More riots just days before the 2020 presidential election in the United States. In the wake of the latest mass shooting of a black man by a white police officer in Philadelphia, the question is, why? And who is responsible for all of the chaos?

More riots just days before the 2020 presidential election.
00:00:46.040
30 Philadelphia police officers were injured during an hours-long BLM riot in Philadelphia.
00:00:55.660
Well, by now, I'm sure you can guess there was a force involved.
00:01:04.320
Was it some innocent man who was just minding his own business, you know, doodling on a sheet,
00:01:19.220
So the cops responded in kind, cut to hours and hours of riots, which involved one female
00:01:26.060
police officer getting run over, which involved zillions and zillions of people pouring out
00:01:31.940
into the streets, and 29 other cops getting injured.
00:01:55.860
The incident itself doesn't seem to justify any kind of riot or protest for that matter.
00:02:01.980
Now, any use of officer force is simply a signal for all of the radicals to pour out
00:02:11.700
You can expect a whole lot more of that if Joe Biden gets elected president.
00:02:15.400
You remember CNN was saying, guys, we've got to stop the riots.
00:02:18.480
After weeks and weeks of defending the riots, they said, we've got to stop the riots.
00:02:22.820
Well, if there's going to be any silver lining to this storm cloud, let's hope it shows up
00:02:38.360
My favorite comment from yesterday from Eric Thompson, if you're not on the take, then
00:02:44.580
That's a nice way to switch the Joe Biden claim that if you don't know who you're voting for,
00:02:51.060
If you're not on the take, you ain't Joe Biden.
00:02:54.860
You know, some people have raised this issue that the Republican messaging is getting stale.
00:03:00.420
We called Hillary a crook and we're calling Joe Biden a crook.
00:03:09.180
Those two politicians have been in the business for a very, very long time.
00:03:13.780
And we have evidence that they have sold their influence.
00:03:18.380
Hillary and Biden are practically the same exact politician.
00:03:22.600
Hillary is a little more detestable just on television and on the campaign trail.
00:03:29.240
Old folksy Uncle Joe, Joe from Scranton or wherever he says he's from this week.
00:03:33.580
But beyond that, they're essentially the same person.
00:03:39.120
They've entered into a lot of shady deals with a lot of foreign actors.
00:03:42.480
And now they're running for president because it's their turn.
00:03:45.160
There are some genuine ideologues on the left, but in terms of the blow in the wind, no principles, corrupt politicians, Hillary and Biden, basically the same thing.
00:03:57.860
They figured out certainly how to enrich themselves.
00:04:01.240
By the way, if you want to figure out how you can enrich yourself, you got to check out Acre.
00:04:04.980
It's a way to invest that allows you to invest in gold without having a ton of cash at your disposal right now.
00:04:16.200
This has always been an issue with investing in gold.
00:04:18.520
You say, OK, I'd like to buy some gold, but I don't have enough money to go out and buy a gold bar.
00:04:25.620
Well, what's great is with the price of gold skyrocketing lately, there's a new way you can buy gold through a company called Acre.
00:04:31.560
What Acre lets you do is subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 per month.
00:04:38.620
But, Michael, gold costs more than $30 per bar.
00:04:44.520
Once your gold stash reaches the price of their gold bars, they will discreetly ship Acre gold to your house.
00:04:53.760
It's a great way to also put you on a regimented plan so that, you know, everyone has the good idea to invest,
00:04:58.960
but often people don't follow the discipline to actually do it.
00:05:01.560
Just $30 a month, and then it adds up and adds up and adds up.
00:05:05.000
And once it hits the price of the actual gold, they will discreetly ship the physical gold to you.
00:05:10.080
I think it's a terrific idea, great way to get involved in investing in physical gold.
00:05:15.200
Acre also just recently introduced their new $100 per month subscription for their 5-gram gold bar.
00:05:20.580
I myself have invested in precious metals, and I really have enjoyed that experience.
00:05:33.600
Make sure you go to this URL because Acre is giving away a gold bar.
00:05:37.600
To qualify for that, tweet or post why you should be the recipient.
00:05:49.820
We have a new Supreme Court Justice, Amy Coney Barrett.
00:05:53.100
She was confirmed yesterday in the Senate, and then President Trump, not wasting any time whatsoever,
00:06:00.040
decides to have the swearing-in ceremony that night at the White House.
00:06:04.520
Clarence Thomas came down from the court to swear in, then judge, now Justice Amy Barrett.
00:06:16.120
that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
00:06:21.160
that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
00:06:32.060
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same
00:06:36.440
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same
00:06:57.140
the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
00:07:18.100
I love that President Trump jumped on this nomination.
00:07:21.040
I love that the Senate pushed the nomination through
00:07:31.120
I love that Clarence Thomas was the one to do it.
00:07:33.460
Clarence Thomas, you know, the old school conservative,
00:07:43.420
Some conservatives, though, I think are reacting in a way that is not so helpful.
00:07:48.180
And I, listen, I get that there is a political optics aspect to all of this.
00:07:55.100
So sometimes conservatives get carried away with this.
00:07:57.160
But there was a member of the Trump campaign who tweeted out a black conservative Supreme Court justice swearing in a female conservative Supreme Court justice.
00:08:10.940
I like that Clarence Thomas is swearing in Amy Barrett.
00:08:17.060
I like that the confirmation has happened so quickly.
00:08:23.640
Clarence Thomas's story, what we know about Amy Barrett, you know, the seven kids and all that.
00:08:28.780
Why is it epic that a black guy swears in a woman?
00:08:35.440
I think what conservatives often do is we get so excited when we've got a woman to be sworn in.
00:08:43.100
And she's being sworn in by a man, a black guy, that we want to prove to the left that we're not misogynists and we're not racial bigots.
00:08:54.440
And we're so excited to prove that to them, that we focus on race and sex as though they were very top priority political categories.
00:09:09.880
They don't, they, well, one, they don't believe that we're not racist and sexist, but even if they did, they don't care.
00:09:16.300
It's not going to persuade them of anything at all.
00:09:18.180
And actually what it does is just buy into their stupid view of politics that says that we need to have a woman.
00:09:32.900
When I say that I don't care that Amy Barrett's a woman or that Clarence Thomas is a black guy,
00:09:37.260
I know what it sounds like is I don't, I don't think any less of Amy Barrett because she's a woman or I don't think, that's not what I'm saying.
00:09:46.080
What I'm actually saying is I could not possibly care any less that Republicans put a woman on the court this time.
00:09:53.120
If they had put a man on the court, wouldn't, wouldn't change my opinion at all.
00:09:57.300
As long as the man were a solid judge, I couldn't possibly care less that Republicans put a black guy on the court.
00:10:04.540
If they put a white guy on the court or a Hispanic guy on the court or an Asian guy on the court or whatever guy on the court,
00:10:10.120
it would not make me happier, wouldn't make me sadder, wouldn't make, wouldn't change my opinion.
00:10:16.420
And I just think we need to stop giving the left their premise here on, on these racial and sexual questions.
00:10:24.740
I know we think we're like, ah, now we're going to prove to them that we're not bigots.
00:10:32.080
I do not care what the left thinks of me, especially on racial and sexual questions.
00:10:38.900
And I'm very, I'm very pleased that we have this judge, but I don't want to play according to their rules.
00:10:46.400
I want the court to operate well, which by the way, it will not.
00:10:49.900
If Joe Biden gets elected, Joe Biden was just asked, thankfully, finally by a reporter.
00:10:56.000
What do you think of term limits on the Supreme court?
00:10:59.480
What do you think of packing the Supreme court?
00:11:00.780
What do you think of this and that all these various changes and Joe Biden, we were talking about this yesterday.
00:11:07.340
And whenever he gives a straight answer, it puts him in a tough position.
00:11:13.760
Mr. President, you mentioned just a minute ago there that as part of your commission,
00:11:17.700
you would look at how long justices serve on the court.
00:11:20.240
Does that mean that you're open to term limits?
00:11:23.460
There, there, there is a question about whether or not it's a lifetime appointment.
00:11:28.260
I'm not going to attempt to change that at all.
00:11:30.220
There's some literature among consulists or scholars about the possibility of going from one court to another court,
00:11:36.620
not just always staying the whole time on the Supreme court.
00:11:44.580
They're just a group of serious consulists or scholars have a number of ideas how we should proceed from this point on.
00:11:55.080
God willing, if I'm elected from the time I'm sworn in to be able to make such a recommendation.
00:12:00.960
No, we are not going to have term limits for the Supreme court, but we might take them off the Supreme court.
00:12:11.420
So if you're saying, no, we're not going to limit the amount of time that these judges can sit on the Supreme court,
00:12:16.780
but we might, after a certain period of time, move them to a different court, that is effectively a term limit.
00:12:21.720
So what Joe is doing here is what he does all the time, which is absolutely I support up.
00:12:29.180
But, and, and by supporting up, what I mean is I support down.
00:12:36.740
I totally can get behind East and that means I support West and me.
00:12:41.100
He always does this with these, these opposite issues.
00:12:50.520
He believes whatever is popular and he convinces himself to believe that.
00:12:54.520
And unfortunately right now, what's popular is packing the court.
00:12:58.340
What's popular is term limiting conservatives in particular.
00:13:01.420
What's popular is politicizing the court more so than it already is.
00:13:07.720
If he gets elected, there's no doubt in my mind.
00:13:10.620
I don't think Joe cares one way or the other, just like I don't care about the race or sex
00:13:14.980
of the Supreme court justice one way or the other.
00:13:16.860
I certainly think Joe does not care whether they pack the court, whether they don't pack
00:13:22.300
He just wants to be the president and have a post office named after him.
00:13:27.460
The actual government that can be left to somebody else.
00:13:34.340
It seems though he's got a pretty good chance of becoming president because the Democrats
00:13:44.220
Secondly, we're in a situation where we have put together and you guys did it for our administration,
00:13:52.040
the president Obama's administration before this.
00:13:55.140
We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the
00:14:12.520
You know, that guy, he normally talks out of both sides of his mouth, but there, there was
00:14:19.480
You helped us do it under Obama, which I wish it worked better under Obama, but you've helped
00:14:24.040
us put together the most inclusive, wonderful, greatest voter fraud apparatus in American
00:14:37.700
Watch, they're going to, this is what's going to happen.
00:14:39.600
The fact checking websites are going to fact check me just repeating Joe Biden's words.
00:14:47.240
And they're going to say that I'm lying and he's telling the truth.
00:14:50.700
I promise you maybe, unless they're watching this show, maybe then they won't.
00:14:54.620
He gets very confused as you know, maybe he wanted to say voter fraud prevention program,
00:15:02.460
That's where you say one thing, but me and your mother, Joe Biden obviously fell into
00:15:06.040
He also gets confused about very personal matters.
00:15:08.480
So in the same interview, he was, he was talking about his grandchildren and he misstated how
00:15:17.840
You guys have such an enormous following, not only with my children, my grown children,
00:15:24.060
but my five grandchildren who range in age from 27 to, uh, to 14.
00:15:38.680
He has seven grandchildren and they don't rate range down to age 14.
00:15:42.100
They range down to age two or even, even a little bit younger.
00:15:46.740
Maybe he's got these two new kids from Hunter Biden, one, an illegitimate child with his,
00:15:55.340
And then the other one with his new wife born almost around the same time.
00:15:59.480
Now you might say, well, Joe's just getting confused.
00:16:06.280
I think Joe is choosing not to acknowledge them because he's done this a number of times.
00:16:11.360
Hunter Biden is the number one scandal in his presidential campaign.
00:16:16.140
I don't think Joe just forgot that Joe Biden, that Hunter Biden has these two kids.
00:16:20.960
And, and this is where I think good old, nice, Grant and Joe, he's just a good fella.
00:16:26.400
I think that breaks down because I think Joe is choosing not to acknowledge two of his
00:16:30.900
And I think that's a very cruel, wrong, immoral thing to do.
00:16:35.100
And I think if you're those kids and you grow up and you know, you've got a schmuck dad and
00:16:40.520
you know, you come from this very powerful, you know, longstanding Washington political
00:16:46.080
family and your grandpa, Joe Biden refused to acknowledge you.
00:16:51.200
I think that's going to make you feel pretty bad.
00:16:53.440
I think that's going to give you some problems down the line.
00:16:56.800
And I think Joe Biden is doing it intentionally because he doesn't want to acknowledge that
00:17:07.720
Even the conservatives, as far as I can tell, don't hold him to account.
00:17:10.380
What the conservatives often do is they'll say, ha ha, Joe, you don't forget those two
00:17:14.080
extra kids that were born out of wedlock that ha ha, you know, it was because Hunter
00:17:18.180
Biden slept with a stripper and, you know, use it as a way to basically attack Hunter Biden.
00:17:22.580
Just think about it from the kid's perspective.
00:17:26.040
Imagine you, if you didn't know your grandfather, if your grandfather refused to acknowledge
00:17:29.180
you, you'd probably feel pretty bad about that.
00:17:31.040
And Joe Biden should feel bad about that because what he's doing is very wrong.
00:17:34.300
He does a lot of things that are very wrong, but then he plays it off because he's got that
00:17:40.320
And he smacks you on the back and he says, oh, hey there, corn pop.
00:17:51.700
Joe Biden does get confused, such as when he forgets who the president of the United States
00:17:57.280
Joe Biden was doing an interview and he appeared to think that the president is named George.
00:18:04.380
This is the most consequent, not because I'm running, but because who I'm running against.
00:18:08.460
This is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time.
00:18:13.380
And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot.
00:18:19.300
Four more years of George, George, he's going to find ourselves in a position where if Trump
00:18:26.400
gets elected, we're going to be we're going to be in a different world.
00:18:33.840
George, well, if we so right now, some people think that Joe Biden was confused and thought
00:18:42.080
that George W. Bush was or George H.W. Bush was still president or George Washington.
00:18:46.980
He was around for all three, as far as I can tell.
00:18:53.800
The other theory is he was talking to George Lopez.
00:18:58.960
And so he got he just repeated George Lopez's name.
00:19:03.380
And then I have a third theory, which nobody's talking about.
00:19:06.920
So the first theory sounds the most plausible because there is he just ran right into it.
00:19:11.420
He said, if we have four more years of George, of George.
00:19:17.960
It wasn't if we have four more years, comma, George, if we have four more years of this,
00:19:23.640
George, if we have four more years of Donald, George, it wasn't that he just ran right into
00:19:28.960
So there might be something to that idea that he still thinks George Bush is the president.
00:19:35.340
If he were talking to George, there would be a George Lopez.
00:19:41.180
Or it might be the case that sometimes his brain just gets so fried that he just kind
00:19:45.440
of very quickly shifts to another topic when he can't finish his own sentence.
00:19:51.260
What I think was happening is his his brain just popped a little bit like it usually does.
00:19:55.920
It just kind of overheated and he was trying to buy time because he couldn't remember the
00:20:02.140
OK, I think that's the most charitable, most conservative read of this is he forgot Donald
00:20:11.080
And so he said the first name that popped into his head and maybe he was thinking of George
00:20:15.700
Maybe he was thinking about George of the jungle.
00:20:16.920
And he just said, we have four more years, George, George, George, George, Trump.
00:20:27.520
Either way, any of those three options, not good.
00:20:31.820
You've got a guy who is going to be the leader of the free world.
00:20:35.620
Don't forget, the president of the United States isn't even just the president of the
00:20:43.080
The American election is the global election, at least for the West, but even beyond the
00:20:48.480
When Ruth Ginsburg died, there was mourning in other countries.
00:20:52.640
In South America, people were talking about how awful it was that there was the death of
00:20:57.760
OK, there are debates over the American Supreme Court in Europe.
00:21:01.040
I mean, that shows you the kind of extent of the American empire.
00:21:04.520
And this guy, his brain doesn't work very well.
00:21:13.040
Does that mean that Kamala Harris is going to be the president, the real president, the
00:21:20.280
What I do know, though, is that if Biden can't make the long run, Kamala Harris isn't going
00:21:29.620
Incredibly, despite how bad Biden is, she's almost as bad.
00:21:34.960
She was asked the question, how left wing are you?
00:21:37.200
Kamala Harris has been considered one of, if not the single most left wing member of
00:21:48.660
You're very different in the policies that you've supported in the past.
00:21:52.680
You're considered the most liberal United States senator.
00:21:55.260
I, somebody said that, and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage, but.
00:22:02.580
Well, actually, the nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator.
00:22:14.920
Oh, that awkward laugh went away real quick, didn't it?
00:22:20.040
She always goes for this really, obviously disingenuous laugh when she has no answer.
00:22:26.360
But she didn't even get to the laugh quick enough.
00:22:28.260
So you're the most liberal member of the Senate.
00:22:37.340
Always trying to shift off the blame, always trying to avoid the question.
00:22:41.220
And then this woman on 60 Minutes to her credit, she goes, no, no, that was like every independent
00:22:47.820
adjudicator of these questions actually said that you're the, by your voting record, you're
00:22:53.960
And then you just see that ha ha ha artificial laugh just sort of slowly melt into this.
00:23:00.200
No, I, one thing that I was actually surprised about with Kamala Harris is how untalented she
00:23:08.720
I, I, I did believe that she was a talented politician going in, you know, she, attorney
00:23:19.000
So I just thought she must be talented, but I hadn't seen that much of her and she's not,
00:23:26.080
She might, she might be the most liberal Senator.
00:23:29.520
Even Maisie Hirono who talk about people's brains not working that well.
00:23:32.840
At least Maisie Hirono has some smoothness to her rhetorical delivery.
00:23:42.880
So this interviewer on 60 Minutes pushes her a little further.
00:23:46.020
She says, so what's your, what's your worldview, Kamala?
00:23:54.960
What I will do, and I promise you this, and this is what Joe wants me to do.
00:24:01.300
I will always share with him my lived experience as it relates to any issue that we confront.
00:24:08.060
And I promised Joe that I will give him that perspective and always be honest with him.
00:24:12.800
And is that a socialist or progressive perspective?
00:24:18.020
No, it is the perspective of a woman who grew up a black child in America, who was also a prosecutor,
00:24:30.580
who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India, who also, you know, likes hip hop.
00:24:41.540
I want to know anything of substance other than all that stupid, completely irrelevant nonsense
00:24:46.420
that you just spout it out because you want to hide your political views.
00:24:51.600
The woman is ranked the most left-wing member of the U.S. Senate.
00:24:54.340
She co-sponsored the Green New Deal, which is communism.
00:24:58.300
It's just a nationalization of major industries, including energy, taking away virtually all energy
00:25:05.020
out of the private sector, a redistribution of wealth on the likes of which we've never seen.
00:25:11.220
A complete raising of people's homes, actually knocking down their homes to make them energy
00:25:16.960
efficient, rebuilding every home in America in 10 years.
00:25:20.500
So I just want to know, Kamala, do you agree with that?
00:25:28.260
You can hear, it sounds like she's going to cry.
00:25:29.580
She did this during the Mike Pence debate, too.
00:25:37.280
You want to be treated like a serious politician.
00:25:46.120
Okay, doesn't, doesn't tell me about your views.
00:25:49.800
That's tells me about your skin color, which I can see because I have eyes.
00:25:59.780
Darn, those two victim groups didn't do me any good.
00:26:07.780
So that's, if anything, that's kind of like a point against you, right, in terms of the
00:26:11.160
victim hierarchy because you entered this country or your family entered this country
00:26:21.400
The race thing didn't work and the woman thing didn't work and the immigrant thing didn't
00:26:29.520
She did this early on in the campaign when she was running for president for five minutes
00:26:35.020
And she, she said, oh yeah, she was on some radio show and she was pandering and she said,
00:26:40.040
Oh yeah, I used to smoke big fat doobies, you know, when I was in college and I'd listen
00:26:46.580
And you know, I'd listen to whatever, I don't know, Tupac.
00:26:50.140
And you'd say, okay, I don't believe that for a second, but let me just Google.
00:26:55.040
Their albums didn't come out until you were out of college.
00:27:06.540
This is why we can't take her seriously because she won't take herself seriously.
00:27:11.140
If you're asked a question as a politician, what are your views on political issues?
00:27:17.420
However, that's the basic requirement is to have views on political issues.
00:27:24.300
And if you're, if your only answer is I'm, I'm Italian, I'm a man.
00:27:35.640
We're going to go back to the other guy now, but neither Kamala nor Joe Biden can give an
00:27:40.260
answer on anything because they are both empty suit politicians and they just blow whichever
00:27:47.880
Cause that's how the wind's been blowing for much of her career.
00:27:50.840
If it were the nineties again, you know, it was 94 again, she'd probably be just like
00:27:54.180
Bill Clinton and Joe Biden actually, and blow back and oh, I'm a centrist.
00:28:04.220
When you, when you listen to this interview, you just think, oh my God, is there nobody in
00:28:10.020
Maybe there isn't, but the reason he picked her by his own explanation is because
00:28:17.060
He said before he ever thought of Kamala Harris, probably before he knew her name, he said,
00:28:21.060
I am going to pick a black woman, a woman of color to be my vice presidential running
00:28:26.580
And he then committed to, to it being a black woman.
00:28:29.800
And in the Democrat, there are plenty of Republican black women actually would be good choices.
00:28:33.640
But, uh, in the democratic party, there weren't that many at the national level who could run.
00:28:38.400
So he was basically down to Kamala Harris, who, you know, is, is not that great, but whatever,
00:28:45.400
Then Susan Rice, who was the fall man for Benghazi and who's deeply implicated in the 2016 Obama
00:28:57.060
I spoke to her on Alex Michelson's show on Fox over here.
00:29:00.440
Uh, she's like an actual communist who is openly supported communist politicians and
00:29:07.520
So Kamala is the least bad option, but there were better options.
00:29:11.180
It's just that Joe Biden, because he played into this stupid race and sex game, backed
00:29:15.660
And now he's got a very untalented running mate, a weak running mate who only recommends
00:29:22.320
The only way that she recommends herself is by her race and sex.
00:29:27.080
Even the genuine ideologues in the democratic party, people like AOC have the same problem.
00:29:32.900
She sent out one of the silliest, most frivolous tweets she's ever sent out, which I know is
00:29:38.940
We'll get to it in a second, but you know, the presidential election is almost here.
00:29:44.780
Our live stream starts on Tuesday, November 3rd.
00:29:49.040

know, uh, Tuesday, November 3rd, 3 PM Eastern, 12 PM Pacific featuring
00:29:56.660

Even AOC, an actual socialist, avowed leftist ideologue, has this same problem that we're
00:30:45.980
seeing here come from the left, but some right-wingers play into it, which is just always going back
00:30:50.620
to race and sex as though that's the most interesting thing about you, as though that's
00:30:56.940
She was whining the other night because someone, it was the president, referenced AOC.
00:31:04.080
So AOC plus three is the other members of the squad who are all these leftists who hate America.
00:31:08.660
AOC tweets out, I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women
00:31:15.600
in debates when they consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names
00:31:20.220
while using titles and last names when referring to men of equal stature.
00:31:28.740
In the same debate where Joe, where president Trump refers to AOC as AOC, he refers to Joe
00:31:35.180
Biden as Joe and Joe and, and AOC are not of equal stature.
00:31:38.900
Joe, whether we like it or not, is of a much higher stature than AOC.
00:31:42.760
Joe Biden is a former United States Senator and former vice president of the United States.
00:31:51.620
Uh, LBJ once described the difference between the Senate and the house as the difference between
00:32:04.820
They're not of equal stature, but Trump still refers to Joe Biden as Joe.
00:32:12.140
AOC is a name given to me by my community and the people.
00:32:18.660
Government colleagues referring to each other in a public or professional context,
00:32:22.400
AKA who don't know me like that, should refer to their peers as Congresswoman,
00:32:32.560
Oh my gosh, you're a, you're a member of the house of representatives.
00:32:35.680
That is the lowest office you can possibly have in the federal government.
00:32:39.180
If I did somehow find myself in the house of representatives, if I did find myself as a
00:32:50.240
I would not advertise that members of Congress, members of the house of representatives are some
00:32:55.460
of the least popular people in the entire country.
00:32:58.960
There are years where diseases are more popular than members of the house of representatives.
00:33:05.000
By the way, do you know where Trump might've heard this nickname AOC?
00:33:15.020
But the only thing that this woman can even say to recommend herself is, I'm a woman.
00:33:47.040
This cult, because obviously this is a very stupid tweet of hers, but listen to what is
00:33:53.100
She's saying, some people can refer to me by that and it's respectful, but other people
00:33:58.440
cannot refer to me by that name because it's disrespectful.
00:34:01.880
And I'm not even going to tell you the objective criteria for who can refer to me as AOC, right?
00:34:21.440
There's no way to know who is allowed to call her AOC and who is not allowed to call her AOC.
00:34:25.320
Because at the very bottom, at the very most extreme, basic level of this ideology is a denial or dismissal of objective reality.
00:34:38.440
That has always been at the basis of Marxism, progressivism, the various leftist ideologies that have cropped up over the last 150 years.
00:34:56.280
We're in the world of transforming human nature and progressing toward utopia.
00:35:00.600
That's what, obviously AOC doesn't know any of this because she's never cracked the spine of any book that would even suggest these things.
00:35:06.940
But that is at the basis of what she's learned essentially through slogans.
00:35:15.460
But that cult of subjectivism and identity politics is maddening.
00:35:21.880
I mean it makes you mad in the sense that it makes you crazy.
00:35:24.100
It makes you lose your mind because there's nothing to rely on anymore in the objective world.
00:35:32.380
There's a woman who just went viral on this point.
00:35:39.040
So many problems begin with posting TikTok videos.
00:35:41.340
She posted a TikTok video about how she was talking to her father and convinced him to vote for Joe Biden.
00:36:00.520
We've had some intense exchanges, yeah, presumably, about him voting for Trump this year.
00:36:07.500
What a way to waste time with your dad who's dying.
00:36:10.480
Which has been painful since we'll almost certainly lose him in the next few weeks and months.
00:36:16.460
Yesterday, he was so excited to tell me he just voted for Biden-Harris 2020!
00:36:34.780
I think I'm going to vote for the guy who is supported by people who respect their parents.
00:36:56.920
She has got a sickness that a lot of people, I think, have right now in this culture.
00:37:09.040
He's dying of a disease that I believe makes it difficult for your blood to carry oxygen.
00:37:26.560
And the intense exchanges are about Donald Trump.
00:37:31.580
Could you imagine wasting your precious remaining moments with your parents on Donald Trump or any politician for that matter?
00:37:40.920
How sick, how warped does your head have to be?
00:37:43.500
And then to exert all this emotional manipulation on a dying man, your dying father, to vote for Joe Biden?
00:37:58.220
Some days you don't even know he's running for president.
00:38:10.460
Now what's really, this obviously isn't about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris for that matter.
00:38:26.540
Progressivism, leftism, secular liberalism, whatever you want to call it, is a religious cult.
00:38:30.600
Because a more typical reaction, if a parent or a loved one is dying, is to consider eternal questions.
00:38:42.160
What is, what is, is there something more than this life?
00:38:47.940
If you do have a faith, you'd like to nudge your friends and family members over to that faith.
00:38:55.080
Maybe if you're already baptized, confess your sins, receive the Eucharist, receive the sacraments, get right with God.
00:39:05.300
And that's what this woman, I think, is doing too.
00:39:09.480
But, but in the cult of secular liberalism, the sacrament is voting for this crook, Joe Biden.
00:39:19.560
We might say, receive the sacraments or die in the, in the eternal life.
00:39:30.020
If I didn't know anything about the issues, I, it would be better if I didn't vote.
00:39:42.020
How sad, how deeply sad is that for this woman, for her family, for the country?
00:39:55.280
Speaking of women, speaking of crazy stuff, Tampax, the women's hygiene company, just tweeted out.
00:40:13.240
Also a fact, not all people with periods are women.
00:40:18.640
I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
00:40:20.220
Let's celebrate the diversity of all people who bleed.
00:40:29.560
So first of all, I guess they thought this was referring to transgenderism.
00:40:34.720
You know, if a woman pretends to be a man, that obviously she could still menstruate.
00:40:42.000
And therefore, if you believe that a woman can just become a man by saying so, then a man can menstruate.
00:40:48.220
You know, there's a little leap of logic that's going on here that isn't totally kosher.
00:40:53.520
Namely, that you can just become the other sex by wishing it so.
00:40:57.220
But also, I like the idea of this phrase, people who bleed.
00:41:01.700
We've taken woman, lady, even some sort of disparaging terms for women, broad, dame, whatever.
00:41:19.520
We've taken out all of the beauty or, you know, graphic imagery.
00:41:26.460
We've taken it all out and we've just made it so clinical.
00:41:38.120
If I, you know, now I'm evoking my inner Shakespeare.
00:41:45.960
Where we can't call anything by any name that has specificity or meaning or color or truth to it.
00:41:53.220
Because everything has to be clinical and we all have to be the same.
00:41:56.460
That, that impulse comes from an impulse within liberalism, which is to make everybody exactly the same.
00:42:06.020
Of course, any kind of romantic arrangement has to be exactly the same as any other kind of romantic arrangement.
00:42:11.680
Of course, any kind of relationship has to be any kind, like any other kind of relationship.
00:42:15.440
Of course, natural institutions like the family or, you know, very basic institutions like local government, local townships, civil society.
00:42:26.240
All to the, to the hyper atomization of the individual.
00:42:35.000
We're differentiated on the basis of sex, most notably.
00:42:51.500
I was discussing this the other day on, on the backstage show.
00:42:54.900
Over the past 10 years or so now, maybe, maybe a little bit longer, so about 10 years.
00:43:01.320
This is relatively new as a popular phenomenon in the media.
00:43:04.940
The idea that some politician says something and you fact check it.
00:43:10.200
There's no such thing as a fact check in the, in the popular press.
00:43:14.220
There are left-wing opinion columns to varying degrees of extremism.
00:43:19.320
And they call themselves fact checks because the left refuses to acknowledge that there
00:43:24.800
For the left, only their perspective is legitimate.
00:43:29.000
For the left, only their candidates are legitimate.
00:43:31.280
The other candidates are illegitimate, which is why if the other candidate wins, they don't
00:43:34.660
accept the results of the election, which they didn't do in 2016.
00:43:39.400
They still, they still haven't accepted those results.
00:43:41.120
And they have already said they're not going to accept the results of 2020.
00:43:43.740
Hillary Clinton said Joe Biden shouldn't concede under any circumstances.
00:43:57.160
So they've got this piece, insisting that the Hunter Biden laptop is fake is a trap.
00:44:05.080
The lesson of 2016 is to be even more careful with potential disinformation in 2020.
00:44:13.240
We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation, even
00:44:27.800
We know that they're not a foreign intelligence operation.
00:44:29.980
The director of national intelligence and the director of the FBI have told us that it's
00:44:39.940
We got pictures of Hunter Biden on the computer.
00:44:43.480
We don't think it's some Photoshop artist who's just really good at painting lifelike images
00:44:47.320
of Hunter Biden in compromising positions with various types of pipes.
00:44:52.620
But they're saying we have to pretend that they're a foreign intelligence operation.
00:45:07.340
Because when the left has to choose between their ideology and what they see with their
00:45:18.280
The left, we often joke about the left as people who say, who cares if it works in practice?
00:45:32.140
For the left, their ideology is truer even than the fact of what happened.
00:45:37.000
Getting back to the story at the top of the show, the riots are ostensibly about police
00:45:41.560
We know there wasn't police brutality in this instance that caused the rioting in Philly.
00:45:45.660
The guy that was shot had a knife coming at the cops.
00:45:54.460
What you would have happen if we followed procedure?
00:45:58.660
But whenever this happens, whenever one of these police-involved killings is justified,
00:46:04.660
Jacob Blake, worn out for his arrest, accused of sexual assault, resists arrest, reaches
00:46:11.980
into a car with a weapon, and the complainant's kids in the car are about to drive off.
00:46:20.480
Even in that case, what does the left always say?
00:46:22.220
They always say, well, okay, this instance, maybe it was justified.
00:46:28.040
But when they do admit it, they'll say, okay, maybe this was justified.
00:46:30.720
So maybe the specific instance wasn't true as we're describing it, but it gets to a greater
00:46:43.600
What they mean by greater truth is their ideology.
00:46:45.860
Their ideology, which continues to be disproven time and time again by reality.
00:47:00.560
I think we would be very foolish as reasonable people, conservatives, independents, non-leftists.
00:47:07.380
I think we would be very foolish to buy into their ideology too.
