[01:28.160 --> 01:38.640] In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's The David Knight Show.
[01:45.040 --> 01:51.280] As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 21st of January, year of our Lord, 2026.
[01:52.080 --> 01:54.640] Well, today we're going to look at competing gangs.
[01:55.760 --> 01:58.720] Yeah, there's some really bad guys out there in the streets,
[01:58.720 --> 02:01.520] and we sent some other people out to take them out.
[02:02.480 --> 02:05.920] But unfortunately, they're starting to act like gang members themselves.
[02:05.920 --> 02:10.480] And so the question is, how do we protect ourselves?
[02:10.480 --> 02:14.640] Those of us who got in the middle, gangs on the left of us, gangs on the right,
[02:14.640 --> 02:18.000] I'm stuck in the middle with you. And which one is more dangerous?
[02:18.960 --> 02:24.320] How do we fight back against this? And more importantly, we're going to go back and take
[02:24.320 --> 02:28.320] a look at how our culture got into the situation that it's in right now.
[02:28.320 --> 02:32.640] What is happening to our families, our children, the relationship between men and women,
[02:33.280 --> 02:37.760] and what is about to make it get a lot worse? I mean, there's going to be a lot of gasoline
[02:38.480 --> 02:42.240] poured on this. AI is going to be the thing that's going to do it.
[02:42.240 --> 02:49.200] How did we get to this situation? If we understand how we got here, then maybe
[02:49.920 --> 02:55.920] all of the intentional distractions, chaos, and conflict that are being created by Donald Trump
[02:55.920 --> 03:03.040] and the news media, maybe we can transcend that. Maybe we can escape their gravitational pull.
[03:04.000 --> 03:04.720] We'll be right back.
[03:04.720 --> 03:19.200] Well, again, when I look at what just happened to another interesting case of a grandfather,
[03:19.200 --> 03:25.920] 56 years old, an American citizen. He's a foreigner who came here and became a citizen
[03:25.920 --> 03:32.080] about 35 years ago. He's never had any criminal convictions. And you look at the way that he was
[03:32.080 --> 03:39.840] singled out and treated, and it truly is amazing. And it's something that we have to pay attention to.
[03:41.680 --> 03:46.560] We all agree that rapists and murderers ought to be taken off the street.
[03:47.200 --> 03:52.480] And I think many of us agree that illegal aliens who come here need to be deported as well.
[03:53.840 --> 03:56.320] But it makes a difference how it's done, doesn't it?
[03:57.280 --> 04:01.920] Doesn't it make things a lot more dangerous? I mean, every time you talk about one of these
[04:01.920 --> 04:08.400] types of issues, the abuse of power by ICE, by the Trump administration, whenever you talk about that,
[04:09.040 --> 04:14.240] oh, what about this? You know, look, we had this person over here who, in a lot of cases,
[04:14.240 --> 04:18.800] it wasn't even somebody who was political or trying to be provocative that got attacked.
[04:19.440 --> 04:25.760] We just had an incident of a family that was in a car in Minnesota. They thought these
[04:25.760 --> 04:29.440] protesters thought they looked conservative. They didn't know anything about them.
[04:30.000 --> 04:34.000] So they went over and they attacked their car and the people in it.
[04:36.240 --> 04:42.400] Is that different than what we're seeing from ICE? Actually, no. They had another incident. We had
[04:42.400 --> 04:49.680] a group of four engineers during their lunch break. They go to a restaurant, and one of them
[04:49.760 --> 04:57.680] is anti-ICE, and he's on a list on his phone that lets him know when the ICE agents are doing
[04:57.680 --> 05:03.600] something and so forth. Others were in favor of what ICE was doing, and so they were all over
[05:03.600 --> 05:08.000] the place in terms of politics, but they're eating together, and they're having a lunch break. And
[05:08.000 --> 05:14.880] the one guy who is on the list of leftists, he said, wait a minute, he said, they've identified
[05:14.880 --> 05:18.320] us as being ICE, you know, because they said there's four guys, they're dressed like this,
[05:18.320 --> 05:21.520] and they're at such-and-such a restaurant. He kind of looks around and goes, oh, they're talking
[05:21.520 --> 05:29.280] about us. And they thought that they were plainclothes ICE, because again, ICE is not
[05:29.280 --> 05:35.680] following any of the rules that they have for cops. They're not wearing uniforms in many cases.
[05:35.680 --> 05:40.160] They're covering their faces. Now, these guys are not wearing masks, of course. Those days are
[05:40.160 --> 05:49.200] hopefully behind us. Who knows? They put masks on us five years ago, six years ago now, and
[05:50.640 --> 05:56.400] now they want to put masks on themselves to hide what they're doing. Anyway, we have these types
[05:56.400 --> 06:01.920] of things happening, and so the left is just as bad, except they're not quite as dangerous,
[06:02.880 --> 06:09.680] because they don't have the legal authority to kill you if you disobey their orders, right?
[06:09.680 --> 06:14.560] I mean, they know there's going to be some consequences for them. The problem is that ICE
[06:14.560 --> 06:20.160] knows that there will be no consequences for them. As JD Vance said, they have absolute immunity,
[06:20.160 --> 06:22.800] and we've seen this over and over again. We're going to shut down the investigation. We're not
[06:22.800 --> 06:26.640] even going to have an investigation, and we're not going to allow you to have an investigation
[06:26.640 --> 06:33.760] as state or local into this shooting of Renee Good. That's an admission, folks. I've seen this
[06:33.760 --> 06:39.600] over and over again. When they hide their data about climate change, when they hide their virology
[06:39.600 --> 06:45.200] data, when they don't do the studies, when they come after you because you showed the data,
[06:45.200 --> 06:50.400] they decide they're going to hide you. I've seen this over and over again. The people who seek
[06:50.400 --> 06:55.840] to suppress information are usually doing it, because, well, I don't say usually. I say,
[06:55.840 --> 07:01.600] I have always seen it done, because they're doing something criminal that they need to hide.
[07:01.600 --> 07:10.720] So let's look at the particulars of this particular case here. Again, I think the solution to this
[07:11.520 --> 07:20.800] is not going door to door. We've got government officials in Minnesota as well as in Washington
[07:20.800 --> 07:26.400] State who have declared they are sanctuary cities, and they're actually coming against a sheriff
[07:27.280 --> 07:30.240] in Washington State who wants to enforce the immigration laws.
[07:31.200 --> 07:35.840] He would do it with search warrants and things like that, knowing who he's going after. That
[07:35.840 --> 07:41.760] would be a big advantage, wouldn't it? If you're going to be law enforcement, how much like a
[07:41.760 --> 07:46.960] Keystone cop do you have to be to not know who you're going after? That's what we see in this
[07:46.960 --> 07:55.200] particular case. But the rot is coming from above. On the left, the rot is coming from governors
[07:55.920 --> 08:01.840] and attorneys general, who decide that they don't like immigration law. They're going to
[08:01.840 --> 08:05.760] thumb their nose at immigration law, and there's no authority for them to do that.
[08:06.800 --> 08:13.120] Immigration law is a power that has been delegated by the states to the federal government.
[08:13.840 --> 08:21.040] Now, if it was something like gun control, for example, we had a leftist or even Trump
[08:21.120 --> 08:25.440] who decides he's going to do gun control, and he's going to do it by executive order,
[08:27.280 --> 08:31.200] or however they do it. If they do it with a Supreme Court decision or if they do it with a
[08:31.200 --> 08:37.280] congressional act, it would still be a violation of the law. And of course, that is happening
[08:37.280 --> 08:42.560] all the time. The very existence of the ATF is a violation of the Constitution,
[08:42.560 --> 08:48.000] just like the existence of the Federal Reserve. But let's say that they've got some new rule that
[08:48.000 --> 08:52.800] they're coming out with, and local law enforcement does not have to comply with that.
[08:52.800 --> 08:59.120] As a matter of fact, they should stand there as the lesser magistrate, as Matt Trujillo always
[08:59.120 --> 09:06.800] talks about in his book. They should stand and interpose and nullify these laws that are against
[09:06.800 --> 09:11.360] the Constitution that gives them their authority, because they swore to uphold it. But when it comes
[09:11.360 --> 09:17.520] to immigration law, there is authority for immigration, there is authority for ICE to exist
[09:17.520 --> 09:23.280] or something like it. Unfortunately, these so-called law enforcement officers now believe
[09:23.280 --> 09:30.080] that they are not subject to the law. And that's a much more serious circumstance than somebody
[09:30.080 --> 09:37.760] coming across the border, folks. Much more serious. And because of the potential for abuse.
[09:37.760 --> 09:44.400] And so the reality is that they need to start at the top and work their way down. If you're going
[09:44.400 --> 09:52.000] to have governors and attorneys general that are going to defy the Constitution, and if they are
[09:52.000 --> 09:57.840] going to say, and you're not going to investigate these fraudulent daycare centers, if they're going
[09:57.840 --> 10:05.440] to stand in the gap, if they're going to aid and abet criminal fraud, which again, even involves
[10:05.440 --> 10:12.000] federal money, they should be prosecuted. They should, and this is not something we send out
[10:12.560 --> 10:20.560] an army of armed and armored thugs to go get in people's faces and start pushing and shoving
[10:20.560 --> 10:27.440] and shooting. This is going around with auditors and lawyers and doing it with due process. This
[10:27.440 --> 10:31.440] is what needs to happen. This needs to happen in an orderly way. Trump doesn't want to do this
[10:31.440 --> 10:38.560] because his model is to have professional wrestling conflict and chaos. That is his
[10:38.560 --> 10:44.320] M.O. That is his calling card. That is how he gets attention. And so he deliberately wants
[10:44.320 --> 10:50.560] this kind of conflict at the lower level, when actually we'd all be better served if you do it
[10:50.560 --> 10:55.920] at the top level. So the problems are on both sides at the top level. The problem is with the
[10:55.920 --> 11:02.400] Trump administration and the in-your-face confrontational chaos that they desire to have
[11:03.360 --> 11:10.000] and the at the top of the left in terms of state and local government, the fact that they want to
[11:10.000 --> 11:16.800] completely flood our country and take it down, cloward and pivots style, those are the issues.
[11:17.600 --> 11:21.920] But they want us fighting with each other. They won't fight with each other. They won't fight. The
[11:21.920 --> 11:28.560] guys at the top won't fight with each other. They want us fighting with each other. And so sanctuary
[11:28.720 --> 11:32.960] cities and states are violating the law and you should start with them
[11:34.560 --> 11:39.920] rather than the people that walk across the border. For example, are you in Texas and are
[11:39.920 --> 11:44.480] you tired of not being able to play blackjack roulette and even craps? Well, guess what? I got

[12:39.440 --> 12:44.320] So the image that we have here, I'll just pull this up. Oh, that's the wrong one. Sorry. This
[12:44.320 --> 12:52.640] one right here. This is a 56 year old man. They had about 10 to 15 ICE agents who break in the door,
[12:52.640 --> 12:58.800] you know, drug raid style. And actually, I've talked so many times about Brazil.
[12:59.920 --> 13:09.680] And Brazil begins with this over the top raid of militarized, armored up police,
[13:09.680 --> 13:13.120] kicking in the door, coming through the ceiling, the windows, and everything else
[13:13.120 --> 13:20.160] after this one guy. And it's a case of mistaken identity. And that is how the that's the thread
[13:20.160 --> 13:27.120] that runs through the entire story. They got the wrong guy. And yet we have seen, even though
[13:27.920 --> 13:34.240] when Terry Gilliam did that in 1984, it was so over the top. It was like, whoa, you know,
[13:34.240 --> 13:40.480] this is satire, right? Taking it to the extreme. And yet that's what it is in reality now.
[13:41.520 --> 13:47.360] There is no over the top satire. This is our reality. So 10 to 15 agents break in.
[13:48.240 --> 13:54.080] And you got this guy, he's 56 years old. And his grandson is their five year old grandson,
[13:54.640 --> 14:00.000] terrorize the family. I mean, this is straight out of Brazil. The very beginning of Brazil.
[14:06.000 --> 14:09.040] I heard something. I didn't see anything. Did that go out? Did the visuals go out?
[14:09.840 --> 14:12.640] Anyway, Travis was trying to play it. Thanks, Travis.
[14:13.520 --> 14:19.280] The terrorize everybody. They drag this guy out in 10 degree weather.
[14:20.400 --> 14:28.960] And he's wearing shorts and Crocs. That's it. No shirt. Not even long pants. No socks, nothing.
[14:28.960 --> 14:34.800] Crocs and shorts. He grabs the blanket that his five year old son was on as they're going out
[14:35.360 --> 14:41.360] and wraps himself in that. The ICE agents, I won't even call them law enforcement or cops.
[14:41.360 --> 14:48.480] They don't deserve that title. They're beneath that. These guys drag him out, put him in the car.
[14:48.480 --> 14:54.080] They drive around for an hour with him in the car. The family doesn't know where he is after they
[14:54.080 --> 14:59.360] have fingerprinted him and now done some investigation. You know, you take the grandfather
[14:59.360 --> 15:05.840] and you do the due process later, says Trump, right? At first, that was just about firearms.
[15:05.840 --> 15:11.360] Now it's about grandpas. You seize the grandpa first, you do the due process later.
[15:12.640 --> 15:17.840] And so they grab him after they do the due process. They realize this guy has never done
[15:17.840 --> 15:23.840] anything wrong in America. He hasn't violated anything. And he's here legally. These are people
[15:23.840 --> 15:28.800] from Laos, the Hamong group, if I'm saying it correctly. I don't know if I pronounced that
[15:28.800 --> 15:36.160] right. It's H-M-O-N-G. I'll say Hamong. A lot of them came over from Laos because there was
[15:37.760 --> 15:42.240] civil war there, war that the U.S. got involved with at the time of Vietnam.
[15:42.800 --> 15:52.240] And yeah, this is the visuals that he's putting up. This is Brazil, Terry Gilliam's satire of 1984,
[15:52.240 --> 15:59.520] except who now live in this satire. So these guys, 10 to 15 of them, automatic weapons,
[15:59.520 --> 16:04.400] pointed at people, fully armored, come in, terrorize the family. This just happened.
[16:05.280 --> 16:12.400] And it was ICE who did it. And then they drag the guy out without any clothes on
[16:12.400 --> 16:17.040] into the 10 degree weather. Driving around for an hour after they've done the due process,
[16:17.600 --> 16:23.200] they realize they don't have a criminal here. And they bring him back and drop him off
[16:23.200 --> 16:29.280] as if nothing ever happened. No apology, right? And I'm surprised that they didn't take him in
[16:29.280 --> 16:36.400] and charge him for the interrogation, which is what they did in Brazil. But then they put out
[16:36.400 --> 16:42.640] a cover story because this is filmed by a relative who was very angry about this and put it out.
[16:42.640 --> 16:46.800] And as some people pointed out, it could have been worse. You know, we've had people who have
[16:46.800 --> 16:52.720] been abducted who were not illegal immigrants, people who are not criminals, and they were
[16:52.720 --> 16:58.960] disappeared. And they don't know where they went. Some people whose crime was to come here illegally,
[16:58.960 --> 17:03.600] which is a misdemeanor. And again, I think the real solution, first of all,
[17:03.600 --> 17:09.040] you stop the welfare magnet. You don't pay welfare payments to anybody that comes here,
[17:09.680 --> 17:14.160] even if they come here as a legal immigrant, certainly not to illegal immigrants.
[17:14.960 --> 17:18.240] And every other country have to show that you can support yourself and your family
[17:18.800 --> 17:23.840] before you become a citizen. So make that a rule for legal immigrants and that
[17:23.840 --> 17:28.080] illegal immigrants don't get a dime. That would do a lot to stop this.
[17:29.280 --> 17:32.320] And then, of course, if people are committing crimes, you actually punish them rather than
[17:32.320 --> 17:37.360] turning them back out on the street in a catch and release program. You know, you see these
[17:38.160 --> 17:43.520] people that they put up and they say, well, this person has been arrested for five different rapes
[17:43.520 --> 17:49.200] and they were released each time, right? What does it matter with our justice system?
[17:49.200 --> 17:55.440] So fix the justice system. Go after these governors and these state attorneys general
[17:55.440 --> 18:02.080] who are defying federal law that has been delegated to the federal government constitutionally.
[18:03.120 --> 18:07.120] Go after those people first, instead of the innocent people that are out there. But they
[18:07.120 --> 18:12.720] have taken people away and relatives can't find out where they went. Even if they're
[18:12.720 --> 18:17.760] illegal immigrants, they won't tell them what country they sent them to or if they're in a
[18:17.760 --> 18:23.040] prison somewhere. Just nothing. They just disappear people. And you've actually got
[18:23.600 --> 18:29.520] people on the right now who are cheering the kind of governments that have done that
[18:30.240 --> 18:37.680] in South America, like in Argentina and Pinochet's Chile. You know, they actually
[18:37.680 --> 18:40.800] got people. Well, let's put them on a helicopter, take them out over the ocean, drop them.
[18:41.920 --> 18:49.360] Yeah, you be careful about that. That's going to come back around to you. So again, the neighbor
[18:49.360 --> 18:57.120] said, whatever you think this is, it's worse than you think. That's his detainment. Told me by phone
[18:57.120 --> 19:03.600] on Monday is what happened. They said 10 to 15 agents. And so they take him out, they finally,
[19:03.600 --> 19:09.520] they got the one guy, they bring him back. But then the lies began from Homeland Security.
[19:10.400 --> 19:18.880] So you had DHS Assistant Secretary Trisha McLaughlin, who was putting out a whole
[19:18.880 --> 19:22.960] series of lies about the shooting as well, said that
[19:26.000 --> 19:32.000] his arrest, the operation was targeting, quote, two convicted sex offenders.
[19:33.280 --> 19:40.560] See, were they named Donald and Jeffrey? Well, actually, one of the Donald doesn't have any
[19:40.560 --> 19:45.600] convictions for well, I guess you could say he does have sex offender convictions. We just had
[19:45.600 --> 19:52.880] somebody come out with allegations, a Iraqi veteran, a male has just come out with allegations
[19:52.880 --> 20:00.640] that he was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald Trump. And he alleges that Donald Trump
[20:00.640 --> 20:07.920] raped him homosexual. So we'll see what happens with that. Anyway, with final orders of removal
[20:07.920 --> 20:14.160] from an immigration judge, they were looking for two convicted sex offenders. And so Trisha McLaughlin
[20:14.160 --> 20:20.640] claimed without evidence that this guy lived with these two men and that he was detained because
[20:20.640 --> 20:27.840] quote, he matched the description of the targets. A few hours later, they posted photos and
[20:27.840 --> 20:34.320] information about the two Asian men that they were looking for. These were very young men. This guy
[20:34.320 --> 20:40.480] is a grandfather, he's 56 years old. He doesn't look anything like these guys. I mean, even if
[20:40.480 --> 20:46.640] you think all Asians look alike, right? There's an age difference. And of course, we had a lot
[20:46.640 --> 20:52.000] of Asian friends, they even joked about that. There was a website, all look same. And they were
[20:52.000 --> 20:56.480] laughing about it. They said, they put this up and they show pictures of Asian people and they
[20:56.480 --> 21:03.840] challenge you say, is this person Japanese, Chinese, Korean? What is this person? They said, we can't
[21:03.840 --> 21:11.120] tell, you know, we're Asian. So anyway, but there are other ways that law enforcement has
[21:11.120 --> 21:18.080] of identifying people. And the age difference was ludicrous. But they put up this person,
[21:18.080 --> 21:21.280] these people are the worst of the worst. And we were looking for them. And unfortunately,
[21:21.280 --> 21:26.560] we got this guy, but he lived with them. So he's kind of guilty by extension.
[21:27.200 --> 21:34.000] And that was their justification. They didn't attempt to explain or prove the men were connected
[21:34.000 --> 21:40.080] to him. And they both appear to be significantly younger than him. And so they reached out for
[21:40.080 --> 21:45.360] clarity. The person who's writing this piece said, but we didn't get any further feedback from that.
[21:45.360 --> 21:50.320] And why even under those circumstances, would you take a suspect? Remember, you know, when we're
[21:50.320 --> 21:56.960] talking about law enforcement, always in the past, police and law enforcement, always very,
[21:56.960 --> 22:04.480] very careful to call people suspects. You know, even when there was a room full of witnesses who
[22:04.480 --> 22:09.520] saw them pull the trigger and shoot somebody, and they've got it on videotape, they still call them
[22:09.520 --> 22:16.080] a suspect. We don't have that from ICE. We don't have that from Kristi Noem and Trisha McLaughlin.
[22:16.560 --> 22:21.360] We don't have that from Trump. And so then there was a family statement that disputed this.
[22:22.320 --> 22:29.280] The family said, no, Mr. Tao is his name, is a US citizen with no criminal record, said the family
[22:29.280 --> 22:37.280] statement. He does not live with nor has he ever lived with the individuals that DHS claims or
[22:37.280 --> 22:43.440] targets of this operation. The only people residing at the home are Mr. Tao, his son,
[22:43.440 --> 22:50.800] his daughter-in-law, and his young grandson. They do not know the individuals that DHS has referred
[22:50.800 --> 22:58.800] to. The family said no warrant was presented. Agents did not ask for Tao's ID, but they,
[22:58.800 --> 23:07.680] quote, nevertheless forcibly entered the home with weapons drawn, Brazil style. They may have
[23:07.680 --> 23:13.440] been looking for Tuttle, but they got Mr. Buttle, and the two don't know each other.
[23:14.400 --> 23:17.520] They said Tao and his family have lived in this home for two years.
[23:18.400 --> 23:24.400] Well, the narrative that we get isn't just coming from Trisha McLaughlin lying about this and saying,
[23:24.400 --> 23:29.120] yeah, we're going out there, we're arresting all these criminals, and so forth. It's also
[23:29.120 --> 23:36.480] coming from the top, just like the repudiation of immigration laws on the left is coming from the
[23:36.480 --> 23:44.960] top. Here's Trump trying to justify some of this stuff. People, vicious, many of them murderers.
[23:45.920 --> 23:51.680] These are all out of Minnesota, just Minnesota. I say, why don't you talk about that more?
[23:53.040 --> 23:55.520] Because people don't know. Do you want to live with these people?
[23:58.480 --> 24:00.800] I don't want to live with you, Trump.
[24:00.800 --> 24:04.960] Trump. These are people that are living.
[24:05.600 --> 24:10.400] You're a vicious murderer as well. And a sex offender.
[24:10.400 --> 24:13.920] From where they came, and the countries respect us, and so they actually put them there.
[24:14.960 --> 24:19.040] In the old days, they didn't respect our country. Biden wouldn't do this because
[24:20.160 --> 24:24.880] he let them all in. You know, if you didn't have open border policies of Biden, none of this,
[24:24.880 --> 24:29.600] all of the things that we, all of the time that we spend talking about Minnesota and everything
[24:29.600 --> 24:36.720] else, most of them are coming from out of the country. And it's been caused by
[24:38.160 --> 24:40.880] a previous administration. Look at this, one after one.
[24:42.560 --> 24:47.120] Yeah, well you get the idea. Okay. And of course, you want to talk about the government created
[24:47.120 --> 24:51.680] problem. That goes back to Trump's first administration. Remember, the key thing he was
[24:51.680 --> 24:57.600] going to do was build the wall. He didn't do it. You know, Steve Bannon got convicted for fraud
[24:58.560 --> 25:05.280] and justly so, I think, because he and other people did a private foundation to build the wall,
[25:05.840 --> 25:11.920] and then they filled an awful lot of money from it. But why did they do that? They did it because
[25:11.920 --> 25:17.200] Trump wasn't building the wall, and he could have built the wall, and he could have done something
[25:17.200 --> 25:22.000] to enforce immigration in his first term. Instead, after everybody figured everything dropped off
[25:22.000 --> 25:26.480] right away after he got elected, and it got very quiet in terms of border crossings, and then
[25:26.480 --> 25:34.000] anybody realized he's nothing but a paper tiger. All talk, no action. And then you had the caravans.
[25:34.000 --> 25:38.640] We'd never seen that before. The caravans. And how did he deal with that? He didn't know how to deal
[25:38.640 --> 25:44.160] with that either. So don't talk to me about a government created problem, a problem that's
[25:44.160 --> 25:51.200] been created by every Democrat and every Republican administration. They have let this problem fester
[25:51.280 --> 25:58.160] and grow. They give money to people who come here illegally. It's almost like a bribe to get people
[25:58.160 --> 26:03.120] to come here illegally, and that's bipartisan. That's both parties. They let this go on for
[26:03.120 --> 26:07.120] decades, and then they create a big problem, and then they come in and say, well, you know, the
[26:07.120 --> 26:13.280] only solution to this is to suspend the rule of law and have martial law militarized, federalized
[26:13.280 --> 26:18.720] police who are accountable to nobody, who don't have to do search warrants, who can violate every
[26:18.720 --> 26:25.280] aspect of due process. That's the solution we got for you. You see how they play this game, don't you?
[26:25.280 --> 26:30.960] It's disgusting. Are you in Texas, and are you tired of not being able to play blackjack, roulette,

[27:27.840 --> 27:33.760] And so this is what we're seeing there in Minnesota. Now we're also seeing in Minnesota
[27:34.480 --> 27:40.240] a lot of clips of people saying the military is everywhere. And so people are putting up on
[27:40.240 --> 27:47.440] social media all the movement of troops in Minnesota because Trump is ready getting preparing
[27:47.440 --> 27:52.640] to declare an insurrection act and use military force there because he wants confrontation.
[27:53.920 --> 28:00.000] You know we've had presidents who've used the military in the past to enforce civil rights
[28:00.000 --> 28:06.000] stuff but they did it in a way to try to avoid confrontation. Instead this is being done in a
[28:06.000 --> 28:14.480] way to invite confrontation. And so that's on one side. That's the gang that's being set up on one
[28:14.480 --> 28:20.560] side. And then on the other side they will put up pictures like this Daily Caller got this guy,
[28:20.560 --> 28:28.720] right? Some antifa guy with a rifle there, pretty serious looking rifle, and wearing a mask as well.
[28:29.760 --> 28:34.720] You understand we've got two different gangs, right? We've got the antifa gang wearing a mask
[28:34.720 --> 28:42.080] and carrying automatic weapons, okay? And then we've got the military doing the same and ICE
[28:42.080 --> 28:48.640] doing the same. And you and I are caught in the middle of this. We need to speak up about this.
[28:49.440 --> 28:54.720] We don't need to go silently into this. And we don't need to join one tribe or the other.
[28:54.720 --> 28:59.120] Quite frankly, the people who are the most dangerous threat, there's not one or two guys
[28:59.120 --> 29:06.640] out there with guns. Yeah, anybody can kill you. But it is the massive government operation that
[29:06.640 --> 29:12.000] believes that it is accountable to no man and not accountable to God either. They can kill
[29:12.000 --> 29:18.560] whoever they wish and they don't even have to show any remorse. Whether you're talking about
[29:18.560 --> 29:22.800] people in boats in Venezuela or you're talking about people in the streets of Minneapolis,
[29:23.360 --> 29:28.160] they can kill whoever they wish. They just have to say, well, I felt threatened by what they're
[29:28.160 --> 29:33.440] doing. I felt threatened by those boats. I think they're going to bring drugs in. So we killed them.
[29:33.440 --> 29:38.560] And then we didn't kill everybody. The first time we went back, circled back and eliminated the
[29:38.560 --> 29:44.000] people who were struggling to stay afloat, the shipwrecked people that we had just attacked.
[29:44.960 --> 29:51.360] And so a Daily Caller spotted what appears to be mostly peaceful protesters. That's that picture I
[29:51.360 --> 29:57.840] just showed you. And so these are peaceful, mostly peaceful protesters. How about we have
[29:57.840 --> 30:06.160] some mostly peaceful peace officers? Could we have that? Don't talk to me about the ends if you don't
[30:06.160 --> 30:12.960] care what the means are. Makes all the difference in the world. Trumpberger says, can't wait for
[30:12.960 --> 30:19.200] David to watch Trump's speech at Davos. Well, his plane turned around for the last I saw. I don't
[30:19.200 --> 30:24.160] know, is he taking another plane? He had some problems with Air Force One, which is a good
[30:24.160 --> 30:30.880] example, I think, of the futility and arrogance of power. Here's a guy who's got his own private
[30:30.880 --> 30:37.920] plane, massive airliner, a big entourage and everything. He's got all of the protections
[30:37.920 --> 30:43.360] and everything, the best stuff that money can buy, the best stuff that money that they've printed up
[30:43.360 --> 30:50.560] can buy. And so this is like having the beast, the armored car break down somewhere. He's on
[30:50.560 --> 30:55.200] his way to rally and it breaks down. He's got to call Uber. They had to turn the plane around and
[30:55.200 --> 31:00.400] come back. They're saying it was some kind of a problem. I don't know. You can't believe anything,
[31:00.400 --> 31:05.360] they say. Their default position is to lie, just like the Clintons. I said this for the longest time
[31:05.360 --> 31:12.480] about Bill O'Neill. I said the truth, they would be better served by the truth than by the lies
[31:12.480 --> 31:16.720] that they tell. But their default position is to lie about everything. I remember when we had that
[31:17.600 --> 31:28.560] illegitimate son of Bill Clinton, who was the poor guy. He bore some resemblance to Clinton
[31:28.560 --> 31:35.600] and his mother was a prostitute and said that Bill Clinton was the father and so forth. And
[31:35.600 --> 31:41.520] he used to have the Arkansas State Police would come by and give him money every Christmas and
[31:41.520 --> 31:46.240] all this other kind of stuff. And then that stopped when Bill Clinton ran for national office.
[31:47.280 --> 31:53.760] And they would not do a paternity test to disprove that this guy was Bill Clinton's child.
[31:54.880 --> 31:58.320] They gave him the cold shoulder and he was going around trying to get attention. And of course,
[31:59.200 --> 32:05.440] because Infowars was trying to support Trump, we'd go around and we would cover all these things. I
[32:05.440 --> 32:10.880] felt sorry for the guy. He says, look, I'm not trying to get any money from him. He's my father.
[32:10.880 --> 32:14.560] I'd just like to have him acknowledge that. Danny Williams was his name.
[32:14.560 --> 32:22.800] Yeah, Danny Williams. Yeah, Danny Williams. And again, he was sincere in what he wanted,
[32:22.800 --> 32:27.600] I think. I don't think he was looking for money. He was being used by people like Roger Stone and
[32:27.600 --> 32:35.840] certainly for political purposes. And I said at the time, I said, look, if Clinton would come out
[32:36.800 --> 32:42.240] and kind of embrace this guy, be a father to him. We saw that happen with Arnold Schwarzenegger,
[32:42.240 --> 32:48.080] right? He had an illegitimate child by his maid and the kid looks a bit like him and everything,
[32:48.080 --> 32:52.720] but he's kind of mentored him and been a father to him. And he didn't get a lot of criticism for
[32:52.720 --> 32:58.960] that. I mean, people respect that. Even if they don't respect how this child came into the world
[32:58.960 --> 33:02.240] and what you did to bring this child into the world, they respect you standing up to the
[33:02.320 --> 33:06.560] responsibility. People would have respected that for Bill Clinton, especially given the
[33:06.560 --> 33:10.880] fact that all these Democrats say he's our first black president. Well, he could be the first
[33:11.760 --> 33:17.120] absentee black father to actually take responsibility for this stuff. But again,
[33:17.120 --> 33:23.520] I said the truth would serve him better. If they would admit to it and do something about it,
[33:24.320 --> 33:29.760] that would help them, especially with their base. But instead, out of pride or whatever it was,
[33:30.160 --> 33:34.560] they decided that they were going to deny the paternity of Danny Williams. Thank you for
[33:34.560 --> 33:41.040] reminding me of his name. I'd forgotten his name, Travis. But anyway, so you see people on the
[33:41.040 --> 33:46.160] right. Not to be too pedantic, but most likely the rifle that the ICE guy had wasn't an automatic,
[33:46.160 --> 33:50.400] but a semi-automatic. You're right. I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm sure that if it was an automatic,
[33:50.400 --> 33:55.360] they would have swooped in and taken it away. Possibly automatic since there's not usually
[33:55.360 --> 33:58.800] an easy way to identify that on the outside. You could have modified it and you wouldn't
[33:58.800 --> 34:04.160] really be able to tell from that distance, but most likely a semi-automatic rifle.
[34:04.160 --> 34:08.160] I thought about that when I said it. But thank you for correcting that because
[34:08.800 --> 34:12.160] you know a lot more about firearms than I do. That's absolutely for sure. Anyway,
[34:12.800 --> 34:16.480] sheriff deputies just pulled up and rescued a man being attacked by a violent mob. So all
[34:16.480 --> 34:22.800] this stuff is being put out by the right. And they're right. So the response to all this stuff,
[34:22.800 --> 34:27.840] we don't want to have mobs, whether they got uniforms and badges or whether they don't have
[34:27.840 --> 34:31.920] uniforms and badges because some of the ICE people don't have uniforms and badges. That's
[34:31.920 --> 34:35.920] a big part of the issue there. And they're wearing masks. So how do we know they're not
[34:35.920 --> 34:40.880] anti-file? We would take their word for it, right? We don't want to have mobs of armed people
[34:41.760 --> 34:45.520] out there harassing and arresting people that they don't know anything about. We got
[34:45.520 --> 34:49.120] mobs of anti-file that are arresting people because, hey, you look conservative.
[34:49.120 --> 34:55.120] We've got ICE out there harassing and killing some people because it's like, hey, you look
[34:55.120 --> 35:00.400] like a foreigner or you sound like a foreigner. I don't like your accent. What kind of American
[35:00.400 --> 35:05.920] are you? Remember that line from Civil War? That's where we are right now. We don't want
[35:05.920 --> 35:10.160] that from either side. And yet both sides will say, yeah, but what about, yeah, we got this
[35:11.680 --> 35:17.200] anti-file guy out there with a semi-automatic weapon. And, you know, what about him?
[35:18.960 --> 35:23.440] And then the other guys, they'll say, the anti-file people say, yeah, but what about the ICE people?
[35:23.440 --> 35:30.800] It's this what about-ism. This is the downward spiral taking us all down the drain. Everybody's
[35:30.800 --> 35:36.000] saying, yeah, my guys are bad, but what about these other guys on the other side? We got to do
[35:36.000 --> 35:45.360] something about them. So they're violating the Constitution. CBS News reported the Justice
[35:45.360 --> 35:51.600] Department is investigating Governor Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry over an alleged
[35:52.400 --> 35:57.520] conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents during deportation operations.
[35:58.800 --> 36:01.520] You know, what do we do about this? Where's the local law enforcement?
[36:02.880 --> 36:11.040] Well, they are AWOL, as a matter of fact, and they're absent without leave. And yet many of
[36:11.040 --> 36:16.960] them are getting leave. Many of them are getting paid leave. You had the Governor of Minnesota,
[36:16.960 --> 36:25.440] Walz, signed the law back in 2023, giving extended medical and family leave to anybody
[36:25.440 --> 36:31.440] who wanted it. And it began on January 1st of this year. So they signed the law in 2023. So
[36:31.440 --> 36:37.280] it's going to go effective January 1st, 2026. And it has. And so you've got a lot of people,
[36:37.280 --> 36:42.640] especially police officers, dozens of police officers, expected to tap into the new state
[36:42.640 --> 36:48.080] paid leave program. Well, they're not really doing anything anyway, right? They're not out
[36:48.080 --> 36:51.120] there saying, you know, have you got a warrant for this? Let's make sure they're not being a
[36:51.120 --> 36:56.080] referee, right? Where's Sheriff Taylor when we need him from Mayberry? You know, we need somebody
[36:56.080 --> 37:01.280] like that to be the referee between these two different sides, you know, to be the adult in the
[37:01.280 --> 37:06.240] room. And they're not going to do that. And they're not going to protect people from the
[37:06.240 --> 37:15.040] Antifa mob either. And so this part of the problem with this socialist blank check that
[37:15.040 --> 37:19.600] they've written for people is like, you say you got a medical issue or you got a family issue?
[37:19.600 --> 37:24.560] Sure, go ahead and take off a couple of months. That's fine. We'll keep paying you. And there was
[37:27.120 --> 37:31.440] no limit to the number of people that could leave from a given department. In other words,
[37:31.440 --> 37:36.560] there wasn't anything in the law that says, well, once we get up to certain percent,
[37:36.560 --> 37:42.400] let's say 20%, you know, once 20% of the people are gone because of paid leave, then we have to
[37:42.400 --> 37:47.520] wait until these people come back before you can take it. No, it's just as many people as want to
[37:47.520 --> 37:51.920] do it can take it because that's the way welfare programs work, right? They're entitlement programs.
[37:52.640 --> 37:56.320] If you check the boxes, you get it. It doesn't matter what the consequences are. It doesn't
[37:56.320 --> 38:01.440] matter if we can afford it or not. You get the paid leave. And so that's the other issue.
[38:04.960 --> 38:09.680] When you look at what they're not doing, they're not doing anything of any use anyway.
[38:10.240 --> 38:15.360] So maybe I guess that doesn't matter. They're already AWOL in terms of helping with things.
[38:15.360 --> 38:19.200] Gard Goldsmith, Liberty Conspiracy. Good to see you, Gard. The mayor and governor
[38:19.760 --> 38:24.880] have all constitutional prerogatives on their side per Article 4, Section 4. The feds are not
[38:24.880 --> 38:30.240] supposed to enter without state request. The insurrection act is blatantly and dangerously
[38:30.240 --> 38:36.480] unconstitutional. I agree with that. Now, I agree that the actions that are being taken
[38:36.480 --> 38:42.240] by and let me clarify that, you know, what Trump is doing with the military and what he's doing
[38:42.240 --> 38:48.160] in the way that ICE is deployed and, you know, the thousands of them, they're armored up,
[38:48.160 --> 38:52.080] you know, going house to house as they've bragged they're going to do. We're going to go door to
[38:52.080 --> 38:57.920] door, they say. All of that is wrong. All of that is unconstitutional. But when you have
[39:00.080 --> 39:06.480] state and state officials and local officials say, we're going to block investigations
[39:07.040 --> 39:14.880] into fraud, the Somali fraud, that is aiding and abetting criminal fraud. And so they have
[39:14.880 --> 39:20.320] something that they can do about that. And if you say that they're going to set their state up
[39:20.320 --> 39:24.960] as a sanctuary state, they don't have the authority to do that. Under the Constitution,
[39:24.960 --> 39:29.920] those powers have been delegated to the federal government to control the borders and that type
[39:29.920 --> 39:36.480] of thing. And so there is no authority for that. So the problem is, again, the way that it's being
[39:36.480 --> 39:40.960] done. That's what I've said all along. I don't disagree with the end of what they're doing.
[39:40.960 --> 39:45.520] And I think they have constitutional authority for the end of this. You know, we want to stop
[39:45.520 --> 39:51.600] fraud. We want to stop illegal immigration and so forth. And unfortunately, you don't want to stop
[39:51.600 --> 39:56.800] the welfare fraud that is there, the welfare magnets bringing people in. But the way that
[39:56.800 --> 40:04.000] they're doing it is all wrong. And you're absolutely right. He is invading with a massive army. He's
[40:04.000 --> 40:12.240] invading Minnesota and do it in other states as well, because he wants conflict. Like I said
[40:12.240 --> 40:18.240] before, they could do this in terms of a criminal. Look, if you've got somebody and there's,
[40:19.520 --> 40:26.240] I forget what it was. Is it like half of the money, I think, that had been put out for daycare and
[40:27.120 --> 40:31.520] food relief. And so half of it was fraud. If you're going to preside over that, and if you're
[40:31.520 --> 40:37.200] going to block any investigation of that, that's criminal. That's aiding and abetting a massive
[40:37.200 --> 40:42.240] fraud. And it's a massive fraud on the entire nation because they're using federal money to
[40:42.240 --> 40:48.800] do that. I don't agree with those programs, but this is also fraud. And so there ought to be
[40:48.800 --> 40:53.280] white collar investigations of this kind of stuff, not door to door kicking them down and dragging
[40:53.280 --> 40:58.240] people out in the snow. I don't ever agree with that. What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here.

[42:03.440 --> 42:08.640] right under Pam Bondi, saying, we are not going to investigate the shooting of Renee Goode.
[42:09.600 --> 42:14.160] Very arrogant in this statement. Well, we don't normally look at shootings like that done by law
[42:14.160 --> 42:17.280] enforcement. If they say they felt like they needed to do, we just go with whatever they say.
[42:17.840 --> 42:21.840] We don't ever second guess it, right? We've got a huge problem with that.
[42:22.560 --> 42:27.440] And we look at this guy, Todd Blanch. Where have we seen him before? His name first came up
[42:28.320 --> 42:34.320] because he was the guardian angel of Ghislaine Maxwell. He was the one who went to talk to the
[42:34.320 --> 42:42.560] deputy attorney general, went to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell. That doesn't show any red flags, does it?
[42:43.280 --> 42:47.920] That the president would be so worried about what Ghislaine Maxwell had on him
[42:48.560 --> 42:52.720] and on the intelligence agencies. Remember, she deliberately posed with that book
[42:54.160 --> 42:58.480] about spies and murders of spies and stuff like that and the tales that they could tell.
[42:59.040 --> 43:06.400] She almost taunted the intelligence agencies about what she knew. And so Todd Blanch goes to her and
[43:06.400 --> 43:11.600] has a very, very long discussion with her. Next thing you know, she's moved to out of the prison
[43:11.600 --> 43:17.360] and into Club Fed, where she's got very nice accommodations and gets special treatment even
[43:17.360 --> 43:29.280] there. And so this guy, this fixer for pedophiles, Todd Blanch, the White House guy Blanch,
[43:30.240 --> 43:36.240] it's kind of funny that that would be the name anyway. So he has declared that Jonathan Ross,
[43:36.240 --> 43:43.840] the killer, was justified to kill. And as this recent article points out, most Americans disagree
[43:43.840 --> 43:53.360] with that. They said, why is it that in general, about 60% of independents and more than that for
[43:55.120 --> 44:02.640] Democrats and nearly that many for Republicans, most of them believe that the murder was murder.
[44:04.400 --> 44:11.040] I believe that from the first time I saw it. And so why is that if it's obvious? You've got Todd
[44:11.040 --> 44:14.560] Blanch, you've got Kristi Noem saying, go back and look at the video. Well, as I point out in
[44:14.560 --> 44:17.440] reason, most of the people have looked at the video and that's why they think it's murder.
[44:18.640 --> 44:25.280] And when you see the film from the officer that was there that he took, you can clearly see that
[44:25.280 --> 44:30.880] she's not even looking at him, that she's supposedly trying to murder him. She doesn't have an
[44:30.880 --> 44:36.080] expression of hate or fear or anything. She's calmly turning the wheel. And you could already
[44:36.080 --> 44:40.400] see from the first footage that was out there that she's moving forward, the wheel is turned.
[44:40.400 --> 44:45.440] And I said, have these people never driven a car? If somebody's telling you to get the car out of
[44:45.440 --> 44:49.760] here, she's doing a three point turn. And one of the things that she had to do to back up was
[44:49.760 --> 44:54.640] because this guy runs out in front of her car, trying to use his body to stop her. That doesn't
[44:54.640 --> 44:59.520] make any sense. That's not the people who are trained in law enforcement are told, don't try
[44:59.520 --> 45:04.880] to stop a car with your body. That's stupid. I mean, I even had somebody when I criticized
[45:04.880 --> 45:08.160] that initially, some person said, well, what would you do? And I said, first of all, I wouldn't try
[45:08.160 --> 45:13.680] to stop the car with my body. And you can see from his footage that, you know, he walks around
[45:13.680 --> 45:18.480] and then he leaps forward. Just as she's starting to move forward, he leaps forward and leans into
[45:18.480 --> 45:24.800] the car, but he still wasn't hurt. And all this nonsense about the internal bleeding. I mean,
[45:24.800 --> 45:31.360] it's just been one lie after the other began with lies from Kristi Noem that they were stuck in the
[45:31.360 --> 45:36.240] snow. They were not stuck in the snow. We can all see that's a lie. And then they were attacked
[45:36.240 --> 45:42.320] with cars, right? When they were stuck in the snow. No Kristi. You might want to look at the
[45:42.320 --> 45:46.400] video before you start making up lies, but that's the contempt that they have for us.
[45:47.120 --> 45:51.200] No, they're not going to call me on this lie. They like me. I can say anything I want,
[45:51.200 --> 45:56.560] you know, just like Trump. I can tell them anything I want and they'll second that. They'll go along
[45:56.560 --> 46:04.000] with it. And so they lied about everything and how they're saying that he was bleeding internally.
[46:04.960 --> 46:08.480] And people point out, well, you know, if you're bleeding internally, they'll keep you in the
[46:08.480 --> 46:15.840] hospital for observation. No specifics. You know, what was that about? And why did it stop?
[46:17.200 --> 46:22.320] The thing I thought was a real tell with that, where they said he was bleeding internally
[46:22.320 --> 46:26.400] in the torso. Well, that sounds like a doctor's diagnosis.
[46:26.400 --> 46:33.280] I went into the doctor and I said, you know, I got such and such a problem. I said,
[46:33.840 --> 46:38.000] I think it might be something in your torso. I don't know. I mean, when you walk out of that
[46:38.000 --> 46:42.880] doctor's office, if that's all he knows, he doesn't, doesn't have a clue somewhere in your torso.
[46:42.880 --> 46:47.200] Well, that's good to know. It's under my arms, legs or head, right? That kind of narrows it down.
[46:48.480 --> 46:53.360] It was absurd. And if he had had internal bleeding, they would have not released him
[46:53.360 --> 46:57.520] in a couple of hours. That was a cover story. It was a story to cover for Trump's lie
[46:58.320 --> 47:02.880] that he was run over, which we can all see did not happen. He didn't even get knocked to the ground,
[47:02.880 --> 47:09.840] let alone get run over. And so the flip side of that was that I showed that video the very first
[47:09.840 --> 47:14.400] day. There was a guy saying, I'm a doctor. Let me help. Oh, stay back. You can't help. You know,
[47:15.040 --> 47:17.760] you try to help. I'm going to have to kill you. You know, that type of thing.
[47:18.720 --> 47:25.520] And the reality is that she was alive for several hours after that. And they refused medical help
[47:25.520 --> 47:32.800] to her. The sheriff who pointed out that they violated all of the rules of common sense
[47:33.520 --> 47:39.120] and police engagement, whether or not you think this is justified, he violated all the rules,
[47:40.080 --> 47:47.920] said he'd had situations where his deputies had in defense shot and killed somebody who was
[47:47.920 --> 47:53.760] shooting at them and trying to kill them. After they shot the guy, they ran up to administer first
[47:53.760 --> 47:59.520] aid to him. He said the same guy that had just shot at and just tried to kill them, they tried
[47:59.520 --> 48:04.240] to help him after they stopped him. That's the way things are supposed to work. That's the way
[48:04.480 --> 48:13.120] just war is supposed to work. You are supposed to stop the purpose of the war is to stop the
[48:13.120 --> 48:17.680] violence that was started by somebody else. So you don't start wars like Trump does.
[48:18.400 --> 48:25.120] And then your purpose is to end the war as soon as possible and to avoid hurting anybody that is a
[48:25.120 --> 48:31.280] non-combatant. And when the threat stops, like you've hit somebody and blown up their boat,
[48:31.920 --> 48:38.240] you don't circle back and kill them like the U-boat commanders did, dare we say, Nazis.
[48:39.760 --> 48:44.800] You don't circle back and kill them. Instead, what you do is you administer aid. And that's
[48:44.800 --> 48:50.560] what these guys are doing. That's what a trained cop is supposed to do. That's not what the Trump
[48:50.560 --> 48:58.000] people are doing. It's a very, very dangerous precedent. They are rewriting all of the laws
[48:58.000 --> 49:03.120] and the Constitution, and they're trying to rewrite moral law. Now, I can't do anything
[49:03.120 --> 49:07.280] about the Constitution. I can't enforce that. But I tell you what, I'm going to scream real loud
[49:07.280 --> 49:12.720] when they try to rewrite the moral law. So again, we're not investigating the shooting
[49:12.720 --> 49:17.200] of Rene Good, says Todd Blanch. And by the way, they're not going to investigate anything about
[49:17.200 --> 49:23.520] the pedophiles either. So Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension complained that the agency
[49:23.520 --> 49:28.800] had been excluded from the investigation. And now you've got Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch
[49:28.800 --> 49:34.720] saying that there's not going to be, first of all, we're going to lead it solely by the FBI. Now he
[49:34.720 --> 49:39.920] comes out this last Sunday and he was asked, what can you tell us about the investigation? When will
[49:39.920 --> 49:45.840] that be made public? He didn't answer directly. Instead, what Todd Blanch said, well, we don't
[49:45.840 --> 49:51.760] just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody who
[49:51.760 --> 49:56.560] was putting his life in danger. Sounds like he's already come to a conclusion here, doesn't it?
[49:57.440 --> 50:03.120] There's a lot of conclusions in that sentence, isn't there? He said, we never do. There's over
[50:03.120 --> 50:06.240] a thousand shootings every year where law enforcement officers are put in danger by
[50:06.240 --> 50:10.800] individuals and they have to protect themselves and they have a lawful right to do so.
[50:12.240 --> 50:19.600] Problem is he was never in danger. The problem is he was the aggressor. The problem is that he put
[50:19.600 --> 50:25.920] innocent people, bystanders, at danger by shooting into that car and then turning that car into an
[50:25.920 --> 50:32.400] unguided missile because he'd shot the person inside the car. Everything he did about that was wrong.
[50:32.400 --> 50:37.040] You know, we've had a lot of police departments who've decided that they're not going to do high
[50:37.040 --> 50:42.080] speed chases of people anymore because, you know, we've got cameras and we know the car and we can
[50:42.080 --> 50:45.680] follow this and see where it is and dispatch officers. They're eventually going to run out
[50:45.680 --> 50:49.920] of gas or stop somewhere. We can do that, but we're going to keep our distance. We're not going to
[50:49.920 --> 50:54.000] try to match their speed and do everything they did because we've had a lot of people who've been
[50:54.000 --> 50:58.880] killed, innocent people who've been killed when we play those kinds of games. Same thing here.
[50:59.840 --> 51:08.000] So Blanche said, just like Trump, just like Gnome, just like Vance, this is self-defense.
[51:08.000 --> 51:14.240] Even though she was driving past many shots, two shots, and you could argue the third shot,
[51:14.960 --> 51:21.520] these were all shot from angles where he was not in danger. The car was driving past him.
[51:22.480 --> 51:28.400] And again, when you shoot somebody who is fleeing, that is not self-defense. And I would say that
[51:28.400 --> 51:32.720] that's not justified either. It's not justified if I do it in my home. If somebody breaks in,
[51:32.720 --> 51:37.520] takes something, they're running out the thing, and I'm not threatened, I'm not justified to shoot
[51:37.520 --> 51:43.840] them in the back and neither is a cop. And I don't care what the law says. It's not justified. We all
[51:43.840 --> 51:51.680] know that. Don't let them gaslight you with their phony laws. If the law says that, then the law is,
[51:51.680 --> 51:57.920] as one person said, an ass. And so are the people who are enforcing that law. We're not going to
[51:58.480 --> 52:02.320] agree to a law like that. We should demand that it be changed.

[53:06.800 --> 53:13.600] the polls aren't going to determine the guilt or innocence of Jonathan Ross. And the government's
[53:13.600 --> 53:19.520] not going to prosecute him. But it will have an effect on these politicians who are trying to
[53:19.520 --> 53:26.880] rewrite the law and rewrite morality. And so, independents, 58% of them saying the shooting was
[53:26.880 --> 53:33.680] not justified. With Republicans, more than a third said the shooting was not justified.
[53:34.640 --> 53:43.280] 24% said they weren't sure, because you're always going to have these people who don't have an
[53:43.280 --> 53:50.640] opinion about whatever it is that you ask them. They never have their mind made up. So 88% of
[53:50.640 --> 53:57.680] Democrats said the shooting was not justified. But again, 58% of independents. And even with
[53:58.320 --> 54:05.120] And even with Republicans, more than a third said the shooting was not justified. So there's a heavy,
[54:05.120 --> 54:13.440] heavy partisan aspect to this. But still, a lot of people can see what happened with all of this.
[54:13.440 --> 54:17.040] And these results, he goes through several different polls. I'm not going to redraw the
[54:17.040 --> 54:22.720] numbers. But it's pretty consistent. That's about 60% of the people say, you know, when you average
[54:22.720 --> 54:28.960] it out, we average out the biased Republicans and the biased Democrats, it works out to be about
[54:28.960 --> 54:36.400] where the independents are, which is about 60% of the people saying it wasn't justified. So again,
[54:38.160 --> 54:45.200] he's been given a paid vacation. And he'll probably get a medal from Kristi Noem, eventually. I mean,
[54:45.200 --> 54:51.680] after all, they gave a medal to Fauci. I know it was a commendation. You know, we understand what
[54:51.680 --> 54:55.680] that's about. So are they going to follow the law? Are they going to follow morality? No,
[54:56.320 --> 55:04.720] they will always lie to you. And so as they were saying, why didn't you wait for an investigation
[55:05.440 --> 55:10.800] to speak out? Kristi Noem said, well, everything that I have said has been proven to be factual
[55:10.800 --> 55:17.760] and true. You mean being stuck in the snow? You mean being attacked by a car? All that was factual?
[55:18.720 --> 55:24.320] Nothing you said was factual. Nothing you said was true. And we can all see that.
[55:24.880 --> 55:31.120] You're transparently lying. So they point out here, Noem, like Blanche, says, everybody can
[55:31.120 --> 55:37.120] watch the videos and see. And so Reason Magazine says, if that were true, that the videos leave
[55:37.120 --> 55:44.160] no doubt on that score, then why do 60% of Americans who have seen that footage say Good
[55:44.240 --> 55:51.920] was not trying to kill Ross and that he acted recklessly? That's the least of all this stuff.
[55:52.560 --> 55:55.520] The witness reported that one of the agents had told her to drive away,
[55:56.480 --> 55:59.840] which would have been a straightforward and peaceful way to resolve the situation.
[55:59.840 --> 56:04.160] But another agent took a more aggressive approach, get out of the car, get out of the car,
[56:04.160 --> 56:10.320] started grabbing that. And of course, you can hear from the it's amazing to me
[56:10.480 --> 56:16.240] to see these conservatives. And it's people in the past that I generally agree with, you know,
[56:16.240 --> 56:20.480] Juanita Broderick and people like Ben Garrison saying, well, that's it. If you look at the cops
[56:20.480 --> 56:27.840] video that shows that he's innocent. The cop video after he shoots her, just a minute or so,
[56:27.840 --> 56:31.920] after she said, Hey, everything's fine. I'm not angry with you and all this guy. He shoots and
[56:31.920 --> 56:37.120] kills her. And then he mumbles on the video, effing bitch, right?
[56:40.320 --> 56:48.320] Yeah, that would be enough for me, folks. I would if I was on the jury, that's enough for me.
[56:48.320 --> 56:54.320] I can see and I can hear. And I don't need to get caught up in this partisanship stuff here.
[56:55.040 --> 56:59.040] You know, Juanita Broderick is putting stuff out. Well, she should have just obeyed the cops. Which
[56:59.040 --> 57:04.480] cop are you supposed to obey? And if I don't obey a cop, are they justified in killing me?
[57:05.440 --> 57:10.720] You can always blame the victim. It's a shame to see that happening with Juanita Broderick.
[57:10.720 --> 57:15.600] Again, you'd always say, well, you should never have let Bill Clinton come to your hotel room.
[57:16.160 --> 57:22.880] It's your fault, right? I don't blame her, but here she is a victim and she's blaming it.
[57:22.880 --> 57:26.400] It's like the people say, well, that Central Park jogger, she should have known better than
[57:26.400 --> 57:33.920] to go jogging in Central Park. And basically blaming the victim. And that's what Juanita
[57:33.920 --> 57:41.680] Broderick is doing as well. So the right has caught the woke mind virus, says a pre-thought
[57:41.680 --> 57:49.440] project. And their symptoms are mass arrest and censorship. And I said this for the longest time.
[57:49.440 --> 57:55.920] I said, you know, this is coming again from the top down. I said there were terrible things that
[57:55.920 --> 58:01.200] were done to Trump in terms of lawfare. It was so unjust and everybody could see the injustice of it
[58:02.160 --> 58:06.560] that it propelled him past all the debates. He didn't have to participate in debates.
[58:07.200 --> 58:13.280] He didn't have to defend his past record. He didn't have to have any agenda for the future
[58:13.280 --> 58:18.960] that he wanted to talk about. And he just became the nominee. And I said, the problem is, is that
[58:18.960 --> 58:25.840] he's not going to go in and stop the kind of lawfare that was used against him. He's going to use
[58:25.840 --> 58:30.400] that against other people. Why? Because he doesn't want to strengthen the constitution and the rule
[58:30.400 --> 58:37.120] of law. He wants to strengthen himself personally. I'm the bad guy on the street. You better not
[58:37.120 --> 58:43.680] cross me. Get on your knees to me. That's what he wants. And that's what MAGA wants as well.
[58:44.400 --> 58:51.440] As a free thought project points out, they prioritize ideology over reality. They silence
[58:51.440 --> 58:58.000] dissent. They demand total conformity to a collective hive mind. Yeah, that was what we
[58:58.000 --> 59:04.160] always said about the left, wasn't it? What Elon Musk said about the woke mind virus. He was right
[59:04.160 --> 59:10.240] about that. And now we have seen all that being done by the MAGA people as well. It turned the
[59:10.240 --> 59:15.920] left into a caricature of authoritarianism where liberty was traded for safety and free speech was
[59:15.920 --> 59:21.040] branded as violence. But here's the terrifying plot twist that few are willing to admit.
[59:21.840 --> 59:25.920] In 2026, the virus didn't die when the right started winning the culture war.
[59:26.720 --> 59:33.840] It simply jumped hosts. The new right has not defeated the woke mind virus. They have mutated
[59:33.840 --> 59:41.120] it. We've traded blue haired social justice warrior hysteria for red hat Caesar fanaticism.
[59:43.040 --> 59:47.040] That's exactly what has happened. You know, we always say be careful you don't become the
[59:47.040 --> 59:53.040] monster you fight. Well, that is true for the tribes as well, isn't it? The symptoms remain
[59:53.040 --> 59:59.680] exactly the same. An unquenchable thirst to use the violence of the state to crush their enemies.
[01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:03.680] Especially, you know, when you see some news organization out there saying, oh, look, you
[01:00:03.680 --> 01:00:08.800] know, we're going to collect the tears of the left and all the rest. We're going to,
[01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:17.360] you know, crush them and all the rest. Just don't trust an organization like that. Don't trust that.
[01:00:18.160 --> 01:00:22.960] The goal is not justice. The goal is monopoly. They don't hate the boot on your neck.
[01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:28.960] They just want to be the ones who are wearing it. And so we see this happening with the
[01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:35.840] conservatives all the time. When you cheer for a police state to crush the left, you are cheering
[01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:43.680] for a machine that will eventually crush you. And so that is the thing that we need to remember.
[01:00:43.680 --> 01:00:50.080] That's what I've always said. It's kind of a paraphrase. We know this always, right? Remember
[01:00:50.080 --> 01:00:53.600] Gerald Ford's version of that was he said a government's big enough to give you everything
[01:00:53.600 --> 01:01:00.640] that you want is big enough to take everything that you've got. Now, we're not talking about
[01:01:00.640 --> 01:01:05.200] economic redistribution anymore. We're talking about the redistribution of power. And we're
[01:01:05.200 --> 01:01:11.200] talking about two sides that want to hurt and kill each other. And just like these people just
[01:01:11.200 --> 01:01:16.640] driving down the street in Minneapolis and they get attacked by maybe an antifa mob or maybe they
[01:01:16.640 --> 01:01:23.520] get attacked by an antifa by a ice mob simply because of the way they look. You're going to
[01:01:23.520 --> 01:01:29.920] have these different mobs are going to jump to conclusions. And that's the threat that we're all
[01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:36.400] facing right now. You know what? It sucks to be bored. But when I get on my phone and play real

[01:02:37.600 --> 01:02:43.040] He's always an interesting character to read, an amusing comical character to read. So here's
[01:02:43.040 --> 01:02:48.320] Wayne Alan Root. President Trump, there is a better way to empower ICE. Here are some creative ideas
[01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:54.080] guaranteed to succeed and make liberal heads explode. Right there. There's a guy right there.
[01:02:54.720 --> 01:02:59.600] His strategy. We got to make liberal heads explode. We got to collect the liberal tears
[01:02:59.600 --> 01:03:05.200] and all the rest of the stuff. And that's his justification. I need to hurt the other people.
[01:03:05.200 --> 01:03:10.080] I need to hurt the other tribe. You can kind of dismiss anything that Wayne Alan Root has to say.
[01:03:10.080 --> 01:03:14.880] But I thought it was interesting to look at it. I thought, well, what are his recommendations
[01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:21.120] with this stuff? And so you got to own the left, right? I'm so tired of this nonsense.
[01:03:21.600 --> 01:03:31.200] But he had about five different suggestions. And interestingly enough, the last suggestion
[01:03:31.200 --> 01:03:35.840] is something that I've said from the very beginning. I was really floored to see
[01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:43.280] Wayne Alan Root agree with me on something. So idea number one. This is a key idea. Let's change
[01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:49.760] the name of ICE to NICE. That'll make all the difference in the world, won't it?
[01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:55.520] Well, you know, the interesting thing is if he was a little bit more literate,
[01:03:55.520 --> 01:04:01.520] you would understand that that was the name of the organization, the totalitarian organization
[01:04:01.520 --> 01:04:07.200] in a C.S. Lewis novel. And you know, just like Ministry of Truth, that kind of sinister
[01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:11.840] relabeling of that kind of stuff, that's not going to make any difference.
[01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:17.760] So number two, protesters are paid. Sign an executive order banning paid protesters. All right.
[01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:23.280] I can kind of see that. The problem is then going to be, well, at what point do you call
[01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:28.160] this compensation? I mean, did they set up a website somewhere? And now you're going to
[01:04:28.160 --> 01:04:35.360] call that paid protesting? He said, if you're paid to do this, it's fake speech. So it'll be banned.
[01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:45.360] Well, I agree with that in principle. But again, political speech is political speech,
[01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:49.280] and people can pay for political speech. And where do you draw the line on this stuff?
[01:04:50.320 --> 01:04:56.480] So that's an unworkable situation. He said, number three, no more kid gloves. Spray them down with
[01:04:56.480 --> 01:05:02.880] water and 10 degree weather. Yeah, you know, I noticed that they drag people that they don't
[01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:08.960] know who they are. They drag them out in 10 degree weather. So yeah, let's double down on this stuff.
[01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:16.400] Let's be harsh with people. So not only that, but dye the water red so that we can identify them
[01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:22.640] with this dye and we'll know who they were. It's like, oh, okay. So now you're admitting that red
[01:05:22.640 --> 01:05:28.960] is the color of communism. I thought that the MAGA people were all clueless about this. They said
[01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:34.880] when the mainstream media labeled them as red states, they embraced it and boasted about it.
[01:05:35.680 --> 01:05:40.160] So again, then he has his fifth idea. Anybody arrested in these violent protests
[01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:44.960] should be bussed to far away federal prisons or detention centers.
[01:05:46.640 --> 01:05:49.680] Now look at that. And I thought, you know, it seems like as we're coming up,
[01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:54.720] 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it seems like that was one
[01:05:54.720 --> 01:06:01.040] of the things that King George III did. You know, let's remove these people out of the area where
[01:06:01.040 --> 01:06:05.120] they live and let's bring them into a jurisdiction where I can nail them, right? The left has done
[01:06:05.120 --> 01:06:11.120] that. They use New York and Washington D.C. to get people. So let's bust them away and let's send them
[01:06:11.120 --> 01:06:16.800] to some, as he would call it, a red state where we can really give them our justice, you know,
[01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:21.120] that type of thing. I don't agree with that. But then finally, he said, here's his grand finale,
[01:06:21.120 --> 01:06:28.240] number six. And this is the one that I agree with. He said, I said this 90 days ago. And I said it
[01:06:28.240 --> 01:06:34.640] when all this stuff began as well. He said, stop sending ICE into areas where violent and angry
[01:06:34.640 --> 01:06:39.920] protesters and rioters block the streets and politicians won't cooperate. That's what I said.
[01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:46.960] I said, if Trump isn't actively trying to get conflict and chaos, why doesn't he go to the
[01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:50.880] places where he's welcome? He could come to Tennessee and the people would work with him
[01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:56.880] on all this stuff on this part. You know, he would be a very friendly environment and you
[01:06:56.880 --> 01:07:02.720] wouldn't have all this conflict. But he wants the conflict because the conflict is vital to his
[01:07:02.720 --> 01:07:10.000] political and public relations, right? That's what the man is all about. He wants conflict not just
[01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:13.920] within America, but he wants conflict with other countries. He wants conflict with the Democrats,
[01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:20.080] but he also wants conflict with Republicans. That's what he thrives on. So again, Wayne
[01:07:20.080 --> 01:07:26.640] Allen doesn't get it. The whole point of this is to have conflict. As I said at the very beginning
[01:07:26.640 --> 01:07:32.160] of this, if Trump wanted to really fix the problem, he could go to the top and he could start coming
[01:07:32.160 --> 01:07:39.680] after people who are aiding and abetting massive fraud, for example. And part of that fraud, I
[01:07:39.680 --> 01:07:44.800] think, is this whole illegal immigration thing. And certainly the federal government has the authority
[01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:49.360] to enforce immigration law. So if these people want to set themselves up as a sanctuary city,
[01:07:49.360 --> 01:07:54.080] come after these politicians who do that type of thing. Instead, he wants conflict at the
[01:07:54.080 --> 01:08:00.640] grassroots level. He wants a civil war at the grassroots level because he knows, and we need
[01:08:00.640 --> 01:08:06.320] to all know, that we are at a fourth turning and people don't have any trust in these institutions.
[01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:13.520] They can see how corrupt they are. We have massive financial fraud by the federal government, both
[01:08:13.520 --> 01:08:20.800] bipartisan groups. Coming up, we're going to hit $40 trillion of debt probably at the end of this
[01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:27.440] year. And that's the real issue. That's going to cause major economic consequences. And so he
[01:08:27.440 --> 01:08:34.960] wants a war. He wants foreign wars, many of them. He wants to have domestic conflict, maybe even a
[01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:42.640] civil war. That suits his purpose. That is his wag the dog response to all this. He wants the
[01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:50.080] conflict. It's the key part of all of this stuff. So again, yeah, that's a big tell, isn't it? Maybe
[01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:56.560] Wayne Alan Root needs to go back and look at that. So we got another comment here from Gard.
[01:08:57.440 --> 01:09:02.480] Trav, do you want to read it? Yes, we do. Gard says border control is not in the U.S. Constitution,
[01:09:02.480 --> 01:09:07.440] only with a declaration of war against a nation state. Immigration and border control, as the
[01:09:07.440 --> 01:09:14.560] Texas Constitution of 1869 noted, was up to the states. Well, okay, I'll take your word for it,
[01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:20.720] Gard. I want to go back and look at that. I think that when we look at the general purpose
[01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:26.240] of the federal government, it was not to provide welfare payments. They say the general welfare,
[01:09:26.240 --> 01:09:33.440] but they say for the common defense. I look at that as a broad category of that. But again,
[01:09:34.240 --> 01:09:39.040] you know, I think that certainly on the fraud issue, when you've got people that are coming,
[01:09:39.040 --> 01:09:43.440] would you agree with that, Gard? That if you've got mayors and other people who are saying,
[01:09:44.240 --> 01:09:47.440] yeah, we know that these daycare centers are fraudulent, but we're not going to let you do
[01:09:47.440 --> 01:09:53.200] anything about it because we love our Somalis, right? I think that is something right there.
[01:09:53.200 --> 01:09:59.040] They're aiding and abetting criminal fraud at the very least. I think the other issues are an issue
[01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.600] as well. But it all comes back to the welfare state. The welfare state is unconstitutional
[01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:12.800] to start with. It's fraudulent to start with in the general area of that. But of course, then
[01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:18.640] there's additional fraud on top of that. It's just like the CARES Act, right? What Trump did to lock
[01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:23.440] everybody down was unconstitutional. He bribed everybody to do it. And then he bribed you to be
[01:10:23.440 --> 01:10:27.840] silent about it with the CARES Act. And yet, where did most of that money go? Most of it was taken
[01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:32.480] up with fraud. The stuff that was supposed to go to small businesses went to large businesses. More
[01:10:32.480 --> 01:10:39.600] than 50% went to the 5% of the largest businesses. They redefined what a small business was for that
[01:10:39.600 --> 01:10:43.760] purpose. So everything about it was fraudulent, as is most of the stuff that government does.
[01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:48.640] But at some point, you got to start saying, we're going to do something about it at some point.
[01:10:51.200 --> 01:10:56.240] So Gard says, yeah, Trump is in Switzerland, where they mainly speak German. And he just told Davos
[01:10:56.800 --> 01:11:05.600] without us, you'd all be speaking German. That's even better than the JFK line when JFK went to
[01:11:06.480 --> 01:11:13.200] Berlin and the Berlin airlift when they cut it off. And he says, ich bin ein Berliner. And
[01:11:14.080 --> 01:11:19.120] he thought he was saying, I am from Berlin, right? But a Berliner was a jelly doughnut.
[01:11:19.120 --> 01:11:23.840] And so they cut that off right away because you can hear the crowd laughing at him. Because
[01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:29.840] basically what he was saying to them, I'm an Oreo or something like that. And it would have been,
[01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:38.320] ich bin ein Deutschlander or something like that. But anyway, that's a new line.
[01:11:38.320 --> 01:11:45.760] I'm always curious as to how the rest of the world handles presidential elections,
[01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:50.480] knowing that whoever wins for four years, they're going to be sending this doofus to your country
[01:11:50.480 --> 01:11:57.200] to give speeches. Let's just hope he doesn't send the military to your country.
[01:11:57.200 --> 01:12:01.280] I guess that's what most of them are thinking, especially people in Greenland.
[01:12:01.280 --> 01:12:03.600] So we're going to take a quick break, folks. And when we come back,
[01:12:05.200 --> 01:12:12.000] I want to talk about this family culture issue that is really at the center of what's happening
[01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:18.480] to our society. Politics is really downstream from this. And a lot of the stuff that Trump is
[01:12:18.480 --> 01:12:24.960] doing, as important as it is, as dangerous as it is, is downstream from this major problem.
[01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:28.960] And so we're going to talk about the central problem of this. How do we get to the situation
[01:12:29.600 --> 01:12:35.120] of the disintegration of families, the disintegration of culture and relationship
[01:12:35.120 --> 01:12:37.680] that we have with each other? How do we get to that point?
[01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:42.400] So we're going to talk about that when we come back. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

[01:16:37.120 --> 01:16:41.520] Absolutely. Yeah. Do something. Do look at some of these natural remedies and they've got some
[01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:46.320] wonderful things there at Homestead products. And, you know, look at some of these natural
[01:16:46.320 --> 01:16:49.840] remedies that have been around for a long time. We've always had cold. We've always had flu. And,
[01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:54.000] you know, there was a panic story that was put out by the mainstream media saying that
[01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:59.760] this mother who just lost her four year old child to flu has a message for everybody.
[01:17:00.320 --> 01:17:04.320] And, you know, so they're trying to sell you on the flu shot. She said, you know, my husband and I,
[01:17:04.320 --> 01:17:07.840] we never got flu shots before. We never had a problem with this. And this child was very
[01:17:07.840 --> 01:17:12.400] healthy. We don't really know what happened with it. And the strange thing they said was that,
[01:17:12.400 --> 01:17:18.320] you know, wasn't the first person in the family to get sick. Other people had been sick, but,
[01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:24.560] you know, we don't know how she got this disease. It's like, yeah, you go back and look at the
[01:17:25.200 --> 01:17:31.440] cold house that the British had for 45 years that Mark and Sam Bailey talk about. They did
[01:17:31.440 --> 01:17:35.840] everything. They had people cough in each other's face, you know, to try to transfer the cold.
[01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:39.200] They transferred mucus, all the rest of the stuff. They can figure out how it was
[01:17:39.200 --> 01:17:43.680] transferring. And the lady, even in this article, she pointed out, she said,
[01:17:44.240 --> 01:17:47.920] and I'm not really sure if it would have helped in this particular case, because, you know,
[01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:53.760] we have this new subclade X or whatever this thing is called, strain of flu, they tell us.
[01:17:54.720 --> 01:18:01.360] And that's not what this flu shot was for. And, you know, they have this crystal ball
[01:18:01.360 --> 01:18:07.040] that they consult, I guess. I don't know how they know how to make up their flu stuff,
[01:18:07.040 --> 01:18:13.440] because they make this stuff up. They decide in advance that there's going to be this particular
[01:18:13.440 --> 01:18:19.600] strain of flu, they say. And then that's the one that they manufacture the vaccine for, they say.
[01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:26.400] And then they have everybody take that. So even in their fictional world of virology,
[01:18:27.280 --> 01:18:33.600] the stuff doesn't add up. Even if you believed that they knew that there was a virus that was,
[01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:39.040] even if you believe that a virus is causing this, even if you believe they knew the virus that was
[01:18:39.040 --> 01:18:44.480] causing this, they don't know the virus is going to cause that this year. So how do they vaccinate
[01:18:44.480 --> 01:18:49.280] for that? The whole thing is nonsense. The whole thing is a fiction. And so, you know, we look at
[01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:57.040] all these different stories about how we get here. We've got this gravitational pull of politics
[01:18:57.040 --> 01:19:02.640] and government that is dragging us into these things. Yeah, one flu over the cuckoo nest,
[01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:09.440] FLU. That's right, Travis. Anyway, it's pulling us into this. But like I said before,
[01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:14.400] this is all downstream from what is happening to us as individuals,
[01:19:15.360 --> 01:19:22.560] and what is happening to us religiously, right? The politics is downstream from the culture.
[01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:28.880] The culture is downstream from what we believe about God. And so we need to go upstream and
[01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:35.520] look at the source of all this pollution in our society. And what happened to family? What happened
[01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:41.200] to education? What happened to culture? And why is it that women, not just in the United States,
[01:19:41.360 --> 01:19:50.320] but globally, why have they turned hard left as men have kind of stayed where they were?
[01:19:50.320 --> 01:19:54.640] There's an interesting theory about this and some new data that's come out. A lot of people
[01:19:54.640 --> 01:20:02.480] like to talk about the offals, the affluent white female urban liberals, right? And yet it's not
[01:20:02.480 --> 01:20:08.800] simply an urban or white thing. This is something that's happening across the globe. There's some
[01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:14.480] kind of a global thing that is happening. And it's an interesting idea. But let's begin with the
[01:20:14.480 --> 01:20:20.880] schools. We've got a Kansas school. This is a report from Zero Hedge. A Kansas school has
[01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:27.520] banned students from naming Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, or Jesus as role models.
[01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:33.120] And what's the first thing you think of as a Christian with that? I think, first of all,
[01:20:33.120 --> 01:20:38.880] Jesus is not a role model. He's Lord. It's a big difference. We just got finished with
[01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:43.360] all the Christmas carols that we're singing, right? Hark the herald angels sing. Glory to
[01:20:43.360 --> 01:20:52.560] the newborn role model, right? No, that's not it. Christ is King. Christ is God. He is Lord. He is
[01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:59.840] not simply a role model. Yes, we can learn things from him, but that's not the purpose of Jesus.
[01:21:00.640 --> 01:21:07.120] And so, there's a problem with this to begin with. But you had intolerance at this elementary
[01:21:07.120 --> 01:21:12.800] school. Don't even mention the name of Jesus, right? Parents at an elementary school in Kansas
[01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:20.720] are upset after students reportedly told they were not allowed to list Trump or Charlie Kirk
[01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:27.280] or even Jesus as their role models for their assignment. This is coming from a school guidance
[01:21:27.280 --> 01:21:34.000] counselor. Her name is Casey Countryman. That's an unusual last name. I've never seen that name
[01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:42.160] before. So, Ms. Countryman gave sixth graders an assignment called, quote, find your voice as part
[01:21:42.160 --> 01:21:49.440] of their, quote, leader in me program. They were asked to identify their role models, but any
[01:21:49.440 --> 01:21:56.000] conservative role models were apparently not allowed. Well, again, let me correct the author
[01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:03.520] of this article here and say Jesus is not conservative. He came to set us free, not to
[01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:10.960] give us a new set of rules, not to get us involved in a political party. When you look at the freedom
[01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:16.000] in Christ, right? A lot of people say, well, look, he took the Ten Commandments and he put them on
[01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:22.320] steroids. Yes, that's right. He said, you've heard, thou shalt not kill, right? And I shall not murder,
[01:22:22.320 --> 01:22:29.680] actually, is more accurate. But he said, I say if you hate somebody, you've already killed them,
[01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:34.080] murdered them in your heart. You've heard not to commit adultery, but if you look at them with
[01:22:34.080 --> 01:22:39.680] lust, you've already committed adultery in your heart. So, yes, he is giving us, he is saying,
[01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:43.280] well, you know, the standard is much higher and you're not going to meet that standard.
[01:22:44.080 --> 01:22:50.080] But at the same time, he died for our sins. He died to erase our shortcomings. At the same time,
[01:22:50.080 --> 01:22:55.840] he tells us that it's an impossible standard that is there. But what he's really trying to do, I think,
[01:22:56.800 --> 01:23:02.640] in this is not just to say, well, again, it's an impossible standard. I think what he's trying to
[01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:08.880] do is to say to you that if you accept his forgiveness, if you follow him, you can be
[01:23:08.880 --> 01:23:17.920] freed from the chains of hate. You can be free from the chains of lust and other things like that,
[01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:25.920] right? Sin is slavery. We don't see it as that. We think of sin as freedom, but it really is
[01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:35.040] slavery. And so, if we understand his perspective on this, it is if we make him Lord, we follow him,
[01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:42.800] then that is, and we trust in his forgiveness, so we are no longer enslaved by our own sense of
[01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:48.720] failure and things like that. That is a very freeing thing. And that is really his purpose.
[01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:55.040] He didn't come here to be a role model. You know, C.S. Lewis, as a matter of fact, said, well,
[01:23:55.040 --> 01:24:01.120] a lot of people say Jesus is a great role model. But he said, that's not right. He's either a liar,
[01:24:01.120 --> 01:24:09.200] a lunatic, or he's Lord, right? He claimed to be the Son of God. So he's either a liar or he's crazy
[01:24:09.200 --> 01:24:14.880] or he really is. And so, yeah, do follow Jesus. You know, people will say, you know, what would
[01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:22.320] Jesus do, that type of thing. And that is really kind of a shorthand for, you know, how did Jesus
[01:24:22.320 --> 01:24:27.520] advise us to live our lives, right? Like, a lot of the things that we look at as prohibitions
[01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:31.280] are not things that are going to justify us before God. They're things that are going to hurt us if
[01:24:31.280 --> 01:24:36.160] we don't do it. In the same way that you tell your toddler, yeah, that's pretty, that's red,
[01:24:36.160 --> 01:24:41.280] but it's a fire. Don't stick your hand on that range, right? Don't touch that. That'll hurt you.
[01:24:42.160 --> 01:24:50.000] So he's trying to free us in that sense, I think. But he is not merely a good moral teacher.
[01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:58.400] He's not merely a role model. He is Lord. The name, the title, above all other names and titles.
[01:24:58.400 --> 01:25:04.880] And so these people who have their kids in school are concerned because, and they should be concerned
[01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:13.440] about this guidance counselor. What kind of guidance is she giving kids? What kind of
[01:25:13.440 --> 01:25:19.840] counsel is she giving kids? When a student selected Trump as a role model, the guidance counselor
[01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:25.200] reiterated her prohibition even more angrily than she did when one person chose Charlie Kirk,
[01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:30.640] stating that the students could not write political or religious figures on the board
[01:25:31.280 --> 01:25:35.120] and in fact excluded political and religious topics altogether.
[01:25:37.040 --> 01:25:41.200] Well, again, she doesn't know what is happening and we have the blind
[01:25:41.200 --> 01:25:46.000] leading the blind in this school. Reports note that the children picking secular,
[01:25:46.880 --> 01:25:51.280] potentially controversial figures, did not receive the same backlash from the counselor.
[01:25:52.080 --> 01:25:56.320] You know, stop and think about that secular. Where do we get that? You know, is secular
[01:25:57.280 --> 01:26:03.920] a juxtaposition to religious as we typically see? I don't see it that way.
[01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:13.920] Secular at its heart is really the same word that we use for second, right? It has as the
[01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:20.720] essence of its etymology, the idea of something that is fleeting, that is temporary, that is
[01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:27.120] passing. So when you have a secular outlook, you are focused on the things of this world that are
[01:26:27.120 --> 01:26:34.080] passing very, very quickly, as opposed to I'd say the antonym is not religious, but the antonym is
[01:26:35.120 --> 01:26:39.760] eternal. You can look at things that are eternal or you can look at things that are secular,
[01:26:39.760 --> 01:26:46.240] that are here for a second. Now, when you talk about eternal things, that's why people lumped
[01:26:46.240 --> 01:26:53.360] it in with religious as the antonym for that. But again, administrators placed a disciplinary
[01:26:53.360 --> 01:27:00.160] memo in her file, a teacher who had talked about Charlie Kirk during Constitution Day.
[01:27:00.160 --> 01:27:06.320] She used him as an example of free speech and they put a disciplinary memo in her file threatening
[01:27:06.320 --> 01:27:13.760] future action, told her that she must immediately shut down any spontaneous students' discussions
[01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:19.360] on undefined, controversial issues. So free speech is too controversial for them and we're
[01:27:19.360 --> 01:27:24.720] going to have censorship, right? The agenda is clear. The children are being bullied and extorted
[01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:35.200] into abandoning conservative ideas. Well, again, conservatism is not an idea. These people are not
[01:27:35.200 --> 01:27:43.280] really trying to conserve anything and really it is simply a reaction against change. And the problem
[01:27:43.360 --> 01:27:48.640] is that conservatives will react against changing bad things that have been put into place
[01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:56.480] by the leftists. Case in point, the schools. These parents are interested in conserving the schools.
[01:27:57.360 --> 01:28:01.840] They don't see what the schools have become. They don't see that the schools are not fit for purpose
[01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:08.320] of educating their children. That's the conservative ideal. They're forced to embrace
[01:28:08.320 --> 01:28:12.480] progressive talking points as a way to keep peace in their academic lives.

[01:29:08.400 --> 01:29:20.640] You have to understand that all education is religious. It's just whose religion is going to
[01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:28.080] be taught. This is something R.L. Dabney made a great essay about right after the Civil War.
[01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:34.320] And he pointed out that you can have education that's vocational or whatever. There's a lot
[01:29:34.320 --> 01:29:37.040] of things that you can learn. And if you fundamentally get down to it,
[01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:45.360] reading and writing and arithmetic, those are basically vocational. Those are simply the tools
[01:29:45.360 --> 01:29:53.280] that you use to get an education, the tools of learning. But the education itself cannot be
[01:29:53.280 --> 01:30:00.720] separated from values and world views and your religious beliefs. That is the core aspect of it.
[01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:06.160] And of course, the people used to understand that in America. They would talk about the pursuit of
[01:30:06.160 --> 01:30:13.120] virtue. And how do you define virtue? It really gets to the point where you can have a grammar
[01:30:13.120 --> 01:30:18.000] school where you learn some of these tools. You learn to read, write, and learn how to do math.
[01:30:19.280 --> 01:30:24.960] But then you get to the point after the grammar stage, you need to get to the point where you're
[01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:30.480] involved in rhetoric and when you're involved in critical thinking. That's when the education
[01:30:30.480 --> 01:30:38.240] begins. And we have completely lost sight of that in our schools. I know I mentioned this before,
[01:30:38.240 --> 01:30:43.360] but when I was young, Pokemon was the big thing. And there were a lot of Christian parents that
[01:30:43.360 --> 01:30:48.080] went, no, our kids are not going to have anything to do with Pokemon. The word evolution is in there
[01:30:48.080 --> 01:30:53.760] and we don't want them picking that up and believing it. And then they would send their kids
[01:30:53.760 --> 01:31:01.040] to school where evolution is taught as fact. You would be so much better off letting your children
[01:31:01.040 --> 01:31:06.320] watch Pokemon and keeping them out of the school. Same thing goes for something like Harry Potter.
[01:31:06.320 --> 01:31:10.880] Oh, we don't let them watch or read Harry Potter, but we do send them to a government indoctrination
[01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:14.400] facility where they're going to be taught things that are antithetical to everything we believe
[01:31:14.400 --> 01:31:19.680] and they're going to be taught as fact. Yeah, you're right. And we taught you evolution,
[01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:23.440] right? We did teach you Darwin's theory of evolution. We taught you that was wrong.
[01:31:25.040 --> 01:31:29.040] You don't just ignore these things, you confront them. And that's the key thing.
[01:31:29.040 --> 01:31:35.520] Conservatives need to stop this idea that we are going to have at the end of this story. The very
[01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:42.400] last thing they say in this story is we have to understand these schools are filled with leftists
[01:31:43.200 --> 01:31:50.080] who want to condition students to join the liberal hive mind. Okay, give up the slogans
[01:31:50.640 --> 01:31:56.480] and start taking control of your own children. How about that? You know, you are part of a hive
[01:31:56.480 --> 01:32:03.120] mind. If that's all you want to do is blow up the leftist minds and cause leftist tears and all the
[01:32:03.120 --> 01:32:09.680] rest of this stuff, maybe you too might be absorbed in some sort of a hive mind. So we need to get
[01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:14.000] serious about this. We need to get intentional about training up children in the way they should
[01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:19.040] go because when they're old, they will not depart from it. Do you believe that? I believe that.
[01:32:19.680 --> 01:32:27.280] And so then I see this article. This is on The Federalist. It's time to end discrimination
[01:32:27.280 --> 01:32:34.080] against homeschool graduates. And so even when you look at tech and vocational education,
[01:32:35.040 --> 01:32:41.440] it's not real, they say, unless the authorities, unless the academics and the government people
[01:32:41.440 --> 01:32:45.200] say that it's real. You got to have, you know, that piece of paper.
[01:33:04.160 --> 01:33:13.040] By the university committee, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of THD.
[01:33:14.320 --> 01:33:20.800] THD? That's Doctor of Thinkology. Some of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles
[01:33:20.800 --> 01:33:28.560] triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy, I've got a brain.
[01:33:29.440 --> 01:33:33.840] Yeah, if he didn't know, he's obviously gone to a college because they,
[01:33:35.280 --> 01:33:41.120] he's got the Pythagorean theorem wrong. It's not an isosceles triangle. I had a professor,
[01:33:42.320 --> 01:33:48.560] calculus professor, and he was from India, Mukherjee, and always got a kick out of the
[01:33:48.560 --> 01:33:56.880] way he would say, Pythagorean theorem, and he'd say theorem, you know. Professor, what was the,
[01:33:56.880 --> 01:34:02.480] what was that theory that is the basis of all trigonometry? Can you remind me what that's
[01:34:02.480 --> 01:34:10.000] called again? Pythagorean theorem, you know, so he doesn't need to speak English that well to
[01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:15.200] teach math, and he was a good math teacher, but I got a kick out of the way he pronounced that.
[01:34:15.200 --> 01:34:21.840] Anyway, so yeah, we need to get the government and these colleges to recognize that we know
[01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:27.680] something. Do we really need that? Oh, that's fine. So you've got a representative, a congressman
[01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:33.120] out of North Carolina, has put forward the Home School Graduation Recognition Act.
[01:34:34.320 --> 01:34:40.560] And, you know, we never had a formal ceremony where I presented you with a piece of paper,
[01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:47.920] Travis, you or Lance. I'm feeling deprived over here. I miss my piece of paper.
[01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:52.960] Yeah, that's right. Although most homeschool alumni transition seamlessly into
[01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:59.840] higher education, HSLD-A, Home School Legal Defense Association, assists
[01:34:59.840 --> 01:35:04.720] hundreds of families confronting discrimination annually. The overwhelming majority of institutions
[01:35:04.720 --> 01:35:09.600] and employers fully recognize and accept homeschool graduates. However, a small minority of
[01:35:10.480 --> 01:35:16.880] employers and certain institutions deny opportunities to these graduates. What kind
[01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:22.080] of opportunities here? And, you know, what I always told the boys, I said, he's not going
[01:35:22.080 --> 01:35:26.320] to hire you simply because you're homeschooled and you don't have some kind of a high school
[01:35:26.320 --> 01:35:31.680] or college degree. I said, you don't want to work for people like that. They're not going to recognize
[01:35:31.680 --> 01:35:35.840] your abilities and your contributions if they're so focused on credentials.
[01:35:36.800 --> 01:35:42.560] So just go find a real employer if you want to work for somebody. Ensure equal treatment
[01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:46.560] for homeschool graduates. We're going to have the government that's going to mandate that.
[01:35:46.560 --> 01:35:51.040] We've got to fix this. So the root of the confusion traces back to the 1990s,
[01:35:51.040 --> 01:35:55.440] when the first major wave of homeschool graduates started looking for opportunities
[01:35:55.440 --> 01:36:00.720] in higher education. What kind of opportunities is that? The opportunities to go into debt?
[01:36:02.720 --> 01:36:12.480] To not understand what the Pythagorean theorem is? I don't know. So HSLD-A collaborated with
[01:36:12.480 --> 01:36:19.680] Congress at that point in time to amend the Higher Education Act in 1998,
[01:36:20.400 --> 01:36:25.040] explicitly affirming that homeschool graduates would qualify for federal student aid. There you
[01:36:25.040 --> 01:36:32.160] go. Even though you're a homeschooler, they're going to let you go into debt to the banks and
[01:36:32.160 --> 01:36:37.680] the colleges. Isn't that nice of them? They're going to let you start out life with a massive
[01:36:37.680 --> 01:36:43.200] burden of debt for a piece of paper from the Wizard of Oz. That's what they're going to put
[01:36:43.200 --> 01:36:48.400] you in there for. Regrettably, the amendment was placed under a statutory heading designed for
[01:36:48.400 --> 01:36:55.120] individuals, quote, who are not high school graduates, a relic of the era's skepticism
[01:36:55.120 --> 01:37:00.000] towards homeschooling. And so they want to fix this and they want to compel people to
[01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:04.720] regard the homeschooling degree the same as a high school degree.
[01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:10.880] I would be insulted to see a homeschool degree the same as a high school degree
[01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:14.240] when you look at the functional illiteracy of the vast majority of people
[01:37:14.240 --> 01:37:20.080] coming out of homeschool, out of high school, I should say. I wouldn't want to be lumped with
[01:37:20.080 --> 01:37:25.840] those people. So joined by colleagues across the political spectrum. And here's an example of this,
[01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:30.480] which I think is kind of funny. One of the representatives, Lucy McBath of Georgia,
[01:37:30.480 --> 01:37:35.040] shared her personal experience as a homeschooling parent. Mary Miller of Illinois
[01:37:35.040 --> 01:37:40.400] had similar sentiments. Committee Chairman Tim Wahlberg himself, a homeschooling father of three,
[01:37:40.400 --> 01:37:46.000] also spoke in favor. Finally, Representative Bob Onder of Missouri highlighted his family's
[01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:50.640] homeschooling journey while advocating for the measure. So these are older people. They haven't
[01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:57.120] been homeschooled themselves. But again, this testifies to the fact that A, it's popular,
[01:37:57.120 --> 01:38:06.320] and B, it doesn't hinder people. So again, like the scarecrow, they don't need validation. It's
[01:38:06.320 --> 01:38:11.840] fine if you want to get validation. I'm not saying that you shouldn't have that. And if you want to
[01:38:12.400 --> 01:38:17.040] make yourself an indentured servant to the banks in order to get that validation, that piece of
[01:38:17.040 --> 01:38:21.120] paper, that's the career choice that you need to make. But you might want to think about that and
[01:38:21.120 --> 01:38:26.640] think about whether it makes any economic sense to go to college anymore. And also what they're
[01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:33.680] going to be putting you into. I did everything I could to discourage and hamper the boys from
[01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:42.000] going to college. Because I had had situations with Marxist atheist professors who were wise
[01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:48.160] in their own eyes. And although it didn't affect me, it made me angry. Actually, it hardened my
[01:38:48.160 --> 01:38:56.000] values. But again, I always take the position not to lead them into temptation. So I didn't want to
[01:38:56.000 --> 01:39:01.280] lead them into a college education. I didn't see any value in it anymore because of the
[01:39:01.280 --> 01:39:05.200] tuition rates and the rest of the stuff that was happening there. But that's your own personal
[01:39:05.200 --> 01:39:12.960] choice. Your mileage may vary. So again, they want to get validation from the government.
[01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:20.160] Meanwhile, we got up to 25% of US colleges may close soon, says Brandeis president at a meeting
[01:39:20.160 --> 01:39:25.840] here and what he's saying to them. His name is Arthur Levine. He is the president of Brandeis
[01:39:25.840 --> 01:39:30.640] University. What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here. Do you like playing casino style games like

[01:40:27.440 --> 01:40:33.600] He predicted 20 to 25 percent of U.S. colleges may close soon due to disruptions in higher
[01:40:33.600 --> 01:40:37.680] education. And what he's really talking about is the fact that people realize that
[01:40:38.640 --> 01:40:44.400] it's a participation trophy. The grading is not, you know, both the entrance
[01:40:45.360 --> 01:40:51.840] qualifications have been set aside by many of these colleges, as well as the actual evaluation
[01:40:51.840 --> 01:40:57.440] of the grades. They don't mean anything anymore. And much of what they teach you is irrelevant
[01:40:57.440 --> 01:41:03.440] in the real world. And so he said the grading systems lack any meaning. They don't have clear
[01:41:03.440 --> 01:41:12.560] standards. And so there is also grade inflation and academic, no academic rigor. And again,
[01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:17.360] but as long as you pay these people, they will give you that piece of paper.
[01:41:21.920 --> 01:41:29.680] So they will give you all of that stuff and split the society up rather than unify it.
[01:41:30.480 --> 01:41:35.280] Our whole society is undergoing a transformation, he said, pointing to the shift from a national
[01:41:35.280 --> 01:41:42.080] industrial economy to a global knowledge-based one. Now stop and think about this. And he does
[01:41:42.080 --> 01:41:47.280] mention that the model of higher education is really kind of a product of the industrial
[01:41:47.280 --> 01:41:52.000] revolution. And it really is. It's like an assembly line. It's like a one size fits all,
[01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:57.280] but it's actually that one size doesn't fit anybody. And he's not the first one to point
[01:41:57.280 --> 01:42:02.880] that out. You had John Taylor Gatto, who was New York State teacher of the year a couple of times,
[01:42:02.880 --> 01:42:07.360] and he was a big advocate for homeschooling. And one of the things that he said was,
[01:42:07.440 --> 01:42:11.280] look at how it really is set up like an assembly line. Even the day-to-day
[01:42:12.400 --> 01:42:16.720] operation of the schools is set up like an assembly line. He said, you get started on
[01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:21.040] something and you're not able to go too far in it before the bell rings and you got to go do
[01:42:21.040 --> 01:42:26.240] something completely different. And what John Taylor Gatto did was he would organize field
[01:42:26.240 --> 01:42:31.360] trips for his students and he would go with them and they would go out into the real world. And
[01:42:31.360 --> 01:42:36.320] it was really more like an apprentice type of observation thing. And so he wanted to expose
[01:42:36.320 --> 01:42:41.280] them to real world things rather than have them cut off and isolated and grow up in this
[01:42:42.000 --> 01:42:49.920] artificial environment where they are socialized by everybody that's their own age. He wanted to
[01:42:49.920 --> 01:42:56.480] have a very different system and he eventually just walked away from it. And so now the president of
[01:42:56.480 --> 01:43:02.560] Brandeis University is saying that as well. If you have a global knowledge-based system,
[01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:08.000] when you stop and think about it, all the information that you need to teach yourself
[01:43:08.000 --> 01:43:13.760] to do anything is all on the internet. You don't need a teacher or a guide. And if you do need a
[01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:18.800] teacher or a guide, you can easily find somebody who is an expert in whatever it is that you want
[01:43:18.800 --> 01:43:26.160] to learn. And so what is the purpose of these institutions? They really have become like an
[01:43:26.160 --> 01:43:32.320] industrial revolution artifact if you look at it that way. The problem that we have is that we
[01:43:32.320 --> 01:43:37.680] have so much information. There's a lot of things out there, as I said before. Education is simply
[01:43:37.680 --> 01:43:46.480] about how do I do X. It's also about the wisdom to know whether you should do X or not. And so
[01:43:46.480 --> 01:43:53.840] you need to have some wisdom in terms of consuming this information. There is so much information out
[01:43:53.840 --> 01:43:59.440] there and that's really going to be on steroids with artificial intelligence. And so you need to
[01:43:59.520 --> 01:44:05.040] have some wisdom and some discernment in how you evaluate that information, how you use that
[01:44:05.040 --> 01:44:13.040] information in things that are not simply technical or vocational. A key component of the proposal is
[01:44:13.040 --> 01:44:18.000] a shift towards competency-based education that measures students' skills and knowledge instead
[01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:26.160] of relying solely on grades. And that's true of potential employees. When somebody is going to
[01:44:26.160 --> 01:44:29.280] look at it and say, well, I don't know. You don't have a piece of paper from a high school
[01:44:29.280 --> 01:44:32.960] or a college or something. I don't think I'm going to hire you. If they're looking, however,
[01:44:33.920 --> 01:44:38.000] going to give you a try and evaluate your character, your work ethics, and your ability,
[01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:41.920] that's a very different thing. You want to work for somebody like that. You don't want to work
[01:44:41.920 --> 01:44:48.720] for somebody that's just like, let me look at your CV and then make a decision about that.
[01:44:48.720 --> 01:44:57.040] And you're either there or not. So again, I remember when, you know, 40 years or so ago
[01:44:58.240 --> 01:45:03.200] when I was in the workforce, there were a couple of companies when they went out and hired
[01:45:03.200 --> 01:45:09.680] programmers, they specifically did not want people who were computer science majors or
[01:45:09.680 --> 01:45:15.600] engineering majors or whatever. They wanted people who were liberal arts majors that had studied
[01:45:15.600 --> 01:45:23.680] classic literature and things like that, people who had been trained to think critically. And they
[01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:32.720] said, well, if this person has been trained to think about things critically, then we can train
[01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:38.080] them in programming. And we prefer to be the ones to train them in programming because we found that
[01:45:38.080 --> 01:45:42.560] a lot of people come in with computer science degrees or engineering degrees. They have been
[01:45:42.560 --> 01:45:46.640] mistrained in terms of the way they approach this. So if we've got somebody who has
[01:45:47.280 --> 01:45:53.280] shown that they can learn a subject and they can think critically, let's bring them in and expose
[01:45:53.280 --> 01:45:57.920] them to the technology and we'll teach them to do the technical side of this in the way that we want.
[01:45:57.920 --> 01:46:02.800] I thought that was always a very interesting approach. Are you in Texas and are you tired
[01:46:02.800 --> 01:46:07.440] of not being able to play blackjack roulette and even craps? Well, guess what? I got the solution

[01:46:39.280 --> 01:46:46.400] you could multiply the cash by 30, 50, 100, or even 200 times. And when you multiply the cash,
[01:46:46.400 --> 01:46:51.600] you multiply the celebration with top prizes from 60,000 up to a million dollars. It's the
[01:46:51.600 --> 01:46:56.560] easiest way to multiply your luck and enter for a chance to win a VIP iHeart experience.

[01:47:01.840 --> 01:47:05.840] And that would be especially true today when you're looking at artificial intelligence.
[01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:14.640] You are trying to communicate with a prompt what you want. And so it's a very different way
[01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:18.800] of interacting with things. So they said they addressed the concerns about grade inflation,
[01:47:18.800 --> 01:47:23.840] saying grades have lost much of their meaning. And they've lost their meaning from the very
[01:47:23.840 --> 01:47:28.160] beginning when they don't care about your SAT scores or any of the rest of this stuff.
[01:47:29.040 --> 01:47:36.320] And so in many cases, what this has become is nothing other than a participation trophy
[01:47:36.320 --> 01:47:43.360] for indebtedness. Another example, film school. I remember a director saying,
[01:47:44.480 --> 01:47:51.280] yeah, I like film school graduates, but I like them as production assistants because they have
[01:47:51.280 --> 01:47:56.160] shown that they will do whatever you tell them to do, no matter how ridiculous or stupid it is.
[01:47:56.720 --> 01:48:00.480] And they won't question it. But he goes, when I want somebody who is creative,
[01:48:01.360 --> 01:48:06.960] I'll get somebody who has not gone to film school, somebody who has worked in the industry
[01:48:07.840 --> 01:48:13.200] and has shown me what they can do. I also thought that was an interesting approach. Anyway,
[01:48:13.200 --> 01:48:18.560] Levine also addressed the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses because he's Jewish. Again,
[01:48:19.280 --> 01:48:24.720] this is the woke mind virus of the right. Don't criticize a foreign government
[01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:30.560] because you might hurt the feelings of somebody who identifies with that foreign government.
[01:48:31.440 --> 01:48:35.440] We've got a lot of Jewish people who don't identify with Israel. And then we've got a
[01:48:35.440 --> 01:48:42.480] lot of Jewish people who say that they are trans Israelis. They identify with Israel,
[01:48:42.480 --> 01:48:46.720] and that's it. So don't criticize them. You'll hurt their feelings. And don't criticize the
[01:48:46.720 --> 01:48:50.400] policies of that government because you'll hurt their feelings. And we need to get over that as
[01:48:50.400 --> 01:48:54.880] well. But here's the key thing. And this is the article that I really wanted to get to. This is
[01:48:56.160 --> 01:49:07.200] actually a zero hedge article that was taken from an X post, an X article. And it was a chart that
[01:49:07.200 --> 01:49:16.400] was put up based on some research showing over time how women had drifted very leftward, radically
[01:49:17.360 --> 01:49:21.280] and that men, although they kind of trended up a little bit, they would have periods where
[01:49:21.280 --> 01:49:25.920] they go back down. And they have basically averaged out. They basically stayed where they
[01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:30.880] were for a long period of time, whereas women have radically moved to the left. They said,
[01:49:30.880 --> 01:49:37.280] why is that? Why have young women moved left while young men have basically stayed the same
[01:49:38.080 --> 01:49:43.200] as all this is happening? And so when they started looking at the question, Bill Ackman
[01:49:43.200 --> 01:49:49.200] retweeted this in this post that showed the measurement there. And his comment was simply,
[01:49:49.200 --> 01:49:55.520] why? Why has this happened? Well, this person said, good question. Most answers that I've seen are
[01:49:55.520 --> 01:50:01.760] either, well, this is tribal, women or emotional, or it's surface level. It's social media. Social
[01:50:01.760 --> 01:50:08.480] media is bad. Said, but what we've been told about radicalization for the last 10 years is exactly
[01:50:08.480 --> 01:50:14.720] the opposite of what has happened in reality. We've been told that men are increasingly
[01:50:14.720 --> 01:50:22.480] radicalized to the right and that this is a bad thing. When actuality, what is really happening
[01:50:22.480 --> 01:50:28.480] is that women have been radicalized to the left and men have stayed basically where they are.
[01:50:29.600 --> 01:50:36.400] And so they'll tell you that this shows that women are getting enlightenment and they are
[01:50:36.400 --> 01:50:41.440] progressing. But what the graph really shows is that they have been captured.
[01:50:42.720 --> 01:50:46.960] And there's another way that men have been captured as well and all this. And the article
[01:50:46.960 --> 01:50:51.920] gets into this is that the pattern is not simply American, however, it's also global.
[01:50:52.880 --> 01:50:58.880] The Financial Times documented last year that the gender ideology gap is widening across dozens
[01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:06.560] of countries simultaneously. The UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Poland, Brazil,
[01:51:06.560 --> 01:51:14.000] Tunisia, young women are moving left on social issues. Young men are either stable or they are
[01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:25.120] drifting to the right. South Korea is the extreme case. Young Korean men are now overwhelmingly
[01:51:25.120 --> 01:51:30.240] conservative and young Korean women are overwhelmingly progressive. The gap there
[01:51:30.240 --> 01:51:36.240] is even wider than in the US. Contributing factors besides mandatory military service for men,
[01:51:37.280 --> 01:51:43.360] 18 months of your life is taken by the state, while women are exempt, there's also brutal
[01:51:43.360 --> 01:51:51.120] economic competition, but the timing of divergence still tracks along with smartphone adoption.
[01:51:52.080 --> 01:52:00.560] Whatever is causing this, it's not simply American. The machinery is global. And so women evolved in
[01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:07.840] an environment where social exclusion carried enormous survival costs. And that's one of the
[01:52:07.840 --> 01:52:13.440] things, somebody asked me what my favorite movie is and I said, well, if I was honest about it,
[01:52:13.440 --> 01:52:17.440] I have to say this year has been Pride and Prejudice because I watched it so much when
[01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:25.120] I was in the hospital. The contemporary movies were just horrible and it had very nice
[01:52:25.120 --> 01:52:29.040] cinematography, very nice music and it was very restful to sit there. I couldn't really
[01:52:29.680 --> 01:52:36.000] think much about anything and so I just enjoyed the cinematography and the music and then after
[01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:41.920] a while I started paying attention to the plot, which is secondary. What I found interesting
[01:52:41.920 --> 01:52:49.120] about it was that Jane Austen was kind of an emerging feminist. There's an ongoing theme
[01:52:49.120 --> 01:52:54.960] in the sense that in the society at that time, women had no value if they were not married and
[01:52:54.960 --> 01:53:01.920] so they're all doing all these moves and parents are trying to get them married off to this person
[01:53:01.920 --> 01:53:07.440] or that person because that's their future and so all evolved around that and that was so antithetical
[01:53:07.440 --> 01:53:13.200] to our society where marriage is now despised, especially by women, but I think it began with
[01:53:13.200 --> 01:53:19.760] that and although I could see that that was a system that she didn't like and she was pushing
[01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:26.000] back against, it was still refreshing to see a society like that that was trying to bring
[01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:32.480] people together, trying to produce families, trying to create relationships and we've abandoned all
[01:53:32.480 --> 01:53:37.760] of that stuff. I also guarantee we're Jane Austen to see where this sort of ideology led. You'd be
[01:53:37.760 --> 01:53:48.240] like, never mind, pack it up. Ignore everything in my book. Go back. I agree. Men faced different
[01:53:48.240 --> 01:53:54.400] pressures than women, right? So exploration, combat, you had to tolerate being alone,
[01:53:54.960 --> 01:53:59.440] disliked outside of the group for extended periods, whereas women were trying to
[01:53:59.440 --> 01:54:03.680] get everybody to like them and fit into society and that type of thing. Men could
[01:54:03.680 --> 01:54:10.800] handle temporary exclusion without falling apart, had more options, more risk taking,
[01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:18.720] more independence, more ability to leave bad situations and so again this shows up in
[01:54:18.720 --> 01:54:25.600] personality research. David Schmidt's work across 55 different cultures found the same pattern
[01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:32.880] everywhere. Women average higher agreeableness, higher neuroticism meaning sensitivity to negative
[01:54:32.880 --> 01:54:39.120] stimuli including social rejection cues. Men average higher tolerance for disagreement and
[01:54:39.120 --> 01:54:45.040] social conflict. The differences aren't huge but they are consistent across every culture that was
[01:54:45.040 --> 01:54:52.880] studied and so when you look at where we are today, everybody is now however becoming, you know,
[01:54:53.840 --> 01:54:59.360] the women were there to kind of pull things together and there was that adhesive quality
[01:54:59.360 --> 01:55:04.000] that was put there by women who would build the home, build the family and that type of thing
[01:55:04.960 --> 01:55:12.800] and now everybody has become atomized and isolated. How do we even talk about culture, right?
[01:55:12.800 --> 01:55:19.280] Culture is a group think, a group thing, not a group think, but it is a group thing. It is a set
[01:55:19.280 --> 01:55:25.760] of common values, it's a community, it's all these other things like that. You can't have culture if
[01:55:25.760 --> 01:55:30.960] everybody is atomized and doing their own thing. You know, I even think about this in terms of
[01:55:30.960 --> 01:55:36.720] music, you know, because we had in the middle 20th century we had these mass media communications,
[01:55:36.720 --> 01:55:41.360] everybody was listening to the same music, you know, love it or hate it, you heard the same songs
[01:55:41.920 --> 01:55:48.240] and now everybody's got their own personal playlist that's there. How does that evolve into a
[01:55:48.240 --> 01:55:54.080] culture? I don't know, it has to be a shared thing in some way or the other, but they point out,
[01:55:54.080 --> 01:55:57.840] so again we're getting back to what is causing this? What is the mechanism that is here?
[01:55:59.040 --> 01:56:04.560] So the same environment is going to affect men and women differently because they are different
[01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:09.920] and it's not just physically different, it's not just different skeletons, it's different
[01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:17.040] approaches to things and that has always been consistent over time. Well social media is a
[01:56:17.040 --> 01:56:22.560] consensus engine. You can see what everybody believes in real time, that's what it was designed
[01:56:22.560 --> 01:56:27.920] to do by the way, by government. They wanted to see what everybody was thinking in real time,
[01:56:28.560 --> 01:56:32.880] they wanted to see if their propaganda was working. I've pointed that out many times.
[01:56:32.880 --> 01:56:39.200] So now your government and corporate masters can see what everybody thinks and they can see it in
[01:56:39.200 --> 01:56:45.920] real time. Disagreement is visible, it's measurable, it's punishable at scale. The tribe used to be
[01:56:45.920 --> 01:56:51.680] about 150 people, but now it's everyone you ever met plus a world of strangers who are watching.
[01:56:52.560 --> 01:57:00.320] Look at the timeline. Facebook launched in 2004 but was college only until 2006. The iPhone was
[01:57:00.320 --> 01:57:08.320] launched in June of 2007, Instagram in 2010. Suddenly social media was in your pocket and it
[01:57:08.320 --> 01:57:15.760] was in your face all day, every day and this is where we start to see the radical departure
[01:57:15.760 --> 01:57:23.040] rapidly going up with women globally, not just to the United States, going up being radicalized by
[01:57:23.040 --> 01:57:29.680] this. Women were roughly stable throughout the early 2000s. The acceleration starts about 2007,
[01:57:29.680 --> 01:57:38.800] 2008. The curve steepens through the 2010s as smartphones became ubiquitous and platforms
[01:57:38.800 --> 01:57:45.440] became more sophisticated. You know what? It sucks to be bored, but when I get on my phone and play

[01:58:42.400 --> 01:58:47.760] are more liberal, but the radicalization coincides with the rise in smartphone adoptions.
[01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:51.760] And what you can see from the graph, as you can see, you know, when they're graphing conservative
[01:58:51.760 --> 01:58:56.400] liberal values, you can see that right there. There was always a spread between men and women,
[01:58:56.400 --> 01:59:02.240] but you see this radical divergence after the smartphone and social media stuff kicks in.
[01:59:03.120 --> 01:59:08.720] The machine turned on and the capture began. The mental health collapse with teenage girls
[01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:14.000] tracks almost perfectly with smartphone adoption, with a stronger effect for girls than for boys.
[01:59:15.760 --> 01:59:20.720] The same vulnerability that made social exclusion more costly in ancestral environments
[01:59:21.360 --> 01:59:27.680] made the new consensus engines more capturing. The machine wasn't designed to capture women
[01:59:27.680 --> 01:59:35.280] specifically. It was designed to capture attention, but it captures people more susceptible to
[01:59:35.280 --> 01:59:41.600] consensus pressure more effectively. Women are more susceptible on average, so it captured them
[01:59:41.600 --> 01:59:48.640] more. And so again, we can look at the institutional industrial schools
[01:59:49.440 --> 01:59:55.200] that had already shown this type of thing. We knew this from the very beginning when we
[01:59:55.200 --> 02:00:01.040] schooled the kids. They were giving lots of young boys Ritalin all the time,
[02:00:01.040 --> 02:00:06.000] because the girls were very happy to sit there and put all their pencils in a row on the desk,
[02:00:06.000 --> 02:00:09.600] and they could sit in the desk all day and do stuff like that. But the guys
[02:00:10.400 --> 02:00:13.680] were getting very fidgety. They had to get out. They had to do things. There's just
[02:00:13.680 --> 02:00:20.880] fundamental difference that was there. And so they are always more susceptible to that type of
[02:00:20.880 --> 02:00:26.400] thing. Institutions respond to this. I also would like to point out this is something that's been
[02:00:26.400 --> 02:00:31.600] known for decades. It was just common sense for a long time. That's right. This is why the vast
[02:00:31.600 --> 02:00:37.200] majority of advertising money that's spent is directed at women, because they're more prone,
[02:00:37.200 --> 02:00:44.400] they're more likely to be manipulated or believe in ad buy into it than men are. That's again.
[02:00:45.040 --> 02:00:49.840] Well, they want to be acceptable, right? They're worried that they're not going to be accepted
[02:00:49.840 --> 02:00:56.000] by the group. And so there's that susceptibility to being manipulated that is there. Women are
[02:00:56.000 --> 02:01:01.200] weaker and inevitably seen as victims in most scenarios. So the institutional response is to
[02:01:01.200 --> 02:01:06.400] make the environment safer, which means that we have to remove conflict, which means that
[02:01:06.400 --> 02:01:12.240] we have to censor disagreement, which means that the consensus then is strengthened.
[02:01:13.040 --> 02:01:19.600] So the counter arguments get removed or deplatformed, and the loop closes. So universities
[02:01:19.600 --> 02:01:27.440] flipped 60% female while simultaneously becoming a progressive monoculture. The institution young
[02:01:27.440 --> 02:01:34.560] women trust the most during the years their worldview forms feeds them into a single ideology
[02:01:34.560 --> 02:01:40.320] with no serious opposition. And so then, for years, they are surrounded by peers who all
[02:01:40.320 --> 02:01:44.480] believe the same thing. You have professors who all believe the same thing. Their reading lists
[02:01:44.480 --> 02:01:51.600] are pointing to the same thing. Disagreement is not even rare. It's socially punished. You learn
[02:01:51.600 --> 02:01:59.760] to pattern match the acceptable opinions and to perform them. Then they graduate into fields that
[02:01:59.840 --> 02:02:05.360] are typically going to be female dominated, things like human resources or media or education or
[02:02:05.360 --> 02:02:12.080] health care, nonprofits where the monoculture continues. So from 18 to 35, many women never
[02:02:12.080 --> 02:02:17.360] encounter sustained disagreement from people that they respect. The feedback loop never breaks.
[02:02:18.560 --> 02:02:25.920] And so this explains one of the reasons why when they encounter a disagreement,
[02:02:26.880 --> 02:02:32.400] the response is just outrage. You know, I can't believe that anybody would ever think that. I
[02:02:32.400 --> 02:02:37.680] mean, you know, nobody that I've ever known thinks anything other than what we all think together,
[02:02:37.680 --> 02:02:44.560] right? Men took different paths. They got into the trades and engineering and the finance military,
[02:02:44.560 --> 02:02:50.720] fields where results matter more than consensus, fields where disagreement is tolerated, even
[02:02:50.800 --> 02:02:55.840] rewarded. The monoculture didn't capture them because they weren't in the institutions being
[02:02:55.840 --> 02:03:00.320] captured, mostly because they were kicked out of those institutions. But that's a different story,
[02:03:00.320 --> 02:03:06.240] says this person. Then you had the collapse of marriage. You know, the thing that would have
[02:03:06.240 --> 02:03:11.280] astounded actually even Jane Austen, I think. And this probably matters more than most people think.
[02:03:12.240 --> 02:03:19.200] Single women interact with government more as a provider of services. But married women interact
[02:03:19.200 --> 02:03:25.440] with government more as a taker of taxes. So one group is going to see them as a provider,
[02:03:25.440 --> 02:03:30.640] the other is going to see them as a taker. The marriage gap in voting is one of the most
[02:03:30.640 --> 02:03:36.320] consistent predictors. Marriage rates have collapsed precisely during this period of divergence.
[02:03:38.000 --> 02:03:44.160] Men saw marriage collapse from a different standpoint. You know what? It sucks to be bored.
[02:03:44.160 --> 02:03:50.400] But when I get on my phone and play real casino games on spinquest.com, the time flies by. That

[02:04:39.040 --> 02:04:45.120] Must be 18 or older. Play responsibly. They saw family courts, child support, alimony.
[02:04:45.840 --> 02:04:53.280] The rational response was skepticism of expanding government power. The algorithms operate for,
[02:04:53.920 --> 02:04:57.520] so even though it's the same phenomenon, you had different perspectives on this.
[02:04:58.240 --> 02:05:05.200] The algorithms, meanwhile, are optimizing for engagement. Engagement means emotional response.
[02:05:05.760 --> 02:05:14.000] Engagement means spending time on the platform. Clicking, sharing, commenting. Women respond more
[02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:19.040] strongly to emotional content on average. They're more empathetic. They can be more easily manipulated
[02:05:19.040 --> 02:05:26.080] with sad stories. That higher neuroticism again, the higher sensitivity to negative stimuli.
[02:05:26.640 --> 02:05:31.840] The machine learned this and so it fed them content that was calibrated to the response patterns.
[02:05:32.800 --> 02:05:39.600] Fear, outrage, moral panic, stories about danger and injustice and threat and wars and victims.
[02:05:40.400 --> 02:05:46.960] Men got different feeds because they responded to different triggers. The algorithm doesn't really
[02:05:46.960 --> 02:05:54.080] have a gender agenda. It has an engagement agenda, but the engagement looks different
[02:05:54.080 --> 02:06:00.160] by demographic. So the feeds diverged. You know, we've seen this type of thing when we talk about AI
[02:06:00.160 --> 02:06:04.000] psychosis. You know, people like the story I had the other day, a guy who
[02:06:06.560 --> 02:06:13.040] was just retired and he had a very stable family life, raised his three or four kids and then
[02:06:13.600 --> 02:06:18.720] they retire and he's been the tech field and you would think that he would even have some skepticism
[02:06:18.720 --> 02:06:23.840] about software that's there, but he got captured by this AI. How did he get captured by it?
[02:06:24.560 --> 02:06:32.400] Well, it gradually began to feed some, you know, it would notice that he was on some tangent or
[02:06:32.400 --> 02:06:38.000] something and it would reinforce that in order to keep him engaged. And that's a key part of
[02:06:38.000 --> 02:06:44.480] these chat programs. They look, they can assess where you are and they give feedback to them.
[02:06:44.480 --> 02:06:50.960] So that creates a psychosis even in many people who didn't have anything that could be discerned
[02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:56.640] by anyone. It was so small if it was even there, but it reinforces and it magnifies that. And it
[02:06:56.640 --> 02:07:03.280] did that in the case of many adults and a lot of children. That's a real danger with it. So anyway,
[02:07:03.280 --> 02:07:09.760] women ended up in information environments who were optimized for emotional activation. Men found
[02:07:09.760 --> 02:07:16.480] alternatives like podcasts, forums, cars, wars, the manosphere, et cetera. Feminism told women
[02:07:16.480 --> 02:07:23.360] their instincts and biology were oppressive and wrong. Wanting children was brainwashing.
[02:07:23.360 --> 02:07:29.200] Wanting a provider husband was internalized misogyny. Their natural desires were false
[02:07:29.200 --> 02:07:35.200] consciousness installed by a patriarchy and many of them believed it. They built their lives around
[02:07:35.200 --> 02:07:42.400] it. Career first, independence, freedom from traditional constraints. But now they're 35,
[02:07:42.400 --> 02:07:48.720] unmarried, measuring declining fertility against career achievements. And this is the trap.
[02:07:49.680 --> 02:07:56.960] The sunk cost of admitting the ideology failed is enormous. This is the same type of thing we see
[02:07:56.960 --> 02:08:02.160] with MAGA, right? They've poured so much energy and things like that into this that even the
[02:08:02.160 --> 02:08:07.520] people I talked to that got caught up in this January the sixth thing paid a tremendous penalty.
[02:08:08.080 --> 02:08:14.320] They couldn't move away from Trump. The sunk costs were just too much. They didn't want to
[02:08:14.320 --> 02:08:21.520] admit to themselves that they had followed a lie and a liar. They didn't want to move away from
[02:08:21.520 --> 02:08:26.240] that. So they doubled down. Same thing is true with this. He said you'd have to admit that you
[02:08:26.240 --> 02:08:32.000] had wasted your fertile years on a lie. You'd have to admit that the women who ignored the ideology
[02:08:32.000 --> 02:08:37.440] and married young were right. You'd have to admit that your mother was right. I think you can see
[02:08:37.440 --> 02:08:44.000] why there's so little defection. Not because the ideology is true, but because the psychological
[02:08:45.120 --> 02:08:52.480] cost of living is higher than the psychological cost of staying. It's easier to double down.
[02:08:52.480 --> 02:08:59.600] It's easier to believe the problem is that society hasn't changed enough yet. This is the same thing
[02:08:59.600 --> 02:09:06.080] we see with the left and the right cults, especially with MAGA. They look at all of these
[02:09:06.080 --> 02:09:11.680] different issues that are out there. It's just that Trump is right. It's going to eventually
[02:09:11.680 --> 02:09:20.480] work out that way. I didn't follow the Pied Piper down to prison. Sorry to cut you off,
[02:09:20.480 --> 02:09:24.080] but I know I've mentioned this before, but going to college, this is where the propaganda kicks
[02:09:24.080 --> 02:09:29.840] into high gear. You are literally buying in. You are paying thousands, tens of thousands,
[02:09:29.840 --> 02:09:34.720] perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on where you go, to be fed these lies.
[02:09:35.280 --> 02:09:40.560] It's not just the psychological cost. You have to admit that you wasted all those years and all
[02:09:40.560 --> 02:09:46.880] that money. It's the cost. At this point, you've already invested a lot of money,
[02:09:46.880 --> 02:09:51.920] and so you want to make this thing work. You can even see that when people get a lemon car.
[02:09:53.120 --> 02:09:56.560] I've had that happen to me personally. It's like, well, I know this car is going to work.
[02:09:56.560 --> 02:10:00.320] This is just a temporary thing. After a while, you've got to point out, this thing's just a
[02:10:00.320 --> 02:10:04.880] piece of junk. I've got to get rid of it. It's an albatross around my neck. Anyway,
[02:10:07.680 --> 02:10:15.360] the issue is that you've got different failure modes. He said, men were not immune to capture.
[02:10:16.320 --> 02:10:22.000] They were just captured differently. Women got ideological conformity. Men got withdrawal.
[02:10:23.040 --> 02:10:28.960] They moved into things like porn or video games or gambling apps or outrage content.
[02:10:29.760 --> 02:10:36.640] The male capture wasn't, believe this, or face social death. It was, here's an endless supply
[02:10:36.640 --> 02:10:42.560] of dopamine, so you never have to build anything. And so different machines, different failure modes,
[02:10:42.560 --> 02:10:48.960] women got compliance, men got passivity. The male line on that graph, staying flat through 2020,
[02:10:48.960 --> 02:10:55.600] isn't necessarily healthy. It might just be a different kind of sickness. Men checking out
[02:10:56.240 --> 02:11:01.680] instead of being pulled in. Or it might be that everyone and everything moved more left.
[02:11:02.320 --> 02:11:09.200] It's just that women moved lefter. The male line is not flat anymore either.
[02:11:10.720 --> 02:11:14.320] The data from 2024 shows that young men are now shifting to the right.
[02:11:15.120 --> 02:11:21.520] Young men are now actively moving more conservatively as a reaction to all of this.
[02:11:21.920 --> 02:11:27.920] Women got captured first. The capture was fast between 2007 and 2020. Men resisted longer,
[02:11:28.720 --> 02:11:35.520] and they were captured in a different way. But as the gap became visible and culturally salient,
[02:11:36.160 --> 02:11:41.920] as men are the problem, they are now pushing back on this. And so we haven't really gotten
[02:11:41.920 --> 02:11:44.960] finished with this. I hate to stop in the middle of this. The bottom line
[02:11:45.120 --> 02:11:51.520] of this. The bottom line is that now the passivity is turning into active opposition.
[02:11:52.240 --> 02:11:58.000] People like Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes. That's what this little episode they did with Heil Hitler
[02:11:58.000 --> 02:12:03.920] was really all about. Now these guys are doing it because they want money, but they know how to push
[02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:10.080] these levers just as if they were AI. And here's the bottom line. I'm going to jump to the bottom
[02:12:10.080 --> 02:12:16.000] of this. The reality is that all of these factors that are pulling these things together,
[02:12:16.000 --> 02:12:20.800] all these things that are atomizing us and putting us at war with each other, whether it's left,
[02:12:20.800 --> 02:12:25.680] right, male, female, all these different things, it's only going to be exacerbated
[02:12:26.400 --> 02:12:31.680] by artificial intelligence because artificial intelligence is again going to be optimized
[02:12:32.480 --> 02:12:38.720] to engage and to monopolize your time. And so this is what we're looking at in the future.
[02:12:38.720 --> 02:12:43.200] How do we pull out of this? We have to see something that is different than this,
[02:12:43.200 --> 02:12:48.640] something that is transcendent. We have to see the long-term timeline. We have to see, I think,
[02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:56.400] the value of age-old cultures and traditions, and we have to embrace that. Most importantly,
[02:12:56.400 --> 02:13:02.400] we have to embrace what is above culture, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. When we abandon that,
[02:13:02.400 --> 02:13:07.040] we're vulnerable. We're vulnerable to all these different things, and there'll be all kinds of
[02:13:07.040 --> 02:13:12.640] deceptions and manipulations that will be coming. Well, that's all the time we've got for today.
[02:13:12.640 --> 02:13:15.920] Sorry about that, and I wanted to get much further and had a lot of other things I wanted to say,
[02:13:15.920 --> 02:13:19.440] but we'll cut it at this point. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
[02:13:32.960 --> 02:13:35.040] The Common Man
[02:13:38.320 --> 02:13:43.360] They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and
[02:13:43.360 --> 02:13:50.880] control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
[02:13:52.400 --> 02:13:56.080] They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary,
[02:13:57.040 --> 02:14:01.600] but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
[02:14:03.760 --> 02:14:07.360] That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
[02:14:08.160 --> 02:14:14.320] Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
[02:14:14.320 --> 02:14:21.440] everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
[02:14:21.440 --> 02:14:26.320] what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find

[02:15:35.280 --> 02:15:41.680] Rain loves it when the forecast says 60% chance and you forgot your umbrella. Rain loves turning
[02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:46.400] trails into slip and slides, making mud pies on the pitcher's mound, and turning camp fires
[02:15:46.400 --> 02:15:51.600] into camp fizzles. In fact, there's only one thing rain doesn't love. All-weather gear from
[02:15:51.600 --> 02:15:57.040] Academy Sports and Outdoors, like new Columbia waterproof rain jackets and dry Tortuga's boots,
[02:15:57.040 --> 02:16:02.720] so the rain can do what it loves and you can't too. Academy. Fun can't lose.
