During contentious testimony before the House Oversight Committee,
00:00:03.660
Hunter Biden's former business partner, Tony Bobulinski,
00:00:14.320
And Ms. Ocasio-Cortez did not like his response.
00:00:43.300
It's a category of crimes that you're then charged over.
00:00:50.600
You want me to name the exact statute under RICO?
00:01:00.020
Just for a little fact check, RICO is very much a crime.
00:01:04.780
It's a group of crimes, and they are the crimes that took down the mob.
00:01:09.160
Ironically, RICO is the crime that the Democrats are alleging Trump committed.
00:01:14.020
The whole Georgia prosecution of Donald Trump is predicated upon the belief that RICO is a crime.
00:01:21.640
Corruption, conspiracy, failure to register as a foreign agent, those are also all crimes for the record.
00:01:29.400
The whole exchange reminded me of another classic legal exchange.
00:01:34.220
I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings.
00:01:40.640
I know that situations like this, real estate-wise, they're very complex.
00:01:50.960
We're going to get to our hot plate soon enough.
00:02:03.040
And I'll take that advice into cooperation, all right?
00:02:05.920
Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victim.
00:02:09.340
You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that.
00:02:12.960
The always sunny clip is funny, you see, because Charlie is a janitor who doesn't actually know
00:02:20.740
The congressional clip is less funny because AOC is a legislator who somehow appears to know
00:02:51.620
Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney is suing a guy for making fake porn of her.
00:02:58.420
We will get to that and what it means for the political order in just a moment.
00:03:02.380
First, though, you got to get your Smells and Bells candle over here at The Daily Wire.
00:03:09.080
The Daily Wire obviously is going to stop selling these after Easter.
00:03:11.480
This is a Lenten-themed candle that will make your home smell like a 12th century monastery.
00:03:17.420
I think it's our best-selling candle ever by a long shot.
00:03:19.840
Even better selling than the very famous—whoo, look at that, just explodes—even more famous
00:03:29.240
than the pumpkin spice candle, which you can get today.
00:03:32.300
We've got a nice wood wick, some nice little beautiful smells.
00:03:37.980
Head on over to dailywire.com slash shop before they are gone.
00:03:43.180
Speaking of strange legal developments, an appeals court has just stopped a Texas immigration law
00:03:53.260
from going into effect because the Supreme Court allowed the Texas immigration law to go into effect
00:04:01.720
because a lower court had stopped the immigration law from going into effect.
00:04:08.120
We're at this very strange place where the appeals court can overrule the Supreme Court.
00:04:14.960
I know a little bit more about the law than either AOC or Charlie Kelly, but not all that much more.
00:04:25.360
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Texas immigration law,
00:04:32.280
The Supreme Court lifted a hold blocking that law,
00:04:37.200
arguing that it needed to be ruled on by the lower Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals first.
00:04:42.800
Then, almost immediately afterward, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals again blocked the measure,
00:04:48.160
which is called Senate Bill 4, from being put into effect, but without any explanation.
00:04:52.240
So they didn't exactly rule on it, or they didn't provide any rationale for it.
00:04:55.600
They just said we're going to block it, and then the court will hear further arguments on Wednesday.
00:04:59.420
Do you know what all of this is about, even if you don't know anything about the law?
00:05:03.740
The upshot of all of this is we never get to object to mass migration.
00:05:12.760
We don't, there will always be something preventing us from in any way restricting mass migration.
00:05:20.200
We can elect Democrats, we can elect Republicans, we can pass laws, we can get court rulings.
00:05:34.940
There is, as far as I can tell, pretty much one country in Europe that has stopped mass migration, that is Hungary.
00:05:41.280
And the liberal establishment in the West has done everything it can to make the leader of Hungary, who did that, Viktor Orban, a pariah,
00:05:49.300
to totally ostracize him from the leadership of the West.
00:05:56.220
He's too strong, and Hungary is just too solid a country to put up with it.
00:06:00.520
But otherwise, you don't get to object to mass migration, period.
00:06:05.440
Because the political order, the liberal order right now, depends upon mass migration.
00:06:13.820
We have dying populations and declining populations, even well below the point of replacement, other than in Hungary, which has started to turn the population around.
00:06:26.740
So if the economies aren't going to falter, you need to just import mass labor.
00:06:32.380
And the liberals like the mass migration because it gives them an electoral advantage.
00:06:42.220
It's just beneficial to so many powers that if the pesky little people want to stop it, that's just not good enough.
00:06:53.940
If you want that to change, as I certainly would like that to change, as most people throughout the West want that to change.
00:06:58.700
It's the number one campaign issue, according to many surveys, and it has been for a number of years.
00:07:03.000
If you want that to change, you've got to get a little bit more creative and start putting pressure on the different interest groups that are pushing for mass migration.
00:07:12.300
Speaking of illegal aliens, an illegal alien on the terror watch list was just arrested after shooting up a business and attacking cops.
00:07:22.520
So this is an illegal alien, not from Honduras, not from Guatemala, not from Nicaragua.
00:07:27.280
From the Middle East was arrested last week in North Carolina after opening fire at a business and then attacking cops who were trying to arrest him.
00:07:36.800
So when the cops finally arrest him, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reaches out ICE.
00:07:43.800
They tell the Gates County Sheriff's Office that actually this guy that they just arrested who shot up the business, he's on the terrorist screening data set.
00:07:52.480
That's commonly known as the terror watch list, which raises a question.
00:08:02.700
We have a terror watch list that's to watch out for these guys.
00:08:12.900
And then we say, hey, that guy, by the way, we knew he was a terrorist.
00:08:16.240
Oh, well, why didn't you do something to stop him?
00:08:22.880
The reason for that is that we have a totally open border and people come into our country all the time totally unvetted.
00:08:32.620
He wants to vastly increase the number of foreign nationals from all over the place, from Latin America, from the Middle East, from Africa, from Asia, to just come in unvetted.
00:08:41.560
So given that, what is the point of the terror watch list?
00:08:44.900
If we can't actually know anything about these people, if we can't track their movements, if we're not even allowed to arrest people when they break some of the most fundamental laws of the country,
00:08:55.320
What, so that, so that after every major crime, we can hear, oh, actually, so-and-so was known to law enforcement.
00:09:00.880
Oh, they were known, how about law enforcement does something about it?
00:09:03.640
Oh, well, the political powers won't let law enforcement do anything about it.
00:09:12.400
We can't, at a deeper level, even beyond the immigration question, we are not allowed to pass our own laws on, on, when it comes to the issues that really matter to the Democrats.
00:09:24.580
We're not allowed to pass our own laws if those laws contradict them.
00:09:31.160
Some limited cases, maybe, but no, if it, if it starts to threaten things like immigration, no, you can't.
00:09:38.700
We're going to, yeah, we're going to overrule that.
00:09:41.060
We're not allowed to have our own law enforcement officers and mechanisms.
00:09:48.940
No, you're not allowed to get those guys out of the country.
00:09:51.280
Maybe once they shoot up a neighborhood or a shop, then the law enforcement can say, oh, yeah, we could have told you so.
00:09:59.140
We are, we often hear in Washington, D.C. that the gears of government are grinding to a halt.
00:10:08.880
You know, there's too much friction, nothing gets done.
00:10:11.900
On the one hand, I'm perfectly happy if the members of Congress aren't able to pass that many laws because a lot of what they do is really dumb and contrary to the flourishing of the country.
00:10:22.840
But just the basic mechanics of having a society run, those are also grinding to a halt.
00:10:31.140
It's not just the new legal innovations of these members of Congress who are passing a bunch of dumb laws.
00:10:36.460
I'm talking like the really basic stuff, like you arrest the criminals, you have a border, that stuff.
00:10:46.620
Certainly a global hegemon, continue to operate, if that is the case.

00:11:22.880
Speaking of not knowing things, not knowing who's here, how we get here, how we run the government, speaking of not knowing things, there's a new study out which shows that something we thought we knew about science is not true.
00:11:40.280
Apparently, there's no dark matter, according to this study.
00:11:44.940
You might have learned about this in science class or read about it in pop science articles.
00:11:49.000
We got matter, you know, regular matter that we kind of hand, like my microphone or my leftist-tears tumbler.
00:11:53.540
But then we're told much of the universe is made up of something called dark matter.
00:12:00.500
But now, according to this new study that just came out of the University of Ottawa, there's no such thing as dark matter.
00:12:09.960
Shocking study upends decades of consensus about the universe's composition.
00:12:16.120
Dark matter is a term used in cosmology to describe a type of matter that does not interact with light or the electromagnetic field, hence that it is dark.
00:12:26.120
Scientists long believed that dark matter makes up something like 25% of the universe with ordinary matter constituting less than 5%.
00:12:35.260
So most of the matter is supposedly dark matter.
00:12:37.440
And then the rest is dark energy, whatever that is.
00:12:39.900
And this is supposed to explain how galaxies and stars and planets work.
00:12:44.840
But then we find out that that's probably not real.
00:12:51.440
Do I believe this study more than I believe the other studies?
00:12:55.360
I'm kind of skeptical of all scientific studies.
00:13:00.480
Maybe it's true that there's no such thing as dark matter.
00:13:08.180
I mention the story to point out that we don't really know much of anything about science.
00:13:17.060
The common view, the common sense view in liberal modernity is that we know a lot about science, but we don't know a lot about philosophy and theology.
00:13:28.200
Meaning we know a lot about physics stuff, but we don't really know anything about metaphysics.
00:13:34.160
You know, ethics and God and the soul and morality.
00:13:44.860
A lot of that's up to just kind of your subjective point of view, man.
00:13:54.080
But they say, but science is firm, it's verifiable, it's replicable.
00:14:06.020
The funny thing is, though, the irony is, it's exactly the opposite.
00:14:20.300
We know basically nothing about that and how the universe works.
00:14:24.080
And we do know a considerable amount about metaphysics, about morality, about the soul, about the relation of the creation to its creator.
00:14:41.480
Not just because a very wonderful old book, the Bible, tells us about it.
00:14:47.460
That's sometimes what the science people accuse you.
00:14:51.780
The reason that we know more about metaphysics than we know about physics is because physics requires really powerful microscopes and really powerful telescopes.
00:15:02.460
And the measurements of all sorts of things that we can really have no access to at all.
00:15:09.120
Whereas metaphysics is actually a little closer to us.
00:15:15.260
We can deduce conclusions about the metaphysical world using things like logic, using things like our reason, using things like our moral conscience.
00:15:32.120
And there's also strong evidence for revelation.
00:15:35.000
For some reason, the last couple of weeks, we've talked a lot about the natural law on this show and in American politics.
00:15:44.340
The natural law is a lot closer to us than planet Zebulon 7 that we're supposed to learn about with a big telescope.
00:15:52.580
We can know about it just using our own two eyes and the two brain cells that we hope we have in our head.
00:16:03.440
In fact, you can never really be certain of the conclusions you reach through empirical experiments because you're beginning with stuff and observations and then you're extrapolating from those observations about the physical world to come to general principles.
00:16:21.220
When we're talking about metaphysics, when we're talking about certain aspects of philosophy and theology, you actually can be certain because you're using logic.
00:16:33.800
You don't have to replicate experiments under a microscope.
00:16:44.000
And it's why, as our civilization on the one hand seems to be so much more advanced, we have these magical little black screen portals to hell in our pocket where I can call someone on the other side of the world.
00:16:59.160
We've got all – it seems like we're really progressing.
00:17:01.740
And yet then on the flip side, we no longer know what a man and what a woman is.
00:17:07.240
On the flip side of that, we can no longer make an argument as to why it's wrong to commit murder.
00:17:14.540
We no longer know what a legislature is or a judiciary system.
00:17:22.840
It's because of this lie that we've told ourselves in modernity.
00:17:28.120
Yeah, well, the science changes every single day.
00:17:29.800
The one thing I know about science for certain is that whatever we think about science today will be considered extremely stupid about 50 years from now.
00:17:41.800
And yet the enduring truths that we know about philosophy and theology, those have been pretty stable, actually.
00:17:51.640
Those haven't – anthropology, the human nature, those things haven't really changed.
00:17:59.020
Now, speaking of science experiments and human nature, there's a really gross and disturbing story out, which is perhaps worth checking out.
00:18:06.700
Nearly 171,000 American women used sperm from a sperm bank to get pregnant in 1995.
00:18:18.360
That number is higher than I would have expected.
00:18:24.600
By 2016, the number had risen to more than 440,000.
00:18:29.960
More U.S. women are waiting longer to get married.
00:18:34.420
They're not getting married, but they still want to have a child.
00:18:37.140
So then they go to the sperm store, and they buy half a child from some creepy guy who made a few hundred dollars anonymously.
00:18:46.980
And then they create a baby with the express purpose of denying that baby his father.
00:18:51.400
There's a woman who just wrote a pretty good essay about this.
00:18:54.920
It's worth reading because it gives you a really honest glimpse into a really perverse phenomenon.
00:19:04.140
This was the ad she put out because she first looked up the sperm stores, and she said, it seems too clinical.
00:19:13.820
You know, I don't want to just have one paragraph about the father of my child.
00:19:17.480
I don't want to just hear a little audio clip of him.
00:19:19.320
I want to really – I want to know him a little bit.
00:19:25.140
She Googles sperm donor that you know, finds a website, and she says,
00:19:29.740
seeking a donor in or near the Washington, D.C. metro area.
00:19:34.740
That probably weeds out a fair number of particular creeps on those websites.
00:19:38.840
We'll consider working with folks willing to travel.
00:19:41.760
I'm looking for someone who's willing to be in the kid's life from birth.
00:19:49.480
But someone who can answer questions for the kid and provide a healthy explanation about why you chose to help their mom bring them into the world.
00:19:57.940
I'd love to make a new lifelong friend who shares my values and wants to stay in touch, get updates on the kiddo, and attend the occasional birthday party.
00:20:14.120
Why is she going this kind of bizarre fakakta route when she could just, like, find a guy?
00:20:20.880
I've just found success in my career as a journalist that has never matched in my personal life.
00:20:29.640
This is all really, really sad, really, really disordered and harmful and really, really predictable.

00:22:04.200
Modernity is just a giant Rube Goldberg machine.
00:22:09.180
Talking about the idolatry of science, you know the Rube Goldberg machines where there are 700 crazy steps
00:22:15.320
to accomplish a really simple task that you could have done in one or two steps?
00:22:21.080
In the old days, when we were all just stupid and illiterate, you know, we weren't science-y, and we didn't even have iPods and stuff.
00:22:29.100
Back in those days, a man and a woman would just find each other, and they would get married, and they would do this thing, and they'd have kids, and they'd have a family, and they'd have a good life.
00:22:36.580
Today, though, we're really smart and fancy and sophisticated, so desperate, miserable women need to wait until their late 30s to put an advertisement out
00:22:48.520
begging a man to commit a mortal sin into a cup or something, and then purchase that so that they can produce a child that might know his father or probably won't know his father
00:23:02.480
so that the mother can fulfill her desire to have a child as a sort of appendage or a handbag, kind of like a little poodle.
00:23:15.580
I wondered, if I were a woman, if I were in this woman's shoes, because I think she makes a really honest point here when she says,
00:23:24.220
look, I've been really successful in my career, but now I woke up one day and I realized I don't have the things that really matter.
00:23:31.360
I think that's true for a lot of women, and I think in part that's because they've been lied to from the moment they were born,
00:23:37.020
and in this age that is so influenced by feminism, they're told, you don't need a man, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
00:23:46.200
You don't relate to sex any differently than men do.
00:23:48.940
You need to go out and hook up with a lot of people, and you need to go to college and get a degree so you can get a job in the widget factory,
00:23:55.280
but more likely, if you're a lady, you'll probably be in marketing or PR or journalism or something.
00:24:01.140
Then you've got to go to the city and live on your own or with a roommate, and you need to hook up with a lot of people
00:24:07.780
and go to brunch every Sunday and just work, work, work, work, work, and don't do anything that will be edifying
00:24:13.300
and grow your family or your personal life, and then maybe freeze your eggs, and then one day you're going to find out
00:24:18.120
that you're getting a little too late to get married, so then you need to purchase some guy's sperm,
00:24:22.840
and then maybe you can have a kid to fulfill your own desires rather than having a kid as a product of your natural love
00:24:29.180
for your husband with whom you are in a lifelong union that exists for the very purpose of the generation
00:24:35.100
and education of those children, both of you in on that, and for the mutual support of the spouses,
00:24:41.060
the latter part of which you will be deprived if you do this because we live in liberal modernity.
00:24:47.220
They've been lied to, and so they get to that point, and they freak out, and they say,
00:24:51.180
I need a kid. It's getting too late. That biological clock starts ticking, and they have a kid
00:24:56.620
in the wrong way, in a way that is not conducive to the good of the child and not conducive to the
00:25:05.620
good of the woman either because she's going to have to raise a kid on her own, and it's very
00:25:08.980
difficult. Even the way she writes, she goes, yeah, look, I'm looking for someone willing to be in the
00:25:13.420
kid's life from birth, but not every day or even. I don't want to see you every day. I don't want to see
00:25:18.700
my child's father every day or week or month just like every now and again so that I can make
00:25:25.120
myself feel better about intentionally depriving a kid of his father. You can just write the kid a
00:25:29.000
letter. That's not good enough for the kid. Maybe that's good enough for you, liberal journalist
00:25:34.100
lady. That's not good enough for the kid. A kid needs mommy and daddy, full stop, and it's one thing
00:25:43.160
to say we live in a fallen world. Maybe daddy runs off. He goes to get a pack of cigarettes.
00:25:46.860
He doesn't come back. It's a fallen world. Maybe a parent dies, and yeah, we get by,
00:25:53.320
and we do the best we can in an imperfect world. But to intentionally deprive a kid of that because
00:25:59.360
you just didn't get your life together to get married, but you still want a kid, and too bad
00:26:03.580
for the little kiddo if he doesn't get his daddy. It's all right. He'll write him a birthday card
00:26:10.060
every so often. Occasionally. That's very wrong and very, very selfish. I was thinking, I started
00:26:18.880
this thought, and then I trailed off. If I were a woman and I were in this woman's, what would I do?
00:26:23.760
I'd probably go to a bar. I mean, ideally what you do is you just get married and you do all the
00:26:28.120
right virtuous things. But if I were in this woman's exact circumstances and I had the same views and
00:26:33.160
behaviors as this woman, I'd probably just like go to a bar and find a guy and go back to my apartment,
00:26:37.780
and then boom, you get a kid. And who knows? Maybe the two of you get married and maybe you
00:26:42.420
actually have a good life. To quote John Lennon, many children have been born out of a bottle of
00:26:47.900
whiskey. Maybe that's what you do. If you're going to do this already, why not do it the natural way?
00:26:53.340
Why do you get all the doctors involved or the black market sperm donors and the websites? And
00:26:58.160
why do you make it so freaking clinical? For goodness sakes, you know, Cole Porter sings,
00:27:03.220
let's do it. Let's go on a website and purchase sperm. And then you maybe get the guy to write a
00:27:12.020
birthday card to his son every few years. No, it's let's do it. Let's fall in love. It's not
00:27:16.540
that complicated. It's not that complicated. Modernity makes it complicated. Liberalism makes
00:27:21.060
it complicated. Hyper individualism that tells you to ignore everyone else and just pursue your
00:27:24.840
own interests. That kind of liberalism on the left and on the right, that kind of liberalism among
00:27:28.980
the hippies and the free lovers and that kind of liberalism among Ayn Rand and the virtue of
00:27:33.540
selfishness. All of that is what makes this so complicated. It doesn't have to be. You know,
00:27:41.340
you kind of know just naturally. We're social creatures. We're coupling creatures. Men like
00:27:45.880
women. Women like men. Sometimes we like each other so much that that love becomes another person.
00:27:51.500
We know it's best for the kid if the parents both raise him together, married forever for life.
00:27:56.100
Just do it. Just do it. We're not so much smarter than every generation that came before us.
00:28:03.160
We don't even know what dark matter is. Okay, we don't. We don't. We're not just if you kind of
00:28:09.600
follow the just prejudices of every generation before us, you're probably going to live a better life
00:28:19.300
than if you try to reinvent everything from scratch. Speaking of weird sex stuff,
00:28:25.320
Georgia Maloney, who's the prime minister of Italy, is suing a guy for creating.
00:28:31.620

00:28:59.540
Deep fake porn about her. Georgia Maloney is a lady and nice looking lady. And for nice looking
00:29:08.400
ladies in the public eye, there is a problem that is rapidly increasing, which is that computer tools
00:29:15.400
make it easy to make fake porn of the women. This has been true for years, decades perhaps even.
00:29:22.000
With Photoshop, you can kind of make it look like Georgia Maloney is naked. That's one thing.
00:29:27.080
But now with the rise of artificial intelligence, you can make elaborate, very convincing pictures,
00:29:33.580
elaborate, very convincing videos. This kind of a scandal just hit Taylor Swift. Remember a few
00:29:39.020
weeks ago or maybe a month or two ago when Taylor Swift was, through AI, seen to be doing all these
00:29:48.120
horrific things in a football stadium. It was really, really gross. I didn't watch it, by the way.
00:29:52.100
I hope you didn't watch it either. But she considered taking legal action. And Georgia Maloney
00:29:56.940
is taking legal action. She is suing the guy, the two men who did this for 100,000 euro. This is a
00:30:05.300
defamation lawsuit. But there are other ways to go after them too. One, an unlicensed commercial use of
00:30:14.740
their image. These videos have been viewed millions of times. They were shared on a US porn site and
00:30:20.620
they've been viewed millions of times. That has generated a lot of revenue. This was done by a
00:30:24.720
40-year-old man and his 73-year-old father. Allegedly, they're under investigation now. It's
00:30:31.000
unclear exactly who or if maybe both of them did it. But it's so freaking creepy. And the only way
00:30:38.500
this is going to stop is through lawfare in the short run. And then once you reimpose legal
00:30:46.560
restrictions on this, then perhaps you can beef up the cultural restrictions on it as well.
00:30:53.740
The taboo, the shame that would go along with being caught doing something. So could you imagine
00:30:59.140
you're one of these guys? First of all, it's not even like it's a 16-year-old kid. 16-year-old kid
00:31:04.060
who's not in control of his hormones and his lusts, goofing around on Photoshop. That's one
00:31:10.820
thing, I guess. A 40-year-old man and his 73-year-old father, that is so disgusting. That is
00:31:16.660
so deeply shameful. And she sues. All of these women should sue because we're in the early stages
00:31:27.040
of this technology. So we're going to see what kind of legal restrictions we're going to put on
00:31:32.600
them. In the early days of the internet, the conservatives and the liberals came together
00:31:36.860
in America, tried to put restrictions on internet porn, and liberal judges overruled it. And we
00:31:41.420
missed our chance on the Communications Decency Act and the Child Online Protection Act. Had those
00:31:45.540
two laws passed and imposed all sorts of restrictions on porn, a generation of kids who write into this
00:31:51.120
show a lot would have been much, much better off. Now, finally, 20 years later, more than 20 years
00:31:57.940
later, you're beginning to see some of those restrictions put back on with the age verification
00:32:03.400
laws, for instance, that are being passed for porn sites in a lot of different states.
00:32:06.760
This is the next step of that. We're now in what the 90s were to the internet. That is today for
00:32:12.840
artificial intelligence. And it's not going to stop with Georgia Maloney. It's not going to stop with
00:32:16.220
Taylor Swift. The creepiest part is it's going to be the girl in your math class. That is already
00:32:20.240
happening. There are already cases about this. Prosecute it as hard as you can now,
00:32:25.200
under all the existing laws, then pass some new laws. Otherwise, this is going to spin out of
00:32:30.520
control, and no woman in the world is going to be safe from what is a type of digital rape.
00:32:37.940
Now, speaking of legal maneuvers, and speaking of people taking things that don't belong to them,
00:32:45.640
President Trump is in a pickle because the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James,
00:32:50.560
is demanding almost half a billion dollars from him in some bogus civil fraud judgment.
00:32:55.920
Now, neither Trump nor anyone on earth can come up with half a billion dollars overnight.
00:33:01.720
And just even Elon Musk couldn't really do that, as I mentioned yesterday on the show.
00:33:05.160
So he's not going to be able to scrap together the money. That leaves him with two options. He could
00:33:11.020
either file Chapter 11. He could declare bankruptcy. He's done that before, and he was able to bounce back
00:33:18.400
from that. That might protect his properties, but it carries some risks. If you're running for
00:33:24.260
president, do you really want to declare bankruptcy halfway through your campaign? That's probably kind
00:33:27.920
of a PR loss. Who knows if it would work this time? So then the other option is let the Attorney
00:33:37.420
General let the Liberals take his property. And not only would that strategy serve to make him look like a
00:33:45.880
martyr, serve to make him look like he's being unjustly persecuted, which the vast majority of Americans
00:33:51.440
believe he is, including Democrats. But it would also give him the opportunity to get his properties
00:33:58.120
back. Because if this extremely brazen, partisan, hack attorney general in New York who ran on
00:34:07.040
destroying Trump. If she takes his property, she takes Trump Tower. She takes his property down by
00:34:13.440
Wall Street. If she takes that, Trump's going to appeal it. It could go up to the Supreme Court,
00:34:19.240
and the Supreme Court could say, no, we don't actually get to steal all the possessions of
00:34:24.060
vanquished political leaders. That's something they do in Banana Republics. That's something they did
00:34:29.160
in ancient Rome. We don't do that here. That's not how we run our system. Trump could then get his
00:34:36.720
property back, no harm, no foul. And maybe he gets elected president in the meantime. The risk to that
00:34:42.220
is that if Trump lets her take the property, she could go out and sell it. All that Trump would be
00:34:49.120
entitled to on appeal would be the money, half a billion dollars or whatever. But he could lose
00:34:56.540
the property. Now, would the property sell fast enough for that to happen? Probably. That would be
00:35:00.800
the gamble for Trump to take. But if you're looking at the three options here, one, come up with the
00:35:05.140
cash. That's practically impossible, as his lawyers have argued. Two, declare bankruptcy would
00:35:10.640
probably destroy his presidential campaign and might not even work legally. Or three,
00:35:19.620
let them take the property and then very possibly or even likely get that property back
00:35:24.240
on appeal. That looks to be the smart strategy. And it's the most dramatic, and President Trump has
00:35:30.020
a flair for the dramatic. So probably that's the strategy that he'll go with. Ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:34.800

Tears Tumblr and drink to triggering the Left. Chin-chin. My favorite comment yesterday is from
00:36:36.540
SlapMyBase3825, who says, now that the bar exam is banned in Washington state, it is safe to assume
00:36:43.440
that any random citizen from a red state is smarter than the average lawyer in Seattle. Well, it depends.
00:36:49.740
It depends how many lawyers opt not to take the bar exam. The ones who take the bar exam,
00:36:58.720
they're going to be the only reliable lawyers, certainly. So it depends. Is it going to be truly
00:37:03.920
barbarians at the gates, just like it opens up and now the most lawyers in Seattle are
00:37:10.860
dummies who are totally uneducated, don't know anything about the law? If that's the case,
00:37:16.960
they shouldn't try to become practicing lawyers in Washington. They should try to become legislators
00:37:20.380
in Washington, D.C. Not the state, but the district. Then they'll be much more successful.
00:37:25.680
You don't need to know a damn thing about the law to become a legislator in D.C. So it could be that
00:37:31.100
case. Or the practical effect might be all the good law firms hire the lawyers who can pass the bar exam.
00:37:37.780
And then you get a bunch of joker lawyers trying to hang a shingle. And that means that the rich people
00:37:44.920
get the good lawyers and the bad people and the, not the bad people, the poor people get the bad
00:37:48.280
lawyers, which is, I guess, basically what we've, we've always had. It'll just be greatly exacerbated.
00:37:54.380
And in the name of equity, you will have a complete stratification of the kind of legal counsel that
00:38:00.680
people are entitled to. Now, speaking of President Trump, you remember about a week ago,
00:38:10.040
President Trump said that he's going to support car manufacturing in America. And he's going to,
00:38:17.200
if he's elected, prevent China from stealing American car manufacturing. And he's going to
00:38:22.620
place major tariffs on that. And it's going to rebuild American manufacturing. And if he's not
00:38:27.540
elected, it's going to be a bloodbath. The libs then ran with that and said, he's a fascist. He's
00:38:32.220
going to, he's going to kill us all. He's going to, he's going to genocide all of us. He's Hitler
00:38:36.740
times a hundred. Obviously, President Trump was, was speaking figuratively there, but I got to give
00:38:43.940
a hat tip over to Breitbart and John Binder over there who points out that if you just look up the
00:38:50.080
Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of bloodbath, not, not the primary definition, but a secondary or
00:38:59.840
tertiary definition is a major economic turmoil. Specifically an economic crisis. So even we could
00:39:10.500
use it colloquially to mean that, but just even according to the popular dictionary, that is what
00:39:17.580
that means. Not that it will matter for the libs because the libs, as you know, love to change the
00:39:22.860
meaning of words all the time. I would not be surprised if Merriam-Webster dictionary erased
00:39:28.680
that definition of the word. I, I happened to write a book on this called Speechless Controlling
00:39:34.220
Words, Controlling Minds, which is available now. There you go. Thank you. That you could tell the
00:39:37.820
producers knew that that plug was coming. That's what they do because the libs understand that the
00:39:44.880
words that we use are not neutral, neutral media for communicating ideas, but that they're loaded,
00:39:55.680
they're colored, they, they shape the way that you perceive everything. So they have to change the
00:40:02.300
definitions of these words. They need to control the definitions of these words in order to win
00:40:07.360
political debates before they even actually take place. They, they win them through a sort of
00:40:12.480
inception. They just plant their own victories in your head so that you, you, you end up speechless so
00:40:18.180
that you, you cannot actually, excuse me, excuse me, where's the, do we have a bell there? Okay. I
00:40:23.220
guess the producers fell asleep. There we go. You wind up speechless because you, you are no longer
00:40:28.080
able to, thank you, to even conceive of your own side of the argument. Now, speaking of President
00:40:37.040
Trump's supposed ambitions, the latest non-troversy that came out yesterday, the latest proof that
00:40:42.980
Donald Trump is an autocrat, a dictator in waiting, is that President Trump said he likes the idea
00:40:50.520
of the royal family. I'm a big fan of the concept of the royal family and the royal family.
00:40:59.360
There it is. That was the clip. That was the clip going around all of the internet. Now,
00:41:04.640
context is important here. President Trump is speaking to Nigel Farage on GB News. Stands for
00:41:10.740
Great Britain News. And, and President Trump is very good at relating to people. And so, uh, when,
00:41:18.200
when he's speaking to a Brit, he's going to talk about things that might appeal to a Brit. When he's
00:41:25.280
speaking to Kim Jong-un of North Korea, he might speak about things that appeal to Kim Jong-un of
00:41:29.740
North Korea. Uh, he tailors his conversation in that way as, as all persuasive people do. But,
00:41:35.400
but I, I suspect what President Trump is saying is just true broadly here. He likes the idea of a royal
00:41:40.080
family. I like the idea of a royal family too. I bet most, not all of you, but most of you listening
00:41:45.680
will like the idea of a royal family because most people always and everywhere like the idea of a
00:41:52.900
royal family because that is embedded into politics. Politics is an extension of the family. The basic
00:42:02.700
political unit, as we say very often on the right, the basic political unit is the family. And then you
00:42:10.800
have the extended family. And then you have the tribe, the community. Then you have the tribe. Then you
00:42:17.160
have the state. Then you have the nation. And it kind of builds out from there. But it's, it's all just a
00:42:23.380
broadening out of the family. Patriotism is an extension of filial piety. The, the respect and reverence that
00:42:31.720
you owe to your parents. And in nations that have a royal family, even a nation like Britain, which is
00:42:40.000
sort of a monarchy, but it's obviously also a democracy. And it's just, as, as our nation was
00:42:46.580
initially intended to be, it's going to have a monarchical element in the executive. And then
00:42:50.360
it's going to have a democratic element in the legislature. And it's going to have an aristocratic
00:42:54.900
representation. It's going to have a logical aspect, which is supposed to be the judiciary.
00:42:59.940
It's got all of these things, just as St. Thomas Aquinas writes in the Summa Theologiae.
00:43:04.140
A perfect government is going to, going to touch on all of these desires and longings and needs
00:43:11.180
from within human nature. A royal family is important because it represents, it symbolizes
00:43:17.940
that bedrock aspect of politics. And it's a unifying entity. That this is why the royal family in Great
00:43:27.720
Britain takes great pains and always has not to become party political, not to become partisan.
00:43:33.760
They're supposed to be above that symbol of unity. And, uh, you know, in our hyper democratic
00:43:40.520
egalitarian age, you'll hear people say all sorts of terrible things about the royal family. That's
00:43:45.960
ridiculous. They wear their tiaras. They live in their palaces. This is awful. It's contrary to the
00:43:50.700
will of the people, tear them down, eat them, take all their stuff. This is very contrary to the
00:43:57.680
well-being of the, the actual people in these countries. The monarchy exists for the good of
00:44:05.160
the people. It's not that the people exist for the good of the monarchy. The people get a lot more out
00:44:09.700
of the royal family in Great Britain than the royal family gets out of the people. This is always an
00:44:15.140
argument that crops up, but why is it throughout history that, uh, men are drawn toward this sort
00:44:21.900
of thing, toward a, uh, some nobility toward a monarch even because the people want something
00:44:27.800
that they can all hold in common, that, that unites them, that, that dignifies them, that expresses
00:44:33.120
their own dignity and desire for dignity. When you look in the United Kingdom, would, would anyone
00:44:38.240
really want to trade places with a member of the royal family? Maybe some people would probably not
00:44:42.480
though. You, your, your choices of what you can do are greatly restricted. Your choices of where you
00:44:47.260
can live, how you can behave, how you can dress, what you, everything is greatly restricted and it's
00:44:52.140
all in, it's supposed to be in service of the people. And when the royal families step a little
00:44:57.460
too far out of line, then they get booted out or overthrown and all their stuff is taken away.
00:45:02.020
And sometimes their heads are chopped off. Frankly, even when they don't step out of line, sometimes
00:45:06.480
that, that sort of thing happens. Trump says, I kind of like that idea of just a unifying
00:45:12.100
figure. Now, before we go in the same interview with Najafaraj, President Trump makes a really
00:45:20.300
great observation about Joe Biden and his behavior. Biden likes going to the beach. You could see that
00:45:26.840
he's always in a bathing suit. It doesn't look good, but he thinks it does. And some advisor does.
00:45:31.140
He could have gone to the beach if he would have left my policies in order, having to do with the
00:45:35.960
economy, having to do with everything. So true. Preach President Trump. Joe Biden likes going to
00:45:43.180
the beach. He thinks he looks good in a bathing suit. He does not. And he could have gone to the
00:45:46.760
beach all he wanted and relaxed and he just kept Trump's policies in order. I mention it because
00:45:53.700
this guy is still funny. This guy has still got it. This guy is still quick on his feet.
00:46:01.420
There is no way the Democrats can let Biden debate him. They'll say he's an insurrectionist. He's a
00:46:09.660
fascist. We're not going to dignify him with a debate. He's a criminal. He deserves 700 years
00:46:14.500
in prison. He's bankrupt. He's going to say, they're going to say anything they can to get
00:46:18.660
Biden out of the debate because Trump is still pretty fast. He doesn't really seem to have lost a
00:46:26.260
beat. I've said before that he seems to exhibit what the writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls anti-fragility.
00:46:36.340
The more you pummel this guy, the tougher he gets, it seems. He's just going to keep pummeling
00:46:45.100
ahead until they take all of his property, until they put him in an orange jumpsuit, until they banish
00:46:49.580
him from St. Helena. This is very much in character with the executive. Getting back to what we were
00:46:57.980
saying about the royal family, we live in a very liberal and egalitarian age that tries to destroy
00:47:03.680
all distinctions and deny even conceptions of dignity and spiritedness. But the point of the
00:47:10.160
executive, the point of the presidency, is to be the spirited part of the government, the thematic part
00:47:14.660
of the government, to use an old dusty Greek word. The legislature is the appetitive part of the
00:47:20.100
government. The congressmen get reelected every two years. They're very accountable to the passions
00:47:24.220
of the people. The judiciary is supposed to be the purely logical part of the government that just
00:47:28.600
interprets the law and they're in their long robes and they're in their giant, their big, beautiful
00:47:33.320
temple. The presidency is the spirited part. And people know that intuitively. They desire that
00:47:40.400
naturally. And between Trump and Biden right now, there is no question. One of them represents
00:47:46.740
a spirited aspect of the United States. And the Democrats are terrified of that.
