00:00:37.740 The pop singer Lizzo twerks about self-love in front of a giant inflatable butt at the MTV Video Music Awards.

00:00:46.260 We examine how the cult of self-love can actually lead to self-hatred.

00:00:50.220 Then, future also-ran Beto O'Rourke gives the slave owner's answer on abortion at a campaign event at the College of Charleston. 0.92

00:00:58.200 And a man leaves his wife for freshman congressman and socialist squad member Ilhan Omar.

00:01:04.580 When pressed for comment, Representative Omar brushed off the allegations, stating,

00:01:09.260 Oh, please, he's like a brother to me.

00:01:11.440 All that and more.

00:01:12.220 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:13.980 I can't take credit for that Omar joke much as I would like to. 1.00

00:01:24.640 That one was going around Twitter yesterday, and I first saw it on the account BoomyLeaks,

00:01:29.680 which has the handle NotWokeyLeaks, so give him a follow.

00:01:34.040 It's a pretty good joke.

00:01:36.080 There's a lot to get to today, a lot of weird sex going on.

00:01:40.040 If we have time, we'll even get to some updates in the Jeffrey Epstein story.

00:01:43.480 But I have to begin with the Video Music Awards.

00:01:46.080 Did you watch it?

00:01:46.780 No, you didn't, because nobody really watched it.

00:01:49.560 But there was some seriously culturally relevant stuff going on.

00:01:53.800 It wasn't good.

00:01:54.540 It wasn't pretty.

00:01:55.400 It wasn't true, and it wasn't beautiful.

00:01:56.840 But it tells you a lot about the culture that you are in.

00:02:00.340 A singer who I had never heard of or seen before, but now I'm like downloading all of her stuff

00:02:06.760 because she's so fascinating, is Lizzo.

00:02:11.280 Lizzo stole the show at the VMAs by twerking in front of a giant inflatable butt. 1.00

00:02:18.760 The VMAs are very, very stupid, and they pretty much always have been,

00:02:23.540 and they don't matter at all in themselves.

00:02:25.240 And especially this one, because it was the lowest rated VMAs ever.

00:02:29.600 They got 1.93 million viewers.

00:02:32.360 I mean, we have several YouTube videos that have many more views than that.

00:02:36.960 So that's not what we're talking about.

00:02:39.020 The reason that it matters, though, there are actually two reasons why this matter.

00:02:43.880 And it tells you something about the state of culture right now.

00:02:47.920 The first reason for why this matters is it shows just how far our culture has fallen.

00:02:54.920 So for those of you who aren't watching this, there's this singer, and she's a voluptuous lady. 0.99

00:03:02.180 So this is important to the whole story of the song.

00:03:05.320 She's a more full-bodied performer, trying to be polite about this. 0.95

00:03:10.420 And then a bunch of other singers come out or dancers, and they go and they start dancing around.

00:03:14.460 And then behind them is this huge, like two or three story tall, inflatable butt.

00:03:22.640 And that's our culture, which produced Bach, which produced Chopin, Mozart, which produced Gregorian chant.

00:03:31.840 Our culture, which built the Sistine Chapel, which sculpted David by Michelangelo,

00:03:39.740 which sculpted the Pietà, the Duomo, the Cathedral of Chartres, the Cathedral of Notre Dame.

00:03:45.680 That culture has now decided to reward, as its high point of the year, a giant inflatable butt and a woman rattling off gibberish 0.99

00:03:57.520 while other women come on stage and just shake around. 1.00

00:04:01.700 This is unfortunate for the culture.

00:04:05.320 And because it used to be, it's not like we never had low culture before.

00:04:08.260 We've had fart jokes and comedies for as long as there have been comedies, for thousands of years.

00:04:14.160 But there's also been a high culture.

00:04:16.300 And the low culture has told us something about the high culture.

00:04:18.620 And the high culture has built these cathedrals and written these symphonies.

00:04:22.700 There is no high culture anymore.

00:04:24.320 It doesn't exist.

00:04:26.140 This is the high culture, which is the low culture, which is a giant inflatable butt.

00:04:30.580 So then Lizzo gets into the dance.

00:04:32.700 She calls these girls on stage. 0.94

00:04:34.320 And what you can't quite tell when they first come on, but you quickly learn,

00:04:37.980 is that the girls in their costumes are wearing assless chaps. 1.00

00:04:43.840 And then Lizzo continues to speak in this sort of slang.

00:04:50.320 And then the girls twerk in the assless chaps for the nation. 1.00

00:04:55.400 This shows the contradiction of the sexual revolution in a particularly hilarious way.

00:05:00.580 Again, I would point you to the giant inflatable butt.

00:05:04.340 And the contradiction here is that on the one hand, feminists tell us, 1.00

00:05:08.720 feminists tell women in particular that dressing nicely and putting on lipstick and wearing a dress 1.00

00:05:13.640 is horribly oppressive and it is degrading because it objectifies women,

00:05:19.520 makes women into sexual objects. 0.98

00:05:21.680 That's on the one hand.

00:05:22.360 On the other hand, we are told that going on national television in assless chaps 0.88

00:05:28.900 and twerking in front of a giant inflatable butt is empowering because it gives women sexual agency. 1.00

00:05:36.100 Some of us knew that feminism was a lie from the very beginning. 1.00

00:05:40.140 Some people didn't realize that.

00:05:41.580 I think now we're finally seeing it.

00:05:44.340 I think now we're finally seeing that lie.

00:05:46.240 We were told that gender studies, for instance, was an important step in empowering women.

00:05:51.760 Now we're seeing that gender studies is erasing the whole category of women altogether through gender ideology.

00:06:00.200 The left is very good at destroying things.

00:06:03.120 The left is very good at deconstructing.

00:06:05.000 The left is very good at breaking things down.

00:06:07.900 The left is very good at criticizing.

00:06:11.340 They are so good at pointing out all the flaws and weaknesses and bad aspects of culture.

00:06:16.920 Everything that was wrong with the way that women behaved and were treated in the 1950s and 60s, 0.62

00:06:23.720 the left is really good at pointing that out.

00:06:26.140 They're excellent at pointing that out.

00:06:27.560 But the left's trick is that we never hold them to account for proposing an alternative.

00:06:32.180 They say it's terrible that women are staying at home and raising children. 0.83

00:06:35.600 It's awful that they cook dinner.

00:06:37.040 It's terrible that they wear dresses and wear lipstick and do their hair.

00:06:41.860 Degrading.

00:06:43.020 Objectifying.

00:06:43.680 How terrible.

00:06:44.220 They can't do that.

00:06:46.120 Here's your assless chaps, man. 1.00

00:06:47.620 Please put those on.

00:06:48.460 That way you can be empowered.

00:06:49.700 Does anybody seriously believe that these women dancing on stage are respected more than a 1960s housewife?

00:06:57.060 Does anybody really believe that these women, that women generally are made better off today by casual sex

00:07:04.520 and a culture demands that they get a job and a culture that discourages marriage

00:07:08.680 and a culture that discourages men from taking responsibility for their actions?

00:07:12.560 Nobody seriously believes that.

00:07:14.520 That is ridiculous.

00:07:15.420 But then we get to the second reason that Lizzo's twerky VMA performance really matters for the culture.

00:07:23.440 It is a subject that has come to dominate not just leftist culture but even some people on the right

00:07:29.640 and it is absolute poison.

00:07:31.360 We'll get to what that is in a second.

00:07:32.800 But first, let's get down to business.

00:07:36.020 And let's talk about one of my favorite companies, Vistaprint.

00:07:39.500 Your next big opportunity is coming right now.

00:07:43.200 And all it takes to feel like you are ready to own the now is $10.

00:07:47.600 Because I go to a lot of events, right?

00:07:49.660 And I very often would forget to bring business cards.

00:07:52.920 And this is a huge faux pas.

00:07:54.800 Business cards, you don't need to spend a whole lot of money.

00:07:57.280 You don't need to hire a designer.

00:07:58.460 You don't need to go to some specialty store.

00:08:00.600 Vistaprint can give you 500 personalized cards with exactly the look you want for just $10.

00:08:06.580 And then you have them and then you look like an adult and not like an irresponsible child

00:08:10.560 who doesn't even have his contact information.

00:08:12.360 So you make an introduction to somebody that could change your life.

00:08:16.360 Could be a great business opportunity.

00:08:17.680 Could be a great personal opportunity.

00:08:19.580 And what are you going to do?

00:08:20.340 You're going to write your number down on a cocktail napkin or something?

00:08:22.920 Not a good look.

00:08:24.960 $10 for 500 personalized business cards is a low price to make a lasting impression.

00:08:30.880 And because you can choose the colors, fonts, designs, images, that means that you can create

00:08:35.460 something as unique and compelling as your business.

00:08:38.380 I've been involved in a lot of startup businesses for years and years now.

00:08:42.180 I have always used Vistaprint.

00:08:43.780 I've always been so thrilled with their services.

00:08:45.740 Going back to 2010, 2011, I've been using them consistently almost every year since then.

00:08:51.220 They're just terrific.

00:08:52.400 If you needed any more reasons to choose Vistaprint, you can feel good knowing that Vistaprint uses

00:08:56.740 only carefully selected inks and responsibly sourced paper stocks.

00:09:00.360 So you're getting top quality satisfaction, 100% guaranteed, or your money back.

00:09:04.880 They will make it right.

00:09:05.820 But you won't need to get your money back because they do a great job.

00:09:08.360 Vistaprint wants you to own the now in any situation.

00:09:10.500 So they're giving you 500 high quality custom business cards starting at $999.

00:09:14.260 Go to Vistaprint.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:09:18.060 Vistaprint.com slash Knowles.

00:09:19.860 Get 500 custom business cards.

00:09:21.500 Own the now.

00:09:22.140 Valid offer only through September 8th.

00:09:24.920 So go right now.

00:09:25.920 Vistaprint.com slash Knowles.

00:09:28.120 So on the one hand, you see how the culture has just been totally destroyed and degraded.

00:09:33.860 You go from Bach to Lizzo twerking.

00:09:37.460 But the more urgent reason, I mean, look, we could complain about the culture decaying all day.

00:09:42.200 The more urgent reason why this VMA performance matters is because Lizzo is singing about self-love.

00:09:50.380 Self-love has totally taken over our culture.

00:09:54.600 It is not just in music.

00:09:56.060 It's not just in TV.

00:09:57.140 It's the biggest trend in publishing.

00:09:58.480 Self-help books are like the dominant category of books, and they have been for decades.

00:10:06.680 On the left and on the right and in the center and in people that are not political at all.

00:10:12.040 It's all about self-help, self-love, self-self-self.

00:10:16.740 It's certainly the biggest trend in social justice circles.

00:10:19.800 If you read any left-wing website, you'll see that there are all of these pushes toward self-love.

00:10:25.400 It's so hard to love yourself.

00:10:27.340 Right before she walks up and gives this speech, she says, I got a bottle of tequila.

00:10:31.100 And she drinks, I mean, I assume it's water, but she ostensibly drinks an entire bottle of tequila, which is loving herself. 0.84

00:10:37.780 And then she gets up and talks about loving yourself.

00:10:40.060 And maybe it was accidental or maybe she's just a good artist and she understands the symmetry there.

00:10:45.260 But that's what self-love is.

00:10:46.900 Self-love is like drinking yourself into a stupor.

00:10:50.040 It makes you feel good for a little bit and ultimately it leaves you with a bad hangover.

00:10:55.960 It leaves you totally depressed.

00:10:57.520 It leaves you totally empty.

00:10:59.120 To quote Homer Simpson, alcohol is the source of and the solution to all of life's problems.

00:11:03.900 Maybe you've got to reverse that.

00:11:05.720 And it's the same thing with self-love.

00:11:09.840 You got to get up.

00:11:10.900 You got to love yourself.

00:11:11.760 It's so hard to love yourself.

00:11:13.080 She's talking to a room full of celebrities.

00:11:14.980 She's talking to a room full of extraordinarily privileged and wealthy people.

00:11:18.620 Even the ones who aren't celebrities have just gotten to go there.

00:11:21.920 They've flown out to wherever the MTV Video Music Awards are.

00:11:24.740 They've bought an expensive ticket and they're dancing around with a ton of celebrities.

00:11:28.020 And just all they're doing is indulging their own pleasures and their own desires.

00:11:33.520 It shouldn't be hard to feel good in the society.

00:11:36.420 And what aspect of the society is telling you not to love yourself?

00:11:40.140 We have the most indulgent society probably in the history of the world.

00:11:44.340 At our most rigorous universities, we've taken away academic rigor.

00:11:48.280 We now have safe spaces.

00:11:49.980 I mean, no joke.

00:11:51.000 There are kids at elite universities in this country who are given little private rooms

00:11:55.000 with crayons and puppy dogs if their candidate doesn't win an election that they want them to.

00:12:02.040 Well, really, if their leftist candidate doesn't win the election.

00:12:04.860 I don't think conservatives get the safe spaces.

00:12:08.060 This is a totally indulgent culture.

00:12:09.880 The whole moral scheme of the culture is if it feels good, do it.

00:12:13.260 You do you.

00:12:14.600 Love yourself.

00:12:15.260 And so this theme is absurd on its face.

00:12:18.720 And I think, I don't know if you've ever heard of Lizzo.

00:12:21.300 I had not heard of Lizzo before.

00:12:22.700 And so coming into this without any frame of reference, I think gives you a certain clarity

00:12:28.320 because you think, oh my gosh, what has been going on?

00:12:30.480 Well, I've been looking away from the Video Music Awards.

00:12:32.660 How did we get to this place?

00:12:34.400 And Lizzo makes her point.

00:12:35.860 What is the premise of self-love?

00:12:37.720 How did we get to this point?

00:12:38.680 The premise of self-love is you deserve everything you want.

00:12:44.720 She's saying you deserve to feel good as hell.

00:12:47.860 You deserve it.

00:12:49.320 You deserve to feel good as hell.

00:12:51.200 That's a lie.

00:12:52.200 You don't.

00:12:53.880 Not only do you not deserve to feel good as hell,

00:12:57.060 nobody feels good as hell all the time.

00:12:59.840 People feel good as hell like some of the time.

00:13:03.060 That's a fantasy.

00:13:04.220 That's a delusion.

00:13:05.060 The culture of self-love is a lie.

00:13:07.740 Who are these people trying to convince?

00:13:09.500 You know, if you've got to go out there and say,

00:13:11.500 I'm really beautiful.

00:13:12.820 I'm really beautiful.

00:13:13.600 I'm the most beautiful thing in the world.

00:13:14.960 You probably don't believe it, right?

00:13:17.780 I forget who wrote about this.

00:13:19.500 It was one of, you know, I just kind of default to C.S. Lewis,

00:13:22.660 but it was one of those types of guys said that,

00:13:25.640 I think it was C.S. Lewis actually,

00:13:27.480 said that the really intelligent guy

00:13:30.660 doesn't have to talk about how intelligent he is to the stupid guy.

00:13:35.480 It's always the stupid guy talking about how intelligent he is

00:13:38.080 to the intelligent guy.

00:13:40.640 It's never the good-looking person who says,

00:13:42.680 I'm really physically attractive to the ugly person,

00:13:45.240 but it is the ugly person who says,

00:13:46.760 I'm really physically attractive to the good-looking person

00:13:49.300 because they're just trying to convince you.

00:13:50.720 You're not confident.

00:13:51.660 You have this sort of insecurity.

00:13:53.340 This is never more true than with self-love.

00:13:58.200 The people I see most on social media

00:14:00.420 or who write in magazines and journals

00:14:03.280 who post the most about self-love

00:14:05.480 are the most miserable people I know

00:14:08.960 to a man or more often to a woman.

00:14:14.660 This is always true.

00:14:16.180 Like there is almost no exception to this rule.

00:14:18.600 If you are constantly prattling on about self-love,

00:14:22.920 you don't love yourself.

00:14:24.540 You're just trying to convince other people that you do

00:14:26.580 and you're trying to convince them

00:14:27.600 to go down this rabbit hole of madness

00:14:29.560 called the self-love culture.

00:14:32.140 And the reason that they don't love themselves

00:14:34.740 is not because they're failing at self-love.

00:14:38.500 I think that's the idea.

00:14:40.060 If I don't love myself,

00:14:41.320 if I don't feel good as hell all the time,

00:14:42.820 then I'm just not loving myself enough.

00:14:44.340 I need to think about myself more.

00:14:46.260 I need to think about how I'm entitled to more things.

00:14:48.620 And then I'll be happy.

00:14:49.720 No, the opposite is true.

00:14:51.480 You won't be.

00:14:52.060 That's the problem.

00:14:52.540 The self-love is the problem.

00:14:55.180 Usually, almost always,

00:14:56.440 the people who talk about self-love all the time

00:14:58.140 are loving themselves.

00:14:59.960 They are behaving in a selfish way.

00:15:03.140 They're behaving in a self-centered way.

00:15:04.440 They're always talking about themselves.

00:15:05.740 They are absorbed in themselves.

00:15:06.880 But a man wrapped up in himself

00:15:08.540 makes a very small package indeed.

00:15:12.280 It's just selfishness.

00:15:14.440 It's just self-centeredness

00:15:16.380 that make you miserable.

00:15:18.920 That's the problem.

00:15:19.760 You think that selfishness and self-centeredness

00:15:21.460 are going to make you really happy

00:15:22.920 and feel good as hell.

00:15:23.760 That's what the culture tells you.

00:15:24.920 They don't.

00:15:25.460 They always make you miserable.

00:15:27.840 We used to know this.

00:15:29.660 This used to be common sense.

00:15:31.520 But common sense

00:15:32.220 is no longer common

00:15:33.760 in a culture

00:15:34.380 that exalts twerking

00:15:36.000 in front of a giant inflatable butt.

00:15:37.960 This common sense

00:15:39.220 has been beaten out of us.

00:15:40.340 Now, if you say

00:15:42.540 that you are perfect

00:15:43.580 the way that you are,

00:15:45.060 if you say,

00:15:45.820 if you think you deserve

00:15:46.520 all the happiness in the world,

00:15:48.040 the culture tells you

00:15:49.020 that's exactly the right thing.

00:15:50.380 Actually,

00:15:50.980 you are giving yourself

00:15:52.220 a recipe for misery. 0.77

00:15:54.800 Guaranteed.

00:15:55.800 The culture of self-love

00:15:57.220 is a culture of delusion

00:15:58.680 and entitlement.

00:16:00.600 So what is the actual beginning

00:16:02.300 of real love?

00:16:03.240 Not self-love,

00:16:04.240 but actual love.

00:16:05.640 First of all,

00:16:06.080 it's not self-centered.

00:16:07.980 That love is on someone else.

00:16:11.520 You might hear this

00:16:12.940 from a certain Jewish fellow

00:16:14.860 who walked around Israel

00:16:16.000 2,000 years ago

00:16:17.100 who said,

00:16:19.000 love the Lord your God

00:16:20.000 and love your neighbor as yourself.

00:16:25.180 Love the Lord your God.

00:16:26.500 You're loving your maker.

00:16:27.940 You're loving with gratitude.

00:16:29.700 You are loving

00:16:30.340 the person who gave you

00:16:33.120 this wonderful life that you have.

00:16:34.380 And then,

00:16:35.560 you,

00:16:36.200 who are made in the image of God,

00:16:38.520 love your neighbors as yourselves

00:16:40.020 and you do unto others

00:16:41.140 as you would have them do unto you.

00:16:43.080 The actual beginning of real love

00:16:45.200 is this humility

00:16:47.100 and this gratitude.

00:16:49.200 It's a love of other,

00:16:50.440 first of God

00:16:51.200 and then,

00:16:52.900 because of that,

00:16:53.940 of your neighbor.

00:16:55.380 And,

00:16:56.140 what is your love of God?

00:16:58.200 Your love of God

00:16:59.120 expresses a gratitude

00:17:00.520 for the life that God gave you,

00:17:02.480 which you did not create.

00:17:03.660 You are,

00:17:04.080 even if you're an atheist,

00:17:05.040 even if you're an agnostic,

00:17:06.820 even if you have some other religion,

00:17:08.560 we can at least agree.

00:17:10.200 You,

00:17:10.420 you are not responsible

00:17:11.620 for,

00:17:12.080 for your life.

00:17:12.960 You did not create your life.

00:17:14.460 You were born into this world

00:17:15.880 and you

00:17:17.060 were not responsible for that

00:17:19.220 and you're going to live

00:17:20.140 and you're going to do a lot of things

00:17:21.140 and then you're going to be taken out

00:17:22.420 of this world.

00:17:23.560 Most likely,

00:17:24.380 you're going to have no say

00:17:25.160 in that either.

00:17:27.440 Your life at a fundamental level

00:17:29.300 is not your own.

00:17:30.180 You have a,

00:17:30.700 you can express

00:17:31.580 a gratitude for that

00:17:32.800 and that realization

00:17:34.120 that you're not responsible

00:17:34.960 for coming into this world

00:17:35.820 and you're probably not going to be responsible

00:17:36.940 for coming out of it

00:17:37.800 is cause for a humility.

00:17:41.180 St. Augustine,

00:17:42.080 I think it was,

00:17:42.560 who said,

00:17:43.140 the four most important virtues

00:17:44.720 are humility,

00:17:46.460 humility,

00:17:47.320 humility,

00:17:48.100 and humility.

00:17:50.600 That,

00:17:50.920 that culture,

00:17:51.780 that actual culture

00:17:52.540 of real love,

00:17:53.860 not self-love,

00:17:54.720 would be Lizzo

00:17:55.520 getting on stage

00:17:56.520 in a sort of nice,

00:17:58.000 elegant dress

00:17:58.740 and then thanking all of her fans

00:18:00.340 for listening to her music.

00:18:01.720 She goes to the Video Music Awards

00:18:02.940 and she says,

00:18:03.420 hey,

00:18:04.900 this is lovely.

00:18:05.720 Thank you so much

00:18:06.360 for listening to my music

00:18:07.380 and making me popular

00:18:08.340 and I really like that

00:18:09.640 and I really like all of you.

00:18:11.600 It would be Lizzo

00:18:12.980 reminding everyone

00:18:13.860 who's in that room,

00:18:14.680 who's dancing around

00:18:15.440 to the fun tunes,

00:18:16.520 how lucky they are,

00:18:17.780 how unbelievably privileged

00:18:19.140 they are

00:18:19.660 to be able to be in that room

00:18:21.160 listening to fun music

00:18:21.960 that they like

00:18:22.540 and to be

00:18:23.860 in the greatest country

00:18:25.400 in the world

00:18:25.980 that allows them

00:18:27.180 to do that,

00:18:27.740 gives them so much freedom,

00:18:29.220 so much prosperity,

00:18:30.340 such a good protection

00:18:31.340 of their rights

00:18:32.020 and how lucky they are

00:18:33.980 just to live,

00:18:34.700 just to be alive.

00:18:35.620 What a time to be alive.

00:18:37.920 That would be

00:18:38.820 a culture of real love.

00:18:41.560 By the way,

00:18:42.240 that's what award shows

00:18:43.060 used to be

00:18:43.780 until like five minutes ago.

00:18:46.720 Award shows used to,

00:18:47.680 well,

00:18:47.820 not five minutes ago,

00:18:48.580 it really started going downhill

00:18:49.700 in the 70s

00:18:50.380 but before that,

00:18:51.340 the award shows were

00:18:52.160 you would get up there

00:18:52.800 and you'd say,

00:18:53.220 thank you so much.

00:18:54.620 Thank you.

00:18:55.720 Thank you to my country.

00:18:56.940 I'm so glad to live

00:18:57.720 in the greatest country on earth

00:18:58.560 and thank you to God

00:18:59.340 for blessing me

00:18:59.940 with all these wonderful blessings.

00:19:01.440 Good night.

00:19:03.220 That exhibited

00:19:04.060 something called class.

00:19:05.960 That exhibited

00:19:06.520 something called grace.

00:19:07.960 That was rooted

00:19:08.660 in a fundamental humility.

00:19:10.620 Then award shows

00:19:11.500 became about entitlement.

00:19:13.720 You saw this a little bit

00:19:14.620 when Brando

00:19:15.200 went up at the Oscars.

00:19:16.080 He didn't go to the Oscars.

00:19:16.920 He sent a Native American Indian 1.00

00:19:18.500 to complain

00:19:19.120 and that was when things

00:19:20.760 started to turn

00:19:21.400 a little bit for the worse.

00:19:22.760 Then you saw Michael Moore.

00:19:24.020 He goes up at the Oscars

00:19:25.300 and he complains

00:19:26.240 and now people

00:19:27.140 just go complain. 0.98

00:19:28.620 They get up there

00:19:29.200 and they say,

00:19:29.500 everything's terrible.

00:19:30.560 Trump's awful

00:19:31.200 and all the people

00:19:31.900 who voted for him

00:19:32.480 were terrible

00:19:32.920 and everyone,

00:19:33.920 it's all BS.

00:19:34.840 It's all BS.

00:19:35.620 I'm tired of the BS.

00:19:36.380 I need to love myself more.

00:19:38.200 People need to love me more.

00:19:39.400 Feel good.

00:19:39.900 Let's all feel good.

00:19:41.480 That's not nice.

00:19:42.840 People don't like that.

00:19:45.360 You don't have to take

00:19:46.220 my word for it.

00:19:47.020 Back in the olden times,

00:19:48.480 you know,

00:19:48.780 like 20 years ago,

00:19:51.240 people were happier

00:19:52.800 and 40 years ago

00:19:54.020 people were happier

00:19:54.700 and 50 years ago

00:19:55.580 people were even happier still.

00:19:57.680 This is according

00:19:58.260 to every survey

00:19:59.340 that has attempted

00:20:00.500 to measure happiness

00:20:01.800 and satisfaction.

00:20:02.660 Now it's difficult

00:20:04.380 to measure those things

00:20:05.260 because in many ways

00:20:05.900 they're unquantifiable

00:20:06.820 but in so much

00:20:07.860 as they are quantifiable,

00:20:09.280 people used to be

00:20:10.280 a lot happier

00:20:11.360 and by the way,

00:20:12.340 the objects

00:20:13.080 of this sexual revolution

00:20:14.380 and the particular objects

00:20:16.560 of this culture

00:20:17.120 of self-love

00:20:17.940 and the participants

00:20:18.640 largely in this culture

00:20:19.980 of self-love

00:20:20.580 are women 0.97

00:20:21.420 and they have become

00:20:22.620 the most unhappy.

00:20:24.260 Their happiness

00:20:24.780 has dropped off

00:20:25.720 most precipitously

00:20:26.980 both in absolute terms

00:20:28.880 and in relative terms

00:20:29.940 to men.

00:20:30.380 This culture

00:20:31.780 is poison.

00:20:34.620 Now,

00:20:35.120 what do we have?

00:20:35.540 We have rising epidemics

00:20:36.660 of misery,

00:20:37.840 loneliness,

00:20:38.660 drug addiction

00:20:39.160 and suicide.

00:20:40.680 Not even just

00:20:41.380 among older people

00:20:42.120 but among teenagers

00:20:43.480 as well.

00:20:45.280 Surging rates

00:20:45.980 of teenage suicide

00:20:47.700 up 70%

00:20:48.620 in recent years.

00:20:49.880 Obviously,

00:20:50.420 something isn't working.

00:20:52.300 Obviously,

00:20:52.800 the culture of self-love

00:20:54.120 so-called

00:20:54.680 is not working.

00:20:56.640 You know,

00:20:56.900 insanity is doing

00:20:57.880 the same thing

00:20:58.460 over and over

00:20:59.060 and over again

00:20:59.580 and expecting

00:21:00.060 different results.

00:21:02.440 So maybe,

00:21:03.120 we've tried this

00:21:03.820 self-love,

00:21:04.600 entitlement,

00:21:05.780 I get mine,

00:21:07.880 self-love culture

00:21:08.820 for a long time.

00:21:10.600 Maybe let's try

00:21:11.120 something else.

00:21:11.660 Maybe let's try

00:21:12.240 humility

00:21:12.700 or even modesty.

00:21:14.920 And modesty

00:21:15.500 and humility

00:21:15.920 are related

00:21:16.480 but they're not

00:21:16.940 the same thing.

00:21:17.640 Modesty would imply,

00:21:18.760 for instance,

00:21:19.880 some gratitude

00:21:20.560 and fewer

00:21:22.000 inflatable butts.

00:21:24.020 Inflatable butts

00:21:25.000 are not modest.

00:21:26.800 Assless chaps 1.00

00:21:27.820 are not modest

00:21:29.140 and I don't think

00:21:29.820 they make anybody happy.

00:21:30.960 Speaking of this culture

00:21:31.840 of shallow selfishness

00:21:32.960 though,

00:21:33.500 we've got to get to

00:21:34.580 someone who is a far

00:21:35.880 greater embarrassment

00:21:36.720 to our country

00:21:37.420 than Lizzo 0.97

00:21:38.780 and Lizzo's fans.

00:21:39.800 I speak,

00:21:40.340 of course,

00:21:40.840 of Beto O'Rourke.

00:21:42.080 Beto O'Rourke

00:21:42.900 taking the culture

00:21:44.180 of selfishness

00:21:44.940 and shallowness

00:21:45.580 to the campaign trail.

00:21:47.560 He was at a campaign stop

00:21:48.740 at the College of Charleston

00:21:49.940 because he still thinks

00:21:51.140 he's running for president

00:21:52.040 even though he's polling

00:21:53.060 at negative 7%

00:21:54.620 or something like that.

00:21:55.780 He still thinks

00:21:56.360 he's running.

00:21:56.760 He's still out there.

00:21:57.620 He was asked a question

00:21:58.500 about abortion.

00:21:59.200 It was an amazing question.

00:22:00.720 The guy said,

00:22:02.160 I was born,

00:22:03.820 I don't know,

00:22:04.120 I think it was September 8th.

00:22:06.960 Was,

00:22:07.580 you know,

00:22:08.000 whatever year he was born.

00:22:10.440 On September 7th,

00:22:12.440 was I not a human being

00:22:14.260 entitled to live?

00:22:15.600 Should I have,

00:22:16.160 should it be okay

00:22:16.760 to murder me

00:22:17.680 on September 7th,

00:22:19.000 a day before I'm born?

00:22:21.320 And Beto O'Rourke

00:22:22.340 gives a gruesome answer,

00:22:24.380 a grotesque answer,

00:22:25.320 a cruel and enormous answer,

00:22:27.300 but he gives the honest answer.

00:22:29.080 I was born September 8th, 1989

00:22:31.760 and I want to know

00:22:32.840 if you think

00:22:33.840 on September 7th, 1989,

00:22:36.120 my life had no value.

00:22:40.040 Of course I don't think that

00:22:41.400 and of course I'm glad

00:22:43.460 that you're here,

00:22:44.920 but you,

00:22:45.760 you,

00:22:46.440 Stop it right there.

00:22:47.520 You heard that,

00:22:48.560 but.

00:22:49.540 That's the but

00:22:50.340 that's going to negate

00:22:51.320 everything he said.

00:22:52.100 No, of course I don't think

00:22:53.080 you should have been killed

00:22:53.700 the day before you're born.

00:22:54.680 And of course I'm happy

00:22:55.440 you're here.

00:22:57.240 But,

00:22:58.140 and he's going to go on

00:23:00.040 to negate everything

00:23:01.860 that he just said

00:23:02.500 because I say this

00:23:03.680 as an honest answer

00:23:04.520 that he's about to give

00:23:05.700 because the logic

00:23:07.520 of abortion is

00:23:08.300 if it's okay

00:23:08.760 to kill a person,

00:23:10.600 if it's okay

00:23:11.000 to kill a baby 0.74

00:23:11.760 at,

00:23:13.820 I don't know,

00:23:14.840 two weeks old,

00:23:15.760 then it's okay

00:23:16.440 to kill a baby 0.74

00:23:16.980 at four weeks old,

00:23:17.720 then it's okay

00:23:18.100 to kill a baby 0.74

00:23:18.620 at 40 weeks old.

00:23:19.460 The logic of abortion

00:23:21.040 is either

00:23:24.020 you,

00:23:25.160 you can't kill

00:23:25.760 innocent humans

00:23:26.720 ever

00:23:28.140 or

00:23:29.300 you can kill them

00:23:31.120 at some arbitrary line

00:23:32.640 and if,

00:23:33.700 if the line

00:23:34.240 is being drawn

00:23:34.820 at birth,

00:23:35.720 if it's all about

00:23:36.520 pre-birth and post-birth,

00:23:37.540 then of course

00:23:37.900 you can kill the baby

00:23:38.720 a day before he's born.

00:23:40.340 And,

00:23:40.480 and really

00:23:41.040 if you're following that

00:23:41.820 to its logical conclusion,

00:23:43.080 you can kill the baby

00:23:43.980 after it's been born

00:23:44.960 as the Virginia governor

00:23:47.260 Ralph Northam

00:23:48.120 talked about.

00:23:48.980 He said,

00:23:49.180 yeah,

00:23:49.380 if the baby's born

00:23:50.300 but the mother

00:23:50.720 wanted to kill it,

00:23:51.880 then we'll put it

00:23:52.840 on the table,

00:23:53.400 we'll make it comfortable

00:23:54.040 and then I'll ask the mother

00:23:54.940 if the mother still

00:23:55.580 wants to kill it.

00:23:56.860 And if she does,

00:23:57.500 then we'll kill it.

00:23:58.020 I mean,

00:23:58.200 that was the implication

00:23:59.060 of what he was saying.

00:24:00.140 So Beto O'Rourke says,

00:24:00.840 no,

00:24:01.100 no,

00:24:01.380 of course

00:24:01.980 you were a dignified

00:24:03.720 human being

00:24:04.200 the day that you,

00:24:04.880 before you were born.

00:24:06.600 But,

00:24:07.720 reference my answer

00:24:09.080 in,

00:24:09.580 in Ohio

00:24:10.080 and it remains the same.

00:24:11.700 This is a decision

00:24:12.560 that neither you

00:24:13.520 nor I

00:24:14.880 nor the United States

00:24:16.120 government

00:24:16.520 should be making.

00:24:17.660 That's a decision

00:24:18.220 for

00:24:18.700 the woman 0.98

00:24:19.600 to make.

00:24:20.580 We want her 0.77

00:24:21.280 to have.

00:24:23.760 What does that

00:24:24.520 even mean?

00:24:26.520 So,

00:24:27.480 I,

00:24:28.080 I oppose murder.

00:24:29.220 I think murder

00:24:29.660 is wrong

00:24:30.200 and we shouldn't

00:24:31.640 murder people.

00:24:34.160 Beto O'Rourke says,

00:24:35.020 I agree.

00:24:35.500 Yeah,

00:24:35.880 no,

00:24:36.200 yeah,

00:24:36.480 sure,

00:24:36.800 I get it.

00:24:37.340 You don't want

00:24:37.700 to be murdered. 0.70

00:24:38.640 It would be bad

00:24:39.220 for you to be murdered, 0.97

00:24:40.000 but that's a decision

00:24:40.840 for the murderer

00:24:42.300 to make,

00:24:42.980 not for you to make.

00:24:45.300 That's,

00:24:45.520 you know,

00:24:45.740 actually,

00:24:46.320 even,

00:24:46.860 let's take this

00:24:47.500 argument further.

00:24:48.300 The answer

00:24:48.820 that he is giving

00:24:49.560 is the slave owner's 0.69

00:24:51.280 answer.

00:24:53.360 Because the,

00:24:54.060 the,

00:24:54.460 if you try to talk

00:24:55.320 about it as just

00:24:55.940 a matter of law

00:24:56.900 and,

00:24:57.440 and laws about murder, 0.53

00:24:59.140 it doesn't make any sense.

00:25:00.300 Of course,

00:25:00.680 we have laws

00:25:01.100 against murder.

00:25:02.000 We have laws

00:25:02.480 against littering.

00:25:03.660 We have laws

00:25:04.180 against killing

00:25:04.940 the spotted eagle.

00:25:06.960 Of course we can,

00:25:07.880 of course it's a matter

00:25:08.580 for the government.

00:25:09.420 That's what democratic

00:25:10.120 politics is.

00:25:10.920 That's what republican

00:25:11.520 politics is,

00:25:12.500 is us deciding

00:25:13.740 as a people

00:25:14.300 what laws we want

00:25:15.400 to make,

00:25:15.820 what kind of country

00:25:16.500 we want to live in,

00:25:17.400 then we elect people

00:25:18.220 to pass those laws

00:25:19.020 and then we live

00:25:19.520 under those laws.

00:25:20.680 So of course

00:25:21.360 that's a matter

00:25:21.860 for the government.

00:25:22.700 If the question

00:25:23.500 of life and death

00:25:24.520 is not a matter

00:25:25.120 for the government,

00:25:26.040 then what is?

00:25:26.920 Littering?

00:25:27.520 Okay,

00:25:27.760 the government

00:25:28.120 can handle littering,

00:25:29.260 but on questions

00:25:29.940 of actually protecting

00:25:31.020 your life,

00:25:31.720 the government

00:25:32.060 has to stay out.

00:25:33.020 Unless it's the life

00:25:34.020 of the spotted eagle

00:25:34.820 or the delta smelt

00:25:36.080 or any other person

00:25:37.640 except for the babies

00:25:38.560 when it's convenient

00:25:39.200 for us to say

00:25:39.860 that we should kill them.

00:25:40.560 That doesn't make

00:25:41.400 any sense.

00:25:42.420 The more coherent

00:25:43.780 argument that he's

00:25:44.860 talking about

00:25:45.660 and it's coincidental

00:25:48.100 that he's giving this

00:25:48.740 at the College of Charleston

00:25:49.640 is about,

00:25:51.260 is really about slavery.

00:25:52.820 That's the argument.

00:25:54.080 The argument he's making

00:25:55.220 is,

00:25:56.120 look,

00:25:57.620 regardless of what

00:25:58.680 you think about slavery,

00:26:00.320 that's not a decision

00:26:02.060 that the government

00:26:02.600 can make.

00:26:04.180 That's,

00:26:04.840 that's a decision

00:26:05.960 for the slaveholders.

00:26:07.860 Look,

00:26:08.240 you,

00:26:08.540 you might not,

00:26:09.180 you might not support

00:26:10.140 slavery,

00:26:10.560 so you don't have

00:26:11.440 to have any slaves.

00:26:12.940 But the slave owner's

00:26:14.440 got slaves.

00:26:16.440 You're going to tell him

00:26:17.460 that he can just

00:26:17.980 release his slaves?

00:26:19.240 How dare you?

00:26:20.480 How could you come

00:26:21.400 and tell him to do that?

00:26:23.360 The slave owner

00:26:24.000 has his slaves,

00:26:24.740 you don't have your slaves,

00:26:25.620 that's fine.

00:26:26.640 Agree to disagree.

00:26:28.400 It's choice.

00:26:29.260 He chooses to have slaves,

00:26:30.280 you choose not to have slaves.

00:26:31.540 And the obvious answer

00:26:32.860 to that is,

00:26:34.060 what about the slave's choice?

00:26:37.720 Isn't the slave a person?

00:26:39.480 What about the baby's choice?

00:26:41.120 Isn't the baby a person?

00:26:43.960 It's not a matter

00:26:44.920 just for the mother

00:26:46.000 to decide.

00:26:47.500 The baby's a baby.

00:26:50.320 It's unbelievable,

00:26:51.140 you know,

00:26:51.420 it's,

00:26:51.840 he's not quite making

00:26:53.740 an argument for states' rights.

00:26:55.080 He's even going

00:26:55.560 more radical than that.

00:26:56.580 He's making an argument

00:26:57.260 for slaveholder rights.

00:26:58.360 He's making an argument

00:26:59.140 for murderer rights.

00:27:01.860 It doesn't make any sense.

00:27:03.120 It's so utterly cowardly.

00:27:05.200 It is so profoundly immoral.

00:27:08.200 And, I mean,

00:27:08.680 Beto O'Rourke

00:27:09.360 is not going to be remembered

00:27:10.480 in history,

00:27:11.300 but for the significant people

00:27:13.540 who are making this argument,

00:27:15.060 they are going to look

00:27:16.500 so,

00:27:17.940 so bad

00:27:19.120 in future eras.

00:27:22.300 If there is a future era

00:27:23.460 of moral clarity,

00:27:24.420 they're going to look

00:27:25.220 just absolutely awful.

00:27:27.340 They are defending

00:27:28.080 pretty much

00:27:29.220 the worst thing

00:27:30.060 you can imagine,

00:27:31.460 just killing

00:27:32.020 innocent little babies.

00:27:33.780 We'll get to

00:27:34.760 where Beto

00:27:36.220 even draws out further

00:27:37.680 the slavery analogy.

00:27:39.640 And then we will get to

00:27:40.500 Ilhan Omar's

00:27:41.340 sex scandal.

00:27:42.300 I can't believe

00:27:42.940 I'm saying that,

00:27:43.820 but, you know,

00:27:44.540 hey,

00:27:45.100 we're in silly season,

00:27:46.060 aren't we?

00:27:46.780 We'll get to all of that

00:27:47.880 and maybe some updates

00:27:48.600 on Jeffrey Epstein

00:27:49.220 if we have the time.

00:27:49.940 But first,

00:27:51.420 I've got to say goodbye

00:27:52.100 to Facebook and YouTube.

00:27:53.040 You know,

00:27:53.200 Daily Wire is turning

00:27:53.980 four years old.

00:27:56.260 So still old enough

00:27:57.360 to abort,

00:27:57.920 I think,

00:27:58.400 in Virginia

00:27:59.260 and in the state

00:27:59.980 of New York.

00:28:00.460 But, you know,

00:28:01.880 getting around that age

00:28:02.700 now where it's

00:28:03.460 really pretty

00:28:04.140 a significant thing.

00:28:05.360 Four years.

00:28:36.020 with a lot more.

00:28:36.540 Okay, so the government

00:28:49.180 has no say

00:28:50.380 in whether or not

00:28:51.180 we kill babies.

00:28:52.180 Beto goes on

00:28:53.060 with his argument.

00:28:53.660 We want her to have

00:28:55.120 the best possible

00:28:59.160 access to care

00:29:01.500 and to a medical provider

00:29:02.440 and I'll tell you

00:29:03.080 the consequence

00:29:03.680 of this attack

00:29:06.380 on women's right 0.99

00:29:07.140 to choose.

00:29:08.420 And I listened to you

00:29:11.140 and I heard your question,

00:29:11.980 I'm answering it.

00:29:13.200 And the attack

00:29:14.180 on Roe versus Wade,

00:29:15.480 which we thought was

00:29:16.500 the settled law

00:29:17.640 of the land.

00:29:18.240 And lest we had

00:29:19.760 any illusion

00:29:20.480 that the achievements

00:29:22.000 that we've made

00:29:22.740 are protected forever

00:29:23.660 or that progress

00:29:24.500 is inevitable,

00:29:25.480 that has been

00:29:26.300 shattered right now.

00:29:27.000 And I want to tell you

00:29:27.800 some of the consequences

00:29:28.580 of this.

00:29:29.540 Okay, we thought

00:29:30.380 that Dred Scott

00:29:31.040 was the settled law

00:29:32.100 of the land, okay?

00:29:33.060 We thought

00:29:33.800 that the Supreme Court's

00:29:35.260 decision in Dred Scott

00:29:36.600 that blacks can never 1.00

00:29:37.400 be citizens.

00:29:38.380 We thought that was

00:29:39.300 the settled law

00:29:40.060 of the land.

00:29:40.640 That's a Supreme Court

00:29:41.400 decision, okay?

00:29:43.180 And now,

00:29:44.080 now we're being told

00:29:45.380 it's not.

00:29:47.380 Slave owners' rights 1.00

00:29:48.420 to choose

00:29:48.920 are being challenged.

00:29:50.940 And then you see

00:29:51.740 the guy there,

00:29:52.320 the guy who asked

00:29:52.660 the question,

00:29:52.980 he's like,

00:29:53.340 right, but what about

00:29:54.040 my right to live?

00:29:55.460 What about,

00:29:56.660 guy,

00:29:57.500 you're telling me

00:29:58.400 you could kill me

00:29:58.940 a day before I was born?

00:30:00.000 Hey, hey,

00:30:00.380 I listened to your argument,

00:30:01.560 okay?

00:30:01.980 Now listen to my argument,

00:30:03.080 okay?

00:30:03.240 Dred Scott is the

00:30:04.020 settled law of the land,

00:30:04.900 okay?

00:30:06.060 And slave owners 0.68

00:30:06.720 have a right to choose.

00:30:08.760 Now check out this,

00:30:09.820 this sick move

00:30:10.720 on my skateboard.

00:30:12.380 Check this out.

00:30:13.020 I can do it while

00:30:13.680 I eat a french fry.

00:30:15.340 So,

00:30:16.380 he,

00:30:16.620 you see,

00:30:17.300 he starts the argument

00:30:18.280 talking about

00:30:19.300 women's health care.

00:30:20.860 Now he'll get back to that.

00:30:21.820 This is another minefield

00:30:22.680 for him.

00:30:23.320 But the argument,

00:30:24.060 this is the settled law.

00:30:24.900 We've had a lot of bad

00:30:25.880 settled laws in this country.

00:30:27.980 And we overturn them.

00:30:28.940 Because they're horrific.

00:30:30.900 They're enormous.

00:30:32.100 They're not tolerable.

00:30:34.780 He won't acknowledge that.

00:30:36.160 Then he gets into

00:30:36.960 an even worse decision

00:30:38.000 for him right now,

00:30:38.740 an even worse area

00:30:39.800 of the argument,

00:30:40.720 which is women's health care. 1.00

00:30:43.000 In my home state of Texas,

00:30:44.540 thanks to these trap laws

00:30:46.080 that make it harder

00:30:47.620 for providers

00:30:49.240 to offer the full spectrum

00:30:50.680 of reproductive care,

00:30:52.180 more than a quarter

00:30:53.060 of our family planning clinics

00:30:54.360 have closed.

00:30:55.000 And it has made us

00:30:56.320 one of the epicenters

00:30:57.200 of this maternal mortality crisis

00:30:58.700 because not only

00:30:59.740 can you not get safe

00:31:00.680 legal access

00:31:01.320 to an abortion,

00:31:02.740 you cannot get access

00:31:03.740 to a cervical cancer screening

00:31:05.380 or a family planning provider

00:31:06.920 or in a state

00:31:07.740 that refused to expand Medicaid,

00:31:09.340 any provider at all.

00:31:10.740 And we are losing

00:31:11.440 the lives of women

00:31:12.460 in our state

00:31:13.660 as a result.

00:31:14.400 Okay, now he's just

00:31:15.640 sort of rambling

00:31:16.340 because he knows

00:31:17.340 he can't answer this question

00:31:18.460 because his answer

00:31:19.200 is so morally repugnant.

00:31:20.720 But what he's starting

00:31:21.520 to get at

00:31:22.180 is the shrinking

00:31:25.500 of so-called

00:31:26.180 family planning services

00:31:27.760 because of different

00:31:29.320 rules and regulations.

00:31:30.360 One rule, for instance,

00:31:31.560 just came out

00:31:32.160 this past week

00:31:32.880 out of Title 10,

00:31:34.560 which was the federal government.

00:31:36.280 Trump administration

00:31:37.120 came in and said,

00:31:38.580 okay, we're going

00:31:39.400 to continue to give out

00:31:40.580 the quarter billion dollars

00:31:41.800 a year of Title 10

00:31:43.940 funding.

00:31:46.280 Title 10 funding

00:31:47.140 is for family planning services.

00:31:48.740 But we're not going

00:31:49.600 to give that money out

00:31:50.640 to abortionists.

00:31:52.740 So you can either

00:31:53.820 have your Title 10 funding,

00:31:56.020 your family planning funding,

00:31:56.980 if you actually want to

00:31:57.720 be a family planning provider

00:31:59.480 and not a family

00:32:00.340 killing provider.

00:32:02.280 Right, you're actually

00:32:02.920 planning growing families.

00:32:04.000 They call it reproductive health.

00:32:05.200 It's the exact opposite

00:32:06.280 of reproductive health.

00:32:07.300 It's against reproduction

00:32:08.420 and it kills you. 0.81

00:32:09.400 So it's obviously not health.

00:32:10.800 They say, okay,

00:32:11.340 we'll give you

00:32:11.840 the reproductive health.

00:32:12.660 We'll give you

00:32:13.020 the family planning.

00:32:13.940 But you can't

00:32:14.620 provide abortions.

00:32:15.660 So you can either

00:32:16.180 have your family planning

00:32:17.420 or you can have abortions, 1.00

00:32:19.080 but you can't have both.

00:32:20.400 And all of these

00:32:21.440 leftist organizations

00:32:22.400 that pretend to focus

00:32:23.560 on family planning

00:32:24.400 turned away the money.

00:32:25.700 Why?

00:32:26.080 Because they have nothing

00:32:26.740 to do with family planning

00:32:27.680 and all they want to do

00:32:28.700 is kill babies. 1.00

00:32:29.860 Planned Parenthood

00:32:30.400 gets $60 million a year

00:32:31.740 through Title 10 funding

00:32:32.660 and they turned it down.

00:32:34.800 Now they get a lot of other,

00:32:35.760 they probably get

00:32:36.620 another, what,

00:32:38.060 $440 million

00:32:39.360 of taxpayer funding

00:32:40.620 at least

00:32:41.240 every year

00:32:42.040 through other programs.

00:32:43.480 So,

00:32:43.700 but they still took

00:32:44.340 well over a 10% hit

00:32:45.560 because they don't actually

00:32:47.920 do family planning.

00:32:49.380 They just kill babies. 1.00

00:32:51.760 That's what Beto

00:32:52.560 is talking about here.

00:32:53.920 And

00:32:54.220 what the Republican response

00:32:57.020 to that should be

00:32:57.640 is, well,

00:32:58.360 we want to help women,

00:33:00.380 we want to help families,

00:33:01.460 we want to help mothers.

00:33:03.120 Here's all the money.

00:33:04.120 We're not,

00:33:04.480 we're not going to cut

00:33:05.520 one penny

00:33:06.540 from any of that funding.

00:33:07.880 You have to choose

00:33:10.820 abortion or women's health

00:33:12.540 because,

00:33:12.920 because what the left

00:33:13.760 has done is conflate

00:33:14.640 abortion with women's health,

00:33:15.760 but they're not the same.

00:33:16.700 So,

00:33:17.480 what the right can do

00:33:18.300 is make the left choose.

00:33:19.720 We should do it

00:33:20.300 with a more serious candidate

00:33:21.340 than Beto O'Rourke

00:33:22.160 because Beto

00:33:22.800 ain't going nowhere.

00:33:24.780 And then he finishes up

00:33:26.360 his pseudo argument.

00:33:29.400 I don't question

00:33:30.560 the decisions

00:33:31.120 that,

00:33:31.880 that a woman makes. 1.00

00:33:32.820 I mean,

00:33:33.020 only she knows

00:33:34.260 what she knows

00:33:35.560 and I want to trust her

00:33:36.480 with that.

00:33:37.280 So,

00:33:37.600 I appreciate the question.

00:33:39.280 I don't question

00:33:40.280 a decision

00:33:41.440 a woman makes. 0.98

00:33:43.160 What kind of

00:33:44.600 patronizing idiocy

00:33:46.280 is that?

00:33:47.640 Because women 0.99

00:33:48.260 can't make mistakes.

00:33:49.540 Just like women 1.00

00:33:50.120 can't lie.

00:33:50.720 You have to believe

00:33:51.200 all women 0.66

00:33:51.640 because women 0.99

00:33:52.040 can't lie.

00:33:52.560 They don't make mistakes.

00:33:53.300 They don't lie.

00:33:54.780 This is,

00:33:55.260 I mean,

00:33:55.540 not at the height

00:33:56.820 of the Victorian era

00:33:57.820 did people treat women

00:33:59.100 with such ridiculous

00:34:00.760 unreality

00:34:01.720 as put them

00:34:02.800 on such a pedestal.

00:34:03.800 Wow,

00:34:04.020 they can't lie.

00:34:05.020 Goodness,

00:34:05.400 they can't make

00:34:05.840 any mistakes.

00:34:06.740 Why would you

00:34:07.120 trust women

00:34:08.260 more than you

00:34:08.920 would trust men?

00:34:09.940 More than you

00:34:10.260 would trust anybody?

00:34:11.880 If a woman 0.96

00:34:12.600 wants to kill

00:34:13.520 somebody,

00:34:14.660 it's just as wrong

00:34:15.980 as if a man

00:34:16.520 wants to kill somebody. 0.85

00:34:17.400 If a mother

00:34:17.700 wants to kill her child, 0.70

00:34:18.640 it's just as wrong

00:34:19.400 as if a father

00:34:21.160 wants to kill his child.

00:34:23.420 Doesn't make

00:34:24.100 any

00:34:25.060 sense.

00:34:26.920 Speaking of other

00:34:27.580 very bad Democrats, 0.53

00:34:28.500 though,

00:34:28.620 I want to move on

00:34:29.220 to one who's

00:34:29.640 more relevant

00:34:30.400 than poor Mr. Beto

00:34:31.900 and that,

00:34:32.280 of course,

00:34:32.720 is Ilhan Omar.

00:34:34.680 Ilhan Omar

00:34:35.520 is now caught

00:34:37.280 in a sex scandal.

00:34:38.540 Ilhan Omar,

00:34:39.360 if you thought

00:34:39.720 she couldn't get

00:34:40.160 bad enough,

00:34:40.900 she stole 0.99

00:34:41.540 another woman's 0.94

00:34:42.700 husband.

00:34:43.780 This just came out

00:34:44.800 out of divorce

00:34:45.740 proceedings that are

00:34:46.400 going on in court.

00:34:46.980 there's a woman,

00:34:48.820 a physician,

00:34:49.380 who's 55 years old.

00:34:51.040 She's married to

00:34:51.820 a 38-year-old man

00:34:53.080 who is a political

00:34:54.320 consultant and a

00:34:55.280 Democrat.

00:34:56.740 That consultant

00:34:57.620 has worked for

00:34:58.680 left-wing Democrats

00:34:59.740 in his career,

00:35:01.180 including Ilhan Omar.

00:35:03.140 He also worked for

00:35:03.740 Keith Ellison,

00:35:04.320 so he works for

00:35:04.820 all these radicals.

00:35:06.580 The 38-year-old man,

00:35:08.760 Democrat operative,

00:35:09.500 and the 55-year-old

00:35:10.360 physician have

00:35:11.600 a 13-year-old son

00:35:13.140 together.

00:35:13.520 Now he is going

00:35:15.200 to leave her

00:35:15.760 and break up

00:35:16.440 the marriage

00:35:16.980 because he's fallen

00:35:18.420 in love with

00:35:19.820 Ilhan Omar.

00:35:20.720 This from the

00:35:21.440 court papers.

00:35:22.380 The parties

00:35:22.820 physically separated

00:35:23.820 on or about

00:35:24.720 April 7th,

00:35:25.460 2019,

00:35:26.440 when defendant

00:35:27.160 told plaintiff

00:35:28.060 that he was

00:35:29.020 romantically involved

00:35:30.080 with and in love

00:35:31.020 with another woman,

00:35:32.500 Ilhan Omar.

00:35:33.540 It gets even more

00:35:37.020 sorted because not

00:35:38.100 only did the

00:35:38.940 congresswoman,

00:35:40.160 Ilhan Omar,

00:35:41.040 steal the guy's,

00:35:42.920 or the woman's

00:35:44.060 husband,

00:35:45.200 she also paid 0.96

00:35:46.300 this guy,

00:35:46.800 his name is Tim

00:35:47.460 Minette,

00:35:48.120 and his consulting

00:35:48.920 firm,

00:35:49.540 $230,000

00:35:51.000 through her campaign

00:35:52.880 since 2018.

00:35:54.140 So it's something

00:35:54.540 like one out of

00:35:55.120 every three dollars

00:35:55.900 she's spent,

00:35:56.680 or something like

00:35:57.160 that,

00:35:57.600 has gone to

00:35:58.740 this guy's

00:35:59.660 campaign,

00:36:00.760 or this guy's

00:36:01.320 firm.

00:36:01.640 The reason I

00:36:04.020 bring this up,

00:36:05.160 it's awful when

00:36:06.260 a spouse leaves

00:36:07.300 and a marriage

00:36:07.900 breaks up.

00:36:08.880 It's just awful.

00:36:09.900 I know many people

00:36:10.680 who have found

00:36:11.080 themselves in that

00:36:11.680 position.

00:36:12.560 If I can offer

00:36:13.340 any consolation,

00:36:15.480 consider this.

00:36:17.340 At least your

00:36:18.080 spouse didn't leave

00:36:18.900 you for Ilhan Omar.

00:36:21.860 So, you know,

00:36:22.520 every storm cloud

00:36:23.400 has a silver lining.

00:36:24.640 It's bad enough

00:36:25.500 to say,

00:36:25.980 honey,

00:36:26.180 I am breaking

00:36:26.700 up our marriage

00:36:27.380 and I'm leaving

00:36:27.900 you for someone

00:36:28.680 else.

00:36:29.560 But imagine if

00:36:30.440 you heard,

00:36:30.940 honey,

00:36:31.640 I'm breaking

00:36:32.180 up our marriage

00:36:32.880 and I'm leaving

00:36:33.500 you for the

00:36:34.440 devil.

00:36:35.300 Yes, yes,

00:36:36.080 the actual devil.

00:36:37.080 I love the devil.

00:36:38.060 I'm leaving you

00:36:39.260 for someone

00:36:40.040 who giggles 0.92

00:36:40.800 when she says

00:36:41.500 Al-Qaeda,

00:36:42.420 someone who

00:36:42.880 compares the

00:36:43.600 United States

00:36:44.140 military to

00:36:44.860 terrorists. 0.53

00:36:45.900 I am leaving

00:36:46.660 you, honey.

00:36:47.960 I'm leaving

00:36:48.520 you for the

00:36:49.100 devil.

00:36:50.400 There's a little

00:36:51.080 silver lining.

00:36:52.520 I'm actually

00:36:53.340 not even

00:36:53.840 mentioning this

00:36:54.480 to pick on

00:36:55.300 Ilhan Omar.

00:36:56.920 I'm not

00:36:57.760 surprised by

00:36:58.380 this.

00:36:58.840 I don't,

00:36:59.720 I,

00:37:00.460 politicians are

00:37:01.260 not exactly

00:37:01.740 known for

00:37:02.460 their marital

00:37:03.020 fidelity.

00:37:04.480 Now,

00:37:04.700 in part,

00:37:05.420 this is a

00:37:06.460 temptation of

00:37:07.200 the office

00:37:07.680 because you're

00:37:09.200 getting adulation

00:37:09.960 all the time

00:37:10.560 and you've got

00:37:11.240 long hours on

00:37:11.860 the road and

00:37:12.240 long hours away

00:37:12.800 from your

00:37:13.080 family.

00:37:13.440 So there's a

00:37:13.740 kind of natural

00:37:14.240 temptation there.

00:37:15.220 There's also

00:37:15.800 the personal

00:37:16.740 temptation of

00:37:18.080 the kinds of

00:37:18.540 people who run

00:37:19.140 for elected

00:37:19.600 office,

00:37:20.820 the kinds of

00:37:21.320 people who run

00:37:21.820 for office in

00:37:23.360 Washington.

00:37:24.000 You know,

00:37:24.200 some of those

00:37:24.720 people are really

00:37:25.320 good,

00:37:25.720 honorable men like

00:37:26.340 George Washington.

00:37:26.960 most often

00:37:28.540 they're just

00:37:29.160 vacuous egotists

00:37:30.420 who have a

00:37:32.160 huge ego and

00:37:32.820 do whatever they

00:37:33.320 want and a lot

00:37:34.180 of them are

00:37:34.500 sociopaths anyway.

00:37:35.620 So I'm not

00:37:36.400 even,

00:37:37.220 look,

00:37:37.480 is she a

00:37:37.900 sociopath?

00:37:38.580 I don't know,

00:37:39.200 probably.

00:37:39.680 She giggles

00:37:40.020 about Al-Qaeda

00:37:40.620 and she breaks

00:37:41.480 up some poor

00:37:42.260 woman's marriage.

00:37:43.060 So yeah,

00:37:43.600 it seems like

00:37:44.220 in the sociopath

00:37:45.220 corner there's a

00:37:46.920 lot of evidence

00:37:47.520 and in the not

00:37:48.540 sociopath corner

00:37:49.320 there isn't.

00:37:50.880 But I mention

00:37:51.660 this in particular

00:37:52.460 because Ilhan

00:37:54.680 Omar is the 1.00

00:37:55.500 left's vision

00:37:56.900 of purity.

00:37:58.980 She is,

00:37:59.740 she wears all

00:38:00.420 white.

00:38:01.020 I mean,

00:38:01.160 she even wears

00:38:01.680 all white,

00:38:02.400 right?

00:38:02.620 To show her,

00:38:03.040 I am the pure,

00:38:03.960 I'm ideologically

00:38:04.980 pure,

00:38:06.060 I'm religiously

00:38:07.060 pure because the

00:38:07.720 left hates

00:38:08.080 Christianity and

00:38:08.780 they love all

00:38:09.280 other religions

00:38:09.840 that aren't

00:38:10.180 Christianity and

00:38:10.880 Ilhan Omar is

00:38:11.680 a Muslim.

00:38:12.740 They love that.

00:38:13.820 They like that

00:38:14.340 she hates America.

00:38:15.420 She's just so,

00:38:16.160 she's so virtuous

00:38:17.800 compared to Trump.

00:38:18.960 How awful.

00:38:19.700 Trump said that

00:38:20.240 she should go back

00:38:20.880 where she came

00:38:21.420 from.

00:38:21.660 She's wonderful.

00:38:22.640 She's more

00:38:23.060 American than

00:38:23.660 Trump.

00:38:24.220 She's so wonderful.

00:38:25.140 She's perfect.

00:38:26.140 Trump should go

00:38:26.660 back where he

00:38:27.140 came from.

00:38:27.600 That's what they

00:38:28.020 say.

00:38:29.020 She's sort of

00:38:29.840 the anti-Trump.

00:38:32.220 And now we

00:38:33.080 find out that

00:38:34.540 forget even

00:38:35.280 ideologically because

00:38:36.400 the right doesn't 0.72

00:38:37.240 like what Ilhan

00:38:37.820 Omar thinks.

00:38:38.820 Reasonable people

00:38:39.340 don't like what

00:38:40.140 Ilhan Omar thinks

00:38:40.800 and the left

00:38:41.500 doesn't like what

00:38:42.020 Donald Trump

00:38:42.420 thinks.

00:38:42.940 So just forget

00:38:43.540 ideologically for a

00:38:44.500 second.

00:38:44.960 From a personal

00:38:45.740 level, Ilhan

00:38:47.360 Omar is just as 1.00

00:38:48.880 debauched as

00:38:49.700 Donald Trump.

00:38:51.660 We've heard for

00:38:52.380 years Trump

00:38:53.080 is so terribly

00:38:54.180 debauched on a

00:38:56.000 personal level.

00:38:56.980 He's been married

00:38:57.720 three times.

00:38:59.280 He's slept with

00:39:00.500 his friends' wives

00:39:01.440 or say he's

00:39:01.960 cheated on

00:39:02.820 whatever.

00:39:05.800 Ilhan Omar is

00:39:06.820 at least as

00:39:07.840 personally

00:39:08.220 debauched as

00:39:09.260 Donald Trump.

00:39:10.240 And guess what?

00:39:10.700 I suspect most of

00:39:11.420 the people in

00:39:11.940 Washington are

00:39:12.740 pretty personally

00:39:13.300 debauched because

00:39:14.540 they're people and

00:39:15.220 it's a corrupt

00:39:15.660 place and they're

00:39:17.140 often vacuous

00:39:18.180 egotists and 0.70

00:39:19.340 they're getting a

00:39:19.740 lot of adulation

00:39:20.340 and they're away

00:39:20.700 from their

00:39:20.940 families.

00:39:21.580 Just pointing it

00:39:22.500 out for the

00:39:22.920 left.

00:39:23.600 Next time you

00:39:24.400 throw stones,

00:39:26.080 speaking of

00:39:26.580 adultery,

00:39:27.300 next time you

00:39:27.900 throw stones,

00:39:29.860 consider what

00:39:30.400 you are doing.

00:39:31.000 Consider what

00:39:31.340 your side looks

00:39:32.180 like.

00:39:32.860 Before you pull

00:39:34.140 the speck of

00:39:34.760 dirt out of

00:39:35.700 your neighbor's

00:39:36.320 eye, your

00:39:37.140 opponent's eye,

00:39:37.840 maybe pull the

00:39:38.320 plank out of

00:39:39.040 your own.

00:39:40.060 Got to get to

00:39:40.540 a little bit of

00:39:41.040 Epstein because

00:39:41.680 there's some

00:39:42.240 serious Epstein

00:39:43.120 stuff going on

00:39:43.780 over here.

00:39:44.120 Jeffrey Epstein

00:39:47.420 is somehow

00:39:48.120 still in the

00:39:48.800 news.

00:39:49.920 Washington Post

00:39:50.440 is reporting

00:39:50.900 that footage

00:39:51.360 from the camera

00:39:51.960 stationed outside

00:39:52.780 of Epstein's

00:39:53.420 cell during the

00:39:54.520 time that he

00:39:54.920 allegedly committed

00:39:55.600 suicide is

00:39:56.180 apparently unusable.

00:39:59.660 Are you

00:40:00.600 kidding me?

00:40:02.080 To recap,

00:40:03.260 this is what

00:40:04.100 the people want

00:40:05.500 us to believe.

00:40:06.180 This is what

00:40:06.600 the people

00:40:07.020 investigating this

00:40:08.480 whole situation

00:40:09.060 want us to

00:40:09.500 believe.

00:40:10.160 The guy with

00:40:10.720 the worst dirt

00:40:11.380 on the most

00:40:11.780 powerful people

00:40:12.400 in the world

00:40:12.820 just committed

00:40:13.480 suicide.

00:40:14.280 Well, maybe

00:40:14.720 he did.

00:40:15.200 He was under

00:40:15.600 a lot of

00:40:15.960 pressure and

00:40:16.460 he was going

00:40:16.740 to jail for

00:40:17.180 a bad crime.

00:40:17.880 Okay.

00:40:18.440 Except he was

00:40:19.140 taken off of

00:40:19.720 suicide watch

00:40:20.400 just six days

00:40:21.140 after he

00:40:21.800 allegedly tried

00:40:22.740 to commit

00:40:23.040 suicide in

00:40:23.840 the first

00:40:24.160 place.

00:40:24.480 Taken off of

00:40:24.980 suicide watch.

00:40:25.740 Whoops,

00:40:26.120 what a mistake.

00:40:26.960 Then his cellmate

00:40:27.640 was transferred

00:40:28.160 out who could

00:40:28.680 have stopped

00:40:29.060 it or even

00:40:29.480 witnessed it.

00:40:30.360 Then both

00:40:30.820 of the guards

00:40:31.300 who were

00:40:31.540 supposed to

00:40:31.840 be watching

00:40:32.280 him on the

00:40:32.700 night he

00:40:32.900 committed

00:40:33.100 suicide both

00:40:34.100 just happened

00:40:34.580 to fall

00:40:34.900 asleep at

00:40:35.360 exactly the

00:40:35.960 same time and

00:40:36.740 they left him

00:40:37.140 alone for

00:40:37.500 hours and

00:40:37.920 hours.

00:40:38.440 Then an autopsy

00:40:39.100 showed that

00:40:44.120 dropping off a

00:40:44.880 stool and

00:40:45.280 actually cracking

00:40:45.860 your neck much

00:40:46.660 less leaning

00:40:47.160 forward on a

00:40:47.840 bunk bed.

00:40:48.580 It's much more

00:40:49.480 common in

00:40:50.040 strangulation but

00:40:50.980 okay let's just

00:40:51.880 still call it

00:40:52.420 let's still call

00:40:53.500 it suicide.

00:40:54.180 Then there were

00:40:54.520 no cameras

00:40:54.960 pointed inside

00:40:55.580 his cell and

00:40:56.080 now the camera

00:40:56.660 pointed to the

00:40:57.180 outside of his

00:40:57.680 cell wasn't

00:40:59.040 working.

00:40:59.840 What does that

00:41:00.240 even mean?

00:41:00.840 What does it

00:41:01.100 mean the footage

00:41:01.580 was unusable?

00:41:02.520 Does it mean

00:41:02.920 that there was a

00:41:03.380 tech glitch?

00:41:04.120 Does it mean

00:41:04.420 someone switched

00:41:05.020 it off or

00:41:05.800 does it mean

00:41:06.400 someone put a

00:41:07.680 sheet over it?

00:41:08.300 I don't know.

00:41:09.680 All of this as

00:41:10.860 more evidence

00:41:11.360 emerges from a

00:41:12.360 2005 raid on

00:41:13.520 Epstein's

00:41:13.960 compound which

00:41:15.100 found naked

00:41:17.240 underage girls

00:41:17.940 photos of

00:41:18.660 naked underage

00:41:19.240 girls and 0.63

00:41:20.240 phone messages

00:41:20.920 from very

00:41:21.380 powerful people.

00:41:22.760 Couple phone

00:41:23.160 calls from

00:41:23.560 Trump.

00:41:25.040 Couple 0.60

00:41:25.320 couple

00:41:26.860 now actually

00:41:27.560 the Trump

00:41:27.900 ones are at

00:41:28.780 least he has

00:41:29.160 an excuse which

00:41:30.160 is that at

00:41:30.960 exactly this

00:41:31.680 time he alleges

00:41:32.840 that he and

00:41:33.260 Epstein had a

00:41:33.760 falling out over

00:41:34.360 a real estate

00:41:34.880 deal.

00:41:35.580 Whether or not

00:41:36.260 the phone calls

00:41:36.780 were about the

00:41:37.240 real estate deal

00:41:37.840 I don't know but

00:41:39.220 at least he has

00:41:39.860 this one excuse.

00:41:40.880 Other guys don't

00:41:41.400 even have one

00:41:41.880 excuse.

00:41:42.660 George Mitchell

00:41:43.160 Democrat senator

00:41:43.960 phone calls from

00:41:44.840 him phone calls

00:41:45.640 from Harvey

00:41:46.180 Weinstein and

00:41:47.900 lots of messages

00:41:48.820 from underage

00:41:49.540 women asking if 0.85

00:41:50.620 they could come

00:41:51.180 over and give

00:41:51.620 him massages.

00:41:53.100 It would be

00:41:53.980 literally impossible

00:41:54.960 to arrest and

00:41:55.940 question all the

00:41:56.660 powerful guys

00:41:57.200 associated with

00:41:57.880 Epstein.

00:41:58.340 You got two

00:41:58.800 presidents you got

00:41:59.480 a prince you got

00:42:00.180 senators you got

00:42:00.880 foreign dignitaries a

00:42:01.880 lot of powerful

00:42:02.480 people.

00:42:03.760 What about

00:42:04.040 Ghislaine Maxwell?

00:42:05.420 Why is Ghislaine

00:42:06.180 Maxwell not been

00:42:06.860 arrested the madam 0.96

00:42:07.680 who is procuring

00:42:08.420 girls and allegedly

00:42:09.540 abusing them with

00:42:10.920 Epstein?

00:42:11.380 Why is she still 0.99

00:42:12.060 walking around

00:42:12.700 free?

00:42:13.860 That doesn't

00:42:14.500 make a lot of

00:42:14.960 sense.

00:42:15.860 So if the

00:42:16.460 government wants

00:42:16.960 to put conspiracy

00:42:17.680 theories quote

00:42:18.380 unquote to

00:42:18.800 rest that Epstein

00:42:20.060 wasn't just

00:42:20.620 accidentally permitted

00:42:22.340 to kill himself

00:42:23.000 and maybe

00:42:23.340 something else was

00:42:23.900 going on they

00:42:24.720 at least need to

00:42:25.200 bring in Maxwell.

00:42:26.500 If nothing further

00:42:27.540 comes from this

00:42:28.140 case then the

00:42:29.420 story that he

00:42:29.860 was simply

00:42:30.300 accidentally

00:42:30.900 permitted to

00:42:31.460 commit suicide

00:42:31.980 is just not

00:42:33.760 credible.

00:42:35.700 One quick story I

00:42:36.720 got to get to

00:42:37.120 before we go.

00:42:37.860 You remember a few

00:42:38.420 months ago the

00:42:39.120 college board

00:42:39.840 announced an

00:42:40.920 adversity score

00:42:42.040 for test

00:42:43.020 takers so you

00:42:44.380 were going to

00:42:44.680 take the test and

00:42:45.500 then you were

00:42:45.760 going to be

00:42:46.000 scored on your

00:42:46.540 adversity.

00:42:47.440 There was outrage

00:42:48.080 because that was

00:42:48.600 ridiculous.

00:42:49.560 So yesterday they

00:42:50.160 announced they're

00:42:50.620 dropping the

00:42:51.160 adversity score.

00:42:52.060 That's great.

00:42:52.680 Conservatives rejoice

00:42:53.540 except the

00:42:54.380 college board is

00:42:54.960 lying.

00:42:56.220 They did scrap the

00:42:57.020 adversity score but

00:42:58.100 they launched a new

00:42:58.860 version called the

00:42:59.720 landscape program which

00:43:01.020 is the exact same

00:43:01.740 thing as the

00:43:02.140 adversity score.

00:43:02.820 The adversity

00:43:03.200 score was one

00:43:03.860 score on a

00:43:04.740 student's suffering.

00:43:05.860 The landscape

00:43:06.440 program gives you

00:43:07.300 six scores about

00:43:08.720 the neighborhood

00:43:09.140 you grew up in

00:43:09.760 and the high

00:43:10.060 school you went

00:43:10.540 to, median

00:43:11.840 family income in

00:43:12.700 that neighborhood,

00:43:13.240 all that sort of

00:43:13.700 stuff.

00:43:14.360 This is a terrible

00:43:15.360 idea and it's very

00:43:17.080 dishonest.

00:43:17.640 They're saying they

00:43:18.100 got rid of it and

00:43:18.720 they didn't.

00:43:19.900 Now instead of one

00:43:20.580 adversity score you

00:43:21.340 get six.

00:43:22.220 The problem isn't the

00:43:23.120 number of adversity

00:43:23.780 scores, the problem

00:43:24.640 is the concept of

00:43:26.060 adversity scores in

00:43:27.240 the first place.

00:43:28.140 There is no such

00:43:28.840 thing you cannot

00:43:30.060 quantify suffering.

00:43:32.480 You can't do it.

00:43:33.280 I know poor kids who

00:43:34.600 grew up in bad

00:43:36.060 neighborhoods and

00:43:36.760 they had a much

00:43:37.420 better upbringing

00:43:38.060 than rich kids who

00:43:39.180 grew up in rich

00:43:39.860 neighborhoods.

00:43:41.100 I know kids who

00:43:41.880 grew up in great

00:43:42.940 loving homes in

00:43:44.240 poor neighborhoods

00:43:44.880 and I know kids who

00:43:46.060 grew up in really,

00:43:46.860 really rich homes

00:43:47.580 where the father

00:43:48.520 beat the mother 0.96

00:43:49.180 regularly in good

00:43:50.460 neighborhoods.

00:43:51.140 You can't quantify

00:43:52.260 suffering.

00:43:53.400 Everybody suffers.

00:43:54.340 That is a fact of

00:43:55.080 life and it is

00:43:56.000 Marxist claptrap to

00:43:57.660 pretend that suffering

00:43:58.960 can be boiled down to

00:44:00.280 economic conditions.

00:44:02.100 That just is not the

00:44:03.140 case.

00:44:03.800 Suffering is not

00:44:04.580 primarily a factor of

00:44:05.900 your economic

00:44:06.580 circumstances.

00:44:08.060 or your financial

00:44:08.800 circumstances.

00:44:10.880 Actually, usually

00:44:12.020 suffering is a factor

00:44:12.980 of spiritual

00:44:14.160 circumstances and

00:44:16.000 chance.

00:44:17.180 The rain falls on

00:44:18.000 the just and the

00:44:19.020 unjust alike.

00:44:20.240 And by turning a

00:44:21.340 disadvantage into an

00:44:22.500 advantage, you are

00:44:23.500 perverting a culture

00:44:24.380 that should center 0.81

00:44:25.100 around humility and

00:44:26.500 gratitude and you're

00:44:27.520 turning it into one

00:44:28.360 that incentivizes

00:44:29.640 self-pity and

00:44:30.620 entitlement.

00:44:31.280 That is a very bad

00:44:32.260 thing.

00:44:32.540 It's a very bad

00:44:33.120 lesson to teach kids.

00:44:34.020 Also, the entire

00:44:37.280 purpose of the SAT

00:44:38.160 is to standardize a

00:44:40.080 test.

00:44:40.840 The minute you bring

00:44:41.900 in these completely

00:44:43.800 fungible or completely

00:44:45.920 malleable subjective

00:44:47.900 adversity scores, you

00:44:49.900 completely undermine the

00:44:51.520 entire purpose of the

00:44:53.400 SAT.

00:44:54.020 There is nothing

00:44:54.540 compassionate about

00:44:55.380 that.

00:44:55.880 There is nothing

00:44:56.320 right-headed about

00:44:57.060 that.

00:44:57.220 That is the worst

00:44:57.780 lesson to teach kids

00:44:58.760 as they go into

00:44:59.740 college, which don't

00:45:00.680 forget campuses are the

00:45:01.660 future.

00:45:02.660 Look at a college

00:45:03.280 campus.

00:45:04.080 That's the country

00:45:04.600 you're going to get

00:45:05.040 in 20 years.

00:45:06.380 And if we have an

00:45:06.880 epidemic of self-pity

00:45:08.120 and so-called self-love

00:45:09.560 now, which really leads

00:45:10.500 to self-hatred, just

00:45:12.200 imagine how bad it is

00:45:13.460 going to get when we

00:45:14.820 try to measure

00:45:15.680 suffering itself.

00:45:17.260 We so incentivize

00:45:18.200 that even before the

00:45:19.880 kids make it to

00:45:20.540 college.

00:45:21.400 Not a good look for

00:45:22.300 the future of the

00:45:22.740 country.

00:45:23.160 Hopefully they change

00:45:23.760 it.

00:45:24.040 That's our show.
