00:00:37.680 As Americans grow weary of funding endless wars overseas, Democrat warmongers have raised the stakes.

00:00:43.940 In a Senate briefing yesterday, Democrat Senator Jack Reed told Joe Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin,

00:00:49.260 quote,

00:00:49.740 In one sense, this comes down to a choice between lending Ukraine the tools to do the job or seeing young Americans facing combat.

00:01:00.120 To which our Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, replied,

00:01:04.480 I agree, Senator.

00:01:06.580 To which I respond,

00:01:09.280 How about we do?

00:01:11.140 Neither.

00:01:12.680 How about that?

00:01:13.760 I'm not a senator, not the Defense Secretary, but

00:01:15.940 makes sense to me.

00:01:17.380 Okay, war is on a lot of people's minds these days as the war in Ukraine approaches its third year with no end in sight.

00:01:24.060 And the new war in the Middle East completes its third week, also with no end in sight.

00:01:28.920 War is a fact of human affairs.

00:01:31.360 There always seems to be some war somewhere for some reason.

00:01:35.900 And sometimes there are world wars for lots of reasons.

00:01:39.380 But we don't need to fight in every war.

00:01:42.540 Not every war needs to be our war.

00:01:49.000 I've been thinking about this more seriously of late than I ever have, probably because I have two little boys.

00:01:54.840 And I am now firmly of the opinion that I will oppose any politician who in any way thinks it is a good idea to send my boys or any other American boys overseas to go fight for abstractions in Ukraine or Israel or any other hotspot that tickles the fancy of the self-styled grand strategists in Washington, D.C.

00:02:16.080 There is no vital American interest at stake in either Ukraine or Israel.

00:02:22.460 I like both countries.

00:02:24.140 I have immense pity for the innocent people harmed in the wars.

00:02:28.500 But these types of wars are not new.

00:02:31.340 Both countries are currently fighting the latest stages of territorial wars that have persisted throughout many centuries.

00:02:38.320 More than a millennium in the case of Ukraine and multiple millennia in the case of the Holy Land. 0.54

00:02:44.720 I'm not opposed in principle to funding allies.

00:02:48.180 But as Democrats and the Washington Uni-Party broadly lose the blank check for the wars, they are presenting a false dichotomy.

00:02:56.520 They claim that the choice is either funding the fighting or sending your sons to fight and maybe die themselves.

00:03:04.840 Reject the false dichotomy.

00:03:06.360 America has plenty of vital interests.

00:03:10.420 Becoming enmeshed in intractable endless wars is not among them.

00:03:15.700 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:16.420 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:36.360 Welcome back to the show.

00:03:38.240 There's a new fellow on the block who demands being called ma'am at a restaurant.

00:03:42.180 We will get to that very important breaking TikTok story.

00:03:44.920 First, though, speaking of Israel's war funding, the hits just keep coming from the new speaker, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives.

00:03:54.180 Because we're about to enter into a period of debate over the war in Ukraine and the war in Israel and potentially a war over Taiwan with China.

00:04:02.460 And as we debate the funding, I have no problem funding allies as they fight wars when it is in America's national interest.

00:04:13.200 And there will be a robust debate over whether or not such funding is in America's interest.

00:04:17.760 But when the warmongering uniparty tries to threaten you, that's what it is.

00:04:23.280 It's threatening you.

00:04:23.980 It's saying, hey, give us your money or we're going to go send your boys to die overseas for wars of abstractions that don't touch on vital American interests.

00:04:31.060 That needs to be rejected outright.

00:04:32.760 And those politicians who would dare do such a thing need to be thrown out of Washington, D.C. and out of public life.

00:04:39.600 Now, the new speaker of the House of Representatives, this Republican Mike Johnson, he is a much wiser man than all of that.

00:04:48.420 And while he is pushing for funding, for funding Israel at least, and you'll notice not quite funding the war in Ukraine, notice how he does it.

00:04:58.740 Any sense of the number of Democrats who you think might come?

00:05:01.980 I hope that it's most or all of them.

00:05:04.500 I mean, there's a few people who have philosophical differences on that, and we'll have some intense debates about their opposition to that.

00:05:11.580 But, look, this is a matter of good versus evil.

00:05:14.220 I think what Prime Minister Netanyahu said just a couple of days ago is exactly right.

00:05:18.120 It's good versus evil.

00:05:19.400 It's light versus darkness.

00:05:20.780 We're going to have pay-fors in it.

00:05:22.480 We're not just going to print money and send it overseas because the other concern we have that is overriding this is our own strength as a nation, which is tied to our fiscal stability.

00:05:31.280 And that's a big problem that we have as well.

00:05:33.340 We have to keep it in mind as we try to help everyone else.

00:05:35.960 How is it going to be paid for?

00:05:37.560 We're going to be releasing that here shortly.

00:05:39.640 But my intention and my desire in the first draft of this bill is to take some of the money that has been set aside for the building and bulking up the IRS right now.

00:05:49.000 They have about $67 billion in that fund, and we'll try to take the $14.5 billion necessary for this immediate and urgent need.

00:05:55.560 We'll deal with the rest of that issue later.

00:05:58.320 This is a clever guy.

00:06:00.180 This is a really, really clever guy.

00:06:03.380 First, he says, we're going to fund the war in Israel.

00:06:06.680 We're going to fund our ally Israel.

00:06:08.280 We've got to get this done right away because Israel faces an existential threat, a new war of independence. 0.70

00:06:12.300 So he's bringing this issue to the floor, which will split the Democrats.

00:06:17.780 It's a wedge issue for the Democrats.

00:06:20.260 The elite, you can't call them, they're not all that moderate, but moderate by Democrat standards people, they're going to support Israel. 0.55

00:06:27.680 The radical leftist young Democrats are going to oppose Israel because they support Palestine and probably support Hamas, a lot of them. 0.90

00:06:39.080 That's a good wedge issue to hit the Democrats on, get them on the record.

00:06:42.720 It's going to be a loser either way.

00:06:44.400 Either they're going to vote with Israel and lose their base, or they're going to vote against Israel and lose their donors and the more clubbable members of the Democrat Party.

00:06:52.480 Either way, though, they lose something.

00:06:53.840 So politically, that's very clever.

00:06:55.160 It's also clever because by rushing the Israel funding, you decouple Israel funding from Ukraine.

00:07:00.680 The Ukraine funding is deeply unpopular.

00:07:02.560 Most Americans don't want to fund that war.

00:07:04.920 Probably most Americans are fine funding Israel.

00:07:08.040 So it's a nice way to split those things off there.

00:07:11.220 And then this guy manages to score a third win here, which is he says, look, we have to be fiscally responsible, of course.

00:07:19.160 We need to offset this funding.

00:07:20.360 Yeah, I agree.

00:07:20.900 We're not just going to have the money printer go burr and give that money overseas for intractable land wars.

00:07:27.020 No, no.

00:07:28.220 We need to offset it.

00:07:29.100 How about we pull it from the IRS?

00:07:31.280 And he even picked the perfect government agency to take it from.

00:07:34.400 Because if he said, I want to take it from the EPA or the Department of Education or any other of these bloated federal agencies that don't do very much good and do a lot of harm.

00:07:46.660 Some people are going to say, well, I like the environment.

00:07:48.720 Don't defund the EPA.

00:07:49.700 Somebody's going to say, well, I like education.

00:07:51.220 Don't defund the education agency.

00:07:54.700 Don't do that, please.

00:07:56.880 But everyone hates the IRS.

00:07:58.600 Everyone hates the IRS.

00:07:59.980 Everyone hates bank taxes.

00:08:01.360 Everyone knows that the IRS is bloated.

00:08:04.240 The fact that they've just added many, many new IRS agents, some of whom are apparently going to have guns, to come and take more of our money.

00:08:10.860 That's the perfect one to pull it from.

00:08:12.520 And so it'll probably still get shot down, certainly by Joe Biden, but even by a lot of Democrats in the House.

00:08:18.620 But it'll get those Democrats on the record.

00:08:20.780 I think this new speaker is a pretty clever guy.

00:08:23.800 And the libs hate him.

00:08:26.060 They hate him so much.

00:08:28.220 The libs kind of like John Boehner.

00:08:30.280 The libs kind of like Paul Ryan.

00:08:32.360 The libs are a little less favorable, but still are not – they don't totally hate Kevin McCarthy.

00:08:39.200 See, the libs have probably forgotten about how much they hated Newt Gingrich, so they're okay with Newt Gingrich broadly, I think.

00:08:47.160 But this guy, Mike Johnson, they hate him.

00:08:49.340 Here's the big scoop from liberal David Korn over at Mother Jones. 0.91

00:08:54.760 The scoop is that Mike Johnson is such a crazy religious fanatic right-winger that he urged a religious test for politicians.

00:09:03.300 I'm just going to read verbatim what Mother Jones writes.

00:09:07.120 Though Johnson is now second in the line of presidential succession, we're still finding out basic and important facts about him and how he sees the world.

00:09:14.860 This includes his alarming record as a hardcore conservative cultural warrior.

00:09:20.440 Great.

00:09:20.920 I'm not a fundamentalist per se, but broadly speaking – yeah, that's good.

00:09:28.500 Christian belief.

00:09:29.120 That's very good.

00:09:30.260 Who has fiercely opposed gay rights?

00:09:32.920 Here we go.

00:09:33.660 All right.

00:09:34.100 We're talking now, baby. 0.99

00:09:35.380 Comparing homosexuality to pedophilia. 0.96

00:09:37.880 Called for a total nationwide ban on abortion. 0.97

00:09:40.560 Great.

00:09:41.240 Proposed the end of no-fault divorce.

00:09:43.180 Awesome.

00:09:44.140 Urged to return to 18th century values.

00:09:46.580 I guess the only reason I don't like that as much is I would prefer a return to 13th century values.

00:09:52.600 But 18th century values, I guess, would be an improvement. 0.95

00:09:56.160 Mother Jones goes on.

00:09:58.100 One more significant thing I've discovered is that Johnson appears to believe in a religious litmus test for politicians.

00:10:04.920 Now, hold on.

00:10:05.960 This part actually could be unconstitutional.

00:10:08.200 The Constitution is very clear.

00:10:09.780 There will be no religious test for public office.

00:10:12.740 So has Mike Johnson here veered into some unconstitutional advocacy?

00:10:19.100 Well, what does he mean by a religious litmus test?

00:10:22.080 Mother Jones goes on.

00:10:23.320 Johnson and his wife, Kelly Johnson, a self-described Christian counselor, a few years ago created a seminar that promoted the premise that the U.S. has been a Christian nation.

00:10:30.940 Well, that's just obviously true.

00:10:35.700 All of the great statesmen in American history have said that exact thing.

00:10:39.860 Going back to the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock in 1620. 0.97

00:10:43.840 Going to Governor Winthrop, a model of Christian charity.

00:10:46.040 Going to the Founding Fathers who invoked God all the time.

00:10:48.900 Going to John Adams who said that the morality of America will be the Christian morality.

00:10:54.140 Who said that the Constitution is built for a moral and religious people by which he meant a Christian people.

00:10:58.220 John Jay who said that we shouldn't even elect non-Christians.

00:11:01.820 But, you know, obviously the Constitution prohibited a religious test.

00:11:06.000 Much could be said about that.

00:11:07.400 But going all the way up to Ronald Reagan who said that America is a shiny city on a hill.

00:11:12.380 Going up to our Pledge of Allegiance.

00:11:13.700 Going up to all of American public life.

00:11:15.240 We're obviously a Christian country.

00:11:17.660 So is that what they mean?

00:11:18.440 No.

00:11:18.620 He goes on.

00:11:20.040 Mother Jones says, the Johnsons are diehard fundamentalists who believe every religion other than their brand of Christianity is false.

00:11:28.220 Yes, that's what having a religion means.

00:11:33.580 That's what having a belief in anything means.

00:11:36.000 Forget it.

00:11:36.360 Even put religion aside for a second.

00:11:38.480 If you believe in a certain conception of physics, then you believe that every other conception of physics is false.

00:11:46.760 If you believe in the heliocentric model of the cosmos, then you think that the geocentric model and all the other ones that contradict the heliocentric model are false.

00:11:59.420 That's just called the law of non-contradiction.

00:12:01.400 If you believe something, then you disbelieve in things that contradict the thing that you believe in.

00:12:05.480 That's not unique to Mike Johnson's brand of fundamentalist Christianity.

00:12:11.220 That's not unique to Christianity.

00:12:13.020 That's not unique.

00:12:14.500 That's called thinking and having a belief in anything, about anything.

00:12:19.840 But then they get down to it, okay?

00:12:21.320 They get down to what Mike Johnson has done that violates the prohibition against a religious test.

00:12:30.360 First, though, just as Mother Jones says that Mike Johnson doesn't look very good, when you want to look good, you've got to check out GenuCell.

00:13:46.380 Okay, here it is.

00:13:47.340 This is what Mother Jones says is so terrifying about the new Republican Speaker of the House.

00:13:53.460 This is the proof that he wants a religious litmus test for public office.

00:13:57.060 He writes, you better sit down, any candidate, this is what Mike Johnson has said, you better

00:14:04.340 sit down any candidate who says they're going to run for legislature and say, I want to know

00:14:08.580 what your worldview is.

00:14:09.720 I want to know what, to know what you're thinking about the Christian heritage of this country.

00:14:14.400 I want to know what you think about God's design for society.

00:14:16.940 Have you ever thought about that?

00:14:18.840 If they hadn't thought about it, you need to move on and find somebody who has.

00:14:21.960 We have too many people in government who don't know any of this stuff.

00:14:23.980 They haven't even thought about it.

00:14:26.780 So that's Mike Johnson's advice to voters.

00:14:31.100 Mike Johnson tells voters, hey, you should vote for people who think like me, not people

00:14:37.120 who disagree with how I think.

00:14:39.260 So Mike Johnson just told voters what every single politician has always told voters, regardless

00:14:46.780 of party or belief.

00:14:47.980 The proof that he's totally unacceptable and unconstitutional and evil and scary is that

00:14:54.860 he says the same things that every politician has always said.

00:15:00.380 Hmm.

00:15:02.040 Hmm.

00:15:02.920 That's, that's, that's not a very strong case, is it?

00:15:06.480 Now, gearing in here on what those substantive beliefs, beliefs are, we look at all of them.

00:15:14.480 They're, they're just, they're generally pretty great.

00:15:18.340 Is this guy, is this guy the greatest speaker of the house we've ever had?

00:15:21.300 I know he's only been in office for about five minutes now, but this guy seems right on

00:15:25.780 the money.

00:15:26.360 As all the squish Republicans, all the so-called conservatives decide that they're going to 0.60

00:15:31.700 make their biggest fight defending the Democrat status quo of five years ago.

00:15:36.760 You've got this guy who's just saying true things, things that have been true forever and

00:15:41.600 that will always be true and he's not afraid to say it.

00:15:44.060 This guy seems terrific.

00:15:45.860 This guy, I'm, I'm sure he'll disappoint me or I fear that he'll disappoint me like all

00:15:49.800 politicians disappoint us.

00:15:50.860 But generally speaking, I think this guy's terrific.

00:15:53.980 I'm very, I'm very pro Mike Johnson.

00:15:57.180 Because Mike Johnson's very pro God and that's good.

00:15:59.640 I like that.

00:16:00.320 Speaking of God, Matthew Perry, rest in peace.

00:16:04.100 And he's going around the internet in all of these clips of him and some of his final

00:16:09.940 days and years.

00:16:11.020 And there's one clip that's particularly poignant where Matthew Perry is discussing what he

00:16:16.440 thinks about God.

00:16:17.900 I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which you having read the book, you would know

00:16:22.640 what that is.

00:16:23.480 But it's a, it's.

00:16:25.100 No, I did.

00:16:26.100 I took notes.

00:16:27.140 I underlined it.

00:16:28.140 Oh no, I believe you.

00:16:29.000 Um, but they call that a hail Mary.

00:16:32.520 That's what they do when, uh, they put you on an ECMO machine when it's a hail Mary and

00:16:37.320 five people were on ECMO that night and the other four died and I somehow made it.

00:16:43.080 Well, um, what God is a, is a fan.

00:16:46.240 Yeah.

00:16:46.520 I mean, I know you're feeling about that.

00:16:49.300 Um, but I, I know that I'm a fan.

00:16:53.680 Maybe I'm okay.

00:16:54.500 I, I know that, uh, once you've referred to it as a force and, you know, I believe,

00:17:00.880 I believe that I believe that a higher path, there is higher power.

00:17:04.240 Right.

00:17:04.720 I believe I've got a very close relationship with him.

00:17:07.460 That's helped me a lot.

00:17:08.700 And somebody's on your side.

00:17:10.440 Yeah.

00:17:11.560 This is really nice.

00:17:13.000 Some people are going to recoil just a little bit from Matthew Perry using this vague language

00:17:18.240 of a higher power.

00:17:19.640 But first of all, he's talking to Bill Maher, who's one of the most famous atheists in the

00:17:23.220 country.

00:17:23.580 So I think he's just trying to get through to him a little bit.

00:17:26.140 It's not a debate that they're having.

00:17:27.400 He's just trying to convey this here.

00:17:28.980 And then even when he says, look, you've talked about like a force, Bill.

00:17:32.100 Well, yeah, that's kind of what I believe in.

00:17:34.200 And I think I have a close relationship with him.

00:17:37.760 So there you see, he tips his hand.

00:17:40.200 He's not talking about some abstract force.

00:17:42.340 He's talking about a personal God.

00:17:44.480 And he says, I think I have a close relationship with him and that has helped me a lot.

00:17:51.380 And I, I don't doubt him.

00:17:54.280 I didn't read Matthew Perry's book.

00:17:56.260 Drew read it.

00:17:57.560 And after he read it, he called me or I saw him.

00:18:00.900 He said, he was like, you got to read Matthew Perry's book.

00:18:03.220 I said, what?

00:18:04.660 Why?

00:18:05.320 He said, it's really poignant.

00:18:06.860 And it's, it's, it's, it's just, it's so illuminating.

00:18:10.180 And he, he described a scene in Perry's life from the book.

00:18:14.080 It was the first time Perry prayed.

00:18:16.040 He apparently said, please, God, make me famous.

00:18:18.960 You can do anything you want to me.

00:18:20.880 Just make me famous.

00:18:22.180 And three weeks later, the guy gets cast in Friends, one of the biggest TV shows of all time.

00:18:31.040 And God did not forget about it.

00:18:33.140 This reminds me of a famous verse of scripture, which is ask and it shall be given to you.

00:18:41.160 Which is why you've got to be careful of what you ask for.

00:18:46.040 Because when we make an idol out of something and we desire that thing above all things,

00:18:51.660 we get it.

00:18:53.060 And then we're the dog that caught the car.

00:18:54.660 And sometimes that thing is not for our flourishing.

00:18:59.080 It's not been in our best interest.

00:19:00.500 And sometimes that thing can destroy us.

00:19:02.720 That happens all the time with fame in Hollywood.

00:19:05.500 I'm not sure that I can name, I know a lot of very successful actors because I lived in LA for a long time

00:19:10.740 and been around show business a little bit.

00:19:13.620 And I don't know that I could name a single happy one.

00:19:18.300 Maybe, maybe a handful of exceptions.

00:19:20.600 Maybe.

00:19:22.380 I know I'm talking successful guys.

00:19:23.640 I'm not talking about unsuccessful guys.

00:19:25.420 You've got to be very, very careful for what you wish for.

00:19:31.520 There have been things that I've desired in life that I haven't gotten,

00:19:33.980 that I was really upset about that I didn't get.

00:19:35.840 And then in retrospect, I think, oh, that would have ruined my life had I gotten that.

00:19:39.940 My life is so much better now because God had a better plan than I did.

00:19:43.260 And so Matthew Perry said, apparently in some of his final days, he said,

00:19:46.600 I know that when I die, I'm just going to be remembered as Chandler Bing from Friends.

00:19:50.000 But I hope I'm remembered for more than that.

00:19:51.680 And just how I've tried to help people and helped addicts and things like that.

00:19:55.300 And that might be true.

00:19:58.340 He probably won't.

00:19:59.140 He'll be remembered as Chandler Bing.

00:20:00.820 But he might be remembered for some of these poignant things.

00:20:04.240 I mean, the fact that his book was such a big hit and it was so helpful.

00:20:07.340 And it came out just shortly before he died.

00:20:11.740 That's good.

00:20:12.280 And it's a consolation that the guy had a relationship with God.

00:20:15.760 You know, we hope that everyone comes into the fullness of truth.

00:20:18.200 But any little step in the right direction is hopeful.

00:20:21.960 And it's why especially troubled people can be great guides for the rest of us.

00:20:30.020 Because we see the logical consequences of vice and sin.

00:20:33.580 They know it better than anybody.

00:20:34.860 You know, and so they're often the ones who are some of the best evangelists.

00:20:40.000 So anyway, worth praying for Matthew Perry and a really poignant end to an unexpected end to a career that's basically known for some catchphrases from a 90s sitcom.

00:20:52.600 Now, speaking of things that really matter, you know, we all want to store our gold up in heaven.

00:22:16.640 Faith Moore, Drew Klavan's very talented daughter, has written a new rendition of the age-old Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol, except this time, it's with a K.

00:22:25.580 It's a modern twist on the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, except with a female protagonist.

00:22:31.780 In a world where boss babes are championed at the expense of family, faith is making the case that having what matters is far better than having it all.

00:22:38.800 A Christmas Carol, now available for pre-order, order yours on Amazon or wherever you get your books today.

00:22:44.720 Speaking of troubled people, a top advisor to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is reportedly saying that Ukraine officials are stealing that aid money that we're all sending over to them like there is no tomorrow.

00:23:01.700 Speaking anonymously to Time Magazine, this person who reportedly is a top presidential advisor to Zelensky said that the Ukraine government is powerless to stop this kind of corruption.

00:23:13.320 He says people are stealing like there's no tomorrow and officials do not feel any fear of engaging in corruption because the firing of the corrupt former minister of defense took over six months and it just didn't really matter that much.

00:23:29.000 So they don't have any fear at all.

00:23:30.260 And this really matters, not because any corruption whatsoever is evidence that we need to cut off all aid and let the dogs devour them, but because it suggests that Ukraine is not capable of winning this war and sustaining the peace.

00:23:46.100 I've never understood the argument that Ukraine was capable of beating Russia in the long run, other than the United States occupying Ukraine and fighting the war for them.

00:23:57.740 I've never seen anything even resembling a military analysis that would suggest that Ukraine could win the war and sustain the peace.

00:24:05.180 And part of the reason for that is the longstanding problem of corruption in the Ukraine government.

00:24:11.960 These guys are willing to just steal from the aid money rather than put it into bullets and guns and weapons and support for the citizens of Ukraine.

00:24:20.480 They're going to keep stealing because it's been a kleptocracy for a very long time. 0.98

00:24:23.900 And this is a problem for us when we consider our investment in Ukraine, especially in light of the problems in Afghanistan.

00:24:30.160 Afghanistan, the most shocking thing about the withdrawal from Afghanistan for a lot of people was not even that horrific attack on the base that left Americans dead, left a lot of Afghanis dead, just as the U.S. was pulling out.

00:24:44.760 It wasn't even that we left billions of dollars worth of military equipment there, just abandoned it, ended up going to the Taliban.

00:24:51.240 Now it's probably being used in the war in the Holy Land.

00:24:53.360 And the most shocking thing for a lot of people was that the Afghan National Army never put up a fight.

00:25:01.120 The minute that the Afghan National Army, which we spent decades training, funding, fighting alongside, the minute that they had to fight on their own, they folded within hours.

00:25:12.000 They just abandoned their posts, abandoned their weapons, abandoned their uniforms.

00:25:15.140 They were done.

00:25:16.000 They didn't want to fight.

00:25:16.800 And if you had ever read any of the reports coming out of Afghanistan, especially from the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction, CIGAR, which coincidentally was the name of my college cigar club, the Society for Intellectual Growth and Reinvigoration, also CIGAR spelled the same way.

00:25:33.300 It's why I would get a lot of notifications for the Special Inspector General.

00:25:37.060 If you ever read those reports, you would see the problems with the Afghan National Army were so obvious.

00:25:41.880 One, they lied about the size of the army because they artificially inflated the numbers so that they could get more military aid.

00:25:49.440 You would hear reports from American soldiers of these Afghan soldiers just being high all the time on poppy and heroin.

00:25:55.340 And they wouldn't really do very much.

00:25:56.960 And they would sometimes engage in friendly fire.

00:25:59.080 And it was just – it was not – I don't mean to besmirch the Afghan National Army.

00:26:02.340 I'm sure there were plenty of brave fighters there too.

00:26:04.720 But the Afghan National Army as a whole was never going to work.

00:26:08.420 It was never going to sustain the peace.

00:26:10.500 And so Afghanistan was always going to fall the minute America pulled out. 0.88

00:26:14.420 So the only options were occupy Afghanistan indefinitely and just make it the 51st state or make it an overseas territory in our American colony or pull out and give it up to the Taliban the second we leave. 0.88

00:26:26.820 But those were the choices.

00:26:29.260 And to somewhat of a lesser degree, though not much of a lesser degree, that seems to be the case in Ukraine.

00:26:36.600 Whenever we stop funding this war, the war is over.

00:26:40.500 And it might not be on terms that we like, might not be on terms that are happy for Ukraine.

00:26:46.800 But the Ukrainians cannot fight on their own. 0.87

00:26:50.720 And with corruption like this, it's hard to see how they could govern on their own, even if they managed to stop the invasion from Russia.

00:26:57.740 Speaking of American affairs overseas, Governor Patrick Bateman, doing business as Gavin Newsom of California, has taken a trip to China because he's obviously running for president.

00:27:09.840 He's pretending that he's there on some climate initiative for California.

00:27:12.580 But he's just there to meet with Xi Jinping to position himself as a potential president.

00:27:17.080 And as part of his trip, he decided to play a basketball game with some nice little Chinese boys.

00:27:22.840 And he decided, when one of them was challenging his hoops a little bit too much, that he would tackle one of the boys.

00:27:30.800 So you see here, Governor Bateman, he's dribbling, trying to spin it on his finger.

00:27:34.680 That didn't work.

00:27:35.260 He's trying to spin it.

00:27:35.840 Okay, he spins a little bit again.

00:27:37.660 Dribbling around.

00:27:38.800 Does a little twist.

00:27:39.580 Does a little turn.

00:27:40.320 And then he just tackles this Chinese boy. 0.52

00:27:44.000 He got in his way.

00:27:44.820 And then Newsom recovers pretty well.

00:27:46.960 They're laughing.

00:27:47.660 He kind of pats the kid on the back, hugs him a little.

00:27:50.060 So he's a good politician, Gavin Newsom.

00:27:51.800 But he just destroyed that little Chinese. 1.00

00:27:55.340 That little Chinese child got just a couple inches in the way of something that Gavin Newsom wanted, in this case, winning a basketball game.

00:28:04.700 And Newsom just wrecked this kid, took him to the pavement.

00:28:08.360 Can you even imagine what he's going to do to Joe Biden?

00:28:10.700 If Gavin Newsom is willing to do this to a Chinese child to win a basketball game, what is he going to do to geriatric Joe Biden to win the presidency?

00:28:21.400 A lot more than tackle him, I bet.

00:28:23.460 That guy, that guy is ruthless.

00:28:27.760 Ruthless.

00:28:28.860 Now, speaking of psychopathy, it's that time of the month for a man in a dress to make a nuisance of himself and yell at people and demand that they call him ma'am.

00:28:39.660 This seems to recur with some frequency.

00:28:42.620 And here we have it again. 0.96

00:28:43.760 Some fella who goes to restaurants and then he records himself berating waiters and waitresses and restaurant managers for not indulging in his ridiculous fantasy that he's a woman. 0.97

00:28:59.140 It looks like he's having a nice feast. 0.92

00:29:02.800 She, her.

00:29:03.520 Yeah.

00:29:04.420 It's okay.

00:29:05.060 It's all good.

00:29:05.600 But it was not all good.

00:29:08.060 Hi.

00:29:08.460 I use she, her pronouns.

00:29:10.260 I'm not sir.

00:29:10.960 Oh, so sorry.

00:29:11.680 Yeah.

00:29:11.900 Like it's like a knife in the heart.

00:29:14.220 It's okay.

00:29:15.120 I also, I did specifically ask ahead of time not to be called sir.

00:29:18.960 Yeah.

00:29:19.400 I'm just going to go.

00:29:23.700 Okay.

00:29:24.260 Okay.

00:29:24.700 The sweet water starts it.

00:29:25.920 Yes, sir.

00:29:26.600 Not, not.

00:29:27.380 I mean, I'm so sorry.

00:29:28.520 I apologize.

00:29:29.760 You're just always like a knife.

00:29:31.360 It always hurts.

00:29:32.560 Every single time.

00:29:33.800 I was wondering if there's a manager I could talk to about something that happened.

00:29:36.480 Yeah, I, I was called sir.

00:29:38.620 Oh. 0.89

00:29:39.340 It just really sucks every time it happens.

00:29:41.540 I'm sorry about that.

00:29:42.680 I don't need to be called ma'am.

00:29:44.220 I just need to not be called sir.

00:29:45.980 You know?

00:29:46.480 Thank you.

00:29:48.460 Did you call me sir?

00:29:49.480 I, I just want to tell you that the person who gave me this called me sir.

00:29:55.840 What?

00:29:56.580 Called me sir.

00:29:57.700 Oh.

00:30:00.800 It's just like, it kind of just hurts a lot to get called sir.

00:30:05.140 It hurts.

00:30:05.460 Oh, sorry about that.

00:30:06.380 Why do you think people keep calling you sir?

00:30:12.080 Why, do you know, what an amazing degree of navel gazing.

00:30:17.540 It's the meme from the Simpsons is what this is.

00:30:20.300 Where this guy goes out into the world and every single person reacts to him in a certain way.

00:30:28.440 In the same way.

00:30:29.380 But he says, no, you're all wrong.

00:30:33.900 I don't want you to react to me that way.

00:30:36.120 The thing that you're saying about me is not true.

00:30:38.840 What is more likely?

00:30:39.940 That every single person that this man meets is wrong.

00:30:45.440 Or that he is wrong.

00:30:47.280 Which is more likely?

00:30:48.240 It's the meme from the Simpsons of Principal Skinner.

00:30:52.380 Doing a little bit of soul searching.

00:30:53.800 He says, is it possible that I'm out of touch?

00:30:56.980 No, the children must be wrong.

00:30:59.240 No, it must be everybody else.

00:31:01.020 It could not possibly be that I am wrong or that I have any defect of intellect or will.

00:31:07.560 And what this is about, moving on from the intellect to the will,

00:31:10.700 is not even that he thinks that he's a woman.

00:31:12.680 He knows that he's not a woman. 0.95

00:31:14.900 It's the willfulness.

00:31:16.920 It's the desire to berate these people.

00:31:19.560 To make a scene.

00:31:21.580 It's the power that he can lord over these waiters and waitresses.

00:31:26.640 These people who don't make a ton of money.

00:31:28.720 Who have relatively little power within their professional life.

00:31:33.480 And this guy gets off on berating them.

00:31:36.060 And making them feel small and powerless.

00:31:38.420 That's the fetish. 0.99

00:31:39.580 That's the, that's a part of it.

00:31:41.120 I'm sure there's more to it.

00:31:42.800 But a big part of it, beyond the dressing up and the putting on the makeup and looking like a maniac.

00:31:48.620 A big part of this fetish is lording power over people.

00:31:54.200 And saying, you will lie.

00:31:57.280 You will lie for me.

00:31:59.040 You do it.

00:31:59.960 Do what I say.

00:32:01.240 Do what I say.

00:32:02.060 And if you don't do what I say, I'm going to call the manager.

00:32:03.780 I'm going to get you fired. 1.00

00:32:05.240 You will. 0.81

00:32:06.440 When you have to choose between reality and me, you're going to pick me.

00:32:10.840 When you have to choose between telling the truth and lying for me, you're going to lie for me.

00:32:15.940 That's what, that's what this man is demanding. 0.91

00:32:17.660 And because the whole thing just is a sexual fetish, that at its most basic level, that's what this is.

00:32:25.260 That's very likely part of it.

00:32:28.140 Power is, power is a great aphrodisiac, as Henry Kissinger famously said.

00:32:33.260 It's a good argument as to why we shouldn't indulge these kinds of things anymore, either.

00:32:38.700 At all, in public life.

00:32:40.500 We had to drive out the whole ideology.

00:32:42.120 We had to be eradicated entirely from public life, from top to bottom, for the good of society, and especially for the good of people like this.

00:32:49.660 No one's helping this guy by indulging his intellectual and willful defects.

00:32:58.720 Is there any wonder, looking at something like that, that people want to withdraw from the mainstream liberal culture?

00:33:05.000 It's true in entertainment.

00:33:06.440 It's true in the news media.

00:33:07.920 People have found alternatives all over the place.

00:33:10.520 It's true in political candidates.

00:33:13.260 You saw, you saw the dam start to break, especially with the nomination of Donald Trump, who came out of left field, who was totally different from the kinds of Republican candidates we'd seen in my whole lifetime.

00:33:25.540 You're seeing a little bit with the Democrats.

00:33:28.420 Bobby Kennedy Jr. polling around 20% would be an example of that.

00:33:32.360 And you're seeing it especially in education.

00:33:34.820 And the Washington Post is trying to figure this out.

00:33:36.540 Since COVID especially, more and more people have been taking their kids out of the schools, most of the public schools, even some of the private schools, and homeschooling them.

00:33:47.760 And homeschooling, especially when I was a kid, homeschooling was a thing that just those weird conservative Christians did. 0.80

00:33:53.100 That's not the sort of thing that normal, posh, clubbable people would do.

00:33:57.120 Well, now a lot of people are homeschooling.

00:33:59.980 Why is this?

00:34:01.280 The Washington Post is just engaged in an examination of this.

00:34:06.720 They say, oh, we're trying to figure it out.

00:34:08.400 Number one, even as the pandemic eased, homeschooling persisted.

00:34:14.140 So they tried it out because of COVID, but then they stuck with it.

00:34:18.420 They didn't just send the kids back to school when the schools reopened.

00:34:21.720 Homeschooling comes off as fringe.

00:34:24.100 Well, it used to be fringe.

00:34:28.460 Now that is no longer the case.

00:34:32.540 Homeschooling is on the rise in all sorts of places, not just down south, not just in those hillbilly, deplorable, irredeemable countries of the Trump boat and whatever the liberals think.

00:34:41.980 It's all over the place.

00:34:43.780 Religion is no longer the sole driver of it.

00:34:47.720 Used to be just Christian conservatives, now people who are not conservative, people who are not Christian, are sending their kids to, are keeping their kids home and homeschooling them also.

00:34:57.860 Homeschoolers are more diverse than ever, racially and across all sorts of demographics.

00:35:02.500 And then here's an interesting one.

00:35:03.660 Parents do less and less of the teaching.

00:35:07.020 Meaning they'll form little pods with different families, and sometimes they'll form even miniature schools.

00:35:13.180 And then that will, but it will be separate from a public school, and it'll be separate even from the private schools.

00:35:20.000 So what does this mean?

00:35:21.880 It means this is the fastest growing part of the U.S. education system, as even the Washington Post found.

00:35:27.240 And it means that it'll probably persist.

00:35:29.780 But that last part, I think, is key here.

00:35:32.700 Because I'd compare it to Airbnb.

00:35:35.480 Remember, people used to stay at these things called hotels and motels.

00:35:40.360 That's where, if you were out of town and traveling somewhere, and you needed a place to stay at, you'd stay at what was called a hotel or a motel.

00:35:45.480 Then Airbnb came around, and a lot of people said, wow, I don't need to stay at a hotel anymore.

00:35:49.480 I don't need to pay all sorts of fees.

00:35:50.880 I can, you know, just stay in some guy's house or his apartment.

00:35:54.260 Maybe he's got an extra apartment, and I'll just pay him, and I can use all of his facilities.

00:35:58.760 It's kind of fun, and it's a little cheaper, and it's, wow, this is cool.

00:36:01.500 But then Airbnb started adding cleaning fees and started adding this fee and that fee and putting limits on how you could use it and what time you checked in.

00:36:10.640 And all of a sudden, it didn't seem to be such a great value anymore.

00:36:14.780 And so people started returning to hotels and motels.

00:36:17.400 I could see the same thing happening for homeschooling if homeschooling is not driven by an ideological or religious motive.

00:36:25.060 If it's just because people got a little freaked out during COVID, and they lost some respect for the teacher unions, and they saw some weird stuff their kids were being taught, but they don't deeply object to it.

00:36:34.580 They just thought it was kind of weird.

00:36:35.560 And if they just kind of grow these homeschools from their homes to their communities to these miniature schools, and all of a sudden, it's lots of different families, at a certain point, you're just going to – you've just created a small school, and you're just going to go back to the old kind of schooling unless you've got a strong ideological motive or religious motive for it.

00:36:56.680 If you've got a strong driver of why you're not going to send your kids to a public school, or even many of the private schools are infected, that, I think, is where it's going to persist.

00:37:07.580 So it will have been mainstreamed.

00:37:09.380 It will be more diverse.

00:37:10.380 It will be in all parts of the country.

00:37:13.240 Homeschooling is the way that people were schooled for most of human history.

00:37:18.300 The notion of widespread public school, that's the experiment.

00:37:21.740 That's the new thing.

00:37:23.240 So homeschooling is going to be mainstreamed.

00:37:25.520 But if people lose the strong motivations for why they would homeschool, at a certain point, those groups will probably just return to the regular old public or private schooling method.

00:37:38.800 My favorite comment yesterday is from Chuck Mowry, 5951, who says, I see YouTube is still doing the COVID-19 flag thing.

00:37:46.080 They do realize what the 19 stands for, right? 0.61

00:37:48.420 Yeah.

00:37:48.980 We're perpetually in 2019.

00:37:51.300 We're never going to get out of 2019.

00:37:53.040 They're not.

00:37:54.440 Because if they called it COVID-23, they would have to admit that they haven't really fixed anything.

00:38:00.380 And it would also seem a little odd.

00:38:02.400 Why does COVID keep cropping up only right before presidential election years?

00:38:06.120 Isn't that kind of strange?

00:38:07.380 I wonder why that is.

00:38:08.120 Is your home's title still in your name?

00:38:38.140 Now, speaking of schools, Cornell just issued an emergency alert for Jewish students.

00:38:46.480 So they issued this alert.

00:38:48.980 Cornell Hillel, a Jewish center, says they are aware of a threatening statement that was directed toward the building at 104 West, which houses the university's kosher and multicultural dining hall, as well as more generally toward Jewish students, faculty, and staff.

00:39:01.060 The Cornell University administration has been made aware of the concerning language, and the Cornell Police Department is monitoring the situation and is on site.

00:39:08.140 With additional security as a precaution.

00:39:10.080 At this time, we advise that students and staff avoid the building out of an abundance of caution.

00:39:15.080 We will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available.

00:39:18.220 Very bad stuff.

00:39:19.280 Now, part of this was made online, so it could be a hoax.

00:39:24.960 I don't think it's a hoax of Jewish students saying this about themselves.

00:39:29.660 I don't think so.

00:39:30.360 That has happened.

00:39:31.460 That sort of thing has happened.

00:39:32.640 Often, when there are anti-black statements written on a wall or the white supremacist symbols, that has often been a hoax in recent years especially.

00:39:43.940 In fact, I document a whole slew of them in my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds.

00:39:48.080 Thank you.

00:39:48.860 Same thing goes for anti-woman, threatening what is called rape culture statements. 0.98

00:39:54.740 Those have often proved to be hoaxes.

00:39:56.720 There haven't been a ton in recent American memory of Jewish students doing these things about themselves.

00:40:03.040 And we've seen a huge spike in anti-Jewish attacks and rhetoric.

00:40:06.980 So I think it could be – I don't think it would be them doing it to themselves.

00:40:11.980 But I could see it being sort of a hoax because it was online.

00:40:14.180 People online make all sorts of comments that don't really have any bearing in reality.

00:40:18.740 But if I were the Jewish students at Cornell, I would hunker down.

00:40:22.460 I would take it very, very seriously.

00:40:26.080 The timing of this is a little odd because I am going to Cornell on Monday.

00:40:30.940 I was invited to speak at Cornell.

00:40:32.620 A lot of the schools this semester, some of which are very prominent schools, have been dragging out the contracts because the students want me to come, but the administrations don't want me to come.

00:40:41.360 So we haven't announced a lot of my speaking tour this semester.

00:40:44.560 This one we're announcing last minute, but it's been in the works for a while, that I'll be going to Cornell.

00:40:48.100 And I don't know what it is.

00:40:49.540 I keep going to these schools when the terrorists show up.

00:40:54.140 So I was at Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh last semester, and I showed up when Antifa was threatening to harm all sorts of people and burn me in effigy on the street and threw an explosive at the building right as I went to walk on stage. 0.95

00:41:05.660 And now I'm showing up to Cornell days after they're threatening to kill the Jews.

00:41:10.940 So I guess that'll help form my talk.

00:41:15.760 Initially, I was thinking about speaking on, I don't know, some of the false premises of Enlightenment liberalism.

00:41:24.840 You could talk about the political philosophy of Donozo Cortez.

00:41:27.500 I find that interesting. 0.98

00:41:28.260 But I guess now I'll have to narrow it down to, actually, you shouldn't kill all the Jews. 0.95

00:41:35.140 That's one potential title.

00:41:37.180 Maybe you don't, in fact, have to hand it to Hamas.

00:41:41.120 Maybe that's a good title.

00:41:43.520 I don't know.

00:41:44.440 But I've got my work cut out for me.

00:41:46.200 And anyway, if you're around Ithaca next Monday, I will see you there.

00:41:50.460 Speaking of close encounters, Goldie Hawn.

00:41:54.760 You know, actress Goldie Hawn, a little bit eccentric. 0.62

00:41:58.600 Goldie Hawn has claimed that not only has she seen UFOs, but she's actually encountered them and they touched her face.

00:42:05.760 So, Goldie Hawn is in the camp of Matt Walsh on the aliens question.

00:42:15.360 The serious theologians and philosophers and rational people throughout all of history are in my camp on the alien question.

00:42:23.380 Goldie Hawn is in the Sweet Daddy's camp.

00:42:26.460 Here's what Goldie Hawn said.

00:42:30.000 She said, there was a time when, you know, there was a lot of UFO sightings.

00:42:33.720 I remember so clearly.

00:42:34.660 I went outside my door and I sat on a little edge and I looked up at the dark sky and I saw all these stars.

00:42:38.860 And all I could think of was, how far does this go?

00:42:40.580 How little are we?

00:42:41.580 Are we the only planet in this whole wide universe that has life on it?

00:42:45.600 I said, I know you're out there.

00:42:46.880 I know we're not alone.

00:42:47.880 And I would like to meet you one day.

00:42:49.260 Now, hold on.

00:42:50.260 Hold on.

00:42:51.100 The way she's talking to these aliens is not the way you would talk to aliens.

00:42:54.880 If aliens were really just beings, physical beings from some other planet.

00:43:02.380 Because they probably couldn't hear her, right?

00:43:04.420 Because she's not, because physical beings are constrained by physics.

00:43:10.340 The way she's talking to these aliens is the way you would talk to angels or demons who are pure spirit, who are not confined by physical laws.

00:43:19.600 When I'm trying to talk to Ben Davies, well, that's a bad example because I have a microphone sitting right here at my desk.

00:43:24.640 But if I were to talk to Jeremy, who's in Hungary right now, and I said, Jeremy, I know you can hear me.

00:43:29.880 He wouldn't be able to hear me because he's not within the proximity of my physical voice and he doesn't listen to my show.

00:43:37.400 So if I were talking to an angel, though, I could say, I know you hear me.

00:43:42.260 And I would have a greater cause to think that the angel could hear me because angels are pure spirit.

00:43:46.700 They're all around.

00:43:47.380 This woman's talking like she's talking to angels or demons. 0.96

00:43:52.520 She goes on.

00:43:53.160 She said, I know you're out there.

00:43:53.860 I want to meet you.

00:43:54.700 She invites them in.

00:43:56.380 Then she says later on, I get this high-pitched sound in my ear.

00:43:59.140 It was this high, high frequency.

00:44:00.980 She was taking a nap in her car.

00:44:02.320 She looks out the window and there's these two or three triangular-shaped heads on little bodies.

00:44:09.180 They were silver in color, slashed for a mouth, tiny little nose, no ears.

00:44:12.440 They were pointing at me, pointing at me in the car as if they were discussing me like I was a subject.

00:44:16.600 And they were droning.

00:44:17.840 I was paralyzed.

00:44:19.300 And I thought, oh my God, I want to get up.

00:44:22.060 I didn't know if it was real or not real.

00:44:23.980 Then she burst out of this state of paralysis and said it was like bursting out of a force field.

00:44:27.600 So there are two things that this could be, and they're not necessarily mutually exclusive.

00:44:31.180 What this could be, in a physical explanation, is that it could be sleep paralysis, which maybe you've had.

00:44:35.780 I've had sleep paralysis, where you wake up, but you can't move.

00:44:39.040 You're still kind of asleep.

00:44:40.040 But you think you're awake and you have hallucinations.

00:44:43.620 I've only experienced this, I don't know, a couple, two or three times maybe.

00:44:47.580 But you can sometimes hear something.

00:44:50.020 I've never visually hallucinated, but I've heard things in the state of sleep paralysis.

00:44:54.540 And then it's kind of scary.

00:44:55.920 And then you kind of snap out of it and you can move again.

00:44:58.440 And it's fine.

00:45:00.760 There's a spiritual answer here too, which is it could be that she was just looking at demons.

00:45:05.120 They sound a lot like demons.

00:45:06.380 And they kind of talk, her experience of it sounds like how everyone's described demons for all of human history.

00:45:11.480 So it could be that too.

00:45:13.720 Either way though, not a lot of strong evidence that it's aliens.

00:45:17.720 And either way, not the sort of thing that you want to invite.

00:45:21.740 Your move, Mr. Walsh.

00:45:22.960 Okay, today's Woke Wednesday.
