00:09:03.000And apparently, he also lied to his employers about this situation, so he deserves to be fired just for that alone.
00:09:10.080And because I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy, and I admit that I'm old-fashioned, I do believe in chivalry.
00:09:17.640And I believe that women are the physically weaker, fairer sex, and therefore, we as men should never use our strength against them, except in maybe some extreme cases of self-defense.
00:09:29.820So I, which this was not self-defense at all.
00:09:34.000He was not fearing for his life or his physical safety because of this 19-year-old drunk woman.
00:09:41.160So, I ascribe to the maxim that a man should never hit a woman.
00:09:47.800I do not ascribe to the maxim that all women are helpless, innocent flowers.
00:12:12.620But that isn't what the modern enlightened feminist says in this case.
00:12:17.720All of a sudden, they rediscover chivalry.
00:12:21.160And they say that the worst thing in the world that a man can do is hit a woman.
00:12:26.960You should never hit a woman, they say.
00:12:30.500The problem is they make that statement and they don't follow it through.
00:12:34.800They don't accept the full implications of that statement.
00:12:38.960Like I said, I have no problem with the idea that a man should never hit a woman.
00:12:44.020As long as we allow for certain qualifications.
00:12:46.460So, maybe I do have a problem with that idea, actually.
00:12:50.620To just say, blanket statement, a man should never hit a woman, that's obviously absurd.
00:12:57.080There could be legitimate cases of self-defense.
00:12:59.380A man has every right to assert himself physically in an effort to defend himself if he's actually being attacked and really needs to defend himself.
00:13:07.440But aside from that, yeah, a man should not hit a woman.
00:13:10.000I believe in that maxim and I believe in the truth that underlies the maxim.
00:13:16.740And that truth is this, that the sexes are not equal.
00:13:28.240Men are more aggressive, are more physical than women.
00:13:31.700The whole point of chivalry is to recognize that fact and then to say to men, okay, you have this strength, you have this aggression, you have this physicality, more so than women do.
00:13:47.420And so, you should use it in service to those who are weaker to protect them, not to dominate them or intimidate them.
00:13:55.760And that's why people don't like chivalry these days, because chivalry begins with an acknowledgement of the inequality of the sexes.
00:14:10.880Yet they still say, or they'll still treat a man hitting a woman as much, much, much worse than a man hitting a man.
00:14:22.120And again, they can't claim that, well, no, it's just because this particular woman happens to be smaller and weaker than that particular man.
00:14:31.040And so, that's why we're so upset about it.
00:14:33.160No, that's not why they're upset, because NFL players get into fights with weaker men all the time.
00:14:38.420Most men in the world are going to be weaker than NFL players.
00:14:43.520These are some of the most, you know, these are going to be some of the strongest and biggest guys around.
00:14:47.940So, and you hear about NFL players getting into fights at bars and stuff like that all the time.
00:14:54.800Nobody goes and looks at the security footage and says, wow, that man seems a lot smaller than an NFL player and gets really upset about it.
00:15:31.440Do we expect them to recognize the inequality in each other and to respond accordingly?
00:15:39.700In other words, here's really the question that you have to ask yourself.
00:15:42.700When a man is interacting with a woman, do you want him to treat her like a woman, to recognize the differences, to recognize that she's a woman and treat her differently because of it?
00:15:59.520Or do you want men to treat women exactly as they would treat other men?
00:16:44.200And if you're going to say, well, men should treat women like men, then you have to look at the Kareem Hunt situation, watch the video, and say, eh, okay.
00:16:53.060I mean, that's exactly what he would have done to a man.
00:16:56.480And if those were a bunch of men going at it, nobody would care.
00:17:29.660Let everyone know what your answer is, and then we can proceed accordingly.
00:17:33.260All right, something else in the news I wanted to mention briefly.
00:17:35.120President Trump has thrown his support behind a bipartisan measure called the First Step Act.
00:17:41.440And the idea with the First Step Act is to reduce the federal prison population and supposedly correct some of the injustices that the people in that system have suffered.
00:17:50.720So some of the things that the bill will do, some of it seems pretty, I don't think anyone could have a problem with it.
00:18:01.480Like, for instance, it will end the practice of shackling pregnant women as they deliver their babies.
00:18:08.080It also will make it easier to release terminally ill and elderly prisoners so they can live out the last few days or months of their lives with their families.
00:18:24.120And it will try to ensure that prisoners are placed within driving distance of their families when they're in prison.
00:18:31.360I don't see why anyone would necessarily oppose any of that.
00:18:33.920The problem, though, is that the bill intends to reduce the federal prison population by a lot more than just a small percentage of terminally ill and elderly prisoners.
00:18:47.000It wants to cut the population in half.
00:18:51.200And proponents of the bill say that it will do this by providing a path for nonviolent drug offenders and other similar offenders who are not a danger to their communities to be released.
00:19:03.540Well, that sounds OK, but let me read a bit from a Weekly Standard piece which enumerates the issues with this whole approach.
00:19:11.420It says, but if the system is too big, the First Step Act might not be the appropriate fix.
00:19:18.060In its drive to act, Congress may pass a bill that would unduly free numerous federal offenders, including many drug traffickers and some 4,000 prisoners whose early release would come without regard to their future dangerousness.
00:19:30.880This is because the federal system relative to state and local incarcerations is comparably small.
00:19:37.120Just 8% of all prisoners in the U.S. are incarcerated at the federal level, about 180,000 people total.
00:19:43.160That number has fallen year over year since 2012.
00:19:46.780Of those in the system today, about 30% are incarcerated for immigration offenses and are mostly excluded from First Step.
00:19:58.280More than 97% of those are drug traffickers.
00:20:01.980By contrast, there are only about 200 possession offenders in the federal system.
00:20:08.080The remaining 40% are charged with a mix of fairly serious crimes, 12% for firearms offenses, 12% for fraud and other white-collar crimes, about 3% for child pornography offenses, and the remaining 10% or so for a mix of mostly violent offenses.
00:20:21.600So, it seems as though there just aren't enough of the low-level drug offenders in the federal system to make this work.
00:20:31.460These efforts should be concentrated on the state level, where most of the prisoners are in general, and most of the nonviolent prisoners are there.
00:20:43.160So, I fully agree that we shouldn't really be tossing drug addicts in prison.
00:20:50.380If somebody's only crime is trying to buy heroin for themselves, then I think it's crazy to just toss those people in prison.
00:20:58.420Especially when you have so many violent people out there who I think are more deserving, and we should save the space for them.
00:21:07.520But that's not how you generally end up in federal prison.
00:21:10.840So, when you hear about this, and people are talking about it and saying, well, it's bipartisan, so it's great.
00:21:16.140First of all, general rule, you should be especially suspicious of bipartisan bills.
00:21:22.920The bipartisan ones are the ones that you should be suspicious about.
00:21:25.720And in this case, for good reason, because it's being sold.
00:21:29.120It's just, they're targeting the federal prisoners, but the types of prisoners that they're supposedly looking to free and let out and be merciful towards,
00:21:41.460there just aren't enough of those types in the federal system for this to make any sense whatsoever.
00:21:47.140So, like, with most of the serious problems in society, if it's going to be solved, it has to be solved on a more localized level.
00:22:01.780Last thing, a radio station in Cleveland, Star 102, has banned the song Baby It's Cold Outside because the song allegedly promotes date rape.
00:22:13.500Now, this is an annual tradition, of course, people getting upset about this song, because the song is, you've heard it, obviously, I assume,
00:22:23.840the song is sung by a man and a woman, and the woman spends the whole song trying to, or the man spends the whole song trying to convince the woman to spend the night at his place
00:22:35.220while she keeps saying that she's got to go.
00:22:37.260And the point that he keeps raising in the song is that it's cold outside, you know, as the title suggests.
00:22:45.280He also says that the snow is up to your knees out there, which is kind of a legitimate concern to raise, I think.
00:22:53.900He raises a few good points in the song, really.
00:22:56.220He says that the snow is up to your knees.
00:23:32.060He's trying to save her life in the song.
00:23:35.800Now, the more cynical and perhaps correct interpretation of the lyrics is that the guy just wants to be intimate with the woman, and so he's trying to convince her to stay.
00:23:49.760Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that that is really what's going on in this song.
00:23:53.460Well, I would actually, I would be fine with people saying that the song is inappropriate.
00:24:01.580I would even be fine with radio stations deciding not to play the song on their airwaves.
00:24:08.380Because if they applied that same standard and that same criticism to 90% of the pop music and the rap music out there, because 90% of it is all about men trying to have sex with women and women trying to have sex with men or some other combination of sex is going on in these songs.
00:24:29.680That's what 90% of modern music is about.
00:24:31.560I mean, 90% is a conservative estimate, but it might actually be closer to like 100%.
00:24:36.920And in most cases, the point, the sexual point is made in a way that is much cruder and much more vulgar.
00:24:48.680So, what's always interesting about stuff like this is people hear this Baby It's Cold Outside, and they say, oh, you know, that's really inappropriate.
00:25:02.580That's the kind of thing that you would expect.
00:25:05.420Like, you would expect, if someone is saying that about a song like that, you would expect that person to have a huge problem with almost all of the music on the radio, not just that one particular song.
00:25:17.080And if they do, you know, if you're someone who you hate all this music and you don't like that song because it's hypersexual in your mind, then I say, fine.
00:25:27.640You know, you're being consistent and I think maybe you're being a little overly sensitive, but that's fine.
00:25:36.680But to just single out that song while maintaining that all the rest of this stuff is perfectly acceptable, when it is even more sexually charged, it is even more aggressive, and as I said, much cruder and much more vulgar, that just doesn't make any sense.
00:25:56.260So, yet again, there is an inconsistency here.
00:26:00.780I guess that's the theme today, is just people not consistently applying whatever standard they set, they set the standard and then they refuse to consistently apply it.
00:26:10.040And I think that that's something we need to, you know, look at and make an effort.
00:26:15.860Whatever your principles are, make an effort to apply them consistently.
00:26:32.880On today's show, we talked about the death of President George H.W. Bush, the continued unfolding of Russiagate, and why the New York Times thinks the Rockettes are too white and why they're all weirdos.
