[00:13:21] [Applause]
[00:13:22] [Music]
[00:13:30] what's up
[00:13:32] good evening University of Delaware it's
[00:13:36] great to be here and you guys may not
[00:13:38] realize this but I'm actually from the
[00:13:40] Philadelphia area myself so Delaware is
[00:13:42] very well known to me very well known to
[00:13:44] me
[00:13:44] [Applause]
[00:13:47] so I take it that this is where we have
[00:13:49] to blame for Joe Biden is that how that
[00:13:53] and and Jill Biden excuse me excuse me
[00:13:57] Dr Jill Biden let's get it right let's
[00:14:01] get it right now you guys may have seen
[00:14:03] the internet at all today
[00:14:06] um but Candace Owens and her friend
[00:14:08] Kanye West decided to go and break the
[00:14:12] internet today because they ended up
[00:14:14] showing up in Paris wearing a couple of
[00:14:17] shirts that the media wasn't very a big
[00:14:19] fond a big fan of but we do have a video
[00:14:23] from Candace exclusively for all of you
[00:14:27] here explaining the entire situation so
[00:14:30] without further Ado let's hear it from
[00:14:32] Candace
[00:14:34] [Applause]
[00:14:39] what's up Delaware Candace Owens here
[00:14:42] and I'm just here to say that I am so so
[00:14:44] so so sorry that I missed tonight you
[00:14:47] have no idea how badly I wanted to go
[00:14:48] and how much I wanted to jump back on
[00:14:51] the college campuses with Charlie
[00:14:53] obviously you've probably figured out by
[00:14:55] now that the reason that I missed
[00:14:56] tonight was because I am in Paris right
[00:14:58] now uh my friend Kanye invited me to
[00:15:01] partake in what I perceived to be a
[00:15:03] really really really important cultural
[00:15:05] moment and if I did not think that it
[00:15:07] was such an important inroad for us to
[00:15:10] establish as conservatives there would
[00:15:12] have been nothing stopping me from being
[00:15:14] with you guys tonight so again I want to
[00:15:16] say sorry I especially want to say sorry
[00:15:18] to all the Turning Point USA students
[00:15:20] who worked so hard to organize this and
[00:15:22] I promise promise promise I'm always
[00:15:24] good on a promise that I will make it up
[00:15:25] to you guys so whether I have to look to
[00:15:27] next semester or next fall I'm coming
[00:15:29] back to Delaware to do an event with you
[00:15:31] so thank you guys so much for your
[00:15:34] understanding and hopefully I will see
[00:15:36] you soon probably at amfest bye guys
[00:15:40] all right we are going to hold we are
[00:15:42] going to hold Candace to her word on
[00:15:43] that by the way don't worry don't worry
[00:15:45] I've got her digits I've got all of it
[00:15:46] but
[00:15:48] when I got the call yesterday and I'm
[00:15:50] doing human events and we're doing war
[00:15:52] room with Steve Bannon we're doing all
[00:15:54] this other stuff and Charlie says Jack I
[00:15:55] need to go University of Delaware I said
[00:15:57] all right I'll go
[00:15:58] but I want to bring another special
[00:16:00] guest and he said who do you want to
[00:16:01] bring who do you want to bring and I
[00:16:02] said
[00:16:03] well what what who do we have available
[00:16:06] and he said well we got this this travel
[00:16:08] arranged already
[00:16:10] from Nashville and he said who do you
[00:16:12] know in Nashville and I was like I don't
[00:16:14] know man we know some like like Jason
[00:16:16] Aldean we know some like Brittany Allen
[00:16:18] you know you know we say yeah but
[00:16:20] they're not you know you know they're a
[00:16:21] little bit out of our price range
[00:16:23] um at least my price range maybe not
[00:16:25] Charlie's and
[00:16:26] and I said well hold on a second I have
[00:16:29] an idea about who we could bring out so
[00:16:31] a man who is just as much of a medical
[00:16:34] doctor as Jill Biden ladies and
[00:16:37] gentlemen a special guest tonight
[00:16:41] from daily wire Mr Michael Knowles
[00:16:47] Michael Knowles
[00:16:50] I know right
[00:16:53] now joining us on stage Michael Knowles
[00:16:59] [Music]
[00:17:03] because we had we had the plane ticket
[00:17:05] already so we just transferred the
[00:17:06] ticket well I can pass for Candace is
[00:17:09] the other thing because that's true I
[00:17:11] was very excited to come tonight I
[00:17:13] mistaked the two of you all the time
[00:17:15] I I I think that my presence here
[00:17:18] tonight makes me officially the new face
[00:17:21] of brexit because I figure I figure if
[00:17:25] Larry Elder can be the black face of
[00:17:27] white supremacy then I you know the
[00:17:29] Italians are racially very ambiguous
[00:17:31] anyway I think that I can be the white
[00:17:33] face of brexit is that amazing
[00:17:36] congratulations on your latest the first
[00:17:39] trans-racial Speaker I believe that
[00:17:41] we've had here at a turning point event
[00:17:43] oh
[00:17:45] Charlie is immediately regretting the
[00:17:48] decision to ask me to come
[00:17:50] foreign
[00:17:51] but we're very excited to have everyone
[00:17:53] here and and I don't know I I did
[00:17:55] already reveal though that is it true
[00:17:57] and actually let me ask you so we
[00:17:59] mentioned before that this is the alma
[00:18:01] mater of the Biden family it's true it's
[00:18:04] true is it true though that Biden's uh
[00:18:07] then does President bidens his records
[00:18:09] here are still sealed is that accurate
[00:18:11] they're still what's going on with that
[00:18:13] you know we're supposed to be a q a but
[00:18:15] I'm asking you guys the cues what's that
[00:18:17] what would you say
[00:18:19] I was reliably informed it's because he
[00:18:23] got too many A's right
[00:18:24] is that it no
[00:18:27] he because he plagiarized I like that
[00:18:29] one that's that one's probably true to
[00:18:31] be honest because he probably he
[00:18:33] probably plagiarized and we're not
[00:18:35] saying that because we were just making
[00:18:38] species allegations we're saying that
[00:18:40] because it's literally what is done for
[00:18:42] his entire career he plagiarized his
[00:18:44] presidential speeches when he was
[00:18:46] running for president in the 80s he
[00:18:47] plagiarized so many speeches when he was
[00:18:49] in the Senate and now we're looking at
[00:18:51] this presidential Administration that he
[00:18:53] tries to plagiarize from the television
[00:18:55] show The West Wing but it really ends up
[00:18:57] being more like a really really bad
[00:18:58] episode of Veep
[00:19:01] it is and you know the whole topic of
[00:19:04] the the tour and the speech did get me
[00:19:07] did get me thinking about how to fight
[00:19:09] back against this insane administration
[00:19:11] because that what's the top topic is
[00:19:13] live free and I think that's where I
[00:19:15] love that topic and I love that topic in
[00:19:18] particular because nobody seems to know
[00:19:20] what it means you know everybody thinks
[00:19:23] that he's for Freedom so the left thinks
[00:19:26] that it's for Freedom you'll you'll may
[00:19:28] have noticed usually it speaks about
[00:19:30] that freedom with regard to sort of
[00:19:32] weird sex stuff you know this idea that
[00:19:35] you can be with whoever you want you
[00:19:37] should be able to have the freedom to
[00:19:39] kill your children through abortion that
[00:19:41] you ought to have the freedom to do all
[00:19:43] sorts of straight sort of social issue
[00:19:45] freedoms and then the conservatives will
[00:19:47] come out and they'll say we need the
[00:19:49] freedom to I don't know cut taxes
[00:19:51] regulation well I'm I'm looking out and
[00:19:53] the lights are actually
[00:19:56] pretty high right now but is there is
[00:19:58] there a chance that we could get the
[00:19:59] lights on in the house because I want to
[00:20:00] I want to fact check something is there
[00:20:01] a chance we could do that I don't know
[00:20:02] if this that can happen quickly or not
[00:20:04] but from what all right yeah we got them
[00:20:06] on all right now I just want to do a
[00:20:07] quick look around look everyone look to
[00:20:09] your left look to your right
[00:20:11] I don't see a single mask in this entire
[00:20:15] room that is freedom that is freedom
[00:20:26] uh there is one all the way in the back
[00:20:28] all the way at the back
[00:20:29] all the way at the back but that's okay
[00:20:32] that's your freedom well you think about
[00:20:33] it the left says that freedom is putting
[00:20:35] on ten masks and getting you know 15 000
[00:20:38] boosters which are you know the
[00:20:40] Ayatollah says that as well that putting
[00:20:42] on masks is freedom yeah yeah that's
[00:20:44] right so you know you get you get these
[00:20:47] different definitions of freedom and
[00:20:48] even job I bet Joe Biden would tell you
[00:20:50] if he came back to his alma mater I bet
[00:20:52] he would tell you I'm for freedom and
[00:20:54] and I think there are all these sorts of
[00:20:56] debates you even see it a little bit on
[00:20:58] the right and it's a it's a big
[00:21:00] misunderstanding because true freedom is
[00:21:04] not just the ability to do whatever you
[00:21:06] want whenever you want to do it if true
[00:21:09] true Freedom were the ability to do
[00:21:10] whatever you want whenever you want to
[00:21:11] do it you know who the freest person in
[00:21:13] the world would be who it would be a
[00:21:15] heroin addict oh yeah right a sort of
[00:21:17] but derelict bum shooting up heroin on
[00:21:20] the street we're only about 30 minutes
[00:21:22] away from Kensington Avenue right you
[00:21:24] guys want to go up there so my brother
[00:21:27] uh we my brother was living in uh in
[00:21:31] Fishtown in Philadelphia only about two
[00:21:34] three blocks away from Kensington and
[00:21:35] Allegheny and if you guys don't know
[00:21:37] Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia that
[00:21:39] has become I used to call it a a local
[00:21:42] eyesore but it's gotten to the point
[00:21:44] where it's it's regional National I've
[00:21:46] even seen people in other countries
[00:21:48] playing these videos so for for folks
[00:21:51] who aren't familiar with the area
[00:21:52] Kensington is and it's right under the
[00:21:55] the market Frankfurt else the elevated
[00:21:56] train there and this is that area
[00:22:00] underneath where you see these shuffling
[00:22:02] fentanyl zombies and that's what they
[00:22:04] are they're fentanyl zombies just
[00:22:06] marching around and and now you may not
[00:22:10] know this do you know have you heard the
[00:22:11] nickname of this area that it's the
[00:22:13] Kensington Beach
[00:22:15] do you know about does anyone know
[00:22:16] Kensington Beach all right the reason
[00:22:17] they call it Kensington beach in Philly
[00:22:20] is because there's so many people
[00:22:24] that have overdosed or just completely
[00:22:26] knocked out and passed out from fentanyl
[00:22:29] there that they're lying down on the
[00:22:31] pavement as if they're all sunning
[00:22:32] themselves on the beach
[00:22:34] so the joke is that it's called the
[00:22:36] Kensington you go to Instagram there's
[00:22:37] Kensington Beach lifeguard you can buy
[00:22:39] T-shirts there's Kensington you know
[00:22:41] um uh the zombies of Kensington Beach
[00:22:43] and you can find these videos and it's
[00:22:46] horrific where the laughing stock of the
[00:22:49] entire Western World and in fact there's
[00:22:51] parts of the third world that are
[00:22:54] laughing at us when they look at this
[00:22:55] they say this is the first world so when
[00:22:57] you hear Biden go up there on the world
[00:22:59] stage and start telling these other
[00:23:01] countries using these moral epithets
[00:23:03] saying we this is not the way we conduct
[00:23:05] ourselves this is the rules-based order
[00:23:07] you cannot you know conduct whatever
[00:23:08] action it is that he's talking about he
[00:23:10] goes to the ayatollahs when he goes to
[00:23:11] Putin when he goes to she Etc
[00:23:13] we'll look at how we conduct ourselves
[00:23:15] and there there was a book I read a long
[00:23:17] time ago that said something about the
[00:23:19] Splinter in your eye versus the log and
[00:23:22] another eye you know I don't I forget
[00:23:24] some famous guy wrote it and from that
[00:23:26] same book it makes a very important
[00:23:28] point about Freedom which is yeah
[00:23:30] spoiler alert spoiler no you know it
[00:23:33] makes for those who haven't read it yet
[00:23:34] it's a good ending it makes a very
[00:23:36] important point about freedom because
[00:23:37] the Christian view of freedom is that
[00:23:39] the man who sins is a slave to sin yes
[00:23:41] right and so the the the freedom that
[00:23:43] the left is peddling is freedom to shoot
[00:23:45] up heroin freedom to do Fentanyl freedom
[00:23:48] to look at porn freedom to do all sorts
[00:23:50] of things that are destructive but as as
[00:23:52] you see when you see the guys on on the
[00:23:55] the beach the druggy Beach down there
[00:23:57] Kensington Beach they're not they're
[00:23:59] obviously not free they're the biggest
[00:24:01] slaves of all because they're slaves to
[00:24:03] their bassist passions and their lowest
[00:24:05] appetites their slaves to sin and and
[00:24:08] sin is not Freedom Vice is not a freedom
[00:24:11] uh having the ability to live a good
[00:24:13] life live a healthy life that's true
[00:24:16] freedom and we as a society you know
[00:24:18] when I look at people like that and this
[00:24:20] is where I might get into it with my
[00:24:22] more uh my Lord libertarian minded
[00:24:24] friends as to say no I don't believe
[00:24:26] they have the freedom to choose that
[00:24:27] because when you have an addiction like
[00:24:28] that that's become a chemical indiction
[00:24:31] you don't have freedom at all you don't
[00:24:32] even have a brain at that point and if
[00:24:34] there's anyone in this room and I don't
[00:24:36] know if Hunter Biden's nearby but
[00:24:40] you know you know the Biden jugs are
[00:24:42] gonna be flying tonight that no but but
[00:24:44] in all seriousness in all seriousness
[00:24:45] and I would say this to anyone suffering
[00:24:48] from uh the disease of addiction that we
[00:24:52] as a society should do better by those
[00:24:55] people and we should do right by those
[00:24:56] people and it's because of corrupt
[00:24:58] politicians that have overlooked this
[00:25:01] for years and years whether it's
[00:25:02] Philadelphia whether it's California
[00:25:03] Detroit take your pick
[00:25:05] they are the ones to blame for letting
[00:25:08] those people die in the street and we
[00:25:10] owe them better we owe them better
[00:25:12] absolutely absolutely
[00:25:15] you know you talked about this sort of
[00:25:18] higher political Freedom so if we don't
[00:25:19] want the freedom the freedom quote
[00:25:21] unquote that the left is offering there
[00:25:23] is a higher Freedom Edmund Burke one of
[00:25:25] the great conservative philosophers he
[00:25:27] talked about how there is there there
[00:25:29] used to be in the good old days a
[00:25:31] generous loyalty of rank and sex a proud
[00:25:34] submission a dignified obedience that
[00:25:37] finds in in even in servitude itself the
[00:25:41] spirit of an exalted freedom and it's
[00:25:44] one of the most beautiful passages in
[00:25:46] that book and it made me think you know
[00:25:48] all in the name of Freedom what have we
[00:25:50] given ourselves this culture that is
[00:25:53] full of drugs it's full of porn it's
[00:25:54] full of disorder it's full of family
[00:25:55] breakdown the the life expectancy in
[00:25:58] this country is decreasing now year over
[00:26:00] year for several years in a row for the
[00:26:02] first time ever obviously things are not
[00:26:05] working out very well don't drive past
[00:26:07] that point by the way don't bury the
[00:26:08] lead for the first time ever in United
[00:26:12] States history save you know Wars right
[00:26:16] our life expectancy is now going down
[00:26:20] year on year every single year prior to
[00:26:22] this prior to this period it's gone up
[00:26:24] our life expectancy always gets longer
[00:26:27] this has always been one of The Shining
[00:26:29] examples of the success of the U.S
[00:26:31] system now all of a sudden it's going
[00:26:33] down and I'll tell you why it's going
[00:26:35] down it's going down because of drugs
[00:26:36] it's going down because of suicide
[00:26:39] suicides these
[00:26:41] deaths of Despair in the midwest in the
[00:26:44] cities it's going down because of the
[00:26:46] crazy homicides I'm not even going to
[00:26:49] ask you you guys to raise your hands but
[00:26:50] is there anyone in this room right now
[00:26:52] who actually thinks it's safe to walk
[00:26:54] the streets of Philadelphia at night
[00:26:56] I I hope not I really hope not
[00:27:00] it's it there you go there you wow yeah
[00:27:02] Wilmington precisely this idea that and
[00:27:05] look you know I we used to go down to
[00:27:06] Wilmington all the time I saw I saw
[00:27:09] Green Day in Wilmington at a big
[00:27:11] kahunaville right right such a
[00:27:13] millennial let's go to see Green Day but
[00:27:15] I also saw I also saw Bob Dylan there
[00:27:17] but I also saw Bob Dylan there Mr Mr
[00:27:21] um Mr Tambourine Man himself and so it
[00:27:24] it you know coming down Wilmington just
[00:27:26] to see concerts or even going up you
[00:27:28] know down South Street Philadelphia you
[00:27:30] know these were Rites of Passage when I
[00:27:32] was in high school when I was in college
[00:27:33] Temple University guy I know I know
[00:27:37] um but this time because of crime right
[00:27:40] now
[00:27:41] um I wouldn't even bring my children
[00:27:43] anywhere near that campus I've got a
[00:27:45] four-year-old and a one-year-old I
[00:27:46] wouldn't even bring them within a 20
[00:27:48] block radius of that campus right now
[00:27:51] because of what's going on 750 people
[00:27:53] shot in the city of Philadelphia since
[00:27:57] Memorial Day and now to your point
[00:27:59] aren't aren't those people just
[00:28:01] exercising their freedom their freedom
[00:28:03] to shoot other people no you know
[00:28:05] referring to that great political
[00:28:07] philosopher you just quoted Bob Dylan
[00:28:09] yes you know that great political
[00:28:10] philosopher made a great point which is
[00:28:12] he said everybody's got to serve
[00:28:14] somebody and so when we think about
[00:28:15] these battles for Freedom how to live
[00:28:17] free it's not just it isn't even at all
[00:28:21] a battle between do whatever you want or
[00:28:23] live like a slave the question is who
[00:28:26] and what are we going to serve you know
[00:28:28] because if Freedom we're just following
[00:28:30] your own desires whatever you want to do
[00:28:32] well yeah it's true you do what you want
[00:28:35] to do but the weird thing about wanting
[00:28:37] to do stuff is the more that you do
[00:28:38] stuff the more you want to do that stuff
[00:28:40] I sound like Yogi Berra but that's what
[00:28:41] the way it is you know the the vice and
[00:28:44] virtue are habits and so the more you do
[00:28:47] one of them the more you're going to get
[00:28:48] at the political level and at the
[00:28:50] personal level so Joe Biden he has this
[00:28:52] line and it's the only thing I think
[00:28:54] I've ever agreed with Joe Biden on he
[00:28:56] says that we are in a battle for the
[00:28:58] soul of our nation now meanwhile
[00:29:01] Joe Biden hires people that wear
[00:29:03] pentagrams on their chest hires men who
[00:29:06] think that they're women who want to
[00:29:07] castrate children hires other guys who
[00:29:09] do even weirder stuff than that with
[00:29:11] sort of puppies and leather and it's
[00:29:12] very very bizarre this is a family show
[00:29:14] so we're not going to get into it but he
[00:29:16] does so when Joe Biden says we're in a
[00:29:18] fight for the soul of our nation I think
[00:29:19] you know I think he's right and he never
[00:29:22] told us what side he's on so I don't
[00:29:24] think he's necessarily lying but I don't
[00:29:26] think he's on the right side and it gets
[00:29:27] to what Ronald Reagan said you know
[00:29:29] Reagan in the time for choosing speech
[00:29:31] one of the greatest conservative
[00:29:32] speeches in American history he said
[00:29:34] ultimately when you get down to it there
[00:29:37] is no left or right there is only an up
[00:29:40] or a down and and so when you're in the
[00:29:42] fight for the soul of a Nation at a
[00:29:44] certain point
[00:29:45] you got to pick a side there is no
[00:29:47] neutrality and and we need to stop
[00:29:49] pretending that we're going to come to
[00:29:51] some conciliation when in fact we're not
[00:29:54] we we need to we need to win the battle
[00:29:56] and I think we can but that requires
[00:29:58] moral Clarity and courage no I agree
[00:30:00] with you and there was a yeah please
[00:30:02] please
[00:30:06] there was um
[00:30:09] there was an interesting incident um
[00:30:11] since we're going off the great moral
[00:30:13] philosopher and musicians um lately of
[00:30:15] course one of the greatest ones uh to
[00:30:18] ever walk really in any American Stage
[00:30:20] is is the current contemporary singer
[00:30:22] and flutist lizzo
[00:30:24] um and
[00:30:26] you you may all have seen this this
[00:30:28] recent lizzo video that went entirely
[00:30:31] viral that James Madison flute first
[00:30:33] person we're told that has ever played
[00:30:36] his Crystal flute in 200 years
[00:30:38] and there were two videos by the way and
[00:30:40] I'm going to be fair about this there's
[00:30:42] one video that shows her playing I
[00:30:44] believe it's in either the National
[00:30:45] Archive or the Smithsonian she's being
[00:30:47] very respectful
[00:30:48] um she's actually fantastic very
[00:30:50] talented very very talented um clearly
[00:30:53] 10 000 hour rule in Spades right and
[00:30:56] what's interesting though is that's not
[00:30:59] the one that went viral the one that
[00:31:00] went viral was when she very to my mind
[00:31:03] uh disrespectfully was wearing the
[00:31:06] scantily clad outfit picked up the flute
[00:31:07] of one of our founding fathers and
[00:31:09] started twerking while while tuning into
[00:31:10] it and what was so interesting about
[00:31:13] that and I could sit up here and say oh
[00:31:14] how terrible and awful Etc but what was
[00:31:17] so interesting to me about that was
[00:31:20] I noticed that there were two responses
[00:31:22] to that video and I'm sure you saw this
[00:31:24] online as well and just in out in the in
[00:31:26] the discourse that
[00:31:29] it got me to thinking more that has
[00:31:31] America broken into two societies and
[00:31:35] does this really undermine the
[00:31:39] discussion that we're having about
[00:31:40] Freedom versus not freedom and this idea
[00:31:43] that if our our moral character is
[00:31:47] defined whether or not by our Embrace of
[00:31:50] our past our history our understanding
[00:31:51] of our history or by overthrowing that
[00:31:54] history and saying that you know 1619
[00:31:57] America's racist Etc America has always
[00:31:59] had a founding flaw of slavery et cetera
[00:32:02] Etc that and and therefore they
[00:32:05] interpreted that view of the lizzo video
[00:32:08] through this this post-racial lens where
[00:32:11] here is a black female singer and
[00:32:14] performer playing the you know playing
[00:32:16] the instrument one of the founding
[00:32:17] fathers of a a slave owning era I don't
[00:32:19] know if Madison slaves or not and it was
[00:32:23] so interesting to me that they were
[00:32:24] celebrating this and they were almost in
[00:32:28] tears ecstatic that the moment happened
[00:32:32] and people were sharing it people were
[00:32:33] liking this thing hundreds of thousands
[00:32:35] of shares just as much as people on the
[00:32:38] other side did not even want to use the
[00:32:39] word right because I'm not sure if
[00:32:40] that's the right label for it we're
[00:32:42] shocked and dismayed by this video and
[00:32:45] so I'll ask you that question do you
[00:32:47] think that
[00:32:49] would you agree with my my analysis here
[00:32:51] this thesis that it seems as though
[00:32:53] we've broken and it's not Geographic
[00:32:54] Society it's not north south like it was
[00:32:56] during the time of the Civil War and
[00:32:59] uh prior to the Civil War but it seems
[00:33:00] as though it's sort of an ideological
[00:33:03] social split certainly that's the case
[00:33:06] I'm certain that while lizzo was
[00:33:08] twerking and playing the the Madison
[00:33:11] flute James Madison was twerking in his
[00:33:13] grave you know I'm sure he was was not
[00:33:15] pleased by this at all and and it could
[00:33:17] have been it could have been something
[00:33:19] just fine it's a little weird that lizzo
[00:33:22] is the first person in 200 years to be
[00:33:24] offered this privilege but she was
[00:33:25] offered this honor and privilege to
[00:33:28] attack to desecrate Madison in the
[00:33:30] memory of the founding fathers I mean
[00:33:31] that's that's openly what the left was
[00:33:33] talking about that's what the New York
[00:33:34] Times a revolutionary regime always
[00:33:36] desecrates the symbols and icons of the
[00:33:39] previous defeated regime of course and
[00:33:41] so that that was obviously what's going
[00:33:43] on there and uh and so as an attack it
[00:33:47] was a really really ugly sort of thing
[00:33:50] um
[00:33:50] but to your point the the nation has
[00:33:53] split into into two not a long
[00:33:56] Geographic lines so when sometimes I'll
[00:33:57] hear excitable right Wingers call for
[00:33:59] civil war and I say well do you want to
[00:34:01] go shoot your cousins because I you know
[00:34:03] I don't I'm not really eager to do that
[00:34:05] and I've never seen a nation break up
[00:34:07] peacefully and I'm Catholic so I oppose
[00:34:09] divorce in all cases whether it's a
[00:34:10] national divorce or a private divorce
[00:34:12] and and so I just don't think I don't
[00:34:14] think that's going to work at all I
[00:34:15] don't think it would be preferable but
[00:34:17] it does create a problem this very word
[00:34:18] Freedom we don't know how to even use
[00:34:21] this word in the same way as the left
[00:34:22] does and this has drove a whole lot of
[00:34:24] words we can't use the word man in the
[00:34:26] same way that the left does anymore or
[00:34:28] woman or or any of equality or any of
[00:34:31] these things excuse me are you biology
[00:34:32] do we have any biologists in the area I
[00:34:34] want to make sure we're getting using
[00:34:35] the proper terms where's Dr Jill while
[00:34:37] we're here yeah Dr Jill where is she she
[00:34:39] still teaches you in New York so she's
[00:34:41] in Virginia
[00:34:42] so so yeah I mean this is the problem
[00:34:44] with political correctness this is the
[00:34:46] problem with wokism right is that the
[00:34:48] left changes the mean tries to change
[00:34:50] the meaning of all the words and so if
[00:34:51] you don't speak a Common Language you
[00:34:53] don't have a common country that's true
[00:34:55] however however this is all very
[00:34:58] um depressing you know and uh to use the
[00:35:00] the young Zoomer speak you know I'm
[00:35:02] pretty hip and and uh live with the Jive
[00:35:04] you know and so the way that the hip
[00:35:06] young Zoomers call it for real for real
[00:35:08] on God for real for real yeah no no no
[00:35:10] cap at all no cap at all Austin so but
[00:35:14] but what the young hip Zoomers call it
[00:35:16] is is getting black pilled you know
[00:35:18] they're really really depressed and I
[00:35:20] think black pilling is not only uh
[00:35:22] stupid I think it's also sinful I guess
[00:35:25] actually you're called to courage I I
[00:35:27] tweeted this the other day I said black
[00:35:28] pill is cope yeah total cope it's total
[00:35:31] cope right this idea that oh it's it's
[00:35:34] nihilistic at the end of the day it's
[00:35:36] it's just embracing nihilism and
[00:35:37] nihilism is this idea that you know and
[00:35:40] if you are a Believer
[00:35:41] um by the way this is the 100 Catholic
[00:35:44] panel up here so I don't know if uh if
[00:35:46] turning Point's ever done one of those
[00:35:47] samples of two yeah
[00:35:50] [Music]
[00:35:51] so that we're in the Northeast so it's
[00:35:53] cool well and don't forget Joe Biden's a
[00:35:56] devout Catholic right very devout very
[00:35:58] devout along with Nancy so devout more
[00:36:01] devout than more devout than the pope
[00:36:03] well that's another discussion
[00:36:04] um
[00:36:08] and this is the part where Noel says
[00:36:09] which one yeah
[00:36:11] I didn't want to be the one to say it
[00:36:13] but actually you know what speaking of
[00:36:15] the mackerel snapping papists there's a
[00:36:17] there is a great coincidence that we're
[00:36:18] here this week which is this week marks
[00:36:21] the 451st anniversary of one of the most
[00:36:24] important battles in western
[00:36:25] civilization that would be the Battle of
[00:36:28] leponto now what happened at the Battle
[00:36:30] of Lepanto you had the Christian Western
[00:36:33] holy league is fighting a much larger
[00:36:35] force of Ottoman Turks these guys were
[00:36:38] pretty serious fellas this whole thing
[00:36:40] sort of kicked off when uh the name I
[00:36:43] believe is Lala Cara Mustafa Pasha how's
[00:36:47] that for a name one of the Ottoman
[00:36:49] generals flayed alive the Venetian
[00:36:52] Commander then uh sewed his skin back
[00:36:55] together I'm not making this up stuffed
[00:36:57] his body full of stuffing and paraded
[00:36:59] him through the streets now as bad as
[00:37:01] things are for American conservatives
[00:37:04] I do not think even Joe Biden would do
[00:37:06] that to us I think Corn Pop might do
[00:37:08] that to us but I don't think Joe Biden
[00:37:10] would do it and so I think yes we're
[00:37:12] we're facing the threats of censorship
[00:37:14] we're facing the threats of of
[00:37:16] prosecution and imprisonment in some
[00:37:18] cases I'm thinking of the midwestern
[00:37:19] grannies who had the audacity to take
[00:37:21] selfies in the capital rotunda you know
[00:37:23] they get thrown in solitary and they
[00:37:24] throw away the book yeah we Face a lot
[00:37:27] of problems the FBI goes and raids the
[00:37:29] former president leading rival to Joe
[00:37:32] Biden right now raids his home on bogus
[00:37:34] charges these are all big problems but
[00:37:36] folks folks people have faced tougher
[00:37:40] enemies in more difficult battles than
[00:37:42] us and I think if we can summon the the
[00:37:44] moral Clarity to understand the stakes
[00:37:46] here and if we can summon the courage
[00:37:48] courage which is not just a virtue but
[00:37:50] the prerequisite for all of the other
[00:37:51] virtues if we can summer that some in
[00:37:53] that I think we're absolutely
[00:37:54] Unstoppable and I think the libs are
[00:37:56] going to be running scared amen
[00:38:02] now what's what's so key about what
[00:38:06] Michael just said there is moral clarity
[00:38:09] the life has that the left absolutely
[00:38:12] has moral Clarity right well for them
[00:38:14] right yeah for them you know well I
[00:38:16] could make comments there
[00:38:18] um that um they believe in the their
[00:38:22] truth right as they like to say of what
[00:38:24] they're doing they firmly believe that
[00:38:27] this country is flawed that our
[00:38:29] institutions are flawed they believe in
[00:38:32] this idea that every institution in this
[00:38:34] country is systemically broken and
[00:38:37] therefore must be brought down destroyed
[00:38:40] toppled in many cases like the statues
[00:38:43] themselves that is of course a symptom
[00:38:44] of this
[00:38:45] that they want to remake that country
[00:38:48] our country in their new image an image
[00:38:51] of a new America because they have the
[00:38:54] moral Clarity to do that and it is only
[00:38:57] a movement with moral Clarity that can
[00:39:00] ever achieve that critical mass of being
[00:39:02] able to it doesn't take much it doesn't
[00:39:04] take much just like the time of the
[00:39:06] Revolution it doesn't take a
[00:39:08] um a firm majority it just takes a
[00:39:12] strong minority to be able to shift
[00:39:14] everything
[00:39:15] well I do you know I did actually go
[00:39:17] back and look up something so we saw
[00:39:19] this ubiquitously in 2020 with the BLM
[00:39:23] antifa riots I was in Chas in Seattle I
[00:39:27] was in DC I was in Philadelphia I was in
[00:39:29] more riots and I can even imagine at
[00:39:32] this point do you need a passport to go
[00:39:33] into Chaz is that you know it's a
[00:39:36] sovereign
[00:39:42] Authority would you be documented
[00:39:46] they're they're actually believe it or
[00:39:48] not there's a lawsuit going on from the
[00:39:50] people of Seattle this is happening
[00:39:52] right now
[00:39:53] um against the former God bless former
[00:39:56] mayor of Seattle who was basically run
[00:39:58] out in disgrace Jenny Durkin do you
[00:40:00] remember her she's the one who said it
[00:40:01] would it's going to be a Summer of Love
[00:40:02] while we're out there
[00:40:04] um the minute I got to Shaz the one of
[00:40:07] the first things that I saw was a
[00:40:08] homeless guy just completely drugged out
[00:40:10] of his mind swinging about a 12-inch
[00:40:12] buoy knife just slashing it about
[00:40:15] throughout the air like he's Don Quixote
[00:40:16] fighting dragons and we eventually got
[00:40:20] to the point where we we picked up this
[00:40:24] this stick and we told him that it was a
[00:40:25] bigger knife and so he took the stick
[00:40:28] and he put the knife down and then we
[00:40:30] took that knife and got rid of it
[00:40:31] um I have it on video actually and this
[00:40:35] and a few people were sitting and they
[00:40:37] were having their you know healing
[00:40:38] Circle and going around the sharing tent
[00:40:40] and didn't even realize that this guy
[00:40:41] was almost lopping off parts of their
[00:40:43] you know Cranium
[00:40:44] um which they may have already had prior
[00:40:45] to me being there and I'm not sure a
[00:40:47] little bit little loss I think at that
[00:40:49] point but we realized very quickly how
[00:40:52] bad it would get so anyway this mayor
[00:40:54] she's being sued
[00:40:55] we just found out she deleted manually
[00:40:58] 200 text messages during the time of
[00:41:01] Chas from the moment that she said it
[00:41:03] would be the summer of love to the
[00:41:05] moment when the shooting started and
[00:41:07] people were being shot up in there
[00:41:09] because the Border Defenders thought it
[00:41:13] was the KKK but it turned out it was a
[00:41:15] couple of black teenagers that were out
[00:41:17] joyriding shot up their SUV killed one
[00:41:19] injured the other she deleted the text
[00:41:21] messages she's going down
[00:41:23] she's going down hard but
[00:41:25] it shows you the point I wanted to make
[00:41:28] though actually wasn't wasn't about Chaz
[00:41:29] it was um
[00:41:30] uh
[00:41:32] uh it was about Christopher Columbus
[00:41:33] because do you did you know that of all
[00:41:37] the statues targeted
[00:41:38] in this entire country there were only
[00:41:41] two that stayed up during that summer of
[00:41:44] 2020. one was the statue of Abraham
[00:41:46] Lincoln in Washington DC when I was
[00:41:49] there and antifa came after us and they
[00:41:52] tried to tear that down a statue by the
[00:41:53] way that was dedicated literally by
[00:41:55] Frederick Douglass himself who was out
[00:41:57] there this was the original Lincoln
[00:41:58] Memorial before the new one new you know
[00:42:01] comparatively and the other one was the
[00:42:04] Statue of Christopher Columbus that's
[00:42:06] standing right in South Philadelphia
[00:42:08] they were not able to get it down and
[00:42:10] why is that
[00:42:12] because the Italian boys of South
[00:42:15] Philadelphia had something to say about
[00:42:16] that
[00:42:18] and they said no you're not taking down
[00:42:19] our statue Jim Kenny
[00:42:21] and that statue I'm proud to say is
[00:42:24] still up today
[00:42:31] my brother was down we ended a little
[00:42:33] polish support to that as well so my
[00:42:34] brother went that's good you want a
[00:42:36] little bit of of Western Unity you know
[00:42:38] it Catholic unity and Catholic Unity the
[00:42:42] the uh it kind of brings up this
[00:42:44] question you you know you gallivanting
[00:42:46] about in The Sovereign principality of
[00:42:48] Chas and all the rest of it I was
[00:42:50] undocumented in chess you were you were
[00:42:52] a border Crosser the
[00:42:55] the question sometimes comes up and
[00:42:57] unfortunately I think people have lost
[00:42:58] sense of this in recent years would you
[00:43:01] rather be a poor man in a rich country
[00:43:03] or a rich man in a poor country and as
[00:43:05] we've all become so self-absorbed
[00:43:07] certainly on the left but I think
[00:43:08] largely on the right too in this country
[00:43:10] a lot of people have the mentality of
[00:43:12] look who cares what happens to my
[00:43:13] country I just want to be rich and if I
[00:43:15] really ruin the lives of my fellow
[00:43:18] citizens it's no big deal because at
[00:43:20] least I'll I'll have money in a big
[00:43:21] house but but the thing is if you're
[00:43:23] rational at all you would always prefer
[00:43:25] to be a poor man in a rich country and
[00:43:28] really in a flourishing country in a
[00:43:30] good country in a stable country you
[00:43:32] know the richest man in Afghanistan had
[00:43:34] better watch out he's probably not going
[00:43:36] to remain Rich very long and if you're
[00:43:39] in a country that's so full of disorder
[00:43:40] where you can't raise a family where you
[00:43:42] can't go out for a walk where you can't
[00:43:44] have your valuables where you can't go
[00:43:46] to church where you can't exercise your
[00:43:48] rights that's no country to live in at
[00:43:50] all our our personal wealth our personal
[00:43:53] individual freedom is tied up in a in a
[00:43:56] communal freedom in a kind of national
[00:43:59] freedom in a good flourishing country
[00:44:01] and so if we want to live free we need
[00:44:03] to have a good country and we need to
[00:44:04] stop the people who are trying to ruin
[00:44:06] our country and poison it and give us
[00:44:08] all a crappy way of life we know what
[00:44:10] the good life looks like we've we've
[00:44:12] lived it probably many of us and we've
[00:44:13] at least seen pictures of it so we we
[00:44:15] have some sense of it and it is
[00:44:17] absolutely our right it is our political
[00:44:19] freedom to demand that from our fellow
[00:44:22] citizens and to fight for it tooth and
[00:44:24] nail
[00:44:25] amen
[00:44:31] and I I do also believe very deeply that
[00:44:34] when it comes to Freedom we should also
[00:44:37] have the freedom to question right the
[00:44:39] freedom to question your professors as
[00:44:41] I'm sure many of you do especially when
[00:44:43] you get your grades
[00:44:44] um I don't know I did no I'm just
[00:44:46] kidding I was treated
[00:44:47] um but this idea that if we're being
[00:44:50] presented with some Orthodoxy whether
[00:44:52] it's the Orthodoxy of the state whether
[00:44:54] it's the Orthodoxy of the media why
[00:44:56] shouldn't you be able to question that
[00:44:57] and we've got videos now from the world
[00:44:59] economic Forum another group of people
[00:45:01] that tried to have me arrested
[00:45:03] um videos from The Who saying very very
[00:45:06] proudly that they worked hand in glove
[00:45:08] with Google to say well we didn't like
[00:45:12] the and this was the latest video that
[00:45:14] came out we didn't like the search
[00:45:15] results that were coming up when you
[00:45:17] Googled climate change and so we went to
[00:45:19] Google and this is very nonchalant as
[00:45:21] they talk about ruling our world and
[00:45:23] controlling our minds that we went to
[00:45:25] Google and we had a conversation with
[00:45:27] them and now that whenever now whenever
[00:45:28] you Google climate change our websites
[00:45:30] come up and none of these other websites
[00:45:32] that might call into question some of
[00:45:34] those interesting you know or pesky
[00:45:36] problems like the hockey stick graph or
[00:45:38] this idea that you know is nuclear
[00:45:40] energy actually considered green energy
[00:45:42] by the way it ought to be it's the
[00:45:43] greenest energy there is right but of
[00:45:45] course they don't want that you know
[00:45:46] they don't want nuclear energy they want
[00:45:48] nuclear war it seems like lately
[00:45:50] um but what's incredible to me though is
[00:45:53] that we live in such an era of
[00:45:55] censorship such an era of political
[00:45:58] repression such an era of intolerance
[00:46:02] all done in the name of Tolerance and
[00:46:04] this and if you read derida if you read
[00:46:06] marcusa this is exactly what they talk
[00:46:09] about that you must be in order to be
[00:46:11] revolutionary you must have practice
[00:46:13] what they call uh intolerant tolerance
[00:46:16] the tolerance of intolerance and it's a
[00:46:18] repressive tolerance
[00:46:19] so
[00:46:21] your ideas that may simply just be
[00:46:24] asking a question not even necessarily
[00:46:26] refuting what they're saying just simply
[00:46:27] questioning the reasoning questioning
[00:46:29] their minds whether it be climate change
[00:46:31] or if even if you acquiesce and say okay
[00:46:33] well I'll read through on climate change
[00:46:34] but you know is it anthro anthrocentric
[00:46:37] is it something that humans are creating
[00:46:39] is it something that you know me really
[00:46:41] you know me destroying all of my the
[00:46:44] ability to power my own country is that
[00:46:46] going to save the world is it going to
[00:46:47] stop how many degrees Fahrenheit of the
[00:46:50] climate going up you're not Alaska any
[00:46:51] of those questions and also of course
[00:46:53] their schemes always seem to fall back
[00:46:57] on paying the government more money and
[00:47:00] giving the government more power in
[00:47:02] order to solve whatever problem it is
[00:47:03] whether it's covid whether it's climate
[00:47:05] change whether it's monkey pox whether
[00:47:07] it's any of these things out there it's
[00:47:09] always giving the government more power
[00:47:11] which is the answer to them and I
[00:47:12] disagree I think we should give our
[00:47:14] communities more power I think we should
[00:47:16] give our families more power and our
[00:47:18] parents I know I'm at a college saying
[00:47:21] that
[00:47:22] I know I'm at a college saying that
[00:47:25] but I'll say this as and we're both
[00:47:27] Young Fathers up here
[00:47:29] um
[00:47:30] and there isn't anybody from any
[00:47:32] position of government that has a right
[00:47:34] to tell me how to raise my children
[00:47:41] and you mentioned
[00:47:42] When you mention the government and
[00:47:44] especially in light of the prospective
[00:47:46] nuclear war that we're all facing that
[00:47:48] you alluded to there was a really
[00:47:50] jarring quotation that came out this
[00:47:52] week I was reading a piece on the war in
[00:47:54] Ukraine the Great Piece by Christopher
[00:47:56] Caldwell at Claremont and he pointed out
[00:47:58] that Ian Bremer the foreign policy
[00:48:00] writer a very popular writer he he said
[00:48:03] that in this war it's so strange because
[00:48:06] certain corporations have become literal
[00:48:09] belligerents in the war he was referring
[00:48:11] to Elon Musk who offered the starlink
[00:48:13] satellite system as it was widely
[00:48:16] considered an act of Charity he was
[00:48:17] referring to other companies though
[00:48:19] Google I mean you think of the power
[00:48:21] that a company like Google or Amazon or
[00:48:24] any other Corporation can have well
[00:48:27] obviously they have the power to censor
[00:48:29] they censored the duly elected sitting
[00:48:30] president of the United States on
[00:48:32] January 7 2021. no one as far as I know
[00:48:35] in in among the American people said
[00:48:37] Google we want you to have this power
[00:48:38] they just sort of took it and in a
[00:48:40] self-government where we're supposed to
[00:48:43] persuade one another to create our laws
[00:48:45] that means that they're controlling the
[00:48:47] entire political order but then if a if
[00:48:49] a corporation can become a belligerent
[00:48:51] during a war well then the corporation
[00:48:52] can be a Target during the war the
[00:48:54] corporation is carrying on uh foreign
[00:48:57] policy the the all of a sudden we look
[00:48:59] up and there was a 10 years ago we used
[00:49:01] to say oh well if you don't like Google
[00:49:03] build your own Google you know that's
[00:49:05] the free market at work I'm not sure how
[00:49:06] free that market is by the way but
[00:49:08] regardless if if my rights are being
[00:49:11] taken away by the U.S federal government
[00:49:13] that bugs me if my rights are being
[00:49:14] taken away by Google and I don't know
[00:49:17] Facebook and all these corporations that
[00:49:21] are frankly less accountable to me even
[00:49:23] than the government is and that's
[00:49:24] damning with faint praise well I don't
[00:49:26] like that I either and and I I refuse to
[00:49:30] sit idly by in the name of some
[00:49:32] quote-unquote principled conservatism
[00:49:34] which I think is neither conservative
[00:49:35] nor particularly principled and allow
[00:49:38] these corporations to take away our
[00:49:40] freedom you know the government is not
[00:49:42] the only threat to our freedom I can't
[00:49:45] see too well with the lights is that
[00:49:46] might be Teddy Roosevelt over there that
[00:49:48] I'm seeing you know I'm a bull moose is
[00:49:50] what I am Garnet moose right little
[00:49:52] Teddy Roosevelt if you go by the way to
[00:49:55] um if you go to Milwaukee you can
[00:49:57] actually go to the there's a hotel
[00:49:59] that's been built on the site of the
[00:50:01] spot where Roosevelt was actually shot
[00:50:05] with a derringer I believe it was a 38
[00:50:07] uh while he was giving a speech and and
[00:50:10] had it hit him in the copy of his speech
[00:50:13] that he had in his breast pocket he
[00:50:15] continued he decided to continue doing
[00:50:17] the speech because he had been so much
[00:50:20] of a hunter in his life he realized that
[00:50:23] because he wasn't coughing up blood that
[00:50:26] meant the bullet had him I kid you not
[00:50:28] he realized that the bullet had not gone
[00:50:29] into his lung and therefore he would
[00:50:31] probably survive because it was just a
[00:50:33] flesh wound
[00:50:34] that's a real president ladies and
[00:50:36] gentlemen
[00:50:38] and he was right by the way
[00:50:40] two percent right though it is uh worth
[00:50:43] reiterating here
[00:50:45] um we should not test this Theory
[00:50:46] tonight I have no doubt he was right but
[00:50:48] I don't want to I want to prove it true
[00:50:50] I only have copies of your speech so
[00:50:52] it's much longer it's much thicker than
[00:50:53] mine right now so so but there was this
[00:50:55] idea as well that in in the Roosevelt
[00:50:57] era and you saw this in the conservative
[00:51:00] movement for many years where they would
[00:51:02] try to write off Teddy Roosevelt as a
[00:51:04] progressive and lump him in with Woodrow
[00:51:06] Wilson and lump him in with these ideas
[00:51:08] of if okay as an example if you want to
[00:51:11] understand how you get a Dr fauci you
[00:51:13] have to go back to Woodrow Wilson
[00:51:14] because uh if you understand Wilson's
[00:51:18] idea of government which he got from the
[00:51:21] Frankfurt School which he got from
[00:51:22] Germany it was this idea that government
[00:51:24] should be based along the ideals of what
[00:51:28] of Darwinism essentially of natural
[00:51:30] selection that the government should be
[00:51:32] not this separation of powers this
[00:51:34] biblical framework from Isaiah no no no
[00:51:36] no no right the king the lawmaker and
[00:51:39] the judge which should be split three no
[00:51:41] no no the government should be an
[00:51:43] amorphous entity that is constantly
[00:51:46] evolving so the growth of the theory of
[00:51:49] evolution and the growth of this new
[00:51:51] form of government actually coincide and
[00:51:53] for in Wilson's mind the idea was that
[00:51:56] it was they should this should be in
[00:51:58] parallel because
[00:52:00] the sense of it was that you know
[00:52:02] Congress and the founders and the
[00:52:04] elected representatives they didn't
[00:52:06] understand Evolution they didn't
[00:52:08] understand Darwin the founding fathers
[00:52:09] didn't have Darwin so how could they
[00:52:11] understand the right processes of the
[00:52:14] world and so experts must then evolve to
[00:52:18] evolve along with Material Science in
[00:52:20] the material world and they should be
[00:52:22] erected what they did through this was
[00:52:25] the growth of the administrative State
[00:52:27] the growth of the bureaucracy the growth
[00:52:31] of rule by expert rule by the Eggheads
[00:52:34] in many senses and what it did actually
[00:52:37] was it took our constitutional system
[00:52:38] and if any of you are in government or
[00:52:40] in policy I don't mean to get too policy
[00:52:42] on you here but and I am a temple grads
[00:52:44] I'm not too good at it that
[00:52:47] our sovereignty started leaking out our
[00:52:49] sovereignty started leaking out of the
[00:52:51] Constitutional system and that opening
[00:52:54] is where lobbyists where the academy
[00:52:58] were bureaucrats where so many others
[00:53:00] were able to come back in because they
[00:53:01] realized that if the politicians started
[00:53:04] just following whatever their edicts
[00:53:06] were and went along with it and the
[00:53:08] court started following along with it
[00:53:09] because of the court system and the
[00:53:11] Judiciary in general is already sort of
[00:53:13] tied into the legal profession as it is
[00:53:15] they're always sort of hand in hand that
[00:53:18] fast forward 100 years that's how you
[00:53:20] can get an unelected bureaucrat this
[00:53:25] five foot three doctor
[00:53:26] who can say well okay every every child
[00:53:30] in this classroom I'm not going to do
[00:53:31] the voice but every child in a classroom
[00:53:33] should wear a mask every child in the
[00:53:35] classroom should wear a mask there it is
[00:53:39] obviously ask the Italian so
[00:53:43] but but the school boards voted against
[00:53:45] it and the school board is the closest
[00:53:46] to the but Dr fauci the the school board
[00:53:49] has has voted against it so we you know
[00:53:51] we're close as we control the school so
[00:53:53] you you know you can't override us can
[00:53:55] you
[00:53:55] he can he can do whatever whatever what
[00:53:58] about the governor what if the governor
[00:53:59] of Tennessee himself says that he agrees
[00:54:02] with the school board files it in court
[00:54:04] the Court's surely going to side with
[00:54:06] the Julian I don't care about no
[00:54:07] stinking Governor why do I need to
[00:54:09] answer to some Governor I'm Dr fauci I
[00:54:11] do what I want no but doctors I don't
[00:54:14] understand I mean I mean so you're just
[00:54:16] doing this out of out of love of country
[00:54:18] I'm doing it because it is my Birthright
[00:54:21] to tell all of you little sheep exactly
[00:54:23] what you should do you should wear the
[00:54:26] mask don't wear the mask wear it again
[00:54:27] do whatever I say well I am the great
[00:54:30] duct of action well of course you're
[00:54:32] just doing this out of out of the the
[00:54:34] goodness of your heart I mean it's not
[00:54:35] like you stand to gain any kind of I
[00:54:38] don't know financial problems what a lot
[00:54:39] of money yeah never mind don't we don't
[00:54:41] need to talk about that don't don't poke
[00:54:43] around my books senator of course you'll
[00:54:45] just release your your your financial
[00:54:47] documents when they by the way
[00:54:49] when senator Paul Senator Rand Paul is
[00:54:52] in the majority I interviewed him last
[00:54:54] week
[00:54:55] he said that he's going to appoint a
[00:54:58] special counsel specifically for Dr
[00:55:01] fauci
[00:55:04] we're not letting that one go we're not
[00:55:06] letting that one go
[00:55:08] but I want you to understand that I want
[00:55:10] you to understand that if you have to go
[00:55:12] all the way back to Wilson and this idea
[00:55:13] of in in ever evolving permanent State
[00:55:18] and this is where you get the idea that
[00:55:20] your
[00:55:21] your rights are countermanded the entire
[00:55:24] electoral system the system that was
[00:55:26] written and laid down for us by the
[00:55:27] founders at Independence Hall again
[00:55:29] right over here in Pennsylvania
[00:55:32] same area same building actually where
[00:55:34] the Declaration was signed Fifth and
[00:55:35] Market is where uh Jefferson wrote it
[00:55:38] that
[00:55:40] you don't have that anymore you have the
[00:55:41] role of these little unelected freaks
[00:55:45] um who just make decisions on a whim and
[00:55:48] one day he says he's four massed and one
[00:55:49] day he says he's not and one day he says
[00:55:51] natural immunity is amazing and one day
[00:55:53] he says no of course you don't need
[00:55:54] natural immunity by the way I'm I'm
[00:55:57] unvaccinated my family's unvaccinated we
[00:55:59] have natural immunity we're sticking
[00:56:01] with that
[00:56:05] are you really going to admit that
[00:56:06] they're going to come after you they're
[00:56:08] going to kick down your door they're
[00:56:09] gonna they're gonna go after you know
[00:56:11] points are very very well taken Jack on
[00:56:13] how people gave away their rights and
[00:56:15] freedoms and now it's just a bunch of
[00:56:16] vouchers 100 years it's been a hundred
[00:56:19] years that it took them to go from that
[00:56:21] point to where we are now now in the
[00:56:23] spirit of restoring power to the people
[00:56:25] giving people a say not just in their
[00:56:27] government but in this very event
[00:56:29] tonight should we take some questions
[00:56:30] from the audience this audience I don't
[00:56:32] know I don't know
[00:56:33] I don't know if they have any good ones
[00:56:35] I'll take good questions wait actually
[00:56:38] no let's take the bad questions first
[00:56:39] you know this is a rule that my
[00:56:42] colleagues have had for so long they say
[00:56:44] if you disagree with us come to the
[00:56:46] front of the line I think if you
[00:56:48] disagree with me you should go to
[00:56:49] Guantanamo Bay but my more openness
[00:56:51] colleagues they insist that you go to
[00:56:53] the front of the line
[00:56:56] I'm actually serious about that if we
[00:56:57] have any socialists in the room or you
[00:57:00] know full-on uh if you're from the uh
[00:57:02] was it the gender clinic at the
[00:57:04] Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
[00:57:05] please please come on down we just broke
[00:57:08] the news a few hours ago by the way that
[00:57:10] they're that the Children's Hospital of
[00:57:12] Philadelphia working of course with the
[00:57:14] great Dr Rachel Levine don't we all love
[00:57:16] her don't we love her so much our our
[00:57:18] greatest military officer
[00:57:20] um that not only not only are they are
[00:57:23] they pushing gender transitions for
[00:57:25] children they will number one
[00:57:28] if you're in the Foster system because
[00:57:30] of course you know kids in the Foster
[00:57:32] system I mean they don't have any issues
[00:57:33] to deal with
[00:57:35] um that they directly Target children in
[00:57:37] the Foster system and will put them in
[00:57:39] for these treatments without any need
[00:57:42] for parental consent because there's no
[00:57:44] parent in the picture or the legal
[00:57:45] Guardians number two we lately found out
[00:57:49] that the Children's Hospital
[00:57:50] Philadelphia gender Clinic I've just
[00:57:52] been I was just speaking in Philadelphia
[00:57:53] this weekend that's why I'm hot on it
[00:57:55] that they're now recruiting their
[00:57:58] research subjects and there's any
[00:58:00] suspects but it's almost similar foreign
[00:58:04] children at homeless Covenant House
[00:58:07] right in North Philadelphia they're
[00:58:09] recruiting children for gender studies
[00:58:11] up there that's what's going on and if
[00:58:14] growing up in the Philadelphia area if
[00:58:17] you've heard the name chop right that
[00:58:19] was sacrosanct that was beloved that was
[00:58:23] just you you if you had a problem God
[00:58:25] forbid with your child you would take
[00:58:27] him to children's hospital you knew
[00:58:28] everything was going to be fine now if
[00:58:30] you have a problem with Timmy you send
[00:58:32] them to Children's Hospital maybe he
[00:58:33] comes back as Jenny maybe they don't let
[00:58:34] him come back at all right this is the
[00:58:37] insanity this is the absolute Insanity
[00:58:39] that's going on
[00:58:41] in his dark Alliance and I call it a
[00:58:43] dark alliance between crooked
[00:58:45] politicians Dr Rachel Levine and the
[00:58:47] Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and
[00:58:48] many other children's hospitals for
[00:58:50] example your colleague Mr Matt Walsh the
[00:58:53] great Matt Wallace
[00:58:57] just exposed Vanderbilt and they called
[00:59:00] it a cash cow yeah over the cash cow and
[00:59:03] you think about look when something
[00:59:05] crazy happens in Boston I say okay
[00:59:07] that's Boston something crazy happens in
[00:59:09] Philly I say okay that's Philly
[00:59:10] something crazy happens in Tennessee
[00:59:12] Tennessee that's supposed to be the red
[00:59:14] part of the country and and so it's it's
[00:59:15] everywhere and they're pushing it
[00:59:17] everywhere and and all it takes look the
[00:59:19] people are on our side on this issue the
[00:59:21] vast majority of Americans don't want to
[00:59:23] trans the kids very powerful people in
[00:59:25] very specific
[00:59:26] offices are pushing this kind of thing
[00:59:29] the people I think can push back
[00:59:32] speaking of the people
[00:59:37] um I was just wondering so you guys are
[00:59:38] both I guess pretty big Catholic you
[00:59:40] know Republicans speakers in the in the
[00:59:42] area and I was wondering besides from
[00:59:44] you know your big Catholic background
[00:59:46] Roots were there any other influence
[00:59:47] you've had whether it be organizations
[00:59:48] or people that helped shaped your
[00:59:49] opinions or even now that different
[00:59:52] organizations that help shape your
[00:59:53] opinions
[00:59:54] religious opinions are political
[00:59:55] political opinions like such as oh
[00:59:58] certainly yeah certainly I mean I I
[01:00:01] one thing I will say about going to a
[01:00:04] left-wing school or being in a left-wing
[01:00:06] state
[01:00:07] I think it can be very helpful I am from
[01:00:09] New York I went to one of the most
[01:00:12] left-wing schools in the United States I
[01:00:13] lived in Los Angeles I've been around
[01:00:15] Libs statistically my entire life you
[01:00:17] know just in a dominant liberal culture
[01:00:19] and it did help me to form my views of
[01:00:22] things
[01:00:22] because you're confronted constantly
[01:00:25] with all of the the liberal opinions
[01:00:27] right there's there's no liberal opinion
[01:00:28] I have not heard uh the the libs have
[01:00:31] not heard very many of the conservative
[01:00:33] opinions unless they have The Misfortune
[01:00:34] of Being stuck in an elevator with me in
[01:00:36] which case they they might have but it
[01:00:38] gives you this opportunity where you say
[01:00:39] look if I'm going to disagree with one
[01:00:41] of these liberals I really need to have
[01:00:43] an answer because they're going to come
[01:00:45] at me with bullets and rhetorical
[01:00:46] bullets at least maybe physical ones too
[01:00:48] and so that that caused me to do some of
[01:00:51] my own reading some sort of of those
[01:00:53] small groups of conservatives at school
[01:00:55] really helped me Edmund Burke really
[01:00:57] helped me Lewis Chesterton who also
[01:01:00] there was overlap there with religion uh
[01:01:03] Michael oakshot I felt was an important
[01:01:05] uh philosophical influence Good Old
[01:01:07] Uncle Aristotle and Uncle Plato I think
[01:01:09] are very important uh you know
[01:01:11] Ben Shapiro made this point to me once
[01:01:14] which is I said Ben I've only read one
[01:01:16] or two books on Christopher Columbus and
[01:01:18] people are calling me up to be an expert
[01:01:19] on TV about Christopher Columbus and he
[01:01:21] said well Michael the reason for the
[01:01:22] that is if you read one book on anything
[01:01:25] you know more about it than 99 percent
[01:01:27] of people and so you're not going to
[01:01:29] learn these things it's true it's true
[01:01:31] you're not going to learn these things
[01:01:33] very likely in the classroom but if you
[01:01:35] go out and you say well I heard about
[01:01:36] this I'd like an answer to this and you
[01:01:38] read a book or two on it you you and
[01:01:40] then you talk to people you know and you
[01:01:41] find sort of affinity groups on that you
[01:01:43] will be able to educate yourself very
[01:01:45] very quickly much better than your
[01:01:46] liberal colleagues
[01:01:50] [Applause]
[01:01:56] hello Michael how are you hello I'm
[01:01:58] doing well I'm doing better now that I'm
[01:01:59] talking to you is that is that Mike on I
[01:02:02] don't know
[01:02:03] uh my name is Clinton and I have
[01:02:08] kind of philosophical question uh so
[01:02:11] obviously the right
[01:02:12] pro-choice I'm oh my God pro-life and as
[01:02:16] well as
[01:02:17] um
[01:02:18] more in favor of small government than
[01:02:22] the larger government okay so in that
[01:02:25] respect
[01:02:26] as far as your position on the right
[01:02:28] being a Catholic and everything
[01:02:30] if it came down to abortion
[01:02:37] another way okay if the right were to
[01:02:40] take more power in in you know Congress
[01:02:43] and everything
[01:02:44] and it came to a point where
[01:02:48] it was the reverse where we could now
[01:02:51] make it pro-life like across the United
[01:02:54] States or we could keep it
[01:02:56] at the uh smaller governmental level
[01:03:01] where
[01:03:03] what would what do you think should be
[01:03:05] done I am not for small government I'm
[01:03:07] for limited government but I'm not for
[01:03:09] small government there is no small
[01:03:11] government in a country of 330 million
[01:03:13] people with a global Empire so I think
[01:03:15] that government ought to be within its
[01:03:17] proper limits and I think protecting
[01:03:19] life is if that is not the within the
[01:03:22] proper limits of government then there
[01:03:23] are no proper limits of government and
[01:03:25] so I am absolutely for I think there's a
[01:03:28] strong argument that the 14th Amendment
[01:03:31] as it is written and ratified Outlaws
[01:03:33] abortion I think Robbie George and John
[01:03:35] finis made that point very well in an
[01:03:37] amicus brief on the Dobbs decision uh if
[01:03:40] there were a a law at the national level
[01:03:42] to Outlaw abortion even if it in some
[01:03:44] sense grew the government I would be
[01:03:46] totally fine for with that in principle
[01:03:48] now as a Prudential or practical matter
[01:03:50] that might not be able to work and so
[01:03:52] you you try to protect life where you
[01:03:54] can but in principle I see absolutely no
[01:03:56] problem with it
[01:03:57] uh one last thing
[01:04:00] um so I'm constantly thrust into these
[01:04:03] situations where I'm trying to
[01:04:07] debate if you will uh people on the left
[01:04:09] not in an aggressive fashion just to
[01:04:12] kind of you know hey this is my fault
[01:04:14] what you know blah blah blah blah
[01:04:16] and I find that if I don't say exactly
[01:04:19] what they say what they want me to say
[01:04:21] or like what's your view on this and I'm
[01:04:23] like well I kind of think this but also
[01:04:25] then all of a sudden I'm a bigot I'm
[01:04:26] this I'm that and then there's like an
[01:04:29] army of them
[01:04:31] how do I
[01:04:33] de-escalate
[01:04:35] how do I continue you know I just walk
[01:04:38] away do I I happen to be on stage with a
[01:04:41] guy who managed to have a hot
[01:04:44] confrontation with one of the top Libs
[01:04:46] in the country and did de-escalate it so
[01:04:49] I uh I gotta I had a little
[01:04:51] confrontation with Jon Stewart a couple
[01:04:54] a couple weeks ago and at this point now
[01:04:55] and this guy was just coming at me so
[01:04:59] hard how could you come you're just a
[01:05:01] troll you don't care about any of this
[01:05:03] stuff you're just here for cloud I said
[01:05:05] John which event was this you know this
[01:05:07] was um this was the burn pits this is
[01:05:09] the burn pits bill was going through and
[01:05:11] it was the funding for the burn pits and
[01:05:13] Senator Cruz had initially voted for it
[01:05:16] but then pulled his vote and there was
[01:05:17] some question about his motives right
[01:05:19] and this was the this was the issue that
[01:05:20] I had was that and I said John
[01:05:23] um I said John I'm going to give you the
[01:05:27] benefit of the doubt and I'm going to
[01:05:28] say I don't question your motives on
[01:05:30] this because Jon Stewart has been great
[01:05:32] when it came to the 911 First Responders
[01:05:34] he has and I wasn't questioning his
[01:05:37] motives on the burn pit victims by the
[01:05:40] way and not to get into the issue that's
[01:05:41] veterans who have had smoke inhalation
[01:05:43] because of the burn pits in Afghanistan
[01:05:45] Iraq I've had friends from when I served
[01:05:48] in the Navy who had gone through that I
[01:05:50] have friends who
[01:05:52] you know girl I knew my unit she was
[01:05:54] losing her toenails losing her
[01:05:55] fingernails her hair because of this
[01:05:57] stuff I know a guy who you know he can't
[01:05:59] go over a certain altitude because he
[01:06:01] just he just can't because of his loans
[01:06:03] um but
[01:06:04] what Stuart was doing was saying well
[01:06:06] that Cruz had pulled his vote not
[01:06:08] because of a fiscal reason to me as well
[01:06:11] um and I'm not a huge fan of patsumi
[01:06:14] um that that because they hated the
[01:06:16] troops and I said John what I did was I
[01:06:18] showed him respect and I said I respect
[01:06:20] your motives and I respect your ideals
[01:06:23] but if you want to come together I'll
[01:06:25] work with you but we have to put the
[01:06:28] veterans first we have to put the people
[01:06:30] first and in doing that and showing
[01:06:32] respect we actually did a great video
[01:06:35] afterwards and the bill did pass
[01:06:38] I'm a veteran as well so thank you for
[01:06:40] your service well thank you for your
[01:06:41] service
[01:06:42] one final question
[01:06:44] why do people even try to do it again
[01:06:47] guys so it's got a long line behind you
[01:06:49] why do people debate
[01:06:51] we'll we'll talk after we'll talk we'll
[01:06:53] be around we'll be around thank you
[01:06:55] hi so
[01:06:57] I guess my my question deals with so
[01:06:59] like in general like you said you
[01:07:02] support limited government how does this
[01:07:04] tie into foreign policy because often I
[01:07:07] think there's like a trend with
[01:07:09] conservatives since Reagan to say to say
[01:07:11] they support limited government while
[01:07:13] also propping up this huge military and
[01:07:17] in my opinion like often like an Empire
[01:07:21] that that edges on imperialistic like
[01:07:24] the US does things it's a fair question
[01:07:26] it doesn't just Edge it is America is an
[01:07:28] Empire it's a global Empire yeah in many
[01:07:31] ways people there's actually an argument
[01:07:33] I heard recently that
[01:07:35] um say 500 years from now there may not
[01:07:38] be any meaningful distinction between
[01:07:40] the British Empire and the American
[01:07:41] Empire and they may just lump it into a
[01:07:43] British American era
[01:07:45] so do you how do you think we should
[01:07:47] conduct ourselves on the world stage
[01:07:49] like keeping in like morals in question
[01:07:52] like specifically one thing is like
[01:07:53] America supports things like supports
[01:07:56] like Israel's like expansion to
[01:07:58] Palestine and all the human rights
[01:07:59] atrocities that happen there or like I
[01:08:02] mean yeah that that's that's one of the
[01:08:04] big ones or like
[01:08:07] um like our covert interventions in
[01:08:10] Latin America all that stuff I mean like
[01:08:11] do you think that like as conservatives
[01:08:14] you have a duty to stand up and protest
[01:08:18] these like Imperial Ambitions I know
[01:08:21] like paleocons would say like oh yes but
[01:08:22] neocons don't I mean I guess I'm
[01:08:24] wondering where you stand in between
[01:08:25] that like how do you think we should
[01:08:28] conduct ourselves I mean I I won't speak
[01:08:30] for Michael for me it's America first
[01:08:31] right for me it's just America First and
[01:08:33] this idea that if we're going to
[01:08:39] if if we're going to be spending money
[01:08:41] to defend our borders it ought to be
[01:08:43] borders that benefit Americans not
[01:08:45] benefit the borders of any other country
[01:08:47] first
[01:08:49] um if we're going to be spending money
[01:08:50] on Aid then I want that Aid going to
[01:08:53] Florida and yes also to Puerto Rico all
[01:08:55] right President Biden he's there right
[01:08:56] now God bless him God bless him because
[01:08:58] he forgot that Florida got hit as well
[01:09:00] um but this idea that we need to be all
[01:09:03] things for all people we just don't look
[01:09:05] practical matter we don't have the money
[01:09:07] in the bank folks right we're printing
[01:09:09] money like crazy and the neocons want to
[01:09:13] do it for the defense contractors uh the
[01:09:16] libs want to do it for universities and
[01:09:19] all of their pet projects and at the end
[01:09:20] of the day we've been broke for a very
[01:09:22] very long time and that's why it is that
[01:09:26] the Financial Security of the
[01:09:28] Millennials and the Zoomers is very very
[01:09:31] much in a crisis because the people who
[01:09:34] came before you were completely
[01:09:36] irresponsible financially completely
[01:09:38] Irish responsible that is why
[01:09:41] our life expectancy is going down that's
[01:09:44] why the economy is in the sorry state
[01:09:45] that it's in that's why the U.S dollar
[01:09:47] is burgeoning on perhaps falling off the
[01:09:50] face of the global charts in terms of
[01:09:53] the world Reserve currency right that's
[01:09:55] because of our own Financial
[01:09:56] irresponsibility and it and they're
[01:09:58] going to sit there and blame you and say
[01:10:00] it's all your fault no it's not it's
[01:10:01] their fault there is that's a good point
[01:10:04] [Applause]
[01:10:06] there is also this fact of the Fallen
[01:10:08] World which is the great strong Nations
[01:10:10] become Empires and that's just sort of
[01:10:12] what happens and you can try to Stave it
[01:10:14] off a little bit and you can try to pull
[01:10:15] back here or there but as as Jack
[01:10:17] pointed out the only way that our
[01:10:20] economy can is staying afloat right now
[01:10:22] is because the US dollar is the global
[01:10:24] Reserve currency and the way that the US
[01:10:26] dollar is the global Reserve currency is
[01:10:28] because we're the global hegemon that
[01:10:30] governs a worldwide Empire and so you
[01:10:33] raise a question about America's
[01:10:35] relationship with Israel America has
[01:10:36] made a decision to support Israel and to
[01:10:38] support the existence of Israel in a
[01:10:40] hostile neighborhood where a lot of
[01:10:41] neighbors want to want to destroy Israel
[01:10:43] and so you might say well I don't I
[01:10:45] don't like that I think the United
[01:10:46] States should pull away from Israel you
[01:10:49] know what whatever your your view is on
[01:10:51] that particular relationship it is
[01:10:53] simply a fact that nations are going to
[01:10:55] have alliances and Nations you know
[01:10:57] certainly an Empire can't govern the
[01:11:00] world if it doesn't have alliances so
[01:11:01] you bring up covert action in Latin
[01:11:03] America in the United States saw that it
[01:11:06] was in its interest to prevent communist
[01:11:07] infiltration in Latin America and so we
[01:11:10] went in there and propped up some guys
[01:11:11] that we thought were more favorable to
[01:11:13] our interests I think Nations do that
[01:11:15] throughout the history of the world and
[01:11:17] Empires certainly have to do that so
[01:11:18] that that's that's just a fact and would
[01:11:21] that we could all return you know to
[01:11:23] some idyllic time in the past that that
[01:11:25] never existed by the way where we didn't
[01:11:27] have to worry about these things but we
[01:11:29] do and so to me the question is less can
[01:11:33] we you know I don't know is it is it
[01:11:34] wise to abandon the American Empire
[01:11:35] could we even abandon the American
[01:11:37] Empire but the question is how are we
[01:11:39] going to play the hand that we are dealt
[01:11:41] and how can we do that in a just way and
[01:11:43] in a way that's not going to throw our
[01:11:45] own citizens out the window and and
[01:11:47] destabilize the entire world and a lot
[01:11:50] of that does come down to prudence and
[01:11:51] judgment incompetence and and one of my
[01:11:53] issues by the way when we talk about we
[01:11:55] alluded earlier to the potential nuclear
[01:11:57] war that we're facing because the United
[01:11:58] States has just stumbled into a proxy
[01:12:00] war with a nuclear reform or superpower
[01:12:03] but but one of the issues here is just
[01:12:05] sheer competence and so again you know
[01:12:08] you you bring up really sort of
[01:12:09] ideological issues you know Israel or or
[01:12:13] uh Latin America or whatever but there
[01:12:15] is just a level of competence if you're
[01:12:16] gonna have a global Empire you need
[01:12:17] competent managers and unfortunately and
[01:12:20] not just the elected officials not just
[01:12:21] Joe Biden but the the Deep State you
[01:12:23] know the permanent government I would
[01:12:25] add that that
[01:12:26] um I actually do support covid covert
[01:12:29] operations in Latin America specifically
[01:12:31] um the ones that I would support right
[01:12:33] now is just South of the Border these
[01:12:35] organizations called the narco-terrorist
[01:12:37] cartels and I would absolutely support
[01:12:39] covert activity to take every single one
[01:12:41] of them out
[01:12:44] or overt whichever
[01:12:47] I'm good I always I always find the
[01:12:49] foreign policy questions are really
[01:12:51] frustrating because there's no easy dunk
[01:12:54] answer to it it's just extraordinarily
[01:12:56] complicated and and to deny America as
[01:12:59] an Empire is just to deny reality and so
[01:13:01] what are you going to do it right if
[01:13:03] we're going to nesian building and have
[01:13:04] a global Empire you'd think we'd at
[01:13:06] least be nation building in Nations that
[01:13:08] I don't know share a contiguous
[01:13:09] continent with us maybe that keeps
[01:13:11] sending
[01:13:12] versus operating in I mean there's you
[01:13:15] understand there's Cartel Wars going on
[01:13:17] in Mexico right now that affect Delaware
[01:13:21] right that you know as far as away as we
[01:13:23] are from the border they're actually
[01:13:24] that actually affects right where we're
[01:13:26] Newark Delaware that's because the
[01:13:28] Florida governor is about to send a
[01:13:30] plane load to Rehoboth Beach so yeah I'm
[01:13:31] waiting for that I'm waiting for it
[01:13:34] yep okay well thank you good question
[01:13:37] it's a good question with with just a
[01:13:39] sort of uh complicated answer of
[01:13:42] resignation you know is sort of the way
[01:13:43] that Empires are governed
[01:13:48] hey uh thank you for coming out here I
[01:13:49] know it's hard for conservatives to come
[01:13:51] to more liberal leaning areas like a
[01:13:53] college so thank you
[01:13:55] um I'd like to begin with first I agreed
[01:13:57] very much with what you said about the
[01:13:59] uh overreach of Corporations like Google
[01:14:01] and Amazon who in many uh instances
[01:14:03] control Our Lives more so than our
[01:14:06] actual elected government and our
[01:14:07] elected officials uh with that being
[01:14:09] said why do so many conservatives tend
[01:14:12] to support Lake laissez-faire economic
[01:14:14] models and deregulation of the market
[01:14:16] while deregulation is really what allows
[01:14:18] these companies to control every aspect
[01:14:20] of Our Lives more so than the government
[01:14:22] that we vote for uh do you think it is
[01:14:25] moral and just that private companies
[01:14:27] can have that ability to control Our
[01:14:30] Lives more so than our elected
[01:14:32] government no surely not and I think
[01:14:33] it's not a mistake that conservatives
[01:14:34] did it yeah I mean part of the reason
[01:14:36] the conservatives did we're working on
[01:14:38] it by the way well this is something
[01:14:40] that that you know gets into this sort
[01:14:42] of arguments you know we talk about
[01:14:43] Civil War earlier but the the other
[01:14:45] civil proxy war within conservatism
[01:14:47] right now is is this sort of Rise of the
[01:14:50] new rights versus the there's the
[01:14:52] alt-right there's the neoconservatives
[01:14:56] there's neoliberals there's all these
[01:14:57] different little pockets you know I've
[01:14:59] heard obscure political monikers are the
[01:15:01] right-wing version of gender pronouns
[01:15:03] there's like 10 000. yeah I'm a Paleo
[01:15:06] Neo
[01:15:08] has a little both so there is a huge
[01:15:11] movement right now in within the right
[01:15:13] and I think this is one that's also
[01:15:15] doing well politically that is focusing
[01:15:17] predominantly on on two issues those
[01:15:20] issues being immigration and trade
[01:15:23] and because those issues are getting
[01:15:25] such a focus that and you see that you
[01:15:28] saw this with President Trump you see it
[01:15:30] a lot with uh Governor Ron DeSantis and
[01:15:32] you're seeing it throughout the country
[01:15:33] that
[01:15:35] conservatives aren't scared anymore of
[01:15:38] using the tools of government to secure
[01:15:40] our rights
[01:15:43] I'm going to do it justly you don't want
[01:15:44] to do it with capriciousness or you know
[01:15:47] in an arbitrary way but you accept drug
[01:15:49] dealers that's right except for them
[01:15:51] then you just bomb them but but you you
[01:15:53] want to do it in a way that is just and
[01:15:55] prudent but yes you you ought to wield
[01:15:57] the power that the people give you on
[01:16:00] those happy occasions that they do give
[01:16:01] it to you and and so you know why did
[01:16:04] deregulation happen in part it was a
[01:16:07] sort of Triumph of the liberal
[01:16:08] establishment because even the right
[01:16:09] adopted a lot of their views but in part
[01:16:11] it was also to Spur growth and economic
[01:16:13] growth is a good thing and much maligned
[01:16:15] as the neoconservatives are these days
[01:16:17] the OG neoconservatives were actually
[01:16:20] pretty thoughtful people and Irving
[01:16:22] Crystal made this point he said the the
[01:16:24] right in America conservatism is
[01:16:26] nationalism religion and economic growth
[01:16:29] and I think most people on the new right
[01:16:30] would actually agree with with neocon
[01:16:33] Irving Crystal on that and and economic
[01:16:36] growth is very important there too and
[01:16:37] so unfortunately the desire forever
[01:16:40] higher GDP growth basically mortgaged
[01:16:43] away our political rights and allowed a
[01:16:45] bunch of woke oligarchs and in c-suites
[01:16:47] to uh to run roughshod over our
[01:16:49] traditional way of life so I agree
[01:16:51] that's a huge problem and we need to
[01:16:52] take it back
[01:16:54] well I agree with what you just said but
[01:16:56] it is freedom to have economic freedom
[01:17:00] and be required to work some people over
[01:17:02] 50 hours a week and the freedom to just
[01:17:05] be a unwavering consumer of products
[01:17:08] like in laissez-faire capitalism is that
[01:17:11] really the freedom that you want
[01:17:14] conservatives to well it's not an end
[01:17:16] it's not an end but it is a means and I
[01:17:18] think this is where people got a little
[01:17:20] screwed up with with laissez-faire
[01:17:22] capitalism and the sort of worship of
[01:17:24] markets markets are a very efficient
[01:17:25] means toward political flourishing but
[01:17:28] they're not an end so you you don't want
[01:17:30] to make markets and end onto themselves
[01:17:33] having material wealth and prosperity is
[01:17:35] a good thing but it's not an end if you
[01:17:37] make that the end of your Society you
[01:17:39] just worship the way I like to put it is
[01:17:40] you know we are a people with an economy
[01:17:42] not the other way around
[01:17:44] um to sort of paraphrase on of Reagan's
[01:17:47] idea about the government that the
[01:17:49] economy is a tool right it's a tool that
[01:17:51] can help us it's a tool that can make
[01:17:53] our lives better but if our lives get to
[01:17:55] the point where all we're doing is
[01:17:57] serving that economy in the name of
[01:17:59] meaningless and
[01:18:02] mindless consumption like you're talking
[01:18:04] about then you're just some you're just
[01:18:07] some insect at that point in you're a
[01:18:09] worker drone uh serving the queen of the
[01:18:11] colony and you know she has the eggs you
[01:18:14] eventually die right you never even get
[01:18:16] to eat the honey you're not having kids
[01:18:18] of your own she has the kids and so we
[01:18:20] should as conservatives or the new right
[01:18:22] or the new conservative movement
[01:18:23] whatever you want to call it be working
[01:18:25] towards the kind of society where we can
[01:18:27] get back to the point where you ought to
[01:18:29] be able to have a family and survive on
[01:18:32] a single income where people can raise
[01:18:34] their kids as they see fit
[01:18:44] all right we'll have to chat after I
[01:18:45] guess they're withholding the microphone
[01:18:47] yeah I'm looking I've got a clock back
[01:18:49] here and I see a long line so
[01:18:50] it was going on guys um just want to say
[01:18:53] I appreciate you coming out here to
[01:18:54] campus especially at UD
[01:18:55] um there was a lot of people that did
[01:18:57] not want you guys to come but I'm a firm
[01:18:59] believer I didn't want him to come
[01:19:00] either just for just to be it's like
[01:19:02] they're I was like what I gotta share a
[01:19:03] stage with him yes and I saw you coming
[01:19:05] I was like oh I've seen him before yeah
[01:19:06] so okay so my question is um
[01:19:10] since the conception of America right we
[01:19:13] had the idea that we were being
[01:19:14] untreated we were being treated unfairly
[01:19:16] by Britain right so we said okay by any
[01:19:18] means necessary let's go ahead and rebel
[01:19:20] against the establishment let's
[01:19:21] establish our own country our new nation
[01:19:24] in the way that we see fit why was it
[01:19:27] different do you think in uh the 50s or
[01:19:30] 60s let me not even presume your opinion
[01:19:32] already but what do you think about
[01:19:34] figures like Malcolm X or the Black
[01:19:35] Panthers who basically said the same
[01:19:37] thing we're being untreated treated
[01:19:39] unfairly so by any means necessary we
[01:19:41] have the right to fight you did just put
[01:19:43] the words of Malcolm X into the mouth of
[01:19:45] George Washington which I don't think he
[01:19:46] said that exact phrase and they did not
[01:19:48] permit any means necessary they waged
[01:19:51] actually a largely civilized war and
[01:19:54] preserved the political Traditions from
[01:19:55] England even after
[01:19:57] overthrowing that government in the new
[01:19:59] world but that aside the point is very
[01:20:02] well taken Jack do you want to take a
[01:20:03] crack at it well I I do think that you
[01:20:06] you raise an interesting question and I
[01:20:09] think that you know for conservatives it
[01:20:11] would be easier to just say oh those
[01:20:12] guys were crazy and they were completely
[01:20:15] insane and I you know obviously I don't
[01:20:18] condone any of the violence of of the
[01:20:21] Black Panthers but when what I do see
[01:20:24] though is I believe what you're saying
[01:20:25] is that this was these were groups and
[01:20:28] um in this case uh Malcolm X who was
[01:20:30] trying to and and Malcolm X by the way
[01:20:32] who left the Nation of Islam at one
[01:20:34] point in order to be able to because he
[01:20:36] thought it was becoming too radical and
[01:20:38] that he wanted to find a better life for
[01:20:40] his people and they were the ones who
[01:20:42] later had him killed in fact Elijah
[01:20:43] Muhammad later on just kind of joked
[01:20:46] about basically ordering the
[01:20:48] assassination of Malcolm X and so you
[01:20:50] know Jack fasovich goes to University of
[01:20:53] Delaware and you know uh supports
[01:20:55] Malcolm X is going to be the headline
[01:20:57] here but but when when you look at this
[01:20:59] though I I think when I when I read that
[01:21:01] story
[01:21:02] it showed me that even maybe even to an
[01:21:05] extent and this is just my analysis but
[01:21:08] um maybe even he realized that again it
[01:21:10] shouldn't just be any means necessary
[01:21:12] you do have to work with to find the
[01:21:15] practicalities in the system because
[01:21:17] there's always going to be trade-offs
[01:21:18] and that's what Michael was just saying
[01:21:20] in terms of foreign policy there's
[01:21:21] always going to be trade-offs but maybe
[01:21:23] in by making some of those trade-offs
[01:21:25] rather than being completely iconoclast
[01:21:27] you can actually find a better solution
[01:21:30] and a better result than simply saying
[01:21:32] you know we've got to go full Ted
[01:21:34] Kaczynski on whatever that we think the
[01:21:36] problem is
[01:21:37] it's a great point and there's a strange
[01:21:40] coincidence here which is there was a
[01:21:42] someone joked on Twitter the other day
[01:21:44] uh that there was going to be a new
[01:21:46] biopic of Malcolm X produced by Matt
[01:21:49] Walsh starring me as Malcolm X and I
[01:21:53] thought this was sort of funny well as
[01:21:54] you said the Italians are the Italians
[01:21:56] are racially ambiguous and so this
[01:21:58] started to go and it was picked up in
[01:22:01] entertainment blogs and a lot of
[01:22:02] prominent leftists really took this
[01:22:05] seriously so you know I don't want to
[01:22:07] talk myself out of a job here by
[01:22:08] disparaging brother Malcolm but uh but
[01:22:11] you know what you're saying is how is
[01:22:14] the
[01:22:15] revolutionary action against a regime
[01:22:18] different in the 1960s than it was in
[01:22:20] the 1770s and I would say it it may not
[01:22:24] be different in principle uh though
[01:22:27] there are some distinctions to be had
[01:22:28] but there is the it's not just about
[01:22:30] procedure it's about substance as well
[01:22:32] so then the question is what sort of
[01:22:34] regime is being overthrown and with what
[01:22:36] to replace it and I think to brought to
[01:22:38] run it out from Malcolm X and and the
[01:22:40] black power movement even to just the
[01:22:42] broader new left that was you know the
[01:22:44] weather underground and all those sorts
[01:22:45] of characters I just think that the the
[01:22:47] society that they were trying to affect
[01:22:49] was overtly communist in many cases the
[01:22:52] society was extremely uh radical was
[01:22:55] grounded in violence and a kind of
[01:22:57] persistent violence and a continual
[01:22:59] Perpetual Revolution that I think is
[01:23:02] just not preferable to the regime that
[01:23:04] was already in place where improvements
[01:23:06] could be made and in some cases have
[01:23:08] been made so I think you have to look at
[01:23:09] the specifics of it as well it's not
[01:23:11] just uh do we want to have Revolution
[01:23:13] now the question is what are we we going
[01:23:15] to do after the revolution some some
[01:23:17] revolutions can be perfectly fine like
[01:23:20] the American Revolution some revolutions
[01:23:22] turn to the terror like the French
[01:23:23] Revolution and I don't trust the new
[01:23:25] left from the 1960s to give us the the
[01:23:27] nice version of that I I expect the
[01:23:29] guillotine from them Charlie because
[01:23:31] they brought bombs out anyway Charlie
[01:23:32] had a question about this recently at an
[01:23:34] event and um to kind of you know
[01:23:37] reiterate what Charlie would probably
[01:23:39] say if you were here because he said it
[01:23:40] recently he pointed out that the United
[01:23:42] States did not the the founding fathers
[01:23:44] didn't declare war on Britain they
[01:23:47] declared independence right so they were
[01:23:49] duly elected representatives of the
[01:23:51] colonies they declared themselves States
[01:23:52] they declared independence it wasn't an
[01:23:55] act of violence it wasn't an act of
[01:23:57] aggression there weren't uh terror
[01:23:59] strikes on British compounds or anything
[01:24:02] like this or military facilities in any
[01:24:04] way it was the British that eventually
[01:24:07] went to Lexington and Concord they went
[01:24:09] to ball et cetera Etc that led to all of
[01:24:12] this it wasn't the Americans going
[01:24:13] around and doing that in the first
[01:24:15] instance
[01:24:16] here's the Boston Massacre we did start
[01:24:18] throwing the Rocks first but I agree it
[01:24:20] was just throwing rocks so that was a
[01:24:21] couple rocks that was a few rocks
[01:24:23] between George Washington didn't throw
[01:24:24] those rocks you don't have fingerprint
[01:24:25] evidence of that
[01:24:27] good question great question it is a
[01:24:30] good question seriously I am terribly
[01:24:32] sorry to provoke more Italian on Italian
[01:24:34] violence I know you and found you
[01:24:36] already have beef oh uh yeah I'm
[01:24:37] terribly sorry to provoke any more
[01:24:38] Italian on Italian violence I know you
[01:24:40] and Fouch already had beef but briefly
[01:24:42] uh you two touched on uh the holy see
[01:24:44] and you talked about how um Pope Francis
[01:24:46] doesn't exactly agree with you let's say
[01:24:49] on many issues I've heard him described
[01:24:52] as the Socialist Pope how do you
[01:24:54] reconcile being a Catholic but having
[01:24:56] your own head of Faith essentially being
[01:24:58] ideologically opposed to you listen I'm
[01:25:01] I'm not terribly worried about it I
[01:25:04] think the Lord sometimes sends us popes
[01:25:07] who say interesting things to remind us
[01:25:09] that the pope is fallible except when he
[01:25:11] is infallible and and the pope by the
[01:25:13] way you know the way he's covered in the
[01:25:16] media is not always reflective of the
[01:25:18] things he actually believes I I do
[01:25:20] remember that when he was Cardinal of
[01:25:21] Buenos Aires uh Pope Francis then
[01:25:24] Cardinal bergoglio said that gay
[01:25:27] marriage same-sex marriage is no mere
[01:25:30] political lobby but rather a machination
[01:25:32] of the father of lies that seeks to
[01:25:34] deceive and confuse the children of God
[01:25:36] so pretty based as far as I'm concerned
[01:25:38] and and you know you see these things he
[01:25:41] referred
[01:25:42] thank you
[01:25:43] Pope Francis referred to abortion he
[01:25:46] likened it to hiring an assassin to kill
[01:25:48] somebody so you know he has said things
[01:25:51] that raise eyebrows and they raise dubia
[01:25:53] and that some have said to Papa
[01:25:55] Francesca what are you talking about and
[01:25:57] then often the Vatican will sort of walk
[01:25:59] back some of those comments but I don't
[01:26:01] stay up too late at night because there
[01:26:02] is the magisterium of the church I fully
[01:26:05] 100 accept the magisterium of the church
[01:26:07] and if the pope has a sort of stray
[01:26:09] opinion that he's musing about it on an
[01:26:10] airplane that doesn't really affect my
[01:26:12] life to answer the broader question
[01:26:14] though that um you know and Charlie and
[01:26:16] I get into this sometimes
[01:26:17] um
[01:26:18] uh Evangelical Charlie and I when we're
[01:26:21] on on the show together that I say look
[01:26:23] you know you can disagree with this Pope
[01:26:25] you could use that that Pope when
[01:26:27] they're talking about political matters
[01:26:29] because when and to Michael's uh point
[01:26:32] about infallible when you're not in it
[01:26:34] not infallible right fallible we're not
[01:26:36] infallible it's this idea that when he's
[01:26:38] speaking ex-cathedra so ex-cathedra in
[01:26:40] the seat of Saint Peter on behalf of the
[01:26:42] entire church that's a very serious
[01:26:45] written out uh it's gone over with uh
[01:26:48] with the magisterium at length before
[01:26:51] any of those people eat extra people
[01:26:53] Bulls are issued those encyclicals and
[01:26:55] so when he's making comments in an
[01:26:57] interview or something that might just
[01:26:58] be his personal opinion on something and
[01:27:00] that might not be that necessarily
[01:27:01] something that I I have to follow as you
[01:27:04] know as the dirty papist that I am
[01:27:06] um but that being said you know to the
[01:27:09] broader question of you know I hear this
[01:27:11] you know do you support how can you
[01:27:13] support this Pope Etc and I'll say well
[01:27:15] look you know as a Catholic we've had a
[01:27:17] lot of popes the same way the United
[01:27:19] States has had a lot of presidents but
[01:27:21] you don't you know tear up your passport
[01:27:23] and tear up your flag because you just
[01:27:25] have a disagreement with the president
[01:27:29] the gospel the question raised in the
[01:27:31] gospel is is you know after Christ has
[01:27:33] the hard sayings and he describes his
[01:27:35] his flesh being true food and his blood
[01:27:38] being too dranken and many people go
[01:27:40] away because this is a hard saying he
[01:27:42] says to his Apostles will you leave me
[01:27:43] too and the apostles say to whom shall
[01:27:46] we go do whom shall we go you know
[01:27:48] you're you're the way in the truth and
[01:27:50] the life and so that's that's my opinion
[01:27:52] too to whom shall I go
[01:27:57] [Applause]
[01:28:00] gentlemen thank you so much for being
[01:28:02] here Mr Knowles I just want to say I
[01:28:04] love your podcast thank you so much I
[01:28:06] appreciate it you're a man of excellent
[01:28:07] taste I can tell thank you hopefully we
[01:28:10] can get a shout out next episode wink
[01:28:12] wink what's your name tame on Hamlet
[01:28:15] University of Delaware say the name
[01:28:17] again I can't uh tamon Hamlet tamon it's
[01:28:20] a great name I'll have to remember that
[01:28:22] for the show tomorrow I I just wanted to
[01:28:24] ask really briefly about the
[01:28:25] Constitution it seems today that being
[01:28:28] pro-constitution is synonymous with
[01:28:30] being conservative I mean you ask young
[01:28:32] people today they think it should be
[01:28:34] changed Rewritten or most people don't
[01:28:36] even read the Constitution so why do you
[01:28:38] think the Democrats of this nation steer
[01:28:41] it away from our founding document
[01:28:45] well it's easy right it's it's it's it's
[01:28:47] the you know the it's it's basically
[01:28:49] like water following the path of least
[01:28:51] resistance this idea that because to
[01:28:53] your point about nobody reading books
[01:28:55] anymore I guess with Ben's point that um
[01:28:57] you know how many people actually know
[01:29:00] what the Constitution says versus
[01:29:02] whatever the top Google result for the
[01:29:04] Constitution is which is always
[01:29:05] predominant usually when you look this
[01:29:07] up it's always some like University
[01:29:10] Professor has written their version of
[01:29:13] what the con they believe the
[01:29:15] Constitution says for example the Second
[01:29:16] Amendment right shall not be infringed
[01:29:19] it's pretty explicit right but you'll
[01:29:21] find professors and lawyers an entire
[01:29:23] industry will go in and try to interpret
[01:29:26] those those words when it's it's right
[01:29:29] there in the text right shall not be
[01:29:30] infringed what did they mean by this you
[01:29:33] know you know and then and you know just
[01:29:35] just piles and mountains of cope after
[01:29:38] that but the idea basically is that if
[01:29:41] they can get away with it they will
[01:29:42] because again uh this goes back to I
[01:29:45] think what we started at at the
[01:29:46] beginning of saying this constitution
[01:29:48] was written for society with one moral
[01:29:51] core and if you take away that moral
[01:29:54] core and attempt to replace it with a
[01:29:57] new moral core then they will find ways
[01:29:59] to apply those words of the very same
[01:30:01] Constitution the very same declaration
[01:30:03] the words of Jefferson's you know
[01:30:06] letters his private letters like this
[01:30:07] where we get separation of church and
[01:30:09] state obviously it's from private
[01:30:10] correspondence had nothing to do with
[01:30:12] his public speeches or edicts Etc and
[01:30:15] certainly not how he governed uh state
[01:30:16] of Virginia but and and the um the State
[01:30:19] Constitution that he wrote there but
[01:30:21] it's basically this idea that if you
[01:30:23] take away our moral core the moral core
[01:30:26] that we had at
[01:30:28] the conception of our country right then
[01:30:32] you can make the Constitution mean
[01:30:33] whatever you want this is why in Beto
[01:30:35] O'Rourke recently came out and said he
[01:30:37] believes in a living Constitution that
[01:30:39] is what they believe it's a darwinian
[01:30:40] belief it is a belief in natural
[01:30:42] selection and it is completely
[01:30:44] antithetical to how this country was set
[01:30:46] up you know there's a reason
[01:30:48] uh they say there's a reason that the
[01:30:50] gospels don't um it doesn't address
[01:30:52] atheism right you know Christ never
[01:30:54] addresses atheism you know why because
[01:30:56] atheists didn't exist back then right
[01:30:58] you either you either worshiped I don't
[01:31:00] know that they exist now you know yeah
[01:31:02] right right oh true
[01:31:04] um yeah atheists and voxels but it's
[01:31:06] it's this idea that everyone believed in
[01:31:08] some God back then whether it was Yahweh
[01:31:10] or whether whether they're worshiping
[01:31:12] Bal or moloch there's a lot of those
[01:31:13] worshipers still today
[01:31:15] um but by the same token the
[01:31:18] Constitution doesn't necessarily address
[01:31:20] morality because at the time they didn't
[01:31:22] have to right and that's the big
[01:31:24] difference between then and now yeah you
[01:31:26] see it in the writings of John Adams and
[01:31:28] of John Jay in particular when people
[01:31:31] say well what did the Constitution mean
[01:31:32] we know there are we have the Federalist
[01:31:35] you know we have a very lengthy
[01:31:37] explanation of what the Constitution
[01:31:38] means and when you see uh in especially
[01:31:41] in the writings of Jay and Adams they
[01:31:44] declare that the country is a Christian
[01:31:45] Nation that's found on Christian
[01:31:46] principles and it's the only thing that
[01:31:48] United the people when they when they
[01:31:49] built the country and that's what it's
[01:31:51] for so we can know that the left
[01:31:52] obviously doesn't like that they don't
[01:31:54] like Christianity they don't like the
[01:31:56] country they don't like the way the
[01:31:57] whole thing is set up and they they want
[01:31:58] to attack it and they say it's an evil
[01:32:00] country from the very beginning and we
[01:32:01] need to overthrow it and so they they
[01:32:04] obviously have a hostile relationship to
[01:32:05] the Constitution it's helpful to them
[01:32:07] when they can to just uh go in and
[01:32:10] rewrite it as Jack was pointing out it's
[01:32:12] easier when they can to to infiltrate
[01:32:14] institutions and just wear them like the
[01:32:17] like a husk you know sort of rotted out
[01:32:19] husk and they animate it like Night of
[01:32:20] the Living Dead but when they can't do
[01:32:22] that they'll just say like I am Men In
[01:32:24] Black you remember the beginning that's
[01:32:25] right stretching his head back their
[01:32:26] skin suits basically that's right it's a
[01:32:28] skin suit and so but when they can't do
[01:32:29] that they'll they'll attack it and
[01:32:31] desecrate it and mock it which they do
[01:32:32] regularly in the New York Times and
[01:32:34] they're just going to alternate on that
[01:32:35] but it's it's an end seeking a
[01:32:37] justification the end is we hate the
[01:32:39] country and want to remake it and the
[01:32:41] justification they'll figure that out
[01:32:43] along the way which is also why they
[01:32:44] have to constantly redefine words
[01:32:45] constantly
[01:32:48] thank you
[01:32:50] tamon by the way tamon Hamel Tamar
[01:32:55] chairman thanks for uh coming here um
[01:32:57] I'm a big history freak uh I I read
[01:33:00] history I watch documentaries on the
[01:33:02] Revolution and and um something was
[01:33:05] worth fighting for back then and it
[01:33:07] wasn't pretty
[01:33:08] um
[01:33:09] given the situation now
[01:33:11] um where we're going there's obviously
[01:33:13] some um
[01:33:15] some threats to our democracy which one
[01:33:18] would you think is hopefully this
[01:33:20] question makes sense but which one would
[01:33:21] you think is the biggest threat
[01:33:23] unelected officials
[01:33:25] or officials or or government that don't
[01:33:28] represent us
[01:33:30] um namely rhinos that you think will
[01:33:33] represent you and then they
[01:33:35] you follow the money and they they're
[01:33:37] following the money and they don't
[01:33:38] represent you it's just cowardice that
[01:33:41] that's the real fear cowardice and
[01:33:43] ignorance I guess are the two things
[01:33:44] because you know I think the people are
[01:33:47] broadly with us on a lot of issues but
[01:33:49] unfortunately we don't have much of a
[01:33:51] democracy we were never intended to have
[01:33:53] a democracy the the word democracy does
[01:33:56] not appear in the Constitution doesn't
[01:33:57] appear in the Declaration it appears a
[01:33:59] handful of times in the Federalist only
[01:34:01] negatively by the way only with
[01:34:03] disapproval so what we were given was a
[01:34:05] nation with a mixed sort of regime with
[01:34:07] a strong executive and A legislature and
[01:34:11] an aristocratic uh sort of
[01:34:13] representation then obviously a very
[01:34:14] strong Democratic element as well but
[01:34:16] they warned us actually Publius warned
[01:34:18] us in the Federalist that there could
[01:34:21] come a time when it seemed as though we
[01:34:22] were expanding the Democracy but by
[01:34:25] apparently expanding the Democracy you
[01:34:27] were really just creating a facade that
[01:34:29] was that was masking an oligarchy and so
[01:34:32] I think that's what we seem to have done
[01:34:34] through the 17th Amendment through
[01:34:35] election of senators through the
[01:34:37] constant pithil about ever more direct
[01:34:39] Democratic participation I think really
[01:34:41] what the libs have done is just create
[01:34:43] more and more of an oligarchy and it's
[01:34:44] an oligarchy that they themselves are
[01:34:46] running right the destruction of the
[01:34:48] electoral college right and they're aim
[01:34:50] they're obviously trying to destroy the
[01:34:51] Electoral College yeah um I for me
[01:34:54] though I I think the there's two great
[01:34:56] threats here number one the greatest
[01:34:58] threat to democracy as it stands right
[01:35:01] now and when I say democracy I mean the
[01:35:03] representative power of the people to
[01:35:04] actually have an effect in their
[01:35:06] government is censorship because 2016
[01:35:08] scared the hell out of the regime when
[01:35:12] they saw what people could do if they
[01:35:14] could share true information if they
[01:35:16] could connect if they could meet in
[01:35:18] rooms like we're meeting tonight on a
[01:35:20] college campus and have discussions like
[01:35:22] this and meet in person the amount of
[01:35:24] power that that has and discuss things
[01:35:26] that they don't want being discussed and
[01:35:29] commit thought Crime After thought crime
[01:35:30] while we're together is terrifying to
[01:35:32] them
[01:35:33] is the unelected official or the elected
[01:35:36] officials scared scared of that or oh
[01:35:37] yes
[01:35:38] oh they're all terrified of it they're
[01:35:40] every single one of them is terrified of
[01:35:42] it that's why they're trying that's why
[01:35:43] people like Nina Yankovic tried to set
[01:35:45] up this thing called the disinformation
[01:35:46] governance board and then which I
[01:35:49] completely discovered exposed blew up
[01:35:52] and got her fired in disgrace from the
[01:35:55] Department of Homeland Security
[01:35:59] and by the way by the way
[01:36:02] uh for you know I assume this is being
[01:36:04] live streamed uh as a message for Nina
[01:36:07] or anybody else out there I'm just going
[01:36:08] to say this should you try to get any
[01:36:11] one of these set up ever anywhere else
[01:36:13] in the government I will expose you and
[01:36:15] I will get you fired just as quickly I
[01:36:18] will find you
[01:36:19] I will expose you
[01:36:23] uh thank you for being here um so you
[01:36:25] spoke earlier about moral Clarity and
[01:36:27] how people on the right and people on
[01:36:28] the left have different moral clarities
[01:36:30] how would you convince someone on the
[01:36:32] left
[01:36:33] um with a different moral Clarity that
[01:36:34] yours is correct and if you can't how
[01:36:37] would you quote agree to disagree
[01:36:39] unquote if you can do that well so the
[01:36:41] moral order is not just some preference
[01:36:43] of mine you know I like vanilla and you
[01:36:45] like chocolate the moral order is an
[01:36:47] objective thing and the moral order can
[01:36:49] be perceived and and understood or
[01:36:52] certainly conceived through our reason
[01:36:54] and our moral conscience and if you say
[01:36:57] that to many libs they will laugh in
[01:36:59] your face and and they they probably
[01:37:01] won't even admit that there's such a
[01:37:03] thing they almost certainly won't admit
[01:37:05] there's such a thing as God and they
[01:37:06] probably won't admit that there's such a
[01:37:08] thing as objective truth and so you're
[01:37:09] going to have to get them there first
[01:37:11] and it's very easy to convince someone
[01:37:12] that there is objective truth which is
[01:37:14] when they say there's no such thing as
[01:37:16] objective truth you will ask them well
[01:37:18] is that statement objectively true and
[01:37:20] assuming that they you know stop around
[01:37:23] after a while they'll have to admit that
[01:37:25] they they do a seed to some sort of
[01:37:28] objective truth and so then it is
[01:37:31] helpful to get them to believe in God
[01:37:33] which is God's existence is self-evident
[01:37:36] and can be known uh By the Light of
[01:37:38] reason from the created World
[01:37:40] um there are many good Arguments for the
[01:37:42] existence of God there were no good
[01:37:43] arguments against God but you might have
[01:37:45] to reason them through a little bit
[01:37:47] there as well I think only once you do
[01:37:50] that
[01:37:50] can you uh Point people to the realities
[01:37:54] of of morals that they already perceive
[01:37:57] it's an amazing thing how people know
[01:37:59] things to be true and they just won't
[01:38:01] let themselves admit it we know it's
[01:38:03] wrong to commit murder we know it's
[01:38:05] wrong to eat human beings we know
[01:38:07] cannibalism is wrong why is it wrong it
[01:38:09] just is we have a kind of wisdom he was
[01:38:11] watching Jeffrey Dahmer all last night
[01:38:12] yeah that's right you know
[01:38:15] but these are things Leon Cass used the
[01:38:18] bioethicist used a great phrase here the
[01:38:20] wisdom of repugnance I could I guess I
[01:38:22] could come up with some argument as to
[01:38:24] why cannibalism is wrong but I don't
[01:38:26] really need to we just kind of know that
[01:38:28] it is and this is to run so many moral
[01:38:29] issues because we are endowed by our
[01:38:31] creator with a moral conscience and with
[01:38:33] reason and so I think get people first
[01:38:36] you just say hey buddy we're not on a
[01:38:38] debate stage okay it's just you and me
[01:38:40] pal just you and me here over stogies
[01:38:42] you're going to admit to me right
[01:38:45] um you know having sex with 500 women at
[01:38:49] a time and then you know killing a bunch
[01:38:50] of orphan children and then you know I
[01:38:53] don't know going out and doing a bunch
[01:38:54] of heroin that's probably not good right
[01:38:57] and they'd say well I don't want to
[01:38:59] admit that there's a moral reality but I
[01:39:00] guess if it's just us okay I'll admit
[01:39:02] that that's true and once would you by
[01:39:04] the way we all agree in the ancient
[01:39:05] world in the ancient world that was
[01:39:07] accepted morality for many for
[01:39:09] throughout the Bronze Age throughout the
[01:39:11] Iron Iron Age and it's only with the
[01:39:13] coming of God and first through Abraham
[01:39:16] right that we started to have this new
[01:39:18] moral order that came through because
[01:39:20] there there were societies that practice
[01:39:23] child sacrifice that that happened in
[01:39:25] the Americas all the way up through
[01:39:27] through the time of Columbus by the way
[01:39:29] um go look at the Cahokia Mounds out in
[01:39:31] Illinois right on the banks of the
[01:39:32] Mississippi where the teenagers were
[01:39:33] murdered because they wanted good crops
[01:39:36] um you saw a child sacrifice to moloch
[01:39:38] for for years uh these were real things
[01:39:41] that actually happened in our world and
[01:39:43] we find in Peru we've every day it feels
[01:39:46] like there's a new article about finding
[01:39:48] some Mass grave of children and so
[01:39:49] there's this idea it by the way this is
[01:39:51] the reason that when the Aztecs were
[01:39:54] overthrown by the Spanish that many of
[01:39:56] the other tribes joined with Cortez to
[01:39:59] go after the Aztecs because they didn't
[01:40:01] want to have to keep sending their
[01:40:02] children to be ritualistically
[01:40:05] slaughtered in these in these Arcane
[01:40:07] Pagan practices made MS-13 look like Boy
[01:40:09] Scouts oh easily easily and so this idea
[01:40:12] and I've just um
[01:40:13] you know just came back actually from
[01:40:15] Israel about one week ago went to the
[01:40:17] holy land with my family and
[01:40:19] um incredible just absolutely incredible
[01:40:22] and you know for for those you know I
[01:40:25] agree with everything you said about the
[01:40:26] idea of a universal morality and this
[01:40:29] idea of trying to get them to at least
[01:40:30] admit that by the way this is the the
[01:40:32] reason that simulation theory is such a
[01:40:34] cope by the way so simulation theory is
[01:40:36] a cope by the secularists to try to to
[01:40:40] try to have because they have to admit
[01:40:41] that things just work a little bit too
[01:40:43] well for it to have all been random and
[01:40:45] so they couldn't you know this whole um
[01:40:48] life was seated by aliens Theory didn't
[01:40:49] quite go anywhere because they don't
[01:40:51] have any aliens to point to so now the
[01:40:52] new one is simulation Theory and say
[01:40:54] well what if some Creator came and
[01:40:57] constructed this reality and we're just
[01:40:59] programs and Sprites living within the
[01:41:01] reality and there's some greater plan
[01:41:03] like a program for example and I said
[01:41:06] well yeah that Saint Paul's been saying
[01:41:07] that for two thousand years so but you
[01:41:09] know and you can walk through all that
[01:41:10] but for me you know I'm probably just
[01:41:13] going to go up to the and you know they
[01:41:14] start throwing all that at me and I just
[01:41:16] go no many patrons
[01:41:20] and I'll just do the whole thing because
[01:41:22] at that point it's it you're not you're
[01:41:25] not even having a conversation yeah
[01:41:27] that's true they'll understand the Latin
[01:41:28] about as well as they'll understand the
[01:41:30] English but it's worth a value and
[01:41:31] effort I think it's really worth a good
[01:41:32] try and and look I mean on that point I
[01:41:36] was I was never really a lid but I was
[01:41:37] an atheist for 10 years I know plenty of
[01:41:39] people who at this at the religious
[01:41:41] level we all have regrets that's right
[01:41:43] yeah no I mean I know people who've
[01:41:44] converted religiously I know people who
[01:41:46] have changed their mind politically some
[01:41:48] in a dramatic way and so these little
[01:41:50] conversations really do matter it's why
[01:41:51] it's why I'll speak for myself I assume
[01:41:54] it's true of you too Jack it's why we
[01:41:55] come out to the college campuses because
[01:41:57] every so often you get someone who comes
[01:41:59] up to you says you know this one random
[01:42:01] thing you said that you probably forgot
[01:42:02] that actually got me thinking and then I
[01:42:04] read this guy and then I looked this up
[01:42:05] and then it really all kind of changed
[01:42:06] my way of viewing things and so I
[01:42:08] wouldn't give up as we said earlier
[01:42:09] getting black pilled is just a total uh
[01:42:12] it's very stupid it's very simple full
[01:42:14] you shouldn't do it have hope we're
[01:42:15] called to have hope it's a theological
[01:42:16] fact we're going to win anyway in the
[01:42:18] end and we're gonna have a good time
[01:42:19] fighting in the meantime by the way guys
[01:42:21] we are winning and we're going to win
