1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the program that the one one

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: of the things I think is driving this campaign, and

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: it's invisible. I think there's a whole lot of people

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: fed up with the chickification of our culture. And it's

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: not anything to do with anti woman or anti feminism

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: or anti female. It has to do with the fact

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: that there is an assault on manhood. There's an assault

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: on masculinity. Masculinity and automatically is toxic. Masculinity is automatically barbaric.

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Men in their natural state are just a bunch of

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: bullies and brutes who even mistreat their own children. And

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: this is something that has been creeping into our society

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: for years, for decades, ever since the modern era of

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: feminism in the late sixties early seventies got going and

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: rapped up to full speed. And the chickification of our

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: culture you find it everywhere. You find it in the

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: news business, especially uh not on camera but off and

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: not the writers, but the editors and the assignment editors,

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the producers and so forth. And men men do whatever

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: is necessary to attract women to do the men. It's

20
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: not hard for women to wrap around a finger. I

21
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of men are getting fed up with it.

22
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people are fed up with it. Uh.

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: And again it's not an anti woman thing. It is

24
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: a it's a fear over over the fact that manhood

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: is being lost. Uh. Manhood, masculinity, the strong male influence

26
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: of a father on a family has has been denuded,

27
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: it has been criticized, it has uh. And so there's

28
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: less of it, and there are there's there's a story

29
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: about that, which is why I'm reviving this. There's a

30
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: story about this very thing today. I have been once

31
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: again one of the few consistently over these past two decades,

32
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: twenty years and more, talking about the dangers of the

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: chick ification of our culture, and not in again, not

34
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: with any animus toward women. It is there there. But

35
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: there has been an assault on men being men, men

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: being who they naturally are, and it's not good. We've

37
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: got evidence of it out there. Now, before I get

38
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: into that, here's a story that appears to have nothing

39
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: to do with it, but it has everything to do

40
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: with it. You may have heard at the Big Ten

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Conference announced some time ago they weren't gonna play college

42
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: football this year. You know why. Well, I don't want

43
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: to make anybody mad, but um. There was a lot

44
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: of fear, a lot of fear virus. How are we

45
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: going to control it? H And there was so much pressure.

46
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: There was pressure from the Coronavirus task for a pressure

47
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: from Dr Fauci, pressure from Dr Burke's, pressure from everywhere,

48
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: don't do it, don't do it. But not everybody decided

49
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: not to do it. The National Football League decided to play.

50
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean they never decided not to. I mean the

51
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: National Football League never wavered during this entire year. They

52
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: were going to start their season. There was some adjustments

53
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: when it was scheduled to start. There was no preseason

54
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: this year, and there was no There are a lot

55
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: of adjustments made. There was no preseason travel, there were

56
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: no joint practices. But the season started on time this

57
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: past weekend. So now here comes the Big Tents. Some

58
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: other colleges are playing l s U is gonna play,

59
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Yes EC. So the Big Ten reversed itself. Big ten said,

60
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna play. They're gonna start their

61
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: season in mid October, mid to late October, and they're

62
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna play, and they're gonna play a full season. I

63
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: get to buy for the National Championship. Big Ten all that,

64
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: and look at this the USA today. Christine Brennan, female

65
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: sports writer, Big Ten's decision to play football signals darkest

66
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: day in conferences sports history. I have to tell you

67
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: the and and one of the reasons why the Big

68
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: ten reversed its because they saw that the NFL has

69
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: figured out how to do it. They saw that it

70
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: can be done. So there's a little me too. It

71
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: is um here, Hey, we want to get in on

72
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: this too. If we could play, we want to play.

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: They realized they jumped the gun. Their decision making was

74
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: a little flawed. So here comes Christine Brennan and a

75
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: whole lot of the sports media, which has also been

76
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: very chick ified. See, the left was happy. The left

77
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: was happy that they had scared people enough to cancel

78
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: college football. They wanted to get rid of the pageantry.

79
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: They wanted to get rid of the American flags on parade.

80
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: They wanted to get rid of the national anthem. They

81
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of all of the celebrations of

82
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: American traditionalism and institutionalism that was part of college football.

83
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: They wanted to get rid of it. And they were

84
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: ecstatic when the Big Ten said they weren't playing if

85
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: you look. If you look at the state where the

86
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: where the college conferences have decided to not play and play,

87
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: they're blue and red Democrats states where the conference headquarters

88
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: are decided not to play. Red states were playing. And

89
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: they were so happy. The left was so happy they

90
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: had scared people enough to cancel college football. Now now

91
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: the sports writers, including a bunch of women, are melting

92
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: down over the Big Ten's reversal. They give me a

93
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: pool quote here. While much of the blame for the

94
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: awful about face goes to the university presidents who chose

95
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: money and football over insanity and caution, the new Big

96
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: Ten commissioner Kevin Warren also contributed greatly to this pr nightmare.

97
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: This is a man nearly in way over his head. See.

98
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what a brute, this guy. All he cares

99
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: about his money and football. And what the hell else

100
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: is the Big Ten about. It's always about money in football.

101
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Everything is about money, the biggest secret in the world, apparently,

102
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: this poor guy, writes Christine Brennan's poor guy was out

103
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: maneuvered by a few loud mouth coaches. For Heaven's sake,

104
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: No matter how he explains that it's clear that he

105
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: in the league flip flopped so that Ohio State can

106
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: try to win a national title and a Big ten

107
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: can still make lots of money off the backs of

108
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty two year olds in the middle of

109
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a pandemic. So you see, college football is nothing but

110
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: exploit That's right, nothing but a bunch of young kids

111
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: being exploit No, do you realize these kids that we're

112
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: not going to play college football this year? Do you

113
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: realize what the impairment on their futures was gonna be

114
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: for many of these people. You can say sadly or not,

115
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. For many of these people.

116
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Football is a way out. Football is away up. Football

117
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: is like any other number of sports. Football is a

118
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: ticket to success and prosperity. And they were just going

119
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: to take this year away from them, have it taken

120
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: away from him. It was going to have severe limitations

121
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: on their potential and their future. But now we find

122
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: out that all of this is just not about any

123
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: of that. It's about exploiting young eighteen to twenty two

124
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: year olds. So, as she writes here, as we move

125
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: into October and November, into what the experts say will

126
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: be our worst days, as COVID combines with the flu.

127
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: The stops and starts of the conferences that are trying

128
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: to play now tell us there are likely to be

129
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: postponements and perhaps cancelations of Big Ten games. So you yeah,

130
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: It's always amazed me that so many people in sports

131
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: writing don't like sports. It's always men and women. I

132
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: know that's not a a gender thing. It just amazes

133
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: me how many of the people actually cover sports don't

134
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: like it, find things wrong with it. Now to the story.

135
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: It is my Alex Perez. He's a Cuban American writer

136
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: for Miami. The story appears in the Daily Caller and

137
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: the headline of the story the multicultural male coalition that

138
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: could give Trump for more years. Wait a minute, what

139
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the multicultural male coalition that could give Trump four more years?

140
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Let me share with you how his peace opens here

141
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: and and what this is about the disappearing masculinity in

142
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: American culture that Donald Trump reminds everybody of positively that

143
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: we miss it, that it has a place. Mr Perez writes,

144
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: a year after the election, I overheard my first conversation

145
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: in which two young men of color discussed the political

146
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: issues of the day. I don't remember what they were

147
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: going on about, But the fact that they were going

148
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: on about politics with such fervor was what struck me immediately.

149
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: As young men discussing politics, why that was a rarity

150
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: in my working class Miami neighborhood, where typically it was

151
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: older guys who engaged in these sometimes heated discussions. Sitting

152
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: across from these two guys at Starbucks, I noted their

153
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: interaction as an entertaining anomaly, and I chalked it up

154
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: to the current hyper politicized cultural moment in which anyone

155
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: at any time might surprise you with their clearly newfound

156
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: interest in politics. Which is to say that I expected

157
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: to encounter no more than a handful of these political

158
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: squabbles between young men of color in the ensuing years

159
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: of the Trump era, as the possibility of a broad

160
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: political realignment driven by this traditionally disinterested demographic went against

161
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: all conventional wisdom. Meeting young men of color talking about

162
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: politics never gonna happen. Not enough, I'm gonna engage in

163
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: it to make a difference. Far fetched? Boy was I wrong,

164
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: he writes. In the months and years to follow, all

165
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: were Miami, in bars, coffee shops, at the gym, I

166
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: would overhear and was sometimes pulled into these rudimentary political

167
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: conversations between young men of color. And what was immediately

168
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: obvious was that a majority, if not all, of these

169
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: young men were brought into their nascent political awareness by

170
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: issues relating to their masculinity and manhood. An arc type emerged.

171
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: These were young men who never thought about politics until

172
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: politics knocked on their door and made them aware of

173
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: its existence, as in Hello Donald Trump. Like so many,

174
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: personal grievance is what drove them into the political arena

175
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: and what was driving their politics the gist of their beef.

176
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: When the hell did it stop being okay to be

177
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: a regular dude? When did it stop being okay to

178
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: be a guy? When did be being a guy all

179
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden think I'm a negative? When it? When?

180
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: When did it made it a target? Now let me

181
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: give you some pull quotes. It's a long story. I

182
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: have to touch a long story. We'll link to it

183
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: at rush lamba dot com. But what what Mr Alex

184
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Perez is saying here There are a lot of young

185
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Hispanic and Black men who are sick of not being

186
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: allowed to be masculine, and they are going to vote

187
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: for Trump, and nobody knows they are out there. And

188
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: this is folks. This is one of the reasons why

189
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: I love that Donald Trump celebrates our heroes. Donald Trump

190
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: celebrates American greatness. Donald Trump promises and ongoing American greatness,

191
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: a revival of it, and a continuation of it. Donald

192
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Trump is fearless in talking about his love and respect

193
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: for everything to do with this country. He will not

194
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: concede a single point to the people that hate it,

195
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: not a single point. He stands up for it, He

196
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: defends it, He loves America, is proud of it, and

197
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: we are blessed to have him in the position he

198
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: is in because without him, can you name somebody else

199
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: who would be defending the country you love and you

200
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: believe is great and you believe deserves to be dependent.

201
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Can you think of anybody who would step into his

202
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: into his role? I mean you might be able to,

203
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: but you'd have to think about it for a while.

204
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: I love when Trump defended that Army ranger he gave

205
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: a Medal of Freedom to This week, UH freed seventy

206
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: five hostages in a rock the helicopter heroes who saved

207
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six people to ring a fire.

208
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump celebrates the heroes. He tells everybody who the

209
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: heroes are. He credits this country for creating them, for

210
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: celebrating them. Try this pull quote from Alex Perez's story.

211
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: All this is to say that the Democrat Party is

212
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: now the party of women and those who identify with

213
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: the overly feminine sensibility. Not that there's anything wrong with it,

214
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. The Democrat Party is

215
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: now the party of women. And you hear them tell

216
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: of the females of white, white suburban women, this white

217
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: suburban women, that we've got to make sure we don't

218
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: make a man. We're gonna go out and find a

219
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: way to relate to them. We're gonna and whatever they're

220
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: never wrong, but never whatever they believe. We got to

221
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: find a way to convince these women that were on

222
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: their side. We don't dare tell them they're ever wrong

223
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: about anything. I'm talking about politics here. There's nothing wrong

224
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: with this being your cup of tea, of course, but

225
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Democrats shouldn't be surprised when young men of all stripes

226
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: are turned off by a party that is completely devoid

227
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: of any masculine energy. And let me tell you Mr.

228
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Perez is so on the money here. You take a

229
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: look at the big names in the Democrat Party. You

230
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: don't love. The sentence finishes itself another Pool quote here.

231
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: I suspect this trend has been obvious for some time

232
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: now to anybody who lives in an urban center. But

233
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: recently Charles Blow the New York Times was caught off

234
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: guard by the new reality and tweeted today my friends

235
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: in Atlanta who are black saw a Facebook message from

236
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: their old barber who is black, imploring them to vote

237
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: for Trump. Don't think that Trump's message doesn't resonate with

238
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: a certain sector of black men. Also, barbers have a

239
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: lot of sway in the black community. How blows alarm

240
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: comes to the realization that young multicultural males treasure and

241
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: value masculinity, and that's how they see Trump. This is

242
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: the final um little observation here from the column by

243
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: Alex Perez and a Daily caller about the possibility of

244
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: a new masculinity benefiting Trump says, it's an open question

245
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: as to whether young men of color will actually turn

246
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: out for Trump. But if the Republican Convention was any

247
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: indication the Republican Party is making a play for them.

248
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: Much has been said of the conventions America is great message,

249
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: but what was played up almost as much, whether intentionally

250
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: or not, was the power, were and virtue of traditional masculinity.

251
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: There were Senator ten Scott's speech, in which he traced

252
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: his family's rise from slavery to the highest reaches of

253
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: American power, delivered in the oratory style of a man

254
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: who had never given up, whose familial legacy of overcoming

255
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: nearly insurmountable odds would make the thought of accepting his

256
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: plight inconceivable. The speech spoke to all Americans, of course,

257
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: but it can't go unnoticed that it was delivered by

258
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: a man of color who had risen to the top

259
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: in large part due to classic masculine virtues stoicism and

260
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: stick tuitiveness. Those are very powerful virtues. Then there was

261
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: the Cuban American old timer, Maximal Alvarez, self made businessman

262
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: and liked him Scott, the epitome of the American dream.

263
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: He spoke with the masculine ferocity and power of Vince Lombardy.

264
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: The greatest example of masculine strength at the Republican Convention

265
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: occurred when Madison Cawthorne, a disabled young man running for

266
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: North Carolina's eleventh congressional district, stood up from his wheelchair

267
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: after delivering a barn burner of a speech. It was

268
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: an incredibly moving moment, made all the more so by

269
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: the fact that he was flanked by a couple of

270
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: friends who assisted him as he stood. But then they vamosed.

271
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: They got out of the way. Once he made it up,

272
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: once he succeeded in his objective, he engaged in a

273
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: prime example of masculine strength as well as brotherly kinship.

274
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: He accepted help. Masculinity doesn't mean that you're all in

275
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: it all by yourself and to hell with anybody else.

276
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: So these three speeches, too, delivered by men of color,

277
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: made a case for the nobility of traditional masculinity. Says

278
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that these three speeches spoke to

279
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: young men of color in a way they could understand.

280
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: You are an American man, stand up to what needs

281
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: to be done, don't cower. Mr Alvarez says, I I

282
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: can't imagine a better message not only for meta color,

283
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: but all men, a message that might drive them to

284
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: vote in record numbers in November. He's guessing he's not

285
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: guaranteeing anything,
