On this week's Thursday Live Stream, we're joined by comedian Nick DiPaolo, who tells us about his run-in with a taxi driver, and we hear from Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Joe Manchin.
00:01:53.000We need to stop the revolution, revolution, revolution.
00:01:57.000Ah, that's the sound of the weekend coming out.
00:01:58.000It's the Thursday live stream and we have in third chair today, actually, that you couldn't tell that he was dancing because his dance is the equivalent to restless leg syndrome.
00:02:37.000He's going to be thrilled that this is his leading.
00:02:40.000Before I move on with that, listen, my question of the day, we're obviously going to get to Kavanaugh hearings and a rebuttal of the gay Latino over there at Vox.
00:02:45.000As a society, we kind of have a give and take.
00:04:43.000Leading the news, of course, the White House finds no support.
00:04:46.000Just found out in the FBI report for sexual assault claims against Brett Kavanaugh.
00:04:49.000This comes from the New York Times, so you know it's real.
00:04:53.000With this additional information, the White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, and it looks like we're actually, we won't be seeing a confirmation vote on Saturday.
00:05:02.000The more information that comes out, here's the truth, the less credible Ford's story sounds.
00:05:05.000If people don't like to hear that, if the left had had their way, it'd be a very different country.
00:05:11.000Now then, can you identify the man who raped you?
00:07:44.000Chief Ty Takar, I guess is his name, wrote that the department received calls about birds that appeared to be under the influence flying into windows, cars, and acting confused.
00:07:53.000But to be fair, the main burden question is demanding a hearing to clear his good name.
00:07:56.000So he does seem as though, yeah, he is.
00:08:43.000In International News, German parents forgot their five-year-old at an airport in Germany, in case you're wondering.
00:08:49.000Police said the mother explained to officers that the family had driven home in separate cars and each believed that the child was with the other parent.
00:11:13.000There's a scene, literally, he's talking and the guy goes, black guy goes, you know man, I could get killed for telling you that stuff, man.
00:11:19.000He goes, you could get killed walking your doggy!
00:11:49.000We're going to have David Mamet on the show soon.
00:11:51.000I would say, if you have to pick someone, overall, if you look at the span of the career, probably the greatest actor ever, you'd have to put Jack Lemmon in there.
00:11:58.000I'd go with Larry Storch from F Troop.
00:12:01.000Used to be a Spacey fan, but not anymore.
00:12:03.000No, but seriously though, Jack Lemmon, think of it, you go back to Some Like It Hot, right?
00:12:06.000You go back to early Jack Lemmon, and he was just as good at that as he was in Glen Ross, Breaking Your Heart.
00:12:33.000Yo Internet, so you know he's hip, we need your help to come up with seven amazing flavors for seven amazing up-and-coming progressives who could be headed to Congress in November.
00:12:44.000So, of course, Ben, as a noted Bernie Sanders supporter, and with the recent rise of Democratic Socialists to the pop culture, we actually have a list of their top suggestions so far, which brings us to this week's 7 Plus 1.
00:14:11.000Because you have to think I'm this nice sort of aw gee shucks Canadian and you come in and break my balls and then now I have you saying final solution.
00:14:17.000Break your balls, I haven't even touched you today.
00:14:20.000Number two, you want to give us number two there, Nick?
00:15:03.000I'll follow another story before we have to get to the TCU follow-up.
00:15:06.000We'll be talking about the TCU follow-up in our recent Change My Mind and the mental counseling required thereafter, along with a rebuttal to Vox.
00:15:13.000Before that, these academics submitted a hoax paper about dog rape just to prove that it would be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
00:15:21.000And it was published in a peer-reviewed journal.
00:15:24.000So here's a clip from the people who actually got it in.
00:15:26.000We'll show you a clip first to give you some context.
00:15:29.000Dear Dr. Helen Wilson, I have now closely considered the revisions of your manuscript, Dog Pork, and will recommend its publication in Gender, Place, and Culture.
00:15:42.000You have done very good work to address the issues your viewers raise and have clarified your arguments.
00:15:48.000Thank you for your contribution to Gender, Place, and Culture, and I hope to be seeing your manuscript in print.
00:16:10.000At first the story seems completely unbelievable until you realize how actually low the standards are of what counts as evidence in 2018.
00:16:16.000Uh, I think particularly in recent weeks, like the latest smear against Kavanaugh used by, more recently, the most recent, have you heard the recent one?
00:18:26.000By the way, if you're subscribed, hit the notification bell, because subscriptions don't mean anything apparently on YouTube anymore.
00:18:30.000Join Mug Club so we get the daily show.

00:18:39.000We did the Change My Mind at TCU this Monday, and it was one of the biggest ones that we have ever done, and we're very grateful, except immediately afterward, the reaction on Twitter was somewhat predictable.
00:18:54.000Let's just read some of the reactions here that you see from TCU.
00:18:57.000For those who didn't see the video, we sat down.
00:20:13.000His views adversely affected many members of our campus community.
00:20:17.000The health and safety of the Horned Frog family is of the utmost importance, and we encourage individuals to contact Campus Resources for support.
00:20:25.000Then another tweet from them in support of survivors of sexual assault at TCU, SGA set up in front of the founder statue today to promote the It's On Us campaign.
00:20:36.000TCU does not follow Steven Crowder on Twitter.
00:20:40.000I'm really glad they made the point to say that.
00:21:17.000Apparently their job is to create an academic social environment so that people can learn unless you have a different point of view right a Legitimate different point of view and you're not out there saying rape is cool and holding up signs.
00:21:28.000You're saying hey guys Let's have a conversation about rape culture.
00:22:02.000And so then finally I go, okay, can I speak now?
00:22:04.000I said, well, listen, if we're talking about Dr. Christine Ford and her allegations of Brett Kavanaugh, I start going, bing, bing, bing, bing.
00:22:10.000And she just goes, okay, well, so maybe you know these things.
00:22:14.000Officers, can we have him released from campus?
00:22:17.000And she literally just starts screaming at the cops.
00:22:20.000The second, you can see the moment in her eyes, the second she realizes that she wasn't entirely correct.
00:22:26.000Here's what's funny, there's a letter to the students and faculty from someone named Catherine Tull.
00:22:52.000She wrote, yesterday was an interesting and difficult day for our campus community.
00:22:56.000Many watched and some participated as Stephen Crowder, a self-proclaimed conservative political commentator, actor, and comedian engaged passerby.
00:28:20.000The reason we're going to rebut this video here is not just because of the play count, but it's so emblematic, I think, of how, like you just said, how the left argues, particularly in 2018.
00:28:28.000The first major problem with this video, it's about sexual assault, and it's actually about why Kavanaugh accusers can't remember.
00:28:38.000So, we'll get into why, just like the kid said in the Change My Mind, our views are so nuanced, we couldn't possibly be expected to articulate them effectively.
00:28:47.000So, the first major problem with this video is it assumes that the assaults happened, and then works from that premise, beginning with, going back to, Clarence Thomas.
00:28:56.000He spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals, and films showing group sex or rape scenes.
00:29:07.000This is a clip from the 1991 hearing of Anita Hill.
00:29:10.000Straight black woman followed by a gay Latino male.
00:30:28.000Then they go on to say this here at Vox.
00:30:31.000Twenty years later, history is repeating itself.
00:30:34.000Yeah, I can tell by your shirt, you jackass.
00:30:39.000I guess history is repeating itself in the sense that the allegations against Thomas were a completely baseless smear campaign.
00:30:44.000He was confirmed and it's pretty well known that Anita Hill was lying.
00:30:47.000Am I the only one who actually, when I finally found out about the Clarence Thomas thing, it was, who put this pubic hair in the Diet Coke can?
00:31:39.000Actually, what they found out was that Ford has zero case, okay?
00:31:42.000So, Rachel Mitchell, really basic white girl name, easy to forget.
00:31:45.000She wrote, in the legal context, here's my bottom line.
00:31:48.000A he said, she said case is incredibly difficult to prove, but this case is even weaker than Dr. Ford identified, uh, than that, because Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event.
00:31:55.000Those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them.
00:31:58.000For the reasons discussed below, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before committee, nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance of the evidence standard.
00:32:08.000This, by the way, would be an, you know how OJ was not guilty in criminal, but guilty in civil?
00:35:34.000Next clip, clip F. We have this expectation that for an allegation to be credible, the victim has to be able to recall exactly what happened to them in detail.
00:35:44.000Most of us think memory works like a video camera, accurately recording events we see and hear so that we can review them later.
00:35:50.000So if a victim can't remember certain details, we view them as suspicious.
00:37:23.000Am I getting, am I getting this right right now?
00:37:25.000Let's, let's rewind the clip really quickly.
00:37:28.000A Washington Post columnist even suggested that Ford might have Kavanaugh confused with a lookalike, asking, is there a Kavanaugh doppelganger?
00:38:23.000He signed an album for me, but I couldn't even go up and see him.
00:38:26.000I didn't really want to meet Rich Little.
00:38:28.000I wasn't eager to meet him, but yeah, they were like, yeah, getting bumped for the guy, and he just goes, hey, have you guys heard my Reagan?
00:38:32.000I'm like, oh my god, this is like in 2007.
00:39:29.000By the way, I think it's hilarious that they put her up there with Anita Hill on that because it's been proven, like you said earlier, that she was lying.
00:39:34.000So are you saying by putting her up there next to that picture that she's also lying?
00:39:53.000None of this is to say that we shouldn't question or investigate allegations of sexual assault.
00:39:58.000An investigation is exactly what Kavanaugh's accusers are asking for.
00:40:02.000But as long as we expect trauma victims to have crystal clear memories of what happened, we're going to keep finding reasons to doubt them, regardless of how credible their allegations are.
00:40:42.000Are we just going to forget, by the way, that Feinstein sat in a letter for a month not asking for an investigation while the hearings went on?
00:40:46.000They don't want an investigation, they want a circus!
00:40:48.000And this is why I wanted to rebut this video.
00:40:50.000We have Senator Ted Cruz coming up after the break.
00:40:53.000It's emblematic of how the left argues.
00:40:56.000It's not just about the guilty until proven innocent.
00:40:59.000It's that they couldn't possibly be burdened to prove their argument.
00:41:01.000First, they want everything based on the survivor's memory instead of the evidence.
00:41:04.000Then if we question the survivor's memories to get the truth, they say that memory can't be relied upon.
00:41:07.000And then it's like this change my mind sad boy in the jogger.
00:43:20.000Every time someone, every nasty insult, so for every lefty out there, let me see, if you actually have something clever and funny, I'll like read it to the team.
00:43:27.000Like if someone's like, you know, F you.
00:43:28.000It's like, okay, well that's very special.
00:43:32.000A good insult that stings is really funny.
00:44:02.000One was, I think QB Garrett knows, someone insulted me one time, said something like, this is about as terrible as that zit that Crowder tried to clearly cover up.
00:44:47.000And we're seeing that spill out everywhere you look.
00:44:49.000I mean, we're seeing it, you know, this this past week, Heidi and I were confronted by screaming protesters having dinner in Washington and basically shut the restaurant down by screaming and yelling and surrounding us.
00:45:02.000And we see that kind of nastiness just growing and growing and growing.
00:45:07.000Well, that kind of energy, politically it's dangerous, because what it means is tens of millions of dollars are flooding into the state of Texas.
00:45:15.000If you're on the far left and you can defeat one Republican in the country who's on the ballot, it'd be me.
00:45:20.000And so they're flooding the state with cash.
00:45:25.000Well, if your goal is to defeat an actual consistent conservative Republican, yeah, you know, they would be going after you.
00:45:31.000And that's what bothers me about this so much.
00:45:33.000And I don't really think it's nearly as close as the media is trying to cover it, but you're not going to get a prime spot on Ellen the same way.
00:45:38.000It's amazing that these people who would never pay attention to this race are putting all of this momentum behind a guy just to put him within, you know, I mean, how close do you really think this is?
00:45:48.000Do you think it's an example of Trump where it won't even be close to the polls?
00:46:16.000We have a good 10 million liberals in the state of Texas.
00:46:17.000Now, conservatives outnumber them, but, you know, go down to Austin and, you know, Travis County is filled with as left-wing people as you'll find anywhere, and there are a lot of them.
00:46:27.000And right now, you know, anger is a dangerous motivator.
00:47:18.000The danger on the right, if you look at the center-right coalition of conservatives, libertarians, independents, is one or two percent are miffed about one thing and one or two percent are miffed about something else.
00:47:30.000Now, I do think these Kavanaugh hearings may be changing.
00:47:32.000I was going to ask, do you think that that changes the whole landscape here?
00:47:36.000Really in the last, I would say the last week, because when it started out it was hashtag me too, it was riding it off that wave, and now with the inconsistencies, I see a lot of people going, you know what, they might be re-rolling this guy.
00:47:47.000To give you an idea, Clarence Thomas, that incident is what made Andrew Breitbart a conservative.
00:47:51.000He tuned in, he said, I tuned in to watch this guy get his, and I finished watching it saying, oh my god, this is a modern day lynching.
00:47:58.000This was Andrew Breitbart who said this.
00:48:02.000I think last week was a circus that was new lows for Washington.
00:48:07.000And I do think there's a real difference between how the two parties handled it.
00:48:12.000Once the allegations broke, I thought it was important that we give Dr. Ford an opportunity to tell her story, that it be fair, and that she be treated with respect.
00:48:22.000And I think that's what the committee did.
00:48:24.000I think she had an opportunity to tell her story, and she was treated with respect.
00:48:27.000I also thought it was critical that Judge Kavanaugh be given an opportunity to defend himself.
00:48:33.000And that he'd be treated with respect, and that didn't happen.
00:48:36.000The Senate Democrats, they were so consumed with partisan politics, they were so consumed with just nastiness, that they were willing to smear this guy, to smear him, his family, to just... And the hearing became a circus.
00:50:44.000And in a court of law, typically when you've got conflicting testimony, the way you resolve that is you look to, all right, what's the corroborating evidence?
00:50:51.000What does the other evidence demonstrate in terms of which story is accurate?
00:50:55.000In this instance, Dr. Ford identified three fact witnesses.
00:51:00.000All three gave statements to the Judiciary Committee under penalty of perjury.
00:51:03.000So if they were lying, they faced five years in prison.
00:51:20.000We didn't see any of them seemingly concerned with what was true.
00:51:24.000They were on a search-and-destroy mission.
00:51:25.000I saw Cory Booker asking Brett Kavanaugh if he ever drinks on weekdays.
00:51:29.000And I will tell you, people who see this will go, okay, alright, this is where I get off the train.
00:51:32.000Let me ask you this, how do you think this relates, finally, we do have to let, I know you're busy and you have to get to the airport, to this election.
00:51:37.000I noticed, I watched the debates, obviously not as many people watch these debates as the presidential debates, but for people who didn't watch it, huge contrast, you were talking about policy, How well Texas has done in comparison to further left states and your opponent, Woodo Pine, get very emotional.
00:51:53.000Talk about how he's had a DUI and talk about how everyone needs to be given a second chance.
00:51:56.000Have you noticed that he's doing, obviously not accusing anyone of rape, but it's that similar emotional grandstanding?
00:52:02.000That's the contrast that I see in this election.
00:52:04.000Well look, there's a lot of pattern on the far left where they try to be, they try to manipulate people with emotion and they avoid facts or logic or reason.
00:52:13.000If you look at every couple of days, we see a media puff piece of Beto O'Rourke, and it's all rainbows and puppies.
00:52:22.000It's just, oh, look at his hair, look at his teeth.
00:55:08.000Many of you are not yet members of MugClub.

00:55:33.000These things take days and days to carry out, and a lot of people here who depend on MugClub because, you know, we're not making enough off YouTube anymore.

00:55:45.000If you can't be bothered to, then, you know, probably won't be around that much longer.
00:58:32.000We have a great week of shows here next week.
00:58:35.000You know, here's the thing I wanted to talk about, because I definitely do think that we always talk about how sort of toxic politics has become and how angry people are.
00:58:42.000And I want to bring it back to the fact that there's nothing wrong with anger.
00:58:44.000There's nothing wrong with righteous anger.
00:58:47.000And I certainly think that being falsely labeled a rapist would qualify.
00:58:54.000When you were a kid, you didn't look up to your dad because he was sweet or because he had nice clothes.
00:59:00.000Your dad was worth his salt because he felt safe, if you had a good dad.
00:59:05.000Or even more so, I would say that, certainly like with my dad, it's because he made everyone around him feel safer.
00:59:10.000So this is actually something I'd like to talk about with both the deadbeat men out there and the women who tolerate deadbeat men.
00:59:16.000First, to all the feminists who bitch about toxic masculinity and rape culture, and that's what they're shrieking about today, let me make this really simple.
01:00:15.000Very seldom are they dangerous by themselves.
01:00:17.000But in a pack, they become ruthless, emboldened killers.
01:00:19.000And that's what you have to protect yourself against.
01:00:21.000The pack of wolves can come in the form of a pitchfork mob, the trial by public opinion, the gossipers in your church, the gaggle of so-called friends who betray you when you thought they wouldn't, peer pressure.
01:00:30.000Hell, it could actually be a gang of rapists.
01:00:34.000The pack of wolves could be a gang of rapists.
01:00:37.000But this whole rape witch hunt, it's a throwing away of due process right now.
01:00:41.000It's indicative of a society with both men and women who don't know what a man is supposed to be.
01:00:48.000And I know now the feminists are going, no, no, listen, this is just as much for women as it is for men.
01:00:53.000It is more important for society right now to know what a man needs to be.
01:00:58.000And that means not just for himself, but for his woman and for his family.
01:02:25.000How am I supposed to believe that you're going to stand up for anything?
01:02:29.000You don't even stand for anything yourself!
01:02:31.000You came up to this desk and you said, well, I'm really not prepared.
01:02:34.000Shut up and go home and learn to be prepared, because a man should be prepared, if you believe in anything.
01:02:39.000And this isn't some false machismo bullcrap, okay?
01:02:42.000I'm asking you, women, genuinely, what kind of a man do you want when the wolves are at the door?
01:02:46.000If you're at a party, you're uncomfortable with some douchebags around, they're drinking too much, you're feeling a little vulnerable, who do you want there with you?
01:02:57.000Let's say your supposed best friend at work betrayed you, tossed her lot on with the rest of the gaggle in the office, and they got you to be fired from your job.
01:03:04.000Okay, I'm just trying to think of some example that's not as extreme as rape, but rape is on the mind.
01:03:07.000Everything is rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape these days.
01:03:10.000Lie a whore, lie a whore, and you know it.
01:08:05.000He's the guy I would reach for as a buddy when the wolves are at the door.
01:08:08.000And that's the kind of man you want to be to your woman, to your friends, and if you're a woman out there, that's the kind of man you want in your life.
01:08:15.000And ironically, when we see this all the time, even though I believe you're strong, independent women like my wife is, like Johnny Boy's wife is, like my mother is, the only ones who are so weak that they have to scream to be heard are the liberal feminists.
01:08:29.000Are the people like the Fords of the world?
01:08:31.000Are the people like we saw it that changed my mind?
