In this week's episode, we discuss the latest Supreme Court nominee, Tameel Goggin, and the latest on the Iran nuclear deal. We also talk about the latest in the Trump administration, and some of the biggest scandals of the week.
00:01:46.000We're getting away from Kata this week.
00:01:48.000In the art of bodybuilding, you build up your body.
00:01:51.000Arnold Schwarzenegger referred to it as a piece of clay.
00:01:53.000You mold the clay, and you do this pose on stage, eventually, in the hopes of posing in a thong for a gay man to give you a little trophy, and for you to still be weak.
00:02:37.000We'll be talking about the events that we have coming up in Fort Worth as well as what you can do to make yourself safer as a firearm owner.
00:04:03.000Harry Reid changed the rules on the Supreme Court justice.
00:04:06.000And by the way, when you have four Supreme Court justices voting against the idea that private citizens have the right to own any firearms at all, you kind of lost your leg to stand on when it comes to bitching about either judicial activism or not following precedent.
00:04:23.000They don't like the guy because he's going to enforce the laws that's written.
00:06:08.000Now, for those of you who don't know, if you weren't taught in college, the Socratic method, I believe, is probably one of the most effective methods to get to ultimate truth that we have available.
00:06:17.000And the beauty in it is that it's so simple a child can do it.
00:06:19.000As a matter of fact, it's very, we'll talk about it, it's very similar to a child simply asking, why?
00:06:24.000When you have that kid who won't stop asking, and then you, well, hold on a second, why do I do this?
00:06:43.000Now, it's very different from something that's called critical theory, which is taught more and more in colleges, and the Socratic method is taught less and less.
00:06:50.000It was developed, first off, in the Frankfurt School to really kind of justify Marxist ideas in the wake of Marxism.
00:06:57.000I know a lot of people say, oh, Frankfurt School doesn't exist.
00:08:20.000Now that you've seen the child version, let me explain a little further.
00:08:24.000Critical theory seeks to move beyond observation of subjects or participation in attempt to reveal constraints, thereby motivating informants to engage in conscious political action.
00:08:32.000The critical theorist is seen as a liberator seeking to make social actors aware of oppressive structures.
00:08:37.000The first step on the road to social change.
00:08:48.000Listen, Barack Obama, this was actually the bombshell that Andrew Breitbart was going to drop before he died.
00:08:55.000He wasn't the one who was framing it necessarily as a bombshell, but then obviously people who worked with him did, and so it was seen as a dud.
00:09:38.000You have queer musicology at UCLA, ecofeminism at the College of New Jersey, pornography and culture at the University of North Carolina, not feminist pornography.
00:09:58.000Again, this is, so let me now briefly touch on the Socratic method.
00:10:02.000For those of you who don't know, I think it's, here's what's ironic.
00:10:05.000There are so many ironies here, but the Socratic method doesn't have the word critical in its title, but it actually requires critical thinking.
00:10:15.000Critical theory requires the opposite.
00:11:25.000All it is is societal norms must be wrong.
00:11:30.000Therefore, you're finding a way to justify that conclusion.
00:11:32.000It is confirmation bias based on a pre-made judgment.
00:11:38.000The Socratic method, which liberals have eliminated from college, which leftist professors no longer like because they don't think that it takes into the equation things like white privilege or heteronormativity.
00:11:48.000They've abandoned the Socratic method in favor of critical theory.
00:11:52.000And these are the same people who often talk about safe spaces, judgment-free zones.
00:11:56.000The Socratic method is entirely based on truth, on getting to the truth.
00:12:00.000Now, in order to attain that, it requires there to be no initial judgment.
00:12:07.000It's a judgment-free zone because you're asking questions.
00:12:10.000The Socratic method can only work if you actually are right.
00:12:13.000If you're having an argument and you're rolling the dice in the Socratic method, you're believing that that line of questioning is going to lead the opposing point of view to your opinion.
00:12:21.000So to use the Socratic method, which is something that if you look at any really noted conservative economist or great sort of Republican right wing libertarian thinker of the last 50, they always talk about the Socratic method.
00:12:33.000It requires that you believe you are correct.
00:12:36.000And it requires that you don't make a prejudicial judgment on the outset because that would alter the course to truth.
00:12:42.000Critical theory, however, from the leftist, the open minded leftist, and they are doing this in order to open your mind in college, in order to be more tolerant, requires that you start.
00:12:51.000The line of questioning, the line of the beginning of the investigation with a pre-made judgment in order for you to circle back to draw to that conclusion.
00:13:03.000Nobody out there, well not nobody, but very few people openly talk about.
00:13:07.000Again, the left could not, if you need more approval, talk about Dave Rubin, critical theory is case in point.
00:13:13.000The left could not be more closed-minded.
00:13:15.000They are the most judgmental and ill-informed pricks I can think of.
00:13:19.000You look like you're trying to jump in.
00:13:20.000Well, which makes it really hard to have an argument or have a discussion about something because you're like, well, no, like you said, why do you believe that?
00:14:28.000They can support whatever they want to say.
00:14:31.000Because they have arrived at what they want to say, and they can find whatever they want to support.
00:14:35.000It's the same thing with white privilege, with whatever you want to call it right now.
00:14:37.000You can find things to support if you want to, but that doesn't mean that's where truth would organically lead you, if that's what you were really trying to find.
00:15:37.000These were critical theorists, namely critical race theorists, and Marxists to a T. It's a real slippery slope if you think about where that could lead to.
00:16:14.000Or that ism can be a set of principles which, for better or worse, can help you, guide you generally in the right direction.
00:16:19.000But the Socratic method does not eliminate your own inherent bias.
00:16:22.000What it does allow you to do is look at it from an outsider perspective, sort of like an out-of-body experience, to see if that bias, does it hold water?
00:16:33.000That's what the Socratic method allows you to do.
00:16:35.000And you'll find out really quickly because it only works if you're right.
00:16:39.000If you start going down that line of questioning, it's kind of like a lawyer.
00:16:41.000Never ask a question you don't know the answer to.
00:16:43.000The Socratic method is not in your best interest if A, you're wrong, or B, your position is based on unsubstantiated feelings.
00:16:51.000That's why professors want to get rid of it.
00:16:53.000Speaking of which, Socratic method, San Francisco is looking at removing disclosure.
00:17:01.000Socratic method, why do you suck at speaking so much?
00:17:05.000San Francisco is looking to remove disclosure laws.
00:17:09.000We'll have to get him back, Chad with AIDS. Chad with AIDS. There's a push in California to remove the felony classification of knowingly transmitting AIDS to a partner who doesn't know.
00:18:20.000We want to remove the stigma attached to an entirely controllable sexually transmitted disease that can kill other people you're knowingly transmitting.
00:19:09.000So he, again, the Socratic method is, here, why?
00:19:12.000Because we want to de-stigmatize AIDS or HIV. And this goes back to, same thing, critical theory, in starting off with confirmation bias that this is the victim.
00:19:50.000Okay, so the guy who has HIV, the person we're seeking to protect with this legislation.
00:19:54.000This is not new, by the way, but there's an actual push and it might go through in California because of this guy in the Folsom Street Fair leather.
00:21:57.000To give you an idea, it was basically, it was kind of like Black Lives Matter and the Women's March all rolled into one and then Kendall Jenner shows up and she shares a Pepsi with a cop.
00:22:08.000By the way, first off, before we talk about this, can we all acknowledge then that this Jenner is totally faking the giant ass on Instagram?
00:22:18.000You're going to look back in 2012 to 2015.
00:22:21.000Remember that trend of giant asses that were totally fake from the Kardashians, the implants, and we all acted like we liked it as if that was a natural attraction?
00:23:12.000And they said it was insensitive because they thought it was sort of a send-up.
00:23:15.000This was recorded before this event happened, but they thought it was insensitive because of this famous image of this Black Lives Matter activist who went toe-to-toe with the riot police.
00:25:27.000So everyone was outraged because, I don't know, I don't think it was that, but white is purity, which, you know, they responded to the market.
00:25:31.000It elicited Nivea releasing their immediate counterbalance product, Nivea's pure tar sands.
00:25:41.000They're hedging their bets on the target demographic there.
00:28:01.000Now, this is not the Bernie evil 1% bit.
00:28:04.0001% of people who are watching, enjoying all of our content for free out there in the wake of YouTube and the demonetization and what's been happening with Twitter and the shadow banning.
00:28:17.000If 1% of you out there hearing this transmission, subscribe to the Mug Club.
00:28:22.000Even if you're a student, veteran, or military at $69 per year, guess what?
00:28:25.000YouTube does not matter at that point.
00:28:27.000We'll continue to upload things for free.
00:28:29.000We'll always give you content for free.
00:29:10.000You know, there's been a shift right now in online content, and the social media ghettos are becoming less and less honest, and we need to be less and less reliant on them.
00:29:20.000So if you want to support the content, you want to see more of the content, if there's 1% of you out there who want to do that, we appreciate it.
00:29:26.000If you don't, we'll still continue giving you free content and hopefully change your mind.
00:31:30.000Even being associated loosely with this Crowder guy, or if you've heard about this real extremist, this white supremacist, this Ben Shapiro, you heard about this guy?
00:31:59.000Yeah, I this is the accusation because I talk to you guys.
00:32:03.000So people say, oh, he must be somehow secretly aligned with them.
00:32:08.000Well, I think you kind of I mean, I don't know if you would call yourself a conservative, but I don't view you as a leftist.
00:32:15.000And I think it's kind of like we talked about.
00:32:16.000There's just a wider tent, and so the hateful people who lost you, I guess, on their team, so to speak, went back when you were there with a young Turk, so the name, he shall not be spoken to.
00:32:28.000Yeah, they probably just see you as a conservative in this era.
00:33:04.000That's the highest compliment one can get.
00:33:05.000Well, first off, real quick on the Gorsuch thing, and then we'll jump back.
00:33:08.000You know, you can find videos of me on TYT at the time when, what was it, four years ago when Harry Reid and the Dems were flipping the rules, and I was saying that it was short-sighted and you shouldn't do it just because you're in power and you think you're going to...
00:33:22.000Because you have to have principles when it's hard to have them, not just when it's easy.
00:33:26.000But as far as the other thing, I'm happy to talk to you guys.
00:33:30.000And yeah, I would consider myself a moderate.
00:33:32.000But I have said a lot lately that defending my liberal principles, my liberal principles of free speech and free thought and logic and reason...
00:33:41.000And individuality, which actually is a liberal principle.
00:33:43.000All of that is now becoming a conservative position.
00:33:46.000It's certainly not a position of the left.
00:34:15.000So, Neil Gorsuch, Gorsuch, no matter which way I say it, someone corrects me.
00:34:22.000So let's just say Gorsuch, parentheses, itch, depending who you are.
00:34:27.000This is interesting to me because we watched right away when the hearing started and even the Al Franken thing.
00:34:35.000We took the clips that were being run on HuffPo on Salon and on all the leftist websites where they said, look, Al Franken rips into Gorsuch.
00:34:43.000And I thought, are you watching the same clip?
00:34:45.000So we literally ran the left's highlight reel.
00:35:04.000What's your view on someone like Neil Gorsuch right now, where you probably don't agree with him ideologically on a lot of issues, but on his handling, and the media is just relentless attacks on him?
00:35:16.000Yeah, well, you know, a couple minutes ago I said that I've pretty much stayed the same and left has gone bonkers.
00:35:20.000I would say one place where maybe I've shifted a little bit to the right is I really do now view the Constitution not as a living document that needs to be analyzed just in the time in which you live, that we should really be going off the letter of the law.
00:35:34.000So that's probably somewhere where I've come a little closer, probably to where you stand.
00:35:38.000I would say the bigger issue here isn't whether you think Gorsuch or Gorsuch or whatever is good or bad or right for it.
00:35:47.000We can get to the real issue, but the real issue, we can get to that.
00:35:51.000The real issue, though, really, is the partisan nature of what has become confirmation hearings.
00:35:59.000That's really what this is about right now, because this isn't about whether Merrick Garland ultimately got on there or Gorsuch or anybody else.
00:36:08.000What this is about now is the absolute inability of Republicans and Democrats to work together on anything and And what it really is about is the fact that we're all sick of it and we see it.
00:36:20.000Just look today at all the hypocrites being exposed on Twitter, all the Harry Reads and all the other Democratic senators who you can find their tweets from four years ago.
00:36:29.000They were all about the nuclear option and now they're against it.
00:36:32.000And I'm sure your good buddy Sally Cohn had a doozy today and then I just retweeted.
00:38:32.000He's trying to find bridges to build, and I would put that ahead of any other partisan nonsense.
00:38:38.000If I can find a bridge to build, I will try to build it.
00:38:42.000And by the way, a guy like Beck, who I've tried to build bridges with, and we've become friendly and I've been on his show, he, I think, did a bit of an odd thing with Tommy Lahren, and I invited them both back to talk about it if they want.
00:38:54.000So you have to have principles and it can be tough when you start becoming friendly or whatever.
00:38:58.000Well, the Tommy Lahren thing, we talked about, it's something like with the Milo situation.
00:39:01.000It's very difficult, right, to handle that because we're always straightforward.
00:39:37.000By the way, he's allowed to do whatever he wants.
00:39:39.000It's his company, so I don't begrudge him that in any way whatsoever.
00:39:42.000And also, as you just alluded to, we're not privy to every little thing that went on behind the scenes between the two of them.
00:39:47.000For all we know, she told him to kiss off, and then he had every right to do whatever he wanted.
00:39:52.000But real quick on O'Reilly, I don't know the stuff that you may know.
00:39:56.000I can only see what is being reported.
00:39:59.000But there is something that I don't like about this, which is that once there's a little blood, we now know once there's blood in the water, everybody attacks.
00:40:07.000And now all of these, you know, 11 companies or whatever saying they're not going to advertise just like that.
00:40:50.000I will say, though, I think it does us a disservice to act as though that's the case with Bill O'Reilly when it's, you know, 13 million with like six different women and like bordering on serious sexual assault.
00:41:02.000I'm not getting into the hitty gritty of it.
00:41:04.000But in a culture over there at Fox News, you know, with Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly and you look at the other people who are implicated who are at the top, many people who I've worked with, there's some great people there.
00:41:51.000He actually just defended the rule of constitutional law.
00:41:55.000That seems to be the biggest knock, and I think that's where there's the disconnect, kind of like Gavin McInnes has talked about, where they go, can you believe that Neil Gorsuch said X, Y, Z? And we're just going, can you believe Neil Gorsuch said X, Y, Z? I sit there, I'm going...
00:42:18.000I mean, look, from everything I watched, he strikes me as incredibly competent and well thought out.
00:42:24.000I haven't heard anything that seemed duplicitous to me or anything like that.
00:42:28.000They always want to get you on this litmus test related to abortion or something else and all those little games.
00:42:34.000But again, this goes back to where I started with this, which is that if you want to be governed by the Constitution— Then we have to be governed by the Constitution, and you have to look at what it says, period.
00:42:47.000Now, if you want to change the Constitution, you can amend the Constitution, and we have to do that legislatively.
00:42:52.000But this is where, unfortunately, people on the left, they get their feelings caught up.
00:42:55.000You know, this is Ben Shapiro's facts over feelings, things are feelings over facts thing.
00:43:00.000He's a smarmy little Jew, that one, but he's smart.
00:44:09.000Think back, and you can take a second.
00:44:11.000Did these questions or did these thought processes ever actually come up when you were in the room at the Young Turks?
00:44:22.000You know, to me, even talking about them in a certain way is just sort of pointless because I don't even know how relevant they are anymore.
00:44:28.000And I think you and a couple other people, but particularly you, have done a really good job at kind of showing what Cenk is and all that.
00:44:35.000Well, I mean more so just any circle of leftists because in my experience, it hasn't come up.
00:44:38.000You know, I've been in the boardroom there at places like HLN or MSNBC. And this conversation, I think the big reason you're like, well, now I'm more of sort of a constitutionalist.
00:44:48.000A lot of the time it's because these conversations with the left, It never even comes up.
00:44:53.000And I was just wondering in your experience if that was the case, because it would give me great insight, you know, to know how to better understand people.
00:44:59.000Yeah, I mean, I can say this, that, you know, when I would be on the main show, you know, you just walk on with some notes and you start talking.
00:45:05.000So it wasn't like there was like a lot of back and forth beforehand about political philosophy or anything like that.
00:45:12.000So, again, it ends up being feelings because every day something goes down, right?
00:45:28.000You always have a reason to slander and all that stuff.
00:45:31.000And what I'm really trying to do, and this is why I do the interviews the way I do it and why I like talking to you, is that I'm really trying to get people to step back and go – We have a broad, pluralistic country here.
00:45:43.000There's room for other opinions, but we have to agree on what governs us.
00:45:46.000And maybe I'll shift a little more in that direction now, and hopefully I can get some of the left people to join me on that ride.
00:46:58.000- Mahalo, Agma! - All right, glad to bring our next glad to bring our next guest on For people who don't know, if you're listening to this show, depending, it's the internet, so they can be listening whenever.
00:47:26.000April 8th, Fort Worth Convention Center.
00:48:17.000Particularly, you know, you guys focus on the concealed carry aspect, obviously.
00:48:21.000So it really is remarkable how big this market has become, you know, very quickly.
00:48:28.000When I was growing up, I mean, concealed carry, even among firearm owners, was not really a thing, would you say, until the last decade and a half, as far as it being as common as it is?
00:48:38.000Yeah, it really kind of kicked off in 1987 with Florida kind of led the way.
00:48:44.000And, you know, of course, you know, at that time, all of the lefties were wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth.
00:48:50.000And they're like, oh, my gosh, every traffic stop or traffic bump is going to be blood in the streets.
00:49:52.000It's so ironic because you look at the cities where all the huge crimes, Chicago, Washington, D.C., those are the places where you can't have any guns at all compared to, for example, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
00:50:05.000It used to be a very high crime area, but five years ago, Wisconsin passed probably some of the best concealed carry legislation in the state.
00:53:26.000Why USCCA? Because there's no shortage of sort of firearm organizations out there in the United States.
00:53:30.000And I think it's important for a lot of people out there to understand that not all firearm organizations are necessarily politically aligned.
00:53:37.000And sometimes they'll be surprised as to where the money is going.
00:53:40.000So what's different about what you do?
00:55:01.000Like you said, there are organizations that, and having worked with non-profits in 501c3s before, it can be kind of this cycle.
00:55:09.000I remember I've worked with a few, so people are going to try and do their Googling.
00:55:13.000They're searching, yeah, it must be this one.
00:55:14.000I've worked with many different non-profits, certainly as a consultant.
00:55:17.000Sometimes what they would do is they would write out a research paper, or they would do some kind of a lobbying bit, and they would send that paper out to donors, who would then in turn donate more money just so this paper would be sent out again to donors.
00:55:29.000And nothing was really being done, but people felt like they were doing something.
00:55:33.000I mean, that's got to be especially frustrating since you guys provide an actual service.
00:55:36.000And in the Second Amendment community, sometimes people just find a niche market.
00:55:40.000And they're just like, oh, let's milk this for all it's worth.
00:55:44.000And there are some unscrupulous, you know, pro-Second Amendment organizations that really, it's just kind of smoke and mirrors.
00:55:52.000And that's, I mean, it's one of the reasons that I love this expo because this gives me an opportunity to go and actually talk face-to-face with my customers.
00:56:22.000And we've always talked about that, where if something is a little more expensive, no, we're not talking about this concealed carry insurance, but I will go with the person who at least seems transparent.
00:56:30.000And particularly if someone gives me the shortcomings, like if it's a firearm, they'll say, well, you know what, this one, you're giving up a little bit of this.
00:57:53.000*Dark Knight* Dark Knight here, and thanks to my utility belt, I don't need firearms, but you do.
00:58:07.000Which is why April 8th, the Dark Knight, Robin, and other special guests in Fort Worth will be attending the annual Second Amendment Awards presented by the United States Concealed Carry Association.
00:58:17.000You can buy your tickets at 2aAwards.com and enjoy an evening filled with special guests like yours truly, Steven Crowder, Nat Gay Jared, Iraq Veteran 888, Koliath Noir, and Tim Kennedy, and more.
00:58:30.000We'll be discussing topics like Firearm of the Year, Manufacturer of the Year, and of course, Firearm Safety, which is most important.
00:58:38.000Which is why it's pivotal that we always clear the weapon.
00:59:54.000Like, I get the swords can come out for anyone at any time, but I think it's pretty different from, like, you said a naughty word, or you said something that offended somebody, and you just, you know, called a secretary while you were masturbating.
01:00:19.000And we have the big concealed carry annual Second Amendment award, April 8th at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
01:00:25.000So, listen, to go back to what we were talking about, some people were talking about this on Twitter, and also something, by the way, behind the paywall for people who are Mug Club members.
01:00:34.000A lot of people like the Own Benjamin segment, where he was talking about people getting offended at the word retarded, and then calling him a moron or idiot.
01:00:41.000So maybe we should upload that clip to YouTube for non-Mug Club members.
01:00:45.000Again, it sort of ties in with what we were talking about with the Socratic method.
01:00:49.000Listen, and Ruben and I touched on this.
01:00:51.000I try to be as honest as humanly possible with you, and we are so appreciative of our audience.
01:00:58.000I hope one thing that you notice, and Jared, not get Jared, was talking about this, we never want to take our audience for granted.
01:01:04.000That's why we're always putting together sketches and Photoshop and big video segments that cost thousands of dollars to produce, and we're always trying to move.
01:01:13.000Not everything you do when you experiment lands, but we don't just want to sit and talk into a microphone about the same issues everybody else does and just bitch and moan and accomplish nothing because at a certain point, we're not providing you with value.
01:01:26.000We're not educating you at that point, and we're certainly not entertaining you.
01:01:30.000On this program, it either has to be informative, enlightening, enlightening, or apparently I also need a vocal coach.
01:02:08.000We try to list, you see all the overlays and sources.
01:02:12.000On shorter videos on YouTube, we actually list, or if it's on the website, lightwithcudder.com, we list the sources.
01:02:17.000On the videos, we actually try to show you the sources, because we don't have time to do everything.
01:02:21.000But I have an inherent conservative bias, a right-leading bias, more libertarian, classical conservative, classical liberal, depending on what term you want to use, bias.
01:02:30.000I think everyone in this room would acknowledge that they have a bias.
01:02:35.000And I don't think that acting as though you're objective, when you're clearly not, and that's the root of critical theory...
01:02:44.000Trying to erase your bias, I don't think that actually improves honesty, be it through reporting or through discussion.
01:03:12.000But the beacon of truth that people hold out is the classic journalism when people just reported the news.
01:03:17.000Walter Cronkite said you cannot be a journalist and not be a liberal.
01:03:20.000This was a guy, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw.
01:03:23.000I mean, these are people who, in Dan Rather's case, had him or workers for him outright forged documents.
01:03:29.000Walter Cronkite, who behind closed doors openly talked about how he hated anyone from different points of view from him and how he wouldn't hire them.
01:03:36.000So my point is, no one is able to escape I think?
01:03:49.000So to lie to yourself about that, I think, is the first big mistake.
01:03:52.000And you see a lot of channels and a lot of shows doing that.
01:05:17.000That's why, generally speaking, and not always, you see a lot of leftist channels on YouTube who don't want to have this kind of cross-conversation.
01:05:24.000And I'm not talking about, you know, listen...
01:05:26.000There are channels on YouTube where their debate is just calling you a naughty word, saying the F word into the microphone and saying it's real talk.
01:05:34.000I'm talking about people actually out there who want to have these discussions.
01:05:37.000We have people all the time, Mark Duplass, Dave Rubin, because we believe the Socratic method works in the presence of truth, in the absence of truth.
01:05:45.000You end up with a lot of egg on your face.
01:05:47.000And people all the time, too, there's this thing, we've talked about this with leftists, like with Owen Benjamin, where they just take something and they say it enough so that you become embarrassed about it.
01:05:54.000For example, someone says, you're a horrible racist and if your best friend is black, right?
01:05:58.000Well, that's actually a pretty reasonable counter-argument.
01:06:01.000Well, I clearly don't I hate black people because a black person.
01:06:04.000So what they do, the left, and this kind of, again, stems from critical theory.
01:06:28.000But they just say that's what racists do, so that then you're afraid to do it, and they just take something that is, you know, are you telling me?
01:06:58.000And that stems from taking something that's normal or heteronormative in society and immediately assuming that that's incorrect.
01:07:06.000And the left will take things that are perfectly reasonable for you to say or perfectly reasonable for you to feel or perfectly reasonable for you to substantiate a belief and just preempt it by saying, that is...
01:07:48.000And I think that stems from a lie, again, that comes from the left, where you're inherently altruistic if you're being completely nonpartisan.
01:07:59.000Remember, all of a sudden, when Barack Obama was president, the same people who were forwarding pictures of George Bush next to a chimpanzee, all of a sudden, there were PSAs about civility.
01:08:09.000And civility became the virtue above all other virtues, above honesty.
01:08:13.000And now we see the virtue above all else is we have tradition, we have precedent when it comes to a Supreme Court nominee.
01:08:19.000Again, this is just trying to challenge a status quo or whatever people see as normal or whatever people see as healthful or productive.
01:08:25.000It doesn't necessarily mean that it's right.
01:08:27.000and if nothing else with this program I hope that you see we try to be honest about it and we constantly use the secretic method we constantly try to give you the tools to be able to make these judgments for yourself I don't want this to be the only show Frankly, I don't want the pressure.
01:08:41.000And I also don't think that you'll be as informed as you would be if you set to your favorite tabs, Huffington Post.
01:08:49.000Salon.com, Slate, that's what I've got.
01:08:51.000Most of our news comes from liberal sources on this website.
01:09:33.000All the things you hate in the world, I want you to read about them, and I want you to read about them from people you hate most in this world.
01:09:41.000Then get back to me next week and see how that Socratic method works out for you.
