Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking,
00:00:11.620
so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives.
00:00:27.400
A lot of surprising lessons have emerged from the left over the past few days.
00:00:38.440
It turns out that our 400-year-old country, the United States of America,
00:00:43.840
was actually secretly built by Somalis who came here in the 1990s.
00:00:49.280
I learned that one from Democrat Congress Lady Pramila Jayapal.
00:00:52.340
It is apparently racist to think that Europe should be populated by Europeans.
00:00:59.820
I learned that one from The Economist magazine.
00:01:05.100
The very, very black man arrested for planting the January 6th pipe bombs
00:01:36.980
The apotheosis of this conversation about immigration, about identity, about sovereignty,
00:01:44.080
specifically about Somalis, comes in the form of a video of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry
00:01:49.540
trying desperately to choke down disgusting Somali food.
00:01:54.360
It's my favorite video on the whole internet right now.

The man who you thought was a black man arrested after five years for planting the pipe bombs
00:03:25.940
in front of the DNC and the RNC on January 6th.
00:03:28.580
That man, according to Jake Tapper, is actually secretly white.
00:03:36.620
Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the DC suburbs, is charged with transporting
00:03:41.880
an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of
00:03:49.020
CNN observed local and federal law enforcement outside his home.
00:03:54.380
Now, the picture, for those of you watching, the picture of the smiling, very, very obviously,
00:03:59.320
phenotypically black man, that picture that's there was not actually being shown by CNN.
00:04:05.960
CNN just wanted its viewers to believe what Jake Tapper was saying, which is that he was
00:04:09.760
This does remind me of the killing of Trayvon Martin.
00:04:13.220
Trayvon Martin, this young black guy who was killed in an altercation that became very
00:04:19.840
And it was reported everywhere, not just by Jake Tapper, not just on CNN, but everywhere
00:04:26.960
It was reported that George Zimmerman, the killer of Trayvon Martin, was a white guy.
00:04:34.080
And then, days, weeks later, pictures of George Zimmerman emerged.
00:04:39.220
And George Zimmerman was the most Hispanic-looking guy you've ever seen in your entire life, just
00:04:44.880
a big, giant, cholo-looking guy, and doesn't look really even slightly white.
00:04:50.860
Not nary an octoroon white was George Zimmerman, or at least did he look?
00:04:57.280
And what did all of the establishment media do?
00:05:05.260
I guess you can be biracial, but you told me he was a white guy.
00:05:10.620
Now you're trying, you say, well, we weren't wrong.
00:05:14.540
The dark Hispanics are the ones that are really good and pay their taxes and are wonderful
00:05:22.540
But the moment a Hispanic commits a crime, or not even a crime, even just commits a controversial
00:05:29.460
Because white, in their parlance, just means bad.
00:05:35.260
The guy who planted the January 6th pipe bombs, he might be black as the heart of the Congo.
00:05:40.200
But because he did something bad, something that's inconvenient for the liberal order,
00:05:47.380
Because white people have to do the bad stuff, and non-white people have to do the good stuff.
00:05:53.120
A CNN panelist sounded off, said that a lot, not just her, but a lot of people were shocked
00:05:58.600
that the January 6th pipe bomber was a black guy.
00:06:02.160
Maybe he put a bomb at the DNC because he believed the Democrats stole the election
00:06:08.000
because Republicans and conspiracy theorists pushed that, and he put the bomb at the RNC
00:06:12.900
because the vice president, who was about to be sworn in, was going to ride by that area.
00:06:20.760
There are many scenarios that the prosecution will have to play out this case.
00:06:24.780
But I'm just going to say the thing out loud that I think everyone is not saying
00:06:28.760
and is actually surprised, and why I think Janine Pirro is actually saying it.
00:06:32.320
I think the fact that this man is a black man is surprising to people.
00:06:35.660
I think people thought this was going to be a white man that did this.
00:06:38.820
They were going to be able to say he was a part of the progressive left.
00:06:41.100
And the fact that there's a black man that is saying,
00:06:42.960
I, too, was susceptible to conspiracy theorists that the president
00:06:46.260
and conservative podcasters were pushing that this election was stolen
00:06:51.100
is a fact that they were not expecting, and now everyone is on their heels
00:06:56.600
And I think that might be also why you think, let's not believe his actual story right now.
00:07:02.220
Okay, what I'm supposed to say now, what I, a right-wing political commentator,
00:07:09.420
am supposed to say, a podcaster, what I'm supposed to say is,
00:07:15.800
She assumed it would be a white guy, and then it was a black guy.
00:07:20.260
And if I were appealing to race hustling, what I'm supposed to say is,
00:07:24.860
Black guys are way more violent than white guys.
00:07:30.320
But can I say something without everybody getting mad?
00:07:41.160
We were all kind of surprised it was a black guy.
00:07:46.660
Because this is the sort of crime that is usually committed by a white guy.
00:07:52.320
It's the sort of crime that is usually committed by a white leftist.
00:07:57.620
She's trying to make him seem like he's a right winger.
00:08:03.240
We do know that his family is involved in very left-wing businesses
00:08:08.460
We do know that he committed an act of anarchist terrorism,
00:08:12.920
which is overwhelmingly associated with the left.
00:08:18.960
However, she's trying to spin it and say, no, no,
00:08:22.480
this isn't the stereotypical person who commits this crime.
00:08:26.480
The stereotypical person who commits this crime is a white leftist,
00:08:30.980
The stereotypical person who commits this crime is the Antifa guy who threw an
00:08:34.440
explosive at my event at University of Pittsburgh, who's in federal prison right now.
00:08:39.860
It's not that white people are violent and black people are not violent.
00:08:42.560
Obviously, if you just look at crime statistics,
00:08:44.680
black guys are much more likely to commit violent crime.
00:08:48.160
But it's usually not this kind of violent crime.
00:08:50.460
The real kind of crazy domestic terrorism stuff is more likely to be white guys,
00:08:59.400
Okay, I'm going to get credit where credit's due.
00:09:08.000
Now, speaking of black men, Ilhan Omar just went on CBS Face the Nation.
00:09:12.480
And she was asked about the White House's comments that the Somalis don't really assimilate and they
00:09:20.660
And she came to the conclusion that asking Somalis to assimilate to American culture is Nazism.
00:09:30.980
I want to ask you something else that the architect of the president's immigration policy, Stephen Miller, said.
00:09:40.900
no magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders.
00:09:44.600
At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands.
00:09:50.400
What do you make of this argument of failure to assimilate and sort of ruining America?
00:09:58.800
I mean, when I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist rhetoric, it reminds me, yes,
00:10:06.100
it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany.
00:10:16.200
We are productive part of this nation and we will continue to be.
00:10:22.300
So, the thing I notice about her answer is even beyond the ridiculous claims,
00:10:31.680
Stephen Miller is a Nazi, this right-wing Jew in the Trump administration who just wants to deport
00:10:39.880
Beyond the Somalis, they contribute to America.
00:10:45.720
They're counterproductive to America because they defraud our welfare system to the tune of a
00:10:52.960
And then when they're not defrauding the welfare system, they're just using the welfare system
00:10:56.560
in a, I guess, legitimate way, but they're still taking resources from the country.
00:11:01.260
But beyond those two things, the most notable part about her answer is she never actually
00:11:08.920
Miller's point is that the Somalis don't assimilate.
00:11:13.700
She goes, here's a Nazi and Somalis are great and they're productive and they add to the economy.
00:11:24.400
She's, she dresses differently than Americans do.
00:11:27.680
And actually in some ways, the way she dresses is more tasteful than the way that some Americans
00:11:44.340
And part of the proof that that's bad is that the Democrats don't even answer the question
00:11:49.040
because the Democrats don't want them to assimilate either.
00:11:51.440
And at the very least, they know that they do not.
00:11:56.960
And it's my absolute favorite video going around the internet right now.
00:12:02.000
Now, this is a Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Fry, who has to suck up to the Somalis because
00:12:11.000
they're the people who elect him because they conquered Minneapolis.
00:12:15.640
He tries to babble out a few words of Star Wars language every now and again to suck up
00:12:21.280
He'll stand there as the Somali Minneapolis police official starts saying that they're
00:12:27.280
going to fight the Trump administration, federal law enforcement, ICE.
00:12:32.180
And then Jacob Fry doesn't understand a lick of this, but he's just kind of nodding along.
00:12:39.120
Yes, oh yes, we love whatever you're saying in Somalian.
00:12:47.500
He said, it's not even the right one that anyway.
00:12:49.920
So he goes, he has dinner at some Somali restaurant and he's sitting there eating out
00:12:56.040
of paper plates and whatever kind of flatware they've assembled thrown together in the Somali
00:13:02.500
He's sitting next to some Somali guy and he puts on one of the least persuasive performances
00:13:09.880
Now, before we get to that, before we get to the food that that man found obviously repulsive,
00:13:15.180
I want to tell you about good, delicious American food from Good Ranchers.

I hosted my family reunion over the weekend and they don't tell them tales at a school.

He goes, Michael, I got to know, is the Good Ranchers, I want to do a freezer check.

00:14:58.560
Without further ado, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry trying to choke down whatever
00:15:18.040
He's got the spoon and the tell that this is gross is, well, one, he looks like he's about
00:15:27.960
I don't think Somalis make cookies, but whatever he's eating, he's going to toss it.
00:15:32.120
And he's sitting there and he's got this spoon and he's going, and then he just uses his spoon
00:15:39.120
like he's a little toddler who doesn't want to eat his vegetables.
00:15:41.560
He's using a spoon to just move the food around in the bowl.
00:15:49.280
He's, but he's, man, the less active his mouth is at taking another bite, the more active his spoon
00:16:02.260
Oh, Ahmed, you, there's this guy sitting next to him just grinning ear to ear.
00:16:08.060
And you can't tell if it's because he, he's enjoying the fact that he thinks Jacob Fry
00:16:16.040
Or if he's enjoying the fact that Jacob Fry obviously hates it, he gets a kick out of
00:16:53.620
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, but this is, this is a warning.
00:16:58.020
Some of us conservatives are going to look at this and say, ha, take that Minnesota.
00:17:03.940
You're the only state that voted against Reagan in 84.
00:17:06.300
You've been libs for a long time and you get what you deserve.
00:17:09.880
The fact that you've been overrun by Somalis, yeah, you deserve that.
00:17:13.980
And the fact that you have to undergo this humiliation ritual, Jacob Fry, where you're
00:17:18.280
eating this Tatooine slop and you have to choke it down with a pained smile on your face.
00:17:27.920
That's coming to a city near you because of the sheer scope of mass migration.
00:17:34.740
The largest movement of people in recorded history has been the movement of people into
00:17:42.880
All the more so true today as the migration has kept up.
00:17:45.580
One of the big problems about migration is they don't just stay in the first place that
00:17:54.080
It's going to be everywhere else problems soon enough for a couple of reasons.
00:17:57.480
One, people move and this is a country and you're able to move from one state to another
00:18:01.260
And two, because the native population of the United States across races, it's not even
00:18:07.360
Across what races, the native population of the United States doesn't have kids and the
00:18:13.080
So it's going to shift the demographics even more.
00:18:16.600
And this round of immigrants doesn't assimilate that well.
00:18:20.500
There are always problems of assimilation, even in the best of circumstances.
00:18:24.380
You know, early 1920s, where there's really no welfare and where there's rampant discrimination
00:18:29.880
against immigrant groups and where those immigrants come here, especially you think of
00:18:33.940
the Irish had previously come and then the Italians, the Jews, people from Southern
00:18:40.000
and Eastern Europe coming in and they say, hey, no, we're not speaking Italian in our
00:18:50.080
Obviously, we're not in that situation anymore.
00:18:52.240
Now, the predominant culture says don't assimilate.
00:18:57.140
Pass me more of that cantina gruel that Jacob Fry is choking down.
00:19:01.580
The other reason, though, I think that the clip has gone viral, other than how funny it
00:19:08.000
is to watch him choke it down, is because the last desperate argument for mass migration,
00:19:14.060
the last one, they say, oh, these guys, they're not committing any crime.
00:19:17.340
You say, first of all, all the illegal ones, by definition, are committing crimes.
00:19:20.300
And two, they actually do commit a lot of crimes.
00:19:22.000
And actually, the ones who come across the border, they all work with the cartels.
00:19:27.520
Okay, well, they don't really use welfare resources.
00:19:30.900
They use way more welfare resources than the native population in the United States.
00:19:34.960
And in a lot of cases, they just defraud the system to the tune of a billion bucks
00:19:37.660
to send it to a Somalian terror group called Al-Shabaab.
00:19:42.200
They're not a net positive for the American economy.
00:19:46.260
It's difficult to make the argument they're a net positive.
00:19:48.680
Okay, well, what's the final desperate argument?
00:19:54.220
Yes, your sister might have been raped on the street, and your home might have been broken
00:19:58.760
into, and you can't walk out at night after 8 p.m., but have you ever had an authentic
00:20:06.820
Even tacos, I was like, I'll take it or leave it.
00:20:10.040
But it takes like two immigrants into a country to get the food.
00:20:17.100
You don't need 50 million people to get a taco.
00:20:20.900
It takes one guy to make a taco, and then that guy can teach other people here.
00:20:25.100
And you don't need, so even if you do like, I'm lukewarm on tacos, but even if you really
00:20:35.220
But the funniest thing about this clip is, even that argument falls flat.
00:20:40.900
Because no one likes Somali food, because it's gross.
00:20:43.760
I was talking to an associate of mine the other day, who's a Kurd.
00:20:50.920
And we're talking, we actually in Nashville, there are a lot of Kurds.
00:20:54.780
A lot of people from the Middle East, the Levant, make really good food.
00:21:00.020
I'll get into a nice kebab, a nice little shawarma.
00:21:05.260
I know you're not supposed to say this on the right.
00:21:07.780
You're not supposed to, you have to hate Indians now.
00:21:21.240
So even that argument, okay, now we take that away.
00:21:23.300
So then the question, which I posed on the show last week,
00:21:31.360
And the only argument, the only argument is we feel bad.
00:21:37.360
We feel bad for them, which comes out of a good place, a place of Christian charity.
00:21:43.140
It's misplaced because we're doing the wrong thing about that.
00:21:47.540
We feel bad for them and we feel bad about ourselves.
00:21:50.460
We believe erroneously in most cases that we have wronged every people of the world.
00:21:56.460
That we've committed some crime and our penance is that we need to open our borders and lose our country.
00:22:00.700
And you can kind of make the plausible argument when it comes to Latin America, kind of.
00:22:07.200
Again, I don't find it persuasive, but you can kind of make it, okay, yeah, we took some lands that were previously controlled by the Spanish.
00:22:18.040
You could kind of make the argument with Afghanistan.
00:22:24.520
We've only ever tried to help Somalia and they've never contributed anything to our country.
00:22:36.360
Now, this has led to a major change in President Trump's view of immigration.
00:22:43.520
And I can't believe this went entirely unnoticed.
00:22:46.160
This has been the big issue, specifically Trump's big issue since 2015.
00:22:50.180
Over the weekend, he radically changed his stance on immigration towards something that I have been calling for for many years.
00:22:59.400
And some other conservatives who are particularly a little more rock-ribbed have been calling for for many years.
00:23:13.120
It's a trusted name built to last with years of relentless engineering behind it.
00:23:16.820
But those hood-style knockoffs, they cannot keep up in heavy rain.
00:23:22.220
Water pours right over the edge, straight to your foundation.
00:23:25.600
In lighter rain, leaves and debris flow right in the gap.

Leaf Filter works better because it is topped by surgical-grade stainless steel and micromesh,
00:23:34.620
so water is channeled in while debris is filtered out.

In this episode, very, very important episode of Michael Ann.
00:24:17.320
Michael Ann, the Sharia survivor, I sit down with author and human rights activist Sabatina James
00:24:21.580
to hear her extraordinary and harrowing story from being promised to marry her cousin as an infant
00:24:26.840
to escaping a forced marriage to surviving the threat of an honor-based death sentence under Sharia law,
00:24:31.760
her parents traveling around trying to murder her.
00:24:34.100
Sabatina opens up about the brutality that she faced under Islam and how she found freedom,
00:24:38.860
Christianity, and a new mission to rescue others still trapped in that system.
00:24:52.680
In my case, I was promised to my cousin when I was born.
00:24:56.400
There in that living room of my parents, my mother and my father and a Muslim scholarly person
00:25:03.440
and my cousin from Pakistan, they had invited him to come over.
00:25:16.120
The Muslim scholar, he folded his hands, said, you know what happens in Islam when you leave the religion.
00:25:32.040
It's torturing the convert so that he can become Muslim again.
00:25:37.840
Please don't let us do what we have to do otherwise.

President Trump has just radically changed his immigration position.
00:26:07.120
Trump posts on Truth Social an image of a block of text that was not original.
00:26:17.520
But Trump just takes this block of text and tweets it.
00:26:24.900
Says, a century ago, President Calvin Coolidge signed into law the Immigration Act of 1924.
00:26:29.140
He stated plainly, new arrivals should be limited to our own capacity to absorb them.
00:26:34.160
For this purpose, it is now necessary to enact a policy of restricted immigration.
00:26:37.820
The 1924 Act passed the House and Senate with overwhelming support.
00:26:46.400
The border patrol outright banned immigrants from certain countries that we viewed as incompatible with our culture.
00:26:51.080
It dramatically reduced the number of people coming into the country.
00:26:53.500
Provided an opportunity for the recent great wave of immigrants to assimilate.
00:26:56.780
By the 40s and 50s, American society thrived with a booming economy, rising middle class, common culture, and limited immigration.
00:27:06.760
Since then, we have experienced decades of historic immigration, both legal and illegal.
00:27:11.320
Today, we have higher levels of foreign-born than the early 1900s by both raw number and percentage of the population.
00:27:18.100
This mass immigration has also included vastly different cultures than the mostly European immigrants we accepted then.
00:27:23.640
It's obvious that we once again need to make a national policy shift, and it should be bipartisan.
00:27:30.160
So it's not that Trump wrote that, but he just posted that block of text without any further comment, as if to say, I endorse all of this text.
00:27:41.420
And it's really crucial because there are three views you can hold on immigration.
00:27:49.000
It's held by the left and by the Chamber of Commerce Republicans, which is we need more illegal immigration.
00:27:56.700
We don't want to do a thing about illegal immigration.
00:27:58.960
The only thing we want to do is give him amnesty, encourage even more of it.
00:28:02.880
We want illegal immigration, and we want legal immigration.
00:28:06.440
Then there's the, I'll call it what, the proceduralist conservative answer.
00:28:13.420
This is kind of squishy, but this was GOP orthodoxy for decades, which is we got to do something about illegal immigration.
00:28:27.740
They would say, you know what, I want to stop illegal immigration, and I want more legal immigration than ever.
00:28:33.900
So it's not, the problem's not the immigration, it's just how you do it.
00:28:37.260
It's not the substance of what's happening, it's the procedure to get there.
00:28:41.740
And by the way, that position was Trump's position.
00:28:49.120
This was one area where I disagreed with President Trump on the campaign trail.
00:28:54.080
You know, obviously, people are going to have disagreements.
00:28:56.980
President Trump, he gets it right 99.789% of the time.
00:29:00.640
But on certain things, I've been pretty blunt about my disagreements with the White House.
00:29:04.980
In the first term, I disagreed with the First Step Act.
00:29:07.100
A few other things around the IVF, a few other things along the way.
00:29:09.600
But that was the Trump position, and I think it was probably the only politically salient position.
00:29:15.440
In fact, had I been advising the Trump campaign, I was not.
00:29:18.420
But had I been advising the Trump campaign back in 2016, I might have told him to endorse that position.
00:29:22.880
Because that was probably the most based position, the most right-wing, you know, conservative position you could hold at the time.
00:29:30.200
We want to stop illegal, but we want more legal immigration.
00:29:33.780
But there was always the elusive third position, which is the conservative position.
00:29:40.080
Which is, hey guys, it's not just the procedure.
00:29:45.160
We just have too many immigrants from places that are too incompatible with the United States.
00:29:58.880
I don't hold an eternal, for all times, ideological position.
00:30:02.980
We either need lots of immigration, or we need to totally cut immigration off entirely.
00:30:07.600
My view of this issue, like my view of virtually all issues, puts prudence first as the paramount political virtue.
00:30:14.400
It says, look, sometimes it's fine, or maybe even good to have immigration.
00:30:24.040
In the 19-teens, you're going to have one immigration policy.
00:30:27.440
And in the 1920s and 30s, you're going to have a different immigration policy.
00:30:31.520
And it kind of just depends on the circumstances on the ground.
00:30:38.460
And now, I think we are very clearly at a place where we need drastically less migration of all sorts.
00:30:53.200
I think most people, not most people on TV, not most people in Congress, but most actual Americans.
00:30:58.560
If you talk to most actual Americans, that's where they are.
00:31:02.900
You know, I can't, I don't, I get on the train, I walk down the street, I don't hear English.
00:31:08.280
And people are forming their own little enclaves.
00:31:12.580
They are trying to get one over on the native population here.
00:31:15.860
In some cases, they're succeeding, defrauding us to the tune of a billion bucks.
00:31:34.700
I think it was the conservative position, you know, even before, even when President Trump
00:31:45.640
And that's where everyone else all along the way should be as well.
00:31:50.920
Because the liberal line is that immigrants built this country.
00:31:57.260
You would even hear many conservatives say this for years.
00:32:00.920
And Pramila Jayapal, Democrat Congress lady, she's taken that argument to its logical extreme.
00:32:11.140
She comes out and she says, immigrants built this country.
00:32:14.580
Somalis, who are immigrants, Somalis built the United States of America.
00:32:19.820
The majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants
00:32:27.840
from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they're from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants
00:32:34.120
have built this country and make this country what it is today.
00:32:40.880
So, I think, like, literally the first ever Somali on American soil, I think that person got here in the 1920s.
00:32:52.600
There were a handful, I mean a handful of Somalis in this country.
00:32:58.160
There were exactly zero before the early 20th century.
00:33:04.440
1607, Jamestown, 1620, the Mayflower, to 1920s, not one Somali here.
00:33:14.800
And yet, amazingly, the country was built over those years.
00:33:18.880
But then there were essentially no Somalis until the 1990s.
00:33:22.160
And then you had this flood of Somalis coming over.
00:33:32.480
Not even knocking individuals, just as a group.
00:33:37.060
And the country was obviously not built by them.
00:33:41.000
The country was not built by plenty of immigrants.
00:33:43.520
In fact, the immigrant groups that started coming here in the 1960s,
00:33:47.540
the mid to late 1960s, South Asian, a lot more Middle Eastern, African.
00:33:55.720
Those groups, I don't think we could say they built America.
00:34:14.780
And conquered most of the globe before any of them ever got here.
00:34:26.340
All of our institutions, our universities, our government institutions,
00:34:30.580
our cultural institutions, Hollywood, the news media, everything.
00:34:36.580
All of that stuff was built before any of them got there.
00:34:40.560
And in the case of the people who got here since the 1960s,
00:34:44.140
everything's basically gotten worse since then.
00:34:57.440
We started killing a million of our own citizens a year.
00:35:08.500
So if you say, well, it was immigrants built that.
00:35:10.200
You say, well, I wouldn't be bragging about it, buddy.
00:35:13.740
But then it gets down to a deeper myth that we're told about the country.
00:35:20.000
You know, this gets back to what we were talking about.
00:35:21.100
Why are we taking all these Somalis in to defraud us and commit crimes and stuff?
00:35:25.820
And we feel bad for other people, which is a good thing.
00:35:27.960
We should have charity, which has to be rightly ordered.
00:35:34.960
And this manifests in the idea that immigrants built our country.
00:35:38.200
The settlers, Jamestown, Plymouth, the pilgrims, the colonials, the brave men who fought the American Revolution, the 19th century.
00:36:00.920
And I think those guys, the founding fathers, the men before the founding fathers, the settlers, those guys deserve a lot of credit.
00:36:12.260
Sometimes they'll say, well, you know who really built this country?
00:36:15.220
Even before the immigrants, it was the slaves built this country.
00:36:22.360
Throughout history, all societies at some point, all areas of the world have had slavery.
00:36:32.060
If you look at ancient Sparta, there was a whole class of slaves called the Helots.
00:36:36.860
Would anyone, would any historian look back and say, well, it was the Helots who built Sparta?
00:36:50.120
When you look at Russia, Russia had serfdom, a form of slavery until very recently.
00:36:56.600
Would anyone say, oh, yes, the distinguishing feature about Russia, that which gives Russia its culture, its religious culture, its music culture, Tchaikovsky, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev?
00:37:15.320
Would you say the great cathedrals that were built, the great monuments, the great works of art and sculpture, Bernini?
00:37:22.640
Would you say, no, actually, you know who really built all those cathedrals?
00:37:29.840
But no, the thing that gives it its form, the civilization, its distinguishing features, it's not just the worker bees.
00:37:37.640
And it's these great men whose names you know who had great thoughts and great visions and who gave these institutions shape.
00:37:47.680
And a big part of the political shift in America is we always understood that.
00:37:54.440
And we try to give credit where credit's due and bring people in and include people and make life more equitable.
00:38:00.980
But we still defended the guys who built our civilization.
00:38:04.320
And then also right around the 1960s, that changed.
00:38:11.140
And we started to hate ourselves as a consequence.
00:38:13.280
And we are palpably losing our country as a result.
00:38:19.340
You don't want to have an excessive love of your own excellences.
00:38:30.020
Likewise, you don't want to have an excessive contempt for oneself.
00:38:38.880
And happily, in this case, that proper love for yourself is in accord with the historical facts.
00:38:45.040
We can be nice to Somalis, but we should not be suicidally nice to Somalis.
00:38:50.160
And we should not pretend that Somalis built America.
00:38:55.580
Now, speaking of Minneapolis-St. Paul, I want to tell you about the original St. Paul.
00:39:06.920
It is one of the organizations I most love in the country.
00:39:09.720
I have my St. Ignatius Study Bible, which was edited by the founder of the St. Paul Center, Scott Hahn,
00:39:19.400
This episode is sponsored by the St. Paul Center, because America has reached a cultural
00:39:26.580
They are much more interested in the eternal questions than they have been at any point
00:39:30.820
In their search, more and more people are turning to the Bible for answers.
00:39:34.880
We should probably have expected this, because this is like the book that shaped our whole
00:39:40.460
civilization and from which virtually all of the other works of art derive.
00:39:46.980
But even if you don't believe that, it's been around a pretty long time.
00:39:52.480
It's no surprise that people would rediscover this.
00:39:54.780
Bible Across America is a nationwide Bible study, the biggest Bible study in the country,
00:39:58.680
hosted by the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.
00:40:00.920
It's a seven-week Bible study exploring the personal challenge of affirming Jesus as teacher

My favorite comment yesterday is from, or this is on Friday.
00:40:35.080
This is from Dr. Calibration7984, who says, he's quoting me.
00:40:39.040
He says, there are a lot of sailors in the Knowles family.
00:40:41.240
I was talking about how a lot of my family was in the Navy.
00:40:43.280
There are a lot of sailors in the Knowles family, he writes.
00:40:45.860
All of Michael's light in the loafers proclivities have been explained.
00:40:56.920
You know, I know I've got a little tap dancing training.
00:41:02.500
And I, I, you know, some of this is, I'm Italian, but you know, there's a fine line
00:41:07.640
between Italian and a little bit, I don't know, flamboyant.
00:41:13.320
But I walked right into that when I pointed out that there's a lot of Navy in it.
00:41:16.340
But I tell you what, my heroic grandfather was a Navy captain.
00:41:34.340
Speaking of immigration, one last point on immigration.
00:41:45.500
And the national security strategy looked at NATO, our NATO members specifically looked
00:41:49.680
at Europe and pointed out that Europe is quickly losing its European identity.
00:41:55.280
This is just from the national security strategy.
00:41:57.100
Over the long term, it is more plausible, more than plausible that within a few decades at
00:42:01.040
the latest certain NATO members will become majority non-European.
00:42:05.940
As such, it is an open question whether they will view their place in the world or their
00:42:09.580
alliance with the United States in the same way as those who signed the NATO charter.
00:42:12.800
When NATO was established after the Second World War, you got all these allies who say, well, look, we are part of the West.
00:42:20.900
We're not in alliance with Russia, which was the other global power at the time.
00:42:26.300
We're certainly not in alliance with China, which was a backwater.
00:42:28.900
We're not in alliance with India, which was also a backwater.
00:42:33.720
So America is the strongest country in the West right now.
00:42:36.240
And we're going to have this broad Western alliance led by the United States.
00:42:39.660
It's part of the character of our civilization.
00:42:43.200
Well, what happens when all those Westerners are gone?
00:42:48.740
Not all of them, but what happens when they lose their majority in their own countries?
00:42:53.120
Let's say, let's just put ourselves in the 1950s and 60s.
00:42:56.020
Let's say that all of a sudden, France, all the French went away and they were replaced by Russians.
00:43:00.820
Well, would it make sense for France to be in NATO at that point?
00:43:03.320
Well, NATO was the American-led coalition against the Russian-Soviet-led coalition of the Warsaw Pact.
00:43:10.280
No, they would switch because you'd switch the people out.
00:43:12.860
And so it wouldn't matter that you still had the Champs-Elysees and you still had the Eiffel Tower and you still had tasty baguette.
00:43:18.360
Well, you wouldn't have baguette for long, I guess.
00:43:21.180
But if you switch out the people, you switch out the country.
00:43:25.740
So it wouldn't make sense for them to be in NATO.
00:43:27.420
Well, okay, if we look ahead a few decades, a lot of these NATO countries won't be European anymore.
00:43:36.840
So, national security strategy says our broad policy for Europe should prioritize reestablishing conditions of stability within Europe and strategic stability with Russia.
00:43:49.000
Cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations.
00:43:53.900
You know, build up the businesses and the markets.
00:43:58.120
Encourage Europe to take action, to combat overcapacity, whatever.
00:44:03.160
The key line here is cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory, meaning to stop being majority European.
00:44:13.440
Shawshank Joshi, who is defense editor at The Economist, mocks this.
00:44:19.240
He invades against this U.S. national security strategy.
00:44:22.920
He says, Trump's national security strategy, make Europe white again.
00:44:29.440
You know, it's going to become majority non-European.
00:44:31.480
There's a real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.
00:44:34.560
He's quoting from the national security strategy.
00:44:38.600
He's implying that Trump national security strategy is to make Europe white again.
00:44:56.120
He's saying his strategy is to make Europe European again.
00:45:04.460
Obviously, if we went in and said, hey, some African country is going to become white now, not black.
00:45:12.560
It happened to varying degrees, you know, in the colonial projects up through, you know, the protests against apartheid and all the rest.
00:45:22.400
And yet here, the economist defense editor seems to be implying that we have to replace the native population of Europe.
00:45:36.720
It seems to me pretty obvious that Europe should remain white.
00:45:39.340
It should not become, you know, a hotbed of Islam or something.
00:45:42.880
The Muslims have been trying to conquer Europe since the 7th century.
00:45:45.100
They got pretty close starting in the 8th century, 732, Battle of Poitiers, Battle of Lepanto, Battle of Vienna, the conquest of Iberia.
00:45:55.160
You know, they've been trying it for a really long time.
00:46:00.760
So isn't, if we can agree, if we can agree that Europe maybe should keep Europeans in it, then let me take this to the next level.
00:46:16.360
Would it be bad if there were no white people left in America?
00:46:21.540
America was founded by white people who made alliances with Indians, who then later brought African slaves, who then later took in certain migrants who were less obviously white and not Northern European.
00:46:35.220
And then it was well over 90, 95% white or more for the vast majority of its history.
00:46:45.000
So I'm not saying it's got to remain 95% white or it's got to return to being 95%.
00:46:53.500
Would you, could you conclude it would be bad if every single white person were out of America?
00:47:00.420
Because over time we took in the vast majority of migration being not white and then the white people, the native population here didn't have kids at above replacement birth rate.
00:47:10.960
And so they're just someday, many decades from now, there were no white people left in America.
00:47:18.380
That nobody left in America had any connection genetically as a matter of family tradition, as a matter of common culture to the founding stock of the country that like built the whole country?
00:47:32.040
Would that, would that maybe not be a great thing?
00:47:34.220
You see how, you see how modestly I'm trying to frame this question?
00:47:37.000
Because I think most people of all backgrounds, immigrant, non-immigrant, white, black, yellow, red, everybody in the middle.
00:47:43.600
I think everybody would agree that would be probably not great, probably not advisable.
00:47:49.460
So it would be like a little wrong, not quite fitting about that.
00:47:52.420
Okay, well then that means that the conversation over national quotas and what kind of immigration we're taking in, nationally, ethnically, everything in between, that means that that is a legitimate question.
00:48:06.120
Now, obviously, that was how we talked about immigration until, in fact, even today, but certainly until 1965 and even today.
00:48:14.640
But if, if one admits that it would be bad if not a single white person were left in America, then it means that we really are having that conversation.
00:48:25.740
Today it's 60%, used to be, you know, 99%, whatever.
00:48:31.260
Very, oh, people don't want to have that conversation.
00:48:34.500
But, and you wouldn't really have to have the conversation so urgently if there were not an active policy in the United States, now over decades,
00:48:41.200
of the mass importation of people who are not particularly connected to the historic American culture and political tradition.
00:48:49.860
Okay, speaking of race, I know I'm running late.
00:48:52.260
I don't care because this ties in too perfectly and it's a, it's a real, it's a real knife in the heart situation.
00:49:02.500
She did that jeans ad and the joke was Sydney Sweeney's got great jeans because she's hot.
00:49:06.720
She's physically attractive, which comes a little bit from diet and exercise,
00:49:10.480
but she's just, you know, some people are just born hotter than others.
00:49:18.380
Now they wouldn't have said it if it were a hot black girl, but because it was a hot white girl, they did say it.
00:49:23.600
You're not allowed to talk about beauty when it comes to like white people like Sydney Sweeney.
00:49:27.540
And you remember her response after months and months of non-traversy.
00:49:31.200
Her response when asked by this GQ journalist was this.
00:49:33.960
The president tweeted about the jeans ad or truth socialed about the jeans ad.
00:49:40.440
And that just seems to me like a very crazy moment for anyone.
00:49:56.140
Wasn't the liberal journalist, wasn't that bad?
00:50:02.060
And then Sydney Sweeney just dead eyes, cold blood, stares right into her soul and goes, it was surreal.
00:50:10.840
The journalist says, well, I want to give you the opportunity to talk about this thing that's causing you a lot of problems.
00:50:16.040
And Sydney Sweeney says, yeah, when I want to talk, I'll talk.
00:50:24.540
And there are reports that she's a registered Republican and all the rest.
00:50:32.460
She tells People Magazine, I was honestly surprised by the reaction.
00:50:35.080
I did it because I love the jeans and I love the brand.
00:50:36.840
I don't support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign.
00:50:41.540
Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren't true.
00:50:45.120
Anyone that knows me knows I'm always trying to bring people together.
00:50:49.620
This is a kind of implicit, it's not a full apology.
00:50:53.760
But she says, people are ascribing these views to me.
00:50:56.280
Now, again, are they talking about these funny memes where they're saying she's like a Nazi now?
00:51:00.120
You know, she said like an Aryan goddess or something.
00:51:03.140
I don't think Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi or anything like that.
00:51:05.760
Or is she disavowing this broader association with the American right?
00:51:19.100
And that's evident in the social scientific numbers, you know, about disowning family members and supporting political violence.
00:51:28.800
It's always the left-wing organizations that use this.
00:51:35.280
In the past, my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press.
00:51:38.060
But recently, I've come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it.
00:51:42.800
So I hope this new year brings more focus to what connects us instead of what divides us.
00:51:45.800
All right, so this is liberals in Hollywood telling her she's got to change strategy.
00:51:51.280
And they're exploiting her, and she's getting bad advice.
00:51:55.580
I'm speculating, but I think the reason she's doing this is because her recent movies have bombed.
00:52:00.000
So she had this movie in November of this year.
00:52:08.040
This movie, Americana, half a million bucks reportedly.
00:52:14.340
Echo Valley was not released at the box office, but it had low streams, I guess, in June.
00:52:18.840
These are movies I'd never heard of until this morning.
00:52:23.360
And I think probably it's publicists and Hollywood Libs saying,
00:52:25.980
hey, you're getting crushed because you did that jeans ad, and you need to come out and apologize.
00:52:40.180
It's been a brutal three months for dramas and comedies.
00:52:49.520
It's not Sidney Sweeney doing a commercial that was an excellent commercial and got a lot of attention.
00:52:56.840
Because I bet what's happening is these Libs in Hollywood are telling Sidney Sweeney,
00:53:02.600
Someone's telling her in Hollywood, your movies are bombing because people associate you with the right now.
00:53:08.080
And that jeans ad was a mistake, and you need to apologize for it.
00:53:11.160
And she comes out and does this kind of tepid, slight apology, and she takes their advice.
00:53:15.060
And ironically, I think the reason her movies are bombing is because all the movies are bombing because the liberals no longer have the cultural dominance they once did.
00:53:24.940
The cultural dominance of the left was expressed by the hit movies, by the common culture.
00:53:30.280
The fact that those don't really exist anymore proves to you that the left has lost its cultural hegemony, which is good.
00:53:41.920
It's this desperate grasp, this last gasp to say, hey, no, no, no, hold on.
00:53:46.020
We can still force Sidney Sweeney to toe the line.
00:53:50.640
The liberals won't give you your hit movies back.
00:53:59.260
The minute I saw that headline from people, I said, oh, no.
00:54:02.760
Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.
00:54:05.200
Her early leaf's a flower, but only so an hour.
00:54:08.360
Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day.
00:54:16.060
People are going to squish a little bit, but you don't have to, Sidney.
00:54:27.040
One of the main stories I wanted to talk about today.
00:54:37.120
You'll have to check out for two months free on all annual plans.
00:55:14.900
They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis.
00:55:25.280
They say the future and the past are known to him.
00:55:30.040
That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
00:55:34.060
That the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.
00:55:46.400
That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
00:55:52.660
The Merlin died long before you and I were born.
00:55:58.640
Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
00:56:10.900
The Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty.
00:56:15.540
And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
00:56:21.600
If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him.
00:56:28.040
A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.
00:56:42.780
There will be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:57:02.980
These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
00:57:10.160
They say Merlin slew 70 men with his own hands.
