00:00:15.340 A new euphemism has dropped for the leftist riots in LA. Fiery but mostly peaceful protests are out.

00:00:23.420 Overwhelmingly peaceful protests, that was Kamala's euphemism, that's out.

00:00:27.300 But now, according to liberal journalists like Brian Stelter, remember him?

00:00:33.360 The arson and looting are to be known as a cry of hope.

00:00:40.240 I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:57.300 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:03.860 Israel has finally gone too far. 0.95

00:01:06.220 You know I've been circumspect in my criticisms of the state of Israel.

00:01:10.040 Too far.

00:01:10.680 Put a pause on my brilliant thoughts because I want you to go to balanceofnature.com.

00:01:18.880 You've heard me talk about balance of nature many times before.

00:01:21.660 That is because balance of nature fruits and veggies is the most convenient way to get whole fruits and vegetables daily,

00:01:26.480 especially if you're focused on creating a healthier, happier lifestyle.

00:01:29.920 Nature is pretty good at giving us the nutrients we need through our fruits and vegetables.

00:01:33.240 So balance of nature takes fruits and veggies, freeze dries them, turns them into a powder, and puts them into a capsule.

00:01:38.400 You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, then your body knows what to do with them.

00:01:42.020 Balance of nature is just one ingredient of a balanced lifestyle, has no intention to replace a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, or any other healthy habits.

00:01:48.420 It is intended to be used in concert with other healthy habits.

00:01:51.620 I personally love balance of nature.

00:01:53.360 You know I'm on the road a lot.

00:01:54.260 I've been doing actually a fair bit of international travel, some of it for work at least, and speeches and podcasts and all that.

00:02:00.840 It's good to know when the sweet little Lisa's not making me my veggies that I can have access to them all the time. 0.99

00:02:20.240 Ryan Stelter, he was on CNN.

00:02:22.260 Now I don't know what he's doing.

00:02:23.540 He's tweeting.

00:02:24.320 He posted an article from the American Prospect.

00:02:28.520 This is some liberal magazine.

00:02:29.580 And here's the quote he posts from it.

00:02:31.680 These protests, which have been abbreviated in the media as unrest, were actually a cry of hope and a reminder of the human need for community.

00:02:43.560 The need to turn to each other to find something and believe in, like free sneakers, for instance.

00:02:50.740 That would be something to believe in, like cars on fire.

00:02:53.900 That would be, yes.

00:02:55.240 Just to turn to each other, find something to believe in, like graffiti and assault and arson.

00:03:00.960 Yeah, it's, you know, it's like you have your bridge club, you have your church group, and we on the left have our Mexican anarchist arson and looting parades.

00:03:17.480 You know, it's just, it's about community.

00:03:19.200 It's a cry of hope.

00:03:19.760 The article in the headline goes on to call them cries of defiance and songs of joy in Los Angeles.

00:03:27.360 It's just, the libs can't help themselves happily. 0.90

00:03:34.820 This is a great fact for conservatives to console ourselves with.

00:03:38.780 They can't help themselves.

00:03:40.120 They always have to take it a little bit too far.

00:03:42.800 And then the backlash comes.

00:03:45.260 This is it.

00:03:46.260 Russell Kirk kind of understood this.

00:03:48.120 Plenty of conservatives over the years have intuited this fact.

00:03:51.360 The great conservative consolation that reality reasserts itself in the end.

00:03:55.160 And the libs, they have to follow their ideas to their most extreme illogical positions, which then causes the backlash.

00:04:03.160 The libs couldn't be cool with don't ask, don't tell.

00:04:06.800 Don't ask, don't tell in the American military was a concession to the gay lobby. 0.92

00:04:12.580 It was Bill Clinton.

00:04:13.420 It was a liberal president saying, look, previously it was totally against the rules to be a little light and loafers in the army and the Navy and the Marines and the Air Force and the Coast Guard.

00:04:22.860 But so now we're just not going to ask.

00:04:26.820 And you're not going to tell.

00:04:27.960 We're not going to say it's great and wonderful.

00:04:29.720 But, you know, just we're not going to ask.

00:04:31.240 You're not going to tell.

00:04:32.020 And you get to remain in the military.

00:04:33.840 But the libs couldn't be cool with that. 0.54

00:04:36.100 I said, no, we want to tell.

00:04:38.640 We want to tell.

00:04:39.380 We want to tell everyone.

00:04:40.760 We want to tell them in the streets and pride parades.

00:04:43.580 We want to tell them in the schools and in the elementary schools.

00:04:47.100 Yeah, that's what we want to do.

00:04:48.280 We want to tell the kids how great it is to be gay and not just gay, by the way, where that we're not even going to be restrained with that.

00:04:54.880 We got to go trans and we're going to trans the kids.

00:04:58.180 And at a certain point, ordinary people have had enough.

00:05:03.660 And so they say, no, cut it.

00:05:06.600 No, I disapprove.

00:05:08.720 I reject this.

00:05:10.360 And when you reject the logical conclusion of an idea, you start to unwind and you start to reject the idea itself.

00:05:17.960 This is why, by the way, many people have observed that it's become almost cliche this year to say, you know, in the year 2025, we're allowed to say gay and retarded again. 0.82

00:05:27.360 They like these two words that had become kind of verboten and taboo for the last, I don't know, 20 years.

00:05:32.100 Well, now we can say them again.

00:05:33.780 Just focus on that word gay. 0.99

00:05:35.100 Why?

00:05:35.320 Why is it now acceptable, socially acceptable in many quarters to use the word gay in a pejorative sense?

00:05:44.340 It's because the libs went so far with the trans stuff and transing the kids. 0.95

00:05:48.340 So then, as I predicted, you know, I hate to say I told you so.

00:05:51.260 I said, we're not just going to stop by saying, okay, here's the red line.

00:05:53.960 No more transing the kids. 1.00

00:05:54.920 That's it.

00:05:55.360 No, no.

00:05:55.560 I said, it's going to go back.

00:05:57.540 There's going to be a backlash against transing the adults. 0.89

00:05:59.180 There's going to be a backlash against the whole LGBT movement.

00:06:01.520 Ultimately, there will be a backlash against feminism, which is the origin of this idea. 1.00

00:06:06.280 Just as the idea goes from the beginning all the way to its logical extreme, so too, when it boomerangs back, it's going to keep going.

00:06:14.560 You're not going to really be able to stop it.

00:06:15.760 That's what's going on in L.A.

00:06:19.180 Had some Mexicans just gotten upset that they were being deported and maybe even held a rally or two, no one would care.

00:06:27.200 Trump would not be involved.

00:06:28.120 The National Guard would not be there.

00:06:29.100 The Marines would not be there.

00:06:30.400 Ordinary people would not be defending the Trump administration's policies.

00:06:35.100 They'd ignore it.

00:06:36.160 The Libs had to go, not only protest, but wave Mexican flags, not only wave Mexican flags, but wear keffias, not only wear keffias, but light cars on fire, not only light cars on fire, but loot, not only loot, but say that it was a great thing.

00:06:56.280 They couldn't even say, oh, this is bad, but it's being incited by the Republicans.

00:06:59.580 No, no, no.

00:07:00.560 They had to go further.

00:07:01.200 They had to say, this is great.

00:07:02.560 This is joyful.

00:07:03.620 Oh, what a joyous arson.

00:07:06.440 Oh, this is hopeful.

00:07:08.140 This is a wonderful celebration.

00:07:11.260 That's when ordinary people look at it and say, oh, you guys are completely divorced from reality.

00:07:15.500 Okay, no thanks.

00:07:17.140 No thanks, Brian Stelter.

00:07:18.380 No thanks, Kamala Harris.

00:07:19.680 No thanks, Mexican anarchist, Palestinian arson looting gangs. 0.95

00:07:26.320 No thanks.

00:07:26.980 We're good.

00:07:27.580 We don't want that.

00:07:28.420 Whatever that is, we want the opposite.

00:07:30.300 We're with Trump.

00:07:31.080 Trump and the National Guard and the Marines and the normal people.

00:07:35.600 They just have to take it a little too far.

00:07:37.920 So some of the Democrat politicians understand that this has happened.

00:07:41.600 This is not their first rodeo.

00:07:42.900 This has happened many times before.

00:07:44.260 So the smartest ones, like Nancy Pelosi, got to give her credit.

00:07:47.580 She's been in power a long time.

00:07:48.600 Nancy Pelosi tries to deflect. 1.00

00:07:51.420 Rather than defending the anti-deportation riots as cries of joy, she says, okay, I don't want to talk about the deportation riots at all because it's just going to make us look bad.

00:08:02.380 I'm going to deflect to talk about January 6th.

00:08:08.380 On January 6th, with violence against the Constitution, against the Congress, and against the United States Capitol, we begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard.

00:08:24.240 He would not do it.

00:08:25.660 And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California.

00:08:35.560 Something is very wrong with this picture.

00:08:38.440 Something is wrong here.

00:08:39.660 You see the argument?

00:08:40.560 Oh, Trump, he's so happy to send in the National Guard to L.A., where he's politicizing the protests of the migrants.

00:08:48.860 But on January 6th, when I begged him to send in the National Guard, he refused to do it.

00:08:57.700 So clearly, Trump does not have a consistent view of the National Guard or of law enforcement.

00:09:01.920 He's just playing politics.

00:09:03.540 And the proof is, I begged him to send in the National Guard on January 6th.

00:09:08.160 He did not, and it's all his fault.

00:09:10.220 Which would be, at least a somewhat compelling argument, had Nancy Pelosi not contradicted the argument herself when she admitted on camera that the failure to send in the National Guard on January 6th lies entirely with her.

00:09:29.060 We have responsibility, Terry.

00:09:32.080 We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.

00:09:38.260 This is ridiculous.

00:09:40.220 You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that, should we call the Capitol Police?

00:09:51.880 I mean, the National Guard?

00:09:53.860 Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?

00:09:58.260 They thought that they had sufficient resources.

00:10:00.340 No, there's not a question of how they had made it.

00:10:02.480 They don't know.

00:10:03.380 They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.

00:10:11.840 I take responsibility.

00:10:14.640 I take responsibility for not having them prepare for more.

00:10:21.500 Why weren't the National Guard there?

00:10:23.760 I take responsibility.

00:10:25.300 That was Nancy Pelosi in a film made, I believe, by her daughter, which really only came out because of all of the investigations into January 6th.

00:10:32.740 Libs really hoisted with their own petard on that one. 0.63

00:10:34.860 Now, in the year of our Lord 2025, Nancy Pelosi says it was Trump's fault the National Guard wasn't there.

00:10:42.100 Well, hold on, lady. 0.98

00:10:43.120 In an apparently candid moment, closer to the event, you admitted it was your fault.

00:10:47.860 So the whole argument falls apart.

00:10:50.860 Trump is just politicizing the National Guard.

00:10:52.360 No, no, no.

00:10:52.580 He's been pretty consistent.

00:10:54.020 He wants to restore law and order.

00:10:56.500 You guys hate law and order, which is why you encouraged not only the L.A. deportation riots, where you said, get out in the street.

00:11:03.320 Come on, go out there.

00:11:04.560 Make sure you tell the Trump administration what you think.

00:11:07.080 But you did this during George Floyd, and you do this all the time.

00:11:10.940 And you don't want law enforcement because you think that a little bit of anarchy on the streets will help you gain a little bit more power.

00:11:16.740 And now that Trump has unified government and he's wielding the government to make you look terrible and to enforce justice, two very important priorities, now all of a sudden you object to it.

00:11:28.180 And the only way you can object to it is by lying.

00:11:30.440 And now we got you dead to rights in the lie because of the video.

00:11:34.120 The National Guard will remain there.

00:11:35.680 The Marines will remain there. 0.84

00:11:36.720 We will continue to arrest your anarchistic and arsonist associates, and you can cry about it.

00:11:42.780 But it's not going to look good for you, and the people know exactly what's up.

00:11:45.740 Because we can see it with our own two eyes.

00:11:47.600 I'm going to return to my very important point.

00:11:49.820 First, though, I want you to go to helixsleep.com slash knolls.

00:11:54.300 I love the mountains.

00:11:55.900 I love the rolling hills.

00:11:58.680 I love the daffodils, okay?

00:12:00.100 Because my Helix mattress is, one, it's my favorite kind of mattress, period, and not just for me, for my kids.

00:12:08.840 I now, because I'm a good father, I have gotten Helix mattresses for both of my toddlers.

00:13:04.640 Speaking of inadvertent liberal admissions regarding the immigration issue,

00:13:09.280 my favorite bit, my single favorite piece of coverage from the entire LA riots.

00:13:16.300 It comes from the Washington Post.

00:13:19.620 Headline, an ice raid disrupts life on Martha's Vineyard.

00:13:22.960 Here's the post on the social media posting of this article.

00:13:27.080 Life on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket has been disrupted after migrant workers were shackled and boarded onto Coast Guard boats,

00:13:34.420 igniting fear among undocumented workers who formed the backbone of the island's workforce.

00:13:42.000 The backbone.

00:13:43.200 These illegal aliens were the workers, understood primarily in their role as labor, 0.60

00:13:49.440 cheap labor that does not have recourse to legal protections.

00:13:52.780 They're the backbone of the workforce of some of the ritziest places in the country, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

00:13:59.860 Now life, life on Martha's Vineyard has been disrupted.

00:14:05.840 Can you imagine the Washington Post reporting April 12th, 1861?

00:14:12.300 Life in Charleston has been disrupted.

00:14:15.200 The reliable labor force is threatened by raids from the federal government.

00:14:20.520 Yeah.

00:14:21.340 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:14:24.020 Now, the Lib, a lot of the Libs, I think, and some of the squishier conservatives, but a lot of the Libs,

00:14:31.700 they're probably not even conscious of it.

00:14:33.900 But the reason they are so eager to defend illegal immigration is because it provides them effectively with slave labor.

00:14:41.000 If not quite slave labor, at least indentured servant labor, at least it's pretty close to slave labor.

00:14:48.100 When they say, who's going to pick our grapes and who's going to wash our houses and who's going to mow our lawns?

00:14:55.100 What they're saying is, what they're saying is, what are you going to do when you have to pay a fair market rate

00:15:01.160 to workers who have recourse to legal protections for all of these things in your home?

00:15:06.780 And they're not just talking to the super rich.

00:15:08.840 Basically, every person in America, at least every person in and around a major city, any kind of city,

00:15:16.180 I don't know, what are you talking about?

00:15:17.060 You're talking about 80% of Americans at this point, regularly interact with illegal alien labor.

00:15:24.600 There are a lot of illegal aliens in the country.

00:15:26.200 Maybe not if you're truly in the middle of the sticks outside of Palookaville.

00:15:29.620 Maybe then you don't interact with illegal alien labor.

00:15:32.340 But if you're in or around anything even resembling a city, you do.

00:15:36.820 And so it's not just rich Uncle Pennybags who has the illegals cleaning their private jets before they take off. 0.85

00:15:43.360 It's everyone.

00:15:44.140 Everyone is using Uber Eats, okay, or any of these delivery services.

00:15:48.660 Anyone who has a yard, who's paying for any kind of landscaping services.

00:15:53.540 It's anyone who's using all sorts of the service industry, fast food.

00:15:58.320 Chances are you're interacting with illegal alien labor. 0.84

00:16:03.520 And if we deport the illegals, your costs are going to go up. 0.99

00:16:06.820 And that means that the bougie little urbanite or suburbanite is not going to have access to his slave labor anymore. 0.88

00:16:16.560 And that's going to disrupt life on Martha's Vineyard. 1.00

00:16:19.620 So I made the comparison, obviously, to the outbreak of the Civil War.

00:16:24.740 You know, Charleston v.

00:16:25.960 Life around Fort Sumter has been really disrupted.

00:16:29.080 However, we should be clear because I don't want to be accused of hypocrisy or something.

00:16:33.880 The problem with illegal immigration is not primarily that it violates the rights of illegal alien workers.

00:16:41.980 That's part of it.

00:16:43.120 The problem with illegal immigration is primarily one of sovereignty and justice.

00:16:48.340 Are we a sovereign nation?

00:16:49.940 Do we get to decide who comes in here, who is entitled to our resources, who gets to establish himself here, and whose family gets to vote?

00:16:57.480 That's the primary issue.

00:16:59.300 It's not just, you know, a sob story for the illegal aliens.

00:17:05.080 But that is part of it.

00:17:07.440 I think, this is why I think the Civil War analogy is actually pretty apt. 0.98

00:17:10.020 The Civil War was not primarily about slavery.

00:17:14.140 It was.

00:17:14.840 It was largely about slavery, but it was not primarily about slavery.

00:17:17.560 It was about sovereignty and the political order.

00:17:20.360 What kind of political order are we going to live under?

00:17:23.560 Do states have the right to secede from the union?

00:17:26.100 Do these were the big, big political order questions?

00:17:29.600 And the inciting incident was the slavery crisis.

00:17:32.800 That's all true.

00:17:33.500 Same thing here.

00:17:35.760 But this is what they're worried about.

00:17:37.920 Oh, that life.

00:17:38.720 You're right.

00:17:39.400 The life on Martha's Vineyard and the life in Nantucket, that is going to be disrupted.

00:17:44.400 And your life is going to be disrupted, by the way.

00:17:46.100 I made this point, warning my fellow conservatives.

00:17:48.600 If Trump actually deports 16 million illegal aliens, you're going to complain about it.

00:17:55.020 I'm going to complain about it because costs for a lot of things are going to go up.

00:17:58.960 It's not as though illegal immigration was just some uniformly terrible thing inflicted on us by the outside party.

00:18:06.700 It was just the Democrats.

00:18:07.660 It wasn't just the Democrats.

00:18:09.040 It was just the liberals.

00:18:10.400 It wasn't just the liberals.

00:18:12.260 It was this unholy concoction of squishy Chamber of Commerce Republicans and opportunistic Democrats who wanted a permanent electoral majority coming together and bringing in this foreign population because they thought that they could get an advantage out of it.

00:18:30.360 And there were advantages to it.

00:18:31.760 And if we get rid of it, we will lose those advantages.

00:18:33.960 Prices will go up.

00:18:34.660 I think sovereignty is worth the cost.

00:18:38.460 I think a cohesive society is worth the cost.

00:18:41.220 I think not pressing three for English is worth the cost.

00:18:43.760 But there will be costs, no doubt about it.

00:18:46.020 Now, last point on this from another paper of record.

00:18:50.760 New York Times really messing up here.

00:18:53.800 Headline, the Mexican flag becomes a potent LA protest symbol.

00:18:58.340 That's true.

00:18:59.180 Totally right about that.

00:19:00.120 Trump officials have cast demonstrators waving the Mexican flag as insurrectionists.

00:19:05.780 But for many protesters who are Mexican-American, the flag represents pride in their heritage.

00:19:10.600 Yeah.

00:19:11.500 Okay.

00:19:12.740 Really funny coming from the New York Times.

00:19:14.440 What did the liberals say when Southerners said, you know, look, the Confederate flag doesn't represent some awful racist, terrible thing.

00:19:21.880 It just represents pride in our heritage.

00:19:23.340 You've got to ban it from Amazon, have to ban it from all of public life.

00:19:27.540 But when it's a Mexican flag, when it's not even a flag that's remotely associated with your own country, then we have to wave it.

00:19:32.880 It's a proud symbol of our heritage.

00:19:35.160 Okay.

00:19:37.700 Trump could not have played this more perfectly.

00:19:39.540 The fact that the protesters, the arsonists and the looters are waving Mexican flags, and even the handful of peaceful protesters, however many there are, the fact that they're waving the Mexican flag, Trump could not have scripted that more perfectly.

00:19:55.280 It is politics 101 that whatever you want to do, whatever your political program, you wrap yourself in the country's flag.

00:20:05.900 You have to argue, if you want to be politically effective, you have to argue that your political program is coming out of the tradition of your country, that it forms the deepest wellspring of your country.

00:20:18.420 I mean, think about when Abraham Lincoln effectively refounded the country after the Civil War, his famous speeches spoke to the American tradition.

00:20:29.460 In some ways, he was upending the American tradition, but he was making his arguments from within the tradition.

00:20:35.120 Four score and seven years ago, the most famous line of any Abraham Lincoln speech, four score and seven years ago, it says,

00:20:41.340 what I'm doing is the fulfillment of what the people who founded our country wanted to do.

00:20:48.420 And so anything, whatever your political agenda, you need to make that argument if you want to be effective.

00:20:54.420 Some arguments are more plausible than others.

00:20:56.700 The Libs seem to have forgotten that.

00:20:58.080 The New York Times seems to have forgotten that.

00:20:59.360 So they come out, they say, I guess it just flows naturally from their political view, which is that they hate the country.

00:21:04.960 And they say the country's evil, so they say we want to fly the flag of another country.

00:21:07.960 Okay, good luck persuading people.

00:21:12.660 Maybe this is it.

00:21:13.920 Maybe you've so successfully weakened the country that we hate our own flag.

00:21:17.840 I wouldn't bet on it.

00:21:21.420 Trump is so good.

00:21:23.220 Drew Klavan pointed this out.

00:21:24.640 Drew said, Trump is really great at driving his opponents crazy.

00:21:27.800 It's not that Trump destroys his opponents.

00:21:29.340 It's that Trump makes his opponents destroy themselves.

00:21:32.400 That's what we're seeing here.

00:21:33.600 Okay, now the New York Times says, hey, Democrats, everyone, all of you, fly Mexican flags.

00:21:39.180 That'll persuade the electorate.

00:21:40.360 Okay, good luck.

00:21:42.320 Speaking of waving foreign flags, Israel has gone too far. 0.93

00:22:55.220 The Israel-Palestine issue, it's been a big, big controversy.

00:23:00.720 Broadly, the right supports the state of Israel.

00:23:03.780 Broadly, the left supports Palestine.

00:23:06.140 But it's more complicated than that.

00:23:08.080 There are a handful of Democrats who are still pro-Israel.

00:23:10.780 There are, especially young conservatives, who are much more skeptical of Israel, even open to the Free Palestine movement in some way, which is a little weird.

00:23:18.580 But basically, that's the line.

00:23:20.620 However, I'll say it as a conservative, Israel's gone too far. 0.96

00:23:29.580 You know Greta Thunberg, she was on a boat going to Gaza for some reason because she hadn't gotten enough media attention in a while. 1.00

00:23:36.880 And climate change is ridiculous and no one cares about it anymore.

00:23:39.420 So she needed a hit.

00:23:41.260 And she said, all right, well, what's the big issue now?

00:23:43.120 I guess the big issue on the left is the Free Palestine movement.

00:23:45.400 All right, I'm going to forget about the sun monster.

00:23:47.440 I'm going to put on a keffiyeh now. 0.89

00:23:49.160 And we'll get on a boat.

00:23:50.000 She loves the boats.

00:23:51.360 And she goes to Gaza.

00:23:52.520 And the boat is intercepted in this war zone by the Israeli military.

00:23:59.180 And the Israelis walk on the ship. 0.89

00:24:01.340 And there's video and pictures of this.

00:24:02.780 They, rather than, you know, beheading them or something like the Hamas would do, the Israelis give them brioche or what is it? 0.75

00:24:09.360 Hala, Hala, the Israeli brioche, Jewish brioche, and give them, you know, I don't know, like drinks and water and stuff.

00:24:16.000 And they take her in, and then they don't hold them captive as Hamas would do. 0.94

00:24:20.940 They decide to send them back, including Greta.

00:24:25.280 And what do they do?

00:24:26.260 This is, what do they do?

00:24:28.180 Greta is an international celebrity, okay?

00:24:30.680 Greta could fly around in private jets all the time if she wants. 1.00

00:24:33.780 She actually somehow manages to engage in transportation that's even less environmentally efficient. 1.00

00:24:40.760 But she, you know, this is a big star, Greta.

00:24:43.400 Greta, those dastardly Jews put her in coach. 1.00

00:24:48.780 Can you imagine that?

00:24:50.360 Can you imagine?

00:24:51.120 Greta?

00:24:52.220 Not even comfort plus did the Israelis put this girl in. 0.98

00:24:56.320 Coach.

00:24:57.280 And if you look, actually, she seems to be relatively close to the bathroom.

00:25:02.740 So it's toward the back of the plane.

00:25:05.140 She's fine.

00:25:05.660 She's got a lot of space. 0.99

00:25:06.580 It kind of looks like a COVID flight.

00:25:07.840 Remember during COVID, coach was actually often nicer to fly in than first class.

00:25:11.520 If any of you fly, I still did some business travel during COVID.

00:25:14.820 And I'd be envious of my colleagues who were in coach.

00:25:18.740 I'd often get the business class seat.

00:25:20.880 But coach, you get to recline.

00:25:22.060 And so she's got room to recline and everything.

00:25:23.780 But coach!

00:25:26.540 Greta.

00:25:27.500 It's too much.

00:25:29.280 Enough, Israel. 0.96

00:25:30.340 Enough.

00:25:31.560 Okay?

00:25:32.140 You've gone too far.

00:25:33.900 I saw someone on X yesterday say, I was making fun of the Greta boat thing, and it said,

00:25:42.980 you know, Michael, I don't agree with Greta Thunberg on everything. 0.99

00:25:48.120 In fact, I don't agree with her on much of anything at all.

00:25:51.560 But she has shown great courage and character over the last few months, much more so than

00:25:58.600 you and some of those other conservatives.

00:26:00.700 She's shown great courage and character and clarity on the free Palestine movement.

00:26:06.160 I thought, okay, hold on.

00:26:09.100 This is my whole argument.

00:26:10.420 I don't care all that much about the Israel-Palestine issue.

00:26:14.180 I'm not a Muslim.

00:26:14.880 I'm not a Jew. 0.89

00:26:15.420 I'm a Catholic, so I'm a little bit of an outsider on this particular conflict.

00:26:21.200 And I don't really know all that much about the 3,000-year history of this conflict.

00:26:26.640 However, just as a rule of thumb, if you're telling me that Greta Thunberg is wrong about

00:26:35.820 everything, like all the way down to first principles is just really, really wrong about

00:26:40.980 basically everything.

00:26:42.180 But all of a sudden, you find yourself agreeing with her on this one issue, which means, coincidentally,

00:26:49.200 that all of a sudden, you find yourself agreeing with Democrats, Ivy League professors, Hollywood

00:26:57.060 celebrities, Islamists, all these other people that you would agree.

00:27:04.340 They're wrong.

00:27:04.840 All of those other people are also wrong about basically everything.

00:27:07.860 But you suddenly find yourself agreeing with them on this one issue, the Free Palestine 0.69

00:27:13.400 Movement.

00:27:14.680 Is it possible that you are the one who has erred?

00:27:19.700 Is it possible?

00:27:22.300 Again, I understand that's not an argument from the issue per se.

00:27:26.360 I'm just saying, as a rule of thumb, do you think it's likely that disparate groups of

00:27:33.420 people who are often on each other's side, who are wrong about everything, as you would

00:27:40.960 admit, what are the odds that they just happen to be right about this thing?

00:27:45.740 And the conservatives and the people like Donald Trump and the people like, I don't know, that

00:27:51.980 your favorite conservative intellectuals or media figures or activists or what, that those

00:27:59.220 people who are generally right about at least a lot of things, if not everything, if not even

00:28:05.620 most, they're just generally right, that they just happen to be totally wrong.

00:28:10.220 And Greta and the Islamists and the Democrats and the Ivy League professors and the Hollywood 0.98

00:28:14.620 celebrities just happen to be right.

00:28:15.620 What are the odds that that is true?

00:28:18.200 Seems to me a helpful and humble rule of thumb.

00:28:23.140 So, you know, if Greta and Hollywood and the Dems and the jihadis and like all these other

00:28:29.080 people are on one side, probably I should not be on that side.

00:28:32.960 Speaking of religion, there is a really unfortunate study that's come out from Pew Research.

00:28:44.880 Christianity is a losing share of the global population.

00:28:49.440 This actually relates to the previous story.

00:28:52.200 So, good news, Christianity is growing. 0.77

00:28:54.340 It is still growing.

00:28:57.180 However, it's losing share of world religions among the global population.

00:29:02.080 What are we losing share to?

00:29:04.420 Muslims.

00:29:05.800 So, I'll just read from it.

00:29:09.400 Even as the overall number of Christians counted as one group across denominations,

00:29:13.780 so that's with the splits, after the Protestantism, after the Eastern Orthodoxism,

00:29:21.020 the total number of Christians continues to climb to 2.3 billion.

00:29:25.440 Again, our share of the world's population decreased by 1.8 percentage points to 28.8,

00:29:32.940 a fall off largely driven by disaffiliation.

00:29:36.620 The Muslim population, on the other hand, increased by 1.8 percentage points to 25.6,

00:29:43.040 according to this Pew report.

00:29:44.400 And that is examining more than 2,700 census surveys and other surveys.

00:29:52.300 So, according to Pew Research's Conrad Hackett,

00:29:55.520 it's just striking that there was such a dramatic change in a 10-year period.

00:29:58.500 Because you might look at those numbers and say,

00:29:59.600 well, is that really that shocking?

00:30:01.000 Are these just regular trends?

00:30:01.960 No, no.

00:30:02.220 Pew says, no, this is shocking, actually.

00:30:04.600 During this time, the Muslim and Christian populations grew closer in size.

00:30:08.700 Muslims grew faster than any other major religion.

00:30:11.540 The reason that this is happening,

00:30:18.600 why are the Muslims gaining ground and the Christians losing ground?

00:30:21.580 The reason this is happening is because the Muslims believe their religion,

00:30:25.020 and we don't believe our religion.

00:30:27.840 In the West, that's broadly.

00:30:29.440 And not just the West.

00:30:30.460 Christianity actually is growing in places like Africa.

00:30:32.960 Christianity, even while it's really suppressed in Asia, still remains strong.

00:30:37.760 Europe is where it's cracking.

00:30:39.400 America, to a lesser degree, is where it's cracking.

00:30:42.160 Because we don't believe our religion.

00:30:43.380 Hilaire Belloc wrote about this.

00:30:44.840 Hilaire Belloc has a great book.

00:30:46.440 I think it's in his book on the Crusades,

00:30:48.260 where he says, look, had the Crusaders,

00:30:51.920 the Crusades, which, by the way, were a defensive war

00:30:53.920 and were a completely justified war,

00:30:55.920 undertaken by the Christians against the aggressive Muslims. 0.90

00:30:59.440 And at some point, we should do a series on the Crusades,

00:31:01.940 because it's deeply misunderstood.

00:31:03.740 But we came close to winning in the Crusades, the Christian forces. 0.97

00:31:09.380 In a way, had the Crusades really been successful,

00:31:11.240 we could have reunited the East and the West after the Great Sism. 0.89

00:31:14.100 Regardless.

00:31:15.460 Hilaire Belloc says, had we taken Damascus and held Damascus,

00:31:20.360 Islam would have been broken. 1.00

00:31:22.020 Islam would not have survived. 1.00

00:31:23.520 But we didn't.

00:31:26.240 We failed.

00:31:27.440 And so, our religion is the one that has cracked up

00:31:30.240 into a zillion different schisms

00:31:32.040 and broken the political unity of Europe and all the rest.

00:31:37.280 Islam, and Hilaire Belloc's writing, what was this, 1930 or something?

00:31:40.520 He's writing from a period when Islam was relatively dormant.

00:31:43.300 He said, Islam remains fundamentally intact,

00:31:45.400 and it's going to come back.

00:31:46.480 And it's going to come back in a strong way.

00:31:48.120 That's what we're seeing happen.

00:31:50.720 Because we don't believe our religion, really.

00:31:53.360 And they do.

00:31:54.800 And these are religions that are not compatible. 0.98

00:31:57.080 It's kind of funny.

00:31:57.960 There are people who will, they'll say, you know,

00:32:01.680 hey, I have this idea.

00:32:02.540 We need a new political coalition.

00:32:04.580 We're going to have a brand new political coalition.

00:32:06.840 And we're going to be allies with the Muslims now.

00:32:11.180 And we're, even some people say,

00:32:13.020 we'll be allies with the Muslims,

00:32:14.120 it'll be tougher on the Jews,

00:32:15.140 because they're fighting, you know, in Israel, Palestine.

00:32:16.800 You say, oh, that's a, well, what an interesting idea.

00:32:18.960 We're going to, all of a sudden,

00:32:19.700 have a great alliance with the Muslims.

00:32:21.200 Look, I want to win some Muslim votes

00:32:23.280 in places like Michigan and elsewhere.

00:32:25.100 But, you know, we have been fighting,

00:32:27.780 as a civilization, we've been fighting against Islam 1.00

00:32:31.100 for about 1,400 years.

00:32:34.840 You know, within a century or so,

00:32:36.380 of the founding of Islam,

00:32:38.220 the Muslim forces were 150 miles outside of Paris,

00:32:40.800 the Battle of Poitiers.

00:32:42.540 Okay, this is,

00:32:43.380 and then they tried to come in again

00:32:44.700 at the Battle of Lepanto.

00:32:45.460 Then they tried to come in again

00:32:46.200 at the Battle of Vienna.

00:32:46.860 Now they're coming in again,

00:32:47.600 and they're being welcomed by the European Union.

00:32:49.520 This is a longer civilizational conflict

00:32:51.900 than just your lifetime.

00:32:53.800 Okay?

00:32:54.100 And if we don't get serious about our faith,

00:32:57.320 we're going to lose that civilizational conflict.

00:33:00.760 And frankly, there won't need to be a shot fired.

00:33:04.380 If we lose the,

00:33:04.980 Hilaire Belloc made another great point,

00:33:06.340 very controversial point.

00:33:07.600 I forget if it was in that book

00:33:08.480 or in a different book.

00:33:09.500 He wrote so many.

00:33:10.760 He said, the faith is Europe,

00:33:11.820 and Europe is the faith.

00:33:14.040 Provocative statement,

00:33:14.660 but understood in a modest way,

00:33:18.640 just saying the only thing

00:33:19.640 that gives coherence to Europe is the faith.

00:33:22.380 You lose the faith,

00:33:23.320 you lose Europe.

00:33:24.220 Look around that continent.

00:33:25.980 Look around our own country

00:33:26.800 as an extension of Europe.

00:33:29.460 Hard not to see the coincidence.

00:33:33.100 Your dad gave you common sense,

00:33:35.020 grit,

00:33:35.640 half your DNA,

00:33:36.620 and the ability to spot nonsense

00:33:38.100 when you hear it.

00:34:03.420 My favorite comment yesterday

00:34:04.880 is from Shumapadu1141,

00:34:08.760 who says,

00:34:09.420 when that Mexico flag waved,

00:34:10.980 it was on then.

00:34:12.640 This is what allowed Trump

00:34:13.840 to send in the military.

00:34:15.080 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:34:16.980 It was just so,

00:34:18.620 such a tactical error

00:34:20.520 from the libs.

00:34:21.720 Some of them knew it,

00:34:23.580 but they were kind of shouted down.

00:34:24.880 The ones who said,

00:34:25.320 maybe we should wave

00:34:25.780 the American flag.

00:34:26.420 I mean, I know

00:34:27.160 a small number of patriotic liberals,

00:34:29.740 very liberal people,

00:34:30.840 usually older,

00:34:32.240 very liberal,

00:34:33.000 but very patriotic.

00:34:34.620 Dying breed.

00:34:35.360 because of the logic of liberalism,

00:34:39.100 which forces you

00:34:41.020 to turn on

00:34:42.240 your family

00:34:44.540 and your God

00:34:45.440 and your beliefs,

00:34:46.660 sometimes your own sex

00:34:47.660 and your country.

00:34:48.980 To liberate yourself

00:34:50.740 from everything

00:34:51.440 that could place

00:34:52.020 any constraint on you,

00:34:53.300 certainly which includes the country,

00:34:54.880 certainly includes the nation.

00:34:56.300 So they have to be,

00:34:57.560 they have to wave

00:34:58.280 the flags of other countries,

00:34:59.480 but

00:35:00.140 that's very damaging

00:35:01.940 to their political movement.

00:35:02.880 Okay, speaking of moral frameworks,

00:35:04.980 a lady has gone viral

00:35:05.900 for talking to her daughter

00:35:08.100 about her daughter's

00:35:09.980 supposed in-utero memories.

00:35:12.480 Listen to this.

00:35:13.600 It says,

00:35:13.940 everything my daughter says

00:35:15.320 she remembers

00:35:15.780 while being in my belly.

00:35:17.420 Your favorite food

00:35:18.380 that you ate in my belly?

00:35:20.480 Corn.

00:35:22.040 I love corn.

00:35:23.640 The baby loves corn.

00:35:25.280 I did eat corn.

00:35:26.540 Was it really bright in there

00:35:27.660 or was it dark?

00:35:28.640 It was dark.

00:35:30.500 It was dark?

00:35:31.760 Yes.

00:35:32.200 What did it sound like in there?

00:35:34.120 It sounded like music.

00:35:36.100 It sounded like my sound machine

00:35:39.620 in my room?

00:35:40.600 Yes.

00:35:41.900 No way.

00:35:43.500 Music.

00:35:44.440 I was hearing music.

00:35:46.060 You were hearing music?

00:35:47.360 I was sleeping.

00:35:48.440 I was sleeping in your belly.

00:35:50.500 You were sleeping in my belly?

00:35:52.480 Yes.

00:35:53.360 You were sleeping in my belly,

00:35:54.660 eating my food.

00:35:55.560 It was dark.

00:35:56.500 It sounded like music,

00:35:57.980 like the sound machine in my room.

00:36:00.400 A lot of space in there

00:36:01.340 or was it really tight?

00:36:02.780 It was very tight.

00:36:04.220 It was very tight?

00:36:05.480 Yes.

00:36:06.360 I couldn't get out.

00:36:07.680 You couldn't get out?

00:36:08.760 No.

00:36:09.340 Were you comfortable in there though?

00:36:10.960 No.

00:36:11.580 You weren't?

00:36:12.260 No.

00:36:13.260 Okay, so this is,

00:36:14.500 how cute, isn't it?

00:36:15.680 This is really cute.

00:36:17.260 Probably this is just

00:36:18.400 a little girl with an imagination

00:36:19.760 and the mother's clearly

00:36:21.200 leading her on.

00:36:21.800 You know, she goes,

00:36:22.440 was there a lot of room in there

00:36:23.640 or was it really, really tight?

00:36:25.220 You know,

00:36:25.360 what do you think

00:36:25.660 the kid's going to say?

00:36:26.380 He's going to say,

00:36:26.860 oh, probably the thing

00:36:27.620 that got my mother excited.

00:36:28.540 That's what it was.

00:36:29.220 You know,

00:36:29.540 so it's all these

00:36:30.000 leading questions, whatever.

00:36:31.080 What's interesting about this

00:36:32.120 is not that the little girl

00:36:33.660 can remember being in the womb,

00:36:34.700 which she almost certainly cannot.

00:36:36.160 What's interesting about this

00:36:37.240 is that the mother

00:36:38.160 believes that the little girl

00:36:40.560 remembers when she was in the womb

00:36:41.820 and delights

00:36:43.260 in the girl's supposed memories

00:36:45.640 of being in the womb

00:36:46.340 and then writes this

00:36:48.680 in the caption.

00:36:50.700 Wait, I actually believe

00:36:51.800 that she does remember some things

00:36:53.000 because all the comments

00:36:53.800 she made

00:36:54.520 actually made so much sense.

00:36:55.760 Am I crazy?

00:36:56.240 Before this gets misconstrued,

00:36:58.260 to be clear,

00:36:59.500 all caps,

00:37:00.540 pro-life propaganda

00:37:01.800 is not welcome here.

00:37:04.000 And all caps,

00:37:05.280 you do not have my permission

00:37:06.700 to use my video

00:37:07.680 to support your opinions.

00:37:08.740 Haha, well,

00:37:09.100 that's what I'm doing, lady.

00:37:09.820 So tough.

00:37:11.540 Using my video

00:37:12.420 to further justify

00:37:13.160 your own bias point of view

00:37:14.260 and mislead

00:37:15.420 what the actual context

00:37:16.200 of the video is

00:37:16.800 is by definition propaganda.

00:37:18.380 I don't even know

00:37:18.900 what those words mean.

00:37:20.080 I don't think that she knows

00:37:21.100 what that means.

00:37:22.240 I'm misleading

00:37:22.880 what the context of the video is.

00:37:24.140 I just played the video.

00:37:24.720 I'm going to tell you

00:37:25.100 what it means.

00:37:25.880 That's propaganda.

00:37:26.960 It's me articulating

00:37:29.360 my correct opinion of things.

00:37:31.620 What you're suggesting

00:37:32.440 is propaganda.

00:37:34.040 You're saying,

00:37:34.800 you know,

00:37:35.420 we're going to give

00:37:35.820 a very partial view

00:37:36.760 of the truth.

00:37:37.240 We're going to deny

00:37:37.960 uncomfortable truths

00:37:38.840 in advance of my

00:37:39.480 political ideology.

00:37:40.780 She goes,

00:37:41.280 it's really such a beautiful thing

00:37:43.300 when my daughter talks

00:37:43.960 about what she remembers

00:37:44.600 from the womb,

00:37:45.120 but here's the thing.

00:37:45.760 This moment is so special

00:37:46.580 because I chose to have her.

00:37:47.940 Hold on.

00:37:48.780 Wait, what?

00:37:50.000 Talk about propaganda.

00:37:51.020 So this woman believes 0.60

00:37:56.300 that her daughter

00:37:56.860 can remember

00:37:57.440 what she did in the womb.

00:37:59.520 And this woman

00:38:00.380 finds that so lovable,

00:38:01.980 so adorable,

00:38:02.860 so delightful

00:38:03.480 that she has to videotape it 0.62

00:38:05.580 and post it onto the internet.

00:38:06.880 But she knows

00:38:09.020 that that fact

00:38:11.540 undercuts

00:38:12.980 her other belief

00:38:14.300 in abortion. 1.00

00:38:15.760 Because if the baby

00:38:16.900 has memories

00:38:18.320 of what she did

00:38:19.140 in the womb,

00:38:19.880 then the baby

00:38:20.680 is really,

00:38:22.820 truly,

00:38:23.720 undeniably,

00:38:24.800 fully a human person

00:38:26.180 in the womb.

00:38:26.720 If you have memories

00:38:27.600 and you can remember them

00:38:28.500 outside of the womb,

00:38:29.820 by golly,

00:38:30.560 you are indistinguishable

00:38:32.980 even by the most liberal

00:38:34.560 and rigid definition

00:38:36.000 of personhood.

00:38:37.880 So,

00:38:38.700 she knows that.

00:38:39.800 She knows it undercuts

00:38:40.420 her abortion position.

00:38:42.420 So then,

00:38:42.700 why does she post the video? 1.00

00:38:44.460 She knows that this is

00:38:45.680 going to look bad

00:38:46.280 for her views on abortion.

00:38:47.440 She feels so strongly

00:38:48.320 about that

00:38:48.640 that she has to post

00:38:49.400 this long disclaimer

00:38:50.320 about how,

00:38:51.600 most of the post

00:38:52.340 is about how much

00:38:52.980 she loves abortion. 0.99

00:38:54.040 Even the video

00:38:54.740 has nothing to do with it.

00:38:55.900 Why?

00:38:56.320 Why would she post it?

00:38:57.640 Because she finds

00:38:58.980 the video so delightful

00:39:00.200 and lovable

00:39:00.660 and such a joy.

00:39:03.900 Because her motherly,

00:39:05.560 normal,

00:39:06.180 maternal instinct

00:39:07.160 is like,

00:39:07.540 oh,

00:39:07.680 this is so cute.

00:39:08.500 I just want to share

00:39:09.080 this cute little thing

00:39:09.860 with my kid

00:39:10.440 and she remembers

00:39:11.020 being in the womb

00:39:11.540 and that's so wonderful.

00:39:12.300 I love it that she's

00:39:12.900 in the womb.

00:39:13.240 It's my precious baby.

00:39:14.680 She got that.

00:39:15.940 But then she's also

00:39:16.700 being pulled

00:39:17.200 by feminism

00:39:17.960 and liberalism

00:39:18.860 and the pro-abortion

00:39:20.220 ideology.

00:39:20.980 But I have to,

00:39:22.240 but I still have to do

00:39:24.600 my responsibility

00:39:25.540 and justify killing

00:39:27.600 my precious daughter

00:39:28.360 whom I love so much.

00:39:29.200 Look what she said. 0.98

00:39:29.680 She remembers

00:39:30.000 the corner of the womb.

00:39:30.780 But I have to,

00:39:31.880 don't misconstrue this.

00:39:33.480 You should be able

00:39:34.160 to kill her if you want. 0.97

00:39:35.980 Kill your kid if you want. 0.73

00:39:37.520 It's good to kill your kid.

00:39:39.080 Actually,

00:39:39.500 the only thing

00:39:40.140 that makes this beautiful,

00:39:41.360 precious,

00:39:41.880 wonderful little video

00:39:43.020 so adorable

00:39:43.840 is the fact

00:39:44.960 that I chose

00:39:45.700 not to kill her.

00:39:46.760 Whoa, man, lady,

00:39:47.600 I'm getting whiplash.

00:39:48.720 I'm getting,

00:39:49.060 I'm going back.

00:39:49.740 What?

00:39:50.640 That's what she says.

00:39:52.120 She says,

00:39:52.740 this moment is so special

00:39:54.400 because I chose

00:39:55.160 to have her.

00:39:56.380 In other words,

00:39:56.860 because I chose

00:39:57.400 not to murder my daughter.

00:39:59.020 That's not,

00:39:59.520 I mean,

00:39:59.700 that does make it special.

00:40:00.620 I'm glad you didn't do that.

00:40:01.920 What makes it special

00:40:02.860 is that your cute little daughter

00:40:04.420 is speaking to you

00:40:05.820 and you're having

00:40:07.140 this meaningful conversation.

00:40:09.980 And what you think

00:40:10.780 makes it extra special

00:40:11.660 is that she has memories

00:40:13.000 from being inside

00:40:13.740 the womb.

00:40:15.120 What makes it notable

00:40:16.560 and remarkable

00:40:17.400 and the reason

00:40:17.880 you're posting it

00:40:18.640 is because

00:40:19.540 of this surprising discovery

00:40:22.200 you think you've made

00:40:23.160 that she was a human being

00:40:25.200 even in the womb.

00:40:26.800 That's the only reason,

00:40:27.740 otherwise it wouldn't be newsworthy.

00:40:29.720 If the little girl

00:40:30.560 was saying,

00:40:31.020 hey, mommy,

00:40:31.500 yesterday I really liked

00:40:32.360 those chicken nuggets,

00:40:33.140 she wouldn't post it.

00:40:33.900 It's not surprising.

00:40:35.020 What she finds so surprising

00:40:36.240 and delightful about it

00:40:36.900 is, oh my goodness,

00:40:37.920 I didn't think my daughter

00:40:38.840 was a person in the womb,

00:40:39.900 but actually she was

00:40:40.880 because she has these memories,

00:40:42.540 supposedly.

00:40:44.740 That's not the criterion

00:40:45.900 that distinguishes personhood,

00:40:48.900 but in whatever,

00:40:49.980 in her own very confused mind

00:40:51.180 that is,

00:40:52.280 and that's why she's posting it.

00:40:53.320 That's what matters.

00:40:53.860 That's why she's posting it.

00:40:55.500 But then she has to deny that.

00:40:57.580 She says,

00:40:57.860 no, no, no.

00:40:58.700 What makes this special

00:40:59.740 is I chose not to murder her.

00:41:00.940 I had the privilege

00:41:01.540 of access to care,

00:41:02.360 the ability to say yes

00:41:03.240 to motherhood

00:41:03.720 when I felt ready,

00:41:04.660 and I've worked so hard

00:41:05.480 to break cycles.

00:41:07.960 Break cycles of what?

00:41:08.940 And create safety

00:41:11.100 in our home.

00:41:12.580 This is what happens

00:41:13.360 when kids are brought

00:41:13.900 into the world

00:41:14.200 by someone who wanted them.

00:41:16.500 Not, you know,

00:41:17.340 those kids who are unwanted,

00:41:18.920 we got to chop their heads off. 0.94

00:41:20.320 We got to suction them out

00:41:21.220 and put them through a razor.

00:41:22.580 Because we don't,

00:41:23.240 even though the kid would look

00:41:24.240 just like my cute little daughter 0.86

00:41:25.140 right here,

00:41:25.600 but if they're not wanted,

00:41:28.140 you know,

00:41:28.300 if someone doesn't care for them,

00:41:29.740 then chop them up.

00:41:30.580 Who cares?

00:41:31.440 But for my precious daughter,

00:41:33.820 I would never have an abortion,

00:41:34.800 you see,

00:41:35.320 because my precious offspring

00:41:36.700 are too valuable.

00:41:38.560 But all you dirty poor people, 1.00

00:41:40.940 disproportionately black people, 1.00

00:41:42.680 all you filthy hoi polloi, 1.00

00:41:44.160 yeah, yeah,

00:41:44.440 chop up your kids. 0.89

00:41:45.140 I don't want them.

00:41:46.760 Who wants them?

00:41:47.500 But look how cute mine is.

00:41:50.120 Who had support.

00:41:51.380 Who was stable enough

00:41:52.160 to give them the kind of childhood

00:41:53.320 where they feel safe enough

00:41:54.340 to open up like that

00:41:55.300 about how they're real persons

00:41:56.300 in the womb

00:41:56.760 who sometimes get chopped up

00:41:58.600 by vacuums and razor blades

00:41:59.760 because of my ideology.

00:42:02.400 Maybe even access

00:42:03.580 those early memories

00:42:04.800 because trauma

00:42:05.460 hasn't cladded everything.

00:42:07.360 Yeah.

00:42:07.600 Well,

00:42:07.800 they certainly can't access

00:42:08.580 the early memories

00:42:09.220 if they undergo the trauma

00:42:10.180 of being suctioned out

00:42:11.200 with a vacuum

00:42:11.780 and thrown into razor blades

00:42:13.400 like you are advocating

00:42:14.560 in this post.

00:42:16.920 What a psycho, man.

00:42:19.260 It's not even that she's a psycho. 0.56

00:42:22.380 Unfortunately,

00:42:22.740 this point of view

00:42:23.360 is widespread.

00:42:24.840 She's just willfully ignorant 1.00

00:42:27.340 and in the thrall

00:42:30.700 of an evil

00:42:31.600 and stupid ideology

00:42:33.040 which describes

00:42:35.280 a lot of people.

00:42:37.320 I'm sorry to say.

00:42:38.620 It's not just that

00:42:39.460 she's got a low IQ 1.00

00:42:40.300 or something.

00:42:40.920 Maybe she does, 0.90

00:42:41.360 maybe she doesn't.

00:42:42.140 Plenty of people

00:42:42.500 with very high IQs

00:42:43.500 also become willfully ignorant

00:42:45.720 and in thrall.

00:42:47.240 In fact,

00:42:47.560 maybe disproportionately

00:42:48.260 people with high IQs

00:42:49.080 become in thrall to

00:42:50.140 evil

00:42:51.440 and very stupid ideologies.

00:42:55.260 So yeah,

00:42:55.780 it's magical

00:42:56.260 but it's not random.

00:42:57.100 It's the result

00:43:01.080 of choice,

00:43:01.780 resources,

00:43:02.360 and healing.

00:43:04.480 What?

00:43:05.180 Now we're truly

00:43:06.380 in just woo-woo,

00:43:07.520 wine mom,

00:43:08.220 gobbledygook liberalism.

00:43:10.120 It's not random.

00:43:11.120 It's the result of choice.

00:43:13.460 Yeah, okay.

00:43:13.920 You chose not to kill her.

00:43:14.840 That's great.

00:43:16.040 So now you can discover

00:43:17.060 that she was a person

00:43:17.920 even in your womb

00:43:18.680 which you love so much

00:43:20.280 you have to post for everyone

00:43:21.200 but which you then

00:43:21.940 in the same breath

00:43:22.820 have to deny.

00:43:24.320 Okay.

00:43:25.760 How about you just

00:43:26.480 follow your gut, lady?

00:43:27.700 You know,

00:43:27.880 this is kind of,

00:43:28.400 this is what a lot

00:43:29.600 of my political philosophy

00:43:30.580 comes down to.

00:43:31.600 Just your gut

00:43:32.500 is usually right.

00:43:34.080 I know you're not allowed

00:43:34.820 to say this.

00:43:35.440 Prejudice,

00:43:36.120 usually right.

00:43:38.280 This is what

00:43:39.340 the conservative

00:43:39.860 political philosophy

00:43:41.140 largely comes down to.

00:43:44.320 You know things

00:43:45.440 intuitively.

00:43:46.220 You know things

00:43:47.120 in a way in the womb.

00:43:49.380 And the natural laws

00:43:50.360 inscribed on every human heart

00:43:51.700 and our conscious

00:43:53.980 stock of reason

00:43:54.640 is relatively small

00:43:55.660 and you're not going

00:43:57.160 to be able to write

00:43:57.660 a doctoral dissertation

00:43:58.880 about every single decision

00:44:00.080 you're going to make in life

00:44:00.980 and you're going to operate

00:44:02.800 off of prejudgment

00:44:03.840 which is also known

00:44:04.780 as prejudice

00:44:05.300 and that's not a bad thing.

00:44:07.900 Liberalism tells you

00:44:08.720 prejudice is bad

00:44:09.640 and it can be unjust.

00:44:11.260 You want to make sure

00:44:11.820 it's subject to reason

00:44:12.620 but you can go

00:44:14.880 with your gut, lady.

00:44:16.540 And when that,

00:44:17.520 when your little daughter

00:44:18.120 was in your guts

00:44:18.860 you knew she was a person

00:44:20.680 and now that she's out

00:44:21.800 you know she's a person

00:44:22.660 still

00:44:23.800 and the little girl

00:44:25.020 seems to know

00:44:25.600 that she was a person

00:44:26.240 even when she was

00:44:26.880 in your womb 0.73

00:44:27.260 and you can just

00:44:27.660 go with that.

00:44:29.320 If you need to work

00:44:30.220 this hard

00:44:30.840 to convince yourself

00:44:31.680 that your daughter

00:44:32.260 at some point

00:44:33.520 wasn't a human being

00:44:34.780 give up that ideology.

00:44:38.020 It's not worth it.
