00:00:30.360 150 Democrat congressmen just voted against deporting illegal aliens convicted of DUIs.

00:00:37.180 We are not talking about so-called victimless crimes here.

00:00:41.000 As End Wokeness pointed out, in just one case, an illegal alien named Jose Menjivar with three DUI

00:00:48.500 convictions killed a 46-year-old woman and her teenage son last month during his third DUI incident and

00:00:57.260 was released without jail four days before the crash.

00:01:01.720 We are talking about real crimes with real consequences in the real world.

00:01:06.560 If the federal government enforced our nation's most basic laws, those Americans would still 0.92

00:01:11.880 be alive.

00:01:12.460 But they don't enforce those laws. 0.85

00:01:15.100 They don't even hold the illegal aliens responsible for the other major crimes they commit while 1.00

00:01:21.960 they are here.

00:01:22.600 This is the perfect encapsulation of America last policymaking.

00:01:29.700 It's almost a pathology.

00:01:30.940 Our elected officials can't do enough for foreigners, even foreign criminals, even especially dangerous 1.00

00:01:39.660 foreign criminals. 0.90

00:01:40.420 And even more astounding, they can't seem to do much of anything for actual Americans.

00:01:46.920 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:47.640 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:48.520 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:09.740 The congressional sex tape producer is not being prosecuted by the federal government.

00:02:16.080 Stop the presses.

00:02:17.080 Surprise of the year.

00:02:17.540 We'll get to that story in just a moment.

00:02:19.360 First, though, speaking of the government prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens, a Boston

00:02:27.380 man has gone viral after the city of Boston turned a park in a predominantly black neighborhood

00:02:32.780 into housing for illegal aliens.

00:02:36.280 And this local resident did not take very kindly to it.

00:02:42.000 No equal to live here.

00:02:44.320 And I've been here my own as I can, girl.

00:02:46.760 Because I can't yell.

00:02:49.440 Because I can't yell.

00:02:53.100 And I'm angry.

00:02:55.400 That's why.

00:02:56.180 I hear you.

00:02:57.400 I do hear you.

00:02:58.100 So why can't I get in the building?

00:02:59.780 Because you can't get in right now.

00:03:01.240 No one can do it.

00:03:02.100 Why?

00:03:02.920 Where's the man right? 0.99

00:03:06.740 Y'all, this town's a ****, yo. 0.98

00:03:09.700 It's all about **** money. 1.00

00:03:11.240 It's a **** money crap. 1.00

00:03:12.520 Don't give a **** about the **** that was born and **** raised here. 1.00

00:03:17.260 Y'all raised to **** rich so **** high.

00:03:23.480 Can't afford to live here. 0.68

00:03:25.080 But y'all going to bring some other **** here?

00:03:27.640 That doesn't **** add up.

00:03:29.060 It doesn't make no **** sense.

00:03:32.800 None.

00:03:34.160 None.

00:03:35.420 I'm **** homeless.

00:03:37.060 I work a full-time job.

00:03:39.020 40 hours.

00:03:41.520 And can't pay to live here.

00:03:44.400 How the **** are y'all going to bring somebody else here? 0.55

00:03:46.840 Don't make no **** sense. 0.93

00:03:52.660 None.

00:03:56.880 Totally agree.

00:03:58.040 It don't make no **** sense.

00:04:00.140 Absolutely.

00:04:01.220 The guy has every right to be upset about that.

00:04:04.500 This is someone who lives in America.

00:04:07.880 He works.

00:04:08.860 He pays his taxes, presumably.

00:04:11.140 And he doesn't get to use his public services

00:04:13.360 because those are all being diverted to illegal aliens.

00:04:18.860 From all Americans. 0.83

00:04:20.160 It'd be one thing.

00:04:21.060 If services and institutions were only being diverted 0.99

00:04:24.940 from the awful, terrible, rich white people or something, 0.99

00:04:29.060 then probably everyone would just move along. 0.99

00:04:32.560 But it's not.

00:04:33.120 It's from all Americans.

00:04:34.540 The white people, the black people, the wealthy people, the poor people. 0.80

00:04:37.320 It's all being diverted to illegal aliens when it is convenient. 0.93

00:04:43.360 By the city officials.

00:04:45.900 Why is that?

00:04:47.220 Why are foreigners being prioritized in front of everyone in the country?

00:04:51.780 I think this ties into the decolonization rhetoric

00:04:55.880 that we've been hearing in recent months and years.

00:04:59.300 I think this ties into the notion that we don't really have any right to be here.

00:05:04.560 The United States, we're terribly privileged.

00:05:06.940 Everyone across all demographics of every class, we're terribly privileged.

00:05:10.680 This is stolen land.

00:05:11.840 It's like all of those little email sign-offs

00:05:14.360 from the really woke people at the universities.

00:05:17.020 The email sign-offs that say,

00:05:18.920 this is to acknowledge that we're on the land of the Hakuhuhuhiki people

00:05:22.080 and we don't have any right to be here

00:05:24.320 and we don't have any right to have national borders

00:05:26.980 and anyone who wants to come in and take our property.

00:05:30.660 You absolutely should.

00:05:32.120 We're the worst people in the world.

00:05:33.720 Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

00:05:36.020 And this is how the elites think.

00:05:38.480 It's the elites who are putting those kinds of land acknowledgements

00:05:41.360 and self-flagellations into their email signatures.

00:05:45.060 And ordinary Americans are saying,

00:05:46.640 hey, what is going on?

00:05:48.460 This doesn't make any sense at all.

00:05:51.240 And you can hear from the frustration in his voice.

00:05:53.920 He says, I'm working a full-time job.

00:05:56.280 I'm doing everything.

00:05:57.460 And I can't even go to the park.

00:05:59.700 Now, speaking of working a full-time job,

00:06:03.900 there is a young woman who has gone viral

00:06:06.980 for making a little TikTok video

00:06:09.940 saying that she works a lot

00:06:12.200 and she doesn't have enough time and money 1.00

00:06:14.980 to really enjoy anything in her life outside of work.

00:06:18.740 And conservatives are attacking her

00:06:20.920 and saying she's got to pull herself up by her bootstraps

00:06:24.500 and stiff up her lip and all the rest of it. 1.00

00:06:26.020 But that's not exactly my take on what she is saying.

00:06:30.600 Why is it that I have to work 40 hours a week

00:06:37.080 just so I can have a place to live?

00:06:40.280 40 hours a week makes me $2,000 a month

00:06:44.500 and my rent is $1,660.

00:06:48.980 So I work 40 hours a week

00:06:50.780 so I can have a two-bedroom apartment

00:06:52.840 and an extra $300 a month.

00:06:57.080 Like, it doesn't cover my phone, internet, food, you know?

00:07:02.060 So not only do I not have any extra money,

00:07:06.680 but just working makes me so exhausted

00:07:11.800 that I don't have time either.

00:07:16.020 Like, I get off work at 5.30,

00:07:19.100 come home, I'm just so tired.

00:07:22.660 I'm so tired that, like,

00:07:27.840 anything that I need to do outside of work,

00:07:30.380 I then just push off to, like, the weekend.

00:07:32.740 And I'm like, I'm just too tired to do this after work.

00:07:34.940 I'll wait until Saturday.

00:07:36.520 So then I end up with so much to do on the weekend

00:07:38.880 that ends up having to be split into two days.

00:07:41.880 So I have to do stuff on both Saturday and Sunday.

00:07:45.480 So then I don't get a day off.

00:07:48.540 I don't get a day to relax.

00:07:50.460 I don't get to decompress.

00:07:52.980 So it is really like working seven days a week, constantly.

00:08:00.420 And I don't want to do that anymore, right?

00:08:03.900 Like, I don't care how poor and miserable I would have to be,

00:08:09.380 but I literally can't have a place to live without this, you know?

00:08:15.300 Like, I don't know what to do.

00:08:19.020 I'm not, I'm not made for this.

00:08:23.600 I don't have the money, time, or energy

00:08:27.760 to enjoy my life outside of work.

00:08:31.820 And I don't know what to do about it anymore, you know?

00:08:36.660 I'm so tired.

00:08:37.720 I know the conservatives are making fun of her

00:08:43.740 because they're saying, oh, listen here, snowflake,

00:08:46.420 you know, quit your belly aching.

00:08:47.600 40 hours, that's not so hard.

00:08:49.500 When I was a kid, I used to walk uphill both ways in the snow

00:08:53.040 and I'd work 400 hours a week.

00:08:55.860 And I never once grumbled about it, you snowflake.

00:08:59.880 But that's not really my take on it.

00:09:01.400 I totally sympathize with her.

00:09:03.660 I empathize with her.

00:09:05.200 You know, I remember when I was younger

00:09:07.040 and I wasn't quite sure where my career was going

00:09:10.400 and I hadn't quite settled down into my personal life.

00:09:12.980 And that was before we hit this period of massive inflation

00:09:16.420 where people can't afford anything.

00:09:18.440 When my wife goes to the grocery store,

00:09:20.280 the eggs cost like $50 each at this point, you know?

00:09:22.900 And they're college-educated, organic, pasture-raised,

00:09:26.300 you know, properly pedigreed eggs.

00:09:28.540 But still, all the groceries are like that.

00:09:30.900 And the rents have gone through the roof.

00:09:32.860 And what this woman is saying is,

00:09:35.480 I have trouble affording my rent.

00:09:37.900 I have trouble affording my groceries.

00:09:39.500 I'm working 40 hours a week at a job that is not satisfying to me.

00:09:43.420 And then I got to do my chores and errands on the weekends.

00:09:47.380 But I don't have anyone with whom to split the bills.

00:09:50.880 And I don't have anyone to take care of some of the chores.

00:09:54.380 And I'm suffering from a crisis, not just of money and not just of work,

00:10:00.720 but a crisis of meaning.

00:10:02.540 That's what she's really saying.

00:10:03.680 That's what that last line at the end there is,

00:10:06.340 is I wasn't made for this.

00:10:08.720 And that's true.

00:10:09.640 What she's talking about is living in a world long after industrialization,

00:10:16.100 long after the breakdown of civic society,

00:10:19.200 a world long after the breakdown of community,

00:10:21.680 where she feels isolated and she's living alone

00:10:24.120 and she's carrying that burden herself.

00:10:25.840 And the jobs have become so specialized and seemingly meaningless

00:10:30.240 that she doesn't see any point in them at all,

00:10:32.760 doesn't really see the fruits of her effort.

00:10:34.620 And she gets to the end of it and she says,

00:10:35.980 I don't even have leisure.

00:10:37.220 And I'm not sure, frankly,

00:10:38.420 I think what's implied by our present state of society is,

00:10:41.860 I don't even know what I would do if I did have leisure time.

00:10:44.280 And I don't feel that I was made for this.

00:10:46.960 And I think she's totally right.

00:10:48.580 We were not made for this.

00:10:50.120 We're made to be part of a community.

00:10:51.680 We're made to have a sense of our purpose.

00:10:53.660 We're made to start families and have children.

00:10:57.220 And we're made to not just be automatons.

00:11:01.920 But I don't even know what this woman's particular job is. 0.99

00:11:05.660 But work increasingly over the last 150 years

00:11:09.860 has turned human beings into cogs in a machine.

00:11:12.460 And that's a problem.

00:11:13.940 It's a problem especially when the other aspects of life

00:11:17.200 that give you meaning, religion, family, community, leisure activities,

00:11:22.320 all go away. 0.88

00:11:23.840 And so you're just left saying, what the hell am I even doing?

00:11:26.280 I totally, totally sympathize.

00:11:28.900 We have to restore some kind of balance.

00:11:30.460 With 20 years reporting on the markets,

00:11:32.440 I know that some industries are built to last,

00:11:34.720 but others are built to lead.

00:11:36.460 John Oelichman here.

00:11:37.360 If you want exposure to what's really shaping our world,

00:11:40.160 think beyond trends.

00:11:41.700 Think defense, healthcare, telecom, real estate, gold, crypto.

00:12:08.680 Turning from a woman, 0.99

00:12:11.140 I think, justly complaining or understandably complaining

00:12:14.940 to a woman who is not understandably complaining,

00:12:17.700 we turn now to Sunny Hostin from The View,

00:12:21.220 who insists that most Americans are racist. 0.88

00:12:26.420 There are absolutely racist people in this country.

00:12:29.060 It is not the vast majority of people in this country.

00:12:31.380 And I feel like we got...

00:12:32.620 We don't know that.

00:12:33.180 The FBI director said white supremacy 0.62

00:12:34.520 is the biggest threat to our country today.

00:12:37.020 Well, that still doesn't mean that

00:12:38.000 that's the vast majority of people.

00:12:39.360 I just don't believe that in my day-to-day life

00:12:41.580 that the people that you're encountering

00:12:43.280 harbor racist viewpoints.

00:12:44.700 I do think that this division that we're creating...

00:12:47.060 If you look like me, you would believe differently.

00:12:48.400 But you know what, Alyssa,

00:12:49.640 the woman... 1.00

00:12:51.440 But just to understand,

00:12:53.200 are we saying,

00:12:53.840 do we think the vast majority of Americans are racist?

00:12:56.080 That's what I'm trying to...

00:12:56.760 Help me understand.

00:12:57.380 I think that there is a significant portion

00:12:59.760 that are racist, 0.76

00:13:01.660 and you can't dismiss my lived experience.

00:13:04.280 I never would say.

00:13:05.660 I would never dismiss it.

00:13:06.660 When I say that there are a lot of racists in this country,

00:13:10.780 I just experienced my son walking down the beach

00:13:14.400 being called the N-word several times in Florida.

00:13:18.960 There is...

00:13:19.480 So don't...

00:13:20.200 You can't say,

00:13:21.100 I believe that the vast majority of people aren't racist.

00:13:24.020 We don't know.

00:13:24.360 But again, we...

00:13:24.780 We don't know that.

00:13:25.640 Okay, that's fair.

00:13:25.960 There are 300 million people in this country.

00:13:27.680 I would never minimize your lived experience

00:13:29.440 any more than I would mine as an Arab woman. 0.98

00:13:31.520 The majority of Americans are racist, 0.98

00:13:38.140 even though there's no... 0.99

00:13:40.600 And by racist, of course,

00:13:41.960 Sonny Hostin does not mean people attacking whites

00:13:45.820 for the color of their skin by law or by culture.

00:13:48.160 No, no, no.

00:13:48.540 It can't be that

00:13:49.100 because you can't be racist against white people.

00:13:51.520 No, no. 0.98

00:13:51.840 It's got to be racism against black people 0.94

00:13:53.440 and to a much lesser degree, 0.91

00:13:54.820 every other race.

00:13:55.640 And this is not borne out by any statistics.

00:13:58.300 This is not borne out by any particular trends

00:14:01.020 that anyone can point to.

00:14:02.000 So, of course, Sonny Hostin has to say,

00:14:03.540 well, no, the proof is my personal anecdotes

00:14:06.220 and you ought to believe me.

00:14:07.200 Though, Sonny Hostin is not really all that credible.

00:14:11.600 As Nick Fondacaro points out,

00:14:15.200 as this clip went viral,

00:14:16.740 she's been known to spread these sorts of hoaxes before. 0.99

00:14:20.740 But we hear this kind of stuff all the time.

00:14:22.820 No, no, no.

00:14:23.820 Look, whatever the statistics show,

00:14:26.100 whatever you have experienced in your own personal life,

00:14:28.700 just trust us. 0.64

00:14:29.560 America is deeply, profoundly racist. 0.90

00:14:34.160 There's no answer to it.

00:14:36.700 I don't think that line works quite as well anymore.

00:14:41.680 But it is the consistent cheat of left-wing scoundrels.

00:14:50.940 It is the, once you've run out of every other argument,

00:14:53.880 once you've run out of every other tactic in politics,

00:14:58.460 then you just cut to saying,

00:15:00.020 well, my opponents are terrible racists and that's that.

00:15:02.980 And if you dare ask me for evidence, 1.00

00:15:05.300 oh boy, then you're a racist too.

00:15:07.020 How dare you question my lived experience 0.66

00:15:09.060 with these pesky little things like facts and statistics and history.

00:15:14.380 That's always what it will get to.

00:15:16.780 And you're going to hear a lot more of it in this election cycle

00:15:18.760 because there's not very much for the Democrats to brag about.

00:15:22.740 The economy is in shambles.

00:15:23.800 We're on the brink of World War III.

00:15:25.260 We don't have any borders effectively.

00:15:28.180 You've got illegal aliens being let off the hook for additional crimes 1.00

00:15:31.480 that they commit in this country.

00:15:32.920 They've got nothing.

00:15:33.640 And so truly the only argument they're going to have,

00:15:37.260 they're going to try to pretend that the economy is better than it is.

00:15:40.300 And then after that, they're going to say, 0.55

00:15:41.560 well, you're a racist, aren't you? 0.90

00:15:45.360 That's the evidence. 0.98

00:15:47.180 It's proof positive that all the other issues for the Democrats

00:15:49.940 are not going very well.

00:15:51.940 Now, speaking of media figures,

00:15:53.700 there is an undercover right-wing investigation par excellence

00:16:01.400 by way of James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas,

00:16:05.820 who now runs a new organization called OMG, the O'Keefe Media Group.

00:16:11.520 James went on a date, apparently,

00:16:15.980 with a top cybersecurity official at the White House.

00:16:19.860 This is a fella. 0.92

00:16:20.620 So James pretended to be a gay guy.

00:16:23.760 And he interviewed him over dinner and drinks

00:16:27.440 to figure out if Joe Biden's going to be the nominee,

00:16:31.400 if Kamala Harris is going to be the vice presidential nominee, 0.83

00:16:33.720 and if Democrats in the White House are excited about that prospect.

00:16:39.820 I work in the White House.

00:16:41.160 So you're pretty high up in the government.

00:16:44.280 Yeah, I'm fairly high up.

00:16:45.300 I'm good at keeping secrets.

00:16:46.240 And so I manage two federal agencies,

00:16:49.580 the State Department and USAID.

00:16:51.040 So when you say security,

00:16:53.620 like you're protecting...

00:16:55.360 The networks of the federal agency.

00:16:57.400 You give all your information to.

00:16:59.280 The mission is to protect information.

00:17:03.060 We are like the president's voice

00:17:06.080 when we go into meetings

00:17:07.500 in terms of discussing

00:17:09.180 and promoting the president's priorities.

00:17:11.580 Is he going to be the nominee?

00:17:14.700 Yes.

00:17:15.700 And she will be the vice president nominee.

00:17:18.600 Yeah, I don't...

00:17:19.400 There was a debate about removing her from the ticket,

00:17:21.780 but sadly they didn't.

00:17:23.460 She can't keep Black's staff. 0.99

00:17:25.220 They quit on her in mass.

00:17:27.100 But with him, I mean...

00:17:28.900 Yeah, I know.

00:17:29.460 I know.

00:17:30.080 He's got dementia.

00:17:32.480 Yeah, well, he's definitely slowing down.

00:17:34.900 But they know that he has those issues.

00:17:36.860 I think so.

00:17:37.220 But they're not willing to say it.

00:17:38.080 I mean, the polling shows that.

00:17:39.200 They're not willing to say it publicly.

00:17:40.640 And same thing with Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:17:41.940 She's not popular,

00:17:42.840 but you can't remove the first black lady 1.00

00:17:45.840 to be vice president

00:17:47.120 from the presidential ticket.

00:17:49.380 I see.

00:17:49.800 What kind of message are you going to send

00:17:50.960 to, like, an African-American voter?

00:17:52.900 How would you spin that?

00:17:54.580 People would be like, 0.98

00:17:55.240 what the f***? 0.99

00:17:56.140 Like, she's a woman 0.99

00:17:57.580 and she's multiracial. 1.00

00:17:58.960 I think that they're really concerned about this.

00:18:01.420 But they won't say it.

00:18:03.000 Well, I guess if they say it publicly,

00:18:04.620 that Biden is...

00:18:05.580 Correct, they can't say it publicly.

00:18:05.660 They can't say it publicly.

00:18:07.840 No, no, they've got to throw the line.

00:18:09.400 But do they say it privately?

00:18:12.180 You got him.

00:18:13.660 He totally got this guy.

00:18:16.360 The best part of the undercover investigation,

00:18:18.960 of course,

00:18:19.820 is that James O'Keefe's disguise

00:18:21.760 is a pair of glasses

00:18:24.160 and a somewhat effeminate posture.

00:18:27.200 That was his whole disguise.

00:18:29.300 Clark Kent, he just goes in there.

00:18:31.860 So, can you tell me about

00:18:34.040 how much you all hate Biden and Kamala?

00:18:37.200 Oh, sure, random guy I just met.

00:18:39.760 You sure seem interested

00:18:40.740 in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

00:18:42.460 Why do you keep looking over

00:18:43.440 at that cameraman over there?

00:18:44.760 Anyway, yeah, 0.99

00:18:45.580 we think Biden's a big dummy 1.00

00:18:46.940 and he's totally demented. 1.00

00:18:48.140 And Kamala, we hate her 1.00

00:18:50.000 and we'd throw her overboard, 0.98

00:18:51.320 except she's the first 0.89

00:18:52.720 black female vice president.

00:18:54.920 And so we can't throw her overboard. 0.96

00:18:56.800 And if we tried to skip over her,

00:18:58.600 replace her with Gavin Newsom or somebody,

00:19:00.120 it would never work

00:19:01.000 because we'd all be called racists,

00:19:04.000 just like Sonny Hostin

00:19:05.300 did to everybody on The View.

00:19:06.400 So anyway, yeah.

00:19:07.900 Any other questions

00:19:08.980 that are extremely sensitive

00:19:10.820 that could get me in trouble

00:19:12.320 and make the White House look bad?

00:19:14.740 Hey, I could be wearing a name badge

00:19:15.860 and it says James O'Keefe.

00:19:17.080 That's right.

00:19:17.400 Anyway, I don't know.

00:19:19.480 This kind of a clip

00:19:21.080 is one of the things

00:19:22.860 that really starts

00:19:25.560 to disprove conspiracy theories

00:19:27.140 because if this guy,

00:19:30.140 if the top cybersecurity guy

00:19:31.820 over in the Biden administration

00:19:33.040 is this clumsy,

00:19:34.540 as James points out,

00:19:36.220 then I don't know,

00:19:37.080 maybe there isn't

00:19:37.720 a super competent evil cabal

00:19:39.240 who's running anything, everything.

00:19:41.200 And now the information

00:19:42.220 that we get here is not,

00:19:43.220 it's not sensitive in the sense

00:19:45.000 that we all knew this, right?

00:19:48.100 We all knew that Joe Biden is senile.

00:19:52.880 We all knew that Kamala Harris 1.00

00:19:55.200 is one of the worst politicians ever.

00:19:59.040 She's actually good

00:20:00.020 at getting herself

00:20:00.640 into positions of power,

00:20:01.780 but she's really bad with the public. 0.92

00:20:03.700 The public doesn't like her at all.

00:20:04.780 She can barely string together

00:20:05.780 a coherent sentence.

00:20:07.000 We all know the Democrats

00:20:08.020 want to replace not only Biden,

00:20:09.440 but also Kamala Harris.

00:20:10.460 And they can't do it

00:20:11.040 because Kamala Harris is a black lady 1.00

00:20:12.360 and they can't do it

00:20:13.240 because Biden's going to cling to power.

00:20:14.640 We know it.

00:20:15.420 I guess the value

00:20:16.280 in this kind of a sting

00:20:17.500 is to hear it from the horse's mouth.

00:20:21.860 The value in this kind of sting

00:20:22.940 is to living in an age

00:20:25.060 where we are constantly being gaslit,

00:20:27.560 to use the popular phrase,

00:20:29.000 in the age where we are constantly

00:20:30.260 being lied to

00:20:31.160 and told not to believe

00:20:32.380 our own lying eyes, 0.67

00:20:33.720 that the White House 0.82

00:20:34.420 thinks this stuff too.

00:20:35.360 And then you get

00:20:38.100 no less important

00:20:40.900 than the substance

00:20:41.800 of what this undercover

00:20:42.780 investigation reveals

00:20:43.640 is the theatrical flair

00:20:45.420 of James O'Keefe

00:20:46.940 revealing himself.

00:20:48.420 So you work in cybersecurity

00:20:49.980 for the White House

00:20:50.840 and my question is

00:20:54.120 what are you doing

00:20:55.780 on a meeting

00:20:58.200 with James O'Keefe?

00:21:00.700 What type of cybersecurity

00:21:01.860 operation are you guys

00:21:02.940 running over there?

00:21:03.560 We're running a good cybersecurity

00:21:06.420 operation.

00:21:06.720 Obviously not.

00:21:08.640 Obviously not.

00:21:09.420 You're sitting here with me.

00:21:11.320 Absolutely great stuff.

00:21:14.400 This is what we have

00:21:17.280 James O'Keefe for

00:21:18.060 is this kind of stuff.

00:21:19.640 But it won't matter at all.

00:21:22.000 Even though the Democrats

00:21:24.000 and the White House officials,

00:21:25.420 they all are seeing

00:21:26.520 the same things we're seeing.

00:21:27.400 They all know the same things

00:21:28.300 that we know.

00:21:29.220 It's not going to change.

00:21:31.140 You know, there have been

00:21:31.860 some people suggesting

00:21:33.520 that there is going to be

00:21:35.380 a politician ex machina

00:21:38.300 comes out of the wall

00:21:39.400 in the final act

00:21:40.180 of this election season

00:21:41.040 and it's going to be Newsom

00:21:42.280 or it's going to be

00:21:44.340 Michelle Obama.

00:21:46.300 That's the really popular one now.

00:21:47.680 Michelle Obama is going

00:21:49.080 to come out of the woodwork

00:21:50.140 at the convention

00:21:51.240 and she's going to,

00:21:52.680 they're going to kick out Biden

00:21:53.640 and they're going to kick out Kamala 1.00

00:21:54.980 and because Michelle is a black lady, 1.00

00:21:56.620 she can replace Kamala

00:21:57.580 and she's going to be

00:21:58.620 the top of the ticket

00:21:59.360 and she's going to win 57 states. 0.99

00:22:01.380 And I just don't buy it.

00:22:04.640 It's just so clever.

00:22:07.020 It's just so elaborate.

00:22:09.540 It assumes so much.

00:22:10.960 It assumes for one

00:22:11.680 that Michelle Obama

00:22:12.420 even wants to be president.

00:22:14.840 I don't think she really does.

00:22:17.020 I guess a lot of people

00:22:17.940 would like to be president,

00:22:18.960 but she's said many times,

00:22:20.140 I don't want to do

00:22:21.280 the kind of stuff

00:22:21.940 that my husband

00:22:22.540 had to go through.

00:22:23.960 So she wouldn't run.

00:22:25.180 Maybe she would accept it

00:22:26.000 at the convention,

00:22:26.520 but you still have to go

00:22:27.320 through the gamut,

00:22:28.640 even if you just accepted it there

00:22:29.960 in the general election

00:22:32.500 and then every minute

00:22:35.020 you're in office.

00:22:35.680 I just don't buy it.

00:22:37.200 And I don't think Biden's

00:22:37.920 going to give it up.

00:22:38.540 I think this is the race we've got 1.00

00:22:40.900 and some Republicans

00:22:42.500 are unhappy

00:22:43.200 that we've got Donald Trump

00:22:44.660 as the presumptive nominee,

00:22:46.120 but it should be a consolation

00:22:47.460 to those Republicans

00:22:48.160 that many, many Democrats

00:22:49.640 are just as unhappy

00:22:50.760 that Joe Biden

00:22:52.040 is at the top of the ticket.

00:22:53.540 And it's very funny

00:22:56.120 to see James O'Keefe

00:22:57.260 slightly limp his wrist

00:23:00.420 and put on a pair of glasses

00:23:01.960 and speak with a little

00:23:03.460 tiny bit of a lisp

00:23:04.420 and all of a sudden

00:23:05.240 nobody knows who he is.

00:23:06.920 Now, speaking of weird sex stuff,

00:23:09.560 there is a shocking new study out

00:23:11.920 about transgenderism,

00:23:13.100 which we'll get to in one second.

00:23:14.160 First, though,

00:23:15.320 we've got to talk

00:23:27.340 For most homeowners,

00:23:31.420 of a daunting task.

00:24:17.120 I had a carpenter

00:24:18.880 write to me,

00:24:19.420 unsolicited,

00:24:20.180 say that when he works

00:24:21.600 on homes with windows

00:24:22.440 from Renewal by Anderson,

00:24:24.200 it's the best he sees.

00:24:25.060 I have a cousin

00:24:39.720 My favorite comment yesterday

00:24:40.940 is from Cheryl Christensen

00:24:42.100 who says,

00:24:42.860 why is Zuckerberg

00:24:43.700 apologizing to parents

00:24:44.780 who provided these phones

00:24:45.860 to their kids,

00:24:46.820 but then didn't use

00:24:47.560 parental controls

00:24:48.340 or monitor their activity online.

00:24:50.160 That's the parents' responsibility.

00:24:51.760 I think because Zuckerberg

00:24:52.980 realized that if he turned

00:24:54.280 to a bunch of parents

00:24:55.340 who've had children

00:24:56.640 face tragedies

00:24:57.540 on social media

00:24:58.400 and said, 1.00

00:24:59.160 hey, screw you, 1.00

00:25:00.580 I'm not apologizing to you, 1.00

00:25:01.960 that would have looked

00:25:02.640 very bad.

00:25:03.740 So he just did

00:25:04.640 what he felt

00:25:05.900 optically he had to do

00:25:07.280 and politically he had to do.

00:25:08.960 And maybe he felt

00:25:09.820 it was the nice

00:25:10.460 and sensitive thing to do.

00:25:12.180 But I tend to agree.

00:25:14.260 Parents should not be 0.69

00:25:15.180 giving their kids

00:25:15.720 smartphones there.

00:25:17.540 And if you do give

00:25:18.680 your kid a smartphone

00:25:19.280 for whatever reason,

00:25:20.060 there should be a lot

00:25:20.600 of controls on it,

00:25:21.420 which probably one

00:25:22.260 can get around anyway.

00:25:23.340 But the fault

00:25:26.220 for all these terrible outcomes

00:25:28.620 for young people

00:25:29.200 on social media

00:25:29.800 does not lie primarily

00:25:31.140 with Mark Zuckerberg.

00:25:33.340 I'm happy to blame

00:25:34.380 Zuckerberg for a lot of stuff.

00:25:35.500 The guy may have thrown

00:25:36.280 the 2020 election

00:25:38.300 to Donald Trump,

00:25:40.540 or to Joe Biden rather,

00:25:41.720 by targeting Donald Trump.

00:25:43.140 He's done all sorts

00:25:44.000 of terrible things.

00:25:45.000 But I don't think

00:25:46.400 we can really blame him

00:25:47.360 for parents giving

00:25:48.080 their kids smartphones.

00:25:49.580 Okay, turning back 0.94

00:25:50.240 to weird sex stuff.

00:25:51.700 There is a new study out,

00:25:53.160 really, really shocking.

00:25:54.320 Pull over the car,

00:25:55.380 sit down if you're standing up.

00:25:56.760 The study shows

00:25:57.900 that people

00:25:58.980 who identify as transgender

00:26:00.740 have a bunch of other 0.93

00:26:02.660 psychological problems

00:26:04.620 associated with it.

00:26:06.980 Shocking, I know.

00:26:07.920 And the one,

00:26:08.740 the really prominent one, 0.96

00:26:10.820 is narcissistic

00:26:12.140 personality disorder.

00:26:13.560 So according to Carly Yuga,

00:26:15.960 in the study

00:26:16.780 of transgender patients,

00:26:18.260 the frequency

00:26:19.180 of personality disorders

00:26:20.480 was 81.4%.

00:26:22.560 More than four out of five

00:26:25.140 trans-identifying people

00:26:26.780 have some kind

00:26:27.380 of personality disorder.

00:26:28.600 In addition to

00:26:29.660 transgenderism,

00:26:31.700 which is itself 0.64

00:26:32.320 a personality disorder.

00:26:33.960 So in addition to that,

00:26:35.920 virtually all of them

00:26:36.780 have another one.

00:26:37.620 And the most frequent

00:26:38.460 personality disorder

00:26:39.400 was narcissistic

00:26:40.140 narcissistic personality disorder

00:26:41.520 at 57.1%,

00:26:43.780 which of course makes sense.

00:26:45.600 This is something

00:26:46.200 that anecdotally

00:26:46.980 we see about a lot of people

00:26:48.220 who make a big show

00:26:48.980 of themselves

00:26:49.420 and pretend to be

00:26:50.060 the opposite sex, 0.99

00:26:51.100 which is they're just

00:26:52.380 constantly seeking attention

00:26:54.500 and demanding attention.

00:26:56.080 This is why

00:26:56.900 the argument

00:26:58.600 that some of the

00:26:59.440 pro-trans activists make

00:27:00.620 that, you know,

00:27:01.220 these people just want

00:27:01.860 to be left alone

00:27:02.480 and how does it bother you

00:27:03.660 and just is so dishonest.

00:27:05.860 is because

00:27:07.420 for the entire

00:27:08.980 LGBT, LMNOP community,

00:27:11.000 it's not just about

00:27:12.740 being left alone.

00:27:13.460 It's about having

00:27:14.180 public streets

00:27:15.060 and it's about

00:27:15.680 jiggling around

00:27:17.240 in leather thongs

00:27:18.680 in public

00:27:19.420 during pride parades

00:27:20.560 and it's about

00:27:21.060 holding a drag queen 1.00

00:27:22.500 story hour

00:27:23.020 for your five-year-old

00:27:23.920 and it's about

00:27:24.560 injecting their ideology

00:27:26.880 and their desires

00:27:27.880 into curricula,

00:27:29.220 not only in college

00:27:30.720 and in high school

00:27:31.440 but all the way down

00:27:32.040 to elementary school.

00:27:33.180 And it's about putting 1.00

00:27:33.740 gay porn in kindergarten 1.00

00:27:34.800 is what it's about. 0.99

00:27:36.240 And specifically

00:27:37.340 on the transgender phenomenon,

00:27:39.100 well, I guess you've got

00:27:40.120 drag queen story hour

00:27:41.320 but it's about

00:27:41.860 going into the

00:27:43.340 women's bathrooms 1.00

00:27:44.040 and it's about

00:27:44.960 changing all sorts of laws

00:27:46.540 and it's about

00:27:47.960 rewriting the way

00:27:49.880 that we even use

00:27:50.480 the English language

00:27:51.160 so that we don't use

00:27:51.860 pronouns in the correct

00:27:52.740 way anymore.

00:27:53.260 It's just about

00:27:54.180 getting so much attention

00:27:55.620 all the time

00:27:56.280 and forcing everyone else

00:27:58.800 to bend their

00:28:01.300 perception of

00:28:03.760 and behavior

00:28:04.320 in the world

00:28:05.040 away from reality

00:28:07.340 and toward

00:28:08.360 whatever

00:28:09.140 subjective fantasy

00:28:10.620 the trans-identifying

00:28:11.860 people have

00:28:12.360 on any given day.

00:28:13.540 That one day

00:28:14.000 they might say

00:28:14.460 I'm a man,

00:28:14.920 the next day

00:28:15.280 they might say

00:28:15.700 I'm a woman,

00:28:16.400 one day they might say

00:28:17.100 I want to be called

00:28:17.660 him,

00:28:18.340 the next day

00:28:18.880 they want to be

00:28:19.180 called them,

00:28:20.120 the next day

00:28:20.560 they want to be

00:28:20.900 called zim 1.00

00:28:21.500 and it just

00:28:22.140 all changes

00:28:23.300 but the one thing

00:28:24.740 that remains consistent

00:28:25.680 is that

00:28:26.580 the determining factor

00:28:28.800 in how you behave

00:28:30.220 and how you think

00:28:31.220 and how you speak

00:28:32.160 ought to be

00:28:33.040 not objective reality

00:28:35.040 or your own sense

00:28:35.920 of reason

00:28:36.300 it ought to be

00:28:36.980 the will

00:28:37.540 and the demands

00:28:39.220 of the trans-identifying

00:28:40.500 person

00:28:41.100 and that is now

00:28:42.600 backed up

00:28:43.320 by studies

00:28:44.280 studies which we

00:28:44.940 don't really need

00:28:45.580 it's a funny marker

00:28:47.080 of our

00:28:47.780 overly scientific age

00:28:50.400 and our extremely

00:28:51.700 materialist

00:28:52.700 and philosophically 1.00

00:28:53.900 dumb age 0.99

00:28:54.860 that we need 1.00

00:28:55.600 to study for everything

00:28:56.660 we always need

00:28:57.140 to cite statistics

00:28:58.340 to prove

00:28:59.600 the sorts of things

00:29:00.420 that everyone knows

00:29:01.260 intuitively

00:29:01.780 through common sense

00:29:03.040 and experience

00:29:04.240 now speaking of

00:29:05.420 personality disorders

00:29:06.520 the Harvard Divinity School

00:29:08.900 in its office

00:29:10.300 of diversity

00:29:11.180 inclusion

00:29:11.980 and belonging

00:29:13.260 that's the new version

00:29:14.700 that's the updated version

00:29:15.660 of DEI

00:29:16.620 diversity equity

00:29:17.680 and inclusion

00:29:18.100 it's now

00:29:18.460 diversity inclusion

00:29:19.740 and belonging

00:29:20.460 is hosting

00:29:22.020 a gathering

00:29:24.140 to breathe

00:29:25.120 and heal

00:29:26.020 this

00:29:27.580 I guess

00:29:29.020 it took place

00:29:29.920 yesterday

00:29:30.400 the gathering

00:29:32.660 to breathe

00:29:33.480 and heal

00:29:34.440 to

00:29:36.580 gather

00:29:37.840 to breathe

00:29:38.300 and heal

00:29:38.580 naturally

00:29:39.060 and to grieve

00:29:39.880 and to share

00:29:40.740 the heaviness

00:29:41.420 of what we're holding

00:29:42.880 with others

00:29:43.520 it's not a space

00:29:44.260 for debate

00:29:44.900 Harvard is not

00:29:45.780 a space for debate

00:29:46.760 rather it is a container

00:29:48.940 for holding emotions

00:29:50.280 in community

00:29:51.540 knowing that the circle

00:29:53.200 holds us all

00:29:54.060 whether we agree

00:29:54.620 or disagree

00:29:55.060 we're not going to debate

00:29:55.840 we're just going to go along

00:29:56.600 with whatever the libs

00:29:57.320 at the DEI office want

00:29:58.680 and we gather

00:30:00.640 we center anything

00:30:01.840 that has happened

00:30:02.880 that we need to prioritize

00:30:03.700 and so what is this all about?

00:30:05.800 well this is

00:30:06.640 to create a space

00:30:07.300 for us to discuss

00:30:08.020 and process

00:30:08.560 the departure

00:30:09.120 of our former president

00:30:11.140 Claudine Gay

00:30:12.880 the woman 0.98

00:30:14.800 who was completely unqualified

00:30:17.000 to hold her position

00:30:18.880 as the president of Harvard

00:30:19.860 the woman who had 0.88

00:30:21.040 eleven academic publications

00:30:22.760 half or more of which

00:30:24.940 she plagiarized

00:30:25.920 the woman who 0.89

00:30:27.520 just even that

00:30:28.220 paltry number of publications

00:30:29.480 that's less

00:30:30.180 than serious people

00:30:31.880 would have in graduate school

00:30:33.020 forget about an entire

00:30:34.000 academic career

00:30:34.680 leading up to the top spot

00:30:35.640 at Harvard

00:30:36.060 a woman who committed

00:30:37.760 the

00:30:38.380 most egregious

00:30:40.100 academic crime

00:30:41.000 she lost her job

00:30:43.600 oh and also

00:30:44.360 she seemed to justify

00:30:45.820 genociding the Jews 0.98

00:30:46.920 she lost 0.98

00:30:47.960 she lost her job

00:30:48.660 and we need to grieve

00:30:49.580 and we need to heal

00:30:50.200 about that

00:30:50.580 why are we grieving?

00:30:51.680 why are we healing?

00:30:53.260 is it just because

00:30:54.060 Harvard Divinity School

00:30:55.520 is completely insane?

00:30:56.420 that's part of it

00:30:56.920 is it just because

00:30:57.940 the Harvard students

00:30:59.740 and the apparatchiks

00:31:01.000 in the administration

00:31:01.580 are super lib

00:31:03.520 and bizarre?

00:31:05.360 yeah that's part of it

00:31:06.500 at a deeper level though

00:31:08.280 this is about

00:31:09.580 rewriting the story

00:31:11.640 of Claudine Gay's firing

00:31:13.020 yeah look

00:31:13.920 Chris Ruffo

00:31:15.260 and the conservatives

00:31:16.100 they got that scalp

00:31:17.320 they got Harvard

00:31:18.760 to fire the president

00:31:20.180 but

00:31:22.000 they're going to

00:31:24.540 rehab her 0.87

00:31:25.120 they grudgingly

00:31:26.740 let this president go

00:31:27.820 and the rewriting

00:31:28.860 I could see it

00:31:29.960 from day one

00:31:30.480 is going to be

00:31:31.360 Harvard

00:31:32.600 brave Harvard president

00:31:34.060 pushed out

00:31:35.000 by racists

00:31:36.780 because they have

00:31:37.780 no more arguments

00:31:38.340 so it's always

00:31:38.720 got to be racism

00:31:39.360 you saw this

00:31:40.760 in Claudine Gay's

00:31:41.920 resignation letter

00:31:42.820 she really did not

00:31:45.400 take responsibility

00:31:46.100 for all of the

00:31:47.180 perfectly legitimate

00:31:47.920 reasons she was fired

00:31:48.900 never should have

00:31:49.380 gotten the job

00:31:49.780 in the first place

00:31:50.280 she insinuated

00:31:51.520 she stated

00:31:52.300 that it was

00:31:52.820 because of racism

00:31:53.700 that she was

00:31:54.480 pushed out of her job 0.93

00:31:55.220 that that was

00:31:56.460 scene one

00:31:57.880 in the rehab story

00:31:59.540 now we're at scene two

00:32:01.480 which is the Harvard

00:32:02.980 administration

00:32:03.620 the students

00:32:04.260 coming to get to heal

00:32:05.380 for this awful thing

00:32:06.840 that happened

00:32:07.380 to the community

00:32:07.980 which is that

00:32:08.720 that nasty 1.00

00:32:09.660 racist conservative 1.00

00:32:11.060 Christopher Ruffo 0.99

00:32:12.900 and his gang

00:32:14.600 of the Ku Klux Klan

00:32:16.260 pushed this poor

00:32:18.100 beleaguered scholar

00:32:19.000 out of her job

00:32:19.920 because of their

00:32:21.260 hatred

00:32:21.580 and I don't think

00:32:24.020 they're going to put

00:32:24.460 her back in the

00:32:24.960 position because she 0.81

00:32:25.660 was obviously so

00:32:26.500 terrible at it

00:32:27.060 and unqualified

00:32:27.580 but no one will

00:32:30.380 remember the real

00:32:30.980 reason

00:32:31.280 no one outside of

00:32:32.700 conservatives paying

00:32:33.400 attention will

00:32:34.320 ultimately remember

00:32:35.240 the real reason

00:32:35.800 she was fired

00:32:36.400 now speaking of

00:32:37.440 people getting

00:32:37.920 fired

00:32:38.280 remember

00:32:38.880 when was it

00:32:40.020 month or so ago

00:32:40.880 we had a an

00:32:44.260 unfortunate video

00:32:45.020 circulating around

00:32:45.980 Washington DC and

00:32:47.080 really the whole

00:32:47.540 internet and it was

00:32:48.760 a congressional

00:32:49.440 staffer engaging

00:32:51.160 in very very

00:32:52.320 depraved acts in

00:32:54.340 a senate hearing

00:32:56.720 room and so the

00:32:59.000 capital police

00:32:59.720 investigated and

00:33:02.680 they declined to

00:33:03.400 press charges

00:33:03.980 they declined to

00:33:05.820 press charges

00:33:06.380 because they said

00:33:08.400 that they're not

00:33:09.380 sure that that

00:33:11.760 the video violated

00:33:13.140 any laws it

00:33:13.840 surely broke the

00:33:14.560 laws the rules of

00:33:16.040 the senate and the

00:33:17.060 staffer ended up

00:33:17.980 leaving his job

00:33:18.880 I assumed he was

00:33:20.500 fired but now it's

00:33:21.320 actually being reported

00:33:21.980 that he resigned

00:33:22.880 from his job for

00:33:24.580 filming himself

00:33:25.980 doing depraved 0.91

00:33:26.600 sexual acts in the 0.99

00:33:28.680 sacred temple of

00:33:29.300 democracy that we

00:33:29.940 were sold was so

00:33:31.120 important that we

00:33:31.780 can't have

00:33:32.080 midwestern grannies

00:33:32.800 taking selfies in it 0.99

00:33:33.680 but homosexual 0.97

00:33:35.360 democrat staffers in 0.96

00:33:37.020 the senate can film

00:33:37.700 themselves doing a

00:33:38.520 lot worse than

00:33:39.120 holding nancy

00:33:40.120 pelosi's lectern or

00:33:41.120 whatever the

00:33:41.560 january 6thers were

00:33:42.480 doing that day

00:33:43.060 well they're not

00:33:44.460 they're not even

00:33:44.820 gonna press charges

00:33:45.420 now it's fine move

00:33:47.240 along move along

00:33:47.880 nothing to see here

00:33:48.640 the the way that

00:33:50.080 they justify this is

00:33:51.300 they say look he

00:33:52.440 broke the rules and

00:33:53.380 so he'll be fired but

00:33:54.380 what's the law that he

00:33:55.440 broke to which I say 0.93

00:33:56.800 if there is no law

00:34:00.080 against bringing some

00:34:02.280 dude into the senate

00:34:04.000 and having him do

00:34:05.960 extremely depraved

00:34:07.900 things to you on

00:34:09.260 camera and then

00:34:10.700 you know filming it

00:34:11.660 and then uploading it

00:34:13.400 and if there's no law

00:34:14.460 against that

00:34:15.020 there should be a law

00:34:17.760 against that

00:34:18.260 the congress

00:34:19.800 needs to stop

00:34:21.840 whatever it's doing

00:34:22.440 I know they're

00:34:23.840 focused on the budget

00:34:25.140 or the war in the

00:34:26.040 middle east or

00:34:26.460 whatever

00:34:26.680 that can wait

00:34:28.040 take 15 minutes

00:34:29.760 pass a law

00:34:30.980 that says that you

00:34:32.640 can't turn the senate

00:34:34.320 hearing rooms into

00:34:36.140 particularly extremely 1.00

00:34:38.800 depraved gay brothels 1.00

00:34:41.160 and porn sets 1.00

00:34:42.600 and then pass that

00:34:44.480 done we should have

00:34:46.500 but we should have

00:34:47.180 bipartisan consensus

00:34:47.960 we wouldn't the

00:34:48.520 democrats would fight

00:34:49.180 it tooth and nail

00:34:49.860 just like they're

00:34:50.540 fighting deporting

00:34:51.380 illegal aliens who

00:34:52.700 have DUIs

00:34:53.540 but I think that would

00:34:54.180 be that'd be a good

00:34:54.780 law to pass

00:34:55.220 I'm for that

00:34:56.060 government regulation

00:34:57.020 now something very

00:34:59.200 very exciting

00:34:59.860 I told you that we

00:35:02.520 were going to get

00:35:02.920 new Mayflower cigars

00:35:04.480 in

00:35:04.760 I was hoping by

00:35:06.740 mid-march or so

00:35:07.880 but I didn't know

00:35:08.400 when they'd go online

00:35:09.260 they've sold out

00:35:09.940 it was the biggest

00:35:10.880 cigar launch I think

00:35:11.640 ever in history

00:35:12.520 we had what was

00:35:13.600 estimated at an

00:35:14.420 aggressive rate by

00:35:15.280 the top guys in the

00:35:15.880 industry to be a

00:35:17.080 four month supply

00:35:18.400 of Mayflower cigars

00:35:19.880 and we sold them

00:35:21.000 in 24 hours

00:35:21.920 and then we got

00:35:22.860 another little extra

00:35:23.640 bit on a shipment

00:35:24.420 that we had been

00:35:25.020 pre-selling for

00:35:25.660 it sold out

00:35:26.260 immediately

00:35:26.600 and I think one

00:35:27.680 last time

00:35:28.080 it sold out

00:35:28.500 immediately

00:35:28.840 and we're not

00:35:29.620 allowed to pre-sell

00:35:30.220 them too far in

00:35:30.760 advance well

00:36:54.380 we've arrived

00:36:55.620 at my favorite

00:36:56.340 time of the show

00:36:57.240 I was up

00:36:59.200 very late last

00:37:00.440 night

00:37:00.680 I was in a

00:37:01.920 podcast studio

00:37:02.660 all day yesterday

00:37:04.220 I did I think

00:37:05.680 9 or 10 hours

00:37:06.820 of shows

00:37:07.920 for the

00:37:08.260 whatever podcast

00:37:09.000 available now

00:37:09.680 on my

00:37:10.300 YouTube channel

00:37:11.120 there was one

00:37:12.100 little debate

00:37:12.760 with a handful

00:37:13.880 of people

00:37:14.740 on feminism

00:37:15.480 and then there

00:37:16.160 was the big

00:37:16.660 whatever dating

00:37:17.600 show

00:37:17.920 which I was on

00:37:18.800 last year

00:37:19.220 and I've now

00:37:19.920 made my annual

00:37:20.480 appearance

00:37:20.920 you can get

00:37:21.640 that on YouTube

00:37:22.300 and then I woke

00:37:23.140 up this morning

00:37:23.800 and what got me

00:37:25.280 out of bed

00:37:25.700 after very little

00:37:26.360 sleep

00:37:38.300 big fan of the

00:37:39.140 show

00:37:39.480 quick question

00:37:40.480 for you

00:37:40.820 what is the

00:37:41.420 most recent

00:37:42.400 issue

00:37:42.880 you've changed

00:37:43.700 your stance

00:37:44.220 on

00:37:44.520 and what

00:37:45.700 made you

00:37:46.220 change your

00:37:46.660 mind

00:37:46.900 great question

00:37:51.700 I would say

00:37:53.040 the biggest

00:37:53.940 thing I've

00:37:54.260 changed my

00:37:54.660 mind on

00:37:55.000 recently

00:37:55.380 is Xi Jinping

00:37:57.360 of all things

00:37:58.840 I'm not saying

00:38:00.060 I'm pro-Xi Jinping

00:38:00.820 or anything

00:38:01.280 now

00:38:01.500 but I

00:38:02.100 I used to

00:38:02.900 believe

00:38:03.400 that the

00:38:04.200 Chinese

00:38:04.560 Communist Party

00:38:05.580 was just

00:38:06.260 you know

00:38:06.580 just

00:38:06.800 communist

00:38:07.320 there's

00:38:08.020 commies

00:38:08.480 nothing really

00:38:09.000 different

00:38:09.260 between

00:38:09.540 Xi Jinping

00:38:10.060 and some

00:38:11.140 of his

00:38:11.380 predecessors

00:38:11.880 in that

00:38:12.260 role

00:38:12.460 and I

00:38:13.200 don't think

00:38:13.560 that's

00:38:13.940 true

00:38:14.380 actually

00:38:14.900 I think

00:38:15.960 that Xi

00:38:16.540 Jinping 0.99

00:38:16.800 is not

00:38:17.880 even close

00:38:19.320 to a

00:38:19.840 doctrinaire

00:38:20.360 communist

00:38:20.780 and that

00:38:22.180 makes him

00:38:22.880 a much

00:38:23.380 more

00:38:23.760 worthy

00:38:25.040 and formidable

00:38:25.900 adversary

00:38:26.640 and the

00:38:27.880 thing that

00:38:28.100 changed my

00:38:28.500 mind on

00:38:28.980 it

00:38:29.140 was reading

00:38:30.040 some of

00:38:30.380 his speeches

00:38:30.840 because

00:38:32.100 Chairman Xi

00:38:33.060 speaks in

00:38:35.340 some ways

00:38:36.020 like a

00:38:36.420 conservative

00:38:36.880 certainly on

00:38:38.420 some cultural

00:38:39.100 issues

00:38:39.520 I don't think

00:38:39.980 there's any

00:38:40.300 risk of

00:38:40.680 wokeness

00:38:41.080 coming to

00:38:41.540 China

00:38:41.880 but even

00:38:42.800 on the

00:38:43.120 economy

00:38:43.500 he says

00:38:43.900 yeah we

00:38:44.180 need

00:38:44.380 liberalized

00:38:45.060 markets

00:38:45.400 in certain

00:38:45.820 places

00:38:46.180 but we

00:38:46.480 don't

00:38:46.700 want

00:38:47.480 the

00:38:47.640 liberalization

00:38:48.200 of the

00:38:48.500 markets

00:38:48.820 to run

00:38:49.720 away

00:38:50.100 such that

00:38:50.800 the tail

00:38:51.560 wags the

00:38:51.960 dog

00:38:52.160 or anything

00:38:52.480 like that

00:38:52.940 but yes

00:38:53.520 we do

00:38:53.860 need

00:38:54.140 some free

00:38:55.140 markets

00:38:55.420 they can

00:38:55.680 be a

00:38:56.080 wonderful

00:38:56.360 thing

00:38:56.780 and

00:38:57.560 even

00:38:58.500 the way

00:38:58.720 he describes

00:38:59.180 the ideology

00:38:59.680 I think

00:38:59.940 he says

00:39:00.220 it's

00:39:00.720 socialism

00:39:01.260 with

00:39:01.680 Chinese

00:39:02.140 characteristics

00:39:02.900 or something

00:39:03.380 like that

00:39:03.940 so it's

00:39:04.900 just not

00:39:05.440 quite as

00:39:06.160 simple

00:39:06.460 and ideological

00:39:07.380 as

00:39:08.460 you would

00:39:09.320 expect

00:39:09.620 from

00:39:10.140 reading

00:39:11.180 an elementary

00:39:12.240 textbook

00:39:12.760 about the

00:39:13.660 Chinese

00:39:14.000 Communist

00:39:14.400 Party

00:39:14.760 and we

00:39:15.340 should

00:39:15.540 get wise

00:39:16.760 to that

00:39:17.040 because

00:39:17.360 China

00:39:17.980 is challenging

00:39:18.660 the United

00:39:19.080 States

00:39:19.460 which is

00:39:19.860 the global

00:39:20.360 hegemon

00:39:20.700 for

00:39:21.200 bipolarity

00:39:22.140 and if

00:39:23.120 all we

00:39:23.720 continue to

00:39:24.280 do

00:39:24.420 especially

00:39:24.700 on the

00:39:24.940 right

00:39:25.100 is fight

00:39:25.660 against

00:39:25.880 a caricature

00:39:26.580 of the 1.00

00:39:27.180 damn 1.00

00:39:27.440 reds 1.00

00:39:27.760 over there

00:39:28.100 in China

00:39:28.540 we're not

00:39:29.800 going to be

00:39:30.200 able to

00:39:30.480 seriously

00:39:30.840 confront

00:39:31.380 the real

00:39:33.340 adversary

00:39:33.800 next question

00:39:35.360 hi

00:39:36.480 Michael

00:39:36.820 my name

00:39:37.460 is Connor

00:39:37.840 Caldwell

00:39:38.240 and me

00:39:38.760 and my

00:39:39.140 wife

00:39:39.560 are

00:39:39.900 very

00:39:40.740 avid

00:39:41.400 pasta

00:39:41.960 enjoyers

00:39:42.560 we use

00:39:43.520 pasta

00:39:43.980 in general

00:39:44.760 as a

00:39:45.500 relatively

00:39:46.080 simple

00:39:46.800 and easy

00:39:47.140 recipe

00:39:47.520 for the

00:39:48.000 week

00:39:48.280 so we

00:39:48.540 are not

00:39:48.780 stressing

00:39:49.080 out so

00:39:49.500 much

00:39:49.820 about

00:39:50.500 dinner

00:39:51.100 and I'm

00:39:52.220 curious

00:39:52.820 you being

00:39:54.140 Italian

00:39:54.640 what is

00:39:55.620 your favorite

00:39:56.380 pasta

00:39:57.140 for one

00:39:57.720 and then

00:39:58.660 what is your

00:39:59.080 favorite pasta

00:39:59.760 recipe

00:40:00.200 because those

00:40:01.120 can obviously

00:40:01.640 be very

00:40:02.100 different

00:40:02.480 but I'm

00:40:03.640 curious as to

00:40:04.300 what your

00:40:04.520 favorite pasta

00:40:05.060 slash pasta

00:40:05.780 recipe is

00:40:06.520 and you

00:40:07.940 know how

00:40:08.260 you prepare

00:40:08.720 it

00:40:08.900 what do you

00:40:09.380 pair it

00:40:09.720 with

00:40:10.000 whether that's

00:40:10.500 wine

00:40:11.020 or some

00:40:11.500 other fun

00:40:12.040 liquid

00:40:12.360 you like

00:40:12.700 to enjoy

00:40:13.200 but yeah

00:40:15.340 anyway

00:40:16.200 I appreciate

00:40:16.880 your answer

00:40:17.500 and looking

00:40:19.120 forward to

00:40:19.600 hearing back

00:40:19.960 from you

00:40:20.300 thank you

00:40:20.980 my favorite

00:40:23.540 pasta

00:40:24.000 my favorite

00:40:24.560 dish

00:40:24.960 my

00:40:25.320 what I would

00:40:26.700 ask for

00:40:27.200 if I were

00:40:27.580 on death

00:40:27.960 row

00:40:28.140 and I had

00:40:28.480 my final

00:40:28.900 meal

00:40:29.160 would be

00:40:29.940 sweet little

00:40:30.500 Alisa's

00:40:31.140 lasagna

00:40:31.680 which gets

00:40:33.080 us to a

00:40:33.460 distinction

00:40:33.900 in pasta

00:40:34.460 between

00:40:34.840 fresh pasta

00:40:35.740 and dry

00:40:36.220 pasta

00:40:36.600 fresh pasta

00:40:37.660 you roll

00:40:38.160 out

00:40:38.420 and there's

00:40:38.640 a lot

00:40:38.820 of egg

00:40:39.100 in it

00:40:39.340 dry pasta

00:40:40.240 is what

00:40:40.520 you buy

00:40:40.800 in the

00:40:41.040 cardboard

00:40:41.320 box

00:40:41.780 so you

00:40:42.300 roll out

00:40:42.620 the fresh

00:40:42.980 pasta

00:40:43.300 for the

00:40:43.640 lasagna

00:40:44.020 and then

00:40:44.860 you boil

00:40:45.940 it for

00:40:46.420 a minute

00:40:46.880 or two

00:40:47.260 and you lay

00:40:48.400 it down

00:40:48.700 in the pot

00:40:49.280 and then

00:40:49.980 you get

00:40:50.360 the nice

00:40:50.820 delicious

00:40:51.500 bolognese

00:40:53.360 sauce

00:40:53.940 which

00:40:54.860 Alisa's

00:40:55.700 version

00:40:55.920 is very

00:40:56.280 very good

00:40:56.660 and it

00:40:56.880 has beef

00:40:57.480 and pork

00:40:58.100 in it

00:40:58.420 and then

00:40:59.100 you get

00:40:59.980 a little

00:41:00.220 bechamel

00:41:00.600 and then

00:41:01.040 you put

00:41:01.340 a little

00:41:01.560 bit

00:41:01.860 of the

00:41:02.500 cheese

00:41:03.540 the parmesan

00:41:04.000 cheese

00:41:04.360 and then

00:41:05.300 you layer

00:41:06.160 it again

00:41:06.520 and you rinse

00:41:06.980 and repeat

00:41:07.340 until you get

00:41:07.700 a nice

00:41:08.220 juicy 0.56

00:41:08.700 delicious

00:41:09.200 lasagna

00:41:09.920 now that's

00:41:10.340 a little

00:41:10.540 bit

00:41:10.700 labor

00:41:10.940 intensive

00:41:11.340 if

00:41:12.400 I want

00:41:13.720 fresh pasta

00:41:14.300 but I don't

00:41:14.620 want to

00:41:14.820 roll it

00:41:15.100 out

00:41:15.260 I've been

00:41:15.660 reliably

00:41:16.020 informed

00:41:16.420 by sweet

00:41:16.900 little

00:41:17.100 Alisa

00:41:17.380 just

00:41:17.680 some

00:41:18.320 days ago

00:41:18.740 that the

00:41:19.400 fresh pasta

00:41:19.880 from Costco

00:41:20.380 kind of

00:41:20.820 slaps

00:41:21.200 in her

00:41:21.640 words

00:41:21.900 and if

00:41:23.160 I don't

00:41:23.420 even want

00:41:23.740 to deal

00:41:23.960 with that

00:41:24.360 then I'd

00:41:24.980 probably make

00:41:25.640 the quickest

00:41:26.020 kind of pasta

00:41:26.680 that I would

00:41:27.340 go for

00:41:27.760 on any

00:41:28.240 given day

00:41:28.640 would be

00:41:29.260 spaghetti

00:41:29.820 alla

00:41:30.320 carbonara

00:41:31.220 which is

00:41:32.420 very simple

00:41:33.180 it's like

00:41:33.500 an Italian

00:41:33.900 bacon

00:41:34.200 egg and

00:41:34.500 cheese

00:41:34.720 where you

00:41:35.660 fry up

00:41:36.880 a little

00:41:37.100 pancetta

00:41:37.660 in a pan

00:41:38.440 you know

00:41:38.840 aglio

00:41:39.080 olio

00:41:39.360 a little

00:41:39.620 pancetta

00:41:40.220 and then

00:41:41.040 you make

00:41:41.620 your pasta

00:41:42.060 and then

00:41:43.400 you make

00:41:44.100 a sauce

00:41:44.560 that's out

00:41:45.080 of eggs

00:41:45.760 with some

00:41:46.640 extra yolk

00:41:47.240 in there

00:41:47.700 and a lot

00:41:48.460 of parmesan

00:41:48.880 cheese

00:41:49.400 and a lot

00:41:50.200 of pepper

00:41:50.560 people underdo

00:41:51.220 the pepper

00:41:51.540 you gotta

00:41:51.840 put a lot

00:41:52.200 of pepper

00:41:52.480 in there

00:41:52.860 and then

00:41:53.400 you kind

00:41:53.780 of mix

00:41:54.240 in the egg

00:41:55.100 you're not

00:41:55.460 frying the egg

00:41:55.960 you just mix

00:41:56.360 it in with

00:41:56.640 the pasta

00:41:57.020 over very

00:41:57.500 very low

00:41:57.900 heat

00:41:58.160 and you

00:41:58.760 kind of

00:41:59.000 spin it

00:41:59.300 all around

00:41:59.800 and then

00:42:00.460 you make

00:42:00.780 a delicious

00:42:01.640 pasta dish

00:42:02.520 that was

00:42:02.760 probably

00:42:03.220 a more

00:42:03.840 thorough

00:42:04.420 answer

00:42:04.820 than anyone

00:42:05.480 was anticipating

00:42:06.180 next one

00:42:07.200 hello

00:42:08.500 hello mr

00:42:08.800 knolls

00:42:09.260 my name

00:42:09.780 is noah

00:42:10.200 and i

00:42:10.420 am a phd

00:42:11.040 student

00:42:11.340 at the

00:42:11.600 university

00:42:11.940 of connecticut

00:42:12.480 studying neuroscience

00:42:13.280 i'm a catholic

00:42:14.760 and have always

00:42:15.260 believed that god

00:42:16.060 chose to limit

00:42:16.680 his power

00:42:17.100 by giving us

00:42:17.660 free will

00:42:18.040 however i haven't

00:42:19.160 been great

00:42:19.580 at articulating

00:42:20.140 this truth

00:42:20.660 how am i

00:42:21.480 articulate

00:42:21.880 this to people

00:42:22.880 who do not

00:42:23.360 believe

00:42:23.740 that we

00:42:24.220 have free

00:42:24.520 will

00:42:24.720 i ask

00:42:25.560 because

00:42:25.840 whenever

00:42:26.120 someone

00:42:26.380 wants me

00:42:26.720 to explain

00:42:27.200 i get

00:42:27.700 speechless

00:42:28.600 anyway i look

00:42:30.140 forward to

00:42:30.540 hearing your

00:42:30.940 thoughts

00:42:31.260 thank you

00:42:32.000 my favorite

00:42:35.360 way of

00:42:36.180 convincing

00:42:36.720 people

00:42:37.220 that free

00:42:37.860 will

00:42:38.080 exists

00:42:38.640 is by

00:42:39.400 just

00:42:39.600 punching 1.00

00:42:39.920 them 0.99

00:42:40.100 in the 0.90

00:42:40.280 face

00:42:40.580 i just

00:42:41.100 you know

00:42:41.400 they say

00:42:41.660 like oh

00:42:41.920 free will

00:42:42.260 doesn't exist

00:42:42.600 i just

00:42:42.840 start

00:42:42.960 punching 1.00

00:42:43.300 them 0.99

00:42:43.440 in the 0.90

00:42:43.580 face

00:42:43.800 you know

00:42:44.040 and then

00:42:44.480 they'll

00:42:44.680 say hey

00:42:45.700 stop

00:42:46.060 punching 0.99

00:42:46.300 me 0.98

00:42:46.420 in the

00:42:46.540 face

00:42:46.660 i say

00:42:46.900 i can't

00:42:47.720 i can't

00:42:48.160 i'm not

00:42:48.620 even

00:42:48.800 punching 0.99

00:42:49.100 you 0.99

00:42:49.380 i have

00:42:50.180 no will

00:42:50.680 this was

00:42:51.740 just all

00:42:52.140 predetermined

00:42:52.860 sorry

00:42:53.260 haha

00:42:53.780 you know

00:42:54.240 they give

00:42:54.460 them a

00:42:54.640 swirly

00:42:54.960 or something

00:42:55.320 no i

00:42:55.800 don't

00:42:56.080 recommend

00:42:56.420 that

00:42:56.760 i don't

00:42:57.840 recommend

00:42:58.260 any

00:43:02.000 describing

00:43:02.680 to them

00:43:03.100 that

00:43:03.340 possible

00:43:03.920 scenario

00:43:04.500 because

00:43:05.260 if there's

00:43:05.680 no free

00:43:06.060 will

00:43:06.260 then there's

00:43:06.620 no moral

00:43:07.120 culpability

00:43:07.740 at all

00:43:08.360 and usually

00:43:08.820 when people

00:43:09.260 deny free

00:43:09.800 will

00:43:10.000 they're doing

00:43:10.720 so because

00:43:11.140 they recognize

00:43:11.840 rightly that

00:43:12.520 god is

00:43:12.860 sovereign over

00:43:13.580 the universe

00:43:14.140 and they're

00:43:14.740 trying to make

00:43:15.220 sense of how

00:43:15.860 that can be

00:43:16.280 the case

00:43:16.780 that god

00:43:17.520 is totally

00:43:18.220 sovereign

00:43:18.720 but also

00:43:19.460 man has

00:43:20.080 free will

00:43:20.680 and how

00:43:21.760 do will

00:43:22.680 and grace

00:43:23.260 interact

00:43:23.660 and one

00:43:25.160 way to think

00:43:25.620 about it

00:43:26.100 simply

00:43:26.780 is that god

00:43:27.680 is outside

00:43:28.280 of time

00:43:28.760 and space

00:43:29.320 so you

00:43:30.760 know

00:43:30.880 we view

00:43:31.800 events

00:43:32.580 happening

00:43:33.000 within

00:43:33.400 time

00:43:33.960 but for

00:43:34.740 god

00:43:35.140 it's all

00:43:36.220 the same

00:43:36.640 he's seeing

00:43:37.160 it all

00:43:37.560 at all

00:43:38.780 the time

00:43:39.300 so the

00:43:41.020 two don't

00:43:41.540 really

00:43:41.860 contradict

00:43:42.360 each other

00:43:42.940 and while

00:43:45.260 god's grace

00:43:46.400 is

00:43:47.120 comes from

00:43:48.900 him obviously

00:43:49.680 we must

00:43:51.420 have the

00:43:51.900 ability to

00:43:52.500 turn away

00:43:52.900 from god's

00:43:53.400 grace

00:43:53.700 and to

00:43:54.480 cooperate

00:43:54.840 with god's

00:43:55.380 grace

00:43:55.560 and so

00:43:55.780 it's not

00:43:56.040 to say

00:43:56.460 that man

00:43:57.840 is so

00:43:58.240 totally

00:43:58.580 free

00:43:58.940 that we

00:43:59.260 can do

00:43:59.500 whatever

00:43:59.720 we want

00:44:00.160 including

00:44:00.500 to save

00:44:00.900 ourselves

00:44:01.240 that's

00:44:01.580 not it

00:44:01.960 at all

00:44:02.640 but we

00:44:02.940 do have

00:44:03.300 at least

00:44:03.560 the modicum

00:44:04.100 of freedom

00:44:04.500 to cooperate

00:44:05.440 or reject

00:44:06.800 god's

00:44:07.200 grace

00:44:07.560 without

00:44:10.280 which

00:44:11.160 there would

00:44:12.120 be no

00:44:12.500 moral culpability

00:44:13.660 whatsoever

00:44:14.040 and you can

00:44:14.440 keep punching 0.97

00:44:14.820 your friend 0.97

00:44:15.220 next one

00:44:15.880 hello

00:44:17.060 hello

00:44:17.100 hello there

00:44:17.280 puff daddy

00:44:17.780 john

00:44:18.320 here

00:44:18.500 from

00:44:18.680 alaska

00:44:19.140 with a

00:44:19.500 philosophy

00:44:19.860 question

00:44:20.380 brought to

00:44:20.860 you in

00:44:20.980 mind

00:44:21.120 by your

00:44:21.520 coverage

00:44:21.940 of the

00:44:22.480 show

00:44:22.840 about hell

00:44:23.460 on amazon

00:44:24.020 last week

00:44:24.800 so we know

00:44:26.300 angels are

00:44:26.980 great and

00:44:27.500 powerful

00:44:28.020 and the

00:44:29.220 spiritual world

00:44:29.820 is good

00:44:30.320 but we also

00:44:31.200 know that the

00:44:31.780 material world

00:44:32.440 is good

00:44:32.820 because everything

00:44:33.840 that god has

00:44:34.580 created is

00:44:35.320 good

00:44:35.660 so how do

00:44:37.460 you affirm

00:44:38.980 that angels

00:44:40.200 are greater

00:44:40.780 than men

00:44:41.380 without positing

00:44:43.100 that the

00:44:43.980 material world

00:44:44.720 is evil

00:44:45.340 and in other

00:44:47.400 news

00:44:47.800 in light of

00:44:48.780 recent polling

00:44:49.460 data

00:44:49.840 and bearing

00:44:50.380 in mind

00:44:50.720 that he needs

00:44:51.180 to shore up

00:44:51.920 the suburban

00:44:52.500 white women 1.00

00:44:53.000 vote

00:44:53.340 do you think

00:44:54.580 donald trump

00:44:55.160 might tap

00:44:56.200 taylor swift

00:44:56.840 to be his

00:44:57.340 vp

00:44:57.740 what do you

00:44:58.940 think

00:44:59.180 thank you

00:45:00.100 bye

00:45:00.240 sign me up

00:45:03.980 trump swift

00:45:04.900 2024

00:45:05.680 would be

00:45:05.980 unstoppable

00:45:06.520 i'm skeptical

00:45:07.520 it would happen

00:45:08.060 but it would

00:45:08.400 be unstoppable

00:45:09.180 as for

00:45:10.640 the first

00:45:12.040 question

00:45:12.480 as to the

00:45:15.580 first part

00:45:15.940 of your

00:45:16.120 question

00:45:16.500 you're right

00:45:19.540 that these

00:45:20.380 god makes

00:45:22.140 the spiritual

00:45:22.540 world good

00:45:23.100 and god makes

00:45:24.000 the physical

00:45:24.460 world good

00:45:25.020 as well

00:45:25.440 some of the

00:45:26.200 gnostic heresies

00:45:27.120 have denied

00:45:27.700 the goodness

00:45:28.180 of the

00:45:28.980 physical world

00:45:29.780 perhaps most

00:45:31.100 famously the

00:45:31.740 cathar heresy

00:45:32.680 the albigensian

00:45:33.620 heresy

00:45:34.140 was one that

00:45:35.440 cropped up

00:45:36.060 that the church

00:45:36.960 had to put down

00:45:37.700 because it would

00:45:38.040 have destroyed

00:45:38.460 all of civilization

00:45:39.080 and it said

00:45:40.140 that the material

00:45:40.800 world is very

00:45:41.340 very bad

00:45:41.880 and so

00:45:42.460 it encouraged

00:45:43.740 well basically

00:45:44.660 the end of our

00:45:45.240 material existence

00:45:46.080 but no the

00:45:46.560 material world

00:45:47.200 is good too

00:45:48.400 you know

00:45:48.680 sin and death

00:45:49.820 pervade the world

00:45:50.500 as a consequence

00:45:51.160 of the fall of man

00:45:52.060 and so that leads

00:45:52.660 to corruption

00:45:53.180 all over the place

00:45:54.000 but it doesn't

00:45:55.420 mean that

00:45:55.920 you know

00:45:56.480 we just give up

00:45:57.360 on it entirely

00:45:58.200 i think the

00:46:00.480 mistake you make

00:46:01.060 there is you say

00:46:01.580 we know that the

00:46:03.440 angels are greater

00:46:04.600 than humans

00:46:05.580 but they're not

00:46:07.180 actually

00:46:07.600 they are

00:46:08.960 in

00:46:09.460 i guess

00:46:10.920 in the

00:46:11.300 the order of

00:46:11.900 creation

00:46:12.360 but

00:46:13.340 what's so

00:46:15.280 amazing

00:46:15.600 is that

00:46:16.300 our lord himself

00:46:17.840 takes on flesh

00:46:19.660 and becomes

00:46:20.700 man

00:46:21.340 so he

00:46:22.580 in his

00:46:23.060 incarnation

00:46:23.640 elevates

00:46:24.620 mankind

00:46:25.600 which is

00:46:26.880 made lower

00:46:27.780 is made

00:46:28.380 corporeal

00:46:29.240 but elevates

00:46:29.960 the flesh

00:46:30.480 up

00:46:30.940 to become

00:46:32.820 as sons of

00:46:33.340 god

00:46:33.580 and this

00:46:35.400 would arouse

00:46:36.320 the enmity

00:46:36.820 of a certain

00:46:37.900 once beautiful

00:46:39.100 angel

00:46:39.480 now rotting

00:46:40.860 in a pit

00:46:41.380 of fire

00:46:41.760 forever

00:46:42.140 and

00:46:43.060 and it's

00:46:44.620 it ennobles

00:46:45.500 mankind

00:46:46.320 you know

00:46:47.240 so

00:46:48.440 yes it's true

00:46:51.580 the angels

00:46:52.020 are pure spirit

00:46:53.020 and we are not

00:46:54.180 pure spirit

00:46:54.760 we're spirit

00:46:55.420 and flesh

00:46:55.980 together

00:46:56.420 but

00:46:58.000 we have

00:47:00.320 we have been

00:47:01.040 raised up

00:47:02.420 with our lord

00:47:03.060 who lowers himself

00:47:04.460 to take on flesh

00:47:05.180 and dwell among us

00:47:06.000 okay

00:47:06.680 let's get to some

00:47:08.460 written mail back

00:47:08.940 before we go

00:47:09.380 from Colby

00:47:09.900 dear Mr. Knowles

00:47:10.680 do you believe

00:47:11.360 therapy is worthless

00:47:12.400 and doesn't benefit

00:47:13.840 society outside of

00:47:14.640 enabling people

00:47:15.240 I'm in therapy

00:47:15.880 right now

00:47:16.300 and trying to use it

00:47:16.960 to get over some

00:47:17.500 issues I've been

00:47:18.020 tamping down

00:47:18.580 I don't like therapy

00:47:19.400 but I need to talk

00:47:20.460 to someone

00:47:20.820 because suffering

00:47:21.400 in silence

00:47:21.860 isn't helping me out

00:47:23.060 if anything

00:47:23.980 I'm seeing it as

00:47:24.680 limiting my growth

00:47:25.580 as a person

00:47:26.180 and I'm not achieving

00:47:27.260 my full potential

00:47:27.980 with whatever time

00:47:28.760 I've left on earth

00:47:29.420 so is suffering

00:47:30.280 in silence

00:47:30.880 your only view

00:47:32.040 when it comes

00:47:32.460 to therapy

00:47:33.020 psychology

00:47:33.500 or anything else

00:47:34.300 of that nature

00:47:35.040 I'd love to hear

00:47:36.500 your stance on this

00:47:37.480 and hope it'll help me

00:47:39.000 with how I should deal

00:47:39.860 with therapy

00:47:40.480 and my own mental health

00:47:41.460 going forward

00:47:41.900 oh no

00:47:42.400 I hope I haven't

00:47:42.960 given that impression

00:47:43.800 I think when I say

00:47:45.140 suffer in silence

00:47:46.000 well the other day

00:47:47.660 I was using it

00:47:48.360 in reference to Elmo

00:47:49.360 because Elmo

00:47:51.440 tweeted out

00:47:52.000 said

00:47:52.260 how is everybody doing

00:47:53.840 I gotta figure out

00:47:54.800 my Elmo impression

00:47:55.740 and everyone just started

00:47:56.860 whining and complaining

00:47:57.620 and I said

00:47:57.960 hey

00:47:58.160 stop whining and complaining

00:47:59.260 you know

00:47:59.540 like keep it to yourself

00:48:00.380 and keep a stiff upper lip

00:48:01.440 and I do think

00:48:03.440 that therapy

00:48:04.280 is over prescribed

00:48:06.220 even talk therapy

00:48:07.420 but especially

00:48:08.020 psychiatric counseling

00:48:10.420 where basically

00:48:11.480 the shrinks are just 1.00

00:48:12.340 drug dealers

00:48:12.840 and people go to their shrink

00:48:14.640 for 30 years

00:48:15.520 and they never get any better

00:48:16.560 they usually get worse

00:48:17.460 and then maybe they just

00:48:18.600 get some drugs

00:48:19.140 on top of that

00:48:19.760 that's really bad

00:48:21.260 and I oppose it

00:48:22.420 furthermore

00:48:23.320 I oppose

00:48:23.960 pathologizing

00:48:25.360 ordinary aspects

00:48:26.240 of the human condition

00:48:27.360 which we tend to do

00:48:30.040 these days

00:48:30.400 but

00:48:30.760 that doesn't mean

00:48:31.840 that all therapy

00:48:32.300 is bad

00:48:32.600 I think that some therapy

00:48:33.700 can be very very good

00:48:34.760 I know some conservatives

00:48:35.420 write it off

00:48:35.960 but I don't just

00:48:36.800 totally write it off

00:48:37.480 in fact

00:48:37.720 Drew Klavan

00:48:38.180 once said

00:48:39.440 that he was cured

00:48:40.240 by therapy

00:48:41.400 and he said

00:48:41.920 he might be the only person

00:48:42.740 ever in history

00:48:43.460 that's been cured

00:48:44.260 by therapy

00:48:44.720 but it can happen

00:48:45.700 so I

00:48:46.500 don't discourage you

00:48:48.380 at all

00:48:48.680 from going to

00:48:49.500 a therapist

00:48:50.380 I would just make sure

00:48:51.600 one

00:48:52.040 that your therapist

00:48:53.540 is on the same page

00:48:54.960 with you

00:48:55.340 about fundamental things

00:48:57.280 you know

00:48:57.540 if your therapist

00:48:58.120 is a big lib atheist 0.75

00:48:59.560 and disagrees on

00:49:00.940 basic questions

00:49:02.960 about what man is

00:49:03.980 what man's role is

00:49:05.440 in the world

00:49:06.080 what happiness

00:49:07.260 and flourishing are

00:49:07.980 then the therapy

00:49:09.080 is probably not going

00:49:09.980 to be very helpful

00:49:11.700 but if the shrink

00:49:13.820 is on the right page

00:49:14.780 and

00:49:15.200 and

00:49:16.100 there is

00:49:17.260 a path

00:49:17.960 to getting better

00:49:18.880 and to not needing

00:49:19.760 the shrink anymore

00:49:20.440 then I think

00:49:21.180 that can be

00:49:21.760 very helpful

00:49:22.380 okay

00:49:23.580 that's our show

00:49:24.460 now

00:49:24.760 there will be

00:49:25.940 a member block

00:49:26.380 even though I will be

00:49:27.040 flying back
