Check responssees set upp required compatibility and availability varies eighteen plus With midterm primaries in the news, the left wing media has been focusing a lot of its attention on Republican candidates for instance, The New York Times, a former newspaper, recently ran an article with the headline, Bad Trump ruins everythingverything in which columnist Nicholas Christof speculated that the primary defeat of anti Israel congressman Thomas Massey may have been due to an attack by Israeli rape dogs, imaginary animals whom Christoph claims have been trained to sexually assault anti Semites Christop's artle was about to go on to examine the power of Trump's endorsements when he suddenly emitted a high pitched scream, after which the article fell ominously silent In another Times article, this one headlined bad everything ruined, the authors speculated that Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton for Senate may turn deep red Texas into a blue state if Republicans are unable to vote because they're too busy laughing at this article Times article headlined Tr Tump Tump Bad, bad, bad, ruin, ruin, ruin merely contained those words repeated at random for several pages Now, of course, it's always important to hear what the left wing media is saying. In the same sense, it's always important to hit yourself in the groin with a hammer But for a change of pace, we here at the Daily Wire have decided to take a closer look at candidates on the Democrat side. because we've just come from watching the monkeys at the zoo, throwing dung at random passersby and we want the fun to continue In Texas, the Democrat Senate candidate is James Talorico Christian theologian who argues that the role of the Virgin Mary in giving birth to Jesus proves that God is in favor of crushing the heads of unborn children than tearing their bodies apart limb from limb. spokeswoman for the Queen of Heaven says that the Virgin Mary will not be responding to Talorico's comments because she can't use the words that would properly convey her opinions Because she's the Virgin Mary Socialist Cgresswoman, Alexandria Ecasio Cortez not only won her primary, but is jocking to position herself as a twenty twenty eight presidential candidate AOC, who studied economics at Sister Iignor Ramus' School for Wayward Girls, explains her socialist economic theory this way, quote. There's this big pile of money that comes from somewhere. Then, just as we're about to share it out equally, Elon Musk suddenly rushes in and steals so much of it there's not even enough left for me to pay off my psychiatrist with taxpayer dollars This is why I've said repeatedly that Elon Musk is stupid. Because if I could see a psychiatrist, I wouldn't be talking like this Unquote Unfortunately, Elon Musk was unable to respond to being called stupid because he'd just flown to Mars in his new electric space car, but had not yet installed the final communications satellite link that would allow him to call Earth from the offices of the new terraforming company he's built on the Red planet. AOC reacted to this by saying, quote, Now you see what I mean If Elon Musk is so smart, how come his crappy Mars phone doesn't work? Unquote. Another possible Democrat presidential candidate is California Governor Gavin Newsom who lists his achievements as causing the weather to be consistently good in Santa Barbara Looking very concerned as Los Angeles burned to the ground and receiving a hundred billion dollars for Medicare and a high speed train, both of which he plans to provide as soon as he finds out what happened to the one hundred billion dollars Newsom says he also proved himself a great leader during the Chinese flu pandemic because he never let himself despair like some of those idiots who stayed home all the time wearing useless masks In Maine, Democrats are running Graham Platner for Senate Platner sports a totum cough or death's head tattoo favored by Nazi SS officers Bud in his memoir entitled Main Comf Platner explains that the tattoo does not mean he sympathizes with Nazis but simply refers to his wish to slaughter every Jew on Eth and then take over Europe Platner does admit that if his plans are carried out, he's sort of going to miss those hot rape dogs. Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Clavven, and this is the Andrew Claven Show All right, we are back laughing our way through the fall of the Republic.

And he says how strange Biden's editor was called Auto Penzler and he took on a lot more workload than just editing. That is true. I still have to write my books with Auto, which is a shame.

Chapter one Kn what you want I'm about to break one of my life rules, It's almost a religious rule with me. about to give you some advice. I almost never do this. It's some of the best advice I can promise you you will ever get in your life. And if you listen to it, your life will be happier and more interesting. And I canm guarantee you that ninety nine percent of you won't listen and won't be happier, which is why I never give people advice. I learned this many years ago. I think I've told this story before, although it's happened to me more than once It actually happened to me a couple of times. but I had a friend who was a lady and she one day disappeared and she went on a tear. She went drinking and taking drugs and sleeping around and all this stuff. And I had no idea where she was. and after a while she called me and she was in real trouble and asked me to come and get her And so I did. I went and got her and she was with a not very nice guy, and I sort of faced him down. it was nothing terrible happened, but I faced him down and I walked her safely out and put her in the car. And I turned to her and I said, why didn't you call me before you went on this tar? And she said, because You would have told me not to do it And I learned a lot from that. Like I said, it's happened to me more than once, and it's happened to me a lot in other ways when I've given people advice that they didn't ask for. and even sometimes when I've given them advice that they did ask for, I actually give excellent excellent advice, especially when people are in trouble. This is the way most people live. they do not want to know what that they're doing is wrong or that they shouldn't do what they're doing. they already know that deep down, but they want to do what they want because they don't really know or understand what it is they really want And my advice that you will ignore is not to do what you want but to know what you want. and that's a very different thing. and it's a very difficult thing to do Because a lot of things get in the way. First of all, you have to distinguish your actual desires from your daydreams Your true desires, your ambitions are salients of your soul. A salient is an out sticking thing, you know, something that sticks out of you into the world because it's who you are. It's the part that projects out of who God made you to be. And you will have ambitions that are fitting with that. They may not be, you know, world shaking ambition, and God doesn't care whether you shake the world or not. The world is going to be exactly the way it was No matter what and he doesn't care whether you're famous, he doesn't care whether you're rich, but he does care that you become the image of him that he put inside you. So you have to be able to distinguish those salients from other things that feel like desires, like, for instance, daydreams You know, when I was a kid, I daydreamed about playing major leeague baseball. I wanted to be a baseball player, but I didn't really have the skill for that. I knew that deep down. So I never desired enough to work at it or try out for anything. You know, just it just was a day dream. That's you got to be able to those aside, your true desires are going to be realistic. They're going to have to do with who you actually are because they were implanted there by God. So know your daydreams can lead you astray if you get caught up in thinking that you're something you're not. if you' an athlete, an artist, you know, somebody who wants to sail the ocean blue, you may want to daydream about those things, but you've got to separate that from your true desires Another thing you have to do is you have to distinguish your desires from what people tell you your desires should be. This is especially true in a society that's ailing like our society, our society is psychologically unwell. And so people ruin their lives. Women ruin their lives because society tells them, for instance, that being a mom and making a home is of secondary importance to the world and to them. It should be secondary to them And for about eighty per to ninety percent of women, I would guess, it's actually what they want in some form more than anything else. And I think that they would be happier doing that. And if they got the respect that they deserve. I think homemakers are probably the most important people in the country. And if they were honored the way they should be, and if certainly if their husbands honored them and understood they were doing the spiritual act that they were performing in their lives that would be recompense enough because most of the other things that the world has to give you are not that great and most people are not going to get those things anyway. and they don't last but love and a family and a home. and the kind of devotion that people show their mothers and their wives when they have the sense to do it are really a big deal. And before they realize that what the world is telling them is not their real desire. What the world is telling them should be their desire is not their desire. They've buried themselves in a life that repels men. And feminism tells you what you should do then is scold the men for being repelled. That's going to get you nowhere. It doesn't matter whether you scold them or not or whether you sit around on going, Men are just afraid of me because I have a big job That's the way that'll be Men waste a lot of time in a different way because they're very competitive and their competitive nature causes them to define their desires by looking at other people's successes. So if the guy next to them has something, they think they want that. or if he has better grades or high paying job, they think that they want that. when in fact, they might not. if they isolated themselves, if they protected themselves from those envious and competitive feelings and said, you know, what is it I want to be? I maintain Nobody can compete with you at being yourself. No one can compete with you doing it. you know,'ve never I've always had people come to me and say, this guy stole a plot from you. It's happened from time to time. I always think, he's not going to do what I can do. doesn't matter. And there's always room on the top shelf for somebody who's being what he is meant to be. Seriously, whether it is just a guy who loves his family and takes care of his people or a guy who wants to be president of the United States doesn't matter. God truly, God does not care. You know, He wants you to be what He made you to be, not what you want to tell God that you should be. So got know, you got Make sure you're referring to your own desires. you know, and then I mean, I can think I think about this about this thing with guys because my dad was a very successful New York radio DJ, very top of the, you know, top of the market in the top market in the country. And he ate himself up his whole life because he wasn't successful like guys like Jerry Lewis or Danny Kay. But those guys you know, first of all, they they were, you know thin and charming and he was a kind of fat, you know surly New Yorker guy who was really only settled, you know, targeted to that New York market But also they took their lives and they just threw it into that world so that they were constantly in trouble, constantly taking things they shouldn't be taking sleeping with people. They shouldn't be sleeping. And he didn't want that. You know, my dad wanted, you know a happy marriage and a suburban home with kids and a successful life. He had everything that he wanted, but he made himself miserable because he didn't have what other men and what he thought he was supposed to want And finally, and this is the really big one and the really difficult one to know what you want, you have to ferret out those desires inside you that are actually harmful to you. Those are that are not the salient of your soul, that are either just the lusts of the flesh, the things that your body wants or They are scars that are left on your soul by trauma, you know, things that you were you know, you want revenge on the guys who beat you up or you know, you were always rejected by girls and now you want a lot of girls to make up you know that kind of stuff. I mean, if you've ever met a girl who keeps hooking up with alcoholics, I know women who walk into a room the minute they see the alcoholic rightight there. they go right to him probably because their dad was an alcoholic. I knew a guy. I used to I used to go on double dates with a guy who always brought a girl with him who always looked exactly the same, but it was always a different girl. Every time I see him, it was a different girl looked exactly, I mean, almost indistinguishable from the last girl. And by the end of the evening, she was always in hysterics. She was always curled up on the floor crying, screaming. and he would say, whyy is this happening to me? And I thought, It's not happening to you. It's what you want. You just don't know that it's what you want done the self analysis that it requires to get rid of that thing. You really can get rid of those traumatic desires by recognizing them by saying, oh, you know, here's a guy with alcohol on his breath. I recognize this. Yes, I'm attracted to him, but I'm going to go someplace else because I realize I'm just looking for my father who was a drunk and made my life miserable. You can walk away and train yourself to walk away or you can get some therapy and discover you the underlying influences and all When you learn to know what you really want, not what you want to want, not what people tell you you want, not bad habits of desire, But what God made you to want, you have an extremely good chance of getting have a you know, people, people who think that success is luck You know,'re going if you're a successful person, you will have failed numerous times. Every successful person has failed numerous times. But it's just like poker. If you play poker long enough and enough, everybody gets the same luck. The guy who knows how to play is the guy who wins and the person who works hard is the guy who wins. So if you know what you want and you don't get hit by a truck and you don't get a terrible disease and all the tragic things that can happen You're probably going to get what you want. So why am I breaking my advice rule? I'd give you personal advice, which you're going to ignore anyway, to tell you this on a show of political and cultural commentary. And the reason is is because the American conservatives mind is in conflict with itself and doesn't really know what it wants and can't distinguish what it wants from all these other things. And this is the moment when we conservatives Let's just call us friends of the founding, people who believe in America, we have to know what we want so we can get what we want. I've talked about this a million times. We're in a major transition. The baby boomers are dying, AI is coming, space travel is coming. all kinds of stuff is coming. There's going to be dangers. There's going to be turmoil, there's going to be wins and losses, failures and successes, but if conservatives know they want, they can get what they want over time. Here is the problem that conservatives have American conserners O American concerns A wonderful lyric by Gilbert Soullivan. If you don't know who Gilbert Sullivan find out there were what these wonderful, hilarious British ooretas in the nineteenth century just absolutely great and they're really hilarious. The pirates of Penzance, you may have heard of, just great stuff. and they've made movies of them, they're terrific They wrote an opera an opereretta, there're called called Aa Lantha And there's a famous song in Iantha that goes like this I This is a guard outside Buckingham Palace who s saying it. He says, I often think it's comical Follow la How nature always does contrive follow law Every boy and every girl that's born into the world alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative. Fall up. In other words, your politics is partially genetic, It's partially a natural part of your character the conservative part personality tends to be anxious about change, protective of the good things That's why you're conservative' trying to conserve good things. and worried that if you pull the string on the suit, the whole suit will unravel. He sees the world as a single design, each thing a sort of jenga block that holds up all the others. And whichever one you pull out, he's afraid, it's going to lead to disaster. And obviously, you know there's a lot of ruin in a nation. That's not always true. but conservatives are prone to panic and they're prone to grimness you know, Oh it's over. insside this is o, no, it's now. that's it. It's oh my God, they did this. so I'm sure if you know conservatives that you know that' what they're like. They just think everything is the Jenga toer that's going to bring the tower down. and you know I say I'm not totally making fun of that. I think it can be overdone, but there's a lot of wisdom in that. You know, you don't take down the fence until you know why they put it up in the first place. And so there's a lot of wisdom in that and it's natural's part of the conservative personality Your personality works really well if you're an eighteenth century European trying to protect your traditions and your class structures from the revolutionary times. You know, If you're trying to not let the French Revolution come to England, that kind of conservative outlook is really, really a good one. But American conservatives have a problem, a conflict They tend to have the same change resistant nature. They tend to think that class should remain the same, tradions should remain the same, all these things. But America wasn't built on those principles. America is built on a revolution from those principles, the revolution that worked as opposed to the French Revolution. This is the revolution that worked and set people free, set the individual free So a revolution is by definition Itsinet. It brings change. It wants to set more people free, It wants to make people more equal in their rights. It wants to give them more rights. Those are the things that are happening in America all the time. America is always in motion, it's always ahead of the pack. and conservatives find themselves wanting to preserve things, but part of what they want to preserve is the revolutionary structure always wants to change things and that's very confusing. And we get confused because we say to the left, we say, don't change what made us great. And the left says, well, part of what made us great is our ability to change and move forward and move toward our ideals a more perfect union. And they use that argument to destroy the very freedoms that we arere trying to preserve because the left is not in favor of freedom, the left is in favor of the authoritarian power to make all things right and beautiful and perfect and equal in the world, which is never going to happen. so they always cause terror and heartbreak You know They'll say to you This is a country of immigrants. You hear this all the time. So by our own principles, we have to let people break the law without ever paying for it by being deported. It's ridiculous, but what happens is because conservatives are torn between their natural desire to keep things as they are and their commitment to the revolutionary founding, which is what we are trying to conserve that always wants to change things and bring new things and create new things You'll see this phenomenon. I'm not the first person obviously to point this out. The left says, for instance, oh, men can now become women. There's no such thing as women or men. They just it's whatever you want to be. And if you don't think so, you're transphobic which is you know it's a sentence that's not only not English, it's not Eth speak. It has no meaning But so we fight them off at first. We say you're talking total crap. This is ridiculous. But then we have this thing that comes up that when Bruce Jenner calls himself Caitlyin Jenner because we believe in freedom and we believe that people should live their individual lives. and the left attacks Bruce Jenner, now Caitlin Jenner, because he's conservative, we say, o, who's the transphobic one now? And we're duped into essentially adopting the left' Pone only claims that men can become women. I mean, that we see this again and again. Oh, who's racist now? Oh who's you Islamophobic now. And yet we're losing that battle all the time because we're now incorporating their view of the culture into us. And that' into our view. and that's why the left often wins cultural battles But on the other side of that, on the right wing side of that Let's take for instance, a Catholic integralist. who says, Ohh, the Enlightenment's a failure. liberalism is a failure. You know, the Patrick Deine thing. We've got to get back to having more authority at the top, throne an altar, you know, a pope and a king. That's what we got to do. And something in our nature says to us, yeah, you know, that's what we need a king and a throne and you bring back religion that can really have some teeth in it And then weop and say, well, wait a minute but that's not American I love I love the Catholics, you know, many, many great Catholics. I mean, all of the great judges on the justices on the Supreme Court, almost all I think all Catholics. No, no. I don't want to be ruled by a pope. I don't want to be ruled by a king. I'm an American. want to Powers to be ruled by me. I want power to come from the ground up. and if you want to choose that religion, that's great. But if you want to choose to get out of that religion, I don't want you being put on the rack. I don't want your head cut off. I don't want anything. I want you to just go and go your way. You may be wrong, you may be right. That's not up to me to decide. It's up to God to judge you. I'm an American. you should be free And those are the two ways we get caught up in this conflict in our own minds. So what I want to make the argument about today is that I want to talk about preserve A revolution that is born of a certain tradition. whichich traditions we have to keep in order to let the Revolution thrive There is something about this time of year where life feels a little more vivid. You're making memories, slowing down a little, spending more time with the people you care about. It's summer. It makes you think about protecting all of the things that you love I think a lot of people feel that way. You hit a certain point where providing for your family isn't just about today, it's also about making sure there's safety out there for the future. Life insurance is one of those things people know they should handle, but nobody wants to figure it out. It feels confusing, complicated.

How do you spell it Come on, it's KLA VAN Chapter two D't drink the pooison It's a long time ago now, it must be about twenty years ago I was promoting My vice Bishop It's a trilogy really good, by the way. I was just looking at them. They're really terrific. So I was promoting them and they take place in San Francisco. So I went to San Francisco to do a TV hit to promote the books. And I got in a cab and it was gay Pride Day. And I don't know if you've ever been to San Francisco, but gay Pride Day is a big, big deal. Okaykay. So we're got in traffic, young men driving the cab that I'm in And we're caught in this massive traffic jam because the gay Pride day, it's like,, fifty percent of the population in San Francisco is out for this thing And I'm sure some of you will experience this, the way conservatives kind of give you a secret handshake to see if you're one of them and they can say things that they might be shouted at by small minded leftists. And that's what this kid did. He was driving the cab and he said something like You know, I think it's kind of sad that all people have that all these people have to be proud of is their sexuality I said, yes, it is. I said, it's ridiculous. And it's you know, I don't know if anybody is actually proud of being gay. And I think it's very silly and kind of sad And then I said But I remember when I was a boy A police officer, undercover, could walk into a gay bar Wait for somebody to flirt with him and then arrest him Piver said, for what Because I thought yeah, you don't like the gay people, you don't like the crowding the street. is it can get very ugly. The costumes and the nakedness and all this stuff and can get very ugly. If you know if that's not what you want to be happen to want to be seen But he didn't No What they were reacting to and overreacting to, in my opinion, was a time when they were outlawed just for being themselves, because he's an American. He's not in the business of knocking on people's door to find out who they're sleeping with. He doesn't care. He just wants to be left alone, and he thinks other people have the right to be left alone. That's only that's really the right that you have. Your right is to be left alone to not to be told what to say, to not be told how you should live your life. That's your main right in America You know, Claven's law once the gay people have the rights to be left alone, the left takes over the movement and makes it about grievance and division and envy in order to get more power for the left. and we get angry, right at quote unquote gay people. what we really mean is the gay activists instead of saying, you know, no, you know, we'll leave you alone, but don't force me to like you. I'm not proud of you. And don't let your propaganda into my schools and keep your lousy porn out of my Disney movies. I don't want to anywhere near my kids.'t to have make a cake that says, congratulates your wedding. If I don't believe it is a wedding, you know, those are the things that we want, right? We don't want to hate the people. You know, You know, Meghgan Basham is a wonderful example of how to do this. She's crusader an absolute crusader for evangelical churches to stick to traditional preaching about homosexuality in the church She treats gay people W love and respect and kindness because she's Christ an actual Christian. That to me is what American conservatism should look like, right? Principles for principles. We're principles who do love for the people. We love the people. You know, And if a guy is talented and he's Noel Coward or Colporter and he's gay, we get it. you know, artists are weird. you know, we get it, people who are different don't I don't want to bug them, I don't wantan to scream at them. I just want to be left alone and I want them to be left alone as well. But the left poisons Liberalism. I mean, this is the thing. There is something liberal about American conservatism because we're trying to preserve trition of revolution, of liberalism and enlightenment tradition. And so there is something kind of liberal about American conservatism, which is very confusing. But we do kind of want to let people alone. We do kind of want to look the other way at the occasional flub or sin or whatever like that. That's very much in the American character. So this week, two sick kids and the left poisons these things. The left is not liberal. I never call them liberals because they're not. I always call them leftists because they are and they are not liberal. and they poison liberalism, which is part of our constitutional inheritance. So this week, two sick kids mentally ill, obviously, walked into an Islamic center in San Diego and they shot three people before shooting themselves. and the police are investigating as a hate crime Apparently they left a note, it's like seventy five pages long or something like this. and they hate everybody. This is according to the FBI and also CBS News, I think, got the manifesto. They hate Jews. They especially hate Jews, of course, it's always the Jews. Why do you think? They hate Muslims, they hate women, they hate Latinas They gay they hate trans, they hate Trump. They hate what they called magatard boomers, I guess that would be me. And women the thing on women is after the Jew, the most evil creature in this world is the woman. you know, And of one of these guys was short. And he said, you know, as someone who's been short my whole life, trust me, I know from experience, they've never let me forget it So anyway Carly this is like Cumbine and Fali ad do, they're crazy But there's also some stuff, you know, but but there's also stuff circulating online from conservatives. that purports to be a screenshot that the security guard put up off pro Hitler material, anti Jewish material. I can't I tried to find reliable corroboration of that. I'm very suspicious of that. I do not see that. I don't see the corroboration. I could be wrong, but I'm just saying in my search word, I couldn't find it. I'm also suspicious of social media reports that the shooters were trans, which seems more b. They seem to hate trans people That seems more based on their long hair and they kind of had girly faces, but I don't think they're trans either. So let's for argument's sake because it's hard to do this, but let's take the FBI at their word. They hated everybody. they went after the Muslims. Wh knows so they were so nuts. Who knows why they went to the Muslims instead of the Jews when they every page of this manifesto was against Jews What do we want here What do we want here? Do we want to condemn? I mean peopleople kind of saying, oh, you know, kind of dancing a little bit on the graves of the Muslims, like the left danced on the grave of Charlie Kirk, you know and the CEO of the insurance company That's not what I want. As a conservative, as a conservative American who has basically loves the founding, you know? I mean, you know that scene in when Harry met Sally, when Sally pretends have an orgasm in the cafe and the woman next to her says, I want what she's having. That's the way I feel about George Washington. Whatever he says, I want what he's having. Whever he is, that's what I want. So I love this country and I want to preserve it That means preserving religious tolerance Tolerance and especially religious tolerance are essential to religious freedom and therefore to freedom And the left ruins this by, you know, as they do so many ideas because They weaponize it against us. So you have a media that emphasizes anti Muslim hate, minimizes anti Christian hate, hides the motive of Islamist terrorists and trans shooters and left wing rioters and so on, while emphasizing anything that can be attached to the right wing. J as examplees, so a trans killer shoots up a church in Minneapolis Here's the headline in the New York Times, a former newspaper. What motivated the Minneapolis church shooter We may never know A man wearing a property of aah sweatshirt killed three people in Austin, Texas earlier this year, The Times headline read, invvestigators examine Iran war as possible motive in Austin shooting. In other words, no Muslim ever killed anybody until Trump messed things up by messing with our friends in Iran. Times headline on the San Diego shooting, San Diego Mosque attack comes amid rising reports of Islamophobia. What garbage? What garbage? Now the Times understands what they're doing. They understand that they're lying and they're goosing you and making you angry. They know exactly what they're doing. I've seen them do it a million times. and then when you get angry, you say stupid stuff Like, oh, these rotten Muslims, they deserve it because you're so pissed off. and then they get to point at you and say, seeee, these guys are the bad guys. And so you have to know what you want What do you want? notot let anger, you know, this is what I'm talking about, not let the U, anger of the flesh, you know, the tribaleness of the flesh get in your way, not to let competitive envy make you seek to outdo how evil the left is. All of these things, you have to look at yourself and say, what kind of country do I want to live in? You know, what I want people not to be shot at while they're praying at all. I don't want people to be shot at all, but especially not when they're praying. I want tolerance of religions I disagree with. I want my Muslim neighbor to be left alone to worship his God. teen hundred years of hostility between Christendom and Islam. I do think it's utterly fair to question and discuss openly whether Islam at scale, not an Islamic person, not a person who is a Muslim, but Islam as a philosophy at scale is antithetical to American culture and should immigration therefore be carefully limited. I don't think that that's a bad question. The Constitution is not a suicide pack We can ask, should we be on the lookout for Muslims, for instance, who use political power and our tolerance to supersede our freedom and our tolerance, to overturn tolerance? Because remember this, our Delaration defines who we are. Our Declaration of Independence defines who we are, the underlying philosophy as Lincoln new of thestitution And it says all men are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life liberty in the pursuit of happiness. And to secure these rights given to you by your creator, governments are instituted among men and derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. That is who we are. Now, when Marco Rubio quoted this and said our rights don't come from government and laws, they come from God Here is Senator Tim Kaine, one time governor of Virginia, where the man who wrote the dececlaration, Thomas Jefferson, came from. this is what Tim Kanain, the moron, said. This is a quote from Secretary Rubio. Our rights come from God, our creator not from our laws, not from our governments I find that very, very troubling I'm a devout person. I was a missionary in Honduras. We've got other devout folks in this room, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American. The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't come from the government, but come from the creator, That's what the Iranian government believes. It's a theocratic regime bases its rule on Shia law and targets Sunnis, Baahis, Jews, Christians, and other religious minorities. So this guy was almost vice president. He was Hillary's running mate, his buffoon, obviously How do we handle this? How do we handle our tolerance for religion, includingam our patriotic Islamic Americans but still maintain that if a town becomes majority Muslim, they then have no right to get in the way of anybody else or to broadcast their prayers more loudly than anybody else I agree with Anton Scalia on this. He said the government cannot choose between religions, but it can choose between atheism and theism And while we can't enforce Christianity, we can say that a God who doesn't guarantee the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, who doesn't guarantee the rights that are made good in the Bill of Rights, we can say that that God is not God. He is not our God. America doesn't have it't God is Jesus. It doesn't say God is Yahwahh, it doesn't say God is Allah, but it does say that God, this is the God who gives us rights and we have a right to live under that God. I want a secular government, but I want a secular government under It has to be. It's the only way. It's the only way we can preserve ourself. The lefte poisons a lot of liberal notions by basically because basically they're trying to destroy America. They're not proud of America. They hate the founding. They're trying to destroy it. So the only time they bring up American rights is when it's the right of a gangster to not be deported. That's what they do. It's always something destructive I say no. the first thing we have to do is protect the rights that we have. They come from God. we get to have that God, and that tos the God who's going to rule over America while it is governed by secular systems that will not get in the way of people worshiping God You know I like living in a country where people of different races get together to celebrate the fourourth of July. I find that incredibly moving. I believe that it is part of the mission of America to spread essentially British values to all people, just like it was the mission of the Roman Empire to spread Greek values around the world You know, the left, when the left privileges blacks and starts talking about the evil of whiteness, it can make you if you're reactionary, it can make you racist, justust like if they start going into this climate panic stuff, which is supposed to destroy our country, the UN just released a paper saying, it's not as bad as we pretended it was you know, It makes you not want to be a conservationist. but no, I want the planet to be clean. I want to water clean or air clean. but I don't want them to poison these great ideas and I don't want to react to their poison it. I don't want to take the poison Uh, you know, they they make us people cruelly because they put gay pornography in schools and Disney movies and we get pissed off. We should not drink the poison. We should keep our mind on what we want. We're American conservatives. We're not against change, but let it come in keeping with our founding principles. That was what Edmund Burke said, Let the change come in keeping with your founding principles. We have to argue that the foundations that underline those principles God who gave us rightites, the ordered life and moral life that makes liberty possible, those things can't be dismantled in the name of those principles where the principles themselves will disappear. That is American conservatism. We don't have to hate anybody. we don't have to insult anybody, we don't have to scream at anybody. We just have to preserve our freedom Hey, remember when you were younger and you could survive on four hours of sleep, caffeine and frozen pizza and somehow still function? at certain point that stopped working, didn't it? Honestly, this time of year makes sleep even harder for a lot of people. Summer travel starts, bedtimes drift later, everybody's routine becomes slightly chaotic for school break, which is why the quality of your sleep setup Dart mattering a lot more than people think. That's one reason Helix has become such a popular mattress brand. Helix makes mattresses tailored to different sleep styles and preferences because not everybody sleeps the same way. Some people sleep hot, some need extra support, some toss and turn constantly. Some, like me, just never sleep. But that's why I love Helix even more than most people because I get to experience Helix all night long. I get to lie there thinking, wow, I'm glad I'm not asleep because this is so comfortable. One of the underrated things about a really good mattress is that you stop thinking about these things. You just sleep. Helix also has more than twenty different mattress models so people can actually find something tailored to how they sleep instead of just buying one generic mattress and hoping for the best And according to Helix a study they ran found that eighty two percent of participants saw an increase in deep sleep after switching to a Helix mattress. The mattress ships directly to your door. There's one hundred twenty night sleep trial and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. 'a at the end of the day, better sleep really does improve almost every other aspect of your life So I've heard. G to helixleep dot com slash Kaven for twenty seven percent off sitewide.

Chapter three, the whole trruth All right, let's talk about the political week. Trump is stuck in these on again, off again, negotiations with Iran. They seem to be doing what the Iranians do, which is they make this noise like they want to negotiate and then they send over a paper. There's nothing like we want. And you know, the Republicans are getting very jumpy about this because it's hurting Trump's approval ratings and it's hurting their approval ratings and the economy is not snapping back the way people want it to. And Trump is at least saying that he doesn't Mind that.s he's going to get this done. He's not going to let Iran get nuclear weapons. So here's cut one. We're going to give this one shot. I'm in no hurry. You never think, Oh, the mid tterms, I'm in hurry I'm in no hurry. I just Ideally I'd like to see a few people killed as opposed to a lot. We can do it either way, but but I'd like to see if you be able kill. So you know, I think Trump may not feel that way. He may be nervous about the midterms too, but he's certainly playing it that way and I think he thinks that way because, you know, he set out to do this thing Wh I've talked about, kind it's kind of visionary idea that he wants America to be strong for the coming struggle with China. And I think that part of that is having control of you know the oil coming out of the Middle East and having friends in the Middle East, especially Israel. But not, you know, it's funny. I heard Tucker Carlson saying, oh, you know, he took out Thomas Massey, Trump took out Thomas Massse. he endorsed Thomas Massey's opponent and Massse lost. because he was against Israel. And Masi had become, he did not start out as an anti Semite, but he's now sounding very much like an anti Semite. So a man after Tucker Carlson's heart, and Carlson says this is how it works if you're not for Israel. But the funny thing about it is, well, first of all, Israel is saying We'll do anything that Trump wants us to do. Trump apparently got into a bit of a scrap with Netanyahu, or a tense phone call. This is the way it's being described. Trump says it wasn't that tense. but you know Basically, Israel said We'll do whatever Trump wants. And Trump says, they'll do whatever we want. You know, he's not he's not worried about this. But still, the Republicans are getting very nervous and and Trump is sticking to his guns. So The ironic thing about this whole Israel thing is that Obama, by strengthening Iran with this stupid nuclear deal, he brought the Arab nations closer to Israel for unity and protection, which made Israel stronger Whas Trump using that closeness to get the Abraham accccords through, he's made Israel slightly less important because now he has a range of allies in the Middle East that he can turn to, and yet the Jewiters hate Trump because they're idiots. But anyway, this is something that Trump is doing. The idea that the right is fragmenting, which has been they've been selling the people who hate the Daily wire, the people who think Tucker Carlson is more important than he is, including Tucker Carlson, who thinks he's more important than he is, the idea that the right is fragmenting or MAGA is fragmenting is clearly false. Trump's endorsements carry the day everywhere he made them, Kentucky, Texas, all around all across the board. It is clear that MAGA is still united behind this president and that he is still strong and he means to use that strength. And everything in the news is based on whether people agree with Trump, in which case they caved, right? They're supine, or whether they disagreed with him, in which case they're defiant and heroic. You keep hearing this. Harvard defies, you, Trump to keep DEI. And you think, but Trump's right They shouldn't defy them. They're just schmachs, you know, they're just wrong. And so Everything is put in terms of Trump. And then Trump is always depicted and we do this a little bit at the Daily wire or do, I've heard, Trump is always depicted as if All these His motives are self interested. Everything about him is self interested. Trump wants to secure his legacy. Trump wants to protect his friends. He wants to avenge his enemies. Instead of what it's very clear that Trump has an agenda for the country and he wants to get this, make America great again. Nob nobody ever asks And they should this the left, especially should ask What do Americans want? that Trump supplies You know, because they hate him so much, they can only think that anybody who votes for him is evil, which is a stupid thing to think because it's half the country. What you know, I understand what the left wants. I understand that there's injustice and you know, there's a history of racism and it bothers people. It sits on their conscious. I get that. There are plenty I know plenty of left wing people. They're not really left wing, they're liberal people They just don't realize what their party has left the station. but they The things they want are things that I understand and sympathize with If you don't know what people want, the Trump is giving them. Th I don't understand. I think that there I think there is something that he wants. And I'll talk about that a little bit later in the last chapter, but there's something that he gives us that is really, really important. And part of it is vision. And people are following him not because they get his vision, but because they know he has a vision of a strong, free America that operates on common sense You know, On the left, meanwhile, on the left, they're coming apart at the seams. They're in a civil war and they are their Democratic socialist candidates are winning in heavily deemocrat areas. And that always gives people the idea the far part of any party, whether it's far right or far left, always says if you would just let the people see us, give us us as a candidate, they would vote for us. And usually that turns out not to be true. There's usually a lot more people want things to go back to the middle, but wherever the left is is thick. They are selling these left wing socialist candidates and they are winning like Mom Donny in New York and the mayayor of Seattle, they are winning know, leftists are winning, which means that AOC could very well be the next presidential candidate, which is really a dangerous thing. The one thing about them, though, that I think is really important is when they talk about redistributing money They're talking about decline the only people who are in favor of the future. And this is another thing about conservatives, right? The left calls themselves progressives and the conservatives feel in their hearts that they want to hold things back. know that William F. Buckley line want to stand astride, history yelling stop. But that's not true of American conservatives. American conservatives are up for the next best idea. They just know it's going to come from an Elon Musk It's not going to come from an AOC. Really, really simple. Really simple test. Would you rather deal with Jeff Bezos's Amazon or the DMV? Youre right?ich would You can hate Jeff Bezos. You can say, oh, he dumped his wife. You can say whatever you want. He's not nice That is one of the greatest inventions in human history. I press a button. I can get a book that's been out of print for fifty years. It shows up in my door, while my hand is still on the button. I mean it' you know come on, if you're not shopping at Amazon, are you are missing one of the great experiences of this new century Bezos did that, now go to the DMV and try to get your license renewed and you will see the difference They are not that is not the future. The future comes from individuals. It does not come from the government. And this is where I disagree with the Catholic integralist. Again, I do not think the government should be setting the culture. I think individuals create the culture out of the things they make. And so this is the thing about the other thing about conservatives. American conservatives are forward looking. You know AI is coming out under a lot of hile hostility toward AI. And I don't blame people because the people making AI keep saying, no, it's going to change everything to take all your jobs away. you're doomed Why can't we build our data center here? What do you mean? can It's like people are showing up at data centers and protesting because they don't want them built there because they think their jobs are going to go away. But between the two parties, it's the Democrats who really hate AI. It's the Bernie Sanders who want to stop because they think they can preserve a world in which the people who have jobs making buggy whips continue to make buggy whips even though the car has been invented The right, the capitalists understand that that we've got to go forward. China's going to get AI. We willll be destroyed if we don't have AI, there's going to be change. Now here's the one thing. Because of the way democracy is set up and especially in America, where we all all are so divided that nobody talks to one another, everybody has half an idea Everybody has half an idea. The right has this idea, Hey, you know, the the capitalist right has this idea, Hey, you know Yeah, it'll be disruptive. There'll be a period of disruption, but then AI is going to be a great thing. I agree with that. But that period of disruption, let's say it's fifteen years. let's say it's twenty years and people are going to be out of work for twenty years, that's a lifetime. That's your life. You can't get that back We should have a full idea, okay? It's a It's like Ben and I always get in these arguments because we agree on so much, but there's certain things we disagree on. So Ben will say, you know, if you don't Um, if if you' any can make more money somewhere else, it should just move. And I think, well, okay, I get it. It's free to do that But if we lose our communities, if people are just leaving, I think it's a great thing that Americans can leave, that if California stinks, go to Florida, great, it's great If you lose communities, you will lose conservatism because people will have no ties to the ground. they'll have no ties to their to their neighbors. So you have to have a whole idea. have has an idea and says, Yeahah, you know, we should look into what we can do to smooth the transition so it's not like the industrial revolution, families being destroyed, machines being blown up That's not what we want. We want it, We want AI, we want to get it faster than anybody else, better than anybody else, but we wantna take care of our workers. We want businesses to think like citizens a little bit. know I think that that's a full idea. So we want to get the whole truth, not just half the truth There are moments in life that change everything instantly. Sometimes it's planned, sometimes it's unexpected. But for a lot of families few moments are more emotional than finding out a new baby is on the way. I can remember that moment. It does change everything. And imagine what it would be like if you weren't filled with excitement right away, if it was a problem, if you were filled with fear and uncertainty. if you had questions about whether you could handle what comes next, that's why orizations preborn exists Preborn helps connect women facing unexpected pregnancies with support, encouragement and ree ultrasounds. That ultrasound matters more than people realize because when a woman sees her baby and hears that heartbeat, it dramatically increases the likelihood that she will choose life. Importantly, the support doesn't stop there. prereborn helps provide real practical support for mothers, maternity resources, counseling, baby supplies, diapers, clothing, and ongoing care to help women feel prepared instead of alone. This is one of those moments where even a relatively small contribution can make a real difference justust twenty eight dollars provides one ultrasound appointment one hundred and forty dollars helps reach five mothers. And those moments can change lives for both the mother and the child and really the entire family. To get involved, dial pound two hundred fifty and say the keyword baby, that's pound two hundred fifty, keyword baby, or visit preborn dot com slash Claven. that's preborn dot com d slash KLA V A N Final chapter, what Trump has given us In England, there was a demonstration this week against all this migration, immigration, whatever you want to call it. I mean Kir Starmer, the prime mininister, has been utterly destroyed in the by elections, but he won't leave. He just won't leave. And the people are really getting restless. So Tommy Robinson, anti immigration activist led a march that people were saying there were fifty thousand people there. It looked like a million people to me. I mean, it really did. if not more. It was an amazing march you know, we want our country back H here's Tommy Robinson telling what he sees. If We're on the march, we're walking up towards Trafalga Square Parliament squareres ready for. The crowds stretch from here to Eustston Station apparently, which is miles, o? Miles, this is the biggest event in British history. This is the moment, a turning point for Britain A message to the leaders Wiam's ready for the fight. Were. We're not going to back down. We want our country back. We want our country back. Now I've talked to British friends and I've asked, why are you pretending to be multicultural? You were never multicultural. You were always a race based country. It was always the British race of what becomes thearate sceptered race. The multiculturalis that's our idea because it's our mission, God given mission. don't we didn't think this was our mission, but it turns out this is what God wants from us. He wants us to spread British ideas to the world. That's whyome the Roman Empire was a multicultural empire, not so much Athens, right? That's just the way it works. So why not stick up, you know, like I said, you want to be who you are You want to want what you want, not what you think the guy next you wants, even if he seems to be more successful than you because the only real success in life is to fulfill that self that you were given by God, that image of God in yourself. That's the only real success in life and the only thing that will give you joy. It really is. I mean, I've seen people with a billion dollars, well, like I've said before, if money and fame and all this stuff makes you happy, there wouldn't be all those dead Hollywood guys taking drugs. So This is the thing Tommy Robinson is always demonized I don't know whether he's a good guy or bad guy. I don't live in England He is saying what should be said in Britain thing that Donald Trump has given us, the great gift he has given us is the courage to speak your mind plainly. I gott to show you this one clip and that clip apropo, nothing. It has nothing to do with anything we're talking about. Well, it sort of does, but that's not why I'm playing it. He was interviewed by Bret Ber, the last TV journalist Bear did a great interview with him And he asked him and Trump said, you know the Iranians are saying they can't give us the nuclear dust because you bombed the mountain that was under the mountain collapsed on top of it. We can't get it out. Only, you know a great society like America or China could get this stuff out. and B Brett Ber said, Well, why not end the war because isn't that enough? And Trump said it is enough, but it's not good enough for I have to be seen to win, essentially, is what he said. I'm not quoting them, but that's essentially what he said today. Nkidchs win, I have to be seen to win. And he said, listen, We can take them anytime they try and get that dust out, we can kill them because we've got cameras in space. And this is what he said. Here's Trump. Space Force, which I created. has got cameras, nine different cameras in space on that site. We know everybody that moves there. We can read the name of a person we can knee if If his name is Mohammed something And most of them are Mohammed, you can guess, about fifty percent right We can read his name right on his tag from space. It's the most amazing thing. I love that. fifty percent of the name Muhammed. But we have cameras that can read the name, but it's going to be Mhammed. I just love that because nobody else, before Trump, nobody else would have said, No politician would have said that on the air. and now people don't even recognize her to think about it. You know We are always because conservatives are by nature worried about things collapsing, we always think we're losing. And there are lots and lots of people who do what I do, who comment on politics and culture, who will tell you that you're losing and that you should be angry. Why? Because anger and fear sell. What I'm doing right now, not so popular I know that. I could be a fearmonger. I could be, you know I could be an anger monger. But to tell you the truth, it's not as popular, but this is the truth because people want what they want. They don't want to know what they want. They want to want what they want. And a lot of times that's that anger and fear that makes them feel powerful and strong, makes them feel like they're doing anything. But think about this Gun rights have spread across the country. There are now, I don't know, there must be thirty places that now have conceal carry laws. There almost every state now has a law, you know, allowing you know, carrying guns, making sure that you can get a license for a gun. Education, school choice is spreading throughout so many victories that we are having that dont we don't even think about them. Immigration enforcement, obviously the border is closed. so that's a big deal. overver a year, I think, without anybody breaking in energy production, drill, baby drill, that's all happening. Police are coming back. We're getting rid of some of this cashless bail stuff that let the bad guys out overturning Roe, obviously a big deal, still a lot of work to be done, but at least babies now have their human rights back again. At least we can talk about that The most important thing because everything else depends on it. It's not the most important thing, but it's the most important thing because everything else depends on it is we can now speak up. There was no You know, when I started doing this, when Foxed before there was Fox, there was no right wing media. Before there was Rush, there was no right wing media. Now it's all over the place. Now our voices are all over the place. Now we're in a conversation. This is Trump's great gift is that he weaponized that fact. He turned that fact into a truth by having the courage do it. This is why I'm so down on the John Thounes and the people in Congress who will not move because they're so afraid of the New York Times, a former newspaper Trump has shown us the way and that's the thing we have to have above all. If you have the courage, you know, they wonderful lines from goingone with the wind. With enough courage you can do without a reputation. withith enough courage you don't care when leftists call you racist or Islamophobic or anything else. We know what we want. If we know what we want, our mission is to preserve our Dlaration and our constitution with Liberty for all, which takes it a turn a determination to Keep the power of the powerful down, which means we have to set them off against each other, right? We have to set parts of the government off against each other. We have to set the government off against billionaires and the billionaires off against the government. We don't want anybody screwing with the little guy. Let the little guy be free. We want the power to run our own lives. We want to keep the money we earned. At what point does Elon Musush's money become your money Never, it never becomes your money. A little bit of taxes to make sure the trains run on time. That's it. You know, it's not as much money as he wants to make. He can make it. He's not taking it from you. He's takaking it from the wealth that he creates That's decline, all this stuff about, know, oh, we got to spread the money out. No, make more stuff, make more freedom, more freedom, we will make more stuff. We should turn, you know, we should be optimistic about the future. That is the role of American conservatism, but not just optimistic about any future, optimistic about a future in which people make stuff and that stuff etermines what the future will be. Change is going to come, big change is coming right now. It's on its way. But the way we behave, each one of us behaves and the things we make, whether it's a family or a machine or a work of art, no matter what we make, those are the things that are going to determine what the future looks like. and we better make sure it looks like the America that the founders made As you know, I've spent a lot of my life fishing.

So please and I love hearing from you. I truly do. so write in From Dalton, Hello, master of Mystery and mananliness. I have a question regarding aliens. I was listening to a discussion on a recent episode of Jeremy Boring's YouTube show. He and some others were talking about aliens and how they would affect people's faith and so on. My question is why? Why wouldn't we just expand the definition of humans instead of destroying our faith? Really good question. I had this discussion with Michael Knowles over Easter. And we were you know having a cigar together. and he said, well, he didn't think there could be aliens. He thinks aliens are demons. They didn't think there could be aliens because that would somehow dilute the effect of Jesus Christ's salvation on the planets I am really against that way of thinking God is a free agent. God can do whatever he wants. He can have made the world any way He wanted to make it. you know in a way, the theory of Christianity is that religion advances that that Judaism installed the law in people's hearts to the point where Jesus could be born a Jew and then spread that law to other people. to the world. So Christianity is in some ways a progressive religion if it turns out Jesus is on all the planets. If it turns out he's on this planet, God can do anything He pleases. So we don't tell creation what it should be. You know, creation tells us what God has planned. That what God did. That's the way it worked as far as I'm concerned. why That's why the church was wrong to torment Galileo, even though the story is more complicated than People say All right, from Justin, Eumis S Glvin, I often hear from the Delliwire or Last mrter Shapiro, that church is the best place to find a partner. I go to a small Wesleyan church that my family has attended for a long time. The people there are lovely, but the majority are four times my age. Yeah. I love the opportunity to serve, but I find community dating opportunities lacking. How should I proceed? You know I've been out of the dating game for quite a long time I think that the two pieces of advice that I've heard that I really like that the firstirst one, the best one, is make sure that at least once a week you go out and do something where you might meet somebody that you would be sympathetic with. So if the church has charity work, if it has mission work, or if there's some other place where you might expect to meet nice girls, go out and do it. Don't sit around waiting for her to knock on your door. And I think that's good advice, know, making sure that you are a part of a community where there are young ladies who are going to be the kind of young lady you want to be with And the other thing is, there are plenty of online dating things that are specifically targeted to Christians. It obviously is perilous, but all things are perilous and all ways of meeting are perilous. If you're not going to be introduced by friends and relatives, which is the best way to meet people, I don't think that a Christian dating app is a bad idea. I think that that actually is a good idea and there'shing nothing wrong with it. Why not use technology for something good instead of for stuff like porn All right, I got to stop there.
