There's good news and bad news in geopolitics over the weekend.
00:01:01.160
The good news is that a brutal Middle Eastern dictator has been overthrown.
0.59
00:01:07.160
Now, the bad news is the guy who overthrew him is a leader of Al-Qaeda.
00:01:16.020
But par for the course when it comes to our foreign policy establishments blunders.
00:01:43.220

Also, I want to tell you about thecandleclub.com.
00:02:47.140
I can't believe it, but we're going to have to begin today with foreign policy.
00:02:54.300
No one ever really cares about foreign policy, including me, really.
00:02:58.240
You know, it's just, it's so complicated and there are all these alliances.
00:03:01.060
But this one does show you a certain aspect of domestic politics too, namely how the media
00:03:09.100
work and how our foreign policy establishment doesn't ever seem to have its priorities in
00:03:16.620
Bashar al-Assad, the leader of Syria until about five minutes ago, has been overthrown after
00:03:25.440
And that is after his father ruled for a quarter century.
00:03:27.800
So the, the Assad family has been running the show in Syria for a long time.
0.85
00:03:36.680
I looked at first as though Assad was going to go 10 years ago, whatever it was.
00:03:41.280
And the international community and all the Democrats and all the Western powers said,
00:03:50.200
And then we all made nice with Assad again, but now he's gone.
00:03:53.020
And the person who replaced him is an Islamist named Abu Muhammad al-Golani.
00:04:03.000
It's a little confusing because that's not even really his name.
00:04:06.780
I forget what, whatever his real name is, but he goes by Abu Muhammad al-Golani, the nom
00:04:13.080
de guerre referring to the Golan Heights, which is currently controlled by the state of Israel,
00:04:23.400
And in the West, we pronounce it, you know, in Hebrew and in English, we pronounce it Golan.
00:04:29.240
So anyway, whatever you want to call him, al-Golani or al-Julani, call him whatever you like.
00:04:36.600
He showed up and led this offensive through Syria.
0.73
00:04:41.960
Now, in the Western media, we've been told that Bashar al-Assad is the really evil, terrible man,
00:04:51.520
And he's legitimately done very terrible things, tortured people.
00:04:54.280
He's accused of using chemical weapons against his own people.
00:05:00.060
And we're told the rebels are the good guys because they're overthrowing the oppressive leader.
00:05:03.660
The problem is that the rebels are made up of guys who served in al-Qaeda, guys who served in ISIS.
00:05:10.340
Actually, this guy, Abu Muhammad al-Golani, served in both of those.
00:05:18.200
And he led this coalition to topple Assad and to take over Syria.
00:05:24.060
Now, he is, in the words of Bill Rogio, who is a managing editor of Long War Journal,
00:05:29.160
he is a, quote, specially designated global terrorist.
00:05:38.960
After we hear all the great media reports, so good, Bashar al-Assad is gone.
00:05:45.160
Now the Syrian people have their spring, a chance at freedom and independence.
00:05:53.480
Can anyone explain to me why I am supposed to celebrate that Bashar al-Assad was replaced by a member of al-Qaeda?
00:06:04.500
I've made temperate defenses of Assad and of his father, by the way, for years at this point.
00:06:09.720
Because nasty fella, total butcher, all sorts of bad things as dictators and totalitarians do.
00:06:16.540
But one thing that he did right, that he made a key aspect of his presidential propaganda and of his administration, was to protect religious minorities.
00:06:36.580
But there are all sorts of other people in Syria.
00:06:40.260
And so this is really what gets to my interest here.
00:06:44.380
When I think about all these countries that have all sorts of problems, probably my chief interest is the protection of Christians.
00:06:51.840
The Middle East, this area right here, the Levant, is the birthplace of Christianity.
00:06:57.800
These are the oldest Christian communities in the world.
00:07:00.180
They have been subjected to absolute misery and terror, in particular over the last quarter century, though many times over the last 1,400 years or so.
00:07:09.420
And Bashar al-Assad, say what you will about him, was pretty good at protecting the Christians in Syria.
00:07:16.040
When these Islamists take over, the Christians get absolutely decimated, further decimated than they are before.
1.00
00:07:27.760
He basically kept things together and basically protected the Christians.
00:07:31.480
I see no reason to believe that things will improve in Syria with Assad gone.
00:07:36.240
Just as, remember all the Democrats told us it'll be so great when Gaddafi's gone in Libya.
00:07:40.460
There'll be freedom and a new spring for the Libyan people.
00:07:42.920
And that's why the U.S. has to put its thumb on the scale and overthrow Gaddafi.
00:07:48.920
Basically, the same thing was true with Mubarak in Egypt.
00:07:52.260
A lot of our interventions in the Middle East only seem to make things work.
00:07:55.760
The overthrow of Saddam, did that really help the region?
00:07:58.360
Did that even advance our stated goals of countering Iran?
0.95
00:08:04.720
It seems as though the Western forays into the Middle East are a series of one blunder after another.
00:08:11.880
And we never learn the lesson that sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
00:08:18.320
And why is the foreign policy establishment happy about this?
00:08:22.200
Because Bashar Assad was a proxy of Iran in particular and a proxy of Vladimir Putin.
00:08:32.060
Israel is the closest American ally in the Middle East.
00:08:34.900
And Iran and Russia are both on the same page when it comes to Syria.
00:08:38.540
And we've been fighting Russia for about 70, 80 years now.
0.85
00:08:43.400
But Russia still has a lot of missiles pointed at us.
00:08:45.460
So now that you've got the Turks, who are a NATO ally, even though we don't really like the Turks that much.
00:08:51.680
And the West has been fighting the Turks for also like a thousand years now.
0.90
00:08:56.920
But we are friends with the Turks for the purposes of the Cold War.
00:09:00.960
And we've maintained Turkey in the NATO alliance.
00:09:07.260
And Turkey is allied not only with NATO in the U.S., but also allied with Israel, which makes it really complex in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
00:09:14.520
Because in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Armenian Christians, the only oldest Christian nation in the world, is actually allied with Iran.
00:09:24.180
And I don't like the Azerbaijanis in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
0.96
00:09:29.580
And anyway, as you can see, it's very, very confusing.
00:09:36.080
But if I'm trying to simplify it, and I just look at this today, I say, this is a bad thing for Christians in the Middle East.
00:09:42.540
The U.S. foreign policy establishment might say, okay, well, this sort of advances our grand strategic goals.
00:09:49.680
I need a little bit more of a track record of our grand strategic goals working out after 25 years of just absolute chaos and blunder and failure in the Middle East.
1.00
00:10:01.860
I know that all the newspapers want me to celebrate Assad is leaving.
00:10:05.820
Now, speaking of historic drubbings, Assad run out of Syria to Russia, where he got asylum in Moscow for supposedly humanitarian reasons, not just because he was a puppet of Russia.
00:10:17.600
President Trump just gave a brutal drubbing to NBC and meet the press.
00:10:23.040
He went on this classic establishment media show.
00:10:33.840
Why doesn't he just boot him out of the press room and move on?
00:10:40.220
And it did work out because he did not take their bait at all.
00:10:48.300
Whatever they were giving to him, he gave it to them three times over.
00:10:50.920
Here is the first time that Welker on Meet the Press tries to lead Trump into questions about the 2020 election.
00:11:00.160
Sir, I don't have to tell you this because you've talked about it.
00:11:03.120
It comes at a time when the country is deeply divided.
00:11:07.760
And now you're going to be leading this country for the next four years.
00:11:11.680
For the sake of unifying this country, will you concede the 2020 election and turn the page on that chapter?
00:11:22.020
But let me just tell you, when you say the country is deeply divided, I'm not the president.
00:11:38.080
And you know where he divided it more than anything else and it probably backfired on him?
00:11:44.380
When he weaponized the Justice Department and he went after his political opponent, me,
00:11:48.640
he went after his political opponent violently because he knew he couldn't beat him.
00:11:58.900
So she goes, will you, just for unity, because if I divided, we are, will you admit that you
00:12:04.820
lost the 2020 election and then, the implication is, you led an insurrection to try to overthrow
00:12:15.180
And the way he can get away with this is not only because he has gulions of steel, but
00:12:19.000
also because he just won in a landslide, an electoral college landslide, and he won the
00:12:24.800
So if the American people really believed that Trump were an existential threat to democracy,
00:12:28.940
he were causing the division, they wouldn't have elected him, including the majority of
00:12:33.700
married women and 40 percent of women under 30 and one of five black guys and almost half
00:12:37.960
of Hispanics and just a good chunk of every single group in the country voted for him.
00:12:43.700
So he says, no, I'm not going to give you anything.
00:12:51.460
Biden is the president and everyone just reelected me.
00:13:01.880
It's about tradition, gathering around the table with family, sharing meals together,
00:13:07.540
But between that crowded grocery store and the questionable meat that gets sourced at those
00:13:11.660
grocery stores, preparing the perfect holiday feast has become more stressful than it should
00:13:17.800
I, the other day, had a good ranchers pork roast.
00:13:26.060
And that was after I finished eating the delicious spiral ham.
00:13:30.740
And that is in addition to all the phenomenal steaks.
00:13:37.480
He says, Michael, you got to give me the truth.
00:13:50.000
But if you're asking, you're asking me about the quality.
00:13:52.200
You will not get better meat anywhere than you will get from Good Ranchers.
00:14:00.820
Get the Knowles box at Good Ranchers or get any box.
00:14:05.980
You get a free gift included in every box for a year, plus $25 off your order and free express
00:14:17.020
The libs then believe, before we get to the major policy announcement that Trump just
00:14:22.040
made here, the libs believe that in the Meet the Press interview, they got a real gotcha
00:14:30.560
I want to delve into one of your signature promises on the campaign trail, which was to
00:14:39.120
You are now proposing tariffs against the United States' three biggest trading partners,
00:14:44.600
economists of all stripes, say that ultimately consumers pay the price of tariffs.
00:14:50.980
Can you guarantee American families won't pay more?
00:14:58.940
This is another example of him just swatting down the premise.
00:15:03.120
Can you guarantee that your major economic policy will not increase the cost of goods in
00:15:09.420
And he looks at her like she's got three heads.
00:15:21.420
And so the libs think, ha ha, here's the gotcha.
00:15:24.120
Trump is admitting that his economic policies might increase the cost of goods and services.
00:15:32.680
None of a, I think that there is a good case to be made, not only for tariffs as a tactical
00:15:38.740
matter in a negotiation, but also for tariffs as a way to raise revenue and support the economic
00:15:44.080
health of the country by increasing domestic manufacturing.
00:15:47.240
I think there's a good argument for tariffs, okay?
00:15:50.620
But I'm not going to suggest that tariffs won't possibly raise the prices of goods.
00:15:57.320
So what Trump is saying is, I think by implication, in the short run, tariffs might increase the
00:16:05.900
And that's going to be a little bit of pain in the short run.
00:16:08.260
But in the long run, that redounds to the health of the country.
00:16:11.580
Because one, whatever that price spike is, could come down substantially once we start making
00:16:16.760
those goods here in America, which is the point of the tariffs.
00:16:19.820
The point of the tariffs is not just to punish people overseas, not just to punish China for
00:16:28.660
The purpose of the tariffs is to create an incentive for American companies to produce goods
00:16:33.820
here, to create an incentive for American consumers to buy goods that are bought here.
00:16:39.240
And maybe it'll be a little bit more expensive because China has slave labor in concentration camps,
00:16:45.440
But so first of all, there's just an ethical argument to pay a little bit more anyway,
00:16:49.500
because we don't want to be supporting slavery.
00:16:52.160
But even beyond that, it's a matter of national security.
00:16:55.200
We saw during COVID that when we don't control our manufacturing, if supply chains get disrupted
00:17:00.500
for anything, for the Wu flu, for a little cough coming out of a lab in Wuhan, that Americans
0.98
00:17:06.680
might not get their medicine, might not get their goods, might not get their food, for
00:17:10.640
So it is a matter of pressing national security that we start making some goods here again.
00:17:16.480
And Trump is saying, yeah, look, I'm willing to take the short-term political hit.
00:17:20.940
I'm willing to deal with a little short-term economic difficulty for a long-term economic
00:17:28.480
But then he announces, he announces the big policy that he's talking about.
00:17:33.740
And he begins with the question of deportations.
00:17:38.640
Trump says, we need to deport the criminals who are in this country illegally.
0.89
00:17:43.980
And the libs say, no, but what about the sweet little dreamers?
00:17:48.540
You know, and the dreamers at this point are like 50 years old.
00:17:50.840
And they try to pretend that it's, you know, six-year-olds, doe-eyed, who are brought across
00:17:54.600
the border without their consent, without their knowledge.
00:17:58.640
What about, even beyond the dreamers, the people who are born in this country?
00:18:05.160
He says, you know, you have a situation where you've got illegal aliens crossing the border.
00:18:11.440
The baby is granted American citizenship at birth.
00:18:14.420
So are you really going to deport the family members of that person who's given birthright
00:18:20.940
In other words, they're trying to smuggle in 11 million, maybe as high as 20 million
0.56
00:18:27.640
people, because they say, look, some of them have had anchor babies, so you can't deport
00:18:31.680
Trump says, nah, I'm afraid we're going to enforce the law.
00:18:35.060
The estimated 4 million families in America who have mixed immigration status.
00:18:39.240
So I'm talking about parents who might be here illegally, but the kids are here legally.
00:18:46.240
Yeah, well, I mean, there are two aspects to this.
00:18:49.460
Your borders are Tom Homan said they can be deported together.
00:18:53.220
Well, that way you keep the, well, I don't want to be breaking up families.
00:18:57.180
So the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send
00:19:03.660
Well, well, what you're going to do if they want to stay with the father, look, we have
00:19:08.520
You can always find something out like, you know, this doesn't work.
00:19:11.460
I'll tell you what's going to be horrible when we take a wonderful young woman who's
0.94
00:19:17.920
with a criminal and they show the woman and she could stay by the law, but they show the
00:19:25.440
woman being taken out or they want her out and your cameras are focused on her as she's
00:19:31.640
crying as she's being taken out of our country.
00:19:34.120
And then the public turns against us, but we have to do our job.
00:19:37.680
So he's, he's saying, look, I know exactly your game plan.
00:19:43.580
You're going to just give all the hardest cases possible where you've got some criminal,
00:19:49.620
some economic migrant who came over blatant violation of our laws and she's a pretty young
1.00
00:19:54.220
gal and they want to, you know, get married or something like that, but we got to deport
00:19:58.740
He goes, and you're going to try to turn that on me, but look, I'm willing to take the short
00:20:03.000
This is the, they always say Trump is just reactive and he just goes wherever the wind
00:20:07.360
blows and he's so emotional, but, but think about what he's saying here on tariffs.
00:20:11.540
He goes, look, I'm going to do the responsible thing for our country.
00:20:14.160
Even if it hurts me and my, my ratings in the short term on immigration, he goes, look, I
00:20:21.580
I know you're going to attack me unfairly and I'm willing to take the hit because we have
00:20:27.000
I wasn't elected necessarily just to be popular.
00:20:34.600
He doesn't care about the long-term health of the country.
00:20:41.640
This guy is taking a mature statesmanlike approach to these issues.
00:20:46.680
And he is actually demonstrating the political courage and discipline and even humility to
00:20:51.760
do what his predecessors, including the Republicans refused to do because they were too afraid
00:21:01.480
The problem here is you have families with mixed citizenship because you got the anchor
1.00
00:21:05.860
babies and you got some parents who are here illegally.
0.98
00:21:12.740
He says we need to rescind birthright citizenship.
00:21:17.660
You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one.
0.96
00:21:22.780
The 14th Amendment, though, says that, quote, all persons born in the United States are citizens.
00:21:28.200
Can you get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action?
00:21:37.140
You know, if somebody sets a foot, just a foot, one foot, you don't need to on our land.
00:21:44.900
Congratulations, you are now a citizen of the United States of America.
00:21:48.540
Yes, we're going to end that because it's ridiculous.
00:21:55.100
I was going to do it through executive action, but then we had to fix COVID first, to be
00:22:02.320
Now, there's a little trick that that journalist slipped in there.
00:22:05.980
She left out a few words from the 14th Amendment that I think speaks to Trump's point.
00:22:15.380
As Americans, we are blessed to have people like Navy SEALs and Army Rangers to defend us
00:22:19.860
However, in most countries, when war and violence break out, there's often no one to help the people
00:22:25.300
That is where an organization called Stronghold Rescue and Relief steps in.
00:22:29.460
Founded by a former Navy SEAL, Stronghold sends small teams of U.S. veterans into active war zones
00:22:34.500
to conduct rescue missions and deliver life-saving care in the most dangerous places imaginable.
00:22:39.860

NBC News, after Trump says, we're going to get rid of birthright citizenship.
00:23:35.460
The 14th Amendment, the greatest amendment ever to the Constitution, the amendment that lets
0.66
00:23:41.300
us do whatever we want and we can justify basically anything by twisting its words.
00:23:44.720
It says that any person born in the United States is a citizen.
00:23:53.980
Any person born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof is a citizen.
00:24:01.920
The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War to make black people into citizens.
00:24:07.820
There had been controversy over whether black people were citizens, could ever be citizens,
00:24:13.320
could actually participate in American political life, even after being freed slaves.
00:24:18.520
And 14th Amendment, 13th Amendment abolishes slavery.
00:24:23.120
This doesn't mean that if the ambassador to Mexico's child is born while he's on duty in
00:24:31.580
America, that the child of the ambassador to Mexico is a citizen.
00:24:38.000
There was an open question as to whether or not foreign nationals born here are citizens.
00:24:42.840
And that was resolved to some degree in 1898 in the Wong Kim Ark case, which follows English
00:24:51.840
It goes back to the 17th century when the English said, if you are born on the soil,
00:24:57.580
you are subject to the king and you have the privileges and protection and rights given
00:25:06.520
So that's where you get the use solely in the American tradition, the right of the soil.
00:25:11.220
But there's another kind of right, which would be use sanguinis.
00:25:16.600
So if you are born to American citizens overseas, you are an American citizen at birth, even if
00:25:25.120
This is part of why the controversy over Barack Obama's citizenship was a little bit of a
00:25:31.520
Because even if Barack Obama had been born in Kenya, even if he had been born on planet
0.86
00:25:36.980
Mars, his mother was an American citizen, he would have inherited American citizenship at
00:25:42.720
So the question here is, are we going to maintain on the basis of a tenuous reading of the 14th
00:25:50.040
amendment and following this one Supreme Court case, one Kim Ark in 1898, are we going to
00:25:55.480
continue to create a major incentive for foreign nationals to break our laws, come to America,
0.99
00:26:01.660
bring a ton of drugs, bring a ton of crime, all in the hope of getting one of the most valuable
00:26:06.740
commodities in the world, which is American citizenship, are we going to do that?
00:26:11.620
And I think Trump's answer is a very practical answer.
00:26:14.240
And I think it's obviously the right answer, which is he's not getting into constitutional
00:26:20.080
debates over Wong Kim Ark or the 150-year reading of the 14th amendment.
00:26:25.740
He's saying, look, we can all say, we can all know, actually, the people who drafted the
00:26:30.740
14th amendment did not intend for the amendment to create automatic citizens out of 20 million
00:26:36.220
Okay, that was not the, I can promise you that, that wasn't the purpose of it.
00:26:39.120
And even if you have this tradition of right of the soil, of, you know, coming from the
00:26:43.880
English common law, we now have a particular political problem, a particular political
00:26:50.820
And maybe that means that we need to circumscribe the rights of so-called birthright citizenship
00:26:55.900
so that we stop creating the incentive for all these people to come over.
00:27:00.000
60 to 80% of women and girls who come across that border illegally are raped along the way,
00:27:04.280
according to Fusion Amnesty International, reported in the Huffington Post.
00:27:09.040
We know that the people who come here are often paid lower wages.
00:27:12.900
That's one of the arguments from the supposed people on the right who support the open border
00:27:19.060
is they say, look, we need to pay off our gardeners.
00:27:22.900
You know, we need to pay our domestic help.
0.93
00:27:26.080
Good luck finding someone to mow your lawn for a cheap price.
00:27:31.740
But I don't think it's a good thing to keep these people in a state of perpetual indentured
00:27:35.980
I don't think that's, I think it's good to pay people slave wages.
00:27:46.760
We're no longer allowed to have our own borders.
00:27:48.980
We're now no longer allowed to make our own immigration laws.
00:27:51.740
The most basic aspect of having a country we're not allowed to do.
00:28:00.800
It wasn't a problem in 17th century England, but it is a problem now.
00:28:05.480
And so we're just going to use the law to deal with that.
00:28:09.640
Speaking of birth, horrific story out of, out of the UK, I believe a man has just been
00:28:17.420
sentenced to jail for 12 years for slipping a woman, an abortion pill in her drink.
00:28:23.840
You know, the woman gets up to use the bathroom.
1.00
00:28:26.040
The man slips, not a Mickey, not a, not a roofie.
00:28:34.600
If you've ever been pregnant or if your wife's ever been pregnant, you know, 15 weeks.
00:28:47.340
Five more weeks, the baby can survive in some cases outside the womb.
00:28:50.060
So, abortion is wrong at all stages, but it's viscerably, knowably wrong at, at 15 weeks.
00:29:11.800
He apparently also gave her a bunch of other abortion tablets to try to make sure that this
1.00
00:29:20.020
Now, the woman has lifelong anonymity because she's a victim of a sexual offense, but she
1.00
00:29:27.760
She said, look, this might be the only time I can get pregnant.
0.97
00:29:33.480
In reality, this guy should at the very least be imprisoned for life and probably should be
00:29:39.860
executed by the state for what he did because he murdered a little baby.
00:29:46.520
He murdered a woman's child, also happened to be his child, and forget whose child it
00:29:54.340
This guy, at the very least, should be imprisoned for life without parole and more likely should
00:30:02.060
If that kind of a crime does not merit the death penalty, I don't know what does.
00:30:11.780
The only punishment that doesn't make any sense is 12 years in prison.
00:30:20.560
If the baby had been born and he walked up and took a sledgehammer and smushed the baby,
00:30:28.620
Or if it wasn't really a baby, if he just walked up to a clump of cells, like a mass of, I don't know,
00:30:39.280
an amoeba or something, and smashed that with a sledgehammer, he would be given no prison time.
00:30:48.440
12 years sentence for this crime is a perfect representation of our total incoherence on this issue.
00:30:57.360
We can't resolve, as in our civilization, whether we want to protect babies or not.
00:31:11.940
But in the Bible, when splitting the baby comes up, it is used as an example to show the absurdity.
00:31:28.160
He goes, you know, I think that abortion, look, it's a woman's choice.
00:31:50.700
But I don't even understand what the argument would be that it's just this kind of moderate crime.
00:31:56.820
And you get, you know, 12-year sentence, but you only serve five, and then you get probation.
00:32:12.000
So they give the actual worst sentence, which is a handful of years in prison.
00:32:21.780
He got off the hook for murdering a kid and killing a woman's kid and endangering her health.
00:32:37.500
I remember during college, we were debating all of the incipient debates over rape culture on college campuses and the Title IX lawsuits.
00:32:46.580
And a lot of it seemed really incoherent because on the one hand, you'd have these leftists and feminists arguing that sex was not meaningful at all.
00:32:54.820
You should just go out and engage in the hookup culture.
00:32:57.440
There was no difference between how men and women approached sex.
0.99
00:33:00.420
It was just a casual, fun thing, kind of like shaking someone's hand.
00:33:04.120
But on the other hand, sexual assault was the worst crime ever.
00:33:08.040
It was so serious that you shouldn't even be entitled to a trial by a jury of your peers.
00:33:12.900
You should just immediately be expelled and have your life ruined if you were even suggested to have maybe engaged in any improper sexual activity.
00:33:20.580
If sex is meaningless, then why is sexual assault different than any other assault?
00:33:25.360
Why is it different than giving someone a shove or slapping them in the face?
00:33:35.780
Speaking of the sexual revolution, back here in America, our own Department of Health and Human Services is celebrating Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day.
00:33:47.880
I hope you all had a blessed Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day.
00:33:51.360
This was two days after the Feast of St. Nicholas.
00:33:56.380
One day before today's feast, which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, HHS was celebrating what they considered to be a much more important feast on the liberal liturgical calendar.
00:34:14.120
Today on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported no matter who they love.
00:34:21.360
Create a world where everyone feels proud to be themselves.
00:34:26.020
So a lot of people are going to ask, what does pansexual mean?
00:34:34.040
Pansexual and panromantic is apparently just bisexual, but through the lens of transgenderism.
00:34:41.460
So it just means that you'll date or hook up with whoever.
00:34:45.900
But whereas bisexual believes that sex and gender are basically the same thing, now we live even further through the looking glass.
0.99
00:34:57.500
So pansexual thinks that there's a difference between sexual, biological sex, and gender identity.
00:35:04.040
And they say that if you're pansexual, you can be attracted to anyone.
00:35:11.620
A man who thinks he's a woman, a woman who thinks she's a man, a man who thinks he's a man, or a woman who thinks she's a woman.
0.79
00:35:16.820
So it's just bisexual, but with a few extra fantastical steps in your own mind.
0.85
00:35:26.400
This concept, which is totally counter to science, it's supposed to be a scientific department, counter to health, certainly mental health.
00:35:34.140
Because we're going to have feast days, that's why.
00:35:37.220
Just another reminder, we are going to have feast days.
00:35:42.860
That's what every people has done for all of history.
00:35:45.040
So for the secularists, the people who want to separate church and state, so we got to get our religion out of the state.
0.53
00:35:59.000
So the question is, are we going to have good holidays or ridiculous holidays?
00:36:05.160
Are we going to celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas around Christmas time?
00:36:08.760
Or are we going to celebrate pansexual, pan-romantic pride day?
0.51
00:36:12.400
Are we going to celebrate people of heroic virtue?
00:36:16.340
Or are we going to celebrate the queen of all vice, pride?
0.67
00:36:21.460
Now, today, the Daily Wire is not just fighting the good fight.
00:36:25.800
We are expanding our reach into one of the last truly merit-based sports in America, UFC.
00:36:30.360

My favorite comment yesterday is from Chemical Prophecy.
00:36:54.440
He says, does anyone actually know where Biden is?
00:37:09.820
We've been going back and forth between England and America, England and America.
00:37:14.560
But as we look ahead to our political future, don't think that the threats to your political life have gone away.
00:37:21.420
A cop has just gone viral in the UK for attempting to arrest a man for Facebook comments.
00:37:27.780
Times, 20 to 3, 1440, arresting you on suspicion of improper use of the electronic communications network.
00:37:41.460
So you do not have to say that it may harm your defence if you don't mention one question, support you later or I am caught.
00:37:55.240
Okay, this is in relation to some comments that you've made on a Facebook page.
00:38:04.340
So we need to ask you some questions about that.
00:38:09.260
I'm going to be arrested for posting on Facebook.
00:38:11.320
I've made some comments that are offensive, obscene, and people have made a complaint about that.
00:38:25.560
And so what, am I going to be locked up for the night or...
00:38:32.980
Yeah, we've had a few too many likes on Twitter from some right-wing content.
00:38:48.440
This video is from back in June, June of this year.
00:38:51.440
The guy who was arrested, it's not clear what he was arrested for.
00:38:54.240
Was he posting about, you know, men are not women or some basic sort of thing?
00:39:01.360
According to the UK government, he violated Section 127 of the UK Communications Act in 2003,
00:39:08.700
which criminalizes matter that is, quote, grossly offensive or indecent, obscene, or menacing in character.
00:39:15.260
So it could have been just offensive by today's standards, which is, you say, a baby is a baby.
00:39:20.280
But it might have been indecent, might have been obscene, might have been menacing in character.
00:39:23.500
And we have laws against that stuff in America, too.
00:39:26.020
And we have prosecuted people for that stuff in America for all of American history,
00:39:29.860
even back in the good old free, you know, early constitutional days.
00:39:34.940
And even recently, we prosecuted and imprisoned at the federal level a pornographer in 2008,
00:39:40.860
right as Barack Obama was about to take office.
00:39:44.820
It's kind of my point on the holidays and the holy days.
00:39:47.760
We're going to have rules against certain speech and behavior.
00:39:50.700
We have for all of American history, and we've enforced them.
00:39:53.880
The question is, what are you going to go to jail for?
00:39:56.660
Are you going to go to jail for showing pornography to kids in schools?
00:40:01.360
Now you're going to be put on the board that is establishing curricula standards,
00:40:09.140
Are you going to go to jail for exposing kids to pornography?
00:40:11.400
Or are you going to go to jail for questioning transgenderism?
00:40:16.360
But it's not, are you going to be punished for certain kinds of speech?
00:40:23.280
And if we ignore that substantive question, we only focus on procedural matters,
00:40:27.820
hearkening back to some halcyon libertarian era when we didn't in any way enforce speech
00:40:34.000
standards that never existed, we're just going to keep losing.
00:40:39.260
Now, what is going to inform us can either be the degeneracy, the culture of selfishness
00:40:47.800
and atheism that the libs are pushing, or it can be our traditional moral standards.
00:40:56.300
Bible sales are up 22% year over year, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:41:01.820
According to the Wall Street Journal, if you look October 2024 versus October 2023,
00:41:08.500
This is despite nearly a third of US adults identifying as religiously unaffiliated.
00:41:14.920
So they're not exactly saying they're atheists.
00:41:18.160
A lot of them were raised without a religion, or they were raised in some incoherent kind of
00:41:22.720
You know, I have a lot of friends like this, who they grew up in New York, and one parent
00:41:30.740
And so rather than coming to a decision and say, okay, what are we going to teach our kids
00:41:39.560
You know, you'll go to Sunday school, and then you'll go to Hebrew school.
00:41:42.320
And in one, they'll tell you that Christ is Lord, and in the other, they'll say that he
00:41:46.900
And you'll just have these two contradictory religious systems.
00:41:52.960
The real result is not going to be that you're Christian or Jewish.
00:41:56.100
The real result is you're not going to have any religion.
00:42:03.560
And to you, if you do vaguely end up Christian, it's going to be Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
0.98
00:42:08.540
If you vaguely end up Jewish, it's going to be bagels and a sense of history, the tragedy
1.00
00:42:16.740
of the Holocaust and, I don't know, going back to the exodus of Moses.
0.62
00:42:21.240
It's not going to actually have meaning to you.
00:42:24.540
And so these people, I have great sympathy for them, grow up without much religion, and
00:42:35.580
They're buying the Bibles because the eternal questions remain.
00:42:47.060
Chris Hitchens could turn a witty phrase with that silly accent of his.
00:42:50.880
I'm being really tough on the Brits today, huh?
00:42:52.540
He could turn a clever phrase, but there wasn't much substance there.
00:42:59.280
I remember I read his stupid book, God is Not Great.
00:43:01.240
He never actually makes the argument that God is not great.
00:43:06.820
And I think the new atheism really ran its course because it was based on lies.
00:43:10.360
You know, it was based on, and there were historical lies, historical moments that they
00:43:15.400
But it was based on the lie after 9-11 that all religion's the same.
0.67
00:43:19.180
So you think Islam is bad, but you don't want to criticize Islam.
00:43:24.540
But Islam and Christianity are not the same.
1.00
00:43:27.840
They believe different things about basic questions.
00:43:29.580
It was based on the lie that the Catholic Church sex scandal was the worst sex scandal ever.
00:43:38.500
But turns out, with the light of data and retrospection, we can see the sex abuse scandal
00:43:46.800
in the Catholic Church was no worse than in any other religious group.
00:43:50.340
It was actually significantly lower in frequency and severity than some other religious groups.
00:43:58.140
And it was about half the rate of public schools.
00:44:07.480
I have a theory, even beyond those sociological observations, that is politically incorrect,
00:44:15.940
And that is that the Bible is the inerrant word of God.
00:44:18.300
It actually is what the church says that it is.
00:44:23.780
And the fundamental things apply as time goes by.
00:44:28.220
And the revolutionaries and the social engineers and the people who want to rewrite the world,
00:44:33.120
they can try as they might to stop it, but it's not going to work.
00:44:36.800
Now, before we go, I do want to get to an important case.
00:44:42.240
Daniel Penny, who is that hero Marine who protected people on the subway when a crazy person was threatening them,
00:44:49.640
but then the guy ended up dying as Daniel Penny was restraining him,
00:44:59.500
There was just the jury said, no, we can't convict him of this.
00:45:05.360
But because the judge, in an unusual way, threw out the top charge,
00:45:09.860
the judge will now have the jury consider a lesser charge,
00:45:12.880
but still a serious charge that carries four years of jail time.
00:45:19.340
And Daniel Penny's lawyers have objected to this, said, hold on, you can't,
00:45:23.780
You knew you weren't going to get him on what you're going after him for,
00:45:26.180
so you're trying to, you're begging the jury, please give him the lesser verdict,
00:45:34.040
Several subway riders said they were terrified that Jordan Neely,
00:45:37.160
the man who, the guy with a long, a rap sheet a mile long,
00:45:41.000
who was, by the account of the defense, schizophrenic and high on drugs,
00:45:46.940
he was on a drug called Spice, which is synthetic cannabinoids,
00:45:50.400
it's much more serious than marijuana, tries to mimic that though,
00:45:59.560
He says, restraining him for the moment was a relief,
00:46:02.820
but if he would have gotten up, he would have done what he would have done,
00:46:11.420
in part because they have this racial politics that says black people are always innocent,
00:46:16.500
So that's part of it, that's obviously informing it.
00:46:19.060
But also because the libs are responsible for Jordan Neely's behavior,
00:46:28.920
The people need to have the liberty and the freedom to roam the streets and shoot up drugs.
00:46:35.320
The libs want to decriminalize and liberalize drugs.
00:46:38.080
The libs think that law enforcement is somehow evil,
00:46:47.380
So they created the conditions for this kind of incident to occur.
00:46:58.940
I'm going to protect you if your civil authority won't.
00:47:05.140
