00:00:00.180 According to news reports, Black Lives Matter is going bankrupt.
00:00:05.100 Despite having raised a whopping $90 million in just one year,
00:00:10.000 following the death of George Floyd, BLM is now reportedly $8.5 million in the hole
00:00:14.900 and might have to shutter operations.
00:00:17.560 Which sounds great, except like so many news stories, it isn't true.
00:00:24.440 The numbers are all true, but the story is not true.
00:00:28.500 BLM is not going bankrupt.
00:00:31.320 It's just distributed all the money.
00:00:34.900 The founders got their mansions, the cronies got their payouts,
00:00:38.780 the operatives milked corporate America for a ton of cash,
00:00:41.960 and now it's likely to close up shop, which gives BLM the added benefit
00:00:46.540 of closing its crooked books and reducing the scrutiny that it's currently under.
00:00:51.660 Black Lives Matter was never an institution for the long haul.
00:00:55.780 It was always just an opportunistic shakedown racket,
00:00:59.540 which has now dispersed its bribes to its network of gangsters
00:01:02.800 and is now poised to disappear.
00:01:05.320 Just in time for the operatives to spin up a new scam
00:01:09.260 to score cash for scaring citizens as we head into the next presidential election.
00:01:16.060 Right on time.
00:01:17.440 The more things change, the more they stay the same.
00:01:20.640 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:21.360 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:22.360 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:31.960 We are moving into a brave new world.
00:01:35.760 And actually, there's a video going around from the Kardashians.
00:01:41.460 I've never watched an episode of The Kardashians Show,
00:01:44.920 but Khloe Kardashian gives a really important perspective on surrogacy,
00:01:52.540 pregnancy and surrogacy that is frankly, it's more perceptive than even many pro-lifers have
00:01:58.540 talked about.
00:01:58.940 So we'll get to that in just a second.
00:02:00.100 First though, speaking of these payoffs, Bud Light, poor Bud Light down, what is it?
00:02:09.140 15 bill in market cap right now, Bud Light apparently still has not learned its lesson.
00:02:18.340 Because Bud Light, according to reports, is still going to sponsor three pride events.
00:02:27.920 Daily Wire reported on this yesterday.
00:02:30.880 Bud Light is listed as the sponsor of the Cincinnati Pride Parade,
00:02:34.580 Planned Parenthood and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, which trans as little kids are both
00:02:39.320 also listed for that one.
00:02:40.800 In St. Louis, where Transheiser Bush is headquartered, they are a presenting sponsor,
00:02:47.660 the presenting sponsor of the St. Louis Pride Parade.
00:02:51.440 The rainbow sponsorship tier, which is below the presenting sponsor tier,
00:02:56.020 requires 25 grand in donations to the LGBT LMNOP Gestapo.
00:03:03.600 So who knows how much Transheiser Bush is paying there.
00:03:06.300 And then they're also listed as a diamond sponsor of Stonewall Columbus,
00:03:09.900 which organizes and hosts the annual Columbus, Ohio Pride Parade.
00:03:16.820 It's not an accident.
00:03:18.340 It's not an oopsie daisy.
00:03:19.640 It's not some rogue VP of marketing named Alyssa, whatever her name is, going rogue.
00:03:24.320 And don't worry, we've put her on leave.
00:03:26.600 So you normal people who don't want us to trans your kids, you can buy Bud Light again.
00:03:32.320 No, this was a decision made from the top.
00:03:36.440 Not just the top of Bud Light, the top of Transheiser Bush, the top of AB InBev.
00:03:42.320 Because we know, I had a long Twitter thread about this the other day,
00:03:45.800 that AB InBev is totally on board with ESG and with GARM
00:03:49.980 and with all of the global multi-industry standards that say that these companies are going to back
00:03:57.480 the pride movement and transgenderism and all the other sexual radicalism.
00:04:03.840 In a way, I feel bad for this marketing executive, Alyssa Hershenfeld or something like that.
00:04:08.620 Because she took the fall for an issue that was obviously directed from the top down.
00:04:14.460 And so they haven't learned their lesson, which means that conservatives need to keep up the pressure.
00:04:21.760 This is working.
00:04:23.520 We have seriously damaged Bud Light.
00:04:27.320 We may have destroyed Bud Light permanently as the best-selling beer in America.
00:04:32.200 You're seeing this a little bit now with Target.
00:04:35.220 Target is getting slammed.
00:04:36.520 They're also losing a ton of money right now because Target decided to sell satanic-designed
00:04:43.660 transgender bathing suits where you can tuck men's body parts into women's bathing suits,
00:04:52.800 pride merch for children, all sorts of stuff.
00:04:55.820 So conservatives are saying, okay, we're not shopping at Target anymore.
00:04:58.100 This is really damaging them.
00:04:59.700 This is the most momentum I've ever seen conservatives have heading into Pride Month.
00:05:07.280 And so we've got to keep up the pressure.
00:05:09.580 Matt articulated this very well the other day, but it's been a motivation and a goal
00:05:15.920 that we've been talking about for some months now, which is we need to make that rainbow flag
00:05:22.200 absolutely toxic in corporate America and among politicians.
00:05:27.860 It has to be toxic.
00:05:29.720 The pride flag is at least as offensive to me as any other flag on earth.
00:05:37.440 It's not even just about the weird sex stuff.
00:05:40.740 Pride is the symbol of the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
00:05:44.040 It is the queen of all vices.
00:05:45.740 It is the sin that made Satan fall like lightning from heaven and kicked Adam and Eve out of the
00:05:50.300 Garden of Eden.
00:05:51.120 It is just pure evil, okay?
00:05:53.360 If you live your life according to pride and all of the subsidiary sins and vices that go along with
00:06:01.240 that, you're not going to flourish.
00:06:03.180 You're not going to have a good life.
00:06:04.360 And a society that exalts pride above every virtue, that makes a virtue out of the deadliest of the
00:06:11.320 seven deadly sins, is not going to be a good society.
00:06:13.320 And so any establishment that is flying that flag out its window, you should not frequent that
00:06:18.940 establishment.
00:06:19.940 Any politician who waves the pride flag as a matter of his campaign, you should not vote for that
00:06:24.540 politician.
00:06:25.280 You should not donate a penny to that politician.
00:06:27.260 I know that I'm preaching to the choir, but we need a little bit of encouragement here, I think,
00:06:31.520 because a lot of people thought, well, we can't boycott every company.
00:06:34.820 And sure, you can't boycott every company, but you can target, you can seriously damage the profit
00:06:41.100 margins of companies that are embracing this stuff in a particular way.
00:06:44.220 We've done it.
00:06:44.880 A lot of people thought it wasn't possible, and then Bud Light lost a ton of market cap.
00:06:50.340 And then Target is in shambles and is scrambling to make sense of this.
00:06:55.960 The LGBT movement went too far over the past few years when they've tried to trans the kids.
00:07:02.320 Public opinion is overwhelmingly on our side.
00:07:05.220 We still have a decent amount of economic power.
00:07:07.480 The political class, at least in some corners of the right, is finally following suit.
00:07:11.780 Keep up that pressure.
00:07:12.980 That pride flag should be understood by everybody in this culture as being absolutely political poison.
00:07:22.180 The people who fly that flag in politics and corporate America should be made anathema.
00:07:27.640 We've got to talk to each other about it.
00:07:29.260 When you want to talk to each other, you've got to check out Pure Talk.

00:08:38.680 Speaking of the LGBT movement, I have seen the most disgusting story and most disturbing story that I have seen in at least a week.
00:08:45.900 I don't know.
00:08:46.700 At least this week.
00:08:48.620 We touched on it a little bit earlier.
00:08:50.680 Now more information is coming out.
00:08:51.720 This is from the post-millennial.
00:08:53.320 A transgender mother appears to feed a newborn baby with a milky substance that he claims were secreted from his pecs, I don't know, from his chest, after injecting himself with a bunch of hormones.
00:09:10.400 This trans TikTok user who calls himself Naomi.
00:09:13.740 We played the clip earlier this week of him saying, I have taken enough poison that I can now secrete some kind of fluid from my chest, and that makes me feel that I'm a real woman because I feel like I'm producing milk.
00:09:28.160 Now this man has also come into possession of a baby, which is extremely disturbing.
00:09:34.900 And then this guy posted images of him feeding whatever substance he has produced to this baby in a bottle.
00:09:45.560 Very, very, very disturbing.
00:09:49.480 This man who, I don't know what his real name is.
00:09:51.480 He calls himself Naomi.
00:09:52.600 He referred to this as a cow achievement, that he's been able to produce some substance that simulates milk.
00:10:00.700 And he's very pleased that he's now a mother, in his own words.
00:10:06.840 He calls this queer joy.
00:10:08.720 My political ideology is whatever can stop this.
00:10:18.640 That's my, I know that we've had a lot of political realignments in recent years.
00:10:22.380 We talk about the shifting grounds, because politics always is principles applied to changing circumstances.
00:10:30.080 Okay, whatever, my team is whatever stops this.
00:10:33.820 Okay?
00:10:34.040 Okay, now the transgender movement is claiming that there's nothing wrong with this at all.
00:10:41.720 And what they're claiming is that men, at least in theory, could produce milk.
00:10:48.500 Men have at least a small amount of all of the tissue that is required to produce milk.
00:10:53.460 And so if you inject a man with enough hormones, enough synthetic chemicals and poison,
00:10:59.940 he can trick his body into thinking that he's a woman at least to some degree,
00:11:03.300 and he can produce a substance that at least resembles milk.
00:11:06.640 And even though the scientific authorities have in no way signed off on the safety of this substance
00:11:12.720 and have urged caution and said, no, this should not be given out to children,
00:11:16.280 we can at least kind of pretend that it's milk.
00:11:20.140 Don't you know?
00:11:21.360 Don't you know, you troglodyte conservatives, that men actually can lactate?
00:11:26.460 Yeah, sure, we got to inject them with a ton of poison to make that happen.
00:11:29.260 But don't you know?
00:11:30.260 It can happen.
00:11:30.920 You guys clearly, you didn't take your science class.
00:11:33.220 Okay.
00:11:34.360 Okay.
00:11:35.840 Let's say that whatever milk-like substance is produced by this man injecting himself with hormones,
00:11:43.640 let's say that it were basically considered safe for babies.
00:11:50.240 Let's say that.
00:11:50.980 We don't have a reason to believe that now, but let's say in the future we do figure that out.
00:11:54.240 Even still, looking at that picture of, and if you're just listening to this show, you're lucky.
00:12:02.900 But for those of you who are looking at this guy, this guy with the purple wig on who's mutilated his body,
00:12:11.260 and then he's holding this baby, he's allowed to be in possession of this baby,
00:12:15.140 and then he's feeding this baby this weird stuff that's come out of his chest.
00:12:18.600 First, we all know there's something wrong with that.
00:12:24.260 We all know, including and especially the transgender movement.
00:12:28.720 They all know there's something wrong.
00:12:30.320 That's, they have mirrors, okay?
00:12:32.500 They have, even though they have defects of perception, they know.
00:12:38.400 We all know, okay?
00:12:39.800 And this is an important lesson in politics.
00:12:45.520 We have been told to eradicate every last prejudice that we've ever had by the political left.
00:12:51.340 Now, of course, the political left then just reinserts a whole bunch of new premises that are,
00:12:55.440 a whole bunch of new prejudices, rather, that are far less rational than the other ones.
00:13:00.020 But the whole project of modernity tells us that we need to be able to write a perfectly rational treatise
00:13:06.900 for every single thing that we do.
00:13:08.220 But, of course, no one can operate that way.
00:13:09.780 You can't wake up in the morning and say, hey, should I have a shot of espresso or a latte or a cup of drip coffee?
00:13:16.840 Hmm, I don't know.
00:13:17.580 Let me examine all of the pros and cons for each.
00:13:20.880 Let me write a long essay on which type of coffee is the best.
00:13:26.480 Let me see, should I have dark roast or blonde roast?
00:13:29.680 Well, let me, you would never get out of bed.
00:13:32.480 Should I use this toothpaste or that toothpaste?
00:13:34.420 Let me rationally analyze and give the perfect rational arguments for all of them.
00:13:38.000 No, we operate very often on instinct.
00:13:43.980 We operate on tradition.
00:13:46.020 We operate by habit.
00:13:47.280 We operate by prejudice.
00:13:48.640 Prejudice is a good thing.
00:13:50.000 There can be unjust prejudices.
00:13:51.940 And so you want to make sure that you're using your reason and your will in a way that will give you a flourishing life in society.
00:13:59.840 But we need prejudice.
00:14:01.980 Prejudice is not necessarily a bad word.
00:14:04.740 In fact, most of the time, it's a very, very good word.
00:14:07.260 Because we just make judgments based on all sorts of reason, including something that the ethicist Leon Cass articulated very well, which is the wisdom of repugnance.
00:14:19.800 We look at that man who's done all sorts of nasty things to his body and has come into possession of a child in some way.
00:14:27.840 And is injecting himself with all sorts of chemicals and is recklessly endangering this child by giving the child untested fluid that makes him feel like he's more of a woman, which he is not, but might be very, very harmful for the child.
00:14:45.000 We just don't really know.
00:14:45.900 And we just know, without having to write any rational essay, that that is wrong and should be discouraged and obviously should be banned by law.
00:14:58.040 We all know it, and it's not a bad thing to say it.
00:15:02.060 You think the brave new world is in the future.
00:15:04.860 That's what I thought.
00:15:05.900 I thought the brave new world, oh, in the future, things are going to get really bad, that we're going to start living in a dystopia.
00:15:13.380 The future is already kind of here.
00:15:15.900 Isn't it?
00:15:16.700 That's already happening.
00:15:17.420 And maybe that's one eccentric weirdo guy.
00:15:20.380 And maybe we're seeing reports.
00:15:22.540 This is a really disturbing report.
00:15:25.660 100% lab-grown babies in five years.
00:15:29.360 This is out of The Guardian.
00:15:31.120 Japanese researchers are on the cusp of creating human eggs and sperm that can be grown in a fake womb.
00:15:37.660 Producing human sperm and eggs in the lab is known as in vitro gametogenesis.
00:15:42.140 It's already been achieved in mice.
00:15:43.500 Scientists say it's possible in humans in five years.
00:15:47.500 Meaning that you could take any kind of cell from any kind of people.
00:15:52.260 You take a skin cell from two dudes and create a baby.
00:15:54.780 And then have, through this artificial synthetic sperm and egg, make a baby who, in some cases, would have no parents.
00:16:05.760 Meaning, yes, maybe you get two dudes or two chicks or one dude and who knows, coming in and using some of their cells to do it.
00:16:13.080 Or you just make the baby on a computer.
00:16:17.260 You say, okay, this is the kind of sperm we're going to have.
00:16:18.740 This is the kind of egg we're going to have.
00:16:19.780 And you make a baby that doesn't have parents.
00:16:21.900 And this is being heralded as an exciting new breakthrough.
00:16:25.700 We're right on the cusp, five years away.
00:16:29.140 In other words, the headline is,
00:16:32.660 Scientists so excited, scientists looking forward to producing a human being
00:16:38.220 with the intention of depriving that human being of a mother and a father
00:16:42.500 for no other reason than to satisfy their own morbid curiosity and to make themselves into gods.
00:16:48.540 And we're supposed to celebrate this.
00:16:52.340 Since modernity kicked in,
00:16:55.620 after the scientific revolution,
00:16:57.780 after the enlightenment,
00:16:59.420 there have been a lot of technological advancements.
00:17:03.080 But there's been a complete collapse
00:17:04.920 in ethics,
00:17:07.320 theology, morality, and philosophy.
00:17:09.320 There's been a collapse.
00:17:10.160 We don't know anything anymore.
00:17:11.120 We don't know who we are.
00:17:11.780 We don't know what a man is.
00:17:12.540 We don't know what a woman is.
00:17:13.880 And that's a very dangerous combination.
00:17:16.180 That's very, very toxic.
00:17:18.480 Because we end up in Jurassic Park.
00:17:21.680 Jurassic Park is, in fact,
00:17:23.620 in many ways about this problem.
00:17:26.400 It's also about big, scary dinosaurs running around.
00:17:28.320 But it's in many ways about this problem.
00:17:30.000 That's the deeper message.
00:17:31.160 Which is,
00:17:32.020 what will happen in society
00:17:33.980 if we achieve technical knowledge
00:17:36.860 such that we can do
00:17:38.420 the sorts of things we've never been able to do before
00:17:41.140 but we lose the moral and philosophical
00:17:46.840 and theological wisdom
00:17:49.080 to understand when we shouldn't do certain things.
00:17:52.860 And it's not just off in the future.
00:17:54.480 This kind of stuff is happening right now.
00:17:57.120 I've got to start watching the Kardashian show, I guess.
00:17:59.540 The only reality show I've ever really liked
00:18:01.140 is Jersey Shore
00:18:01.880 because I just know those people.
00:18:04.360 I grew up with those kind of people.
00:18:05.440 And I've got to start watching the Kardashian show.
00:18:08.320 This was one of the most serious and nuanced discussions
00:18:11.920 of the issue of surrogacy
00:18:14.560 that I've seen anywhere on television.
00:18:17.300 And a claim from Khloe Kardashian.
00:18:20.600 Do you feel less connected?
00:18:23.260 Mm-hmm.
00:18:23.780 This is not easy.
00:18:25.140 I definitely buried my head in the sand
00:18:27.080 during that pregnancy
00:18:28.260 that I didn't digest what was happening.
00:18:30.680 And so I think when I went to the hospital,
00:18:33.060 I really think that was the first time
00:18:34.740 that really registered.
00:18:36.420 And it has nothing to do with the baby.
00:18:38.520 It's just, you're like,
00:18:39.800 okay, we're having a baby.
00:18:41.220 And this is my son
00:18:42.520 and I'm taking him home with me.
00:18:44.400 I definitely was in a state of shock, I think,
00:18:47.180 from my entire experience in general.
00:18:51.760 Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, stop, don't stop.
00:18:54.200 I felt really guilty that, like,
00:18:55.900 this woman just had my baby
00:18:58.240 and you're just, I take the baby
00:19:00.260 and then I go to another room
00:19:01.560 and you're sort of separated.
00:19:02.720 Like, I felt it's such a transactional experience
00:19:06.660 because it's not about him.
00:19:08.720 Come on here.
00:19:09.740 Come on, come on.
00:19:11.600 I wish someone was honest about surrogacy
00:19:14.280 and the difference of it.
00:19:17.360 But it doesn't mean it's bad or good.
00:19:19.460 It's still great.
00:19:21.400 Okay, and there it is right at the end.
00:19:24.380 That's the required endorsement
00:19:28.640 of the sexual revolution
00:19:30.180 and all this progressive insanity.
00:19:33.020 But the entire segment,
00:19:35.400 the whole argument,
00:19:37.220 says, no, surrogacy is obviously terrible.
00:19:39.840 There's obviously something deeply wrong with this.
00:19:42.340 And here's why.
00:19:43.840 And here's how I felt it
00:19:44.800 and here's how I bet the surrogate mother felt it
00:19:46.380 and here's why it's so wrong for the baby
00:19:47.980 because procreation is supposed to be
00:19:50.300 about the baby.
00:19:50.980 The only person to be said
00:19:52.320 to have any real rights in that
00:19:53.800 is the baby, is not us.
00:19:55.860 But I've had trouble connecting with my child now
00:19:58.020 as a result of this.
00:19:58.880 I feel like I just discarded this woman.
00:20:00.700 I just rented this poor woman's womb
00:20:02.120 and then I throw her out
00:20:02.920 and I take the baby.
00:20:03.900 It didn't occur to me
00:20:04.860 that the natural process of pregnancy
00:20:06.960 would get me prepared
00:20:08.580 physically and mentally
00:20:10.300 and spiritually to have a baby.
00:20:11.640 I didn't have any of that.
00:20:12.360 I just drove to the hospital one day.
00:20:13.580 I just realized, oh my goodness,
00:20:14.480 I'm having a baby.
00:20:15.100 And it's been so, so hard.
00:20:16.560 And I wish people were honest
00:20:17.600 about how terrible surrogacy is.
00:20:19.820 But I mean, it's great though.
00:20:21.900 No, but it's really, it's great though.
00:20:24.260 I know I have to say that
00:20:25.480 because I'm a mainstream figure on television.
00:20:28.300 But it's not.
00:20:30.720 It's not great.
00:20:32.260 It's obviously wrong.
00:20:33.980 And I see why people
00:20:35.240 have been tempted to do it.
00:20:38.540 I see why all sorts of temptations exist.
00:20:44.320 People are tempted
00:20:45.040 toward things that are bad
00:20:47.000 because it seems like
00:20:49.240 there's some goodness there
00:20:50.200 or because they feel
00:20:51.200 a little bit desperate
00:20:52.040 or because they're constrained
00:20:53.780 in their lives.
00:20:54.420 And so I get it.
00:20:55.160 I understand the temptation
00:20:56.120 to surrogacy.
00:20:58.280 But good ends,
00:21:00.140 the good end of having a baby,
00:21:02.220 do not justify immoral means.
00:21:05.800 And when we engage in immoral means,
00:21:07.160 I mean, you see this
00:21:07.840 throughout the Old Testament.
00:21:09.620 Some of the greatest figures
00:21:10.500 in the Old Testament
00:21:11.200 start to cut corners
00:21:12.960 and start to fall into temptations
00:21:14.820 and start to say,
00:21:16.320 oh, well, I can't have a child
00:21:17.420 with my wife
00:21:17.900 or I'm going to have a child
00:21:18.600 with her handmaid.
00:21:20.140 Or, okay, I can't get this victory
00:21:23.160 that I want.
00:21:23.600 Okay, I'm going to cut a corner over here.
00:21:25.380 And it never works out.
00:21:26.800 Things begin to spiral out of control.
00:21:28.760 We are simply not smart enough
00:21:30.680 to be able to account
00:21:31.860 for all of the externalities,
00:21:33.540 to account for all of the unintended
00:21:35.200 consequences of these sorts of things.
00:21:36.860 We think we are.
00:21:37.900 We flatter ourselves
00:21:38.700 in rationalist modernity
00:21:39.960 that we can reason through
00:21:41.620 every single little thing.
00:21:42.780 In fact, we're far less capable
00:21:43.920 of reasoning through
00:21:44.720 all of these consequences
00:21:46.020 than human beings were
00:21:47.160 even 400 or 500 years ago.
00:21:48.940 We don't possess
00:21:50.280 even the sophistication
00:21:51.480 that people had then.
00:21:52.960 And then they had
00:21:53.600 a much healthier dose of humility
00:21:55.140 and recognized that
00:21:57.360 it might seem fine
00:21:59.660 on a sheet of paper
00:22:00.240 to say, okay,
00:22:00.700 I'm going to rent
00:22:01.800 this poor woman's womb.
00:22:02.960 She's going to deal
00:22:03.520 with all the difficult
00:22:04.300 parts of pregnancy.
00:22:05.020 And then I'm going to go
00:22:05.600 pick up my baby
00:22:06.220 at the baby store.
00:22:06.960 But gosh,
00:22:08.140 it just seems so transactional.
00:22:09.920 And isn't there something
00:22:10.700 deeper to human life
00:22:11.980 than mere transaction?
00:22:14.060 Modernity, liberalism
00:22:15.220 tells us
00:22:16.220 that we're all basically
00:22:17.740 just consumers.
00:22:18.600 We're all just economic creatures
00:22:19.800 in a marketplace.
00:22:20.760 And I pay you for this
00:22:21.880 and you give me
00:22:22.440 that good and service
00:22:23.280 and the left believes that.
00:22:24.440 And even the right,
00:22:25.480 large swaths of the right
00:22:26.500 believe that.
00:22:27.060 But it's not true.
00:22:27.980 You can't just
00:22:29.020 make every aspect
00:22:32.020 of our lives
00:22:32.620 into some economic transaction.
00:22:34.120 This is what the great
00:22:35.100 conservative Edmund Burke
00:22:36.040 warned about
00:22:36.520 when he warned of the
00:22:37.680 economists,
00:22:38.500 sophisters,
00:22:38.960 and calculators
00:22:39.620 who had taken over
00:22:40.600 the world.
00:22:41.720 These are not merely
00:22:42.880 economic transactions,
00:22:44.500 especially when we're
00:22:45.360 talking about the
00:22:45.820 relationship between
00:22:46.980 a mother and her child.
00:22:49.940 Listen to Khloe Kardashian.
00:22:52.140 She makes a good argument.
00:22:54.980 As things are falling apart.
00:22:55.820 By the way, folks,
00:22:57.560 we are going to need
00:22:59.480 to prepare for
00:23:00.900 what could come.

00:24:05.360 With Father's Day
00:24:06.260 coming up,
00:24:07.200 I've been thinking
00:24:07.700 about how grateful
00:24:08.300 I am that my father
00:24:09.580 did not become a woman.
00:24:10.980 For all of his
00:24:11.600 many accomplishments,
00:24:12.600 the greatest accomplishment
00:24:13.640 might be that he
00:24:15.380 gave me my life,
00:24:16.380 at least from my perspective,
00:24:17.700 and he couldn't have
00:24:18.360 done that if he
00:24:19.020 had become a chick.
00:24:19.880 Without him,
00:24:20.480 I wouldn't be here.
00:24:22.300 While that might be
00:24:22.920 a strange thing to say,
00:24:23.760 we live in strange times,
00:24:24.700 so we shouldn't take
00:24:25.340 the simplest gifts
00:24:26.000 for granted.
00:24:26.600 Show your appreciation
00:24:27.380 and gratitude
00:24:27.820 for your dad,
00:24:28.780 making the bold choice
00:24:29.700 to remain the gender
00:24:31.320 that he was assigned
00:24:32.400 at birth with a gift
00:24:33.720 from Jeremy's Razors.
00:24:35.000 Right now,
00:24:35.880 they have a 30% off sale

00:24:44.420 do not just give him
00:24:45.580 any gift.
00:24:46.400 Give him Jeremy's Razors,
00:24:47.580 the gift that says,
00:24:48.440 thank you, Dad,
00:24:48.880 for being and staying
00:24:50.220 a man.
00:24:51.360 Thank you for manzitioning.
00:24:53.280 Go to jeremysrazors.com today
00:24:55.020 to take 30% off
00:24:56.680 our razors
00:24:57.440 and not 100%
00:24:58.720 off your genitals.
00:25:01.780 That line still gets me
00:25:03.220 when I read it
00:25:03.840 and whoever the copywriter is
00:25:05.140 certainly deserves
00:25:06.460 a raise.
00:25:08.040 Speaking of technology,
00:25:09.800 we're seeing election
00:25:10.660 interference from big tech
00:25:11.800 already
00:25:12.320 and it's not Trump
00:25:14.620 getting kicked off Twitter
00:25:15.540 and it's not DeSantis
00:25:16.340 getting kicked off YouTube
00:25:17.320 or something.
00:25:17.940 It is my friend
00:25:19.480 Vivek Ramaswamy
00:25:21.240 being kicked off of
00:25:23.480 LinkedIn,
00:25:25.100 which is,
00:25:26.000 I have to say,
00:25:27.620 the most
00:25:28.440 Vivek social network
00:25:31.080 to be kicked off of.
00:25:32.140 That is so,
00:25:33.420 I've mentioned that
00:25:34.500 Vivek and I
00:25:35.960 know each other
00:25:36.940 from college.
00:25:37.700 I was an undergraduate
00:25:38.440 when he was at the law school.
00:25:40.000 We were in similar
00:25:40.800 kind of clubs
00:25:41.360 and organizations
00:25:42.000 to one another.
00:25:43.240 And so,
00:25:45.680 at the time,
00:25:47.020 we didn't know each other
00:25:48.280 very well during college,
00:25:49.640 but he had a reputation
00:25:51.180 as being just very
00:25:52.600 type A,
00:25:53.680 very meticulous,
00:25:54.400 very, very intelligent,
00:25:55.500 very serious
00:25:56.120 and ambitious
00:25:56.620 and successful
00:25:57.260 and he obviously
00:25:58.300 has proven that.
00:25:59.400 He sold a company
00:26:00.440 for a ton of money.
00:26:01.980 He attended
00:26:03.980 the top law school
00:26:04.720 in the country,
00:26:05.540 at least when he was there.
00:26:06.300 It seems to have gone downhill
00:26:07.100 since then.
00:26:08.240 And now he's running
00:26:09.980 for president.
00:26:10.600 He's a best-selling author.
00:26:11.640 Very impressive guy.
00:26:12.460 I just love the idea
00:26:13.480 that for Vivek,
00:26:15.120 his kind of doom-scrolling,
00:26:16.900 you know,
00:26:17.140 in his free time
00:26:17.880 is that he's just on LinkedIn.
00:26:19.960 Very professional,
00:26:21.060 responsible social media app.
00:26:22.460 And he was kicked off,
00:26:23.520 allegedly,
00:26:24.140 for spreading misinformation.
00:26:26.520 Here's why he was kicked off.
00:26:27.700 I was a bit surprised
00:26:28.960 to get an email
00:26:30.000 noting that my LinkedIn account
00:26:32.280 had been shut down.
00:26:34.200 I wondered why
00:26:34.980 because actually
00:26:35.380 a number of friends
00:26:35.940 texted me saying
00:26:36.600 they followed me on LinkedIn.
00:26:37.620 That's how they keep up.
00:26:38.380 They weren't able
00:26:38.780 to find me anymore.
00:26:40.380 And so when I
00:26:41.160 had my team
00:26:42.140 get in touch with LinkedIn,
00:26:43.160 here's the response
00:26:44.040 that we got.
00:26:44.860 I'm not kidding.
00:26:45.360 I'm reading from this.
00:26:46.100 Apparently,
00:26:46.620 my third strike
00:26:47.480 was to say this.
00:26:49.240 The climate agenda
00:26:50.100 is a lie.
00:26:51.640 Fossil fuels
00:26:52.360 are a requirement
00:26:53.440 for human prosperity.
00:26:55.800 Those are my three strikes
00:26:57.320 that got me censored
00:26:59.220 on LinkedIn.
00:27:00.120 Now, it's kind of funny
00:27:03.160 and LinkedIn doesn't matter
00:27:06.300 obviously as much
00:27:07.060 as Twitter
00:27:07.560 or Google
00:27:09.540 or YouTube
00:27:10.280 or Facebook.
00:27:11.660 Though,
00:27:12.000 LinkedIn is owned
00:27:12.500 by Microsoft.
00:27:13.180 So we're talking
00:27:13.540 about a very big company.
00:27:15.140 And it shows you,
00:27:15.840 okay,
00:27:16.660 they think they can go
00:27:17.560 after Vivek right now
00:27:18.640 because he doesn't have
00:27:19.440 as much name recognition
00:27:20.500 and so they'll get
00:27:22.820 less pushback
00:27:23.520 than if they went
00:27:23.980 after Trump
00:27:24.460 or DeSantis.
00:27:25.060 Okay,
00:27:25.720 it's just this one.
00:27:27.560 Think about how early
00:27:28.480 we are in the race though
00:27:29.500 and already
00:27:30.380 you're seeing
00:27:30.860 these kinds of shenanigans.
00:27:32.700 To me,
00:27:34.140 LinkedIn going after
00:27:35.260 Vivek this way
00:27:36.060 is a little warning shot.
00:27:38.940 It's a little test shot
00:27:40.180 in the race
00:27:40.900 to see what happens
00:27:42.880 now.
00:27:45.720 We have new candidates
00:27:47.100 in the race.
00:27:49.300 Mike Pence
00:27:50.280 has long been rumored
00:27:51.860 to be interested
00:27:52.540 in entering the race.
00:27:54.380 Pence has not seen
00:27:55.040 said that he's running
00:27:55.900 but he kind of got
00:27:58.640 scooped by CNN here
00:28:00.060 in that CNN
00:28:00.980 released word
00:28:02.440 that he is going
00:28:03.680 to participate
00:28:04.220 in a CNN
00:28:04.840 presidential town hall.
00:28:07.060 A little awkward
00:28:07.880 that they made
00:28:08.920 that announcement
00:28:09.380 before he announced
00:28:10.120 that he's running
00:28:10.480 for president.
00:28:11.100 Presumably though
00:28:11.700 if you participate
00:28:12.300 in a CNN town hall
00:28:13.360 you are running
00:28:14.620 for president.
00:28:16.280 And Mike Pence
00:28:18.240 has gone now
00:28:19.280 on other networks
00:28:20.120 and he's started
00:28:21.620 to begin the process
00:28:23.600 of crafting a message
00:28:24.920 for his campaign.
00:28:26.500 Here is Mike Pence
00:28:27.740 going after Ron DeSantis
00:28:28.820 on Fox Business.
00:28:31.260 I just don't believe
00:28:33.120 it's in the interest
00:28:34.620 of the people
00:28:36.040 of any state
00:28:37.200 for a government
00:28:39.080 to essentially
00:28:39.620 go after a business
00:28:40.980 that they disagreed with
00:28:42.440 on a political issue.
00:28:43.660 I disagree with Florida
00:28:45.080 moving against
00:28:45.960 Walt Disney.
00:28:47.260 I disagree with California
00:28:48.780 moving against Walgreens
00:28:50.880 because they're going
00:28:51.700 to obey the law
00:28:52.860 about abortifacients
00:28:54.700 in some 20 states
00:28:55.780 so they're going
00:28:56.100 to cancel
00:28:56.540 a $120 million project.
00:28:58.760 Look, at the end
00:28:59.640 of the day
00:29:00.260 the business of America
00:29:01.400 is business
00:29:02.300 and I'm not terribly
00:29:03.980 surprised to see
00:29:05.020 Disney canceling
00:29:06.000 a billion dollar contract
00:29:07.340 that's only going
00:29:08.720 to harm people
00:29:09.440 in the Orlando
00:29:10.100 and Florida area
00:29:11.660 and it's one more
00:29:13.520 reason why
00:29:14.460 as a limited
00:29:15.860 government conservative
00:29:16.920 I've said for months
00:29:19.080 now that I think
00:29:20.460 both sides
00:29:21.100 ought to stand down
00:29:22.480 take the victory
00:29:23.820 for parents' rights
00:29:24.740 in the legislature
00:29:25.480 and move on.
00:29:27.320 So this message
00:29:28.860 is probably not going
00:29:30.340 to resonate
00:29:30.780 with a lot of people
00:29:31.620 at least not right now.
00:29:33.680 The GOP base
00:29:34.940 seems to be
00:29:35.840 pretty eager
00:29:36.820 for an aggressive
00:29:39.280 response
00:29:40.440 to the cultural war
00:29:41.740 that the libs
00:29:42.440 have been waging
00:29:43.280 especially when we're
00:29:44.320 talking about
00:29:44.640 Disney down in Florida
00:29:45.460 or Bud Light
00:29:46.160 or Target
00:29:46.980 or any of these
00:29:47.460 other companies
00:29:48.020 and Mike Pence
00:29:48.880 is offering a
00:29:49.820 fairly contrarian
00:29:51.960 argument here.
00:29:52.660 He's saying look
00:29:53.100 the business of America
00:29:54.240 is business.
00:29:54.960 That's a line
00:29:55.300 from Calvin Coolidge
00:29:56.220 saying the business
00:29:57.420 of America is business.
00:29:58.300 We don't really want
00:29:58.840 to antagonize business
00:29:59.720 too much.
00:30:00.400 We want to be
00:30:01.440 social conservatives.
00:30:02.460 We want to defend
00:30:03.180 our values
00:30:03.800 but we don't want
00:30:04.980 to just pummel
00:30:05.600 these businesses
00:30:06.220 into the ground
00:30:07.100 and Ron DeSantis
00:30:08.760 he went too far here.
00:30:10.340 This is a message
00:30:11.120 that to some degree
00:30:12.880 is being put forward
00:30:14.600 by President Trump.
00:30:15.800 The difference
00:30:16.280 is that Trump
00:30:16.820 is such a belligerent
00:30:18.860 cultural figure
00:30:19.720 that he somewhat
00:30:23.480 probably uniquely
00:30:25.000 can make both
00:30:26.260 of those arguments
00:30:26.740 at the same time.
00:30:28.020 Out of the one side
00:30:28.800 of his mouth
00:30:29.140 he can say Mexicans
00:30:29.920 are rapists and murderers
00:30:31.100 and we've got to
00:30:31.580 deport everybody
00:30:32.300 and then out of
00:30:33.020 the other side
00:30:33.440 he can say
00:30:34.600 all right we need
00:30:35.200 to make a deal
00:30:35.860 and bring the temperature
00:30:36.800 down a little bit
00:30:37.460 and the other candidates
00:30:38.900 are falling down
00:30:39.720 on one side
00:30:40.240 or the other
00:30:40.580 so DeSantis
00:30:41.160 is falling down
00:30:41.760 very much on the
00:30:42.440 we're going to
00:30:42.720 pummel Disney
00:30:43.200 into the ground
00:30:43.660 side of things
00:30:44.160 and Mike Pence
00:30:44.940 here is trying
00:30:45.720 to carve out
00:30:46.340 a new space
00:30:47.200 for himself
00:30:47.640 in the race
00:30:48.060 and he's saying
00:30:48.660 look I'm the
00:30:49.300 pro business guy
00:30:50.360 I'm the Calvin
00:30:51.480 Coolidge Republican
00:30:52.340 I am the return
00:30:54.300 to normalcy
00:30:55.600 that's his argument
00:30:56.860 and it's a little bit
00:30:57.860 of a long shot argument
00:30:58.860 right now
00:30:59.600 just judging from
00:31:00.460 where the GOP base is
00:31:01.560 but I think
00:31:02.900 it's not the craziest
00:31:04.100 idea for a campaign
00:31:05.200 in that
00:31:05.980 you've got Trump
00:31:07.280 running as Trump
00:31:08.180 you've got DeSantis
00:31:09.740 running as Trump 2.0
00:31:11.780 so they're both running
00:31:13.040 in the Trump lane
00:31:14.400 which is
00:31:15.260 which is a kind of
00:31:16.900 old right
00:31:18.320 anti-globalism
00:31:21.000 to some degree
00:31:22.440 anti-free trade
00:31:24.180 Pat Buchanan
00:31:25.640 kind of right wing
00:31:26.860 then you've got
00:31:28.720 Vivek
00:31:29.420 he's the outsider
00:31:30.140 candidate
00:31:30.560 then you've got
00:31:32.240 Nikki Haley
00:31:33.560 and Tim Scott
00:31:34.360 they're running
00:31:34.940 a little bit more
00:31:36.160 of a centrist
00:31:37.260 moderate campaign
00:31:38.100 and Mike Pence
00:31:39.300 is going to run
00:31:40.000 on a return
00:31:40.720 to normalcy
00:31:41.440 people are going
00:31:42.760 to mock it
00:31:43.420 he's not doing
00:31:43.920 great in the polls
00:31:44.420 right now
00:31:44.940 Joe Biden however
00:31:46.500 ran the return
00:31:47.280 to normalcy campaign
00:31:48.300 and the return
00:31:48.720 to normalcy campaign
00:31:49.660 worked out relatively
00:31:50.820 well for him
00:31:51.480 along with the
00:31:52.200 institutional advantages
00:31:53.460 that the Democrats
00:31:54.440 had
00:31:55.200 all of that
00:31:56.360 said though
00:31:57.080 before we get
00:31:58.620 into mailbag
00:31:59.300 Quinnipiac poll
00:32:00.340 is out
00:32:00.980 Trump is
00:32:02.860 absolutely
00:32:04.400 destroying this
00:32:05.260 primary right now
00:32:06.160 and I know
00:32:07.300 it's early
00:32:07.800 and we've just
00:32:08.360 got these new
00:32:08.940 candidates into the
00:32:09.700 race
00:32:10.020 even within the
00:32:11.060 last week
00:32:11.480 we've seen
00:32:11.840 the entrance
00:32:12.460 of Tim Scott
00:32:13.360 Ron DeSantis
00:32:14.540 and it would
00:32:15.120 seem Mike Pence
00:32:15.900 but
00:32:16.860 it is not even
00:32:18.380 close
00:32:18.780 so Quinnipiac
00:32:19.440 which is a
00:32:20.500 fairly well
00:32:21.180 respected
00:32:21.600 polling outlet
00:32:22.760 they say
00:32:24.140 that in May
00:32:24.800 Trump is
00:32:25.700 at 56%
00:32:27.120 DeSantis
00:32:28.040 is at 25%
00:32:29.100 none of the
00:32:29.440 other candidates
00:32:29.880 are even close
00:32:30.540 that means
00:32:31.880 that Trump
00:32:32.340 is up
00:32:32.680 31 points
00:32:33.600 over DeSantis
00:32:34.280 and that's
00:32:34.740 from the
00:32:35.080 Quinnipiac poll
00:32:35.720 you've seen
00:32:36.080 this reflected
00:32:36.540 in other polls
00:32:37.020 with even
00:32:37.880 wider margins
00:32:38.520 sometimes
00:32:38.980 now the reason
00:32:40.580 that number
00:32:40.940 matters
00:32:41.300 is that
00:32:41.820 it's going
00:32:42.140 in the right
00:32:42.520 direction
00:32:42.900 for Trump
00:32:43.380 in March
00:32:43.960 Trump was
00:32:44.420 only up
00:32:44.760 14 points
00:32:45.480 on DeSantis
00:32:46.020 it was
00:32:46.260 47 to
00:32:46.800 33
00:32:47.140 back in
00:32:47.820 February
00:32:48.060 Trump was
00:32:48.460 only up
00:32:48.740 6 points
00:32:49.220 on DeSantis
00:32:49.720 so now
00:32:50.520 maybe that
00:32:50.920 DeSantis
00:32:51.200 is officially
00:32:51.800 in the race
00:32:52.200 maybe this
00:32:53.120 will give him
00:32:53.700 a big move
00:32:54.520 to be able
00:32:54.840 to weaken
00:32:55.240 Trump
00:32:55.660 and then that
00:32:56.200 will benefit
00:32:56.620 all of the
00:32:57.080 other candidates
00:32:57.620 but as of
00:32:58.340 right now
00:32:58.900 this is
00:33:00.220 far and away
00:33:01.500 Trump's
00:33:02.400 race to lose
00:33:03.340 my favorite
00:33:04.720 comment yesterday
00:33:05.540 is from
00:33:05.800 Buck Frunch
00:33:06.720 what a name
00:33:07.540 who says
00:33:08.180 with the economy
00:33:08.740 in shambles
00:33:09.280 boycotting
00:33:09.920 has never
00:33:10.320 been easier
00:33:10.860 it's true
00:33:11.640 that's very
00:33:12.860 true
00:33:13.200 when the economy
00:33:14.160 is very shaky
00:33:15.100 and you've got
00:33:16.240 hyperinflation
00:33:17.280 and you've got
00:33:18.080 wages stagnating
00:33:19.360 and you've got
00:33:20.540 7% interest rates
00:33:22.180 so people can't
00:33:22.960 afford to buy
00:33:23.700 a new home
00:33:24.380 or move
00:33:25.300 or do much
00:33:25.800 of anything
00:33:26.260 that is a great
00:33:27.580 time to boycott
00:33:28.400 companies
00:33:28.820 because people
00:33:29.360 don't really have
00:33:29.940 the money
00:33:30.220 to go shop
00:33:30.680 at these companies
00:33:31.160 anyway
00:33:31.540 we've now arrived

00:33:46.180 hello Michael
00:33:47.600 I'd firstly
00:33:49.200 like to start
00:33:49.760 off by saying
00:33:50.160 I'm a huge
00:33:50.760 fan of the show
00:33:51.380 good work
00:33:52.740 but my question
00:33:54.880 is on the
00:33:56.800 subject of
00:33:57.300 pride
00:33:57.780 and it being
00:33:58.980 a sin
00:34:00.280 I definitely
00:34:02.660 agree that
00:34:03.400 pride is a sin
00:34:04.140 however
00:34:04.520 when it comes
00:34:05.620 to talking
00:34:07.240 about being
00:34:08.040 proud of
00:34:08.640 say your
00:34:09.160 achievements
00:34:09.540 or if you
00:34:10.880 are a parent
00:34:11.600 and you're
00:34:12.000 proud of your
00:34:12.420 child's achievements
00:34:13.160 like say your
00:34:14.040 child painted
00:34:14.640 something
00:34:15.080 that's quite
00:34:17.220 beautiful
00:34:17.560 and you
00:34:18.360 were proud
00:34:19.100 of your
00:34:19.380 child for
00:34:20.320 that work
00:34:20.760 of art
00:34:21.040 would that
00:34:22.760 be the same
00:34:24.860 type of pride
00:34:25.880 would that
00:34:26.680 still be a sin
00:34:27.480 or
00:34:28.240 what I would
00:34:30.900 say to that
00:34:31.500 in my head
00:34:32.340 kind of right
00:34:32.800 now is no
00:34:33.520 it is not
00:34:34.360 but perhaps
00:34:35.180 pride is not
00:34:36.320 the word
00:34:37.240 to use there
00:34:37.940 I just would
00:34:39.340 like to know
00:34:39.740 what your
00:34:40.060 thoughts on
00:34:40.640 that are
00:34:41.060 really good
00:34:44.300 question
00:34:44.680 and in
00:34:45.480 part this
00:34:46.220 confusion is
00:34:47.000 caused by
00:34:47.840 the limitations
00:34:49.100 of language
00:34:49.900 especially the
00:34:50.640 English language
00:34:51.200 here because
00:34:51.940 we use the
00:34:52.500 same word
00:34:52.920 pride to
00:34:53.420 mean a
00:34:53.760 number of
00:34:54.060 different
00:34:54.300 things that
00:34:54.780 are somewhat
00:34:55.160 related but
00:34:55.780 are distinct
00:34:56.520 pride is
00:34:57.740 excessive love
00:34:58.680 of oneself
00:34:59.680 and one's own
00:35:00.840 qualities and
00:35:01.360 achievements
00:35:01.760 so pride is
00:35:04.560 necessarily
00:35:05.160 excessive
00:35:05.640 there is a
00:35:06.140 proper kind
00:35:07.100 of love of
00:35:07.560 oneself without
00:35:08.340 which we
00:35:08.880 cannot love our
00:35:09.520 neighbor properly
00:35:10.400 because we
00:35:10.900 are called to
00:35:11.640 love our
00:35:11.880 neighbor as
00:35:12.300 ourselves
00:35:12.600 if you hate
00:35:13.080 yourself you're
00:35:13.500 going to hate
00:35:13.720 your neighbor
00:35:14.000 that's not
00:35:14.320 going to be
00:35:14.520 good for
00:35:14.760 anybody
00:35:15.100 there is a
00:35:16.280 proper love
00:35:17.400 of one's
00:35:19.620 achievements and
00:35:21.640 characteristics and
00:35:22.280 family and
00:35:22.800 nation right
00:35:23.600 when you say
00:35:24.040 I'm proud to
00:35:25.060 be an American
00:35:25.660 you're not
00:35:26.480 saying I'm
00:35:27.060 embracing the
00:35:27.880 deadliest of
00:35:28.320 the seven
00:35:28.580 deadly sins
00:35:29.040 you're saying
00:35:29.420 that I love
00:35:30.140 my country
00:35:30.700 and the love
00:35:32.140 of country
00:35:32.580 patriotism is
00:35:33.780 an extension of
00:35:34.940 filial piety
00:35:35.600 which is totally
00:35:36.300 proper so
00:35:37.820 that's all
00:35:39.220 perfectly
00:35:40.280 fine but
00:35:41.260 it's the
00:35:41.640 excessiveness
00:35:42.320 and if
00:35:42.760 there's one
00:35:43.160 word that I
00:35:43.900 could use to
00:35:44.400 describe pride
00:35:46.620 month and the
00:35:47.180 pride movement
00:35:47.660 it would probably
00:35:48.240 be excessive
00:35:49.120 decadent would be
00:35:50.360 another word as
00:35:51.640 well but but
00:35:53.980 having a proper
00:35:54.620 love of yourself
00:35:55.200 and your country
00:35:55.660 and your kids
00:35:56.320 and whatever
00:35:56.620 that's that's
00:35:57.480 all perfectly
00:35:58.220 fine the trick
00:35:59.800 here and I'm
00:36:00.320 not the first
00:36:00.700 to say it is
00:36:01.540 is not to
00:36:02.060 think less of
00:36:02.700 yourself it's
00:36:03.180 to think of
00:36:03.580 yourself less
00:36:04.500 next question
00:36:05.620 hi Michael
00:36:07.260 this is Dave
00:36:08.080 D Bunyan 6
00:36:09.040 in your chat
00:36:09.800 as this
00:36:10.520 non-catholic's
00:36:11.560 favorite catholic
00:36:12.320 I was wondering
00:36:13.160 if you could
00:36:13.960 maybe either
00:36:14.820 clarify or
00:36:15.560 expand upon
00:36:16.320 something you've
00:36:17.480 said previously
00:36:18.140 regarding I
00:36:19.500 believe you've
00:36:19.960 called it the
00:36:20.560 so-called
00:36:20.960 exception passage
00:36:22.440 in Matthew 5
00:36:23.580 32 I don't
00:36:25.520 presume to know
00:36:26.160 what bible
00:36:26.680 translation that
00:36:27.540 you might read
00:36:28.060 out of I'm
00:36:28.600 going to take
00:36:28.980 a guess that
00:36:29.540 maybe you use
00:36:30.760 the duet rhymes
00:36:31.560 but I say to
00:36:32.860 you that
00:36:33.360 whosoever shall
00:36:34.320 put away his
00:36:34.780 wife accepting
00:36:35.400 the cause of
00:36:35.940 fornication
00:36:36.600 make it her
00:36:37.720 to commit
00:36:38.120 adultery
00:36:38.660 from the
00:36:39.420 vulgate from
00:36:40.300 which that is
00:36:40.920 my understanding
00:36:41.500 translated
00:36:42.580 probably be
00:36:43.280 pronouncing these
00:36:43.840 wrongs but it's
00:36:44.500 except the
00:36:45.060 fornicationus
00:36:46.100 my point would
00:36:47.120 be it appears
00:36:48.300 that Jesus is
00:36:49.020 giving some
00:36:49.640 exception here
00:36:50.520 so I was
00:36:52.040 wondering if
00:36:52.660 that is not
00:36:53.160 because of
00:36:53.540 adultery or
00:36:54.740 fornication
00:36:55.380 what it is
00:36:56.560 that you would
00:36:56.980 view as the
00:36:57.460 exception
00:36:57.880 so thank you
00:36:59.780 for all that
00:37:00.200 you do
00:37:00.560 all you guys
00:37:01.200 and everybody
00:37:01.680 at the
00:37:01.940 daily wire
00:37:02.420 and god bless
00:37:03.640 and I look
00:37:04.460 forward to
00:37:04.780 hearing your
00:37:05.080 answer
00:37:05.340 thank you
00:37:05.940 really really
00:37:06.900 good question
00:37:07.820 so what
00:37:08.700 this refers to
00:37:09.840 is the
00:37:10.120 acceptive clause
00:37:11.100 in the gospel
00:37:12.160 of saint
00:37:12.500 matthew
00:37:12.960 where christ
00:37:14.160 says what
00:37:15.100 god has
00:37:15.420 joined let
00:37:15.800 no man
00:37:16.140 separate
00:37:16.560 yes moses
00:37:17.760 told you
00:37:18.180 divorce was
00:37:18.720 okay in
00:37:19.120 some cases
00:37:19.660 but i'm
00:37:20.080 telling you
00:37:20.460 from the
00:37:20.720 beginning
00:37:20.920 it was
00:37:21.220 not so
00:37:21.740 and when
00:37:23.260 men and
00:37:24.160 women come
00:37:24.680 together in
00:37:25.080 marriage
00:37:25.360 they become
00:37:25.860 one flesh
00:37:26.440 and they
00:37:27.060 shouldn't
00:37:27.500 separate
00:37:27.820 and in
00:37:28.500 the gospel
00:37:28.840 of saint
00:37:29.120 matthew
00:37:29.320 it says
00:37:29.560 except for
00:37:30.900 porneia
00:37:32.220 except for
00:37:32.920 fornication
00:37:33.580 or unchastity
00:37:34.360 or sometimes
00:37:35.680 it's translated
00:37:36.260 as adultery
00:37:36.840 or this that
00:37:37.320 sexual immorality
00:37:38.520 okay
00:37:38.820 in recent
00:37:41.500 centuries
00:37:42.120 some protestants
00:37:43.720 have looked
00:37:45.440 at this clause
00:37:46.140 and said okay
00:37:46.660 this means that
00:37:47.200 divorce is okay
00:37:47.820 in some circumstances
00:37:48.800 that is not
00:37:49.720 the understanding
00:37:50.220 of historical
00:37:50.800 christianity
00:37:51.560 obviously the
00:37:52.460 catholic church
00:37:52.920 or the
00:37:53.380 eastern orthodox
00:37:54.420 or some
00:37:55.780 protestants too
00:37:56.500 so the
00:37:57.480 question
00:37:57.980 that i
00:37:58.580 would begin
00:37:59.000 with here
00:37:59.440 is not
00:38:01.020 why do you
00:38:02.560 catholics
00:38:04.220 hold to
00:38:06.360 and i'm not
00:38:06.780 accusing you
00:38:07.240 of doing this
00:38:07.640 i think you're
00:38:08.000 obviously very
00:38:08.460 open-minded
00:38:08.880 on this
00:38:09.160 question
00:38:09.460 but some
00:38:09.840 people i
00:38:10.220 think
00:38:10.360 will look
00:38:10.880 at this
00:38:11.060 question
00:38:11.340 and say
00:38:11.600 haha
00:38:11.920 see there's
00:38:12.580 the exception
00:38:13.040 good
00:38:13.420 why do you
00:38:14.080 catholics
00:38:14.400 deny that
00:38:14.880 exception
00:38:15.240 or eastern
00:38:15.660 orthodox
00:38:16.140 or traditional
00:38:17.000 kind of christians
00:38:17.800 why do you
00:38:18.520 deny that
00:38:19.060 exception
00:38:19.480 see there's
00:38:20.480 my excuse
00:38:21.120 to be able
00:38:21.520 to get a
00:38:21.880 divorce
00:38:22.200 i wouldn't
00:38:23.820 look at it
00:38:24.200 that way
00:38:24.460 i would begin
00:38:25.020 with just this
00:38:25.840 question
00:38:26.240 huh
00:38:26.740 why is there
00:38:28.840 that
00:38:29.160 acceptive
00:38:29.740 clause
00:38:30.120 there
00:38:30.400 where does
00:38:31.340 that come
00:38:31.680 from
00:38:31.840 why did
00:38:32.520 christians
00:38:32.980 not think
00:38:33.480 this meant
00:38:33.860 that you
00:38:34.080 could get
00:38:34.340 divorced
00:38:34.780 for the
00:38:36.020 vast majority
00:38:36.580 of the history
00:38:36.980 of christianity
00:38:37.600 why in some
00:38:38.480 recent centuries
00:38:39.120 have people
00:38:39.580 seized upon
00:38:40.640 that where
00:38:40.940 does that
00:38:41.200 come from
00:38:41.580 when you
00:38:43.180 look at that
00:38:43.640 context
00:38:44.200 then you
00:38:44.960 have to
00:38:45.140 look at
00:38:45.320 the other
00:38:45.540 gospels
00:38:45.960 too
00:38:46.200 there are
00:38:47.220 parallel
00:38:47.540 passages
00:38:48.000 in the
00:38:48.540 gospel
00:38:48.880 of saint
00:38:49.240 mark
00:38:49.440 and the
00:38:49.640 gospel
00:38:49.860 of saint
00:38:50.180 luke
00:38:50.460 and yet
00:38:51.180 those other
00:38:52.420 gospels
00:38:53.020 do not
00:38:53.760 include the
00:38:54.340 acceptive
00:38:54.740 clause
00:38:55.120 just says
00:38:55.700 what god
00:38:55.980 has joined
00:38:56.360 let no
00:38:56.740 man separate
00:38:57.260 okay
00:38:57.780 in the
00:38:58.840 writing of
00:38:59.360 saint paul
00:38:59.860 in the
00:39:00.080 epistles
00:39:00.500 first corinthians
00:39:01.800 and letter
00:39:02.440 to the
00:39:02.740 romans
00:39:03.240 you don't
00:39:04.580 see this
00:39:04.980 acceptive
00:39:05.460 clause
00:39:05.840 just says
00:39:06.280 no you
00:39:06.580 can't get
00:39:06.940 divorced
00:39:07.460 don't
00:39:08.900 don't put
00:39:09.260 away your
00:39:09.620 wife
00:39:09.900 don't do
00:39:10.420 it
00:39:10.540 don't split
00:39:11.020 up
00:39:11.260 so why
00:39:12.120 is it
00:39:12.380 just here
00:39:12.840 in the
00:39:13.060 gospel
00:39:13.360 of saint
00:39:13.740 matthew
00:39:14.160 i don't
00:39:15.260 know for
00:39:15.640 sure
00:39:15.920 no one
00:39:16.320 really knows
00:39:16.760 for sure
00:39:17.240 but some
00:39:18.320 explanations
00:39:18.780 for that
00:39:19.260 have been
00:39:19.740 that saint
00:39:20.320 matthew
00:39:20.620 is writing
00:39:21.020 for a
00:39:22.260 primarily
00:39:23.540 jewish
00:39:24.080 audience
00:39:24.600 mark and
00:39:26.420 luke
00:39:26.680 writing for
00:39:27.280 the broader
00:39:27.900 greco-roman
00:39:28.660 world
00:39:29.160 and you
00:39:30.840 might think
00:39:31.140 this is even
00:39:31.500 stranger
00:39:31.820 because those
00:39:32.300 pagans are a
00:39:33.320 little bit
00:39:33.620 looser about
00:39:34.220 sexual things
00:39:34.900 so why
00:39:35.620 would this
00:39:35.960 not include
00:39:36.380 the
00:39:36.500 acceptive
00:39:36.860 clause
00:39:37.120 here
00:39:37.360 and one
00:39:38.120 explanation
00:39:38.640 that seems
00:39:39.280 at least
00:39:40.340 plausible
00:39:40.880 if not
00:39:41.240 likely to
00:39:41.700 me
00:39:41.920 is that
00:39:42.780 the reason
00:39:43.500 here
00:39:43.880 in saint
00:39:45.220 matthew
00:39:45.560 is that
00:39:46.300 it gets
00:39:46.620 to a
00:39:46.880 controversy
00:39:47.380 between
00:39:47.720 the school
00:39:48.020 of hillel
00:39:48.540 and i forget
00:39:49.100 the name
00:39:49.360 of the
00:39:49.540 other
00:39:49.680 school
00:39:49.980 in ancient
00:39:51.700 judaism
00:39:52.240 which is
00:39:53.100 over exactly
00:39:54.640 what the
00:39:55.240 grounds for
00:39:55.760 divorce could
00:39:56.300 be and so
00:39:57.000 the acceptive
00:39:57.620 clause would
00:39:58.460 be a way
00:39:58.860 to sidestep
00:39:59.780 this controversy
00:40:00.580 whether divorce
00:40:01.180 was okay
00:40:01.480 in all cases
00:40:01.960 or only okay
00:40:02.860 in the case
00:40:03.580 of fornication
00:40:04.220 to say
00:40:04.520 okay i'm
00:40:05.260 putting that
00:40:05.760 question aside
00:40:06.400 for a second
00:40:06.860 here and
00:40:07.420 telling you
00:40:07.980 about what
00:40:08.880 marriage is
00:40:09.460 broadly
00:40:09.900 that's one
00:40:10.700 explanation
00:40:11.280 for it
00:40:11.840 another
00:40:12.200 explanation
00:40:12.720 for it
00:40:13.120 could be
00:40:13.460 that the
00:40:14.300 gospel of
00:40:14.800 saint matthew
00:40:15.140 is writing
00:40:15.780 for this
00:40:16.100 audience
00:40:16.440 that would
00:40:17.060 have understood
00:40:17.640 matters of
00:40:19.900 marriage
00:40:20.580 in this
00:40:21.280 particular way
00:40:21.920 with this
00:40:22.260 particular
00:40:22.600 kind of
00:40:23.360 language
00:40:23.800 and then
00:40:25.680 more broadly
00:40:26.540 and i think
00:40:26.880 this applies
00:40:27.400 especially today
00:40:28.280 and has been
00:40:29.020 understood by
00:40:29.720 christianity for
00:40:30.540 2000 years
00:40:31.140 is that
00:40:31.980 it is making
00:40:33.500 clear that
00:40:34.680 a marriage
00:40:35.380 is only a
00:40:35.940 marriage if
00:40:36.500 it's valid
00:40:37.080 so there
00:40:38.420 is
00:40:38.900 unchastity
00:40:41.580 porneia
00:40:42.380 adultery
00:40:44.740 that will
00:40:46.200 render a
00:40:47.620 marriage
00:40:47.940 null
00:40:48.400 because
00:40:48.980 the
00:40:49.680 marriage
00:40:49.980 couldn't
00:40:50.260 have been
00:40:50.600 valid
00:40:51.040 in the
00:40:51.220 first
00:40:51.360 place
00:40:51.540 namely
00:40:51.860 if
00:40:52.140 someone
00:40:52.320 is
00:40:52.440 already
00:40:52.680 married
00:40:53.120 and
00:40:53.680 then
00:40:53.840 marries
00:40:54.260 again
00:40:54.740 can that
00:40:56.740 husband
00:40:57.820 and second
00:40:58.420 wife
00:40:58.680 split up
00:40:59.160 well yes
00:40:59.480 but they
00:40:59.700 weren't
00:40:59.980 validly
00:41:00.900 married
00:41:01.180 in the
00:41:01.380 first
00:41:01.540 place
00:41:01.700 and you
00:41:01.940 see this
00:41:02.400 happen
00:41:02.760 often
00:41:03.980 in the
00:41:04.260 modern
00:41:04.460 world
00:41:04.760 actually
00:41:05.180 that
00:41:05.500 someone
00:41:05.880 could be
00:41:06.360 secretly
00:41:06.720 hiding
00:41:07.060 a wife
00:41:07.360 or something
00:41:07.640 like that
00:41:08.020 or could
00:41:08.240 have
00:41:08.400 withheld
00:41:08.940 something
00:41:09.260 from the
00:41:09.560 spouse
00:41:09.820 before marriage
00:41:10.440 that would
00:41:10.720 have rendered
00:41:11.060 the marriage
00:41:11.580 null
00:41:12.300 so when
00:41:13.320 Christ says
00:41:14.020 in the
00:41:14.180 gospel of
00:41:14.520 saint
00:41:14.640 matthew
00:41:14.880 any man
00:41:15.480 who divorces
00:41:16.760 his wife
00:41:17.260 except for
00:41:18.260 adultery
00:41:18.760 or except for
00:41:19.200 fornication
00:41:19.660 or porneia
00:41:20.160 makes his
00:41:22.380 wife an
00:41:23.120 adulteress
00:41:23.760 that that is
00:41:25.180 literally true
00:41:26.000 because what
00:41:26.760 we're saying
00:41:27.200 what our
00:41:28.240 lord would be
00:41:28.640 saying is
00:41:29.560 she's already
00:41:31.380 an adulteress
00:41:32.020 or you're
00:41:32.460 already an
00:41:32.920 adultery
00:41:33.300 you're already
00:41:33.760 committing
00:41:34.200 adultery
00:41:34.760 in this case
00:41:36.280 so it's
00:41:36.980 very precise
00:41:38.060 technical
00:41:38.640 language
00:41:38.960 those are
00:41:39.820 I don't know
00:41:40.160 that's like
00:41:40.480 three
00:41:40.880 possible
00:41:42.040 explanations
00:41:42.600 for it
00:41:43.180 but this
00:41:44.760 isn't just
00:41:45.140 a way
00:41:45.360 to kind
00:41:45.600 of weasel
00:41:46.000 out of
00:41:46.240 the question
00:41:46.640 or anything
00:41:47.000 like that
00:41:47.640 I think
00:41:48.540 that the
00:41:48.840 people who
00:41:49.380 defend the
00:41:50.060 acceptive
00:41:50.460 clause
00:41:50.720 one have
00:41:51.180 to explain
00:41:51.580 why it
00:41:52.460 wasn't
00:41:52.840 accepted
00:41:53.260 for well
00:41:54.980 over a
00:41:55.320 millennium
00:41:55.800 you know
00:41:56.160 for many
00:41:57.020 centuries
00:41:57.340 after a
00:41:57.720 millennium
00:41:57.980 but then
00:41:58.500 also I
00:41:58.940 think they
00:41:59.140 have to
00:41:59.340 explain
00:41:59.700 the parallel
00:42:00.720 passage
00:42:01.080 in Mark
00:42:01.560 the parallel
00:42:02.200 passage
00:42:02.560 in Luke
00:42:03.060 first
00:42:03.660 Corinthians
00:42:04.140 and Romans
00:42:05.360 I think
00:42:05.800 they have
00:42:06.040 to explain
00:42:06.360 the overwhelming
00:42:07.520 majority
00:42:08.160 of the
00:42:08.800 evidence
00:42:09.140 in the
00:42:09.540 scripture
00:42:09.820 which say
00:42:10.980 which says
00:42:12.100 that divorce
00:42:12.560 is no bueno
00:42:13.760 and I think
00:42:14.360 that the
00:42:14.600 traditional
00:42:14.880 explanation
00:42:15.320 is just
00:42:15.660 more persuasive
00:42:16.240 okay next
00:42:16.740 one
00:42:16.980 hey smoky
00:42:18.600 mike it's
00:42:19.180 daily
00:42:19.440 grinch
00:42:19.860 here
00:42:20.160 with a
00:42:20.920 quick
00:42:21.100 question
00:42:21.540 for you
00:42:22.020 about our
00:42:22.500 second
00:42:22.800 amendment
00:42:23.180 rights
00:42:23.760 so according
00:42:24.880 to the
00:42:25.240 second
00:42:25.440 amendment
00:42:25.840 we have
00:42:26.900 the right
00:42:27.280 to a
00:42:27.660 well-regulated
00:42:28.320 militia
00:42:28.860 being necessary
00:42:29.720 to the
00:42:30.120 security
00:42:30.520 of a
00:42:30.860 free
00:42:31.080 state
00:42:31.560 and the
00:42:32.500 right
00:42:32.680 of the
00:42:32.880 people
00:42:33.060 to keep
00:42:33.420 and bear
00:42:33.780 arms
00:42:34.180 shall not
00:42:34.620 be
00:42:34.780 infringed
00:42:35.480 so regarding
00:42:37.020 the second
00:42:37.460 amendment
00:42:37.860 my question
00:42:39.520 is how
00:42:40.160 do states
00:42:40.900 believe
00:42:41.360 that they
00:42:41.800 can
00:42:42.120 infringe
00:42:42.740 upon
00:42:43.180 our
00:42:43.860 rights
00:42:44.260 and make
00:42:44.940 gun laws
00:42:46.060 restricting
00:42:47.160 those rights
00:42:48.120 when in
00:42:49.360 article 6
00:42:50.360 paragraph 2
00:42:51.300 of the
00:42:51.660 constitution
00:42:52.340 that establishes
00:42:54.860 the supremacy
00:42:55.420 clause
00:42:55.980 which says
00:42:56.640 federal laws
00:42:58.260 and amendments
00:42:58.960 take precedence
00:43:00.060 over the
00:43:00.500 state laws
00:43:01.200 i just
00:43:03.600 don't see
00:43:04.040 how states
00:43:04.700 believe that
00:43:05.400 they can
00:43:05.860 infringe
00:43:06.640 upon
00:43:07.040 our
00:43:07.460 second
00:43:07.700 amendment
00:43:07.960 rights
00:43:08.360 and make
00:43:08.800 these
00:43:09.140 just
00:43:09.880 outrageous
00:43:10.620 laws
00:43:11.220 restricting
00:43:11.800 our gun
00:43:12.360 ownership
00:43:12.780 love to hear
00:43:13.920 your answer
00:43:14.420 because we're
00:43:15.760 not governed
00:43:16.300 by an old
00:43:16.860 piece of
00:43:17.260 parchment
00:43:17.660 is the
00:43:18.620 problem
00:43:19.940 but just
00:43:21.000 the reality
00:43:21.660 and no
00:43:22.220 state
00:43:22.500 really is
00:43:23.220 so
00:43:24.360 that old
00:43:25.480 piece of
00:43:25.860 parchment
00:43:26.200 has to
00:43:26.780 be embodied
00:43:27.540 and institutionalized
00:43:28.900 in
00:43:29.420 tradition
00:43:31.300 and in
00:43:32.620 state law
00:43:33.980 and in
00:43:34.600 institutions
00:43:35.420 and in
00:43:35.920 practices
00:43:36.360 and so
00:43:37.280 that creates
00:43:37.780 a disconnect
00:43:38.300 between the
00:43:38.980 capital C
00:43:39.440 constitution
00:43:40.020 which supposedly
00:43:41.400 governs our
00:43:41.880 country
00:43:42.140 and the
00:43:42.460 lowercase c
00:43:43.040 constitution
00:43:43.460 that we
00:43:43.900 embody
00:43:44.220 every single
00:43:44.800 day
00:43:45.100 and the
00:43:46.140 lowercase
00:43:46.500 c
00:43:46.640 constitution
00:43:47.200 in many
00:43:48.620 ways
00:43:48.880 violates
00:43:49.360 the
00:43:49.500 capital
00:43:49.760 c
00:43:49.980 constitution
00:43:50.420 and we've
00:43:51.060 just all
00:43:51.500 kind of
00:43:51.820 accommodated
00:43:52.320 that
00:43:52.500 because
00:43:52.720 that's
00:43:52.940 the way
00:43:53.140 governments
00:43:53.620 go
00:43:53.980 so
00:43:54.520 why do
00:43:54.820 they do
00:43:55.040 it
00:43:55.160 because
00:43:55.440 they can
00:43:55.940 and we
00:43:56.220 can complain
00:43:56.680 about it
00:43:57.120 but that's
00:43:57.620 the way
00:43:57.860 that states
00:43:58.780 have always
00:43:59.180 acted
00:43:59.480 and so
00:44:00.120 it's
00:44:00.700 incumbent
00:44:01.160 upon us
00:44:01.860 to just
00:44:02.900 try to
00:44:03.440 fix
00:44:04.460 the
00:44:04.660 lowercase
00:44:05.040 c
00:44:05.160 constitution
00:44:05.700 one
00:44:06.780 to bring
00:44:07.160 it
00:44:07.320 in
00:44:07.520 closer
00:44:07.740 alignment
00:44:08.100 with
00:44:08.280 the
00:44:08.380 capital
00:44:08.600 c
00:44:08.820 constitution
00:44:09.360 and
00:44:09.880 two
00:44:10.280 more
00:44:10.520 broadly
00:44:10.860 just
00:44:11.120 to make
00:44:11.500 it
00:44:11.700 better
00:44:12.600 and more
00:44:13.140 conducive
00:44:13.760 to flourishing
00:44:14.220 okay next
00:44:14.720 question
00:44:15.060 hey michael

00:44:32.400 i could just
00:44:33.100 marry a woman
00:44:33.760 but i'm not
00:44:34.980 so i don't
00:44:35.740 want to do
00:44:36.100 that to some
00:44:36.840 poor lady
00:44:37.480 who deserves
00:44:38.620 someone who's
00:44:39.120 attracted to
00:44:39.700 her
00:44:39.860 so my
00:44:40.680 question for
00:44:41.240 you is
00:44:41.840 how can i
00:44:42.540 live a
00:44:43.160 fulfilling and
00:44:43.900 meaningful life
00:44:44.760 knowing that
00:44:45.900 i will never
00:44:46.740 have a marriage
00:44:48.080 and i'll never
00:44:48.820 start a family
00:44:49.640 of my own
00:44:50.220 thanks again
00:44:51.300 really good
00:44:52.940 question
00:44:53.400 sorry that you're
00:44:54.420 dealing with this
00:44:55.140 difficulty
00:44:55.720 many people are
00:44:56.440 dealing with it
00:44:56.920 though and you
00:44:57.400 seem to have a
00:44:58.100 good head on
00:44:58.600 your shoulders
00:44:59.020 and you're
00:44:59.520 you know
00:44:59.820 really viewing
00:45:00.360 this through
00:45:01.120 your reason
00:45:01.680 and trying to
00:45:02.520 to bring your
00:45:03.520 will in accord
00:45:04.020 with your reason
00:45:04.520 i wouldn't
00:45:06.200 totally write off
00:45:06.920 marriage
00:45:07.400 in that i
00:45:08.020 i agree it
00:45:09.200 would be wrong
00:45:09.640 to deceive a woman
00:45:10.520 and pretend you're
00:45:11.240 really attracted to her
00:45:12.120 when in fact you're
00:45:13.060 not
00:45:13.340 but if you could be
00:45:14.420 somewhat honest about
00:45:15.280 this issue and you
00:45:15.940 say look i have this
00:45:17.620 issue of sexual
00:45:19.300 attraction but life
00:45:21.700 is about more than
00:45:22.320 physical attraction and
00:45:23.440 i want a family and i
00:45:24.340 want to live a more
00:45:24.860 traditional life and i
00:45:25.720 want kids and all the
00:45:26.680 rest of it and could
00:45:29.340 you accept me you know
00:45:30.460 to a woman i don't
00:45:31.460 know maybe a woman
00:45:32.080 could do that i it'd be
00:45:33.760 a hard sell there's no
00:45:34.720 question about it but
00:45:35.560 but maybe you could do
00:45:36.260 that and then two on
00:45:39.080 this issue you're jewish
00:45:41.060 so i can't i can't
00:45:42.380 give you a really
00:45:44.660 sophisticated religious
00:45:46.420 advice here because i
00:45:47.140 just don't i don't know
00:45:48.620 really how this works in
00:45:49.700 judaism but the christian
00:45:53.040 view of things is that
00:45:54.000 you don't need to get
00:45:55.200 married to have a totally
00:45:57.280 fulfilling life and that
00:45:59.140 you can you can
00:46:00.740 consecrate yourself in
00:46:02.200 your singlehood to god
00:46:04.140 and people can do that in
00:46:05.820 religious life you know
00:46:06.840 you could become a nun or a
00:46:08.300 priest or a brother or
00:46:09.140 something like that and
00:46:10.160 say look i maybe i'm not
00:46:11.940 attracted to women but i i'm
00:46:13.780 going to be a celibate and
00:46:14.900 i'm just i'm going to
00:46:16.860 sublimate my desires
00:46:18.420 straight to god who's the
00:46:19.700 source and summon of all of
00:46:20.460 our desire or you don't
00:46:22.100 need to join a religious
00:46:22.900 order you could just
00:46:23.620 consecrate your singlehood
00:46:24.820 and say okay i'm going to
00:46:25.400 live a single life one
00:46:26.340 thing i would recommend
00:46:27.000 though is i would
00:46:30.080 recommend that i would
00:46:30.940 recommend obviously
00:46:31.880 grounding all of your
00:46:32.960 desire and purpose in
00:46:36.360 god i would also
00:46:37.820 recommend being very
00:46:38.900 involved in your
00:46:39.980 community you know you
00:46:41.080 we live in an age in
00:46:42.860 which people are all
00:46:45.900 feeling isolated and
00:46:47.400 alienated from society and
00:46:48.960 community has broken down
00:46:50.200 and this is bad for
00:46:51.760 everybody but it's
00:46:52.680 especially bad for people
00:46:53.720 who are not going to get
00:46:55.160 married who are not going
00:46:56.040 to have kids who are
00:46:56.820 and it's especially bad
00:46:57.640 for people who don't fit
00:46:59.720 into this very cookie
00:47:02.040 cutter kind of idea of what
00:47:03.920 life is that has taken
00:47:05.120 hold especially in
00:47:05.840 modernity so i'd
00:47:07.500 recommend you know
00:47:08.460 you're a political
00:47:09.460 animal you're a social
00:47:10.160 animal you've got to be
00:47:12.020 around people even if
00:47:13.060 that means you're not
00:47:14.240 around a wife but i think
00:47:15.500 you have multiple options
00:47:16.540 available to you and
00:47:17.460 and the modern left wants
00:47:18.600 to say that well if you
00:47:19.460 don't just pursue all of
00:47:21.000 your sexual desires you
00:47:22.500 know whatever they may be
00:47:23.660 and however they may change
00:47:24.880 then you're going to live a
00:47:26.280 terrible life of
00:47:27.060 repression and sadness
00:47:28.060 but that that obviously is
00:47:29.800 not true and i think that
00:47:31.340 you're more likely to live a
00:47:32.780 life of sadness if you if
00:47:35.060 you don't follow your
00:47:36.120 reason you know some
00:47:37.180 people through their
00:47:38.420 reason will conclude well
00:47:39.580 this uh heterodox thing
00:47:41.360 that i want to do is um
00:47:43.420 is is acceptable and and
00:47:45.140 good and they're probably
00:47:45.840 probably wrong about that
00:47:46.900 but at least you know
00:47:47.460 they're honestly following
00:47:48.220 their lights uh but but
00:47:50.900 you're a little different
00:47:51.580 you're saying no this is
00:47:52.300 how i want to behave and
00:47:53.740 how i how i want to live
00:47:55.000 and my appetites are
00:47:57.360 telling me differently well
00:47:58.260 okay pursue the reason
00:47:59.400 because the reason is
00:48:00.020 supposed to mediate between
00:48:00.900 the lower will and the
00:48:01.760 divine reason okay it's
