Two dudes won the top spots on the podium at the Illinois State Women's Cyclocross Championship over the weekend, which seems to have become the Illinois State cyclocross dressing championship. If you ask me, maybe the Psycho Cross Championship, huh? Am I right? Am I right? I'm right. Of course I'm right. This is very sad for the women who trained because they were robbed of their prizes by men who are by nature bigger, faster, and stronger than they are. The silver lining, however, is that this is great for us at The Daily Wire since we just released a new comedy movie, Lady Ballers, on this very topic. The biggest moral hesitation that we had making this movie, Jeremy talked about it this week, last week, rather, at the premiere, is that the filming involved watching men dominate women

at sports, including contact sports. Now, of course, the movie hired stunt coordinators and stunt actors, everything was filmed in the gentlest possible way. But it's still tough to watch men wrestle, tackle, throw basketballs at women. Normal people don't ever want to subject women to that sort of thing, even for a movie. And yet, that's the point. This is not just happening in comedy movies. It's only happening in one comedy movie, and only then because it's happening all over the place in real life where it is even harder to watch. I'm Michael Noles. It's the Michael Nulls show. Welcome back to the show. If you've not seen Lady Ballers from the Daily Wire, you are missing out on the most triggering comedy of the year. I hate that stupid catchphrase,

but I guess it's true. It has triggered a lot of people. So truth and marketing, I suppose. It is the biggest launch in Daily Wire history. You can watch exclusively on DailyWire Plus.

Bill Maher is coming on over to our side. Even the libs are coming on over to our side, mentioning that Donald Trump is right about something, going after Joe Biden a little bit.

And specifically on one issue that I think is a huge winner for Republicans in 2024. We'll get to that in one second. First, though, I got to go all the way across the... world to Dubai. I got to go all the way across the world to the COP 28 UN climate conference. We talked about it yesterday. That's the conference for which all of these global liberal elites just hopped in their private jets, even on snow-covered tarmacs, to fly off emitting 20 times the air pollution that they would have emitted had they flown on a commercial aircraft. And they've gone all the way to the Arabian Peninsula to talk about how.

how to stop the sun monster from killing all of us in five seconds and how to talk about the imminent end of humanity because people drive around in cars that use gasoline. And so I was waiting for this to be an absolutely insufferable liberal gab fest. And then I was so pleasantly surprised when not just an attendee, but the president of the UN Climate Conference, Sultan Al Jaber of the United Arab Emirates took the occasion as an opportunity

to completely destroy the climate alarmists with facts and logic and fossil fuels. You can lead by example and like I said from the beginning I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober

and a mature conversation. We do not, I'm not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. here factual and I respect the science. And there is no science out there or no scenario out there that says that the face out of fossil fuel is what's going to achieve 1.5.1.5 is my not star. And a face down and a phase out of fossil fuel, in my view, is inevitable. It is essential,

but we need to be real, serious and pragmatic about it. The science is very acute now. We don't have any time. They say six or seven years, we got peak by 2025 latest in fossil fuel. And your company is investing in a lot more new fossil fuel. And that's, that's going to hurt women. So you hear him starting to interject here. This is where it really turns. I love the opening. He goes, look, I'm here to have sober discussion, you crazy Western women. I invite you crazy Western liberal women to come onto the screen. We talk, we talk about, we want to protect environment, I like environment. But you tell me we're not going to do the gas and the oil anymore, and you're all just absolutely hysterical and crazy. And these women don't quite know what to do.

So one of them says, well, no, actually the science is very clear. If we don't all stop driving our automobiles by February, we're all going to die. And you'll notice that the science has been very, very clear about the need to urgently stop doing all the stuff that we do that powers our economies within just a few years. It's always since the 1970s we've heard this. We only have a few years left. If we don't completely upend the economy

and the political order, within a few years, we're all going to die immediately. And then it never happens. And they always keep pushing off that timeline. You heard this throughout the 80s. I'm sure if you went to school in the 90s, all you ever heard about was global warming or the hole in the ozone layer or acid rain or whatever the environmental scarecrow de Jure was.

And then we had Al Gore's big movie in the 2000s. That was to tell us that if we don't immediately upend our political economy, then, oh, in just a few years Manhattan's going to be underwater, and Florida is going to be underwater, and then none of it happens. Because they always have to push it off just a few more years. And Sultan Al Jaber leading this climate conference, He smacked it down for good. Ma'am, you've just accused me of something that is not correct.

I'm sorry, I don't take it. Now, I ask you to prove to me. I read that your company is investing in a lot more fossil fuel in the future. Yes, ma'am, you're reading your own media, which is biased and wrong. I am telling you, I am the man in charge, and it is wrong, ma'am. You need to listen to me. Please, please, for once. I'm very pleased to hear it.

I'm very pleased to hear it. It is wrong. You guys are right. a lie and you believe it. I'm sorry. I do not accept it. I am not accepting this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I respect you and I do not accept any false accusations.

I've been very clear about my position. This is wrong. And you're asking for a phase out of fossil fuel. Please help me, show me a roadmap for a phase out of fossil fuel that will allow, that will allow for social, for sustainable socio-euroe socio-economic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.

Show me. Well, I can't quite show you, actually. You see, because basically our view here is that we got ours here in the West, and all of you poor brown people need to give up electricity, because we got what we wanted, and now we're afraid of the sun monster, and we want to sacrifice your societies to whichever demon we're deciding to worship this week. Yes, no, lady, no thank you. And my favorite part of the whole exchange, my absolute favorite part is just the firmness with which he says, no, we're not going to do this.

We're not going to allow you lunatic liberal ideologues to push us around and tell us that we have to impoverish all of our people in our society just because of your new religious cult. No, we're not going to do that. And then my second favorite part is when she says, well, you don't understand. The reports have been very clear. He said those are reports from your Western biased liberal media that are not true. Show me the facts. And then furthermore, this is the key because everyone can come up with their own paper funded by some liberal think tank. They can find all of their statistics because there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

He asks a much more difficult question that they can never answer. They can't pull up some study to answer this one. He says, show me the roadmap as to how we are supposed to totally eliminate fossil fuels, how that is going to reduce the global temperature. It's not. You have no scientific evidence that that's going to happen. But more importantly, show us how we can do that without sending us all back to caves. They can't do it.

There's no answer. Because because to the liberal environmental extremists, they don't care if people flourish. They don't really like people that much. The most extreme among them are anti-natalists. They say we need to stop having children to protect the environment. Later on, we'll talk about this new fad of the dinks, the dinkies, a double income, no kids. Well, there's a variation of the dinks called the ginks, which is great. Green inclined, no kids.

In fact, I know people who have said this who say, I don't think I want to have kids because of how bad it would be for the environment. It's very anti-human. As the Krispy Chicken sandwich from 7-Eleven, people always call me loud. And I'm like, yeah, I know. I'm crispy.

Did you expect me to whisper? If you want quiet, go eat some soup and reflect. Like, I know I'm a handful. I'm bold, I'm juicy. Throw some pickles and barbecue sauce on me, and baby I'm a whole meal. And with seven rewards, I'm just $4. quiet, no, crispy, saucy, and $4, very, only at 711.

Moving on from the best climate conference ever in the history of climate activism, but staying in the Muslim world, Muslims in America seem to be turning on Joe Biden. On Saturday, a bunch of Muslim leaders from several states and crucially several swing states descended on Dearborn, Michigan. And they did that to launch a national campaign called the Abandon Biden campaign. And they want to abandon Biden because they view him as supporting Israel. A lot of people would say that Joe Biden is not supporting Israel enough.

But these Muslim leaders are saying he's supporting Israel too much in the war against Hamas. So these are organizers from Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona. Who, Arizona is an important state just like Michigan. Wisconsin, that's an important state. Florida is pretty solidly red, but still, you know, good to keep it. Georgia, apparently that's a swing state. Nevada, that's a swing state. Pennsylvania. Ooh, baby, that's a big swing state. They are calling for an abandoned Biden campaign. To which I say, this is great. And Republicans better not screw it up.

Now, you might say, well, Michael, I'm a Republican, but I strongly support Israel. And so I don't want to be on the side of these guys. If these guys are attacking Joe Biden for not supporting, rather for supporting Israel too much, to which I say, folks, politics, actual practical politics is not about the perfect expression of a coherent philosophy. Actual practical politics is about building coalitions. Famously, it's known as the art of inclusion, bringing people together to do things that are, practical in the real world. And so I'm not saying that if you're a huge Israel supporter, you need to abandon Israel, far from it. What I'm saying is there are almost a quarter million Muslims in Michigan.

And Muslims broke three quarters for the Democrats in 2016. Three out of four Muslims in America voted for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. And now you're seeing a movement, a serious movement of Muslims away from the Democratic. Party, and I don't think it's just pie in the sky, I think it's being caused by an actual real-world event that is rallying a lot of Muslims all around the world. And so what Republicans might want to do is to not screw it up. When your opponents are losing, in this case, when the Democrats are losing support among an important group, don't get in their way. We don't need to come into the defense of the Democrats here. We don't, Republicans don't need to have any particularly

strong foreign policy stance, really, on this kind of an issue. Already you're seeing the Muslims move away. The Muslims started to move away from the Democrats in 2020. More Muslims voted for Trump in 2020 than they did in 2016. But this is a good issue. Okay, great. Let it happen. It would be very, very good to let these Muslims turn on Democrats.

And furthermore, it's not a completely insane political alliance, at least for 2024. Yes, it's true. There have been some conflicts between Christians and Muslims for roughly 1,400 years now. That's true. There have been certain invasions, you know, things like the Battle of Poitiers and Lepanto and Vienna. There have been the Crusades. Okay, water under the bridge, folks. Because at the very least, if I were a Muslim, I would look around and I would say, okay, whatever you think about the Israel-Palestine conflict, I would further look around and say these Democrats are completely godless. the Republicans tend to worship a different God than we the Muslims do, but at least they acknowledge that God exists. The Democrats want to completely destroy the family. Republicans might have a slightly different version of marriage and family than we do, but at least they understand the basic realities of marriage and family. Okay, there is a natural attractiveness if you are a Muslim

to conservative Republicans over insane degenerate Democrats, okay? And so while there might be differences, the key for the Republicans here is don't screw it up. Just try your best not to alienate the Muslim voters in the swing states. They've come out and said they don't want to support Trump. But if enough of them can just not vote for Biden, that could be enough to swing the election, which would be a great thing. Speaking of Trump, there's a major warning out there from a self-styled statesman. no one else really styles her a statesman, but she does. The state's woman, a state's lady. That would be, of course, Liz Cheney trotted out once again to do the only thing that she

exists for in politics, and that is to criticize her quote-unquote fellow Republicans because Liz Cheney pretends to be a Republican for that very purpose to play the court gesture in the kingdom of liberalism. Liz Cheney is warning that Donald Trump, if he is re-elected, might refuse to leave office. Do you believe that Donald Trump elected next year that he would try to stay in office beyond a second term, that he would never leave office? There's no question. You think he would try to stay in power forever? Absolutely. I mean, he's already done it once. And in fact, if you look at what he did in the run-up to January 6th in terms of his pressure on the vice president not to count legitimate electoral votes, his pressure

on the Department of Justice, on state officials, and then refusing to send help when the capital was under attack, he's already attempted to seize power. And he was stopped, thankfully, and for the good of the nation and the Republic. But he said he will do it again. He's expressed no remorse for what he did. First of all, this is a new criticism. I've never heard this one. She says he refused to send help when the Capitol was under assault.

Sent help. The Capitol is outside of his jurisdiction. That's why there's something called the Capitol Police. the Capitol police who were, oddly enough, not called up to a full security presence before January 6th, the worst day in the history of the Republic. That was kind of weird. The Capitol police, who stood down and let the January 6thers come in. In some cases, they escorted them through the Capitol building. And that was kind of weird.

Of course, if Donald Trump had sent anyone from the executive branch to assist, we would be told that that was another part of the attempted coup. Donald Trump sending a secret police to the sacred halls of democracy and the Congress attempting to take over a branch of government. So that's a new one. I hadn't heard that one before. Pretty ridiculous. But the whole claim is ridiculous. Because we know that Donald Trump will not refuse to give up power. And the reason we know that is he already did it. This is one of the strongest aspects, I think, of the Trump candidacy is when when, when, people make these insane, hysterical alarmist claims, we can point back to history and see what actually happened. One of the strongest parts about Trump's candidacy is when it comes to the fearmongers on the left, we can say, well, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice,

to quote George W. H. He, the point is you're not going to fool me again. Donald Trump, if he's elected, he's going to start World War III. Oh, well, he got elected and he didn't. He was actually the best foreign policy president in our lifetime. Well, Donald, Trump, if he gets elected, he's actually going to be a secret liberal. You sometimes hear this from people on the right. No, actually, he was the most conservative president in our lifetime. Okay, that's good. Donald Trump gets elected. He's going to promote abortion. No, actually, he got Roe v. Wade overruled. Donald Trump, if he gets elected, he's going to, he's going to promote anti-Semitism. That was another one. He's Hitler. He's going to promote anti-Semitism. Actually,

they named a town after him in Israel, so I'm pretty sure he's not going to do that. Well, Donald Trump, if he gets elected, he is not going to give up power. Well, actually, last time you rigged the election against him, and he still gave up power. So, no, I don't think so. This is also why I don't really sweat it when Donald Trump says something eccentric or that we might disagree with, you know, on whatever issue, on abortion or on whatever. On LGBT issues, on the sexual revolution. Because as I look at him and I say, huh, okay, well, that rhetoric is a little confusing. but actions speak louder than words, and we've already seen the show.

We know what we're getting. We know what show we're going to see if we vote for Donald Trump again. And if Liz Cheney ever had any credibility, I don't think she ever had much, that would be gone now. We can see through it, just like you can see through your windows.

Speaking of Big Libs, a couple just went viral for bragging about the dink lifestyle. We're dinks. We're going to get asked daily when we plan on having kids. We're dinks. Of course, we're going to go. out to eat every night after work. We're dinks. We don't have to ask our family for financial help or to watch our kid when we want to go out. We're dinks. We're going to go to Costco and buy all the snacks in bulk that we want. We're dinks. We have disposable income to spend on whatever we would like and don't have to spend on a kid. We're dinks. I'm going to go to every football

game and play 18 holes whenever I want. We're dinks. We're going to get asked to every single family event what we're doing with our life. I'm depressed because I just watched this video. I'm very sad about the state of our culture because I just watched that video. I'm frankly not betting on much of a future for Western civilization because I just watched that video. I'm Michael.

This new trend, put the dinks aside for a second, this new trend of the, I'm blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that I've seen go around the internet. It's absolutely unbearable. And it's especially unbearable when you're talking about something like the dinks.

because what we're looking at here is not merely a couple suffering from infertility. Who knows? Maybe they did suffer for. Maybe they did really want kids, and now they're just coping and they're putting on a strong face about it and trying to promote something that they don't actually desire. That could be the case. Many people do that. But what they're at least doing on the surface is they are saying it is better to intentionally abstain from having kids if you are a married couple.

and that is obviously not true. That's not what marriage is for. Marriage is for having kids. Not everyone gets to. Some people are infertile. It's a terribly difficult experience to go through. But that's what it's for. You can have a good life without children.

If you're a married couple and you're infertile, you can be godparents. You can be very involved in the lives of your nieces and nephews. You can be very involved in the life of your community, say your church or other civic associations. You can, if you are single and you're not going to have kids, you can join a religious order. You can consecrate your singlehood to God. You can do things for other people with the extra time and money that you have for not having kids. All of that is true.

the one thing that will certainly not make you happy if you are a married couple without kids is doing what these people are suggesting. We're dinks. We get to buy a lot of snacks at Costco. I have multiple children. I can buy the snacks that I want at Costco. Costco has really great prices and lots of snacks. Frankly, you don't even have to pay for the snacks at Costco because they have so many free samples.

that your children are not preventing you from buying Doritos. We're dinks. We get to go to dinner every night. I don't get to go out to dinner every night. That's true. Dinner every night at restaurants gets very boring. Sometimes it's nice to sit at home with your family and have dinner. We're dinks.

I get to go to football games all the time. Football games, you can watch them on TV, first of all. I'm not a huge football guy, but you can watch them on TV. It's okay. And you can take your kids to football games. And that's more enjoyable than just going alone. We're dinks. I get to go golfing whenever I want. Yeah, golf is guys, don't. I think it was Shaw, who said that hell is the place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself. There are plenty of things I like to do on my own. I like to smoke cigars. I like to read books. I like to strum my ukulele. I even like to paint. I'm not a good painter, but I like painting. I like to go on walks. I like to do all sorts of fun things. It gets old. It gets old. I, I know people who have intentionally not had children.

I'm not kidding. Because they really like going to brunch. They really like going out to brunch and they really like traveling, say. Especially millennials. They love that. Brunch has diminishing marginal returns on happiness. Even traveling has diminishing more. I love traveling.

I've traveled extensively. Even that has diminishing marginal returns. It is true that when you have kids, you will have less disposable income, you will have less time, you'll sleep a lot less, you'll be stressed more in some cases. The sublimity of children is simply indescribable. I would not be able to do it justice here. I'll give you at least one little sketch to give you a sense of it.

My first book with words, I guess my only book with words for now, and my first baby were both due on the same day a couple of years ago. And I, of course, pushed it to the deadline, as did my baby. And so we're sitting in the delivery room. And it's my poor wife just screaming, you know, preparing to give birth. And me fixing the footnotes on my manuscript before I sent it off to the publisher. And I had really put my heart and soul into this book, spent a long time writing it, put my back into it. And I finally sent it off. My wife had even said, she goes, you know, I'm giving birth to my baby. You're giving birth to your baby. And I finally sent off the manuscript of something I'd been working on for 18 months longer than my wife had been working on our baby. And then my wife delivered our son. And I realized in that moment that my book didn't matter at all. It became a number one national bestseller, speechless, controlling words controlling minds. You can order it now if you like. Oh, thank you very much. But it doesn't matter at all. Similar to what St. Thomas Aquinas said after he had a mystical vision at the end of his life. And St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most important

intellectuals ever to walk the earth, wrote the Summa Theologia, among many other works, was said to be able to write multiple books at a time. And he had a mystical vision, and he said, oh, all that I have written is so much straw. None of that matters. Brunch doesn't matter. Football doesn't matter. Your snacks at Costco.

They don't matter at all when it comes to a much deeper purpose, like the purpose of your marriage. Just absolute peak decadence. and hedonism. Have I been harsh enough? I think I have. I think maybe I have. There are things that this couple can do if they can't have kids. Golfing and eating snacks is not among the things that will make them happy. Now speaking of decadence and hedonism, you know I hate to say I told you so. In this case, I really hate to say I told you so. I've been going on for years now. Really ever since the rise of AI. And we've been hearing all these horror stories about how AI

is going to put us all out of work. I said, that's not the big problem with AI. That's not what it's going to be used for. And we've been told AI, it's going to threaten weaponry and military installations around the world. I said, that's not the big fear. That's not what AI is going to be used for.

I said, the big thing that you've got to worry about with AI is that pretty much the only thing it's going to be used for is porn and degrading people and stopping us from procreating and ending human civilization that way. I said, that's the big, forget about the military uses

and the economic disruption. The main issue is it's all going to be used for porn. And it turns out a new survey says, I was totally right. This is from the Daily Mail, the unstoppable rise of deep fake porn. So here are the highlights from this study. Porn makes up 98% of all deep fakes,

according to a report by security firm, Home Security Heroes. Not surprised whatsoever. I'm surprised the number is so low. Well, saying, oh, well, with deep fakes, we're not going to be able to. to tell what the politicians are saying anymore.

Don't worry about that. No one's going to spend any time doing deepfakes of politicians because they're all going to be spending their time making porn out of deep fakes. And what did I say about the deep fake porn? I said the real fear here is not that it's going to create scandals with celebrities. So the real fear here is that with this kind of technology, it's going to be a kid in his math class doing it to his classmate. And she's going to be profoundly violated and these videos are going to go all around the internet. she's not even going to know what happened, which turns out is exactly what happened. In October, male students at a New Jersey high school were caught sharing AI-generated nudes, featuring the faces of their female classmates, some as young as 14 years old.

And then here's what one of the victims said. We're aware that there are creepy guys out there, but you would never think one of your classmates would violate you like this. And I'd put a pause there. I did think that a classmate would violate them like this. These girls did not. They're young. They're naive. They're innocent.

But there are many adults who would not foresee this happening. Because all of this has been allowed to proliferate because of major willing ignorance, major confusion about fundamental aspects of human nature. They keep going on. Disturbingly, most of these AI tools do not work on images of men. In fact, when the news, website Vice tested one app by uploading a picture of a man, his underwear was replaced with female genitalia. Gee, you don't say. Well, these guys, they're legitimately shocked by this. They're legitimately shocked that everyone who uses this technology is a man. And they're further

legitimately shocked that very few of those men are homosexual. They're shocked. Because, why? Because we've been told for our lives, if you're a millennial for your whole life, you've been told, oh, men and women are exactly the same and they relate to sex in exactly the same way. And the other thing you've been told is that like 50% of people are gay, which just isn't true. It's even with how much those sorts of desires and behaviors are promoted in our culture, it's still a very small number of people. So the vast majority of guys using them, of people using this are men who are attracted to women, who when they are unconstrained by morality and the law, have very, very creepy desires that they

give way to. Finally, they say, currently there is no federal mandate that bans the creation or distribution of deep fake pornography. Yeah, gee, you don't say, you don't say. This problem, we're told it's the unstoppable rise of deep fake porn. I don't think it's unstoppable. I don't think it's unstoppable. We were told that about nuclear weapons.

The proliferation of nuclear weapons is totally unstoppable. Everyone's going to have it in five minutes. It didn't happen. We were able to extraordinarily slow down the spread of nuclear weapons. It's still spreading a little bit, but but very, very slowly. The same could be true of this kind of technology. The reason that it's taking off right now

is because of four related problems. Confusion about the sexes. We refuse to acknowledge that men and women relate to sex differently and generally speaking, men desire and women are desired. Generally speaking, men chase the girls and the girls are chased by the men. generally speaking, men are willing have a much higher sex drive and are willing to do lots of weird stuff.

And the women have to protect against that through something called modesty, which we used to hold up as a virtue in our society. And now we mock as a relic of an antiquated and silly age. But it turns out the gods of the copybook headings are reasserting themselves. That's the first confusion. Second one is confusion about freedom. We think that freedom is just the ability to choose and do whatever you want, whenever you want to do it. And that's not freedom. it's not how our founding fathers thought about freedom.

It's not how any serious thinker in our whole civilization has thought about freedom. Freedom is not just neutrally choosing between opposites. If that were the case, God would not be free. If that were the case, then every time you build a habit or a virtue, you'd become less free. Freedom is perfect willing, the ability to do that which you really want to do, which involves discipline, disciplining your base appetites to your rational will, and perfect willing is dependent upon intellect. It's about knowing things.

If you're extremely ignorant, you're going to be less free. You're going to be a slave. And now we have a culture that has absolutely no discipline and absolutely no knowledge. So we call ourselves free because we get to look at weird porn all the time, but we're actually enslaved devices, such as pornography, among many others in our culture. That's the second one. Third one is confusion about the law. We, even on the right, have bought into a crazy kind of extreme liberty.

libertarianism, it's really libertinism, which says that law is always bad and government is always bad. That's not true. Her founding fathers didn't think that. They weren't anarchists. Law is good. Law is a teacher. When you incentivize certain behaviors, you get more of those behaviors. When you disincentivize certain behaviors by punishing them with the law, then you get less of those behaviors.

People have tried to pass laws against this stuff for years now, and liberal radical judges have shot it down, communications decency act and the child online protection act. Had those laws been passed in the 90s, you wouldn't see half of these problems right now. And then the biggest issue, the biggest driver of this kind of problem, is something that Americans are particularly susceptible to. And that is a denial of original sin. That is a denial of the fact. Go out on the street, ask people, do you believe in original sin? I bet many, if not most people in America would tell you, no, I don't believe in it. What's that mean? Some little babies born with with some sins? No, man, it's society that puts sin and imperfection on people. But we're all

born with all the stuff we need to be perfect. I mean, this is the progressive vision. This is frankly, the enlightenment vision of man. What it really comes down to is, can you save yourself? Can you be perfect, totally perfect and without sin, of your own effort, by your own works? Do you believe that? Many people say yes. Many people say, oh, yeah, I don't need a God. I don't need a savior. I don't need, I can do it. We just, we don't need, imagine there's no religion, man. It's easy if you try. You-hoo, right? That is not only part of the left-wing culture today, that's actually, unfortunately, a theme that recurs in the American tradition. And it's not true. I know there are some creepy men out there, but would my classmates do this? Yeah. Yes. Every single one of your

male classmates would do this kind of creepy stuff if they were not constrained by cultural norms, religious and moral proscriptions, and the law. And even then, some of them are going to do it. But I promise you, without any of those restraints, every single one of your men, male classmates is going to do this. So don't say it's unstoppable. Don't say you weren't warned. Don't say, well, this is just something we've got to deal with. This is creepy. This is wrong. This is a deep violation of women and young girls. And we can stop it if we just throw away our false ideology. If we fix our confusion on really basic issues and act normal, act like a normal society.

Comment is, yes, the annual choreography of private jets flying all over the world, carrying one person at a time, to bother us about climate change. There it is. It's part of the ritual. The climate religion has all sorts

of rites and rituals. It's got all sorts of sacramentals, you know, the reusable water bottle, the paper straws. These are sacramentals in the cult of the environment. And one of the annual rituals, it's a big festival, is when all the private jets take off to ferry, John Kerry and all the rest of them to the other side of the world to talk about how awful it is that we drive our cars. Now, speaking of sin, as a clip is from a few days ago, but I want to get to it, of faith leaders in Iowa praying over Donald Trump. Lord, I pay for protection over him. I pray for protection over his family. Lord, all the weapons formed against him will not cross. Yes.

Lord, they will come to nothing. And the traps will be laid against him. Yes. The people that have laid the traps, they will be caught in their own traps. Yes. So, Father, we thank you now. Lord, for a great favor. And I pray, Lord, that who will be able to trust in you.

Yes. I don't understand. I acknowledge you in all his way, Lord. I trust you that you will direct it past. And Lord, there is a great victory. Yes. Yes. But for the world, because the calling and that you placed on this man. Yes.

We say this in agreement right now. And Lord, we thank you. It should be done by our Father in heaven. Amen. So the liberals are sending this clip all around. and they're pretending that's really weird, some are suggesting that conservatives worship Donald Trump because they just don't understand how religion works,

certainly not Christian religion. So they don't realize that what you're seeing there is not only not the worship of Donald Trump, it's the opposite of the worship of Donald Trump. It is a recognition by faith leaders in Iowa that this is a fallen, broken man who is susceptible to all sorts of sin and vice, and so they are praying to God to protect him

from spiritual warfare, the reality of which the liberals also deny. Because they deny that there's good and bad and the personality of good and bad, and they deny that they're angels and demons and spiritual warfare. They deny all of these things. They adopt a mostly materialist outlook, even if they sometimes contradict that with the natural intuitions of metaphysical reality. You see this especially in the transgender ideology, where they say your body has nothing to do with who you are. But that's a little crack in the otherwise materialist facade of their worldview. It's good to pray for your leaders. Even if you don't like Trump, even if you hate Trump,

even if you're a big Democrat and you love Joe Biden, it's good to pray for your leaders. Even if you're a big Republican and you hate Joe Biden, we want to pray for our leaders. We want, at least for their conversion. We want the leaders to do well in as much as what they do is conducive to our flourishing. We want to have a grand strategic vision for our country. We want to have patriotism, which is a good thing and an extension of filial piety. There used to be a universal acceptance of this. That's broken down in the last probably 20 years, a little more than 20 years, especially on the right. It's good. You should be praying for your national leaders at church. We used to do. We used to do this. We don't have that anymore. And as that breaks down, then the political problems are going to be a lot

deeper than just some guy or other in office. Before we close today, I'll give you a little tease. We'll get more to the story. We'll get more to the story tomorrow. But it's sad if you're driving, pullover, if you're standing up, please sit down. A presidential candidate is out. That would be Doug Bergam. The dream is over. The Bergamentum has come to a grinding halt. It's a reminder that

a lot of candidates are out. Pence, Scott, Burgum, Larry Elder, a lot of candidates are out. They've all been taken out, I think, by Yuna, by Chris Christie,

who remains in the race, the Chris Asance, continues. He will be at the debate. Nobody expects the chrysauce. We'll get more to it later. The rest of the show continues now. You do not want to miss it. Become a member. Use Code Nolskine. W. LAS a checkout for two months free on all annual plans.
