In this episode, we talk about the Democratic response to the recent events in Portland, Oregon and Washington, D.C. as well as some of the craziness that has been happening around the Supreme Court and in the streets of DC.
00:00:00.000Let me ask you something. The fact that I'm drinking LaCroix fruit-flavored sparkling water and that I quite enjoy it, does that detract from my overall manliness?
00:00:15.720And the fact that I'm wearing a pink shirt whilst drinking the LaCroix, does that affect one way or another?
00:00:21.460And the fact that I just used the word whilst instead of while, how does that, where does that, is that a help or a hindrance in my overall manliness?
00:00:31.460You know what? I don't care. Anyway, it's, I'm not going to be put in a box. I'm not going to be labeled, all right?
00:00:39.500I'm not going to say gender is fluid for me, but I don't have to be gender solid either, do I?
00:00:45.060Maybe I can be more of a gender pudding, let us say. You know, these are more enlightened times, so you guys need to catch up is all I'm saying.
00:00:55.380All right. I, yes, gender pudding is, sounds like a really, really bizarre and weird flavor of pudding.
00:01:07.800So, look, I think that we are headed to a dark place in our, in society right now, in our country.
00:01:16.960And it seems that Democrats are trying very hard to push us into that place.
00:01:23.440And when I say we're headed into that place and we're being pushed there, I should say that we're headed or we're being pushed further into that kind of dark place
00:01:32.540because we, we're already in a, you know, we're already there to a certain extent.
00:01:36.580We're already in a place where, for instance, violent anarchist thugs can shut down a city street and accost anyone who happens to pass by,
00:01:47.920which, which we, we, we've seen repeatedly over the last few years.
00:01:51.840And maybe you saw it happen yet again over the weekend.
00:01:54.480Maybe you didn't see, because it's not the kind of thing the media likes to report on.
00:01:58.240But the, the, um, Antifa thugs shut down an intersection in Portland over the weekend and, uh, they blocked traffic.
00:02:06.380They physically threatened motorists to pass by.
00:02:10.160Um, at one point they, that was just watching the video where they chased down an elderly man who was, who was simply, he was, it looks like he was just trying to drive through.
00:02:22.140And, uh, but they were blocking the intersection, trying to direct traffic and saying, no, you, you're not allowed to come here.
00:02:28.240And so this guy just tried to get through and they chased down his vehicle and they started beating on his vehicle with batons while screaming, like right in his face, screaming obscenities at him.
00:02:38.720And you watch the footage of this happening in Portland.
00:02:44.440They're just, I mean, it's incredible, but in the more incredible thing is that we're used to it.
00:02:50.220That these people in masks can just take over a street.
00:02:55.260And if you try to, if you, if you try to walk by, they'll just beat you up and nobody, the police are just letting it happen.
00:03:02.260Maybe because they're told to let it happen.
00:03:03.940Whatever the reason is, uh, they have, the law enforcement decided to give these, these domestic terrorists free reign for the afternoon.
00:03:11.140Meanwhile, while that was going on, you had the protesters and what protesters, I should say, put that in scare quotes in Washington, DC, who were being arrested as they tried to disrupt the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
00:03:22.600You had, we talked about a few days ago, um, what was disturbing, but also pretty hilarious scene of the protesters.
00:03:29.500There's, again, in scare quotes, banging on the doors of the Supreme Court, clawing at the doors, screeching like zombies.
00:03:39.640And it's just, and this all happened, uh, only, uh, you know, only a few days, several days after Ted Cruz was chased out of a restaurant by a swarming mob of, uh, of harassers.
00:03:50.900And these have become familiar scenes in America.
00:03:53.680And the thing is, when we talk about the democratic response to all this, it would be too generous to say that, well, Democrat politicians have been silent in the face of all this.
00:04:13.800Remember what Maxine Waters said infamously to her supporters a couple months ago.
00:04:18.460She said, whenever you see, uh, you know, somebody in the Trump administration, you see a Republican, create a crowd and, and, uh, tell them they're not welcome anywhere.
00:04:29.260They're not welcome anywhere is what she encouraged her supporters to, to say and to do.
00:04:36.540Um, Senator Hirono was, uh, was asked on CNN a couple of days ago, whether she thinks it may be going too far to run senators out of restaurants.
00:04:47.780And to go to their homes, to go to their homes.
00:05:09.160When, when someone actually takes a shot at one of these politicians, when there's an, when I should say, when there's another assassination attempt, was that what she's going to say then too?
00:05:23.840Two days ago, Hillary Clinton, uh, all but explicitly called for more violence when she said that, uh, you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.
00:05:41.840Now let's, let's keep something in mind here.
00:05:44.720A political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.
00:05:47.380Well, that's, that's, that's the nature of political disagreement, of ideological disagreement, isn't it?
00:05:53.780You know, you, you want to establish one kind of society and the other side wants to destroy that vision, destroy that society and put a new, a different kind of society in place.
00:06:09.180That's, that's the nature of disagreement.
00:06:10.900So what, my point is what Hillary Clinton is actually saying here is she's saying, um, you forget about destroy what you stand for.
00:06:20.340She, what she's saying is you can't be civil with a political party that disagrees with you.
00:07:14.920And they continue spreading the lies and the rhetoric, hands up, don't shoot, that kind of stuff.
00:07:20.040That was encouraging this kind of stuff.
00:07:21.840Um, now this should go without saying, but, but I'll say it anyway, as we're talking about temperament, Democrats apparently care about temperament so much.
00:07:33.840Well, a politician who will not loudly and convincingly condemn rioting, harassment, intimidation, tactics, violence.
00:07:44.360These are politicians who do not have the temperament for office.
00:07:47.900And unfortunately that describes almost every Democrat politician, at least on the national level and probably most on the, you know, more localized level as well.
00:08:01.780Politicians like that, they're, they're, they're just far too vengeful, reckless, um, to hold political office.
00:08:09.840And it's like, it's one thing if you have a Supreme court justice who gets pretty angry when you accuse him of raping somebody.
00:08:23.440But when you have a major political party that's led by people who will unapologetically incite violence against their opponents, that's a totally different thing altogether.
00:08:34.540Now, yesterday, Rand Paul came out and he warned us very strong words.
00:08:41.320He warned that, uh, that there might be an assassination.
00:08:44.400So he's speaking explicitly about assassinations using that word, the a word.
00:08:49.640You don't hear that very often coming from politicians.
00:08:51.900He said that he's worried there's going to be an assassination.
00:08:54.480And, uh, he said that those who are quote, ratcheting up the conversation, they're going to bear some of the responsibility.
00:09:01.480That's, that's a strong, strong words from Rand Paul, especially coming from a guy who was, who was, if you may remember, attacked and badly beaten just last year.
00:09:46.500When Eric Holder questions, calls into question the legitimacy of our governing institutions.
00:09:51.520And Maxine Waters tells her supporters to follow Republicans around and tell them they're not welcome anywhere.
00:09:58.780And Hillary Clinton, uh, says that, well, we can't be civil with Republicans because they're so evil.
00:10:03.900And Hirono justifies mob behavior by calling the, uh, the, the mobbing hordes motivated.
00:10:12.080And when Cory Booker tells his base that they should quote, get up in the faces of Republican congressmen, all of this stuff, when they do that, we can only conclude one of two things.
00:10:55.900And so the only real question, I think, is whether Democrats are simply unconcerned with the violence that they might cause or if they actively want the violence.
00:11:11.560And there's a pretty, either way, it's terrible.
00:11:14.120There's still a pretty big difference between those two things.
00:11:16.120Are they actively trying to incite violence or is it just that, uh, they know that they may be inciting violence, but they don't care as long as they achieve whatever their, their, their ultimate political aim.
00:11:29.640I think there's plenty of reasons, reason to suspect that this is, that this is what they actually want.
00:11:36.840Um, politicians, we should remember are very calculated, especially Democrat politicians, especially Democrat politicians like Hillary Clinton.
00:11:43.700Hillary Clinton never says anything that hasn't been thought about ahead of time.
00:12:12.400There's a reason why these people have chosen now in a moment in time, when tensions are so high, when divisions are so deep, when anarchists are in the street, shutting down traffic, senators, families are receiving graphic death threats, uh, which is what was happening during the Kavanaugh confirmation.
00:12:31.040Um, there's a reason why they've chosen now in the midst of all that to start using this especially militant language.
00:12:37.120Somebody like Eric Holder, who was the attorney general of the United States not too long ago, he doesn't, he, he, he's not going to get up there and announce that.
00:13:16.460Now there is another thing to consider here.
00:13:19.480It's, it's, it's kind of an interesting, uh, wrinkle.
00:13:21.920Um, the interesting thing is that the side, the political side that seems to be chumming the water for civil unrest, they're also the side that opposes gun ownership, right?
00:13:36.780Um, there was an editor at think progress recently who said on Twitter that Republicans should be confronted quote, where they eat and where they sleep.
00:13:54.140What else does that, does that mean besides go into their house?
00:13:58.000So he's saying that yet, and this is right in line with what these other more prominent Democrats have said, uh, like what Maxine water said, it's all in the same vein.
00:14:10.120So he's saying that yet Republicans are the ones with all the guns.
00:14:15.140So you confront, I mean, it's, it's probably not going to work out well for you if you try to go into a conservative's house and confront them where he sleeps.
00:14:22.340The left seems to be itching for this confrontation with people who have them outgunned by like three to one.
00:14:33.460I think there's about three times more, um, Republicans who, who own guns than there are, than there are Democrats.
00:14:40.860So it's just, I mean, it's, it's a miracle that, that, uh, one of these motorists or, or, or innocent bystanders who have been assaulted at, at, at Antifa rallies.
00:14:52.020It's a, it's a miracle that one of them hasn't pulled a firearm by now.
00:14:55.980It's, it's, uh, it's only a matter of time.
00:15:00.100It seems like when, when you start chasing people down in their cars and begging on their cars and all this kind of stuff, trying to intimidate them, screaming in their face, assaulting them.
00:15:12.560I guess if you do it in Portland, you know, your chances are pretty good that they're going to be unarmed, but you start doing that kind of thing and you're really asking for trouble.
00:15:22.860Um, and if the left plans to really ratchet up the violence, which is what we're seeing, then the chances seem to be greatly increased that they're going to find themselves on the wrong end of one of those confrontations.
00:15:37.040So that's, that's an interesting part of this.
00:15:41.280And you, and you have to wonder, is that part of the plan?
00:15:45.200I don't want to get too conspira, uh, you know, I don't want to get into conspiracies here, but
00:15:48.800do, do Democrats want gun owners to start losing their cool in the face of provocation?
00:15:58.600Um, or have they not far thought that far, far ahead?
00:16:03.900Um, or do they figure that it works out for them either way?
00:16:07.920Because if you, if you start, you know, if you, if you, if you, if you, if things really get violent and, um, you can intimidate Republicans and conservatives into backing down, then you kind of get your way.
00:16:19.920But on the other hand, if you are able to incite, um, more of a two way kind of violence, if you're able to get that going, well, then you have a case.
00:16:31.800Now you're going to use that as a case to restrict the second amendment.
