Dave Landau joins Jemele to discuss Amy Coney Barrett, the new Supreme Court nominee, and the liberal freak outs that have been going on since Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed. Plus, we talk about a conspiracy theory about the Democratic National Committee and why they just don t know shit.
00:00:53.000We'll be talking about RBG's replacement, most likely replacement, Amy Coney Barrett today, as well as going through the top liberal freakouts because we feel like we haven't really sort of hit on this.
00:01:48.000Do you think that the experience with Kavanaugh, do you think it's changed the way, sort of setting the precedent as we're going to be appointing Supreme Court nominations?
00:01:55.000Do you think that, what do you expect to happen?
00:01:58.000Right now, what do you expect to happen with Amy Coney Barrett or, what do you expect to happen there RBG?
00:05:47.000No, it'll go to those less fortunate who can't afford regulation-sized basketball rims.
00:05:56.000The reason that this matters is because the narrative that they had been pushing the entire, I shouldn't say the entire, presidential four years here.
00:06:06.000Really, it's just been the last few months.
00:06:07.000So throughout the four years, they were trying to erode trust in institutions.
00:06:10.000Now, when they say Donald Trump was trying to erode trust in American institutions, see, they see just as valid, for example, the checks and balances of three branches of government, the Supreme Court, the media.
00:06:18.000So in other words, they think that Donald Trump taking aim at CNN or Brian Stelter's reliable sources is just as bad as them talking about fundamentally changing
00:06:27.000the constitutional parameters of government and the Supreme Court.
00:08:02.000And the Founding Fathers foresaw idiots like Don Lemon and Cuomo the Lesser, because they were like, let's make this really hard for somebody to be pissed off and just change the system on a whim, because they're not getting their way.
00:08:11.000Let's make it hard for five-year-olds.
00:08:13.000I don't think they ever foresaw an aging Johnny Mathis, gay black man, talking about how we need to trample on the rights of the minority.
00:08:25.000They foresaw five-year-olds throwing a temper tantrum when they don't get their way, and they said, okay, let's design a system that won't let them be in charge.
00:08:31.000Boy, that man with the citrus fruit name was going to town on the boy with the buggy whip in the outhouse.
00:09:05.000It is by the way this is of course Donald Trump has announced that he is going to he's going to announce his pick on Saturday so he announced that he's making an announcement by the way Anyway, we have another 45 minutes of show today if you have not joined up yet.
00:09:42.000It's very uninteresting to me, Ben Segar.
00:09:43.000You guys can't get enough of it, apparently.
00:09:46.000Really quickly, let's go to CNN, where Jim Sciutto apparently said, give me the high and tight, but only on the sides.
00:09:54.000But the reality is, until we identify a safe and effective vaccine through some of these phase three studies, Why is there a Batman costume behind him?
00:10:05.000He's broadcasting from Don Lemon's closet.
00:10:07.000I don't know if you noticed that multi-pronged swing.
00:12:02.000Alright, before we get to Amy Coney Barrett, and I know a lot of you haven't been, let me ask you this, comment below, before we get to that segment, have you been familiar with, no, not right now there Dave, he has a cue here, he's not exactly sure, have you known anything about Amy Coney Barrett before this?
00:12:17.000But first, we just wanted to sort of clear the palette with a top liberal freakout, who of course we all remember the freakout, this has sort of become old hat, at election, when he was inaugurated here.
00:13:23.000And this is- so now we'll get some more recent ones.
00:13:25.000And sometimes- these ones, a lot of them I thought were actually fake.
00:13:28.000Do you ever get this, Dave, where like you see the reactions now where you're- this has to be a parody, there might be some brilliant Borat-type comedian.
00:13:34.000A couple of the recent ones, but usually by the end you can tell they're psychologically broken.
00:20:29.000Yeah, because women love that, when you're wearing footies, and you're just like, ah, you will see no part of my body other than the weird alien-looking section.
00:22:27.000I think RBG, if she really cared so much—in other words, people are saying now the dying wish, which thank God there's no dying wish clause in the Constitution.
00:22:36.000But, you know, I think that she was being selfish about it.
00:22:39.000If she really didn't want President Trump or someone other than Barack Obama or a Democrat, if she really didn't want someone to appoint before her death, she should have retired.
00:22:48.000She should, but that's not the point she's making.
00:22:49.000No, I know that Sheryl is stupid, but I'm just saying it's a valid point.
00:24:07.000If you're offended at this point, that's on you!
00:24:12.000Sources have been saying that President Trump has already met with Amy Coney Barrett, I believe yesterday at the time of, depending on when you're watching this video.
00:24:18.000To be clear, she's a devout Catholic, she's a conservative, and she has done a lot in her legal career while raising seven children.
00:24:53.000If you ever wanted a more clear depiction of good and evil, like as clear as spy versus spy in the back of a Mad Magazine, here is Feinstein and Barrett.
00:25:50.000I obviously have a problem with a religious litmus test.
00:25:53.000The difference between, hey, are you a devout Catholic or are you devout Christian or Jewish and Muslim, is that the Quran is a politically prescriptive text.
00:26:02.000They're not making an honest woman out of their daughters.
00:26:04.000You have to kill Christians and Jews you have to subject people who do not convert to Dimitri, right?
00:26:09.000There is an actual system of law The Quran is a book of law just as much as it is a book of
00:26:13.000religion or theology But in this case, yeah Feinstein, I mean listen, you also
00:26:18.000have like tons of kids, but in Catholicism, you don't marry them
00:26:22.000Yeah, there's a difference and you even let them go out and select. They're not making an honest woman out of their
00:26:28.000daughter They have daughters on the side. Yes
00:26:32.000Hashtag not all Muslims Specifically what dogma what what dogma are you talking
00:26:38.000Because you're basically just it's like a slur against Catholicism like there's zero chance that she's gonna list
00:28:00.000So that was, they were trying to imply that she could not be a judge because she was a Christian.
00:28:03.000Let me be really clear on kind of what her, for people who don't know some of her policies.
00:28:08.000One is they're already bashing her right now because she supported due process on campuses.
00:28:12.000You know the tribunals that people have for rape?
00:28:15.000Every single one, I don't know if you've followed all these stories, almost every single huge mainstream rape story that got pressed was that UVA, false.
00:28:29.000Jacob Blake sexually assaulted a woman from what we know then violated the currently active warrant and restraining order to go to her house again where he committed sexual assault.
00:28:38.000But let's let bygones be bygones depending on the profile of the person at this point.
00:29:20.000She's going out and everyone just all of a sudden believed her and the guy, his life was ruined.
00:29:24.000And there are still people who might be hiring him for a job interview who think that he's a rapist, even though we know verifiably now that it's not true.
00:29:31.000Just like some people still believe that Brett Kavanaugh was running a train, not on Flossie Ford, some other person who we don't even remember her name at this point.
00:30:04.000By the way, what's really unfortunate with Lena Dunham, I'll tell you what I dislike about her most, is that she claims pretty much every rare condition or disease.
00:30:12.000And I actually have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which you've talked about.
00:30:15.000Your wife was the one who identified it, right?
00:30:16.000And then I went to a doctor and she's just like, I have endometriosis, Ehlers-Danlos, fibromyalgia, diabetes, I'm a fat, you know...
00:30:24.000So there's all these medical conditions that have been... So I have all of them, so I know what it's like.
00:30:30.000One thing that's not on that list of conditions is being an adult, sweetheart.
00:31:42.000Do you think, though, that it's a problem, this is a problem with Supreme Court judges, bringing their inherent biases, and yours being likely anti-youth?
00:31:50.000Yeah, well, I'm not sure it's as much anti-youth as just very rude behavior.
00:31:59.000Right, yeah, party at RBG's this weekend.
00:32:16.000Not only can I tell you what her views are, because I know that a lot of you will agree with that, because naturally she's a more conservative potential Supreme Court justice.
00:32:24.000But I think it's just as important, it's equally important to look at the reasons that people on the other side of the political spectrum are attacking her and those justifications.
00:32:32.000So we talked about how the fact that they're furious that she supports due process, whether you're attending Cornell or not.
00:32:40.000Um, and she also, uh, made this statement.
00:32:43.000If you go read the original article, she said, we should always remember that a legal career is but a means to an end, and that end is building the kingdom of God.
00:32:50.000And to be clear, she said, I would never, uh, obviously, uh, I would never infringe on someone else's beliefs.
00:32:55.000I would never force my beliefs on them.
00:32:57.000But oh my God, you mean that there's someone who wants to be in the highest court in the land who believes there's accountability higher than the seat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
00:35:09.000These are the personal attacks that have happened, because she was a Christian, because she believed that there's a higher kingdom than God, they went after the fact that she was sort of defending due process, but that wasn't necessarily an actual case she was involved with.
00:35:18.000Let's look at the cases with which she was involved and what her views are, particularly, listen, the important ones, as we look at this seat right now, which would sort of break up a divided court, abortion and socialized medicine.
00:35:28.000She's known, of course, for being pro-life, so that's well known, that TikTok girl would freak out.
00:35:34.000And this comes from, I want to make sure that I have this correct, comes from the New York Times, Amy Coney Barrett meets Donald Trump's two main litmus tests.
00:35:40.000She has made it clear that she would invalidate the ACA, Affordable Care Act, very poorly named, and take health care away from millions of people and undermine a woman's reproductive freedom, said Nancy.
00:35:51.000This is so funny just when you read the New York Times, the Affordable Care Act, where premiums deductibles went up on any given year 47%.
00:35:59.000It was just an attempt to redistribute money.
00:36:01.000And by the way, I've known people who really were relatively poor, but not poor enough, and they could get health sharing plans far cheaper than what they could get under the Obamacare market.
00:36:10.000And then they say a woman's reproductive... So Affordable Care Act is health care that has cost Americans double or triple since it was enacted.
00:36:19.000And reproductive freedom means abortion up until and including after birth, according to Governor Blackface himself, Northam.
00:36:26.000Yeah, so both horrible policies and both issues.
00:36:29.000Here's the thing, I'm on board with reproductive freedom.
00:36:47.000She wants to make sure that a law that was a lie, that was fought before the Supreme Court, that the Supreme Court actually had to intervene and adjust to make it pass, right?
00:37:35.000You have a very poor standard of judging the country.
00:37:38.000Do you understand that we are the only country that fought off the world's singular most powerful empire of one century to become the most powerful country the next century and not even wield it?
00:37:49.000Can you imagine if the British Empire, if they had a place like Canada, the biggest land mass?
00:37:56.000Available, rich in natural resources, where all of their population, 100% of their population, live on 10% of the border, and they have no national military of which to speak?
00:38:07.000Let's go through the Ottomans, the Greeks, the Romans, let's go through China, let's go to India, let's go through... Mongolians are annoying, they needed that wall.
00:40:44.000He's much more intimidating than that.
00:40:47.000Amy Barrett also in Cook Co vs. Wolf, she supported Donald Trump's tighter standards for green cards.
00:40:52.000This is something that is driving the left absolutely nuts.
00:40:54.000And again, when we say, okay, we want legal immigrants to be allowed here, and we don't want illegal, listen, you have to, one has to go hand in hand with the other.
00:41:05.000You can't say that we have no illegal immigration and no immigration whatsoever.
00:41:08.000But we're at the point now where, okay, you know what?
00:41:10.000We're mostly full and we only want to bring in the best and the brightest.
00:41:13.000That's what happens when you're in a feeder league versus being the top team in the league, right?
00:41:17.000We get number one draft picks at this point.
00:41:19.000It harms the middle class American more than anybody if you have no standards for legal immigration.
00:41:24.000You just tighten down illegal immigration.
00:41:26.000They say, by the way, as far as legal, just sign the guest book and that's enough.
00:41:33.000Then there was a Second Amendment case, Cantor v. Barr.
00:41:36.000She argued that violent offenders should be stripped of their right to own firearms, that non-violent offenders should still keep their Second Amendment rights.
00:41:46.000I do think that, for example, if someone committed, I don't know if it's a felony, but like tax evasion, they shouldn't lose their right to protect themselves because they probably owe some money to some really bad people.
00:42:31.000Your lawyer was a Barrett and less a Feinstein.
00:42:34.000My last lawyer was just like, just pay for your DUI.
00:42:41.000Yeah, it was all alcohol-related and drug arrests, but I do agree with her.
00:42:49.000I mean, you should get another chance.
00:42:50.000I've turned my life around, and 12 of those arrests were as a juvenile while I was dealing with something very painful at home.
00:42:57.000So there are reasons that people screw up in their lives, and I do think I think that they do deserve that second chance later.
00:43:02.000Well, and I also, um, but I think it's different if you were a gang member, for example, like Tukey Williams, who they were saying, free Tukey Williams, let him out because he wrote a children's book, but he killed four people on three separate occasions and holdups.
00:43:12.000That person shouldn't get their right to own a firearm back or vote on a system of laws that they break.
00:43:17.000And I think is it, I hate to use the word common sense, but it's pretty obvious if someone is a kid who's made some mistakes, had some rough breaks versus someone who has flagrant disregard for the law in a violent fashion.
00:43:28.000Yeah, he did discover the Berenstain Crips, but...
00:44:44.000I think prison should also be punishment.
00:44:47.000Yeah, there's no justice for the family if it's just like Sweden where they go into a cell that's nicer than an Ikea demo with an Xbox and they get reformed and go back into the workforce.
00:44:56.000There's no justice for the family of the people who are killed.
00:45:38.000Yeah, my point is if it's supposed to be reform, which is what prison is supposed to be in this country, then that means that you get another chance.
00:45:46.000I'm not saying let you out, but that means you have a chance to do better with your life.
00:45:50.000Now, with pedophiles, for example, like you said, I say kill them the second they come in.
00:46:59.000There are the rare cases where you do find out years later, like the West Memphis Three and other people that could have been put to death, that there are problems in our system, and just killing people, I think, can have a negative.
00:47:11.000But there are the people who you're like, I watched him eat a baby, let's just kill him.
00:47:16.000There are those people that should be put to death.
00:47:18.000But then you have different, you know, that's the problem is that you have different standards of like, well, they have to be videographic evidence.
00:47:22.000Listen, if you're found guilty, then you are guilty of the crime in this country.
00:47:25.000It's not a perfect system, but it is a system.
00:47:27.000And I want to know what you guys think, actually.
00:47:28.000Do you think the prison should involve a component of punishment and discomfort for their crimes as justice?
00:47:34.000Or do you think that it should be like a lot of European countries where it's only predicated on the idea of reform?
00:49:33.000You know, when people say, oh, it was a bad season, 80,000 people died.
00:49:36.000That's because we have a standardized season, right?
00:49:38.000It's from spring, sorry, from fall to spring.
00:49:41.000I believe it's October to, it's either October to May or October to March or September to April, something like that.
00:49:47.000And I said this before, I said, listen, if you want to know that this is obviously fear-mongering from the media, they're just going to have a never-ending toll long after the flu season.
00:49:56.000Nowhere else with a flu season, which, by the way, at one point would have been banned on YouTube, but now the CDC has admitted that the death rate is far more close to the standard flu than it is to the over 1% that they originally claimed.
00:50:10.000We don't do this with any other seasonal disorder, any other seasonal disease, but they just keep adding to it, even as we go into the next fall.
00:50:26.000That means that Donald Trump has lowered the projected death count by 90% by his actions, because you said 2 million when we first started.
00:50:36.00090% lower than the estimates, so he should be given every award possible.
00:50:40.000And that's everyone who's died with COVID, even if they had cancer, diabetes, and stabbed themselves in the heart like Elliot Smith in a Motel 6.
00:50:48.000Yeah, a guy got shot in the head and died from that, and he also had COVID.
00:50:52.000I think it was Florida, I can't remember where.
00:50:53.000A guy got into a motorcycle accident with three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system, and he happened to have COVID.
00:51:07.000We have to market COVID, market COVID.
00:51:09.000And what is it, 6% of the people didn't have a pre-existing condition?
00:51:13.000And the average was 2.6 conditions for the average COVID death.
00:51:16.000The average age in most states is above life expectancy.
00:51:19.000Let's go to the scientist, the single authority-in-chief who's got no strings to hold him down, Fauci.
00:51:30.000This is another story, and then we're going to go behind the table where I will show Dave Landa the funniest thing that I've ever seen and take your chat, but the CDC did a flip-flop here.
00:51:39.000So this is one thing that really bothers me when people just say, well, trust the experts.
00:53:11.000Well, at this point, any changes they make, they're saying it's because Donald Trump is putting political pressure on them to make, and that the CDC is now an organization that we can't trust.
00:54:12.000What does this tell us about how the administration is handling the pandemic now?
00:54:18.000This is in line with a stream of things we've seen where there seems to be a real battle inside the CDC between the scientists and the political appointees.
00:54:27.000I mean over and over again we've seen the CDC pushing forward or silencing the scientists, accusing them of the message
00:54:38.000that the president wants to be sending, of trying to embarrass him publicly. Okay, all right,
00:54:42.000listen, no, no, no, no, no, I can't, but bullshit, I have to push it back down like swallowing a
00:55:08.000Don't trust any of the other scientific experts.
00:55:10.000First it was trust the Imperial College of London.
00:55:12.000But trust the CDC because It is not tainted with politics, which of course is also untrue, but that's what they told you and now they want you to believe that Donald Trump is basically treating the CDC like his own personal blog spot.
00:55:24.000Well, let's go through this really quickly.
00:55:33.000Hey, don't trust the CDC because right now they actually decided to use a scientific method and realize that they may have been wrong or jumped the gun.
00:55:39.000What else have we had on the flip-flops?
00:56:09.000If you're below the age of 80 and don't have pre-existing conditions, it's like 0.03%.
00:56:13.000People were removed on Facebook, those doctors in California, for expressing exactly the mortality rate that is the newly revised, not even newly now, several months in now, revised mortality rate from the CDC.
00:56:25.000So when actual scientists are out there saying, actually we think that this is the mortality rate, What happens?
00:57:32.000It was politicized by news agencies who wanted to push fear-mongering so that we could have Donald Trump be responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths so that he wouldn't be voted again as President of the United States and put back in office.
00:58:21.000And by the way, don't conduct any of your own science, and don't even actually try and aggregate science from multiple sources, because guess what?
00:58:28.000If, oh my god, if you actually looked at other science aside from the number one, the only science that was accepted on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, what was it?
00:58:54.000Who was the expert at that point, right?
00:58:56.000Was the Imperial College of London, and even Anthony Fauci, saying two million deaths, they said it could be anywhere from at least one percent, they said one, two, and some people are having it as high as four percent.
00:59:25.000The people who said it's closer to the flu, if you were to have it on a stick graph, the truth would be so far over, you would really just think it's a line with a double dot at the end of it.
00:59:34.000And go back and replay one of the videos that we did during the quarantine that we did.
00:59:37.000We said, if you would just protect old people with pre-existing conditions, you would be going further than doing any lockdowns and doing any masking and doing any social distancing.
00:59:47.000I said, just imprison old and sick people!
00:59:50.000Just lock them down for a little while.
00:59:51.000And it is odd, we let Ebola people off of a cruise ship faster.
00:59:55.000And we vilified the, was it Samaritan's Purse?
01:00:00.000Samaritan's Purse who went over there into those countries with Ebola where there was a 50% mortality rate.
01:00:05.000Well, and if you're talking about politicizing, it's very hard to trust anybody once it was the Russia, Kavanaugh, Impeach, and then this thing.
01:00:12.000It just fell so perfectly like dominoes, you're going to make American people distrust it.
01:00:17.000Are you saying that Kavanaugh didn't run trains on unsuspecting women on the weekends?
01:00:35.000We're hearing that Louisville, Kentucky has actually issued a state of emergency because they're about to announce something about the Breonna Taylor case.
01:00:44.000Hey, Reg the Bandit is from remote right now.
01:00:47.000Do we have any new news on this before we leave?
01:00:49.000Louisville, Kentucky is about to actually... Well, I don't know when they're going to announce, but they've actually already declared a state of emergency.
01:00:55.000People are taking stuff out of their office buildings downtown.
01:00:58.000There's people rioting at the drop of a hat.
01:00:59.000Right, because they're going to make an announcement, people have to declare a state of emergency, because people are going to lose their minds.
01:01:04.000Hey, how much do you want to bet that it doesn't matter what the announcement is?
01:01:44.000We had a few questions, Dave, about capital punishment, if you trust the science, and what you think is going to be happening going forward with the Supreme Court.
01:01:50.000We also have your chat to read, and the funniest thing I've ever seen.
01:01:53.000I want to see what Dave Landau thinks.
01:01:55.000Right now, those who are Mug Club only, no compliments.
01:02:00.000I've been trying to do the compliment sandwich.
