00:02:37.000It was good to see the country come together after such a rough time because Democrats did, I thought, just a great job.
00:02:44.000I mean, like here is what happened at the Supreme Court immediately as Kavanaugh was being confirmed inside.
00:02:53.000For those who can't actually see this, these are people who are legitimately standing there beating on the 13-ton bronze doors of the Supreme Court.
00:03:00.000My favorite is this lady who's trying to pry the door open.
00:03:05.000Like Frodo trying to get into the Mines of Moria without the actual passcode.
00:03:10.000She's just there trying to pry open the doors with her bare hands, though the doors are gonna part before her.
00:03:36.000When y'all come back, get ready to physically fight these motherf***ers.
00:03:40.000When y'all come back, if y'all got any guts about you, be ready to fight these motherf***ers and f*** their asses up.
00:03:48.000When y'all come back, be ready to f*** up a pig.
00:03:52.000I'm sure that this fellow is an expert in the intricacies of Supreme Court jurisprudence based simply on the language that he's using.
00:03:59.000With regard to his political enemies, I'm sure that he knows the entire line of cases stretching prior to Griswold on the rights of privacy, and he's just upset at how that line of cases could be curbed by the presence of Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.
00:04:20.000It's some of the elites in our society.
00:04:23.000First of all, I'd be remiss here if I didn't note that Cory Gardner says that his wife has now received gruesome beheading video after his pro-Kavanaugh vote.
00:04:31.000He's not the only one who's receiving those sorts of threats.
00:04:33.000Those threats actually are becoming quite common with regard to Republican members of Congress.
00:04:37.000I've heard from a few of them who have said that this sort of thing is becoming sort of the norm.
00:04:41.000But as I say, this isn't just the people at sort of the
00:04:45.000Popular level of the Democratic Party.
00:04:47.000This isn't just leftist grassroots folks who are very very upset.
00:04:51.000We're talking about high-ranking Democratic Party people who have completely lost their mind.
00:04:55.000I mean legitimately and completely lost their mind over Brett Kavanaugh joining the Supreme Court in much the way they lost their mind over Donald Trump being elected in the first place.
00:05:03.000So take for example this Maisie Hirono.
00:05:06.000So Maisie Hirono is a senator from Hawaii and she was specifically asked whether she believes that people should be confronted, Republicans should be confronted at restaurants and in their daily lives.
00:05:16.000Watch as she bobs and weaves to avoid answering the question as to whether people should be harassed in their daily lives for the vote on Kavanaugh.
00:05:23.000I think that it just means that there are a lot of people who are very, very much motivated by what is going on.
00:05:30.000Because what happened with Judge Kavanaugh is, from the very beginning, this was not a fair process.
00:05:35.000Should the going after people at restaurants stop?
00:05:56.000Right, but we're asking about your opinion on the decisions they're making, see?
00:06:00.000Like, we're asking whether you think it's okay to yell at Ted Cruz's wife in a restaurant, or yell at Sarah Huckabee Sanders, or try and harass senators.
00:06:07.000You're saying, well, you know, people have their opinions.
00:06:11.000My opinion is that Maisie Hirono is a completely immoral person based on these statements, or at least she's making completely immoral statements.
00:06:58.000Brian is just a genuinely nice human being.
00:07:00.000He was walking to the subway, I believe from Fox News home, and comics started following him on the subway and then harassing him on the subway, asking people on the subway to harass him as well, and here's what that sounded like.
00:07:12.000If you have anything you want Donald Trump to say...
00:07:17.000Or do, tell this guy, because he's the only person in America that Donald Trump listens to.
00:07:22.000I'll literally give you $10 if you ask Trump to resign tomorrow.
00:07:25.000Look in the camera and you say, Donald, Mr. President, it's time to resign.
00:07:47.000So much comedian-ing, so much journalism-ing.
00:07:51.000These folks on the left, they're really holding it together nicely, I think.
00:07:55.000I think they're really holding it together in a pretty significant way.
00:07:58.000Kirsten Gillibrand, by the way, if you think that the extremists in the Democratic base are in no way related to the folks at the top of the Democratic Party, all you have to do is watch the relationship between the two.
00:08:16.000She, of course, is one of the heads of the Women's March.
00:08:19.000She introduced Kirstjen Gillibrand at one of the, at this latest rally outside the Supreme Court.
00:08:26.000So, here is an actual terrorist supporter introducing a sitting senator of the United States in an event and no one on the left batting an eye.
00:08:35.000Next up, I want to introduce to you another champion, another one of our people who works for us on the inside, someone who understands that she works for the people of this country, who has been speaking up against sexual assault and sexual violence before there was a Brett Kavanaugh.
00:08:51.000Please give it up to the senator from the greatest state in the United States of America, my state, New York, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
00:09:03.000And there's Kirsten Gillibrand, you know, a real feminist, standing up there with Amy Schumer as a woman who talked about the great paid maternity leave in Saudi Arabia introduces her.
00:09:13.000Good stuff there from the Democratic Party.
00:09:15.000President Trump is correct that the Democrats have indeed turned into an angry mob.
00:09:19.000And you can see how much of an angry mob they've turned into when we get to what policies they are proposing, because it's pretty astonishing.
00:09:25.000But here's President Trump hitting the nail on the head.
00:09:27.000As I've said before, the president is a hammer.
00:10:29.000They said that there was a war on women, and Hillary Clinton was a representative of women in this fight.
00:10:33.000They're hoping that because President Trump is alienating to a lot of particularly suburban women, that they can glom onto that, and then they can combine that with
00:10:41.000Enthusiasm for the MeToo movement and use that to club Republicans into submission on a political level.
00:10:46.000We'll get to the war on women narrative in a second.
00:10:48.000But first, what they want to do is they want to radically change the system of American government.
00:10:53.000They're full-blown members of the media.
00:10:55.000I'm talking about Washington Post reporters today who are shocked, shocked to discover that the Senate of the United States is not represented by population.
00:11:04.000They're shocked to discover that, in fact, each state has two senators.
00:11:07.000And then they realize that, wait, Montana has fewer people than New York, which means the Senate isn't representative.
00:11:29.000We'll get to all of that in just one second.
00:11:31.000First, let's talk about the software that your company is using.
00:11:34.000When's the last time you updated the software your company uses?
00:11:36.000Probably not recently because you figure it's more of a hassle to try and figure out what software to use and then install it than it is to just plot along using this old software.
00:11:44.000Except you're losing time and you're losing money, which is why you ought to talk to the folks over at SoftwareAdvice.
00:11:49.000When it comes to picking the right software for your business, SoftwareAdvice has done all the research for you.
00:11:54.000Their team of advisors can point you in the right direction so you can start working more effectively right away, and it is absolutely free.
00:11:59.000Just go to softwareadvice.com and answer a few short questions about your business.
00:12:04.000You'll be connected with an advisor to discuss the best software options for your needs.
00:12:08.000Talking to an advisor can take just 10 minutes or less.
00:12:10.000Whether you're a medical professional, or a construction manager, or an HR pro, software advice will save you time and help you make a more informed decision.
00:12:17.000So, if you're an entrepreneur, you work solo, software advice is a great way to get an expert opinion, even without the resources of a big company.
00:13:20.000That's the way it should have worked because that meant that there was even another layer between the population and the Senate.
00:13:25.000See, the founders were actually quite worried about mob rule.
00:13:28.000They were quite worried about the idea of pure democracy because they figured that demagoguery could win over broad swaths of the population and that would enable all sorts of bad things to happen to minorities inside the United States.
00:13:39.000This is what they're worried about, and so they set up a system of checks and balances to provide for the rights of states, while ensuring that if there was overwhelming support for a measure, that all of that would be able to happen anyway.
00:13:50.000But Aaron Blake over at the Washington Post, in shocking news, breaking news, he's the senior political reporter at the Washington Post, this is breaking news guys, hot off the wires, quote,
00:13:59.000People are suddenly deciding that population disparities render the Senate undemocratic.
00:14:03.000Upon ratification, Virginia had 12 times as many people as Delaware.
00:14:06.000Disparities are bigger now, but they very much existed when our founders decided on this system.
00:14:23.000I'm looking for all the tweets right now.
00:14:26.000But basically, they're making the case that the Senate needs to go away.
00:14:30.000Or alternatively, they're making the case instead that the Supreme Court ought to be packed.
00:14:36.000So, my favorite is Democrats suggesting that Republicans undemocratically got Brett Kavanaugh through the Senate, when Republicans had the votes in the Senate.
00:14:47.000And now they're saying their solution to the undemocratic nature of the movement of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court requires them to add more justices to the Supreme Court in violation of the Constitution.
00:14:58.000This is from the New York Times today.
00:15:00.000This confirmation vote will not necessarily be the last word on Brett Kavanaugh serving a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court, said Brian Fallon, executive director of the liberal group Demand Justice, and the top spokesman for Hillary's 2016 campaign.
00:15:28.000So what exactly are they talking about?
00:15:29.000Some have gone as far as proposing if Democrats were to retake control of Congress and the White House in 2020 or after, expanding the number of justices on the court to pack it with liberals, or trying to impeach, remove, and replace Brett Kavanaugh.
00:15:42.000So good news, the Democrats are taking this all extraordinarily well.
00:15:45.000They just want to change the system of government completely.
00:15:47.000They want to get rid of the Senate, and they also want to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court because they couldn't win an election.
00:16:01.000And tactic number two is, okay, we'll leave the institutions of government in place, but what we are going to focus on innately and inordinately is the supposed war on women.
00:16:12.000So this is one of the great lies that's being perpetrated.
00:16:15.000It's being perpetrated by folks like Valerie Jarrett.
00:16:17.000So Valerie Jarrett, you will remember, was a top advisor to President Obama, and she tweeted this out.
00:16:21.000I think it sums up well the argument being made by folks on the left.
00:16:39.000So the idea here is that if you supported Brett Kavanaugh, you are ignoring women who make allegations of sexual assault.
00:16:45.000This is so transparent, and it's really quite vicious and disgusting.
00:16:50.000I, again, opposed Roy Moore for the Senate in Alabama as a Republican because there is verifiable evidence that he had done bad things with young girls when he was a younger man.
00:17:02.000I did not vote for President Trump in large measure because of his treatment of women.
00:17:07.000There are lots of people who are not happy with sexual assault allegations.
00:17:13.000On the left, they're okay as long as it's Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton.
00:17:15.000But there are a lot of people who actually get kind of upset about these allegations.
00:17:18.000But Brett Kavanaugh's case did not have the required verification or corroboration.
00:17:23.000Christine Blasey's for his account sort of fell apart.
00:17:25.000Susan Collins, the senator from Maine who came out in favor of Brett Kavanaugh, she was basically the deciding vote.
00:17:31.000She's been ripped apart for what she had to say on CNN, but there's nothing innately wrong with what she said on CNN.
00:17:36.000Here is her explaining that while she believes something happened to Christine Blasey Ford, she just doesn't believe that according to the preponderance of the evidence that Brett Kavanaugh was the guy who did it.
00:17:45.000I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant.
00:17:49.000So I do believe that she was assaulted.
00:17:53.000I don't know by whom, and I'm not certain when, but I do not believe that he was the assailant.
00:18:00.000Okay, and that prompted Maisie Hirono to come out and say, how could Susan Collins doubt?
00:18:06.000Well, it's really funny, because I remember that, like, a week ago, literally a week ago, there was a woman named Julie Swetnick, brought forward by Michael Avenatti, and she claimed that Brett Kavanaugh had gang raped her, or that he was involved in gang rapes.
00:18:19.000You never hear her name anymore from the Democrats.
00:18:35.000It's believe the women who we want to believe because they're slightly more credible.
00:18:39.000And then Republicans say, OK, well, we agree that Ford was slightly more credible than Swetnick, but we don't believe that she's totally credible either, or at least her story isn't corroborated.
00:19:01.000It's just, it's maddening, but here is Maisie Hirono saying, because this is a free country where we do not condemn people without due process of law, and we certainly don't condemn people's lives to the ash heap of history, simply without any corroborative evidence whatsoever.
00:19:19.000Well, to say that she thinks that Dr. Ford thinks that she was assaulted, what is that?
00:19:27.000There was corroboration because she had talked about this assault to her husband, to others, before Brett Kavanaugh was ever nominated to the Supreme Court.
00:19:39.000Okay, so Mazie Hirono just, again, this is the line.
00:19:42.000So the line is that we may have lost the battle regarding Brebecavino, but we're winning the cultural war.
00:19:47.000The cultural war is going to be that men versus women, and that women always must be believed, and that men who do not buy in, or women who don't buy in, are just lackeys of the system.
00:19:59.000So Alyssa Milano was on Meet the Press.
00:20:01.000Which is just because of her expertise in meh.
00:20:04.000So Alyssa Milano showed up on Meet the Press after showing up at the hearing because of Dianne Feinstein, who's a very serious senator we know.
00:20:11.000Alyssa Milano on Meet the Press, and she explained we're winning the cultural battle.
00:20:15.000I think a lot has changed, but I also think a lot hasn't changed.
00:20:18.000And yesterday, we may have lost a political battle, but I do think we are winning the cultural battle.
00:21:08.000Some sheets are significantly more comfortable than other sheets, and everything Bull & Branch makes is just top-notch.
00:21:13.000From bedding to blankets, it's made from pure 100% organic cotton, which means they start out super soft, and they get even softer over time.
00:21:20.000You buy directly from them, so you're essentially paying wholesale prices.
00:21:23.000Luxury sheets can cost up to $1,000 in the store.
00:21:26.000Bull & Branch sheets are only a couple hundred bucks.
00:21:28.000Everyone who tries Bull & Branch sheets loves them.
00:21:30.000That's why they have thousands of five-star reviews.
00:21:32.000Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, all are talking about Bull and Branch.
00:22:39.000Waleed Shaheed, who is a writer for Cynthia Nixon, he did comms and policy for Cynthia Nixon, he said the Senate is undemocratic and it matters.
00:22:49.000Alec McGillis is a reporter for ProPublica, reporter, saying, the undemocratic nature of representation in the Senate is unlikely to be remedied anytime soon.
00:22:59.000Okay, so back to this war on women narrative that the left is trotting out.
00:23:04.000This is best exemplified by a woman named Alexis Grinnell.
00:23:08.000She has written on gender and politics for the New York Daily News, The Washington Post, and other outlets.
00:23:11.000So she is a professional useless person.
00:23:13.000And she writes a piece today that is titled, White Women, Come Get Your People.
00:23:18.000They will defend their privilege to the death.
00:23:19.000So what I like about this is that now the left is not just attacking men.
00:23:22.000Now it's not just a war between women and men.
00:23:25.000Now it's a war between intersectionality groups.
00:23:28.000So it's black women versus white women and Hispanic women versus white women because it turns out white women largely sided with Brett Kavanaugh.
00:23:36.000White women vote Republican more often because it turns out a lot of women actually think individually.
00:23:41.000Women don't always think like the left wants them to think, which is fine and good.
00:23:46.000I thought the whole point of feminism is you get to think what you want to think, but not according to the feminists.
00:23:54.000This is like, get the butterfly net and the straitjacket stuff.
00:23:58.000Here's what Alexis Grinnell writes, in keeping with the moderate tone of the Democrats lately.
00:24:06.000After a confirmation process where women all but slit their wrists
00:24:10.000Letting their stories of sexual trauma run like rivers of blood through the Capitol.
00:24:15.000The Senate still voted to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
00:24:19.000With the exception of Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, all the women in the Republican conference caved, including Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who held out until the bitter end.
00:24:28.000All but slit their wrists, letting their stories of sexual trauma run like rivers of blood through the Capitol.
00:24:36.000I wasn't aware that screaming at people was
00:25:21.000The longer any argument goes on with the left,
00:25:23.000The more of an opportunity the left is going to have to drop a reference to Handmaid's Tale, the most overrated book of the last half century, and a series that has become popular largely because the media have decided that it is deeply important for women to believe that they are on the verge of being sexually enslaved by men, in a society where fewer women than ever in American history are getting married, in which women are waiting longer to get married, having fewer children, and having more income from jobs than any time in American history, but women are this close.
00:26:36.000First of all, I just have to stop right there.
00:26:38.000This notion that if you tell your daughter not to dress skimply because she should respect herself more than that, that this makes you a bad parent or a restrictive parent is utterly insane.
00:27:12.000And it doesn't make you a bad parent to say so.
00:27:13.000It means that you're trying to protect your daughter from the fact that there are dangerous people in the world.
00:27:18.000And also, because maybe your daughter doesn't want to look like a sex object all the time.
00:27:21.000Maybe she doesn't want to portray herself as a sex object.
00:27:24.000I like how the feminist movement moved from the correct opinion about pornography, that pornography was objectification of women for the pleasure of men, to pornography is empowerment of women.
00:27:34.000Yeah, I'm sure that all those men who are in their basements right now watching Stormy Daniels old tapes are thinking about the empowerment of women.
00:27:57.000When did modesty become such a terrible thing?
00:27:59.000I think men should be modest too, by the way.
00:28:01.000But let's not pretend that men don't view women as sexualized objects, especially when women wear clothing that makes them more likely to be viewed as such.
00:28:12.000It's a free country, you can wear what you want.
00:28:13.000I'm not saying you shouldn't wear what you want.
00:28:15.000I'm saying I would tell my daughters that because I'm not an idiot.
00:29:39.000First, let's talk about how you can keep your hair.
00:29:42.000So, you're looking up top and you're figuring, okay, I'm losing the hair up top, and then you look at your pops and you say, oh, my dad lost all his hair, so maybe I should get active right now in trying to stop all of that.
00:29:52.000Maybe you've noticed you have a little less hair.
00:29:53.000Well, the thing is, there are two clinically proven medications that let you keep your hair, and now they are inexpensive and easy to get.
00:29:58.000You don't need to lose your hair if you don't want to, and that's why I have to tell you about Keeps.
00:30:02.000For five minutes now, just a buck a day, you're never going to have to worry about hair loss again.
00:30:06.000Hair loss runs in my family, and that's why Keeps works for me.
00:30:09.000Getting started with Keeps is really easy.
00:33:20.000My muscles had been severed from my will.
00:33:23.000Well, head on over to dailywire.com, subscribe to watch the first and second seasons of Another Kingdom.
00:33:27.000Sadly, that was not Michael Moulse's autobiography because I'd love to hear about him being tortured, but nonetheless, you can go check that out right now for $99 a year.
00:33:35.000You can get the annual subscription that comes along with our famous, our world-famous Leftist Tears Hot or Cold mug, which has been our Tumblr, which has been overflowing continuously.
00:33:43.000In fact, TSA made us put it aside because you're not allowed to bring more than four ounces of liquid.
00:33:50.000So when he tried to bring it with us, we had to cloak it actually.
00:33:53.000So I have the cloaked version here with me today.
00:33:54.000You can go check that out right now over at dailywire.com.
00:33:57.000We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast in the nation.
00:34:05.000So the rampant mind loss that has taken over large swaths of the left obviously is being forwarded by their belief that if they just scream loud enough about how men are sexist, this will win out.
00:34:16.000Alexis Grinnell has this piece in the New York Times we're going through, and I think it's indicative of a mindset on the left that it's pretty insane.
00:34:22.000So, she's already accused women who supported Brett Kavanaugh or any Republican of being traitors.
00:34:29.000She says, these are the kind of women who think that being falsely accused of rape is almost as bad as being raped.
00:34:34.000The kind of women who agree with President Trump that it's a very scary time for young men in America, which he said during a news conference on Tuesday.
00:34:40.000Well, it turns out, you don't actually have to compare the two, being falsely accused of rape is pretty bad.
00:34:45.000Being falsely accused of rape does indeed ruin your life, destroy your reputation, destroy your family.
00:34:50.000I don't have to compare that to rape, because there's no comparison.
00:34:54.000Like, I don't see the necessity of comparing the crimes, but being falsely accused of rape is kind of a bad thing.
00:35:00.000And when President Trump says, it's a very scary time for young men in America, that is 100% true.
00:35:05.000I don't know a single mom, not a single mom with a boy who is not worried about the possibility of where all of this is going, especially considering the vagary of the nature of consent in our current political discourse.
00:35:17.000We're now living in a time when Title IX charges can be brought against basically any man on any campus for any reason without any evidence and destroy the guy's life.
00:35:26.000But here's Alexis Grinnell continuing, The people who scare me the most are the mothers, sisters, and wives of these young men, because my stupid uterus still holds out some insane hope of solidarity.
00:35:35.000First of all, I just would like to point out that this appeared in the New York Times, the most solid paper in the United States, according to folks on the left.
00:35:44.000And it printed a sentence in which a woman said that her uterus holds out hope.
00:35:52.000It's like me saying my appendix holds out hope.
00:35:55.000In any case, she says, we're talking about white women, the same 53% who put their racial privilege ahead of their second-class gender status in 2016 by voting to uphold a system that values only their whiteness, just as they have for decades.
00:36:09.000So white women put their femininity behind them.
00:36:11.000They're not real women, is where this is going.
00:36:13.000White women aren't real women, they're just white people.
00:36:14.000They're just faceless, nameless white people.
00:36:16.000You know, like these genderless widgets of whiteness.
00:36:20.000Since 1952, white women have broken for Democratic presidential candidates only twice.
00:36:25.000In the 1964 and 1996 elections, according to an analysis by Jane Jhun, a political scientist at the University of Southern California, women of color, and specifically black women, make the margin of difference for Democrats.
00:36:37.000The voting patterns of white women and white men mirror each other much more closely, and they tend to cast their ballots for Republicans.
00:36:42.000The gender gap in politics is really a color line.
00:36:45.000Well, actually, that's not really true.
00:36:46.000The gender gap in politics is really a marriage line.
00:36:49.000If you actually look at how single people vote versus how married people vote, that's really the distinction.
00:36:54.000Married people tend to vote heavily Republican.
00:36:56.000Married women tend to vote heavily Republican.
00:36:58.000Single women tend to vote heavily Democrat.
00:37:00.000So it's not about color and it's not even about sex.
00:37:04.000Because when you have kids and you start thinking to the next generation, and when you start thinking, what's the kind of society where I want to bring up a family?
00:37:11.000You know, I have a family unit that requires protection from an overarching federal government that wants to get in my grill.
00:37:17.000Well, that changes your mind a little bit.
00:37:20.000But according to Alexis Grinnell, it's all about the whiteness.
00:37:23.000That's because white women benefit from patriarchy by trading on their whiteness to monopolize resources for mutual gain.
00:37:30.000In return, they're placed on a pedestal to be cherished and revered, as Speaker Paul Ryan has said about women, but all the while denied basic rights.
00:37:38.000I don't even know what that first sentence means.
00:37:39.000White women benefit from patriarchy by trading on their whiteness to monopolize resources for mutual gain.
00:37:47.000First of all, replace white with black in that sentence, and obviously it's racist.
00:37:50.000But beyond that, the idea that women are somehow trading on their sexuality in order to achieve some decent treatment at the hands of the patriarchy, this is all crazy.
00:38:26.000During the 2016 presidential election, did white women really vote with their whiteness in mind?
00:38:30.000Lori Frazier-Yockley, a political scientist at UCLA, recently measured the effect of racial identity on white women's willingness to support Trump in 2016, and found a positive and statistically significant relationship.
00:38:41.000So white women who voted for him did so to prop up their whiteness.
00:38:45.000Or, alternatively, correlation does not equal causation because that's basic mathematical and statistical science.
00:38:54.000In the study, white women who agreed that many women interpret innocent remarks or acts as sexist were 17% more likely to vote for a Republican candidate.
00:39:02.000Right, that makes sense, because Democrats have gotten hysterical on this issue and they have decided that everything ought to be treated as rape.
00:39:07.000When Matt Damon suggested that there were gradations of sexual misconduct, he was run out of town on a rail by folks on the left.
00:39:16.000So finally, she concludes, this blood pact between white men and white women is at issue in the November midterms.
00:39:21.000President Trump knows it, and at that Tuesday news conference he signaled to white women to hold the line.
00:39:25.000The people that have been complaining to me about it the most, about what's happening, are women.
00:39:32.000Many mothers, many mothers are very angry, and that crosses racial lines.
00:39:36.000But this is, the attempt to militarize the MeToo movement, which was supposed to be a bipartisan movement with basically universal support, no one wants to see women mistreated, has now been shattered thanks to politics, because the left decided that MeToo, any allegation, that under MeToo, any allegation brought against someone they like is going to be ignored, and any allegation brought against someone they don't like is going to be upheld.
00:39:58.000That's the way this now works according to the left.
00:40:00.000So me too broke on the shoals of politics because we were all on the same side with regard to all of this stuff.
00:42:13.000I am not going to live in a country where I can't quote Abraham Lincoln and suggest that Abraham Lincoln was not a hero.
00:42:20.000I'm not going to make common cause with people who say that I cannot quote Thomas Jefferson or George Washington or the wide variety of historical figures who were shaped by their time and held opinions that are not within the mainstream of today and are considered immoral today.
00:42:39.000The West is based on certain fundamental good principles.
00:42:42.000And those principles were held by people who simultaneously did not live up to those principles in the fullest way, shaped as they were by the times in which they lived.
00:42:50.000This is called being historically accurate.
00:42:53.000That there are lots of good ideas embedded in times when lots of bad things are happening.
00:42:58.000And this is the same thing that folks say about, they very often use this with regard to biblical criticism.
00:43:02.000Well, the Bible is an immoral document because it contains things that we would not like today.
00:43:07.000So, for example, it talks about slavery in the Bible.
00:43:10.000And it's like, right, because the Bible was directed toward people who were routinely enslaving people, and the Bible was attempting to curb them from slavery, which is why, over time, the greatest advocates for freeing slaves were actually biblically-minded people in the 18th and 19th centuries.
00:43:26.000The point is that either you see the West as a repository of certain eternal truths that we have not all lived up to, or you see it as a repository of evil that must be torn down.
00:43:34.000And the same people who are saying you can't quote Churchill are the people who say we have to tear down the entire structure from the inside.
00:43:40.000It has to be torn down, root and branch, and then, when we're finally done, then we can erect a new system in its place.
00:43:47.000And so they'll tell lies about Churchill.
00:43:50.000Churchill said some very nasty things during his career.
00:43:55.000He heaped racial scorn on a variety of groups ranging from the Indians to the, like, from India, to the Sudanese, to certain Asian tribes.
00:44:02.000But what the left has done is they've taken those comments out of context to suggest that he was complicit in genocide in Burma, which is not true.
00:44:08.000To suggest that he wanted to gas people, which is also not true.
00:44:12.000He suggested using tear gas against people to save their lives as opposed to using bullets, actually.
00:44:19.000So they take all this stuff out of context.
00:44:22.000This has relevance today not only because it demonstrates the extremism of the left, that we're now at the point where we're not allowed to quote Winston Churchill,
00:44:29.000But it explains why there's this big fight that's now taking place over Columbus Day.
00:44:32.000So on the left, the perspective is that Columbus Day is bad because Western Civilization is bad, and so we must celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day on the day that Columbus discovered Hispaniola.
00:44:41.000And on the right, the perspective is Christopher Columbus and the West have committed a lot of sins, but it is an eminently good thing for the world that Western Civilization found the Western Hemisphere.
00:45:13.000The feminist movement has shifted the definition of rape to include regret.
00:45:16.000And she talks specifically about, it's very difficult to come to agreement on Me Too when you won't define your terms.
00:45:22.000So what she says, and she points out, is that in preparation for the next Salem witch trial-like ordeal, therefore, it is worth empirically rebutting the Believe Survivors mandate as well as its corollary.
00:45:34.000The claim that if most self-professed rape survivors in our patriarchal culture don't report their assaults, that's because the social and emotional costs are too high, as California Congressman Ted Lieu explained on MSNBC last Sunday.
00:45:46.000And the point that Heather McDonald makes is that a lot of
00:45:49.000A lot of the variability in how sexual activity takes place makes for confusion about what exactly rape is.
00:45:57.000And so when the left draws this hard line where anything a woman says rape is, is rape, what they are really doing is they are refusing to acknowledge the inherent vagaries of sexual relationships.
00:46:08.000See, here's what Heather McDonald says, and this is correct.
00:46:30.000And the overwhelming reason the alleged victims did not report is that they did not think that what happened to them was that serious.
00:46:36.000At Harvard, for example, over 69% of female respondents who checked the box for penetration by use of force did not report the incident to any authority.
00:46:44.000Most of those non-reporters, 65%, did not think that their experience was serious enough to report.
00:46:52.000That's because, in college campuses, we have what is called a yes-means-yes standard, which means that if a woman goes through with the act of sex with a guy, and they're both drunk, and she wakes up the next morning, and she didn't say yes at every step because she was drunk, then therefore, she was raped.
00:47:05.000But, in many cases, the woman says, you know what?
00:49:13.000Do I think that this has become a moral panic?
00:49:15.000Yes, I think this has become a moral panic.
00:49:17.000Heather McDonald's piece is really good.
00:49:19.000She says, Our booze-fueled hookup culture has made relations between men and women messier than ever, leaving many girls and women with pangs of regret, but those regrets do not equal rape.
00:49:27.000If we were actually in the midst of an epidemic of sexual assault, as New Jersey Senator Cory Booker asserted the evening of the Ford Kavanaugh hearings, we would presumably have seen women and girls take protective actions, such as avoiding frat parties and flocking to single-sex schools.
00:49:39.000It's a good piece by Heather MacDonald and she is, in large part, correct.
00:50:09.000And he had his art rigged so that when the final gavel was sounded, the painting would begin to shred itself.
00:50:18.000It would go through the bottom barrier of the frame and actually physically shred, which is hilarious because the truth is that the value of art is entirely subjective.
00:52:15.000Because Kanye West was on SNL the previous week and had worn his MAGA hat
00:52:18.000So, speaking strictly for myself, what Kanye said after he went off the air last week was one of the worst, like, most awkward things I've ever seen here.
00:52:37.000And I've seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern.
00:53:16.000I keep using that phrase today because the hypocrisy of the left is so strong.
00:53:19.000I'm old enough to remember when Laura Ingraham was ripped up and down for suggesting that LeBron James should shut up and dribble because he knew basketball, but that didn't mean he knew politics.
00:53:26.000And I said at the time, anybody's entitled to their opinion on politics, but we get to assess whether those opinions are smart or not.
00:53:32.000Kanye's entitled to his opinion on politics.
00:53:34.000And listen, this is coming from the guy who said, live by the Kanye, die by the Kanye.
00:53:39.000But, when folks on the left suddenly discover that Kanye West is a celebrity, and maybe celebrities don't have the smartest takes on politics, it's kind of ironic and kind of silly.
00:53:49.000So, CNN's original headline on this story was just terrible.
00:53:52.000The original headline was, Wasn't the...
00:54:00.000A Palestinian killed two people in a terror attack.
00:54:02.000Their original report suggested that it was a workplace violence incident, which is absurd.
00:54:06.000What actually happened is that over the weekend, a 27-year-old Israeli named Kim Yechezgal was tied up and executed point-blank by a Palestinian co-worker in the West Bank, a place where Jews and Arabs work together.
00:54:18.000The Palestinian Authority obviously will give money to the terrorist family.
00:54:21.000She leaves behind a baby daughter and a husband.
00:54:24.000She was one of two people who was killed.
00:54:26.000There's a picture of her, obviously a very beautiful young woman, and she was murdered for the crime of being a Jew and living in Judea and Samaria.
00:54:34.000The media covered it, as they always do, as the predictable effect of occupation, which is pretty astonishing that if you are working at a factory next to Arabs with whom you share a life, and one of them
00:55:36.000But Madison says, truth in the less than decency requires that the event in every case should be supposed to depend on the sentiments and sanction of their common constituents.
00:55:44.000Many considerations besides those suggested on a former occasion seem to place it beyond doubt that the first and most natural attachment of the people will be to the governments of their respective states.
00:55:53.000And originally, of course, this was true.
00:55:54.000At the time of the founding, people were more loyal to the state of Virginia than they were to the federal government, which is why, note to leftists,
00:56:01.000The Senate requires two votes per state because the only way the states were going to sign on is if they felt that they had enough insurance against the popular vote that they could afford to sign on to a federal constitution.
00:56:13.000Smaller states didn't want their authority withdrawn from them without their permission, not on the basis of having a smaller population.
00:56:20.000That's why there is a United States Senate today.
00:56:23.000Madison argues the only way the federal government could ever earn the appreciation of the people would be terrific administration.
00:56:28.000He says, if the people should in the future become more partial to the federal than the state government, the change would only result from manifest and irresistible proofs of a better administration.
00:56:38.000He missed the point, which is that if the federal government grows and grows and grows and encroaches and encroaches and encroaches slowly and more slowly,
00:56:45.000Then people would just get used, like a lobster in a pot, they'd just get used to the heat.
00:56:49.000They'd just get used to the federal government being deeply important in their lives.
00:56:52.000And then he adds that the federal government would seriously take into account state interests, just as state legislatures take into account county interests.
00:57:00.000But he says, in the end, and this is the point that the left really doesn't want to acknowledge because it ties into Second Amendment rights,
00:57:06.000He says that the states, if the federal government got too big for its britches, the states would cut it down to size.
00:57:50.000He says the only real problem would be federal power for its own sake, and he says that would never happen because the state governments with the people on their side would be able to repel the danger.
00:58:00.000So, Madison was pretty clear about what the function of states and arms ownership was in Federalist 46.
