Transcript
00:00:00.000
i have hated ann coulter i guess going on 25 years i mean for most of my life
00:00:10.000
in fact i have found her utterly repellent you've hated her longer than i've been alive
00:00:16.960
that is true that is true when you were an inkling in your father's eye i hated this
00:00:23.040
bitch and she's just terrible like every possible opinion that she has is bad and i'm sorry i don't
00:00:34.880
care that she belatedly jumped on the build the wall train it just doesn't matter and she's way
00:00:44.880
off that train at this point showing that what she said earlier didn't really have substance to it
00:00:50.480
and so she she made her name with a book that i believe was called like high crimes and misdemeanors
00:00:59.040
and it was a book on the impeachment impeachment of bill clinton so that's where she's coming from
00:01:04.400
she's coming from the gingrich era of obsession with bill clinton bill clinton was largely a successful
00:01:14.720
president if we're honest and they just hated him for it and they hated him even more because of that
00:01:22.400
the fact that he would triangulate towards their position made them hate him they just hated the
00:01:28.800
hell out of them and there's actually a lot of interesting precedents going forward that started
00:01:33.920
out at that point then we had 9 11 and she wrote an article for national review that said we should
00:01:42.960
bomb all muslim cities and convert them to christianity now maybe you could excuse you know
00:01:50.640
you can definitely excuse the emotion involved in writing that she did write it she didn't say it
00:01:57.040
but you could maybe excuse the emotion uh that was a little too hot for national review like a lot of
00:02:02.800
and then we're like whoa now but the fact is that kind of attitude led to all the things that she now
00:02:13.280
hates so she was skeptical about going into afghanistan to give her some credit here because
00:02:21.680
afghanistan it's where empires go to die you can't rule that country etc she was not skeptical about the iraq war
00:02:29.520
and so these people are radically wrong on matters and then they just kind of like
00:02:39.120
keep moving forward and going with the flow and picking up the next hot populist opinion
00:02:46.480
so she was a terror warrior she did like she went to cpac and talked about how you can like
00:02:53.040
get your professor um thrown in jail or fired if he's too sympathetic towards muslims or he's
00:03:01.200
a traitor or something so just all of this uh you know mccarthyite bush era nonsense she was involved with
00:03:11.280
um she denies darwin uh she wrote a book she writes all these books all the time she wrote a book about how
00:03:20.320
you know the only thing that supports darwinism is that moth experiment that we all learned in high
00:03:27.520
school if i remember correctly it was like there was uh you know genes for a gray moth and genes
00:03:33.920
for a bright white moth and when there's more smog um the gray moths are able to camouflage and thus they
00:03:41.280
are more likely to survive in this past on their genes etc she's like oh this is all they've got
00:03:46.960
this doesn't make any sense uh darwin was a racist he led to hitler he led to hitler and this kind of
00:03:56.480
fucking bullshit religious right nonsense i don't even know what her actual religious beliefs are
00:04:05.120
but she does things that pander to that audience and that audience is gigantic you don't understand
00:04:14.560
how big the religious right is in terms of money like just tens of millions a hundred million for
00:04:22.480
focus on the family in the 90s these were gigantic organizations that did a lot of harm actually and
00:04:31.840
they're not just like grassroots good people who have good intentions and what no it's a massive big
00:04:41.440
business and industry that is full of crap and should just be simply rejected anyway she pandered to
00:04:49.600
them she's a like just off the shelf conservative except she's hardcore about it and then around 2014
00:05:00.000
she discovers immigration and probably by reading steve sailor and peter brimelow i would imagine
00:05:07.760
although i don't know because she seemed to pick up a lot of those memes and so she becomes this trump
00:05:13.200
era you know if we don't stop immigration now we won't have a country by 2020 and uh she in 2014
00:05:21.920
she did a speech at cpac where she goes if we don't stop immigration now there'll be conservative
00:05:27.360
death squads that will take revenge i mean it's the kind of just maybe it's sort of funny but it's just
00:05:34.640
cheap nonsense you know it's like where are these death squads like why don't you join a death squad
00:05:40.480
why don't you like do we have a country now you know i don't know you're now a desantis supporter
00:05:47.120
for 2020 or 2024 or 2024 2028 like so do we have a country i don't know maybe your rhetoric is just
00:05:54.400
kind of overheated and full of shit so this is who this bitch is i hate her voice um we can go through
00:06:03.040
this i found the youtube video of her like just obviously incorrect assessment of the civil rights
00:06:15.520
the civil rights administration she basically supports civil rights and she thinks that it's
00:06:19.920
a republican thing and the democrats are racist she is a originator pioneer of the dems are the real
00:06:26.800
racist kind of thing so she's this bad in terms of her thinking and yet she gets credit for like
00:06:34.400
being racist and from the dissident right or whatever and my point is like yeah she's racist in the way that
00:06:44.240
most middle class and and rich whites in the south are racist it means nothing it is a
00:06:53.600
it's like they might as well like have an opinion on food or movies or something because that's all it
00:07:01.440
is it's this cheap meaningless basically dispensable opinion that they have um about they just don't like
00:07:12.880
black or brown people but it has no consequence to it it is race baiting which is article i wrote like 12
00:07:23.120
years ago or something one of my favorite articles because i just i located what this thing is they
00:07:29.280
want to talk they want to bait race they want to talk to you about you know the great replacement theory
00:07:36.160
or whatever they want to do nothing uh and then continue to talk to you about it so that you vote for
00:07:42.320
them enot powell located this he said in an interview on the bbc they want to talk about it they want to talk
00:07:49.200
about the immigration crisis and benefit from the crisis and they do nothing about it in fact
00:07:54.000
they're incentivized to do nothing about it because then they wouldn't have the talking point
00:07:58.480
abortion's another one where i've been seeing these things because they pass over my twitter feed
00:08:03.520
of her saying oh well you know abortion isn't really totally illegal so don't get out of hand and
00:08:09.760
you know the republicans should stop talking about abortion because that we've seen all these referenda
00:08:15.840
it's a loser issue whatever it's like and you talked about this for decades as of trump you started
00:08:24.800
to like lift off the pedal and say oh it doesn't matter i don't care trump performs an abortion in the
00:08:30.640
white house lawn you know we should still vote for him because this is so important well okay but you can
00:08:38.000
change i get that but you're entire the vast majority of your political career was promoting
00:08:45.840
this issue and then when you win you want to pull back and pretend like it didn't happen or pretend like
00:08:52.240
you didn't support all of these things so regardless of how you feel about abortion it's just a
00:08:57.920
a completely unserious way of acting and i just i i don't know i could go on i just hate this
00:09:09.440
bitch she's never been on the right side of anything she's constantly wrong she's a horrible way of
00:09:16.960
thinking she ultimately doesn't like the distant her dissident right fans to the extent that they still
00:09:23.280
exist she doesn't like interview people because like what she wants is the southern strategy what she
00:09:31.200
wants are like boring white men on stage talking about you know tax cuts and uh you know maybe like
00:09:41.600
ronald reagan giving a speech at some legendary civil rights era place and talking about tax cuts and
00:09:49.520
welfare queens and basically just using this issue so that she can promote her republican crap
00:09:59.680
that's all she is and i don't know she's actually not that hot as well like she's never been she's all
00:10:08.240
always been this like weird mannish horse face bitch so anyway have i conveyed the fact that i hate her
00:10:20.080
hopefully i have i'll just let her speak for herself so this is back during the confederate flag
00:10:26.720
controversy in south carolina she plays this double game she she takes two totally incoherent opinions
00:10:34.400
in order to pander to people so on the one hand she says nikki haley shouldn't ban the confederate flag
00:10:40.480
on the state house because she doesn't understand what it means to be an american or something like that
00:10:46.480
so this race baiting oh she's indian yeah we get it and why don't you just call her out for being indian
00:10:52.560
as opposed to doing this but anyway and then she also says that it's actually the republican it's only
00:11:00.160
democrats who are racist your thoughts on some of the debates uh that have sprung up in this country
00:11:09.680
since the charleston shooting we began this morning talking with our viewers about the confederate flag
00:11:14.800
issue and whether it should be removed from the south carolina capital grounds what are your thoughts
00:11:19.120
on that debate i think it's completely moronic i mean this is an awful thing that happened in
00:11:27.360
charleston luckily it's quite rare um but to jump on this and go back to you know a litany of of liberal
00:11:38.880
talking points that make republicans look bad how about banning the democratic party they were the
00:11:44.720
ones who who supported who were on the um confederate side of the civil war they were the ones who supported
00:11:51.040
segregation for 100 years if we want to do something nice for black people how about um ending
00:11:57.120
immigration which is dumping millions of low-wage workers on the country taking jobs from african
00:12:04.000
americans as innumerable studies have shown i mean there are all sorts of nice things you could be
00:12:08.880
doing here going back to the confederate flag in south carolina which i might add um contrary to
00:12:14.880
everything you will hear on television was not adopted by south carolina because they were opposed to
00:12:20.560
civil rights i kept hearing that on msnbc last night um but they were saying 1962 well in
00:12:26.320
1962 as you read in detail a few books back of mine mugged racial demagoguery from the 70s to obama
00:12:35.040
it's a terrible book it was the democrats opposing eisenhower and nixon's aggressive civil rights laws
00:12:41.440
it was 100 democrats um supporting insisting on segregation um the civil rights bills proposed by
00:12:48.800
nixon were blocked by the sainted lyndon b johnson for years it wasn't two years later that johnson figured
00:12:56.400
out um it would be an electoral advantage to him to propose his own civil rights okay so what is she
00:13:03.200
arguing here because this is just like the most incoherent gobbledygook i think i've ever heard in fact
00:13:11.520
that so yes the the confederate battle flag the stars and bars went out of fashion for a while
00:13:20.400
there say um post uh certainly post the civil war post reconstruction in the 20th century of a revival
00:13:30.000
of the the in the late 19th and 20th century of a revival of the lost cause myth a lot of these statues
00:13:36.560
were being uh built uh built and so on but the confederate flag started to play a big role during
00:13:45.280
the burgeoning civil rights struggle as she said so she's i guess she's saying that it wasn't about
00:13:52.640
1964 it was about 1962 or something like that and the eisenhower in the 50s uh eisenhower and his
00:14:04.560
republican vice president were putting forth civil rights bills which is absolutely true
00:14:09.600
and these were blocked by lbj who um was a texas senator and a southern state and they were blocking
00:14:21.280
this so all of that is true but it's like so are these civil rights things good or are they bad because
00:14:27.840
it was actually lbj who did the big one that we that is now the paradigm for today so is that
00:14:34.320
good or bad when republicans do civil rights are they freedom fighters but then when democrats do
00:14:40.240
it they're kind of like lying hypocritical you know no good baddies or like what are you arguing for are
00:14:49.040
you against the civil rights movement or are you for it do you want to blame eisenhower for pursuing
00:14:54.000
civil rights is that what your argument because he used government force national guard to
00:15:01.040
desegregate schools is that a good thing and is that a bad thing i mean it's just ridiculous that
00:15:07.120
she says this kind of stuff and in terms of realignment yes there is this like secular
00:15:15.040
social science consensus on realignment that i don't know how you could conceivably be against it
00:15:23.760
i mean it's just so obvious of people and their uh children who would say vote for the dixie crats in
00:15:33.760
1948 and but were staunch remain staunch democrats even after that failed and then with goldwater you
00:15:43.200
had someone who opposed the civil rights act in goldwater's case on libertarian grounds and he was
00:15:48.960
was thus making outreach to southerners on that basis even though he was not a southern racist himself
00:15:58.560
he's making outreach there and he only wins in arizona his home state in the deep south
00:16:05.840
in a landslide defeat to lbj as time went on there was a gradual realignment where all of these former
00:16:16.880
democrat segregationists switched parties um strom thurman just changed parties at one point is the
00:16:27.280
the fact that lbj changed his mind or his policy and legendarily said after the civil rights act we've
00:16:34.880
lost the south for another 100 years or so he said something like that perhaps that was i'm not it might
00:16:41.600
be apocryphal but anyway he made a calculation that he has to go with the flow and move away from
00:16:50.560
southern racists or republicans were much more likely to support civil rights and so the people who were
00:16:59.120
staunchly segregationists switched and after that by the late 70s into the 80s all of these former
00:17:10.320
segregationists jerry falwell being an excellent example uh emerged into the religious right so now
00:17:19.680
they don't you know they lost those battles bob jones university can't uh be a not-for-profit
00:17:27.120
church or whatever it's got if it's going to be segregated so they lost all these battles and then they
00:17:33.200
slowly discover that what they really care about is prayer in school or abortion something by the
00:17:40.320
way they never cared about until the 80s southern baptist convert convention endorsed roe v wade decision
00:17:48.560
explicitly at the time none of these people talked about abortion until the 80s in fact as they lost the
00:17:55.200
racial battle and then moved to the culture war there's just no way that any serious person
00:18:04.640
can deny that that is what's happening but apparently ann coulter thinks that republicans are a race
00:18:12.800
and the democrats are also a race and so we should understand this issue as the democratic race you
00:18:20.640
know it's in your dna you can test for it prenatally you know if that person's a democrat the democratic
00:18:27.120
race is still racist i guess isn't that a logical implication do you see how this is just total nonsense
00:18:36.560
she knows it's not right she's just dumping cement down the garbage disposal because i think
00:18:40.880
if she's it's very nihilistic it's like she knows stupid people will buy this hook line and sinker
00:18:45.920
right and you know if just some 105 iq guy watching fox news will just start regurgitating this i mean
00:18:50.880
like that actually does have an impact on the body politic and it's it's yeah gross and bad and stupid
00:18:57.040
but i mean these people are nihilistic and we have to understand about the republican party is at the
00:19:00.480
highest level it's it's dominated by a certain cast of like very um very cynical lawyers who like
00:19:09.200
everything about that is just optimized for winning but like they they really don't even have value so to
00:19:14.080
speak uh you know like like really everything is about everything is about winning and like they'll
00:19:19.120
try to justify things on the grounds of like abortion or you know sometimes they'll move it
00:19:22.720
in a more sort of tribalist direction but like at the end of the day these people are just incredibly
00:19:26.240
nihilistic and uh like there's something very sinister there and i think that white nationalists
00:19:30.880
or identitarians or whatever who are more like formalist and who who are probably much less just
00:19:35.040
sort of bigoted and and uh like hateful in their day-to-day behavior towards minorities they need to
00:19:41.200
really condemn the sort of behavior intellectually serious white nationalists need to need to denounce
00:19:46.480
ann like full-throatedly oh yeah she is the worst and i'm glad that like she attacked nick fuentes
00:19:55.760
and so um he is attacked so that's gonna rub off on his group of people as well so he's attacking her back
00:20:03.600
but it's it's like if you want to know what is like block if you are a nationalist i'm you know i'm kind
00:20:12.720
of weird in my own way i have other concerns but if you are a coherent white nationalist or american
00:20:19.680
nationalist or whatever that face on your screen is the thing that is standing directly in front of you
00:20:29.440
preventing you from moving forward that face and voice that is the most immediate object that is
00:20:39.040
preventing you from advancement period end of statement and if you think that she is on like
00:20:45.920
secretly on your side or she secretly loves you or whatever you really don't get it
00:20:51.680
and even beyond that her opinions are stupid you know it's like even like her her like foreign policy
00:21:02.480
is just stupid and it's so it's just like all right you have no redeemed qualities actually and
00:21:12.400
i was just going to remark upon uh what the crux for argument is there in that segment is and it's a
00:21:18.400
common one with with culture is what about ism um i mean just to get back to what what it was all
00:21:26.400
about right she said well you know the flag what about i mean she she literally uh introduces it
00:21:34.720
but um but what's curious about the uh because i i know it's become something of like a meme of you
00:21:43.360
you know like the dems are a racist sort of thing but that that argument if you deconstruct it in a
00:21:50.320
i don't know like in like a foucault kind of way there there actually is something there to
00:21:55.680
yeah um to to understand which is that she has to in in some way um in her presentation of this what
00:22:06.800
about ism she has to justify the um sort of all of our hands are dirty sort of mentality of of the
00:22:16.720
current political discourse right so by saying well yeah but it was the you know the democratic party was
00:22:23.760
the dominant party of the south and the confederacy right you know i mean what about them right if we're
00:22:28.320
going to erase all of history obviously though and you don't have to be like a really um profound
00:22:35.920
thinker to see the um contradiction here is that this is never reversed on republicans who
00:22:43.920
were if if we're going to be comparing uh comparable historical periods were the big government party
00:22:51.440
they were the abolitionist party they were the elitist liberal party i mean the all of the major
00:23:00.000
republicans were from new england um to some extent the the middle west or the the midwest uh
00:23:10.160
major definitely during during the uh yeah during the fdr coalition the plain states what were
00:23:17.520
well i'm going i'm going all the way back to to to the civil war even so you know yes well but
00:23:24.880
correct i mean as as recently as the great depression this was the arrangement um and this is
00:23:33.920
these are all things that they obviously you know at least uh purportedly have to be
00:23:40.320
uh against ostensibly is big government elitism um and that i mean if there was any political party
00:23:50.960
that ever exhibited that that was the republican party from the 1860s to the 1920s par excellence
00:23:58.560
um they they they waged a war to to you know further these these political ideals uh it wasn't
00:24:07.360
impractical so at any rate my point is that they they never they never turn the mirror back so if
00:24:11.840
they're gonna look at a historical period looking at the democratic party um they don't do it to
00:24:17.600
themselves but there's a reason for that and it's not because it's just some glaring you know um
00:24:24.320
contradiction in their thinking it's because uh to whom would you need to apologize for the
00:24:30.880
republican's political past no one i mean except for current republicans but you wouldn't need to
00:24:37.840
apologize to liberals for that so even when she does things like this she is this this is actually
00:24:45.840
whenever people talk about um the the the faults of what about ism in debate it's not because it's so
00:24:52.640
much of a logical fallacy because it's actually kind of in a gray area between because it's not
00:24:57.280
necessarily a logical policy because you can follow logic and say well what about um in in comparing
00:25:03.280
uh comparable wrongs but what it does do and this is why it should be avoided in discourse is because
00:25:10.000
it it concedes the your your opponent's uh ethical parameters exactly you you're saying you say you're
00:25:20.160
saying no that in fact these yes i can see these are the parameters in which we are operating
00:25:26.400
and that is exactly what occurs whenever she does something like this surrendering the past before
00:25:31.520
the battle begins so embedded her nothing that she says makes sense outside of the civil rights myth
00:25:41.440
like it's it's gobbledygook no no doubt but it only like has rhetorical power if you believe that
00:25:48.240
like you know there's this terrible thing called segregation and mlk saved us from it and jackie
00:25:54.640
robinson and all that like like like that's it exists within that and makes zero sense is is like
00:26:03.440
actual nonsense like not even understandable outside of that so everything she says is reinforcing her
00:26:12.160
enemy's ethical parameters yeah i mean that's that's essentially it what um what i was going to add
00:26:20.080
there at the end though is that it's not so when we talk about this is something that started to
00:26:28.080
come up on the internet and i'm happy that it did um ultimately is sort of framing uh conservatives you
00:26:35.040
know in in scare quotes as uh you know just the liberals of you know 20 years ago or you know however
00:26:41.120
long you feel like making the time frame uh which is correct because and that's in in some ways sort of
00:26:47.600
just the nature of any reactionary movement but particularly it's particularly poignant when it
00:26:52.960
comes to uh um american the the american right wing if if you want to call it that the the republican
00:27:00.880
party but people always it's like they they want to illustrate that dynamic with the most extreme
00:27:10.000
sort of instantiations of it so uh you'll and not to say that they're not true but it it kind of
00:27:18.560
makes you gloss over a broader point which i think is important to the dialectic because
00:27:23.520
if you just look at um say republican overall acceptance of um homosexuality and and gay marriage
00:27:33.680
rights and stuff like that and you say look you know just 20 years ago they were against this and
00:27:38.480
now look now they're saying this is what we're for we're just not for that transgender stuff
00:27:42.320
wow while there's an ounce of truth to that obviously those glaring exceptions don't illustrate
00:27:50.400
the pervasiveness of the issue because ultimately what's really uh illustrative of this dynamic
00:27:58.720
is exactly the type of arguments that people like and culture make when they concede those those
00:28:05.440
ethical parameters historically speaking and engage in this sort of revisionism especially as selectively
00:28:12.240
as they do because that is precisely what prevents any sort of intellectualism from uh you know being
00:28:21.200
born out of a out of the right wing and this is this is uh the dynamics of power it's not about someone
00:28:30.320
you know uh looking up and seeing a certain face you know with a with a boot on their head um it's it's
00:28:36.720
in it's in these little things that permeate all of discourse and they're not gonna be the glaring obvious
00:28:44.960
examples that one can point out they're gonna be these these dumb fucking things uh that um are the
00:28:51.280
the fundament of the argument of someone like and culture which may seem even though it seems far-fetched
00:28:57.600
to us um that may seem relatively reasonable to um the average listener and it's stunting because not that
00:29:10.640
not that the average listener who is going to be convinced by and culture would have been some um
00:29:15.280
um you know leviathan of uh you know a greater movement somewhere along the line obviously their
00:29:23.200
their uh predilection to belief in whatever it is that she's saying would have precluded them from that
00:29:28.560
but nonetheless it's it it does frustrate just any sort of um original discussion about anything that
00:29:40.400
doesn't immediately fall back into a preconditioned um set of ethical parameters that could be had on
00:29:49.680
the farthest left wing so if ann coulter is someone that people see as well it's like well yeah she
00:29:56.400
doesn't agree with everything that that we're saying but at least she's saying this one thing or vivek
00:30:01.120
ramashwamy he's saying this one thing saying this one thing doesn't matter if the entire framework
00:30:07.840
for having a discussion in the first place is just already pre-structured you know yeah like that
00:30:14.880
that doesn't do anything and it needs to be avoided where it can be and called out where it should be
00:30:21.040
because you know like you just said she's actually the first obstacle it's not some uh blue-haired uh black
00:30:30.160
girl who's protesting you know whatever it is that the university that's not the first obstacle if she even
00:30:37.760
is one in the first place it's p it's precisely people like ann and a brand yeah and and all no it's
00:30:45.600
excellent and it's to go a little bit deeper on what you're saying like it's ann coulter is why
00:30:53.760
there isn't an intellectual right of any substance and it really is because of her and people like her
00:31:03.520
and yeah i'm sure to go back to what walt besmark said a little while ago it's like yeah i'm sure
00:31:08.640
on centrist democrats you also have a bunch of cynical lawyers you know uh angling for power and
00:31:16.720
just reading all these polls and etc etc i i get it that that's what their that's what a political party is
00:31:22.400
like but the left also has a coherent worldview and people engaging in discussions and debates
00:31:33.920
within this worldview and advancing it and they do have that and that is one of the reasons why
00:31:41.680
they're hegemonic the right doesn't have anything close to that because that is active and fun and
00:31:50.000
funded and engaging in things that are actually reaching people and even uh trickling down to policy
00:31:57.680
etc we we don't have that because we have people like ann and i just yeah i have nothing more to
00:32:09.440
to say i i just i hate i i truly am a hater i hate women like that or men like that
00:32:17.920
so much more than i hate like some fukodian you know laced deconstructionist at cal berkeley
00:32:29.040
because at least there's something there's like a discourse you can engage with even in disagreement
00:32:37.520
with and there's no there's no like discussion it's just like liberals are lying we're the real
00:32:44.880
democrats or whatever there's just no point in even engaging in something that is that just like
