The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 342 - The End Of History

00:00:00.260 Students at Hofstra University are demanding that the school tear down a statue of Thomas Jefferson.

00:00:05.460 Meanwhile, a Northern California public school district is considering painting over a mural of George Washington

00:00:10.580 because a working group deemed the painting, quote,

00:00:14.260 traumatizing to students and community members.

00:00:17.220 We will analyze the end of history.

00:00:19.760 Then, an Alabama legislator admits abortion is murder,

00:00:22.920 academics normalize pedophilia, and finally, the mailbag.

00:00:26.040 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 You ever notice that President Trump has this bizarre knack for predicting things?

00:00:40.660 I'm not saying he's historically very well-versed or, you know, is the most book-learned man that's ever walked the earth,

00:00:48.160 but he has this incredible knack for predicting things.

00:00:52.500 And one of his predictions just came true, again, in a really distressing way.

00:00:58.180 We'll get to that in a second, but first, hiring used to be very hard.

00:02:10.820 President Trump has this incredible ability to predict things.

00:02:17.960 So he did, the first time I noticed this was in 2015.

00:02:20.800 He announced that he was running for president on June 16th, 2015.

00:02:25.720 You remember he comes down Trump Tower, he gives this long speech about how illegal aliens are criminals, they're threatening the country, 1.00

00:02:32.880 we need to build a wall, we need to block the illegals from coming into the country. 1.00

00:02:36.440 And he was pilloried for this.

00:02:38.180 They said illegal aliens don't commit crime. 1.00

00:02:40.120 They, stop it, how dare you, it's awful, it's made up, it's fiction.

00:02:43.860 And then what happened?

00:02:44.780 Two weeks later, we had one of the most high-profile murders in recent memory.

00:02:50.420 And it was an illegal alien who killed Katie Steinle, an American citizen.

00:02:54.760 And I thought, does this guy just, does he just say things and then reality decides to comport with whatever he's saying?

00:03:02.520 So, this also, this happened, first of all, with his election.

00:03:06.560 He predicted when he did that, that roast of Donald Trump on Comedy Central, and everyone thought he was a joke running for president in 2011, 2012.

00:03:14.900 He said, look, I'm not sure if I'm going to run, but if I do, I'm going to do a lot better than everyone thinks I'm going to do.

00:03:20.980 Everybody laughed at him.

00:03:21.920 We were told by all these Nobel Prize-winning economists that the economy would crash if he were elected.

00:03:26.800 He said it would boom.

00:03:27.560 What happened?

00:03:28.080 It boomed.

00:03:28.720 This happened again.

00:03:30.040 And this is an even more consequential prediction than any of those.

00:03:34.840 You remember, during that Charlottesville incident,

00:03:37.880 President Trump made a very precise prediction about what would happen if we start knocking down Confederate statues.

00:03:46.380 George Washington was a slave owner.

00:03:49.320 Was George Washington a slave owner?

00:03:51.680 So, will George Washington now lose his status?

00:03:54.740 Are we going to take down, excuse me, are we going to take down, are we going to take down statues to George Washington?

00:04:01.280 How about Thomas Jefferson?

00:04:03.040 What do you think of Thomas Jefferson?

00:04:04.500 You like him?

00:04:05.680 Okay, good.

00:04:06.580 Are we going to take down the statue?

00:04:08.060 Because he was a major slave owner. 0.74

00:04:09.920 Now, are we going to take down his statue?

00:04:12.020 So, you know what?

00:04:13.080 It's fine.

00:04:13.960 You're changing history.

00:04:15.200 You're changing culture.

00:04:17.260 Are we going to take down statues of Washington and Jefferson?

00:04:21.100 People said, oh, what are you talking about?

00:04:22.940 We're only taking down statues of Confederates.

00:04:25.440 We're only taking down Robert E. Lee.

00:04:27.300 He's a bad guy.

00:04:28.660 Jefferson, well, he had problems, but we're not, don't worry, we're not going to take him down.

00:04:32.460 Except now, less than two years later, that's exactly what's happening.

00:04:37.500 Right now at Hofstra University, last Friday, a group of students hosted an event titled,

00:04:43.280 Jefferson Has Got to Go.

00:04:45.040 These students have previously already defaced this Jefferson statue at Hofstra.

00:04:50.040 They wrote Decolonize on it.

00:04:52.280 They wrote Black Lives Matter on it.

00:04:54.080 They wrote all this other stuff on it.

00:04:55.900 Who are the organizers of this event?

00:04:58.400 Hofstra students.

00:05:00.500 Planned Parenthood, for some reason.

00:05:02.420 Couldn't tell you why.

00:05:03.100 And then local community members.

00:05:05.120 And there is a real irony here, by the way, that Planned Parenthood is hosting an event to take down a Jefferson statue because it's not nice to black people.

00:05:13.200 Thomas Jefferson enslaved black people.

00:05:16.260 That is true.

00:05:17.420 Planned Parenthood kills black people, slaughters them en masse.

00:05:20.200 Black women get abortions at more than three times the rate of white women. 0.98

00:05:26.040 More babies in New York City are aborted than born.

00:05:29.920 And Planned Parenthood has the temerity to go to an event and say,

00:05:33.400 We need to tear down our history because it's not nice to black people. 1.00

00:05:37.980 Because this man owned slaves.

00:05:40.700 You kill black people. 1.00

00:05:42.440 In New York, more black people killed than born.

00:05:47.020 Neither here nor there.

00:05:48.340 The Hofstra College Democrats also want the statue gone.

00:05:52.300 It's not just at Hofstra.

00:05:53.580 Students at GW University now want to get rid of George Washington.

00:05:57.680 For those of you who don't know, GW University stands for George Washington University.

00:06:03.100 And they want to get rid of their namesake and their mascot.

00:06:07.280 This is the majority of students here.

00:06:09.140 There was a vote that was conducted.

00:06:12.020 Fifty-four percent of students at GW want to get rid of George Washington.

00:06:16.420 How about George Washington High School in Northern California?

00:06:19.800 They now want to paint over, they want to get rid of a mural that depicts George Washington.

00:06:25.520 And the way they did it is so insidious.

00:06:28.820 It's just that creeping, tyrannical leftism that seems like it's nice and orderly.

00:06:34.880 So they mask all of their totally destructive instincts with this sort of orderliness of bureaucracy and meetings.

00:06:42.780 They didn't just take a sledgehammer to it, no.

00:06:45.340 They formed a working group.

00:06:47.940 Oh, it's a working group.

00:06:49.240 There's a committee.

00:06:50.180 The committee's going to meet.

00:06:51.380 And then they're going to decide to take a wrecking ball to a work of art and a piece of history.

00:06:56.180 The working group decided that a mural of George Washington, the founder and father of our country,

00:07:02.660 at a high school called George Washington High School, quote,

00:07:06.400 traumatizes students and community members.

00:07:11.100 It doesn't just offend them.

00:07:12.700 It traumatizes them.

00:07:14.140 This is what we have been seeing increasingly for years now.

00:07:17.940 What I see at these universities when I go and give speeches there, they are conflating speech with violence.

00:07:26.460 So it's this work of art, this work of history, is not simply offensive.

00:07:31.840 It's not simply unpleasant.

00:07:33.880 It's not simply unappreciated.

00:07:35.400 No.

00:07:36.020 It is traumatizing, which is to say it is committing an act of violence that has physical repercussions on students.

00:07:42.940 And so, if the school is going to protect the students' safety, their physical well-being,

00:07:49.480 then they have to paint over the artwork.

00:07:51.960 Very clever strategy.

00:07:54.760 Because what the school should say is,

00:07:56.760 we're not going to erase art and history because you don't like it.

00:08:01.560 Because some mob is demanding it.

00:08:04.540 Because what is happening in reality?

00:08:06.160 A mob is demanding that we burn books, burn history, burn artwork, burn paintings.

00:08:12.900 That's what the, a mob is doing that. 0.99

00:08:14.780 But the way the left organizes it is they say it's not a mob.

00:08:17.860 It's a working group.

00:08:20.320 And we're not destroying art because it offends us.

00:08:24.540 We're destroying art because it traumatizes us.

00:08:27.660 It committed violence on us.

00:08:29.700 So we now will commit violence on it.

00:08:32.460 That the district spokesman, so the spokesman for the administration of the school district said,

00:08:38.380 At its conclusion, the group voted and the majority recommended

00:08:42.920 that the Life of Washington mural be archived and removed

00:08:46.660 because the mural does not represent the school district's values.

00:08:54.060 Then what values does the school district hold?

00:08:57.680 Because George Washington, the father of our country,

00:09:01.200 created the greatest country in the history of the world.

00:09:06.280 A country premised on the idea that all men are created equal,

00:09:08.620 that we're endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights,

00:09:11.280 among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:09:14.560 That, that man and what that man established and presided over and fought for and won

00:09:21.240 has led to the most just, most equitable, most prosperous,

00:09:25.400 most charitable country in the history of the world ever at any time.

00:09:30.220 Certainly now, by orders of magnitude.

00:09:34.840 If the school district doesn't stand for that, what do they stand for?

00:09:38.100 What are their principles?

00:09:39.760 They apparently oppose life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:09:42.820 They oppose charity.

00:09:44.100 They oppose justice.

00:09:44.980 They oppose equality.

00:09:46.340 They oppose, what do they, what do they stand for?

00:09:49.640 If we were to give this school district the benefit of the doubt,

00:09:52.920 it seems that they just don't know anything about history.

00:09:55.260 They don't know anything about George Washington.

00:09:56.900 They don't know anything about what George Washington stands for.

00:10:00.220 But that indictment is just as bad because they're a school district.

00:10:04.180 They are supposed to educate students, but they don't know anything themselves.

00:10:07.780 They don't know anything about history.

00:10:10.280 This is a real threat to the country.

00:10:14.360 And this threat has been building for a long time.

00:10:16.600 And Donald Trump is not the only guy who predicts things.

00:10:18.900 There was another prediction made by George Orwell in 1984 through the character of Winston,

00:10:25.160 which describes this time that we're living in perfectly.

00:10:29.760 He writes,

00:10:30.800 Every record has been destroyed or falsified.

00:10:34.340 Every book has been rewritten.

00:10:36.280 Every picture has been repainted.

00:10:38.060 Every statue and street building has been renamed.

00:10:40.660 Every date has been altered.

00:10:42.360 And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

00:10:46.920 History has stopped.

00:10:48.100 Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

00:10:56.180 That's what happens.

00:10:57.120 What happens when you get rid of history?

00:11:00.500 Because you might say,

00:11:01.400 Who cares?

00:11:01.800 It's a statue.

00:11:03.360 Oh, who cares?

00:11:04.160 It's a monument.

00:11:04.920 Oh, who cares?

00:11:06.300 It's some dates of some battles and some things that some guy wrote.

00:11:10.660 Without history,

00:11:11.940 there is only an endless present

00:11:14.480 in which the party is always right.

00:11:17.040 If you're not going to be guided by history,

00:11:20.720 you are going to be guided by something or somebody.

00:11:24.120 And in the absence of history,

00:11:26.980 in the absence of fact,

00:11:28.560 because when we talk about history,

00:11:29.820 we're talking about facts.

00:11:31.360 History and facts are the same thing.

00:11:34.100 Facts means something that's done,

00:11:36.180 something that's true.

00:11:38.080 The word fact comes from the verb to do.

00:11:41.700 So fact is something that's done in history.

00:11:44.260 But when you get rid of that,

00:11:46.060 what are you guided by?

00:11:47.540 Ideology.

00:11:48.320 And who wields ideology like a weapon?

00:11:51.020 Ideologues,

00:11:51.700 totalitarians,

00:11:52.780 activists,

00:11:53.840 politicians.

00:11:54.840 The party is always right.

00:11:57.260 Totalitarians hate history.

00:11:59.660 This is why all of the most famous totalitarian regimes in history

00:12:03.240 have immediately erased their own history.

00:12:07.040 Stalin did this.

00:12:07.900 Stalin actually took people out of photographs

00:12:10.880 after he purged them,

00:12:12.380 after he liquidated them,

00:12:13.560 after they became politically incorrect to his party.

00:12:17.220 How about in China?

00:12:18.020 They had the great leap forward,

00:12:19.920 the cultural revolution, right?

00:12:21.680 They got rid of all of their history.

00:12:23.740 They tried to deny all of their history

00:12:25.240 and just innovate from the very beginning,

00:12:27.280 create the whole world anew,

00:12:28.680 a terrible idea.

00:12:31.300 They always want to erase history.

00:12:33.860 Why?

00:12:34.100 Because history gives us context.

00:12:37.320 History puts all of their schemes in a historical context.

00:12:41.880 When AOC,

00:12:43.880 this poor,

00:12:46.720 empty-headed legislator,

00:12:48.740 29-year-old bartender,

00:12:50.200 comes up and says,

00:12:50.960 hey,

00:12:51.400 I've got a plan

00:12:52.420 that will completely upend

00:12:54.920 the entire American economy and political system

00:12:57.140 that will cost $93 trillion,

00:12:59.460 that will get rid of most of your private property rights,

00:13:01.840 that will get rid of your homes, 1.00

00:13:03.020 that will get rid of all of your political rights.

00:13:05.700 How about that?

00:13:06.280 Is that a good idea?

00:13:07.380 I'm promising you the world,

00:13:08.680 everything,

00:13:09.040 it'll be better.

00:13:09.540 It's going to save the whole planet.

00:13:10.880 If you don't know history,

00:13:13.340 you might actually find that compelling.

00:13:15.440 If you do know history,

00:13:16.740 you'll say,

00:13:17.200 hmm,

00:13:17.660 every time these exact ideas have ever been tried,

00:13:20.940 they've led to widespread misery.

00:13:24.200 Famine,

00:13:25.760 murder,

00:13:27.160 slaughter,

00:13:28.820 poverty,

00:13:29.660 misery.

00:13:30.600 But they want to get rid of history so that we don't impede their schemes.

00:13:36.760 History also gives us something to cherish.

00:13:39.680 So these are two totally opposite ideas when we look at history.

00:13:45.480 I gave a speech at Notre Dame about Christopher Columbus and how Columbus was actually quite a good guy.

00:13:53.540 And these students who were protesting,

00:13:55.460 they came up and they said,

00:13:56.580 how could you say that Columbus is a good guy?

00:13:59.020 He's terrible.

00:13:59.660 Everything about him is awful.

00:14:00.760 Everything he ever did was awful.

00:14:01.820 Everything he led to was awful.

00:14:03.740 And then I started recounting all of the good things Columbus led to.

00:14:06.620 First of all,

00:14:06.940 he led to our country.

00:14:08.400 He created the Latino race. 1.00

00:14:11.120 He literally created a race of people.

00:14:13.800 He spread Christianity throughout the world.

00:14:17.200 He gave us what we have.

00:14:19.460 It's something to cherish.

00:14:20.780 Some people look on history and they cherish that tradition that they have.

00:14:24.520 Others look on it and they despise it.

00:14:26.380 They hate it.

00:14:27.000 They stand on the shoulders of giants.

00:14:29.320 They think that they're flying and they spit on the people who have led them to where they are.

00:14:33.760 The issue basically boils down to the same reason why we respect our elders.

00:14:39.900 Why should we respect history?

00:14:41.300 It's the same reason we respect our elders.

00:14:44.440 First of all,

00:14:45.120 why do you respect your elders?

00:14:46.380 Should you?

00:14:47.140 I think these days we're taught not to respect our elders.

00:14:49.760 We're taught to talk back to our elders or to dismiss them or to despise our elders.

00:14:54.240 Coincidentally,

00:14:56.180 at the same time,

00:14:56.780 we're taught to hate our history,

00:14:57.940 despise our history.

00:14:59.320 You know,

00:14:59.620 those are just our elders in a,

00:15:01.280 in a whole higher order of magnitude.

00:15:04.320 They're just our elders much further back.

00:15:06.820 Why should you respect your elders?

00:15:08.620 In part,

00:15:09.680 humility.

00:15:11.240 Because it's the classic whiny,

00:15:13.440 angsty teenager.

00:15:14.340 I hate my parents.

00:15:15.320 My parents are terrible.

00:15:16.340 They're so dumb and wrong and awful.

00:15:18.500 I hate them.

00:15:19.280 But I'm really great.

00:15:20.540 There's nothing wrong about me,

00:15:21.760 right?

00:15:21.960 No.

00:15:22.340 You in part respect your elders because it shows you a little bit of humility.

00:15:27.620 You are just as flawed as you are convinced that they are.

00:15:30.980 In part,

00:15:31.460 it's gratitude.

00:15:33.080 Because no matter how flawed your elders are,

00:15:36.260 you're here because of them.

00:15:38.840 In the case of your parents,

00:15:40.340 literally their love is the reason why you exist.

00:15:43.100 And in the case of your elders broadly,

00:15:45.500 you are here in this society,

00:15:47.460 in this civilization,

00:15:48.400 because of their work,

00:15:49.560 because of what they have done.

00:15:50.800 Also,

00:15:52.320 because to respect your elders

00:15:54.040 is to respect yourself.

00:15:56.880 We are not just isolated atoms floating in the middle of nowhere.

00:16:01.020 We don't just pop into existence in the middle of the air

00:16:03.680 and fall down and say,

00:16:05.260 okay,

00:16:05.520 I guess here I am,

00:16:06.740 all myself,

00:16:07.580 an island unto myself.

00:16:08.680 No.

00:16:08.880 We are part of a tradition.

00:16:12.260 We come from somewhere.

00:16:13.760 We come from a culture.

00:16:15.260 That culture forms us.

00:16:16.620 As much as we form the culture,

00:16:18.160 the culture forms us.

00:16:19.880 Actually,

00:16:20.320 the culture forms us much more than we form the culture.

00:16:24.440 And so,

00:16:25.160 those traditions that we despise,

00:16:28.660 that we hate,

00:16:29.400 that we disrespect,

00:16:30.320 to disrespect those things

00:16:32.600 is to disrespect ourselves.

00:16:35.100 Because they form us.

00:16:36.360 They make up our character.

00:16:37.880 We are connected to the past.

00:16:40.120 But these days,

00:16:41.160 we're taught to hate ourselves.

00:16:43.200 That's what the whole culture tells us to do.

00:16:45.740 Americans are the worst. 1.00

00:16:46.960 Americans are awful. 1.00

00:16:48.020 Especially,

00:16:48.520 don't get me started on straight white men.

00:16:50.460 Don't get me started on straight white men 0.65

00:16:52.100 who think that they're men.

00:16:53.660 Oh,

00:16:53.900 if you're one of those guys,

00:16:54.900 you have to hate, 0.84

00:16:55.540 you have to despise yourself.

00:16:56.940 You have to shut up,

00:16:57.880 never open your mouth,

00:16:59.400 never express an opinion.

00:17:01.240 Just,

00:17:01.540 just sit there and feel really bad

00:17:03.040 about how awful you are.

00:17:04.940 But it's not just

00:17:05.700 straight white men 0.53

00:17:06.480 who think that they're men.

00:17:08.280 Everybody has to check their privilege.

00:17:10.740 Because you have some sort of privilege

00:17:12.300 that's all,

00:17:12.820 you've got to hate yourself.

00:17:15.600 Now,

00:17:16.040 if you hate yourself,

00:17:17.440 you're going to hate your past.

00:17:20.200 Because if we're so bad,

00:17:21.640 then surely those awful people

00:17:23.540 in the bad olden days,

00:17:25.100 they're even worse,

00:17:25.760 aren't they?

00:17:26.120 If we enlightened modern people

00:17:28.080 are so bad,

00:17:28.860 they were terrible.

00:17:29.820 We're taught

00:17:30.240 that our culture

00:17:31.120 is hopelessly bigoted.

00:17:33.840 So,

00:17:34.200 obviously,

00:17:34.840 anybody who lived

00:17:35.520 even five seconds ago

00:17:36.580 is hopelessly bigoted.

00:17:37.780 We are now told

00:17:38.720 that the opinion

00:17:40.160 that Barack Obama

00:17:41.000 had on gay marriage

00:17:42.120 for his entire political career

00:17:44.300 up until seven years ago

00:17:45.620 is an example

00:17:47.240 of pure malicious bigotry.

00:17:50.720 Because he thought

00:17:51.680 that marriage 0.65

00:17:52.280 is an institution

00:17:53.520 between men and women.

00:17:54.560 husbands and wives. 0.55

00:17:58.280 Because he thought that,

00:17:59.740 that opinion

00:18:00.260 is hopelessly bigoted.

00:18:01.460 That was the opinion

00:18:02.120 that everybody held

00:18:03.000 as recently as seven years ago.

00:18:06.240 But radicals hate history.

00:18:07.880 And you notice

00:18:08.320 it speeds up.

00:18:10.100 So now,

00:18:11.100 we're changing history

00:18:12.460 much more quickly.

00:18:14.700 Once you start

00:18:15.640 to get rid of

00:18:16.480 Robert E. Lee,

00:18:17.560 it's not like

00:18:18.820 you get rid of

00:18:19.380 the Robert E. Lee statues

00:18:20.400 and then 60 years later,

00:18:21.980 you start to get rid

00:18:22.880 of the Thomas Jefferson statues.

00:18:24.460 No.

00:18:24.960 Once you grant the premise,

00:18:27.420 then it doesn't

00:18:28.500 proceed gradually.

00:18:29.520 It proceeds exponentially.

00:18:31.340 Because that's the logic.

00:18:32.360 If we're going to

00:18:32.820 erase our history,

00:18:33.860 if we're going to

00:18:34.460 erase our art,

00:18:35.560 if anything bad

00:18:36.660 that ever happened

00:18:37.460 in the past

00:18:38.140 is not just unfortunate,

00:18:40.260 but traumatizing,

00:18:41.600 it's literally

00:18:42.340 harming physically

00:18:43.860 people right now,

00:18:45.420 you've got to get rid

00:18:46.120 of all of it.

00:18:47.620 You've got to get rid

00:18:48.880 of Barack Obama's

00:18:49.880 speeches from 2011

00:18:51.040 when he talked

00:18:52.060 about marriage.

00:18:52.960 You can't have those.

00:18:53.720 Those are traumatizing.

00:18:55.180 You can't have a statue

00:18:56.300 of Barack Obama.

00:18:57.260 It's traumatizing.

00:19:01.340 Ultimately,

00:19:02.040 you're going to get rid

00:19:02.720 of even the recent past.

00:19:04.320 You're going to get rid

00:19:04.840 of five minutes ago.

00:19:05.800 All that's going to exist

00:19:07.000 is the eternal present

00:19:08.540 in which the party

00:19:10.120 is always right.

00:19:14.280 History shows

00:19:15.140 that those utopian schemes

00:19:16.440 are going to fail.

00:19:17.480 Shows us that men

00:19:18.400 are not perfect.

00:19:19.340 They're never going

00:19:19.720 to be perfect.

00:19:20.580 Shows us that the world

00:19:21.460 is complicated.

00:19:22.280 You can't spell it all out

00:19:23.360 in some doctrine,

00:19:24.460 in some manifesto.

00:19:27.380 So we've got to get rid of it.

00:19:29.020 And the party

00:19:29.580 will always be right.

00:19:30.440 But we're not just

00:19:30.940 killing off our past.

00:19:32.000 We are also

00:19:32.860 killing off our future.

00:19:34.300 And at least,

00:19:35.040 you've got to give him credit,

00:19:36.460 there's one

00:19:37.260 state legislator

00:19:39.020 in Alabama,

00:19:39.720 a guy named John Rogers,

00:19:40.980 who is at least

00:19:42.060 being honest

00:19:43.560 about why Democrats

00:19:45.220 want to kill babies. 0.67

00:19:46.740 All I'm saying to you,

00:19:48.060 it ought to be

00:19:48.460 a woman's choice. 1.00

00:19:50.780 I'm not about to be

00:19:52.000 as a male

00:19:52.580 to tell a woman 1.00

00:19:53.380 what to do with her body.

00:19:56.840 She has a right

00:19:57.760 to make that decision

00:19:58.480 herself.

00:20:00.320 To rape their headset. 0.85

00:20:04.020 Some kids

00:20:04.800 are unwarned.

00:20:06.580 So you kill them now,

00:20:07.660 I kill them later.

00:20:09.400 You bring them in the world

00:20:10.620 unwarned,

00:20:11.360 unloved,

00:20:13.020 then you send them

00:20:13.420 to the lecture chair.

00:20:14.720 So you kill them now,

00:20:15.700 I kill them later.

00:20:16.320 But the bottom line

00:20:19.460 is that

00:20:20.080 I think

00:20:20.900 we should be

00:20:21.580 making this decision.

00:20:23.060 Kill them now

00:20:24.100 or kill them later. 0.52

00:20:26.920 I love this clip.

00:20:28.980 I kind of like this guy.

00:20:30.720 If you can't see him,

00:20:31.620 he's wearing

00:20:31.980 this baby blue suit.

00:20:33.420 He's got this really

00:20:34.120 thick Alabama accent.

00:20:35.560 And at least he's honest.

00:20:37.440 He's wrong,

00:20:38.280 but he's honest.

00:20:39.060 He's admitting

00:20:39.980 a true premise,

00:20:42.420 which is that

00:20:42.900 abortion is 0.64

00:20:43.860 killing a baby.

00:20:44.560 He's admitting that.

00:20:45.640 He's saying,

00:20:46.000 no, we're not just

00:20:46.560 performing some procedure.

00:20:48.040 We're not just removing

00:20:49.040 the pancreas or something.

00:20:51.200 We are going in

00:20:52.120 and killing a human being.

00:20:53.960 He's admitting

00:20:54.580 that a baby is a person.

00:20:56.400 He's admitting

00:20:57.000 that we're killing

00:20:57.700 these babies selfishly.

00:21:00.340 You say,

00:21:00.880 yeah, we're going to have

00:21:01.600 to kill them eventually,

00:21:02.400 aren't we?

00:21:02.800 Because they're going to be bad.

00:21:03.700 They're going to be

00:21:04.020 inconvenient for us.

00:21:04.800 They're going to commit crimes.

00:21:05.700 So we've got to kill them now.

00:21:07.400 Then we're going to save

00:21:08.480 ourselves a whole lot of headache.

00:21:09.840 Now what he's wrong about

00:21:10.920 is he's assuming

00:21:12.020 that unwanted babies 0.90

00:21:13.460 are going to become criminals

00:21:15.020 and we're going to

00:21:16.020 have to kill them, 0.94

00:21:16.900 send them to the electric chair. 0.81

00:21:18.280 This is wrong

00:21:18.920 for a number of reasons.

00:21:19.820 One, there's no evidence

00:21:20.840 that babies given up

00:21:22.760 for adoption

00:21:23.340 or babies raised

00:21:25.060 by single parents

00:21:26.080 or babies raised

00:21:27.900 who are not wanted

00:21:29.680 or not loved

00:21:30.520 inevitably become criminals

00:21:33.740 and such awful criminals

00:21:35.200 that they receive

00:21:36.220 capital punishment.

00:21:37.600 There's no,

00:21:38.060 I mean,

00:21:38.320 he's pulling that

00:21:39.120 completely out of thin air.

00:21:40.280 This is an argument

00:21:41.480 that the left

00:21:42.140 tried to make for a while

00:21:43.400 like that Freakonomics book.

00:21:45.380 He said,

00:21:45.660 oh yes,

00:21:46.000 the reason crime rates

00:21:46.880 have declined

00:21:47.400 is because Roe v. Wade

00:21:48.920 legalized abortion

00:21:49.940 and so we're killing

00:21:51.080 all the bad kids

00:21:51.920 who are certainly

00:21:52.520 going to become criminals.

00:21:54.040 This has been

00:21:54.860 roundly debunked

00:21:57.080 and people no longer

00:21:58.480 seriously make that argument.

00:22:00.780 But it's a weak argument

00:22:02.260 anyway.

00:22:03.520 It's a weak,

00:22:03.840 first of all,

00:22:04.300 it's not an argument

00:22:04.960 to kill babies

00:22:05.940 before they've committed a crime.

00:22:07.300 I mean,

00:22:07.440 I guess that's the premise

00:22:08.260 he's trying to make.

00:22:09.320 It's a weak argument

00:22:10.220 because in the United States

00:22:11.140 we kill very few criminals anyway

00:22:12.840 so you're not going

00:22:13.580 to kill them later

00:22:14.280 and it's a highly immoral argument

00:22:17.240 because if that's the argument,

00:22:21.780 if you are just saying,

00:22:23.300 look,

00:22:23.500 unwanted unborn babies 1.00

00:22:25.040 are likely

00:22:26.260 to commit crimes,

00:22:28.360 let's grant that premise.

00:22:32.660 Therefore,

00:22:33.420 we should kill them.

00:22:34.680 Then this is obviously true

00:22:35.960 of any demographic group

00:22:37.600 that is likely

00:22:38.280 to commit crimes.

00:22:40.680 Young black men

00:22:41.920 in certain geographic areas

00:22:44.160 are very likely

00:22:45.100 to commit crimes.

00:22:46.800 Statistically more likely

00:22:47.840 than other demographic groups.

00:22:49.900 Is this guy arguing

00:22:51.580 that we should kill them now

00:22:52.740 because they're likely

00:22:54.560 to commit crimes?

00:22:55.660 That's a heinous argument.

00:22:57.240 But that is

00:22:58.500 the logical conclusion

00:22:59.740 of the argument

00:23:00.260 that he's making.

00:23:01.420 And then he admits,

00:23:02.280 by the way,

00:23:02.940 that it's not really

00:23:03.820 about crime.

00:23:05.060 Then he admits

00:23:05.920 it's not really about

00:23:07.060 we're going to have

00:23:07.380 to kill them later.

00:23:07.980 What he admits is,

00:23:08.860 I just don't want

00:23:09.460 these babies.

00:23:10.060 They're inconvenient.

00:23:10.960 Here he is.

00:23:12.100 The child will be

00:23:13.380 retarded, 1.00

00:23:15.460 head deformed,

00:23:18.540 head deformed.

00:23:20.280 It's hard to hear.

00:23:21.380 It's not,

00:23:21.780 that microphone

00:23:22.840 was not as good there.

00:23:23.900 What he's saying is

00:23:24.680 the child could be

00:23:25.540 born retarded, 0.86

00:23:27.000 the child could be

00:23:27.780 born half deformed,

00:23:29.560 therefore we've

00:23:30.140 got to kill him.

00:23:31.700 So retarded people 1.00

00:23:32.620 have apparently

00:23:33.600 no right

00:23:34.560 not to be murdered.

00:23:35.320 People who are deformed, 1.00

00:23:36.960 maybe the kid's

00:23:37.500 missing a few fingers.

00:23:38.680 Kill him.

00:23:39.740 Who wants a kid

00:23:40.600 who doesn't have

00:23:41.040 a few fingers?

00:23:42.160 Oh, could you imagine

00:23:43.260 anything worse

00:23:43.960 than not having

00:23:44.520 a couple of fingers?

00:23:45.880 Kill him.

00:23:46.780 That is the disregard

00:23:47.860 for human life

00:23:48.780 that we're talking about.

00:23:50.820 And I really like

00:23:51.840 that he's making

00:23:52.300 this argument

00:23:52.920 because

00:23:53.920 he's allowing

00:23:56.280 the ethical

00:23:57.220 and moral argument

00:23:58.040 to take place

00:23:58.880 in a way

00:24:00.100 where we recognize

00:24:01.000 the humanity

00:24:01.560 of the baby.

00:24:02.120 He's allowing us

00:24:04.840 to say,

00:24:05.360 okay,

00:24:05.720 if by your logic

00:24:06.740 we need to kill people

00:24:07.700 before they commit crimes,

00:24:09.480 why shouldn't we kill

00:24:10.640 any adult

00:24:12.320 demographic group

00:24:13.500 based on race,

00:24:14.660 based on sex,

00:24:15.720 based on age?

00:24:17.600 Why shouldn't we do that?

00:24:18.360 Oh, because it's not

00:24:19.120 legitimate to kill people

00:24:20.020 before they commit a crime.

00:24:20.960 Okay.

00:24:21.960 Well,

00:24:22.680 but then his argument is,

00:24:24.340 well,

00:24:24.600 the kid's retarded. 0.99

00:24:25.560 Okay,

00:24:25.800 so if we can kill people

00:24:26.760 because they're not smart enough,

00:24:28.020 where's the cutoff?

00:24:28.620 Maybe an 90 IQ,

00:24:32.200 95 IQ,

00:24:33.160 we'd have to kill off

00:24:33.960 basically all of the U.S. Congress.

00:24:36.640 Dan Crenshaw probably

00:24:37.560 could still live.

00:24:38.620 Dan Crenshaw would be

00:24:39.280 the last remaining congressman.

00:24:41.380 Everyone else

00:24:42.140 would be gone

00:24:42.780 by that measure.

00:24:44.360 Is that,

00:24:44.840 is that what we're going to do?

00:24:46.320 Deformed. 0.77

00:24:47.100 Someone's,

00:24:47.500 how about if someone's ugly?

00:24:48.720 Someone's a little fat,

00:24:50.200 you know,

00:24:50.540 they've got some pockmarks

00:24:51.640 on their face or something.

00:24:52.680 We'll kill them, right?

00:24:55.180 They're deformed. 0.73

00:24:56.240 Nobody wants a deformed person. 0.97

00:24:57.620 How ugly.

00:24:58.620 Either

00:25:00.340 human dignity,

00:25:03.580 human worth

00:25:04.200 comes from

00:25:05.340 some superficial characteristic

00:25:07.140 like IQ

00:25:08.480 or

00:25:09.400 how you look

00:25:10.520 or how many fingers you've got

00:25:11.740 or

00:25:13.260 how much your parent loves you

00:25:15.560 or

00:25:17.020 how well you're going to be raised

00:25:18.840 or the likelihood

00:25:19.840 because of your circumstances

00:25:22.040 that you're going to be

00:25:23.020 in situations

00:25:23.780 where you might commit more crime.

00:25:25.480 Either it's from that

00:25:26.480 or it's intrinsic.

00:25:27.180 Human beings

00:25:28.640 have intrinsic value.

00:25:32.480 Those are the two options.

00:25:34.640 That's the logic of abortion. 0.97

00:25:36.100 Speaking of little children,

00:25:37.380 a bunch of academics now

00:25:38.540 want to

00:25:39.480 normalize pedophilia.

00:25:40.840 We'll get to that in a second.

00:25:41.700 We'll also get to

00:25:42.480 the mailbag.

00:25:43.460 But first,

00:25:43.860 I've got to say goodbye

00:25:44.440 to Facebook and YouTube.

00:25:46.040 So if you're on Facebook and YouTube,

00:25:48.240 go over to dailywire.com.

00:25:49.260 Ten bucks a month,

00:25:49.840 $100 for an annual membership.

00:25:51.180 You get me.

00:25:51.920 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:25:53.000 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:25:54.140 You get to ask questions in the mailbag.

00:25:55.560 You get the Matt Wolfe show.

00:25:56.820 You get to ask questions backstage.

00:25:58.880 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:26:00.340 Where is my Leftist Tears Tumblr?

00:26:02.360 Oh my gosh.

00:26:03.980 I don't have a Leftist Tears Tumblr

00:26:05.360 on my desk right now.

00:26:07.620 If those doors to the studio open up,

00:26:10.680 I very likely will drown.

00:26:12.080 This could be my last show.

00:26:13.520 Don't be like me.

00:26:14.440 Go get your Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:26:15.520 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:26:16.500 All right.

00:26:27.900 We've reached the end of society.

00:26:29.620 I guess it's all over.

00:26:30.680 We had a good run.

00:26:31.720 We lasted for, I don't know,

00:26:33.040 probably like five or 6,000 years.

00:26:34.420 Now it's over.

00:26:36.900 Academics in Britain

00:26:38.140 at a conference hosted

00:26:39.820 at Cambridge University,

00:26:40.840 one of the oldest

00:26:41.340 and best universities in the world,

00:26:43.400 have now reached

00:26:44.600 the logical conclusion

00:26:45.960 of the sexual revolution,

00:26:47.640 the normalization of pedophilia.

00:26:50.940 What they say

00:26:52.120 is that pedophilia

00:26:53.300 is normal and natural.

00:26:56.740 Quote,

00:26:57.320 Pedophilic interest

00:26:58.220 is natural and normal

00:26:59.380 for human males.

00:27:00.200 At least a sizable minority

00:27:02.420 of normal males

00:27:03.740 would like to have sex with children. 0.96

00:27:05.920 Normal males

00:27:06.720 are aroused by children.

00:27:09.820 This has been building

00:27:10.920 for a long time.

00:27:12.800 I think I've been predicting

00:27:13.680 this for years.

00:27:15.220 Other people have as well.

00:27:16.800 And everyone said,

00:27:17.360 oh, you're crazy.

00:27:18.020 It'll never happen.

00:27:18.960 No way.

00:27:19.380 They'll never tear down

00:27:20.140 statues of Washington.

00:27:21.420 No way.

00:27:22.160 They'll never normalize pedophilia.

00:27:24.060 Yes,

00:27:25.060 they are doing that.

00:27:26.220 And it doesn't take a genius,

00:27:27.720 by the way,

00:27:27.960 to predict these things.

00:27:29.080 All you have to do

00:27:30.120 is realize

00:27:31.040 what the premises

00:27:32.320 of the left are

00:27:33.480 and then use your mind

00:27:35.140 to follow them

00:27:35.800 to the logical conclusions.

00:27:37.820 So the premise of

00:27:38.880 we need to tear down history

00:27:39.940 that we don't like

00:27:40.660 or that we find offensive

00:27:41.980 or that was wrong or evil

00:27:43.700 leads necessarily

00:27:45.740 to tearing down

00:27:46.860 all of history.

00:27:48.800 The premise

00:27:49.760 that sex 0.95

00:27:51.280 is just some physical action

00:27:53.780 and that any desires

00:27:55.240 that we have

00:27:56.040 are not to be shunned

00:27:57.360 or shamed

00:27:57.880 or repressed

00:27:58.700 but are to be explored

00:28:00.020 and liberated

00:28:00.860 because there's no such thing

00:28:02.220 as normal.

00:28:02.820 There's no such thing

00:28:03.680 as wrong.

00:28:04.700 There's no such thing

00:28:05.440 as sinful sexual behavior.

00:28:07.020 The logical conclusion of that

00:28:08.340 is the normalization

00:28:09.500 of sex with children

00:28:11.040 and that's what

00:28:12.120 these people are doing.

00:28:13.600 So in 1981

00:28:14.620 there was a respected publisher,

00:28:18.360 Batsford,

00:28:18.940 published a piece called

00:28:20.760 Perspectives on Pedophilia

00:28:22.440 edited by a sociologist

00:28:23.920 named Brian Taylor

00:28:25.120 and what Brian Taylor did

00:28:27.420 was challenge the

00:28:28.380 quote prejudice

00:28:29.060 against sex with children.

00:28:31.560 Now there is a prejudice

00:28:32.820 against pedophilia.

00:28:34.800 That's true.

00:28:36.080 I think it's a pretty good prejudice.

00:28:37.320 It is true.

00:28:38.560 Our society has this pre-judgment.

00:28:40.160 We say sex with children is bad.

00:28:42.880 I think this is

00:28:43.500 exhibit A,

00:28:44.720 evidence number one

00:28:45.700 that some prejudices

00:28:46.780 are a very good thing.

00:28:48.460 Then in 1991

00:28:49.420 a professor wrote on his blog

00:28:51.420 this was recently republished

00:28:52.640 though in 2012

00:28:53.240 quote

00:28:53.820 Many adult pedophiles

00:28:56.000 say that boys

00:28:56.660 actively seek out

00:28:57.840 sex partners.

00:28:58.980 Childhood itself

00:28:59.980 is not a biological given

00:29:01.820 but an historically produced

00:29:03.520 social object.

00:29:05.040 You see the language

00:29:06.060 of all of modern academics

00:29:07.800 all of this relativistic

00:29:09.720 academic culture.

00:29:11.460 Childhood

00:29:12.020 doesn't even really exist.

00:29:14.460 It's just a social construction.

00:29:17.420 Male and female

00:29:18.420 they don't really exist.

00:29:19.640 They're just social constructions.

00:29:21.180 Everything's everything.

00:29:22.620 You know man

00:29:23.300 and nothing's really

00:29:24.160 itself

00:29:24.800 and nothing's categorically

00:29:26.080 distinct

00:29:26.540 and

00:29:26.760 you know

00:29:29.600 and like we're all just

00:29:30.300 part of the universe man.

00:29:31.480 That's the logical conclusion

00:29:32.580 of that idea.

00:29:35.420 Debates are now being had

00:29:36.640 at the American

00:29:37.480 Psychological Association

00:29:38.660 over the DSM

00:29:40.140 over the book

00:29:41.180 of psychological disorders

00:29:43.320 over whether or not

00:29:44.500 to include

00:29:44.940 hebephilia

00:29:45.620 as a disorder.

00:29:47.040 I believe it is now

00:29:47.960 not included

00:29:48.700 as a disorder.

00:29:49.820 Hebephilia is 1.00

00:29:50.860 sexual attraction

00:29:52.380 to children

00:29:53.200 11 to 14.

00:29:54.960 Basically

00:29:55.400 after their little kids

00:29:56.520 but before their

00:29:57.300 post pubescent.

00:29:58.740 the sexual revolution

00:30:01.820 types have been saying

00:30:02.540 for a long time

00:30:03.240 that pedophilia

00:30:03.900 is normal

00:30:04.680 and natural.

00:30:07.260 Maybe he's right 0.81

00:30:08.300 in the sense that

00:30:09.200 it occurs

00:30:11.280 with some frequency.

00:30:12.880 You know

00:30:13.100 when the sexual revolution

00:30:14.600 left wing types

00:30:15.360 say oh yes

00:30:16.140 any kind of

00:30:17.020 bizarre sexual behavior

00:30:18.160 is normal

00:30:18.700 it's natural

00:30:19.240 it's no big deal.

00:30:20.140 Then you have the right wing

00:30:21.020 types who are saying

00:30:21.840 pedophilia is abnormal

00:30:24.260 it's unnatural

00:30:25.300 it's obviously

00:30:26.440 it can't be any of the things

00:30:28.380 that the sexual revolution

00:30:29.460 types are saying

00:30:30.520 that it is.

00:30:33.260 Maybe both views

00:30:34.300 miss the point.

00:30:36.040 Maybe this is the actual point.

00:30:37.660 Let's say

00:30:38.260 that pedophilia

00:30:39.380 is natural.

00:30:40.740 Let's say that people

00:30:41.420 are born this way.

00:30:42.400 This has been the argument

00:30:43.120 for all the sexual

00:30:43.920 liberation movements.

00:30:45.080 See we were born this way.

00:30:46.240 We were born with

00:30:46.780 certain desires

00:30:47.400 therefore we have

00:30:48.480 to fulfill them.

00:30:49.560 I am perfectly

00:30:51.220 fine

00:30:52.860 with the conclusion

00:30:54.140 that some people

00:30:55.100 are born naturally

00:30:56.340 with a desire

00:30:57.320 to have sex 0.89

00:30:57.900 with children.

00:30:59.360 It's still wrong.

00:31:01.420 But we're born this way

00:31:02.600 doesn't matter

00:31:03.220 it's still wrong.

00:31:04.440 It's wrong to do.

00:31:05.480 It's evil.

00:31:06.060 It's a wicked desire

00:31:06.880 that you have to repress

00:31:08.080 all the time.

00:31:10.040 Well let's say

00:31:11.100 let's say

00:31:11.840 that it's not just natural.

00:31:13.500 Let's say that pedophilia

00:31:14.560 as these academics

00:31:16.160 in Britain say

00:31:16.940 is natural

00:31:18.680 and normal.

00:31:20.360 So it's very easy

00:31:21.480 to imagine

00:31:21.980 at some point

00:31:22.620 in the future

00:31:23.120 that these guys

00:31:25.060 get their way

00:31:25.840 and pedophilia

00:31:27.920 is taken out

00:31:28.520 of the DSM

00:31:29.120 it's no longer

00:31:29.700 considered a disorder

00:31:30.940 it's a sexual orientation

00:31:32.420 it's something

00:31:32.860 you're born with

00:31:33.580 and let's say

00:31:34.780 lots of people

00:31:35.700 accept this

00:31:36.940 throughout society.

00:31:38.300 It becomes

00:31:39.200 totally normalized.

00:31:42.080 It's still wrong.

00:31:44.820 But

00:31:45.340 80% of people

00:31:46.780 say it's okay.

00:31:47.880 Right

00:31:48.040 80% of people

00:31:48.780 are wrong.

00:31:49.760 But

00:31:50.140 5% of people

00:31:51.440 are born with

00:31:52.040 this desire.

00:31:53.240 Right

00:31:53.540 the desire

00:31:54.100 is still wrong.

00:31:55.180 This is a really

00:31:56.160 tricky issue

00:31:57.040 for the sexual revolution

00:31:58.540 and I guess

00:31:59.100 for the left broadly

00:31:59.920 which has embraced

00:32:00.600 the sexual revolution

00:32:01.600 because

00:32:02.940 pedophilia

00:32:04.800 our natural

00:32:05.920 correct

00:32:06.700 revulsion

00:32:07.800 toward pedophilia

00:32:09.340 and pedophiles

00:32:10.200 shows us

00:32:12.400 that so many

00:32:12.980 premises of the

00:32:13.660 sexual revolution

00:32:14.340 are not true.

00:32:15.560 The idea

00:32:16.260 that exists now

00:32:17.440 I mean this is

00:32:17.880 I think the chief

00:32:18.480 moral maxim of our age

00:32:19.780 which is

00:32:20.400 if it feels good

00:32:21.260 do it

00:32:21.680 that's not

00:32:23.800 sufficient

00:32:24.240 that's not

00:32:24.840 true

00:32:25.260 that's not

00:32:25.720 right.

00:32:27.640 Certain

00:32:28.080 acts are wrong

00:32:29.460 certain ones

00:32:30.180 are right.

00:32:30.620 So now

00:32:30.820 the way that

00:32:31.500 the left

00:32:31.880 has gotten

00:32:32.240 around this

00:32:32.820 in recent years

00:32:33.560 is they've made

00:32:34.400 consent

00:32:35.060 the most important

00:32:36.060 thing.

00:32:36.780 You can do

00:32:37.120 anything you want

00:32:37.780 to anybody

00:32:38.320 but you need

00:32:39.200 consent.

00:32:40.460 You can smack

00:32:41.300 your sexual partner

00:32:42.140 around

00:32:42.680 you can punch

00:32:43.120 him in the face

00:32:43.720 you can put a

00:32:44.340 cigarette out

00:32:44.780 on his forehead

00:32:45.260 whatever

00:32:45.680 that's okay

00:32:46.280 as long as you

00:32:46.840 get consent.

00:32:49.900 And so

00:32:50.140 children can't 0.86

00:32:50.900 consent.

00:32:51.940 Okay

00:32:52.200 can a 14

00:32:52.800 year old

00:32:53.080 consent?

00:32:54.400 I feel that

00:32:55.100 when I was

00:32:55.420 14 I could

00:32:56.020 consent to

00:32:56.480 a lot of

00:32:56.800 things.

00:32:57.380 I was able

00:32:57.900 to consent

00:32:58.400 to go work.

00:32:59.440 I had working

00:33:00.080 papers at 14

00:33:00.820 I had a job.

00:33:01.820 How was I able

00:33:02.340 to work a job

00:33:03.020 if I couldn't

00:33:03.520 consent?

00:33:04.280 In that case

00:33:04.780 I was a slave.

00:33:06.040 Was I really

00:33:06.520 a slave?

00:33:07.120 Are teenagers

00:33:08.340 who work at

00:33:09.080 fast food places

00:33:10.000 slaves?

00:33:11.300 No.

00:33:12.780 In some way

00:33:13.400 they're consenting.

00:33:14.180 Consent is

00:33:14.840 insufficient.

00:33:16.960 This libertine 0.92

00:33:17.900 totally liberal

00:33:20.280 culture

00:33:20.760 of saying

00:33:21.820 well whatever

00:33:22.620 you want to

00:33:23.120 do is

00:33:23.560 you know

00:33:23.860 it's fine

00:33:24.300 just do

00:33:24.680 it as long

00:33:25.100 as you

00:33:25.260 have consent.

00:33:25.960 That's

00:33:26.420 insufficient.

00:33:28.500 Some things

00:33:29.280 are intrinsically

00:33:30.320 wrong.

00:33:31.160 No matter

00:33:31.600 who's born

00:33:32.120 that way

00:33:32.600 no matter

00:33:33.200 what people

00:33:33.800 think

00:33:34.160 no matter

00:33:34.760 how we

00:33:35.260 can bend

00:33:35.640 the definition

00:33:36.260 of consent.

00:33:37.760 It's just

00:33:38.740 wrong.

00:33:39.780 But if this

00:33:40.380 is wrong

00:33:40.840 then what

00:33:41.900 else is wrong?

00:33:42.920 What else

00:33:43.380 does the moral

00:33:43.900 order say

00:33:44.420 about our

00:33:44.760 behavior?

00:33:45.360 Not even

00:33:45.780 just our

00:33:46.120 sexual behavior

00:33:46.840 all of our

00:33:47.760 behavior.

00:33:48.520 That's a

00:33:49.300 difficult question

00:33:50.020 and ironically

00:33:50.740 as we've

00:33:51.520 gotten so

00:33:52.100 much worse

00:33:53.040 so much

00:33:53.640 less able

00:33:54.220 to have

00:33:54.720 moral discourse

00:33:55.440 we're seeing

00:33:56.120 the horrifying

00:33:56.660 conclusions of

00:33:57.500 that.

00:33:57.980 Perhaps that

00:33:58.480 will wake

00:33:58.880 people up

00:33:59.480 and say

00:33:59.900 gosh I've

00:34:00.700 gone down

00:34:01.040 a terribly

00:34:01.600 wrong road

00:34:02.180 here.

00:34:03.120 On my

00:34:03.420 trip to

00:34:03.860 progress

00:34:04.380 I've gone

00:34:04.920 down a

00:34:05.500 horrifically

00:34:06.200 wrong road

00:34:06.840 I've gone

00:34:07.640 to this

00:34:08.360 awful

00:34:08.880 conclusion

00:34:09.440 and as

00:34:10.460 C.S.

00:34:10.740 Lewis points

00:34:11.240 out

00:34:11.480 when you

00:34:11.960 realize

00:34:12.340 you're

00:34:12.500 going down

00:34:12.840 the wrong

00:34:13.200 road

00:34:13.520 the person

00:34:15.080 who turns

00:34:15.560 around and

00:34:16.100 starts going

00:34:16.600 in the other

00:34:16.980 direction

00:34:17.460 is the

00:34:18.560 progressive

00:34:19.080 he's the

00:34:19.660 he's the

00:34:20.160 one who is

00:34:20.480 actually

00:34:20.880 pursuing

00:34:21.560 progress.

00:34:23.000 We gotta get

00:34:23.660 to the mailbag.

00:34:24.400 First question

00:34:24.900 from Alyssa

00:34:25.560 not sweet

00:34:26.720 little Alyssa

00:34:27.600 but Alyssa

00:34:28.380 Hello Michael

00:34:29.720 why can't

00:34:30.860 governments

00:34:31.180 just print

00:34:31.720 more money?

00:34:32.660 Why do people

00:34:33.100 say it brings

00:34:33.700 down the value

00:34:34.400 of the dollar?

00:34:35.300 I've never

00:34:35.600 been explained

00:34:36.060 this and

00:34:36.420 everyone else

00:34:36.840 seems just

00:34:37.320 to understand

00:34:37.900 and so

00:34:38.420 I've always

00:34:38.740 been too

00:34:39.020 embarrassed

00:34:39.280 to ask

00:34:39.760 thanks Alyssa

00:34:40.440 well you're

00:34:42.280 looking at

00:34:42.660 Venezuela right 0.70

00:34:43.400 now I assume

00:34:44.020 to see why

00:34:44.760 you can't

00:34:45.220 print more

00:34:45.620 money.

00:34:45.880 Here's why

00:34:46.840 money refers

00:34:50.040 to value

00:34:50.840 money is a

00:34:52.020 symbol of

00:34:52.560 value

00:34:52.960 and what

00:34:54.400 is that

00:34:54.680 value?

00:34:55.140 That value

00:34:55.520 is goods

00:34:55.900 and services

00:34:56.460 it's the

00:34:56.860 production

00:34:57.240 of our

00:34:57.580 economy

00:34:58.000 so you've

00:34:59.720 got the

00:35:00.340 money supply

00:35:01.020 and you've

00:35:01.860 got the

00:35:02.220 real output

00:35:03.440 of our

00:35:03.980 economy

00:35:04.400 the goods

00:35:04.900 the services

00:35:05.480 the products

00:35:06.100 made

00:35:06.420 the things

00:35:06.820 built

00:35:07.220 the things

00:35:07.880 done

00:35:08.260 okay

00:35:08.780 the money

00:35:11.880 has to match

00:35:12.620 the output

00:35:13.200 so

00:35:14.560 let's say

00:35:16.480 your economy

00:35:16.880 is worth

00:35:17.280 $20 million

00:35:17.920 and that's

00:35:19.960 the output

00:35:20.720 that you're

00:35:21.140 putting in

00:35:21.620 and then

00:35:22.620 one day

00:35:23.380 the government

00:35:23.800 decides it

00:35:24.280 wants more

00:35:24.620 money

00:35:24.960 so it

00:35:25.700 starts to

00:35:26.640 double the

00:35:27.140 amount of

00:35:27.400 money it's

00:35:27.760 printing

00:35:28.040 now the

00:35:28.600 government

00:35:28.880 is printing

00:35:29.320 $40 million

00:35:30.000 but your

00:35:31.240 real output

00:35:32.080 is still

00:35:32.600 only $20

00:35:33.340 million

00:35:33.660 well

00:35:35.420 you've got

00:35:36.300 double the

00:35:37.000 money

00:35:37.260 but the

00:35:37.780 same amount

00:35:38.160 of goods

00:35:38.460 and services

00:35:39.040 so as people

00:35:39.860 go to buy

00:35:40.460 those goods

00:35:40.940 and services

00:35:41.520 everybody knows

00:35:42.900 you're printing

00:35:43.300 more money

00:35:43.780 eventually

00:35:44.280 people figure

00:35:45.360 out the

00:35:45.700 secret

00:35:46.000 and so

00:35:46.580 what happens

00:35:47.060 is the

00:35:47.360 prices of

00:35:47.940 those goods

00:35:48.300 and services

00:35:48.820 will double

00:35:49.720 gradually

00:35:51.200 but eventually

00:35:51.880 they will double

00:35:52.740 what that is

00:35:54.080 called is

00:35:54.380 inflation

00:35:54.820 you get

00:35:56.240 inflation

00:35:56.700 because you

00:35:57.540 can't trick

00:35:58.020 everybody

00:35:58.340 you can't

00:35:58.820 make something

00:35:59.260 out of

00:35:59.540 nothing

00:35:59.800 to quote

00:36:01.140 the great

00:36:01.940 philosopher

00:36:02.400 Billy Preston

00:36:03.440 nothing from

00:36:04.800 nothing leaves

00:36:05.260 nothing

00:36:05.540 so

00:36:06.960 these

00:36:08.340 ridiculous

00:36:09.460 tinpot

00:36:10.000 dictatorships

00:36:10.760 like Venezuela

00:36:11.440 in Latin

00:36:12.820 America

00:36:13.200 I think

00:36:13.480 that the

00:36:13.760 way

00:36:14.080 that they

00:36:14.800 can

00:36:15.200 make up

00:36:15.960 for all

00:36:16.400 of their

00:36:16.640 overspending

00:36:17.440 their economy

00:36:18.440 made a certain

00:36:18.960 output

00:36:19.340 and then

00:36:19.860 they're just

00:36:20.180 spending

00:36:20.560 and spending

00:36:21.100 and borrowing

00:36:21.700 and bribing

00:36:22.940 people

00:36:23.300 and doing

00:36:23.760 all of this

00:36:24.160 and eventually

00:36:24.960 when that

00:36:25.400 catches up

00:36:25.920 to them

00:36:26.260 and they

00:36:26.700 say the

00:36:26.960 bill

00:36:27.160 comes due

00:36:27.740 they just

00:36:29.200 start printing

00:36:29.660 more money

00:36:30.140 it's not

00:36:31.340 going to work

00:36:31.740 nobody cares

00:36:32.300 about the

00:36:32.660 paper

00:36:32.920 they care

00:36:33.460 about what

00:36:33.840 the paper

00:36:34.260 represents

00:36:35.080 and there's

00:36:35.600 no such

00:36:35.940 thing as

00:36:36.220 a free

00:36:36.480 lunch

00:36:36.780 from Evan

00:36:37.860 hey Michael

00:36:38.720 if my memory

00:36:39.620 serves me

00:36:40.100 correctly

00:36:40.480 when you

00:36:40.780 were younger

00:36:41.240 you were

00:36:41.780 an atheist

00:36:42.200 true

00:36:42.780 I am sort

00:36:43.980 of in the

00:36:44.280 same boat

00:36:44.580 as you

00:36:45.040 in that I

00:36:45.800 was an

00:36:46.060 atheist

00:36:46.320 and now

00:36:46.960 believe in

00:36:47.360 God

00:36:47.660 mainly due

00:36:48.280 to you

00:36:48.700 and the

00:36:48.940 influence

00:36:49.300 you've had

00:36:49.640 on me

00:36:49.940 it's nice

00:36:50.360 to hear

00:36:50.600 what drove

00:36:51.640 you to

00:36:52.000 believe in

00:36:52.420 God

00:36:52.700 and what

00:36:53.200 would you

00:36:53.500 recommend

00:36:53.860 to someone

00:36:54.320 who is

00:36:54.580 trying to

00:36:54.980 explore

00:36:55.380 faith

00:36:55.820 thank you

00:36:56.380 so much

00:36:56.780 for me

00:36:58.480 for me

00:36:58.500 it started

00:36:59.880 with the

00:37:00.600 arguments

00:37:01.120 for God

00:37:01.660 and

00:37:03.040 it started

00:37:04.640 with my

00:37:05.100 recognition

00:37:05.740 that

00:37:06.640 all the

00:37:07.560 people around

00:37:08.040 me

00:37:08.140 this was

00:37:08.420 during

00:37:08.620 college

00:37:08.940 all the

00:37:09.200 people around

00:37:09.620 me were

00:37:09.880 smart

00:37:10.240 and they

00:37:11.040 were all

00:37:11.300 atheists 1.00

00:37:11.820 but the

00:37:12.660 smartest

00:37:12.960 people

00:37:13.360 were not

00:37:13.760 atheists 1.00

00:37:14.280 the very

00:37:15.000 smartest

00:37:15.340 people

00:37:15.720 were

00:37:15.940 Christians

00:37:16.400 and

00:37:17.380 generally

00:37:17.880 they were

00:37:18.520 Catholics

00:37:19.420 or on the

00:37:19.940 road to

00:37:20.200 becoming

00:37:20.480 Catholics

00:37:21.000 or

00:37:21.760 Eastern

00:37:22.420 Orthodox

00:37:22.720 also

00:37:23.320 liturgical

00:37:24.420 traditional

00:37:25.060 with a

00:37:25.760 profound

00:37:26.540 body

00:37:27.980 of work

00:37:28.580 and

00:37:29.000 philosophy

00:37:29.560 and

00:37:30.180 obviously

00:37:31.600 natural law

00:37:32.400 and all of

00:37:32.920 these sorts

00:37:33.240 of things

00:37:33.580 so I

00:37:34.020 noticed

00:37:34.320 that

00:37:34.560 that

00:37:34.740 piqued

00:37:35.040 my

00:37:35.240 interest

00:37:35.640 then I

00:37:36.280 started

00:37:36.560 reading

00:37:36.880 C.S.

00:37:37.220 Lewis

00:37:37.400 or G.K.

00:37:37.960 Chesterton

00:37:38.360 started reading

00:37:39.140 the arguments

00:37:39.800 for God

00:37:40.320 the ontological

00:37:41.200 argument

00:37:41.700 that Alvin

00:37:42.460 Plantinga

00:37:43.020 formulates

00:37:43.600 the

00:37:44.400 I mean

00:37:45.620 Alvin

00:37:45.860 Plantinga

00:37:46.280 is the most

00:37:46.820 recent of

00:37:47.460 a zillion

00:37:48.020 people who

00:37:48.460 have formulated

00:37:48.960 and it

00:37:49.240 goes back

00:37:49.640 to

00:37:49.900 Saint

00:37:50.340 Anselm

00:37:50.700 of Canterbury

00:37:51.320 and the

00:37:52.360 Thomistic

00:37:52.960 arguments for

00:37:53.700 God

00:37:53.960 from Saint

00:37:54.360 Thomas

00:37:54.760 and

00:37:55.580 it

00:37:55.900 occurred

00:37:56.180 to me

00:37:56.580 eventually

00:37:57.060 that the

00:37:57.440 arguments

00:37:57.780 for God's

00:37:58.440 existence

00:37:58.860 were much

00:37:59.720 stronger

00:38:00.260 than the

00:38:00.780 arguments

00:38:01.120 against

00:38:01.580 God's

00:38:01.920 existence

00:38:02.340 now you'll

00:38:02.920 notice what

00:38:03.320 word has

00:38:04.000 been missing

00:38:04.400 throughout all

00:38:04.860 of this

00:38:05.180 is faith

00:38:06.100 for me it

00:38:06.940 was initially

00:38:07.900 almost entirely

00:38:09.120 intellectual

00:38:09.800 then the

00:38:11.980 experience and

00:38:12.740 practice of

00:38:13.280 faith happened

00:38:13.820 after

00:38:14.220 what I would

00:38:15.440 recommend

00:38:15.820 I didn't

00:38:16.560 really go to

00:38:17.100 church very

00:38:17.500 much

00:38:17.800 almost never

00:38:18.560 in college

00:38:19.140 and for

00:38:20.940 me the

00:38:21.320 reason for

00:38:21.760 that was

00:38:22.160 that I

00:38:22.360 was raised

00:38:22.860 in the

00:38:23.440 very liberal

00:38:24.300 post-Vatican

00:38:25.060 II Catholic

00:38:25.600 church where

00:38:26.480 it was all

00:38:26.860 these awful

00:38:27.520 insipid hymns

00:38:28.800 that were

00:38:29.460 like you

00:38:30.640 know bad

00:38:31.280 pop songs

00:38:32.180 with saccharine

00:38:33.540 lyrics and

00:38:34.840 it was all

00:38:35.660 just kind of

00:38:36.340 a show

00:38:36.800 it was just

00:38:37.960 you know the

00:38:38.400 priest would

00:38:38.860 say hey be a

00:38:39.640 good person

00:38:40.180 you know hey

00:38:41.220 I mean you

00:38:42.220 don't have to

00:38:42.580 really do

00:38:42.960 anything or

00:38:43.480 think anything

00:38:43.980 I don't know

00:38:44.300 if anything's

00:38:44.660 really that

00:38:44.980 true but be a

00:38:45.700 good person

00:38:46.220 I'm only

00:38:47.480 slightly

00:38:47.860 exaggerating

00:38:48.580 and then

00:38:49.660 you'd all

00:38:50.000 hug and

00:38:50.620 that's okay

00:38:51.100 and it was

00:38:51.360 really more

00:38:51.920 of like a

00:38:52.600 I don't know

00:38:54.220 therapy group

00:38:55.180 than real

00:38:57.120 worship

00:38:57.560 the purpose

00:38:58.900 of the

00:38:59.820 mass or

00:39:00.440 the purpose

00:39:00.800 of whatever

00:39:01.180 church you

00:39:01.600 go to

00:39:01.900 is not

00:39:02.800 to make

00:39:04.080 you feel

00:39:04.440 really good

00:39:04.820 about yourself

00:39:05.380 you were

00:39:05.960 there to

00:39:06.260 worship God

00:39:06.920 and you're

00:39:08.900 actually doing

00:39:09.600 something

00:39:10.040 and in

00:39:12.540 the churches

00:39:13.180 that recognize

00:39:13.860 the real

00:39:14.240 presence of

00:39:15.100 Christ in

00:39:15.880 the communion

00:39:16.320 you were

00:39:17.000 there to

00:39:17.420 literally

00:39:18.460 commune with

00:39:19.120 Christ

00:39:19.400 you were

00:39:19.720 really doing

00:39:20.300 something

00:39:20.640 it really

00:39:21.360 matters

00:39:21.840 this is why

00:39:22.700 I found

00:39:23.380 an old

00:39:24.500 mass

00:39:24.820 a latin

00:39:25.260 mass

00:39:25.580 or at least

00:39:26.640 a mass

00:39:26.900 with some

00:39:27.260 latin

00:39:27.680 and I

00:39:28.340 thought oh

00:39:28.700 gosh this

00:39:29.260 is really

00:39:29.580 beautiful

00:39:29.920 I didn't

00:39:31.040 realize there

00:39:31.620 was all of

00:39:31.960 this beauty

00:39:32.420 before so

00:39:32.920 what I would

00:39:33.220 recommend to

00:39:33.720 you is

00:39:34.720 however you're

00:39:35.620 going to do

00:39:36.200 it whatever

00:39:36.600 church you

00:39:37.120 come from

00:39:37.520 or tradition

00:39:37.920 you come

00:39:38.280 from do

00:39:40.040 it really

00:39:40.880 do it

00:39:41.600 read all

00:39:43.120 the stuff

00:39:43.660 convince

00:39:44.860 yourself

00:39:45.240 intellectually

00:39:45.820 it seems

00:39:46.200 like you've

00:39:46.500 already

00:39:46.640 done that

00:39:47.080 and then

00:39:47.660 do it

00:39:48.160 and realize

00:39:48.580 that you're

00:39:48.900 doing something

00:39:49.600 you're not

00:39:50.140 just playing

00:39:50.840 around in a

00:39:51.420 sandbox

00:39:51.740 you are

00:39:52.540 really doing

00:39:53.420 something

00:39:53.800 and something

00:39:54.200 is really

00:39:54.540 being done

00:39:54.980 to you

00:39:55.300 by the

00:39:55.580 Holy Spirit

00:39:56.040 when you

00:39:57.040 realize

00:39:57.440 it's all

00:39:57.960 true

00:39:58.940 that will

00:40:01.120 obviously

00:40:01.640 inform your

00:40:02.140 faith

00:40:02.400 and transform

00:40:03.080 your life

00:40:04.100 from George

00:40:05.220 this morning

00:40:06.620 I heard on a

00:40:07.140 local radio

00:40:07.660 station here in

00:40:08.360 St. Louis

00:40:08.780 that you will

00:40:09.600 be speaking

00:40:10.100 at the state

00:40:10.560 capital in

00:40:11.240 Jefferson City

00:40:12.260 on May

00:40:13.040 9th

00:40:14.040 can you

00:40:14.540 elaborate

00:40:17.080 on this

00:40:18.140 or supply

00:40:18.740 a website

00:40:19.120 to find out

00:40:19.760 the specifics

00:40:20.260 that's true

00:40:21.440 I am

00:40:21.760 I'm going to

00:40:21.980 be speaking

00:40:22.380 in Jefferson

00:40:22.920 City

00:40:23.180 at the state

00:40:23.580 capital in

00:40:24.040 Missouri

00:40:24.260 I was invited

00:40:25.220 by a state

00:40:26.460 senator there

00:40:27.160 because my

00:40:28.800 speech at the

00:40:29.600 University of

00:40:30.060 Missouri Kansas

00:40:30.600 City was

00:40:31.420 interrupted

00:40:31.920 and because I

00:40:32.560 was physically

00:40:32.980 assaulted

00:40:33.420 and because the

00:40:34.440 awful chancellor 0.92

00:40:35.300 of that university

00:40:36.180 Molly Agrawal

00:40:37.200 then chose to

00:40:38.200 condemn me

00:40:38.800 and praise

00:40:39.360 the hecklers

00:40:40.240 who were

00:40:40.780 trying to

00:40:41.120 shut down

00:40:41.620 a free

00:40:42.340 discourse

00:40:42.660 on campus

00:40:43.160 so I was

00:40:43.700 invited to

00:40:44.220 go give a

00:40:44.580 speech there

00:40:45.060 at the state

00:40:45.460 capitol

00:40:45.860 we'll get

00:40:46.360 more information

00:40:46.940 out soon

00:40:47.400 I actually

00:40:47.700 don't have

00:40:48.060 it all on

00:40:48.440 me right

00:40:48.740 now

00:40:49.020 but it

00:40:49.740 promises

00:40:50.280 to be

00:40:50.760 a lively

00:40:51.340 event

00:40:51.780 so if

00:40:52.340 you're

00:40:52.520 around

00:40:53.000 sure

00:40:53.680 would

00:40:53.820 love

00:40:53.940 you

00:40:54.020 to

00:40:54.100 come

00:40:54.220 out

00:40:54.420 from

00:40:55.160 Seth

00:40:55.640 hello

00:40:56.760 Michael

00:40:57.140 knowledge

00:40:57.720 I was

00:40:58.640 talking

00:40:58.980 to a

00:40:59.360 friend

00:40:59.680 and she

00:41:00.100 said

00:41:00.340 that when

00:41:00.520 she gets

00:41:00.840 married

00:41:01.200 the husband

00:41:01.940 will have

00:41:02.500 to change

00:41:02.900 his last

00:41:03.480 name

00:41:03.720 to hers

00:41:04.320 what do

00:41:06.220 you think

00:41:06.540 about husbands

00:41:07.200 changing

00:41:07.700 their last

00:41:08.240 name

00:41:08.400 to their

00:41:08.680 wives

00:41:09.120 well if

00:41:09.900 she's

00:41:10.100 waiting

00:41:10.360 to find

00:41:10.840 a man

00:41:11.220 who's

00:41:11.420 going to

00:41:11.620 change

00:41:11.860 his last

00:41:12.280 name

00:41:12.460 to hers

00:41:12.920 this might

00:41:13.880 not end

00:41:14.200 up being

00:41:14.520 too much

00:41:14.840 of a

00:41:15.040 problem

00:41:15.320 for her

00:41:15.720 she might 0.99

00:41:16.660 not have

00:41:17.020 to actually

00:41:17.580 answer this

00:41:18.060 question

00:41:18.460 ever

00:41:18.900 she'll

00:41:19.520 wait a

00:41:19.740 very long

00:41:20.080 time

00:41:20.340 I think

00:41:22.160 this is

00:41:22.420 a bad

00:41:22.680 idea

00:41:22.960 I have

00:41:23.580 one

00:41:23.840 friend

00:41:24.220 who

00:41:25.060 did

00:41:26.000 take

00:41:26.300 his

00:41:26.480 wife's

00:41:27.000 last

00:41:27.440 name

00:41:27.760 and he

00:41:28.900 came up

00:41:29.240 with some

00:41:29.540 elaborate

00:41:29.960 explanation

00:41:30.460 of this

00:41:31.020 that was

00:41:31.380 philosophical

00:41:32.160 and

00:41:32.700 everything

00:41:33.140 I think

00:41:34.440 really why

00:41:34.900 he did

00:41:35.200 it is

00:41:35.460 because

00:41:35.680 he

00:41:35.900 had

00:41:36.100 a

00:41:36.220 really

00:41:36.380 long

00:41:36.860 kind

00:41:37.160 of

00:41:37.280 clunky

00:41:37.560 last

00:41:37.880 name

00:41:38.140 and his

00:41:38.640 wife

00:41:38.900 had

00:41:39.040 this

00:41:39.180 really

00:41:39.380 sleek

00:41:39.900 last

00:41:40.420 name

00:41:40.680 that

00:41:40.800 was

00:41:40.980 short

00:41:41.420 so I

00:41:42.260 think

00:41:42.440 maybe

00:41:43.200 it was

00:41:43.500 a little

00:41:43.860 self-interest

00:41:45.300 there as

00:41:45.680 well

00:41:45.880 what that

00:41:48.920 accepts

00:41:49.700 is

00:41:50.400 an

00:41:51.360 inversion

00:41:52.060 of the

00:41:52.640 tradition

00:41:53.020 so what

00:41:53.800 you are

00:41:54.300 traditionally

00:41:55.580 the man

00:41:56.480 is considered

00:41:57.000 the head

00:41:57.400 of the

00:41:57.640 household

00:41:58.060 now what

00:41:58.740 does that

00:41:59.000 mean

00:41:59.160 does that

00:41:59.420 mean

00:41:59.560 he's

00:41:59.700 dragging

00:42:00.420 his

00:42:00.620 knuckles

00:42:00.920 across

00:42:01.280 the

00:42:01.520 floor

00:42:01.840 and

00:42:02.180 bellowing

00:42:02.680 like

00:42:02.920 some

00:42:03.240 some

00:42:03.960 tyrant

00:42:04.760 or

00:42:04.920 something

00:42:05.240 no

00:42:05.720 but it

00:42:06.380 does

00:42:06.580 mean

00:42:06.780 that

00:42:06.900 the

00:42:07.180 man

00:42:07.340 has

00:42:07.500 a

00:42:07.660 leadership

00:42:08.040 role

00:42:08.520 the

00:42:09.040 husband

00:42:09.300 has

00:42:09.540 a

00:42:09.680 leadership

00:42:09.920 role

00:42:10.240 in

00:42:10.360 the

00:42:10.460 household

00:42:10.840 and

00:42:11.720 one

00:42:12.700 symbol

00:42:14.020 of

00:42:14.180 this

00:42:14.400 is

00:42:38.200 the

00:42:38.320 home

00:42:38.680 and

00:42:38.920 the

00:42:39.060 nurturer

00:42:39.560 and

00:42:39.820 the

00:42:39.940 person

00:42:40.140 who

00:42:40.260 raises

00:42:40.480 the

00:42:40.720 children

00:42:41.140 and

00:42:41.800 the

00:42:41.940 person

00:42:42.240 who

00:42:42.440 is

00:42:42.720 keeping

00:42:43.880 the

00:42:44.160 family

00:42:44.480 together

00:42:44.880 in a

00:42:45.480 more

00:42:45.920 private

00:42:46.260 way

00:42:46.580 while

00:42:47.080 the

00:42:47.320 wife

00:42:47.560 goes

00:42:47.780 out

00:42:48.000 and

00:42:48.200 is

00:42:48.500 the

00:42:48.640 public

00:42:48.900 face

00:42:49.200 of

00:42:49.320 the

00:42:49.440 family

00:42:49.780 and

00:42:50.360 is

00:42:50.620 spending

00:42:51.440 much

00:42:51.720 more

00:42:51.960 of

00:42:52.080 her

00:42:52.180 time

00:42:52.380 in

00:42:52.520 public

00:42:52.800 okay

00:42:53.520 if

00:42:53.640 that's

00:42:53.840 the

00:42:54.000 life

00:42:54.200 you

00:42:54.300 want

00:42:54.460 to

00:42:54.560 live

00:42:54.840 that's

00:42:55.320 fine

00:42:55.560 I

00:42:55.700 think

00:42:55.840 there

00:42:55.960 is

00:42:56.080 a

00:42:56.240 reason

00:42:56.560 why

00:42:56.940 throughout

00:42:57.900 all

00:42:58.760 of

00:42:58.900 history

00:42:59.340 certainly

00:42:59.860 in

00:43:00.040 our

00:43:00.200 civilization

00:43:00.760 and

00:43:01.440 in

00:43:01.660 the

00:43:01.820 vast

00:43:02.020 majority

00:43:02.320 of

00:43:02.460 other

00:43:02.640 civilizations

00:43:03.220 it

00:43:03.980 has

00:43:04.140 been

00:43:04.280 the

00:43:04.420 other

00:43:04.560 way

00:43:04.740 around

00:43:05.160 something

00:43:05.680 about

00:43:05.980 our

00:43:06.140 nature

00:43:06.480 probably

00:43:07.020 leads

00:43:07.720 into

00:43:07.960 that

00:43:08.140 something

00:43:08.380 about

00:43:08.620 our

00:43:08.760 inclinations

00:43:09.420 probably

00:43:09.940 explains

00:43:11.080 that

00:43:11.380 if

00:43:11.840 you

00:43:11.980 want

00:43:12.300 to

00:43:12.700 upend

00:43:14.100 that

00:43:14.440 and

00:43:14.940 do

00:43:15.820 the

00:43:15.960 opposite

00:43:16.300 and

00:43:16.960 see

00:43:17.560 if

00:43:17.900 backwards

00:43:18.400 day

00:43:18.700 works

00:43:19.020 for

00:43:19.180 the

00:43:19.280 rest

00:43:19.420 of

00:43:19.520 your

00:43:19.600 life

00:43:19.920 go

00:43:21.400 for

00:43:21.620 it

00:43:21.740 I

00:43:21.820 mean

00:43:21.980 be

00:43:22.220 my

00:43:22.420 guest

00:43:22.780 but

00:43:23.120 you

00:43:24.100 are

00:43:24.340 fighting

00:43:25.040 against

00:43:25.380 the

00:43:25.540 tides

00:43:25.780 of

00:43:25.920 your

00:43:26.040 culture

00:43:26.340 and

00:43:26.500 civilization

00:43:26.800 and

00:43:27.180 history

00:43:27.480 and

00:43:27.900 maybe

00:43:28.140 they

00:43:28.380 knew

00:43:28.600 something

00:43:28.900 that

00:43:29.080 you

00:43:29.180 don't

00:43:29.720 from

00:43:30.400 David

00:43:30.760 hello

00:43:31.820 Michael

00:43:32.180 I'm

00:43:32.400 currently

00:43:32.660 in

00:43:32.900 college

00:43:33.220 studying

00:43:33.660 English

00:43:34.240 teacher

00:43:34.640 education

00:43:35.140 I'm

00:43:35.840 thinking

00:43:36.060 about

00:43:36.320 changing

00:43:36.660 to a

00:43:37.060 poli

00:43:37.400 sci

00:43:37.720 major

00:43:38.240 program

00:43:38.800 do

00:43:39.240 you

00:43:39.320 think

00:43:39.480 this

00:43:39.620 is

00:43:39.740 a

00:43:39.860 useful

00:43:40.160 major

00:43:40.500 and

00:43:40.660 what

00:43:40.800 would

00:43:40.940 you

00:43:41.040 recommend

00:43:41.320 studying

00:43:41.700 to

00:43:41.880 get

00:43:42.000 into

00:43:42.140 politics

00:43:42.580 thanks

00:43:42.880 David

00:43:43.200 I

00:43:43.640 think

00:43:43.840 it's

00:43:44.020 a

00:43:44.140 terrible

00:43:44.520 major

00:43:44.900 I

00:43:45.100 think

00:43:45.220 it's

00:43:45.360 completely

00:43:45.780 useless

00:43:46.220 I

00:43:46.880 don't

00:43:47.200 recommend

00:43:47.520 studying

00:43:47.980 political

00:43:48.460 science

00:43:48.900 Ben

00:43:49.900 was a

00:43:50.220 poli

00:43:50.500 sci

00:43:50.620 major

00:43:51.000 and

00:43:51.260 he

00:43:51.380 says

00:43:51.560 the

00:43:51.700 same

00:43:51.860 thing

00:43:52.120 political

00:43:53.200 science

00:43:53.720 is a

00:43:54.120 highly

00:43:54.420 politicized

00:43:55.480 ideological

00:43:55.960 major

00:43:56.760 it

00:43:57.020 now

00:43:57.380 rarely

00:43:57.940 focuses

00:43:58.460 on

00:43:58.920 political

00:43:59.240 philosophy

00:43:59.800 which

00:44:00.300 is a

00:44:00.540 very

00:44:00.740 worthwhile

00:44:01.080 thing

00:44:01.380 to

00:44:01.520 study

00:44:01.780 and

00:44:02.320 instead

00:44:02.660 focuses

00:44:03.220 on

00:44:03.580 statistics

00:44:05.320 and

00:44:06.300 social

00:44:06.680 science

00:44:07.300 and

00:44:07.700 things

00:44:08.220 that

00:44:08.360 are

00:44:08.420 a little

00:44:08.680 softer

00:44:09.100 a little

00:44:09.440 less

00:44:10.240 related

00:44:10.580 to

00:44:10.940 the

00:44:11.500 traditional

00:44:11.860 liberal

00:44:12.180 arts

00:44:12.520 it

00:44:13.780 depends

00:44:14.120 if

00:44:14.260 you

00:44:14.360 want

00:44:14.500 to

00:44:14.560 go

00:44:14.680 into

00:44:14.820 politics

00:44:15.380 I

00:44:15.660 recommend

00:44:16.020 you

00:44:16.260 study

00:44:16.660 history

00:44:17.500 or

00:44:18.420 English

00:44:19.300 perhaps

00:44:19.880 literature

00:44:20.340 or

00:44:21.320 I guess

00:44:22.020 philosophy

00:44:22.540 if you're

00:44:22.800 interested

00:44:23.060 in

00:44:23.220 political

00:44:23.480 philosophy

00:44:24.020 and

00:44:25.020 maybe

00:44:26.420 if you

00:44:26.640 want

00:44:26.760 to

00:44:26.820 go

00:44:26.920 into

00:44:27.060 politics

00:44:27.460 you

00:44:27.660 should

00:44:27.800 study

00:44:28.080 business

00:44:28.660 I

00:44:29.060 don't

00:44:29.180 know

00:44:29.360 it

00:44:29.500 depends

00:44:29.740 if

00:44:29.860 you

00:44:29.920 want

00:44:30.020 a

00:44:30.100 liberal

00:44:30.260 education

00:44:30.760 or

00:44:31.480 a

00:44:31.720 more

00:44:31.840 practical

00:44:32.200 education

00:44:32.740 and

00:44:33.520 if

00:44:34.360 you

00:44:34.500 study

00:44:34.740 business

00:44:35.040 you

00:44:35.200 can

00:44:35.280 make

00:44:35.420 a

00:44:35.500 whole

00:44:35.640 lot

00:44:35.780 of

00:44:35.860 money

00:44:36.040 and

00:44:36.180 you

00:44:36.360 can

00:44:36.460 buy

00:44:36.640 your

00:44:36.780 way

00:44:36.980 into

00:44:37.120 some

00:44:37.420 political

00:44:37.840 seat

00:44:38.160 and

00:44:38.380 rise

00:44:38.720 your

00:44:38.840 way

00:44:39.000 up

00:44:39.240 if

00:44:39.420 you

00:44:39.520 want

00:44:39.780 if

00:44:41.080 you

00:44:41.160 want

00:44:41.260 to

00:44:41.300 be

00:44:41.360 an

00:44:41.460 English

00:44:41.660 teacher

00:44:41.980 I

00:44:42.200 guess

00:44:42.360 you

00:44:42.460 should

00:44:42.600 study

00:44:42.860 English

00:44:43.300 or

00:44:43.700 English

00:44:44.380 education

00:44:44.980 it

00:44:46.160 depends

00:44:46.400 what

00:44:46.540 you

00:44:46.620 want

00:44:46.760 to

00:44:46.840 do

00:44:46.980 with

00:44:47.120 it

00:44:47.300 poli-sci

00:44:48.080 can

00:44:48.460 be

00:44:48.680 useful

00:44:49.140 in

00:44:49.360 the

00:44:49.480 sense

00:44:49.700 that

00:44:49.980 a

00:44:50.720 lot

00:44:50.860 of

00:44:50.980 poli-sci

00:44:51.360 majors

00:44:51.660 end up

00:44:51.940 going

00:44:52.060 to

00:44:52.200 law

00:44:52.380 school

00:44:52.600 if

00:44:52.820 you

00:44:52.900 want

00:44:53.000 to

00:44:53.080 go

00:44:53.140 to

00:44:53.220 law

00:44:53.420 school

00:44:53.600 to

00:44:53.740 get

00:44:53.860 into

00:44:54.020 politics

00:44:54.500 then

00:44:55.220 that's

00:44:55.700 fine

00:44:56.000 what

00:44:56.920 I

00:44:57.040 would

00:44:57.180 really

00:44:57.420 recommend

00:44:57.900 though

00:44:58.160 is

00:44:58.600 doing

00:45:01.560 what

00:45:01.800 you

00:45:01.900 are

00:45:02.040 good

00:45:02.260 at

00:45:02.520 doing

00:45:03.080 what

00:45:03.280 you

00:45:03.420 naturally

00:45:03.900 gravitate

00:45:04.480 toward

00:45:04.920 and

00:45:05.580 knowing

00:45:06.160 somehow

00:45:08.260 some way

00:45:09.360 that that

00:45:09.780 might apply

00:45:10.360 to the rest

00:45:10.820 of your

00:45:11.020 life

00:45:11.360 I

00:45:12.480 studied

00:45:12.900 liberal

00:45:13.340 arts

00:45:13.760 I studied

00:45:14.380 history

00:45:14.880 and

00:45:15.460 Italian

00:45:15.920 literature

00:45:16.360 those are

00:45:17.680 not

00:45:18.000 mechanical

00:45:18.500 arts

00:45:18.820 those are

00:45:19.080 not

00:45:19.220 practical

00:45:19.620 you don't

00:45:19.920 get a

00:45:20.160 job

00:45:20.420 out of

00:45:20.680 those

00:45:20.940 but I

00:45:21.280 was

00:45:21.360 very

00:45:21.580 interested

00:45:21.900 in

00:45:22.080 them

00:45:22.260 I

00:45:22.420 think

00:45:22.560 they're

00:45:22.720 very

00:45:22.900 good

00:45:23.260 for

00:45:24.140 understanding

00:45:26.020 the west

00:45:26.540 understanding

00:45:27.000 our culture

00:45:27.440 understanding

00:45:27.900 human

00:45:28.240 nature

00:45:28.580 they're

00:45:29.620 obviously

00:45:29.940 good

00:45:30.140 for

00:45:30.300 politics

00:45:30.840 which

00:45:31.300 is

00:45:31.660 what

00:45:31.780 I'm

00:45:31.880 doing

00:45:32.040 now

00:45:32.380 they're

00:45:32.740 obviously

00:45:33.020 good

00:45:33.260 for

00:45:33.420 an

00:45:33.520 understanding

00:45:34.060 of

00:45:34.460 the

00:45:35.340 culture

00:45:35.680 and

00:45:36.000 where

00:45:36.180 things

00:45:36.580 are

00:45:36.700 going

00:45:36.920 so

00:45:37.300 it

00:45:37.420 does

00:45:37.600 apply

00:45:37.880 in

00:45:38.040 that

00:45:38.200 way

00:45:38.460 poli-sci

00:45:40.460 I don't

00:45:40.760 think

00:45:41.280 really

00:45:41.500 does

00:45:41.780 that

00:45:41.920 you've

00:45:42.100 got to

00:45:42.240 figure

00:45:42.380 out

00:45:42.520 what

00:45:42.720 you

00:45:42.920 want

00:45:43.200 so

00:45:43.420 often

00:45:43.680 people

00:45:43.960 go

00:45:50.680 we're

00:45:51.360 right

00:45:51.740 now

00:45:51.940 at

00:45:52.400 a

00:45:52.560 crisis

00:45:53.020 of

00:45:53.720 the

00:45:53.820 American

00:45:54.140 university

00:45:54.700 the

00:45:55.020 whole

00:45:55.220 thing

00:45:55.420 is

00:45:55.580 collapsing

00:45:56.020 around

00:45:56.440 us

00:45:56.760 and

00:45:57.440 you

00:45:57.720 don't

00:45:57.940 want

00:45:58.120 to

00:45:58.200 be

00:45:58.420 the

00:45:58.900 one

00:45:59.100 who

00:45:59.240 spent

00:45:59.620 a

00:45:59.980 quarter

00:46:00.140 million

00:46:00.460 dollars

00:46:00.860 getting

00:46:01.140 a

00:46:01.300 degree

00:46:01.660 that

00:46:02.340 you

00:46:03.260 come

00:46:03.460 to

00:46:03.600 find

00:46:03.760 out

00:46:03.900 is

00:46:04.000 useless

00:46:04.300 all right

00:46:04.860 our

00:46:04.980 show
