00:00:05.000And then, how should you react to a man, six foot two man, who joins a sorority?
00:00:12.000Well, Kappa, Kappa, Gamma, the national organization, says it's perfectly fine that a man can watch women undress and be allowed in a sorority.
00:01:07.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:15.000Let's understand the most famous book that Machiavelli wrote, The Prince.
00:02:19.000Machiavelli was basically writing this as a job interview.
00:02:24.000Machiavelli was in the government of Florence at a very young age, 28, 29, basically lost his job and he wanted to get hired again as a bureaucrat.
00:02:46.000And Machiavelli, whether he realized that at the time, and Michael Anton argues, yes, he did, he was a philosopher.
00:02:54.000And very rarely do you ever come across someone who can be called a philosopher.
00:02:59.000The depth, the complexity of his writing is, it's beyond just how some people summarize it.
00:03:06.000But Machiavelli certainly, the more you understand it, you realize that the left-wing regime uses several principles of Machiavelli as a way to win.
00:03:20.000Somebody says here, they emailed us, Charlie, frankly, the right, our side, is worthless in a fight.
00:03:25.000We play by the rules and worry about others.
00:03:30.000Just by an FBI, just an FYI, and they're coming after all of us.
00:03:35.000The conservative movement would do very well to embrace the spirit of Machiavelli as detailed in The Prince, if we want to win.
00:03:46.000This story, I think, touches on it perfectly.
00:03:49.000It's a story that shows how indifference neutrality is actually losing.
00:03:56.000The postmillennial reports at thepostmillennial.com, just one of several of these stories of how the gender and the sex fight is coming into the courts.
00:04:08.000And judges and the courts in red America are woefully unprepared for this fight.
00:04:14.000We talked to the story before of Artemis Langford.
00:04:18.000Now, Artemis Langford looks like a white Michael Orr, like you could be a right tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
00:04:29.000Obviously, he has deep-seated mental problems.
00:04:31.000I hope Artemis finds a counselor to help him through that.
00:04:36.000But instead of dealing with his mental problems in private, like mature adults do, he wants the rest of the world to suffer and be uncomfortable because of his deep-seated mental problems.
00:04:53.000It's another thing to say the rest of the world must also suffer simultaneously because I also have mental issues.
00:04:59.000So Artemis Langford, who is a biological male, the guy towers over these women, demands that he is able to become a sorority sister at the University of Wyoming.
00:05:11.000So several of these college students, females, brought a lawsuit against Kappa Kappa Gamma, KKG, which is supposed to be all about sisterhood, over the policy allowing a biological man into the sisterhood.
00:05:25.000That case has now been rejected by the U.S. District for Wyoming, and the sisters of the sorority will now be forced to allow a man entry into the all-female group.
00:05:37.000Artemis Langford reportedly watched the college girls undress, sometimes sporting an erection while doing so.
00:05:44.000The sorority sisters didn't like it, but Kappa Kappa Gamma policy is that men who claim to be women are women enough to be part of the sisterhood.
00:05:53.000So basically, we are now forcing 50% of the population to let their social lives be dominated by disgusting mentally ill, neurotic, predatory freaks.
00:06:03.000This person, Artemis Langford, is a neurotic freak.
00:06:07.000And the courts say, well, we don't take stances on gender.
00:06:11.000Not taking a stance on gender is taking a stance on gender.
00:06:15.000And so in the University of Wyoming, in the red state of Wyoming, they are subjecting these young ladies to a form of sexual abuse, court-mandated sexual abuse in the name of trans rights.
00:06:30.000This is happening all across the country and not just in sports, in changing rooms and locker rooms and sororities.
00:06:36.000And you might say, well, Charlie, where are the feminists?
00:06:56.000That was Betty Fredan's feminine mystique that women will be happier if you freeze your eggs, that women will be happier if you run the companies, that women will be happier if you become more like men.
00:07:09.000It is only natural that eventually that women become men.
00:07:14.000So the whole, the next step of feminism, third and fourth wave feminism, is that women will be happier if you literally be a man.
00:07:21.000Now, we used to say when I used to go to college campuses that feminism is all about hating men.
00:07:41.000This is why they hate sororities, because they're female-only spaces.
00:07:48.000And parents, legislatures in Wyoming, the governor of Wyoming, they're all just kind of sitting around and they're saying, well, I guess we have to let the freak in.
00:08:23.000If a woman who thinks that she is a man wanted to join a fraternity, that person would be made fun of so much, bullied so much, crying so much, they would get themselves out.
00:08:33.000These girls should bully this freak, but they won't.
00:08:38.000Because they say, well, maybe we should have compassion for the predator who's getting an erection while watching other girls undress.
00:12:49.000They use these words so frequently, they don't actually know what they mean.
00:12:54.000So kappa kappagamma.org, who's allowing this man in there who is getting off sexually being around women on dress, saying you must be in there.
00:13:06.000Remember, these girls were suing the private organization.
00:13:08.000University of Wyoming says, oh, there's nothing we could do about it.
00:13:10.000Yeah, you could call the local sheriff and arrest him for being a weirdo, but they wouldn't do that, obviously, because they're weak, because we become a very, very weak country.
00:14:57.000Judge Alan Johnson dismissed the case, Weston Brook v. Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity.
00:15:02.000The ruling from Johnson was that it was the right of the group to redefine the word woman to include men.
00:15:08.000The court says that we will not define woman today.
00:15:11.000We laughed when Katanji Brown Jackson said she couldn't define a woman.
00:15:16.000That is the entire American legal profession right now.
00:15:21.000Oberlin, college administrators, caught on secret recording reprimanding head lacrosse coach for defending women's sports.
00:15:28.000California Attorney General sues Chino Valley Schools over policy requiring parental notification if a kid wants to transition their gender.
00:15:38.000So they say it's basic freedom association.
00:17:45.000Fill out the quick form and they'll get you back with answers, andrewandtodd.com.
00:17:51.000Joining us now is one of the smartest and clearest thinkers in the country who has been speaking out more and more on politics, and I really enjoy his commentary.
00:18:00.000David Sachs, who is a legendary entrepreneur and really sees things clearly.
00:18:05.000David, thank you for taking time to join our program and also the all-in podcast.
00:18:12.000I want to make sure we plug that as well.
00:18:14.000So, David, I caught a clip of yours this last weekend.
00:18:17.000If that's okay, I want to play it because what you said was super smart.
00:18:20.000You talked about the disconnect between Republican primary voters and the people running for the Republican nomination as illustrated by our event we hosted a couple weeks ago.
00:18:32.000There is polling by CNN that a majority of Americans have now turned against the idea of giving more aid to Ukraine.
00:18:38.000I'm sure that number is much higher in the Republican Party.
00:18:41.000If you remember, there was an event, Charlie Kirk, who is a conservative influencer, has an event called Turning Point USA, and they did polling of their conference attendees.
00:18:53.000The number one issue that everyone agreed on was Ukraine.
00:18:56.00095% of the attendees opposed giving more aid to Ukraine.
00:19:14.000And yet, Viveka is the only kid on that stage that was willing to raise his hand, like aggressively, like full-throatedly, not kind of a half-hearted, to saying that he did not agree with Biden's policy on Ukraine.
00:19:29.000I have several questions, but the floor is yours.
00:19:31.000Yeah, I mean, I think that the base of the party is very well informed about this war, and I think they understand it.
00:19:38.000I think they understand that this is a proxy war of choice that's turning into a forever war, another quagmire for the United States.
00:19:45.000They're very much opposed to spending over $100 billion that's already been appropriated in Ukraine when we have so many festering problems at home.
00:19:54.000They would like, I think, an American president to focus on problems here at home and spend our limited money here at home.
00:20:02.000And I think they also understand the ways in which the Biden administration caused this war.
00:20:07.000This is a war that was easily avoidable, that was caused by the United States bringing NATO, seeking to bring NATO right up to Russia's borders.
00:20:17.000And the Biden administration could have found any one of many off-ramps in 2021 or early 2022 to avoid this war.
00:20:29.000And I think finally, the base of the party understands that it's not going well.
00:20:32.000Even the mainstream media has finally had to acknowledge that this Ukrainian counteroffensive is failing, that the losses have been staggering.
00:20:40.000The reports from the battlefields have been sobering.
00:20:43.000And now you see the blame game and the finger pointing between the U.S. and its Ukrainian allies where they're blaming each other for this failure.
00:20:50.000So I think the party, the base of the party is well informed.
00:20:53.000It understands what's happening and it would like to see this conflict brought to an end.
00:20:57.000And yet, there's hardly any difference between most members of the Republican elite.
00:21:02.000So candidates like Christie, Haley, Pence, and Scott, I mean, they basically have no qualms with the Biden policy of endless war for, you know, as much as it takes for as long as it takes.
00:21:16.000Their only complaint about Biden really is that he's not doing enough fast enough for them.
00:21:20.000So, you know, unlimited funding forever is still not enough.
00:21:27.000And by the way, this is the position of most of the Republicans in Washington, the GOP establishment, Mitch McConnell, and about two-thirds of our elected representatives in Washington.
00:21:41.000But I think the base of the party is very much on a different page.
00:21:44.000And so I think eventually this has to play out in the Republican primary.
00:21:48.000So you have to help me understand this.
00:21:50.000And I spoke to Tucker Carlson about this, and he agreed.
00:21:53.000The caricature of the stereotype that most people have when it comes to politicians is they'll say anything to get elected.
00:21:59.000So they'll read the room, they'll see where people are, and then they'll kind of conform to the majority opinion, that they're shapeshifters, if you will.
00:22:08.000If they were actually the political panderers that most people believe politicians are, then they would just kind of say some sort of, you know, oh, yeah, Ukraine not going well.
00:22:48.000I think there's a couple of things going on.
00:22:49.000I think one is that there is a difference between what the base of the party thinks and what the elites think, what the establishment thinks.
00:22:58.000And I don't know if that's because of ideology or whether it's because of the money that's involved.
00:23:04.000I mean, the defense contractors, the military-industrial complex, and all these different groups that benefit from us spending hundreds of billions of dollars in these forever wars.
00:23:14.000I mean, I think they're a powerful interest group.
00:23:17.000I mean, most of the think tanks are funded by the military-industrial complex.
00:23:20.000And so they're putting out a steady stream of propaganda for this war.
00:23:24.000So I don't know if it's a function of money or ideology, but there is clearly a difference between what the ordinary voter in the Republican primary thinks and what most Republican politicians think.
00:23:35.000And let's remember, I mean, you had the same dynamic in 2016.
00:23:39.000One of the reasons why Donald Trump came out of nowhere to become the Republican nominee is he said no more bushes.
00:23:45.000We had this experience of two decades of forever wars in the Middle East that had cost us trillions of dollars and had led to the deaths of millions of people.
00:23:55.000And, you know, we had thousands of our own casualties and wounded warriors coming back.
00:24:00.000And Donald Trump said that, you know, no more bushes, no more of these forever wars.
00:24:04.000And he was the only Republican on that stage.
00:24:07.000There were something like 16 primary candidates, and he was the only one to say that.
00:24:11.000So, you know, I don't know what the mental block is with most Republicans, but they still have not gotten on the same page as the majority of their party.
00:24:21.000The calculus, as I can see it, is they see the downside of betraying the capital flows of neoconservatism is much greater than the upside of potentially winning votes, meaning they still want to have a career and give speeches because they know deep down the likelihood of them becoming the nominee is next to zero.
00:24:37.000So they do not want to break that orthodoxy for a livelihood reason, for a comfort reason, whatever it might be.
00:24:44.000And so that is one line that won't be crossed.
00:24:46.000So now we're seeing, David, Vivek Ramaswamy get attacked from every direction.
00:24:54.000And he was saying pretty base things and his polling was going up.
00:24:58.000But as soon as he started to articulate his foreign policy, I mean, you know, in the breaks, I read the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Politico.
00:25:05.000This is a multi-institutional firing squad against the Indian dude with a weird name.
00:25:23.000I mean, you really see how much of a uniparty there is when it comes to an issue like this.
00:25:30.000You have both the Wall Street Journal editorial page, which is supposed to be nominally conservative, and the Washington Post both denouncing Vivek.
00:25:39.000So all of the major media, even, you know, even, again, putatively conservative media, that's part of the establishment is denouncing him.
00:25:48.000And yeah, you see that these parties, which we're told never agree on anything, they really march in lockstep and close ranks when someone threatens this, like you said, neocon agenda.
00:26:00.000The foreign policy establishment has been completely taken over by this neocon wing.
00:26:06.000And they really close ranks around any threats to it.
00:26:11.000And you saw this, I think, with the types of criticism that people like Nikki Haley and Mike Pence were making against Vivek on that stage.
00:26:22.000I mean, you had Nikki Haley was repeating this sort of hackney talking point that anybody who wants to show judgment and restraint in our foreign policy and limit our involvement and interventions overseas is inexperienced, you know, or weak.
00:26:41.000I mean, this is the rhetoric that you hear that was then echoed by the Washington Post or Wall Street Journal.
00:26:46.000But what is it exactly about our foreign policy over the last 20 years that would make anyone want to choose so-called experience?
00:26:53.000All the people with experience have gotten everything wrong over the past 20 years.
00:26:58.000I mean, you know, they got us into Iraq based on a bunch of lies.
00:27:02.000They kept us in Afghanistan for 20 years.
00:27:07.000And again, they avoided all of the easily taken actions and off-ramps that would have avoided this war in Ukraine.
00:27:15.000So what is it about this foreign policy establishment that's so experienced that we should defer to?
00:27:21.000You know, again, I'm all in favor of looking at a candidate's frack record.
00:27:24.000But if you look at the track record of people like Nikki Haley, it's a track record of failure.
00:27:28.000I would much rather bet on the rookie who has fresh ideas, who's not beholden to the past, and who's expressing a correct understanding of our foreign policy choices.
00:27:39.000And again, this is exactly the choice that the Republican base faced in 2016 when they went with another rookie, Donald Trump.
00:27:46.000And I think this is the choice that, again, we face today.
00:27:57.000Who made Henry Kissinger the standard bearer of foreign policy?
00:28:01.000Like the guy that made China one of the wealthiest countries on the planet, the guy that has supported neoconservative imperialism in every sovereign country in the Middle East.
00:28:12.000What they're getting at, though, and you're so right, is this tired old attack vector of inexperience, lack of depth, let the experts take over.
00:28:21.000David, I do see some promising trends, not on the left.
00:28:24.000The left is like suspiciously pro-war now.
00:28:28.000But I am starting to see the same way that the expert class was challenged post-COVID, the foreign policy expert class, at least on the right, is not taken very seriously.
00:28:40.000I think the analogy to COVID is a very good one.
00:28:42.000I think that what happened with COVID is that the American people learned over time that the experts were not to be trusted, these so-called experts, the people who ran our health establishment.
00:28:56.000You know, we had lockdowns, and then they pumped this vaccine that they told us was safe and effective, and it turned out not to work at all.
00:29:06.000So I think that there's something similar happening, a similar eyes are being opened to our foreign policy establishment.
00:29:11.000And I would say that Victoria Newland is the Fauci of this situation in the same way that we learned that Fauci was supposed to be preventing pandemics and instead he was funding gain of function research.
00:29:23.000Victoria Newland was supposed to be our chief diplomat over there and instead she was fomenting coups in Kiev and regime change wars.
00:29:32.000So I think we're learning that the people who are supposed to be running our State Department again in charge of American diplomacy are actually creating problems and wars for us to get into.
00:29:43.000The right, because of the treatment of Donald Trump, for better or for worse, is more willing to cast aside multi-decade trust of institutions.
00:29:51.000So the right has an appetite to say, you know what, the generals are also awful because the CDC is awful and Bob Mueller was awful.
00:29:58.000So there is a low trust of institutions on the right.
00:30:00.000Not saying that's a great societal indicator, but actually it's probably where we should be.
00:30:04.000So David, I mean, you've had to kind of swim in the lanes of people that would call themselves on the left for years.
00:30:11.000I'm sure you remember being lectured about foreign wars and how it is the liberal position to be against foreign wars, which I sympathize with actually.
00:30:20.000I think neoconservatism is disgusting and ugly and awful.
00:30:24.000I wish the right would embrace that, our leadership would.
00:30:27.000But what's happened to the rank and file of the left?
00:30:30.000I know this is something that you probably get a question every so often, but it seems as if the Democrat Party, if you will, is all on board for the no-win war agenda, helping Ukraine.
00:30:46.000Well, I think the Democrat Party in general is now the party of the elite, and it's a party of elite institutions.
00:30:52.000And I think one of the fundamental differences and worldview between liberals and conservatives is that liberals believe that the way that you understand the world, what mediates our understanding of the world, are these experts.
00:31:09.000That's how you understand what's going on.
00:31:11.000And the experts are basically the people who they say they are, but that wouldn't be that convincing to people.
00:31:17.000So what they do is they say the experts are the people who come out of these elite institutions and who run these institutions, the people who have these elite credentials.
00:31:25.000And on the surface, it makes sense, right?
00:31:27.000People who are running these elite institutions, they should be the experts.
00:31:30.000The problem is that there's been kind of this liberal takeover of all of our elite institutions.
00:31:37.000And so they're all kind of marching in lockstep.
00:31:41.000And when they're wrong, there is no accountability.
00:31:46.000The media, which is really supposed to hold them accountable, has instead become their Praetorian guard and will cover up and defend them.
00:31:53.000And again, we saw this during COVID, that all the people who got everything wrong during COVID, there was no comeuppance or accountability for any of them.
00:32:01.000And I think we're seeing the same thing now when the foreign policy establishment fails.
00:32:06.000And really, any of these elites, again, there is no accountability for any of them when they get things so horribly wrong.
00:32:15.000There's an article for the Jacobin newspaper or magazine or whatever.
00:32:19.000The Democrat base just keeps getting richer and wider.
00:32:23.000Do you think that there's going to be some potential schism in the Democrat Party?
00:32:28.000Because in some ways it's a forced marriage.
00:32:30.000You have the party of Aspen, Sun Valley, Kenny Bunkport kind of married together with the, let's just say, more activist class of, you know, Fulton County.
00:32:44.000That's not exactly a match made in heaven, right?
00:32:47.000I mean, the Bernie Sanders AOC types complain about oligarchy and corporate dominance, all the while the Democrat Party is the party of Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Stanford.
00:32:57.000Is that ever going to materialize, or is that kind of forced marriage going to stay as long as bad man Donald Trump is in the picture?
00:33:04.000Well, I think that there's a strong crusader element to crusader zeal to our elites.
00:33:12.000And there's been what I call the woke neocon fusion.
00:33:41.000I mean, but that is the name that they themselves, neocons, have, have called it.
00:33:46.000They want to, it's a type of imperial hegemony in which we impose our values on the entire world.
00:33:53.000And those values are the values not of the ordinary American, but of our foreign policy establishment and of our, again, elite institutions that are run by all of these people.
00:34:03.000So I think their party, sort of the party of the ruling elite, might be more stable than we think.
00:34:11.000I think the schism is going to be within the Republican Party, and you're already seeing that, and you saw it on this debate stage.
00:34:17.000The question is, are we going to be the party of Oliver Anthony, who in that song, Richmond North of Richmond, he's really talking about the blob.
00:34:28.000And he confirmed it in an interview with the Free Press.
00:34:30.000He said, I'm singing about a lot of the older super conservative politicians that brought us into endless war through my entire childhood.
00:35:01.000Are we going to be the party that appeals to an Oliver Anthony or to a Bryce Mitchell member, the MMA fighter, who said that I'm not going to fight in any of these politicians' wars?
00:35:11.000If the war ever comes to my state of Arkansas, I will dig my boots into the ground and fight.
00:35:16.000But I'm not going to fight for these politics.
00:35:17.000Or are we a party that appropriates Oliver Anthony and ignores everything he talks about?
