Ep. 1268 - Hero Middle-Schoolers Revolt Against LGBTQ Rituals

00:00:37.680
For years, liberals have told us we need to listen to the children.
00:00:42.080
And I've always been a little skeptical of that advice since children as a rule are ignorant and irrational.
00:00:47.980
Today, however, as our ruling class is now more ignorant and irrational still,
00:00:53.340
I'd have to say that the kids are all right, especially the kids of Marshall Simons Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts.
00:01:07.560
This type of intolerant rhetoric starts in the home.
00:01:10.200
Parents angry at town hall over intolerance at Marshall Simons Middle School.
00:01:14.820
Kids were asked to wear rainbow clothes in honor of Pride Spirit Day.
00:01:19.200
But some organized a counter-protest wearing red, white, and blue or black.
00:01:24.200
The principal sharing a statement to families that Pride posters were ripped down, stickers ripped up.
00:01:35.640
It was an unruly disruption, in fact, that was organized ahead of time.
00:01:40.460
While some parents were upset, others say it was overblown.
00:01:44.140
Some of the kids threw the stickers on the ground.
00:01:46.240
But, you know, I can only speak for my daughter.
00:01:47.920
She just, she didn't want to wear that to school.
00:01:50.260
It's not that she wanted to hurt anybody's feelings.
00:01:52.280
She says her daughter felt coerced to participate in the Pride event
00:01:55.960
and was offended by some of the messages, like this quote from Tennessee Williams.
00:02:03.760
And my daughter just kind of said, you know, Mom, that's offensive to me, who I am straight.
00:02:09.060
Yeah, that flag is offensive to all normal people.
00:02:14.840
It is a symbol of pride, the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
00:02:19.380
It obviously has no place in a middle school classroom.
00:02:22.740
And frankly, it should be banned from all public spaces because it's evil and degenerate
00:02:28.080
and signifies an ideology that is contrary to truth, goodness, beauty, and reality.
00:02:33.920
And it is an indictment of our political order that the warmed-over hippies and other deviants
00:02:40.380
running our schools need to learn that lesson from 11-year-olds.
00:02:45.920
But this pushback offers a glimmer of hope, especially because this incident did not take
00:02:56.460
It took place in Burlington, Massachusetts, 12 miles outside of Boston.
00:03:04.940
Not just the stodgy old conservatives, the youths too.
00:03:09.100
Not just the red states, but in liberal towns, in bright blue counties, in reliably Democrat
00:03:20.860
The government might be too unresponsive to the people.
00:03:25.120
But for what it's worth, today, all evidence shows that the American people are becoming
00:03:48.160
Some other great news that we'll get to in a bit, which is the transheiser bush is getting
00:03:52.420
absolutely destroyed because Bud Light sponsors transvestitism.
00:03:57.960
It's even now hurting Garth Brooks and a honky tonk in Nashville.
00:04:02.840
First, though, Americans are becoming more socially conservative.
00:04:08.440
This is not just my extrapolating from one event at a middle school in Boston and saying
00:04:13.160
that now, see, the conservative revolution is here.
00:04:15.960
However, this is even according to Gallup, Gallup polling shows that the number of Americans
00:04:21.540
who identify as socially conservative has reached the highest level since 2012.
00:04:26.260
According to Gallup's Values and Beliefs Survey, 38% of Americans identify as very conservative
00:04:32.100
or conservative, which is up from just 33% last year.
00:04:43.960
Now, this comes simultaneously as the number of Americans who identify as very liberal or liberal
00:04:48.720
has dropped down to 29% from a 34% number last year.
00:04:58.260
Is it just that the older people are becoming more socially conservative and the younger people
00:05:02.460
are becoming more socially liberal, as a lot of the ruling class of both parties would have us believe?
00:05:07.840
Social conservatism for Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 went up.
00:05:14.280
It had a 6% increase over just the last two years.
00:05:28.780
Americans over the age of 65 were the only age group that saw
00:05:36.740
So it's not just that the older people are becoming more socially conservative.
00:05:41.160
No, it's actually the boomers, the echo of that hippie era that saw the upending of so much of American culture.
00:05:51.480
They're the ones who are becoming less socially conservative,
00:05:54.960
even though they are still, as a whole, more conservative than the younger group.
00:06:02.820
They're the ones who are becoming more socially conservative because they're seeing the chaos wrought
00:06:10.540
That's why you got to restore some balance to your body and some balance of nature.
00:06:18.280
Living a healthy lifestyle is not always easy, especially when you're always on the go.
00:06:22.400
You need simple, manageable routines to make sure that you're getting the proper nutrition every day.
00:06:27.620
That's why I'm a huge fan of Balance of Nature.
00:06:29.940
Balance of Nature fruits and veggies are a great way to ensure that you're getting essential nutritional ingredients
00:06:36.460
Their capsules are packed with 100% whole food that you can take at any time.
00:06:40.820
And Balance of Nature uses a cold vacuum process that preserves the natural phytonutrients
00:06:46.480
in whole fruits and vegetables and encapsulates them for easy consumption.
00:06:50.800
Balance of Nature sent a bunch of their products down to the studio for our team to try,
00:06:55.140
and these jackals pounced on them like absolute hyenas.

00:07:17.940
Americans are as conservative today as they were back in 2012, which is fine, and it's a good start
00:07:24.460
given how much more liberal the country had become since 2012.
00:07:27.680
But if 2012 is the end point, then we might as well pack it in, guys.
00:07:33.340
I do not want America to be as socially conservative as it was in 2012.
00:07:38.520
I want our civilization to be as socially conservative as we were in 1220, okay?
00:07:54.900
At the very least, I think we ought to be as conservative as we were before all the modern
00:08:03.380
ideologies started corroding our civilization, because that's been the big problem.
00:08:09.840
The reason that a lot of people for a long time became more socially conservative, more
00:08:14.520
open, more tolerant, is because they had the pillars of our civilization to rely upon.
00:08:22.000
The church, the family, the productivity, the political order, the institutions, the system
00:08:32.300
We had all of that to rely upon, and so we were just leaning on that while we were indulging
00:08:42.120
But this is the thing about liberalism, is liberalism, including the old classical liberalism, it's
00:08:48.360
just like an acid that you pour onto your civilization.
00:08:58.280
People kind of like this acid for a while, but it just starts to eat away at the thing
00:09:07.020
And then once it eats away, once it chips away at faith and family and patriotism and
00:09:10.860
the political order and the law and all of that, then it just crashes and it starts to
00:09:17.200
The collapse begins to accelerate, as we're seeing all around us right now.
00:09:21.860
We went within a period of about eight years from knowing what marriage is.
00:09:28.240
Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, which has been for all of history,
00:09:33.080
and even the Democrats admitted this 10 or some odd years ago, to we need to pump little
00:09:39.160
kids full of hormones and chop off their body parts and sterilize them and turn them into
00:09:44.680
We went very, very quickly from the former to the latter.
00:09:53.240
You're not just seeing pushback from some middle school kids in Massachusetts.
00:09:57.080
There is a great Detroit area community that has just met in their institutions of self-government
00:10:05.520
and decided to ban the pride flag from public displays.
00:10:09.660
This is Hamtrank, I'm probably mispronouncing that, Michigan.
00:10:14.300
They just had an hours-long meeting, and the city council decided they're going to ban the
00:10:23.460
And according to council member Naeem Chowdhury said, you guys are welcome, meaning you, LGBT,
00:10:33.900
But why do you have to have the flag shown on government property to be represented?
00:10:45.300
I don't think you need to worry about visibility.
00:10:49.180
Very, very strong, confident, clear-eyed statement from the council.
00:11:01.280
That's a little wrinkle in here because you know that the libs are going to try to present
00:11:05.580
this as white supremacy or the Christian theocrats or whatever.
00:11:11.160
And thank goodness that the people on this board are Muslims rather than liberals because
00:11:18.940
They'd fly it from the portico of the White House.
00:11:22.340
It's the Muslims who are saying, nah, pride is bad.
00:11:25.140
Hey, aren't you guys supposed to be a Christian country?
00:11:28.780
Pride is like the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
00:11:33.080
And what the Muslims here are doing is they're saying, look, we have a community.
00:11:38.320
We have within a community in self-government, we have the right to standards and norms, and
00:11:42.740
And look, we want to be nice to all you people who are kind of a little eccentric sexually
00:11:47.260
and have different sorts of identities, and we're going to represent you.
00:11:51.100
But we don't need to fly your crazy flag everywhere in order for you to be represented.
00:11:56.000
We're not going to tolerate that kind of an exaltation of your eccentric views and identities.
00:12:07.860
Christians, you know, we used to do this kind of thing too.
00:12:11.440
We, Christians, used to have confidence in our beliefs.
00:12:15.180
And we used to have the confidence in our beliefs that they were conducive to the good
00:12:22.300
And we used to, within our system of beliefs, tolerate differences and divergences of opinion,
00:12:29.540
but within a broader culture that was Christian, that was resting upon our view, our metaphysical
00:12:34.860
views, our views of the political order, our views of what is best for human life.
00:12:40.980
I think the Christians need to take a lesson from the Detroit area Muslims here.
00:12:46.420
They are much more sensible than the many, many Christian politicians who have been infected
00:12:53.680
Some of them seem to have a terminal case of liberalism, and so much so that they would
00:12:58.700
celebrate the exaltation of the worst of the seven deadly sins in our culture, the consequence
00:13:04.880
of which is not just a flag going up somewhere on a portico.
00:13:08.800
The consequence of which is what that symbol represents, which is drag queen story hour,
00:13:13.440
which is transing your kids, which is taking away girls' sports, which is taking away the
00:13:26.280
Maybe Christians are beginning to remember that we have beliefs, we should believe in
00:13:33.520
our beliefs, and we should be confident to express them in public because religion is
00:13:40.240
And the reason I say this is because Transheiser Bush is getting absolutely destroyed right now.
00:13:44.940
Now, Transheiser Bush thought that this boycott of their beer was going to last for approximately
00:13:54.160
And so they said, okay, we're going to let this go by, and we're going to stick it out.
00:13:58.800
We're going to give a lot of contradictory, confusing messaging here.
00:14:02.600
And then once it's over, then we can keep investing in the pride parades and the drag shows and all
00:14:07.900
And Transheiser Bush's, and specifically Bud Light's profits, declined for a week, and
00:14:15.060
then another week, and then another week, and another week, and they're still down there
00:14:19.300
Now, Bud Light has officially been overtaken as the number one beer in America by Modelo.
00:14:26.740
Modelo, which Modelo is owned by Transheiser Bush outside of North America.
00:14:34.220
So it's the same company as, but in North America, it's not.
00:14:39.600
And so what was an American brand, Budweiser, then sells out to the Belgians, becomes Super
00:14:49.240
And now the number one beer in America is a Mexican brand.
00:14:53.740
The Mexicans, they seem to still have a slightly better grasp on their religion, seem to be a
00:14:58.780
little bit more consciously Christian than the Americans are.
00:15:01.480
And now they're the number one beer in America.
00:15:05.040
Modelo Especial made up 8.4% of retail beer sales, while Bud Light made up just 7.3%
00:15:11.500
of retail beer sales for the week ending June 3rd.
00:15:27.580
So, someone please, I know it's only 8 o'clock here, but I would love to sip on a delicious
00:15:34.860
And I think conservatives, this is the funniest thing of all, because the conservatives are
00:15:38.320
unfairly painted as racist and bigoted and Zena, whatever they say about us.
00:15:42.740
It would be really, really funny if conservatives now just ditch Bud Light in favor of Modelo.
00:15:50.320
Like, that's the new official brand of the hardcore, bleeding red, white, and blue American
00:16:01.000
Transheiser Bush executives can't defend Bud Light.
00:16:03.660
The only person who is still defending Bud Light is one of the few prominent liberals in country
00:16:10.780
That would be Garth Brooks, who, coincidentally, is opening up a bar, a honky tonk, here in
00:16:18.240
And a number of honky tonks in Nashville are saying, we're not serving Bud Light anymore.
00:16:22.400
Kid Rock's big-ass honky tonk and rock and roll steakhouse, one of the greatest establishments
00:16:28.820
Kid Rock just blasted away at Bud Light with his machine gun.
00:16:40.360
I was there with a liberal, and she asked to purchase a Bud Light, and they just sort
00:16:48.040
But Garth Brooks says he's sticking with Bud Light.
00:16:56.220
We got the same kind of thing on We Shall Be Free.
00:17:04.940
I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems
00:17:14.180
I understand that might not be other people's opinions, but that's okay, man.
00:17:21.540
Second thing, though, just let's talk about being a bar owner.
00:17:26.800
Are we going to have the most popular beers in the thing?
00:17:38.660
If they don't want it, then I got to go to the distributors and say, hey, man, your stuff's
00:17:43.780
But the truth is, it's those people in those seats that make those decisions.
00:17:47.540
And that's what Friends in Low Places is going to be.
00:17:51.480
If you want to come to Friends in Low Places, come in.
00:18:04.040
I'll bring love and compassion everywhere I go.
00:18:07.240
But I'm not going to go to Friends in Low Places, the Garth Brooks liberal bar, the announcement
00:18:14.400
He says, look, my bar, it's all about diversity.
00:18:20.420
He forgot to say equity and inclusion, but it was implied.
00:18:31.280
Okay, well, you're not going to have very many patrons if you keep up that attitude.
00:18:35.940
What do you mean you can't ban Bud Light from your bar?
00:18:46.840
A very large number of Americans have already made that decision, which is destroying Transheiser
00:18:52.240
And it's the reason it's no longer the number one beer in America.
00:18:59.340
So Garth Brooks is, I think, pretty clearly a liberal.
00:19:02.400
But a lot of squishy conservatives have echoed this kind of rhetoric over the last 30, 40 years.
00:19:09.380
Look, I'm not going to stand up for anything in the culture.
00:19:28.800
We have a market for the benefit of the flourishing of our nation.
00:19:33.320
And there are some things that are more important than money.
00:19:36.680
There are some things that are more important than GDP ticking up a little bit, like family,
00:19:42.980
like faith, like the political order, like the understanding of what man is and having
00:19:58.080
It's not that I go down to the honky tonks all that often, but when I go down,
00:20:02.480
I don't think I'm going to go to the newest gay bar in Nashville.
00:20:09.440
I think I'll probably stick around the other bars in Nashville for right now.
00:20:12.940
Now, speaking of beverage companies, there's some great news that has come out of Starbucks,
00:20:17.320
of all places, and there's great news on the pride front, but there's great news even on
00:20:26.480
And it's coming out of Starbucks, a company that I am, I feel now somewhat vindicated that
00:20:31.680
I have defended tepidly over the years, which we'll get to in a second.
00:20:38.520

Starbucks has just gotten into trouble among the libs because allegedly it ordered its stores
00:22:02.560
to get rid of all the rainbow merch during Pride Month.
00:22:06.300
Starbucks Corporation is denying that they did that, but the Starbucks Union is saying that
00:22:16.000
Something I've long defended about Starbucks is, one, it's a great corporation.
00:22:21.940
They make much better coffee than people give them credit for.
00:22:24.080
They've essentially installed bathrooms, public bathrooms, into every major city in the world,
00:22:30.540
which I really appreciate because previously it was very hard to find a bathroom if you were
00:22:35.180
So they make the pumpkin spice latte, big defender of that.
00:22:37.920
But one thing Starbucks has done is they seem very liberal without totally going over to all the kind of liberal craziness.
00:22:47.280
For a while, people accused Starbucks of donating to Planned Parenthood.
00:22:54.880
They agreed to match employee donations to certain nonprofit organizations, one of which was Planned Parenthood.
00:23:00.460
So even there, it's not like Starbucks was writing big fat checks to Planned Parenthood as a matter of corporate policy,
00:23:06.320
you know, to say we support abortion or something like that.
00:23:09.320
But putting the pride thing aside, there's an even better story coming out of Starbucks.
00:23:15.260
A white Starbucks employee was just awarded $25 million over race discrimination.
00:23:23.120
A federal jury just awarded a white Starbucks regional manager who was fired after staff at one of her stores
00:23:29.660
called the cops on two black men who were loitering in 2018.
00:23:32.900
They just awarded her over $25 million because they found that Starbucks fired her because of her race,
00:23:48.620
The court awarded her $25 million in punitive damages and $600,000 in compensatory damages
00:23:53.540
because Starbucks violated Jersey law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
00:24:05.300
Well, after that incident where there were some black men who were sort of loitering in the store
00:24:10.260
and they weren't really ordering anything and they were ordered out and they wouldn't leave
00:24:13.540
and then finally someone called the cops on them.
00:24:15.740
After that, there were all sorts of big exploitative racial grievance protests.
00:24:23.320
And so this woman observed that Starbucks started punishing white employees
00:24:29.900
and urged 175,000 employees at 8,000 locations to undergo sensitivity training,
00:24:38.060
would fire white employees over very, very minor issues if those issues even occurred at all,
00:24:43.480
whereas they would not fire employees of other races.
00:24:52.660
We need a lot more of white people suing for discrimination on the basis of race.
00:24:58.100
We need a lot more of straight people, whatever, you know, like people who have normal sexual views
00:25:04.760
and identities and behaviors to sue on the basis of sexual discrimination.
00:25:09.520
We need more Christians to sue on the basis of religious discrimination.
00:25:14.700
We need more people of the politically disfavored groups to wield the civil rights law in our favor.
00:25:23.560
Because right now, civil rights law is used as nothing more than a cudgel to attack politically disfavored groups.
00:25:30.120
In this case, men, people with ordinary sexual behaviors, white people, Christians, right?
00:25:41.620
It's unfortunate that this is what it's come to, but I predicted this.
00:25:48.960
I said that with a constant regime of racial identity politics,
00:25:55.480
it was only a matter of time before white people developed a racial consciousness.
00:26:00.100
White people, uniquely among racial groups, do not have a racial consciousness.
00:26:04.240
There's a Pew survey that we often point to, which is different racial groups were asked,
00:26:14.160
And for every racial group, Asian, Hispanic, and black, 50% or higher of respondents said
00:26:22.500
that race mattered somewhat or very much to their sense of identity.
00:26:28.600
White people, uniquely, said it doesn't matter to their sense of identity.
00:26:34.000
And a consequence of this has been that white people have been systematically discriminated
00:26:42.180
against on the basis of their race in college admissions, in employment practices like we
00:26:47.140
just saw out of Starbucks, throughout the culture.
00:26:49.920
It's not only the only group that, as a matter of law, you can discriminate against, though to
00:26:54.380
some degree Asians can be discriminated against too.
00:26:56.460
But it is the only group for whom it is socially acceptable and even encouraged to insult, to malign, to
00:27:10.500
And the same thing is true for people who have normal sexual behaviors, and the same thing is true for
00:27:22.360
There's nothing principled about allowing your political opponents, radical leftists in this
00:27:29.700
case, to wield the political order, to beat you into submission, into second-class status
00:27:41.620
We need to engage in political reality in a just and moral way.
00:27:48.380
Now, speaking of retribution, Chris Christie, we're still waiting on the croissants to really
00:27:55.760
Chris Christie is attacking Donald Trump on the question of retribution, saying that Trump
00:28:01.060
makes everything about him and his need for retribution.
00:28:09.580
Or do we need Donald Trump whining, moaning, and making everything about him?
00:28:13.420
He doesn't care about the American people, Bill.
00:28:18.120
And if you watched that speech yesterday at Bedminster, where's he talking about America
00:28:23.600
and the American people and their concerns and their needs?
00:28:26.920
This next administration of Donald Trump's president will be all about retribution for
00:28:41.020
That is why, despite Donald Trump's personal shortcomings, of which there are many, this
00:28:47.620
is why, despite President Trump's occasional lapses in judgment on policy and personnel,
00:28:54.440
maybe more than occasional, this is why people still overwhelmingly support him.
00:29:00.020
And he actually acknowledged this in his early campaign in 2024.
00:29:04.360
It's because we want retribution, not just rehabilitation, not just deterrence for the
00:29:14.060
bad, bad old libs who are abusing our political order.
00:29:20.160
Retribution is the primary component of a justice system.
00:29:25.620
And the liberals don't understand that anymore, even as they are quite vindictive against their
00:29:33.980
But even the conservatives don't understand this.
00:29:35.880
When we talk about, forget politics for a second, when we just talk about punishing criminals,
00:29:40.140
even the conservatives say, well, the only purpose of the system is to rehabilitate people,
00:29:45.560
or the purpose of the system is to deter other criminals.
00:29:49.460
The primary purpose is retribution, is punishing people for doing something wrong, for violating
00:30:01.020
But if rehabilitation were the only reason, or the primary reason that we have a criminal
00:30:07.320
justice system, then we would throw people into prison who haven't yet committed crimes.
00:30:11.820
Because we could all use a little rehabilitation.
00:30:15.700
I could use a little rehabilitation, but I don't go to prison because I haven't been convicted of a
00:30:23.040
Well, yeah, you could deter people from committing all sorts of crimes if you just started
00:30:29.240
That would deter people from doing very much of anything.
00:30:32.640
You wouldn't spit gum on the street if you saw a capricious and authoritarian government
00:30:44.280
If you commit a crime, you are to be punished for that.
00:30:50.480
The people who run our political establishment have really gotten out of control, and they've
00:30:59.980
spied on the Republican nominee in 2016, and they lied about him, and they undermined his
00:31:04.720
administration, and they arrest pro-life fathers of seven for advocating outside of a Planned
00:31:11.260
Parenthood, and they terrorize Catholic groups.
00:31:14.180
They try to infiltrate the traditional Catholic mass.
00:31:17.760
They go after bakers because the bakers don't want to participate in same-sex ceremonies.
00:31:26.420
And yeah, they're just, it's a nasty, unjust ruling class.
00:31:33.120
Oh yeah, also they're transing our kids and establishing drag shows on the White House lawn.
00:31:41.120
Someone in this ruling class needs to face consequences for their horrible actions.
00:31:48.220
And right now, Trump looks like the guy who is going to do that.
00:31:59.500
But whoever it is, I'm not saying this is the argument why we have to have Trump be the
00:32:04.500
nominee, but one of the arguments, especially for Trump, and an argument for any Republican
00:32:08.840
nominee is, we want retribution, and we feel that Trump would very likely give it to us.
00:32:16.180
The Democrats in the establishment still don't get this.
00:32:18.300
Jill Biden, sorry, Dr. Surgeon Jill Biden, Esquire, the Exalted, Her Royal Majesty Jill,
00:32:28.240
she was just speaking at a Democrat fundraiser on the Upper East Side.
00:32:33.160
She said she can't understand how so much of the GOP still supports Trump.
00:32:44.360
We still support Trump in no small part because of the indictment.
00:32:48.400
Because you people are so hell-bent on going after him for bogus nonsense.
00:32:54.060
Not only bogus nonsense, but bogus nonsense that you yourselves have committed.
00:33:00.260
That your predecessor, the Clintons, committed.
00:33:04.460
Bill and Hillary both improperly stored sensitive classified information and never faced any
00:33:18.180
Trump, after his arraignment, he swung by Versailles Café, Versailles, if you're French.
00:33:26.500
It's one of my favorite restaurants in Florida.
00:33:28.040
First of all, one of my favorite restaurants in America.
00:33:29.840
It's this nice, inexpensive, very high-quality Cuban restaurant.
00:33:34.140
And he swings by and he chats, not with the political elites, but with ordinary people
00:33:58.940
We have a country that's got nothing but problems.
00:34:10.380
We have a country that is in decline like never before.
00:34:15.720
I'm going to make a little speech tonight in Bedminster.
00:34:30.540
That's why a lot of Republicans still support him.
00:34:37.600
Because Joe Biden hangs out on the Upper East Side with lots of fancy New Yorker people.
00:34:41.920
And Joe Biden hangs out at Versailles Cafe and restaurant down there in Miami.
00:34:52.720
Certainly not a Republican of the type that we've seen for the last three or four decades.
00:34:58.260
Certainly not of the type that we've seen for the last three or four decades.
00:35:08.600
I'm not saying DeSantis couldn't take on this mantle.
00:35:12.160
I'm not saying that they couldn't take on this mantle.
00:35:14.180
I'm not saying that Nikki Haley or any of these candidates, I suppose, could position themselves to be that person.
00:35:31.660
And populism, a representation of the people against a corrupt elite, is on the rise.
00:35:47.900
And it's why establishment politicians cannot understand it.

So, how's Trump going to defend himself on these charges?
00:38:16.900
They really could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
00:38:19.320
One of the defenses, which was outlined by Michael Bekesha in the Wall Street Journal,
00:38:34.200
She did it too, and she didn't get in trouble, so I should get away with it.
00:38:42.820
And the reason this journal column is really worthwhile here is that,
00:38:48.400
while a lot of people have weighed in on this unprecedented legal question
00:38:52.080
of what to do when a former president and current leader of the opposition
00:38:58.640
is arrested on federal charges, that's never happened before.
00:39:02.820
So, a lot of people are weighing in hypothetically.
00:39:04.140
This guy, Michael Bekesha, is saying, look, I actually know something about this
00:39:11.480
because I'm the guy who lost the Clinton socks case
00:39:16.280
that was the nearest precedent we have for this Trump issue.
00:39:21.340
He says that a president chooses what records to return or keep
00:39:26.240
and the National Archives can't do anything about it.
00:39:31.920
but when Bill Clinton left office, he kept a lot of audiotapes in his sock drawer.
00:39:38.340
And these audiotapes included lots of sensitive, classified information,
00:39:42.660
and he insisted that this was his right to keep.
00:39:48.840
And so this went to court, and the court's opinion in the Clinton socks case
00:39:53.900
states that the sole authority to classify records pursuant to the Presidential Records Act
00:40:05.560
The National Archives has no authority regarding classification,
00:40:10.840
and it has no right to seize presidential records.
00:40:15.620
And that was the court's opinion when this involved Bill Clinton.
00:40:18.760
What about the Espionage Act, which is now being used,
00:40:22.060
a law from 1917 that's being used to go after Trump?
00:40:26.440
The Espionage Act, writes Bekesha, was not intended to apply to presidents, of course.
00:40:33.540
If it had been, here's the proof that it hadn't been intended to apply to presidents.
00:40:37.180
If it had been, then every single president who took documents with him
00:40:40.920
before the passage of the Presidential Records Act in 1978 could have been prosecuted for espionage.
00:40:48.160
So you have this period of 50, 60 years where every president who took documents out of the White
00:40:54.700
House, which is all of them, could have been prosecuted for espionage.
00:41:00.900
This is probably the strongest defense that we're seeing right now for Trump.
00:41:05.780
It's why the liberals who are attacking him aren't really mentioning the Clinton sock
00:41:09.360
example, which the Trump defense is bringing up.
00:41:13.500
Now, this is not a slam dunk for Trump, because the prosecutor has one more trick up his sleeve.
00:41:20.240
Right now, the case is being tried in Florida, where a Trump-appointed judge,
00:41:23.580
who is obviously sympathetic to Trump on this case, is the one presiding over it.
00:41:30.180
Because Trump took documents to his club in Bedminster, New Jersey,
00:41:34.180
and because that particular aspect of the investigation has not been brought up in the
00:41:40.160
Miami court, the prosecutor, if he thinks that the case in Florida is going south,
00:41:47.520
And in New Jersey, Trump is totally screwed, because it's going to be liberal judges in a
00:41:57.700
It's a reminder that the liberal establishment always has another act.
00:42:01.780
Okay, we're going to get Trump on being a Russian spy in 2016.
00:42:10.200
They go after him with the Mueller investigation.
00:42:12.860
Okay, we couldn't get him on colluding with the Russians.
00:42:14.780
We'll go after him on colluding with the Ukrainians.
00:42:20.280
Well, we're going to go after him for protesting us, okay?
00:42:23.480
We're going to go after him for leading, quote unquote, insurrection.
00:42:26.880
Okay, we're going to go after him for having his own documents in his club,
00:42:30.720
which the DOJ and the National Archives knew about.
00:42:34.840
Okay, well, we're going to go after him in a different state on the same charges.
00:42:41.600
And I know there are a lot of people now saying Trump opened himself up to this prosecution.
00:42:50.940
Trump is a clumsy sort of politician in that he's not a career politician.
00:42:56.940
So he walks into traps that a number of very highly calculated career politicians would not.
00:43:13.600
It's not even because he's the most effective guy ever.
00:43:19.260
But he also made a bunch of blunders and shot himself in the foot a bunch of times in his administration.
00:43:24.700
The reason that the establishment fears Trump is not because he's the most highly effective conservative ever there was.
00:43:41.700
And he upends American foreign policy in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
00:43:46.700
And he upends American trade policy vis-a-vis China and Mexico and other countries.
00:43:52.000
And he just doesn't follow the script, darn it.
00:44:00.800
And then he was supposed to work for some politician.
00:44:04.560
And then he was supposed to make buddy-buddy with the administrative state.
00:44:08.060
And then he was supposed to be tied in with all of the same swampy institutions that everyone else is.
00:44:23.900
Something of a dystopian future we're looking at.
00:44:25.700
Now, I'll tease this story because we don't have time to get to it today.
00:44:29.560
A lot of people are worried that we're going to turn into cyborg robots.
00:44:33.500
Elon Musk, who may or may not be a cyborg himself, says we already are.
00:44:41.980
Because right now, I want to talk about another phenomenon.
00:44:45.080
Totally unrelated to the things we've been talking about.
00:44:57.520
Not as girl boss, career women, working nine to five.
00:45:02.800
Not women who are wives, homemakers, mothers, making the liberal establishment furious.
