking,
00:38:23.680 look,
00:38:23.880 we need new sources
00:38:24.760 of protein
00:38:25.320 and yes,
00:38:26.120 the bugs are gross,
00:38:27.060 but that's what
00:38:27.580 we have to do
00:38:28.200 in order to get
00:38:28.680 the protein.
00:38:29.620 It's,
00:38:29.860 it's actually
00:38:30.200 the other way around.
00:38:31.160 They're saying,
00:38:31.680 man,
00:38:31.920 we have a taboo
00:38:32.620 in our culture
00:38:33.200 against eating bugs.
00:38:34.980 So if we want
00:38:35.760 to upend the culture,
00:38:36.960 we have to eat the bugs.
00:38:38.880 We actually,
00:38:39.580 we have to do it
00:38:40.320 because it is so gross.
00:38:42.600 That will break the taboos
00:38:44.600 because taboos
00:38:45.300 and standards
00:38:45.760 define cultures.
00:38:46.500 And so when you,
00:38:47.220 when you shatter them
00:38:48.600 and you reorder them,
00:38:49.600 you are reordering
00:38:50.500 the culture
00:38:50.920 in a very,
00:38:51.700 very profound way.
00:38:52.580 That's a lot
00:38:53.420 of what's going on
00:38:54.080 with the bug eating
00:38:54.860 and the protein
00:38:56.500 and the efficiency
00:38:57.280 and getting all
00:38:57.940 the poor masses
00:38:58.740 to eat cheaper
00:38:59.900 sources of protein
00:39:00.780 and,
00:39:01.760 and creating
00:39:02.760 even greater inequality
00:39:04.720 between the poor
00:39:05.520 and the elites.
00:39:06.300 That,
00:39:06.720 that goes along with it,
00:39:07.900 but I think the taboos
00:39:08.760 are really central to it.
00:39:09.740 Okay,
00:39:09.940 next question.
00:39:10.440 Hey,
00:39:11.720 Noel's Pete calling
00:39:13.060 from Nova Scotia,
00:39:15.180 Canada.
00:39:15.840 I work outdoors
00:39:17.500 at night
00:39:18.280 in utter darkness
00:39:19.840 at a golf course,
00:39:21.700 watering mostly,
00:39:22.660 not that you ask,
00:39:23.740 but I do have a request.
00:39:26.660 Hey,
00:39:27.400 let's cool it on the
00:39:28.660 demons are everywhere
00:39:29.940 all the time
00:39:30.960 and out to get you rhetoric.
00:39:34.020 Oh,
00:39:34.660 okay.
00:39:35.040 I'm getting a little
00:39:35.460 freaked out out here.
00:39:36.280 I'm pretty sure
00:39:36.760 I just saw Belphegor
00:39:38.840 and three lesser demons
00:39:40.300 teeing off on four here.
00:39:41.840 Okay,
00:39:42.440 let's cool it down
00:39:43.220 to shade.
00:39:44.020 Thanks a lot,
00:39:44.520 my friend.
00:39:44.880 You're doing a great job.
00:39:46.020 Always enjoy listening to you.
00:39:46.980 Bye-bye now.
00:39:48.060 An understandable objection,
00:39:49.880 but I actually
00:39:50.800 have a different take on it.
00:39:53.500 When I was a teenager
00:39:56.080 in my atheist,
00:39:58.140 debauched,
00:39:59.300 degenerate years,
00:40:00.100 I was much more superstitious
00:40:03.280 than I am now.
00:40:04.500 I was much more spooked
00:40:06.260 by the demons
00:40:07.220 that I didn't think existed
00:40:08.540 than I am now
00:40:09.760 when I am convinced
00:40:10.560 that demons really do exist
00:40:11.840 and are surrounding us
00:40:12.540 all the time
00:40:13.020 because we are surrounded
00:40:14.860 by a battlefield.
00:40:18.160 We are actually in
00:40:19.600 a battlefield
00:40:20.440 of spiritual combat.
00:40:22.200 The reason is
00:40:23.480 because I believe
00:40:25.340 that Christ conquers
00:40:26.680 death and sin on the cross
00:40:27.740 and St. Michael
00:40:29.940 just stabs that dragon
00:40:31.780 with the sword
00:40:32.420 and Our Lady crushes
00:40:33.780 the serpent
00:40:34.200 underneath her heel
00:40:35.060 and I think the game
00:40:36.800 is won and Christ harrows hell
00:40:38.980 and so we're going to win.
00:40:40.480 I'm on the winning team
00:40:41.780 so I don't worry
00:40:42.980 about those stupid
00:40:43.620 little demons.
00:40:44.760 I think of St. John Vianney
00:40:46.260 who was tormented
00:40:47.700 by the devil
00:40:49.240 and he used to make fun
00:40:50.200 of the devil.
00:40:51.440 He's the patron
00:40:53.040 of parish priests
00:40:53.940 and he was in this little town
00:40:55.500 ours in France
00:40:56.420 and he was tormented
00:40:57.660 by the devil
00:40:58.100 and he would just
00:40:58.600 make fun of him.
00:40:59.260 He'd call him
00:40:59.520 this little stupid guy
00:41:01.180 this little grappin
00:41:02.080 there he is again
00:41:03.240 here we go
00:41:03.980 ignore him
00:41:05.760 no big deal
00:41:06.300 oh he set my bed on fire
00:41:07.220 okay no big deal
00:41:07.880 and I think
00:41:08.780 that's the right attitude.
00:41:10.680 I think
00:41:11.060 when people want to deny
00:41:13.340 dangers and realities
00:41:15.020 they actually
00:41:15.560 whether they're physical
00:41:16.600 or whether they're metaphysical
00:41:17.900 they tend to get
00:41:19.940 much more freaked out by it.
00:41:22.060 It kind of gets back
00:41:23.000 to that old saying
00:41:23.800 if you believe in nothing
00:41:26.120 you'll fall for anything.
00:41:28.200 But if you believe
00:41:28.780 in something
00:41:29.160 especially if you believe
00:41:30.080 in something true
00:41:30.720 then you'll be
00:41:32.020 much more grounded.
00:41:32.980 I just find
00:41:33.700 that the atheists
00:41:34.920 tend to be
00:41:35.460 the most superstitious
00:41:36.520 people on earth
00:41:37.720 and they'll fall
00:41:39.220 for any kind of
00:41:39.840 weird new age
00:41:40.880 manifesting
00:41:41.720 sending vibes
00:41:42.840 playing with my crystals
00:41:43.940 man kind of stuff
00:41:44.960 and it's the Christians
00:41:46.140 especially the Christians
00:41:46.860 who take the religion seriously
00:41:48.160 who are much more grounded
00:41:49.720 and you might expect
00:41:50.580 it to be the opposite.
00:41:51.760 You might expect
00:41:52.200 Christians
00:41:52.720 who believe in
00:41:53.760 God
00:41:54.740 and incarnation
00:41:55.980 and choirs of angels
00:41:57.460 and demons
00:41:58.760 trying to attack us
00:42:00.240 and take our soul
00:42:01.000 you might expect them
00:42:01.820 to be really really out there
00:42:03.180 but they're not.
00:42:03.960 I mean if you've just
00:42:04.460 ever spoken to
00:42:05.320 a serious Christian
00:42:07.360 who takes the religion
00:42:08.540 seriously
00:42:09.020 they're the least
00:42:09.900 superstitious people
00:42:11.000 on earth.
00:42:12.120 Okay
00:42:12.400 next question.
00:42:13.980 Hi Michael
00:42:15.900 thank you so much
00:42:16.720 for your advice
00:42:17.640 on volunteering
00:42:19.040 for a political campaign.
00:42:20.480 My uncle
00:42:21.340 is in the gun business
00:42:22.360 and has connections
00:42:23.080 with Andrew Clyde
00:42:23.960 who is campaigning
00:42:24.680 for my district
00:42:25.380 so I'm going to
00:42:26.660 volunteer with his campaign.
00:42:29.080 I have kind of a weird
00:42:30.400 question today
00:42:31.840 that involves
00:42:32.680 singing in mass.
00:42:34.480 So I'm Catholic
00:42:35.200 I go to mass
00:42:36.060 every Sunday
00:42:36.680 with my family
00:42:37.420 and I sing
00:42:39.460 at every mass
00:42:40.320 along with my mom
00:42:41.860 my grandmother
00:42:42.680 and my sister
00:42:43.520 because we believe
00:42:44.980 it is another
00:42:46.400 almost higher form
00:42:47.640 of prayer.
00:42:49.020 However
00:42:49.460 most of the people
00:42:51.320 who attend mass
00:42:52.140 do not sing
00:42:53.220 including my brothers.
00:42:55.180 I've been trying
00:42:55.960 to encourage
00:42:56.580 my one brother
00:42:58.220 to sing
00:42:59.160 for a while now
00:43:00.140 but I think
00:43:00.780 he's just too
00:43:01.460 embarrassed
00:43:02.080 since so many people
00:43:03.320 in the church
00:43:05.120 don't sing.
00:43:06.600 I was wondering
00:43:07.740 what's your opinion
00:43:08.660 on singing in mass
00:43:10.180 and do you have
00:43:11.540 any advice
00:43:12.080 on how I can
00:43:12.940 convince him
00:43:13.400 to sing?
00:43:14.060 Thanks.
00:43:14.460 Love the show.
00:43:15.640 Thank you so much.
00:43:16.440 Great question.
00:43:16.900 Great to hear
00:43:17.240 that you're on that campaign
00:43:18.080 and I have many thoughts
00:43:20.140 on this question
00:43:20.860 that you've just raised.
00:43:22.000 I think it was
00:43:22.300 St. Augustine
00:43:22.880 who says that
00:43:23.560 to sing well
00:43:24.880 is to pray twice.
00:43:26.640 So it's good to sing.
00:43:27.540 It's good to sing in praise.
00:43:29.040 But you're right.
00:43:29.960 People in
00:43:30.740 what's called
00:43:32.380 the new mass
00:43:33.060 or the mass
00:43:33.580 of Pope Paul VI
00:43:34.520 that's the mass
00:43:35.420 that started in 1970
00:43:37.100 and has replaced
00:43:39.160 in most places
00:43:40.240 the traditional
00:43:40.860 Latin mass
00:43:41.500 that had endured
00:43:42.120 for almost two millennia
00:43:43.640 that mass
00:43:45.560 at that mass
00:43:46.400 people don't really
00:43:47.160 sing that much
00:43:47.760 which is ironic
00:43:48.340 because the point
00:43:48.900 of that new mass
00:43:49.760 was to increase
00:43:51.600 participation
00:43:52.220 and yet participation
00:43:53.240 in many ways
00:43:53.800 decreased.
00:43:54.840 I think the reason
00:43:55.540 for that
00:43:56.020 it's not just
00:43:56.660 your brother's fault
00:43:57.860 and it's not just
00:43:58.480 the fault
00:43:59.620 of the people
00:44:00.300 in the congregation
00:44:00.840 it's because
00:44:02.400 the mass
00:44:03.040 is really
00:44:04.860 the new form
00:44:06.960 of that liturgy
00:44:07.640 is much more shallow
00:44:08.680 and much more effeminate
00:44:10.480 and the hymns
00:44:11.960 that replaced
00:44:12.740 the traditional chanting
00:44:14.160 and the traditional hymns
00:44:15.580 in the mass
00:44:16.100 are really sappy
00:44:17.720 effeminate
00:44:18.460 1970s pop songs
00:44:20.500 that make
00:44:21.640 some references
00:44:22.420 to God
00:44:23.080 and are often heretical
00:44:24.440 and so
00:44:25.000 to me
00:44:26.700 it's perfectly
00:44:27.580 understandable
00:44:28.220 that a young man
00:44:29.520 would not want to sing
00:44:30.800 some shallow
00:44:32.820 song about
00:44:34.280 I will raise you up
00:44:37.040 on eagle's wings
00:44:39.520 and first of all
00:44:40.460 I won't raise anybody
00:44:41.840 up on eagle's wings
00:44:42.540 because I'm not God
00:44:43.600 so the songs
00:44:45.020 have theological problems
00:44:46.320 and they're just
00:44:46.860 so lame and sappy
00:44:48.280 they weren't even cool
00:44:49.000 in the 70s
00:44:49.680 and so I'm not surprised
00:44:51.020 at all
00:44:51.460 I'm not surprised
00:44:52.560 that people don't want
00:44:53.120 to participate
00:44:53.680 in that really
00:44:55.520 shallow kind of liturgy
00:44:58.180 and so
00:44:58.900 what I would recommend
00:45:00.000 well I frequently
00:45:01.700 recommend that people
00:45:02.420 if you are Catholic
00:45:03.920 I would recommend
00:45:04.460 you attend the
00:45:04.900 traditional Latin mass
00:45:06.060 if you can find one
00:45:06.900 but if you can't
00:45:09.560 let's say you want
00:45:10.000 to just keep going
00:45:10.500 to your church
00:45:10.920 and you know
00:45:11.540 go to the mass
00:45:12.840 of Paul VI
00:45:13.240 okay fine
00:45:14.160 you might want
00:45:16.140 to encourage
00:45:17.240 the musical director
00:45:18.420 there
00:45:18.760 to bring back
00:45:20.120 some sturdier
00:45:21.080 more masculine
00:45:22.580 more serious
00:45:23.740 hymns
00:45:24.520 than the kind of
00:45:25.320 silly stuff
00:45:26.820 that came out
00:45:27.340 of the 70s
00:45:28.080 because that
00:45:28.740 I get it
00:45:30.520 I get it
00:45:31.400 if I went to those
00:45:32.100 masses
00:45:32.400 I wouldn't want
00:45:32.880 to sing it either
00:45:33.460 I don't want
00:45:36.140 to offend our lord
00:45:37.240 with bad music
00:45:39.740 okay
00:45:40.280 I don't
00:45:41.100 insipid twaddle
00:45:42.480 as a priest friend
00:45:43.220 of mine
00:45:43.560 described a lot
00:45:44.660 of those songs
00:45:45.280 alright
00:45:46.040 when St. Augustine
00:45:47.000 says to sing well
00:45:47.900 is to pray twice
00:45:48.920 but to sing poorly
00:45:50.380 I don't know
00:45:50.860 I don't know
00:45:51.240 what that comes down to
00:45:52.000 okay
00:45:52.220 one written question
00:45:53.620 before we get
00:45:54.080 into the member block
00:45:54.680 Michael I only just
00:45:55.580 started watching
00:45:56.080 your show
00:45:56.520 in the past few weeks
00:45:57.200 you've quickly become
00:45:58.080 my favorite host
00:45:58.660 by far though
00:45:59.220 thank you very much
00:45:59.760 that's very kind
00:46:00.180 here's a question
00:46:01.420 should I engage
00:46:02.160 in any sexual acts
00:46:03.040 with my girlfriend
00:46:03.640 before marriage
00:46:04.400 now alright
00:46:05.120 we're really jumping
00:46:05.680 right to it
00:46:06.240 we've been dating
00:46:07.140 for a little over
00:46:07.640 five months
00:46:08.200 I love her
00:46:08.780 she's never asked
00:46:09.380 for anything
00:46:09.760 and I don't plan
00:46:10.500 on doing anything
00:46:11.100 until we get married
00:46:11.900 if that happens
00:46:12.580 frankly I feel
00:46:13.560 that anything
00:46:13.900 more than making out
00:46:14.840 is too much
00:46:15.380 for dating
00:46:15.820 and would make
00:46:17.020 the relationship
00:46:17.520 more complicated
00:46:18.500 is there anything
00:46:19.120 wrong with that
00:46:19.880 thank you Mr. Knowles
00:46:20.640 and have a nice day
00:46:21.340 so you're asking me
00:46:22.160 how far around the bases
00:46:23.040 you're allowed to run
00:46:23.720 yeah you're right
00:46:24.640 you're right
00:46:25.260 you should not
00:46:26.120 you should refrain
00:46:26.740 from sexual activity
00:46:27.760 until you're married
00:46:28.520 most people
00:46:29.500 do not do that
00:46:30.780 especially people
00:46:31.720 who were
00:46:32.280 kind of atheists
00:46:33.780 for a lot of their youth
00:46:34.840 but I will say
00:46:37.680 some of those people
00:46:39.540 I think regret
00:46:40.300 their behaviors
00:46:41.140 when they go
00:46:42.720 too fast
00:46:43.280 too far
00:46:43.860 with the number
00:46:45.020 of women
00:46:45.340 and I think
00:46:46.460 it's a very special
00:46:47.460 wonderful thing
00:46:48.100 if you can
00:46:48.680 refrain from that
00:46:49.540 kind of behavior
00:46:50.080 until you get married
00:46:50.900 and the bonus of that
00:46:52.120 is it will encourage
00:46:52.860 you to get married
00:46:53.460 sooner
00:46:53.780 which usually
00:46:55.420 almost all the time
00:46:57.020 will be to your benefit
00:46:58.420 and it will at least
00:46:59.380 force you to think about
00:47:01.360 whether or not
00:47:01.840 you want to get married
00:47:02.660 to this person
00:47:03.120 and if not
00:47:03.520 you can move on
00:47:04.080 that certainly
00:47:04.700 that clarity
00:47:06.220 will certainly be
00:47:07.120 to your benefit

00:47:18.920 one fake headline
00:47:20.120 the producers
00:47:20.820 have compiled them
00:47:21.540 I have to guess
00:47:22.500 which is the fake headline
00:47:23.860 you have to guess
00:47:24.560 which is the fake headline
00:47:25.480 the way the news cycle goes
00:47:27.360 it becomes very
00:47:28.600 very difficult
