It looks like TikTok is going to be banned from U.S. shores, and the government is moving forward with legislation to do just that. Plus, I'm banned from Twitter for quoting the Bible, and transgender activists in Tennessee are now calling on transgender people in Tennessee to attack us.
00:12:32.120And law enforcement, which has gotten a really bad rap in recent years, at least in Nashville, law enforcement should be looked on as the heroes that they are.
00:12:42.320The media, of course, are trying to brush past this.
00:12:43.980They're trying to brush past the shooting at this point because the shooting doesn't fit the narrative that they want to present, especially because of the transgender identity of the shooter.
00:12:53.480That's very politically incorrect to point out.
00:12:57.020It's supposed to be evil, conservative white men who commit these atrocities.
00:13:00.880So when it doesn't work out, the media want to move past it.
00:13:03.300It also doesn't fit the media narrative because the victims here, the targeted victims, were Christians, were innocent Christians who were, according to law enforcement,
00:13:12.780specifically targeted and for whom ideology appears to have played a role.
00:13:22.260We don't know much more than that right now, but the police chief did say that the gender ideology appears to be one of the prominent theories as to what motivated this shooter.
00:13:32.920And that gender ideology is opposed by Christianity.
00:13:37.060So now you've got, well, what do you call it?
00:14:03.840The members of this Christian community, the members of this religious institution, its students, its educators, its employees.
00:14:16.080Let's be clear, Mr. President, federal law prohibits the targeting of violence against any American on the basis of religious affiliation or religious practice or religious belief.
00:14:31.040But that is, according to police, exactly what we saw happen.
00:14:35.240A lot of conservatives are going to hear this and say, duh, yeah, it's a hate crime.
00:14:43.740And actually, a lot of conservatives, myself included, will hear this and say, what is a hate crime?
00:15:05.680Hawley is pointing out that liberals don't like Christians, generally speaking.
00:15:11.600That's what he's pointing out, because hate crime laws are rarely applied to protect Christians or to protect conservatives or to protect white people or to protect men or to protect any of the groups that our society looks disfavorably upon.
00:15:32.080We're told that white people can't be racist, or I'm sorry, we're told white people can only be racist, but nobody can be racist against white people.
00:15:43.680Nobody can be bigoted or unjust toward men.
00:15:47.480And certainly, there's no such thing as a hate crime against Christians.
00:15:51.660Those Christians, they're the evil ones.
00:15:59.060And it's what our law typically enforces.
00:16:02.600And what Hawley is pointing out here is, hey, guys, wake up.
00:16:06.540He's trying to shake the culture a little bit and say, hey, guys, you know, you're always talking.
00:16:11.080Frankly, half the time, you're just making up these alleged hate crimes by trying to read the minds and the motivations of the killers.
00:16:18.720So if a guy shoots somebody, white guy shoots somebody, and the person he shoots is white, okay, no big deal.
00:16:25.640If the white guy shoots someone who's black, even if the white guy doesn't shoot the guy because he's black, he just shoots the guy because he's a guy and he wants to shoot him, then all of a sudden it's a hate crime.
00:16:33.280So they'll read the minds and they'll try to apply these motivations to everything.
00:16:36.780But in this case, we have a targeted shooting at a Christian school.
00:16:41.760Nobody wants to raise the prospect of a hate crime.
00:16:44.440The FBI isn't even treating it as domestic terrorism.
00:16:47.360The Daily Wire learned that yesterday.
00:16:48.680Anyway, the FBI said to the Daily Wire, quote, if it was terrorism, we would have federal jurisdiction.
00:16:56.440Given that Nashville Metro is leading the investigation, I think you can take a lot from that.
00:17:00.980That's a spokesman for the Memphis field office of the FBI.
00:17:04.920FBI doesn't want to call this terrorism.
00:17:07.600The FBI is too busy dealing with the terrorism of parents who don't want their kids being taught critical race theory and being told to castrate themselves in elementary school.
00:17:19.320The FBI is too busy dealing with the terrorism of Catholics who go to mass on Sunday.
00:17:23.200Remember that memo that the FBI tried to downplay and deny?
00:17:25.920Oh, no, that's, never mind, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
00:17:31.040No, the FBI has got to really deal with the terrorism of those Catholic extremists.
00:17:36.640Now, the FBI has to deal with the terrorism of grannies taking a tour around the Capitol on January 6th, being led around by police in some cases.
00:17:47.540That's the worst terrorist act, worst insurrection in the history of our country.
00:17:51.340But a targeted massacre against a Christian school, that's not terrorism.
00:17:58.460No, no, we got horn hat guys to arrest.
00:18:01.060We're learning more about the shooter, by the way.
00:18:03.240We're learning more about the shooter.
00:18:05.580We're learning very relevant details about the shooter.
00:18:09.120We're learning very relevant details about the shooter that also pertain to this broader epidemic and bizarre phenomenon of the gender ideology.
00:18:20.760And I don't know that I'm allowed to say it on big tech.
00:18:43.460According to the Daily Beast, so take it with a grain of salt, according to news sources, according to people close to the shooter, the shooter was autistic and a high-functioning autist.
00:19:03.320Obviously, I think this person had a whole host of issues.
00:19:07.760But the reason that the fact that the shooter was autistic matters is because of a study from Cambridge.
00:19:14.440There's a study out of Cambridge that looks at a whole host of data on transgender ideology and other conditions and observes a coincidence.
00:19:35.940The Cambridge study has discovered that transgender identity is strongly correlated with autism.
00:19:45.200So people who do not identify with the sex that they were assigned at birth are three to six times as likely to be autistic as people who know what sex they are, are, according to the largest study yet to examine the connection out of a very prestigious, established institution.
00:20:04.180I had a young woman, a young autistic woman, come up to me at a speech and say this.
00:20:08.100Say, Michael, thanks for speaking out against gender ideology because a bunch of people were trying to trans me and I had this gender dysphoria.
00:20:15.780But thankfully, I had a good family, I had a good priest.
00:20:17.740They took me to different psychologists to try to see what's going on.
00:20:20.660They realized I had undiagnosed autism.
00:20:22.380I'm now being treated for the autism and the gender ideology has gone away.
00:20:26.560The gender identity, rather, has gone away.
00:20:28.540What this proves is that the libs who love science never want to talk about science that is inconvenient, whether that's on the vaccines, whether that's on viruses, whether that's on these new conditions that seem to be percolating around the country.
00:20:49.060They don't want to bring up that science.
00:20:53.860They want to make an idol out of science, but they don't even understand the basis of science.
00:20:58.580The reason that the libs can never seriously claim the mantle of science is that they reject the premise of science.
00:21:05.640The premise of science is that the universe is intelligible.
00:21:09.580The premise of science is the premise of the medieval scholastics.
00:21:13.460The premise of science is omne ens est shibile.
00:21:49.560But that undercuts the entire motivation behind science, which is the entire motivation behind all sorts of inquiry, which is the notion that we can know things.
00:22:03.360William F. Buckley Jr. talked about this, one of the founders of the modern conservative movement.
00:22:08.780He had a debate with a liberal of his era.
00:22:11.520And the liberal said, look, we need everything to be open.
00:22:15.020We need to allow everything and tolerate everything in society because we can just never know what's right and wrong.
00:22:21.420And Bill Buckley said, no, I'm an epistemological optimist.
00:22:25.400I think that we can know certain things.
00:22:30.820Because if we can't, if we can't know things, then we can't have self-government.
00:22:38.600The self-government requires us to use our reason to perceive things from the objective world, reason through those things, come to conclusions, pass laws, and move forward.
00:22:50.140If we can't know that, then we can't govern ourselves.
00:22:57.040Then we can't learn much of anything at all.
00:22:59.540We need to restore some balance to our society.
00:23:01.740When you want to restore balance to our society, you've got to check out Balance of Nature.
00:23:08.580Living a healthy lifestyle is not always easy, especially when you are on the go as much as I am.
00:23:14.080I need a simple, manageable routine to make sure that I'm getting the proper nutrition every day, which is why I'm a huge fan of Balance of Nature.
00:23:22.240Balance of Nature fruits and veggies are a great way to make sure you're getting essential nutritional ingredients every single day.
00:23:29.200Their capsules are packed with 100% whole food that you can take at any time.
00:25:04.640And it has an ambivalent relationship to something that's transcendent, non-biological, because it fleshes out part of the implicate order.
00:25:20.600And, I mean, those have already always been, they have been deified in many cultures.
00:25:24.020You certainly have gods of Eros in all sorts of cultures, because that fundamental motivational force, which is a spirit that abides within, but that's also transcendent, hasn't it?
00:26:18.080Sort of, it is actually sad, but it's kind of funny, too.
00:26:20.320Headline, trans woman left sobbing in JFK airport after TSA agent hit her testicles, according to a report.
00:26:31.880Transgender woman, transgender woman, was left in tears.
00:26:34.640She claimed the TSA agent punched her in the testicles while she was going through security, and then she took to social media to vent about it.
00:26:43.200And I'm skeptical that it happened if the way that we know this happened is because someone who's a little off, maybe a couple of fries short of a Happy Meal sort of situation, is taking to social media to describe it.
00:26:59.780But let's say a TSA agent accidentally grabbed something when they're doing a search and didn't expect to find what he found there because this person looked kind of like a woman but then had something that women do not have.
00:27:15.080I actually believe it's a female TSA agent.
00:27:21.980It's sad that we have to live in a society where the phrase, a TSA agent hit her testicles, is printed in a newspaper with a straight face.
00:27:29.860It's sad that we have to live in a society where we pretend that we don't know the most basic things possible.
00:27:36.820It's sad for this woman that she had to feel that when she was supposed to be dealing with a woman and it turned out to be a man.
00:27:49.300This TSA agent should not have to be grabbing anybody's, any male genitalia like that.
00:27:54.140And it's sad for this man that he thinks he's a woman and that he starts sobbing because his delusion is not in line with reality.
00:28:00.440It's sad for everybody and we don't have to live this way.
00:28:05.000There's another, I'm going to tell you of a mythical time when we didn't live this way.
00:28:08.960This was way, way back in the mists of history, all the way back in that Halcyon era of 2014.
00:28:24.220No, I think I can still remember a little over eight years ago when we did not tolerate this transgender nonsense at any level of public life.
00:28:37.900I'm sure there were still confused people or people who had a sexual fetish or people who dealt with all sorts of delusions.
00:28:44.800But we didn't deal with it as a matter of public life because we said boys are boys and girls are girls.
00:28:50.940And if you're a man who thinks he's a woman, that's your problem and I hope you get some help for it.
00:42:01.960I've never once heard from anybody other than him that lack of prayer is the cause of shootings or any other kind of evil or suffering.
00:42:13.360No, what happens is after bad things happen, compassionate people, people with a even somewhat clear understanding of reality, will say, oh, I'm praying for you.
00:42:28.460I'm sending you, I'm thinking of you, and I'm praying for you.
00:42:32.780And then libs will scream and yell at them for it or make fun of them for it.
00:43:46.600That's one of the most basic problems that anyone who is given even two seconds of thought to morality and religion has considered.
00:44:00.820And these people haven't even gotten that far.
00:44:02.660You know, it's often pointed out that the libs who are pushing gun control know the least about guns.
00:44:09.260They don't know how any of the guns work.
00:44:11.440They don't know anything about the history of guns.
00:44:13.020They don't know anything about the effects of gun control laws.
00:44:16.600They don't know anything about the history of the Second Amendment.
00:44:19.740They just don't know anything about anything.
00:44:20.980But they're the ones who are pontificating and attempting to regulate these things.
00:44:25.460Well, certainly the same is true of thoughts and prayers.
00:44:28.440These people have never given one second of thought to thoughts and prayers and the meaning of prayer and the meaning of suffering and why good things happen to good people.
00:44:35.460Theodicy and, more broadly, theology or any of it.
00:44:40.040All they've got to offer is bile and poison.
00:45:17.160The second and more complex tragedy is that Aidan or Aubrey Hale, who felt he had no, he, it's a she, had no other effective way to be seen than to lash out by taking the life of others and by consequence himself, really herself.
00:45:29.080And that's the, that's the, that's the real tragedy.
00:45:32.440She just, she just felt she had no other option.
00:45:37.840You know, and why did she feel that way?
00:45:56.380Yeah, what, that's the real tragedy is that you guys just didn't get on the program with the transgender ideology.
00:46:04.140This statement tells me, it goes on and it gets worse and I just won't read it.
00:46:07.000What this tells me though, is I think this is the, the final collapse of one of the dishonest arguments we hear from the libs on the transgender ideology issue, which is who cares?
00:46:32.960These people care enough that they would blame Christians and conservatives and society broadly for forcing a transgender identifying person to shoot up a Christian school full of little kids.
00:46:53.940Like an abusive husband who says to his wife, why did you make me do that?
00:46:58.940Why did you make this shooter do that?
00:47:02.960It goes, how many, one, two, three, four, five, see like 11 or 12 paragraphs on that.
00:47:32.840I think they care and I think they care a lot.
00:47:34.780And if one does not have the clarity and courage to stand against this ideology that is about a lot more than just some confused people.
00:47:46.500It's about using confused people, weaponizing confused people to upend an entire political order and to exalt the most disgusting and depraved and wicked sorts of people in society.
00:48:04.060The kind of people who would write these tweets and suppressing and bullying into silence ordinary people who hold ordinary, true, traditional beliefs.
