00:00:21.000We get another round of this routine, because the New York Times is doing amazing journalistic work in uncovering another story about Brett Kavanaugh's penis.
00:00:31.000First, let's talk about the fact that there seems to be an awful lot of economic insecurity, and a lot of that economic insecurity is driven by the fact that we don't know what the central banks are going to do.
00:00:39.000Sometimes you have the central banks talking about lowering interest rates.
00:00:42.000Sometimes you have them talking about increasing interest rates.
00:00:44.000And all of that is having an impact on the value of the dollar and the value of other currencies.
00:00:49.000One of the ways that you can hedge against central bank manipulation of currency is to actually invest in crypto or blockchain currencies.
00:00:56.000Last week, China devalued its currency and markets tanked.
00:00:58.000One consequence was that Bitcoin prices rose.
00:01:01.000It's time to seriously consider including some crypto in your portfolio.

00:01:47.000Okay, so the big story of the day is that the New York Times has a brand new breaking allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, you know, the Supreme Court Justice.
00:01:55.000And we just did this, like, a year ago.
00:01:57.000A year ago, as you recall, then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh was on his way to confirmation on the Supreme Court when suddenly there was an allegation brought forward by Dianne Feinstein, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and it was leaked out and the allegation was from Christine Blasey Ford that Brett Kavanaugh had allegedly held her down and tried to rape her back when he was 17 years old.
00:02:17.000There was no collaborative, there was no any sort of evidence.
00:02:30.000This turned into a massive, massive story.
00:02:32.000And then the media started trying to dig up other allegations of sexual impropriety by Brett Kavanaugh, all from when he was very young.
00:02:39.000Now, Brett Kavanaugh is nearing 60s in his mid-50s.
00:02:42.000All of this stuff supposedly happened back when he was in high school or at Yale.
00:02:46.000None of the allegations were corroborated, none of them were backed up, and none of them provided any material evidence for the allegations.
00:02:52.000Well, now the New York Times is back because there's a brand new book out about Brett Kavanaugh.
00:02:57.000It's called The Education of Brett Kavanaugh, an Investigation from Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, who are reporters with the Times and authors of that book.
00:03:05.000Well, they had a piece in the New York Times In their news analysis section.
00:03:09.000So not in their news section, because that would actually require some news.
00:03:13.000Their news analysis section, which allows them to basically pass off non-news as an op-ed.
00:03:20.000And they bring forward a new allegation.
00:03:22.000Now the problem is the allegation is exceedingly vague.
00:03:25.000Well, let me read you what they have to say in the New York Times.
00:03:27.000First of all, this story is framed not in terms of news about another allegation against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:03:32.000Instead, it is framed as a story of victimhood about Deborah Ramirez.
00:03:48.000It was originally reported by the New Yorker, by Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer.
00:03:51.000And the story has not only no corroboration, it has no supporting evidence whatsoever.
00:03:56.000There are a bunch of questions about that original story.
00:03:58.000For example, in the story itself, it says the New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was even present at the party where Ramirez claimed he was.
00:04:07.000The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident.
00:04:11.000Many did not respond to interview requests.
00:04:13.000Others declined to comment or said they did not attend or remember the party.
00:04:17.000The New York Times also could not find a single witness to back up her allegations.
00:04:21.000The Times, quote, had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story and could find no one with first-hand knowledge.
00:04:29.000In the New Yorker story, Farrell and Mayer provided a quote from one of the main men named by Ramirez as somebody who was apparently there.
00:04:37.000One of the male classmates who Ramirez said Egdon Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party.
00:04:40.000I don't think Brett would flash himself to Debbie or anyone for that matter.
00:04:44.000Asked why he thought Ramirez was making the allegation, he responded, I have no idea.
00:04:47.000A third person Ramirez claims is at the party says she was not there for the alleged incident.
00:04:53.000Ramirez apparently contacted her former classmates asking about the incident, and she admitted that she wasn't even sure that Kavanaugh was the male who exposed himself.
00:05:00.000Ramirez, quote, herself contacted former Yale classmates, asking if they recalled the incident, and told some of them she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.
00:05:10.000Buried 1,700 words into the original New Yorker piece, the report says, a former friend, who says she was best friends with Ramirez, says Ramirez never mentioned the story.
00:05:19.000The former friend who was married to the male classmate alleged to be involved and who signed the statement said of Ramirez, This is a woman I was best friends with.
00:05:24.000We shared intimate details of our lives.
00:05:26.000I was never told this story by her or by anyone else.
00:05:31.000Ramirez wasn't even sure her memory was corrected.
00:05:35.000This was the most damning part of that original New Yorker story.
00:05:38.000The outlet reported, quote, in her initial conversations with the New Yorker, Ramirez was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh's role in the alleged incident with certainty.
00:05:46.000After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said she felt confident enough of her recollections to say she remembers Kavanaugh.
00:05:55.000Okay, if you have to take six days to assess your memories and consult with your attorney, I'm gonna say you don't have the requisite level of certainty to make an allegation like that.
00:06:03.000I said this at the time, everybody else said this at the time, because of course, that is ridiculous.
00:06:07.000Okay, if you're making an allegation that somebody at a party came up to you, exposed themselves, thrust their penis in your face, pretty good shot you're gonna remember who that person was.
00:06:16.000Right, but apparently, and Brett Kavanaugh is apparently fairly well known on campus.
00:06:21.000But Ramirez wasn't even clear in her own mind, and then she talked with her attorney, and after six days of militating about it, finally she came out with the story.
00:06:27.000Okay, so that is all the backdrop to today's report in the New York Times by Pogrebin and Kelly, who are trying to sell this book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh.
00:06:35.000And again, this thing is painted not as a new revelation about Brett Kavanaugh, it is painted instead as Ramirez, she just was not socially accepted the way that Brett Kavanaugh was.
00:06:46.000As though it is some sort of sin to be from an upper-class or upper-middle-class background and go to Yale, as opposed to being from a poorer background and going to Yale.
00:06:53.000Last I checked, that was not the allegation against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:06:56.000Nor is that a disqualifying allegation for the Supreme Court.
00:06:58.000If we ruled out everyone who grew up fairly wealthy in the United States from sitting on a federal court, you can wipe out two-thirds of the federal bench.
00:07:05.000So here's what the New York Times story says.
00:07:07.000Deborah Ramirez had the grades to go to Yale in 1983, but she wasn't prepared for what she'd find there.
00:07:12.000A top student in southwestern Connecticut, she studied hard but socialized little.
00:07:15.000She was raised Catholic and had a sheltered upbringing.
00:07:18.000In the summers, she worked at Carvel, dishing ice cream, commuting in the $500 car she'd bought with babysitting earnings.
00:07:24.000At Yale, she encountered students from more worldly backgrounds.
00:07:27.000First of all, It doesn't sound like she was impoverished, right?
00:07:29.000I mean, she apparently was raised in southwestern Connecticut, not known for being the poorest area in America.
00:07:36.000She worked at Carvel, dishing ice cream.
00:07:38.000She was able to buy a car with babysitting earnings, in any case.
00:07:41.000That's not to say that her background is rich, but this doesn't sound like somebody who was growing up in the inner city.
00:07:47.000The New York Times says at Yale she encountered students from more worldly backgrounds.
00:07:51.000Many were affluent and had attended elite private high schools.
00:07:54.000They also had experience with drinking and sexual behavior, and Ms.
00:07:57.000Ramirez, who had not intended to be intimate with a man until her wedding night, laughed.
00:08:01.000During the winter of her freshman year, a drunken dormitory party unsettled her deeply.
00:08:05.000She and some classmates had been drinking heavily when, she says, a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and thrust his penis at her, prompting her to swat it away and inadvertently touch it.
00:08:15.000Some of the onlookers, who had been passing around a fake penis earlier in the evening, laughed.
00:08:22.000It was the nadir of her first year, when she often felt insufficiently rich, experienced, or savvy to mingle with her more privileged classmates.
00:08:31.000Number one, she was apparently voluntarily at a drunken dormitory party.
00:08:34.000That would not excuse sexual assault in any case.
00:08:36.000But if the idea here is that Brett Kavanaugh and his colleagues corrupted Ramirez, I'm not seeing the evidence of that because, again, putting aside the alleged incident, she was at a dormitory party heavily drinking, according to her own admission, before she met Kavanaugh.
00:08:51.000The allegation here is reported with basically no countervailing evidence, right?
00:08:57.000She and some classmates have been drinking heavily when she says a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh, etc, etc.
00:09:01.000Now, I just pointed out to you all of the problems with her story.
00:09:05.000They were originally mentioned at the time.
00:09:07.000So there's nothing new in the story so far, but this is now being presented as a case of fact.
00:09:13.000I had gone through high school, I'm the good girl, and now in one evening it was all ripped away, she said in an interview earlier this year at her Boulder, Colorado home.
00:09:20.000By preying upon her in this way, she added, Mr. Kavanaugh and his friends made it clear, I'm not smart.
00:09:25.000Okay, now, again, she took six days to figure out whether it was Kavanaugh.
00:09:31.000There's no corroborating witnesses, none, at this apparently well-attended dorm party, where everybody's drunk.
00:09:37.000Kavanaugh denies the claims, obviously.
00:09:40.000Ramirez's story would seem far less damaging to Kavanaugh's reputation than those of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who claimed that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her, and tried to remove her clothes while covering her mouth.
00:09:50.000But while we found Dr. Ford's allegations credible during a 10-month investigation, Ms.
00:09:54.000Ramirez's story could be more fully corroborated.
00:09:57.000Ramirez's mother, heard about the Yale incident long before Kavanaugh was a federal judge.
00:10:02.000Two of those people were classmates who learned of it just days after the party occurred, suggesting it was discussed among students at the time.
00:10:07.000Okay, but none of those people came forward to the New Yorker to say, indisputably, that Kavanaugh did it, or that she had said that Kavanaugh did it, or who the person was who did this thing.
00:10:17.000And then we get to the new allegation.
00:10:23.000Quote, Apparently, this is the most well-trafficked Apparently, this is the most well-trafficked penis in the history of Yale.
00:10:43.000And not only is Kavanaugh thrusting it in people's faces, according to these allegations, now his friends are apparently grabbing his junk and pushing them into other people's hands.
00:10:50.000So, basically, it's a FedEx package at this point.
00:10:53.000Mr. Steyer, who runs a non-profit organization in Washington, notified senators and the FBI about this account, but the FBI did not investigate, and Steyer has declined to discuss it publicly.
00:11:03.000Well, if he declines to offer any details that are worth investigating, then what the hell is this supposed to mean?
00:11:10.000Okay, so the original story does not include the following line.
00:11:13.000Okay, the original story said, We corroborated the story with two officials who have communicated with Mr. Steyer.
00:11:18.000The female student declined to be interviewed.
00:11:20.000That is where the sentence originally ended.
00:11:22.000Okay, that is where the sentence originally ended.
00:11:25.000Then, much later, the New York Times has to come forward with a correction.
00:11:30.000And their correction says, quote, Friends say she does not recall the episode.
00:11:35.000Now it seems to me that, number one, if you're Ramirez and somebody thrust their penis in your face at a party and it was devastating, you would remember who the person was.
00:11:45.000But beyond that, and that somebody else at the party could corroborate it, but beyond that, the female student in this story says she does not remember the incident.
00:11:55.000And the New York Times didn't originally include that.
00:11:59.000That's a pretty major revision, right?
00:12:01.000The update included the significant detail that several friends of the alleged victim said she did not recall the purported sexual assault in question at all.
00:12:09.000The Times also stated for the first time that the alleged victim refused to be interviewed and has made no comment about the episode.
00:12:19.000They added an editor's note to this story, which basically destroys the entire story.
00:12:22.000It says, an earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party.
00:12:35.000The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed, and friends say she does not recall the incident.
00:12:41.000That information has been added to the article.
00:12:52.000If I say to you, there's an allegation that you murdered someone, and then it also says in the book that the supposed murder victim is walking around Fifth Avenue, That might be relevant.
00:13:02.000Leaving out the actual relevant part of the story would be a pretty massive piece of botchery by the New York Times.
00:13:48.000Or at the very least, there was nothing that we could corroborate.
00:13:50.000So maybe the story was true, but if we can't corroborate in any way, there is this idea of due process and innocence until proven guilty.
00:13:56.000If I allege that you rape puppies in your backyard and offer no supporting details, you should probably take that with a grain of salt.
00:14:03.000Okay, now we have Deborah Ramirez, whose story originally was full of holes.
00:14:06.000And the New York Times comes forward with this report attempting to shore up the story, not by referring to Ramirez's story, but by referring to a secondary incident, to an unnamed female who says she doesn't remember the incident, as reported by a man who says he reported it to the FBI, but won't talk about it publicly or give any serious details.
00:14:24.000How are we supposed to take all that seriously?
00:14:26.000And the answer is, you're not supposed to take it seriously.
00:14:28.000You're just supposed to go along with the Democratic line that Brett Kavanaugh is actually a rapist and a ritual serial assaulter.
00:14:36.000And that if you want him on the Supreme Court, or you believe that there's no evidence to oust him from the Supreme Court, it's because you're a sexist.
00:14:41.000If Democrats want to play this game, it did not go well for them the first time.
00:14:53.000First, You may be walking around right now listening to this show on a pair of earbuds and maybe those earbuds are old-fashioned and they have the wires or they have the stems.
00:15:01.000Maybe they cost you too much money and you're looking for a second pair of earbuds that you're not going to lose and that look good and sound good.
00:15:06.000Well this is where Raycon wireless earbuds come in.

00:16:13.000They're never going to get an impeachment of Kavanaugh.
00:16:15.000It's a thing that is not going to happen.
00:16:17.000But Democrats are trying to provide the false hope to their constituents that if elected, they will impeach Kavanaugh, replace him with somebody on the left, and fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat.
00:16:26.000And they're trying to reshift the majority on the Supreme Court in a left-leaning direction, basically by railroading Kavanaugh on the basis of non-evidence.
00:16:36.000I will point out one quick thing here.
00:16:37.000We've had a bevy of public figures in recent years who have had their genitalia described on national television by people who allege sexual assault.
00:16:45.000Stormy Daniels famously described President Trump's genitalia.
00:17:02.000All of them apparently happened in public places with other witnesses available, and not one witness has been there who corroborates any of these stories.
00:17:10.000And yet the Democrats are still saying that Kavanaugh should be kicked off the Supreme Court based on, what, a new report from a guy who says that he was at a party and saw a male grab Kavanaugh's penis, which, by the way, would be sexual assault, and then thrust it into the hand of a female who says she doesn't remember the incident?
00:17:26.000It seems like you might remember that incident.
00:17:29.000But if you're a female innocently sitting at a party, and suddenly some dude comes and takes someone else's junk and thrusts it into your hand, it feels like that might be memorable.
00:17:38.000I'm gonna go to the woman in the room.
00:17:39.000Jess, does that seem like a memorable incident to you?
00:17:41.000It seems like a memorable incident to Jess.
00:17:43.000I will take Jess as generic woman here, because I think that that is a fairly memorable incident.
00:17:47.000I think any normal person would probably remember that, and if called by the New York Times, oh, were you at a party where someone grabbed somebody's junk and thrust it into your hand?
00:19:16.000But again, Elizabeth Warren is deeply cynical.
00:19:19.000In the same way that Kamala Harris is deeply cynical, Warren's just better at it.
00:19:22.000Kamala Harris is so cynical that you can see the wheels turning in her mind.
00:19:28.000Catherine Hepburn once described Meryl Streep as an actress where you could actually see every wheel turning, that she was transparent, you could see all the gear shifting in her mind when she was acting a scene.
00:19:38.000Well, that is the same way with Kamala Harris.
00:19:40.000Elizabeth Warren is better at hiding it, but she is the same way.
00:19:42.000She has shifted nearly every position she ever held in order to appeal to the woke base of the Democratic Party.
00:19:47.000Well, now she's doing the same routine.
00:19:48.000She says, Last year, the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him.
00:19:53.000Well, there was an FBI background check.
00:19:55.000And by thorough examination of the allegations against him, do you mean, like, a crapload of investigation by the Senate and no corroborating evidence on any of the massive allegations made against him?
00:21:20.000No, you don't know he lied under oath.
00:21:21.000You can provide no evidence that he lied under oath, actually.
00:21:25.000I love Beto O'Rourke, a man who literally crossed a median barrier while driving under the influence and hit another car and then drove away from the scene all over Brett Kavanaugh because one guy made an allegation he won't even talk to the New York Times about.
00:22:14.000And the victim says she doesn't remember it.
00:22:17.000I mean, we went through all of this at the time, so the only new allegation here is the Max Steyer allegation.
00:22:22.000And that Max Steyer allegation actually includes a case of sexual assault, not against Kavanaugh, but against the guy who grabbed his junk.
00:22:31.000As John McCormick points out at National Review, he says, can someone explain the logistics of the allegation here?
00:22:37.000Was Kavanaugh allegedly walking around naked when his friends pushed him into the female student?
00:22:41.000He says, no, if I'm reading Pogromin and Kelly right, the friends didn't push Kavanaugh on the back, rather, the friends pushed his penis.
00:22:51.000Were there any witnesses besides Steyer?
00:22:54.000He says, all that the authors write in the New York Times essay about the corroborating, Is this, Mr. Steyer notified senators and the FBI about the accounts, but the FBI didn't investigate and Steyer has declined to discuss publicly.
00:23:06.000So they corroborated the fact that Steyer made the allegation to the FBI, but they gave no indication that they corroborated any details of the incident.
00:23:14.000Molly Hemingway, who's written her own book about the railroading of Justice Kavanaugh, she wrote on Twitter, the book notes quietly that the woman Max Steyer named as having been supposedly victimized by Kavanaugh and friends denies any memory of the alleged event.
00:23:27.000As McCormick says, omitting this fact from the New York Times story is one of the worst cases of journalistic malpractice in recent memory.
00:23:34.000He says, even if you take this accusation at face value, it doesn't appear to be an allegation of assault against Kavanaugh.
00:23:40.000If somebody grabs you and throws you into somebody else, you are not actually the assaulter.
00:23:43.000The person who grabbed you and threw you into somebody else would be the person guilty of assault.
00:23:50.000As McCormick says, as I wrote last October, here's why Ramirez's allegation was dubious.
00:23:54.000Deborah Ramirez is the Yale classmate of Kavanaugh's who now claims Kavanaugh exposed himself as a college freshman at a party.
00:24:01.000Her claim is already dubious because named witnesses deny the allegation and Ramirez herself wasn't sure in recent weeks if Kavanaugh had done what she now alleges.
00:24:25.000I kind of like the post office, but I'll tell you what I don't like.
00:24:27.000Spending a lot of time in line, having to schlep all my stuff down to the post office, it's a pain in the butt.
00:24:31.000So instead, I save time and I save money by using stamps.com.

00:25:35.000Trump has responded to these ridiculous allegations against Kavanaugh.
00:25:39.000He tweeted out, Now the radical left Democrats and their partner, the lamestream media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment.
00:25:46.000He's an innocent man who has been treated horribly.
00:25:48.000Such lies about him, they want to scare him into turning liberal.
00:25:52.000Which, by the way, is not wholly untrue.
00:25:56.000Okay, the fact is that one of the things that the media love to do is grant strange new respect to people who suddenly begin interpreting the law according to their favorite designs.
00:26:04.000John Roberts has been the recipient of strange new respect in the past.
00:26:07.000You've seen other Republican justices, Republican appointed justices, Justice Stevens, for example, Justice Kennedy, who are also hit with the strange new respect.
00:26:15.000Trump says Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue.
00:26:19.000Now, I'm not sure how the Justice Department will come to his rescue.
00:26:23.000Politicizing the Justice Department by having him investigate the people making the allegations.
00:26:27.000I'm not sure how that's a federal crime.
00:26:29.000He says the lies being told about him are unbelievable.
00:26:38.000Now again, that's not really what they're trying to do.
00:26:41.000It really is not about influencing Kavanaugh to do their bidding.
00:26:44.000It really mostly is about making the false promise to their voters that they are going to be able to get rid of Kavanaugh and then replace him with a leftist.
00:26:53.000Majority leader Mitch McConnell in the Senate wrote that the far left's willingness to seize on completely uncorroborated and unsubstantiated allegations during last year's confirmation process was a dark and embarrassing chapter for the Senate.
00:27:05.000Of course, all the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, as I mentioned, are now calling for his impeachment despite the fact that there really is no evidence that any of this is true.
00:27:14.000Mike Davis, who was chief counsel for Senator Charles Grassley during the Kavanaugh nomination process, said that, to the best of his knowledge, Grassley's office had no record of the allegation.
00:27:23.000He says, even if we did receive an allegation from Mr. Steyer, as described by the New York Times reporting, it is difficult to see how this unsubstantiated hearsay, quote-unquote, corroborated by anonymous sources, involving an alleged victim, who other unnamed sources said does not even remember the event, would have changed the outcome of the confirmation vote.
00:27:41.000All of this is ridiculous, and all of it is politically driven.
00:27:43.000But if Democrats want to play this game, then I guess that they can play this game.
00:27:49.000One of the Democrats who did not go here was Joe Biden.
00:27:52.000And this is because Joe Biden is smart enough to recognize that this dog won't hunt in a general election.
00:27:58.000Joe Biden seems to be the only Democrat who seems at all to care about the general election.
00:28:03.000He seems like the only person in the Democratic Party who is even considering what the general election means.
00:28:08.000All the other Democrats are so busy trying to pander to the far left of the party that they are willing to put out their uncorroborated allegations to target people without any evidence that something was done wrong.
00:28:21.000And for that trouble, Biden is being ripped, of course.
00:28:23.000So Biden's great sin in the last debate was apparently that he didn't answer a question about the legacy of slavery properly.
00:28:29.000Instead, he rambled about record players and education, and it was real weird.
00:28:34.000Remember that last week he had made some suggestions about how education, because poorer kids don't hear as many words per day, they need to have record players played to them or something.
00:29:13.000So instead, they're going to attack Biden on the racial issue.
00:29:16.000This dog is not gonna hunt, and I'll explain why in a second, but there's no question this is where the media are going.
00:29:21.000An entire CNN panel on Sunday was devoted to the idea that Joe Biden comes from the era of racist paternalism, that somehow it's paternalistic to point out that children of single mothers who are disproportionately minority might need some help in the home.
00:29:37.000You only have one parent there, and that does have a pretty significant impact on the education of a child.
00:29:42.000But apparently this is now racist paternalism, according to a CNN panel.
00:29:46.000It seems to me that he constantly makes these gaps which are out of touch with where we are today because he comes from an era of this like racist paternalism in public policy making of how we have looked at dealing with the issues that the black community faces which frankly come from racist public policy making.
00:30:07.000OK, so I'm sorry, but not having fathers in the home does not come from racist public policymaking.
00:30:16.000It did start with that when it came to slavery, when you were forcibly separating families.
00:30:20.000But the fact is that more children are now born out of wedlock in the United States in the black community than were born out of wedlock during slavery in the black community.
00:30:29.000Because you can see the single motherhood levels declining in the black community dramatically all the way up to the 1950s when only 20% of kids born in black families were born to single mothers.
00:30:46.000The best case to be made for the increase in single motherhood in both the black and white community is that when the government comes in and pays you benefits in order not to have a father in the home, that is going to make it easier for you not to have a father in the home.
00:30:57.000But apparently, if Joe Biden points out that there are significant downsides to single motherhood, and that is true cross-culturally, then this makes him a racist.
00:31:04.000There's an article in the Washington Post to this effect today, saying no record players won't solve inequality.
00:31:09.000There's an article by Mikhal Raz, who is the professor in public policy at the University of Rochester, suggesting that Joe Biden is in fact racist and paternalistic because if he points out an education gap in particular racial communities, then this is in and of itself racist.
00:31:24.000She says the mention of the word gap in response to a question about centuries of American racism reveals a broader problem.
00:31:30.000While Biden mentioned redlining and other racist practices at the beginning of his answer, he ends it with the word gap, itself a paternalistic racist idea.
00:31:37.000Well, no, a gap is a statistical anomaly.
00:31:44.000If you mention the word gap between two groups of people because there is an actual statistical gap, that is not racism.
00:31:50.000But the woke left is going to try and portray Joe Biden as a racist for talking about certain realities on the ground.
00:31:55.000As we will see, this has become a talking point in the Democratic Party.
00:31:58.000They ain't going to go anywhere, and I'll explain why in just one second.
00:32:00.000First, let's talk about how you get the word out about yourself.
00:32:03.000When you go to a party, And somebody asks you for a business card.
00:32:06.000Are you pulling out, like, something that you made over at Kinko's in, like, 1997, and it's on cheap paper, and it's printed in Helvetica font or something?
00:32:13.000What you really need is a nice-looking business card.
00:32:16.000I get handed a lot of business cards, and the ones that tend to make it to my assistants' Rolodex are the ones that people have spent time on, they've spent money on, or the ones that look the nicest.
00:32:25.000If you go to Vistaprint, you can get the ones that look like you spent time and money on them, and you don't have to spend a fortune.
00:32:30.000Your next big opportunity is coming right now.

00:34:20.000We're the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:34:23.000So as I say, the rap on Joe Biden is twofold now.
00:34:34.000One is that he is an old-style racist who's just covering it up.
00:34:38.000And the other is that he's really old.
00:34:40.000We'll get to the old thing in one second.
00:34:41.000But the old-style racist thing, Pete Buttigieg tried to say this yesterday.
00:34:45.000Woke Pete Buttigieg, who's been having some pretty significant racial problems in his hometown of South Bend, Indiana, where he's mayor.
00:34:51.000He was on CNN, and he suggests Biden gave a really bad answer on the legacy of slavery.
00:34:54.000So now, the way that you're going to become the Democratic presidential nominee is we are going to have you recite from memory portions of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, a garbage piece of crap book.
00:35:05.000And if you do it properly, like Beto O'Rourke, then we all cheer like seals.
00:35:09.000So Pete Buttigieg did his reading last night from Howard Zinn, and now he's very angry at Joe Biden.
00:35:14.000It was a well-intentioned answer and it was a bad answer.
00:35:17.000The reason that we are seeing racial inequity in this country is that it was put into place on purpose.
00:35:23.000And I'm not just talking about slavery beginning 400 years ago.
00:35:27.000I'm talking about policy decisions that happened within living memory that excluded black Americans from everything from fully being able to access the GI Bill to labor protections.
00:36:53.000Yeah, I think that Barack Obama was terrible on a lot of issues, but he never really suggested that America's foundational principles were rooted in slavery, right?
00:37:00.000His line typically was a lot more along the lines of what Joe Biden is saying, which is that, yes, America has this dark side, right?
00:37:06.000There's the other half of the coin, but America has been striving to get rid of that for years.
00:37:11.000I will say that I think Obama's straight into Howard Zinn territory a fair bit too often, saying that racism was written into the American DNA and all this kind of stuff.
00:37:18.000But Joe Biden's line here is more appealing to a mass audience.
00:37:32.000Because Joe Biden was Barack Obama's vice president.
00:37:34.000So I think that this is unlikely to work on Joe Biden.
00:37:38.000Even the attempts to get Joe Biden, like there was an attempt to get Joe Biden yesterday because he told a story about facing down a razor-wielding gang leader named Corn Pop.
00:38:32.000A leader of the NAACP said it was true.
00:38:34.000Again, I think that the racial attack on Joe Biden is unlikely to work.
00:38:37.000So, that moves the Democrats to their secondary attack.
00:38:40.000And the secondary attack is, Joe Biden is really old.
00:38:43.000So Pete Buttigieg, who is just smarmy beyond belief, he was asked about Biden's fitness for office on ABC News, as though he's actually relevant.
00:38:51.000And Buttigieg dodged the question, of course.
00:38:54.000You jumped on one of the contenders, Julian Castro, after he made that inaccurate suggestion that Vice President Biden didn't remember what he was saying at the debate.
00:39:03.000But it did raise all these questions again about Vice President Biden's age and fitness for office.
00:40:04.000Look, I'll release my... Before there's a first vote, I'll release my medical records.
00:40:12.000There's no reason for me not to release my medical records.
00:40:15.000Okay, so again, I don't think that, yes, he's old, yes, he's stammering.
00:40:19.000I don't think that any of this is fatal to his candidacy.
00:40:21.000Now, we'll see what the poll results have to say about the results from last week's debate, but the other Democrats are increasing, they're very weak, and I think that the attacks on Biden are particularly weak.
00:40:31.000I thought that Elizabeth Warren was going to rise above the crowd.
00:40:35.000Okay, now, in other news over the weekend, non-presidential news over the weekend, There was a massive attack on a Saudi oil facility by allegedly Iran.
00:40:47.000Now, the reason I say allegedly Iran is because Iran denies it, but in reality there's no other force in the region capable of carrying out this attack.
00:40:53.000The attack was done by drones apparently provided by Iran to the Houthis in Yemen, who are the Iranian-backed Rebel group in Yemen.
00:41:02.000According to the Wall Street Journal, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for coordinated strikes on the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil industry, saying they marked an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply.
00:41:11.000The strikes actually shut down half of the kingdom's crude production on Saturday, potentially roiling petroleum prices and demonstrating the power of Iran's proxies.
00:41:19.000Iran-allied Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen claimed credit for the attack, saying they sent 10 drones to strike at important facilities in Saudi Arabia's oil-rich eastern province.
00:41:27.000Pompeo said that there was actually no evidence the strikes had come from Yemen.
00:41:32.000He said the United States will work with allies to ensure that energy markets remain well-supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression.
00:41:38.000He added that the strikes showed Iran was not serious about diplomacy.
00:41:42.000Which is a major shift in tone and tenor because there was a lot of rumor mongering that President Trump was going to meet directly with the Iranian proxy president Hassan Rouhani in person without preconditions.
00:41:53.000Trump has now tweeted out that it was always fake news that he was ever going to meet with Hassan Rouhani, which it was not.
00:41:58.000Okay, Mike Pompeo was on national TV talking about how Trump might meet with Rouhani without preconditions.
00:42:03.000And there's a lot of concern in some quarters, including my quarter, that the ouster of John Bolton amounted to President Trump preparing to make concessions to the Iranians.
00:42:11.000I would not be surprised in the slightest if the Iranians saw Bolton's ouster as an excuse for them to engage in an act of violence like this.
00:42:18.000to try to intimidate the Europeans into caving.
00:42:21.000It is exactly the same behavior that you've seen from the North Koreans for years, is when they seek to extract a concession from the West.
00:42:30.000And then they say, you know, we won't do any of that if you give us money.
00:42:33.000Iran might be trying the same thing here.
00:42:35.000Also, they are artificially raising the price of oil, apparently so that their limited supply can bring more on the open market.
00:42:41.000They also attacked a tanker over the weekend in the Straits of Hormuz again.
00:42:45.000The production shutdown amounts to a loss of about 5.7 million barrels a day, the Kingdom's national oil company said, which is roughly 5% of the world's daily production of crude oil, which is pretty significant.
00:42:55.000Officials said they hoped to restore production to its regular level of 9.8 million barrels a day by Monday.
00:43:01.000The energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, said lost production would be offset through supplies of oil already on hand, so he pledged that there wouldn't be a dramatic spike in the price of oil.
00:43:10.000The Wall Street Journal says the strikes mark the latest in a series of attacks on the country's petroleum assets in recent months, as tensions rise among Iran and its proxies like the Houthis and the U.S.
00:43:31.000was ready to cooperate with the kingdom in supporting its security and stability.
00:43:35.000And of course, as I say, the attacks happened a few days before world leaders are set to gather in New York for the UN General Assembly.
00:43:41.000The Iranians presumably will attempt to claim that it is Trump's pressure and exit from the Iran deal that have provoked all of this.
00:43:47.000Naturally, the left in American foreign policy will agree with that, because always blame America first.
00:43:53.000You always got to make it about America being the agent provocateur in the Middle East, despite the fact that Iran has been engaged in widespread terror campaigns for at least the last four decades.
00:44:02.000Saturday's attack was the largest yet claimed by the Houthis in terms of its overall impact on the Saudi economy.
00:44:08.000Fabian Hinz is an arms researcher at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California.
00:44:13.000He said the attack has been quite surprising.
00:44:15.000He says we've seen quite a few drone and missile attacks against Saudi infrastructure.
00:44:18.000In most cases, the actual damage has been quite minimal.
00:44:22.000Even before Pompeo tweeted about it, analysts cautioned against accepting the Houthi claim that they are the ones who did it, as opposed to the Iranians directly.
00:44:30.000Iran of course is denying and then they say they're ready for war with the United States.
00:44:33.000So it's an intimidation tactic is what this most looks like.
00:44:35.000An intimidation tactic by Iran in an attempt to extract concessions from Europe and the United States to drive a wedge between Europe and the United States with regard to Iran.
00:44:44.000If by the way this does create that effect, If what you see here is the Europeans siding with the Iranians, it just shows the cowardice of the Europeans, because it's perfectly obvious what the Iranians are doing here.
00:44:54.000Do you really trust a country that is bombing Saudi oil facilities to keep its commitments if we just sign them some cash?
00:45:00.000Or do you think that probably they're going to keep funding all of the groups they were funding before, except in elevated fashion?
00:45:06.000According to the Wall Street Journal, this is the big one.
00:45:10.000They say the technical sophistication and audacity of Saturday's attack will linger over the energy market Well, the truth is that this could have some pretty significant impact on world markets generally and how we allocate resources to protect those markets.
00:45:24.000And yes, we are still dependent enough on oil that we should be protecting against Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia just the way that we protected against Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait and attempting to invade Saudi Arabia back in the first Gulf War.
00:45:36.000The limited goal of protecting America's oil supply, that does have a massive impact on the global economy and allowing Iran concessions.
00:45:43.000So that Iran can go forward and participate in terror is an insane, insane policy.
00:45:49.000Again, I think that what you're seeing is the Trump administration come around to that.
00:45:54.000Iran, ironically, actually just cut in favor of John Bolton's position with their increased violence.
00:45:58.000There's one thing that Trump doesn't like, and that's being pushed into a corner.
00:46:03.000President Trump is not interested in being pushed around by the Iranians.
00:46:06.000Their best move here would have been to keep quiet, just the way that the North Koreans were keeping quiet for a while, and then try to engage in personal diplomacy with President Trump.
00:46:15.000But apparently they needed cover with their own people for any sort of meeting.
00:46:19.000There are a lot of analysts today who are suggesting that basically Iran engaged in these acts of violence so that they can then engage in negotiations while telling their domestic audience that they are standing up to the United States.
00:46:30.000Trump ain't gonna sit down if you're punching him in the face at the same time.
00:46:34.000President Trump does not like being humiliated on the public stage, and he sees this as an attack on his prestige and on his willingness to take a strong stand.
00:46:43.000So this is a pretty major mistake, I think, by the Iranians.
00:46:46.000Meanwhile, over in Israel, it is 48 hours to the Israeli election.
00:46:51.000The media are doing their damnedest to get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:46:54.000They are trying to claim that Netanyahu is a fascist.
00:46:58.000He is not in any way encroached on democracy in the state of Israel.
00:47:01.000The media continue to operate fully and freely and openly.
00:47:04.000There's a long article, a terrible article, in the Washington Post today suggesting that Israel is part of the decline of liberal order, which is insane.
00:47:11.000Israel is the only liberal country in the Middle East.
00:47:14.000The contention is that because Israel is trying to navigate the world of international politics by making friends with illiberal states like Saudi Arabia and Hungary, that somehow this amounts to Netanyahu giving in to fascism.
00:47:27.000Well, why don't you provide him an alternative by, let's say, France not being anti-semitic or Germany not being anti-semitic or Britain not making way for Jeremy Corbyn?
00:47:35.000You know it's a really easy way for Israel to be more pro-France, for France to be more pro-Israel.
00:47:39.000It turns out that Israel has a pretty Obvious agenda here, and that's its own survival.
00:47:44.000But apparently, according to the media, that's out of bounds.
00:47:46.000They're going to be very surprised, honestly.
00:47:48.000The media are going to be super surprised if Blue and White, which is the rival party to Netanyahu in Israel, if Blue and White is elected, and they somehow form a coalition, which looks doubtful in the lead-up to this election.
00:47:59.000It looks like, by latest polling, Netanyahu still has enough for a coalition, which is unbelievable.
00:48:03.000The guy's an incredible poli- Just on a political level, you have to admire the guy.
00:48:07.000With that said, if blue and white were to take over, Kachov Levan, what you would see is actually them mirroring Netanyahu's exact foreign policy.
00:48:31.000Because Netanyahu's just a proxy for Israel, that's it.
00:48:33.000And if Blue and White were to take over, they would feel the same way.
00:48:36.000Because any party in Israel that refuses to make concessions to terrorists will be seen as the problem.
00:48:42.000The person who makes this clearest, of course, is brutal anti-Semite Ilhan Omar, who can't go more than 35 seconds without shouting about the Jews while she was on Face the Nation, because we have to pretend she's a legitimate political figure, unlike Steve King, who is not a legitimate political figure.
00:48:55.000Ilhan Omar, who is a bigot, is on Face the Nation talking about her wonderful grand plans for the country.
00:49:03.000When she talked on Face the Nation about Netanyahu, she said Netanyahu's existence, his existence, was a threat to peace.
00:49:09.000You know, not Hamas, a terrorist group that fires missiles into the center of Israel.
00:49:13.000Not Hezbollah, a terrorist group that fires rockets into northern Israel.
00:49:17.000Not Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group that is part of a coalition government.
00:49:20.000Not the Palestinian Authority, which pays the families of terrorists.
00:49:24.000Benjamin Netanyahu, the duly elected leader of Israel, his existence, his very breathing is a threat to Middle Eastern peace according to rabid anti-Semidel Hanomar.
00:49:34.000Do you stand by your call for a boycott of Israel?
00:49:40.000I certainly hope that the people of Israel make a different decision.
00:49:45.000And my hope is that they recognize that his existence, his policies, his rhetoric really is contradictory to the peace that we are all hoping that that region receives and receives soon.
00:50:24.000There's never any sort of scrutiny on, you know, the actual ruling coalition in the Palestinian Authority.
00:50:30.000Mahmoud Abbas is currently in the, let's see, 13th year of a four-year term?
00:50:35.000Have you seen any scrutiny about that at all?
00:50:36.000There's a story today about the Turkish government claiming that Israel's an apartheid state.
00:50:39.000Oh, you mean the radical dictatorship in Turkey that supports Hamas?
00:50:44.000The media's coverage of Israel is always wild and insane and biased.
00:50:49.000The fact is, there is wide consensus in Israeli society on foreign policy, and I think the world will be shocked to learn that that consensus is not driven, in fact, by Bibi Netanyahu and his cruel, cruel view of the world.
00:51:00.000It's driven by actual circumstance, namely, that the supposed partners in peace over there are actual terrorists.
00:51:05.000Okay, coming up, we'll do a quick thing I like, and then we'll do some things that I hate.
00:52:08.000Because no one has ever told a racially-tins joke in comedy.
00:52:11.000No one's ever done anything like that.
00:52:13.000You mean professional comedians tell racially-tins jokes?
00:52:15.000By the way, Dave Chappelle's getting all sorts of flack for his latest comedy special because of his words on woke social justice warriors.
00:52:23.000Half of the special is about how he doesn't care about white people dying on streets of heroin overdoses, okay?
00:52:28.000So people are making comedy jokes about race all the time.
00:52:30.000As he's on Sari's special, he does the same thing.
00:52:33.000So racial jokes are only okay when they're directed one way, apparently.
00:52:36.000But this is why, again, I think Andrew Yang may be the only, like, nice person running for president of the United States, so I call him my boy, Andrew Yang, who came on my Sunday special and actually is a nice person whom I have met and is a human being.
00:52:46.000So he was asked about this by Jake Tapper, and he said, you know what we could use in this society?
00:52:52.000There's been a number of reactions to my call for forgiving Shane Gillis, and I've experienced a lot of anti-Asian racism throughout my upbringing, and it hurts.
00:53:04.000But at the same time, bigger picture, I believe that our country has become excessively punitive and vindictive about remarks that people find offensive or racist, and that we need to try and move beyond that if we can, particularly in a case where the person You know, is in this case, to me, like a comedian whose words should be taken in a slightly different light.
00:53:29.000Wouldn't you rather live in Andrew Yang's world than live in the woke, scold world where somebody uncovers a comment from 15 years ago, or 30 years ago, or 50 years ago, and you've changed, and you've apologized since it?
00:53:40.000I know that's unpopular among members of the social Democrat base, the same people who say that Joe Biden's a vicious racist, but good for Andrew Yang.
00:53:49.000We need more of that in our society, and frankly, more of that from both sides of the aisle.
00:53:52.000Okay, time for a quick thing that I hate.
00:53:58.000So last week, you'll recall, there was a big controversy that broke out over an ad that ran during the Democratic debate in particular markets.
00:54:04.000It was an ad from a group, this company's called New Minority Pack, and it was an ad directed against socialism by a Cambodian woman.
00:54:12.000And the ad looked something like this, sounded something like this.
00:54:17.000This is the face of socialism and ignorance.
00:54:21.000Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horror of socialism?
00:54:25.000My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life.
00:55:18.000It's a racial slur apparently for Italians, which Chris Cuomo discovered like three weeks ago, but we will never ever call him Fredo.
00:55:24.000So here's Chris, here's not Fredo, who is talking on CNN with Elizabeth Hang, explaining that Pol Pot's regime wasn't about socialism, which is really interesting because it was totally about socialism.
00:55:33.000You are so well educated, you know that you can talk about socialism any way you want.
00:55:38.000Pol Pot was a brutal autocrat and dictator.
00:55:53.000No, that is, no, nope, no, nope, nope, nope.
00:55:55.000If you go to Denmark or you go to Scandinavia, what you're actually not seeing is socialism.
00:55:58.000You're seeing a social safety net based on a capitalist economy in which free market economics works and most ownership of goods and services is in private hands.
00:56:08.000If you want to look at full-scale government top-down socialism, it does look like Pol Pot.
00:56:13.000If you're talking about full government nationalization of resources, it looks like Cuba, it looks like Venezuela, it looks like the USSR, it looks like Pol Pot.
00:56:19.000Now, you can make the argument that AOC isn't for full-scale government nationalization of these industries.
00:56:25.000The problem is that she keeps saying she's for nationalization of all industries.
00:56:30.000There's a very famous joke about Winston Churchill talking to Clement Attlee, and the two of them are going to the urinal together, and Clement Attlee looks over, and Churchill sort of shies away, and Clement Attlee says, what, are we embarrassed, Winston?
00:56:44.000And Winston looks back and says, no, Clement, it's just that every time you see something large, you want to nationalize it.
00:56:48.000Well, that is the view of AOC when it comes to major American industries.
00:56:55.000Chris Cuomo suggesting that Pol Pot has nothing to do with socialism is absurd.
00:57:08.000And then Chris Cuomo does super big journalisming.
00:57:11.000It's journalisming time for Chris Cuomo.
00:57:12.000Here's Chris Cuomo explaining that it's not just that Pol Pot isn't a socialist, it's that Elizabeth Hang, this pro-Trump Republican woman.
00:57:22.000She's misdirecting her angst about socialism.
00:57:24.000She should actually be angry at Trump.
00:57:26.000So here's Chris Cuomo explaining as an objective journalist that someone with a different viewpoint should believe like he does as an objective journalist who hates Trump.
00:57:35.000You know, I get that you want to make political points with this, but, you know, people like your family and what you represent, which, again, I believe is part of the blessing of this country, your fight is with the president that you support.
00:57:45.000He's the one who talks about people like your parents, like there's some other that shouldn't be in this country, because they came here with nothing except the hope in their heart and wanting to make it.
00:57:56.000He doesn't want those people in this country now.
00:58:17.000He is a self-stated Marxist-Leninist who attempted to cram down a Marxist-Leninist regime from above, so much so that he wanted the flag of Cambodia, which looked like a checkered flag.
00:58:29.000He actually forced Okay, that is how doctrinaire Pol Pot was in his Marxism and Leninism.
00:58:33.000looked like the flag, so there were perfectly equal squares looking like a checkerboard.
00:58:36.000Okay, that is how doctrinaire Pol Pot was in his Marxism and Leninism.
00:58:41.000And then he follows that up with, also, you should hate Trump, because Trump wouldn't let your parents in.
00:58:46.000Is there any evidence that Trump would not let in the Vietnamese boat people?
00:58:48.000Like, really, is there a lot of evidence of that?
00:58:51.000Because I'm not particularly seeing that evidence.
00:58:53.000Maybe you'd want them vetted, as far as humanly possible, for safety precautions.
00:58:57.000But I've seen no evidence that Trump would have rejected the Vietnamese boat people who are attempting to escape, or Cambodians attempting to escape the Cambodian genocide.
00:59:05.000Or people who are coming here legally, and not illegally.
00:59:09.000That's pretty wild stuff there from Chris Cuomo.
00:59:12.000Again, our media just outdoing themselves day in and day out.
