00:00:35.660 Yeah. Yeah, I'm talking about you.

00:00:38.080 You're complaining because what?

00:00:40.740 Because everything is way more expensive now than it used to be?

00:00:43.900 And what? Because the economy is sputtering?

00:00:47.120 And the government isn't letting you run your business or do your job or even travel

00:00:51.480 if you don't comply with a bunch of extremely burdensome and expensive regulations?

00:00:55.620 Without even acknowledging the great successes of this administration?

00:01:01.560 Without even admitting that gas has dropped 10 cents per gallon this month?

00:01:08.320 Here it is, buster.

00:01:10.040 Can't deny that.

00:01:11.120 So stop complaining and get used to the new normal.

00:01:14.780 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:15.460 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:23.900 Welcome back to the show.

00:01:24.860 My favorite comment yesterday is from Aaron Levitt who says,

00:01:27.380 The dude beating everyone on the women's swim team reminds me of the Seinfeld episode

00:01:31.600 where Kramer joins a kid's karate class and, when questioned by Jerry about it,

00:01:36.760 claimed that it was fair because they're all at the same skill level.

00:01:40.260 Kramer, of course, won every fight in the class and thought he was awesome.

00:01:43.420 That is an apt analogy.

00:01:46.040 You're right.

00:01:46.440 I think that's very similar.

00:01:47.900 The only difference being Seinfeld was a sitcom and the dude on the Penn's swim team

00:01:55.380 is ostensibly living in reality.

00:01:58.480 But our reality has become like an episode of Seinfeld or Always Sunny or something perhaps

00:02:05.480 even more absurd.

00:02:07.120 It just gets you a little tense sometimes.

00:02:08.880 And when you're feeling a little tense, especially at the office, you got to check out X Chair.

00:02:13.420 I've got to give you a massage.

00:02:15.880 That's right, you lucky duck.

00:02:17.460 But I'm not going to be doing it with my hands.

00:02:19.080 I don't want to get me toot.

00:02:20.000 I don't want anyone to file an HR complaint against me, okay?

00:02:23.540 But I am going to help you get a massage at the office with X Chair. 1.00

00:02:28.240 X Chair is incredible.

00:02:30.540 I love it.

00:02:36.600 It's just tremendous.

00:02:38.420 It is this ergonomically designed chair.

00:02:41.620 It's, listen, I don't know anything about science, but it's super duper science-y and

00:02:45.420 it just puts you in this great kind of posture.

00:02:48.220 It can warm you up.

00:02:49.140 It can cool you down.

00:03:20.480 That's XChairKnowles.com right now.

00:03:23.620 Gas is down 10 cents per gallon.

00:03:25.380 We've been told that the inflation rate is hitting record highs.

00:03:30.760 And we've been told, for instance, that the consumer price inflation rate in the United

00:03:35.200 States is 6.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

00:03:38.640 That's a very high number.

00:03:40.780 And that should really concern everybody because your wealth is just disappearing before your

00:03:46.860 very eyes and you are losing purchasing power.

00:03:49.800 But I am here to tell you, the situation is actually much, much, much worse than that.

00:03:55.060 Even that 6.8 percent number, even there's another number about wholesale price increases

00:03:59.900 that's closer to 10 percent.

00:04:01.780 But even those numbers do not come anywhere near representing the scope of the problem.

00:04:07.980 So this is the largest year-over-year increase in consumer prices since June of 1982.

00:04:16.580 Since the early, early days of the Reagan administration, this is the sixth straight month in which inflation

00:04:23.880 remained above 5 percent.

00:04:26.920 But it's much higher.

00:04:27.840 If you talk about fruits and vegetables, then the prices have gone up 4 percent year-over-year.

00:04:32.860 That's pretty high.

00:04:33.300 I was talking to Sean Spicer yesterday, and he was complaining that the price of lemons,

00:04:37.160 he loves lemons for whatever reason, he was complaining that the price of lemons has gone way up.

00:04:42.520 Milk, 4.6 percent.

00:04:44.940 Apparel, 5 percent.

00:04:46.100 Food, 6.1 percent.

00:04:47.940 Electricity, 6.5 percent.

00:04:49.260 Jewelry, 6.7 percent.

00:04:51.580 Okay, so now we're at that, right around that number, where the consumer price inflation is 6.8.

00:04:57.380 What about domestic services?

00:05:00.320 Home care, maybe cleaning, maybe those sorts of things.

00:05:04.160 10.2 percent.

00:05:05.400 New cars, 11.1 percent.

00:05:09.840 Furniture and bedding.

00:05:11.000 You need some new sheets for your bed, 11.8 percent.

00:05:13.520 Now we're just getting into food, like meat and chicken and fish, is up 13.1 percent year-over-year.

00:05:23.320 Hotels, going to be traveling this Christmas.

00:05:25.380 I was just traveling.

00:05:26.140 I just stayed at a hotel.

00:05:27.260 It was much more expensive than usual.

00:05:29.600 25.5 percent.

00:05:32.800 Used cars, so new cars already up very high.

00:05:36.180 Used cars up 31.4 percent.

00:05:40.280 And then you get to gas.

00:05:41.620 Gas is up 58.1 percent year-over-year.

00:05:48.400 That's pretty high.

00:05:50.200 Now the gas fell in the last month 10 percent.

00:05:53.420 Does that, or 10 cents, 10 cents rather, not 10 percent.

00:05:56.020 10 cents.

00:05:56.840 Does that make up for the 58.1 percent increase year-over-year?

00:06:00.120 I don't think so.

00:06:02.180 Even the numbers we're getting out of the establishment media and the corporate press

00:06:06.880 are hiding the real costs of inflation.

00:06:09.380 So whose fault is it?

00:06:10.800 Whose fault is it?

00:06:11.520 Well, if you ask the White House, you ask Jen Psaki. 1.00

00:06:14.200 She says it is everyone else's fault.

00:06:18.440 It is not the White House's fault.

00:06:20.840 It's not the Biden policies.

00:06:23.040 You want someone to blame the cattle ranchers.

00:06:27.040 The president thinks the way people across the country, American families, digest inflation

00:06:33.140 is by price increases.

00:06:34.780 And if you look at industry to industry, it's a little different.

00:06:37.700 So, for example, the president, the secretary of agriculture have both spoken to what we've

00:06:42.680 seen as the greed of meat conglomerates.

00:06:44.800 That is an area where people go to the grocery store and they're trying to buy a pound of

00:06:48.840 meat, two pounds of meat, 10 pounds of meat.

00:06:50.480 It is the prices are higher.

00:06:52.800 That is, in his view, and the view of our secretary of agriculture, because of you could call it

00:06:58.480 corporate greed short.

00:06:59.520 You could call it jacking up prices during a pandemic.

00:07:03.920 There are other areas where we've seen increases because of supply chain issues, and we're seeing

00:07:09.540 those increases around the world as it relates to gas prices, oil supply, and things along

00:07:15.020 those lines.

00:07:15.560 So, I would say there's some areas where we have seen corporations benefit, profit from

00:07:21.280 the pandemic, and certainly the president would agree with that component.

00:07:25.560 It's corporate greed, the meat industry.

00:07:28.000 So, meat's only up, what, 13.1 percent?

00:07:30.160 So, can you imagine the hotel greed, the used car greed, the gas greed?

00:07:36.800 It's their fault.

00:07:37.420 Stop being so greedy, guys, when the ranchers and the meat industry are raising their prices

00:07:46.020 because their costs are increasing, and so they can't be just losing money, right?

00:07:51.460 They've got to keep making a profit to stay afloat.

00:07:53.820 That's very greedy.

00:07:54.800 When the Biden administration hikes your taxes during a pandemic, during a lockdown, during

00:08:00.740 tough times, that's not greedy.

00:08:03.080 Biden right now is trying to hike your taxes a lot.

00:08:06.820 That's not greedy.

00:08:07.920 That's actually, that's just you paying your fair share.

00:08:11.620 That's actually compassionate of Joe Biden.

00:08:13.780 But when the meat industry raises prices because their costs are going up, that's extremely greedy.

00:08:18.660 When Joe Biden shuts down oil pipelines and raises the price of gas to pay for his ridiculous

00:08:26.300 end-of-the-world climate change agenda, that's compassionate.

00:08:32.300 That's not greedy.

00:08:33.680 When he charges you a bunch of, when he takes your money to pay for his delusions, that's

00:08:38.720 not greedy.

00:08:39.520 When he takes your money to pay off teacher unions that vote for him, when he takes your

00:08:43.480 money to put out little goodies in the hands of his political donors and his political

00:08:49.460 supporters, that's not greedy.

00:08:51.400 But when some rancher in the middle of America raises prices because he has to, because his

00:08:57.100 costs are rising, that it's always someone else's fault, right?

00:08:59.740 It's always somebody else's fault.

00:09:01.880 What happened to shutting down the virus?

00:09:05.580 Do you, do you remember, I'm sure Joe Biden does not, since he doesn't remember what he had

00:09:08.740 for breakfast, do you remember that during the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden debating Donald

00:09:16.180 Trump, Trump was nailing Biden, as a lot of Republicans were saying, you're going to shut

00:09:22.280 down the country.

00:09:23.060 We're the, we're the side of don't shut down the country.

00:09:25.760 You, Biden, are the side of shutting down the country.

00:09:27.380 And Biden said, I'm not going to shut down the country.

00:09:29.100 I'm going to shut down the virus.

00:09:32.200 What I would say is I'm going to shut down the virus, not the country.

00:09:35.280 It's his ineptitude that caused the virus, caused the country to have to shut down in

00:09:39.840 large part, why businesses have gone under, why schools are closed, why so many people

00:09:44.180 have lost their living and why they're concerned.

00:09:46.760 Those other concerns are real.

00:09:48.180 That's why he should have been, instead of in a sand trap in his golf course, he should

00:09:51.880 have been negotiating with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats and Republicans

00:09:56.040 about what to do about the acts they were passing for billions of dollars to make sure

00:10:01.060 people had the capacity.

00:10:02.400 So Biden's obviously a little confused about many things, including his history here, because

00:10:07.400 at the beginning of the COVID nonsense, it was Trump and the Republicans who wanted to

00:10:12.840 shut down the border, not the virtual border with China, wanted to shut down travel with

00:10:16.720 China.

00:10:17.260 And it was Joe Biden who called that hysterical xenophobia and wanted to keep the borders open

00:10:21.420 and still has the borders open on our Southern border.

00:10:25.380 It was Donald Trump who wanted to shut that down.

00:10:27.560 It was Donald Trump who wanted to keep the country open after the two weeks to slow the spread.

00:10:32.160 And it was Biden and all of the Democrats who wanted to keep the country shut down.

00:10:35.620 And Dr. Fauci and the public health bureaucrats, they wanted to keep the whole country shut

00:10:40.840 down.

00:10:41.120 And now, and so Joe Biden in 2020 was trying to weasel out of it.

00:10:43.920 He said, I don't want to shut the country down, even though that's what I've been advocating

00:10:46.320 since the beginning.

00:10:47.080 I just want to shut down the virus.

00:10:48.820 Well, all of that to say, the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, has just gone on television

00:10:53.520 to tell you that as we head into year two, we're not shutting the virus down.

00:10:59.860 Shouldn't the messaging be, though, Rochelle, as we sit here, because we're going into year

00:11:04.100 two, people think we're waiting for you to sound the trumpet and say it's all clear.

00:11:07.440 We're not really going to get an all clear, are we?

00:11:09.540 We just have to face the fact that we're going to have to live with this.

00:11:12.140 True.

00:11:12.480 I think that that's probably true.

00:11:14.420 But what I would say is we have a lot of control and power to do that as we come together,

00:11:18.940 as we get vaccinated, as we do those prevention things that work to protect one another and

00:11:23.960 ourselves and our family, we can bring down the amount of disease in this country and get

00:11:28.640 much faster to that place.

00:11:30.500 Yeah, that's that's probably true.

00:11:32.360 We're just going to have to live with the virus.

00:11:34.160 We're never, ever, ever going to shut it down.

00:11:37.160 And I have to correct the lady who asked the question of Rochelle Walensky.

00:11:40.920 She said, as we head into year two, and that seems like such a long time, right?

00:11:44.620 I think it was supposed to be two weeks to slow the spread.

00:11:46.380 How are we heading into year two?

00:11:47.440 We're not.

00:11:47.900 We're not heading into year two.

00:11:50.840 We're heading into year three.

00:11:53.580 Can you believe that?

00:11:55.100 We're heading into year three.

00:11:57.020 It's already been almost two years.

00:11:59.320 It started in early 2020.

00:12:02.520 They said two weeks to slow the spread.

00:12:04.160 That took all of 2020.

00:12:05.840 And then it took all of 2021.

00:12:08.580 And now they're telling us it's going to keep going on and on and on.

00:12:12.240 And it's everybody else's fault.

00:12:14.380 It's Trump's fault for whatever reason.

00:12:16.240 It's your fault for not wearing the mask.

00:12:18.360 It's your fault for not getting the vaccine.

00:12:19.840 It's your fault for not getting the 15th booster.

00:12:21.560 It's your fault for wanting your political rights back.

00:12:26.100 And oh, the vaccines and the masks and the lockdowns, that doesn't prevent you from going

00:12:30.700 into years and years and years more of this?

00:12:32.160 Well, I don't know.

00:12:34.040 Blame the meat industry.

00:12:35.520 You know, it's enough to keep you up at night.

00:12:36.800 But when you want to sleep very well at night, I would strongly recommend you check out Helix.

00:12:41.060 I have to invite you into my bed.

00:12:43.580 I do.

00:12:44.420 I do.

00:12:44.740 And it wouldn't literally be my bed.

00:12:47.340 My wife would not like that. 1.00

00:12:48.880 Maybe she would like it, frankly.

00:12:50.040 I don't know.

00:12:50.360 You know, she'd be able to go to her own bed. 0.99

00:12:52.060 She'd probably have a nice time.

00:12:52.660 Well, we would both have to have Helix beds in that case because Helix is phenomenal. 0.85

00:12:57.080 And what I'm saying is I want you to have your own Helix because you shouldn't be sleeping

00:13:00.820 in a bed that's for somebody else.

00:13:02.400 Okay, you should be sleeping in a bed that is just for you.

00:13:04.960 Helix has a quiz.

00:13:47.420 Helixsleep.com slash Knowles, up to $200 off and two free pillows.

00:13:51.980 So the CDC director goes out and says, no, you're not going back to normal.

00:13:56.040 Stop complaining.

00:13:57.180 The White House comes on and says, yeah, your prices are going up, but hey, stop complaining.

00:14:01.260 If you want to complain to somebody, go complain to the ranchers in Montana or something.

00:14:04.680 Don't bug me about it.

00:14:06.460 And now Joe Biden has lost it.

00:14:08.440 He's lost his temper.

00:14:09.400 Remember, he just, he wants you to take the 17th booster shot or whatever, whichever number

00:14:14.640 we're on now.

00:14:15.280 He just, why won't you take, oh, because you want your freedom?

00:14:19.920 You want, well, Joe Biden says, if you want your freedom, if you want your regular way of

00:14:23.260 life, that just means you're not a patriot and you got to get over yourself.

00:14:27.460 Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a, to have a shot or have a test.

00:14:32.540 Well, guess what?

00:14:33.300 And so how about patriotism?

00:14:35.660 How about making sure that you're vaccinated so you do not spread the disease to anybody

00:14:40.280 else?

00:14:41.120 What about that?

00:14:42.360 What's the big deal?

00:14:44.200 What's the big deal?

00:14:45.360 Be a patriot, says the guy whose party hates America.

00:14:49.600 I'm not being hyperbolic here.

00:14:51.780 They hate America.

00:14:53.040 They protest the American flag.

00:14:55.400 They disrespect the symbol of America.

00:14:57.860 They constantly talk about how America is an evil, rotten country, the worst country in

00:15:02.360 the history of the world, irredeemably corrupted because of the original sin of slavery and

00:15:07.520 it's racist and bigoted and terrible and xenophobic and that's, it's the worst country ever.

00:15:13.300 So be a patriot.

00:15:14.180 Why should I be a patriot?

00:15:15.280 You're telling me this country is terrible.

00:15:17.420 So I guess I shouldn't be a patriot.

00:15:19.860 Now, of course, Biden is not applying particularly rigorous logic these days, but the left broadly

00:15:26.720 isn't either.

00:15:27.860 You remember Andrew Cuomo back when everyone, everyone on the left was in love with Cuomo

00:15:33.240 and they gave him that big multimillion dollar book deal and people were calling themselves

00:15:36.880 Cuomo sexuals and he was being heralded as the greatest governor ever.

00:15:40.080 And he was speaking at the Democrat National Convention in 2020.

00:15:44.180 Cuomo said, we're America tough.

00:15:47.520 We're America tough and we're going to get together because we're great Americans.

00:15:50.900 But just a few months earlier, he said that America was never that great.

00:15:54.060 A few years earlier, I should be fair, he was talking about, about Donald Trump.

00:15:59.020 Trump said, make America great again.

00:16:00.500 What did Andrew Cuomo say?

00:16:01.440 On camera, he said, America was never that great.

00:16:04.780 But then he totally switches and he says, we're America tough.

00:16:07.940 Well, which is it?

00:16:09.080 Do you love your country?

00:16:09.880 Do you not love your country?

00:16:11.520 For the left, it's just whatever is convenient.

00:16:13.340 And then Biden says, what's the big deal about getting vaccinated?

00:16:15.580 Okay, good.

00:16:16.000 I'm glad that that's your argument.

00:16:18.100 Let's hold you to that argument that it's not a big deal.

00:16:20.160 So if it's not a big deal to get vaccinated, then it's not a big deal to not get vaccinated.

00:16:25.920 Right?

00:16:26.580 What's the big deal?

00:16:27.760 The libs do this all the time with the gender pronouns.

00:16:31.600 They'll say, Michael, come on.

00:16:32.900 What's the big deal about calling a guy who pretends to be a woman, she? 0.94

00:16:37.380 What's the big deal?

00:16:38.420 Oh, good.

00:16:38.820 I'm glad.

00:16:39.300 I'm glad we agree that it's not a big deal.

00:16:42.140 Okay, good.

00:16:42.840 Then it's not a big deal for me to call him a he. 1.00

00:16:45.640 Well, no, actually, it's a really big deal if you call him a he.

00:16:48.800 Oh, okay.

00:16:49.380 So why is it a big deal?

00:16:50.440 It's a big deal.

00:16:51.140 In the case of the pronouns, it's a big deal because the pronouns carry with it whole premises.

00:16:55.160 If I call a man who's pretending to be a woman, if I call that hulking dude from the Penn's 1.00

00:16:59.100 women's swim team, if I call him she, I'm accepting the insane and politically very potent 0.99

00:17:06.960 left-wing premise that men can become women and that sex is not real and that human nature

00:17:11.160 is completely changeable.

00:17:13.660 And so I'm not going to do that because I think that's a big deal.

00:17:15.880 And it's the same thing with the vaccine.

00:17:18.160 If you're telling me that some egghead bureaucrat who has been around and in power for seven

00:17:27.100 U.S. presidents, he's the highest paid employee of the federal government, if you're telling

00:17:30.600 me that this guy can force 330 million people to take an experimental drug to maybe possibly

00:17:38.620 protect against a virus that does not pose a particularly grave risk to the vast majority

00:17:42.760 of people and he can just do that based on his own whims and his caprices, that would seem

00:17:49.080 to be a fundamental restructuring of, of the constitutional order.

00:17:52.540 And so I think that's a pretty big deal.

00:17:55.700 That's the big, if you're telling me that the federal government can force you to inject

00:18:00.460 yourself with morally compromised vaccines, that maybe it is permissible to take the vaccines,

00:18:07.000 but it is still a remote cooperation with evil because all of the vaccines were at least

00:18:12.480 developed, if not also produced using the stem cells of aborted babies.

00:18:16.660 If you're telling me the government can just force you to do that, to, to possibly protect

00:18:22.680 against a virus that does not pose a grave threat to the vast majority of people, I, that

00:18:25.860 seems like a big deal to me.

00:18:27.060 But of course they think it is a big deal.

00:18:29.900 That's why they're putting all their political capital behind it. 0.97

00:18:31.960 Just like they think the pronouns are a big deal too.

00:18:33.960 And they're gaslighting you, even though gas is extremely expensive now, thanks in no small

00:18:38.760 part to Joe Biden, they're gaslighting you into believing it's not a big deal.

00:18:43.640 But of course it is.

00:18:44.620 Speaking of patriotism, Governor Ron DeSantis, once again, doing the right thing.

00:18:50.080 Ron DeSantis sent out a press release yesterday saying that Florida, quote, stands ready to

00:18:54.480 aid the response efforts from all impacted states after those terrible, deadly tornadoes

00:19:01.620 that ripped through a little bit, ripped through Nashville, but really hit mostly in Kentucky.

00:19:07.240 The Florida Division of Emergency Management is coordinating right now with the offices of,

00:19:12.920 quote, the nine affected states to identify resource gaps and offer support as needed,

00:19:17.060 including urban search and rescue teams, ambulance strike teams, and recovery disaster specialists.

00:19:24.480 There are so many aspects to this story, and they're all brilliant, okay?

00:19:30.340 Just on the political, on the electoral politics level, Ron DeSantis, yet again, is figuring a

00:19:36.280 way to put himself right at the heart of a national news story.

00:19:41.120 Why is a Kentucky tornado putting Ron DeSantis in the national media spotlight?

00:19:47.240 Well, because he's offering to help them, and then other governors are not doing that in a

00:19:50.320 very public way, and so that's putting him there.

00:19:51.920 If the guy wants to run for president, he's positioning himself very well to do so, but

00:19:56.900 beyond just the electoral politics stuff, it's the right thing to do, and this is going

00:20:00.860 to irritate a certain breed of libertarian.

00:20:05.320 There's a certain breed of libertarian who's going to say, this is just DeSantis illegitimately

00:20:12.600 using his state resources and his constituents' resources to put himself in the national spotlight.

00:20:17.220 It's a dereliction of duty.

00:20:18.500 He should just be focused on the people of Florida.

00:20:20.200 What has Florida to do with Kentucky?

00:20:23.100 What have you to do with me?

00:20:24.600 This is, no, as is a bad use of resources, and no.

00:20:29.400 Do you know what Florida has to do with Kentucky?

00:20:33.580 They're part of the same country.

00:20:35.180 That's why.

00:20:36.340 And actually, actually, it's a good thing when states help out other states.

00:20:41.400 And not only is that not some irresponsible, left-wing, big government dereliction of duty,

00:20:48.600 that's the right thing to do because we're countrymen.

00:20:50.540 That's what you want.

00:20:51.300 You want a nation to have some cohesion.

00:20:54.100 The founding fathers thought the nation needed cohesion.

00:20:56.840 We did have national cohesion until very recently.

00:21:00.460 Now we have basically nothing holding us together.

00:21:02.580 America does not have a particular race.

00:21:10.240 There used to be a little bit more racial cohesion, but, you know, it was always kind of complicated

00:21:15.580 because there were multiple races here.

00:21:17.500 We no longer really have religious cohesion at all.

00:21:20.780 We don't, religion is plummeting in America, and there's a lot of religious diversity.

00:21:25.700 We no longer have linguistic cohesion even.

00:21:28.580 We don't even speak the same language anymore, both because of the growth of Spanish as an American language

00:21:33.620 and because the libs just keep changing the meanings of all the words we don't.

00:21:37.060 So we don't have a lot holding us together.

00:21:38.960 We don't even have a love of the same ideals or the same symbols or the same founding fathers or anything.

00:21:43.560 Half the country is tearing down the statues.

00:21:45.380 Half the country is spitting on the American flag, and the other half is saluting the flag.

00:21:49.560 Half the country, I suspect, identifies much more with the rainbow flag than they do with the stars and stripes.

00:21:58.600 And so what DeSantis is doing here is he's saying, no, no, we are part of one country.

00:22:01.740 We're going to go, we're going to go help out Kentucky.

00:22:05.560 I love it.

00:22:06.040 I think this is great stuff.

00:22:06.960 It's really smart.

00:22:07.860 It's not only good politics, but it's right, and it gets to a much deeper kind of conservatism

00:22:12.860 than the frivolous, you know, just cut my taxes and leave me alone stuff that we've heard for the past 20 years.

00:22:18.500 Speaking of a more robust conservatism, you're not only seeing it from the conservative Republican governor of Florida.

00:22:25.000 You're seeing a strange leaning into a kind of conservatism coming from pop music.

00:22:33.300 You're seeing it come from someone named Billie Eilish.

00:22:37.180 Now, I'm no expert on Billie Eilish.

00:22:39.600 Okay, I've never listened to a Billie Eilish tune.

00:22:42.180 I wouldn't really be able to pick her out of a lineup.

00:22:44.460 But Billie Eilish has just come out and made a very conservative point. 0.85

00:22:52.080 She's come out against porn.

00:22:54.160 As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace, and I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest.

00:23:01.980 I started watching porn when I was like 11.

00:23:03.860 I didn't understand why it was a bad thing.

00:23:12.780 I thought that's how you learned how to have sex.

00:23:15.700 And I used to be like the person that would talk about porn all the time.

00:23:18.660 I'd be like, oh, it's so stupid that anybody would think that porn is bad or f***ed up.

00:23:23.080 I think it's so cool, and it's great.

00:23:25.640 What kind of porn were you watching?

00:23:27.240 I was an advocate, and I, you know, thought I was one of the guys and would talk about it

00:23:33.560 and think I was really cool for not having a problem with it and not seeing why it was bad.

00:23:39.740 And, you know, I think it really destroyed my brain.

00:23:43.960 And I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn.

00:23:53.120 Am I listening to The Howard Stern Show or The Mailbag?

00:23:56.060 Like, on this show, where a lot of young people, mostly men, but occasionally sometimes women,

00:24:00.560 write in and make the same exact point that Billie Eilish is making.

00:24:05.340 Really, some people recognize that we're living in a strange time,

00:24:09.580 and they're changing their views because of that.

00:24:12.460 Like, for instance, your view on your mortgage rate,

00:24:14.200 which is why you've got to check out American Financing.

00:24:16.280 Mortgage rates remain incredibly low, but that might not be the case forever.

00:24:20.940 Are they going to stay at that level in the new year?

00:24:22.580 We can't be sure, which is why you need to call American Financing.

00:24:25.480 Lock into a low rate now and potentially save yourself up to $1,000 a month.

00:24:31.320 That's right, per month.

00:24:33.520 You can even skip your January mortgage payment and possibly February,

00:24:37.100 creating greater savings as we begin a new year.

00:24:40.340 Think of how much that can help and then give American Financing a call.

00:24:44.700 There's no pressure, no obligation, no upfront or hidden fees,

00:24:48.300 just a simple conversation about ways that you can save without restarting your loan.

00:24:53.520 That's right, you can choose any term 10 years and over,

00:24:56.960 so you're not wasting money on years that you don't need.

00:24:59.560 Get a free mortgage review today when you call 800-685-5696.

00:25:05.500 That is 800-685-5696.

00:25:12.040 NMLS, 182-334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:25:17.340 You know, not only was The Daily Wire the first company in the nation to sue the Biden administration

00:25:22.560 for their unconstitutional mandate, but we are getting closer,

00:25:26.380 closer and closer to our goal of one million signatures on our Do Not Comply petition every single day.

00:25:32.260 People are realizing that if we do not actively fight for our freedom and our way of life and our rights

00:25:38.300 and the America that we all know and love, radicals are going to take it from us.

00:25:43.540 New York City, New York City is expanding the vaccine mandate to kids ages 5 through 11.

00:25:49.280 They're forcing a bunch of kids who statistically have an infinitesimally small chance of serious complications of COVID.

00:25:54.980 They're forcing them to take this experimental drug.

00:25:56.880 We right now have over 878,000 signatures.

00:26:01.240 We need your help to cross that finish line.

00:26:02.900 So please sign the petition at dailywire.com slash do not comply.

00:26:06.520 Then share the petition with all of your friends and family.

00:26:09.640 Send a message to Biden and Fauci and all the rest of those jerks who are trying to take away our way of life.

00:26:15.920 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:26:26.880 Right-wing retrograde activist Billie Eilish is coming out against porn.

00:26:36.640 Is she?

00:26:36.940 No, she's not.

00:26:37.540 She's not a Bible thumper or a reactionary or retrograde or any of these things.

00:26:44.700 She's about as pop, mainstream, lib as it gets. 0.92

00:26:50.120 And she's saying that she feels that porn destroyed her brain because she, like so many people who are in Gen Z and millennials to a lesser degree.

00:27:01.360 Millennials were exposed to porn at a pretty early age too, but less so than Gen Z where basically they're just saturated in it from the moment they're born.

00:27:10.060 She says that being exposed to this at a young age and getting addicted to it is destroying her brain.

00:27:15.360 People write into my mailbag all the time, as you have heard, on this topic.

00:27:21.000 And they say, I know that I'm supposed to be cool and hip and we're all supposed to be fine with porn and actually pro-porn, but I think it's bad.

00:27:28.000 And maybe we've got to do something about this problem.

00:27:30.460 They're recognizing this because it is true. 0.92

00:27:32.500 And they're recognizing that while the way that the porn industry and the sexual revolutionaries sold porn is that it's a way to increase your freedom.

00:27:42.600 Don't let those old constraints and those old nasty preacher men tell you what to do, man.

00:27:47.480 You know, just enjoy your freedom to watch women be degraded. 1.00

00:27:51.900 That's how it was sold.

00:27:53.320 And virtually everybody in the culture at some point has given into this temptation or even believed that lie outright.

00:27:59.380 But it turns out it's not true.

00:28:01.680 It doesn't make you free.

00:28:02.560 It actually enslaves you.

00:28:03.600 It gets you addicted to things and it warps your brain.

00:28:06.060 And Billie Eilish was talking about how she got really addicted to this particularly violent kind of porn.

00:28:11.720 And it messed up her relationships.

00:28:13.400 And it actually does change your brain chemistry.

00:28:15.760 So there are actually physical effects of this as well.

00:28:18.240 And obviously extremely corrosive, psychological, and spiritual effects.

00:28:22.720 And it seems to me the only people who don't get it are the squishy right-wingers.

00:28:28.120 The hard left understands what this stuff does, porn and drugs and this culture of licentiousness.

00:28:35.340 They know what it does and they are wielding it, actively wielding it to compromise your freedom and change the culture.

00:28:41.300 They write about this.

00:28:42.120 I actually write about them writing about this in my book Speechless, which makes a great Christmas present, by the way.

00:28:46.060 Number one national bestseller, great gift to give to your friends or family.

00:28:48.800 So the hard left knows about this.

00:28:50.700 The conservatives, the actual conservatives, know that.

00:28:53.780 But it's just the, sometimes they're called the lullbertarians.

00:28:58.340 You know, the very unserious, squishy, just you-do-you types who kind of fall on the right.

00:29:04.180 They seem to be the only ones who don't get it.

00:29:07.740 That this is a really powerful thing.

00:29:10.860 And when you legalize all porn, just like if you legalize all drugs, just if you legalize all manner of licentiousness and vice,

00:29:17.140 that's not going to free you, it's going to enslave you and it's going to enslave you to bad dudes on the left.

00:29:23.000 Billie Eilish gets it, you should too.

00:29:24.680 Speaking of licentiousness and creepy sex stuff, Abby Shapiro just got in trouble. 1.00

00:29:29.360 Abby Shapiro was not doing anything creepy or not.

00:29:31.300 Abby Shapiro got in trouble for a tweet in which she called out this kind of thing. 0.65

00:29:36.780 So Abby, for those of you who don't know, Abby is Ben's sister.

00:29:40.500 Obviously, friend of ours for many, many years.

00:29:42.920 And Abby has her own channel called Classically Abby, where she advocates for a more traditional, normal kind of lifestyle.

00:29:49.500 So she sent out this tweet, two pictures side by side.

00:29:53.100 One is Nancy Reagan with her family, I guess at the Reagan Ranch, looks like it's at the Reagan Ranch.

00:29:58.120 And one is of Madonna, who is now in her 60s, dressed up like she's a much younger woman doing much nastier things than 60-year-old women should be doing. 0.84

00:30:09.980 Abby writes from the Classically Abby account, this is Madonna at 63, this is Nancy Reagan at 64.

00:30:16.460 Trashy living versus classy living, which version of yourself do you want to be?

00:30:21.220 And she was pilloried for this.

00:30:23.540 The tweet went viral.

00:30:26.540 Molly Jongfast, who is a left-wing writer, writing in the Daily Beast, said that Abby, Classically Abby and her brother Ben, they're just boomers.

00:30:34.700 They're like millennial boomers. 0.94

00:30:36.160 Molly, if you criticize Madonna, a boomer, for her boomer lifestyle, you're apparently a boomer.

00:30:44.500 And if you criticize libs for indulging it, you're apparently a boomer.

00:30:47.840 Of course, the opposite would be true.

00:30:49.320 But even just on, then the left were attacking Nancy Reagan. 0.96

00:30:53.900 They were pulling up some tabloid BS biography and saying that Nancy Reagan was actually herself promiscuous back in Hollywood, which is not true.

00:31:03.540 There's no evidence of it.

00:31:05.180 There were two actresses by the same name. 0.99

00:31:07.740 Nancy Reagan's maiden name is Nancy Davis.

00:31:09.920 There's another actress named Nancy Davis. 0.99

00:31:11.600 There's no evidence that Nancy Reagan, the lady who became Nancy Reagan, was ever promiscuous.

00:31:16.620 There is a fair bit of evidence that the other Nancy Davis was, perhaps.

00:31:21.380 And so anyway, they're just getting that wrong.

00:31:22.660 And then the left is, they're making all these sorts of ugly claims about Nancy Reagan.

00:31:25.580 But furthermore, furthermore, anyone who is claiming that they would rather be like Madonna, alone, on a bed, dressed up like a hooker, intentionally dressed, she's dressed up like a hooker to be sexually provocative in her 60s, that that's what you want to be rather than having your family around you dressed up like a normal, respectable person on your nice ranch.

00:31:45.560 They're lying to you.

00:31:46.980 That's obviously a lie.

00:31:49.600 Anyway, if you really think you'd rather be dressed up like a hooker on a bed alone at age 63 rather than standing around your nice family with, you know, everyone who loves you and, you know, dressed normally, then either that is evidence of a disordered will. 0.77

00:32:05.200 Your will has been so corrupted, maybe by porn or maybe just by a lot of bad ideas and a lot of bad behaviors in your life.

00:32:10.340 Or it's just a fatal dose of copium.

00:32:13.900 You are lying to yourself and trying to cope with your own bad views and decisions and way that you have lived your life.

00:32:24.760 But nobody, I don't think anybody who is in their right mind could look at those two pictures and actually say, no, I really, no, I really do want to be like Madonna.

00:32:33.040 No, you don't.

00:32:34.020 She looks miserable.

00:32:35.100 Okay.

00:32:35.520 And Nancy Reagan looks happy relatively.

00:32:38.340 This is a tough world.

00:32:39.340 There's always problems.

00:32:40.020 Everybody's got problems, but everyone wants to end up like the picture on the right, not like the picture on the left.

00:32:48.260 Speaking of the sexual revolution, just yesterday, the state of Arizona requested that the United States Supreme Court weigh in on a new pro-life law.

00:33:02.500 So there are these pro-life laws cropping up all over the country and there are different pro-life laws.

00:33:06.440 The pro-life law in Texas, for instance, is a law that allows people, ordinary citizens of Texas, to sue abortionists and in this way effectively prohibit abortion.

00:33:17.380 The pro-life law in Mississippi bans abortions after 15 weeks.

00:33:20.880 So before viability is defined by the Supreme Court.

00:33:24.000 This law in Arizona bans abortion that is done because of genetic abnormalities.

00:33:30.560 So right now, it's very common to, when a woman becomes pregnant, the woman and hopefully her husband go into the doctor and they're talking about how excited they are about their little bundle of joy.

00:33:41.140 And you look at a sonogram and at a certain point, the doctor, almost 100% of the time, will say, okay, now we're just going to screen for some genetic issues.

00:33:50.960 And pro-life people tend to respond to that and say, why?

00:33:57.260 What do you mean, why are you going to scan for a gene?

00:33:59.020 Oh, well, just because then we'll just decide how to proceed.

00:34:02.120 What do you mean decide how to proceed?

00:34:03.820 I guess that one thing you could do if you scan for certain issues, sometimes you can do surgery while the baby's in the womb.

00:34:08.560 And so, okay, that would be one reason.

00:34:10.320 But that's, that's not why most people do it.

00:34:12.100 And that's not what most doctors are thinking of.

00:34:13.800 What they are saying is, well, you know, we're going to screen for Down syndrome.

00:34:17.440 Oh, why?

00:34:18.040 Why do I, what are you not going to operate on the kid and cure the Down syndrome?

00:34:22.400 So why?

00:34:22.700 Well, because then we'll figure out how to proceed.

00:34:25.540 And what they mean is, they're going to do a test to figure out if your kid's retarded. 0.91

00:34:30.100 And if your kid's retarded, you're going to kill it. 1.00

00:34:31.980 That's what they're saying.

00:34:34.000 And I'm, I'm using blunt language for a reason here.

00:34:37.380 Because we have all these euphemisms, well, we're going to screen for abnormalities.

00:34:41.220 And then we'll decide if you want to use your, your choice and your reproductive health to continue with the, no, what you're saying is you think that we should kill retarded people, is what you're saying. 0.97

00:34:50.760 And you, you think that it's perfectly normal to do that.

00:34:53.780 And that's what a just and serious society does.

00:34:56.460 But of course, it's only a ghastly and cruel society that would do that.

00:35:00.860 So Arizona, rightly, is passing a law saying, no, we shouldn't, we shouldn't kill retarded people or people who have any other sorts of difficulties or, and it's just wrong to do that and we're not going to do it.

00:35:12.680 And of course, the libs are up in arms about it and it's going to go up to the Supreme Court.

00:35:17.080 This is great.

00:35:18.220 I'm glad this is going to the Supreme Court.

00:35:19.920 I'm glad it's going to the Supreme Court now while the Supreme Court is considering the more important abortion case, Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health Organization.

00:35:30.860 I am for the kitchen sink approach here.

00:35:34.140 The kitchen sink approach, meaning I want there to be 7 billion different pro-life laws on the books, all challenging Roe versus Wade, all challenging Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

00:35:44.720 And maybe they're for different reasons and maybe they've got different arguments and justifications and maybe they do different things.

00:35:51.360 But the ultimate effect is going to be stop killing babies for whatever reason.

00:35:55.640 Because they got Down syndrome, because of their sex, because of their race, because of, because the mother just doesn't like them, because the father doesn't like them, because we have this insane cult, whatever the reason.

00:36:06.560 The way that abortion became codified unjustly into U.S. law was the kitchen sink approach.

00:36:13.280 The libs just kept bringing cases for different reasons.

00:36:18.240 They kept inventing new rights in the Constitution and then they would invent new rights based on those rights.

00:36:23.580 So you'd have a right to an abortion found in the emanations and the penumbras of certain provisions.

00:36:29.600 It was just completely made up.

00:36:31.760 But because they threw the kitchen sink in, because they just used everything they had, abortion's been on the books for almost 50 years now.

00:36:39.260 Now, Planned Parenthood v. Casey changes, this was the case in 1992, changes the reasoning for why we need to have abortion, why there's a fake constitutional right to abortion from Roe v. Wade in 1973.

00:36:52.600 And yet it doesn't matter.

00:36:53.400 The effect was the same.

00:36:54.100 So I think we should do the same thing.

00:36:56.000 Now's the time.

00:36:58.100 Maybe the court is going to squish.

00:36:59.620 They usually do.

00:37:01.380 But we've ostensibly got six conservative judges.

00:37:04.780 Roe v. Wade is probably the single most egregious decision in the history of the United States.

00:37:09.420 Time to get rid of it.

00:37:13.440 Traditional views of human nature, really basic stuff like babies are babies and boys are not girls, are winning political issues. 0.88

00:37:23.300 The libs have convinced us.

00:37:24.920 They've convinced not us, but they've convinced a lot of squishes that if you stand up and say don't kill babies, that's going to be a big loser when you're running for office.

00:37:32.280 Oh, you can't go out and say that you think we shouldn't kill babies because, oh, you're going to lose votes.

00:37:38.160 You're not going to get elected.

00:37:38.920 You've got to take the position that we should be able to kill babies up until nine months in the womb.

00:37:43.080 And then that'll be really popular.

00:37:45.100 That's what the people want.

00:37:46.180 There's no evidence of that.

00:37:47.340 Same thing on the sexual identity stuff.

00:37:50.700 If you dare say that men are not really women, you're going to look like a crazy retrograde reactionary.

00:37:56.460 That's such an unpopular view.

00:37:58.520 Don't you deny that there's such a thing as transgenderism and that the soul has nothing to do with the body?

00:38:04.160 Oh, you'll lose.

00:38:05.940 B.S.

00:38:06.400 That's a winner.

00:38:06.960 We just won a race in Virginia over this.

00:38:10.340 Transgenderism is probably the number one reason why Glenn Youngkin won his race in Virginia and beat Terry McAuliffe.

00:38:18.600 Because a dude in a skirt walked into a girl's bathroom and raped a girl in Loudoun County.

00:38:23.940 And then the school covered it up and sent him to another school.

00:38:26.180 And he did basically the same thing again.

00:38:28.200 And parents were outraged over this.

00:38:29.820 And voters were outraged.

00:38:30.880 And they booted out the Dems.

00:38:32.500 And my further evidence of this is that Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, has just flip-flopped on transgenderism in the right direction.

00:38:43.120 So you recall, there was a bill in South Dakota some months ago that prohibited dudes from playing in the girls' sports leagues.

00:38:53.460 And Kristi Noem didn't want to sign it.

00:38:56.240 And she was willing to ban dudes from the girls' sports leagues in K-12 education, but not in college.

00:39:03.920 Now, why?

00:39:04.500 Why is this?

00:39:05.200 It seems like a total political winner to me to ban that.

00:39:08.760 It seems perfectly right and natural and electorally popular.

00:39:12.160 But she said, well, I don't know.

00:39:13.560 We might lose some sporting events.

00:39:14.760 She probably got a call from the NCAA.

00:39:16.180 She probably got a call from some donors who do not reflect the views of the American people or, I suspect, her constituents.

00:39:23.200 And so she totally squished on it. 0.68

00:39:24.680 And that was really unfortunate.

00:39:26.240 Well, now she's gone in the other direction.

00:39:28.660 And I'm glad she flipped.

00:39:29.760 You know, there are going to be some people who say, well, no, it's not real.

00:39:33.700 There's some trick hidden there.

00:39:35.060 I don't know.

00:39:35.380 I've read the text of the bill.

00:39:37.100 It doesn't seem like there's a trick in there.

00:39:38.720 Maybe it is.

00:39:39.420 Or they'll say she's being insincere.

00:39:41.040 She's being disingenuous. 0.92

00:39:42.400 Yeah, maybe she is.

00:39:43.160 I don't know.

00:39:43.460 I have no idea if she's being sincere on this issue or not.

00:39:46.940 But I don't really care that much.

00:39:50.580 The people who are saying, well, she doesn't really believe it.

00:39:53.060 She's not doing it for the right reasons.

00:39:54.440 That's the glass half empty view of what's going on.

00:39:57.800 The glass half full view is, yeah, she flip-flopped to a better position. 0.98

00:40:02.480 Good.

00:40:02.720 I want my, I want politicians who hold bad positions to flip-flop to better positions. 0.94

00:40:07.460 And I don't, I'm not going to attack them for it.

00:40:09.860 I'm glad.

00:40:10.260 I'm going to say thanks, or I'm going to say good job.

00:40:13.400 Or I'm going to celebrate that some politicians who are maybe a little less principled and

00:40:22.200 more likely to just go whichever the winds will blow for their personal advantage.

00:40:27.700 I'm glad when the winds are clearly blowing in the direction of what is right, as is obviously the case on this sexual identity stuff.

00:40:39.460 Speaking of sports, there is a new documentary out from ESPN.

00:40:45.420 And this is a documentary on one of the worst hate crimes in American history.

00:40:53.900 This is a documentary about a hate crime almost as bad and almost as real as the attack on Jussie Smollett in downtown Chicago.

00:41:04.460 You remember when the white supremacist, homophobic, gay Nigerian man attacked Jussie Smollett because Chicago is MAGA country.

00:41:13.640 Well, this, this was not quite as serious as that, but it was, it was close.

00:41:17.100 This was the attack on Bubba Wallace.

00:41:20.480 Bubba Wallace is apparently a NASCAR driver.

00:41:22.880 It took place at the Talladega Speedway and they found a noose hanging in the garage.

00:41:29.980 I bet, you know, we didn't see it, but I bet there were burning crosses everywhere.

00:41:33.140 I bet there's probably a Klan rally happening right outside the garage, right?

00:41:36.060 Is that what happened?

00:41:37.260 Well, if you listen to the trailer for this documentary, that's probably the conclusion you would draw.

00:41:43.320 The most incredible, non-competitive moment in sports I've ever seen.

00:41:51.380 That moment, I could feel the weight of that moment.

00:41:53.660 And I think we all did as we were walking.

00:41:55.420 When I get out of the car, I look back, and I was like, holy s**t, it's the whole garage.

00:42:07.560 The whole garage.

00:42:09.180 And that's when I lost it.

00:42:10.260 In the midst of all the turmoil that was going on in the world, with the black and white, 0.98

00:42:29.720 the hatred and everything that was going on, the entire NASCAR family rallied behind my son.

00:42:43.420 Wow.

00:42:44.100 Just brings a tear to your eye for how much the United States has completely lost its mind.

00:42:51.840 Here is the story being told by that trailer.

00:42:56.660 White supremacy is pervasive.

00:43:00.160 Black men can barely walk out of their homes without being chased down.

00:43:03.400 That's what LeBron James said.

00:43:04.960 And this black NASCAR driver found a noose hanging in his stall from the hate crime.

00:43:12.740 But, but, the, the drivers from NASCAR, the whole NASCAR family, they decided to overcome

00:43:21.680 their racism, which is so, so pervasive.

00:43:24.720 And they stood up and they said, no, we don't want to attack you, Bubba.

00:43:30.780 We support you and we oppose all those racists and white supremacists.

00:43:35.300 And Bubba was so overwhelmed because, because the default mode in America now is for all these

00:43:41.160 white supremacists to just lynch black guys left and right.

00:43:43.760 That's what's going on constantly.

00:43:45.160 And amid all the turmoil and the hatred of the blacks and the whites, finally, finally, 0.59

00:43:54.100 there was a moment of racial unity.

00:43:57.400 None of that happened.

00:43:58.420 It was just a tie to pull the door down.

00:44:00.380 It wasn't a noose.

00:44:01.680 It was a little tie to pull the door down.

00:44:04.100 None of it, it had been there for months and months.

00:44:07.720 It had nothing to do with Bubba Wallace.

00:44:09.520 It was just a little tie.

00:44:14.120 Yeah, it was not surprising that all these NASCAR people came out to support Bubba Wallace

00:44:19.860 over this fictional event because there aren't any white supremacists or Klansmen.

00:44:25.740 They're, it's just, it's not real.

00:44:27.220 It's not real.

00:44:27.920 None of this is real.

00:44:29.300 There's no, the racial, the only racial turmoil in recent years was when BLM burnt the country 0.97

00:44:35.000 down last year.

00:44:35.820 And it wasn't white supremacists doing it.

00:44:37.700 It was BLM and Antifa at the encouragement of leftist politicians, very prominent ones,

00:44:43.760 including the current president and vice president of the United States.

00:44:47.440 And to be as fair as I can to BLM, I'm not talking about the radicals and the real leaders

00:44:52.680 and the really vicious people.

00:44:53.660 I'm talking about the regular old idiots who just go along with it.

00:44:56.240 They did it in no small part because of the lie being perpetrated by these people, by ESPN

00:45:02.340 and by the liberal establishment, that there's this pervasive problem of white supremacy and

00:45:06.280 that nooses are being left around every black guy's house, none of which is happening.

00:45:10.460 It's just all fake.

00:45:11.880 It's all completely fake.

00:45:14.460 It's not a documentary.

00:45:15.880 It is a fable.

00:45:19.060 It is a legend being told.

00:45:21.500 It is a lie being told as the truth by propagandists.

00:45:26.480 It is a mass psychosis that we are watching go on.

00:45:31.720 It is a kind of religious ecstasy that you're seeing happen on that track at NASCAR and in

00:45:37.960 the movie and the people being moved to tears because finally there's a solution to this

00:45:42.900 problem that doesn't exist.

00:45:47.100 And you know what?

00:45:48.240 I don't even really blame them.

00:45:50.080 One, I don't blame the people who are under the spell of the media.

00:45:52.740 The media are very, very powerful.

00:45:54.880 But I don't even blame the people who are engaging in these performances.

00:46:00.680 These performances are religious liturgies.

00:46:03.080 When you go out and you hold hands and you sing about the racial unity or frankly even

00:46:09.840 when you go out and loot and burn like BLM did, it is a kind of religious liturgy. 0.80

00:46:14.020 And man is a religious being.

00:46:16.040 Okay?

00:46:16.320 And we need some kind of religion because we know that we're not quite at home in this

00:46:20.720 world.

00:46:21.780 It's kind of weird that we didn't create ourselves.

00:46:23.980 We just came into being.

00:46:25.020 We know that there are things like beauty and truth and right and wrong and goodness and

00:46:28.320 morality and joy.

00:46:29.320 And we can't make sense of it because those aren't physical things.

00:46:31.900 But we see the physical world.

00:46:33.440 And so we know that there is a spiritual and metaphysical world.

00:46:36.040 But there's no satisfaction to those longings in a world that tells you that religion is 1.00

00:46:40.420 bogus and Christianity is fake. 0.99

00:46:42.020 But we still have that desire.

00:46:43.680 And so we fall into new religions.

00:46:45.960 Weird, kooky, racial religions. 1.00

00:46:48.180 Neo-pagan religions that are divorced from reality such as the racial narratives going on 0.71

00:46:54.680 in our country right now.

00:46:56.800 It is no coincidence that right now, a new study that came out from Pew Research, three

00:47:02.220 in ten Americans have what they think is no religion.

00:47:05.080 This is up ten points over the course of ten years.

00:47:09.420 They say they have no religion.

00:47:11.400 They're calling this secularization, the de-Christianization of America.

00:47:14.500 It's de-Christianization. 0.92

00:47:15.660 But these people don't have no religion.

00:47:17.580 They just have a different religion because nobody has no religion because everybody's got 1.00

00:47:21.060 to serve somebody.

00:47:24.140 There is a new religion.

00:47:26.380 It's just way weirder and way less true and way more destructive than the old religion 1.00

00:47:33.400 we had called Christianity.

00:47:35.560 Who you serve in, man?

00:47:36.940 What religion are you taking part of?
