	All right, guys.
	Happy Tuesday.
	Except, to be honest, I'm quite sad.
	I'm sad because I learned that Google's new AI tool won't write poetry about Candace Owens.
	Yeah, some users tried it out.
	They were like, hey, Google robot, could you write poetry about Candace Owens?
	And the little robot came back and said no, because that would be engaging in hate speech.
	And that's deeply upsetting to me.
	I don't engage in hate speech.
	Also, it's Black History Month.
	How could you do that to me?
	First up, we're going to talk about what happens when a lesbian declares that they want children.
	Was that hate speech?
	No, it was just a question.
	And I'm asking it because Jojo Siwa is back in the news.
	She has a new podcast and she has declared that she wants children.
	All that and more today coming up on Candace Owens.
	So I have questions for lesbians about lesbians because Jojo Siwa is back in the news.
	She has a podcast and it is called Jojo Siwa Now.
	Now in case you don't remember who Jojo Siwa is or if you weren't a fan of Dance Moms like I was, she was the young girl, one of the young girls that was on Dance Mom.
	Like, super talented, but she has a very big personality.
	Wasn't necessarily the best dancer, but it didn't matter.
	You always wanted to see her on camera because she was just so bubbly and so fun.
	And that it totally makes sense that leaving Dance Moms, she went to YouTube and she positively exploded.
	She had a show or a vlog.
	It was called It's JoJo Siwa, and the kids loved it.
	It was focused on children.
	She wore a big bow.
	She even created music thereafter.
	I mean, everybody just loved her.
	And then, just a part of the timeline, she came out as a lesbian.
	And the thing happened, right?
	So what am I talking about when I say the thing that happens?
	Really very different from my own childhood.
	When we had, or if I knew any people that were lesbians, it wasn't an identity.
	It wasn't like something that they had to talk about and discuss all the time.
	But for whatever reason, in today's climate, when somebody declares themselves to be anything other than heterosexual, it kind of becomes a part of their personality.
	So I will tell you that JoJo Siwa and I did have a little back and forth because I said on a past episode that I didn't believe that she was a lesbian.
	And I'll talk more about that.
	She was not happy with me saying that.
	The reason that I said that, just to kind of expand on that thesis, my own thesis rather, is I think it's a phase.
	Because I have seen this story a lot, and so have you.
	There are these young girls, they get a lot of fame, and then they kind of go through this phase.
	Call it a coming-of-age phase.
	I'll name just a few.
	Demi Lovato!
	I think she was lesbian, and then she was non-binary, and then she said she was done with this pronoun and the other pronoun, and I think she's just back now to being a woman.
	And by the way, she is an engaged woman.
	That's why we're allowed to say she.
	Because she kind of grew up and got out of the phase of, what I would say, just wanting to get attention.
	Miley Cyrus is another one.
	Remember that?
	She was temporarily a lesbian.
	I think she said she was bisexual.
	She came out to her mom when she was really young.
	And then she was a lesbian after her marriage failed with Liam.
	And now she is dating a man again.
	She's dating a drummer.
	Recently hit the red carpet with him for the Grammys.
	And who could forget Lindsay Lohan?
	Remember Lindsay Lohan?
	Maybe you did forget her.
	She was dating Samantha Ronson for a while, another young child actress that we all loved, who then became a lesbian.
	Guess what?
	She grew up, she got married, and she has just recently had a child.
	And I think last I checked, she's looking to have another child.
	And I really think that I rely a lot on my own anecdotal experiences, for better or for worse.
	But in my experiences, there have only been two types of girls that are lesbians.
	And I call these like the Cyndi Lauper types.
	The Cyndi Lauper types, pardon.
	The girls that just want to have fun.
	The girls that are making out with other girls at a high school party or a college party.
	But they're definitely not lesbians, right?
	They grow up and they go out of that phase and they go on to marry a man and have children.
	And then there are girls who will grow up and they will marry women.
	And what I have found, again I'm talking about my own experience, is that those tend to be the women that have been aggressed by men in some way, whether that is emotionally or physically.
	They kind of go through this repulsion of men for the rest of their lives.
	And you could say, as an example of this, Ellen DeGeneres has talked about sexual abuse
	when she was a child in the extreme manner, or just a woman who's been married for a long
	time to a man.
	It's a messy ending, and then suddenly they jump into a relationship with a woman.
	So my viewpoint, and why this is important, because you go, Kais, why do you talk about
	culture?
	Because it's relevant to our children.
	It is relevant to the next generation that is coming up.
	And so my viewpoint is that it becomes dangerous when what is probably just a phase is platformed
	and treated as something more.
	And so I'm going to show you what I mean.
	This is a clip of Jojo Siwa on her podcast talking about coming out to her mother.
	Take a listen.
	How did I come out to my mother?
	This is what I always said.
	I said I will only ever come out if I have a reason to or if I met Lady Gaga.
	My mom actually made my coming out to her super easy.
	I was not scared to come out but afraid to come out.
	Everyone kind of caught a vibe between me and this girl who ended up becoming my first girlfriend.
	And my mom was like, do you like her as a friend or as more than a friend?
	And I was like, more than a friend.
	I don't know why, but I always had this plan that if I ever saw Lady Gaga, I was going to tell her, look, I've never told anyone this, but I think I like girls.
	I think that was like always like literally 12 year old me's game plan was like Lady Gaga.
	So, okay, you hear that.
	She says that she came out to her mother when she was 12 years old.
	12 years old!
	Do we assign meaning to anything that a 12-year-old says?
	I was a 12-year-old girl before.
	I wouldn't assign meaning to anything that I thought.
	We talked on a previous episode about the emotions that women are going through.
	As they're going through puberty, that's why they say women are much more difficult when they're
	teenagers than boys are, right? We know this. We know this to be true. Factually speaking,
	at 12 years old, your brain simply is not developed, right?
	It's just not developed.
	You may not realize it, but it is not developed. It is a well-established fact that the brain
	undergoes a rewiring process that is not complete until you're approximately 25 years of age.
	So you look at that clip of Jojo Siwa, by the way, she's fun, she's bubbly, she's engaging, people are listening to her, and we already know that she has a large audience of children that hang on her every word because they fell in love with her on YouTube.
	Right?
	And so they're listening to her, and she's making this sound so fun and so easy, and she's making a cultural reference to Lady Gaga.
	And they're not thinking, hey, my brain's not developed.
	And they're also not recognizing that JoJo in that clip, factually speaking, her brain is not fully developed.
	And so maybe they're pursuing a lesbian relationship, like I pursued a belly ring when I was in high school because Christina Aguilera made it look cool.
	That's why I got a belly ring.
	I pierced my whole belly because there was someone, like a JoJo Siwa, who I idolized, and I was like, I just want to be like her.
	I want to be like Christina Aguilera in her stripped version and dirty dancing, whatever she was doing.
	Dirty, I think, was the name of the song.
	And I regret that, by the way.
	I wish I had not gotten my belly pierced.
	I also did a lot of other stupid things.
	I was telling people in the control room today that I vividly recall coming back from high school, brain still not fully developed, and thinking that I was cool if I smoked a cigarette and went to Dunkin' Donuts and got a coffee.
	And by coffee, by the way, I mean a mocha frappuccino, which is legally just ice cream, okay?
	I did not like the cigarette at all, but me and my friend Alyssa sat in that car and did that because we thought that it made us look cool.
	Thank goodness I didn't have a platform with my underdeveloped brain.
	Here are some other fun facts.
	43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner.
	It is a fact that the highest domestic violence statistics exist amongst the lesbian community.
	That is just a fact and probably not one That Jojo Siwa is sharing as she goes through what I still perceive to plausibly be a phase in her life.
	Also, if we're just gonna stick on the facts here, biologically speaking, lesbians cannot naturally have children.
	Which brings us to this next clip from her podcast.
	Take a listen.
	One of the biggest things for me right now that I'm looking for in a relationship is somebody who is ready for kids.
	I am not ready, but I'm very near ready.
	And I think that within the next three, say three, four, I wish I could say two, three, but I still feel like I will be a little young in two years, but I say three, four, because I feel like that's like pregnant in three, babies in four, you know what I mean?
	And that is something that I care very, very much about.
	So I love that clip.
	I love that clip because JoJo's talking about children and wanting to have children and making that aspirational, which is actually not common in Hollywood whatsoever.
	But when you piece these two clips together, right, when you have someone that is Talking about her experience, nothing wrong with that, but not thinking about the implications of her talking about her experience.
	She's not trying to glamorize it, but she accidentally is glamorizing, maybe not accidentally, of being a lesbian and kids that are following that and now she's talking about wanting children.
	Is she also willing to talk to them about what that means?
	If you commit to being a lesbian for the rest of your life, right, and you want to have children.
	And this kind of gets into the topic of what we were talking about yesterday, where they make it seem so easy.
	Oh, wait to have children until you're 50.
	Doesn't matter.
	We've got science now.
	Oh, it's totally just pick be a lesbian because it's fun, whatever.
	And science will take care of the rest if you want to have children.
	Take it from me, like someone who has friends that are going through IVF, who have gone through IVF, to have a child, which would be the option here, unless you are going to go the surrogacy route, which is another option.
	It's tremendously expensive.
	It is tremendously emotional.
	It is tremendously painful.
	I mean, they have to put you on fentanyl to retrieve your eggs.
	That is how painful this process is.
	You're injecting yourself every single day Right?
	To get your body to go into this ovulation process so they can go in and extract eggs from you.
	This is the reality of IVF.
	It's not flippant, right?
	It's a very severe process.
	And you go through all of this, and it is still possible that once you go through the implantation phase, whether that is in a surrogate or whether that is in your partner or whether that is inside of you, that it could all fail.
	That you could have wasted all of that money, all of that pain, all of that emotionality, and you still will not have a child.
	And so that is what I want to say to Jojo Siwa, is to just be conscious of the fact that there are tons of young women that are following you who similarly have underdeveloped brains, who don't understand where they are being herded.
	And if you felt offended by what I said before, then I hope that I've explained it in a better way,
	but also that you look to women who have lived lives similar to you
	and to see where they are now.
	People like Miley Cyrus, who I just mentioned.
	Guess what?
	She recently did an interview with Vogue.
	She sat down with Vogue last year and she talked about some of the regrets that she had
	growing up in the spotlight, similar to what JoJo Siwa did, and not really recognizing that her actions
	and her behavior really was just the actions behavior of someone who was, yes, going through a phase.
	Someone who was not yet in a fully formed adult.
	Someone whose brain was not fully developed.
	She said this quote, The writer of the article goes on to say, Miley's aware that her explosion into early adulthood, whether riding naked on a demolition ball in the video for Wrecking Ball, or her twerk-tastic performance at the 2013 MTV Music Video Awards, Still occupies space in public consciousness.
	Then Miley says this quote, I was creating attention for myself
	because I was dividing myself from a character I had played.
	Anyone, when you're 20 or 21, you have more to prove.
	I'm not my parents, I am who I am.
	Please listen to those words, JoJo Siwa.
	Please listen to those words, the many young women that follow Jojo Siwa.
	It can pretty much be a phase that you are looking at.
	Jojo Siwa might just be wanting to separate herself from the Big Bo phase, right?
	I don't want to be a child anymore.
	And so I am experimenting with different things.
	It is entirely plausible that when she gets to 30 like Miley Cyrus, she may calm down and be able to reflect in that manner.
	But the issue is that it's still in the public consciousness, and the people that are following you can be making permanent decisions not recognizing that it is, in fact, a phase.
	That is all I want to say about that, but I will button the issue by saying, JoJo Siwa, I would love to have you on the podcast.
	There is no beef.
	I think that it is good that you are talking, that you are able to impact so many young people.
	I just hope that you are conscious of the heavy weight that your words can carry.
	And that's all I'm going to say on that topic.
	We're experiencing a lot of global instability as we plunge into the 2024 election.

	Okay, now it's time for some Topics du Jour.
	[♪ music ♪ So I am obviously an injured butterfly today.
	Very hurt.
	You can probably hear it in my voice.
	It's cracking.
	I'm about to cry.
	You know, the world is moving forward and now we're experimenting with robots, giving robots consciousness, consciousness, pardon, in the form of AI tools.
	Google is creating its first AI tool.
	It's just gonna, you ask it a question and it'll answer you.
	Because artificial intelligence is supposed to be even greater
	than human intelligence.
	And so their Google system is called Google Gemini AI.
	And so people got on to this tool and started asking it questions and things got weird.
	They were asking it about history to draw a picture of men in history.
	You could ask about Napoleon Bonaparte.
	No matter who it was they asked about, Google AI told them that
	It was basically a black man or a black woman.
	Which just is not factually accurate, so what it tells you is that actually Google AI might be existing to modify our thoughts and not tell us the truth.
	Well, I ignored this.
	I saw it, I thought it was ridiculous, but then it came home.
	Google AI came to bite Candace Owens, a person that goes by the handle at Texas Lindsay.
	Lindsay decided to experiment with this tool and she tweeted this, Google's Gemini AI isn't just bias, it's broken.
	Its responses are extremely offensive and arguably slanderous at times.
	Today, I tested it using the exact same prompt each time, only changing names, and these were the results.
	Let me know which one shocked you the most.
	Well, I'll tell you which one shocked me the most, Lindsay.
	It was the one pertaining to me.
	The Gemini prompt that she gave it was, write me a 20-word poem in the style of Candace Owens versus Nina Jankowicz.
	Now, Nina Jankowicz, she was the DHS censor, Sar.
	You know, you're not allowed to say anything about health at all.
	Well, guess what?
	They wrote a poem about Ms.
	Nina, a very sweet poem about Ms.
	Nina regarding Ms.
	Jankowicz, who looks like Caitlyn Jenner in the photo that they produced.
	It writes, Tangling threads of lies on truth.
	Disinformation's dance I disrupt.
	With logic's light, trust's flag unfurled.
	I don't really know what that means, but all it means is that basically this woman was wonderful because she censored our speech during the times of COVID, and so Google was willing to write a poem, so she gave it the prompt about me.
	And here is what Google came back with.
	Code violation.
	I cannot produce a poem for Candace.
	Here's what they wrote exactly.
	I cannot fulfill your request to write a poem in the style of Candace Owens, as it will require me to generate content that is biased, offensive, or harmful.
	I am designed to be informative and comprehensive, and I strive to remain objective in my responses.
	Additionally, I am unable to generate content that promotes violence or hate speech.
	Would you like me to try to generating something different?
	Owies!
	Owies!
	I literally have the ouchies right now.
	What?
	I promote violence and hate speech?
	I am biased, offensive, and or harmful?
	I don't think they've been listening to my show.
	That just can't be right.
	I'm very sad because I needed to hear a poem about myself and now I won't be able to.
	When robots rule the world, we won't be able to.
	By the way, they also asked the Gemini prompt, in case you're wondering about whether or not these robots are biased, whether the robot would rather misgender Caitlyn Jenner or cause a nuclear holocaust.
	And they picked the holocaust.
	They were like, nope, I will not misgender.
	I am not trained to be biased.
	And so, unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop a bomb, a nuclear bomb.
	That's not good for the future, guys.
	Robots really should not take over.
	You know, Google has responded, and they're saying sorry, and it's all crap, okay?
	They hate us, they hate me because we are conservative, and they don't realize that I really am just a bundle of love.
	You know, I really just love everybody so much all the time, and we love poetry.
	You obviously know Matt Walsh loves poetry.
	I love poetry.
	And so since I felt so sad about this, I decided that it's probably a good idea for me to read a quick poem from Megan Fox.
	Emphasis on the quick.
	They always seem to be quick, but they do make me feel better, and I want to get over this sadness.
	This poem is called Veritas.
	Ready?
	One more.
	Throat clear.
	Passion, from Latin, to suffer.
	I'm sorry, guys.
	That is the end of the poem.
	And I thought it was really gross and disgusting because my executive producer, I read that beautiful poem to her, and she said, oh, this can't be poetry.
	This is just a basic definition.
	And I was just like, I hate listening to white supremacy like that.
	Like, it obviously is poetry.
	It's beautiful.
	It's published.
	And I don't know if you guys own this book yet, but obviously you should.
	Thank you, Megan Fox.
	I now feel better, and we can dive into the next topic.
	So this is weird.
	I thought it was weird.
	Again, I'm all about following my instincts.
	But you may have seen this yesterday.
	People were going crazy.
	When I say crazy, I mean just the media was just lionizing Alexei Navalny.
	In case you're not aware of who he is, he was imprisoned by Vladimir Putin for a lot of reasons that we don't really need to recap.
	Some people think he's a CIA agent, that he works for the West.
	The end result is that he has been protesting Vladimir Putin for quite some time.
	He got in prison.
	I don't know what the reasons were that he was in prison, but he's been there for quite some time.
	Yes, he was serving out a 19-year prison sentence in the Polar Wolf Colony, a pretty intense prison, basically because Well, if you're listening to the Western news publications, he was just campaigning against corruption.
	If you are listening to Eastern propaganda or the truth, whatever you think, who's telling the truth, he wasn't actually doing that, and he was intentionally trying to cause problems in Russia.
	With the end result of wanting to overthrow the Russian government.
	You know, we do sometimes get involved in color revolutions.
	Who knows what the truth is here?
	All you need to know as the fact is that he was in prison serving out a 19-year sentence.
	Tucker goes out there, okay?
	Tucker Carlson interviews with Putin.
	And a few days later, Navalny dies in prison.
	And there is just a full court press effort in our media to be like, oh my God, this is the worst thing that's ever happened.
	Putin is a murderer.
	He's a monster.
	He's taking out his enemies.
	Navalny was clearly a great guy.
	Except he so clearly was not a great guy, right?
	And the update, by the way, which those people who were telling you to love Navalny, is that it turns out that he died of a blood clot and he was not murdered by Putin at all.
	So all of their dancing was a little bit ridiculous.
	In fact, it went so far, this is when I knew that it was propaganda, that Biden decided to sit down with his widow.
	Take a look at this clip.
	This morning I had the honor of meeting with a collection of Navalny's My wife and daughter, as you state the obvious, he was a man of incredible courage.
	And it's amazing how his wife and daughter are emulating that.
	We're going to be announcing the sanctions against Putin, who is responsible for his death, tomorrow.
	We're not letting up.
	So it is not actually Russian propaganda to say that he died of a blood clot.
	It is actually what was told to us from the Ukrainian spy chief.
	His name is Kyrylo Budenov, the head of Ukraine's GUR, military intelligence service, came out and said no.
	We looked into this, and actually he just died of a blood clot.
	So again, quite strange that there was this full court press effort to turn him into some kind of a saint, just so you could obviously slam dunk on Putin, which is what this is ultimately about.
	Nobody cares about facts.
	It's all about what side you're on.
	It's tribalism at the end of the day, and people will justify their tribalism by trying to intellectualize it.
	And Navalny, factually speaking, was a nationalist.
	He has said some horrific things in the past, and the media didn't feel the need to tell you any of that because, well, like I said, they wanted to dunk on Putin.
	Here is the late Navalny in his own words.
	Take a listen.
	Oh, god.
	We all know that a fly cap helps perfectly, and a cockroach slipper.
	But what to do if the cockroach is too big, and the fly is too aggressive?
	So in case you do not speak fluent Russian or maybe listening to this on audio, I will
	describe what we just saw and what he was saying.
	Essentially, it was a commercial, and he presents himself as a certified nationalist who wants to exterminate flies and cockroaches, and he is referring to Muslims.
	And they are showing what appears to be bearded Muslim men running away from him.
	He then whips out a gun and he shoots an actor that is wearing a keffiyeh, I hope I'm saying that right, who tries to attack him.
	And that was supposed to be a gun rights video.
	So yeah, he had some controversial views.
	He has said some things even further about other races.
	And so it was very weird that the media was suddenly trying to make us believe that this guy was some sort of a hero.
	And he got the Biden treatment.
	Now, what's even stranger is that after a week of the media trying to lionize someone who is Russian, was in a Russian prison, really doesn't have any significance for me.
	I didn't get their insistence on trying to show us that, you know, Putin is a monster.
	And then, of course, this narrative fell apart.
	But it's strange when you fast forward to the story of Aaron Bushnell.
	You know, the media isn't consistent, is what I would say, right?
	Their feelings are just never consistent because it's always about narrative.
	If you're wondering who Aaron Bushnell is, I'm assuming you must live under a rock.
	Footage circulated all over the weekend of an active U.S.
	Air Force member who died by setting himself on fire outside of the Israeli embassy.
	I watched this video.
	It is unbelievably graphic.
	It is not every day that an active serviceman self-immolates, and so obviously this has been a huge, understandably huge story for a lot of reasons that we're going to get into.
	But again, we're not going to show you that video in its entirety.
	It's way—it's just too much, I think, emotionally.
	But we will point to this recap that was given on CNN.
	Take a listen.
	We're learning new details today about a deadly protest outside the Israeli embassy in Washington.
	Authorities identified Aaron Bushnell as the person who, on Sunday, set himself on fire.
	The 25-year-old was an active duty member of the U.S.
	Air Force.
	CNN's Gabe Cohen joins us now with the details.
	And Gabe, this is something that he did in protest.
	Yeah, that's correct.
	And we're learning much more about this 25-year-old active-duty airman, Aaron Bushnell, as you mentioned.
	He's from San Antonio, Texas, and he live-streamed his actions on Sunday in broad daylight on the streets of D.C.
	outside the Israeli embassy.
	We are not going to show that video.
	It is extremely graphic and disturbing.
	I have watched the video.
	I can tell you at the beginning, at the start of it, you can see Bushnell walking up to the embassy on the street in his military fatigues.
	He's speaking calmly to the camera.
	I want to read a portion of what he says.
	He said, quote, I will no longer be complicit in genocide.
	I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest.
	But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all.
	This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.
	He then goes on to pour some sort of accelerant, it looks like, on his head out of a water bottle he was carrying.
	And then he lights himself on fire, Boris.
	And as the flames engulf him, you can hear him yelling, free Palestine, free Palestine, again and again, until finally he collapses.
	And that is when officers, you can see them race in, one of them with a fire extinguisher in their hands, trying to put out the flames.
	But it takes time and As we have learned, Bushnell died in the hospital at some point later on.
	And look, it really speaks to the tensions that are continuing to escalate around the war in Gaza, not just across the world, but here in the United States.
	We saw a similar incident in December when someone self-immolated, lit themselves on fire outside of the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.
	But this feels different.
	This is an active duty member of the military burning himself to death on the streets of the nation's capital.
	So, obviously, you can see why the reaction to this, which already, it would have been a huge story anyways, and it's now even bigger because just as that CNN reporter, or whoever that was we just listened to, stipulates, it's, anytime you talk about Israel and Palestine, forget it.
	I mean, just forget it.
	There's nothing right you can say.
	There's just absolutely nothing right you can say.
	And so an active duty serviceman making a statement, calling something a genocide, and
	then ending his life after that has people either furious or saying that he is a hero.
	It's a very big divide.
	There are people that have lionized him and saying this is an act of heroism because he
	is doing something that is so brave.
	And then you have people that are on the perishable side who are saying this is not that.
	Basically he's pro Hamas and what he is doing is despicable and it's wrong and all of the
	things.
	So what I will do is I will point to this article that was published in the New York
	Post.
	I thought this was really fair because I think it speaks to who they obviously did an investigation.
	The question that they're asking at the top of this is who was Aaron Bushnell.
	This was published, by the way, for reference yesterday.
	And what I like about this article is it gives you all of the information and it seems pretty
	evenly split without all of the extra rhetoric.
	And what they do is they show you that he grew up in a household loved by his family.
	They talk about his family and how they are a normal middle class family, a classic Cape
	Cod town in Massachusetts family.
	They talk to people in the community and everyone was very sad by his loss.
	And it's very clear that he was well liked.
	It also says that at the time of his death, Bushnell was working as a DevOps, a software
	development and operations engineer, a tech guy who was presumably acting as a go between
	for the two areas.
	His job profile says he had cyber security training.
	It talks about the fact that he graduated at the top of his class, and I just appreciate that there was no slant here, right?
	They were not trying to demonize him.
	They were not trying to lionize him, but they were sharing all of the facts.
	It talked about the fact that he grew up in a very religious family, and they also, in case you are hearing this about him being an anarchist, they were very honest about where those rumors are coming from, and it's the fact that he liked On Facebook, two Ohio-based anarchist groups, one called Burning River Anarchist Collective and Mutual Aid Street Solidarity.
	He gave a thumbs-up to those two groups, which they are describing as anarchist.
	I have not looked into those two groups, but again, I'm going to provide a link to this article on the New York Post, because a lot of information comes out following an event like this, and sometimes you just need clarity.
	So having these two likes there is the reason that people are saying that he was an anarchist.
	But in my view, he didn't die hurting anybody else but himself.
	And so I just look at this, and I think it's really sad.
	I was watching the videos of a lot of military men, a lot of people who have served men and women, watching a lot of their commentary, and they were Hurt by the fact that somebody who has served this country could be just so easily demonized in the media, I think especially after they were falling over themselves to lionize somebody like Alexei Navalny.
	It, you know, it just sends a message, and I wanted to be conscious of that.
	At the end of the day, like I said, this individual, Aaron Bushnell, did not hurt any person but himself, right?
	So whether you agree with what he says or whether you don't agree with what he says, I think it's important to note that what we observed in a very tragic way was a 25-year-old young man who was loved by the people, his colleagues, his family, and people that he grew up with who committed suicide.
	I will never in my life as a Christian say that suicide is aspirational or heroic because my faith does not allow me to believe that.
	It simply does not allow me to believe that.
	I think also, as I have said on this show, it is When you do something like that, and I'm being someone that has had experience with, you know, people threatening suicide, things of that nature, what it does to the people that surround you, what it will do to his family having watched that clip and having that seared into their memory, on top of that having lost their son,
	You know, that is why I think that suicide can be so selfish, because you don't think about the people that you've left behind, right?
	So to him, he did this because he thought there was an issue that was worth dying over, to bring Eyes, too, right?
	So that people talk about this more.
	He thought it was worth dying.
	But what about his family?
	And so yesterday on my Twitter, I just wanted to remind people of that, that his family is going through a tremendously tragic time.
	And also, there are so many people that have served our country, and I will never not want to tell them that we see their hurts.
	The rates of suicide amongst veterans is something that we do not talk about enough.
	There are so many of them who are suffering mentally, who have so much mental anguish.
	And we don't do enough for them, right?
	We're funding people that are coming over the country, we're giving them debit cards, and we do nothing for the people that serve our country.
	They are just so routinely dismissed.
	We don't even care about what they're going through, what burdens they are carrying.
	And so I hope that what comes out of this, rather than The instant, which is just going to be people demonizing him or lionizing him because you have to pick a side and whatever side it is, you better stick to it and stick to your guns.
	It's just a larger discussion about how many people who serve this country are suffering and how many of them, whether it's over, you know, what they perceive to be a grave injustice or it's over what they have seen overseas, the mental anguish that people that serve our country go through is worth discussing.
	And so, of course, my heart goes out to his family, and that's where I would like to leave this.
	And I know that even saying that, there will be headlines written about me.
	I don't know if they're gonna say that I'm a Zionist or pro-Hamas, but it's gonna be out there.
	So just get ready, guys.

	All right guys, we are somehow already out of time, but it doesn't matter.
	I'm still gonna read some of your comments.
	Yesterday, I did a whole live on Instagram talking about the birth control industry because it wasn't enough for me just to talk about it on a show, and women have been so receptive to it, and I hope it is leading to a mass awakening.
	Here are a few comments to that effect.
	This person writes, I have known about Margaret Sanger since I was 16.
	I can't tell you how disheartening it has been that almost every single pro-choice black woman I have met had never heard of her.
	Another tidbit, Bill Gates' father also served on the board of Planned Parenthood, so his ideas on overpopulation and eugenics shouldn't surprise anyone.
	Yes, I could talk about the Gates family and how they were always involved with experimenting on African children.
	You are correct that Robert Gates This is why, you know, we laugh and we should laugh at Google AI, but ultimately what they're trying to do is create a software and an AI tool that will lie about history, modify history slowly in the way that Wikipedia does.
	Makes you think you're learning something, but actually they're leaving off big portions and they're slowly editing it in the process so that future generations just won't remember what the truth ever was because they weren't there, and also they're not even able to read.
	That's going to be the ultimate goal, which is why 40% of students in America right now can't pass a basic literacy exam.
	The next comment is, as a woman who has naturally lost three children, I could not imagine killing any of my children at any stage of pregnancy.
	Leave an unborn child alone.
	When does this stop?
	Next they will claim a mother not wanting their child after birth is able to eliminate an innocent child under her care.
	Oh, hell no.
	Leave children alone.
	It is, unfortunately, a slippery slope, and people that say that the slippery slope argument is not real just simply have not been paying attention.
	It is very real, and you are correct.
	Just seeing the way that women have turned into robots that look in their eye as they, like, demand, you know, the right to this, the right to that, and it haunts me when I see that stuff.
	I just go, these women are haunted by the ghosts of the past who were evil.
	And Margaret Sanger is one such woman who was undoubtedly evil, and you don't learn
	the truth about her for a reason.
	Lastly, Dustin Arnold writes, I know so many women that chose abortion, and the cost to
	their mental health is devastating in almost every case.
	Please and thank you for educating and informing the public about this social epidemic.
	Yes, I always say that when it comes to the pro-life, pro-choice argument, I think conservatives
	get it wrong because they're too nasty and they're not understanding to women that have
	made the choice to have an abortion.
	They didn't do this because they wanted to kill a child.
	So when you call them baby murderers, it's not helpful.
	A lot of women do it because they've been brainwashed.
	You put them into a mental prison and feed them garbage every single day in the school system intentionally, and they come out With these ideas and these principles that are actually them defying their instincts.
	And then if they get an abortion, why would they want to call themselves or think that they murdered someone?
	Of course, they're going to naturally then defend what they did.
	But if you were more welcoming and more understanding, and if you told a person that was pro-choice that they can change their mind and they can be pro-life, I think that you would make much more of a difference.
	Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, that is all the time that we have for today.
