Attention. You're listening to the Tod Huff Radio Show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Todd Hoff.
Greetings one and all, and welcome to the Todd Huff Show, the home
of Conservative not Bitter. As you probably guessed by the accent and the inflection,
this is not Todd. This is Chris Dunham, filling in again for
my dear friend Todd. Thank you so much again for giving me the grace
of sitting behind your microphone. For those of you who have heard me before,
I'm assuming that you kind of understand my style and my substance, or
maybe just my style because they may not be too much substance. But I'm
always grateful when Todd asked me to fill in for him as he takes that
well deserved break. In addition to talking about current events and all of the
things that normally go on in talk radio, I like to occasionally bring these
diatribes, which are so much more of a commentary on the current situation we
experience and we live in. I don't know if the other episode that I
did was played simultaneously or past this week. I'm not very familiar with the
radio method, but in one of the other things that I did in filling
in for Todd, I talked about the honest hypocrisy of our day. Today.
I want to talk about something which I see as very evident in the
world we live in, and I just called this mood rationing of rationality.
It seems that common sense is now almost in a supply and demand situation.
The demand for common sense seems to be at an all time high, but
the supply of common sense seems to be choked. In addition to the supply
chain issues that have curtailed or prevented the flow or free flow of goods and
services that have allowed prices to skyrocket across the fruited plain, we see a
rationale being thwarted as well. There is almost a shortage of common sense,
both in the media, in the movies, in arts and entertainment, in
theory, in literature, in governance, in leadership. It's almost everywhere we
turn, the opposite of what we think should actually work seems to be the
rule of the day. It's almost as if it makes no sense that people
will look at a calamity that takes place in our presence, And most recently
we have witnessed this when the derailment of that train took place that caused all
those toxic chemicals to spill into the atmosphere. Issues immediately came to the forefront
of whether a breaking mechanism would have allowed that to stop, whether more people
on it would have prevented the disaster. Regardless of it, it took twenty
days for people to kindly and favorably craft their opinion so that when they opened
their mouth, they would absolve themselves of any responsibility for it. And it
is fascinating that you look at a train that derails today and blame the policies
and procedures of a man who has not been in office for a number of
years now. But this whole concept is that rationing of rationality. All almost
believe, in this leadership vacuum that we live in, that blaming the past
for the present is just the easiest way to give yourself a past for the
erroneous way in which our policies and procedures seem to come forth. Every day
when I switch on, and I try my best not to, but if
I listen to things here and there, I get glimpses of stupidity. That
I mean, it's almost like a stampede of stupidity. It's almost like it's
galloping down and there's an entire herd of stupidity heading towards me. And if
I don't get out of the way, I'm going to run over. But
even if I try to get out of the way, I'm boundaried by stupidity
on the side. And then if I back into it, I back into
stupidity, and I'm just like cornered. I cannot give you a more apt
description of the helplessness sometimes you feel when you look at this assault on common
sense. There is not a sane person in this world that can wake up
any day with just a third education and look and say, if we spend
more that we don't have, somehow will be better. They cannot look at
the issues of the fact that inflation is on the rise and say we have
created more jobs, so the economy is doing better now than it ever was.
In what world are they dreaming? In? What world is their reality?
And then you begin to realize their reality is not our reality. The
people who get up there, I mean, think about it. A television
anchor that makes a million dollars a year to report the news cannot ever be
objective because they've already been bought to the tune of a million. Their idea
of objectivity goes out of the window because the craft which they work in cannot
be objective anymore. Otherwise the money wouldn't be there unless you toured the line.
And the reason I'm going down this path is again the only thing.
I don't do a lot of advertising when I come on other people's shows,
so they asked me to fill in track me if you want. The name
is Chrish Dunham. You can just follow that or just type an Indian motivational
speaker and you should find me. But off late I've started writing some of
these satirical things, almost in a sarcastic vein. It's in a it's called
sub stack, which is just a free place to post articles and you can
subscribe to that. It's a free subscription. But what I do is I
give you a chuckle. I make words dance a little bit and parse it
around a little bit. So you can enjoy it. My background is I'm
a first generation immigrant who came to America with nine dollars in my pocket in
nineteen eighty six. Many moons have passed through that, and we've had great
ups and downs in this journey we've called our American Dream. But now when
we look back thirty seven years later, the days of Reagan are long gone.
We are living in some very perilaus times. But the times are not
contradicting themselves because of the fact that we are living in them and cannot under
stand them. The times are almost dastardly in fact that they are diabolical in
the way they are being presented to us with a careful erosion. If they
repeat something often enough, and they state it regularly enough, sometime after a
while, it becomes their truth, and no longer do they have to flinch,
because in their heart it is not a lie anymore. Because it has
been said so many times, it's probably true. So this rationing of rationality
that we find ourselves in is quite troubling, and it's probably a good lens
to look at when you look at the other current affairs of the day.
So when you look at one party saying that, hey, we're going to
raise money to understand the voting process and how an election may or may not
have been stolen, and another party says, hey, you know what,
we're going to raise money for the same thing to counter that. The fact
that integrity in elections is always in question is now out of the window,
and we're always now debating how we can actually further our cause within that lack
of integrity. Isn't this laughable? Is this what the republic that they dreamed
of when they wrote, in fact, in the future, I'm going to
write an article and it probably is going to be called the Declaration of dependence.
It's no longer the Declaration of independence, or it's no longer the declaration
that was originally chartered when the rights belong to you and I the governed.
It's almost as of this self sanctimonious people who elevate themselves to positions of power
and have a cabinet position somehow feel that they are supreme beings. No,
they are not lording over us. They are just giving it responsibility within the
grand scheme of the workings of a nation. So right now, this rationing
of rationality is almost the byproduct of that is this whole woke culture, this
wok culture that doesn't stand for anything and simultaneously stands for everything. So the
very way in which the passivity is presented to us is, hey, we
need to all care for the environment, don't we? Who in their right
mind would object to such a nice, innocuous statement. Well, in order
to care for the environment, we need to protect the fact that in the
future, this beautiful air that we breathe and this nature that was given to
us should be there for our children, shouldn't it. Is there anybody who,
whether they agree with the climate alarmist or not, who's going to stand
up and say, no, I think we need to have smog in the
air so that my child has black gook coming out of his nostrils. No,
nobody in their rational mind would even say that or even think that.
But part of this thing is don't stand for anything, but simultaneously stands for
everything. So when they sell air, which is what they're selling, this
climate alarmist is saying that, hey, you know what, the oceans will
rise and will be underwater. Do you real want the people in Bangladesh who
are losing so much ground annually to the monsoon and the displacement, and the
people in Myanmar that are getting completely inundated by water in these makeshift shelters.
If we don't do something about the climate today, those people will be extinct.
Oh man. The horror of watching a national geographic channel and seeing these
people struggling for survival in another part of the world that you cannot even comprehend.
While the debate is being articulated by people who fly on a private jet
and gather in Switzerland to make the decision of how to protect the natives in
Bangladesh. Many of them have never been to Bangladesh. Many of them don't
even know that Bangladesh was formerly East Pakistan and India went to war with Pakistan
to liberate them. If you ask them the contact of it, it is
only about getting on the bandwagon of this alarmism. So that's what this woke
culture is, This rationing of rationality is actually I stand for everything, but
at the same time, if you just peel the onion, you'll very quickly
realize that I stand for nothing. It is a feeling and an enterprise that
corrects, coerces, and contradicts anything it chooses. And this is fascinating because
it does both things. The same people who tell you that the folks in
Bangladesh and the Deltas and the sunderbands of West Bengal that somehow meet the Bay
of Bengal as the rivers kind of empty out there as part of that fruited
plain. When the water comes back inside because of the monsoon rush, it'll
swallow up everything in its path, and those people will be completely displaced.
These are the same people who, at the end of the day, with
the millions of dollars they make and earn, buy properties in places like Martha's
Vineyard and on the coast of different places of Florida where there's not a bank
in this world that would give you a loan for thirty years if they believe
that in ten the property that they're financing is going to be under water.
Its hierarchy consists of the very rudi I tech academic, but at the same
time the unemployed anarchist. The only ones not allowed to belong to this department
or this thought process are people who can actually think for themselves. Hopefully you're
enjoying this little dialogue of rationing of rationality. More after we come back from
this next break. Thanks for listening so far. We'll see you after the
ads. Well, Welcome back to the Talk Half Show, the home of
Conservative Not Bitter. This is your guest host, Chris Dunham. Always grateful
for the privilege to express my opinions on a show that deals a lot with
the conservative issues of the day. Todd typically will bring you current affairs and
discuss them in that mellow and common sense approach that has become his style,
something that I have grown to enjoy in the friendship we have had over the
years. I am a first generation immigrant and befriended this family some years ago,
and as a result of the different encounters we have had, I've been
joyous and privileged to have been asked by him to come and do this from
time to time. I don't know how many times I filled in, but
I'm guessing it's nearing double digits now. It's been a joy to do this.
This is not my bent, this is not who I normally am.
I'm a social commentator. In terms of what I write. I am a
speaker and an author and an evangelist. I travel around the world and engage
with the academy. I'm a trained apologist in the Christian sense, I defend
the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the public arena, primarily the academy, the
educational academy, in media and in art. So a lot of what I
write, a lot of what I speak, is challenging the status quo of
what we see. Obviously, I'm a conservative. I vote down the conservative
ideology. I subscribe to the fact of less government and all of the other
things that are part of the conservative cause. But if you go back to
the Reaganesque model, I try to have the simplicity of trying to understand what
the other side believes. In addition to knowing what I believe, I do
a lot of research every day and a lot of self desirous effort to understand.
As an apologist, I have studied other worldviews. If I'm going to
defend the Christian faith and the Judeo Christian identity, I have to understand what
all the other people, the other seven billion, who do not subscribe to
this thought process belief. Because humanity, at the end of the day,
wants questions. The questions we are asking ourselves are where do I come from,
Where am I going? What am I doing here, and is there
a right and a wrong? So using that style, using that logic,
using that formula, using that approach, I try to bring social commentary by
dissecting it through the same methodology. In the previous segment, when we were
talking about rationing of rationality, we began to to introduce this concept of the
woke culture that seems to stand for everything and nothing at the same time it
somehow employs the very erudite, the very sophisticated, the very rich, the
very wealthy, at the same time it employs the unemployed anarchists. The person
who is completely clueless, doesn't offer anything to society and protest just because they're
a body that's allowed to protest. I'm sorry to be direct and harsh,
but at the end of the day, I understand if you want to protest
like in days past, at least understand what you're protesting. Many of these
people will stand and talk about the climate alarmism and about how the world is
going to be underwater, and someone will give them the talking points of Bangladesh
or the monsoons or some parts of Africa which are now underwater or whatever it
is. And geographically these people do not know why those societies are the way
they are anthropologically, They have no idea of why they evolved. They don't
understand why these cultures constantly build and rebuild in that makeshift way alongside the same
place. When the great tsunami hit on that faithful Christmas eve of a couple
of years ago, and we had that wave that kind of went and demolished
most of Indonesia. But on one side, it found its way as far
away as Gulli in Sri Lanka and parts of Chennai in India, and they
say some of those waves reached almost the South American coast. On the other
end, many people predicted and said, yeah, you know what, the
tsunami is probably the result of some kind of a climate catastrophe because we have
not taken care of the planet. It's easy to jump to that conclusion because
the earthquake took place somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But the
irony of ironies in which they present this thing is as they stand in protest.
None of them know where Sri Lanka is. None of them have visited
the country, none of them have gone through the ruins in Chennai. I
have when I went down to India after the tsunami. I walked to the
parts where these fishermen's villages were completely decimated. I went back there three years
later, and while there is a semblance of some foundations that have been appended,
people have rebuilt there. So the question is always the rationale behind this
is to ask ourselves why do they constantly go back there if that place is
constantly going to be decimated by any cyclone. The Pacific rim has a lot
of cyclones. Bangladesh gets a cyclone almost every year. The town I grew
up in India gets a cyclone every year. Does that mean you stop living
by the coast. No, that's where you make your living, if you're
a fisherman, or you're a tradesman of some coin and ancestrally and anthropologically,
that's how you made your living. That's where you're going to rebuild. But
now let's flip the equation. If we eliminate fluorocarbons and fossil fuels in America,
does that somehow in our lifetime are we going to see some kind of
an effect that would diminish the cyclone in Bangladesh? The odds are zero.
If you can be that kind of a predictor and that kind of a prognosticator.
But the shame of this is not the question of whether they are right
wrong, or whether there's a consensus in the scientific community. I don't even
want to debate to that extent, because maybe I'm not intellectual enough to participate
in that academic debate. But I have basic common sense, which seems to
be rational, and the common sense is asking myself, how come when you
began this cry, When you began the shout, you had a net worth
of about ten million dollars. Now suddenly, after winning an OSCARB for producing
a movie and getting a Nobel Prize for this crusade that you've been on,
you suddenly are worth five hundred million dollars. All the time, you've been
vilifying the capitalistic approach of those that are mercenaries of money, so to speak.
But you stand very proudly with this microphone after having flown on a private
jet back and forth to a neutral locality, Switzerland. What better place to
pick than to tell your world that you care for something, go to a
neutral country like Switzerland. I've been to Switzerland, and in addition to everything
else, it is breathtakingly beautiful. And when people ask me what it's like,
I said, it's like one none ending recall a commercial. You will
never see anything as pristine and beautiful. You will never see streets so clean
as people have such great pride in their proximity. But these people stand up
and then I look at them and I say, wait a minute. When
you began this, you only had ten million dollars. Now you have four
hundred million dollars. Wouldn't it have been easier to try to go to Bangladesh
and tell the people in that one village that, hey, I've got so
much money that if I just bought another piece of land, a little bit
interior away from this marsh land and give you a permanent settlement, I can
probably do it for half of what I have. And that's probably not a
stretch. You can probably adopt an entire village and remove them. No,
the question is not about the amount of money they have. They want me
to sacrifice my comforts, me to put my temperature in my thermostatic seventy four
degrees, and they want to curtail my behavior while they jet set around not
worried. And the argument is always, well, you know, to get
from point A to point B. It's a moot point that they have to
fly private jet. No, it's not a moot point. You can do
it on zoom din COVID teach us that you can do it virtually. If
these guys are so great at what they are and they really care for the
planet. The way they say the rationale is ridiculous. You can just stay
in your home with your big screen and have a Bluetooth setup and a camera
that would focus on you and you don't have to go anyway. Your footprint
would be zero. But that doesn't make sense. You know, how do
you get a photo op? How do you get to stand to someone else
on another part of the planet who is equally popular in their own world with
the same rally crime. I've traveled to parts of Eastern Europe and all that
where people are not even worried about these so called high falute in Western problems.
These people are trying to look for sustenance. They've been decimated for so
long by ethnic strife and internal struggles that some of the things that we actually
every day come up with in this woke culture of ours does not even make
the radar of observation in some other parts of the world. As you can
see, I'm charged up to do this and I'm getting a little more excited.
And before I get a little ahead of myself, let me make sure
I'm consciousant of the fact that when we come back on the other end of
this commercial break, we can start actually looking at some of the solutions we
can bring to ourselves. You know, this charter aome of rationality and the
obliteration of decency is something that needs to be challenged and confronted. We'll see
you on the other side of the break. Well, welcome back. This
is your guest host, Chris Dunham, having fun, as the Great Maharishi
used to say, great, having more fun than the law allows. I
guess, and I think the early days you say, with one arm tie
with one hand tied behind my back. I just loved his turn of a
phrase. Just to irritate the people who would get irritated and offended by everything.
Well, we're talking about this thing called the rationing of rationality. We
talked about the woke culture and how they stand for something and nothing at the
same time. Then we progressed a little bit to talk about this whole issue
of how this woke culture will casually supply something in and make it sound so
cool like this climate issue. I call it alarmism, because at the end
of the day, you know you're going to try to do the best you
can to be a decent human being. None of us is going around wanting
to pollute the planet. But there's something called existence that we have to live
in. I'll be grand I'll be honest with you. Even if I could
afford a tesla, I wouldn't buy it because I don't think it's being a
good steward of the resources. We have to spend sixty grand on something and
then eventually now depend on a grid that is already strained and struggling. If
everybody decides to go down this electric path, where are we going to get
the electricity which is already part of rolling blackouts, which is already blamed on
the climate. Because of the fact that we have this climate issue that we
are dealing with, the summers are extremely hot, the winters are extremely cold.
It used to be global warming. Now it's called climate change because apparently
it's three hundred and sixty five days a year and it's twenty four to seven.
I'm not a climatologist, I'm not a meteorologist. I'm not a scientist.
I don't have any skin in the game. I don't even understand a
lot of it. But let's assume, using a common sense approach, which
is what we're talking about, the rationing of rationality that the entire country now,
as they're forcing in the state of California, by the year twenty thirty,
every car has to be an electric car. Here's a state that does
not allow any more drilling because they say the water has to be natural or
runoff fossil fuels and all of that other stuff they've been on a war against
from the beginning. There's no mining that's allowed in other parts of the world.
So the cobalt and all that's needed to produce those batteries, I don't
know where it's going to come from. Just assume the fact that right now,
the baseline of an electric car costs you between forty and sixty thousand dollars
if you want a name brand, and then everybody now starts buying it.
The conventional logic is, if you use the capitalistic mindset, the greater the
demand, the lower the price. Right because things, that's how free markets
work. But where are they going to get the stuff to start making these
things that are going to allow you to be self sufficient? So if you
follow the thread carefully, you will realize that the amount of production that is
going to be required to create the batteries to eventually sustain an entire state level
on a nation or a world that is going to be completely off the elect
completely electric and off fossil fuels, you're going to have six times the amount
of raw materials that is going to be required. And right now there is
a burden on what we are able to produce, and that's why the price
is so high. They cannot dig this stuff out of the ground so far.
Now let's assume they can. Where are the places you're going to go?
Obviously they're saying that the deepest reserves of this are in parts of Africa
and parts of India where the components and the minerals required for this electric battery
and this electric world and this technological revolution that you're going to have. What
in those parts of the world, the co firepower plants are being commissioned a
date of one a week or so because they're trying to keep up with the
demand of the world, because the demand of the world is what sustains their
economies. So you say we're going to eliminate fossil fugels in one part of
the world and make it completely electric. Well, in order to sure that
and your supply chain is perfect, you're going to ensure that the amount of
pollution in another part of the planet is extremely three or five ten times higher
just to get the stuff out of the ground. Along with that will come
the child labor and all of the other things that you began this fight against.
So there are solutions out there, but they have to be common sense
solutions, and you cannot just completely come off the hinge and say that you
know, we're going to spend ten million dollars to make the whole world green.
That sounds good, Where are you going to get the money from.
So far, you haven't even been able to come out of a pandemic where
asked nobody even participated. They were asked to stay home, And just the
cost of replenishing that made you print and supply two trillion dollar budgets just to
take care of people who were not doing anything. Add to that, the
agitation of a global populace of eight billion people, and you're trying to choke
supply lines of how things are produced. Even if you go to the grocery
store today and you see all of the things that are done in the name
of radical niceties, let's eliminate the problem of weight and obesity, which is
good. I struggle with weight, and I wish something. Someday, someone
would just create a pill that I swallow and I go back to my weight
that I was in college. I struggle with weight all of my life.
I openly admit this. I've talked about this, and I try my best.
But if I go to the store and look at all the things that
are good for me, guess what they cost five times as much as all
the things that I can afford. The things I can afford suppose bad for
me. But the things that I need to allow myself to live a clean
living cost an arm and a leg. They say, don't you know,
try to take care of the environment. Don't eat the regular eggs, take
this cage free, farm fresh whatever at all. And you know, imagine,
you know, you're asking yourself to pay seven dollars for a dozen eggs,
and that's just baseline, that's breakfast, and that's one item. How
then shall we live? Said Francis Schaeffer. I didn't mean to get off
on a downer, but I'm asking ourselves to wake up from this stupidity and
look at it and ask ourselves. Are the elite rationing rationality? There is
no age group to join the stupid movement, and the only qualification to become
a life member seems to be denouncing of life at birth. Self loathing for
one's ancestry is almost a prerequisite to be woke. Happiness and gratitude are instant
disqualifiers from membership unless you're miserable, have no joy, and actually feel that
the entire world is a villain and everybody that came before you was somehow marginalized
because of the requisites of the moment and the motto is it boasts a desire
to reimagine human existence literally by vilifying history, nullifying experience. You know,
anybody I see who goes through this process almost seems to have misery as a
bent. There is no real education in the argument because it's all these straw
man arguments that they give the what if and the hypothetical, but the reality
doesn't adjust accordingly. There's an old adage just because you hold your breath,
the universe doesn't suffocate the concept of this belief. As you ration this rationality
that seems to be the going mood of the moment. I'm going to think,
I'm going to believe, I'm going to liberate my mindset from this archaic
process. But I'm not going to allow you to have the judgment for yourself
to evolve in your own thought. If you don't subscribe to what I subscribe
to, your a bigot more after the break, well, as we hit
the home stretch, you probably realized that, man, this guy went off
on a tear and a charge, and hope Todd still feels that what I
provide is value. Otherwise this may be the last time you hear my voice.
And hopefully you do, and hopefully they haven't just pull the plug on
it. Even before it aired. But we were talking about this rationing of
rationality, having some fun, but I was bringing you down to the nitty
gritty of beginning to ask ourselves to think for ourselves. Now, while I
brought that as a common sense, this is where we have to take a
turn. If you're going to stand against this stupidity. You need to arm
yourself with information. You know, my mentor, Missus Ziggler, always said,
when will meets imagination, put your money on imagination. What he was
saying is that if you're going to sell emotion, you have to have more
than just the logic on your side. And conservatives historically have been very logical.
Let's look at the track. If there's more money that you have left
your supply, will you'll keep more of the money you make. If you
keep more of the money you make, you'll spend more of the money you
make. If you spend more of the money you make, you'll buy more
things. If you buy more things, those things have to be manufactured,
so you're actually creating employment. And we go down that logical thread. The
other side just doesn't even go through all the threads of the argument. They
say, because you have so much money, someone else is starving, and
just because you're eating two meals a day and fograa, you're probably a bigot
because someone else doesn't even have the opportunity to eat. So they don't even
go down the common sense argument of what you do and how you have earned
it, and the effort you put in and the dignity you have towards the
pride you have in the work you do. They just basically put you on
one side as a fat, bloated somebody, a capitalist, greedy pig,
and on the other side they show a starving person and then say, the
reason they are starving is because you're successful. That kind of guilt is much
easier to now put on the shoulders of the youth of our nation and the
world. Everywhere I go around the world, I see this woke nonsense infiltrating
the very young. They really because of their friends and colleagues all subscribing to
this garbage. They walk around with this stooped shoulders and this huge burden on
their back saying, you know what, my ancestors robbed someone else. So
as a result of it, the reason I live in an upper middle class
neighborhood and we're able to go to a high school is because they obliterated someone
else or decimated someone else's life. They have no bearing in what happened.
History works because history is history. You can go back and change it if
you whitewash it. All you do is you try to cover up the wounds.
But the scars are still there. So the one thing I want us
to realize is to at least wake up, look in the mirror and say,
I am not responsible for my heritage, but I am accountable for my
future. I can go back and apologize for what somebody did to somebody in
India in nineteen forty seven, that would be a dumb way to live.
By the same token, I'm not going to completely absolve myself of it.
But again we go back to the wise Bard and said, you can let
your past beat you, or you can let it teach you. One of
the things this rationing of rationality does is it doesn't allow our past to teach
us. It only allows our past to beat us and beat up on us.
And this is something that is a travesty if you've ever seen one,
because the byproduct of this is an entire generation of people walking around like completely
morass automatons, unable to carry the burden of the guilt of ancestral living of
some kind of things that I think is happening. And we see, you
know that the requisite is almost like this, I do this tongue in cheek,
how do you belong? Kind of things? So here's something I wrote
and play along with me. I said, you know, if I ever
went to the Department of Woke and they looked at me and said, in
order to get a card to be woke, I'm going to ask you three
questions. And the first question is, in order to get this rationality ration
card, to be a member of the woke culture, to be a member
of the progressive to be a member of this group that somehow has figured out
that they are the only ones who care about the planet, and they are
the only ones who understand how capitalism, communism, socialism, Marxism and everything
works without having read any one of those books. So the first question deals
with my feelings. For example, I'm a first generation immigrant, and if
they look at me and say, hey, what are your feelings on the
national sovereignty, more briefly, about whether we should have laws that enforce the
country's boundaries. If my answer is in the affirm and I say yes,
I think the nation has to have boundaries, immediately, I'm a bigot because
I got in and I don't want anybody else to get in. It doesn't
matter that I'm legal and I waited my turn. So let's assume that you
have to get best two out of three. So I failed the first question
on immigration. The second question I'm asked is whether once effort requires reward and
where the profit is a legitimate byproduct of excellence. I mean, this is
third grade, right, This is going back to the basics of an A
is better than a B, and a B is better than a C.
And when you come home with an F, your father looks at you and
says, hey, you know what. My board of the education is about
to meet your seat of learning. If my answer again is yes, my
fate is sealed. This is no card for you. The reason is because
I struck out. I cannot believe. I cannot be a person who believes
in accountability. I cannot be a person who believes that examining my own ability
and putting it up against someone else's ability and having a third party judge whether
my ability is better than someone else's ability and getting rewarded accordingly has any bearing.
If I'm happy, I'm not allowed to participate, I can, you
know, And I almost sometimes am glad. I tell myself, you know
today, because I don't subscribe to that, I can read Aristotle if I
want to, and I can read Mark Twain. If I want to,
I can read The Gallantry of Warriors and study Alexander the Great. And I
can also go back and flip on my YouTube and understand the life of missionaries.
I can look at a dictionary and cherish for myself that fat is fat
and short is short. I mean, one of the things I find funny
is recently, in one children's book they remove the word fat and they've replaced
it with enormous. Apparently fat shaming is a bad thing, but calling something
enormous is a better way. I mean, that's like, you know,
we have reached stupidity because we have turned the corner of common sense and we've
gotten so far off the rail. We've come back at stupidity from the other
side. If I walked up to someone and said, hey, looks like
you put on a little weight. Looks like you're getting a little fat there,
guy, he would look at me and say, hey, man,
I injured my knee. I'm not being able to work out. If I
walked up to him and said, hey, I want to be poetical correct,
but you're enormous, I think that's worse. So sometimes you know you're
going to run out of words to explain this. And you know, I
had fun doing this thing because I usually do, and I look at things
from the plus and the minus. But at the end of the day,
if I'm not involved into the woke culture and I'm not allowed, then you
know, I really even if I became someone and was given a woke card
and they said you can't participate in this irrational world, I can go.
I don't have a private jet, and so Switzerland is out. I can't
get there on my own and I won't be allowed to get into those thirty
two thousand dollars. A person in Gala that you know where I wear a
coat that says, you know, we need to tax the rich. I
guess I'm going to have to be content waving a flag, eating grilled meat
and singing God Bliss America. So we'll come back and wrap up, all
right, welcome back for the last stretch. Maybe I'm going to leave you
with a chant. Is that what protesting is all about? We have a
chant, whether the chant on the streets talking about stuff. So maybe our
chant needs to be if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're not woke and you know it. Clap your hands. You
can hear me chuckling, tongue in cheek and getting a little sarcastic and evasive.
But man, I'm almost to the point where I'm tired of fighting this
fight. I'm just tired of the fact that no longer can someone just have
basic common sense. You have to go through this whole litany of understanding of
how bad this world is, and yet not one person has observed a page
of history. They all want to embrace communism, and they talk about socialism,
but none of them have gone back and read Lenin's Manifesto or Stalin's evil
that protracted a war for seventy five years and carved up much of Eastern Europe.
I don't even think the names of Chescu of Romania, Inverhaja of Albania,
or Vaklab any of these things would make sense to these people. They
wouldn't even know what happened in Yugoslavia before it carved up. They won't know
about the ethnicity and the ethnic slaughter. The irony of ironies is these people
want the horrors of that world that the last seventy five years, that hold
equal distribution of misery and they don't know one person, one perpetrator, or
one iota. The next time we get together, hopefully we'll be able to
do it live. I'm looking forward to that and maybe have a couple of
calls as well. But until next time, this is your humble host,
christ Dunham. Thank you Todd for the privilege. Good luck, God,
