RadixJournal - Nasty Women

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 0.98

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 1.00

00:00:34.880 care that she belatedly jumped on the build the wall train it just doesn't matter and she's way 1.00

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 0.98

00:01:42.960 bomb all muslim cities and convert them to christianity now maybe you could excuse you know 1.00

00:01:50.640 you can definitely excuse the emotion involved in writing that she did write it she didn't say it 0.98

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 0.87

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 0.87

00:03:01.200 a traitor or something so just all of this uh you know mccarthyite bush era nonsense she was involved with 0.97

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 0.99

00:03:56.480 fucking bullshit religious right nonsense i don't even know what her actual religious beliefs are 0.99

00:04:05.120 but she does things that pander to that audience and that audience is gigantic you don't understand 1.00

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 0.95

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 0.98

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 0.61

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 0.86

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 0.75

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:06:03.040 this i found the youtube video of her like just obviously incorrect assessment of the civil rights 1.00

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 0.85

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 0.78

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 0.85

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 0.99

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 1.00

00:09:16.960 thinking she ultimately doesn't like the distant her dissident right fans to the extent that they still 0.99

00:09:23.280 exist she doesn't like interview people because like what she wants is the southern strategy what she 1.00

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 0.99

00:09:49.520 welfare queens and basically just using this issue so that she can promote her republican crap 1.00

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 1.00

00:10:08.240 always been this like weird mannish horse face bitch so anyway have i conveyed the fact that i hate her 1.00

00:10:20.080 hopefully i have i'll just let her speak for herself so this is back during the confederate flag 0.99

00:10:26.720 controversy in south carolina she plays this double game she she takes two totally incoherent opinions 0.99

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 1.00

00:10:40.480 on the state house because she doesn't understand what it means to be an american or something like that 0.73

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 1.00

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 0.91

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 0.97

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 0.54

00:14:49.040 you against the civil rights movement or are you for it do you want to blame eisenhower for pursuing 0.78

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:18:45.920 right and you know if just some 105 iq guy watching fox news will just start regurgitating this i mean 1.00

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 0.98

00:18:57.040 but i mean these people are nihilistic and we have to understand about the republican party is at the 0.99

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 0.54

00:19:41.200 really condemn the sort of behavior intellectually serious white nationalists need to need to denounce 0.84

00:19:46.480 ann like full-throatedly oh yeah she is the worst and i'm glad that like she attacked nick fuentes 0.97

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 0.97

00:20:51.680 and even beyond that her opinions are stupid you know it's like even like her her like foreign policy 1.00

00:21:02.480 is just stupid and it's so it's just like all right you have no redeemed qualities actually and 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:28:44.960 examples that one can point out they're gonna be these these dumb fucking things uh that um are the 0.97

00:28:51.280 the fundament of the argument of someone like and culture which may seem even though it seems far-fetched 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.88

00:32:17.920 so much more than i hate like some fukodian you know laced deconstructionist at cal berkeley 1.00

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

00:32:51.760 like suffocating

00:33:00.240 you

00:33:02.240 you
