00:00:59.040 The line between ideology and psychosis is very, very blurry sometimes.
00:01:05.260 And so we will delve the depths of left-wing activism in clips assembled by the producers
00:01:12.520 to figure out, are these breakdowns coming from principles?
00:01:17.880 Yeah.
00:01:18.860 Ideology?
00:01:19.880 Yeah.
00:01:20.800 Bad ideas?
00:01:22.140 Yeah. 1.00
00:01:22.680 or do these people just need to be committed to an insane asylum? 0.99
00:01:27.800 Take it away.
00:01:29.080 Well, yes, I do, in fact, wish I had a man to take care of it.
00:01:33.200 But if I start crying or raising my voice,
00:01:36.420 a man is going to tell me that he's too busy and he has work to get done,
00:01:39.780 and maybe I should calm down before he comes and helps me handle it.
00:01:42.980 So, yes, I would love a man to come and handle it.
00:01:47.340 Is there a man who can handle it?
00:01:50.900 That's not that crazy.
00:01:51.920 okay that's not that's that's like median liberal woman behavior that's not i am i'm not joking
00:02:00.440 you could tell look there's some bad signs here the like the crazy neon hair is a little bit of 1.00
00:02:06.280 a cry for help she's got the side i've actually never seen this she's got both the side nose ring 1.00
00:02:11.720 which it's a little quirky but it can be it can be cute it could be fine but then she's got the
00:02:17.200 septum bull ring which is a sign that something has gone horribly wrong in this person's life
00:02:20.840 and maybe a sign of spiritual oppression.
00:02:22.360 I think it often is.
00:02:24.780 Regardless, okay, she's got all these red flags.
00:02:26.760 But what does she say?
00:02:27.380 She goes, yes, I need a man to calm me down.
00:02:29.980 I think she's being honest.
00:02:30.920 I don't think she's being sarcastic or ironic
00:02:32.480 or anything like that.
00:02:33.580 She says, I need a man to calm me down,
00:02:34.680 but no man wants to deal with me 0.80
00:02:35.780 and no man knows how to husband me or lead me.
00:02:39.500 All of which is probably true. 1.00
00:02:40.980 The woman clearly has a little bit of a screw loose, 0.97
00:02:43.300 but I don't think this is a total aberration. 0.99
00:02:47.140 I think it's, I think this woman is different from like your median kind of lib, normal woman, only in degree, not in kind. 0.56
00:02:57.780 And so I bet, I bet if she met a guy who was like a real guy and not some lib wimp, if she met a real guy who acted like a man and like, I don't know, bought her dinner. 0.54
00:03:10.480 And for the lady, perhaps a salad?
00:03:14.540 Perhaps not.
00:03:15.400 I'll have the steak
00:03:17.260 smothered in onions. 0.69
00:03:19.180 And told her to calm down in a way that was
00:03:21.440 assertive without seeming disdainful.
00:03:23.680 I can explain if you just calm
00:03:25.420 down! And he actually was
00:03:27.440 just like, hey lady, get it together. Come on, get a hold of
00:03:29.380 yourself. You haven't touched your hors d'oeuvre.
00:03:31.480 Come on, have another drink, please.
00:03:33.280 Two shots of vodka.
00:03:39.060 If a guy did that, it would be like that
00:03:41.300 viral video. Do you remember the gal
00:03:43.040 who, I guess she was a lesbian or bisexual, 0.99
00:03:45.680 but she goes on a date with some finance bro
00:03:47.280 and it was just, her mind exploded.
00:03:50.540 She's like, wait a second, this is awesome. 1.00
00:03:52.760 Hold on, I don't need to be like a bisexual polyamorous lib. 1.00
00:03:58.100 Oh, cool. 1.00
00:03:59.340 Wow, it was nuts.
00:04:00.520 My mind is blown.
00:04:01.520 So anyway, I think that's what would happen with her.
00:04:04.200 If she has been driven to psychosis,
00:04:06.100 it is the psychosis of our modern liberal age.
00:04:08.680 It's nothing just about, she's salvageable.
00:04:11.800 Next one.
00:04:12.120 today is my abortion anniversary ah two years ago i had an abortion and i think that that is a
00:04:21.240 decision and a day worth celebrating my best friend made me a care package that had my favorite
00:04:28.860 candies and like little why do you need a care package so i gave myself a spa day why do you 0.98
00:04:33.980 need a spa day i thought you were gonna sell on heating pads to get through the cramps and
00:04:39.040 everything and i was just surrounded by people that loved and supported me i had support for
00:04:46.040 something that's just universally no second thoughts no no second thoughts this is not a
00:04:50.300 bad feelings whatsoever nothing and here two years later i'm still talking about the same way
00:04:58.820 i have no regrets clearly no sense of sadness no negative thoughts surrounding the decision
00:05:07.020 whatsoever i honestly rarely even think yeah obviously because it's two years later and
00:05:14.820 you're still making videos about it so obviously you don't think about it very much this is very
00:05:19.260 sad i'm being i'm being a little harsh maybe maybe i'm not being harsh enough but this is
00:05:25.380 clearly psychological and it's really sad because she killed her kid like that's the
00:05:31.620 that's the most sad part of it. And then the next sad part of it is she's obviously racked with guilt
00:05:37.840 and regret over it. And then the next sad part of it is she can't admit to herself that she's
00:05:42.820 racked with guilt and regret that she killed her kid. So she can't get over it. And she can't even
00:05:47.560 ask for forgiveness, which is available to her if she's willing to ask for it. So the whole thing
00:05:52.640 is really sad. When I was young, I was not pro-life. I became pro-life speaking to a female
00:05:57.440 bioethicist during a fellowship in college when I was like 21. But I grew up in New York. I was
00:06:03.200 surrounded mostly by liberals. So it never even occurred to me that pro-life, the pro-life view
00:06:08.880 was legitimate. I just all, I believed as a young, you know, teenager growing up in a liberal place,
00:06:15.000 I was never really all that liberal, but my whole environment was. I thought that pro-life activism
00:06:22.100 was psychological. I thought it was that people hated women. I just, I actually, I agreed with 0.98
00:06:26.880 the left. That's what I thought. That's really all I knew. Then I became pro-life and I thought
00:06:33.580 that the abortion issue was all about ideology, different first principles, the liberal idol of
00:06:39.320 individual choice versus the conservative recognition of a transcendent moral order
00:06:43.340 and a binding moral order. And I thought it was a real sort of philosophical ideological debate.
00:06:48.000 The older I get, the more I realize, no, it actually is about psychology, but it's in the
00:06:52.640 opposite direction. It's not that pro-lifers hate women, of course. It's these women who go
00:06:57.720 to the march, the pro-abortion march, slut walk, you know, shout your abortion. 0.98
00:07:06.500 They obviously just feel regret. And then they talk for years and years and years about how they 0.98
00:07:11.200 never even think about their abortion. But they just, they know because the natural law is
00:07:15.200 inscribed on every human heart, they know that they've done something horribly, horribly wrong.
00:07:19.320 and they can't face that.
00:07:21.320 They can't face their own sin.
00:07:23.460 This is an expression of what the devil does to you,
00:07:27.660 which is that the devil whispers in your ear
00:07:29.040 before you sin and says, it's not a big deal.
00:07:31.260 Then the minute you commit the sin,
00:07:32.400 he says, you can never be forgiven.
00:07:33.680 And so he traps you that way. 0.60
00:07:35.360 And this woman remains in a prison of her own making. 0.82
00:07:39.460 But this is a more extreme version 1.00
00:07:41.800 because it's so oblivious.
00:07:44.200 Two years later, she goes,
00:07:45.540 I think my abortion was awesome.
00:07:47.740 You know, people gave me care packages.
00:07:49.740 Why do you need a care package if it was awesome?
00:07:51.580 I don't need, when I go on vacation to the beach
00:07:54.100 and I'm sipping a Mai Tai,
00:07:55.280 no one sends me a care package
00:07:56.520 to help me get through the experience.
00:08:02.520 Obviously, you had a care package
00:08:04.420 because you felt vulnerable
00:08:06.100 and you felt unsure of yourself
00:08:07.820 and uneasy and sad.
00:08:10.260 And anyway, she says,
00:08:12.080 I never even think about it,
00:08:13.080 which is why I decided to make this lengthy video
00:08:14.740 two years later about how I never think about it.
00:08:17.140 Okay.
00:08:17.280 Okay. That's a deep, a deep level of psychological trouble. Go to preworn.com slash Knowles,
00:08:24.500 K-N-W-L-E-S. Doctors told a woman named Alba that pregnancy was impossible. Her husband's
00:08:29.740 diagnosis confirmed it. A child of their own simply wasn't going to happen. Then the impossible
00:08:34.600 happened. Alba was pregnant. We might call that a miracle, but to Alba, it didn't feel like one.
00:08:40.220 That positive pregnancy test felt like a mistake, a cruel twist of science.
00:08:43.580 she did not understand or want. Nothing added up. She had accepted the pregnancy was not possible.
00:08:49.420 This baby was never planned. Suddenly, she was confused, afraid, and overwhelmed. What should
00:08:53.180 have felt like a miracle felt like a crisis. Then Alba walked into a pre-born network clinic.
00:08:58.400 She was welcomed with compassion, given a free ultrasound. When she saw her baby and heard that
00:09:01.900 tiny heartbeat, everything changed. Fear gave way to hope. Alba chose life. Today, baby Laura is
00:09:07.760 healthy and thriving, a reminder that when God is writing the story, impossible does not get the
00:09:12.300 final word. Right now, another mother needs that moment. You can give it to her. Just $28 helps
00:09:18.600 provide one life-saving ultrasound. $140 helps rescue five babies. Please give today, dial pound

00:09:57.820 even need to do anything anymore. They are ready. All right. Okay. Nice. Hey.
00:10:05.460 okay so the the crazy face i assume we're talking about the lady not the guy
00:10:18.140 the the crazy face and all that i don't think she's actually bipolar necessarily i mean who
00:10:24.540 knows maybe she is but i think what this is is you have a kind of millennial aging theater kid
00:10:31.120 who is, I guess, where the ideology and the psychology comes into it
00:10:36.940 is more the nature of that dance.
00:10:38.520 They're doing this kind of foreign dance and this foreign ritual,
00:10:41.120 and she's just, like, uncomfortably enthusiastic about it.
00:10:48.660 Jenna Lumu absolutely living the harker.
00:10:55.020 But even if you tone down the enthusiasm,
00:10:57.280 them. This here is almost a perfect intersection of ideology and psychology. The libs prefer
00:11:04.720 foreign things to familiar things. The libs prefer strangers to their family and friends.
00:11:09.960 That's like borne out by social science. That heat map of affection represents an inversion 0.99
00:11:15.660 of the order of love, the order amoris or the order caritatis, where you care more about people
00:11:21.480 who are distant, far away, and ephemeral than you do about the people who are near you. So you're
00:11:26.760 a humanitarian, but you're nasty at everyone you actually know. That is more an issue for the left.
00:11:31.260 The knock on the right is that we only care about people that we know, and we're callous
00:11:34.980 with regard to the people who are more distant. That's at least the attack the left makes on us.
00:11:39.060 And the fact that women embrace this foreign stuff is the example of it. You get all these 1.00
00:11:46.260 white libs who are doing yoga. They don't really know anything about yoga. I don't encourage them 1.00
00:11:51.220 to do yoga. I don't encourage them to participate in what is effectively a Hindu liturgical ritual,
00:11:55.640 which has deep philosophical and ultimately religious meaning. 0.97
00:12:02.060 But they do that because they're not going to go to church.
00:12:05.800 They want to become spiritual,
00:12:06.960 but they're not going to engage in the religion
00:12:09.540 that has shaped them and their culture
00:12:10.900 and the religion that happens to be true, which is Christianity. 0.96
00:12:13.840 No, no, no. 0.82
00:12:14.320 They want to feel spiritual in a distant way.
00:12:17.080 They want to care for people in a distant way.
00:12:19.780 They're going to stick their mother in a home, 0.99
00:12:21.380 but they're going to go build a house in Tahiti or whatever, 1.00
00:12:24.840 or in Nicaragua or something.
00:12:26.440 So this is an expression of that.
00:12:28.780 They're not going to learn the waltz.
00:12:30.460 They're not going to go out there
00:12:31.940 or even learn to tango,
00:12:33.400 which is vaguely exotic.
00:12:38.260 No, no, no.
00:12:38.900 They're going to do some kind of tribal dance 0.74
00:12:40.640 with some pagan religion.
00:12:42.840 And that to them is,
00:12:44.960 that's an expression of openness and curiosity.
00:12:48.500 But really what's underlying that
00:12:50.360 is a kind of contempt of the familiar,
00:12:51.960 which defines leftism.
00:12:56.020 Now here, I couldn't tell you what comes first.
00:12:58.700 Is it the, this is like a waltz
00:13:00.880 in that you don't always know who's leading.
00:13:02.500 Is it that the ideology orders their loves further away
00:13:07.560 or is it that, you know,
00:13:09.460 they just kind of like they don't like their dad
00:13:11.040 so they adopt the ideology that inverts the order of love.
00:13:14.540 That one is, that's much more ambiguous.
00:13:17.360 Next one.
00:13:21.960 yeah so it focuses in at the lindsey clancy trial on these women who are there i guess this is the 1.00
00:13:34.800 press you need all these weird looking women the cameras all around and you get this one chick who 1.00
00:13:39.020 was just fired by vanity fair she grew up with lindsey clancy and she looks like a total psycho 1.00
00:13:44.700 smiling grinning winking at the camera as this woman is on trial for murder vanity fair hired 1.00
00:13:50.440 this lady to write a piece about it. She was fired happily. Yeah, just a total psycho, right? 1.00
00:13:57.180 There is no real ideological component here. This is pure sin darkening the intellect. This is pure 0.99
00:14:07.160 psychosis, if not psychopathy. There's not much ideologically to say here. That woman should
00:14:15.300 certainly be kept out of Vanity Fair and out of the courtroom and probably out of polite society 1.00
00:14:19.700 for some time.
00:14:20.280 Next question.
00:14:22.380 Next video. 1.00
00:14:23.440 Hey, dumbasses. 1.00
00:14:24.800 Republicans just denied a bill 1.00
00:14:27.720 that would protect women's rights to vote. 1.00
00:14:29.840 Septim piercing. 1.00
00:14:30.500 They blocked it. 1.00
00:14:32.340 Black. 1.00
00:14:38.020 Wait, what did they do?
00:14:39.700 What is she accusing them of doing?
00:14:40.740 I was too taken in by the septim piercing,
00:14:43.900 which is one of the marks of spiritual oppression.
00:14:46.360 a master ring to control all others and into this ring he poured his cruelty his malice
00:14:54.440 one ring to rule them all republicans just denied a bill that would protect women's rights to vote
00:15:02.920 they blocked it if only if only huh
00:15:06.460 okay so what she said i i don't even know what she's talking about she might be referring to
00:15:18.700 like voter id laws like the save america act which says that if you're going to vote in federal
00:15:25.060 elections you have to prove that you are who you say you are you have to prove that you're an
00:15:28.740 eligible voter and the libs have made this really weak stretch of an argument that this denies
00:15:36.380 women the right to vote because sometimes women change their names and they don't get a new 0.90
00:15:43.480 driver's license or something. I don't, I don't, it's like really weak. Maybe that's what she's 0.99
00:15:47.940 talking about. But if Republicans had really come out and not denied the right to vote of all women,
00:15:52.580 but just denied the right to vote of like that woman, that would be great. I would max out my 0.95
00:15:57.020 donations to the Republican party if that were the case, but that did not happen. Next one.
00:16:00.780 and i have to go to work my life is falling apart and i have to get up and go to work
00:16:08.580 the world is falling apart but i have to go to work right they all have septum piercings
00:16:18.640 i'm a black woman in america scared for my life but i have to get up and go to work
00:16:24.240 okay so the septum is that one like bejeweled that wow they all have the septum piercing it's
00:16:40.020 just it's like 10 out of 10 it's the greatest rule of thumb but this one is a perfect one to
00:16:45.640 and done. Because she's making two declarations here, things vaguely resembling speech. And one
00:16:54.580 of them is ideological and one of them is psychological. The ideological one is I'm a
00:16:59.140 black woman in America. I'm scared for my life. That comes from ideology. This ideology, this
00:17:04.280 leftist ideology that says that black people, innocent black people are just gunned down by
00:17:08.900 the Ku Klux Klan every day in America or something. And that's totally made up. You know, take a look 0.99
00:17:14.100 at the crime statistics, take a look at officer-involved killings. That just doesn't happen.
00:17:19.140 That statistically never happens and has not happened for a very, very, very, very long time.
00:17:24.300 So she probably doesn't know that. So she believes what she hears on CNN. And so she thinks that it's
00:17:30.440 dangerous to be an innocent black person in America. It is dangerous in black communities 0.98
00:17:34.840 from black criminals, but it's not dangerous, you know, when you're walking around supposedly 0.99
00:17:39.140 racist whites or police officers that you're not at any risk whatsoever. So that's the ideological 0.97
00:17:43.540 part. The psychological part, though, is
00:17:45.240 separate, which is, she says, I have to go to work, and I don't
00:17:47.440 want to go to work. 0.99
00:17:49.580 I think most women don't want to go to work. 1.00
00:17:52.340 Women work. Women 1.00
00:17:53.500 want to work. They want to do things. I'm not accusing 1.00
00:17:55.540 women of wanting to sit on a couch and eat bonbons all day.
00:17:57.740 What are you doing all day? Eating bonbons? 1.00
00:17:59.880 But they don't want,
00:18:01.980 they generally speaking don't want to go
00:18:03.520 to the widget factory and do the spreadsheets.
00:18:05.260 They don't generally want careers.
00:18:08.320 They think they want,
00:18:09.280 they want to want careers. They're told by their teachers
00:18:11.520 and their parents and aunts and uncles
00:18:13.460 sometimes that they want that they are to want careers but they don't usually maybe for a little 1.00
00:18:19.420 bit they do but then you know what they really ultimately i think most women want to stay home 1.00
00:18:24.260 and make a home and have kids and have a husband and do that stuff which involves a ton of work 1.00
00:18:29.560 but it does not involve getting up and driving to the factory and doing the nine to five or the eight
00:18:34.320 to six or the work on weekends or they don't actually want to do that and they've never really
00:18:38.660 wanted to do that that's borne out by social science statistics there's always an exception 0.77
00:18:44.060 there's always the margaret thatcher exception but for the vast majority of women that's the
00:18:48.780 case so there that's not really it's ideological in the sense that it was the left that told them
00:18:52.080 they had to go work in the factories but it's psychological in that her distress is coming
00:18:57.100 from the fact that she is a woman and she is told she has to act like a man it's the transgenderism
00:19:03.780 of modern labor policy that says that women have to act like men for most of the day.
00:19:09.940 So that is psychological, and you can fix it, but you'd have to fix the ideology first. Okay, wow.
00:19:16.060 My biggest takeaway is if you see the septum piercing, run.
