President Trump has publicly announced that 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: the administration is going to end Harvard's tax exempt status. 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: This administration is going to war with the nation's oldest 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: and most prestigious university. The stakes are massive. They're tens 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: of billions of dollars. The stakes are cana University getting 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: federal funds discriminate based on race? Can they promote anti Semitism? 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: The establishment will roar back mightily. It's going to be 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: a serious legal fight. We're going to break down what's 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: likely to play out, what the basis is of what 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: the administration is doing, and what the risks are of 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 2: what the administration is doing. We're also going to break 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: down a really amazing story we've covered previously elon derangement 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: syndrome and how it's led to domestic terrorism fire bombing 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: of Tesla factories. Well, we now see a story where 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: elon derangement syndrome is merging with just out of control 20 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: wokeness and one of these domestic terrorists that fire bombed 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: a Tesla dealership has been released from federal custody. Why 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: is that because the terrorist is transgender and the judge ruled, well, 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: the the the gender transition treatment was more important than 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: punishing domestic terrorists, so you got to let them out 25 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: of jail. It really is astonishing. We're gonna walk you 26 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: through those facts as well. 27 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: It is amazing to see what you can get you 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: to jail if I ever get arrested. I'm just letting 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: you guys know I'm gonna identify as a chick, So 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: just want to get that on the record. 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 3: You can use it America, and. 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: I, for one find I, for one, find that very plausible. Ben. 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: I think you. 35 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: Look cute, cute and tennis skirts. 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: Just wait, if you ever get arrested. I'm just saying 37 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: there's a good chance you'll do it too. If this 38 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: is how the system's. 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: Gonna Martina Ferguson, that's right, Martina Ferguson, I love it. 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I want to take a moment and tell you about 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: our friends over at Patriot Mobile.

You may not 47 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: realize this, but Big Mobile gives big donations to hardcore 48 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: leftist radical causes, including organizations that pay for abortions.

All right, Senator, So 75 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: let's get into this issue with Harvard. Donald Trump calls 76 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: to remove Harvard's tax exempt status. Let's explain exactly why 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: he's saying that and what made this all become such 78 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: a big deal so quickly. 79 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: Well, Harvard is the oldest university of Ameria, was founded 80 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: in sixteen thirty six. It is the wealthiest university in America. 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: It has a fifty three billion dollar endowment, and for 82 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: a long time it's been the most prestigious university in America. 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: And I think President Trump is exactly right going after 84 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: Harvard because it is it is the birthplace of woke. 85 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: As you know my last book, Unwoke, How to Defeat 86 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: Cultural Marxism in America, I describe colleges and universities, and 87 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: especially Harvard, as the Wuhan lab of the woke virus. 88 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: It's where it was invented, it's where it mutated, and 89 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: it's where it's spread. Now going after Harvard and denying 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: them their tax Execs exempt status, what does that mean? 91 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: If they're five oh one C three status is revoked, 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: it means Harvard pays taxes just like a for profit institution. 93 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: It also means contributions to Harvard are no longer tax deductible, 94 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: So if you give money to Harvard, you can't deduct 95 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: them from your taxes. Both of those are a huge, 96 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: huge deal. If that happens. If the Trump administrations follows through, 97 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: Harvard will litigate, They will go to court, and this 98 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: will be a battle that will go to the US 99 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. And on one level, the Trump administration's legal 100 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: arguments are very strong, But at another level, it's an 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: uphill fight given who the Supreme Court is. So we're 102 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: going to break down both pieces of that. Why is 103 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: the legal argument strong? Well, i'll tell you the case 104 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: that would be front and center if this goes to 105 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: the court is a case called Bob Jones University versus 106 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: United States, and it was decided by the Supreme Court 107 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty three. And what happened in nineteen eighty 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: three is the IRS revoked the five OZHO one C 109 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: three status of Bob Jones University because Bob Jones University 110 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: had a policy that prohibited interracial dating. There was another school, 111 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: Goldsborough Christian Schools, that had a racially discriminatory admissions policy, 112 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: and likewise, the IRS revoked Goldsborough's five O one C 113 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: three exception. That case went all the way to the 114 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court ruled eight to one 115 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: that the IRS could revoke the five oh one C 116 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: three exception, and they did so by concluding that it 117 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: was contrary to public policy to promote racial discrimination. Was 118 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: contrary to public policy objectives in the United States, and 119 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: that will be the basis. It was eight to one. 120 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: Chief Justice Burger wrote the majority opinion. There was only 121 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: one discent. The dissent was William Renquist who wrote a 122 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: dissent and said, look, under the terms of five oh 123 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: one C three, under the statute. They don't specify whether 124 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: the purposes are good or bad, and so we shouldn't 125 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 2: allow them to do that. But eight justices said, well, 126 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: yes we should, and that's what we do. That will 127 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: be the basis. Now under that case, Harvard has a 128 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: real difficult time, and it has a real difficult time 129 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: because it has for a long time openly and brazenly 130 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: discriminated based on race, and it is also openly and 131 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: brazenly created an environment that that discriminates against Jewish students 132 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: and promotes anti Semitism. Both of those are huge, huge 133 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: factual problems. And the facts, particularly at Harvard, that there 134 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: was just a scathing report on anti Semitism that that 135 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: walk through the incredible pattern of anti semitism, that that 136 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: Harvard has promoted, welcomed, and used to persecute Jewish students, 137 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: and that on the face of it, is contrary to 138 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: federal civil rights laws. And so the Trump administration's legal 139 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: argument on the merits is quite strong. 140 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: You look at the illegal arguments here, and there's a 141 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: lot of people that are going to just be angry 142 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: about the story itself and the fact that your reward 143 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: people for going after Jewish students I mean, how is 144 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: this not an award to the student by saying, hey, 145 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: we're sanctioning what you did. We know you're taking a 146 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: bag wrap, but hey, here's a bunch of money for 147 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: you to go ahead and say we're behind you. That 148 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: seems to be what the university is saying. Otherwise, why 149 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: on earth would you give this cash? 150 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? Look, and there are twin issues here. The Trump 151 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: administration has already cut two billion dollars frozen two billion 152 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 2: dollars in direct federal funds that it was sending to Harvard. 153 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: That's a big deal. The five oh one C three 154 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 2: status is an even bigger deal. And so both of those. 155 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: The basic principle is, if if a university is violating 156 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: federal civil rights law, if they're discriminating base on race, 157 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 2: if they are discriminating against Jewish students, if they're discriminating 158 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: against Anglo students, if they're discriminating against Asian students, all 159 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: of which Harvard has been doing, why should the federal 160 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: government be giving them money? And why should they get 161 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: a special benefit of to the tax laws. Now, why 162 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: is it that I say this is an uphill fight? 163 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 2: Because the Supreme Court is an institution that is elite, 164 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: and that is very much birthed of the establishment. Let 165 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: me ask you, Ben, of the nine Supreme Court justices, 166 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: how many of them do you think went to Ivy 167 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: League schools. 168 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: I'm going to go with eight of the nine, you 169 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: would be correct. 170 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 2: Eight. How many went to Harvard Law School? 171 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: Because I finally got one right? Because this is what 172 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: you doing this show? If you're new and I. 173 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: Know to ask. 174 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: He likes to haze me every episode with something he 175 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: knows I don't know the answer. 176 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: To, and I just well, you just got it right 177 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: in this moment. 178 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: Eight out of eight, and I'm one for a thousand 179 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: right now. 180 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: Well, let's keep going. How many do you think went 181 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: to Harvard Law School. 182 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with seven out of nine. 183 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: Four four went to Harvard Law School, four went to 184 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: Yale Law School. Of the eight justices, of the eight 185 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: justices for or went to Harvard Law School, four went 186 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: to Yale Law School. Of the eighteen degrees they have 187 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 2: college degrees and law degrees. Of the eighteen degrees, how 188 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: many of them do you think are Ivy League degrees. 189 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess nine out of. 190 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: Nine, fifteen, fifteen out of eighteen. The only one that 191 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: doesn't have an IVY League Okay, yeah, the only one 192 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: that doesn't have an IVY League degree is Amy Cony Barrett, 193 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: who went to Rhodes College in Notre Dame. But if 194 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: you look at it, this is an institution that is steeped, 195 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: steeped in Harvard, and the institution in fact, Elana Kagan 196 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: was the former dean of the Harvard Law School. And 197 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: so I think they are going to be highly resistant 198 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: to the notion that Harvard's five oh one C three 199 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: status can be revoked. And I will tell you they're 200 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: also going to be concerned about the slippery slope of 201 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 2: what happens with the next administration. 202 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: All right, So center, here's the question that I think 203 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people listening are going to want me 204 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: to ask, and that is it sounds like this would 205 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: be much of an uphill battle for the president. I 206 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 1: think he probably knows that, as staff does. But is 207 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: this also as much about sending a message to other 208 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: universities that if you think that we're going to turn 209 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: a blind eye to this, you're wrong and we're going. 210 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: To be watching you closely. 211 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: Of course it is. Look, Harvard is the big Kahuna, 212 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: And so going after Harvard is meant to send a 213 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: message to every other school that violating the civil Rights law. 214 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: Discriminating base on race, discriminating against students on their skin color, 215 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: on their race, on their religion, is contrary to federal law, 216 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: and there will be real consequences you look. For example, 217 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: Harvard just released a scathing report on anti Semitism on campus, 218 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: and it found that politicized instruction in four Harvard schools 219 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: had quote mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli 220 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: students experience as anti semitism. Schools were the Graduate School 221 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 2: of Education, the thh Chan School of Public Health, the 222 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: Divinity School because of course, if you're studying divinity, you're 223 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: going to be a racist, and the Medical School, all 224 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 2: of which have been targeted by the Trump administration for 225 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: quote egregious records of anti Semitism or other bias. And 226 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: the report concluded that at those schools, Jewish students and 227 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: Israeli students were routinely ostracized and subject to instruction quote 228 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 2: that effectively made a specific view on the Israel Hamas 229 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: conflict a litmus test for full classroom participation. And let 230 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: me give you one example that's just an amazing thing. 231 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: A required school course in the School of Education taught 232 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: something called the Pyramid of White Supremacy. And this document 233 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: is really it's a chart. You look at it on 234 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: Twitter or online, it'll blow your mind. But it's a 235 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: pyramid of white supremacy. And here are all the things 236 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: that it's describing as white supremacy. At the top is 237 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: the KKK. Okay, we're agreed. KKK very bad. I'm against lynching, terrible, 238 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: I'm against burning crosses, very very bad, racial slurs, jokes, terrible, 239 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: hate crimes, terrible, anti semitism, kind of interesting, bombing black churches, 240 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 2: Japanese incarceration, Operation Wetback. Now Operation Wetback was an Eisenhower 241 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: federal government program deporting illegal aliens, so that is now 242 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: white supremacy to deport illegal aliens. And the Muslim Ban, 243 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 2: which was President Trump's policy in the first term. That 244 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: was restricting immigration from countries with high percentages of radical 245 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: Islamic terrorism. All right, So that's the first part of 246 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: the triangle. You could agree with some of it, you 247 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: can dis agree with some of it, but then it 248 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: starts to get really looney. You know what, The next 249 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: one listed is what is that? The Anti Defamation League, 250 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: the ADL. The Anti Defamation League exists to fight against 251 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: anti Semites. So the Anti Defamation League is, according to 252 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: these radicals, an example of white supremacy. What's the next one? 253 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: All lives matter? So if you say all lives matter, 254 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: that's white supremacy. See, you know what the next one is. 255 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: You're gonna love the next one. 256 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: What's that one? 257 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: Maga? 258 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: Well, of course you got to add that one to 259 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 3: the list. That just make. 260 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: America great again? Is white supremacy. This was Harvard's teaching. 261 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to just go through some of the more 262 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: of these illegal aliens. That's white supremacy. Thugs read a redlining, 263 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: Whussein Obama, Confederate symbols, life after hate, CVE, welfare queens, 264 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: the war on drugs. If you're opposed to illegal drugs, 265 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: that's white reverse racism, anti affirmative action, anti BDS. So 266 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: if you are opposed to boycotting, divesting, and sanctioning Israel, 267 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: then you're a bigot, black identity extremist community policeman. All right, 268 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: you know what else is white supremacy? 269 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: I can't wait, like King Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan 270 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: or Ted Cruz. 271 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: I'll go with one of those three. 272 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: Well, those are all clearly on their charter. They don't 273 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: specify it. Although MAGA was up right up top color blindness. Now, 274 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: mind you, that is literally what doctor Martin Luther King 275 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: said on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that we 276 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: want a nation where people can be judged by the 277 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: content of their character and not the color of their skin. 278 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: But according to these radicals, Martin Luther King is apparently 279 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: a white supremacist. 280 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: This is like a food pyramid for hating conservatives, isn't. 281 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 3: It It is. 282 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you some other examples. Mass incarceration, 283 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: tsa random searches, police apologists. So if you defend the police, 284 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: you're a white supremacist. US military rescue operations, stop in 285 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: fit frisk, the myth of meritocracy. Understand, if you believe 286 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: in merit these lunatics say that is racist English only 287 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: the school to prison pipeline, victim blaming anti Kaepernick, So 288 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: if you don't like Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during 289 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: the national anthem, you are a white supremacist. Columbus Day, 290 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: mind you, it is a federal holiday, but never mind that, 291 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: And then it gets to the bottom of the pyramid 292 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: and it lists things like settler colonialism, slavery, Wall Street, 293 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: the Great Recession, corporate interests, the stock market, greed, NAFTA. 294 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: Did you know? 295 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: NAFTA is white supremacy. According to the start outsourcing, McCarthy 296 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: is a migrant workers manifest destiny, the very settlement of America. 297 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: Oil pipelines are white supremacy. The war on terror, and 298 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: the corporate media are all white supremacy. This is whack 299 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: of doodle stuff. And this is taught in a required 300 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 2: course in the Harvard Education School. 301 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: So let's talk about the mindset of Harvard for a second. 302 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: In these other universities, it does seem pretty clear that 303 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: they believe that they're never going to be touched, and 304 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: even if they are, their endowments are so big that 305 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: they think they're probably going to be just fine and 306 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: liberals will continue to give. Does that not go back 307 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: to the point the presidents bring up, which is why 308 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: the hell are we giving all of these places this money. 309 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 3: They're fine on their own. 310 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,239 Speaker 1: They're acting like they don't need us, that they are 311 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: hardcore against conservative and others that don't basically go with 312 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: this pyramid of hate of conservative ideals. So let's just 313 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: decouple and say you guys, do you and we'll keep 314 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: our tax towers. 315 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 3: Well, look, there's real value to that. 316 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: I will say that there is research money that is 317 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: spent in colleges and universities that is worthwhile, that is useful. 318 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: There's scientific research. There's research, say at medical schools, where 319 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: you're trying to research the cure for cancer, you're trying 320 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: to research a cure for Alzheimer's, you're trying to cure 321 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: deadly diseases. There is scientific research that the Department of 322 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 2: Defense pays for, for example, that is developing high tech 323 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: lasers or other equipment that has significant defense needs. And 324 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: so there is a role for scientific research. And much 325 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: of the scientific research that happens in our nation happens 326 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: in research universities. All of that would be fine if, 327 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: and this is a big if universities were not flagrantly 328 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: violating federal civil rights laws. Let me give you more. 329 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: This report at Harvard, at the Divinity School, Jewish students 330 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: were subject to quote the embrace of a pedagogy of desionization, 331 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: in which instructors attribute to Jews to great sins, first 332 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: in the levant the establishment of the state of Israel 333 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 2: and the Palestinian Nakba, and second in the United States 334 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: participation in white supremacy. So the Harvard Divinity School teaches 335 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 2: Jews the existence of the State of Israel is racist, 336 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: and Jews also they teach are white supremacist. That is 337 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: flagrantly in violation of federal civil rights laws. And sadly 338 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: it is it is something that Harvard openly and brains. 339 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: As they fight this final question, is there an opportunity 340 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: through this legal challenge for us to even be able 341 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: to find out more about what Harvard is doing? Is 342 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: that part of what could happen in the upside here 343 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: is Hey, we get to ask more questions, we get 344 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: to see more behind the books, we get to see 345 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: more of the propaganda that we were talking about right now. 346 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: That is absolutely right, and I'm going to say the 347 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 2: facts are going to get worse and worse as they 348 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: come out. Harvard doesn't want people to know the facts. So, 349 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 2: for example, there were a whole series of stories that 350 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 2: came out about the Harvard Law Review. Now, now, what 351 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: is the Harvard Law Review. The Harvard Law Review is 352 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: a legal journal that's at Harvard Law School that has 353 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: eighty students who are student editors, and getting on the 354 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: Law Review is incredibly prestigious. It is incredibly difficult to do. 355 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: Typical Harvard Law School classes about five hundred and sixty people, 356 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: so you have about forty people out of five sixty 357 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: that make it on the class make it on the 358 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: Law Review. When I was there, I was on the 359 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: Law Review. When I was there, roughly half of the 360 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: editors on the Law Review made it from a combination 361 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: of grades and a week long, incredibly arduous writing competition. 362 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: Another roughly half made it from purely the writing competition. 363 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: But when I say roughly half, at the time it 364 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: was thirty two where grades in writing, thirty two were 365 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: just writing and then eight were reserved for affirmative action. 366 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: That's when I was there. Now, by all appearances, it 367 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: has gotten much worse. It was brazen then, It was 368 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: racially discriminatory then, but it is now much worse. The 369 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: Harvard Law Review now uses race explicitly to number one 370 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: select their editors. And by the way, becoming an editor 371 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: at the Law Review increases your chances of getting a 372 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 2: judicial clerkship dramatically increases your chances of getting a Supreme 373 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: Court clerkship dramatically, increases your chances of getting hired by 374 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: a big, prestigious law firm that pays lots of money, 375 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: increases your chances of becoming a professor at a prestigious 376 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: university dramatically. So the Law Review is a major gateway 377 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: to elite success in the legal world, and the Harvard 378 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: Law Review now in writing, they are quite open in 379 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: saying that that they will discriminate for editors based on race, 380 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 2: and they will also discriminate on the articles they pick. So, 381 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: for example, in a twenty twenty four memo, one journal 382 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: article argue that the fact that the author was quote 383 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: not from an underrepresented background was a negative when it 384 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: came to evaluating the piece for publication. There is a 385 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 2: quote holistic Review Committee which now selects nearly half the 386 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: student editors and has made the inclusion of quote underrepresented 387 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: groups its first priority. Violates Title six. 388 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: So to be clear, you're saying there's a chance now 389 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: now that if you were at Harvard you wouldn't get picked. 390 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling me? 391 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, and you don't know, So 392 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: I say that what's interesting about it is you genuinely 393 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: don't know. Is one of the things that they're very 394 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: clever in how they discriminate because you don't know on 395 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: what basis you were admitted. I had the grades to 396 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: get in on grades, and I think I did well 397 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: in the writing competition, but I have no idea which 398 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 2: of the slots I was in, because nobody does. They 399 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 2: don't tell you. They just announced the forty editors that 400 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: have gotten in, so I don't know. But I'll tell 401 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: you a story I've told before. So what I was 402 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: on the law review. There were a number of conservative editors, 403 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: and we made a run at ending affirmative action in 404 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 2: the law of you. And I have to admit I 405 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: sat back there was we were all eighty of us 406 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: were gathered in a classroom and we were debating this, 407 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 2: and there were some other students that were really kind 408 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 2: of leading the charge, some other conservatives. I agreed with them, 409 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: but I also could count votes, and out of the 410 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 2: eighty students, there were maybe eight or ten of us 411 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: that were conservatives. We were a tiny minority. So I 412 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 2: was like, look, we ain't going to win the vote, 413 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 2: but all right, this is fine, Let's have the debate. 414 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: So we're having the debate, and I was sitting in 415 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 2: the back. It was fairly quiet, and I remember this 416 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 2: one supercilious liberal stood up and said, if we eliminate 417 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: affirmative action, the Harvard Law Review will be nothing but 418 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: white men. And I have to admit I was kind 419 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: of a little bit checked out in the back of 420 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 2: the room and I heard that, and that pissed me off. 421 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: And I said, you know what, you want to understand 422 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 2: why affirmative action is so insidious. The arrogance of that 423 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: imbecile just showed it. His belief, as an enlightened leftist 424 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: is that if merit were the only criterion, only white 425 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: men would get in, that no one who is African 426 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: American would get in. Who is Hispanic? And let's be clear, 427 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 2: I'm Hispanic. He's sitting there. And in fact I told him, 428 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: I said, all right, hey guy, you want to pull 429 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: your transcript out in my transcript and drop him on 430 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: the table right there, Let's see what pure merit produces. 431 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 2: But there was something even more dripping in his leftist condescension, 432 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: which is, at the time, the Harvard affirmative Action program 433 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: did not include gender, so there was not affirmative action 434 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: for women. And I said to all the women editors, 435 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: do you hear what he just said to you? He 436 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 2: believes if it's pure merit, no women would make it. 437 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: And by the way, historically all the women editors who 438 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: are liberals voted against adding gender to affirmative action because 439 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: they recognized that if it was added to it that 440 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: that people it would devalue what they had accomplished. But 441 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 2: it showed just the absolute arrogance of the left when 442 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: it comes to embracing racism, because at the end of 443 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: the day, they that they look down on the poor, 444 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: benighted people that will only succeed in life with their beneficence. 445 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: And by the way, the price for that beneficence is 446 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 2: for them to be loyal and obedient for the rest 447 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: of their lives. I mean, that is the very explicit 448 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: left wing charter the affirmative action. 449 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: Is based on, which brings us to another story where 450 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: this stuff started on college campuses and now it's made 451 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: our way into courtrooms. The Tesla Arson suspect one of them. 452 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of mo out there, right, but 453 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: this one specifically, and we'll get to the story of 454 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: what happened here in a second, but has been quote 455 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: released because of gender transition, would be at risk if 456 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: they didn't release. So if you're going to jail, just 457 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: say you're doing a gender transition and apparently then the 458 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: law cannot hold you accountable for your terrorist actions. 459 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: So there's an individual named Owen McIntyre who was on 460 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: spring break in Missouri and he firebombed two Tesla's cyber trucks. 461 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: He threw molotovails, he fire bombed it. He got caught, 462 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: and he was charged charged with domestic terrorism. And then 463 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: what happened is his federal public defender argued that going 464 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: to jail will disrupt his gender affirming medical care, which 465 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: began in March of this year. It is likely to 466 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: be interrupted or terminated entirely if he remains in pre 467 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: trial detention. And the federal magistrate judge bought that argument 468 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 2: and let him go. And let me say one of 469 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: the craziest things about this story. You and I Ben 470 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: spent twenty minutes trying to figure out if this defendant 471 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: is male or female. 472 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: By the way, and the pride, he's not lying, I 473 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: want to be clear about that. We literally are googling 474 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: everything is a dude is a chick. If we don't 475 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: know what it is like, that's the insanity of the 476 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: where we live. 477 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 2: And we can't tell. And you and I actually disagree. 478 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: So I think this is a person who was born 479 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: female who has decided that she is a he and 480 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: wants to be a man. 481 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 482 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: And the reason I think that. The reason I think 483 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: that is we've googled it, and every damn story uses 484 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 2: he he he he he and and given the insane 485 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: Orwellian world we live in, I think if ABC is 486 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: referring to this person as a he and and the 487 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 2: person is transgender, that that to me means the person 488 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 2: was born as she. Now your argument is, Ben. 489 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 3: This is a dude that grew in his hair. It 490 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 3: looks like a chick. 491 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 2: Then why does all the media refer to this person 492 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 2: as a he? 493 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: I actually because I think everybody's lost their damn minds, 494 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: That's what I think, And I think I mean, and 495 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: the fact that we even are at the point where 496 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: we have to have this discussion tells you how insane 497 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: the world is. 498 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: You Literally, every story I clicked on, I googled it 499 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 2: and clicked on story after story, and there's not one 500 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: that actually describes the facts one way or the other, 501 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 2: So damned if I know. But either way, look, the 502 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: federal prosecutors argue this person is a domestic terrorist, that 503 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: they're throwing molotov cocktails, and it is.
