Summary

A new frontier in public policy, largely unnoticed, is prescribing away your Second Amendment rights. A man comes to a hospital with a sprained ankle, and the doctor asks him a few questions about his gun: How many alcoholic drinks do you drink each week? Do you have access to firearms inside or outside the home? When the patient answers yes, she offers him a gun lock and a pamphlet with information on firearm safety classes.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I know we're all busy talking about the border and the economy and the wars overseas,
00:00:05.040 but the libs over at the Atlantic are celebrating a new frontier in public policy,
00:00:11.020 largely unnoticed, and that is prescribing away your Second Amendment rights.
00:00:17.640 Here's the headline. The doctor will ask about your gun now. Just a paragraph or two.
00:00:25.620 A man comes to Northwell Health's hospital on Staten Island with a sprained ankle.
00:00:31.500 Any allergies? The doctor asks. How many alcoholic drinks do you have each week?
00:00:35.880 Do you have access to firearms inside or outside the home?
00:00:39.160 When the patient answers yes to that last question, someone from his care team explains that locking up the firearm can make his home safer.
00:00:47.080 She, of course it's a she, offers him a gun lock and a pamphlet with information on secure storage and firearm safety classes.
00:00:56.200 And all of this happens during the visit about his ankle.
00:01:00.820 Northwell Health is part of a growing movement of healthcare providers that want to talk with patients about guns,
00:01:08.220 like they would diet, exercise, or sex, treating firearm injury as a public health issue.
00:01:15.040 In the past few years, the White House has declared firearm injury an epidemic,
00:01:20.760 and the CDC and the National Institutes of Health have begun offering grants for prevention research.
00:01:28.340 Meanwhile, dozens of medical societies agree that gun injury is a public health crisis,
00:01:33.540 and that healthcare providers have to help stop it.
00:01:37.640 As they say, this policy has been building for some time, largely unnoticed.
00:01:42.640 This is part of a much broader agenda.
00:01:50.320 This is not about your ankle, and this is not about your alcoholic drinks, and this is not even totally about your guns.
00:01:58.240 This is about the liberals pathologizing your rights, beliefs, and way of life,
00:02:04.840 so they don't have to debate them, and they don't need to recognize them.
00:02:09.240 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:10.780 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:31.960 Trump has nine lives.
00:02:35.060 That's not true. He has 90 lives. He has 900 lives.
00:02:38.320 President Trump, at the last moment, has just posted the $175 million bond that was required
00:02:47.440 to prevent the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, from stealing his buildings.
00:02:52.140 She was there. She was so close.
00:02:53.940 Wile E. Coyote was just about to take Trump Tower, and then Roadrunner Donald got away.
00:02:58.480 We will get to that in just a moment.
00:02:59.620 First, though, speaking of science and progress, the governor of Michigan, this is Gretchen Whitmer, she's a big promoter of science.
00:03:17.260 All the liberals are big promoters of science, and so their public policy, it's just a matter of science.
00:03:24.680 It's not a matter of eternal questions and first principles and public debate and your preferences and your right to govern yourself.
00:03:30.340 It's just a matter of science.
00:03:31.480 And so Gretchen Whitmer was asked about an increasingly controversial public policy question, and that is the surrogacy industry, the baby store, and IVF, which really come down to the same questions we've been debating with abortion for a long time, which is, does human life really begin at the beginning of human life?
00:03:53.240 By definition, it does.
00:03:54.600 Okay, then are we going to treat the humans like humans, or are we going to treat them like products to buy and sell, or are we going to treat them like trash or like a pathogen to be destroyed?
00:04:04.480 How do we treat people?
00:04:06.100 Gretchen Whitmer has asked this specifically about the surrogacy industry.
00:04:09.900 Here's her answer.
00:04:11.880 On that ruling in Alabama, you have not said whether or not you agree that frozen embryos are considered people.
00:04:19.260 What is your position on that?
00:04:20.800 You know, who cares what my position is, Kaylin?
00:04:23.860 What matters is what the parents and their doctor agree is whatever is right for them, how they define it.
00:04:32.000 That's the only one whose opinion should matter.
00:04:34.140 Not a judge, not a politician, not a governor from a different state.
00:04:37.960 That's what the fundamental question is here.
00:04:40.620 Are we going to empower Americans to make their own health care decisions and make decisions about how they go about starting their family and whether or not they go about starting a family?
00:04:49.940 And that's what I'm fighting for here in Michigan.
00:04:52.980 Oh, okay.
00:04:55.140 Pretty weak sauce, Governor.
00:04:56.840 The question that CNN is asking is, hey, Governor, do you think as a matter of law we ought to be able to slaughter babies or alternately put them in a freezer forever?
00:05:08.480 And the governor of the state of Michigan says, what are you asking me for?
00:05:13.080 I'm just a governor.
00:05:13.920 I just make laws.
00:05:14.880 Why are you asking me what I think the law should be?
00:05:17.120 No, no, I don't want to answer that.
00:05:18.660 It doesn't matter what I think.
00:05:19.760 I'm just the governor, the people elected to make the laws.
00:05:21.800 So stop asking me about the laws.
00:05:23.560 No, no.
00:05:24.240 No, all that matters is what the doctors say with their patience, which is that it's liberals playing a little trick here.
00:05:34.740 It's a little bit of a shell game.
00:05:37.460 They're trying to hide their politics.
00:05:40.620 They're trying to hide their political philosophy.
00:05:42.680 They're trying to hide their active measures in public life behind the facade of science.
00:05:52.500 That's not my opinion.
00:05:53.320 It's just the science.
00:05:55.040 This isn't my political action.
00:05:57.740 It's just individual rights or something like that.
00:06:00.800 No, no one has ever seriously believed that there isn't a totally protected individual right to kill your babies or lock them in a freezer forever in America.
00:06:10.420 It's a novel question.
00:06:12.680 Brought about by a novel technology that draws on eternal principles and debates, and we elect public servants to make the laws for us and help to resolve some of those debates.
00:06:25.940 The politicians are an expression of the desires of the people, and we elect them in part for their judgment.
00:06:35.460 But they don't want to give us their judgment when they know that the answer is ghastly.
00:06:38.240 Gretchen Whitmer wants to avoid the question here because she knows that it's kind of a lose-lose.
00:06:43.780 Either she says, yeah, you can't just slaughter all the babies or throw them in a freezer forever, which alienates her infanticidal Democrat base.
00:06:51.740 Or she says, yeah, kill them all.
00:06:55.500 Kill all those babies.
00:06:56.440 We're going to get them, which obviously alienates the moderates and the independents who don't think it's a great idea to go to the baby store and then kill them or freeze them willy-nilly.
00:07:05.540 So she says, well, no, it's actually, are you kidding me?
00:07:09.300 It's not up to me.
00:07:10.100 This is the conclusion of a political order based on slogans from the sitcom Friends.
00:07:18.020 You remember Friends popularized that dumb slogan.
00:07:21.920 No uterus, no opinion.
00:07:23.860 Oh, you men.
00:07:26.460 You think you get to have an opinion in our self-government over whether or not we murder a bunch of babies?
00:07:31.180 No, if you don't have a uterus, then you don't get to use your reason and your conscience to determine whether or not we slaughter a bunch of infants in our ostensibly self-governing republic.
00:07:42.660 No, you do.
00:07:43.360 You do, actually.
00:07:44.120 I can have an opinion on all sorts of things that will affect me more or less directly because I'm a citizen and I have reason.
00:07:54.060 She knows her answers are ghastly, so she has to abstract.
00:07:57.440 Oh, it's just reason.
00:07:58.320 It's just science.
00:07:59.580 It's just progress.
00:08:01.520 It's just, there's no political debate to be had.
00:08:03.900 There is.
00:08:04.220 There have been plenty of societies that slaughter kids, whether for the purposes of eugenics or for the purposes of supposed individual liberation or just because of cruel prejudices.
00:08:16.000 Plenty of them.
00:08:17.660 But let's not pretend that this is not controversial.
00:08:21.900 Let's not pretend that you don't have an opinion, Gretchen Whitmer.
00:08:25.560 Let's not pretend that the question of whether or not we get to protect ourselves with our Second Amendment rights, how we get to use the natural right to self-defense, that that's not a political question.
00:08:37.940 It's what they want to do by taking, by promoting the technocracy and by pathologizing and scientifying, that's a new word that I'm making, scientizing all of the political questions.
00:08:52.700 It's just a way to take the political matters out of the realm of debate and to shut you up.
00:09:00.720 There's so much more to say.
00:09:02.160 First, though, go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles.
00:09:05.280 Does it make sense that the same company that controls half of online retail also passively eavesdrops on your private conversations at home?
00:09:13.360 Well, it is time to put a layer of protection between your online activity and these tech juggernauts.
00:09:18.980 That is why I use ExpressVPN.
00:09:22.220 Think about how much of your life is on the Internet.
00:09:24.100 Sadly, every site you visit, the emails you send and receive, videos you watch, or messages you send get tracked and data mined.
00:09:30.840 But when you run ExpressVPN on your device, the software hides your IP address so that big tech cannot use it to identify you personally.
00:09:38.020 ExpressVPN makes your activity harder to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:09:42.180 ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your Internet data to keep you safe from hackers and eavesdroppers on your network.
00:09:50.480 ExpressVPN is so easy to use, I can do it.
00:09:52.580 You just press one button, boom, you're protected on your phone, on your computer, on your tablet.
00:09:56.820 It's fabulous.
00:09:57.440 Stop handing over your personal data to the big tech monopoly that mines your activity and sells your info.
00:10:03.100 Protect yourself with a VPN that I trust to keep me safe online.
00:10:07.300 That is expressvpn.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:10:10.240 E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:10:20.240 Speaking of science and progress, another Democrat politician, Pete Buttigieg.
00:10:26.500 Judge, the Secretary of Transportation, he's returned from maternity leave.
00:10:32.220 He is now going on Fox News, and he is explaining how important it is for Americans to give up the cars that they like to buy a bunch of dumb electric cars that many people don't like.
00:10:43.580 Well, let's be clear.
00:10:46.120 Consumers have wanted and purchased more EVs every single year than the year before.
00:10:52.860 And, you know, Tesla is facing more competition as GM and Ford and Stellantis and other competitive players start to make sure they get a piece of the EV market.
00:11:03.000 Let's be clear that the automotive sector is moving toward EVs, and we can't pretend otherwise.
00:11:09.880 Sometimes when these debates happen, I feel like it's the early 2000s, and I'm talking to some people who think that we can just have landline phones forever.
00:11:17.700 The reality is that the automotive sector is moving toward EVs, and the U.S. can either fall behind China, or we can claim the lead.
00:11:25.420 It's just happening, guys.
00:11:27.940 What?
00:11:28.380 Do you want—imagine if we just clinged to landline phones, ha-ha, forever.
00:11:33.400 That's a terrible analogy.
00:11:35.140 Because in the case of electric vehicles versus regular cars, the electric vehicles are much closer to the landline phones, and the gasoline-powered cars are much closer to the cell phones.
00:11:46.960 People like cell phones because they get to move around with them.
00:11:51.300 They can take their phone calls anywhere.
00:11:52.900 It gives them a lot more choice in mobility.
00:11:56.140 The landline kind of tethers you and limits your ability to move, just as the electric vehicle does.
00:12:00.500 You can't go on a cross-country road trip willy-nilly with an electric vehicle because the range isn't long enough.
00:12:05.720 And once you run out—even on the best electric cars, you run out your 200-mile range at best, you're going to have to pause and then sit at the electric charging station for, even with the best cars, what, half an hour, maybe longer for the cheaper electric cars?
00:12:19.660 It's not practical.
00:12:20.940 You're not going on a road trip in that.
00:12:22.900 You get a good old gas-guzzling car, you just drive.
00:12:26.500 You hit the open road, and then your tank gets a little low.
00:12:28.680 You pull over to one of the bazillion gas stations in America.
00:12:31.620 You fill up, you're on the road again in less than five minutes.
00:12:36.160 It's true that electric vehicles are newer, I guess, just as cell phones are newer than landlines.
00:12:41.860 But it doesn't make them preferable.
00:12:43.820 Not every new idea, not every new product is better than the old one.
00:12:48.560 That is the prejudice of progress.
00:12:51.420 That is Pete Buttigieg doing the exact same thing that Gretchen Whitmer is trying to do, doing the exact same thing that the libs at the CDC are trying to do with guns.
00:12:58.820 They're trying to pretend that their vision of left-wing progress is inevitable.
00:13:06.660 Well, actually, guys, you know, the country, it's just moving toward electric cars.
00:13:11.320 No, you're trying to make it move toward electric cars, and people don't want to.
00:13:14.760 Um, actually, you know, we've sold more electric vehicles this year than any year in the past.
00:13:21.280 Yeah, what, you sold like five last year, and you sold four the year before.
00:13:24.580 I mean, it's a little bit higher than that.
00:13:26.000 But the reason he's even going on TV now to desperately defend electric vehicles is because even Tesla,
00:13:31.580 Tesla, which is sexy and cool, and it's run by the wackiest, super-genius billionaire that we've seen in our lifetimes,
00:13:39.140 even Tesla is seeing declining sales.
00:13:41.920 He's trying to talk up Ford and Chevy.
00:13:43.440 Ford and Chevy EVs are a complete joke.
00:13:46.360 People don't really want this stuff.
00:13:48.180 Even the really super-sexy Tesla car, even that, people are not that into it, at least not yet.
00:13:55.160 Stop trying to make this happen, but they won't stop trying to make it happen.
00:13:58.720 And even worse, they won't stop gaslighting all of us and pretending that it's just happening naturally.
00:14:04.760 The reason that there is any electric vehicle purchasing going on in the U.S.
00:14:09.040 is because the government is heavily subsidizing these cars,
00:14:11.720 because the government hates gasoline and the government hates oil,
00:14:16.100 the government run by the liberals,
00:14:17.780 and they hate it because of their fears of the sun monster,
00:14:22.140 and they hate it because of their weird prejudices,
00:14:23.880 and they hate it because they want to pay off their friends that happen to work in the green industry.
00:14:27.420 Whatever the reasons for it, they are very actively, through politics,
00:14:32.980 pushing these dumb electric cars that most people don't want.
00:14:37.120 And then, that's fair enough, I guess that's politics,
00:14:39.920 but they have the audacity to look us in the face and say,
00:14:41.820 oh, no, no, no, this is just history.
00:14:43.440 This is just science.
00:14:44.120 This is just progress.
00:14:45.740 No, it's not.
00:14:46.260 I don't even have an opinion about guns.
00:14:47.800 No, no, it's just the doctors say.
00:14:49.600 The science says.
00:14:51.060 Oh, no, I don't have an opinion about whether you should go to the baby store
00:14:53.400 and buy a baby and then kill someone, throw them in a freezer.
00:14:55.480 It's just the science.
00:14:57.200 No, it's not.
00:14:57.940 Own your own opinion.
00:14:58.900 But they won't own their own opinion,
00:14:59.940 which tells you a whole lot about their opinions,
00:15:02.300 which is their opinions are largely indefensible.
00:15:05.300 So they have to remove themselves from them,
00:15:09.340 including Mayor Pete.
00:15:11.760 It is not backed up by consumer preferences.
00:15:14.820 It is not backed up by history.
00:15:16.180 The electric vehicle keeps dying.
00:15:17.560 It keeps flopping.
00:15:18.860 It is not backed up by logic.
00:15:20.740 The gasoline cars are just much more versatile.
00:15:22.500 They are simply preferable right now to the electric vehicles.
00:15:27.020 So they got to lie.
00:15:28.300 They got to lie and just kind of force us.
00:15:30.260 Now, speaking of progress,
00:15:31.340 it is not only the Democrats I want to knock today.
00:15:35.440 Sometimes the Republicans,
00:15:37.840 they drive me crazier than the Democrats.
00:15:41.940 There is a Republican attorney general in Oklahoma.
00:15:46.420 This attorney general,
00:15:49.060 Gentner Drummond,
00:15:50.760 just personally argued a case
00:15:54.880 before the Oklahoma Supreme Court
00:15:57.420 against a Catholic charter school in his state.
00:16:03.360 Huh?
00:16:04.200 What?
00:16:05.920 You got a Republican attorney general
00:16:09.600 who is looking at the development of charter schools.
00:16:13.740 I don't know.
00:16:14.200 Call me a crazy old-fashioned conservative and Republican.
00:16:17.220 And I thought that was good.
00:16:18.780 He's looking specifically at a religious school,
00:16:21.200 a traditional Christian school in his state.
00:16:25.540 Catholic schools have probably the best track record of education
00:16:28.440 in the entire history of the West.
00:16:29.700 He's looking at that.
00:16:32.400 And he's saying,
00:16:33.500 I'm going to fight that.
00:16:34.920 Of all the things I'm going to fight today,
00:16:36.320 this is what I'm going to fight.
00:16:37.300 And why is he going to fight it?
00:16:39.440 He's going to fight it
00:16:40.540 because he is opposed to taxpayer-funded religion.
00:16:44.720 This is a man,
00:16:45.980 he's a real Republican.
00:16:47.240 He's a man who wants a firm separation
00:16:48.900 between church and state.
00:16:50.100 He is a real conservative.
00:16:51.360 That's why he's going to push for what?
00:16:52.660 Totally secular education,
00:16:54.600 totally secular public life
00:16:56.380 with conservatives like this who needs liberals.
00:16:59.300 And then what's his specific argument?
00:17:00.940 That's what he says.
00:17:01.420 Today, Oklahomans are being compelled to fund Catholicism
00:17:06.720 because of the legal precedent created by the board's actions.
00:17:10.260 Tomorrow, we may be forced to fund radical Muslim teachings
00:17:15.000 like Sharia law.
00:17:18.820 If we, as conservatives,
00:17:24.540 permit and encourage
00:17:26.360 public Christian-tinged education.
00:17:32.500 Next thing you know,
00:17:33.460 we're going to have Sharia law in Oklahoma.
00:17:35.380 Are you kidding me?
00:17:38.000 So absolutely pathetic.
00:17:40.120 There is a criticism sometimes of conservatives
00:17:42.320 that the only thing we can serve
00:17:43.880 is the liberal policies of five years ago.
00:17:47.260 This guy proves it.
00:17:49.080 This guy proves it.
00:17:52.180 The total separation of church and state,
00:17:54.760 the total secularization of society.
00:17:58.200 That's not a conservative policy.
00:18:01.940 That is a very, very liberal policy,
00:18:04.060 a very new liberal policy
00:18:05.420 that only begins to crop up
00:18:06.800 in the middle of the 20th century.
00:18:09.000 The notion that we can't have
00:18:10.880 taxpayer-funded religious instruction,
00:18:14.720 you know, Bible in schools.
00:18:16.400 We can't have that.
00:18:17.500 This is America.
00:18:18.260 That's an extremely liberal left-wing policy.
00:18:21.040 And you got this guy,
00:18:22.000 this Republican, Gertner Drummond,
00:18:26.500 arguing it as Mr. Rock-ribbed conservative.
00:18:29.360 Absolutely pathetic.
00:18:32.880 Now, what's his fear?
00:18:34.660 His fear is,
00:18:36.180 well, you know, look,
00:18:37.260 the moment,
00:18:37.820 maybe Catholicism's fine.
00:18:40.160 But how are we to make a distinction
00:18:41.960 between Catholicism and Islam?
00:18:44.000 I don't know.
00:18:44.780 We did it pretty well
00:18:45.600 for the first 200 years
00:18:48.740 of our nation's history.
00:18:49.720 How can we tell the difference
00:18:51.860 between traditional Catholic education
00:18:53.860 and Sharia law?
00:18:55.000 I don't know,
00:18:55.620 because we're not complete idiots
00:18:56.720 and we have faculties of reason
00:18:58.860 and discernment and judgment.
00:19:00.640 How about that?
00:19:01.460 We're not just complete dummies
00:19:03.620 and we can tell the difference
00:19:05.160 between one thing
00:19:06.180 and the thing that is very different
00:19:07.680 from that first thing?
00:19:09.720 Are you kidding me?
00:19:11.420 Listen, if the Attorney General of Oklahoma
00:19:13.160 can't tell the difference
00:19:13.900 between a traditional Christian education,
00:19:15.840 which has been the backbone of America
00:19:17.240 when we've been successful,
00:19:18.180 the backbone of our whole civilization,
00:19:19.140 and Sharia law,
00:19:21.020 then resign,
00:19:22.080 because you clearly
00:19:22.740 don't know anything.
00:19:24.480 No, no, but his fear is,
00:19:25.580 no, no, maybe I,
00:19:26.600 I can tell the difference,
00:19:28.660 but, you know,
00:19:30.200 we can't make these kinds
00:19:31.600 of distinctions in public life.
00:19:33.200 If we fund a Christian display somewhere,
00:19:37.120 well, we're going to have to fund
00:19:38.300 the satanic display
00:19:40.200 that we saw in that state capital
00:19:42.020 about two or three months ago.
00:19:44.300 Yeah, no, we don't.
00:19:45.540 We don't, actually.
00:19:47.520 We have had public Christian displays
00:19:49.720 for all of American history,
00:19:52.020 and for most of American history,
00:19:55.000 we have not tolerated satanic displays,
00:19:57.520 and we've had a nice policy
00:19:58.980 of religious toleration,
00:20:00.440 and it has come up organically
00:20:02.980 through the culture
00:20:05.440 and the traditions
00:20:06.400 from our country,
00:20:07.820 which was founded
00:20:08.380 by extremely zealous Christians
00:20:09.980 of varying sects
00:20:11.580 and denominations,
00:20:12.400 and it's worked out just fine.
00:20:14.660 And we don't need to be so obtuse
00:20:17.000 as this attorney general
00:20:18.800 in Oklahoma is being,
00:20:20.560 and we can acknowledge
00:20:21.480 that we can make distinctions
00:20:22.820 between these things,
00:20:23.800 and we don't need to just cede
00:20:25.820 the entire educational apparatus
00:20:28.040 to the libs
00:20:28.740 to make some dumb hypothetical point
00:20:32.080 about Sharia law in Oklahoma.
00:20:34.440 Well, to stop this hypothetical problem
00:20:36.880 that is almost certainly
00:20:37.960 never going to happen
00:20:38.640 in Oklahoma of all places,
00:20:40.160 we're going to cede
00:20:41.120 the entire educational ground.
00:20:42.300 By the way,
00:20:42.920 the educational sector
00:20:44.680 is one of the most important
00:20:46.760 aspects of a society
00:20:47.780 because it crafts
00:20:49.040 the future of your society
00:20:50.200 for generations.
00:20:51.180 Yeah, we're going to cede
00:20:51.740 that whole thing
00:20:52.300 to the atheists
00:20:53.340 and the secularists
00:20:54.420 and the liberals
00:20:55.040 because I'm afraid
00:20:57.340 that Mohammed bin Salman
00:20:59.600 is going to invade Oklahoma
00:21:00.860 and implement Sharia law
00:21:02.080 with conservatives like this.
00:21:06.080 Who needs liberals?
00:21:07.320 There's so much more to say.

00:22:20.480 Speaking of schools,
00:22:22.600 an Illinois high school
00:22:23.760 has just decided
00:22:25.720 to create
00:22:27.220 gender-neutral bathrooms.
00:22:28.420 We all know
00:22:28.780 about gender-neutral bathrooms.
00:22:30.280 You might see them
00:22:30.720 in your workplace.
00:22:31.420 You might see them
00:22:32.080 in a college
00:22:33.220 or a university.
00:22:34.560 Now we're starting
00:22:36.100 to see them
00:22:36.500 in high schools.
00:22:37.520 This clip comes to us
00:22:38.440 by way of our friends
00:22:39.080 over at Libs of TikTok.
00:22:40.340 This is a clip
00:22:41.060 from Edwardsville High School
00:22:42.760 debating the policy.
00:22:46.060 A passionate debate
00:22:47.700 over millions of dollars
00:22:49.200 going toward building
00:22:50.260 new gender-neutral bathrooms
00:22:52.520 at Edwardsville High School.
00:22:54.740 Some parents and others
00:22:55.980 upset over this idea.
00:22:58.760 Who watches the watchers?
00:23:00.400 But using our tax money,
00:23:02.880 money that I earned
00:23:04.160 to do something I oppose,
00:23:06.560 is just so wrong.
00:23:07.860 Shouldn't even be
00:23:08.580 a consideration.
00:23:10.280 It's wasting
00:23:11.340 the public's time.
00:23:12.900 Thank you.
00:23:14.320 But others,
00:23:15.500 including a current
00:23:16.260 transgender student,
00:23:17.760 argue the opposition
00:23:18.880 is fear-mongering
00:23:20.340 and that these bathrooms
00:23:21.660 are safe.
00:23:23.220 From my experience
00:23:24.100 as a transgender man,
00:23:25.440 I rarely have ever felt
00:23:26.500 safe in a public restroom.
00:23:27.800 This is an excellent
00:23:28.700 opportunity to validate them,
00:23:30.400 as they are,
00:23:31.600 to make education
00:23:32.600 a safe space for them.
00:23:34.080 I commend the board
00:23:34.920 on moving forward with this.
00:23:35.900 I encourage you to do so
00:23:37.040 and I thank you for your time.
00:23:38.460 Take a look at your screen.
00:23:39.860 These are renderings
00:23:41.040 of the common area bathrooms
00:23:43.020 boys and girls
00:23:44.180 would share at Edwardsville High
00:23:45.820 featuring private,
00:23:47.280 fully enclosed stalls
00:23:48.700 for each student.
00:23:50.220 Okay.
00:23:52.040 Put aside for a second
00:23:53.520 what we know
00:23:54.500 about the implementation
00:23:55.700 of transgender bathrooms,
00:23:57.880 the really dark stuff.
00:23:58.860 like the Loudoun County story,
00:24:01.860 which the Daily Wire broke,
00:24:03.340 which helped to get
00:24:04.060 Glenn Youngkin elected
00:24:05.040 governor of Virginia,
00:24:06.580 where in the name
00:24:08.460 of pro-trans policies,
00:24:11.380 the school allowed men
00:24:12.980 to go into the women's bathroom
00:24:13.980 and a girl got raped there.
00:24:15.240 And then,
00:24:15.940 because they didn't want it
00:24:16.620 to become a big news story,
00:24:17.580 the superintendent
00:24:18.240 just moved the kid
00:24:19.580 to a different school.
00:24:20.540 Guess what?
00:24:20.920 He did it again.
00:24:21.500 put aside
00:24:23.960 the really
00:24:25.240 evil
00:24:26.400 and dangerous
00:24:27.840 effects
00:24:29.180 of this policy
00:24:30.120 that we have already seen.
00:24:32.100 The political effects
00:24:33.240 of which we've already seen,
00:24:34.120 namely the election
00:24:34.720 of a Republican
00:24:35.240 in pretty blue Virginia.
00:24:38.360 Just take yourself
00:24:39.320 back to high school.
00:24:41.120 You're back in high school,
00:24:43.040 hormones
00:24:43.680 coming out of your pores,
00:24:46.320 you know,
00:24:47.040 looking for an opportunity
00:24:49.340 to go steal away
00:24:51.160 for a little bit
00:24:51.720 during the day
00:24:52.260 with your honey.
00:24:55.580 And then you find out
00:24:56.780 that you're now,
00:24:59.100 you and your girlfriend
00:25:01.020 or you and your boyfriend
00:25:02.000 can just like
00:25:03.480 hightail it into the bathroom
00:25:04.960 in between classes.
00:25:06.620 And do you think
00:25:07.280 that's going to,
00:25:07.680 do you think it's going
00:25:08.120 to turn out well
00:25:08.620 is all I'm asking.
00:25:09.660 I'm not saying
00:25:10.280 that every kid
00:25:10.900 is going to,
00:25:11.300 but do you think
00:25:13.340 just using your common sense
00:25:14.820 that taking kids
00:25:17.080 who are the most brimming
00:25:19.840 with hormones,
00:25:22.040 probably the least able
00:25:23.740 to control their lusts
00:25:25.740 and attractions
00:25:26.260 to the opposite sex
00:25:27.120 that they will ever be
00:25:27.760 in their entire lives.
00:25:29.000 Do you think giving them
00:25:30.320 a private area
00:25:32.600 in which people
00:25:34.300 are regularly undressing
00:25:35.900 where there are no cameras,
00:25:37.340 where there's no prying eyes
00:25:38.660 of the security guards
00:25:39.420 or the teachers
00:25:39.840 or the counselors
00:25:40.280 to just go
00:25:41.120 and like kind of
00:25:41.880 just steal away
00:25:42.620 for a little bit.
00:25:43.240 Do you think
00:25:43.480 that's a good idea?
00:25:45.260 I would say probably,
00:25:46.540 and this is my own experience
00:25:48.180 of high school
00:25:49.100 and just remembering,
00:25:50.560 just kind of knowing
00:25:51.200 how boys and girls
00:25:51.880 interact with each other,
00:25:52.680 that would seem
00:25:52.980 like a bad idea to me.
00:25:55.900 Every sober-minded person
00:25:59.460 forever would have recognized
00:26:02.740 that that's probably
00:26:03.460 not the wisest idea.
00:26:05.220 So why are we promoting
00:26:06.360 this now?
00:26:07.660 The only way
00:26:08.380 that one could come
00:26:08.980 to the conclusion
00:26:09.500 that it's a good idea
00:26:10.420 to let boys and girls
00:26:12.780 go off privately
00:26:13.680 in school
00:26:14.320 in a shared space
00:26:15.560 without any supervision
00:26:16.340 now is because
00:26:18.740 we have systematically
00:26:20.020 denied
00:26:20.820 common-sense basic facts
00:26:24.140 about human nature
00:26:25.100 for so many decades now.
00:26:27.180 The whole reason
00:26:28.040 that this is a political issue now
00:26:29.560 is because we've got to pretend
00:26:30.980 that a boy can become a girl,
00:26:32.160 which everyone knows
00:26:32.960 isn't true.
00:26:33.980 When the girl gets up there
00:26:35.540 and speaks at the school board meeting
00:26:37.360 and says,
00:26:38.320 you know,
00:26:38.740 as a trans man,
00:26:40.900 I just don't feel safe.
00:26:42.600 And you pity the girl
00:26:43.760 because she's so confused
00:26:44.640 and she's been totally failed
00:26:45.820 by her family
00:26:47.060 and by her community.
00:26:49.140 You want to tell her,
00:26:49.980 no, girl,
00:26:50.600 your problem is not that
00:26:51.940 they're not letting you
00:26:52.760 into the opposite bathroom.
00:26:53.780 Your problem is that
00:26:54.800 you're living totally
00:26:56.460 out of accord with reality
00:26:57.680 and you're pursuing
00:27:00.620 your delusions
00:27:02.400 and they're being affirmed
00:27:03.180 by people around you.
00:27:03.960 No one thinks that
00:27:04.680 that girl is being set up
00:27:06.500 to flourish
00:27:07.000 or that guy.
00:27:08.620 They need to be affirmed
00:27:09.500 as who they are.
00:27:10.160 The whole point of education
00:27:11.060 is to help you
00:27:12.960 to better see the truth
00:27:14.220 and to make sense
00:27:15.080 of your freedom
00:27:15.680 and to live in accord
00:27:17.100 with reality
00:27:17.580 and to flourish.
00:27:19.040 And this guy is saying,
00:27:20.700 well,
00:27:21.080 really for education,
00:27:22.120 we just need to make sure
00:27:23.360 that these people
00:27:23.920 are allowed to live
00:27:24.480 in fantasy land
00:27:25.360 ever more so
00:27:26.240 every single day.
00:27:27.100 That's the opposite
00:27:27.820 of education.
00:27:28.560 That's called maleducation.
00:27:29.980 That's just the first part.
00:27:31.160 Then we have to deny
00:27:32.180 that sometimes
00:27:33.600 teenagers get up
00:27:34.600 to bad stuff.
00:27:35.460 That when boys and girls
00:27:36.480 as teenagers
00:27:37.260 get close to each other
00:27:38.560 and there's no supervision,
00:27:40.100 sometimes, you know,
00:27:41.300 they get a little frisky.
00:27:42.460 We have to deny
00:27:43.240 all of these things
00:27:45.020 because those facts
00:27:46.160 are not politically correct
00:27:47.460 or they're deemed offensive
00:27:48.620 to some people
00:27:49.420 or they just don't
00:27:51.040 accord with
00:27:52.600 the liberal utopian vision.
00:27:54.100 So the consequence
00:27:55.920 is going to be
00:27:56.560 now we're not even
00:27:58.260 going to be able
00:27:58.860 to conserve
00:27:59.460 the men and women's
00:28:01.000 bathroom in high schools.
00:28:02.960 In high schools.
00:28:03.920 And then I guarantee you,
00:28:05.040 you're going to see
00:28:05.420 squish Republicans
00:28:06.240 10 years from now
00:28:07.800 who they're going to sound
00:28:09.460 like the Attorney General
00:28:10.540 of Oklahoma.
00:28:11.200 They're going to say,
00:28:11.600 hey, wait a second.
00:28:13.340 Can you believe
00:28:14.100 these radical
00:28:15.120 Leninist
00:28:16.540 leftists
00:28:18.780 are trying to take away
00:28:19.860 our transgender bathrooms?
00:28:21.060 They're trying to
00:28:23.440 create a new series
00:28:24.600 of transhuman bathrooms.
00:28:25.840 Listen, I'm a conservative.
00:28:26.900 I want my good old-fashioned
00:28:27.740 transgender bathrooms.
00:28:30.220 I'm, you know,
00:28:31.020 I'm a conservative.
00:28:31.540 I'm a right winger.
00:28:32.300 Uh-huh.
00:28:32.780 Really, really pathetic.
00:28:34.420 If we don't,
00:28:37.880 without fear,
00:28:39.420 with some courage,
00:28:40.580 articulate eternal truths,
00:28:42.460 we're sunk.
00:28:44.100 We're not going to
00:28:44.800 conserve anything.
00:28:45.940 Might as well get
00:28:47.020 those sweltering summer nights

00:29:19.060 moving on from the

00:29:23.240 ambitions of the left,
00:29:24.580 so focused on it
00:29:25.420 they forget about
00:29:25.900 human nature.
00:29:27.580 We got to stick
00:29:28.400 on the weird trans stuff
00:29:29.200 for a second
00:29:29.640 because Democrat
00:29:31.080 political strategists
00:29:32.280 are recognizing
00:29:33.020 that this issue,
00:29:34.060 specifically Biden's
00:29:35.980 exaltation
00:29:37.720 of the trans day
00:29:39.160 of visibility
00:29:39.640 on Easter Sunday
00:29:40.440 is a bad look
00:29:42.160 and it doesn't play well
00:29:44.040 in Peoria
00:29:44.540 and this is already
00:29:45.260 going to be a close election
00:29:46.120 most voters
00:29:47.520 don't like this stuff.
00:29:48.880 Here is veteran
00:29:50.000 Democrat strategist
00:29:51.280 James Carver.
00:29:51.980 James Carver
00:29:52.500 from Louisiana.
00:29:53.720 Economy stupid.
00:29:54.680 Come on, man.
00:29:55.220 You know,
00:29:55.560 that guy
00:29:56.260 trying
00:29:57.360 to
00:29:58.820 defend Biden
00:30:00.620 as best he can
00:30:01.880 and to
00:30:02.940 position the Democrats
00:30:04.240 as the party
00:30:04.720 of common sense.
00:30:05.560 Let's see if he succeeds.
00:30:06.600 Well,
00:30:08.380 I honestly think
00:30:09.040 it's profoundly stupid.
00:30:10.820 As if Biden
00:30:11.520 even knew it
00:30:12.160 was transgender
00:30:12.960 awareness.
00:30:13.820 By the way,
00:30:14.300 Biden goes to
00:30:14.880 Mass and Communion
00:30:15.520 every week,
00:30:16.100 as you well know.
00:30:17.200 You couldn't find
00:30:17.940 Trump in the inside
00:30:18.800 of a church anywhere.
00:30:19.880 I really think
00:30:21.140 this is utterly absurd.
00:30:23.140 I don't think
00:30:23.620 anybody in the White House
00:30:24.660 was aware of this.
00:30:26.280 As you point out,
00:30:27.200 it's a constant day.
00:30:28.740 It's on March 31st.
00:30:29.740 I don't know
00:30:30.320 anywhere in Trump's Bible
00:30:31.440 where Jesus tells me
00:30:33.000 to hate trans people
00:30:34.020 or gay people,
00:30:35.340 any other people.
00:30:36.600 Okay,
00:30:37.000 that was a lot.
00:30:37.920 That was a lot
00:30:38.560 of spaghetti at the wall
00:30:39.460 kind of defense.
00:30:40.240 But what does it
00:30:40.660 boil down to?
00:30:41.720 The defense
00:30:43.320 that the legendary
00:30:44.940 Democrat strategist
00:30:46.180 is mounting
00:30:46.660 for Joe Biden
00:30:47.580 calling Easter Sunday
00:30:49.740 trans day of visibility
00:30:51.100 is one,
00:30:52.220 Joe Biden's a vegetable
00:30:53.180 and he has no idea
00:30:54.020 what his administration
00:30:54.660 is doing.
00:30:55.300 He didn't know
00:30:55.880 it was trans visibility day.
00:30:57.660 He doesn't know anything.
00:30:58.580 He doesn't know
00:30:58.860 what his name is.
00:31:00.740 You can't blame Joe Biden.
00:31:02.100 He doesn't know.
00:31:02.780 He probably didn't
00:31:03.380 wake up on Sunday.
00:31:05.940 That's one.
00:31:07.140 Number two,
00:31:08.960 he Trump's bad.
00:31:11.400 That's it,
00:31:12.040 basically.
00:31:12.560 He says,
00:31:12.960 Biden goes to mass
00:31:14.860 every Sunday
00:31:15.320 and receives communion.
00:31:16.120 He should not receive communion
00:31:17.140 because he's in a persistent
00:31:18.280 state of grave mortal sin
00:31:19.780 because,
00:31:21.060 among other things,
00:31:22.340 of his scandalous
00:31:23.460 public support
00:31:24.180 for infanticide,
00:31:25.440 which is a non-negotiable
00:31:26.860 political issue
00:31:27.620 for the Holy Catholic Church.
00:31:29.600 Among other issues,
00:31:31.220 that would be one of them.
00:31:32.180 So Carville says,
00:31:34.120 you know,
00:31:34.340 this is evidence
00:31:35.000 that he's a practicing
00:31:36.320 and pious and devout Catholic.
00:31:38.040 Quite the opposite.
00:31:39.000 It's quite scandalous.
00:31:39.680 And he was just rebuked
00:31:40.500 by his own cardinal,
00:31:41.820 a liberal cardinal,
00:31:43.060 Wilton Cardinal Gregory,
00:31:44.380 for this,
00:31:45.120 for ignoring important aspects
00:31:46.960 of Catholic teaching.
00:31:50.120 Don't forget,
00:31:50.960 the Catholic faith
00:31:51.540 is not like a lot of religions,
00:31:53.100 which are kind of more
00:31:54.260 individual focused
00:31:55.880 and you do you
00:31:57.220 and follow your conscience.
00:31:58.460 Always let your conscience
00:31:59.200 be your guide.
00:32:00.580 Obviously,
00:32:01.000 there's a role for conscience,
00:32:01.980 but the Catholic faith
00:32:03.140 is dogmatic,
00:32:05.040 hierarchical.
00:32:05.980 There are priests
00:32:06.600 and bishops
00:32:07.100 and a pope.
00:32:07.880 There is authority here
00:32:09.020 and the authorities
00:32:10.160 are saying,
00:32:11.120 hey, Joe Biden,
00:32:12.080 you need to repent.
00:32:13.580 You are not doing this correctly,
00:32:14.880 but he ignores that.
00:32:15.900 It doesn't matter.
00:32:16.380 James Carville,
00:32:17.000 that point is totally lost on him.
00:32:18.580 He's a nid guy Donald Trump.
00:32:19.800 He's real bad.
00:32:20.640 He's a bad guy.
00:32:21.560 He's a bad guy.
00:32:22.640 Yeah, okay.
00:32:23.480 Wow.
00:32:24.740 Okay.
00:32:25.320 If that's your best defense,
00:32:27.520 then I feel pretty good
00:32:29.020 about Republicans' chances
00:32:30.260 in November.
00:32:30.960 I'm sure there are actually
00:32:32.840 some circumstances now
00:32:34.560 that are making me
00:32:35.420 feel a little less good,
00:32:36.420 but if it were
00:32:37.540 a totally fair election
00:32:38.740 and this were the debate,
00:32:41.220 this is the best
00:32:42.620 the Democrats have.
00:32:44.080 The president has no idea
00:32:45.300 what's going on
00:32:46.160 and Trump is a meanie.
00:32:48.560 Orange man is bad.
00:32:50.640 Wow.
00:32:51.400 They got nothing.
00:32:52.340 They got nothing
00:32:53.000 on any political issue
00:32:54.100 and they got no way
00:32:54.840 to defend their guy.
00:32:56.340 Meanwhile,
00:32:58.720 and then we'll move on
00:32:59.900 from Trans Day of Visibility
00:33:01.040 until the Democrats
00:33:01.980 announce it again next year.
00:33:03.540 Who knows?
00:33:03.920 Maybe they'll do it
00:33:04.740 on Christmas Day next year.
00:33:07.000 There was this priestess
00:33:08.300 who I don't know
00:33:10.720 what denomination
00:33:12.520 she purports
00:33:13.800 to be a pastoresse of,
00:33:15.680 but this priestess lady
00:33:17.000 was celebrating,
00:33:18.300 specifically from
00:33:18.880 a Christian perspective,
00:33:19.920 the Trans Day of Visibility.
00:33:21.600 Happy Transgender Day
00:33:23.380 of Visibility.
00:33:24.640 It is coming up.
00:33:25.640 this Sunday
00:33:26.900 and so for all
00:33:28.240 of my trans friends,
00:33:30.560 I am sending
00:33:31.440 so much love to you.
00:33:34.100 Everyone who is able
00:33:36.640 to be visible
00:33:38.200 as their most authentic self
00:33:41.160 and for those of you
00:33:42.900 for whom that's not
00:33:44.120 a possibility right now,
00:33:46.620 I want you to know
00:33:47.860 that at least in spirit,
00:33:49.500 I see you
00:33:50.380 and I'm cheering you on.
00:33:52.300 Please remember
00:33:53.100 that you are lovable
00:33:55.100 and you are loved.
00:33:57.420 Okay.
00:33:59.060 Forget about what she says
00:34:00.160 about the trans thing
00:34:00.980 for a second.
00:34:01.860 I really don't even mention this
00:34:03.460 to harp on the trans issue
00:34:04.920 that no one can cease
00:34:05.800 from talking about
00:34:06.480 for the last decade.
00:34:08.580 I want to talk about
00:34:09.620 the collar.
00:34:11.460 I don't want to even talk
00:34:12.680 about what she says.
00:34:13.460 I want to talk about
00:34:14.280 who she is
00:34:15.160 and how she dresses.
00:34:16.520 This woman is not a priest
00:34:17.900 because women can't be priests
00:34:20.200 and she's certainly
00:34:22.900 not a Catholic priest
00:34:23.800 though she's dressed up
00:34:24.580 like one
00:34:25.080 and she's put the collar on
00:34:26.400 with the pseudo-Cassock,
00:34:29.720 you know,
00:34:30.240 the Cassock dress kind of.
00:34:33.180 Why is she doing that?
00:34:34.880 Why is she doing that?
00:34:35.540 She's a liberal.
00:34:37.680 Her religious views,
00:34:39.100 in as much as I can
00:34:40.100 understand them at all,
00:34:41.760 seem to be
00:34:42.480 some kind of weird Gnosticism
00:34:43.960 that says that your body
00:34:45.920 has nothing to do
00:34:46.640 with your true self
00:34:47.500 and this is a heresy
00:34:48.480 that's cropped up
00:34:49.060 many times in history.
00:34:50.820 Okay,
00:34:51.240 a lot of people
00:34:51.720 have believed it
00:34:52.360 but why pretend
00:34:53.980 to be a priest?
00:34:55.500 When Cardinal Gregory
00:34:56.340 was on CBS yesterday,
00:34:57.600 we played that clip
00:34:58.220 on the show
00:34:58.720 and there was that
00:34:59.860 bishopress lady,
00:35:01.840 this priestess
00:35:02.560 pretending to be a prelate
00:35:03.600 with the collar in it.
00:35:05.200 Why?
00:35:06.640 Why?
00:35:07.080 If you're going to be
00:35:07.840 a liberal
00:35:08.240 and you're going to
00:35:09.020 articulate a Gnostic,
00:35:10.860 modern,
00:35:12.000 liberal view
00:35:12.620 of human nature,
00:35:13.960 why not just be that?
00:35:15.800 Why not dress up
00:35:16.480 in that uniform?
00:35:18.120 Which I guess
00:35:18.540 that uniform is what?
00:35:19.740 Like ripped jeans
00:35:20.520 and purple colored hair
00:35:21.500 or something?
00:35:22.380 Why not?
00:35:23.360 Why do you have to pretend
00:35:24.500 to be a thing
00:35:26.560 that is totally contrary
00:35:28.680 to the views
00:35:29.500 that you are articulating?
00:35:31.340 There's an answer to it.
00:35:33.400 Authority.
00:35:34.760 They need some authority.
00:35:36.500 Every political movement
00:35:38.060 needs authority.
00:35:40.380 Because otherwise,
00:35:42.460 to quote the Big Lebowski,
00:35:43.960 you know,
00:35:44.220 that's just kind of like
00:35:45.280 your opinion, man.
00:35:47.020 So you need to ground
00:35:48.960 any political movement
00:35:50.160 in authority.
00:35:52.400 And for these libs,
00:35:54.420 they want to steal
00:35:55.580 the authority of Christianity.
00:35:57.020 They recognize that
00:35:58.420 there is a power
00:35:59.400 to the church.
00:36:00.440 The church,
00:36:01.120 whether you love the church
00:36:01.720 or hate the church,
00:36:02.340 it's the only institution
00:36:03.540 from antiquity
00:36:04.220 that still exists.
00:36:05.600 And that remains strong
00:36:06.880 for all the scandals
00:36:08.160 and all the problems.
00:36:09.120 It actually remains
00:36:09.960 very strong.
00:36:10.600 How is that?
00:36:12.600 I don't know.
00:36:13.440 There's something to it.
00:36:15.240 Love her or hate her.
00:36:16.460 As Chesterton pointed out,
00:36:19.000 it can't just be nothing.
00:36:20.820 It can't just be mid.
00:36:22.140 You know?
00:36:22.520 It's either got to be
00:36:23.300 really, really good
00:36:24.100 or really, really bad.
00:36:25.120 But it's remarkable.
00:36:28.480 And the libs know that.
00:36:29.620 And so they try to steal
00:36:30.740 that authority
00:36:31.400 a little bit.
00:36:32.080 I think very unpersuasively.
00:36:35.380 I don't think that lady
00:36:36.120 is fooling anyone.
00:36:37.860 She could even put on
00:36:38.820 a bishop's hat.
00:36:39.680 You know?
00:36:39.860 I don't think,
00:36:40.320 I still don't.
00:36:40.920 She could dress up like the Pope.
00:36:41.820 I don't think anyone's
00:36:42.500 going to buy it
00:36:42.940 for one second.
00:36:45.220 But the fact that they have
00:36:46.580 to play dress up like this,
00:36:48.860 the fact that they have to,
00:36:50.440 you know,
00:36:50.960 even beyond religion,
00:36:52.100 that they wrap themselves
00:36:53.500 in the flag,
00:36:54.360 that they have the aesthetics
00:36:56.880 of a kind of tradition,
00:36:58.700 the tone of a kind of tradition,
00:37:00.040 even as they try
00:37:00.620 to undermine that,
00:37:01.300 it tells you a lot
00:37:02.660 about where they know
00:37:04.600 that the people are
00:37:05.700 and what they know
00:37:06.720 that people want to follow.
00:37:09.140 You know,
00:37:09.340 the Daily Wire
00:37:09.860 decided to give
00:37:11.860 my friend Matt Walsh
00:37:12.880 a robe,
00:37:14.120 a gavel,
00:37:15.000 and an all-new series.
00:37:16.260 Introducing
00:37:16.700 Judged
00:37:18.200 by Matt Walsh
00:37:19.320 on Daily Wire Plus.
00:37:20.860 I have been
00:37:21.560 as excited for this series
00:37:23.440 as I have been
00:37:24.660 for any new series.
00:37:26.580 This has been in the works
00:37:27.660 for quite a long time.
00:37:28.540 We've all kept
00:37:28.920 our mouths shut about it.
00:37:30.200 Matt Walsh,
00:37:31.300 as a judge,
00:37:32.940 is as hilarious
00:37:33.820 as you would imagine.
00:37:35.500 Shockingly,
00:37:35.960 the cases are real.
00:37:37.000 The people you see are real.
00:37:38.120 And yes,
00:37:38.440 his decisions
00:37:38.940 are legally binding.
00:37:40.140 I'm not joking.
00:37:40.940 Take a look
00:37:41.460 at the official trailer
00:37:42.320 for the new
00:37:43.140 Daily Wire Plus series,
00:37:44.180 Judged
00:37:44.740 by Matt Walsh
00:37:46.060 now.
00:37:46.740 All rise
00:37:51.580 for the Honorable Judge Walsh.
00:37:52.900 Please be seated.
00:37:57.280 Ms. Goldstein,
00:38:01.920 Mr. Bentley,
00:38:02.680 Mr. Outerbridge,
00:38:03.780 Mr. Spicer,
00:38:04.340 Mr. Barney,
00:38:05.280 Mr. Singh.
00:38:06.460 At 30,000 feet,
00:38:07.640 my lips exploded.
00:38:08.800 Why would I pay rent
00:38:09.560 to somebody
00:38:10.020 who had sex
00:38:10.640 with my sister?
00:38:11.360 A dog bit my finger.
00:38:12.400 He's allergic
00:38:12.980 like the grass.
00:38:14.000 If he didn't want me
00:38:14.540 to drop the car,
00:38:15.120 he would have took
00:38:15.480 the key.
00:38:15.820 I had it with him.
00:38:16.320 Has anyone told you
00:38:19.400 you're the worst
00:38:19.900 negotiator
00:38:20.600 that's ever lived?
00:38:21.360 I've never been
00:38:21.880 more annoyed
00:38:22.380 than I am
00:38:22.740 in this moment.
00:38:31.420 Not even close.
00:38:32.940 That does it.
00:38:33.900 Please get the hell
00:38:34.440 out of my courtroom.
00:38:42.880 Wait until you see
00:38:44.260 real petty court
00:38:46.840 in action
00:38:47.520 where anything
00:38:48.400 that you say
00:38:49.280 to Judge Walsh
00:38:50.200 can and certainly
00:38:51.280 will be held
00:38:52.640 against you.
00:38:53.960 Be the first
00:38:54.400 to see judged

00:39:07.580 My favorite comment
00:39:08.740 yesterday is from
00:39:09.180 Boston Man 645
00:39:10.120 who says,
00:39:11.760 the just war theory
00:39:12.620 is only applied
00:39:13.560 to Israel.
00:39:14.260 Which actual war
00:39:15.460 followed it ever?
00:39:16.740 The Iraq war?
00:39:17.420 This is a nonsensical
00:39:18.300 argument of isolationists.
00:39:20.480 No, it's not.
00:39:22.200 Actually,
00:39:23.120 just war theory
00:39:24.280 is ethics
00:39:26.620 applied to military action
00:39:28.200 that has existed
00:39:29.680 since antiquity
00:39:31.200 everywhere
00:39:32.400 with different shades
00:39:34.160 and different flavors
00:39:34.820 and some disagreements
00:39:35.600 about it,
00:39:36.040 but everywhere,
00:39:36.940 all over the whole world.
00:39:39.180 India,
00:39:40.600 Asia,
00:39:40.920 East Asia,
00:39:43.240 North Africa,
00:39:44.500 Egypt,
00:39:45.340 obviously in our own
00:39:46.460 civilization,
00:39:48.000 begins really with
00:39:48.780 Aristotle,
00:39:50.440 Cicero contributes
00:39:51.280 to it,
00:39:51.900 St. Augustine,
00:39:52.820 St. Thomas Aquinas,
00:39:53.760 many, many thinkers
00:39:55.140 into modernity.
00:39:56.580 It's the notion
00:39:57.460 that
00:39:58.000 the moral order
00:40:00.980 imposes some rules
00:40:02.820 for,
00:40:03.600 well,
00:40:03.940 rules for everything,
00:40:04.680 and that doesn't
00:40:05.920 exclude war.
00:40:07.660 In fact,
00:40:08.040 it especially
00:40:08.640 pertains to war.
00:40:11.020 Just war theory
00:40:12.140 is opposed
00:40:13.700 to two errors
00:40:14.960 when it comes to war.
00:40:16.580 The one error
00:40:17.480 being pacifism,
00:40:18.880 the notion that
00:40:19.400 war is always bad,
00:40:20.520 man,
00:40:20.860 give peace a chance,
00:40:21.860 all war is evil.
00:40:22.700 That's not true.
00:40:24.500 That's not morally serious.
00:40:26.460 You don't have
00:40:27.160 a moral obligation
00:40:27.860 to let the cruel
00:40:28.520 rape the earth.
00:40:29.320 You have a right
00:40:29.800 to defend yourself,
00:40:30.860 and other rights,
00:40:33.520 actually,
00:40:34.180 when it comes to war.
00:40:35.240 So pacifism is fake.
00:40:36.480 But then on the other end,
00:40:37.460 there's an extreme
00:40:38.540 kind of chauvinism
00:40:39.420 or nationalism,
00:40:40.500 which says that
00:40:41.480 you can do whatever
00:40:42.300 you want for your country,
00:40:43.420 and you're not really
00:40:44.020 bound by the moral order
00:40:44.960 at all,
00:40:45.440 and you can commit
00:40:46.060 atrocities,
00:40:46.980 and you can do
00:40:47.960 whatever you like,
00:40:48.620 and it doesn't matter
00:40:49.380 as long as you pursue
00:40:50.100 your own national interest.
00:40:51.060 That is also wrong
00:40:52.300 and immoral,
00:40:53.400 and no serious statesman
00:40:55.200 has ever believed it.
00:40:57.240 Some have pursued it,
00:40:58.620 but no one could really,
00:40:59.940 who has any use
00:41:01.600 of his reason,
00:41:02.220 could really believe that.
00:41:03.820 So there are some rules
00:41:05.120 that derive from
00:41:05.780 the moral order,
00:41:06.720 which all serious people
00:41:07.980 recognize,
00:41:09.120 and that does not just
00:41:09.720 pertain to one nation
00:41:10.720 or a couple of nations.
00:41:12.380 It pertains to all of them.
00:41:14.740 That's just how it is, man.
00:41:17.240 Now, speaking of political authority
00:41:21.500 and grounding political authority
00:41:23.780 in religion,
00:41:25.760 President Trump
00:41:26.620 coming out swinging
00:41:28.440 to win up all those
00:41:30.980 Christian votes,
00:41:32.500 the Libs have spent,
00:41:33.440 what,
00:41:34.000 three years now
00:41:34.840 talking about the rise
00:41:35.720 of Christian nationalism.
00:41:38.240 The Christian fascists
00:41:40.580 are trying to reimpose
00:41:42.760 the golden rule in politics.
00:41:44.740 It's a terrible,
00:41:45.880 scary thing.
00:41:47.120 Trump tweets out,
00:41:48.140 or Truth Social's out,
00:41:50.040 Election Day,
00:41:51.720 November 5th,
00:41:52.360 will be the most important day
00:41:53.760 in the history of our country.
00:41:55.200 It will also be
00:41:56.240 Christian Visibility Day,
00:41:57.620 the biggest turnout
00:41:58.800 of Christians
00:41:59.420 in the history of our country,
00:42:01.160 DonaldJTrump.com.
00:42:02.100 I love this.
00:42:03.240 Trump, he's really good
00:42:04.100 at painting pictures.
00:42:04.820 He's really good
00:42:05.380 at drawing contrasts.
00:42:08.180 Biden stands
00:42:09.200 for Trans Visibility Day.
00:42:11.660 Biden disses Christians
00:42:13.260 on the holiest day
00:42:13.980 in the Christian
00:42:14.380 liturgical calendar.
00:42:15.760 Biden's going to celebrate
00:42:16.700 this false anthropology
00:42:19.100 that says boys
00:42:19.700 can become girls.
00:42:21.420 He's the trans visibility candidate.
00:42:23.380 Well, you know what?
00:42:23.940 Trump's going to be
00:42:24.420 the Christian visibility candidate.
00:42:27.620 And so what he's really saying
00:42:28.880 is if you're a Christian,
00:42:30.260 you got to vote for Trump.
00:42:33.040 Like when Biden says,
00:42:34.160 if you're black
00:42:34.620 and you're not voting for me,
00:42:35.540 you ain't black.
00:42:36.700 Trump is, I think,
00:42:38.060 implying here,
00:42:39.180 if you're a Christian,
00:42:39.860 you're not voting for me,
00:42:40.600 maybe you ain't Christian.
00:42:42.480 This is,
00:42:42.940 I'm the one
00:42:43.880 who is protecting
00:42:44.640 the view of Christians
00:42:46.680 and the Christian spirit
00:42:50.220 that has animated our country
00:42:51.480 for a very long time.
00:42:52.720 And I think he's right.
00:42:54.000 I mean,
00:42:54.160 getting back to
00:42:54.940 the non-negotiable
00:42:57.160 political issues
00:42:57.960 for the faith,
00:42:58.640 if any political issue
00:43:00.060 is non-negotiable,
00:43:01.060 it would be the right to life.
00:43:03.700 Any conception of rights
00:43:04.880 you can come up with,
00:43:05.560 certainly the one
00:43:06.080 that's articulated
00:43:06.620 in our Declaration of Independence,
00:43:08.900 requires a defense
00:43:10.040 of life.
00:43:12.020 Even Thomas Jefferson writes,
00:43:13.580 we hold these truths
00:43:14.080 to be self-evident
00:43:14.640 that all men are created equal,
00:43:15.500 they're endowed by their creator
00:43:16.160 with certain unalienable rights
00:43:17.360 among these life, liberty,
00:43:18.360 and the pursuit of happiness.
00:43:19.220 happiness.
00:43:20.640 Well,
00:43:21.440 there's an order to those.
00:43:23.720 You wouldn't say
00:43:24.460 the pursuit of happiness
00:43:25.180 is the most important,
00:43:26.120 followed by liberty,
00:43:26.820 followed by life.
00:43:27.500 That would be nonsensical
00:43:28.520 because if you don't have life,
00:43:30.320 if you're deprived
00:43:30.920 of your right to life,
00:43:31.600 then you can't have liberty
00:43:32.360 or happiness.
00:43:35.060 You wouldn't say
00:43:36.340 the pursuit of happiness
00:43:37.120 comes before liberty
00:43:38.440 because without liberty
00:43:39.240 you can't pursue happiness.
00:43:40.820 So it's in that order
00:43:41.640 for a reason.
00:43:42.440 Life comes first,
00:43:44.260 then liberty,
00:43:45.740 then the pursuit of happiness.
00:43:47.040 And that's just one perspective
00:43:49.420 on natural rights
00:43:51.460 and natural law.
00:43:52.260 That's the Jefferson
00:43:53.140 Declaration perspective.
00:43:56.080 Many, many others.
00:43:57.540 It's a non-negotiable.
00:43:59.520 To quote St. John Paul II,
00:44:01.320 the right to life
00:44:02.180 is not just one right among many,
00:44:03.460 but it's the fundamental right,
00:44:04.640 the prerequisite life
00:44:05.780 on which all the other rights rely.
00:44:09.340 You got to protect it.
00:44:10.940 Biden doesn't.
00:44:12.540 Biden thinks you ought to be able
00:44:13.460 to kill your kid at any point
00:44:14.680 and you ought to,
00:44:16.400 at least any point
00:44:17.320 until he's born
00:44:18.540 or maybe slightly
00:44:19.780 after he's born
00:44:20.580 and that you ought to be able
00:44:21.940 to buy kids and sell kids
00:44:23.160 and throw kids in freezers forever.
00:44:24.440 That's his view.
00:44:25.360 That's his publicly articulated view.
00:44:28.100 And Trump says,
00:44:29.160 nah.
00:44:30.200 Trump's a little bit
00:44:31.280 ambiguous right now
00:44:33.540 on the issue of IVF.
00:44:34.880 It's a novel issue.
00:44:36.700 One hopes he receives good advice.
00:44:39.120 Certainly when it comes
00:44:40.200 to the issue of abortion,
00:44:41.560 he's the most pro-life president ever
00:44:43.140 and he's the guy
00:44:43.680 who got Roe v. Wade overruled.
00:44:44.800 And he's the first president
00:44:45.560 to address the March for Life.
00:44:47.960 And elections are binary choices
00:44:49.240 and this is not a complex one
00:44:50.940 for Christians.
00:44:53.120 He's saying that his win
00:44:54.860 is a win for Christians.
00:44:57.300 And all politics
00:44:58.360 is fundamentally theological
00:45:00.080 and Trump is embracing that.
00:45:02.600 And he might be
00:45:03.200 a thrice-married,
00:45:03.880 lapsed Presbyterian
00:45:04.780 and all sorts of politicians
00:45:06.220 have problems,
00:45:07.240 but you can insult him
00:45:08.880 and attack him
00:45:09.400 any way you want.
00:45:10.260 The facts are the facts.
00:45:11.200 If you want your country
00:45:13.580 to go trans and lib
00:45:14.780 and Gnostic,
00:45:15.420 vote for Biden.
00:45:16.280 If you want your country
00:45:17.080 to maintain
00:45:17.860 and one hopes restore
00:45:19.540 even some of its
00:45:21.160 Christian identity,
00:45:21.980 vote for Trump.
00:45:22.640 Simple as.
00:45:23.400 Very, very true.
00:45:24.840 Now,
00:45:26.300 I mentioned earlier,
00:45:27.180 Trump has nine lives.
00:45:28.360 I don't know why.
00:45:28.900 That's also a kind of
00:45:30.380 crazy religious feud.
00:45:31.420 I mean, what is that?
00:45:31.920 Karma?
00:45:32.900 Reincarnation?
00:45:33.520 Whatever it is, though,
00:45:34.660 the clearest evidence
00:45:35.840 for it ever
00:45:36.480 is Donald Trump
00:45:37.760 just keeps surviving
00:45:40.460 just when the Libs
00:45:41.780 think they've got him.
00:45:42.660 He just somehow survives.
00:45:45.740 Right before
00:45:46.620 the New York Attorney General
00:45:47.960 Letitia James
00:45:48.820 was licking her lips
00:45:50.700 to steal some of
00:45:51.700 Trump's buildings,
00:45:53.280 he posts the
00:45:54.420 $175 million bond
00:45:57.420 to prevent New York
00:45:58.980 from seizing his assets.
00:46:02.600 Nine lives,
00:46:03.600 90 lives,
00:46:04.340 900 lives.
00:46:05.260 We were going through
00:46:05.940 on the show
00:46:06.380 all the different
00:46:07.280 maneuvers
00:46:08.080 that he might try
00:46:09.020 to make
00:46:09.460 because they're
00:46:10.440 prosecuting him.
00:46:12.020 Prosecutions haven't
00:46:12.740 really worked so far
00:46:13.680 or looked up
00:46:14.700 for the liberals.
00:46:15.900 So then they go after him
00:46:17.080 in civil judgments
00:46:17.900 and then they
00:46:19.460 fine him for
00:46:20.420 $350 million
00:46:21.440 some odd dollars
00:46:22.180 but then he can't
00:46:22.920 pay it right away
00:46:23.420 because no one has
00:46:23.920 that kind of cash
00:46:24.460 lying around,
00:46:24.920 not even Elon Musk.
00:46:26.060 So they add
00:46:26.860 all these crazy fines,
00:46:28.620 get it up to over
00:46:29.380 $450 million.
00:46:31.540 Then it looks like
00:46:33.180 they got him
00:46:33.800 and a judge
00:46:34.820 reduces that.
00:46:36.400 But still it's going
00:46:37.200 to be tough
00:46:37.500 to come up with
00:46:37.980 that money.
00:46:38.500 Well, what do you know
00:46:39.320 just as this is happening
00:46:40.580 Trump's eccentric
00:46:42.960 social media platform
00:46:44.060 goes public
00:46:45.160 and his net worth
00:46:46.360 increases by $3 billion
00:46:47.260 in one day.
00:46:48.200 What, where is the,
00:46:49.260 I mean just,
00:46:49.880 we're talking about
00:46:50.920 unprecedented historic stuff
00:46:54.080 and a mark
00:46:56.760 of coincidence,
00:46:57.820 some might call it
00:46:58.560 providence,
00:46:59.100 that seems to me
00:47:00.800 unmistakable
00:47:01.600 and he's done it again.
00:47:02.960 He gets to keep
00:47:03.540 his buildings,
00:47:04.580 he lives to see
00:47:05.240 another day
00:47:05.860 and to fight out
00:47:06.900 the election.
00:47:08.080 Still,
00:47:09.500 the Democrats
00:47:10.420 are contending
00:47:11.180 it is obvious,
00:47:12.560 it's obvious
00:47:13.360 that Joe Biden's
00:47:14.840 going to win.
00:47:15.280 Here is Mrs. Biden.
00:47:18.120 How is the campaign
00:47:19.180 going before the pro?
00:47:19.940 Oh my gosh,
00:47:20.620 it's going great.
00:47:21.620 I have been traveling
00:47:22.640 every day that I'm not
00:47:24.120 in the classroom.
00:47:25.400 People are excited
00:47:26.800 and I really feel like,
00:47:29.340 you know,
00:47:29.620 people know the choice
00:47:30.640 this election.
00:47:31.500 They can choose chaos
00:47:32.640 or they can choose,
00:47:33.940 you know,
00:47:34.820 steady wisdom experience.
00:47:37.480 There's not a part of you
00:47:38.340 that's a little worried
00:47:39.420 because they seem to be
00:47:40.460 off kilter a little bit.
00:47:41.600 No, I feel that Joe
00:47:42.460 will be re-elected.
00:47:43.360 But when these polls
00:47:44.120 like the Wall Street Journal
00:47:45.040 one land in the White House
00:47:46.100 and he's losing
00:47:46.880 in all the battleground states.
00:47:48.160 No, he's not losing
00:47:49.120 in all the battleground states.
00:47:50.280 He's coming up
00:47:51.200 and he's even
00:47:53.200 or doing better.
00:47:54.680 So, you know what?
00:47:55.360 Once people start
00:47:56.980 to focus in
00:47:57.880 and they see
00:47:58.480 their two choices,
00:47:59.820 it's obvious
00:48:01.320 that Joe will win
00:48:02.600 this election.
00:48:03.420 All right.
00:48:03.880 Okay, obviously
00:48:04.660 she's going to defend
00:48:05.460 her husband.
00:48:06.520 That's her job.
00:48:07.500 It's appropriate
00:48:07.900 for her to do that.
00:48:09.000 But is that all
00:48:09.620 we're seeing here?
00:48:10.840 Is this just a woman
00:48:12.220 defending her husband
00:48:13.580 or is Joe Biden
00:48:15.720 genuinely comfortable,
00:48:18.300 confident,
00:48:18.960 relaxed
00:48:19.380 that Joe is going to win?
00:48:21.740 Are the Democrats,
00:48:22.280 take Joe Biden out of it,
00:48:23.180 are the Democrats
00:48:24.040 comfortable,
00:48:25.360 confident,
00:48:25.960 relaxed
00:48:26.340 that Joe Biden
00:48:27.100 is going to win?
00:48:29.040 Right now,
00:48:29.800 some of the Democrats
00:48:30.440 look a little nervous,
00:48:32.140 but they seem
00:48:33.160 a lot less freaked out
00:48:34.300 than they should be,
00:48:35.460 which makes me ask,
00:48:36.980 do they know something
00:48:37.920 that we don't know?
00:48:39.620 I saw some numbers
00:48:40.260 come out yesterday.
00:48:42.380 Democrats are
00:48:43.340 registering voters
00:48:44.880 in swing states
00:48:46.440 in extremely high numbers.
00:48:48.760 Some were suggesting
00:48:49.600 that maybe these numbers
00:48:50.540 were anomalous
00:48:51.440 and evidence
00:48:52.700 of some kind of fraud.
00:48:54.760 A lot of these
00:48:55.500 voter registrations
00:48:56.640 were done
00:48:57.140 without proof of ID,
00:48:58.860 were done in ways
00:48:59.960 that seemed
00:49:00.360 a little bit dubious.
00:49:01.740 But people ought
00:49:03.820 to look into that
00:49:04.460 whether it's fraudulent
00:49:05.300 or not.
00:49:07.500 If the Democrats
00:49:08.500 are registering,
00:49:09.580 registering,
00:49:10.100 registering,
00:49:10.880 flooding the country
00:49:11.580 with foreigners,
00:49:12.900 maybe those are
00:49:13.440 related issues,
00:49:14.060 maybe they're
00:49:14.360 separate issues.
00:49:14.880 if they are
00:49:15.640 just turning out
00:49:17.580 votes,
00:49:18.860 if they are
00:49:19.340 getting their hands
00:49:20.180 on ballots,
00:49:21.240 if they are
00:49:21.920 doing the mechanics
00:49:25.400 that will immediately
00:49:26.720 matter at the ballot box
00:49:28.820 to decide the election,
00:49:30.860 then maybe they don't
00:49:31.500 need to win the debates.
00:49:32.760 Maybe they don't need
00:49:33.560 to poll very high.
00:49:35.420 Maybe they don't need
00:49:36.460 to convince people
00:49:38.660 that Biden's economy
00:49:39.580 or border
00:49:40.420 or foreign policy
00:49:41.620 is good.
00:49:42.780 because what matters
00:49:45.580 is election day.
00:49:48.220 What matters is
00:49:49.360 who counts the votes.
00:49:52.080 And if the Democrats
00:49:54.500 right now
00:49:55.060 are being sincere
00:49:57.000 when they say
00:49:57.620 it is obvious
00:49:58.440 that Joe Biden's
00:49:59.100 going to win,
00:49:59.660 if they really mean that,
00:50:01.560 then the only explanation
00:50:03.800 is that they have
00:50:05.740 a trick up their sleeve
00:50:07.000 because if it were
00:50:08.300 a fair fight today,
00:50:09.760 there is not a chance
00:50:11.960 that Joe Biden
00:50:12.520 would win.
