Summary

Democrat Congressman Jamal Bowman has been indicted for falsely pulling a fire alarm at the U.S. Capitol. The charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail, which Bowman will never serve because, actually, here s the best part, he is pleading guilty and therefore he is just paying a fine and apologizing.

00:00:30.300 There's a story I wanted to get to yesterday that I do not want to skip over
00:00:34.260 amid the more pressing and depressing news.
00:00:37.560 It is a news story, more shocking than anything we have seen,
00:00:41.140 even in the tumultuous recent weeks.
00:00:44.080 A Democrat has been held accountable for his crimes.
00:00:48.600 Sort of, at least a little bit.
00:00:50.740 Democrat Congressman Jamal Bowman, who last March called me a Nazi hell-bent
00:00:56.080 on keeping only white men alive and in power,
00:00:58.240 has been indicted for falsely pulling a fire alarm at the U.S. Capitol.
00:01:04.040 He was ordered to report to Capitol Police headquarters yesterday to be booked,
00:01:07.960 fingerprinted, photographed, and processed.
00:01:10.020 And the charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail,
00:01:14.280 which Bowman will never serve because, actually, here's the best part.
00:01:19.180 He's pleading guilty.
00:01:20.520 And therefore, he's just paying a fine and apologizing.
00:01:24.320 While it might be fun to send him to jail,
00:01:27.860 I'm actually more satisfied by the guilty plea.
00:01:30.900 Because the guilty plea proves that Congressman Bowman,
00:01:35.340 who initially denied the crime,
00:01:38.080 is, in fact, a shameless liar.
00:01:40.540 Did I mention he called me a Nazi back in March?
00:01:42.960 Yeah, he admitted to being a big, fat liar.
00:01:46.560 Also, it proves that the Democrats who defended him
00:01:49.360 are either dupes or shameless hacks.
00:01:52.440 Here is AOC.
00:01:53.880 There he is pulling the fire alarm.
00:01:56.320 He says it was an accident.
00:01:57.380 He thought pulling the alarm would open a door
00:01:59.680 based on the fact that the doors to his right there were locked.
00:02:03.280 And there was a sign that he said he was,
00:02:04.840 I think someone said it was confusing.
00:02:07.240 I'll be honest,
00:02:08.420 that doesn't really make sense to me, his explanation.
00:02:11.560 Have you talked to him?
00:02:13.520 What's going on?
00:02:14.360 I mean, listen, I think if you actually do see
00:02:16.300 some of the photos of the signs,
00:02:17.600 I think there's something to be said
00:02:20.040 about the government's about to shut down.
00:02:22.260 There's a vote clock that's going down.
00:02:24.380 The exits that are normally open in that building
00:02:27.060 were suddenly closed.
00:02:28.900 So you pulled a fire alarm?
00:02:30.440 So what I am here to say is that
00:02:33.400 House Administration and U.S. Capitol Police
00:02:36.620 and Jamal Bowman are inactive,
00:02:39.040 and he's fully participating in saying
00:02:40.980 there was a misunderstanding.
00:02:42.040 But what I do think is important to raise
00:02:43.940 is the fact that Republicans,
00:02:47.100 representatives like Nicole Malliotakis and others,
00:02:49.800 immediately moved to file motions to censure,
00:02:53.640 motions to expel,
00:02:55.140 before there has even been conversations
00:02:57.700 that are finished to even see
00:02:59.620 if there was a misunderstanding here.
00:03:01.780 AOC, to her credit,
00:03:03.180 at least seemed half-hearted
00:03:04.940 in her defense of the indefensible Bowman.
00:03:07.460 The liberal ladies of The View, on the other hand,
00:03:10.320 seemed intent on mounting a serious defense.
00:03:13.620 I don't want to call it a stunt yet.
00:03:15.980 There's going to be an investigation.
00:03:17.500 I know Jamal.
00:03:19.160 And so, again, I'm a little biased.
00:03:21.320 But the doors that are normally open
00:03:23.340 so that he could get to the chambers to read
00:03:25.100 were somehow miraculously closed.
00:03:27.360 How did that happen?
00:03:28.380 And so, yes, sometimes you're freaking out
00:03:30.180 and you're in an elevator
00:03:30.980 and you're pressing all the buttons.
00:03:32.220 As you were saying,
00:03:33.100 it goes to them not having the time.
00:03:35.780 It is quite possible
00:03:37.040 that he was trying to get there.
00:03:38.480 And panicked.
00:03:38.780 And the door, not panicked,
00:03:40.460 but, you know,
00:03:41.040 if you're not looking
00:03:42.580 because there's a door that's normally open,
00:03:45.460 you just go and you press a button.
00:03:48.120 You know, it has been...
00:03:48.720 Not the fire alarm button.
00:03:49.620 Like, I'm so scared of that button.
00:03:50.920 I don't know because I don't know what it...
00:03:52.900 I haven't seen the fire alarm button,
00:03:54.800 so I don't know.
00:03:55.640 And there was a, like, fire exit only sign.
00:03:59.180 It was active.
00:03:59.820 No, because you have to break glass
00:04:02.080 to press the...
00:04:03.000 to get to the button.
00:04:04.140 So I don't know.
00:04:05.400 I don't know.
00:04:05.760 It seems pretty fire alarm-y to me.
00:04:07.300 I don't know.
00:04:07.820 It just looks like a button.
00:04:08.820 I can't see the button.
00:04:10.520 Yeah, the fire alarm
00:04:11.580 looked pretty clear to Bowman, at least,
00:04:13.860 because Bowman pulled it
00:04:14.920 to obstruct an official
00:04:16.580 congressional procedure,
00:04:18.560 a crime for which
00:04:19.780 Midwestern grannies have been
00:04:21.720 sent to rot in solitary confinement.
00:04:23.780 The guilty plea is a good start.
00:04:26.320 Now it's time for newly empowered
00:04:28.340 House Republicans
00:04:29.140 at least to censure Mr. Bowman.
00:04:32.460 At least, and better still,
00:04:34.940 to boot him out of Congress.
00:04:36.900 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:04:37.680 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:04:38.600 Welcome back to the show.
00:04:58.840 A young lady has gone viral
00:05:00.480 for whining about her 9-to-5 job,
00:05:02.540 and everyone's making fun of her,
00:05:03.960 especially all the conservative pundits.
00:05:05.560 And I'm kind of on her side, actually.
00:05:09.880 We'll get, kind of.
00:05:10.820 We'll get to it in a second.
00:05:11.940 First, though, speaking of that
00:05:13.100 newly empowered
00:05:13.860 House Republican caucus,
00:05:16.520 the new Republican
00:05:18.140 Speaker of the House,
00:05:19.160 Mike Johnson,
00:05:21.120 the hits just keep on coming.
00:05:22.500 This guy opened up
00:05:23.780 his tenure as Speaker
00:05:25.340 by speaking directly
00:05:28.860 and explicitly about God.
00:05:30.680 I want to tell all my colleagues here
00:05:33.240 what I told the Republicans
00:05:34.680 in that room last night.
00:05:36.640 I don't believe there are any
00:05:38.000 coincidences in a matter like this.
00:05:39.980 I believe that Scripture,
00:05:41.780 the Bible,
00:05:42.600 is very clear
00:05:43.720 that God is the one
00:05:45.700 that raises up those in authority.
00:05:46.960 He raised up each of you,
00:05:48.320 all of us.
00:05:49.500 And I believe that God has ordained
00:05:51.040 and allowed each one of us
00:05:52.000 to be brought here
00:05:52.580 for this specific moment
00:05:53.820 in this time.
00:05:55.000 This is my belief.
00:05:56.300 I believe that each one of us
00:05:57.640 has a huge responsibility today
00:05:59.620 to use the gifts
00:06:00.880 that God has given us
00:06:01.780 to serve the extraordinary people
00:06:03.220 of this great country,
00:06:04.120 and they deserve it.
00:06:05.520 Beautifully put,
00:06:06.600 for the Christian,
00:06:07.540 there is no such thing
00:06:08.600 as a mere coincidence.
00:06:10.780 For a Christian,
00:06:12.020 the world is rich
00:06:13.660 and teeming with symbols.
00:06:16.080 For a Christian,
00:06:17.340 history has meaning.
00:06:18.660 For a Christian,
00:06:19.160 God enters into history,
00:06:21.200 not only directs history
00:06:22.740 from far away,
00:06:23.500 but actually enters into history
00:06:24.940 and becomes the very pivot
00:06:26.420 of history.
00:06:28.140 And everything has its purpose.
00:06:31.920 And God knows every hair
00:06:33.620 on your head
00:06:34.240 before you're born.
00:06:36.100 And there is no such thing
00:06:37.120 as a mere coincidence.
00:06:39.000 That's really, really important.
00:06:40.140 All nature is but art
00:06:41.060 unknown to thee,
00:06:41.760 all chance, direction,
00:06:42.800 which thou canst not see.
00:06:44.460 We are called to act in the world.
00:06:46.460 We are called also to interpret.
00:06:47.640 Our Lord says that
00:06:49.500 a wicked generation
00:06:51.020 seeks after signs and wonders,
00:06:52.440 and to that generation,
00:06:53.240 no sign shall be given
00:06:54.840 none but the sign of Jonah,
00:06:56.360 which is the sign of a man
00:06:59.060 in the belly of the whale
00:07:00.080 for three days.
00:07:01.280 And it's the very sign
00:07:02.160 of our Lord's resurrection
00:07:03.060 and the meaning of history
00:07:04.040 in the bowels of hell,
00:07:06.440 harrowing hell,
00:07:08.380 resurrected on the third day.
00:07:10.620 All of this coming
00:07:11.600 from the speaker's chair
00:07:12.620 is likely to rankle
00:07:15.200 some feathers
00:07:15.800 of the more secular set.
00:07:17.980 But this is my favorite part
00:07:19.120 about the whole thing.
00:07:19.840 Because what Mike Johnson
00:07:22.120 said there
00:07:22.780 would have been
00:07:23.620 totally normal.
00:07:25.020 No one would have
00:07:25.600 batted an eyelash
00:07:26.760 for the first 230 years
00:07:29.860 of our nation's history
00:07:30.900 for a speaker of the house
00:07:32.120 to invoke God directly
00:07:33.960 and to point out
00:07:34.840 that history has meaning
00:07:35.920 and that we're here
00:07:36.500 for a purpose
00:07:37.260 and to point out
00:07:39.320 the symbols
00:07:40.980 that exist
00:07:42.760 in all of our daily lives.
00:07:45.180 That would have been
00:07:45.960 totally normal.
00:07:46.720 You heard all of this
00:07:47.520 kind of God talk
00:07:48.820 for all of our nation's history
00:07:50.040 until starting
00:07:51.680 in the middle
00:07:52.060 of the 20th century,
00:07:53.520 the atheists
00:07:54.340 and the secularists
00:07:55.160 started to creep in
00:07:56.100 and tried to pretend
00:07:57.240 that somehow
00:07:57.780 the First Amendment
00:07:58.580 banishes God
00:07:59.460 from public life.
00:08:00.280 Of course,
00:08:00.800 nothing could be further
00:08:01.760 from the truth.
00:08:03.280 And it's really important
00:08:04.140 for Mike Johnson
00:08:04.720 to speak this way
00:08:05.380 because not only
00:08:06.260 do the liberals
00:08:06.820 want to banish God
00:08:07.680 from public life,
00:08:08.420 but there are a lot
00:08:09.120 of fashionable conservatives
00:08:10.820 who think that
00:08:12.940 it's kind of low class.
00:08:14.640 It's kind of,
00:08:15.000 it doesn't,
00:08:16.140 it's just kind of
00:08:16.840 deplorable and irredeemable
00:08:17.900 and icky to talk about God.
00:08:19.080 We need to speak,
00:08:20.100 look,
00:08:20.340 we need to make
00:08:20.840 our arguments
00:08:21.540 in secular terms.
00:08:24.220 We need,
00:08:24.600 we're,
00:08:24.920 we got to cut it out
00:08:25.680 with the God talk.
00:08:26.380 We might believe in God
00:08:27.140 in our own private lives
00:08:28.100 in the recesses
00:08:28.940 of our mind,
00:08:29.400 but we got to,
00:08:30.160 we got to make
00:08:30.820 our arguments
00:08:31.340 in secular terms.
00:08:34.000 Why?
00:08:34.520 To appease the left,
00:08:35.440 which is wrong
00:08:35.900 about virtually everything.
00:08:37.520 Why would we do that?
00:08:38.580 I hear this.
00:08:39.280 I hear this from
00:08:40.040 self-styled conservatives
00:08:41.380 all the time.
00:08:42.080 Look,
00:08:42.420 I'm going to make
00:08:42.940 my arguments
00:08:43.860 for X or Y
00:08:46.280 policy issue
00:08:47.240 in secular terms.
00:08:49.640 Why?
00:08:50.120 Why would you do that?
00:08:51.080 If you make your arguments
00:08:52.020 in terms that deny
00:08:53.320 the existence of God,
00:08:54.480 you're probably going
00:08:55.380 to go wrong
00:08:56.040 because that's
00:08:57.040 the first principle,
00:08:58.100 man.
00:08:58.300 That's the,
00:08:58.680 that's the most basic
00:08:59.660 question that there is.
00:09:00.920 And if you get
00:09:01.520 the most basic question
00:09:02.520 wrong,
00:09:02.880 you're probably going
00:09:03.780 to go pretty,
00:09:04.320 pretty far off the rails
00:09:05.520 pretty quickly.
00:09:06.500 I love
00:09:07.580 that what we're seeing
00:09:09.120 here with Mike Johnson,
00:09:09.940 which seems so radical,
00:09:11.420 he seems like
00:09:12.320 the most rock-ribbed
00:09:13.380 hardcore conservative
00:09:14.440 ever to sit
00:09:15.380 in the speaker's chair.
00:09:17.160 And in recent years,
00:09:19.460 I guess he is.
00:09:20.980 But what he represents
00:09:22.180 is a return
00:09:23.300 to normal.
00:09:24.780 What he represents
00:09:25.420 is a return
00:09:26.340 to sanity
00:09:27.640 that has typified
00:09:29.520 the American government
00:09:31.360 for most of our nation's history,
00:09:32.920 that has typified
00:09:33.480 Western governments broadly
00:09:34.780 for most of our history.
00:09:36.440 But these days
00:09:37.420 in our absurd times
00:09:39.300 seems bizarre,
00:09:41.920 seems very unusual.
00:09:43.420 The other strong evidence
00:09:44.760 that this guy
00:09:46.140 knows what he's doing
00:09:46.880 is a picture
00:09:47.920 from Speaker Johnson's youth
00:09:49.740 where he's standing,
00:09:51.280 I suppose that's his wife,
00:09:53.340 and they're taking
00:09:54.480 a picture together.
00:09:55.340 And you may have
00:09:56.000 seen a meme
00:09:57.200 going around
00:09:57.860 that measures
00:09:58.880 a man's virility
00:10:00.120 and masculinity
00:10:01.080 by whether or not
00:10:03.020 he is standing up straight
00:10:04.720 while the woman
00:10:07.040 in the picture,
00:10:07.760 or I guess even
00:10:08.220 the man in the picture,
00:10:08.860 is leaning into him.
00:10:10.800 Whoever is leaning
00:10:11.940 the most
00:10:12.840 is the subservient person
00:10:16.160 in the relationship.
00:10:17.260 And whoever
00:10:17.620 is standing up
00:10:19.220 the straightest,
00:10:20.300 whoever is most
00:10:21.640 in composure of himself,
00:10:23.200 that would be
00:10:23.960 the alpha
00:10:25.200 in the relationship.
00:10:26.260 This, according
00:10:26.780 to the internet.
00:10:27.800 And there's this picture
00:10:28.560 where Mike Johnson
00:10:30.620 taking a photo
00:10:32.000 with this beautiful lady
00:10:33.000 who I assume
00:10:33.460 to be his wife,
00:10:34.520 and she is totally
00:10:35.440 leaning in
00:10:36.000 to Mike Johnson.
00:10:36.720 Mike Johnson
00:10:37.060 not only standing up straight,
00:10:37.920 he's actually
00:10:38.620 leaning back
00:10:39.160 a little bit.
00:10:40.560 This is a degree
00:10:41.980 of sigma chattity.
00:10:44.300 This is a degree
00:10:45.380 of virility.
00:10:47.400 Heretofore unknown
00:10:48.180 to scientists.
00:10:49.220 And it, to me,
00:10:51.000 augurs well
00:10:51.700 of what will come
00:10:53.000 in his speakership.
00:10:54.860 And we've got to talk
00:10:55.440 about these important issues.

00:11:01.140 Pure Talk recently
00:11:01.960 announced that they
00:11:03.180 would alleviate
00:11:03.600 $10 million
00:11:04.340 in veteran debt
00:11:05.640 by Veterans Day.
00:11:06.860 Thanks to your support
00:11:07.660 last week,
00:11:08.340 Pure Talk is 53%
00:11:10.240 toward that goal
00:11:11.460 with two weeks to go.
00:11:12.840 Now, just think about this.
00:11:14.480 We have a 100%
00:11:15.780 volunteer military.
00:11:17.180 Men and women
00:11:17.740 who raise their hands
00:11:18.660 to sacrifice
00:11:19.320 for our country.
00:11:21.280 And when they're done
00:11:21.880 serving,
00:11:22.660 they come back
00:11:23.220 to a tight job market
00:11:24.340 and an outrageous
00:11:25.140 cost of living expenses.
00:11:26.680 That is one of the
00:11:27.680 many reasons
00:11:28.220 that I'm so happy
00:11:29.100 a private company
00:11:30.360 like Pure Talk

00:12:00.680 It is the right move
00:12:01.500 and it's the American way.
00:12:03.500 Speaking of women,
00:12:05.260 a woman has gone viral
00:12:06.400 for whining about her job.
00:12:08.220 This clip thanks,
00:12:09.780 as always,
00:12:10.920 to our friends
00:12:11.600 over at Libs of TikTok.
00:12:14.020 Everybody is making fun
00:12:15.940 of this woman.
00:12:16.860 Here's why.
00:12:17.880 I know I'm probably
00:12:18.540 just being so dramatic
00:12:19.480 and annoying,
00:12:20.420 but this is my first job,
00:12:22.200 like my first 9-to-5 job
00:12:23.540 after college
00:12:24.320 and I'm in person
00:12:25.380 and I'm commuting
00:12:26.500 in the city
00:12:27.040 and it takes me
00:12:27.860 forever
00:12:28.340 to get there.
00:12:29.640 There's no way
00:12:30.620 I'm going to be able
00:12:31.120 to afford living
00:12:31.920 in the city right now,
00:12:32.920 so that's off the table.
00:12:34.360 Like,
00:12:34.520 if I was able
00:12:35.960 to walk to work
00:12:36.500 and it'd be fine,
00:12:37.680 but I'm not.
00:12:38.420 So it literally takes me,
00:12:39.500 like I leave here,
00:12:40.240 like I get on the train
00:12:41.100 at 7.30
00:12:41.740 and I don't get home
00:12:42.700 till like 6.15 earliest
00:12:44.680 and then like
00:12:45.640 I don't have time
00:12:46.780 to do anything.
00:12:47.580 I don't,
00:12:48.120 I want to shower,
00:12:49.540 eat my dinner
00:12:50.120 and go to sleep.
00:12:50.800 I don't have time
00:12:51.380 or energy to cook
00:12:52.700 my dinner either.
00:12:53.420 Like I don't have energy
00:12:54.780 to work out,
00:12:55.560 like that's out the window.
00:12:56.580 Like I'm so upset.
00:12:59.440 Oh my God.
00:13:00.580 Nothing to do
00:13:01.240 with my job at all,
00:13:02.060 but just like
00:13:02.500 the 9 to 5 schedule
00:13:03.700 in general is crazy.
00:13:06.040 Being in the office
00:13:06.660 9 to 5,
00:13:07.180 like if it was remote,
00:13:07.980 you get off at 5
00:13:08.940 and you're home
00:13:09.860 and everything's fine,
00:13:10.720 but like I'm not home.
00:13:11.900 It takes me long
00:13:13.320 to get home
00:13:14.080 and like,
00:13:15.460 like people that drive
00:13:16.280 to the office,
00:13:16.800 like it doesn't,
00:13:17.440 you don't get off
00:13:18.200 at 5 and I know
00:13:19.680 it could be worse.
00:13:20.260 I know I could be
00:13:20.860 working longer,
00:13:21.680 but like I literally
00:13:22.800 get off,
00:13:23.280 it's pitch black.
00:13:23.920 Like I don't have energy.
00:13:25.580 How do you have friends?
00:13:26.560 Like how do you have time
00:13:27.280 to like meet like a guy?
00:13:30.700 I don't know.
00:13:31.320 Like how do you have time
00:13:31.920 for like dating?
00:13:32.720 Like I don't have time
00:13:33.720 for anything
00:13:34.420 and I'm like so stressed out
00:13:36.040 and I'm also getting my period.
00:13:37.820 So that's why I'm all emotional,
00:13:39.180 but like am I so dramatic?
00:13:41.480 It's fine.
00:13:43.140 Why are people making fun of her?
00:13:45.080 Everything she said was right.
00:13:47.420 She opens up,
00:13:48.300 she says,
00:13:48.560 hey,
00:13:48.700 I'm probably going to sound
00:13:49.300 really annoying
00:13:49.860 and overly dramatic here,
00:13:50.980 but anyway,
00:13:52.440 I'm going to complain
00:13:53.100 about my job
00:13:54.020 because the cities
00:13:55.500 are too expensive
00:13:56.200 to live in now
00:13:57.120 and it feels unnatural
00:13:58.640 for me,
00:13:59.500 a lady,
00:14:00.300 to be working
00:14:01.300 in exactly the same way
00:14:02.600 that a man is,
00:14:03.720 which is true
00:14:04.300 for most of human history
00:14:05.400 that would never have happened,
00:14:07.080 but because of feminism,
00:14:08.180 we have to pretend
00:14:08.780 that men and women
00:14:09.220 are exactly the same.
00:14:10.440 She goes,
00:14:10.700 and I don't really like that.
00:14:11.620 That doesn't make me
00:14:12.400 feel good or normal
00:14:14.260 in any way
00:14:14.880 and then I got to commute
00:14:16.040 all the way back
00:14:16.860 and I do this job
00:14:18.060 and I don't really like this job
00:14:19.180 and I'm not getting paid enough
00:14:21.360 so I can't live closer
00:14:22.300 so it makes it even harder.
00:14:23.660 Then I come back
00:14:24.580 and I don't really have
00:14:25.840 much time for a life
00:14:27.480 and it's very hard to date.
00:14:28.840 It is very hard to date
00:14:29.640 for young people,
00:14:30.280 especially in this stupid
00:14:31.920 feminist society
00:14:34.140 and mal-ordered economy
00:14:36.940 and then she says,
00:14:38.240 and by the way,
00:14:38.980 you know,
00:14:39.180 I'm also just,
00:14:39.920 I'm about to menstruate
00:14:41.000 so I'm probably
00:14:41.640 just being irrational,
00:14:42.420 which is also probably true.
00:14:44.060 I give her
00:14:45.360 not a 10 out of 10
00:14:46.860 but a 9 out of 10
00:14:47.740 in the arguments
00:14:48.700 that she's making.
00:14:51.020 The part that people
00:14:51.980 are really making fun of
00:14:53.060 is that she's complaining
00:14:53.860 about working a 9 to 5
00:14:55.160 because a lot of people
00:14:57.540 work a lot more
00:14:58.300 than a 9 to 5
00:14:59.040 though her argument is,
00:15:00.040 well, it's more than a 9 to 5
00:15:01.180 because I got to leave my house
00:15:02.380 an hour and a half
00:15:03.000 before I actually get there
00:15:04.100 and I get back
00:15:04.700 an hour and a half later
00:15:05.620 so it ends up being
00:15:07.060 not an 8 hour job
00:15:08.200 but more like a
00:15:09.020 10 or 11 hour job
00:15:10.660 and that's true
00:15:11.680 but even on that point,
00:15:14.500 I think she's getting
00:15:15.340 at something really important
00:15:16.840 which is,
00:15:18.000 it is important
00:15:18.780 to do your job
00:15:21.180 with purpose.
00:15:23.280 Many people listening
00:15:24.300 right now
00:15:24.840 do not work 9 to 5.
00:15:27.240 Many people listening
00:15:27.980 right now,
00:15:28.920 maybe most,
00:15:30.040 don't work
00:15:30.600 just 8 hours a day.
00:15:33.460 They work 9 or 10
00:15:34.800 or 11 or 12.
00:15:35.580 I couldn't tell you
00:15:36.180 the last time I worked
00:15:36.780 8 hours a day
00:15:37.960 but then again,
00:15:40.040 I can't tell you
00:15:40.620 the last time I worked
00:15:41.800 because my job
00:15:42.620 doesn't really feel like work.
00:15:43.740 Some of the time
00:15:44.360 it feels like work
00:15:45.080 but a lot of the time
00:15:45.800 it doesn't
00:15:46.300 because I'm doing something
00:15:47.400 that I feel is purposeful
00:15:48.940 and has meaning
00:15:50.020 and I enjoy it
00:15:52.940 or at the very least
00:15:53.640 even if I'm not
00:15:54.260 actively enjoying it
00:15:55.560 at any given moment,
00:15:56.640 I'm deriving some deal
00:15:58.640 of satisfaction
00:15:59.440 and gratification from it
00:16:00.660 and this can be true
00:16:02.280 of any job.
00:16:04.640 You can consecrate
00:16:05.580 any kind of work
00:16:06.540 even the sort of work
00:16:07.480 that elites would sneer at
00:16:09.600 and say is meaningless
00:16:10.480 or drudge work
00:16:11.380 or menial.
00:16:11.900 No, you can consecrate
00:16:13.900 that work to God.
00:16:15.780 You can find
00:16:16.840 profound meaning in that.
00:16:18.820 I mean, a classic example
00:16:20.220 of this is
00:16:20.960 if all of the journalists
00:16:22.440 suddenly disappeared
00:16:23.500 from the earth tomorrow,
00:16:24.800 nothing would change.
00:16:26.240 If all of the plumbers
00:16:28.580 or sanitation workers
00:16:29.640 disappeared from the earth,
00:16:31.080 society would come
00:16:31.800 to a grinding halt
00:16:32.620 within about 12 hours.
00:16:35.120 There's deep meaning in that
00:16:36.720 even though in our society
00:16:38.380 we deny such a thing
00:16:41.020 and we pretend
00:16:41.840 that the only work
00:16:43.080 that matters is,
00:16:43.840 I don't know,
00:16:44.080 Hollywood or journalists
00:16:46.160 or some wacko academics
00:16:48.680 in their ivory towers.
00:16:50.720 But no,
00:16:51.340 there has to be meaning there.
00:16:53.260 But so the issue
00:16:54.080 that she's complaining about
00:16:55.080 is not just,
00:16:56.360 oh, my job is annoying sometimes,
00:16:57.880 which is an issue
00:16:58.520 that every single person
00:16:59.720 who has ever lived
00:17:00.620 will deal with.
00:17:01.700 The issue that she's
00:17:02.920 complaining about
00:17:04.420 is the dearth of meaning,
00:17:06.480 which ties right back in
00:17:08.220 with what we were talking about
00:17:09.580 when it comes to
00:17:10.060 Speaker Johnson.
00:17:11.960 If you think
00:17:13.060 that there's no point to life,
00:17:14.980 that we're just here
00:17:15.700 to feel pleasure
00:17:16.560 at any given moment,
00:17:17.620 you're going to be miserable
00:17:18.600 most of the time
00:17:19.600 because you've got to work.
00:17:21.200 You've got to work
00:17:21.700 at your job.
00:17:22.440 You've got to work
00:17:22.960 on your personal relationships.
00:17:24.700 You've got to work
00:17:25.200 in your home.
00:17:26.360 You've got to work.
00:17:27.840 By the sweat of our brow,
00:17:29.140 we will have our food.
00:17:32.020 If you think
00:17:32.740 there is a purpose, though,
00:17:33.980 which is,
00:17:34.480 okay,
00:17:34.720 I'm not just going to
00:17:35.480 date aimlessly.
00:17:36.180 I'm going to get married
00:17:37.060 and I'm not just going
00:17:38.600 to be in a partnership
00:17:39.640 like the liberals
00:17:40.540 talk about today,
00:17:41.260 but I'm going to have
00:17:41.860 a real family
00:17:42.520 and I'm going to have kids
00:17:43.600 if I'm blessed to have kids
00:17:44.660 and I'm going to raise those kids
00:17:45.720 and I'm going to do so
00:17:46.700 for a purpose
00:17:47.400 because I think
00:17:48.420 that we're here
00:17:49.140 to be fruitful
00:17:51.220 and multiply
00:17:51.800 and to flourish
00:17:53.240 in our communities
00:17:54.020 and to pursue the good
00:17:54.880 and to glorify God,
00:17:56.620 you're going to have
00:17:57.180 a much easier time
00:17:58.180 and that eight-hour job
00:17:59.200 is going to feel
00:17:59.700 a lot shorter
00:18:00.300 and that 12-hour job
00:18:01.800 is going to feel
00:18:02.160 like an eight-hour job
00:18:03.020 and you're not going
00:18:03.520 to be concerned
00:18:04.240 about all the time
00:18:07.000 you feel you're wasting.
00:18:08.000 In fact,
00:18:08.220 you're going to feel
00:18:08.640 like there isn't
00:18:09.360 enough time at all.
00:18:11.320 Now,
00:18:11.580 speaking of young women
00:18:13.000 talking about their work
00:18:14.080 in viral videos,
00:18:15.780 I have to turn
00:18:16.960 our attention
00:18:17.420 to Greta Thunberg
00:18:19.880 who appears
00:18:21.580 to have gone viral.
00:18:23.920 I say that
00:18:24.820 intentionally.
00:18:26.180 She appears
00:18:26.640 to have gone viral
00:18:27.440 giving her thoughts
00:18:30.360 on how to proceed
00:18:32.300 in the upcoming
00:18:33.260 world war.
00:18:34.520 War is always bad
00:18:35.780 specifically
00:18:36.500 for the planet.
00:18:38.020 If we want
00:18:38.360 to continue
00:18:38.960 fighting battles
00:18:41.000 like environmentally
00:18:42.260 conscious humans,
00:18:43.380 we must make
00:18:44.540 the change
00:18:44.980 to sustainable
00:18:45.620 tanks and weaponry.
00:18:47.220 There are
00:18:47.520 so many new concepts
00:18:48.900 for battery-powered
00:18:50.720 fighter jets
00:18:51.420 that can carry
00:18:52.460 many more
00:18:53.280 missiles,
00:18:54.960 biodegradable missiles,
00:18:56.140 of course.
00:18:56.440 something literally
00:18:57.880 everybody can do
00:18:59.180 to stop this nonsense
00:19:00.200 is,
00:19:02.100 for example,
00:19:03.320 block the roads
00:19:04.020 to gardens and farms
00:19:05.100 so the plants
00:19:06.020 don't get overrun
00:19:06.920 by these heavy,
00:19:07.720 heavy tanks.
00:19:08.760 Hand grenades,
00:19:09.960 very important.
00:19:11.200 If you use hand grenades,
00:19:12.780 please use
00:19:13.840 vegan grenades.
00:19:15.180 No animal should
00:19:15.900 have to give their life
00:19:16.760 for all this mayhem
00:19:17.620 and chaos.
00:19:18.540 They have a special
00:19:19.180 sticker on them.
00:19:20.060 You really can't
00:19:21.060 miss them
00:19:21.560 in the grenade market
00:19:23.240 or wherever you buy them.
00:19:24.580 Yeah,
00:19:24.800 I cover all of this
00:19:25.800 and more.
00:19:26.440 in my newest book,
00:19:27.520 Vegan Wars.
00:19:28.860 Vegan Wars.
00:19:29.700 This video
00:19:30.700 had me going
00:19:32.400 until the vegan grenades
00:19:34.060 and then I looked around
00:19:35.600 and it's pretty well labeled.
00:19:36.840 It says AI humor
00:19:37.920 and even though
00:19:38.600 it says BBC
00:19:39.160 and
00:19:39.580 it's really good.
00:19:42.980 This is a really good
00:19:44.100 deep fake.
00:19:44.600 It's not 100%
00:19:45.480 of the way there
00:19:46.060 but it's,
00:19:47.480 I don't know,
00:19:47.960 94,
00:19:48.640 95%
00:19:49.320 of the way there.
00:19:49.920 And this is another issue
00:19:52.500 where the chattering
00:19:53.180 class is bemoaning,
00:19:55.060 they're rending their garments
00:19:57.260 over the spread
00:19:58.080 of deepfakes.
00:19:58.880 I think deepfakes are great.
00:20:00.440 I'm all for the deepfakes.
00:20:02.700 Obviously,
00:20:03.200 they could be abused
00:20:03.840 but the thing I like
00:20:05.340 about the deepfakes
00:20:06.280 is they deplete
00:20:07.560 the power
00:20:08.260 of gotcha moments.
00:20:10.420 They deplete
00:20:11.140 the power
00:20:11.860 of,
00:20:12.620 you know,
00:20:12.980 you get
00:20:13.560 a decent
00:20:15.820 political candidate
00:20:16.900 but then,
00:20:18.160 I don't know,
00:20:18.920 they said something
00:20:20.280 untoward
00:20:21.080 and they got caught
00:20:21.920 on camera
00:20:22.500 doing it 20 years ago
00:20:23.820 and so now
00:20:24.400 that's going to ruin
00:20:25.140 their lives.
00:20:26.140 With deepfakes
00:20:27.140 now totally pervasive,
00:20:30.140 people are going
00:20:31.180 to question
00:20:32.500 even the videos
00:20:34.040 that they're seeing
00:20:34.540 before their very eyes
00:20:35.620 and so,
00:20:37.080 while this might lead
00:20:38.040 some to
00:20:39.160 a kind of
00:20:39.920 radical skepticism,
00:20:41.200 I think the society
00:20:41.960 is already
00:20:42.380 at the stage
00:20:43.200 of radical skepticism.
00:20:44.640 We deny objective truth,
00:20:45.840 we believe all sorts
00:20:46.480 of cockamamie things
00:20:47.320 like the notion
00:20:48.060 that men can become women
00:20:49.300 so I'm not worried
00:20:50.340 about the spread
00:20:51.940 of skepticism.
00:20:53.500 What I like
00:20:54.440 about the deepfakes
00:20:55.640 is that
00:20:56.140 it tunes us in
00:20:57.560 more closely
00:20:58.380 to what is going on
00:20:59.240 right now,
00:21:00.980 to the tangible,
00:21:02.700 to the local,
00:21:03.480 to the things
00:21:03.900 with which we have
00:21:04.380 a direct connection
00:21:05.180 so that we're not
00:21:06.080 merely being hypnotized
00:21:07.440 by the mass media
00:21:08.520 which is probably
00:21:09.140 the number one tool
00:21:10.600 of hypnotism,
00:21:13.700 of control
00:21:14.460 by the political elite.
00:21:17.100 I'm all for it.
00:21:18.460 Bring on those deepfakes
00:21:19.300 and bring on those
00:21:19.880 vegan hand grenades.
00:21:21.800 Now,
00:21:22.120 as the political order
00:21:24.020 goes up in smoke,
00:21:24.780 you're probably going to want
00:21:25.240 some tangible assets
00:21:26.100 speaking of things
00:21:27.360 you can hold on to
00:21:28.020 and that's why you want
00:21:28.580 to check out Birch Gold.

00:21:32.300 The G20,
00:21:33.160 or a group of 20,
00:21:34.420 is an international forum
00:21:35.860 for governments
00:21:37.080 and central bank governors.
00:21:38.480 It was established
00:21:39.440 in response
00:21:40.100 to the financial crises
00:21:41.060 of the late 1990s
00:21:42.360 with the aim
00:21:43.100 of promoting
00:21:43.580 international financial stability.
00:21:46.220 Last month,
00:21:47.020 the G20 announced
00:21:47.900 a plan to impose
00:21:48.820 digital currencies
00:21:49.740 and digital IDs
00:21:51.640 on their respective populations.
00:21:53.500 Central bank digital currencies
00:21:54.500 essentially allow the government
00:21:55.760 to track every purchase you make.
00:21:57.520 Even if you don't follow
00:21:58.700 international economic policies closely,
00:22:00.840 you should be concerned
00:22:01.600 and you should consider
00:22:02.700 diversifying at least
00:22:03.640 some of your assets
00:22:04.620 into physical gold
00:22:05.760 with the help
00:22:06.140 of Birch Gold Group.

00:23:04.260 but we're producing them
00:23:05.000 as quickly

00:23:16.500 Mmm.
00:23:16.720 Oh, wow.
00:23:18.040 Delish.
00:23:19.420 Also,
00:23:19.820 I've been burning
00:23:20.540 this candle
00:23:21.280 constantly
00:23:22.560 for a very long time now
00:23:24.040 and there's still
00:23:24.580 a fair bit of candle left.
00:23:26.180 This is a very well-made candle.
00:23:28.400 Artisanal pumpkin spice candles.
00:23:31.240 Speaking of political violence,
00:23:33.700 there's a troubling survey out
00:23:35.320 which is from
00:23:37.200 the Public Religion
00:23:38.000 Research Institute
00:23:38.840 and Brookings
00:23:39.560 which shows that
00:23:41.440 one in four Americans
00:23:42.740 believe political violence
00:23:44.520 is justified
00:23:45.800 to save the country.
00:23:48.280 And this headline
00:23:49.320 is going everywhere.
00:23:50.220 They say,
00:23:50.400 here we go.
00:23:50.960 We're descending
00:23:51.380 into civil war
00:23:52.120 and violence.
00:23:53.540 Usually,
00:23:53.980 it's being blamed
00:23:54.800 on those MAGA
00:23:55.640 right-wing Republican
00:23:56.820 terrorists
00:23:57.580 who are trying
00:23:58.340 to kill everybody.
00:24:00.220 What does the survey
00:24:01.180 really say?
00:24:02.300 It says today
00:24:03.040 about 23%
00:24:04.260 of Americans,
00:24:05.040 just a little under
00:24:05.540 one in four,
00:24:06.600 agree that,
00:24:07.120 because things
00:24:08.200 have gotten
00:24:08.600 so far off track,
00:24:09.800 true American patriots
00:24:10.820 may have to resort
00:24:11.520 to violence
00:24:12.040 in order to save
00:24:12.780 our country.
00:24:13.680 This is up from 15%
00:24:15.040 in 2021.
00:24:18.660 In principle,
00:24:20.500 that statement
00:24:21.260 is always true
00:24:23.540 in every state,
00:24:25.480 everywhere around the world
00:24:26.560 for all of history.
00:24:28.660 This is a point
00:24:29.580 I made a while ago
00:24:30.500 that I got in trouble
00:24:31.120 for making
00:24:31.620 when there was
00:24:32.860 some crazy Democrat
00:24:34.080 New Mexico governor
00:24:35.180 tried to suspend
00:24:37.580 certain laws
00:24:38.260 by saying
00:24:38.780 we're essentially
00:24:40.240 in a time of crisis
00:24:41.260 and we have to
00:24:42.240 ignore
00:24:45.220 certain rights
00:24:46.880 and liberties
00:24:47.480 because we face
00:24:49.180 an existential threat.
00:24:50.760 At the time,
00:24:51.360 what got me in trouble
00:24:52.040 was I said
00:24:52.600 what she is doing
00:24:53.520 is wrong.
00:24:54.220 She was suspending
00:24:54.700 some part of gun rights
00:24:56.080 in Albuquerque
00:24:57.020 or something.
00:24:57.960 I said what she is
00:24:58.700 actually doing
00:24:59.540 practically is wrong
00:25:01.060 and is not defensible.
00:25:02.560 But the principle
00:25:03.380 that she is articulating
00:25:04.480 is a true enough principle
00:25:06.400 because ultimately
00:25:07.720 if the political order
00:25:08.740 breaks down,
00:25:09.820 then extraordinary powers
00:25:11.360 necessarily
00:25:12.380 will be invoked
00:25:13.940 to preserve it.
00:25:15.020 And this notion
00:25:15.520 was defended
00:25:16.060 by the American
00:25:18.200 founding fathers.
00:25:18.860 It was defended
00:25:19.240 for goodness sakes
00:25:19.820 by Thomas Jefferson
00:25:20.960 who was the most
00:25:21.800 classically liberal-minded
00:25:23.060 of the prominent
00:25:24.340 founding fathers
00:25:24.960 who wrote the
00:25:25.400 Declaration of Independence.
00:25:26.660 But this is always true.
00:25:27.600 It's just as true
00:25:28.200 as this principle here.
00:25:29.820 If the political order
00:25:31.220 breaks down,
00:25:32.340 there will be
00:25:33.340 political violence.
00:25:35.120 And in fact,
00:25:37.000 the exercise
00:25:39.700 of political violence
00:25:40.920 will be justified
00:25:42.260 to preserve the order
00:25:44.100 just as extraordinary
00:25:45.380 political powers
00:25:46.460 will be justified
00:25:47.620 so that the entire
00:25:48.780 political system
00:25:49.520 doesn't collapse.
00:25:50.260 I'm not recommending this.
00:25:51.640 I'm not saying
00:25:52.040 we're in this time now.
00:25:53.160 I'm not encouraging
00:25:54.020 anybody to take that up.
00:25:55.600 I'm not looking forward
00:25:56.640 to a time
00:25:57.200 when the political order
00:25:58.260 breaks down
00:25:58.840 and political violence
00:25:59.840 becomes more popular.
00:26:00.820 don't shoot the messenger.
00:26:03.600 I'm just observing
00:26:04.540 that is necessarily
00:26:05.780 what will happen
00:26:07.040 throughout all of history.
00:26:08.660 And some people,
00:26:09.820 a little bit on the right
00:26:10.520 but mostly on the left,
00:26:12.120 are very cavalier
00:26:13.060 about all of that.
00:26:14.180 I mean,
00:26:14.380 the left openly
00:26:15.240 promotes political violence
00:26:16.800 through terrorist groups
00:26:17.740 like Antifa
00:26:18.500 and BLM
00:26:19.760 and in recent weeks
00:26:21.280 and in recent weeks,
00:26:21.400 I guess,
00:26:21.620 Hamas.
00:26:22.640 They're all for
00:26:23.860 political violence
00:26:24.900 targeting civilians.
00:26:27.080 But
00:26:27.420 that kind of chaos,
00:26:30.360 that kind of anarchy
00:26:31.080 will
00:26:31.800 inevitably result
00:26:34.460 in more violence.
00:26:36.540 And the,
00:26:37.500 in fact,
00:26:37.820 the only way to justify it
00:26:38.800 would be to
00:26:39.600 use it
00:26:41.720 in order to
00:26:42.720 preserve the political order.
00:26:44.280 But that gets
00:26:44.900 very dicey
00:26:45.840 very, very quickly.
00:26:47.280 And the people
00:26:48.020 who are clamoring
00:26:48.760 for civil war
00:26:49.800 or armed insurrection
00:26:51.220 or anything like that,
00:26:52.300 mostly on the left
00:26:53.220 but occasionally
00:26:53.740 you hear a little bit
00:26:54.260 on the right,
00:26:55.320 I fear they do not know
00:26:56.760 what they are signing up for.
00:26:59.160 Because
00:26:59.560 just as we're
00:27:00.780 sleepwalking
00:27:01.400 toward World War III
00:27:02.220 in Ukraine
00:27:02.780 and in the Middle East,
00:27:04.440 so too we hear this at home.
00:27:05.800 Oh yes,
00:27:06.340 we're on the brink
00:27:06.860 of civil war.
00:27:07.640 We need a national divorce.
00:27:08.920 We need partition.
00:27:10.620 Yeah,
00:27:10.820 when has that ever
00:27:11.500 happened peacefully?
00:27:13.760 Wouldn't be so cavalier
00:27:15.080 about that man.
00:27:16.060 Now speaking of
00:27:16.780 political violence
00:27:17.460 and the outbreak
00:27:18.180 of World War III,
00:27:19.640 there is a conflict
00:27:20.440 right now.
00:27:21.620 There's a genocide
00:27:22.680 that is going on
00:27:23.860 right now
00:27:24.320 that is not making
00:27:26.020 very many headlines.
00:27:27.740 We hear about
00:27:28.440 the conflict
00:27:28.840 in Ukraine.
00:27:30.160 We hear about
00:27:30.880 the conflict
00:27:31.340 in Gaza
00:27:32.720 and the state of Israel.
00:27:33.980 We hear about
00:27:34.840 potential genocides
00:27:36.200 from both sides,
00:27:37.500 especially in Gaza
00:27:38.700 and the state of Israel.
00:27:41.000 You probably
00:27:41.820 haven't heard
00:27:42.380 very much
00:27:42.800 about the
00:27:43.160 Nagorno-Karabakh
00:27:44.640 conflict,
00:27:45.360 which is a conflict
00:27:46.300 between Armenia
00:27:47.620 and Azerbaijan.
00:27:49.580 Azerbaijan,
00:27:50.500 Muslim country.
00:27:51.620 Armenia,
00:27:52.160 a Christian country.
00:27:53.020 Not only a Christian country,
00:27:54.280 the oldest Christian country
00:27:55.540 in the world.
00:27:56.880 A country that converted
00:27:58.440 at a national level
00:28:01.560 to Christianity
00:28:02.620 in the early
00:28:04.080 fourth century.
00:28:05.700 And right now,
00:28:07.740 Azerbaijan,
00:28:08.880 not only
00:28:09.520 ethnically cleansed
00:28:11.640 territory
00:28:12.340 formerly held
00:28:13.140 by the Armenians,
00:28:14.060 Nagorno-Karabakh,
00:28:15.120 but
00:28:15.460 now threatens
00:28:17.760 the Armenian people
00:28:18.480 more broadly.
00:28:19.560 So,
00:28:20.000 how did this happen?
00:28:23.160 Azerbaijan
00:28:23.700 claimed this territory,
00:28:27.080 the Nagorno-Karabakh,
00:28:29.180 because Stalin
00:28:30.340 and the Soviet Union
00:28:31.460 came in
00:28:31.980 and conquered Azerbaijan
00:28:32.960 and Armenia
00:28:34.440 and Stalin
00:28:35.620 essentially gave this territory
00:28:38.720 to Azerbaijan.
00:28:39.680 then the Soviet Union
00:28:41.440 collapses,
00:28:42.400 then there's conflict
00:28:43.440 over the territory.
00:28:44.540 There's a ceasefire
00:28:45.440 in 1994
00:28:46.440 and in 1994
00:28:47.700 this region
00:28:49.180 full of Armenians,
00:28:51.480 but not
00:28:51.980 within the borders
00:28:53.200 of what we now call
00:28:53.940 present-day Armenia,
00:28:55.580 declares itself
00:28:56.240 the Republic of Artsakh
00:28:57.520 and is allowed to exist
00:28:59.180 in practice
00:29:00.440 as an independent state
00:29:01.660 within Azerbaijan.
00:29:03.160 then
00:29:04.240 16 years,
00:29:05.980 more than 16 years later,
00:29:07.740 26 years later,
00:29:09.200 I guess,
00:29:10.140 the conflict
00:29:11.440 gets a little bit hot again
00:29:12.560 in 2020.
00:29:13.460 There were border clashes.
00:29:14.580 It ends with
00:29:15.340 Azerbaijan coming in
00:29:16.620 and taking big portions
00:29:17.760 of the Republic of Artsakh,
00:29:19.440 which is sort of Armenia,
00:29:20.660 but not
00:29:21.000 exactly Armenia,
00:29:22.480 but it's filled with Armenians,
00:29:23.460 but even Armenia
00:29:24.040 wouldn't recognize
00:29:24.860 the independence
00:29:25.700 of the Republic of Artsakh.
00:29:27.440 Then,
00:29:28.000 what happened?
00:29:30.300 The Azerbaijanis
00:29:31.640 continue to get
00:29:32.640 more and more aggressive
00:29:33.640 against the Armenians.
00:29:34.780 Why?
00:29:35.300 Because Russia,
00:29:37.240 which had been under Stalin,
00:29:38.940 one of the causes
00:29:39.480 of this conflict,
00:29:40.560 had actually been
00:29:41.500 the peacekeepers,
00:29:42.680 but Russia got bogged down
00:29:44.160 in the Ukraine war.
00:29:45.320 Had Russia just gone in
00:29:46.480 and ended the Ukraine war
00:29:47.280 within two weeks,
00:29:47.900 you probably wouldn't have
00:29:48.620 seen this break out
00:29:49.440 or it wouldn't have gotten
00:29:50.860 as bad as it did,
00:29:52.120 but because Russia
00:29:53.260 ended up getting bogged down
00:29:54.340 in the war in Ukraine,
00:29:55.060 which is still ongoing,
00:29:56.240 the conflict begins
00:29:57.320 to fester.
00:29:58.620 Now,
00:29:59.360 Azerbaijan
00:29:59.800 comes in
00:30:01.200 and blockades
00:30:02.200 the Takin,
00:30:03.120 I'm probably mispronouncing
00:30:03.940 that,
00:30:04.180 corridor,
00:30:04.800 and cuts off
00:30:05.680 Nagorno-Karabakh
00:30:06.580 from the outside world.
00:30:07.340 So,
00:30:07.460 cuts off these Armenians
00:30:08.220 from the outside world
00:30:09.260 and all the kinds
00:30:11.020 of atrocities
00:30:11.680 that you hear about,
00:30:12.880 the starvation,
00:30:14.140 the blockades,
00:30:15.220 the death,
00:30:16.360 the rape,
00:30:16.900 the violence,
00:30:18.020 you hear about
00:30:18.640 coming from this region.
00:30:20.720 So,
00:30:20.980 then what happens?
00:30:22.660 Now,
00:30:23.560 things are
00:30:24.300 even dicier.
00:30:26.240 Israel,
00:30:27.380 which is
00:30:28.260 a U.S. ally,
00:30:29.440 took the side
00:30:31.060 of Azerbaijan.
00:30:32.300 Why did Israel,
00:30:32.840 this is my biggest complaint
00:30:34.200 against the state of Israel
00:30:35.020 in recent years.
00:30:36.760 Israel takes the side
00:30:37.500 of Azerbaijan
00:30:37.940 because Azerbaijan
00:30:39.680 is an ally of,
00:30:43.260 or is an opponent,
00:30:44.700 rather,
00:30:45.220 of Iran.
00:30:46.660 And Iran
00:30:47.020 is the biggest enemy
00:30:48.160 of Israel.
00:30:49.240 So,
00:30:49.680 Iran,
00:30:50.660 a Muslim country,
00:30:51.560 takes the side
00:30:52.100 of Armenia,
00:30:53.320 the Christian country,
00:30:54.520 against the other
00:30:55.820 Muslim country,
00:30:56.820 Azerbaijan.
00:30:57.980 Russia,
00:30:58.620 which had been,
00:31:00.120 to some degree,
00:31:01.160 protecting the rights
00:31:01.860 of the Armenians,
00:31:03.100 could come in now
00:31:04.060 and take the side
00:31:04.540 of Azerbaijan
00:31:05.040 because Azerbaijan
00:31:05.800 seems to be winning
00:31:07.080 the conflict.
00:31:09.620 What about
00:31:10.160 Turkey?
00:31:11.640 What about,
00:31:12.680 what is the United States'
00:31:13.840 role here?
00:31:14.640 I, for one,
00:31:15.440 as an American,
00:31:16.060 would like to see us
00:31:16.720 protect the Armenians
00:31:17.900 out of Christian solidarity,
00:31:19.940 if for nothing else.
00:31:21.800 But where does it all stand?
00:31:23.280 It all shows you
00:31:26.360 the complexities
00:31:27.660 of foreign policy,
00:31:29.600 which everyone
00:31:30.860 likes to spout off on
00:31:32.040 the minute any conflict
00:31:32.880 breaks out.
00:31:34.100 Everyone likes to,
00:31:35.340 you know,
00:31:36.340 have a hyper-focus
00:31:37.480 on the conflicts
00:31:38.460 that are the big
00:31:39.580 headline stories
00:31:40.360 in the news.
00:31:40.840 But these kind of conflicts,
00:31:41.820 even up to the point
00:31:42.400 of genocide,
00:31:43.260 happen all over the world
00:31:44.460 and they happen
00:31:44.960 much more regularly
00:31:45.740 than we would like
00:31:46.640 to admit.
00:31:47.400 And,
00:31:47.880 this is crucial,
00:31:48.620 if the war
00:31:50.840 in the Middle East
00:31:51.560 expands,
00:31:53.560 as it seems like it will,
00:31:55.980 you could trigger
00:31:56.960 so many other conflicts
00:31:59.600 that you could be
00:32:00.720 in a world war,
00:32:01.760 a true world war
00:32:02.500 involving a huge number,
00:32:04.120 if not most nations
00:32:04.980 of the earth,
00:32:06.020 in the blink of an eye.
00:32:08.880 What happens
00:32:09.680 if the war
00:32:10.280 in Israel and Gaza
00:32:12.180 expands
00:32:12.780 to include Iran?
00:32:14.700 What is that going to mean
00:32:15.580 for Armenia
00:32:16.780 and Azerbaijan
00:32:17.540 and Russia?
00:32:18.460 And we haven't even
00:32:18.940 talked about China.
00:32:19.780 What's it going to mean
00:32:20.340 in Ukraine?
00:32:21.160 What's it going to mean
00:32:21.700 for the United States?
00:32:23.440 How quickly
00:32:24.160 could we go from
00:32:26.560 bad
00:32:27.360 to much,
00:32:28.120 much worse?
00:32:29.900 There's much more
00:32:30.580 to talk about
00:32:31.160 before we get
00:32:32.540 to the mailbag.
00:32:34.360 First, though,
00:32:35.700 you've been asking us
00:32:37.360 for an alternative
00:32:37.860 in kids' media,
00:32:38.600 and now it's finally here.
00:32:39.420 The Daily Wire
00:32:39.880 has just launched
00:32:40.760 Bent Key,
00:32:42.400 our brand new
00:32:43.060 kids' platform.
00:32:44.480 We're all sick
00:32:45.380 of Hollywood pushing
00:32:46.100 a leftist,
00:32:47.060 propaganda,
00:32:47.720 agenda on our kids.
00:32:48.740 Now, here is an answer
00:32:50.260 for those of us
00:32:50.860 looking for kids' shows
00:32:51.560 that we can trust.
00:32:52.520 Bent Key is brand new.
00:32:53.500 It's available
00:32:53.880 to download right now.
00:32:55.240 It's an entirely new company
00:32:56.340 from The Daily Wire
00:32:56.940 dedicated to creating
00:32:57.760 the next generation
00:32:58.560 of timeless stories
00:32:59.360 that transport kids
00:33:00.640 into a world of adventure,
00:33:02.320 imagination,
00:33:03.260 and joy.
00:33:04.020 The content is phenomenal,
00:33:05.740 high quality,
00:33:06.380 fun.
00:33:07.500 My kids love it.
00:33:09.080 This stuff,
00:33:09.640 I already had high expectations
00:33:10.600 for it.
00:33:11.020 This totally exceeded
00:33:11.960 my expectations.
00:33:13.740 I could never have imagined
00:33:14.920 that The Daily Wire
00:33:15.520 was going to provide
00:33:16.220 all of this
00:33:16.900 for its members
00:33:17.380 without increasing
00:33:18.140 the price
00:33:18.480 of the annual membership.
00:33:19.800 In fact,
00:33:20.040 I think we should have
00:33:20.620 increased the price
00:33:21.180 of the annual membership,
00:33:22.400 but hey,
00:33:22.720 I don't make these decisions,
00:33:24.060 and The Daily Wire
00:33:24.540 wanted to give
00:33:25.200 a huge value add
00:33:26.320 for the members.
00:33:27.560 This is a $99 value
00:33:28.920 you get completely for free.
00:33:31.120 What that goes to show
00:33:31.940 is that we don't just
00:33:33.500 talk about changing culture,
00:33:35.020 we put it into action.
00:33:36.220 We really believe
00:33:36.880 in what we're doing,
00:33:37.680 and as I said,
00:33:38.200 if you're already
00:33:38.480 a DW Plus member,
00:33:39.760 you already have Bent Key.

00:33:57.480 My favorite comment
00:33:58.460 yesterday is from
00:33:59.100 Demolition Man 5003
00:34:01.380 who says,
00:34:02.240 wow,
00:34:02.740 so we live in the USSR now.
00:34:04.400 That was so coerced,
00:34:05.680 you can tell
00:34:06.120 that the government
00:34:06.540 basically said,
00:34:07.260 do this or your life is over.
00:34:08.400 Yeah, speaking of Stalin,
00:34:09.880 speaking of the USSR,
00:34:12.080 the confession from Jenna
00:34:13.500 was so depressing.
00:34:15.920 Not because of whatever
00:34:18.660 it means for Jenna,
00:34:19.800 not because of what it means
00:34:21.140 for Trump's defense
00:34:22.060 that his former lawyer
00:34:23.440 is taking a plea deal.
00:34:25.060 Not because any of us
00:34:28.660 would have necessarily
00:34:29.760 done any differently
00:34:30.940 because of what it says
00:34:32.900 about the regime.
00:34:33.720 It feels like we are living
00:34:35.040 in the Soviet Union.
00:34:37.500 There's so much more
00:34:38.600 I want to get to.
00:34:39.420 There's so much more
00:34:40.160 to say today.
00:34:42.060 But we got to get
00:34:42.840 to the mailbag.
00:34:43.440 This mailbag is sponsored
00:34:44.340 by Pure Talk.
00:34:45.000 Go to puretalk.com
00:34:45.660 slash Knowles,
00:34:46.460 K-N-A-W-L-E-S
00:34:47.340 today.
00:34:48.640 Take it away.
00:34:50.120 All right, Michael,
00:34:50.800 I have a weird one for you.
00:34:52.960 So I get my dog groomed
00:34:55.320 kind of regularly
00:34:56.380 every few months,
00:34:57.480 and she's kind of crazy
00:34:59.040 to put it mildly.
00:35:00.480 We've gone through
00:35:01.320 a few groomers
00:35:02.340 and just recently
00:35:03.620 I found one
00:35:04.400 that I really like.
00:35:06.000 She has great
00:35:07.060 customer service.
00:35:08.020 She's great with my dog.
00:35:09.160 My dog likes her.
00:35:11.040 She gets the job done.
00:35:12.720 No issues.
00:35:14.660 And I started noticing
00:35:16.500 that she has a lot of
00:35:17.780 like a cult-looking tattoos,
00:35:20.060 which is kind of weird to me.
00:35:22.880 And curiosity got the better of me.
00:35:25.200 And I went and looked her up
00:35:27.220 on Facebook.
00:35:28.420 And sure enough,
00:35:29.680 she's like an avowed Satanist.
00:35:33.260 Anyway,
00:35:34.200 I don't know if I just should have
00:35:36.320 minded my business on that.
00:35:38.580 Um,
00:35:39.140 I really know where to go from here.
00:35:41.640 I don't know if I feel comfortable
00:35:42.980 doing business with somebody
00:35:44.580 who's a Satanist.
00:35:46.540 I just want to know
00:35:47.340 what you would do, Michael.
00:35:49.320 Any advice would be great.
00:35:50.840 Thanks.
00:35:51.200 I would not have a dog.
00:35:53.860 I feel totally vindicated now
00:35:55.380 in my relatively anti-dog stance
00:35:57.480 because this is what happens.
00:35:58.860 You get a dog,
00:35:59.900 you get the cute little pooch,
00:36:01.500 and then all of a sudden
00:36:02.320 you're doing business
00:36:02.940 with Satanists.
00:36:04.560 But if I had a dog,
00:36:06.200 I would not do business
00:36:08.360 with a Satanist
00:36:09.020 in any circumstance.
00:36:10.900 But before you fire her,
00:36:13.080 you might ask about the tattoos.
00:36:16.880 You know,
00:36:17.320 you bring your dog there.
00:36:19.140 Dogs don't have immortal souls,
00:36:20.160 so you don't need to worry about,
00:36:21.240 you know,
00:36:21.540 any terrible things
00:36:22.720 happening to your dog.
00:36:24.280 But you could go there
00:36:25.060 and say,
00:36:25.660 hey,
00:36:26.360 what's that tattoo mean?
00:36:29.840 People get tattoos
00:36:31.480 because they want to talk about them.
00:36:33.640 No one gets a tattoo
00:36:34.560 because they don't want to talk about
00:36:36.280 whatever the tattoo represents.
00:36:38.040 They got it permanently
00:36:40.060 etched onto their body.
00:36:41.380 It's something they want to talk about.
00:36:43.100 They want it to be noticed.
00:36:44.900 So you could ask about it.
00:36:46.000 And then you could use it
00:36:46.840 as an opportunity to evangelize.
00:36:48.260 I'm not saying you necessarily
00:36:51.020 are obligated to do that
00:36:53.020 and to go,
00:36:54.000 you know,
00:36:54.260 make a disciple
00:36:54.780 of every dog groomer
00:36:55.660 in the world,
00:36:56.360 but it would be a good thing to do.
00:36:59.100 So you could do that.
00:37:00.360 And then worst case,
00:37:00.980 you fire her.
00:37:01.860 And what's the worst thing she does?
00:37:03.340 She tries to like
00:37:04.020 put a hex on you or something.
00:37:05.160 Well, who cares?
00:37:05.760 You know,
00:37:06.120 your God
00:37:06.680 beats all the demons
00:37:08.140 and the devil.
00:37:08.960 So that's okay.
00:37:09.920 But you could use that
00:37:11.840 as an opportunity.
00:37:13.680 Next question.
00:37:15.760 Hello, Michael.
00:37:17.580 Sending my readings
00:37:18.660 from the beautiful Croatia.
00:37:20.260 I hope you will come one day
00:37:21.880 to do a speech.
00:37:23.700 I'm still waiting to get
00:37:24.520 my speechless
00:37:25.200 Controlling Words,
00:37:26.220 Controlling Minds book signed.
00:37:28.200 But I'm here on this mailbag
00:37:29.960 to actually bring some good news
00:37:33.060 to you,
00:37:33.640 which is quite rare, I know.
00:37:35.420 So my friend works
00:37:36.420 in a kindergarten
00:37:37.220 and he just sent me today
00:37:38.960 a page from questions
00:37:41.560 which they grade
00:37:42.400 their kids' maturity.
00:37:44.900 And this specific question
00:37:46.480 was in regards
00:37:47.400 to their emotional maturity.
00:37:50.000 And one of the points
00:37:51.220 which actually brings it up
00:37:53.440 is the child knows
00:37:56.440 that he will grow up
00:37:57.660 to be a man or a woman,
00:37:59.200 that he can change his gender
00:38:01.280 by dressing
00:38:02.300 or having long hair.
00:38:04.300 So he can't be considered
00:38:06.800 a man or a woman
00:38:07.860 by aesthetically looking
00:38:09.600 like a man or a woman
00:38:10.720 even though they
00:38:11.300 don't usually look
00:38:12.900 like either one.
00:38:14.700 Yeah, this really made me happy today.
00:38:17.100 I hope you enjoy your week,
00:38:19.320 the next week,
00:38:19.900 the weekend
00:38:20.340 because it's a Friday.
00:38:22.420 And yeah,
00:38:22.900 peace.
00:38:23.240 Hope to see you one day.
00:38:25.340 I loved hearing that message.
00:38:27.700 That really did set off
00:38:28.600 my weekend in a great way.
00:38:29.960 one,
00:38:31.760 because I love
00:38:32.460 that the show
00:38:32.920 is making it to Croatia.
00:38:34.180 That is great.
00:38:35.080 That is absolutely fabulous.
00:38:36.420 But two,
00:38:37.660 just underscores the point
00:38:39.220 that Eastern Europe
00:38:40.160 is the hope.
00:38:42.120 Eastern Europe,
00:38:42.800 which was once
00:38:43.260 dominated by the communists,
00:38:44.860 actually maybe
00:38:45.380 because it was dominated
00:38:46.260 by the communists,
00:38:47.500 keep producing
00:38:48.880 these much more
00:38:50.660 conservative societies.
00:38:51.720 You think of Hungary.
00:38:52.920 Hungary is the leader
00:38:53.660 in Europe
00:38:54.160 for conservatism.
00:38:56.960 You think of Poland.
00:38:57.960 Poland's pretty good.
00:38:58.940 Croatia now too.
00:38:59.780 Croatia knows the difference
00:39:00.760 between a man and a woman.
00:39:02.300 That's great news.
00:39:03.140 Maybe we in the West
00:39:03.860 need to look East
00:39:04.620 a little bit
00:39:05.160 to learn some lessons
00:39:07.380 that apparently
00:39:08.060 kindergartners already know.
00:39:09.700 Next question.
00:39:11.300 Hi, Michael.
00:39:11.880 Big fan of the show.
00:39:13.360 So if we were to remove
00:39:14.620 your political views
00:39:15.540 from the equation
00:39:16.360 and you were to meet
00:39:17.300 the other Daily Wire hosts
00:39:18.520 out in the world
00:39:19.160 outside of the Daily Wire,
00:39:20.680 do you think that
00:39:21.340 you would still be friends?
00:39:22.400 And if so,
00:39:23.020 on what basis?
00:39:24.200 Thanks.
00:39:25.600 Yes.
00:39:26.680 In fact,
00:39:27.220 I know that
00:39:28.120 because
00:39:28.920 that is what happened
00:39:30.800 because we were friends
00:39:32.140 before the Daily Wire existed.
00:39:33.660 So
00:39:33.820 at least
00:39:35.180 at least me,
00:39:38.560 Jeremy,
00:39:39.280 Ben,
00:39:39.980 and Drew
00:39:40.640 were all friends
00:39:42.180 before Daily Wire existed.
00:39:43.380 I guess we met,
00:39:44.780 Candace kind of came
00:39:45.580 on the scene
00:39:46.160 after the Daily Wire existed,
00:39:47.900 but we did become friends
00:39:49.980 not only when we started
00:39:51.600 working together
00:39:52.160 but years before that.
00:39:54.280 Matt, too.
00:39:55.060 Matt was around,
00:39:56.300 he was in a different,
00:39:57.200 I think he was living in Texas.
00:39:58.240 No, he was living
00:39:58.760 in the Hilter land
00:40:00.020 somewhere of Maryland
00:40:00.820 or Pennsylvania
00:40:01.360 or something
00:40:01.720 in the early days
00:40:04.160 of Daily Wire.
00:40:05.000 But yeah,
00:40:05.440 yeah, we would.
00:40:06.060 I guess the only part
00:40:07.140 of your question
00:40:07.600 that doesn't make sense
00:40:08.340 to me is
00:40:08.780 you say,
00:40:10.160 if you took
00:40:11.080 your political views
00:40:12.060 out of it,
00:40:13.140 would you still be friends?
00:40:15.000 And I don't even really
00:40:16.060 know what that means
00:40:16.940 because a political view
00:40:18.780 is not just
00:40:19.620 whether you like
00:40:20.360 this candidate
00:40:20.980 or that candidate.
00:40:22.180 A political view
00:40:22.940 is not just
00:40:23.620 what's your stance
00:40:24.360 on immigration.
00:40:26.340 Politics is
00:40:27.380 how we all live together.
00:40:29.880 Politics,
00:40:30.740 political just means public.
00:40:32.600 So
00:40:33.040 if you have views
00:40:35.860 on anything
00:40:36.920 that pertains
00:40:37.600 to the public
00:40:38.300 on how we live together
00:40:39.620 on man relates
00:40:40.820 to his fellow man,
00:40:42.440 that would be
00:40:42.940 a political view.
00:40:44.420 And if you
00:40:45.240 put political views aside,
00:40:47.160 I don't really know
00:40:47.800 what you would be left with.
00:40:49.760 You could be left with
00:40:51.020 metaphysical views,
00:40:53.860 theological views,
00:40:55.120 philosophical views,
00:40:55.940 but really not even
00:40:57.360 because all of those things
00:40:58.480 touch on politics
00:40:59.440 because they touch
00:41:00.300 on human nature
00:41:00.880 and how man relates
00:41:01.560 to his fellow man.
00:41:02.640 So
00:41:02.740 I just
00:41:04.120 I don't think
00:41:05.560 it would be meaningful
00:41:06.740 to say
00:41:07.240 put your political views aside.
00:41:10.280 Your political views
00:41:11.660 touch on
00:41:12.880 virtually everything
00:41:14.100 that you would think about.
00:41:15.180 But would we be friends
00:41:15.980 outside the Daily Wire?
00:41:16.880 Yes.
00:41:17.980 And in fact,
00:41:19.100 we were.
00:41:20.080 Next question.
00:41:21.920 Hey, Michael.
00:41:23.080 I'm from America's
00:41:24.380 evil top hat,
00:41:25.360 as you say.
00:41:26.600 And I'm quite upset
00:41:27.860 because I don't have
00:41:29.020 access to
00:41:30.340 the new
00:41:31.220 Ben Key application.
00:41:32.940 and I could never
00:41:35.980 with my subscription
00:41:37.180 get a
00:41:38.180 leftist-steer tumbler.
00:41:40.160 And most importantly,
00:41:41.760 I don't have access
00:41:42.840 to the store
00:41:43.820 to buy
00:41:45.120 your best-selling game,
00:41:47.000 yes or no.
00:41:48.400 So
00:41:48.780 what are you
00:41:49.960 going to do about that?
00:41:51.760 I'm speechless.
00:41:54.120 By the way, guys,
00:41:55.060 can we get a couple bells here?
00:41:56.100 We've had two mentions
00:41:57.140 so far
00:41:57.960 in the mailbag.
00:41:59.060 Not one bell
00:41:59.920 has gone off.
00:42:01.720 Is Mr. Davies asleep
00:42:02.800 at the switchboard over there?
00:42:03.940 There we go.
00:42:04.920 Okay.
00:42:06.320 I guess that'll suffice.
00:42:07.780 I'm very sorry to hear
00:42:09.240 that
00:42:10.260 you're not able to get
00:42:12.160 the DW and
00:42:13.520 Ben Key products
00:42:14.440 up in
00:42:15.720 America's evil top hat.
00:42:17.000 I guess I'm not surprised.
00:42:18.680 I assume that,
00:42:19.760 you know,
00:42:21.000 there are
00:42:21.760 Gestapo
00:42:22.680 standing at the border
00:42:23.700 preventing any
00:42:24.660 good,
00:42:25.920 wholesome,
00:42:26.640 sane content
00:42:27.240 from getting in up there
00:42:28.100 these days
00:42:28.540 under the
00:42:29.360 tyranny of
00:42:30.260 Justin Trudeau.
00:42:31.960 But I guess my advice
00:42:33.140 would be
00:42:33.680 that you should
00:42:34.660 move south.
00:42:36.000 You should.
00:42:36.620 Don't,
00:42:36.840 and you can,
00:42:37.500 you're going to have
00:42:38.200 a harder time
00:42:38.760 moving south
00:42:39.720 across the northern border.
00:42:41.240 But if you fly to Mexico
00:42:42.460 or Nicaragua
00:42:44.120 or Guatemala
00:42:45.040 or El Salvador,
00:42:47.020 El Salvador is actually
00:42:47.780 pretty good now.
00:42:48.360 They've got a great
00:42:48.860 right-wing leader,
00:42:49.640 but I don't know,
00:42:50.140 Ecuador,
00:42:50.820 well, actually,
00:42:51.360 Ecuador is doing
00:42:51.780 a little better.
00:42:52.500 And whatever you got to do,
00:42:54.780 escape Canada
00:42:55.700 and then come on over here
00:42:57.120 and then you can get
00:42:59.380 the books
00:43:00.360 and you can get
00:43:01.580 the candles
00:43:02.720 and you can get
00:43:03.300 Bent Key
00:43:03.680 and you can get
00:43:04.300 a very special
00:43:05.160 project.
00:43:07.220 What I consider
00:43:08.140 to be the most
00:43:08.920 important project
00:43:09.780 the Daily Wire
00:43:10.220 has ever
00:43:10.720 commenced upon,
00:43:12.400 which will be
00:43:13.420 announced shortly.
00:43:14.540 Okay,
00:43:15.080 let's get to some
00:43:16.400 written mailbag questions.
00:43:18.060 This question up
00:43:18.840 from Mike.
00:43:19.820 Hey, Smokey Mike.
00:43:20.580 I've been seeing this gal
00:43:21.220 for a few months now.
00:43:22.500 I'm absolutely
00:43:23.100 taken with her.
00:43:23.700 She's smart,
00:43:24.300 exciting,
00:43:24.720 active,
00:43:25.040 and an incredible smile
00:43:25.940 and a devout Catholic.
00:43:28.980 My question is,
00:43:29.720 how does one ask
00:43:30.600 a woman to be
00:43:31.360 his girlfriend?
00:43:32.580 I'm 29
00:43:33.180 and have been
00:43:33.640 out of the formal
00:43:34.340 dating game
00:43:34.920 for some time
00:43:35.640 and there only
00:43:36.540 seem to be two ways
00:43:37.440 for the conversation
00:43:38.120 to go.
00:43:39.140 One seems juvenile
00:43:40.080 while the other
00:43:40.780 seems clinical.
00:43:41.600 Even the term
00:43:41.980 girlfriend
00:43:42.380 makes me cringe.
00:43:44.020 Any advice here
00:43:44.760 would be much appreciated
00:43:45.940 and as you are
00:43:46.900 the DW love guru,
00:43:48.220 indispensable,
00:43:48.840 I'm sure.
00:43:49.260 Thank you and God bless.
00:43:50.560 Well,
00:43:50.920 if you've been seeing
00:43:51.480 this girl for months now,
00:43:52.720 I don't know
00:43:54.940 where the ambiguity
00:43:55.780 would be.
00:43:57.480 I guess it depends
00:43:58.140 on how you're seeing her.
00:43:59.820 One hopes that you're
00:44:00.820 not doing naughty things
00:44:02.000 that only married people
00:44:02.720 are supposed to do.
00:44:03.720 But there would be
00:44:05.420 other ways
00:44:05.980 of showing signs
00:44:09.120 that you are
00:44:10.140 dating each other
00:44:11.680 exclusively.
00:44:13.500 For one,
00:44:14.340 do you,
00:44:14.840 you know,
00:44:15.580 kiss?
00:44:16.360 Do you like
00:44:17.040 smooch a little bit?
00:44:17.800 That would be
00:44:18.420 probably
00:44:19.060 a sign
00:44:20.440 that you're
00:44:21.100 at least
00:44:22.960 seeing each other.
00:44:24.320 You're dating,
00:44:24.820 if not exclusively.
00:44:26.760 Are you,
00:44:28.000 what kind of events
00:44:29.100 are you going to together?
00:44:30.200 Are you just going
00:44:30.860 and getting a cup
00:44:31.480 of coffee every now
00:44:32.300 and again?
00:44:32.800 Or are you
00:44:34.120 attending a wedding
00:44:34.860 together?
00:44:35.820 Have you invited her
00:44:37.320 to meet your family?
00:44:38.560 Maybe not your parents,
00:44:39.660 but maybe your siblings.
00:44:41.040 Or have you brought her
00:44:41.980 into your friend group?
00:44:43.080 Have you,
00:44:43.200 you know,
00:44:43.620 I agree,
00:44:44.920 it doesn't need to be like
00:44:45.720 you're in middle school
00:44:46.480 and you say,
00:44:47.060 hey Teehee,
00:44:47.660 would you be my girlfriend,
00:44:48.700 please?
00:44:49.920 Though you might
00:44:51.000 be that blunt,
00:44:51.840 but I just think
00:44:53.400 there are gradations
00:44:54.600 of seeing each other.
00:44:55.680 If you're going on walks
00:44:56.920 and still being rather coy
00:44:59.080 with one another,
00:44:59.820 that's a very elementary
00:45:01.100 stage of dating.
00:45:02.120 If you're,
00:45:03.080 you know,
00:45:03.980 smooching
00:45:04.360 and you pin your varsity pin
00:45:05.720 on her jacket
00:45:06.360 and, you know,
00:45:07.000 I don't know,
00:45:07.340 I don't know,
00:45:07.640 you take her up to
00:45:08.540 the sock hop
00:45:09.900 or something,
00:45:10.480 you know,
00:45:10.700 that would be another level.
00:45:11.780 And if you're,
00:45:12.220 if you're going to weddings
00:45:13.000 together,
00:45:13.820 if she knows your family,
00:45:15.660 if she has been incorporated
00:45:16.740 into your group of friends,
00:45:18.340 then that would be
00:45:19.420 another level.
00:45:20.080 And then I think
00:45:20.560 you probably don't need
00:45:21.480 to talk about it too much.
00:45:23.400 I mean,
00:45:23.580 if you find out
00:45:24.060 that she's dating other guys
00:45:25.220 while doing all of that,
00:45:26.500 then, you know,
00:45:26.920 she might not be the gal for you.
00:45:29.140 There's much more to get to,
00:45:30.320 many more mailbag questions.
00:45:31.740 The rest of the show
