You must understand that this is a civilizational struggle. This is barbarians versus civilization. It's that simple. You could try to curtail it any way you want. You could try to fasten it. Look, I don't. I am a Christian. When anyone dies, it pains me. When young Gazan kids are being killed, it's terrible. Unfortunately, in war, people die. It is not good.

It is not something that we should celebrate. War is awful. And when I see videos of IDF soldiers that are celebrating when they're bombing buildings, they got to cut that crap out, too. You got to stop it. OK, you shouldn't be celebrating when you're bombing buildings. So both I would say that that. However, the most important component is this. is that it's a civilizational struggle.

I do want to get to the next question, though, and we can dive into that topic even more. I think I've thoroughly talked about it. Matt, what's on your mind?

Happy Friday.

It's a very complicated question, and it's a good question. I'm not even sure that Chauvin wants a pardon at this point because that would actually throw him in a worse prison on the state level. He deserves a federal pardon. Of course he does. George Floyd died of a drug overdose. That's something we've known for quite some time.

You're not allowed to say that out loud, but George Floyd obviously died of a drug overdose. Just look at the original, unedited, non-politically pressured, non-politically motivated Hennepin County medical examiner report. George Floyd was saying, quote, I can't breathe when he was in the back of the police car before anybody laid hands on him. Yes. Yes.

Yes. And he was with two other people and they are both alive today. They don't show you that. And so did Derek Chauvin act perfectly? No, I don't think we've ever made that case, but he does not deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison. Most of this, though, is Minnesota centric, unfortunately, unless there will eventually be a Minnesota governor.

The this he'll probably that will pardon him. He'll probably never get out of prison. But federally, he should be completely and totally pardoned.

No. Well, that's interesting. But no, we do have a we do have a respecting of the state's sovereign rights as long as they're not conflicting with the U.S. Constitution, which it wouldn't be because he's still under state law. And we do have a federalist system there.

And I wouldn't even necessarily even support that because you do, for example, you don't want a Joe Biden president all of a sudden start grabbing illegal aliens, you know, or a future AOC president to start grabbing illegal aliens from, you know, Texas and bringing them to New York so they could run for mayor or some nonsense.

But no, look, to answer your question, Derek Chauvin should be pardoned. I don't think he acted perfectly. He was probably sat on his neck a little too long. But even using the knee brace was trained by the Minnesota Police Department, a fact that was not allowed to be introduced into the court. So what happened to Chauvin was unjust, but we can't destroy our entire system for his sake.
