Pope Francis coming out with a very important observation in Indonesia.
00:23:12.360
Your country has families with three, four, or five children
00:23:16.440
This is reflected in the age levels of the country.
00:23:32.800
for criticizing the caricature of a childless cat lady?
00:23:41.960
Not to be cruel to the people who want to have kids,
00:23:48.380
but were not able to get married for whatever reason.
00:23:50.540
Not people who like the companionship of a cat or something.
00:23:53.680
But for the people who choose animals over children.
00:24:01.520
Who don't want to involve themselves with people.
00:24:11.020
This echoes comments the Pope made earlier this year in Rome.
00:24:15.700
Homes are filled with objects and emptied of children.
00:24:30.040
Some people are called to a consecrated celibacy.
00:24:39.900
Or those who through circumstance are unable to have children.
00:24:48.380
Nevertheless, everyone is obligated to involve themselves with people.
00:25:12.280
We become most perfectly individuals in relation to other people.
00:25:25.080
And if you can't, or for whatever reason you're not called to,
00:25:27.900
you should endeavor to be a godfather or a godmother.
00:25:41.380
And it is the only way that the society can prevent its own death.
00:25:46.640
Now, speaking of good long lives, there's a new study out.
00:25:51.140
Showing that mental resilience is more important even than diet for living longer.
00:25:58.220
The seed oils, the trans fats, the carb, carbs, whatever.
00:26:06.660
Mental resilience is more important than any of that stuff.
00:26:13.820
Research from Sun Yat-sen University and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.
00:26:21.620
10,000 Americans, 50 and older, who participated in this study between 2006-2008.
00:26:28.760
Followed these individuals for an average of almost 12 years.
00:26:32.860
They found individuals in the highest quartile of resilience, of mental resilience,
00:26:38.060
had a 53% lower risk of death from any cause compared to those in the lowest quartile.
00:26:44.660
If you're tough, if you're not, if you don't have meltdowns all the time, if, you know,
00:26:50.460
minor inconveniences don't cause you to have, you know, a total despair, then you're much
00:26:56.960
Of course, this should be common sense, but I'm glad the science backs it up.
00:27:04.120
Do our schools, does our popular culture, does our society today train for mental resilience
00:27:11.340
or mental weakness, safe spaces, do safe spaces make you more mentally resilient or mentally
00:27:21.900
The hate speech laws, do they make us more mentally resilient or mentally weaker?
00:27:33.100
If you don't call a dude in a dress, she, you know, that he can bring you up with the DEI office
00:27:41.280
or HR and can, or I don't know, might even get physically violent with you and might be justified
00:27:48.520
Does that sort of thing make you more mentally resilient or mentally weaker?
00:27:53.120
Our whole society is training people to be less mentally resilient today.
00:27:59.180
And we are, we are being told that this is good for everyone's mental health, but the science
00:28:06.660
If you, the left always loves talking about, we need a conversation.
00:28:11.720
You know, we just, we don't focus enough on mental health.
00:28:16.320
We certainly don't focus enough on spiritual health, but mental health too.
00:28:20.620
That's why we need to affirm people in their transgender identity.
00:28:23.580
That's why we need to affirm people's inclinations and orientations and this and that.
00:28:32.160
Well, no, apparently that's bad for your mental health.
00:28:35.780
If you try to protect people from legitimate criticism, if you try to protect people from
00:28:39.840
reality, it seems like that harms their mental health, their overall health, and it will likely
00:28:59.660
Speaking of a lack of mental resilience, President Biden is back, I guess.
00:29:08.220
He just gave some kind of press conference, but he didn't answer any questions from the press.
00:29:17.200
May the president, what more than that would he be doing, sir?
00:29:28.780
He licks his finger to try to very slowly pick up a piece of paper, put it in a binder.
00:29:39.560
The handler's trying to push the press out like a bunch of cattle.
00:30:08.200
He's not even doing the usual Biden thing of kind of glad handing them or winking at them.
00:30:15.860
He's being let off stage, kind of very slow, stiff gait.
00:30:39.640
If it's Kamala, that's bad news for her because things are not going well in the country.
00:30:52.940
This is what happened at the end of the Soviet Union.
00:30:55.240
You had all these really old general secretaries of the Communist Party, the head of state in the Soviet Union.
00:31:02.540
And they were all like 1,000 years old, and they all die within 18 months.
00:31:06.360
And really, what was running the country was just this bureaucracy of communism.
00:31:13.080
And we win the Cold War, we destroy the Soviet Union, and then it looks like we've become what we destroyed.
00:31:20.500
Now, in Biden's absence, Kamala is looking for inspiration, it would appear, from the Republicans.
00:31:34.120
Kamala Harris proposes a small business tax break that House Republicans passed and Trump supported six years ago.
00:31:42.080
So we know that Kamala has already come out and stolen Trump's proposal to get rid of taxes on tips.
00:31:50.820
We know that Kamala has come out and stolen Trump's proposal to enhance the child tax credit.
00:32:04.000
Then Kamala says she likes it, too, and the media says it's a good idea.
00:32:14.040
Well, now we have this small business tax break.
00:32:20.680
I can't wait for Kamala Harris to endorse Project 2025.
00:32:25.620
When Kamala's just looking over Trump's shoulder.
00:32:29.020
But, you know, if he, I don't know, she gets her answers wrong.
00:32:31.960
She comes out after months of being told that Project 2025 is the super-duper evil mega Hitler 2.0 plan to destroy the whole world.
00:32:41.520
I, listen, I didn't fall out of a coconut tree, okay?
00:32:52.360
And the whole media are going to say Project 2025 is the greatest thing.
00:32:55.320
She, though, she's going to try to do one better than Trump.
00:33:02.040
And it's just got a little more Tabasco sauce in it.
00:33:07.000
Other than infanticide, the only novel, clear policies that the Kamala Harris campaign is promoting are policies she stole from Trump.
00:33:23.500
Maybe that explains why a supposed Republican like Liz Cheney has endorsed her.
00:33:29.640
Liz Cheney just gave some remarks at Duke University.
00:33:40.900
Liz Cheney said in 2020, Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns and health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal government.
00:33:48.360
She wants to recreate America in the image of what's happening on the streets of Portland and Seattle.
00:33:57.740
What is Liz Cheney saying about Kamala Harris now?
00:34:01.420
In one fell swoop here, he has put somebody on the ticket whose voting record in the Senate is to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
00:34:10.000
So I think that, you know, the American people are going to look at the substance of this.
00:34:13.720
They're going to look at what she stood for in the past.
00:34:15.860
They're going to look at what she said during the primary election.
00:34:22.440
She's somebody that has said we ought to spend $32 trillion on Medicare for all.
00:34:27.220
If you look at her record as well in California, she did, in fact, essentially ban gun sales with executive action.
00:34:35.620
And she threatened during the primaries to do the same thing if she's elected.
00:34:56.660
As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, I have thought deeply about this because of the danger that Donald Trump poses.
00:35:03.080
Not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.
00:35:22.300
The economy was better than it's been under Biden.
00:35:24.600
The world order was much stronger than it's been under Biden.
00:35:27.120
The invasion at our southern border was far less pronounced than it's been under Biden.
00:35:33.300
But Donald Trump has insulted Liz Cheney a lot.
00:35:38.100
And he's, I think, really exposed her to be the squish and the shield that she is.
00:35:49.340
And so for that reason, this principled conservative Liz Cheney, just like all those other principled conservative never Trumpers, is willing to support the most radically leftist presidential candidate probably ever, certainly major party presidential candidate ever, just to stick it to him.
00:36:07.160
Because of the principle of having wounded pride.
00:36:11.300
That's the principle of these never Trumpers, wounded pride and revenge.
00:36:15.900

Matt Walsh pulled off the troll of the century at the 2024 DNC.
00:36:55.080
Matt strolled through a sea of confused libs, handing out cards for Project2025.com.
00:37:01.880
Walsh actually got Don Lemon to promote Project2025.com on camera.
00:37:06.340
Imagine Don Lemon's face when he realized that he just gave free publicity to Matt Walsh's new movie, Am I Racist?
00:37:12.220
Speaking of which, Am I Racist hits theaters in eight days, September 13th.

My favorite comment, yesterday's from Nate Butler Music, says,
00:37:23.560
the windows are the windows to your home, says Michael Knowles.
00:37:34.200
So the Squish is, like Liz Cheney, they say, look, Kamala, I'm not saying she's perfect,
00:37:40.560
but she's the best option available for conservatives because of this unique threat posed by Trump.
00:37:47.520
Okay, so how is best option available conservatism going at the White House?
00:37:52.560
What does the White House make of recent elite colleges like MIT, Amherst, and Tufts
00:37:58.320
reporting sharp declines in Black and Latino enrollment and increases in white enrollment
00:38:03.940
since the affirmative action ruling from the Supreme Court?
00:38:06.600
Where the president and the Department of Education released guidance and resources to campuses
00:38:15.180
Obviously, this data suggested that that isn't necessarily working.
00:38:19.220
Does the White House believe there is more it can do to prevent this trend from happening
00:38:24.420
So, a couple of things, and this is really very important because we call that out,
00:38:29.520
that this could potentially happen when the Supreme Court made that decision.
00:38:33.820
Their decision moved the nation backwards, as you're laying out in what we're seeing right now,
00:38:40.080
in unpended decades of precedent that allowed America's colleges and universities
00:38:55.200
It's a terrible tragedy that white teenagers aren't being discriminated against
00:39:22.880
If we don't actively discriminate against white kids,
00:39:27.240
why America can never progress, that's progress?
00:39:34.060
The irony of this, too, is that while certain black and Hispanic people
00:39:40.120
probably did benefit professionally or as a matter of their finances from affirmative action,
00:39:47.160
and as white and Asian students were discriminated against
00:39:50.680
and were financially and professionally and, as a matter of education,
00:39:59.220
many black and Hispanic students were also harmed by these policies.
00:40:03.820
As the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia pointed out in writing on affirmative action,
00:40:09.980
there are all sorts of problems that go along with elevating students who would otherwise not be admitted into a university,
00:40:18.320
who are otherwise not qualified to go to a certain university.
00:40:24.220
But if a student is academically underperforms, but then gets an artificial boost to get him into a more difficult university,
00:40:40.360
He might take out student loans just to go to the school.
00:40:47.400
He's wasted a year, maybe two years of his life.
00:40:50.840
And then he goes to a college that he otherwise would be qualified for and does better there.
00:40:57.120
The other thing that could happen if students are artificially promoted into these colleges,
00:41:04.260
the only other thing that can happen is that the schools lower their academic standards
00:41:07.400
or they create a bunch of fake departments for the kids who can't hack it in real academic departments.
00:41:12.780
I'm thinking of the departments like gender studies and all those kind of studies departments.
00:41:18.340
So you either harm the kids you're intending to help,
00:41:22.880
you damage the university and the education of all the students,
00:41:26.740
and you certainly harm two races of kids who, through no fault of their own,
00:41:34.280
won't be able to go to the good college because their skin isn't the right color.
00:41:38.800
That's what the White House is really upset about.
00:41:40.860
That now, the discrimination is going to come to an end.
00:41:46.600
Any Republican, any principled conservative, any moderate,
00:41:52.420
even any center-left person who could vote for this disgusting, incompetent, radical,
00:42:04.240
the Biden-Harris administration has lost it or has been so blinded by a nasty ideology
00:42:14.640
that they're willing to put up with all manner of failure and injustice.
00:42:25.300
there's a bill that just passed out of the California State Assembly
00:42:29.520
that makes illegal aliens eligible for $150,000 in home loans.
00:42:40.840
It's often difficult to buy your first home, but it's especially difficult right now.
00:42:48.080
AB 1840 expands eligibility in the state's down payment assistance program
00:42:52.940
to illegal aliens, foreign nationals, illegally in this country.
00:43:05.420
My question is, why would Newsom not sign this?
00:43:12.420
Many Americans are feeling like foreign nationals who break our laws
00:43:15.480
are getting more benefits than ordinary Americans
00:43:22.620
and don't commit three-quarters of the crimes in midtown Manhattan
00:43:25.140
and are just following the rules and doing the best they can.
00:43:32.900
They're getting all sorts of government benefits.
00:43:34.740
They're getting nice hotel rooms at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
00:43:38.020
And now they're getting $150,000 for home loans.
00:43:45.620
I get why someone in Tennessee would be offended by this,
00:43:51.580
But if you're a liberal, if you're a true liberal,
00:43:56.660
then you probably believe or are at least inclined to favor the view
00:44:03.500
that national borders, they're not really important.
00:44:22.340
to all the wonderful indigenous, much better people than we,
00:44:34.740
We spent a bit of the show talking about these questions
00:44:55.000
but also important figurative images and stories
00:45:20.780
We've got to recognize that there is a distinction
00:45:22.600
between us and all the other countries of the world,
00:45:25.240
between our civilization and other kinds of civilizations.
00:45:42.940
That is the consequence of how we view ourselves now.
00:45:45.320
And it is an urgent matter of practical politics
00:45:54.060

00:46:09.000
You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
00:46:39.240
I want to rename the George Washington Monument
