Why is it so terrible for a person with one skin color to fall in love with a person of a different skin color? Because interracial sex advances white supremacy, which is the flip side of white supremacy. Ben Shapiro explains why interracial love is a no-no, and why racism against interracial relationships is a yes-no. Plus, why is it that the Big Sick, a new comedy-drama based on a true-life love story, is a hit in the media, but only with white women? And why does that matter to the Left?

00:00:44.000Why in the world would it be so terrible for a person with one skin color to fall in love with a person of a different skin color?
00:00:48.000In fact, the left has been generating trumped-up headlines about supposed conservative objections to Cheerios commercials and Old Navy commercials and State Farm commercials involving interracial relationships.
00:00:58.000The left can't come up with any legit sources who actually object to these commercials, so instead they find random Twitter followers and then build a story out of them.
00:01:05.000But Jezebel is a relatively mainstream left outlet.
00:01:08.000There, Aditi Natashakini writes, quote, The Big Sick, which is a new show.
00:01:13.000has been roundly lauded in the press lately, including here at Jezebel, and not without good reason.
00:01:17.000It's a funny, heartwarming love story based on the true-life experiences of co-writers, married couple Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon.
00:01:24.000But as much as I liked it, and I did, I also found myself exhausted, yet again, by the on-screen depiction of a brown man wanting to date a white woman, while brown women are portrayed, alternatively, as caricatures, stereotypes, inconsequential, and or the butts of a joke.
00:01:38.000So the story is actually based on a true real-life relationship, but it's still annoying to this lady.
00:01:44.000That's because even using a white woman as a romantic lead means, quote, in the complex hierarchy of power and race in America, paying, quote, lip service to the one notion that has shaped the history of South Asian and American culture alike.
00:01:56.000Whiteness as the ultimate desire, the highest goal in defining oneself as an American.
00:02:01.000So, racism against white women who have sex with brown men is fine, but racism against brown men who have sex with white women is terrible.
00:02:16.000The only disagreement between Keeney and the KKK isn't on the appropriateness of interracial relationships, but on whether such relationships advance or inhibit white supremacy.
00:02:24.000This seems weird, but intersectionality is basically the flip side of white supremacy.
00:02:28.000Interracial sex is a no-no, because it might imply that separateness for non-white races is taboo.
00:02:33.000The only strange element here is that many people on the left fail to see their own hypocrisy when they don't stand up to racism emanating from their own side of the aisle.
00:02:47.000Alright, so Trump was in Europe, Linda Sarsour makes an idiot of herself and says some pretty awful things.
00:02:52.000We'll get to all of that in just a second, plus I will explain why I am wearing this magnificent hat.
00:02:58.000But first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Birch Gold.
00:03:01.000So, if you're concerned that perhaps the stock market is inflated, if you're worried that the real estate market might be inflated, if you're worried that the economy is overheated, or if you're just worried about the possibility of a natural disaster knocking the stock market off its moorings,
00:03:14.000Or an international incident, which seems to be the possibility of which seems to be growing.
00:03:17.000You need to at least put some of your assets in gold.
00:03:23.000When you go there, you can get a free comprehensive 16-page kit showing how gold and silver can protect your savings and how you can legally move your IRA or 401k out of stocks and bonds and into a precious metals IRA.
00:03:43.000It's a very safe haven for assets in volatile times economically.
00:03:47.000And while the economy seems to be doing well right now, we all know, I mean, we all remember 2007-2008.
00:03:52.000You can see how things collapse really quickly and that's why it's important to have at least some of your bets hedged with precious metals.
00:04:22.000Okay, so the last 48 hours have been very, very rough for the left.
00:04:25.000The entire week has been very rough for the left, actually.
00:04:27.000President Trump was in Poland and, you know, first I should probably, before I jump right into the news, I should explain why I'm wearing this hat.
00:04:40.000We went to a little town in the middle of nowhere and we were talking with some of the people there and they were talking about how they were basically just able to build their houses without any state permitting, without any local permitting.
00:05:03.000It's why everything looks brand shiny new over in the state of Texas.
00:05:06.000And so in honor of the great state of Texas, I am wearing this hat.
00:05:11.000We took a picture yesterday of me standing next to a truck wearing this hat.
00:05:13.000It does look like I'm about to release a really bad country album.
00:05:16.000And I do understand, we'll talk a little bit more about this later, but I do understand that me in a cowboy hat is a little bit incongruous.
00:05:23.000But, um, I have a piece of music that I will play that I think will help fix all of that.
00:05:48.000Really called out the clash of civilizations that is happening.
00:05:51.000He is not shying away from the fact that Western civilization is in a Samuel Huntington style battle with other civilizations that are attempting to rise and take its place.
00:06:01.000He said that we are going to have to ask whether the West has the will to survive.
00:06:07.000The defense of the West ultimately rests not only on means, but also on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have.
00:06:18.000The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.
00:06:25.000Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?
00:06:30.000Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders?
00:06:35.000Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?
00:07:14.000What are those values that are worth preserving?
00:07:16.000And it's not just the value of being able to do whatever you want.
00:07:19.000It's Judeo-Christian moral systems that suggest not only that you have rights, but that you have responsibilities.
00:07:25.000And I'd like to hear Trump talk a little bit more about what personal behavior looks like in that context, what political behavior looks like in that context, why it is that government was instituted in the first place.
00:07:33.000Like, foundational principles need to be retaught.
00:07:35.000Trump obviously can get eyeballs whenever he wants, and I think that that's a wonderful quality in a president.
00:07:40.000I would like to see him use it for good.
00:07:41.000I think he did that in Poland, and so I thought that that was a really first-rate speech.
00:07:49.000Trump also went hard at Russia in the speech.
00:07:51.000He actually talked about Russia invading Ukraine.
00:07:53.000He said that he opposes Russian action in Syria.
00:07:56.000He's talked about instituting missile defense in Poland, which is something that Obama withdrew from.
00:08:02.000And, uh, and, you know, all of that the media ignored because that cuts against their narrative, which is that Trump is in Putin's pocket.
00:08:07.000Here he is speaking very proudly to the Pogols about the fact that they need missile defense, about the fact that Vladimir Putin on their borders is not a good thing.
00:08:15.000And he is, uh, and he's being scoriated by the media nonetheless.
00:08:19.000So here is Trump talking about Russia a little bit during that speech yesterday.
00:08:22.000We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes, including Syria and Iran, and to instead join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself.
00:08:47.000Okay, so he's trying to draw a useful line here, and I think that it is useful.
00:08:54.000So it's funny, when it comes to Russia, a lot of people on the left have a very different story than when it comes to Saudi Arabia, for example.
00:09:00.000So they'll say about Saudi Arabia and members of the Islamic world, we need them as allies in the war on terror, so you have to make overtures to them.
00:09:06.000When it comes to Russia, they'll say you can never make an overture to Russia, because if you do, you're just emboldening them.
00:09:11.000These positions are somewhat inconsistent.
00:09:13.000I think what Trump is doing here is he's saying to Russia, listen,
00:09:16.000You go any further and we're going to stop you, but why don't you join us?
00:09:24.000Unlike a lot of the people at sort of the alt-right, I don't think that Russia is part of the common cause for Western civilization, nor have they really ever been.
00:09:32.000I mean, Russia has always had its own interests at heart.
00:09:35.000Trying to convert them into modern-day Germany or modern-day France or modern-day Britain is just silly.
00:10:02.000This morning in Warsaw, Poland, President Donald Trump issued a battle cry for family, for freedom, for country, and for God in a speech that often resorted to rhetorical conceits typically used by the European and American alt-right.
00:10:15.000So, um, family is something I talk about a lot, freedom is something I talk about a lot, country is something I talk about a lot, and God is something I talk about a lot.
00:10:22.000I think the alt-right are a bunch of crap bags, okay?
00:10:24.000So, I was unaware that the language of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln and
00:10:31.000And every great American thinker of the past two centuries, all of which focused on family and freedom and country and God, I'm not sure what is... that's not blood and soil.
00:10:40.000Like, the alt-right focuses on blood and soil.
00:10:41.000In fact, the alt-right basically says that freedom is not even something that is necessary, that freedom can be quashed by a powerful central government.
00:10:50.000On behalf of the quote-unquote civilization, right?
00:10:52.000The alt-right is not a small government group.
00:10:55.000And the alt-right, large segments of the alt-right are not pro-God.
00:10:58.000I mean, a lot of the alt-right thinkers actually think that God, Judeo-Christian values are weakening.
00:11:02.000They're sort of Nietzschean thinkers in many ways.
00:11:05.000So it's a very weird critique from the left.
00:11:08.000They're trying to fit an ideological square peg into the round hole of the alt-right.
00:11:13.000It says, drafted by Steve Miller, the architect of the travel ban, Trump's speech used the type of dire last chance warning often utilized by the far right on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:11:21.000The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive.
00:11:24.000JFK said very similar type stuff in the 1960s.
00:11:28.000And when Trump says, do we have confidence in our values to defend them at any cost?
00:11:37.000This has been typical American rhetoric, again, for two centuries.
00:11:41.000And it is the central question for any country.
00:11:43.000is whether you have values you are willing to preserve, and will you preserve those by internal action in order to preserve freedom, and will you preserve those by outward-facing action.
00:11:52.000But the left is so concerned with labeling Trump a Nazi that they are willing to take language that is eminently non-Nazi and then try and pretend that it's Nazi.
00:11:59.000So Peter Beinart, who is just an intellectual sinkhole.
00:12:37.000The West is not just a location as Beinart notes, but it is an ideology, and it's an ideology based on Judeo-Christian values that undergird a system of constitutional freedoms.
00:12:48.000I mean, that's what we're talking about here.
00:12:50.000But Beinart redefines the West and redefines our civilization to make them racist, sexist.
00:12:54.000I mean, honestly, if you can't use the word our civilization, the phrase our civilization, or the West, then I don't know what you're talking about.
00:13:00.000Like, is Aragorn a racist in Lord of the Rings when he says men of the West?
00:13:06.000Was Churchill, when he talked about the West, the defense of the West, was he a racist, sexist?
00:13:25.000The West is not an ideological or economic term either.
00:13:27.000India is the world's largest democracy.
00:13:29.000Japan is among its most economically advanced nations.
00:13:31.000No one considers them part of the West.
00:13:33.000Well, that's actually not super true, actually, now.
00:13:37.000I mean, Japan is largely considered, if not technically a part of the West, then an outgrowth of the West.
00:13:44.000I mean, Japan is in the Far East, but their government is much closer to the West than it is to what we would typically term, you know, the quote-unquote East.
00:13:52.000When we talk about the West, the polar opposite of the West in geography is the East, but the polar opposite of the West in political terms is not the West.
00:14:28.000But again, the left is so extreme now, they've really boxed themselves in because they are so extreme that they have to, and they're so interested in getting Trump, that they actually have to promote radical, insane rhetoric in order to get where they want to go.
00:14:45.000They're defending such an untenable position that they feel the necessity to pretend that mainstream rhetoric is now alt-right rhetoric on the part of Trump.
00:14:53.000Now, what's weird about this is that there's plenty of stuff that Trump has done that you can label alt-right friendly.
00:14:57.000I mean, during the primaries, he was routinely retweeting and associating with members of the alt-right.
00:15:00.000I mean, his White House chief strategist said that Breitbart was an outlet for the alt-right.
00:15:04.000Like, you don't have to stretch to get here.
00:15:06.000But the left is so out, they're so insane now, they've lost their minds so much, they've lost their moorings, that any reference to the West is considered fascist or alt-right?
00:15:15.000I mean, Winston Churchill spent his life opposing fascism and communism, and he talked about the West incessantly.
00:15:22.000And I guess that would make him, according to Peter Beinart, a racist and a bigot.
00:15:27.000The left is so far left now that they are embracing... I mean, the left was unmasked over the last 48 hours between their attacks on Trump for using the terms the West and our civilization, and them going after Mark Penn.
00:15:38.000Mark Penn is a consultant, a Democratic consultant, who wrote a column saying that the Democrats should move back to the center if they wish to win elections again.
00:15:46.000If you want to win all of the states that Trump just took from you, then you're going to have to abandon the intersectionality garbage that you've been pushing for the last several years.
00:15:53.000Mark Penn is getting just excoriated by the entire Democratic Party.
00:15:57.000Here's Mark Penn on Fox News getting destroyed by another member of the left.
00:16:03.000Look at what happened in the last two years of the Obama administration and what happened in that primary.
00:16:08.000I think the Sanders campaign and its strength also, I think, pushed Hillary Clinton to the left.
00:16:15.000The Democratic Party got fundamentally repositioned much farther to the left and out of touch with working class voters.
00:16:22.000Working-class voters really want to see the values of hard work, family, religion as a strong part of a party that they could support for economic progress.
00:16:31.000And I think they got left behind in the shift that occurred at that time.
00:16:36.000Well, you know, I have breaking news for Mark.
00:17:21.000Obama got a lot of things done in his first two years, and then he destroyed the entire Democratic Party wholesale across the country.
00:17:28.000Bill Clinton actually got a bunch of things done that ended up paving the way for a more successful country because he was willing to move to the center.
00:17:34.000I mean, for all of Bill Clinton's myriad flaws as a human being and as a political thinker,
00:17:40.000He was at least willing to move to the middle in order to get some good stuff done, like welfare reform.
00:17:45.000I mean, he actually, after his massive tax increases, he actually lowered the capital gains tax.
00:17:50.000But the Democrats are so crazy, they're so far to the left, they're so ensconced with intersectionality and Bernie Sanders socialism, that they are destroying their own party.
00:17:57.000And I'm going to get to Linda Sarsour in just a second, because Linda Sarsour's speech that came out yesterday is perfect proof of this.
00:18:03.000But before I do that, I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at the USCCA.
00:18:08.000You're at home, you're sitting around, and you hear the front door being pushed open.
00:18:13.000You run to your safe, you grab your gun, and the intruder comes in and you shoot him.
00:18:19.000Well, you usually think, number one, in order to get to that point you have to have good gun training, you have to know how to use your gun, you have to know when to use your gun.
00:19:20.000Be able to know, I mean they have classes in how to carry, they have classes in how to, they give you all sorts of education materials, and then they also cover you for, in God forbid the situation you actually have to defend yourself with a gun.
00:19:47.000Check it out, and I believe that you can still register to win that $1,776 for the guns and ammo of your choice at DefendMyFamilyNow.com.
00:19:55.000Okay, so the greatest proof that the left has completely lost its moorings and is just pandering to the most radical constituency on every side
00:20:29.000And we'll talk about whether she meant that peacefully or non-peacefully.
00:20:32.000But first, I think we need to set the stage for who Linda Sarsour is, because the left keeps saying, well, don't take that quote out of context.
00:20:37.000Okay, well, I don't want to take the quote out of context, so I'll play it in context and explain it.
00:20:42.000I also don't want to take Linda Sarsour out of context, okay?
00:20:44.000She's not just some rando who used the word jihad to mean a moderate Muslim struggle within themselves for greater spirituality, okay?
00:21:31.000This is what she tweeted about the Honor Diaries, which was a movie about honor killings and how they are now endemic in parts of the Muslim world.
00:21:40.000She didn't like that, so she tweeted, So she can't argue with any of the content.
00:21:51.000She's just gonna label anybody who funds a movie about honor killings a hate group.
00:21:54.000Okay, here's a tweet about Sharia law.
00:21:56.000Linda Sarsour is a big fan of Sharia law.
00:21:58.000Here's what she had to say about Sharia law.
00:22:00.000And I'm not talking about Sharia law like the internal governance of the Muslim community when you have a financial dispute and you and your fellow Muslims go to like an Islamic court.
00:22:23.000Well, I mean, number one, it doesn't sound very nice because you can't buy anything in countries that have only interest-free loans and credit cards, because who in their right mind would provide such things, right?
00:22:31.000Interest actually happens to be... I'm writing something about this now, biblical takes on interest.
00:22:36.000Interest happens to be a rather crucial part of the financial markets, but she's tweeted worse things about Sharia law.
00:22:41.000She's tweeted with regard to women's driving in Saudi Arabia, for example.
00:22:45.000She was asked about, well, if Sharia law is so great, why can't women drive in Saudi Arabia?
00:23:13.000Saudi Arabia is not famous for its women's rights.
00:23:16.000She also happens to be a close associate of many groups that are associated with terrorism.
00:23:21.000The speech that she actually gave, which she gave at the Islamic Society of North America, which has been linked to terror funding groups for years and years and years and years.
00:23:28.000And when it comes to terror incidents, she has a long and unpleasant history.
00:23:59.000She's also posed next to people who are convicted of crimes in association with Hamas in photographs.
00:24:06.000She has bragged about having relatives in jail in Israel.
00:24:09.000She has tweeted out, I believe, photos of people getting ready to stone Israeli soldiers.
00:24:16.000She's a really egregious figure, and the left has embraced her.
00:24:19.000Now what they embraced now, what they've done now, is they've actually embraced her talking about jihad against the Trump administration.
00:24:25.000So we're going to talk about that, we're going to put it into its complete context, but for that, you're going to have to go over to dailywire.com and subscribe.
