Hey guys, what's up? It's Allie. Welcome to Relatable. I hope everyone had an awesome
00:00:05.820
weekend. We have a ton to talk about. I don't know how much I'm actually going to be able to
00:00:10.040
fit into a 30 minute span. So I'll probably make kind of a game time last minute decision on whether
00:00:15.700
or not I'm just going to go over the 30 minutes or whether I am just going to push some of this
00:00:21.060
stuff to Thursday, but we'll just see how much time I want to spend on the front end. So let's
00:00:28.360
go ahead and talk about what I would like to talk about today. I want to talk about the March for
00:00:33.920
Life that happened on Friday in DC. I was there and I also want to talk about the Women's March
00:00:38.960
and the media coverage of both of these things and the media bias that over and over again just
00:00:43.940
proves itself to be so towards the left. And I want to give you a government shutdown update.
00:00:50.460
I also want to talk about Cardi B versus Tommy Lahren, which is an interesting matchup. I wasn't
00:00:55.680
necessarily expecting for 2019, but here we are. And I also want to mention that Kamala Harris is
00:01:01.720
running for president. So I was at the March for Life. I was in DC also a couple of days before that.
00:01:08.160
I had the honor of speaking at something called the Stork Ball. This is for an organization called
00:01:13.460
Save the Storks. They provide resources and tools and training for pregnancy centers across the country.
00:01:20.720
They provide things like mobile sonogram units. So women in poor communities can come and get a
00:01:27.140
free sonogram. They also provide training. Like I said, they provide particular tools. So these
00:01:32.940
pregnancy resource centers are fully equipped to serve the women and the pre-born children that are
00:01:38.440
in their area. So I got to speak and that was awesome. Eric Metaxas was there. Kirk and Chelsea Cameron
00:01:45.200
were also hosting. There were, uh, there was a plethora of wonderful donors and activists that
00:01:51.440
were in the audience. And then I also was surprised. I was surprised by this award that I won called the
00:01:57.520
Stork Champ. And if you guys are watching this podcast on Blaze TV, uh, you can see that I, that my
00:02:03.860
award is a wrestling belt. So this says Stork Champ, Save the Storks. It's this really heavy wrestling belt.
00:02:09.800
When I was going through TSA, I was going to through security at the airport coming home from DC.
00:02:15.440
I had this in my suitcase and the, the TSA agents who were, uh, I guess looking at the x-ray machine
00:02:22.280
while my bag was going through, they looked at me and they said, do you have a wrestling belt on your
00:02:26.880
back? And I just said, yes, I do. And I didn't even explain it, but this was a complete shock to me,
00:02:32.280
a total honor. And I truly, this is not just false humility. I truly did not deserve this award. It
00:02:40.700
came or it, uh, was given to James Dobson last year, who was a hero and a legend. And I'm just
00:02:46.380
a lowly podcaster, but I got this award for my pro-life advocacy. And it truly is an honor
00:02:51.380
to have the privilege of being able to speak about the pro-life cause. It is the easiest cause to
00:02:56.500
defend and there truly is a gospel mission to it. Um, protecting the most vulnerable and fighting
00:03:02.080
for the most vulnerable who cannot fight for themselves, who are truly the most oppressed,
00:03:07.160
the most marginalized in this country. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to battle for
00:03:12.840
them. So I'm very thankful for this award. Like I said, I was also at the March for Life. My mom
00:03:18.100
came with me to DC. This was my first ever March for Life. Great experience. Got to hear Ben Shapiro speak,
00:03:25.500
which of course I've heard before. And, um, I know Ben Shapiro pretty well, but I'm still a fangirl.
00:03:31.320
So it was great to hear him speak. He did a live podcast before the March for Life,
00:03:36.280
where he dismantled all of the most popular arguments for the pro-choice, uh, side. And then
00:03:41.800
he, uh, did much of the same, but in a different and more, I guess, mobilizing and inspiring way in
00:03:47.400
his speech. But, uh, what the left decided to do while he was delivering his live podcast was instead
00:03:54.540
of actually contending with the arguments that he made, which were extremely scientific, extremely logical,
00:04:00.520
extremely backed by fact, which everything that Ben Shapiro talks about is, um, instead of contending
00:04:06.740
with those things, they picked out one thing that he said, one thing that he said, and they blew it up
00:04:12.680
into something that it wasn't, which is something that, uh, much of the left likes to do. So, uh,
00:04:18.280
the term baby Hitler was, uh, was trending on Friday on Twitter. And here is why I'll play you
00:04:26.820
a little clip from Ben Shapiro's, uh, Ben Shapiro's podcast.
00:04:31.540
The argument, I guess here is that would you kill baby Hitler? And the truth is that no pro-life
00:04:36.320
person on earth would kill baby Hitler, right? Because baby Hitler wasn't Hitler. Adult Hitler
00:04:40.160
was Hitler. Baby Hitler was a baby, right? What you presumably want to do with baby Hitler was take
00:04:44.400
baby Hitler out of baby Hitler's house and move baby Hitler into a better house where he would not
00:04:50.600
So he's absolutely right. Pro-life people would not kill baby Hitler. We wouldn't kill a baby. A
00:04:57.680
moral person wouldn't kill a baby because it's a baby and you're still going to be liable for
00:05:04.440
murdering a child. And he said, it's not baby Hitler who did all of these things. It was adult Hitler.
00:05:10.880
And so, yeah, there are a lot of ethical and moral questions within that. But of course,
00:05:15.000
if you don't believe in murder, you don't want to be liable for murder just because
00:05:18.920
Hitler was later liable for murder. I'm not saying it wouldn't be tempting to kill baby Hitler,
00:05:23.720
but no, you wouldn't. So he was contending with a particular and weird argument that is sometimes
00:05:28.460
made by the pro-choice left that you might kill a child knowing that that child is going to cause
00:05:35.300
suffering anyway. It's really, really stupid. But he said that and this went viral on social media.
00:05:42.600
And you had all of these outlets like the Young Turks extrapolate what he said and try
00:05:48.820
to, I don't know, paint him as a Nazi, the Orthodox Jew as a Nazi, paint him as a Hitler
00:05:54.140
supporter, paint him as this crazed Alex Jones loon that doesn't that doesn't have any moral
00:06:02.460
or logical bone in his body. It was really insane. But like I said, you know that if this
00:06:08.120
is all they have when it comes to the pro-choice side, if this is all they can contend with and
00:06:13.820
Ben Shapiro's hour long talk about abortion, then you know that they don't actually have
00:06:19.160
a side. If all they can do is extract a quote, take it out of context, blow it up into something
00:06:25.320
that it's not, then you know they don't actually have an argument for it for their side. And as
00:06:29.960
I've said before, all of the arguments for the pro-choice side are straw men. None of them
00:06:35.540
actually deal with the only question that matters. And the only question that matters is,
00:06:40.360
are you killing an innocent life or not? And scientifically, logically, that is true.
00:06:46.580
But they never want to address that. They always say, well, what about the children at the border?
00:06:51.060
Well, what about after birth? Well, what about baby Hitler? Well, none of those are actually
00:06:55.460
contending with the original argument, which is the definition of a straw man. And that's exactly
00:06:59.480
what they did. They want to say that they're the moral side, that they're the side of science,
00:07:03.140
that they're the side of logic. And then they do something like this. And they wonder why people vote
00:07:07.460
for someone like Donald Trump. I've said so many times that it's hard to out crazy Donald Trump.
00:07:12.940
It's hard to outgaff Donald Trump. And yet the left does it day after day. And they cannot for the
00:07:19.360
life of them understand why their side is so unattractive to half of America. It's because
00:07:24.480
of BS like this. The second thing that blew up in relation to the March for Life was the story about
00:07:31.220
these kids that go to Covington Catholic School. The story was that they basically harassed this
00:07:39.920
Native American protester who was protesting for indigenous people, not even for unborn children.
00:07:46.860
It was another protest that happened to collide with the March for Life. And this viral video went
00:07:52.140
on Twitter showing this boy surrounded by other boys wearing red MAGA hats standing in front of this
00:07:59.740
Native American who was beating a drum. And it kind of looks like he was mocking the Native American
00:08:05.820
and that all of the kids around him were jeering. If you just looked at this tiny piece of the video,
00:08:11.920
but then, but then longer video surfaced showing that that wasn't the case at all, that the Native
00:08:18.220
American guy actually went up to this group of kids. And the reason why he went up to this group of
00:08:24.800
kids was because this group of black nationalists, black Hebrew nationalists were jeering at the group
00:08:32.540
of kids from Covington High School, were slinging insults at them, calling them crackers, calling them
00:08:38.040
all sorts of horrible names that I won't even say on this podcast, being as just vile as possible.
00:08:43.840
So this Native American wanted to relieve the tension. And so he started beating his drum and he stood in
00:08:49.680
front of this Covington High School kid who was just standing there smiling. So I will play you
00:09:04.000
Okay, so as you can see, he was just kind of standing in front of this guy with like a soft smile
00:09:09.980
blinking or whatever. Maybe he was being a little bit sassy. But as I've already said, the context was
00:09:15.920
completely missing. So how do leftist blue check marks on Twitter react? How do journalists react?
00:09:20.540
How do how do people like Elizabeth Warren react? Well, they freak out. They say this is completely
00:09:25.400
unacceptable. This is racist. This is terrible. This is what Donald Trump breeds. This is this is
00:09:33.340
exactly what hate looks like in America. You even had right wing pundits say this is completely
00:09:39.160
unacceptable. This is wrong. Now, I have not always been perfect on waiting to get all of the facts
00:09:45.600
before I react. I'm sure I'm sure I haven't been perfect on that. But when I first saw this story,
00:09:50.620
I thought, you know what, there's probably more to this. And if there's not more to this,
00:09:55.260
this seems like a really stupid, insignificant thing that's probably going to blow over.
00:09:59.160
I don't want to waste my breath getting mad about this when a I could be wrong and b it's probably
00:10:05.720
going to be over in about 15 minutes. And so I'm not trying to be self righteous and say I did the
00:10:10.000
right thing and waited and all of these other pundits didn't. Like I said, I'm sure I've been
00:10:13.720
imperfect in this in the past. But for some reason, when I first heard this story, I thought,
00:10:17.520
you know what, I'm not going to weigh in on this yet. And it turns out that that was a lucky and
00:10:22.380
good choice to make because we saw the long video, which showed these boys being harassed,
00:10:29.460
which showed the Native American coming up to the kid. And as it turns out, all of the people who
00:10:34.820
freaked out and called these kids racist, including Elizabeth Warren, politicians, Kathy Griffin,
00:10:41.380
all of these left wing influencers turned out to be wrong. And it's worse than that, though. It's not
00:10:47.380
just that they called these kids racist. It's not just that they said that, you know, Donald Trump
00:10:52.020
influenced them and they're white supremacists, white nationalists, and they've inherited their
00:10:57.620
hate from the KKK, which are some of the things that people were saying. It's not just that they also
00:11:01.800
doxed the poor kid. If you don't know what doxing is, that is releasing the person's information,
00:11:07.120
their address, their name, all of the personal stuff about them so that they I don't even know.
00:11:13.200
I don't even know really what the goal is. So the kid can be harassed. So the kid can be punished. So
00:11:18.640
the kid, I guess, can be targeted by a crazy person and shot and killed. Like, I'm sure that that's the
00:11:24.240
ultimate goal for some of these people who release the personal information like the address and the
00:11:29.360
phone number of these people. They want to ruin this kid's life. This kid who probably is no older
00:11:34.620
than 16 or 17. I believe that he's a junior in high school. And so you had people like Kathy Griffin
00:11:41.020
on Twitter calling for the release of this kind of information. And the bad thing about it is they
00:11:46.040
didn't even get the kid's identity right at first. So they actually doxed the wrong kid. They
00:11:51.060
misidentified the kid. They released the information of his parents, of his parents' business, his parents'
00:11:57.500
address, and it wasn't even the kid in the video. So the guy who was doxed, his brother
00:12:03.740
did, he published a Twitter thread talking about all of this. And I think it's really,
00:12:09.500
it's spot on and it's really sad. So here's what the kid who was misidentified and doxed,
00:12:16.740
his brother said. He said, yesterday was supposed to be a day of celebration for my middle brother,
00:12:21.440
Alex, who got married last night. Instead, my family had to deal with the fallout of my youngest
00:12:26.160
brother, Michael Hodge, being falsely accused for standing and smiling in front of an Indigenous
00:12:30.380
to spam with a drunk. People then proceeded to spam my family with harassment and threats of
00:12:34.360
physical violence. We then find out our parents' address was posted online. If that wasn't enough,
00:12:40.600
our family-operated business has been slandered and attacked. No one reviews evidence or does any
00:12:46.640
due diligence. They immediately escalate things to a state of frenzy over much of nothing. The
00:12:51.320
zealots scream for the head of Michael Hodge, knowing that there will be zero consequences to them
00:12:55.240
if anything happens to him. My parents, uncles, and aunts receive messages stating that they're
00:13:00.060
pieces of excrement, I'll say that, parents and won't be able to protect Michael Hodge forever.
00:13:07.400
Seriously, what kind of behavior is this? Michael Hodge is the best kid I know. He volunteers for
00:13:11.620
Special Olympics, took them skiing this Thursday, is involved in the church youth group, doesn't drink
00:13:16.440
smoke, volunteer member of the Drugs-Free Club of America, and is an aspiring chef. People then
00:13:21.900
started circulating articles of him regarding his dreams and goals of being a chef, finds the college
00:13:26.320
he plans on attending, and proceed to blow them up, encouraging them to rescind the offer and calling
00:13:32.540
him a racist POS. You reach out saying how terrible of a family we are, defame us, threaten us, and you
00:13:38.900
know nothing about us, yet you circulate the information and spam us like it is the only, quote,
00:13:43.520
truth that has ever existed in your lives. How terrible is that? Like, how disgusting,
00:13:49.320
how depraved, how dark and twisted of a human being do you have to, do you have to be to,
00:13:56.120
to threaten a child without even knowing all of the facts? I mean, this is a minor. What is wrong
00:14:02.440
with you people? And like I said, the goal of these people is that this kid who is being harassed either
00:14:08.640
commits suicide or is killed. That is their ultimate goal. They want this kid to die. Not only did they
00:14:15.280
misidentify this person, but even if they had identified this person right, which they eventually
00:14:19.580
did, the crime that he supposedly committed was standing in front of a Native American smiling.
00:14:25.740
Like, that is the crime for which he needs to apparently pay his life, for which his parents
00:14:31.100
need to be fired, for which he needs to be expelled, for which his entire life needs to be ruined.
00:14:36.160
He can't become a chef. He can't go to college because he smiled in front of a Native American.
00:14:40.660
No, that's not why. Those are not the crimes that this person actually committed. The crimes that
00:14:46.900
these kids committed, the real guy who stood in front of him, whose name I won't even say on this
00:14:53.220
podcast, the real guy who stood in front of this Native American man, the real crime that he committed
00:14:58.140
was being white, was wearing a MAGA hat, and marching for life. And probably being a boy doesn't
00:15:06.440
help. Oh, and probably being a Catholic doesn't help. So it was just a bad combination.
00:15:10.660
All of these things, all of these characteristics built for him, this media firestorm against him,
00:15:18.960
not because of what he did, but because of who he is and what he believes. And these people
00:15:23.560
claim to be against bigotry. These people claim to be for tolerance and inclusion. That's
00:15:28.300
why they're supposedly doing these things, doxing this kid and speaking out against him standing in
00:15:34.600
front of the Native American because they are the loving, compassionate ones. No, it's because you
00:15:39.280
guys are the evil bigots. You guys, not everyone on the left, but the leftist harassers, the ones who
00:15:46.160
are doxing this kid, releasing his personal information are the evil bigots. Because the
00:15:51.460
reason you hate this kid is not because he stood in front of this Native American. It is because of
00:15:56.500
the color of his skin. It is because of his political affiliation. It's because he was marching
00:16:00.880
for life. And it is because he is a Catholic Christian. That is why you guys are the bigots,
00:16:06.960
not us. And as I've said, the truth showed that he absolutely did nothing wrong. He released a
00:16:14.580
statement saying, look, I respect the Native American guy that was beating the drum in front of me.
00:16:19.720
He was a veteran. I don't hold any ill will towards him whatsoever. And this guy, Nathan Phillips,
00:16:25.080
the Native American, actually was the one to come out and say that, hey, I approached him. This kid
00:16:31.060
didn't approach me. It wasn't a harassing situation. He actually set the story straight.
00:16:35.640
Now, do we see the media correcting their story? Some, some. The New York Times actually said further
00:16:41.480
video evidence of this shows that the story that we originally released wasn't the full story. Okay,
00:16:48.880
that's good. Now I'm waiting on everyone else. I'm waiting on Joy Reid from MSNBC to say,
00:16:53.080
oh, I was wrong in this. I was wrong for releasing this information without knowing all of the facts.
00:16:59.140
Some pundits have indeed apologized, but I haven't seen some of the blue check marks on Twitter who
00:17:05.020
released his information and who tried to defame this kid and ruin this kid's life. I haven't seen
00:17:09.660
them apologize. Now, the people who haven't gotten any attention are the people in the video who were
00:17:16.180
actually harassing the Covington kids and who were causing the ruckus in the first place. This
00:17:20.440
so-called black Hebrew nationalist group calling the kids, the inward trial molesters, crackers.
00:17:28.580
Like I said, these people who are in the full video of what happened do not get any condemnation
00:17:35.040
whatsoever. They don't get doxxed. Their information doesn't get released. We're not
00:17:39.500
talking about them. They're not going to make any headlines. Why? Because they're not wearing MAGA
00:17:44.280
hats and because they're black. Like that's, that's the bottom line. I hate to make this about
00:17:49.860
race, but it's really not me who is making it about race. It's the left. It's, it's progressives
00:17:55.480
who are making this about race because this once again is intersectionality at work. Um, according
00:18:00.700
to the left, that's what determines your innocence. That's what determines your character is the color
00:18:07.100
of your skin and your political affiliation. Um, because white male conservatives are on the
00:18:14.780
supposedly on the top of the totem pole, when it comes to oppression, then they are immediately
00:18:19.520
condemned as the guilty party in any given situation, no matter what the facts are, has no logic,
00:18:26.220
no truth whatsoever in any Christian that tells you that intersectionality is somehow a Christ-like
00:18:32.400
Christian idea is lying. They know nothing. God is deeply concerned with justice. I actually was,
00:18:39.440
I'm almost done with the book of Joshua that I wanted to read in January. And, uh, one of the
00:18:44.360
things that just rings so that rings so true, uh, about God that is seen in Joshua, that's also seen
00:18:51.500
in the book of numbers, the book of Deuteronomy, the book of Leviticus, especially, but really throughout
00:18:55.540
the Bible is that God is the God of justice. He cares about justice. He cares about truth,
00:19:00.660
intersectionalities, anti-justice, anti-truth. It's all about the color of your skin.
00:19:05.420
And it's fitting that we're talking about this. Um, the day after Martin Luther King day,
00:19:10.160
who said one day he hopes that people will be judged by the content of their character,
00:19:14.460
not the color of their skin. Well, guess what? In 2019, uh, we live in a time where we only judge
00:19:19.840
people by the color of their skin, not at all by the content of their character. And in fact,
00:19:23.740
there are lots of people, it seems like a growing number of people on the left who think that the
00:19:28.700
color of your skin determines the content of your character, that the darker you are,
00:19:33.780
the more oppressed you are, the more oppressed you are, the higher character you have. Um,
00:19:39.380
like I said, that has nothing to do with truth whatsoever. And it's actually really demeaning
00:19:45.200
to people of color, to minorities, that they shouldn't be held to the standard of truth and,
00:19:51.300
and reality and morality, like white people are. How backwards is that? How wrong is that?
00:19:57.040
How anti-equality is that? How anti-empowering is that? So anyway, these were the two main headlines
00:20:05.140
that came out about the March for Life. And this is not a coincidence. This is exactly what the media
00:20:11.220
wants to cover. They don't want to cover the atrocity of abortion. They don't want to cover
00:20:16.500
the pro-life cause because they want you to think that the pro-life cause is so small.
00:20:20.940
And the only parts that are worth talking about are, uh, racist are the, the racist parts of it,
00:20:26.840
um, baby Hitler and, uh, anti-indigenous people. Now, of course, both of those stories are blown up
00:20:33.220
and absolutely false, but that's what they want you to think that the pro-life cause as a part of the
00:20:38.940
conservative cause is racist and bad and really insignificant. And the only thing we're talking
00:20:44.020
about is, uh, Hitler and MAGA hat wearing white Catholic kicks. That's what they want you to
00:20:50.360
think. It is not a coincidence that these were the only parts of the March for Life that were trending
00:20:56.180
on Twitter, that these are the only parts of the March for Life that were actually talked about in
00:21:00.740
the mainstream media. That's not a coincidence. So don't let yourself be duped by that. Um, okay,
00:21:06.880
let's talk about the women's March who received far more positive coverage than the March for Life
00:21:14.080
did. Despite the fact, despite the fact that the March for Life was perhaps, uh, it's really hard
00:21:21.220
to know exact numbers. Uh, the March for Life was perhaps bigger than the women's March. And this was
00:21:27.960
the 46th annual March for unborn children. Whereas the women's March, this was only the third year.
00:21:34.380
And as we know, the leadership of the women's March has been charged with claims of antisemitism.
00:21:40.020
And that, um, is not, it's not random. It's not sexist. It's not out of nowhere. It is because
00:21:47.260
Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour refused to condemn the words of Louis Farrakhan, who is an outspoken
00:21:53.340
antisemite. And because Tamika Mallory refuses to say that Israel has a right to exist. This is an
00:22:00.280
excerpt from an interview that Tamika Mallory did on PBS's firing line, uh, not too long ago about
00:22:07.180
Israel's right to exist. The Palestinians are native to the land. You know, they were there,
00:22:12.080
um, for a very long time. And so they're native to the land. Do you feel that the Jewish people
00:22:18.160
are native as well? I mean, I know, I understand the history that, you know, that, um, there are people
00:22:25.280
who have a number of, uh, sort of ideologies around why the Jewish people feel this should
00:22:33.860
be their land. I'm not Jewish. So for me to speak to that is not fair. If you're willing to say that
00:22:38.700
the Palestinians are native, but not the Jews are native. I mean, you're not Palestinian either.
00:22:44.000
Because I'm speaking of the people who we know are being brutally oppressed in this moment.
00:22:48.120
That's just the reality. Is it your view that Israel has a right to exist as a nation?
00:22:54.000
I have said many times that I feel everyone has a right to exist. I feel everyone has a right to
00:23:00.340
exist. I just don't feel that anyone has a right to exist at the, uh, disposal of another group.
00:23:06.040
In your view, does that include Israelis in Israel? I believe that all people have the right to exist
00:23:11.540
and that Palestinians are also suffering with a great crisis and that there are other Jewish
00:23:17.700
scholars who will sit here and say the same. I'm done talking about this. Okay. I just don't think
00:23:22.680
it requires scholarly knowledge to be able to say that Israel has a right to exist. It's, it, it,
00:23:27.100
again, I believe everyone has the right to exist. So as you can see, she won't say it. She won't say
00:23:33.560
that Israel actually has a right to exist because she doesn't believe that they do. And good job for
00:23:38.920
PBS, uh, for pushing back on this. Now there were outlets who talked about how the women's march is
00:23:45.340
struggling with accusations of antisemitism, but it's very interesting to see the headlines because
00:23:50.380
that's exactly what they say. They're struggling with accusations of antisemitism. They're, they're
00:23:55.700
suffering within their ranks, uh, because of accusations of antisemitism rather than saying,
00:24:01.900
yeah, they're just a bunch of racists because if this was a group on the right, they wouldn't say
00:24:05.840
accusations of racism. They would say, no, they're, they're, they're just racist. But of course we have
00:24:11.860
to tiptoe. There's a tiptoe around the women's march. Why again, because of intersectionality
00:24:16.820
and because, uh, the media are leftist cronies. They are going to be partners with any movement
00:24:22.860
that is on the left. Here is a clip from Linda Sarsour's speech at the women's march.
00:24:29.640
To standing up for free speech and our constitutional right to boycott divestment and sanctions in these
00:24:37.860
United States of America. So they're just outspokenly anti-Israel. They're not even trying
00:24:44.460
to hide it. Um, but the media doesn't want to cover that nearly as much as they want to cover
00:24:50.480
a false story about high school kids, um, or baby Hitler in Ben Shapiro's podcast. But, uh, that is
00:25:00.080
exactly where we are because once again, the media wants you to believe that this is all that there is
00:25:05.260
on the right, just racism, just bigotry, um, just illogic and craziness. And that we don't actually
00:25:11.380
have any point. We don't actually have, um, any arguments to offer. We don't actually offer any
00:25:17.420
value to the conversation. This is what they want you to think of any movement that is the right of
00:25:23.200
Bernie Sanders. Um, speaking of Bernie Sanders here is, uh, here is a piece of an interview from
00:25:31.480
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the women's March when she is confronted with acute, with accusations
00:25:37.400
of antisemitism, uh, within the women's March. What would you say to some of those people who have
00:25:43.180
concerns about antisemitism within the women's March group? Absolutely. Well, first of all,
00:25:47.480
I think that right now in this moment in, in the United States, we have to center this conversation.
00:25:52.600
I think that concerns of antisemitism with the current administration and the white house are,
00:25:58.080
are absolutely valid. And we need to make sure that we are protecting the Jewish community and
00:26:02.760
all those that feel vulnerable in this moment. I think, uh, right now, as it pertains to today,
00:26:07.820
it's so important to recognize why all of these women are coming together. And the reason all of
00:26:14.160
these people are coming together is to make sure that, uh, the rights of women are protected and
00:26:18.780
advanced. And so I'm, I, I know in my heart that all of the New Yorkers that are coming down here
00:26:24.300
and downtown are coming in that spirit and not in the other spirit.
00:26:28.780
I mean, that is some expert, that is some expert divergence right there.
00:26:35.380
That is some professional. What about ism? I mean, she just skirted that so fast instead of even
00:26:42.960
addressing what the interviewer said, she just said, Oh yeah, we definitely need to look at
00:26:47.920
antisemitism within this administration. Well, that's not actually what he asked. He asked about
00:26:53.420
antisemitism within the women's March and you didn't answer that. So are you fine with it?
00:26:58.580
Like, are you fine with the leadership of the women's March supporting Louis Farrakhan who has
00:27:04.420
called Jews termites? Like, are you okay with that? If you are so anti-establishment or if you are so,
00:27:09.620
um, go against the flow, if you are so different and so for tolerance, then why is it hard for you
00:27:16.280
to say, yeah, you know what? I call on Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour to stand up against
00:27:20.720
Louis Farrakhan's bigotry. Like if you are so against the grain, why is it difficult for you
00:27:27.200
to do that? So I'm just guessing by your silence that you condone that too, that you're fine with
00:27:33.560
that. I mean, the DNC didn't even sponsor this event. There are, uh, there are other feminists.
00:27:38.600
There are other people on the left who said, I'm not going to be a part of the women's March until
00:27:41.720
they denounce their antisemitism. Why can't you do that? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and you,
00:27:46.380
and you expect us to take you seriously morally. Like you expect us to see you as some kind of
00:27:52.520
authority on morality. We already don't see you as an authority on anything else.
00:27:57.560
So what I don't really understand why that's difficult to separate yourself from that.
00:28:02.500
Don't pretend like you're anything other than a filthy politician. That's all you are. Just
00:28:06.620
because you were a bartender a year ago, doesn't make you any better, any more down to earth,
00:28:10.760
any more organic, any more real or authentic than any other politician on Capitol Hill. Okay.
00:28:15.160
You're, you're, you're no different than a Nancy Pelosi. You're no different than a Debbie Wasserman
00:28:20.880
Schultz, but just because you're young and hip and you use an Instapot to cook macaroni and cheese
00:28:25.640
doesn't make you any better than those people. And you've proven that over and over again.
00:28:30.220
Um, so that's really all I have to say about the difference between the, the March for life and,
00:28:38.020
uh, the women's March, Matt Walsh, I thought made a really good point. No one at the March for life
00:28:43.680
is marching for themselves. They're all marching for people who can't march for themselves.
00:28:48.560
And, uh, the women's March is only marching out of selfishness. And of course they say they're
00:28:54.140
marching for women's rights. But if you go and look at pictures of the March, the signs are almost
00:28:58.320
entirely about Donald Trump. So again, this is not actually about women's rights, which are not under
00:29:03.960
attack by the way. It's just an anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-conservative, um, anti-anti-abortion
00:29:10.700
march. That's all it is. It's not inclusive. It's not tolerant. It's not for all women is for
00:29:15.080
themselves. Uh, feminism, at least these days is inherently selfish. And so it's not really
00:29:20.360
surprising that the March is to, uh, media research center found that the women's March was covered 15
00:29:27.840
times. The, uh, the amount looking at the actual seconds and minutes of coverage of the women's
00:29:34.560
March versus the March for life, 15 times that of the March for life. Again, not surprising.
00:29:39.580
They want to cover it up. They want to say that it's not really a movement except for just a
00:29:43.860
section of, uh, further racism within conservatism. Um, okay. We do have time. I want to talk about
00:29:49.820
Cardi B versus Tommy Lahren. So Cardi B did this video, um, saying that it's Trump's fault that the
00:29:58.800
shutdown is happening to that. She's scared. So I'll play you a little bit of that.
00:30:02.040
Hey y'all. I just want to remind y'all because it's been a little bit over three weeks. Okay. It's been
00:30:07.180
a little bit over three weeks. Trump is now ordering as in summonsing federal government
00:30:13.380
workers to go back to work without getting paid. Now I don't want to hear y'all talking
00:30:19.160
about, Oh, but Obama shut down the government for 17 days. Yeah. For healthcare. So your
00:30:24.840
grandma could check a blood pressure and you go check out the gynecologist with no problem.
00:30:30.080
Okay. And then Tommy Lahren tweeted. I actually don't know exactly what she tweeted because if
00:30:35.400
you didn't already know this, Tommy Lahren blocked me on all social media. I don't know why I've never
00:30:40.220
met her. I've never met her before. Um, I actually wrote a really nice blog post about her one time,
00:30:46.620
but I have my feelings about Tommy Lahren. She apparently has her feelings about me. She blocked
00:30:51.400
me on all social media. So, but the story goes that she basically said, okay, Cardi B are our next,
00:30:57.180
you know, political genius way to go for following her. And Cardi B tweeted back at her,
00:31:03.480
like, be quiet before I dog walk you. Okay. Wow. That really escalated. And then she put out this
00:31:11.640
thing saying Tommy Lahren is so blinded by racism that she can't see what the president is doing to
00:31:18.040
this country. But the thing is, no matter what I think about Tommy Lahren, she's absolutely right.
00:31:22.420
She's totally right. Like Cardi B, and I'm saying this is someone who knows, unfortunately,
00:31:26.520
very unfortunately, every word to Bodak Yellow. I don't know how it happened. It's just like,
00:31:31.140
I don't know. I just know every word to Bodak Yellow. Um, Cardi B can't string a coherent sentence
00:31:37.940
together. Like she can't speak English. She just can't like Tommy Lahren, sadly would completely
00:31:45.380
dominate Cardi B in an argument, in a debate. Cardi B literally knows nothing about politics,
00:31:52.540
literally nothing. So for the politicians and the people on the left who are hailing Cardi B as some,
00:31:58.840
a partisan hero. Well, we do remember that about a year ago, she slammed being overtaxed because she
00:32:05.680
doesn't actually know where her tax dollars are going. And then she turned around and she supported
00:32:09.040
Cynthia Nixon in the governor's race for New York. So homegirl has no idea what the heck she's
00:32:16.320
talking about. Absolutely no idea. So if you were taking your political cues from Cardi B,
00:32:21.700
yes, like gut check, probably not a good place to get your information. So I might not agree with
00:32:28.560
Tommy Lahren on everything, but she's absolutely right. Also dog walk. That seems like a pretty
00:32:34.100
derogatory and maybe violent statement. So a little bit weird, a little bit weird that politicians on the
00:32:41.620
left, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are saying, yeah, Cardi B, that's so awesome. Okay. Do you
00:32:47.560
also stand for all the other things that Cardi B stands for? That's interesting. And final note,
00:32:53.700
Kamala Harris, surprise, surprise is running for president. She's got a lot of the intersectionality
00:32:59.140
points. She would have a few more if she were gay and Muslim, but she is straight. And I think even
00:33:06.280
married to a white man. So she has some intersectionality points taken away from her,
00:33:10.640
but she is a woman and she is a woman of color. And so she probably is everything that the left
00:33:18.080
wants in a president right now. She is a horrible person, as we saw in the Kavanaugh hearings,
00:33:24.020
and she would be a horrible president, but she is a strong contender for the presidency. And I think
00:33:28.840
that she has probably a good chance of winning. She's a crazy lady. And as the election goes on,
00:33:37.880
or as the campaigning goes on, we will talk about her and the other candidates a little bit more.
00:33:44.100
But that's all that we have time for today. I hope that you guys have a great rest of your week.
00:33:49.400
I actually had even more than I want to talk about. I wanted to talk about what we talked
00:33:52.580
about last week and the three myths that Christian women believe because you guys responded so well to
00:33:57.360
that. I will do something similar probably on Thursday. I'm even considering having like
00:34:01.800
theological Thursdays. We'll see how that goes. Okay. Anyway, love you guys. And I'll see you then.
