titled
dear infidels
The trailer alone had 40 million views
So go to prager you
Watch all our documentaries and especially the latest dear infidels
well
Even if you're not in america, I have a lot of listeners and viewers who are not in america
The following is is of I think universal interest
So here's the background story
there is a
Us football again us football is not soccer reminder for the rest of the earth watching this
so
the championship team in america is the kansas city chiefs
and
one of their star players
The kicker for the team
His name is harrison butker
Now it's not what we call a common name
But it doesn't matter. That's his name harrison butker
So he gave a speech he was invited to give the commencement speech
At a catholic college. I think it's called benedictine college
and
He is a religious
serious roman catholic
And he was invited to a serious religious roman catholic college
To give the commencement address to the serious
religious
Catholic graduates. All right, is the picture clear?
And he had the audacity
to actually
advocate catholic doctrine
I'm laughing because when you realize how much he was attacked
For giving a catholic speech to catholic students at a catholic college
It's almost preposterous
I'm not catholic as as
I assume nearly all of you know, i'm i'm a committed religious jew
But uh, it doesn't matter. I'm only mentioning that so you'll understand
I don't have a vested interest in defending him
I just have a commitment to logic
reason and honesty
So he told the graduates among other things i'm paraphrasing
That they that women for for generations now have been told I think why don't he say a a
a a terrible lie or something like that
and
and that is that
Your your real joy in life will come from career
not from uh
Making a family not from getting married having children making a home, etc
and he he said that
Basically, you'll be you'll be happier in most cases
of being a homemaker
by the word homemaker
Is so fascinating because I can't think of a worst thing
That the elites could hear
That somebody advocate
Than they be a homemaker
It is seven degrees lower than ditch digger
It's really it's it's very sad when you think wow, you mean someone who makes a home
Is not respected for doing so
I personally can't think of a more noble idea
I
Make a home
because if you make a home and you
Make a a good marriage and you raise good children
Have you not done an incredible service to society
So at this time each fireside chat, I remind you the rest of the fireside chat
