1 00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:18,920 Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong with Molly Hemingway and 2 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,760 David Harsani. Just a reminder, if you'd like to email the show with 3 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,480 your comments, requests, angry notes, please do so at radio at the 4 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440 Federalist dot com. We'd like to hear from you. We'd like to hear 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,079 from you as well. Molly, how's it going. It's going great. 6 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,200 And it occurred to me that probably starting in like a month or so, 7 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:43,759 we might do one or two radio listener comment shows. So get your questions 8 00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:47,520 in now. We actually have a ton that we could probably just work with. 9 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,679 But for us to answer on a week that David and I are both 10 00:00:53,759 --> 00:01:00,880 unable to tape a fresh podcast, Yeah, we did that during Christmas break, 11 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,319 I think, and it was I thought somewhat of a success. People 12 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:11,560 have lots of interesting questions. Do you think they're questioning why we have Hamas 13 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:19,239 terrorists taking over the sympathizers taking over our campuses. Do you think that that's 14 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,879 something that appeals to normal Americans that listen to our show or something that discussed 15 00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,920 them. Well, that seems like a leading question, David, But it 16 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,319 is interesting that we are at the place this is sort of where the social 17 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,840 justice movement has brought us. It has been through quite a bit of carnage 18 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,239 and wreckage of American institutions, and it is reaching what is really a predictable 19 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:47,799 end of anti semitism. Okay, I just I feel like the language we're 20 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:51,799 using for all of this has not been serving us well, and so and 21 00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:57,040 also this is a bit of throat clearing I have to do, but I 22 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,920 think it really does require being said. Policy differences are absolutely okay for debate, 23 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,000 and people have the right to protest. You might not like what they're 24 00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:10,479 protesting about, you might really hate what they're protesting about, you might strongly 25 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:17,919 disagree, but you absolutely have a fundamental, natural right to argue for a 26 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,360 policy that you support, or to oppose, or to fight against a policy 27 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,080 you oppose, and that is really important that we protect that in this country. 28 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,039 And some of what I've heard have been even like people on the right 29 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,520 being like, this is hate speech, and hate speech is a made up 30 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,199 thing that's not real, and making people feel uncomfortable or making people feel fear 31 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,120 is such a nebulous measure by which to judge something that you just really should 32 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:49,240 avoid that type of language. At the same time, I have been super 33 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:57,039 annoyed with people acting like barring entry to public campus space is of some students 34 00:02:57,039 --> 00:02:59,919 but not others, is a free speech issue. That's not a free speech 35 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,360 that's activity that is almost certainly prohibited and can even be viewed as false imprisonment. 36 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,560 You know, you saw some of these videos of them not letting Jewish 37 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,680 students walk in certain parts of the campus that they have every legal right to 38 00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:17,960 be in, and taking over buildings and breaking windows like all that stuff is 39 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,960 not protected speech. Yeah, well it's obvious, but I just feel like 40 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,919 it still needs to be Like both the right of the students to advocate for 41 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:36,960 even for Hamas, yes, is protected. Running taking encampments, taking over 42 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,080 campuses like that, that's not necessarily protected. So I agree with everything you 43 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:46,680 just said. You're allowed to be pro Hamas. You don't even have to 44 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,400 be pro policy. You can just be an anti semit that's a protected speech. 45 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,680 There's no such thing as hate speech, just hateful speech maybe, but 46 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:57,759 that's subjective most of the time. However, there is this idea I think 47 00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:02,080 that people have lately, and it goes across the board. Seems to me, 48 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,400 is that just because you have the right to speech means you have the 49 00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:09,919 right to be anywhere and say anything, meaning I don't have We don't at 50 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,759 the federalists have to host you if you're going to be pro abortion just because 51 00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:16,680 you have an opinion. And Columbia University, a private institution, has its 52 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,519 own rules, and you don't just get to shut down a school or create 53 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,720 an encampment in the middle of the school forever, or take over a building. 54 00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:28,279 And I think you agree with this simply because you have an opinion. 55 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,519 Now, I would hope that schools would give as much leeway they can to 56 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,160 people to have a voice, you know, want to protest and have a 57 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,040 voice. But they warned people at Columbia for days to shut it down because 58 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:45,600 they've been going on and on intimidating other students, shutting down the school, 59 00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:48,120 you know, that's what is it? Seventy k to go to that school 60 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,319 a year, I mean, and then they have to go and and ticket 61 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:56,560 down. So I think it's kind of funny that they started camping in April 62 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:03,600 and not right away on October eight, because it's so nice to camp in 63 00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:09,079 April and May. Those are really good months to be camping. Outside in 64 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:15,000 tents that are very nice quality provided by Democrat donor groups like that's an who 65 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,600 I like camp I love camping in temperate climate. I wish these kids would 66 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,800 have been camping in December and January over there Christmas break, you know, 67 00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:29,920 over their spring break, but still cold. Why did we not see that? 68 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,480 I don't know. I don't know. Isn't this kind of a problem 69 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,600 that will take care of itself in about two weeks when school is out. 70 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,199 Yeah it will because they won't be there, But that doesn't mean that there 71 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,240 won't be. I think that there will be some kind of leftists organization summer 72 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,800 of violence. Yeah, that will. That will that will get it going. 73 00:05:54,879 --> 00:05:57,279 I just don't think it has the same resonance with the people in the 74 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,600 meaning like BLM could appeal to even and people of good faith it might have 75 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,160 who don't really pay attention. It can appeal to your you know, sense 76 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,079 of justice. You know there's there are there's racism, cops will shooting, 77 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:12,920 you know, whatever it was. But I don't think that this has the 78 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,639 same kind I think most Americans view people who were who wear you know, 79 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:19,639 who cover their face and act like you know, cossplay terrorists. You're so 80 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,959 excited to say something are going to have the same kind of appeal to any 81 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,560 kind of you know, mainstream American voter. This is what enrages me. 82 00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:32,600 Okay, both of these movements are built on lies. One. You know, 83 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,439 the first lies were about the United States and about cops, you know, 84 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:44,319 flat out lying about the relationships between cops and black men and inserting it 85 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,439 into the minds like a virus of millions of young people, that cops are 86 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,279 evil and that they must be fought at all things. And like riots broke 87 00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:58,399 out nationwide by the way, nobody cared, nobody squashed them, Nobody did 88 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:03,040 anything. While cities burned and people were killed, and corporations handed over one 89 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,600 hundred billion dollars in racist programming money. Nobody did a thing. And now 90 00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:13,040 there are lies about Israel, and they're lying. They're the same lies. 91 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,319 By the way. Some people are oppressors and some people are oppressed, and 92 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,439 everything needs to be viewed through this prism of oppressor versus oppressed and victim, 93 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:27,279 you know, versus oppressor, and they're lies. Nobody fights the lies and 94 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,360 then they're shocked at the outcome. I think it's just as insidious to say 95 00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:36,759 that America is an evil country. Well more insidious to say that America is 96 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,519 an evil country than that Israel is an evil country. Like, I don't 97 00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:46,879 get why it's so special now. When people were cheering it on the media, 98 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,720 we're cheering it on in twenty twenty. Corporations were funding it. Every 99 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:58,439 Democrat member of Congress was cheering it on. So were people like Mitt Romney. 100 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,759 You know, so we're all the never Trump classes. When Trump was 101 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:07,399 fighting against some of this social justice stuff of tearing down statues, Mitch McConnell 102 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,639 egged it on, Like, I'm a little perplexed. Why now that it's 103 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,839 Israel, everybody's like, oh, this is bad. That's been bad. 104 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:20,399 It's been really, really really bad for a lot of Americans, and Jewish 105 00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:24,439 students are very scared and they are not feeling free on campus. And that 106 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,879 is a bad thing, and it was a bad thing, is a bad 107 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,159 thing that that same thing is true of so many other students and so many 108 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,600 other children of Americans, Like, why do what's so special now? I 109 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240 think that you're I think that what I said is different. I'm not saying 110 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,399 that you're wrong with the facts. I'm saying that. One of them is 111 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,120 it's easier to manipulate people when you think about and tell them that there's this 112 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,080 systemic racism going on and they don't want to be part of it, and 113 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,200 they're not paying close attention to what's really going on, and it's easier to 114 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,919 manipulate and blackmail them than when you're wearing terror's garb been yelling you know, 115 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,519 no Zionists on campus. It's just a little more obvious, I think, 116 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,679 and it's you know, then the BLM stuff was initially I think people have 117 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,279 caught up, probably caught on with that. We'll see, Yeah, I 118 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,759 actually do wonder if part of it is that people feel embarrassed that they fell 119 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,279 for the previous social justice info op and they're kind of like, we're not 120 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:22,759 going to let that happen again, and so they're reacting very strongly to this. 121 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,759 You travel a lot, you go to school, you speak to students 122 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:31,559 schools. Do you think that this is kind of like a major problem at 123 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,639 schools predominantly? Are they just I know that the professors and the administrators are 124 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:39,879 all left wingers, but do you think that in general there's just like this 125 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,679 pro identitarian, pro hamas pro sort of whatever sentiment amongst students or is it 126 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:50,600 just like a small minority making a lot of noise. No, I think 127 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:54,679 it's pretty I think it's pretty pronounced. And it's when you think about when 128 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,759 we went to school or I don't know where, what it was like at 129 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,679 your college, but mine's certainly was beholden to identity politics, particularly like Chicano 130 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:11,360 issues. They're in Colorado, as the groups liked to call themselves, and 131 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,679 identity politics was just was just a really big thing. They were even pro 132 00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:20,200 Palestinian things at that time. But now we have much more control of the 133 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240 universities at the faculty level by some of these people. It was already bad, 134 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:26,679 but now it's much worse. Colombia is a great example of it. 135 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:35,039 They have gone out of their way to staff up with these colonizing anti colonists 136 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:41,879 and racist anti racists who have been indoctrinating the students in their hateful way of 137 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:45,879 thinking, and they are bearing the fruits of it right now. But you 138 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,519 mentioned like this leftist on leftist violence, that's the I think. I'm kind 139 00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:52,840 of like, why are the rest why are the rest of Americans America need 140 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:58,519 to get involved? Like let the left bury their own you know, they're 141 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,039 fighting their dealing with the consequences of their own bad decisions, like let them 142 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,480 handle it. Yeah, I agree with that, but there is there is 143 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,519 a problem with it because as soon as even as this is going on, 144 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:15,279 Biden is forgiving student loans, I mean, taxpayers back every student loan, 145 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,799 which makes Colombia possible. They have a sixteen billion dollar endowment, which is 146 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,679 just a big hedge fund, and yet we have to back every loan for 147 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,159 Let me give you read you something real quick. There's a teacher there, 148 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,679 professor named Mohammad Abdu. This is this is how he describes himself rohamas anarchist, 149 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,480 interdisciplinary activist, scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race, and Islamic 150 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:43,159 studies as well as gender, sexuality, abolition and decolonization. Now, this 151 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,200 is a person who teaches at that school. And by the way, you 152 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,639 know who else used to teach it or yeah, I used to teach at 153 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,720 Columbia's Kathy Boden. It was a weather what were they called the weatherman, 154 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,320 mother of Chasa Bowden who yeah, just a terrorist guy, yeah, who 155 00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,840 is involved in the murder. I believe of more than and cop. Wasn't 156 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:09,559 it security guards? It was a bank robbery. Good friends with Obama people, 157 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,519 and we are living in President Obama's Democrat Party. I mean, that's 158 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:15,360 what I just want to say. And now you have I know you have 159 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:18,679 stuff to add. I just want to say, weather underground that weather men. 160 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:26,639 Sorry. Barack Obama reshaped the Democrat Party into this racist identity politics party, 161 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,799 and it is completely beholden to that. And if people want to reject 162 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,320 what is happening to Jewish students on campus, that's good, but they need 163 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,440 to reject the entire thing. If Jewish Americans are upset about what Jewish American 164 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:48,200 kids are going through, they need to have They need to realize like they 165 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,960 ered by allowing it to happen for so many years, if not decades from 166 00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:01,120 their copartisans, largely when other kids were being horribly treated on campus, or 167 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,320 not being given good educations, or being you know, subjected to this race 168 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:13,000 hatred, identity politics, hateful ideology of the left. You know who's going 169 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:20,279 to give the commencement address at Columbia this year, Kristin Clark. So did 170 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,759 you hear the news about Kristin Clark? She heads up the office of Civil 171 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:26,799 Rights at the Department of Justice. Did you hear did you see Mary Margaret 172 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:33,799 Olahan's scoop that she was that she had lied to Congress that scoop. Yeah, 173 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:39,480 So she had been asked in her hearings whether she'd ever been arrested or 174 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:45,519 accused of violence, and she said that she had not. And the fact 175 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:54,080 is that she was according to police documents and texts texts from her ex husband, 176 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,559 she was taken into custody after she allegedly knifed her husband and she caught 177 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,600 him having an affair and that was expunged. And so there's some debate about 178 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,240 whether expungement means you can lie about whether you'd ever been accused of a crime 179 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,720 or not. But it's pretty explosive news, you know, you think about. 180 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:18,279 Like Also, the other thing that was interesting about Mary Margaret Olahan's report 181 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,840 at the Daily Signal was that her ex husband was never interviewed by the FBI 182 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,559 when they did her background check. And I bring this up because when Brett 183 00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:37,799 Kavanaugh went through some extreme like extremely invasive background checks, I think there were 184 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,960 six total that were done where multiple people were interviewed, you know, across 185 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:46,519 multiple years. Democrats were upset that more wasn't done, and it appears to 186 00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,320 this woman was not vetted at all, even though she's in a very sensitive, 187 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,279 very important position at the Department of Justice, and they never interviewed her 188 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:05,200 ex husband, who she allegedly deeply cut with a knife. And it's just 189 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,759 very interesting. She hasn't responded to questions. But she is a radical, 190 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:15,159 and she is leading efforts to fight pro lifers and imprison them and go after, 191 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,039 you know, just go after different groups that do not support her pro 192 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,799 abortion agenda. She's using the federal government Justice Harman as a political goon squad, 193 00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:31,960 basically arresting peaceful actual peaceful abortion activist, going after anyone who disagreed, 194 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,080 you know, disagrees with the administration, you know, if she can. 195 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,639 But I just want to quickly mention that's not the only thing she lied to 196 00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:41,639 Congress about. She lied about the letter she wrote, you know, the 197 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,720 racist letter she wrote. She said it was it was in relation to this 198 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,399 book called The Bell Curve. Older people know about that, but the she 199 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,399 said it was satire, which was all complete and utter lie because at the 200 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,279 time the Harvard editors noted that it was a racist letter. No one mentioned 201 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:02,080 anything about satire. And then I don't know if you know this, she 202 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,080 wrote a Newsweek op ed in like twenty twenty that was headlined, I prosecuted 203 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,000 police killings. Defund the police, but be strategic, and they asked her, 204 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,159 did you want to defund the police, and she says she never wanted 205 00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:17,399 to defund the police, even though right in the column itself it says, 206 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,960 we have to defund the police. Yeah, So she just basically lies and 207 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,519 gets away got away with it. I don't know what the vote was on 208 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:30,080 that, but and I generally, I know this is somewhat controversial, and 209 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,320 maybe I'm changing my mind on it, but I generally think administrations should have 210 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,960 people manning places, you know, manning positions that they want, unless that 211 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,639 person is corrupt or lies to Congress, and I think that she qualifies. 212 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:47,080 But anyway, so she's in this racist that's in charge of civil rights in 213 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,120 the country, enforcing civil rights, and that's where we are. It's like 214 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,639 she's a I want to mention, she's like a perfect example of kind of 215 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,240 the Ivy leade. She went to Harvard, the Ivy League, mediocrity, 216 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,919 the credentialed nit wits that we send out into the world who now run things. 217 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,319 So these folks you see at Columbia, and not one of them is 218 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,160 going to be expelled. They'll all be back next year no matter what they 219 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,640 did. They're going to be running institutions in this country. And that is 220 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:15,279 just should be scary to everyone, not just Jewish students, but every American. 221 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:19,920 And that's why I think it does matter. Christin Clark, who's imprisoning 222 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:26,799 Joe Biden's political opponents in her role, will be giving the commencement at Columbia. 223 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,200 Is that what you said? I believe, so, yeah, that's 224 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:37,079 you know, totally expected. But also I just think the whole higher ed 225 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:44,359 system needs to be blown up. It's just the way metaphorically metaphorically the kind 226 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,319 of money and now you know, it's a I wrote about this, but 227 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:51,680 it's just a gigantic moral hazard that you can just go to school without any 228 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,400 taking any responsibility for the loans you take, for the things you learn. 229 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:59,839 The schools have feel no responsibility to create good citizens, to send them out 230 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,240 and the world to do productive things. I just don't even think anyone unless 231 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,680 they're doing a hard science and even there it's infected with this kind of ridiculous 232 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,960 wokeism, and it just gibberish. I just don't even know how someone and 233 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,920 you know, can go could pay that much money to send their kids to 234 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,720 one of these schools. It's just you might as well just burn that money. 235 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:26,319 It would be more productive. Sure, there are two things. There're 236 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:32,039 one, if you're not receiving an actual classical liberal education, it really isn't 237 00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:36,000 worth it to go to college, I would say, unless, like you 238 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,279 point out, there's a very specific field or some kind where you can navigate 239 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:42,880 that. But also, don't you think part of the issue here is that 240 00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:47,960 like cutter funds, some of these universities, Oh my god, a lot 241 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:56,240 of the funding comes from places like that or terrorists enabling States nine. So 242 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,799 Northwestern, which gave in like protests, took over some whatever they did, 243 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,200 they negotiated with them, which is just it reminds me of like the New 244 00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:07,160 York Times, where you let like the mob run the paper, you know 245 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,400 what I mean, You're like the mob run the school. They're supposed to 246 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,799 be teaching these kids, and they're giving into their demands. Whatever it was. 247 00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,640 Northwestern Tate took over the whatever amount of years. I'm not exaggerating over 248 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:26,319 six hundred million dollars kutar So is it qutar or qatar? It's a guitar. 249 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,119 No, I'm not gonna do that. So I do I mean, 250 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,119 are I like you know, another aspect of this, I couldn't believe it. 251 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,039 I don't have the exact numbers in front of me. But at Columbia, 252 00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:45,000 thirteen thousand of like thirty thousand students are here on foreign student visas. 253 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,160 You're talking about like third of the students, and six thousand something of them 254 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,519 were from China. Now, honestly, I think probably most of those kids 255 00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:59,720 are going for stem degrees and things like that, to be fair, But 256 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,559 if you see one of these kids out there, you know, you know, 257 00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:10,359 disrupting class, intimidating Jewish students, taking over buildings, we should we 258 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,960 should just take their viewss away, don't you think? Like a no brainer? 259 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:22,680 Yeah? The reason they have foreigns and worry that it's it could be 260 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,200 a liberal white women they're running this rather than any For instance, did you 261 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:33,160 see that woman who so these kids took over Hamilton Hall in uh Columbia, 262 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,480 you know where Alexander Hamilton went to school. And so it's named after him. 263 00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:40,799 So they took it over and they were like, you know, they 264 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,119 like smash windows, intimidated, like the janitorial crew, you know, real 265 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,400 working people took over the building and they're you know, they're an Ivy League 266 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,200 school, so they're super smart people. But they forgot to bring food and 267 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:59,039 water. So this woman's out there begging says they need humanitarian aid given to 268 00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:02,079 them, and it hit that if there will be a civil war, I 269 00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:03,759 think we're going to win this. This is one of the things that I've 270 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:11,200 really loved seeing during these times of campus unrest in support of Hamas. And 271 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,920 you've seen some other students come in and do really good engagement with the speech, 272 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:23,920 like you saw at UCLA where a donor gave money for airing the atrocities 273 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,799 of October seventh, right next to where they were doing their encampment. That's 274 00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:33,319 good. You've also seen some you know, pro Israel students just going out 275 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,839 there and having a really good time engaging with these people. And I think 276 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,119 the big problem isn't that there's an encampment, even though that's obviously illicit activity. 277 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,519 It's that these students have these ideas in the first place, social justice 278 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,799 Mania is on a complete collision course with the existence of the state of Israel 279 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,759 and with the United States of America. The two cannot they cannot coexist, 280 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:03,000 right, So you have to actually engage and fight and win the argument. 281 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,960 And I have been loving seeing how some of these brave students who are like 282 00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:11,759 dealing with people who want to see them dead, just going out and having 283 00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:15,119 fun, engaging with them and shouting them down. There was this guy at 284 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Columbia. We just kept being like, most of you are ugly, you 285 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,440 have no friends, You are you know, sad losers, and you know 286 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:26,759 that might be mean, but it was It was charming in its own way. 287 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,680 There's another aspect of this with these protesters, and I saw some of 288 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,839 the faculty members at Columbia acting asking for amnesty. They were nervous that this 289 00:22:36,319 --> 00:22:41,480 like stuff would follow the kids along, Like there are many people in American 290 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:47,839 history who are protested or you know, acted in defiance of authority for for 291 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,400 good purposes, not bad ones. MLKJU and you're even the founding fathers, 292 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,039 and they knew that they could be consequences and serious ones for what they were 293 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:59,799 doing. That's part of what this is about. But these spoiled brats think 294 00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:03,640 they can do whatever they want and there should be zero consequences. They mask 295 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,319 themselves. They don't want they want amnesty. When they get kicked out of 296 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:10,039 school, they cry about it, like, if you're going to act this 297 00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:14,640 way, be prepared consequences. That's what adult happens in the adult world. 298 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,480 It's also why real schools shouldn't just do like light punishment or suspensions. They 299 00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:26,279 need to do permanent expulsions. Permanent expulsions deal with the problem. It doesn't 300 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,480 deal with the problem that UT Austin just found out about, which is that 301 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,839 I think a majority of the people they arrested for their campus unrest had literally 302 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,559 no affiliation with UT Austin whatsoever. So it doesn't take care of outside agitators. 303 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:41,759 But it does make sure, in fact that if you have inside agitators, 304 00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:47,440 that they are willing to deal with pretty severe consequences for illicit activity. 305 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,720 Can I just think one other thing though, that really bothers me about on 306 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:57,599 the content issue again, I think it is completely okay in a constitutional sense 307 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:03,200 to have a policy disagreement about support for Israel or even about the existence of 308 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:10,920 Israel. This is obviously completely first Amendment protected activity. I find it extremely 309 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:15,400 suspicious that there is no anti war movement when it comes to the war in 310 00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:22,799 Ukraine, none whatsoever. And there was an immediate anti war movement when it 311 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,279 came not to what Hamas did to Israel, but Israel's response to what Hamas 312 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,440 did to Israel. That's pretty suspicious, right. It's not like it's an 313 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,319 actual anti war movement. It's not like they're saying, hey, Hamas, 314 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:40,440 give up all your hostages right now, and Israel stop bombarding Gaza. Nope, 315 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,519 it's just Israel, stop bombarding Gaza. And by the way, Ukraine, 316 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:47,920 Russia, we don't care about you, and we don't care about looming 317 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,839 threats in China or any other war that's on the face of the earth. 318 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:55,079 It's just that one, and it's just that side. Isn't that interesting and 319 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,640 very weird? What do you think that's about. They're about as anti war 320 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,279 as they are pro free speech. It's funny that this campus stuff has sort 321 00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:10,400 of taken the Trump courthouse, the court case Midtown, off the out of 322 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,680 the news. But I also think that this is the worst case imaginable against 323 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:21,039 Trump. So starting the whole law fair process with this trial has convinced a 324 00:25:21,039 --> 00:25:26,240 lot of people who normally are antagonistic towards Trump that it's just a politically motivated 325 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,960 issue. What do you think, I don't know. I mean, first 326 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,480 off, the whole point of this is to secure a quick and easy conviction 327 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:37,839 before election day. It's not to have decent charges, it's not to run 328 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,160 a proper trial, it's not to be fair. It's just to secure I 329 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,279 mean put in the show and show trials. It's to secure a quick and 330 00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:51,680 easy conviction. And I realized that there's like a one percent chance that doesn't 331 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,200 happen, but there's a ninety nine percent chance it does. So it's working 332 00:25:55,279 --> 00:26:00,359 according to plan. Further, Donald Trump on Wednesday is campaigning Wisconsin and Michigan, 333 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:07,480 which is interesting because he's not able to campaign otherwise because he's being kept 334 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,519 in a courtroom. This is a huge, massive gift to Democrats. Like 335 00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:17,519 one of the big differences between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is that Donald Trump 336 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,039 is capable of campaigning heavily and Joe Biden is unable to shuffle his way to 337 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,839 Marine Force one. But if you keep one guy in the courtroom and you 338 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,359 play up that it's cold in there, you know, because he's always talking 339 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,839 about how it's cold in there, and you just keep him trapped in a 340 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,279 courtroom. All of a sudden, it doesn't seem so different between Joe Biden 341 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,880 who gets to be president and Donald Trump, who gets to be Alexander Naval 342 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,000 need by Joe Biden, Like it's I think people can kind of cope their 343 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:51,039 way into thinking things are better than they are. Obviously, Americans are not 344 00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:55,599 happy with Democrat hatred and law fair, That's clear. They do not view 345 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,519 these as legitimate. That's clear. There's a difference between like American and a 346 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,000 jury in New York and a jury in New York ninety percent Democrat is preparing 347 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:11,039 to convict someone on totally made up charges of non crimes. Yeah, I 348 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,799 was talking about normal voting Americans. I don't think they're going to care about 349 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,960 this conviction because I don't even think they understand what the charges are. Because 350 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,559 the charges, I don't understand what the charges are. They are so ridiculous. 351 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:29,119 Basically, Donald Trump is in trouble for doing something that is completely legal, 352 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:36,440 hush money and campaign agreement and not non disclosure agreements and engaging in contractual 353 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,160 agreements between another person voluntarily both. So I just you know, I don't 354 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,640 buy what you're going to disagree with this, But you know, I've seen 355 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,279 people say that, you know, there's so much bad news out there for 356 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,279 Joe Biden that having Trump like out of the picture in a sense, and 357 00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:55,200 having Joe Biden out there being seen every day with all his failures as far 358 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,079 as the economic stuff goes, really just hurts Biden more than it hurts Trump. 359 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,599 I actually think that might be true. And also because this is a 360 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:07,519 completely corrupt judge, I don't know how that happened. I don't know if 361 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,839 they're all corrupt in New York or if it just like happened to be that 362 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:18,039 a guy whose daughter is literally a Democrat fundraiser, literally who stands to financially 363 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:23,240 benefit from everything her father is doing. He's running a trial where he's allowing 364 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:26,759 things that never should be allowed, which I guess is like a New York 365 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:32,640 tradition now and not doing it. He's like rushing through everything, and I 366 00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:40,279 do think that that and then he's doing the not he's making the defendant stay 367 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:44,759 quiet, he's put a gag order on the defendant. I don't know if 368 00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:49,680 that's like literally ever happened before. I know that sometimes entire cases have gag 369 00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:55,039 orders on them, meaning both sides. I know sometimes like prosecution has to 370 00:28:55,079 --> 00:29:00,559 stay mom to protect the defendant's rights. But the idea that a defendant cannot 371 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:04,039 defend himself publicly while going through a show trial, I mean, I don't 372 00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:08,400 think Putin would do this, Like it's absolutely absurd, and I do I 373 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,640 agree with you. Like when people see it, they're like, wow, 374 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,519 they have turned the Orange Man into a completely sympathetic figure. I mean, 375 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:19,880 both of the New York trials, or both of the New York cases are 376 00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:27,759 mind boggling. The one where Letitia James is going after him for repaying alone 377 00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:32,400 with interest in making everybody happy. I don't even know how to explain it. 378 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,039 Having there's no party aggrieved, there's no one who has a problem with 379 00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,880 what went on. I don't know. I just think it's not hurting him. 380 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:41,480 I don't know what the conviction will mean. Is it's just going to 381 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,039 be a fine probably right? Uh? No, I think he will go 382 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:51,200 to jail. I mean they're threatening him with jail right now for violating the 383 00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:56,720 unconstitutional gag order six thousand dollars. Fine, I think it was for Yeah, 384 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,880 So I do want to say about this Time magazine piece. It was 385 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,559 by this guy who is called how Far? Oh wait, maybe you're thinking 386 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:07,400 about something else I read. I read this write up of a Time magazine 387 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:15,839 piece called how Far Trump would Go? And this left wing propagandist journalist, 388 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:21,039 senior correspondent at Times, Charlotte Alter, who looks like she's twelve, said 389 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:26,599 he wants to deport eleven million immigrants via detention camps and military. He wants 390 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:33,599 to allow Red states to monitor women's pregnancies, and he would fire US attorneys 391 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:37,160 who don't follow his prosecutorial orders. And I was like, okay, So 392 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:42,640 he would return to rule of law on American borders. He would respect the 393 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,799 Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs and on how the US Constitution permits states to handle 394 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:56,279 abortion law, and he would perform constitutional duties with the executive branch he oversees 395 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,400 like. It sounds awful, doesn't it. He is not allowed to name 396 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,160 his own attorney, you know, his own people in the executive branch. 397 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,160 Biden can do that, Biden, you know they can work in concert to 398 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:14,559 have him in courtrooms throughout the election. But here's the thing on the deportations. 399 00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:18,599 Forty two percent of Democrats support deportations. A majority of American support deportations. 400 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,279 I don't know if it's a good idea or not. Honestly, Barack 401 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:26,359 Obama was deporting people. I mean people should be deported one cover. Yeah, 402 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,839 I mean, I don't know if you're going to be able to go 403 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,640 house to house and deport everyone. But people want to get control of the 404 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,599 border. I saw another poll. I think it was the ap pole that 405 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,000 had as the most important issue for voters the border. Like this is what 406 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:42,440 won Trump the election in twenty sixteen. I'm so sure of that, and 407 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,960 I think it's going to win him. You know, he has a good 408 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,960 chance of winning him the next election. I'm not making any predictions. I'm 409 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,839 just saying, but this piece is amazing. It's called if he wins, 410 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:59,960 the one that you just alluded to, where I call it Potemkin journalism is 411 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:06,920 just like scary language saying nothing like he's going to name his own people in 412 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:13,400 his administration, he's going to prosecute, he's going to go after political he's 413 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,720 going to go after political adversaries, which, honestly, I don't even think 414 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,279 he's going to do he. I was thinking about this one actually on the 415 00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:25,559 going after political adversaries. I think to preserve the country, you do have 416 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,640 to hold people accountable for what they have done. I don't know exactly what 417 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:37,279 that means, but we have had Actually there are two completely separate thoughts I 418 00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:40,240 have. One is that we always have had a DOJ that's been fairly independent. 419 00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:45,079 Not always, but we've grown into this idea of having like a DOJ 420 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:49,640 that's somewhat independent from the president. That way he can kind of trust their 421 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,240 legal advice. And it's just been like this very hidden law aspect of the 422 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,279 bureaucracy that's gone fairly well for a lot of people. And Joe Biden has 423 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:01,319 of course blown not all up. You know, he has his number three 424 00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:07,720 guy at DOJ literally doing this Salvin Bragg prosecution out of New York. He's 425 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:10,480 been, you know, telling through the New York Times, telling Merritt Garland 426 00:33:10,519 --> 00:33:15,200 what to do in terms of prosecuting his primary political opponent. And on that 427 00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,519 note, I just want to say, do you remember we did a whole 428 00:33:17,839 --> 00:33:25,640 bleeping impeachment over the gas lighting idea that having a phone call about Biden's corruption 429 00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:30,559 was election interference. Do you remember this? I remember that impeachment. Yes, 430 00:33:30,839 --> 00:33:37,039 that was impeachment phone call about fairly well established Biden family corruption was election 431 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:44,839 interference. And right now the DOJ and other Democrat controlled groups are literally putting 432 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:50,480 their top political opponent on trial everywhere in the country, and the media are 433 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:53,240 acting like these are totally legitimate trials. They're treating it like it's like no 434 00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:59,119 big deal. The country is being destroyed by this, and it's like maddening 435 00:33:59,319 --> 00:34:00,519 that we went through. So you might like, do you remember we couldn't 436 00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:05,559 say the guy's name who was part of the operation to run the impeachment, 437 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,199 and we did like a whole bleeping impeachment over a phone call that had been 438 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:19,239 private. But you can run big show trials on totally made up charges using 439 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,199 all the power of the Democrat Party and nobody's doing any impeachments. I mean, 440 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,639 it's like insane. Yeah, it's nuts. I mean, listen, 441 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,480 the DOJ let Hillary walk for real crime because in my view, Comy didn't 442 00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:37,440 want to get involved in that election, and he did, by the way 443 00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:43,239 by letting her off. But so I understand the impulse to do that but 444 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,559 that favorite and then Donald Trump said he wasn't even going to do go after 445 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,199 Hillary, and now the favor is not returned, And you're right, this 446 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,360 is like hidden law. I mean it is. I don't know if it's 447 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,840 good, but it is hidden law. I just want to point out, 448 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,480 Yeah, James Comy, I think people do would as much as they might 449 00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:00,480 hate Hillary Clinton and not like her law breaking, the idea that the DOJ 450 00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:07,599 an FBI should not be involved in affecting the outcome of an election makes sense. 451 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:15,519 At the same exact moment he was letting Hillary go, he was putting 452 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:22,840 together the Russia collusion scam with Hillary Clinton, so he didn't even believe it 453 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,360 at the moment. I mean, I'm giving a good faith rendering of that 454 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:31,440 time, which you know, maybe he wouldn't have let probably wouldn't have led 455 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,719 Donald Trump's slide in the same position, but he let Hillary slide. So 456 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,320 I don't know, it's a big problem. I don't know. I just 457 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:44,760 feel like it's Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee ran the Russia collusion hoax 458 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:52,320 through an item called legal expenses paid to Perkins Cooey, a Democrat law firm, 459 00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:59,360 and nobody was held accountable for that. But we are to believe that 460 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:06,119 Donald Trum using private funds to pay a non disclosure agreement and marking it like 461 00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:12,159 a particular way in twenty seventeen should send him to jail. That's how corrupt 462 00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:15,360 our regime is. They can't send him to jail, can they? That 463 00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:23,039 would backfire so badly. Imagine sending him to jail for signing d a non 464 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:25,920 disclosure agreement, which is I mean, don't you think that's what like in 465 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,760 Russia? Like you can't send Alexander Navalny to jail. We all know that 466 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,960 you're just doing it because he's your political opponent. And then they did, 467 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,559 and then he died there. I mean, listen. I try to avoid 468 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:42,920 a lot of the overwrought language that some people on our side use, you 469 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,880 know, as to what's going on. I don't say the word regime things 470 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,920 like that, but I have to tell you if he's in an orange jumpsuit. 471 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,239 I think I have to join you guys in all of that, because 472 00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:55,599 this is a This isn't even a show trial. In a way, it's 473 00:36:55,639 --> 00:37:01,199 worse because it's an invention. They've invented new laws existed for anyone just for 474 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,159 Donald Trump and just because he's running for president. As you said, I 475 00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:08,599 think numerous times, if he just stepped down tomorrow and didn't run, he'd 476 00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:13,280 probably get off on all this stuff without much problem, right, they'd probably 477 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:22,760 play him out whatever. So yeah, it's politically motivated. Yeah, we'll 478 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,480 see. I think if he's in, if he's in an orange jump suit, 479 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:27,800 he's going to win. The presidents what happens? Can you I don't 480 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,519 even know what the what are the rules? Can you be president from jail? 481 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:37,440 Oh? Yeah you can be. I think sleep wearing this conversation. 482 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,159 I mean, it's it's going to get crazy, and people need to be 483 00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:44,800 prepared. I mean they need to be prepared for the I don't know if 484 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,960 this will be the conviction or if it'll be somewhere else that the regime that 485 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,320 you don't want to call a regime will do everything in their power to control 486 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:57,679 the outcome. Just the last word on that time piece, it's like they're 487 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,360 so clueless and tone death that what they're saying he's going to do, they're 488 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,400 doing like they I'm like I was banging the table reading it, like this 489 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,280 is what you're doing. You are going after your political opponents right, it's 490 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,760 all projection, and they're enabled by corporate media who lie about it and who 491 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,079 treat it like it's okay and don't do any real journalism on it, and 492 00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:22,920 then congratulate themselves at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner that they pretend it's about 493 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,920 free speech. Okay, Well, did you hear that? If the Trump 494 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,159 wins, there's not going to beat this dinner anymore, and they might not 495 00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:32,079 be a free I'm already voting for him. I'm already voting for him. 496 00:38:32,199 --> 00:38:36,000 If then you tell me he's going to kill the White House Correspondent Center, 497 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000 which he basically already did. I love. Who was the guy's name who 498 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,920 hosted that, Yost or something, Colin Jost. Maybe it's Yost. I 499 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:49,119 mean my mother's maiden name is Jost. My mom was telling me she kind 500 00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:52,960 of like felt badly for how poorly he performed at the White House Correspondent Center, 501 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,880 which she apparently watched a few minutes of because they share a last name. 502 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,280 So I just quickly wanted to say this about it, so one of 503 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,639 the I did not watch it, I did even watch clips. I just 504 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,639 read that he had said something about you know Joe Biden's decency, Like I 505 00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:08,719 always, we always hear this about how decent he is. That is one 506 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:14,000 of the biggest, biggest myths going. He is not decent in any way. 507 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,159 He's he lies about everything. He has no principles. I'm not saying 508 00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:22,480 he's like Hitler or anything, but he is not a decent person. And 509 00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:25,679 I hate that myth. And I think that a lot of that reception of 510 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,000 him helped him win in twenty twenty. Yeah, it was good. It 511 00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:32,719 was a good campaign strategy, and it was enabled again by our lying corporate 512 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,880 media. He actually had to leave his first presidential run over issues of character, 513 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,639 you know, and that was about how he lied about his entire biography. 514 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,639 Decent people don't lie about their entire biography. He has lied about things 515 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,119 like claiming that when so his wife I think allegedly like his first wife pulled 516 00:39:54,119 --> 00:40:05,039 out into traffic and sadly was killed and sorry, I'm forgetting was it's daughter 517 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,760 maybe, yeah, was also killed. And he claimed that the man who 518 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,599 hit her, you know, when she's the one who pulled out was a 519 00:40:12,679 --> 00:40:15,719 drunk and that was not true. You know that decent people don't lie about 520 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,159 it decent people don't claim that they are a gold star family when they're not. 521 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,119 Two gold star families, you know, meaning people who have died in 522 00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:28,320 combat. He has lied and claimed that his son died in combat. He's 523 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,079 lied about you know what church he grew up in, what his values have 524 00:40:32,159 --> 00:40:37,559 been. He's switched on all sorts of issues in ways that were very politically 525 00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:42,360 expedient. He did Declarence Thomas unforgivable things. I mean, I guess everything's 526 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,559 forgivable, but really horrible, reprehensible things. He is just it's just like 527 00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:53,039 you don't need to say that he's decent. And also Colin Joe said sorry, 528 00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:00,320 he said, my grandfather voted for decency, and that's why we're here 529 00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:02,519 is for decency. So in other words, Colin Joe said, we're here 530 00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:06,840 for Joe Biden, and I was like, yeah, you are. You're 531 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,480 here for Joe Biden. That's what the corporate media are. That's all they 532 00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:14,000 do. They lie about America, They lie about Americans, they lie about 533 00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:16,559 people who don't share their far left ideology. That's what the media do. 534 00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:22,159 And that's why I cannot stand the awful White House correspondence dinner. And I 535 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,920 just have to say, like everyone in this town loves it, and so 536 00:41:27,039 --> 00:41:29,280 this weekend people are all like, did you go? Did you go? 537 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,920 Were you there? And I can't help myself. I just respond, no, 538 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,280 I hate it and I hate people who go. It is so self 539 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:45,440 indulgent and sanctimonious. But if you go online in the mid nineties, there's 540 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:52,039 a White House Correspondence dinner that is that the mc is Norm MacDonald, Yes, 541 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,440 and it is hilarious. And the thing that really struck me about it 542 00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:00,000 when I rewatched it was that he goes after Clinton really hard like, and 543 00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:05,440 he goes after everyone and it's hilarious. And if that's what it was about, 544 00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:07,320 and if that's what you had there, it would be great. But 545 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,880 it's not. It's just a campaign, uh, you know, a campaign 546 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,880 event, and it has been for a while. It was under Uh did 547 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:23,119 you watch nor McDonald going after Clinton? On the view? Yah called him 548 00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:29,360 a murderer and Barbara Walters gets so upset and he's like, I don't see 549 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:35,480 why you're defending someone who's killed so many people. It's just it's beautiful television. 550 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:38,639 It is really worth watching. He is He was just great. I'm 551 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:45,599 just a massive fan they have like a collection of all his uh oj jokes, 552 00:42:45,639 --> 00:42:49,159 you know, just one right after the next. Murders, speaking of 553 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:54,320 murderers. Yeah, so anyway, we're screwed. It's all right. So 554 00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:59,280 this weekend instead of going to the White House, correspondent s Diinner, I 555 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:07,519 did get a few albums good for mentioning music. Yeah, and one of 556 00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:10,800 them I'm really happy about. Well, actually, first let me tell you. 557 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,840 Do you know Ian McKay makay Yeah, from Minor Threat? Yeah, 558 00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:22,400 is it Mackay? I think so sorry that I don't know it's okay forgot 559 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:29,599 yeah, sons. So we were at we were at Eastern Market in DC, 560 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,079 and there were a couple of people selling records and one of them had 561 00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:39,400 just amazingly awesome records and one of them was a signed reissue of a Minor 562 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:47,480 Threat album signed by Ian at a step and I don't it's okay? Oh 563 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,880 is that it? I love that you asked me that. No, it 564 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,639 wasn't like really, you know, he is a big fan. He runs 565 00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:00,800 he also ran the record label Discord Records out of our Yeah, yeah exactly. 566 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,480 And also, like my husband who had been in a band, a 567 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,639 local band, I think someone in that band produced one of his records. 568 00:44:07,639 --> 00:44:10,679 But anyway, so we got that and it was kind of an interesting story 569 00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:14,800 about how it came to be signed, and he basically was helping out a 570 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,960 friend who had come in into hard times by signing some albums that could be 571 00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:24,079 sold. And then I got Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode. And 572 00:44:24,199 --> 00:44:28,880 this guy who was selling the records had gone on a trip to Mexico and 573 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,480 purchased a bunch of albums, including this like Mexican issue of Music for the 574 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,360 Masses. And it's sometimes I get nervous about listening to music I liked in 575 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:42,280 my youth that it just won't hold up. That is a fantastic album, 576 00:44:42,519 --> 00:44:45,480 I think, I don't like, I know a bunch of Depeche Mode songs, 577 00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:49,239 but I don't really know what was on what album? So what's like 578 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,400 that? Do you know what the big hit on that album was? Or 579 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,480 I look up? Is it people Are People? Or is that like earlier? 580 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,559 Sorry, by the way, while you look that up, I just 581 00:44:59,559 --> 00:45:02,039 want to think, thank you for allowing me to put minor thrillers our outro 582 00:45:02,199 --> 00:45:06,559 music. Okay, well, I was kind of hoping you would do little 583 00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:10,079 fifteen wiches on this but it's never let me down again. Behind the Week, 584 00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:14,719 Little fifteen. But it all goes together really well. And I was 585 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,400 so happy because I've been listening to like different albums, you know, in 586 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,360 front of my children, and then I listened to their playlists that they put 587 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,239 together, and they will like select different songs from my albums. It makes 588 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:30,239 me very happy. Oh that's nice. So those were the two others. 589 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,239 There was one other, but I can't remember what it was. I'm sorry, 590 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:39,199 It's okay. What have you been up to? I have three things? 591 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:45,800 So I watched a show on Netflix called Three Body Problem, which is 592 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,360 based on a book by this Chinese science fiction author. I read the first 593 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,199 book of the trilogy. I think it's a trilogy. I loved it. 594 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,559 I don't didn't love the show as much, but I would recommend it to 595 00:45:57,599 --> 00:46:05,000 people if they're interested in like smart science fiction. It's like a first contact 596 00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:09,960 show. It's really well made. The writers are the writers of Games Have 597 00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:16,480 Throne. But there is no incest porn in Three Body Problem. Nothing's any 598 00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:21,800 sexual content actually, So you can watch it, Molly great, thank you. 599 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,920 You know how I will watch every rock documentary that I run across, 600 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,400 even if I hate the music with all my heart. So bon Jovi, 601 00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:32,039 there's this long bon Jovi. Were you a fan of bon Jovi? Like, 602 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,239 I'm just saying, I would be interested in the documentary. So I 603 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,480 just like reading or seeing stories of how people make it, you know what 604 00:46:42,519 --> 00:46:45,559 I mean. I just like watching that. So they're from New Jersey obviously, 605 00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:49,400 and the music is just awful. So I kind of muted it and 606 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:57,519 just read it on the CC close caption. And he's a good looking guy, 607 00:46:57,559 --> 00:47:00,159 that bon Jovi, I mean, did all right with the ladies. 608 00:47:01,039 --> 00:47:05,039 Guess what, He married his high school sweetheart and they're still married for like 609 00:47:05,079 --> 00:47:10,440 forty years. So my husband was saying that everybody in rock music who got 610 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,360 and stayed married has their money, and then the people who don't, they've 611 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:20,079 all just like been married multiple times and made bad decisions. And yeah, 612 00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:22,840 to me, it seemed like he was one of these rock stars who, 613 00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:24,519 first of all, I never understood why they were considered heavy metal. It 614 00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:29,079 didn't sound heavy metal and poppish to me, but they looked kind of heavy 615 00:47:29,119 --> 00:47:34,760 metal. But he was like a businessman, like clearly it was he had 616 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800 goals in mind. He was, you know, making money. He knew 617 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,760 what he was doing. Smart guy. Seems like an interesting person actually. 618 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,920 And then there was another one that you might be interested in. It was 619 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:51,800 on Netflix. I believe it was a Duran Duran one. Yeah were you 620 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,920 a fan? Yeah you? Rio is one of my all time favorite albums. 621 00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,639 So I actually found that interesting because they're from Birmingham and I always associated 622 00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:07,360 that with like heavy working class like Black Sabbaths from there and stuff, and 623 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,599 Touranderana, I would say, is the opposite of Black Sabbath as far as 624 00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:14,559 style and music goes. So I thought that was a pretty interesting one. 625 00:48:14,639 --> 00:48:16,719 Those guys too, seem most of them seem like they have their heads on 626 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,079 pretty pretty straight, you know what I mean. I was telling you, 627 00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:25,920 I was listening to that watching that Steve Martin documented me when I was like 628 00:48:27,039 --> 00:48:30,000 rowing and I finished it, and I do highly recommend it. I would 629 00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:34,679 say that's definitely one that people want to set aside three hours of their time 630 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,639 to watch because that's how long it is. But it ended really beautifully and 631 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:43,960 made me like him a lot more. But then I started watching Joe Rogan's 632 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,400 interview of Tucker. Mm hm, I'm not really a podcast watcher, but 633 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,559 I'm working on it, like I've made it through a portion, and definitely 634 00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:54,880 it's the type of thing that's better to watch in context than to get snippets 635 00:48:54,920 --> 00:49:01,400 from angry people about Like every single snippet i'd seen was totally different when watched 636 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,639 in context. I love how you say you're working on it, like it's 637 00:49:05,679 --> 00:49:07,440 something that you need to do to better yourself, Like you don't have to 638 00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:13,000 like podcasts. There's no big moral imperative for you to like three hour podcasts 639 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:19,480 by Joe Rogan. Find him. So many people watch or listen to those, 640 00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:22,440 and I'm like, how do you have the time. And then Mark's 641 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,000 cousin was visiting and told us to like watch that or listen to it at 642 00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:30,920 double speed. Yeah that Yeah, I'm doing one and a half one and 643 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,480 a half. Yeah, it's difficult for me to have to spend three hours 644 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,239 with Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson right now. A lot of what Tucker's up 645 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,480 to is making me mad, but we don't have to talk about that right 646 00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:47,760 now. And then the last thing I did was I rewatched Glengarry Glenn Ross. 647 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,679 Have you ever seen that? I love it? God, it's so 648 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,840 good and everyone in it is just amazing. And David Mammott stuff is just 649 00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:00,320 the the way that you know, the Mammot speak, the way you know, 650 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,239 the way it's constructed. It's just so amazing and it wants you know, 651 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,159 it makes me want to go watch his other movies and plays and stuff. 652 00:50:07,199 --> 00:50:09,159 I just I'm such a big fan. And everyone's great in that. 653 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,519 Jack Lemon, you know, he was such a great actor. And yeah, 654 00:50:13,559 --> 00:50:17,320 Alec Baldwin has that great scene in it always be closing, you know 655 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:25,519 all that. So that's not safe for kids, right, There's nothing, 656 00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:29,719 I mean, there's it would just be like it would be like boring for 657 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:36,679 kids or not exciting. I don't know. I've been watching The Chosen with 658 00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:39,440 with the kids, so I think that might be a violent switch. It's 659 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,239 going to be a change your pace, let's put it that way. There's 660 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,639 some cursing in it, for sure, but it's not I don't know, 661 00:50:45,639 --> 00:50:49,960 there's nothing really terrible. I don't I should say that, David. I 662 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,480 just want to give an update, but I am. I'm all the way 663 00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:57,199 into the Book of Acts, which is well, everything's been great, but 664 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,239 like reading the Book of Acts, start to finish is also super interesting. 665 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:10,360 You're never like that that book suck like Leviticus. Leviticus has the wrong reputation. 666 00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:15,360 That's a super interesting one. But I will say that like all of 667 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:20,559 the books that I was less familiar with, I've enjoyed so much more. 668 00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:23,840 I was so excited to read John, the Gospel of John, which is 669 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:30,039 my favorite and I like to read all the time anyway, but when I 670 00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:34,400 read it this time, I was it didn't like unlock new things, probably 671 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,440 because I was pretty familiar with it. Anyway, that's good to know. 672 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,320 You get a lot done. You're doing your job, very lot going on, 673 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,159 watching the movies, also reading the Bible. How like, how much 674 00:51:46,199 --> 00:51:50,239 time do you spend a day reading the Bible? The Bible part is interesting 675 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,800 because sometimes it's not at all. In some days it's quite a bit. 676 00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:57,800 And yesterday I was in an urgent care with a kid who broke a body 677 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,079 part, and so we just I just read it out loud to that child 678 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:02,719 while we were waiting, because you know how you like have to wait, 679 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,760 sit around and wait. Yeah, she knows a lot about the Bible, 680 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,280 that one. But anyway, do you have it on your phone? Yeah? 681 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,079 I read it partially in print. I have a Lutheran Study Bible that 682 00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:19,159 I love because it has like the contextual notes and it tells you, like 683 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,719 where this was previously addressed in scripture and all that kind of stuff, has 684 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,079 maps and historical guides, and then I read it on my phone also. 685 00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:30,199 All right, I just think people would want to know. I want to 686 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,119 know, So thank you for that. Now, Okay, we'll see everyone 687 00:52:35,159 --> 00:52:37,079 next week. Until then, we lovers of freedom and anxious for the thread
