Ep. 1417 - Satan Is The Victim Of A Hate Crime？


Summary

Why do Americans vote for Trump? Is it because they like dirty syringes and excrement? Or because they don t like when millions of foreigners illegally flood into their country and invade their country? To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep voting for him. Psychologists may have the answer.

00:00:30.340 Hans-Georg Maasen, Germany's former head of the office to counter right-wing extremism,
00:00:35.880 is now reportedly under investigation for right-wing extremism.
00:00:41.180 Kind of funny, huh?
00:00:42.320 According to the press, Maasen has landed on the wrong side of the office he used to lead
00:00:47.020 because of his, quote, increasingly radical commentary on mass migration into Germany.
00:00:55.020 The man spent a lot of time researching what is going on in Germany,
00:00:58.580 and after learning a lot, he ended up on the right.
00:01:01.840 Now, I am not particularly interested in German politics,
00:01:05.340 but I am interested in the political principle that can be deduced from this case.
00:01:11.000 Namely, that the greatest predictor of right-wing extremism today is knowledge of politics.
00:01:18.960 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:20.380 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:21.240 Welcome back to the show.
00:01:42.400 Elmo asked people how we were doing, and the internet broke down over it.
00:01:47.620 We'll get to Elmo in just a second.
00:01:49.600 First, though, speaking of the threat from the far right and trying to make sense of these
00:01:55.380 far right-wing extremists, The Guardian has a helpful guide out.
00:02:01.560 The Guardian has a headline,
00:02:03.440 To beat Trump, we need to know why Americans keep voting for him.
00:02:08.600 Psychologists may have the answer.
00:02:12.160 They're asking psychologists.
00:02:14.280 They could ask economists.
00:02:17.360 They could ask sociologists.
00:02:19.780 They could ask border patrol agents.
00:02:22.520 They could ask, why would anyone ever vote for Trump?
00:02:28.360 Because people don't like when millions and millions of foreigners illegally flood into
00:02:33.520 their country and invade their country.
00:02:35.640 They don't like when our jobs are shipped overseas.
00:02:38.680 That's been a long-simmering tension for a long time.
00:02:40.780 They don't like when there's a ton of crime in the streets.
00:02:42.640 They actually don't like dirty syringes and human feces on their sidewalks.
00:02:46.640 They're not big fans of that.
00:02:47.760 What's the psychological explanation for the aversion to syringes and excrement?
00:02:54.020 I don't know.
00:02:54.900 I think it's called being normal.
00:02:56.500 That's the psychological basis for it.
00:03:01.420 This headline, I've seen a million of these headlines.
00:03:05.160 And you hear about this all the time.
00:03:06.440 Let's just get inside the mind, the weird, bizarre kinks and psyche of the Trump supporter.
00:03:12.480 We, today, pathologize ordinary behavior.
00:03:18.440 And we normalize pathologies.
00:03:21.120 So we say, if you're a guy who doesn't want your country to get invaded by a bunch of foreigners,
00:03:26.180 or you're a guy who wants to be able to walk down the street and not be worried about getting
00:03:30.140 mugged by the spike in criminals, you've got something wrong.
00:03:34.420 There's something in your synapses, in your amygdala, in the frontal cortex,
00:03:40.040 that is a marker of your bizarre conservative affliction.
00:03:47.760 But if you're a dude who thinks he's a chick, you're totally normal.
00:03:51.380 That's good, actually.
00:03:52.660 You need affirming procedures to affirm your normality because of how normal it is.
00:03:59.560 The whole field of political psychology is so silly.
00:04:03.300 It's intrinsically anti-conservative because it states that the basis of politics is not rational.
00:04:12.880 And I'm not saying that mankind is perfectly rational, far from it, and our politics today increasingly
00:04:20.420 is quite irrational, on the left mostly, not so much on the right.
00:04:24.560 But we do have faculties of reason.
00:04:26.640 We can perceive objective reality.
00:04:28.700 We can talk about it, right?
00:04:30.180 If we can't, we can't have democracy.
00:04:34.600 So if the premise of these headlines, if the premise of political psychology is true,
00:04:40.840 that it's all just weird little ticks in our brain that we were born with,
00:04:44.340 and that's the way we understand each other is to put ourselves on the shrink couch
00:04:48.120 and figure out why we hate our parents or whatever.
00:04:50.620 If that's the basis of politics, then we have to have some other form of government,
00:04:55.000 which I guess is what they want.
00:04:56.020 They hate the people.
00:04:57.660 They want to disenfranchise as many people as they can
00:05:00.340 who are deplorable and irredeemable and bitter-clinging Bible-thumpers.
00:05:04.180 And they believe that the greatest threat to democracy is the people picking the candidate they want to vote for,
00:05:08.520 the most popular candidate in the race.
00:05:12.260 Normal behavior.
00:05:13.860 That's a pathology.
00:05:14.780 You're a cis man if you're normal.
00:05:18.260 You're cis.
00:05:19.580 But if you're a man who thinks he's a woman, you're just a woman.
00:05:23.160 You shouldn't even have to say trans woman.
00:05:24.560 You're just a—that's normal.
00:05:27.120 Just up and down.
00:05:28.580 Black is white.
00:05:31.080 Normality is pathology.
00:05:32.980 Now, speaking of normalizing bad things,
00:05:35.620 a Navy veteran, this guy Michael Cassidy, he's 35 years old,
00:05:40.320 he's the guy who beheaded the satanic statue that was exalted in the Iowa State Capitol.
00:05:45.260 That man has been charged with a hate crime.
00:05:53.680 Beheading a satanic statue erected in the Capitol is now a hate crime.
00:06:00.160 Are we the baddies?
00:06:03.720 I keep asking this question.
00:06:05.080 It keeps coming up.
00:06:06.660 Is Joe Biden more evil, a ruler, than Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin?
00:06:11.600 I know the latter two guys, they're bad.
00:06:13.100 They do all sorts of bad stuff.
00:06:14.040 I know.
00:06:14.220 But, like, we throw military veterans into prison,
00:06:19.360 or we're going to try to throw some military veterans into prison,
00:06:22.200 for objecting to a satanic idol in a government building.
00:06:29.000 In, like, a really prominent government building.
00:06:31.000 Are we—is Satanism now a protected religion?
00:06:35.920 It's not a religion.
00:06:37.080 First of all, not even the Satanists think that they are in a religion.
00:06:42.320 The satanic temple says that it is ironic.
00:06:45.560 They're just a bunch of edgy Reddit atheists.
00:06:48.580 They don't—they believe that they're not actually worshiping the devil.
00:06:51.520 The secret is they are worshiping the devil,
00:06:53.000 because you can't ironically worship the devil.
00:06:54.940 But they think that they're atheists.
00:06:57.020 They don't think they're a religion.
00:06:58.120 Religion is a habit of virtue that inclines the will to render to God the worship that he deserves.
00:07:03.260 By no even remotely plausible definition of religion, do these Satanists qualify?
00:07:11.500 Christians qualify.
00:07:13.380 I think Jews can make a good case of qualifying.
00:07:15.400 I think Muslims can make a good case of qualifying.
00:07:17.460 Even the non-theistic religions, Hinduism and Buddhism,
00:07:21.580 can make a less plausible but still somewhat plausible case of qualifying as a religion.
00:07:27.580 These guys don't, because they say we're not religious.
00:07:29.680 But second of all, even if they really were worshiping Satan, that would be worse.
00:07:35.720 And at no other point in American history would we tolerate this.
00:07:39.400 The Founding Fathers, liberal-minded men, are rolling over in their graves thinking about this.
00:07:45.840 And then the third part, it just keeps getting more outrageous.
00:07:49.380 The third part is there are regularly attacks on churches in America that basically go unpunished.
00:07:54.960 Vandalism, attacks from street criminals and from the government.
00:08:00.860 The government shuts down churches too.
00:08:04.000 All during COVID, they tried to shut down the churches.
00:08:05.980 And the synagogues for that matter.
00:08:09.520 That, no, no big deal.
00:08:11.020 There are no face act prosecutions by the Biden administration for that.
00:08:14.340 No, no, no.
00:08:14.720 We've got to protect religious liberty only in one case.
00:08:17.160 And the religious liberty we're protecting is the religious liberty of Satanists.
00:08:21.840 Are we the baddies?
00:08:23.360 Are we the baddies?
00:08:24.200 Nations can go bad.
00:08:26.620 I hope we're not bad.
00:08:28.800 I would love my country no matter what the political leaders are doing because it's my country and it's an extension of filial piety.
00:08:34.860 But it's getting very difficult to defend this.
00:08:40.280 But Xi Jinping persecutes the Muslims.
00:08:42.300 He does.
00:08:43.520 Vladimir Putin, he, you know, he's really bad.
00:08:46.640 I know, he's really bad.
00:08:47.380 He annexes territory that the Soviet Union used to have.
00:08:49.740 I know, it's bad.
00:08:50.660 It's bad.
00:08:51.180 I'm not defending it.
00:08:51.840 We take kids away from their parents because the parents won't pretend they're the opposite sex, you know, sometimes leading to their suicide.
00:09:01.600 We arrest pro-lifers for praying in abortion centers.
00:09:05.820 We arrest them and sentence them to over a decade in prison.
00:09:07.620 And now we protect the rights of Satanists, the so-called religious rights of Satanists, more than any other religion, any actual religion, as far as I can tell.
00:09:17.120 And we try to imprison Navy veterans for that.
00:09:18.880 But are we the baddies?
00:09:22.260 Did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef sold in U.S. grocery stores is imported?
00:09:27.900 That's why I buy all my meat from GoodRanchers.com instead.

00:10:01.160 Turning to a much more gruesome beheading story.
00:10:05.520 A little bit of a rough transition, but we're not just talking about statues here.
00:10:09.760 We're talking about actual people.
00:10:12.280 There is a story that went viral yesterday about a young man, I think a 32-year-old man,
00:10:17.760 who beheaded his father, allegedly, picked up the head in a bag, made a YouTube video about it,
00:10:25.940 ranting about all sorts of politics.
00:10:27.740 The video was up for hours on YouTube before it got taken down.
00:10:31.800 The father obviously is dead, and luckily the son has been captured.
00:10:36.780 The story went viral.
00:10:37.880 One, it's so gruesome, so sensationalist.
00:10:40.780 But two, because the kid, kid, he's a 32-year-old man, started making all sorts of political claims.
00:10:47.860 And so it's being framed by the media as though he were a right-wing Trump supporter.
00:10:53.580 Because he attacked Joe Biden and he attacked the government and all the rest.
00:10:57.960 In the video, the reason that it's not going to take total hold is in the video.
00:11:03.080 The guy apparently also attacks Donald Trump and threatens Donald Trump.
00:11:07.800 So the media are going to spend a few days trying to make this into a political issue.
00:11:12.800 Apparently, the young man was known to the FBI, and another one slips through the cracks, I guess.
00:11:18.680 They're going to try to make this into a political issue.
00:11:20.440 It is a reminder that there is more to life than Republicans and Democrats.
00:11:26.100 There is more to politics, even, than the left and the right.
00:11:30.480 Like, what was this guy's political ideology?
00:11:34.220 I don't know.
00:11:34.860 He certainly said things that sound right-wing, but then he also threatened the Republican nominee for president.
00:11:39.840 And he said he was the leader of a cult.
00:11:42.060 And he was just obviously a complete looney tune.
00:11:45.560 There is a reality beyond ideological bickering.
00:11:49.860 And that reality is mental illness, legitimate mental illness.
00:11:54.920 Not what the liberals would say, which is that, you know, if you want to vote for a Republican, you know, you need to go to a psychiatrist.
00:12:03.180 But real mental illness, where you think you're the second coming of the Messiah, as this guy did.
00:12:07.600 And where you're engaging in all sorts of bizarre attention-seeking behavior for a very long time.
00:12:12.400 And then where you ultimately commit a heinous, evil crime and then make a big show about it.
00:12:16.700 Also, why I'm not going to play any of the video or say his name or anything.
00:12:19.400 Because, you know, that's obviously something he was after in as much as he had rational faculties.
00:12:23.680 And he doesn't seem to have had much of those.
00:12:25.440 There is a reality of mental illness.
00:12:28.620 And there is a reality of evil.
00:12:31.320 And sometimes there is some overlap there.
00:12:33.220 Those are distinct things.
00:12:36.220 Mental illness is real.
00:12:37.920 And demonic possession is real.
00:12:40.120 And they don't always overlap.
00:12:41.740 Sometimes it's one.
00:12:42.920 Sometimes it's the other.
00:12:44.080 Sometimes the distinction gets a little bit blurry.
00:12:46.200 Sometimes these things are brought on by certain behaviors.
00:12:48.620 The kid talked a lot about, apparently, how he smoked pot.
00:12:54.660 I keep calling him a kid because he's old, though.
00:12:57.980 You know, he's 32 years old.
00:13:00.120 Did his drug use have something to do with it?
00:13:02.140 Who knows?
00:13:03.300 There is a reality here.
00:13:05.100 And ironically, that's what we won't talk about.
00:13:07.900 We never talk about the existence of evil.
00:13:09.940 And really modern, fashionable people, they can't accept it.
00:13:13.120 Because if you accept the existence of evil, you have to accept the existence of good.
00:13:16.480 If you can accept the reality that some things are better than other things, then there has to be a maximal good.
00:13:23.420 If there's a moral order, if there's a moral law, then there has to be a moral law giver.
00:13:27.280 And you have to accept God.
00:13:28.720 And that comes with certain requirements.
00:13:32.040 The yoke is easy and the burden is light.
00:13:33.700 But there is a yoke.
00:13:35.180 There are some requirements there.
00:13:36.880 We can know the existence of God through our reason.
00:13:38.980 But to know more about God and how to worship him and, you know, religion, this thing that we treat in a very glib way these days by protecting supposed rights for Satanists, for edgy redded edgelord Satanists.
00:13:51.680 But when we know things through our reason, then there are implications to that.
00:13:57.460 And we follow that thread through revelation, continuing to test our reason.
00:14:01.620 And we talk about our religious duties.
00:14:05.240 Yeah, that's all out the window.
00:14:06.860 None of the fashionable people do that.
00:14:09.060 Ironically, though, we don't even talk about mental health.
00:14:11.360 We have really glib, shallow articles about how you must have a screw loose if you vote for a Republican.
00:14:16.520 And then we pretend that obvious body dysmorphia is totally normal, especially in the transgender issue, as well as deviant behaviors and desires.
00:14:25.660 We say that's totally normal.
00:14:27.340 And then we move along, move along.
00:14:28.900 And then we try to say that a horrific, heinous crime that goes viral, we say, oh, it's because he's a right winger.
00:14:35.420 And then some people on the right will say, no, he's a left winger.
00:14:37.880 They say, oh, no, he's, he watched too many Ben Shapiro videos.
00:14:43.080 No, he watched whatever, some guy on the left.
00:14:46.220 I don't even know, who are the guys on the left?
00:14:47.840 There was that guy, Destiny, that Ben just debated.
00:14:49.940 I don't know, whoever.
00:14:50.420 They say he watched too many of his videos.
00:14:51.700 There's more guys, there's a little bit more to life than that.
00:14:55.980 But the more we ignore that, the more we can expect to see bizarre episodes and really evil episodes such as this.
00:15:02.300 Now, speaking of social media, Mark Zuckerberg just had to testify before the Senate.
00:15:06.700 And he was grilled by Senator Josh Hawley on the awful effects, especially for young people.
00:15:16.260 And he was asked to make an apology.
00:15:18.460 So you didn't take any action, you didn't take any action, you didn't fire anybody, you haven't compensated a single victim.
00:15:25.180 Let me ask you this, let me ask you this.
00:15:26.560 There's families of victims here today.
00:15:28.320 Have you apologized to the victims?
00:15:31.760 Would you like to do so now?
00:15:33.540 They're here, you're on national television.
00:15:35.900 Would you like now to apologize to the victims who have been harmed by your product?
00:15:39.660 Show them the pictures.
00:15:40.440 Would you like to apologize for what you've done to these good people?
00:15:44.580 I'm sorry, but everything that you've all have to do is terrible.
00:15:51.480 No one should actually go through the things that your families have suffered.
00:15:55.860 And this is why we invested so much and are going to continue doing these three big efforts
00:16:00.600 to make sure that no one has to go through the types of things that your families have had to suffer.
00:16:10.440 You know, why, Mr. Zuckerberg, why should your company not be sued for this?
00:16:18.300 Why is it that you can claim, you hide behind a liability shield, you can't be held accountable?
00:16:23.580 Shouldn't you be held accountable personally?
00:16:25.780 I thought Zuckerberg handled this beautifully, actually.
00:16:29.800 Hawley's asking a legitimate question, which is, hey, your technology has led to all sorts of terrible consequences from young people,
00:16:36.060 and you haven't done enough to fix it, so should you apologize to the parents of these young people
00:16:40.180 who have been so hurt, or in some cases perhaps killed themselves?
00:16:43.160 And instantly, Zuckerberg gets up, they start to stand up, he stands up, and he apologizes.
00:16:48.800 This looked really good. It is the right thing to do.
00:16:52.440 And moreover, I don't think Zuckerberg bears most of the blame.
00:16:59.740 Social media is generally terrible for young people.
00:17:02.980 In some cases, it can be good if it's really, really tightly controlled.
00:17:06.840 If you're, like, listening to the Michael Knowles show right now, and you're a member of the Crème de la Crème in the inner circle,
00:17:10.820 and you're in the chat with very wholesome, smart people, okay, that can be good.
00:17:14.860 But if you're a young person, and you're on TikTok, or you're on Tumblr, or you're on any of these other platforms,
00:17:20.480 I don't know, do people do Tumblr anymore? I don't know.
00:17:22.760 I interviewed an ex-trans who said that Tumblr radicalized her.
00:17:28.660 Or, but I don't know, maybe they're probably on some other one now.
00:17:31.500 All of those, Instagram, Facebook, obviously both owned by Mark Zuckerberg,
00:17:35.640 all of them can lead you down a very bad path.
00:17:38.300 How are they getting on those technologies?
00:17:41.640 That's my question.
00:17:43.360 I don't want to point fingers at the parents, necessarily, but parents are a big part of it.
00:17:48.400 Are the parents buying their kids smartphones?
00:17:50.380 Bad idea. Really bad idea.
00:17:52.720 They shouldn't be doing that.
00:17:54.260 It's crazy. Crazy to do that today.
00:17:55.980 Anyway, these smartphones are portals to hell.
00:18:00.960 And if you are adult, and educated, and well-formed, maybe you can avoid the worst of it.
00:18:07.320 Maybe if you're very disciplined about your social media use, and you're not too curious,
00:18:11.980 and you develop good habits, maybe you can avoid the temptations in that portal to hell.
00:18:18.140 All sorts, by the way.
00:18:18.860 I'm not even just talking about weird sex stuff, which is probably what most people think of
00:18:22.400 when they think about the temptations of the internet.
00:18:24.140 But all of it. All sorts of crazy stuff.
00:18:27.640 Sloth. You're just doom-scrolling forever.
00:18:30.000 You get addicted just to those dopamine hits.
00:18:33.260 Or wrath. You're just sending out vicious, awful things on Twitter.
00:18:37.800 And there's just pride.
00:18:39.640 Of course, you're just obsessed with your image and posting pictures of your spaghetti or whatever.
00:18:44.440 Every deadly sin is a major temptation on social media.
00:18:51.300 Why would a parent do that?
00:18:53.860 I'll tell you why.
00:18:55.360 Because the parents need to reach the kids.
00:18:57.000 Okay, get the kid a flip phone.
00:18:58.300 Well, no, no. You don't understand, Michael.
00:19:00.000 The kid's friends?
00:19:00.820 The kid's friends all have the smartphones.
00:19:03.700 Okay.
00:19:04.160 Well, why do your kid's friends have smartphones?
00:19:05.700 Why are they friends with those people?
00:19:07.080 Well, because their kids are in public school.
00:19:09.860 Okay.
00:19:10.260 I get it, man.
00:19:10.940 It's really hard.
00:19:11.780 Private school's very, very expensive.
00:19:13.760 And in most cases, really not any better than the public schools in that regard.
00:19:19.220 And maybe you want to homeschool, but you need the money.
00:19:22.580 So you've got to go out to work.
00:19:23.420 There's no one to homeschool.
00:19:24.220 Or there's not a good homeschooling co-op near you.
00:19:26.920 Or there's this.
00:19:27.800 Or there's that.
00:19:28.400 Or I know the system is set up against you.
00:19:31.240 I'm not denying any of that.
00:19:34.140 But we can't just go along to get along anymore with these sorts of issues.
00:19:38.220 This is not like technological advancements when you were a kid.
00:19:44.220 Same thing that's being taught in schools.
00:19:45.640 We say, oh, the schools have always been left-wing.
00:19:47.260 Yeah, they weren't chopping kids' genitals off 20 years ago, actually.
00:19:50.660 That's a marked change.
00:19:52.880 And so 20 years ago, you send your kid to public school.
00:19:55.480 All right, they're probably going to turn a little lefty, but what are we going to do?
00:19:58.980 Yeah, now they're going to chop your kids' genitals off.
00:20:01.500 So that's a...
00:20:02.380 Now you can.
00:20:03.620 Now the calculation changes, and it is incumbent upon you to figure something out.
00:20:09.020 And it's incumbent upon us in the political order to figure something out.
00:20:12.940 But it is not all Mark Zuckerberg's fault.
00:20:15.440 I'm no big promoter of Facebook and obviously of social media at all or these tech zillionaires.
00:20:20.900 But this guy, Zuckerberg, may have been one of the most significant factors in kicking Donald Trump out of the White House.
00:20:28.400 So there's no love lost here for Mark Zuckerberg.
00:20:30.500 But it is not all that guy's fault.
00:20:33.920 Now, speaking of scandalizing kids, there is a doctor who's gone viral on social media for saying that she will die on the hill of transing the kids.
00:20:47.140 I'm a doctor, and apparently the state of Texas needs to reconsider what it considers child abuse.
00:20:52.920 Because you know what's abusive?
00:20:54.940 Ignoring the needs of your child when your child is telling you what they need.
00:20:59.140 And engaging in behavior as a parent that could lead them to unalive themselves.
00:21:05.720 Over 80% of trans youth have admitted to having thoughts about unaliving themselves.
00:21:10.940 And over 50% have actually attempted it.
00:21:13.880 In these individuals, denying them care that we know is life-saving is child abuse.
00:21:21.300 And it is proven that providing them gender-affirming care strongly reduces those risks.
00:21:28.560 Don't worry, I got plenty of receipts for these comments.
00:21:30.520 You can check my link tree.
00:21:31.520 I will die on this hill.
00:21:34.440 Trans rights are human rights.
00:21:37.300 And it doesn't matter the age of the person.
00:21:39.940 We all deserve to live our truth.
00:21:41.540 There it is.
00:21:44.520 There's no evidence of any of the things that she just suggested.
00:21:47.780 And there's a lot of evidence to the contrary.
00:21:50.180 And you'll be shocked to know that chopping off kids' genitals and giving them permanent damage to their bodies
00:21:58.720 and likely shortening their lives, even in the best cases, that doesn't actually help them.
00:22:04.380 You'll be shocked to hear that.
00:22:05.320 I think you probably already knew that.
00:22:07.660 But this woman's convinced of it.
00:22:09.340 And, look, she doesn't know anything.
00:22:12.120 She's got her hair colored five different crazy colors.
00:22:14.380 And she's, you know, probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.
00:22:20.160 I'm not even making a comment about her IQ.
00:22:22.180 I just, however she's been educated, she has ended up in a very bad place.
00:22:26.340 And she obviously doesn't know much of anything at all.
00:22:28.560 But you know what she does know?
00:22:30.960 She makes a few declarative statements.
00:22:32.680 We have to trans the kids.
00:22:34.060 It will really help them.
00:22:35.620 If you don't do that, they'll kill themselves.
00:22:37.620 And I will die on this hill.
00:22:39.020 But then she gets to the last one.
00:22:40.260 And the last one's the really important one.
00:22:42.040 You have to live your truth.
00:22:44.700 And this is the receipt that I'm going to save when I bring liberalism to court.
00:22:51.500 When we put liberalism on trial and we try to scrap the whole damn thing,
00:22:56.020 not just modern progressivism, but even some of the early classical liberalism,
00:23:00.300 the supposedly good liberalism, I'm bringing that receipt to court.
00:23:02.980 Because that is the sort of thing that John Stuart Mill was talking about.
00:23:07.700 That's the sort of thing that you see in the earlier Enlightenment writers.
00:23:11.960 But just live your truth.
00:23:13.480 Let's just not violate the harm principle.
00:23:16.040 The notion that the government should only interfere when you might harm others through your behavior.
00:23:24.880 But if it's just about you, it's just your own personal life,
00:23:28.880 the government has no right whatsoever to interfere.
00:23:32.860 You get to do whatever you want to yourself.
00:23:35.880 Because as actually John Stuart Mill understood, though he didn't sufficiently answer,
00:23:41.380 what happens in private spills out into public.
00:23:44.300 And a society that establishes as its basis something this low, this basic, this brittle and weak
00:23:56.040 is not a society that's going to flourish for very long.

00:25:14.560 You've got to live your truth, says the woman who wants to trans all the kids.
00:25:19.360 And she will die on this hill.
00:25:22.020 But her truth is that boys can become girls.
00:25:27.220 And she's going to live out her truth by transing kids.
00:25:29.920 My truth is that boys can't become girls.
00:25:34.780 So one of our truths has to be false.
00:25:38.240 But okay, let's just, look, in my family, we don't chop people's genitals off.
00:25:45.280 And maybe in her family or whatever kind of community she's got, they do.
00:25:49.920 And look, that's her business and that's my business.
00:25:51.420 How does it affect me?
00:25:52.660 You know, how does it affect you?
00:25:53.600 Well, here's how it affects me.
00:25:57.120 Because the woman is making a declarative statement about human nature and reality.
00:26:04.460 And when that view is accepted by anyone, it is going to spill out into society
00:26:11.960 and how we treat the very notions of men and women.
00:26:14.500 And that's going to spill out into the schools around me
00:26:18.640 and the communities around me and my family.
00:26:21.280 That, because we live in a society.
00:26:25.980 That's how.
00:26:26.760 So we're going to need some basis of society that is more forceful,
00:26:33.080 that is more thorough and comprehensive than,
00:26:37.700 don't yuck my yum, bro.
00:26:39.380 Because these people are willing to die on the hill of transing your kid.
00:26:42.760 And they've got access to your kid now because your kid has a smartphone
00:26:44.900 and is on TikTok and sees that crazy lady.
00:26:47.660 And if you want to protect your kid from that,
00:26:50.280 you can take away the phone, you can take the kid out of school,
00:26:52.240 you can lock the kid in his bedroom studying the classics.
00:26:55.460 But society is going to make its way in eventually.
00:26:58.800 Which is why we have an obligation to defend reality.
00:27:04.260 Because it's good for everybody and it's going to affect us eventually as well.
00:27:09.100 Speaking of political polarization,
00:27:13.180 even with the extreme degree of political polarization we have these days,
00:27:18.320 we can't even agree on basic terms or aspects of human nature.
00:27:22.200 There's some bipartisan support going on.
00:27:25.880 Anthony Scaramucci, the Mooch,
00:27:27.620 the shortest serving White House communications director in history,
00:27:30.660 lasted 11 days,
00:27:32.540 worked for Donald Trump.
00:27:33.640 Well, now he is endorsing Joe Biden.
00:27:38.100 And here is his convoluted reasoning why.
00:27:42.240 I've been a lifelong Republican.
00:27:44.740 I've sort of been in the Mitt Romney,
00:27:46.980 Jen Bush community of the Republican Party.
00:27:50.060 And I have a lot of respect for Governor Haley,
00:27:52.740 but I think you have to be honest about where the situation is.
00:27:55.960 The former president will win this nomination unless there's some type of legal avalanche that takes place
00:28:02.900 from the Department of Justice or perhaps one of the states.
00:28:05.960 But even in that situation, those proceedings take longer than usual.
00:28:10.500 And I think we do have a rematch.
00:28:12.860 And I'm a patriot first and a partisan second.
00:28:15.700 And so I'm going to go with the institutions of the democracy
00:28:19.220 and the checks and balances of the system.
00:28:21.740 I mean, not somebody that's talking about tyranny
00:28:24.320 and talking about being a dictator for a day
00:28:26.660 or using the Department of Justice to persecute his political adversaries.
00:28:31.700 Hold on.
00:28:32.480 Hold on.
00:28:33.160 Wait a second.
00:28:34.300 Anthony Scaramucci is not going to vote for Donald Trump
00:28:38.640 because Donald Trump might have insinuated
00:28:43.280 that for a day he would be tempted to use the Department of Justice
00:28:49.940 to persecute his political opponents, hypothetically.
00:28:54.780 So instead he's going to vote for Joe Biden,
00:28:56.920 who is actually doing that right this second.
00:28:59.480 He is prosecuting Donald Trump because Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.
00:29:02.940 This after Donald Trump was already persecuted by the DOJ and the FBI
00:29:08.620 from the very moment he started running for president.
00:29:11.100 You had the DOJ spying on him
00:29:12.660 and then working with the Democrats to cook up fake information,
00:29:16.620 working with Hillary, working with the Obama White House
00:29:19.440 to cook up a fake dossier that would be a pretext
00:29:23.220 for trying to undermine the whole Trump administration
00:29:25.300 if he somehow got elected, which he did.
00:29:27.760 So you're going to vote for the guy who did everything
00:29:29.680 that you're afraid Donald Trump jokingly suggested
00:29:32.720 he might be kind of inclined to do for a day.
00:29:35.180 That's not really good reasoning.
00:29:37.820 I think Anthony Scaramucci's reasoning
00:29:41.440 has more to do with the first part.
00:29:44.400 The first part of his statement was,
00:29:46.480 look, I'm a lifelong Republican.
00:29:48.920 I'm a Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush kind of Republican.
00:29:54.500 He's a liberal.
00:29:56.340 Mitt Romney invented Obamacare.
00:29:58.680 Mitt Romney, when he was running for Senate in Massachusetts,
00:30:01.380 disavowed Ronald Reagan and George Bush, actually.
00:30:04.440 I wasn't a Republican in the time of Reagan-Bush.
00:30:08.180 I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush.
00:30:10.120 I don't want to go back to Reagan-Bush.
00:30:12.780 He's a, Scaramucci's a liberal, a liberal Republican.
00:30:17.680 He's a liberal who wants lower taxes.
00:30:19.480 Okay, I'm not even knocking it.
00:30:20.640 I have many friends who have this view.
00:30:22.700 I have family members who are of this view.
00:30:24.840 But don't pretend to me it's because Donald Trump is some grave threat to democracy,
00:30:30.340 because Donald Trump is maybe thinking about doing the things that Joe Biden is currently doing.
00:30:34.140 He already won your vote, apparently.
00:30:35.640 And please also don't pretend to me that you are a lifelong Republican as though that really means anything in this ideological fight.
00:30:48.820 The liberal Republicans have been teaming up with the Democrats to pull this move for now over, it's about 60 years now.
00:30:59.160 This happened during the Goldwater campaign.
00:31:01.740 The Democrats found some squish rhino to go on and say,
00:31:06.440 look, I'm a Republican, but I'm not one of those Republicans.
00:31:09.900 I certainly don't feel guilty about being a Republican.
00:31:12.560 I've always been a Republican.
00:31:14.460 My father is, his father was.
00:31:17.020 The whole family is a Republican family.
00:31:19.220 I voted for Dwight Eisenhower the first time I ever voted.
00:31:22.000 I voted for Nixon the last time.
00:31:25.880 But when we come to Senator Goldwater,
00:31:29.860 now it seems to me we're up against a very different kind of a man.
00:31:33.700 This man scares me.
00:31:38.520 Now, maybe I'm wrong.
00:31:40.260 A friend of mine has said to me,
00:31:42.040 listen, just because a man sounds a little irresponsible during a campaign
00:31:46.880 doesn't mean he's going to act irresponsibly.
00:31:48.980 You know that theory that the White House makes the man.
00:31:52.700 I don't buy that.
00:31:55.340 Sometimes I wish I'd been at that convention in San Francisco.
00:32:00.560 I bet that guy does wish he was in San Francisco.
00:32:02.740 We'll leave that to the imagination.
00:32:05.660 That ad could have been produced by the Lincoln Project against Donald Trump.
00:32:09.140 That ad could have been produced by the RINO establishment against Ronald Reagan.
00:32:13.460 They said all the same things time and time again.
00:32:16.600 And what I resent about it is the notion that,
00:32:20.480 listen, I'm a lifelong Republican, means anything.
00:32:23.660 Because the ideological battle that we're talking about
00:32:26.200 is not the Republicans versus the Democrats.
00:32:27.920 The ideological battle we're talking about
00:32:29.340 is the conservatives versus the low-tax liberals.
00:32:33.060 That's what it's really about.
00:32:34.380 And what Scaramucci, with the mooch,
00:32:36.460 is somewhat honestly explaining here,
00:32:40.480 or demonstrating,
00:32:42.600 is that those low-tax RINOs
00:32:45.520 don't have very much in common with the conservatives.
00:32:48.480 The conservatives have gone along
00:32:50.680 with the low-tax RINOs,
00:32:52.740 the low-tax liberals,
00:32:53.540 for a long time.
00:32:56.040 When they nominate Mitt Romney,
00:32:58.180 we just kind of suck it up and vote for him.
00:33:00.860 Maybe he's not our favorite.
00:33:02.140 He invented Obamacare.
00:33:03.200 He's a huge lib,
00:33:03.920 but whatever.
00:33:04.760 He's the Republican number.
00:33:05.580 We'll vote for him.
00:33:06.560 John McCain,
00:33:08.260 pretty big lib on a lot of issues.
00:33:10.980 I respect his military service, of course.
00:33:13.120 But, you know,
00:33:13.760 he's kind of a Democrat,
00:33:15.000 half a dem, at least.
00:33:16.120 We voted for him.
00:33:17.020 The Bushes,
00:33:19.880 we do it, okay?
00:33:20.840 We go along with it.
00:33:22.000 But when it comes to
00:33:23.340 the low-tax liberals
00:33:24.960 voting for the conservatives,
00:33:26.040 then they're out.
00:33:27.600 Then they say,
00:33:28.400 no, thank you.
00:33:29.200 Sorry.
00:33:29.740 We're with the Lincoln Project now.
00:33:31.560 We're endorsing Biden.
00:33:32.760 We're endorsing Hillary.
00:33:35.200 Because they have much more in common
00:33:36.820 with the liberals.
00:33:38.600 When it comes to the so-called social policies,
00:33:40.780 by the way,
00:33:41.060 we're talking about society here,
00:33:42.320 so the social policies seem pretty important.
00:33:44.240 They side with the liberals.
00:33:45.040 When it comes to epistemology,
00:33:48.100 you know,
00:33:48.240 how we can know anything.
00:33:49.260 When it comes to anthropology,
00:33:50.360 what we know about man,
00:33:52.080 they go with the liberals.
00:33:53.380 And when it comes to
00:33:54.600 the basis of political philosophy,
00:33:57.140 they go along with the liberals.
00:33:59.080 You do you.
00:34:00.300 In this case, though,
00:34:01.080 don't make me pay more taxes.
00:34:02.620 That's not what the conservatives think.
00:34:03.820 The conservatives think
00:34:04.400 there's a transcendent moral order.
00:34:05.940 The conservatives think
00:34:06.740 that norms and standards are good.
00:34:09.440 The conservatives think that
00:34:10.900 patriotism is a good thing.
00:34:12.820 Conservatives believe
00:34:13.460 that borders are a good thing.
00:34:15.380 Conservatives realize that limits
00:34:16.760 are what gives shape
00:34:18.920 to beautiful things.
00:34:21.680 If you don't have limits,
00:34:22.980 then the beautiful sonnet
00:34:25.020 turns into slam poetry.
00:34:26.160 And slam poetry is the death of art.
00:34:27.700 If you don't have limits,
00:34:28.720 then the nation becomes
00:34:29.840 just a blob
00:34:30.680 to be invaded by foreigners,
00:34:32.020 as it currently is being.
00:34:34.560 I'm a lifelong Republican,
00:34:36.060 but I'm not voting
00:34:37.080 for this Trump man.
00:34:37.960 Man, you worked for Trump.
00:34:39.420 Are you kidding me?
00:34:40.900 We can stop telling you.
00:34:41.760 Oh, he might be Hitler.
00:34:42.620 He's not Hitler.
00:34:43.640 He's just somewhat more conservative
00:34:46.400 than the libs you guys want to run.
00:34:48.980 And that's too much for you.
00:34:50.520 Too bad.
00:34:51.440 Too bad.
00:34:51.860 Maybe these lifelong Republicans
00:34:53.020 should admit
00:34:53.520 they've been lifelong Democrats
00:34:54.740 the whole time.
00:34:55.500 As for Trump's numbers,
00:34:56.620 they're looking pretty good.
00:34:57.720 Bloomberg News and Morning Consult
00:34:59.080 has Trump leading Biden
00:35:01.260 in all seven swing states.
00:35:04.180 So you're going to see
00:35:05.100 a lot of headlines.
00:35:06.160 National polls.
00:35:06.820 Right after Trump,
00:35:08.080 for all intents and purposes,
00:35:09.800 clinched the nomination.
00:35:11.600 You saw all these polls shift.
00:35:13.000 Nationally,
00:35:13.400 Trump is losing to Biden.
00:35:14.500 Okay, well,
00:35:16.040 the election's not national.
00:35:17.840 The Democrats could still steal
00:35:19.040 at a million different ways.
00:35:20.060 But if you look at the polls
00:35:20.860 in the swing states right now,
00:35:22.320 Trump,
00:35:23.540 47,
00:35:24.380 Biden,
00:35:24.680 44.
00:35:25.140 It's close,
00:35:25.640 but Trump is up by three.
00:35:26.940 Georgia,
00:35:27.820 Trump,
00:35:28.120 49,
00:35:28.620 Biden,
00:35:28.860 41.
00:35:29.400 That's a pretty big gap.
00:35:30.940 Michigan,
00:35:31.460 Trump,
00:35:31.700 47,
00:35:32.220 Biden,
00:35:32.460 42.
00:35:33.100 Still pretty big gap.
00:35:33.900 Five points.
00:35:34.680 Nevada,
00:35:35.740 Trump,
00:35:35.980 48,
00:35:36.400 Biden,
00:35:36.660 40.
00:35:37.000 Eight points.
00:35:37.480 Pretty good.
00:35:37.960 North Carolina,
00:35:38.740 Trump's up 10 points,
00:35:40.120 49 to 39.
00:35:41.760 Pennsylvania,
00:35:42.340 even.
00:35:43.180 There are these worries
00:35:43.800 that Trump might not win Pennsylvania.
00:35:45.060 He's up three points,
00:35:45.780 at least according to Bloomberg News
00:35:47.040 and Morning Consult.
00:35:47.880 It's a liberal poll.
00:35:49.980 Wisconsin,
00:35:50.760 49 to 44.
00:35:52.080 Five points.
00:35:52.540 Still pretty good.
00:35:53.300 Now,
00:35:53.580 what happens when you factor in RFK Jr.?
00:35:55.720 Because there's been a fear.
00:35:56.560 RFK Jr.,
00:35:57.160 he's going to take votes from Trump.
00:35:58.580 He could actually tilt the election to Biden.
00:36:00.680 That's not my view.
00:36:01.460 I think that he'll take votes
00:36:03.400 from both candidates.
00:36:04.500 Probably won't take a lot of votes,
00:36:05.480 but in as much as he takes votes
00:36:06.700 from candidates,
00:36:07.380 it'll mostly be from Biden.
00:36:08.920 Well,
00:36:09.860 you show
00:36:10.980 Kennedy in the race,
00:36:13.560 Trump still wins
00:36:14.640 Arizona,
00:36:17.420 43 to 35 Biden,
00:36:19.520 Georgia,
00:36:19.900 44 to 37,
00:36:21.840 Michigan,
00:36:22.400 43 to 37,
00:36:24.020 Nevada,
00:36:24.660 it looks even better.
00:36:25.780 Trump's up 12 points
00:36:26.880 when you put RFK in the race.
00:36:29.440 It's looking pretty good.
00:36:31.680 I feel good about our chances.
00:36:33.320 Nikki Haley will continue to run,
00:36:35.140 but the writing is clearly on the wall.
00:36:38.000 She's not even running in Nevada
00:36:39.520 and South Carolina.
00:36:41.020 She's going to get trounced in her home state.
00:36:43.200 Michigan,
00:36:43.600 she's going to get trounced.
00:36:44.560 That's all before Super Tuesday.
00:36:46.560 So it would seem,
00:36:47.820 there are reports now
00:36:48.640 that some of Haley's big funders
00:36:50.820 are closing their checkbooks
00:36:52.720 because they don't think
00:36:53.500 they're going to get a return
00:36:54.160 on the investment.
00:36:55.040 So I'm not with the RNC here
00:36:57.040 in calling for Nikki Haley
00:36:57.920 to drop out of the race,
00:36:58.900 but for all intents and purposes,
00:37:00.680 Trump is the nominee
00:37:01.400 and the early numbers
00:37:02.760 look pretty good.
00:37:04.400 You might say,
00:37:05.260 who trusts the polls, Michael?
00:37:06.420 Are you a big dummy
00:37:06.940 to trust the polls?
00:37:07.780 Well, no.
00:37:08.360 Sometimes I trust the polls,
00:37:09.240 sometimes I don't.
00:37:10.060 And I look for evidence
00:37:10.780 on which to base my decision.
00:37:12.600 And the polls in this race thus far
00:37:14.900 in Iowa and in New Hampshire
00:37:17.020 have been reliable.
00:37:18.800 They've been really,
00:37:19.540 really close to what's happened.
00:37:20.860 And so maybe their polls
00:37:22.020 will be reliable moving forward.
00:37:24.080 The Biden administration
00:37:25.040 needs to do something.
00:37:27.280 And the economy,
00:37:30.980 maybe they'll be able
00:37:31.780 to putter through
00:37:32.840 with some facade
00:37:33.660 of a strong economy
00:37:34.460 through the election,
00:37:35.320 maybe.
00:37:36.480 But the potential world war
00:37:38.580 that's breaking in
00:37:39.120 the Middle East
00:37:39.540 is a big problem.
00:37:40.380 So that war has been brought on
00:37:42.420 basically through Biden's incompetence
00:37:45.520 and bad political vision.
00:37:47.720 Don't forget,
00:37:48.060 Donald Trump brought peace
00:37:48.780 to the Middle East
00:37:49.300 in the Abraham Accords,
00:37:50.540 got Saudi Arabia
00:37:51.200 to sit down with the Israelis.
00:37:53.080 Biden blew it all up
00:37:54.160 and now there's a war.
00:37:55.300 Joe Biden actually bears the blame
00:37:59.780 even more directly
00:38:01.200 for the Ukraine war.
00:38:02.900 President Zelensky in Ukraine said,
00:38:04.800 if not for Joe Biden's
00:38:06.920 weak stance on Russia,
00:38:08.580 they would not have invaded Ukraine.
00:38:10.140 So he bears that responsibility.
00:38:11.980 So what is Biden going to do?
00:38:13.020 You know,
00:38:13.760 to quote Barack Obama,
00:38:15.900 you should never underestimate
00:38:17.120 Joe's ability to F things up.
00:38:19.280 Joe Biden is now,
00:38:21.080 according to reports from Axios,
00:38:22.560 exploring options
00:38:24.420 to recognize a Palestinian state.
00:38:28.400 That'll solve the problem.
00:38:30.160 More on that in a second.
00:38:31.040 First, though,
00:38:31.700 you know,
00:38:31.900 Lady Ballers is the hilarious story
00:38:34.060 of how a group of male losers
00:38:35.720 who can't win against other men
00:38:37.160 decide to identify as women
00:38:38.520 and join a women's basketball league.
00:38:40.580 Yes, it's absurd.
00:38:41.360 It's ridiculous.
00:38:41.940 It's laughable.
00:38:42.560 Yes.
00:38:44.240 It's happening right now in the world.
00:38:46.640 Here's a quick look
00:38:47.600 at what is being called
00:38:48.280 the most triggering movie
00:38:49.320 of the decade.
00:38:50.620 Leftists are losing it
00:38:53.520 over Lady Ballers.
00:38:55.240 Nothing's changed.
00:38:56.460 This movie is a straight up
00:38:58.000 and intentional
00:38:58.880 transphobic hate crime.
00:39:00.840 What?
00:39:01.580 I see you.
00:39:02.820 The Lady Ballers movie
00:39:04.040 needs to be banned.
00:39:05.780 I'll cancel you.
00:39:07.060 Go ahead and get the blinds, please.
00:39:08.340 Go to Levin'.
00:39:09.040 The most toxic BS
00:39:11.720 you've ever seen.
00:39:13.060 You're a monster.
00:39:14.340 Yeah.
00:39:15.060 Next level hate speech propaganda.
00:39:17.260 That's it.
00:39:17.720 That's the pitch.
00:39:18.400 Watch the most triggering
00:39:19.600 comedy of the decade.
00:39:23.680 Lady Ballers.
00:39:25.120 Streaming exclusively
00:39:26.200 on Daily Wire Plus.
00:39:28.480 I don't know about you,
00:39:29.420 but I'm triggered.
00:39:30.240 Don't wait.
00:39:30.820 Watch Lady Ballers,
00:39:31.740 the movie that Hollywood
00:39:32.500 did not make,
00:39:33.480 so we did exclusively
00:39:34.440 on Daily Wire Plus
00:39:35.220 right now.
00:39:36.900 My favorite comment yesterday
00:39:38.140 is from
00:39:38.540 Moon Mission Passage
00:39:39.840 Totali 1952.
00:39:41.940 That's a very long name.
00:39:43.060 He says,
00:39:43.260 If Taylor Swift endorses
00:39:44.800 a 2024 presidential candidate,
00:39:46.860 it will likely be
00:39:48.060 RFK Jr.,
00:39:49.880 Taylor Swift dated
00:39:50.840 his son Connor Kennedy.
00:39:52.300 Old Joe is too much
00:39:52.960 of a liability.
00:39:54.640 Behold,
00:39:54.900 I actually had forgotten.
00:39:56.740 I remember that
00:39:57.600 Taylor Swift had dated
00:39:59.460 one of the Kennedy kids.
00:40:00.840 I'd forgotten that
00:40:01.400 it was RFK Jr.'s kid,
00:40:03.580 but I'm not sure
00:40:05.100 I follow your logic here.
00:40:06.440 If your ex-boyfriend
00:40:11.080 or girlfriend's dad
00:40:12.540 were running for president,
00:40:14.360 would you be more
00:40:15.260 or less inclined
00:40:16.140 to vote for that person?
00:40:17.200 Maybe you'd be inclined
00:40:18.500 to do it.
00:40:19.740 I'm just thinking,
00:40:20.300 usually when someone
00:40:20.940 becomes an ex,
00:40:22.380 it's because you're not
00:40:23.400 that favorably inclined
00:40:25.280 to that person anymore.
00:40:26.340 So I don't,
00:40:27.560 maybe RFK Jr.
00:40:28.480 would be the last person
00:40:29.420 Taylor Swift would endorse.
00:40:30.540 Just as a political matter,
00:40:31.760 there seems to me
00:40:33.020 zero chance
00:40:33.600 she would endorse him.
00:40:35.200 One,
00:40:35.640 it might make
00:40:36.280 Travis Kelsey jealous.
00:40:38.200 Two,
00:40:38.940 RFK Jr.
00:40:39.740 is being portrayed
00:40:40.400 as the biggest kook
00:40:41.180 in the race.
00:40:41.700 I don't think he is,
00:40:42.860 exactly,
00:40:43.440 but he's being portrayed
00:40:44.440 as even kookier
00:40:45.040 than Donald Trump
00:40:45.720 by the media.
00:40:46.420 So I just,
00:40:47.340 I don't know why,
00:40:48.360 if she were going to do that,
00:40:49.200 she might as well
00:40:49.620 just go and endorse Trump,
00:40:50.940 which probably she can't do.
00:40:53.280 But you know,
00:40:53.760 I'm still,
00:40:54.140 I'm still pro-Swifty.
00:40:57.500 I'm real Swifty these days,
00:40:59.000 all right?
00:40:59.360 Not because I would ever
00:41:00.200 voluntarily listen
00:41:01.000 to any of her music,
00:41:01.900 but she's a nice
00:41:04.260 pretty girl
00:41:04.840 who dresses normal
00:41:06.440 and conducts herself
00:41:07.420 with class
00:41:07.960 and is dating
00:41:08.700 a football player
00:41:09.460 and it's,
00:41:10.140 that's,
00:41:11.160 that is dispositionally,
00:41:12.520 temperamentally conservative.
00:41:14.680 I discovered this
00:41:15.680 about my wife
00:41:16.240 years and years ago.
00:41:18.320 Before my,
00:41:18.940 you know,
00:41:19.120 now of course
00:41:19.640 my wife is slightly
00:41:20.540 to the right
00:41:20.920 of Francisco Franco.
00:41:21.880 She all makes us look like,
00:41:22.800 you know,
00:41:23.460 Hillary Clinton.
00:41:24.860 But before that time,
00:41:26.720 when she wasn't thinking
00:41:27.600 that much about politics,
00:41:29.160 she's focused on other things.
00:41:30.580 She was,
00:41:30.900 you know,
00:41:31.080 I spend all my day
00:41:32.560 thinking about politics
00:41:33.360 and she hadn't really
00:41:34.740 thought about them
00:41:35.320 too much.
00:41:35.940 But even at that point,
00:41:38.060 she was dispositionally
00:41:41.080 probably more conservative
00:41:42.080 than I am.
00:41:42.940 She just conducts herself
00:41:44.180 with,
00:41:46.340 you know,
00:41:46.480 in a more normal way.
00:41:49.140 Frankly,
00:41:49.720 with probably greater
00:41:50.940 dignity and class
00:41:51.900 most of the time.
00:41:54.300 And,
00:41:54.420 and Taylor's,
00:41:55.660 she got that.
00:41:56.160 Okay,
00:41:56.280 she baked the Joe Biden cookies.
00:41:57.660 Okay,
00:41:57.840 whatever.
00:41:59.280 We're not going to win,
00:42:00.240 we're not going to win a war
00:42:01.120 turning on Taylor Swift,
00:42:02.520 who is one of the most
00:42:03.700 conservative elements
00:42:05.300 of American pop culture.
00:42:06.960 Damning,
00:42:07.400 perhaps that is to us,
00:42:08.260 but that's how it is.
00:42:09.780 Some people
00:42:10.460 don't think it'd be like it is,
00:42:12.320 but it do,
00:42:12.800 to quote Oscar Gamble.
00:42:14.840 Now,
00:42:16.320 Joe Biden has a solution
00:42:17.560 to the potential outbreak
00:42:21.040 of World War III
00:42:21.860 focused in particular
00:42:23.060 around the Middle East.
00:42:24.040 And the solution is,
00:42:26.220 give the Palestinian Arabs
00:42:27.920 a state.
00:42:30.900 That'll,
00:42:31.420 that'll do it,
00:42:32.220 right?
00:42:32.840 What could go wrong?
00:42:34.900 I don't know
00:42:35.720 how real
00:42:36.820 this possibility is.
00:42:38.080 It's clearly being floated though
00:42:39.040 because it's an Axios.
00:42:40.360 Secretary of State
00:42:40.960 Tony Blinken
00:42:42.260 asked the State Department
00:42:43.440 to conduct a review
00:42:44.320 and present policy options
00:42:45.420 on possible U.S.
00:42:46.620 and international recognition
00:42:47.640 of a Palestinian state
00:42:49.000 after the war in Gaza.
00:42:50.640 Okay,
00:42:50.880 well there's your first problem.
00:42:51.620 There's never going to be
00:42:52.200 an end to the war in Gaza.
00:42:53.740 They're just going to drag
00:42:54.460 the war out forever
00:42:55.300 because the Israeli
00:42:56.300 national interest
00:42:57.480 is to get the Palestinians
00:42:59.780 out of Gaza
00:43:00.440 because the Palestinians,
00:43:02.160 they have concluded,
00:43:02.840 represent an unacceptable
00:43:03.700 security risk.
00:43:04.960 And fair enough,
00:43:05.520 if I were an Israeli minister,
00:43:06.560 I'd probably come to
00:43:07.080 the same conclusion.
00:43:08.400 Not saying that
00:43:09.160 clearing the Palestinians
00:43:10.340 out of Gaza
00:43:10.880 is in America's interest,
00:43:12.080 exactly,
00:43:12.840 but if I were Israeli,
00:43:13.920 that's certainly what I would think.
00:43:15.080 So they're just going to
00:43:15.720 keep dragging this out.
00:43:16.440 This war's been going on
00:43:17.080 for what,
00:43:17.360 110 days now?
00:43:19.500 And they're just going to
00:43:20.380 keep dragging it on
00:43:21.180 and then because of
00:43:22.220 the Lindy effect,
00:43:23.040 the longer it goes on,
00:43:24.020 the more likely
00:43:24.500 it will continue to go on
00:43:25.620 even longer.
00:43:26.340 So, okay,
00:43:26.920 forget about that.
00:43:28.100 This is according to
00:43:28.900 two U.S. officials
00:43:29.760 briefed on the issue.
00:43:31.200 I have no doubt
00:43:31.680 that Biden
00:43:32.640 and the Democrats
00:43:33.520 want to recognize
00:43:34.720 some kind of
00:43:35.200 Palestinian state.
00:43:36.100 And I sympathize
00:43:38.720 with the Palestinians.
00:43:39.840 I truly do.
00:43:42.200 And I'm not making
00:43:43.380 any theological
00:43:44.980 or grand political claim
00:43:47.560 that the Israeli government
00:43:50.120 has the permanent right
00:43:51.660 forever and ever,
00:43:53.180 you know,
00:43:53.480 more fundamental
00:43:54.200 than any other political right
00:43:55.280 to that strip of land.
00:43:58.960 I guess I've got
00:44:00.020 a more practical question
00:44:01.120 than all of that,
00:44:01.860 which is,
00:44:02.740 what does the U.S. get
00:44:05.260 out of recognizing
00:44:06.300 a Palestinian state?
00:44:07.620 Put aside the fact
00:44:08.980 that any Palestinian state
00:44:10.420 is basically impractical.
00:44:12.840 I don't,
00:44:13.360 you've got the,
00:44:14.280 you've got Gaza,
00:44:15.560 then you've got Israel,
00:44:16.580 and then you've got
00:44:17.000 the West Bank,
00:44:17.740 and you're going to make
00:44:18.260 a Palestinian state
00:44:19.300 out of two territories
00:44:20.340 that are extremely
00:44:21.440 densely populated,
00:44:22.420 that are separated
00:44:23.060 by their sworn enemy.
00:44:25.720 And then in the charter,
00:44:27.120 the Hamas charter,
00:44:28.120 Hamas which governs Gaza,
00:44:29.740 you've got the basic aim
00:44:31.860 of the state
00:44:32.860 is to destroy the state
00:44:34.440 in between you
00:44:35.660 and the other part
00:44:36.780 of your state.
00:44:38.260 Practically,
00:44:38.740 I have no idea
00:44:39.060 how that's going to work.
00:44:39.880 But again,
00:44:41.080 I'm not making any claims
00:44:42.120 about the land
00:44:42.760 and who's got the right to it
00:44:43.940 and bringing in
00:44:45.000 some grand theological claim,
00:44:46.800 novel or otherwise.
00:44:48.360 What do we get out of that?
00:44:49.700 Why on earth
00:44:50.280 would we do that?
00:44:52.000 Well,
00:44:52.420 because that
00:44:54.480 will pacify
00:44:55.840 the Palestinians
00:44:57.680 or the Iranians
00:44:59.280 who are backing
00:44:59.760 a lot of this conflict.
00:45:01.700 Oh,
00:45:02.120 it will?
00:45:03.240 Really?
00:45:03.820 Yeah,
00:45:04.020 you just give them
00:45:04.580 a little bit more land
00:45:05.600 and then
00:45:06.340 how is that
00:45:08.720 supposed to pacify them?
00:45:11.120 The aim
00:45:11.960 of Iran
00:45:13.540 and of the
00:45:14.940 Palestinian
00:45:15.740 Arabs
00:45:17.060 is to
00:45:18.380 obliterate Israel.
00:45:20.440 As long as
00:45:21.360 the United States
00:45:22.260 funds Israel,
00:45:23.460 we fund 6.5%
00:45:24.380 of the Israeli military,
00:45:25.500 we treat Israel
00:45:27.240 as one of our
00:45:28.240 greatest allies
00:45:28.820 on the face of the earth,
00:45:29.540 as long as we continue
00:45:30.420 to do that
00:45:30.920 and prop up
00:45:31.460 the state of Israel.
00:45:32.740 They're going to hate us.
00:45:33.700 Still,
00:45:34.000 you think it's going
00:45:34.740 to be good enough?
00:45:35.380 Are you kidding me?
00:45:36.400 Are you that naive?
00:45:37.960 So,
00:45:38.260 okay,
00:45:38.980 maybe
00:45:39.400 you're of the persuasion
00:45:41.680 that we should just
00:45:42.320 ditch Israel
00:45:43.000 and get out of that alliance
00:45:44.660 and stop giving them money
00:45:45.620 and stop prop.
00:45:46.340 Okay,
00:45:47.380 and then when we do that,
00:45:49.020 the Israelis,
00:45:49.840 a major war will break out
00:45:51.380 and potentially
00:45:51.960 the Jews get wiped out
00:45:53.480 in the region.
00:45:54.100 And one,
00:45:57.040 is that a good thing?
00:45:58.380 But two,
00:45:59.660 put those moral considerations
00:46:00.680 aside for a second.
00:46:01.680 How does that benefit us?
00:46:02.800 How does any of this benefit us?
00:46:04.340 Like what?
00:46:04.940 Ah,
00:46:05.620 oh man,
00:46:06.520 I don't,
00:46:07.080 I'm not saying
00:46:08.180 I'm Count von Metternich here.
00:46:09.480 I'm not saying
00:46:10.040 that I am
00:46:10.680 the greatest
00:46:12.600 grand strategic thinker
00:46:13.720 in the world,
00:46:14.260 but
00:46:14.360 I do know
00:46:16.600 that the Biden administration
00:46:17.640 and these doofuses
00:46:19.000 who are running
00:46:20.140 the State Department,
00:46:21.160 I do know
00:46:21.600 that they are pretty much
00:46:22.500 the worst grand strategic thinkers
00:46:24.100 in the world.
00:46:25.260 So anyone else
00:46:26.420 is probably doing
00:46:27.200 better than them.
00:46:28.440 When it comes to
00:46:29.500 international relations,
00:46:31.000 just looking at the track record
00:46:32.240 of Joe Biden here,
00:46:33.960 two major wars
00:46:35.060 breaking out
00:46:35.880 just in the three years
00:46:37.420 that he's been around.
00:46:38.800 I think it's safe to say
00:46:40.020 that whatever they are
00:46:40.860 inclined to do,
00:46:41.880 do the opposite.
00:46:42.500 With 20 years reporting
00:46:43.460 on the markets,
00:46:44.140 I know that some industries
00:46:45.340 are built to last,
00:46:46.400 but others are built to lead.
00:46:48.140 John Oelichman here.
00:46:48.840 If you want exposure
00:46:49.900 to what's really shaping
00:46:51.040 our world,
00:46:51.620 think beyond trends.
00:46:53.440 Think defense,
00:46:54.300 healthcare,
00:46:55.020 telecom,
00:46:55.680 real estate,
00:46:56.340 gold,
00:46:56.900 crypto.
00:46:57.520 They're not just headlines,
00:46:58.640 they're foundations.

00:47:19.740 Speaking of jihadis,
00:47:23.500 jihadis are threatening
00:47:24.800 more attacks
00:47:25.600 on Americans.
00:47:28.180 According to
00:47:29.220 Sami Abu Dzuri,
00:47:32.100 a senior Hamas spokesperson,
00:47:34.560 oh, I hate you,
00:47:35.480 see how the liberals
00:47:36.540 infect your language,
00:47:37.760 they make you speak
00:47:38.700 their PC gobbledygook?
00:47:40.680 Spokesperson.
00:47:42.460 Like spokesper daughter,
00:47:43.800 you can't say son,
00:47:44.540 that's masculine.
00:47:45.020 This Hamas spokesman says,
00:47:47.240 the killing of three Americans
00:47:48.480 is a message
00:47:50.500 to the American administration
00:47:53.680 that unless the killing
00:47:54.980 of innocent people
00:47:55.700 in Gaza stops,
00:47:57.480 it must
00:47:58.420 confront the entire
00:48:00.500 Ummah,
00:48:01.180 so the entire
00:48:01.920 Arab Muslim world.
00:48:04.840 The continuation
00:48:05.860 of the American
00:48:07.240 Zionist aggression
00:48:08.100 against Gaza
00:48:08.640 is capable of setting
00:48:09.480 the entire region
00:48:10.360 ablaze.
00:48:11.280 Okay.
00:48:14.100 The Israeli,
00:48:15.320 the rational Israeli
00:48:16.880 aim
00:48:17.660 in the war
00:48:18.460 is to
00:48:19.080 get rid of the
00:48:20.220 Palestinians
00:48:20.660 in Gaza.
00:48:22.160 I'm not saying
00:48:22.580 necessarily kill all of them,
00:48:24.160 but, you know,
00:48:24.600 just get them out of the region
00:48:25.520 because they say
00:48:25.980 it's too big a security threat.
00:48:28.000 The aim of
00:48:29.200 the Palestinians
00:48:30.120 and the government
00:48:31.360 representatives of the Palestinians
00:48:32.500 is to get rid of
00:48:33.420 the Israelis.
00:48:34.700 I'm not saying necessarily
00:48:35.780 by killing all of them,
00:48:36.720 though probably
00:48:37.480 they wouldn't be opposed to it,
00:48:38.940 but even just
00:48:39.920 getting them to move back
00:48:41.140 somewhere else.
00:48:42.260 All right,
00:48:42.420 that's it.
00:48:43.160 The aim of
00:48:44.320 these two groups
00:48:45.340 that are at war
00:48:46.040 is the total
00:48:47.440 annihilation
00:48:48.060 of the other group.
00:48:50.400 So,
00:48:51.060 are we going to,
00:48:51.880 are we as Americans
00:48:52.680 going to support
00:48:53.360 either of those things?
00:48:54.720 No,
00:48:55.200 I don't think so.
00:48:57.700 Seems pretty ghastly.
00:48:59.340 I don't,
00:48:59.680 I don't see
00:49:00.320 an American administration,
00:49:01.660 even a Republican one,
00:49:02.760 saying we're just gonna
00:49:03.480 get rid of all,
00:49:05.100 we're gonna ethnically
00:49:05.680 cleanse the
00:49:06.380 Palestinian territories.
00:49:08.640 And likewise,
00:49:09.380 I don't see
00:49:10.000 an administration,
00:49:10.780 even the most
00:49:11.200 left-wing one,
00:49:12.100 saying we're gonna
00:49:12.920 just route
00:49:13.860 all the Jews
00:49:14.560 out of Israel.
00:49:15.820 So,
00:49:16.140 neither of the
00:49:17.160 war aims
00:49:18.080 for these two
00:49:19.200 belligerents
00:49:19.960 are in our interest.
00:49:22.040 So,
00:49:22.220 the only thing
00:49:22.900 that can be
00:49:23.420 in our interest
00:49:23.980 is to get the war
00:49:25.340 to wind down,
00:49:25.940 to contain it,
00:49:26.820 and to get the war
00:49:27.320 to wind down
00:49:27.740 and not drag on forever.
00:49:28.900 That's it.
00:49:29.360 Because the longer
00:49:29.860 it drags on,
00:49:30.840 the bigger
00:49:31.320 the opportunity
00:49:32.040 for it to escalate
00:49:32.940 as it already has.
00:49:34.120 The more that our
00:49:35.020 troops are in harm's way,
00:49:36.440 the more likely
00:49:37.140 they will be attacked
00:49:37.920 because they know
00:49:38.580 that we're bankrolling
00:49:39.360 the state of Israel.
00:49:40.820 And so,
00:49:41.960 the only thing
00:49:42.960 that we can do
00:49:43.360 if we really
00:49:43.900 want to ramp this down,
00:49:45.940 if we want to
00:49:46.740 really minimize our risk,
00:49:48.480 is to contain
00:49:49.280 and ramp down
00:49:50.100 the war
00:49:50.900 between these two
00:49:52.020 belligerents.
00:49:53.260 That's the Reagan doctrine.
00:49:54.520 That's what Reagan
00:49:55.080 did in Lebanon.
00:49:56.860 And that's what,
00:49:58.040 we always invoke
00:49:58.940 Saint Ronald,
00:50:00.200 Saint Ronald
00:50:01.160 of the Blessed Rawhide.
00:50:02.740 Well,
00:50:03.120 we might take his
00:50:04.780 views into consideration
00:50:05.920 today.
00:50:06.240 Speaking of bad news,
00:50:09.040 Elmo has gone viral.
00:50:11.180 Elmo,
00:50:11.760 like the Muppet,
00:50:13.240 he's gone viral
00:50:13.920 for asking
00:50:15.980 how everyone's doing.
00:50:19.600 That's it.
00:50:20.060 Is it,
00:50:21.380 Elmo here?
00:50:22.540 I guess that's Mickey.
00:50:23.820 I can't do a good,
00:50:25.820 Professor Jacob,
00:50:26.680 can you do an Elmo?
00:50:30.740 That's pretty good,
00:50:31.620 actually.
00:50:31.780 He has a good one.
00:50:32.320 I don't,
00:50:32.580 I say,
00:50:33.020 Elmo,
00:50:34.300 just checking in.
00:50:35.100 How's everybody doing?
00:50:38.600 Forgive the impression.
00:50:39.880 That's simple enough,
00:50:40.720 right?
00:50:41.300 And there was a deluge
00:50:44.220 of whining
00:50:46.340 that came out.
00:50:47.280 It was funny.
00:50:47.800 A lot of it was ironic.
00:50:49.720 Some of it maybe wasn't.
00:50:50.820 David Leavitt said,
00:50:52.620 Elmo,
00:50:52.960 I'm suffering
00:50:53.480 from existential dread,
00:50:56.080 from hopelessness.
00:50:58.800 Someone said,
00:50:59.660 every morning
00:51:00.320 I cannot wait
00:51:01.140 to go back to sleep.
00:51:02.780 Every Monday
00:51:03.380 I cannot wait
00:51:04.060 for Friday to come
00:51:05.100 every single day
00:51:06.540 and every single week
00:51:08.060 of the year.
00:51:11.480 Ziegler,
00:51:12.120 Rachel Ziegler,
00:51:13.280 who is that,
00:51:14.140 she's playing
00:51:14.600 the new Snow White
00:51:15.360 in the Disney movie.
00:51:16.200 She goes,
00:51:16.580 resisting the urge
00:51:17.360 to tell Elmo
00:51:17.980 I'm kind of sad.
00:51:18.840 And so some of these
00:51:19.400 are funny.
00:51:20.320 A lot of these
00:51:21.060 are funny
00:51:21.440 and good responses.
00:51:23.040 But I just responded.
00:51:23.800 I said,
00:51:23.920 I'm doing very well.
00:51:25.040 Thank you for asking.
00:51:25.560 Because
00:51:26.220 whatever happened
00:51:29.580 to suffering
00:51:30.580 in silence,
00:51:31.640 huh?
00:51:32.440 Whatever happened
00:51:33.440 to kiss it up
00:51:34.480 to God
00:51:34.900 and keep your mouth
00:51:36.960 shut and have
00:51:37.360 a stiff upper lip?
00:51:38.360 I know that a lot
00:51:39.720 of these are jokes,
00:51:41.040 but I have noticed
00:51:42.480 people whine
00:51:44.040 and complain
00:51:44.940 about their own
00:51:46.420 supposed suffering
00:51:48.000 all the time.
00:51:49.040 And we know
00:51:49.380 we live in a victim
00:51:50.180 economy now
00:51:50.920 where being able
00:51:52.160 to claim
00:51:52.700 some struggle
00:51:53.500 will get you
00:51:54.580 more social currency.
00:51:55.700 And so everyone
00:51:56.160 does it all the time.
00:51:56.980 And it's really annoying.
00:51:57.920 I have to catch myself.
00:51:58.980 Oh, I'm tired.
00:52:00.040 Oh, I don't have
00:52:01.740 any more cigars.
00:52:02.880 Oh, I don't.
00:52:03.640 Oh, no.
00:52:04.320 The cigar bar closed
00:52:05.300 before I finished
00:52:06.060 wrapping my show
00:52:06.820 in Santa Barbara,
00:52:07.660 so I'm not going to be able
00:52:08.360 to be able to.
00:52:08.380 Whatever it is.
00:52:09.160 Okay, I'm just using
00:52:09.680 hypotheticals here.
00:52:11.700 You've got to cut it out.
00:52:13.060 Complain.
00:52:13.380 It's like radon
00:52:16.160 in a home.
00:52:17.000 You know,
00:52:17.180 it just kind of
00:52:17.780 it's poison
00:52:18.740 that you don't
00:52:19.340 really notice right away.
00:52:20.460 And it just
00:52:20.720 ah, it just makes you sick.
00:52:23.000 Cut it out.
00:52:24.180 When Elmo asks you
00:52:25.040 how you're doing,
00:52:25.660 you say,
00:52:26.520 I'm doing well.
00:52:27.900 Thank you, Elmo.
00:52:28.520 How are you?
00:52:29.940 All right.
00:52:31.080 That's our show.
00:52:32.020 It is
00:52:32.640 Theology Thursday.
00:52:33.900 And though I am on the road,
00:52:35.640 and though I'm not able
00:52:36.720 to necessarily interact
00:52:38.340 because Professor Jacob
00:52:39.240 didn't bring me
00:52:39.860 my special iPad,
00:52:41.000 so I'm going to have
00:52:41.300 to defenestrate him,
00:52:42.180 we did get
00:52:43.360 an interview
00:52:44.580 with my friend
00:52:45.500 Father Benedict Keeley
00:52:46.760 all the way
00:52:47.940 from across the ocean
00:52:48.900 from Canterbury.
00:52:50.560 So we'll bring that on
00:52:51.620 for Theology Thursday.
00:52:53.300 We'll get to the mailbag
00:52:54.120 tomorrow,
00:52:54.640 and then
00:52:55.020 I'll get to interact
00:52:57.180 with you
00:52:57.640 in real time again
00:52:58.780 very, very soon.
00:53:00.380 Theology History Thursday.
