=== Those Who Don't Fight Evil (02:21) ===

[00:00:00]  I had a thought walking into the radio station, and it goes like this.
[00:00:10]  Those who don't fight evil, fight good.
[00:00:16]  It's really a variation in the thought that I've had all of my life, but what was my old way of putting it?
[00:00:24]  I had a way of putting a similar sentiment.
[00:00:30]  But when I think about it, it is really fascinating about not fighting evil.
[00:00:38]  If you don't think of Hamas as the quintessence of evil monsters, they're monsters.
[00:00:45]  If human beings can be monsters, Hamas is monsters.
[00:00:51]  It is a regime of sadism and cruelty.
[00:00:58]  Of the truly psychopathologic.
[00:01:02]  And if you don't fight them, what you end up doing is fighting the good.
[00:01:07]  You're fighting America, you fight Israel.
[00:01:13]  It's a perverse part of human nature, and I can't quite figure it out.
[00:01:24]  Except that it's a lot easier to fight the good than to fight the bad.
[00:01:28]  That's a big part of it.
[00:01:30]  You're not going to get hurt if you fight, as it were.
[00:01:38]  I don't even mean in violence.
[00:01:39]  Just fight verbally.
[00:01:41]  If you fight America, if you fight Christians, who's going to hurt you?
[00:01:46]  But if you fight Muslim regimes or Muslims...
[00:01:51]  And I'm not speaking about all Muslims.
[00:01:53]  I always have to make that clear for the people who don't wish to listen to what turns out to be morally true.
[00:02:03]  But nobody would do to Islam what is done.

=== Mocking the Mocked (03:30) ===

[00:02:11]  For example, the crucifix in urine, the famous piss Christ, so-called artwork.
[00:02:19]  An act of...
[00:02:21]  which toured the country and was part of exhibitions that got National Institute of Art, or whatever it's called, the NEA, National...
[00:02:32]  What's the government arts grant?
[00:02:37]  NEA? National Endowment for the Arts, yeah.
[00:02:41]  National Endowment for the Arts.
[00:02:43]  A crucifix in urine.
[00:02:46]  Well, what about the LGBTQIA +, mockery of nuns at Dodger Stadium, which the Los Angeles Dodgers honored, honored these people, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
[00:03:02]  You can mock publicly.
[00:03:04]  You can be a baseball team.
[00:03:07]  I loathe the Los Angeles Dodgers, by the way, and I live in Los Angeles.
[00:03:11]  I have come to loathe.
[00:03:13]  The cowards who run that organization.
[00:03:16]  I hope they lose with their gigantic budget.
[00:03:19]  I truly do.
[00:03:20]  I root against them.
[00:03:21]  I root against the Lakers.
[00:03:23]  It is very sad, but I don't choose based on geography.
[00:03:29]  I do if everything's morally neutral, then I'm a local LA fan.
[00:03:35]  That's fine.
[00:03:37]  But otherwise, when...
[00:03:43]  When teams go out of their way to mock my society, why on God's earth would I root for them?
[00:03:51]  I rooted for the Texas Rangers.
[00:03:52]  They were the only ones who didn't cow to the LGBTQIA plus agenda.
[00:04:05]  And they won the World Series.
[00:04:07]  Isn't that something?
[00:04:08]  The one Major League Baseball team.
[00:04:11]  That didn't have an LGBTQIA plus evening.
[00:04:17]  Yes, you can mock Christians.
[00:04:20]  Nothing will happen to you.
[00:04:22]  You mock Muslims.
[00:04:23]  You may die, as many have.
[00:04:27]  Just making a drawing of Muhammad is a death sentence.
[00:04:32]  Salman Rushdie wrote a novel that Khomeini, the first monster to run Iran, When it became an Islamic republic and now has been stabbed.
[00:04:47]  His whole life has been spent under this fatwa.
[00:04:53]  So it takes courage to fight evil.
[00:04:56]  It takes no courage to fight the good.
[00:04:59]  So that's what the left is.
[00:05:01]  The left is, we'll fight good.
[00:05:05]  What's going to happen?
[00:05:06]  Is Israeli going to hurt you?
[00:05:09]  A Jew?
[00:05:13]  Yeah, well-known Jewish violence in America.
[00:05:20]  I got a lot of issues with my fellow Jews, but violence is not one of them.
[00:05:27]  You could truly defund a lot of police departments if the only people in the district were Jewish.
