Why is there a lot of in the Potomac river right now? Well, a 1960s era sewer pipeline northwest of the nation's capital collapsed in January, flooding the iconic river with millions of gallons of wastewater. And what's in that wastewater? Well, the pipeline that Collapsed is a 54 mile sanitary sewer system called the Potomac Interceptor. It moves raw sewage and household wastewater from Maryland and Virginia to a wastewater treatment plant in Southwest Washington D.C. according to DC Water, more than 243 million gallons of that wastewater has flowed into the river since the rupture occurred. The majority spilled out in the first five days and put some not so healthy things into the water. A week after this water quality sampling Found E. Coli near the site to be more than a thousand times what the EPA considers safe for swimming. Gross E. Coli levels have significantly dropped in the weeks since, but health officials still recommend avoiding contact with the river for both humans and pets.

A (11:32)

And pet not even good enough for pets. The Potomac has been poisoned. The river in Washington, D.C. is swampier than ever. Tons of E. Coli, human excrement, sewage. Hundreds of millions of gallons of that sewage. Worst sewage spill in American history. Hey, who's running the DC Water utility?

C (11:55)

You know, when I arrived at DC Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our, to our industry. It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top. But this is a utility that's, you know, more than 70% people of color work at this utility. And I really believe, and I still believe, and it has been fantastic. The outcomes have been fantastic. But the people at the top, the executive, the chiefs in that C suite, they should look like the employees that they serve and that they work with. And the same thing with the community. And so my executive team looks exactly like the community. It looks like the, the employees, the staff, you know, be it people of color, women, men, and it is, it's just a fantastic team that has come together to do a lot of great things here at DC Water and in the community for the customers.

A (12:54)

DEI strikes again. This time striking at the heart of our nation, the imperial capital, now absolutely fetid and disgusting, with hundreds of millions of gallons of human excrement. Okay, I think we have to examine our first principles here. This guy comes in, what's his name? David Gaddis, the CEO. He comes in, he says, there are too many white people running this utility. We need to get rid of the white people. The white people are very, very bad. So he gets rid of the white people and he brings in non white people. And then the utility collapses in the most spectacular way we've ever seen in the United States. This is not to say that non white people can't run a water utility. Presumably they could. This is to say, however, that perhaps expertise in running water is to be preferred in the C suite rather than skin color. This is further to question the premise that the C suite of an organization or a public utility should physically resemble the lower level employees. I don't even know how to argue against that because the initial claim is such a non sequitur. It's kind of like arguing against I had eggs for breakfast, purple scooter, flamma lama, ding dong. There's actually no connection whatsoever between the premise and the conclusion. And so I'm not even sure how to argue against it. But if the idea was that his premise was going to lead to excellent water utilities, well, that obviously hasn't happened, and so his premises are wrong. A reminder also that all the diversity stuff. We were talking about this yesterday with Jeremy Carl, who's up for a top State Department job, and Chris Murphy in the Senate, Democrat. And Cory Booker accused him of being a white nationalist, and they accused him of believing in the evil Great Replacement Theory. And the evil Great Replacement Theory, of course, is that there is. It's an evil, terrible conspiracy theory that holds that there is a political project afoot to reduce the proportion of white people in a given society. And the difference, of course, between that and diversity, equity and inclusion is that diversity, equity and inclusion and is just the noble, wonderful political project to reduce the portion of white people in a given society. Some would say they're the exact same thing. It's just DEI viewing that project favorably is good. And the Great Replacement Theory, viewing that very same project unfavorably is an evil, terrible lie and a conspiracy theory. In any case, the way that the libs were able to sell DEI to the ordinary normie voter was to say, oh, it's not that really big a deal. Look, we like brown people, we like women, we like homosexuals, we like. Whatever. And so we're just gonna force them in. We don't think there are enough of them. And so we're gonna pick an arbitrary number and that's how many of them we want in. And yeah, we're gonna have to unjustly discriminate against white people and men. But it's okay, isn't it? Great, because then we'll get more of those people we like. And you know what? It's no big deal. Nothing's really gonna change. There can be real consequences to this. Hundreds of millions of gallons of excrement coming to a town near you, whether literally or figuratively coming to a town near you when you reform your political order on unjust premises such as this kind of discrimination. Okay, Speaking of bad government, Zoran Mamdani just admitted that he killed 16 New Yorkers. I think the number actually rose to 20 during the recent freeze. No one's really reporting on this, but it was as clear an implicit admission as ever we saw. First, though, speaking of death and life, I wanna tell you about preborn. Go to preborn.com knowles k n a w l e s 80,000 babies. That is how many lives were saved last year through Our sponsor, preborn and preborn supporters like you. Right now, thousands of women are being told the same heartbreaking lie. That abortion is their only choice, that they're on their own, that there's no way forward. But everything shifts. The moment an expectant mother walks into a preborn network clinic and sees her baby on that ultrasound screen, in that instant, her chance of choosing life doubles. It's not abstract anymore. It's her baby created in God's image, a sacred life meant to be cherished and protected. When she hears that heartbeat for the very first time, a divine bond is formed. Today, we can all support a mother in need. One preborn donor put it beautifully. My mother chose life. That's the only reason I'm here today. And that's exactly why I give to preborn, so other mothers can make that same choice. A donation of 28 bucks provides one ultrasound that could save a life and impact generations to come. I personally support this organization. I think they do incredible work. 100% of the money that you give will go towards saving babies. They fundraise for admin overhead separately. Call pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby. Or go to preborn.com knowles k n a W L E S to donate securely today. Preborn.comKnowles by the way, folks, if you want to watch Bar Fight, new episode coming out on Saturday, the only way to watch it is on DailyWire. Plus, so you got to get the app on your phone, on your iPad, on your computer, on your tv, get the app, watch Bar fight, become a member of DailyWire. AP reporting. Very, very liberal news outlet. The Associated Press reporting Zoran Mamdani reboots homeless encampment sweeps in New York City. They're kind of playing this down a little bit. Zoran Mamdani reboots. He's rebooting. This is kind of fun. It's like the latest Marvel movie. Homeless encampment sweeps in New York City. What do you mean reboot? Why has he got to reboot it? Oh, because if that headline were honest, it would say Zoran Mamdani reverses his own policy to stop removing homeless encampments in New York City. But wait a second. It's February. It's February 19th. Zorra Momdani has been in office for like, five minutes. So that's actually a pretty big news story. There was a policy. He came in and enacted a new policy. He reversed the old policy. He put in his new policy, and then something happened. And then he's now rebooting the old policy like five seconds later. What happened must have been pretty dramatic, whatever happened. Oh, right. He killed 20 New Yorkers within just a few days. He killed 13 by leaving these homeless out on the street. He let 13 freeze to death and three overdose. I guess three or four more died in the days that followed. A reminder that Zoran's policy, which was sold as compassion. It's compassionate to let schizophrenics and drug addicts live on the street. It's compassionate to let them be exposed to the elements. It's compassionate to let them kill themselves with drugs and rape each other and mug each other. And it's compassionate to let innocent, normal, law abiding New Yorkers have to deal with people who are at least crazy and possibly criminal wherever they go in the city. That's compassionate, right? Turns out it's not compassionate to anybody. But don't let him live this down. This was Zoran Mamdani campaigning just a few months ago.

D (20:34)

He's done since the start of his administration. Thousands of swepts have happened since 2024, but no one has been offered permanent housing. And I think the data from May was 114 were offered in trouble. Will you continue those weeks they were asking you not to.

A (20:48)

No, no, no. There it is. No, I will not sweep the homeless. This old policy under the Adams administration, going back further. No, not gonna do it. And he realized he was wrong like that. Same thing with his economic policies. He's already out of money. He already doesn't have money for his policies. Do not let them take the spotlight off Mamdani. Mamdani's win was heralded as a great sign for Democrats come November. We're headed toward a blue wave. Americans are sick of Trump and these conservative policies. This guy, Zoran Mamdani, the poster child of the young, new, cool hip Democrat Party, has failed and admitted that he's failed in record time. I've never seen anything like this in all of politics. One month. He's reversing his signature policies because he killed a bunch of people in like a month. That's what Democrats can promise you in November. What they can promise you in November is failure, poverty, death and excrement in your water. That's what they're gonna promise you, okay? And they're gonna do it fast if they win. Okay? Now, given all of the real factual disadvantages that the Democrats have cause Trump is doing very well. The Republicans are doing very well on just practical policies, and the Dems are Leaving you with sewage and death. How are the Democrats going to spin things come November? Probably the most disgusting display I've seen from the Democrats in years. CNN is actually trying to tell you that the conclusion from the assassination of Charlie Kirk that we should all draw is that the real threat to America comes from the conservatives.

D (22:37)

Well, for the past several months, I've been working on a special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America. If you're not familiar, Christian nationalism is an ideology rooted in the belief that our country was founded as a Christian nation and that our laws and institutions should reflect Christian values. Put a pause here in the lead up to.

A (22:56)

So it's this crazy belief. Christian nationalism is the crazy belief that America was founded as a Christian nation. You know, like, I mean, could you imagine, like if, as if America were founded by a ship full of extremely zealous Christians who called themselves pilgrims and then more ships of extremely zealous Christians called themselves Puritans, said that the country would be a model of Christian charity in a shiny city on a hill, for instance, a self conception of America that would be consistently reaffirmed up to and including through the presidency of Ronald Reagan, who recited those very same words in the 1980s. You know, the kind of country that says like, in God we trust on our money or in God do we trust in our national anthem. The kind of country that, say, I don't know, the founding Fathers would have described as being founded on the principles of Christian morality and sharing a common religion. For instance, the kind of country that would be founded with a constitution that recognized established Christian churches in multiple US States, for instance. Just hypothetically, could you imagine that possibility? Please pardon the lengthy diatribe. Just wanna point out, by her own definition, Christian nationalism is like the only proper way to view the American political project. She goes further on Christian nationalism even than I do, albeit out of ignorance. Okay, keep going.

D (24:23)

My hour long documentary this weekend we're gonna bring you a preview of what you'll see starting off with the assassination of Charlie Kirk last year. Experts say it was a pivotal moment for the movement and an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration as they honored him. September 21, 2025.

A (24:53)

America is in. A nation in grief, a nation in shock, and a nation in mourning. Charles James Kirk was heinously murdered.

E (25:11)

That young man, I forgive him.

D (25:22)

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent Christian nationalist, was assassinated. It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message.

A (25:32)

Our greatest evangelist for American liberty became

D (25:37)

immortal and it was a call to action.

A (25:43)

My charge to all of you, put Christ at the center of your life as he advocated for giving his. The memorial service was one of the most potent examples of this shift in our culture that we're experiencing right now where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, radicalized. Put a pause there. It is. You're waiting. So you see this guy, this complete loser. You don't know if he's a loser at first. You think maybe he's just. He's saying, look, this was a big shift in our culture. This is a big shift in our. I agree. I was there. I was there at Charlie's memorial service. I was there at Erica's beautiful speech. I was there when the entire government came out and they gave these beautiful evangelistic memorials for Charlie. It was just absolutely gorgeous. I was there. He says, this was a pivotal moment. And you say, okay, go on. For radicalization. I say, what a freaking loser. These people. It's unbelievable. You almost couldn't make it up. The takeaway from Charlie's memorial service from the assassination of Charlie Kirk is that the real threat is conservatives. Hold on. Wrap it up, cnn. And then I'll get to what this means. That say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians rights. It's just crazy that Charlie Kirk and the people like him would ever imagine that they were the persecuted ones. After a leftist LGBT activist shot Charlie Kirk on television, on stream, in front of hundreds or thousands of people, after the same kind of LGBT left wing assassin who has repeatedly targeted and attempted and threatened and tried to kill a lot of conservatives over the last decade after one of them actually pulled it off, Actually pulled it off, killed one of the most gracious guys in American politics, one of the great coalition builders who, who just tried to talk it out and have civil discourse and who was very, very effective after that guy was slain. And then his heroic wife shows up on stage and along with the entire Trump administration practically, but led by Charlie's heroic wife, gets up there and encourages what? Retribution, violence, vigilantism. Like the left would be encouraging. Like the left constantly perpetrates. No, it's. Encourages Christian virtue as a response. Unbelievable. Unbelievable beauty. I mean, we were all tearing up at least, or crying in the room. And it wasn't just Erika. You hear Pete Hegsett there. You heard the Secretary of State, the Vice president, the president, on and on and on the entire room encouraging Christian virtue as a response to the left and killing one of Our leaders then celebrating killing one of our leaders and encouraging killing more of our leaders as well as ordinary rank and file members and the Grieving widow, the organization that the guy founded, and the entire Trump administration encourages Christian virtue as a response. And CNN comes out with this putrid, disgusting documentary, far more toxic than whatever excrement is in the Potomac right now. And they say, actually, you know what? After one of us shot Charlie Kirk and then we all celebrated, you know what? We need to conclude that conservatives are the real threat. These people make me want to vomit. And how do we respond to this? There's a real key in here. There's a real key, which is the expert so called says, you know, when Charlie Kirk was shot, this was a pivotal moment. There was this unity around what a Christian nationalism. Let me tell you something. If you don't like Christian nationalism, wait till you see unchristian nationalism. You don't like the religious right, wait until you see the irreligious right. Because you're not gonna like that. I promise you. I promise you that. But they said there was this moment of unity and we had to stop it. The Democrats had to stop it. The liberal activists had to stop it. The liberal media had to stop it. Demons, I think, had to stop it. Like literal demons had to stop it. They didn't like that unity. And then what does the right do? The right reacts to that. And the right is always infighting. And then there are all these jealous, jockeying people who are always. That's just constantly true on the right. They're always just jockeying for position, sometimes motivated by ideology, often just motivated by personal gain. And everyone's always fighting with each other. And, you know, that's not my mo. I try not to get involved in that because it's a lose, lose. The people who are always trying to do the infighting, they love it when you talk about them. That's what they want. And the people who don't love don't just do it for attention, but the ones who actually are doing it for ideological struggles. There's no benefit to coalitional unity if you talk about it. You don't want to give, you don't want to give these people what they want. You especially, you don't want to give CNN what it wants. Keep your eyes on the prize, because the left is, the left recognizes that unity in the wake of Charlie's assassination, which we had at least for a little bit. And maybe we still, I think in the real world, we actually substantially do still have that, that kind of unity. That kind of focus, that kind of clarity of purpose, that kind of clarity of who opposes us is very, very potent. And they're trying to take it down. And their real issue is not even with Charlie Kirk or Erica or tpusa or Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio or JD Vance or Donald Trump. You know who their real issues with? It's the subject of the documentary. Their real issue is with Christianity. Christianity is a guiding political principle, which means that their real issue is with Christ. Their real issue is with God. The Dems see very clearly what they have to do to win in November. We should see that clearly too. We should recognize whatever factional I don't like this. I don't like this person. I don't like that candidate. I don't like this broadcaster. I don't whatever. If it's contrary to common purpose, just ignore it. Just ignore it and move on. And keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused. Now, speaking of clearing the air, I want to tell you about my absolute favorite, favorite air purifier. And that is Rabbit Air.

Speaking of left wing violence, mention this at the top of the show. I don't even know if this counts as a news story anymore when it happens every day. Is it a news story? A woman has set fire to a Kansas City warehouse that is said to be an ICE detention facility. You can see the woman. This is posted By Rapid Report 2025 she's pouring some kind of gasoline somehow, butane or something, onto the facility. A lighter fluid. I don't know. These women, man. These women. In the wake of crazy Peggy Flanagan, Lieutenant governor of Minnesota, organizing the anti ICE protests, riots, obstructing police, Renee Goode, the poor woman who wound up getting herself killed because she thought it was a good idea to go out and play Captain Marvel on behalf of Venezuelan child rapists. She thought that'd be really smart. Then she was gonn to drive her SUV into a cop and she didn't think there'd be any consequences because why? I don't know. Because something clearly went a little wrong in her brain. Something clearly went a little wrong in her emotions. But it's all these people. It's not just women, but it is disproportionately women. It's disproportionately like this kind of woman who is doing this. And do you know why it's happening? Can I say it? This is gonna be a little bit politically incorrect, but it's 100% accurate. It's because these women need husbands. That's why. That's why these women are going crazy, because they don't have husbands. In some cases, maybe technically they're married, but they are married in 100% of cases, to complete schlub jokers who don't actually husband their wives. And in a lot of cases, they're not married. And you see this reflected in broader social data that women are putting off getting married. And now, for the first time ever, high school boys want to get married at a higher rate than high school girls. Completely insane. Single women now believe. 55% of single women now believe that single women are happier than married women. So you see this major decline in marriage. And even the women who do get married marry these effeminate eunuchs who are, practically speaking, not really husbands. And women need husbands, and men need wives. Men need wives because wives, as we have often observed on the daily wire, wives civilize men. They domesticate men to a certain degree. They force men, paradoxically, not only to be domesticated, but to become even more tough, even more ferocious. Because now the men have responsibilities and they gotta go out there and they gotta bring home the bacon and they gotta protect their family. And so weirdly, marriage makes men both a little bit softer, a little bit more sensitive, but also tougher at the same time. So men need to get married, but women need to get married too. Cause women can be completely nuts, and you know that. And ladies, I'm talking to you. You know that too. Women can be real kooky. And sometimes women need their husbands to say, hey, honey, and lovingly, but hey, honey, you're a little bit crazy right now and you need to calm down and you need to put down the can of gasoline. Honey, I know you're upset by whatever you saw on TikTok, but you can't go burn down the ICE facility. I know your mother said that thing to you the other day and you're really angry because your sister's not even taking your side in it. I know. No, I know, honey, but you can't drive your SUV into a cop. You can. And actually, even if you were just focused on the issue at hand, you should not endanger your life and the life of a police officer to defend a Venezuelan child rapist. You. No, no. Women need that. They need husbands. Husbands need wives too. But wives need husbands. And these women need to be married. And if they are technically married to men, the men need to act like men and not like eunuchs. Have I made my point clear? Do I need to be more clear? I'm not sure I could be more clear about that point. Speaking of marriage, the United nations has a very important message for everyone. The message is a child should never be in a marriage. Endchildmarriage n fpa. Okay, every three seconds writes the un, a girl is married somewhere in the world. Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential. That's so true. This Valentine's Day, join UN FPA in speaking out against this form of gender based violence. That's so true. Except wait a second. The picture that the UN used is of a little lily white blonde haired girl. That's kind of weird, isn't it? I mean, look, maybe that's referring to rotherham. Maybe that's referring to the Pakistani grooming gangs in the UK that even the UK authorities don't want to talk about cuz they're too busy making a big spectacle out of Prince Andrew. Maybe that's what's going on. But are little white blonde girls entering into Child marriages, which are really just a kind of a form of rape. Let's look at the statistics. Where is the highest prevalence of child marriage? The highest prevalence of child marriage? Is it in the Nordic countries with those blonde white girls? Is it in England, is it in Canada? Is it. Oh no, it's in sub Saharan Africa where one in three girls are subject to child marriage. 33% of girls. Okay, well surely, I mean, look, the UN would never lie or misrepresent politics. So surely the second most prevalent group in child marriages, that must be the blonde lily white girls, right? No, it's actually India and Bangladesh. India and Bangladesh, which are so populous that they actually constitute a third of all child marriages. Okay, well come on, those awful colonizing blonde white people must be guilty of this somewhere, right? No, the next group is the indigenous and black populations of Latin America and the Caribbean. Not even the total population, specifically the indigenous and African descended populations of Latin America and the Caribbean. Two to three times the prevalence of people with white background. And then. Okay, after that. Please, come on, please. It's gotta be England, it's gotta be Ireland, it's gotta be. Nope, it's Middle East, North Africa. And when you finally get to this occurring in European countries, it's gypsies. So again I say this not to inveigh against the sub Saharan Africans or the Indians or the Bangladeshis or the indigenous or the black population or the Caribbean, whatever, the mena. The gypsies. Gypsies actually. Well, it's a topic for another time. But anyway, no, we like all of these people, they're all children of God. We don't mean to, but we will not solve political problems if we lie about the problem. And the UN has to lie about the problem because the UN has adopted an ideology that says white people are always bad and non white people are always good. And that's the ideology that liberal woke globalism adopts. And the problem is that the actual rapes in this case are entirely non white people. Entirely. So if you're looking, if you're gonna start investigating the little blonde communities, you're not gonna catch a single child marriage. If you wanna stop, just broadly, if you wanna stop the sexual ab, sending the coppers to go arrest Prince Andrew at one of the royal estates is going to do precisely nothing and everyone kind of knows it. There are a lot of places you could go in England to stop child rape that's going on right now. But the authorities generally won't even do that because the perpetrators, they don't look the right way. Stopchildmarriage. But don't admit who's actually engaging in the child marriages. We can't admit that. Okay, so you don't want to stop it. Okay, that's fine. When given the choice between fixing political problems and giving up a false political ideology, the liberals and I'm sorry, And maintaining a false political ideology. The liberals will always choose to maintain the false ideology. They will never fix the problem. They will let the homeless people die on the streets until they're truly heinously pressured to stop it. And by the way, they're still gonna let the homeless die in the streets. Cuz they're not gonna fix the drug laws and they're not probably not even gonna enforce the homeless encampment rule. They're not going to stop the child abuse, they're not going to stop the violence in the streets. And more Muslim violence taking place every moment we look. They're not gonna stop any of that. You could have just to go back to the CNN point. The most prominent conservative activist in the country slain by the most typical. It's almost a caricature of a left wing activist. The young LGBT freak, super online radical shoots Charlie Kirk. And they will find a way to blame Charlie Kirk. They will find a way to blame the conservative. Because you could have the Atlantic magazine saying, you know, political terrorism is actually a left wing problem now. When given the choice between fixing the problem and keeping their false ideology, they will always choose the ideology. Every single time. Okay. Speaking of lgbt, another day, another heinous story about a trans identifying lunatic who is being released by the authorities to go commit more crimes.

Whereas I'm someone who did something heinous and I'm on social media, whereas a lot, pretty much all the other people who do something heinous, get locked in a box and blocked out from society and they don't get to talk to them.

A (47:06)

So like,

F (47:11)

does it put me at risk? I'm already at risk, So whatever.

A (47:20)

Okay, so for the libs who watch this show, and I'm always appreciative to the libs who watch this show, does this seem like the kind of guy who should be out on the street? The crazy costume, the crazy filthy looking hair wrapped in some sort of blanket, ostensibly living in a car, nails painted, as a man, laughing demonically, saying, am I a risk? I'm always a risk. Should that person be free to roam about the streets after stabbing a boy and a girl? Probably not, right? Probably not. So why, why is it rather than, you know, I know a lot of my friends on the right, they just get very angry about this and they say this is outrageous, you know, and they kind of beat their fists on the table. I very rarely beat my fist on the table because I want to figure out why this is happening, because I'd like to solve the problem. Why? In what kind of world would a judge let this person out on the street? In what kind of world would society tolerate this? Or even encourage this guy with every red flag to dye his hair crazy colors, not to bathe, to paint his nails, to be released after stabbing children, to admit that he is a risk to people and then still leave him on the street, not immediately arrest him. The cause of this, I think is pretty simple. It is expressive individualism. It is the fact that we have exalted expressive individualism as our national ideology. That term was coined by Robert Bellah. I think it was Bella who coined the term. And expressive individualism says that self actualization is the highest goal. So expressive individualism in its very nature opposes traditional because tradition doesn't allow you to express yourself in your full individuality. Supposedly expressive individualism creates thin relationships because we're all just individuals. So even when you get married, you could get divorced at any time. It's all just about you. It's all about whether or not your partner is serving your needs, your kids are really just accoutrement and enjoyment for you. It's all just about you. Nations are really just about you. You don't really sacrifice for the nation. You just try to figure out what you can get out of the nation. And it promotes a therapeutic telos. So the aim of life is to make yourself feel good. The aim of the Christian telos is to go to heaven, to know God, to love him. And serve him in this world and to be with him forever in eternity. That's the end of the Christian life. The end of the stoic life is to live virtuously. Actually, plenty of pagan traditions say that the end of life is to live virtuously. The end of the hedonic life of hedonism is to have pleasure. Whether we're talking about base pleasures or even whether we're talking about higher or intellectual pleasures. That's what the end of that life is. The end of expressive individualism is therapy is just to feel really, really yourself, to be authentic, whatever that means, to be that which is uniquely you and not in any way affected by anything else. But of course this is impossible because we're memetic creatures. So you can never actually separate yourself from your environment. You can never actually remove yourself from time and space. So it leads to people just going completely nuts. And I guess the most extreme form of that, you see this throughout society. But the most extreme form of that is probably in the trans ideology, which is why the trannies are much more violent, certainly against themselves. 41% suicide rate and a 7% yearly suicide attempt rate. But they're violent against other people too. The FBI just released some numbers yesterday that in the past five years, the incidents, the active shooter incidents involving an adult trans identifying male are double that of those involving an adult normal male. So anyway, it's violent, it leads to craziness. It leads to this guy cackling like a demon saying, ha ha ha ha ha. I'm a risk to everybody. Ha ha ha ha ha. So that if that's the root cause and we don't want to just treat the symptoms, then actually it's not enough just to make fun of the trannies. I don't really want to make fun of the trannies. I feel very bad for the. It's not even enough to try to treat the. Try to, you know, circumscribe transgender. We don't trans the kids, but the adults. We leave them to be, to do whatever they want to harm themselves. Just like Zo Run Mamdani leaves the homeless to die in the streets of New York. That's not enough. We actually have to look even further into ourselves and into our political order. Are we gonna say self actualization, expressive individualism is the highest goal? As many people on the right say. Are we gonna say, no, there's something more important. Tradition, order, Christianity, say, religious truth, grace, virtue. Are those the highest end? Until we're willing to say that we're not Even really treating the symptom. We're barely treating the symptom. And the problem will only get worse.

What was it like, Merlin? To be alone with God? Is that who you think I was alone with? Martin, I knew your father.

A (53:06)

I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.

E (53:12)

All men know of the great Taliesin who are my father. That the gods should war for my soul. Princess Garrus, savior of our people. I know what the bull God offered you. I was offered the same. And there is a new pirate work in the world. I've seen seen it. A God who sacrifices what he loves for us. We are each given only one life.

A (53:39)

Singer. No.

E (53:42)

And we're given another. I learned of Yazu the Christ and I have become his follower.

C (53:50)

He's waiting on a miracle.

A (53:51)

And I think you can give him one.

E (53:53)

Trust in Yezu. He is the only hope for men like us. A to Britain never rests in the hands of the great light. Great light, Great darkness. Such things mattered to me then. What matters to you now? Mistress of lies, you, nephew. The sword of a high king. How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield? So clinging to the promises of a God who has abandoned you. I cannot take up that sword again. You know what you must do.

A (54:35)

Great life.

E (54:36)

Forgive me. The time has come to be reborn.

A (54:50)
