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.

00:02:45.520 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. 0.96

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. 0.71

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. 0.97

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. 0.89

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. 0.95

00:10:01.340 This guy, I won't even say his name. 0.95

00:10:04.000 If you're just listening right now, he ain't white. 0.72

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. 0.99

00:11:31.540 A white person will always be considered guilty until proven innocent because of the sin of whiteness. 0.67

00:11:37.080 A non-Christian will always be given the benefit of the doubt. 1.00

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.

00:14:44.280 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. 1.00

00:15:05.520 Two giant homosexual men who somehow have acquired a baby and who keep kissing the baby. 1.00

00:15:17.440 Okay, I've seen enough. 0.88

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. 0.96

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. 0.98

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. 0.91

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. 0.99

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, 1.00

00:20:32.140 and 58 living in homosexual unions. 0.64

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 0.55

00:22:22.660 to shut down this ridiculous argument

00:22:24.780 that two mommies or two daddies is exactly the same 0.80

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 0.98

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. 0.89

00:22:58.480 The children of lesbians and gay men 1.00

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? 0.78

00:23:23.960 Or alcohol used by children of lesbian mothers. 0.97

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? 0.74

00:23:39.160 I think I will. 0.61

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 1.00

00:24:04.420 or two ladies 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.94

00:26:23.300 because the homosexual households 0.93

00:26:25.200 are intrinsically less stable. 0.62

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 1.00

00:26:50.700 university in the world. 0.84

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 0.64

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 0.95

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 0.92

00:28:07.620 have terrible intentions 0.79

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% 0.87

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 0.97

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 0.60

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 0.68

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, 0.55

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 1.00

00:38:42.440 is a sex-crazed animal. 1.00

00:38:46.300 She was under his control. 1.00

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 0.87

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 0.87

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 0.99

00:39:37.580 to sell sex 0.96

00:39:40.600 in a normal way. 0.93

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 0.93

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 1.00

00:40:33.760 and the lunatics 1.00

00:40:34.340 and they 0.93

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 0.90

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 0.55

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.64

00:43:10.540 there's starvation 0.82

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 0.75

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 0.99

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 0.93

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 0.50

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 0.93

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 0.73

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 0.95

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 0.70

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 0.75

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 0.75

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 0.96

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 0.96

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 1.00

00:47:39.520 kill 1.00

00:47:39.680 one 1.00

00:47:40.140 kill 1.00

00:47:40.260 one 1.00

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 0.90

00:48:18.080 Hamas 0.96

00:48:18.660 is

00:48:19.480 it

00:48:19.680 to 1.00

00:48:20.200 decapitate 1.00

00:48:21.820 the 0.78

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 0.96

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

00:49:14.520 turning

00:49:14.860 and
