Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - ANOTHER Poll Shows HALF Of U.S. Think Civil War is Coming w-Dennis Prager

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:41.000 you a new poll has come out and it should surprise no one

00:01:08.000 It shows that about half the country thinks that in their lifetime in the U.S.

00:01:12.000 there will be a civil war, and that more than half of Democrats and Republicans believe America will cease to exist as a democracy.

00:01:19.000 Now I know, it's a bit cliche.

00:01:21.000 Tim cast IRL, Tim Pool coming on saying, civil war!

00:01:24.000 He screams into the microphone.

00:01:25.000 But there's a reason we're doing this.

00:01:26.000 Because today we're being joined by Dennis Prager.

00:01:29.000 And we didn't want to just do the typical, like, here's the news, let's talk.

00:01:32.000 We want to have a deeper conversation of the conflict happening in this country, what is currently going on around it, and we'll talk about a variety of issues as to why it's happening, potential solutions, and just have a deeper conversation than just jumping from story to story.

00:01:45.000 So, without further ado, joining us is Dennis Prager.

00:01:49.000 Great to be with you.

00:01:50.000 One of the reasons, aside obviously from being with you, I just want to note that my son is a huge fan of yours and for a good part of a year said, Dad, you've got to go on Tim Poole.

00:02:05.000 Wow, awesome.

00:02:06.000 Glad, honored, and privileged to have you.

00:02:09.000 It is an honor and a privilege to have you here.

00:02:11.000 Thank you.

00:02:11.000 Even before the show started, I kept having to tell Ian, like, calm down.

00:02:14.000 Yeah, so many questions.

00:02:15.000 You're saying so much interesting and amazing things.

00:02:17.000 It's going to be a really fun conversation.

00:02:19.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:02:20.000 We do have a bunch of news that will likely come up, of course, outside of just this poll.

00:02:25.000 We have, in this vein of civil war, I believe it's 17 pregnancy centers have been firebombed.

00:02:30.000 Correct, yep.

00:02:31.000 This is absolutely insane because this strikes the heart of what the actual goal of the establishment in the left is when it comes to abortion.

00:02:38.000 It's certainly not helping underprivileged women have children. 1.00

00:02:41.000 So we'll get into all this stuff as part of the larger conversation.

00:02:43.000 We also got Luke Rudkowski.

00:02:45.000 And it's only going to get more insane.

00:02:47.000 Dennis, thank you so much for coming on.

00:02:49.000 My name is Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange.org.

00:02:51.000 I am your humble t-shirt vendor.

00:02:53.000 Today, I have a visual representation of what's happening to the American people.

00:02:57.000 It's a shirt that says that you will own nothing and be happy, and it has a representation of Klaus Schwab committing armed robbery against you. 0.50

00:03:06.000 If you like the t-shirt, you can get it on thebestpoliticalshirts.com, and because you do, I'm here.

00:03:11.000 Thanks so much for having me.

00:03:12.000 Shout out to things getting more insane.

00:03:13.000 I want to show you guys, someone sent this to me.

00:03:15.000 Look at this.

00:03:16.000 It's Jesus.

00:03:18.000 This is crazy.

00:03:19.000 Giant-sized Crossland.

00:03:20.000 That's so epic.

00:03:21.000 Thank you for sending that out.

00:03:23.000 And let's get rolling, Dennis, because I want to hear some more stuff.

00:03:25.000 For those that live in New York City, if you go to Times Square, you can see a giant billboard with Ian on it.

00:03:29.000 It's live, back-to-back.

00:03:31.000 Tim and Ian, yeah.

00:03:32.000 That's a pretty cool look.

00:03:33.000 Well, actually, it cycles between me, Luke, and Michael Malice, and then always you.

00:03:38.000 And then you're, like, on the billboard right next to it.

00:03:39.000 Right.

00:03:40.000 So it's always, like, back.

00:03:41.000 That's pretty cool.

00:03:41.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:03:42.000 Dude, I'm looking forward to talking about communism, man.

00:03:44.000 I didn't know until tonight that you had studied it so in-depth.

00:03:47.000 In depth.

00:03:48.000 That was my field of study.

00:03:50.000 And the sad part is I never thought it would be relevant to America.

00:03:55.000 I studied it in order to understand our enemy in the Cold War.

00:03:59.000 So I studied Russian.

00:04:00.000 I went to communist countries almost every year.

00:04:03.000 And lo and behold, the threat is very real in our country.

00:04:10.000 I must admit, although I have a very somber view of mankind, I really did believe that this was the land of the free and the home of the brave.

00:04:19.000 Absolutely.

00:04:19.000 We'll get into all that stuff.

00:04:20.000 free this is the land of free speech why we got the Statue of Liberty France

00:04:24.000 didn't give it to Belgium or Germany or England or anybody else we deserved it I

00:04:29.000 didn't think free speech would be threatened in America and it is and

00:04:34.000 that's the that's the most important freedom and that's the first thing that

00:04:38.000 they suppress along with guns as it happens we'll get in all that stuff we

00:04:42.000 got lady president buttons I am also here in the corner That is where I like to push buttons. 1.00

00:04:45.000 I'm stoked for tonight.

00:04:46.000 It's gonna be a great crossover episode.

00:04:48.000 Dennis has so much to say, and I'm thrilled to hear it all.

00:04:51.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to TimCast.com and become a member to help support our work.

00:04:57.000 At TimCast.com, you'll get exclusive members-only segments from this show.

00:05:00.000 We put those up Monday through Thursday at 11 p.m., so we're gonna have one of those up tonight.

00:05:04.000 We also have a whole bunch of journalists, and as a member, you're helping support their work.

00:05:09.000 And you'll also be supporting our infrastructure.

00:05:11.000 As you know, we use Rumble infrastructure for the backend and for our video player so that we can be more resilient against censorship and actively defy Silicon Valley and the big tech censors.

00:05:21.000 I know we're still on YouTube, but don't worry.

00:05:23.000 We are working on it actively behind the scenes.

00:05:25.000 There's only so much we can do, but we do have some announcements coming soon, and it's going to be a whole lot of fun.

00:05:30.000 We'll see how things play out.

00:05:31.000 But for the meantime, don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.

00:05:37.000 Let's jump to this first story.

00:05:39.000 Something interesting to kick off this greater conversation.

00:05:42.000 The Daily Mail reports more than half of Democrats and Republicans believe America will cease to exist as a democracy, according to a new poll.

00:05:51.000 They also go on to say, The poll found the majority of Republicans, 52%, say that it's likely there will be a civil war in the U.S.

00:05:58.000 in their lifetime, while half of independents, 50%, and a plurality of Democrats, 46%, agree.

00:06:05.000 The poll surveyed 1,541 adults and was conducted from June 10th, the day of the January 6th hearing, until June 13th.

00:06:17.000 It also found Americans have largely given up on one another.

00:06:21.000 So before the show, you know, we normally what we would do is we pull up like the biggest, most relevant story and issues around it, and we decided we'd do something inverted.

00:06:31.000 And we would talk with Dennis Prager about what's going on, why people are experiencing this first from your point of view, and then have that actually lead into the news stories as opposed to the way around.

00:06:41.000 This is not the first poll we've seen where people think civil war is coming.

00:06:44.000 We also had a poll that came out, or I should say a survey, that came out from the SPLC, whether you trust them or not.

00:06:49.000 I'm not a big fan.

00:06:50.000 But it showed that the younger generation is more likely to support political assassination and revolution.

00:06:56.000 My view is once the older generation ages out, as it were, either leaves the political fight altogether or passes on, The next generations are going to be increasingly more prone to violence, which ultimately will lead to civil war or violence.

00:07:12.000 I'm curious as to your thoughts, why you think people feel this way, or what do you think is happening that's causing it?

00:07:20.000 So, let me give you an example.

00:07:22.000 And I don't know how this registers with you, because I remember when I was a kid and I would hear older people say, you know, when I was a kid, and I don't remember how I reacted.

00:07:34.000 Either I reacted, oh, I'm very curious to know what it was like when you were a kid, or, gee, I've heard that before.

00:07:41.000 But I'll take that risk.

00:07:42.000 When I was a kid, There was one truly given in this country.

00:07:48.000 You could say whatever you wanted.

00:07:49.000 And I remember it because I would play, I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and we'd play stickball.

00:07:55.000 I have no idea if you even know what stickball is.

00:07:57.000 No, come on, you're not that old.

00:07:59.000 Oh, stickball?

00:08:00.000 Oh yeah, stickball.

00:08:01.000 They called it baseball.

00:08:03.000 No?

00:08:03.000 Sorry?

00:08:04.000 They didn't call it baseball?

00:08:05.000 Of course it was baseball, but it was called stickball because you played with a stick.

00:08:09.000 We didn't have a bat in the street, and it was a rubber ball.

00:08:12.000 What neighborhood in Brooklyn?

00:08:13.000 Flatbush.

00:08:15.000 Anyway, where the Brooklyn Dodgers were.

00:08:16.000 So anyway, this is what would happen. 0.94

00:08:19.000 Some kid would start screaming at another kid, and the other kid would go, oh shut up!

00:08:23.000 And then that kid would say, I could say whatever I want, this is America. 0.96

00:08:28.000 That was a common Rebuttal to anybody who said shut up.

00:08:34.000 We said that when we were kids.

00:08:35.000 Okay, so great.

00:08:36.000 Even better.

00:08:37.000 So that's even better.

00:08:38.000 All right.

00:08:39.000 That is no longer said by kids.

00:08:42.000 You could say whatever you want.

00:08:43.000 This is America.

00:08:44.000 Has been shattered by the left.

00:08:46.000 And I just want to make something clear because I'll use the term left a fair number of times.

00:08:51.000 I don't believe that left and liberal are the same.

00:08:53.000 I have 32 differences in one column.

00:08:57.000 Differences between left and liberal.

00:08:58.000 People could easily look it up.

00:09:00.000 Dennis Prager, Differences Between Left and Liberal.

00:09:02.000 I did a PragerU video on it in five minutes.

00:09:05.000 I'll just give you one example.

00:09:07.000 Liberals believe in racial integration and leftists believe in racial segregation.

00:09:12.000 Agreed.

00:09:12.000 Okay?

00:09:13.000 There's an all-black dorm at Columbia where I went.

00:09:16.000 There's an all-black graduation at Columbia where I went.

00:09:20.000 There are only two groups who support all-black dorms.

00:09:24.000 Uh leftists and the ku klux klan just for the record.

00:09:27.000 It's really important that people understand liberals don't support it and conservatives don't support it so, uh, The the ascendance of the left is the descent of of all these freedoms and that that is the root of it if they allowed us to be heard We would not be confronting the possibility of civil war.

00:09:48.000 We would change so many minds, but they make it almost impossible for us to be heard.

00:09:55.000 And that is the great battle.

00:09:59.000 That is why what Google, YouTube, Twitter, etc., what they have done is so injurious to the society.

00:10:08.000 It's a revolution.

00:10:10.000 Their goal, as it was explained to me, is minimize the right just enough not to cause a splash, but to make them ineffective in politics.

00:10:18.000 So you censor enough people so that the conversation will be 60% left and 40% right, and then what happens is you give it time, and over time the right loses the argument because they've got no foot in the battlefield.

00:10:32.000 And I'll give you another interesting thing that people don't reflect on.

00:10:36.000 We ache to have them on our shows.

00:10:39.000 We ache to debate them.

00:10:41.000 But they won't debate us, and they won't come on our shows, and they won't have us on their shows.

00:10:47.000 I have offered tens of thousands of dollars to any left-wing columnist on the New York Times to debate me anywhere they want.

00:10:56.000 They could choose the moderator.

00:10:57.000 They could choose the audience.

00:10:59.000 And serious money And that's 99% of the New York Times columnists are leftists.

00:11:06.000 Maybe there are three that are non-left.

00:11:09.000 But they would never do it.

00:11:10.000 I ache to debate them.

00:11:14.000 I would raise $100,000 probably, I could probably raise that, to have Ta-Nehisi Coates or Ibram X. Kendi debate Larry Elder.

00:11:23.000 Okay, it would end the career of Ta-Nehisi Coates or Ibram X. They would be regarded as the moral and intellectual frauds that they are.

00:11:32.000 Larry would wipe the floor with them. 0.99

00:11:35.000 I could give you five black intellectuals who would wipe the floor with them. 1.00

00:11:40.000 The key to their success is not enabling us to have an audience. 0.95

00:11:46.000 But you see, it seems that they target what we would refer to as NPCs.

00:11:50.000 Are you familiar with the term?

00:11:51.000 No.

00:11:52.000 Non-player characters.

00:11:53.000 People who don't take an active role and don't care, and just say, tell me what to believe and tell me how to fit in.

00:11:59.000 So, you take a look at... I'll give you the example I love to give.

00:12:04.000 We can start with the Trayvon Martin story, which was not true.

00:12:06.000 Hands up, don't shoot, that was not true.

00:12:08.000 Ahmaud Arbery story, that was not true.

00:12:10.000 Russiagate, Ukrainegate, Jussie Smollett, Covington.

00:12:13.000 That the president said they were good Nazis?

00:12:15.000 That they were fine Nazis? 0.94

00:12:16.000 The launching of Joe Biden's campaign, not true.

00:12:19.000 And so when they come out and they say, we're the good guys, trust us, don't listen to them.

00:12:23.000 And we come out and we say, please listen to everything they have to say and then have a conversation with us.

00:12:28.000 The people who are interested in saying, I want to know for myself, they'll come and take a look and watch the video and say, oh, OK, Dennis is clearly right on those issues.

00:12:36.000 The people who don't want to do that say, look, man, I just want to fit in.

00:12:39.000 I'm going to do whatever they tell me.

00:12:40.000 I think what we're seeing now is largely the separation is I described this four years ago.

00:12:46.000 I called it the uninitiated and the politically discerning people who will look at a story and say, is that true?

00:12:52.000 Let me check.

00:12:53.000 And the people who say, I don't know, it's probably true. 0.99

00:12:54.000 Media said it.

00:12:56.000 Those people just blindly follow the narrative of the establishment media.

00:13:00.000 They believe fake news every single time.

00:13:03.000 I should say, the overwhelming majority of them just believe whatever the TV says, even though it's proven wrong over and over again.

00:13:08.000 And then you have the other side, which includes traditional liberals, libertarians, moderates, conservatives.

00:13:13.000 Those are all right-wing.

00:13:16.000 I facetiously say, what makes you right-wing is knowing facts.

00:13:21.000 Reality has a conservative bias.

00:13:23.000 Stephen Colbert, he said that line, I'm sure you're familiar with, reality is a liberal bias, you know, 20 or so years ago.

00:13:28.000 But now the issue is, if someone comes out and says, oh, did you know that Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma and was receiving $83,000 a month and that Joe Biden intervened with the quid pro quo?

00:13:38.000 To withhold U.S.

00:13:39.000 guaranteed aid to the government unless the government did him a favor to stop and to fire this prosecutor.

00:13:43.000 Just so happened the prosecutor was investigating the company where his son worked.

00:13:47.000 If you say that, you're right-wing regardless of your politics.

00:13:50.000 So if you know the facts, you're right-wing.

00:13:53.000 A guy came over to me at an airport right before the lockdowns.

00:13:57.000 By the way, I hope you'll all adopt this.

00:14:00.000 I never say before COVID.

00:14:01.000 I say before lockdowns.

00:14:04.000 COVID is not the issue.

00:14:05.000 It was the reaction.

00:14:06.000 The destruction was the lockdowns.

00:14:09.000 Anyway, so about a few months before the lockdowns at Philadelphia airport, I recall well, a guy comes over to me and Thank God people come over to me at every airport except Boston.

00:14:21.000 Interestingly, I don't have any fans in Boston.

00:14:25.000 But anyway, guy comes over to me, and I'm a heterosexual guy, so it's not often that I think, well, this guy's really good looking.

00:14:33.000 This guy was really good looking.

00:14:34.000 I'm 6'4", not as good looking as this guy.

00:14:37.000 This guy was 6'4".

00:14:39.000 Comes over with a minimal accent, minimal.

00:14:42.000 And tells me, oh, I really love your work.

00:14:45.000 And I go, where are you from?

00:14:46.000 He goes, Norway.

00:14:46.000 I said, oh, you watch PragerU in Norway?

00:14:48.000 Oh yeah, all the time.

00:14:50.000 I go, really?

00:14:52.000 You're a Norwegian conservative?

00:14:54.000 And he said to me, this was priceless, apropos of what you just said, and he said, I don't know if I'm conservative.

00:15:03.000 I just follow logic.

00:15:06.000 And I said, then you're conservative.

00:15:08.000 That's how it goes these days.

00:15:09.000 That is how it goes.

00:15:10.000 Let me give a, to reiterate my point.

00:15:15.000 Here's a guy who just sees you tell the fact and says, interesting.

00:15:19.000 And you would be in the United States.

00:15:21.000 That's conservative.

00:15:23.000 That's right.

00:15:24.000 Yeah, that's exactly it.

00:15:26.000 I would like to know what position I hold that is not directed by morality and logic.

00:15:32.000 I'd like to know one position that I hold, and I would probably drop it.

00:15:37.000 If logic and morality do not dictate that position, I hereby announce I will drop it.

00:15:42.000 I'll tell you, we had a fun time.

00:15:43.000 We had a progressive on the show a couple weeks ago, and it was Seamus Coghlan of Freedom Tunes, who is a Catholic conservative, pro-life.

00:15:52.000 There's me, which, I guess, disaffected liberal, post-liberal, whatever they call it, and moderately pro-choice.

00:15:59.000 And then this progressive, who was pro-abortion up to the point of birth, or maybe beyond, And it was funny because Seamus backed off.

00:16:05.000 He was just like, he let me, you know, and this guy have this discussion.

00:16:09.000 And then eventually I said to him, I was like, this is the crazy thing.

00:16:12.000 You know, I asked him, do you believe abortion should be the woman's choice up to the point of birth or should be allowed, legal?

00:16:18.000 And he said, woman's choice.

00:16:20.000 And I was like, the woman is about to give birth to a baby at nine months gestation, and the baby can be terminated, killed, ripped out, and he goes, woman's choice.

00:16:28.000 And I'm like, okay, well, I come from a traditional liberal background, where we're like, you know, maybe after the fetus is viable, you just save it.

00:16:34.000 You don't have to kill it, right?

00:16:36.000 And then I was like, but isn't it strange that I am a pro-choice liberal, and you're calling me right-wing, and you're arguing for abortion to the point of birth?

00:16:44.000 How is that the liberal position?

00:16:46.000 How is that we're having this argument, and the actual conservative over here is keeping his mouth shut?

00:16:49.000 It's just the whole, as you mentioned, with the left and liberal being different.

00:16:52.000 Yeah, you've got to be careful with labels.

00:16:54.000 Relying too much on labels and what they mean to you, because they might mean something different to someone else, but it's the facts and beliefs that are really important.

00:17:00.000 Well, that's why it's important to define, as I did.

00:17:04.000 As I said, I have an article with 32 distinctions.

00:17:07.000 And the race one is one of the biggest. 0.98

00:17:10.000 We believe in integration.

00:17:13.000 We do believe liberals I was raised i'm a jew from new york by definition a liberal and I was raised That race blind is the moral ideal You don't see a person's race.

00:17:28.000 You see their character.

00:17:29.000 You see their personality.

00:17:30.000 You see their brains you see everything and and so I Today, race is determinative, which is mind-boggling because I ask leftists one question.

00:17:44.000 If you know a person is black, tell me one other thing you know about them and they can't name a thing. 1.00

00:17:52.000 Do you know whether they're kind or despicable? 0.94

00:17:54.000 Do you know whether they're honest or crooked?

00:17:56.000 Do you know whether they are interesting or boring?

00:17:59.000 Do you know whether they are liberal or conservative?

00:18:03.000 You know nothing when you know someone's skin color.

00:18:07.000 You can tell more about a person by their shoes than you can by their race.

00:18:10.000 That's perfectly said.

00:18:12.000 Yeah.

00:18:13.000 Let me do this.

00:18:14.000 We'll give a shout out to this famous video that I've been dying to talk to you about.

00:18:19.000 Bill Maher.

00:18:20.000 You were on Real Time with Bill Maher.

00:18:22.000 What was this, like 2017 or 2018?

00:18:24.000 No, no, no.

00:18:25.000 It was actually 2019.

00:18:25.000 2019, wow.

00:18:27.000 Which is even more remarkable how recent.

00:18:30.000 So you were on with Bill Maher and you mentioned that there are tampons in the men's restrooms at universities and Bill, the panel and the audience... That's why I said men menstruate is a left-wing lie. 0.90

00:18:43.000 Right.

00:18:43.000 Okay.

00:18:44.000 And then they all started laughing and Bill Maher goes, what?

00:18:47.000 What are you talking about?

00:18:49.000 Says and you were like it's in the news look it up and they were like no and you were like they have

00:18:54.000 Tampons in the men's room and bill goes it's for their girlfriends 0.98

00:18:58.000 remarkable the arrogance and ignorance at the same time Instead of just being like I'm good. I got a call. Here's

00:19:06.000 what I'd say If you said something to me that I thought was wrong, I'd pull it up.

00:19:11.000 And if we were on a show like that, I would be like, are you serious with this?

00:19:15.000 Is this true?

00:19:16.000 Can we get someone to check that?

00:19:17.000 And guess what they would have done?

00:19:18.000 They'd have come back and be like, he's right.

00:19:20.000 Right, correct.

00:19:22.000 Well, it was a great moment because the entire panel, Bill Maher and the entire audience laughed at me.

00:19:31.000 And just for the record, I actually enjoy that.

00:19:36.000 I'm not a masochist.

00:19:37.000 But when I know I'm right, and you have a whole bunch of people laughing at you, it is so revealing as to how easily people are brainwashed that that's the reason that I liked it.

00:19:53.000 That audience didn't hear it from the New York Times, so it didn't happen.

00:20:00.000 They, as I say on my radio show almost every day, they don't know, that is the left, they don't know what we know.

00:20:07.000 Well, so I pulled up the article, because we actually did a segment on it.

00:20:10.000 That's an old article!

00:20:11.000 This is an article from the Daily Beast, which is fake news by the way, NewsGuard says they're fake news, published September 21st, 2016, which is titled, Yes, Men Can Have Periods and We Need to Talk About Them.

00:20:21.000 So, 2016, you go on Bill Maher's show, three Years later.

00:20:27.000 Years! 1.00

00:20:28.000 So that's why I say, left and right in this country is, do you read the news or are you just an arrogant, ignorant person? 0.98

00:20:34.000 Also, it shows you, this is a very important lesson, the speed with which the left can have people say, wet is dry. 0.96

00:20:44.000 That was October or November of 2019.

00:20:50.000 And within a year and a half, if you said men do not menstruate, you were considered a hater.

00:20:58.000 That is how fast the left changes half this country's views on A equals B equals C. This is the issue I have with Bill Maher, right?

00:21:11.000 I do appreciate that he's called out woke nonsense, that he believes in free speech, but the man doesn't do research.

00:21:18.000 I don't know, is he retired?

00:21:20.000 I say retired in the sense that he's phoning it in.

00:21:25.000 He shows up, he says, give me the cue cards, he sits down and he says, what are you talking about?

00:21:28.000 I didn't read that.

00:21:29.000 And it's like, Bill, this story is three and a half years old.

00:21:32.000 If you don't know about this, that's your fault, not mine.

00:21:35.000 How could a guy have one of the, he has a million viewers per night when he does a show, per night, per show, which is weekly.

00:21:42.000 And this guy didn't bother to read the news three and a half years ago?

00:21:47.000 I mean, this story's been extremely prominent.

00:21:48.000 It's not this one article I've pulled up.

00:21:50.000 The issue surrounding this has been going on for quite some time.

00:21:54.000 The issue surrounding racial segregation has been happening over and over and over again.

00:21:57.000 You would have to actively ignore the news to not know these things.

00:22:02.000 Yeah, I just want to say that it's so rare to have a liberal call out the left that I want to salute him.

00:22:12.000 As you pointed out yourself, he does call out wokeness, but you would think he would have known it.

00:22:19.000 That is correct.

00:22:20.000 I think it's an example of kind of the old media model of like, let's have an interview and dam be the consequences versus the new model of let's have access to the internet and look it up and fact check in real time.

00:22:30.000 Like Rogan never would have had a hit show if he didn't have someone looking up the facts. 0.98

00:22:33.000 He would have just been wrong a bunch and looked like an idiot. 0.99

00:22:35.000 Well, I think the biggest thing is admitting that you're wrong. 0.99

00:22:38.000 And I think that's the biggest difference between individuals online.

00:22:41.000 And there are a lot of individuals, predominantly, who are promoted by big tech social media that never admit that they are wrong.

00:22:47.000 Bill Maher, just a couple weeks ago, was talking about how the economy's doing great.

00:22:51.000 We're in a recovery.

00:22:52.000 Everything's fine.

00:22:53.000 The right wingers are Or being sensationalistic when it comes to the dire economic numbers.

00:22:58.000 And here we are sitting with the calamity that we're facing that is absolutely unavoidable right now.

00:23:05.000 Is he going to talk about his mistakes?

00:23:07.000 Probably not.

00:23:08.000 And I'll give you my thoughts on this.

00:23:10.000 We mentioned this the other day.

00:23:11.000 We had Jamie Kilstein on.

00:23:12.000 He's a liberal comedian, I guess, but he was canceled and they came after him.

00:23:16.000 So he's like formerly woke.

00:23:18.000 And we were talking about the red flag laws.

00:23:20.000 and I said, red flag laws, it's stop and frisk on steroids. 1.00

00:23:25.000 So I'm at Occupy Wall Street, Jamie's at Occupy Wall Street, Luke's down there,

00:23:29.000 and across the spectrum, we're like, stop and frisk is a bad thing.

00:23:33.000 What they were doing, you're familiar with stop and frisk, right?

00:23:34.000 Of course.

00:23:35.000 So it turns out, according to a few whistleblowers, that the mayor actually ordered the police,

00:23:41.000 or I should say the police were ordered to speak.

00:23:42.000 specifically target racial minorities. And the justification was, well, that's the demographic 0.77

00:23:46.000 committing the crime. And the response on the left was like, if it's the neighborhood, perhaps,

00:23:52.000 but to come out blanket, just be like, no, it was the racial group. So we were like,

00:23:55.000 these Terry stops are a violation of your fourth of your Fourth Amendment rights. Regardless,

00:24:00.000 I'm not a fan. Red flag laws are the same thing, but now they can go into your house. 1.00

00:24:05.000 How is it that the left and liberals were like, stop and frisk is wrong and morally repugnant,

00:24:10.000 but red flag laws, it's even worse, but we should have that. 0.95

00:24:14.000 There's no logical consistency to what they're arguing for. So, you know, we're talking with Jamie

00:24:19.000 and his, his attitude is like, I didn't think about it that way, but you're right. Stop and frisk

00:24:24.000 was a bad thing. Why would the left be championing for something worse than it, which is the same

00:24:27.000 thing. The left doesn't think.

00:24:31.000 link.

00:24:33.000 about right and wrong.

00:24:37.000 Morality separates.

00:24:39.000 This is my field, as it were.

00:24:42.000 The moral outlook on life is what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is bad.

00:24:49.000 The left, since Lenin, really since Marx, never asked that.

00:24:54.000 It doesn't divide the world between good and bad.

00:24:57.000 It divides the world between rich and poor, black and white, strong and weak, male and female, imperialist versus victim. 0.64

00:25:07.000 When was that?

00:25:08.000 those are its divisions not good and bad. I knew I learned this at Columbia when I

00:25:15.000 was told by every single professor I had it is not possible to be a black racist.

00:25:21.000 It is not possible. When was that? Oh this 1970s. Wow. So a lot of this stuff is not

00:25:30.000 It's worse than ever.

00:25:31.000 It's more absurd than ever, but it's not new.

00:25:34.000 That is a very important statement. 0.98

00:25:36.000 A black cannot be a racist.

00:25:37.000 It means moral criteria do not apply where there's a racial criterion. 0.95

00:25:44.000 Race trumps morality. 1.00

00:25:46.000 Economics trump morality.

00:25:48.000 Power trumps morality.

00:25:50.000 Morality is not a left-wing consideration.

00:25:54.000 And those of us who think In normal terms, wait, there's right and wrong. 0.96

00:25:59.000 A black could be a racist, a white could be a racist. 0.94

00:26:01.000 A black could be beautiful, a white could be beautiful. 0.99

00:26:03.000 No, that is non-left thinking.

00:26:06.000 Right.

00:26:06.000 I don't know if you, some people say left, some people say people who are indoctrinated and don't critically think.

00:26:12.000 There was an incredible video that was highlighted that I played on one of my members' areas Today, specifically highlighting a young man at an abortion rally, specifically women who are arguing for abortion, for women's reproductive rights.

00:26:26.000 And he asked them, my body, my choice?

00:26:28.000 All of them said, absolutely, 100%.

00:26:29.000 And then he asked them, where did you stand on the mandates just a few months ago?

00:26:33.000 And all of them, the vaccine mandates specifically, and all of them had this moment of, but, That's different.

00:26:42.000 That's what they said.

00:26:43.000 Yeah, that's different.

00:26:45.000 One woman, the last one was funny, she goes, I'm not talking about that.

00:26:48.000 Exactly.

00:26:49.000 But the principles, the morals there, you know, they're inconsistent.

00:26:53.000 They're absolutely illogical.

00:26:54.000 People are not critically thinking.

00:26:56.000 They're being swayed by emotional mind control that's telling them what they should be believing and pushing for.

00:27:01.000 Fitting in.

00:27:02.000 Tribe, cult, mentality.

00:27:04.000 Most of these default liberal types just want to fit in.

00:27:07.000 So whatever the machine tells them, they say, OK.

00:27:09.000 Then you have the left, which has seized the reins of the machine, and they're just throwing out edict.

00:27:13.000 So is communism the easiest thing to fit into, like, politically, geopolitically?

00:27:17.000 As opposed to, like, because it's not easy to be an American that's constantly freaking out about freedom and, like, always... So here's a very big deal that I realized early in my life.

00:27:32.000 Liberty is not a human yearning.

00:27:35.000 It is not a human instinct.

00:27:37.000 It is a value that has to be learned and taught.

00:27:42.000 The human instinct is to be taken care of.

00:27:48.000 Most human beings would prefer to be taken care of than to be free.

00:27:57.000 That's the way it is and that is the reason the left wins almost everywhere in the world.

00:28:02.000 How many America Liberty countries are there in the Western Hemisphere outside of the United States?

00:28:08.000 Canada used to be one, not any longer.

00:28:11.000 And that's what humans, humans make the deal.

00:28:15.000 I'll give you my freedom, you give me free healthcare.

00:28:18.000 I'll give you my freedom, you give me free education.

00:28:21.000 Give me free, give me free, give me free, you can have my freedom.

00:28:24.000 But, you know, if you really look at it from an evolutionary, psychological perspective, it makes sense.

00:28:31.000 That's right.

00:28:31.000 That's the reason you need a higher principle than evolution to guide your life by, which is why, ultimately, I do believe this is a religious battle.

00:28:41.000 Let's talk about that, too, because one of my views... There's a lot of people who've described what the difference between the left and the right is.

00:28:48.000 Some have said it's nationalist versus a globalist.

00:28:51.000 I don't think that's correct.

00:28:52.000 It's a component.

00:28:53.000 Some have said it's authoritarian versus libertarian.

00:28:56.000 It's a component.

00:28:57.000 Some have said... Interestingly, we had Stephen Marsh on the show.

00:29:00.000 He wrote the book The Next Civil War.

00:29:02.000 And he said it's... In the United States, there is a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic.

00:29:07.000 Both can't coexist in the same country, and I'm like, that's an interesting way to put it, actually.

00:29:11.000 But maybe just one component.

00:29:12.000 I believe, and I mentioned a moment ago, that it's the politically discerning, those who would challenge the news and try and make sure they're correct, versus those who want to follow and fit in.

00:29:21.000 I think one large component is the Christian moral framework versus an absent moral framework.

00:29:28.000 And what I mean by that is, to go back to Bill Maher, the way I've described it in the past, Bill Maher is an atheist.

00:29:34.000 He made the documentary Religulous, where he challenges, you know, he asks people, he travels around trying to understand.

00:29:39.000 Bill Maher will say he doesn't believe in God and his morality doesn't come from that, but his morality literally is based in the Bible.

00:29:45.000 Not completely, not all of it, I'm not saying that, and I'm not saying you need to be religious, because I'm not practicing religious in any way, any religion.

00:29:51.000 What I mean is, why do we have the value of innocent until proven guilty?

00:29:56.000 Because we were raised by a culture that valued that.

00:29:59.000 If you were raised in a different culture on the other side of the planet, they would not have the same value.

00:30:03.000 In fact, there have been many countries that have said the inverse.

00:30:06.000 It is better that 10 innocent people suffer than one guilty person escape.

00:30:10.000 We in the United States hold an inverted view of that.

00:30:12.000 Benjamin Franklin said, it is better that 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer.

00:30:17.000 It was a planned Blackstone's formulation, which is 10 people.

00:30:21.000 Blackstone's formulation, it is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent sufferer, is rooted in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.

00:30:27.000 Literally in the Bible.

00:30:28.000 When God says to Lot, if there's but one righteous person, I will not destroy him.

00:30:31.000 To Abraham.

00:30:32.000 To Abraham, there you go.

00:30:33.000 So you know more than I do about that stuff.

00:30:35.000 But I read about this because I wanted to understand, why do we have these values in this country?

00:30:40.000 And so I read about the Fourth and Fifth Amendment.

00:30:42.000 I read about the presumption of innocence.

00:30:45.000 I read some of the writings from the Founding Fathers and their views on it.

00:30:47.000 Benjamin Franklin.

00:30:48.000 I read the praise for Blackstone's formulation.

00:30:51.000 And then I discovered his formulation was rooted in the Bible.

00:30:54.000 And I said, that's fascinating.

00:30:55.000 These stories from religion were carried on and left within us by the previous generation.

00:31:01.000 Now people like Bill Maher say they don't believe in any of that stuff, not realizing he would have never known of that concept were it not passed down to him.

00:31:09.000 When you look at other countries, other cultures on the other side of the planet that did not have the same religious values, they don't have this.

00:31:16.000 If you look at what's going on with Communist China and other countries, they have a presumption of guilt.

00:31:21.000 You get locked up and then we'll figure it out.

00:31:23.000 So in this country, it seems like there came a point where we still are mostly Christian, but many people aren't really practicing and don't really know what it means.

00:31:32.000 You get a generation of people who say they're atheists, but still hold a lot of that Christian moral framework, and now we're entering a period where you have a generation with no moral framework at all.

00:31:43.000 And if there's no moral framework, then there is no truth but power, which is what we're starting to see.

00:31:48.000 Lie, cheat, and steal.

00:31:49.000 Say whatever you want.

00:31:50.000 Get political power.

00:31:51.000 That's the path.

00:31:52.000 And that's what I see with the mainstream left, the modern left today.

00:31:56.000 Every word you said is correct.

00:31:59.000 My first book I wrote when I was 25.

00:32:01.000 It's still the most widely read introduction to Judaism in English.

00:32:06.000 And in it I wrote about something I had read called Cut Flower Ethics.

00:32:12.000 If you cut flowers from the soil that nurtured them, you could look at the flower and for a couple of days it looks like it doesn't need the soil that nurtured it.

00:32:22.000 But it will wither and die.

00:32:24.000 The same with ethics in the Western world.

00:32:26.000 They were nurtured in religious Judeo-Christian soil.

00:32:29.000 You rip those ethics from that soil, they will last for a generation or two, just like the flower will for a day or two. 0.52

00:32:36.000 And then they will wither and die.

00:32:38.000 And that is exactly what we are seeing happening now.

00:32:41.000 And that is why the founders of the country wrote that we have inalienable rights from the Creator.

00:32:46.000 There are no inalienable rights from human beings.

00:32:49.000 There are only inalienable rights if there is something that transcends the human and that is the Creator.

00:32:55.000 The most hated video I ever made.

00:32:58.000 I know it because I actually look at comments.

00:33:00.000 I'm fascinated by comments.

00:33:02.000 And the most hated, and I have hundreds and hundreds out there, including 50 at PragerU, where we have over 500.

00:33:10.000 I do 1 out of 10.

00:33:11.000 The most hated video I ever made was, I don't remember the exact title, but essentially, if God did not say murder is wrong, is murder wrong?

00:33:21.000 And it drives people crazy, even though the logic... I debated this at Oxford many years ago against the professor of moral philosophy at Oxford, and he's an atheist, and he said, of course, Prager is right. 0.98

00:33:33.000 If there is no God, there is no objective morality, only subjective.

00:33:38.000 You can say, I believe murder is wrong, I think murder is wrong, I feel murder is wrong, but you can't say murder is wrong.

00:33:46.000 Only if there is something that transcends the human that says murder is wrong is murder wrong.

00:33:51.000 But how do you explain that to someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to understand it?

00:33:57.000 You mean a college graduate?

00:33:59.000 Is that it?

00:34:00.000 That is the definition of not having the mental capacity.

00:34:03.000 I'm not being cute. 1.00

00:34:05.000 I have said for years, and I do believe this sincerely, for most people, not all, college makes you stupid. 1.00

00:34:12.000 Oh, I agree. 1.00

00:34:13.000 I'm a high school dropout.

00:34:14.000 And the funny thing is... You are?

00:34:16.000 Yes.

00:34:17.000 You made my day.

00:34:19.000 I'm not joking.

00:34:20.000 Well, so, the left, they believe in credentialism. 1.00

00:34:24.000 And so they'll often say, don't listen to Tim Poole, he's a high school dropout, that means he's dumb. 0.99

00:34:28.000 And my attitude is like, my arguments are what proves I'm dumb. 0.99

00:34:31.000 Like, if you think my arguments are bad, and they are bad, then I'm dumb. 0.98

00:34:35.000 But if you don't have an argument against what I've said, or you don't understand the concepts behind them because you lack the mental capacity, I don't think the issue is credentials or school.

00:34:43.000 I think, in my experience, you can argue that many high school dropouts tend not to succeed, but there are a lot of people who realize This system isn't working properly.

00:34:52.000 And in my case, I was building computers, programming video games, I was playing music, and I just thought, this does not serve me in any way other than to drag me down.

00:35:00.000 And so I just, you know, took issue with it.

00:35:04.000 Sorry, I just call them indoctrination centers.

00:35:06.000 That's exactly what they are.

00:35:08.000 And I would just kind of want to point out also, there's a lot of statistics when it comes to people who believe in a religion, people who have families.

00:35:14.000 And correlation with not just overall happiness, but success in life, that I think are absolutely worth talking about here as well, that provide a lot of different perspective when it comes to, you know, a lot of people coming up in this world.

00:35:26.000 I want to mention, when you say cut flower, is that what you called it?

00:35:29.000 Yeah.

00:35:29.000 Cut flower ethics?

00:35:30.000 Yeah.

00:35:30.000 That's brilliant.

00:35:31.000 It perfectly describes it.

00:35:32.000 Perfectly.

00:35:33.000 That's Bill Maher to the T, the way I see him.

00:35:36.000 That's right.

00:35:37.000 He doesn't understand that his values actually change.

00:35:39.000 He's living on borrowed soil.

00:35:42.000 And the woke is a direct result of his advocacy of rejecting this moral framework.

00:35:48.000 Again, I'm not saying that people need to believe in God, but I think you need to understand your roots and where your values come from.

00:35:55.000 By the way, forgive me, I just want to say, to the chagrin of many religious people, I almost only argue for the necessity of God rather than the existence of God.

00:36:08.000 Because if I prove to you, or not, you can't prove it, but if I convince you God exists, I have done nothing. 0.99

00:36:15.000 Because the number of people who believe in God who are moral idiots is very large. 0.98

00:36:20.000 However, if I convince you that God is morally necessary, Well, this is what's fascinating. 0.99

00:36:27.000 in life the greatest urge human has even more so than sex, then I have changed your life.

00:36:34.000 Well, this is what's fascinating.

00:36:37.000 And as I've looked at the ethos and the tenets of the modern left, there seems to be no moral

00:36:41.000 framework at all.

00:36:43.000 And they say there is one, but I'll give the example of Stoppin, Friskin, Red Flag laws. 0.75

00:36:47.000 Stop-and-frisk.

00:36:48.000 New York said we want to stop guns on the street and contraband.

00:36:51.000 Therefore, the police now have the right to randomly stop anyone and frisk them.

00:36:57.000 It resulted in marginalized people, as the left said, and it literally did, disproportionately targeted young black men and Latinos.

00:37:04.000 The argument from Bloomberg was, they're the ones committing the crime, so that's what you're gonna see.

00:37:09.000 Now, The whistleblowing was that they actually were instructed to target racial minorities, so they kind of leapfrogged the issue of here's where the crime is to just target the racial group, and that had a negative consequence.

00:37:20.000 If that issue was bad, red flag laws, exact same logic.

00:37:24.000 We got to get guns off the street and stop dangerous people from having them.

00:37:28.000 We can go into your home and take your guns if we have reason to believe that you're, you know, unwell or a threat or a danger.

00:37:35.000 If that happens in New York and it happens in a bunch of places, which I think it already has, you're going to start seeing the exact same thing they were already complaining about.

00:37:43.000 If they say one is good and one is bad, but they're functionally identical, or one is actually... Red flag laws are worse. 0.86

00:37:50.000 Much worse.

00:37:50.000 But they want them, and stop and frisk is not as bad, but it's apocalyptic.

00:37:56.000 There's no moral logic behind what they're arguing for.

00:37:59.000 In which case, I don't know the point.

00:38:02.000 If, you know, I think stop and frisk is wrong beyond.

00:38:04.000 There, okay, so to just reinforce your point, NPR during 2020 or 2021, I assume 2020, actually

00:38:14.000 devoted an hour to a woman who wrote a book in defense of looting.

00:38:21.000 I'm familiar.

00:38:22.000 Correct.

00:38:23.000 I gotta tell you, I was in Ferguson.

00:38:25.000 Do not steal does not apply if you are, as I said, they don't divide the world between right and wrong, but between black and white, rich and poor. 0.91

00:38:35.000 If a black person loots, it's okay! 1.00

00:38:38.000 Except in that community, because what really angered me about that, I'm fairly certain that article was about Ferguson. 0.97

00:38:45.000 And what happened was, I was in Ferguson, and I watched a group of young black men link arms to protect a store from looters.

00:38:53.000 And when they were asked by a journalist from Al Jazeera, why are you defending this store?

00:38:59.000 They said, we live here.

00:39:01.000 This is our community.

00:39:02.000 These are our stores.

00:39:03.000 The people who are looting don't live here, and they are robbing us.

00:39:06.000 They are stealing from us.

00:39:07.000 And in many instances, it's yuppies looting.

00:39:09.000 It's like the lawyers in New York City that just, by the way, had their charges dropped that firebombed a police car.

00:39:15.000 So I'm in Ferguson.

00:39:15.000 I didn't know that, really.

00:39:17.000 The people who were looting in Ferguson didn't live there.

00:39:20.000 Most of them.

00:39:21.000 And these poor people who lived in this area, desperately trying to protect their own stores from an outside force destroying it.

00:39:27.000 And then these leftists write articles defending those who actually attacked the black community.

00:39:33.000 That, to me, was one of the most despicable displays I have ever seen.

00:39:38.000 To see these young men say, we're trying to do right by our community.

00:39:41.000 And then they have them write, no, no, the looting is good.

00:39:44.000 Those young men were being robbed.

00:39:46.000 Their community was being destroyed.

00:39:48.000 They needed someone to come in and say, stop these violent rioters and looters from destroying these people's neighborhood.

00:39:54.000 Instead they said, well, it's actually a good thing because they're doing it as an act of rebellion against white supremacy.

00:39:59.000 It feels like moral relativism may be, I think, are you saying, you may be indicating that there's a moral absolute.

00:40:06.000 If there's no moral absolute, then murder isn't wrong.

00:40:10.000 I'm thinking about the Romans' Emperor Constantine.

00:40:13.000 He basically became the first Christian, which was rooted in Judaism, which is thou shall not kill.

00:40:17.000 But he went and killed eastward and conquered and murdered.

00:40:20.000 Right.

00:40:21.000 The fact that people don't live by their own values does not mean that the values are irrelevant.

00:40:27.000 You are right.

00:40:27.000 You could point to any number of religious people who have screwed up their own religion.

00:40:32.000 That is correct.

00:40:33.000 But you can't live without the principles.

00:40:36.000 In other words, a lot of Christians kept slaves. 0.88

00:40:40.000 And this is a Jew saying, it was Christians who abolished slavery. 0.83

00:40:43.000 Not Muslims. 1.00

00:40:44.000 Not Shintoists. 1.00

00:40:46.000 Not Confucianists. 0.98

00:40:47.000 Not Hindus. 1.00

00:40:48.000 And not atheists. 0.89

00:40:50.000 It was Christians who abolished slavery on planet Earth.

00:40:54.000 Is it the situation where the tenets of Judaism, the Ten Commandments, are good to follow unless fill in the blank?

00:41:05.000 You're really playing to my passion.

00:41:10.000 My life is devoted to having people live by the Ten Commandments.

00:41:14.000 I have a great new saying.

00:41:16.000 You want to defund the police?

00:41:18.000 Have everybody live by the Ten Commandments. 0.74

00:41:20.000 I want to give an example, if I may, because behind me, I'm told, is one of the volumes of my Bible commentary.

00:41:27.000 If every atheist listening read that, they would at least intellectually appreciate What those of us who believe the Bible is the greatest book ever written is about has nothing to do with faith nothing that's why I call it the rational Bible and I begin my my preface as follows when I was in my early 20s and late teens I had issues with my parents which is pretty common on earth and

00:41:51.000 However, I honored my parents.

00:41:54.000 I showed them respect all the time.

00:41:56.000 I never deviated from that.

00:41:58.000 And there was a reason, and it was the only reason.

00:42:01.000 I believed that God himself had commanded me to honor your father and mother.

00:42:07.000 I believed I would be sinning against God.

00:42:10.000 Forget my parents.

00:42:11.000 If I didn't show my parents honor even if I had a hard time with them and i'm telling you This this is a classic example of what the left is doing to the society by getting rid of of the Of the of the ten commandments the divine origins of all this What we're seeing today is this is my my field of study communism and fascism for that matter nazism Every totalitarian movement begins by by subverting parental authority and that is what the left is doing in america You subverting parental authority you listen to the state Kids you listen to the leader kids.

00:42:51.000 You don't listen to your parents kids Oh, yeah, and also a lot of authority figures.

00:42:56.000 So when the Russians, the Soviets took over Poland, they got rid of a lot of doctors.

00:43:00.000 They got rid of a lot of teachers.

00:43:01.000 They got rid of a lot of lawyers.

00:43:02.000 They got rid of a lot of historians and just took them to Siberia or assassinated them because they were the ones that were the most influential in their society.

00:43:10.000 And they needed to get rid of that in order to push the communist doctrine.

00:43:13.000 And yet, you know, it's brutal here.

00:43:14.000 I want to address that.

00:43:15.000 There's a I grew up in a neighborhood of Chicago that had a lot of Polish people. 0.98

00:43:19.000 There's a lot of Polish jokes, stereotypes about people being dumb. 0.96

00:43:22.000 Talking to Luke, it's a particularly brutal origin. 0.98

00:43:25.000 The reason that stereotype exists is because Soviets killed all the intellectuals. 0.83

00:43:29.000 Right.

00:43:30.000 By the way, somewhat of a farce, I remember when Polish jokes were in, so I have two comments on that. 0.81

00:43:35.000 First, I studied in England my junior year in college.

00:43:39.000 Every single Polish joke I heard in America was an English joke about the Irish, who were not known to any of us as students.

00:43:45.000 Thank you so much!

00:43:47.000 I wish Seamus was here.

00:43:48.000 And there's another one!

00:43:50.000 At the very time people were telling the most Polish jokes, the brilliant Pope was Polish. 0.98

00:43:56.000 Pope John XXIII.

00:43:58.000 Or is it John Paul II?

00:43:59.000 John Paul II.

00:44:01.000 One of the most brilliant men of that generation.

00:44:05.000 And Lech Walesa was Polish.

00:44:08.000 And Carter's head of security was Bigniew Brzezinski, Polish.

00:44:13.000 Who was the guy I studied under at Columbia, ironically.

00:44:16.000 But I don't understand why Polish jokes ever developed.

00:44:20.000 It was against just demeaning the people, and actually Polish people actually have some of the highest IQ in the region.

00:44:27.000 Speaking of Brzezinski, the National Security Advisor, I actually had some very interesting conversations with him on my own personal channel, but there's a lot we could get into, especially culturally, especially with Poland.

00:44:35.000 But I also have another question to ask about the larger religious aspect.

00:44:39.000 Just kind of debate this, because the left usually also has a counter argument to what we're talking about now.

00:44:44.000 And their arguments, I don't know how you would address this, but they usually say religion isn't good. It created 1.00

00:44:50.000 war, it created suffering, it created the Crusades, and historically, they would argue that it was a net negative.

00:44:55.000 How do you respond to some of their arguments?

00:44:58.000 Yes, so this shows you how bad our education is in America.

00:45:02.000 The bloodiest century on record is the 20th century. 0.93

00:45:07.000 And that is because 100 million people, non-combatants, were murdered.

00:45:14.000 Non-combatants.

00:45:15.000 Forget war.

00:45:17.000 99% of them except for the case of the of the of the Turks killing Armenians 99% of that hundred million were killed by secular regimes They never tell you that they tell all the evil committed by religious groups First of all, everybody was religious in the Middle Ages, so it's a pointless point.

00:45:38.000 All the good done was also done by religious groups.

00:45:41.000 All the bad, all you had were religious groups. 1.00

00:45:43.000 But where you had religious and secular, there is no comparison.

00:45:47.000 The death of God is the death of man.

00:45:50.000 Sorry, that's why I say I'm interested in arguing for God's existence, but I am passionate about the importance of talking about God's necessity.

00:46:01.000 Yeah, I think a lot of the issue they're having is that the, I think the commandments, some of them are plaintive, like don't kill people.

00:46:07.000 Don't murder.

00:46:08.000 Don't do your buddy's wife. 1.00

00:46:09.000 Like, got it.

00:46:10.000 Okay.

00:46:10.000 Yeah.

00:46:10.000 Let's live peacefully.

00:46:11.000 But they don't like the authority.

00:46:13.000 They're radical.

00:46:14.000 It's the authority of religion.

00:46:16.000 That's right.

00:46:16.000 Organize religion.

00:46:17.000 I am my authority.

00:46:19.000 That's correct.

00:46:19.000 And if I don't want to treat my parents right, who the F is God to tell me I have to?

00:46:24.000 And then the state will slide in and co-opt that.

00:46:27.000 And the corporations.

00:46:28.000 Unfocused guide.

00:46:30.000 Need for authority, because we live with this libertarian authority bent that's constantly wavering, but we need it.

00:46:35.000 We have parents.

00:46:36.000 We can't get by without some authority in the early days, or probably the whole time.

00:46:41.000 I think one of the challenges is that I don't know if you have to believe... I don't think you have to believe in God.

00:46:47.000 I think you need to understand the philosophy and the philosophy behind the religions, understand the history of humanity, how we came to the point, what religion provided, and then you can be someone who is a secular atheist and say, I understand, like I mentioned with the innocent until proven guilty, why it's valuable, how it helps civilization, how it's rooted in religion.

00:47:07.000 If a secular atheist says, look, I personally, I just find it very hard to believe in God for X, Y, Z reasons, however, If mankind gives that up, if the Bible is not the reference point, we're screwed.

00:47:22.000 I have no issue with that.

00:47:23.000 But they replaced that with Star Wars.

00:47:25.000 If you see a lot of young men, they have replaced cartoons, fictional characters, entertainment, movie, Hollywood psyops, as I call them, with this worshipping idea of these fake characters, these fake idols, and they make their whole lives surrounded with their personalities around these fake figures.

00:47:40.000 So there is some kind of merit to the argument that if they're not going to have a religious belief, they're going to have Of course.

00:47:48.000 All leftism is secularized religion.

00:47:51.000 All of it.

00:47:52.000 That is exactly what it is.

00:47:54.000 GK Chesterton has the best line of all late 19th century British brilliant mind.

00:48:01.000 He said, when people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing, they believe in anything.

00:48:06.000 That's true.

00:48:08.000 You're familiar with Peter Boghossian, I'd imagine?

00:48:09.000 Yep.

00:48:10.000 I had a great conversation with him several years ago about intersectionality as the new non-theistic religion.

00:48:16.000 And as we know where that evolved.

00:48:18.000 Today it's basically wokeism, leftism.

00:48:21.000 It is a group of people who have They have a non-theistic religion. 1.00

00:48:25.000 The way I view it, I once read this book on simulating elements.

00:48:30.000 It was a physics book.

00:48:31.000 It talked about how they used a circuit board, sending electrons down a path, and they created something that ultimately resulted in electrons simulating an orbit, but without a nucleus.

00:48:43.000 And they said it simulated the elemental properties of this similar atomic weight or whatever.

00:48:48.000 I don't know what this book was.

00:48:49.000 Maybe none of that's true.

00:48:50.000 But I was reading this book on physics.

00:48:51.000 I got it at a bookstore once.

00:48:53.000 And I thought about that.

00:48:54.000 And I'm like, I kind of feel that's what the left is in a similar sense.

00:48:57.000 It is all of the people orbiting around nothing.

00:49:00.000 It is similar to a religious belief where people have a core belief system based on something and they're orbiting around it.

00:49:09.000 And then you have the left, which has no core, no nucleus, and it's simulating some kind of religious system.

00:49:17.000 Look, the giveaway is men give birth. 0.96

00:49:22.000 That people now believe, not only believe it, but believe that if you deny it, You are anti-science, and you are a hater.

00:49:33.000 But I don't know if people actually believe that.

00:49:36.000 I understand there are people who espouse it.

00:49:38.000 But we mentioned this the other day, if you take a look at Joe Biden's Real Clear Politics approval rating, his aggregate, right now today it's 38.7.

00:49:47.000 It is very low, and you'd think that if two-thirds of the country outright was like, we do not like Joe Biden, Then mainstream comics would be like, well, that's the market, right?

00:49:58.000 More money is to be made advertising to the majority group.

00:50:01.000 So let's go with it. 1.00

00:50:02.000 Biden sucks. 1.00

00:50:03.000 Instead, they're still on board with Joe Biden. 1.00

00:50:06.000 Where are the regular people, if the polls are showing this, to come out and say, no, I don't like the guy.

00:50:12.000 They don't speak up.

00:50:13.000 People refuse to speak up.

00:50:15.000 So there are a lot of people who will be like, oh yeah, I agree with that.

00:50:18.000 And then in private be like, I really don't, but I'm terrified.

00:50:21.000 That's right.

00:50:22.000 And that's their secret weapon, or it's not so secret. 0.99

00:50:26.000 We'll destroy you if you oppose us. 0.91

00:50:28.000 We don't have that. 0.58

00:50:31.000 For years, on my radio show, I said to people, I can't stand Ben & Jerry. 1.00

00:50:36.000 I think they're moral idiots. 0.99

00:50:38.000 But I eat their ice cream because in America, you don't buy products based on whether or not you agree with the makers of the product. 1.00

00:50:45.000 Now you do.

00:50:46.000 Well, there's no choice.

00:50:49.000 But they started.

00:50:50.000 And who started matters.

00:50:52.000 They started destroying When Chick-fil-a's owner simply said, I'm a Christian and I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, the attempt to destroy Chick-fil-a, by the way, Chick-fil-a has done a 180 degree change as it happens, but that's a separate issue.

00:51:12.000 What do you mean the change?

00:51:13.000 The BLM support.

00:51:14.000 Yeah, sorry?

00:51:15.000 The support for BLM.

00:51:17.000 Yeah, Chick-fil-a's gone woke, basically.

00:51:21.000 Not as severely as perhaps Nike, but... I gotta open my own chicken sandwich shop now?

00:51:25.000 So I was talking about making a non-woke coffee shop.

00:51:29.000 And it's like, we make coffee, we don't talk politics.

00:51:31.000 End of story.

00:51:32.000 Now I gotta do a chicken shop as well?

00:51:33.000 Beef liver.

00:51:34.000 Beef liver shop.

00:51:34.000 It's gonna change everything.

00:51:36.000 Just trust me on this.

00:51:37.000 People are gonna understand.

00:51:39.000 Beef liver.

00:51:39.000 They're gonna understand it in the chatroom.

00:51:41.000 I got a question for you guys, and I don't want to change the topic, but I missed the last couple minutes, and if you're ready for a new topic.

00:51:46.000 I've been thinking about free will and determinism a lot lately.

00:51:48.000 Right.

00:51:49.000 Are you familiar with the concept?

00:51:50.000 Free will.

00:51:51.000 You have the ability to choose your surroundings.

00:51:52.000 I think you do, but it requires glucose.

00:51:55.000 It drains your energy system.

00:51:57.000 So we need food.

00:51:58.000 We can't do free will without food.

00:52:01.000 So we're determined.

00:52:02.000 We're bound.

00:52:03.000 So if we're bound and determined that we have to have food, what even idea of free will do we even think we have?

00:52:10.000 Is it even a real thing?

00:52:11.000 Well, I could answer that in a way that you may not have addressed If there is no God, there is no free will.

00:52:20.000 That's an irony.

00:52:21.000 If there is no God, we are just physical beings.

00:52:24.000 Therefore, everything we do is determined by the physical.

00:52:29.000 By neurons firing in our brain.

00:52:31.000 Period.

00:52:31.000 End of issue.

00:52:33.000 We are sophisticated robots if there is no God.

00:52:36.000 If there's a God, there is... I'll use me.

00:52:38.000 There's a Dennis that is not just physical.

00:52:41.000 There is a Dennis that actually controls my brain.

00:52:46.000 It's called the mind.

00:52:47.000 I have a soul.

00:52:48.000 I'm not just physical.

00:52:50.000 If there is no God, you are just a robot.

00:52:53.000 Let's go deep on this one.

00:52:55.000 We talked about the Google AI bot the other day.

00:52:57.000 Did you hear the story?

00:52:58.000 Google engineer said I was talking to a chatbot and I said, are you alive?

00:53:01.000 And he said, yes.

00:53:02.000 And he went, oh, and a lot of people make fun of this.

00:53:05.000 You know, Elon Musk was making fun of it because the way chatbots work, you know, they're not necessarily, not really AIs is that they read the internet and they determine what words come after other words probabilistically.

00:53:18.000 So if you say, hi, how are you?

00:53:23.000 The chatbot just looks at every conversation and reads the internet and says, 99.9% of the time, after someone says, hi, how are you, the response is fine.

00:53:32.000 99.9% of the time, the response, the word after fine is thank, followed by you.

00:53:37.000 It's pure probability.

00:53:39.000 If you don't believe that there is something beyond this existence, if there's something greater, and you are just a wet robot, as many people have, as I've been told, then I say all of your actions are simply dominoes falling over for which you have no control over.

00:53:52.000 You are a system of probabilities.

00:53:54.000 You have no free will.

00:53:55.000 If, as you described it, you are something else, a soul piloting your body, then you are directly influencing the system and moving the dominoes out of the way and rearranging them.

00:54:06.000 Another way to phrase it, other conversations that we like to go deep on is DMT trips, in which, talking with Michael Malice and Alex Jones have been absolutely fascinating on the subject, and there is an idea that, you're familiar with DMT I'd imagine?

00:54:20.000 No.

00:54:21.000 Dimethyltryptamine, I think that's right?

00:54:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:22.000 Ian?

00:54:23.000 So, Ian, please.

00:54:24.000 Absolutely.

00:54:24.000 When you take it, they call it blasting off.

00:54:27.000 And people say they experience this shared reality space, where I've talked to people, prominent individuals, I'll leave their names out of it, who say that these two personalities took DMT and then were tripping, but were in the same place, and they were able to communicate with each other and experience the same thing.

00:54:46.000 Many people have claimed this as well.

00:54:48.000 There's an idea that when you blast off, there are beings that effectively use our bodies as puppets or something to that effect that people have experienced.

00:54:58.000 And I find that fascinating because I'm like, it sounds like you're describing some kind of a soul or some kind of, you know, extension of us outside of our bodies and we are effectively being controlled by what that extension is.

00:55:09.000 When you take DMT, you blast off and then can see through the veil and see what's really going on.

00:55:14.000 The fascinating thing about this is that it's similarly described by people of religious backgrounds for generations, for millennia.

00:55:23.000 And then the best part about this, too, is to tie it back together with modern sensibilities.

00:55:28.000 You're familiar with simulism, I wonder?

00:55:31.000 If you explain it, I might be.

00:55:32.000 I know what simulate is.

00:55:33.000 Simulation theory?

00:55:34.000 Yeah.

00:55:35.000 That humans are actually in a simulation created by a more advanced species?

00:55:39.000 Oh, okay, yeah.

00:55:40.000 I absolutely love this concept because you have people like Elon Musk and these other tech bros who are like, If it is possible that we can create a simulation, then it is probable that a more advanced and powerful civilization created the universe that we are in.

00:55:57.000 And I'm like, that sounds like what I learned in first grade of religious school when I was going to Catholic school.

00:56:02.000 A being of greater power crafted the universe for which we exist in for some purpose.

00:56:08.000 Simulation theory is like level one of what religion has been talking about for thousands of years.

00:56:14.000 I think it's just described in a way that doesn't offend people's, you know, delicate modern sensibilities.

00:56:22.000 The ultimate Yeah.

00:56:26.000 is you're pointing out we're all pointing out really as much as people

00:56:30.000 are annoyed to acknowledge it is the God issue yeah people really don't want to

00:56:37.000 believe something is higher than they are and and they will do anything they

00:56:44.000 they will sooner believe that life on earth was created by extraterrestrials

00:56:50.000 then by a God I kind of want to push back a little bit.

00:56:55.000 I kind of disagree because people who aren't, you know, per se religious do have religious idols.

00:57:01.000 People like Dr. Fauci That was our point.

00:57:03.000 They have candles on them.

00:57:05.000 But there's no God higher than Fauci.

00:57:07.000 They sing songs about them.

00:57:09.000 They preach everything they say.

00:57:11.000 That was our point.

00:57:13.000 They're secular substitutes.

00:57:15.000 Douglas Murray, have you had him on?

00:57:17.000 No, I don't think so.

00:57:19.000 Let me do a shout-out for Douglas Murray.

00:57:23.000 Let me do a shout-out, by the way, for Julie Hartman. 0.90

00:57:26.000 She's 22.

00:57:27.000 Look her up on the internet, and I do a weekly podcast with her.

00:57:30.000 I've never done a podcast with any other person in 40 years.

00:57:33.000 She's 22, and I do it with her.

00:57:35.000 You will go nuts for her.

00:57:39.000 I hate to say this because it's so irrelevant, but some people might find it relevant.

00:57:43.000 She just graduated Harvard, and by the way, it's a very touching story.

00:57:47.000 At the graduation, 36,000 people are there, and the New Zealand Prime Minister, who's as woke as it gets on planet Earth, she's the one who I play on my radio show regularly saying, if you haven't heard it from the government, it isn't true.

00:58:05.000 There's no compunction about saying that.

00:58:08.000 Anyway, she spoke about how they have all these laws for unlimited abortion in New Zealand and 35,999 people stood up except for Julie.

00:58:21.000 Just for the record.

00:58:23.000 So, yeah.

00:58:24.000 I want to bring up this idea.

00:58:25.000 I was talking to someone who said they were atheist.

00:58:27.000 And I feel like, at the very least, atheism, I can't understand.

00:58:33.000 Right?

00:58:33.000 You know, I grew up Catholic briefly.

00:58:35.000 Then I had a period where I was like, I'm an atheist.

00:58:36.000 I don't believe any of that.

00:58:37.000 And then I realized, oh, actually, I can't assert that.

00:58:39.000 I don't have evidence to assert the lack of.

00:58:41.000 I can certainly be agnostic.

00:58:43.000 Now I, you know, I more believe in God.

00:58:45.000 I do believe in God.

00:58:47.000 But I was talking with someone and I said, you just mentioned there are people who can't imagine there's something higher than them, more powerful than them.

00:58:53.000 And to me, that's a logical impossibility that there isn't.

00:58:57.000 Very simply put, if you believe the universe is as vast and as explosive as it is, then you believe that humans are but simple wet robots that exist within it.

00:59:05.000 Certainly, there is a greater degree of sophistication in a wet robot than us.

00:59:10.000 Like, humans are not the end-all be-all of physical capability in terms of particles coming together and interacting with each other.

00:59:18.000 If humans exist, if the universe is as large as we think it is, certainly there is a higher power than us.

00:59:24.000 Well, I think the misnomer is that it's higher.

00:59:26.000 It's happening in synchronicity with us on another plane of perception.

00:59:31.000 So, like, as atoms, we're also atoms, we're also subatomic spinners.

00:59:35.000 We're also just a dot out in the galaxy if you're far enough away looking at us.

00:59:38.000 But if you go small enough and you start to see the vortex of the vacuum, and like, I'm studying these things called plasmin, things in the center of clouds of plasma, and when light refracts off of it, it seems to move with some sort of, if not intelligence, coherence, and I don't know why it's doing that.

00:59:58.000 Like, if the information is being given to plasma from light, and then it's transmitting into matter, I don't, I've never seen the evidence that it's intelligent.

01:00:07.000 A little too specific.

01:00:08.000 It's okay.

01:00:09.000 So you look at the cosmic microwave background radiation.

01:00:12.000 Are you familiar with it?

01:00:13.000 They located it with a radio telescope and it looks like it's arcing through planetoids and giving it life, maybe giving things life.

01:00:19.000 But then you look at plasma fields and you can see light.

01:00:24.000 Interacting with plasma.

01:00:27.000 What's your point, though?

01:00:28.000 I think that's pretty plaintively God.

01:00:30.000 I mean, it's like... Right, right, right.

01:00:32.000 There's a greater phenomenon that's affecting things.

01:00:35.000 Oh my gosh, yeah.

01:00:36.000 My view is... I'll put it this way.

01:00:39.000 Humans, uh, an ant.

01:00:41.000 Does an ant know what a highway is?

01:00:43.000 I saw this, I listened to a talk by some guy, I can't remember where this lecture was, he says, does an ant know what a superhighway is?

01:00:48.000 Of course not.

01:00:49.000 Even though it's built its anthill right next to it.

01:00:51.000 It's entirely possible that aliens have built a superhighway right above us, in outer space, and we can't perceive of it.

01:00:56.000 Or, even if we do, we don't understand what it is, so we just don't think about it.

01:01:00.000 That being said, I'm like... The idea is that humans and ants evolved or are on the same planet and have a lot of similarities in their DNA, but more importantly, a dog.

01:01:10.000 Humans and dogs are mammals.

01:01:12.000 Dogs can actually communicate with humans on a rudimentary level, and a dog doesn't know what a superhighway is, how it functions, or why it was put there.

01:01:18.000 It just knows it's there.

01:01:19.000 So it's fascinating that we can be so closely related to a chimpanzee, and the chimpanzee, with our DNA 99% similar, will not understand the concept of a car or a highway at all.

01:01:30.000 That is the reason it is so important.

01:01:33.000 Back to the most brilliant book ever written, the Bible.

01:01:37.000 We, and not animals, are created in God's image.

01:01:40.000 So even if we had 99.9% of the same DNA, that difference is all the difference you need.

01:01:47.000 It means we have moral free will.

01:01:49.000 It means we have the intelligence that we have.

01:01:52.000 It means we can create symphonies.

01:01:55.000 But I believe this shows that it just means there's a likelihood, a greater likelihood of beings well beyond us, beyond our comprehension or understanding.

01:02:04.000 If the universe is... I mean, I look at it this way.

01:02:08.000 If we only recently learned that the visible universe or perceivable reality is less than one millionth of reality, because, you know, the chart, the electromagnetic spectrum was discovered, what, like early 1900s, end of the 1800s or whatever.

01:02:23.000 We only just discovered that.

01:02:25.000 I can only imagine that there's probably a whole lot more.

01:02:29.000 Maybe, maybe millions of times more aspects of reality we have not yet discovered.

01:02:34.000 We cannot perceive directly the electromagnetic spectrum, but we can create tools that allow us to effectively see in the dark.

01:02:41.000 Are there tools we have not yet created that would allow us to see in another form of the dark we haven't yet discovered?

01:02:46.000 There could be, you know, to throw to Star Trek, subspace.

01:02:49.000 You know, some other element or aspect of the universe we can't perceive yet.

01:02:53.000 I believe that's extremely likely because I think humans aren't masters of the universe.

01:02:59.000 I suppose if you are one of these people who doesn't believe in a god or a higher power, it may be because you think humans are the highest power and you can't perceive of anything beyond them, like you were saying.

01:03:10.000 Well, I, to be honest, am not troubled by these issues.

01:03:14.000 I am troubled by how do we minimize murder, rape, torture?

01:03:20.000 I have a moral preoccupation with the universe.

01:03:23.000 How can people become better?

01:03:25.000 They've done a pretty rotten job in history.

01:03:27.000 I just debated somebody in LA two weeks ago who said, amazing to me, sad to me, it was a rabbi, who said, human beings are innately good.

01:03:38.000 An idea I consider to be as preposterous as men give birth and Those are the things that trouble me. 1.00

01:03:46.000 I can't know about extraterrestrials now So in the limited time I have on this on this the plane of this universe i'd like to minimize evil That's my preoccupation the left maximizes evil and and that's why I fight the left every day I can they what they have done as I said 99 Except for hitler which was which was let's say 10 10 I don't know, 10, 15 million, 6 million Jews, and millions of others.

01:04:15.000 But overwhelmingly, the genocides of the 20th century were all communist.

01:04:20.000 So that people don't fear the left shows, A, they are utterly ignorant of history, and B, that they are morally challenged almost beyond redemption.

01:04:33.000 I think, you know, if we cut it down to a rudimentary level, going back to what I was talking about with the politically discerning and the uninitiated, I asked you, how do you explain these concepts to people who don't have the mental capacity for it?

01:04:45.000 Got to make appeal to their emotions.

01:04:47.000 Well, then you end up with, I'll just say unnamed powerful elites who take the approach that the ends justify the means. 0.99

01:04:54.000 They use their wealth and power and their intelligence to manipulate stupid people into following them and doing what they want. 0.98

01:05:00.000 Then they accuse us of doing just that. 1.00

01:05:03.000 You know, I look at Brian Stelter.

01:05:06.000 He goes on CNN and says, don't watch Fox News.

01:05:08.000 Don't watch them.

01:05:09.000 Come to us.

01:05:10.000 You got, who was it?

01:05:11.000 Was it Jake Tapper who was like, you can't read the WikiLeaks emails?

01:05:14.000 Was that Tapper or was that Cuomo?

01:05:16.000 That was Tapper, right?

01:05:18.000 I have to double-check, I'm gonna double-check really quickly.

01:05:20.000 One of the guys at CNN said, you can't read the emails from me, he goes, we're journalists, we're allowed.

01:05:24.000 Anybody who tells you, do not seek out the information for yourself, in my opinion, like, probably lying to you.

01:05:31.000 I figured out, dude.

01:05:31.000 Yet, over here, on what they call the right, we're constantly like, please fact-check us, and look this up for yourself to make sure it's true and correct, because we're trying our best.

01:05:40.000 The way to get through to the people that aren't thinking critically is you gotta make God exciting.

01:05:48.000 What's more exciting than having meaning in life?

01:05:51.000 That's pretty exciting.

01:05:52.000 You know what's exciting?

01:05:54.000 To raise another subject, but one utterly related to the God issue and everything else.

01:05:59.000 It's exciting to make a family.

01:06:01.000 It's not exciting to stay single.

01:06:04.000 Single is not as exciting as marriage.

01:06:06.000 I've been both.

01:06:07.000 And I know that a lot of single people think you can't think of anything more boring than being married. 0.63

01:06:14.000 They don't understand that making a family, raising kids, having a partner through life, that's damn, damn exciting compared to, gee, where will I have dinner tonight? 0.86

01:06:26.000 I'm single. 0.94

01:06:27.000 I can decide.

01:06:28.000 I don't have to bounce that off somebody else.

01:06:30.000 But you know what I think happens for a lot of people is, For one, they don't understand the value.

01:06:36.000 They don't understand their roots, or the history, or the cultural significance.

01:06:39.000 And we've become gluttonous, in a sense.

01:06:44.000 Good times make weak men, as it were.

01:06:47.000 What I was going to say is, if there's one thing that is a wake-up call to anyone who is single, that you need to have a family, it's going to the hospital.

01:06:54.000 Being a single adult male, and having an issue where you have to go to the hospital, and you're lying in that bed, all by yourself, and you're like, oh, this is very bad.

01:07:03.000 Like, you're in trouble.

01:07:04.000 That's a tough one because if you haven't been married, you don't know how great it is.

01:07:09.000 Right.

01:07:09.000 And this society, for the first time in its history, has not told every young person, get married.

01:07:15.000 They tell them, get a career.

01:07:17.000 And then so all these career women call my show. 1.00

01:07:21.000 That's the great advantage of having a talk show.

01:07:24.000 I talk with people, not just to people.

01:07:27.000 I talk with them and half of 40 years and I should make a collection of the calls from women 50.

01:07:35.000 So let's talk about this.

01:07:36.000 We've had various dating experts and personalities talk about this issue.

01:07:39.000 I'm curious on what the experience is.

01:07:41.000 and they have no children and they believe they were sold a terrible bill of goods.

01:07:47.000 And they were.

01:07:48.000 So let's talk about this.

01:07:49.000 We've had various dating experts and personalities talk about this issue.

01:07:54.000 I'm curious on what the experience is, what do you commonly hear from women who have careers 0.92

01:07:58.000 over families?

01:07:59.000 Look, I have to be intellectually honest and tell you these are the ones calling my show.

01:08:04.000 They may well call a left-wing show and say, oh, I am so thrilled I never had a husband and children because I can't tell you how much I enjoy being the CEO of this computer software company.

01:08:16.000 That may well be.

01:08:18.000 I can't imagine such a person.

01:08:19.000 By the way, I can't imagine it even in a man.

01:08:21.000 And men are more driven, generally speaking, in the macro arena, just the way male nature is, for better or for worse.

01:08:29.000 But, according to even the New York Times, it is the highest rate of depression among young women in American

01:08:41.000 history.

01:08:41.000 We have never had what we have had now.

01:08:44.000 It is completely a function of the feminist lie that a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle. 1.00

01:08:51.000 Oh, you don't need men. 0.99

01:08:52.000 You need a career.

01:08:53.000 That will really make your life.

01:08:55.000 And it was a function of the lockdowns.

01:08:58.000 What I called in April 2020, people can see it on the internet, I was universally mocked for it, the greatest mistake in history on a worldwide basis, the lockdowns, which they turned out to be.

01:09:11.000 Yet people bought it for reasons because once they hear experts say, experts say to the secular is what thus saith the Lord is to the religious.

01:09:23.000 Do you think maybe birth control is playing a role in this?

01:09:30.000 It's hormonal mass medication of young women.

01:09:32.000 And obviously the left's attitude is it's good, it's important, that way women can date and be promiscuous enough to worry about having a baby and they can maintain their career. 0.97

01:09:41.000 But I'm also wondering if it perhaps alters the perception.

01:09:45.000 One thing that I've read is that women often get advised to get off birth control before marrying their partner, their significant other, because it alters their perception.

01:09:56.000 And many women will find, after getting off birth control, their man smells bad.

01:10:01.000 And they say that if that's true, don't marry them because something's not right.

01:10:06.000 But being on birth control clouds that perception.

01:10:10.000 If that's the case, I'm wondering if this is also clouding other issues, and perhaps if a woman is on birth control, maybe it's an issue of, you know, when she comes off birth control and she's older, and that hormone is removed from the body, maybe her perception changes or something to that effect.

01:10:24.000 I never heard that.

01:10:27.000 Have you heard that, Lydia?

01:10:28.000 Sorry, about the smell thing?

01:10:29.000 I have heard that about the smell thing, and I've heard that if you smell your partner and they don't, it's very subconscious, and sometimes you don't even notice it until after you're not on birth control anymore.

01:10:40.000 Now, I don't exactly have anything that I personally can say about this because I lost my sense of smell to COVID in November.

01:10:46.000 It's been gone since November.

01:10:48.000 It's been gone for a really long time.

01:10:50.000 And I'm getting to the point where I'm worried that when I have my first child, I won't be able to smell them, which is horrifying.

01:10:55.000 But when you bring up the sense of smell with women, it's like they don't even realize it's something that they're missing. 1.00

01:11:00.000 So it's very subconscious, and I think it's something that should definitely It has a lot to do with pheromones and it has a lot to do to see if they're compatible with each other biologically.

01:11:08.000 And this is why, you know, a lot of people also put on a lot of heavy metals and deodorants right in their armpits, right into one of the major flows of blood in their entire body.

01:11:16.000 That also has a lot of negative health consequences.

01:11:18.000 There's been horror stories after horror stories when it comes to birth control in women. 1.00

01:11:23.000 and and business insider had a very interesting article in two thousand

01:11:26.000 fifteen i was titled women now control more than half of u s personal wealth 1.00

01:11:32.000 which will only increase in years to come and i think uh... i don't know if you could pinpoint it to one

01:11:37.000 particular thing but we are seeing the destruction of the family unit we're seeing the

01:11:41.000 deep population plan that has been rolled out that is implemented and we're

01:11:46.000 seeing the larger consequences of this where you are musk just we did even a 0.75

01:11:49.000 couple hours ago birth rates being below minimal sustainable levels for over 50 years now.

01:11:57.000 The fertility rates have been dropping, testosterone rates have been dropping, sperm rates have been dropping.

01:12:01.000 Guess who have a lot of children? 0.72

01:12:04.000 Religious Catholics, religious Jews, religious Protestants, and religious Mormons.

01:12:08.000 Well, I'll tell you.

01:12:09.000 I know everybody who listens to this show, they've heard me say it.

01:12:12.000 There was a study in the early 2000s that found conservatives were having about 2.01 kids per family, and liberals were having like 1.73.

01:12:19.000 The logic is simple.

01:12:22.000 20 years later, we see in Pew Research, Gen Z is slightly more conservative than millennial, but they're very, very similar.

01:12:29.000 Well, it makes sense.

01:12:30.000 It's not that Gen Z were red-pilled, it's that conservatives had more kids!

01:12:35.000 So, if You get 100 conservatives and 100 liberals, and the liberals only have 70 kids out of the 100 parents, and the conservatives have 100 kids.

01:12:45.000 You take that 100 conservative kids and 70 liberal kids, put them together and poll the 170, and you're like, wow, it's mostly conservative.

01:12:52.000 I wonder why.

01:12:53.000 Simply put, I read a story that said the future is Muslim, because Muslims have even more kids than Christian conservatives do.

01:13:01.000 And they said it's simple math, that if liberals are going to be aborting their children and just not trying to have kids in the first place, more likely for the women to have careers, conservatives are more likely to have kids, but devout religious fundamentalist Muslim are having substantially more kids, then the future will skew in the direction of that faith. 0.90

01:13:20.000 And a lot of the people who don't have a religion, don't believe in a higher power, usually are more susceptible to propaganda on the television.

01:13:29.000 And there's been a lot of subliminal propaganda saying, don't have children.

01:13:32.000 This is especially true in Europe, where there's major advertisements saying, you could be more free, you could enjoy life more if you don't have your children.

01:13:40.000 Don't have your children because it's bad for the environment.

01:13:42.000 Moral, that's it.

01:13:43.000 You're morally obligated.

01:13:45.000 Exactly.

01:13:45.000 Children are bad for the carbon emissions problem.

01:13:50.000 I think it's funny that there's that meme that says you are the carbon they're trying to reduce.

01:13:54.000 Yeah, that's a misnomer about carbon.

01:13:55.000 When they literally write articles saying that, it's like...

01:13:58.000 There's this belief that we have too much and that that's that, but we're going to start pulling carbon out of the air.

01:14:03.000 There's technology where you can deposit carbon dioxide onto palladium and create graphene out of it, which is just a monoatomic layer of carbon, and then we can reuse the graphene as a building material.

01:14:12.000 So we'll start harvesting the carbon dioxide and competing with trees, and then we're going to need more carbon dioxide.

01:14:17.000 They will... I am convinced that the Greens If we had perfect technology to remove carbon dioxide, they would still push for solar panels and windmills.

01:14:36.000 But not nuclear power.

01:14:38.000 That's the proof.

01:14:39.000 Nuclear power is the proof.

01:14:41.000 There is a romantic fixation on bringing us back to the 17th century or 18th century.

01:14:49.000 Nuclear power powers 60% of France's electricity.

01:14:54.000 It is safe, it is clean, if indeed carbon is dirty, it is clean, and yet they are opposed to nuclear power.

01:15:02.000 So if that, I've read about that, and you would think that they would be thrilled to know that, but they are no more thrilled about removing carbon dioxide than they are about nuclear power.

01:15:13.000 They want us to use solar panels and wind power.

01:15:16.000 Germany?

01:15:16.000 Got rid of all of their nuclear power plants.

01:15:19.000 Well, I have a theory, which is not meant to be bigoted, and there are certainly exceptions, but my theory is Germany is always wrong. 0.94

01:15:31.000 When Angela Merkel did that, she just fed my belief, Germany is always wrong.

01:15:38.000 Well, they were really hoping to be dependent upon Russian gas and oil, so here we are.

01:15:41.000 Isn't that beautiful?

01:15:42.000 If I could ask you, because you said you traveled in a lot of Eastern European countries, if you don't mind me transitioning here, what do you think of what's happening in Ukraine right now?

01:15:50.000 What's your perspective from everything, since there's a mainstream media establishment push from one perspective, but it's a very complicated situation?

01:15:58.000 So, I don't think it's as complicated as a lot of my fellow conservatives think it is.

01:16:06.000 Russia did something evil in invading Ukraine.

01:16:10.000 You can think things through to the end.

01:16:13.000 Is the Ukrainian government corrupt?

01:16:15.000 Okay, if we don't defend the independence of a country because the government is corrupt, we will never defend any country.

01:16:24.000 Government is corrupt, almost by definition, because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as was said by Lord Acton in the 19th century.

01:16:33.000 Tends to corrupt absolutely.

01:16:35.000 Oh, is that what he said?

01:16:35.000 Tends?

01:16:36.000 I thought corrupt.

01:16:37.000 Either way, take a look.

01:16:39.000 I am curious.

01:16:40.000 I want to quote it correctly.

01:16:42.000 Either way, it's accurate.

01:16:44.000 So, look.

01:16:50.000 What we should do is a separate question from the moral one.

01:16:54.000 Remember, I think in moral terms.

01:16:56.000 The invasion of Ukraine, the obliteration of its independence, or the attempt to do so, is evil.

01:17:04.000 If that's not evil, then why was Germany's invasion of Poland evil?

01:17:10.000 So, Lord Acton said, power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

01:17:16.000 So I got the second part right and the first part wrong because I dropped tens from the first part.

01:17:21.000 And I think, I was assuming the tens was on the last part.

01:17:23.000 Right, so we both got one part wrong.

01:17:25.000 So what do you think about the $40 billion and now today the additional $1 billion that's going to Ukraine as of today?

01:17:32.000 Right, so that's a very fair question.

01:17:36.000 The original sin about the $40 billion is that we printed trillions of dollars of dollars because of the Democrats, and that is not the only thing that has created the terrible inflation.

01:17:52.000 And the other is that we are now giving not from our surplus weaponry, but from the heart of our weaponry, because the Democrats have, over the course of decades, said we don't need so many weapons as we have.

01:18:10.000 But if America is not the strongest country on earth, cruelty will dominate the earth.

01:18:16.000 That's just the fact of life, and conservatives should be the first to say that.

01:18:21.000 But what does that mean?

01:18:23.000 I mean, we're looking at a multipolar world with China now coming to compete with the United States.

01:18:28.000 Right, and my belief is that China is looking and saying, whoa.

01:18:34.000 If Sweden and Finland want now to join NATO, maybe the backlash against Putin may have us rethink our desire to invade Taiwan.

01:18:48.000 I don't think that China is more likely to invade Taiwan given the reaction of the Western world to Russia.

01:18:56.000 I think they're less likely to do so.

01:18:58.000 I thought the same thing.

01:18:59.000 Really?

01:19:00.000 Yeah, most people think differently, I think.

01:19:03.000 They think this is emboldening China.

01:19:06.000 I don't think it's emboldening China.

01:19:07.000 You see the way Russia got annihilated financially when it happened.

01:19:10.000 Yes, that's right, exactly.

01:19:12.000 Well, if you look at the markets now, it's far more complicated.

01:19:15.000 But earlier we talked about how do we prevent the loss of life.

01:19:18.000 How can we do that, especially in Ukraine, when I think it's very essential and very clear that the United States is just giving them enough weapons to prolong this war.

01:19:28.000 They gave them specific hardware that was missing equipment on it that would have been a game changer for the Ukrainians, but they're giving equipment just enough to prolong the conflict but not have a decisive victory.

01:19:39.000 Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, came to this larger kind of geopolitical conundrum and he said, There has to be some kind of a peace deal.

01:19:47.000 There has to be some kind of negotiation.

01:19:50.000 And he's even suggesting some kind of way to de-escalate this entire situation.

01:19:55.000 I would love to see that.

01:19:57.000 Is your perspective de-escalate or is your perspective we should obliterate that?

01:20:01.000 No, I would love to de-escalate.

01:20:06.000 Look, if you really want an original sin, or at least a beginning sin, in the direction of what you're saying, it is this president, which I say with difficulty, I admit, this president saying that Putin has to go.

01:20:24.000 You have put Putin in the place of, I have no choice but to win.

01:20:31.000 But for the New York Times and the entire elite of this country, there is no sin Biden can commit, because any Democrat is better than any Republican.

01:20:43.000 And by the way, I believe Virtually any Republican is better than any Democrat.

01:20:47.000 So I just want to make that clear.

01:20:49.000 I think the Democrats are ruining America.

01:20:52.000 They think Republicans are ruining America.

01:20:54.000 That's why we may have a civil war. 0.75

01:20:56.000 That is correct.

01:20:57.000 That was your original point of our dialogue here.

01:21:00.000 But his saying Putin has to go?

01:21:03.000 That he's a war criminal?

01:21:05.000 Then Putin is going to say, I'm crazy for doing anything but going whole hog into Ukraine.

01:21:13.000 They've given the man no way out.

01:21:15.000 Not they.

01:21:15.000 Biden and the Democrats.

01:21:18.000 Yeah, I think the whole situation is extremely dangerous.

01:21:21.000 It is, it is extremely dangerous.

01:21:23.000 Strive towards, you know, negotiations, de-escalation.

01:21:26.000 Yeah, but he doesn't want to negotiate.

01:21:28.000 I agree with you.

01:21:29.000 So why would you say, since I agree with you, what is the modus operandi that we would get him to negotiate?

01:21:36.000 Say, we'll give you Eastern Ukraine?

01:21:39.000 That's what Biden actually proposed.

01:21:41.000 The President of the United States actually proposed doing that.

01:21:45.000 Is that a solution?

01:21:46.000 No, I don't claim to know any answers here, but I think aggravating the situation is definitely not the right approach here.

01:21:52.000 Aggravating and defending are identical.

01:21:56.000 You always aggravate a situation when you arm the victim.

01:22:00.000 Well, if we're going to be doing something here, we should do it decisively, not to prolong a proxy conflict.

01:22:06.000 Well, I don't know.

01:22:08.000 There's been specific military munitions, especially when it comes to the howitzers, that are missing key GPS components that would change the game, but the United States is not giving them that.

01:22:16.000 So that to me, I think this is again a very complex issue.

01:22:19.000 I don't claim to know the answers here.

01:22:21.000 I don't claim to know the solutions.

01:22:22.000 As a Polish person, we always have a lot of distrust against the Soviets and the Russians.

01:22:26.000 For good reason.

01:22:27.000 And obviously so, because of the history and the bloodshed and the life loss that was committed there.

01:22:31.000 And this is a conundrum that is very difficult to address.

01:22:35.000 When I went to Poland during the Cold War, because again that was my field, So, I speak Russian, and I spoke, I'd go to, you know, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, East Germany, Romania.

01:22:46.000 So, I would go there, and because I spoke Russian, I got along, because they had to learn Russian.

01:22:53.000 They had no choice.

01:22:54.000 So, I would ask, let's say, a poll.

01:22:56.000 So, I would go, I'm an American.

01:23:00.000 Do you speak Russian?

01:23:01.000 And every single one gave the same answer.

01:23:06.000 Yes, but I don't want to.

01:23:09.000 It sounds like there might be people that want a limited war right now, like another Vietnam and Ukraine.

01:23:14.000 Even Kissinger came out and was like, that's a bad idea, by the way.

01:23:17.000 He's like the architect of limited war, because it's better than a total war.

01:23:21.000 But he's like, this is not the time or the place to do a limited war.

01:23:25.000 I don't know why.

01:23:26.000 Maybe because corporations are the arms manufacturers right now, and they don't care about any government.

01:23:31.000 Well, not to deviate, I suppose, but Dennis, why do you think Ukraine's fallen out of the news cycle?

01:23:38.000 People get bored when there is nothing new to report, and they are understandably more preoccupied with their own lives, whether right or wrong, and they are watching America crumble, financially, economically, morally, and that's the reason.

01:23:58.000 What is there to report?

01:24:00.000 I mean, look, Vietnam, I mean, I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam War, and There was a point where people tuned out of the Vietnam War reports.

01:24:10.000 They were still made, and of course that was much more directly involved because Americans were dying.

01:24:15.000 Americans are not dying in Ukraine, which is another factor.

01:24:18.000 Americans are not dying in Ukraine.

01:24:21.000 So it's understandable.

01:24:24.000 I want to show you guys this image.

01:24:28.000 This is from James Lindsay, but this is something that we've actually talked about on this show.

01:24:31.000 This is a poll showing five different regions of the United States and their propensity towards seceding from the Union by region based on political party.

01:24:42.000 You can see the southern states, which is Texas, Florida, Virginia, etc.

01:24:48.000 Shows 66% of Republicans favor secession.

01:24:53.000 In the heartland, as it's described, 43% of independent voters favor secession.

01:25:00.000 In the mountain region, the plurality is 43% of Republicans.

01:25:05.000 In the Pacific region, I believe it's 47% of Democrats favor secession.

01:25:11.000 In the Northeast, it's split fairly evenly, 39% Democrat, 35% Independent, and then a smaller portion of Republicans.

01:25:19.000 So, here's what I did.

01:25:20.000 When I saw this story, I took each region, Their total population and the percentages based on political affiliation of population.

01:25:29.000 Then I normalized it for the entire country using this data to find 37.2% of people in this country favor their particular region breaking off to form its own country.

01:25:39.000 More than one third of people in this country want their region to secede.

01:25:44.000 That is an extreme extrapolation.

01:25:46.000 I don't know if I would be comfortable talking about a third of the country because how many people were pulled here? 0.86

01:25:51.000 6,000?

01:25:52.000 And if you ask these people, how many of you want world peace?

01:25:56.000 You'd get 98% of the people in the Northeast want world peace.

01:25:59.000 They don't know what it means.

01:26:00.000 They don't know what secession means.

01:26:01.000 That doesn't refute what I'm saying.

01:26:04.000 Just because someone doesn't know what it means to destroy things doesn't mean they're not going to advocate for it.

01:26:08.000 But to say that 6,000 people want it, so therefore a third of the United States extrapolates is a misnomer, I think, is a misdirection.

01:26:14.000 I just think you don't understand how polling is done.

01:26:17.000 That's how polling's done.

01:26:18.000 They get a small segment and then they extrapolate it to the whole, and it's not accurate.

01:26:22.000 Right, right, right.

01:26:23.000 So when you're looking at various sample sizes, typically there's scientifically weighted polls that have a margin of error included in it, and to the best of our understanding, this is the sentiment.

01:26:32.000 Oh, the point I was making is I think they don't know what that means to secede.

01:26:36.000 Everyone wants a nice peaceful debate.

01:26:39.000 Look at where Harper's Ferry is, dude.

01:26:41.000 It's like between three.

01:26:43.000 Like, you don't see the bloodshed that went on in Harper's Ferry?

01:26:45.000 So you're both right, and I'm not trying to be a nice guy here, that they don't really understand.

01:26:53.000 It's not feasible, is what you're saying.

01:26:55.000 It's infinitely complex.

01:26:57.000 It's not like the South seceding.

01:26:59.000 That's one whole region and it leaves.

01:27:01.000 Whereas, you know, what are you going to do to give Harper's Ferry the example you gave?

01:27:06.000 But I think you're right that that percentage of Americans do want to leave the other part of America.

01:27:13.000 I live in California, and if L.A., San Francisco decided to make their own state with all their wealth and everything else they had, I would be a very happy man.

01:27:26.000 So I am in that little group.

01:27:29.000 I know it can't happen.

01:27:30.000 But if you were to poll me and ask me, would you like San Francisco and L.A.

01:27:36.000 to secede from California and make their own very wealthy state, I would say I would love to and live in the other part.

01:27:42.000 It can happen.

01:27:44.000 So, you know, they didn't think the first civil war could happen.

01:27:47.000 They thought it was impossible.

01:27:48.000 People were having picnics on the hill overlooking Fort Sumter thinking nothing was going to happen and it was all nothing.

01:27:54.000 In fact, even after the battle, I'm not sure if it was Lee, said, I don't even know if this battle matters.

01:28:00.000 Sure enough, it was the battle that kicked off the Civil War.

01:28:03.000 Abraham Lincoln wasn't even president when the first, I believe, seven states seceded.

01:28:08.000 Then he comes in and he says, I do not recognize secession.

01:28:11.000 The southern states said, too late.

01:28:12.000 We seceded before you were even president.

01:28:14.000 Then he comes in and says, we're taking these military bases.

01:28:16.000 Fighting breaks out.

01:28:17.000 A whole bunch of other states are like, you've lost the plot attacking states.

01:28:21.000 We are out as well.

01:28:23.000 Nobody believed a state could do it until it happened.

01:28:27.000 So I take a look at polls like this and I take a look at numerous advancements towards seceding from at least counties or

01:28:35.000 cities.

01:28:36.000 We've got Oregon. A bunch of these districts in the East of Oregon want to

01:28:40.000 secede from the state to join the greater state of Jefferson or North

01:28:42.000 Carolina wants to secede to join the state of Jefferson to create a new state. The

01:28:47.000 sentiment is there and all that it takes for the sentiment to become reality

01:28:51.000 is a lack of confidence in the system.

01:28:53.000 In the first Civil War, the issue was, one of the issues, was the North was not following federal law, particularly the Fugitive Slave Act.

01:29:02.000 The South said, if we have a pact, And we all agree, Congress, that's the law, and you have to follow it.

01:29:07.000 And these states do not follow it, and the federal government doesn't enforce it, then there clearly is no pact.

01:29:12.000 We're out.

01:29:13.000 Because, you know, in their perspective, it was just, well, they already decided that the federal government wasn't standing, so we have no point in being a part of this union.

01:29:22.000 It's entirely possible that we see the same thing this time around.

01:29:25.000 That it may seem unthinkable until it just happens gradually, then suddenly.

01:29:31.000 I'm not saying that it can't shatter, because the U.S.

01:29:33.000 could fall apart and shatter, but it wouldn't look like that.

01:29:36.000 It wouldn't be like six nice, cut, neatly parts.

01:29:39.000 It'd be like, do you want to board your windows up and hope that the Air Force doesn't strike tonight kind of thing?

01:29:44.000 And no one wants that.

01:29:45.000 But these people don't get that.

01:29:48.000 And I know that, because we've had people say peaceful divorce over and over again.

01:29:51.000 And what I tell them, you know, Luke talked about peaceful divorce early on, Michael Malice has, and I say, that's what the first civil war was for the first few months.

01:30:00.000 It was a bunch of states saying, we hereby decree, have a nice day.

01:30:02.000 And that was it.

01:30:04.000 Until the issue of weapons came up.

01:30:06.000 And then Abraham Lincoln in the Union said, those military bases are ours and we want them.

01:30:12.000 And the southern states were like, well, you're no longer welcome here.

01:30:15.000 And then they fought.

01:30:16.000 And that led to a greater fight.

01:30:17.000 Now, on the north side, you had a whole bunch of people who were ideologically driven, who absolutely were like, now's the time to shut down slavery.

01:30:24.000 And I think that was correct.

01:30:27.000 But you know, I bring this up just to say, when two Different groups feel the law is not being upheld and that

01:30:32.000 the social contract is already shattered It's not an issue of them declaring secession. It's an

01:30:37.000 issue of them saying you already seceded Let me give you if I may a micro example. I

01:30:42.000 Advocate almost every day of my radio show that in the great majority of instances parents should take

01:30:50.000 their kids out of school and Homeschool them or find one of the rare decent schools for

01:30:56.000 their kids A school that will not rob their children of sexual innocence at the age of five.

01:31:02.000 A school that will not teach them the lie that America was founded in 1619 and other terrible lies and calumnies about America.

01:31:10.000 So, that is secession.

01:31:12.000 I'm asking parents to secede from the public school system and the private school system.

01:31:17.000 So, yeah, I think if you do it, we have an irreparable divide.

01:31:25.000 I say this with great sadness.

01:31:27.000 But we always have, religion, all these different fractured cultures and religions. 0.99

01:31:31.000 That was the idea.

01:31:32.000 It's not been this bad.

01:31:33.000 It's definitely exposed right now.

01:31:35.000 No, this is new.

01:31:36.000 Just like the war on free speech, that to me, that's all you need to know.

01:31:41.000 That 45% of college students say that they are for free speech, but not for free speech for hate speech.

01:31:52.000 That's the end of free speech.

01:31:54.000 That you keep saying about not thinking clearly, that's a perfect example.

01:31:59.000 The whole point of free speech is that it allows speech you think is hate speech.

01:32:04.000 Otherwise, you wouldn't need the concept of free speech.

01:32:05.000 Exactly!

01:32:06.000 What is there?

01:32:06.000 Free speech for love speech?

01:32:07.000 Are you an idiot? 1.00

01:32:08.000 And yes, they are. 1.00

01:32:09.000 They're idiots. 1.00

01:32:10.000 And they were rendered idiots. 1.00

01:32:12.000 Because at 10, they understood the concept of free speech for any speech. 1.00

01:32:17.000 But if they went to college, they don't.

01:32:19.000 Here's my proposed scenario, which I'm not saying is probable.

01:32:22.000 I'm just saying potential.

01:32:24.000 Or, you know, maybe it's a very, very micro possibility.

01:32:26.000 I'm just saying, here's something I see as a possible path towards civil war.

01:32:32.000 They keep dancing around Roe v. Wade, Roe and Casey getting overturned.

01:32:36.000 We had last night, scuttlebutt coming out of the D.C., you know, staffers and journalists saying that the decision was coming today.

01:32:43.000 And then it didn't.

01:32:44.000 Now they're like, mm-mm, maybe next week, you know, we'll see.

01:32:47.000 And it seems to me that they're really just trying to shock everyone and then pull it back to try and desensitize them.

01:32:51.000 But anyway, I digress.

01:32:52.000 Here's my potential scenario.

01:32:54.000 Roe and Casey are overturned.

01:32:55.000 Abortion goes back to the states.

01:32:56.000 Instantly, a dozen states have trigger laws.

01:32:59.000 Abortion becomes illegal overnight.

01:33:02.000 Blue states double down and say abortion to the point of birth, which we already see in Colorado, and was attempted in Virginia.

01:33:08.000 There are, I think, a couple other states that have completely unrestricted abortion, which means a baby at nine months gestation, which could survive on its own, is killed and removed from the woman.

01:33:18.000 I then think we're going to look at a red wave in November.

01:33:22.000 And we've already had, you know, Jamal Bowman say that, oh, you know, civil wars are at stake if we don't win this one.

01:33:30.000 And there are people who are saying that the country can't exist at the midterms.

01:33:33.000 It's over.

01:33:33.000 It's civil war.

01:33:35.000 So let's say Republicans get in, you know, talking to... Actually, let me ask you this, Dennis.

01:33:40.000 Are you pro-life?

01:33:42.000 Yeah, I believe in compromising for the sake of the greater good so that if we could have it the second two-thirds of pregnancy, if we could make exceptions in rape and abortion, rape and incest, fully understanding, I believe that it is a human life.

01:34:01.000 Would you support a nationwide ban on elective abortion?

01:34:07.000 A nationwide ban on elective abortion.

01:34:10.000 Meaning, no reason given.

01:34:13.000 I know, I fully understand that.

01:34:15.000 Throughout the pregnancy?

01:34:16.000 Yeah.

01:34:17.000 In other words, even from conception, and even including rape and incest.

01:34:23.000 I would not support that law, because the greater good for the country would, I think, militate against it.

01:34:30.000 I don't know about... I think in the issue of rape and incest, but that would be... Well, so that it wouldn't be across the board.

01:34:36.000 Well, so I think Oklahoma... Was it Oklahoma?

01:34:40.000 Or it may have been Texas, I'm not sure.

01:34:42.000 Oklahoma?

01:34:43.000 They say no elective abortions.

01:34:45.000 Rape, incest, health of the mother and the baby are reasons for abortion.

01:34:50.000 Right.

01:34:51.000 Would you agree with that, what Oklahoma's doing?

01:34:53.000 Or no, you think there's got to be some... I think it should be decided on not a national level.

01:34:56.000 I think it should be decided on a state level.

01:34:58.000 So I think, you know, that's what people pushed back on me when I presented this scenario.

01:35:03.000 A lot of Republicans said, no, no, because we believe in the state level.

01:35:07.000 So my potential is, you know, talking with Seamus, for instance, who's a Catholic conservative, I said, would you support a nationwide ban on abortions?

01:35:13.000 Absolutely.

01:35:14.000 And so, let's just say, hypothetically, the chances are very, very slim.

01:35:18.000 Republicans decide, we are going to push for a nationwide ban on elective abortion.

01:35:22.000 Or, at the very least, they say something like, no abortion after 12 weeks.

01:35:26.000 We're going to use the European standard.

01:35:29.000 The left loses it and says, absolutely not.

01:35:31.000 You then end up with it passing.

01:35:33.000 I'll put it this way.

01:35:35.000 The House and the Senate are Republican.

01:35:36.000 They pass the bill.

01:35:37.000 Biden vetoes it.

01:35:38.000 They do not have a veto-proof majority, or they can't get past a filibuster.

01:35:41.000 Come 2024, Donald Trump says, the first thing I'll do when elected is sign the bill.

01:35:45.000 And then he gets elected.

01:35:47.000 Day one, he signs the bill, sends it out.

01:35:49.000 Boom.

01:35:50.000 Nationwide.

01:35:50.000 No abortions after 12 weeks.

01:35:52.000 The left says, we don't care.

01:35:54.000 We're going to do it anyway.

01:35:55.000 Blue states begin carrying on as if it's not, you know, not an issue.

01:36:01.000 The issue I see there, then, is it becomes very similar to the issue of slavery.

01:36:05.000 One state saying, we deny personhood.

01:36:08.000 Everyone else saying, we grant personhood.

01:36:10.000 In this instance, you have conservatives who believe that life begins at conception, and the fetus is a person deserving of rights.

01:36:16.000 And you have the left that says, they're not and they don't.

01:36:19.000 So I suppose what I see there is a very similar situation, which could ignite a civil war.

01:36:24.000 Blue states saying, we will not follow federal law.

01:36:26.000 Red states saying, if you're not following the law, then how do we have a union?

01:36:30.000 Blue states saying, we are going to do this anyway.

01:36:32.000 And then red states saying, or at least the federal level, we're going to stop you from breaking the law.

01:36:37.000 I suppose where it really gets dark is, In, um, I think it may have been Louisiana.

01:36:42.000 They attempted to codify abortion as homicide.

01:36:46.000 Was it, was it Louisiana?

01:36:47.000 One of these states.

01:36:49.000 If that were the case... Well, ironically, it is homicide.

01:36:51.000 Well, but... Unless the woman wants to kill it, which is part of the moral... 1.00

01:36:57.000 inconsistency of the pro-choice community.

01:37:00.000 It is homicide.

01:37:01.000 So let me entertain this legal conundrum.

01:37:04.000 If there was a man, a white man, who kidnapped a black man and had him in chains and was demanding he work for him and be a slave or something, you try to intervene and say, release this man, I'm going to save him, I'm intervening. 0.99

01:37:19.000 If that crazed guy attacks you, And you, in defense of this other man, kill him. 0.97

01:37:26.000 You're acting in the defense of others. 0.99

01:37:27.000 It's an affirmative defense as it pertains to the taking of a person's life.

01:37:31.000 What my concern is, if we do see the codification of abortion as a homicide, as a criminal act akin to any other murder, Well, that is the reason, when you asked me do I want a national law banning all abortions, and I had hesitation even though I am pro-life, is that I think that the pro-life community as well needs to be honest in confronting

01:38:05.000 The fact that we don't see it as identical to murder.

01:38:09.000 I have never called it murder.

01:38:11.000 I've always called it homicide.

01:38:13.000 I've always called it immoral.

01:38:14.000 But I've never called it murder.

01:38:17.000 And it becomes murder, I would say, by the third trimester.

01:38:21.000 I think it does become murder.

01:38:23.000 I think there's a graduated element of sin or evil in the abortion world. 0.95

01:38:30.000 But I asked, when I began radio, this question. 0.98

01:38:34.000 If it's murder, Why don't you kill abortion doctors? 1.00

01:38:40.000 You can't. 0.99

01:38:41.000 If next door to you was a concentration camp killing Jews, you would feel morally obligated to murder the commandant of the camp. 0.91

01:38:50.000 You made a comment about the greater good. 0.95

01:38:53.000 We gotta go to Super Chats.

01:38:54.000 We're way late.

01:38:56.000 We're getting the after show.

01:38:57.000 Sorry, sorry man.

01:38:58.000 But we're eight minutes late.

01:38:59.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:39:01.000 Smash the like button, subscribe to the channel, share the show, head over to TimCast.com.

01:39:04.000 We've got a lot more conversation to be had.

01:39:07.000 Obviously, it's getting a little spicy, so we'll move this over to the website, members-only show over at TimCast.com.

01:39:14.000 But for now, we'll try and get as many Super Chances... Super Chats... Super Chances! 0.92

01:39:19.000 Super Chats in... 0.89

01:39:21.000 Right now.

01:39:22.000 Moon Phaser says, Will Tim fight in the Civil War?

01:39:25.000 Oh man, I do not want to be involved in that, and neither do you.

01:39:28.000 I have been on the streets of urban conflict that was gradually...

01:39:32.000 Actually, no, I've been in a...

01:39:34.000 I don't know, I've been in a revolution before. Not fun.

01:39:36.000 I mean, there's a certain element that's exciting to it, but you do not want to live that way.

01:39:40.000 It is scary stuff.

01:39:42.000 War is hell on earth.

01:39:43.000 Yep.

01:39:44.000 Alright.

01:39:46.000 Matt Nill says, As Tim and Dennis, I never thought I'd see you in the same

01:39:50.000 room, but it makes my heart Dennis, I met you in Orlando, Florida at the Holy Land Experience a few years ago.

01:39:56.000 You said my beard made me look like Smith Bros.

01:39:58.000 Cough Drops.

01:40:00.000 I remember that guy.

01:40:01.000 Do you know Smith Bros.

01:40:03.000 Cough Drops?

01:40:03.000 No.

01:40:03.000 I didn't think so.

01:40:04.000 Okay, fine.

01:40:05.000 Is it an older thing?

01:40:06.000 I guess so, yeah.

01:40:07.000 It's worth looking up on the internet.

01:40:09.000 Smith Bros.

01:40:09.000 Cough Drops.

01:40:10.000 Look at the little box.

01:40:13.000 Smackyfrog says, hey Tim, what pillow were you sleeping on when your back was injured?

01:40:16.000 My pillow or our pillow?

01:40:18.000 Need to know for science.

01:40:20.000 It was some weird foam dense, I hate foam pillows.

01:40:22.000 I hate memory foam, it's awful.

01:40:24.000 And it's like my shoulder, back.

01:40:26.000 It's like a combination of my shoulder and back.

01:40:28.000 I strained a muscle really bad.

01:40:30.000 So it's, oof.

01:40:31.000 Just take a naproxen, like, a leave, and it's not good for your stomach.

01:40:36.000 I'm looking at the dude's beard from Smith Brothers, that's hot.

01:40:39.000 Yeah, good. 0.83

01:40:42.000 Alright, John Harrison says, time to see if Ian is enough of a mad lad to start an anti-Christianity rant with Prager looking him in the eye.

01:40:50.000 My money is on no.

01:40:51.000 I'll take this as an opportunity to ask you, who do you like better, Jesus or Moses?

01:40:57.000 Well, I'm a believing Jew.

01:40:59.000 It's unfair to Christians for me to answer it, because obviously if I thought Jesus had a better message, I'd be a Christian. 0.99

01:41:07.000 So I have great admiration for Jesus.

01:41:10.000 I am probably the biggest non-Christian defender of Christianity in America. 0.90

01:41:17.000 I think I brought more people back to their Christian church than almost any Christian living, to be honest.

01:41:23.000 And I'm proud of that fact, but I'm a believing Jew, not a believing Christian. 0.78

01:41:27.000 I should point out, I love the idea of Christianity being the anointed one living like Christ, but I'm not into the authoritarian nature of church, of the organization of it.

01:41:37.000 Maybe we can talk about that at some point.

01:41:38.000 Well, yeah, look, religion can't be a democracy. 0.86

01:41:42.000 You don't vote on the Ten Commandments.

01:41:45.000 This is like the old Jewish joke. 0.99

01:41:46.000 Moses comes down, for those who don't know their Bible, he came down twice. 0.98

01:41:51.000 He came down with the Ten Commandments the first time he saw the Israelites worshipping the golden calf and having an orgy and he smashes them. 0.97

01:42:01.000 Comes down the second time and he announces, Israelites, I have good news and bad news. 0.58

01:42:06.000 I got him down to ten.

01:42:09.000 The bad news, adultery stays.

01:42:13.000 So if people had to vote on adultery, they'd have voted to get rid of it. 0.99

01:42:18.000 So there has to be an authoritarian element.

01:42:22.000 God is the ultimate authority.

01:42:24.000 Whether the institution can be authoritarian, I'm not for that.

01:42:28.000 That I agree with.

01:42:29.000 I am not for a theocracy in the sense that a religious Government, like in Iran, can tell you what to do religiously.

01:42:38.000 Have you ever heard from God?

01:42:39.000 Let's read some more.

01:42:40.000 Yes, every time I read the Bible I hear from God, but I have never directly heard from God.

01:42:44.000 Alright, we got Fox Tashikado says, Hey Tim and crew, how is it that the left woke mob that is a pretty small group and really on here in the U.S.

01:42:53.000 has the most power?

01:42:55.000 Do you think this is backed by big tech and social media or something else?

01:43:00.000 What do you think?

01:43:01.000 How does the left have so much power considering they're actually a small group of people?

01:43:04.000 It's irrelevant.

01:43:06.000 Again, this is where, unfortunately, my studies in communism worked.

01:43:10.000 So, the name for the communists in Russia was Bolsheviks.

01:43:13.000 Bolsheviks means majority mix, majority group.

01:43:17.000 They were the minority group, but they called themselves the majority group.

01:43:21.000 The Nazis were only one third of the vote in Germany in 1932, and they took over. 0.83

01:43:27.000 You don't need, and I'm not saying that the left are Nazis, I'm just showing you that you don't need to be a majority

01:43:34.000 to take over a country.

01:43:35.000 I thought you made an interesting point.

01:43:36.000 You need to be ruthless.

01:43:37.000 You made a good point about banning free speech and just the curtailing of it.

01:43:41.000 And I'm thinking about algorithmic shadow banning where people don't know that they're being slowed down on the network.

01:43:47.000 Like if you were in a room speaking to a thousand people and you didn't know that they weren't hearing you and you were just talking and you thought they were hearing you, that would be unconscionable for the event that put it on.

01:43:56.000 They would be slandered in the media for doing that to you.

01:43:58.000 But on Twitter, if they've deranked your account, they can decide... Facebook has done that to PragerU.

01:44:05.000 I remember that.

01:44:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:44:06.000 Let's read this one.

01:44:06.000 We got Lord Blueberry says they laughed at Dennis when he said leftists claimed men could menstruate.

01:44:11.000 Bill Maher owes him an apology.

01:44:13.000 Has Bill called you?

01:44:14.000 You know what?

01:44:16.000 It's the last thing on my mind.

01:44:17.000 I would like to go back on his show and I won't even... I won't... Look, I'm so happy that... You gotta give him a look.

01:44:24.000 You gotta be like... I'll give him a look.

01:44:26.000 Fine.

01:44:26.000 And I will say Tim Poole told me to give you a look and everybody will then be happy.

01:44:31.000 I...

01:44:35.000 I expect so little.

01:44:38.000 From leftists, I expect nothing.

01:44:40.000 From liberals, which I think consider Bill Maher, there is so much a lack of courage among liberals that when there is a courageous liberal, I don't want to give him a hard time.

01:44:50.000 Yeah.

01:44:51.000 Yeah.

01:44:51.000 I hear you.

01:44:53.000 You know, it is what it is, I suppose.

01:44:54.000 I just wish Bill Maher would read the news.

01:44:58.000 The more they know, the more they're on our side.

01:45:02.000 That's the way it works.

01:45:04.000 That's the issue for me.

01:45:05.000 Fifty-one heads of national intelligence agencies in this country said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

01:45:17.000 Fifty-one.

01:45:19.000 I don't know of an exception among the heads of all intelligence in the United States.

01:45:24.000 It's corrupt beyond words.

01:45:26.000 This is new in America.

01:45:28.000 I grew up with such a veneration of this country and its institutions.

01:45:33.000 It's actually, in some ways, it's worse for you who are younger than me, and it's worse for me, because I see what happened.

01:45:42.000 When I was a kid, Superman was truth, justice, and the American way.

01:45:48.000 Now Superman is no longer an American.

01:45:50.000 Did you know that?

01:45:50.000 Yeah.

01:45:51.000 He stood in front of the UN and he announced, I give up my American citizenship.

01:45:57.000 He is no longer truth, justice, and the American way.

01:46:00.000 It is now truth, justice, and the better way.

01:46:02.000 He's not an American anymore, Superman. 0.78

01:46:04.000 I grew up in a country where you visited the graves of the fallen on Memorial Day.

01:46:11.000 I mean, I grew up in a different country.

01:46:14.000 These institutions did it to themselves.

01:46:16.000 I mean, it started with the war machine, the lies, manipulation, WMDs, Iraq, all of this stuff. 0.70

01:46:22.000 That disillusioned my generation, or at least I can speak for me and where I grew up, how we felt about it.

01:46:27.000 Now it's even worse.

01:46:28.000 Let's read this here.

01:46:29.000 We got Daniel Maxwell says there's nothing in the U.S.

01:46:31.000 Constitution that says this country is a democracy.

01:46:34.000 But Article 4, Section 4 does say the U.S.

01:46:36.000 government is obligated to guarantee to the states a Republican form of government.

01:46:40.000 Well, they wrote replicant, but I think they meant Republican because replicants are something else.

01:46:44.000 That'd be great.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, that's from... It's an important distinction.

01:46:47.000 We were not founded to be a democracy.

01:46:49.000 We were founded to be a republic.

01:46:51.000 That's why there's an electoral college.

01:46:53.000 That's why there's a Senate. 0.99

01:46:55.000 Neither is Democratic.

01:46:56.000 And that's why you have this multicultural democracy among the left where they keep saying our democracy is being threatened.

01:47:03.000 They're not wrong. 0.51

01:47:04.000 They are trying to create a democracy within a constitutional republic and subvert it.

01:47:09.000 And they are threatened by people who believe in a constitution.

01:47:12.000 You see people charging to Macy's the other day.

01:47:14.000 There's a huge crowd, hundreds of people in a mall.

01:47:16.000 Talk about a democracy in action.

01:47:17.000 That's the mob.

01:47:18.000 They want to coordinate and seize power.

01:47:21.000 No, Macy's is okay with it.

01:47:23.000 Well, maybe.

01:47:24.000 But that was an example of people on a Facebook group deciding democratically.

01:47:27.000 You tell me!

01:47:29.000 When Macy's comes out and complains about it, I will believe that Macy's cares.

01:47:34.000 No, Macy's won't say anything.

01:47:35.000 What happened at Macy's?

01:47:37.000 100% day sale.

01:47:37.000 It was a big, huge group of like 100 plus people just charging into Macy's to rob the place all at once.

01:47:43.000 It's called a raid.

01:47:44.000 And they all run in and just grab everything.

01:47:45.000 Wait a minute, Macy's is okay with that?

01:47:48.000 I haven't seen an official statement.

01:47:49.000 Have you heard them complain or issue a statement?

01:47:51.000 Oh, they're probably afraid to complain.

01:47:52.000 Well, you know, I may be called racist if maybe if in fact, I don't know who did it.

01:47:57.000 But if in fact, it was largely one race, in this case, blacks, I think it was that. 0.95

01:48:01.000 But then it would be it would be declared racist by Macy's. 1.00

01:48:05.000 They're cowards. The left. 1.00

01:48:09.000 This is my theory.

01:48:10.000 Do you know why Disney said what it did about, we won't say boys and girls anymore, or all of that stuff?

01:48:18.000 This is protection money.

01:48:20.000 Yeah.

01:48:20.000 It's a racket.

01:48:21.000 You pay the mafia, if you're a small business in New York, you pay the mafia to protect you.

01:48:27.000 You pay the left to protect you.

01:48:30.000 That is what it is about. 0.99

01:48:32.000 These corporate leaders are not leftists, they're cowards. 0.99

01:48:36.000 Alright, let's read some more. 0.96

01:48:37.000 Andrew Lance says, Dennis, thank you.

01:48:38.000 The Rational Bible, Exodus, and your five-minute videos were uniquely responsible for turning my life around and returning to my Catholic faith four and a half years ago.

01:48:46.000 Now I'm happily married with a baby on the way.

01:48:48.000 Thank you so much.

01:48:49.000 That makes my day.

01:48:50.000 That's awesome!

01:48:52.000 That's right.

01:48:53.000 So I just want to say, I'm very bad at self-promotion, but nobody writes a Bible commentary to get wealthy.

01:48:59.000 But if every one of your, no, if a tenth of your listeners read any of my Rational Bible volumes, it would enhance their life tremendously.

01:49:10.000 I'm not here to make you Christian or Jewish or anything else.

01:49:14.000 Just take God and that book seriously.

01:49:17.000 Richard Knight says, I came home two years ago excited to tell my Christian mother about this amazing man, Dennis Prager, I had heard on the radio.

01:49:24.000 Quote, oh, my favorite Jew, she exclaimed.

01:49:26.000 God bless all you and everything you do for our country.

01:49:29.000 Oh, so I always correct Christians who say I'm their favorite Jew. 0.72

01:49:32.000 I'm their second favorite Jew.

01:49:34.000 Jesus was their first favorite Jew. 0.99

01:49:38.000 That's so wild that he was a Jew. 1.00

01:49:40.000 Dave, have you ever heard the- A religious Jew. 0.95

01:49:43.000 As I- there was a bumper sticker in Greenwich Village when I grew up in New York and it said, Jesus grew up in a kosher home.

01:49:52.000 I heard this- I don't want to- I want to like the super chest but I heard this this theory that the Roman like the papacy or these these Romans oligarchs basically created Christianity to disempower the Jews in like 80 AD or something.

01:50:05.000 I don't think that's true.

01:50:06.000 That'd be freakish.

01:50:07.000 Yeah.

01:50:09.000 All right.

01:50:09.000 There were a lot of bad things done to Jews, but I don't think the Romans were in cahoots to do it.

01:50:15.000 Anthony Green says to Dennis Prager, can a Gentile truly convert to Judaism?

01:50:19.000 Can a Gentile, yeah. 1.00

01:50:21.000 As much as I deeply respect Judaism, my opinion is I cannot elect myself into the chosen people. 1.00

01:50:28.000 My God.

01:50:32.000 Both Judaism and Christianity hold that the Messiah will come from Ruth.

01:50:35.000 Ruth was a convert to Judaism.

01:50:40.000 Some of the greatest Jews who ever lived were converts to Judaism.

01:50:43.000 I don't know why he believes that, but I just want him to know he's more than welcome to become a Jew.

01:50:49.000 All right.

01:50:49.000 Flufferboy says, Wow, is that true?

01:50:51.000 That's crazy.

01:50:52.000 from Ferguson hands up don't shoot was a lie also our landfill is on fire and has

01:50:57.000 illegally buried nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project may you live in

01:51:01.000 interesting times wow is that true that's crazy all right so Lail cucumber

01:51:08.000 lot so lay cucumber lime says leftist signs is rooted in humiliation not truth

01:51:13.000 justice reason logic or morality I agree.

01:51:19.000 Alright.

01:51:22.000 Tubin's Task Manager says, Genesis 18, please read.

01:51:28.000 Numbers from 50 to 10, not down to 1, just a minor correction.

01:51:31.000 I just wanted to have it correct for the future.

01:51:34.000 Oh, was there a- I thought you said 10.

01:51:35.000 I don't think you said 1.

01:51:38.000 Yeah, the argument, by the way, it's a very important thing for people to understand.

01:51:42.000 I think you'll find this fascinating.

01:51:45.000 The name for the Jewish people in the Bible is Israel.

01:51:48.000 Israel means, and it's in Hebrew, and it's said so in the Bible, the name Israel means struggle with God, fight with God.

01:51:55.000 And it began with the first Jew, Abraham, fighting with God over Sodom and Gomorrah. 0.79

01:52:00.000 So I, to the great credit of the biggest atheist group in America, about 15 years ago they invited me to debate their head about God's existence.

01:52:09.000 I think it's Atheists United, but I'm not sure if that was the group.

01:52:12.000 Anyway, the biggest atheist group, to their credit, invited me to debate.

01:52:17.000 And it was a wonderful debate.

01:52:18.000 I looked at the audience, all of whom were atheists, and I said, raise your hand if you ever doubt your atheism.

01:52:27.000 Like, you see a baby born and you go, wow, maybe there really is a God.

01:52:30.000 It's like a miracle.

01:52:32.000 Not one hand went up.

01:52:33.000 And then I looked at them and I said, whenever I speak to religious groups and I say, raise your hand if you have ever doubted God, every hand goes up.

01:52:44.000 You think we're the ones who don't struggle and don't doubt and don't question.

01:52:51.000 You're the ones who don't doubt and don't struggle and don't question.

01:52:54.000 Projection.

01:52:56.000 All right.

01:52:56.000 Satan's Reject says, Tim, I just listened to Will of the People by Muse, and I must say it's terrible.

01:53:02.000 Will of the People by Timcast for life.

01:53:04.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:06.000 So I wrote a song and published it called Will of the People just before the election in 2020.

01:53:11.000 And it's part of a bigger project we're doing.

01:53:14.000 So we're planning on having an album out probably in August.

01:53:16.000 We got a billboard in Times Square for the song now showing the art.

01:53:19.000 It's a really great depiction.

01:53:21.000 And we're doing a big ad push because we're going to be releasing the Will of the People album.

01:53:25.000 Muse also released a very similar concept with a similar color scheme and theme of people wearing masks and pulling down statues.

01:53:32.000 and i was like wow that's really a whole lot like what we did and you know but uh it is what it is i suppose so if you want check out will of the people on youtube the song that we published we've got a couple songs uh we've got a whole bunch of songs that are like nearly done and we might have maybe even 10 songs by august for a full album we'll see We might just do an EP, but that's coming out and we're gonna do a big ad thing.

01:53:53.000 And Will of the People by TimCast showing people in masks pulling down statues is in Times Square right now.

01:53:59.000 I gotta shout out Chicken City, one of the TimCast channels where the chickens hang out.

01:54:03.000 I heard him singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm.

01:54:05.000 The rooster!

01:54:09.000 Literally.

01:54:10.000 Over and over.

01:54:10.000 I clipped it.

01:54:11.000 It's on my Twitter.

01:54:12.000 Go listen to it.

01:54:13.000 I'm thinking a farmer heard a rooster sing it and was like, I'm making that into a song.

01:54:17.000 No.

01:54:19.000 You know, they did the EIL part.

01:54:20.000 Ian, are you speaking to chickens again?

01:54:21.000 Dude, watch my Twitter.

01:54:22.000 It is mind-blowing.

01:54:23.000 He did it like eight times.

01:54:24.000 He did it a couple days ago too.

01:54:26.000 It's one of the new roosters.

01:54:27.000 By the way, you did that well.

01:54:28.000 I'm not joking.

01:54:29.000 And I went flat on the last note.

01:54:31.000 He doesn't go flat.

01:54:34.000 Alright, alright, let's read some more.

01:54:36.000 By the way, so you have a billboard up at Times Square?

01:54:40.000 Yeah, we have two.

01:54:41.000 And you're one of the figures on it?

01:54:44.000 Yes, I'm on two of them.

01:54:45.000 What do your parents think?

01:54:48.000 I guess they're happy?

01:54:50.000 You're not sure?

01:54:51.000 I'm assuming they're happy.

01:54:52.000 I don't know.

01:54:53.000 I was just curious.

01:54:54.000 Do your parents share your views?

01:54:59.000 I don't know.

01:55:01.000 I think my mom does.

01:55:03.000 Yeah.

01:55:04.000 Just curious.

01:55:06.000 Interesting family.

01:55:07.000 My dad was more conservative.

01:55:08.000 My mom was more liberal growing up. 1.00

01:55:10.000 I think my dad voted for Bush.

01:55:12.000 My mom voted for Gore. 0.99

01:55:13.000 Something like that.

01:55:14.000 I think they both voted for Ross Perot, though, in the 90s.

01:55:16.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:55:18.000 Yeah.

01:55:19.000 Although, you know, I don't know.

01:55:21.000 I don't know.

01:55:22.000 I don't know entirely because I don't talk enough about it.

01:55:25.000 But I'm pretty sure my mom, I sent her like, hey, look, the billboard's up.

01:55:28.000 And she was like, great.

01:55:29.000 She sends me like a heart emoji or something.

01:55:32.000 I don't know.

01:55:32.000 What did your mom say, Luke?

01:55:34.000 Luke's up there.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, she was pretty happy.

01:55:36.000 She was like, this is cool.

01:55:38.000 She was proud.

01:55:39.000 Where do they live?

01:55:41.000 I don't want to release that for security reasons.

01:55:44.000 They don't live in New York, I take it.

01:55:47.000 Maybe.

01:55:49.000 Fair enough.

01:55:51.000 You know, we also got billboards that just me on it in Chicago, and we're looking at doing a bunch of other ad runs.

01:55:59.000 So I want to put up a PragerU billboard.

01:56:01.000 In this case, not about me, but you know all these, God loves you, God loves you, God loves you.

01:56:08.000 I don't think that that's a critical message.

01:56:10.000 Maybe to some it is, and I honor that.

01:56:13.000 I would love to put up some billboards and see what happens.

01:56:16.000 God judges you.

01:56:19.000 Yeah, it does.

01:56:20.000 Huh?

01:56:21.000 It does judge you.

01:56:22.000 That's part of the guilt that people are feeling and the insanity that they feel when they're not connected to it.

01:56:26.000 Because it's telling you what to do.

01:56:28.000 You know what you're supposed to do.

01:56:29.000 Right.

01:56:30.000 I can't think of one message that would tick more people off than God judges you.

01:56:36.000 Let's read some more here.

01:56:36.000 We got Vetkan who says, I heard a story about the origin of Polish jokes.

01:56:40.000 When they were forced to manufacture weapons for the Germans, they made them faulty on purpose but played it off so the Germans just thought they were dumb. 0.96

01:56:46.000 Big fan, Dennis. 0.98

01:56:48.000 Interesting.

01:56:48.000 Thank you.

01:56:49.000 Let's see.

01:56:51.000 Charbizard says, Yo, Tim, former Louisiana fry cook here.

01:56:55.000 Let's open up Tim Kass Tenders together.

01:56:57.000 I got confidence in my frying skills.

01:56:59.000 You won't be disappointed.

01:57:00.000 I don't know if we're actually going to open a Tim fillet thing.

01:57:03.000 You know, if you do make sure you fry the French fries in fresh oil and not the oil that's recycled from the chicken, because that can make some kind of flop.

01:57:09.000 Well, you know, don't use any kind of vegetable or seed oils at all.

01:57:13.000 Lard.

01:57:14.000 We used to use lard and natural butter lard.

01:57:16.000 May I just say in that regard, I believe this.

01:57:18.000 My 14-year-old son has been watching the PragerU 5-minute episodes during his summer break.

01:57:22.000 He is learning so much.

01:57:23.000 He is going into high school, and he definitely will have an advantage.

01:57:27.000 May I just say in that regard, I believe this.

01:57:30.000 I would happily be placed on a lie detector.

01:57:34.000 If your child, except for STEM, science, technology, engineering, math, watched the 500 5-minute

01:57:40.000 videos at PragerU, they would learn far, far more than at Princeton or any other college

01:57:46.000 in this country.

01:57:49.000 Alright, NotMyRegret says, I see your take regarding monotheistic religions, just Christianity, and the belief in a singular God being our creator and determinator of the afterlife, but what is your view on religions like Buddhism, where there is a belief in the cycle of reincarnation and karma?

01:58:08.000 I have great respect for Buddhism.

01:58:11.000 There was a Buddhist theory that was told to me by my Buddhist professor in England that changed my life about all suffering coming from expectations that are not fulfilled.

01:58:21.000 And in my book on happiness I have a whole chapter on not having expectations and I give Buddhism credit.

01:58:28.000 However, obviously Buddhism doesn't have a transcendental God.

01:58:32.000 A transcendent God, I think that's an issue.

01:58:35.000 And they do make peace with suffering more than I think people should.

01:58:46.000 All right.

01:58:47.000 Dstuff says, Mr. Prager, what is your view of Calvinism and predestination?

01:58:52.000 And all human actions were predestined by God to occur, including sin and salvation.

01:58:56.000 And there's nothing we can do to change it.

01:58:58.000 Big fan of you and Timcast.

01:58:59.000 Great mashup.

01:59:00.000 God bless.

01:59:02.000 I believe in free will, and that would seem to undermine the belief that there's free will.

01:59:06.000 Why could God punish us if he ordained what we would do?

01:59:10.000 What do you think about Calvinism, though?

01:59:12.000 Well, that's it.

01:59:12.000 That's predestination.

01:59:13.000 A lot of people are better than their theologies, and a lot of people are worse than their theologies.

01:59:23.000 In this case, I would say that Calvinists are better than their theologies.

01:59:27.000 I've been thinking lately that it's both free will and determinism, depending on your state of mind.

01:59:31.000 If you choose to live in a flow state, that you're functioning with free will, but if you just kind of fall into it, you just are along for the ride.

01:59:39.000 Well, right now, the biggest underminer of free will is the left.

01:59:43.000 Oh, this guy, he committed a crime because of racism and sexism or poverty.

01:59:52.000 People are not responsible for the bad that they do, except for white, Christian, straight males. 0.79

01:59:56.000 They're responsible for all problems.

01:59:59.000 But everybody else is not responsible.

02:00:01.000 The great underminer of free will is the left.

02:00:05.000 Jellycat says, Dennis, I've been following you for years, as long as I've followed Tim.

02:00:09.000 Tell this room of largely unmarried, without children to start practicing what you preach. 0.99

02:00:13.000 They'll be more credible.

02:00:15.000 I did.

02:00:15.000 I made a strong case for getting married, guys and lady.

02:00:19.000 I did.

02:00:20.000 She's married.

02:00:21.000 Oh, OK.

02:00:22.000 Oh.

02:00:24.000 OK.

02:00:25.000 So you have to keep telling them.

02:00:27.000 I'm trying.

02:00:31.000 All right, what do we got?

02:00:32.000 Steven Hartman says nuclear power powers one-fifth of homes in the U.S.

02:00:36.000 We produce very little U-308 and UF6 enriched U-308.

02:00:41.000 We source huge amounts from Russia currently who produces 40% of the world's enriched uranium.

02:00:45.000 Why are we not using this carbon-free energy?

02:00:48.000 Shout out to Sput.

02:00:51.000 It's by control.

02:00:52.000 That was the argument that we offered.

02:00:54.000 Why is there nuclear power would be a rare example of left and right agreeing on something.

02:01:03.000 What if we just had, like, little nuclear reactors in our basement, and every house had its own power?

02:01:08.000 Like nuclear glass?

02:01:10.000 It would be very little.

02:01:11.000 Because nuclear reactors are not gigantic.

02:01:14.000 Look at how much they power.

02:01:15.000 Yeah.

02:01:16.000 You'd have this tiny little thing boiling water or something and then spinning a turbine.

02:01:20.000 It's like, oh, you gotta pour water back in the tank.

02:01:23.000 Keep it going.

02:01:24.000 I read a story once of a scuba diver who got sucked into an intake valve into a nuclear plant.

02:01:28.000 Totally fine.

02:01:29.000 Because the radiation doesn't permeate the water.

02:01:31.000 So they were just swimming and they'd be rescued.

02:01:33.000 Oh, that's fascinating.

02:01:34.000 People think they're extremely dangerous, I'll tell you, with, like, Fukushima.

02:01:38.000 Nobody died.

02:01:40.000 Not from radiation, anyway.

02:01:41.000 Well, they got a big spill, it's bad.

02:01:43.000 But that's a natural disaster that no one planned for.

02:01:46.000 Right, well, it was an older reactor, and it was a tsunami on the coast.

02:01:51.000 I mean, it's the worst part.

02:01:52.000 It's an earthquake.

02:01:53.000 There's nothing to be learned from it.

02:01:55.000 It's very safe nuclear power.

02:01:57.000 Well, the modern technologies and developments have become much, much better.

02:02:01.000 Right.

02:02:03.000 All right.

02:02:04.000 Wimplow says, Mr. Prager, will you read something from the Yellow Pages?

02:02:08.000 I think they're saying they like the sound of your voice.

02:02:10.000 Oh, that's funny.

02:02:12.000 Do you guys even know what the Yellow Pages is?

02:02:14.000 Oh, yeah.

02:02:14.000 Of course.

02:02:15.000 We're not that young.

02:02:16.000 I'm born in 79.

02:02:17.000 I had the 80s.

02:02:19.000 Oh, that old.

02:02:20.000 Hot action, yeah.

02:02:21.000 We had Yellow Pages growing up.

02:02:22.000 I used to memorize phone numbers.

02:02:24.000 You want to hear my Yellow Pages story?

02:02:26.000 Do we have a minute?

02:02:27.000 Yeah.

02:02:27.000 This is priceless.

02:02:31.000 Nobody in my family knew how to play an instrument or could read music.

02:02:35.000 I refused to do homework.

02:02:37.000 My mother and father sit me down in the kitchen.

02:02:39.000 I'm in eighth grade.

02:02:40.000 And they go, so what are you going to do?

02:02:42.000 We don't let you watch more than an hour of television.

02:02:45.000 You won't do any homework.

02:02:46.000 What are you going to do the rest of the time?

02:02:48.000 So one of us said, I don't remember, maybe I'll study a musical instrument.

02:02:52.000 They said, great.

02:02:53.000 All right, which one?

02:02:54.000 I didn't even know names of musical instruments.

02:02:57.000 So my mother says, all right, let's look in the yellow pages.

02:03:01.000 Number one, accordion.

02:03:03.000 That's how I learned the accordion.

02:03:04.000 There you go.

02:03:06.000 All right, everybody.

02:03:07.000 Top billing.

02:03:07.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show, and head over to TimCast.com.

02:03:14.000 If you sign up there, at about 11 p.m.

02:03:15.000 we're gonna be publishing the Members Only After Hours show.

02:03:18.000 We'll talk a bit more about these issues that were getting a little spicy, so we'll have that up for you.

02:03:21.000 You can follow the show at TimCast IRL.

02:03:24.000 Follow us on Instagram, we post clips every day.

02:03:26.000 You can follow me at TimCast.

02:03:27.000 And if you haven't, Search for Will of the People by Timcast on YouTube and check out the song we did, because I know a lot of people haven't actually heard it.

02:03:34.000 But it's actually a short film, and it's a political statement, so you might find it very interesting if you pay attention to it.

02:03:39.000 Check that out.

02:03:40.000 We got more music on the way, and we're actually going to be producing a few music videos for the album release, which will be in mid to late August.

02:03:47.000 Dennis, do you want to shout anything out?

02:03:50.000 Yes, thank you for the opportunity.

02:03:51.000 So, I do a weekly fireside chat for PragerU, and I think your listeners would love it.

02:03:59.000 I do a weekly podcast with this young woman, Julie.

02:04:03.000 It's called Dennis and Julie.

02:04:04.000 It's easily found.

02:04:06.000 And, of course, there's all the work that PragerU is putting out.

02:04:10.000 We're trying to make the case for, as corny as it sounds, truth and goodness in a very sophisticated way.

02:04:20.000 What about your books?

02:04:20.000 Where can they get those?

02:04:22.000 Well, that's easily found on Amazon.

02:04:23.000 Any of my books.

02:04:25.000 I have a book that explains America on the left.

02:04:28.000 It's called Still the Best Hope.

02:04:29.000 I have a book on happiness.

02:04:31.000 And I have three volumes of my Bible commentary.

02:04:34.000 Two more to go.

02:04:36.000 By the way, this is my claim to fame.

02:04:38.000 Well, not my only, but a big one.

02:04:41.000 Costco has ordered 25,000 copies of my next volume, Deuteronomy.

02:04:46.000 And as I always say, and it's not meant to belittle Costco, I don't know if anyone at Costco can spell Deuteronomy.

02:04:53.000 So the fact that they ordered it... I don't think I can.

02:04:55.000 Yeah, no, exactly.

02:04:57.000 I don't think many Americans can.

02:04:58.000 It's the fifth of the five first five books of my commentary.

02:05:02.000 Anyway, it's meant to change people's lives for the better.

02:05:06.000 Cool.

02:05:06.000 Hillary Clinton is pretty popular at Costco from the last that I've seen.

02:05:10.000 Is that true?

02:05:11.000 Yes, yes.

02:05:12.000 She was doing a book signing at Costco, and that's the latest video that we saw from her.

02:05:16.000 But I have a YouTube channel.

02:05:18.000 It's YouTube.com forward slash WeAreChange.

02:05:20.000 I just did a very interesting video on the billionaire fight between Bill Gates and Elon Musk.

02:05:26.000 That perspective and what's really happening and population control, all of that is being discussed on YouTube.com forward slash WeAreChange.

02:05:32.000 Hope to join you there for the conversation after this.

02:05:34.000 I had a bit of a crisis while we were talking earlier about Jesus because the guy basically was a Jew and a devout Jew and spoke a lot about Judaism, but now the people that worship the guy aren't... Well, then, duh, you would be Jew. 0.83

02:05:48.000 You would also be like him, like a Jew. 1.00

02:05:49.000 Like, why? 0.93

02:05:50.000 What the hell is going on?

02:05:52.000 Let's save that for the members-only show.

02:05:54.000 That's a big question.

02:05:55.000 I love you guys.

02:05:56.000 We'll see you there.

02:05:57.000 I'm so fascinated to have Dennis Prager here this evening because I have been eyeballing his Rational Bible, and we've been going.

02:06:02.000 We went to a Quaker meeting, we go to a Baptist church sometimes, we go to a Presbyterian church sometimes, and we've been bringing our co-workers with us.

02:06:08.000 It's been great.

02:06:09.000 It's really been an adventure since I've gotten married, so we are really excited to buy the Rational Bible.

02:06:14.000 I'm really thrilled that Deuteronomy is coming out because that is a book that is deeply misunderstood by modern people.

02:06:19.000 Oh, God is so judgmental.

02:06:20.000 How could he possibly make all these rules?

02:06:22.000 How could he say all these horrible violent things?

02:06:24.000 The God of the Old Testament is so clearly different from the God of the New Testament, so I'm really looking forward to that coming out. 0.97

02:06:28.000 Thank you.

02:06:29.000 Good.

02:06:29.000 When is that due?

02:06:31.000 October.

02:06:32.000 Awesome.

02:06:32.000 Very cool.

02:06:33.000 OK, we're going to get all those lined up.

02:06:34.000 Anyway, I am Sour Patch Lids.

02:06:35.000 It can be pre-ordered.

02:06:36.000 Oh, cool.

02:06:37.000 I'm going to do that then, right after we're done here.

02:06:39.000 And I also asked Julie to come on the show with us, or told her to hit me up and see if we can get her involved, talking to us, your co-host. 0.92

02:06:45.000 Anyway, I am Sour Patch Lids.

02:06:47.000 You can follow me there on Twitter and Minds.com, as well as SourPatchLids.me.

02:06:52.000 We will see all of you over at timcast.com, but if you want to help us out and you're interested in the cultural stuff we're developing, check out youtube.com slash castcastle.

02:06:59.000 The last two episodes, we're leaning heavily into the scripted production we're doing on the vlog.

02:07:06.000 This was always the goal, to get to the point where we're basically trying to create like a comedy version of what we do here.

02:07:12.000 And so we had Jamie Kilstein, who's hilarious, we had him on the show a couple times, And he's going to be helping with producing and writing sketches and doing jokes at the Cast Castle because we want to build culture.

02:07:22.000 And also, again, Search for Will of the People by TimCast.

02:07:25.000 It's a short film about four minutes long and a song that I wrote that is very, very politically minded.
