2:00

And now I'm letting it out of the back, so I probably shouldn't do

2:02

this. Now we actually can't do it, because she'll possibly

2:05

see it. But wouldn't it be fun to

2:07

call Nikki Haley and

2:09

pretend that we're representatives, secret representatives in

2:12

Geneva, the government of Iran, and

2:15

say, look, you've been pretty tough on

2:17

the Islamic Republic of Iran, obviously. But

2:19

we have some of the biggest oil reserves in the world, and we

2:22

can touch you in on them. And,

2:24

like, what would it cost for you

2:26

to become our advocate? Like,

2:30

what is the number at which Nikki Haley would

2:32

be like, you know what, I'm not working for

2:34

Boeing anymore. I'm working for Iran. And,

2:37

like, there is a number, right? And so you could – you'd

2:40

say, all right, we'll

2:42

wire it to Switzerland, we'll hold it in account for you. And

2:45

the next time the Republican candidates get together, just get up

2:47

there and take up the cause of the mullahs. And

2:50

I don't have any doubt in my mind that she'd be

2:52

like, okay. And there'd

2:54

be Nikki Haley being like, you know, I've been a little tough on Iran, but

2:57

actually it's a pretty great place. And

3:06

I think of that every time the Hunter Biden story comes up.

3:08

Of course, I love the Hunter Biden story. We were early on

3:10

that. And it just

3:12

has everything, you know. It's

3:14

got the audio visuals. It's

3:18

got the intrigue. It's

3:21

just got a lot of flamboyant

3:23

components that I, as an inherent

3:25

drama queen, absolutely love. The

3:28

teeth picture, just like the whole thing. I love it. The

3:31

only thing I don't like about the Hunter Biden story

3:33

is that it may give some people the

3:36

impression that he's the most

3:38

corrupt person in Washington, or

3:41

his father is. And that's just not true.

3:44

And as someone who spent a long time there,

3:46

like, actually my whole adult life, I could say

3:49

– and as someone who, like, lived right down the street

3:51

from Hunter Biden and knew him well – I

3:54

can say I didn't really notice how corrupt

3:56

Hunter Biden was because he wasn't different

3:58

from, like, most people. Opinions

26:00

may differ, but

26:02

the human face is the

26:04

most beautiful thing. So to

26:06

the extent they deface that, literally deface

26:09

that, to the extent

26:11

they make our environment uglier, they're

26:14

trying to hurt us, and they are serving evil.

26:17

And we don't take it seriously. I was driving here today. I

26:20

was driving through Phoenix, which I like. I

26:22

like Phoenix, actually. And we passed a new

26:24

mall, new construction. You can't blame the 70s

26:26

for this architecture. And

26:28

it was so overpoweringly ugly. It

26:31

was so aggressively unattractive. It was

26:33

such a defense against aesthetics that

26:36

I thought, and I meant it, with my whole heart. Where's

26:39

the architect, and why is he not in prison? And

26:42

I mean that. And

26:44

if you think that's radical, if you

26:46

think that's crazy, that someone would

26:48

be allowed to deface the public

26:50

view, the landscape we all live

26:53

in, along the highway, and get

26:56

away with it, and we're like, actually,

26:58

the real criminals were January 6th. No. The

27:01

real criminals are the ones building dollar stores in your town. I'm

27:03

sorry. And

27:07

they can tell you, well, it's really important that poor

27:09

people have cheap goods from China, and

27:11

they come in lots of bright colors. Really?

27:15

That's nothing but degrading. And I also say, just

27:18

as an answer, any economic system that produces that, I'm opposed

27:20

to. I don't care what you call it. If

27:23

it increases the amount of ugliness and

27:25

human degradation, I'm against it. I'm

27:27

against it. And you can call it whatever you

27:29

want, and you can call your new

27:31

economic system whatever you want. As

27:35

long as it produces a prettier, more

27:37

pro-human world, I am for it. Period.

27:42

So why are they doing this? Because

27:45

they don't consider you human. That's

27:47

why. It's that simple. You

27:50

would never treat a fellow human being the way they

27:52

are treating you. And

27:54

the last thing I'll say, which I've been thinking about a lot, and this is kind of

27:56

inchoate, so pardon me if I don't explain it

27:58

correctly, but I do think we're going to do it. we're looking at

28:01

a very different world view from the one that we assumed

28:03

we were looking at. This

28:05

is not a Western world view. The

28:08

goal is to overthrow Western civilization. What is

28:10

Western civilization? Anyone Wikipedia that recently? It's Christian

28:12

civilization, that's what it is. And

28:15

by the way, if I can

28:17

just say, as

28:19

a nod to my fairly ecumenical beliefs, you don't

28:22

have to be a Christian to live in that

28:24

civilization, to love it, to uphold it, to benefit

28:26

from it. But we

28:28

should not lie about where the civilization comes from because

28:30

it's based on the precepts of a very specific religion

28:32

that's called Christianity. And

28:35

it's very different from the Eastern view. And that's not

28:37

an indictment of people who live in the East, many

28:39

of whom I love, the East of the globe, I

28:41

mean, at all. And

28:43

a lot of them want to live in a

28:45

Western civilization. So again, I'm not kind of attacking

28:47

anybody, just noting that

28:49

the Western worldview, the Christian worldview, upon

28:52

which Europe and the United States and

28:54

the Anglosphere, meaning Canada, above

28:57

us, and

28:59

New Zealand and Australia, were

29:02

founded on these ideas. What are

29:04

those ideas? Well, the core

29:06

idea is that the individual matters. The

29:08

individual has a soul. And

29:11

that's one of the reasons that in Western wars, even in

29:13

the First and Second World Wars, which were

29:15

atrocities, and killed more people than anywhere

29:17

ever, the amount of intentional

29:20

war crimes, actually on

29:22

most sides, certainly on the American side, pretty low for

29:24

a war. And

29:27

the way those civilizations were organized was always

29:29

around the individual. Maybe you had a king

29:31

and he was in charge, but

29:33

it didn't mean he could treat you as a subhuman. He had every

29:35

reason to do that. But above

29:37

all, it meant that we punished the individual for

29:40

the things that the individual did, and

29:42

not for things other people did. Collective

29:44

punishment is a foreign concept in

29:46

Western civilization because it's a foreign

29:49

concept of Christianity. Christianity

29:52

and the West are open to everybody.

29:54

They're non-sectarian, and it's not

29:56

passed on by your blood. It's

29:58

a choice that you make. And

30:01

that's the best thing about America. And

30:03

it's why, as much as I think

30:05

our current immigration disaster will destroy our

30:07

country, I

30:10

will never stop feeling a lot of warmth

30:12

for immigrants who, like, love America more than

30:14

a lot of Americans do. I love those

30:16

people. And I mean

30:19

it. Wherever they're from, and that's a sincere

30:21

feeling, it's amazing. In fact,

30:23

we have to have – well, whatever. You've had

30:25

a lot of people out here, and some of them weren't

30:27

born in this country, like the most articulate defenders of our

30:29

system. But the core of our system is

30:32

that it revolves around the individual because the individual

30:34

has a soul. He is not

30:36

just part of a group. He's got a faceless

30:38

head in the crowd. He's

30:40

a human being because God created him. Our

30:43

leaders don't feel that way. Our

30:45

leaders group us into large

30:48

groupings. You're black. You're white, the

30:50

dreaded white. You're Hispanic, Asian,

30:52

trans, gay, straight, whatever. These

30:55

aren't individuals, these

30:58

communities. No

31:00

woman ever gave birth to a community. These

31:05

aren't real. Yeah, she may have. Don't

31:07

bait me into a mean joke. These

31:13

are categories that, by their nature,

31:15

dehumanize us and deny the primacy

31:17

of the human soul. So

31:21

there is no history of collective punishment in

31:23

the United States. Where is there? Well, in

31:26

East, in Russia, in

31:29

China, in North Korea, where

31:32

it's to this day considered

31:34

normal to arrest the person for the thought crime

31:37

and then to arrest his children and parents because

31:39

they're all in the same family, so they're punished as a group.

31:43

That concept cannot exist

31:46

here, and if it does,

31:48

we are not America. You

31:50

are responsible for what you did.

31:53

Not for what your parents did, no matter what they look

31:56

like, no matter what class they belong to. We

31:58

don't have cool acts. here. People

32:01

have shown this from a cool act. What was a cool act? Well, I mean, it

32:03

was some of the bursais.

32:05

Bursais eat. Usually

32:08

agricultural. Farmers with more than two cows.

32:11

Okay? But the idea was they weren't just sinful

32:14

because they had more than two cows. They were

32:16

sinful because their parents did too. And

32:18

their neighbors did too. And they were punished collectively.

32:21

Nothing like that has ever happened in the West,

32:23

in no country in the West. For all the

32:25

bad things that say Belgium, which I love to

32:27

beat up on, has done. You

32:30

know, they actually were a pretty crappy colonial power.

32:33

They never put the inflicted collective

32:35

punishment because Christians don't do

32:37

that. But you are seeing

32:39

a leadership class in

32:42

this country on both sides who is starting

32:44

to think that way. And

32:47

that is a massive threat to

32:49

you. So

32:51

just remember, what

32:55

threatens you is

32:58

not a political movement, it's

33:01

a spiritual

33:04

movement. The plan

33:08

can only end in true

33:10

sadness and tears and weeping and gnashing of

33:12

teeth. There's no happy

33:14

ending to the story that

33:16

they are telling. And the

33:19

third and most important thing is that

33:21

you can only fight back. In fact, maybe you

33:23

can only survive not

33:25

by changing them because you can't,

33:28

but by changing yourself. And

33:31

by becoming more impressive, more

33:34

honest, and as a result

33:36

of that, stronger. Thank you, and I

33:38

will take your hostile questions. Thank

33:44

you. All

34:06

right, does

34:08

someone have a question? Oh,

34:12

wait, hold on, I can hear a woman with

34:15

a microphone. Oh, she's right there.

34:17

I was going to, I didn't see whether you did upper

34:20

deck or lower deck. Lower deck, baby.

34:23

Okay. So yesterday, while speaking,

34:25

Vivek Ramaswamy briefly mentioned the

34:27

issue of love large influx

34:29

of illegal immigrants coming to

34:31

America and how it is

34:33

affecting our economy and everyday

34:35

Americans and everything that we

34:37

do. And his solution

34:39

for this was to send back all

34:41

illegal aliens. So I wanted to present

34:43

to you the circumstance that I have

34:46

seen that has affected me in the

34:48

state of Texas where there are children

34:50

that come here with their families at

34:52

a very young age when they're not old enough

34:54

to make that decision to come here legally or

34:57

illegally. So while they're here,

34:59

they're subject to the jurisdiction of

35:01

the American government under public education

35:03

systems. They receive their education here

35:05

and they are influenced by our

35:07

culture here and this is the

35:09

only language and experience that they

35:11

have in society. So

35:13

with them being sent back, it would

35:15

obviously be detrimental for them. So what

35:18

is your opinion of this and how

35:20

would you handle that situation? Well

35:22

I would say just the obvious point first since

35:24

they call me Captain Obvious, that

35:27

when ever you move large groups of

35:29

people from one place to another, particularly

35:31

if they don't want to move, there's

35:33

a lot of suffering. That's true

35:35

when people come here illegally, ask anyone who's made

35:38

it to the Darien Gap, you know.

35:40

A lot of people die, most women

35:42

are raped. I mean the whole thing is a disaster.

35:44

Mass movements of people are bad, okay, in general. So

35:47

there's that. If you did that, you would

35:50

cause some suffering. No

35:53

doubt. It's gone on too long. On

35:55

the other hand, I don't really see how we have a choice because

35:57

how can you say you're a nation of laws if

35:59

people from a... other countries don't have to obey your laws.

36:02

And you really can't. And

36:05

I really don't know

36:07

what to say. I mean, if I break the law

36:09

or if you break the law, especially

36:11

now that they found out you came here, you

36:14

know, you're gonna be held to that standard ruthlessly.

36:17

I mean, I have a friend, Peter Navarro, is

36:19

about to go to prison for not

36:21

responding to a subpoena from Liz Cheney and

36:24

her fake committee. Hunter Biden does, it's

36:26

like totally cool. It's Hunter Biden that's cool. So

36:28

like, yes, if

36:31

you wanna restore the country to where it needs

36:33

to be, which is a fair country, fairness

36:35

is the goal, fairness, which

36:38

means universal principles universally

36:40

applied, then you have to

36:42

be serious about your laws and probably need like far

36:44

fewer laws. We can probably get rid of 99% of

36:46

laws. I've

36:49

got a lot of kids. I don't have a lot of laws in my house. You

36:52

know, can't smoke weed at the dinner table or whatever. You

36:55

know, like the obvious ones. I

36:57

don't need a law for that. So

36:59

anyway, the point is you degrade your country,

37:01

this justice system when you allow tens of

37:03

millions of people to break the law without

37:05

punishment, okay? The second thing I just

37:07

know from traveling a lot is that

37:10

I'm not sure how it helps any

37:12

country to have its most ambitious people

37:14

leave. And the funny thing, if I

37:16

can just say, about American liberals is

37:18

they're so convinced that their system is

37:20

superior. They're like, well, you know, of

37:22

course, anyone living here in some depressing

37:24

suburb of Houston on food stamps

37:26

has a much better life than someone in El Salvador. Well,

37:29

actually I've been in El Salvador a lot. It's pretty great. And

37:32

I'm not convinced it's the worst place to raise your kids

37:34

right now, to be honest. But

37:36

more to the point, how is that compassionate? Syria

37:39

had a civil war and like almost every single doctor

37:41

in Syria left and went to the west. Oh, a

37:43

new life for the doctors. What about people who still live

37:45

in Syria? They don't have any doctors. And

37:48

if you talk to anyone who runs one of these

37:50

so-called third world countries, some of which are pretty nice,

37:52

I gotta be honest, they're a lot better than downtown

37:54

LA, where I was

37:56

like, oh, it's so third world, really? They have

37:58

none of that in El Salvador. No. They run, they're

38:01

going on the street, they have families. It's

38:03

embarrassing to have your relatives beg. They

38:06

have no murders. Like, the Third World is

38:08

not, I mean, everyone should visit, just like

38:10

give you a little bit of perspective on, say, Baltimore. But

38:14

if you talk to people who run these countries, they're like, all

38:17

the people with the most ambition take off. Like,

38:19

that's terrible for us. We're losing

38:21

a whole generation. The brain drain is real. And

38:24

so, like, why doesn't, you know, if, I think

38:27

most immigrants now are not from Latin America, they're

38:29

mostly coming from Africa and the Middle East, some

38:31

from Asia, but I

38:33

don't know how that helps Liberia, or more

38:35

likely Nigeria, for everyone

38:38

to come here. It definitely doesn't help us

38:40

at all. And there's no justification for it

38:43

economically at all. And by the

38:45

way, this country is so big and

38:47

so spread out that most people have no idea

38:49

what's going on in it. But I

38:51

would just, I honestly, if

38:53

you have a free day, drive 500 miles in one

38:56

direction, stay in a motel and drive back. And

38:59

tell me what you see. Is that the country you remember? There's

39:01

garbage on the side of the road. There are people living in

39:03

the bathroom at the hotel? Really? It's

39:06

scary? Like, how did that

39:08

happen? And how do we know it was, why didn't we

39:10

know what's happening? So

39:13

I just think we're in an actual crisis. I

39:15

think if we deported a single person, it would

39:17

be sad for that person, probably. But

39:20

we don't have a choice yet, Nikki Haley. No,

39:23

Nikki Haley isn't real, as I told you at the outset.

39:25

She literally isn't real. You've never seen her walk by a

39:27

mirror. The whole thing's a

39:29

hologram designed by Republican donors. By the

39:31

way, I would just – the marvelous

39:34

thing about Nikki Haley is she gets so much attention

39:36

on television. She's like, here, I don't have one. But

39:38

apparently she's on television like every commercial break. When

39:40

we come back, Nikki Haley. And

39:43

like, there's not like 27 Republican

39:45

primary voters who aren't billionaires who

39:47

support her program. It's insane.

39:51

She's running on things that are completely irrelevant to

39:53

Republican primary voters. Just look at the polling. And

39:55

yet she persists. You don't want to

39:57

live in a society where every politician has to have

39:59

a personal billionaire backing his campaign. Where

40:03

every cultural movement has to have because what is

40:06

that? That's an oligarchy. And

40:09

do you want to live in one? That's

40:11

Russia, right? Russia, it's an oligarchy.

40:14

Okay. They don't have freedom of the press. Yes, sir.

40:20

Hi, I'm Jayden Rodriguez, more commonly known

40:22

as a Dadsome Flat Kid. And

40:29

I wanted to ask you a few

40:32

questions. If you'd ever

40:35

consider doing like kids programming, and

40:37

if so, would you hire me?

40:42

Absolutely, but you'd have

40:44

to be our CFO. Okay.

40:47

And also, would

40:50

you consider being vice president for

40:52

Trump? It's

40:57

funny you asked. Thank

41:08

you for asking me, Jayden. And

41:10

it's funny that you paired those two questions

41:12

together because they have the same answer. So

41:16

you asked, would I ever consider doing kids programming,

41:18

and would I consider entering politics?

41:21

And there's a phrase in Western Maine that I

41:23

just love, I don't know nothing

41:25

about that stuff. That's the phrase.

41:27

And I feel that way. I feel

41:30

like there's this weird temptation for people when they like do

41:32

something for, I mean, I've done the same job a little

41:34

bit for 32 years. So, you know, and you get good

41:36

at something if you do it enough. You know what I

41:39

mean? That's why you want to go to the knee doctor

41:41

who does it eight times a day. And

41:45

if you, you know, get to middle age and you're

41:47

like, I've been, you know, relatively successful in my own

41:49

stupid field. I'm

41:51

good at this. I think it'd also

41:53

be a great landscape painter, hip hop

41:55

artist, or movie producer. You

41:58

got to shake yourself and say, no, Actually, that's

42:00

a very recognizable syndrome that afflicts mostly men, but

42:02

also Nikki Haley, who may or may not be

42:04

real, which is

42:06

called hubris. Hubris. And

42:08

hubris means the belief that you are

42:11

God, and you're somehow good at everything.

42:14

And I don't believe in that at all. And I

42:16

check that impulse in myself on a daily basis. I'm

42:18

a talk show host. That's what I

42:21

do. And I talk about the

42:24

world and my dumb ideas and politicians

42:27

and the hijinks that they're up to,

42:29

and I fulminate and scowl and stare

42:32

blankly into the camera. And

42:35

I enjoy doing that. I think I'm pretty

42:37

good at it. How could I not be?

42:39

It's all I've ever done. But one thing

42:41

I have never done, probably not very good

42:44

at, is making children's programming. I have a

42:46

lot of children. I didn't allow them

42:48

to watch TV, so I have no idea what kids watch. And

42:52

politics, well, I've followed

42:54

it all my life, of course. With

42:56

every passing year, I become more repulsed

42:58

because it becomes ever more repulsive. And

43:01

I don't just mean the system. Just to be totally clear on

43:03

this, I don't just mean the system of politics.

43:05

I mean the actual people who participate in it

43:07

because I know them personally. And

43:10

it was some with real exceptions. I

43:12

mean, I have a couple friends in politics,

43:14

amazingly. But in general,

43:16

I think they're probably the worst people in our society,

43:18

and there's got to be a name for this. A

43:21

country of great people run by the worst

43:23

people. It also describes the U.S. military. The

43:26

best people led by the worst. And

43:29

I honestly, I don't think I

43:32

could be around that. I mean,

43:34

I think it's absolutely important, maybe

43:36

historically important, for Trump not to

43:39

be stopped by this totally immoral,

43:41

country-changing political vendetta. You cannot use

43:43

the Justice Department to knock the

43:46

front-runner out of the race on

43:48

fake charges, period. If

43:52

you allow that, you're done. Okay, so there's that.

43:54

And you also can't allow a political party

43:57

to choose a senile guy to, quote, run

43:59

your country. when

44:01

every single person knows he's not running the

44:03

country because he's senile. And

44:06

no one's allowed to say so,

44:08

because it's mean. Stop. So I

44:10

do think that's super important. It's just impossible to

44:12

imagine myself ever getting involved in something like that,

44:15

and not because I'm afraid, because I'm

44:17

not afraid at all. I

44:20

don't really care what happens to me, and I mean that.

44:22

I mean that. But

44:25

because how would I be good at that? Do you know what I

44:28

mean? I just don't think I

44:30

would, and I also, I think, I mean

44:33

I just can't imagine myself at a fundraiser

44:35

or something, and somebody's like, well, actually, Zelensky's

44:37

a lot like Churchill. And

44:40

I just couldn't sit through it. I don't care how much

44:42

money you're giving me. Zelensky is not like

44:44

Churchill, okay? Zelensky

44:48

has tried to get my country, where

44:50

my children live, in a nuclear war.

44:53

And anyone who tries to get my children in

44:55

a nuclear war is my enemy. And

44:58

so I couldn't sit through that

45:00

meal without making Ken

45:03

Griffin mad. Oh, Ken Griffin, I'm a billionaire.

45:05

Oh, shut up. You know, nothing. And

45:08

I've watched it. I interviewed a presidential candidate at

45:10

one point who like said, what do you think of

45:12

Ukraine? Oh, well, I think Ukraine is

45:14

a sad regional conflict. I don't think Russia should

45:16

have invaded, fine. But it's not in our core

45:18

national interest. Well, that's obviously true. And

45:21

Ken Griffin calls the guy up and is like, you can't say

45:23

that. And he's like, issues a statement the next day like, I

45:26

can't say that. Actually, Ukraine is really important. Zelensky

45:28

is Churchill. I'm

45:30

not naming names, but I will

45:32

say I thought that was disgusting. And I

45:34

liked the guy who did it, by the way. That's disgusting.

45:37

You should be ashamed. You're a grown man, and you're

45:39

taking orders from some moron. Some

45:41

guys know anything who may be

45:43

good at investing. It doesn't mean

45:45

you're a good person. It definitely

45:47

doesn't mean you're wise. Wealth is not a

45:49

measure of wisdom, and wisdom is all that matters if

45:52

you're running things. So I just

45:54

can't imagine. Anyway, one last question. Thank you so much.

45:56

If I change my mind, I'll hire

45:59

you. Yes, sir. It's the last

46:01

question. Got it. Hello,

46:03

I'm Jackson Robinson from Lafayette, Louisiana,

46:05

and I started Turning Point Club

46:07

at Lafayette High School. And

46:09

I have two questions for you. Hit me

46:12

with them. Would you fully support a

46:14

theocratic government structure based on the teachings

46:16

of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

46:24

You know, of course, I have no idea what that means. Oh,

46:26

my. So

46:30

I don't know. I

46:32

would say that I mean, don't

46:34

even get me going. I

46:36

left the church that I grew up in over this question. Christianity

46:40

has to stand distinct from politics

46:43

because when Christianity mingles with politics,

46:46

Christianity dies. And I've

46:48

seen it. And watching these churches,

46:50

many of which I support because, spoiler,

46:52

I'm a Christian, start

46:55

pushing the vax at the

46:57

demand of the CDC and

47:00

others and the propaganda campaigns

47:02

that individual churches, conservative evangelical

47:04

churches, inflicted on their

47:06

parishioners, telling them that Jesus would want them to

47:08

take this vax, which was not tested

47:11

longitudinally. I was so offended

47:13

that I left. And I'm not

47:15

attacking those churches. I'm sure they're nice people. I

47:17

think they're sincere believers. But the point is, when

47:19

you mingle with people who are corrupt, unless

47:22

you overwhelm them with the truth, if

47:25

you're even a little bit impressed by their

47:27

earthly power, even a little

47:29

bit impressed, you'll be corrupted. And

47:32

I've seen that happen. It happened to Russell Moore.

47:34

It was Christianity totally corrupted by politics,

47:36

completely corrupted. And his

47:38

impulses are political impulses. They're not Christian

47:41

impulses. And he's constantly thinking, well,

47:43

will I offend this or that person in power? And

47:46

if you think, even

47:48

for a second, about what your

47:51

witness, who

47:53

will be offended by it? You're

47:57

way off track. You're serving the wrong leader.

48:00

And so I just, I'm very

48:02

concerned with any intersection. And I will

48:04

say finally, just having traveled a lot,

48:07

that the death of Christianity in Europe, which is

48:09

one of the biggest things ever to happen, was

48:11

a Christian continent. And that's only

48:13

true in Eastern Europe now. In Western Europe,

48:16

it's totally atheist, or full pagan. That

48:19

happened in part because the church was an organ

48:21

of the state. And people really came to hate

48:23

the church as a result of that. And

48:26

that makes me sad, because I like the church.

48:28

I like churches. I like

48:30

religious people. I also, to be totally honest,

48:32

even though I don't share their faith, I kind of like religious people of

48:34

a lot of different faiths. And

48:37

when I saw the Hasids in Brooklyn during

48:39

COVID, and they're like, we're going to our

48:41

weddings because that's what we do. They

48:44

don't wanna fight with the government, but they're like, no, we're going

48:46

to our weddings. I know you have your little pandemic or whatever,

48:48

but we're still going to our weddings because we're Orthodox and that's

48:50

what we do. I was like, you

48:52

go, Hasids. Do you

48:54

know what I mean? Faith gives you

48:56

strength. That's not my faith. I

48:59

don't agree with that faith, but I respect them

49:01

because they do believe their faith. And that's how

49:03

I feel. So I would just be, I

49:07

think our country, last thing I'll say is,

49:09

I do think that countries like people suffer

49:12

consequences for immorality. And

49:14

if your country celebrates it, if it elevates abortion

49:16

as a positive good, a means of freedom, it's

49:18

just child sacrifice. That's exactly what

49:20

that is. And mutilating

49:23

children, discarding children, promoting

49:25

prostitution, selling people's bodies. What?

49:30

I think you suffer consequences. I think there's a lot of evidence

49:32

that you do. And again, I'm not a theologian. Don't ask me

49:34

if the end times, I have no idea. But

49:37

that is a very dangerous thing to do and we aren't

49:39

doing it. And so is theocracy

49:41

the answer? I don't know what that means, but I don't

49:44

want the government anywhere near my church and I mean it.

49:48

Thank you. Thank

50:00

you.
