A lot of people have been asking me what I think about the weird UFO sightings popping up all over the country.
00:00:44.520
Apparently, one of the aircraft that we shot down is shaped like a cylinder, and another one is shaped like an octagon.
00:00:58.080
Politico is reporting that UFO fever has gripped Washington, D.C.
00:01:03.700
And so, since people keep asking, I'll tell you.
00:01:07.380
My main thought is that 50 freight cars derailed on Friday night in Ohio near the Pennsylvania border,
00:01:15.380
leaking, according to reports, at least a million pounds of vinyl chloride,
00:01:20.280
which is an extremely dangerous chemical and a known carcinogen.
00:01:23.960
The safe exposure limit for vinyl chloride is less than one part per million.
00:01:30.040
After the derailment, workers used small explosives to blow a hole in the rail cars to drain the vinyl chloride,
00:01:36.680
which they collected in a trench and then set on fire,
00:01:39.520
which seems to have made an already enormous problem much, much worse because burning vinyl chloride sends hydrochloric acid into the air along with phosgene,
00:01:49.820
which you may recall from history class is one of the poison gases used during World War I.
00:01:54.400
seems like a pretty important news story, and yet it's not getting very much coverage.
00:02:02.600
We're not really paying attention to these other stories.
00:02:04.580
At least one reporter from News Nation who tried to cover the story in Ohio was actually arrested on the scene.
00:02:29.520
You want to go to jail for criminal trespassing?
00:02:31.140
Do you want to go to jail for criminal trespassing?
00:02:33.980
You know how quickly our lawyers will get me out?
00:03:19.020
And while I am mildly interested in China's latest espionage activities in the United States,
00:03:47.600
My favorite comment on Friday is from Salty Walt, who says,
00:03:51.000
Donald Trump once used to say that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue in broad daylight
00:03:58.080
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that George Santos actually did shoot
00:04:11.940
He seems completely impenetrable, completely immune.
00:04:16.140

If the past couple of years has taught you anything, it should be that our supply chain is incredibly fragile.
00:04:29.140
The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extremely short supply across the United States.
00:04:37.040
We all had a good laugh when there was a toilet paper shortage at the start of the COVID lockdowns.
00:04:44.360
Then when there was a baby formula shortage, things weren't so funny.
00:04:47.880
Well, what about when there's a shortage of emergency medications like ibuprofen, basic stuff?
00:04:55.420

00:05:48.660
I know that's a controversial observation to make in this.
00:05:58.900
There is zero evidence, empirical or evidence that we can deduce from our limited observations about the natural world using human reason.
00:06:10.420
Zero evidence that extraterrestrial aliens exist at all.
00:06:16.060
Some people say that the universe is really, really big, therefore aliens must exist.
00:06:26.540
It does not follow from the universe is really, really big that aliens exist.
00:06:31.740
The reason that people believe in aliens now when people didn't used to believe in aliens is not because of any new scientific discovery.
00:06:39.640
There has been zero, exactly zero scientific discovery that would suggest any increased likelihood for the existence of aliens.
00:06:47.600
Some people will say, well, it's so large that statistically there have to be aliens.
00:06:56.280
If we knew anything about the physical origins of life, we do not.
00:07:00.100
So there is zero reason to believe that life, certainly not conscious life, is cropped up anywhere else in the universe.
00:07:09.780
There would not be any logical reason to believe that life's existence here would imply life elsewhere.
00:07:18.860
This is a way for atheists and agnostics to express religious longing and wonder.
00:07:25.400
People will say, well, you religious people, you believe in angels and demons.
00:07:32.400
There is much, much more evidence for angels and demons than there is for extraterrestrial aliens.
00:07:38.920
I'm just so sick of the stupid UFO alien stuff.
00:07:41.920
There's much, much more evidence for angels and demons because angels and demons are pure spirit.
00:07:47.280
That is the definition of what an angel and a demon is.
00:07:50.060
And so if you believe that spiritual things exist at all, if you believe that the human person has a soul,
00:07:56.000
if you believe that some things don't have a rational soul like animals and rocks and trees and stuff,
00:08:01.600
and that certain beings do exhibit a rational soul,
00:08:04.400
then the fact that the soul exists could imply that there are beings that are purely spiritual,
00:08:14.400
not hylomorphic body and soul like human beings, but pure spirit as well.
00:08:19.600
There is no, the suggestion that aliens exist pose certain theological problems
00:08:27.640
pertaining to the fall and redemption of the world,
00:08:32.500
which is a discussion, I suppose, for another time because it's somewhat involved.
00:08:35.960
But all of which to say, the thing that everybody is focused on right now is almost certainly not real.
00:08:46.920
According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration,
00:08:51.040
we've got lots of weird UFOs flying above our heads.
00:08:55.500
And I love how last week there was UFO fever and we found out it was a Chinese spy balloon.
00:09:03.380
Then we found out that the Chinese have a number of aircraft that we had not previously detected
00:09:09.900
And then a week later, we shoot down some aircraft and the Pentagon won't give us too much information about it.
00:09:19.660
Not that it's obviously more Chinese aircraft, the likes of which we were seeing all of last week.
00:09:24.380
No, no, no, it's got to be something totally different.
00:09:30.200
People only believe in the alien invasion because they have given up the other and more correct version of eschatology, the end of times.
00:09:39.620
So people used to look up to the sky and wait for the four horsemen to start flying down and Christ to descend for the second coming.
00:09:45.120
That used to be their vision of the end of the world.
00:09:46.720
But now, because people have thrown away, they've convinced themselves that it's somehow unreasonable to believe in true and traditional religion.
00:09:53.700
Now we're just waiting for ET to come down in a flying saucer and zap the White House.
00:09:57.960
Because that's apparently more reasonable than the true religion that has animated our civilization for 2,000 years.
00:10:06.820
We had a potential object detected over Montana Saturday night.
00:10:12.280
The military shot down a cylindrical object over Alaska.
00:10:15.300
It was about the size of a small car, so it was smaller than those Chinese balloons last week.
00:10:22.120
We can look at Area 51, but no aliens have been discovered yet.
00:10:26.040
A related point to my point about the chemical spill in Ohio.
00:10:31.460
We know that there is a little green man type of alien that is causing lots of trouble to our country.
00:10:42.840
And yet, we ignore that problem and we worry about the imaginary little green men who don't exist and don't pose any problem to our country.
00:10:53.440
There are millions of aliens pouring into our country every single year.
00:10:57.880
Some of them have tattooed their faces entirely green and they're members of a gang called MS-13.
00:11:04.100
We don't really talk about that one too much in the establishment media.
00:11:06.860
Because instead, we're going to distract ourselves with ET.
00:11:10.000
People like to distract themselves with fantastical stories because it gives them something to focus their attention and worry on that they can't actually do anything about.
00:11:21.560
We could do something about our southern border and stop the little green aliens who are currently coming in.
00:11:25.940
We could do something about that, but we can't muster the political will to do it.
00:11:30.340
We can't muster the political unity that's necessary to do that.
00:11:33.780
And so we have to distract ourselves with imaginary problems about which there is nothing that one can possibly do.
00:11:44.920
You're seeing this right now from Mr. Dylan Mulvaney.
00:11:47.580
Probably one of the greatest examples of it who has had.
00:11:51.280
He's the transvestite who was a Broadway actor and then he pretended to be a woman and on TikTok every single day.
00:11:57.400
He says that's day five of being a woman and today I'm flitting around as a sort of a caricature of what a woman is.
00:12:07.260
Well, Dylan Mulvaney has had some surgery to make his face look more like Bruce Jenner's.
00:12:10.980
And now he is posting videos saying that he looks super duper hot.
00:12:16.480
It's day 335 of being a girl and I wanted to go on record to say that this might be the hottest I've ever looked and will ever look in my lifetime.
00:12:27.140
And I'm making this video so that in thousands of years there will be evidence.
00:12:41.020
And when I have extensions in, I don't know my name.
00:12:47.260
And I know that I look like I could steal a husband.
00:12:52.280
I want to promise you that I would never do that to you.
00:13:10.940
It reflects a lot of the problems in our culture.
00:13:13.680
But before we do that, before we clear the air about all that, you've got to clear the
00:13:23.600
I think maybe the whole show has led to this moment.
00:13:30.580
One of the problems is when you smoke a cigar indoors, a smell tends to linger.
00:13:37.640
I am so happy that we have Rabbit Air on board.
00:13:40.900
I've got my Rabbit Air award-winning air purifier in my office.
00:13:46.140
So I can smoke in my office whenever I want and not get yelled at too much.
00:13:59.940
Well, Rabbit Air has advanced six-stage filtration and deodorization that can reduce airborne particles,
00:14:05.740
odors, and pollutants to keep your air clean and fresh.
00:14:10.860
It's got an interchangeable faceplate design, wall mount, floor stand for custom filtration
00:14:15.220
options such as odor remover for cigars or toxin absorber for VOCs.
00:14:19.880
The Rabbit Air app lets me monitor air quality control purification from anywhere at the touch
00:14:26.020
Go to rabbitair.com right now to speak to a Rabbit Air consultant.
00:14:34.880
Dylan Mulvaney has just given the best proof yet that transgenderism broadly, or at very
00:14:41.860
least the type of transgenderism that he suffers from, is a sexual fetish.
00:14:46.520
It's what the psychologist Ray Blanchard called autogynephilia.
00:14:52.320
Ray Blanchard, the psychologist, said that there are two kinds of people who think that
00:14:58.700
There are homosexual transsexuals who are attracted exclusively to men and are feminine
00:15:06.760
And then there are autogynephilic transsexuals who experience sexual arousal at the idea of
00:15:13.880
It would appear, well, Dylan Mulvaney might have, he might have a little touch of both,
00:15:22.400
But he certainly has the latter in as much as he is viewing himself as a hot sexual object.
00:15:29.200
He's saying, I've never looked hotter in my whole life, ladies.
00:15:34.460
And he's saying it with the deadpan of a trained actor.
00:15:41.920
He's saying, I am looking on my body that some surgeon has constructed for me with lust.
00:15:52.460
And he says, when I'm looking at me and my hot new body in the mirror, I don't know my name.
00:16:01.260
All I know is I just think these hair extensions are really hot.
00:16:06.840
All of this is an admission of what conservatives have said about transgenderism from the beginning,
00:16:11.660
which is this is obviously a disordered sexual fetish.
00:16:15.960
And this is obviously an expression of self-hatred.
00:16:31.760
I'm escaping from a reality that I don't want to confront into a fantasy and a delusion
00:16:39.740
that is relieving my sense of contempt for the real world and also arousing me sexually.
00:16:50.120
It's just a total vindication of what the conservatives have said.
00:16:53.800
The Libs have said, no, no, transgenderism is just, it's just who you really are.
00:16:58.060
It's just people living their true lives authentically and loving themselves.
00:17:09.200
I don't want to remember anything about the real world.
00:17:12.120
I just want to pursue my disordered sexual desire to a state of a kind of sexual ecstasy.
00:17:19.600
He's saying we're right, and we have been right about this.
00:17:27.340
Very often, the culture of body positivity or love yourself or pride, which is the primal
00:17:34.280
sin, the queen of all vices, and the vice of all queens, as my friend Andrew Klavan has
00:17:41.640
Very often, the people who are most boastful, who seem most narcissistic and egotistical,
00:17:47.240
paradoxically, they also are filled with the most self-hatred.
00:17:51.120
You're seeing this reflected in all of the popular culture.
00:17:56.900
But look at this cartoon that we played last week or the week before, Proud Family, which
00:18:04.080
Proud Family has been rebooted to push BLM and woke, intersectional, leftist nonsense and
00:18:10.980
to push onto a culture of predominantly white people the sense that white people are evil.
00:18:21.180
No, no, I do not understand anything about white fragility.
00:19:01.940
Now, it would be very easy to say that all of this anti-white propaganda is just a problem
00:19:09.500
coming from black people or from non-white people.
00:19:15.100
All of the anti-white, if you're a little boy and you're white, you're evil, you need
00:19:20.120
to apologize for your whiteness, that stuff is largely coming from white people.
00:19:27.440
It's not so simple as to say, hey, you radical black people need to stop pushing this on us.
00:19:33.740
The book that they referenced is by Robin DiAngelo.
00:19:37.240
The people who run these networks pushing all this stuff are, by and large, white people.
00:19:44.200
And it's white people who want to hate themselves.
00:19:50.400
Maybe I got a vaccine when I was a kid or something.
00:19:54.700
Maybe it's because the Italians are a sort of racially liminal people.
00:20:08.440
I feel a healthy fear of temptation because this is a fallen world and we're all born with
00:20:15.100
Though I feel confident that that won't destroy my life and send me down to perdition because
00:20:26.740
But for the modern liberals who ignore that, who ignore true religion, who ignore the wisdom
00:20:33.880
of the ages and of revelation, it's not that they become much more empirical and grounded
00:20:42.440
They actually become much more fantastical and superstitious in their views.
00:20:46.940
They can infer and intuit that something is wrong about this world.
00:20:51.100
They recognize that there is such a thing as original sin.
00:20:56.780
They recognize that something is wrong with themselves, but they don't have any path toward
00:21:03.720
And so it just leads them further and further down this pit and they blame it on their skin
00:21:07.820
They blame it on whiteness or they blame it on their sexual expression.
00:21:14.180
They blame it on an alleged conflict between their gender identity and their sex.
00:21:18.220
So they chop themselves up and they mutilate themselves.
00:21:20.180
And they do that spiritually and they do that physically in the case of Dylan Mulvaney.
00:21:30.920
It's just more and more self-hatred compounding on itself.
00:21:39.820
I went to my friend's Super Bowl party, which was very fun.
00:21:52.780
So maybe the Eagles, except that Philly's pretty rough right now.
00:21:59.080
So I don't know if I would support the Phillies.
00:22:02.300
I was talking to Sweet Little Elise about this.
00:22:03.780
The Chiefs, at least that name is slightly more politically incorrect.
00:22:07.800
Are you allowed to call something the Chiefs these days?
00:22:11.560
I heard one of the guys on the Chiefs is a strong Christian conservative guy.
00:22:16.700
But I said, okay, I guess I'll support the Chiefs.
00:22:20.020
One of the first things one sees, the Black National Anthem.
00:22:24.760
Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies.
00:22:55.760
My favorite part of this entire charade is as this woman is singing this ridiculous song
00:23:00.980
that nobody had heard of until five minutes ago, it cuts to the black guys who are standing
00:23:28.240
But now the Libs are saying there are two National Anthems.
00:23:36.480
Which one do the Hispanics and the Asians and the other people, I don't know which one
00:23:41.080
But if there are two National Anthems, that means that there are two nations, two competing
00:23:49.520
Are they going to be geographically distinct nations?
00:23:52.300
Is what the Libs saying here is that black people need one part of the country and white
00:23:58.860
Or is it going to be two nations fighting over the same geographical land?
00:24:07.880
If you have two National Anthems for two distinct groups of people within the same geographic
00:24:16.740
territory, then you're either calling for partition, like you saw with India and Pakistan, or you're
00:24:22.400
calling for a race war for one group to conquer the other in the geographical territory.
00:24:28.960
And so you see the singer, whoever she is, singing this made-up song, and you see all
00:24:36.440
these other people of all different races behind her looking very uncomfortable and slightly
00:24:54.460
Now, if you have questions about the Black National Anthem or any other question, you can send
00:25:01.080
We've got the voice mailbag coming up on Friday.
00:25:20.840
And then you just attach an audio file, whether it's from your computer.
00:25:24.920
Keep it to under a minute, I'm begging you, because otherwise it's very difficult for us to play
00:25:37.080
Speaking of the Super Bowl, Super Bowl was not all that bad, I am told.
00:25:50.280
And the big story from halftime is that Rihanna, who is the performer, is pregnant, which I thought
00:25:56.800
You know that the guys who organized the Super Bowl were furious about this, because
00:26:00.960
they signed the contract, I assume, before Rihanna got pregnant, certainly before Rihanna
00:26:07.700
There hadn't been a big announcement that this singer was pregnant.
00:26:20.900
Now she's probably not going to do a weird, slutty, sexually charged dance.
00:26:25.800
That would be really, because that would be pretty awkward, wouldn't it?
00:26:28.040
The show, it was one of the tamest halftime shows we've seen in years.
00:26:35.000
Probably not the organizers of the Super Bowl, but everybody else.
00:26:37.440
They were so happy for Rihanna, as they should have been.
00:26:39.360
But Philip Lewis, who is an editor for the Huffington Post, he's the senior front page editor, he
00:26:46.560
tweeted out, he said, Rihanna performed the Super Bowl halftime show while pregnant with
00:26:56.080
My first reaction was, it's a child again, is it?
00:27:00.520
But that's amazing, because I was told previously, I was reliably informed by the sort of people
00:27:07.480
who work at the Huffington Post, that when a baby is in the womb, it's not a baby, it's
00:27:12.440
not a child, it's not alive, it's not human, it's just a meaningless clump of cells.
00:27:19.700
Certainly we are told that when poor women get pregnant, that that's a meaningless clump
00:27:26.260
You should go kill that so you can get back to work at the widget factory.
00:27:28.500
Certainly we are told that when desperate women, who do not have adequate support to
00:27:36.980
raise a child without some degree of difficulty and suffering, when they get pregnant, oh, you
00:27:42.480
You're not even killing it, it's not even a baby.
00:27:44.480
Just go, it's a simple medical procedure, it's a clump of cells, don't even look at it,
00:27:48.620
But then when Rihanna is pregnant, well, that's a child.
00:27:52.640
It's a child when wealthy people want babies, and they get pregnant, then that's a child.
00:27:57.740
The royal baby, whenever a duchess gets pregnant, it's never the royal fetus, it's never the
00:28:05.080
It's always the royal baby is going to be born in six months.
00:28:08.980
It's just when poor people, when the deplorables, when the irredeemables, when the bitter clinging,
00:28:13.740
Bible thumping, no good, useless people, like some contributors to the World Economic Forum
00:28:20.380
calls them, when they get pregnant, when you get pregnant, then you should kill it.
00:28:26.760
I'm glad even the Huffington Post can admit it.
00:28:31.160
Speaking of things growing inside of people, great news for John Fetterman, the senator
00:28:38.380
The gigantic, bulbous growth on his neck has apparently gone away.
00:28:43.500
Anyway, this was one of the reasons that John Fetterman was wearing a lot of hoodies during
00:28:49.060
the campaign, is he had this giant, very concerning growth on his neck, but John Fetterman didn't
00:28:55.360
want to ask any, or answer, rather, any questions about his health while he was on the campaign
00:29:00.900
And so they just kind of covered it up as best they could, and now the growth is gone, which
00:29:07.500
But John Fetterman continues to have health problems.
00:29:10.900
We saw over the last week, John Fetterman was admitted to the hospital, George Washington
00:29:15.720
University Hospital, because he was feeling lightheaded at a fundraiser.
00:29:21.320
John Fetterman thought that he might be having another stroke, apparently.
00:29:25.800
And so they went in, they gave him a CT, CTA, MRI tests.
00:29:31.480
His EEG tests came back normal, and no evidence of any seizures, which they had been concerned
00:29:41.840
Back in the fall, John Fetterman was talking about football.
00:29:44.780
He was talking about the Eagles, who were in the Super Bowl.
00:29:46.940
And here was a pretty simple answer about football that he tried to formulate.
00:30:01.480
So presumably, he was trying to say the Eagles are better than the Steelers, or the Steelers
00:30:14.420
are better than the Eagles, who obviously didn't come out very well.
00:30:18.280
The guy obviously has brain damage and continues to have that.
00:30:23.940
The New York Times reported that Fetterman has been left with, quote, serious mental health
00:30:28.940
He often cannot understand the words that other people are saying as a result of the
00:30:33.320
He has to use live audio to text transcription for everything that he does, certainly in
00:30:40.600
And then apparently when Fetterman is under stress, and being a national level politician
00:30:45.780
is a stressful job, he says that trying to understand what other people are saying is
00:30:49.860
like, quote, trying to make out the muffled voice of the teacher in the Peanuts cartoon,
00:30:54.320
whose words could never be deciphered, according to this report in the Times.
00:31:00.900
It is cruel that the libs have put him into the Senate and that his wife is tolerating this.
00:31:05.740
It's cruel because it is allowing him to be humiliated every single day, not by mean right-wing
00:31:14.900
It's just he has to speak sometimes as a U.S. senator, and it is humiliating because he isn't
00:31:24.020
If you've ever known a stroke victim, you know this is heartbreaking when people want
00:31:28.960
to say something and they can't say something or when they can't quite understand what people
00:31:32.840
And so many people are observing that this man is not fit to be a U.S. senator, and that's
00:31:43.220
I agree that it's cruel and wrong to put him in the U.S. Senate.
00:31:47.020
I think his family should be ashamed of themselves.
00:31:49.080
I think the Democratic Party should be ashamed of itself for many other reasons, but that one
00:31:55.260
But he's not unfit to be a senator because he doesn't really have to do anything as a senator.
00:32:05.400
A hundred years ago, being a senator meant more than it does today.
00:32:09.180
Two hundred years ago, being a senator certainly meant more than it does today.
00:32:12.780
A lot of the Senate's power is just gone, though.
00:32:15.920
And the Senate and the House of Representatives have just shipped that power away to bureaucrats
00:32:21.120
in the executive agencies, to the leadership in the Senate and leadership in the House of
00:32:26.940
Representatives, to international, supranational bodies that control a lot of U.S. policy.
00:32:38.440
I know there are some people who are real antagonists of the administrative state and
00:32:45.080
And they say, the Congress had no right to delegate away these powers.
00:32:50.560
I think the Congress has broad power to delegate away its responsibilities.
00:32:55.280
And it has all the incentive to, because if Congress and the Senate are voting on legislation,
00:33:03.380
If they say, well, we're only voting on one or two bills a year, we're going to vote on
00:33:06.760
the omnibus, we're going to vote on a Defense Authorization Act, and that's pretty much all
00:33:10.940
we're going to do all year long, then it becomes much easier to go back and campaign.
00:33:14.700
And if that's all you're voting on, then this guy is just going to be a rubber stamp.
00:33:19.360
In fact, even before the stroke, he was running to be a rubber stamp.
00:33:23.340
It's not as though John Fetterman was a Rhodes Scholar, okay?
00:33:27.020
It's not as though the health problems are really what exacerbated John Fetterman's
00:33:31.040
dissent into this lowest common denominator politics.
00:33:34.740
He was always going to be a rubber stamp for whatever the Democrats wanted.
00:33:39.880
Speaking of the deep state, really bad news over the weekend for anybody
00:33:49.000
who wants Western civilization to have any hope of coming out of its current pit as we
00:33:57.220
And this is because American liberals are going into Hungary to try to oust the very successful,
00:34:10.840
Samantha Power, in particular, one of those Barack Obama faces of the swampy liberal deep state.
00:34:19.160
Samantha Power is on the ground in Hungary, relaunching a USAID program in that country.
00:34:27.020
As USAID administrator, I have the chance to travel all around the world to engage with people
00:34:32.260
who are working every day to strengthen democratic institutions, to build independent media,
00:34:40.260
I'm here in Hungary, one of the countries in Central Europe where USAID has recently relaunched
00:34:49.680
I'm going to spend the next couple of days engaging with Hungarians about their vision
00:34:59.520
It was when I was, this was one of my first jobs after college.
00:35:02.820
I was a fake sommelier at George Soros' wedding.
00:35:06.660
I mentioned that one of the stranger political stories that I have.
00:35:09.780
One of my pieces of evidence, by the way, that George Soros doesn't totally control the world
00:35:13.400
is that if they had even Googled me beforehand, they never would have hired me for this job.
00:35:17.680
But I'm at George Soros' wedding, and there are all sorts of very liberal power players
00:35:23.820
Some celebrities like Bono, Nancy Pelosi, international political power players like Christine
00:35:34.860
Samantha Power was one of the big Obama people who made it to George Soros' wedding.
00:35:43.500
And Samantha Power is there on behalf of USAID, which is the U.S. Agency for International Development,
00:35:50.060
independent agency of the federal government, responsible for administering civilian foreign
00:35:57.920
It's one of the largest official aid agencies in the world.
00:36:01.160
It accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance for the highest in the world
00:36:11.300
Not Syria, not Libya, not North Korea, Hungary.
00:36:17.900
This is one of the ways in which the United States pushes its imperial power around the world
00:36:25.720
Samantha Power is on the ground now in Hungary on behalf of the Biden administration to launch
00:36:31.600
a color revolution to oust Viktor Orban because Viktor Orban is too conservative and successful.
00:36:36.780
Viktor Orban, he governs a relatively small country, but he has done more than any leader
00:36:43.280
in the West probably to turn around the negative trend and try to get his country back on the
00:36:52.500
Viktor Orban has gotten rid of the crappy, brutalist, communist art and architecture,
00:36:57.600
and he's tried to re-beautify, make the country more ornate, more human, more Western, more beautiful.
00:37:03.860
I know this seems like a minor point, but we're talking about goodness, truth, and beauty.
00:37:12.360
He's turned around much more practical problems like the dying population.
00:37:15.440
We have a dying population here in the United States.
00:37:17.580
We don't have enough babies to offset the number of people who are dying.
00:37:24.560
Viktor Orban has turned his birth rate decline around.
00:37:27.680
They're not yet producing more babies than people are dying, but they've turned it around
00:37:31.840
pretty significantly, and they're getting close.
00:37:34.260
This is one of the reasons that Viktor Orban can say no to mass migration.
00:37:40.480
So the rest of the West says, no, flood the country with foreign nationals.
00:37:47.800
Viktor Orban, one of the few, just like the Hungarians were at some of the most decisive
00:37:53.840
battles in Western history, Viktor Orban says, no, no, we're going to say no to that.
00:38:01.040
So no to mass migration, no to a dying population.
00:38:09.980
No, we're going to embrace the best, the heights of our civilization.
00:38:16.060
As far as I'm concerned, the aid should be going into the other direction.
00:38:20.500
Viktor Orban certainly should expel Samantha Power from his country as fast as he can.
00:38:24.080
He should say no thanks to this instantiation of USAID.
00:38:28.320
Frankly, we should have Hungarian aid coming into the United States because he's got some
00:38:32.320
answers to some of the big problems plaguing our society.
00:38:35.400
And I think probably we could learn a lot if the aid were going in the other direction.

Speaking of strong right-wing leaders, we got to get to the horse race, don't we?
00:39:41.240
We haven't talked about the horse race in days.
00:39:53.920
Shows you how the Republicans are thinking about DeSantis and Trump.
00:39:58.440
If this poll is to be believed, and that's a big if, DeSantis is up by 13 points, 53 to 40.
00:40:06.600
Now, national primary polls don't really matter because the primary is not held nationally.
00:40:12.880
The primary is held in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, on and on, Florida.
00:40:21.680
And so momentum changes depending on who's winning these primary contests.
00:40:26.300
But as of right now, I think this poll tells you something because of the breakdown of who is supporting whom.
00:40:32.760
Among strong Republicans, DeSantis, 49, Trump, 46.
00:40:38.100
So statistically, about even between Trump and DeSantis among strong Republicans.
00:40:44.340
Among Republican leaners, DeSantis crushes, 60 to 32.
00:40:50.700
Among the very conservative, DeSantis is still winning, but by less, by significantly less, 53 to 43.
00:41:00.540
Among moderates, DeSantis does better in terms of that delta.
00:41:08.700
Among evangelicals, and it starts to switch again.
00:41:20.700
Under 65 years old, DeSantis destroying 58% to Trump's 37%.
00:41:37.240
Among people making more than 50 grand a year, DeSantis totally crushing it, 61% to 33%.
00:41:44.040
Among people making less than 50 grand a year, it flips.
00:41:54.820
That's the most interesting poll I've seen so far on the head-to-head.
00:41:58.060
And by the way, this field is going to be full of people.
00:42:02.680
Mike Pence has already said he's going to run, or at least strongly intimated it.
00:42:07.480
Mike Pompeo has all but said that he's running.
00:42:09.320
Ted Cruz actually hasn't said very, I'm not being coy, even though, you know, hosted a
00:42:14.660
show with a guy for three years, love him to death, close friend of mine.
00:42:19.960
He said he would be interested in running, but not that he is planning to, but he might.
00:42:25.200
You know there are going to be tons of other people.
00:42:27.880
Actually, there's one in particular who's a total joke.
00:42:30.160
He's already essentially said that he's running.
00:42:35.700
It tells you Trump does better with older voters and lower income voters.
00:42:43.300
And he's roughly even among strong Republicans.
00:42:46.760
And DeSantis does better with the moderates and the independents and the younger voters
00:42:53.980
That tells you that Trump is in a pretty good position.
00:42:56.880
It doesn't look like he's in a good position because of the 53 to 40.
00:43:01.700
But the lower income voters disproportionately represent a Republican base.
00:43:11.860
Not necessarily the big, obviously not the big donors, not necessarily the people who
00:43:18.680
But in terms of the Republican base, especially in a post-Obama, post-Joe Biden world, the base
00:43:24.520
is skewing much more working class, certainly than the Democrats are.
00:43:28.120
And older voters, older voters tend to vote more.
00:43:32.860
So if Trump is doing better among the older voters, that is disproportionately going to
00:43:38.640
So you might look at these numbers and say, well, DeSantis would do better in the general.
00:43:44.180
And we're talking about a primary, by the way, which almost certainly won't be head-to-head.
00:43:47.960
So the challenge for DeSantis right now, and I've said this from the beginning and I've
00:44:01.000
So you could say DeSantis is the most Trumpy candidate in the world.
00:44:07.520
But in a race where Trump is running, DeSantis necessarily has to be the anti-Trump.
00:44:11.840
That's why DeSantis is going to attract support from some squishes.
00:44:15.020
And that's why he's going to attract support from some centrists and some libs.
00:44:24.700
And then when you add other candidates to it, all of a sudden, now Trump, with all of
00:44:29.280
his name recognition, with his 40 years of celebrity, is going to perform even better.
00:44:35.580
If you're counting Trump out, I just think it's way, way too early to do that.
00:44:41.380
Because the landscape is really, really strong for Republicans right now.
00:44:45.960
According to another Monmouth poll, this from last Monday, 39% of Americans said that the
00:44:54.980
This is right before Joe Biden gave a State of the Union address.
00:44:58.160
Less than 40% of Americans believe that the State of the Union is strong.
00:45:12.920
That's why the people are getting into this race.
00:45:14.300
They view Joe Biden as very beatable, and they view Trump as not as formidable as he
00:45:22.500
Strong, but not strong enough to clear the field.
00:45:26.280
Which means, paradoxically, that if the field gets flooded with people, Trump might be able
00:45:31.160
to stand out by just consistently keeping a plurality.
00:45:35.940
DeSantis or some other candidate might blow him out of the water within a matter of months.
00:45:40.820
Speaking of some of those squishy Republicans, Chris Sununu, Chris Sununu, governor of New
00:45:45.220
Hampshire, says that he's going to run for president, or at least he's strongly implying
00:45:54.560
You've been talking about trying to sort of remind the party that Republicans are about
00:46:00.340
You said recently, Republicans are almost trying to outdo Democrats at their own game of being
00:46:05.520
big government and having a solution and a say on everything.
00:46:11.820
Like, I think there's a lot of leadership out there that forget that forgets at heart.
00:46:19.040
So there's no individual per se, but there's a lot of leadership that says, you know what?
00:46:22.300
When we're not getting that result out of a private business or locality, we'll just
00:46:26.280
impose from the top down our conservative will.
00:46:29.160
You're not talking about the Florida governor and Disney, for example.
00:46:39.300
But I'm just trying to remind folks what we are at our core.
00:46:41.900
And if we're trying to beat the Democrats at being big government authoritarians, remember
00:46:47.340
Eventually, they'll have power in a state or in a position, and then they'll start penalizing
00:46:51.200
conservative businesses and conservative nonprofits and conservative ideas.
00:46:56.760
That's exactly what the founding fathers tried not to try to avoid.
00:47:00.120
And the award for the most out-of-touch Republican goes to, drumroll please, Governor Chris Sununu.
00:47:14.680
It's as though Chris Sununu, he was cryogenically frozen in 2010 or 2009, maybe even earlier, and
00:47:28.120
And he said, hey, guys, if we ever use the government, the liberals might use it against
00:47:35.140
Oh, yeah, Chris, you must have missed the last 10 years.
00:47:38.760
Really, you must have missed the last 70 years of US politics.
00:47:44.220
But guys, if we do anything to fight back in the real world, then the Democrats might hypothetically
00:47:51.360
keep doing what they've been doing for 70 years.
00:47:59.400
It's not if we do this, then they might do this.
00:48:02.260
The situation we're in is the libs are already doing the thing.
00:48:06.580
And the question to us is, are we going to fight back in a just way in accord with what
00:48:13.000
I love when these people invoke the founding fathers and say, the founding fathers would
00:48:22.140
We had many, many, many more social regulations at the time of the founding fathers.
00:48:26.500
We had many, many more social regulations even 20 years ago than we do today.
00:48:30.480
We had blasphemy laws on the books for much of this country's history.
00:48:37.040
We had very strict immigration controls for much of this country's history.
00:48:41.100
We had very strong standards that we enforced with the weight of the government, with the
00:48:47.360
weight of the state on education, on religion, on social norms between men and women, all of
00:48:55.340
But if we, if we start, listen, I'm a strong conservative.
00:49:01.320
I like cutting taxes too, but countries are about more than that.
00:49:06.540
Elect me and I'll keep using the same loser strategy that cost us the entire culture.
00:49:11.100
Wouldn't even allow conservatives to conserve the women's bathroom.
00:49:18.460
Mr. Davies, who did watch the Super Bowl because he is a sports fan.
00:49:23.040
He has got the best moments that I may have missed.
