00:00:50.000 Promises we were in love.
00:01:00.000 They're from Sweden.
00:01:02.000 And that's the knife.
00:01:05.000 Swedish duo there.
00:01:08.000 And the song is Heartbeats.
00:01:10.000 Beautiful jam.
00:01:12.000 Great jam.
00:01:13.000 I don't know if you're on a date, you want to take a lady dancing, you should know how to dance. 1.00
00:01:18.000 Just get some basic moves, guys.
00:01:21.000 You know, when I was a young party machine, I fraternized with a lot of ladies and got up to quite a few hijinks.
00:01:30.000 And then I found the one, and I had my party torch, and I handed it to the previous generation and said, have fun, boys.
00:01:39.000 And they went, oh, that's hot.
00:01:41.000 And it spilled on the ground.
00:01:43.000 And then the kerosene came out and started a fire.
00:01:47.000 And I go, guys, guys, guys, what are you doing?
00:01:49.000 I passed you the torch.
00:01:51.000 Of course, tiki torches in Charlottesville have ruined that analogy, but you get what I'm saying.
00:01:56.000 Look at this chick. 1.00
00:01:56.000 That's Ariana Rowlands. 1.00
00:01:58.000 She's on the show today.
00:01:59.000 She's, what, an 8? 0.86
00:02:01.000 8.5?
00:02:02.000 I mean, in this picture, she's drifting perilously into nine territory. 0.69
00:02:06.000 Doesn't have a man.
00:02:08.000 Talk to the hand, because you ain't got no man.
00:02:11.000 What the hell is going on here?
00:02:12.000 But the reason I chose that song is because not only is it a great jam for courting chicks, all women love that song.
00:02:21.000 Guaranteed.
00:02:22.000 If you get a girl to come home with you and she's sort of like, oh, so this is where you live, kuk clunk, press play on that, and it'll help sort of vibe her into the house, get things groovy, take the tension out. 0.97
00:02:35.000 Better than cocaine and shots can.
00:02:39.000 But here's another Swede, Jose Gonzalez.
00:02:43.000 I think Sweden had a far-right party take over in the 70s.
00:02:46.000 And so the Gonzalez family, I don't know what they were doing in Sweden, fled to Argentina and made this guy.
00:02:52.000 And he obviously has an allegiance to the knife because they're his hometown boys.
00:02:57.000 And so he covers their song.
00:02:58.000 And it's an interesting example of how when a song is brilliant, you can cover it and play it in any format and it retains its beauty.
00:03:08.000 It's sort of like they say, well, comedy, you know, you have to be aware of the time it was in.
00:03:13.000 I don't know if I agree with that.
00:03:14.000 I think funny is funny.
00:03:15.000 Lenny Bruce is still funny to me.
00:03:17.000 And if it doesn't age well, it wasn't good.
00:03:20.000 And if a song doesn't cover and you can't play it in another genre, then it doesn't have a good spine.
00:03:25.000 But Heartbeats has a beautiful spine, as evidenced when covered by fellow Swede Jose Gonzalez.
00:03:33.000 Let's check that out.
00:03:36.000 One night to be confused, one night to speed up truth.
00:03:42.000 We had a promise made for hands and then a wind.
00:03:47.000 Both under influence.
00:03:50.000 We had divine sense to know what to say.
00:03:55.000 He should sing it.
00:03:55.000 I am a trip.
00:03:59.000 To call for hands over.
00:04:03.000 Boy, I bet that guy's drowning in ladies. 1.00
00:04:07.000 Your name's Jose Gonzalez, and you live in Sweden and you're Swedish and you are a band?
00:04:13.000 Poor guy.
00:04:14.000 I almost feel sorry for him.
00:04:16.000 That's too much lady love. 1.00
00:04:19.000 So yeah, today's episode is relatively serious.
00:04:24.000 I am a dad, and I'm going to be sending my kids to college eventually.
00:04:28.000 Not for a while, actually, eight years.
00:04:31.000 But I look at it now.
00:04:34.000 Look, I'm developing that sort of British affectation.
00:04:38.000 You pause before you make a point.
00:04:41.000 I'm at the point now.
00:04:43.000 I have to admit, I'm not sure I want to send my children there.
00:04:46.000 I mean, it becomes more insane by the day.
00:04:52.000 And we'll get to that shortly.
00:04:54.000 But before we do, I'd like to discuss Halloween.
00:04:59.000 Now, there's my Ariana.
00:05:00.000 I feel like I'm being caught with porn on my computer by having Ariana's picture there, but it's relevant.
00:05:06.000 Yeah, today is Halloween.
00:05:08.000 No, sorry.
00:05:09.000 This weekend is Halloween, basically.
00:05:11.000 And the fascinating thing about Halloween is that it becomes a good gauge on how crazy we're becoming.
00:05:21.000 This Halloween is a pagan custom where you dress up like the dead, and it predates Christianity. 0.94
00:05:28.000 So if you have a problem with it, I have a problem with you.
00:05:31.000 And if you want to talk about cultural appropriation, isn't everyone appropriating Western culture by participating in this pagan ritual?
00:05:41.000 But every year, the backlash against Halloween gets more insane.
00:05:45.000 And we'll be discussing this over the next few episodes because we have three left.
00:05:50.000 Today's, Mondays, and Tuesdays before the actual day.
00:05:52.000 But everyone's partying this weekend.
00:05:55.000 Every year, it gets more insane.
00:05:59.000 And this regimenting of the costumes is a great example of the left's hatred for fun.
00:06:07.000 They hate art.
00:06:08.000 Dressing up in a costume, that's you being an amateur artist.
00:06:12.000 Even if you dressed in blackface with white gloves, hello, my baby, hello. 0.69
00:06:19.000 What are you saying?
00:06:20.000 It could just as easily be a parody of blackface. 0.75
00:06:23.000 You're just representing a figure.
00:06:25.000 Dressing up as Hitler doesn't mean you're a Nazi.
00:06:28.000 Dressing up as an Indian, What's the matter with that? 1.00
00:06:31.000 I always say this to Indians. 0.99
00:06:33.000 You want all the interest in your culture you can get.
00:06:36.000 And I thought an interesting example of this was this little kid's tea party.
00:06:40.000 So she, this Japanese, this kid dresses up as a geisha, which has sexual implications, I believe. 1.00
00:06:47.000 I'm not sure.
00:06:48.000 And she has a Japanese tea party.
00:06:50.000 And all these moms come down on this little kid for having a tea party. 1.00
00:06:56.000 Now, go back to the picture, Dave.
00:07:00.000 Japanese tea in and of itself is appropriation.
00:07:04.000 Them doing tea parties, they got tea from the Chinese.
00:07:08.000 It's not indigenous to Japan.
00:07:12.000 And then, so all these women are crapping on this girl's tea party as racist, because everything is racist in this day and age. 1.00
00:07:21.000 But luckily, a sane Japanese woman made a comment on this, and I thought it sort of sums up the way we should be treating these people. 1.00
00:07:29.000 Both Japanese and the PC police.
00:07:33.000 I am Japanese. 0.96
00:07:34.000 In Japan at this very moment, the only people who think that culture shouldn't be shared are racists like you.
00:07:40.000 And then scroll down a bit, she goes, to top it off, 80% of Japanese customs, traditions, and food came from other countries.
00:07:46.000 Japanese is an integration of different cultures like America.
00:07:50.000 Japan takes influences from places like Korea, China, Russia, Europe.
00:07:54.000 If Japan stuck to itself, there'd be no tempura, Japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, Japanese bread, Japanese curry, J-pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques.
00:08:05.000 The picture is not yellow face.
00:08:07.000 They're not making fun of Asians.
00:08:09.000 In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work.
00:08:12.000 Now, for the record, Halloween people, you don't have to put any care into your work.
00:08:18.000 You don't have to worry about any sensitivity.
00:08:21.000 Yes, there are very few female chiefs of tribes, and it's usually only men who wear the Indian headdress.
00:08:30.000 You can wear the Indian headdress. 0.66
00:08:32.000 You can dress up as an East Indian and say, bardi namnam, what's going on, buddy? 1.00
00:08:37.000 It's Halloween.
00:08:39.000 How do you not appropriate other culture if you don't just dress as yourself? 0.95
00:08:44.000 And if you dress as yourself, you're not dressing up. 1.00
00:08:47.000 You people are insane. 1.00
00:08:50.000 And the fact that people lose their jobs for this crap is just infuriating. 1.00
00:08:54.000 Now, I'm a Halloween buff. 0.99
00:08:56.000 I love Halloween.
00:08:57.000 I'm going to make my front entrance of my house so scary, it's going to deliver heart attacks.
00:09:03.000 Last year, I had a little sign that said, sorry, you're not here.
00:09:06.000 Go ahead and take some.
00:09:07.000 And then I was a cadaver lying in a coffin in the front room.
00:09:12.000 And then I could see out of the crack.
00:09:14.000 I could see kids getting greedy.
00:09:15.000 And I just come out of the coffin.
00:09:16.000 My face was all white with a black mustache and a top hat.
00:09:19.000 And I go, that's getting a bit greedy, don't you think?
00:09:23.000 And about half the time, the kids would scream blue murder.
00:09:28.000 But sometimes you just have, often a girl, actually, like a six-year-old girl would just stare at me after I jumped out of the coffin, not phased one iota.
00:09:36.000 One little spoiled brat was dressed as Deadpool with the two swords. 1.00
00:09:40.000 And I scared him. 0.95
00:09:42.000 I'm sure he peed his pants.
00:09:44.000 And then I saw him outside my house saying to his mama, I told you I didn't want to go in there. 0.84
00:09:49.000 And he hit her with one of his swords.
00:09:52.000 I thought, I'm doing a service here. 0.98
00:09:54.000 I'm showing parents that their kids are brats.
00:09:57.000 But if you are dressing up this Halloween, I would recommend you dress up as a thing, dressing up as a thing.
00:10:07.000 Now, one of my favorite costumes I ever did was I dressed up as a woman, dressing up as a man.
00:10:12.000 So I had a wig stuffed into a fedora.
00:10:15.000 I had my wife's blazer on, black slacks and flats and a cigar. 0.99
00:10:20.000 And I talked the way women see men, which is like, I love tits. 0.99
00:10:23.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:10:23.000 Hey, you guys watch the game? 0.99
00:10:25.000 Yeah, football is totally awesome.
00:10:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:28.000 It was fun.
00:10:30.000 And I got to do that guy, that chick, all night.
00:10:34.000 But my friends, Blake and Josh, back in Ottawa, Canada, they almost ended Halloween by coming up with such a brilliant costume.
00:10:44.000 Now, these two are called the Chappelle sisters, I believe.
00:10:48.000 And they're conjoined twins, touched, connected at the head.
00:10:53.000 You got a picture?
00:10:54.000 Can you zoom in on this?
00:10:56.000 Not zoom in on it, but show it full screen.
00:10:58.000 Yeah.
00:10:58.000 So they have an unfortunate scenario where one has to be in a chair because they're connected at the head and she has funny little legs.
00:11:04.000 So Blake and Josh dressed up as them, dressed up as Cheech and Chong for Halloween.
00:11:14.000 So first they got the faces correct and everything.
00:11:17.000 And then Blake stood in a box with fake legs coming out of a chair that the other Chappelle sister, Chappelle sister, Shrapnel, I don't know what she's called. 0.53
00:11:32.000 Look at their kitchen, by the way.
00:11:34.000 You still got all those wrestling figures.
00:11:35.000 I grew up with Blake.
00:11:36.000 He was in my band, Anal Chinook.
00:11:37.000 He was the guitarist and wrote most of the songs.
00:11:39.000 But I remember when we were kids, we were about 15.
00:11:43.000 And his mom said, you know what?
00:11:44.000 You're 15.
00:11:45.000 No more wrestling figures.
00:11:47.000 I'm not giving you those for Christmas anymore.
00:11:50.000 He would get toys when we were adults.
00:11:52.000 We were 16.
00:11:53.000 We wanted a car, and he would get wrestling figures, and they still festoon his home.
00:11:59.000 All right, we're out of time.
00:12:00.000 Let's have a brief look at our guests here.
00:12:02.000 So we've got Lauren Cooley coming up. 1.00
00:12:06.000 She's on a brilliant Make Campus America Great Again tour.
00:12:10.000 And do I have any video of her?
00:12:11.000 I don't think I do.
00:12:13.000 Whoa, my ghetto blaster's fighting back.
00:12:15.000 That's my ghetto blaster telling me that we've got to move on.
00:12:17.000 But this is a brief look at Ariana Rollins.
00:12:21.000 Well, because we only had 200 seats available and 1,000 people showed up, we wanted to bring Milo back so more people could come see him.
00:12:29.000 So 17 days after the conclusion of the event, I went to the administration because they wanted to do a debriefing session about the previous Milo event.
00:12:38.000 And at that debriefing session, they told me, well, I said, well, I'm going to bring Milo back right before the election.
00:12:45.000 We're going to do a little rally for Trump.
00:12:47.000 And they said, well, Ariana, I'm not very happy to hear about that.
00:12:50.000 And I said, well, sorry, but it's happening anyway.
00:12:56.000 Four hours later, I get an email saying that my club has been suspended for An entire year because we had failed to file a certificate of proof of insurance.
00:13:07.000 That's what they do with these conservatives.
00:13:09.000 They bombard them with lawfare.
00:13:11.000 Oh, yeah, I do have Laura Cooley on. 1.00
00:13:14.000 This is her talking to Dana Lash about life as a conservative. 0.57
00:13:17.000 And by the way, liberals, look what you've done. 0.99
00:13:20.000 You've created ninja warriors who want to kill you. 0.91
00:13:25.000 You kept giving all these parameters and antagonizing all these non-liberals. 0.89
00:13:30.000 I don't even like calling them conservatives.
00:13:31.000 And eventually, you made someone who can take you on, who is going purely on the offense.
00:13:35.000 What did you think was going to happen?
00:13:37.000 So students that are independent thinkers are absolutely scared to be going to, whether it's college libertarian meetings or college Republican meetings.
00:13:44.000 And we saw this at Amherst College.
00:13:46.000 Now these posters were actually posted across the campus, but they were specifically targeted where the college Republicans were meeting because they turned them inside out so they'd face into the window so the students could see the message.
00:13:56.000 So, I mean, it just shows that if you break from the mold at all, if you're not a part of that hive mind, that collective thought, they're just going to marginalize you and try to make you basically shut up and go away.
00:14:05.000 What is the goal of...
00:14:11.000 You know, this happened in the Bronx where they shut the Bronx down.
00:14:16.000 Robert Moses isolated the Bronx and built a highway through and demolished all these buildings, ruined an entire neighborhood, ruined an entire culture.
00:14:22.000 And what happened to the Bronx?
00:14:24.000 They turned into savage gangs.
00:14:26.000 They've turned us into savage gangs.
00:14:29.000 Okay, I know I'm way over here, but I just want to show you the universe that these college Republicans, and not even college Republicans, just college non-social justice warriors.
00:14:39.000 I'm going to show you the hell that they live in, and then we'll cut to Ariana Rowlands, okay? 0.95
00:14:45.000 And we'll jump right after that to Lauren Cooley, and you'll see two women fighting back against these lunatics. 1.00
00:14:52.000 But before we do, I just want to show you what these lunatics are like. 0.82
00:14:56.000 I'll hate an intolerance report. 0.83
00:14:58.000 That's something that I would encourage.
00:15:00.000 I'm just going to describe the whole entire incident.
00:15:02.000 And that is something that I would also ask you guys to do.
00:15:08.000 There's been no disturbance.
00:15:13.000 Your existence is a disturbance.
00:15:15.000 My existence is a disturbance.
00:15:18.000 There we go.
00:15:18.000 That's a crucial detail.
00:15:20.000 Your existence is a disturbance.
00:15:23.000 Let's go to Ariana.
00:15:27.000 Ariana Rowlands.
00:15:30.000 How are you?
00:15:32.000 I'm good.
00:15:32.000 How are you?
00:15:33.000 I'm great.
00:15:34.000 Now it's quite early over there.
00:15:36.000 You're still in school.
00:15:37.000 You're still a senior at Irvine?
00:15:39.000 Right.
00:15:40.000 I'm a senior at Irvine studying political science.
00:15:42.000 I see.
00:15:44.000 And the last time we spoke, a lot was going on.
00:15:47.000 You didn't have a man yet. 0.69
00:15:49.000 You were taking a break from courtship.
00:15:52.000 And you had been banned for a year from college campus, your organization, because of some made-up technical glitch in a contract that wasn't even there that said you didn't provide enough security for Milo Yiannopoulos.
00:16:09.000 And so after a week of negative articles every single day, and I sort of rejected every single sort of term of compromise from the administration until they did a referral reversal on that ban.
00:16:09.000 Right.
00:16:22.000 And then from there, I started helping other College Republican chapters who are facing similar things across California.
00:16:29.000 Now, didn't you, this sounds like lawyers are involved.
00:16:32.000 This sounds expensive.
00:16:33.000 Right, yes.
00:16:35.000 So especially in California, a lot of lawyers are needed for College Republican clubs because the students and the administration don't really like the students very much, the College Republicans.
00:16:48.000 So they try and infringe upon their rights.
00:16:50.000 And so I just got elected as state chair of the California College Republicans.
00:16:55.000 And one of the new policies that I'm going to enact is I'm going to create a California College Republicans legal defense team that's going to provide pro bono lawyers for the College of Republicans that need it.
00:17:07.000 You know, you sound like a revolutionary beatnik in the 50s.
00:17:12.000 I bet that the, you know, the radical hippies of the early 50s had to go through similar things at their colleges.
00:17:20.000 You're the new rebels.
00:17:22.000 We absolutely are the new rebels.
00:17:25.000 We were rebels with a cause, and it is not a leftist cause.
00:17:28.000 It is the cause of the Constitution and the cause of conservative values.
00:17:33.000 I'm glad you brought that up because that's a good segue into what's happening with you now.
00:17:37.000 So you just won as the head of the California College Republicans.
00:17:43.000 And the woman that you were up against, her motto was that we have to bridge the gap between right and left and try to befriend Democrats. 0.99
00:17:54.000 But that's never been your idea.
00:17:55.000 You've given up on befriending them.
00:17:58.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:59.000 You know, these people hate us more than ever before.
00:18:01.000 No matter what we do, they're always going to hate us.
00:18:05.000 No matter how many times we concede, how many times we help them out with a policy and compromise our values, they're still going to turn around the next day and call us a racist or a bigot and try to shut us down.
00:18:17.000 So I'm trying to reach out to moderates.
00:18:19.000 I'm trying to reach out to people who are already Republicans and get them involved in our cause and champion it.
00:18:25.000 Well, we've got Lauren Cooley on the show today, too, and she's doing a Make Campus Grade Again tour. 0.77
00:18:32.000 And the thing I say to every college Republican is it's not safe anymore because the right has been so dehumanized by the left that it's okay to spit in their face.
00:18:43.000 It's okay to push them downstairs.
00:18:46.000 If my kid, I've said this a million times, my kid was conservative, if my kid was a gay conservative, I wouldn't feel safe about sending him to a college, especially in California. 0.98
00:18:55.000 No, yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:18:57.000 And, you know, I think the worst of it is at Berkeley.
00:19:00.000 That's absolutely for sure.
00:19:01.000 You know, I was just up there, you know, last month.
00:19:04.000 And, you know, I hear stories all the time from the college Republicans about how they're stocked, how they're walking around, and people are taking videos of them, watching them, posting their locations all over social media, wherever they are.
00:19:16.000 You know, that is terrifying. 0.80
00:19:18.000 Just because you disagree on a sort of ideological scale that you're stocked and threatened and physically in danger, I think that's a new level of ridiculous. 0.94
00:19:28.000 Well, what they've done is They've made the right Nazis. 0.94
00:19:32.000 So now if you beat up a Republican or spit in his face, you're spitting in the face of Hitler as a teenager, so it's morally justified. 0.98
00:19:41.000 It's cool to hate Republicans. 0.81
00:19:43.000 And that is a story sort of perpetuated by the mainstream media.
00:19:49.000 And over the last 20 years, they've sort of bred this distrust in conservatives.
00:19:54.000 And they've said that you shouldn't trust conservatives and all our ideas are terrible.
00:19:57.000 And so now those people who've grown up mistrusting, fearing, hating conservatives are in college.
00:20:03.000 And that's why you're seeing over the last few years, it keeps getting worse and worse.
00:20:06.000 And it's not going to get any better.
00:20:08.000 Well, I think that's what you and I have in common.
00:20:10.000 We both say punch back.
00:20:12.000 We both say let's fight fire with fire.
00:20:14.000 And the attitude of the right for so long has been this, don't stoop to their level. 0.99
00:20:19.000 Remember when Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluck a slut or implied that she might be a slut? 0.99
00:20:24.000 And everyone on the right was saying, oh, that was terrible. 0.99
00:20:27.000 He used that language.
00:20:28.000 That's leftist language.
00:20:29.000 We don't resort to that.
00:20:30.000 No, we should resort to that.
00:20:32.000 We should get petty. 1.00
00:20:33.000 If they punch us, we punch them in the face. 1.00
00:20:36.000 We have to get tough with these lunatics because they're like feral animals. 1.00
00:20:42.000 They're like rabid dogs. 1.00
00:20:43.000 You've got to kick them in the head. 0.99
00:20:45.000 Well, a lot of the times people who disagree with me, they'll tell me, you should just, this is just the way the world is. 1.00
00:20:51.000 This is just how the system is, and you need to accept that.
00:20:54.000 And I say, absolutely not.
00:20:55.000 You know, this is wrong, and I'm going to try and fix this wrong.
00:20:58.000 And even on our own side, you know, when the establishment says, oh, sorry, you know what?
00:21:03.000 I'm not going to make things fair because this is just the way that I want it to be and you should accept that.
00:21:08.000 And then suddenly it's my fault if I stand up and say, no, what you're doing is wrong and I disagree with it and I'm going to fight back.
00:21:15.000 And it's sort of the a lot of the times the establishment right falls into the same sort of idea and problem as the left.
00:21:25.000 And it's that you need to stop standing up to authority even when they're wrong because they're the authority.
00:21:30.000 Yeah, it's like when City Khan says that terrorism is just something you have to accept in a big city.
00:21:35.000 So get over it.
00:21:36.000 Get over acid in your face.
00:21:38.000 But you know what they're doing with you is they're accidentally training a ninja.
00:21:44.000 I had this with my little brother.
00:21:45.000 I'm 14 years older than him.
00:21:47.000 I beat him up every day of his life.
00:21:48.000 And then one day when he was 16, he got me in this hole that I couldn't get out of.
00:21:53.000 And I realized, oops, I've accidentally trained the greatest fighter.
00:21:57.000 And now he can beat me up with one arm tied behind his back.
00:22:00.000 And we saw this with Trump, too.
00:22:02.000 They said, your candidate has to be perfect.
00:22:05.000 We gave them Mitt Romney.
00:22:06.000 We gave them Ted Cruz.
00:22:08.000 Ted Cruz has the Constitution memorized. 0.99
00:22:11.000 And they go, no, he's ugly, and he's a wimp, and he doesn't fight back enough. 0.99
00:22:15.000 So we got this pit bull, this Trump pit bull, and we said, how about this? 1.00
00:22:20.000 And he went in there and just started ripping people to shreds. 0.97
00:22:22.000 And now no one can fight him.
00:22:24.000 I mean, they try the Russia thing, they try everything, and he's like RoboCop.
00:22:29.000 And I feel like the same thing's happening with you.
00:22:31.000 The nice girl didn't win this CCA thing, CCR, because she was too kind. 0.99
00:22:39.000 So the left has created monsters like you and me.
00:22:43.000 Well, yeah, you know, if they wouldn't have infringed upon my rights or my peers' rights so many times, then I wouldn't have had to have fight back. 1.00
00:22:50.000 I wouldn't have had to kick their ass, basically. 1.00
00:22:53.000 And every time we kick their ass, we only get stronger because we learn more about how to kick ass. 1.00
00:22:59.000 So, you know, if they just left me alone, I'd probably, I don't know, maybe I'd be in a sorority or something and be dealing with that drama. 1.00
00:23:05.000 Yes.
00:23:06.000 Just let us have a talk and don't make up some BS about the contract.
00:23:10.000 Okay, last thing.
00:23:11.000 When this whole election was going on, it sounds boring, right?
00:23:15.000 There's people voting.
00:23:18.000 The other girl that you're up against is pro-Democrat in a sense that she wants to bridge the gap. 0.80
00:23:23.000 You say, screw it, let's get tough, let's fight.
00:23:25.000 They're our enemy. 1.00
00:23:26.000 Communists are dumb, as it says here on your Facebook page. 1.00
00:23:30.000 But it wasn't boring. 1.00
00:23:32.000 I can't find any video of this, but there was people screaming wherever you were, and then someone yelling, you're not going anywhere, are you?
00:23:40.000 And running back in when you were about to be torn out.
00:23:43.000 What happened there?
00:23:44.000 So there were two conventions, and the first convention ran out of time because the establishment ran down the clock because they realized I was going to win.
00:23:52.000 So they hadn't prepared for the fact that I was going to win.
00:23:55.000 Even though they tried to cheat and invalidated like a quarter of my delegates.
00:24:00.000 So they ran down the clock.
00:24:01.000 And then that was postponed six months until the CRP convention in October.
00:24:05.000 And then they also tried to prevent people from voting.
00:24:08.000 And when I was trying to get people to vote again, and I was trying to remove the person who was running against me from chairing the meeting, which would give her pretty much ultimate power over decision making, she threatened to throw me out.
00:24:23.000 And she tried to call security on me.
00:24:24.000 And she said, leave.
00:24:25.000 And I said, no, I'm not going.
00:24:27.000 And then all my delegates stood up with me to make sure no one could get to me.
00:24:31.000 And then RNC committee man Sean Steele for California runs in the room and he's like, you're not going anywhere.
00:24:37.000 And pretty much you can't disagree with Sean Steele.
00:24:42.000 So she tried to stall for like 10, 15 minutes and then eventually ended up voting again.
00:24:48.000 And then when they were voting again, there's this thing called the proxy card, which basically means like you're a super delegate.
00:24:54.000 So you are voting with two votes.
00:24:56.000 And so she gave all of her voters this proxy card to make them super delegates and then denied my voters their proxy cards and I still won. 0.75
00:25:04.000 That's Trump all over again.
00:25:06.000 Their side cheats and our side wins.
00:25:09.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:10.000 That sounds like something out of Serbia or the Congo or something.
00:25:14.000 That sounds like the other side of the world's politics.
00:25:17.000 People yelling and fighting.
00:25:19.000 Wow.
00:25:20.000 That's exciting.
00:25:22.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:23.000 You know, the people won.
00:25:24.000 The people won.
00:25:25.000 The people won again. 0.99
00:25:27.000 So you've got this legal defense fund to help college Republicans fight back legally because you keep getting bogged down with all this bullshit, with all these made-up stats and these contractual lies. 0.95
00:25:42.000 And what I find more inspiring is your general message, which is the time for negotiation is passed. 0.93
00:25:48.000 It's time to fight.
00:25:50.000 And that's inspiring.
00:25:52.000 Right.
00:25:52.000 No, absolutely.
00:25:54.000 We're not going to win unless we fight.
00:25:55.000 You know, keeping the status quo, keeping the same strategy that we've had for The last 20, 30 years isn't working.
00:26:03.000 And so we have to try something new.
00:26:04.000 And we found something that works.
00:26:06.000 And it's to fight back and stand up for what we believe in.
00:26:09.000 Well, you've just, I mean, you're beautiful on the outside.
00:26:12.000 You've turned out to be beautiful on the inside.
00:26:14.000 You're an incredible catch.
00:26:15.000 How, are you in a relationship yet?
00:26:18.000 No, I am not.
00:26:19.000 What is going on there?
00:26:20.000 Is there something you're not telling me?
00:26:22.000 Do you play for the other team?
00:26:23.000 I do not.
00:26:25.000 Well, what's going on?
00:26:26.000 Is it men's fault? 0.59
00:26:27.000 Do you not have enough suitors?
00:26:29.000 No, it's not that.
00:26:30.000 It's not that.
00:26:31.000 I'm just kind of picky.
00:26:32.000 And then the people that I choose aren't always the best.
00:26:35.000 Wow.
00:26:36.000 Ooh, that alludes to some gossip.
00:26:38.000 Was there some infidelity recently?
00:26:40.000 No, not infidelity.
00:26:42.000 No.
00:26:42.000 What happened?
00:26:44.000 Oh, my goodness.
00:26:45.000 I don't know if this is appropriate to say.
00:26:49.000 Well, I can delete it.
00:26:50.000 Is it a sexual thing?
00:26:52.000 Are the details too raunchy there?
00:26:54.000 No, no.
00:26:55.000 It's just, you know, people are immature at my age, and I feel like I'm a little bit more mature for my age than the men are.
00:27:05.000 You know, when I talk to women like you and Roaming Millennial and Lawrence Southern, I just get mad at men.
00:27:11.000 It makes me a misandrist.
00:27:13.000 Hey guys, if you're watching and you're remotely near Irvine, go get a ring on that thing. 0.84
00:27:18.000 What the hell is the matter with you?
00:27:21.000 Ariana, thanks for coming on the show and this is an exciting time for you. 0.97
00:27:24.000 The last time I spoke to you, it was like you're under a pile of wet blankets bogging you down in bureaucracy and you just threw them off and now you're free.
00:27:35.000 Still a ton of wet blankets, but less.
00:27:38.000 Beautiful.
00:27:38.000 Well good luck in the fight.
00:27:40.000 You're an inspiration.
00:27:44.000 Now Lauren Cooley here, you're on a Make Campus Great Again tour. 0.99
00:27:49.000 You're a Red Alerts contributor, correct?
00:27:52.000 That's right, yeah.
00:27:53.000 What are you trying to achieve with this Make Campus Great Again tour?
00:27:58.000 So basically what it really came down to is I had a lot of college students reaching out to me and saying, you know, we worked really hard during the election to get Trump elected.
00:28:08.000 We worked really hard because we wanted to help make America great again.
00:28:11.000 But now that the election's over, what can we do on campus to actually be successful, to actually move the ball forward, to help President Trump here on campus?
00:28:20.000 And so I had to sit back and think about it for a few minutes because for so long, I know, at least all my adult life, we were playing defense, right?
00:28:29.000 We had Democrats in the White House.
00:28:31.000 And so the question was, what exactly can we be doing?
00:28:35.000 And all of a sudden, I realized we need to be playing offense.
00:28:37.000 And so that's where the Make Campus Gradigan tour came from.
00:28:40.000 Instead of sitting around and waiting for the liberals or the left on campus to do something crazy and then having, you know, us, the conservatives or the Republicans, say, oh, no, and fight back, why don't we start spearheading our agenda?
00:28:52.000 Who cares what the left's doing on campus?
00:28:53.000 We're the ones in control now.
00:28:55.000 Beautiful.
00:28:56.000 Yeah, I was just talking to Ariana Rowlands about that.
00:28:58.000 And she said, you know, we're done bridging the gap with Democrats.
00:29:02.000 They're always going to hate us. 0.99
00:29:03.000 They're mentally ill would be my addition to that argument. 0.99
00:29:07.000 And the idea of having an open discourse, I don't know, I'm of two minds about it because I like the idea of, you know, bringing people together.
00:29:15.000 But on the other hand, I think, when do you give up?
00:29:19.000 Well, I mean, here's the thing.
00:29:20.000 There's always the people that you're going to be able to convince.
00:29:23.000 There's the ones that you want to have a discourse with, a dialogue, because you're going to bring them to your side.
00:29:28.000 But then there's the ones that they're not out for a conversation or civil discourse.
00:29:33.000 They're the ones like the Antifa squad at Berkeley.
00:29:36.000 They're the ones that are rioting.
00:29:38.000 And so at that point, you know, you got to understand who your audience is.
00:29:41.000 If you want to engage with them in a debate because you know other people are watching and gonna hear what you have to say, that's great.
00:29:47.000 But otherwise, yeah, I wouldn't even waste my time on people like that.
00:29:50.000 Milo was saying that the other day.
00:29:52.000 He said that the thing about a debate is when you both go in, you both need to have common ground in that you both want to get to the truth.
00:30:01.000 But when you debate a liberal these days, they just want to win, they want to cheat, they make up stats, and you go, it's sort of like playing pool with someone where every time you turn around, they're sinking a ball.
00:30:12.000 Well, I don't want to play pool with you.
00:30:13.000 That's not what the game is.
00:30:14.000 You just ruined the game.
00:30:16.000 Right.
00:30:17.000 And that's where the left has gone because it used to be where we had this common denominator where we wanted to see our country succeed.
00:30:23.000 But now the left really wants to see, you know, our country fail, wants to see our system of government fail.
00:30:29.000 And it's the same type of thinking no matter what topic you're talking with the left on.
00:30:34.000 So like let's talk about diversity for a second.
00:30:36.000 It used to be we want a diverse group of people, whether that means skin color or gender or what have you, because the ultimate goal was different experiences and different viewpoints.
00:30:46.000 Today, a room of leftists would rather everybody had the same exact viewpoint as long as they hit those different categories, which used to bring us to the real diversity, which was diversity of opinion and thought, but now they're just checking off those boxes.
00:30:59.000 So no matter what topic you're talking about, yeah, we're not starting from the same point and we're definitely not looking to end at the same point.
00:31:06.000 So it's hard to have that conversation.
00:31:08.000 So when it comes to campus activism, let's just, you know, take it for what it is and say it's time for us to push our agenda forward.
00:31:14.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:31:15.000 Well, I'm fascinated by college Republicans because, you know, my kids are getting older and it's time to start sending them somewhere.
00:31:20.000 And I'm not sending them there.
00:31:22.000 Like, what's it like for you being a conservative walking around campus on a typical day?
00:31:28.000 I mean, so here's the thing.
00:31:30.000 If you don't really speak out, if you're just kind of doing your thing, you want to go to class, you're going to hear your professors oftentimes talking about these different leftist policies.
00:31:39.000 They're going to try to indoctrinate you.
00:31:40.000 You may have to regurgitate some of it in class to get a good grade.
00:31:44.000 But for the most part, you can make it through okay.
00:31:48.000 The problem is when you're conservative and you speak up and you speak out.
00:31:51.000 And that was definitely my experience when I was an undergraduate student.
00:31:55.000 You know, I protested liberal speakers that came to campus.
00:31:59.000 Automatically, people wanted to call me racist.
00:32:01.000 I remember one time I'm sitting in the dining hall and this girl walks up to me and says, so can we talk for a minute?
00:32:07.000 I said, sure.
00:32:08.000 And she goes, well, why are you racist? 1.00
00:32:10.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98
00:32:12.000 This is the kind of behavior that the left treats conservative students on campus just because they hold different views. 0.92
00:32:18.000 I mean, you do a good job talking about how let's not fall into this trap of talking about I'm not a racist, I'm not a racist.
00:32:24.000 But at the end of the day, I mean, these are definitely the tactics that are being used for college Republicans, conservatives on campus.
00:32:30.000 And obviously, it couldn't be further from the truth.
00:32:32.000 Well, it's effective because since World War II and the civil rights movement, it's a given that Nazis and racists are bad.
00:32:39.000 We all agree on that.
00:32:40.000 So now all you have to do is sort of shove someone into that box, and then you're done with the argument because that box then gets shipped away to Nazi town. 0.79
00:32:49.000 And I think it's made the left really lazy because when you actually confront them and say something like, how many illegals are in this country? 0.96
00:32:56.000 Or what do we spend on education per student per year?
00:33:00.000 And their answers aren't even in the same realm as reality.
00:33:05.000 I had a woman, a lesbian, once tell me that there's 70 billion illegals in America, and that's enough. 1.00
00:33:13.000 That doesn't matter.
00:33:14.000 And I go, it's not quite 70 billion, but that would be too many if it were 70 billion.
00:33:22.000 I mean, they've forgotten math and they've forgotten facts because they're spoiled rotten.
00:33:28.000 Yeah, well, you make a great point because people always tell me, is there any plus side to being a conservative on campus?
00:33:34.000 And my argument is if you can get through it, it really makes you stronger because the kids that show up on campus and they already are, you know, left-leaning, their professors tell them what they already believe or what they want to hear.
00:33:48.000 They pretty much just regurgitate their own opinion on these tests.
00:33:52.000 Everybody pats them on the back when they, you know, do a great job protesting the president and they call it a day.
00:33:58.000 They may act like it's so difficult and they need to have these like safe spaces and mass screaming events, which is ones coming up where I guess a year from the day the president was elected, everybody's going to scream to the sky.
00:34:10.000 I mean, these are bizarre things, but they really have it pretty easy.
00:34:13.000 But the conservative students on campus, they're the ones that actually have to have critical thinking and sharpen their views and be able to actually debate and hold their own against their professors.
00:34:23.000 They're the minority thought leaders on campus.
00:34:25.000 They've got to be sharp and on top of things.
00:34:27.000 But I think that type of pressure really makes you stronger in your beliefs.
00:34:30.000 I know it did for me.
00:34:31.000 It helped me really understand what I was willing to fight for and what I thought wasn't really worth the battle.
00:34:37.000 I know, I know.
00:34:38.000 You're right, you're right. 0.98
00:34:39.000 That's why Ann Coulter says our gays are better than their gays. 0.99
00:34:42.000 But it almost sounds like you're describing, say, being an atheist and going to a Catholic school like DePaul. 0.97
00:34:48.000 You would have to endure a lot of rigor and you'd probably be better at your atheism or converted or something.
00:34:54.000 You'd be better at the end of the day.
00:34:56.000 But this doesn't seem like that. 1.00
00:34:58.000 Like every time I check social media, I see another professor has said that all white people need to die. 0.98
00:35:06.000 I've heard that Trump is Hitler, that there's some assistant professor who's talking about genocide, and he's got his black power fist in the air. 0.99
00:35:16.000 I mean, it seems like, I saw one the other day.
00:35:19.000 It was a group of College Republicans meeting that got stormed by Antifa and these radical lefties who said they were going to prosecute them for hate crimes.
00:35:28.000 And then one of them, one of the guys at the College Republican thing, was a registered Democrat, but he was still guilty of a hate crime.
00:35:35.000 And then one of the kids said, your mere existence is a hate crime.
00:35:40.000 And to that, I say, have we gone past the point of no return?
00:35:44.000 Yeah, I mean, so obviously it's not something that we would prefer that these conservative students on campus have to deal with things like this.
00:35:51.000 I would prefer that both left-leaning students and right-leaning students are challenged on a daily basis.
00:35:57.000 I think that's the point of college.
00:35:59.000 But what you're bringing up is actually becoming the norm, and that's not okay.
00:36:03.000 I know this has happened at many colleges across the country, just in this semester alone.
00:36:10.000 I reported on a story the other day about how Antifa in New York City is putting up posters of students' faces and names and saying, if you see these students, they're the college Republicans, tell them what you think.
00:36:23.000 Meaning, obviously, tell them that you think they're fascists, they're terrible people, and they deserve, you know, X, Y, and Z. So that's becoming the norm.
00:36:31.000 That's definitely something that's heightened in the last, I'd say, six months to a year with President Trump coming in.
00:36:37.000 But that just shows the difference between how the left behaves when they're in power and the left behaves when they have to play defense.
00:36:44.000 We played defense for eight plus years, and we were never posting pictures and names of the college Democrats on campus and saying, oh, tell them how you feel, go beat them up or whatever else.
00:36:55.000 And so, yeah, there's definitely a difference, but I think that's where you get the moral high ground with the right versus some of the crazy leftist tactics that we're seeing today.
00:37:04.000 Yeah, I think the answer is a balance.
00:37:06.000 It's a balance of retaining our morals and retaining our integrity and also fighting dirty. 0.99
00:37:12.000 I'm not going to pick a fight, but if someone punches me, I'm going to finish that fight, and that's going to include kicking in the balls. 0.98
00:37:19.000 We're going to go to the next one.
00:37:19.000 Well, you know, so one thing that I tell students a lot is they need to read Solinsky's Rules for Radicals.
00:37:25.000 And I think it's a great book, not because I endorse everything in there or the fact that it's dedicated to the devil himself, but I think, one, we need to understand the tactics that the left is using.
00:37:37.000 And two, a lot of these political tactics are philosophically neutral.
00:37:42.000 And so when it comes down to it, yeah, we have the moral high ground and we're not going to post pictures of leftist students and humiliate them.
00:37:51.000 And I mean, we're going to win on ideas.
00:37:53.000 But at the same time, I think there are some really edgy, forward-thinking activism ideas that students can be doing that right now a lot aren't just because we're so not used to being in the position that we're in.
00:38:05.000 So that's really the whole point of my tour with Make Campus Great again is just we've got to change the way that we do activism on campus.
00:38:13.000 And if we're not planning out our goals and our activism projects and we know exactly what we're after, the left is going to continue to hound us.
00:38:21.000 And so just because we won this one election, President Trump's in the White House, we've got to be doing a lot more on campus to succeed.
00:38:28.000 Well, I wish you nothing but the best.
00:38:31.000 It's an inspiring story.
00:38:32.000 This whole episode has been an inspiring story of college Republicans, both female in this case, standing up for themselves and fighting.
00:38:39.000 And I guess you're not learning anything in the classroom, so you might as well get something out of this experience.
00:38:44.000 And it sounds like you're learning valuable lessons.
00:38:48.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:38:48.000 Absolutely.
00:38:49.000 Thanks for coming on, Lauren.
00:38:50.000 Let's have you back again soon.
00:38:52.000 Thank you.
00:38:56.000 You know, when I did this talk at NYU, they kept yelling, whose campus, our Campus?
00:39:00.000 Whose campus?
00:39:01.000 Our campus.
00:39:02.000 They didn't mean our campus.
00:39:03.000 They meant liberals' campus.
00:39:04.000 They meant we don't have a diversity of thought here, and we don't want you here if you don't agree with us.
00:39:10.000 And I think what we're learning here from the new right, the offensive right, the young new right, is it's not their campus, it's everyone's campus, and that includes the non-liberals. 0.56
00:39:22.000 So the next time they say, whose campus our campus, say, get off my campus.
