We 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: know him from Praeger You and the Alex Marlow Show, 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: where he's been on several times in the past. 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 4: Shabas always nice to see you. 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: I reached out because you had a new show, and 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: let's just pluge that right out. 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 4: Of the gate here and then we'll get into the 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 4: news here. But tell me about it. 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it. 18 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 5: So. The new show is called Theological, and as the 19 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 5: name suggests, we want young people, especially to tap into 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 5: their faith and spirituality. We have seen that post Charlie Kirk, 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 5: there has been this Charlie bump where young people who 22 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 5: are on the search for spirituality and eating and purpose 23 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 5: in their life are actually going back to religion. And 24 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 5: I know I have the funny hat. My name Mishab 25 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 5: is Custenbaum. But I will go to great length to 26 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 5: encourage young people. If you're a Christian, like you should 27 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 5: be going to church, and you should be reading the 28 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 5: New Testament, and you should be living a life in 29 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 5: accordance with the teachings of Jesus. In fact, my monody 30 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 5: is one of our most revered rabbinic stages of the 31 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 5: twelfth century. He says explicitly that Jews have an obligation 32 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 5: to show gratitude and appreciation to Christians because it was 33 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 5: Christianity that brought about the idea of Messianic expectations and mantheism. 34 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 5: So the point of our show is to get young 35 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 5: people back into faith. We have a faith leader on 36 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 5: every single week to talk about, you know, big ideas. 37 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 5: So we just had David Blie at the Gateway Center 38 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 5: to talk about the controversial topic of the day, what 39 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 5: is christian zion is and what is dispensationalism and replacement theology. 40 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 5: We then had a Catholic priest to talk about exorcisms. 41 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 5: In fact, the Pope Leo just had a whole conference 42 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 5: on the resurgence of demons and demonic forces. So we 43 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 5: spoke about, like what does an exorcism entail and how 44 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 5: can you actually prevent yourself from from needing one a 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 5: brand new topic exploring religion and we want young people 46 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 5: to tap into their faith and really follow the legacy 47 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: of Charlie Kirk. 48 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 4: So I got a lot of responses to that. 49 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: And first of all, Mot's shocked to hear you say 50 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter what your faith is. More faith 51 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: is generally a good thing unless you're on the Jihad track. 52 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: It just seems to be in that case at less 53 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: faith like a little bore. Instagram reels like that case. 54 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: If you're on that, it's been a little more time 55 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: on TikTok in that case. But unless you're on that track, 56 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: it's a good thing. And you know our friend Dennis Frager, 57 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: he is who you work for him now. I get 58 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: to sit in his chair every day in the Salem 59 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: studios in the radio show, and he he would say 60 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, And I do think that that's really important. 61 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: But so I want to talk about one thing. 62 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Can I come on and complain about how the Catholic 63 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: Church does not provide enough opportunity for young people? It's 64 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: just not a standard to children's liturgy during Mass. And 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: I've got my two year old in particular, I have 66 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing that I can do to amuse her for 67 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: an hour for a Mass on Sunday, and it really 68 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: it lessens my faith. So I feel like that's a 69 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: good place where maybe you can. I can evangelize for 70 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that on your show. 71 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 3: We're happy to have you evangelized. 72 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 5: I just don't want to get into any more trouble 73 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 5: with the Catholic Church than I already am. I don't 74 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 5: know if you've been following the White House Religious Liberties Commission, 75 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 5: but Carrie Projan Bohler, who was fired from the Commission 76 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: and a newly established convert to the faith, she believes 77 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 5: that she is the spokesman for the Catholic Church, and 78 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 5: she is demanding a meeting with the Pope. So I 79 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 5: don't think we should call her Krriy. We should probably 80 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 5: call her Karen. But this is someone who believes that 81 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 5: the Catholic Church mandates that we must abhor the Jewish faith, 82 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 5: that we must abhor and have disdained for the state 83 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 5: of Israel. And I offered to debate her, not on theology, 84 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: because if that's your belief I don't really care. 85 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: I mean, go for it, but I. 86 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 5: Offered to debate her on the lie she's been saying 87 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 5: about Trump and Naga and you know, the Jewish religion. 88 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: Of course she won't do it. 89 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 5: But point being, I think she's part of a weirdly new, 90 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 5: disturbing trend of people who have bizarre politics and they're 91 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: trying to hijack the Catholic Church to you know, be 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 5: a cloak for those politics, which is why Timothy Dolan 93 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 5: had an excellent tweet yesterday saying that, like, the Catholic 94 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 5: Church has a doctrine on our relationship with other faiths, 95 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 5: our relationship with a know, with the Middle East, and 96 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 5: this is what we believe in. But apparently Karen pa 97 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 5: Jan Buller knows better. 98 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, really interesting that this is happening. 99 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Candice Owens say, is the same thing where she's 100 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: constantly talking about Catholic faith and she's new to the church, 101 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: and then she spends most of the rest of her 102 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: time trying to destroy Charliekirk's organization and destroy Charlie Kirk's 103 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: widow and the mother of his children. So it's a 104 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: it's very odd, but you know, it's as a Catholic. 105 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: Shabas were known for having people who also identify as 106 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Catholics say a bunch of stupid stuff and do stupid things. 107 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: So this is not news for me. But yeah, I 108 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: did notice that that Carrie Prajan does. She does talk 109 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: as though she is herself the pope and she is 110 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: speaking on behalf of the entire church. 111 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: Why did she get kicked off that religious liberties thing? 112 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: She did something anti Semitic or something. Is that what 113 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: I'm recalling? 114 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 5: Okay, No, she did not get fired for being an 115 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 5: anti Semite. She got fired for being an absolute moron. 116 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 5: So I was just walking through very very quickly. The 117 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: White House Religious Liberties Commission was established by Preident Trump. 118 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 5: I was at the White House when he signed the 119 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 5: executive order, and it was to fulfill a major campaign 120 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 5: promise that there is clearly religious discrimination that has grown 121 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 5: in the United States and we want to alleviate those concerns. Great, 122 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 5: there are thirteen commissioners, like five of them are Catholic. 123 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 5: There's only one Jew or a by Mayrislavchik. And I'm 124 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: asked to get to testify. This is in February, and 125 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 5: I do not talk about Israel. I don't talk about 126 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 5: Apec or BB or Gaza or the Middle East. I 127 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 5: don't you know what I talk about alex I talk 128 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 5: about how twenty minutes from where I live in Long Beach, California, 129 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 5: there was a Catholic school that was vandalized in an 130 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 5: anti Catholic attack. I talk about how my LDS friends 131 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 5: were the victims of chance of f the Mormons at 132 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: an Oklahoma state game. And after I had demonstrated that 133 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 5: clearly there's a rise of general religious discrimination in the 134 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 5: United States, then I talk about how American Jews are 135 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 5: part of that as well, based on our experiences on 136 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 5: college campuses. And Kerry po John Boehler, who was wearing 137 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 5: the flag of Palestine, mind you, So it's interesting she 138 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 5: always talk about why are we defending a foreign country? 139 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: When I'm the one who focused on America. She's the 140 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 5: one who's obsessed with a foreign country. She is texting 141 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 5: her senior, a radical Islamist who was in the front stands, 142 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 5: who called me islamophobic for referring to Hamas as an 143 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 5: Islamist organization. And Carrie totally disregards anything I had said 144 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 5: about the importance of helping out our Catholic friends or 145 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 5: Mormon friends, and yes, the Jewish community. And she just 146 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 5: asks me to denounce a genocide in Gaza, which a 147 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 5: isn't happening, but being more fundamentally had literally nothing to 148 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 5: do with this commission. If she wants to talk about 149 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 5: Gaza and Israel, you know, great, you can just ask 150 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 5: Candace Owens producer directly to go on her show. You 151 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 5: don't need to be doing this like bizarre theater in 152 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 5: front of the other commissioners. 153 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: She then attacks Seth Dylan and by. 154 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 5: The way, because she's such a moron, she thought Seth 155 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 5: Dlon was Jewish. She says that Candice Owens is a 156 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 5: great champion of truth. 157 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: She actually defends Nick one t. 158 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: She's a big Candace person. 159 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: That's kind of why I'm tuned now on this is 160 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: because I got the impression from her socials that she 161 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: is getting most of her news from Candace. And I 162 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: try to go out of my way to just spend 163 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: time on Candace because that's what Candace wants. And then 164 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: you always run the risk of the like you get 165 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: clipped by Candice. 166 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 4: Then she plays in your show, and. 167 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Then all of her your dms are done for the 168 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: day on social media, and it just sort of so 169 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: I try to avoid it, though it's inevitable comes up 170 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: from time to time, but I did. I do notice 171 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: that if she is your leading light, if she's the 172 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: one who's providing you your news, then you're not going 173 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: to be informed. And that's just what's going on here. 174 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: And it was clear Carey Prijeon was, which is why 175 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: I kind of checked out on this. 176 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 177 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: But the problem is, though, because we lived in, you know, 178 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 5: this world of grifting, and our American political culture is 179 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: unfortunately really dumb. It caters to the lowest common denominator. 180 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 5: She had I think like four or five thousand, yeah, 181 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: five thousand of followers on Twitter the day before the commission. 182 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 5: Now she has close to two hundred thousand followers. And 183 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 5: I always find that remarkable because people accuse me of, 184 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 5: you know, getting paid by Israel, getting paid by Apak 185 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 5: or whatever. And I always say, like, if I wanted 186 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 5: to make money, if I wanted to really establish a 187 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 5: name for myself, the easiest thing I could do, the 188 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 5: quickest thing I could do, the most profitable thing I 189 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 5: can do, is go on my Twitter right now and say, 190 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 5: you know what I have been lied to by the 191 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 5: Zionis for twenty five years. 192 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: I realized they were wrong. 193 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: There actually is a genocide, there is Jewish supremacy, and 194 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 5: I'm so sorry for being a tool in that machine. 195 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: You know how much money I could make. 196 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 5: I would be on the on the front cover of 197 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 5: you know, Al Jazeera and American Conservative. I would be 198 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 5: on Tucker Carlson Show within a week. 199 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: It's the easiest thing to do. And she plays it. 200 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 5: Masterfully that she was literally on Tucker Show within like 201 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 5: three weeks of just making up lies about President Trump, 202 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: about the Commission, and about Catholic teachings. 203 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: You know what I was just reminded of. 204 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: She wrote an article for me at Breitbart seventeen years ago, 205 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: so that was even before I was editing. 206 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: So you're to blame for this. 207 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 4: I had at all points to be see all Rosie. 208 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: Back to bright Bart, I've already said this is. 209 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: The We're responsible for all all of the most interesting 210 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: things that happened on this planet, shabas. So here's what 211 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: is interesting to me is that you're a very good debater, 212 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: and you're trying to get in situations where you're debating people. 213 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: I just feel like This is at the center of 214 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: the culture right now, is just being able to debate 215 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: and find yourself in debate. 216 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: It's the have you always been like this? 217 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Do you feel like that this is something that you 218 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: would you prefer to be just kind of asking normal 219 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: journalistic questions or talking to friends, or do you really 220 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: just enjoy kind. 221 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: Of mixing it up with people in a debate setting. 222 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: That that's an interesting question. 223 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 5: I think because our political culture demands of it, then 224 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 5: I have to be in that space, that debating space 225 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 5: that that you know, rage for clickspace. It's not good, 226 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 5: but that's just how ideas are formed. I mean, Pierce 227 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 5: Morgan is a really good example of this. I go 228 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 5: on his show and I don't like it. I don't 229 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 5: like being called the B word and a Nazi and 230 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 5: a baby killer and being interrupted and yelled at at six. 231 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: In the morning. 232 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: It's not a word. 233 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 5: I don't know if I can curse on on radio. 234 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: No, No, this is this is fine. 235 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: Okay. 236 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 5: So you know I've been called a bit repeatedly by 237 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 5: anarchist Barrian. I've repeatedly been called a Nazian, a baby coller. 238 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 5: And it's funny because, as I said, We're in Los Angeles, 239 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 5: so we recorded at like you know, six seven am, 240 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 5: and like, oh, you kill Palestinian babies. I'm like, lady, 241 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 5: I just woke up, Like what could I possibly have done? 242 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 5: But the reason I do it is because Piers Morgan 243 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 5: has more daily listeners than there are Jews on planet Earth. 244 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: So for us to surrender and see that territory I 245 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 5: don't think is smart. But look I went, I'll use 246 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 5: my graduate experience at Harvard as a good example. 247 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: I went to Harvard to like study. 248 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 5: Religion, like that's all I wanted to do, and I 249 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 5: was thinking, maybe I'll be an educator, maybe a professor. 250 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 5: But this was really not part of the plan. But 251 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: we have to engage in the culture. And as I said, 252 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 5: I wish the culture wasn't like this, but it kind 253 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: of is. And to your point, I sorry, I just 254 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: have to go back to Carebajan BeO for one last time. 255 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 5: She keeps saying that I'm silencing her speech and that 256 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 5: you know this is zigon is supremacy. I've offered debate her, 257 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 5: to debate her nine separate times, I guess the tenth 258 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 5: time now on your show. Not only has she never responded, 259 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 5: she's blocked me on Twitter. So the people who are 260 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 5: the most inhospitable to free speech and intellectual discourse and 261 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 5: academic dialogue are those on the far left and the 262 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 5: far right who are just interested in propagating preconceived notions 263 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: that are completely detached from reality. And as I said, 264 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 5: I don't like how adversarial our politics have become, how 265 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 5: binary it has become. I try, at least when I 266 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 5: do in person debates, to always end it with a handshake, 267 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 5: and I always give them, you know, my phone number, 268 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 5: please stay in touch, anything I could do to help. 269 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 5: But it really is, especially on social media, it's just 270 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: this binary of winners and losers, and if you support 271 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 5: certain political propositions then you're at the enemy. And that's 272 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: obviously incredibly detrimental to the health that our democracy. 273 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not good. 274 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: And what's interesting to me is that I really abhor 275 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: the feud culture that goes on. And you know, people 276 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: will can track my work at right part for the last. 277 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: Almost two decades, and. 278 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: We've fought a lot of battles, but we try not 279 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: to create amount of nowhere. I'll tell you that we 280 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: try to wait for others to initiate, but it just 281 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: seems like that is the currency now, is that you 282 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: have to be able to just engage and mix it 283 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: up with people online if you want to get attention. 284 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: And there's something that I don't love about it, which 285 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: is that it would be nice to be able to 286 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: civilly disagree, and that just is not is just not real. 287 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: There's not I play a clip in my live show 288 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: today where I was playing John Fetterman saying how he 289 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: did not vote for the Big Beautiful Bill, but he 290 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: was explaining just it did fund ICE and that's where 291 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: all the ICE funding come from, which is why there's 292 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: enough ICE agents who are now replacing the TSA agents, 293 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: and so the shutting down the DHS funding is only 294 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: affecting travelers in TSA agents, not really affecting ICE. There's 295 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: a lot of and he's explaining this and it's just 296 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: do you think anyone who votes Democrat who doesn't just 297 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: Fall Fetterman know this? Of course not, because they won't 298 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: even share with their audience where we're coming from on 299 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: these issues. And it's just so bad for society that 300 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: we're not even appraising our own audiences of what the 301 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,359 Speaker 1: other side is saying. 302 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why every other week there's an anonymous source 303 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 5: in the New York Times that says that John Fetterman 304 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 5: is on a mental death spiral and he's mentally unfit. 305 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 5: They're calling him a trader. They're saying, why doesn't he 306 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 5: just register as a Republican? Because there's almost no nuance 307 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 5: anymore in our political discourse. And I'll give you one 308 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 5: quick example. I did a Jubilee debate. 309 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: You believe is he? You know this to your YouTube 310 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: dibation and. 311 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, no that it's a ton of fun, and I'll 312 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 5: actually be back in two weeks. But point being, it 313 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 5: was a debate between myself as a Jew, an atheist, 314 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 5: a Christian and a Muslim. 315 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: And I don't even remember what the. 316 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 5: Prompt was, but essentially your listeners can watch the clip 317 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 5: on my Instagram and on my Twitter. It did pretty 318 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 5: well in terms of clicks and viewership because I asked 319 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 5: the Muslim participant in a totally respectful, respectful, a totally 320 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: normal way. I said, on what the prompt was, all 321 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 5: cultures are equal, and I said no, I said, Iraq 322 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 5: has in the Middle East by extension, Muslim majority countries 323 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: have a huge problem with pedophilia and in particular child 324 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 5: marriage laws, which basically are either lacks or non existent. 325 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 5: And I said, if you're an immigrations officer and you 326 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: have an Iraqi immigrant saying, look, I plan, for the 327 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: most part to abide by American law, but I also 328 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 5: plan on marrying and impregnating a nine year old because 329 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 5: that's what I do in my culture, in my country. 330 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 5: And I said, as the immigrations officer, would you terminate 331 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,359 Speaker 5: his application? 332 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 3: And she said no. 333 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 5: I mean that to me was astounding for a whole 334 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 5: host of reasons, but point being, I mean, all of 335 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 5: the comments were, we're manifesting what you and I were 336 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 5: just talking about about what we abhor, the winners and 337 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 5: losers and the binary. So the comments were all, we 338 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 5: need to deport all Muslims, and you know, we need 339 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 5: to start shooting those. 340 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: On the left. 341 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 5: And look, obviously we condemn violence in all of its forms. 342 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 5: The point of the video is just to show that 343 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 5: there's a considerable amount of our political culture and our 344 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 5: electorate who don't see a problem with pedophilia, because I 345 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 5: think that all cultures are equal. But I can't get 346 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 5: that nuance across because so much of our base, both 347 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 5: on the far left and the far right are just 348 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 5: so hyper partisan, and they think in these winners and 349 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 5: losers terms. 350 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: You know, it's also interesting because if we think that 351 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: all cultures are equal, then that means our culture is 352 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: not worth preserving because it make a difference. Yeahually, it 353 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: just so such a that's kind of latent in that conversation. 354 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was. 355 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 5: Maybe it was William Buckley, but you have to fact 356 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 5: check me. Well, one of the conservative giants once said 357 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 5: that if all cultures are equal, then cannibalism is really 358 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 5: just you know, a personal diet preference. You know, there's 359 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 5: nothing inherently wrong with it. And that's why, as you know, 360 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 5: I was on the far left for most of my 361 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 5: life up until October seventh. But one of the things 362 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 5: that really caused me to have disdain for the far 363 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 5: left is like, fundamentally they don't believe that certain people 364 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 5: are people, Like they don't believe that Palestinians, for example, 365 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 5: are people because nothing they do is ever they their fault. 366 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: They just like. 367 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 5: Fundamentally don't believe in Deuteronomy in verse nineteen that we're 368 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 5: created with human agency. 369 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: So you know, when Yahua. 370 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: Sinwar says like we will commit October seventh a million 371 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 5: more times. 372 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't really mean that. 373 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 5: Or when Hamas, you know, pillages and rapes and burns 374 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 5: and kidnaps, well they had to do it. 375 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: What other choice did they have? Like the left. 376 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 5: Fundamentally believes there is nothing that Hamas can do that 377 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 5: is ever their responsibility. Same thing is true with luigimanjion 378 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 5: the guy who shot and killed Brian Thompson, that healthcare CEO. 379 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 5: Every single age demographic in the country condemned that assassination, 380 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 5: except eighteen to twenty four year olds, because we have 381 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 5: been fed a diet of political indoctrination that so long 382 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 5: as you score high enough on the victimhod Olympics, you 383 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 5: literally can do whatever you want to rid yourself with 384 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: that oppression, Which is why my generation supports Luigi Maanngioni 385 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: and they're writing, you know, these love letters to him 386 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 5: in prison, because fundamentally the left does not believe that 387 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 5: certain people are people and that they don't have human agency. 388 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 5: They weren't created in the image of God. There are 389 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 5: these poor, helpless victims, and we are obliged to support them, 390 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 5: no matter how many heinous terrorist acts they commit. 391 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, really interesting. 392 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this conversation I had on Charlie 393 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Kirk's show this week where we were talking about DEI 394 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: and what's going on in California, about how and I 395 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: haven't brought this up on this show because it's been 396 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: on every other show, but how California has had to 397 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: cancel a good, goodnatorial debate because all the candidates were white, 398 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: which I also thought was hilarious because I don't think 399 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: I know six white people in California anymore, so really 400 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: they're all readyly lives. 401 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 4: There, my family or I don't know. 402 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: It's the I guess all the whites are running for 403 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: governor now, and the fact that it's only whites it 404 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: is pretty funny. But I was thinking about the whole 405 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: point of DEI is I'm realizing that is the goal. 406 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: The goal is not excellence, it's not getting closer to 407 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: God or Heaven. It's not being a good person or 408 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: not being a successful person. The goal is simply to 409 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: claim that identity, that representation, just just to be brown 410 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: and in a job, to be a LGBTQ plus three 411 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: spirit sport, four spirit, five spirit questioning, and to have 412 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: a job that's it. 413 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: That's the end. 414 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to perform, you don't have to have 415 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 1: any standards. And when you understand that, it's very scary 416 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: because how does someone like you or me find any 417 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: commonality with people who think that way. 418 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 5: Well, that's why some of those vocal opponents against DEI 419 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 5: are black people, Carol Swayin, Ben Carson, Leo Terrell. It's 420 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 5: because what DEI does, and again we can use the 421 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 5: Institutions of Higher Learning as a really good case study 422 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: of this, is it tells black people, or it tells 423 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 5: gay people. 424 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: It tells them you will. 425 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 5: Never be able to succeed on your own, like you 426 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 5: will never have success in life based on your own merits. Therefore, 427 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 5: we're going to do one of two things. We are 428 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 5: either going to artificially boost your credentials and or we 429 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 5: are going to artificially deflate the standards, which is why, 430 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 5: again Harper's a really good case study of this. To 431 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 5: be an Asian American, or to be a white Christian, 432 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 5: or to be a Jew, you have to score significantly 433 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 5: higher on your s A T scores than if you 434 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 5: were Hispanic or black. And this is not my talking 435 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 5: point as a MAGA conservative. This is what Harvard's own 436 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 5: admissions data showed in the Supreme Court decision Students for 437 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 5: Fair Admissions that if you came from a certain racial 438 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 5: identity or ethnicity or particular background, they would lower the 439 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 5: standards because they don't believe that you are capable of 440 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 5: possessing or achieving meritocracy. And I think probably the best 441 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 5: I shouldn't even say the best example of Another good 442 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 5: example of this is the Save Act. So I'm a 443 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 5: support of the Save ACTU I whome you're in support 444 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 5: of the Save Act, But I can understand the political 445 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 5: grievances on the other side that, hey, voter fraud isn't 446 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 5: batic of an issue, and this wouldn't really address the problem. 447 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 5: I think those are legitimate. I disagree with it, but 448 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 5: I think those are legitimate responses. However, the Save Act 449 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 5: has coalesced the Democratic Party into publicly admitting that we 450 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 5: just don't believe black people are smart enough to get ideas. 451 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: We don't think they are. 452 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 5: Intellectually capable of applying for passports. What Chuck Schumer has 453 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 5: been saying the last two or three weeks is copy 454 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 5: pays from like the Jim Crow South, like blacks are 455 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: too dumb, and therefore we as the Democrats, need to 456 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 5: safeguard them from doing the most basic due diligence. It 457 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 5: is profound the level of overt racism that the far 458 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 5: left has and how they treat minority groups and Conservatism. 459 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 5: This is why I'm now conservative, says again. You're all 460 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: created in the image of God. You all have the 461 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 5: ability to possess human agency and to make choices for yourself. 462 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: Anyone can possess a passport. 463 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 5: It's not adjudicated or it's not decided on what your race, 464 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: or sexual orientation or gender is. 465 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: So one thing that where you got your I think 466 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: first little taste of notoriety was going up against Harvard 467 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: and some of their discriminatory practices. I got a funny 468 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: Harvard story that hopefully missus doctor Marlow won't mind me 469 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: sharing this. But I am married to my high school sweetheart, 470 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: as I talked about on the show, and I've known 471 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: my wife for more than half our lives, and she's 472 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: a very bright person. She's an oncologist now and is 473 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: a done very well and everything she's ever done. 474 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 4: And we met in high school. 475 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: She's a standout student and had all the great extracurriculars 476 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: and was actually the daughter of a Harvard legacy person 477 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: or her day. Went to Harvard twice and including Harvard 478 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Medical School, and she got rejected from Harvard. And I 479 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: always thought that was very stupid because it was clearly 480 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: she was she was going to do great in her life. 481 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: Anyone who meets her knows that she was going to 482 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: be success. That it was the surest bed ever and 483 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: you can get in. And I always it worked out 484 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: great for me because she ended up at Berkeley where 485 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: I was, and then you know, our whole life was 486 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: ahead of us at that point, which was terrific. 487 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: So it all worked out. God has a plan for 488 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 4: all of us. But it was also unfair. 489 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this stuff and I never 490 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: got over She got over it. I never got over 491 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: it on her behalf, because it's not fair. She should 492 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: have got to go wherever she wanted because she was 493 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: going to be success. 494 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 4: And so it's one of. 495 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: These things where clearly something happened in the admissions process 496 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: where they took the sure bat person that we're not 497 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: having her for whatever reason. And it makes me think, 498 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: it makes me loathe higher education, which is I think 499 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: very healthy for someone with my politics, and so a 500 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of the discussion this. 501 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: Week and my show has been about AI. 502 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: And one thing that I'm actually optimistic about with AI 503 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: is I think people are going to teach themselves a 504 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: lot better with more I would say, individualize curricula for 505 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: themselves using AI, and I think is going to be 506 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: totally devastating to higher education. As someone who has been 507 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: a prominent critic of some faults and higher education, do 508 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: you have any hope as I do, that perhaps AI 509 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: could finally be the come up and for higher ed. 510 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: You know, I think nutrition has gotten way too complicated. 511 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: Every week there's a new powder, a new lab, creative formula, 512 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: some new breakthrough. But here's the truth. We've been told 513 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: as we were kids to eat our fruits and vegetables, 514 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: but no one really explained why when you eat whole foods, 515 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: you're getting phyto nutrients, those natural compounds your body uses 516 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: to adjust, repair and respond every single day. 517 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 4: That's not hype. 518 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: That's how we were designed and that's why I take 519 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: balance of nature. They use a tailored vacuum cold process 520 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: that stabilizes the phyto nutrition in fruits and veggies, so 521 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: you're getting real whole food nutrition, not synthetic substitutes. Their 522 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: whole health system includes fruits and veggies, plus fiber and spice, 523 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: forty seven ingredients in one simple routine, I take it myself. 524 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: If you want to fight the good fight, good to 525 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: Balance of Nature dot com to subscribe and save today, 526 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: join hundreds of thousands of customers in one simple routine 527 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: that's changing the world. 528 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a Luddant. 529 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 5: I have a healthy dose of skepticism with AI, as 530 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 5: I think any rational person would. But ultimately, AI is 531 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 5: a technology, a new technology, just like any other new technology, 532 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 5: just like the advent of the Internet, just like the 533 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 5: advent of personal computers and cell phones. So there is 534 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 5: a legitimate question as to you know, this is coming 535 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 5: for our jobs, and you know, what are the safeguards, 536 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 5: if any, we should put in place. I think those 537 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 5: are healthy conversations happening within political discourse. But ultimately, when 538 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 5: it comes to higher education, I think AI is a 539 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: tremendous thing because so often we have seen professors and 540 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 5: the Ivy leagues are a good case study of this 541 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 5: teaching students not how to think, but what to think. 542 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 5: So if the concern is we don't want students using 543 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 5: an AI chatbot, because it's simply going to regurgitate information 544 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 5: and indoctrinate them to believe a certain politic. Can I 545 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 5: introduce you to like Harvard University of the last fifty years. 546 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 5: I mean, that's essentially what their professors are already doing, 547 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 5: at least with AI. You know, you can sort of 548 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 5: challenge with a challenge the model without thinking that your 549 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 5: grades will suffer as a result. And I actually posted 550 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 5: on my Twitter just a few hours ago in open 551 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: letter to the Harvard University, to the donors, to the trustees, 552 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 5: and I had said, look, I know you hate me, 553 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 5: you hate President Trump. You think this is a fascist 554 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 5: overhaul of you know, higher education and the enforcement of 555 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 5: federal laws really just from grandiose conspiracy. But like, does 556 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 5: it bother you that ninety seven percent of your faculty 557 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 5: believe in one ideology liberalism? Does it bother you that 558 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 5: you have professors who are stating that they were told 559 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 5: not to hire white men if they had a less 560 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 5: qualified black person or gay person. Does it bother you 561 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 5: that you're former president, an actual serial plagiarist, has a 562 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 5: salary of nine hundred thousand dollars and is now going 563 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 5: to be teaching classes next semester on leadership using Harvard 564 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 5: Education study, Like do these things bother you? And of 565 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 5: course the answer is no, not really, because again, so 566 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 5: many of these institutions they run like what people in 567 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: AI chatbox will be. They just run on autopilot. They're 568 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 5: not accountable to the students that they allegedly represent. So 569 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 5: I think AI can do tremendous disruption, but I say 570 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 5: disruption in a very positive sense. 571 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and people are there rightly afraid of it. I 572 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: think it's going to cause a lot of the problems 573 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: in the job market, and I think that a lot 574 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: of people who are not going to be able to 575 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: get entry level jobs, they're not going to exist. I 576 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,719 Speaker 1: think it's a real threat, but I think overall, I 577 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: am really optimistic on the education side. This is a 578 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: side where I feel like it could do a lot 579 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: of good. 580 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't mean interrupt you. 581 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 5: I just want to add one last thing, and I'm 582 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 5: curious for your thoughts on this. I mean, a hallmark 583 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 5: of market capitalism is creative destruction. And it's true that 584 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of a good example. Thomas Edison 585 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 5: bought a brought a lot of the whale lamp industry 586 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 5: executives to their needes, and he got a lot of 587 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 5: that industry irrelevant. But we were better off as a 588 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 5: result as consumers and suppliers. So I agree there's a 589 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 5: healthy worry and skepticism what is. 590 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 3: AI going to do? 591 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 5: But ultimately, I mean, so much of our life has 592 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 5: been bettered by technology since the Industrial Revolution, and I 593 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 5: don't see AI as this grandiose, doom scale level threat 594 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 5: destruction that's so many on the left and increasingly the 595 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 5: right belief. I think, again, we could be like skeptical 596 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 5: to a healthy degree, but ultimately, this is just a 597 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 5: new technology that yeah, certain industries could be threatened, but 598 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 5: if we are better off economically, financially, culturally as a result, 599 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 5: I mean, that's just the history of capitalism. 600 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: So let me do something that's really fun. 601 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: I try to do this on the show a lot, 602 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: but this is kind of your job full time at 603 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: this point. I sometimes like to pose arguments I see 604 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: the left making and try to offer some retorts, even 605 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: though and not dismissed the amount of hand, which is 606 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: a mistake I think a lot of people do. Is 607 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: that the left is way worse about this than we are. 608 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: But everyone is inclined to go to their tribe where 609 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: it's safe. And so let's take on some of the 610 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: things they're saying, and let's take some on in regards 611 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: to Israel in particular, how do you react You're. 612 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 4: In debate, Javis. 613 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Someone says that Israel is actually genocide in the Palestinians. 614 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's not a hypothetical. 615 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 5: That's basically the question I get asked every single day, 616 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 5: every single college, every single you know, I want to 617 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: talk about immigration and the Epstein lists and tariffs and 618 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 5: all everyone else, Let's talk about is Israel, which is 619 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 5: a line that actually Denis Prager brought up. He said, 620 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 5: the Israel first star, you know, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, 621 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 5: because they see Israel in anything and everything as it 622 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 5: pertains to the particularity. 623 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: Is unbelievable that they've steered out, like I can't believe that, 624 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: even if you agree with every word that Tucker says. 625 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that eighty plus percent of the 626 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: shows are about. 627 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: Israel is kind of unbelievable. That that's that's a choice. 628 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a conscious choice. It's a conscious choice. 629 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 5: I'm an Orthodox Jew, meaning I pray three times a day, 630 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 5: and when we pray, we face Jerusalem, and we mentioned 631 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 5: the return to Zion dozens and dozens of times in 632 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 5: our thrice daily prayers. 633 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 3: And even an Orthodox Jew does not talk. 634 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 5: About Israel as much as Tucker Carlson and Candas Owens. 635 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 5: But getting back to the particular side of your question, 636 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 5: if Israel was committing a genoid against the pus In people, 637 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 5: first and foremost, like why did it stop? Like wire 638 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 5: Pusen is not being killed right now because there's a ceasefire. 639 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 5: What Nazi Germany abided by ceasefires and they said, you know, 640 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 5: in nineteen forty three, you know what, the war is 641 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 5: going really poorly on the Eastern Front, so we're going. 642 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: To stop killing Jews. The opposite was true. 643 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 5: In fact, they deported almost all of Hungarian jewy in 644 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 5: a four month window towards the end of the war. 645 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 5: As the Germans were losing the war, you would think 646 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 5: they would put more ornaments and supplies and military power 647 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 5: on the Eastern Front. 648 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 3: They did the opposite. They were treated their. 649 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 5: Soldiers and put more efforts and money on deporting and 650 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 5: killing the Jews of Hungary in Auschwitz. So number one, 651 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 5: if like Israel is coming to genide, like why stop? 652 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: Just continue? 653 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 5: If anything, it's a pretty bizarre way of conducting a 654 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 5: genocide because I saw with my own eyes the more 655 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 5: than eight hundred humanitarian A trucks going into Gaza on 656 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 5: a daily basis from the karamshaloone border crossing from Egypt 657 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 5: being inspected in Israel and going into Gaza trucks of 658 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 5: feminine hygiene products, baby formula, clothing, medicine. That's a bizarre 659 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 5: way of conducting a genocide. I mean, Israel actually went 660 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 5: into Gaza and they vaccinated six hundred one thousand young 661 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 5: people against the polio disease, which again it's a bizarre 662 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 5: way of conducting a genocide. Why would you inoculate a 663 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 5: terrorist population the enemy combatants so they don't die of polio. 664 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 5: If it's a genocide, then you're gonna have to understand 665 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 5: why it has. You're gonna have to explain why it 666 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 5: has one of the lowest combat to civilian ratios of 667 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 5: any war in modern warfare. In fact, the rates are 668 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 5: much lower than just local BA battles like Fallujah or 669 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 5: Mosul that took place against isis fundamentally, they are more 670 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 5: Palestinians alive today than pre October seventh. In fact, there 671 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 5: are more Palestinians alive today than nineteen forty eight. So 672 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 5: if we're conducting a genocide, we're doing a really really 673 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 5: bad job. I mean, the Palestinians in the West Bank 674 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 5: have been untouched. It's only the Palestinians in Gaza. So 675 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 5: if we're conducting a genocide, how can we've left the 676 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 5: majority territory where the majority of the Palestinians live, completely untouched. 677 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 5: And the reaction when I say these things as well, 678 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 5: you wear the funny hat and your name is shab 679 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 5: Is Castenbaum, so yours on the zionis payroll. You're paid 680 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 5: seven thousand dollars by a pack and this zion is 681 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 5: propaganda points. And this, to me is one of the 682 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 5: biggest problems within American political culture today, especially amongst young people, 683 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 5: because Ben Shapiro has this great line, facts don't care 684 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 5: about your feelings, and that's true in the face of 685 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 5: overwhelming data and evidence. It's irrelevant how you emotionally relate 686 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 5: to that. But I have found, especially on college campuses, 687 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 5: the end verse is true. And when I do these debates, 688 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 5: particularly on Israel. Feelings don't care about your facts. So 689 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 5: I can show them the facts on the ground, But 690 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 5: because they are predposed, because they have these preconceived political 691 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 5: notions that Israel is a white sellar colonial state conducting 692 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 5: a genocide, it literally does not face them in any 693 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 5: meaningful way. And I think that's what's the most scary, Like, 694 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 5: how do you convince people who actually are not interested 695 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 5: in being convinced through facts and data and logic. That's 696 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 5: a big issue. I don't have any easy answer for it. 697 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: So, Shavis, either we came to the same quote or 698 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: you somehow heard this quote. It trickled down for so 699 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: many of my ideas over the years. Back to you, 700 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: but I've been saying this for many years. Feelings don't 701 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: care about your facts. And Twitter is real life, and 702 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: people's reaction to their online avatar is what matters most, 703 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: and their feelings is what matters most. And all the 704 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: quote the hope that we're just going to go back 705 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: to a society that cares about facts first, I mean, 706 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: Democrats would never win again. It's just true to say 707 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: this is hyperbole. But they don't run on their records. 708 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: They run on fields, they run on vibes, they run 709 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: on optics, They don't actually really Gavin Newsom is the 710 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: worst track record of any Democrat in public office right now, 711 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: and she's the front runner for president. They don't care 712 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: about facts. Facts don't matter. What matters is how do 713 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: you feel about certain things at a given time. And 714 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't think bended any damage. 715 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: With that quote. But it's just not an accurate quote. 716 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: It it gets people fired up, but it doesn't ultimately 717 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: mean anything in the real world, right. 718 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 5: I mean, it's funny because I didn't like Ben when 719 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 5: he said that because I was on the left, and 720 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 5: now I've done a one to eighty. But to your 721 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,479 Speaker 5: point is going to sound a little odd. I have 722 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 5: profoundly more respect for someone like ilhan Omar than I 723 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 5: do Gavin Newsom. I mean, I abhor ilhan Omar, and 724 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 5: I think her ideas are dangerous for our country, and 725 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 5: she has a case study in denaturalization. I think she 726 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 5: should absolutely be brought back to Somalia. She herself said 727 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 5: she's here to represent the interests of the Somalia people, 728 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 5: and what better place to do that than in Somalia. 729 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 5: But she sticks to her convictions you know, Israel's a 730 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 5: terrorist state. America is a terrorist state, and she will 731 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 5: say that irrespective of what time of day it is. 732 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 5: Davin Newsom is such a snake because he will say, 733 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 5: I mean, he did this last week that Israel's an 734 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 5: apartheid state, and he wants to do a stream with 735 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 5: Hassan Piker, and then three days later we'll say, no, 736 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 5: I didn't mean that. 737 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: That's what you're talking about, and he blamed on Tom Freebman, 738 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: he blamed in the New York Times. 739 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 4: We're kind of scary. 740 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: Because the New York Times that's saying that Israel's an 741 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: apartheid state. 742 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 4: Or well, we'll take that on it. I think I 743 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 4: actually asked you this specific question. 744 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: But take that on that is an apartheids. 745 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 5: If Israel's an apartheid state, then someone has to clearly 746 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 5: articulate to me a single right that a Jewish citizen 747 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 5: of Israel has that a Muslim citizen of Israel doesn't have. 748 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 5: That will be the only characterization of how you know 749 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 5: whether something is an apartheid state or not. And actually 750 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 5: going back to this Jubilee episode, I asked the Muslim 751 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 5: panelist that very same question because she had said, Isral's 752 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 5: an apartheid state. So I said, okay, how can you 753 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 5: demonstrate that? And so she spoke about how Palaes Stittings 754 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 5: in the West Bank and Palestinians in Gaza don't have 755 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 5: the same rights as Israeli citizens. Said, of course that's true, 756 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 5: because they reject the fact that the state of Israel 757 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 5: exists and they don't want to be Israeli citizens. I 758 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 5: don't have the same rights as Portuguese citizens because I 759 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 5: don't live in Portugal and I'm not Portuguese. However, when 760 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 5: it comes to the state of Israel, people actually living 761 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 5: in the territory and are governed by the government, there 762 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 5: is not a single right you can point to that 763 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 5: Jews have, that Muslims don't, that Israelis have, that Arabs don't. 764 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 3: It's a nonsense argument. 765 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 5: But again we have play caidd and acquiesced and surrender 766 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 5: to the lowest common denominator. We have the second largest 767 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 5: political party in the thatited state. It's the Democratic Party 768 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 5: that are catering to the lowest common denominator of their base, 769 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 5: and they are affirming all of these grandiose delusions, which 770 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 5: is why Kamala Harris rip when she was running in 771 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, she brought about this idea. 772 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 3: It didn't really get a lot. 773 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 5: Of coverage in the media, but I thought it really 774 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 5: encapsulated everything wrong with the party. Where she was being 775 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 5: asked by one of these hamasniks about her support for Israel, 776 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 5: which by the way, she has no support for Israel, 777 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 5: but I digress, and she said by and I quote, well, 778 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 5: that's your truth, and I have a different truth. That 779 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 5: is not how democracy works, that's not how Western civilization 780 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 5: can survive or sustain itself. That is out of the 781 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 5: Marxist playbook. There is no your truth and my truth. 782 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 5: There are simply the truth. And we have an obligation. 783 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 5: Whether you're in the conservative political space, whether you're running 784 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 5: for president on the Democratic Party, whether you're just you know, 785 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 5: a father or a mother, we always have an obligation 786 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 5: to tell the truth, no matter how inconvenient or uncomfortable 787 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 5: it makes us. And this brings brings me to a 788 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 5: sort of related point, although not really. I was on again, 789 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 5: going back to Peers Morgan. I was on a show 790 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 5: a week or two ago, and I am no Ben Shapiro, 791 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 5: and I'm a real nobody I'm not a major conservative voice. 792 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: But I have a platform. I mean, I work at Prager. 793 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 5: You and I told Michael Noles, who I have the 794 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 5: utmost respect for, and I did not mean this in 795 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 5: any personal way. 796 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 3: This is not a criticism, but. 797 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 5: I did suggest, in fact I didn't suggest, I said 798 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 5: it explicitly that you, Michael who you do have prominence, 799 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 5: You do have sway to millions of people, especially young people. 800 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 5: I think you do have an obligation, especially as a 801 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 5: you know, Bible believe in Christian that when you see evil, 802 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 5: you have an obligation to call it out. A Book 803 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 5: of Deuteronomy is incredibly clear about how we are to 804 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 5: treat the widow. And when you have someone who is 805 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 5: not treating the widow in the way the Bible demands 806 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: of us to put it mildly, and you don't say anything, 807 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 5: that to me sort of seems like an abandonment of 808 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 5: biblical values. And it also seems to be what Kamala 809 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 5: Harris engages in the Your Truth and My Truth, And 810 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 5: that's very, very scary. 811 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about the Candace context here with this stuff, 812 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: like it was that kind of what was implied there. 813 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 4: I'm not trying to get in trouble. 814 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: But because I don't know Knowles at all, I don't 815 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: really we don't do a ton of interacting with the 816 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: Daily Wire if you know the history Shava, so between 817 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: Bright Part and Daily Wire it's very interesting. I don't 818 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 1: make a big point of talking about it too much 819 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: for strategic reasons. So I don't know Michael at all, 820 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: but I think he's Candace's kids godfather, I think, or 821 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: something like that, which is that's a horrible position just 822 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: because it's what she does is just it's truly demotic. 823 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: I mean, what she's doing ye the public soona and 824 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: that does put you the ties. It's not family, but 825 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: it's very close to it. It's very hard to criticize 826 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: people like that, and then you sound very stupid when 827 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: you opt out. Also, like Megan Kelly saying that she's 828 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: at criticizing Candace because she's a mother, it's a Erica 829 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: Kirscham mother. Like that argument was terrible. It's a terrible. Yeah, 830 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: it's just a bad argue. I'm not trying to judge 831 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: the entirety of Megan's character. I'm just saying that's not 832 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: a good argument. 833 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, I also think it was Matt Walsh brought up 834 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 5: the fact that Megan Markle is a mother, and in fact, 835 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 5: Megan Markle was pregnant, but that did not stop Megan 836 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 5: Kelly from obsessing over Megan Markles. So she only has 837 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 5: one she has a double standard. There's one standard for 838 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 5: Candaceellins and then a completely different standard for literally everybody else. 839 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 5: But fine, let's not talk about Michael because you're right, 840 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 5: he's in a difficult personal and familial position. I still 841 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 5: think that, nevertheless, we have an obligation. But I digress 842 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 5: in general, Like, let's talk about conservatives as conservatives, right, 843 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 5: we have to define what conservatism is. Ben made this 844 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 5: tremendous speech at Amfest where he said, we need physical 845 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 5: borders for our country, we also. 846 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 3: Need ideological borders. 847 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 5: And we don't have to talk about Candi Sowins or 848 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 5: Israeling though that's the only thing people want to talk about. 849 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 5: Let's talk about like chemical castration, as in, if you 850 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 5: are a doc and you believe that it is the 851 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 5: constitutional right for a seven year old to have their 852 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 5: genitals removed because they were born into the wrong body, 853 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 5: and then you call up Matt slap at Seapack and 854 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 5: you say, Matt, I demand to be given a platform 855 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 5: on the main stage at Sea Pack and talk about 856 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 5: the constitutional right that young Americans have to cut off 857 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 5: their penises. 858 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 3: And when Matt Schlapp inevitably says no, is he. 859 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 5: Silencing my free speech? Is he engaging in cancel culture. No, 860 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 5: he's engaging in common sense, and he is conserving what 861 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 5: it means to be a conservative because there are certain values, 862 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 5: there are certain political propositions that we abhord that we 863 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 5: don't agree with, and you, as the doctor, have every 864 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 5: right to talk about your bizarre theories on chemical castration. 865 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 5: But what you don't have a right to do is 866 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 5: demand that we be giving you a seat at the table. Yeah, 867 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 5: and that used to be obvious, that was the rational, 868 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 5: normative approach, but Israel just demented people's minds. 869 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 3: And now when Ben. 870 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 5: Makes a very similar approach, all of a sudden, it's, 871 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 5: you know, canceling our free speech and attacking the first time. 872 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 4: That's an argument. 873 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot that anybody who disagrees is then 874 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: silencing you, which is not really so. 875 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 4: In fact, it's the in Ben's case, it's actually the oppostion. 876 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 4: And this is where I watched. 877 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: That speech, and there's I agreed with most of it, 878 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: but there was a I didn't love it, partially because 879 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: Ben really boosted Candace's signal and gave her millions of 880 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: dollars to become a much bigger star, and they worked 881 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: night and day to make sure she was an even 882 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,479 Speaker 1: bigger star. And then she has used it to really 883 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: try to bude the entire movement and go after a 884 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: lot of innocent people. And it was just it sort 885 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: of and Ben sort of appointed himself as he's going 886 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: to be the one who's going to shepherd us through 887 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: this moment, and I just is not the right casting 888 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: for me, like as a card carrying. 889 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 4: Conservative movement member. 890 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: But to you to an iStream point earlier also about 891 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: the way we're discussing is real in particular online, I 892 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: can't say anything it Israel without inevitably getting a couple 893 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: of DMS saying that I'm an Israel first, like I'm 894 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: the first America first guy. 895 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 4: I was like the first one here. I was the 896 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 4: guy when Trump's coming. 897 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: Down the escalator, bicking him up and bright part news 898 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: of the front page when everyone else is going, is 899 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 1: this some sort of a joke because you're going to 900 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: do ww E stuff. 901 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 4: I say, no, this guy's going to be the president. 902 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 4: I'm like the first guy there. 903 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: But I'm also Israel first, so it's like, well, i've 904 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 1: never been to Israel. 905 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 3: I like it. 906 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: I think it's great, but it's like I don't know 907 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: about it Israel first. But still that's where the debate goes, 908 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: and you just go, I'm just gonna log off and 909 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: just move on with my life, go play it by kids. 910 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 911 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I'm not just respond to the 912 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 5: Ben thing because to your point, when you used to, 913 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 5: you know, he appointed himself the arbiture of this conservative thing. 914 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 5: I think Ben would be the first one to say, 915 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 5: I don't want to do it. I wish Megan Kelly 916 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 5: did it. I wish Michael Knowles did it. I wish 917 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 5: other people did it. But they're not doing it, so 918 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 5: I'm forced to do it. And I also would agree 919 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 5: because because he wears the hat, because I wear the hat, 920 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 5: we're at a disadvantage because no matter what we say, 921 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 5: and I'll address your question right now, no matter what 922 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 5: we say, it's always like, well shut up, Jew, and 923 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 5: I don't know how to combat that. That's why like 924 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk had a degree of legitimacy and credibility that 925 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 5: I will never have because he had no obvious reason 926 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 5: to care about Israel. He had no obvious reason to 927 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 5: care about, you know, biblical values other than he actually 928 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 5: believed in it, so he would make the exact same 929 00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 5: arguments that someone like Ben Shapiro would. 930 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 3: It went a heck of a lot further. 931 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 5: Because again, it doesn't wear the funny hat, and that's 932 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 5: you know, damning indictment on our political culture. But I 933 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 5: digress in terms of like the Israel first thing, I 934 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 5: get accused of it the whole time, and even though 935 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 5: I respond to it, and I clearly pinpoint where and 936 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 5: why my support of Israel exists. I support American military dominance. 937 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 5: I support the preservation of Western hegemony, which is why 938 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 5: I support Israel. 939 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 3: I support Taiwan. 940 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 5: I support Ukraine, which I know puts me at odds 941 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 5: with other conservatives. But I do that not because I'm 942 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 5: Ukraine first. I do that not because I'm Taiwan first 943 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 5: or Israel first. I do it because it serves the 944 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 5: interests of the American people. If we can essentially halt 945 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 5: the progress of the Russian army with a tenth of. 946 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 3: Our military budget. We would be stupid not to do 947 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 3: that thing. 948 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 5: If we can support an ally where we get what 949 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 5: ninety percent of our semiconductor chips from at a tenth 950 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 5: of the cost, we would be stupid not to do it. 951 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 5: And yes, if we can get another country like Israel 952 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 5: to kill Islamists who have American blood on their hands, 953 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 5: we would be stupid not to do that thing. 954 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 3: And it just bothers me to no end. 955 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 5: And I won't mention names because I really we don't 956 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 5: want to give them a pl platform. But it bothers 957 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 5: me to know end that both prominent voices and voices 958 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 5: on the crazy far right they will denounce. They won't 959 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 5: even listen to any of my arguments. They will just 960 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 5: see the funny hat. They will just see My name 961 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 5: is like straight out of Central casting. 962 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 3: Shabi is custom Baum. 963 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 5: And that is the extent of their political identity that 964 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 5: you know, shut up Jew. And as I said, I 965 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 5: still to this day, you know, this bothers me to 966 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 5: no end. I don't know how to overcome that, because 967 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 5: when you are dealing with a populace or with a 968 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,760 Speaker 5: specific electorate that are not interested in debate or dialogue 969 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 5: or fact. They're just interested in shut up Jew your 970 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 5: name is idiotic. In fact, Nick Fuentt has once said, 971 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 5: just saying the name of Shob is custom Boum sounds 972 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 5: like a hate crime, which admittedly is kind of funny. 973 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 5: I don't know how you're supposed to overcome that. I 974 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 5: don't know how I'm supposed to respond to that. 975 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what's interesting. And one other thing about 976 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: Charlie that you bring him up again, is it? Charlie 977 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: also part of how he kept credibility. He didn't do 978 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: feud culture. When he knew he was disagreeing with people 979 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: he cared about within the movement, he always made sure 980 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: to do it in a really precise way. That was 981 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: part of his genius is that he was able to 982 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: do that in order or he was able to make 983 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: criticisms without alienating people. He had very few enemies on 984 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: the right considering how many bold declarative stances he took 985 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: over time, and a lot of people take things personally 986 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: that if you disagree with their opinion on things, then 987 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: it means you disagree with everything they stand for entirely. 988 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: Is just not the case in general, and we hate 989 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: being treated that way ourselves, and yet we treat others 990 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: that way. And this is not a conservative wide thing. 991 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: I think this is a Internet age America thing, and 992 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 1: probably beyond America. I can only speak as an American 993 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: in this regard. Not a healthy thing. So that's why 994 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: we got to start having some better dialogues. Shavis. I 995 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: always enjoy talking to you. I want you to plug 996 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: the show. I kept you a little longer than I thought. 997 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: You've got plenty to say that I like to hear. 998 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: But tell me again, what is the show and where 999 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: do people get it? 1000 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 3: Sure? 1001 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,439 Speaker 5: Well, the feeling is mutual. It's always a pleasure speaking 1002 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 5: with you, Alex. The show is called Theological. We want 1003 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 5: to encourage young people in America. If you're a Christian, 1004 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 5: you should be going to church far more than you 1005 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 5: currently are. 1006 00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 3: Catholics. 1007 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 5: You need to be going to Mass. Everyone needs to 1008 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 5: be reading the New Testament. The Old Testament doesn't hurt either. 1009 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 5: You need to be living in a life in accordance 1010 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 5: with the teachings of Jesus. America is a Christian country 1011 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 5: and we would be stronger if more Christians tapped into that. 1012 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 5: So our show Theological is really to carry on the 1013 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 5: legacy of Charlie Kirk of getting young people back into 1014 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 5: the pews. And we have a different episode each week, 1015 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 5: a different faith leader talking about important topics relating to religion, 1016 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 5: things like what is Christian Zionism? 1017 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,919 Speaker 3: How do we know that the Bible is true? 1018 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 5: We had Michael Knowles actually discussing where his belief in 1019 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 5: Jesus comes from. 1020 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 3: We had a Catholic exorcist. 1021 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 5: We had a rabbi talking about DNR and abortion and euthanasia, 1022 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,320 Speaker 5: so really important critical discussions.
