00:00:37.720 Joe Biden is banning seven countries' worth of Africans from entering the country
00:00:42.600 as the new Omicron variant of COVID rages across the continent.
00:00:48.340 The president has cut off travel from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lizotho, Eswatini.
00:00:55.620 And that's actually what I had for dinner last night.
00:00:58.040 Mozambique and Malawi, which might remind some people who can remember all the way back to last year
00:01:04.880 of Donald Trump's travel ban, which Joe Biden called, quote, hysterical xenophobia.
00:01:11.100 Here is how White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to explain away the change of tune.
00:01:16.340 Before Joe Biden was president, he said that COVID travel restrictions on foreign countries
00:01:21.500 were hysterical xenophobia and fear-mongering.
00:01:24.440 So what changed?
00:01:25.860 Well, I would say first to put it in full context, Peter, what the president was critical of
00:01:30.640 was the way that the former president put out, I believe, a xenophobic tweet
00:01:35.400 and how he called what he called the coronavirus and who he directed it at.
00:01:42.380 The president has not been critical of travel restrictions.
00:01:45.980 We have put those in place ourselves.
00:01:47.460 We put them in place ourselves in the spring.
00:01:49.900 But no, he does not believe.
00:01:51.380 He believes we should follow the advice of health and medical experts.
00:01:54.820 That's exactly what he did in putting in place these restrictions over the weekend.
00:01:59.240 Ah, OK.
00:02:00.560 You see, it wasn't what Trump did, but how he did it.
00:02:05.720 The White House is now resorting to the retort your wife makes after a pointless argument.
00:02:10.600 It's not what you said, it's how you said it.
00:02:13.840 Pretty weak sauce for a simple case of hypocrisy that stretches all the way from South Africa
00:02:18.760 to Waukesha, Wisconsin.
00:02:20.400 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:21.060 It's The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:29.100 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:30.240 My favorite comment yesterday is from the drummer's workshop at Norm's Music,
00:02:35.000 who says,
00:02:36.380 Santa's eggnog probably had some fluoride in it.
00:02:40.600 This in response to, I would imagine, the Norway, Norwegian gay Santa Claus ad.
00:02:48.600 Perhaps, yes, it's hard to explain.
00:02:50.960 Something's in the air, maybe something's in the water.
00:02:53.160 If you want something really delicious to be in the air,
00:02:55.840 I would recommend you check out Thompson cigars.
00:02:58.840 You know what I did last night after I finished my work and we had dinner or cleaned up a little bit?
00:03:03.460 So, I went and I sat outside with a good book.
00:03:07.280 I had the fire going inside so I could kind of see it through the window.
00:03:11.400 And I sparked up a stogie and I had a lovely, lovely time.
00:03:17.440 I would recommend that you check that out as well.
00:03:19.340 It's a wonderful way to unwind, especially during the wintertime.
00:03:22.380 And do you know where I get my cigars?
00:03:23.360 I get them from Thompson.
00:03:25.200 And I've gotten them from Thompson Cigar Company since I was 16 years old.
00:03:28.780 And my mother gave me my first box of cigars for Christmas.
00:03:32.780 And she ordered them from Thompson.
00:03:33.920 I really love these guys.
00:03:35.140 They've got amazing stuff.
00:03:36.600 Prices cannot be beat.
00:03:37.680 They've got basically every cigar out there.
00:03:40.380 They've got, if you don't want to commit to a full box,
00:03:42.360 they've got these amazing five-pack samplers.
00:03:44.160 You can try a lot of different stuff.
00:03:45.740 Figure out your flavor.
00:03:46.820 A lot of my favorite brands, Oliva, My Father, Padron, just really top-notch stuff.
00:03:54.280 Right now, sit back, take a break from the craziness with a cigar from Thompson.
00:03:57.640 These guys rarely do offers.
00:03:59.260 Right now, they're offering our listeners 15% off orders over $75 or 20% off orders over $99.
00:04:04.720 To take advantage of these savings, go to ThompsonCigar.com.
00:04:07.620 Use promo code Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, when you're ready to check out.
00:04:11.020 T-H-O-M-P-S-O-N-Cigar.com.
00:04:13.500 Use promo code Knowles.
00:04:14.660 So, Biden bans Africans because of the Omicron.
00:04:19.960 Just one more variant, just a few more days to slow the spread.
00:04:22.980 We're now at 20 months of 15 days to slow the spread, but just a little bit more.
00:04:28.460 And then, don't worry, you can get back to your normal life.
00:04:31.140 People, obviously, are looking at the hypocrisy.
00:04:34.040 They're looking at what seem to be these pointless lockdowns,
00:04:37.520 this unnecessary upending of our way of life.
00:04:39.880 And they're saying, cut it out.
00:04:41.000 We don't want this anymore.
00:04:42.100 We don't want the lockdowns.
00:04:43.040 We don't want the masks.
00:04:43.840 We don't want the mandatory Fauci-ouchy.
00:04:46.060 We don't want you.
00:04:47.080 We don't want you, ruling class.
00:04:48.600 That's why your approval ratings are all in the doldrums right now.
00:04:54.460 Dr. Fauci has a different explanation.
00:04:56.500 The exalted doctor, the highest paid government employee in the federal government,
00:05:00.460 and the most powerful politician in the country,
00:05:04.420 who has survived seven U.S. presidents at this point.
00:05:07.920 Dr. Fauci says the reason people are going after him is not because he keeps changing his mind,
00:05:12.420 and it's not because he's lied, and it's not because he's held on to his power for well over 15 days now,
00:05:19.640 well, you know, coming up on two years.
00:05:21.980 It's because he represents science.
00:05:26.040 There are a lot of Republican senators taking aim at this.
00:05:32.380 That's okay.
00:05:33.460 I'm just going to do my job, and I'm going to be saving lives, and they're going to be lying.
00:05:38.220 It seems another layer of danger to play politics around matters of life and death.
00:05:43.800 Exactly. Exactly. And to me, that's unbelievably bad, because all I want to do is save people's lives.
00:05:53.100 I mean, anybody who's looking at this carefully realizes that there's a distinct anti-science flavor to this.
00:06:02.100 So if they get up and criticize science, nobody's going to know what they're talking about.
00:06:06.460 But if they get up and really aim their bullets at Tony Fauci, well, people could recognize there's a person there.
00:06:13.220 So it's easy to criticize.
00:06:15.280 But they're really criticizing science, because I represent science.
00:06:20.240 That's dangerous.
00:06:21.640 To me, that's more dangerous than the slings and the arrows that get thrown at me.
00:06:26.960 That is dangerous, Dr. Fauci.
00:06:29.140 It is very dangerous when some flunky bureaucrat liar claims to be the vicar of science on Earth,
00:06:37.880 to represent, to stand in for science itself.
00:06:42.900 I gave a speech.
00:06:43.920 You know I hate to say I told you so.
00:06:45.460 I gave a speech probably a year ago now, if not longer ago,
00:06:51.240 where I said that Dr. Fauci considers himself the high pontiff and the priest of progressivism.
00:06:56.440 Instead of wearing a cassock, he wears a lab coat.
00:06:59.400 Instead of a pectoral cross, like a bishop or the pope, he wears a stethoscope,
00:07:04.160 but that he considers himself to be the ultimate authority in our government and very possibly on Earth.
00:07:10.580 And it seems I was right.
00:07:12.820 He is using language here that is a bastardization of the language that a pope might use.
00:07:20.120 It's a pope who will claim, based on apostolic succession,
00:07:25.100 based on the institution of the church on Earth by Christ himself,
00:07:29.780 that he is the supreme pontiff, the vicar of our Lord.
00:07:34.780 Dr. Fauci, who I suspect would mock those sorts of claims,
00:07:39.640 as religious views don't seem exactly orthodox,
00:07:43.080 Dr. Fauci is making even more audacious claims with regard to his role in science.
00:07:50.880 I am, I represent science.
00:07:54.600 And I'm, look, I'm just trying to save people's lives.
00:07:56.620 I'm going to save people's lives and those Republican senators are going to lie.
00:08:00.140 Ha ha ha.
00:08:00.880 The arrogance.
00:08:03.320 Far, far more delusional, far more arrogant than anything,
00:08:07.280 any right-wing religious person has ever said.
00:08:09.740 And you saw at the end, he laughs.
00:08:12.820 He goes, ha, who cares what those senators say?
00:08:14.660 They want me out of my job, those duly elected representatives of the people.
00:08:18.460 Ha ha ha.
00:08:19.620 Whatever.
00:08:20.140 Who cares what they say?
00:08:21.120 I'm just going to keep doing my job.
00:08:22.360 And the laughing is warranted because he is more powerful than the senators.
00:08:27.560 In the constitutional system that the framers and the founders envisioned,
00:08:32.400 probably Dr. Fauci would not be more powerful than U.S. senators.
00:08:35.700 But in reality, he is.
00:08:38.400 Senators are going to come and go,
00:08:39.900 Dr. Fauci is going to remain.
00:08:41.180 Presidents are going to come and go.
00:08:42.900 Dr. Fauci is going to remain.
00:08:45.120 They can do their damnedest to get him out of office.
00:08:47.940 It's not going to do anything.
00:08:51.280 These public health officials are unhinged.
00:08:54.680 Some apparently even less hinged than Dr. Fauci.
00:08:58.860 The Canadian indigenous health expert employed by the Canadian government
00:09:05.940 has just lost her job after being exposed for lying about her Native American ancestry for her whole career.
00:09:14.440 So this woman, she became the nation's top voice on indigenous Native health.
00:09:25.040 And now she has been kicked out of her government job and her university professorship because she lied about it.
00:09:32.580 She initially said that she was a member, I think, of the Metis tribe.
00:09:36.160 And then she said that she was also Anishinaabe and Tlingit.
00:09:40.880 And her story kept changing and she kept becoming even more and more Native.
00:09:45.560 And then she would wear Native clothing.
00:09:47.840 And then it turned out that she's just a regular white lady.
00:09:51.500 So she took a job from a Native American.
00:09:56.380 Presumably that job would have gone to a Native American in our identity politics culture.
00:10:00.880 And she claimed to be Native American for her whole career and then she was exposed.
00:10:05.940 Much like Elizabeth Warren who did exactly the same thing.
00:10:09.220 And a number of other people too.
00:10:11.780 Rachel Doll has all did this for black people and there have been others.
00:10:14.760 There was an NYU professor, I believe, who was a white lady, Jewish lady, pretended to be black.
00:10:21.500 The reason I bring this up is not just to make fun of these lunatic women like the Canadian doctor and Elizabeth Warren and all the rest of them.
00:10:30.040 The reason I bring it up is because we are told that some races are oppressed and some races are privileged.
00:10:39.580 And we're told that basically white people are privileged and everyone else is oppressed and especially Native Americans and indigenous people.
00:10:46.280 They're the most oppressed of all.
00:10:47.480 But the reality seems to be the opposite.
00:10:53.640 Because the white people are pretending to be Native American.
00:10:59.380 If being Native American meant that you were oppressed, if being white meant that you were privileged by the law, even by society today, just standards and mores, then it would go in the other direction.
00:11:10.900 Native people would pretend to be white.
00:11:13.540 White people, everyone would pretend to be white because that's how you get the privilege.
00:11:16.420 And people want privilege, don't they?
00:11:19.840 Or they want to be able to claim victimhood when actually victimhood confers a certain privilege.
00:11:24.580 It confers social currency.
00:11:28.040 Gets back to something we've been talking about for a number of days now, which is that when you scapegoat somebody, when you say straight white men are the cause of every problem in the world, you are scapegoating.
00:11:39.760 But you don't know that you're scapegoating.
00:11:41.800 The people who are doing this, the libs, actually think they're just on the side of justice.
00:11:45.460 They're on the side of the oppressed.
00:11:46.880 They're on the side of the victims.
00:11:49.140 But they're not.
00:11:50.400 They're not.
00:11:51.380 And I think that you see more proof of this every single day.
00:11:55.180 But as long as kooky white ladies put on headdresses and frizz their hair to make them look more African, as long as that is a social phenomenon, then our sense of who is oppressed and who is privileged is backwards.
00:12:09.520 And that's just the way it goes.
00:12:12.020 And you see this not just in some looney tunes from the Canadian health ministry.
00:12:16.200 You're seeing this all the way up to the White House, which has a lot of problems these days, not the least of which is the economy.
00:12:24.400 So when you want to take advantage of the current economic situation, I would recommend you check out American Financing.
00:12:31.020 There is still time to make a positive impact on your budget before year end as mortgage rates remain near money-saving lows.
00:12:37.460 Now, you might be thinking, why?
00:12:40.220 My mortgage, it's fine as it is.
00:12:42.600 Well, maybe you should be asking, how can my mortgage work for me?
00:12:46.320 And that answer can be found in American Financing, America's home for home loans, because they give sound advice.
00:12:52.540 They don't pressure you.
00:12:53.520 Instead, their salary-based mortgage consultants get to know you so they can lead you to greater overall savings.
00:13:00.760 It could be as simple as finding a shorter loan term or consolidating debt because there is more to a refinance than just a lower rate.
00:13:07.760 And through this, they save customers up to $1,000 a month.
00:13:13.720 So why don't you see what they can do for you?
00:13:15.800 Call 800-685-5696.
00:13:19.420 That is 800-685-5696.
00:13:23.920 Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
00:13:32.040 Joe Biden is not going to visit the families of the victims of the Waukesha terrorist attack,
00:13:39.140 where a black nationalist guy intentionally drove his SUV into a bunch of, I guess, mostly white people
00:13:46.540 and injured dozens of them and killed half a dozen of them.
00:13:50.200 Joe Biden's not going to go visit those families.
00:13:52.640 He's barely going to acknowledge it.
00:13:54.840 Peter Doocy in the White House briefing room asked Jen Psaki.
00:13:57.240 He said, hey, Jen, why isn't the president going to acknowledge or go spend some time with the victims of this terrible attack in Wisconsin?
00:14:07.660 Here's her answer.
00:14:08.900 Since the president said that this administration is monitoring the situation and walk a shot closely,
00:14:13.720 it has been revealed by prosecutors that the assailant swerved his truck side to side as part of an intentional act to run over as many people as possible.
00:14:23.080 Six people are dead.
00:14:24.440 Some children remain hospitalized.
00:14:26.340 Why hasn't the president visited the members of this Christmas parade attack?
00:14:30.380 Well, I would say, first, as you saw the president convey last week, our hearts go out to this community, to the people in Waukesha that we've been in touch, obviously, with officials there.
00:14:41.120 And we're all watching as people are recovering.
00:14:43.800 And this is such a difficult time of year for this to happen.
00:14:46.840 It's difficult any time.
00:14:47.980 Obviously, any president going to visit a community requires a lot of assets, requires taking their resources.
00:14:54.840 And it's not something that I have a trip previewed at this point in time.
00:14:58.980 But we remain in touch with local officials.
00:15:01.000 And certainly, our hearts are with the community as they've gone through such a difficult time.
00:15:05.820 Takes a lot of resources for him to get out there.
00:15:08.880 And so it's just not a good idea.
00:15:11.060 You know, it's just but, you know, we're monitoring it.
00:15:13.880 So so he but he can't go in person.
00:15:15.800 That would be crazy.
00:15:17.980 You know, he went to George Floyd's funeral.
00:15:21.520 He went and you might say, well, he wasn't president then, but he was running for president.
00:15:26.340 He was going to be the nominee.
00:15:29.620 This was in June of 2020.
00:15:31.500 It was allegedly the height of the coronavirus pandemic when ordinary Americans were not allowed to even hold funerals for their dead loved ones.
00:15:39.520 And George Floyd got a special exemption from this because he became a secular saint.
00:15:44.680 So so canonized by the media.
00:15:47.120 And then Joe Biden showed up there and he even spoke at the funeral.
00:15:51.780 He was he was running for president, was going to become the president.
00:15:56.420 He was a former vice president.
00:15:58.840 He was a former senator of many decades.
00:16:00.780 So it wasn't logistically, it wasn't tough to do that for George Floyd.
00:16:05.140 But it's it's too difficult for Joe Biden now to go visit the families of not just the family of a career criminal who was killed while committing a crime and resisting arrest under circumstances that will be debated for many years to come.
00:16:20.100 And no, no, no, he can't go visit the families of the six dead people.
00:16:24.920 And one of the victims was a child and the dozens of other people who were injured killed in a terror attack by a black nationalist.
00:16:35.080 Can't go visit them.
00:16:36.140 It's too logistically.
00:16:37.540 It's too.
00:16:37.720 No, it's not.
00:16:38.860 It's not.
00:16:39.340 But it does get back to this point of oppression and privilege, because the left's narrative is that white people are bad and black people are good and all black people are good and all white people are bad.
00:16:50.000 And the greatest scourge, the most pervasive evil in the country is white supremacy.
00:16:54.900 And so the George Floyd event, the George Floyd killing, did really didn't even didn't fit that narrative, but they made it fit that narrative.
00:17:04.540 George Floyd became this innocent guy who was doing absolutely nothing wrong.
00:17:08.640 And the officer became a vicious white supremacist, even though there was really no evidence of that.
00:17:13.080 And so it fit that narrative, whereas what happened in Waukesha doesn't fit that narrative because the guy there just looking at his social media appears to hate white people.
00:17:21.040 He espouses black nationalist rhetoric, Hebrew Israelite rhetoric.
00:17:25.320 That's the kooky group that believes that black people are real Jews and the Jews are evil.
00:17:30.140 And according to the evidence that we have, he was swerving to hit people with his car.
00:17:34.520 He wasn't trying to avoid them.
00:17:35.480 He was actually gunning to hit people.
00:17:37.960 So that narrative doesn't fit.
00:17:39.580 And so he's not going to show up.
00:17:40.740 And a lot of politicians don't want to talk about it because the minute that that you suggest that the left's narrative on race or sex or whatever isn't correct, you're accused of being a bigot or a racist or a phobe or whatever stupid word they're going to call you.
00:17:59.480 And so a lot of politicians, even Republicans, don't want to touch it.
00:18:03.180 They say, ah, better just to sit back here and let's just move on and let's just ignore it.
00:18:06.980 One politician who's not just going to ignore it, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
00:18:12.420 Is that how it works?
00:18:13.400 The SUVs, they just drive by themselves?
00:18:15.740 This just kind of happened?
00:18:17.060 And they say, oh, this was a big accident.
00:18:19.240 You never actually hear the discussion about who committed this.
00:18:24.500 What was the motivation?
00:18:26.480 This guy was a career criminal, let out on, didn't really have any bail basically, should not have even been on the street, had clear anti-white animus.
00:18:36.980 And this was an intentional act.
00:18:38.860 And it seems like, you know, for corporate press, they're more apt to characterize a parent who goes to a school board meeting to protest bad policies as a domestic terrorist than somebody who intentionally rams an SUV into a crowd of innocent people.
00:18:54.420 And we'll see what the actual motivation was.
00:18:57.700 It very well may have been in response to what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:19:01.680 And you have to wonder if that's the case.
00:19:04.360 Almost assuredly, this guy's view of Rittenhouse was was colored by all these media lies.
00:19:10.260 This press conference was basically perfect.
00:19:17.080 It was written, if you had the most sophisticated Hollywood slash Washington, D.C. writer to hit every single point you need to hit, he probably couldn't have done a better job than what you just saw there in that press conference.
00:19:33.580 Because DeSantis is getting the attack for what it was.
00:19:39.040 He's demonstrating the courage to talk about it, to talk about crime, first of all.
00:19:45.080 A lot of Republicans now are running away from talking about crime.
00:19:47.680 They want to talk about criminal justice reform and letting the criminals out of prison.
00:19:51.280 Up to and including Donald Trump, who did that.
00:19:53.360 I love Donald Trump.
00:19:54.260 But even he made a big legislative effort to let criminals out of prison.
00:19:59.200 DeSantis is saying, no, we need to put more criminals in prison.
00:20:01.700 Should never have been out in the first place.
00:20:03.940 He's demonstrating the courage to talk about the left's crazy racial narratives.
00:20:08.220 He's saying, look, this is an anti-white crime by all evidence that we've got.
00:20:12.540 We always talk about anti-blackness in our culture, but we never talk about anti-white discrimination and bigotry.
00:20:20.380 And he's willing to talk about that.
00:20:21.580 Again, you're not supposed to touch that.
00:20:23.660 That's not what the establishment wants you to talk about.
00:20:27.160 DeSantis is willing to do it.
00:20:28.540 And then most important of all, beyond the crime and beyond the left's kooky racial narratives, he's putting it all on the media.
00:20:36.460 He's saying, we'll find out what the motivation was here.
00:20:38.520 But if the motivation was something to do with Kenosha and Kyle Rittenhouse, then the media bears some culpability here.
00:20:46.300 Because the media presented a narrative to unhinged freaks like this guy in Waukesha who probably believed the narrative that Kyle Rittenhouse was a terrible white supremacist and this was a racial attack.
00:21:00.980 And it was just BS from the media.
00:21:02.680 But freaks like the guy in Waukesha aren't going to know that.
00:21:09.280 And so what DeSantis is saying is this crime lives within a context of media corruption.
00:21:21.240 He opens up talking about the corporate media.
00:21:22.800 He closes talking about the corporate media.
00:21:24.780 Really smart.
00:21:25.440 The other thing that DeSantis does here that's really clever is injects himself into the story.
00:21:30.640 Why is the governor of Florida talking about a crime that took place in Wisconsin?
00:21:36.100 Why?
00:21:37.920 How does he do that?
00:21:40.140 I get why he would talk about coronavirus and he's been kind of the leading voice among governors on coronavirus.
00:21:45.200 But how is he going to inject himself into this story in Wisconsin?
00:21:48.560 Well, he's holding a press conference about how Florida supports law enforcement.
00:21:52.940 Right?
00:21:53.200 So that's something that a governor could do.
00:21:54.380 Do we support law enforcement?
00:21:55.400 It was obviously an opportunity.
00:21:57.080 It was bait for the media to show up and then he can smack the media down on this story in Wisconsin.
00:22:01.220 Because it would seem clear to me that Governor DeSantis is eyeing the presidency.
00:22:06.420 It's very clever stuff.
00:22:08.440 He's right on the issue.
00:22:11.120 But he's also playing a pretty clever game in terms of setting himself up to run for president.
00:22:16.440 Now, if Donald Trump runs for president again, probably that's dead on arrival.
00:22:21.700 Probably he clears the field.
00:22:23.020 But if not, he's positioning himself pretty well for a guy who was relatively unknown a couple of years ago.
00:22:29.340 Now, speaking of the media, speaking of the presidency, the libs who run almost the entire media, they know that Joe Biden is not looking so hot.
00:22:40.400 They know that he's his mental acuity, not what it once was, and it was never all that great.
00:22:47.720 They know that physically he's not doing well.
00:22:49.780 His physician just said that he has trouble walking and that sort of thing.
00:22:52.460 They know his approval rating is down in the 30s.
00:22:57.000 Then they look at Kamala Harris.
00:22:59.420 Her approval rating is down in the 20s.
00:23:02.100 Her approval rating as vice president is lower than Dick Cheney's was by the end of his tenure looking over the Iraq war and after he shot that guy in the face.
00:23:11.380 So that's not looking great.
00:23:12.840 So do you know who the desperate media are trying to generate buzz for, a presidential buzz for 2024?
00:23:22.200 This is really, really pathetic.
00:23:26.200 They're trying to make President Pete Buttigieg happen.
00:23:31.380 Now, I don't know if they must have blinders on or something.
00:23:34.240 Maybe they're just getting too much blue light in their eyes, which is why they really ought to check out blue blocks.
00:23:38.820 One of the worst parts about staring at a screen all day is that usually you get a ton of blue light in your eyes and you don't even really notice it.
00:23:45.520 You don't notice it until you block out the blue light and then your eyes feel a little less strained and it can help with anxiety and headaches and all that sort of stuff.
00:23:53.280 This is why I love the Blue Blocks blue light computer glasses.
00:23:58.060 Other brands do not compare to the quality you get from Blue Blocks glasses.
00:24:02.620 Blue Blocks are made in optics laboratories in Australia.
00:24:05.660 They are not mass produced in factories in Asia.
00:24:09.040 And unlike other blue light glass companies, Blue Blocks uses science-backed technology tested to ensure that they work.
00:24:16.700 These glasses come in non-prescription, prescription, and reading options.
00:24:20.500 Blue Blocks also has great products such as the low blue light bulbs, red light therapy devices, and 100% blackout sleep masks, all backed by science.
00:24:30.100 Blue Blocks ship worldwide in rapid time.
00:24:33.840 They have easy returns and exchanges.
00:24:35.900 Trust me, you're going to love it when you block out that blue light.
00:24:38.380 Blue Blocks currently has their Black Friday sale campaign running.

00:25:11.320 I'm not just talking about my books.
00:25:13.060 You all know about Reasons to Vote for Democrats, A Comprehensive Guide.
00:25:16.060 That was my number one Amazon bestselling blank book.
00:25:18.600 Still selling like hotcakes years later.
00:25:20.060 Makes a great stocking stuffer.
00:25:21.100 You know about Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, my number one national bestselling book that just came out this year.
00:25:27.500 That one has words in it, so I appreciate that.
00:25:29.900 This is a totally different genre of book.
00:25:33.100 It's from my colleague Matt Walsh.
00:25:35.100 It's a children's book, and it's called Johnny the Walrus.
00:25:38.720 Johnny the Walrus is an excellent tale of identity and imagination.
00:25:43.120 It's waiting for you to purchase it on Amazon right now.
00:25:45.180 Head over to Johnny the Walrus, J-O-H-N-N-Y, thewalrus.com.
00:25:51.200 Pick up a copy of Matt Walsh's Timely Masterpiece.
00:25:53.660 I have been waiting for this book to come out for a long time.
00:25:55.880 I read the draft of it when Matt wrote it up.
00:25:58.380 It's about a little boy who thinks he's a walrus, and unfortunately, his crazy mother and crazy society indulge him in that delusion.
00:26:08.220 Go check out the book today.
00:26:09.060 We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:26:10.020 Welcome back to the show.
00:26:25.240 The Libs are trying to make President Pete happen, and I assume none of you read these Beltway liberal establishment outlets like The Hill or Politico or anything.
00:26:38.980 That's usually sensible conservative folk who don't work in politics professionally.
00:26:44.400 They don't ever even, I mean, I barely look at them, and I do work in politics professionally, but they're really trying to make Pete happen.
00:26:51.340 So The Hill just linked in the past few days to a Politico playbook piece called Politico Buzz Grows About Buttigieg 2024.
00:27:03.100 Buzz grows, ooh, buzz, buzz, buzz.
00:27:05.540 Okay, well, what's the buzz?
00:27:06.880 What's he pulling at?
00:27:07.660 Later in the piece, they admit that Pete Buttigieg's approval rating is only 38%.
00:27:12.960 So it's not, you think presidential buzz would be what, like 60, 70, 80%?
00:27:19.780 No, it's 38%.
00:27:21.060 He's only relatively buzzy.
00:27:24.600 His approval is only relatively high because all of the other people in the Biden administration are even lower.
00:27:29.480 So the Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, her approval rating is 33%.
00:27:35.780 Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, 30%.
00:27:40.260 Secretary of State Antony Blinken, oh, how's he doing after Afghanistan?
00:27:43.860 29%.
00:27:45.160 And those guys are relatively high compared to the rest of the administration.
00:27:50.660 Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, 26%.
00:27:54.660 White, oh gosh.
00:27:56.700 White House Chief of Staff Ron Claim and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, 25%.
00:28:02.160 This is pathetic.
00:28:05.560 The whole administration on every single issue is underwater.
00:28:12.240 And so Mayor Pete, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, whose next job was Transportation Secretary,
00:28:25.040 and then he immediately took two months paternity leave to, who knows to do what?
00:28:32.780 Not sure exactly what he would be doing during that time.
00:28:36.980 What he wasn't doing was his job as Transportation Secretary during a supply chain crisis.
00:28:42.880 So very rarely does the Secretary of Transportation matter.
00:28:46.760 It's just not one of the hottest jobs in Washington.
00:28:51.080 Once in a blue moon, that job matters.
00:28:53.760 And we just so happen to be living through that blue moon because there is this once-in-a-lifetime supply chain crisis going on.
00:28:59.760 And Pete was absent on the job because he was home chest-feeding his children.
00:29:07.580 Probably the presidential buzz is a mirage.
00:29:12.420 It's probably a fever dream in the minds of desperate liberal swamp creatures
00:29:18.460 who are seeing their chances at 2022 and 2024 disappearing before their very eyes.
00:29:26.380 Probably not going to...
00:29:27.160 He's also completely out of touch.
00:29:30.320 So even beyond his dismal performance on the job
00:29:33.720 and his complete lack of political experience before he got this job,
00:29:38.820 he's also absolutely unlikable and out of touch.
00:29:44.100 Joe Biden, or Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, was just asked on MSNBC
00:29:47.700 about what Americans can do who are struggling at the pump.
00:29:52.380 Don't forget gas...
00:29:53.140 Well, you don't forget because you fill up your cars yourselves.
00:29:56.080 Gas prices are through the roof.
00:29:57.300 In California, they're up to $7 a gallon.
00:30:00.840 Secretary Buttigieg,
00:30:02.500 what do you have to say to Americans who are struggling with the difficult economy
00:30:06.780 and the high energy prices,
00:30:09.520 and it's right around Christmastime,
00:30:10.600 what do you have to say?
00:30:11.540 And Pete Buttigieg says,
00:30:13.140 buy an electric car.
00:30:14.920 It contains incentives to make it more affordable to buy an electric vehicle,
00:30:19.760 up to a $12,500 discount, in effect,
00:30:22.620 for families thinking about getting an EV.
00:30:24.920 Families that, once they own that electric vehicle,
00:30:26.960 will never have to worry about gas prices again.
00:30:29.260 Well, what I would tell them is you should just buy a Tesla.
00:30:34.120 If you're having trouble filling up your Honda Civic,
00:30:37.740 then just go and buy...
00:30:39.300 If you want to buy a Tesla Model X,
00:30:41.420 that used to be $106,000.
00:30:44.420 But now, under the Build Back Better Act,
00:30:46.500 it's only $91,000.
00:30:48.240 So we think this is really going to help Americans.
00:30:51.100 And then, you don't need to worry about gas.
00:30:53.040 Because electricity comes from magic.
00:30:56.620 So it doesn't...
00:30:57.500 It's not...
00:30:58.420 Electricity, you just plug it into the electricity tree,
00:31:01.680 and you never have to pay for it.
00:31:02.600 Is that how...
00:31:02.980 I don't think that's how that works, Mayor Pete.
00:31:05.040 Well, just buy the Model S, then.
00:31:07.040 Then you'll only have to pay $50,000.
00:31:09.120 Okay.
00:31:09.740 I don't think that's going to work, buster.
00:31:12.140 Who is this convincing?
00:31:14.560 Who?
00:31:14.940 Like, what does a Politico reporter,
00:31:18.540 or a Hill reporter,
00:31:19.560 or any other Beltway type,
00:31:21.940 from the liberal establishment,
00:31:23.920 what are they thinking
00:31:24.940 when they listen to this guy
00:31:26.780 and they say,
00:31:27.240 yes, there's the winning ticket
00:31:29.780 for middle America?
00:31:32.000 They don't recognize the chasm
00:31:34.760 between the institutions
00:31:37.680 that they have spent a lot of time in
00:31:39.480 and reality.
00:31:42.760 And part of this is because
00:31:44.320 the elite institutions
00:31:46.260 once played a huge role
00:31:49.000 in shaping the public opinion.
00:31:51.940 And they no longer do that
00:31:54.360 to anywhere near the same degree.
00:31:58.140 The debates in the Yale Political Union,
00:32:01.820 that's the debating club
00:32:02.760 for undergraduates at Yale,
00:32:04.960 they used to be reported
00:32:05.980 in the newspapers the next day,
00:32:07.660 the way it came.
00:32:08.240 Now, that doesn't happen.
00:32:10.580 Okay.
00:32:11.540 And part of this is because
00:32:13.460 all those people
00:32:14.820 who would go to Yale
00:32:17.140 or Harvard or Princeton
00:32:18.120 or whatever,
00:32:18.860 they would end up
00:32:20.380 in the mainstream media,
00:32:22.140 not the alternative media
00:32:23.180 or some of us
00:32:24.100 have been banished,
00:32:25.000 but they would end up
00:32:26.160 in NBC, ABC, CBS,
00:32:29.140 the New York Times,
00:32:29.720 the Washington Post.
00:32:30.560 And all of those
00:32:32.260 legacy media outlets
00:32:33.900 had a lot more influence.
00:32:35.260 And now they don't really anymore
00:32:36.460 and people are looking
00:32:37.120 at different sort of places.
00:32:39.520 Okay.
00:32:39.780 That common culture
00:32:40.580 has been ripped apart.
00:32:41.240 Pete Buttigieg, I think,
00:32:42.920 plays really, really well
00:32:44.360 with a certain type
00:32:45.960 of liberal elite.
00:32:47.540 The kind who went to Harvard,
00:32:49.480 the kind that worked
00:32:50.200 at McKinsey Consulting,
00:32:51.860 the kind that still
00:32:53.180 read the New York Times.
00:32:54.400 He plays pretty well with them.
00:32:57.680 But the Times readership
00:32:59.600 is dwindling.
00:33:01.800 Okay.
00:33:02.260 The cultural prestige
00:33:04.680 of places like Harvard
00:33:06.160 and Yale and Princeton
00:33:07.240 is dwindling.
00:33:09.620 You used to think,
00:33:10.280 oh, wow, these are the
00:33:11.300 great elite institutions.
00:33:12.540 Now you look and you think,
00:33:13.460 oh, Yale, that's the place
00:33:14.360 where that crazy shrieking girl
00:33:15.600 screamed at her professor
00:33:16.540 and said this is not
00:33:17.540 an intellectual place.
00:33:18.340 It's a place of comfort at home.
00:33:20.500 Oh, yeah, Harvard.
00:33:21.620 This is now where all these
00:33:22.640 kooky students are protesting
00:33:24.000 all sorts of nonsense.
00:33:27.160 Oh, yeah, that,
00:33:28.960 oh, McKinsey.
00:33:29.880 What is that?
00:33:31.080 Doesn't play.
00:33:32.220 Does not play.
00:33:33.380 So Mayor Pete,
00:33:34.840 probably not going to play
00:33:35.500 very well.
00:33:35.900 And this is backed up
00:33:37.340 by polling.
00:33:38.040 So there's a new poll out
00:33:39.320 from The Hill
00:33:40.900 and Harris X
00:33:42.000 showing that
00:33:43.580 Vice President
00:33:44.500 Kamala Harris
00:33:45.620 and former First Lady
00:33:47.500 Michelle Obama
00:33:48.180 are currently leading
00:33:50.200 the pack
00:33:50.840 for the presidential nomination
00:33:52.420 in 2024
00:33:53.060 if Joe Biden is out.
00:33:56.340 So you might,
00:33:57.280 you might expect
00:33:58.060 Kamala Harris,
00:33:58.640 even though she's so
00:33:59.200 deeply unpopular,
00:34:01.020 you think,
00:34:01.360 well, she's the vice president,
00:34:02.380 so she's just
00:34:03.120 has better name recognition
00:34:04.580 and she's
00:34:05.200 kind of considered
00:34:06.280 to be the next in line.
00:34:07.720 And Michelle Obama,
00:34:08.920 that's kind of a surprising
00:34:09.720 one, perhaps.
00:34:11.600 The survey was of a little
00:34:12.740 under a thousand
00:34:13.260 registered voters.
00:34:15.180 Harris led all the
00:34:15.980 contenders with a 13%
00:34:17.780 share of support.
00:34:18.760 13, that's all she got,
00:34:19.740 13%.
00:34:20.420 Obama, Michelle Obama
00:34:22.440 followed with 10% support.
00:34:24.380 A poll had a 3.2%
00:34:25.580 margin of error,
00:34:26.320 so they're running
00:34:26.760 neck and neck.
00:34:28.260 Other candidates
00:34:28.900 received 5% or less.
00:34:30.520 That includes Bernie Sanders,
00:34:31.620 Elizabeth Warren,
00:34:32.360 Cory Booker,
00:34:33.680 Mayor Pete,
00:34:35.480 Mike Bloomberg,
00:34:36.180 Andrew Yang.
00:34:37.820 Okay.
00:34:38.780 I don't think
00:34:39.480 Michelle Obama
00:34:40.060 wants to be president.
00:34:41.040 I don't think
00:34:41.340 she's doing the kinds
00:34:42.180 of things that you need
00:34:43.020 to do if you want
00:34:43.960 to be president.
00:34:44.900 I don't think she's
00:34:45.620 shown really any interest
00:34:46.520 in it.
00:34:46.780 She's gotten to live
00:34:47.400 in the White House
00:34:47.880 for eight years.
00:34:49.360 She really did not
00:34:50.580 position herself like,
00:34:51.680 for instance,
00:34:52.140 Hillary did during
00:34:52.880 the Bill administration.
00:34:54.320 During the Clinton
00:34:54.900 One administration,
00:34:56.040 they positioned themselves
00:34:57.120 as two for one.
00:34:58.420 You're going to have
00:34:58.820 co-presidents.
00:35:00.060 Hillary Clinton
00:35:00.640 was going to run
00:35:01.700 the health care policy
00:35:02.600 in the 1990s.
00:35:04.280 There were bumper
00:35:04.860 stickers in the 90s
00:35:05.740 that said,
00:35:06.160 impeach Clinton
00:35:06.780 and her husband.
00:35:08.440 Okay.
00:35:08.940 Michelle wasn't doing that.
00:35:10.280 Michelle Obama
00:35:10.740 was focused on
00:35:11.660 getting kids
00:35:12.740 to eat apples
00:35:14.260 and lunch.
00:35:15.180 Right.
00:35:15.400 She was not doing
00:35:16.400 the sorts of things
00:35:17.080 that would position
00:35:17.900 herself to run.
00:35:19.420 And Kamala Harris
00:35:20.260 is currently at 27%
00:35:21.820 approval rating
00:35:22.400 and 13%
00:35:23.120 in this poll.
00:35:26.320 The Democratic Party
00:35:27.540 is in a lot of trouble
00:35:28.980 if Joe Biden
00:35:29.580 doesn't run
00:35:30.200 in 2024.
00:35:31.500 Now,
00:35:31.700 speaking of women's issues,
00:35:33.000 you've got these two women
00:35:33.960 topping the poll.
00:35:37.040 There is a woman
00:35:38.080 with spina bifida,
00:35:39.960 which is a debilitating condition.
00:35:42.740 She has filed a lawsuit
00:35:44.800 against her mother's
00:35:46.320 former doctor
00:35:47.120 seeking millions of dollars
00:35:49.080 to cover her health care costs
00:35:50.980 on the argument
00:35:52.960 that she should never
00:35:54.300 have been born.
00:35:56.340 So,
00:35:58.200 Evie Tumbez,
00:35:59.260 she's a 20-year-old
00:36:00.260 equestrian show jumper
00:36:02.260 from Lincolnshire,
00:36:03.360 England,
00:36:04.060 is suing
00:36:04.720 general practitioner
00:36:05.840 Dr. Philip Mitchell
00:36:06.800 for wrongful conception.
00:36:09.740 This is according
00:36:10.180 to the Telegraph.
00:36:12.160 She says that the doctor,
00:36:13.680 quote,
00:36:13.940 failed to advise her mother
00:36:15.060 to take folic acid supplements
00:36:16.980 before getting pregnant
00:36:17.860 and she claims
00:36:18.980 this resulted
00:36:19.600 in her birth defect.
00:36:21.060 She further claims,
00:36:21.980 according to the Post,
00:36:22.740 New York Post,
00:36:23.940 that her mother
00:36:24.540 never would have had her
00:36:25.800 if her doctor
00:36:26.980 had informed her
00:36:27.580 that she needed
00:36:28.020 to take folic acid supplements
00:36:29.420 to minimize the chances
00:36:30.640 of the defect
00:36:31.460 affecting her baby.
00:36:34.400 So,
00:36:34.980 she is suing the doctor
00:36:36.300 for allowing her to exist.
00:36:40.720 If the doctor
00:36:41.900 had told the mother
00:36:42.560 to take this supplement,
00:36:43.740 then the mother,
00:36:44.820 it's not even that the mother
00:36:45.580 would have aborted her exactly.
00:36:47.140 She's saying she never
00:36:47.720 would have conceived her
00:36:48.660 in the first place,
00:36:49.540 perhaps.
00:36:50.700 And in any case,
00:36:51.520 the woman is saying,
00:36:52.100 I'm alive
00:36:52.820 and that really offends me
00:36:54.660 so you've got to pay me
00:36:55.460 millions of dollars.
00:36:56.500 This is
00:36:57.420 the logical conclusion.
00:37:00.340 I know it seems
00:37:00.820 very illogical
00:37:01.680 and it is
00:37:03.040 in the grand scheme
00:37:03.580 of things,
00:37:03.960 but this is,
00:37:04.720 in a narrow sense,
00:37:06.080 the logical conclusion
00:37:07.340 of a society
00:37:08.760 that views
00:37:09.820 physical pleasure
00:37:10.820 as the ultimate end.
00:37:13.540 And that's
00:37:13.960 what we do.
00:37:15.040 And a lot of cultures
00:37:16.220 have viewed that,
00:37:17.920 have viewed life that way
00:37:18.840 throughout society.
00:37:19.960 Cultures that practice
00:37:20.780 eugenics
00:37:21.520 tend to do that.
00:37:22.900 Right?
00:37:23.060 If a baby is born
00:37:23.720 with a deformity,
00:37:24.480 kill that baby.
00:37:25.320 The ancient Spartans
00:37:26.360 did that
00:37:26.720 and we do that today.
00:37:27.820 If a baby is conceived
00:37:29.160 and has Down syndrome,
00:37:30.280 now doctors will tell you,
00:37:31.420 hey, we're going to screen
00:37:32.020 for Down syndrome
00:37:32.620 and then you can kill the baby
00:37:34.500 because you don't want
00:37:35.400 a Down syndrome baby.
00:37:36.740 Who would want
00:37:37.220 a retarded baby?
00:37:38.100 That would be terrible,
00:37:38.860 right?
00:37:38.960 It would be the worst.
00:37:39.480 Go kill your baby.
00:37:40.360 That's what they say.
00:37:41.340 That's what they say
00:37:42.020 in the doctor's office.
00:37:44.520 And if you,
00:37:46.160 I remember,
00:37:46.680 because we,
00:37:47.040 you know,
00:37:47.240 we were going through this
00:37:48.000 and when my wife
00:37:48.640 was pregnant,
00:37:49.340 they said,
00:37:49.600 okay,
00:37:49.700 do you want to test
00:37:50.400 for,
00:37:50.760 you know,
00:37:52.200 abnormalities?
00:37:53.320 And we said,
00:37:53.680 absolutely not.
00:37:55.260 I said,
00:37:55.700 well,
00:37:56.220 what do you mean
00:37:56.600 you don't want to test?
00:37:57.180 I said,
00:37:57.920 why?
00:37:58.220 Why would I test?
00:37:59.180 So that I can kill my kid?
00:38:00.420 No,
00:38:00.760 I'm not going to kill my kid
00:38:01.580 either way.
00:38:02.500 So,
00:38:02.800 no,
00:38:03.160 I don't think
00:38:03.440 we want to do that.
00:38:04.900 And they looked at,
00:38:05.700 the doctors look at you
00:38:06.500 like you're crazy.
00:38:08.080 But,
00:38:08.760 societies that view
00:38:09.840 physical pleasure
00:38:10.960 as the ultimate end of things,
00:38:12.240 they don't think
00:38:12.560 there's any higher end
00:38:14.360 in life,
00:38:15.060 they don't think
00:38:15.420 there's any higher justice,
00:38:17.300 any higher virtue
00:38:18.100 than just feeling good.
00:38:19.340 They think
00:38:21.480 that if you've got
00:38:22.000 any kind of suffering
00:38:22.860 or suffering above
00:38:23.780 a certain threshold,
00:38:24.680 then it's better
00:38:25.240 to be dead.
00:38:26.500 But this woman
00:38:27.320 obviously doesn't
00:38:30.260 really believe that
00:38:31.700 in her heart of hearts.
00:38:33.740 Because if she
00:38:34.560 really believed
00:38:35.620 that it were an injustice
00:38:36.820 that she were alive,
00:38:38.680 she would kill herself.
00:38:40.180 And she's not
00:38:41.020 killing herself.
00:38:41.980 She's suing a doctor
00:38:42.940 for millions of dollars
00:38:43.820 for being alive.
00:38:46.280 Well,
00:38:46.540 if you think
00:38:47.060 being alive
00:38:47.540 is such a terrible thing,
00:38:48.460 you can end that right now.
00:38:49.500 You shouldn't.
00:38:50.400 That would be a great sin.
00:38:51.760 But you can.
00:38:53.280 She doesn't really believe it.
00:38:55.280 She doesn't really believe
00:38:56.020 that at all.
00:38:58.920 I'm glad
00:38:59.500 she doesn't believe that.
00:39:00.700 I'm glad
00:39:01.240 that at least
00:39:01.860 at some really
00:39:02.620 basic level,
00:39:04.080 she recognizes
00:39:04.900 the error
00:39:05.740 of her insane
00:39:06.840 view of the world.
00:39:08.580 But then take that
00:39:09.220 to its logical conclusion.
00:39:11.000 Which is that
00:39:11.540 actually suffering
00:39:12.540 isn't the worst thing
00:39:13.340 in the world.
00:39:13.800 Actually physical pleasure
00:39:14.740 isn't the greatest thing
00:39:15.580 in the world.
00:39:16.220 Actually maybe suffering
00:39:17.100 can be sanctifying.
00:39:18.280 Actually maybe
00:39:18.740 there's something
00:39:19.160 higher than physical pleasure.
00:39:21.220 Actually maybe
00:39:22.160 we're made
00:39:23.740 in the image of God.
00:39:24.720 A God who loves us.
00:39:25.460 A God who suffers for us.
00:39:26.520 And maybe
00:39:26.900 there are higher things
00:39:28.760 in this world.
00:39:29.820 Maybe we have a purpose here.
00:39:31.520 And it's not just
00:39:32.140 to feel good.
00:39:32.800 Maybe there's a higher morality
00:39:33.840 than if you feel good,
00:39:34.920 if it feels good,
00:39:35.600 do it.
00:39:37.620 But a lot of people
00:39:38.420 are confused these days.
00:39:39.420 You want to talk
00:39:39.820 about confused women.
00:39:42.060 Demi Lovato,
00:39:43.220 who is
00:39:43.560 a Hollywood celebrity.
00:39:45.060 I don't even really remember
00:39:45.980 what she's known for.
00:39:47.100 But she has
00:39:47.840 gone off the deep end
00:39:48.860 in recent years.
00:39:50.520 She has just gone viral
00:39:52.160 again
00:39:53.560 for
00:39:54.700 spreading all kinds
00:39:57.180 of
00:39:57.580 kooky ideas
00:39:58.580 about aliens
00:39:59.400 and about
00:40:00.780 the universe
00:40:01.900 and about
00:40:03.000 the energy man
00:40:04.160 you know
00:40:04.520 and the vibrations.
00:40:05.780 And people are making fun of her
00:40:07.000 and she's radically changed
00:40:08.340 her appearance
00:40:08.860 in recent years.
00:40:09.800 And she is
00:40:11.280 indulging in all
00:40:12.800 of these strange
00:40:13.680 sexual ideologies
00:40:16.160 and new agey
00:40:18.120 type of
00:40:18.840 religious views.
00:40:20.320 But what's even crazier
00:40:21.680 is that
00:40:23.220 Demi Lovato
00:40:24.180 is no more nuts
00:40:27.000 than your average
00:40:28.900 secular
00:40:29.580 liberal today.
00:40:32.260 Demi Lovato
00:40:32.940 goes on some show,
00:40:33.940 I don't know what show it was,
00:40:34.820 and explains
00:40:35.900 her encounters
00:40:38.060 with the supernatural.
00:40:40.740 I decided to sing for them
00:40:42.320 and
00:40:43.360 they went off
00:40:44.580 when I finished.
00:40:45.360 I never had
00:40:46.140 a standing ovation
00:40:47.860 from ghosts.
00:40:48.760 I love it.
00:40:49.240 But I'd like to think
00:40:50.260 they were standing.
00:40:50.680 The standing ovation
00:40:51.380 with my tios is
00:40:52.300 otra,
00:40:53.420 otra,
00:40:54.260 oh,
00:40:54.800 oh,
00:40:55.000 you've made contact.
00:40:56.940 I have made contact.
00:40:58.520 It's not been in like
00:40:59.740 the
00:41:00.120 E.T.
00:41:01.000 phone home
00:41:01.560 type of sense.
00:41:02.220 But I have made contact
00:41:03.920 by meditating
00:41:05.220 and looking up
00:41:06.620 and seeing things
00:41:07.680 in the sky
00:41:08.380 that weren't there
00:41:09.320 when I started meditating.
00:41:10.820 So now that you've
00:41:11.460 made contact
00:41:12.020 with E.T.s,
00:41:12.880 maybe not this kind
00:41:14.480 of contact,
00:41:15.040 just yet.
00:41:15.820 Not yet.
00:41:16.760 But if there was
00:41:17.480 an E.T.
00:41:19.120 that hit
00:41:20.000 every box
00:41:21.000 of criteria
00:41:21.600 that would be
00:41:22.240 like the most
00:41:22.680 ideal partner,
00:41:23.740 like would you
00:41:24.160 date an E.T.?
00:41:24.840 Yes,
00:41:25.280 absolutely.
00:41:25.880 I'm so tired
00:41:26.700 of humans.
00:41:27.600 I am so tired
00:41:28.780 of humans
00:41:29.260 and their human
00:41:30.240 bulls**t.
00:41:31.040 I am so over it.
00:41:32.660 I love it.
00:41:33.240 Bring me an alien.
00:41:34.260 Bring me an E.T.
00:41:35.640 Yes.
00:41:37.060 So a lot of people
00:41:38.620 watching this
00:41:40.160 are saying,
00:41:41.940 don't do drugs,
00:41:42.520 kids.
00:41:43.220 Not even once.
00:41:44.400 This is your brain
00:41:45.140 on drugs,
00:41:45.760 not even.
00:41:47.680 That's a good argument.
00:41:49.380 But I'll go further
00:41:50.540 than that.
00:41:51.840 I don't think
00:41:52.740 that Demi Lovato
00:41:53.660 is especially nuts.
00:41:56.120 Certainly not
00:41:56.740 by the standards
00:41:57.220 of Hollywood.
00:41:58.020 But I don't even think
00:41:58.740 she's really especially nuts
00:42:00.160 by the standards
00:42:00.820 of our secular
00:42:02.360 liberal culture.
00:42:04.300 I think a lot
00:42:05.080 of people believe
00:42:05.760 the stuff
00:42:06.140 that she believes.
00:42:08.100 I think if you,
00:42:09.260 she might be a little
00:42:09.860 more open about it
00:42:10.860 and she's going
00:42:11.220 on TV shows about it.
00:42:12.500 But I think if you
00:42:13.320 polled
00:42:13.920 your average
00:42:15.700 millennial girl
00:42:17.320 in
00:42:18.420 L.A.
00:42:20.580 or some liberal place
00:42:21.660 and you said,
00:42:23.000 hey,
00:42:23.100 do you believe
00:42:23.540 in aliens?
00:42:26.460 Probably you'd hear,
00:42:27.340 yes,
00:42:27.560 I do believe
00:42:28.000 in aliens.
00:42:29.180 Of course,
00:42:29.660 it's a big universe.
00:42:30.460 We're not so special.
00:42:31.300 Of course,
00:42:31.580 there have to be
00:42:32.000 aliens out there.
00:42:32.900 Okay,
00:42:33.320 do you believe
00:42:33.880 in ghosts
00:42:34.580 and spirits?
00:42:35.500 Oh,
00:42:35.740 yeah.
00:42:36.440 Yeah,
00:42:36.740 man,
00:42:37.060 because I'm not
00:42:37.500 religious.
00:42:39.460 Religion's bad,
00:42:40.240 man.
00:42:40.640 But I'm spiritual.
00:42:42.660 I'm really spiritual.
00:42:44.140 So I don't go to church,
00:42:46.240 but I go to yoga
00:42:47.160 and I meditate
00:42:48.260 and I have crystals
00:42:50.080 and I'm in touch
00:42:51.320 with my horoscope.
00:42:52.580 I'm a Libra
00:42:53.420 with an ascending Scorpio
00:42:55.340 and I was born
00:42:56.560 at the hour
00:42:57.260 of the moon
00:42:57.980 on,
00:42:58.700 and you know,
00:42:59.360 Mercury's in retrograde.
00:43:01.100 So what that means
00:43:01.940 is that the universe,
00:43:03.200 man,
00:43:03.380 is putting out vibes
00:43:04.220 and you'll hear this crap
00:43:05.800 for hours.
00:43:07.040 If you go to a party
00:43:08.260 in L.A.
00:43:09.600 or maybe a little less
00:43:11.320 so in New York,
00:43:11.920 people are slightly
00:43:12.640 more grounded
00:43:13.160 in New York,
00:43:14.200 but Austin,
00:43:15.460 I don't know,
00:43:15.820 San Francisco,
00:43:16.940 you go anywhere
00:43:18.180 where the secular
00:43:21.020 liberal culture
00:43:22.080 is vibrant
00:43:23.820 or as vibrant
00:43:25.920 as it can be,
00:43:27.080 you will hear
00:43:27.960 this kind of stuff.
00:43:29.600 Okay,
00:43:29.960 this watered down
00:43:32.580 New Age weirdness
00:43:34.820 and it reminds me
00:43:36.980 that while
00:43:38.060 the secular liberals
00:43:39.580 believe that
00:43:40.980 religious people,
00:43:41.860 Christians especially,
00:43:43.580 are superstitious,
00:43:45.780 most superstitious people
00:43:46.780 in the world,
00:43:47.120 actually it reminds you
00:43:48.660 we are the least
00:43:50.420 superstitious people
00:43:51.380 in the world.
00:43:52.980 Traditionally,
00:43:53.680 religious people
00:43:54.300 tend to be
00:43:55.060 the least superstitious
00:43:57.500 people in the world
00:43:58.320 because
00:43:59.240 contrary to the
00:44:01.700 spiritual but not
00:44:02.800 religious people,
00:44:03.580 the people who take
00:44:04.280 religion seriously
00:44:05.140 apply rigorous
00:44:06.700 systematic thinking
00:44:07.760 to their religion.
00:44:09.440 Thomas Aquinas
00:44:10.100 was not spiritual
00:44:11.280 but not religious,
00:44:12.120 right?
00:44:12.220 Thomas Aquinas
00:44:12.820 applies rigorous logic
00:44:14.520 to his religious views
00:44:16.180 and discards
00:44:17.700 certain views
00:44:18.380 that were popular
00:44:18.960 at the time
00:44:19.420 and goes further
00:44:20.100 on other views.
00:44:21.520 This is true
00:44:22.160 of all
00:44:22.640 serious theologians.
00:44:25.700 There is a great
00:44:26.800 meme I saw
00:44:27.600 going around
00:44:28.200 of someone
00:44:29.640 who was
00:44:30.940 swimming in the ocean
00:44:33.180 and had a fishbowl
00:44:34.360 on his head
00:44:34.840 and the fishbowl
00:44:36.500 said religion
00:44:37.060 and the ocean
00:44:37.640 said spirituality
00:44:38.480 and my friend
00:44:41.160 posted this meme
00:44:42.000 and he said
00:44:42.480 oh you mean
00:44:43.980 that the glass
00:44:45.340 allows you
00:44:45.900 to see things
00:44:46.640 more clearly
00:44:47.280 actually puts
00:44:48.240 glass actually
00:44:48.980 puts things
00:44:49.420 into perspective?
00:44:50.160 Yeah,
00:44:50.340 I guess that is
00:44:50.780 what religion does.
00:44:52.940 This stuff
00:44:53.680 is much more
00:44:54.380 pervasive
00:44:54.920 and I think
00:44:55.920 that we
00:44:57.360 rather than
00:44:58.740 just laughing
00:45:00.060 at the most
00:45:01.400 extravagant people
00:45:02.520 who push this
00:45:03.220 kind of craziness
00:45:04.200 maybe we ought
00:45:04.920 to take a look
00:45:05.340 at ourselves
00:45:05.720 and examine
00:45:06.120 our own beliefs
00:45:06.920 and think
00:45:08.060 hive
00:45:08.420 maybe my views
00:45:10.140 aren't so different
00:45:11.000 from Demi Lovato's
00:45:12.120 and maybe that's
00:45:12.620 a problem
00:45:13.080 and maybe I should
00:45:13.680 start thinking
00:45:14.260 more seriously
00:45:14.960 about the universe
00:45:17.020 man and my place
00:45:18.340 in it.
00:45:19.200 Where do people
00:45:19.780 learn this stuff?
00:45:20.460 There's actually
00:45:20.780 some good news.
00:45:22.240 There's some good
00:45:22.840 news here.
00:45:24.320 Undergraduate
00:45:24.760 enrollment
00:45:25.520 in America
00:45:26.400 has dropped
00:45:27.640 8%
00:45:28.320 in the last
00:45:28.960 two years.
00:45:31.540 Awesome.
00:45:32.460 Great,
00:45:33.160 great stuff.
00:45:34.140 According to a report
00:45:35.140 from the National
00:45:36.000 Student Clearing
00:45:36.740 House Research
00:45:37.320 Center,
00:45:37.780 7.8%
00:45:39.200 fewer students
00:45:40.360 are now
00:45:41.200 participating
00:45:41.660 in undergraduate
00:45:42.200 programs
00:45:42.740 with public
00:45:44.120 two-year schools
00:45:44.740 and for-profit
00:45:45.960 four-year schools
00:45:46.700 seeing the most
00:45:47.520 significant declines.
00:45:49.560 This is really
00:45:50.500 good stuff.
00:45:53.320 I am not saying
00:45:54.680 that no one
00:45:55.500 should go to college.
00:45:56.660 I know that
00:45:57.240 some conservatives
00:45:57.800 say no one
00:45:58.320 should go to college
00:45:58.840 unless you study
00:45:59.660 engineering or whatever.
00:46:00.680 I actually don't.
00:46:01.440 I don't think
00:46:02.200 you should study
00:46:02.660 engineering in college.
00:46:03.500 I think you should
00:46:03.900 study literature
00:46:04.620 and history
00:46:05.240 and philosophy
00:46:05.900 and theology
00:46:06.960 and the liberal arts
00:46:08.360 to help you make
00:46:08.800 sense of your freedom
00:46:09.400 if you go to college
00:46:10.860 at all
00:46:11.220 and there are very few
00:46:11.960 institutions where you
00:46:12.620 can get a good
00:46:13.000 education anyway.
00:46:14.420 But I'm not saying
00:46:15.080 no one should go to
00:46:15.860 college.
00:46:16.700 I'm saying
00:46:17.640 you should keep
00:46:18.960 the ends
00:46:19.660 in mind.
00:46:20.980 Why are you
00:46:21.700 going to college?
00:46:23.660 For the conservatives
00:46:24.560 who say
00:46:25.080 you just need to
00:46:26.600 study engineering
00:46:27.460 in school.
00:46:28.760 Say why?
00:46:29.820 Why do you need
00:46:30.380 to go to college
00:46:31.080 to learn engineering?
00:46:32.060 I actually don't think
00:46:32.800 you do.
00:46:33.040 You can go to trade
00:46:33.660 school for that.
00:46:34.600 If you want to just
00:46:35.380 if you want to learn
00:46:35.880 business you don't
00:46:36.580 need to go to college.
00:46:38.820 These are
00:46:39.300 technical arts.
00:46:41.080 You can learn them
00:46:41.700 on the job
00:46:42.460 it's probably best
00:46:43.580 or you can learn
00:46:44.880 them at a trade
00:46:45.280 school.
00:46:46.600 You can't really
00:46:47.640 learn literature
00:46:48.280 at trade school.
00:46:49.520 You can do it
00:46:50.000 on your own
00:46:50.360 but it helps
00:46:50.700 to have a guide.
00:46:52.180 Helps to have a teacher.
00:46:53.000 But what's the
00:46:53.400 what are you after?
00:46:55.460 So many Americans
00:46:57.000 are blindly
00:46:58.060 stumbling into college
00:46:59.180 and going into
00:47:00.020 a quarter million
00:47:00.640 dollars of debt
00:47:01.380 to get a worthless
00:47:02.980 degree where you
00:47:04.060 don't learn anything
00:47:04.720 about a job
00:47:05.400 you don't learn
00:47:06.340 anything about
00:47:06.900 your freedom
00:47:07.420 you don't learn
00:47:08.100 anything about
00:47:08.600 your civilization
00:47:09.200 and the things
00:47:09.820 you do learn
00:47:10.440 are BS.
00:47:12.300 To quote Tony Soprano
00:47:13.540 you finally read
00:47:14.240 a book and it's BS.
00:47:15.960 So why would we
00:47:16.660 do that?
00:47:17.500 Got to keep the
00:47:18.100 ends and you
00:47:19.020 can apply this
00:47:19.980 to the broader
00:47:20.820 society too.
00:47:22.060 What kind of
00:47:22.780 society do we
00:47:23.780 want to have?
00:47:24.440 What is the
00:47:25.280 purpose of
00:47:26.040 government,
00:47:26.660 of our communities,
00:47:27.600 of our family,
00:47:28.200 of our place here?
00:47:29.340 What is the
00:47:29.800 purpose?
00:47:30.060 What do we
00:47:30.480 want to see
00:47:30.840 happen in the
00:47:31.340 end and how
00:47:31.860 do we get
00:47:32.240 there?
