Also, like so much of the Trump movement, the ad reveals a profound truth about politics.
00:00:52.440
This ad is a highlight reel of President Joe Biden's soaring oratory and rhetoric.
00:01:09.980
America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.
00:01:14.560
I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping.
00:01:19.600
She knows so long as I see it, at night, our freedom can never be secure.
00:01:35.160
It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who register to vote and cast a ballot is consistently
00:01:40.380
higher than the percentage of the men who do so.
00:01:58.560
It's a funny ad, and it's going viral because everyone knows it's funny.
00:02:02.620
What people fail to appreciate consciously, though, is how profound it is.
00:02:08.580
I'm not being gratuitously complimentary to the ad.
00:02:15.780
The whole Trump movement reveals these profound truths about our political order, and because
00:02:23.600
The fact that makes this ad so brutal is that politics requires one skill, talking.
00:02:43.320
If you're a politician, all you need to be able to do is talk.
00:02:48.700
You just need to persuade people, and Joe Biden can't do that anymore.
00:02:53.380
He can't do the most basic job requirement, and Trump can do it extremely well.
00:03:03.240
That's why he gets more laughs than stand-up comedians, including with this ad, which is
00:03:08.100
a perfect representation of the Trump movement.
00:03:10.400
Funny, nasty, superficially kind of dumb, ultimately incisive.
00:03:37.560
There's a horrific story that you've probably seen something about.
00:03:41.260
This happened a few days ago, and I really want to get to it before the week closes out.
00:03:45.540
A woman has murdered a poor little three-year-old boy and then smirked about it in court, and
00:03:51.480
it's making the rounds, but it reveals real questions.
00:03:56.000
It brings up real questions about our justice system, which we're all talking about these

00:04:30.240
Speaking of soaring rhetoric, before I get to the other less linguistic political issues,
00:04:37.300
Pope Francis has reportedly used the word faggotry again in the Italian, not in the English,
00:04:44.320
The word is frociagine, but translated, I guess the best English translation of that
00:04:52.400
is the word faggotry, which is probably going to be bleeped on social media platforms, but
00:04:59.980
According to reports, the Holy Father has said, there is an air of frociagine in the Vatican.
00:05:08.060
This was during a closed-door meeting with roughly 200 priests at the Silesian Pontifical
00:05:12.980
University in Rome, according to Italy's ANSA news agency.
00:05:17.440
So the Holy Father has gotten in trouble for saying this because just a few weeks ago,
00:05:22.540
he said this word for the first time, according to reports.
00:05:26.640
He said, while he was discouraging homosexual seminarians, he said, there's already too much
00:05:38.060
And then there was a big uproar from the LGBT LMNOP community because this is Pride Month,
00:05:43.820
one of the LGBT months of the secular liturgical year.
00:05:48.140
And so there was an official statement from the Vatican apologizing for the Holy Father
00:05:54.580
He says, there's an air of frociagine in the Vatican, at which, show me the lie.
00:06:01.820
In fact, it reminds me of a line from Pope Paul VI, St. Paul VI, I suppose, who was Pope
00:06:10.460
during the close of the Second Vatican Council.
00:06:13.920
He said, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God.
00:06:20.540
There's corruption in all sorts of ages in the Vatican.
00:06:24.660
But he said, here we've seen through some crack, the smoke of Satan has entered the Vatican.
00:06:29.420
And now Pope Francis gives us an updated version some 50 years later, where he says,
00:06:37.740
It shows you a little less poetic language, but that's true of all of our rhetoric these
00:06:46.620
Putting aside for a moment what this means for the Vatican or for the Catholic Church,
00:06:54.520
What is wrong with frociagine, that even the Holy Father, who many have viewed as being
00:07:03.000
Pope Francis has just written the foreword for a book by probably the most prominently
00:07:06.940
pro-LGBT priest, a Jesuit by the name of Father James Martin.
00:07:12.220
Why would even the Holy Father keep using this term?
00:07:16.920
Well, the thing that's wrong with it is that it's decadent and it's self-indulgent.
00:07:23.560
And it's kind of like the difference between being feminine and being effeminate.
00:07:29.600
When a woman acts like a woman, she's feminine.
00:07:38.040
Effeminate has a bad connotation because men aren't supposed to act like women.
00:07:45.720
And when things are disordered, that has political effects.
00:07:53.480
It has effects, but it has effects on the body politic too.
00:07:58.740
I was going back through Dante, as I frequently do.
00:08:01.860
And I was just last night listening to a lecture about the circle of the sodomites.
00:08:07.500
Because famously, Dante puts his own teacher, Brunetto Latini, into the circle of the sodomites.
00:08:12.980
It's really weird because there's no source outside of Dante's poem that suggests that his teacher was Little Light in the Loafers.
00:08:23.940
Maybe Dante knows something about his teacher that the public didn't know.
00:08:26.880
But it seems like he's talking about something more here.
00:08:30.260
And what he's talking about is that his teacher, Brunetto Latini, seeks eternal life, but not the real kind of eternal life, through faith, in heaven, to behold the beatific vision, to enjoy God forever.
00:08:50.480
He seeks eternal life through his poetry and his books that he publishes and fame.
00:08:55.060
And he seeks, he gives up the eternal for the merely political, for the merely human.
00:09:08.820
And that's especially a problem when we're talking about the church.
00:09:12.240
So when Pope Francis says the church has too much frotia gine in it, we got to get rid of some of the frotia gine.
00:09:17.280
He's not just expressing a point of view that's kind of old-fashioned or bigoted or whatever.
00:09:22.840
He's getting down to something essential to frotia gine, and something essential to the church, which is the church is supposed to have its eyes on the order, the proper order of the universe.
00:09:38.280
And it's supposed to have its eyes beyond the world, beyond the trifles of this world, in the world to come.
00:09:48.800
And when we indulge in things that are decadent and, you know, whatever, when we indulge in pride, forget about the weird sex stuff even.
00:09:58.020
It's just excessive love of one's own excellence.
00:09:59.740
When you're just focused on yourself, then you're missing out on what you could become.
00:10:06.940
And when you focus on just the things of this world, when you're totally self-satisfied, you're missing out on the life of the world to come.
00:10:17.160
He's talking about something profound, but he's using funny words to do it.
00:10:26.460
On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.
00:10:54.040
The New York Post, the Washington Examiner, a ton of outlets have reported this.
00:10:58.780
Newly deciphered manuscript is oldest written record of Jesus's childhood.
00:11:10.320
A newly deciphered manuscript dating back more than 1600 years has been identified as the
00:11:14.000
earliest known account of Jesus Christ's childhood.
00:11:16.620
The manuscript, written on papyrus in either the fourth or fifth century, had been stored
00:11:20.480
at a library in Hamburg, Germany for decades and was long believed to be an insignificant
00:11:23.840
So, just reading the first line, I knew the whole story was bogus because they say, this
00:11:31.840
I said, well, actually, the earliest account of our Lord's childhood is the Gospel of St.
00:11:36.700
And the Gospel of St. Luke was written sometime around the year of our Lord, 60.
00:11:45.700
But within about 30 years of the crucifixion and the resurrection.
00:11:49.620
Even the Lib scholars who want to deny the reality of the Gospel accounts, even they will
00:11:56.340
say, yeah, the Gospel according to St. Luke was, let's say it was written in AD 80 or 90.
00:12:02.880
Really, if you read it in light of the book of Acts, it was much more likely written around
00:12:10.740
But regardless, okay, say it's 80 or 90, whatever.
00:12:13.300
That's still way earlier than this supposed manuscript.
00:12:16.500
So, what they're talking about, it gets even sillier.
00:12:20.600
They're talking about the infancy Gospel of Thomas.
00:12:22.500
This is a heretical Gnostic text that was written 100 years after the actual earliest
00:12:32.200
And maybe even long, maybe 100, you know, at least a century, maybe 150 years.
00:12:36.780
And it's a text that the early Christian writers, the church fathers, the bishops knew about.
00:12:41.860
And they reject it immediately as being heretical and apocryphal.
00:12:49.720
They write, a newly translated manuscript has now been confirmed to have been the oldest
00:12:59.360
It's not the earliest manuscript of our Lord's childhood.
00:13:08.840
I am just simply begging journalists to learn even like one thing about Christianity before
00:13:22.240
Do you remember, it was either the New York Times or the Washington Post, it was one of
00:13:24.920
those really, really mainstream establishment papers.
00:13:28.100
Some years ago, five or 10 years ago, wrote about the tomb where they believe, where Christians
00:13:35.900
supposedly believe, that Jesus Christ is buried.
00:13:44.420
I said, and this is, that this is the place where they believe that, where those crazy Christians
00:13:54.260
If you are a Christian, the most basic fact you believe is that our Lord is not buried or
00:13:59.740
entombed anywhere on earth because of the resurrection, the central fact of the gospels.
00:14:06.420
So they don't know it, that none of these people know anything about it, but they write
00:14:12.780
And it's going to, this happens every few years.
00:14:14.980
They discover some stupid, heretical, apocryphal, Gnostic texts that everyone knew was bogus
00:14:29.220
This month marks two years since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:14:32.080
Did you know the number of abortions have increased since then?
00:14:35.120
New estimates show that more than 1 million babies were killed by abortion in 2023, the
00:14:41.500
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has unfortunately made the abortion pill more readily available,
00:14:49.240
Preborn is the largest pro-life organization in the country.
00:14:51.720
They provide free ultrasounds to mothers with unplanned pregnancies to introduce them to the
00:14:57.060

00:15:06.960
Could be the difference between life and death.

00:15:31.100
One last religion story, because this is actually big news.
00:15:35.200
The Southern Baptists yesterday took a vote to condemn IVF.
00:15:44.780
I want to channel my inner Donald Trump when he was talking to Kanye West.
00:15:54.960
Shows a great deal of perspicacity and ready bioethical insight.
00:16:00.600
Politico reports the Southern Baptist Convention, this is the nation's largest and most politically
00:16:05.260
powerful Protestant denomination, voted to oppose in vitro fertilization.
00:16:09.240
The resolution was passed by 11,000 almost so-called messengers to the SBC.
00:16:17.460
They write that IVF, quote, most often participates in the destruction of embryonic human life.
00:16:23.380
They've called on Southern Baptists to adopt and, quote, only utilize reproductive technologies
00:16:27.660
that affirm the unconditional value and right to life of every human being.
00:16:33.860
Look, we're talking about Protestants, Protestantism, a religious movement that is founded on being
00:16:41.660
So, you know, still, this is, it's pretty binding for being non-binding.
00:16:45.920
It impels nearly 13 million Southern Baptists across 45,000 churches to condemn IVF.
00:16:56.420
Really good, because the problem with IVF is, as they mentioned, in practice, it almost always
00:17:02.500
results in the killing or perpetual freezing and eventual killing of a lot of babies.
00:17:09.120
In fact, more babies even than are born as a result of it.
00:17:13.620
There are other and deeper problems with IVF as well, which is that even if IVF didn't lead to
00:17:20.040
the mass killing of babies, as it does, what it does do is invert the natural order by insisting
00:17:30.280
that parents, that adults have a right to a child.
00:17:37.600
The only person who can be said legitimately to have rights in the process of procreation
00:17:42.160
is the child who has a right to his natural mother and father to be the product of the
00:17:46.520
specific conjugal act of his mother and father, mother and father bound together in marriage.
00:17:54.220
You don't get to claim a right to a child in part because a child is a person.
00:17:59.300
And this is one of the great evils of the IVF industry.
00:18:01.900
And you see this especially in the surrogacy industry, which is just a branch of the IVF
00:18:05.840
industry, which is that it treats children, human beings, as commodities to be bought and
00:18:11.920
sold in an open market, to not only to be bought and sold, to be created and bought and sold
00:18:21.840
And that is extraordinarily degrading and contrary to human dignity.
00:18:31.820
Until yesterday, the Protestant groups hadn't really weighed in.
00:18:35.840
And so Republican politicians now face a big problem because Republican politicians, up to
00:18:40.280
and including the Republican nominee for president, have come out recently in support of IVF.
00:18:47.780
I grant to Republicans that this is a bioethically complex issue that most people haven't given much
00:18:54.360
And so I grant if you run on we're going to get rid of IVF campaign in 2024, that might hurt you in
00:19:01.120
the polls and it's probably not politically prudent.
00:19:04.780
I just said if I were advising President Trump or any number of Republican politicians, I would say,
00:19:12.640
You don't need to campaign against it very actively, but recognize this is bioethically
00:19:20.140
It's contrary to the pro-life principles that you all say that you believe in.
00:19:26.080
It's going to take people some time to come to grips with the moral, really immoral realities
00:19:35.540
You're going to look foolish in the long run if you do that.
00:19:37.640
And the Southern Baptists 100% affirmed that view yesterday.
00:19:42.380
So back when it was just Catholics who opposed IVF, I guess the Republican politicians thought,
00:19:53.060
Half of them are liberal and kind of apostates.
00:20:01.720
Now, however, this completely changes the political calculation for Republican politicians
00:20:08.000
The largest and most powerful Protestant denomination in the country has unequivocally condemned the
00:20:21.300
13 million people are going to hear this from the pulpit now.
00:20:25.060
Republican politicians, you know, in this case, I really hate to say I told you so because
00:20:28.920
I think it was an unforced error from Republican politicians, maybe just play it cool on the
00:20:34.860
Not saying you need to give a lecture on the precise reasons that the practice is immoral
00:20:40.280
and contrary to human dignity, but certainly don't affirm it because now the Catholics and
00:20:46.240
the largest group of Protestants in the country very clearly say this is not morally acceptable.
00:20:52.840
Now, speaking of children, really disturbing story, most disturbing story of the past several
00:20:58.420
weeks, a woman, a woman, Bianca something or other, allegedly murdered a three-year-old boy and
00:21:10.160
And while, I mean, you just, I'm a father of a three-year-old child.
00:21:15.920
Whenever one can imagine oneself in a news story, to say nothing of the, you know, sadness
00:21:21.880
we feel for the actual people involved here, but it really brings it home.
00:21:25.380
This is about as horrific a crime as you could possibly imagine.
00:21:27.960
She gets dragged to court and she smirks while her crimes are being read to her.
00:21:31.740
She turns to the camera and raises her eyebrows and smirks in a way that looks demonic.
00:21:57.540
My name is Jared Wood, father of the deceased, husband of Margo.
00:22:04.620
Your Honor, that day, one week ago, she took everything from us.
00:22:09.740
There's nothing that could ever replace my son or anything that my wife and I, even our
00:22:23.200
Vaughn is set at $5 million, cash, surety, or property, GPS, no contact with any surviving
00:22:32.440
Okay, now, so your heart just breaks for this father.
00:22:35.720
The woman who allegedly, I guess I have to say allegedly, murdered this boy, she stops
00:22:41.500
smirking when she finds out that her bail is set at $5 million.
00:22:46.120
She called police in February and she said she murdered someone in California and wanted
00:22:52.160
She had, at that time, three warrants out for assault.
00:22:56.560
Then four days before she killed this little boy, allegedly, she was arrested.
00:23:05.460
They recommended a mental health check because she's obviously nuts.
00:23:08.080
She's facing severe psychological problems, if not spiritual problems.
00:23:12.160
And the judge just released her without a hearing.
00:23:20.360
A lot of people today, even conservative religious people, they say they oppose the death penalty.
00:23:24.900
What is society supposed to do with a person like this?
00:23:27.000
We'll get to that question of justice in just a second.
00:23:33.140

00:24:18.280
My favorite comment yesterday is from Tony Tunes, 9301, who says,
00:24:23.200
We've been very clear is the White House spokes ladies' way of saying um.
00:24:36.780
You know you are about to hear the most ambiguous, prevaricating, vague statement you've ever heard in your lifetime.
00:24:45.980
To finish up the question of this horrific crime,
00:24:48.340
what is society to do with the people who commit the most horrific crimes?
00:24:56.180
Punish the innocent people, lock up the innocent people, and let the guiltiest people run roughshod over the country.
00:25:01.740
They've got a complete inversion of the order of justice.
00:25:05.320
But the conservatives, too, very often go squishy on this.
00:25:14.280
So let's turn to someone who knows what he's talking about.
00:25:17.400
That would be St. Thomas Aquinas, who is right.
00:25:21.140
You want to know what to eat for breakfast on Tuesday.
00:25:27.220
Aquinas writes, According to the judgment of the present life,
00:25:31.040
the death punishment is inflicted not for every mortal sin,
00:25:35.020
but only for such as inflict an irreparable harm,
00:25:37.460
or again for such as contain some horrible deformity.
00:25:41.640
Aquinas is writing that it is permissible to kill a criminal
00:25:44.280
if this is necessary for the welfare of the whole community.
00:25:47.580
So now some people argue, even Catholics will say,
00:25:54.460
But, of course, St. Paul defends the death penalty.
00:25:56.400
The great doctors of the church have defended the death penalty consistently for 2,000 years.
00:26:00.780
In fact, popes who are beatified have carried out the death penalty.
00:26:04.060
So, you know, obviously there's a place for the death penalty.
00:26:06.460
But Thomas Aquinas here says that punishment is like medicine.
00:26:14.420
Medicine for the whole community, for the common good.
00:26:18.420
Medicine one hopes in some way to give some consolation to the victims.
00:26:29.260
This woman, it would seem, if this woman will not be held in prison forever,
00:26:34.980
assuming she can't be rehabilitated, probably she can't.
00:26:39.000
If she can't be held in prison forever, then in order to protect society from her,
00:26:44.160
and in order even to protect her from doing worse,
00:26:50.740
That's, otherwise, and there's always going to be imperfections in the justice system,
00:27:01.480
The fact that we go so soft on crime, the fact that that judge who saw her four days
00:27:05.980
before she inflicted this crime wouldn't do his job.
00:27:10.200
Now a three-year-old boy is gone, and the family will never get over it.
00:27:14.660
I mean, you know, time heals wounds to some degree, but you never, it's never the same.
00:27:21.740
That's a grave injustice, and it's unjust to her.
00:27:24.780
It's a reminder of an old line from Dr. Johnson.
00:27:28.780
Depend upon it, sir, when a man is to be hanged in a fortnight, he concentrates his mind wonderfully.
00:27:32.280
That there is actually, not just a retributive aspect to capital punishment,
00:27:36.040
and not even just a deterrent aspect to capital punishment,
00:27:38.920
but there is a rehabilitative aspect to capital punishment.
00:27:41.360
The great Fr. George Rutler has written a good essay on this in Crisis Magazine.
00:27:51.960
You might have forgotten that Father's Day is around the corner.
00:27:54.680
And as such, you might have no idea what to get him.

What do we do, especially when you want to talk about protecting kids,
00:28:21.200
when no one seems to be doing that, and everyone seems to be targeting kids these days?
00:28:24.860
We here at The Daily Wire are very excited to partner up with Angel Studios.
00:28:29.700
So The Daily Wire is getting involved in our first theatrical release.
00:28:34.500
This is with Angel Studios, which definitely knows a thing or two about theatrical releases.
00:28:39.280
You probably saw their excellent movie, Sound of Freedom.
00:28:42.340
They have a new movie, very different kind of movie, but on similar themes.
00:28:49.160
It's an extraordinarily striking and impressive movie.
00:28:52.240
This is not a movie to watch on a phone or, you know, a TV.
00:28:57.220
For the first time, you are going to want to watch this movie in the theaters.
00:29:02.600
You can go get tickets right now, angel.com slash Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L.
00:29:06.760
Don't spell it like people at the coffee shops.
00:29:17.100
It's hard to feel like I'm the only one who sees these things.
00:29:27.480
70% of the kids in the system are there because of neglect.
00:30:03.240
If we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable, then what do we have?
00:30:28.960
What's happening with Possum Trot could mean a huge change for the system.
00:31:28.920
You know, I get screeners of movies pretty regularly.
00:31:33.560
And so sometimes I get the movie on, but then I'll be doing work or something on the side.
00:31:37.160
And then, but this movie was really frustrating because I'm just trying to get my work done, you know.
00:31:42.500
Then I put the work aside and I'm watching the movie.
00:31:47.620
And I'm excited, too, that we're partnering up with Angel Studios to get this movie into theaters.
00:31:52.220
Because I believe the way that you really affect a culture and a political order is not just through glittering screens.
00:32:00.520
I'm coming to you right now through a screen or through your AirPods or whatever you're listening to.
00:32:11.400
And it's not enough to just watch a little movie on a screen in your pod.
00:32:14.940
It's good to go out with other people in a theater, enjoy things socially.
00:32:19.540
This is part of the reason that I have a cigar company called Mayflower Cigars is, well, and I like cigars and they're excellent cigars.
00:32:25.920
But two, because it encourages social activity.
00:32:34.740
And it's part, and you get your whole body into it, okay?
00:32:38.020
That's how you win back a culture and reshape standards and norms.
00:32:41.980
And so it's very important that we start getting into theaters.
00:32:45.960
It's a great honor and privilege to partner with Angel.
00:32:53.420
Speaking of hope and entertaining spectacles, one last story before we get to the mailbag.
00:32:59.200
This is over in the UK, this conservative figure, Nigel Farage.
00:33:06.740
He's a great, charming, cigar-chomping, right-wing character.
00:33:13.660
But he was a European parliament figure, right?
00:33:17.900
He says, we're going to pull out of this stupid body.
00:33:23.100
Well, now he's got a party that's running in the UK elections to take over.
00:33:29.460
The old conservative party in the UK is really, really squishy.
00:33:32.280
They're probably to the left of our Democrats here in America.
00:33:34.820
And he says, people want a choice, not an echo.
00:33:37.020
So I'm going to run, it's called the Reform UK Party.
00:33:42.800
Five seconds later, it is out-polling the conservatives, the Tories in the UK.
00:33:53.520
The Tory party, the modern UK conservative party, was formed in 1834.
00:34:00.500
They might be blown away by, I'm sorry, that's more than 150 years ago.
00:34:14.200
They could be blown away by Nigel Farage, this mouthy British cigar-chomping politician, in a matter of weeks.
00:34:35.520
It's younger, actually, than the Tory party that could be blown away in this election.
00:34:44.480
And a new thing could come about, led by this new kind of conservative.
00:34:50.480
Nigel Farage, who's really an older kind of conservative.
00:34:52.800
Just as Trump is a new kind of conservative, who's really an older kind of conservative.
00:34:58.140
When the parties don't serve their base, they get blown away.
00:35:01.180
Nothing in this life that is temporal is eternal.
00:35:07.140
And the squishes in the Republican Party, who wanted to pretend that Trump was just a TV fad that would go away, that's not true.
00:35:14.820
Trump rose to the top of the party because he offered something to Republican voters who had been neglected by their own party for a very, very long time.
00:35:26.520
Both of them really are running on very similar issues, chief of which is immigration.
00:35:33.300
You don't like the Republican establishment or the Republican establishment's getting too solid and rigid.
00:35:47.760
You might be seeing the same thing here in America.
00:35:54.640
Do you remember when social media was all about staying connected to loved ones, catching up with old friends, and sharing laughs with the people you care about?
00:36:01.720
Today, social media feel more like navigating a maze of ads and irrelevant content just to find one meaningful post.
00:36:09.660
As a parent, watching these kids dive into the digital jungle is nuts.
00:36:14.240
As far as I'm concerned, I can't imagine letting your kid go on to some of these social networks.
00:36:18.600
There's one wrong click, and suddenly they're exposed to things their eyes should not be exposed to.
00:36:26.760

First, is there a chance that with time scientists will discover that the original translation
00:37:39.220
of the Bible was wrong and Jesus was not the Son?
00:37:42.400
Does the Catholic Church have a contingency plan for that?
00:37:49.740
With God's help, we are celebrating 10th wedding anniversary in August.
00:37:58.120
Is that a good decision to push my dream to move to the USA or I should give up and look
00:38:09.180
So the first one, is there a contingency plan held by the Catholic Church if the basic facts
00:38:20.420
St. Paul writes this, you know, if the resurrection didn't happen, then we're a bunch of idiots
00:38:26.160
So no, I'm quite confident, however, that despite the silly headlines from the New York
00:38:31.260
Post and the Washington Examiner, no, I don't think there's ever going to be, you know, some
00:38:36.460
fedora-wearing atheist saying, see, ha ha, we disproved it.
00:38:43.340
Second question, because it's a good question because it really gets to the apparent conflict
00:38:56.600
So a second question, should you come to America?
00:39:05.500
America is still the most powerful country in the world.
00:39:07.560
You can still do pretty much whatever you want here, but not, you can't do whatever you
00:39:12.820
So I reckon, if you'd asked me 10, 20 years ago, I'd say, oh, you're from overseas.
00:39:18.260
Go to check out LA or San Francisco or DC or whatever.
00:39:21.140
Now I would say, come check out Franklin, Tennessee.
00:39:25.520
That's where you're going to live your best life.
00:39:38.180
And your thoughts on women in the workplace was very challenging to me, but in a good way.
00:39:47.080
My husband and I are expecting our first baby in about a month.
00:39:50.780
And I just wanted to know if you have any parenting advice and especially first-time parenting advice.
00:39:58.700
My husband and I have a tradition of listening to the mailbag together every Friday.
00:40:08.740
And I'm glad to hear that my advice was challenging, but in a good way.
00:40:14.200
Because you might have just said, you know, if I said, look, women generally enjoy being mothers,
00:40:20.120
and they're probably not going to enjoy working for Mr. McGillicuddy at the widget factory all day
00:40:26.600
They'll probably prefer raising their own kids.
00:40:29.400
And to hear you say, well, yeah, initially I didn't want to hear that.
00:40:34.100
But it was challenging in a good way in that I came to agree with you and quit my job because I realized I did agree with you.
00:40:42.420
Saying, no, I've been told my whole life by my, you know, feminist teacher or aunt or something that I have to have a job
00:40:48.620
and it's the most important thing in the world.
00:40:54.500
But for most people, that probably is what they want.
00:40:59.300
And our culture is so deceptive because they tell you you're not allowed to desire that.
00:41:04.980
You're not allowed to desire what you naturally desire.
00:41:07.280
So the parenting advice for your first kid, just enjoy it.
00:41:14.840
Keep up, you know, I know I'll get in trouble for this.
00:41:20.660
Maybe your husband washes some dishes every once in a while.
00:41:23.200
Well, maybe you change a light bulb every once in a while.
00:41:26.700
I'm not saying, these are not rigid rules because you're one flesh and what's really animating both of you is love.
00:41:32.440
It's not, you know, some, you know, rigid set of rules or something.
00:41:46.160
Here's a little bit of very tangible and practical advice.
00:41:48.860
There's an impulse that the man is going to feel to, when you're waking up 10 times a night to feed, that he's going to wake up and sit up with you for moral support.
00:42:01.560
The husband should not wake up with the wife when she's feeding the kid.
00:42:04.080
I mean, if she needs some help putting the kid back in the crib or whatever, sure.
00:42:06.440
But if it's just sitting up to say, I'm going to also be really tired with you.
00:42:10.560
No, because the husband's going to be tired in other ways.
00:42:12.160
Because especially if you quit your job, the husband's going to have to go out and he's going to have to work a lot more.
00:42:16.340
And when you just need that nap or you're going to die, he's going to be the one with the kids.
00:42:21.080
So don't think you both have to be doing the same thing at the same time.
00:42:26.540
The baby 90% of the time doesn't want to deal with his dada.
00:42:30.420
You know, he wants his mama and that's good and that's normal.
00:42:36.320
So for the dada, you know, make sure you are doing your role to the absolute best degree you possibly can.
00:42:57.380
So I recently watched the movie Tread, that documentary about that guy who built a homemade tank out of a dozer.
00:43:06.320
And, um, I guess just given that situation of what happened, you know, tread on them who tread on you.
00:43:15.360
I'm, I feel like we may have the same thing happen since Democrats have been poking the bear for so long.
00:43:22.760
Do you think it's too far to left field to think that this election, given the severity of it, very well could be something that causes conservatives to snap should Joe Biden steal the election again?
00:43:39.040
I'd love to hear your thoughts and, uh, appreciate all that you do.
00:43:44.480
Sounds more like, this is less a, a tread post and more of a fed post.
00:43:48.820
If you're, if you're asking me, you know, is it time to take up arms against the government?
00:43:53.100
I, I don't think it is, but to your point, could this election, if they, you know, imprison our leaders and if they upend our political order illegally and change the election rules, you know, so on and so forth, could this cause conservatives to snap?
00:44:10.960
Probably not is my answer, uh, without passing any judgment on that prediction.
00:44:17.800
I just think, no, I think it's going to take a lot.
00:44:22.140
Now, the fact that it doesn't take a lot to make the libs violent, the libs are extremely violent and they're celebrated for their violence, but conservatives don't really get violent very much.
00:44:32.060
The nearest thing that they pretend we were violent over was the January 6th insurrection.
00:44:37.820
And you'll remember the only person who died in the political violence of that day was one of the right wingers, not a left winger.
00:44:44.600
It's mostly just, you know, a horn hat guy being escorted through the Capitol by police and doing whatever he wants.
00:44:50.560
You know, kind of funny Florida man smiling for a picture with Nancy Pelosi's lectern.
00:44:57.160
The libs, on the other hand, are violent all the time.
00:45:00.040
And, you know, Antifa tries to kill me and other conservative speakers just for talking on college campuses.
00:45:05.000
And, I mean, Antifa threw an explosive at a wall because I was about to debate the question of transgenderism.
00:45:14.680
And, of course, there was BLM, which, you know, in which the leftists were encouraged to rape, kill, pillage, and burn, murder dozens of people for eight months coast to coast.
00:45:27.760
And it's good that we're not eager for civil war because civil war involves shooting your cousins, and I don't really want to do that.
00:45:44.440
He's writing in the context of a civil war that has led him to be exiled from Florence.
00:45:56.700
Sometimes, you know, I think we're too quick to raise the prospect of civil war.
00:46:01.920
But we don't really – I think we're actually a little rosy in Pollyanna about the fact that it actually can happen.
00:46:19.260
So currently, President Donald Trump is searching for a vice presidential running mate.
00:46:24.560
My question for you is, should he avoid candidates who are white, Asian, or Indian?
00:46:30.880
Now, I hate the fact that I even have to ask this question.
00:46:33.760
As you know, I famously despise racial politics.
00:46:36.900
I would be equally fine with a government consisting entirely of white people and a government consisting entirely of black people.
00:46:44.040
I would love to live under a triumvirate consisting of Byron Donalds, Ben Carson, and Alan West.
00:46:50.520
I think the only thing that matters when selecting our government is to search for individuals who love America and who believe in our founding principles as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
00:47:03.700
Unfortunately, a lot of Americans, including many Republican voters, disagree with me.
00:47:08.040
I'm active in Minnesota politics, and in the Minnesota GOP, a lot of people would like to see more women, more minorities and such involved in Republican politics.
00:47:22.360
This is not something that I think anyone should care about.
00:47:26.280
Given that, do you think that for strategic reasons, Donald Trump should avoid the so-called preferred races of white, Asian, and Indian when he is looking for a running mate?
00:47:45.480
You know, Byron and Ben Carson and Alan West or even Alan Keyes.
00:48:01.940
I think in as much as Trump is going to play identity politics, I think you should pick a white guy.
00:48:11.220
I think there are plenty of black candidates who would be great.
00:48:16.320
There are some Hispanic candidates I would be thrilled about and all other sorts of races and everything.
00:48:22.120
But so if he is going to play identity politics, I don't think tokenism plays very well on the right.
00:48:35.340
See, ha-ha, we're going to win you over, liberals.
00:48:37.840
You're not going to convince any liberals with that.
00:48:39.020
They're just going to call the black guy an Uncle Tom.
00:48:41.720
If you're going to play identity politics, say, hey, white people are discriminated against in all manner of hiring and college admissions today.
00:48:47.520
So, you know, I'm going to pick that white guy because, I don't know, like most people are white in America.
00:48:51.480
So if we're going to play the game, I guess, well, let me do that.
00:48:53.620
But I think probably that wouldn't have a major effect either.
00:49:00.640
Or you could just pick the guy that you think holistically is the best candidate.
00:49:03.980
But no reason to believe that playing left-wing racial identity politics is any better or more advantageous than playing any other kind of identity politics.
00:49:18.400
I need your help to identify the fake headline.
00:49:20.780
