00:00:37.700 You know the American immigration system is a joke. 1.00

00:00:41.040 I know the system is a joke.

00:00:43.420 We all know it's a joke.

00:00:45.180 Not at the level of the border agents.

00:00:46.860 The border agents do a great job and a dangerous job spotting and stopping the illegal aliens. 0.98

00:00:52.620 They arrested more than 2 million of them last year.

00:00:55.700 But then what?

00:00:56.980 At the level of immigration policy enforcement, everyone knows it's a farce.

00:01:03.200 And even I did not realize how much of a farce it is.

00:01:09.320 If you are a known illegal alien in New York City, we've got you. 0.99

00:01:14.860 We know you're in the country illegally. 0.99

00:01:16.740 Do you know how long it will take to process you through the New York City Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

00:01:25.040 When I say process, I just mean have a meeting.

00:01:30.140 Take a guess.

00:01:31.320 What would you say?

00:01:31.860 Would you say it will take a month?

00:01:34.900 Seems like kind of a long time.

00:01:36.300 Maybe a month.

00:01:36.880 Maybe three months.

00:01:38.780 Six months.

00:01:40.660 A year.

00:01:41.740 Nine years.

00:01:42.740 Nine years.

00:01:45.880 Nine years.

00:01:47.960 The New York City ICE Office is fully booked through 2032, according to an official document obtained by the New York Post.

00:01:58.540 If you get arrested right now from immigration enforcement in New York, there will be more than 39,200 illegal aliens who have to be processed before you even have to show up for a meeting.

00:02:16.600 And it's not just New York.

00:02:19.020 Jacksonville, Florida, is booked solid through June of 2028.

00:02:24.780 Miramar, Florida, is booked through January of 2028.

00:02:28.720 The United States, for all intents and purposes, does not enforce immigration law.

00:02:35.440 We're able to round up horn-hatted selfie-takers at the Capitol on January 6th.

00:02:41.720 We can pull some high-tech James Bond moves to round those guys and their grannies up and throw them all in solitary. 1.00

00:02:47.800 We're able to arrest and prosecute pro-life fathers of seven for demonstrating outside of abortion mills.

00:02:53.860 We can do that in a jiffy.

00:02:55.100 But we can't deport illegal aliens. 0.79

00:02:57.280 We can't even meet with them for almost a decade.

00:03:01.440 Now, we obviously could.

00:03:05.720 We could do it anytime we want.

00:03:08.500 It's just that our government doesn't want to.

00:03:11.860 Because our ruling class doesn't think of illegal immigration as a crime or a problem at all.

00:03:19.200 On the contrary, our ruling class thinks of it as a solution.

00:03:26.520 Lots of weird stuff going on with our elite right now.

00:03:30.400 There was a video, I was making the rounds yesterday, of Drew Barrymore on her talk show getting down on her knees and paying a sort of obeisance, a religious veneration of Dylan Mulvaney, that transvestite who is everywhere all over TikTok. 0.51

00:03:44.480 We'll get to that in just a little bit.

00:03:46.180 First, though, we need to restore balance to our country.

00:03:49.900 You need to restore balance to your body.

00:03:53.460 And that's why you've got to check out Balance of Nature.

00:04:44.460 And these absolute jackals, these animals, these hyenas, just try to steal all of them, okay?

00:04:49.840 So I have to make sure that I get there first so I can take them.

00:05:04.200 The lack of immigration enforcement is not a bug in our system.

00:05:10.200 It is a feature of the system.

00:05:13.400 There are many things that are ostensibly problems or challenges or accidents in our political order that are, in fact, quite intentional.

00:05:25.100 A great example of this, Black Lives Matter.

00:05:29.200 The Claremont Institute just did a study.

00:05:31.320 This was the Claremont Center for the American Way of Life.

00:05:34.740 Love the Claremont Institute.

00:05:36.020 Love the Claremont Review of Books.

00:05:37.860 Claremont did a study of how much money BLM has raked in.

00:05:41.040 Do you know how much money these guys have made?

00:05:43.100 Just from corporations.

00:05:44.740 I'm not talking about grassroots money, activists, fight the man on the street.

00:05:50.520 No.

00:05:50.660 Now, from just regular establishment corporations, BLM has raised $82.9 billion.

00:06:02.140 Billion with a B.

00:06:05.080 As a point of reference, says Claremont, $82.9 billion is more than the GDP of 46 African countries.

00:06:14.380 That's how powerful BLM is.

00:06:18.640 To put it in perspective, last year, the Ford Motor Company's profits were $23 billion.

00:06:24.700 You could fit three, coming up on four Ford Motor Companies within the accounting books for money that BLM has made just from corporations.

00:06:43.120 And this number, $82.9 billion, this includes more than $123 million to BLM parent organizations directly, and obviously much, much more to the subsidiary BLM organizations, just from corporate America.

00:06:58.000 Which shows something that probably most of you understood from the beginning, but most Americans did not understand from the beginning.

00:07:07.760 Which is that BLM was never fighting the system.

00:07:15.260 BLM is the system. 1.00

00:07:17.820 It was never in opposition.

00:07:20.220 They pretended they were in opposition.

00:07:22.100 We're going to fight the cops. 0.99

00:07:23.920 We're going to burn down the courthouses. 0.68

00:07:25.820 We're going to attack the economic system by looting a bunch of sneaker stores and jewelry stores.

00:07:32.920 But then what would happen?

00:07:34.920 The most powerful interests in the country would bail them out.

00:07:38.380 The current vice president of the United States bailed these people out of jail.

00:07:42.220 Bailed the criminals, the rioters, out of jail.

00:07:44.660 Staffers for Joe Biden bailed these people out of jail.

00:07:48.800 The district attorneys just wouldn't prosecute a lot of them.

00:07:52.460 Maybe a slap on the wrist.

00:07:53.960 In many cases, just charges dismissed.

00:07:55.820 Because BLM is serving a purpose in the political order.

00:08:02.040 The government is still somewhat constrained by the constitution to some degree, by the law to some degree, by optics to a larger degree, and by custom to some degree.

00:08:16.060 So, how does the government terrorize political dissidents?

00:08:22.020 Well, the only way to do it is through its military wing.

00:08:26.020 The only way to do it is through its terror wing.

00:08:27.900 That would be BLM.

00:08:29.480 But BLM is not opposing the interests of the establishment.

00:08:33.820 If it were, that establishment wouldn't be giving them almost $83 billion.

00:08:38.020 It's the same thing with big tech.

00:08:40.860 The government is constrained from censoring its political dissidents outright, in many cases.

00:08:49.240 We have a First Amendment.

00:08:51.360 The government doesn't want to go through the whole rigmarole of fighting out these cases in court.

00:08:55.900 So, what do they do?

00:08:56.980 They outsource speech broadly to a handful of corporations in Silicon Valley.

00:09:02.680 They work very closely with those corporations.

00:09:04.880 The FBI has regular meetings with executives at those corporations.

00:09:08.600 Talks about which people the government doesn't really want to hear from.

00:09:11.740 Talks about which stories the government doesn't really want getting out.

00:09:14.180 And then big tech does the censorship bidding for the government.

00:09:18.860 So, these platforms are not standing in opposition to the government, to the system.

00:09:24.260 They're working in tandem.

00:09:25.420 Obviously, same thing goes for the press.

00:09:27.820 The press is not the brave fourth estate.

00:09:30.140 We're the intrepid, courageous journalists speaking truth to power.

00:09:33.280 They don't speak truth almost ever.

00:09:36.040 Not when it counts, at least.

00:09:38.240 We saw this just last week when there was a concerted effort by the press to libel me,

00:09:45.300 which they did.

00:09:45.920 They eventually had to back down because we called it out and we mustered enough political

00:09:49.520 pressure from the right-wing media, from right-wing politicians, from the right-wing grassroots

00:09:53.800 that they had to back off a little bit.

00:09:56.120 But that's what they do.

00:09:57.580 They're not the intrepid fourth estate.

00:09:58.900 They work on behalf of the system.

00:10:01.900 There's another secret feature of this system.

00:10:03.880 This story just came out.

00:10:04.900 Most people have no idea even what this organization is.

00:10:08.920 There's an organization called NewsGuard.

00:10:11.240 I know about NewsGuard because I work in the news, and so I've got to be aware with them

00:10:16.820 because NewsGuard controls a lot of the reach of media organizations around the country.

00:10:21.540 How does it do that?

00:10:23.340 NewsGuard is allegedly a nonpartisan, non-profit organization, just seeks to protect integrity

00:10:30.380 in news and stop disinformation and whatever.

00:10:32.680 What NewsGuard does is it will boost or degrade the rating of news organizations based on political

00:10:43.320 preference.

00:10:44.860 So conservative organizations will more frequently be downgraded, and leftist organizations will

00:10:49.840 more frequently be promoted.

00:10:51.880 And then the social media networks will use NewsGuard's ratings to determine the reach of

00:10:56.660 these organizations.

00:10:57.480 Now, you might say, okay, NewsGuard's just a private organization.

00:11:03.560 Maybe it's left-wing, but it's still a private organization.

00:11:05.540 But it's not.

00:11:06.260 It works with the government.

00:11:07.380 A report just came out.

00:11:08.720 NewsGuard was discovered to have received $750,000 in a grant from the Pentagon.

00:11:15.160 That's just one grant.

00:11:16.300 Who knows how many grants these guys have received?

00:11:17.960 It's the establishment news rating project that presents itself as impartial, and just

00:11:24.460 like the press, presents itself as the intrepid fourth estate standing authority.

00:11:28.180 No, it's working with the government, just like all these guys are.

00:11:31.080 This is how our government censors. 0.74

00:11:33.400 We're really good at pointing out when Russia censors the free press.

00:11:37.320 We see that autocrat Putin, he's censoring the press.

00:11:41.960 That autocrat Xi Jinping, he's censoring the press.

00:11:45.080 Thank goodness we have a free system here.

00:11:47.060 This is a free country.

00:11:49.080 Our government censors information, too.

00:11:52.740 Our government has a state press, too.

00:11:55.740 Our government has a social credit score, too.

00:11:58.700 It's barely even hidden.

00:12:01.320 Oh, we're a system of law and order.

00:12:02.680 We're a system of law and order.

00:12:03.900 You can violate one of the most basic laws of this country, which is who gets to come 1.00

00:12:07.600 in, who gets to participate in the society.

00:12:11.100 You can violate that.

00:12:12.220 You won't even have a meeting to be told that maybe you shouldn't have done that for

00:12:15.820 almost 10 years.

00:12:17.360 You're going to tell me we're a nation of law and order.

00:12:19.240 No, there's obviously two tracks of justice here.

00:12:22.600 And we are increasingly ruled by the caprices of our increasingly corrupt ruling class.

00:12:30.040 Can we even be said to be a proper nation anymore?

00:12:33.780 I'm not so sure about that.

00:12:35.340 And I'm not so sure in part because I just listened to the Mexican leftist president,

00:12:42.560 AMLO.

00:12:43.660 AMLO, our neighbor to the south there, warning, threatening Americans that if Republicans

00:12:52.780 don't cut it out with the tough talk on Mexico, he's going to tell all of the Mexican nationals 1.00

00:12:59.740 who are living in the United States and their descendants, not to vote for Republicans.

00:13:05.280 Here's what he said.

00:13:05.800 I'll translate.

00:13:07.440 Starting today, we're going to initiate an information campaign aimed at Mexicans.

00:13:11.060 Who live and work in the United States, all these Hispanics, to inform them about what 1.00

00:13:22.900 we are doing in Mexico and on how this initiative from the Republicans, besides being irresponsible,

00:13:32.380 is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of respect for our independence, for

00:13:41.020 our sovereignty.

00:13:43.100 And if they do not change their attitude and think that they are going to use Mexico for

00:13:50.340 their propagandist, electioneering, and dirty political purposes, we are going to call for 0.96

00:14:00.520 them not to vote for that party.

00:14:02.440 There's the key.

00:14:04.060 There is the key.

00:14:06.040 What is he talking about with the Republicans?

00:14:07.420 The Republicans are saying we got to get tough on the cartels.

00:14:09.580 We got to put troops on the border to stop the invasion of foreign nationals who are controlled 0.83

00:14:13.900 by the cartels.

00:14:15.640 That the government of Mexico is just not stable enough.

00:14:19.740 They obviously can't govern their own affairs.

00:14:21.260 So we're going to start taking care of our own issues on the border.

00:14:25.820 And it's the Republicans who are talking about this, much more than the Democrats are.

00:14:28.940 And so AMLO says, oh, yeah, well, if you keep it up, if you keep getting tough on us, we're

00:14:33.560 going to tell all of those Mexicans in your country to vote for Democrats.

00:14:36.740 First of all, a lot of Mexicans and a lot of Hispanics who cross through Mexico to get 1.00

00:14:43.380 to the United States do vote for Democrats.

00:14:45.200 There has been a movement away from Democrats among Hispanic voters.

00:14:48.600 So maybe AMLO is getting a little big for his britches here.

00:14:51.620 Maybe he's suggesting that he has more influence over Mexican voters in America than he actually

00:14:57.280 does.

00:14:57.580 As that may well be the case, regardless of whether it's true or not, though, the president

00:15:02.240 of Mexico certainly thinks that the Mexicans who have immigrated to America consider themselves

00:15:09.080 Mexicans more than Americans, which is always the fear with mass migration.

00:15:14.580 It's nothing against Mexicans.

00:15:15.800 It's nothing against Hispanic people broadly.

00:15:17.760 This is true of everybody.

00:15:18.900 If you have massive waves of migration into a new country and you don't have assimilation,

00:15:23.020 and it all happens in a short period of time, you are going to have a much closer allegiance

00:15:27.620 to the country and culture that you left.

00:15:31.180 And especially in the United States, where Hispanics tend to settle in communities by themselves,

00:15:37.360 they are not only permitted but actually encouraged to continue speaking Spanish.

00:15:40.960 Rather than being forced to learn English in schools, now we're forcing American school 1.00

00:15:44.840 children to learn Spanish or strongly encouraging them to do that or offering ESL classes.

00:15:50.560 Now the Republicans are the ones offering a State of the Union response in Spanish.

00:15:54.860 So you have essentially zero assimilation.

00:15:57.840 You have zero border enforcement whatsoever.

00:16:00.000 You're going to wait 10 years to get an appointment at the ICE office.

00:16:03.460 So how do you say that you've got a nation?

00:16:07.560 If other world leaders are laughing at us to our faces and saying, ha, ha, ha, you think

00:16:13.760 you have a nation, I'm going to command my people who are in your country to vote for who

00:16:19.400 I want them to vote for, then what that foreign leader is saying is I've got control over your 0.96

00:16:25.000 political order because you do not have a stable political order because you don't have

00:16:28.780 a proper nation.

00:16:30.780 AMLO isn't some Republican scaremonger saying that.

00:16:35.100 He's the leftist president of Mexico and he probably knows a thing or two about what he's

00:16:39.700 talking about since he is one of the people behind the crisis at the border.

00:16:44.940 Makes a really good conservative argument on borders and immigration.

00:16:48.400 But our ruling class already knows that argument. 0.99

00:16:50.260 They know the argument is true.

00:16:51.620 They just like the consequences of the open borders.

00:16:54.640 Speaking of elections and people with Hispanic last names, George Santos,

00:16:59.820 the embattled Republican congressman has just filed his re-election bid.

00:17:07.620 Santos, you know, the congressmen have to run every two years.

00:17:10.300 And so Santos says he is going to run for re-election.

00:17:12.440 He's not going to step down even in the wake of people finding out that he's lied about his

00:17:17.020 business, his education, possibly his sexual desires, his everything.

00:17:25.400 He's lied about almost everything.

00:17:28.380 He won't resign.

00:17:30.900 Not only will he not resign, he's going to run again.

00:17:33.160 I say, okay.

00:17:36.680 Okay.

00:17:39.040 George Santos' district is the third congressional district in New York.

00:17:43.780 It's a D plus two district.

00:17:45.180 It's not that you couldn't swing it to a Republican, but it is a Democrat district.

00:17:49.360 Santos is holding it as a Republican.

00:17:51.000 If George Santos has committed any crimes, he should be prosecuted for those crimes.

00:17:57.540 If you're saying that this is the worst guy in the world, he's committed fraud, he's a

00:18:01.760 total huckster, he's, okay, prosecute him then.

00:18:06.080 But if you're not going to prosecute him, if this is all just kind of talk and political

00:18:11.340 attacks, I don't see any reason for Republicans to call on him to resign.

00:18:15.180 I don't see any reason for Republicans to call on him not to run again.

00:18:17.300 Is there another Republican in that district who could win a general election, who could

00:18:24.680 beat Santos in a primary and then win in a general election that we could count on in

00:18:30.800 a D plus two district?

00:18:31.840 If there is, okay, fine.

00:18:33.340 I don't have any particular affection for George Santos.

00:18:35.720 I don't know the guy and he certainly seems kind of weird.

00:18:37.640 But if not, if Santos not running for reelection means that a Democrat will take that seat and

00:18:48.760 the razor thin Republican majority in the House will be imperiled, yeah, of course, tell him

00:18:52.640 to run again.

00:18:54.160 Of course.

00:18:54.820 Did the Democrats rally and say, Elizabeth Warren lied about a significant aspect of her

00:19:00.760 identity for professional advancement in this really bizarre pathological way for her whole

00:19:06.920 career and she needs to resign? 1.00

00:19:08.400 No.

00:19:09.580 Some of them are still holding out that because Elizabeth Warren might be one 1024th Native

00:19:15.620 American possibly, that she didn't lie when she pretended to be an Indian for her whole

00:19:19.500 career and published recipes in a cookbook called Pow Wow Chow.

00:19:23.740 No, no, that's fine.

00:19:24.800 Joe Biden, who has lied about everything, Joe Biden, who I don't think can tell the difference

00:19:28.340 between truth and lies, who had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race because he lied

00:19:32.180 so much.

00:19:33.360 That guy gets to be the president of the United States.

00:19:35.100 You don't see Democrats calling on him to resign.

00:19:37.160 And so I'm not saying we give George Santos more power.

00:19:39.180 I'm not saying we promote the guy.

00:19:40.680 But can he hold a seat for us?

00:19:42.280 Yeah, I bet he could.

00:19:43.840 The stakes are very, very high here, okay?

00:19:48.020 We're talking about not just who gets to hold one House of Congress.

00:19:53.100 We're talking about what people are going to do with that political power.

00:19:55.360 And the Democrats have abused their political power.

00:19:57.300 To use just one example, they locked kids at home for absolutely no reason for the better

00:20:02.840 part of three years.

00:20:04.000 And even liberals are starting to see this.

00:20:05.600 Sonny Hostin on The View, who is wrong about almost everything.

00:20:09.000 Sonny Hostin just pointed out, you know, guys, did we kind of harm the kids for a couple

00:20:16.340 of years?

00:20:17.240 Over this pandemic, which is, people say it's totally over, but there are like a thousand

00:20:21.840 people dying from it still every day.

00:20:24.220 I'm a little nervous because teens are in a lot of trouble.

00:20:29.880 There's a mental health crisis.

00:20:31.200 I've seen it in my children.

00:20:32.760 They're in trouble now because they don't know how to speak to each other.

00:20:35.940 And they were, you know, out of school and they were homebound.

00:20:41.900 Good.

00:20:42.680 I'm glad.

00:20:43.740 Better late than never.

00:20:44.980 You're starting to get it.

00:20:46.500 Maybe when kids face statistically not a whole lot of health risk, pretty much like nothing

00:20:52.040 from this virus, and then you lock them out of school because the teacher unions want a

00:20:56.820 paid vacation, and then you coop them up in their home, their development will be slowed,

00:21:02.160 their education broadly will be slowed.

00:21:05.420 Yeah, that's true.

00:21:07.020 Their socialization will be slowed, their anxiety, their stress, even their suicidality

00:21:10.360 will increase.

00:21:11.020 Yeah, that's all true.

00:21:12.780 Maybe that was a bad thing to do.

00:21:14.180 But there's this weird switch that has happened, which is for many, many years, the sign of

00:21:22.080 a demagogue was the sort of person who would say, won't somebody please think of the children?

00:21:29.820 You think of the church lady in The Simpsons.

00:21:32.220 Won't somebody please think of the children?

00:21:36.380 And that was a fairly reliable sign of a demagogue.

00:21:40.600 However, that was back in a time when people thought of the children.

00:21:47.480 That was back in a time when people really cared about the children, tried to do what

00:21:50.460 was in their best interest, tried to pursue the common good, didn't only pursue their own

00:21:55.040 selfish interests.

00:21:55.940 Now, nobody is thinking of the children.

00:21:58.820 Now, it's kind of flipped.

00:22:00.780 And when someone says, won't somebody please think of the children?

00:22:03.840 They're expressing a legitimate concern.

00:22:07.200 Think about what we're doing to children.

00:22:08.400 We're locking them out of school. 0.99

00:22:10.400 We're chopping flesh off of their forearms and on their legs to create fate genitals. 1.00

00:22:15.660 We're castrating them at very, very young ages because we're indulging the delusion that a 1.00

00:22:21.060 boy can be a girl and a girl can be a boy. 0.99

00:22:22.780 And we're doing that to appease the sexual fetishes of very confused and disordered adults. 0.70

00:22:27.100 We've redefined marriage so that now we are creating children for the express purpose of

00:22:33.080 denying them their mother or their father, all to appease the disordered and selfish desires

00:22:39.040 of adults.

00:22:39.720 We are really screwing over the kids. 0.71

00:22:42.240 We really, really are.

00:22:43.700 And this is a relatively new phenomenon.

00:22:46.340 And it is no longer the sign of a demagogue to say, won't somebody please think of the children?

00:22:51.640 The conservatives have said it recently.

00:22:53.440 And now even liberals like Sonny Hostin on The View are saying, hey, you know, maybe those

00:22:57.620 conservatives have a point.

00:22:58.880 Maybe, like, is anybody thinking of the children?

00:23:02.700 Maybe we should.

00:23:03.500 Maybe that would be a good idea.

00:24:16.260 You know, my favorite comment yesterday was from Nicholas Polychronopoulos, what a great

00:24:22.340 name, says, speaking of close to sinful behaviors, what is the sick rationalization behind wearing

00:24:28.900 your watch on your right wrist?

00:24:30.960 It's true.

00:24:31.320 I do wear my watch on my right wrist.

00:24:33.420 I do it because I so admire Vladimir Putin, of course.

00:24:36.320 No, no, I don't.

00:24:37.420 Don't clip that out.

00:24:38.320 It's a joke.

00:24:39.060 Don't clip that out.

00:24:40.240 Though I did notice one time he wears it on his right wrist.

00:24:43.740 I think he does that, though, because he's a lefty, and I'm a lefty, and so I wear my

00:24:48.240 watch on my right wrist.

00:24:49.280 Also, since I got married, okay, I don't want to have multiple pieces of jewelry on one hand.

00:24:55.640 I know I'm Italian, but that seems a little bit too much, okay?

00:24:58.820 And to this point, I'm wearing my watch on my wrong wrist.

00:25:04.400 I'm a lefty.

00:25:05.900 I just want to take this opportunity to point out, I'm willing to tolerate eccentricity in

00:25:13.080 society, okay?

00:25:14.540 I am very liberal-minded.

00:25:16.560 I'm very tolerant.

00:25:18.060 I'm so pluralistic.

00:25:19.620 Some people are calling me authoritarian and all these sorts of mean names over the past week 0.95

00:25:24.860 because I think that we shouldn't be hacking off people's genitals. 0.97

00:25:28.040 But no, I'm willing. 0.86

00:25:30.180 In fact, I'm embodying some of the eccentricity and diversity in society.

00:25:34.020 I just think that there's a line, okay?

00:25:38.920 So if you want to wear your watch on the wrong wrist, that's fine. 0.99

00:25:42.820 If you want to hack off your genitals, that's not fine. 0.99

00:25:45.440 There's got to be a line somewhere, okay? 0.99

00:25:48.060 And that's where I am drawing it.

00:25:52.260 Speaking of that topic that everybody seems to be talking about all the time now, did you

00:25:57.520 see Drew Barrymore yesterday with Dylan Mulvaney?

00:26:00.920 You probably did.

00:26:01.800 And this was on Drew Barrymore's show.

00:26:06.240 Drew, who I generally like as a public figure.

00:26:08.720 She seems very likable and charming and delightful.

00:26:12.360 She was interviewing Dylan Mulvaney, this transvestite man who performs this wild caricature of a 1.00

00:26:20.680 woman and seems to have a lot of problems. 1.00

00:26:23.640 I did an in-depth sort of exploration of Dylan Mulvaney, which you can find over on my YouTube

00:26:29.180 channel, that went a little bit viral because I think a lot of Dylan Mulvaney's expression

00:26:37.740 is not about biology and it's not about sex and gender identity.

00:26:42.640 I think a lot of it is owing to the fact that he is an actor.

00:26:45.340 People keep forgetting that he's playing a role.

00:26:47.120 So Drew Barrymore is interviewing him and it got weird.

00:26:51.780 Where do you find the strength to keep being the joy?

00:26:56.680 Well, I think having my chosen family and the people that I love to take care of me.

00:27:01.880 But I also think there's something just about making sure that you don't put something out there

00:27:09.920 before you're ready and really just surrounding yourself with good people.

00:27:14.340 It's interesting because I look at someone like you and I can't imagine anybody disliking you.

00:27:19.580 Oh, please.

00:27:20.720 Do you know, do you want to know, ironically, who dislikes me the most sometimes?

00:27:26.500 Who?

00:27:27.180 Myself.

00:27:28.080 Put a pause there.

00:27:29.080 Put a pause there.

00:27:31.220 So this is the moment that everyone's focusing on because Drew Barrymore gets down on her knees 0.99

00:27:36.020 almost like if you were religious, maybe you'd get down on your knees and pray before an icon or a statue.

00:27:44.080 You're in an act of veneration.

00:27:46.560 But before we get into all that weirdness, the thing about what Drew says, she goes,

00:27:50.900 Gino, who often hates me the most sometimes is myself.

00:27:54.620 And it's a sort of a saccharine line.

00:27:59.820 But I'm sure this is true of a lot of people.

00:28:01.960 Everybody has self-doubts.

00:28:03.500 Everybody has insecurities.

00:28:05.900 Everybody kind of hates themselves sometimes.

00:28:09.860 Especially if you think about you're a teenager, you're angsty, whatever period of life where you've

00:28:13.560 had a little bit of angst or something.

00:28:16.040 You have probably felt this way.

00:28:17.860 So then what?

00:28:22.080 Then what?

00:28:22.680 We can't just leave it at that.

00:28:25.020 You have to ask yourself, okay, if I hate myself, what is causing that?

00:28:30.940 Is it because I have been lied to?

00:28:35.780 Is it because I have been abused?

00:28:38.780 Is it because I am being treated unjustly?

00:28:42.680 Well, if that's the case, then the way to fix it is to extricate yourself from that bad

00:28:47.600 situation or from that bad relationship.

00:28:52.280 Or do I have this feeling of hatred for myself because I'm doing something wrong?

00:28:59.960 And so it's not that I'm hating myself.

00:29:01.540 I just hate the wrong thing that I am doing.

00:29:03.820 In the same way that you would say about someone else, love the sinner, hate the sin.

00:29:07.220 You don't like the things, the bad things that people are doing.

00:29:11.300 And so you want to stop people from doing those bad things.

00:29:14.000 Well, that same rule can apply to yourself.

00:29:16.300 Which is it?

00:29:18.660 People want to just jump to, no, you got to love yourself.

00:29:21.120 You got to affirm yourself, baby.

00:29:22.460 You do it.

00:29:23.120 You're a goddess.

00:29:23.920 You're the greatest.

00:29:24.740 You're the queen.

00:29:25.480 Slay. 0.87

00:29:26.040 Yeah.

00:29:26.540 No.

00:29:26.960 The first thing, if you have a feeling of self-hatred, the first thing you have to ask

00:29:32.340 yourself is, is this feeling just?

00:29:37.920 Am I reacting against something that I really should hate?

00:29:40.820 Maybe not myself, but something that I am doing.

00:29:42.900 If so, fix the thing that you're doing.

00:29:46.320 If it's because of a distorted perception of yourself because of external circumstances,

00:29:50.640 get yourself out of those circumstances.

00:29:52.500 If it's because of a distorted view of the whole world, well, fix your view of the world.

00:29:58.200 It reminds me of that C.S. Lewis quote that I always go back to.

00:30:01.040 If you look for truth, you might find comfort in the end.

00:30:03.800 If you look for comfort, you'll find neither truth nor comfort, only soft soap and wishful

00:30:07.560 thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

00:30:10.800 That feeling is not going to go away, and it's so central to the transgender argument.

00:30:16.520 Say, I feel uncomfortable with myself.

00:30:18.080 I hate myself.

00:30:18.800 I don't like the way I am, and so the way that I'm going to fix this is I'm going to

00:30:23.360 chop up my body, and that's going to fix my feelings of anxiety and stress and suicidality.

00:30:28.200 Except it doesn't.

00:30:29.340 It doesn't.

00:30:29.900 And this is why Paul McHugh, who pioneered the transgender transition surgery at Johns

00:30:34.960 Hopkins, he opened the Gender Identity Clinic.

00:30:37.160 This is why he shut it down.

00:30:38.900 It's because it didn't really improve outcomes.

00:30:40.880 People were essentially the same in the long run as they were before the surgery.

00:30:45.240 It's not that they were much worse off.

00:30:46.660 It's not that there were huge rates of regret.

00:30:48.220 They just, it just didn't really help anything.

00:30:50.200 So he shut it down because the source of those problems is from a conflict between one's delusions

00:31:00.320 and reality, or one's vice and reality, or ways that we are not living in accord with

00:31:07.440 right reason.

00:31:08.100 You're not going to fix that by just brushing it over.

00:31:10.260 However, that's the soft soap, and that's not going to lead you.

00:31:13.860 The truth will set you free.

00:31:15.700 The soft soap and the wishful thinking will ultimately just lead you to a kind of despair.

00:31:20.220 Okay, keep going.

00:31:20.680 And, but, I guess, you know, you've asked me now, like, you've asked me, like, what I

00:31:33.400 would do to combat the hate, right?

00:31:35.400 Yeah.

00:31:35.760 But what do you do?

00:31:37.000 Okay, that's a great question.

00:31:38.780 Now, I started-

00:31:39.300 You've been doing it a little longer than I have.

00:31:42.280 I love that line. 0.99

00:31:43.480 You're a lot older than me, Drew Barrymore, you crazy old hag. 1.00

00:31:46.800 All right, now, tell me what you think. 0.99

00:31:48.060 No, that's not a nice thing to say to a lady, Dylan. 0.98

00:31:52.660 And then they're both sitting down there, and it becomes very silly when they're both

00:31:55.720 sitting down, because he is much larger than she is, because he's obviously a man, and she's

00:31:59.720 obviously a woman. 1.00

00:32:02.060 And the whole thing is so performative.

00:32:04.220 It's something that normal people recoil from in this self-love, therapeutic culture.

00:32:11.860 Let's just talk it out.

00:32:13.140 Let's just talk about our feelings, and we're going to do trust falls, and we're just going

00:32:17.040 to start to love ourselves.

00:32:20.780 You have to love yourself.

00:32:22.920 You should love yourself to a healthy degree.

00:32:28.500 If you love yourself too much in an unhealthy way, that's called narcissism.

00:32:34.140 If you don't love yourself sufficiently, then you're not going to be able to love your neighbor.

00:32:40.780 However, you're not going to be able to love really at all.

00:32:46.240 When Christ says in the Gospels, love your neighbor as you love yourself, well, if you

00:32:49.840 hate yourself, then you're going to hate your neighbor too, and society's not going to be

00:32:52.420 very nice.

00:32:53.600 So it is proper to love yourself in an appropriate way.

00:32:58.840 So what is that appropriate way?

00:33:01.660 Where is that going to come from?

00:33:03.080 Why would you love yourself?

00:33:04.500 If you feel that you sin, and you fall, and you're broken, as we all are, then why would

00:33:11.860 you love yourself?

00:33:14.280 Because you are made in the image and likeness of God.

00:33:16.800 Because you are higher than the other animals.

00:33:18.700 Because you possess a rational will.

00:33:20.880 Because you have will and intellect.

00:33:22.680 Because you can perceive objective reality.

00:33:25.460 Because you can reason about things, and you can reason about not just the things of this

00:33:29.580 world, but even the higher things, and the meaning behind those things.

00:33:33.500 That's why.

00:33:35.720 And as I often point out, all of these issues, they always come back to theology.

00:33:43.660 They always come back to religion, because that has to be the fundamental thing.

00:33:47.520 So you might say, well, I'm not very religious.

00:33:48.980 Okay, then your theology is going to be kind of wonky.

00:33:51.860 And all the rest of your thinking, all the way down to politics, is going to be a little

00:33:55.260 wonky, too.

00:33:55.880 I'm not saying you're completely helpless, but ultimately, it's not going to make sense.

00:34:03.100 And if you try to ground a love of self on just good feelings, or on willfulness, the

00:34:10.820 same kind of sheer willfulness that has Dylan Mulvaney insisting that he is a woman in the

00:34:16.620 face of all evidence to the contrary, you're not going to persuade anyone.

00:34:21.420 Because people are persuaded by reason, and logic, and truth.

00:34:25.380 They're not persuaded by will.

00:34:26.900 They might submit.

00:34:29.960 They might cower in fear.

00:34:31.820 They might pretend to believe if you insist with a sufficient force of will.

00:34:37.660 But you're not really going to persuade everybody.

00:34:39.560 The thing that persuades people is reason, and logic, and truth.

00:34:43.800 And so that's why children need to be educated in the way to properly exercise their faculties

00:34:49.060 of reason.

00:34:49.460 And this is why Ron DeSantis in Florida is going in and telling weirdo teachers and weirdo 0.98

00:34:54.180 teacher unions that they have to stop teaching gay porn in schools, and they've got to start 0.97

00:34:57.600 teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic.

00:34:59.200 And some teachers are very upset about this, such as one teacher who just went viral on

00:35:02.760 TikTok out of Dunedin High School in Florida.

00:35:06.060 Good evening.

00:35:07.080 Thank you, as always, for your kindness and for your insights.

00:35:09.100 So which books do I remove from my Florida high school classroom?

00:35:12.520 Because today, after school, we had a faculty meeting.

00:35:14.900 And we learned that our media specialist has to inventory every single book in our classroom,

00:35:20.040 whether it's a textbook, whether it's any other book we might have in a personal library

00:35:24.020 for our student use, every single book.

00:35:26.520 Because last year, under House Bill 1467, it requires now that every single book in our

00:35:32.120 classroom be inventoried by our media specialists to make sure that no titles contain pornography,

00:35:38.220 that they contain any references to gender identity, to sexual orientation.

00:35:43.560 He's making this with a straight face.

00:35:45.140 He's making this argument.

00:35:46.860 He's saying, can you believe it?

00:35:48.420 Now I've got to do my job.

00:35:49.700 And I've got to be transparent about what books I'm teaching to children in my classroom.

00:35:54.220 And now, because of this bill, I've got to go through all of these books that I've got.

00:35:59.380 And so far, you might be sympathetic toward him.

00:36:01.060 You say, yeah, you're right.

00:36:01.780 That's going to be a lot of work.

00:36:02.940 But okay, yeah, maybe you have reason to complain.

00:36:06.460 He says, and now they're telling me I can't even have pornography in my classroom.

00:36:11.920 Did you have pornography in your classroom?

00:36:14.780 Yeah.

00:36:15.580 Well, now I definitely want you to go through all of your books.

00:36:18.740 Because I thought he was going to say, and look, I've got all these normal books,

00:36:21.740 but maybe there's one word here or one word there.

00:36:24.540 And maybe it'll rankle some of the conservatives in the Board of Education or something.

00:36:30.920 No, he's just, he's calling it pornography.

00:36:32.960 He's saying, yeah, I have to take all the porn out of my classroom now.

00:36:36.100 Yeah, you do, bro. 0.90

00:36:37.140 Probably you should be taken out of the classroom. 0.78

00:36:39.120 If you think that it is right to have pornography in your classroom

00:36:43.700 when you're teaching little kids, keep going.

00:36:46.340 And of course, to race-based teacher.

00:36:48.580 Now let that sink in for a second, because now I have a choice to make.

00:36:52.360 I have three eight-foot-tall bookshelves in my classroom

00:36:55.160 with subjects ranging from world religions to general nonfiction.

00:36:59.580 I have an entire section of African-American history.

00:37:02.400 I have all of American history ranging from the beginning all the way to the present.

00:37:06.600 I have a bookshelf of nothing but classics, mass and trade-sized paperbacks.

00:37:11.260 So now do I go through all of my textbooks and decide,

00:37:14.500 do I want to risk this book coming into the crosshairs of Moms for Liberty? 0.57

00:37:18.680 Yes.

00:37:19.040 Because all these textbook inventories, they'll now be shared with the public.

00:37:22.840 And that's exactly what Governor DeSantis wants.

00:37:25.340 He wants Moms for Liberty and other groups like that to scrutinize teachers like me 1.00

00:37:29.420 because the consequences of violating that state law are a third-degree felony.

00:37:34.740 So my friends, please be aware of what's happening here in Florida.

00:37:37.360 It's come to my high school.

00:37:38.820 It's come to every school in Pinellas County.

00:37:41.120 It's coming to every school in the state of Florida.

00:37:43.700 And when it comes to your state, be warned because you have to understand

00:37:47.260 the purpose of this is one thing, to intimidate teachers like me

00:37:51.600 from actually teaching the real history of our country.

00:37:55.240 Until that last couple of words there, you were so right.

00:37:58.420 The point is to intimidate teachers like you to prevent you from teaching pornography

00:38:04.860 and radical leftist ideology and lies, historical lies about the country.

00:38:12.080 That's the point.

00:38:13.800 I have three bookshelves.

00:38:15.220 That's not a lot of bookshelves.

00:38:17.100 I have to go through, I've got classics.

00:38:19.340 The classics are going to be fine.

00:38:20.400 I think you know the classics are going to be fine.

00:38:22.020 Well, I've got some textbooks that might fall afoul of it.

00:38:24.140 Good, get rid of them.

00:38:25.200 And now I've got to answer to Moms for Liberty. 1.00

00:38:27.220 Yeah, you really have to answer to the people of Florida

00:38:29.280 whose representatives passed this law.

00:38:32.680 Well, you're telling me that Moms and voters and the civil authority 1.00

00:38:37.460 are going to tell me what I can teach in the public schools?

00:38:40.660 Teachers like me?

00:38:41.480 Yeah, especially teachers like you, man.

00:38:44.020 This issue is a winning issue.

00:38:45.820 And so conservatives shouldn't squish on it.

00:38:47.320 I was sorry to see there was a clip of Governor Youngkin in Virginia

00:38:50.940 who won the Virginia governor's race largely on the transgender issue.

00:38:54.800 Governor Youngkin was asked about transing the kids.

00:39:02.120 His answer wasn't great.

00:39:04.000 Governor Youngkin, your transgender model policies require that students 0.99

00:39:07.340 play on the sports teams and use the restrooms that correspond

00:39:10.220 with their sex assigned at birth.

00:39:12.120 Look at me.

00:39:13.760 I am a transgender man.

00:39:15.800 Do you really think that the girls in my high school 0.95

00:39:17.780 would feel comfortable sharing a restroom with me?

00:39:20.540 Put a pause there.

00:39:21.380 Transgender man is not a real ontological category.

00:39:26.420 So what he's saying is,

00:39:27.660 I'm a woman who has been pumped full of testosterone, 0.99

00:39:32.380 would appear has had my breasts cut off, 0.96

00:39:35.360 has gone through some kinds of mutilations.

00:39:38.300 And yet, you look at this person and you think,

00:39:42.440 if the person were in different clothing

00:39:44.120 and maybe you couldn't see that she's had these mutilations,

00:39:49.180 would you say that could be a woman? 1.00

00:39:51.200 I think so.

00:39:53.840 Yeah, she has short hair. 1.00

00:39:55.200 We're now saying if you have short hair, you're a man.

00:39:57.940 It's amazing the kind of sexual stereotypes we revert to

00:40:01.640 when we start talking about this weird gender ideology. 1.00

00:40:07.760 And now imagine that she's wearing normal clothing

00:40:11.200 that is more natural for a woman to wear. 1.00

00:40:14.000 Or let's say she's wearing that clothing. 0.98

00:40:15.280 I mean, they're tomboys.

00:40:16.980 If this girl walked into a girl's bathroom, 1.00

00:40:20.040 would the girls all freak out? 0.92

00:40:21.920 If it's in a school, it's in a community, people know who people are.

00:40:25.260 Would they freak out that a girl is in the girl's bathroom? 0.98

00:40:28.980 No, I don't think so.

00:40:30.620 So what's Junkin's response?

00:40:32.800 So first of all, Nico, thank you for, again, asking the question,

00:40:35.660 being here tonight and engaging in this important discussion.

00:40:39.740 I believe first, when parents are engaged with their children,

00:40:43.220 then you can make good decisions together.

00:40:44.860 And I met your dad, and I'm glad that you're both here together.

00:40:47.280 That's really, really important.

00:40:49.720 I also think that there are lots of students involved in this decision.

00:40:54.960 And what's most important is that we try very hard to accommodate students.

00:41:00.960 That's why I have said many, many times,

00:41:03.500 we just need extra bathrooms in schools. 0.99

00:41:06.240 We need general neutral bathrooms. 1.00

00:41:07.980 And so we can use a bathroom that they, in fact, are comfortable with.

00:41:10.780 Pause, please.

00:41:11.780 Yeah, that's the problem.

00:41:13.060 We just don't have enough bathrooms.

00:41:14.380 That's it.

00:41:14.840 That's how we'll fix it.

00:41:17.320 We need a bathroom. 0.95

00:41:18.280 We need a third bathroom. 1.00

00:41:19.140 We need a third sports team.

00:41:20.200 We're going to have a sports team for all the transgender-identifying people.

00:41:23.380 Well, except that there's obviously a big difference between

00:41:26.420 men who identify as women and women who identify as men in their sports skills.

00:41:32.140 So, okay, we're going to have two new gender, transgender bathrooms. 1.00

00:41:35.740 And we're going to have two new transgender sports teams. 0.99

00:41:39.200 And so we're up to four bathrooms and four different kinds of sports teams.

00:41:44.220 But what about all the other genders?

00:41:45.300 Aren't there other genders too? 1.00

00:41:47.600 No, man.

00:41:49.220 You can't.

00:41:51.360 Ah!

00:41:51.900 Glenn Youngkin won his race on this issue.

00:41:54.080 He won his race in large part because the Daily Wire broke a story out of Loudoun County

00:41:57.840 that a boy who wore skirts went into a girl's bathroom and raped a girl.

00:42:02.860 And this was covered up by the superintendent of the school 0.96

00:42:05.360 because of the transgender issue and the political controversy surrounding it.

00:42:09.580 So what happened?

00:42:10.240 They moved the kid to another school.

00:42:11.420 What happened? 0.99

00:42:11.820 He raped another girl. 0.97

00:42:13.520 And parents, rightly, were so incensed by this

00:42:17.340 that they elected Glenn Youngkin, a Republican governor, in a deep blue commonwealth.

00:42:22.000 And now Glenn Youngkin is walking away from that

00:42:23.980 because he knows that Virginia is a purple commonwealth

00:42:28.440 and so he wants to seem like he's a moderate guy on this issue.

00:42:31.340 There's no middle way on transgenderism. 0.97

00:42:34.640 There's no middle ground between man and woman. 0.99

00:42:37.560 Those are distinctions.

00:42:38.560 Certain political issues lend themselves to conciliatory middle grounds.

00:42:43.660 This is not one of them.

00:42:45.100 The people want clarity.

00:42:46.260 So if Glenn Youngkin's new answer is quasi-transgenderism,

00:42:50.520 well, why not just elect the Democrat then?

00:42:53.160 A huge miscalculation.

00:42:54.880 Glenn Youngkin thinks he's going to run for president in 2024,

00:42:57.140 which is why he's doing this, I think.

00:42:58.680 And he's showing up in certain polls, pretty low in the polls,

00:43:01.840 but still, he's a serious candidate, could be a good vice presidential candidate.

00:43:05.760 And his moderation in many areas will probably help him.

00:43:10.580 This is not one of them.

00:43:12.240 The correct answer to tell this confused young woman

00:43:16.540 is that boys are boys and girls are girls

00:43:18.860 and girls shouldn't have to worry about men entering the women's bathroom 1.00

00:43:23.680 or entering the women's locker room and getting stripping down in front of them 1.00

00:43:27.600 like William Leah Thomas did.

00:43:30.980 And women have certain civil rights and certain private spaces 1.00

00:43:34.980 and certain special privileges.

00:43:36.740 And if we tolerate transgenderism at all, that gets stripped away. 0.97

00:43:40.000 And we are not going to accept that.

00:43:43.660 You've got to be clear on certain things, man.

00:43:46.400 If you stand in the middle of the road, you're going to get hit by a truck.

00:45:21.760 All right.

00:45:22.880 We've got a very, very little bit of time left.

00:45:25.440 So there are plenty of stories that I wanted to get into,

00:45:27.660 but we don't exactly have time.

00:45:29.680 There's one story I'll mention just in passing

00:45:32.420 because it's going under the radar,

00:45:35.720 but it tells you a lot about what our world

00:45:38.620 is probably going to look like very, very soon.

00:45:41.440 Xi Jinping, the leader of China.

00:45:45.060 He was just giving a very prominent annual political address.

00:45:49.660 And Xi Jinping said,

00:45:50.640 we will be dedicated to peace, development,

00:45:52.700 cooperation, and mutual benefits,

00:45:54.020 stand firmly on the right side of history,

00:45:55.540 practice true multilateralism,

00:45:56.960 and uphold the shared values of humanity.

00:46:00.760 Okay, good.

00:46:01.720 All sort of regular, platitudinous political speech.

00:46:05.980 So if you see, practice true multilateralism.

00:46:08.820 What does multilateralism mean?

00:46:10.020 It means lots of nations have a say in how the world is run.

00:46:12.900 A lot of people pay lip service to this,

00:46:14.400 but what this means,

00:46:15.460 especially when it's coming out of China,

00:46:17.020 is we're going to challenge the current world order,

00:46:21.480 which is American hegemony.

00:46:22.780 America is the sole superpower on earth.

00:46:25.320 We're going to challenge that.

00:46:26.300 We're going to practice multilateralism.

00:46:28.020 And then he says,

00:46:30.040 and this is coming from the Global Times.

00:46:33.240 The Global Times says,

00:46:34.340 the Chinese president said that China will play an active part

00:46:36.640 in the reform and development of the global governance system,

00:46:40.900 contribute its share to building an open world economy,

00:46:43.720 advance the implementation of the Global Development Initiative,

00:46:46.260 and the Global Security Initiative,

00:46:47.920 add more stability and positive energy

00:46:49.620 to the peaceful development of the world.

00:46:51.440 This is Xi Jinping saying,

00:46:54.000 we are challenging American hegemony.

00:46:56.340 He's saying it in a more naked way

00:46:57.760 than we have seen this before.

00:46:59.300 You are seeing this backed up with actions,

00:47:01.020 the spy planes flying over the country,

00:47:02.960 the aggression in the South China Sea

00:47:04.700 after decades of stealing US intellectual property,

00:47:08.340 after decades of violating

00:47:09.780 World Trade Organization treaties.

00:47:11.300 This is a push for a new world order.

00:47:17.980 And while I think many Americans fear that,

00:47:21.580 the scariest part is,

00:47:23.140 you've got the Biden administration cheering it on.

00:47:27.380 The scariest part is,

00:47:28.460 Biden for decades has said,

00:47:29.820 a growing China, a rising China is good for everybody.

00:47:32.840 And then just this week,

00:47:34.400 the Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm for Joe Biden,

00:47:36.800 said, China's been a model on climate change policy,

00:47:39.960 and we're going to try to model our policy after theirs.

00:47:42.300 You've got Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum

00:47:44.200 saying China is the model 0.99

00:47:45.720 we're trying to move toward a Chinese system.

00:47:48.500 You've got the implementation of mass surveillance,

00:47:51.320 of social credit scores,

00:47:52.880 of increasing national power,

00:47:56.180 overruling local power here in the United States.

00:47:58.760 When China says it's going to have a lot more of a say

00:48:01.180 in the global governance system, they're right.

00:48:02.800 China is going to have a lot more of a say 1.00

00:48:04.200 in the American governance system as well.

00:48:06.520 All right, we've got a TikTok.

00:48:08.800 TikTok, because today, of course, is Woke Wednesday.

00:48:12.580 And this TikTok, Mr. Davies hasn't told me much about it,

00:48:14.880 but he said that it's someone who's very angry at me.

00:48:18.160 So we try not to do too much navel-gazing stuff

00:48:20.460 on the regular part of the show,

00:48:21.560 but it's the member block.

00:48:22.680 We're here with the creme de la creme.

00:48:23.740 We're among friends,

00:48:24.400 so we'll see what these criticisms are

00:48:25.880 of your favorite podcast host.

00:48:28.020 The rest of the show continues now.
