00:00:00.000 President Trump brings back $30 to $50 million worth of oil as war booty from Venezuela.
00:00:06.360 And the funniest part of it all is that despite his messaging,
00:00:11.040 this military action actually wasn't really about oil. We'll get to what it was really about.
00:00:16.220 Then speaking of booty, an infamous porn lady publicizes an apparent religious conversion, 1.00
00:00:21.920 and no one knows how to react. And finally, speaking of weird sex stuff, you're going to 0.97
00:00:26.620 be shocked. Sit down if you're standing up, pull over if you're driving. The person who
00:00:32.140 tried to break into Vice President J.D. Vance's house with a hammer was

00:02:48.460 The guy who tried to break into J.D. Vance's house, his house in Ohio, not the Naval Observatory.
00:02:55.860 It would be even harder to break into the Naval Observatory. But J.D. Vance's home in Ohio. It's
00:03:01.700 funny, there's so much going on in the news, strikes on Venezuela, massive Somali fraud, all in between, 0.79
00:03:07.480 that a guy, a deranged, violent person trying to break into the home of the Vice President of the
00:03:13.020 United States, is like the fifth most important story. That one gets delayed by a day or two.
00:03:17.740 But anyway, we have to get to it because the guy who did it, allegedly, is a transvestite, 0.63
00:03:26.380 reportedly. Reportedly, allegedly, reportedly, allegedly. The guy's name is William DeFore,
00:03:31.380 but he apparently goes by the name Julia. We have his mugshot. He's very much a guy,
00:03:39.060 but certainly a confused guy. His parents are reportedly doctors. His father is reportedly
00:03:45.480 a Harvard graduate. The guy reportedly grew up in a very affluent neighborhood of Cincinnati,
00:03:52.520 Hyde Park, in a $1.3 million house. And his parents reportedly gave a bunch of money to Democrats.
00:03:59.040 Democrats. If you told a room of 100 people, 100 people who are reasonable, who are pretty attached
00:04:06.940 to reality, if you said, hey, close your eyes, a guy tried to smash his way into J.D. Vance's home
00:04:14.700 with a hammer. Describe that person. Every single person in the room would describe exactly what I
00:04:22.220 just read to you. Probably kind of a rich kid with Democrat yuppie parents who probably went to an
00:04:28.480 elite school, and he's probably got sexual identity issues, and you would be exactly right. 0.88
00:04:33.700 I don't even want to say it. I don't even want to say it because I have to say it on the show every
00:04:37.540 single day. But it's so contrary to the spirit and supposed wisdom of the age. But you know what?
00:04:43.180 I'm going to say it anyway. It's always the ones you most expect. It's always the ones you most
00:04:49.920 expect. However, on this issue, where we just, we know, hey, violence was committed against a
00:04:56.560 conservative, especially in the wake of the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. But even before that,
00:05:04.360 hey, violence was committed against a conservative on campus, in the public square,
00:05:09.500 in their home. You just know it's going to be some deranged leftist, probably from pretty cushy
00:05:16.720 circumstances, who thinks he's the opposite sex. You just know it because that's just what always 1.00
00:05:21.780 happens. However, now that that has become cliche, now that we just, now even the left seems to expect
00:05:29.880 this, I think we've turned a corner. The left realizes, the Democrats realize that they lost the
00:05:36.860 last election, largely because of the transgender issue, not because everyone's so hung up on sex
00:05:42.260 all the time, but because that is an easy way to recognize that someone has poor judgment.
00:05:49.240 If someone can't tell the difference between men and women, they probably can't tell much of anything 0.96
00:05:52.800 about the world. They probably have very poor judgment. And some Democrats are tuning into this,
00:05:57.840 including the front runner for the 2028 Democrat presidential nomination, Gavin Newsom,
00:06:02.140 who just yesterday had his press team make an anti-gay joke about a conservative commentator,
00:06:10.180 journalist, broadcaster. Nasty joke, you know, totally. But it's useful in as much as 0.98
00:06:18.120 it shows you that even the left is making gay jokes again. And nature is healing, and we're returning. 0.58
00:06:26.840 And the joke was, it was about Benny Johnson, who's a very nice guy, and he's maligned as being
00:06:32.420 a homosexual. He's got a beautiful wife, nice family, kids, but he's maligned as being a
00:06:37.360 homosexual. And it's one thing when it's his enemies on the right that do that. The fact that 0.88
00:06:42.760 it's a Democrat, a Democrat governor who's doing that. It was some joke about how he's on Grindr or
00:06:48.960 something like that. This is coming from a Gavin Newsom account. It actually makes me think,
00:06:53.060 one, you know, it's unfortunate. It's very nasty for Benny. But it's actually probably good for the
00:06:58.960 political ecosystem that the front runner for the Democrat nomination for president
00:07:04.960 realizes that the LGBT radical sexual revolution issues are so toxic that he's going to start 0.95
00:07:12.040 making like early 2000s middle school gay jokes. You're just waiting for Gavin Newsom in a press
00:07:18.900 conference to just, you know, point at some Republican and go, gay. You know, you think, 0.96
00:07:23.640 wow, man, that's crazy. You would have been called, you would have accused everyone else of being a
00:07:29.080 phobe or intolerant or this or that for years. Now that's shifting. But of course, they're not going
00:07:33.260 to admit it. Because Gavin Newsom is completely on board with all of the LGBT, LMNOP stuff. 1.00
00:07:38.580 Gavin Newsom was officiating so-called gay marriages over 10 years before Obergefell
00:07:43.720 redefined marriage at the federal level. Gavin Newsom is a radical sexual revolutionary. 0.53
00:07:47.940 Gavin Newsom came out just the other day and said, I want to see more trans kids. 0.99
00:07:51.500 One of the creepiest, groomiest, most psychotic statements I've ever heard out of an American 1.00
00:07:58.720 politician. That statement alone should be disqualifying for president.
00:08:03.940 But Gavin Newsom's whole political campaign is schizophrenic because on the one hand,
00:08:08.640 he realizes he can't be a woke leftist. He's got to seem moderate. He's got to make friends with
00:08:12.920 Charlie Kirk and with Steve Bannon on his podcast. But on the other hand, he realizes he'll never get
00:08:17.620 the nomination that way. And I think he's a true progressive. I think he's a true believer.
00:08:22.120 He was raised in radical leftist circumstances. I think this is all public reporting, so I'm not
00:08:27.920 telling tales out of school. His mother asked him to help her kill herself. I mean, I actually feel
00:08:34.560 pretty bad for Gavin Newsom. He's messed up, man. That guy is really messed up. But getting back to the
00:08:40.820 political examination here, what this means is that the Democrats broadly are caught. 0.98
00:08:46.820 They realize that it's a bad look that they are now being defined as a party by a bunch of psycho 0.99
00:08:53.780 tranny killers. The subject of basically every horror movie ever, psycho, Silence of the Lambs, 0.91
00:09:01.460 these guys who have weird sexual identity issues. So they don't want to be defined by that.
00:09:05.240 They want to seem like the party of normal. They want to be the party that has a hold of the common
00:09:10.260 sense, which is an important part of any political program. But they're still divorced from reality
00:09:15.880 themselves. So they don't know what to do. The way they're going to try to reconcile this
00:09:19.820 is say, well, it's okay to make anti-gay jokes at conservatives or whatever. It's okay to make jokes,
00:09:27.240 the implication of which is that it's bad to be gay. Because really what we're saying is bad is just 0.61
00:09:32.760 the hypocrisy. That's what they'll say. What's really bad is to not support the LGBT movement.
00:09:41.840 So we'll call you gay or trans or whatever, and that'll be the punchline of our joke. 1.00
00:09:46.780 But really, it would be fine if you were gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, 0.99
00:09:52.620 like Seinfeld joke. That would be fine. The real problem is the hypocrisy. That's how they're going
00:09:56.340 to try to threat it. But it's not working. This remains. This issue remains a massive liability for
00:10:03.760 the Democrats. Full stop. As long as the weird LGBT LMNOP psychos are trying to commit violence 1.00
00:10:10.460 against politicians and political figures and even try to break into the home of the vice president, 0.98
00:10:16.960 this is a live issue. Okay. Speaking of weird sex stuff, as I mentioned, the news has been so wild.
00:10:24.080 We're taking over Venezuela. Maybe we'll take over Greenland. There's a story I've been meaning to
00:10:27.700 get to for days, and we just haven't had time to. But I think it's culturally relevant,
00:10:31.860 which is that one of the porn ladies who slept with a thousand guys in one day 1.00
00:10:37.160 has just apparently had a religious conversion. There were two porn ladies who slept with a thousand 1.00
00:10:44.380 guys in one day in the last few months, and one of them seems totally unrepentant. One of them
00:10:51.500 might be repentant, but people don't know how to react to this apparent religious conversion.
00:10:55.120 We'll get to that momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about masa chips.
00:10:58.880 Go to masachips.com slash Knowles. You do not have to overhaul your whole life in 2026.

00:11:14.540 three ingredients. Organic, nixtamalized corn, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. I'm no
00:11:22.340 joke. The other day, I pulled up the bag of chips, and I said, oh, I said to Sweet Lalise, I said,
00:11:27.220 girl, this is really bad. I can't believe it. Did you get the nixtamalized one? It was just kind 0.97
00:11:32.340 of a funny word. And she goes, no, Mac, nixtamalized is good. I was like, I don't know what nixtamalized
00:11:37.020 means, but I know the chips are magnificent. Not only good in that you'll feel better, but they taste
00:11:42.500 magnificent because there's no seed oils, no mystery chemicals, just real food that tastes

00:12:23.880 gone. So this gal is Lily Phillips. I don't know if that's her real name or if that's a stage name, 0.88
00:12:30.320 nom de plume, as it were. But she's the one who has apparently had a religious conversion.
00:12:35.960 The other one who slept with over a thousand guys in a day, Bonnie Blue, does not appear to be 1.00
00:12:43.620 terribly repentant. But the question is, is Lily Phillips' conversion sincere? And I actually think
00:12:52.480 the broader question, even beyond is her conversion sincere, is how should Christians react to this?
00:12:59.080 Here's the video that Lily Phillips posted. This is a day to remember. It's got that nice
00:13:08.100 Kanye pop gospel song behind it. And she's in some kind of church, maybe Anglican or Episcopalian or
00:13:15.360 something. And it's a full immersion baptism in a bathtub, which maybe then it isn't Anglican.
00:13:21.640 You'd expect a little more formality to the Anglican or Episcopalian baptism. Maybe it's a,
00:13:26.360 I don't know. Maybe it's more of an evangelical type church. But I don't know what it is. We don't
00:13:32.400 really know. However, she says it's a day to remember. And then she did an interview about it.
00:13:37.980 And she says, I think for a while I'd kind of deviated from religion. And I think I was kind
00:13:41.960 of in denial for a lot of it. You think? I don't mean to make jokes. But well, I do mean to make jokes.
00:13:48.660 But not to attack this girl. Because she goes on. Quite a big thing happened more in my personal life
00:13:55.700 where I kind of felt the need to start speaking to God again. I hadn't really practiced faith for a
00:14:00.460 while. I just wanted to get re-baptized to kind of reinstate my relationship with God. Okay.
00:14:07.640 So right off the bat here, there's a major problem. And the problem is you can't get re-baptized.
00:14:14.580 First, baptism happens once. We actually say this in the creed. All of the flavors of Christianity,
00:14:24.120 even ones that are a little far flung from orthodoxy, but any of the flavors of Christianity
00:14:30.360 that at the very least recognize the creed say, I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
00:14:37.820 One baptism, not two baptisms. The reason that you're only baptized once
00:14:42.000 is that baptism is not a personal action of yours. Baptism is an action of God, the Holy Spirit.
00:14:50.080 It's the grace of God coming down. And God doesn't make mistakes. God doesn't screw up.
00:14:57.340 God doesn't act insufficiently. It works. When God acts on you, when you are baptized,
00:15:05.480 that leaves an indelible mark on your soul. You don't have to be re-baptized.
00:15:08.740 And yet I know people who have been re-baptized. You can't, I guess. It's like gay marriage. You 1.00
00:15:14.220 know, you can't. The sacrament works. Okay. But we, in our fallen, broken human life,
00:15:22.580 we just feel like, I don't know, we need to do something more sometimes. And we get it wrong.
00:15:28.580 So I get why people do it. What she's saying is, I felt a calling to God. And she reacted to that in
00:15:38.400 a way that is silly at best and, you know, like contrary to the religion at worst. But I think it 0.98
00:15:46.900 comes from a good place. And I know other people who have done it. She goes on. She says, there are a
00:15:52.520 lot of Christian girls who are in this industry, pornography. People might not know it and they 1.00
00:15:57.100 might not feel comfortable talking about it because of the judgment. I totally believe that.
00:16:00.540 I totally believe that there are a lot of girls who are baptized Christians, who feel a pull toward
00:16:09.060 Christianity, toward God, who work in pornography and all sorts of disreputable fields. Whether we're
00:16:14.440 talking about prostitution or whether we're talking about law and finance. I'm sure there are all sorts
00:16:20.180 of people who feel a tension between the work that they do and religious truth. However, here's where
00:16:27.260 it gets a little dicey. And I think this is why some people are attacking Lily Phillips. She says,
00:16:32.040 I'm definitely not claiming to be a traditional Christian at all. Okay. Obviously, I'm not against
00:16:37.360 gay marriage. Okay. I'm also pro-choice in favor of abortion. So I definitely don't have necessarily 0.59
00:16:44.560 traditional values, but that doesn't mean to say that I can't be Christian. Okay. I would just hope
00:16:51.840 that the Christian community welcomes me because I guess everyone's relationship with God is bespoke
00:16:56.540 to them. Okay. I think there are a lot of people who feel this way, at least in the early stages of
00:17:06.300 their conversion. But we have to clear a few things up. Christianity does not permit so-called gay
00:17:15.340 marriage. That is contrary to the Christian faith. The weird sex stuff broadly is contrary to the 1.00
00:17:22.900 Christian faith. And even beyond questions of religious revelation, just down to basic logic,
00:17:28.820 two opposing things cannot be simultaneously true in the same respect. That's the law of non-contradiction.
00:17:35.340 So, no. In as much as you believe these things of the world, you are opposing the Christian faith. 0.91
00:17:46.460 I am pro-abortion. The church, since the very beginning, has opposed abortion. You can see
00:17:54.700 proscriptions against abortion in the didache, the very first catechism of the church, all the way back
00:18:00.320 in antiquity just after the apostolic age. You can't do it. You can say that you're Christian 1.00
00:18:06.960 and you can say that you support killing babies, but those things are diametrically opposed. They're 0.99
00:18:13.460 totally in conflict with each other. She says, so I definitely don't have traditional values. Okay.
00:18:17.820 What do we mean traditional values? Are we talking about the traditions of China? No. Are we talking
00:18:23.180 about China has some different values than we do here? Are we talking about the traditions of Islam,
00:18:29.380 the caliphate? No. When we talk about traditional values in the English language, generally, we're
00:18:35.660 talking about the Christian tradition that built our civilization. So, if you say, I'm Christian,
00:18:41.760 but I don't have Christian values, that's confusing. You see how those things were opposed.
00:18:45.920 But that doesn't mean I can't be Christian. That's literally true in the sense that God acts.
00:18:52.400 God acts in the sacrament. And St. Peter tells us, baptism now saves you.
00:18:57.440 So, it is true that what delineates you, what demarcates you as a Christian is your baptism.
00:19:03.640 And you can be a baptized Christian and apostatize. And you would still be baptized. You would still 0.83
00:19:10.780 leave an indelible mark on your soul. That's why you don't have to be re-baptized. But
00:19:13.360 you do have free will. God gives you free will, and you can turn away from him.
00:19:19.500 And to turn away from the faith and to oppose the faith is to oppose him.
00:19:26.020 Because the faith is what he's telling you to do. It's the living institution that he gives you
00:19:30.180 with the Holy Spirit that won't leave you. So, you have the free will to turn away.
00:19:36.940 And I just hope the Christian community welcomes me. Well, we will welcome you. I will welcome you at
00:19:44.340 least. But you, not on your terms. We'll welcome you, but you gotta, and we're not gonna force you
00:19:52.240 to just, you know, do something that is maybe extremely difficult or impossible for you to do.
00:19:58.000 We're not expecting you to radically transform everything about your life all at once. But
00:20:02.320 if you want us to welcome you, that means you have to come here to the church.
00:20:07.760 Which means you have to give your assent to the church. Which means if two things are gonna,
00:20:13.020 there are two things here that are not like each other. And if they're gonna join together,
00:20:18.200 one of them has to change. The thing that's gonna change is not gonna be the church.
00:20:21.120 It's gonna have to be you. Which is true for all of us. It's true for all of us. Every time we go
00:20:26.600 into church. Every time we go into confession. Every time we go to receive the blessed sacrament.
00:20:31.580 Every time we go to mass. Every time we go into a chapel to pray. We are imperfect. All of us.
00:20:38.960 And when we go there, we are saying, I want to be transformed by you, Lord. I don't want you and
00:20:45.740 your holy institution to be transformed into my sin. Okay. She says, I guess everyone's relationship
00:20:51.780 with God is bespoke to them. It's true. But God is the same for everyone. Everyone's relationship
00:20:56.960 with God is bespoke. It's not off the rack. It's not just one size fits all. You're right about that.
00:21:03.200 But God is the same for everyone. Because God is objectively real. He's the real God. That's why
00:21:07.620 you believe in him in the first place. And a lot of people want to make false gods for themselves.
00:21:15.240 Not going to work. Now, why do I think she's sincere? She goes on to say, I'm going to take
00:21:20.320 more of a backseat in work and stuff like that just to really prioritize this. Okay. Well, hold on.
00:21:25.420 Like by work, she means prostitution. She means pornography. I'm going to take more of a backseat 0.97
00:21:30.020 in that. I'm going to deprive. She's not going to give it up entirely yet, apparently. Too bad.
00:21:34.500 But she says, I'm going to deprioritize that to prioritize religion. Good. Love that. Even though I travel so
00:21:39.280 much, I don't necessarily go to church a lot because I'm traveling. But it doesn't mean I can't pray and I
00:21:44.240 can't practice my religion outside of church. So I'd definitely be doing that and taking that 1.00
00:21:48.060 forward. Good. You have an obligation to go to church on Sunday. You have an obligation to do
00:21:52.260 that. Even if you don't want to, even if you're not feeling it, you have an obligation to at least
00:21:55.040 do that. You have other obligations too. But you're right. You can pray outside of church and you should,
00:21:59.640 you have to. And you can live your faith and you must live your faith all of the other days of the
00:22:03.840 week too. That's true. I'm glad to see she's taking a step in the right direction. She says,
00:22:08.220 her family's always been religious, but they don't practice that much or anything like that.
00:22:12.260 We were always quite close to God growing up and stuff like that. They were delighted that I'm
00:22:15.380 converting. My family was always religious, but we didn't really go to church. Then they weren't
00:22:20.620 religious and they weren't religious. No, we were always really close to God. Were you?
00:22:27.220 God was always close to you. God was always close to you. He was always moving close to you. He was
00:22:32.620 always calling you. But were you moving closer to God or were you turning away from God? When you don't
00:22:37.180 go to church, when you don't practice your faith, when you, when you sanction these kinds of awful
00:22:40.780 things that are so, so harmful to people, you're, you are making a choice to move away from God.
00:22:47.320 And so I see she's obviously so confused. She's clearly been scandalized by her family too.
00:22:52.640 And she's scandalizing herself by her own actions. We, what should we do about the Lily Phillips 0.97
00:22:58.440 conversion? Should we make her the Archbishopress of Canterbury right away? Probably not.
00:23:04.720 Should we put her on the podcast circuit? Probably not. In this case, I would say probably not just
00:23:10.180 yet. Not, not, maybe it's going to take a little while. Should we say you don't have to change
00:23:15.520 anything about yourself or what you believe to be, to be a real practicing Christian? No,
00:23:20.360 no, she's got to change her. But I think we should encourage her. This is my message.
00:23:24.460 Send this, whoever knows Lily Phillips out there listening, send this to Lily Phillips.
00:23:27.320 This is really good stuff. This is great. Wonderful. I love it. I love to hear that this
00:23:32.120 is happening for you, but you got to keep going. This is great. You got to keep going. I'm happy to
00:23:36.480 help. The many people who are watching and listening and commenting on this right now would be happy to
00:23:41.040 help your priests and your bishops and all this would be happy to help. And maybe if they're Anglican,
00:23:46.180 they're not happy. Maybe they won't help you, but they're good Catholic priests and bishops who would
00:23:49.300 be happy to help. I don't think this is cynical. People are accusing her of being cynical. First of all,
00:23:55.760 even if she is, I would always like to err on the side of credulity when it comes to these matters.
00:24:01.300 Not to the point of absurdity, but I always want to err on the side of grace when it comes to these
00:24:05.820 things. But she does not sound cynical to me. She sounds confused by the twin darkness into which
00:24:11.080 we are born, which is ignorance and sin. And we're all born into that to some degree, and then we fall
00:24:16.800 further and further into that to varying degrees. That's what it sounds like is happening.
00:24:22.280 Keep going. Keep going, lady. This is good stuff. You're in a very,
00:24:25.400 very bad place. You were, I should say, in a very, very, very, very, very bad place. You have taken
00:24:31.460 a step, apparently, to get out of that place by God's grace. Keep going. It's going to be a long
00:24:39.260 way, but God will be with you the whole way. So keep going. Keep going. Okay. Speaking of Christianity,
00:24:44.240 I have to answer a question that people have. I have to answer a very, very important question
00:24:49.020 that people have personally of me. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about
00:24:52.680 Preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles. This episode is sponsored by Preborn Ministries. During
00:24:58.080 the Sanctity of Life Month, we remember the over 67 million babies whose lives have been lost to
00:25:02.300 abortion since Roe v. Wade. Here is what many people don't realize. Since Roe was overturned,
00:25:07.000 the situation has gotten more complicated. The reason for that actually has nothing to do with Roe.
00:25:12.800 It's just the timing of it, which is that the abortion pill now has taken off. And that makes up more
00:25:18.640 than 60% of all abortions. Really, the number is closer to 70%. That means that abortion is
00:25:23.660 accessible around the clock. There is hope. Preborn has saved over 400,000 babies from abortion. Right
00:25:29.400 now, they're saving more than 200 babies every single day. Here's how it works. A woman who's 1.00
00:25:33.520 considering abortion, when she hears her baby's heartbeat, and when she sees that ultrasound,
00:25:38.780 she's twice as likely to choose life. For only 28 bucks, which is what you spend on dinner, 1.00
00:25:43.200 probably less than you'd spend on dinner in a lot of cases, you can sponsor one ultrasound and give a
00:25:47.400 mother the chance to meet her baby for the first time. Every dollar you give goes directly to
00:25:51.560 saving lives. They fundraise separately for the other stuff. It's just wonderful. I personally
00:25:55.660 support this organization. Right now, get a head start on donating. Dial pound 250, say the keyword
00:26:02.900 baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. You can donate securely online, preborn.com slash Knowles,
00:26:07.220 preborn.com slash Knowles. I'll address it, okay? My set has Christmas decorations up.
00:26:14.580 Now, for those of you who are in the Chem Lulachem, you understand why that is. Those of you who are
00:26:19.280 daily viewers and listeners to the show, you know why my Christmas decorations are up.
00:26:24.500 Because Christmas is not just a day of December 25th. First of all, all these other people,
00:26:30.720 all these other podcasters, broadcasters, they put their Christmas decorations up in early December,
00:26:37.160 late November in some cases. It's not Christmas. I don't know why you would put Christmas decorations up
00:26:41.940 when it's not for Thanksgiving, for Advent. I don't know why you would do that.
00:26:47.660 Worse, they took them down after the Feast of the Nativity.
00:26:52.700 Christmas is 12 days long, isn't it? We don't say on the only day of Christmas,
00:26:58.820 my true love gave to me just one thing because Christmas is only one day. We don't sing that.
00:27:04.380 We say the 12 days of Christmas, but yesterday was a very important feast, not just the commemoration
00:27:12.180 of the Capitol insurrection, but it was the Feast of the Epiphany, which is the end of the 12 days
00:27:20.260 of Christmas. So you say, Michael, why are your Christmas decorations still up? Let me tell you
00:27:24.600 why. Because traditionally, even after the octave of Easter, even after technically the liturgical
00:27:31.600 season of Christmas, we in the Christian West keep our decorations up until Candlemas, which is
00:27:39.940 February 2nd, okay? And I hope that you are doing that as well. My wife, sweet little Lisa, beautiful,
00:27:47.580 saintly sweet little Lisa, even she wants me to clear off some of my Christmas decorations from one 1.00
00:27:53.540 of our tables in the hallway so she can put something else up there. And even she, so I know
00:27:57.880 the struggle. Will you want to take the Christmas decorations? No, no. You have to keep them up until
00:28:04.740 February 2nd. At least I will. I want that to become a dogma of the church. Well, they probably won't
00:28:10.280 listen to me on that. Speaking of moral and sexual issues, actually, President Trump catching flag from
00:28:16.060 Republicans because Trump, addressing legislators, suggested that Republicans need to go a little soft
00:28:22.360 on an important aspect of abortion, namely prohibiting federal dollars from going to subsidize abortion.
00:28:32.780 Let the money go in the healthcare account or however you do it. Let the money go directly
00:28:40.300 to the people. Now, you have to be a little flexible on Hyde. You know that. You got to be a little
00:28:47.320 flexible. You got to work something. You got to use ingenuity. You got to work. We're all big fans
00:28:55.320 of everything, but you got to be flexible. You have to have flexibility. Okay. He says you got to be
00:29:00.360 flexible on Hyde. What is he talking about? He's talking about the Hyde Amendment, which for decades
00:29:05.300 has prohibited federal dollars from going to fund abortion. This is a very, very important issue for
00:29:12.080 the pro-life movement. And so immediately, pro-lifers say, we're not being flexible at all on that. No
00:29:19.600 chance that's a line in the sand, which is my reaction too. However, I want to give Trump a
00:29:25.720 little credit here because Trump says, look, we got to be flexible. It's tough. It's this, it's that.
00:29:32.060 At a base level, the Hyde Amendment does not actually prevent federal dollars from funding
00:29:39.240 abortion. It doesn't actually do that. It's never done that. The reason why is money is fungible. 0.55
00:29:47.000 So in as much as the federal government is giving money to state agencies that in turn fund abortion,
00:29:56.380 the federal government is giving money to fund abortion. Even if you say, no, no, no, here,
00:30:01.360 this pile of money that the federal government gave us, this is only going to go to, I don't know,
00:30:06.980 breast cancer exams. But this pile of money over here on the other side of the room in the state
00:30:14.320 agency, that's the one that's going to go to kill babies. It doesn't work that way. Money is 0.98
00:30:17.940 fungible. This is why if the federal government gives any money to Planned Parenthood, they're
00:30:23.780 funding abortion. Because even if Planned Parenthood says, well, we're only using the federal funds to
00:30:27.380 keep the lights on and to mop the floors. Well, no. Because you're getting federal money for that,
00:30:34.200 you don't need to spend your own money on that, which means you can spend your own money on abortion, 0.92
00:30:37.760 which means the federal government's funding abortion. So I think Trump is right that the
00:30:43.000 Hyde Amendment is a little less clear cut than some of us wish it were. Money is fungible. There's no
00:30:50.480 doubt. There's another tension here. The other tension is this. Republicans want to have it two ways
00:30:58.360 that are in conflict with each other. Republicans realize, and Trump realizes why he's so exercised
00:31:04.560 about this, health care is the only issue that Democrats have on their side. It's the only big
00:31:10.220 issue that Democrats generally win on over Republicans. We're winning on the economy, on
00:31:15.540 immigration, on law and order, on foreign policy. We're winning on everything, which is nice. It's a
00:31:21.560 refreshing change for Republicans in recent decades. But the one issue we're still losing on is health
00:31:26.860 care. And we shouldn't be losing on health care. Democrats have ruined health care every step of 1.00
00:31:31.440 the way. Every aspect of our modern health care system that is bad was given to us by Democrats.
00:31:37.940 The fact that it's tied to our employers was given to us by FDR. The fact that it's extremely
00:31:43.220 inefficient and expensive and rife with fraud was given to us by LBJ. The fact that our choice was
00:31:51.380 taken away and premiums went up was given to us by Barack Obama. Every step of the way was Democrats
00:31:55.740 who did this. But it's a problem. And the Democrats are seen as at least doing something,
00:32:00.640 whereas Republicans are said to not have a health care policy. In as much as Republicans have a
00:32:04.320 health care policy, the policy is give people more transparency on prices. Why is it that you go to
00:32:10.480 the hospital and no one knows what anything costs and you end up paying $55 for an aspirin tablet?
00:32:16.700 Why is every other store, every other part of the economy, prices are relatively transparent?
00:32:20.420 Okay, we need more transparency. We need more accountability. We need more choice.
00:32:25.140 We need more choice in how consumers purchase health care when it comes to the money.
00:32:32.980 But Republicans also say we need less choice when it comes to the procedures.
00:32:37.980 We need more choice when it comes to what insurance companies you can use and even how insurance is
00:32:43.800 regulated and what you're going to buy at the hospital and what you're going to see and what
00:32:47.700 you're going to know. You need total financial choice. But you should not be able to kill babies
00:32:54.060 through abortion. You should not be able to change your gender, supposedly, castrate little kids or do 1.00
00:32:59.520 any of these other heinous medical procedures that the Democrats insist on. Now, both of those things
00:33:06.280 are good. I'm not saying this is hypocritical. I'm not saying that we should give up one of those or
00:33:11.000 the other. I'm totally for it. But there is a tension there because you have to make that clearer
00:33:17.980 argument that, yes, we want choice in certain areas but less choice in other areas. We're not
00:33:25.760 making an idol out of choice as ideologues do. We want good things. And in as much as we are encouraging
00:33:32.480 greater choice, we are doing so only instrumentally so that it will conduce to a substantive good.
00:33:40.220 And we're making this argument elsewhere, too. We're making this argument even when it comes to
00:33:43.580 immigration. Previously, we made an idol out of the procedure of legal immigration. But the real
00:33:49.600 issue with immigration was whether or not you check a box and fill out some forms. No, that's not true.
00:33:53.140 The substantive good is, I think, reducing all immigration but having a functioning immigration 1.00
00:33:59.660 regime. That's the substantive good. And so the procedure has to be subservient to the good.
00:34:05.900 Which means that if we can change the procedures in such a way that this group gets in and this
00:34:12.660 group doesn't get in and reduces these numbers and this and that, wonderful. But we got to keep our
00:34:15.960 eyes on the prize. So that applies to healthcare, too. That's what we have to say. Now, just bringing
00:34:21.660 it right back down to earth on a real nuts and bolts thing, Republicans are not going to give up on
00:34:25.740 the Hyde Amendment. Imperfect as it is, we'll try to improve it. We could actually use this to our 0.67
00:34:31.380 advantage to try to say, as Republicans reform healthcare, we're going to tighten up even more
00:34:37.080 on how federal dollars are used in service of abortion. I think that would be a great thing. 0.91
00:34:41.980 But it's a complete non-starter. The pro-life movement, which it's small, but it's mighty.
00:34:48.420 The pro-life movement won't tolerate that. So I agree with Trump. We need ingenuity. We need to
00:34:55.660 be creative. We need to see the situation for it. I totally agree. But we're going to have to have
00:35:00.580 ingenuity given that premise. The Hyde Amendment is going nowhere. Okay. Speaking of Trump policies,
00:35:07.040 Trump just secured us 30 to 50 million barrels of oil. This is feeding the Democrat narrative that
00:35:14.440 this was a war for oil, a very brief war, an 88 minute war for oil. And some Republicans are
00:35:20.940 making the argument that it was a war for oil. And the funny thing is, it actually wasn't a war
00:35:26.180 for oil. Everything the Daily Wire has to offer is now in one app. Download the new Daily Wire Plus

00:36:14.140 oh, now, hold on. I want to be clear. I didn't pick the comment today. I didn't. I didn't pick
00:36:18.700 the comment because, I don't know, I got distracted. I was chatting with my friends in the makeup room.
00:36:25.160 I was admiring the hairdo they were giving me. I don't know. I didn't pick the comment,
00:36:29.500 so if it's a bad comment, blame the producers. Stray1239 says, Mr. Shirley, tear down that walls.
00:36:36.780 All right, that's fine. I don't know if I was the best comment, but I'll take it. That's fine.
00:36:43.260 I don't mind. President Trump posts to Truth Social, I am pleased to announce that the interim
00:36:48.500 authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 million barrels of high-quality
00:36:52.720 sanctioned oil to the United States of America. Little history lesson here. Venezuela stole our oil
00:36:59.220 and oil products. Hugo Chavez comes to power 25, 26 years ago and starts expropriating things and
00:37:07.640 nationalizing things, and it's really annoying, and they owe us a bunch of money. And this is the
00:37:11.720 reason that in the lead up to the Venezuela strike, Trump grabbed an oil tanker. He said, they got our
00:37:16.060 oil. We're taking that oil. That's our oil. So Trump says, I'm getting the oil back. He says,
00:37:20.980 this oil will be sold at its market price, and that money will be controlled by me,
00:37:24.720 as president of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to the benefit of the people
00:37:28.580 of Venezuela and the United States. Not just the people of Venezuela. This isn't the ideological
00:37:36.120 neocon kind of intervention of Bush, or we're not going to take the oil in Iraq. Trump's criticism of
00:37:42.900 the Iraq war was that we didn't take the oil. This is that criticism. It's not just that it's all going
00:37:46.840 to Venezuela, because they owe us some of the profit here. But we are going to help benefit the
00:37:53.360 people of Venezuela and the United States. It's a win-win. We work together in the Western
00:37:58.440 Hemisphere. He says, I've asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan immediately.
00:38:03.140 It will be taken by storage ships and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.
00:38:06.760 Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump, president of the United States
00:38:09.140 of America. It's great. The irony, though, is this was not a war for oil. And some of the evidence
00:38:17.040 of this is, we have wanted regime change in Venezuela for over 25 years, since Hugo Chavez
00:38:23.560 came to power. We've wanted, and we have been working toward regime change in Venezuela
00:38:28.040 across party lines. Don't forget, even though Kamala Harris now is saying that it was illegal 0.99
00:38:33.000 to go in and arrest Maduro, Kamala Harris's own administration called for this exact policy
00:38:41.320 within the last year. And actually, her secretary of state, Biden and Kamala Harris, the secretary
00:38:47.840 of state, offered a $25 million reward for anyone who could give information leading to
00:38:52.420 the implementation of the exact policy Trump carried out. The only difference between the
00:38:56.880 two administrations on this point is that Biden and Harris couldn't do it. They couldn't do it.
00:39:02.420 They weren't willing to do it. They were too cowardly to do it. And Trump was able to do it. He had 1.00
00:39:05.800 the cojones to do it, the guliuns, and he did it very effectively, as effectively as it could 0.99
00:39:12.340 possibly be done. It was just a master class. Even if you hate the intervention, it was just a 0.96
00:39:15.700 master class in foreign intervention. So why have we wanted regime change in Venezuela for all this
00:39:20.980 time? Sure, in part, it's that they took some property of ours. Also, it's because they're
00:39:25.860 socialists. Also, it's because of the same reason that we've intervened dozens and dozens of times in
00:39:30.760 Latin America during the Cold War and afterward, because our geopolitical adversaries use hostile
00:39:37.980 regimes in Latin America to get a foothold against us. So kicking out, or going in and kicking out 1.00
00:39:46.460 Maduro also redounds to kicking out China. Chinese diplomats were there the day before the strike to
00:39:53.920 go meet with Maduro. They're still waiting to have the meeting, and Maduro is not going to show up.
00:39:57.900 They're going to kick out Iran. They're going to kick out Russia. 0.96
00:40:01.580 They're going to kick out Cuba, which was a club. Cuba's probably going to fall because Maduro was
00:40:06.260 taken out of Venezuela. There's a downstream geopolitical benefit, and this ties in with
00:40:12.540 the material benefit. And this is the key. You can't divorce the two, the resources, the materials,
00:40:17.320 the booty, the plunder, the loot, and the abstract geopolitical chessboard, and even the higher ideals.
00:40:24.320 You can't divorce those two sets of things. Because when Trump takes that oil from Venezuela,
00:40:31.160 that means that oil is not going to China. That means that oil is not, well, it's not going to
00:40:36.980 Cuba. That means that oil is weakening our geopolitical adversaries. When we get that oil,
00:40:44.740 that means that Iran's position, Russia's position as oil producers, diminishes on the world stage.
00:40:51.360 What's so brilliant, I think, about this play in Venezuela, especially that it seems to have
00:40:57.200 worked, is that it achieves many of the purported goals of the neocons, of the interventionists who 0.99
00:41:03.940 want to go in and bomb every country around the world, while throwing away their stupid abstract 0.96
00:41:08.980 ideology, and while taking away the risks of going to the opposite side of the earth and ignoring the 1.00
00:41:15.660 problems closer to home. It actually marries the interests of the foreign policy realists,
00:41:20.500 the paleocons, the restraint people, and some of the neocons. It's just prudent. It's just smart.
00:41:27.680 But it is very, very funny that Trump, in order to sell this intervention, is appealing to really
00:41:34.900 base material interests, saying, yeah, it is a war for oil. Yeah, we're getting that oil. No,
00:41:39.440 he's saying other things too. But he's appealing to that because that's what many of the American
00:41:44.460 people want to hear after years and years of these abstract ideological regime change wars.
00:41:49.500 But the funny thing is, there actually are many higher ideals involved in this regime change.
00:41:54.760 And there is a much more sober, serious geopolitical calculation being taken here
00:42:00.880 beyond just we like the oil that makes our cars go. Okay, speaking of Venezuela,
00:42:08.120 there's a question on a lot of people's mind last few days, which is,
00:42:10.940 after the Venezuela strike, the recently inaugurated mayor of New York, Zoran Mamdani,
00:42:18.020 came out and he said, hey, I've been briefed on the strike in Venezuela. I'm monitoring the
00:42:24.960 situation. Have no fear, Americans. I, Zoran Mamdani, am monitoring the situation because I have
00:42:31.200 been briefed on the strike in Venezuela. He just asked that. He said, well, what do you mean you were
00:42:36.700 briefed? You don't work for the federal government. You don't have a security clearance. You don't have
00:42:41.380 anything to do with this. Your job is to try to make sure that like MTA bus drivers aren't being
00:42:47.100 beheaded by homeless lunatics and you're going to fail at that. So why, what did you mean you're 0.57
00:42:53.120 being briefed on Venezuela?
00:42:57.800 ...clearance yet? And has anyone from a federal agency reached out to you or members of your team
00:43:02.560 to begin the vetting to get federal security clearance?
00:43:06.260 That briefing, yes, was conducted by my team. And the question of federal security clearance is
00:43:10.820 one that's ongoing. So do you have it right now?
00:43:13.240 No, not at all.
00:43:15.320 It's so embarrassing. He just, the thing that happened after the Venezuela strike was that
00:43:20.660 every man in America who is in any way interested in politics just refreshed his Twitter like all
00:43:27.720 day long. Me too. I'm not above it. All of us, we're all refreshing on Twitter. And our wives would
00:43:32.000 say, what are you doing? Hey, why are you on your phone? And I say, I'm just, I'm monitoring the
00:43:36.040 situation. I'm just, I just, I got to, I got to, what are we going to do? I got to monitor the
00:43:40.400 situation. And we were getting information that was as good, if not better, as the mayor of New
00:43:48.420 York. The only way in which Zoran Mamdani was briefed on the, was like checking Twitter,
00:43:55.340 or sorry, having one of his lunatic staff members check Twitter and then tell him about it.
00:44:01.740 Anybody with a Twitter account was precisely as well briefed. And then he tries to get out of it
00:44:05.760 too, you know, and he tries to, he says, well, no, and the question of the security clearance was,
00:44:10.400 it's an ongoing one. Excuse me, what kind of jargon is that? The question of a security clearance,
00:44:15.220 what does that mean? Do you have it? No. And this reminds us of a teaching of our Lord in the
00:44:23.500 Gospels, which is, you know, our Lord tells us very, very practical advice. It also has a divine
00:44:29.720 significance or eternal significance, but it's good practical advice too. He says, hey, when you go to
00:44:34.460 the banquet, don't sit in the place of honor. Don't try to get all the honors and accolades for
00:44:40.120 yourself because you know what's going to happen then? Best case scenario, they let you sit there.
00:44:46.720 Worst case scenario, maybe more likely scenario, the host is going to come up and say, hey, what are
00:44:51.000 you doing in the place of honor? Get out of here. Go back to your own lower level. And then you're
00:44:57.280 going to be humiliated. What is better for you to do is when you show up to the banquet,
00:45:03.960 sit in the lower place, have a little humility. Don't try to puff yourself up and make yourself
00:45:09.820 bigger than you are. Because then what might happen, look, maybe you just stay there. Maybe,
00:45:14.880 you know, what might happen is the host comes up and says, hey, you know, you should be in a
00:45:17.420 place of higher honor. Zoran just showed us a real practical example of that.
00:45:22.400 And the political effects, consequences of ignoring that advice. Yes, don't worry. Hi,
00:45:29.280 I'm here. I'm the dog walker from Palookaville. And I've been, I have been briefed on the invasion
00:45:34.740 of Moscow. I've been briefed on it. Don't worry. I'm monitoring the situation. Who are you?
00:45:40.960 Is that, is any of that true? No, but I did have cable news on. So I was listening to, okay,
00:45:47.180 pretty, pretty sad. All right. There's so much more I want to get to. There's so much more.
00:45:52.320 Tim Walls, completely imploding. I say I'm going to get to Mamdani's new lesbian fire chief. I keep 1.00
00:45:59.040 missing that. And migrants on welfare. There's a lot I want to get to. But I don't have time. 1.00
00:46:04.160 There's too much going on. And I'm very excited to get to talk about, and this, I guess, pertains to
00:46:09.740 our Lily Phillips discussion, at least touches on it, whether or not Christians can be feminists.
00:46:16.920 Sometimes you hear there's a spirit, even among self-styled Christians and, I don't know, pastors
00:46:23.580 and pastoresses and influencers. There's a sense that, you know, we can be real feminists. We, can 0.99
00:46:29.060 you, can you really? Well, I'm going to interview Dr. Kerry Gress in this. It's Wednesday. It's not
00:46:34.680 Theology Thursday. It's, why are feminists pretending to be Christian Wednesday? I don't know. I don't know. 1.00

00:47:08.200 And soon that echo will cease.
00:47:12.960 They say that Merlin is mad.
00:47:27.620 They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis. They say the future
00:47:36.300 and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets. That the magic of
00:47:44.400 the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command. They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds, do you hear?
00:47:54.740 That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
00:48:01.740 The Merlin died long before you and I were born.
00:48:05.400 Merlin Emerus has returned to the land of the living.
00:48:09.400 Vertigan is gone. Rome is gone. The Saxon is here. 0.97
00:48:18.060 The Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty. 0.98
00:48:24.060 And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
00:48:27.060 And he will have it. If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him.
00:48:34.720 Here is your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king who will be the wonder of the world.
00:48:42.720 You. To a future of peace. There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
00:48:54.720 Men of the Island of the Mighty, you stand together. You stand as Britons. You stand as one.
00:49:04.380 A great darkness is falling upon this land. These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
00:49:14.380 Not our only hope.
00:49:17.380 They say Merlin slew 17 men with his own hands. And Gathay, he slew 500.
00:49:25.380 No man is capable of such a thing.
00:49:29.380 No mortal man.
00:49:31.380 No mortal
