00:00:37.920 Before we get started today, I'm very excited about a new project that we've been working on.
00:00:41.740 An original docu-series that uncovers one of the most distorted historical narratives of the 20th and 21st centuries.
00:00:50.620 This series is called The Pope and the Fuhrer, The Secret Vatican Files of World War II.
00:00:56.400 For decades, Pope Pius XII, one of the most consequential men of the 20th century, one of the best men of the 20th century, has been slandered and maligned.
00:01:05.660 He has been condemned for his supposed silence during the rise of Hitler and Nazism.
00:01:10.880 The narrative was always false.
00:01:12.500 It was total BS.
00:01:13.420 It was peddled by enemies of the church for a very long time.
00:01:16.200 Now, with unprecedented access to the Vatican's wartime archives, we uncover what really happened, why the truth was hidden for so long.
00:01:23.700 The series premieres Wednesday, August 13th, exclusively on DAILYWIRE+.
00:01:27.500 Here's a little look at the trailer.
00:01:31.200 History is written by the victors.
00:01:32.960 But what if the victors got it wrong?
00:01:40.860 For 80 years, the world has condemned one man as the Pope of Silence, the man who stood by in the face of shocking evil.
00:01:48.940 But can we trust the popular narrative, even after all these years?
00:01:57.540 This is not just a story about Hitler and the Holocaust.
00:02:00.020 One of the worst lies ever told about the Catholic Church is what she did or did not do in one of modernity's darkest hours.
00:02:09.800 Now, for the first time, the Vatican's secret archive is open, and the truth is far more shocking than the fiction.
00:02:17.180 Propagandists have peddled one story for decades.
00:02:20.120 But now we can definitively know better.
00:02:22.460 Join me in this four-part series, where we will discover the true story of Pope Pius XII, Hitler, and the Second World War.
00:02:33.440 The Pope and the Fuhrer.
00:02:34.900 Four episodes, nearly an hour each.
00:02:37.020 Not one second wasted.
00:02:38.680 Daily Wire Plus members can start streaming August 13th.
00:02:41.120 If you're not a member yet, you're out of your mind.
00:02:42.780 Go to dailywireplus.com.
00:02:45.520 Now into the news.
00:02:47.500 You might want to, if you've had breakfast recently, sit down, try not to lose it over this if you're driving, pull over.
00:02:55.440 A homosexual couple has gone viral on social media for showcasing their surrogacy journey to purchase a baby boy.
00:03:03.000 And just 24 hours after the two men collected all the likes and shares and retweets on their video kissing the little child,
00:03:10.300 one of the men has been revealed to be a registered child sex offender.
00:03:14.120 Distressingly, the men appear still to have custody of the child.
00:03:19.880 Even more distressingly, at least from a political standpoint,
00:03:23.340 many people continue to defend gay adoption and surrogacy based on supposedly scientific claims
00:03:29.980 that have been completely and repeatedly debunked.
00:03:34.240 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:34.980 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:35.760 Welcome back to the show.
00:03:56.680 Terrible news for the panicans.
00:03:59.040 Wonderful news for Americans.
00:04:01.000 President Trump has just inked a trade deal with the EU.
00:04:06.100 And I'm not just saying this because I support the guy and I'm inclined to like him and celebrate his wins.
00:04:12.900 This is a phenomenal deal.
00:04:14.560 This is better than even the most bullish Trump supporters thought we were going to get.
00:04:17.920 I have many, many more pearls of wisdom to give you.
00:04:21.020 First, though, you need to go to oldglorybank.com slash Knowles.
00:04:24.100 Here is an uncomfortable truth.
00:04:26.200 Most big banks in this country are not just neutral.
00:04:28.380 They are actively working against you.
00:04:31.260 They take the money you deposit and use it to fund agendas that oppose faith, family, and freedom.
00:04:35.380 Gender ideology, abortion activism, ESG mandates, you name it.
00:04:38.900 You are unknowingly helping them do it.
00:04:40.500 I recently had an issue with this where a major financial processor debanked me.
00:04:45.960 Now, they ultimately came up with a good explanation for this as to why they were impelled to do it by this company
00:04:53.180 and this government and this, that, and the other thing.
00:04:55.180 It was all resolved.
00:04:55.960 It was all a big mistake, but I didn't even know.
00:04:59.880 Consumers don't even have a right to know.
00:05:01.560 You can be debanked and not even be told why.
00:05:05.720 Don't deal with those banks that are going to do that to you.
00:05:09.940 Open an account at Old Glory Bank.
00:05:11.480 I love Old Glory Bank.
00:05:12.580 It's an FDIC, insured bank built by people who fear God, love this country, still believe in right and wrong.
00:05:18.100 They don't fund evil.
00:05:19.220 They don't cancel people for standing up for truth.
00:05:21.220 They protect your money and your values.
00:05:23.360 It's super easy.
00:05:24.280 The minute I found out about Old Glory, I could go over there, set up the account, super-duper quick,
00:05:30.920 and then you know you're banking with someone that will support you.
00:05:33.700 If you believe stewardship matters, put your money where your heart is.
00:05:36.240 It only takes minutes to switch.
00:05:37.540 Stop letting your money serve the wrong side.
00:05:39.540 Join me with their tens of thousands of customers on the right side of banking at oldglorybank.com slash Knowles,
00:05:45.440 oldglorybank.com slash Knowles.
00:05:48.200 So much to get to.
00:05:49.060 The Trump deal, this horrific story about the homosexual couple purchasing the baby through surrogacy.
00:05:56.900 Really important scientific information you need to know to debate this issue at the water cooler.
00:06:00.900 First, though, another terrible story.
00:06:02.880 Really, at least, thank goodness we have the Trump story in the news today.
00:06:05.700 Because really tough stuff in the news.
00:06:07.700 There was a big shooting in New York yesterday.
00:06:09.960 This was in Midtown East, very mainstream part of New York, where a lot of tourists go, where a lot of people work.
00:06:16.480 There was a shooter, killed at least five people in a Midtown office building.
00:06:21.400 He's identified as a 27-year-old Las Vegas man.
00:06:25.980 He killed himself.
00:06:27.160 I guess that was the relatively happy outcome at the end.
00:06:30.340 But in the meantime, he killed a number of people, including at least one New York Police Department officer
00:06:36.060 who was trying to stop him.
00:06:38.200 And it's a terribly, terribly sad story.
00:06:40.700 When these stories happen, no matter if they're in New York or L.A. or anywhere, Palookaville,
00:06:45.380 they're very, very sad.
00:06:47.960 But they're not all that surprising.
00:06:49.480 Democrats treat them as though they're surprising.
00:06:51.180 And as though there were some policy solution on guns, say, that could stop this stuff.
00:06:57.100 And that's not really true.
00:06:58.580 There are certain policies that could reduce the likelihood of these terribly violent incidents,
00:07:03.900 like being tougher on crime, like securing our border.
00:07:07.280 In this case, it might not have done anything, but it would stop a lot of violent crime because
00:07:10.900 you have unvetted people, many of them criminals coming across the border.
00:07:13.720 There are common sense policies that you could do to maybe reduce the likelihood of these incidents,
00:07:18.660 but you're not going to stop them entirely.
00:07:22.720 And in fact, when it comes to the gun control laws, there's really no gun control law proposed
00:07:26.120 in my lifetime that would have stopped these incidents.
00:07:30.040 So there's nothing really to do other than pray for the dead and pray for the living as well
00:07:36.840 and try to work around the edges to limit the possibility of these crimes.
00:07:41.060 But there's no silver bullet solution to this kind of problem.
00:07:44.540 And it's very unsatisfying to liberals.
00:07:46.140 And the liberals will get angry when you say that.
00:07:47.980 And they'll mock you even for praying.
00:07:50.040 They don't have any better solutions.
00:07:51.760 So they'll mock you and say, that's ineffective to pray.
00:07:54.240 How dare you suggest such an impotent solution?
00:07:58.400 But they don't have any better answer.
00:08:01.060 So really, the only two reactions are you've got people generally on the right who pray and
00:08:07.140 who grieve with people.
00:08:08.760 And then you got people on the left who just express wrath.
00:08:13.180 But that's it.
00:08:13.960 Those are really your two options.
00:08:16.940 Humility, prayer, grief, compassion, on one hand, or wrath.
00:08:22.980 There's not much of a political conclusion to draw from this.
00:08:27.260 You could even say, some people on the right say, well, these shootings wouldn't have happened
00:08:31.120 if people had been permitted to carry guns in the office.
00:08:34.220 Maybe that's true.
00:08:35.080 People tend to be a little more polite when you don't know if the guy next to you is carrying a gun.
00:08:39.100 But even that, the research on that is a little bit mixed.
00:08:41.980 So there's no simple political solution to the fallenness of the world.
00:08:48.420 There's no simple political solution to Cain killing Abel.
00:08:51.060 You know, it's just kind of a fact of a fallen world.
00:08:53.440 So we want to identify threats earlier.
00:08:54.980 We want to pray for the dead.
00:08:55.800 We want to pray for the people who are grieving right now.
00:08:59.320 What is political, what can be addressed politically, is the reaction of many, including in the media.
00:09:08.080 CNN went viral yesterday for this reaction, which is also not surprising, by the way, but it probably should be.
00:09:14.660 Here is how CNN covered the story.
00:09:17.460 Former deputy director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, is with us as well.
00:09:23.240 And, Andy, I just want to ask you, you talk about a 40-floor, a 44-story building, as Brian is reporting.
00:09:30.060 And what John Miller just said, there were a few things that really stood out there.
00:09:34.840 Among them that they did get, they do know what he looks like.
00:09:38.020 Sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white.
00:09:41.080 Male, possibly white.
00:09:42.220 Okay, so we're getting info now.
00:09:44.720 We don't know very much, but we do know he's possibly white.
00:09:48.820 We have a picture of the suspected shooter, alleged shooter.
00:09:55.560 He is the least white-looking person you've ever seen in your entire life.
00:10:01.340 This guy, I won't even say his name.
00:10:04.000 If you're just listening right now, he ain't white.
00:10:08.180 He ain't white.
00:10:08.600 But CNN, which never wants to speculate, if there is an Islamic terror attack committed by a guy named Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed, Abdul Mohammed, they will not speculate on any of the motives or the background of the shooter.
00:10:22.680 But in this case, where they know nothing about what's going on, they immediately speculate to say, well, he's possibly white.
00:10:30.280 And I guess technically that was true.
00:10:31.800 He was possibly white from the standpoint of CNN because CNN didn't know anything.
00:10:36.160 So from the standpoint of CNN's ignorance, it was possible that he could turn out to be white, though he wasn't, and there was no evidence that he was.
00:10:46.440 What is politically effective, the sort of thing that we can act on politically from this reaction is just a recognition of something that we already knew,
00:10:58.320 which is that the political order does harbor, as the left argues, it does harbor certain racial biases and religious biases and sexual biases and all the rest.
00:11:09.660 That is true.
00:11:10.640 When the Libs argue and they say, this is not merely a tabula rasa, this is not merely a neutral political order that treats everyone equally.
00:11:18.540 Some people are treated better than others on the basis of race and religion and sex.
00:11:22.680 That is true.
00:11:23.740 It's just the opposite of what they say it is.
00:11:26.820 So a non-white person will always be given every single benefit of the doubt.
00:11:31.540 A white person will always be considered guilty until proven innocent because of the sin of whiteness.
00:11:37.080 A non-Christian will always be given the benefit of the doubt.
00:11:41.380 A Christian will always be suspected of harboring hatred and bigotry and all manner of egregious sin.
00:11:47.460 A straight person will always be suspected of all manner of evil.
00:11:54.120 Anyone who can identify as an LGBT LMNOP person will always be given every single benefit of the doubt,
00:11:59.900 even into the realm of the farcical and the implausible.
00:12:03.060 That's just how it goes.
00:12:04.320 I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but when the establishment media reveal themselves to be what they are,
00:12:12.600 when they expose themselves, it's important to pay attention.
00:12:14.980 Just to remind yourself, they're good sometimes at hypnotizing you.
00:12:18.740 Just pay attention.
00:12:19.620 You look at this.
00:12:21.620 There's not even really much of a conclusion to be drawn from the race of the shooter in this particular instance in a mass shooting.
00:12:30.720 The only political conclusion to be drawn is about our media and about the broader political order.
00:12:35.880 Just a little reminder, tuck that one away for next time.
00:12:37.960 Okay, speaking of horrifying stories and the LGBT LMNOP community and contradicting liberal narratives is a video that's gone viral of two homosexual men who purchased a child and are kissing the child,
00:12:53.520 I guess on the child's birthday or something like that.
00:12:55.780 And it's supposed to be heartwarming and they're getting all the likes and the retweets and the shares.
00:12:59.640 And some people were making snide comments.
00:13:04.140 Some people were assuming that these men were sexually depraved and that bad things could befall this child.
00:13:10.480 And when those people made those claims, everyone else on social media rushed and said,
00:13:15.200 that's terrible, that's prejudice, that's bigoted, how dare you, it's phobic.
00:13:18.780 24 hours later, you're not going to believe what we've uncovered.
00:13:23.240 I have many more pearls of wisdom to drop.
00:13:25.340 First, though, go to selectquote.com slash Knowles.
00:13:29.560 With everything going on in the world lately, it is no wonder people are focused on protecting their financial future.
00:13:34.720 One option you might not have considered recently is life insurance, which gets significantly more expensive as you age.
00:13:40.080 The difference is dramatic.
00:13:41.340 What you would pay in your 20s or 30s could easily double by your 40s.
00:13:45.040 That is why it's time to look into SelectQuote.

00:14:44.280 Two men have gone viral for this video.
00:14:47.680 Only listening right now, there's two homosexuals wearing T-shirts, holding up a poor little baby, kissing him on the head, blowing out cupcakes, I guess it's birthdays or something, wearing little Christmas outfits.
00:15:05.520 Two giant homosexual men who somehow have acquired a baby and who keep kissing the baby.
00:15:17.440 Okay, I've seen enough.
00:15:19.960 So this video is going around and it's wrong.
00:15:22.240 If you knew nothing else about the video, you would say it's just wrong because a baby has been deprived of a mother.
00:15:31.360 And if you think that women contribute anything to the world at all, if you think that men contribute something to the world that women can't quite contribute and women contribute something to the world that men can't quite contribute,
00:15:42.300 if you think there's a purpose for the existence of women, then you have to be nauseated at that video.
00:15:49.040 Because what that video represents is that two men went to the baby store, spent money to create a child with the express intention of depriving that child of his natural mother.
00:15:59.680 One of the most important bonds that a human being will ever have, that especially little babies have, the most important bond that a little baby has in this world,
00:16:07.840 intentionally being severed for the selfishness of sexually deviant men.
00:16:11.760 So already absolutely nauseating off the top if you didn't know anything else.
00:16:16.180 But we do know something else because Redux is reporting, I'll use their exact words, this is their reporting, not mine.
00:16:25.760 Just 24 hours after the video went viral on social media, it has been confirmed that one of the men in the video is a registered child sex offender.
00:16:34.240 Brandon Keith Mitchell is a tier one sex offender in the state of Pennsylvania and was arrested in 2016 after attempting to solicit a 16-year-old boy for sexual abuse.
00:16:42.480 He was a 30-year-old teacher at the time, reportedly.
00:16:46.320 According to records released by the Chester County District Attorney's Office and the Downington Police Department, Mitchell solicited the boy to send him nude photographs.
00:16:53.980 He also told the victim he wanted to watch him perform a sexual act and sent the victim approximately 20 nude photographs of himself.
00:17:01.480 I think those two men still have that baby.
00:17:08.320 I think, shockingly, and presumably this was known, he was already a registered child sex offender eight years ago, nine years ago now.
00:17:18.400 Somehow he got the baby anyway.
00:17:20.040 Because our political order says that he's a married man, maybe he made a mistake in the past, but he's a married man, he's totally in a real marriage, and married people are allowed to adopt.
00:17:32.700 And married people are even, in our depraved culture, allowed to go to the baby store and purchase babies like they're handbags.
00:17:38.660 And we're not allowed to judge or discriminate or come to any conclusions that every society for all of history would have come to.
00:17:44.760 Now, I can already hear the chorus of my critics on the left and some on the squishy right.
00:17:53.900 They're going to say, Michael, you're honing in on one really unfortunate example of homosexuals adopting or purchasing a child where one of them is a sex offender.
00:18:06.020 But that is not the norm.
00:18:09.000 You're focusing in in a way that's unfair.
00:18:11.420 In fact, Michael, and this is going to be the kicker, they're going to say, scientific studies show that children raised in same-sex households do just as well as children raised in households with a mother and a father.
00:18:28.540 The science shows it, Michael, and you're bigoted and you're a science denier.
00:18:32.320 This is a claim.
00:18:32.980 And the claim, like a lot of these political propaganda claims, has a little tiny kernel of apparent almost but not quite truth to it.
00:18:43.260 It comes from a 2010 study by Michael Rosenfeld from Stanford.
00:18:48.860 And the study finds, this is the conclusion, its own words.
00:18:52.000 The prior literature has found no evidence that children raised by same-sex couples suffer any important disadvantages.
00:19:02.380 There it is.
00:19:02.880 And you'll hear every LGBT LMNOP activists talk about this.
00:19:06.300 And you will hear everyone defending that video cite this study.
00:19:10.740 The problem is that conclusion is false.
00:19:15.260 And the study is bogus.
00:19:16.860 And all of the other studies show the opposite.
00:19:19.040 I don't know of literally all of the other studies, but many, many, many studies.
00:19:24.480 For all intents and purposes, all of the other studies show the opposite.
00:19:27.160 There might be some other bogus study too.
00:19:28.820 Here's the reality.
00:19:30.900 Here's a study, 2013, out of Canada by Douglas Allen, Simon Fraser University.
00:19:36.140 Analyzed data from a very large population-based sample.
00:19:39.380 Found that children of gay and lesbian couples are 65% as likely to have graduated from high school
00:19:46.380 as are the children of married opposite-sex couples, 65%.
00:19:51.080 That's a failing grade, last I checked.
00:19:55.780 The children who are raised by two fellas or two lesbians are 35% less likely to graduate from high school.
00:20:07.420 Now, this backs up a study that was conducted quite a while prior.
00:20:11.060 1996, out of Australia, Soterios Sarantakos, Cambridge University Press published it.
00:20:16.620 Study of 174 primary school children in Australia compared the social and educational development
00:20:22.740 of 58 children living in married families, 58 living with cohabitating heterosexuals,
00:20:29.800 man and a woman living together, not married, living in sin,
00:20:32.140 and 58 living in homosexual unions.
00:20:35.040 The authors found that married couples offer the best environment for a child's social and educational development.
00:20:39.960 So, the normal married actual couple, mommy and daddy,
00:20:43.620 followed by cohabitating heterosexual couples, followed by homosexual couples.
00:20:50.340 Without question, the kids raised by two daddies or two mommies do the worst.
00:20:55.240 Without question.
00:20:56.300 Now, you might say, well, that was 96.
00:20:57.740 That was before the gay rights movement.
00:20:59.460 There has been so much progress since then.
00:21:01.920 No.
00:21:03.300 2007, Abby Goldberg out of Clark University has a study
00:21:06.220 of 36 adults raised by lesbian, gay, and bisexual parents.
00:21:11.420 15 of them, this is 42% of adults raised by LGB parents,
00:21:15.420 described challenges relating to their ability to trust other people.
00:21:19.420 42% of these people raised by two mommies or two daddies
00:21:23.180 or just otherwise sexually bizarre parents.
00:21:27.040 42% say they have a difficulty trusting other people.
00:21:29.760 Now, you might say, well, that's just a small sample size.
00:21:31.320 Okay, 2009, Theodora Sirota, Seton Hall University.
00:21:36.340 A study of 68 women with gay and bisexual fathers
00:21:39.140 and 68 women with heterosexual fathers
00:21:41.220 found that women with gay or bisexual fathers
00:21:43.540 had difficulty in adult attachment areas.
00:21:46.640 They were, one, less comfortable with closeness and intimacy.
00:21:50.040 Two, less able to trust and depend on others.
00:21:52.260 Three, experienced more anxiety in relationships
00:21:54.260 compared with women raised by heterosexual fathers and mothers.
00:21:58.100 Okay, well, Michael, that's still a small sample size.
00:22:02.020 Okay, let's keep going.
00:22:03.240 2012, Daniel Potter, American Institutes for Research.
00:22:06.140 A study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family
00:22:09.280 found that, quote, children in same-sex parent families
00:22:12.300 scored lower than their peers living in married
00:22:14.420 two biological parent households on two academic outcomes.
00:22:18.000 And then we got a really, really big study.
00:22:20.580 If you want just one really big study
00:22:22.660 to shut down this ridiculous argument
00:22:24.780 that two mommies or two daddies is exactly the same
00:22:28.160 as a mommy and a daddy.
00:22:28.940 And everyone turns out the same.
00:22:30.740 Something that we all know intuitively is not true.
00:22:32.820 If you think that men or women
00:22:35.280 contribute anything to the world,
00:22:36.640 you intuitively know that isn't true.
00:22:38.060 There was a 2012 study out of the University of Texas at Austin.
00:22:42.000 This found that young adult children,
00:22:45.180 ages 18 to 39,
00:22:46.860 of parents who had same-sex relationships
00:22:48.380 before the subjects had reached the age of 18,
00:22:51.560 were more likely to suffer from a broad range
00:22:54.480 of emotional and social problems.
00:22:57.000 This is the kicker.
00:22:58.480 The children of lesbians and gay men
00:23:01.580 fared worse than those in intact heterosexual families
00:23:06.420 on 77 out of 80 outcomes.
00:23:12.120 77 out of 80.
00:23:14.760 Almost all of them.
00:23:16.820 And the exceptions, by the way,
00:23:18.360 related to relatively minor points,
00:23:20.260 like voting habits.
00:23:22.500 Do you vote?
00:23:23.960 Or alcohol used by children of lesbian mothers.
00:23:26.640 So there were these little minor exceptions.
00:23:29.040 Otherwise, the kids of straight, normal couples
00:23:31.740 did better on everything.
00:23:36.000 2013.
00:23:36.760 Do I, should I beat this horse into the ground?
00:23:39.160 I think I will.
00:23:40.180 I think I will.
00:23:41.080 Because there are people on the left
00:23:42.340 and on the right,
00:23:43.740 horrifyingly, even on the right,
00:23:44.960 who will defend that video.
00:23:46.100 Even after it comes out
00:23:48.040 that one of the guys
00:23:48.840 is a child sex offender.
00:23:50.420 They'll defend it.
00:23:50.940 Oh, no, Michael.
00:23:52.560 It's just one exception.
00:23:53.880 The science says otherwise.
00:23:55.160 The science says otherwise.
00:23:55.900 How many more studies do I have to cite?
00:23:58.200 2013.
00:23:58.840 Susan Gollenbach
00:23:59.740 at Cambridge.
00:24:01.300 This actually pertains to the IVF
00:24:02.840 because the only way
00:24:03.700 that two fellas
00:24:04.420 or two ladies
00:24:05.240 can have a child
00:24:06.080 if you've passed
00:24:07.860 seventh grade biology class
00:24:09.180 is if they adopt
00:24:10.480 or if they go to the baby store
00:24:12.080 and engage in in vitro fertilization
00:24:13.980 and then hire a surrogate.
00:24:15.460 Well, what happens then?
00:24:17.380 Let's just focus in
00:24:18.340 on the surrogacy aspect.
00:24:19.740 There was a study in 2013.
00:24:21.300 Children gestated by a surrogate
00:24:22.940 had higher adjustment difficulties
00:24:25.120 at age seven
00:24:26.040 than other children
00:24:27.760 who came about the old-fashioned way.
00:24:30.220 What does that mean,
00:24:31.040 adjustment difficulties?
00:24:32.100 They had aggressive
00:24:32.700 or antisocial behavior.
00:24:34.020 They had emotional problems.
00:24:35.320 They had anxiety.
00:24:36.280 They had depression.
00:24:37.460 That's just if you're born
00:24:38.740 via a surrogate,
00:24:39.620 which heterosexual couples
00:24:40.660 can use too.
00:24:41.560 That's also very, very bad
00:24:43.220 for children.
00:24:43.720 It's wrong
00:24:44.380 for other reasons as well,
00:24:45.600 but it's also very bad
00:24:46.940 for children.
00:24:48.700 Last study I'll cite.
00:24:50.760 2015,
00:24:51.400 Donald Sullins,
00:24:52.080 British Journal of Education,
00:24:53.400 found that emotional problems
00:24:54.460 were over twice
00:24:55.440 as prevalent
00:24:56.080 for children
00:24:57.220 with same-sex parents
00:24:58.220 as for children
00:24:59.100 with opposite-sex parents.
00:25:00.200 I don't have that long a show.
00:25:01.900 How many more studies
00:25:02.660 do you need me to cite?
00:25:04.980 This is horrifying.
00:25:07.100 It's a crime
00:25:07.800 against children
00:25:08.660 and against nature
00:25:10.000 and against common sense.
00:25:12.580 Obviously,
00:25:13.780 little babies
00:25:14.500 need their mommies.
00:25:15.480 And you know what?
00:25:16.000 Kids need their daddies too.
00:25:18.480 And they're not going
00:25:20.080 to do as well
00:25:20.760 if they're being raised
00:25:22.140 by two men
00:25:22.980 who are selfishly purchasing kids
00:25:24.760 or two women
00:25:25.460 or a single parent
00:25:27.880 who is intentionally
00:25:29.100 depriving a child
00:25:29.760 of a parent.
00:25:30.120 Obviously,
00:25:30.520 look,
00:25:30.760 it's a fallen world.
00:25:31.700 Sometimes spouses die.
00:25:33.360 Sometimes divorce even happens,
00:25:35.040 though we want to discourage
00:25:36.040 that as much as possible.
00:25:37.460 It's a fallen world
00:25:38.160 and we make do
00:25:38.600 with what we can.
00:25:39.380 But to intentionally
00:25:40.300 set a child up
00:25:41.000 for failure in this way,
00:25:42.160 to feed the delusions
00:25:43.900 and selfishness of adults
00:25:45.340 is horrifying, okay?
00:25:47.520 Now,
00:25:47.800 there's one question
00:25:48.620 probably lingering,
00:25:49.280 which is,
00:25:49.740 well,
00:25:49.900 how did the Rosenfeld study,
00:25:52.420 the one study
00:25:53.120 that the LGBT people cite,
00:25:55.140 how did that study
00:25:55.960 conclude that the kids
00:25:56.840 turn out just as well?
00:25:57.920 Because they cooked the data.
00:25:59.320 That's how.
00:25:59.720 This study from Rosenfeld
00:26:01.100 out of Stanford 2010
00:26:02.240 excluded children
00:26:04.320 who had changed domicile
00:26:06.400 during the preceding
00:26:07.200 five years of the analysis.
00:26:09.560 So they said,
00:26:10.420 okay,
00:26:10.540 well,
00:26:10.640 we want to just measure
00:26:11.500 stable households.
00:26:13.140 So we're going to exclude kids
00:26:14.600 who changed homes
00:26:15.560 in the previous five years.
00:26:17.640 When they did that,
00:26:19.360 they significantly reduced
00:26:20.760 the sample size
00:26:21.620 of the homosexual households
00:26:23.300 because the homosexual households
00:26:25.200 are intrinsically less stable.
00:26:27.660 So he just,
00:26:28.020 he basically begged the question
00:26:29.580 in the survey
00:26:30.240 and came up with the,
00:26:31.460 I'm not,
00:26:31.680 I'm not accusing him
00:26:32.360 of doing it intentionally,
00:26:33.240 but it's bad science
00:26:34.260 and it came to a false conclusion
00:26:35.880 that has been disproven
00:26:37.000 by countless studies
00:26:38.620 and by common sense
00:26:40.880 and by right reason
00:26:42.620 and by everything.
00:26:44.520 This is completely unacceptable.
00:26:46.580 I know this is a hard saying.
00:26:47.880 You know,
00:26:48.080 listen,
00:26:48.540 I grew up in New York,
00:26:49.740 LA,
00:26:50.000 and I went to the gayest
00:26:50.700 university in the world.
00:26:51.700 A disproportionate number
00:26:52.720 of my friends over the years
00:26:53.780 have been,
00:26:54.240 you know,
00:26:55.000 of eccentric sexual desires
00:26:57.480 and things like that.
00:26:58.440 So I really don't say this
00:26:59.820 from a position of,
00:27:00.920 irrational animus
00:27:02.800 or hostility
00:27:03.520 or anything like that.
00:27:05.200 This is just wrong.
00:27:07.000 It's,
00:27:07.380 it's wrong
00:27:08.080 by every measure
00:27:09.700 and it's really horrible
00:27:10.960 for children.
00:27:11.740 Even if one of the so-called daddies
00:27:13.620 isn't a registered child sex offender
00:27:15.240 as he is in this case,
00:27:16.120 it's just wrong.
00:27:17.180 It's just bad.
00:27:18.120 This is completely unacceptable
00:27:19.260 and should be banned immediately,
00:27:20.660 period.
00:27:21.620 We will look,
00:27:22.800 mark my words,
00:27:24.260 if you're a lib,
00:27:25.300 there are plenty of libs
00:27:26.040 who listen to this show.
00:27:26.860 If you're a squishy Republican,
00:27:28.100 there are plenty of them
00:27:28.580 who listen to this show too.
00:27:30.140 We will look back
00:27:31.400 on the experiment
00:27:33.140 of so-called gay adoption
00:27:34.500 and IVF and surrogacy
00:27:36.240 with the same moral horror
00:27:38.480 with which we are already
00:27:40.440 beginning to look back
00:27:41.520 on transing the kids.
00:27:43.560 We were transing the kids,
00:27:44.620 in some places
00:27:45.360 they're still transing the kids,
00:27:46.320 but it's clearly falling out of favor.
00:27:48.180 We were transing the kids
00:27:49.600 in a robust and excited way
00:27:51.880 two years ago,
00:27:54.200 three years ago.
00:27:54.920 We are already beginning
00:27:56.400 to look back
00:27:57.000 on that experiment
00:27:57.880 with abject moral horror.
00:28:01.020 We will look back
00:28:02.040 on gay adoption
00:28:02.760 and surrogacy and IVF
00:28:03.780 in exactly the same way.
00:28:05.520 And it's not because
00:28:06.440 all the men
00:28:07.020 and all the women
00:28:07.620 have terrible intentions
00:28:09.420 and terrible desires.
00:28:10.240 Many of them have
00:28:10.660 very good desires
00:28:11.300 and very good intentions,
00:28:12.420 but the road to hell
00:28:13.220 is paved with good intentions
00:28:14.180 and the evidence is clear.
00:28:15.640 And to deny the evidence
00:28:16.700 is deeply sinful
00:28:18.760 and we need to cut it up.
00:28:20.280 Now,
00:28:20.980 I want to get to some good news
00:28:23.100 because there's a lot
00:28:23.840 of rough news in the news.
00:28:25.760 And there is some good news,
00:28:26.620 which is that President Trump
00:28:27.620 has just scored
00:28:28.120 a sweet trade deal with the EU.
00:28:29.760 We'll get to that momentarily first,
00:28:31.040 though,
00:28:31.180 speaking of trade and commerce.
00:28:33.520 Folks,
00:28:34.760 you know,
00:28:35.140 I restocked my Mayflower dream.
00:28:37.060 This is the third
00:28:37.920 in the trilogy.
00:28:39.400 Mayflower Dawn
00:28:40.240 is the Connecticut smoke,
00:28:41.880 the nice,
00:28:42.420 a little bit lighter,
00:28:43.700 more mild medium-bodied.
00:28:45.460 Then there's the Mayflower Dusk.
00:28:47.120 That's a little more robust,
00:28:48.400 a little more of your evening smoke.
00:28:50.120 And then to complete the trilogy,
00:28:52.360 there's a lot of,
00:28:52.980 a lot of Trinitarian imagery
00:28:54.180 in the Mayflower series,
00:28:55.880 a lot of pilgrim imagery.
00:28:57.940 There's the dream,
00:28:58.720 the Mayflower dream.
00:28:59.300 That's our double Maduro.
00:29:00.560 I told you we're running low.
00:29:02.960 Well,
00:29:03.180 now I want to put
00:29:03.740 a real number on that.
00:29:04.980 We're running real,
00:29:06.080 real low,
00:29:06.620 like barely any left.
00:29:08.000 We have 56 boxes
00:29:09.540 of Mayflower dream Robusto left.
00:29:11.400 We have one box
00:29:12.560 of the Toro Gordo dream left.
00:29:14.980 I actually had a,
00:29:15.580 I had a dream
00:29:16.240 about the Toro Gordo last night.
00:29:17.480 It's kind of funny.
00:29:18.540 That's it.
00:29:19.720 57 boxes total
00:29:21.980 of the Mayflower dream.
00:29:25.860 Most in the Robusto,
00:29:26.860 which is actually
00:29:27.240 the best size of it.
00:29:28.000 And one left
00:29:28.860 in the Toro Gordo,
00:29:29.620 which some guys really love.
00:29:30.740 In any case,
00:29:32.440 get them now
00:29:33.080 if you want it.
00:29:34.280 Mayflowercigars.com.
00:29:35.480 You must be 21 years old
00:29:36.540 or older
00:29:36.780 to order some exclusions.
00:29:37.960 Apply.
00:29:38.660 If we run out,
00:29:39.560 when we run out,
00:29:40.400 don't blame me.
00:29:41.060 Great deal.
00:29:44.820 Great talk about
00:29:45.800 the art of the deal.
00:29:46.500 Some have doubted
00:29:47.120 the art of the deal.
00:29:47.760 This is amazing.
00:29:49.720 Trump has finally
00:29:50.540 come to a trade deal
00:29:51.200 with the European Union.
00:29:52.540 The EU is going
00:29:53.420 to be charged
00:29:54.080 15% tariffs
00:29:55.920 on its exports
00:29:56.700 to the US.
00:29:59.100 They will commit
00:29:59.820 to charging
00:30:00.280 zero tariffs
00:30:01.080 on US imports
00:30:02.060 into the EU.
00:30:03.540 15% tariffs.
00:30:04.660 15% is lower
00:30:05.660 than the 30%
00:30:06.580 Trump was threatening,
00:30:07.460 but it's higher
00:30:07.960 than the 10% baseline
00:30:09.140 that Trump instituted
00:30:10.320 back in April,
00:30:11.240 I think it was.
00:30:12.440 So,
00:30:13.260 you've got
00:30:14.180 15% tariffs,
00:30:16.440 so we're going
00:30:16.860 to get paid.
00:30:18.480 America's getting paid
00:30:19.240 for those exports.
00:30:20.500 We're not going
00:30:20.960 to have to pay
00:30:21.460 to export our goods.
00:30:22.960 The EU is agreeing
00:30:23.900 to invest $600 billion
00:30:25.020 in the United States.
00:30:26.700 The EU will purchase
00:30:27.960 hundreds of billions
00:30:28.740 of dollars
00:30:29.200 of American military equipment.
00:30:30.940 And the EU will buy
00:30:32.580 $750 billion worth
00:30:34.160 of expensive
00:30:34.780 US liquid natural gas,
00:30:37.240 specifically $250 billion
00:30:38.640 for each of the next
00:30:39.640 three years.
00:30:42.660 This is good stuff.
00:30:44.920 Is there any,
00:30:45.660 any,
00:30:46.840 is there any panic hand left?
00:30:49.240 There,
00:30:49.820 there were many people
00:30:50.760 who said,
00:30:51.320 when Trump's tariffs
00:30:52.160 came out,
00:30:52.480 they said,
00:30:52.700 this is going to tank
00:30:53.800 the economy.
00:30:55.100 Did it?
00:30:56.060 The economy has recovered.
00:30:57.580 This is going to destroy
00:30:58.580 the bond market.
00:30:59.300 The bond market's recovered.
00:31:00.060 This is going to upset
00:31:01.300 global trade.
00:31:02.060 Global trade's recovered.
00:31:02.840 This is going to alienate
00:31:03.660 our allies.
00:31:04.280 Our allies are doing
00:31:05.380 just fine.
00:31:08.360 People wondered
00:31:09.480 what Trump was aiming
00:31:11.040 at with the tariffs.
00:31:11.860 Could have been
00:31:12.140 one of three things.
00:31:13.380 Could have been
00:31:14.020 trying to get better
00:31:15.140 trade deals.
00:31:15.860 Could have been
00:31:16.180 trying to reshore
00:31:16.800 American jobs.
00:31:17.740 Could have been
00:31:18.180 trying to raise revenue.
00:31:19.540 Just get the money
00:31:20.280 from the tariffs.
00:31:21.560 You can't effectively
00:31:22.640 do all three.
00:31:23.620 You got to have
00:31:24.060 compromises and you
00:31:24.940 have to prioritize some.
00:31:26.420 Obviously,
00:31:27.260 as I called at the time,
00:31:28.720 obviously Trump was
00:31:30.440 trying to get better
00:31:31.000 trade deals.
00:31:32.520 And that will raise
00:31:33.260 a little bit of revenue.
00:31:34.600 It won't.
00:31:35.100 It's not going to
00:31:35.540 reshore all of
00:31:36.200 American manufacturing.
00:31:37.540 But certain goods,
00:31:38.780 you're not going to
00:31:39.560 reshore.
00:31:39.900 And it is going to be
00:31:40.380 good for American
00:31:40.920 manufacturing in as much
00:31:42.080 as, and American
00:31:42.740 agriculture and all
00:31:43.740 the rest of it,
00:31:44.500 in as much as now
00:31:45.400 we're going to have
00:31:46.560 fewer trade barriers
00:31:47.460 to get our goods
00:31:48.140 out there to the
00:31:48.740 marketplace.
00:31:49.880 This is great.
00:31:50.700 I don't care if you
00:31:51.220 hate Trump.
00:31:52.020 I don't care if you're
00:31:52.960 on the left.
00:31:53.580 I don't care if you're
00:31:54.080 one of the Trump
00:31:54.540 haters on the right.
00:31:55.240 What is the argument
00:31:57.560 that this is not
00:31:58.920 a phenomenal trade deal?
00:32:01.240 What's the argument?
00:32:01.640 Can anyone make it?
00:32:02.460 Make it for me in the
00:32:03.200 comments if you can
00:32:04.140 make that argument.
00:32:04.780 I can't see it.
00:32:05.520 There's some policies
00:32:07.160 from Trump where I say,
00:32:08.160 okay, here's the plus side,
00:32:09.480 here's a little bit of
00:32:09.940 the downside, you know,
00:32:10.840 you take the good
00:32:11.300 with the bad.
00:32:11.920 This one, what's the
00:32:12.780 downside?
00:32:15.220 Who could have gotten
00:32:16.140 a better trade deal?
00:32:17.040 Who has gotten a better
00:32:17.840 trade deal?
00:32:18.440 How could this trade
00:32:19.100 deal be better?
00:32:20.240 Can someone explain it
00:32:21.000 to me?
00:32:21.500 No?
00:32:22.300 Okay.
00:32:22.540 Then maybe when Trump
00:32:24.500 proposes policies,
00:32:27.280 domestic, foreign,
00:32:29.080 economic, national
00:32:30.340 security, immigration,
00:32:31.520 whatever, how about
00:32:32.820 before we all blow our
00:32:34.120 tops and have steam
00:32:34.840 coming out of our ears,
00:32:36.560 how about we just
00:32:37.080 take a deep breath,
00:32:38.340 we look back at history,
00:32:39.460 we realize that the
00:32:40.220 reasonable conclusion
00:32:42.020 to reach is that
00:32:42.980 probably it's going
00:32:43.940 to turn out fine.
00:32:44.540 Not every time,
00:32:45.560 but probably it's
00:32:46.140 going to turn out fine.
00:32:47.140 Speaking of the
00:32:47.780 Trump administration,
00:32:50.240 Secretary of State
00:32:51.120 Marco Rubio,
00:32:52.540 was just asked
00:32:53.800 if he is running
00:32:54.880 for president
00:32:55.460 in 2028.
00:32:58.000 Rubio considered
00:32:58.660 one of the top
00:32:59.480 contenders.
00:33:00.100 He's been given,
00:33:00.660 I think, half the jobs
00:33:01.580 in the Trump
00:33:01.960 administration so far.
00:33:03.480 Rubio's answer,
00:33:05.160 shocking many people,
00:33:06.740 surprising even me.
00:33:10.720 Final question.
00:33:12.040 You just brought up
00:33:12.920 your run in 2016
00:33:14.020 for president.
00:33:15.380 You are talked about
00:33:16.860 quite frequently
00:33:17.680 as a possible
00:33:18.920 contender in 2028.
00:33:20.480 Do you have
00:33:21.480 your sights set
00:33:22.180 outside of the
00:33:23.000 State Department?
00:33:23.960 Well, I think J.D. Vance
00:33:24.880 would be a great nominee.
00:33:26.600 And if, you know,
00:33:28.640 I think if he decides
00:33:29.700 he wants to do that.
00:33:30.760 And so, you know,
00:33:32.060 I think he's doing
00:33:33.400 a great job
00:33:33.940 as vice president.
00:33:34.840 He's a close friend.
00:33:35.820 And I hope he intends
00:33:37.000 to do it.
00:33:37.380 I know it's kind of early,
00:33:38.280 you know,
00:33:38.440 but being in the role
00:33:39.660 that I'm in here
00:33:40.200 at the Secretary of State,
00:33:41.140 I really don't play
00:33:41.820 in politics.
00:33:42.560 There's actually rules
00:33:43.460 against me being involved
00:33:44.520 in domestic politics.
00:33:45.600 And I want to do this job
00:33:47.120 as, you know,
00:33:47.700 as long as the president
00:33:48.460 allows me to do it
00:33:49.360 and stay in that job,
00:33:50.720 which would keep me here
00:33:51.540 all the way through,
00:33:52.480 you know,
00:33:52.800 January of 2028.
00:33:54.680 I feel, honestly,
00:33:56.080 you never know
00:33:56.520 what the future holds.
00:33:57.380 You never rule things out
00:33:58.440 or anything like that
00:33:59.000 because you just don't know
00:33:59.820 things change very quickly.
00:34:01.000 But that said,
00:34:01.900 I believe that
00:34:03.320 if I am able to be here,
00:34:06.300 you know,
00:34:06.560 through the duration
00:34:07.160 of this presidency
00:34:07.760 and we get things done
00:34:08.980 at the pace
00:34:09.620 that we've been doing
00:34:10.580 the last six months,
00:34:11.660 I'll be able to look back
00:34:12.820 at my time
00:34:13.460 in public service
00:34:14.220 and say,
00:34:14.760 I made a difference,
00:34:15.540 I had an impact
00:34:16.280 and I served my country
00:34:17.460 in a very positive way.
00:34:19.020 And I would be satisfied
00:34:19.920 with that
00:34:20.440 as the apex of my career.
00:34:22.820 Okay.
00:34:23.600 I don't believe
00:34:24.460 that last part.
00:34:25.380 I don't believe that at all.
00:34:26.660 I think he wants
00:34:27.480 to be president.
00:34:29.080 Now,
00:34:29.480 I'm not calling him a liar.
00:34:30.420 I think that answer
00:34:31.000 was very, very good.
00:34:31.980 Very interesting answer.
00:34:33.800 But he wants
00:34:34.360 to be president.
00:34:34.900 There was talk
00:34:35.620 that Rubio
00:34:36.100 was going to run
00:34:36.480 for president in 2012.
00:34:37.840 I remember that.
00:34:38.960 Talk all around D.C.
00:34:40.840 And then 2016,
00:34:42.440 he obviously ran,
00:34:43.180 did pretty well,
00:34:44.820 ran against Trump.
00:34:46.420 Then,
00:34:47.100 didn't run in 2024.
00:34:50.420 Now,
00:34:50.920 he's secretary of state.
00:34:52.660 But the really interesting
00:34:54.180 part of his answer is,
00:34:55.780 is are you going to run
00:34:56.400 in 2028?
00:34:56.980 He obviously wants to.
00:34:58.580 He says,
00:34:59.020 I think J.D. Vance
00:34:59.760 would be a great nominee.
00:35:01.920 Now,
00:35:02.980 in the pecking order
00:35:04.020 of the White House,
00:35:04.780 at least as it's understood today,
00:35:06.160 J.D. Vance outranks Rubio.
00:35:08.500 But Rubio's pretty close
00:35:09.640 up there to the top.
00:35:10.460 It's kind of like
00:35:10.860 the president,
00:35:11.480 the vice president,
00:35:12.000 and the secretary of state.
00:35:14.260 In past ages,
00:35:16.140 the secretary of state
00:35:17.000 has outranked
00:35:18.520 the vice president
00:35:19.220 in terms of political relevance,
00:35:20.840 in terms of political future.
00:35:23.100 Now,
00:35:23.540 that's not so much the case.
00:35:25.560 But he says,
00:35:26.700 I think J.D.
00:35:27.360 would be a great nominee.
00:35:29.060 He couches it
00:35:29.720 with all sorts of caveats.
00:35:30.460 Obviously,
00:35:30.740 things change.
00:35:31.280 We'll see how it goes.
00:35:31.880 But if he wants to run,
00:35:32.660 I think he'd be a great nominee.
00:35:35.280 Which suggests
00:35:36.900 something really important
00:35:38.500 about the Trump administration.
00:35:39.540 Not even about Rubio's career.
00:35:42.100 Rubio has been preparing
00:35:43.600 for the top job
00:35:44.760 for a very long time.
00:35:45.660 So he would be
00:35:46.060 a strong presidential candidate.
00:35:48.100 But what it shows you
00:35:48.680 about the Trump administration
00:35:49.460 is
00:35:49.920 this thing is cohesive.
00:35:52.260 The first term
00:35:54.560 was not that cohesive.
00:35:56.020 The first term,
00:35:56.920 there was a lot of infighting,
00:35:58.140 a lot of rivalries.
00:35:59.680 You look at these two guys,
00:36:01.800 J.D. and Marco Rubio
00:36:03.660 are the two most eminently
00:36:05.900 nominable,
00:36:08.740 they're the most eminently
00:36:09.880 presidential-able
00:36:11.280 people in the administration
00:36:13.240 for 2028.
00:36:14.740 They should be
00:36:15.640 at each other's throats,
00:36:16.560 you would expect,
00:36:17.620 in a less disciplined administration.
00:36:19.920 This is a highly
00:36:20.700 disciplined administration.
00:36:22.280 Rubio,
00:36:22.920 on the surface here,
00:36:23.920 is setting himself up
00:36:24.740 for a VP spot
00:36:25.880 in 2028.
00:36:27.180 So it could be
00:36:27.580 Vance Rubio.
00:36:29.760 Pretty good.
00:36:30.360 I bet a lot of people
00:36:30.920 would like that,
00:36:31.380 especially if the administration
00:36:32.360 continues to be successful.
00:36:34.740 And he's setting himself up
00:36:36.420 to get J.D.'s support
00:36:38.520 if, for whatever reason,
00:36:39.640 the vice president
00:36:40.180 doesn't want to run.
00:36:41.140 Though,
00:36:41.540 presumably,
00:36:42.040 he will run in 2028.
00:36:43.900 But this is,
00:36:44.620 what is most impressive
00:36:45.720 about this answer
00:36:46.500 has nothing to do
00:36:48.260 with Vance's
00:36:49.500 political career
00:36:50.420 or Rubio's
00:36:51.460 political career
00:36:52.180 or anyone else
00:36:53.140 in the admin.
00:36:53.960 What's most impressive is
00:36:55.240 this is a buttoned-up
00:36:56.880 administration.
00:36:58.560 You are not,
00:36:59.520 the libs and the squishes
00:37:00.660 are always trying to find
00:37:01.720 cracks and ways
00:37:03.060 to break the admin apart.
00:37:04.180 If you can't pit
00:37:07.080 the vice president
00:37:08.020 against the secretary of state,
00:37:09.320 if you can't pit Vance
00:37:10.320 against Rubio
00:37:10.960 at this moment
00:37:11.580 for 2028,
00:37:13.980 now you've got it
00:37:14.860 on record.
00:37:15.660 You've got that video clip.
00:37:16.840 If Rubio ever turned on Vance,
00:37:18.520 Vance gets to play that
00:37:19.460 on TV constantly,
00:37:20.840 2028.
00:37:21.740 I think J.D.
00:37:22.380 would be a great nominee.
00:37:23.200 He gets to play it
00:37:23.900 ad nauseum.
00:37:25.040 If you can't break
00:37:26.040 these two guys apart,
00:37:27.140 you are not going to break
00:37:27.860 this administration apart.
00:37:28.960 Okay.
00:37:29.520 Now,
00:37:30.600 we've got a lot more
00:37:32.460 to talk about
00:37:33.120 on foreign affairs,
00:37:33.880 but first,
00:37:35.580 I want to talk about
00:37:36.800 breaking people apart
00:37:38.400 and close relationships
00:37:39.300 because I just sat down
00:37:40.840 with one of P. Diddy's escorts.
00:37:42.200 That's right.
00:37:43.080 Often in high-profile cases
00:37:44.580 and conspiracies,
00:37:45.620 all we get are a few
00:37:46.260 redacted documents
00:37:47.140 from a litany of theories
00:37:48.180 from sources
00:37:49.160 close to the story
00:37:50.540 that never totally pan out.
00:37:52.620 Other times,
00:37:53.480 you get to sit down
00:37:54.120 face-to-face with someone
00:37:55.040 who was there.
00:37:56.220 Like in this latest episode
00:37:57.520 of Michael and
00:37:58.340 where I sit down
00:37:59.060 with a former P. Diddy escort
00:38:00.720 who was named in the trial.
00:38:03.040 Graphic stories
00:38:03.840 that will blow you away.
00:38:05.520 Check out this teaser.
00:38:06.220 So I don't know
00:38:08.640 who I'm seeing.
00:38:10.040 And so I show up
00:38:10.940 to the address,
00:38:11.560 I go up to the door,
00:38:12.460 knock,
00:38:12.860 and she opens the door.
00:38:14.020 So you say
00:38:14.360 it's very performative.
00:38:15.320 She's like,
00:38:15.680 okay, sit there.
00:38:16.560 She puts the towel down.
00:38:17.600 It's like,
00:38:17.780 hey, just pour the baby oil
00:38:19.700 all over me.
00:38:20.600 I see like
00:38:21.240 a little slit
00:38:22.440 in the room.
00:38:22.980 There were times
00:38:23.700 in the sessions
00:38:24.500 where I saw that demon,
00:38:26.300 the demon
00:38:26.800 that she talked about.
00:38:29.060 Personal demon,
00:38:29.900 you know,
00:38:30.080 these are the demons
00:38:30.620 that are reflecting me.
00:38:31.520 Or Diddy.
00:38:33.460 Yeah, Diddy.
00:38:34.120 You actually did this stuff.
00:38:35.880 Your name and your picture
00:38:36.800 were revealed in court.
00:38:37.920 Revealed in court
00:38:38.660 and then it started
00:38:39.360 to go mainstream
00:38:39.920 when 50 posted that picture.
00:38:41.680 So this guy
00:38:42.440 is a sex-crazed animal.
00:38:46.300 She was under his control.
00:38:48.500 Because there's video
00:38:49.220 of him beating her
00:38:49.980 in a hallway.
00:38:50.860 I was supposed to be there
00:38:52.940 that night.
00:38:54.660 I was supposed to.

00:39:10.020 My favorite comment yesterday
00:39:11.100 is from Guy Ford
00:39:12.560 who says,
00:39:13.100 just because something
00:39:13.600 isn't woke,
00:39:14.800 that doesn't automatically
00:39:15.860 make it good.
00:39:16.640 Thank you.
00:39:17.160 That is my thesis.
00:39:18.360 That is my thesis
00:39:19.380 on the Sidney Sweeney
00:39:20.500 Jeans ad.
00:39:22.140 And I know
00:39:22.980 it's an unpopular position.
00:39:25.760 Especially on the right
00:39:26.640 because we're all so sick
00:39:27.340 of woke.
00:39:28.560 But it's why I had to say
00:39:29.460 two cheers
00:39:30.420 for American Eagle.
00:39:31.780 Two cheers.
00:39:32.300 Not three cheers.
00:39:33.300 Two cheers
00:39:33.700 for American Eagle
00:39:34.460 and the Sidney Sweeney
00:39:35.280 Jeans thing.
00:39:36.060 Because it is better
00:39:37.580 to sell sex
00:39:40.600 in a normal way.
00:39:41.420 You know?
00:39:41.980 It's sex sells
00:39:42.980 and marketing
00:39:43.480 and that's been true
00:39:44.120 since antiquity.
00:39:44.800 It's better
00:39:46.860 to promote
00:39:50.260 normal
00:39:51.300 sexual desires
00:39:52.940 in your advertising
00:39:53.980 than abnormal
00:39:55.080 aberrant ones
00:39:55.800 like we've seen
00:39:56.260 with all the LGBT
00:39:57.040 ad campaigns.
00:39:59.480 But it's still not good.
00:40:00.720 You don't want
00:40:01.100 to arouse lusts.
00:40:02.280 You don't want
00:40:02.620 to appeal
00:40:02.940 to the prurian interest.
00:40:04.660 So it's
00:40:05.000 better.
00:40:07.600 It's an improvement
00:40:08.200 and I'll take
00:40:08.820 an improvement.
00:40:10.020 But if 2020
00:40:11.820 was the high mark
00:40:12.640 of wokeness
00:40:13.260 it's good
00:40:14.960 that we've gone
00:40:15.580 back in a way
00:40:16.300 to 1998.
00:40:17.640 That's good.
00:40:18.940 But 1998
00:40:19.600 was not the peak
00:40:20.320 of civilization.
00:40:21.900 Wasn't the be all
00:40:22.720 and end all.
00:40:23.160 Wasn't all that
00:40:23.600 in a bag of chips
00:40:24.160 like we used to say
00:40:24.740 in 1998.
00:40:25.980 You gotta go
00:40:26.940 a little deeper.
00:40:28.740 Just because
00:40:29.180 this is like
00:40:29.840 when the conservatives
00:40:30.940 are arguing
00:40:32.120 with the socialists
00:40:33.060 and the progressives
00:40:33.760 and the lunatics
00:40:34.340 and they
00:40:36.580 then someone
00:40:37.940 comes in
00:40:38.380 and says
00:40:38.660 well I'm a
00:40:39.080 classical liberal
00:40:39.940 and the conservatives
00:40:41.480 say oh finally
00:40:42.340 a sane person.
00:40:43.440 That's great.
00:40:43.900 Yeah classical liberalism
00:40:44.840 is better than socialism
00:40:46.140 and wokeness
00:40:47.400 and progressivism.
00:40:49.020 But it's not great.
00:40:50.400 It's not.
00:40:51.200 You know
00:40:51.380 it's still
00:40:52.620 kind of liberal.
00:40:53.500 You know what's better
00:40:54.180 is conservatism.
00:40:54.940 That's what I would say.
00:40:55.640 Okay.
00:40:57.040 Speaking of
00:40:58.020 foreign affairs
00:40:59.140 a lot of people
00:41:01.400 are beginning
00:41:02.580 to change
00:41:03.840 their views
00:41:04.480 on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
00:41:06.140 These are
00:41:06.300 I'm not talking
00:41:07.020 about the Israel haters.
00:41:08.140 I'm not talking
00:41:08.500 about the anti-Semites.
00:41:09.580 There are those people
00:41:10.340 who are pathologically
00:41:11.480 opposed to the state
00:41:12.760 of Israel
00:41:13.220 or who just hate
00:41:14.340 the Jews.
00:41:14.840 Those people do exist.
00:41:16.340 They're real
00:41:16.960 and I'm not talking
00:41:17.860 about them.
00:41:18.960 I'm talking about
00:41:19.900 even people
00:41:20.440 who have been
00:41:21.620 broadly supportive
00:41:22.700 of Israel
00:41:23.280 who are
00:41:23.880 philo-Semitic.
00:41:25.040 Even people like
00:41:25.480 President Trump.
00:41:26.060 President Trump
00:41:26.540 has a town
00:41:27.560 named after him
00:41:29.080 in Israel.
00:41:31.400 No greater
00:41:32.340 political friend
00:41:33.260 of the Jewish state
00:41:34.860 than President Trump.
00:41:35.860 And even
00:41:36.520 President Trump
00:41:37.080 has said
00:41:37.380 Israel's conduct
00:41:38.780 in this war
00:41:39.340 has gone
00:41:39.660 a little bit
00:41:40.060 too far.
00:41:40.520 There is a real
00:41:41.040 starvation in Gaza.
00:41:43.700 It's going to be
00:41:44.420 working where
00:41:44.980 the United States
00:41:45.880 will be
00:41:46.360 helping with the food.
00:41:48.360 We have a lot
00:41:49.180 of access to food.
00:41:50.180 We've got a lot
00:41:50.660 of food ourselves
00:41:51.460 and we're going
00:41:52.760 to bring it over there.
00:41:53.520 We're also going
00:41:53.960 to make sure
00:41:54.400 that they don't
00:41:54.880 have barriers
00:41:55.400 stopping people.
00:41:56.340 You've seen
00:41:56.880 the areas
00:41:57.240 where they actually
00:41:57.700 have food
00:41:58.140 and the people
00:41:59.520 are screaming
00:42:00.000 for the food
00:42:00.620 and they're
00:42:01.060 35, 40 yards away
00:42:04.700 and they won't let
00:42:06.240 them because
00:42:06.580 they have lines
00:42:07.260 that are set up
00:42:08.000 and whether
00:42:09.560 they're set up
00:42:10.260 by Hamas
00:42:11.000 or whoever
00:42:11.780 but they're
00:42:12.680 very strict lines
00:42:14.160 so we have to
00:42:14.560 get rid of those lines
00:42:15.400 but we're going
00:42:16.460 to be getting
00:42:16.900 some good
00:42:17.680 strong food.
00:42:18.440 We can save
00:42:19.600 a lot of people.
00:42:20.540 I mean some
00:42:21.020 of those kids
00:42:21.520 are, that's real
00:42:22.680 starvation stuff.
00:42:23.700 I see it
00:42:24.200 and you can't
00:42:26.320 fake that
00:42:26.900 so we're going
00:42:27.800 to be even
00:42:29.640 more involved.
00:42:30.400 We did some
00:42:31.040 airlifts before
00:42:32.340 some airdrops
00:42:33.260 and the people
00:42:34.860 are running
00:42:35.520 for it
00:42:36.080 and the prime
00:42:38.200 minister is going
00:42:38.720 to help us.
00:42:39.300 They're very
00:42:39.580 effective with that.
00:42:40.480 You've done
00:42:40.760 that before
00:42:41.320 and for many
00:42:42.320 they've done
00:42:43.080 that for 100
00:42:43.620 years very well
00:42:44.660 so it's not
00:42:46.080 very hard to do
00:42:48.080 actually.
00:42:49.040 Okay, so there
00:42:49.900 you have it.
00:42:50.300 This is significant.
00:42:52.100 For Trump to come
00:42:52.780 out and say
00:42:53.120 look there is
00:42:53.620 real starvation
00:42:54.360 in Gaza
00:42:54.800 in some cases
00:42:56.520 out of the state
00:42:56.980 of Israel
00:42:57.300 you're hearing
00:42:57.640 people argue
00:42:58.160 there's no
00:42:58.580 starvation in Gaza
00:42:59.340 it's all fake
00:43:00.000 it's all propaganda
00:43:00.720 from Hamas
00:43:01.740 but then you have
00:43:03.040 some people
00:43:03.600 in Israel
00:43:04.460 saying no
00:43:04.860 there is starvation
00:43:05.800 but it's
00:43:06.840 Hamas' fault
00:43:07.540 and you even
00:43:08.800 have some people
00:43:09.240 saying yeah
00:43:09.700 you're darn right
00:43:10.540 there's starvation
00:43:11.120 because they
00:43:11.740 attacked us
00:43:12.180 on October 7th
00:43:12.960 and now
00:43:13.340 you know
00:43:13.680 this is just
00:43:14.200 the consequence
00:43:14.700 these people
00:43:15.180 elected Hamas
00:43:15.880 and the
00:43:16.320 consequence is
00:43:16.940 war is ugly
00:43:17.480 so you're
00:43:18.880 seeing a range
00:43:20.000 of reactions
00:43:21.120 to this
00:43:21.540 but Trump
00:43:22.380 is coming out
00:43:22.740 and saying
00:43:22.920 no no
00:43:23.160 there is
00:43:23.920 real starvation
00:43:24.620 and there
00:43:26.020 is an
00:43:26.460 international
00:43:26.880 outcry
00:43:27.360 and Israel
00:43:28.820 does play
00:43:29.300 a part
00:43:29.540 in that
00:43:29.840 and Trump's
00:43:31.340 view
00:43:31.520 he's not going
00:43:32.120 totally out
00:43:32.700 on a limb
00:43:33.040 here
00:43:33.260 this is the same
00:43:34.220 view articulated
00:43:34.840 by Ross Douthat
00:43:35.980 one of the most
00:43:36.760 thoughtful public
00:43:37.900 commentators
00:43:38.640 pundits out there
00:43:39.400 he writes for the New York
00:43:40.040 Times but don't hold it
00:43:40.840 against him
00:43:41.280 very thoughtful
00:43:42.020 commentator
00:43:42.600 he wrote this piece
00:43:43.980 how Israel's war
00:43:45.380 became unjust
00:43:46.740 so it didn't start
00:43:47.600 out unjust
00:43:48.160 but his conduct
00:43:48.920 of the war
00:43:49.220 right now
00:43:49.500 is unjust
00:43:49.980 so Rabb Amari
00:43:51.040 who has been
00:43:52.100 very supportive
00:43:52.660 of the state
00:43:53.360 of Israel
00:43:53.820 Zionism even
00:43:54.820 over the years
00:43:56.720 he wrote a very
00:43:57.560 thoughtful piece
00:43:58.060 on this
00:43:58.360 I forget
00:43:58.760 what outlet
00:43:59.800 published
00:44:00.160 I was just
00:44:00.480 reading it
00:44:00.800 yesterday
00:44:01.040 very good
00:44:01.680 piece
00:44:01.980 because there's
00:44:03.180 reporting
00:44:03.460 in the Guardian
00:44:03.840 here
00:44:04.100 says
00:44:05.300 the Israeli
00:44:05.920 effort has
00:44:06.380 continued
00:44:06.740 even as one
00:44:07.340 of its own
00:44:07.640 government
00:44:07.900 ministers
00:44:08.300 the far
00:44:08.640 right
00:44:08.800 heritage
00:44:09.080 minister
00:44:09.480 Amihai
00:44:10.120 Eliyahu
00:44:11.000 appeared to
00:44:12.100 describe an
00:44:12.580 unapologetic
00:44:13.180 policy of
00:44:13.720 starvation
00:44:14.120 genocide
00:44:14.500 and ethnic
00:44:14.920 cleansing
00:44:15.260 that Israel
00:44:16.000 has denied
00:44:16.480 and said
00:44:16.760 is not
00:44:17.060 official policy
00:44:17.840 so Israel
00:44:19.580 saying Hamas
00:44:20.100 is stealing
00:44:20.500 the aid
00:44:20.820 but a separate
00:44:21.900 US assessment
00:44:22.500 even beyond
00:44:22.960 what Trump
00:44:23.280 is saying
00:44:23.660 says that
00:44:24.520 isn't true
00:44:24.920 Reuters
00:44:25.240 is reporting
00:44:25.780 an internal
00:44:26.280 US government
00:44:26.840 analysis
00:44:27.320 found no
00:44:28.380 evidence
00:44:28.760 of systematic
00:44:29.440 theft
00:44:30.000 by the
00:44:30.600 Palestinian
00:44:31.060 militant
00:44:31.500 group Hamas
00:44:32.180 of US
00:44:32.900 funded
00:44:33.240 humanitarian
00:44:33.820 supplies
00:44:34.360 challenging
00:44:35.260 the main
00:44:35.840 rationale
00:44:36.220 that Israel
00:44:36.740 and the
00:44:36.900 US give
00:44:37.300 for backing
00:44:37.760 a new
00:44:38.160 armed
00:44:38.480 private
00:44:38.840 aid
00:44:39.020 operation
00:44:39.520 so Israel
00:44:40.120 says
00:44:40.320 we can't
00:44:40.700 let this
00:44:41.000 aid in
00:44:41.340 because Hamas
00:44:41.800 just steals
00:44:42.660 it
00:44:42.880 a US
00:44:43.560 assessment
00:44:44.000 says that
00:44:44.420 isn't
00:44:44.680 true
00:44:44.920 so I
00:44:46.280 don't know
00:44:46.520 I'm not
00:44:46.780 an expert
00:44:47.140 on it
00:44:47.520 but I also
00:44:49.420 I caught a
00:44:49.800 little bit
00:44:50.000 of flack
00:44:50.340 for nuancing
00:44:51.660 my view
00:44:52.100 of the
00:44:52.460 Israel-Gaza
00:44:53.260 war
00:44:53.580 just a week
00:44:54.320 or two
00:44:54.580 ago
00:44:54.800 when the
00:44:55.960 only Catholic
00:44:56.500 church
00:44:56.720 in Gaza
00:44:57.100 was hit
00:44:57.500 Israel
00:44:58.180 said it
00:44:58.480 was hit
00:44:58.820 accidentally
00:44:59.460 the Latin
00:45:00.660 patriarch
00:45:01.220 of Jerusalem
00:45:02.660 was a little
00:45:03.440 more circumspect
00:45:04.140 on its
00:45:04.460 analysis
00:45:04.840 but it
00:45:05.160 killed
00:45:05.380 three
00:45:05.620 Christians
00:45:06.060 injured
00:45:06.560 ten
00:45:06.780 people
00:45:07.020 including
00:45:07.320 a priest
00:45:07.820 and it
00:45:08.960 caused
00:45:09.360 a lot
00:45:09.660 of people
00:45:09.960 to wake
00:45:10.300 up
00:45:10.440 and think
00:45:10.820 this war
00:45:12.360 has gone
00:45:12.560 on for
00:45:12.800 a long
00:45:13.040 time
00:45:13.360 for goodness
00:45:13.820 sake
00:45:13.980 you have
00:45:14.160 Mike
00:45:14.320 Huckabee
00:45:14.600 the US
00:45:14.960 ambassador
00:45:15.380 to Israel
00:45:15.880 very
00:45:16.240 pro-Israel
00:45:17.040 threatening
00:45:18.520 to accuse
00:45:19.000 Israel
00:45:19.440 of
00:45:20.020 discriminating
00:45:21.740 against
00:45:22.040 Christians
00:45:22.420 because of
00:45:22.740 a visa
00:45:23.080 issue
00:45:23.420 among
00:45:23.620 American
00:45:23.980 evangelicals
00:45:24.840 so even
00:45:25.860 you're seeing
00:45:26.780 a tide
00:45:28.020 turning
00:45:28.380 not among
00:45:30.760 the Jew
00:45:31.300 haters
00:45:31.640 and the
00:45:32.500 Israel
00:45:33.420 enemies
00:45:33.860 but among
00:45:34.960 people who
00:45:35.480 have been
00:45:35.740 very supportive
00:45:36.560 of the
00:45:36.960 state of
00:45:37.220 Israel
00:45:37.480 for many
00:45:38.240 years
00:45:38.600 myself
00:45:38.860 included
00:45:39.240 people
00:45:40.040 who are
00:45:40.760 quite
00:45:41.480 philo-semitic
00:45:42.360 now you
00:45:43.360 know I'm
00:45:43.580 a New
00:45:43.800 Yorker
00:45:44.160 and I
00:45:44.420 had a
00:45:44.640 Katz's
00:45:44.980 Deli
00:45:45.300 pastrami
00:45:45.760 sandwich
00:45:46.040 just
00:45:46.280 last
00:45:46.460 week
00:45:46.660 I
00:45:46.780 promise
00:45:47.060 you
00:45:47.200 I
00:45:47.320 love
00:45:47.460 the
00:45:47.600 Jewish
00:45:47.760 people
00:45:48.020 very
00:45:48.240 much
00:45:48.520 but
00:45:49.500 the
00:45:51.400 facts
00:45:51.680 are
00:45:51.780 the
00:45:51.860 facts
00:45:52.200 the
00:45:53.600 war
00:45:53.880 has
00:45:54.080 gone
00:45:54.320 on
00:45:54.660 for a
00:45:55.080 very
00:45:55.300 very
00:45:55.500 long
00:45:55.760 time
00:45:56.180 and
00:45:57.060 even
00:45:57.220 that
00:45:57.480 would
00:45:57.660 not
00:45:57.780 be
00:45:57.900 dispositive
00:45:58.500 in
00:45:58.840 determining
00:45:59.160 the
00:45:59.340 justice
00:45:59.600 or
00:45:59.740 injustice
00:46:00.040 of
00:46:00.240 the
00:46:00.340 war
00:46:00.500 but
00:46:00.940 the
00:46:01.080 question
00:46:01.420 is
00:46:01.740 what
00:46:03.100 is
00:46:03.240 the
00:46:03.400 end
00:46:03.660 of
00:46:03.800 the
00:46:03.920 war
00:46:04.100 what
00:46:04.300 is
00:46:04.400 the
00:46:04.560 upshot
00:46:04.940 of
00:46:05.060 the
00:46:05.200 war
00:46:05.380 and
00:46:05.600 is
00:46:05.740 the
00:46:05.900 conduct
00:46:06.320 in
00:46:06.600 the
00:46:06.720 war
00:46:06.860 right
00:46:07.100 now
00:46:15.760 rigorously
00:46:16.000 defended
00:46:16.400 state
00:46:16.940 of
00:46:17.020 Israel's
00:46:17.320 justice
00:46:17.600 in
00:46:17.940 going
00:46:18.160 to
00:46:18.360 war
00:46:18.560 than
00:46:18.820 I
00:46:18.960 have
00:46:19.220 and
00:46:19.760 I
00:46:19.880 don't
00:46:20.000 know
00:46:20.120 that
00:46:20.220 anyone
00:46:20.460 has
00:46:20.680 much
00:46:21.000 more
00:46:21.220 rigorously
00:46:21.660 defended
00:46:22.120 Israel's
00:46:23.280 justice
00:46:23.560 in
00:46:23.720 the
00:46:23.840 conduct
00:46:24.180 of
00:46:24.340 the
00:46:24.460 war
00:46:24.560 than
00:46:24.700 I
00:46:24.840 have
00:46:25.100 but
00:46:25.980 justice
00:46:26.880 in
00:46:27.140 going
00:46:27.300 to
00:46:27.440 war
00:46:27.580 is
00:46:27.800 different
00:46:28.100 than
00:46:28.260 justice
00:46:28.540 in
00:46:28.760 the
00:46:28.860 conduct
00:46:29.140 of
00:46:29.300 a
00:46:29.420 war
00:46:29.580 this
00:46:30.560 is
00:46:30.700 you
00:46:30.840 know
00:46:30.940 just
00:46:31.220 war
00:46:31.500 theory
00:46:31.820 is
00:46:32.060 a
00:46:32.160 phrase
00:46:32.340 that's
00:46:32.520 been
00:46:32.620 thrown
00:46:32.800 around
00:46:33.020 a lot
00:46:33.240 it
00:46:33.340 comes
00:46:33.500 from
00:46:34.000 antiquity
00:46:34.580 and
00:46:35.000 it's
00:46:35.140 been
00:46:35.280 developed
00:46:35.580 by
00:46:35.800 thinkers
00:46:36.080 like
00:46:36.400 Cicero
00:46:36.880 all the
00:46:37.380 way up
00:46:37.640 through
00:46:37.780 Thomas
00:46:38.020 Aquinas
00:46:38.400 and
00:46:38.680 into
00:46:38.940 the
00:46:39.340 20th
00:46:39.620 century
00:46:39.900 and
00:46:40.040 21st
00:46:40.400 century
00:46:40.740 but
00:46:41.720 there
00:46:41.820 are
00:46:41.880 two
00:46:42.000 aspects
00:46:42.340 justice
00:46:43.240 in
00:46:43.660 bellum
00:46:44.060 justice
00:46:47.240 in
00:46:47.500 going
00:46:47.700 to
00:46:47.880 war
00:46:48.080 and
00:46:48.700 justice
00:46:49.160 in
00:46:49.640 bello
00:46:50.020 justice
00:46:50.900 in
00:46:51.360 the
00:46:51.500 conduct
00:46:51.760 of
00:46:51.920 the
00:46:52.020 war
00:46:52.180 and
00:46:52.860 there
00:46:52.980 are
00:46:53.060 some
00:46:53.180 different
00:46:53.420 criteria
00:46:53.860 and
00:46:54.160 what's
00:46:54.440 very
00:46:54.600 important
00:46:54.920 to
00:46:55.060 the
00:46:55.540 question
00:46:55.840 of
00:46:55.980 justice
00:46:56.540 in
00:46:56.700 the
00:46:56.800 conduct
00:46:57.040 of
00:46:57.200 war
00:46:57.420 are
00:46:58.600 discrimination
00:46:59.100 and
00:47:00.240 proportionality
00:47:01.040 discrimination
00:47:03.200 meaning
00:47:05.000 your
00:47:06.080 attacks
00:47:06.480 between
00:47:06.940 civilians
00:47:07.600 and
00:47:07.960 militants
00:47:08.480 here
00:47:09.700 it's
00:47:10.240 become
00:47:10.520 a little
00:47:10.740 less
00:47:10.940 clear
00:47:11.220 there's
00:47:11.940 a lot
00:47:12.200 of
00:47:12.320 suffering
00:47:12.600 among
00:47:12.840 civilians
00:47:13.320 there
00:47:14.200 are
00:47:15.240 some
00:47:15.420 people
00:47:16.100 even
00:47:16.380 who
00:47:16.520 argue
00:47:16.820 that
00:47:16.980 there's
00:47:17.120 really
00:47:17.280 no
00:47:17.440 distinction
00:47:17.800 between
00:47:18.220 militants
00:47:18.980 and
00:47:19.140 civilians
00:47:19.500 in
00:47:19.860 Gaza
00:47:20.120 because
00:47:20.380 they
00:47:20.500 all
00:47:20.640 support
00:47:20.940 Hamas
00:47:21.260 there was
00:47:21.560 a prominent
00:47:21.940 commentator
00:47:22.500 who said
00:47:23.140 even after
00:47:23.540 the attack
00:47:24.080 on the
00:47:24.520 Catholic
00:47:24.800 Church
00:47:25.140 that
00:47:25.720 there's
00:47:26.100 really
00:47:26.280 no
00:47:26.460 distinction
00:47:26.820 here
00:47:27.100 all
00:47:27.220 these
00:47:27.360 people
00:47:27.580 support
00:47:27.940 Hamas
00:47:28.400 as if
00:47:28.980 to
00:47:29.100 insinuate
00:47:29.520 that
00:47:29.660 it's
00:47:29.780 all
00:47:35.000 theory
00:47:35.320 and
00:47:35.980 then
00:47:36.120 proportionality
00:47:36.860 which
00:47:37.480 means
00:47:37.800 that
00:47:38.080 proportionality
00:47:38.940 is not
00:47:39.180 just
00:47:39.380 you
00:47:39.520 kill
00:47:39.680 one
00:47:39.840 of
00:47:39.920 mine
00:47:40.020 I
00:47:40.140 kill
00:47:40.260 one
00:47:40.400 of
00:47:40.500 yours
00:47:40.680 that's
00:47:40.960 how
00:47:41.060 a lot
00:47:41.280 of
00:47:41.360 people
00:47:41.600 misinterpret
00:47:42.380 it
00:47:42.600 proportionality
00:47:43.400 means
00:47:43.680 that
00:47:44.160 military
00:47:44.660 actions
00:47:45.200 cannot
00:47:45.620 be
00:47:46.000 excessive
00:47:46.560 in light
00:47:47.180 of
00:47:47.300 military
00:47:47.880 aims
00:47:48.460 so
00:47:49.820 if
00:47:50.320 the
00:47:50.480 military
00:47:50.880 aim
00:47:51.340 is
00:47:51.560 to
00:47:51.720 take
00:47:51.960 out
00:47:52.100 a
00:47:52.220 certain
00:47:52.420 commander
00:47:52.860 or
00:47:54.000 to
00:47:54.240 destroy
00:47:55.160 a
00:47:55.480 certain
00:47:56.400 facility
00:47:56.880 then
00:47:57.860 the
00:47:58.160 military
00:47:58.500 actions
00:47:58.980 cannot
00:47:59.240 be
00:47:59.540 to
00:48:00.000 nuke
00:48:00.380 the
00:48:00.820 entire
00:48:01.160 country
00:48:01.560 that
00:48:02.400 would
00:48:02.500 be
00:48:05.000 and
00:48:05.400 here
00:48:06.180 it's
00:48:06.560 difficult
00:48:06.880 to
00:48:07.120 see
00:48:07.460 how
00:48:08.600 proportionality
00:48:09.340 is really
00:48:09.680 being
00:48:09.900 upheld
00:48:10.180 because
00:48:10.560 in
00:48:10.700 many
00:48:10.840 ways
00:48:11.000 we
00:48:11.100 don't
00:48:11.260 even
00:48:11.400 know
00:48:11.560 what
00:48:11.740 the
00:48:11.940 ultimate
00:48:13.040 military
00:48:13.420 aim
00:48:13.740 is
00:48:14.060 is
00:48:14.600 it
00:48:14.720 to
00:48:14.860 get
00:48:14.980 the
00:48:15.100 hostages
00:48:15.500 back
00:48:15.860 is
00:48:16.900 it
00:48:17.060 to
00:48:17.440 destroy
00:48:18.080 Hamas
00:48:18.660 is
00:48:19.480 it
00:48:19.680 to
00:48:20.200 decapitate
00:48:21.820 the
00:48:22.020 Iranian
00:48:22.380 regime
00:48:22.820 which
00:48:23.020 funds
00:48:23.320 Hamas
00:48:23.820 is
00:48:24.440 it
00:48:24.620 to
00:48:25.060 occupy
00:48:25.600 southern
00:48:25.980 Syria
00:48:26.500 which
00:48:28.020 also
00:48:28.660 has
00:48:28.880 fought
00:48:29.100 in
00:48:29.220 this
00:48:29.340 war
00:48:29.580 is
00:48:29.860 it
00:48:30.080 what
00:48:31.640 is
00:48:31.840 it
00:48:32.040 these
00:48:33.280 are
00:48:33.380 very
00:48:33.560 serious
00:48:33.800 questions
00:48:34.180 and
00:48:34.980 it's
00:48:35.880 one
00:48:36.100 thing
00:48:36.460 to
00:48:37.100 kind
00:48:37.540 of
00:48:37.640 dismiss
00:48:37.940 them
00:48:38.200 when
00:48:38.380 the
00:48:38.500 only
00:48:38.660 people
00:48:38.980 who
00:48:39.100 are
00:48:39.200 raising
00:48:39.460 them
00:48:39.660 are
00:48:39.880 actual
00:48:40.400 anti-Semites
00:48:41.240 and
00:48:41.740 people
00:48:42.740 who
00:48:42.920 just
00:48:43.200 in
00:48:43.500 principle
00:48:43.860 oppose
00:48:44.520 the
00:48:44.840 state
00:48:45.160 of
00:48:45.280 Israel
00:48:45.580 even
00:48:46.400 from
00:48:46.580 the
00:48:46.720 standpoint
00:48:47.020 of
00:48:47.240 the
00:48:47.340 modern
00:48:47.580 West
00:48:47.800 Valian
00:48:48.040 system
00:48:48.320 but
00:48:48.680 for
00:48:48.820 people
00:48:49.160 who
00:48:50.500 like
00:48:50.760 the
00:48:50.920 Jews
00:48:51.120 and
00:48:51.520 broadly
00:48:52.020 support
00:48:52.480 the
00:48:52.600 state
00:48:52.700 of
00:48:52.780 Israel
00:48:53.080 when
00:48:53.620 Donald
00:48:53.940 Trump
00:48:54.220 who
00:48:54.340 has
00:48:54.420 a
00:48:54.520 town
00:48:54.700 named
00:48:54.900 after
00:48:55.140 him
00:48:55.260 and
00:48:55.320 who
00:48:55.400 has
00:48:55.520 Jewish
00:48:55.740 grandkids
00:48:56.200 comes
00:48:56.640 out
00:48:56.800 and
00:48:56.900 says
00:48:57.080 hey
00:48:57.340 this
00:48:57.980 is
00:48:58.100 kind
00:48:58.280 of
00:48:58.360 unacceptable
00:48:58.860 this
00:49:00.340 has
00:49:00.680 to
00:49:00.880 cause
00:49:01.120 real
00:49:01.420 introspection
00:49:02.080 and
00:49:03.680 there's
00:49:04.560 nothing
00:49:04.840 unjust
00:49:05.860 or knee
00:49:06.180 jerk
00:49:06.340 about
00:49:06.580 that
00:49:06.740 there's
00:49:06.900 nothing
00:49:07.100 really
00:49:07.400 knee
00:49:07.620 jerk
00:49:07.760 that
00:49:07.920 happens
00:49:08.160 after
00:49:08.360 two
00:49:08.560 years
00:49:08.840 it
00:49:09.640 should
00:49:09.820 be
00:49:10.120 a
00:49:10.280 real
00:49:10.480 cause
00:49:10.940 it
00:49:11.140 feels
00:49:11.660 as
00:49:11.880 though
00:49:12.220 things
00:49:14.320 are
