The Daily Wire has exclusively obtained

0:02

a newsletter from the office of

0:04

Joe Biden's National Intelligence Director. Joe

0:07

Biden, or as he's sometimes called the big

0:09

guy, is of course you know the rhododendron

0:12

currently running the free world on behalf of

0:14

the Chinese, which is only

0:16

fair since they've paid him a bundle in bribes. His

0:19

Director of National Intelligence is Avril

0:21

Haines, whose pronouns are Wang Si,

0:23

Ko, Mao, Soei, Fang, Fang, Chu,

0:25

and who served under CIA Director

0:27

John Brennan, a communist, when the

0:29

president was Barack Obama, an anti-American

0:32

globalist. But not to

0:34

worry, during her confirmation hearing, DNI Fang

0:36

Fang reassured Congress there were only some

0:38

areas where she wanted to cooperate with

0:41

the Chinese, like in collecting the big

0:43

guy's money and depositing it in one

0:45

of his 20 shell companies. So he

0:47

has plausible deniability while he's handing our

0:50

border to Mexican cartels who kill Americans

0:52

with fentanyl, then launder their profits with

0:54

the Chinese mafia inside the U.S. What

0:58

was I talking about? Oh yeah,

1:00

according to the Daily Wire's crack

1:02

investigative reporter, Spencer Crack, DNI Fang

1:04

Fang's office puts out a newsletter

1:06

called the DIVE, D-I-V-E, which

1:09

guides the FBI, CIA, and NSA

1:11

on matters of diversity, equity, and

1:13

inclusion, DEI, so that our intelligence

1:15

officers can better keep America free

1:18

for the untraceable banking of Chinese bribes.

1:21

According to DNI Fang Fang's newsletter,

1:23

when American intelligence officers are reporting

1:25

on terrorist threats, they should stop

1:28

describing, I'm not making this up,

1:30

they should stop describing the terrorists with

1:32

phrases that may be hurtful to

1:34

Muslim Americans. Now, the

1:37

Daily Wire's crack reporter, Crack, has

1:39

also obtained secret files that describe

1:41

a real-life incident in which DNI's

1:44

D-E-I-D-I-V-E helps CIA, FBI, and NSA

1:46

perform their duties. Recently,

1:49

one of our top CIA agents, Wang

1:51

Fuchiy, received a warning that a young

1:53

Iranian man was about to blow himself

1:56

up on Wall Street while shouting, Allahu

1:58

Akbar, thereby potentially damaging our banking

2:00

system and preventing President Big Guy from collecting

2:02

his money from China and secreting it in

2:05

one of his 20 shell companies. Though

2:07

it was the dead of night, Agent Wang

2:09

quickly called DNI Fang Fang, where

2:11

she was sleeping at Congressman Eric

2:13

Swalwell's house, to report that the

2:16

Big Guy's cash was facing a

2:18

jihadist threat. DNI Fang

2:20

Fang immediately dropped her riding crop, leapt

2:22

out of bed, and instructed Agent Wang

2:24

that he should re-file his report after

2:26

first removing the word jihadist, which might

2:29

offend some Muslim Americans. Dutifully

2:31

starting over, Agent Wang then said, quote, a

2:34

young man from a foreign nation that

2:36

intends to destroy the world in order

2:38

to hasten the arrival of the 12th

2:40

Imam, or sorry, I

2:42

should just say the 12th non-denominational

2:44

clergyman named Muhammad Al-Madi, or

2:46

maybe just Bob Al-Madi. But let's just

2:49

call him Pastor Bob. Unfortunately, at this

2:51

point, Agent Wang's report was interrupted by

2:53

a shout of Allah Abu Akbar, followed

2:55

by a tremendous explosion. In

2:57

another helpful edition of the DNI's DEI,

3:00

DIV, the FBI, CIA, and NSA, the

3:02

newsletter tells the touching story of an

3:04

American intelligence officer who says, quote, and

3:07

as God is my witness, this is a real

3:10

quote from the DNI newsletter, I

3:12

am an intelligence officer, and I

3:14

am a man who likes to wear women's clothes

3:16

sometimes. My gender identity and

3:18

expression make me a better intelligence

3:21

officer, unquote. The

3:23

officer goes on to explain that cross-dressing

3:26

not only makes his intelligence work more

3:28

incisive but also more becoming in a

3:30

pink chiffon mini-sun dress with a naughty

3:32

but nice sweetheart neckline that's simply perfect

3:35

for reporting on young foreign-born males who

3:37

want to hasten the coming of the

3:39

12th non-denominational clergyman, Pastor Bob. But

3:42

at this point, the article is interrupted by a

3:44

shout of Allah Abu Akbar, followed by a tremendous

3:47

explosion. So as

3:49

you can see, we can all rest

3:51

easy at night knowing that Congressman Swalwell's

3:53

mistress, DNI Fang Fang, has a cross-dressing

3:56

communist CIA agent keeping watch to make

3:58

sure no one uses offensive language

4:00

while President Big Guy is being paid

4:02

by China with the money they make

4:04

laundering the profits Mexican gangsters collect for

4:06

killing Americans. All

4:08

that said, now I'll begin my

4:10

satire. Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Klavan, and this

4:12

is The Andrew Klavan Show. Right,

4:17

we're back. The

4:30

vast conservative conspiracy known as Klavan

4:33

continues. This, right this moment, would

4:35

be an excellent time to subscribe

4:37

to The Andrew Klavan YouTube channel,

4:39

my personal YouTube channel where you

4:41

will get exclusive content directly from

4:43

me. I will drive by

4:45

your house, I will throw it at you, probably knock

4:47

over your kid, and just drive off into the distance

4:50

before anybody knows it's coming from me. We've

4:52

got everything up there, including the interviews we do

4:54

that come out every Wednesday. Those are available there

4:56

on Daily Wire Plus and on the audio feed.

4:59

Last week we had Abigail Schreier, who I love. She

5:01

was talking about her new book, Bad Therapy. And

5:04

this coming week we have an interview. It's already

5:06

been taped, and I think it's one of the

5:08

best interviews I've ever done. It's with investigative reporter

5:10

Michael Schellenberger. Really it's a

5:12

great interview because I'm talking it very much, but

5:14

it really is good. Also if

5:17

you leave a comment on YouTube and

5:19

it violates all the laws of God

5:21

and man and just as it drags

5:23

this show down into the gutter where

5:25

it belongs, we'll read it because that's

5:27

where we belong. Today's comment

5:29

comes from survivor Dave. He says, guys,

5:31

an alien killed Klavan and is wearing

5:34

his skin. He claimed Klavan slept. We

5:36

know that would never happen. I know,

5:38

amazing, right? It was shocking

5:41

and I've had too much energy all week. All

5:43

right, let's get to today's episode. Don't

5:45

worry, be Miserable.. It

6:00

was kind of supernatural. I was staff afraid I

6:02

was going to be hit by a a truck

6:04

or something just for God's ironic. I finished. This.

6:07

Book that I was working. I've been

6:09

working on for years and I'm really

6:11

really excited about. It's kind of in

6:13

the genre of truth and Beauty is

6:15

a nonfiction, books about reading and literature

6:17

and movies and what we can learn

6:19

from secular works about god and I'm

6:21

really excited about as little as twenty

6:23

five days. with may have been the

6:25

best thing I've ever written in my

6:27

entire life. I signed a contract for

6:29

a short stories is very important to

6:31

me. was one of the best, the

6:33

best that only. Really great remaining magazine

6:36

for crime short stories. Are I have.

6:38

An amazing project that popped up. I can't

6:40

tell you about this project but I know

6:42

some of you are gonna love this project

6:45

but a pop out of up out of

6:47

nowhere and just started Rolling stone an offer

6:49

on it right away. This morning I'm in

6:51

the hotel finished just policy of the show

6:53

and one of my stories was announced. Lives

6:55

can Be and Follow just is great and

6:57

also and I don't want to make this

6:59

about Kansas but I wish her well. I

7:01

I like her of I personally but beyond

7:03

which will but spokesperson I'm really thrilled that

7:06

the Daily Wire is sub has right itself

7:08

in is going. On direction I think it

7:10

should be and there were other personal

7:12

moment of joint. just as great thing

7:14

L every now and again just for

7:16

hilarity ever known. Can I had some

7:18

go on social media all that much?

7:21

But I do go on when I

7:23

want to put something I've read, read

7:25

or written that I think people will

7:27

likely just comment on something at every

7:29

time I've gone. It was some kind

7:31

of like this place. If is

7:34

less, it was like this little doorway

7:36

and hell with people's trying to lean

7:38

on rage because of everything. What I

7:40

said no last shows a price as

7:42

saying you lousy as over. don't

7:45

know maybe it was something i said obstructs

7:47

i suffered much i said to my wife

7:49

energy this the people in hell he meets

7:51

first i was thinking you know i i

7:54

i i kind of felt bad for them

7:56

because i mean they're so angry in their

7:58

souls of full of hate And at

8:01

first I thought I was going to ignore them, but

8:04

I have to say there were some things I

8:06

said. You know, remember I told you that I

8:08

got the news, or I knew the news about

8:10

Kansas had gone public just an

8:12

hour or so before I go on, and I take a lot of

8:15

time putting the show together and thinking about what I want to say.

8:17

So I was talking, you know, without

8:19

that kind of preparation. And there was

8:21

one thing I said that even good

8:23

people misunderstood. So this is Good Friday.

8:25

And Good Friday is a day that

8:27

always really fascinates me. And

8:30

the reason it fascinates me is it

8:32

was probably the saddest day that ever

8:34

existed in history. It was a day

8:36

when even saints panicked, ran, and despaired.

8:38

Right? It is a time when

8:40

people thought, you know, we know the happy ending,

8:42

but they didn't. Right? And so

8:44

this is the time when they thought the story was

8:46

over. All the hopes are dashed. Everything, the worst thing.

8:49

And I'm seeing that a lot on the right right now. I'm

8:51

seeing a lot of people on the right who have given up

8:54

on the story of America. They've

8:56

given up on the story of democracy. They're

8:58

embracing the kinds of bigotry that I thought

9:00

had been purged out of the conservative movement

9:02

by William F. Buckley. They've got this new

9:05

paganism that's kind of going on, even though

9:07

sometimes it masquerades as Christianity. It's actually a

9:09

kind of paganism. They want to bring back

9:11

the church over the state, which is an

9:14

unchristian idea. That's not what Jesus said. And

9:17

these are the councils of despair. And

9:19

I definitely understand why people are despairing.

9:21

It really does look like things have

9:23

gone awry. It looks like the left

9:25

has so much power. Who

9:27

knows what's going to happen in this next election?

9:30

And the thing is, despair is a

9:32

self-fulfilling prophecy. You can lose a fight,

9:35

but you can't win a surrender. So

9:37

I decided, I made the decision that at the end of

9:40

the show, I'm going to

9:42

talk about some of the trends I'm seeing today during

9:44

the show and some of the stuff I was going

9:46

to talk about last week, but at the end of

9:48

the show, in the final chapter, I'm going to talk

9:50

this week about the

9:52

Bible and why I

9:54

read it the way I do. And

9:57

I want to clear up the one thing I

9:59

said that people misunderstand. understood, but also

10:01

I want to confirm some of the things I said

10:03

that people protested against. That'll be my

10:05

Easter message to the people. But

10:08

we'll get to all that later. Now let's

10:10

go to chapter one, Don't Marry, Be Miserable.

10:13

You know, I sent

10:15

a portrait to paint your life a few years

10:17

ago. It was really fun.

10:19

The process was quick and easy, and I thought

10:21

their work was great. I held it up on

10:23

the air. It was really good. It

10:25

really looked like a portrait, and I'm confident you'll

10:28

like it too. With Mother's Day and Father's Day

10:30

11:45

here's a small, but I think symbolic

11:47

story out of Florence, Italy this week,

11:49

which you probably didn't hear about, but

11:51

it made me laugh. It

11:54

kind of made me laugh, but it also symbolized something that I

11:56

think is going on that's not that funny. The

11:58

lady who runs one of Florence's major

12:00

cultural institutions, the Academy Gallery, a

12:03

German woman who runs, it's called

12:05

the Gallery del Academia, has

12:08

been fighting and winning court

12:10

cases to keep people from

12:12

profiting off reproductions of

12:15

Michelangelo's David, you know, the famous statue

12:17

of David with a slingshot over his

12:20

shoulder, a nude, gigantic statue, absolutely beautiful,

12:22

one of his great works, one of

12:24

the great works of art in Western

12:27

history, in any history. But

12:29

people take pictures of his penis

12:31

and put them on t-shirts and

12:33

postcards and this lady feels that

12:36

these are degrading to the

12:38

statue, to this great work of art and

12:40

in Italy there are laws that allow you

12:42

to protect works of art. She's been suing

12:44

people and she's been winning and there's a

12:46

lot of angles to this story. The lady

12:48

who runs the gallery, like I said, she's

12:50

German and so even the right wing government

12:52

headed by Maloney, they've kind of think that

12:54

they should get rid of foreigners in their

12:56

institutions and there's a Florida

12:59

angle because there was a small

13:01

classical school in Florida that

13:04

had a kerfuffle when parents complained about

13:06

a teacher teaching the David because of

13:08

the nudity. But the symbolic thing to

13:10

me is the statue of David, although

13:12

this was not its original purpose, it

13:14

very quickly came to be seen as

13:17

a symbol of the

13:19

Florentine Republic, right, one of the

13:21

earliest republics in history and

13:23

the heroic defense, the defiance

13:26

of that republic against

13:28

these powerful popes and princes who wanted

13:30

to take it over and turn it

13:32

into a tyranny. And so here he

13:34

was with his slingshot, the little guy

13:36

ready to defend the city and the

13:38

republic against the Goliath's that were trying

13:40

to come down, a tyranny and theocracy

13:43

and his nudity

13:45

has always been an issue. Queen Victoria

13:47

had a replica of it, I

13:49

think in the Victoria and Albert museums, she put

13:51

a fig leaf on it.

13:54

But it just struck me as funny

13:56

that what was once a symbol of

13:58

freedom, a noble classical

14:01

looking symbol of freedom,

14:03

the classicize of the Bible, is

14:05

now all about the shlong.

14:08

It's all about its penis, which to

14:10

me is what America looks like exactly,

14:12

right? Our founders gave us a system

14:15

for limiting power so we could have

14:17

our own ideas and build families and

14:19

associate with who we want to and

14:22

worship God as we want to, and

14:24

all we care about is shlong. All

14:26

we care about is that we can

14:28

bang whoever we want without any moral

14:31

reference, without any consequence, or as Barack

14:33

Obama said, without being punished by a

14:35

baby. And that's all anybody talks about

14:37

or cares about, all the law and all

14:39

the Democrats, the left is selling us all

14:42

the time, is you've got to be able

14:44

to cut your pieces off and turn yourself

14:46

and dress in a woman's

14:48

outfit and then everything will be so

14:50

much happier instead of, you know, you

14:52

should be reading your tradition and arguing

14:54

your point of view with

14:56

all the force you have and nobody should

14:58

be allowed to stop you. So

15:01

the Supreme Court, just really interesting,

15:03

the Supreme Court heard this case,

15:06

FDA versus Alliance for Hippocratic

15:08

Medicine, where doctors who oppose

15:10

abortion were challenging the FDA's

15:13

loosening of the rules that

15:15

allow you to get the

15:17

abortion pill, what's it

15:19

called? I can never remember what it's called, but

15:22

anyway, you know what it is, the abortion pill

15:24

and the FDA

15:26

allowed nurse practitioners, mepristone,

15:32

but anyway, they allowed nurse practitioners, not only doctors

15:34

to prescribe it, they increased the gestational age cutoff

15:36

to 10 weeks from seven and the doctors challenged

15:39

it. And the court, as far as you could

15:41

judge from the questioning, was very, very skeptical about

15:43

whether they were going to do anything about this,

15:45

not because of the moral issue, but because of

15:48

legal technicalities, let's call them,

15:50

whether the doctors actually had standing to

15:52

sue. And so people

15:55

are fighting very hard for this and I saw

15:58

recently at the State of the

16:00

union address, people were all dressed up in

16:02

white, the Democrats were all dressed up in white

16:04

to defend abortion. They stood in a plot of

16:06

abortion whenever it came up. And I found

16:08

it kind of depressing. I said to Ann

16:10

Coulter when she was here for an interview, I

16:13

said, John Adams said, our Constitution

16:15

is only for immoral and religious people. And

16:17

that doesn't, to me, look like what immoral

16:19

religious people look like. And maybe we're not

16:21

the people who can be governed by the

16:23

Constitution anymore. Media Matters published that and they

16:25

said, look, what are you saying? I thought,

16:27

where's the lie? And I said, yeah, that's

16:29

exactly what I'm saying. What got

16:31

me about this is I'm watching

16:33

this attempt to make sure that

16:36

people can take a pill that will wipe

16:38

out the baby that's inside them that

16:41

two years after the Supreme Court almost two

16:43

years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.

16:45

Wade, a very moving moment that I really

16:48

hoped would be a change in the culture.

16:51

A record number, according to a

16:53

new Fox News poll, a record

16:55

number of voters think abortion should

16:57

be legal with two thirds favoring

17:00

nationwide law, guaranteeing access. Support

17:02

for legalization is up mostly by double dishes

17:04

across the board since April 2022, two

17:07

months before Roe was overturned, which

17:10

means that before Roe was

17:12

overturned, we were winning the cultural fight

17:14

because people were beginning to see what

17:16

abortion was. They were beginning to see

17:18

what we were doing. They were beginning

17:20

to see what this country had turned

17:22

into. But since then, we

17:24

have gotten the dog that caught

17:26

the car, we have gotten very

17:28

morally pure. We're demanding that all

17:31

our politicians have a complete

17:33

ban and a federal ban and things that

17:35

people just don't want. And

17:37

as we do our usual conservative, I'm

17:39

angry, angry routine, and everybody's got to

17:41

be pure, pure, pure routine, and nevermind the politics,

17:44

we've got to just force people to do it.

17:47

The left is doing what they do

17:49

so, so well, which is changing

17:53

the culture, getting into

17:55

the culture. Remember Abraham Lincoln In one

17:57

of his debates with Stephen Douglas, you know, he's

17:59

sometimes accused of being a criminal. the Hypocrite: Because

18:01

he didn't want to abolish slavery, he just want

18:03

to prevent it from spreading. He wanted to have

18:05

also been in we couldn't and he said. Public.

18:08

Sentiment is everything with public sentiment.

18:10

Nothing can fail without it. Nothing

18:12

can succeed. See who moles? Public

18:14

sentiment goes deeper than he will

18:16

knock statues were pronouns. His decisions.

18:19

He makes Thatcherism decisions possible or

18:21

impossible to be executed. which is

18:23

why I got into talking to

18:25

conservative people cause I realize they

18:27

have lost the culture where this

18:29

ideas are shapes to Stephen Fry.

18:31

remember the former left wing ah

18:33

Supreme court justices been making around

18:36

selling his new book which is

18:38

basically. They're to

18:40

defend to attack the present courts,

18:42

and to defend abortions. Just listen

18:44

to his little cut of Wolf

18:46

Blitzer on Cnn interviewing former Supreme

18:48

Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Among

18:50

other things, you said that on his career

18:52

path. right? Now the Supreme Court

18:55

is producer your abuser, your words

18:57

a constitution that no one wants

18:59

one of the implications of the

19:01

have for the country to that's

19:03

not a good implications of the

19:05

countries and where I say that

19:07

frequently was Nino Scully and I

19:09

used to discuss in public. The.

19:12

Differences in our approach to the constitution

19:14

I remember and earth statutes to and

19:16

he would say i have to complicated

19:18

the system only use Stephen King Darius

19:21

and then I'd say to him but

19:23

if we follow uni know we'll have

19:25

a constitution that no one would one

19:27

of the constitution that no one would

19:30

one And I've heard some of these

19:32

debates between Scully and Briar and was

19:34

Scalia was saying is how can we

19:36

would with he believes in his pragmatism

19:38

Briar he says you know. We.

19:41

Have to ticket. To take. into account

19:43

the fact the society changes opinion saying public

19:45

sentiment changes and school i would say read

19:48

the document what do they mean that's loss

19:50

if congress wants to change them off let

19:52

them change was not our job the legislature

19:54

and he would say you can't just make

19:57

up the last and briar says you will

19:59

get it constitution that no one wants.

20:01

See what the founders thought was that

20:03

the Constitution would shape the ideas of

20:05

the people because these would be the

20:07

laws under which you lived and those

20:09

laws would protect your freedom. But people

20:11

don't want freedom. The Bible tells us

20:13

this. Remember Moses does miracle after

20:15

miracle to free the Hebrews from slavery in

20:17

Egypt and the minute they get hungry they

20:19

say where's our food when we were slaves

20:22

we had food why don't we have food.

20:24

People want to be taken care of they

20:26

do not want freedom and so the left

20:28

is playing always always through their Hollywood

20:30

media through their news media through

20:32

their academies where they educate our

20:34

children whom we pay them to

20:36

educate through everything they say

20:38

everything they do they're moving to change

20:41

what people want so they will become

20:43

slaves. Here's an article from

20:45

Alyssa Finley in the Wall Street Journal. The

20:48

US has a pregnancy crisis according

20:50

to liberal medical experts and the

20:52

press. They're referring to America supposedly

20:55

soaring maternal mortality not its declining

20:57

fertility. The US stands out quote

20:59

this from the American Medical Association

21:01

the US stands out among high-income

21:03

nations for its alarming incidents of

21:06

maternal deaths despite substantial health care

21:08

spending evidence and experience show us

21:10

conclusively that the risk of death

21:13

during or after childbirth is approximately 14

21:16

times greater than the risk of

21:18

death from abortion related complications the

21:20

AMA says the only thing that's

21:22

unfortunate about this the Center for

21:24

Disease Control and Prevention's National Vital

21:26

Statistics System reports that maternal mortality

21:28

rates in the US have roughly

21:30

tripled since 2001 and

21:33

this is nearly three times as high as rates

21:35

in other developed countries. Only one

21:38

problem it's not true

21:40

there's a checkbox that they added that

21:43

adds to death certificates in

21:45

2023 to identify women who had

21:47

died while pregnant or between 42

21:49

days in a year of when

21:51

their pregnancy ended and once

21:54

you analyzed it taking that out

21:56

and only making sure that they died

21:58

of complications from childbirth, our

22:01

rates are the same as anybody else. So

22:03

every day, look around, look around, every single

22:05

day, the leftist media is filled with stories

22:07

telling you, hinting, just feeding

22:10

this information into your brain, that you've got

22:12

to do this thing, you've got to learn,

22:15

abortion's got to be available, and you should

22:17

have one. The Atlantic does a big piece

22:19

saying those genetic tests, you know, like the

22:21

DNA tests that you can send in, they've

22:24

shown that many Miller people were born from

22:26

incest than we think. There are no figures

22:28

involved in this article at all, none.

22:30

But now we find out, these people get

22:32

tested and they find out their father is

22:34

also their uncle or whatever, you know, and

22:37

so we know there's a lot of incest

22:39

going around and this is something that appeals

22:41

to people. If you were impregnated through incest,

22:43

a terrible, tragic, wicked situation, you should be

22:46

allowed to have an abortion, although I don't

22:48

know why that stains the actual child who's

22:50

inside you, who's just another person. But

22:53

the New York Times has a story about a

22:56

horrible genetic defect, it's really clever, it tells the

22:58

story from the point of view of a mother

23:00

who said, I'm not going to let my baby

23:02

die, even though the baby's gonna be suffering, then

23:04

talks about the suffering of the baby and the

23:07

trials of the mother. And the mother finally says,

23:09

you know, I thought nobody should have an abortion

23:11

after this, but now I see this is not

23:13

for everybody, right? And then the New York Times

23:16

says, thousands of women each year become pregnant with

23:18

fetuses that have this terrible genetic defect and the

23:20

number of babies born with trisomy

23:23

18 may rise because

23:25

of the Supreme Court's decision in 2022. I

23:27

always love when they use the future tense,

23:30

it may rise, says someone at the New York

23:32

Times. Look around, look around, as the election gets

23:34

closer, you're gonna see it more and more, they

23:37

are selling this all the time

23:39

because they're changing minds, they

23:41

are changing minds. They

23:45

even want to make sure that people don't give

23:47

up birth control, right? They really have this thing

23:49

about babies, they don't want them to be born.

23:51

The Washington Post, where democracy dies in

23:53

darkness, they have a wonderful, if

23:56

you have a morbid sense of

23:58

humor like I do, they have this. and women

24:00

are getting off birth control, a mad misinformation explosion,

24:02

and who do they blame for this? Us, the

24:04

Daily Wire. The Daily Wire is saying that the

24:07

side effects of birth control can

24:09

be bad, and there's this wonderful line,

24:11

you know, they're blaming Ben and Matt

24:13

and all this stuff, and they say,

24:16

doctors, listen to this, doctors worry the

24:18

profession's long-standing lack of transparency about some

24:20

of the serious but rare side effects

24:22

has left many patients seeking information from

24:24

unqualified online communities. In other words, because

24:27

we lied, because the medical community lied,

24:29

people don't trust us anymore, what's up with

24:31

that? We lied and now you

24:33

don't trust us and you're going to other people, like the Daily

24:35

Wire where they don't lie, that's

24:38

a terrible thing, not a good argument. You

24:40

know, the thing about birth control,

24:42

and I'm not telling anybody to get offered or

24:44

take it or not take it, anything like that,

24:46

but Mary Harrington is right when she says birth

24:48

control changes the meaning of being a woman and

24:50

maybe even eradicates what it means to be a

24:52

woman, and there's a price for it, everything comes

24:54

at a price. So yes, it has made it

24:56

possible for you to degrade yourself and sleep with

24:58

anybody you want, and not

25:00

get pregnant and wake up in bed with somebody you

25:02

don't know, because you got so drunk the night before,

25:04

so yes, you're free, hooray, but it means the meaning

25:06

of being a woman has become completely

25:10

amorphous. Nobody knows what it is. My son,

25:12

Spencer Clavin, no relation, has a wonderful

25:14

essay on chivalry up at Fairer Disputations. I

25:16

love Fairer Disputations. It's where all these brilliant

25:19

women who I, I'm the first person to

25:21

have noticed them, the brilliant women who finally

25:24

figured out that feminism was a bad deal but they

25:26

can't quite bring themselves to say it, so they call

25:28

themselves, I don't know, reactionary feminists or something like this,

25:31

but Spencer quotes a

25:34

woman writer who says, I think

25:36

it would be such a funny way for

25:38

feminism to end, her name is Jenerva Davis,

25:40

funny way for feminism to end, if someday

25:42

we get artificial wombs and parents get to

25:44

choose the body of their child and they

25:46

all choose male, and females can be at

25:49

long last wiped from the face of the

25:51

earth, because when

25:53

you take away the meaning

25:55

of a woman as mother,

25:57

as homemaker, as nurturer, Take

26:00

away the meaning of that. Then our troublemaking

26:02

friend Pearl Davis, you know, we love her

26:04

as a troublemaker, who says men are better

26:06

at everything. Well, men are better at everything

26:09

that men are better at. But women are

26:11

better at being women, and they are value

26:13

added to society in a big, big way.

26:15

So now what we have is a situation

26:18

where we are free and we're miserable. We

26:20

are free to be sexually promiscuous, but we

26:22

have to kill babies, and killing babies makes

26:24

people miserable. Sometimes they don't know it

26:26

because they've told to shout their abortion. Why do you

26:29

think they're shouting? Doing the wrong thing

26:31

makes people miserable over time. That's why we

26:33

have a God who forgives us, because if

26:35

you go to him and repent, say, I

26:37

did a bad thing, he will forgive you.

26:39

He will lighten that load. But if you're

26:41

afraid to face your shame, if you're afraid

26:43

to face your guilt, you're gonna be carrying

26:45

around this moral disaster of sexual freedom. You

26:47

know, this is the other thing.

26:50

We did a bonus video where I

26:52

watched this stupid show on Peacock, which

26:54

is NBC. This is the, NBC of

26:57

course is a company that hid the

26:59

Harvey Weinstein scandal because they didn't wanna

27:01

offend Harvey because they had connections with

27:03

Universal Studios in Hollywood. And now they're

27:05

running a show on Peacock called Thrupples.

27:08

And it's one of those, you know,

27:11

theoretically true things where

27:14

they bring couples together and introduce a

27:16

third person. And it was pitiful. It was

27:18

pitiful. They're selling this stuff because what they're

27:21

trying to do, Ross Staufat writes about this

27:23

in the New York Times. He says they've

27:25

got a quest for a new vision of

27:27

sexual morality. They don't wanna give up the

27:30

sexual, the degrading sexual freedom. They

27:32

don't wanna give up the degrading sexual freedom. But

27:34

because of Me Too, they realize women got burned.

27:36

Like the left always does this. They screw things

27:38

up and then they can't just say, we made

27:40

a mistake, let's go back. Oh, you know, defunding

27:43

the police, not a good idea, hire back the

27:45

police. They can't do it. So they have a

27:47

new solution that's gonna solve everything. And now we're

27:49

gonna have Thrupples and that's gonna change everything. Let

27:51

me show you a chart. This is a chart,

27:53

another article in the Atlantic, I have to say.

27:56

This is a number three, the American Happiness Rating.

27:58

If you're not watching, you're just listening. It's

28:01

right around 2000 it plummets, but

28:03

it starts plummeting right around 1970

28:05

increasing unhappiness This

28:08

is from an Atlantic article from last year

28:10

by a woman named Olga Kazan and she's

28:12

quoting a study by Sam Peltzman Here's

28:15

what she says. All right. He's an emeritus economics

28:17

professor at the University of Chicago and you're just

28:19

watching this thing It's just a descending wave of

28:21

happiness Down to 2020 where it's

28:23

really getting low and as you know, we fell

28:25

off the list of the top 20

28:28

happiest countries this year on the happiness index.

28:30

Okay After slicing

28:33

the democratic the demographic data every

28:35

which way income education level race

28:37

location age and gender Peltzman

28:40

found that this happiness dip

28:42

is mainly attributable to

28:44

one thing guess guess what it

28:46

is Married people are happier and

28:49

Americans aren't getting married as much

28:51

in 1986

28:53

percent of 40 year olds had never been married

28:55

but today it's 25%

28:58

that's amazing the recent decline in the

29:00

married share of adults can explain Statistically

29:02

most of the recent decline in overall

29:04

happiness Peltzman writes married people are much

29:07

happier than the unmarried according to this

29:09

data Looking at those same hundred people

29:11

40 married people will say they're happy

29:15

10 will say they're not happy but single people are about

29:17

evenly split between happy and not happy So it's a difference

29:19

of like 40% It doesn't

29:21

really matter if you are divorced or

29:23

widowed or have never married if you're

29:25

not married You're less likely to be

29:27

happy. So we've made ourselves miserable We've

29:29

given you know Cicero said the fruit

29:32

of too much liberty is slavery and

29:36

once David the

29:38

man who killed Goliath the young man who

29:40

killed Goliath He stood with his slingshot to

29:43

defend liberty, but it was a different kind

29:45

of Liberty wasn't it? It was liberty of

29:47

thought it was liberty of belief. It was

29:49

liberty to pick our own Rulers

29:52

our own governors now we have

29:54

liberty for one thing everybody's taking

29:56

pictures of David's song because that's

29:58

all we care about and

30:00

it makes you miserable. Sex is a

30:02

wonderful thing. I'm a big fan. I think married

30:04

people should have a lot of it. But

30:06

clearly, when you make that the only freedom

30:08

that you have, the fruit

30:11

of that liberty is slavery, and the

30:13

fruit of slavery is misery. So

30:17

you'll be glad to know I'm back to

30:19

not sleeping, but I can't fall asleep by

It's K-L-A-B-A-M. of

32:00

despair, but believe me, there's Easter coming

32:02

and we will end on an Easter

32:04

note. I want you to

32:06

listen to a Washington Post think piece, if

32:08

that's kind of a contradiction in terms, a

32:10

Washington Post think piece by Fareed Zakaria. Fareed

32:13

Zakaria is a liberal, they always call him

32:15

a moderate. I guess he's a moderate liberal.

32:18

I want to be fair to the guy. He's

32:20

written a new book and they have an excerpt of his

32:22

new book. It's

32:25

shocking how blind

32:28

the mainstream left has become

32:31

to who they are. It is shocking because they're

32:33

surrounded by people who agree with them, so nobody

32:35

argues with them. Nobody says, you

32:37

know, this actually isn't making any sense. What

32:40

he's talking about, the subhead of

32:42

this, or actually the headline is,

32:45

how to beat the backlash that

32:47

threatens the liberal revolution. He says,

32:49

since the fall of the Berlin

32:51

Wall in 1989, engineered

32:54

by three major conservatives, Reagan, Thatcher

32:56

and the Pope, right? That's who

32:58

engineered that. Wouldn't have happened without

33:00

them. Since the fall of

33:02

the Berlin Wall in 1989, the

33:04

world saw the liberalization of markets,

33:06

the democratization of politics and the

33:08

explosion of information technology. Each

33:11

of these trends seem to reinforce the

33:13

other creating a world that was overall

33:15

more open, dynamic and interconnected. But

33:18

now, now there's been a backlash,

33:21

a backlash is beating back against this

33:23

freedom, free trade, the global world, all

33:25

this wonderful stuff, the democratization of everything.

33:28

What's to blame, right? Populism,

33:31

Donald Trump, essentially. He

33:33

says the democracies of the West all

33:36

face a rising tide of illiberal populism

33:38

that is skeptical of openness, globalization, trade,

33:40

immigration and diversity. I love the way

33:43

they always say immigration. They don't say

33:45

invasion or illegal immigration. It's always immigration

33:47

like we hate foreign people coming to

33:49

America, which is hilarious since every single

33:51

one of us is a foreign person

33:54

who came to America. The

33:56

result has been that across the world

33:58

we are living through a democratic recession.

34:00

rising tariffs and trade barriers, growing hostility

34:03

to immigration and immigrants. I

34:05

love it. Ever-expanding limits on technology

34:07

and information access and even skepticism

34:09

about liberal democracy itself. He

34:11

says we all want to be free. Another untruth,

34:13

right? I told you already, people do not want

34:16

to be free. They want to be taken care

34:18

of. You have to teach them to be free.

34:20

You have to have laws that train their souls

34:22

to be free. We want choice, autonomy, control of

34:24

our lives, and yet we also know that when

34:26

human beings embrace freedom they can end up feeling

34:28

profoundly ill at ease. Freedom

34:30

and autonomy often come at the

34:33

expense of authority and tradition. As

34:35

the binding forces of religion and

34:37

custom fade, the individual gains but

34:39

communities often lose. So

34:42

the individual gains but communities often lose. The

34:44

result is that we might be richer and

34:46

freer but also lonelier. We search for something

34:49

somewhere to fill the infinite abyss.

34:51

And now he says when governments

34:53

define what makes meaningful life, directing

34:55

people to serve God, the fatherland

34:57

or the Communist cause, the results

34:59

are usually disastrous. It puts in

35:01

place what a free

35:03

government does is it puts in place

35:06

a set of procedures, elections, free speech

35:08

courts to help secure liberty, fair play,

35:10

and equality of opportunity. So

35:14

a government that opens its borders to

35:16

an invasion of unchecked immigrants and

35:19

so that cartels are camped on our

35:21

border in Camo bringing in fentanyl

35:23

that kills almost a hundred thousand, somewhere between

35:25

70 and a hundred thousand people a year

35:27

and laundering that money through the Chinese Mafia

35:29

who have gotten in here somewhere after bribing

35:31

the Biden family. I don't know how that

35:33

happened. That's

35:36

not really protecting us. That is

35:38

not protecting us. You know, yesterday

35:40

I think it was in New

35:42

York City our president, President

35:44

Rododendron and Bill Clinton

35:46

and Barack Obama were at a fundraiser

35:48

with Lizzo and you know Steve Colbert

35:50

and all this stuff. President

35:53

Trump was at a funeral for a police

35:56

officer who was a father of

35:58

a little baby who had been murdered. murdered by

36:00

a guy who had something like 21 outstanding charges

36:02

against him. That's what President Trump was

36:04

doing because they're not

36:06

enforcing the law in New York. So

36:09

people are not keeping us safe. A

36:11

government that censors Hunter Biden's laptop that

36:13

covers up an influence peddling scheme that

36:15

obviously put the family on the, the

36:17

Biden family on the payroll of the

36:19

communist Chinese that covers up health information

36:22

so that big pharma can make a

36:24

fortune of an untested vaccine that covers

36:26

up dissenting opinions and investigates Elon Musk

36:28

simply because he lets conservatives speak. That's

36:31

not a government that is actually not telling

36:33

us what to believe. A court system that

36:35

charges one side's most popular candidate

36:37

with crimes that no one else on the other

36:39

side is charged with. You know,

36:42

Trump won a big victory this week where an

36:44

appeals court cut his bond on that stupid, you

36:46

know, he overvalued his properties case. They cut it

36:48

from $454 million to $175 million. You

36:54

think like, wait a minute, you know, you cut it by $454

36:56

million. You cut it

36:58

by, I'm sorry, $275 million. You

37:01

want to make a comment on why it was

37:03

that high? Well, no, they don't want to make

37:05

it because obviously it's dishonest. So

37:08

now he has to go to trial for

37:10

paying off to Stormy Daniels to keep her

37:12

mouth shut. None of this stuff is

37:14

happening. The wet for read Zakaria says,

37:17

in fact, the government is introducing a

37:19

new way of living, a way of

37:22

living alone, a way of living without

37:24

reference to morality in the Pacific Northwest.

37:26

You want to adopt the child. You

37:28

have to support, quote, support a foster

37:30

child's soggy, which means his sexual orientation

37:32

and gender identity expression. You have to

37:34

support a child's soggy by using their

37:36

pronouns and chosen name and respecting the

37:38

child's right to privacy concerning their soggy

37:41

and connect a foster child with resources

37:43

that supports and affirms their needs

37:45

regarding race, religion, culture, and so

37:47

they're not allowing us to choose our

37:49

path to meaning. They're telling us their

37:52

path. And it is a moral

37:54

materialist, disgusting, empty, vacuous path. People

37:57

are not going to religious services anymore. Three out of 10.

38:00

people in the United States attend religious services.

38:03

Why? And that's increased since

38:05

what they call the pandemic, but it's

38:07

really the lockdown. We were told not

38:09

to go. So to call this a

38:11

backlash is dishonest. This is

38:13

a takeover of the moral ethical thinking

38:15

and the freedom of thought and the

38:17

freedom of expression that we had here

38:19

that we built this country for. Yes,

38:22

we're individuals, but we wanna be

38:25

free to form associations in church,

38:27

in families, in groups

38:29

that we gather, even groups

38:31

that the government doesn't agree

38:33

with without being investigated by the

38:35

FBI. We wanna be able to stand up for

38:38

what our children are being taught without being investigated

38:40

as terrorists for the FBI. We

38:42

are individuals, but we don't live individually. We

38:45

live in a society. We live together, where

38:47

we die alone in misery. And that is

38:49

what the government is trying to engineer. And

38:51

they don't like the fact that sex is

38:54

not enough to keep us from fighting back.

38:58

You know, when I first started doing GenuCell ads,

39:01

I only half believed what they were saying. And

39:03

then I tried their spot corrector and it worked

39:05

41:05

spotlights to Nord said the it's the

41:07

nature of despair that doesn't know that

41:09

it's despair and I think that. That

41:12

is something that has happened to us

41:14

since the in the invention of the

41:16

smartphone and social media. Others may pass.

41:18

I believe it is may pass We

41:20

haven't We haven't. Ah,

41:23

a yacht acclimated or self to this

41:25

new technologies. but there's a new book

41:27

out by Jonathan Haidt. Very intelligent guy.

41:29

I really like reading books is gonna

41:31

come on for an interview on at

41:33

a few weeks. I think we've got

41:35

a new book called the Anxious Generation

41:37

how the great rewiring of childhood is

41:39

causing an epidemic of mental illness. And

41:41

he talks about the costs. Of.

41:45

The smartphone. Like. i said

41:47

everything on even good things become was a

41:49

cost and he says the cost of the

41:52

smartphone his time the huge amount of times

41:54

that we spend on at forty hours a

41:56

week for pre teens for teens a thirteen

41:58

to eighteen scotia fifty hours a week. And

42:01

obviously it's worse, of course, for

42:03

poor people, for

42:05

blacks, Latinos, for LGBTQ

42:07

people. So they are more

42:10

and more isolated. And children and adolescents, he says,

42:12

need a lot of time to play with

42:14

each other or just hang out face to face.

42:16

We all remember this from being a kid. Your

42:19

peer group becomes everything to you. That's

42:21

how you move from your parents and

42:23

your family group into society. And now

42:26

they've lost that. And of course they

42:28

lost it even more during the

42:30

lockdowns, during this screw. Let's call it a great

42:32

screw up. That's what we should call it. The

42:34

percentage of 12th graders who said that they got

42:37

together with their friends almost every day dropped sharply

42:39

after 2009. And

42:42

on top of this, the smartphone has increased anxiety

42:44

and cut down on outside time. And this has

42:46

aided parents and authorities to add to their anxiety.

42:48

You know, I've noticed this just personally. I've

42:50

been an outdoorsman all my life and I love hiking.

42:52

I love going into the woods and I don't have

42:55

a good sense of direction. So I'm a good trailfinder.

42:57

I have to be a good trailfinder. I never used

42:59

to have a phone, obviously, before there were iPhones, before

43:01

there were cell phones. I just used to hike

43:03

in the woods. And sometimes I'd lose myself and

43:05

I'd be there at night. I used to go

43:07

fishing down in this reservoir at the bottom of

43:09

a hill in the woods. And sometimes I'd get

43:11

so involved in my fishing, I'd forget that the

43:13

sun was going down. Finding your way in the

43:16

woods at night is extraordinarily difficult, but I never

43:18

worried about it. I knew I found my way.

43:20

I always found my way. Once

43:22

they invented the cell phone, I noticed that I'll

43:24

hardly go to the bathroom without my cell phone because what

43:27

if I get locked in? Because

43:29

now that you have it, you think, well, I'll take it with

43:31

me. I'll make sure. Maybe I'll get a flat tire. So I'm

43:33

just going to the store, but I'll take it with me in

43:35

case I get a flat tire. You go into the woods and

43:37

you think, well, I better take my cell phone in case I

43:39

get lost. I fall and I'm taking the falls in the woods

43:42

and all this stuff. And now

43:44

it increases your anxiety. So hate

43:46

talks about this. And I don't know if this is

43:48

a TED talk. He's talking at the National Summit on

43:50

Education. And he points out

43:52

the way we now treat our children

43:54

looking at a picture of a playground

43:56

of a school in Berkeley. It's cut

43:58

five. This is an

44:01

elementary school in Berkeley and

44:03

you see kids on a playground and there's a sign behind them.

44:05

What does the sign say? Football

44:07

rules. And it gives you rules for how to

44:09

play football. Resolve disagreements

44:12

with rock, paper, scissors. Here's

44:16

the worst one of all. Football. And this is

44:18

touch football because it says only touch, no tackle. Touch

44:21

football can only be played if

44:23

an adult is supervising and refereeing

44:25

the game. Because

44:28

if not, children might learn

44:30

skills of negotiation and conflict resolution

44:33

that are necessary for democratic society.

44:36

Okay, this system, this anxiety makes it harder

44:38

for us to argue, to think, to go

44:40

off on our own, to want to be

44:42

on our own. He talks about what it

44:45

creates as a cycle of incompetence cut-six. What

44:48

schools are doing when they do

44:50

this nonsense is they are creating

44:52

a cycle of incompetence which goes

44:54

like this. Students

44:56

now assume social and physical incompetence of

44:58

children. They can't do anything. They'll get

45:01

hurt if they try. So

45:04

we ban risky play and conflict. We

45:06

don't understand that they're anti-fragile.

45:08

They need risks. They need setbacks. They

45:10

need conflicts. So we ban things that

45:12

would help them grow. Guess what? This

45:15

causes kids to be socially and

45:17

physically incompetent. What effect does that

45:19

have? It validates our assumption

45:22

that they are socially and physically incompetent. Now,

45:26

I love Jonathan Haidt for feeling this

45:28

only happens to children, but no, it's

45:30

happened to us too, right? You make

45:32

people, you assume people are incompetent. You

45:34

don't let them do things. They become

45:36

incompetent. You say, see, I told you,

45:38

you are incompetent. That's the story of

45:41

the shutdown, the pandemic

45:43

shutdown, the great screw-up that

45:45

has destroyed our trust and all the

45:47

people in charge who should leave, every

45:49

single one of them, anyone who is

45:51

involved, should lose his reputation, his office, his

45:54

position, should be gone. They all should be

45:56

gone. None of them is gone, which further

45:58

increases the way we feel about them. that

46:00

we're surrounded by incompetence who hate us. Now

46:02

I've played this, here's a montage I must've

46:04

played now 15 or 20 times. And

46:07

I love it because it's so revelatory.

46:09

This is a montage from our friends

46:11

at Grabian of what the news media

46:13

was saying after Donald Trump got

46:15

COVID, came back, took off his

46:18

mask and said, do not

46:20

let it dominate your life. Don't be afraid of

46:22

it. Don't let it dominate your life. And this

46:24

is the news media, what they said. It

46:27

is just so horrible, so destructive

46:29

to say, I feel better than I have

46:31

in 20 years. But he's

46:33

saying this is so disrespectful. The president

46:35

says it's no big deal. I

46:38

mean, it's outrageous. It is insulting to

46:41

the people who have lost loved ones.

46:43

It is insulting to every American who

46:45

wears a mask. I mean, it's disgraceful,

46:48

Wolf. It's absurd. Don't tell your

46:50

supporters, don't be afraid of COVID.

46:52

Everyone should be afraid of COVID.

46:54

It's okay to be afraid of

46:56

COVID. And it's okay that

46:59

it's dominating your life because it

47:01

has dominated your life. Jake

47:05

Tapper doesn't do well at the last judgment. He's

47:08

just gonna be locked in a room with that

47:10

clip playing over and over again for all of

47:12

eternity. Governor Ron DeSantis,

47:14

who did really well during, I've been reading

47:16

more about this and he did really well

47:18

during the pandemic and better than Trump. He

47:20

did better than almost anybody. He has now

47:23

signed a bill that will prohibit children younger

47:25

than 14 from joining social media in the

47:27

state of Florida. Those who

47:29

are 14 or 15 will need a parent's

47:31

consent before they join a platform. And he

47:34

makes a really interesting point that

47:36

the outdoors are now safer

47:39

than the indoors. It's cut seven. You

47:41

look at young kids and you know

47:43

there's dangers out there. Unfortunately, we've got

47:46

predators who prey on young kids and

47:48

it used to be, well, if

47:50

they're out somewhere, maybe they're not being

47:53

supervised, maybe some predator can strike. Now,

47:56

with things like social media and all this,

47:59

you can have... a kid in the

48:01

house safe, seemingly,

48:03

and then you have

48:05

predators that can get right in there into

48:08

your own home. You could be doing everything

48:11

right, but you know how to get and

48:13

manipulate these different platforms. So

48:15

we really are more unsafe than

48:17

we were, not because

48:19

of the way we're being, not because

48:22

we're being kept inside, but because we're

48:24

being kept inside this little box. You

48:26

know, studies have shown, and I think

48:28

everybody knows this, that negative words spur

48:30

clickbait. You get more clicks

48:32

if you use negative words. So if you

48:34

use words like harm, heartbroken, ugly, troubling, angry,

48:37

you get more clicks. They teach this in journalism school.

48:39

They teach you in journalism school how to get more

48:41

clicks. And this also has a moral point, and this

48:43

is something that a friend of mine said to me,

48:45

but he doesn't like me to use his name. I

48:47

just don't want to act as

48:49

if it were my idea. He pointed

48:51

out that suddenly everybody's using the term

48:54

sex workers to mean whores, to mean

48:56

prostitutes. Now I'm very much against

48:58

this. You know, when they say sex work is

49:00

work, that's what your pimp tells you. Sex work

49:02

is degrading. Sex work is mental illness. It's the

49:04

result of mental illness. Even in

49:07

places like Nevada, and I researched this for

49:09

one of my mystery stories for Damnation Street,

49:11

even in places like Nevada where prostitution is

49:13

legal, the prostitutes still have pimps who beat

49:16

them up and steal their money. Because

49:19

they have an illness, right? This is an illness to

49:21

sell your body, to give your body to a man

49:23

for money. That's not why it was given to you.

49:25

That's not why you should give it to someone else.

49:28

So they teach this in journalism school, and

49:30

it not only erodes our confidence,

49:32

it erodes our morality because they use sex

49:34

workers because sex makes people click. That's why

49:36

they use it. They don't use it because

49:38

they think a prostitute is not mentally ill.

49:40

They use it because sex makes people click.

49:42

So they use the word sex worker. So

49:44

let me sum up these three chapters before

49:46

we get to our final one. We

49:49

have a motivation, sexual pleasure

49:51

without responsibility, to become self-degrading

49:55

people and immoral killers of children

49:57

and abusers of women. A

50:00

motivation to become unchaste, to create

50:02

unchaste women who are not suitable

50:04

for marriage or self-respect and who

50:07

have done things that they now

50:09

regret and can't repent of. Misery,

50:11

recipe for misery. We have a government

50:13

that is not fostering the ground in

50:15

which free men and women gather in

50:18

associations that bring joy like marriage, family,

50:20

and society, and parenthood, and instead is

50:22

pushing an immoral rewrite of human meaning.

50:24

The result is misery. Then we

50:26

have a device that has sucked us out of

50:28

the real world with its

50:30

joys and pains. The real world is

50:32

full of tragedy and comedy and delight

50:35

and love and beauty and has taken

50:37

us into a world where negativity is

50:39

rewarded and positivity is punished and where

50:41

you get the sense that your rage

50:44

and your unhealthiness and your misery is

50:46

the world instead of just this little

50:48

place inside the world. More

50:50

than anything, of course, our religion is under

50:52

siege. We are losing our faith. They're teaching

50:54

us to lose our faith just like they're

50:57

teaching us to relish and

50:59

elevate abortion. That's

51:01

why I want to end with

51:03

a final chapter on faith. The

51:08

Divided States of Biden with Benjamin

51:10

Shapiro has its second episode out

51:12

focused on how fentanyl has become

51:14

America's silent epidemic. Many know

51:16

what fentanyl is, but do you know that it's the

51:18

number one killer of adults ages 18 to 49 claiming

51:20

an average of 295 lives per day? And

51:26

the Biden administration is completely silent. In

51:28

fact, Biden's policies make it easier for

51:30

fentanyl to be distributed and sold across

51:32

the country, allowing it to fall into

51:35

the hands of any American, many of

51:37

them very young. Ben uncovers

51:39

the fentanyl crisis in one of the cities

51:41

most affected in the latest episode of the

51:43

Divided States of Biden, watching the Divided States

51:45

of Biden fentanyl America's

51:47

silent epidemic now exclusively on

51:50

Daily Wire Plus. So

52:00

the people in hell hate me and everybody's yelling at me

52:02

and everyone's yelling, that's fine.

52:04

But Good Friday, the day of despair, does

52:06

come to an end with Easter and I want to make

52:09

it clear. I want to talk about what I believe and

52:11

why I believe it. Now, the thing I was unclear about,

52:13

and this is my fault. I came on, you know, I

52:15

could feel a little tingle in the back of my head

52:17

when I said it, so I probably knew I was being

52:19

unclear. I said at one point,

52:22

Ben Shapiro is in such a network of

52:24

relationships that finding Christ would tear his life

52:26

apart. And people took that to mean that

52:28

I thought he shouldn't do it or that

52:31

you shouldn't risk that for Christ. Now, I've

52:33

given up a great deal in finding

52:35

Christ, not just friends, but money and

52:38

loved ones who don't associate with me

52:40

anymore because of my finding

52:42

Christ. That was not what I was saying. And

52:45

if I was unclear about that, my fault, because

52:47

good people, this took me too. A lot of other

52:49

people just distorting what I said. What

52:51

I meant was that was my

52:54

personal observation that Ben, in this

52:56

network he's in of relationships, is

52:58

doing great work. And I deduced

53:00

from that. It's not theology. It's

53:02

my personal observation and

53:04

deduction. I deduced from that that God had

53:06

put him in that place for a purpose

53:08

because I believe he's doing great and important

53:10

work in that place and doesn't—he's not ready

53:12

for him to leave and God will take care

53:15

of him, but still, this is where God was

53:17

put. Like I said, personal observation,

53:19

and that made me personally believe that God

53:21

was using him for the purpose just like

53:23

Jordan Peterson, and that's not a theological point.

53:25

That's just a personal judgment of the real

53:28

facts on the ground. But I

53:30

said something else that made people upset, and

53:33

this I stand by absolutely. I

53:35

said when I see God using Ben or when I

53:38

see him using Jordan Peterson, where they are, I'm

53:40

not worried about their immortal souls. I'm not

53:42

worried that God will abandon

53:45

them, having sent them into the field where they're

53:47

doing great work. And I'm

53:50

going to explain that in

53:52

terms—I want to explain that in terms—I'm going to explain

53:54

my theology. And people—you know, I've told you often, I'm

53:56

not a theologian. I'm just a believer. And some people

53:58

say, well, you can't have that. a theology. If you're

54:01

not a theologian, you just have to read the catechism

54:03

or go to the pastor. But that's

54:05

like saying you can't have a philosophy if you're not

54:07

a philosopher. Everyone has a philosophy. In fact, everyone has

54:09

a theology. And some just follow along with the catechism,

54:11

and they believe what they're told. I read the Bible

54:13

every day. I read a lot of

54:16

great theology, and I have beliefs that are on my

54:18

own. And they're not unique,

54:20

but they are my own, and I will

54:23

defend them. And I want to defend them today because I don't

54:25

often read from the Bible on the air. So

54:27

it sometimes sounds like I'm just making stuff up. Here's

54:30

where I am. I'm an Anglican Catholic, and that means

54:32

I'm Catholic. I believe in the Nicene Creed, but I'm

54:34

not attached to the Vatican. So the Pope can say

54:36

something I disagree with. There are many things that Roman

54:38

Catholics believe that I don't believe. Every week I go

54:41

to church, I say the Nicene Creed. That's the central

54:43

statement of Christianity. For most churches, even Protestant churches,

54:45

I believe in one God and three persons, Father,

54:47

Son, and Holy Ghost. I believe that Jesus was

54:49

incarnate from the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit.

54:52

I believe he was crucified. I believe he was resurrected,

54:54

that it will come in glory to judge the living

54:56

and the dead, one baptism. You know the Nicene Creed,

54:58

probably. I believe in every word of

55:00

that. I don't have to cross my fingers when I'm saying that

55:02

that's what I believe. That's who I am. That is the

55:05

core of my beliefs. But there are other

55:07

things that are

55:09

controversial, and I have an opinion on them. And

55:11

in the Anglican Church, you don't have to believe

55:13

them. They're sometimes called pious beliefs. You're allowed to

55:16

believe in them. You can't go wrong by believing

55:18

them, but you don't have to. One

55:20

of them is the perpetual virginity of

55:22

Mary. I'm not going to discuss this at length.

55:24

I'm just going to say, I don't believe in

55:26

it. I don't believe that the

55:29

scripture upholds

55:31

it. I don't believe the scripture describes it.

55:33

But this is something that drives people nuts.

55:35

I made a joke in the truth and

55:37

beauty that when I have Protestants

55:39

and Catholics over and they start arguing about this,

55:41

I'm afraid to go inside and refill the pretzel

55:44

bowl because I'm afraid I'll come back to the

55:46

patio and they'll have killed each other. They'll restarted

55:48

the 30 years war. This is something people disagree

55:50

with very passionately. I believe it's an important theological

55:52

point, and I have, I've stated my opinion on

55:55

it, but I Totally respect other people.

55:57

I'm going to tell you the honest truth. In The

55:59

End. And. I. Don't really care.

56:01

I didn't know the woman. I don't

56:03

know what she was doing in our

56:05

personal lives. The Joseph Ethics important interesting

56:07

topic. But. I don't think it's going

56:10

to be on the final exam. I don't

56:12

think that that's what God is looking for

56:14

from me or anybody else that we get

56:16

our maybe from some people were precinct theologians

56:18

but the we get our theology in the

56:20

details of Ozzie Ozzie exactly right Transom stance,

56:22

nation the same way to people have killed

56:24

each other over it's Isaacs is important issue.

56:26

I both have my Billie sites but in

56:28

the and I don't think that's the final

56:30

exam. I don't think that's what our being

56:32

judged and so on. plan light about it.

56:34

I have no problem embracing somebody who disagrees

56:36

with me about it's maybe I'm wrong, maybe

56:38

the the. Judgment will be a short answer.

56:40

Quiz Young Did you know this? Maybe it

56:42

will be the catechism. I don't know, but

56:44

I don't believe that that is not how

56:47

I lived. That's what I don't believe hear

56:49

something else. Had very much believe. that is

56:51

difference in some people. I believe in doing

56:53

my job and weaving God trusting gods to

56:55

do his. I don't have firm opinions about

56:57

who will be saved on the last days

56:59

because no one is gonna ask my opinion

57:01

ever. I get no votes. All I do

57:03

know is that it's going to be perfect.

57:05

God will be perfect, Is justice, will be

57:08

perfect. His mercy. Will be perfect. He

57:10

hasn't asked my hope he doesn't need my

57:12

help so I don't. Church where other people

57:14

will spend eternity not my job. I felt

57:16

one job this I see its which to

57:19

com before God every day as Mit myself.

57:22

To. Be changed to tell got the truth to

57:24

open myself up to him and let him make

57:26

The changes in me says he wants to make

57:28

and I can feel that I know the way

57:30

it works. I you're moving toward I believe the

57:32

image of God within you which is different than

57:35

the image of god with and everyone else. That's

57:37

why you're and individuals and will. I find this

57:39

every day in his own good time. He opens

57:41

a space for me to move into and they'll

57:43

have to use my will to move into. When

57:47

I do think of judgment, When.

57:49

i didn't have some people who are universalist they

57:51

believe everyone will be saved some people believe only

57:53

those were in the catholic church will be say

57:55

some people believe that it doesn't matter because it's

57:57

all predestined all as such I

58:00

believe that I don't know. I'm absolutely positive that

58:02

I don't know. But this is what I think

58:04

when I think about judgment and where people stand.

58:08

Here's Jesus Christ. You remember

58:10

him, right? He was speaking in Matthew 7. He

58:13

says, Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord,

58:16

shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who

58:18

does the will of my Father in heaven. Many

58:21

will say to me in that day, Lord,

58:23

Lord, have we not prophesied in your name and

58:25

cast out demons in your name and done

58:27

many wonders in your name? And then I

58:29

will declare to them, I never

58:31

knew you. Depart from me

58:33

you who practice lawlessness. I never knew you. He

58:35

called me Lord. He said I was king. He said

58:38

Christ is king. I never knew you. It doesn't matter.

58:40

Even when he said it on X, I never knew

58:42

you. Here's something else Jesus says in Matthew 25. When

58:45

the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the

58:47

holy angels with Him, then He will sit

58:49

on the throne of His glory. All the nations will

58:52

be gathered before Him and He will separate them, one

58:54

from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the

58:56

goats. The sheep of His followers, the sheep of the

58:58

people that He is going to accept into the kingdom.

59:00

And He'll set the sheep on His right hand, the goats on His left,

59:03

and the king will say to those on His right hand, Come,

59:05

you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom

59:07

prepared for you from the foundation of the world,

59:09

for I was hungry and you gave me

59:11

food. I was thirsty and you gave me

59:13

drink. I was a stranger and you took

59:15

me in. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick

59:17

and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to

59:19

me. And the righteous answer, listen to

59:22

their answer, Lord, when

59:24

did we see you hungry and feed you? We're

59:26

thirsty and give you drink. When did we see you a stranger and

59:28

take you in or naked and clothed you? When did we see you

59:30

sicker in prison and come to you? And

59:32

the king will answer and say to them,

59:34

I say to you, in as much

59:36

as you did it to one of the least of

59:39

these, my brethren, you did it to me. Right?

59:42

So what does that mean? The righteous didn't even know what

59:44

they were doing. They didn't know they were serving the king.

59:46

They didn't know they were being good to him

59:48

or doing what he wanted them to do. They

59:50

weren't aware. They just did it. Now, this means

59:52

something, right? It means that it

59:54

was not about what they did. It was not about

59:56

their good deeds. It was about who they were. He

1:00:00

says something to a Samaritan lady, I believe in the

1:00:02

Gospel of John. The Samaritans were not of the same

1:00:04

bloodline to the Jews and they had become Jews later

1:00:06

and they didn't get the doctrines right. And

1:00:08

he says to the Samaritan lady,

1:00:10

he says, you Samaritans worship what you

1:00:13

do not know. We worship

1:00:15

what we do know for salvation is

1:00:17

from the Jews. You

1:00:20

don't know what you're worshiping. You're not getting

1:00:22

it right, you don't worship it. But when

1:00:24

Jesus says, love your neighbor, and

1:00:26

somebody says to him, what does that mean, what's

1:00:28

my neighbor? He tells a story, right, he tells

1:00:30

a parable. He tells a story about a man

1:00:32

who gets mugged and his line injured on the

1:00:34

side of the road and a priest goes by

1:00:36

him. Now this is a guy who's saying all

1:00:39

the right, he knows all the right things, he

1:00:41

knows all the rules, he's got the theology down

1:00:43

pat and he walks past the guy who's been

1:00:45

mugged. And then a Levite, he's the guy who

1:00:47

does the ceremonies in the temple, he goes by,

1:00:49

but he can't do it because he's on

1:00:51

his iPhone saying Christ is king, you know, but

1:00:53

he's not watching the skyline by the side of

1:00:56

the road. But a Samaritan who worships what he

1:00:58

does not know, goes by and takes

1:01:01

the man to the inn, binds his wounds, gives the

1:01:03

innkeeper money, says, listen, I gotta go do my business,

1:01:05

but I'm gonna come back, let him run

1:01:07

up a bill, if he runs up a bill, I'll pay for

1:01:09

him. And Jesus says, be like him,

1:01:11

be like the guy who worships what he

1:01:13

doesn't know, he's not worshiping right, but

1:01:16

he does, he is, it's not what

1:01:18

he does, it's who he is. He doesn't

1:01:20

even think about it, he just does what

1:01:22

he does. He loves that person. So

1:01:25

what is it about the Samaritan? It's

1:01:28

not his acts of charity, it's not, it's who he is.

1:01:30

And how do I know this? It's because of one of

1:01:32

the most famous passages in the Bible and one of the

1:01:34

greatest pieces of writing in the English language. It's

1:01:37

1 Corinthians 13. And

1:01:39

you've all heard it because you've all heard it

1:01:41

at weddings, but listen to it carefully, listen to

1:01:44

what Paul says, okay? If

1:01:46

I speak in the tongues of men and of angels but

1:01:48

do not have love, agape love, he's talking about the kind

1:01:50

of love that makes a Samaritan pull over to the side

1:01:52

of the road and help this guy. He

1:01:55

says, if I do not have agape love, I'm a

1:01:57

resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. the

1:02:00

gift of prophecy and can fathom

1:02:02

all mysteries and all knowledge if I

1:02:04

have a faith that can

1:02:07

move mountains. That's a faith in Christ he's

1:02:09

talking about. If I have a faith that

1:02:11

can move mountains but I do not have

1:02:13

agape love, I am nothing. If

1:02:16

I give all I possess to the poor and

1:02:18

give over my body the hardship to martyrdom, but

1:02:21

do not have agape love, I gain nothing. If

1:02:24

you have faith that can move mountains, give all your

1:02:26

money to the poor, you're doing good deeds and

1:02:28

you have faith and you're going to church,

1:02:31

you believe, you understand all

1:02:34

the mysteries, you're a better theologian than I am, you

1:02:36

got all this theology but you don't have agape, you're

1:02:39

not 80% there, you just need a little agape

1:02:41

to get over that last space, you're not 50%

1:02:43

there, you know, you're just halfway but you gotta

1:02:45

have agape. You have

1:02:48

nothing, zippo, right?

1:02:50

You have nothing without agape

1:02:52

love. That's I think the

1:02:54

transformation that God is looking

1:02:56

for. You

1:02:58

know, you didn't let God do

1:03:00

the work. He was so busy arguing about

1:03:02

Mary's sex life and transubstantiation and what you

1:03:04

were supposed to say online and what you

1:03:07

were supposed to declare, you didn't have in

1:03:09

your heart the agape love, so

1:03:11

you have nothing and Jesus says,

1:03:13

I do not know you, I

1:03:15

do not know you. That's how I read the

1:03:17

gospel. That's what I think it means. That's what

1:03:19

I think God is looking for from me. That's

1:03:21

the only thing I have to contribute because I

1:03:23

have no vote on the judgment. I have no

1:03:25

vote on the judgment. I think he's looking

1:03:27

for me day by day, little by

1:03:30

little in his time, not mine, to transform

1:03:32

myself into the image of God which is

1:03:34

the image of agape love because we know

1:03:36

that God is love. And

1:03:38

so I know this

1:03:41

makes people angry and I think it makes them feel

1:03:43

less special and less protected in their faith. I'm

1:03:46

just gonna tell it to you honestly. I

1:03:48

think it's best to worship what you know. I do. I think

1:03:50

it's, first of all, it's just enlightening and it lets you know

1:03:52

a lot of things, but I don't have a vote on

1:03:55

the last judgment and

1:03:57

neither does the pope and neither does Nick Flammer.

1:04:00

or Jeremy Warring or anyone else. There's

1:04:02

a qualification for voting on the last

1:04:04

judgment and it's not photo ID, you

1:04:06

have to be crucified in the act

1:04:08

of being the incarnate God. If you

1:04:10

didn't do that, you have no vote,

1:04:12

right? There's only one person has a

1:04:14

vote. And I believe the judgment will

1:04:17

be perfect. And I

1:04:19

believe it will be those who come

1:04:21

before the King and say, we called you Lord, we

1:04:23

cast out demons, we had faith that could move mountains,

1:04:25

we posted Christ as King on X, and Jesus may

1:04:27

say to them, I do not know you. Maybe not,

1:04:30

maybe everybody will be saved. But

1:04:32

I believe there will be people, there will

1:04:34

be some to whom the

1:04:36

King says, inherit the kingdom because you serve me

1:04:38

and they will say, served you. We didn't even

1:04:40

know you. We don't even know you. And

1:04:43

the King will say, well, remember when you spoke

1:04:45

up for the women who were

1:04:47

raped to death on October 7th, remember when you

1:04:50

used your powerful voice on the daily wire to

1:04:52

stand up for babies who were killed and

1:04:55

their parents who were killed in front of their children. Remember

1:04:57

when you did that? That was me

1:04:59

you were talking for. You were speaking up for me. And

1:05:01

you know, while I'm pissing people off, while I'm pissing

1:05:03

people off, there may be a Muslim guy behind him.

1:05:06

And he says, while you were speaking up for

1:05:09

the children dying now in Gaza, when I'm speaking

1:05:11

up justly for them, you were speaking

1:05:13

up for me. So

1:05:15

I'm not going to judge because I'm not the judge.

1:05:17

I'm going to go on trying to reach the image

1:05:19

of God within me and to see the image of

1:05:21

God in the guy across from

1:05:23

me, no matter what he is, because that's

1:05:25

my job, that's my assignment. That's what I

1:05:27

was told to do. So

1:05:30

this is Good Friday. This is the day when even

1:05:32

the saints despaired and panicked and ran away and abandoned

1:05:34

God because despair is a

1:05:36

self-fulfilling prophecy. But on Easter, Mary

1:05:39

Magdalene went to Christ's tomb and

1:05:41

it was empty. And she began to weep because

1:05:43

she thought maybe they'd stolen the body. And she didn't know

1:05:46

where it was. And she

1:05:48

turned around and she saw Jesus standing in the

1:05:50

garden and she didn't know who it was.

1:05:52

Now this is a woman who knew him well in

1:05:55

life. She knew him well. She had saved her, cast

1:05:57

out demons from her, saved her as the way she

1:05:59

was. Legend goes from prostitution, she

1:06:02

didn't recognize him. She thought he was

1:06:05

the gardener. She thought the guy was the gardener

1:06:07

wandering around and then he

1:06:09

spoke her name and

1:06:11

then her eyes were opened. So

1:06:14

I am not worried about Ben or Jordan

1:06:16

or a lot of my friends who are in a

1:06:18

different place than I am religiously. The

1:06:21

righteous in the end may not

1:06:23

look like what you think. The

1:06:25

saints may be people you despise, like

1:06:28

the Jews despise the Samaritans, like many

1:06:30

people who are Christians now who call

1:06:32

themselves Christians despise the Jews. They

1:06:35

might have met Jesus on the street and not known it was

1:06:37

him, but gave him what they had to give him. They

1:06:40

reached out to him, they gave him what he needed, they

1:06:42

served the least of them and there will come a time,

1:06:44

there will come a time in his

1:06:47

good time when he speaks their

1:06:49

name and their eyes will be open and

1:06:51

their knees will bow to the king. So

1:06:55

to the people screaming at me on X,

1:06:58

I can tell you this, I can guarantee, here's something

1:07:00

I can guarantee you, that's just what I believe, but

1:07:02

here's something I can guarantee you. I am not worth

1:07:05

destroying your life with rage and hatred, which I can

1:07:07

see you doing it, not worth it. Let

1:07:10

it go, let it go because you do not know, you

1:07:12

do not know who you're gonna meet on

1:07:15

the last day and you do not know who is going

1:07:17

to inherit the kingdom and it may not be

1:07:19

people you like. So my advice

1:07:21

to you, but also to all of you who

1:07:23

are my friends and my listeners, my love, have

1:07:26

a wonderful, wonderful Easter because

1:07:29

whether you know his name or not, Christ

1:07:32

has risen, he has risen

1:07:34

indeed. I'm

1:07:36

gonna stop here, I don't have time

1:07:38
