00:00:30.520 While Americans are trying to work out 0.69

00:00:32.320 the difficult problem of what boys and girls are,

00:00:35.660 while American liberals are trying to imprison

00:00:37.920 the opposition leader on a trumped-up seven-year-old charge,

00:00:41.320 our enemies abroad are threatening to nuke the world. 0.60

00:00:45.400 Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman

00:00:47.740 of the Russian Security Council,

00:00:49.120 has just responded to the international criminal court's

00:00:52.240 arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin

00:00:54.220 by threatening to nuke any country

00:00:56.980 that attempts to carry it out.

00:00:58.860 He said, quote,

00:01:00.300 Let's imagine that it happened.

00:01:03.020 The incumbent head of a nuclear country

00:01:04.980 arrives in, say, Germany and is arrested.

00:01:07.840 What does it mean?

00:01:09.220 A declaration of war against Russia.

00:01:12.020 In such a case,

00:01:13.060 all our weapons will target the Bundestag,

00:01:16.100 the German chancellor's office,

00:01:17.800 and so on.

00:01:18.420 Bye, we'll drink our blood.

00:01:19.960 And of course, this is the case.

00:01:21.420 Of course, they would threaten to do this,

00:01:22.840 to arrest the leader of a nuclear former superpower 0.92

00:01:26.660 would be to declare World War III,

00:01:30.100 especially after the United Nations

00:01:32.060 High Commissioner for Human Rights

00:01:33.860 has declared that both Russia and Ukraine

00:01:37.120 have engaged in war crimes in the ongoing war

00:01:40.480 that threatens to destabilize the entire world.

00:01:43.280 Foreign policy does not usually decide presidential elections.

00:01:47.140 Americans care more about what's going on at home, 1.00

00:01:49.360 but we are living through a steady escalation

00:01:52.040 of the first major war in Europe since World War II,

00:01:55.800 a war and escalation that has been entirely predictable

00:01:59.960 and in fact was predicted

00:02:01.840 before each and every bungling step

00:02:04.480 made by the incompetent Biden administration.

00:02:07.580 The Democrats are all in on the war.

00:02:10.540 The Republicans are split,

00:02:12.200 with Trump calling to wind down the war

00:02:14.560 through a negotiated peace

00:02:15.740 and the rest of the Republican field

00:02:17.560 divided on the question.

00:02:19.000 Most Republicans just don't wanna talk about it.

00:02:21.560 But while the conflict is complex,

00:02:23.440 the options before us are not.

00:02:26.180 We can wind down the war,

00:02:28.680 salvage most of Ukraine, 0.79

00:02:30.300 and return the breadbasket of Europe

00:02:32.320 to the buffer state it has traditionally been,

00:02:34.760 or we can continue to roll the dice

00:02:37.480 toward a conflict that threatens to end

00:02:39.580 80 years of relative global peace.

00:02:41.880 Most people think things can't really get

00:02:45.160 that bad that quickly.

00:02:46.420 Perhaps they have not paid attention

00:02:48.720 to the thorough destruction of our economy,

00:02:51.480 rule of law,

00:02:52.260 and potentially even banking system

00:02:53.900 that's taken place over the last two years.

00:02:56.280 Perhaps people didn't pay attention

00:02:57.840 to the only good advice Barack Obama ever gave us,

00:03:01.600 which is never to underestimate the degree

00:03:04.780 to which Joe Biden can screw things up.

00:03:07.740 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:09.100 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:16.960 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:18.580 You know, Barack Obama's wording

00:03:20.900 was a little harsher than mine.

00:03:22.260 I cleaned that up because this is a family show.

00:03:25.080 And as a family show,

00:03:26.460 we will be celebrating

00:03:28.040 all the important cultural moments,

00:03:29.720 such as Women's History Month.

00:03:31.140 ESPN celebrated Women's History Month

00:03:35.020 this month with a long tribute to,

00:03:38.660 of course, William Leah Thomas.

00:03:40.540 We'll get to that in just a bit.

00:03:41.740 First, though, are we all going to get nuked?

00:03:43.740 Is the world over?

00:03:45.260 Why are we still in Ukraine?

00:03:47.060 What is the purpose of this war?

00:03:48.500 What is the goal here?

00:03:51.420 No one seems to be really sure

00:03:53.240 about exactly what we're doing

00:03:54.400 if Ukraine matters,

00:03:55.420 if Ukraine doesn't really matter.

00:03:56.840 Here's one piece of evidence

00:03:58.060 that we should not have anything

00:03:59.440 to do with Ukraine.

00:04:01.240 General Milley,

00:04:03.000 the woke general

00:04:03.940 who's really concerned about

00:04:05.620 white rage,

00:04:07.660 and he's basically 0.99

00:04:10.480 a purple-haired lesbian 0.90

00:04:11.760 at this point.

00:04:13.260 Not in his demeanor,

00:04:15.100 he seems like a gruff military guy,

00:04:16.580 but in the way he speaks,

00:04:17.920 he seems like a college sophomore

00:04:19.620 transgender studies major,

00:04:22.340 the way he talks about

00:04:23.300 critical theory and white rage

00:04:25.700 and all these woke questions.

00:04:27.600 General Milley says,

00:04:29.460 Ukraine is an important

00:04:30.540 national interest,

00:04:31.520 which is the strongest evidence yet

00:04:33.220 that it is not.

00:04:34.540 Milley said,

00:04:35.220 it's very clear

00:04:35.920 the strategic end state

00:04:37.040 is the global rules-based

00:04:38.120 international order

00:04:38.940 that was put in place in 1945

00:04:40.700 and making sure that's upheld.

00:04:42.900 He said,

00:04:43.320 this is an important

00:04:44.280 national interest.

00:04:47.580 Now, there are some

00:04:48.680 on the right

00:04:49.100 who are isolationists

00:04:50.240 who say we shouldn't have

00:04:50.920 anything to do

00:04:51.340 with the rest of the world.

00:04:52.300 There are others on the right

00:04:53.180 who say America is

00:04:54.000 the global hegemon

00:04:54.700 and we are the world police

00:04:55.700 and we have not only

00:04:57.080 a right but a responsibility

00:04:58.120 to govern the entire world

00:05:00.440 as the global empire.

00:05:01.560 Even if you don't want us

00:05:02.600 to do it,

00:05:03.060 you're not going to like it

00:05:04.140 when someone else

00:05:04.700 is governing the world.

00:05:07.360 There's merit to both points.

00:05:09.180 I don't actually think

00:05:10.480 it's quite so simple

00:05:11.440 as either of those things.

00:05:12.260 But the sad fact in practice

00:05:17.000 is that the people

00:05:18.080 who are running

00:05:19.200 that global empire 0.95

00:05:20.420 are completely incompetent. 0.76

00:05:23.800 They just are doing 0.99

00:05:25.860 a terrible job of it.

00:05:27.880 Every aspect of this Ukraine war

00:05:29.420 was predictable

00:05:30.000 and it's been predicted

00:05:31.740 since the fall of the Soviet Union,

00:05:33.520 since the 1990s.

00:05:35.060 And when we've followed

00:05:35.880 the advice of the people

00:05:36.800 who were warning about it,

00:05:37.740 things have been okay.

00:05:38.680 And when we disregarded

00:05:39.620 the advice of people

00:05:40.320 like George Kennan,

00:05:41.580 Henry Kissinger,

00:05:42.580 Sam Nunn,

00:05:43.660 Daniel Patrick Moynihan,

00:05:45.020 who said NATO

00:05:46.000 should not get too aggressive.

00:05:47.240 NATO should stop

00:05:47.900 expanding eastward.

00:05:49.120 We shouldn't necessarily

00:05:50.060 provoke regime change

00:05:51.240 in Ukraine

00:05:51.760 to oust pro-Russian leaders.

00:05:55.080 We should play this

00:05:55.660 a little more carefully

00:05:56.500 and a little less flamboyant

00:05:57.860 than we have been.

00:05:58.600 Every time we've ignored

00:05:59.680 that advice,

00:06:00.540 the conflict has escalated.

00:06:03.160 So you might be

00:06:04.280 the biggest war hawk

00:06:05.140 in the world

00:06:05.600 and you might say,

00:06:06.440 okay, we've got to show

00:06:07.320 American strength

00:06:08.020 at every point.

00:06:08.680 But do you really trust

00:06:09.500 these guys?

00:06:09.960 Do you trust Joe Biden?

00:06:10.980 Do you trust Mark Milley

00:06:11.760 to do that?

00:06:13.220 I don't.

00:06:14.020 I don't.

00:06:14.440 I don't think they have

00:06:15.060 an idea of what they're doing.

00:06:16.320 And I think we're just

00:06:17.040 stumbling into World War III

00:06:18.800 as Russia is saber-rattling 0.81

00:06:21.220 about nuclear weapons.

00:06:22.600 Saying, oh,

00:06:23.160 that could never happen.

00:06:24.400 Did you ever think

00:06:25.880 that he and she

00:06:28.960 would be controversial?

00:06:30.440 Did you ever think

00:06:31.000 that women's bathrooms 1.00

00:06:32.180 would be an object

00:06:33.120 of controversy?

00:06:34.080 I bet even five years ago

00:06:35.240 you would have said

00:06:35.680 that can never happen.

00:06:36.540 And it happens.

00:06:38.600 Things happen gradually

00:06:40.040 then suddenly

00:06:40.820 as Andrew Klavan likes

00:06:42.400 to quote

00:06:42.780 Ernest Hemingway.

00:06:45.520 And if you,

00:06:46.500 it's the only good advice

00:06:47.880 Barack Obama ever gave.

00:06:49.080 If you really think,

00:06:50.000 oh, Joe Biden

00:06:51.040 can't screw things up

00:06:51.860 that much.

00:06:52.700 I have got bad news

00:06:54.540 for you.

00:06:55.560 Speaking of irrational behavior,

00:06:57.620 Senator John Fetterman,

00:06:58.800 who is the Democrat senator

00:07:00.820 from Pennsylvania,

00:07:01.820 he remains hospitalized.

00:07:03.420 John Fetterman has been

00:07:04.240 in the hospital now

00:07:04.960 since February 16th.

00:07:06.220 It's almost April.

00:07:07.680 And he checked himself

00:07:08.520 into the hospital

00:07:09.120 because he apparently

00:07:10.060 is suffering from depression.

00:07:11.620 This, though,

00:07:12.240 as a result of a major stroke

00:07:15.380 on the campaign trail

00:07:16.700 and then potentially

00:07:17.700 some other strokes

00:07:19.020 or stroke-like symptoms.

00:07:20.400 So he's been in there

00:07:21.280 for six weeks

00:07:22.380 and the doctors say

00:07:23.260 he might remain hospitalized

00:07:24.120 for another two weeks.

00:07:25.160 They keep saying

00:07:25.520 another two weeks,

00:07:26.120 another two weeks.

00:07:26.840 And they're saying

00:07:27.220 he's going to remain hospitalized

00:07:28.180 for another two weeks

00:07:28.940 to get his medication

00:07:30.040 exactly right.

00:07:30.780 obviously wish

00:07:31.860 Senator Fetterman very well.

00:07:33.360 He doesn't belong in the Senate.

00:07:34.380 He should be home recovering.

00:07:35.860 It's horrible

00:07:36.620 what the Democrats

00:07:37.260 and what his family

00:07:38.380 have done to him.

00:07:39.220 And they should allow the man

00:07:40.400 to step down

00:07:41.960 and take care of his health

00:07:42.660 in peace.

00:07:43.900 But they're not going to do that.

00:07:45.120 So they're going to try

00:07:45.780 to tweak all of these

00:07:46.780 powerful psych drugs

00:07:47.940 to get him to just

00:07:49.060 the right spot

00:07:49.680 where he can sit in the Senate

00:07:50.960 and give a reliable vote

00:07:52.480 to Chuck Schumer

00:07:53.140 and Joe Biden.

00:07:54.460 Which got me thinking

00:07:55.620 not about John Fetterman,

00:07:57.100 not about whatever he's going

00:07:58.540 through at Walter Reed Hospital

00:07:59.480 right now.

00:07:59.940 It got me thinking

00:08:00.960 of the craziness

00:08:01.960 in our country.

00:08:03.260 People are not rational.

00:08:04.960 They're less rational

00:08:05.820 than usual

00:08:06.520 in our country right now.

00:08:08.060 And everyone's trying

00:08:08.760 to explain why.

00:08:09.440 Is it because of critical theory?

00:08:11.000 Is it because of communism?

00:08:12.960 Is it because of 0.91

00:08:13.900 all the weird sex stuff? 0.99

00:08:15.240 Is it because of immigrants? 0.99

00:08:17.180 Is it because of

00:08:18.040 I think I've honed in

00:08:20.160 on an explanation

00:08:21.260 that very few people

00:08:22.540 have brought up

00:08:23.100 which we'll get to

00:08:24.140 in one second.

00:08:25.100 First though,

00:08:25.640 when you want some stability

00:08:26.640 in your portfolio,

00:08:27.840 you got to check out

00:08:29.480 Birch Gold.

00:08:30.360 Right now,

00:08:30.840 text Knowles to 989898.

00:08:32.720 The Fed has a tendency

00:08:33.860 to print money

00:08:35.180 during times

00:08:35.880 of economic distress

00:08:36.780 like they did

00:08:37.940 during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

00:08:40.240 This has resulted

00:08:41.260 in the loss

00:08:42.000 of the value of a dollar

00:08:43.320 and an increase

00:08:44.240 in the value

00:08:44.700 of precious metals

00:08:45.340 like gold.

00:08:45.860 Gold will always

00:08:47.080 have inherent value

00:08:48.260 because it's a tangible

00:08:49.640 and finite resource

00:08:50.680 uncontrolled

00:08:51.520 by any single government

00:08:52.700 or financial institution.

00:08:54.660 Gold cannot simply

00:08:55.680 be printed on a whim

00:08:56.680 such as paper currency.

00:08:58.720 As the value

00:08:59.960 of our dollar

00:09:01.460 continues to decline,

00:09:02.420 it becomes increasingly

00:09:03.300 important to hedge

00:09:03.880 against inflation

00:09:04.540 by diversifying

00:09:05.820 at least some of your assets

00:09:07.100 into precious metals.

00:09:08.400 The only company

00:09:09.220 that I trust

00:09:09.860 to help you diversify

00:09:11.200 into precious metals

00:09:11.840 is Birch Gold.

00:09:13.300 Birch Gold also makes it easy

00:09:14.640 to convert your IRA

00:09:15.440 or 401k

00:09:16.380 into an IRA

00:09:17.300 backed by physical gold

00:09:18.580 and silver.

00:09:19.680 With an A-plus rating

00:09:21.780 thousands of happy customers,

00:09:24.480 Birch Gold is the company

00:09:25.580 that I trust

00:09:26.120 to protect my future

00:09:41.620 for the explanation

00:09:42.360 of why people

00:09:42.940 are so much crazier today

00:09:44.620 than they have been

00:09:45.560 in the past.

00:09:48.200 Has it ever occurred

00:09:49.360 to anyone

00:09:49.840 that maybe the reason

00:09:51.080 people are so crazy today

00:09:53.380 is because everyone

00:09:54.680 is hopped up

00:09:55.480 on drugs

00:09:56.080 all the time?

00:09:58.460 Not just the regular drugs,

00:10:00.960 not just the fact

00:10:01.640 that people now

00:10:02.180 wake and bake

00:10:02.840 and are smoking

00:10:03.360 the devil's lettuce

00:10:04.040 a lot of the time

00:10:04.940 and people are

00:10:05.980 popping all sorts of drugs,

00:10:07.260 but I mean specifically

00:10:08.140 these psychiatric drugs

00:10:09.320 that huge swaths

00:10:11.800 of the country

00:10:12.420 is on.

00:10:14.900 Nearly one in five

00:10:16.460 adult women

00:10:17.520 in the United States

00:10:18.400 is on anti-depression drugs.

00:10:20.220 Even among teenage girls,

00:10:23.600 it's over one in ten

00:10:25.240 are on these

00:10:26.300 anti-depression drugs.

00:10:27.480 A lot of men

00:10:27.940 are on it too

00:10:28.400 and there are a lot

00:10:29.280 of other psych drugs

00:10:30.100 that people are on.

00:10:32.580 There's a fair shot

00:10:33.320 if you're listening

00:10:33.800 to this show right now

00:10:34.860 that you're on

00:10:35.660 some of these drugs

00:10:36.480 and the mass prescription

00:10:39.240 of these drugs

00:10:39.960 seems to be pretty troubling

00:10:41.320 because one of the purposes

00:10:43.540 of these drugs

00:10:44.280 is to short circuit

00:10:45.360 your ability

00:10:46.080 to engage

00:10:46.960 in logical thinking.

00:10:48.500 That's the point of it, right?

00:10:49.660 If you are depressed

00:10:51.460 and for a long time

00:10:54.680 we were told

00:10:55.240 that people are depressed

00:10:56.320 because of a chemical imbalance

00:10:57.620 in the brain,

00:10:58.480 that theory,

00:10:59.300 that model,

00:10:59.820 that representation

00:11:00.500 of what depression is

00:11:01.420 seems to have been

00:11:02.200 completely debunked

00:11:03.260 in recent years.

00:11:04.100 So now they're going to come up

00:11:04.860 with some new image

00:11:05.600 and some new explanation for it.

00:11:07.220 But the one explanation

00:11:08.280 that people are never allowed

00:11:09.360 to consider

00:11:10.760 is that people are depressed

00:11:12.320 because it's logical

00:11:13.240 to be depressed

00:11:13.880 given the premises

00:11:14.600 that people begin with.

00:11:16.040 If people begin with the premise

00:11:17.120 that God doesn't exist,

00:11:18.340 there's no hope for anybody,

00:11:19.660 we're all going to pretty soon

00:11:20.640 take a dirt nap

00:11:21.300 and turn to worm food. 0.91

00:11:22.500 All that matters in life

00:11:23.500 is getting pleasure

00:11:24.300 and so when you're not

00:11:25.480 deriving pleasure,

00:11:26.460 that's really sad.

00:11:27.420 Along with other premises,

00:11:30.720 that we don't have

00:11:31.260 a right to a family,

00:11:32.000 we don't have a right

00:11:32.580 to a community,

00:11:33.400 that we don't have a right

00:11:34.180 to normal social relations.

00:11:35.940 So we see that the collapse

00:11:37.280 of all of the bedrock

00:11:38.760 political institutions

00:11:39.680 in the United States,

00:11:40.840 all of the things

00:11:41.740 that give people joy

00:11:43.360 traditionally.

00:11:45.100 And no wonder,

00:11:46.400 you're going to be shocked

00:11:47.020 to hear this,

00:11:47.580 people are depressed.

00:11:48.380 So then you go

00:11:48.960 to the psychiatrist

00:11:49.600 and you say,

00:11:50.400 hey doc,

00:11:50.880 my family's falling apart,

00:11:52.300 my country's falling apart,

00:11:53.520 I lost my job,

00:11:54.440 it was shipped overseas,

00:11:55.960 I don't,

00:11:56.480 my church doesn't even exist anymore,

00:11:58.860 no one's showing up

00:12:00.440 and everything's falling apart

00:12:01.820 and I'm kind of depressed.

00:12:02.760 What does the doctor say?

00:12:03.680 He says,

00:12:03.880 oh good,

00:12:04.200 I got some drugs for you.

00:12:07.200 Almost never treats

00:12:08.160 the actual problem.

00:12:09.180 They say,

00:12:09.380 no, it's okay,

00:12:09.840 I got some drugs

00:12:10.440 that are going to dull

00:12:11.080 your feelings

00:12:12.840 and are going to short circuit

00:12:14.440 that logic

00:12:15.060 that has logically led you

00:12:16.240 to become depressed.

00:12:18.040 Did anyone ever think

00:12:18.560 maybe that's why

00:12:19.680 people are a little bit

00:12:21.140 crazier these days?

00:12:24.240 I can't,

00:12:24.760 I can't help it,

00:12:25.660 I'll probably get in trouble

00:12:26.420 for even suggesting that.

00:12:28.000 But it seems to me

00:12:28.820 like if you're going to apply

00:12:30.040 a fifth of the country

00:12:32.040 with very,

00:12:32.860 very powerful psych drugs,

00:12:34.340 you shouldn't be surprised

00:12:35.400 when people start acting

00:12:36.320 a little quirky.

00:12:38.000 Speaking of women 1.00

00:12:38.960 who disproportionately

00:12:39.680 take these drugs,

00:12:40.380 politics reportedly

00:12:42.260 is getting very,

00:12:43.740 very heated

00:12:45.360 in dating life.

00:12:48.180 So increasingly,

00:12:49.600 political difference

00:12:50.320 is a deal breaker,

00:12:51.800 especially for women. 0.92

00:12:53.260 This is a report out

00:12:54.240 in The Hill,

00:12:56.980 other people reporting

00:12:57.740 on this study.

00:12:58.560 86% think that it has grown

00:13:01.400 more difficult

00:13:02.020 to date someone

00:13:02.880 who supports

00:13:03.900 the opposing political party

00:13:05.140 in recent years.

00:13:05.800 This according to

00:13:06.480 a 2020 YouGov Economist poll.

00:13:08.460 More than half of men

00:13:10.920 said they would date someone

00:13:12.560 with different views,

00:13:13.840 whereas only 35% of women 0.94

00:13:16.020 said that they would date

00:13:16.980 someone with opposing views.

00:13:19.040 48% of Republicans

00:13:20.340 said they would date someone

00:13:21.100 with opposing views

00:13:21.940 because we're rather tolerant.

00:13:23.380 49% of independents

00:13:24.660 said the same thing.

00:13:25.740 Only 40% of Democrats

00:13:27.100 said they would date

00:13:27.740 a Republican.

00:13:29.400 Everyone's focusing on this

00:13:30.900 as it pertains to politics.

00:13:34.520 So you're saying,

00:13:35.020 see, the Democrats

00:13:35.740 aren't tolerant,

00:13:36.640 the Republicans are tolerant.

00:13:37.800 See, our politics

00:13:38.780 is getting so polarized

00:13:40.000 and we just can't talk

00:13:41.600 to each other

00:13:42.060 and nobody's in the middle anymore.

00:13:43.300 No one respects differences.

00:13:44.420 And sure,

00:13:45.060 that might have something

00:13:45.660 to do with it,

00:13:46.140 but I actually don't think

00:13:47.040 that politics

00:13:47.640 is the big issue

00:13:48.860 in this story.

00:13:50.360 I think dating

00:13:51.760 is the big issue.

00:13:52.880 Specifically,

00:13:53.420 I think marriage

00:13:54.120 is the big issue.

00:13:56.340 The way to explain

00:13:57.120 those numbers

00:13:57.660 is not that politics

00:13:58.760 has gotten crazier.

00:13:59.540 Politics is always crazy.

00:14:01.000 The way to explain

00:14:01.460 those numbers

00:14:01.940 is to point to

00:14:03.020 how late

00:14:04.240 people are getting married.

00:14:05.400 As people put off marriage,

00:14:08.400 as people don't get married at all

00:14:09.400 or they put off marriage

00:14:10.220 later and later and later,

00:14:11.460 what you're seeing

00:14:12.020 is that people

00:14:12.460 are becoming more solidified

00:14:13.680 in their views.

00:14:14.980 As people become

00:14:15.600 more solidified

00:14:16.240 in their views,

00:14:16.880 as people become

00:14:17.640 more independent,

00:14:19.320 as people become

00:14:20.120 formed on their own,

00:14:21.820 it becomes a lot harder

00:14:22.680 to build a life

00:14:23.780 with someone else.

00:14:26.360 People are either

00:14:27.080 going to grow together

00:14:27.880 or they're going to grow apart.

00:14:28.880 So when people

00:14:29.400 were marrying

00:14:29.860 their high school sweethearts

00:14:30.800 and getting married

00:14:31.400 at 21 or 22,

00:14:32.960 you're barely formed

00:14:35.740 at that point

00:14:36.200 and so you're going

00:14:36.640 to form together.

00:14:38.640 But if you're getting married

00:14:39.700 at 32 or 42 or 52,

00:14:42.420 you are an established person

00:14:44.200 and so it's unlikely

00:14:45.940 that in your 40s

00:14:47.640 you're going to meet somebody

00:14:48.720 and have that person

00:14:49.400 completely change

00:14:50.380 your view of the world.

00:14:52.520 And so these people

00:14:53.100 are saying,

00:14:53.420 well now I'm not willing

00:14:54.400 to date someone

00:14:55.000 with opposing political views.

00:14:56.340 Right,

00:14:56.600 because when you're 16,

00:14:58.120 your political views

00:14:58.880 can change.

00:14:59.560 Your views on pretty much

00:15:00.380 everything can change.

00:15:01.300 But when you're older,

00:15:02.080 that's much harder.

00:15:03.380 So it's an argument

00:15:03.960 not for the Democrats

00:15:05.220 even to get more tolerant

00:15:06.300 or to reach across the aisle.

00:15:07.520 It's an argument

00:15:08.240 to get moving

00:15:11.040 in the dating pool

00:15:12.080 much younger guys

00:15:13.760 and start settling down

00:15:15.240 much younger.

00:15:16.100 It's not the end

00:15:16.880 of your life.

00:15:17.620 It's really the beginning

00:15:18.580 of your life

00:15:19.140 and it's the beginning

00:15:19.580 of this new thing

00:15:20.600 which happens to be

00:15:21.700 the fundamental

00:15:22.500 political institution.

00:15:23.860 Speaking of politics,

00:15:25.100 huge political news.

00:15:26.900 Very few people

00:15:27.440 are reporting on this

00:15:28.440 but it tells you a lot

00:15:30.280 about the 2024

00:15:30.940 presidential primary race.

00:15:32.960 A friend of mine

00:15:34.860 has just signed on

00:15:35.940 to a pro-DeSantis

00:15:36.720 super PAC.

00:15:37.340 That would be Jeff Rowe.

00:15:39.280 Jeff Rowe is a very

00:15:40.840 prominent political consultant

00:15:42.440 and he was the chief

00:15:44.520 strategist for Ted Cruz.

00:15:46.300 He has been the chief

00:15:47.380 strategist for Ted Cruz.

00:15:48.300 He's been the chief strategist

00:15:49.980 to Glenn Youngkin

00:15:50.980 and he's worked on

00:15:53.600 a zillion campaigns.

00:15:54.560 He's a total political legend

00:15:55.660 and now he's signing on

00:15:56.680 to a super PAC

00:15:58.060 that it's called

00:15:58.940 Never Back Down.

00:16:00.120 So it's not the DeSantis campaign

00:16:01.320 but it's a PAC

00:16:02.480 that exists to serve

00:16:04.160 the DeSantis campaign.

00:16:05.440 And the PAC was launched

00:16:06.600 by Ken Cuccinelli.

00:16:07.580 Ken Cuccinelli is another

00:16:08.580 legendary Republican figure.

00:16:10.860 Ken Cuccinelli served

00:16:12.260 as the acting deputy

00:16:13.320 secretary of Homeland Security

00:16:14.940 and acting director

00:16:16.280 of U.S. Citizenship

00:16:17.360 and Immigration Services

00:16:18.160 under Trump.

00:16:19.280 What does this all mean?

00:16:22.020 This means that the race 1.00

00:16:24.660 is consolidating

00:16:26.060 around Trump and DeSantis,

00:16:28.280 which a lot of people

00:16:29.540 felt was happening.

00:16:31.040 A lot of people could intuit

00:16:32.060 that that's what was going on.

00:16:33.960 But we're not just talking

00:16:34.840 about voters

00:16:36.000 or public opinion polls.

00:16:37.140 We're talking about

00:16:37.740 the power players in the GOP

00:16:39.840 are consolidating.

00:16:41.800 They're not dividing up.

00:16:43.200 It's not that some of them

00:16:43.980 are going to work for

00:16:44.540 Nikki Haley.

00:16:45.360 Some are going to work

00:16:45.920 for Tim Scott.

00:16:46.860 Some are going to Mike Pence.

00:16:48.160 Some are going here.

00:16:49.040 Some are going there.

00:16:49.660 No.

00:16:51.240 It's pretty much everybody

00:16:52.440 is picking either

00:16:53.400 Trump or DeSantis.

00:16:55.180 Erin Perrine,

00:16:56.280 who was the press

00:16:57.140 communications director

00:16:58.120 for Trump's 2020 campaign,

00:16:59.900 she just joined this PAC too.

00:17:01.300 So she flipped

00:17:01.920 from Trump to DeSantis.

00:17:03.600 She's now working

00:17:04.660 for Never Back Down.

00:17:07.260 This is bad news

00:17:08.460 for the non-Trump

00:17:10.080 and DeSantis candidates.

00:17:11.760 The only non-Trump

00:17:13.220 and DeSantis candidate

00:17:14.040 who I think this isn't

00:17:14.860 necessarily bad news for

00:17:16.040 is Vivek Ramaswamy

00:17:17.760 because Vivek is such

00:17:19.640 a weird candidate.

00:17:20.640 He's so out of left field.

00:17:21.600 He's never been a governor

00:17:22.280 or senator

00:17:22.700 or anything like that.

00:17:23.900 He can be a self-funder.

00:17:25.300 He's made a lot of money

00:17:26.000 in business.

00:17:26.440 So I think his lane in the race

00:17:31.440 remains the weird,

00:17:32.720 quirky kind of outsider.

00:17:34.780 The bad version of that

00:17:35.920 is the Andrew Yang lane.

00:17:37.220 The good version of that

00:17:38.060 is the Donald Trump lane.

00:17:39.200 And Vivek is very sharp

00:17:40.600 and he's offering

00:17:42.500 something different

00:17:43.560 than the other candidates are.

00:17:45.840 But what you are seeing here,

00:17:48.260 I think,

00:17:48.600 is a lot of anti-Trump Republicans

00:17:50.580 and even some formerly

00:17:51.980 pro-Trump Republicans

00:17:52.760 who just don't think

00:17:53.460 he's the guy this year.

00:17:54.240 They want to avoid

00:17:56.480 what happened in 2016.

00:17:59.440 In 2016,

00:18:00.700 there were a thousand

00:18:01.280 candidates in the race

00:18:02.260 and everybody was

00:18:03.120 divided up among them.

00:18:04.760 And Trump pursued

00:18:06.460 a divide and conquer strategy.

00:18:07.980 So Trump could consistently

00:18:09.140 just get a plurality.

00:18:10.300 He didn't need to get a majority.

00:18:12.020 And frankly,

00:18:12.920 had Marco Rubio

00:18:13.740 and John Kasich

00:18:14.440 pulled out of the race sooner,

00:18:15.460 even if just Marco Rubio

00:18:16.500 had pulled out of the race sooner,

00:18:18.760 Ted Cruz very likely

00:18:19.680 would have been

00:18:20.020 the Republican nominee.

00:18:21.100 But because it remained

00:18:21.860 so divided up,

00:18:23.340 Trump became the nominee

00:18:24.220 so that you're seeing

00:18:25.440 the establishment GOP

00:18:26.820 and just the people

00:18:27.500 who don't want Trump this year.

00:18:29.580 They're learning.

00:18:31.280 Okay,

00:18:31.700 it's the establishment,

00:18:32.780 it's the conservatives

00:18:33.720 who,

00:18:34.400 for whatever reason,

00:18:34.960 never liked Trump

00:18:35.640 or just don't like him anymore.

00:18:38.480 They're learning.

00:18:39.220 They're saying,

00:18:39.600 we're not going to make

00:18:41.300 the same mistake again.

00:18:43.380 So the question is going to be

00:18:44.140 for these other candidates.

00:18:45.080 Are they going to stay

00:18:45.660 in the race for a long time?

00:18:47.200 Or is this going to be

00:18:48.580 a relatively quick campaign?

00:18:50.960 You make a deal

00:18:51.400 with either Trump or DeSantis.

00:18:52.540 You say,

00:18:52.820 okay,

00:18:52.900 I'll drop out and endorse you

00:18:53.920 and you got to give me

00:18:54.540 Secretary of Labor

00:18:55.300 or something like that.

00:18:56.600 It seems to be happening

00:18:57.340 very quickly though,

00:18:58.720 even two years out of the race.

00:19:01.260 This,

00:19:01.780 as Trump's polling,

00:19:03.320 is getting a big boost.

00:19:04.480 So we're all waiting

00:19:05.620 on Trump to get arrested 0.98

00:19:06.520 and be thrown

00:19:06.980 into an orange jumpsuit.

00:19:09.700 Didn't happen last week.

00:19:12.100 It didn't happen last week.

00:19:13.080 Didn't happen the week

00:19:13.660 before that.

00:19:14.900 Maybe the DA,

00:19:16.240 Alvin Bragg,

00:19:16.840 is getting cold feet here.

00:19:18.120 Maybe they're just

00:19:18.700 looking at the polls.

00:19:19.560 The polling right now

00:19:20.400 is showing that

00:19:21.200 the potential indictment

00:19:22.620 is helping Trump.

00:19:24.480 According to a Trafalgar Group

00:19:25.940 Convention of States poll,

00:19:27.860 74.3% of Americans

00:19:29.840 think a Trump indictment

00:19:31.440 would help

00:19:32.420 or not affect

00:19:34.260 his campaign.

00:19:35.580 Only 25.7%

00:19:37.160 think it would hurt.

00:19:37.980 So three quarters

00:19:38.660 of Americans

00:19:39.380 think an indictment

00:19:40.520 is neutral

00:19:41.260 or good for Trump.

00:19:45.020 Only 42.7%

00:19:46.940 of Democrats

00:19:47.640 even think

00:19:48.440 that this would hurt Trump.

00:19:49.920 Only 11%

00:19:51.760 roughly of the GOP

00:19:52.600 thinks it would hurt Trump.

00:19:53.960 27%

00:19:54.840 of independents.

00:19:58.320 My money

00:19:59.220 is still on Trump

00:20:00.320 to win the nomination.

00:20:01.700 Even with

00:20:02.500 all of these

00:20:03.120 other interests

00:20:04.680 consolidating

00:20:05.880 around DeSantis

00:20:06.880 right now.

00:20:07.760 And DeSantis

00:20:08.140 is very,

00:20:09.160 very talented

00:20:09.720 and very skilled

00:20:10.820 and I'm not knocking him

00:20:12.020 at all

00:20:12.360 and he's a very good governor.

00:20:14.800 But right now,

00:20:16.360 even with all of that,

00:20:17.500 I think Trump

00:20:18.240 just has such a lead.

00:20:20.400 He has such momentum.

00:20:21.520 It doesn't mean

00:20:21.920 that DeSantis

00:20:22.980 can't become the nominee

00:20:23.940 or someone else

00:20:24.780 even can't become the nominee.

00:20:26.020 But right now,

00:20:27.400 my money

00:20:27.920 would still be on Trump.

00:20:29.800 They've got nothing.

00:20:30.600 The Libs have nothing

00:20:31.360 on Trump.

00:20:32.360 They've tried everything.

00:20:33.400 That's why they're trying

00:20:33.880 to indict him

00:20:34.400 on a seven-year-old

00:20:35.140 trumped-up charge

00:20:35.880 because they have nothing new.

00:20:37.640 You know what they've got?

00:20:39.200 Here's what they've got.

00:20:40.040 Don Lemon just showed

00:20:41.020 what the Democrats

00:20:42.140 still have against Trump.

00:20:43.920 Well, he raised

00:20:44.760 a whole lot of money

00:20:45.420 by saying,

00:20:45.900 oh, I'm going to be,

00:20:46.500 you know,

00:20:46.880 insinuating that he was

00:20:47.720 going to be indicted

00:20:48.640 on Tuesday, right?

00:20:50.180 Raised money off of that.

00:20:51.040 But this is really disturbing

00:20:52.420 to me because he's been

00:20:53.040 doing this for a while

00:20:53.880 and I think we can't

00:20:55.160 talk enough about it

00:20:55.980 where he's been calling

00:20:56.860 these prosecutors

00:20:58.340 who happen to be

00:20:59.220 African-American 0.81

00:21:00.000 saying that they're racist. 0.84

00:21:01.660 He called Alvin Bragg 0.99

00:21:02.980 a Soros-backed animal.

00:21:06.400 Yeah.

00:21:06.560 He's turning to his

00:21:07.400 old tricks here

00:21:08.460 of, you know,

00:21:10.020 being racist

00:21:12.200 or racist-adjacent

00:21:13.260 using that type

00:21:14.080 of language for people.

00:21:16.880 Point of question here.

00:21:19.540 What is racist-adjacent?

00:21:23.020 Don Lemon reverts

00:21:25.060 to the oldest

00:21:25.900 Democrat trick in the book.

00:21:27.060 He said, 0.99

00:21:27.460 you're racist. 0.92

00:21:29.040 I got nothing. 0.95

00:21:30.140 We tried Stormy Daniels.

00:21:31.280 It didn't work.

00:21:31.940 Russiagate didn't work.

00:21:32.980 Ukraingate didn't work.

00:21:34.160 We tried, I don't know,

00:21:34.840 some money thing

00:21:35.480 that didn't work. 0.99

00:21:36.520 You're racist. 0.98

00:21:37.600 Yeah, that'll get Trump. 0.99

00:21:39.360 We got him this time.

00:21:40.400 The walls are closing in.

00:21:41.860 Oh, baby.

00:21:43.300 Yeah, it's Mueller time 0.99

00:21:45.500 because you're racist. 0.99

00:21:49.040 Okay, whatever. 0.84

00:21:51.960 No, you're,

00:21:52.520 and even Don Lemon knows

00:21:53.840 that you can't make

00:21:55.200 the argument

00:21:55.560 that Trump is racist

00:21:56.540 if that word means

00:21:57.240 anything anymore at all.

00:21:58.320 You can't make that argument.

00:21:59.700 And so he says,

00:22:00.280 or racist-adjacent.

00:22:02.940 What's racist-adjacent?

00:22:05.680 Like, you live on a street

00:22:07.140 and David Duke

00:22:08.680 moved in

00:22:09.200 on the perpendicular street.

00:22:11.440 We're racist-adjacent.

00:22:12.620 We're not racist,

00:22:13.280 but we're racist-adjacent.

00:22:14.400 Give me a break.

00:22:15.900 Doesn't work.

00:22:16.580 I mean,

00:22:16.740 this is just the argument

00:22:17.560 against any white person 0.92

00:22:18.880 that you don't like. 0.97

00:22:20.860 And white people generally

00:22:22.040 are the least racist people

00:22:23.300 on earth.

00:22:23.900 I mean that

00:22:24.300 in a very technical way.

00:22:25.940 There have been studies

00:22:26.960 of racial consciousness.

00:22:29.040 White people have 1.00

00:22:29.560 the lowest racial consciousness 1.00

00:22:30.680 by a country mile.

00:22:32.100 Every other race of people

00:22:32.900 has a much higher

00:22:33.660 racial consciousness,

00:22:34.480 a much higher

00:22:35.660 in-group preference.

00:22:37.960 White people just 1.00

00:22:38.500 are not racist.

00:22:39.380 You can say whatever

00:22:39.800 you want about white people.

00:22:40.800 You can say they have 0.96

00:22:41.580 bad taste in music,

00:22:42.960 their food isn't spicy enough,

00:22:44.020 but you can't say

00:22:44.880 they're racist. 0.61

00:22:46.280 White people are the 1.00

00:22:46.940 least racist people 0.51

00:22:47.960 in the world.

00:22:48.880 And in the United States,

00:22:50.120 the white people

00:22:50.580 are pretty much 0.90

00:22:51.320 the only victims

00:22:52.860 of formal

00:22:53.740 de jure systemic racism.

00:22:56.540 Asians get lumped in 0.99

00:22:57.380 a little bit too,

00:22:58.120 but white people

00:22:58.840 and Asians to some degree

00:23:00.760 are the only group

00:23:01.800 where you can say,

00:23:02.460 okay, you're white, 0.89

00:23:03.600 we're going to discriminate 0.99

00:23:04.360 against you

00:23:05.080 for the purposes

00:23:05.940 of college admissions,

00:23:07.020 for the purposes

00:23:07.540 of hiring,

00:23:08.460 for the purposes

00:23:09.060 of whatever

00:23:09.820 on the basis

00:23:11.440 of your race.

00:23:12.640 So the racism charge

00:23:14.940 generally falls flat.

00:23:16.360 The racism charge

00:23:17.320 against Trump

00:23:17.960 definitely falls flat

00:23:19.280 and they don't have

00:23:20.120 any other charge.

00:23:21.700 So what are they

00:23:22.600 going to do?

00:23:23.200 What are they going to say?

00:23:23.900 Are they even going

00:23:24.500 to indict him anymore?

00:23:25.980 The media,

00:23:26.760 the liberal media

00:23:27.280 are turning on

00:23:28.440 the indictment itself,

00:23:30.600 okay,

00:23:30.800 because they've got

00:23:31.440 nothing.

00:23:33.080 We want to deprive them

00:23:34.280 of everything

00:23:34.740 that they want.

00:23:36.180 We especially want

00:23:36.760 to deprive

00:23:37.180 the liberal establishment

00:23:38.520 of our data,

00:24:52.320 My favorite comment

00:24:53.240 from Friday

00:24:54.820 is from Flat Walsh

00:24:56.560 who says Knowles

00:24:57.600 should come out

00:24:58.160 with a new blank book,

00:24:59.480 Reasons to Believe in Aliens,

00:25:01.200 A Comprehensive Guide.

00:25:02.180 I think we need

00:25:02.640 a formal debate

00:25:03.360 at the Daily Wire.

00:25:04.560 I think we need

00:25:05.060 a formal,

00:25:06.420 two podiums,

00:25:08.560 a moderator,

00:25:09.580 Robert's Rules,

00:25:11.420 parliamentary style debate.

00:25:13.820 Resolved,

00:25:14.960 aliens are fake. 0.69

00:25:17.660 Resolved, 0.98

00:25:18.340 only libs believe

00:25:19.560 in aliens.

00:25:21.700 Speaking of crazy things

00:25:23.280 the libs believe in,

00:25:24.800 we all know the libs

00:25:25.860 believe in

00:25:27.260 men being women.

00:25:30.600 And it recently was

00:25:32.040 Women's History Month.

00:25:33.100 I guess it's still

00:25:33.680 Women's History Month.

00:25:35.880 And to celebrate

00:25:37.200 Women's History Month,

00:25:38.940 ESPN decided to run

00:25:41.260 a whole laudatory segment

00:25:42.480 on the most important woman

00:25:43.840 in sports.

00:25:45.240 That would be,

00:25:46.380 of course,

00:25:47.680 William

00:25:48.220 Leah Thomas.

00:25:50.700 In 2022,

00:25:53.420 swimmer Leah Thomas

00:25:54.360 became the first

00:25:55.220 transgender athlete

00:25:56.520 to win an NCAA

00:25:57.620 Division I championship

00:25:59.080 by winning the 500 freestyle.

00:26:01.800 The Texas native

00:26:02.660 competed for three seasons

00:26:04.120 on the men's swim team

00:26:05.360 at the University of Pennsylvania.

00:26:07.600 She began her transition

00:26:08.760 after her sophomore season

00:26:10.320 and after a gap year

00:26:11.800 due to the pandemic

00:26:12.860 that forced the Ivy League

00:26:14.180 to cancel all sports.

00:26:16.140 Promise made her debut 1.00

00:26:17.180 as a member

00:26:17.980 of the women's team

00:26:19.000 in December 2021.

00:26:21.520 Being trans

00:26:22.460 is not a choice.

00:26:24.360 I didn't have

00:26:25.400 any other choice

00:26:26.420 because

00:26:26.980 not transitioning

00:26:28.900 was not leading me anywhere.

00:26:30.480 She competed

00:26:31.940 amidst criticism

00:26:33.060 from the swimming community,

00:26:34.580 competitors,

00:26:35.360 and teammates.

00:26:36.560 She said she hopes

00:26:37.440 her persistence

00:26:38.360 serves a larger purpose.

00:26:40.580 People will say,

00:26:41.400 oh, she just transitioned 0.72

00:26:42.600 so she would have

00:26:44.220 an advantage

00:26:44.760 so she could win.

00:26:45.520 You know,

00:26:50.680 I never said

00:26:51.340 that Will Thomas

00:26:52.260 only transitioned

00:26:54.140 so that he could win

00:26:55.160 swimming races.

00:26:56.320 He was a very low-ranked

00:26:57.680 male swimmer

00:26:58.300 and then he became

00:26:58.900 the number one-ranked

00:27:00.460 female 0.86

00:27:01.040 quote-unquote swimmer.

00:27:02.620 So maybe that played

00:27:03.440 a role in it.

00:27:04.040 Probably did play

00:27:04.540 some role in it.

00:27:05.540 No, I think he

00:27:06.480 transitioned

00:27:07.580 more for the reason

00:27:09.120 that he says there,

00:27:09.760 you know,

00:27:09.900 he said to be happy.

00:27:10.880 Now, it won't make him happy.

00:27:12.840 I think social science

00:27:13.680 is mostly bunk,

00:27:14.500 but the surveys

00:27:15.000 that we have

00:27:15.500 on this show

00:27:16.100 that the transition

00:27:17.120 does not actually

00:27:17.880 make people any happier

00:27:18.900 than they were beforehand.

00:27:20.880 And it is not

00:27:23.240 the right thing to do

00:27:24.200 because men can't 0.98

00:27:25.540 become women

00:27:25.920 and women can't 1.00

00:27:26.480 become men

00:27:27.000 and your body and soul

00:27:27.920 are united

00:27:28.680 in a hylomorphic union

00:27:29.960 and everybody on earth

00:27:31.680 knew this until

00:27:32.260 five minutes ago.

00:27:33.520 And living according

00:27:34.260 to delusion

00:27:34.820 and chopping up your body 0.98

00:27:35.940 and doing all sorts 0.99

00:27:37.360 of weird, nasty things

00:27:38.220 is not going to make

00:27:38.960 anybody happy

00:27:39.620 really in the long run ever.

00:27:41.440 It certainly won't lead

00:27:42.240 to human flourishing.

00:27:43.180 But I have no doubt

00:27:46.520 that he did it

00:27:47.500 in part

00:27:48.120 because he's

00:27:49.240 just confused.

00:27:51.060 He's a confused guy.

00:27:51.960 He said,

00:27:52.120 I had no choice.

00:27:52.740 Of course you had a choice.

00:27:54.300 You didn't need to.

00:27:56.220 You could just be normal.

00:27:57.620 You could just act normal

00:27:58.780 and be normal

00:27:59.480 and you might have

00:28:00.280 some weird fantasies

00:28:01.080 in your head

00:28:01.620 but you can either

00:28:02.540 suppress them

00:28:03.300 or sublimate those fantasies

00:28:04.640 or indulge them

00:28:06.700 in the privacy

00:28:07.140 of your own home

00:28:07.780 but not pretend

00:28:08.860 for public purposes

00:28:09.660 that you're a woman

00:28:10.300 and then go into

00:28:11.020 the women's locker room

00:28:12.660 and take your clothing off

00:28:13.660 and start exposing yourself

00:28:16.420 to girls

00:28:17.080 who don't want to see that.

00:28:18.700 You had that choice.

00:28:19.940 You just chose not

00:28:20.680 you chose to deny

00:28:21.780 your own agency

00:28:22.640 and your own free will

00:28:23.420 in the matter.

00:28:24.380 But forget about

00:28:25.100 Will Thomas for a second.

00:28:27.440 I had forgotten

00:28:28.460 about Women's History Month

00:28:29.580 because I don't pay attention

00:28:30.540 to any of the liturgical months

00:28:33.880 on the liturgical calendar

00:28:35.740 of liberalism.

00:28:36.700 I don't pay attention

00:28:37.280 to Black History Month.

00:28:38.200 I don't pay attention

00:28:39.220 to Women's History Month.

00:28:40.360 I don't pay attention

00:28:40.980 to the now multiple gay months.

00:28:43.820 I have my own liturgical calendar

00:28:46.040 that I follow

00:28:46.600 which is the calendar

00:28:47.900 of the church.

00:28:48.960 So we have months

00:28:49.740 to marry

00:28:51.720 and different liturgical feasts

00:28:56.160 that do not celebrate liberalism.

00:29:00.180 But this proves my point.

00:29:02.580 I think this is a total vindication

00:29:04.140 of why we need to ignore

00:29:06.020 all these liberal months.

00:29:08.200 Black History Month,

00:29:10.360 Women's History Month.

00:29:12.420 Because Women's History Month 1.00

00:29:14.840 we can now conclude

00:29:16.120 with certainty

00:29:17.200 is not about women.

00:29:20.320 It's not.

00:29:22.180 All the women 0.93

00:29:23.580 quote unquote

00:29:24.100 who have been lauded

00:29:24.860 during Women's History Month

00:29:25.960 by the White House,

00:29:28.020 by ESPN,

00:29:29.240 by the culture,

00:29:29.920 they're all men.

00:29:31.680 So it has nothing

00:29:32.580 to do with women. 0.92

00:29:34.060 It has everything to do

00:29:35.360 with liberalism

00:29:36.400 and leftism.

00:29:37.860 Black History Month

00:29:38.780 is only tangentially

00:29:41.260 related to black people.

00:29:43.320 True, ESPN 0.86

00:29:44.320 doesn't run

00:29:45.540 fawning profiles

00:29:46.540 of Rachel Dolezal.

00:29:48.560 They haven't yet embraced

00:29:50.320 transracialism.

00:29:51.700 But likewise,

00:29:52.520 you're not going to see

00:29:53.300 any fawning profiles

00:29:55.260 of Clarence Thomas.

00:29:56.760 You're not going to see

00:29:57.320 any fawning profiles

00:29:58.740 of Thomas Sowell.

00:30:00.580 You're not going to see

00:30:01.320 any fawning profiles

00:30:01.980 of Booker T. Washington

00:30:02.900 for that matter.

00:30:03.500 You're not going to see

00:30:03.980 any fawning profiles

00:30:04.640 of Candace Owens,

00:30:05.580 I don't think.

00:30:06.600 No, you're only going to see 0.93

00:30:07.800 a certain kind of black person. 0.88

00:30:10.180 And very often, 0.92

00:30:11.620 a manufactured leftist caricature

00:30:14.620 of a certain type 0.96

00:30:15.940 of black person.

00:30:16.600 Because it's not about black people, 0.99

00:30:17.620 it's about liberalism

00:30:19.140 and leftism.

00:30:21.560 We should ignore all of that.

00:30:24.060 Ignore all of those things. 0.97

00:30:27.200 How about for the gay months? 0.98

00:30:30.000 You're never going to see

00:30:30.940 profiles of men who,

00:30:34.700 let's say they have

00:30:35.220 some disordered desire

00:30:36.140 and they just don't act on it.

00:30:38.960 Will Thomas says,

00:30:39.660 I had no choice 0.98

00:30:40.380 but to chop my body parts off 0.99

00:30:42.960 and pretend to be a woman. 1.00

00:30:44.040 You could have not done that.

00:30:45.940 You could have just been normal.

00:30:48.160 You could have,

00:30:48.660 by that I mean,

00:30:49.460 you could have acted in accord

00:30:51.160 with the norms and standards

00:30:53.400 set by society

00:30:55.080 through their use of right reason

00:30:58.920 and their deference

00:30:59.780 to the wisdom of the ages,

00:31:01.560 which is a far better guide

00:31:03.040 to human flourishing

00:31:03.860 than what some quack doctors

00:31:05.500 in the 60s decided

00:31:06.780 was best for confused men,

00:31:10.220 which is to mutilate themselves

00:31:11.400 and live according to a fantasy.

00:31:13.680 Could it just been normal?

00:31:16.160 Of course, of course you have that.

00:31:17.620 But you never see LGBT History Month

00:31:22.620 celebrating detransitioners. 1.00

00:31:24.480 Helena Kirshner is not going to be,

00:31:26.760 is not going to be,

00:31:28.460 Walt Heyer is not going to be celebrated

00:31:30.460 in any of the multiple LGBT History Months.

00:31:34.000 So it's kind of funny.

00:31:35.220 It's dark,

00:31:36.360 but it's kind of funny

00:31:36.920 that Will Thomas

00:31:37.480 is the woman of the month,

00:31:39.060 the woman of the year

00:31:39.780 for Women's History Month on ESPN.

00:31:42.580 Sometimes it's a lot less funny.

00:31:44.060 There's a video that went viral.

00:31:45.040 I had our editors blur basically the whole thing,

00:31:48.100 but you can get a little sense of it anyway.

00:31:50.900 A 13-year-old drag queen,

00:31:53.940 a little boy who was dressed up 0.78

00:31:55.860 in sexual clothing

00:31:56.980 to look like a girl, 0.92

00:31:58.860 like a very sexualized girl,

00:32:01.200 was just videotaped and went viral 0.66

00:32:03.280 dancing around at a club

00:32:04.680 while a bunch of pervert adults 0.97

00:32:06.440 cheered him on.

00:32:07.040 He didn't sort of vaguely make out.

00:32:12.080 He's wearing these leather stiletto heels

00:32:14.360 and a leather kind of dress skirt thing

00:32:17.200 and is dancing around

00:32:18.340 in a very sexualized posture. 0.99

00:32:20.260 And then these total freak perverts 0.99

00:32:22.760 on the side 0.99

00:32:23.620 are cheering him on.

00:32:26.660 They're,

00:32:27.680 what are they cheering on?

00:32:28.640 They're cheering on a sexual performance 0.99

00:32:30.060 of a 13-year-old boy 0.99

00:32:31.180 dressed in a tight leather outfit.

00:32:35.020 This isn't,

00:32:36.960 well,

00:32:38.000 you know,

00:32:38.360 the slippery slope

00:32:39.380 might be slipping down.

00:32:40.520 This isn't some conspiracy theory idea.

00:32:44.000 There are elite pedos

00:32:46.300 in our culture

00:32:47.660 and they have a lot of power

00:32:49.100 and, you know,

00:32:50.060 you've got to talk to the Illuminati

00:32:51.340 and the Rosicrucians 0.74

00:32:53.400 and, I don't know,

00:32:54.060 some tinfoil hat stuff.

00:32:56.760 It's on video.

00:32:59.200 You're watching it.

00:33:02.360 Even the idea

00:33:04.280 of an elite pedo ring

00:33:06.140 that's so elite

00:33:07.000 that they have,

00:33:07.720 I don't know,

00:33:08.080 let's say their own private island

00:33:09.520 in the Caribbean

00:33:10.260 and some of the most notable,

00:33:12.500 wealthy,

00:33:13.040 powerful people on earth

00:33:14.140 go to this island

00:33:15.060 to do weird stuff

00:33:16.220 with very young,

00:33:17.400 underage people.

00:33:19.300 That's not a crazy conspiracy theory.

00:33:21.580 We have the court documents.

00:33:23.320 We have pictures

00:33:24.060 in some cases.

00:33:26.160 That's real.

00:33:27.960 That's happening.

00:33:30.020 It reminds me of a line

00:33:31.180 from Oren McIntyre

00:33:32.360 who's been on this show before,

00:33:34.220 a great political commentator.

00:33:36.360 And he says,

00:33:37.420 guys,

00:33:37.700 it's not that complicated.

00:33:38.840 They just want to diddle kids.

00:33:41.380 I think it's a little more complicated

00:33:42.940 than that.

00:33:43.400 I do think there is

00:33:44.160 an ideological aspect

00:33:45.380 of this whole weird

00:33:47.340 sexual movement

00:33:48.540 that we're seeing.

00:33:49.460 I do think that ultimately

00:33:50.860 it stems from

00:33:52.920 the political project

00:33:53.960 of liberation,

00:33:54.980 of liberalism,

00:33:55.780 that liberalism

00:33:56.460 begins with the idea

00:33:57.840 of liberating yourself

00:33:58.800 from dusty old conventions,

00:34:01.120 liberating yourself

00:34:01.860 from superstition,

00:34:04.280 non-scientific beliefs,

00:34:06.520 which we are told today

00:34:07.720 are allegedly superstitious,

00:34:10.260 liberating yourself

00:34:11.080 from the old political order,

00:34:12.380 the Ancien Regime.

00:34:13.880 Now we're going to live

00:34:14.680 in a revolutionary political order,

00:34:16.100 liberating yourself

00:34:17.060 from the moral order,

00:34:18.840 liberating yourself

00:34:19.600 from the family,

00:34:20.420 the fundamental

00:34:20.800 political institution,

00:34:22.040 ultimately liberating yourself

00:34:24.480 from yourself.

00:34:25.660 That's what the

00:34:26.280 transgender transition

00:34:27.540 is about.

00:34:28.440 The transgender transition 0.99

00:34:29.920 is a ritual suicide. 0.75

00:34:33.220 It's not a literal suicide,

00:34:34.420 but it's a ritual

00:34:35.420 figurative suicide

00:34:37.120 through which

00:34:39.160 a person 0.89

00:34:40.700 kills himself.

00:34:42.700 He then refers

00:34:43.440 to the person

00:34:44.220 that he has been

00:34:45.120 literally as a dead name.

00:34:47.240 says that person

00:34:49.100 is dead.

00:34:49.840 Talks about that person

00:34:50.800 in the third person

00:34:51.520 and in the past tense.

00:34:52.920 And then out of that

00:34:53.680 dead person,

00:34:54.360 a new identity

00:34:55.560 is allegedly born

00:34:57.900 through this ritual

00:34:58.740 of suicide

00:35:00.240 because that is

00:35:01.080 the ultimate liberation

00:35:02.080 of the self

00:35:02.560 from the self.

00:35:03.300 The only absurd,

00:35:06.280 illogical conclusion

00:35:07.260 of that,

00:35:07.700 but it is the inexorable

00:35:08.820 conclusion from the

00:35:09.840 premises of liberalism,

00:35:11.600 is suicide. 0.81

00:35:13.120 That's the way out.

00:35:14.460 And it's all

00:35:15.220 terribly wrong

00:35:16.220 and it's led to

00:35:16.860 a cultural suicide 0.91

00:35:17.560 and a national suicide

00:35:18.540 and that's where

00:35:19.700 the logic leads you to.

00:35:21.240 So I do think

00:35:21.940 that's all there.

00:35:22.740 But also,

00:35:23.320 all of that is

00:35:23.920 prefaced to say,

00:35:25.200 some of these people

00:35:26.720 just want to diddle kids.

00:35:28.860 That's it.

00:35:29.520 The guys there

00:35:30.800 cheering,

00:35:33.040 lusting after

00:35:33.780 a 13-year-old boy

00:35:35.100 in a leather outfit

00:35:37.160 and stilettos

00:35:38.060 jiggling around, 0.99

00:35:40.080 they're just perverts. 1.00

00:35:41.900 And their desires 0.99

00:35:45.080 need to be suppressed

00:35:46.420 by society.

00:35:48.460 I know that we live

00:35:49.400 in the age of

00:35:49.800 love is love

00:35:50.500 and no desire

00:35:53.080 is ever to be considered

00:35:54.620 disordered or wrong

00:35:55.980 or to be repressed.

00:35:57.380 They need to be suppressed.

00:35:59.400 Yeah.

00:36:00.420 There need to be laws

00:36:01.200 against this.

00:36:01.820 There need to be norms

00:36:02.480 against this.

00:36:03.180 We need to round up

00:36:04.000 the men who

00:36:05.240 go to shows like this

00:36:07.200 and we need to lock them

00:36:08.120 away in institutions

00:36:09.720 or prisons.

00:36:10.360 And we need to tell

00:36:11.560 other people

00:36:12.020 that if they have

00:36:12.540 any desires

00:36:13.220 that are in any way

00:36:14.900 even close to resembling

00:36:16.800 this sort of thing,

00:36:17.820 they need to

00:36:18.660 tamp that down.

00:36:21.100 Stop doing it in public.

00:36:22.360 Stop doing it in private.

00:36:23.360 Just cut it out.

00:36:25.100 Sometimes things

00:36:25.820 can be really simple

00:36:26.720 like that.

00:36:27.460 There's a story

00:36:28.080 that I had to get to

00:36:28.740 before we go.

00:36:29.540 Before we get to

00:36:29.980 the member block,

00:36:30.560 today is Music Monday,

00:36:31.480 so for the

00:36:32.400 Crème de la Crème

00:36:33.160 inner circle audience

00:36:34.240 at the

00:36:34.800 Nostradamus member

00:36:35.580 segmentum,

00:36:36.160 we will be getting to

00:36:36.980 a very important song

00:36:38.300 that Mr. Davies

00:36:40.120 has for me.

00:36:41.660 But before that,

00:36:44.580 you know that I'm

00:36:45.480 really tough on

00:36:46.100 immigration.

00:36:47.680 There are very few

00:36:48.740 people who are

00:36:50.300 tougher on immigration

00:36:51.080 than I am.

00:36:51.720 I think obviously

00:36:52.580 we've got to stop

00:36:53.460 illegal immigration,

00:36:55.040 build a border wall,

00:36:56.420 enforce the border

00:36:57.400 policies.

00:36:57.920 I think we should

00:36:58.500 drastically reduce

00:36:59.520 legal immigration

00:37:00.500 as well.

00:37:01.540 Most Americans,

00:37:02.500 according to at least

00:37:03.140 some surveys,

00:37:04.080 want to drastically

00:37:05.200 reduce legal immigration.

00:37:06.460 We just are taking

00:37:07.000 too many people in.

00:37:08.340 Two million illegals

00:37:09.200 per year are

00:37:10.500 crossing into the US

00:37:11.420 and then a million

00:37:12.640 illegal immigrants

00:37:13.400 as well.

00:37:14.520 We've been keeping 0.99

00:37:15.060 this up for 60 years

00:37:16.120 now.

00:37:16.820 It's the largest

00:37:17.540 movement of people

00:37:18.280 ever in recorded

00:37:19.180 history.

00:37:19.700 It's just too much

00:37:20.460 if you're not

00:37:20.920 assimilating people.

00:37:22.340 Can't do it.

00:37:23.180 So I'm really tough

00:37:23.880 on that.

00:37:24.140 However,

00:37:24.760 I'd like to make

00:37:26.280 an exception

00:37:26.700 because of this

00:37:28.300 headline.

00:37:29.860 Two Cuban

00:37:30.580 migrants fly into 1.00

00:37:31.820 Florida on a

00:37:33.080 motorized hang

00:37:34.100 glider.

00:37:35.600 Two migrants 0.87

00:37:36.560 used a motorized

00:37:38.120 hang glider

00:37:38.660 to fly 90 miles

00:37:40.460 from the communist

00:37:41.880 island of Cuba

00:37:42.640 to Key West

00:37:44.020 and they landed

00:37:45.300 safely at Key West

00:37:46.820 International Airport

00:37:48.260 at about 10.30 a.m.

00:37:52.060 I think those guys

00:37:53.220 should stay.

00:37:54.520 I want to hire

00:37:55.960 those guys.

00:37:56.640 I don't even know.

00:37:57.360 I don't know what

00:37:57.780 they would do around

00:37:58.440 here.

00:37:58.720 They can start

00:37:59.480 Jeremy's airplanes.

00:38:02.120 Jeremy's hang gliders.

00:38:02.860 I love the Cuban

00:38:05.080 people, one,

00:38:05.840 because they make

00:38:06.240 great cigars, two,

00:38:07.280 because they're

00:38:07.800 relatively quite

00:38:08.720 conservative, and

00:38:09.500 when they come to

00:38:10.040 America, they

00:38:11.160 disproportionately vote

00:38:12.340 for Republicans.

00:38:13.060 I like that.

00:38:13.880 That inclines me to

00:38:15.260 letting more of the

00:38:16.180 Cubans stay. 1.00

00:38:17.160 It's why, by the way,

00:38:18.160 Barack Obama, as he

00:38:19.440 opened up the border

00:38:20.160 to everybody and gave

00:38:22.280 unconstitutional

00:38:23.760 executive amnesty to

00:38:24.980 illegal aliens,

00:38:25.700 specifically from

00:38:26.260 Latin America, the one 1.00

00:38:27.420 group that he

00:38:27.980 restricted immigration

00:38:29.020 for by repealing the

00:38:30.880 wet foot, dry foot

00:38:31.840 policy, it was

00:38:33.440 Cubans.

00:38:33.900 And why?

00:38:34.360 Because the Cubans 0.99

00:38:35.000 tend to vote Republican.

00:38:36.940 It just shows you

00:38:37.580 nakedly that the

00:38:38.400 Democrats' immigration

00:38:39.420 policy is just about

00:38:40.640 getting more votes.

00:38:41.580 It has nothing to do

00:38:42.220 with care for poor

00:38:43.120 oppressed people.

00:38:44.800 Barack Obama, he was 0.99

00:38:45.480 sucking up to 0.96

00:38:45.980 communist Cuba. 1.00

00:38:46.660 He doesn't like that

00:38:47.260 the Cubans vote for

00:38:48.020 Republicans.

00:38:48.500 He says, okay, you're

00:38:49.100 the ones, you can't do

00:38:49.860 it.

00:38:50.600 So I'm inclined to

00:38:51.340 like the Cuban people.

00:38:52.200 And I think, I just

00:38:53.740 think, if you have the

00:38:56.080 guts and the ingenuity

00:38:58.080 to get a single person

00:39:01.120 light hang glider that's

00:39:03.820 supposed to go, you

00:39:05.820 know, jumping from

00:39:06.560 puddle to puddle, and

00:39:07.740 then you, you take that

00:39:09.960 and you fly 90 miles

00:39:11.400 across shark-infested

00:39:12.640 waters to Florida, and

00:39:14.420 then land safely at the

00:39:15.540 airport, I want you.

00:39:17.860 I mean, we can have an

00:39:19.040 immigration moratorium

00:39:20.140 other than two people.

00:39:21.840 I want these two, these

00:39:24.160 two Cubans.

00:39:25.320 Bienvenidos, amigos.

00:39:26.480 Welcome to Los Estados

00:39:28.460 Unidos.

00:39:29.460 I know what you're

00:39:38.580 spectacular?

00:39:40.180 The coif is just out of

00:39:41.620 control.

00:39:42.260 How do you do it,

00:39:43.060 Michael?

00:39:43.280 Well, the answer,

00:39:45.460 Jeremy's.

00:39:46.640 Jeremy's Razors

00:40:05.320 That's not all.

00:40:16.560 much pomegranate in

00:40:17.900 your charcoal body

00:40:18.720 wash.

00:40:19.100 No way.

00:41:17.880 Now, before we go,

00:41:19.580 before we go here,

00:41:21.840 we were talking about

00:41:24.820 the transgender issue

00:41:25.640 all the time and

00:41:26.320 Women's History Month

00:41:27.020 now, I guess, I guess

00:41:29.860 Women's History Month

00:41:30.640 celebrates men who

00:41:32.080 think that they're

00:41:32.520 women. 0.81

00:41:33.280 There is a point that

00:41:34.980 an Olympic athlete just

00:41:37.080 made.

00:41:37.580 Her name is Sharon

00:41:38.440 Davies, former British 0.86

00:41:39.720 Olympic swimmer,

00:41:42.140 celebrated this decision

00:41:43.420 by the World Athletics to

00:41:45.540 ban trans-identifying 0.99

00:41:47.240 athletes from women's

00:41:48.720 events, publicly

00:41:50.420 thanking the

00:41:51.340 organization's

00:41:52.160 president, Sebastian

00:41:54.220 Coe.

00:41:54.920 And here's what she

00:41:55.520 said.

00:41:57.260 She said, women are 1.00

00:41:58.500 not a testosterone 0.86

00:41:59.820 level.

00:42:01.320 This was always a

00:42:02.340 bogus argument and

00:42:03.260 should never have been

00:42:04.060 considered a waste of

00:42:05.000 time and money.

00:42:06.080 Male biology, male 0.99

00:42:08.640 biology advantage is

00:42:10.580 real.

00:42:11.280 It cannot be fully

00:42:11.980 mitigated against.

00:42:13.200 Females of all ages

00:42:13.960 and all sports are

00:42:14.680 deserving of fair, safe

00:42:15.840 sport as much as

00:42:16.480 males get. 0.85

00:42:17.240 No one's banned from

00:42:17.980 sport.

00:42:18.280 Just a category they

00:42:19.860 don't qualify for.

00:42:21.680 I have heard a lot of

00:42:22.600 conservatives say, look,

00:42:24.740 what are we going to do

00:42:25.400 with the transgender

00:42:26.120 thing?

00:42:27.100 Let's just, we'll just

00:42:27.840 test people's testosterone.

00:42:29.260 If you've got too much

00:42:29.840 testosterone, then you've

00:42:31.480 got to compete with the

00:42:32.140 men, and then if you

00:42:32.680 don't have enough

00:42:33.020 testosterone, you compete

00:42:34.160 with the women.

00:42:35.400 No.

00:42:36.980 Guys, yes, some people

00:42:38.280 have more testosterone

00:42:39.000 than others.

00:42:39.880 Not every man is just

00:42:42.000 brimming with virility and

00:42:44.740 testosterone like some of

00:42:46.020 us here, okay?

00:42:46.880 Some people are at a

00:42:48.060 disadvantage in that

00:42:48.740 regard.

00:42:50.080 But they can still be

00:42:51.200 men.

00:42:52.740 Men are not just

00:42:54.160 testosterone.

00:42:56.000 Women are not just 0.99

00:42:57.120 estrogen.

00:42:58.260 To accept the

00:42:59.360 testosterone levels

00:43:00.720 standard for sports is to

00:43:02.900 accept transgenderism.

00:43:05.800 Is to accept the idea

00:43:07.300 that men and women are

00:43:10.240 either entirely reducible to

00:43:12.780 their bodies or not at all

00:43:13.860 reducible to their bodies.

00:43:16.300 Which is what they say.

00:43:18.380 The transgenderists hold 1.00

00:43:19.740 both views.

00:43:21.640 They'll say, hey, if I

00:43:22.700 chop my family jewels off

00:43:25.840 and I get prosthetic 0.95

00:43:27.080 breasts and I put on a

00:43:28.140 wig and I put on a dress,

00:43:29.840 I am really a woman.

00:43:31.300 If I have the

00:43:31.860 appearances of a woman,

00:43:32.860 then I really am a woman.

00:43:34.500 Or they'll say, no, it

00:43:35.740 doesn't matter.

00:43:36.120 I could have a big beard.

00:43:36.940 I could be big husky Hank

00:43:38.060 walking into the women's 0.80

00:43:38.900 locker room.

00:43:39.540 But if I think that I'm a

00:43:40.840 woman, then I'm a woman. 1.00

00:43:42.040 But both of those views

00:43:44.240 are not correct.

00:43:46.520 Because human beings are

00:43:47.580 not just body.

00:43:48.880 And we're not just not

00:43:49.740 body.

00:43:50.520 We're body and soul

00:43:52.160 together.

00:43:53.820 The body is our material

00:43:54.900 self.

00:43:55.340 The soul is the

00:43:56.060 substantial form of our

00:43:57.180 body.

00:43:58.400 Sex derives from the 0.99

00:44:00.380 body, from our natural

00:44:02.420 body.

00:44:04.940 And it applies to the

00:44:06.280 whole person as an

00:44:07.100 inseparable accident that

00:44:08.780 persists as long as the

00:44:10.040 individual exists.

00:44:11.480 We just are.

00:44:13.040 We just are a man or we

00:44:15.620 are a woman.

00:44:18.160 And sports in many ways,

00:44:20.720 even male sports, you're 0.96

00:44:22.360 judging how manly a man

00:44:24.440 is.

00:44:25.160 And the manlier men are

00:44:26.100 going to beat the less

00:44:26.700 manly men in a lot of

00:44:27.840 sports.

00:44:29.180 Well, the less manly men

00:44:30.240 are still men.

00:44:31.160 And a lot of the point of

00:44:32.300 the sport is to figure out

00:44:33.300 who's the best competitor.

00:44:36.100 Women are not just 0.99

00:44:37.400 estrogen.

00:44:37.900 They're not a

00:44:39.140 testosterone level.

00:44:41.360 Women are a real 1.00

00:44:42.880 category.

00:44:45.000 A real natural

00:44:46.300 category.

00:44:47.800 And no amount of

00:44:49.580 tinkering and scientific

00:44:51.480 witchcraft and

00:44:52.980 ideological jumping

00:44:55.220 jacks and somersaults,

00:44:57.280 none of that is going to

00:44:58.360 change what a man is and

00:44:59.820 what a woman is. 1.00

00:45:01.360 You saw another example of

00:45:02.880 this absurdity over the

00:45:04.560 weekend.

00:45:04.920 Some dude won a

00:45:06.600 women's cycling event,

00:45:08.300 I believe, in New York.

00:45:10.060 Photo was going around the

00:45:11.220 internet.

00:45:12.600 You see that down there on

00:45:13.680 the number three spot, you

00:45:15.960 see some woman holding her

00:45:17.460 trophy in the air, whatever,

00:45:19.840 I guess a bottle of

00:45:20.500 champagne.

00:45:21.400 Then on the number two

00:45:22.340 spot, you see another woman

00:45:23.860 smiling.

00:45:24.440 She's got her bottle of

00:45:25.200 champagne.

00:45:25.760 And then on the number one

00:45:26.840 spot is a big, hulking dude,

00:45:29.400 both arms in the air, with a

00:45:31.220 bottle of champagne.

00:45:31.900 And if I were the husband

00:45:34.940 of the number two woman, I

00:45:38.060 would be really, really

00:45:39.260 angry at the dude in the

00:45:41.400 number one spot.

00:45:42.340 Because you're looking at

00:45:43.720 this picture and you look

00:45:45.180 and you think, oh, that

00:45:45.700 number two woman, yeah, she 1.00

00:45:46.860 did a good job, but she

00:45:47.760 just wasn't, yeah, she

00:45:48.700 wasn't the best.

00:45:49.440 But she actually was the

00:45:50.360 best woman in the race.

00:45:51.560 And she deserves to be in

00:45:52.680 the number one spot.

00:45:54.700 And I don't know if there

00:45:56.440 was a prize associated with

00:45:58.340 this.

00:45:58.680 Very often, the arguments

00:46:01.340 against men competing in

00:46:02.840 women's sports is that, well, 1.00

00:46:04.700 the men could take the

00:46:05.380 women's scholarships.

00:46:06.480 You know, there's a real

00:46:07.020 financial harm that's done

00:46:08.760 here to women when the men 0.99

00:46:10.100 get to compete.

00:46:10.840 Or the men could get into

00:46:12.600 college.

00:46:14.400 There's a real, you know,

00:46:17.500 harm, educational harm to

00:46:18.880 the women here because the 1.00

00:46:20.480 guy could take the spot at

00:46:21.840 the college.

00:46:22.980 But even just the glory of

00:46:24.760 the thing, even why do

00:46:25.720 people engage in recreation

00:46:26.860 and leisure and sports?

00:46:28.020 Part of it is just for the

00:46:29.420 glory, for excellence, to

00:46:30.920 demonstrate excellence and

00:46:32.500 so that other people can

00:46:34.280 marvel at that excellence.

00:46:35.660 And that woman was robbed

00:46:37.160 of her rightful place by a

00:46:39.280 very confused man, a very

00:46:41.100 disturbed man that we are

00:46:42.820 all indulging.

00:46:43.900 And it's just wrong even as

00:46:47.460 a matter of celebration and

00:46:50.320 sport and glory.

00:46:53.440 It is a non sequitur that if a

00:46:55.620 guy just chops off a body part

00:46:58.100 or takes some estrogen or

00:46:59.020 something, that he becomes a

00:47:01.240 woman.

00:47:01.620 Speaking of non sequiturs, we

00:47:03.980 love, on the right, we love

00:47:06.040 when a liberal seems a little

00:47:07.620 bit more conservative.

00:47:08.580 And so everybody is fawning

00:47:09.820 over Bill Maher.

00:47:10.760 And I kind of like, Bill Maher

00:47:11.800 did a bit on his show the

00:47:13.080 other day about me after my

00:47:14.340 CPAC speech.

00:47:14.860 And it was pretty funny.

00:47:15.540 I generally get a kick out of

00:47:16.860 Bill Maher.

00:47:17.500 But Bill Maher, Bill Maher has

00:47:20.680 this problem where he'll make a

00:47:22.140 good point and then totally

00:47:24.660 undercut his point.

00:47:25.580 He just did that on the

00:47:27.620 religion of climate change.

00:47:29.460 All right.

00:47:30.100 So we had yet another one of

00:47:32.500 those reports this week from

00:47:33.960 the UN Intergalactic Panel on

00:47:36.880 Climate.

00:47:38.080 That's not the real name of it,

00:47:39.580 but it's something like that.

00:47:40.780 I feel like I talk about

00:47:41.960 Groundhog Day.

00:47:42.680 I feel like I've written,

00:47:44.060 written, I've read this report

00:47:45.280 every year.

00:47:47.260 And it's always the same.

00:47:48.600 The world is coming to an end,

00:47:49.720 which I think it is, by the way.

00:47:51.200 I think disaster is coming.

00:47:53.680 But they always seem to

00:47:54.820 predict very specifically when

00:47:56.760 and some of those dates have

00:47:58.740 already passed.

00:47:59.700 I think they should, first of

00:48:01.160 all, stop doing that, you

00:48:02.860 know, because it really

00:48:04.880 bleeds their credibility.

00:48:06.300 It's kind of like what the

00:48:07.260 Western medical establishment

00:48:09.000 found out about COVID.

00:48:10.440 Don't lie about it.

00:48:13.240 Because people, you will lose

00:48:15.000 their credibility.

00:48:16.300 Yeah, right.

00:48:17.420 They don't have credibility

00:48:18.640 anymore.

00:48:19.180 The Western medical establishment

00:48:20.960 burned their credibility

00:48:21.740 during COVID.

00:48:23.100 The sky is going to fall.

00:48:25.980 Climate people have burned

00:48:27.000 their credibility for 50 years

00:48:28.440 now because all their doomsday

00:48:30.380 predictions keep being proven

00:48:31.540 false.

00:48:33.360 And yet, Bill Maher says,

00:48:35.780 and I think the world is ending.

00:48:36.820 Yeah, I think they're right.

00:48:38.500 You know, I think they're right

00:48:39.340 ultimately, but they're just,

00:48:41.340 they're tarnishing a lot of

00:48:42.340 their credibility.

00:48:43.140 So it's just, they need to stop.

00:48:44.300 They need to be more cautious.

00:48:45.100 Well, I thought Bill Maher

00:48:48.780 was the logical guy.

00:48:50.120 I mean, I never thought Bill

00:48:50.880 Maher was the logical guy,

00:48:51.780 but he presents himself as,

00:48:53.000 I'm the rational guy.

00:48:53.880 I'm the logical guy.

00:48:55.920 I'm an atheist.

00:48:57.140 I just follow the science.

00:48:59.860 What's he say?

00:49:00.500 He says, well, all the evidence

00:49:02.540 says the world isn't ending.

00:49:04.000 All the people claiming the

00:49:05.000 world is ending have been

00:49:05.680 proven wrong time and time

00:49:07.360 again.

00:49:08.020 That all the people who claim

00:49:08.900 the world is ending have been

00:49:10.200 proven wrong, even on other

00:49:11.540 predictions they've made not

00:49:12.880 related to their claims about

00:49:13.980 the world ending, but I still

00:49:16.320 believe the world is ending.

00:49:19.520 This is cognitive dissonance

00:49:22.600 of the highest caliber, but it's

00:49:27.240 much easier for these liberals

00:49:30.720 to convince themselves of

00:49:32.940 something that they had

00:49:34.080 previously just, they just

00:49:35.380 immediately admitted was not

00:49:37.360 true.

00:49:38.100 They can convince themselves to

00:49:39.820 continue to believe in it more

00:49:42.040 easily than they can convince

00:49:43.300 themselves to change their

00:49:44.200 behavior and to cease to be

00:49:45.100 liberals.

00:49:46.220 They just can't, it's so

00:49:47.880 devastating.

00:49:48.460 I remember as I became more

00:49:50.100 and more conservative than I

00:49:51.020 previously had been, I remember

00:49:53.040 thinking, man, it must be

00:49:54.720 really, it is really hard to

00:49:56.760 give up liberalism because

00:49:57.960 liberalism defines our whole

00:50:00.140 political order, or at least

00:50:01.480 has for a long time now.

00:50:03.780 And to give that up and to say,

00:50:04.800 wow, it's wrong.

00:50:05.540 The predictions they make are

00:50:06.680 wrong.

00:50:07.180 The things they say about human

00:50:08.300 nature are wrong.

00:50:09.220 They now say men are women and

00:50:10.060 women are men. 0.98

00:50:10.560 It was wrong.

00:50:11.000 The things they say about the

00:50:12.960 human person, the things they

00:50:14.080 say about society and what

00:50:15.080 men, it's all, it's just wrong.

00:50:16.440 They're just wrong.

00:50:18.120 And they don't have

00:50:18.960 credibility.

00:50:19.900 So when people keep getting

00:50:21.200 things wrong and they don't

00:50:21.880 have credibility, you know what

00:50:22.660 you got to do?

00:50:23.080 You got to stop listening to

00:50:25.180 them and start listening to

00:50:26.100 people who make more sense.

00:50:28.920 That's what we do over on the

00:50:30.160 Nostradamus Membrum

00:50:31.060 Segmentum, okay?

00:50:32.040 We talk to people who make

00:50:33.440 sense, the creme de la creme.
