The White House says the U.S. has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, the Senate vote to address the looming spike in premiums for millions of Americans is fast approaching, and Senate Democrats are expected to force a vote on their proposal of a clean 3-year extension of those expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.
00:08:07.320This portion of the hearing will be closed so that I may hear from the parties regarding which portions of the recording, the record should remain sealed.
00:08:19.700All members of the public and the press will be excused and the hearing will not be broadcast.
00:08:25.960This is because I need to hear what should or should not be sealed or protected and it would not benefit to have everyone listen to what should be sealed.
00:08:38.520And so after I've heard argument, we will invite all parties or the public and the media to come back in and the hearing will resume transmission.
00:08:50.060We will then take up the motion for limited intervention, followed by the state's motion to amend or clarify the publicity order.
00:09:00.940These portions, the last two portions, will be open to the public and to the press.
00:09:07.100After hearing argument on all three matters, I will take a brief recess and then return to issue my ruling today.
00:09:15.200We will then stand in recess. So at this point, we'll go ahead and excuse the public and the media and it is the court's order that transmission be terminated temporarily.
00:09:27.680Your Honor, we have one request with respect to the closed hearing. May I be heard on that?
00:13:13.100Jokehead, just Google your name and address.
00:13:14.500You'll see hundreds of websites publishing the intimate details of your life.

00:14:06.440All right, we're on with our political violence, leftist violence panel.
00:14:10.360And I want to throw it now to Rich Barris, because Rich, you over at the People's Pundit Big Data Poll, you published some very shocking and disturbing information regarding attitudes that we find on the left,
00:14:25.220and particularly the educated left, when it comes to the acceptance of political violence.
00:14:31.300Jack, to sum it down, to break it down, really easy for everybody to understand, is that the left views words the same way that the rest of us view actual violence.
00:14:42.680So if words hurt them, or they perceive words to be, and we should know, we should actually not have been surprised by this,
00:14:49.200considering microaggressions and everything we heard about over the last decade or so,
00:14:52.940they view that the same as, you know, as throwing a punch or any other act of violence.
00:14:58.660So they feel that responding with actual violence is responding in kind.
00:15:04.860And just what I put up last night was the views that liberal Democrats, particularly, and educated ones,
00:15:11.320a plurality of liberal Democrats with college education or more,
00:15:15.720think that Charlie and others, who, like Donald Trump, almost ended up like Charlie, right,
00:15:21.740that it's their fault. It's the views they hold. It's not the mental health of the perpetrator.
00:15:26.800It's not what they hear from corporate media. It's nothing they hear out of universities or any other outlet that we gave them.
00:15:32.840No. The number one reason they picked for most responsible for Charlie's murder was Charlie himself,
00:15:38.480because of the views he held. And I was reminded when I was a kid, we all had that expression,
00:15:44.060sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
00:15:48.000The left doesn't understand that. They don't believe that.
00:15:51.400They don't see a difference between name calling or thoughts or ideas and violence.
00:15:57.480And that is what it breaks down to. So when these acts of violence occur in their minds,
00:16:03.020they're the heroes of this story because they're actually taking action against people who have bad views
00:16:09.080that are going to lead to people being hurt. It's, I mean, three months out, Jack,
00:16:13.700and we're, you know, we, we really need to start talking about this more.
00:25:17.560Because that's right, you will get a free four-week emergency food supply for yourself.
00:25:21.980And they throw in two one-week food kits absolutely free.
00:25:25.620So the one-week kit makes a perfect gift for anyone on your list who's into preparedness or, you know, maybe someone who needs, you know, like a little nudge, right?
00:25:39.780It's almost a stocking stuffer, if you will.
00:25:41.580These days, it makes sense to have some food stored away for emergencies.
00:25:44.820And with this buy one gift two Christmas deal, you're not only getting yourself prepared, you're also getting unique and meaningful Christmas gifts for your friends or family.
00:37:31.640They've tried to go after his children and they all have Secret Service protection.
00:37:36.380And when that didn't work, the way I look at it is they went after his surrogate son, if you will,
00:37:42.860someone who was close to him, someone who was close to the family,
00:37:46.400someone who clearly you could see a father-son relationship kind of, you know, dynamic there.
00:37:51.820But Charlie didn't have Secret Service and all of this protection.
00:37:56.260He had his private protection and relied on campus security, which, at least as we can see, was inadequate by far.
00:38:03.280And to be clear, for anyone who has questions about all of that, I have just as many questions, too.
00:38:08.200And I want all of the documents and everything released on this because it's absolutely horrific.
00:38:14.680But, Dr. Charles, when it comes down to it, and you've studied this pathology, write about it quite a bit for us at humanevents.com, shameless plug.
00:38:25.280And these people, they're written off.
00:38:29.760Antifa's written off and you've got Benny Thompson up there saying, oh, they're not that big of a threat, et cetera.
00:38:34.380And yet, as Rich showed, they're far more willing to accept and use violence than anyone on the right
00:38:41.660because they have this sort of I'm defending myself or defending others kind of perspective.
00:38:49.860And you see this in study after study of their beliefs.
00:38:56.460It's always the heat map, which they try to deny over and over meme.
00:39:01.340Talk to me a little bit about the pathology and how it drives them towards violence.
00:39:06.260Yeah, I think there is a very distinct leftist pathology that's very different, actually, from the right.
00:39:11.160And we're certainly seeing that today in terms of political violence.
00:39:14.480I mean, part of that, obviously, I think part of the problem, of course, is that the right, actually, we're still relying on reason and debate.
00:39:22.500You know, there's still this idea, I think, that actually what we need to do is we need to convince leftists that violence is wrong by reason debate.
00:39:29.840Well, and Charlie was debating, debating.
00:39:32.960Yeah, and I mean, you know, that should be a message, shouldn't it, actually?
00:39:37.140This is what trying to debate these people, this is where it gets you, you know.
00:39:41.640This is how they respond when they can't win.
00:39:43.520Yeah, an incredibly reasonable person, you know, an upstanding man who believed in the power of discussion and debate
00:39:50.260and wanted to bring people together to iron out their differences.
00:39:53.100No, you shoot them in the neck in public.
00:41:01.200But yes, the leftist pathology is an interesting one.
00:41:04.800And, you know, I've got another shameless plug.
00:41:07.100I've got a new book, The Last Men, Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity, where I look at political trends from a biological perspective.
00:41:16.340And in particular, from the perspective of pervasive civilizational testosterone decline.
00:41:23.720So testosterone is the master male hormone.
00:41:28.480It gives them muscle mass, libido, energy, motivation.
00:41:32.880But it also actually, and this is a neglected point, a misunderstood point, it actually affects people's, it actually affects men's political affiliation.
00:41:43.940So there are lots of studies that show, for example, that if you give men a dose of testosterone, they exhibit greater in-group preference.
00:41:51.920So you talked about out-group preference, about the way that liberals constantly favor the out-group over the in-group.
00:41:57.640You know, they're always looking to these marginalized minority groups.
00:42:01.940And in your book, you walk through, and you have study by study and the research backing it up, that it's actually almost biological that what creates this in-group preference versus out-group.
00:42:13.840And when I say in-group preference, that could mean something as simple as, do you care about Charlie's family and children?
00:42:20.960Or is your care on, oh, well, Charlie's words were harmful to the transgender community, and therefore somehow that might cause someone's self.
00:42:30.980I mean, it's told, you know, almost like a Rube Goldberg machine of causality to try to understand what they're saying.
00:42:41.800Tell us again the name of the book, and where can people get it?
00:42:44.000It's called The Last Men, Liberalism, and the Death of Masculinity.
00:42:47.760It's out December the 16th, and you can pre-order it now on Amazon.com.
00:42:52.280I can't wait to read this, because I've heard you mention that from time to time, but I want to actually go down the deep dive of this.
00:42:59.060And, sweetheart, I want to make sure that anything you're cooking for Christmas is in line with the high testosterone options that we have.
00:43:43.060Jack Selvick, we're back live, Human Events Daily.
00:43:45.160You know, every time I watch that video of Trump talking about the book right there, it reminds me that it was Charlie Kirk who filmed that video.
00:43:52.280We were backstage at the rally, and he said, Mr. President, Jack wrote a book.
00:43:57.480And I was just going to hand him a book and hopefully get a picture.
00:43:59.700But Charlie, he set it up, and he got the video.
00:44:02.540Rich Barris, I want to go back to you real quick because you actually have done some polling on this.
00:44:09.800Why do we keep seeing this high level of violence?
00:44:14.280And, Dr. Charles, you've written about this.
00:44:16.320The transgender shooters or people related to the transgender community like Tyler Robinson, why do we see such a high level of violence associated with them?
00:44:25.020I'm listening intently, and I can't wait to read Charles' book myself because we did, even before Charlie's assassination, we had seen a rash of mass shooting events and other shooting events where the perpetrator was trans, identified as trans.
00:44:40.820So when we did this study, we did, and you have to oversample these individuals because they're such small percentages of the overall population you're studying.
00:44:50.160But we did oversample people who identify as trans, binary, and what we did find was this.
00:44:56.900One of the questions, very simple, does some people hold beliefs that are so bad, so offensive, that acts of violence are justified against them?
00:45:06.400And when you ask trans individuals that, Jack, they're more than twice as likely to say that than any other demographic group.
00:45:15.620And that is directly related to the, again, perceived fear that other people's ideas pose a danger to them specifically.
00:45:23.560So it's no surprise that when we ask questions like the one we discussed before, whose views, or was it their views, was it the mental health of the perpetrator, who's really most responsible for these acts?
00:45:34.440And they're much more likely to say that the individual brought this upon themselves.
00:45:39.080So, again, what we talked about earlier in the segment with people having a hard time telling the difference between words and actual violence, those groups, that demographic group, particularly transgenders, are among the highest likely to say that they not only justify, but they're perfectly acceptable.
00:45:58.680Because, after all, words can hurt you, too.
00:46:01.800So they feel it's an appropriate response.
00:46:03.560So there definitely is something there.
00:46:06.180And I, you know, finding these results, I'm just finding these results.
00:46:09.960Dr. Charles is posing another idea I didn't even consider, which is, I thought maybe this is a social thing, Jack, right?
00:46:42.040And so tell people again the name of the book and when it comes out.
00:46:46.300Yeah, so the name of the book is The Last Men, Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity.
00:46:51.800It's out via Skyhorse, and it's available for pre-order now at Amazon.com, and it will be released next week, December the 16th, just in time for Christmas.
00:47:26.460Well, everybody saw Jack's immediate reaction after Charlie's assassination.
00:47:32.440He hasn't stopped from the second he heard the news at this very table to basically right now.
00:47:41.960He's been in a total mission mode, and the first day he was the one hosting Charlie's show because his team just was figuring out all the details, and he's been on a go.
00:47:53.260But then the side that many don't see is when we have those quiet family dinners, and then when we enjoy a movie, and Jack is always the one who is never short for words.
00:48:05.680He will be always chatting, telling me the latest news, the latest gossip, and then he would get quiet.
00:48:12.320And then he'd just look somewhere far in the distance and just say very quietly, I just miss my friend.
00:49:23.480And I'll say this, you know, even for you, I remember I was standing right over there when I called you and, you know, I had to give you the call.
00:49:31.140And Eastern European women aren't exactly known for showing vulnerability.
00:52:31.380My sub-stack is raweggstack.com, and pre-order my book, The Last Men, Liberalism, and the Death of Masculinity, at amazon.com, and you'll get it next week, December the 16th.
