The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1431 - The Real Reason Why Kamala Won't Answer Questions

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Kamala Harris won't answer questions or tell us about her policies. 1.00

00:00:03.980 She's leaving it to surrogates instead. 0.95

00:00:05.620 And one of her most influential surrogates just declared that Kamala's actual plan is to reimagine democracy 1.00

00:00:10.520 so that it works for everyone but straight white men.

00:00:14.020 Also, Robin DiAngelo gets caught up in a plagiarism scandal.

00:00:17.140 Doug Emhoff has crowned our country's new sex symbol by The Washington Post.

00:00:20.880 And while astronauts are stranded on the International Space Station, NASA is focused on decolonizing whiteness. 0.93

00:00:26.340 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll see you next time.

00:01:00.080 Unfiltered, ad-free shows, real-time breaking news alerts, and more.

00:01:03.140 But most importantly, you'll get the truth that the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear.

00:01:07.920 Being a husband, father, and host of my own show means life never slows down.

00:01:11.780 Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and vegetables every single day.

00:01:15.960 That sounds miserable and time-consuming.

00:01:19.740 But with Balance of Nature Fruits and Veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement to ensure that you get a wide variety of fruits and vegetables every day with 31 different whole fruit and vegetable ingredients.

00:01:49.680 One of the things you're not supposed to do when you're in the business of news reporting or political commentary is repeat yourself.

00:01:56.480 Saying the same thing over and over again is usually a good way to turn off your audience.

00:02:00.120 Nobody likes a broken record.

00:02:01.600 And I say that as a broken record myself.

00:02:03.900 Everyone in the media knows this.

00:02:05.760 Political campaigns know it too, and they count on it.

00:02:08.380 They think that if they just ignore inconvenient facts, no matter how bad they may be,

00:02:13.720 then eventually people will stop talking about them because they'll get bored of continually correcting the record.

00:02:19.180 And that's why I'm going to begin by repeating a highly inconvenient fact that the Kamala Harris campaign apparently wants everyone to ignore,

00:02:26.100 even though it's unprecedented in modern politics.

00:02:28.900 Which is that since becoming her party's presumptive nominee well over a month ago,

00:02:33.100 Kamala Harris still hasn't participated in a single press conference or interview.

00:02:38.320 The most she's done is deflect a couple of softballs on an airport tarmac. 0.86

00:02:44.140 Harris was almost completely absent from the Sunday shows the other day,

00:02:46.900 even though pretty much every single Sunday show is explicitly on the side of her campaign.

00:02:51.660 And even when Joe Biden ran for office in 2020, when he was secluded in his house, supposedly because of COVID,

00:02:57.060 he sat for more interviews than this.

00:02:59.420 He logged in via Zoom and only spoke to media outlets that wanted to do everything in their power to prop him up.

00:03:04.300 But still, he technically spoke to the media.

00:03:07.620 Kamala Harris isn't even capable of doing that. 1.00

00:03:10.280 And to this day, there are still no policies listed on her campaign's website.

00:03:15.200 She's given speeches about price controls and more taxes, but she hasn't outlined how any of that stuff will work in practice.

00:03:22.000 Now, this strategy of completely ignoring the public, the people Kamala Harris supposedly wants to represent and lead, 0.87

00:03:29.220 has had a few predictable consequences.

00:03:30.700 One of them is that people are now digging up old Kamala Harris interviews that she gave months ago and posting them all over social media.

00:03:38.380 These interviews aren't necessarily interesting, but there's a lot of demand out there for videos of Kamala speaking in an unscripted setting,

00:03:44.820 actually answering questions, talking about policy.

00:03:48.960 So they're racking up millions of views.

00:03:50.780 And here's one of those interviews that's making the rounds.

00:03:53.380 As far as I can tell, it's from, I think, several months ago when Joe Biden was officially still running for president.

00:04:01.160 And it illustrates very clearly why Kamala Harris isn't giving any interviews now that she's been named the party's presumptive nominee.

00:04:09.480 Watch.

00:04:11.220 On a different front, Axios this week reported that President Trump, if he gets a second term,

00:04:15.760 will sort of dial back, for lack of a better term, DEI programs that the Biden administration has put in forth.

00:04:20.220 Obviously, I know you disagree with that.

00:04:21.620 I obviously believe that you don't want him to get a second term.

00:04:23.900 That said, if that does happen, what do you think that would do to race relations in this country?

00:04:28.900 Well, let me say we're going to win, so it's not going to happen.

00:04:32.580 But I think that, listen, today is actually, I believe, an anniversary in terms of Dr. King, right?

00:04:42.800 And I was just in Selma, and we celebrated, well, acknowledged the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

00:04:51.620 I think it's really important that we as Americans always embrace our history, the parts that we're proud of and the parts that we're not proud of but that we can't forget.

00:05:03.120 And we should all agree that we should teach history, we should learn history if we're to ever have an accurate idea of where we want to go and where we don't want to go in the future.

00:05:17.120 And that means also acknowledging the importance of diversity.

00:05:21.880 It means acknowledging the importance of the fact that everyone should have equal opportunity to compete and equity.

00:05:30.820 And then, of course, inclusion that, you know, hey, let's look around the room and see who's not here.

00:05:36.300 And did we leave the door open?

00:05:37.780 So, no surprise that this woman is not being allowed to speak off the script. 1.00

00:05:46.260 And it's a bit like that video.

00:05:48.480 It really reminds you, in a lot of ways, that video of Miss Teen USA.

00:05:53.180 I think it was in 2007.

00:05:55.500 Infamous video, the one where she's asked why people can't find America on a map.

00:06:00.280 And she starts by talking about the Iraq and everywhere like such as Kamala Harris has a similar kind of vibe to her.

00:06:08.480 Even when she's trying to say normal things.

00:06:10.040 Like she says, today's an anniversary in terms of Dr. King.

00:06:13.300 What do you mean in terms of?

00:06:15.800 What is it?

00:06:16.720 Just speak.

00:06:18.560 Can you at least say that sentence in a normal way?

00:06:21.240 Except in this case, you know, we're talking about someone who is not at a beauty pageant.

00:06:25.780 God forbid, we're talking about someone who wants to be president of the United States.

00:06:31.500 And she was asked in very clear terms to defend her administration's DEI programs, which the Trump campaign says that it wants to dismantle.

00:06:38.140 That includes programs that would allocate tens of billions of dollars to women and minority owned restaurants, meaning restaurants that are not owned by white men. 0.99

00:06:45.620 It also includes the Biden administration's plan to allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to black farmers, which a federal judge has shut down.

00:06:51.860 And of course, it includes the federal government's preferential hiring for so-called minorities, including air traffic controllers with, quote, severe intellectual disabilities.

00:07:01.280 That's who they're trying to hire there.

00:07:03.180 What could possibly go wrong?

00:07:04.580 Now, this should not have been a difficult question to respond to for Kamala Harris.

00:07:08.280 Kamala Harris, by Joe Biden's own admission, is the nation's first DEI vice president.

00:07:12.500 She's constantly talking about equity and diversity and how it should be in the foreground of everything the government does.

00:07:19.180 So this should be right in her wheelhouse.

00:07:20.700 She should have something ready to go to talk about this.

00:07:23.900 But it shouldn't even have to be off the cuff because she should be she should have like a canned thing in her head that she just repeats.

00:07:30.400 But when you listen to the answer, it's evident that Kamala Harris knows nothing about any of these DEI policies, or at the very least, if she's aware of these programs, she's certainly not capable of speaking about them in any sort of coherent fashion.

00:07:41.620 So she starts speaking very broadly about the importance of teaching history.

00:07:45.040 She says that everyone should have an opportunity to compete, which isn't something that anybody opposes, by the way.

00:07:51.980 We all agree everyone should have the opportunity to compete.

00:07:55.340 But the results of that competition are not guaranteed and will not be equal.

00:08:00.680 Then she meanders a little bit more.

00:08:02.100 And that's how she answers every question when she's off the cuff.

00:08:05.640 This was painful to listen to for about a dozen reasons.

00:08:09.660 And it wasn't even a challenging question.

00:08:11.920 So imagine how she'd handle an actual question about anything remotely complicated. 0.80

00:08:15.480 Because Democrats are now saddled with a candidate who is somehow almost as incompetent and incomprehensible as Joe Biden,

00:08:24.860 it falls on campaign surrogates to explain what Kamala Harris will do if she does indeed become the next president. 1.00

00:08:30.640 She can't explain it, but maybe other people can.

00:08:33.780 And normally it wouldn't make a lot of sense to spend a lot of time talking about what campaign surrogates say.

00:08:39.280 But in this case, Kamala has left us with no choice.

00:08:41.480 They're the only ones out there speaking.

00:08:44.080 She can't speak for herself, so others have to speak for her.

00:08:47.300 And that brings us to this recent clip from HRC President Kelly Robinson,

00:08:51.800 who just spoke at the Democrat National Convention.

00:08:54.380 She gave a short speech and also appeared at an equality panel, which is where this clip is from.

00:09:00.220 Now, if you're not familiar with the HRC, which stands for Human Rights Campaign,

00:09:04.620 I've exposed a lot of their previous scams on the show in the past.

00:09:08.300 They're the same organization that routinely lies about the so-called transgenocide in this country 0.72

00:09:12.360 by claiming that trans-identifying people are being murdered in the streets at disproportionate rates.

00:09:16.880 And then when you dig up the numbers and you dig into the numbers in the specific cases,

00:09:20.960 you find the exact opposite.

00:09:22.280 You find that in pretty much every case, these individuals are either committing serious crimes

00:09:26.740 when they were killed, like shooting at police officers or trying to stab security guards,

00:09:29.860 or they were killed for reasons that have nothing to do with their so-called gender identity or sexual orientation.

00:09:36.640 And actually, when you factor all that in, the murder rate for trans people is lower than the general population.

00:09:43.840 But all that to say, under normal circumstances, if you were running a presidential campaign,

00:09:48.820 you wouldn't want the HRC to be speaking for you.

00:09:51.560 But that's what's happening now for the Kamala campaign because they've ceded the floor.

00:09:56.540 So here's the HRC's Kelly Robinson at the DNC explaining what Kamala Harris means

00:10:01.920 when she says that her presidency would restore and protect democracy in this country.

00:10:09.260 Watch.

00:10:10.080 We can't just worry about protecting democracy.

00:10:12.280 In this moment, we've got to reimagine it with people that look and love like us at the center.

00:10:17.540 And I think for us right now, it's about reimagining freedom and this American story in a way

00:10:22.660 that is more revolutionary than what our founders actually put down on that little piece of paper,

00:10:27.200 but instead is the type of democracy that is by and for all of the people of this country.

00:10:33.160 That's the opportunity that we have.

00:10:35.660 So she says that we have to reimagine democracy,

00:10:38.520 and then she gives a clue as to how that reimagined democracy might operate. 1.00

00:10:42.180 According to Kelly Robinson in this new democracy,

00:10:44.160 people who look and love like us should be at, quote, the center.

00:10:51.340 Now, anybody who's familiar with what democracy means can probably spot the problem here.

00:10:56.180 A democracy is a system of government that vests power in the general population.

00:11:00.460 It does not vest power in a small select group of preferred identities

00:11:04.360 who seek to persecute and undermine other identity groups.

00:11:08.240 But that's what Kelly Robinson means when she says democracy. 0.99

00:11:11.240 That's what she means by it.

00:11:13.200 And, of course, it's what Kamala Harris means as well.

00:11:15.580 When she says democracy should be about people who look and love like us,

00:11:19.380 she means that democracy should work for everyone except straight white men. 0.90

00:11:23.800 Their voices are less important.

00:11:26.300 That's what she's saying.

00:11:28.160 Now, what does that look like in practice?

00:11:31.500 Presumably, it means appointing judges who will approve congressional districts

00:11:36.020 that minimize the voting power of straight white men.

00:11:39.140 It means continuing to discriminate against straight white men in all aspects of hiring 0.79

00:11:43.360 in both the government and the private sector. 0.97

00:11:45.720 And it means continuing to tolerate violent racial attacks on white people in broad daylight.

00:11:49.720 Here's just one of those attacks from the other day that you can see. 0.68

00:11:53.020 And this is footage from Staten Island in July, a group of young black men violently assaulted

00:12:00.180 a 62-year-old man, knocking his teeth out of his mouth and beating him for no reason.

00:12:06.360 He's just walking down the street.

00:12:08.160 That's a cliche to point this out, of course.

00:12:09.720 But if the races were reversed, Mayor Garland's DOJ would have opened an investigation already

00:12:14.420 into this obvious hate crime.

00:12:16.960 If anything's a hate crime, if you're going to have that designation for crime,

00:12:20.600 this would qualify.

00:12:21.760 But in this case, nobody in the federal government or the corporate press cares.

00:12:25.320 That's apparently, I guess, what a democracy looks like when it doesn't care about white men, 0.67

00:12:30.980 which is what Kelly Robinson wants, what Kamala Harris wants. 1.00

00:12:35.780 But democracy isn't the only thing we need to rethink, according to Kamala Harris's surrogates. 1.00

00:12:40.040 In that panel discussion, the HRC lady also said that she wants to, quote, reimagine freedom.

00:12:45.120 And this is especially important to keep in mind, because the Kamala campaign is running

00:12:52.160 on a platform of freedom.

00:12:54.220 That is their, that's like their mantra, their slogan.

00:12:58.680 What we have to understand is that it's not freedom as we have traditionally understood it.

00:13:05.940 That's not the freedom they want.

00:13:07.240 It's this reimagined kind of freedom.

00:13:09.180 And what does that look like exactly?

00:13:12.440 And why would we need to reimagine a concept that seems to be pretty straightforward?

00:13:17.280 Like, who isn't free right now in the United States?

00:13:21.540 Except for unborn children in most states in the Union.

00:13:25.460 Now, to try to answer these questions, I went looking for some other videos from Kelly Robinson.

00:13:30.100 I came across this one from when she became the president of the HRC.

00:13:33.420 And it does a pretty good job explaining the outlook of Kamala Harris's campaign and the

00:13:39.360 kinds of people who support it.

00:13:40.760 Watch.

00:13:42.340 I feel like I see this American crisis every day.

00:13:45.820 I've spent my life working in the fight for reproductive rights.

00:13:49.260 My wife works in gun violence prevention.

00:13:51.400 We have a one-year-old in the midst of a formula shortage.

00:13:55.340 Like, every single day, just in my house, I experience a crisis.

00:13:59.820 And at the same time, I know it's not just me, right?

00:14:02.300 Like, whether you care about voting rights or trans kids in schools or abortion access,

00:14:06.620 no matter what the issue is, we are all experiencing an acute crisis right now.

00:14:11.580 Specifically, the LGBTQ plus community.

00:14:15.260 Every single day in my house, I experience a crisis.

00:14:18.180 Which, by the way, you know, for any single men out there, this is like red flag number

00:14:23.800 one you want to look for in a woman. 1.00

00:14:25.720 Now, I mean, in this case, she's a lesbian, so it would sort of a moot point. 1.00

00:14:29.920 But a woman who says that, yeah, every day in my life is a crisis.

00:14:34.660 Every single day, I'm having a crisis.

00:14:37.060 Okay, well, that's someone you want to stay far away from.

00:14:40.280 In this case, this is a woman who, assuming her salary is in line with past HRC presidents,

00:14:45.200 probably pulls in around half a million dollars a year at a minimum.

00:14:48.940 She has a prominent position in the Democrat Party politics that includes prime speaking gigs

00:14:52.800 at the DNC and all over left-wing cable news.

00:14:56.120 So she's one of the wealthiest and most privileged Americans in the country, to use their preferred 0.95

00:15:00.980 lingo.

00:15:02.280 And yet, if we take her at her word, every single day in her house is a crisis.

00:15:06.680 She is perpetually on edge.

00:15:08.780 There are no good days to be had.

00:15:10.700 There's just a never-ending sense of panic and doom and despair in the Kelly Robinson household.

00:15:16.320 This is an ideology of catastrophizing and self-pity.

00:15:23.260 I mean, it's pathological to an absurd and obvious degree.

00:15:26.780 And it's what the Kamala campaign subscribes to. 0.98

00:15:29.680 This is why they say that our entire system of government needs to be completely transformed

00:15:33.280 into a racial and gender-based spoil system where only preferred identity groups matter.

00:15:37.760 They're unloading all of their neuroses on the rest of the country in an effort to obtain 0.98

00:15:43.000 complete and total power over the people that they believe are responsible for their

00:15:46.800 psychological pain.

00:15:49.840 Now, Kamala may not be able to verbalize that because she's not really capable of verbalizing 1.00

00:15:54.960 anything, certainly not anything approaching a coherent thought, but that's what her campaign 0.97

00:15:59.780 stands for.

00:16:01.200 And it's the clearest example of projection that you'll find in modern politics today.

00:16:05.480 No, a vote for Kamala Harris will not end your daily crisis because you're probably not

00:16:11.980 having one.

00:16:13.680 But they are.

00:16:15.460 And the purpose of the Kamala Harris campaign, as told by the surrogates who are forced to 0.80

00:16:19.720 speak for her, is to ensure that one way or another, you experience a daily crisis too.

00:17:36.600 Let's start with this from the Postmillennial.

00:17:38.240 The author of the New York Times bestseller, White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo, has been accused

00:17:43.740 of plagiarizing some of her works from minority authors in her doctoral thesis.

00:17:48.520 The complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon was filed with the University of Washington,

00:17:52.400 from which DiAngelo received her Ph.D. in multicultural education.

00:17:57.540 The complaint regards her 2004 dissertation, Whiteness in Racial Dialogue, a Discourse Analysis,

00:18:04.300 which sounds like a thrilling read.

00:18:06.140 And apparently, it's a plagiarized read on top of it.

00:18:10.320 DiAngelo is accused of pulling two paragraphs from Northeastern University's Thomas Nakayama,

00:18:14.680 an Asian-American professor, and his co-author Robert Krizik.

00:18:19.040 Without proper attribution and omitting quotation marks and in-text citations,

00:18:23.320 large chunks of text from the author's work were used in DiAngelo's piece,

00:18:27.200 with words here and there splitting the sections up.

00:18:30.500 She's also accused of pulling from University of Wisconsin-Madison's Stacey Lee, 0.75

00:18:33.400 an Asian-American professor of education,

00:18:35.520 in which Lee was summarizing the work of scholar David Theo Goldberg.

00:18:38.520 Dozens of cases of passing off others' work as her own were discovered.

00:18:44.440 So this is just the latest plagiarism scandal.

00:18:46.780 And I have to say that I feel a little bit bad for Robin DiAngelo here,

00:18:51.400 because, you know, my movie's coming out in a couple of weeks.

00:18:54.100 She's a co-star in the film, and I'm sure she's really excited about that.

00:18:59.160 And this is an exciting time for all of us, all of us who worked tirelessly on this film.

00:19:03.280 So, and now for Robin DiAngelo, this exciting time is marred by this plagiarism scandal,

00:19:11.660 which is a real shame.

00:19:13.380 But the good news, here's the good news for Robin DiAngelo,

00:19:15.580 and I mean this sincerely as a, you know, just a way of,

00:19:21.180 maybe she could take some solace in this,

00:19:22.960 that I will say that when the movie comes out,

00:19:25.820 nobody will be talking about the plagiarism allegations anymore.

00:19:29.380 That will not be the humiliating thing that people will be focused on when the movie comes out,

00:19:34.220 which comes out on September 13th, by the way.

00:19:35.740 Get tickets at maracist.com.

00:19:38.360 As far as these allegations go, I will say that it's, of course, no surprise.

00:19:42.560 All of these people are plagiarizing constantly,

00:19:46.440 which is why we get these plagiarism scandals all the time.

00:19:49.760 There's just like an orgy of intellectual theft going on.

00:19:53.360 Modern left-wing scholars, quote-unquote, in general, are just plagiarizing incessantly.

00:20:02.100 And these anti-racist types, in particular, are doing it.

00:20:06.100 So, you know, this is the tip of the iceberg, of the plagiarism iceberg.

00:20:10.500 I don't know if anyone's checked, say, Ibram X. Kendi yet.

00:20:14.120 I would be shocked if there weren't multiple examples of plagiarism in his work.

00:20:18.440 I'm not accusing him.

00:20:19.180 I don't know that, to be clear.

00:20:20.380 I'm not saying that there is.

00:20:21.700 I have no idea.

00:20:22.260 I just don't know. 0.99

00:20:24.240 I am saying that he's exactly the kind of ridiculous intellectual lightweight 0.99

00:20:30.040 who has made his living in a fraudulent, made-up, you know, phony field 0.99

00:20:35.420 who would plagiarize.

00:20:38.160 But I don't know.

00:20:39.340 I just don't know.

00:20:42.180 But the truth is that, you know, you can hardly blame Robin DiAngelo for plagiarizing.

00:20:48.440 You know, throw a stone in a room full of anti-racist scholars, and I'm not saying that you should.

00:20:56.280 I'm not advocating violence here.

00:20:58.000 I mean, metaphorically.

00:20:59.480 Throw a metaphorical stone in a room full of anti-racist scholars, and you'll hit a plagiarist, most likely.

00:21:04.540 And if the stone bounced off of their 10 of their heads like a rock skipping across a pond, you'd probably hit 10 plagiarists.

00:21:11.980 And the reason is that the whole entire field is so intellectually bankrupt, just down to its core.

00:21:20.780 And that's why you get all this, because, again, you know, most areas of scholarly pursuits in modern academia

00:21:28.800 are intellectually bankrupt in this way.

00:21:32.160 It's really impossible to come up with a new idea or new insight for these people.

00:21:37.980 Because there is, in most of these areas, there is, at most, one central idea,

00:21:45.300 and every other idea just restates the central idea.

00:21:49.100 There's one central idea.

00:21:50.640 It's the only idea in the whole field.

00:21:53.240 And so if you're writing a paper, all you can really do is just, like, repeat the same idea over and over again.

00:21:57.980 So for anti-racist scholars, and I use the term scholar, of course, very loosely,

00:22:02.000 but for these types, the one single idea they have is that white people are inherently racist

00:22:09.300 and are inherently oppressors, and black people are inherently victims and are inherently oppressed. 0.96

00:22:16.300 And that is really it. 0.67

00:22:17.180 Like, that is the entirety of what they have to say.

00:22:19.700 They really don't have anything else to say but that.

00:22:21.540 That is the entire thing.

00:22:22.940 That's the entire deal.

00:22:24.140 If you were to go to school and take a PhD-level course in anti-racism, whatever,

00:22:29.800 it's just going to be that.

00:22:31.860 I mean, you could spend seven years studying and reading all the books,

00:22:34.520 and it just boils down to that.

00:22:36.180 That's it.

00:22:36.580 That's all you need to know.

00:22:37.480 And when there's really one idea, and it's such a flimsy, useless idea as that,

00:22:46.340 well, it's no surprise that there's a lot of recycling.

00:22:49.560 And they don't even know that they're doing it.

00:22:51.360 Everything they say is recycled.

00:22:53.540 And when they're recycling, are they recycling their own work?

00:22:55.920 Are they recycling someone else's?

00:22:58.220 They don't know.

00:22:58.940 Well, it's just the same thing over and over again.

00:23:01.760 So that's not really a defense of Robin DiAngelo.

00:23:04.740 But I guess all I'll say is, like, you try being in the anti-racist field for 20 years

00:23:11.680 and not plagiarize.

00:23:13.120 You can't.

00:23:13.640 It's impossible.

00:23:15.240 You just run out of stuff to say after a while.

00:23:17.460 I also wanted to talk about this.

00:23:21.540 Daily Wire has this article.

00:23:23.620 The Washington Post published an opinion column last week gushing over second gentleman Doug Emhoff,

00:23:28.360 calling him a modern-day sex symbol.

00:23:31.860 In recent days, Emhoff has been lauded by left-wing media as a new and improved modern man

00:23:36.120 who doesn't appeal to high-testosterone men.

00:23:38.660 WAPO opinion columnist Catherine Rample echoed the same in her piece,

00:23:42.840 Doug Emhoff, modern-day sex symbol.

00:23:45.180 Rample explains that Emhoff is dreamy, even topping actor Ryan Gosling,

00:23:51.360 because he's secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife's ambition over his own.

00:23:56.700 Move over, Ryan Gosling.

00:23:58.240 The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first, first gentleman, the piece reads.

00:24:05.180 Emhoff appears to be a genuine mensch with an impressive career. 0.88

00:24:07.960 He's smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions,

00:24:10.140 as is obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail,

00:24:13.360 the most important for this sexy sobriquet.

00:24:17.320 Sobriquet.

00:24:18.040 Sobriquet.

00:24:18.540 There it is.

00:24:19.420 Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife's ambitions over his own.

00:24:26.440 What a hunk, she says.

00:24:29.820 Now, and of course,

00:24:33.420 Doug Emhoff also cheated on his previous wife and conceived a child,

00:24:38.080 and nobody knows what happened to the child.

00:24:39.700 We can have some, we might guess what happened to the child.

00:24:43.360 So how does that make him a good husband?

00:24:45.380 Well, the columnist just sort of waves that away by saying,

00:24:48.940 whatever his previous marital drama, Emhoff is the working woman's ideal partner.

00:24:52.900 So yeah, just previous marital drama.

00:24:57.040 Just a little drama he was involved in.

00:24:58.780 Now, we've talked about this a few times recently.

00:25:01.580 The media is desperately trying to turn Doug Emhoff into the new masculine ideal.

00:25:07.500 And the attempts are just getting more and more desperate by, with each passing day.

00:25:12.480 To the extent that now they're claiming that not only is he this masculine manly man,

00:25:17.860 the new mold of a manly man, but he's also a sex symbol.

00:25:20.780 Doug Emhoff, who looks like and has the demeanor of, like the substitute teacher that you always

00:25:29.040 love to get in social studies in seventh grade, because he would just sit there and let you do

00:25:33.060 whatever you want.

00:25:35.080 And, you know, the kids would like yell at him and call him by his first name derisively.

00:25:39.060 And he would just sit there and not do anything.

00:25:40.880 And we're now being told that women find that sort of henpecked, meek, non-assertive, pushover

00:25:50.900 kind of vibe attractive.

00:25:53.840 And of course, that's nonsense.

00:25:56.020 And what we have to understand is that they don't believe it. 0.89

00:25:59.560 This is the self-induced brainwashing that feminists are trying to perform on themselves. 1.00

00:26:05.420 They're trying to gaslight themselves into thinking that guys like Doug Emhoff are attractive

00:26:11.240 because this is what they want.

00:26:13.640 Or rather, I should say, this is what they want to want.

00:26:16.700 They want to want a Doug Emhoff.

00:26:18.880 They want to want the Doug Emhoff type.

00:26:21.640 They want to find it attractive when a man supports his wife, quote unquote, by taking a 0.88

00:26:31.100 back seat and letting her career be the most important thing in their relationship.

00:26:36.540 They want to be swept off their feet and fall madly in love with a man who says, yes, honey,

00:26:41.300 you go out and earn the big bucks.

00:26:42.620 I'll stay home with my apron on and bake muffins.

00:26:46.600 And I'll keep the floors nicely swept for you.

00:26:51.620 And I'll make the bed for when you come home.

00:26:54.460 That's the kind of role reversal that they want to want.

00:26:59.380 And their principles, such as they are, their ideology tells them they should want it.

00:27:05.900 And they want to want the men who will go along with it.

00:27:09.160 But they don't.

00:27:09.740 They simply just don't.

00:27:11.060 Because biology wins.

00:27:13.100 Biology is undefeated.

00:27:14.560 It still is.

00:27:15.980 Undefeated.

00:27:17.540 Like millions of years and counting.

00:27:20.360 Hasn't lost one time.

00:27:21.420 It is biologically hardwired in women to desire men who are strong, assertive, capable of protecting 0.62

00:27:31.320 and providing for them.

00:27:32.700 It is much more attractive to a woman, even a feminist, though she won't admit it.

00:27:37.980 Much more attractive when a man says, no, honey, you don't need to worry about earning 0.93

00:27:41.740 enough money to support the family.

00:27:43.560 I'll go out and do that.

00:27:44.760 I'll carry the burden.

00:27:46.040 I'll provide for you.

00:27:47.800 I want to give you the life that you've always dreamed of.

00:27:50.660 That's the kind of statement that is far more attractive to every woman, whether they

00:27:56.560 admit it or not.

00:28:00.340 And a thousand out of a thousand women will find that significantly more attractive than 0.99

00:28:05.000 a man who says, I'll support your career.

00:28:06.780 You go, girl.

00:28:07.820 I'll be back home waiting for you to get home.

00:28:11.100 It's just a fact.

00:28:12.320 And we all know it.

00:28:14.240 Now, is it possible to change this wiring?

00:28:17.600 Is it possible to reprogram humanity to such an extent that women actually do desire the 1.00

00:28:24.060 Doug Emhoffs of the world?

00:28:26.320 That women will actually, you know, they actually want men who will sit in the backseat and let 1.00

00:28:32.880 them lead?

00:28:33.620 I don't know.

00:28:35.460 Maybe.

00:28:36.980 Maybe if you force the issue for generation after generation after generation after generation,

00:28:41.980 maybe if you have like 10,000 years of feminist programming to counteract 10,000 years of human 1.00

00:28:48.680 civilization working against that programming, maybe then, maybe a woman can honestly say

00:28:58.180 that she wants a Doug Emhoff, that she desires a Doug Emhoff.

00:29:02.120 Doug Emhoff will be the new heartthrob, maybe, like 10,000 years from now, if Doug Emhoff can

00:29:11.640 hold out that long.

00:29:13.660 But unfortunately, civilization itself can't hold out that long because as we talked about

00:29:16.760 yesterday, civilization won't survive for 10,000 years of feminist leadership because 1.00

00:29:24.100 feminists are incapable of actually leading. 1.00

00:29:25.860 And again, they don't really want to.

00:29:28.940 So they don't really want the leadership role.

00:29:31.420 They just want to want it.

00:29:33.160 And that's the way all this works.

00:29:35.900 All right. 0.97

00:29:36.120 Here's a, let's listen to this from Cory Booker calling on Americans to kill what he calls the

00:29:43.320 MAGA strain of the Republican Party. 0.61

00:29:45.760 Listen.

00:29:47.360 I mean, she's the incumbent vice president. 0.99

00:29:49.680 Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years.

00:29:52.580 How can Democrats talk about a new chapter turning the page? 0.76

00:29:56.000 You guys are the ones writing the book.

00:29:59.880 Well, you know that that's not true, Jay, because you know politics like I do.

00:30:03.480 Right now, we see the MAGA Republicans in Congress killing all kind of pragmatic policies 0.51

00:30:10.080 that we need to get done.

00:30:11.660 On the most contentious issue, we had a bipartisan deal argued by, excuse me, settled on by Senator

00:30:18.300 Lankford, a right-wing Republican, and Chris Murphy, a blue state Democrat.

00:30:23.340 And what killed that deal?

00:30:24.720 What killed the pragmatic progress?

00:30:26.940 It wasn't the sensible Republicans, but really people that were kowtowing to Donald Trump.

00:30:32.460 His influence is egregious and incredible.

00:30:35.860 From his appointment of three people to the Supreme Court that are now rolling back the most

00:30:41.160 fundamental of our rights and freedoms, like bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.

00:30:46.740 So to say that the MAGA Republicans are not still undermining common sense, pragmatic,

00:30:53.260 sensible politics is just wrong.

00:30:55.260 And what I know this election can do is finally kill that strain of the Republican Party

00:31:00.820 in a way that I think helps the pragmatic Republicans come back.

00:31:06.140 I'm one big believer.

00:31:07.820 We get a lot more bipartisan work done than people realize.

00:31:11.160 Now, most people seem to be focused on the violent language here.

00:31:16.780 He talks about killing off the MAGA strain of the party, which is really violent two times 0.94

00:31:21.600 over, because first, he wants to kill it off. 0.98

00:31:24.160 And second, he's referring to human beings like a virus.

00:31:28.120 And needless to say, if a conservative said this about the left or any group on the left,

00:31:31.300 they would be excoriated for it.

00:31:32.960 But the thing that annoys me the most about this statement from Cory Booker is not that he

00:31:38.020 wants to kill off MAGA.

00:31:39.540 I already knew that.

00:31:41.060 And I know that he would do it literally if he could.

00:31:42.980 Like, he'd like to see it literally happen.

00:31:45.240 No question about it.

00:31:45.980 But the more frustrating thing is the reason he gives for wanting to conduct this extermination.

00:31:54.840 He wants to restore the old Republican Party.

00:31:58.420 Right?

00:31:58.540 He wants to put the sensible, the pragmatic Republicans back in charge, he says.

00:32:04.840 And you hear this kind of thing from Democrats a lot these days, this fond reminiscing over

00:32:10.720 the Republican Party of 15 years ago, the nostalgia for the Republican Party controlled by the Bush

00:32:16.240 family and Dick Cheney and Mitt Romney and those types, McCain and so on.

00:32:23.500 But, you know, I'm old enough to remember what it was like during those years.

00:32:27.520 And I remember quite vividly that the Democrats back then did not celebrate Republicans for being

00:32:33.120 sensible and reasonable.

00:32:34.440 It will shock you to learn if you're younger than me.

00:32:38.920 Despite all the nostalgia that we hear from Democrats, I remember how Republicans, there was so much,

00:32:43.720 we got along back before Trump came.

00:32:46.400 No.

00:32:47.660 Okay?

00:32:48.040 They didn't look at Republicans back then and say, oh, well, these are the good, I respect,

00:32:51.880 these are honest, intelligent people and they're sensible and, you know, we might disagree, but they're good people

00:32:57.860 and, hey, we can work together and everything's fine.

00:33:01.260 That was not the case.

00:33:02.760 No. 1.00

00:33:03.080 They accused those Republicans of being genocidal, bigoted, racist, sexist, homophobic despots. 0.99

00:33:09.400 Okay? 0.97

00:33:09.540 They said all the same stuff about those Republicans that they say about MAGA, that they say about Trump.

00:33:14.900 Now, they may have said it slightly less passionately and with slightly less emphasis.

00:33:21.880 They may have been slightly less vigorous in their slander of Republicans back then, maybe.

00:33:29.240 But, and I'm not even sure if that's true, but they said all the same stuff.

00:33:35.060 Now, there are things they're doing to Trump that they didn't do, so they are certainly more desperate now.

00:33:40.860 The lawfare, the criminal cases, multiple impeachments.

00:33:45.180 They talked about doing all that stuff to Bush, to, you know, pretty much every prominent Republican politician,

00:33:51.460 especially presidents and presidential candidates, but they didn't actually do it.

00:33:55.180 So, yes, they have ramped things up considerably, but the basic, I mean, we should be clear about this,

00:34:01.360 that the basic rhetoric is the same.

00:34:03.900 It's the same stuff.

00:34:04.920 They've been saying this forever.

00:34:06.140 And now they want to convince us that, because really it's a way of trying to, it's a sleight of hand trick with conservatives and people on the right

00:34:20.840 where they're basically saying, hey, get rid of Trump, get rid of the MAGA, don't vote for him this time, let him lose and fade off into obscurity.

00:34:31.340 And then if you do that, then everything will be fine, because then it'll be the good Republicans in control, and we like them,

00:34:38.740 and we'll like each other again, and we won't do anything to hurt you guys.

00:34:44.660 You can trust us.

00:34:46.020 That's kind of what they're telling.

00:34:46.980 That's what they're trying to convince conservatives.

00:34:48.460 But, you know, I shouldn't have to tell you, don't buy it.

00:34:52.580 Because one way or another, right, Trump is, he's running for, if he wins, it's his last term.

00:34:59.200 He's, by the end of this next term, whether it's his term or Kamala's, God forbid, he'll be 82 years old.

00:35:07.380 So, one way or another, Trump, in the next several years, the Republican Party, politically, is going to move on from Trump,

00:35:19.200 just because of the realities of term limits and also aging.

00:35:22.840 It's just, you know, it's going to happen.

00:35:26.000 And I can guarantee you that whatever happens next, and I don't know exactly what's going to happen next,

00:35:33.700 or who kind of seizes the mantle of the Republican Party after Trump,

00:35:40.200 but whoever that person is, like whoever it is, is immediately demonized to the nth degree.

00:35:48.120 Okay?

00:35:48.420 I mean, of course, that's the way it's going to work.

00:35:50.420 One last thing I want to, I guess, talk about here briefly.

00:35:59.180 There's been, and we talked about this yesterday, so I just, yet again, being a broken record, I guess,

00:36:04.680 but there's been a lot of controversy and, I guess, metaphorical right-on-right violence over pro-life issues as of late,

00:36:17.660 especially over the past week.

00:36:20.240 And just the last few days, Trump came out and said that his administration would be great for reproductive rights, so-called.

00:36:25.660 We talked about that yesterday at length.

00:36:26.880 Also, J.D. Vance said that the administration would not support a federal abortion ban,

00:36:32.860 which is something we've heard before from Trump.

00:36:34.940 So that was, I don't think, was any great surprise.

00:36:37.540 But those two things have happened in the last few days.

00:36:40.900 And this has led some pro-life activists to say that they can't support Trump anymore because of this position,

00:36:47.440 and they're not going to vote for him.

00:36:49.340 Meanwhile, some other conservatives are attacking those pro-lifers, calling them grifters and traitors and so on.

00:36:56.260 And so I want to wade into the middle of this and kind of get my take on the whole thing.

00:36:59.180 And I think everyone is getting a few bits sort of wrong here.

00:37:05.960 So I think the Trump camp is, as we said yesterday, is wrong for coming out and endorsing reproductive rights.

00:37:17.780 In those words, quote-unquote reproductive rights. 0.99

00:37:21.100 Again, we talked about it in detail yesterday.

00:37:23.480 I'm not going to rehash it.

00:37:24.260 You can go listen to that and hear my argument.

00:37:27.060 I think it's not just morally wrong, but also just politically counterproductive in a huge way.

00:37:31.740 It doesn't help him politically to start talking about reproductive rights for much the same reason that it wouldn't help him politically to start talking about the importance of trans rights.

00:37:40.540 The number of voters you win as a Republican talking like that is dwarfed by the voters that you demoralize.

00:37:50.880 And that's the basic point there.

00:37:53.200 On the other hand, I understand politically, I do understand politically why the Trump campaign isn't arguing for or calling for.

00:38:01.740 A national abortion ban.

00:38:04.320 Now, I would love to see a national abortion ban. 0.98

00:38:08.140 I think abortion should be banned federally.

00:38:12.120 And the argument for it is quite simple and quite incontrovertibly correct, I think, which is that abortion is a violation of human rights. 0.78

00:38:21.080 You know, laws that legalize abortion are a direct assault on human rights because they are directly removing the humanity and not recognizing the humanity of an entire group of people.

00:38:36.900 And so it is therefore a constitutional issue and therefore a federal issue and can be banned.

00:38:43.280 It can be banned for the same reason that no state in the union would be allowed to legalize slavery.

00:38:51.800 OK, it's for the same reason.

00:38:53.580 Same reason.

00:38:54.060 But I also know that it would be politically catastrophic for Trump to come out and promise to ban abortion federally.

00:39:02.440 I mean, it's political poison.

00:39:04.600 He'll lose if he takes that position.

00:39:07.240 You know, he'll it's just it's that he just will.

00:39:09.740 So it's that's I wish it wasn't the case.

00:39:12.060 I really wish it wasn't the case.

00:39:13.660 But it is.

00:39:14.300 It just is.

00:39:14.980 I mean, all of the available data, all of it, all of the evidence, all of it points to one simple conclusion, which is that Trump probably can't win if he comes out in favor of a federal abortion ban.

00:39:26.460 And if he doesn't win, Kamala does and more babies die a lot more. 1.00

00:39:31.060 A lot more.

00:39:32.240 Not to mention a lot more pro-lifers go to federal prison.

00:39:34.900 And that's part of this conversation that isn't being talked about enough.

00:39:37.220 But the the Biden administration is a has been on a crusade is on a continued crusade to not just like try to discredit pro-lifers, but to make pro-life activism illegal and to put you in jail for it.

00:39:56.180 And they're doing it now.

00:39:58.540 Now, so this is for me, this kind of dynamic, the nuance here is it's not very hard to grasp or to admit that there are plenty of positions that I hold that I don't expect a candidate for national office to come out for while they're running for office.

00:40:16.860 You know, I also think just to give another example, I think that all so-called, quote unquote, gender affirming procedures should be banned.

00:40:25.720 And I mean, for children and adults.

00:40:27.600 That's what I think should happen.

00:40:29.220 I think they should I think they should be banned federally.

00:40:31.240 I think there should be a federal ban on all of these kinds of procedures, whether surgical or or, you know, using drugs or anything like it.

00:40:43.260 But I don't think it'd be politically wise for Trump to go that far right now.

00:40:49.460 At this point.

00:40:50.500 I think that calling for a ban on procedures on children.

00:40:57.140 You can call for that and should Trump has called for that.

00:41:00.840 Only he put the stipulation of that this will not be allowed.

00:41:04.380 You can't do this to children without parental consent.

00:41:06.160 Then I would take out the without parental consent part of it and say you can't do it to children, period, whether the parents consent or not.

00:41:13.780 So but that that you can do like that's a good starting point.

00:41:16.900 And let's protect the kids first.

00:41:19.880 For me, it's not nearly enough.

00:41:21.200 But it's a good starting point.

00:41:24.800 It's a political winner.

00:41:26.100 You can win on that and you got to win.

00:41:28.520 You have to win or nothing else matters.

00:41:31.180 But probably if he came out and said, you know, I would ban it for everybody.

00:41:34.760 That would be pretty politically disastrous.

00:41:36.980 I'd agree with it.

00:41:38.260 I mean, I would argue passionately for it if he did take that position on its merits.

00:41:42.580 But it I wouldn't recommend it saying that right now because you got to win.

00:41:47.880 You have to win.

00:41:49.840 And I'm not going to demand that Trump take a position that will probably sink his campaign because that's suicide.

00:41:56.580 It's a kamikaze mission.

00:41:57.960 And what does it achieve?

00:41:59.480 Like I Kamala Harris needs to not win. 1.00

00:42:02.220 She just needs to not win. 1.00

00:42:03.660 Now, on the other hand, the pro-lifers criticizing Trump for this or even saying they won't vote for him.

00:42:16.060 These are not bad people.

00:42:18.780 You know, these are not these are not con artists.

00:42:22.480 Right.

00:42:24.300 I've I've worked with these people for years.

00:42:26.400 They've they've been on the front lines of this fight for a long time.

00:42:29.660 They care deeply about it.

00:42:30.940 The vast majority, vast, vast majority of pro-life activists.

00:42:36.020 Are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, they're not making any money or very much money as activists.

00:42:42.920 I mean, the vast majority.

00:42:46.180 Most of them.

00:42:47.720 And I've been to a lot of the fundraising dinners, by the way.

00:42:49.960 And, you know, every once in a while, there's one that's like a little bit fancier.

00:42:53.960 But most of the fundraising dinners you go to are these are held by pregnancy resource centers.

00:42:59.340 And they're in a, you know, like a holiday in conference hall and you have some buffet food and, you know, they're doing it because they need to make money.

00:43:07.660 They need to raise money for this is how they raise money to keep their operations open.

00:43:11.160 And that's most of the pro-life activists that I've ever encountered in my life.

00:43:18.980 This is not like, let's say, LGBT activism, where there are countless multimillion dollar, quote unquote, non-profits paying out tons of six-figure salaries, mid-six figures, high six, even seven-figure salaries in some cases.

00:43:35.600 You know, people working with Hollywood celebrities and, you know, having the backing of all these major multi-billion dollar institutions.

00:43:43.540 This is not that.

00:43:44.740 This is, that is not the reality of pro-life work.

00:43:47.800 It just isn't.

00:43:48.660 So, if you care, and I can't, you know, speak to the hearts and minds and motivations of every single pro-lifer out there, but I can't look inside their hearts.

00:43:58.660 But I do know that, you know, if you're mainly interested in making money, don't get into pro-life work.

00:44:06.840 There's other, there's much better ways to do it.

00:44:08.520 In fact, even on the right, like if you're, if you're a totally dishonest person and you say, you know what, I want to, I want to exploit activism to make money for myself.

00:44:17.320 And I want to do it on the conservative side.

00:44:20.560 Well, pretty much any other vein of conservative activism, there will be more profit potential than with pro-lifers, with pro-life work.

00:44:30.480 So, I don't, the, the demonizing of these people is not right.

00:44:43.480 And, but that brings me to my last, on the other hand, which is that, on the other hand, even though I believe that the pro-lifers pledging not to vote for Trump have arrived at that conclusion honestly.

00:44:53.460 I think that this is an honest conclusion of theirs.

00:44:55.700 I think, I think they, they are saying that because they think it's the right thing to say.

00:44:58.960 But I also think they're wrong.

00:45:00.480 I think they're very wrong.

00:45:03.580 Very, very wrong.

00:45:05.040 I disagree with the position.

00:45:08.060 Very much so.

00:45:09.460 Because, again, we have to deal in reality.

00:45:13.120 You have to.

00:45:14.280 You have no choice.

00:45:15.620 And there are many aspects of this reality that I wish I could change, that I wish were not real.

00:45:20.780 There are many things about reality that I don't like.

00:45:26.260 And, and yet they are real.

00:45:28.940 Right?

00:45:29.380 I mean, there's, I wish cancer wasn't real.

00:45:31.940 I wish that wasn't a real thing.

00:45:32.900 I wish it wasn't something I had to worry about.

00:45:34.800 You know?

00:45:35.280 I wish I didn't have to, like, wear my seatbelt when I go down the highway because I wish car accidents never happened.

00:45:39.400 I wish they didn't happen.

00:45:40.580 I really wish they didn't happen.

00:45:41.720 I, I, I, but I put my seatbelt on not because, I'm not, like, cooperating with the evil of, of traffic accidents.

00:45:47.640 I'm not causing it.

00:45:48.860 I'm not saying I like it.

00:45:50.000 It's, I'm just acknowledging that it's a thing.

00:45:52.320 And I have to take that into account.

00:45:55.000 Now, one of the aspects of reality that I wish was not the case is I wish the Republican nominee for president had not come out for, quote, unquote, reproductive rights, using those words verbatim.

00:46:07.740 I wish he hadn't done that.

00:46:10.160 I wish that wasn't the case.

00:46:11.300 I wish it hadn't happened.

00:46:14.620 I, I think it was a bad move.

00:46:17.920 But it happened.

00:46:19.460 And we are still left with two choices.

00:46:22.580 Only two.

00:46:24.640 There are no others.

00:46:27.260 There are no others.

00:46:29.320 Trump or Kamala.

00:46:30.900 Kamala is rabidly pro-abortion.

00:46:33.680 She will expand abortion access in every possible way that she can.

00:46:40.160 And, again, she will continue to continue and ramp up Biden's war on pro-lifers and on conservative activists in general, but in particular pro-lifers.

00:46:51.900 That's what will happen.

00:46:53.800 It will happen.

00:46:54.580 It's not maybe.

00:46:55.700 It's not, well, we'll see.

00:46:56.880 It's, it will happen.

00:47:00.460 Trump will not prosecute pro-lifers.

00:47:03.680 I don't care how Trump critical you are on the right.

00:47:05.880 You know, he's not going to start going out.

00:47:07.140 He's not going to start to send the federal government after pro-lifers.

00:47:09.120 That's not going to happen.

00:47:12.300 And he's not going to look for ways to expand, quote, unquote, abortion access.

00:47:17.300 He's not going to do that.

00:47:19.640 At, at worst, things will stay kind of as they are right now.

00:47:24.840 At worst.

00:47:25.520 He's not going to actively work to advance a pro-abortion agenda.

00:47:31.760 I don't care what he says right now.

00:47:33.320 He's not going to do that.

00:47:35.220 He didn't do that in his first term, obviously.

00:47:38.220 I mean, as we all know, he gave us the judges that overturned Roe.

00:47:40.380 And he'd have even less incentive to do that in the second term.

00:47:46.320 Kamala will. 1.00

00:47:47.440 So, like, it's an easy choice.

00:47:48.760 And there are other issues besides abortion.

00:47:51.640 And on every other issue, on every other issue, on every single one, Kamala is way worse than Trump. 1.00

00:48:00.280 Even on the issues where I don't, you know, I don't like where Trump has landed.

00:48:04.520 And most of the time, if I don't like where Trump's landed, it's because he's too far to the left.

00:48:07.740 I'd like for him to be farther to the right.

00:48:09.460 But, but even on those issues, all of them, Kamala is not just, like, a little bit worse or, you know, significantly, vastly, like a Grand Canyon level of difference, okay, that much worse.

00:48:27.000 So, it's an easy choice.

00:48:28.760 Like, it's just an easy choice.

00:48:30.400 So, I don't, even though I, as I said, the pro-lifers who are taking this position, I know these people, I think they're honest people, I think they're good people.

00:48:40.060 But I have to confess, I don't, I don't really understand the argument.

00:48:45.760 Like, what, okay, you're not going to vote for Trump, but then it will be Kamala.

00:48:50.840 And that's worse, don't you?

00:48:53.160 Of course that's worse.

00:48:54.200 So, if you're a pro-lifer and you're thinking of staying home, look, I understand being frustrated.

00:49:04.380 I mean, I saw that reproductive rights thing, and I'm like, I, I, frustrated is an understatement. 0.90

00:49:11.120 But, you're making a huge mistake, and we need to save as many babies as we can.

00:49:20.960 You know, the sad, the very, very sad fact is that we can't save them all right now.

00:49:26.540 And there's no immediate future where that happens.

00:49:31.420 I don't care who's in, who wins.

00:49:33.480 I mean, you could have, we could be in an alternate reality where some pro-life, you know, activist warrior is the Republican nominee and wins.

00:49:45.360 Because, still, you're not going to, that doesn't mean that the next day there's no more abortions, obviously.

00:49:54.340 So, there are a lot of babies dying, and a lot of them, and we can't save them all, politically, or in any other way.

00:50:03.580 We can't.

00:50:06.620 We have to save as many as we can.

00:50:08.740 We have to make the choices that will protect as many of these children as we possibly can.

00:50:15.360 We do everything we can to advance the pro-life agenda as far as we can, within the parameters that reality has set for us.

00:50:26.200 Not the parameters of political correctness or anything like that, but just the parameters of reality.

00:50:32.360 Because reality is where the babies are dying.

00:50:35.960 And that's where we have to save them.

00:50:37.400 And that means a lot of things need to be done, but in November, it starts with voting for Trump.

00:50:46.260 You've got to vote for Trump.

00:50:49.320 Really is an easy choice, or it should be.

00:50:52.180 Let's talk about something that really matters.

00:50:54.620 Being a real man in a world that's trying to destroy masculinity.

00:50:57.580 The radical left wants you to believe that being a man is somehow wrong, that we should all be weak, passive, and androgynous.

00:51:02.400 But here's the truth.

00:51:04.060 Society needs strong men now more than ever.

00:51:07.020 And that is where Responsible Man comes in.

00:52:32.920 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:34.100 If you work at Boeing, it's been a pretty demoralizing two decades or so.

00:52:44.480 First, there was all the outsourcing to cut costs following the company's move to Chicago.

00:52:49.920 And then two of the company's brand new MAX aircraft plummeted from the sky,

00:52:53.940 killing hundreds of people because the plane's state-of-the-art safety software put them in a nosedive.

00:52:58.920 And then a door blew off one of the company's passenger planes mid-flight over Portland,

00:53:04.080 apparently because Boeing factory workers shipped the thing without installing four very important bolts,

00:53:09.020 though I imagine every bolt on an airplane is very important.

00:53:12.340 And that triggered a criminal investigation and led to the grounding in more than 100 aircraft.

00:53:15.980 And then two planes, a Boeing 757 and a Boeing 777,

00:53:20.240 lost a tire and a wheel on takeoff, respectively, and all of it was caught on video.

00:53:24.220 Now, amid all these disasters, employees at Boeing could console themselves with one fact,

00:53:29.200 which is that commercial airplanes aren't the only product lines that Boeing develops.

00:53:33.760 The company has what's known as a diversified portfolio.

00:53:36.700 And a big part of that portfolio is their space division.

00:53:39.600 In particular, more than a decade ago, after NASA retired its space shuttles,

00:53:43.320 Boeing partnered with NASA to build space capsules and other equipment

00:53:46.680 to transport astronauts into low-Earth orbit.

00:53:49.420 And a part of Boeing's business, the part where they work with NASA instead of commercial aviation companies,

00:53:56.320 has been relatively humiliation and disaster-free, all things considered.

00:54:00.780 Or at least, it's been relatively humiliation and disaster-free until now.

00:54:06.400 In a story that's not getting anywhere near as much attention as it should,

00:54:10.100 Boeing's Starliner capsule began to malfunction as it approached the International Space Station in early June.

00:54:15.100 And five of the Starliner's thrusters stopped working, which is a big deal when you only have 28 thrusters in total.

00:54:20.600 It's about 20% of your thrust.

00:54:23.100 If you do some kind of back-of-the-envelope math on that, that's what you find.

00:54:27.780 In response, ground controllers did what you do when your computer starts acting strangely.

00:54:32.100 They shut the thrusters down and they rebooted them.

00:54:35.060 Four of the thrusters ultimately came back online,

00:54:37.740 but NASA was never entirely sure what had gone wrong.

00:54:40.820 And the thrusters weren't the only major malfunction.

00:54:43.120 The propulsion system also suffered five helium leaks,

00:54:47.740 including a large one that was leaking 395 PSI per minute.

00:54:52.780 Now, throughout all of this,

00:54:54.560 Boeing insisted that the Starliner was safe enough to bring the two astronauts back home.

00:54:59.780 They said that everybody was confident in the Starliner spacecraft

00:55:02.580 and its ability to return safely with crew, quote, unquote.

00:55:06.500 But there were a lot of reasons to doubt Boeing's claims.

00:55:09.200 For one thing, the Starliner has had a lot of issues ever since it was first unveiled.

00:55:13.120 In 2019, during its first test flight, the Washington Post reports that, quote,

00:55:17.900 the Starliner's onboard computer system was 11 hours off and started executing commands

00:55:21.740 for an entirely different part of the mission, which burned precious fuel.

00:55:25.860 Programmers were able to send commands to the spacecraft, fixing the problem,

00:55:29.040 but the spacecraft never docked with the station.

00:55:31.720 And then in a 2022 test flight, Starliner, quote,

00:55:34.320 had some problems with its thrusters on that flight.

00:55:36.680 Now, these setbacks have contributed to the financial cost of the Starliner program at Boeing,

00:55:41.820 which is roughly $1.6 billion over budget.

00:55:46.260 But supposedly, it was all worth it because the capsule would perform

00:55:49.400 well when it counted in its final test flight this summer.

00:55:53.780 And that's what Boeing had suggested to NASA.

00:55:55.820 They've ironed out all the issues, all the kinks with the thrusters and the computer,

00:55:59.340 everything else, and it'll work fine.

00:56:00.640 Well, now that it's clear to the entire world that Boeing was wrong,

00:56:04.340 NASA has just made the decision to essentially fire the company.

00:56:07.720 Instead of using Boeing's Starliner to bring the two astronauts back home,

00:56:10.640 NASA will instead use SpaceX's Dragon capsule to do the job.

00:56:14.840 Taken together, all of these mishaps mean that instead of spending eight days in space,

00:56:19.360 these astronauts will be up there until at least February of next year,

00:56:23.760 when SpaceX can come and get them.

00:56:26.460 Now, SpaceX, of course, is the company that was founded by Elon Musk,

00:56:29.580 who the Biden administration has been going out of its way to demonize

00:56:32.720 and investigate at every available opportunity.

00:56:35.800 But now the Biden administration needs Elon Musk to come to the rescue

00:56:40.200 and avert an international catastrophe,

00:56:42.960 which is why they're turning to his company for help.

00:56:45.860 This amounts to yet another extraordinary humiliation for Boeing,

00:56:49.820 a company that's had no shortage of humiliations in recent years.

00:56:54.280 But what's happening at Boeing is a familiar story in corporate America.

00:56:57.700 Even if the company's collapse is a bit more visible than most.

00:57:02.140 Boeing became extremely powerful and dominated the market after a merger.

00:57:05.760 It began receiving nearly half its revenue in government contracts,

00:57:09.200 making it a de facto state enterprise, basically.

00:57:12.460 And the usual corruption and largesse followed.

00:57:16.660 Executives became wealthy, far wealthier than their more competent counterparts

00:57:21.340 at its competitor Airbus, which is headquartered in France.

00:57:24.600 Meanwhile, Boeing's product became inferior and ultimately dangerous.

00:57:28.560 And the government regulators who were supposed to enforce basic safety standards,

00:57:31.720 like the Federal Aviation Administration, looked the other way.

00:57:35.560 In fact, in the case of the Boeing MAX aircraft,

00:57:37.780 the FAA outsourced a lot of its supervisory role to Boeing.

00:57:41.180 They put Boeing in charge of certifying the safety of their own aircraft

00:57:44.600 and their own software.

00:57:46.400 And, well, we all know how that turned out.

00:57:48.760 Now, in the case of the Starliner, it was the job of another federal agency, NASA,

00:57:54.400 to supervise Boeing, at least to some extent.

00:57:57.360 And they've done a very poor job of that up to this point,

00:57:59.960 as everybody can now clearly tell.

00:58:02.300 And that raises an obvious question, which is, what's going on at NASA?

00:58:06.660 How exactly have they gone from a space agency that landed men on the moon

00:58:10.240 to a bureaucracy that can't even oversee a company like Boeing

00:58:13.380 to ensure that its space capsule won't break down with two astronauts on board?

00:58:20.060 Well, Tenant Media tamed this window into the culture at NASA. 0.74

00:58:24.300 And I think it helps give us some explanation,

00:58:27.480 some insight into what's happening right now.

00:58:30.420 Watch.

00:58:30.940 And in doing this work of examining my own intentions

00:58:34.640 and my own actions and their impact,

00:58:36.600 I can see that there's so much more that I could have done

00:58:39.360 to make the projects I've led equally welcoming to Black, Indigenous,

00:58:43.820 and people of color as the white people they have engaged.

00:58:47.100 I feel a lot of shame and regret about that.

00:58:50.700 And I know that without looking head on at what I've done and not done,

00:58:54.500 I won't be able to do better.

00:58:55.980 So I'm looking forward to today's event and to this whole series

00:58:59.400 as steps in my personal and professional journey

00:59:01.880 to make my work more anti-racist

00:59:04.460 and therefore more effective in reaching my aspiration.

00:59:07.220 And this may be a review for many of you,

00:59:09.620 but these are those different characteristics

00:59:12.100 that you probably see coming up a lot in our workspaces,

00:59:16.860 especially in the practice of science.

00:59:19.800 Perfectionism, a sense of urgency.

00:59:21.760 I'm sure all of us are feeling a sense of urgency

00:59:23.580 about some of the deadlines that we maybe have right now.

00:59:27.440 The idea of power hoarding,

00:59:29.500 the idea of individualism over collectivism,

00:59:35.060 quantity over quality,

00:59:36.560 either or thinking.

00:59:38.440 And so all of these things can really limit the way

00:59:42.380 we go about doing our work

00:59:44.360 and they can really limit the way

00:59:45.780 we are able to connect with communities

00:59:47.840 that come from different cultural backgrounds

00:59:50.100 that don't value these things

00:59:51.640 the same way that white supremacy culture values them.

00:59:55.560 Ah, yes.

00:59:56.380 Objectivity is a part of white supremacy culture. 0.97

01:00:00.020 Only white people are capable of being objective, 1.00

01:00:02.120 apparently, is what we're told. 0.94

01:00:04.060 Now, according to NASA, 0.94

01:00:05.840 all of their employees should be ashamed of being white. 0.59

01:00:09.140 Engaging in either or thinking makes you a bigot. 0.93

01:00:12.420 So does perfectionism,

01:00:14.140 being objective,

01:00:16.040 having a sense of urgency.

01:00:18.800 So like doing things on time

01:00:20.700 and trying to do them well

01:00:22.660 and holding yourself to a standard,

01:00:24.940 you know, an objective standard.

01:00:25.780 Those are all under white supremacy culture on this slide.

01:00:30.660 So it makes you wonder

01:00:31.520 what kind of conversations were happening at NASA

01:00:33.340 ahead of this latest mission.

01:00:35.200 You should obviously want NASA engineers

01:00:36.760 to be perfectionists

01:00:37.780 when you're talking about guiding a space capsule

01:00:40.680 to dock with a space station.

01:00:42.600 You want them to think

01:00:43.700 either this will work or people will die.

01:00:46.720 You want them to care about objectivity,

01:00:48.940 you know, and not their feelings.

01:00:51.420 And that's how the old NASA was.

01:00:54.300 And that's how they were able to land men on the moon

01:00:56.860 with computers that are infinitely less powerful

01:00:58.860 than your cell phone today.

01:01:01.000 And now with far more technology at their disposal,

01:01:03.080 NASA is running DEI seminars instead.

01:01:05.220 They're celebrating failure and mediocrity.

01:01:08.460 As incredible as that footage is,

01:01:10.180 it would be, you know,

01:01:11.380 premature to chalk this debacle up exclusively to DEI.

01:01:15.820 The truth is we don't know exactly

01:01:17.160 who was behind this failed operation

01:01:19.440 or why they were selected,

01:01:20.660 but we don't have to know any of those things

01:01:22.560 to make a simple and straightforward point,

01:01:24.140 which is that NASA's commitment to diversity and equity

01:01:26.660 should be shut down immediately.

01:01:29.920 It's probably distracting from their mission.

01:01:32.100 It's humiliating.

01:01:32.840 And most importantly, it makes no sense.

01:01:34.940 DEI is a completely insane thing to prioritize

01:01:37.280 at any point,

01:01:39.540 but especially when you're going into space.

01:01:42.060 That's what NASA's doing. 0.79

01:01:43.820 NASA's already said that with their new Artemis mission,

01:01:46.520 they will, quote, land the first woman

01:01:48.180 and first person of color on the moon.

01:01:51.200 Now, what they never get around to explaining

01:01:52.720 is, like, why are they doing that?

01:01:55.320 Why should anyone care about the skin color and gender 1.00

01:01:57.780 of the next people to step foot on the moon exactly?

01:02:00.840 As far as I could tell on their website

01:02:02.060 announcing the Artemis mission,

01:02:03.860 NASA doesn't say anything about these people

01:02:05.380 other than that they'll be a woman 0.84

01:02:07.560 and a person of color.

01:02:09.040 They're as dehumanized as possible,

01:02:10.600 and we're supposed to think

01:02:11.680 that that's somehow inspiring.

01:02:12.740 With Krista McAuliffe,

01:02:15.400 who died in the Challenger explosion,

01:02:16.980 the idea was that she was a teacher

01:02:18.280 so she could connect with students

01:02:19.660 and get them interested in space,

01:02:22.100 and that was at least, you know,

01:02:23.580 something of a justification.

01:02:24.760 But now we don't even get that.

01:02:26.980 Now all NASA will say

01:02:28.100 is that a woman and a person of color 0.99

01:02:29.620 will be on board the next trip to the moon.

01:02:32.340 Are you inspired yet?

01:02:34.800 Now, in the old days,

01:02:35.640 NASA was an agency run and operated

01:02:37.440 and staffed by men.

01:02:39.020 I mean, they were almost entirely men.

01:02:40.540 Not completely, but almost entirely.

01:02:43.300 And they were men who were serious,

01:02:45.940 highly skilled, highly intelligent.

01:02:48.240 Not to mention had balls of steel.

01:02:50.560 And those are the kinds of people you need

01:02:52.220 if you're venturing up into the infinite

01:02:53.940 and pitiless vacuum of space. 0.89

01:02:57.140 I mean, if there's any place

01:02:58.320 where diversity does not matter in the slightest,

01:03:00.980 if there's any place where merit

01:03:02.420 and merit alone should count,

01:03:04.140 it is in space,

01:03:05.300 which is an environment so merciless

01:03:07.740 and so hostile and so dangerous

01:03:09.560 that humans cannot survive in it

01:03:12.240 for one second

01:03:13.320 without an entire network

01:03:14.820 of highly advanced technology

01:03:16.200 all working together perfectly.

01:03:19.860 So when I was reading, you know,

01:03:21.240 this story

01:03:21.780 and all the stuff about DEI at NASA,

01:03:24.380 I was reminded of the tagline

01:03:26.180 for the first Alien movie,

01:03:28.120 which was,

01:03:28.640 in space,

01:03:29.440 no one can hear you scream.

01:03:31.680 And something similar applies here.

01:03:33.360 As much as NASA desperately wants

01:03:34.800 to pretend otherwise,

01:03:36.000 no matter how many diversity Zoom calls

01:03:38.300 they conduct

01:03:38.880 and no matter how much

01:03:39.680 they complain about

01:03:40.700 white supremacy culture,

01:03:42.420 there is one unavoidable fact 0.59

01:03:44.420 that NASA cannot escape.

01:03:46.360 And that fact is this.

01:03:48.460 In space,

01:03:49.880 no one gives a damn

01:03:50.980 about your diversity.

01:03:51.980 And that is why NASA,

01:03:54.700 for their incompetent oversight

01:03:55.800 of Boeing

01:03:56.240 and their pointless commitment

01:03:57.400 to bringing DEI to the moon,

01:03:59.440 is today canceled.

01:04:02.600 That'll do it for the show today.

01:04:03.340 Thanks for watching.

01:04:03.840 Thanks for listening.

01:04:04.420 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:04:06.120 Have a great day.

01:04:06.760 Godspeed.

01:04:07.080 Republicans or Nazis, 0.56

01:04:15.580 you cannot separate yourselves 1.00

01:04:17.380 from the bad white people. 0.99

01:04:19.200 Growing up, 0.98

01:04:19.700 I never thought much about race.

01:04:21.120 Never really seemed to matter that much.

01:04:22.960 At least not to me.

01:04:23.780 Am I racist?

01:04:24.960 I would really appreciate it

01:04:25.940 if you love.

01:04:26.240 I'm trying to learn.

01:04:26.960 I'm on this journey.

01:04:28.220 If I'm going to sort this out,

01:04:29.260 I need to go deeper undercover.

01:04:32.500 They don't say I'm racist.

01:04:34.000 Joining us now is Matt,

01:04:35.160 certified DEI expert.

01:04:37.460 Here's my certifications.

01:04:38.580 What you're doing

01:04:39.040 is you're stretching

01:04:39.720 out of your whiteness.

01:04:41.320 This is more for you

01:04:41.880 than this for you.

01:04:42.320 Is America inherently racist?

01:04:43.880 The word inherent

01:04:44.820 is challenging there.

01:04:45.840 I want to rename

01:04:46.360 the George Washington Monument

01:04:47.380 to the George Floyd Monument. 0.98

01:04:48.980 America is racist to its bones. 0.63

01:04:50.860 So inherently. 0.98

01:04:51.720 Yeah.

01:04:52.140 This country is a piece of...

01:04:53.460 Oh, my God. 0.99

01:04:54.780 White folks. 1.00

01:04:55.860 Trash. 1.00

01:04:56.360 White supremacy. 1.00

01:04:57.140 White woman. 1.00

01:04:57.720 White boy.

01:04:58.240 Is there a black person around here?

01:04:59.560 What's a black person right here? 0.86

01:05:00.880 Does he not exist?

01:05:03.700 Hi, Robin.

01:05:04.220 Hi.

01:05:04.540 What's your name?

01:05:05.500 I'm Matt.

01:05:06.000 I just had to ask who you are

01:05:07.040 because you have to be careful.

01:05:08.620 Never be too careful.

01:05:09.500 They gonna say you racist!
