00:00:30.000 President Joe Biden is furious that the state of Texas has voted to limit abortion,

00:00:35.480 and he is ready to wield the full weight of the federal government to stop it.

00:00:40.520 According to Biden, quote,

00:00:42.360 the Supreme Court's overnight ruling is an unprecedented assault on constitutional rights

00:00:48.360 and requires an immediate response.

00:00:51.160 We will launch a whole of government effort to respond,

00:00:54.540 looking at what steps we can take to ensure that Texans

00:00:58.020 have access to safe and legal abortions.

00:01:01.760 He calls it an overnight decision,

00:01:03.360 as though it was rushed, it was illegitimate somehow.

00:01:06.380 If it were a daytime decision, that'd be fine.

00:01:08.120 This was an ordinary Supreme Court decision

00:01:09.900 to observe that a state is allowed to pass a law

00:01:13.980 and it'll work its way through the courts.

00:01:15.560 It doesn't even rule on the constitutionality of the law.

00:01:17.680 All to kill more babies.

00:01:21.720 That's what all of this is about.

00:01:23.460 All of this outrage, all of this effort to stop some kids from living.

00:01:29.280 Our senile, allegedly devout Catholic president of the United States

00:01:35.780 mustered more energy and clarity of purpose

00:01:38.820 than he has at any point in his presidency,

00:01:41.560 more than any point probably in the last five years,

00:01:44.660 to stop a state from letting kids live.

00:01:50.900 How sick is that?

00:01:52.380 What kind of a psycho is this guy?

00:01:55.600 What kind of a psycho country have we become?

00:01:57.960 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:59.120 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:07.220 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:08.260 My favorite comment yesterday from Zoe Glass, who says,

00:02:11.080 Michael, you have it all wrong.

00:02:12.520 Biden is a genius.

00:02:14.140 He is following in Obama's footsteps

00:02:16.060 by picking a vice president so inept

00:02:18.500 that no one would dare impeach him.

00:02:20.860 I'm sure that's what he was thinking.

00:02:22.860 Part of it was the identity politics.

00:02:24.460 He's had to pick a black woman

00:02:25.720 because he backed himself into that corner.

00:02:27.280 And the only options were Karen Bass,

00:02:29.380 who's actually a communist,

00:02:31.340 or Susan Rice, who was the fall man on Benghazi,

00:02:34.100 or Kamala Harris, who was the first person

00:02:36.460 out of the Democratic presidential primary.

00:02:38.920 But that's actually a bonus for him,

00:02:40.720 at least in the latter.

00:02:41.640 Kamala didn't have a ton of dirt on her

00:02:43.280 in terms of her radicalism.

00:02:44.760 She's just deeply unlikable.

00:02:46.900 And so, yes, it's true.

00:02:47.840 One of the reasons I oppose impeachment,

00:02:49.420 even beyond the constitutional legal arguments,

00:02:51.200 is that I don't want President Harris.

00:02:54.160 That's a good place to be in if you're the president.

00:02:59.000 You know, if you want to hedge your bets,

00:03:02.360 I would strongly recommend you check out Acre Gold.

00:03:05.060 Inflation is through the roof.

00:03:06.540 Everything is more expensive.

00:03:08.060 I'm going to go see my relatives this weekend.

00:03:10.040 I tried to get a hotel.

00:03:10.980 The prices are way, way up.

00:03:12.440 But you know, price of groceries is up.

00:03:14.480 Price of gas is up.

00:03:16.780 Great way to hedge against inflation, physical gold.

00:03:19.820 Right now, Acre will let you start investing

00:03:22.580 in physical gold for as little as $30 a month.

00:03:24.960 Michael, you liar.

00:03:26.100 Hold on, don't call me a liar.

00:03:27.120 Michael, gold is more than that.

00:03:28.720 Stop it.

00:03:29.800 Don't call me a liar.

00:03:31.360 Acre has come up with an ingenious plan

00:03:33.240 to let you invest in physical gold

00:03:45.640 subscription to a five-gram gold bar

00:04:06.920 Thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show.

00:04:09.300 The abortion response is scandalous.

00:04:12.700 It is scandalous that of all of the issues,

00:04:15.300 especially after this absolute chaos pulling out of Afghanistan,

00:04:19.840 especially with inflation going through the roof,

00:04:22.060 especially with all of the domestic problems,

00:04:23.900 the true crisis on the border,

00:04:26.100 millions of illegal aliens flooding across.

00:04:28.540 We have no idea who's coming over,

00:04:31.000 allegedly during a pandemic,

00:04:32.840 but these people aren't even being tested for COVID.

00:04:35.360 Just crisis after crisis after crisis.

00:04:38.020 The only one that has aroused the full energy

00:04:41.420 of the federal government is a little law in Texas

00:04:44.260 that lets some kids live.

00:04:45.900 That's scandalous.

00:04:48.140 That is an impediment to people's understanding of the world.

00:04:54.500 I mean, that's really a big problem.

00:04:56.860 And it's especially scandalous

00:04:58.060 because the president allegedly is a devout Catholic.

00:05:02.520 That's all we hear from the mainstream media.

00:05:04.560 He's a Catholic.

00:05:05.140 He's a devout Catholic.

00:05:06.140 He goes to mass every Sunday.

00:05:08.240 He's such a Catholic.

00:05:09.780 But Catholics are not permitted to support abortion.

00:05:15.120 So Jen Psaki, please explain this for me.

00:05:18.040 What our effort and what the focus of the federal government is,

00:05:21.020 is to look for every resource,

00:05:22.920 every lever at our disposal

00:05:24.060 to ensure women in Texas have the ability to seek health care.

00:05:27.720 Following up on the Texas law,

00:05:29.420 why does the president support abortion

00:05:31.120 when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong?

00:05:34.420 Well, he believes that it's a woman's right,

00:05:37.840 it's a woman's body, and it's her choice.

00:05:39.600 Why does the president,

00:05:40.480 who does he believe then should look out for the unborn child?

00:05:42.820 He believes that it's up to a woman to make those decisions

00:05:45.480 and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor.

00:05:48.120 I know you've never faced those choices,

00:05:50.140 nor have you ever been pregnant,

00:05:51.600 but for women out there who have faced those choices,

00:05:53.860 this is an incredibly difficult thing.

00:05:55.700 The president believes their rights should be respected.

00:05:57.420 Go ahead.

00:05:58.160 I think we've got to move on.

00:05:59.480 So first of all,

00:06:00.260 I've been told by the government for many months now

00:06:02.780 that men can become pregnant.

00:06:04.420 I've been told that it's not just women who get pregnant.

00:06:07.100 Now,

00:06:07.840 there was a lot of confusion over who gets pregnant for many months.

00:06:11.360 Now, all of a sudden,

00:06:12.240 the White House sees it clearly

00:06:13.360 now that the fictional right to abortion is being threatened.

00:06:16.860 But I think Saki just told on herself.

00:06:19.400 I think Saki just gave away the game here.

00:06:21.420 Because did you hear that last sentence that she uttered?

00:06:24.060 She got very emotional,

00:06:26.000 borderline hysterical,

00:06:27.900 wouldn't answer the question.

00:06:28.780 She says,

00:06:29.180 you,

00:06:29.440 you've never been pregnant.

00:06:30.400 You,

00:06:30.820 for women who make this,

00:06:32.460 this is a very difficult choice.

00:06:35.920 Why is it difficult?

00:06:37.920 Why is it a difficult choice?

00:06:40.720 You're telling me

00:06:41.660 that abortion

00:06:42.760 is not

00:06:44.140 the taking

00:06:45.620 of an innocent human life.

00:06:47.680 You've been telling me

00:06:48.880 for a long time,

00:06:50.240 Radical Left,

00:06:51.120 that abortion,

00:06:52.000 it's just the removal of a parasite.

00:06:53.680 It's just a clump of cells.

00:06:55.400 It's no different

00:06:56.820 than getting your appendix removed.

00:06:59.120 So then why is it a difficult choice?

00:07:02.440 If your,

00:07:03.060 if your appendix needs to be removed,

00:07:05.160 if you think that's best for your health,

00:07:06.880 then that's a very easy choice.

00:07:07.980 Remove my appendix,

00:07:08.800 please,

00:07:09.080 easy.

00:07:09.380 It's not,

00:07:09.640 I don't need to worry about that.

00:07:11.020 I won't face trauma

00:07:11.860 after I've done that.

00:07:13.140 Why is abortion different?

00:07:14.620 Why is it a difficult choice?

00:07:16.160 Because you know

00:07:17.560 that it's the ending

00:07:18.500 of an innocent human life.

00:07:20.020 Because we all know it,

00:07:21.200 no matter how much

00:07:21.960 we want to suppress it.

00:07:23.100 We all have this

00:07:24.140 just nagging little feeling,

00:07:26.400 uh,

00:07:26.980 maybe this is different.

00:07:28.400 Why did Hillary Clinton say

00:07:29.620 that abortion should be safe,

00:07:30.720 legal,

00:07:30.920 and rare?

00:07:31.240 Why should it be rare

00:07:31.980 if it's just removing a parasite?

00:07:35.140 If it's just your body,

00:07:36.580 your choice?

00:07:37.840 Because it's not.

00:07:38.760 Because we all know that it's not.

00:07:40.080 It's difficult

00:07:40.900 because it involves

00:07:42.660 people's natural understanding

00:07:47.000 that this is a baby

00:07:47.960 and it is wrong

00:07:48.880 to kill your baby.

00:07:50.560 And it also involves predators

00:07:52.100 such as abortionists,

00:07:53.780 such as the pro-abortion media,

00:07:57.660 such as Joe Biden

00:07:58.920 and Jen Psaki

00:07:59.840 and the liberal establishment

00:08:01.740 and the elected officials

00:08:03.020 who are all preying

00:08:04.520 on the fears and anxiety

00:08:05.980 of women who get pregnant

00:08:07.640 who don't know what to do

00:08:09.200 to just make it all go away

00:08:11.180 or at least pretend

00:08:12.100 to make it all go away

00:08:13.260 by killing their baby.

00:08:14.460 That's why it's difficult.

00:08:16.260 It's a difficult decision

00:08:17.300 because one grapples with

00:08:18.820 one's conscience on the one hand

00:08:20.540 and one's temptations

00:08:21.920 on the other.

00:08:22.520 That's why it's difficult.

00:08:23.920 You're right.

00:08:24.600 You're right, Jen.

00:08:25.460 It is difficult.

00:08:26.460 On the point of Joe Biden

00:08:28.000 being Catholic,

00:08:29.660 what she is admitting here

00:08:30.880 is that Joe Biden

00:08:31.600 is not a practicing Catholic.

00:08:34.480 To be a practicing Catholic,

00:08:36.260 you cannot support abortion.

00:08:38.940 When she says,

00:08:40.660 well, look,

00:08:41.060 yeah, Joe's Catholic,

00:08:41.820 but he believes

00:08:42.360 that a woman has the right

00:08:43.640 to kill her baby.

00:08:45.120 She is admitting

00:08:46.640 he's not a practicing Catholic.

00:08:47.840 And I know there's some confusion

00:08:49.040 on this point

00:08:49.760 among,

00:08:50.720 certainly among the left,

00:08:51.480 but even among conservatives

00:08:52.900 and they'll say,

00:08:54.040 well, Michael,

00:08:54.620 you're just gatekeeping religion.

00:08:56.280 Well, Michael,

00:08:56.800 you're just nitpicking.

00:08:57.860 Well, what?

00:08:58.360 You're holier than thou.

00:08:59.640 You're saying that

00:09:00.220 someone can't be a Catholic

00:09:01.820 if they don't agree

00:09:02.560 with every single thing.

00:09:06.620 The Catholic faith

00:09:07.900 is different

00:09:08.800 than some other faiths.

00:09:10.620 In that,

00:09:11.340 the Catholic faith

00:09:12.160 is an incarnational faith

00:09:14.720 that says that

00:09:15.840 there are real obligations

00:09:17.480 and those real obligations

00:09:19.620 will be defined

00:09:21.060 by real people

00:09:22.020 in a real church

00:09:23.140 that has real authority

00:09:24.880 to make you do certain things.

00:09:28.060 And if you don't do certain things,

00:09:29.940 then that church,

00:09:31.500 that real place

00:09:32.520 led by real people,

00:09:33.620 including a real pope,

00:09:34.840 has the authority

00:09:36.420 to define

00:09:37.320 that you are not

00:09:38.720 practicing the faith.

00:09:40.660 What I mean by that

00:09:42.020 is this.

00:09:44.220 You've got to do certain things.

00:09:45.680 There are real sacraments.

00:09:46.940 You've got to,

00:09:47.320 you actually do have to go to mass

00:09:48.420 on Sunday,

00:09:48.860 but that's not enough.

00:09:49.580 You also have to go to confession.

00:09:51.420 That's another sacrament.

00:09:52.520 You also have to follow

00:09:53.720 the guidelines

00:09:55.200 of the Catholic church,

00:09:56.280 the moral demands

00:09:58.760 of the Catholic faith.

00:10:00.560 And some are more demanding

00:10:02.900 than others.

00:10:03.960 So one objection

00:10:05.000 I often hear is,

00:10:05.700 well, Michael,

00:10:06.200 but the Catholic church

00:10:07.160 is against the death penalty,

00:10:08.480 which is sort of true,

00:10:09.460 but not totally true.

00:10:10.660 The Catholic church

00:10:11.400 as a prudential matter

00:10:12.200 discourages the death penalty.

00:10:13.620 It says it's inadmissible now.

00:10:15.380 Even that's the most radical language.

00:10:16.660 That's from Pope Francis.

00:10:17.760 Or that practically speaking,

00:10:19.320 it shouldn't be performed

00:10:20.440 in most places.

00:10:22.720 But as Pope Benedict said

00:10:24.000 quite well,

00:10:25.340 there can be a legitimate

00:10:26.200 disagreement among Catholics.

00:10:28.680 Thomas Aquinas

00:10:29.180 defended the death penalty.

00:10:30.400 St. Paul defends

00:10:31.100 the death penalty.

00:10:32.040 Many popes defended

00:10:32.860 the death penalty.

00:10:33.740 Blessed Pope Pius IX

00:10:34.620 carried out many death penalties

00:10:35.980 in the papal states.

00:10:37.120 Obviously,

00:10:38.540 at the very least,

00:10:39.360 there can be difference of opinion.

00:10:40.560 There cannot be

00:10:41.480 a difference of opinion

00:10:42.400 on abortion.

00:10:43.440 For 1900 years,

00:10:45.860 at least,

00:10:46.620 the Catholic church

00:10:47.440 has taught clearly

00:10:49.060 that abortion

00:10:50.140 is not permissible.

00:10:52.820 It is a non-negotiable issue.

00:10:55.580 So Joe Biden

00:10:56.300 has to choose

00:10:57.220 which faith

00:10:58.080 he wants to follow.

00:10:59.080 His Catholic faith

00:10:59.820 that he tries to use

00:11:00.720 to score political points

00:11:01.700 or his progressive faith,

00:11:03.560 which is his actual religion.

00:11:05.160 And before you tell me

00:11:06.240 that a man's religion

00:11:07.540 should have nothing to do

00:11:08.420 with his politics,

00:11:09.220 it should have nothing to do

00:11:09.960 with the way he governs,

00:11:10.740 I will point out

00:11:11.900 a man's gods

00:11:13.400 have everything to do

00:11:14.900 with how he governs.

00:11:16.660 Everybody's got to serve somebody.

00:11:19.280 And so his moral,

00:11:20.820 his ethical,

00:11:21.960 his views of man's relationship

00:11:23.840 to man,

00:11:25.240 to the state,

00:11:25.960 to God,

00:11:26.660 to metaphysics,

00:11:27.600 that is going to define

00:11:28.940 his government.

00:11:30.100 The left knows this.

00:11:31.060 The left told us this

00:11:31.660 in the 1970s.

00:11:32.460 The feminists said

00:11:33.300 the personal is political.

00:11:35.380 Personal choices,

00:11:36.300 decisions,

00:11:36.780 behaviors

00:11:37.060 have a political effect.

00:11:38.780 And conservatives

00:11:39.480 have made fun of them,

00:11:40.200 but they're right.

00:11:41.260 They're right.

00:11:41.900 And they knew it then.

00:11:43.500 They don't want to admit

00:11:44.760 that it's true

00:11:45.340 in this case as well.

00:11:46.540 I think we should all admit

00:11:47.520 that it is right.

00:11:48.660 And we need to question

00:11:51.060 what gods

00:11:52.840 are our leaders serving?

00:11:54.360 What has struck me

00:11:55.360 about all of this,

00:11:56.280 and it was actually a meme

00:11:57.380 from my doppelganger,

00:11:58.480 Rachel Maddow,

00:11:59.040 that showed me this,

00:11:59.940 is that

00:12:00.580 the left really

00:12:03.840 does not understand

00:12:04.620 where we're coming from here.

00:12:05.680 Forget about

00:12:06.240 questions of religion

00:12:07.600 or even the broader

00:12:08.340 ethical questions.

00:12:09.100 I mean,

00:12:09.420 even just on abortion,

00:12:10.420 they have no idea

00:12:11.660 what pro-lifers believe.

00:12:14.340 There was a meme

00:12:14.760 from Rachel Maddow

00:12:15.440 that said,

00:12:15.940 if they make abortions illegal,

00:12:17.680 they should make it illegal

00:12:18.440 for men to desert women

00:12:19.440 after getting pregnant.

00:12:20.340 If women can't back

00:12:21.200 out of pregnancies,

00:12:21.960 men shouldn't be able to either.

00:12:24.520 Yep.

00:12:25.760 Conservatives on the one hand,

00:12:26.920 Rachel Maddow on the other,

00:12:27.940 both agreeing,

00:12:28.680 abolish no-fault divorce.

00:12:29.960 Absolutely.

00:12:30.660 We totally agree with that.

00:12:32.480 Of course we don't think

00:12:33.400 men should be able

00:12:33.980 to abandon women

00:12:34.820 after they have babies.

00:12:36.040 Either they should take

00:12:36.960 a little more precaution

00:12:37.760 before they indulge

00:12:39.620 in certain activities

00:12:40.320 that produce babies.

00:12:41.380 Or once they do that,

00:12:42.620 they should stick by the baby.

00:12:44.020 We all agree with that.

00:12:45.200 The left doesn't even,

00:12:45.940 forget about abortion

00:12:46.500 for a second,

00:12:46.980 the left doesn't even realize

00:12:48.080 that that's how we view

00:12:49.380 human relationships.

00:12:50.940 That that's what we're for.

00:12:53.880 You know,

00:12:55.240 this is the sort of thing

00:12:56.180 that really,

00:12:56.740 really gets your heart going.

00:12:58.320 If you want good heart health,

00:12:59.520 I would strongly recommend

00:13:00.460 you check out Superbeats.

00:13:01.720 If you want to live

00:13:02.340 a long time,

00:13:02.940 you got to keep

00:13:03.400 your ticker working right.

00:13:05.080 And so one thing

00:13:05.840 I would strongly recommend

00:13:06.820 is Superbeats Heart Chews.

00:13:08.740 They combine non-GMO beets

00:13:10.380 with a special ingredient,

00:13:11.880 grapeseed extract,

00:13:13.180 that is unique

00:13:14.040 to Superbeats Heart Chews.

00:13:16.120 It's been the focus

00:13:17.120 of scientific research

00:13:18.200 for years.

00:13:19.120 Grapeseed extract

00:13:19.860 has a high concentration

00:13:21.280 of antioxidants,

00:13:22.680 supports cardiovascular health

00:13:24.080 and overall wellness.

00:13:25.040 The grapeseed extract

00:13:26.020 used in Superbeats Heart Chews

00:13:27.420 has been clinically shown

00:13:29.100 to be two times as effective

00:13:30.480 at supporting normal blood pressure

00:13:32.180 as a healthy lifestyle alone.

00:13:35.080 Healthy blood flow

00:13:36.120 means more energy.

00:13:37.340 It's the way nature intended

00:13:38.220 without all that jittery

00:14:03.020 My doppelganger,

00:14:04.680 Rachel Maddow,

00:14:05.540 highlighted a point

00:14:06.280 that I think we all

00:14:07.380 know implicitly,

00:14:09.360 which is that

00:14:09.900 the left,

00:14:11.240 the pro-abortion people

00:14:12.660 really do not understand

00:14:13.720 where we're coming from.

00:14:14.720 They really think that

00:14:15.440 we just want to punish women.

00:14:16.560 We hate women.

00:14:17.280 We don't want them

00:14:18.000 to have the wonderful,

00:14:18.980 liberating,

00:14:19.580 beautiful choice

00:14:20.160 to kill a baby.

00:14:21.420 And it's all just about

00:14:22.680 being vindictive and mean.

00:14:24.120 We're all just meanies, right?

00:14:25.820 And a friend of mine

00:14:27.400 posted on Twitter yesterday.

00:14:28.660 He said,

00:14:28.980 you know,

00:14:29.520 this Rachel Maddow meme

00:14:30.520 that's going around.

00:14:30.940 It just really shows

00:14:31.980 that neither side

00:14:33.180 understands the other.

00:14:34.260 But I don't think that's true.

00:14:35.720 I don't think that's true.

00:14:36.440 And actually,

00:14:36.900 some research from Jonathan Haidt,

00:14:39.580 the social scientist,

00:14:40.480 kind of backs this up.

00:14:42.460 I agree that the left

00:14:43.680 doesn't understand

00:14:44.260 where we're coming from

00:14:45.080 on abortion.

00:14:47.040 But I think that

00:14:47.860 I do understand

00:14:48.980 where the,

00:14:49.700 and I think we broadly understand

00:14:51.200 where the pro-abortion people

00:14:52.960 are coming from.

00:14:53.520 I get it.

00:14:54.520 You think

00:14:55.280 that if

00:14:57.100 a woman is to be

00:14:58.600 equal and indiscernible

00:14:59.940 from a man,

00:15:00.720 she can't have this

00:15:01.560 natural difference

00:15:03.640 whereby she's the one

00:15:04.680 who can get pregnant

00:15:05.280 and a man can't,

00:15:06.060 even though the left

00:15:06.540 is now sort of denying that also,

00:15:07.920 except when abortion's

00:15:08.620 at an issue,

00:15:09.140 then they know who's pregnant.

00:15:10.720 But they believe that

00:15:11.760 for true gender equality,

00:15:13.860 a woman needs to be able

00:15:14.940 to kill her baby.

00:15:16.580 Or they believe

00:15:17.240 that it's not really a baby

00:15:18.180 if he can't talk

00:15:19.000 or he's not really a baby

00:15:20.040 if he's not fully formed

00:15:21.160 or he's not,

00:15:21.640 he's just a clump of cells.

00:15:23.300 It's not,

00:15:23.860 it's not a big deal.

00:15:24.580 Sure,

00:15:25.560 the clump of cells

00:15:26.380 is genetically distinct

00:15:27.720 and sure,

00:15:28.300 the clump of cells,

00:15:29.180 we were all clumps

00:15:29.720 of cells once

00:15:30.320 and sure,

00:15:31.060 it's a baby,

00:15:32.520 you know,

00:15:32.820 it's at least a pre-baby,

00:15:35.000 but it's not a big deal.

00:15:36.960 Don't worry,

00:15:37.440 he's not going to feel any pain.

00:15:39.060 I get it.

00:15:39.820 I used to support,

00:15:40.560 when I was a teenager,

00:15:41.160 I was pro-abortion.

00:15:42.260 I just assumed,

00:15:43.280 I didn't know anybody

00:15:44.620 who was pro-life.

00:15:45.980 It was the culture we lived in,

00:15:47.040 so I get it.

00:15:47.840 But I don't think

00:15:48.700 we can just say,

00:15:49.240 well,

00:15:49.500 both sides need to

00:15:50.580 understand the other better.

00:15:51.660 I think,

00:15:52.800 I think the conservatives

00:15:53.580 understand the left

00:15:54.340 and I think it is

00:15:55.020 incumbent upon the left

00:15:56.120 to understand the right.

00:15:57.360 It's important for the right

00:15:58.360 to persuade the left

00:16:00.220 and to make our case.

00:16:01.660 And then most importantly of all,

00:16:02.740 it's important for us

00:16:03.300 to wield political power

00:16:04.640 because I don't think

00:16:06.020 the left is going

00:16:06.640 to reconcile with us.

00:16:07.700 I don't think

00:16:08.020 they're going to come around.

00:16:08.700 I don't even think

00:16:09.140 they know what we believe.

00:16:10.380 I don't think

00:16:10.840 they know what they believe.

00:16:12.100 There was a tweet yesterday

00:16:13.100 from Richard Hanania.

00:16:14.280 He's a progressive

00:16:15.040 think tank president.

00:16:16.380 He tweeted out,

00:16:17.260 quote,

00:16:17.960 you can't screen

00:16:18.700 for Down syndrome

00:16:19.500 before about 10 weeks

00:16:20.680 and something like

00:16:21.360 80% of Down syndrome

00:16:22.480 fetuses are aborted.

00:16:23.700 If red states

00:16:24.400 ban abortion,

00:16:25.140 we would see a world

00:16:26.460 where they have

00:16:27.380 five times as many

00:16:28.440 children with Down syndrome

00:16:29.620 and similar numbers

00:16:30.580 for other disabilities.

00:16:33.820 The horror,

00:16:34.860 the horror that

00:16:35.720 people with disabilities

00:16:37.500 might be permitted to live.

00:16:38.780 Could you imagine?

00:16:39.800 Ugh.

00:16:40.260 We'd have to look at them.

00:16:41.260 We'd have to,

00:16:41.620 oh, we might even

00:16:42.440 have to talk to them.

00:16:43.560 Could you imagine?

00:16:44.620 Ugh.

00:16:45.460 They wouldn't all be perfect,

00:16:46.700 you know,

00:16:46.920 like we are.

00:16:47.640 We're so perfect.

00:16:48.840 Not like them.

00:16:49.500 They're defective.

00:16:50.160 They're, ugh.

00:16:51.240 Ugh.

00:16:51.660 Yucky, huh?

00:16:53.000 He goes on.

00:16:53.780 Could be outliers

00:16:54.780 in the whole developed world.

00:16:56.540 There are already

00:16:57.120 negative stereotypes

00:16:58.120 of Americans

00:16:58.720 in these states.

00:16:59.600 Ha, you get it?

00:17:00.220 Ha, ha.

00:17:00.480 They're all retards.

00:17:02.200 Those retard Republicans

00:17:03.520 down in the southern states.

00:17:05.020 Imagine if we had

00:17:05.640 real retards running around.

00:17:06.980 Gosh, that'd be terrible.

00:17:08.040 Got to keep killing

00:17:08.700 them through abortion.

00:17:10.220 One can imagine,

00:17:11.120 he writes,

00:17:12.180 it getting much more extreme.

00:17:13.940 What if they also

00:17:14.580 ban genetic engineering

00:17:15.760 and embryo selection,

00:17:16.760 as we obviously should,

00:17:18.280 you psycho,

00:17:18.760 while other places

00:17:20.320 go ahead?

00:17:21.040 Oh, God,

00:17:21.440 could you imagine?

00:17:22.780 We wouldn't,

00:17:23.520 we wouldn't all

00:17:24.080 just be perfect.

00:17:25.680 We wouldn't all

00:17:26.180 just be perfect.

00:17:27.840 Perfect like Richard,

00:17:28.800 and doesn't he seem

00:17:29.500 perfect to you?

00:17:30.860 Oh, a wonderful specimen.

00:17:33.120 Mentally, physically,

00:17:33.980 and spiritually, right?

00:17:35.680 I don't think so.

00:17:36.720 My friend Spencer Clavin

00:17:37.620 made this point yesterday.

00:17:39.140 We are rightly disgusted

00:17:40.800 by, I mean,

00:17:41.140 this is sick,

00:17:42.220 psycho stuff.

00:17:45.060 This is the norm,

00:17:46.320 okay?

00:17:46.680 This is the norm.

00:17:47.520 Richard Hanania

00:17:48.260 is the norm.

00:17:49.120 Eugenics is the norm.

00:17:52.020 Trying to kill off

00:17:53.060 the weak,

00:17:53.780 trying to kill off

00:17:54.640 people who might

00:17:55.640 have some more

00:17:56.740 visible problems

00:17:57.660 than others,

00:17:58.400 that's the norm

00:17:59.260 in human society.

00:18:00.480 Child sacrifice

00:18:01.180 is the norm

00:18:02.020 in human society.

00:18:04.640 Then,

00:18:05.800 you have,

00:18:07.280 in the Old Testament,

00:18:08.360 you see in Judaism,

00:18:10.020 a turn away

00:18:10.720 from human sacrifice,

00:18:11.800 a taking of the side

00:18:12.560 of the victim

00:18:13.120 rather than of the community

00:18:14.140 that tries to sacrifice

00:18:14.980 the victim,

00:18:15.540 and then you see

00:18:16.040 the fullness of this

00:18:16.940 in Christianity,

00:18:18.300 which says,

00:18:19.200 no,

00:18:20.480 no,

00:18:20.880 we're not doing that.

00:18:21.840 And the reason

00:18:22.480 that we in the West

00:18:23.420 have had a problem

00:18:24.560 with eugenics

00:18:25.320 where every other

00:18:26.360 country on Earth,

00:18:27.120 every other culture

00:18:27.620 on Earth,

00:18:28.080 has not,

00:18:29.520 every other culture

00:18:30.140 on Earth has,

00:18:31.580 and in many cases

00:18:32.160 continues to practice

00:18:32.900 child sacrifice,

00:18:33.700 and we increasingly

00:18:34.380 are practicing

00:18:34.860 child sacrifice.

00:18:36.160 The only thing

00:18:36.780 that has distinguished us

00:18:37.680 is that we are

00:18:39.760 a Christian civilization,

00:18:41.380 or at least we were.

00:18:42.580 Now it would appear

00:18:44.060 that we are not

00:18:44.840 exactly defined

00:18:46.000 by Christianity.

00:18:47.160 Expect more child sacrifice.

00:18:48.780 Expect more psychos

00:18:49.840 like Hanania

00:18:50.740 and Biden

00:18:51.520 and all the rest of them.

00:18:52.960 Meanwhile,

00:18:53.560 speaking of the way

00:18:54.140 they're treating your kids,

00:18:55.580 Dr. Fauci wants

00:18:56.520 to jab your kid

00:18:57.400 with vaccines.

00:18:59.420 Now,

00:18:59.720 we know we've talked

00:19:00.420 about risks

00:19:01.840 from COVID

00:19:02.780 for various groups.

00:19:04.260 Morbidly obese

00:19:05.000 85-year-olds

00:19:06.320 face a greater risk

00:19:07.600 from COVID

00:19:08.120 than perfectly healthy

00:19:09.860 12-year-olds.

00:19:11.360 Actually,

00:19:11.960 it's not even comparable.

00:19:13.340 It's not,

00:19:13.860 the perfectly healthy

00:19:15.260 12-year-olds face

00:19:16.080 virtually no risk,

00:19:18.340 very, very little risk.

00:19:19.880 The 85-year-old faces

00:19:20.920 significantly greater risk.

00:19:21.940 Doesn't matter.

00:19:22.700 Gotta jab your kids.

00:19:24.120 Now that the vaccine

00:19:25.040 has full approval

00:19:25.900 from the FDA,

00:19:27.240 the Pfizer vaccine,

00:19:28.680 would you like to see it

00:19:29.920 mandated for students

00:19:31.200 elsewhere in the U.S.?

00:19:32.660 And,

00:19:33.660 once it's approved

00:19:34.340 for kids under 12,

00:19:36.000 should it be mandated

00:19:36.740 for them too?

00:19:38.920 You know,

00:19:39.540 I know that a lot of people

00:19:40.680 will be pushing back

00:19:41.660 against that,

00:19:42.560 but if you get

00:19:43.460 the imprimatur

00:19:44.300 about the safety

00:19:45.520 and the strong benefit-risk ratio

00:19:48.800 for the children,

00:19:50.100 when that gets established,

00:19:51.440 which I believe

00:19:52.160 it certainly will,

00:19:53.960 by the FDA

00:19:54.840 and the ACIP,

00:19:56.400 I believe that

00:19:57.220 mandating vaccines

00:19:58.460 for children

00:19:59.100 to appear in school

00:20:00.460 is a good idea.

00:20:01.960 And remember,

00:20:02.780 Jake,

00:20:03.420 this is not something new.

00:20:05.460 We have mandates

00:20:06.540 in many places

00:20:07.660 in schools,

00:20:08.780 particularly public schools,

00:20:10.000 that if,

00:20:10.440 in fact,

00:20:11.140 you want a child

00:20:12.040 to come in,

00:20:13.080 we've done this

00:20:13.740 for decades and decades,

00:20:15.200 requiring polio,

00:20:17.080 measles,

00:20:17.760 mumps,

00:20:18.180 rubella,

00:20:19.020 hepatitis,

00:20:19.820 so this would not

00:20:20.780 be something new,

00:20:22.260 requiring vaccinations

00:20:23.540 for children

00:20:24.220 to come to school.

00:20:25.560 So dishonest,

00:20:26.820 so dishonest.

00:20:28.140 Polio,

00:20:29.280 smallpox,

00:20:30.400 all these sorts of

00:20:31.620 diseases

00:20:33.540 that he was told,

00:20:34.420 measles,

00:20:35.000 whatever,

00:20:35.520 these are associated

00:20:36.840 with very negative

00:20:38.280 outcomes for children.

00:20:39.520 Those are diseases

00:20:40.420 that pose

00:20:41.960 a great risk

00:20:42.760 to children.

00:20:43.420 Coronavirus is not.

00:20:45.780 Talk about child sacrifice.

00:20:47.320 The actual argument

00:20:48.640 for vaxxing all the kids

00:20:50.480 is not that it's really

00:20:51.880 going to help the kids out.

00:20:52.800 It's not even that

00:20:53.360 there are no risks

00:20:53.940 to the kids.

00:20:54.380 We know that there

00:20:54.880 are risks to the kids.

00:20:56.000 The CDC and the FDA

00:20:57.240 have admitted that.

00:20:58.920 It's that it'll be better

00:21:00.260 for the old people.

00:21:01.600 It'll be better for us.

00:21:03.360 The kids,

00:21:04.220 I don't know.

00:21:05.020 We're going to take

00:21:05.660 some risks with the kids,

00:21:06.700 but it'll be better for us.

00:21:08.580 Sick.

00:21:09.480 Sick stuff.

00:21:11.020 I believe.

00:21:12.380 The other problem

00:21:12.980 with Fauci suggesting this

00:21:14.580 is he just doesn't

00:21:15.340 have any credibility.

00:21:16.420 One of the defining features

00:21:17.620 of Fauci's career

00:21:18.420 is that he's obsessed

00:21:19.280 with vaccines

00:21:19.920 and he doesn't focus

00:21:20.700 on treatments.

00:21:21.760 There are treatments

00:21:22.440 for coronavirus

00:21:23.120 that have shown some promise,

00:21:24.860 but Fauci has never focused

00:21:26.420 on treatment of illnesses.

00:21:27.460 He's just obsessed

00:21:28.340 with creating vaccines.

00:21:29.460 They did this during AIDS.

00:21:30.640 Fauci put basically

00:21:31.580 no focus

00:21:32.380 on therapeutics,

00:21:34.160 on treatments

00:21:34.840 for AIDS

00:21:36.180 and the consequences

00:21:37.080 of AIDS.

00:21:37.880 He put all of the focus

00:21:38.980 on a vaccine.

00:21:40.200 Here we are,

00:21:40.900 decades and decades later,

00:21:41.880 we still don't have a vaccine

00:21:43.060 and yet people don't die

00:21:44.600 from AIDS

00:21:45.100 virtually ever anymore,

00:21:47.340 at least not for a very,

00:21:48.460 very long time.

00:21:48.940 Why is that?

00:21:49.340 Because of therapeutics

00:21:50.180 because finally,

00:21:51.080 mostly private companies

00:21:52.200 focused on creating

00:21:52.920 treatments for AIDS

00:21:54.120 and that was what

00:21:55.000 allowed people to live.

00:21:56.240 And you're seeing

00:21:56.560 the same idiocy play out now.

00:21:58.360 There have been

00:21:59.300 proposed treatments

00:22:00.740 for coronavirus

00:22:01.440 that have shown

00:22:02.400 some success.

00:22:03.080 I know you're not allowed

00:22:03.580 to really talk about

00:22:04.240 that anymore,

00:22:04.840 but they have shown

00:22:05.560 some success.

00:22:06.680 And in various mixtures,

00:22:08.120 and I'm not favoring

00:22:09.380 one over the other,

00:22:10.260 but people have tried

00:22:11.180 treating coronavirus.

00:22:12.440 My doctor has treated

00:22:13.380 people with the coronavirus.

00:22:15.900 And it's worked out

00:22:17.700 for them.

00:22:18.120 They've recovered

00:22:18.760 even when they were

00:22:19.460 not looking so great.

00:22:21.800 Now,

00:22:22.540 because we have a guy

00:22:24.400 at the head of NIAID

00:22:26.220 who's vaccine obsessed,

00:22:27.720 all the focus

00:22:28.260 is on vaccines.

00:22:28.920 Well,

00:22:29.320 if the guy has

00:22:30.340 a checkered career,

00:22:31.380 if the guy has a record

00:22:32.560 of incompetence

00:22:33.540 and deception,

00:22:35.020 why are we still

00:22:35.760 listening to him

00:22:36.300 about this?

00:22:36.880 I certainly am not.

00:22:38.180 One of the suggested

00:22:40.060 treatments

00:22:41.000 for coronavirus

00:22:42.420 is ivermectin.

00:22:43.980 Are we even allowed

00:22:44.480 to say ivermectin

00:22:46.020 anymore on camera?

00:22:47.940 Joe Rogan came out

00:22:49.360 yesterday.

00:22:49.700 He said,

00:22:50.040 look,

00:22:50.680 I got COVID

00:22:51.380 and then I threw

00:22:52.520 a bunch of stuff at it.

00:22:53.660 You know,

00:22:53.900 this,

00:22:54.240 that,

00:22:54.480 the other thing,

00:22:55.060 ivermectin was one of them.

00:22:56.140 And then I had one bad day

00:22:57.280 and now I feel great.

00:22:58.920 And then all the libs,

00:23:01.140 one,

00:23:01.700 were hoping that he would die,

00:23:02.680 I think.

00:23:03.100 I don't think that's

00:23:04.040 an exaggeration.

00:23:05.900 I'm not saying

00:23:06.500 it was prominent libs,

00:23:07.480 but there were a lot of libs

00:23:08.300 I saw in the comment sections

00:23:09.400 and on Twitter

00:23:09.860 who were saying,

00:23:10.440 yeah,

00:23:10.560 it would serve him right.

00:23:11.340 It would serve,

00:23:11.820 he spread disinformation.

00:23:13.100 I hope he gets the worst

00:23:13.880 he can get.

00:23:16.620 But even the ones

00:23:17.840 who were not wishing

00:23:18.520 that Joe would die

00:23:19.340 or face serious complications

00:23:20.460 were making fun of him.

00:23:21.560 They were making fun of him

00:23:22.660 for taking

00:23:23.660 all these treatments,

00:23:24.920 including ivermectin.

00:23:27.960 Iver,

00:23:28.320 you idiot Joe.

00:23:30.880 You were taking

00:23:31.440 a horse tranquilizer?

00:23:33.680 That's what NPR said.

00:23:34.700 They wrote,

00:23:35.180 quote,

00:23:35.600 the podcast host Joe Rogan,

00:23:37.040 who has dismissed

00:23:37.740 COVID vaccines,

00:23:38.820 said he tested positive

00:23:39.980 and is taking

00:23:40.480 a cocktail

00:23:40.920 of unproven treatments.

00:23:42.940 I think it just got proven,

00:23:43.860 bro.

00:23:44.780 Including ivermectin,

00:23:46.120 a deworming drug

00:23:47.180 for cows

00:23:47.780 that the FDA

00:23:48.440 warns people

00:23:49.120 not to ingest.

00:23:50.600 That's just a lie.

00:23:51.700 That's just fake news.

00:23:52.500 The geniuses over at NPR

00:23:54.300 couldn't even Google

00:23:55.280 ivermectin,

00:23:56.080 which is a drug.

00:23:57.220 I'm not saying

00:23:57.520 it's approved

00:23:57.920 for use in coronavirus.

00:23:59.040 It is an FDA approved

00:23:59.980 drug for human use.

00:24:01.620 Not only that,

00:24:02.540 it has been called

00:24:03.500 in major scientific journals

00:24:05.860 a wonder drug

00:24:07.600 very, very recently.

00:24:11.080 Joe Rogan,

00:24:12.200 that idiot rube,

00:24:14.200 he took the deworming

00:24:15.880 horse drug,

00:24:17.240 ivermectin,

00:24:18.200 and he recovered

00:24:19.660 very, very quickly.

00:24:20.940 Like way quicker

00:24:21.600 than we said

00:24:22.220 that you can recover

00:24:22.820 from this thing.

00:24:23.720 Wow, what an idiot, right?

00:24:25.680 So on this point

00:24:26.300 of ivermectin,

00:24:27.300 I'm not,

00:24:28.480 I am not,

00:24:29.080 talk to your doctors, okay?

00:24:30.420 I'm not saying

00:24:31.300 ivermectin cures coronavirus

00:24:32.720 or anything like that.

00:24:34.440 I am just pointing out

00:24:36.020 that before Trump,

00:24:40.200 before conservatives

00:24:42.080 suggested that maybe

00:24:43.900 ivermectin had

00:24:44.700 antiviral qualities,

00:24:47.180 everyone was calling

00:24:48.340 this thing

00:24:48.960 a wonder drug.

00:24:50.640 I read one abstract

00:24:52.840 from the NIH yesterday.

00:24:54.440 Here's one published

00:24:55.140 in Nature.

00:24:55.720 It's from the Journal

00:24:56.280 of Antibiotics.

00:24:57.880 This was published

00:24:58.460 February 15th, 2017.

00:25:00.420 Ivermectin,

00:25:01.740 enigmatic,

00:25:02.480 multifaceted wonder drug,

00:25:04.420 continues to surprise

00:25:05.800 and exceed expectations.

00:25:07.740 The guy who discovered this

00:25:08.680 won the Nobel Prize,

00:25:09.800 for goodness sakes.

00:25:11.480 2015 Nobel Prize.

00:25:13.000 The drug is in part

00:25:17.160 for suppressing things

00:25:18.480 like lice or suppressing

00:25:19.880 things like worms,

00:25:20.820 but it also has observed

00:25:22.660 antiviral qualities.

00:25:25.100 And as we read yesterday,

00:25:26.080 there have even been

00:25:26.680 some experiments

00:25:27.400 to show its use

00:25:29.380 on coronavirus

00:25:30.120 and that it was effective.

00:25:31.200 Though the question

00:25:31.820 that remains is

00:25:32.480 what would the dosage be?

00:25:33.700 Would the dosage have

00:25:34.360 to be so high

00:25:35.200 that it would be toxic

00:25:36.160 for humans?

00:25:36.780 So maybe that's why

00:25:37.480 we can't suggest it.

00:25:38.300 But to say now

00:25:40.660 that this,

00:25:41.420 what was previously

00:25:42.340 being called a wonder drug

00:25:43.520 that led to a guy

00:25:44.340 winning the Nobel Prize

00:25:45.780 that shows antiviral qualities,

00:25:49.260 now to write it off

00:25:50.560 as just a silly horse dewormer

00:25:52.860 obviously has nothing

00:25:54.980 to do with science.

00:25:56.500 It is a consequence

00:25:58.820 of the orange man being bad.

00:26:01.120 It shows you how grave a threat,

00:26:04.160 a global pandemic,

00:26:05.760 you might say,

00:26:06.520 Trump derangement syndrome is.

00:26:08.300 That we are now

00:26:09.480 mocking and deriding

00:26:11.420 and throwing aside

00:26:12.600 one of the greatest

00:26:13.900 scientific breakthroughs

00:26:15.340 in recent decades,

00:26:16.560 ivermectin,

00:26:18.760 just because

00:26:19.800 some Trump supporters

00:26:21.120 suggested maybe it's good

00:26:22.380 at suppressing viruses.

00:26:25.220 That is really sick.

00:26:27.100 When our lust for vengeance

00:26:29.980 and our lust to own

00:26:32.500 our perceived enemies,

00:26:33.840 and when I say our,

00:26:34.480 I'm not really talking about ours.

00:26:35.680 I'm talking about the left's perception

00:26:37.280 that we are their enemies.

00:26:38.400 When their lust to own us

00:26:40.680 and smack us down

00:26:41.480 is so great

00:26:42.040 that they're going to throw out

00:26:43.260 a great scientific breakthrough.

00:26:45.800 Something has gone seriously sick

00:26:47.620 in the country.

00:26:48.280 TDS, by the way,

00:26:49.060 does not just affect

00:26:50.000 the left,

00:26:51.800 as I pointed out.

00:26:53.220 It affects the right too.

00:26:54.180 Paul Ryan,

00:26:54.820 former Republican Speaker of the House,

00:26:57.040 former rising star

00:26:57.940 in the Republican Party,

00:26:59.320 is making a point

00:27:00.420 to go on TV

00:27:01.340 and still all these months later

00:27:02.720 say,

00:27:03.180 Trump,

00:27:03.760 Trump lost,

00:27:05.160 Biden won.

00:27:06.120 Stop ever saying

00:27:07.340 there was anything wrong

00:27:08.360 with the election,

00:27:09.380 please.

00:27:10.220 Biden won.

00:27:11.340 President Trump lost the election.

00:27:13.440 Joe Biden won the election.

00:27:14.820 It was not rigged.

00:27:15.780 It was not stolen.

00:27:16.900 Donald Trump lost the election.

00:27:18.020 Joe Biden won the election.

00:27:19.100 He exhausted his cases.

00:27:20.700 He exhausted the court challenges.

00:27:22.880 None of them went his direction.

00:27:25.340 And so he legitimately lost.

00:27:26.780 Is there,

00:27:27.040 are there,

00:27:27.460 is there mischief

00:27:28.380 and shenanigans

00:27:29.340 in elections?

00:27:30.500 Sure.

00:27:31.000 Is there fraud?

00:27:31.540 Yes.

00:27:31.880 Was it organized

00:27:33.020 to the extent

00:27:33.840 that would have swung

00:27:34.840 the electoral college

00:27:36.180 in the presidential election?

00:27:37.220 Absolutely not.

00:27:38.460 Absolutely not.

00:27:39.360 Hi, I'm Paul Ryan

00:27:40.220 and I am going to devote

00:27:41.800 as much time and energy

00:27:42.960 as I possibly can

00:27:44.100 to convincing everyone

00:27:46.260 that the Democrat president

00:27:47.980 is totally above board.

00:27:49.740 I,

00:27:50.060 because I'm a Republican.

00:27:51.600 It's weird.

00:27:52.660 It's weird

00:27:53.220 that he would spend

00:27:54.520 so much energy

00:27:55.320 focusing on

00:27:56.920 left-wing talking.

00:27:58.800 Also,

00:27:59.160 one of the things he said

00:27:59.920 is just patently not true.

00:28:02.120 So he says

00:28:02.800 the election was not stolen.

00:28:04.180 I don't know

00:28:04.520 if the election was stolen or not.

00:28:05.940 You're right.

00:28:06.180 He's right.

00:28:06.660 There were court challenges.

00:28:07.700 They didn't present proof.

00:28:08.580 So, okay.

00:28:09.520 Yeah, I don't know.

00:28:10.020 I'm not willing to say

00:28:10.680 the election was stolen.

00:28:11.520 100% definitively

00:28:12.620 the election was.

00:28:13.160 I'm not going to say that.

00:28:14.360 The election for sure

00:28:15.420 was rigged.

00:28:16.540 For sure.

00:28:18.020 That's undeniable.

00:28:19.440 They changed

00:28:19.980 all the election rules

00:28:20.920 in the weeks before the election

00:28:21.960 to favor Democrats

00:28:22.980 and to take away

00:28:24.240 election integrity measures.

00:28:25.440 And in at least one state,

00:28:26.920 they violated

00:28:27.540 the state constitution

00:28:28.700 to do it

00:28:29.520 with the widespread use

00:28:30.600 of mail-in ballots

00:28:31.180 in Pennsylvania.

00:28:32.920 For sure.

00:28:34.100 There was double counting

00:28:34.840 of ballots

00:28:35.200 in just one batch

00:28:35.980 in just one county

00:28:36.600 in Georgia

00:28:36.960 that we only found

00:28:37.820 because conservatives

00:28:38.560 keep raising these questions.

00:28:40.280 So please,

00:28:41.000 Paul Ryan,

00:28:41.880 shut up.

00:28:42.940 I don't,

00:28:44.100 look,

00:28:44.420 you can have your view.

00:28:45.520 I'm not,

00:28:45.840 I don't mean to,

00:28:46.540 I don't want to be disrespectful

00:28:47.680 or uncivil

00:28:48.440 or anything like that.

00:28:50.540 But the questions

00:28:53.140 that people have raised

00:28:53.920 about the 2020 election

00:28:54.840 are perfectly legitimate.

00:28:56.000 The investigations

00:28:57.080 that are still going on

00:28:58.020 have uncovered

00:28:59.120 fairly widespread problems,

00:29:02.080 at least in individual batches

00:29:04.060 and individual precincts

00:29:06.060 and individual counties

00:29:07.160 in states that Joe Biden,

00:29:09.820 according to the official tally,

00:29:10.820 barely won.

00:29:11.400 So,

00:29:14.380 sure,

00:29:15.180 you can have,

00:29:15.960 you're perfectly fine

00:29:17.760 to have your view

00:29:18.520 that the election

00:29:19.600 wasn't stolen

00:29:20.280 and to point out

00:29:21.420 that Trump didn't prove

00:29:22.260 that the election was stolen.

00:29:23.300 Absolutely right.

00:29:25.320 But,

00:29:25.820 if you're not going to

00:29:27.760 help people

00:29:29.060 on your

00:29:31.040 putative side

00:29:32.820 raise legitimate questions

00:29:34.880 and try to fight

00:29:35.800 to make sure

00:29:36.200 that there aren't

00:29:36.820 shenanigans and fraud

00:29:37.880 in the next election,

00:29:39.560 then just do nothing at all.

00:29:41.400 Just sit back.

00:29:43.680 It's so frustrating

00:29:45.260 to me though

00:29:45.900 when people

00:29:46.680 who have

00:29:47.060 built their careers

00:29:48.880 on the support

00:29:49.760 of Republicans

00:29:50.480 and conservatives

00:29:51.280 not only

00:29:53.340 turn their backs,

00:29:54.480 not only

00:29:55.080 step out of the fight,

00:29:57.920 but actively work

00:29:58.900 to undermine

00:29:59.420 those conservatives.

00:30:00.560 Not just when

00:30:01.340 the conservatives

00:30:01.840 are being unjust

00:30:02.540 and crazy,

00:30:03.220 but even when

00:30:03.680 conservatives

00:30:04.000 are raising

00:30:04.460 legitimate questions

00:30:05.440 and pursuing

00:30:06.380 investigations

00:30:07.520 that,

00:30:08.280 one,

00:30:08.780 are uncovering

00:30:09.440 some fraud,

00:30:10.120 but two,

00:30:10.560 are not interfering

00:30:11.340 with the government.

00:30:12.060 It's not a coup d'etat.

00:30:12.940 It's not an insurrection.

00:30:14.660 It's really,

00:30:15.140 really frustrating.

00:30:16.000 I used to really admire

00:30:17.300 Paul Ryan.

00:30:18.240 I used to really admire

00:30:19.180 some of what he was

00:30:19.960 trying to do,

00:30:20.520 at least as it pertained

00:30:21.760 to reforming

00:30:22.440 the administrative state

00:30:23.780 and the entitlement

00:30:24.460 programs.

00:30:26.320 But TDS

00:30:26.800 takes down

00:30:27.640 even the best of them.

00:30:28.460 It's really,

00:30:29.040 really frustrating.

00:30:30.840 Really,

00:30:31.320 really frustrating.

00:30:32.220 There is a big win

00:30:33.160 though.

00:30:33.440 I've got to,

00:30:33.920 I've got to get to

00:30:35.080 before we go.

00:30:35.600 John MacArthur,

00:30:36.560 John MacArthur

00:30:37.280 is a Protestant.

00:30:39.540 I think he's Baptist,

00:30:40.340 a Baptist preacher

00:30:41.100 in California.

00:30:41.740 I've met him,

00:30:42.620 this very,

00:30:43.040 very amiable man.

00:30:45.540 He,

00:30:45.760 he stood up

00:30:47.500 against the COVID lockdowns.

00:30:49.600 He stood up

00:30:50.140 against the local government

00:30:51.660 and the state government

00:30:52.780 and,

00:30:53.440 and he refused

00:30:54.100 to shut down.

00:30:54.620 He referred to his church services

00:30:55.860 as a peaceful protest

00:30:57.000 during the lockdowns.

00:30:58.660 I loved it

00:30:59.500 and he was doing it

00:31:00.300 when other churches

00:31:00.860 wouldn't,

00:31:01.260 even when bishops

00:31:01.840 wouldn't,

00:31:02.180 even when some,

00:31:03.260 some of the parishes

00:31:04.280 in my church

00:31:04.880 wouldn't do it.

00:31:05.600 The Catholic church

00:31:06.380 and he stood up

00:31:07.940 and he was fined

00:31:08.920 and they,

00:31:09.280 and the government

00:31:09.720 tried to shut down

00:31:10.400 his church.

00:31:11.340 Well,

00:31:11.760 he just won a big settlement.

00:31:13.980 The LA County Board

00:31:15.680 of Supervisors

00:31:16.380 is going to pay him

00:31:16.960 400 grand

00:31:17.740 and the state of California

00:31:19.080 is going to pay him

00:31:19.640 400 grand

00:31:20.380 because he had the right

00:31:21.880 to hold his church services

00:31:23.780 and the government

00:31:24.860 had no right

00:31:25.500 to shut him down

00:31:26.340 and he was willing

00:31:27.340 to take the risk

00:31:28.100 and take the fines

00:31:28.860 and now the government's

00:31:29.780 paying up.

00:31:30.400 I love it.

00:31:31.020 Great stuff.

00:31:31.880 Congratulations

00:31:32.240 to John MacArthur.

00:31:33.420 Some really good news

00:31:34.220 this week.

00:31:38.140 of Backstage

00:31:39.600 I think I've told you

00:31:40.180 this before.

00:31:40.700 Instead of just tuning

00:31:43.260 to see us live

00:32:39.240 We'll be right back

00:32:39.880 with the mailbag.

00:32:52.360 Welcome back

00:32:52.980 to my favorite time

00:32:53.640 of the week,

00:32:54.240 the mailbag.

00:32:54.940 First question

00:32:55.500 from Andrew.

00:32:56.700 Michael,

00:32:57.160 love the show,

00:32:58.400 but I must clog

00:32:59.240 your inbox

00:32:59.720 with another

00:33:00.400 relationship question.

00:33:01.780 Sorry.

00:33:02.920 That's all right.

00:33:03.980 This is what I live for.

00:33:05.500 The first part

00:33:06.220 of the show

00:33:06.860 is political philosophy,

00:33:09.760 statecraft,

00:33:10.920 policy,

00:33:12.980 theology.

00:33:13.820 Then the second part

00:33:14.940 during the mailbag

00:33:15.820 is Dr. Phil.

00:33:19.400 I'm just,

00:33:20.380 sometimes Jerry Springer.

00:33:22.220 Okay.

00:33:23.100 This person writes,

00:33:24.660 I'm a Christian guy

00:33:25.900 who didn't plan

00:33:26.560 on being single

00:33:27.160 well into his 30s,

00:33:28.200 but I'm here

00:33:28.780 and I'm second guessing

00:33:29.720 the why and how.

00:33:31.320 My dating life

00:33:32.020 has generally fallen

00:33:32.900 into the following dilemma.

00:33:34.400 Either the gal

00:33:34.980 is physically attractive

00:33:36.000 but largely uninteresting

00:33:37.640 in conversation

00:33:38.580 or the reverse.

00:33:39.760 Interesting and fun

00:33:40.460 to talk to

00:33:40.920 but I'm not attracted

00:33:41.640 to her.

00:33:41.880 What do you think?

00:33:42.620 Am I holding out

00:33:43.260 for an unattainable prize

00:33:44.340 or should I trust

00:33:44.940 that God can bring

00:33:45.680 along someone

00:33:46.280 who I enjoy

00:33:47.180 spending time with

00:33:48.260 and who I think

00:33:50.620 is the hottest woman

00:33:51.300 on two legs?

00:33:51.920 Signed,

00:33:52.300 I'd rather be

00:33:54.160 unhappily single

00:33:54.840 than unhappily married.

00:33:56.360 Well,

00:33:58.480 I will tell you,

00:33:59.220 buddy,

00:34:00.320 this is going

00:34:00.980 to be hard

00:34:01.400 for you to hear.

00:34:03.660 I did marry someone

00:34:05.000 who I enjoy

00:34:05.600 spending time with

00:34:06.400 who I think

00:34:06.760 is very intelligent

00:34:07.540 and interesting

00:34:08.240 to talk to

00:34:08.760 and who I also think

00:34:09.880 is the hottest woman

00:34:10.560 on two legs.

00:34:11.400 It actually did work out

00:34:12.400 for me.

00:34:12.720 I don't think

00:34:13.160 it works out

00:34:13.600 for everybody

00:34:14.080 but it did for me

00:34:15.100 and I don't want

00:34:15.780 to brag

00:34:16.140 but I just want

00:34:16.760 to tell you

00:34:17.140 that is possible.

00:34:18.700 Or you hear Drew

00:34:19.380 talk about his wife

00:34:21.180 and you know,

00:34:22.380 that guy,

00:34:22.780 he sounds like

00:34:23.160 a 16-year-old boy

00:34:24.100 and I think

00:34:24.920 he's a little older

00:34:25.480 than 16 at this point.

00:34:26.940 So it can happen

00:34:28.300 and I think

00:34:28.680 it's important.

00:34:30.220 Of course,

00:34:31.020 looks are going

00:34:31.460 to fade,

00:34:31.960 my friend.

00:34:32.960 Looks are going

00:34:33.400 to fade

00:34:33.740 and also

00:34:34.480 when you're

00:34:36.160 thinking about,

00:34:38.480 well,

00:34:38.560 am I always going

00:34:39.240 to be totally

00:34:40.060 sexually turned to,

00:34:40.960 you know,

00:34:41.100 I'm never going

00:34:41.600 to be sexually

00:34:42.240 attracted to anyone else.

00:34:43.380 People,

00:34:43.920 just men in general

00:34:44.700 are going to be

00:34:45.100 sexually attracted

00:34:45.760 to a lot of things.

00:34:46.920 I mean,

00:34:47.240 that's not going

00:34:48.480 to change.

00:34:49.020 You're going

00:34:49.200 to see a woman

00:34:49.720 walk by

00:34:50.220 and you're going

00:34:50.620 to feel an attraction

00:34:51.820 to her regardless.

00:34:53.940 I mean,

00:34:54.140 you could be dating

00:34:54.780 the hottest woman

00:34:55.440 on planet Earth

00:34:56.100 and you'll still

00:34:56.620 feel an attraction

00:34:57.200 to other women

00:34:57.960 partially because

00:34:59.920 the imagination

00:35:00.780 of man's heart

00:35:01.340 is evil

00:35:01.620 from the beginning

00:35:02.200 and also because

00:35:02.980 men like variety

00:35:03.660 and because men,

00:35:04.400 you know,

00:35:04.600 are just attracted

00:35:05.820 to hot women.

00:35:06.320 That's just how

00:35:06.660 it goes,

00:35:07.020 okay?

00:35:07.480 So,

00:35:08.700 yes,

00:35:09.460 it's important

00:35:09.880 that you find

00:35:10.540 your wife

00:35:11.000 attractive

00:35:11.980 but recognizing

00:35:14.600 that looks

00:35:15.120 will fade

00:35:15.800 over time.

00:35:16.460 It is much,

00:35:17.600 much more important

00:35:18.760 that you guys

00:35:19.860 see eye to eye,

00:35:20.800 that you see the world

00:35:21.700 in a basically

00:35:22.660 similar way,

00:35:23.820 that you have

00:35:24.200 the same idea

00:35:24.740 of what marriage

00:35:25.580 even is.

00:35:26.480 That's a really

00:35:27.040 important one

00:35:27.800 because if you go

00:35:29.080 in with one view

00:35:29.840 of marriage,

00:35:30.460 you know,

00:35:30.620 let's say it's

00:35:30.940 a biblical view

00:35:31.700 of marriage

00:35:32.140 and then the woman

00:35:33.360 goes in with,

00:35:34.080 let's say,

00:35:34.280 a feminist view

00:35:34.980 of marriage,

00:35:35.580 this is,

00:35:36.040 you're just not

00:35:36.540 even getting

00:35:37.020 into the same

00:35:37.520 institution.

00:35:38.160 I mean,

00:35:38.260 that's going

00:35:38.540 to be a really

00:35:38.960 big problem

00:35:39.620 but I would hold

00:35:41.340 out and I think

00:35:42.200 don't fall

00:35:45.400 into the swipe

00:35:46.440 trap,

00:35:47.240 okay?

00:35:47.440 Don't fall

00:35:47.960 into the big

00:35:48.640 city trap

00:35:49.300 of you don't

00:35:51.060 value the women

00:35:52.180 that you are

00:35:52.700 with because

00:35:53.680 you know

00:35:54.560 that there's

00:35:54.980 always going to

00:35:56.460 be a hotter

00:35:56.860 woman on the

00:35:57.360 app.

00:35:58.280 You could be

00:35:58.840 dating the

00:35:59.220 hottest woman

00:35:59.640 in the world

00:36:00.080 but some other

00:36:01.060 woman is going

00:36:01.440 to come along

00:36:01.820 at some point

00:36:02.240 and she's going

00:36:03.080 to be the hottest

00:36:03.480 and okay,

00:36:04.060 so,

00:36:04.920 or you're talking

00:36:05.960 to a woman

00:36:06.360 and you think

00:36:06.680 she's really

00:36:07.060 interesting

00:36:07.420 and she's

00:36:07.840 really cool

00:36:08.240 and you get

00:36:08.560 along but

00:36:09.580 then you meet

00:36:10.440 some other

00:36:10.800 woman and oh

00:36:11.260 my gosh,

00:36:11.800 she shares

00:36:12.820 this passion

00:36:13.380 of yours.

00:36:14.660 This is what

00:36:15.480 happened to my

00:36:16.020 friends in the

00:36:16.500 big cities who

00:36:17.020 didn't leave the

00:36:17.620 big cities.

00:36:18.920 A lot of them

00:36:19.760 got caught in the

00:36:20.880 swipe trap.

00:36:21.420 There's always

00:36:21.740 someone better so

00:36:22.340 I'm not going to

00:36:22.720 invest in the

00:36:23.200 person that I'm

00:36:23.680 with and a lot

00:36:24.720 of what's going

00:36:25.080 to make a

00:36:25.380 relationship and

00:36:26.100 a marriage is

00:36:26.720 going to be

00:36:27.180 shared experience.

00:36:28.820 It's going to be

00:36:29.180 growing together

00:36:30.060 which is going to

00:36:30.740 make you love

00:36:31.280 that person even

00:36:32.120 more and be even

00:36:33.580 more attracted to

00:36:34.320 that person.

00:36:35.620 You hear this

00:36:36.340 sometimes with

00:36:36.800 happily married

00:36:37.360 couples at the

00:36:37.940 end of their

00:36:38.240 lives.

00:36:38.640 They've been

00:36:38.820 married 60 years

00:36:39.560 or something and

00:36:40.020 they'll say I

00:36:40.720 am more attracted

00:36:41.420 to my wife today

00:36:42.120 than I was

00:36:42.600 on the day

00:36:43.380 that we got

00:36:43.680 married.

00:36:44.100 They're not

00:36:44.420 just blowing

00:36:44.800 smoke.

00:36:45.180 That is actually

00:36:45.680 how it works

00:36:46.200 because marriage

00:36:47.080 is a real thing

00:36:47.920 that you're

00:36:48.480 getting into.

00:36:49.440 So do it.

00:36:52.200 Act like a man.

00:36:53.240 You can act

00:36:53.660 like a man.

00:36:54.340 What's the matter

00:36:54.760 with you?

00:36:55.120 Do it.

00:36:55.780 Don't make a

00:36:56.660 mistake but don't

00:36:57.880 hem and haw and

00:36:58.580 keep waiting for

00:36:59.160 the perfect person

00:36:59.880 to come along for

00:37:00.540 the whole rest of

00:37:01.080 your life because

00:37:02.020 then you're going

00:37:02.300 to miss out on

00:37:02.740 marriage.

00:37:03.340 From Emily,

00:37:04.060 dear Michael,

00:37:04.760 I'm going to get

00:37:05.260 a little saucy

00:37:05.880 here with my

00:37:06.260 question.

00:37:06.680 Here we go.

00:37:07.660 I'm newly married

00:37:08.440 and I'm very much

00:37:09.560 enjoying the

00:37:10.080 honeymoon phase

00:37:10.880 if you're picking

00:37:11.560 up what I'm

00:37:12.420 putting down.

00:37:13.340 Okay, okay.

00:37:14.540 It's a great time.

00:37:18.120 This is a family

00:37:18.980 show.

00:37:19.200 I don't know if I

00:37:19.540 can even read

00:37:19.980 this question.

00:37:20.460 All right,

00:37:20.700 whatever.

00:37:21.020 I'll just,

00:37:21.340 that's fine.

00:37:22.240 Maybe close your

00:37:23.120 kids' ears until

00:37:23.640 you hear this

00:37:24.000 question.

00:37:24.560 It's a great

00:37:24.960 time but I want

00:37:25.820 to have more of

00:37:26.580 a dumb and

00:37:27.480 submissive bedroom

00:37:28.680 feel.

00:37:29.540 My husband isn't

00:37:30.400 into the idea

00:37:31.080 though and he

00:37:32.980 says it makes

00:37:33.520 him uncomfortable.

00:37:34.520 I'm not willing

00:37:35.220 to give up on it

00:37:36.020 but he's very

00:37:36.620 adamant it seems

00:37:37.680 in not taking a

00:37:38.660 dumb role.

00:37:40.080 Should he just

00:37:40.700 man up and

00:37:41.380 take the more

00:37:41.920 trad role of

00:37:43.120 being the

00:37:43.560 dominant one

00:37:44.160 in the

00:37:44.360 relationship

00:37:44.800 into the

00:37:45.520 bedroom or

00:37:46.740 are my wants

00:37:47.400 a little much?

00:37:48.440 Sincerely,

00:37:48.940 does S&M

00:37:49.600 stand for

00:37:50.180 saints and

00:37:50.980 merry?

00:37:51.580 Wow.

00:37:52.120 That's actually,

00:37:53.860 rather than

00:37:54.280 being sacrilegious,

00:37:55.100 I think that

00:37:55.480 signature is

00:37:56.780 actually kind

00:37:57.680 of getting to

00:37:58.280 your question

00:37:58.980 which is

00:37:59.960 if I've got

00:38:01.600 these kind of

00:38:02.120 kinky sexual

00:38:02.880 desires,

00:38:03.620 can that be

00:38:04.120 virtuous and

00:38:04.840 good and

00:38:05.380 right or is

00:38:06.060 it always going

00:38:06.640 to be sinful?

00:38:07.220 Yes,

00:38:09.860 your husband

00:38:10.260 is the head

00:38:10.720 of household.

00:38:11.460 Yes,

00:38:11.740 he should be

00:38:12.540 confident and

00:38:14.200 assertive and

00:38:15.260 trad but you

00:38:17.840 don't want it

00:38:18.360 to be sadomasochism.

00:38:21.920 I mean,

00:38:22.100 that's the question,

00:38:22.840 right?

00:38:23.400 S&M,

00:38:24.080 is it saints

00:38:24.460 and merry?

00:38:25.500 Sadomasochism is

00:38:26.240 wrong.

00:38:26.820 It's bad.

00:38:27.340 It's disordered

00:38:28.080 to want to hurt

00:38:29.160 yourself,

00:38:30.720 sadism,

00:38:31.480 or masochism

00:38:32.120 rather,

00:38:32.600 and it's disordered

00:38:33.340 to want to hurt

00:38:34.040 another person,

00:38:34.900 sadism,

00:38:35.360 to get pleasure

00:38:36.560 from the pain

00:38:37.120 of another person

00:38:37.880 and it's

00:38:38.220 especially disordered

00:38:39.100 to want to get

00:38:40.780 pleasure from

00:38:41.480 the pain of

00:38:42.700 your wife.

00:38:43.800 I mean,

00:38:43.960 that's especially

00:38:44.720 disordered.

00:38:46.000 So,

00:38:47.060 I would not

00:38:47.660 do that.

00:38:48.200 I would not

00:38:48.580 feed that

00:38:49.300 particular lust

00:38:50.300 or appetite.

00:38:50.880 Everyone's got

00:38:51.320 some kinks.

00:38:51.960 I mean,

00:38:52.140 everyone's got

00:38:53.180 some weird stuff

00:38:53.780 that they're into.

00:38:54.420 This is why

00:38:55.060 there's a porn

00:38:55.560 for every single

00:38:56.060 thing on the

00:38:56.440 internet but

00:38:57.360 I don't think

00:38:58.360 that it's

00:38:58.960 necessarily a good

00:38:59.800 thing to

00:39:00.900 indulge all of

00:39:02.540 that.

00:39:02.960 Women in particular

00:39:03.660 have these fantasies.

00:39:04.460 This is why

00:39:04.960 there's like

00:39:06.200 chick lit,

00:39:06.740 right?

00:39:06.880 This is why

00:39:07.300 there's their

00:39:07.680 romance novels

00:39:08.360 and Fifty Shades

00:39:09.540 of Grey

00:39:09.820 and all of that.

00:39:10.620 So,

00:39:10.780 I'm not saying

00:39:11.460 that you can't

00:39:12.660 have fun

00:39:13.360 and you can't

00:39:14.380 have the man

00:39:14.900 be a little

00:39:15.200 more assertive

00:39:15.920 but when it

00:39:17.720 gets to the

00:39:18.300 point of

00:39:18.820 like I

00:39:20.020 get a thrill

00:39:21.560 out of causing

00:39:22.560 you real pain

00:39:24.540 or I get a thrill

00:39:26.060 out of being

00:39:26.640 in real pain

00:39:27.300 myself,

00:39:28.520 I would not

00:39:29.340 indulge that

00:39:30.720 too much.

00:39:31.180 That would

00:39:33.460 not be cool

00:39:34.820 with the

00:39:35.140 Saints and

00:39:35.460 Mary,

00:39:35.780 I would

00:39:35.940 imagine.

00:39:36.600 Have fun,

00:39:38.000 have a good

00:39:38.300 time,

00:39:38.680 you don't

00:39:38.860 need to be

00:39:39.300 totally bland

00:39:40.260 but I

00:39:43.000 wouldn't cross

00:39:43.960 that line.

00:39:44.560 I don't think

00:39:45.100 that that's just

00:39:46.760 sort of blowing

00:39:47.260 off a little

00:39:47.660 steam and having

00:39:48.280 fun.

00:39:48.700 I think that

00:39:49.740 is the sort

00:39:50.340 of vice

00:39:52.460 and appetite

00:39:53.360 that is not

00:39:54.600 going to

00:39:55.180 make you

00:39:56.520 happier.

00:39:57.080 I think that's

00:39:57.500 going to get

00:39:57.820 more extreme

00:39:58.540 over time.

00:39:58.980 Just how

00:39:59.520 people who

00:40:00.120 write in

00:40:00.440 about porn

00:40:00.940 they'll say

00:40:01.220 I started

00:40:01.500 looking at

00:40:01.880 porn and

00:40:02.240 I got way

00:40:03.440 more extreme

00:40:04.020 and weird

00:40:04.400 and eventually

00:40:04.840 I was disgusted

00:40:05.540 with it.

00:40:05.820 I think that's

00:40:06.320 kind of what

00:40:06.700 happens there

00:40:07.900 which is why

00:40:08.780 you either

00:40:09.360 turn your

00:40:10.400 desires in a

00:40:11.440 virtuous direction

00:40:11.980 or you turn

00:40:12.540 them toward

00:40:12.880 vice but

00:40:13.400 whichever one

00:40:14.140 you do

00:40:14.420 more of

00:40:14.860 it's going

00:40:15.320 to be

00:40:15.500 easier to

00:40:16.100 do.

00:40:16.360 You're

00:40:16.460 going to

00:40:16.840 ultimately

00:40:17.540 be more

00:40:17.920 inclined

00:40:18.180 to do

00:40:18.380 over time.

00:40:19.060 From

00:40:19.380 Wilson,

00:40:20.620 that actually

00:40:21.420 turned out

00:40:21.720 to be a

00:40:21.980 much more

00:40:22.300 serious

00:40:22.760 answer to

00:40:23.900 a weird

00:40:24.600 frivolous

00:40:25.480 sex question.

00:40:26.220 I didn't

00:40:26.660 expect it

00:40:27.060 going that

00:40:27.360 way but

00:40:27.660 anyway

00:40:27.900 that's my

00:40:28.260 answer.

00:40:28.740 From

00:40:28.860 Wilson,

00:40:29.220 hey Michael,

00:40:29.980 should

00:40:30.140 something be

00:40:30.780 said about

00:40:31.340 the okay

00:40:32.100 white power

00:40:33.360 symbol emoji?

00:40:34.260 The fact that

00:40:34.600 we're even

00:40:34.860 calling the

00:40:35.340 okay sign

00:40:35.820 the white

00:40:36.080 power symbol

00:40:36.520 is so

00:40:36.980 insane.

00:40:38.180 Just curious,

00:40:38.860 I typed it

00:40:39.320 to acknowledge

00:40:39.840 a message

00:40:40.240 from my

00:40:40.540 buddy the

00:40:40.860 other day

00:40:41.180 and I've

00:40:41.380 been

00:40:41.480 regretting

00:40:41.860 my

00:40:42.040 whiteness

00:40:42.980 ever since.

00:40:43.900 Stay

00:40:44.220 woke and

00:40:44.640 enjoy a

00:40:45.020 good smoke.

00:40:45.680 You know,

00:40:46.060 it's funny

00:40:46.380 because it's

00:40:46.940 a joking

00:40:47.420 question but

00:40:48.600 now you

00:40:49.080 actually do

00:40:49.520 have to

00:40:49.760 think twice

00:40:50.180 before doing

00:40:50.680 the a

00:40:51.020 okay,

00:40:51.520 you know,

00:40:51.700 the okay

00:40:52.040 symbol and

00:40:53.040 it's because

00:40:53.480 symbols can

00:40:56.500 change with

00:40:57.260 use.

00:40:57.960 I mean,

00:40:58.260 now to a

00:40:59.260 great many

00:40:59.580 people if I

00:41:00.080 say,

00:41:00.360 hey man,

00:41:01.040 good stuff,

00:41:01.720 great work,

00:41:03.080 many hysterical

00:41:04.860 libs will view

00:41:05.440 that and say

00:41:05.900 that I'm,

00:41:06.420 you know,

00:41:06.660 a Klansman

00:41:07.140 or something

00:41:07.480 like that.

00:41:07.800 I mean,

00:41:07.980 I guess they

00:41:08.280 call me that

00:41:08.680 anyway but

00:41:09.700 this is why

00:41:11.100 we've got to

00:41:11.820 control the

00:41:12.540 symbols.

00:41:13.620 This is why

00:41:14.020 we've got to

00:41:14.320 control the

00:41:14.640 language.

00:41:15.040 This is the

00:41:15.220 whole point of

00:41:15.540 my book

00:41:15.760 Speechless.

00:41:16.800 If you don't

00:41:18.020 then the

00:41:18.260 symbols really

00:41:18.760 will take on

00:41:19.600 different meanings

00:41:20.420 over time and

00:41:21.300 then you've

00:41:21.800 lost the

00:41:23.080 ability to

00:41:23.540 communicate.

00:41:24.160 You've lost

00:41:25.040 your words.

00:41:26.000 You are

00:41:26.200 rendered,

00:41:26.600 you might say,

00:41:27.000 speechless.

00:41:27.700 From Nick,

00:41:28.380 uh-oh,

00:41:29.860 uh-oh,

00:41:30.700 is this,

00:41:31.400 I know Nick

00:41:31.940 is a common

00:41:32.380 name but let's

00:41:33.080 see.

00:41:33.540 Hi Michael,

00:41:34.200 my younger

00:41:34.600 brother has

00:41:35.200 been in a

00:41:35.580 relationship with

00:41:36.220 a woman almost

00:41:36.760 twice his age.

00:41:38.240 He is 23 and

00:41:39.140 she is 39.

00:41:39.940 I've never felt

00:41:40.480 right about the

00:41:41.000 relationship.

00:41:41.700 She has

00:41:41.960 repeatedly lied

00:41:42.760 about her past

00:41:43.380 and only recently

00:41:43.980 did we find the

00:41:44.560 truth about her.

00:41:45.880 He recently

00:41:46.480 proposed to her

00:41:47.220 and still feeling

00:41:47.960 uncomfortable about

00:41:48.860 the situation.

00:41:49.620 We decided to do

00:41:50.200 a background check

00:41:50.820 on her.

00:41:51.080 We found that

00:41:51.540 she's been

00:41:51.860 married twice,

00:41:52.580 has children with

00:41:53.220 both of her

00:41:53.600 ex-husbands.

00:41:54.180 She doesn't have

00:41:54.600 custody of any

00:41:55.240 of her children.

00:41:56.180 She has a lot

00:41:56.580 of debt and has

00:41:57.140 been charged with

00:41:57.780 theft six times.

00:41:58.720 I tried to tell

00:41:59.240 him he's making

00:41:59.720 a mistake but he

00:42:00.680 seems to be blinded

00:42:01.380 by his love for

00:42:02.020 her.

00:42:02.940 Now that he knows

00:42:03.680 that no one in

00:42:04.200 his family supports

00:42:04.880 his marriage,

00:42:05.660 he plans to move

00:42:06.280 away and cut ties

00:42:06.960 with all of us.

00:42:07.780 Is there anything I

00:42:08.580 can do to avoid

00:42:09.140 losing a relationship

00:42:09.840 with my brother?

00:42:10.800 Thank you for your

00:42:11.480 help.

00:42:11.780 I've been a big fan

00:42:12.240 of your show for

00:42:12.660 years.

00:42:12.980 Sincerely,

00:42:13.280 not the same Nick.

00:42:14.160 Okay.

00:42:15.020 Oh, I'm sorry to

00:42:15.800 hear about your

00:42:16.220 problem, man.

00:42:16.920 That's really tough.

00:42:18.240 He obviously should

00:42:19.300 run as fast as he

00:42:20.980 can, not away from

00:42:22.180 you but away from

00:42:22.760 her.

00:42:23.520 There should be a

00:42:24.200 Nick's brother-shaped

00:42:25.160 hole in the wall,

00:42:26.080 you know, when he

00:42:26.520 learns these things.

00:42:27.700 And if you've told

00:42:28.720 him this and he

00:42:29.640 still won't run

00:42:30.380 away, then something's

00:42:31.300 gone a little kooky

00:42:32.080 in his head.

00:42:32.740 And I'm not saying

00:42:34.340 that that is the

00:42:34.860 fault of the family.

00:42:36.280 He's at a really

00:42:37.040 precarious place because

00:42:38.420 in the early 20s,

00:42:41.640 men can go a little

00:42:43.300 crazy.

00:42:43.980 I mean, this is after

00:42:44.860 college age.

00:42:46.000 You're just maybe

00:42:46.700 starting out in your

00:42:47.460 career or your job

00:42:48.600 and you're really

00:42:49.640 unsettled and it's

00:42:50.600 kind of a new thing.

00:42:52.440 And, you know,

00:42:53.760 throughout history,

00:42:54.460 men are taken to

00:42:55.060 flights of fancy in

00:42:55.920 their early 20s.

00:42:56.720 It's just something

00:42:57.340 about the male psyche.

00:42:59.060 And so the hope is

00:43:01.560 that the mistakes you

00:43:02.720 make in your late

00:43:03.440 teens and early 20s

00:43:04.400 will not be, you're

00:43:06.240 going to make mistakes.

00:43:06.940 You're going to do

00:43:07.540 very bad things in

00:43:08.380 those years, most

00:43:10.040 likely.

00:43:10.520 But the hope is that

00:43:11.360 it's not a permanent

00:43:12.100 mistake.

00:43:12.600 And if he gets

00:43:13.080 married, it will be.

00:43:14.660 I mean, this woman

00:43:15.120 might leave.

00:43:15.620 It sounds like she's

00:43:16.420 kind of flighty and

00:43:17.420 dishonest.

00:43:19.040 But I think all you

00:43:20.220 can do is be there

00:43:24.560 for him in the sense

00:43:27.020 that you're presenting

00:43:27.680 him with this

00:43:28.120 information.

00:43:28.660 You still love your

00:43:29.180 brother.

00:43:29.420 You don't want him

00:43:29.840 to go away.

00:43:30.420 But I would not

00:43:31.380 sanction this wedding.

00:43:33.320 I would not show up.

00:43:37.580 I would, hard as that

00:43:38.580 is to say, I don't

00:43:40.140 think I would show up.

00:43:41.840 I'm not 100% on that.

00:43:43.500 I need to know a

00:43:44.440 little bit more about

00:43:45.100 the circumstances, where

00:43:46.600 they are, what they're

00:43:47.540 doing.

00:43:47.720 But I would not support

00:43:50.600 this.

00:43:51.020 I would do everything

00:43:51.860 you can to stop this

00:43:52.960 wedding, short of

00:43:54.560 throwing a burlap sack

00:43:55.800 over him and dragging

00:43:56.700 him away.

00:43:57.080 I would not, I would

00:43:58.340 not go along with

00:43:59.600 this.

00:43:59.860 From Charles.

00:44:00.540 Hey, Michael, you

00:44:01.540 said on your show

00:44:02.260 today, Tuesday, the

00:44:03.420 31st of August, that

00:44:04.720 there is no

00:44:05.200 constitutional grounds

00:44:06.060 for impeachment of

00:44:07.180 Joe Biden, but I

00:44:07.840 disagree.

00:44:08.840 The standard of high

00:44:09.620 crimes and misdemeanors

00:44:10.340 is vague, deliberately

00:44:11.200 so, I think.

00:44:12.180 As we all know, in

00:44:12.980 law, negligence can be

00:44:14.140 criminal.

00:44:14.860 There's plenty of

00:44:15.480 evidence to suggest

00:44:16.280 that Biden ignored all

00:44:17.140 the advice of his

00:44:17.720 military commanders in

00:44:18.600 this botched withdrawal,

00:44:19.540 getting soldiers killed,

00:44:20.520 stranding U.S.

00:44:21.360 citizens behind enemy

00:44:22.200 lines, leaving billions

00:44:22.980 of dollars of high-grade

00:44:23.780 military equipment to an

00:44:25.020 enemy, etc.

00:44:25.940 I agree that mere

00:44:27.500 incompetence is not

00:44:28.260 impeachable, but this is

00:44:29.000 beyond incompetence.

00:44:29.880 This is criminal

00:44:30.440 recklessness.

00:44:31.120 Thanks, love the show.

00:44:32.060 It's a clever argument,

00:44:33.100 but I just don't buy it.

00:44:34.400 I just don't buy it.

00:44:35.140 I don't see what the

00:44:36.100 limiting principle of

00:44:36.840 this would be.

00:44:37.260 I don't see how this

00:44:37.900 would not just be used

00:44:38.800 by every opposition

00:44:40.340 party for every

00:44:41.480 administration to say,

00:44:42.520 look, we're not saying

00:44:43.940 that maladministration is

00:44:45.220 impeachable, but serious

00:44:46.900 maladministration is

00:44:48.220 impeachable.

00:44:48.760 I just don't, I don't

00:44:49.600 buy it.

00:44:50.020 I don't think that's how

00:44:51.420 the clause was

00:44:52.680 understood by the

00:44:53.580 framers or anyone else

00:44:55.380 for that matter at the

00:44:57.020 time of ratification.

00:44:58.660 So I wouldn't go down

00:44:59.480 this road.

00:45:00.480 Yes, we're in an age of

00:45:01.560 largely politicized

00:45:02.900 impeachments that don't

00:45:04.880 even really have a legal

00:45:05.760 basis like the Trump

00:45:06.580 impeachments, but I also

00:45:07.720 don't see the benefit of

00:45:08.560 impeaching Biden.

00:45:09.740 Then we get President

00:45:10.600 Harris.

00:45:10.940 I think that's worse.

00:45:11.720 So I just, I wouldn't go

00:45:13.000 down that road.

00:45:13.700 From Sam, dear Michael,

00:45:15.000 I just started my senior

00:45:16.000 year at Brigham Young

00:45:16.740 University.

00:45:17.380 Being a STEM major at a

00:45:18.560 major, at a majority

00:45:19.740 conservative university, I've

00:45:20.840 been extremely lucky that

00:45:21.660 I've avoided the rampant

00:45:22.500 cancer of wokeness that has

00:45:23.640 invaded most campuses.

00:45:24.700 However, I am in an 1877 to

00:45:27.460 present U.S. history class

00:45:28.460 and it is as woke as they

00:45:29.400 come.

00:45:30.460 I have very specific

00:45:31.280 circumstances that have

00:45:32.480 locked me into this class

00:45:33.380 and this professor so I

00:45:34.280 can't get out of it.

00:45:34.960 What is it, a cute girl or

00:45:35.780 something?

00:45:36.520 Do you have any advice on

00:45:37.520 getting through this social

00:45:38.420 indoctrination course without

00:45:39.540 me getting failed for

00:45:41.060 disagreeing with this

00:45:41.740 reconstruction of history?

00:45:43.200 Loved your book.

00:45:44.020 Glad I was able to finish

00:45:44.860 it before class.

00:45:45.720 I've taken woke history

00:45:47.020 classes before.

00:45:47.920 I mean, one of my senior

00:45:49.060 advisors was a very woke

00:45:50.440 professor who now

00:45:51.520 frequently publicly

00:45:52.360 criticizes me.

00:45:53.440 She also publicly

00:45:54.040 criticizes Ben Sasse who

00:45:55.180 was another student of

00:45:55.980 hers and I think she just

00:45:57.360 like gets a thrill I think

00:45:58.340 out of publicly criticizing

00:45:59.420 her former students.

00:46:00.360 But at the time that I was

00:46:01.400 a student of hers, she was

00:46:02.720 very polite.

00:46:03.260 She knew that I was very

00:46:03.900 conservative.

00:46:04.380 She was fine with it.

00:46:05.460 So I would stick by your

00:46:07.360 guns.

00:46:07.820 I would take his argument

00:46:08.700 seriously, the professor's.

00:46:10.040 I would, if you disagree

00:46:11.100 with him, make your argument

00:46:12.120 seriously.

00:46:12.720 I wouldn't hide your views

00:46:14.280 and if you get a lower grade,

00:46:16.820 you know, that's too bad.

00:46:17.680 That's the cost of having

00:46:19.180 integrity.

00:46:20.060 Okay, last question.

00:46:20.680 Benjamin says, Michael,

00:46:22.200 seeing as the mailbag has

00:46:23.060 become a quasi Dr. Phil

00:46:24.300 show, I thought I'd throw

00:46:25.860 my hat in the ring.

00:46:26.960 I'm 19.

00:46:27.460 I finished my degree in

00:46:28.160 high school and I'm

00:46:29.180 currently doing a year of

00:46:30.480 religious studies.

00:46:31.380 I'm Jewish before I enlist

00:46:32.680 for a whole bunch of

00:46:33.260 years.

00:46:33.940 I didn't date throughout

00:46:34.740 high school since I was

00:46:35.600 always busy, but now I'm

00:46:36.520 wondering if it may be time

00:46:37.480 to start.

00:46:37.940 Sincerely, it's all about

00:46:38.640 the Benjamins.

00:46:39.680 It's all about the

00:46:40.420 Binyamins.

00:46:41.240 Yes, it is time to start,

00:46:43.360 bro.

00:46:44.360 I mean, you're still, you're

00:46:45.420 not over the hill.

00:46:46.020 You're 19, right?

00:46:46.660 So it's not like, oh, I

00:46:48.120 gave up my youth to date.

00:46:49.920 But yeah, you should date.

00:46:51.080 You should date.

00:46:51.560 It's good for a man to date.

00:46:52.940 Better for a man to get

00:46:53.800 married.

00:46:54.380 Sounds like you got a good

00:46:55.300 career, good head on your

00:46:56.680 shoulders.

00:46:57.700 Do it.

00:46:58.220 Absolutely.
