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
00:01:11.880 be alive.
00:01:12.460 But they don't enforce those laws.
00:01:15.100 They don't even hold the illegal aliens responsible for the other major crimes they commit while
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
00:01:39.660 foreign criminals.
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?
00:03:06.740 Y'all, this town's a ****, yo.
00:03:09.700 It's all about **** money.
00:03:11.240 It's a **** money crap.
00:03:12.520 Don't give a **** about the **** that was born and **** raised here.
00:03:17.260 Y'all raised to **** rich so **** high.
00:03:23.480 Can't afford to live here.
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?
00:03:46.840 Don't make no **** sense.
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.
00:04:20.160 It'd be one thing.
00:04:21.060 If services and institutions were only being diverted
00:04:24.940 from the awful, terrible, rich white people or something,
00:04:29.060 then probably everyone would just move along.
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.
00:04:37.320 It's all being diverted to illegal aliens when it is convenient.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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...
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,
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.
00:13:31.520 The majority of Americans are racist,
00:13:38.140 even though there's no...
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.
00:13:51.840 It's got to be racism against black people
00:13:53.440 and to a much lesser degree,
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.
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.
00:14:29.560 America is deeply, profoundly racist.
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,
00:15:05.300 oh boy, then you're a racist too.
00:15:07.020 How dare you question my lived experience
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
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,
00:15:41.560 well, you're a racist, aren't you?
00:15:45.360 That's the evidence.
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.
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,
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.
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.
00:17:41.940 She's not popular,
00:17:42.840 but you can't remove the first black lady
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,
00:17:55.240 what the f***?
00:17:56.140 Like, she's a woman
00:17:57.580 and she's multiracial.
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,
00:18:45.580 we think Biden's a big dummy
00:18:46.940 and he's totally demented.
00:18:48.140 And Kamala, we hate her
00:18:50.000 and we'd throw her overboard,
00:18:51.320 except she's the first
00:18:52.720 black female vice president.
00:18:54.920 And so we can't throw her overboard.
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
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.
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
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,
00:20:33.720 that the White House
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
00:21:54.980 and because Michelle is a black lady,
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.
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
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

00:24:26.220 says they are fabulous.

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,
00:24:59.160 hey, screw you,
00:25:00.580 I'm not apologizing to you,
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
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
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
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,
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
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,
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
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
00:27:33.740 gay porn in kindergarten
00:27:34.800 is what it's about.
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
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
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
00:28:53.900 dumb age
00:28:54.860 that we need
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
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
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
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
00:30:46.920 she lost
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
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
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
00:32:09.660 racist conservative
00:32:11.060 Christopher Ruffo
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
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
00:33:26.600 sexual acts in the
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
00:33:33.680 but homosexual
00:33:35.360 democrat staffers in
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
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
00:34:38.800 depraved gay brothels
00:34:41.160 and porn sets
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
00:37:26.660 I'll tell you

00:37:36.240 hey Michael
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
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
00:39:27.180 damn
00:39:27.440 reds
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

00:40:07.940 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
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
00:42:39.920 them
00:42:40.100 in the
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
00:42:43.300 them
00:42:43.440 in the
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
00:42:46.300 me
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
00:42:49.100 you
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
00:44:14.820 your friend
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
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
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
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
