WEBVTT - The Dynamics Are Not the Same 0:00:03.290 --> 0:00:07.150 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:07.190 --> 0:00:12.200 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:18.669 and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.540 --> 0:00:27.700 Jane Doe testified before a Cornell panel. According to a 0:00:27.780 --> 0:00:31.260 transcript of that testimony obtained by ABC News, Jane Doe 0:00:31.300 --> 0:00:34.640 was unequivocal. I was prostituted and I was held up 0:00:34.820 --> 0:00:37.400 like bait for a gaggle of men. She said I 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.960 remember a dark room with shadows of men in and 0:00:40.020 --> 0:00:42.500 out constantly, and I remember feeling like there was a 0:00:42.580 --> 0:00:44.920 joke and I was not in on it. She ended 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.820 her testimony with a plea to her school. Please make 0:00:47.860 --> 0:00:50.680 it safer for those I love and the community at large. 0:00:50.940 --> 0:00:52.580 Remove those boys from campus. 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:54.279 All right. 0:00:54.580 --> 0:00:59.000 So in my opinion, and forgive me if this is provocative, 0:00:59.100 --> 0:01:02.720 the media and politicians are now doing to this story 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.890 what those boys did to that young woman. Went way 0:01:06.970 --> 0:01:07.570 too far. 0:01:07.870 --> 0:01:08.890 Exploited. 0:01:09.630 --> 0:01:13.649 They're exploiting it. They're checking their morality at the door. 0:01:14.190 --> 0:01:18.410 They're absolutely not interested in answering the questions that really matter. 0:01:18.430 --> 0:01:19.929 And this has become ugly. 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.510 We have a breaking news on this. That I hadn't seen. 0:01:23.530 --> 0:01:24.590 Do you want that or do you want to get. 0:01:24.530 --> 0:01:25.830 Through some other stuff first? Yeah, go ahead. Why not? 0:01:25.990 --> 0:01:26.170 Yeah. 0:01:29.130 --> 0:01:30.929 So we had the story yesterday that one of the 0:01:31.230 --> 0:01:35.410 frat brothers has now said that he was victimized. More 0:01:35.450 --> 0:01:40.300 details on that are out. Because he was drunk. And 0:01:40.340 --> 0:01:42.679 he says he was taken advantage of. The frat brother 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.560 at the center of the Cornell 7 gang rape allegations, 0:01:45.580 --> 0:01:47.800 this is the New York Post, claimed to campus officials 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.110 that the accuser sodomized him. I think we all know 0:01:52.150 --> 0:01:56.190 what that probably was and complained. Nobody cared. He was 0:01:56.250 --> 0:01:59.690 a sex assault survivor. An explosive new report says. 0:02:00.990 --> 0:02:04.160 Yeah, yeah, that actually is going down a road that 0:02:04.190 --> 0:02:06.890 I was going to, uh, to talk about, uh, in 0:02:06.940 --> 0:02:08.620 a couple of minutes, but. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.300 You know, and then I'm going to get to maybe 0:02:11.340 --> 0:02:14.820 eventually this piece in the free press by this woman, uh, 0:02:15.490 --> 0:02:18.970 who's saying, yeah, the sexual revolution maybe has reached its 0:02:19.169 --> 0:02:22.630 logical endpoint in this Cornell seven story. And we need 0:02:22.650 --> 0:02:25.510 to rethink this whole thing. And she goes through her 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.940 history of it. She's roughly our age and how, you know, the, well, I'll, 0:02:32.060 --> 0:02:33.820 I'll read it a little bit later, but basically the 0:02:33.900 --> 0:02:35.960 idea that like women and men are the same and 0:02:35.980 --> 0:02:38.660 we can act exactly the same and blah, blah, blah, blah, 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:39.740 blah has not worked out. 0:02:40.540 --> 0:02:41.880 Yeah. There's a lot to this. You want to do 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.600 that next segment? I would love to hear it. 0:02:43.620 --> 0:02:43.740 Yeah. 0:02:44.430 --> 0:02:46.989 So, back to my exploiting thing. 0:02:47.090 --> 0:02:49.840 I mean, like, for instance, last week AOC used a 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.980 town hall appearance to pour kerosene on the flames of outrage. 0:02:53.910 --> 0:02:58.490 Going well beyond Ms. Doe's civil complaint, AOC said, and 0:02:58.510 --> 0:03:01.990 I quote, seven men drugged and gang raped a young 0:03:02.010 --> 0:03:05.730 woman after they lured her into a frat house, drugged 0:03:05.790 --> 0:03:09.329 her with ketamine, and took turns gang raping her for 0:03:09.389 --> 0:03:10.070 seven hours. 0:03:10.310 --> 0:03:14.050 Yeah, that was unfortunate because that is full of stuff 0:03:14.090 --> 0:03:14.790 that's not true. 0:03:15.570 --> 0:03:15.850 Right. 0:03:15.930 --> 0:03:19.370 That's unfortunate. Some of the stuff people are saying you 0:03:19.389 --> 0:03:19.929 can at least. 0:03:22.770 --> 0:03:27.070 It's somewhat true or possibly true. This is absolutely not true. 0:03:27.770 --> 0:03:31.580 Her saying she was lured there and drugged is just 0:03:31.820 --> 0:03:32.220 not true. 0:03:32.860 --> 0:03:34.640 And my point is that people are now using it 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.240 for their own purposes as opposed to while they pretend 0:03:37.300 --> 0:03:39.900 to seek justice for this young woman. Surprisingly, the New 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.750 York Times delivered a pretty nuanced account describing that Doe 0:03:45.050 --> 0:03:47.610 came to describe the encounter as rape only after people 0:03:47.670 --> 0:03:49.950 on campus began joking about it and talking about a 0:03:50.010 --> 0:03:54.230 sophomore slut. And after she was disinvited from the fraternity's 0:03:54.290 --> 0:03:57.410 Halloween party, according to the frat, for her own good. 0:03:59.350 --> 0:04:00.270 Right, exactly. 0:04:00.390 --> 0:04:03.810 So, the point that I wanted to get to is 0:04:03.910 --> 0:04:14.760 actually coming up right here. So, Cornell's president is... running 0:04:14.940 --> 0:04:18.080 for his life in front of a mob of angry 0:04:18.260 --> 0:04:21.720 young student activists who, if they're not yelling about this, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:26.760 are yelling about Palestine or capitalism or something or other. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.550 The angry mob seems to be a permanent fixture on 0:04:30.610 --> 0:04:34.729 college campuses. Oh, I'm sorry, trans thing, transphobia, whatever. 0:04:34.750 --> 0:04:37.130 Well, you're not busy studying or learning anything, so you've 0:04:37.150 --> 0:04:37.930 got plenty of free time. 0:04:39.230 --> 0:04:40.020 Right, um. 0:04:42.450 --> 0:04:46.330 And there's some great, great analysis by Ira Stoll in 0:04:46.350 --> 0:04:48.690 The Free Beacon. He's talking about the president and his 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.080 statement and his folksy video message to the kids, because 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.380 in writing doesn't work anymore, I guess. But he talks 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.760 about how Kotlikoff, who's the president of the university. 0:05:01.620 --> 0:05:08.100 Reached for the libertarian toolkit, informed consent, body autonomy, etc. 0:05:08.700 --> 0:05:11.200 Yet for the sordid details of this case, while those 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.849 were issues, it's not clear that they were the only ones, 0:05:13.870 --> 0:05:16.530 he writes. You could make a case that one way 0:05:16.589 --> 0:05:20.089 American elite higher education arrives at this juncture was that 0:05:20.110 --> 0:05:22.830 there was too much emphasis on informed consent and body 0:05:22.950 --> 0:05:26.150 autonomy and not enough emphasis on the other moral frameworks 0:05:26.190 --> 0:05:27.490 that might constrain desire. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.760 Here's his point. 0:05:29.860 --> 0:05:34.090 If Jane Doe had offered informed, advanced consent to a 0:05:34.230 --> 0:05:39.140 six-hour-long sexual encounter with seven different partners fueled by ketamine, liquor, 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:43.530 and marijuana, would that render it virtuous or totally unobjectionable? 0:05:44.220 --> 0:05:48.120 These are questions Western culture and traditional religions offer answers to, 0:05:48.420 --> 0:05:51.800 or at least ways of thinking rigorously about. A well-managed 0:05:51.860 --> 0:05:55.900 educational institution might plausibly seek to challenge students by educating 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.180 them on these topics, or at least exposing them to 0:05:59.220 --> 0:06:00.220 the perspectives. 0:06:00.980 --> 0:06:02.020 Which I thought was a good point. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:02.500 Yeah. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.680 I think on this whole story, I feel like every... 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.900 comment needs to be prefaced with, are we talking about 0:06:10.300 --> 0:06:13.760 the legal case or are we talking about what's right 0:06:13.810 --> 0:06:14.950 or wrong or moral? 0:06:15.690 --> 0:06:15.930 Right. 0:06:15.950 --> 0:06:17.290 Because they're very different things. 0:06:17.710 --> 0:06:17.950 Right. 0:06:18.790 --> 0:06:21.850 So keep with that, Ryder. I would not be happy. 0:06:21.870 --> 0:06:24.070 Obviously, I wouldn't be happy if one of my kids 0:06:24.330 --> 0:06:26.089 turned out to be a rapist, but I also wouldn't 0:06:26.130 --> 0:06:29.180 be happy if my son in college walks in on 0:06:29.220 --> 0:06:32.700 a almost passed out chick who other guys are having 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.320 sex with and says, hey, join us. And joined in. 0:06:36.339 --> 0:06:39.279 I wouldn't be happy about that either. So, a. 0:06:41.220 --> 0:06:44.239 Story from the New York Post, more than a thousand 0:06:44.420 --> 0:06:47.700 furious protesters. And I've seen the video, I've seen the pictures. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.800 They were screeching angrily and holding up impassioned placards. We 0:06:51.860 --> 0:06:56.820 stand with survivors. Prison sentences, not topic sentences. Stop rape culture. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:01.659 Cornell will expel protesters but not rapists, etc. More than 0:07:01.660 --> 0:07:05.080 1,000 furious protesters marched on Cornell's university campus Monday in 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.140 support of the woman allegedly gang-raped, etc. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:07.360 etc. 0:07:07.700 --> 0:07:10.670 demanded the resignation of the school's president. We are all 0:07:10.750 --> 0:07:15.490 Jane Doe, whatever that means. Alcohol is not consent. Support survivors. 0:07:15.570 --> 0:07:20.470 Listen to students. Some called for outright violence against the 0:07:20.530 --> 0:07:22.910 accused Cornell's seven frat brothers. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:24.840 Wow. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.780 Various speakers had demands that all of Cornell's fraternities be 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:34.620 kicked off campus, and there's a big movement in the statehouse. 0:07:34.690 --> 0:07:35.610 Now, that makes sense. 0:07:36.670 --> 0:07:42.050 I know. The governor is insisting that the legislature change 0:07:42.170 --> 0:07:48.230 the consent laws in New York specifically that if you 0:07:48.810 --> 0:07:53.010 willingly consume alcohol... And then you say, yeah, I was 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.880 kind of drunk, so I couldn't give consent, so this 0:07:55.980 --> 0:08:00.600 is rape. That people, I'm guessing only men, can be 0:08:01.060 --> 0:08:02.880 convicted on that basis. 0:08:02.930 --> 0:08:04.530 Completely unworkable in real life. 0:08:05.250 --> 0:08:07.170 Exactly. It's a nightmare of injustice. 0:08:07.310 --> 0:08:12.870 Can you imagine every regretful affair after a drink or 0:08:12.930 --> 0:08:17.600 more or a hit on a pot pipe or whatever, vape, 0:08:18.060 --> 0:08:21.710 is going to be rape, probably only in one direction. 0:08:23.270 --> 0:08:28.040 Not only is it unworkable, legal and socially, it infantilizes 0:08:28.260 --> 0:08:33.630 women in a way that is incredibly dangerous. you are 0:08:33.670 --> 0:08:35.890 doing the opposite. And I'm not looking for a pat 0:08:35.910 --> 0:08:38.109 on the back here. I'm just illustrating the point. You're 0:08:38.130 --> 0:08:41.590 doing the opposite of what I tried to teach my daughters, 0:08:41.730 --> 0:08:45.760 which was these situations are dangerous. 0:08:46.140 --> 0:08:47.459 Bad things happen. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.860 If you are one step down the road into this situation, 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.580 you are heading for danger. Don't take that second step. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.449 This says the opposite. You are such an innocent babe, 0:08:59.770 --> 0:09:02.930 subject to the whims of the predator males. Even if 0:09:02.970 --> 0:09:05.730 you willingly have a couple of beers and are laughing 0:09:05.750 --> 0:09:08.410 and singing along with the country song, and then you 0:09:08.470 --> 0:09:12.420 regret banging some cowboy you meet at the bar, he's 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:13.559 a rapist. 0:09:14.540 --> 0:09:20.439 I mean, that's horrible. Horrible. And one more aspect of 0:09:20.460 --> 0:09:24.620 this I wanted to squeeze in. Oh, well, two. 0:09:25.620 --> 0:09:25.730 Um. 0:09:27.580 --> 0:09:32.430 Speaking of mob, you know, the angry mob, once the 0:09:32.470 --> 0:09:35.010 mob gets angry and starts yelling, they have no interest 0:09:35.070 --> 0:09:37.630 in fact. And here's just a sample of what it's 0:09:37.670 --> 0:09:40.450 like in Cornell. This is an editorial that was printed 0:09:40.470 --> 0:09:43.429 in the Wall Street Journal by a student, Jared Lederman. 0:09:44.150 --> 0:09:47.000 It came out the same day, as I recall, that 0:09:47.059 --> 0:09:50.660 this story broke. And I initially thought it was related. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:51.780 It was unrelated. 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.059 It was submitted the night before, and they decided to 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.350 print it. He's talking about he'd published an essay entitled 0:09:58.990 --> 0:10:02.530 Men in Women Were Not Created Equal. It argued that 0:10:02.690 --> 0:10:05.150 while men and women have equal worth, they're not identical, 0:10:05.250 --> 0:10:09.680 and that Americans treat traditional sex roles with unreasonable disdain. 0:10:10.260 --> 0:10:12.900 And there's some value in looking at traditional sex roles 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.160 and examining why they were a good idea for a 0:10:15.179 --> 0:10:16.200 very long time, blah, blah, blah. 0:10:16.220 --> 0:10:18.470 Going to fit into the free press piece the woman 0:10:18.510 --> 0:10:19.829 wrote very much so. 0:10:19.929 --> 0:10:20.209 Excellent. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.830 So he thought he'd get maybe a few dozen readers. Instead, 0:10:23.850 --> 0:10:26.730 within 48 hours, nearly 10,000 people had viewed the piece, 0:10:26.750 --> 0:10:30.109 he writes, and I became the subject of a campus-wide controversy. 0:10:30.550 --> 0:10:34.449 Hundreds of posts labeling me misogynistic and bigoted appeared on 0:10:34.670 --> 0:10:39.390 Cornell's anonymous chat forums. Students publicized my campus affiliations and 0:10:39.470 --> 0:10:44.429 demanded my removal. Others planned to contact potential employers and 0:10:44.530 --> 0:10:45.689 damage my career. 0:10:46.370 --> 0:10:48.110 Then the consequences moved offline. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.600 At the time, I led Pledge Education for Delta Sigma Pi, 0:10:51.660 --> 0:10:55.200 a co-ed professional fraternity. My fellow leadership texted me that 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.800 though I was entitled to my personal views, the essay 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.180 conflicted with their values, and I was offered the choice 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.439 to take it down or resign from that professional fraternity. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:08.110 Hours later, I was expelled from my social fraternity because 0:11:08.170 --> 0:11:11.250 its leaders were concerned my beliefs would reflect poorly on 0:11:11.330 --> 0:11:16.980 my brothers. On and on it goes. That is Cornell. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.980 That is college campuses. So the fact that you've got 0:11:21.020 --> 0:11:24.500 the angry mob howling for what they call justice and 0:11:24.540 --> 0:11:26.880 they don't have any interest in the opposing point of 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.360 view just illustrates a point we've been talking about for 0:11:29.380 --> 0:11:32.890 a long time about college campuses and monoculture. And then 0:11:32.910 --> 0:11:35.410 the final, final point I wanted to get to, and 0:11:35.429 --> 0:11:41.050 this was pointed out, in 2019, the university's official health authority, 0:11:41.130 --> 0:11:46.370 Cornell Health, authored a guide for incoming students and current students. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.870 titled Sexual Pleasure, Finding the Sweet Spot. It opens by 0:11:50.900 --> 0:11:53.800 declaring that sex can make for a terrific study break. 0:11:54.670 --> 0:11:58.750 Students are encouraged to explore sexual fantasies, experiment with sex toys, 0:11:59.090 --> 0:12:03.310 and consider bondage and fetish gear. Exposure to pornography, Cornell 0:12:03.330 --> 0:12:06.829 assured us, in their thing for students is totally normal, 0:12:07.170 --> 0:12:09.790 though thankfully those interested in watching it are directed toward 0:12:09.950 --> 0:12:13.790 ethical performance. porn and feminist porn awards, et cetera, et cetera. 0:12:14.380 --> 0:12:18.120 But the same year, Cornell Health distributed self-exploration, which tells 0:12:18.140 --> 0:12:21.240 students they're entitled to experience all the pleasures their bodies 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.000 can provide, and instructs them to set aside private time 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.550 in pursuit of that goal, et cetera, et cetera. 0:12:25.890 --> 0:12:28.250 Here's the gist of what I was getting to. I'll 0:12:28.270 --> 0:12:28.850 do that today. 0:12:30.100 --> 0:12:33.940 The aforementioned sexual pleasure guide directs students to a checklist 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.330 entitled Yes, No, Maybe So, a sexual inventory stock list, 0:12:38.410 --> 0:12:40.750 a copy of which can be found on Cornell's health website. 0:12:41.190 --> 0:12:44.330 The list includes sex with two people at once, sex 0:12:44.370 --> 0:12:46.830 with three people at once. Sex with more than three 0:12:46.890 --> 0:12:54.200 people at once, cyber sex, open sexual relationships, sex toys, blindfolding, bondage, biting, scratching, spanking, 0:12:54.220 --> 0:12:59.200 and slapping for sexual pleasure, sexual clamps, and sexual activity involving. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.120 Various bodily fluids. 0:13:00.860 --> 0:13:03.420 Students are asked to classify these acts as yes, no, 0:13:03.500 --> 0:13:07.500 maybe fantasy, or unsure. There appears to be considerably more 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.720 enthusiasm for helping students identify their preferred form of restraint 0:13:12.140 --> 0:13:13.040 than for encouraging. 0:13:14.890 --> 0:13:16.170 restraint itself. 0:13:16.950 --> 0:13:20.670 So what did this sophomore do with that list which 0:13:20.710 --> 0:13:24.680 your university encouraged her to think about? How about bondage? 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.640 How about sex toys? How about multiple partners? What do 0:13:27.660 --> 0:13:30.580 you think of this stuff? Why is the university doing 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:36.920 this at all? That's the sexual atmosphere at Cornell. And 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.530 now this girl who allegedly was willingly participating in this, 0:13:40.610 --> 0:13:43.640 regretted it afterward, it got out of hand, etc., is 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.230 now pretending that this came out of nowhere. 0:13:47.750 --> 0:13:49.630 Please. Peace in the free press. 0:13:49.690 --> 0:13:52.850 It's pretty interesting from a woman about the sexual revolution, 0:13:52.870 --> 0:13:55.310 and maybe this is the natural endpoint to it, the 0:13:55.330 --> 0:13:56.449 whole Cornell 7 thing. 0:13:56.809 --> 0:13:58.089 And we ought to go back to the way we 0:13:58.210 --> 0:13:58.490 used to. 0:13:58.470 --> 0:14:00.730 Look at this stuff, the relationship between men and women. 0:14:01.350 --> 0:14:02.710 Stay tuned for that and other stuff on the way. 0:14:04.390 --> 0:14:05.440 Armstrong and Getty. 0:14:11.510 --> 0:14:13.770 This is a very long piece in the free press. 0:14:14.010 --> 0:14:18.360 It's worth a read. The Sexual Revolution Failed Jane Doe 0:14:18.429 --> 0:14:21.400 by a woman named Lursa Phillips, who must be about 0:14:21.460 --> 0:14:25.619 our age because she came to her sexuality in the 80s. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.700 As a teenager, I watched the old frameworks we once 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.620 used to understand rape buckle in a post-sexual revolution world. 0:14:32.980 --> 0:14:36.000 The case of the Cornell 7 feels like the logical endpoint. 0:14:37.100 --> 0:14:37.180 Um. 0:14:39.060 --> 0:14:41.080 And her overall point, and then I'll read a couple 0:14:41.100 --> 0:14:44.780 of paragraphs, but her overall point is the freedom for 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.340 women to do whatever they want and be just like 0:14:47.420 --> 0:14:52.840 guys has not worked out because the dynamics of males 0:14:52.900 --> 0:14:55.960 versus females when it comes to sex aren't the same. 0:14:56.060 --> 0:15:01.950 They just aren't. And that seems pretty obviously true. Whether 0:15:01.970 --> 0:15:03.990 or not you think this incident was rape, it seems 0:15:04.070 --> 0:15:06.410 clear that none of the people involved were in control. 0:15:06.810 --> 0:15:09.620 This sex happened in a fuzzy gray area. Consent seems 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.180 to have existed in some form at some point, but 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.560 in the cold light of the days that followed and 0:15:14.620 --> 0:15:18.040 seen through the eyes of the campus commentariat. The event 0:15:18.100 --> 0:15:21.050 came to feel questionable, then wrong. As we argue over 0:15:21.110 --> 0:15:23.230 who was to blame, the men, the women, the alcohol, 0:15:23.270 --> 0:15:25.870 and the systems, I'm left wondering if this case is 0:15:25.910 --> 0:15:29.630 a natural consequence or perhaps the logical endpoint of the 0:15:29.730 --> 0:15:34.020 sexual revolution which I once considered my generation so fortunate 0:15:34.060 --> 0:15:36.410 to be a part of. I grew up thinking that 0:15:36.450 --> 0:15:39.350 the war for women's liberation had been won. My mother 0:15:39.370 --> 0:15:42.210 had rejected the sexist images she'd gotten in her childhood 0:15:42.230 --> 0:15:44.980 that girls can't, uh, had to do things like cross 0:15:45.010 --> 0:15:47.620 their ankles and keep their knees together and be compliant 0:15:47.660 --> 0:15:50.160 and quiet and nice. And then she goes out through, 0:15:50.420 --> 0:15:55.680 we took that from getting rid of that to we 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:00.690 can do anything, anytime, whatever. And, uh, And there won't 0:16:00.710 --> 0:16:03.490 be any negative results for that. The revolution taught that 0:16:03.710 --> 0:16:07.250 all young women must want sexual adventure. So any woman 0:16:07.270 --> 0:16:10.030 who doesn't seek it is a prude. And anyone advising 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.460 against it must be a misogynist jerk trying to keep 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.700 women in their place. Suggesting that girls should take precautions, 0:16:16.060 --> 0:16:18.479 be careful how much you drink, don't go upstairs in 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.680 a fraternity, was preemptively victim-blaming, slut-shaming, and woman-aiding. Women should 0:16:23.710 --> 0:16:25.410 be able to do what they wanted. And if anything 0:16:25.450 --> 0:16:27.650 happened to us, it wasn't our fault. Teach men not 0:16:27.690 --> 0:16:29.570 to rape and let women get back to taking on 0:16:29.590 --> 0:16:33.090 the world. But for me, all these ideals crashed headfirst 0:16:33.150 --> 0:16:36.050 in the reality before I was even halfway through ninth grade. 0:16:36.090 --> 0:16:39.690 And she talks about how she was raped and completely 0:16:40.090 --> 0:16:43.350 unprepared for the reality of the dynamics that can occur 0:16:43.410 --> 0:16:44.610 between men and women. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.640 Um, As I said, it's very, very long. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.560 But the ultimate point being, it has not worked out 0:16:51.660 --> 0:16:55.400 for us, she says. This whole, we're pretending to be 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.739 like guys, put ourselves out there however we want, it 0:16:58.820 --> 0:17:00.460 is not working to our benefit. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.140 And it really bothers me, the point she made about 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.139 if anybody says, hey, well, it just says essentially what 0:17:06.180 --> 0:17:09.300 she just did. You're a misogynist, you're a woman hater, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.740 you're undermining your fellow women, that sort of thing. 0:17:12.540 --> 0:17:14.100 It's, again, the consensus trap. 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.230 I wonder if this will be an end point. of 0:17:18.270 --> 0:17:19.730 the sexual revolution. We shall see. 0:17:22.230 --> 0:17:23.419 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:29.340 Nearly 80,000 cans of 7-Up Tropical Zero Sugar have been 0:17:29.380 --> 0:17:33.960 recalled because they mistakenly contain full sugar soda. This news 0:17:34.020 --> 0:17:37.060 first reported by a five-year-old who had climbed the Empire 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:37.500 State Building. 0:17:40.020 --> 0:17:43.179 I just came across a depressing political note from a 0:17:43.300 --> 0:17:45.260 foreign land. This is out of France. So I don't 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.830 know if you know Marine Le Pen's act. She's the hardcore, 0:17:48.890 --> 0:17:51.229 you know, we got to do something about our immigration problem. 0:17:52.100 --> 0:17:55.500 right-winger that has been floating around in French politics like 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.500 her dad did for many, many years. But she might 0:17:57.540 --> 0:17:59.679 actually win. She's leading in the polls. She might be 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.460 the next leader of France. Anyway, this is about how 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.660 populism is going to kill Western civilization, that everybody's into 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.980 it now. It's just such an easy way to get elected. 0:18:11.310 --> 0:18:13.190 Trump with his $ 5, 000 checks. 0:18:13.450 --> 0:18:14.609 You're the conservative? 0:18:14.950 --> 0:18:18.859 You're going to hand out $ 5, 000 checks to everybody. Marine 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.639 Le Pen wants to lower the retirement age to 60. Remember, 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.040 Macron tried to move it from 62 up to 64 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.340 and got politically killed for it. She wants to make 0:18:29.619 --> 0:18:32.619 it 60, which is her version of $ 5, 000 checks. 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.730 Wow, they're going to expand the socialist state? That's the conservative. 0:18:38.530 --> 0:18:38.810 Right. 0:18:39.410 --> 0:18:43.930 Doomed. Populism is going to kill us all. Wow! 0:18:44.750 --> 0:18:45.670 Yeah, yeah. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:48.199 Holy cow. 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:48.800 I know. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.270 I found that very depressing. You brought me down, too. 0:18:52.310 --> 0:18:54.790 You brought everybody down. You happy? You pleased with yourself? 0:18:54.950 --> 0:18:56.909 Kind of. Chief Dark Cloud. 0:18:56.950 --> 0:18:58.730 I've walked into parties where people are having a good time, 0:18:58.770 --> 0:19:00.090 and I thought, I'll take care of this. 0:19:02.250 --> 0:19:06.380 We'll make sure we're good at this. Oh, boy. 0:19:06.540 --> 0:19:10.600 Do you know who Shelby Steele is? He came from 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:17.810 Chicago's South Side. Tough place, tough upbringing. He became a 0:19:17.980 --> 0:19:22.230 fairly militant guy, as he says, full of black rage 0:19:22.430 --> 0:19:26.290 over the inequality he saw. He now happens to be 0:19:26.570 --> 0:19:28.629 an author, a professor, and a senior fellow at the 0:19:28.670 --> 0:19:32.060 Hoover Institution. He is also the featured narrator in a 0:19:32.140 --> 0:19:36.290 new documentary called White Guilt, which he produced with his son, Eli. 0:19:38.030 --> 0:19:41.470 I have not actually heard this trailer. I read about 0:19:41.510 --> 0:19:46.270 the movie, and it's super great. What a smart message 0:19:46.310 --> 0:19:48.590 it has, which we'll get to in a moment or two, 0:19:48.609 --> 0:19:49.970 but let's enjoy the trailer together. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:50.780 And see what we think. 0:19:51.300 --> 0:19:54.640 How is it that white guilt has come to grant 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:59.530 moral legitimacy to the enemies of the Western world? 0:20:06.810 --> 0:20:10.389 White guilt is a terror of being seen as a racist. 0:20:10.430 --> 0:20:18.129 It doesn't have anything to do with actual feelings of guilt. Hamas, 0:20:18.430 --> 0:20:21.189 the prototype of the anti-Western man. 0:20:21.650 --> 0:20:24.430 Hamas does brutal, brutal things. 0:20:24.570 --> 0:20:29.889 Avenge modernity. I first wrote about white guilt in the 1980s, 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.140 and I have watched it grow in America and across 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:37.560 the modern world. White supremacy was fast becoming white guilt. 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.530 The white man needs the Negro to free him. 0:20:40.510 --> 0:20:41.130 From his guilt. 0:20:41.290 --> 0:20:45.969 White guilt. President McCabe agreed to every one of our demands. 0:20:46.250 --> 0:20:50.070 He wanted to reclaim his innocence. I was full of 0:20:50.310 --> 0:20:54.739 black rage. As a black militant, I embraced the liberators 0:20:54.820 --> 0:20:58.360 of the so-called third world. Blacks sit at the bottom 0:20:58.540 --> 0:21:01.160 of nearly every meaningful statistic. 0:21:01.220 --> 0:21:03.080 Sometimes I feel that's by design. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:07.620 Black Lives Matter engineered one of the most successful grits, 0:21:07.619 --> 0:21:15.450 $ 82. 9 billion. My sin was challenging the systemic racism narrative. 0:21:15.570 --> 0:21:18.410 I've lost two years of my income because I'm white. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.540 No one should ever learn at the age of 13 0:21:20.540 --> 0:21:23.560 that the color of their skin carries more weight. I 0:21:23.580 --> 0:21:24.220 chose freedom. 0:21:24.300 --> 0:21:26.720 Instead of playing about politics, next week I'm going to 0:21:26.740 --> 0:21:27.510 be blacklisted. 0:21:27.570 --> 0:21:33.170 Britain looked away for years while Pakistani gangs raped hundreds 0:21:33.470 --> 0:21:34.330 of white girls. 0:21:34.450 --> 0:21:35.910 To avoid being called racist. 0:21:35.990 --> 0:21:40.140 Why does shit only fight against injustice if white people 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:41.020 are the issue? 0:21:41.100 --> 0:21:44.580 Whites have been shrunken. White people are just racist. 0:21:45.690 --> 0:21:50.080 Done the slow suicide of the west should the civilization 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:55.500 that made the individual possible finally collapse the backward man 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.420 will still be congratulating himself before the darkness. 0:21:58.980 --> 0:22:00.640 Falls on him too. 0:22:04.369 --> 0:22:07.669 People have always asked me shelby what's the answer to 0:22:07.730 --> 0:22:14.800 this evil of white guilt be an american. 0:22:15.830 --> 0:22:18.490 I love Shelby Steele. I have for a very long time. 0:22:19.369 --> 0:22:24.790 So the point, in case it wasn't clear, and Eli, 0:22:24.850 --> 0:22:27.350
