1. Introduction to Lily Phillips and Her OnlyFans Stunt

Timestamp: 00:00-01:39

Ben Shapiro opens the episode by highlighting a troubling societal issue through the story of Lily Phillips, a 23-year-old who gained notoriety for her OnlyFans account. Lily orchestrated a provocative stunt in October, engaging in sexual activities with 101 men in a single day, subsequently documenting the experience in her film titled "I Slept with 100 Men in One Day."

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (00:00): "There's something deeply broken about our society... one of those symptoms is Lily Phillips."
• Lily Phillips (00:53): "It's not for the weak girls, if I'm honest. It was hard. I don't know if I'd recommend it."
• Lily Phillips (01:35): "It's very like being a... it's just a different feeling. I don't know how to explain it."

Despite the emotional and physical toll, Lily remains undeterred, planning an even more extreme challenge to engage with 1,000 men in 24 hours, aiming to set a world record.

2. The Moral Debate: Consent vs. Sanctity

Timestamp: 01:40-25:19

Ben delves into a philosophical analysis of Lily's actions, questioning why such behavior is deemed unacceptable in modern society. He references social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's moral matrices from "The Righteous Mind," outlining six dimensions of morality:

1. Care vs. Harm
2. Liberty vs. Oppression
3. Fairness vs. Cheating
4. Loyalty vs. Betrayal
5. Authority vs. Subversion
6. Sanctity vs. Degradation

Shapiro argues that while liberals prioritize care, liberty, and fairness, conservatives encompass all six, including sanctity and degradation. He contends that Lily's actions transcend mere consent, violating deeper societal values about the sacredness of human relationships and the human soul.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (04:30): "Consent is considered the highest and perhaps the only value... conservatives care about all six matrices, including sanctity versus degradation."
• Ben Shapiro (14:15): "Disgust is a useful thing. It has actually kept human beings alive for eons."

Shapiro emphasizes that the obsession with consent alone neglects the profound emotional and moral implications of such actions, leading to societal degradation where the sacred is undermined.

3. Societal Implications and the Decline of the Sacred

Timestamp: 25:20-39:05

Continuing his analysis, Shapiro critiques the modern secular left's focus on consent, arguing it inadequately addresses the moral degradation evident in platforms like OnlyFans. He references historical perspectives from philosophers like Robert Nisbet and Emile Durkheim to underscore the importance of distinguishing between the sacred and the profane in maintaining societal cohesion.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (30:00): "The philosopher Robert Nisbet says that community is possible only with a sense of the sacred and the profane."
• Ben Shapiro (34:45): "OnlyFans is a blight. Young men and women are being destroyed by OnlyFans."

Shapiro posits that without a collective reverence for the sacred, society devolves into the profane, eroding meaningful human connections and moral standards.

4. Case Study: United Healthcare CEO Shooting

Timestamp: 19:00-26:44

Shapiro shifts focus to the tragic shooting of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, perpetrated by Luigi Mangione. He dismisses conspiracy theories surrounding the incident, presenting evidence that links Mangione to the crime through forensic analysis, including shell casings and matching fingerprints.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (19:50): "The 3D printed gun matches shell casings found at the crime scene."
• Ben Shapiro (24:10): "This is, in fact, terrorism when you are attempting to affect political change through murder."

He critiques the politicization of the event, emphasizing that personal grievances against the healthcare system do not justify such acts of violence, underscoring the sanctity of human life.

5. Political Landscape: Trump’s Resurgence and Biden’s Decline

Timestamp: 26:45-39:05

Shapiro provides an analysis of the current political climate, highlighting former President Donald Trump's resurgence in public approval. Polls indicate significant confidence in Trump’s ability to manage the economy, foreign affairs, and immigration compared to his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (28:30): "Trump is enjoying for the first time a real honeymoon."
• Ben Shapiro (32:15): "Only 35% of the public suggests that they have no confidence in him handling the war between Russia and Ukraine."

In contrast, Shapiro portrays Joe Biden as increasingly irrelevant and unpopular, citing his administration's failures and low approval ratings.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (38:00): "Nobody thinks of Joe Biden as the President of the United States."
• Ben Shapiro (39:00): "Joe Biden is leaving in infamy."

6. Broader Political Commentary and International Relations

Timestamp: 39:06-48:01

Shapiro touches upon international relations, notably Donald Trump’s provocative comment about annexing Canada. He references Canadian political figures' backlash against such statements, portraying them as overreactions to Trump's theatrics.

Notable Quotes:

• Justin Trudeau (46:04): "Everywhere, women's rights and women's progress is under attack..."
• Ben Shapiro (46:39): "We will be greeted as liberators... Donald Trump will roll in there with like three of his boys and just take over all of Canada."

He further criticizes Democratic figures and policies, emphasizing a divide between the party’s elite and the general American populace, especially on issues like racial equity and the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) movement.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Shapiro (43:20): "68% of Americans believe in colorblindness... revealing the vast gap between Democratic elites and the rest of the country."
