More information is coming out in the case of Jordan

0:02

Neely the mentally ill homeless

0:04

man with a long criminal record who was killed

0:07

on A New York subway by a former

0:09

Marine last week.

0:11

The libs are calling the killing murder

0:13

Conservatives are calling it justified

0:16

the issue hinges on whether

0:18

Neely posed a real threat

0:21

to people on the train

0:22

According to witness testimony shortly after

0:25

Neely boarded the F train on Monday. He started

0:27

screaming at passengers quote I'll

0:30

hurt anyone on this train Adding

0:33

that he was quote ready to die Should

0:37

his threats have been taken seriously?

0:39

Well judging by his criminal record

0:42

Yes in 2019 Neely

0:44

walked up to a 60 year old man Philemon

0:47

Castillo Baltazar and punched

0:50

him in the face a couple years

0:52

after that Neely walked up to a 67 year

0:55

old woman and punched her in the face

0:57

over the course of just eight years from 2013 to 2021 Neely

1:01

was arrested four times for assault.

1:03

He was arrested many other times for many other reasons

1:06

There was an active warrant out for his

1:08

arrest again for assault at

1:10

the time of his death as one of Neely's

1:13

victims Explained quote the Marine

1:15

shouldn't be punished.

1:17

Who knows what that guy might have done to other

1:19

people of course

1:23

Not only should the Marine not be

1:25

punished. He should be given an award

1:27

for valor He should be given a key

1:29

to the city This hero stepped

1:32

up when the police couldn't since they

1:34

have long been undermined by New York's pro-crime

1:36

political leaders

1:38

This guy protected people from a violent criminal

1:41

threatening violence A lot of conservatives

1:43

are gonna want to sit on the fence here They're gonna

1:45

want to wait for more evidence to come out But

1:47

the reality is this case should

1:49

never go to trial and if

1:52

it does go to trial this Marine Will

1:54

never get a fair one.

1:55

The media are already working overtime

1:57

to convict him before a jury is convened There

2:00

is a lot more

2:01

riding on this trial

2:04

than the fate of one man. If

2:06

he is convicted,

2:07

then only a madman would ever step

2:10

up to protect people in our increasingly

2:12

lawless society again.

2:14

Injustice will spread, criminals will

2:17

flourish, more innocent people will be harmed

2:19

and killed. It remains to be seen

2:21

whether or not moderates will fall for this

2:23

preposterous witch hunt in the same way

2:26

that they did during the heyday of BLM,

2:28

as they did in absurd cases such

2:30

as the case of Breonna Taylor.

2:32

Conservatives at least should not fall

2:34

for it. Conservatives

2:37

at least should stand firm. And someone

2:39

should give that Marine a medal. I'm

3:08

We've got a very important video

3:10

coming up on

3:12

misgendering. It's

3:15

not just an important video in that it's going viral

3:18

and people are crying and screaming about it and

3:20

claiming transphobia, whatever. It's an important video

3:22

in that it tells you a lot about what

3:25

is going on in the psyche of people with

3:27

transgenderism. So we'll get to that in just a little

3:29

bit.

3:30

First though, the media are

3:32

just off and running. They're off and running

3:34

on the Jordan-Nealay killing. They're off and

3:36

running on this shooting in Texas where

3:39

there is not a ton of information out now except

3:41

for this.

3:42

We know that there was a shooting in

3:44

Texas, eight people were killed, it was

3:46

at a shopping mall and immediately

3:49

we were told this was a far right shooting. This is

3:51

a white supremacist,

3:54

neo-Nazi, all the rest of it.

3:56

Then we see who the shooter is. The

3:58

shooter is a very, very Hispanic. Hispanic man.

4:01

Not even a white Hispanic

4:03

man, like the media have tried to claim when

4:05

they try to conclude

4:08

that white racism is behind something,

4:11

then they find out that the guy is not really

4:13

white, like George Zimmerman or something like that in the killing

4:15

of Trayvon Martin. So in this case, this guy,

4:18

whatever he is, he sure ain't white. Nevertheless,

4:21

the media are persisting. They're saying that

4:23

it was white supremacy, it was neo-nazism, it

4:26

was far right politics there. So

4:29

all we know so far, it's not really

4:32

the facts of the case, not really much about the identity

4:34

of the shooter,

4:36

not very much about his motivations. All we

4:38

know is the same thing that we know with

4:40

every other shooting, with every other tragedy, with

4:42

really every other aspect of politics,

4:45

which is that the media are going to blame

4:47

white people, men,

4:50

tradition,

4:52

probably Christianity. They've

4:55

got their conclusion, they will fit any

4:58

circumstances in to fix that,

5:01

to fit that rather, even if it doesn't make any

5:03

sense. Now, speaking of prosecutions,

5:07

did you see, did

5:09

you see

5:10

the deposition of Donald John Trump in

5:14

this case that they brought against him

5:17

alleging that he raped a woman in

5:19

the 1990s? No

5:22

one really ever heard about this for decades

5:24

until coincidentally he's running for president.

5:27

And then this lady who's known as something of

5:29

a fabulous, that comes out and

5:31

says, he raped me, even though

5:33

her, obviously her story didn't make any sense

5:36

at all. So

5:37

Trump is deposed in

5:39

this case. And this

5:42

deposition shows you why

5:45

it remains the case today as

5:48

what it was six months ago,

5:51

what it was a year ago, what it was two years ago, that

5:53

Donald Trump is the most likely 2024 Republican

5:56

nominee, take it away.

5:57

And you say it again, this

5:59

is. become very famous in

6:01

this video. I just start kissing

6:04

them. It's like a magnet. Just

6:06

kiss. I don't even wait. And

6:08

when you're a star, they let you do it. You

6:10

can do anything. Grab them by the

6:13

p***. You can do anything. That's what you

6:15

said, correct? Well, historically, that's true with stars.

6:18

It's true with stars that they can grab women by

6:20

the pussy? Well, if

6:22

you look over the last million years, I guess

6:24

that's been largely true. Not always,

6:26

but largely true. Unfortunately,

6:30

unfortunately.

6:31

And you consider yourself to

6:33

be a star? I

6:37

think you can say that, yeah. I

6:43

don't know what I was expecting when I started

6:45

playing this clip, but it exceeded

6:47

even my expectations. And you

6:49

might hate Trump and you might think he's

6:51

a bad nominee, even if you kind of like Trump, and

6:54

you might be pulling your hair out.

6:57

Tell me that isn't funny. Tell

6:59

me, yeah, historically, that's true. What

7:04

do you mean historically, that's true? Oh, I don't know.

7:06

For like the last million years, I think it's

7:08

true that

7:09

stars basically

7:11

get to do whatever they want and women

7:13

throw themselves at stars. Well, what

7:16

do you think you're a star? Yeah,

7:19

I think you would say that I am a star. I'm the most

7:21

famous person in this country and

7:23

have been for at least a decade. Yeah.

7:27

This is leadership

7:30

in an age such as ours. In

7:33

a more civilized age, maybe this would

7:35

not be leadership. In a more civilized age,

7:38

this might be considered crass and crude

7:40

and unbecoming of a statesman. But

7:43

in an age such as ours, where

7:46

the political class is so corrupt, where

7:48

they're going after this guy on

7:51

a campaign donation to his own campaign

7:54

six, seven years ago, which was totally

7:56

legal, wasn't even a misdemeanor, and they're trying to pretend it was

7:58

a felony. In that kind of... of age where they spy

8:01

on his campaign and they pretend that he's colluding with the

8:03

Russians, then that doesn't work. They pretend he's colluding

8:05

with the Ukrainians, then that doesn't work. They're

8:07

pretending he raped a woman in 1993 or something in

8:10

an age that is so

8:13

transparently corrupt. The only

8:15

response to the predations of

8:17

this political class is to

8:19

mock them. Say, yeah, I said

8:22

that, you're right.

8:23

Yeah, that was pretty true what I said.

8:25

Yeah, it's always been true, actually. Yeah,

8:28

oh, am I a star? Yeah, I'm a huge star. That's

8:31

why you're trying to get me. And he went on. Trump

8:33

was not going to leave

8:35

it merely at that. Trump then turned

8:37

the questioning on his interrogator. When

8:40

you said in that video that Ms.

8:43

Leeds would not be your first choice,

8:46

you were referring to her physical

8:48

looks, correct? Just the

8:50

overall, I look at her, I

8:52

see her, I hear what she says, whatever.

8:55

You wouldn't be a choice of mine either, to be honest

8:57

with you. I hope you're not insulted. Under

9:00

any circumstances, have any interest

9:02

in you. I'm honest

9:05

when I say it. She, I

9:07

would not have any interest in.

9:09

Where do I donate? I know I don't make endorsements

9:11

in primaries. Where do I get more of that?

9:14

That's what I, not

9:16

rudeness toward women, not

9:19

forish behavior, but

9:22

you know what I want? I want a

9:24

guy who looks

9:26

the entire liberal establishment

9:29

the whole political class, this

9:32

decayed, decadent, desiccated

9:34

political class. I want a guy who looks

9:36

them in the face and flips them

9:39

the bird. That is what

9:41

I want in my candidate. And

9:44

furthermore, you might say, well, this kind

9:46

of behavior, maybe it played in 2016, maybe,

9:50

but it's not gonna play in 2024. First

9:52

of all, there's some evidence that it will

9:54

play in 2024. We'll get to an important poll in just a second.

9:57

But second of all, let's say you're right. Let's

9:59

say that they... This doesn't work, it turns off too many women

10:02

voters. I'm not convinced it does. Let's say

10:04

it turns off suburban voters, maybe that's true.

10:07

Tell me that guy does not have the best

10:09

chance of becoming the nominee. You

10:13

could tell me right now, but the policies

10:15

and the ability to execute the policies,

10:18

it's not there and the other candidates are, yeah,

10:20

maybe.

10:22

But political campaigns are dynamic, people

10:24

are attracted to personalities. The person

10:26

with the biggest personality almost always wins. Tell

10:29

me that guy does

10:31

not have the best chance going into 2024. If

10:35

you wanna claim, well, Trump has lost a step, he's

10:37

not as quick as he used to be, watch that deposition.

10:41

Well, Trump, he's moderated

10:43

his views. Watch that

10:45

deposition. Yet again, the

10:48

people trying to destroy Trump are

10:51

giving him the best boost to his campaign that

10:54

he's had in three years. Now, when you wanna

10:56

our currency is crashing and

11:09

will soon no longer be the world standard, which

11:11

will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years. There

11:14

are three reasons the central banks are dumping

11:16

the US dollar, inflation, deficit

11:18

spending, and our insurmountable national

11:21

12:11

Best argument against Trump, 2024 right

12:13

now, best argument, especially for someone like Ron DeSantis,

12:16

is that Trump can't win again. And maybe

12:18

Trump can't win again. I'm not convinced he can.

12:21

But there is a new poll out from Washington Post

12:23

ABC News, take it with whatever grain assault you want,

12:26

that

12:26

Donald Trump is up seven points.

12:29

Not up seven points over DeSantis, up

12:31

seven points over Joe Biden. Poll

12:35

shows 49% of respondents said they would definitely

12:38

or probably vote for Trump against Biden or

12:40

that they lean toward voting for Trump. Whereas

12:42

Biden in such a scenario only gets 42%.

12:44

Now they polled the same question

12:47

with DeSantis.

12:48

Curiously, DeSantis doesn't do as well

12:50

as Trump. Pretty close. And he's up over

12:52

Biden by the same amount,

12:54

seven points.

12:55

But only 48% of

12:58

people say that they would definitely or probably vote

13:00

for DeSantis over

13:02

Biden.

13:04

And 41% of people say they would vote for

13:06

Biden over DeSantis.

13:08

These are still good numbers for DeSantis. The

13:11

DeSantis campaign is far from over, though

13:13

they do have an uphill battle. But this is bad

13:15

news for them. Because if this

13:18

keeps up, then DeSantis

13:21

loses the best argument he has

13:23

for his candidacy, which is I'm Trump

13:25

without the downsides. I'm Trump who

13:27

can win. So then what the DeSantis campaign

13:29

will have to do is pivot.

13:31

And the DeSantis campaign will have to be less about electability.

13:34

And the DeSantis campaign will have to be less about ideological

13:39

purity or precision or sophistication.

13:42

What the DeSantis campaign then has to become about

13:44

is effectiveness at wielding power

13:47

in office. If it looks like any

13:49

Republican nominee is going

13:51

to beat Biden, which again, I'm very

13:53

skeptical of all of these polls. I'm skeptical

13:56

of

13:56

the way that elections are now conducted in this country.

14:00

Let's say that the Republican can beat Biden,

14:02

then the argument for DeSantis has to be, I

14:05

will wield power more effectively

14:07

than Trump is able to wield power. And it's a hard

14:09

argument to make because there is some

14:11

empirical basis for it. You can look at what he's done in Florida,

14:15

but a lot of it's gonna be unknown because the federal government's

14:17

different than Florida. And in that case, if that's what

14:19

the election becomes about, then the election is gonna

14:21

hinge on things like DeSantis'

14:24

fight with Disney. Looked like DeSantis

14:26

beat Disney, then it looked like Disney beat DeSantis, now

14:28

it's kind of up in the air again. He's gonna have to beat Disney

14:31

to be able to make that claim. It's going

14:33

to hinge on DeSantis' flight with

14:35

the schools in Florida,

14:37

up to the collegiate level, but certainly K through 12. Can

14:41

Ron DeSantis stop the schools from transing

14:43

the kids?

14:44

If he can, he's got a good argument

14:46

in his campaign against Trump. If he can't, he

14:48

doesn't.

14:50

Speaking of the

14:52

transgender issue, which no one can ever shut

14:54

up about,

14:56

there's a video going viral of a guy

14:59

explaining why

15:01

there really is a genocide against

15:04

transgender people, quote unquote. Now you

15:06

remember after I gave my CPAC speech a

15:08

month or two ago, there was the claim that I was

15:10

calling for genocide and this was part of the broader

15:13

genocide against the transgender people.

15:15

And obviously the only way they could make that argument was by

15:17

rewriting what I said and rewriting what

15:19

lots of other people said and making up

15:21

a bunch of nonsense. But here is the quantitative

15:24

argument

15:28

for why there is a trans

15:30

genocide. Please

15:32

stop misusing the word genocide. It's offensive to

15:35

Jewish people. Yes,

15:37

here's the thing though. I'm not misusing the word. Transgender

15:40

people are facing an act of genocide right

15:42

now. The laws that are being passed

15:44

against my community right now are absolutely

15:47

directly responsible for the astronomical

15:50

unaliving rate that we have. 52% of

15:53

trans people last year considered unaliving.

15:58

Sidebar, I've noticed. this

16:00

weird euphemism popping

16:03

up, unaliving, instead of saying

16:05

killing or suicide or something, they say

16:07

unaliving.

16:09

And at first I thought it was just this kind of dark,

16:11

kind of cutesy

16:15

euphemism, but I've noticed it popping up

16:17

more and more now. And I

16:20

wonder if it's just part of the broader project

16:22

of political correctness or wokeness or whatever

16:25

you wanna call it, of using euphemisms

16:28

for everything, including now suicide,

16:31

even when they're trying to make an argument. It's a little bit of a sidebar

16:33

in the way that the Libs use language to deny

16:35

reality. And obviously this guy is especially using

16:37

language to deny reality, because he pretends

16:39

to be a woman and he pretends that people can change their

16:41

sex. But what he says is 52% of people,

16:46

of trans people considered

16:48

suicide last year. That's

16:52

always been the case.

16:54

That's the problem.

16:55

41% of transgender identifying

16:58

people attempt suicide.

17:01

That's one of the arguments against

17:04

transgenderism. Transgenderism, which even

17:06

if you're a big supporter of transgenderism, you

17:08

have to say it's a social contagion.

17:11

It is a little strange how the numbers

17:13

of trans identifying people have

17:15

exploded in recent years, especially among

17:18

younger kids

17:19

who are being indoctrinated into this. Unless you

17:21

believe there's something in the water turning the frogs gay, you

17:23

have to believe this is a social contagion. And

17:25

if it's a social contagion, we should try to contain it.

17:29

But you're not allowed to say that because we're supposed to tell

17:31

people now that transgenderism is wonderful.

17:34

If you come out and you're a man and you pretend to be a woman, you're

17:36

gonna be so happy you're gonna be euphoric. But this guy's

17:39

admitting, no, the numbers don't bear that out.

17:42

52% of trans identifying people

17:45

considered killing themselves.

17:47

41% actually tried to do it.

17:50

So you should do everything

17:52

you can in your power to stop your kid

17:54

from identifying as transgenderism. But they won't

17:57

take it that far. They're saying, no, no, no. People are just

17:59

intrinsically.

17:59

transgenderism, they're born that way, which is

18:02

a really rich argument coming from people who

18:04

are claiming that you're not even born with your own sex.

18:07

Not even sex itself is immutable. Not

18:09

even your biology is immutable, but somehow

18:11

this ideology, this is totally immutable,

18:14

you can't change it. Okay, obviously not

18:16

very coherent. But

18:18

then they go on, they say, the reason that

18:20

they're suicidal is because of the transphobes.

18:26

Society used to be much more transphobic than

18:28

it is today.

18:31

For all of human history until

18:34

five minutes ago,

18:36

society thought that transgenderism

18:38

was preposterous. They wouldn't let boys

18:40

into the girls' room, they wouldn't let boys play on girls'

18:42

swim teams. They would mock men

18:45

who dressed up like women. They made

18:47

it illegal in many places across

18:49

this country and across the world. But across

18:51

this country, even in places like San Francisco,

18:54

if you can believe it.

18:55

Today, we live in the least transphobic,

18:58

meaning most pro-trans society

19:00

ever in human history.

19:02

And this guy's saying, and the majority

19:04

of trans people still consider

19:07

killing themselves. Why

19:10

is that? Whatever

19:12

you wanna blame that on, the one thing

19:14

you can't blame that on is quote unquote transphobia.

19:18

Because transphobia, quote unquote, has

19:21

plummeted. And

19:23

the suicidality has remained the same

19:26

or gone up a little bit, which tells you

19:28

that the suicidality

19:30

and the anxiety and the depression as borne out by other

19:32

social scientific surveys, and more importantly, is borne

19:34

out by philosophy and your common sense in your

19:37

head,

19:39

the suicidality and all of that comes from

19:41

transgender identity itself.

19:44

It's intrinsic to it. And it's intrinsic

19:47

to it because it's out of accord

19:49

with reality. And when you live according

19:52

to lies, and when you go to great lengths

19:54

to live according to lies, and when you mutilate

19:56

yourself based on lies, and when you sterilize yourself

19:58

based on lies, and when you child,

19:59

off parts of your body that are very dear to you

20:02

based on lies, you're going

20:04

to be depressed because even

20:07

if you have a slight euphoria

20:10

in the moment just as you might from

20:12

any disordered activity that

20:14

tickles you in a certain way,

20:16

once that feeling passes you are going

20:18

to be left with the undeniable reality

20:21

that you have radically

20:25

changed your life or

20:27

the worse because

20:30

of a lie. Now when you want to look

23:29

Now, speaking of transgenderism, Chicago

23:32

gay bars are boycotting

23:34

Transyzer Bush. Yes,

23:36

you think, why are the gay bars boycotting

23:39

Transyzer Bush? I thought it was the conservatives boycotting

23:41

Transyzer Bush. We are also boycotting

23:43

Transyzer Bush. Everybody is boycotting

23:45

Transyzer Bush. Why? Because

23:48

Bud Light and the team over there have taken

23:50

their most clear step to

23:53

distance themselves from Dylan Mulvaney.

23:57

we didn't sign off on it, we don't like it. Please

23:59

leave us alone. But

24:01

they didn't quite go far enough to

24:03

earn back the support of the conservatives who

24:06

actually bought their beer. They've just

24:08

gone far enough to

24:10

irritate the leftists

24:13

and the pro-LGBT people who have

24:15

been buying Bud Light in protest of the conservatives,

24:17

not buying Bud Light in protest of transgenderism.

24:20

So Bud Light,

24:21

yet again, has

24:24

made the worst decision available

24:27

to it. What are they saying?

24:31

Several gay bars in Chicago are boycotting

24:33

actually all AB in-bev

24:35

products. That's Anheuser-Busch was

24:38

bought by this Belgian company in-bev. And

24:41

they're doing it because of anti-transgender actions

24:43

and statements. Two Bears, Tavern

24:45

Group, Bears. Isn't that a

24:47

gay term, right? About like big, big

24:49

guys? About like big hairy guys. It

24:52

owns four gay bars in Chicago. Maybe it's just

24:54

a Chicago thing like the Chicago Bears. I don't know. I don't

24:56

know. I don't really want to know. Say all two Bears, Tavern

24:58

Group, bars are discontinuing

25:01

Anheuser-Busch in-bev products as a result of

25:03

the Brewers anti-transgender actions and

25:05

statements. Their response quote shows how

25:07

little Anheuser-Busch cares about the LGBTQIA

25:10

plus community and in particular

25:13

transgender people who have been under unrelenting

25:15

attack in this country.

25:18

Bud Light doesn't listen to me. They don't

25:20

want my advice, I guess. I don't know. They keep making

25:22

the worst decision possible. There is

25:25

only one course of action that can help

25:27

you,

25:27

Bud Light. Your first course of action that could have helped you was

25:30

shutting up. They couldn't do that. So, okay,

25:32

your second course of action, the only

25:34

one that can help you right now, is you need to come out firmly

25:37

and strongly against transgenderism,

25:40

against the whole preposterous ideology.

25:43

You will never win over the LGBT-LMNOP

25:46

people.

25:47

There aren't enough of them to sustain

25:49

your beer company, first of all.

25:52

Second of all, the ideology

25:54

is completely out of step with reality, and so you're

25:56

going to alienate the broader public that

25:58

does not

25:59

have this particular pathology.

26:03

But three, if

26:06

you stand in the middle of the road, you are going to get hit

26:08

by a truck. There is no way to avoid

26:10

this particular issue. Certain political issues,

26:13

you can avoid them. As I made clear in my CPAC

26:15

speech, which set the whole liberal establishment

26:18

spinning, this is one of those issues where

26:20

you can't. Either women have bathrooms or

26:22

they don't. This is one of those fundamental

26:24

issues.

26:25

And the loving,

26:28

compassionate, truthful, smart

26:33

business decision kind of response that you can give

26:35

here is, we oppose transgenderism,

26:37

that was wrong. We fired the people who sponsored

26:40

Dylan Mulvaney. We support frat

26:42

boys and construction workers, and

26:44

boys and girls having their own bathrooms. We

26:47

are strongly against men competing

26:49

against women in sports. We're strongly on the

26:51

side of reality.

26:52

Bud, why, sir, this bud's

26:54

for you. We're gonna recast

26:57

the frogs. We're firing Mulvaney.

26:59

We're gonna put the frogs back in the commercials. And you know what?

27:01

We're not even gonna turn the frickin' frogs gay. We're gonna

27:03

go back to normal.

27:05

Please buy our beer again. We are sorry.

27:08

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea

27:10

moxie ma culpa.

27:12

If by the light came out and said that,

27:15

people would buy their beer again.

27:17

Conservatives who don't even like their beer would probably buy

27:19

it just to show support for

27:22

this statement and to show the rest of corporate

27:24

America that they need to get on the page

27:27

too.

27:28

They would do it. Anything short of that is

27:30

not gonna work. It's just going to irritate everybody,

27:33

and then Bud Light's gonna go away. Speaking

27:36

of,

27:37

not gay bars, but speaking of places

27:40

with silly costumes that have a reputation

27:42

for being a little bit light in the loafers.

27:46

Mary Old England just had a coronation

27:48

over the weekend. Maybe you watched it. Maybe

27:50

you saw the plumes and

27:53

the robes and the carriages

27:55

and everything.

27:58

I don't have much to say about the coronation.

27:59

Coronation obviously the United States broke

28:02

away from England some time ago the

28:05

UK broke away from the my

28:08

church sometime before

28:10

that and

28:13

It's not my thing I get it, but

28:16

I did watch the coronation and I

28:20

Did enjoy large parts of the coronation? There

28:24

were many many faults to find with it. There

28:26

are many many faults to find with King George

28:29

There are many many faults to find with what

28:32

has happened with the royal family

28:34

and with the UK in general, but

28:38

In a world that is so fanatically

28:41

opposed to tradition How

28:44

could a conservative not celebrate

28:47

the coronation of the king of England? You

28:51

don't need to be a monarchist you don't need to be a Brit

28:54

you don't need to be an Anglican you don't

28:56

need to Charles you don't

28:58

need to do any of those things

29:01

in a world that tells you past

29:04

bad present crisis future

29:06

always better in a world that tells you

29:08

that if you don't Chop

29:11

off your kids genitals. You're a bad parent.

29:13

We're gonna take your kids from you in a world that

29:15

tells you that Christianity

29:17

is a joke and God doesn't exist

29:20

and we're just a bunch of meat sacks that

29:22

need to eat the bugs and live in pods And

29:24

to own nothing and be happy

29:27

In a world that tells you that then even

29:29

the coronation of a pretty liberal

29:31

guy who pals around with Klaus Schwab Who

29:34

has kooky religious views who?

29:37

Has all his problems

29:39

in that world It seems to me a conservative

29:42

has to celebrate the maintenance of

29:44

some kind of tradition on a chair That's

29:46

what 700 years old or something like

29:48

that in Westminster Abbey Which

29:50

has hosted every crowning

29:52

of a king going back to the Norman conquest

29:55

in? in

29:57

Just it gives you something to hold on

29:59

to And that's, I think, what

30:01

we're grappling with in our political

30:03

order. We have nothing left to hold onto. Part

30:05

of this is the building.

30:07

Okay, part of this is the fact that this is a big,

30:10

beautiful abbey, and we don't build things like this anymore.

30:12

We don't even build big

30:14

courtrooms, courthouses, and train stations

30:16

anymore.

30:17

Used to be, early 20th century New York, if

30:19

you walked into a courthouse,

30:21

you were in a big grand place. You felt

30:24

like you had dignity. When you came into New York

30:26

City, you showed up either in Grand Central

30:28

or the Old Penn Station, and it was big and grand,

30:30

and you felt like a person with dignity. And

30:33

then everything has become smaller, and courthouses

30:35

now look like little meeting rooms from some paper

30:37

company, and train stations look

30:39

like little rat mazes. That what they did to New York,

30:42

the Old Penn Station, they put it all underground, and

30:44

you enter New York feeling like a mouse or a rat. And

30:48

that changes how you view yourself

30:50

and you view your society. The reason we want big

30:53

courthouses, the reason we want big palaces,

30:55

the reason we want big cathedrals and abbeys, for that matter,

30:58

is for the feeling of salinity, the feeling of continuity

31:01

over generations, to build those cathedrals. It would take

31:03

generations, many, many decades, over

31:05

a century sometimes.

31:08

And that feeling

31:10

of inertia and weight and history and

31:12

near permanence has been lost. And if

31:15

we can hold onto that to get through

31:17

a little bit of this cultural madness,

31:19

then I'll look past

31:21

a lot of the faults, even if somebody like King

31:24

Charles. I won't even go down

31:26

the line of thinking

31:28

that gets us to the true King

31:30

of England, who's obviously the Jacobite successor,

31:33

the Archduke Franz of Bavaria,

31:35

or his brother Maximilian, or his

31:38

grandson, Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein.

31:40

I'm not even gonna go down that path. I

31:43

just think we ought to celebrate the

31:45

very fact of a celebration of

31:47

tradition, like the coronation. Speaking

31:49

of our world leaders,

31:51

the nearest thing we have to permanence in America right now is

31:53

just Joe Biden, because he's so old. But

31:56

we don't get any of the salinity that we get out of old

31:58

buildings and old traditions with Joe Biden.

31:59

Biden quite the opposite. He just blows around in

32:02

the wind. Joe Biden was asked why

32:04

America should elect somebody who

32:06

is so

32:08

much older than the CEO

32:11

of a big company, let's say. And

32:13

he says the reason is

32:15

wisdom. There's

32:17

not a Fortune 500 company in the

32:19

world looking to hire

32:22

a CEO in his

32:24

80s. So why

32:26

would an 82 year old Joe Biden

32:29

be the right person for the most

32:31

important job in the world?

32:32

Because I've acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom.

32:35

I know more than the vast majority of people are more

32:38

experienced than anybody's ever run for the office.

32:40

And I think I've proven myself to be honorable

32:43

as well as also effective.

32:47

None of that is true,

32:49

unfortunately, and I'm trying to be as charitable

32:51

as I can. I think, well, the one thing you

32:53

can say about Joe Biden, he's been around a long time.

32:56

He's been in the Senate since 1972. So

33:00

he

33:02

must have learned something, right? He must have some

33:04

wisdom, right? No, wisdom

33:06

is that which God gives to man so

33:09

that he can better see God's

33:11

plan for his life.

33:13

Wisdom is not

33:16

gained strictly as a matter of being

33:18

around for a long time. Wisdom

33:21

has a connection to objective truth.

33:25

So you can be a young person

33:27

and have wisdom.

33:29

You can be wise beyond your years,

33:31

as some people say, and you can be a very old

33:33

person and have no wisdom at all.

33:37

Your wisdom can and we

33:39

hope usually does increase over time.

33:43

But if you have no regard for

33:45

the truth, you cannot have any wisdom. And

33:47

Joe Biden doesn't have any regard for the truth.

33:50

I don't just mean in his incoherent

33:54

and heretical religious practices. I

33:56

mean just in the way that he speaks. He

33:58

is a pathological liar.

33:59

He has been for his whole career, even

34:03

more egregiously so than other politicians. He

34:06

just lies about everything. That's why he had to drop out of the 1988

34:09

presidential race. It's

34:12

not even that he's intentionally,

34:15

I think, trying to undermine the truth. I think he just doesn't

34:17

care about the truth, so he just makes up everything about hairy

34:19

legs and corn pop and his dad applauding

34:21

at gay guys kissing on the streets of Scranton and

34:24

Delaware and all over the place in 1942

34:26

or whatever.

34:29

He just makes it up. So

34:31

he doesn't have wisdom in the true sense, obviously,

34:35

and he doesn't even have wisdom in

34:37

the worldly sense. You'd think, well, okay, the

34:39

guy, he's not the most upstanding moral

34:41

guy, but

34:43

at least he knows how the world works, right? He's like

34:45

a gangster. He understands the ways of this world,

34:47

except he doesn't. If he

34:49

understood the ways of this world, don't you think he'd

34:53

be able to maintain the decent economy, not have

34:55

record high inflation and an energy

34:58

crisis and the economy just collapsing all around

35:00

him? Don't you think he would be able to work

35:02

out some kind of deal

35:04

in the Ukraine war and in

35:07

the Middle East and in China

35:09

and prevent the outbreak of World War III, which we seem to

35:11

be on the brink of?

35:12

Don't you think he'd be able to work out some deal

35:15

at the border such that we don't have

35:17

10,000-plus people a day pouring over?

35:20

He's not even wise in the way of the world.

35:22

We sometimes think of this dichotomy. Well,

35:24

are you gonna be a good, serious person who

35:27

pays respect to the moral order and to God, or

35:29

are you gonna be a guy who's street smart? What

35:32

is it? Are you gonna be classically smart,

35:34

book smart, or are you gonna be street smart? But the two actually

35:36

go together. The more you

35:39

know about the profound things,

35:42

the more you're going to understand even

35:44

the shallowness and corruption of this world.

35:48

And if you don't understand the profound things and you don't even

35:50

show an interest in it, then you're gonna be suckered in by

35:52

the deceptions of this

35:54

world. People are noticing this kind

35:56

of stuff. They're trying to turn away from it. Speaking

35:59

of older gentlemen. Richard Reifuss, marvelous

36:02

actor.

36:03

I always thought of him as a liberal Democrat.

36:06

Richard Reifuss was just asked his feeling about

36:09

the new woke casting standards

36:11

in Hollywood. He did not mince words.

36:13

Starting in 2024, films will be required to

36:17

meet new inclusion standards. To

36:21

be eligible for the Academy Awards for Best

36:23

Picture. They'll have to have

36:25

a certain percentage of actors or crew

36:28

from underrepresented racial and ethnic

36:30

groups.

36:31

What do you think of these new inclusion standards

36:33

for films? They make me vomit.

36:36

Why? Because this

36:40

is an art form. It's

36:43

also a form of commerce

36:45

and it makes money, but it's

36:48

an art. And no

36:50

one should be telling

36:52

me as an artist that

36:57

I have to give in

36:59

to the latest, most current

37:01

idea of what morality

37:04

is.

37:07

Love this answer, obviously. Always

37:10

loved Richard Reifuss' acting work. I never just knew about

37:12

his politics. I thought,

37:15

I vaguely remember he was a liberal Democrat. I

37:17

think he's said that before. And yet he's

37:19

clearly reconsidered this. And

37:23

bizarrely, Richard Reifuss,

37:26

I think, is a pretty good stand-in for the median

37:28

voter. His life

37:30

experience and career have been rather different than

37:32

ordinary Joe Blow on the street. But I think he's

37:35

a pretty good stand-in,

37:36

which is he's kind of

37:38

dispositionally or reflexively liberal.

37:42

That's how most people are in the culture. That's how

37:44

the culture educates you to be. But

37:48

he's noticed in recent years, liberalism going

37:50

a little bit crazy. And crucially, he's noticed

37:52

liberalism affecting something he

37:54

knows about. Not just some far-flung

37:56

thing where he doesn't really know what's going on in Syria

37:59

or he doesn't know about economics. economic policy, but his

38:01

business that he knows intimately, he

38:04

says, wait a second, this isn't good,

38:06

this is terrible. His business,

38:09

where it's now affecting him as an artist,

38:12

trying to do his work, he's saying, wait a second.

38:14

This liberalism that when it was abstract, it seemed okay.

38:17

Now that it's affecting me directly, or now that I can at least

38:19

see it more clearly, it's awful. There

38:22

are many, many such cases. So

38:24

you ask, how could Donald Trump possibly beat

38:27

Joe Biden, assuming we can figure out the voting

38:29

rules this time? How can Donald

38:31

Trump possibly beat Joe Biden? How can we

38:33

possibly overcome this liberal establishment? People

38:37

are noticing. Liberalism

38:40

got a little too close to home.

38:42

Transiting the kids was a big part of it,

38:45

but it extends elsewhere. It extends to casting standards

38:47

in Hollywood. People are noticing, and

38:50

they're pushing back, even people that you wouldn't necessarily

38:53

expect. So that helps me to sleep a little bit

38:55

easier at night. You know what else helps me to sleep a little bit easier?

40:07

My favorite comment on Friday is from Dominic Zelenak,

40:11

who says, vegetable oil

40:14

is a seed oil. Seed oils

40:16

are high in trans fat. It

40:19

was right in front of us the whole time, wow.

40:22

Who's right there, it was hiding in plain sight.

40:25

How, step

40:29

one,

40:29

replace all of our good butter and ghee and beef

40:32

tallow with

40:34

seed oils. Step

40:36

two, make us all eat a lot of trans

40:38

fats. Step three, we all go trans.

40:41

It was right there. You don't need Klaus Schwab

40:43

or Dr. Fauci to think that one up. It was right

40:46

there all the time. Put down

40:48

the seed oils, eat

40:50

olive oil and butter. Okay,

40:55

speaking of transing people, there

40:57

was a video, it went viral on TikTok,

41:00

and it was very sad. I know that a lot of these

41:02

videos are trans identifying people

41:04

screaming about nonsense, and then we all kind of laugh

41:06

at it, and we say, this is crazy, and we shouldn't tolerate

41:09

this anymore. But this one was kind of sad

41:11

because it showed a trans identifying

41:13

person

41:14

just crying,

41:17

just completely broken down over

41:19

what?

41:20

Over being threatened with death, over

41:22

being punched in the face, over being quote

41:24

unquote misgendered

41:26

by

41:29

witches meant

41:31

being referred to as the gender

41:34

that they actually are. Here's

41:37

the video.

41:38

This is what misgendering looks like. I

41:42

want to show you the power of giving or

41:44

withholding an aspect of someone's identity

41:46

from them. This is not

41:48

me being selfish or too sensitive.

41:51

This is not me expecting too much from those

41:54

who are closest to me. Oh

41:56

no, I can't just get over

41:58

it.

41:59

Pain of being referred to as someone I am

42:02

not is of the worst pain

42:03

I've ever felt. Not

42:06

respecting someone's pronouns is an

42:08

act of violence. I

42:10

can't tell if this is real or just performed.

42:15

This woman, so it's a woman,

42:17

I don't know. It's hard to tell these days, but let's say a woman.

42:20

This woman is going

42:23

through the facial expressions of

42:25

crying, there aren't any tears, but

42:28

it doesn't mean that this person isn't

42:31

genuinely upset. Obviously, whenever you

42:33

start recording yourself as you're

42:36

having some kind of emotional breakdown,

42:38

there's a performative aspect that comes along with

42:40

that as well, but maybe it's real.

42:42

Maybe this person is really

42:45

sobbing and breaking down because of

42:48

the misgendering.

42:52

That is very sad.

42:54

We should try to order society such that

42:56

people don't break down over this stuff anymore.

42:59

And the way to do that is

43:02

to end the

43:03

transgender madness.

43:05

If someone called me, she, I

43:08

would not cry.

43:10

I would not break down.

43:11

I would not make a TikTok video about it.

43:14

I would think it's kind of funny. If someone

43:16

walked up to me

43:17

and said, "'Hey, Rachel Maddow, hey,

43:19

where's your glasses, Rachel?' "'Heh, heh, heh.'

43:22

I would laugh, that would be a funny thing."

43:26

At most, I would just sort of brush it off

43:29

and keep going.

43:32

Why is it that transgender

43:34

people uniquely

43:35

are

43:37

fragile?
