The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 218 - Another High-Tech Lynching

00:00:00.100 Democrats once again create a circus, a national disgrace, a high-tech lynching,

00:00:05.620 this time around Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings.

00:00:08.640 We will analyze the uncredible allegations against him. 0.97

00:00:12.180 Then Anne Hathaway spouts delightfully frivolous lies and nonsense at a gay lobbying group gala. 0.97

00:00:18.120 We will look at what her platitudes say about our culture. 0.96

00:00:21.100 Then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wears expensive clothing. 1.00

00:00:25.640 Because everybody is equal, but some people are more equal than others.

00:00:28.320 We'll talk about that, finally, on this day in history, the signing of our Constitution.

00:00:33.180 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:42.460 So much to get to today, and a lot of conservatives and Republicans getting things wrong,

00:00:47.240 because it's a day that ends in Y.

00:00:49.780 Before we talk about all of that, I need to bring you into my boudoir,

00:00:54.060 and I need to invite you to look at my lingerie.

00:00:57.060 Ooh la la, ooh welcome, hey baby.

00:01:00.020 I'm talking about Pair of Thieves, our new sponsor, and boy is Pair of Thieves good.

00:01:04.480 So Pair of Thieves points out that, on average, men keep their underwear for seven long years,

00:01:08.780 and for me, I keep them longer.

00:01:10.480 I'm a conservative, I don't want to give you too much information.

00:01:13.120 I've got underwear probably from middle school, certainly high school, boxers, you know.

00:01:18.680 So, and I don't know, it's because I'm frugal, I'm a fiscal conservative, I'm a traditionalist.

00:01:23.360 Anyway, no more of that, because Pair of Thieves makes the most comfortable underwear I have ever worn, hands down.

00:01:29.760 Just get that image in your head, folks.

00:01:31.240 Me lying down on a couch, smoking jacket on, Pair of Thieves boxer briefs lying there.

00:01:36.560 They have their proprietary moisture-wicking fabric, keeps you cool and fresh.

00:01:39.920 It's like air conditioning for every inch of your body.

00:01:42.880 It's really, really good.

00:01:44.560 One of the guys who started Pair of Thieves says all his wife ever wants to see him in is a pair of their super fit briefs.

00:01:50.280 His wife is Jessica Alba.

00:01:51.800 That is no joke.

00:01:52.860 These are the preferred boxer briefs of Jessica Alba.

00:02:20.660 Now that it's in there, it's all anybody wants to talk about.

00:02:24.360 It's all Ian Hathaway wants to talk about. 0.99

00:02:26.120 It's all the gutter Democrats want to talk about is sex, sex, sex. 1.00

00:02:29.860 So I'm sorry, I'm getting breaking. 0.99

00:02:32.620 Just one second, I'm getting breaking news right now.

00:02:35.020 Yes, we are hearing reports that Brett Kavanaugh is a secret super Nazi.

00:02:41.500 We're hearing reports.

00:02:42.800 They seem credible.

00:02:44.140 They're credible reports because somebody said it, so it's got to be credible because someone said it. 0.91

00:02:48.580 He is a super secret Nazi. 0.68

00:02:50.460 He's unfit for the Supreme Court. 0.99

00:02:52.120 That's it.

00:02:53.300 I guess we're going to have to change our show today.

00:02:54.660 It was all about how Brett Kavanaugh would be very good on the Supreme Court, but he's a super secret Nazi because there's a credible allegation. 0.82

00:02:59.860 Because it's credible because someone said it's credible.

00:03:02.120 So it's credible.

00:03:03.220 It's credible.

00:03:04.400 It's not credible.

00:03:05.340 None of these are credible.

00:03:06.080 So they're saying that Brett Kavanaugh, this is the allegation.

00:03:09.480 I'm sure you've seen this everywhere, but it's probably been all insinuations and, oh, did he do this or that? 0.95

00:03:14.340 They're trying to make it out like he raped a woman or something.

00:03:16.440 The allegation is that 35 years ago when Brett Kavanaugh was 17 and was drunk at a party, he groped another teenage girl who was also drunk.

00:03:29.440 And then he was like, you know, kind of on top of her on a bed and then she got away and then, and that's it.

00:03:36.360 That's the allegation.

00:03:38.260 That's the whole thing.

00:03:39.400 They don't mention where the party was, when, when really the party was, what the circumstances were, the story's changing.

00:03:46.660 So now the Democrats are using this 11th hour allegation to try to stop the Kavanaugh hearing.

00:03:52.360 These allegations are not credible.

00:03:56.080 Period.

00:03:56.860 Punto e basta.

00:03:57.800 No more.

00:03:58.860 Fini.

00:03:59.640 They're not credible.

00:04:00.700 Here, why are they not credible?

00:04:02.920 Because of all the context surrounding them.

00:04:06.340 They, first of all, because they came up at the 11th hour.

00:04:09.880 So not during the hearings, not when Brett Kavanaugh could have answered for himself, not when we could have actually investigated this.

00:04:15.200 Right before the vote, these come up.

00:04:17.640 The allegations were brought to Dianne Feinstein.

00:04:20.420 She sat on them.

00:04:21.400 Why did she sit on them? 0.98

00:04:22.600 One, because she probably didn't believe them.

00:04:25.040 Two, because she knew they could be discredited.

00:04:26.880 Three, because she wanted to spring this at the last second for Democrats to try to undo a nomination, which is certainly going to go through. 0.99

00:04:35.340 It certainly should go through.

00:04:36.740 So they do that.

00:04:37.800 Why else are the allegations not credible?

00:04:40.280 Because they were made, for the first time, publicly, like five minutes ago.

00:04:45.380 They're about an event that happened ostensibly 35 years ago.

00:04:49.920 And the first time they were ever mentioned publicly in the public space against a public figure who's been a public figure for a long time was about five minutes ago, right at the very end, when they were about to confirm him for the Supreme Court.

00:05:03.060 So why else are these allegations not credible?

00:05:06.100 Well, some other evidence that these might not be credible is that the woman who made them is a longtime left-wing activist, Democrat activist, donates to Democrat causes, volunteers her time, puts her name on petitions to support the Democrat Party, is an activist against the Trump administration.

00:05:22.000 Okay.

00:05:22.920 Now, none of that proves that this didn't happen.

00:05:25.700 I'm not saying with 100% certainty this didn't happen.

00:05:28.360 I'm not saying with 100% certainty that Brett Kavanaugh isn't a super-secret Nazi or that Dianne Feinstein isn't a super-secret Nazi.

00:05:37.420 I don't know.

00:05:37.760 You know, you can't, I can't prove a negative.

00:05:39.960 I can't prove something that allegedly happened 35 years ago, which is unverifiable and unfalsifiable.

00:05:45.580 But these are not credible allegations.

00:05:49.200 The woman who's making these allegations is Christine Blasey Ford.

00:05:53.300 The first time she had mentioned this at all, period, was in 2012.

00:05:58.360 So, six years ago.

00:05:59.900 And she mentioned it to her psychiatrist or psychologist or whatever.

00:06:03.400 And the therapist that she was talking to took down the notes.

00:06:06.640 And her story has radically changed since that time.

00:06:09.720 So, at the time she said that there were four men who were in the room when she was assaulted, allegedly assaulted.

00:06:16.160 Now that's gone down to two men who were in the room, allegedly, when she was assaulted, which is Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, who's a conservative writer.

00:06:25.240 Okay, that's a pretty big discrepancy.

00:06:26.800 That's the, there were 100% more people when she recalled this in 2012.

00:06:32.020 But why did it take so long?

00:06:33.760 Why did it take so long for her to mention it to anybody?

00:06:35.800 She didn't mention it to any friends at the time.

00:06:37.780 She didn't mention it to any friends in 2006 when Brett Kavanaugh became a judge.

00:06:42.180 She didn't, she waited until 2012, until six years after that, and until six years ago to mention anything about this.

00:06:48.520 And at that time she didn't name Brett Kavanaugh.

00:06:50.400 Now, if she really thought that there was a would-be rapist sitting on the federal courts, don't you think she would have named him in 2012?

00:07:00.240 You would think so.

00:07:01.320 Now, you might say, why would she lie?

00:07:05.840 Why would someone bring up a false accusation?

00:07:07.520 I don't know, I couldn't tell you.

00:07:08.760 And I'm not saying she's lying.

00:07:09.980 But I do know that people make false accusations all the time.

00:07:12.820 How many of these alleged cases of rape on campus have been proven to be hoaxes?

00:07:17.960 All the way since the Duke Lacrosse case, all the way up through recent years.

00:07:21.700 A number of them.

00:07:22.580 Why do people lie?

00:07:23.520 I don't know, I couldn't tell you.

00:07:24.640 Ask them.

00:07:25.040 We also know that she brought this up in a session of marriage counseling.

00:07:31.220 So I'm not to denigrate anybody who has mental health issues, who has psychiatric issues, but she is in mental health counseling.

00:07:41.040 She's discussing this with her therapist.

00:07:43.440 And we have to remember that memory is very, very unreliable.

00:07:47.380 I'm not saying this woman is lying.

00:07:48.820 I don't know if she's lying or not.

00:07:49.960 But it is perfectly plausible that she is remembering something that did not happen or did not happen the way that she thinks it happened.

00:07:58.260 Memories change all the time.

00:07:59.680 They change in pretty short order, by the way.

00:08:02.280 They change between, you know, over the course of a few weeks or over the course of a few months, certainly over the course of several decades.

00:08:10.300 There's an irony here too, though, by the way.

00:08:12.720 Because even if these, let's say that all of the allegations are true.

00:08:18.380 I don't think they're true.

00:08:19.100 I don't think there's any evidence that they're true.

00:08:21.320 But let's say that they were.

00:08:22.740 The same people now who are saying that we need to tar and feather Brett Kavanaugh are the very same people who are always pushing for lenient punishments against teenagers.

00:08:31.920 There is a movement now on the left to create another sort of juvenile court for people who are 20, 21 years old because they say, oh, those poor kids, their brains haven't developed yet.

00:08:41.460 They can't be held responsible for crimes that they've committed.

00:08:44.000 Teenagers can't be held responsible for crimes they've committed.

00:08:46.580 They should be processed separately.

00:08:47.860 So all of those people, the ones crying for criminal justice reform, even for adults, they're the ones who are now saying, Brett Kavanaugh allegedly groped a girl when he was 17, so now his life has to be over.

00:08:59.520 It's absurd.

00:09:00.160 But let's say that it were true.

00:09:03.700 And let's say that this woman is being earnest.

00:09:06.120 This really happened to her.

00:09:07.340 It really had some effect on her life, even though she didn't mention it for 30 years.

00:09:11.380 Let's say all of that is true.

00:09:12.600 She would be making allegations worthy of belief if she had made them at any other time, but she didn't, and you don't get to do that.

00:09:23.500 You don't get to do that.

00:09:24.480 You don't get to derail a guy who has an unimpeachable career, who has no similar allegations made against him ever at any point.

00:09:32.580 You don't get to derail his career at the very last moment just because you said so.

00:09:37.520 You don't get to.

00:09:39.060 If all of this happened and you have that right to go out there and nail him, you forfeited that right when you didn't do it earlier.

00:09:46.800 When you didn't do it in 2006 when he became a judge.

00:09:49.000 When you didn't do it when he was circulated as a potential Supreme Court.

00:09:52.840 When you didn't do it until the very last second.

00:09:54.860 You lose that credibility, and the Democrats obviously have no credibility here.

00:09:59.740 If they really believed that this were an issue, they would have brought it up when they first heard about it.

00:10:03.020 They didn't.

00:10:03.680 They sent it over to the FBI to investigate.

00:10:06.140 The FBI dismissed it.

00:10:07.200 They wouldn't look into it.

00:10:08.060 They said it was not worthy of investigating.

00:10:11.980 So what we have now is another high-tech lynching.

00:10:15.320 They did this to Clarence Thomas in the early 90s.

00:10:19.100 Here is Joe Biden actually was chairing that committee.

00:10:22.840 Here is what they did to Clarence Thomas when he was up for the nomination.

00:10:27.560 They said that he sexually harassed his colleague, even though the colleague had followed him from job to job.

00:10:32.340 She said it was some awful example of sexual harassment. 0.70

00:10:35.800 And here is how Clarence Thomas put an end to the argument.

00:10:41.780 Committee will please come to order.

00:10:44.500 Do you have anything you'd like to say?

00:10:45.400 Senator, I would like to start by saying unequivocally, uncategorically, that I deny each and every single allegation against me today.

00:10:56.320 This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee.

00:11:08.560 It was then leaked to the media.

00:11:11.280 And this committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation.

00:11:25.280 This is a circus.

00:11:26.500 It's a national disgrace. 0.98

00:11:27.760 And from my standpoint, as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas. 0.99

00:11:46.720 And it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. 0.98

00:11:55.400 You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.

00:12:09.860 Very powerful stuff from Clarence Thomas. 0.87

00:12:12.380 Guess what happened after that, by the way?

00:12:13.920 They voted for him.

00:12:15.040 They confirmed him.

00:12:15.980 What's great, too, is you have Joe Biden, just the least genuine person in America, the least sincere human being in America.

00:12:22.360 He's there presiding over the hearings.

00:12:25.160 And then the minute that Clarence Thomas says, from my view, this is a high-tech lynching, you just see Biden's head go down.

00:12:32.000 He's like, uh-oh, get me out of here.

00:12:33.460 Duck and cover.

00:12:34.480 Can I leave?

00:12:35.720 So the reason that this worked so well, one, it was very powerful stuff.

00:12:41.000 The allegations against Justice Thomas were frivolous.

00:12:43.460 And one of the reasons this worked is because Thomas was able to turn the identity politics of the left against them.

00:12:52.120 So he turned their own argument against them.

00:12:55.280 Brett Kavanaugh doesn't have the ability to do that.

00:12:57.460 He'll say, this is a high-tech lynching for privileged white men who went to Georgetown Prep.

00:13:02.420 Not going to land.

00:13:03.380 Not going to play.

00:13:04.240 So we don't know how he's going to answer this.

00:13:07.240 Already, all the usual suspects are saying, we can't vote for him.

00:13:10.240 We need to hear more.

00:13:11.160 Jeff Flake, who's on the Judiciary Committee, said, oh, I don't think I can vote for him.

00:13:16.680 Mm-mm-mm.

00:13:17.260 I'm going to go donate to Democrats in Alabama.

00:13:19.320 Mm-mm-mm.

00:13:19.820 I'm Jeff Flake.

00:13:20.500 Mm-mm-mm.

00:13:20.980 Just horrific.

00:13:22.300 Breaking news. 0.89

00:13:23.060 Once again, Jeff Flake proves he's the worst.

00:13:25.640 So what is going to happen?

00:13:27.400 We don't know.

00:13:29.500 It seems that he'll still get through.

00:13:31.240 These allegations are so absurd.

00:13:34.440 If you wrote a satire of this, you couldn't write a more frivolous way of undoing the Kavanaugh nomination than 35 years ago, when he was a teenager, he groped me.

00:13:45.900 And he says, no, I didn't.

00:13:47.520 And he said, well, there's no proof at all because I only brought it up three seconds ago.

00:13:50.980 But please don't become a judge.

00:13:53.100 That's their argument.

00:13:54.040 I mean, it's not, I hope it's not going to work.

00:13:56.400 But this does bring up another point, which is I cannot wait for the Democrats' next judge nomination.

00:14:03.820 I can't wait.

00:14:05.000 Ooh, is that going to be good?

00:14:06.220 Because they keep doing it to us.

00:14:07.440 They keep digging up this sleaze and this dirt.

00:14:09.600 And I can't wait for their next one.

00:14:11.340 Because I think, not out of anger, not out of my temper, but I think the Democrats need to learn a lesson.

00:14:16.340 And I feel real sorry for whoever that next judicial nominee is from Democrats.

00:14:20.820 I feel real sorry because it's going to get real, real ugly.

00:14:23.120 Anyway, before we get to why that is the case, why it is, it would be very wrong to consider these allegations credible.

00:14:32.620 Let me invite you into my bedroom.

00:14:34.120 What did I tell you?

00:14:34.640 I told you there's going to be a lot of boudoir talk today because I've got to tell you about Purple Mattress.

00:14:39.720 Oh, how I love Purple Mattress.

00:14:41.640 How did you sleep last night?

00:14:42.980 Did you spend the night tossing and turning?

00:14:44.820 Not me.

00:14:45.400 I sleep like a baby.

00:14:46.520 Why is that?

00:14:47.140 It all changed after Purple Mattress. 0.68

00:14:49.900 Purple is categorically different from other mattresses.

00:14:53.400 You're thinking, oh, the memory foam.

00:14:55.480 Oh, the springs.

00:14:56.280 Oh, this is totally different.

00:14:58.260 Purple Mattress is designed by rocket scientists.

00:15:01.880 It uses a brand new material.

00:15:04.080 It is not like the memory foam or the box spring or whatever that you are used to.

00:15:08.100 It's both firm and soft at the same time.

00:15:09.640 It keeps everything supported while still feeling very comfortable, and it's breathable.

00:15:14.240 You know I'm of Sicilian descent, so I sweat in the air conditioning, but it keeps it very, very cool.

00:15:20.080 It's really, really good.

00:15:21.320 You are going to love Purple.

00:15:22.520 You will end up feeling like you've got zero gravity.

00:15:25.440 It works for any sleeping position.

00:15:27.160 You can try it for 100 nights risk-free.

00:15:29.160 If you're not fully satisfied, return the mattress for a full refund.

00:15:31.880 It's backed up by a 10-year warranty.

00:15:33.580 Free shipping and returns, free in-home setup, and old mattress removal.

00:15:36.800 Can't ask for anything more.

00:15:37.900 You are going to love Purple.

00:15:38.900 Purple, get this mattress. 1.00

00:15:41.200 I'm telling you.

00:15:41.820 Get it right now, because my listeners will get a free Purple Pillow with the purchase of a mattress.

00:16:15.200 So, when we look at these allegations, these 11th hour allegations, I think, look, nobody

00:16:21.500 wants to tell an accuser that they're not going to believe her.

00:16:25.780 Even though, you know, sometimes people make false accusations.

00:16:28.680 I'm not saying that's what this woman is doing. 1.00

00:16:30.060 People, all we want to say is, oh, well, who knows?

00:16:33.240 We have to delay.

00:16:34.200 We have to hear this out.

00:16:35.280 We don't have to hear this out.

00:16:36.500 We don't.

00:16:37.420 If we were going to hear this out, we should have heard this out two months ago.

00:16:40.280 We do not.

00:16:40.980 We are under no obligation to hear this out.

00:16:44.020 The timing, all of the context around this makes it stink to high heaven as a political

00:16:48.940 dirty trick.

00:16:50.060 It is bad for our politics for us to take this seriously, to even consider taking this seriously.

00:16:54.940 People, if people have genuine grievances, if people have genuinely been hurt or attacked

00:16:59.740 or whatever, that should be aired.

00:17:01.780 We should investigate all of that.

00:17:04.220 It is so awful for our politics to just smear good people, smear them.

00:17:09.920 It discourages good people from going into public service.

00:17:12.760 First of all, everybody is tarnished.

00:17:14.700 Every, everyone's done bad things.

00:17:16.480 You know, it, but even if you haven't done bad things, even if you've got as unimpeachable

00:17:21.940 of record as Judge Kavanaugh, what this now tells you is you're going to get smeared either

00:17:25.880 way.

00:17:26.520 They're going to, they're going to go into your distant, distant past and either find

00:17:30.880 something, exaggerate something, or make something up whole cloth.

00:17:33.700 Imagine how squeaky clean you've got to be for, for the best shot for Democrats is to go back

00:17:38.740 to when you were 17 and either make something up or even find something that has a kernel of

00:17:44.200 truth to it, which I don't think this does.

00:17:46.240 Imagine that.

00:17:46.820 It discourages good people out of politics.

00:17:48.560 It's so below our caliber as a country and below our politics.

00:17:54.460 We should ignore it.

00:17:55.720 We should totally ignore it.

00:17:57.440 And the next time, if someone ever wants to make an allegation like this again against

00:18:00.360 another judicial nominee, do it, do it early.

00:18:03.300 Do it when there's time for people to defend themselves, when there's time to investigate.

00:18:06.560 If you're not going to do that, if you're not going to leave time to investigate, if you're

00:18:09.360 not going to leave time for people to have, to be treated fairly, then the accusation is

00:18:13.980 not worthy of even investigating.

00:18:15.580 So moving on, speaking of other crazy things, crazy ideology that leads to political hysteria,

00:18:21.240 Saturday night, Anne Hathaway was speaking at the Human Rights Campaign gala. 0.91

00:18:27.760 The Human Rights Campaign is a gay lobbying organization.

00:18:30.720 They're the one with the equal sign.

00:18:32.340 And she was speaking at their gala.

00:18:33.920 And she, I think this was the most incoherent oration I've ever heard.

00:18:37.520 But there are a lot of interesting kernels in here for what our culture and our politics

00:18:42.320 means right now.

00:18:43.240 Take it away, Anne. 0.65

00:18:44.000 So she's talking about a myth.

00:19:13.340 She's talking about this awful foundational myth.

00:19:17.540 And then she goes on to create her own myth.

00:19:21.480 And what she's saying is that gayness orbits around straightness. 0.94

00:19:26.780 What does that mean?

00:19:27.820 What does that picture really mean?

00:19:29.240 I think what she's actually saying is that gayness is a little bit abnormal and straightness

00:19:35.700 is the normal.

00:19:36.500 Statistically speaking, biologically speaking, most people are straight.

00:19:40.440 Our reproductive systems seem to be designed for a man and a woman to, you know, head over 1.00

00:19:46.660 to a purple mattress and do whatever they're going to do.

00:19:48.760 And that other more creative sexualities are a little abnormal.

00:19:53.560 Certainly that's the case.

00:19:54.500 But she's saying that isn't the case.

00:19:55.760 It's all exactly the same.

00:19:57.620 It's all exactly equally normal.

00:19:59.880 How about transgenderism?

00:20:00.940 And she's saying we have this crazy idea that if you're a man that you should think that

00:20:04.600 you're a man instead of thinking that you're a woman.

00:20:06.220 That it's abnormal if you're a man to think that you're a woman.

00:20:08.320 Of course that's abnormal.

00:20:09.680 Of course that's abnormal.

00:20:10.560 And then she says that we have this pernicious belief that other races orbit around whiteness.

00:20:18.160 I don't really know what that means.

00:20:20.400 I suppose being of a different race in a country where they're founded on a race, then I guess 0.75

00:20:27.320 that would make sense.

00:20:28.140 You know, if you're a Kenyan guy who's living in Norway, that might be a little abnormal 1.00

00:20:34.340 because Norway isn't full of Kenyans.

00:20:36.380 It's full of Norwegians. 0.97

00:20:37.200 So if you're a Kenyan there, you're not the common type of person.

00:20:42.580 Okay, fine.

00:20:43.380 Fair enough.

00:20:43.980 That isn't the case in America, though, which has every sort of color, every sort of race, 0.91

00:20:47.980 all sorts of people.

00:20:48.880 It doesn't seem like there's one normal person in America.

00:20:52.300 Certainly not Anne Hathaway.

00:20:53.360 She's definitely not a normal person in America.

00:20:55.440 So she's talking about this myth.

00:20:56.540 But did you see, even at the top she said, but, you know, I have all of this privilege.

00:21:01.280 Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa.

00:21:02.800 At least I'm not a man who thinks he's a man, but I'm still bad.

00:21:05.900 I'm bad.

00:21:07.200 Then she goes on.

00:21:10.000 Myth that is with us from birth.

00:21:12.520 And it is a myth that keeps money and power in the hands of the few instead of being invested

00:21:18.400 in the lives of the free.

00:21:22.860 So she's getting raucous applause.

00:21:24.760 She sounds like she's giving a real speech.

00:21:26.180 She said, this myth, this pernicious lie that we're founded on, keeps money in the hands of

00:21:32.400 the few and out of the hands of the free.

00:21:35.580 So she's saying there's a dichotomy between the few and the free.

00:21:38.080 But her entire speech is talking about how the majority of people are actually enslaved

00:21:42.840 to these privileged people.

00:21:44.140 So I don't see, how are they free? 0.77

00:21:45.240 I thought previously you were just saying that it's those awful, privileged, white, straight 0.97

00:21:49.140 people who think they're their own biological sex. 0.95

00:21:51.940 Those are the free ones and everyone else isn't free.

00:21:54.040 So she's using language really, really loosely here.

00:21:56.620 And she's saying that to distill it into normal, clear language. 0.87

00:22:01.760 She's saying that straight people make more money than gay people.

00:22:04.380 But that isn't true.

00:22:05.780 That just simply isn't true.

00:22:07.000 There was a study that came out from the National Health Interview Surveys.

00:22:09.880 It came out of these economists at Vanderbilt University.

00:22:12.740 Showed that gay men actually earn 10% more than straight men.

00:22:16.840 That's just earnings, to say nothing of wealth.

00:22:19.140 So even on that point, that it keeps money out of the hands of this and that and this and that,

00:22:22.660 that isn't true.

00:22:23.740 Actually, if you're gay, that gives you a certain privilege that allows you to earn more money 1.00

00:22:29.140 according to these surveys and according to the premises of this ideology.

00:22:33.980 But it doesn't matter because the ideology of the human rights campaign,

00:22:36.860 of the equal sign, of Hollywood, of the popular culture, that is the lie.

00:22:41.840 She goes on.

00:22:43.780 Authentic equality, authentic equality doesn't prioritize sexual orientation.

00:22:51.060 It doesn't put any one gender or race at the center. 0.57

00:22:55.220 It doesn't erase our identities either.

00:22:57.160 What it does do is centralize love.

00:23:03.020 And when love is fully centralized, every door opens for everybody.

00:23:11.280 You know, man, when you just, you just got to really centralize it, man.

00:23:17.220 And then the chakras, man, you know. 0.50

00:23:20.440 What she has just said contradicts her first premise.

00:23:24.320 She has said that what this wonderful movement is going to do is centralize love.

00:23:29.500 But in the first premise, she said the problem that we have is that we have love being centralized

00:23:35.380 and then other sorts of love orbiting around it.

00:23:37.880 Remember she said, well, this is central and then other things are orbiting around it.

00:23:41.200 So the centralization of love seems to be the problem.

00:23:43.500 Actually, what Anne should be arguing for in her speech is the decentralization of love, right?

00:23:48.960 That it's not just straight love that matters.

00:23:50.840 It's not just trans love or cisgender love, whatever crazy language she's going to make up.

00:23:56.220 It should be arguing for decentralization.

00:23:59.220 But this argument that she's making doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

00:24:04.100 She's just, it's that love wins, hashtag love wins.

00:24:07.780 It's that Anthony Kennedy and Obergefell saying we have a right to intimacy.

00:24:11.980 We have a right to love, you see.

00:24:13.560 That sounds, that has the sound of poetry to it.

00:24:16.480 But what does it really mean?

00:24:17.920 What she's just said means nothing.

00:24:19.860 It contradicts the very arguments she's been making.

00:24:22.880 But then if you were confused by her abstractions, don't worry.

00:24:26.220 She explains why you were confused by her abstractions.

00:24:28.940 Now, I know I'm speaking in abstractions and that there is privilege embedded in my ability to do so.

00:24:37.380 They're abstraction privilege.

00:24:39.180 We now have abstraction privilege.

00:24:40.620 That's a privilege, apparently, that Anne Hathaway does not possess. 0.98

00:24:43.900 Because she's not doing abstraction very well.

00:24:46.460 But I love this point.

00:24:47.880 She's talking about abstraction privilege.

00:24:50.480 There really is abstraction privilege.

00:24:52.620 That's true.

00:24:53.140 It's called consciousness.

00:24:54.300 It's called being a human.

00:24:55.600 That is our privilege.

00:24:57.180 I agree.

00:24:57.820 We have a privilege over the dogs and the cows and the kittens and the apes.

00:25:01.620 We do.

00:25:02.320 We have the ability for abstract thinking.

00:25:04.640 We have the ability for recursive language.

00:25:06.780 We have the ability to be conscious and think and reflect upon our own circumstances.

00:25:12.280 We have the ability to match intellect and will.

00:25:15.080 That is a privilege.

00:25:16.460 But that is not a privilege only for straight people.

00:25:18.960 Or only for white people.

00:25:20.380 Or only for people who think that they are the biological sex that they are.

00:25:24.480 That isn't.

00:25:25.140 That's what we have as humans.

00:25:26.380 That is the essential equality of humans.

00:25:29.040 That is why we are all children of God.

00:25:31.520 Because we are all endowed by our creator with that consciousness.

00:25:35.240 With that ability to know ourselves.

00:25:37.140 To know our world.

00:25:38.020 And to know our creator.

00:25:39.100 A wonderful point that she is totally undercutting by the argument that she thinks she is making.

00:25:44.840 And then she turns that self-flagellation up to 11.

00:25:48.040 Here we go, Ann.

00:25:48.680 Can you imagine what will happen as each person follows the lead of this community and rejects the myth of their own unworthiness?

00:25:59.160 And more importantly, the myth that they need others to be worth less in order for them to be worth more.

00:26:08.580 The walls built in fear will crumble.

00:26:11.720 They will disintegrate.

00:26:12.940 The old world will shatter.

00:26:14.740 And the pieces that no longer serve will melt.

00:26:17.240 A new world will emerge forged from this community.

00:26:21.520 From your seismic imperative message.

00:26:26.980 That love is love.

00:26:28.460 I need a lot more if I'm going to understand that one.

00:26:36.720 I'm going to need a lot more covfefe in the old burner if I'm going to get that.

00:26:40.620 She ends with love is love.

00:26:42.500 Because that is the truism and the platitude that this is all based on.

00:26:46.280 Love is love.

00:26:47.680 But then, in that first part, she constructs an abominable world.

00:26:52.740 And it's not that she's the first to make this argument.

00:26:56.080 People have made this argument before.

00:26:57.320 It goes back a long, long time.

00:26:59.120 She talks about how we need to reject the fact that we're not worthy.

00:27:02.040 That we're imperfect.

00:27:03.540 You hear this all the time.

00:27:04.820 I heard this from my Panda Express fortune cookie the other day.

00:27:08.940 It said, you are perfect the way that you are.

00:27:11.280 But you're not.

00:27:12.340 You're not perfect the way that you are.

00:27:14.200 I don't say that to be mean.

00:27:15.440 I say that actually as a moment of compassion.

00:27:18.700 Because if you think that you're perfect the way that you are,

00:27:20.900 you're quickly going to find out that you're not.

00:27:23.040 And you'll be left with despair.

00:27:24.200 It is a much more hopeful and truthful understanding of the world that we are not perfect the way that we are.

00:27:30.120 We all know this.

00:27:31.500 Even Brett Kavanaugh, who's pretty unimpeachable.

00:27:33.640 I'm sure he tells a lie every now and again.

00:27:35.820 Or he, you know, cuts somebody off in traffic or something.

00:27:38.700 I don't know.

00:27:39.000 We're all imperfect.

00:27:41.940 We're all fallen people.

00:27:43.300 And what this movement is saying, what Anne Hathaway is saying, what the Human Rights Campaign is saying,

00:27:48.500 with the equal sign and with the promotion of Pride Week, is that we should be proud of ourselves.

00:27:55.160 We shouldn't be aware of our own unworthiness.

00:27:58.020 She also says, this is kind of ironic, she says, we shouldn't have to put other people down to build ourselves up.

00:28:05.500 She just spent a whole speech putting down white people, straight people, people who think that they are the biological sex that they are. 0.55

00:28:11.140 She's putting down people throughout the whole thing and spatting off a bunch of lies. 1.00

00:28:14.540 And she says, but we shouldn't do that.

00:28:16.320 This is, Democrats do this all the time.

00:28:17.760 They're doing it in the Kavanaugh hearings.

00:28:19.760 They're doing it certainly in the Trump administration.

00:28:21.700 We'll get to that in a second.

00:28:22.660 And then she says, when she's speaking at her most theological, her most apocalyptic, she says, we're going to shatter this world.

00:28:30.180 We're going to create a new world.

00:28:32.500 We're not going to accept things the way that they are.

00:28:35.960 We are going to create a whole new world.

00:28:39.000 And you hear, Democrats have been saying this for 50 years.

00:28:42.400 They have been quoting George Bernard Shaw's play Back to Methuselah.

00:28:46.140 You heard the Kennedys say this, all of the Kennedys, I think, in various speeches, said,

00:28:50.300 some people look at the world and ask why.

00:28:55.280 Some people look at things that are and ask why.

00:28:57.240 I look at things that never were and ask why not.

00:29:00.660 I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

00:29:04.220 They're quoting this as though this were some great, wonderful speech.

00:29:07.160 It's not.

00:29:08.540 They are quoting George Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah, but specifically,

00:29:11.760 they are quoting the serpent in the garden tempting Eve.

00:29:15.500 And Back to Methuselah, that is what that line does. 0.85

00:29:18.040 They say, some people look at things that are and ask why.

00:29:20.820 I dream of things that never were and ask why not.

00:29:23.240 That is the language of Satan because reality is a beautiful thing.

00:29:27.900 Life is a comedy.

00:29:29.100 It's the greatest story ever told.

00:29:30.460 It's a grand comedy.

00:29:32.400 As Horace Walpole says, life is a comedy to the man who thinks

00:29:35.080 and a tragedy to the person who feels.

00:29:38.140 Some people want to get out of the world of reality.

00:29:40.740 They're afraid of it.

00:29:41.380 They run away from reality.

00:29:42.600 So they drug themselves up or they drink too much

00:29:44.700 or they lose themselves into fantasies and fairy tales.

00:29:48.920 But reality is a beautiful thing.

00:29:50.300 You should confront reality and not try to destroy the world

00:29:53.500 and create a new world on top of it.

00:29:55.360 That is not a strategy for success.

00:29:59.400 But the left abuses language in this way all the time.

00:30:02.400 It sounds so compassionate.

00:30:04.760 She says, love is love.

00:30:06.560 Love is love.

00:30:07.680 This is the same thing with these Kavanaugh hearings.

00:30:09.620 I think we're all tempted because we're emotionally manipulated

00:30:13.520 by certain people and certain political programs

00:30:16.200 to feel, to lean into this love.

00:30:19.360 Love is love.

00:30:20.000 Love is love.

00:30:20.740 But love that is not grounded in truth,

00:30:23.220 that is not grounded in reality,

00:30:24.680 that actually, as Anne Hathaway says, is opposed to reality,

00:30:27.920 that isn't love.

00:30:28.960 That's sentimentality.

00:30:30.020 And sentimentality is an awful thing.

00:30:32.080 Sentimentality can be used and abused.

00:30:34.300 It's saccharine.

00:30:35.140 It's sick.

00:30:35.920 It will leave you unsatisfied.

00:30:37.980 And it can be twisted for very bad things,

00:30:41.000 very unreal things,

00:30:42.300 because it's opposed to the very nature of reality.

00:30:45.400 The mainstream media have been twisting language on and on again.

00:30:49.020 Our pals at the Media Research Center have just analyzed a study of this.

00:30:52.860 They have found the words that the mainstream media have been using

00:30:56.000 most frequently to describe President Trump.

00:30:59.780 What do you think?

00:31:00.380 Handsome, competent, courageous.

00:31:01.920 Is that what they're doing?

00:31:02.500 No, not quite.

00:31:03.360 Not quite.

00:31:04.020 The words that the mainstream media have been using to describe Trump

00:31:07.200 most often are angry, furious,

00:31:11.600 fuming, outraged,

00:31:14.440 venting, infuriated,

00:31:17.260 livid, enraged, and seething.

00:31:20.420 Those are the words that they're using most frequently to refer to Trump.

00:31:23.060 They're probably using it more than he or the or him, you know, Donald.

00:31:27.460 They're using those adjectives to describe them.

00:31:30.320 And it creates a picture in our mind of this guy who's totally unbalanced,

00:31:34.700 who's insane, who's lost his mind. 0.55

00:31:36.940 And yet when we see President Trump speaking,

00:31:39.000 when we see his agenda in action,

00:31:41.040 when we see how much he's accomplished in a very short period of time,

00:31:44.400 it really butts up against that, doesn't it?

00:31:46.120 When you see that, you think,

00:31:47.240 wait a second,

00:31:47.840 that doesn't seem like a guy who's not in control of his emotions.

00:31:50.900 Anne Hathaway might not be in control of her emotions,

00:31:53.440 but Donald Trump certainly seems like he is.

00:31:55.520 People who can't control their passions don't accomplish very much.

00:31:59.700 They can't because they're always lost in a torrent of passion and emotion.

00:32:03.940 Donald Trump's accomplished a lot,

00:32:05.240 a lot on the economy, a lot on foreign affairs.

00:32:07.460 Obviously, the judges,

00:32:08.580 I think he's got a record number of judges through.

00:32:11.440 He's been accomplishing so much.

00:32:12.840 He's accomplished a lot in his life.

00:32:14.180 This is not a guy who is led around aimlessly by passion,

00:32:17.700 but the media want to pretend that he is.

00:32:20.280 And they're also trying to create this image

00:32:23.320 that he can't control his own thinking,

00:32:26.620 that he's childish, that he's immature.

00:32:29.320 John Kerry, former Secretary of State

00:32:31.620 and the former star of Deputy Dog,

00:32:34.620 was on Bill Maher's show last week.

00:32:37.940 Here is how he described Donald Trump.

00:32:40.040 He really is the rare combination

00:32:42.980 of an eight-year-old boy.

00:32:48.040 I mean, he's got the maturity of an eight-year-old boy

00:32:50.260 with the insecurity of a teenage girl.

00:32:53.320 That's a sweet woman.

00:32:55.400 Not a mean chick girl. 1.00

00:32:57.400 And a mean girl. 1.00

00:32:59.020 A very mean girl.

00:33:00.080 Mean girl. 1.00

00:33:01.540 Now, imagine if Donald Trump had said that

00:33:03.840 about John Kerry.

00:33:05.340 What would the mainstream media,

00:33:06.400 if Donald Trump came out and he said,

00:33:08.060 look, John Kerry, okay,

00:33:09.340 he's got the maturity of an eight-year-old boy, okay,

00:33:12.540 and he's got the insecurity, frankly,

00:33:15.620 of a teenage girl, okay?

00:33:17.200 If he had said that,

00:33:18.560 it would be headline news.

00:33:20.060 This is awful.

00:33:20.880 He's debasing the office of president.

00:33:22.800 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:33:23.820 But because John Kerry sounds like

00:33:25.380 Thurston Howell III,

00:33:26.520 and he goes on Bill Maher,

00:33:27.760 he says, well, frankly,

00:33:29.000 he's like an angel.

00:33:30.620 What was that, John?

00:33:32.680 Can someone pry open

00:33:34.240 John Kerry's locked jaw, please?

00:33:36.160 Eight-year-old boy.

00:33:37.220 Because he does it like that,

00:33:39.900 because he wears the suit so nicely,

00:33:42.000 but it has his tie all the way up to his neck,

00:33:44.440 then people take him,

00:33:46.140 oh, he's so serious.

00:33:47.420 Oh, no, that's how respectful,

00:33:49.780 responsible people behave.

00:33:51.140 That's how mature states would behave,

00:33:52.480 unlike Trump.

00:33:53.140 They're saying the same thing.

00:33:54.300 They're saying exactly the same thing.

00:33:55.780 And it's not just John Kerry.

00:33:56.840 Here's Joe Biden doing precisely the same thing.

00:33:59.600 There are a small percentage of the American people,

00:34:02.400 virulent people,

00:34:03.260 some of them the dregs of society. 0.98

00:34:09.340 Dregs of society. 0.99

00:34:10.800 Dregs of awful people, 1.00

00:34:12.220 dregs of society. 0.99

00:34:12.960 He's talking about Trump supporters.

00:34:14.560 Actually, at the human rights campaign,

00:34:16.180 the same thing that Anne Hathaway was speaking at.

00:34:18.060 He's talking about half of the country.

00:34:19.660 He's talking about Trump supporters.

00:34:20.560 He's calling them the dregs of society.

00:34:22.380 And yet, when Donald Trump calls a handful of 1.00

00:34:24.580 hack journalists scum, 1.00

00:34:27.700 then it's awful. 1.00

00:34:28.680 Then it's an attack on our country.

00:34:30.160 It's an attack on our countrymen.

00:34:31.380 But Joe Biden,

00:34:32.060 former vice president of the United States,

00:34:33.840 refers to half the country as the dregs of society.

00:34:36.360 That's okay.

00:34:37.640 It's applause.

00:34:38.260 He's wearing a tuxedo.

00:34:39.780 Look, he's wearing a tuxedo.

00:34:40.680 He can't be.

00:34:41.640 He can't be immature and uncivil.

00:34:44.380 He's in a tuxedo.

00:34:45.560 We've got a lot more.

00:34:46.520 Even more Democrats are doing this.

00:34:48.040 Before we get to it, though.

00:34:49.600 Before we get to celebrate Constitution Day.

00:34:52.120 Before we get to talk about Hillary.

00:34:53.880 Before we get to talk about

00:34:55.020 Alexandria Occasionally Cortex.

00:34:58.080 I stole that from Steve Hayward.

00:34:59.580 I can't take credit for that.

00:35:00.660 Alexandria Occasional Cortex.

00:35:02.380 Before we talk about all of that,

00:35:03.400 I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.

00:35:05.000 If you are on Facebook and YouTube,

00:35:06.700 go to Daily Wire.

00:35:07.480 Come on.

00:35:07.880 If you're there,

00:35:08.520 thank you very much.

00:35:09.180 You help keep the lights on.

00:35:10.280 You keep covfefe in my cup.

00:35:11.620 You keep me sleeping soundly

00:35:12.800 on my purple mattress,

00:35:13.980 all snug as a bug

00:35:14.860 with my pair of thieves boxers on.

00:35:16.520 You do a lot for me,

00:35:18.020 basically,

00:35:18.440 is what I'm saying.

00:35:19.400 If you haven't subscribed,

00:35:20.580 it's $10 a month,

00:35:21.960 $100 for an annual membership.

00:35:23.640 You get me.

00:35:24.140 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:35:24.920 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:35:25.760 You get to ask questions

00:35:26.660 in the mailbag.

00:35:27.240 That's coming up on Thursday.

00:35:28.700 You get to ask questions

00:35:29.740 in the conversation.

00:35:31.400 Much more importantly,

00:35:32.960 you get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:35:35.800 And we've been focusing a lot

00:35:36.820 on Washington Leftist Tears recently.

00:35:38.860 And look,

00:35:39.280 there are some great vintages

00:35:40.400 of Leftist Tears

00:35:40.980 that come out of Washington.

00:35:42.360 But now we've got that

00:35:43.200 Anne Hathaway Hollywood vintage.

00:35:47.380 And those are tasty.

00:35:48.920 Those, you know,

00:35:49.340 I do think that the ground

00:35:52.980 is much more fertile

00:35:53.940 out here in Hollywood.

00:35:55.340 The sun is shining more.

00:35:56.600 And it just produces

00:35:57.960 more delicious Leftist Tears.

00:35:59.540 So go to dailywire.com.

00:36:00.940 We'll be right back.

00:36:11.560 So that's the insulting,

00:36:13.220 reckless, bitter,

00:36:14.140 immature language 0.98

00:36:14.900 of statesmen.

00:36:16.520 Former Secretary of State,

00:36:17.380 former senators,

00:36:17.980 former vice president.

00:36:19.800 It's also true 0.99

00:36:20.720 in the left-wing's

00:36:22.440 pundit class.

00:36:23.300 Even the Washington Post,

00:36:24.960 these left-wing pundits

00:36:25.960 who go on TV.

00:36:26.680 Here's Jennifer Rubin

00:36:27.480 talking about the president. 0.95

00:36:29.740 Donald Trump has killed 0.99

00:36:31.300 those people twice. 0.99

00:36:32.560 Once through neglect

00:36:33.760 and oversight.

00:36:34.680 And secondly,

00:36:35.700 disgracing that

00:36:36.640 they died at all.

00:36:38.680 And that's what

00:36:39.320 death denial,

00:36:40.300 that's what Holocaust denial,

00:36:41.600 that's what all these

00:36:42.280 denial syndromes

00:36:43.160 are all about,

00:36:43.980 is killing the person twice. 0.99

00:36:46.080 So Donald Trump 1.00

00:36:46.960 is a murderer. 1.00

00:36:47.560 He's a Nazi, 1.00

00:36:49.060 he's a Holocaust denier, 1.00

00:36:50.580 and he's killed people twice

00:36:51.780 because there was a hurricane.

00:36:55.100 That's Jennifer Rubin,

00:36:56.640 a left-wing analyst

00:36:57.760 with the Washington Post,

00:36:59.200 who I think she pretends

00:37:00.300 to be a Republican still,

00:37:01.440 but obviously she's a very

00:37:02.520 left-wing partisan

00:37:03.300 and has been for a long time.

00:37:05.120 Because there was a hurricane,

00:37:07.400 because Donald Trump

00:37:08.220 controls the weather,

00:37:09.020 I guess,

00:37:09.860 he's got even more power

00:37:11.640 than I think he thought he had.

00:37:12.900 Because he controls the weather, 0.68

00:37:14.120 he's a Nazi, 0.93

00:37:15.580 Holocaust-denying, 1.00

00:37:17.160 double murderer.

00:37:17.960 And I don't mean double murderer

00:37:18.960 like he killed two people,

00:37:19.940 I mean double murderer

00:37:20.900 that he killed the same person twice.

00:37:22.660 That's what he did,

00:37:23.360 according to the left.

00:37:24.260 But Trump's using crazy language,

00:37:26.400 isn't he?

00:37:26.740 He's being so uncivil.

00:37:28.280 Oh, this is bad.

00:37:29.180 Oh, we Republicans

00:37:30.420 should really take stock

00:37:31.540 of ourselves.

00:37:32.340 Oh, no.

00:37:33.500 How could we?

00:37:34.280 Mea culpa mea.

00:37:35.000 Give me a break.

00:37:36.020 Give me a break.

00:37:37.200 When they talk about incivility,

00:37:39.060 just laugh.

00:37:40.040 Just laugh in their face.

00:37:40.900 When they talk about

00:37:41.880 Brett Kavanaugh

00:37:42.600 as like a super-secret 1.00

00:37:44.100 Nazi rapist murderer, 1.00

00:37:45.600 just laugh at them. 1.00

00:37:46.520 Just laugh.

00:37:47.160 They have no credibility whatsoever.

00:37:49.240 It is not worth

00:37:50.160 even acknowledging 1.00

00:37:51.520 their stupid hysterical cries. 1.00

00:37:53.500 They're behaving 1.00

00:37:54.020 like little children.

00:37:55.020 They should be treated

00:37:55.600 like little children.

00:37:56.540 Hillary Clinton today

00:37:57.400 has this piece

00:37:58.100 in The Atlantic

00:37:59.160 because she wrote

00:37:59.780 a new chapter

00:38:00.940 for her book,

00:38:01.900 What Happened.

00:38:02.620 I think she's going to write

00:38:03.440 a new chapter every month.

00:38:05.500 It's the,

00:38:06.140 I don't know,

00:38:06.840 it was the Macedonians before 0.99

00:38:07.880 and now it's the Ghanaians.

00:38:09.140 Now it's the Nigerians. 1.00

00:38:10.420 Now, okay, whatever.

00:38:11.780 So she wrote this piece

00:38:12.640 in The Atlantic

00:38:13.100 on our constitutional crisis

00:38:14.560 because our democratic institutions,

00:38:18.220 our democracy,

00:38:19.200 is being undermined.

00:38:20.860 It's under attack.

00:38:21.840 That's what she's alleging. 0.88

00:38:23.980 She's alleging this 0.94

00:38:25.000 as the woman

00:38:25.800 who is undermining

00:38:26.720 our democracy,

00:38:27.700 as the woman

00:38:28.260 who is undermining

00:38:29.100 our democratic election,

00:38:30.840 our duly elected president.

00:38:32.380 She's saying,

00:38:33.100 it's under attack,

00:38:33.780 it's under attack.

00:38:35.200 Shh, it's okay, it's okay.

00:38:36.800 Shh.

00:38:37.340 She's my third cousin

00:38:38.120 once removed,

00:38:38.640 as you all know.

00:38:39.080 Shh, it's okay.

00:38:40.760 It's all right.

00:38:41.420 You lost.

00:38:42.560 If Mitt Romney

00:38:43.240 had done this in 2012,

00:38:45.100 he would be excoriated.

00:38:46.460 People aren't excoriating you

00:38:47.780 because they haven't,

00:38:49.340 you know,

00:38:49.880 wrapped her up

00:38:50.420 in a straitjacket

00:38:51.480 and hauled her 0.98

00:38:51.920 out of those woods

00:38:52.460 in Chappaqua yet.

00:38:53.560 She's behaving 0.99

00:38:54.220 like a crazy person. 1.00

00:38:55.580 She's not to be taken seriously. 0.70

00:38:57.080 They are not

00:38:57.720 to be taken seriously.

00:38:59.840 Now this doesn't mean

00:39:00.520 that we should delve

00:39:01.180 to their level.

00:39:02.740 Maybe their next judge candidate,

00:39:04.440 you know,

00:39:05.180 maybe we give them

00:39:07.200 a little taste

00:39:07.560 of their own medicine,

00:39:08.280 but I don't think generally

00:39:09.280 we should delve

00:39:09.980 to their level.

00:39:10.840 It does mean, though,

00:39:11.880 that we should stop

00:39:12.760 flogging ourselves

00:39:13.800 when a Republican 0.99

00:39:15.380 uses nasty language,

00:39:17.020 when Donald Trump

00:39:17.900 sends out a mean tweet.

00:39:19.560 And Republicans,

00:39:20.920 there are some Republicans

00:39:21.980 and some conservatives

00:39:22.660 who spend more time

00:39:23.640 shrieking about

00:39:24.500 Donald Trump's tweets

00:39:25.320 than they ever would

00:39:26.220 talking about Joe Biden

00:39:27.540 or John Kerry

00:39:28.800 or Jennifer Rubin

00:39:29.900 or Hillary Clinton 0.99

00:39:30.560 because they feel,

00:39:32.040 oh, I don't want to be seen

00:39:33.360 as one of those people.

00:39:34.860 It's okay.

00:39:35.500 It's all right.

00:39:36.220 Politics is ugly.

00:39:37.620 Otto von Bismarck,

00:39:38.420 I think,

00:39:38.800 said that it's much better

00:39:40.180 to eat the sausage

00:39:40.860 without seeing how it's made.

00:39:42.380 You know,

00:39:42.700 politics is an ugly business.

00:39:44.500 It's particularly ugly

00:39:45.540 at this moment.

00:39:47.020 It's all right.

00:39:47.500 Doesn't mean we shouldn't

00:39:48.200 fight back.

00:39:48.940 We should fight back

00:39:49.860 because there are actual

00:39:51.320 stakes here.

00:39:53.000 There is actual freedom.

00:39:54.220 There is actual American liberty.

00:39:55.380 There is actual American 1.00

00:39:56.920 Western civilization at stake.

00:39:58.900 We should fight hard

00:39:59.760 to protect it. 0.87

00:40:00.980 A lot of hypocrisy 0.75

00:40:02.540 on this front. 0.87

00:40:03.060 A lot of hypocrisy 0.97

00:40:03.900 from the left. 0.83

00:40:04.760 I do want to speak briefly

00:40:05.780 before we have to go

00:40:06.740 about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:40:09.620 She did this interview

00:40:10.580 in Interview Magazine.

00:40:12.280 Creative.

00:40:12.800 Creative title.

00:40:13.800 And in the interview

00:40:15.520 she was wearing

00:40:16.100 a $3,500 outfit.

00:40:17.880 So she was wearing

00:40:18.520 a blazer that was

00:40:19.240 almost $2,000.

00:40:20.580 She was wearing pants

00:40:21.840 that were almost $1,000.

00:40:23.280 She was $600 shoes.

00:40:24.400 Okay.

00:40:26.000 People are attacking her

00:40:27.100 because she's a socialist.

00:40:28.760 Self-proclaimed socialist.

00:40:30.260 Wearing thousands

00:40:31.040 of dollars of clothing.

00:40:32.140 Now some are saying

00:40:33.160 it's not fair.

00:40:34.920 They always go after women. 1.00

00:40:36.140 Women wear expensive clothing. 1.00

00:40:37.520 Lay off.

00:40:38.500 No.

00:40:39.180 It's not fair

00:40:39.800 when they go after

00:40:40.420 Republican women. 0.88

00:40:41.220 It is fair 0.55

00:40:41.920 when they go after

00:40:42.700 socialists.

00:40:43.980 Not even all Democrats.

00:40:44.920 It's not even fair

00:40:45.540 when they go after

00:40:46.080 all Democrats.

00:40:46.600 But it is

00:40:47.680 totally fair game

00:40:48.920 when they go after

00:40:50.000 socialists.

00:40:51.200 This woman is saying

00:40:52.680 we need to soak the rich,

00:40:54.000 take all of their money.

00:40:55.720 Wealth is bad.

00:40:56.780 Choice is bad.

00:40:57.960 Bernie Sanders,

00:40:59.100 her dear pal,

00:41:00.340 when he was running

00:41:01.300 in 2016,

00:41:02.500 one of his

00:41:03.020 major talking points

00:41:04.480 is that we have

00:41:05.140 too many choices

00:41:05.920 of deodorant.

00:41:07.260 There's no joke.

00:41:08.160 That when you go

00:41:08.680 to the drugstore,

00:41:09.440 you see too many choices

00:41:10.300 of deodorant.

00:41:10.920 We don't need

00:41:11.600 all that deodorant.

00:41:12.260 We only need one or two.

00:41:13.760 We need to centralize it

00:41:14.980 and stop people

00:41:15.660 from having all these

00:41:16.300 nice things.

00:41:16.940 Then she wears 0.80

00:41:17.460 $3,000 worth of clothing.

00:41:18.960 $3,500 worth of clothing.

00:41:20.720 That is hypocrisy.

00:41:22.400 I'm not out there

00:41:23.440 saying that we all

00:41:24.480 need to be exactly

00:41:25.200 materially equal,

00:41:26.800 exactly financially equal.

00:41:28.420 She is,

00:41:29.180 and she's giving that

00:41:30.040 old George Orwell

00:41:31.000 animal farm line.

00:41:32.180 We're all equal,

00:41:33.360 but some of us

00:41:33.980 are more equal

00:41:34.520 than others.

00:41:35.060 That's the Alexandria

00:41:36.160 Ocasio-Cortez line.

00:41:37.740 And that's exactly

00:41:38.460 what's going to happen

00:41:39.220 if her preferred system

00:41:40.700 of government

00:41:41.120 is instituted.

00:41:41.920 If socialism is instituted,

00:41:43.460 there will be

00:41:43.980 a concentration of wealth

00:41:45.100 and power and privilege

00:41:46.000 among the crony class.

00:41:47.900 And she will be right there.

00:41:49.660 It's totally fair. 0.72

00:41:50.720 It is an issue of hypocrisy.

00:41:52.600 This also brings us

00:41:53.500 to Chelsea Clinton

00:41:54.200 I want to get to

00:41:54.740 before we go.

00:41:56.020 Chelsea Clinton

00:41:56.520 over the weekend.

00:41:57.780 You know,

00:41:57.980 she's a big abortion proponent. 1.00

00:41:59.540 She's been talking about

00:42:00.160 how great Roe v. Wade is,

00:42:01.380 how we should have

00:42:01.920 legal abortion.

00:42:02.920 And why?

00:42:03.700 Because she's a Democrat. 1.00

00:42:04.600 She's a political animal. 1.00

00:42:06.280 I mean,

00:42:06.400 she was created

00:42:07.140 in an environment

00:42:09.360 of politics.

00:42:10.040 She's been in politics

00:42:10.840 her whole life.

00:42:12.160 Then she went

00:42:12.700 a little too far.

00:42:13.380 Here's what she said

00:42:14.100 about Roe v. Wade.

00:42:15.560 As a deeply

00:42:16.260 religious person,

00:42:17.180 it's also unchristian.

00:42:19.500 So she's saying,

00:42:20.740 she goes on and on

00:42:22.040 in the interview,

00:42:22.520 but that's all

00:42:22.860 you need to hear.

00:42:23.700 She says,

00:42:24.680 as a deeply religious person,

00:42:26.720 it would be unchristian

00:42:27.900 to outlaw abortion.

00:42:30.080 There are plenty

00:42:30.880 of people

00:42:31.260 who are Christian

00:42:31.900 who support abortion 0.86

00:42:33.620 in spite of their faith.

00:42:35.560 I think almost half

00:42:36.340 of American Catholics

00:42:37.200 support abortion,

00:42:38.180 even though their faith

00:42:38.840 clearly says

00:42:39.580 that abortion 1.00

00:42:40.320 is gravely immoral

00:42:41.540 and intrinsically evil.

00:42:43.920 Okay.

00:42:44.920 Some people do that.

00:42:45.800 Some people have

00:42:46.560 a complicated view

00:42:47.440 of theology.

00:42:48.240 They're on a spiritual journey.

00:42:49.600 They haven't gotten there yet.

00:42:50.860 That's fine.

00:42:51.560 Look,

00:42:51.880 I went from atheist

00:42:52.800 to Catholic

00:42:53.900 to a Christian revert

00:42:56.360 over a number of years.

00:42:58.960 And it doesn't happen

00:42:59.620 all at once.

00:43:00.200 It kind of,

00:43:00.500 okay,

00:43:00.880 that's fine.

00:43:01.460 But to pretend

00:43:02.360 that your support 1.00

00:43:04.220 for killing little babies 1.00

00:43:05.360 comes from your Christian faith 1.00

00:43:06.720 is outrageous. 0.99

00:43:08.400 That is awful.

00:43:09.380 And that is really,

00:43:10.340 really a terrible thing.

00:43:12.540 She should be called out for it.

00:43:13.700 Matt Walsh called her out for it

00:43:15.280 and I think she responded to him.

00:43:16.700 You know,

00:43:17.240 it is,

00:43:18.620 that is a step too far.

00:43:20.060 You know,

00:43:20.500 it's one thing to,

00:43:23.220 we see this a lot

00:43:24.360 in the breakdown of the church.

00:43:25.500 We see this a lot

00:43:26.020 in the breakdown

00:43:26.360 of American politics.

00:43:27.600 It's one thing to say,

00:43:29.000 I understand that there is

00:43:30.040 a moral order

00:43:30.700 and I'm violating it.

00:43:32.560 And I'm doing it

00:43:33.440 because I'm a weak

00:43:33.980 and broken person,

00:43:34.940 but I still acknowledge

00:43:36.540 that there is a moral order.

00:43:38.220 That's one thing.

00:43:39.240 It's a totally different thing

00:43:40.400 to say.

00:43:40.940 There's no moral order.

00:43:42.660 Good is bad.

00:43:43.400 Up is down.

00:43:44.300 War is peace. 0.96

00:43:45.000 Murder is great. 0.66

00:43:46.480 That's a total,

00:43:47.240 that is much more pernicious.

00:43:49.020 Even if you're doing

00:43:50.000 the exact same thing,

00:43:51.660 to deny the very essence

00:43:53.780 of an order,

00:43:54.440 of a political

00:43:54.880 or of a moral order,

00:43:56.040 that is much, much worse.

00:43:57.260 It's much more dangerous.

00:43:58.380 That's the territory

00:43:59.120 that the left is moving into.

00:44:00.580 When her mother

00:44:01.200 ran for president in 2008,

00:44:02.560 she said abortion

00:44:03.120 should be safe, legal, and rare.

00:44:04.720 Now,

00:44:05.420 Chelsea Clinton is saying

00:44:06.340 abortion is a great thing 0.98

00:44:07.520 and it's very Christian.

00:44:08.940 That is a huge shift.

00:44:10.100 And this is where heresy

00:44:11.420 creeps in in religion

00:44:12.800 and this is where

00:44:13.940 our constitutional order

00:44:15.180 is seriously undermined

00:44:16.720 and broken down.

00:44:17.660 When people undercut

00:44:18.840 the very doctrines,

00:44:20.520 the very philosophical premises

00:44:22.200 and institutions

00:44:23.420 that undergird our country,

00:44:24.640 this brings us

00:44:25.260 in the last few minutes

00:44:26.060 to Constitution Day.

00:44:28.120 On this day in history,

00:44:29.320 in 1787,

00:44:30.860 our wonderful Constitution

00:44:32.480 was signed.

00:44:34.640 It's a great thing.

00:44:35.880 You can see I'm wearing my tie,

00:44:37.100 my Constitution Day tie.

00:44:38.100 Okay, so we don't need

00:44:40.780 to give a lecture

00:44:41.260 on the Constitution

00:44:42.200 because if you're watching

00:44:43.720 or listening to this show,

00:44:44.620 you probably know a lot

00:44:45.260 about the Constitution.

00:44:46.760 Unfortunately,

00:44:47.580 most people in America

00:44:48.600 don't know very much

00:44:49.420 about the Constitution.

00:44:50.660 There was a poll out

00:44:51.300 from the Annenberg Public Policy Center

00:44:52.900 out of the University of Pennsylvania

00:44:54.120 which shows that

00:44:55.660 of all Americans,

00:44:57.320 37% cannot name

00:44:59.500 a single right

00:45:00.280 protected by the First Amendment.

00:45:02.420 First Amendment

00:45:02.880 protects multiple rights.

00:45:04.520 Free speech,

00:45:05.400 free assembly,

00:45:06.240 no establishment of religion,

00:45:07.280 right?

00:45:08.320 They can't name one.

00:45:11.040 Three quarters of Americans

00:45:12.420 cannot name

00:45:13.880 all three branches

00:45:14.680 of our government,

00:45:15.700 the executive,

00:45:16.420 the legislature,

00:45:17.100 and the judiciary.

00:45:18.000 One third of Americans

00:45:18.920 can't name any branch

00:45:20.080 of our government.

00:45:21.260 Which is pretty crazy

00:45:22.060 because all we talk about

00:45:22.980 now is the president.

00:45:24.040 They can't even name

00:45:25.040 one of them.

00:45:26.740 This is a scary thing

00:45:28.000 because our Constitution

00:45:28.840 is a wonderful document.

00:45:30.460 It's a great piece of paper.

00:45:31.920 It sets up

00:45:32.760 a terrific government,

00:45:34.460 the greatest nation

00:45:35.480 certainly in the modern era,

00:45:37.300 probably in the history

00:45:38.060 of the world.

00:45:39.500 But if you don't know it,

00:45:41.900 if you don't know

00:45:42.540 about your Constitution,

00:45:43.480 if you don't know

00:45:43.980 about your government,

00:45:44.860 if you don't know

00:45:45.360 about the institutions

00:45:46.420 created and described

00:45:48.240 by the Constitution,

00:45:49.740 it's not going to exist

00:45:50.580 very long.

00:45:51.300 Freedom isn't passed

00:45:52.020 in the bloodstream.

00:45:53.080 It's only one generation 0.96

00:45:54.000 away from extinction,

00:45:54.840 as Ronald Reagan

00:45:55.420 used to say.

00:45:56.460 And we're talking now,

00:45:58.040 coincidentally on Constitution Day,

00:45:59.820 about a new

00:46:01.520 Supreme Court justice

00:46:02.280 who's going to go

00:46:03.700 to the court

00:46:04.120 and interpret

00:46:05.480 the Constitution,

00:46:06.520 hopefully defend

00:46:07.060 the Constitution

00:46:07.620 against other judges

00:46:08.760 who want to undermine

00:46:09.580 the Constitution.

00:46:10.980 And now there are

00:46:12.960 these crazy allegations 0.95

00:46:13.940 that he's a monster, 0.98

00:46:16.240 he's a, 0.93

00:46:17.100 35 years ago,

00:46:18.300 he groped a girl

00:46:18.960 or something.

00:46:19.660 Okay.

00:46:21.560 The allegations

00:46:22.460 are not credible,

00:46:24.340 but even if they were,

00:46:26.300 we also have to remember

00:46:27.340 that men are not angels.

00:46:28.540 And this was what

00:46:30.920 Alexander Hamilton

00:46:31.920 described about

00:46:33.560 our Constitution.

00:46:34.700 He said,

00:46:35.100 quote,

00:46:35.520 If men were angels,

00:46:36.680 no government

00:46:37.420 would be necessary.

00:46:38.900 If angels were to

00:46:39.760 govern men,

00:46:40.700 neither external

00:46:41.540 nor internal controls

00:46:42.760 on government

00:46:43.440 would be necessary.

00:46:45.100 In framing a government

00:46:46.300 which is to be administered

00:46:47.300 by men over men,

00:46:49.160 the great difficulty

00:46:50.160 lies in this.

00:46:51.400 You must first enable

00:46:52.700 the government

00:46:53.200 to control the governed

00:46:54.300 and in the next place

00:46:55.820 oblige it to control

00:46:57.260 itself.

00:46:59.320 Men are not angels.

00:47:00.520 We're not governed

00:47:01.340 by angels.

00:47:02.280 There are bad guys

00:47:03.260 who govern us.

00:47:04.200 I think Brett Kavanaugh

00:47:04.940 is probably on the

00:47:06.140 very good end

00:47:07.840 of men who govern us.

00:47:10.340 Some other people

00:47:11.240 might have a little

00:47:11.860 spottier past.

00:47:12.980 You know,

00:47:13.260 I'm not calling out

00:47:14.040 our president at the moment,

00:47:15.140 but he's got a little more

00:47:15.980 of a checkered personal history

00:47:17.280 than someone like

00:47:19.540 Judge Kavanaugh.

00:47:20.460 Okay.

00:47:21.460 The guard rails hold.

00:47:23.260 The government was set up

00:47:24.720 because we're not

00:47:25.900 a nation of men.

00:47:26.940 Our nation doesn't rise

00:47:28.040 and fall depending

00:47:28.660 on the men

00:47:29.060 who are running it.

00:47:30.180 We're a nation of laws,

00:47:31.420 but we need to understand

00:47:32.260 those laws.

00:47:32.680 We have to understand

00:47:33.340 our own system

00:47:34.040 of government.

00:47:34.940 John Adams said

00:47:35.560 that the Constitution

00:47:36.220 is built for a moral

00:47:37.240 and religious people

00:47:38.160 and it's unfit

00:47:39.140 to govern anybody else.

00:47:40.760 We're seeing a huge

00:47:41.660 decline in religiosity

00:47:43.540 among people.

00:47:44.260 We're seeing a huge

00:47:44.840 decline in knowledge

00:47:45.820 of our country.

00:47:47.300 And when that happens,

00:47:48.920 forget about the people

00:47:49.820 governing us.

00:47:50.500 Think about the people

00:47:51.200 who are being governed.

00:47:52.100 When we don't know

00:47:54.180 our country anymore,

00:47:55.100 when we don't know

00:47:55.700 our Constitution,

00:47:56.440 when we can't discipline

00:47:57.180 ourselves,

00:47:57.940 when we can't govern

00:47:59.440 ourselves,

00:48:00.680 no piece of paper

00:48:01.460 is going to protect us.

00:48:02.540 No piece of paper

00:48:03.320 is going to help.

00:48:04.740 We can have as many

00:48:05.740 Tea Party rallies

00:48:06.460 as we want.

00:48:07.240 We can go out there

00:48:07.800 and say,

00:48:08.060 this is a great document.

00:48:09.260 You should read my tie.

00:48:10.440 Read it.

00:48:11.300 It won't matter

00:48:12.140 because the people

00:48:14.560 have to understand

00:48:15.660 their government.

00:48:16.800 They have to be educated

00:48:17.880 in it.

00:48:18.220 They need to be citizens.

00:48:19.500 Being a citizen

00:48:20.060 is not a passive activity.

00:48:21.840 You know,

00:48:22.220 it's not just bread

00:48:23.000 and circuses

00:48:23.620 and being entertained.

00:48:24.400 You have to participate

00:48:25.220 in your government

00:48:25.860 if you're going to

00:48:26.760 govern yourself.

00:48:27.320 And if you're unwilling

00:48:28.000 to participate,

00:48:28.800 unwilling to educate yourself,

00:48:30.200 unwilling to discipline yourself,

00:48:31.720 then someone is going

00:48:32.500 to run your life for you.

00:48:33.600 That's the debate

00:48:34.200 that we're having right now.

00:48:35.400 I hope that we'll be speaking

00:48:37.500 on next year's

00:48:38.640 Constitution Day 0.99

00:48:39.460 and things will be looking

00:48:40.560 even better.

00:48:41.440 But who knows?

00:48:41.940 It's up to us.

00:48:42.460 It's up to us to decide

00:48:43.320 what kind of country

00:48:44.300 we want to have.

00:48:44.920 Okay, that's our show.

00:48:45.840 We ran late, as usual.

00:48:47.480 I'll be back.
