00:00:30.000 Prince Andrew is under arrest.
00:00:32.000 The brother of the king has just been arrested
00:00:35.000 over his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:00:37.000 This is the first major arrest in the Epstein case
00:00:40.000 since President Trump arrested Epstein himself,
00:00:43.000 as well as Ghislaine Maxwell years ago.
00:00:46.000 Then, back in America,
00:00:48.000 hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage flow into the Potomac
00:00:52.000 as DC's water chief touts the utility's DEI hiring practices.
00:00:56.000 And CNN gets ready to air a documentary.
00:00:59.000 It's a documentary on how the real threat facing America
00:01:02.000 after the assassination of Charlie Kirk is actually conservatives.

00:02:54.000 Biggest news story, absolutely earth-shaking without any hyperbole.
00:02:59.000 There has been a major arrest related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
00:03:04.000 That alone would be a big story.
00:03:06.000 Don't forget, the only person who's ever arrested anyone around the Jeffrey Epstein scandal,
00:03:10.000 at least in the last, what, 15 years, is Trump.
00:03:14.000 It wasn't Obama.
00:03:16.000 It wasn't Joe Biden.
00:03:18.000 It was Trump.
00:03:19.000 And he arrested Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:03:22.000 A bunch of the co-conspirators were protected by a non-prosecution agreement under the Bush
00:03:26.000 administration.
00:03:27.000 So we've been waiting.
00:03:28.000 We're saying, when is one of these associates, Leon Black or Les Wexner or whoever, one of
00:03:32.000 these associates going to be arrested?
00:03:35.000 And there was an arrest.
00:03:36.000 And it's the most prominent person probably in the entire Epstein files.
00:03:42.000 At least the most prominent person who had a real serious, tight, long-standing connection
00:03:46.000 with Epstein.
00:03:47.000 And that is Prince Andrew, brother of King Charles III.
00:03:53.000 Now, a lot of people are going to be tempted to cheer this news.
00:03:57.000 I think this arrest is, in fact, very cynically motivated to make you all cheer the supposedly
00:04:04.000 good news.
00:04:05.000 I would urge a little bit of caution here for conservatives and nationalists and even just
00:04:12.000 ordinary normal people.
00:04:14.000 I would urge a little bit of caution here because I think this is kind of a distraction.
00:04:23.000 Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
00:04:27.000 Now, it's not specifically for like raping a kid or trafficking a kid or whatever.
00:04:34.000 The clearest allegation against Prince Andrew is it seems that he did have a sexual relationship
00:04:40.000 with this woman, Virginia Giuffre, possibly when she was 17 years old, not 18 years old.
00:04:46.000 Seems like it.
00:04:47.000 They settled out of court for some millions of pounds, but there was no admission of liability.
00:04:52.000 And Virginia Giuffre has retracted claims against other people.
00:04:56.000 Even that one is a little bit unclear, but in any case, that's not what he was arrested
00:05:00.000 for.
00:05:01.000 He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
00:05:03.000 Ostensibly, that was for passing information to Jeffrey Epstein while Prince Andrew was a
00:05:10.000 UK trade representative.
00:05:12.000 In any case, this involves potential life imprisonment.
00:05:16.000 He was arrested on his birthday, a rough birthday present for Prince Andrew.
00:05:21.000 And the question on a lot of people's minds, I think, is what does the king have to say
00:05:25.000 about this?
00:05:26.000 Did the king do this?
00:05:27.000 Did his brother send the cops to go arrest his brother?
00:05:30.000 Did the king know about this at least and let it happen?
00:05:32.000 The king says no.
00:05:33.000 King Charles says, I've learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten
00:05:37.000 Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
00:05:40.000 He doesn't even say Prince Andrew because he was stripped of his royal titles.
00:05:43.000 He doesn't even say my brother Andrew says Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
00:05:45.000 In this, as I've said before, the police have our full and wholehearted support and cooperation.
00:05:52.000 Let me state clearly, the law must take its course.
00:05:56.000 As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.
00:06:00.000 Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all, Charles Rex.
00:06:07.000 So it seems he didn't know about it.
00:06:10.000 But he's saying, no, it's totally fine for the police to just go arrest a senior member of the royal family and my brother on royal property.
00:06:18.000 That's totally fine.
00:06:19.000 It's really good.
00:06:20.000 This needs to be carried out.
00:06:22.000 Okay.
00:06:23.000 First of all, for conservatives, for people who think that the monarchy has served generally a useful purpose in England over the many centuries.
00:06:32.000 For people who are not radical leftists, who are not radically opposed to the monarchy as an institution,
00:06:39.000 who recognize that King Charles I and King Charles II and maybe even King Charles III were a lot better than Oliver Cromwell,
00:06:47.000 who realized that maybe along with our founding fathers, the greater threat to liberty than the threat of a king might be the threat of a mob in a democracy taken too far.
00:06:58.000 As our founding fathers agreed, even as they went to war with King George III.
00:07:03.000 In any case, you have to ask yourself, is this arrest of Prince Andrew really about justice?
00:07:10.000 This is for supposed state or financial crimes 26 years ago.
00:07:16.000 I'm not even really touching on the underage girl sex stuff, but obviously some of the sex stuff is involved.
00:07:22.000 That's the only reason any focus is on Andrew right now.
00:07:26.000 I have an unpopular opinion, but it happens to be correct.
00:07:29.000 And here it is, here's my Norman Rockwell meme unpopular opinion.
00:07:34.000 I think that arresting the King's brother is less about justice than it is a cynical evasion of justice.
00:07:44.000 Because the British authorities are arresting the King's brother over suspicion of a crime that might have been committed while this guy was maybe committing another crime,
00:07:55.000 even though he settled with the supposed other crime out of court without admitting liability and that in that that's all happening.
00:08:01.000 Well, the UK authorities let Pakistani rape gangs run wild throughout the entire country for decades raping 12 year old 13 year old English girls by the bushel basket to the point that the authorities were actually telling people to stop looking into it because these parts of England became effectively no go zones and they didn't want to deal with it.
00:08:22.000 Pardon my skepticism when all of a sudden the UK authorities come in in an unprecedented way to arrest the brother of the king.
00:08:35.000 We've never seen this happen in any of our lifetimes and there's really no precedent for it in English history.
00:08:42.000 A real threat to the English system of government, which is a little different than the American system of government, but we get our government from the English.
00:08:49.000 They go in there, they do all that ostensibly in the name of justice, especially for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
00:08:56.000 And they're going to let the Pakistani rape gangs that they keep inviting in.
00:09:00.000 Please, the doors are open.
00:09:02.000 Well, come on here, blokes.
00:09:03.000 Let me just, you know, roll out the red carpet for you.
00:09:05.000 Get your spot of Earl Grey tea.
00:09:06.000 Come on here.
00:09:07.000 Yeah.
00:09:08.000 Have any of our daughters, please.
00:09:09.000 They just ignore that for decade upon decade upon decade.
00:09:12.000 I think this is weak stuff.
00:09:14.000 I'm not defending Prince Andrew.
00:09:15.000 He's a deeply disreputable degenerate human being.
00:09:18.000 He's always had that reputation.
00:09:22.000 However, I think he's a scapegoat here because he's pathetic.
00:09:25.000 He looks pathetic.
00:09:26.000 His behavior is abhorrent and disgraceful.
00:09:29.000 He's been disowned by his family.
00:09:31.000 He got fired by his mom.
00:09:33.000 He's been stripped of his name.
00:09:34.000 He's the most pathetic figure in the entire country.
00:09:38.000 He's a white man.
00:09:40.000 That's the one identity group that you are allowed and even encouraged to deride and hold in contempt.
00:09:47.000 He's just a scapegoat for an issue that the UK authorities obviously don't take all that seriously because they intentionally, wittingly neglected the Pakistani grooming gangs for decades.
00:10:02.000 And they keep inviting these people in.
00:10:04.000 There was a news story in the UK just a week or two ago about how we need to make the Cotswolds less white, meaning we need to invite more of the same kinds of people who are raping British girls for decades into more of the country.
00:10:16.000 I just don't buy it.
00:10:18.000 Sorry, I know everyone's going to be out for blood because Andrew is the perfect scapegoat.
00:10:22.000 I think this is weak stuff.
00:10:24.000 I think this is a cynical way to evade actual justice in the Epstein case and at a deeper level throughout the UK.
00:10:31.000 Conservatives and nationalists and normal people who just kind of like their country, especially in the UK, they should be very, very reluctant to celebrate this.
00:10:41.000 OK, back to America.
00:10:44.000 We have in our swampy national capital the worst sewage spill in US history, 240 to 300 million gallons of sewage just flooded the Potomac.
00:10:55.000 Here is what PBS, this is liberal public broadcasting, has to say about it.
00:11:02.000 Why is there a lot of in the Potomac River right now?
00:11:06.000 Well, a 1960s era sewer pipeline at northwest of the nation's capital collapsed in January, flooding the iconic river with millions of gallons of wastewater.
00:11:16.000 And what's in that wastewater?
00:11:17.000 Well, the pipeline that collapsed is a 54 mile sanitary sewer system called the Potomac Interceptor.
00:11:23.000 It moves raw sewage and household wastewater from Maryland and Virginia to a wastewater treatment plant in southwest Washington, D.C.
00:11:31.000 According to D.C. Water, more than 243 million gallons of that wastewater has flowed into the river since the rupture occurred.
00:11:38.000 The majority spilled out in the first five days and put some not so healthy things into the water.
00:11:44.000 A week after the spill, water quality sampling found E.coli near the site to be more than a thousand times what the EPA considers safe for swimming.
00:11:52.000 Gross.
00:11:53.000 E.coli levels have significantly dropped in the weeks since, but health officials still recommend avoiding contact with the river for both humans and pets.
00:12:01.000 And pets.
00:12:02.000 And pets.
00:12:03.000 Not even good enough for pets.
00:12:04.000 The Potomac has been poisoned.
00:12:06.000 The river in Washington, D.C. is swampier than ever.
00:12:10.000 Tons of E.coli, human excrement, sewage, hundreds of millions of gallons of that sewage.
00:12:18.000 Worst sewage spill in American history.
00:12:20.000 Hey, who's running the D.C. Water Utility?
00:12:24.000 You know, when I arrived at D.C. Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our to our our industry.
00:12:32.000 It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top.
00:12:36.000 But this is a utility that's, you know, more than 70 percent people of color work at this utility.
00:12:41.000 And I really believe and I still believe and it has been fantastic.
00:12:46.000 The outcomes have been fantastic.
00:12:48.000 But the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs in that C-suite, they should look like the employees that they serve and that they work with.
00:12:59.000 And the same thing with the community.
00:13:01.000 And so my executive team, you know, looks exactly like the community.
00:13:06.000 It looks like it looks like the the employees, the staff, you know, be it people of color, women, men.
00:13:14.000 And it is it's just a fantastic team that has come together to do a lot of great things here at D.C. Water and in the community for the customers.
00:13:23.000 DEI strikes again, this time striking at the heart of our nation, the imperial capital now absolutely fetid and disgusting with hundreds of millions of gallons of human excrement.
00:13:43.000 OK, I think we have to examine our first principles here.
00:13:47.000 This guy comes in. What's his name?
00:13:49.000 David Gaddis, the CEO, he comes in.
00:13:52.000 He says there are too many white people running this utility.
00:13:54.000 We need to get rid of the white people.
00:13:56.000 The white people are very, very bad.
00:13:58.000 So he gets rid of the white people and he brings in non-white people.
00:14:01.000 And then the utility collapses in the most spectacular way we've ever seen in the United States.
00:14:06.000 This is not to say that non-white people can't run a water utility.
00:14:12.000 Presumably they could.
00:14:14.000 This is to say, however, that perhaps expertise in running water is to be preferred in the C-suite rather than skin color.
00:14:24.000 This is further to question the premise that the C-suite of an organization or a public utility should physically resemble the lower level employees.
00:14:36.000 I don't even know how to argue against that because the initial claim is such a non sequitur.
00:14:43.000 It's like it's kind of like arguing against, you know, I had eggs for breakfast, purple scooter, flam-a-lam-a-ding-dong.
00:14:51.000 Like there's no there's actually no connection whatsoever between the premise and the conclusion.
00:14:56.000 And so I'm not even sure how to argue against it.
00:14:58.000 But if if the idea was that his premise was going to lead to excellent water utilities, well, that obviously hasn't happened.
00:15:08.000 And so his premises are wrong.
00:15:10.000 A reminder also that all the diversity stuff we were talking about this yesterday with Jeremy Carl, who's up for a top State Department job.
00:15:18.000 And Chris Murphy in the Senate Democrat and Cory Booker accused him of being a white nationalist and they accused him of believing in the evil great replacement theory.
00:15:29.000 And the evil great replacement theory, of course, is that there is it's an evil, terrible conspiracy theory that holds that there is a political project afoot to reduce the proportion of white people in a given society.
00:15:43.000 And the difference, of course, between that and diversity, equity and inclusion is that diversity, equity and inclusion is just the noble, wonderful political project to reduce the portion of white people in a given society.
00:15:56.000 So some would say they're the exact same thing.
00:16:00.000 It's just DEI of viewing that project favorably is good.
00:16:05.000 And the great replacement theory viewing that very same project unfavorably is an evil, terrible lie and and a conspiracy theory.
00:16:15.000 In any case, the way that the libs were able to sell DEI to the ordinary normie voter was to say, oh, it's not that really big a deal.
00:16:27.000 You know, look, we like we like brown people.
00:16:29.000 We like women.
00:16:30.000 We like homosexuals.
00:16:31.000 We like whatever.
00:16:32.000 And so we're we're just we're just going to force them in there.
00:16:36.000 We don't think there are enough of them.
00:16:38.000 And so we're going to pick an arbitrary number.
00:16:40.000 And that's that's how many of them we want in.
00:16:42.000 And yeah, we're going to have to unjustly discriminate against white people and men.
00:16:46.000 But, you know, it's OK.
00:16:47.000 Isn't it great?
00:16:48.000 Because then we'll get more of those people we like.
00:16:50.000 And you know what?
00:16:51.000 It's no big deal.
00:16:52.000 Nothing's really going to change.
00:16:55.000 There can be real consequences to this.
00:16:57.000 Hundreds of millions of gallons of excrement coming to a town near you, whether literally or figuratively,
00:17:07.000 coming to a town near you when you reform your political order on unjust premises such as this kind of discrimination.
00:17:16.000 OK, speaking of bad government, Zoran Mamdani just admitted that he killed 16 New Yorkers.
00:17:23.000 I think the number actually rose to 20 during the recent freeze.
00:17:26.000 No one's really reporting on this, but it was as clear and implicit admission as ever we saw.
00:17:31.000 First, though, speaking of death and life, I want to tell you about Preborn.
00:17:35.000 Go to preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, 80,000 babies.
00:17:40.000 That is how many lives were saved last year through our sponsor, Preborn, and Preborn supporters like you.
00:17:46.000 Right now, thousands of women are being told the same heartbreaking lie that abortion is their only choice,
00:17:51.000 that they're on their own, that there's no way forward.
00:17:54.000 But everything shifts the moment an expectant mother walks into a Preborn network clinic and sees her baby on that ultrasound screen.
00:18:00.000 In that instant, her chance of choosing life doubles.
00:18:03.000 It's not abstract anymore.
00:18:05.000 It's her baby created in God's image, a sacred life meant to be cherished and protected.
00:18:09.000 When she hears that heartbeat for the very first time, a divine bond is formed.
00:18:12.000 Today, we can all support a mother in need.
00:18:16.000 One Preborn donor put it beautifully,
00:18:18.000 My Mother Chose Life, that's the only reason I'm here today, and that's exactly why I give to Preborn,
00:18:22.000 so other mothers can make that same choice.
00:18:24.000 A donation of $28 provides one ultrasound that could save a life and impact generations to come.
00:18:29.000 I personally support this organization.
00:18:31.000 I think they do incredible work.
00:18:32.000 100% of the money that you give will go towards saving babies.
00:18:35.000 They fundraise for admin overhead separately.
00:18:38.000 Call pound 250, say the keyword baby.
00:18:40.000 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

00:19:05.000 AP reporting, very, very liberal news outlet, the Associated Press reporting,
00:19:10.000 Zoran Mamdani reboots homeless encampment sweeps in New York City.
00:19:15.000 Now, they're kind of playing this down a little bit.
00:19:19.000 Zoran Mamdani reboots.
00:19:21.000 He's rebooting.
00:19:22.000 This is kind of fun.
00:19:23.000 It's like the latest Marvel movie.
00:19:24.000 Homeless encampment sweeps in New York City.
00:19:27.000 What do you mean reboot?
00:19:28.000 Why has he got to reboot it?
00:19:29.000 Oh, because if that headline were honest, it would say,
00:19:34.000 Zoran Mamdani reverses his own policy to stop removing homeless encampments in New York City.
00:19:43.000 But wait a second.
00:19:44.000 It's February.
00:19:45.000 It's February 19th.
00:19:47.000 Zoran Mamdani's been in office for like five minutes.
00:19:50.000 So that's actually a pretty big news story.
00:19:52.000 There was a policy.
00:19:54.000 He came in and enacted a new policy.
00:19:57.000 He reversed the old policy.
00:19:58.000 He put in his new policy.
00:19:59.000 And then something happened.
00:20:02.000 And then he's now rebooting the old policy.
00:20:05.000 Like five seconds later, what happened?
00:20:07.000 Must have been pretty dramatic whatever happened.
00:20:09.000 Oh, right.
00:20:10.000 He killed 20 New Yorkers.
00:20:12.000 Within just a few days, he killed 13.
00:20:14.000 By leaving these homeless out on the street, he let 13 freeze to death and three overdose.
00:20:20.000 I guess three or four more died in the days that followed.
00:20:25.000 A reminder that Zoran's policy, which was sold as compassion,
00:20:29.000 it's compassionate to let schizophrenics and drug addicts live on the street.
00:20:34.000 It's compassionate to let them be exposed to the elements.
00:20:37.000 It's compassionate to let them kill themselves with drugs and rape each other and mug each other.
00:20:41.000 And it's compassionate to let innocent, normal, law-abiding New Yorkers
00:20:45.000 have to deal with people who are at least crazy and possibly criminal wherever they go in the city.
00:20:51.000 That's compassionate, right?
00:20:53.000 Turns out it's not compassionate to anybody.
00:20:54.000 But don't let him live this down.
00:20:56.000 This was Zoran Mamdani campaigning just a few months ago.
00:21:01.000 He's done since the start of his administration.
00:21:06.000 Thousands of swaps have happened since 2024, but no one has been offered permanent housing.
00:21:11.000 And I think the data from May was 114 were offered in shelter.
00:21:15.000 Will you continue this week?
00:21:16.000 They were asking you not to.
00:21:18.000 No.
00:21:19.000 No.
00:21:20.000 No.
00:21:21.000 There it is.
00:21:22.000 No.
00:21:23.000 I will not sweep the homeless.
00:21:24.000 This old policy under the Adams administration going back further.
00:21:28.000 No.
00:21:29.000 Not gonna do it.
00:21:30.000 And he realized he was wrong like that.
00:21:32.000 Same thing with his economic policies.
00:21:35.000 He's already out of money.
00:21:36.000 He already doesn't have money for his policies.
00:21:39.000 Do not let them take the spotlight off Mamdani.
00:21:41.000 Mamdani's win was heralded as a great sign for Democrats.
00:21:44.000 Come November, we're headed toward a blue wave.
00:21:47.000 Americans are sick of Trump and these conservative policies.
00:21:50.000 This guy, Zoran Mamdani, the poster child of the young, new, cool, hip Democrat party,
00:21:56.000 has failed and admitted that he's failed in record time.
00:22:00.000 I've never seen anything like this in all of politics.
00:22:03.000 One month, he's reversing his signature policies because he killed a bunch of people in like a month.
00:22:09.000 That's what Democrats can promise you in November.
00:22:15.000 What they can promise you in November is failure, poverty, death and excrement in your water.
00:22:21.000 That's what they're gonna promise you.
00:22:22.000 Okay.
00:22:23.000 And they're gonna do it fast if they win.
00:22:25.000 Okay.
00:22:26.000 Now, given all of the real factual disadvantages that the Democrats have,
00:22:33.000 because Trump is doing very well, the Republicans are doing very well on just practical policies
00:22:37.000 and the Dems are leaving you with sewage and death.
00:22:41.000 How are the Democrats gonna spin things come November?
00:22:45.000 Probably the most disgusting display I've seen from the Democrats in years.
00:22:52.000 CNN is actually trying to tell you that the conclusion from the assassination of Charlie Kirk,
00:23:00.000 that we should all draw, is that the real threat to America comes from the conservatives.
00:23:06.000 Well, for the past several months, I've been working on a special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America.
00:23:15.000 If you're not familiar, Christian nationalism is an ideology rooted in the belief that our country was founded as a Christian nation
00:23:21.000 and that our laws and institutions should reflect Christian values.
00:23:25.000 Put a pause here.
00:23:26.000 In the lead up to-
00:23:27.000 So, it's this crazy belief.
00:23:29.000 This is, Christian nationalism is the crazy belief that America was founded as a Christian nation.
00:23:33.000 You know, like, I mean, could you imagine, like, if, as if America were founded by a ship full of extremely zealous Christians,
00:23:41.000 who called themselves pilgrims, and then more ships of extremely zealous Christians, called themselves Puritans,
00:23:50.000 said that the country would be a model of Christian charity in a shiny city on a hill, for instance.
00:23:55.000 A self-conception of America that would be consistently reaffirmed up to and including through the presidency of Ronald Reagan,
00:24:05.000 who recited those very same words in the 1980s.
00:24:08.000 You know, the kind of country that says, like, in God we trust on our money, or in God do we trust in our national anthem.
00:24:15.000 The kind of country that say, I don't know, the founding fathers would have described as being founded on the principles of Christian morality
00:24:22.000 and sharing a common religion. For instance, the kind of country that would be founded with a constitution that recognized established Christian churches in multiple U.S. states.
00:24:30.000 For instance, just hypothetically, could you imagine that possibility?
00:24:34.000 Please pardon the lengthy diatribe. Just want to point out, by her own definition, Christian nationalism is like the only proper way to view the American political project.
00:24:47.000 She goes further on Christian nationalism even than I do, albeit out of ignorance.
00:24:51.000 Okay, keep going.
00:24:52.000 My hour-long documentary this weekend, we're going to bring you a preview of what you'll see,
00:24:57.000 starting off with the assassination of Charlie Kirk last year.
00:25:01.000 Experts say it was a pivotal moment for the movement, an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists
00:25:08.000 and the Trump administration as they honored him.
00:25:15.000 September 21st, 2025.
00:25:23.000 America is a nation in grief, a nation in shock, and a nation in mourning.
00:25:30.000 Charles James Kirk was heinously murdered.
00:25:41.000 That young man...
00:25:45.000 I forgive him.
00:25:52.000 Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent Christian nationalist, was assassinated.
00:25:58.000 It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message.
00:26:02.000 Our greatest evangelist for American liberty became immortal.
00:26:09.000 And it was a call to action.
00:26:13.000 My charge to all of you, put Christ at the center of your life as he advocated for giving his.
00:26:21.000 The memorial service was one of the most potent examples of the shift in our culture that we're experiencing right now,
00:26:34.000 where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas radicalized.
00:26:41.000 Put a pause. There it is.
00:26:43.000 You're waiting.
00:26:44.000 So you see this guy, this complete loser.
00:26:49.000 You don't know if he's a loser at first.
00:26:51.000 You think maybe he's just saying, look, this was a big shift in our culture.
00:26:55.000 This is a big shift in our culture.
00:26:56.000 I agree.
00:26:57.000 I was there.
00:26:58.000 I was there at Charlie's memorial service.
00:27:01.000 I was there at Erica's beautiful speech.
00:27:05.000 I was there when the entire government came out and they gave these beautiful evangelistic memorials for Charlie.
00:27:12.000 It was just absolutely gorgeous.
00:27:14.000 I was there.
00:27:15.000 He says, this was a pivotal moment.
00:27:17.000 And you say, okay, go on.
00:27:19.000 For radicalization.
00:27:21.000 I say, what a freaking loser.
00:27:23.000 These people, it's unbelievable.
00:27:26.000 It's, you almost couldn't make it up.
00:27:28.000 The takeaway from Charlie's memorial service, from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, is that the real threat is conservatives.
00:27:36.000 Hold on. Wrap it up, CNN, and then I'll get to what this means.
00:27:40.000 That say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians' rights.
00:27:47.000 It's just crazy that, you know, Charlie Kirk and the people like him would ever imagine that they were the persecuted ones.
00:27:54.000 After a leftist LGBT activist shot Charlie Kirk on television, on stream, in front of hundreds or thousands of people.
00:28:09.000 After the same kind of LGBT left-wing assassin who has repeatedly targeted and attempted and threatened and tried to kill a lot of conservatives over the last decade.
00:28:23.000 After one of them actually pulled it off.
00:28:25.000 Actually pulled it off.
00:28:26.000 Killed one of the most gracious guys in American politics.
00:28:29.000 One of the great coalition builders who just tried to talk it out and have civil discourse.
00:28:34.000 And who was very, very effective.
00:28:36.000 After that guy was slain.
00:28:38.000 And then his heroic wife shows up on stage.
00:28:42.000 And along with the entire Trump administration practically, but led by Charlie's heroic wife gets up there and encourages what?
00:28:53.000 Retribution, violence, vigilantism like the left would be encouraging, like the left constantly perpetrates.
00:28:59.000 No, encourages Christian virtue as a response.
00:29:03.000 Unbelievable, unbelievable beauty.
00:29:06.000 I mean, we were all tearing up at least or crying in the room.
00:29:11.000 And it wasn't just Erica.
00:29:12.000 You hear Pete Hegsett there.
00:29:15.000 You heard the secretary of state, the vice president, the president, on and on and on.
00:29:20.000 The entire room encouraging Christian virtue as a response to the left, killing one of our leaders, then celebrating killing one of our leaders and encouraging killing more of our leaders as well as ordinary rank and file members.
00:29:35.000 And the grieving widow, the organization that the guy founded and the entire Trump administration encourages Christian virtue as a response.
00:29:46.000 And CNN comes out with this putrid, disgusting documentary, far more toxic than whatever excrement is in the Potomac right now.
00:29:55.000 And they say, actually, you know what, after one of us shot Charlie Kirk and then we all celebrated, you know what we need to conclude that conservatives are the real threat.
00:30:03.000 These people make me want to vomit.
00:30:05.000 And how do we respond to this?
00:30:09.000 There's a real key in here is a real key, which is the expert so-called says, you know, when Charlie Kirk was shot, this was a pivotal moment.
00:30:18.000 There was this unity around what a Christian nationalism.
00:30:22.000 Let me tell you something.
00:30:23.000 If you, if you don't like Christian nationalism, wait till you see on Christian nationalism.
00:30:27.000 You don't like the religious, right?
00:30:28.000 Wait until you see the irreligious, right?
00:30:30.000 Because you're not going to like that.
00:30:31.000 I promise you.
00:30:32.000 I promise you that.
00:30:33.000 But they said there was this moment of unity and we had to stop it.
00:30:38.000 The Democrats had to stop it.
00:30:39.000 The liberal activists had to stop it.
00:30:41.000 The liberal media had to stop it.
00:30:42.000 Demons, I think, had to stop it.
00:30:44.000 Like, like literal demons had to stop it.
00:30:46.000 They didn't like that unity.
00:30:48.000 And then what does the right do?
00:30:50.000 The right reacts to that.
00:30:51.000 And the right is always infighting.
00:30:52.000 And then there are all these jealous, jockeying people who are always, that's just constantly true on the right.
00:30:57.000 They're always just jockeying for position, sometimes motivated by ideology, often just motivated by personal gain.
00:31:02.000 And everyone's always fighting with each other.
00:31:04.000 And, you know, that's not my M.O.
00:31:06.000 I try not to get involved in that because it's a lose lose.
00:31:09.000 The people who are always trying to do the infighting, they love it when you talk about them.
00:31:14.000 That's what they want.
00:31:15.000 And the people who don't love, don't just do it for attention, but the ones who actually are doing it for ideological struggles.
00:31:24.000 There's no benefit to coalitional unity if you talk about it.
00:31:28.000 You don't want to, you don't want to give, you don't want to give these people what they want.
00:31:31.000 You especially don't want to give CNN what, what it wants.
00:31:34.000 Keep your eyes on the prize.
00:31:37.000 Because the left is, the left recognizes that unity in the wake of Charlie's assassination, which we had, at least for a little bit, and maybe we still, I think in the real world, we actually substantially do still have that.
00:31:51.000 But that kind of unity, that kind of focus, that kind of clarity of purpose, that kind of clarity of who opposes us, it's very, very potent.
00:32:00.000 And they're trying to take it down.
00:32:02.000 And their real issue is not even with Charlie Kirk, or Erica, or TPUSA, or Pete Hegseth, or Marco Rubio, or J.D. Vance, or Donald Trump.
00:32:12.000 You know who their real issue is with?
00:32:13.000 It's the subject of the documentary.
00:32:15.000 Their real issue is with Christianity.
00:32:18.000 Christianity is a guiding political principle, which means that their real issue is with Christ.
00:32:23.000 Their real issue is with God.
00:32:28.000 The Dems see very clearly what they have to do to win in November.
00:32:35.000 We should see that clearly, too.
00:32:37.000 We should recognize whatever factional, I don't like this.
00:32:40.000 I don't like this person.
00:32:41.000 I don't like that candidate.
00:32:42.000 I don't like this broadcaster.
00:32:43.000 I don't, whatever.
00:32:45.000 If it's contrary to common purpose, just ignore it.
00:32:48.000 Just ignore it and move on and keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused.
00:32:52.000 Now, speaking of clearing the air, I want to tell you about my absolute favorite air purifier, and that is Rabbit Air.
00:33:01.000 Go to rabbitair.com.
00:33:03.000 I cannot possibly recommend Rabbit Air's six-stage filtration system enough.
00:33:10.000 I love it.
00:33:11.000 So, first of all, I'm a cigar smoker.
00:33:12.000 This really matters to me.
00:33:13.000 We'll get to that in a second.
00:33:14.000 Second, though, I do not smoke cigars in my home.
00:33:17.000 I smoke cigars in my studio.
00:33:19.000 I smoke cigars in my car.
00:33:20.000 I smoke cigars in a lot of places, but not in my home.
00:33:23.000 And yet, I insist upon having multiple Rabbit Airs, the A3, in my home.
00:33:28.000 It is the best air purifier.
00:33:31.000 Sweet little Lisa loves it.
00:33:32.000 It's amazing the kind of stuff it pulls out of the air.
00:33:34.000 It's great.
00:33:35.000 Now, when we're talking about cigar smoke, the Rabbit Air is perfect if you're a cigar smoker.
00:33:39.000 It doesn't just move the smoke.
00:33:41.000 It captures it.
00:33:42.000 It is engineered to trap and reduce the air of heavy smoke particles and lingering odors, ensuring that your room stays fresh long after you've smoked.
00:33:49.000 The new dual hive activated carbon filter provides superior air contact, enhanced odor reduction.
00:33:55.000 It's just amazing.
00:33:56.000 I've used Rabbit Air for years.
00:33:57.000 I have never been a big believer in air purifiers.
00:34:00.000 Rabbit Air convinced me.
00:34:02.000 I highly, highly recommend for your wife, for all the non-smokers out there, people who just want clean air, and especially if you're a cigar smoker, Rabbit Air.com.
00:34:10.000 Call their consultants 24-7 for a personalized recommendation.
00:34:13.000 Tell them I sent you.
00:34:15.000 You will get the best setup for your home and especially for your smoking space.
00:34:20.000 Speaking of left-wing violence, mention this at the top of the show.
00:34:24.000 I don't even know if this counts as a news story anymore.
00:34:27.000 When it happens every day, is it a news story?
00:34:30.000 A woman has set fire to a Kansas City warehouse that is said to be an ICE detention facility.
00:34:37.000 You can see the woman, this is posted by Rapid Report 2025.
00:34:41.000 She's pouring some kind of gasoline, some butane or something, onto the facility, a lighter fluid, I don't know.
00:34:53.000 These women, man, these women, in the wake of crazy Peggy Flanagan, Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, organizing the anti-ICE protests, riots, obstructing police.
00:35:06.000 Renee Good, the poor woman who wound up getting herself killed because she thought it was a good idea to go out and play Captain Marvel on behalf of Venezuelan child rapists.
00:35:14.000 She thought that'd be really smart.
00:35:15.000 Then she was going to drive her SUV into a cop and she didn't think there'd be any consequences.
00:35:19.000 Because why?
00:35:20.000 I don't know, because something clearly went a little wrong in her brain.
00:35:23.000 Something clearly went a little wrong in her emotions.
00:35:25.000 But it's all these people.
00:35:27.000 It's not just women, but it is disproportionately women.
00:35:30.000 It's disproportionately like this kind of woman who is doing this.
00:35:34.000 And do you know why it's happening?
00:35:38.000 Can I say it?
00:35:39.000 This is going to be a little bit politically incorrect, but it's 100% accurate.
00:35:43.000 It's because these women need husbands.
00:35:45.000 That's why.
00:35:46.000 That's why.
00:35:47.000 These women are going crazy because they don't have husbands.
00:35:50.000 In some cases, maybe technically they're married, but they are married in 100% of cases to complete schlub jokers who don't actually husband their wives.
00:36:02.000 And in a lot of cases, they're not married.
00:36:04.000 And you see this reflected in broader social data that women are putting off getting married.
00:36:08.000 And now for the first time ever, high school boys want to get married at a higher rate than high school girls.
00:36:14.000 Completely insane.
00:36:15.000 Single women now believe, 55% of single women now believe that single women are happier than married women.
00:36:21.000 So you see this major decline in marriage.
00:36:24.000 And even the women who do get married marry these effeminate eunuchs who are, practically speaking, not really husbands.
00:36:31.000 And women need husbands.
00:36:34.000 And men need wives.
00:36:36.000 Men need wives because wives, as we have often observed on the Daily Wire, wives civilize men.
00:36:42.000 They domesticate men to a certain degree.
00:36:44.000 They force men, paradoxically, not only to be domesticated, but to become even more tough, even more ferocious.
00:36:51.000 Because now the men have responsibilities and they've got to go out there and they've got to bring home the bacon and they've got to protect their family.
00:36:56.000 And so, weirdly, marriage makes men both a little bit softer, a little bit more sensitive, but also tougher at the same time.
00:37:05.000 So, men need to get married, but women need to get married too.
00:37:10.000 Because women can be completely nuts.
00:37:12.000 And you know that.
00:37:13.000 And ladies, I'm talking to you, you know that too.
00:37:15.000 Women can be real kooky.
00:37:17.000 And sometimes women need their husbands to say, hey, honey, lovingly, but hey, honey, you're a little bit crazy right now.
00:37:26.000 And you need to calm down and you need to put down the can of gasoline.
00:37:30.000 Honey, I know you're upset by whatever you saw on TikTok, but you can't go burn down the ICE facility.
00:37:39.000 I know your mother said that thing to you the other day and you're really angry because your sister's not even taking your side.
00:37:47.000 And I know, no, I know, honey, but you can't drive your SUV into a cop.
00:37:51.000 You can't.
00:37:52.000 And actually, even if you were just focused on the issue at hand, you should not endanger your life and the life of a police officer to defend a Venezuelan child rapist.
00:38:04.000 No.
00:38:05.000 No.
00:38:06.000 Women need that.
00:38:09.000 They need husbands.
00:38:10.000 Husbands need wives too.
00:38:12.000 But wives need husbands.
00:38:14.000 And these women need to be married.
00:38:16.000 And if they are technically married to men, the men need to act like men and not like eunuchs.
00:38:22.000 Have I made my point clear?
00:38:24.000 Do I need to be more clear?
00:38:25.000 I'm not sure I could be more clear about that point.
00:38:27.000 Speaking of marriage, the United Nations has a very important message for everyone.
00:38:34.000 The message is a child should never be in a marriage.
00:38:38.000 Hashtag end child marriage at UNFPA.
00:38:44.000 Okay.
00:38:45.000 Every three seconds, writes the UN, a girl is married somewhere in the world.
00:38:49.000 Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential.
00:38:54.000 That's so true.
00:38:55.000 This Valentine's Day, join UNFPA in speaking out against this form of gender-based violence.
00:39:00.000 Except, wait a second, the picture that the UN used is of a little, lily-white, blonde-haired girl.
00:39:08.000 Well, that's kind of weird, isn't it?
00:39:11.000 I mean, look, maybe that's referring to Rotherham.
00:39:13.000 Maybe that's referring to the Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK that even the UK authorities don't want to talk about
00:39:18.000 because they're too busy making a big spectacle out of Prince Andrew.
00:39:20.000 Maybe that's what's going on.
00:39:21.000 But are little, white, blonde girls entering into child marriages, which are really just a kind of a form of rape?
00:39:31.000 Well, let's look at the statistics.
00:39:33.000 Where is the highest prevalence of child marriage?
00:39:36.000 The highest prevalence of child marriage, is it in the Nordic countries with those blonde, white girls?
00:39:43.000 Is it in England?
00:39:44.000 Is it in Canada?
00:39:46.000 Is it?
00:39:47.000 Oh no, it's in Sub-Saharan Africa, where one in three girls are subject to child marriage.
00:39:53.000 33% of girls.
00:39:55.000 Okay.
00:39:56.000 Well, surely, I mean, look, the UN would never lie or misrepresent politics.
00:40:00.000 So surely the second most prevalent group in child marriages, that must be the blonde, lily-white girls, right?
00:40:07.000 No, it's actually India and Bangladesh.
00:40:09.000 India and Bangladesh, which are so populous that they actually constitute a third of all child marriages.
00:40:15.000 Okay.
00:40:16.000 Well, come on.
00:40:17.000 Those awful, colonizing, blonde, white people must be guilty of this somewhere, right?
00:40:21.000 No.
00:40:22.000 The next group is the indigenous and black populations of Latin America and the Caribbean.
00:40:27.000 Not even the total population.
00:40:29.000 Specifically, the indigenous and African descended populations of Latin America and the Caribbean.
00:40:36.000 Two to three times the prevalence of people with white background.
00:40:44.000 And then, okay, after that, please, come on, please, it's gotta be England.
00:40:47.000 It's gotta be Ireland.
00:40:48.000 It's gotta be, nope.
00:40:49.000 It's Middle East, North Africa.
00:40:51.000 And when you finally get to this occurring in European countries, it's gypsies.
00:40:58.000 So again, I say this not to invade against the Sub-Saharan Africans or the Indians or the Bangladeshis
00:41:04.000 or the indigenous or the black population or the Caribbean or whatever, the MENA, the gypsies.
00:41:09.000 Gypsies actually, well, it's a topic for another time.
00:41:12.000 Anyway, no, we like all of these people.
00:41:15.000 They're all children of God.
00:41:16.000 We don't mean to, but we will not solve political problems if we lie about the problem.
00:41:25.000 And the UN has to lie about the problem because the UN has adopted an ideology that says white
00:41:31.000 people are always bad and non-white people are always good.
00:41:34.000 And that's the ideology that liberal woke globalism adopts.
00:41:38.000 And the problem is that the actual rapes in this case are entirely non-white people, entirely.
00:41:47.000 So if you're looking, if you're going to start investigating the little blonde communities,
00:41:51.000 you're not going to catch a single child marriage.
00:41:54.000 If you want to stop, just broadly, if you want to stop the sexual abuse of children,
00:41:59.000 sending the coppers to go arrest Prince Andrew at one of the royal estates is going to do precisely nothing.
00:42:07.000 Nothing.
00:42:08.000 And everyone kind of knows it.
00:42:10.000 There are a lot of places you could go in England to stop child rape that's going on right now.
00:42:14.000 But the authorities generally won't even do that.
00:42:17.000 Because the perpetrators, they don't look the right way.
00:42:20.000 Hashtag stop child marriage, but don't admit who's actually engaging in the child marriages.
00:42:26.000 We can't admit that.
00:42:27.000 Okay, so you don't want to stop it.
00:42:29.000 Okay, that's fine.
00:42:32.000 When given the choice between fixing political problems and giving up a false political ideology,
00:42:40.000 the liberals, and I'm sorry, and maintaining a false political ideology.
00:42:46.000 The liberals will always choose to maintain the false ideology.
00:42:49.000 They will never fix the problem.
00:42:51.000 They will let the homeless people die in the streets until they're truly heinously pressured to stop it.
00:42:58.000 And by the way, they're still going to let the homeless die in the streets because they're not going to fix the drug laws,
00:43:02.000 and they're probably not even going to enforce the homeless encampment rule.
00:43:04.000 They're not going to stop the child abuse.
00:43:08.000 They're not going to stop the violence in the streets and more Muslim violence taking place every moment we look.
00:43:15.000 They're not going to stop any of that.
00:43:17.000 You could have, just to go back to the CNN point, the most prominent conservative activist in the country,
00:43:23.000 slain by the most typical, it's almost a caricature of a left-wing activist.
00:43:29.000 The young, LGBT, freak, super online radical shoots Charlie Kirk, and they will find a way to blame Charlie Kirk.
00:43:42.000 They will find a way to blame the conservative.
00:43:44.000 Because you could have the Atlantic Magazine saying, you know, political terrorism is actually a left-wing problem now.
00:43:50.000 When given the choice between fixing the problem and keeping their false ideology, they will always choose the ideology every single time.
00:43:58.000 Okay, speaking of LGBT, another day, another heinous story about a trans-identifying lunatic who is being released by the authorities to go commit more crimes.

00:46:26.000 We were working late last night.
00:46:28.000 We were doing bar fight.
00:46:30.000 We had a couple episodes of bar fight last night.
00:46:32.000 We, you know, we wake up early.
00:46:34.000 Anyway, I'm just, I'm just, that's what I'm just telling you.
00:46:36.000 If it wasn't a good comment, blame the producers.
00:46:38.000 This is from Drummer's Workshop Norm's Music.
00:46:40.000 All right.
00:46:41.000 It's a good sign.
00:46:42.000 I grew up in a poor black.
00:46:43.000 I grew up a poor black dyslexic child.
00:46:46.000 Gavin Newsom.
00:46:47.000 A reference to one of my very favorite movies.
00:46:49.000 The Jerk.
00:46:50.000 Okay.
00:46:51.000 All right, producers.
00:46:52.000 You did all right today.
00:46:55.000 Turning to America's evil top hat, Canada.
00:46:58.000 A Canadian tranny who stabbed his seven year old son and eight year old daughter is reportedly
00:47:03.000 out on bail.
00:47:04.000 This is a hat tip to Billboard Chris here.
00:47:06.000 What does aforementioned tranny have to say?
00:47:12.000 I just wanted to do a check in, let people know that I am being safe and being secure.
00:47:18.000 I have taken care of my needs and I am just chilling until I actually go for my sentencing.
00:47:29.000 And yeah, I did kind of realize that we do have a highly unique opportunity here.
00:47:38.000 Whereas I'm someone who did something heinous and I'm on social media.
00:47:43.000 Whereas a lot, pretty much all the other people who do something heinous get locked in a box and blocked out from society and they don't get to talk to them.
00:47:53.000 So like, does it put me at risk?
00:48:00.000 I'm already at risk.
00:48:01.000 I'm already at risk.
00:48:06.000 So whatever.
00:48:07.000 Okay, so for the libs who watch this show, and I'm always appreciative to the libs who watch this show.
00:48:14.000 Does this seem like the kind of guy who should be out on the street?
00:48:19.000 The crazy costume, the crazy filthy looking hair, wrapped in some sort of blanket, ostensibly living in a car, nails painted as a man, laughing demonically saying, am I a risk?
00:48:32.000 I'm always a risk.
00:48:37.000 Should that person be free to roam about the streets after stabbing a boy and a girl?
00:48:44.000 Probably not, right?
00:48:47.000 Probably not.
00:48:48.000 So why?
00:48:49.000 Why is it?
00:48:50.000 Rather than, you know, I know a lot of my friends on the right, they just get very angry about this.
00:48:54.000 And they say, this is outrageous, you know, and they kind of beat their fists on the table.
00:48:57.000 I very rarely beat my fist on the table because I want to figure out why this is happening because I'd like to solve the problem.
00:49:03.000 Why, in what kind of world would a judge let this person out on the street?
00:49:09.000 In what kind of world would society tolerate this or even encourage this guy with every red flag to dye his hair crazy colors, not to bathe, to paint his nails, to be released after stabbing children, to admit that he is a risk to people and then still leave him on the street, not immediately arrest him.
00:49:27.000 So the cause of this, I think, is pretty simple.
00:49:31.000 It is expressive individualism.
00:49:33.000 It is the fact that we have exalted expressive individualism as our national ideology.
00:49:40.000 That term was coined by Robert Bella.
00:49:43.000 I think it was Bella who coined the term.
00:49:46.000 And expressive individualism says that self-actualization is the highest goal.
00:49:52.000 So, expressive individualism, in its very nature, opposes tradition.
00:49:57.000 Because tradition doesn't allow you to express yourself in your full individuality, supposedly.
00:50:02.000 Expressive individualism creates thin relationships because we're all just individuals.
00:50:07.000 So, even when you get married, you know, you could get divorced at any time.
00:50:11.000 It's all just about you.
00:50:12.000 It's all about whether or not your partner is serving your needs.
00:50:15.000 Your kids are really just accoutrement and adornment for you.
00:50:18.000 It's all just about you.
00:50:20.000 Nations are really just about you.
00:50:22.000 You don't really sacrifice for the nation.
00:50:23.000 You just try to figure out what you can get out of the nation.
00:50:25.000 And it promotes a therapeutic telos.
00:50:30.000 So, the aim of life is to make yourself feel good.
00:50:35.000 It's not that the aim of the Christian telos is to go to heaven, to know God, to love him, and serve him in this world, and to be with him forever and eternity.
00:50:44.000 That's the end of the Christian life.
00:50:46.000 The end of the stoic life is to live virtuously.
00:50:51.000 Actually, plenty of pagan traditions say that the end of life is to live virtuously.
00:50:56.000 The end of the hedonic life of hedonism is to have pleasure, whether we're talking about base pleasures or even whether we're talking about higher or intellectual pleasures.
00:51:06.000 That's what the end of that life is.
00:51:08.000 The end of expressive individualism is therapy.
00:51:12.000 It's just to feel really, really yourself.
00:51:16.000 To be authentic.
00:51:17.000 Whatever that means.
00:51:19.000 To be that which is uniquely you and not in any way affected by anything else.
00:51:26.000 But, of course, this is impossible because we're mimetic creatures.
00:51:29.000 And so you can never actually separate yourself from your environment.
00:51:32.000 You can never actually remove yourself from time and space.
00:51:34.000 So it leads to people just going completely nuts.
00:51:37.000 And I guess the most extreme form of that, you see this throughout society, but the most extreme form of that is probably in the trans ideology.
00:51:44.000 Which is why the trannies are much more violent, certainly against themselves.
00:51:48.000 41% suicide rate and a 7% yearly suicide attempt rate.
00:51:52.000 But they're violent against other people too.
00:51:55.000 The FBI just released some numbers yesterday that in the past five years, the incidents, the active shooter incidents involving an adult trans identifying male are double that of those involving an adult normal male.
00:52:09.000 So anyway, it's violent.
00:52:10.000 It leads to craziness.
00:52:11.000 It leads to this guy cackling like a demon saying, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I'm a risk to everybody, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:52:18.000 So if that's the root cause, and we don't want to just treat the symptoms, then actually, it's not enough just to make fun of the trannies.
00:52:25.000 I don't really want to make fun of the trannies.
00:52:27.000 I feel very bad for the trannies.
00:52:28.000 It's not even enough to try to treat the trannies.
00:52:31.000 Or to try to, you know, circumscribe transgenderism such that we don't trans the kids, but the adults, we leave them to be to do whatever they want to harm themselves, just like Zoran Mamdani leaves the homeless to die in the streets of New York.
00:52:42.000 That's not enough.
00:52:43.000 That's not enough.
00:52:44.000 We actually have to look even further into ourselves and into our political order.
00:52:48.000 Are we going to say self-actualization, expressive individualism is the highest goal, as many people on the right say?
00:52:55.000 Are we going to say, no, there's something more important, tradition, order.
00:53:00.000 Christianity, say, religious truth, grace, virtue, are those the highest end.
00:53:08.000 Until we're willing to say that, we're not even really treating the symptom.
00:53:12.000 We're barely treating the symptom, and the problem will only get worse.
00:53:15.000 Okay.
00:53:16.000 Much more to say, but today is Theology Thursday.
00:53:19.000 The rest of the show continues now.

00:53:30.000 What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?
00:53:45.000 Is that who you think I was alone with?
00:53:51.000 Meridyn, I knew your father.
00:53:53.000 I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.
00:53:56.000 All men know of the great Taliesin.
00:54:01.000 You are my father, that the gods should war for my soul.
00:54:06.000 Princess Garrus, savior of our people.
00:54:12.000 I know what the bull god offered you.
00:54:15.000 I was offered the same.
00:54:16.000 And?
00:54:18.000 There is a new power at work in the world.
00:54:20.000 I've seen it.
00:54:22.000 A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.
00:54:24.000 We are each given only one life, singer.
00:54:27.000 No.
00:54:29.000 And we're given another.
00:54:33.000 I learnt of Yezu the Christ.
00:54:35.000 And I have become his follower.
00:54:37.000 He's waiting on a miracle.
00:54:39.000 And I think you can give him one.
00:54:41.000 Trust in Yezu.
00:54:42.000 He is the only hope for men like us.
00:54:45.000 Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.
00:54:48.000 Great light?
00:54:49.000 Great darkness.
00:54:51.000 Such things mattered to me then.
00:54:53.000 What matters to you now mistress of lies?
00:54:57.000 You.
00:54:58.000 Nephew.
00:55:02.000 The sword of a high king.
00:55:06.000 How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?
00:55:13.000 So clinging to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.
00:55:16.000 I cannot take up that sword again.
00:55:19.000 You know what you must do.
