Satanists Dedicate Kansas Capitol to Satan (Ep.159) · V

0:00
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report, early edition, Trump
0:04
Speaker 1: mocks Rosie O'Donnell. I know you guys thought that that
0:07
Speaker 1: was from 2016, 2015, but he did it again in
0:10
Speaker 1: a very epic way. A city council unanimously nominates a
0:16
Speaker 1: transgender OnlyFans prostitute with a cannibalism fetish. Satanists dedicate the
0:23
Speaker 1: Kansas state capital to the devil with the approval of
0:27
Speaker 1: the state, I might add. Tom Homan, is harassed by
0:30
Speaker 1: supporters of a detained Columbia student. Netflix's Narnia considers Charlie
0:36
Speaker 1: XCX for the white witch. And a woman who refused
0:40
Speaker 1: to give up her airplane seat for a child sues
0:43
Speaker 1: the airline company. I'm going to need all of your
0:45
Speaker 1: opinions on that one. All this on Bongina Report, early edition.
0:56
Speaker 2: Cold, I'll be back.
1:00
Speaker 1: Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people, great attitude,
1:05
Speaker 1: many in this.
1:05
Speaker 2: Room right now that I've met.
1:07
Speaker 1: Why in the world would you let Rosie O'Donnell move
1:10
Speaker 1: to Ireland? I think she's going to lower your happiness level.
1:13
Speaker 1: That's true. Thank you.
1:14
Speaker 3: I like that question.
1:16
Speaker 4: Do you know who she is?
1:17
Speaker 1: I'm joking.
1:18
Speaker 4: You're better off not knowing.
1:19
Speaker 3: President Trump, do you think?
1:28
Speaker 1: Michael and I were just laughing because if you're listening, Trump,
1:31
Speaker 1: as he's asked this question, he just readjusts. He like
1:34
Speaker 1: sits up a little straighter. He's like, I like that question.
1:37
Speaker 1: And Michael just said, it's exactly what happens when you
1:39
Speaker 1: invite new media into the White House. Can you imagine
1:41
Speaker 1: CNN asking that question? Of course you can't. And I
1:45
Speaker 1: just love this exchange. But can I just say before
1:47
Speaker 1: I delve into the exchange here, Rosie O'Donnell is now
1:51
Speaker 1: a refugee in Ireland. She's fleeing the Trump admin. And
1:55
Speaker 1: I just have to say there are so many celebrities.
1:57
Speaker 1: who in 2016 promised us that they were going to
1:59
Speaker 1: leave the country. And they're still here. They're still here, guys.
2:03
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to leave. It feels like
2:05
Speaker 1: a false promise. It feels like we were told something.
2:10
Speaker 1: We were promised something. And they did not follow through.
2:13
Speaker 2: And I'm really disappointed about it.
2:15
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad Rosie O'Donnell is in Ireland. I
2:17
Speaker 1: really am. But anyway, so Trump, he asked the prime
2:20
Speaker 1: minister of Ireland, do you know who she is? Obviously,
2:23
Speaker 1: the prime minister has no idea who's Rosie O'Donnell. He's
2:26
Speaker 1: the prime minister of Ireland. And then Trump replies, you're
2:29
Speaker 1: better off not knowing. And you guys, I saw that clip.
2:32
Speaker 1: I had to share it because the memories flooded back
2:36
Speaker 1: to me. Trump is such a natural comedian. He's hilarious.
2:41
Speaker 1: I remember, so Trump revolutionized politics, of course. As somebody
2:48
Speaker 1: who was 15, 16 years old during that election cycle,
2:53
Speaker 1: that first time he was elected, I actually had a
2:56
Speaker 1: lot of political perspective because I had been in politics
3:00
Speaker 1: a long time. My dad was elected into Congress in 2010.
3:03
Speaker 1: My parents were involved in politics virtually my entire life.
3:07
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'd always had a feel for
3:09
Speaker 1: what politics is supposed to look like. And I was
3:11
Speaker 1: 15 years old and I'm watching the debates with President
3:14
Speaker 1: Trump and all the other primary candidates, and it was
3:17
Speaker 1: so different. I was shocked. I mean, I couldn't even
3:21
Speaker 1: believe it. Everything that I had known about politics, Trump
3:25
Speaker 1: just threw it all out the window. And imagine if
3:28
Speaker 1: it was surprising to me at 15 what it felt
3:30
Speaker 1: like for someone who's been in politics for decades, like
3:34
Speaker 1: how he just threw the playbook out. And who remembers
3:37
Speaker 1: that iconic moment from 2015? That iconic Rosie O'Donnell moment,
3:42
Speaker 1: expert politicking that I just think we've never seen in
3:46
Speaker 1: this country before. Take a listen.
3:48
Speaker 3: You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs,
3:53
Speaker 3: and disgusting animals.
3:55
Speaker 1: Your Twitter account has several.
3:57
Speaker 3: Only Rosie O'Donnell.
4:03
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. He knew it was so good. He
4:05
Speaker 1: smiles at the end. He's totally smirking. Megyn Kelly can't
4:09
Speaker 1: control the crowd. Like the crowd is going nuts and
4:11
Speaker 1: she can't write it. And she tried to say, no, no, no, no, no.
4:14
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just Rosie at all. And it didn't matter.
4:17
Speaker 1: It didn't matter because it was so flipping funny and
4:21
Speaker 1: it was iconic. Trump is raw. He is real. The
4:24
Speaker 1: guy is a natural comedian. No question about it. His
4:29
Speaker 1: humor isn't polished. It isn't scripted. It is unfiltered. It's
4:32
Speaker 1: off the cuff and it's just so him. And you know,
4:36
Speaker 1: back in 2016, a lot of people people who I know,
4:40
Speaker 1: they weren't sold on President Trump. But by 2020, and
4:44
Speaker 1: especially 2024, a lot of people who'd never have voted
4:49
Speaker 1: for him in 2016 would have crawled over broken glass
4:53
Speaker 1: to get to the polls to cast a vote for
4:56
Speaker 1: this man. That's how much he's just changed the whole game.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's not just that he has changed the style of
5:05
Speaker 1: politics forever, but it's that He actually followed through with
5:09
Speaker 1: so many promises. People thought it was a fluke, that
5:11
Speaker 1: he was a fake, that he was a Democrat, and
5:14
Speaker 1: he never actually changed his ways. He was trying to
5:16
Speaker 1: get into the White House, and they couldn't trust him.
5:18
Speaker 1: And he has proven himself to be such a fighter,
5:22
Speaker 1: even for the pro-life cause. People still in the 2024
5:25
Speaker 1: election were saying, this man's not pro-life. Don't vote for
5:27
Speaker 1: him if you care about life, if you're a real Christian.
5:30
Speaker 1: What did we get with President Trump? The overturning of
5:33
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade, the biggest pro-life, pro-life pillar that needed
5:39
Speaker 1: to be toppled down. Pro-choice, pro-abortion pillar needed to be
5:43
Speaker 1: toppled down. Now it's up to the states. That's thanks
5:47
Speaker 1: to President Trump, who we were told by a lot
5:49
Speaker 1: of people in the pro-life movement, we can't trust him.
5:53
Speaker 1: And by the way, my wedding anniversary happens to be
5:55
Speaker 1: the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which is a really
5:58
Speaker 1: special day. So I don't know, you guys, love him
6:00
Speaker 1: or hate him. Trump has turned politics upside down. He
6:04
Speaker 1: has followed through on so many promises and That 2015
6:07
Speaker 1: debate moment, it is still unforgettable. I am still laughing
6:11
Speaker 1: about it. I just had to share that with you guys.
6:13
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a quick break. When
6:14
Speaker 1: we come back, I do have some heavier stories for you.
6:17
Speaker 1: Some crazy things are happening in Washington state and even
6:22
Speaker 1: crazier things in Kansas. Don't go anywhere. It may not
6:26
Speaker 1: seem like it. Maybe it does seem like it, but
6:29
Speaker 1: you guys, I'm exhausted right now. I did not sleep
6:32
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't even want to tell you how
6:34
Speaker 1: little I have slept. Yes, last night and last week,
6:37
Speaker 1: I'm running ragged. And let me tell you, Helix is
6:40
Speaker 1: making it really difficult for me to get out of
6:41
Speaker 1: bed these days because it is so comfortable. I love it.
6:45
Speaker 1: And I really, I don't sleep enough. And that mattress,
6:49
Speaker 1: it makes it hard for me to get out of
6:50
Speaker 1: bed because it is that comfortable. All right, let's get
6:53
Speaker 1: into some of these heavier topics. Washington State. This next story,
6:58
Speaker 1: I don't think it could happen anywhere else other than
7:01
Speaker 1: the state of Washington. The Linwood City Council in Washington
7:06
Speaker 1: state unanimously appointed a man named Jessica Ann Roberts, born
7:11
Speaker 1: Neil Vincent Roberts, to fill a vacant seat on their
7:15
Speaker 1: city council. And Roberts, just for a little context on
7:19
Speaker 1: this individual, he's a transgender identifying male OnlyFans online prostitute
7:25
Speaker 1: who has a cannibalism fetish. Yep, He's posted on social
7:29
Speaker 1: media about having an uncontrollable desire to impregnate women and
7:33
Speaker 1: eat them. Roberts' OnlyFans account, which he deactivated on Monday, understandably,
7:39
Speaker 1: included 12 videos and 63 photographs of sexually explicit content.
7:44
Speaker 1: And in his account bio, Roberts described himself as a
7:47
Speaker 1: bisexual trans woman with itty bitty titties and a big
7:51
Speaker 1: girl cock. Yep. This is who's leading the city council.
7:57
Speaker 1: Roberts issued several posts earlier this year on Reddit. I'm
8:01
Speaker 1: going to read you a couple of them. Churning meat
8:05
Speaker 1: girl after meat girl before I fully disposed of my
8:07
Speaker 1: last meal is the best feeling. And then he says,
8:11
Speaker 1: I love the idea of grabbing a pretty girl and
8:14
Speaker 1: using her as a breeding pet. And once I've gotten
8:16
Speaker 1: her pregnant, sharing her with my fellow trans femmes. Guys,
8:23
Speaker 1: this is why standards work. matter. This is why a
8:27
Speaker 1: moral code, deeper than just feelings, is so important. I
8:33
Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to what happened when
8:35
Speaker 1: Representative Keith Self called transgender-identifying male Representative Sarah McBride, Mr.
8:42
Speaker 1: this week. You've probably seen this video already, but there's
8:45
Speaker 1: a really relevant point to make, so just listen to
8:49
Speaker 1: this for some context.
8:50
Speaker 3: I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride. Thank you,
8:56
Speaker 3: Madam Chair.
8:58
Speaker 1: Ranking Member Keating, also wonderful. Mr. Chairman, could you repeat
9:01
Speaker 1: your introduction again, please?
9:03
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a, we have set the standard on the
9:08
Speaker 3: floor of the House, and I'm simply... What is that standard, Mr.
9:12
Speaker 2: Chairman?
9:14
Speaker 3: Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced
9:17
Speaker 3: a duly elected representative from the United States of America, please?
9:21
Speaker 3: I will. The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride. Mr.
9:27
Speaker 1: Chairman, you are out of order. Mr.
9:30
Speaker 3: Chairman, have you no decency?
9:34
Speaker 1: Have you no decency? It's indecent and out of order
9:39
Speaker 1: to acknowledge biological reality in Congress these days and acknowledge
9:44
Speaker 1: it with one word, Mr. It's indecent. I want you
9:49
Speaker 1: to listen to what OutKick podcast host Tommy Lahren said
9:55
Speaker 1: about this exchange. Again, really relevant to this conversation. Take
9:58
Speaker 1: a listen. Take a listen closely to what she said. says.
10:00
Speaker 4: There is a representative who is transgender. Sarah McBride was
10:05
Speaker 4: purposely referred to as Mr.
10:07
Speaker 1: And it's getting a lot of traction.
10:09
Speaker 4: I feel like it's mean spirited to do it just
10:12
Speaker 4: to be mean. Now that doesn't mean that I want
10:14
Speaker 4: transgender people in women's sports or women's spaces. because that
10:18
Speaker 4: has an actual, physical, tangible impact.
10:24
Speaker 1: It's mean. It's mean-spirited to call Mr. McBride, Mr. You
10:31
Speaker 1: should call him ma'am. And use she, her pronouns to
10:34
Speaker 1: his face, according to Tommy Lahren, because that's the kind
10:38
Speaker 1: thing to do. But Christians aren't called to merely be nice.
10:45
Speaker 1: We are called to defend truth.
10:49
Speaker 3: St.
10:50
Speaker 1: Augustine argued that failing to correct error out of desire
10:55
Speaker 1: to avoid conflict is not love but cowardice. We should
11:00
Speaker 1: want the best for people, and sometimes that requires something
11:03
Speaker 1: called tough love. If you're a parent, you know what
11:05
Speaker 1: it is. It doesn't mean you have to be over
11:07
Speaker 1: the top and cruel. There are ways of doing things,
11:11
Speaker 1: and simply and calmly saying Mr. in front of a
11:13
Speaker 1: national audience so as not to set a public precedent
11:17
Speaker 1: that men can be women is not cruel. That congressman
11:21
Speaker 1: was not being cruel when he called Mr. McBride, Mr. St.
11:28
Speaker 1: Augustine wrote in matters of truth, charity is served by
11:32
Speaker 1: holding to the truth, not by yielding to error for
11:35
Speaker 1: the sake of peace. Defending the good in 2024 often
11:41
Speaker 1: requires the courage to speak hard truths because superficial niceness
11:48
Speaker 1: enables evil. When we are looking to what is good
11:53
Speaker 1: and true in Christianity, we are blinded by this obsession
11:56
Speaker 1: with niceness. This is why I said that we need
11:59
Speaker 1: a moral standard, deeper, more concrete. That is Christianity. That's
12:05
Speaker 1: more than just what feels right. It isn't nice to
12:09
Speaker 1: say that a transgender-identifying male online prostitute with a publicly
12:16
Speaker 1: documented cannibalism fetish shouldn't hold public office. Is that what
12:21
Speaker 1: we're saying? Who are we to judge? He was born
12:24
Speaker 1: this way, as Lady Gaga would say. Only a society
12:29
Speaker 1: that has lost its moral compass, having forsaken the Christian
12:32
Speaker 1: truths that once guided it, would ever even entertain such
12:36
Speaker 1: a question as who are we to judge when we're
12:40
Speaker 1: talking about having a transgender identifying online prostitute with a
12:45
Speaker 1: cannibalism fetish leading a community of people. It would be
12:51
Speaker 1: inconceivable for a real Christian society, but we've descended so
12:56
Speaker 1: far away from that that we are, again, like I said,
13:00
Speaker 1: blinded by this idea of niceness, of tolerance. Clearly, this
13:05
Speaker 1: idea of constant tolerance is cancerous. You can't tolerate evil.
13:10
Speaker 1: And this unchecked relativism coming from our own side is
13:14
Speaker 1: eroding all of our standards. And trust me, This is
13:17
Speaker 1: a huge problem for conservatives. Conservatism is always incrementally moving
13:21
Speaker 1: the goalposts so that one day you're defending the sanctity
13:25
Speaker 1: of marriage, and the next day you're saying, well, if
13:28
Speaker 1: you're an adult, you can trans yourself, but not kids.
13:32
Speaker 1: And then we say, well, maybe if you're a kid,
13:34
Speaker 1: but you're not an infant. Where does it end? How
13:37
Speaker 1: far are we going to take this? One other example
13:42
Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about. Satanists in Kansas are participating
13:46
Speaker 1: in a, quote, black mass, dedicating the state capital of
13:50
Speaker 1: Kansas to the devil himself. Yep, a group called the
13:55
Speaker 1: Satanic Grotto has been given the green light by the
13:58
Speaker 1: Kansas Capitol event coordinator to hold their, quote, capital dedication
14:02
Speaker 1: to Satan on March 28th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
14:07
Speaker 1: And per the Satanic Grotto Facebook page, they will be
14:10
Speaker 1: performing rites, to the black mass and indulging in sacrilegious blasphemy.
14:15
Speaker 1: And then it says, God will fall and Kansas will
14:17
Speaker 1: be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer. Michael says
14:23
Speaker 1: it makes it hard to be a libertarian. And we're
14:25
Speaker 1: going to take down libertarianism today. This is an anti-libertarianism
14:29
Speaker 1: show right now. This is why Michael Knowles said that
14:31
Speaker 1: Michael and I, my husband Michael and I are in
14:33
Speaker 1: a mixed marriage because I am very traditionalist and Michael's
14:37
Speaker 1: a little more of a libertarian. So we get into
14:40
Speaker 1: some arguments. But the argument from people like Michael is often, well,
14:45
Speaker 1: cities let churches put up nativity scenes and they say
14:50
Speaker 1: prayers on public grounds and in state houses. We can't
14:54
Speaker 1: be discriminating against other religions like the Church of Satan.
14:57
Speaker 1: They're a religion too. Really? What do the founders of
15:02
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence have to say about this? This is,
15:08
Speaker 1: I'm going to quote the Declaration. For the support of
15:11
Speaker 1: this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of
15:14
Speaker 1: divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives,
15:21
Speaker 1: our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Let me just repeat
15:24
Speaker 1: that first part. For the support of this declaration, with
15:27
Speaker 1: a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence. And
15:33
Speaker 1: that's just one example of the founders evoking God in
15:38
Speaker 1: the declarations. God, as divine providence, gave the founders divine
15:43
Speaker 1: protection and legitimacy to create this entire country. But the
15:48
Speaker 1: state can't differentiate between Satanism and Christianity because meritocracy or something?
15:53
Speaker 1: Give me a break. The state's endorsement of Satanists dedicating
15:56
Speaker 1: Kansas to the devil not only is a betrayal of
15:59
Speaker 1: the state's own responsibility to uphold the public good, but
16:02
Speaker 1: it's also a reckless assault on the spiritual and civic
16:06
Speaker 1: foundations of the United States. And guys, this is why
16:10
Speaker 1: libertarianism doesn't work. Because I can't make that distinction if
16:14
Speaker 1: I'm a libertarian. It's all about relativism and meritocracy. And
16:19
Speaker 1: there can't be a moral hierarchy because that's not the
16:22
Speaker 1: government's role. The founding fathers, libertarians, I'm sorry, they would
16:26
Speaker 1: disagree with you because they evoked God so many times.
16:32
Speaker 1: Our nation was founded as a Christian nation. John Adams
16:36
Speaker 1: said it was made... solely for a moral and religious people.
16:41
Speaker 1: They knew that with the amount of amazing liberty that
16:46
Speaker 1: the people were getting, there needed to be a moral
16:50
Speaker 1: code guiding the people. Without that, without Christianity, without that foundation,
16:57
Speaker 1: we get the trancing of children. We get a elected official,
17:02
Speaker 1: or I guess an appointed official, who's an OnlyFans online prostitute,
17:08
Speaker 1: and who has a cannibalism fetish, we get Satanists in
17:12
Speaker 1: Kansas dedicating the Kansas capital to the devil himself. That's
17:18
Speaker 1: what we get with relativism. This is the fruits of it.
17:23
Speaker 1: And we have to be able to call out evil
17:27
Speaker 1: wherever it is personally, but also the government needs to
17:32
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Because again, the founders never
17:36
Speaker 1: intended for this kind of relativism, moral relativism, this kind
17:42
Speaker 1: of unchecked meritocracy that's completely contrary to the public good.
17:48
Speaker 1: That was never the intent. But I still love Michael. Yes,
17:54
Speaker 1: I am reminded. I still love Michael despite his libertarian shortcomings.
17:58
Speaker 1: I just have a lot of disagreements on this issue.
18:02
Speaker 1: You guys will have no idea how many times Michael
18:04
Speaker 1: and I argue back and forth on this. And I
18:06
Speaker 1: feel bad because he has to sit there. He can't
18:07
Speaker 1: talk about it. He doesn't have a mic. He says,
18:10
Speaker 1: just wait for the new studio. And he's right about that. Well,
18:13
Speaker 1: he'll interject a little bit. He'll give me some pushback.
18:14
Speaker 1: And it'll be like what it's like at the dinner
18:16
Speaker 1: table at home with us. But guys, libertarianism, it's not
18:21
Speaker 1: the answer.
18:22
Speaker 2: All right.
18:23
Speaker 1: I do want to cover the story everyone has been
18:25
Speaker 1: talking about this week. I haven't gotten to it, and
18:27
Speaker 1: now I feel like I have to give my take
18:29
Speaker 1: here because I've spent some time thinking about it. So
18:32
Speaker 1: a guy named Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian, so a foreigner activist,
18:36
Speaker 1: and a Columbia University graduate, previous graduate student, was detained
18:41
Speaker 1: this week by ICE. Now, Khalil was involved in spearheading
18:46
Speaker 1: the Columbia protests. last spring, which included essentially occupying parts
18:50
Speaker 1: of campus and restricting freedom of movement for other students.
18:55
Speaker 1: No formal charges have been filed against this man, but
18:58
Speaker 1: in a statement to NBC News on Sunday, a DHS
19:02
Speaker 1: security spokesperson, DHS spokesperson said Khalil was arrested in coordination
19:07
Speaker 1: with ICE and the State Department, quote, in support of
19:10
Speaker 1: President Trump's executive orders prohibiting antisemitism, end quote. They are
19:16
Speaker 1: detaining him officially, for being anti-Semitic. And in a statement
19:20
Speaker 1: on truth, President Trump described Khalil as pro-Hamas, which is
19:25
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization, of course. And per federal law, I
19:28
Speaker 1: did some digging into this. I actually was like, what
19:29
Speaker 1: does the language really say? So I can actually know
19:32
Speaker 1: what's going on here. And an immigrant here on a
19:35
Speaker 1: visa can be deported for engaging, and this is a quote,
19:38
Speaker 1: engaging in a terrorist activity. And it's pretty broad what
19:42
Speaker 1: is a terrorist activity. It doesn't mean that you're carrying
19:44
Speaker 1: out terrorist acts necessarily. This law says, and I'm going to, again,
19:49
Speaker 1: quote you guys. endorsing or espousing terrorist activity or persuading
19:54
Speaker 1: others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a
19:58
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. So it's very broad. It doesn't mean that
20:02
Speaker 1: he's a member of Hamas, but if he is doing
20:05
Speaker 1: things that seem to be supportive of Hamas or he's
20:08
Speaker 1: encouraging others to do things that are somewhat supportive of Hamas,
20:11
Speaker 1: that is grounds for deportation. And this kid is actually,
20:15
Speaker 1: if he is a supporter of Hamas, this admin, again,
20:19
Speaker 1: totally in their right to deport him. This is, I
20:23
Speaker 1: read it. I read it to you guys out loud,
20:24
Speaker 1: like they have the right. I will say though, I
20:27
Speaker 1: haven't personally seen any evidence that Khalil is explicitly pro-Hamas,
20:31
Speaker 1: but it's possible that the admin will come out with
20:33
Speaker 1: some more evidence once the real charges have been brought
20:36
Speaker 1: against him, if there will be charges brought against him.
20:38
Speaker 1: So we'll see on that front. Again, I'm not, I
20:41
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he was explicitly pro-Hamas as he
20:44
Speaker 1: was spearheading this organization and he's a Palestinian student. We
20:47
Speaker 1: don't know, though. And I'm just going to be real
20:49
Speaker 1: with you guys. I actually personally don't think the government
20:52
Speaker 1: should need criminal charges to deport aliens, legal or illegal,
20:56
Speaker 1: in this country. I don't even think they need to
20:58
Speaker 1: be terror sympathizers. I think that the government can just
21:01
Speaker 1: deport you for any reason whatsoever. If you are an
21:04
Speaker 1: alien in this country, you don't have the same rights
21:06
Speaker 1: as citizens. I don't know why this is confusing for people,
21:08
Speaker 1: but you don't have the same rights as U.S. citizens. Now,
21:12
Speaker 1: nobody can kill you. Nobody can rape you and hurt
21:14
Speaker 1: you and violate basic human rights. But the right to
21:19
Speaker 1: be in this country, that's reserved for citizens. Nobody has
21:23
Speaker 1: a right to be here unless you are an American citizen.
21:26
Speaker 1: You don't. Not everyone seems to agree with this.
21:30
Speaker 2: This is completely....
21:33
Speaker 1: Flies in the face of a federal law in reality,
21:35
Speaker 1: but whatever, that's a lot of people these days. So
21:37
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people acting absolutely hysterical on
21:40
Speaker 1: the left about this young man being detained by ICE.
21:44
Speaker 1: And I want you to look at them losing their
21:46
Speaker 1: minds at Tom Holman yesterday in the New York State Capitol.
21:50
Speaker 1: This is very deranged. Take a listen.
22:03
Speaker 2: They're just screaming.
22:16
Speaker 1: They've completely lost their minds. And guys, I got to
22:20
Speaker 1: tell you, when I saw that, but especially when I
22:25
Speaker 1: saw those protests last spring, I had a really... unexpected
22:29
Speaker 1: visceral reaction. I didn't think I was going to feel
22:31
Speaker 1: this way. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, who knows
22:33
Speaker 1: that I was going to feel, but I was flooded
22:36
Speaker 1: with these memories of when I was in college and
22:39
Speaker 1: I was abused by these little Marxist scolds because I
22:43
Speaker 1: didn't conform with them politically. I didn't agree with them ideologically.
22:47
Speaker 1: And so they were horrible to me. It reminded me
22:50
Speaker 1: of being in college and getting death threats and constant
22:53
Speaker 1: online harassment from people who I previously thought were my friends.
22:57
Speaker 1: It brought back so many memories. It was like I
23:01
Speaker 1: knew that type of student that was occupying the campus,
23:05
Speaker 1: and it was just... It brought back a lot. Seeing
23:12
Speaker 1: them occupy campuses, restrict movement, replace the American flag with
23:18
Speaker 1: the Palestinian one, it was enraging. And I was really
23:23
Speaker 1: proud of my friends who were still on campus, Last spring,
23:26
Speaker 1: who I had been in school with, they really stood
23:29
Speaker 1: up for this country during that time. I can't even
23:32
Speaker 1: describe to you guys how proud I was of my
23:34
Speaker 1: friends who were still there because there was a similar
23:37
Speaker 1: occupation at the University of Chicago like what they had
23:39
Speaker 1: at Columbia. Here's my friend Mitch Robson trying to just
23:44
Speaker 1: get to class and being completely inhibited by these students
23:49
Speaker 1: who have just taken over.
23:50
Speaker 3: All right, I'll just start here.
23:53
Speaker 1: Hey, Aaron. Hey, what's up, man?
23:56
Speaker 3: I'm passing through.
23:57
Speaker 1: Globalizing Tabata. All right. And then you have these masked individuals.
24:02
Speaker 3: Coming up and covering. Girl, this isn't basketball.
24:03
Speaker 1: Stop setting a pick on me, man. Stopping from moving.
24:05
Speaker 2: All right. What's up, man?
24:08
Speaker 1: I notice how they're always masked. All right. Yep. Hey,
24:17
Speaker 1: what's up?
24:19
Speaker 3: What's up? I'm getting surrounded right.
24:21
Speaker 1: Now, dog. Mitch is a libertarian, I will say, you guys.
24:23
Speaker 1: But I love Mitch. He's awesome. Now, so it gets
24:26
Speaker 1: even better, and I'm going to tell you why I
24:27
Speaker 1: was actually really proud of my friends at UChicago. Mitch
24:30
Speaker 1: was just walking through campus. He was like, I don't care.
24:32
Speaker 1: I'm going to get through it. Mitch, by the way,
24:34
Speaker 1: is a Jewish student. He was like, I'm just going
24:35
Speaker 1: to walk through. You guys aren't going to stop me
24:37
Speaker 1: from using my campus. And kudos to him for being
24:40
Speaker 1: that brave. Some of my friends, including Mitch, still on campus,
24:44
Speaker 1: actually confronted these pro-Palestine students because they were going to
24:48
Speaker 1: take down the Palestinian flag off the flagpole on campus
24:51
Speaker 1: and raise up the American flag.
24:53
Speaker 2: Take a look.
25:05
Speaker 1: It was a frat bro protest, so I think all
25:07
Speaker 1: the Jewish students from the Jewish frat showed up, as
25:11
Speaker 1: well as my friends from the Chicago Thinker. It was
25:14
Speaker 1: a really, really cool moment. This is an edit someone
25:17
Speaker 1: made of them actually breaking the wall of people, of
25:22
Speaker 1: the Palestinian protesters. pro-Palestine protesters. By the way, the guy
25:26
Speaker 1: in the cowboy hat that was in that video, that'll
25:28
Speaker 1: be in this video. His name is Arthur Long. Really
25:30
Speaker 1: great guy.
25:31
Speaker 2: Let's play that.
25:35
Speaker 1: You're just pushing through. You're like, we're going to carry
25:38
Speaker 1: the American flag. We're going to walk through these crazy people.
25:41
Speaker 1: It's like the most powerful, amazing moment. And the flag
25:45
Speaker 1: is flying. And your Chicago campus is gorgeous. I guys, again,
25:48
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm so proud of them. And these
25:51
Speaker 1: campus occupations were unacceptable. You don't get to block students
25:55
Speaker 1: and professors who have an equal right to access the campus.
25:59
Speaker 1: You don't have a right to say, you guys can't
26:01
Speaker 1: move freely. And replacing American flags with Palestinian ones, that's
26:05
Speaker 1: a hard no. Absurd. And yeah, I mean, the photos
26:11
Speaker 1: from this thing were so great. Again, you guys, I
26:13
Speaker 1: was so proud of my friends. But, and there's a
26:16
Speaker 1: but here, you guys, because I'm going to tell you
26:19
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit puzzled by this ICE detention, by
26:25
Speaker 1: this potential deportation. I'm gonna tell you why, because in 2020,
26:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody has some memory of that time,
26:35
Speaker 1: but in 2020, Marxist college students carried out an assault
26:39
Speaker 1: on the United States of America. This country, the United
26:42
Speaker 1: States of America, this country, they smeared it as racist.
26:46
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter rioters were explicitly Marxist-inspired. And that ideology
26:53
Speaker 1: is coming from the college campuses. It's the same ideology
26:56
Speaker 1: that inspired the pro-Palestine occupation on college campuses. But in 2020,
27:02
Speaker 1: far worse, let me repeat, far worse than occupying college campuses,
27:08
Speaker 1: these BLM rioters, which included countless college students, they toppled
27:14
Speaker 1: statues of the founding fathers, they ransacked cities, engaging in vandalism, looting,
27:19
Speaker 1: and arson, and yet there were no calls to deport
27:23
Speaker 1: the foreign students who took part in the destruction. None.
27:28
Speaker 1: There were no congressional hearings about anti-white racism or hatred
27:32
Speaker 1: of America like there were about anti-Semitism and Israel hatred
27:37
Speaker 1: in Congress. Actually, both Democrat and Republican members of Congress
27:43
Speaker 1: voiced their support for those criminals consumed by a seething
27:47
Speaker 1: hatred for this nation and the legacy of our founding fathers.
27:53
Speaker 1: Harvard now officially states that, and this is a quote,
27:58
Speaker 1: claiming that the existence of the state of Israel is
28:00
Speaker 1: a racist endeavor is, I'm sorry, this is a quote,
28:05
Speaker 1: claiming the existence of the state of Israel as a
28:07
Speaker 1: racist endeavor is anti-Semitic. So you cannot call Israel a
28:12
Speaker 1: racist endeavor without being labeled anti-Semitic by the university, and
28:17
Speaker 1: risking violation of Harvard University's non-discrimination and anti-bullying policies. Has
28:24
Speaker 1: it been deemed that claiming that the existence of the
28:27
Speaker 1: United States is a racist endeavor, anti-American, at any university?
28:33
Speaker 1: Is it anti-American to say that America is a racist country? No.
28:38
Speaker 1: Has it been labeled that officially by any university? Does
28:40
Speaker 1: it violate any non-discrimination or anti-bullying policies? No, because again,
28:45
Speaker 1: it's not deemed anti-American. In fact, saying America is racist
28:50
Speaker 1: is baked into the curriculum of all these schools. This
28:53
Speaker 1: is what they teach. And by the way, I don't
28:56
Speaker 1: think that anti-American sentiment or anti-Semitism should be defined and
29:01
Speaker 1: potentially punishable for American college students because these are thought crimes.
29:06
Speaker 1: They are subjective. And they're an absurd thing to punish
29:11
Speaker 1: people over if you sincerely believe and authentic free inquiry
29:15
Speaker 1: on campus. President Trump vowed on Truth Social to find, apprehend,
29:21
Speaker 1: and deport these terrorist sympathizers in our country and never
29:26
Speaker 1: to allow them to return again. But are we applying
29:29
Speaker 1: the same standard to the foreign-born BLM rioters who targeted
29:32
Speaker 1: America itself? Or is the administration's wrath only reserved for
29:36
Speaker 1: those who target Israel and Jews? I think it's bizarre.
29:40
Speaker 1: We seem to care more about attacks on a foreign
29:42
Speaker 1: nation than our own country. And look, like I said,
29:45
Speaker 1: I didn't like those campus occupations. I hated them. The
29:48
Speaker 1: vast majority of those students were motivated by Marxism. They
29:51
Speaker 1: don't care about Palestinians. I see right through that crap.
29:55
Speaker 1: I know those kids. And I think Khalil can be
29:58
Speaker 1: rightfully deported irrespective of whether he's even a terrorist sympathizer.
30:01
Speaker 1: I don't even care about that question. Deport him. Deport
30:04
Speaker 1: anyone you want who's an alien to this country. Most
30:06
Speaker 1: of them shouldn't be here at all. But I'm just
30:09
Speaker 1: deeply puzzled by the double standard here. Because my concern,
30:14
Speaker 1: first and foremost, as an American, is this country. Is
30:19
Speaker 1: the mythos and the identity and the survival of this country.
30:23
Speaker 1: And I am really disturbed by that so many Americans
30:26
Speaker 1: and especially members of Congress and people in this administration
30:29
Speaker 1: don't seem to feel the same way. All right, switching
30:33
Speaker 1: gears here. Netflix is creating a Narnia movie, which again,
30:38
Speaker 1: nobody asked for. Nobody wants Narnia movie. They made a
30:40
Speaker 1: great one in 2005 and it was wonderful. Michael says
30:43
Speaker 1: it was not that great, but it actually was great.
30:45
Speaker 1: He's wrong about that. That Narnia movie that came out
30:47
Speaker 1: in 05 from Disney was good. And I thought the
30:50
Speaker 1: other ones were good too. They were so well done. Anyways,
30:53
Speaker 1: so Netflix is remaking Narnia. Nobody asked for this. It's
30:57
Speaker 1: going to be directed by the Barbie director, Greta Gerwig.
31:01
Speaker 1: And Hollywood sources are now saying that Charlie XCX is
31:05
Speaker 1: one of the top choices for a key role, potentially Jadis,
31:09
Speaker 1: the White Witch in the Narnia series. Now, who is
31:13
Speaker 1: Charlie XCX? She is the British singer whose song Apple
31:16
Speaker 1: from the album Brat went mega viral in support of
31:20
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and her campaigns. People are saying that Kamala,
31:24
Speaker 1: people were saying Kamala is brat. And they were, if
31:28
Speaker 1: you don't know what that is, you guys, I barely
31:30
Speaker 1: know what that is. I'm done explaining Kamala and I
31:33
Speaker 1: am brat. But there were a lot of dances to
31:37
Speaker 1: the brat song in support of Kamala Harris. Let's play
31:41
Speaker 1: that video, Mikey, just so people know what we're talking about.
31:43
Speaker 1: There's a whole dance to it. Everybody did the same thing.
31:53
Speaker 1: And again, it was like all for some reason in
31:55
Speaker 1: support of Kamala Harris. I'm not sure exactly how this
31:59
Speaker 1: was like going to help her win the election. And
32:01
Speaker 1: obviously it didn't, but they were all over everyone's feet, right?
32:05
Speaker 1: We had all these videos. Charlie XCX almost was like
32:06
Speaker 1: synonymous with Kamala Harris. Charlie XCX is brat. Kamala Harris
32:10
Speaker 1: is brat. They do this little dance song. It was
32:12
Speaker 1: like a symbol of the Kamala campaign. Now we also
32:16
Speaker 1: learned that the Narnia movie that no one asked for
32:18
Speaker 1: is going to be rock and roll themed, potentially, whatever
32:22
Speaker 1: that means. So Narnia is going to be rock and
32:24
Speaker 1: roll themed. We're going to get Charlie XCX. And I'm
32:26
Speaker 1: going to tell you guys, here's what my big fear is.
32:30
Speaker 1: Greta Gerwig and Charlie XCX, they're girl bosses. They're the
32:33
Speaker 1: epitome of modern feminism. They're defining it culturally all the time.
32:40
Speaker 1: Cultural feminism has poster girls as Greta Gerwig and Charlie XCX.
32:45
Speaker 1: And I think Greta Gerwig will want to turn the
32:48
Speaker 1: White Witch into an empowered anti-heroine and make her a
32:52
Speaker 1: figure of cultural disruption in a positive way. That's my
32:56
Speaker 1: fear with this spinoff, this reimagining of Narnia.
33:01
Speaker 3: C.S.
33:01
Speaker 1: Lewis wrote the White Witch as a clear symbol of evil.
33:06
Speaker 1: She embodied Satan's pride, deception, and rebellion against divine order,
33:12
Speaker 1: against God himself. She's supposed to be Satan in a
33:16
Speaker 1: fur coat. That's the White Witch. I mean, he was very, C.S.
33:21
Speaker 1: Lewis was very explicit about the allegories he was making
33:24
Speaker 1: in the Narnia series. Like, this is not disputed. White Witch,
33:30
Speaker 1: Satan in a fur coat. Jadis is prideful. She wipes
33:34
Speaker 1: out land in her home planet to just flex her power,
33:38
Speaker 1: just like Satan subverted God's creation. Jadis' eternal winter and
33:42
Speaker 1: her tyrannical rule over Narnia is in a fallen world.
33:47
Speaker 1: is only redeemed by Aslan and Aslan's Christ-like sacrifice. I mean,
33:52
Speaker 1: does this sound familiar to the biblical story, you guys?
33:54
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. It's totally allegorical. This is what
33:58
Speaker 1: we're talking about. So my fear is we're just going
34:00
Speaker 1: to flip C.S. Lewis' story about good and evil and
34:03
Speaker 1: turn it into some sort of feminist anthem, which is
34:06
Speaker 1: what Greta Gerwig always does. And Charlie XCX is the
34:10
Speaker 1: embodiment of we're going to have like Jadis is this
34:14
Speaker 1: morally gray character and she's misunderstood. And really she's kind
34:17
Speaker 1: of cool. Like how Disney made Maleficent in beauty and
34:20
Speaker 1: the beast, actually kind of a cool, good character with
34:22
Speaker 1: this like backstory that explains why she's evil. I'm like,
34:25
Speaker 1: I'm sick of that. Can we just have some good
34:27
Speaker 1: and evil, some black and white stories? Like why does
34:29
Speaker 1: everything have to be morally gray? And in life, there's
34:32
Speaker 1: a lot of moral gray area, but when you're talking
34:34
Speaker 1: about children's stories and we're trying to teach children about
34:37
Speaker 1: the good and the true and the beautiful, you have
34:39
Speaker 1: to portray evil, right? That is why you have the
34:43
Speaker 1: White Witch who is so transparently evil. She's the devil.
34:47
Speaker 1: And then you have Aslan who is Christ. This wouldn't
34:52
Speaker 1: be a creative tweak that I am imagining will probably
34:56
Speaker 1: happen in this remake. It would be a cultural erasure
34:58
Speaker 1: of the West's spiritual heritage. And I know that sounds
35:01
Speaker 1: crazy and far out, but it's true. Replacing the battle
35:07
Speaker 1: between divine good and evil with a trendy secular feminist narrative,
35:11
Speaker 1: is an attack on our civilization, I think. As a
35:17
Speaker 1: classic story like Narnia, which is so widely read by
35:20
Speaker 1: the youth in this country, to twist it in that way,
35:23
Speaker 1: distort its purpose. And for a civilization built on Christianity,
35:28
Speaker 1: this is one more example of Hollywood diluting the moral
35:31
Speaker 1: clarity that shaped our art, ethics, identity for centuries. Replacing
35:35
Speaker 1: it with a hollow, gratified version of sacred story that
35:38
Speaker 1: no longer challenges sin, but would actually celebrate it. Remember
35:42
Speaker 1: what I said earlier in the show about tolerating evil
35:46
Speaker 1: and then celebrating evil? And it's just a slippery slope
35:49
Speaker 1: when you don't have a moral code rooted in something concrete.
35:54
Speaker 1: This is what we get. Girl boss, white witch was
35:58
Speaker 1: actually not that bad. It's kind of cool. And like
36:00
Speaker 1: you guys, I don't know if that's actually going to happen,
36:02
Speaker 1: but this is my bet. I think it's going to happen,
36:04
Speaker 1: especially if Charlie XCX is the White Witch. And you
36:08
Speaker 1: guys can call me out if I'm wrong, but I
36:10
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna be wrong about this one.
36:12
Speaker 2: I don't, you guys.
36:12
Speaker 1: I know Greta Gerwig. I know Charlie XCX. I can
36:15
Speaker 1: see what's coming. All right, I got to get to this.
36:18
Speaker 1: I got your opinions on this is what I really want.
36:21
Speaker 1: So a woman who refused to give up her airplane
36:24
Speaker 1: seat to a child has filed a lawsuit against the
36:27
Speaker 1: airline and the passenger who recorded The incident, by the way,
36:30
Speaker 1: the person who recorded this incident was not the mother
36:32
Speaker 1: of this child, just some random person. And the woman
36:35
Speaker 1: said in the statement, since that incident, my life has
36:39
Speaker 1: taken a turn. I could never have imagined what could
36:41
Speaker 1: have been just an ordinary flight turned into an extremely
36:44
Speaker 1: embarrassing situation, exposing me unfairly and causing consequences that affected
36:49
Speaker 1: both my personal and professional life. I'm not going to
36:52
Speaker 1: play the video of this because it's in, it's all
36:54
Speaker 1: in Portuguese. This woman is Brazilian. The airline is not
36:57
Speaker 1: an American airline. Well, Gui is Brazilian. He knows Portuguese.
37:01
Speaker 1: Maybe he can translate it for us and we can
37:03
Speaker 1: talk about it later. But like I said, this is
37:10
Speaker 1: something that happens a lot. Oddly enough, people go online
37:12
Speaker 1: and they complain about others trying to have them move
37:15
Speaker 1: their seat and they paid for the seat. And so
37:19
Speaker 1: if you pay for a window seat and then some
37:22
Speaker 1: mom wants you to switch because of her child and
37:25
Speaker 1: you say, no, thank you. I already paid for the seat.
37:28
Speaker 1: people on the internet will defend you. And then some
37:30
Speaker 1: people will be like, no, you're an evil person. You're
37:31
Speaker 1: a bad person. I kind of sympathize with that a
37:34
Speaker 1: little bit. Like if you paid for your seat, you
37:36
Speaker 1: want to sit at the window. And then somebody says, Oh,
37:37
Speaker 1: move for my child. Pretty ridiculous, a pretty ridiculous thing
37:41
Speaker 1: to say. Now at the same time, I have traveled
37:47
Speaker 1: with all of my siblings. I've traveled without, without parents
37:51
Speaker 1: and multiple siblings. And sometimes I especially if you book
37:55
Speaker 1: late and there's not really a lot of options to
37:57
Speaker 1: make sure you guys are all together, you got to
38:00
Speaker 1: ask people to move. And, and I'm not even saying together,
38:03
Speaker 1: like if I'm traveling with like all nine of my siblings,
38:05
Speaker 1: I need them all to be together. No, there just
38:07
Speaker 1: needs to be a big kid with a little kid
38:10
Speaker 1: and a little kid can't be together with a little
38:12
Speaker 1: kid and they can't be alone by themselves. I mean,
38:14
Speaker 1: you just, you have to do it that way. It's,
38:16
Speaker 1: it's inappropriate for the kid to be alone. And so
38:19
Speaker 1: I'm always appreciative when other people will willingly and gladly switch. Um, they're,
38:26
Speaker 1: I think we have to be more accommodating to parents
38:29
Speaker 1: in this world. I mean, if you see a baby crying,
38:31
Speaker 1: it's like the baby can't do anything about it, but
38:33
Speaker 1: then there are always people who complain. It's like, don't complain.
38:36
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, I'm kind of, I'm kind of saying
38:38
Speaker 1: two things here. I want you guys to drop a comment.
38:40
Speaker 1: Tell me what you think about this. But I will
38:42
Speaker 1: say I've had experiences with people who just seem to
38:44
Speaker 1: hate children and it really irks me because one time
38:49
Speaker 1: my mom asked me to fly Valentina out to Arizona
38:53
Speaker 1: to visit Her grandparents, my grandparents, my parents were really busy. Obviously,
38:58
Speaker 1: Valentina could not fly alone. So I flew with her
39:01
Speaker 1: to Arizona and then flew back to.
39:03
Speaker 2: Where I live.
39:04
Speaker 1: And she was the best baby in the world on
39:07
Speaker 1: this flight. I mean, she was probably, she was four
39:10
Speaker 1: at the time and so well-behaved. And Valentina, of course,
39:14
Speaker 1: has Down syndrome. So she's four, but really she's cognitively
39:19
Speaker 1: much younger now. Then four, she can't say at that time,
39:22
Speaker 1: she couldn't say any words. So she's basically like a baby,
39:26
Speaker 1: a toddler who is really cognitively a baby. And she
39:30
Speaker 1: was unbelievably well-behaved, like so good all through security, walking
39:37
Speaker 1: to the gate, on the plane, she was smiling, she
39:39
Speaker 1: was happy. And then when she got on the plane,
39:42
Speaker 1: after playing a little bit and being really sweet, she
39:44
Speaker 1: fell asleep. And She had her own seat. She wasn't
39:48
Speaker 1: on my lap or anything. So the way it was
39:50
Speaker 1: set up, I had the window seat. Valentina was in
39:54
Speaker 1: the middle. And there was an older woman in the
39:57
Speaker 1: aisle seat. Valentina falls asleep on the middle seat. And
40:01
Speaker 1: her head is resting on my lap. And her little
40:05
Speaker 1: feet are barely touching the sides of this older woman's chair.
40:12
Speaker 1: And she was not restless at all. she wasn't even
40:16
Speaker 1: touching the lady. She was just kind of, she was
40:19
Speaker 1: invading her space a little bit. And to have a
40:22
Speaker 1: baby fall asleep on a plane like that, that is
40:24
Speaker 1: much preferable to having them awake and trying to entertain them,
40:27
Speaker 1: I'll just say. So I thought it was a benefit
40:29
Speaker 1: to all of us. Oh yeah, there is Valentina with
40:31
Speaker 1: my grandparents. She's visiting them right now, actually. My grandparents
40:34
Speaker 1: love her. They love when she comes out there for
40:37
Speaker 1: weeks at a time. My grandparents are like those old
40:39
Speaker 1: people who just love children. And I don't know, I
40:42
Speaker 1: just found it so weird because unlike my grandparents who
40:44
Speaker 1: love children, This woman was giving me the stink eye
40:49
Speaker 1: the whole flight because this little girl was sleeping and
40:52
Speaker 1: her little feet were a little on this woman's chair.
40:55
Speaker 1: And she wasn't touching the lady. The lady was a
40:56
Speaker 1: petite woman. She wasn't touching the lady, but the lady
40:58
Speaker 1: was still clearly upset about it. And I just have
41:02
Speaker 1: to think, you guys, how can people not like kids?
41:05
Speaker 1: How can people be so upset about little children, especially
41:11
Speaker 1: ones as well-behaved as Valentina was on that flight? I
41:13
Speaker 1: just don't get it. So I think we need to
41:15
Speaker 1: be accommodating and welcoming of children, especially when we aren't
41:19
Speaker 1: meeting replacement rates. We need children right now. You want
41:23
Speaker 1: to pay for social security and Medicare and Medicaid? You
41:27
Speaker 1: have to have children. Nobody's going to support it if
41:29
Speaker 1: we don't. And we're not meeting replacement rates. It's a
41:32
Speaker 1: huge problem economically to care for the older generation in
41:35
Speaker 1: this country. We need children. We got to support parents
41:38
Speaker 1: who actually have them. All right. I also want to
41:41
Speaker 1: mention toddlers. And the toddlers who during COVID were booted
41:47
Speaker 1: off of flights for not wearing masks. Do you guys
41:51
Speaker 1: remember this? Toddlers were not wearing masks. It just reminded,
41:54
Speaker 1: the story reminded me of it and how angry I
41:56
Speaker 1: was during that time. Let's play one of those videos, Michael.
42:02
Speaker 1: Actually pause it for a second.
42:05
Speaker 2: If we could.
42:06
Speaker 1: So the flight, this was with WestJet and the police
42:11
Speaker 1: are threatening a man and his wife with arrest and
42:14
Speaker 1: forcible removal, unless their daughters of three years and 19
42:19
Speaker 1: months wore masks. And the three-year-old put on the mask,
42:23
Speaker 1: but the 19-month-old clearly was having a meltdown. She was hysterical.
42:28
Speaker 1: She was not going to put on this mask. Take
42:30
Speaker 1: a look. We have all seen it!
42:35
Speaker 4: You goofy sucker cunt!
42:36
Speaker 1: Beat it!
42:37
Speaker 3: Excuse me, what is your, what is his name?
42:41
Speaker 2: Everyone has seen it!
42:42
Speaker 1: No, no, his partner, everyone has seen it!
42:58
Speaker 4: Where were you riding a bicycle at this fucking time?
43:00
Speaker 1: It's patently insane. I can't even believe that was happening
43:05
Speaker 1: where you had babies and they were like, put the
43:10
Speaker 1: mask on the baby otherwise you're not going to be
43:14
Speaker 1: able to to be on this flight anymore. We're going
43:27
Speaker 1: to kick you off. And actually parents were banned from
43:30
Speaker 1: airlines because their babies didn't wear masks. Air travel is
43:34
Speaker 1: a nightmare and passengers are constantly getting treated like crap.
43:39
Speaker 1: Thanks to decades, I'd say, of government bailouts, which have
43:43
Speaker 1: turned airlines into bloated government dependent giants that are too
43:46
Speaker 1: big to fail. America United Delta, and that flight was
43:50
Speaker 1: a Canadian airline, but this was happening on American airlines
43:53
Speaker 1: as well. It all leaned on taxpayer money to avoid collapse,
43:57
Speaker 1: especially during COVID and after 9-11. In the case of COVID,
44:00
Speaker 1: the government really is at fault because they forced the
44:02
Speaker 1: airlines to essentially shut down, for the world to shut down,
44:06
Speaker 1: for there to be all this fear around travel. So really,
44:09
Speaker 1: it's the government's fault. But this dependency means that airlines
44:12
Speaker 1: answer to the government regulators and creditors, not to customers.
44:16
Speaker 1: That means cutting corners, means cramped seats and long lines
44:19
Speaker 1: and poor service. In so many sectors of our economy,
44:22
Speaker 1: that applies to And it's really, really frustrating. But you guys,
44:27
Speaker 1: please drop a comment. Let me know what your thoughts
44:29
Speaker 1: are on giving up your seat for children, even if
44:31
Speaker 1: you paid for it. Let me know what you think. And,
