Terms apply. 24-hour fitness, which my producers have informed me as a gym, has just sent out a new dress code to employees. A conservative named Carlos Tricios got a copy of this policy, which says, States currently approved movements and or social causes, along with approved expressions are Black Lives Matter, BLM, the words, pride, or the pride rainbow logo, the juneth logo's symbol or date on Juneteen. So other days of the year, no Juneteenth. You got to just wear the BLM clothing on the rest of the days. And then a flag or United States logo, So this is just the American flag.

On holidays such as Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Veterans Day, Patriots Day, etc. On those days, you're allowed to wear the American flag at a gym in America every other day. The American flag is prohibited. Can't do it. You can wear the pride flag any day of the week. You can wear the BLM symbols whenever you want. The American flag, that's a handful of days a year. Each Pride month, there's a fact that seems strong.

Stranger and Stranger. Put the gym aside for a second. If you serve your country in the military, you are celebrated for one day. If you give your life serving your country, you are celebrated for one day. But if you do weird sex stuff, you are celebrated for a whole month. Now the situation is even more disturbing. At this particular gym and at an increasing number of of other institutions, schools, businesses, public spaces, you've seen them. If you simply support your country, you just wave a flag, maybe you wear a flag sweater or something, you're allowed to express that a few days each year. If you support street violence and buggery, you can express it 24-7-365. But the craziest part is, the policy actually makes perfect sense, because flags are symbols, they represent things. In this case, they represent two countries, two different kinds of country that are fundamentally opposed to each other. And things that are fundamentally opposed to

each other can't simultaneously be true. They can't simultaneously occupy the same space. As flag enthusiast and Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito recently observed, one side or the other is going to win. As go the gyms and the schools and the businesses and the public spaces, so goes the nation. I'm Michael Knowles. It's the Michael Nulls show. Welcome back to the show.

Before I get to anything else, speaking of changing symbols, there's a very, very important story. A white girl has gone viral for saying the N word, sort of. And she's gone viral, and everybody on the internet is talking about her. And I can't avoid commenting on her.

I have a little bit of a different take than most people I've seen. Here is the commentary in question. Everybody I know who's married right now, they're married to broke-ass-figgis. And they don't care. We don't give a f*** about your money. I couldn't care less about your fucking money, okay? There it is. There's the N-word.

Did we bleep the N-word? Do we have to bleep? We have to bleep the N-word. So I guess we're... You got the gah, though. Okay, we got the gah. It's the soft R, as they say. And for this, this woman's going to be totally cancer.

I assume, except that her recitation of the N-word here doesn't seem like the most problematic part of the video. Obviously, in this context, the N-word with the soft R, the g, doesn't even refer to black people. She's saying her friends who are married are married to broke A-ends. But the ends, unless all of her friends, husbands are black guys, it just refers to fellas. That's basically what the word means in the colloquial vulgar speech. In fact, when I'm singing along to rap songs, if I don't want to be canceled, I'll just replace that word with fella. Whoop de whoop, fella, what? I'm the D-O-D-O-G.

So that's what the word means here. That's what the signifier is signifying. even so she could go out and talk about guido's right if she that's a that's a slur for italians and even unlike in this case even if that word were referring to the specific racial group that it's most commonly associated with she wouldn't get canceled for that she could go out she could refer to i don't know wetbacks mix there are all sorts of other racial slurs i'm sure i'm sure that i'll be pilloried for for reciting here but she she wouldn't be canceled for it it's that that word in particular. And yet, what about the F word? What about the ASS? What about that kind of vulgar speech, I think,

is far more problematic here. Because it's just not the sort of thing we like to do in public. It's just not, if we're talking as she is about the relation between men and women, call me old-fashioned. I don't like to hear ladies speak that way. And I try not to speak that way in front of ladies. I think that's wrong for men to do that too. I think it's wrong for men to do it all the time. I think it's a venial sin. But occasionally at the bar, you know, guys talking, sometimes a loose word comes out.

But we try not to do that. We make an extra special effort not to do that in front of women. Why? Because men and women are different. Because of the point that this girl is making and the point that conservatives have been trying to make for 10 years now, that men and women are different. And if we really believe that, don't we need to reflect that in our speech? Speech is what distinguishes us from the lower animals. Speech is the distinction that human beings have.

So if we really believe this stuff, if we really believe in a traditional society and we really believe in a moral order, and we really believe even just in the difference between men and women, and we really believe in conserving something worth conserving, those are the words you got to watch out for. a little vulgar term that comes up that's not even referring, being used as a racial epithet. That's a relatively minor. Okay, speaking of broke people, Kevin Spacey is just broken down on the Pears Morgan show because he doesn't have any money anymore. Where'd you live now? Well, it's funny you ask that question because this week,

where I have been living in Baltimore is being foreclosed on it. My house is being sold at auction. Really? So I have to go back to Baltimore and put all my things in storage. Really? So the answer to that question is,

I'm not quite sure where I'm going to live now, but I've been in Baltimore since we started shooting house of cards there. Are you facing bankruptcy? Been a couple of times. the times when I thought I was going to file, but we've managed to sort of dodge it, at least as of today. How much money do you have? None. None. Kevin Spacey, one of the greatest actors of his generation, is totally bankrupt. And I feel sorry for him, but I feel sorry in a very particular

way. I feel pity for Kevin Spacey in the way that Dante feels pity for the sinners in hell. I don't feel pity for Kevin Spacey in a way that denies the justice of what he's going through. I think what he's going through is absolutely just. I feel pity for him because he just didn't really know and he kind of thought he could get away with it. Kevin Spacey is facing the just consequences of his evil actions. He did lots of very bad things that are very public. He behaved in a way that one is not supposed to behave and had a reputation apparently for doing so.

Now he is being persecuted for doing those bad things. And he's crying about it. If Kevin Spacey were being persecuted for doing the right thing, I strongly suspect he wouldn't be crying about him. When people undergo persecution for goodness and justice, for God, for the faith, when they're martyred, You think of the Christians in the Coliseum, they're dancing as they're about to be fed to lions, because they know that what they're doing is right, and they understand that it is for the greater glory of God, and it's a good thing, and they don't have anything to fear. Ultimately, you know, the princes of this world can threaten you and try to make you scream, but ultimately, there is a higher power than those princes, and you're on the right side. Kevin Spacey's crying because he's being persecuted for doing all sorts of bad things.

And this is common in our culture. I don't even mean to pick on Kevin Spacey. But Kevin Spacey was told, hey, you can do all sorts of weird sex stuff, you know, like a lot of people are talking about in this month of June. And you can sleep with people that you're working with. And you can pick up young guys on movie sets. And you can do this, that, and the other thing. And it's cool. It's Hollywood. It doesn't matter. And this is what Harvey Weinstein was told. This is what every, you know, those two guys had become figures of the Me Too movement.

But it's like everybody in Hollywood. Not actually everybody, but statistically everybody. 99.9% of people engage in this kind of stuff. And it seems normal. Not normal according to actual moral standards, but normal according to common behavior. And so they're all told, oh, it's fine, man. Love is love, Kevin Spacey. feel free to go, you know, grope the PA on some movie set or whatever. Yeah, it's cool, man, it's whatever. It's Hollywood. You're the man. You're a star. You can do whatever you want, right? But in reality, according to the real moral order, that isn't true. And so the problem is when you wedge yourself to the spirit of the age, as Fulton Sheen tells us,

you find yourself a widow in the next, these passing fashions, these passing norms and standards that aren't rooted in anything real. They're going to come and go. And then one day Hollywood's going to come up and say, oh, hey, all that behavior that we've been encouraging for 50 years, yeah, that's over now. And we're going to throw you in jail if we don't like you because of it. And so he's facing, he said, no, but you told me it was okay. Yeah, but those people who told you that were liars and they weren't actually grounded in the proper and real moral order. So he's weeping like a, like a figure in Dante's Inferno. You know, he's saying, oh, no, I'm, this is awful. What misery I'm in. And it's a special kind of misery that actually

provokes tears because it's the misery that I suspect deep down Kevin Spacey knows he deserves. There's so much more to say. First, though, go to puretalk.com slash knolls.

They all related to buying a gun while he was a crackhead. And so the charges pretty much amounted to lying on a form while he was buying a gun. There are many other crimes that Hunter Biden committed. This is pretty much the least of it. Many, many more serious crimes. And importantly, many more crimes that implicate his father that he wasn't prosecuted for. So they try to let him off the hook completely. Biden's corrupt

DOJ gives him even less than a slap on the wrist, tries to make the whole thing be brushed under the rug. A judge says, no, this is too ridiculous. You actually have to prosecute him, at least a little bit. So they prosecute him on the lowest level possible. The jury deliberates for three hours. We know he did it. We've got pictures and videos and emails and texts. It's, you know, the guy documented every second of every crime he committed just about. So, okay, now he faces 25 years in prison and a quarter million dollar fine. Joe Biden has said he will not pardon his son because no one's above the law and lady justice is blind. But I

said, and you know I hate to say I told you so, I said at the time, this is bogus. Notice what Biden doesn't say. He doesn't say that he won't commute the sentence of Hunter Biden. So he might be lying, he might pardon him out right. But even if he doesn't pardon him out right, he'll almost certainly commute the sentence. So Hunter

Biden will never see a day in jail. So Carine Jean-Pierre, the president's press secretary, was just asked about this directly. Here's her non-amination. answer. He has said that he was, he has ruled out pardoning his son, but I wondered about a commutation, whether that would be something that would be on the table, a commutation. So look, as I stated at the top, I don't have anything to say beyond, to your first question, beyond what the president's statement was yesterday. He has been very clear, we've been very

clear, you know, he loves his son. Yeah, okay. So of course, of course, he would at least commute his son's sentence and probably would pardon him. And I don't blame him. I don't blame him at all. If it were my kid, I certainly would at least commute his sentence. God forbid that it would be my kid who went that far down a terrible path. God forbid. But if it were, absolutely. And I were in that position, you bet I would. 100%. What's the alternative? The alternative is you let your son rot in prison to score political points. And I don't think there's anything good or noble or virtuous about that at all. And so that's what Biden wants to do, but he can't say that because it looks really bad politically.

And, you know, if you are willing to forego the political points to do something that you feel is right for your son, well, then you got to forego the political points. And that might cost you an election. And Joe Biden doesn't want it to cost him an election. So now he's just mumbling and prevaricating and sending his spokesman out to give non-answers to questions for which we know the obvious answer. Joe Biden will make sure that his son never sees a day in jail. That's pretty much, I think, where all the smart money is. Now, speaking of how much I hate to say, I told you so. And speaking of the Hunter Biden conviction, this verdict is a distraction.

There were a lot of conservatives who were celebrating, ha ha, we got Hunter Biden. I said, no, guys, we're getting played here. First of all, he's probably not going to face actual punishments. But second of all, this is a very, inexpensive way politically for Democrats to justify the Trump conviction. Donald Trump was convicted in an unprecedented way, first time ever that a former president has been prosecuted, and certainly the first time ever that a former president and current Republican Party nominee has been

prosecuted, let alone convicted for crimes that aren't even crimes. Don't forget, in New York, the crime for which he was convicted, the supposed 34 felonies, wasn't actually a felony. I'm not even convinced it was a misdemeanor. It was, according to prosecutors, misfiling some paperwork, categorizing a payoff in a political campaign as a legal expense. As far as I'm concerned, that is a legal expense. What are you supposed to categorize it as? He told his lawyer, take care of some of these problems, which are publicity problems, but they also involve, aspects of the law, just go take care of it. You pay your fixer to do that. Your fixer's a lawyer.

That's a legal expense. But even, let's say it doesn't qualify as a legal expense. That's a misdemeanor. The misdemeanor would have run out in 2019. So they had to elevate it to a felony. The way they elevated it to a felony to prosecute Trump is they say, well, the misdemeanor was committed in the service of some underlying crime. They never established that Trump committed any underlying crime. In fact, the judge explicitly told the jury, you don't need to agree on what the underlying crime was, just convict him. So he did something bad, convict him. And by the way, the underlying crime, in this case, the closest thing to maybe an underlying crime would be an FEC violation, an election commission violation, which would have to be at the federal level,

not at the state level in New York. And by the way, the federal government looked into it and they didn't prosecute. So the whole thing is just totally bogus. The Trump conviction, Trump, Trump is facing a zillion years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, which isn't even a crime. Hunter Biden is facing practically no days in prison for a small fraction of the crimes that we know for a fact he committed. There's no comparison here. Donald Trump politically, extraordinarily relevant, we're talking about a fundamental reordering of our political system if this guy puts on an orange jumpsuit. Even the fact that he's been convicted already reorders our political system. Hunter Biden is just some schmuck. Hunter Biden is just the president's son. And so, anyway, that's what I said.

And apparently the Trump campaign agrees with me, is the Trump campaign is quite wise. Statement is, this is from Carolyn Leavitt, the Trump National Press Secretary. This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden crime family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Ukraine. Crooked Joe Biden's reign over the Biden family criminal empire is all coming to an end and on November 5th. Never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit. Yeah, this is it. Do not be distracted, folks.

Trump campaign, they get it. That's good. I'm glad the Trump campaign gets it. Very, very good news. Now, we will turn to real political issues in one moment first, though. Folks, this is officially the summer of Mayflower cigars. Enjoy the Mayflower dawn and Mayflower dusk in a variety. of sizes and assortments at mayflower cigars.com.

Ring that bell. Ding that do. dead, whatever. Turning to real political issues, great news coming out of the Congress. The House of Representatives, still controlled by the Republicans, has voted to hold Merrick Garland, Joe Biden's attorney general, in contempt of Congress. This is important because Steve Bannon, former Chief White House strategist for Trump, has just been ordered to go to jail because he was found in criminal contempt of Congress. Pretty shocking.

Steve Bannon is, to my knowledge, only the second senior presidential advisor ever to go to jail for contempt of Congress. Do you know who the first one was? Peter Navarro, another Trump advisor, Trump's trade advisor, who is currently sitting in jail for criminal contempt of Congress. First time ever, when you think about Democrats imprisoning their political opponents, recognize it's not just Trump. They're doing it to the associates around Trump, also in ways that are

unprecedented that upend our political order. So why? Why did Bannon and Navarro get sentenced to jail? Because they ignored a congressional subpoena. Okay, well, can't help but notice. Merrick Garland also ignored a congressional subpoena. He did the same thing. And now he was found in criminal contempt of Congress. and now, is he going to go to jail? No chance. What Garland says is, it's deeply disappointing that this House of Representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon. Today's vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers, the Justice Department's need to protect its investigations, and the substantial amount of information we have provided to the committees. I will always stand up for the department. It's employees and its vital mission to defend our democracy. Oh, yeah, yeah, today's vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers.

Does it now? How about when ULibs sent two top presidential advisors to prison? Does that violate the separation of powers? Well, no, it's different. How's it different? The reason that Navarro and Steve Bannon were going to play ball with Congress is because that would have constituted a kind of congressional supremacy over the executive, because it would have denied executive privilege, because it would have compromised the constitutional separation of powers, the exact same argument, Marigar. Garland's making. Well, no, but that's different. They're Republicans. They can rot in jail. You want to talk about the upending or system of norms and the separation of powers. You're trying to imprison the president. You, Merrick Garland, are trying to imprison the president. You, because you're the head of the Justice Department. Well, no, that's different. He's a Republican. He's a great threat to democracy. If we let people vote for the candidate they want to vote for, that would be the end of democracy. So what do we do? He's not going to go to jail. And they're going to say, no, he's a sitting attorney general. There's no way. One thing, conservative,

is might consider doing in the House is we might remember that there was another attorney general who was held in criminal contempt of Congress, not for Joe Biden, but for Barack Obama. That would be Eric Holder. So Eric Holder did pretty much the same thing, and Congress held him in contempt, and Holder made a big fuss about it, but he never faced any actual consequences for it. How about we put him in an orange jumpsuit? If the argument, I don't even know what the argument is at this point. I'm not sure the liberals who are making the arguments know what the argument is. But if the argument is, well, no, you can't imprison the sitting attorney general. That would constitute a grave violation of the separation of powers. Well, what about the old attorney general? He was held in contempt of Congress. And we have a Republican Congress again that would probably affirm that finding.

Why don't we throw Eric Holder in jail? If this is what we do now, if we just jail our political opponents, throw him in jail. why not why not well well michael because if we wield the law and the government in the in the way the liberals do then we'll be no different than them no it will be quite different from them because we have different political aims and we're different people motivated by different first principles and we have a different vision for the country or we can do nothing which is what the squishes want to do and then we can we can claim the moral high ground though we would have demonstrated such cowardice i don't think we can claim the moral high ground. And we can say, well, can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? Just you wait. Hypothetically in the future, we might do something to you. I mean, we won't,

but hypothetically, we could. Not a bad idea. You're not going to get Garland. Go after Holder. Now, Congress did something else that was worthwhile yesterday. Very pleased to see this. Thanks to Congressman Jim Banks, who you might recall sent a letter to me and to a number of other mainstream conservatives to inform us that we're on a Ukrainian hit list, a Ukrainian hit list of a Ukrainian organization that was actually founded by a guy who was trained by the State Department, the U.S. State Department. So I appreciated Congressman Banks informing me of this. And he also wrote to the Appropriations Committee Chairman and wrote to others in Congress and said, hey, we should probably defund this group. We're funding this group that's threatening and endangering American citizens. We should probably defund that, right?

So, happy to say, Republicans on the Appropriations Committee have voted to defund that group, the data journalism agency, known by its nickname Texty. The data journalism agency founded by Anatoli Bondarenko, who was an instructor for the State Department's Tech Camp program. Okay. I'm glad, obviously, we need to defund a group that is putting American citizens and journalists and civil. civilians, private citizens on hit lists, for sure. Also, we need to ban this lunatic from the country. I never want this animal, Anatoli, Bondoranco ever to be permitted to set foot in America anymore. Put him on every list there is. Put him on a list. How about that? We need to go much further than this. I'm very grateful to Congressman Banks and the House Appropriations Committee. Obviously, it's a great first step.

Got to defund this group. I think we need to defund a lot of groups. And I think that we need to bar a lot of these people from our country, from having anything to do with our country, especially when these people were trained by the U.S. State Department. Ooh, yikes. Talk about the weaponization of government against ordinary American citizens. The U.S. State Department training and funding people who put American citizens on hit lists, we got to do a lot more than defund one little group. I said yesterday.

I said, I was in principle. I have no problem with helping Ukraine. I have no particular affection for Putin or the Russian. Federation, but can't help but notice in this war between Ukraine and Russia, only one side has put me on a hit list. So as far as I'm concerned, if something doesn't change here, not only should we defund Ukraine, we should start funding Russia. That's how sick I am of the utter vile corruption in our government. Now, speaking of people who are getting fed up with libs, Bill Burr has just made some headlines for saying that he hates liberals, sort of. Bill Burr, according to the San Francisco Gate, was just doing a stand-up set.

We don't have audio or video of it, but here's what he said. We have quotes. I-F-N hate liberals. But he said his issue was not even just with liberals. It was specifically with white liberals because of their hypocrisy. And he pointed out the hypocrisy of the white liberals holding up Black Lives Matter signs, but not doing the real work to break down the systems of oppression that led to the Black Lives Matters. movement. He said, that's like if I told you my great grandmother in Germany had a knock it off

Nazis sign. I'm sure it elicited many chuckles from the crowd. And then he goes on, he says, if you run into a white person who says that they're an empath, run the other way. So these white empaths, these are people who like making other people suffering about themselves, those white people, those white liberals. I like Bill Burr well enough. Some of his stuff is funny. I really don't mean to pick on Bill Burr, but this ain't it, man. This ain't it. This is such cautious comedy. This is so safe because, yeah, it's a criticism of liberals from within the framework of liberalism. I'm sick of criticizing liberal white women. I'm sick of it. I know it's funny. I know liberal white women do and say crazy things sometimes, but I'm sick of it because it's cheap, easy comedy. Because

that's the group you're allowed to attack because they're white. You can't do jokes about black liberal women. Oh, that would be very racist or any other racial group. Can't do it. The whites, it's okay. Why? Because that's what liberalism tells us. Liberalism tells us white people bad, Pharisees, and you actually should insult white people. You should attack white people. And so even women, you know, women get a few more victim points than the men. But if they're white women, you can make fun of them, those stupid Karens. Yeah, you hear this all the time. Oh, my least favorite people in the country is the white liberal women. Or even there's that term for them,

awfuls, affluent, white, female, liberal. It's kind of funny, they're awful, right? Ha, ha, ha. But no one would ever, no mainstream people would ever make those jokes about other racial groups. Because it's not safe. You could be canceled for doing that. And then here, Bill Burr goes even further.

He says his problem with the BLM movement is it doesn't take on the real scourge of white supremacy. So it's affirming, saying BLM is right. BLM is totally right about everything. But the BLM movement doesn't go far enough. That's the punchline of the joke. And that the white liberals who are advancing all of the stuff that's destroying our country, they don't really mean it. That's the point. It's so tedious.

I hate to pick on Bill Burr because he's like generally a funny guy. I haven't been that into stand-up comedy since Norm died. There's no number two. It's just Norm and then everybody else. But this ain't it, man. Come on, Burr. Take some risks. Good.

Come on. Come on, man. Now. You want to see where you're seeing real criticism of liberalism. Turn over to Europe. Great surveys coming out of Europe, specifically with regard to the Uts. Usually in Europe, the Uts are the ones who support all the lib stuff. That's been the story for the last 20 years or more.

So this is why all the libs in Europe said we need to lower the voting age. We need to get more young people involved in politics. The same kind of nonsense you hear in America. Oh, yeah, let's get all the – because those young people, they care about climate change. And they want more migration and diversity and rainier. stuff and yeah, the children are the future. Yeah, they ain't saying that anymore. Now I think they want to raise that voting age to 50 because surveys show that the young voters in Europe are pretty right-wing. Like not even, not cut your taxes right-wing. We're talking like deport the migrants, right-wing.

Surveys show voters in this 18 to 24-year-old bracket are now in these recent European elections, voting for hard right parties, the alternative for Deutsche Land in Germany. The ex-poles are showing what is the topic that is motivating them. It's immigration. Immigration is moving voters of all ages to the right in Europe and in America. But you look at Portugal, Italy, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Germany. the youngest voters are throwing their support behind the most right-wing parties. And it's specifically because of immigration.

Even the New York Times is admitting this. We have seen the largest movement of peoples ever into the West. The largest movement of peoples ever, full stop. And those peoples are moving into the West over the last 10, 20, 30, 40 years. In America, it goes back 60, 70 years, actually. And people are sick of it. Not because we don't like the icky foreign. necessarily. I guess some people don't like the icky foreigners. I don't have a problem with

the icky foreigners in principle, and many of them are not icky. But the problem is you can't just throw open the borders to your country and expect everything to be simpatico. It really damages the labor market in ways to the working class. It helps the wealthier classes, but it damages the economy for the working classes. And it just jumbles up your culture because you have people who don't speak your language, you don't have your customs, who don't do the basic things that make a polity a polity. Young people noticing that. Even the New York Times noticing that. You know what I say? The kids are all right. My favorite comment yesterday is from DDoorman. Oh, no, there's no R in there. It's just like a term for excrement. Man, 46, who says,

when a society is really cooking, Michael talking like Zoomers. It's funny that that is Zumer talk, right? They say, well, let him cook. He's cooking. But it's also old slang. It's like, oh, man, we're cooking now, baby. Let's go. We're really cooking, huh? And so it reminds me that slang comes back sometimes. It just comes back. And so I'm not only am I looking forward to the slang of my youth coming back. You know, bomb.com. Oh, snap. That's fat. That's what. What's up, dog? I don't know, whatever. Not even just that. I want the really old slang to come. I want the hundred year old slang. 23 skadoo. That's what 23 skadoo kids, for real, for real. Now. Speaking of punishment, talking all about punishment, the punishment of the liberal political order, the punishment of the enemies of the liberal political order. Let's talk about people who I think everybody agrees should be punished, and that is sexual predators. One mode of punishing them that has been suggested in recent years has been chemical castration. and Chris Hansen, who's the star of To Catch a Predator, remember that old show like, oh, sit down right over here,

what are you doing here? You get all these petos who are trying to meet up with 12-year-olds or something. He's just come out and said, actually, chemical castration is a bad idea. I understand the frustration and the need to crack down on child predators. I come face to face with them all the time, and our new investigation is called Take Down on my streaming crime network, True Blue. I think the problem with the ideal, of surgical castration is, does it act as a deterrence? These guys could get out of prison,

and even though they've had this done to them, they could still prey on victims in other ways. A predator is a predator, and I'm not so sure that this is the right thing to do. I'd rather see stricter prison sentences. I'd rather see treatment and therapy available to men who fear they may become predators who have a predilection for this activity, who need help. I don't think constitutionally they're going to be allowed to get away with surgical castration because what's next? Do they then cut off the hands of thieves? So Chris Hansen making the point, not only does this conversation pertain to surgical or chemical castration, some are even talking about surgical castration. And I have to say,

I think he's onto something. It sounds like Chris Hansen is going easy on the petos. I don't think he is. I think actually he's just speaking in a way that is more ethically sound and in some ways is harsher on the petos, but is better for society and for the petos. Because the problem with castrating these people, it's not that they don't deserve this.

No, they deserve what they get. I mean, there would be no problem in principle with executing them as long as they were found guilty by the state. that we were all carried out in a civil way. But there are practical problems. Like one reason that you don't want to kill sexual predators, even the worst sexual predators, is you want to give an incentive to them not to kill their victims.

If it's the same punishment, whether you kill the victims or not, then there's no incentive for them not to. So just from a prudential standpoint, it's sometimes better not to. And then when it comes to castration, it's morally pretty dubious, ethically pretty dubious, because you're now really attacking the integrity of the human person.

Castration is intrinsically wrong. It alters something. It damages something about us that makes us human. And the purpose of justice system is it's kind of like a medicine. Plato writes about this, St. Thomas Aquinas writes about this, that you want to protect the common good and you do want to rehabilitate the criminals. You know, the cause of it is retributive,

meaning, you know, the reason that you go into the criminal justice system is because you have done something wrong. It's not merely because you could use some rehabilitation. It's because you've committed an action that is wrong. But then what it aims at is a kind of medicine for society, for the victims, and for the perpetrator here. And so it seems to me, rather than, you know, catch these guys who've done awful things and then you just give them a drug or something that

changes their body chemistry and really attacks their humanity, I'd probably just lock them up a lot longer. And I probably would put them in pretty rigorous therapies. And ironically, you know, today the rainbow movement has banned anything that even has the whiff of a conversion therapy, which is ironic in part because all therapy is conversion therapy, because you were trying to change someone's mind. You were trying to convert them from a distorted psyche to an order. psychie. That is the basic point of therapy. But then when it comes to certain sexual predilections, they say you're not allowed to do it. But in any case, that kind of a therapy would probably be much more conducive to the flourishing of society and to these deeply troubled

individuals, especially coupled with pretty harsh punishments in prison time. Now, though, we live in this modern society where we don't want to deal with questions of justice, where we don't want to ignore aspects of psychology that people have known about for a very long time, where we don't want to even really deal with the moral order. We just want to give someone a pill, or we just want to do a little snip, snip. And even if that alters our humanity, we like that actually. We're living in an age that gets excited by transhumanism, the notion that we're going to cease to be homo sapiens and we're going to transform into something else and make ourselves into gods and become cyborgs and plug into the matrix. So yeah, we love that. Oh, I just take a pill. That'll fix it.

Pills don't fix everything. And the deep problems in life, the pills actually don't fix. I think Chris Hanson, who has a lot of experience in this line of work that probably many of us watched on that ridiculous show as kids, I think he's on to something. Now, speaking of dastardly people living in the shadows among us, are aliens living underneath the earth theory posited not by late night talk radio, not by the conspiracy theorists with the timetious? foil hats, but by Harvard researchers. There is a paper out. I encourage you to read it, or at least to read the abstract of it, which is available on ResearchGate.

This comes from researchers at Montana, Technological University, and Harvard suggests that UAP, which is the new term for UFO's unidentified anomalous phenomena or aerial phenomena instead of unidentified flying objects. The source of those things could be underground. Some theories from the paper, a remnant form of ancient civilization remains on Earth, albeit hidden. An intelligent species evolved separately from humans and now stays hidden, like Bigfoot or something, except Bigfoot's kind of a dummy and these guys would be really smart. Crypto-terrestrials traveled from another time period or planet, and they live among us. but we don't really see them a lot

because they're underground a lot and then finally this research posits that the unidentified creatures are of supernatural origin likened to earthbound angels and I'll translate that from Harvard speak research speak into the way you've probably heard that last theory before

they're interdimensional demons that is the Alex Jones theory and in fact there's a little of Alex Jones theories to a number of those possibilities. I really like this. Some of these, I think, are kind of silly. But the last one, the notion that the unidentified creatures are of supernatural origin, meaning they're spirits or apparitions,

seems to me, look, they're probably illusions a lot of the time, probably just hallucinations a lot of the time. But the notions that these things, which defy the laws of gravity or more broadly the laws of physics might be spiritual. That is a view held by every civilization ever for all of human history, and it seems like there's maybe some wisdom there. And now, even fancy Harvard researchers with their Tweed coats and their spectacles in tortoise shell, they're saying the same thing. And the thing I love about the story is not that it sheds light on the UFOs or demons or angels or cryptotorrestrials underneath lakes and volcanoes. The thing

I love about it. And I didn't, I didn't even get to read the abstract from the paper, but they say, in the spirit of epistemic humility and openness, these views deserve genuine consideration. The thing I love is that in the year of our Lord, 2004, Harvard scientists are now finally suspecting what illiterate ancient shepherds knew instinctively and intuitively. Yeah, there's some weird stuff in this world and, you know, maybe, and there's some weird, it seems like ancient civilizations where we can't, it doesn't quite make sense, we don't really know a lot about this world and there's a spiritual component to the world and there's angels and demons and stuff, you know, that illiterate Palestinian shepherds in the first century understood that, just as a matter

of course. And then it's just, you know, it's the IQ bell curve meme. It's, they go, oh, it's probably like demons and stuff. And then the midwits, they say, no, it's got to be actually, it might be from planet Zebulon 7, the thing and the butt and the do putt and the dee, and then you get up to the highest part of the Ackybelker. It's probably just interdimensional demons. Yeah, that's true. Okay. We are now entering the member of segmentum.
