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