WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.639 Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.839 not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been 3 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.480 documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean 4 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:32.920 to the right. Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Todd Hoff. 5 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.960 Greetings one and all, and welcome to the Todd Huff Show, the home 6 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:46.159 of Conservative not Bitter. As you probably guessed by the accent and the inflection, 7 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.640 this is not Todd. This is Chris Dunham, filling in again for 8 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.960 my dear friend Todd. Thank you so much again for giving me the grace 9 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.759 of sitting behind your microphone. For those of you who have heard me before, 10 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.319 I'm assuming that you kind of understand my style and my substance, or 11 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.560 maybe just my style because they may not be too much substance. But I'm 12 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.120 always grateful when Todd asked me to fill in for him as he takes that 13 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:22.319 well deserved break. In addition to talking about current events and all of the 14 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.480 things that normally go on in talk radio, I like to occasionally bring these 15 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:33.719 diatribes, which are so much more of a commentary on the current situation we 16 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.680 experience and we live in. I don't know if the other episode that I 17 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.640 did was played simultaneously or past this week. I'm not very familiar with the 18 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:51.640 radio method, but in one of the other things that I did in filling 19 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.239 in for Todd, I talked about the honest hypocrisy of our day. Today. 20 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.079 I want to talk about something which I see as very evident in the 21 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.040 world we live in, and I just called this mood rationing of rationality. 22 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.080 It seems that common sense is now almost in a supply and demand situation. 23 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.960 The demand for common sense seems to be at an all time high, but 24 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:23.039 the supply of common sense seems to be choked. In addition to the supply 25 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.199 chain issues that have curtailed or prevented the flow or free flow of goods and 26 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:35.159 services that have allowed prices to skyrocket across the fruited plain, we see a 27 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:42.240 rationale being thwarted as well. There is almost a shortage of common sense, 28 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.280 both in the media, in the movies, in arts and entertainment, in 29 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.599 theory, in literature, in governance, in leadership. It's almost everywhere we 30 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.919 turn, the opposite of what we think should actually work seems to be the 31 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.560 rule of the day. It's almost as if it makes no sense that people 32 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.000 will look at a calamity that takes place in our presence, And most recently 33 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.840 we have witnessed this when the derailment of that train took place that caused all 34 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.919 those toxic chemicals to spill into the atmosphere. Issues immediately came to the forefront 35 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.639 of whether a breaking mechanism would have allowed that to stop, whether more people 36 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.240 on it would have prevented the disaster. Regardless of it, it took twenty 37 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.680 days for people to kindly and favorably craft their opinion so that when they opened 38 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.680 their mouth, they would absolve themselves of any responsibility for it. And it 39 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:49.840 is fascinating that you look at a train that derails today and blame the policies 40 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.639 and procedures of a man who has not been in office for a number of 41 00:03:53.759 --> 00:04:00.439 years now. But this whole concept is that rationing of rationality. All almost 42 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.000 believe, in this leadership vacuum that we live in, that blaming the past 43 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:11.319 for the present is just the easiest way to give yourself a past for the 44 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:16.800 erroneous way in which our policies and procedures seem to come forth. Every day 45 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.720 when I switch on, and I try my best not to, but if 46 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.800 I listen to things here and there, I get glimpses of stupidity. That 47 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.959 I mean, it's almost like a stampede of stupidity. It's almost like it's 48 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.720 galloping down and there's an entire herd of stupidity heading towards me. And if 49 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.560 I don't get out of the way, I'm going to run over. But 50 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.000 even if I try to get out of the way, I'm boundaried by stupidity 51 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.480 on the side. And then if I back into it, I back into 52 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.079 stupidity, and I'm just like cornered. I cannot give you a more apt 53 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.079 description of the helplessness sometimes you feel when you look at this assault on common 54 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:58.040 sense. There is not a sane person in this world that can wake up 55 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.480 any day with just a third education and look and say, if we spend 56 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.759 more that we don't have, somehow will be better. They cannot look at 57 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.800 the issues of the fact that inflation is on the rise and say we have 58 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.240 created more jobs, so the economy is doing better now than it ever was. 59 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.519 In what world are they dreaming? In? What world is their reality? 60 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.120 And then you begin to realize their reality is not our reality. The 61 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.000 people who get up there, I mean, think about it. A television 62 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.839 anchor that makes a million dollars a year to report the news cannot ever be 63 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:41.800 objective because they've already been bought to the tune of a million. Their idea 64 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.720 of objectivity goes out of the window because the craft which they work in cannot 65 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.000 be objective anymore. Otherwise the money wouldn't be there unless you toured the line. 66 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.879 And the reason I'm going down this path is again the only thing. 67 00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.959 I don't do a lot of advertising when I come on other people's shows, 68 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.639 so they asked me to fill in track me if you want. The name 69 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.480 is Chrish Dunham. You can just follow that or just type an Indian motivational 70 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.639 speaker and you should find me. But off late I've started writing some of 71 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.240 these satirical things, almost in a sarcastic vein. It's in a it's called 72 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.240 sub stack, which is just a free place to post articles and you can 73 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.879 subscribe to that. It's a free subscription. But what I do is I 74 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.360 give you a chuckle. I make words dance a little bit and parse it 75 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.319 around a little bit. So you can enjoy it. My background is I'm 76 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.399 a first generation immigrant who came to America with nine dollars in my pocket in 77 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.199 nineteen eighty six. Many moons have passed through that, and we've had great 78 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.839 ups and downs in this journey we've called our American Dream. But now when 79 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.000 we look back thirty seven years later, the days of Reagan are long gone. 80 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.240 We are living in some very perilaus times. But the times are not 81 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.959 contradicting themselves because of the fact that we are living in them and cannot under 82 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.439 stand them. The times are almost dastardly in fact that they are diabolical in 83 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.399 the way they are being presented to us with a careful erosion. If they 84 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.240 repeat something often enough, and they state it regularly enough, sometime after a 85 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.959 while, it becomes their truth, and no longer do they have to flinch, 86 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:24.560 because in their heart it is not a lie anymore. Because it has 87 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:30.360 been said so many times, it's probably true. So this rationing of rationality 88 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.480 that we find ourselves in is quite troubling, and it's probably a good lens 89 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.199 to look at when you look at the other current affairs of the day. 90 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.279 So when you look at one party saying that, hey, we're going to 91 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:49.399 raise money to understand the voting process and how an election may or may not 92 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.040 have been stolen, and another party says, hey, you know what, 93 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.079 we're going to raise money for the same thing to counter that. The fact 94 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.920 that integrity in elections is always in question is now out of the window, 95 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.800 and we're always now debating how we can actually further our cause within that lack 96 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.639 of integrity. Isn't this laughable? Is this what the republic that they dreamed 97 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.680 of when they wrote, in fact, in the future, I'm going to 98 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.439 write an article and it probably is going to be called the Declaration of dependence. 99 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.079 It's no longer the Declaration of independence, or it's no longer the declaration 100 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.560 that was originally chartered when the rights belong to you and I the governed. 101 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.720 It's almost as of this self sanctimonious people who elevate themselves to positions of power 102 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.120 and have a cabinet position somehow feel that they are supreme beings. No, 103 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.279 they are not lording over us. They are just giving it responsibility within the 104 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.000 grand scheme of the workings of a nation. So right now, this rationing 105 00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:01.559 of rationality is almost the byproduct of that is this whole woke culture, this 106 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.919 wok culture that doesn't stand for anything and simultaneously stands for everything. So the 107 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.279 very way in which the passivity is presented to us is, hey, we 108 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.519 need to all care for the environment, don't we? Who in their right 109 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.320 mind would object to such a nice, innocuous statement. Well, in order 110 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.879 to care for the environment, we need to protect the fact that in the 111 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.759 future, this beautiful air that we breathe and this nature that was given to 112 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.759 us should be there for our children, shouldn't it. Is there anybody who, 113 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.960 whether they agree with the climate alarmist or not, who's going to stand 114 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.279 up and say, no, I think we need to have smog in the 115 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.440 air so that my child has black gook coming out of his nostrils. No, 116 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.240 nobody in their rational mind would even say that or even think that. 117 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.639 But part of this thing is don't stand for anything, but simultaneously stands for 118 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.320 everything. So when they sell air, which is what they're selling, this 119 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.320 climate alarmist is saying that, hey, you know what, the oceans will 120 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.519 rise and will be underwater. Do you real want the people in Bangladesh who 121 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.639 are losing so much ground annually to the monsoon and the displacement, and the 122 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.679 people in Myanmar that are getting completely inundated by water in these makeshift shelters. 123 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.679 If we don't do something about the climate today, those people will be extinct. 124 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.440 Oh man. The horror of watching a national geographic channel and seeing these 125 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.240 people struggling for survival in another part of the world that you cannot even comprehend. 126 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.919 While the debate is being articulated by people who fly on a private jet 127 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.159 and gather in Switzerland to make the decision of how to protect the natives in 128 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.919 Bangladesh. Many of them have never been to Bangladesh. Many of them don't 129 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.120 even know that Bangladesh was formerly East Pakistan and India went to war with Pakistan 130 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.759 to liberate them. If you ask them the contact of it, it is 131 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:54.000 only about getting on the bandwagon of this alarmism. So that's what this woke 132 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.919 culture is, This rationing of rationality is actually I stand for everything, but 133 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.399 at the same time, if you just peel the onion, you'll very quickly 134 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.919 realize that I stand for nothing. It is a feeling and an enterprise that 135 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.399 corrects, coerces, and contradicts anything it chooses. And this is fascinating because 136 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.759 it does both things. The same people who tell you that the folks in 137 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.759 Bangladesh and the Deltas and the sunderbands of West Bengal that somehow meet the Bay 138 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.799 of Bengal as the rivers kind of empty out there as part of that fruited 139 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.320 plain. When the water comes back inside because of the monsoon rush, it'll 140 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.759 swallow up everything in its path, and those people will be completely displaced. 141 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.720 These are the same people who, at the end of the day, with 142 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.240 the millions of dollars they make and earn, buy properties in places like Martha's 143 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.480 Vineyard and on the coast of different places of Florida where there's not a bank 144 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.240 in this world that would give you a loan for thirty years if they believe 145 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.440 that in ten the property that they're financing is going to be under water. 146 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.320 Its hierarchy consists of the very rudi I tech academic, but at the same 147 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:07.759 time the unemployed anarchist. The only ones not allowed to belong to this department 148 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.080 or this thought process are people who can actually think for themselves. Hopefully you're 149 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.279 enjoying this little dialogue of rationing of rationality. More after we come back from 150 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.240 this next break. Thanks for listening so far. We'll see you after the 151 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.799 ads. Well, Welcome back to the Talk Half Show, the home of 152 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.919 Conservative Not Bitter. This is your guest host, Chris Dunham. Always grateful 153 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.960 for the privilege to express my opinions on a show that deals a lot with 154 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.480 the conservative issues of the day. Todd typically will bring you current affairs and 155 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.720 discuss them in that mellow and common sense approach that has become his style, 156 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.679 something that I have grown to enjoy in the friendship we have had over the 157 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:58.879 years. I am a first generation immigrant and befriended this family some years ago, 158 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.919 and as a result of the different encounters we have had, I've been 159 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.000 joyous and privileged to have been asked by him to come and do this from 160 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.080 time to time. I don't know how many times I filled in, but 161 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.320 I'm guessing it's nearing double digits now. It's been a joy to do this. 162 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.200 This is not my bent, this is not who I normally am. 163 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.000 I'm a social commentator. In terms of what I write. I am a 164 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:26.440 speaker and an author and an evangelist. I travel around the world and engage 165 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.960 with the academy. I'm a trained apologist in the Christian sense, I defend 166 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.320 the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the public arena, primarily the academy, the 167 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.120 educational academy, in media and in art. So a lot of what I 168 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.440 write, a lot of what I speak, is challenging the status quo of 169 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.960 what we see. Obviously, I'm a conservative. I vote down the conservative 170 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.240 ideology. I subscribe to the fact of less government and all of the other 171 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.840 things that are part of the conservative cause. But if you go back to 172 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.519 the Reaganesque model, I try to have the simplicity of trying to understand what 173 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.120 the other side believes. In addition to knowing what I believe, I do 174 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:16.600 a lot of research every day and a lot of self desirous effort to understand. 175 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.080 As an apologist, I have studied other worldviews. If I'm going to 176 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.240 defend the Christian faith and the Judeo Christian identity, I have to understand what 177 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.159 all the other people, the other seven billion, who do not subscribe to 178 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.919 this thought process belief. Because humanity, at the end of the day, 179 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.840 wants questions. The questions we are asking ourselves are where do I come from, 180 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.279 Where am I going? What am I doing here, and is there 181 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:46.320 a right and a wrong? So using that style, using that logic, 182 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.960 using that formula, using that approach, I try to bring social commentary by 183 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.440 dissecting it through the same methodology. In the previous segment, when we were 184 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.360 talking about rationing of rationality, we began to to introduce this concept of the 185 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.039 woke culture that seems to stand for everything and nothing at the same time it 186 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:13.120 somehow employs the very erudite, the very sophisticated, the very rich, the 187 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.120 very wealthy, at the same time it employs the unemployed anarchists. The person 188 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:24.879 who is completely clueless, doesn't offer anything to society and protest just because they're 189 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.240 a body that's allowed to protest. I'm sorry to be direct and harsh, 190 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.360 but at the end of the day, I understand if you want to protest 191 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.159 like in days past, at least understand what you're protesting. Many of these 192 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.879 people will stand and talk about the climate alarmism and about how the world is 193 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.720 going to be underwater, and someone will give them the talking points of Bangladesh 194 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.720 or the monsoons or some parts of Africa which are now underwater or whatever it 195 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.840 is. And geographically these people do not know why those societies are the way 196 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.360 they are anthropologically, They have no idea of why they evolved. They don't 197 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:07.039 understand why these cultures constantly build and rebuild in that makeshift way alongside the same 198 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:14.360 place. When the great tsunami hit on that faithful Christmas eve of a couple 199 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.639 of years ago, and we had that wave that kind of went and demolished 200 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.759 most of Indonesia. But on one side, it found its way as far 201 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.279 away as Gulli in Sri Lanka and parts of Chennai in India, and they 202 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:32.320 say some of those waves reached almost the South American coast. On the other 203 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.679 end, many people predicted and said, yeah, you know what, the 204 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.159 tsunami is probably the result of some kind of a climate catastrophe because we have 205 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.039 not taken care of the planet. It's easy to jump to that conclusion because 206 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.559 the earthquake took place somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But the 207 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.039 irony of ironies in which they present this thing is as they stand in protest. 208 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.440 None of them know where Sri Lanka is. None of them have visited 209 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.240 the country, none of them have gone through the ruins in Chennai. I 210 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.519 have when I went down to India after the tsunami. I walked to the 211 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.559 parts where these fishermen's villages were completely decimated. I went back there three years 212 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.319 later, and while there is a semblance of some foundations that have been appended, 213 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:21.400 people have rebuilt there. So the question is always the rationale behind this 214 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.519 is to ask ourselves why do they constantly go back there if that place is 215 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.920 constantly going to be decimated by any cyclone. The Pacific rim has a lot 216 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:36.000 of cyclones. Bangladesh gets a cyclone almost every year. The town I grew 217 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.279 up in India gets a cyclone every year. Does that mean you stop living 218 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.200 by the coast. No, that's where you make your living, if you're 219 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.279 a fisherman, or you're a tradesman of some coin and ancestrally and anthropologically, 220 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.240 that's how you made your living. That's where you're going to rebuild. But 221 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:57.559 now let's flip the equation. If we eliminate fluorocarbons and fossil fuels in America, 222 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:03.119 does that somehow in our lifetime are we going to see some kind of 223 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:08.680 an effect that would diminish the cyclone in Bangladesh? The odds are zero. 224 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.720 If you can be that kind of a predictor and that kind of a prognosticator. 225 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.559 But the shame of this is not the question of whether they are right 226 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:22.720 wrong, or whether there's a consensus in the scientific community. I don't even 227 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.720 want to debate to that extent, because maybe I'm not intellectual enough to participate 228 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.920 in that academic debate. But I have basic common sense, which seems to 229 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.039 be rational, and the common sense is asking myself, how come when you 230 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:44.640 began this cry, When you began the shout, you had a net worth 231 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:49.920 of about ten million dollars. Now suddenly, after winning an OSCARB for producing 232 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:55.640 a movie and getting a Nobel Prize for this crusade that you've been on, 233 00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.359 you suddenly are worth five hundred million dollars. All the time, you've been 234 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:07.920 vilifying the capitalistic approach of those that are mercenaries of money, so to speak. 235 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.279 But you stand very proudly with this microphone after having flown on a private 236 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.839 jet back and forth to a neutral locality, Switzerland. What better place to 237 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.400 pick than to tell your world that you care for something, go to a 238 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.279 neutral country like Switzerland. I've been to Switzerland, and in addition to everything 239 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.799 else, it is breathtakingly beautiful. And when people ask me what it's like, 240 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.920 I said, it's like one none ending recall a commercial. You will 241 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.279 never see anything as pristine and beautiful. You will never see streets so clean 242 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:44.200 as people have such great pride in their proximity. But these people stand up 243 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.599 and then I look at them and I say, wait a minute. When 244 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.559 you began this, you only had ten million dollars. Now you have four 245 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.599 hundred million dollars. Wouldn't it have been easier to try to go to Bangladesh 246 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.160 and tell the people in that one village that, hey, I've got so 247 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.839 much money that if I just bought another piece of land, a little bit 248 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:07.599 interior away from this marsh land and give you a permanent settlement, I can 249 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.160 probably do it for half of what I have. And that's probably not a 250 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.079 stretch. You can probably adopt an entire village and remove them. No, 251 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:21.319 the question is not about the amount of money they have. They want me 252 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:27.799 to sacrifice my comforts, me to put my temperature in my thermostatic seventy four 253 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.200 degrees, and they want to curtail my behavior while they jet set around not 254 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.119 worried. And the argument is always, well, you know, to get 255 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.839 from point A to point B. It's a moot point that they have to 256 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.519 fly private jet. No, it's not a moot point. You can do 257 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.400 it on zoom din COVID teach us that you can do it virtually. If 258 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.680 these guys are so great at what they are and they really care for the 259 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.319 planet. The way they say the rationale is ridiculous. You can just stay 260 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.759 in your home with your big screen and have a Bluetooth setup and a camera 261 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.160 that would focus on you and you don't have to go anyway. Your footprint 262 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.960 would be zero. But that doesn't make sense. You know, how do 263 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.759 you get a photo op? How do you get to stand to someone else 264 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.799 on another part of the planet who is equally popular in their own world with 265 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.319 the same rally crime. I've traveled to parts of Eastern Europe and all that 266 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:27.759 where people are not even worried about these so called high falute in Western problems. 267 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.759 These people are trying to look for sustenance. They've been decimated for so 268 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.559 long by ethnic strife and internal struggles that some of the things that we actually 269 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.160 every day come up with in this woke culture of ours does not even make 270 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:48.160 the radar of observation in some other parts of the world. As you can 271 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.799 see, I'm charged up to do this and I'm getting a little more excited. 272 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.359 And before I get a little ahead of myself, let me make sure 273 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.440 I'm consciousant of the fact that when we come back on the other end of 274 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.279 this commercial break, we can start actually looking at some of the solutions we 275 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:08.039 can bring to ourselves. You know, this charter aome of rationality and the 276 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:14.279 obliteration of decency is something that needs to be challenged and confronted. We'll see 277 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.759 you on the other side of the break. Well, welcome back. This 278 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:25.720 is your guest host, Chris Dunham, having fun, as the Great Maharishi 279 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.559 used to say, great, having more fun than the law allows. I 280 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.200 guess, and I think the early days you say, with one arm tie 281 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.359 with one hand tied behind my back. I just loved his turn of a 282 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:40.319 phrase. Just to irritate the people who would get irritated and offended by everything. 283 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.039 Well, we're talking about this thing called the rationing of rationality. We 284 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.559 talked about the woke culture and how they stand for something and nothing at the 285 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.119 same time. Then we progressed a little bit to talk about this whole issue 286 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:59.480 of how this woke culture will casually supply something in and make it sound so 287 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.400 cool like this climate issue. I call it alarmism, because at the end 288 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.759 of the day, you know you're going to try to do the best you 289 00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.319 can to be a decent human being. None of us is going around wanting 290 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.000 to pollute the planet. But there's something called existence that we have to live 291 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:21.119 in. I'll be grand I'll be honest with you. Even if I could 292 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.559 afford a tesla, I wouldn't buy it because I don't think it's being a 293 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.799 good steward of the resources. We have to spend sixty grand on something and 294 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:34.839 then eventually now depend on a grid that is already strained and struggling. If 295 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.799 everybody decides to go down this electric path, where are we going to get 296 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:44.279 the electricity which is already part of rolling blackouts, which is already blamed on 297 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:47.720 the climate. Because of the fact that we have this climate issue that we 298 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:52.079 are dealing with, the summers are extremely hot, the winters are extremely cold. 299 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.359 It used to be global warming. Now it's called climate change because apparently 300 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.279 it's three hundred and sixty five days a year and it's twenty four to seven. 301 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.559 I'm not a climatologist, I'm not a meteorologist. I'm not a scientist. 302 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.039 I don't have any skin in the game. I don't even understand a 303 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.440 lot of it. But let's assume, using a common sense approach, which 304 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.319 is what we're talking about, the rationing of rationality that the entire country now, 305 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.519 as they're forcing in the state of California, by the year twenty thirty, 306 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.279 every car has to be an electric car. Here's a state that does 307 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.160 not allow any more drilling because they say the water has to be natural or 308 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.599 runoff fossil fuels and all of that other stuff they've been on a war against 309 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.759 from the beginning. There's no mining that's allowed in other parts of the world. 310 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.839 So the cobalt and all that's needed to produce those batteries, I don't 311 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.640 know where it's going to come from. Just assume the fact that right now, 312 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.960 the baseline of an electric car costs you between forty and sixty thousand dollars 313 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.400 if you want a name brand, and then everybody now starts buying it. 314 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.720 The conventional logic is, if you use the capitalistic mindset, the greater the 315 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.640 demand, the lower the price. Right because things, that's how free markets 316 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.480 work. But where are they going to get the stuff to start making these 317 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.000 things that are going to allow you to be self sufficient? So if you 318 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.519 follow the thread carefully, you will realize that the amount of production that is 319 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:18.359 going to be required to create the batteries to eventually sustain an entire state level 320 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.680 on a nation or a world that is going to be completely off the elect 321 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:29.480 completely electric and off fossil fuels, you're going to have six times the amount 322 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.720 of raw materials that is going to be required. And right now there is 323 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.680 a burden on what we are able to produce, and that's why the price 324 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.440 is so high. They cannot dig this stuff out of the ground so far. 325 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.880 Now let's assume they can. Where are the places you're going to go? 326 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.680 Obviously they're saying that the deepest reserves of this are in parts of Africa 327 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:55.200 and parts of India where the components and the minerals required for this electric battery 328 00:25:55.240 --> 00:26:00.359 and this electric world and this technological revolution that you're going to have. What 329 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.200 in those parts of the world, the co firepower plants are being commissioned a 330 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.880 date of one a week or so because they're trying to keep up with the 331 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.079 demand of the world, because the demand of the world is what sustains their 332 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.400 economies. So you say we're going to eliminate fossil fugels in one part of 333 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.039 the world and make it completely electric. Well, in order to sure that 334 00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:23.160 and your supply chain is perfect, you're going to ensure that the amount of 335 00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:29.559 pollution in another part of the planet is extremely three or five ten times higher 336 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.359 just to get the stuff out of the ground. Along with that will come 337 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.680 the child labor and all of the other things that you began this fight against. 338 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.839 So there are solutions out there, but they have to be common sense 339 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.920 solutions, and you cannot just completely come off the hinge and say that you 340 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.720 know, we're going to spend ten million dollars to make the whole world green. 341 00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:53.839 That sounds good, Where are you going to get the money from. 342 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.400 So far, you haven't even been able to come out of a pandemic where 343 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.680 asked nobody even participated. They were asked to stay home, And just the 344 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:11.359 cost of replenishing that made you print and supply two trillion dollar budgets just to 345 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.799 take care of people who were not doing anything. Add to that, the 346 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:21.119 agitation of a global populace of eight billion people, and you're trying to choke 347 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.559 supply lines of how things are produced. Even if you go to the grocery 348 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.160 store today and you see all of the things that are done in the name 349 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:34.319 of radical niceties, let's eliminate the problem of weight and obesity, which is 350 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.160 good. I struggle with weight, and I wish something. Someday, someone 351 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.240 would just create a pill that I swallow and I go back to my weight 352 00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.839 that I was in college. I struggle with weight all of my life. 353 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.279 I openly admit this. I've talked about this, and I try my best. 354 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.160 But if I go to the store and look at all the things that 355 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.640 are good for me, guess what they cost five times as much as all 356 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.880 the things that I can afford. The things I can afford suppose bad for 357 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.400 me. But the things that I need to allow myself to live a clean 358 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.519 living cost an arm and a leg. They say, don't you know, 359 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.000 try to take care of the environment. Don't eat the regular eggs, take 360 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:17.240 this cage free, farm fresh whatever at all. And you know, imagine, 361 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.640 you know, you're asking yourself to pay seven dollars for a dozen eggs, 362 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.440 and that's just baseline, that's breakfast, and that's one item. How 363 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.799 then shall we live? Said Francis Schaeffer. I didn't mean to get off 364 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.720 on a downer, but I'm asking ourselves to wake up from this stupidity and 365 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:40.279 look at it and ask ourselves. Are the elite rationing rationality? There is 366 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.559 no age group to join the stupid movement, and the only qualification to become 367 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.599 a life member seems to be denouncing of life at birth. Self loathing for 368 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.759 one's ancestry is almost a prerequisite to be woke. Happiness and gratitude are instant 369 00:28:53.799 --> 00:29:00.119 disqualifiers from membership unless you're miserable, have no joy, and actually feel that 370 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:06.960 the entire world is a villain and everybody that came before you was somehow marginalized 371 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.559 because of the requisites of the moment and the motto is it boasts a desire 372 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:18.599 to reimagine human existence literally by vilifying history, nullifying experience. You know, 373 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.680 anybody I see who goes through this process almost seems to have misery as a 374 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:27.720 bent. There is no real education in the argument because it's all these straw 375 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.519 man arguments that they give the what if and the hypothetical, but the reality 376 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.119 doesn't adjust accordingly. There's an old adage just because you hold your breath, 377 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:45.039 the universe doesn't suffocate the concept of this belief. As you ration this rationality 378 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.640 that seems to be the going mood of the moment. I'm going to think, 379 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.680 I'm going to believe, I'm going to liberate my mindset from this archaic 380 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:57.240 process. But I'm not going to allow you to have the judgment for yourself 381 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:02.680 to evolve in your own thought. If you don't subscribe to what I subscribe 382 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:08.400 to, your a bigot more after the break, well, as we hit 383 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.039 the home stretch, you probably realized that, man, this guy went off 384 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.279 on a tear and a charge, and hope Todd still feels that what I 385 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:21.359 provide is value. Otherwise this may be the last time you hear my voice. 386 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.079 And hopefully you do, and hopefully they haven't just pull the plug on 387 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.920 it. Even before it aired. But we were talking about this rationing of 388 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.559 rationality, having some fun, but I was bringing you down to the nitty 389 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.480 gritty of beginning to ask ourselves to think for ourselves. Now, while I 390 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.759 brought that as a common sense, this is where we have to take a 391 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.720 turn. If you're going to stand against this stupidity. You need to arm 392 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.720 yourself with information. You know, my mentor, Missus Ziggler, always said, 393 00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:53.920 when will meets imagination, put your money on imagination. What he was 394 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:59.759 saying is that if you're going to sell emotion, you have to have more 395 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.440 than just the logic on your side. And conservatives historically have been very logical. 396 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.200 Let's look at the track. If there's more money that you have left 397 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:11.799 your supply, will you'll keep more of the money you make. If you 398 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:14.279 keep more of the money you make, you'll spend more of the money you 399 00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:15.599 make. If you spend more of the money you make, you'll buy more 400 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.920 things. If you buy more things, those things have to be manufactured, 401 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.839 so you're actually creating employment. And we go down that logical thread. The 402 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.279 other side just doesn't even go through all the threads of the argument. They 403 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.200 say, because you have so much money, someone else is starving, and 404 00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.599 just because you're eating two meals a day and fograa, you're probably a bigot 405 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.519 because someone else doesn't even have the opportunity to eat. So they don't even 406 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.960 go down the common sense argument of what you do and how you have earned 407 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.799 it, and the effort you put in and the dignity you have towards the 408 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.720 pride you have in the work you do. They just basically put you on 409 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.559 one side as a fat, bloated somebody, a capitalist, greedy pig, 410 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.640 and on the other side they show a starving person and then say, the 411 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.200 reason they are starving is because you're successful. That kind of guilt is much 412 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.400 easier to now put on the shoulders of the youth of our nation and the 413 00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.880 world. Everywhere I go around the world, I see this woke nonsense infiltrating 414 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.920 the very young. They really because of their friends and colleagues all subscribing to 415 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:25.319 this garbage. They walk around with this stooped shoulders and this huge burden on 416 00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:30.559 their back saying, you know what, my ancestors robbed someone else. So 417 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.920 as a result of it, the reason I live in an upper middle class 418 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:37.759 neighborhood and we're able to go to a high school is because they obliterated someone 419 00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:44.000 else or decimated someone else's life. They have no bearing in what happened. 420 00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:50.160 History works because history is history. You can go back and change it if 421 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.119 you whitewash it. All you do is you try to cover up the wounds. 422 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.880 But the scars are still there. So the one thing I want us 423 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:00.240 to realize is to at least wake up, look in the mirror and say, 424 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.440 I am not responsible for my heritage, but I am accountable for my 425 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.839 future. I can go back and apologize for what somebody did to somebody in 426 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.279 India in nineteen forty seven, that would be a dumb way to live. 427 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.559 By the same token, I'm not going to completely absolve myself of it. 428 00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.799 But again we go back to the wise Bard and said, you can let 429 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.240 your past beat you, or you can let it teach you. One of 430 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.519 the things this rationing of rationality does is it doesn't allow our past to teach 431 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:35.680 us. It only allows our past to beat us and beat up on us. 432 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.519 And this is something that is a travesty if you've ever seen one, 433 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:47.240 because the byproduct of this is an entire generation of people walking around like completely 434 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:58.079 morass automatons, unable to carry the burden of the guilt of ancestral living of 435 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.559 some kind of things that I think is happening. And we see, you 436 00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:08.519 know that the requisite is almost like this, I do this tongue in cheek, 437 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:14.039 how do you belong? Kind of things? So here's something I wrote 438 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.000 and play along with me. I said, you know, if I ever 439 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:20.320 went to the Department of Woke and they looked at me and said, in 440 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:22.039 order to get a card to be woke, I'm going to ask you three 441 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.920 questions. And the first question is, in order to get this rationality ration 442 00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.800 card, to be a member of the woke culture, to be a member 443 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.880 of the progressive to be a member of this group that somehow has figured out 444 00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.760 that they are the only ones who care about the planet, and they are 445 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:43.719 the only ones who understand how capitalism, communism, socialism, Marxism and everything 446 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.760 works without having read any one of those books. So the first question deals 447 00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.880 with my feelings. For example, I'm a first generation immigrant, and if 448 00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:52.760 they look at me and say, hey, what are your feelings on the 449 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.800 national sovereignty, more briefly, about whether we should have laws that enforce the 450 00:34:55.840 --> 00:35:00.320 country's boundaries. If my answer is in the affirm and I say yes, 451 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.400 I think the nation has to have boundaries, immediately, I'm a bigot because 452 00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.000 I got in and I don't want anybody else to get in. It doesn't 453 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.400 matter that I'm legal and I waited my turn. So let's assume that you 454 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.280 have to get best two out of three. So I failed the first question 455 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:20.760 on immigration. The second question I'm asked is whether once effort requires reward and 456 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.480 where the profit is a legitimate byproduct of excellence. I mean, this is 457 00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.800 third grade, right, This is going back to the basics of an A 458 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:30.800 is better than a B, and a B is better than a C. 459 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:32.400 And when you come home with an F, your father looks at you and 460 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.119 says, hey, you know what. My board of the education is about 461 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.079 to meet your seat of learning. If my answer again is yes, my 462 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:45.159 fate is sealed. This is no card for you. The reason is because 463 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:50.360 I struck out. I cannot believe. I cannot be a person who believes 464 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.519 in accountability. I cannot be a person who believes that examining my own ability 465 00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:01.039 and putting it up against someone else's ability and having a third party judge whether 466 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:07.679 my ability is better than someone else's ability and getting rewarded accordingly has any bearing. 467 00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:13.119 If I'm happy, I'm not allowed to participate, I can, you 468 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.559 know, And I almost sometimes am glad. I tell myself, you know 469 00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.920 today, because I don't subscribe to that, I can read Aristotle if I 470 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:24.119 want to, and I can read Mark Twain. If I want to, 471 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.880 I can read The Gallantry of Warriors and study Alexander the Great. And I 472 00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:34.400 can also go back and flip on my YouTube and understand the life of missionaries. 473 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.639 I can look at a dictionary and cherish for myself that fat is fat 474 00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.800 and short is short. I mean, one of the things I find funny 475 00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:45.079 is recently, in one children's book they remove the word fat and they've replaced 476 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.480 it with enormous. Apparently fat shaming is a bad thing, but calling something 477 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.960 enormous is a better way. I mean, that's like, you know, 478 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.760 we have reached stupidity because we have turned the corner of common sense and we've 479 00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.960 gotten so far off the rail. We've come back at stupidity from the other 480 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:01.960 side. If I walked up to someone and said, hey, looks like 481 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.039 you put on a little weight. Looks like you're getting a little fat there, 482 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:07.559 guy, he would look at me and say, hey, man, 483 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:10.000 I injured my knee. I'm not being able to work out. If I 484 00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:13.199 walked up to him and said, hey, I want to be poetical correct, 485 00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:16.320 but you're enormous, I think that's worse. So sometimes you know you're 486 00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:20.599 going to run out of words to explain this. And you know, I 487 00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.920 had fun doing this thing because I usually do, and I look at things 488 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.679 from the plus and the minus. But at the end of the day, 489 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:30.199 if I'm not involved into the woke culture and I'm not allowed, then you 490 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.880 know, I really even if I became someone and was given a woke card 491 00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:37.280 and they said you can't participate in this irrational world, I can go. 492 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.639 I don't have a private jet, and so Switzerland is out. I can't 493 00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:45.199 get there on my own and I won't be allowed to get into those thirty 494 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.880 two thousand dollars. A person in Gala that you know where I wear a 495 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.920 coat that says, you know, we need to tax the rich. I 496 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.320 guess I'm going to have to be content waving a flag, eating grilled meat 497 00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.880 and singing God Bliss America. So we'll come back and wrap up, all 498 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:07.320 right, welcome back for the last stretch. Maybe I'm going to leave you 499 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.519 with a chant. Is that what protesting is all about? We have a 500 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:16.679 chant, whether the chant on the streets talking about stuff. So maybe our 501 00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:21.079 chant needs to be if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. 502 00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.599 If you're not woke and you know it. Clap your hands. You 503 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:29.199 can hear me chuckling, tongue in cheek and getting a little sarcastic and evasive. 504 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.559 But man, I'm almost to the point where I'm tired of fighting this 505 00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.360 fight. I'm just tired of the fact that no longer can someone just have 506 00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:45.239 basic common sense. You have to go through this whole litany of understanding of 507 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.159 how bad this world is, and yet not one person has observed a page 508 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:55.880 of history. They all want to embrace communism, and they talk about socialism, 509 00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:02.920 but none of them have gone back and read Lenin's Manifesto or Stalin's evil 510 00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:08.280 that protracted a war for seventy five years and carved up much of Eastern Europe. 511 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:15.559 I don't even think the names of Chescu of Romania, Inverhaja of Albania, 512 00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:21.800 or Vaklab any of these things would make sense to these people. They 513 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:25.239 wouldn't even know what happened in Yugoslavia before it carved up. They won't know 514 00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:31.239 about the ethnicity and the ethnic slaughter. The irony of ironies is these people 515 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:37.360 want the horrors of that world that the last seventy five years, that hold 516 00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:43.800 equal distribution of misery and they don't know one person, one perpetrator, or 517 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:49.079 one iota. The next time we get together, hopefully we'll be able to 518 00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.199 do it live. I'm looking forward to that and maybe have a couple of 519 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:54.199 calls as well. But until next time, this is your humble host, 520 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:59.239 christ Dunham. Thank you Todd for the privilege. Good luck, God,
