It's always, I guess, common nature.
Human nature.
Common nature.
What does that mean?
It's normal.
It's normal for us, whenever we're discussing any situation, to ask why.
And why is one of the most stupid questions anybody can ever ask.
It's how you lose an argument every time.
By working in why.
Or by allowing yourself to be put into the position where you're going to be answering why.
Why is this?
Why is there this movement on the part of folks to infiltrate schools with a variety of demented and distorted instructional series?
Why?
Why do they do this?
Why do forces in the shadow government want to destroy the family and institution?
Why?
Why?
I don't care why.
Why is one of those irrelevant issues that you will lose the argument every time if you find yourself being sucked into why.
I'll explain why, not to ask why, but first, a word from our sponsor.

Okay, look.
It's common knowledge.
It's common knowledge to that...
I guess there's this interest that we have in why things happen.
Why?
I got into the most ridiculous conversation recently with somebody who was talking about God.
Not that that's crazy, but do I believe there's a God?
Because after all, why?
Why are we here?
Why?
With a little bit of what, but why?
Why were we put on this?
I don't even want to get into the why because we're going to miss the point.
You see, this ridiculous question of why, by the way, it's a great question that kids ask all the time.
Kids love to ask, why?
Why?
It's good, but you see what it does?
It throws you off.
Why?
Because I said so.
Clean up your room.
Why?
Because I'm your father.
You know, that kind of thing.
But let's go through a couple of things which happened recently.
First of all, every now and then somebody will come up with the notion of wanting to pursue a hate crime.
And they love this.
The motivation for something.
If you can go after the motivation and to find out why somebody did something, why somebody was responsible for a particular behavior, why they did it.
Then you can go after the animus, you can go after the thought, and you can take an ordinary crime and make it a hate crime and elevate it by virtue of penalizing people for the motivation as to why they did it and why is irrelevant.
The only issue you should want to know is, did you intend to do this?
That's all you care about.
I don't care why you did something.
I don't care why, because here's the problem.
If I, as a prosecutor, get into why, then the defense comes up with, well, that's not why, and then we missed the point of the crime.
Give you a perfect example.
And please bear with me this analogy, I think it makes sense.
There was a case a while back of a person who, on a regular basis, would attack and rob gay folks who met at this particular spot.
And the prosecution, obviously, as you can imagine, charged this fellow with hate crime.
Why?
Because they were gay.
So during the course of this, during the course of this case, and the prosecutors thought, oh, I've got this nailed, I've got this nailed as to why he did it.
Because obviously, when you attack gay people repeatedly, and you say, I attack...
Gay people.
I target gay people.
It's got to be hate, right?
Because that's the why part of it.
Well, it turns out during trial, he said, well, the reason why is not because I hate them.
Not because I hate gay people.
Not because of any kind of animus on my part.
No, no, that's not it.
I did it because of the fact that I thought they would be weaker.
I thought they wouldn't be able to fight back as much.
I thought that they Would be less likely to resist.
That's why.
And that completely confounds and destroys the notion of the hate crime.
The notion of the hate crime was destroyed.
It was destroyed because they didn't prove the right why.
They just assumed it.
Another example.
There was a case here in New York years ago.
There was a fellow who was in a McDonald's or something and he was yelling using the F. Pejorative for gay people.
And they said, aha!
It was a fight, so aha!
It was a hate crime.
It was a hate crime, invariably, because you used this pejorative.
So they proceeded with the hate crime.
During the course of the trial, again, as you can imagine, this fellow said, I didn't use it because I hate these people for being gay.
I'm gay myself, he said.
I use this as an affectation.
You know how some people will use the N-word?
African Americans will use the N-word?
Certainly not as a pejorative.
Well, that's what this was.
Again, because of this stupidity of why did you take a case you had a perfectly good robbery in both instances, or aggravated assault, or whatever it was, and you made it complicated by adding this stupidity called a hate crime.
Why?
Why did you do it?
What's the point?
Now, when you are discussing something, you being a good citizen, and you're saying, we have to do something about the shadow government, and we have to do something about whether it's Klaus Schwab or Soros or whatever, and you say, for example, Soros is funding a lot of prosecutors around the country to...
To basically invert the notion of criminal justice and to do a variety of things which are horrible and blah blah blah blah blah and you have to stop doing it.
You have to stop Soros and others and then they say, why?
Why is he doing this?
Why does he want to put prosecutors in who want to Let the bad guys go.
Who want to dilute criminal justice laws.
Who want to prosecute the wrong people.
Why?
Don't answer why.
Because I've heard this before and I've done it.
Well, because he wants to obviously dilute the fundamental structures and the foundation of our country.
Why?
Well, obviously because he wants to Undermine our ability to resist criminal institution.
And then somebody says, well, how do you know he wants to do that?
And where did you read this?
And how do you know this?
I never heard of it.
And then, now you're off into that tack about why that you answered.
What you do is you say, I don't know why.
Why is irrelevant?
We don't care why.
Why?
There is a move now, and you have to be blind not to see this, for there to be this concerted effort, and I don't know why, to have drag shows, drag queens, whatever it is, being portrayed, being exhibited, being advanced, in front of children at public libraries and the like.
Okay, here comes the question.
Why?
Why is this?
Why do they want to do this?
Why?
Okay?
You're going to come back with, invariably, an answer.
Well, because it's kind of the same thing.
It's a systematic and systematized and targeted destruction of all that is fundamentally American.
Well, where did you read that?
And then you're off describing and explaining why.
Which nobody ever said.
Why?
There is no why.
We love the etiology, the teleology, the etymology, the derivation, what causes something.
Why?
I have a friend of mine who's a physician.
And kind of, not a joke, but a classic statement is, is the cause of cancer genetic?
Is it environmental?
Or is it biochemical?
And the answer is yes!
It's a variety of things.
Who cares why?
I mean, it's important maybe for you to stop certain behaviors to prevent that particular avenue.
If you're standing at an emergency room and all of a sudden an ambulance pulls up and there's somebody in the throes of a massive heart attack, massive MI, massive.
And you and I were to say, as attending physicians, instead of, let's take him to the ICU or whatever it is, start his heart again, you and I start discussing why.
I wonder why this happened.
Well, he looks overweight.
I wonder if he probably has a history of heart problems, and I would venture to say maybe diet and lifestyle pose a...
A most certain...
Meanwhile, the guy's dead.
Why is unimportant?
This origins of things.
What led somebody to do it?
Serial killers.
Why?
Good luck!
Who knows why?
Do you think somebody's going to give you an answer that makes sense?
Do you think it's going to do?
Does it help anything?
Not really.
Maybe if you knew why.
Maybe if it was something very simple like, well, he had a zinc deficiency and maybe we can correct zinc deficiencies to try to lower serial killing.
But the same thing goes with all of the problems.
Agenda 21, Agenda 2030.
Agenda 2030.
Well, some whys are obvious.
The expanse of the social credit system, I think, is pretty obvious for control and all that kind of stuff.
But other than that, we love to control the ability to speak freely.
Why is it then that why?
Why?
I hate why.
Why is irrelevant.
Don't fall for this.
Don't put yourself in the position where you have to stop your presentation.
You know, when we tell our kids, I want you to be careful because there are people out there who are bad.
And they might want to do bad things to kids like you.
Why?
Doesn't matter why.
Just listen to what I'm saying.
Why is the worst?
It's terrible.
And we love sometimes being who we are, being...
We love to answer questions.
We love to say, I know people say, well, obviously it's the Federal Reserve.
It's the Federal Reserve.
It's fractional reserve banking.
Well, I think, why?
Well, it's obvious.
It's Biden.
It's the woke, radical left.
And we just say these things.
We just use these explanations.
That makes sense among our own kind.
You know, we love to talk in our own particular parlance to show other people that we're hip, that we know what we're talking about, that we're using the right language.
Just like other people will use the word conspiracy theory because that's what they're conversing with and that's the way that they talk to other people.
I've done it before too.
That's a conspiracy theory.
Well, why is that?
What do you mean, why?
Well, why do you say it's a conspiracy theory?
This is a version of the why thing.
Who's conspiring?
Who's conspiring or confederating or agreeing?
Am I conspiring?
Who's conspiring?
No, you're confusing a conspiracy theory with just somebody hiding the truth.
That's what you're doing.
And I get them all the time.
When you say something, say it.
Don't worry about why.
Sometimes we get a who.
It's okay to say George Soros is directly responsible for promoting prosecutors.
He said so.
That's okay.
I'll give you that one.
The UN, the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, whoever, that may be okay too, if that's true.
If you're trying to convince people, if you're trying to convince people, Never go off into collateral matters, collateral issues.
And if you say why, I don't know, ask them.
Let me tell you another way why sometimes works.
Sometimes you might say something as follows.
You might have a beef with the official story of the Kennedy assassination.
And...
You might say something.
You might say, well, the reason why I think it is wrong is because of such and such.
And then they might say, well, wait a minute.
Well, then who did it then?
Well, they'll confound or rebut your incredulity with a question.
You always respond, sorry, ask them.
It's not my story.
You tell me.
I'm not buying it.
It's not my story.
You're asking the wrong person.
Ask them.
One of the keys to successfully arguing against opponents, numbskulls, and idiots that we have to deal with on a regular basis is to keep the argument very simple and let them do all the heavy lifting.
Remember that.
Thank you, my friend.
