Summary

Moral pseudo-sophisticates argue that the more evil the enemy, the more the West ought to capitulate; Muslim nations refuse to help civilians in Gaza; and the Republicans still can’t pick a Speaker of the House.   International Fellowship of Christians & Jews: http://IFCJ.org   Friends of Israel Defense Forces (FIDF): http://FIDF.org   Israel Rescue: http://IsraelRescue.org   American Friends of Magen David Adom: http://Afmda.org   The Ari Fuld Project: http://AriFuld.org   Click here to join the member exclusive portion of my show: https://utm.io/ueSEj   Ep.1829    - - -    DailyWire+:   Watch Episodes 1-8 of Convicting a Murderer here: https://bit.ly/3RbWBPL   Become a DailyWire+ member to gain access to movies, shows, documentaries, and more: https://bit.ly/3lfVtwK   Get your Ben Shapiro merch here: https://bit.ly/3TAu2cw    - - -    Today’s Sponsors:     ExpressVPN - Get 3 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/ben   PureTalk - Switch to PureTalk and get 50% off your first month! https://www.puretalkusa.com/landing/shapiro    Boll & Branch - Get 20% off your order with promo code Shapiro at https://www.bollandbranch.com/   Renewal by Andersen - Get your FREE Consultation  Text SHAPIRO to 200-300   My Patriot Supply - Exclusive Discount for my Listeners!  http://www.preparewithBen.com/    Christian Care Ministry - Get a $150 gift card when you join Medi-Share at http://www.medishare.com/Ben    - - -   Socials:   Follow on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3cXUn53   Follow on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3QtuibJ   Follow on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3TTirqd   Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPyBiB Learn more about your ad choices.

Suicide is immoral. It seems strange to have to say that, but there seem to be a lot of people in the West these days who believe that suicide is somehow morally obligatory.

0:08.5

According to these moral geniuses, when a man comes into your house, rapes your wife, murders some of your children, and abducts others, you have some sort of moral obligation to leave him be so long as he hides behind his own family members.

0:19.2

After all, you are morally superior to that man,

0:22.2

and that's what matters. You're feeling that you are not like him. Never mind that you're not

0:27.3

like him. You didn't invade his house or kill him or rape and murder his wife and some of his kids

0:31.5

and kidnap others. Never mind that you're trying to stop him from doing the same thing again and trying

0:36.0

to prevent others from following in his footsteps. If you hurt anyone, he puts in harm's way while you are attempting to stop him, you are like him. Never mind that he'll repeat his actions if he's allowed to escape. Never mind, he's vowed to repeat his actions until you and your family are exterminated. Never mind that kindness to the cruel is cruelty to the kind, that if you let this guy go,

0:55.1

others will follow his example and more innocent people will die. You must ensure that he has access

0:59.6

to electricity and water. You must protect his life in order to prevent harm to the family he

1:04.4

uses as human shields. You must give him every advantage because he is evil. In fact, were he less

1:10.7

evil, were he not to hide behind

1:12.6

his own family members, for example, then you'd have free reign to kill him. But since he is evil,

1:16.7

well, then the only thing to do is throw up your hands and walk away, incentivizing those like him

1:21.0

to pursue his insanely evil tactics. Now, if this sounds idiotic, well, that's because it is. It's moral idiocy of the highest order.

1:29.2

It incentivizes evil. It creates evil. It means that the most evil people will pursue the most

1:34.4

evil tactics, all in order to prevent you from protecting yourself. And yet there are those

1:39.0

who proclaim it from our nation's most sophisticated ivory towers. They would never live by such

1:44.0

rules. They live in gated communities,

1:46.0

far from the consequences of their own foolishness. They never feel the consequences of the perverse

1:50.5

morality they promote. These are the same people who promote defunding the police and open borders

1:54.8

while living in gated communities. But of course, they aren't calling for their own suicide.

1:58.7

They're calling for yours. You are supposed to let in millions of refugees, most of whom are likely to hate American values.
