The Ben Shapiro Show - Kavanaugh II: The Revenge | Ep. 861

00:00:00.000 Democrats call for Justice Kavanaugh's impeachment over another vague allegation.

00:00:04.000 Joe Biden slugs it out with the media over race.

00:00:06.000 And Iran targets Saudi Arabia.

00:00:08.000 I'm live from New York.

00:00:09.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:10.000 Oh, yes, we have tons to get to, Tammy.

00:00:17.000 A lot of news happening over the weekend.

00:00:19.000 Kavanaugh, the revenge! 0.99

00:00:21.000 We get another round of this routine, because the New York Times is doing amazing journalistic work in uncovering another story about Brett Kavanaugh's penis. 0.99

00:00:28.000 Very, very important stuff. 0.99

00:00:30.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:00:31.000 First, let's talk about the fact that there seems to be an awful lot of economic insecurity, and a lot of that economic insecurity is driven by the fact that we don't know what the central banks are going to do.

00:00:39.000 Sometimes you have the central banks talking about lowering interest rates.

00:00:42.000 Sometimes you have them talking about increasing interest rates.

00:00:44.000 And all of that is having an impact on the value of the dollar and the value of other currencies.

00:00:49.000 One of the ways that you can hedge against central bank manipulation of currency is to actually invest in crypto or blockchain currencies.

00:00:56.000 Last week, China devalued its currency and markets tanked.

00:00:58.000 One consequence was that Bitcoin prices rose.

00:01:01.000 It's time to seriously consider including some crypto in your portfolio.

00:01:47.000 Okay, so the big story of the day is that the New York Times has a brand new breaking allegation against Brett Kavanaugh, you know, the Supreme Court Justice.

00:01:55.000 And we just did this, like, a year ago.

00:01:57.000 A year ago, as you recall, then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh was on his way to confirmation on the Supreme Court when suddenly there was an allegation brought forward by Dianne Feinstein, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and it was leaked out and the allegation was from Christine Blasey Ford that Brett Kavanaugh had allegedly held her down and tried to rape her back when he was 17 years old.

00:02:17.000 There was no collaborative, there was no any sort of evidence.

00:02:22.000 There was nothing that corroborated.

00:02:24.000 There was no corroborative evidence.

00:02:25.000 There was no hard evidence.

00:02:26.000 She couldn't name the time.

00:02:27.000 She couldn't name the place.

00:02:27.000 She couldn't name the date.

00:02:29.000 It didn't matter.

00:02:30.000 This turned into a massive, massive story.

00:02:32.000 And then the media started trying to dig up other allegations of sexual impropriety by Brett Kavanaugh, all from when he was very young.

00:02:39.000 Now, Brett Kavanaugh is nearing 60s in his mid-50s.

00:02:42.000 All of this stuff supposedly happened back when he was in high school or at Yale.

00:02:46.000 None of the allegations were corroborated, none of them were backed up, and none of them provided any material evidence for the allegations.

00:02:52.000 Well, now the New York Times is back because there's a brand new book out about Brett Kavanaugh.

00:02:57.000 It's called The Education of Brett Kavanaugh, an Investigation from Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, who are reporters with the Times and authors of that book.

00:03:05.000 Well, they had a piece in the New York Times In their news analysis section.

00:03:09.000 So not in their news section, because that would actually require some news.

00:03:13.000 Their news analysis section, which allows them to basically pass off non-news as an op-ed.

00:03:20.000 And they bring forward a new allegation.

00:03:22.000 Now the problem is the allegation is exceedingly vague.

00:03:25.000 Well, let me read you what they have to say in the New York Times.

00:03:27.000 First of all, this story is framed not in terms of news about another allegation against Brett Kavanaugh.

00:03:32.000 Instead, it is framed as a story of victimhood about Deborah Ramirez.

00:03:37.000 Now, you remember Deborah Ramirez. 0.99

00:03:38.000 Deborah Ramirez is the lady who claimed that Brett Kavanaugh supposedly, at some sort of party, waved his penis in her face at Yale. 0.99

00:03:47.000 There's only one problem. 0.98

00:03:48.000 It was originally reported by the New Yorker, by Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer.

00:03:51.000 And the story has not only no corroboration, it has no supporting evidence whatsoever.

00:03:56.000 There are a bunch of questions about that original story.

00:03:58.000 For example, in the story itself, it says the New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was even present at the party where Ramirez claimed he was.

00:04:07.000 The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident.

00:04:11.000 Many did not respond to interview requests.

00:04:13.000 Others declined to comment or said they did not attend or remember the party.

00:04:17.000 The New York Times also could not find a single witness to back up her allegations.

00:04:21.000 The Times, quote, had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story and could find no one with first-hand knowledge.

00:04:29.000 In the New Yorker story, Farrell and Mayer provided a quote from one of the main men named by Ramirez as somebody who was apparently there.

00:04:37.000 One of the male classmates who Ramirez said Egdon Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party.

00:04:40.000 I don't think Brett would flash himself to Debbie or anyone for that matter.

00:04:44.000 Asked why he thought Ramirez was making the allegation, he responded, I have no idea.

00:04:47.000 A third person Ramirez claims is at the party says she was not there for the alleged incident.

00:04:53.000 Ramirez apparently contacted her former classmates asking about the incident, and she admitted that she wasn't even sure that Kavanaugh was the male who exposed himself.

00:05:00.000 Ramirez, quote, herself contacted former Yale classmates, asking if they recalled the incident, and told some of them she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.

00:05:10.000 Buried 1,700 words into the original New Yorker piece, the report says, a former friend, who says she was best friends with Ramirez, says Ramirez never mentioned the story.

00:05:19.000 The former friend who was married to the male classmate alleged to be involved and who signed the statement said of Ramirez, This is a woman I was best friends with.

00:05:24.000 We shared intimate details of our lives.

00:05:26.000 I was never told this story by her or by anyone else.

00:05:29.000 It never came up.

00:05:29.000 I didn't see it.

00:05:30.000 I never heard of it happening.

00:05:31.000 Ramirez wasn't even sure her memory was corrected.

00:05:35.000 This was the most damning part of that original New Yorker story.

00:05:38.000 The outlet reported, quote, in her initial conversations with the New Yorker, Ramirez was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh's role in the alleged incident with certainty.

00:05:46.000 After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said she felt confident enough of her recollections to say she remembers Kavanaugh.

00:05:55.000 Okay, if you have to take six days to assess your memories and consult with your attorney, I'm gonna say you don't have the requisite level of certainty to make an allegation like that.

00:06:03.000 I said this at the time, everybody else said this at the time, because of course, that is ridiculous. 0.97

00:06:07.000 Okay, if you're making an allegation that somebody at a party came up to you, exposed themselves, thrust their penis in your face, pretty good shot you're gonna remember who that person was. 0.98

00:06:16.000 Right, but apparently, and Brett Kavanaugh is apparently fairly well known on campus. 0.90

00:06:21.000 But Ramirez wasn't even clear in her own mind, and then she talked with her attorney, and after six days of militating about it, finally she came out with the story.

00:06:27.000 Okay, so that is all the backdrop to today's report in the New York Times by Pogrebin and Kelly, who are trying to sell this book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh.

00:06:35.000 And again, this thing is painted not as a new revelation about Brett Kavanaugh, it is painted instead as Ramirez, she just was not socially accepted the way that Brett Kavanaugh was.

00:06:46.000 As though it is some sort of sin to be from an upper-class or upper-middle-class background and go to Yale, as opposed to being from a poorer background and going to Yale.

00:06:53.000 Last I checked, that was not the allegation against Brett Kavanaugh.

00:06:56.000 Nor is that a disqualifying allegation for the Supreme Court.

00:06:58.000 If we ruled out everyone who grew up fairly wealthy in the United States from sitting on a federal court, you can wipe out two-thirds of the federal bench.

00:07:05.000 So here's what the New York Times story says.

00:07:07.000 Deborah Ramirez had the grades to go to Yale in 1983, but she wasn't prepared for what she'd find there.

00:07:12.000 A top student in southwestern Connecticut, she studied hard but socialized little.

00:07:15.000 She was raised Catholic and had a sheltered upbringing.

00:07:18.000 In the summers, she worked at Carvel, dishing ice cream, commuting in the $500 car she'd bought with babysitting earnings.

00:07:24.000 At Yale, she encountered students from more worldly backgrounds.

00:07:27.000 First of all, It doesn't sound like she was impoverished, right?

00:07:29.000 I mean, she apparently was raised in southwestern Connecticut, not known for being the poorest area in America.

00:07:36.000 She worked at Carvel, dishing ice cream.

00:07:38.000 She was able to buy a car with babysitting earnings, in any case.

00:07:41.000 That's not to say that her background is rich, but this doesn't sound like somebody who was growing up in the inner city.

00:07:46.000 Okay, in any case.

00:07:47.000 The New York Times says at Yale she encountered students from more worldly backgrounds.

00:07:51.000 Many were affluent and had attended elite private high schools.

00:07:54.000 They also had experience with drinking and sexual behavior, and Ms.

00:07:57.000 Ramirez, who had not intended to be intimate with a man until her wedding night, laughed.

00:08:01.000 During the winter of her freshman year, a drunken dormitory party unsettled her deeply. 0.89

00:08:05.000 She and some classmates had been drinking heavily when, she says, a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and thrust his penis at her, prompting her to swat it away and inadvertently touch it. 0.98

00:08:15.000 Some of the onlookers, who had been passing around a fake penis earlier in the evening, laughed. 0.98

00:08:20.000 To Ramirez, it wasn't funny at all. 0.89

00:08:22.000 It was the nadir of her first year, when she often felt insufficiently rich, experienced, or savvy to mingle with her more privileged classmates.

00:08:29.000 Okay, so a few things about this.

00:08:31.000 Number one, she was apparently voluntarily at a drunken dormitory party.

00:08:34.000 That would not excuse sexual assault in any case.

00:08:36.000 But if the idea here is that Brett Kavanaugh and his colleagues corrupted Ramirez, I'm not seeing the evidence of that because, again, putting aside the alleged incident, she was at a dormitory party heavily drinking, according to her own admission, before she met Kavanaugh.

00:08:50.000 So that's not Kavanaugh's fault.

00:08:51.000 The allegation here is reported with basically no countervailing evidence, right?

00:08:57.000 She and some classmates have been drinking heavily when she says a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh, etc, etc.

00:09:01.000 Now, I just pointed out to you all of the problems with her story.

00:09:05.000 They were originally mentioned at the time.

00:09:07.000 So there's nothing new in the story so far, but this is now being presented as a case of fact.

00:09:13.000 I had gone through high school, I'm the good girl, and now in one evening it was all ripped away, she said in an interview earlier this year at her Boulder, Colorado home.

00:09:20.000 By preying upon her in this way, she added, Mr. Kavanaugh and his friends made it clear, I'm not smart.

00:09:25.000 Okay, now, again, she took six days to figure out whether it was Kavanaugh.

00:09:31.000 There's no corroborating witnesses, none, at this apparently well-attended dorm party, where everybody's drunk.

00:09:37.000 Kavanaugh denies the claims, obviously.

00:09:40.000 Ms.

00:09:40.000 Ramirez's story would seem far less damaging to Kavanaugh's reputation than those of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who claimed that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her, and tried to remove her clothes while covering her mouth.

00:09:50.000 But while we found Dr. Ford's allegations credible during a 10-month investigation, Ms.

00:09:54.000 Ramirez's story could be more fully corroborated.

00:09:56.000 At least seven people, including Ms.

00:09:57.000 Ramirez's mother, heard about the Yale incident long before Kavanaugh was a federal judge.

00:10:02.000 Two of those people were classmates who learned of it just days after the party occurred, suggesting it was discussed among students at the time.

00:10:07.000 Okay, but none of those people came forward to the New Yorker to say, indisputably, that Kavanaugh did it, or that she had said that Kavanaugh did it, or who the person was who did this thing.

00:10:17.000 And then we get to the new allegation.

00:10:19.000 Okay, that's all the old stuff.

00:10:20.000 Then we get to the new allegation in the New York Times.

00:10:22.000 So here's the new allegation. 0.99

00:10:23.000 Quote, Apparently, this is the most well-trafficked Apparently, this is the most well-trafficked penis in the history of Yale. 0.99

00:10:43.000 And not only is Kavanaugh thrusting it in people's faces, according to these allegations, now his friends are apparently grabbing his junk and pushing them into other people's hands. 0.98

00:10:50.000 So, basically, it's a FedEx package at this point.

00:10:53.000 Mr. Steyer, who runs a non-profit organization in Washington, notified senators and the FBI about this account, but the FBI did not investigate, and Steyer has declined to discuss it publicly.

00:11:03.000 Well, if he declines to offer any details that are worth investigating, then what the hell is this supposed to mean?

00:11:10.000 Okay, so the original story does not include the following line.

00:11:13.000 Okay, the original story said, We corroborated the story with two officials who have communicated with Mr. Steyer.

00:11:18.000 The female student declined to be interviewed.

00:11:20.000 That is where the sentence originally ended.

00:11:22.000 Okay, that is where the sentence originally ended.

00:11:25.000 Then, much later, the New York Times has to come forward with a correction.

00:11:30.000 And their correction says, quote, Friends say she does not recall the episode. 0.95

00:11:35.000 Now it seems to me that, number one, if you're Ramirez and somebody thrust their penis in your face at a party and it was devastating, you would remember who the person was.

00:11:45.000 But beyond that, and that somebody else at the party could corroborate it, but beyond that, the female student in this story says she does not remember the incident. 0.60

00:11:55.000 And the New York Times didn't originally include that.

00:11:57.000 Originally that wasn't in the story.

00:11:59.000 That's a pretty major revision, right?

00:12:01.000 The update included the significant detail that several friends of the alleged victim said she did not recall the purported sexual assault in question at all.

00:12:09.000 The Times also stated for the first time that the alleged victim refused to be interviewed and has made no comment about the episode.

00:12:16.000 That's an amazing update!

00:12:18.000 Right, the editor's note.

00:12:19.000 They added an editor's note to this story, which basically destroys the entire story.

00:12:22.000 It says, an earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party.

00:12:35.000 The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed, and friends say she does not recall the incident.

00:12:41.000 That information has been added to the article.

00:12:42.000 Why was it left out of the article?

00:12:45.000 Really, I mean, that's a pretty serious point, isn't it?

00:12:48.000 It was in the book.

00:12:49.000 It wasn't in the article.

00:12:50.000 Why wasn't it in the article?

00:12:52.000 If I say to you, there's an allegation that you murdered someone, and then it also says in the book that the supposed murder victim is walking around Fifth Avenue, That might be relevant.

00:13:02.000 Leaving out the actual relevant part of the story would be a pretty massive piece of botchery by the New York Times.

00:13:09.000 It's always very weird.

00:13:10.000 You know, people would say that there's no media bias.

00:13:12.000 Why is it that every mistake is in one direction?

00:13:15.000 Why?

00:13:15.000 Why is it that every single error is in one direction over at the New York Times?

00:13:19.000 This is amazing.

00:13:20.000 In one second, we will see how Democrats reacted to the original allegation.

00:13:24.000 Because this shows how deeply cynical the original Kavanaugh allegations were and were treated by the Democrats.

00:13:31.000 I was willing to go back and listen to the tape.

00:13:34.000 I was willing to give all sorts of credibility to Christina Blasey Ford, and then it turns out she couldn't name where, when, what.

00:13:40.000 She couldn't name a single person there who could corroborate her story.

00:13:43.000 And it became clear that she had nothing.

00:13:45.000 That the story had fallen apart.

00:13:46.000 That there really was nothing there.

00:13:48.000 Or at the very least, there was nothing that we could corroborate.

00:13:50.000 So maybe the story was true, but if we can't corroborate in any way, there is this idea of due process and innocence until proven guilty.

00:13:56.000 If I allege that you rape puppies in your backyard and offer no supporting details, you should probably take that with a grain of salt.

00:14:03.000 Okay, now we have Deborah Ramirez, whose story originally was full of holes. 0.99

00:14:06.000 And the New York Times comes forward with this report attempting to shore up the story, not by referring to Ramirez's story, but by referring to a secondary incident, to an unnamed female who says she doesn't remember the incident, as reported by a man who says he reported it to the FBI, but won't talk about it publicly or give any serious details.

00:14:24.000 How are we supposed to take all that seriously?

00:14:25.000 How?

00:14:26.000 And the answer is, you're not supposed to take it seriously. 1.00

00:14:28.000 You're just supposed to go along with the Democratic line that Brett Kavanaugh is actually a rapist and a ritual serial assaulter. 0.99

00:14:36.000 And that if you want him on the Supreme Court, or you believe that there's no evidence to oust him from the Supreme Court, it's because you're a sexist. 0.98

00:14:41.000 If Democrats want to play this game, it did not go well for them the first time.

00:14:44.000 We can do it again.

00:14:46.000 But I think this is a pretty botched move.

00:14:48.000 We'll see in a second how the 2020 Democrats are trying to militarize this particular story.

00:14:51.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:14:53.000 First, You may be walking around right now listening to this show on a pair of earbuds and maybe those earbuds are old-fashioned and they have the wires or they have the stems.

00:15:01.000 Maybe they cost you too much money and you're looking for a second pair of earbuds that you're not going to lose and that look good and sound good.

00:15:06.000 Well this is where Raycon wireless earbuds come in.

00:15:08.000 Raycon earbuds start at about half the price of any other premium wireless earbuds on the market and they sound just as great.

00:15:14.000 Raycon's E50 wireless earbuds have totally changed the game for me.

00:16:00.000 Okay, so the Democratic candidates jump on this completely Unsupported, uncorroborated, unspecified story.

00:16:08.000 And they start tweeting about how Justice Kavanaugh should now be impeached from the Supreme Court. 0.99

00:16:12.000 Now, this is all crap. 0.98

00:16:13.000 They're never going to get an impeachment of Kavanaugh. 0.99

00:16:15.000 It's a thing that is not going to happen.

00:16:17.000 But Democrats are trying to provide the false hope to their constituents that if elected, they will impeach Kavanaugh, replace him with somebody on the left, and fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat.

00:16:26.000 And they're trying to reshift the majority on the Supreme Court in a left-leaning direction, basically by railroading Kavanaugh on the basis of non-evidence.

00:16:36.000 I will point out one quick thing here.

00:16:37.000 We've had a bevy of public figures in recent years who have had their genitalia described on national television by people who allege sexual assault. 0.93

00:16:45.000 Stormy Daniels famously described President Trump's genitalia. 0.98

00:16:49.000 Bill Clinton's genitalia. 0.99

00:16:50.000 Details of such were talked about. 0.97

00:16:53.000 Nobody has yet described Kavanaugh's genitalia.

00:16:55.000 Now, that's not dispositive.

00:16:57.000 Maybe they were generic.

00:16:58.000 But the bottom line is we've had no corroborating details on any of these stories.

00:16:58.000 Who knows?

00:17:02.000 All of them apparently happened in public places with other witnesses available, and not one witness has been there who corroborates any of these stories.

00:17:09.000 It's unbelievable. 0.78

00:17:10.000 And yet the Democrats are still saying that Kavanaugh should be kicked off the Supreme Court based on, what, a new report from a guy who says that he was at a party and saw a male grab Kavanaugh's penis, which, by the way, would be sexual assault, and then thrust it into the hand of a female who says she doesn't remember the incident? 0.95

00:17:26.000 It seems like you might remember that incident.

00:17:28.000 Just gonna put that out there.

00:17:29.000 But if you're a female innocently sitting at a party, and suddenly some dude comes and takes someone else's junk and thrusts it into your hand, it feels like that might be memorable.

00:17:38.000 I'm gonna go to the woman in the room. 1.00

00:17:39.000 Jess, does that seem like a memorable incident to you?

00:17:41.000 It seems like a memorable incident to Jess.

00:17:43.000 I will take Jess as generic woman here, because I think that that is a fairly memorable incident. 0.98

00:17:47.000 I think any normal person would probably remember that, and if called by the New York Times, oh, were you at a party where someone grabbed somebody's junk and thrust it into your hand?

00:17:55.000 Seems like it might be memorable.

00:17:57.000 And the New York Times cutting that and then replacing that back into the story is really insane.

00:18:02.000 Okay, so Kamala Harris, of course, immediately tweets out that it's time for Kavanaugh to go.

00:18:07.000 It's time for Kavanaugh to go.

00:18:08.000 By the way, Steyer, the chief executive of a nonpartisan group in Washington, declined to comment on Sunday.

00:18:14.000 But this did not stop the Democrats.

00:18:16.000 So the Democrats started tweeting out immediately.

00:18:19.000 Kamala Harris says, Yeah, you sat through those hearings.

00:18:21.000 I remember you tried to railroad him in those hearings.

00:18:23.000 In fact, you brought up Michael Avenatti's allegations that he was engaged in a chain gang rape, as I recall.

00:18:26.000 Yeah, you sat through those hearings.

00:18:33.000 I remember you tried to railroad him in those hearings.

00:18:34.000 In fact, you brought up Michael Avenatti's allegations that he was engaged in a chain gang rape, as I recall.

00:18:39.000 So, lady, as a prosecutor, as a duly appointed officer of the court, seems to me you don't know how to lawyer.

00:18:49.000 There are a lot of allegations that she has been pretty rough in prosecution.

00:18:53.000 At least the people she puts in jail have a jury trial. 1.00

00:18:56.000 I mean, she's out there saying that he lied.

00:18:56.000 My God.

00:18:58.000 What is her evidence that he lied?

00:18:59.000 Does she have any evidence that he lied?

00:19:01.000 Of course not.

00:19:01.000 All of this is about pandering to the base.

00:19:04.000 All of it is about, if I show sufficient zealousness in pursuit of Brett Kavanaugh, then I'll win a primary. 0.83

00:19:10.000 It's really disgusting.

00:19:12.000 Elizabeth Warren did the same thing.

00:19:14.000 And Elizabeth Warren knows better.

00:19:15.000 She, of course, knows better.

00:19:15.000 She's a lawyer, too.

00:19:16.000 But again, Elizabeth Warren is deeply cynical.

00:19:19.000 In the same way that Kamala Harris is deeply cynical, Warren's just better at it.

00:19:22.000 Kamala Harris is so cynical that you can see the wheels turning in her mind. 0.90

00:19:28.000 Catherine Hepburn once described Meryl Streep as an actress where you could actually see every wheel turning, that she was transparent, you could see all the gear shifting in her mind when she was acting a scene. 0.59

00:19:38.000 Well, that is the same way with Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:19:40.000 Elizabeth Warren is better at hiding it, but she is the same way.

00:19:42.000 She has shifted nearly every position she ever held in order to appeal to the woke base of the Democratic Party.

00:19:47.000 Well, now she's doing the same routine. 0.72

00:19:48.000 She says, Last year, the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him.

00:19:53.000 Well, there was an FBI background check.

00:19:55.000 And by thorough examination of the allegations against him, do you mean, like, a crapload of investigation by the Senate and no corroborating evidence on any of the massive allegations made against him?

00:20:07.000 Like, none?

00:20:09.000 Warren says, confirmation is not exoneration.

00:20:11.000 And these newest revelations are disturbing.

00:20:13.000 I love the reversal of the burden of proof right there.

00:20:15.000 Confirmation is not exoneration.

00:20:18.000 It's not your job to exonerate Kavanaugh.

00:20:22.000 It's your job to prove, not even beyond a reasonable doubt, how about by preponderance of the evidence?

00:20:26.000 Hell, how about by any corroborative evidence that Kavanaugh did this stuff?

00:20:30.000 How about that?

00:20:31.000 How about any shred of evidence beyond just a mere allegation?

00:20:33.000 Because a mere allegation ain't enough to get anything done.

00:20:37.000 Warren says, like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.

00:20:41.000 Ooh, so Trump should be impeached too.

00:20:43.000 See, now we have a bidding war on impeachment.

00:20:46.000 So apparently Kavanaugh should be impeached, and then Trump should be impeached, and then Pence should be impeached.

00:20:51.000 And they should probably just impeach every- like Mitch McConnell, let's go for him for good measure.

00:20:54.000 But you'd have a bidding war.

00:20:55.000 Bernie's gonna be like, we impeach everybody!

00:20:57.000 Everybody should be impeached except for me, I will remain.

00:21:00.000 I mean, this is pretty sick stuff.

00:21:02.000 Beto O'Rourke does the same thing.

00:21:04.000 Smokes up a dude and he's like, brah, yesterday we learned of another accusation against Brett Kavanaugh.

00:21:09.000 One we didn't find out about before he was confirmed.

00:21:12.000 Because the Senate forced the FBI, brah, to rush its investigation to save his nomination.

00:21:16.000 We know he lied under oath.

00:21:18.000 He should be impeached.

00:21:20.000 No, you don't know he lied under oath.

00:21:21.000 You can provide no evidence that he lied under oath, actually.

00:21:25.000 I love Beto O'Rourke, a man who literally crossed a median barrier while driving under the influence and hit another car and then drove away from the scene all over Brett Kavanaugh because one guy made an allegation he won't even talk to the New York Times about.

00:21:41.000 Julian Castro joined the club.

00:21:42.000 He said, it's more clear than ever that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath.

00:21:45.000 Really?

00:21:45.000 He should be impeached.

00:21:47.000 Again, where's the evidence of this?

00:21:49.000 Any evidence?

00:21:49.000 He's saying Congress should review the failure of the Department of Justice to properly investigate the matter.

00:21:54.000 On the basis of what?

00:21:55.000 The New York Times corrected its own story to suggest that the alleged victim in this case does not recall the incident.

00:22:02.000 That there is no evidence that she even recalls the incident.

00:22:05.000 That this is based on one uncorroborated allegation by a dude at a party.

00:22:11.000 And there are lots of other people at the party.

00:22:13.000 And there's a victim.

00:22:14.000 And the victim says she doesn't remember it.

00:22:17.000 I mean, we went through all of this at the time, so the only new allegation here is the Max Steyer allegation. 0.98

00:22:22.000 And that Max Steyer allegation actually includes a case of sexual assault, not against Kavanaugh, but against the guy who grabbed his junk. 0.66

00:22:31.000 As John McCormick points out at National Review, he says, can someone explain the logistics of the allegation here? 0.95

00:22:37.000 Was Kavanaugh allegedly walking around naked when his friends pushed him into the female student? 0.99

00:22:41.000 He says, no, if I'm reading Pogromin and Kelly right, the friends didn't push Kavanaugh on the back, rather, the friends pushed his penis. 0.99

00:22:48.000 How did that happen? 1.00

00:22:48.000 He says, what? 1.00

00:22:49.000 Who are the friends?

00:22:50.000 Who's the female student? 1.00

00:22:51.000 Were there any witnesses besides Steyer?

00:22:54.000 He says, all that the authors write in the New York Times essay about the corroborating, Is this, Mr. Steyer notified senators and the FBI about the accounts, but the FBI didn't investigate and Steyer has declined to discuss publicly.

00:23:06.000 So they corroborated the fact that Steyer made the allegation to the FBI, but they gave no indication that they corroborated any details of the incident.

00:23:14.000 Molly Hemingway, who's written her own book about the railroading of Justice Kavanaugh, she wrote on Twitter, the book notes quietly that the woman Max Steyer named as having been supposedly victimized by Kavanaugh and friends denies any memory of the alleged event.

00:23:27.000 As McCormick says, omitting this fact from the New York Times story is one of the worst cases of journalistic malpractice in recent memory.

00:23:34.000 He says, even if you take this accusation at face value, it doesn't appear to be an allegation of assault against Kavanaugh.

00:23:40.000 If somebody grabs you and throws you into somebody else, you are not actually the assaulter.

00:23:43.000 The person who grabbed you and threw you into somebody else would be the person guilty of assault.

00:23:47.000 The same thing would be true here.

00:23:50.000 As McCormick says, as I wrote last October, here's why Ramirez's allegation was dubious.

00:23:54.000 Deborah Ramirez is the Yale classmate of Kavanaugh's who now claims Kavanaugh exposed himself as a college freshman at a party.

00:24:01.000 Her claim is already dubious because named witnesses deny the allegation and Ramirez herself wasn't sure in recent weeks if Kavanaugh had done what she now alleges.

00:24:10.000 It doesn't matter.

00:24:11.000 All that matters is that the Democrats are calling for Kavanaugh to be impeached, which is really about... it's a bunch of nonsense.

00:24:16.000 Now, President Trump has responded to the allegations, and he is dead right on all of this.

00:24:20.000 We'll get to that in just one second.

00:24:22.000 First, let's talk about going to the post office.

00:24:24.000 Now, I'll be honest with you.

00:24:25.000 I kind of like the post office, but I'll tell you what I don't like. 0.90

00:24:27.000 Spending a lot of time in line, having to schlep all my stuff down to the post office, it's a pain in the butt.

00:24:31.000 So instead, I save time and I save money by using stamps.com.

00:25:34.000 Okay, so. 0.89

00:25:35.000 Trump has responded to these ridiculous allegations against Kavanaugh.

00:25:39.000 He tweeted out, Now the radical left Democrats and their partner, the lamestream media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment.

00:25:46.000 He's an innocent man who has been treated horribly.

00:25:48.000 Such lies about him, they want to scare him into turning liberal.

00:25:52.000 Which, by the way, is not wholly untrue.

00:25:56.000 Okay, the fact is that one of the things that the media love to do is grant strange new respect to people who suddenly begin interpreting the law according to their favorite designs.

00:26:04.000 John Roberts has been the recipient of strange new respect in the past.

00:26:07.000 You've seen other Republican justices, Republican appointed justices, Justice Stevens, for example, Justice Kennedy, who are also hit with the strange new respect.

00:26:15.000 Trump says Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue.

00:26:19.000 Now, I'm not sure how the Justice Department will come to his rescue.

00:26:23.000 Politicizing the Justice Department by having him investigate the people making the allegations.

00:26:27.000 I'm not sure how that's a federal crime.

00:26:29.000 He says the lies being told about him are unbelievable.

00:26:31.000 That is true.

00:26:32.000 He says false accusations without recrimination.

00:26:34.000 When does it stop?

00:26:35.000 They're trying to influence his opinions.

00:26:37.000 Can't let that happen.

00:26:38.000 Now again, that's not really what they're trying to do.

00:26:41.000 It really is not about influencing Kavanaugh to do their bidding.

00:26:44.000 It really mostly is about making the false promise to their voters that they are going to be able to get rid of Kavanaugh and then replace him with a leftist.

00:26:53.000 Majority leader Mitch McConnell in the Senate wrote that the far left's willingness to seize on completely uncorroborated and unsubstantiated allegations during last year's confirmation process was a dark and embarrassing chapter for the Senate.

00:27:05.000 Of course, all the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, as I mentioned, are now calling for his impeachment despite the fact that there really is no evidence that any of this is true.

00:27:14.000 Mike Davis, who was chief counsel for Senator Charles Grassley during the Kavanaugh nomination process, said that, to the best of his knowledge, Grassley's office had no record of the allegation.

00:27:23.000 He says, even if we did receive an allegation from Mr. Steyer, as described by the New York Times reporting, it is difficult to see how this unsubstantiated hearsay, quote-unquote, corroborated by anonymous sources, involving an alleged victim, who other unnamed sources said does not even remember the event, would have changed the outcome of the confirmation vote.

00:27:41.000 All of this is ridiculous, and all of it is politically driven.

00:27:43.000 But if Democrats want to play this game, then I guess that they can play this game. 0.93

00:27:48.000 Now, it's interesting.

00:27:49.000 One of the Democrats who did not go here was Joe Biden.

00:27:52.000 And this is because Joe Biden is smart enough to recognize that this dog won't hunt in a general election.

00:27:58.000 Joe Biden seems to be the only Democrat who seems at all to care about the general election.

00:28:03.000 He seems like the only person in the Democratic Party who is even considering what the general election means.

00:28:08.000 All the other Democrats are so busy trying to pander to the far left of the party that they are willing to put out their uncorroborated allegations to target people without any evidence that something was done wrong.

00:28:20.000 It's pretty insane.

00:28:21.000 And for that trouble, Biden is being ripped, of course.

00:28:23.000 So Biden's great sin in the last debate was apparently that he didn't answer a question about the legacy of slavery properly.

00:28:29.000 Instead, he rambled about record players and education, and it was real weird.

00:28:34.000 Remember that last week he had made some suggestions about how education, because poorer kids don't hear as many words per day, they need to have record players played to them or something.

00:28:43.000 It was very, very odd.

00:28:44.000 And people pointed this out.

00:28:46.000 And the media have gone after him for all of this.

00:28:49.000 The media do not want to see Joe Biden as the nominee because they feel that he is not radical enough.

00:28:54.000 Members of the media are not interested in Joe Biden.

00:28:57.000 Joe Biden is, even though he is pretty radical on policy, he's too moderate for them.

00:29:00.000 They want to see a true visionary.

00:29:02.000 They want to see Kamala Harris, a racial visionary.

00:29:05.000 Or they want to see Elizabeth Warren, a visionary, a socialistic, progressive visionary, or Bernie Sanders.

00:29:09.000 They don't want anything as boring as a Biden-Trump race.

00:29:12.000 That's not what they want.

00:29:13.000 So instead, they're going to attack Biden on the racial issue.

00:29:16.000 This dog is not gonna hunt, and I'll explain why in a second, but there's no question this is where the media are going.

00:29:21.000 An entire CNN panel on Sunday was devoted to the idea that Joe Biden comes from the era of racist paternalism, that somehow it's paternalistic to point out that children of single mothers who are disproportionately minority might need some help in the home.

00:29:36.000 And that's not a race-based thing.

00:29:37.000 You only have one parent there, and that does have a pretty significant impact on the education of a child.

00:29:42.000 But apparently this is now racist paternalism, according to a CNN panel.

00:29:46.000 It seems to me that he constantly makes these gaps which are out of touch with where we are today because he comes from an era of this like racist paternalism in public policy making of how we have looked at dealing with the issues that the black community faces which frankly come from racist public policy making.

00:30:07.000 OK, so I'm sorry, but not having fathers in the home does not come from racist public policymaking.

00:30:13.000 It does not. 0.96

00:30:13.000 That is just silly. 0.96

00:30:14.000 OK, it's silly at this point in time. 0.95

00:30:16.000 It did start with that when it came to slavery, when you were forcibly separating families.

00:30:20.000 But the fact is that more children are now born out of wedlock in the United States in the black community than were born out of wedlock during slavery in the black community.

00:30:27.000 That is not a result of slavery.

00:30:29.000 Because you can see the single motherhood levels declining in the black community dramatically all the way up to the 1950s when only 20% of kids born in black families were born to single mothers.

00:30:40.000 Now that number is more like 70%.

00:30:42.000 Is that the result of racist policymaking?

00:30:44.000 If so, that's a result of welfare.

00:30:46.000 The best case to be made for the increase in single motherhood in both the black and white community is that when the government comes in and pays you benefits in order not to have a father in the home, that is going to make it easier for you not to have a father in the home. 0.95

00:30:57.000 But apparently, if Joe Biden points out that there are significant downsides to single motherhood, and that is true cross-culturally, then this makes him a racist.

00:31:04.000 There's an article in the Washington Post to this effect today, saying no record players won't solve inequality.

00:31:09.000 There's an article by Mikhal Raz, who is the professor in public policy at the University of Rochester, suggesting that Joe Biden is in fact racist and paternalistic because if he points out an education gap in particular racial communities, then this is in and of itself racist.

00:31:24.000 She says the mention of the word gap in response to a question about centuries of American racism reveals a broader problem.

00:31:30.000 While Biden mentioned redlining and other racist practices at the beginning of his answer, he ends it with the word gap, itself a paternalistic racist idea.

00:31:37.000 Well, no, a gap is a statistical anomaly.

00:31:40.000 A gap is a statistical reality. 0.96

00:31:43.000 That's ridiculous.

00:31:44.000 If you mention the word gap between two groups of people because there is an actual statistical gap, that is not racism. 0.93

00:31:50.000 But the woke left is going to try and portray Joe Biden as a racist for talking about certain realities on the ground.

00:31:55.000 As we will see, this has become a talking point in the Democratic Party.

00:31:58.000 They ain't going to go anywhere, and I'll explain why in just one second.

00:32:00.000 First, let's talk about how you get the word out about yourself.

00:32:03.000 When you go to a party, And somebody asks you for a business card.

00:32:06.000 Are you pulling out, like, something that you made over at Kinko's in, like, 1997, and it's on cheap paper, and it's printed in Helvetica font or something?

00:32:13.000 What you really need is a nice-looking business card.

00:32:16.000 It really does make a difference.

00:32:16.000 I get handed a lot of business cards, and the ones that tend to make it to my assistants' Rolodex are the ones that people have spent time on, they've spent money on, or the ones that look the nicest.

00:32:25.000 If you go to Vistaprint, you can get the ones that look like you spent time and money on them, and you don't have to spend a fortune.

00:32:25.000 Here's the nice thing.

00:32:30.000 Your next big opportunity is coming right now.

00:32:32.000 All it takes to feel like you're ready to own the now is $10.

00:32:35.000 For just $10, Vistaprint gives you 500 personalized cards with exactly the look that you want.

00:32:40.000 That's a low price to make a lasting impression.

00:32:42.000 And because you can choose the colors and the fonts and the designs and the images, you can create something as unique and compelling as your business.

00:34:20.000 We're the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:34:23.000 So as I say, the rap on Joe Biden is twofold now. 0.94

00:34:34.000 One is that he is an old-style racist who's just covering it up. 0.93

00:34:38.000 And the other is that he's really old. 0.94

00:34:40.000 We'll get to the old thing in one second.

00:34:41.000 But the old-style racist thing, Pete Buttigieg tried to say this yesterday.

00:34:45.000 Woke Pete Buttigieg, who's been having some pretty significant racial problems in his hometown of South Bend, Indiana, where he's mayor.

00:34:51.000 He was on CNN, and he suggests Biden gave a really bad answer on the legacy of slavery. 0.99

00:34:54.000 So now, the way that you're going to become the Democratic presidential nominee is we are going to have you recite from memory portions of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, a garbage piece of crap book. 0.94

00:35:05.000 And if you do it properly, like Beto O'Rourke, then we all cheer like seals. 0.95

00:35:08.000 Oh, it's so exciting.

00:35:09.000 So Pete Buttigieg did his reading last night from Howard Zinn, and now he's very angry at Joe Biden.

00:35:14.000 It was a well-intentioned answer and it was a bad answer.

00:35:17.000 The reason that we are seeing racial inequity in this country is that it was put into place on purpose.

00:35:23.000 And I'm not just talking about slavery beginning 400 years ago.

00:35:27.000 I'm talking about policy decisions that happened within living memory that excluded black Americans from everything from fully being able to access the GI Bill to labor protections.

00:35:38.000 These have consequences.

00:35:40.000 Okay, so again, this is going to be the claim.

00:35:42.000 The claim is going to be that Joe Biden is insufficiently woke on race.

00:35:45.000 There's only one problem.

00:35:45.000 He was Barack Obama's VP for eight years, and that goes a long way.

00:35:48.000 Joe Biden gave a big speech in Birmingham, Alabama at a church that was formerly bombed during the civil rights struggle.

00:35:54.000 And here was Biden talking about racism and talking about slavery and talking about Barack Obama.

00:36:00.000 We must acknowledge that there can be no realization of the American dream without grappling with the original sin of slavery.

00:36:09.000 We have not relegated racism and white supremacy to the pages of history.

00:36:18.000 But the greatness of this nation has always been, and must continue to be, that we still strive to relegate it.

00:36:29.000 Okay, so that line, by the way, is a great line.

00:36:32.000 Like, I actually agree with Joe Biden.

00:36:33.000 There's a gap that is breaking out in the Democratic Party between Joe Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party.

00:36:38.000 One is the version of history that Beto O'Rourke is pushing.

00:36:40.000 America was founded in slavery.

00:36:42.000 America's real founding wasn't 1776, it was 1619.

00:36:45.000 And this is the version cheered on by the New York Times and CNN.

00:36:48.000 And then there's the version that was actually pushed by Barack Obama.

00:36:51.000 Right?

00:36:51.000 It actually was.

00:36:53.000 Yeah, I think that Barack Obama was terrible on a lot of issues, but he never really suggested that America's foundational principles were rooted in slavery, right?

00:37:00.000 His line typically was a lot more along the lines of what Joe Biden is saying, which is that, yes, America has this dark side, right?

00:37:06.000 There's the other half of the coin, but America has been striving to get rid of that for years.

00:37:11.000 I will say that I think Obama's straight into Howard Zinn territory a fair bit too often, saying that racism was written into the American DNA and all this kind of stuff.

00:37:18.000 But Joe Biden's line here is more appealing to a mass audience.

00:37:20.000 And let's be real about this.

00:37:22.000 Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, these are all very, very white candidates.

00:37:27.000 And even when Kamala Harris tried a racial attack, it turns out that didn't work for her. 1.00

00:37:30.000 Cory Booker's been trying it.

00:37:31.000 It's not working.

00:37:32.000 Why?

00:37:32.000 Because Joe Biden was Barack Obama's vice president.

00:37:34.000 So I think that this is unlikely to work on Joe Biden.

00:37:38.000 Even the attempts to get Joe Biden, like there was an attempt to get Joe Biden yesterday because he told a story about facing down a razor-wielding gang leader named Corn Pop.

00:37:45.000 And it was all, it was very weird.

00:37:46.000 It was very weird.

00:37:47.000 But it turns out that a leader of the NAACP was there and actually says that this story is true.

00:37:51.000 Here's Joe Biden telling a very weird leader, a very weird story about how he was once in a real-life production of West Side Story.

00:37:59.000 And Corn Pop was a bad dude.

00:38:02.000 And he ran a bunch of bad boys.

00:38:05.000 And I did.

00:38:07.000 And back in those days, you see how things have changed?

00:38:10.000 One of the things you had to use, if you used pomade in your hair, you had to wear a bathing cap.

00:38:14.000 And so he was up on the board, wouldn't listen to me.

00:38:16.000 I said, hey, Esther, you, off the board, or I'll come up and drag you off. 1.00

00:38:21.000 Well, he came off, and he said, I'll meet you outside.

00:38:23.000 He said, I'll be waiting for you.

00:38:25.000 He was waiting for three guys in straight razors.

00:38:28.000 Not a joke.

00:38:29.000 Okay, and then he continues to tell this story.

00:38:31.000 People were all over him for this.

00:38:32.000 A leader of the NAACP said it was true.

00:38:34.000 Again, I think that the racial attack on Joe Biden is unlikely to work.

00:38:37.000 So, that moves the Democrats to their secondary attack.

00:38:40.000 And the secondary attack is, Joe Biden is really old.

00:38:43.000 So Pete Buttigieg, who is just smarmy beyond belief, he was asked about Biden's fitness for office on ABC News, as though he's actually relevant.

00:38:51.000 And Buttigieg dodged the question, of course.

00:38:54.000 You jumped on one of the contenders, Julian Castro, after he made that inaccurate suggestion that Vice President Biden didn't remember what he was saying at the debate.

00:39:03.000 But it did raise all these questions again about Vice President Biden's age and fitness for office.

00:39:07.000 Do you share that concern?

00:39:09.000 I think that's for the voters to decide.

00:39:11.000 Look, each one of us is competing based on our abilities and based on our vision.

00:39:16.000 And I think the candidate who has the best abilities and vision is going to prevail.

00:39:20.000 I think we can lay out the differences without hitting below the belt.

00:39:24.000 Okay, except that you refuse to answer the question.

00:39:26.000 What you could just say is, I think Joe Biden's with it.

00:39:29.000 If he's the nominee, I'll back him.

00:39:30.000 I just don't think he's the best candidate at this time, right?

00:39:32.000 But the booty judge isn't going to go there. 0.97

00:39:34.000 Again, I think that this attack is probably going to fall flat.

00:39:36.000 It is all baked into the cake at this point.

00:39:37.000 Plus, Joe Biden is a feisty oldster.

00:39:40.000 I mean, that is true.

00:39:41.000 I mean, he does fall asleep randomly on the street and he drools sometimes.

00:39:45.000 And, you know, he likes that early bird dinner at Denny's, but if you ask him certain questions, then he gets kind of feisty.

00:39:50.000 A reporter asked him about being too old and he threatened to wrestle him yesterday.

00:39:53.000 Are you releasing your medical records to address concerns?

00:39:56.000 Yes.

00:39:56.000 I don't have what the hell concerns, man.

00:39:58.000 You want to wrestle?

00:40:01.000 When will you release them, sir?

00:40:02.000 Well, when I get the next physical.

00:40:04.000 Look, I'll release my... Before there's a first vote, I'll release my medical records.

00:40:12.000 There's no reason for me not to release my medical records.

00:40:15.000 Okay, so again, I don't think that, yes, he's old, yes, he's stammering.

00:40:19.000 I don't think that any of this is fatal to his candidacy.

00:40:21.000 Now, we'll see what the poll results have to say about the results from last week's debate, but the other Democrats are increasing, they're very weak, and I think that the attacks on Biden are particularly weak.

00:40:31.000 I thought that Elizabeth Warren was going to rise above the crowd. 1.00

00:40:34.000 That has not happened thus far.

00:40:35.000 Okay, now, in other news over the weekend, non-presidential news over the weekend, There was a massive attack on a Saudi oil facility by allegedly Iran.

00:40:47.000 Now, the reason I say allegedly Iran is because Iran denies it, but in reality there's no other force in the region capable of carrying out this attack.

00:40:53.000 The attack was done by drones apparently provided by Iran to the Houthis in Yemen, who are the Iranian-backed Rebel group in Yemen.

00:41:02.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for coordinated strikes on the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil industry, saying they marked an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply.

00:41:11.000 The strikes actually shut down half of the kingdom's crude production on Saturday, potentially roiling petroleum prices and demonstrating the power of Iran's proxies. 0.96

00:41:19.000 Iran-allied Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen claimed credit for the attack, saying they sent 10 drones to strike at important facilities in Saudi Arabia's oil-rich eastern province.

00:41:27.000 Pompeo said that there was actually no evidence the strikes had come from Yemen.

00:41:30.000 He says they came directly from Iran.

00:41:32.000 He said the United States will work with allies to ensure that energy markets remain well-supplied and Iran is held accountable for its aggression. 0.99

00:41:38.000 He added that the strikes showed Iran was not serious about diplomacy.

00:41:42.000 Which is a major shift in tone and tenor because there was a lot of rumor mongering that President Trump was going to meet directly with the Iranian proxy president Hassan Rouhani in person without preconditions.

00:41:52.000 Trump has now backed off of that.

00:41:53.000 Trump has now tweeted out that it was always fake news that he was ever going to meet with Hassan Rouhani, which it was not.

00:41:58.000 Okay, Mike Pompeo was on national TV talking about how Trump might meet with Rouhani without preconditions.

00:42:03.000 And there's a lot of concern in some quarters, including my quarter, that the ouster of John Bolton amounted to President Trump preparing to make concessions to the Iranians.

00:42:11.000 I would not be surprised in the slightest if the Iranians saw Bolton's ouster as an excuse for them to engage in an act of violence like this. 0.98

00:42:18.000 to try to intimidate the Europeans into caving. 0.74

00:42:21.000 It is exactly the same behavior that you've seen from the North Koreans for years, is when they seek to extract a concession from the West. 0.97

00:42:27.000 They fire off a bunch of missiles.

00:42:28.000 They do a bunch of nuclear tests.

00:42:30.000 And then they say, you know, we won't do any of that if you give us money.

00:42:33.000 Iran might be trying the same thing here.

00:42:35.000 Also, they are artificially raising the price of oil, apparently so that their limited supply can bring more on the open market.

00:42:41.000 They also attacked a tanker over the weekend in the Straits of Hormuz again.

00:42:45.000 The production shutdown amounts to a loss of about 5.7 million barrels a day, the Kingdom's national oil company said, which is roughly 5% of the world's daily production of crude oil, which is pretty significant.

00:42:55.000 Officials said they hoped to restore production to its regular level of 9.8 million barrels a day by Monday.

00:43:01.000 The energy minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, said lost production would be offset through supplies of oil already on hand, so he pledged that there wouldn't be a dramatic spike in the price of oil.

00:43:10.000 The Wall Street Journal says the strikes mark the latest in a series of attacks on the country's petroleum assets in recent months, as tensions rise among Iran and its proxies like the Houthis and the U.S.

00:43:18.000 partners like Saudi Arabia.

00:43:20.000 The attacks could drive up oil prices if the Saudis can't turn on their production quickly enough.

00:43:26.000 Trump called Saudi Arabia's day-to-day ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Saturday.

00:43:30.000 He said the U.S.

00:43:31.000 was ready to cooperate with the kingdom in supporting its security and stability.

00:43:35.000 And of course, as I say, the attacks happened a few days before world leaders are set to gather in New York for the UN General Assembly.

00:43:41.000 The Iranians presumably will attempt to claim that it is Trump's pressure and exit from the Iran deal that have provoked all of this.

00:43:47.000 Naturally, the left in American foreign policy will agree with that, because always blame America first.

00:43:53.000 You always got to make it about America being the agent provocateur in the Middle East, despite the fact that Iran has been engaged in widespread terror campaigns for at least the last four decades.

00:44:02.000 Saturday's attack was the largest yet claimed by the Houthis in terms of its overall impact on the Saudi economy.

00:44:08.000 Fabian Hinz is an arms researcher at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California.

00:44:13.000 He said the attack has been quite surprising.

00:44:15.000 He says we've seen quite a few drone and missile attacks against Saudi infrastructure.

00:44:18.000 In most cases, the actual damage has been quite minimal.

00:44:22.000 Even before Pompeo tweeted about it, analysts cautioned against accepting the Houthi claim that they are the ones who did it, as opposed to the Iranians directly.

00:44:30.000 Iran of course is denying and then they say they're ready for war with the United States.

00:44:33.000 So it's an intimidation tactic is what this most looks like.

00:44:35.000 An intimidation tactic by Iran in an attempt to extract concessions from Europe and the United States to drive a wedge between Europe and the United States with regard to Iran. 0.61

00:44:44.000 If by the way this does create that effect, If what you see here is the Europeans siding with the Iranians, it just shows the cowardice of the Europeans, because it's perfectly obvious what the Iranians are doing here. 0.88

00:44:54.000 Do you really trust a country that is bombing Saudi oil facilities to keep its commitments if we just sign them some cash?

00:45:00.000 Or do you think that probably they're going to keep funding all of the groups they were funding before, except in elevated fashion?

00:45:06.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, this is the big one.

00:45:09.000 They call this the big one.

00:45:10.000 They say the technical sophistication and audacity of Saturday's attack will linger over the energy market Well, the truth is that this could have some pretty significant impact on world markets generally and how we allocate resources to protect those markets.

00:45:24.000 And yes, we are still dependent enough on oil that we should be protecting against Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia just the way that we protected against Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait and attempting to invade Saudi Arabia back in the first Gulf War.

00:45:36.000 The limited goal of protecting America's oil supply, that does have a massive impact on the global economy and allowing Iran concessions. 0.99

00:45:43.000 So that Iran can go forward and participate in terror is an insane, insane policy. 0.82

00:45:49.000 Again, I think that what you're seeing is the Trump administration come around to that.

00:45:54.000 Iran, ironically, actually just cut in favor of John Bolton's position with their increased violence.

00:45:58.000 There's one thing that Trump doesn't like, and that's being pushed into a corner.

00:46:01.000 Nobody pushes baby into a corner.

00:46:03.000 President Trump is not interested in being pushed around by the Iranians. 1.00

00:46:06.000 Their best move here would have been to keep quiet, just the way that the North Koreans were keeping quiet for a while, and then try to engage in personal diplomacy with President Trump.

00:46:15.000 But apparently they needed cover with their own people for any sort of meeting.

00:46:19.000 There are a lot of analysts today who are suggesting that basically Iran engaged in these acts of violence so that they can then engage in negotiations while telling their domestic audience that they are standing up to the United States.

00:46:29.000 But there's one problem.

00:46:30.000 Trump ain't gonna sit down if you're punching him in the face at the same time.

00:46:34.000 President Trump does not like being humiliated on the public stage, and he sees this as an attack on his prestige and on his willingness to take a strong stand.

00:46:43.000 So this is a pretty major mistake, I think, by the Iranians. 1.00

00:46:46.000 Meanwhile, over in Israel, it is 48 hours to the Israeli election.

00:46:51.000 The media are doing their damnedest to get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu. 0.92

00:46:54.000 They are trying to claim that Netanyahu is a fascist. 0.91

00:46:56.000 He is not.

00:46:56.000 He's been elected a bajillion times.

00:46:58.000 He is not in any way encroached on democracy in the state of Israel.

00:47:01.000 The media continue to operate fully and freely and openly.

00:47:04.000 There's a long article, a terrible article, in the Washington Post today suggesting that Israel is part of the decline of liberal order, which is insane.

00:47:11.000 Israel is the only liberal country in the Middle East.

00:47:14.000 The contention is that because Israel is trying to navigate the world of international politics by making friends with illiberal states like Saudi Arabia and Hungary, that somehow this amounts to Netanyahu giving in to fascism.

00:47:27.000 Well, why don't you provide him an alternative by, let's say, France not being anti-semitic or Germany not being anti-semitic or Britain not making way for Jeremy Corbyn?

00:47:35.000 You know it's a really easy way for Israel to be more pro-France, for France to be more pro-Israel. 0.59

00:47:39.000 It turns out that Israel has a pretty Obvious agenda here, and that's its own survival. 0.99

00:47:44.000 But apparently, according to the media, that's out of bounds.

00:47:46.000 They're going to be very surprised, honestly.

00:47:48.000 The media are going to be super surprised if Blue and White, which is the rival party to Netanyahu in Israel, if Blue and White is elected, and they somehow form a coalition, which looks doubtful in the lead-up to this election.

00:47:59.000 It looks like, by latest polling, Netanyahu still has enough for a coalition, which is unbelievable.

00:48:03.000 The guy's an incredible poli- Just on a political level, you have to admire the guy.

00:48:07.000 With that said, if blue and white were to take over, Kachov Levan, what you would see is actually them mirroring Netanyahu's exact foreign policy.

00:48:14.000 That foreign policy is not changing.

00:48:15.000 Why?

00:48:16.000 Because the on-the-ground conditions have not changed.

00:48:18.000 In fact, you know who supports the idea of extending Israeli sovereignty over some of the Jordan Valley?

00:48:24.000 Kachov Levan.

00:48:25.000 The exact party that the left is trying to uphold.

00:48:28.000 Now you want to know why the left really opposes Netanyahu?

00:48:30.000 The hard left?

00:48:31.000 Because Netanyahu's just a proxy for Israel, that's it. 0.79

00:48:33.000 And if Blue and White were to take over, they would feel the same way.

00:48:36.000 Because any party in Israel that refuses to make concessions to terrorists will be seen as the problem.

00:48:42.000 The person who makes this clearest, of course, is brutal anti-Semite Ilhan Omar, who can't go more than 35 seconds without shouting about the Jews while she was on Face the Nation, because we have to pretend she's a legitimate political figure, unlike Steve King, who is not a legitimate political figure.

00:48:55.000 Ilhan Omar, who is a bigot, is on Face the Nation talking about her wonderful grand plans for the country.

00:49:03.000 When she talked on Face the Nation about Netanyahu, she said Netanyahu's existence, his existence, was a threat to peace.

00:49:09.000 You know, not Hamas, a terrorist group that fires missiles into the center of Israel.

00:49:13.000 Not Hezbollah, a terrorist group that fires rockets into northern Israel.

00:49:17.000 Not Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group that is part of a coalition government.

00:49:20.000 Not the Palestinian Authority, which pays the families of terrorists.

00:49:24.000 Benjamin Netanyahu, the duly elected leader of Israel, his existence, his very breathing is a threat to Middle Eastern peace according to rabid anti-Semidel Hanomar.

00:49:34.000 Do you stand by your call for a boycott of Israel?

00:49:40.000 I certainly hope that the people of Israel make a different decision.

00:49:45.000 And my hope is that they recognize that his existence, his policies, his rhetoric really is contradictory to the peace that we are all hoping that that region receives and receives soon.

00:50:01.000 Okay, so that would be a yes.

00:50:03.000 I'm continuing to call for Israel's boycott. 1.00

00:50:04.000 Does anyone truly think that Omar is suddenly going to call off her desire for a boycott if Netanyahu is no longer Prime Minister? 0.99

00:50:10.000 What absolute garbage. 1.00

00:50:11.000 What absolute nonsense. 1.00

00:50:12.000 Netanyahu, again, is great at domestic politics.

00:50:17.000 I love when there's international scrutiny on domestic political infighting in a full-on democracy.

00:50:22.000 It's always very entertaining to me.

00:50:24.000 There's never any sort of scrutiny on, you know, the actual ruling coalition in the Palestinian Authority.

00:50:30.000 Mahmoud Abbas is currently in the, let's see, 13th year of a four-year term?

00:50:35.000 Have you seen any scrutiny about that at all?

00:50:36.000 There's a story today about the Turkish government claiming that Israel's an apartheid state.

00:50:39.000 Oh, you mean the radical dictatorship in Turkey that supports Hamas?

00:50:44.000 The media's coverage of Israel is always wild and insane and biased.

00:50:49.000 The fact is, there is wide consensus in Israeli society on foreign policy, and I think the world will be shocked to learn that that consensus is not driven, in fact, by Bibi Netanyahu and his cruel, cruel view of the world.

00:51:00.000 It's driven by actual circumstance, namely, that the supposed partners in peace over there are actual terrorists.

00:51:05.000 Okay, coming up, we'll do a quick thing I like, and then we'll do some things that I hate.

00:51:09.000 So, things that I like.

00:51:10.000 So my boy, Andrew Yang, I thought said something that was quite classy.

00:51:13.000 Over the weekend.

00:51:14.000 So Andrew Yang was asked about this guy who is on SNL.

00:51:18.000 And this person on SNL, apparently in some old tape, he used some racial slurs about Asians.

00:51:27.000 And he suggested that he made some racist jokes about the Chinese.

00:51:31.000 According to the New York Times, he made racist remarks mocking Chinese people, used a racial slur in a podcast episode last year.

00:51:39.000 He then apologized on Twitter for it.

00:51:41.000 Apparently, the conversation began with a discussion about Chinatown.

00:51:45.000 And Gillis said, I'd like to go down there and be like, what are you guys doing here?

00:51:48.000 Get those ducks out of that window. 1.00

00:51:50.000 And then later, Gillis mocked a Chinese boy who he described as practicing his English, said we had to move tables.

00:51:54.000 It was so annoying.

00:51:55.000 That's more annoying than any other minority playing music at a restaurant loud on their phone. 0.99

00:51:59.000 And then he said, nice racism, like walking it back and making a joke about his own racial joke.

00:52:04.000 OK, so then he apologized for it.

00:52:06.000 Should he be fired?

00:52:06.000 And everyone went nuts.

00:52:07.000 Should he lose his job?

00:52:08.000 Because no one has ever told a racially-tins joke in comedy.

00:52:11.000 No one's ever done anything like that.

00:52:13.000 You mean professional comedians tell racially-tins jokes?

00:52:15.000 By the way, Dave Chappelle's getting all sorts of flack for his latest comedy special because of his words on woke social justice warriors.

00:52:23.000 Half of the special is about how he doesn't care about white people dying on streets of heroin overdoses, okay?

00:52:28.000 So people are making comedy jokes about race all the time.

00:52:30.000 As he's on Sari's special, he does the same thing.

00:52:33.000 So racial jokes are only okay when they're directed one way, apparently.

00:52:36.000 But this is why, again, I think Andrew Yang may be the only, like, nice person running for president of the United States, so I call him my boy, Andrew Yang, who came on my Sunday special and actually is a nice person whom I have met and is a human being.

00:52:46.000 So he was asked about this by Jake Tapper, and he said, you know what we could use in this society?

00:52:50.000 Maybe, like, a little forgiveness.

00:52:52.000 There's been a number of reactions to my call for forgiving Shane Gillis, and I've experienced a lot of anti-Asian racism throughout my upbringing, and it hurts.

00:53:04.000 But at the same time, bigger picture, I believe that our country has become excessively punitive and vindictive about remarks that people find offensive or racist, and that we need to try and move beyond that if we can, particularly in a case where the person You know, is in this case, to me, like a comedian whose words should be taken in a slightly different light.

00:53:29.000 Wouldn't you rather live in Andrew Yang's world than live in the woke, scold world where somebody uncovers a comment from 15 years ago, or 30 years ago, or 50 years ago, and you've changed, and you've apologized since it?

00:53:38.000 I mean, really, good for Andrew Yang.

00:53:39.000 Good for Andrew Yang.

00:53:40.000 I know that's unpopular among members of the social Democrat base, the same people who say that Joe Biden's a vicious racist, but good for Andrew Yang.

00:53:48.000 That is a good thing.

00:53:49.000 We need more of that in our society, and frankly, more of that from both sides of the aisle.

00:53:52.000 Okay, time for a quick thing that I hate.

00:53:58.000 So last week, you'll recall, there was a big controversy that broke out over an ad that ran during the Democratic debate in particular markets.

00:54:04.000 It was an ad from a group, this company's called New Minority Pack, and it was an ad directed against socialism by a Cambodian woman. 0.52

00:54:12.000 And the ad looked something like this, sounded something like this.

00:54:17.000 This is the face of socialism and ignorance.

00:54:21.000 Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horror of socialism?

00:54:25.000 My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. 0.95

00:54:31.000 That's socialism.

00:54:33.000 Forced obedience?

00:54:35.000 Starvation.

00:54:36.000 Mine is a face of freedom.

00:54:39.000 My skin is not white.

00:54:40.000 The lady's name is Elizabeth Heng.

00:54:42.000 And the name of the group is New GOP Faces Super PAC.

00:54:45.000 That lady's name, Elizabeth Heng.

00:54:47.000 And she got all sorts of flack for this.

00:54:49.000 Now again, it's a very hard-hitting ad.

00:54:52.000 I'm not sure I love the image of AOC's face being burned away, but it really is not about violence against AOC, the ad.

00:54:57.000 The ad is about how she doesn't understand socialism.

00:55:00.000 So the media, of course, took this to mean that this was calling AOC Pol Pot.

00:55:03.000 No, this is not calling AOC Pol Pot.

00:55:05.000 This is saying, I mean, the ad literally says she doesn't understand the effects of actual Marxist socialism.

00:55:10.000 So Chris Cuomo, who is a block of wood on CNN, Yeah, we're not allowed to call him Fredo, so we won't call him Fredo.

00:55:16.000 We will never ever call him Fredo.

00:55:18.000 It's a racial slur apparently for Italians, which Chris Cuomo discovered like three weeks ago, but we will never ever call him Fredo.

00:55:24.000 So here's Chris, here's not Fredo, who is talking on CNN with Elizabeth Hang, explaining that Pol Pot's regime wasn't about socialism, which is really interesting because it was totally about socialism. 0.53

00:55:33.000 You are so well educated, you know that you can talk about socialism any way you want.

00:55:38.000 Pol Pot was a brutal autocrat and dictator.

00:55:41.000 That wasn't about socialism. 0.99

00:55:43.000 That was about him being an evil human being.

00:55:47.000 You can go to Scandinavia or Denmark and see socialism.

00:55:50.000 They're not killing people.

00:55:53.000 No, that is, no, nope, no, nope, nope, nope.

00:55:55.000 If you go to Denmark or you go to Scandinavia, what you're actually not seeing is socialism.

00:55:58.000 You're seeing a social safety net based on a capitalist economy in which free market economics works and most ownership of goods and services is in private hands.

00:56:08.000 If you want to look at full-scale government top-down socialism, it does look like Pol Pot.

00:56:12.000 Every time it's tried.

00:56:13.000 If you're talking about full government nationalization of resources, it looks like Cuba, it looks like Venezuela, it looks like the USSR, it looks like Pol Pot. 0.76

00:56:19.000 Now, you can make the argument that AOC isn't for full-scale government nationalization of these industries.

00:56:25.000 The problem is that she keeps saying she's for nationalization of all industries.

00:56:30.000 There's a very famous joke about Winston Churchill talking to Clement Attlee, and the two of them are going to the urinal together, and Clement Attlee looks over, and Churchill sort of shies away, and Clement Attlee says, what, are we embarrassed, Winston?

00:56:44.000 And Winston looks back and says, no, Clement, it's just that every time you see something large, you want to nationalize it.

00:56:48.000 Well, that is the view of AOC when it comes to major American industries.

00:56:55.000 Chris Cuomo suggesting that Pol Pot has nothing to do with socialism is absurd.

00:56:58.000 It's absurd.

00:56:59.000 I mean, it's like saying that Hitler's Nazism had nothing to do with big government, it was actually a libertarian movement. 0.51

00:57:06.000 That is absolute sheer nonsense.

00:57:08.000 And then Chris Cuomo does super big journalisming.

00:57:11.000 It's journalisming time for Chris Cuomo.

00:57:12.000 Here's Chris Cuomo explaining that it's not just that Pol Pot isn't a socialist, it's that Elizabeth Hang, this pro-Trump Republican woman.

00:57:22.000 She's misdirecting her angst about socialism.

00:57:24.000 She should actually be angry at Trump.

00:57:26.000 So here's Chris Cuomo explaining as an objective journalist that someone with a different viewpoint should believe like he does as an objective journalist who hates Trump.

00:57:35.000 You know, I get that you want to make political points with this, but, you know, people like your family and what you represent, which, again, I believe is part of the blessing of this country, your fight is with the president that you support.

00:57:45.000 He's the one who talks about people like your parents, like there's some other that shouldn't be in this country, because they came here with nothing except the hope in their heart and wanting to make it.

00:57:56.000 He doesn't want those people in this country now.

00:57:58.000 AOC isn't your enemy.

00:58:00.000 You can go after her policies and say they don't fit in a capitalist society.

00:58:03.000 But if you may not believe it, but it's the truth, Elizabeth.

00:58:06.000 He's the one who's going after people like you.

00:58:07.000 Okay, no, it is not the truth.

00:58:08.000 It is your opinion.

00:58:09.000 Okay, Chris Cuomo declaring that what he believes, his opinion, is the truth. 0.99

00:58:13.000 So his opinion is Pol Pot wasn't a socialist, which is absolute crap. 0.99

00:58:16.000 It's ahistoric nonsense. 0.97

00:58:17.000 He is a self-stated Marxist-Leninist who attempted to cram down a Marxist-Leninist regime from above, so much so that he wanted the flag of Cambodia, which looked like a checkered flag.

00:58:28.000 It was the logo of his party.

00:58:29.000 He actually forced Okay, that is how doctrinaire Pol Pot was in his Marxism and Leninism. 0.51

00:58:33.000 looked like the flag, so there were perfectly equal squares looking like a checkerboard.

00:58:36.000 Okay, that is how doctrinaire Pol Pot was in his Marxism and Leninism. 0.70

00:58:41.000 And then he follows that up with, also, you should hate Trump, because Trump wouldn't let your parents in.

00:58:46.000 Is there any evidence that Trump would not let in the Vietnamese boat people? 0.99

00:58:48.000 Like, really, is there a lot of evidence of that?

00:58:51.000 Because I'm not particularly seeing that evidence.

00:58:53.000 Maybe you'd want them vetted, as far as humanly possible, for safety precautions.

00:58:57.000 But I've seen no evidence that Trump would have rejected the Vietnamese boat people who are attempting to escape, or Cambodians attempting to escape the Cambodian genocide.

00:59:05.000 Or people who are coming here legally, and not illegally.

00:59:09.000 That's pretty wild stuff there from Chris Cuomo.

00:59:12.000 Again, our media just outdoing themselves day in and day out.

00:59:14.000 Brilliant, brilliant stuff.

00:59:15.000 Alrighty, well we will be back here later with two additional hours of content, or we'll see you here tomorrow.
