[00:01:13] month at the daily wire in fact we're
[00:01:15] going to do it again on March 4th for
[00:01:17] the president's joint session of
[00:01:18] Congress where we get the whole team
[00:01:20] together and we talk about what's on our
[00:01:21] mind and so this will be a little bit
[00:01:23] different than the other panels that
[00:01:25] have happened throughout the day because
[00:01:26] we have to do ad
[00:01:28] reads it's okay okay it's how we uh buy
[00:01:31] the plane tickets to get out
[00:01:33] here what I want to talk about though
[00:01:35] first right out of the gate today is 30
[00:01:37] days of Donald Trump into his second
[00:01:44] term which means even if you don't like
[00:01:46] Donald Trump you're 30 days closer to
[00:01:48] being the the Democrats must be thrilled
[00:01:51] I don't know I don't know if they are I
[00:01:52] want to talk about all the amazing
[00:01:54] things that have happened in this first
[00:01:55] 30 days one of the most dynamic and
[00:01:58] energetic beginnings of any presidency
[00:01:59] certainly in my lifetime and since we
[00:02:02] got all of our Pals here at CAC let's
[00:02:03] just talk about how great it's been
[00:02:06] Michael my favorite thing this is very
[00:02:09] difficult because I loved when President
[00:02:12] Trump Napoleon posted on Twitter and
[00:02:16] social I thought that was great loved
[00:02:18] that I loved when JD Vance gave lectures
[00:02:20] on to mytic philosophy to that CBS news
[00:02:23] lady on television that was great but my
[00:02:25] favorite thing I think my actual
[00:02:27] favorite Initiative for the first 30
[00:02:29] days
[00:02:30] has got to be the presidential
[00:02:32] pardons I loved I felt politically it
[00:02:35] was very important for the j6 pardons to
[00:02:37] go through but my favorite pardons
[00:02:40] though my absolute favorite the
[00:02:42] pro-lifers who were unjustly imprisoned
[00:02:45] by Joe Biden and the Democrats they are
[00:02:48] American Heroes I ran into one of them
[00:02:50] outside John Henshaw he might be in this
[00:02:53] room right now these are American Heroes
[00:02:55] these are deeply virtuous people they
[00:02:57] were trampled on by their government and
[00:02:59] Donald Trump rectified a major major
[00:03:02] wrong he deserves a lot of credit for
[00:03:04] it you know if I were to uh if I were to
[00:03:08] say my favorite thing from Trump's term
[00:03:09] well I I number two I'll get to number
[00:03:12] one but number two you only get one well
[00:03:14] I got to my R my runner up is uh is
[00:03:19] Trump talking about at least talking
[00:03:20] about potentially taking back control of
[00:03:22] the Panama Canal that's a little bit of
[00:03:24] a deep cut but I think that's an
[00:03:25] important thing and Greenland too maybe
[00:03:28] we're taking Canada we'll see
[00:03:30] we got to get rid of the can move the
[00:03:31] Canadians somewhere else because we
[00:03:33] don't want the Canadians but we want
[00:03:34] Canada we want the land not so much the
[00:03:36] people on
[00:03:38] it uh we'll move them to reservations up
[00:03:40] in the Arctic and they'll be they'll be
[00:03:43] quite happy um but my actual favorite
[00:03:46] thing is what I think is the end
[00:03:49] basically the end of the trans agenda of
[00:03:52] gender ideology in this country
[00:03:57] um you know this is the the Fight
[00:04:00] Continues because the people that
[00:04:02] advocate for this Butchery and this
[00:04:04] Insanity aren't just going to go away
[00:04:05] they're going to they're going to find a
[00:04:07] way to um to continue victimizing kids
[00:04:10] and so the fight will continue in that
[00:04:11] way but look we've got with Donald Trump
[00:04:13] in just a few weeks we have Banning men
[00:04:16] for women's sports we have uh putting an
[00:04:18] end to K child castration in the
[00:04:21] hospitals defining sex as man and woman
[00:04:25] and I think that the legal stuff is
[00:04:27] really important but just the bully
[00:04:28] pulpit having a person in a position of
[00:04:30] authority who's willing to say the
[00:04:32] obvious thing which is that men are men
[00:04:34] and women are women which by the way is
[00:04:36] something is something that everyone has
[00:04:38] always known every single person in the
[00:04:40] world has always known that uh and and
[00:04:43] but for a period of time a lot of people
[00:04:46] were afraid to say what they knew to be
[00:04:48] true because well and thanks to Donald
[00:04:51] Trump thanks to a lot of people that
[00:04:52] that have been in the fight but what
[00:04:55] they needed was someone in a position of
[00:04:56] a power like like Donald Trump yeah to
[00:04:59] say this obvious true thing and so I
[00:05:01] think it's the beginning of the end of
[00:05:03] gender ideology in this
[00:05:06] country Andrew clav you have opinions
[00:05:09] Yeah by by far my favorite thing about
[00:05:11] the Trump Administration has been the
[00:05:13] absolute decimation and destruction of
[00:05:16] the mainstream media there I mean it it
[00:05:20] is it has been like that scene in Game
[00:05:22] of Thrones where the woman has to walk
[00:05:24] naked through the streets while people
[00:05:25] shout shame and throw rotten vegetables
[00:05:28] at it except has been better because
[00:05:30] it's been the mainstream media walking
[00:05:32] naked through the streets and they've
[00:05:34] just been reduced and I knew this the
[00:05:35] moment no wants to see that the the
[00:05:38] moment the results of the election came
[00:05:40] in this kind of blanket of Peace passed
[00:05:44] over me because I realized what had
[00:05:45] happened that we we'd beaten them it
[00:05:49] could yeah that was that may be death
[00:05:50] yeah but it couldn't have happened
[00:05:52] without trump it couldn't have happened
[00:05:53] without Trump but it couldn't happened
[00:05:55] without us too and all the Joe Rogan and
[00:05:57] all the podcasters and all the small
[00:06:00] media that grew up Suddenly and exposed
[00:06:02] them for what they were and the and the
[00:06:05] benefits the side benefits of this is it
[00:06:08] has put a little tiny bit of Steel in
[00:06:11] the Republican Party these guys you know
[00:06:14] this this place that we're in right now
[00:06:16] is surrounded by media like this glass
[00:06:19] this steel bubble I should call it and
[00:06:22] they think when the New York Times says
[00:06:23] something it's the people talking they
[00:06:26] think oh my gosh it's in the New York
[00:06:27] Times my career will be destroyed and
[00:06:29] now they realize it's in the New York
[00:06:31] Times a bird is going to crap on it and
[00:06:34] no one's going to remember what anybody
[00:06:36] said so far I've enjoyed this panel very
[00:06:39] much because we're living up to our sort
[00:06:41] of reputation at the daily wire uh your
[00:06:43] favorite thing about Trump is
[00:06:46] us and your favorite thing about Trump
[00:06:48] is your movie yeah and Michael's just
[00:06:51] here for the booze that's true and the
[00:06:53] cigars and the May flow delicious May
[00:06:55] Flower cigars Ben the best thing about
[00:06:56] the first 30 well so by far the best
[00:06:59] thing
[00:07:00] that has happened during the first 30
[00:07:01] days was that exchange that he had with
[00:07:03] the Afghan lady reporter oh which is one
[00:07:05] of the Great Moments in all of media
[00:07:07] history and if you if you haven't seen
[00:07:09] it folks you absolutely should Google it
[00:07:11] because it is legitimately one of the
[00:07:12] funniest things that has ever happened
[00:07:13] in the history of the media there's a a
[00:07:16] reporter from Afghanistan who asked
[00:07:17] president Trump a question in a very
[00:07:19] thick accent and he had no idea what she
[00:07:21] was saying he said your voice it's so
[00:07:23] beautiful so melodious I I don't
[00:07:26] understand a word you're saying God
[00:07:28] bless and live love live live in peace
[00:07:31] it's like wow he went like full Spock at
[00:07:32] the end like it was great so that that
[00:07:35] was great just as as a moment and there
[00:07:36] have been many such wonderful moments
[00:07:38] including that I don't care Margaret
[00:07:40] right from from the vice president and
[00:07:42] there there are bunch of Great memeable
[00:07:43] Moments and of course Elon is a walking
[00:07:45] name as you've seen um but in terms of
[00:07:48] actual policy I think the most important
[00:07:51] thing that President Trump has done is
[00:07:52] he's actually he has he has exposed the
[00:07:55] reality which is that the amount of
[00:07:57] power that has aggregated in the exec
[00:07:59] Branch over the course of time is
[00:08:02] extraordinary and it is at the beest of
[00:08:04] the president of the United States so
[00:08:05] for two reasons this is really important
[00:08:07] one because the Democratic party
[00:08:09] established over the course of the last
[00:08:11] 100 odd years really since woodro Wilson
[00:08:13] that the executive branch was going to
[00:08:15] be the predominant branch of American
[00:08:16] government and all power was going to be
[00:08:17] centralized in it spending power
[00:08:19] regulate regulatory power all of it and
[00:08:22] then they basically said and Republicans
[00:08:23] can't touch it when we run it we'll run
[00:08:25] it and we'll put permanent employees in
[00:08:26] place so that when you run it you don't
[00:08:28] run it and president Trump came in and
[00:08:30] he said no no no no you've given all
[00:08:32] this power to the executive branch guess
[00:08:34] what guess who's the president now it's
[00:08:36] me and long live the king and he
[00:08:39] literally put out an executive order
[00:08:40] saying like yesterday all of you people
[00:08:43] work for me and here's your reminder the
[00:08:45] executive branch is a branch of
[00:08:48] government there is no fourth branch of
[00:08:49] government that is an unelected
[00:08:50] bureaucracy and thus you work for my
[00:08:54] agenda and this is great for a couple of
[00:08:56] reasons one because it means that he's
[00:08:57] going to be actually able to clean out
[00:08:59] so much of the rod inside these
[00:09:01] institutions and that that's what doge
[00:09:02] is in large part but but second I think
[00:09:05] it sets up the predicate for if there is
[00:09:06] going to be a useful constitutional
[00:09:09] fight which I kind of like then let that
[00:09:11] fight be about the prerogatives of
[00:09:12] Congress let Congress try to actually go
[00:09:15] back to the original structure in a fair
[00:09:17] way because for too long Republicans
[00:09:18] have been playing by the Marcus of
[00:09:19] Queensbury rules on this stuff whereas I
[00:09:21] say the rules apply when Republicans are
[00:09:23] in power and then they stop applying the
[00:09:24] minute a Democrat as in power and
[00:09:25] president Trump as I said before he
[00:09:27] lives in reality and for president Trump
[00:09:29] there's no there's no set of rules where
[00:09:32] there are two sets of rules right there
[00:09:33] either there's either one set for
[00:09:34] everybody or there ain't no rules yeah
[00:09:36] and he says there's one set of rules for
[00:09:37] everybody I'm the president and now all
[00:09:39] you people work for me or you're fired
[00:09:40] which is just
[00:09:46] wonderful I have to say my favorite
[00:09:48] thing about the presidency so far is
[00:09:49] just the sheer chaotic disruption that
[00:09:52] Donald Trump represents he you know
[00:09:54] everything from saying you know that
[00:09:55] he's going to build Trump aan in the
[00:09:57] Middle East uh maraza maraza maraza yeah
[00:10:01] gazal Lago gazal Lago it's a work in
[00:10:05] progress I love it because what it says
[00:10:07] is the way you guys have been thinking
[00:10:08] about this for the entire lifetime of
[00:10:11] every person involved in in
[00:10:13] international politics is wrong and it's
[00:10:15] not even necessarily that I agree with
[00:10:16] every single one of Trump's disruptions
[00:10:19] it's that I agree with the idea of the
[00:10:20] disruption itself that Trump represents
[00:10:22] because only through disruption do you
[00:10:25] shake things up from the status quo and
[00:10:26] create the actual opportunity for change
[00:10:28] and I think I actually I think president
[00:10:29] Trump sort of understands this I think
[00:10:31] he wields it I think half of the things
[00:10:33] that Donald Trump says he doesn't
[00:10:35] exactly mean but what he understands is
[00:10:37] that in the act of saying it he he
[00:10:40] breaks everyone out of their comfort
[00:10:41] zone and creates the opportunity for
[00:10:42] actual meaningful change and that's
[00:10:45] that's an enormous skill it's something
[00:10:46] that he's been doing in his business
[00:10:48] life for all of living memory Donald
[00:10:51] Trump's very old not as old as Andrew
[00:10:52] Clay but he's not a young man and he's
[00:10:55] very successfully done this he keeps
[00:10:56] people from being able to get to
[00:10:57] complacency keeps people from believing
[00:10:59] that just because something has been the
[00:11:01] way means that it must continue to be
[00:11:03] the way and you see it particularly I
[00:11:05] think in places like Doge I think Elon
[00:11:07] Musk is the greatest living American I
[00:11:09] think that he is we should clap for Elon
[00:11:13] Musk he's probably still
[00:11:17] here he's he's probably still here and
[00:11:20] any one of us at any moment could be the
[00:11:21] recipient of one of his children so it's
[00:11:23] like a
[00:11:24] really it's a really important thing to
[00:11:26] say on elon's good side uh I think Elon
[00:11:30] is the greatest living American I think
[00:11:31] that Elon is one of the only people in
[00:11:33] the world actively trying to build a
[00:11:35] future I think that for too long the
[00:11:37] left has been the only ideological
[00:11:40] movement in the in the country who
[00:11:41] believes that there will be a future and
[00:11:43] the future that they believe in is one
[00:11:44] that does not include us and for too
[00:11:46] long people on the right have sort of
[00:11:48] given up on the idea of a future we've
[00:11:50] become a little bit blackpilled a little
[00:11:51] bit nihilistic uh a little bit
[00:11:53] conspiratorial and afraid that tomorrow
[00:11:55] must be worse than today and must which
[00:11:58] is worse than yesterday Elon doesn't
[00:11:59] subscribe to that at all he he not only
[00:12:01] believes that America's best days are
[00:12:03] ahead of it he's actively working to
[00:12:05] make that happen and that is what you
[00:12:07] want in the
[00:12:13] government we are going to take
[00:12:16] questions and I believe that the place
[00:12:18] where we're going to take questions is
[00:12:20] over in this they told me it's down
[00:12:21] there but I don't know where down there
[00:12:23] means we're going to spend a lot of our
[00:12:24] time interacting with you guys because
[00:12:25] you bought the tickets uh and we get to
[00:12:27] hear from each other you know all day
[00:12:29] every day uh I could have told you all
[00:12:32] of their answers I know what they wanted
[00:12:34] in the green room only green M&M's for
[00:12:36] Ben classic all the other M&M's for
[00:12:38] Michael he's not very
[00:12:40] discriminating we're going to take a lot
[00:12:41] of questions from you uh but first Ben
[00:12:44] Shapiro well folks let's talk about how
[00:12:47] you stay healthy okay because let's be

[00:13:05] 31 different fruits and veggies every

[00:13:08] torture it sounds like a year in jail
[00:13:10] with Nancy Pelosi well balance of nature
[00:13:12] takes fruits and veggies they freeze dry
[00:13:14] them they turn them into a powder and

[00:14:13] so one of the things that we like to do
[00:14:15] on Backstage is move Beyond just
[00:14:17] politics and talk about culture talk
[00:14:19] about uh religion talk about the things
[00:14:21] that make our life meaningful one of the
[00:14:23] things that's been on my mind a lot in
[00:14:24] this really triumphant moment the last
[00:14:26] 30 days Blake Lively and Justin Bon how
[00:14:28] did you know
[00:14:29] oh who are
[00:14:33] they one of the things that's really on
[00:14:34] my mind is that when you in these
[00:14:36] triumphant political moments it can seem
[00:14:38] suddenly like your life is going to be
[00:14:40] good because we're winning in the some
[00:14:43] in the very important but somewhat
[00:14:44] abstract realm of politics but the truth
[00:14:47] is your life may continue to be quite
[00:14:50] bad pick her up right here listen I'm
[00:14:52] every's in a good mood Jeremy's like and
[00:14:54] then you'll die and then you'll die and
[00:14:56] at the same time your life may have been
[00:14:57] very good these last four years years
[00:14:59] while Joe Biden was President even
[00:15:00] though things in our national politics
[00:15:02] were going quite poorly and so I think
[00:15:05] it's important in these moments to
[00:15:06] reflect on what are the actual things we
[00:15:08] can do in our own lives to ensure that
[00:15:10] we're living lives that are honoring to
[00:15:13] God uh productive for our family
[00:15:15] productive for our country it can't just
[00:15:17] be that we're watching news on
[00:15:19] television it can't even just be that
[00:15:21] we're actively engaged in politics and
[00:15:23] being uh somewhat
[00:15:24] activist how are we to live our lives in
[00:15:27] light of the moment in which we live you
[00:15:29] know there there's a big debate that's
[00:15:31] been on the right and it's become more
[00:15:32] emphasized in recent years and it's
[00:15:34] actually a very old debate between the
[00:15:36] classical understanding of freedom and
[00:15:38] the more modern understanding of freedom
[00:15:40] and the way that it's usually summarized
[00:15:42] is by Lord Acton who says that freedom
[00:15:44] is not the ability to do what we wish
[00:15:46] but the right to do what we ought and I
[00:15:49] certainly subscribe to that view of
[00:15:50] things but what that means is exactly
[00:15:52] what Jeremy was just saying which is
[00:15:54] that the ways in which our freedoms have
[00:15:57] been restricted in recent years by Joe
[00:15:59] Biden certainly and by many liberals is
[00:16:02] that he denied us the right to do what
[00:16:04] we ought to do he he said if you go to
[00:16:06] your church you're going to be spied on
[00:16:08] by the FBI he said that if you run a
[00:16:10] Catholic Hospital we're going to sue you
[00:16:12] even if you're nuns he he said if you go
[00:16:14] pray peacefully in front of a Planned
[00:16:16] Parenthood abortion Mill we're going to
[00:16:18] throw you in prison he was denying you
[00:16:20] the right to do what you ought to do you
[00:16:23] see this in the attacks on marriage the
[00:16:24] attacks on education the attacks on
[00:16:26] children we could be here all night
[00:16:28] listing these attacks on what we have a
[00:16:30] right to do now we have the right to do
[00:16:33] those things president Trump has passed
[00:16:34] a number of executive orders that have
[00:16:37] have really uh taken the government out
[00:16:39] of the business of oppressing Christians
[00:16:41] and families and kids and all the like
[00:16:44] but that means that now we have to go to
[00:16:46] church that means we have to form our
[00:16:49] families that means we have to educate
[00:16:51] our kids you know now we we do have the
[00:16:53] right to do those things we do have our
[00:16:55] freedom back but that freedom doesn't
[00:16:57] mean anything it's kind of like with
[00:16:58] free speech Free Speech doesn't mean
[00:17:00] anything if you don't have anything to
[00:17:02] say so you have to live out those
[00:17:03] substantive Goods in your
[00:17:05] [Music]
[00:17:09] life I hate it when people clap for you
[00:17:12] I really do true well I mean it is this
[00:17:16] kind of trick about being a conservative
[00:17:18] is that you believe that the government
[00:17:20] should stay out of your business so you
[00:17:21] can be free but now you're free what are
[00:17:24] you going to do right it all comes down
[00:17:26] to us it's really not about please do
[00:17:28] this please pass this program it's get
[00:17:30] rid of all that stuff so I can do the
[00:17:32] things that I want to do and one the
[00:17:36] thing about Donald Trump is Donald Trump
[00:17:38] you know movements happen almost
[00:17:40] organically they almost happen by
[00:17:41] themselves they're like waves that come
[00:17:43] in and you I work in the Arts my whole
[00:17:45] life and you see in the Arts there'll
[00:17:46] come a moment when there's a Picasso or
[00:17:49] a Marlon Brando somebody who changes the
[00:17:51] game but that game was already changing
[00:17:53] he just represents that change and
[00:17:55] that's true of Donald Trump without him
[00:17:57] it wouldn't have happened but at the
[00:17:59] same time he is at the head of a
[00:18:01] movement that's that's organically
[00:18:02] happening and that movement has a lot to
[00:18:04] do with our old friend Uncle God uh the
[00:18:08] the arguments that for hundreds of years
[00:18:11] have slowly slowly drained the faith out
[00:18:13] of the western out of Western culture
[00:18:15] have collapsed they've collapsed
[00:18:16] scientifically they've collapsed morally
[00:18:18] they've collapsed experientially and so
[00:18:21] God is now
[00:18:22] suddenly in in with the intellectual
[00:18:25] crowd as well he should be and and I
[00:18:28] think that this is the moment for us
[00:18:30] each of us not all of us but each of us
[00:18:32] to ask ourselves who is this God and
[00:18:35] what does he want from me because every
[00:18:38] single person not just in this room but
[00:18:40] on walking on the face of the planet
[00:18:42] knows he is not yet the person he was
[00:18:44] made to be and I think that that's
[00:18:46] something I I don't know I think about
[00:18:47] it every day I pray about it every day
[00:18:49] and I think that's something everybody
[00:18:51] should be doing because we're all here
[00:18:52] to create something maybe it's a family
[00:18:55] maybe it's just a way of looking at
[00:18:56] things maybe it's a business maybe it's
[00:18:58] you know works of art whatever it is we
[00:19:00] are all here to make stuff and you make
[00:19:02] stuff out of your heart and you make
[00:19:03] stuff out of who you are and working
[00:19:06] toward becoming who you are is something
[00:19:08] you can't do alone you got to do it with
[00:19:10] God and I think this is the moment for
[00:19:12] us to reconsider what that means to
[00:19:14] believe and what it means in our
[00:19:16] personal lives and then act it out and
[00:19:18] live it out I
[00:19:20] [Applause]
[00:19:23] also I also think about God every day
[00:19:25] and about how you're not yet the man
[00:19:27] that you are made to be yeah every day
[00:19:29] you pray every day and he calls me like
[00:19:31] at 3: in the morning it's like Matt what
[00:19:35] was the
[00:19:35] question Ben I mean first of all I'm
[00:19:38] having trouble getting over Drew calling
[00:19:40] God Uncle God I really am when years old
[00:19:43] is Drew wow we've been around a long
[00:19:46] time together a long time my goodness I
[00:19:48] never it's rare that you bring a new one
[00:19:49] on me but Uncle God was definitely a new
[00:19:51] one um so I I think that one of the
[00:19:54] great dangers that I that conservatives
[00:19:55] face right now is that so many of our
[00:19:58] institutions have been thoroughly
[00:19:59] corrupted by the left that the
[00:20:00] Temptation is to destroy all of them and
[00:20:02] you see this in government a huge number
[00:20:05] of institutions in government are
[00:20:06] completely broken need to be destroyed
[00:20:07] rebuilt from the ground up but my
[00:20:10] problem is that I see some
[00:20:11] people Andrew tape who are attempting to
[00:20:14] take social institutions and then
[00:20:16] destroy those social institutions as
[00:20:17] well pretend that they are meritless
[00:20:19] that because there have been bad things
[00:20:20] that have been done to those
[00:20:21] institutions now you throw out the baby
[00:20:23] with the bath water and those
[00:20:24] institutions are themselves meretricious
[00:20:26] and need to be destroyed and the sub
[00:20:28] morality that is offered is actually
[00:20:30] immorality it's actually sin and and
[00:20:33] that is a deeply disturbing and
[00:20:35] Disturbed point of view the thing that
[00:20:37] we all need to do I think and what I
[00:20:39] hope to do you know in my own life is
[00:20:41] not to make excuses okay this is the
[00:20:43] biggest thing and this to me is the
[00:20:44] essence of conservatism stop making
[00:20:46] excuses for your own failure it is one
[00:20:49] thing to point to an actual wrong that
[00:20:51] is being done in the world and say that
[00:20:53] this wrong needs to be corrected because
[00:20:54] the world is filled with wrongs and it's
[00:20:56] filled with injustices and it's filled
[00:20:57] with bad things that do need correction
[00:20:59] it is another thing to look at your own
[00:21:01] failure and then not say what can I fix
[00:21:04] but instead look out there at you know
[00:21:06] the institution I can't find a girl thus
[00:21:08] the institution of marriage is broken
[00:21:09] and thus I should treat women like trash
[00:21:12] okay that that is a terrible way to go
[00:21:13] about your life the answer to finding a
[00:21:16] good woman is to be a good man right the
[00:21:18] answer to having a good marriage is to
[00:21:21] find a good woman and engage in a good
[00:21:22] marriage the answer
[00:21:25] to be finding yourself a better church
[00:21:27] is to find yourself a better Church if
[00:21:28] you don't actually like the church that
[00:21:29] you're going to if it's been taken over
[00:21:31] by wokes then the answer is not well I
[00:21:33] guess we're done with the church the
[00:21:34] church is stupid we're not doing it
[00:21:35] anymore the answer is to either form
[00:21:37] your own or to find a more traditional
[00:21:39] instituted church that is not doing
[00:21:41] those stupid things and I think one of
[00:21:43] the great Temptations of politics is to
[00:21:44] assume that politics can solve
[00:21:46] everything you got problems in your life
[00:21:48] economic spiritual marital and and
[00:21:50] politics is going to solve all of those
[00:21:52] problems if only you can go after
[00:21:53] somebody out there and blame those
[00:21:55] people well then that gives you the
[00:21:56] license to do really whatever you want
[00:21:58] and and then the failures that spring
[00:21:59] there from are not your own fault and
[00:22:01] that to me is a sin it's a sin against
[00:22:03] yourself it's a sin against your Society
[00:22:04] it's a sin against the God who created
[00:22:05] you gave you free will the ability to
[00:22:07] choose and the skills with which to do
[00:22:09] something productive in the world yeah
[00:22:14] it's I was in a dialogue with someone
[00:22:16] online once who was talking about how
[00:22:18] because divorce laws uh are punitive
[00:22:22] toward men which is undeniably true um
[00:22:24] that marriage itself should be
[00:22:26] eradicated and this person kept saying
[00:22:28] over and over my wife left me and she
[00:22:32] destroyed my relationship with my
[00:22:34] children she took the house she got half
[00:22:36] of my money I didn't want a divorce she
[00:22:38] chose to get this divorce and he had
[00:22:40] tons of followers he's creating tons of
[00:22:42] energy around this argument and I said
[00:22:44] listen there's no question divorce laws
[00:22:46] are punitive toward men they need to be
[00:22:47] changed all the incentives around
[00:22:49] marriage have become um deeply inverted
[00:22:52] to to the detriment of our society these
[00:22:54] are real policy issues that need to be
[00:22:56] addressed so but I I do think that
[00:22:58] you're throwing the baby out with the
[00:22:59] bath water I mean I'm sorry that this
[00:23:00] happened to you that your wife left you
[00:23:01] for no reason they said well I mean she
[00:23:03] had a reason I cheated on
[00:23:06] her and I said oh well there you go uh
[00:23:09] me thinks the policy that you are
[00:23:11] actually uh against is the policy of you
[00:23:15] you're the policy of consequence of just
[00:23:17] consequence that doesn't Ten
[00:23:18] Commandments that's the policy that he
[00:23:19] opposed yeah God's Go uncle God's
[00:23:21] policies but it is nevertheless the case
[00:23:24] that most of what your life will be is
[00:23:26] what you make of it there will be parts
[00:23:28] of life that are impacted by outside
[00:23:30] forces absolutely and the beauty of
[00:23:32] politics is that we have the opportunity
[00:23:34] especially in a country like this one to
[00:23:35] do something about those policies that
[00:23:37] impede our ability to live our lives but
[00:23:39] you know I was backstage talking to Mike
[00:23:41] Row he mentioned there are 8 million
[00:23:44] open jobs in this country right now
[00:23:46] there are 7 million working AG men who
[00:23:49] aren't just unemployed they have removed
[00:23:52] themselves from the workforce they do
[00:23:54] they are not looking for a job they
[00:23:55] don't want a job they feel dis
[00:23:58] franchised because they have been
[00:23:59] disenfranchised but they are also
[00:24:01] participating in their own
[00:24:03] disenfranchisement and one of the one of
[00:24:05] the things I've learned in life one of
[00:24:06] the things I've learned in business you
[00:24:08] know sometimes people who succeeded in
[00:24:09] business will tell you business is about
[00:24:11] fail fail fail until you make it and
[00:24:13] that's not true success in business is
[00:24:17] about fail fail fail fail fail and with
[00:24:20] a little luck you made it along the way
[00:24:23] it's it's much more it's less like
[00:24:25] getting to a destination and much more
[00:24:27] like being a batter in the major leagues
[00:24:29] if you if you get a a
[00:24:32] hit three out of 10 times in the major
[00:24:35] leagues you will be in the Hall of Fame
[00:24:38] there will be statues of you in your
[00:24:39] hometown you you did not get a hit 70%
[00:24:43] of the time and it's not as though once
[00:24:45] you did get a hit you only hit from
[00:24:47] there on out no it's that you you missed
[00:24:49] you missed you got a hit you missed you
[00:24:50] missed you missed you got a hit you
[00:24:52] missed you got a hit you got walked most
[00:24:54] of the times when you got the hit you
[00:24:56] still didn't score you got thrown out at
[00:24:59] second or the batter right behind you
[00:25:02] was uh the third out and you basically
[00:25:04] got your hit and got on base for no
[00:25:06] reason whatsoever sometimes you score
[00:25:08] and you didn't earn it sometimes you pop
[00:25:11] it up but the infield fly rule goes into
[00:25:13] effect and no one even knows what's
[00:25:15] happening in the game anymore I lost the
[00:25:17] analogy but I'm sure there was I'm with
[00:25:20] you all that matters is that you get
[00:25:22] back up and keep batting that's the only
[00:25:24] difference between it's not the only
[00:25:25] difference but it's the fundamental
[00:25:26] difference between people who make it in
[00:25:29] baseball and people who do not make it
[00:25:31] in baseball and it is true in business
[00:25:32] and it is true in your marriage it's
[00:25:34] true as a parent it's true in almost
[00:25:35] every aspect of your life it's your
[00:25:38] ability to take life as it is not as you
[00:25:41] wish it would be to take the hard parts
[00:25:43] of life and to keep getting back up and
[00:25:45] to keep uh doing your job well speaking
[00:25:47] of the hard parts of life taxes folks so
[00:25:50] am I right taxes suck right they're bad
[00:25:52] that's why president Trump just fired
[00:25:54] everybody at the IRS he actually did he
[00:25:56] just fired like thousands of people at
[00:25:57] the IRS well
[00:25:58] unfortunately you don't have a choice
[00:26:00] I'm sorry to tell you this April 15th
[00:26:01] tax date is just around the corner and
[00:26:03] don't think that just because Trump and
[00:26:05] Elon are going through and basically
[00:26:06] making all these people unemployed that
[00:26:08] you're not going to have to pay your
[00:26:09] taxes you eventually will but you don't
[00:26:11] have to worry about your tax issues with
[00:26:13] tax Network USA did you see where I was
[00:26:16] going with that folks did I project it
[00:26:18] and in any case tax Network USA has a
[00:26:20] preferred direct line to the IRS meaning

[00:26:30] million tax Network USA's attorneys and
[00:26:32] negotiators have already resolved over

[00:26:36] with their strategists today it is free
[00:26:38] you don't need the threatening letters
[00:26:39] you don't need to look over your
[00:26:40] shoulder you can protect yourself from
[00:26:42] property seizures and Bank levies as
[00:26:43] well do not let the IRS control your
[00:26:46] future and don't count on the IRS agent
[00:26:48] who's in charge of your case suddenly
[00:26:49] losing their job maybe it'll happen you

[00:28:09] think it's 21 now yeah um but my
[00:28:12] question is as a young conservative who
[00:28:14] wants to focus on a new business and an
[00:28:16] entrepreneurial Spirit how should I go
[00:28:18] about integrating My Views into my
[00:28:21] business well I think it depends on on
[00:28:23] the kind of business that that you're
[00:28:24] founding so I mean there are certain
[00:28:26] things that are just Baseline
[00:28:26] conservative like be honest in business
[00:28:28] and don't try to cheat people right um
[00:28:31] in in my faith the Jewish faith you may
[00:28:33] have noticed um it says that the the
[00:28:36] first thing that God is going to ask you
[00:28:37] after you die is were you honest in your
[00:28:39] business dealings is one of the things
[00:28:41] that Judaism teaches as you know we like
[00:28:42] the money in any case when when it when
[00:28:46] when it comes to actually forming a
[00:28:47] business uh you know the hard part of
[00:28:49] business and Jeremy can talk about this
[00:28:51] more than I can since he does a lot of
[00:28:52] the hiring and firing is is actually
[00:28:54] being coldblooded enough to look at
[00:28:56] what's working and what's not you're not
[00:28:57] doing anybody any kindnesses by keeping
[00:28:59] people in the wrong position for too
[00:29:01] long that's the hardest part I think of
[00:29:03] of of doing business is the difficulty
[00:29:05] in extricating yourself emotionally from
[00:29:06] the business to do the efficient thing
[00:29:08] but it is important that in order for
[00:29:11] your business to be a success in order
[00:29:12] to be able to employ other people and
[00:29:13] provide goods and services at a at a
[00:29:14] market rate that you actually make those
[00:29:16] hard decisions and again I think that
[00:29:18] that requires a certain level of
[00:29:20] emotional remove and you have to
[00:29:22] understand that you're actually again
[00:29:23] not doing anybody any favors by keeping
[00:29:25] them in a position where they ought not
[00:29:27] be and that does I I think also include
[00:29:30] the reality that you have to I think
[00:29:32] take the blame on yourself if you hired
[00:29:34] the wrong person right usually if an
[00:29:36] employee fails if somebody does
[00:29:37] something wrong in your company it's
[00:29:38] probably because you put the wrong
[00:29:40] person in the wrong position to succeed
[00:29:41] right that's that's sort of your job as
[00:29:42] a company is to put people in the right
[00:29:43] position to succeed and so that that
[00:29:45] that I think is the hardest part could I
[00:29:47] also say one thing that you're
[00:29:48] integrating your values into the
[00:29:50] business and I don't know what what your
[00:29:51] business is uh maybe you said it I
[00:29:54] haven't been paying attention to the
[00:29:55] question
[00:29:56] today uh but so integrate them as in
[00:30:00] like Ben said you're living according to
[00:30:01] your values what I think you you don't
[00:30:04] need to do and probably shouldn't do is
[00:30:06] say well this is my business and I'm the
[00:30:08] this is the conservative version of this
[00:30:10] business we're the conservative fill in
[00:30:12] the blank you don't need to be that just
[00:30:14] just do the business and do it well and
[00:30:16] if you're living according to your
[00:30:17] values then you're already you know the
[00:30:20] conservative version of that business
[00:30:22] sounds good thank you guys thank
[00:30:26] you hey my name is Christy Clark and I'm
[00:30:29] actually asking this question for my
[00:30:31] 14-year-old daughter who's at home
[00:30:33] watching right now and absolutely loves
[00:30:35] y'all she watches you all the time I
[00:30:37] have to turn her TV off at night Matt
[00:30:40] super uncomfortable movie absolutely
[00:30:42] loved it I don't know how you sat there
[00:30:44] and and did that but that was amazing
[00:30:47] it's it's because I'm a as Jeremy's
[00:30:49] pointed out it's because I'm a sociopath
[00:30:51] it it was that's how that's that's my
[00:30:53] secret but my question for my daughter
[00:30:55] Belle is she wants to be just like you
[00:30:57] she's 14
[00:30:58] she's charging that way of doing this
[00:31:01] type of thing absolutely wants to do
[00:31:03] this in life and how does she gets
[00:31:06] started even at 14 in the world that we
[00:31:09] live in where she is prot Trump pro-
[00:31:13] Republican what is she do at this age to
[00:31:15] be you one day and take over daily wire
[00:31:20] Ben uh eventually we'll be for sale so
[00:31:22] she can but but um I think that you know
[00:31:25] I started writing a syndicated col when
[00:31:26] I was 17 so actually not that much older
[00:31:28] than than your daughter is now uh and
[00:31:30] the the key I think this is true by the
[00:31:32] way in virtually all businesses but it's
[00:31:33] certainly true when it comes to
[00:31:34] political commentary uh is you have to
[00:31:37] read an awful lot learn a lot an awful
[00:31:39] lot about the business and do a lot of
[00:31:40] work for free there's no such thing as a
[00:31:43] person who success in literally any
[00:31:44] business who was not a failure for a
[00:31:47] very long time before they were a
[00:31:48] success right everyone who's in
[00:31:50] overnight success was in overnight
[00:31:51] success 10 years in the making and so I
[00:31:53] started writing a syndicated column
[00:31:54] making no money off of this for probably
[00:31:56] a decade before I had the famous Piers
[00:31:58] Morgan interview that was like fully a
[00:32:00] decade after I started doing what I was
[00:32:02] doing and that takes an awful lot of
[00:32:03] reading and writing and then the other
[00:32:04] thing that I would say is that she
[00:32:06] should attempt and I think everybody
[00:32:08] should attempt to find a niche where you
[00:32:10] are a specialist in the thing and that
[00:32:12] can be an information Niche either you
[00:32:13] can know a lot about a particular topic
[00:32:15] or you can be willing to report on a
[00:32:16] particular topic and if you have a
[00:32:18] monopoly on that topic that makes you a
[00:32:20] marketable commodity right everybody's
[00:32:21] got an opinion on politics everybody in
[00:32:22] the room could be a political columnist
[00:32:24] I'm sure but there's a difference
[00:32:26] between that and being a person who does
[00:32:29] the research and does the hard work that
[00:32:30] nobody else wants to do and my one of my
[00:32:32] mentors Andrew Breitbart used to say
[00:32:33] that if you have a cell phone with a
[00:32:35] camera you're now a reporter and that's
[00:32:37] one way that I encourage young people to
[00:32:38] get started is you're in your town there
[00:32:41] are stories all around you of things
[00:32:42] that that probably require change you
[00:32:44] know get those stories hook up with an
[00:32:46] Outlook like ours we'll report it and
[00:32:47] we'll make that a thing and that's a
[00:32:49] great way to get started in this
[00:32:50] particular business you one of the one
[00:32:52] of the great advantages if you want to
[00:32:53] be successful in media is that and we're
[00:32:55] Testament to this it requires no talent
[00:32:58] to do media at all so if your daughter
[00:33:00] has talent she's already a step ahead of
[00:33:03] like 95% disadvantage though if she has
[00:33:06] talent that you know uh to your point
[00:33:08] Ben on reading one thing I would say
[00:33:10] especially if your daughter's 14 which
[00:33:12] is great love that I was a a political
[00:33:15] junkie from the age of at least six I
[00:33:18] was I was like campaigning for Bob Dole
[00:33:20] in my first grade classroom all right I
[00:33:22] was more excited about Bob Dole than Bob
[00:33:23] Dole was but so I'm all about it however
[00:33:27] now it's very easy to become famous or
[00:33:30] inFAMOUS at a young age because of
[00:33:32] social media and cameras uh and she
[00:33:34] should resist that urge because you have
[00:33:37] to read like anything because no one
[00:33:39] reads anything anymore so if you read
[00:33:41] one book you will know much more than
[00:33:43] most people however if you want to have
[00:33:45] a view of politics that is solid that is
[00:33:48] stable that will deepen over time of
[00:33:50] course but that is grounded in something
[00:33:52] you you have to read like a billion
[00:33:54] books and it's just not possible to do
[00:33:56] that at age 14 so so I would I would
[00:33:58] recommend figuring out what she thinks
[00:34:00] get the book learning get a little
[00:34:02] practical learning I think working on a
[00:34:03] Congressional Campaign is the best
[00:34:05] political education out there I I worked
[00:34:07] on campaigns as a teenager and in my 20s
[00:34:09] it taught me a lot that you can't learn
[00:34:11] in books and then when she's ready you
[00:34:14] know I don't know 16 17 maybe a little
[00:34:16] later maybe 28 29 then she can make a
[00:34:18] big splash and she'll be ready to go and
[00:34:20] she'll have something that distinguishes
[00:34:21] her from everybody
[00:34:25] else hi my name is Blake markson
[00:34:28] I'm a subscriber and um my question here
[00:34:32] I'm a college student and I'm just um
[00:34:34] I've been throughout my education I've
[00:34:36] like questioned Dei and a lot of subject
[00:34:39] subjective business measures so what I'm
[00:34:42] uh wondering is how you guys would
[00:34:44] challenge these viewpoints and kind of
[00:34:46] move throughout like my educational
[00:34:48] process because I'm a sophomore right
[00:34:50] now and not really liking everything
[00:34:51] that I'm doing right now yeah one thing
[00:34:54] I would say is
[00:34:55] that it can be really easy to be tempted
[00:34:58] toward uh some sort of absolute answer
[00:35:00] on a question like this you know some
[00:35:02] people will tell you just keep your head
[00:35:04] down get your degree you're paying to be
[00:35:06] there the most important thing is not to
[00:35:08] rock the boat you need something from
[00:35:09] them in exchange for your money and your
[00:35:11] time go get it that's the only reason
[00:35:12] you're there other people will say you
[00:35:14] should just be fighting all the way
[00:35:15] defending your rights campuses are are
[00:35:17] Ground Zero for all the worst things
[00:35:19] that are happening in our culture be in
[00:35:20] activist but the truth is you actually
[00:35:22] have to live your life and none of the
[00:35:24] people giving you advice on this topic
[00:35:25] do and only you know what you actually
[00:35:28] want to get out of this experience in
[00:35:30] college only you know what kind of
[00:35:31] career you want to build in your life on
[00:35:33] the other side uh of your time and
[00:35:35] college some of them much more dependent
[00:35:37] on getting that degree than uh than
[00:35:39] perhaps others are I think the best
[00:35:41] thing you can do in this regard is live
[00:35:42] according to your lights the one thing
[00:35:43] I'll say you should not do is live your
[00:35:46] life out of fear if you find yourself
[00:35:48] living your life out of fear you
[00:35:50] actually can't make the cynical
[00:35:51] calculation of I will live my life out
[00:35:53] of fear but on the other side of it I'll
[00:35:56] be very very successful that's a to deal
[00:35:57] with the devil that you can just never
[00:35:59] walk back but that doesn't mean that you
[00:36:01] always have to be in the fight it
[00:36:02] doesn't mean that you have to be
[00:36:03] Reckless uh in every situation I will
[00:36:06] say in my own life I've made the choice
[00:36:08] from a young age probably before I could
[00:36:10] make it consciously that I was just
[00:36:12] going to say what I believed in every
[00:36:13] situation and come what may and you know
[00:36:16] I I'd like to say that it's worked out
[00:36:18] well for me I've gone through a lot of
[00:36:20] real difficulties uh because of that uh
[00:36:23] decision I don't necessarily think that
[00:36:25] that is the most virtuous decision I
[00:36:27] think it's the most Gen X decision but I
[00:36:29] don't know that it's the most virtuous
[00:36:30] decision uh although it can it can
[00:36:33] contain virtue sometimes though it can
[00:36:35] contain huus and recklessness and and
[00:36:38] all sorts of other things so I think
[00:36:40] that rather than looking for like an
[00:36:41] absolute answer to the question the very
[00:36:43] best thing that you can do is actually
[00:36:45] know yourself know what you're trying to
[00:36:47] accomplish know what fights are worth
[00:36:49] your time to be in and go fight those
[00:36:52] fights and if it happen if you're like
[00:36:54] me it'll be all of them and you'll never
[00:36:55] get a college degree and you won't make
[00:36:56] any money until 30 and that's fine and
[00:36:59] if you're uh like Ben you know you'll be
[00:37:01] writing a a a syndicated column at 17
[00:37:03] and now be Ben Shapiro you know I I
[00:37:06] would like to add just one more thing
[00:37:08] don't lie you don't have to get into
[00:37:10] every fight you don't always have to
[00:37:11] speak up if it's not important if it's
[00:37:14] not that big a deal but don't let them
[00:37:15] make you lie because some of them will
[00:37:17] hunt you down until you have to until
[00:37:19] you either have to lie or tell the truth
[00:37:21] oh I totally disagree with this you
[00:37:22] totally lie no wait wait let me let me
[00:37:25] finish before you whatever he said says
[00:37:27] because he doesn't know what he's
[00:37:28] talking about every lie Every Lie takes
[00:37:31] something out of your soul every single
[00:37:33] one and the bigger lie the bigger the
[00:37:35] piece of your soul it takes isn't worth
[00:37:37] it not for a minute he he's very old you
[00:37:39] should totally lie so the way that this
[00:37:40] works is that when I was at UCLA okay
[00:37:42] you speak up in class and then they had
[00:37:44] these things called blue books the blue
[00:37:45] books were the anonymous tests that you
[00:37:46] took you would write by hand in those
[00:37:48] days and you I know it's a long time ago
[00:37:50] and you would write a a student number
[00:37:52] not an actual name on your blue book and
[00:37:53] then you write like a Comm and you get
[00:37:55] the a obviously because what difference
[00:37:57] does make what you WR inside the blue
[00:37:58] book so that's where you lie look at
[00:37:59] look in his eyes do you want to be like
[00:38:01] that no look at my wallet do you want to
[00:38:03] be like
[00:38:05] that Li live according to your
[00:38:07] lights thank
[00:38:10] you hi gang my name is Yehuda and it's
[00:38:12] so special to be here with you I'm also
[00:38:14] a daily wire plus subscriber and I must
[00:38:17] say Michael I disagree with you and I
[00:38:18] agree with Matt kids should be at
[00:38:21] weddings listen I'm not saying you said
[00:38:24] they shouldn't be I said I didn't say
[00:38:26] they should never be at wedding but
[00:38:28] sometimes you throw on The Tuxedo you
[00:38:31] have a few coca-colas it's a late night
[00:38:34] wedding and I don't want the little four
[00:38:36] children that's why marriage exists in
[00:38:38] like Pakistan not in America children
[00:38:40] there a total Li over here that's a live
[00:38:43] position look at what you started look
[00:38:44] at this on a more serious note on a more
[00:38:47] serious note over the years has been
[00:38:48] become increasingly clear that the
[00:38:50] mainstream media is acting as an arm of
[00:38:52] the democratic party and of as uh
[00:38:55] anti-American factions although I repeat
[00:38:57] myself this has come to a crescendo
[00:39:00] during the last few election Cycles as
[00:39:01] well as during the co pandemic something
[00:39:03] I witnessed personally as a medical
[00:39:05] doctor the most recent attempt to equate
[00:39:08] equate free speech to nazier Fascism
[00:39:10] sets a new egregious level it would it
[00:39:13] would not be hard to trace these media
[00:39:15] trends to foreign groups aggressively
[00:39:17] using our media to undermine and
[00:39:19] sabotage the United States with some
[00:39:21] investigation we can easily find which
[00:39:23] parties are complicit in these efforts
[00:39:25] my question is should we conduct such an
[00:39:27] investigation and furthermore if we do
[00:39:30] what actions should we take based on the
[00:39:32] data we
[00:39:33] find well I mean it depends if you're
[00:39:35] talking about foreign actors who are
[00:39:37] actually American Media so yes I think
[00:39:39] there should absolutely be Congressional
[00:39:41] investigations presumably the house
[00:39:42] Foreign Affairs committee looking into
[00:39:45] funding of various Enterprises and the
[00:39:47] propaganda that emerges from those
[00:39:48] Enterprises if you're talking about the
[00:39:50] Democratic party working in cahoots with
[00:39:52] the with the with the Legacy Media I'm
[00:39:53] not sure that you need an investigation
[00:39:55] with that I think you just need retinas
[00:39:57] and prefrontal cortex I mean like basic
[00:40:00] logic suggests that the human centipede
[00:40:02] that is the relationship between the
[00:40:03] Democratic party and the media is an
[00:40:05] ongoing bleep show so yeah I don't think
[00:40:08] that requires an investigation and I
[00:40:09] don't think it's a big Scandal I think
[00:40:10] that the truth is that the Legacy Media
[00:40:11] and this is something drew said earlier
[00:40:13] so Drew this is where you're right
[00:40:14] you're wrong before but now you're right
[00:40:15] uh the the the what Drew said earlier is
[00:40:17] right the Legacy Media has absolutely
[00:40:18] destroyed itself what this last election
[00:40:20] cycle did was exposed the Legacy Media
[00:40:22] beyond all repair and and that was
[00:40:24] really exposed not even by Co which was
[00:40:26] truly terrible or BLM which was also
[00:40:27] truly terrible but by Joe Biden dying on
[00:40:29] stage when Joe Biden died on stage in
[00:40:31] that moment the Legacy Media was
[00:40:33] destroyed for all time and I don't think
[00:40:35] that they're ever going to be able to
[00:40:36] recover it you can see it in the numbers
[00:40:38] people people do not trust the Legacy
[00:40:40] Media it's it's irrecoverable uh The
[00:40:42] Washington Post is never going to have a
[00:40:44] majority of Americans that believe it's
[00:40:45] trustworthy again so I'm less worried
[00:40:47] than I've ever been about the power of
[00:40:49] the Legacy Media and I've spent most of
[00:40:50] my life worrying about the Legacy Media
[00:40:52] you know Ben you said something there

[00:42:12] that I'm so bad at doing ad reads
[00:42:13] because I don't have to do this uh ad
[00:42:16] read on stage at CAC but spoiler
[00:42:21] alert hi my name is John hinu Mr no's
[00:42:25] reference maybe for
[00:42:27] I was one of the Washington prol lifers
[00:42:31] who was sentenced to 21 months in jail
[00:42:34] and we thank president Trump for
[00:42:36] pardoning us so that we're
[00:42:39] free
[00:42:46] here what I what I wanted to try to get
[00:42:49] a sense of is well what I'm feeling a
[00:42:52] sense of is there's really an
[00:42:54] opportunity for the United States of
[00:42:56] America
[00:42:57] to have a full discussion about the
[00:43:01] horror of
[00:43:02] abortion we started to have it in the
[00:43:05] 70s I'm an old man I remember it but a
[00:43:08] lot of people here don't there started a
[00:43:11] discussion and then roie Wade happened
[00:43:14] and aside from all the lives that were
[00:43:16] lost and all the women that were
[00:43:18] destroyed there was also the complete
[00:43:21] cutting off of discussion about abortion
[00:43:25] and the media has kept it that way our
[00:43:28] courts we've never been able even in the
[00:43:31] dobs decision the developing child
[00:43:35] before birth is only briefly
[00:43:38] referenced uh in all the other court
[00:43:40] cases it's about some specific legal uh
[00:43:44] angle to the issue the heart of the
[00:43:47] issue which is a developing child before
[00:43:50] birth and this I sense is the time this
[00:43:53] is the time for this country to take up
[00:43:56] that discussion and even when I'm in
[00:44:01] disagreement with President Trump as I
[00:44:03] am on the
[00:44:04] IVF uh it is an opportunity for
[00:44:07] discussion and so I even thank him for
[00:44:10] that so I wanted to get some of your
[00:44:12] feedback on that yeah I look I I think I
[00:44:15] totally agree with everything that you
[00:44:16] said and it's it's easy to forget that
[00:44:19] just a you know even several months ago
[00:44:21] certainly in the last couple of years we
[00:44:23] were told even by conservatives that our
[00:44:26] Victor you know the great victory of
[00:44:28] repealing roie Wade one of the one of
[00:44:30] the great human rights victories of all
[00:44:32] time was actually a Bad Thing
[00:44:34] politically because we were going to pay
[00:44:35] for it we're going to pay the price with
[00:44:37] some great backlash in the polls and the
[00:44:39] women of America would would rise up to
[00:44:41] punish us for protecting babies from
[00:44:43] Slaughter and that didn't happen and the
[00:44:45] reason that it didn't happen is because
[00:44:47] it turns out as many of us as we have
[00:44:49] all been saying people like you have
[00:44:51] been saying the pro-life argument is a
[00:44:53] winning argument it is a winning
[00:44:55] argument and as long as you're just
[00:44:58] honest the only way to win the argument
[00:45:00] and when you're when you're uh pro-life
[00:45:02] is to be brutally honest and to show
[00:45:05] it's it's one thing you know if we are
[00:45:06] claiming that there is a genocide of
[00:45:09] children happening that million 60
[00:45:11] million human beings have been
[00:45:13] slaughtered by abortion if that's what
[00:45:15] we claim which is what we claim because
[00:45:16] it's true then there there should be
[00:45:19] passion and even anger behind our words
[00:45:22] and if there isn't then why would anyone
[00:45:24] take us seriously because it's like we
[00:45:25] don't even believe what we're saying so
[00:45:28] we we are not the ones the the
[00:45:29] pro-abortion side they're the ones who
[00:45:32] have to cover everything they say in
[00:45:33] euphemisms they have to be very careful
[00:45:35] about every word they choose and the
[00:45:37] euphemisms constantly change because
[00:45:39] because they can't talk simply and
[00:45:42] clearly about what the thing is and we
[00:45:44] win the argument uh simply by being
[00:45:47] clear about it because the pro-life
[00:45:48] argument is is as I said it's the most
[00:45:50] winning argument of all time the Prive
[00:45:52] argument is simply this that it is
[00:45:54] always wrong to intentionally kill
[00:45:57] innocent human children that's it and I
[00:46:02] defy any pro-abortion person any
[00:46:05] so-called pro-choice person to engage
[00:46:08] with that are you saying that there are
[00:46:10] times when it is actually okay to
[00:46:12] intentionally kill an innocent human
[00:46:14] child and that's what they don't want to
[00:46:15] engage with and as long as we're honest
[00:46:17] about it then we win the argument and
[00:46:18] this is and this is everything now what
[00:46:20] you're talking about is everything
[00:46:21] having the argument openly because the
[00:46:24] law is not going to stop it it's not
[00:46:26] going to be able ble to stop it with the
[00:46:27] Technologies with the medications it'll
[00:46:29] still be going on unless people see
[00:46:32] unless they open their eyes and see what
[00:46:33] they're doing it's the only way there
[00:46:35] are always going to be murderers there
[00:46:36] are always going to be people who kill
[00:46:38] people but at least we can make it
[00:46:41] apparent to people that if you're a good
[00:46:42] person you don't do it and that and
[00:46:44] that's an argument we can win and we
[00:46:46] have to win we have to win it
[00:46:52] now hi my name is Aaron I'm a college
[00:46:55] student uh college is woke now so what
[00:46:58] would you say to me as trying to
[00:47:01] represent who I am just like you guys do
[00:47:03] every day I I couldn't quite hear that I
[00:47:06] couldn't hear word you
[00:47:08] said you have a beautiful mous voice I
[00:47:11] meant College's voke and I want to
[00:47:14] pursue what I love just like you guys do
[00:47:17] what do you do when you have that
[00:47:18] thought in your head it's like pause I
[00:47:22] need to keep doing what I love to do
[00:47:24] well I think that it uh I'm very
[00:47:26] famously College um I think that most
[00:47:29] people should not go to college uh thank
[00:47:32] you I think that um you know if you want
[00:47:35] to be a heart surgeon I think there's a
[00:47:36] strong case that you should go to
[00:47:39] college uh but I think most people who
[00:47:42] are getting um you know Bachelors of
[00:47:45] Fine Arts should not be getting them and
[00:47:47] you might say that in a better world
[00:47:49] than this um uh those degrees are useful
[00:47:54] to society back when we t T things like
[00:47:57] the Western Cannon back when we taught
[00:47:59] things like philosophy perhaps a liberal
[00:48:01] arts degree actually did prepare you
[00:48:04] know people who aren't going to go into
[00:48:06] very specialized Fields nevertheless
[00:48:08] those degrees and that experience could
[00:48:09] prepare them uh for their life as
[00:48:11] productive citizens we don't live in
[00:48:12] that world anymore you're not going to
[00:48:14] study the Western Canon if you go to
[00:48:16] college and so unless you're going to do
[00:48:17] something very particular I would go get
[00:48:19] a job instead the thing that you have to
[00:48:20] do in this life God said uh you know
[00:48:22] everybody likes to focus on that on the
[00:48:24] seventh day you will rest but the part
[00:48:25] that he said right before that that was
[00:48:27] 6 days you will toil go to
[00:48:30] work you know I I see your point Jeremy
[00:48:33] which is that for 99% of colleges and in
[00:48:36] 99% of classes maybe even within
[00:48:38] colleges uh you're not going to be able
[00:48:40] to get that great education I disagree
[00:48:43] with my fellow conservatives who they
[00:48:45] sometimes say only go to college if
[00:48:46] you're going to study engineering or if
[00:48:48] you're going to study business or
[00:48:49] something I think that's the exact
[00:48:50] opposite reason to go to college you
[00:48:52] should just get a job or an
[00:48:54] apprenticeship or go to trade school to
[00:48:56] learn a job that's great that's awesome
[00:48:58] is a totally a place for that uh if you
[00:49:00] want to get a university education the
[00:49:02] point of it is not instrumental or
[00:49:04] utilitarian it's not just to make some
[00:49:06] money or something like that the point
[00:49:08] is to get at the truth and the way you
[00:49:10] do that is to immerse yourself in
[00:49:12] philosophy and in literature and history
[00:49:14] you can still do that at some
[00:49:16] universities there are good ones I mean
[00:49:18] there's Hillsdale a Maria Franciscan you
[00:49:21] know there are a handful you can name
[00:49:22] even at the big brand name schools there
[00:49:24] are at least a few professors left and
[00:49:27] then my final point on this if you find
[00:49:29] yourself at a woke college that doesn't
[00:49:30] have great classes and at the very least
[00:49:34] you can you can understand that every
[00:49:36] man is my teacher and I can learn
[00:49:37] something from him one of the greatest
[00:49:39] Advantage not for $250,000 freaking
[00:49:41] dollars books are free that's listen you
[00:49:43] but teachers are you really do need
[00:49:45] teachers and mentors and things I agree
[00:49:47] quarter million bucks you know F
[00:49:49] scholarships and things like that but
[00:49:50] all of that to say if you're at the woke
[00:49:53] College you're making a financially
[00:49:55] reasonable decision you you can benefit
[00:49:58] greatly from being around people who are
[00:50:01] radically leftist because you can
[00:50:03] understand their arguments much much
[00:50:05] better than they understand your
[00:50:06] arguments it will give you an advantage
[00:50:09] that is how we win back culture it is
[00:50:11] how we uh make the best of
[00:50:14] our hold on a second is he or just don't
[00:50:17] go to college
[00:50:19] yeah you next question
[00:50:23] please hi my name is aora vassel I'm the
[00:50:27] oldest of six kids so my parents
[00:50:30] definitely understand the difference
[00:50:31] between a man and a woman so thank you
[00:50:33] Matt for the movie I want to ask if you
[00:50:36] have more tips on standing up against
[00:50:40] confirming the people around me who
[00:50:42] continue to push the gender ideology
[00:50:45] keep in mind I live in a deep blue state
[00:50:48] that is still their media is still
[00:50:50] controlled by the left so it is
[00:50:53] important never to acques in this yes
[00:50:56] truly it is really really really
[00:50:58] important and that you are not doing
[00:51:00] anybody any favors you know harsh truth
[00:51:02] is still better than kind falsehood and
[00:51:05] telling somebody who is obviously
[00:51:08] suffering from a mental condition that
[00:51:11] in reality they're a member of the
[00:51:12] opposite sex is not doing them any
[00:51:13] favors at all you wouldn't do it in any
[00:51:15] other circumstance you would never say
[00:51:17] to an anorexic person actually you know
[00:51:18] what you're totally right you're really
[00:51:20] fat when they're actually underweight by
[00:51:22] 40 pounds you would never ever tell
[00:51:23] somebody who is suffering from severe
[00:51:26] depression that actually maybe you're
[00:51:27] right maybe suicide is the proper answer
[00:51:29] you know maybe you're thinking this
[00:51:30] through properly and so the idea that
[00:51:32] you should confirm somebody in what is
[00:51:34] an unhealthy delusion is wrong now
[00:51:36] you're is that going to make friends no
[00:51:38] is that person going to necessarily want
[00:51:40] to go out to dinner with you no but they
[00:51:41] are going to remember in the darkness of
[00:51:44] the night that there was somebody who
[00:51:45] was telling them the truth and that is
[00:51:47] really really important because if no
[00:51:49] one tells them the truth then they're
[00:51:50] never going to understand that the other
[00:51:52] answer was always there which is that
[00:51:53] maybe this is not a body problem maybe
[00:51:56] this is a brain problem and you know
[00:51:59] that and that requires you know
[00:52:00] different thinking about these issues
[00:52:02] entirely and of course Matt is the
[00:52:04] expert on on this particular topic
[00:52:06] because not only did he make a movie but
[00:52:08] I've heard he's a woman
[00:52:11] but uh I mean look I I I think Ben uh
[00:52:14] Ben cover covered it well I mean the
[00:52:17] most important thing and also to go to
[00:52:19] Drew Point Drew's Point earlier about
[00:52:21] you know never never lie and so
[00:52:24] uh you know you don't have to go looking
[00:52:27] for confrontation now we tend to be
[00:52:30] confrontational people it's part of our
[00:52:32] job uh we're kind of wired that way and
[00:52:34] so if you are and you want to go out and
[00:52:36] look for that then I mean God God be
[00:52:38] with you but you don't have to do that
[00:52:41] and uh you don't have to go jumping on
[00:52:42] every grenade that you find in the room
[00:52:45] but it's just don't play the game don't
[00:52:47] don't acques don't play the language
[00:52:49] games you know that was the the big
[00:52:51] mistake that was made uh culturally even
[00:52:54] among some conservatives back several
[00:52:56] years ago where they started playing The
[00:52:58] Language game and they said well I just
[00:53:00] want to be polite and once we once we
[00:53:02] start putting politeness over the truth
[00:53:05] then you've already lost and uh so don't
[00:53:08] don't do that and you'll be fine I
[00:53:13] think hello my name is Jeremiah gripo
[00:53:16] and I just wanted to ask a question on
[00:53:18] behalf of Ben Davies uh Michael noes why
[00:53:21] do you pretend like your show is your
[00:53:23] own show when clearly Ben Davies is the
[00:53:25] host
[00:53:27] wow wow fighting words did we just find
[00:53:31] the one Ben Davies fan at the entirety
[00:53:34] of
[00:53:36] CPAC people infiltrate these events you
[00:53:39] know the leftists or the this kind of
[00:53:41] disreputable or well all these kind of
[00:53:43] people and I found my least favorite
[00:53:46] infiltrator and that is the fan of Ben
[00:53:48] Davies though he does run most of the
[00:53:51] show if I'm being totally Frank about it
[00:53:52] he runs a lot of it I also wanted to ask
[00:53:54] what your favorite like funny Trump
[00:53:56] story is well my favorite what story
[00:53:58] funny Trump story my favorite funny
[00:54:00] Trump story like a personal Trump story
[00:54:03] or I I haven't really interacted with
[00:54:05] the man all that much uh how however
[00:54:08] there was one great time when uh I well
[00:54:11] I can't say I wrote a book but I did a
[00:54:13] book called reasons to vote for
[00:54:15] Democrats a comprehensive guide that we
[00:54:17] have scholars in the audience I see
[00:54:19] that's great uh blank book Ben Shapiro
[00:54:23] blurbed it as thorough and anyway I go I
[00:54:26] did we sold a bazillion copies I ended
[00:54:28] up getting a big book deal out of it uh
[00:54:30] then I ended up on television on cable
[00:54:32] news one morning and the most important
[00:54:35] viewer of the Fox News morning show was
[00:54:38] watching from the White House that was
[00:54:40] uh president Trump and he endorsed the
[00:54:42] book and it was really really great and
[00:54:43] people wrote about it in the newspapers
[00:54:45] but the thing they didn't write about is
[00:54:47] he also uh quoted the thing that I said
[00:54:49] right beforehand I think I was talking
[00:54:51] about his Syria policy or something but
[00:54:53] the way he quoted it made it seem like I
[00:54:55] was the president president who was like
[00:54:57] Michael nolles my Administration is
[00:54:59] bombing Syria and all and I thought man
[00:55:00] this is really cool the president is
[00:55:02] making it sound like I'm the president
[00:55:04] that's a really gracious thing for him
[00:55:06] to do and then he plugged the book so
[00:55:08] from my personal standpoint that's my
[00:55:09] favorite funny Trump story uh but I
[00:55:11] don't know there were about 10 billion
[00:55:13] others for everyone else in the room
[00:55:16] thank

[00:56:23] Sig any zins who I I need someone to get
[00:56:26] is in
[00:56:27] actually uh hello everybody's you're all
[00:56:30] fine no no I'm it's
[00:56:32] okay my name is William grips over um I
[00:56:36] had a question for Matt or Michael um as
[00:56:40] a younger man I was wondering what saint
[00:56:45] you try hardest to model yourself after
[00:56:49] and as a young man what saint did you
[00:56:51] most look up to you know I uh I I'll go
[00:56:56] to the uh to the New Testament and St
[00:56:59] Paul has always been probably the saint
[00:57:02] that I've felt the most um connection to
[00:57:06] I I wanted to choose that as my
[00:57:07] confirmation name but Paul Walsh just
[00:57:09] didn't I didn't think it sounded right
[00:57:11] so I I couldn't do it um but the thing I
[00:57:14] like about uh St Paul I mean obviously
[00:57:17] some of the most
[00:57:18] beautiful uh words some of those
[00:57:21] beautiful insights ever written can be
[00:57:22] found in the Pauline Epistles uh but
[00:57:25] also I I guess I kind of I could feel a
[00:57:28] certain connection to the fact that Paul
[00:57:30] was when you read the the paulan
[00:57:31] Epistles he was quite blunt in the way
[00:57:35] that he talked to people and the way
[00:57:37] that he addressed uh issues and um and
[00:57:40] to me it's a it's a real rebuke of the
[00:57:42] kind of uh nicey nice Mr Rogers sort of
[00:57:46] Christianity that we've gotten fed to us
[00:57:48] force fed to us over the last several
[00:57:50] decades because then when you go and and
[00:57:52] even if you read the gospels and and you
[00:57:54] read the way that that the
[00:57:57] um uh dealt with Hypocrites and uh and
[00:58:01] dealt with corruption you also find that
[00:58:04] it's quite quite a bit more aggressive
[00:58:06] and blunt and direct not not
[00:58:07] mean-spirited certainly not hateful um
[00:58:10] there's no contempt in it but it's
[00:58:13] calling the sin out and rebuking it
[00:58:16] directly and uh which is the thing that
[00:58:18] I love about my my confirmation Saint is
[00:58:21] Thomas but I don't know which one it was
[00:58:23] because because I was a punk kid I was
[00:58:26] was 13 I became an atheist and I don't
[00:58:29] remember if I picked Thomas because I
[00:58:30] was doubting or because I had heard
[00:58:32] vaguely of this man Thomas aquinus and I
[00:58:35] heard he was a smart guy and I thought I
[00:58:36] was smarter than I was but it all really
[00:58:38] comes full circle because doubting
[00:58:39] Thomas D he's called doubting but of
[00:58:42] course he says you know let us go with
[00:58:43] the Lord let us die with him that's a
[00:58:45] great show of faith and St Thomas
[00:58:47] aquinus is the one of the most
[00:58:49] intelligent people ever to live and was
[00:58:50] right about everything and was certainly
[00:58:52] a lot more correct about ultimate things
[00:58:54] than some punk 13 old atheist who
[00:58:56] happily came out the other end and by
[00:58:59] the way Thomas means twins so I think I
[00:59:01] can claim them both at least I choose to
[00:59:03] thank you very
[00:59:05] much hello my name is Harley I'm a huge
[00:59:08] fan um but I wanted to ask what do you
[00:59:12] have to say about the gender ideologists
[00:59:15] that use intersex people as a pawn for
[00:59:17] their CH agenda it's it's massive
[00:59:20] category error so when you're talking
[00:59:22] about people who are intersex these are
[00:59:24] people who have some sort of genetic
[00:59:27] disorder in which they develop
[00:59:29] differently than say XY genetics because
[00:59:30] the sry Y Gene has crossed over for
[00:59:32] example uh or where they develop
[00:59:34] secondary sexual characteristics that
[00:59:36] are not in line with their genetics this
[00:59:37] does not make them a separate sex
[00:59:38] anymore than a person who is born with a
[00:59:40] third arm would constitute a separate
[00:59:42] class of human being called the third
[00:59:44] armed people right a genetic defect is
[00:59:46] not the same thing as suggesting that
[00:59:48] there is an entirely separate sex sex is
[00:59:50] defined by the actual
[00:59:54] reproductive resource that is being
[00:59:56] created either the either the egg or the
[00:59:57] sperm or the large cell gam or the small
[01:00:00] cell gam that that is actually how you
[01:00:02] define sex biologically speaking so
[01:00:04] suggesting that because somebody has a
[01:00:06] birth defect in which it's unclear to
[01:00:08] the outside eye what their genetics
[01:00:10] might be that this somehow means that a
[01:00:12] genetic man who has all the normal
[01:00:14] characteristics of a genetic man could
[01:00:15] theoretically be a woman that's just an
[01:00:18] asinine category error and people are
[01:00:20] lying when they attempt to equate
[01:00:21] interex with for example a person who is
[01:00:24] a genetic male who claims that they are
[01:00:25] actually a female guys thank you so much
[01:00:28] for spending time with us tonight enjoy
[01:00:29] the rest of CAC and enjoy the next four
