Time Text
Well, it's true that we love one another.
I love Jack White like a little brother Well, Holly Live from New York Kevin McGuinness Jack, give me some money to pay my bill.
All the bill will give you holly you've been using on pain bill.
Jack, will you call me if you're able?
I got your phone number written in the back of my bottle.
Okay, the reason I chose that song was because it doesn't it sound like yesterday's song?
Country-ish music, two people in love, singing that they love each other and talking in a sort of conversational way.
So let's go back to yesterday's song, shall we?
Listen to this now.
Who's that money?
She gets it on like the Easter bunny.
She's my baby.
I'm her honey.
I'm never gonna let her go.
He ain't got late in a month of Sundays.
Caught him once and he was sniffing my undies.
He ain't too sharp, but he gets...
Now play the other song again.
Well, it's true that we love one another.
I love Jack White like a little brother.
All right, that's enough.
It's an homage.
That's not a ripoff.
I'll tell you, I'll play another ripoff tomorrow.
Burt Janch.
Led Zeppelin totally ripped him off.
A Scottish, a fellow Scotsman.
Now, that's a bloody ripoff.
This is an homage.
Front page of the post, we still got the same guy.
Fatal error.
Military fell up, allowed killer to buy guns.
I'm bored of this already.
He was an atheist.
If he did it because he hated Christians, that's terrorism.
Stop talking about background checks and how it could have been prevented.
That's not the solution.
The solution is more guns.
And you know what?
We're in a country of 320 million people.
There's going to be some senseless massacres.
I know I sound like Siddi Khan saying terrorism is just part and parcel of living in a big city, but in a country of 320 million, I mean, I think one of the worst massacres we ever had was the Bath High School massacre, and that was in 29.
I forget how many were killed there, but it was all little kids.
One of the worst things ever.
Do not Google it.
But that wasn't guns.
That was dynamite.
We have a jam-packed show for you tonight.
I'm going to be on ITV if you're in Britain.
ITV has this segment called On Assignment.
ITV is the private company in Britain, not BBC, not government-funded news.
But I'm doing a thing there tonight on satire in the age of Trump, which with Graydon Carter and big names.
And I'm one of the only right-wing guys, so we'll see if it's a hit piece.
I remain optimistic.
Although the guy who did it was a raging liberal.
He lived in Johannesburg and didn't own a gun.
His neighbours were killed.
And he goes, I think one of the reasons I did so well is that I...
He had more of a Scottish English accent.
I think one of the reasons I did so well is I wasn't armed.
Because when you're armed, they have no choice but to shoot you.
Interesting attitude, sir.
It did well for the people at the church.
So I've got Dana Lash on the show to discuss not guns, not the shooting, not that she's ending four years at the Blaze, but parenting.
When I have a guest on, sometimes I want to do something new and not the same old regurgitated talking points we see every time.
And speaking of regurgitated talking points, I'm going to get inside my TV and bitch about Ivanka Trump.
I haven't criticized anything remotely Trump for a year and I'm done.
I'm not done with Trump, but I'm done being a good guy, being fiercely loyal.
I've had enough of this advisor to the president.
And you know how when you're watching TV and you want to crawl into it and say something?
I did.
And you'll see that live on this show.
And speaking of live, it's 8 p.m.
You have one hour left to elect Nicole Mulatakis.
I hope that's your name.
And stop the re-election of Bill de Blasio here in New York City.
It's not going to happen.
But we can dream, right?
They said Trump wasn't going to happen.
We also have Nick Searcy on the show.
You may remember him as Chief Deputy United States Marshal Art Mullen on FX is Justified, for which he won a Peabody.
And I'm going to ask him what we all want to know, which is how are you surviving?
He's a sane guy.
He did the Gosnell movie.
Two years ago, I spoke to him about this movie.
Now, this movie investigates an abortion doctor who committed hundreds, I'm going to say, hundreds of third trimester abortions.
And it gave the nurses PTSD.
They're having to kill these fetuses.
So he did a great movie about it with Phelan McCaller, and there was all kinds of trouble with the funding.
And now that it's done, no distributors want to go near it.
So I'm going to ask him about that and how a conservative survives in Hollywood.
I also got my buddy Alex on the show.
We were talking in a bar, and I said, I bet you if you went around and just talked to New Yorkers and said, what's communism, what's fascism, I bet you get a very broad definition of fascism that includes me and Hitler.
And I bet for communism, it sounds optimistic and there won't be a lot of genocide or dead bodies discussed.
They'll probably say it means sharing.
So he did that.
And not to give it away, but of course we were right.
It's New York City.
But before anything, I want to start with Dana Lash and parenting and tell you why I chose this, why I chose this topic out of all the things I could have talked to Dana Lash about.
Her oldest had to write a poem in the fashion of Where I'm From from George Ella Lyon for English.
His teacher sent a note with his poem in clothes, graded 100.
And this poem is so good.
I'm going to set up a website for the show where you can start seeing these things.
But check out her son writing about where he's from.
And it's such a perfect response to the teacher's assignment that we can all hope as parents to get something like this.
I am from Legos and lightsaber fights, from the mints in my grandfather's tan-seated van To his four-wheeler in the tall grass through the woods, to the garage, which smelled of oil and used power tools, past the heavy-hanging coats, to the fridge at the back of the laundry room.
In the dark, quiet room as a storm rages outside, from eating chips on a brown couch to playing catch with my cousin.
This is what we're going for as parents.
This is our goal for our kids to think like this.
I am from the garage where we would fill the alleyways with the sounds of bottle rockets.
I'm from, I'm actually tearing up here.
I'm from the shoes that squeak on the shiny gym floor, from our hamster that went 100 miles an hour on his wheel, to the earthquake in our city.
I'm from the chicken at Hodaks, to my father's employees, to the discussions of work from my father's co-workers, sitting on metal chairs, observing the tall and worn-down buildings under the layers of gray clouds.
It goes on like that, and it inspired me to contact Dana and say, come on the show.
Let's not talk about guns and the blades and the same old thing.
I want to hear about you being a mom.
Ladies and gentlemen, Nationally Syndicated Talk Radio host, TV commentator, and spokesperson for the NRA, Dana Lash.
Dana, are you there?
I am, Gavin.
Good to be with you.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks for coming on.
I've been trying to get you for a while.
Now, you're the top gun expert I know.
You seem to be the most well-versed in this subject, but I am sick of talking about this.
We covered it yesterday with John Lott for like 40 minutes.
And he's fantastic, by the way.
He is a walking encyclopedia.
He is so great.
He's so knowledgeable.
He's so calm.
Yeah, I don't think he gets upset.
I don't know how he feels about guns.
I mean, he never expressed it.
He's only talked about it.
He just goes, well, that's one theory.
My research says, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Take it as you will.
He doesn't sleep.
All he does is blink and research.
That's it.
It's like that SpongeBob episode where Squidward tells SpongeBob to forget everything except breathing and fine dining.
John Lott can only remember breathing and research.
When I think of my interviews with him, I just see the sun in the background, then it's dark out, then it's sunny out.
I think he just sees the sun as a planet that moves around in the background once he talks.
I agree.
I agree.
But what I do want to talk to you about, and no one ever talks to you about this, is parenting.
Oh, wow.
I am upset.
Like, I didn't, when I first had my first kid, I thought, oh, I'll be expected to make go-karts for the boys and dollhouses for the girls.
But 80% of my parenting is now hearing silence and like a corrections officer going over to their cells and taking the contraband screen away.
Yep.
No, that's exactly what, that's exactly what it's like.
In fact, you feel like a jailer in some respects.
I want to make sure that they don't have, that they're not doing something that they're supposed to be.
And the thing that really sucks is that they use the internet so much for research for school.
And they actually, you know, they'll do Google Slides and they do all of this other stuff.
My oldest son has like all these presentations that he has to do.
And so if I see him on the internet, he's like, well, wait a minute, hold up.
I know you said no internet, but I have to have the internet in order to do this project for school.
So, and he's gotten really good at this.
He'll say, I mean, I guess if you want to go and tell my teacher that I couldn't do the assignment because you banned me from the internet, I mean, I guess you'll have to send her so passively.
I guess you'll have to send her an email tonight.
And I was so excited when they learned to talk.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they are getting too smart too.
Like last night I told my son, did you know your large intestines and your small intestines, if you were to stretch them out, it would go several miles?
And he goes, no.
And I go, yeah, I think I've even, maybe it can go all the way to the moon, I think I heard.
And he goes, no, not even close.
And then he looks it up and it's like 30 feet.
So my authority had been usurped by this stupid Google machine.
Your influence is diminished, which is kind of good and bad.
It's bad because it can be diminished by corrupt influences, but it's also kind of a good thing because sometimes- I know, go figure.
And the actual thing that they're debating this week in his group is gun control.
And so he had this big conversation about it.
And he told me a fact that simply wasn't true.
And I always tell him, I said, you have to approach this with logic and reason because heaven knows that there are people who refuse to do that.
And they will approach this with emotion and just hyperbole, everything else.
So you have to make sure that you're coming to this conversation from a perspective of truth.
And so I corrected him, and he argued with me about this.
I thought, no, no, no, not in this house.
Go look it up.
And so that's when the internet completely confirmed it.
And then I was apparently listed as one of the sources, one of the things that were looked up.
So I just have that smug parenting moment.
You know, that's really what we live for, the smugness, and then also every now and then, lightheartedly getting to embarrass your children.
I mean, that's what really makes life great.
Yeah, well, it's also, I mean, we live in a very liberal enclave here in New York, so I don't want to become the right-wing family.
I don't want the kids to be ostracized, but I also don't want them to be taught lies.
And even at church, at my church, they said they take a thing where they separate the kids only at certain times of the year, and the kids go to another area, like the little kids, so they won't bother.
And in that little section, they were told about guns.
It was on Martin Luther King's birthday, and they were told how evil they are.
And the young volunteer there said, if only we could have a giant bonfire and burn all the guns, which, by the way, I don't know if you know what they're made of, but they're not known for starting fires.
Yeah, I know.
That doesn't really work that way.
I mean, unless you want to blow a lot of stuff up.
That doesn't really work that way.
You know, you should have told your child, hey, bring up the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to get a gun permit and was denied repeatedly because he wanted to protect his life from crazy big government far-left progressives.
I did.
I mean, you have to do that.
You have to sort of take off your glasses and go, all right.
Yeah, he wasn't killed by a gun.
He was killed by a person, and he had a whole stockpile of guns at his home, which I assume were illegal because they kept refusing to give him a license.
Yeah, and he had to because he kept having people come to his house, and they were trying to vandalize his home.
They tried to burn down his house with him in it.
So, yeah, it was very, I mean, he had legitimate threats upon his life.
And I remember last year on Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, I was telling my kids about this and said, so remember, if you're having a discussion and you feel it's important to bring this point up in class, you know, by all means, go ahead if you feel so inclined.
So that's, you always have to combat that.
I love, I mean, it's Texas and the schools down here are good.
I think that they're good in terms of ideology and not shoving stuff down kids' throats because they really do encourage.
I love our school.
I love our school because it's almost in a way, it's like Ronald Reagan came in and built it.
Oh, you're right.
And it's just, I know.
I wanted to go here.
I mean, one of the first things that I did when we went and talked to the principal, I was asking about the security situation.
And the principal said, well, you know, I just built my own AR-15.
It's here under the desk.
You know, if you want to see it.
I looked at my husband.
I said, can we come to this school?
I really, I really want to enroll as a student.
I'll even pay a higher rate.
I don't care.
So it's a nice Christian school.
And I love it.
I mean, I love the kids' school and I love the teachers.
And I love the fact that they don't think, if nobody's a freak there because everybody's a freak, I guess.
So it's great.
And I'm very thankful for that.
But even then, every now and then, though, you still get a little bit because it's just how much culture has corrupted.
It has corrupted academia.
It has corrupted youth.
And every now and then, something will slip in.
And I don't really, my boys are pretty set in their worldview.
It's not like we shoved anything down their throats, but this is a house of truth and logic and reason.
And that's exactly how we present it to them.
And you can't argue against irrefutable truth.
And so they have taken that to their classrooms as well.
And not a lot slips by.
They always get the highest marks in classroom discussions.
So that makes me a proud mama.
I saw that little poem he wrote, and it was disturbing.
It was so good.
It was creepy.
Right?
It was like Damien or something.
And I framed it.
It was amazing.
I was so, you know, I'm not like a crier or anything, but I was moved to where I was bawling my eyes out.
I know, it's happening.
It's wet here.
So bad.
But I was really impressed with him doing that.
Isn't that an amazing time when your kids really, I mean, you know, we think our kids are great, but then there are these moments where they really, really impress us and they just blow our minds.
And you think that has to do with way more than just me.
Yeah, there's something fishy going on upstairs with these kids.
Well, you know, parenting isn't even close to what I thought it would be.
It's telling the kids that, you know, I was watching a baseball dock with my boy the other day and they're talking about this Japanese pitcher.
And then they go, and that's what's so great about globalism.
And I'm going, what the?
You injected globalism into this documentary about the Mets?
So we're policing all this information, telling them Martin Luther King wasn't killed by a gun, blah, blah, blah.
So the work is different, but the rewards are still the same.
The rewards are still them doing this incredible stuff and making you so happy that you had them.
Well, and they do well in spite of all of the stuff thrown at them.
It's not easy to be a kid nowadays.
I mean, when I was in high school, that's just, that's when the AOL chat rooms were hot, you know?
I mean, and you thought you were like totally BA if you were able to get into an AOL chat room and throw a little code in and have a theme song play as you entered.
I mean, that was just really what it was all about.
That's really dorky.
But when you're, you know, a 14, 15 year old, that's amazing.
And, but we didn't have, like, that was before we had all the microblogging.
And it was before we really had social media.
So we didn't have our lives lived on Instagram and Facebook and Tumblr and Twitter, et cetera, et cetera, Snapchat.
So now kids, that whole sphere of influence has increased for them.
See, with us, it was just really, it was television and it was comics and books and in our classroom.
Now it's all of that plus this hyper, you know, the reality world in which we live that's broadcast on television, the materialism and excess that's sold on social media, the immorality that's sold on social media, the political brainwashing that's sold on social media.
And they get this every single day and it's incredibly clever in the deceptive way that it's presented to kids.
What I think our side in terms of being ideologically limited government and pro-individualism, I think that that has, we have been really, really good than any previous generation of combating that in both an academic and entertainment space because we get it.
Politics are downstream from culture, as my really good friend Andrew Breitbart once said.
And it's true.
We're realizing that and we're finally pushing back.
So even though it feels like the world's just going to hell around us, I do feel a little optimistic in that I can see some of the benefits of that pushback.
I mean, Gavin, look at what's going on in Hollywood right now with everything coming forward.
People are not tolerating it anymore.
And a lot of, even though there's a lot of mainstream media bias out there, you also have shows like yours.
And you have new media that's been able to push back and hold accountable all of this.
And people aren't dumb.
They know that they can go and get their information from more than just NBC Nightly News.
They know they can go to CRTV, Conservative Review.
They can go to IJR.
They can go to a number of different places.
And they can get either a different viewpoint that will help balance out the progressive one they've gotten through all of these other mediums, or they can get, and this is a shocker, actual information that's just the facts jack, and they can process it on their own and determine from that what their opinion is going to be.
So it's a different ballgame.
Well, the establishment has become the media, has become the liberals, and kids are naturally rebellious.
So maybe they'll rebel against this dogma, this mainstream garbage that they're being fed.
No, I hope so.
And I think that they are.
I think they are rebelling against it.
And I think it helps when they see their parents rebelling against it.
You know, just ever so politely, but ever so consistently.
That's a great example for them to have.
Great.
Well, you're an inspiration, Dana, and you're an inspiration to your kids.
And I hope you can survive this brutal cold wave sweeping through your town.
Oh, however, I declare, however, will I Leo?
You guys have to come down to Texas and have some family range day.
Oh, I would love to be around sane people.
Just try it.
Just once.
Come to America, Gavin.
Thanks for coming on.
Good to see you.
Thanks so much.
Polly.
There won't be anything left for anybody else.
How do you survive down there with those lunatics?
You know, it's very relaxing.
I have my friends and my family.
You know, I work when I want To pretty much, and I don't have to have that much contact with them, and vice versa.
Well, is it possible they just see you as a method actor and you're pretending you're like Daniel Day Lewis?
You don't really believe all this stuff, you're just getting into the role.
Yeah, no, I don't think they see me that way.
You know, the thing that's funny is like when I'm on set or when I'm actually at work, there is no problem.
I mean, everybody gets along fine.
It's all this sort of chatter that goes on when you're not there.
That's interesting.
Because you talk to someone like Stossel or people in news media, and if they are the only ones at ABC who are remotely right-wing, they're pariahs.
But I bet Hollywood actors are too big of a pussy to ever say anything and would just rather talk privately in their trailer than actually say something to your face.
You know, it's funny.
I mean, one of the last projects I worked on, you know, I think they didn't know who I was right away, or at least they didn't know maybe my political affiliations or whatever.
And so during the first couple of days, there was a lot of chatter about politics because it was just assumed that everybody was on the same page.
And then a couple of days later, I didn't really say anything because I don't, you know, I don't engage with people at work.
That's not what I'm there for.
We're there to make a show or whatever.
And so a couple of days later, I guess they figured it out because all of that stopped.
They just don't engage with me about that.
You've got your peabody.
Maybe you're at a level where everyone around you is sort of less accomplished and doesn't want to rock the boat.
Well, and plus I have that old thing going for me.
I'm older than they are most of the time.
So they're going to go, that old guy, let him go, think what he wants.
They sort of have some respect for me because of that.
Now, you're a North Carolinian.
You lived in New York for a long time.
You've been doing this for a few years now.
Has it always been this ridiculous?
I mean, was there more of a balance, say, in your off-Broadway days in New York?
Yeah, you know, it wasn't this ridiculous when I started out.
I didn't even really, I wasn't even that political, you know, when I first started out.
And also, I kind of got my film career going in North Carolina.
Did some roles that were there and then sort of had my big break in a movie Fried Green Tomatoes that sort of made a big splash.
But, you know, being in North Carolina, there's much more mix of like, you know, not all the actors in North Carolina are Democrats, you know.
So I think by the time I had my career going and had actually moved to Los Angeles, I didn't know I was supposed to keep my mouth shut.
I didn't know that it was a bad thing to be who I am in Hollywood.
And so by the time I figured it out, it was too late and everybody already knew.
And so I just rolled into it.
Well, I noticed you're in this new movie, Best of Enemies, where you're the wealthy leader of the White Citizens Council, which sounds like the Council of Conservative Citizens a little bit there.
It can't be a coincidence they cast you as this evil, racist, rich guy.
Well, the movie's also set in North Carolina.
I mean, that's part of why they cast me.
But, you know, when my agent called me about this role, he said, you know, I know you have a black son and everything.
You know, do you really want to do this?
And I said, you know, my son knows that I've played Democrats before.
I can play one again.
Beautiful.
Well, that's the part I don't get.
And I always ask this to actors, you have all these liberals everywhere.
Sure, fine.
But a country like America is inevitably going to be 50-50.
Don't you want money?
Didn't you see what happened with American Sniper?
Why do you keep digging yourself, not you, but them, a financial grave with all this dumb, like Matt Damon doing a movie about fracking or Will Smith talking about how evil football is?
Don't you want to make a profit?
You know, I think part of it is that they're, you know, they're all trying to impress each other and they're selling their movies to each other.
So they're kind of, it's kind of like the healthcare system where the cost is not transferred to the right people.
You know, they don't pay a price.
They just got their movie made.
They got paid.
The box office doesn't really matter to the people who made the movie.
It matters to the people funding it.
And so they're just trying to impress each other with their like-minded politics, I think.
But surely they're not going to get a distributor if they've got some terrible movie about why we need more refugees or something.
Well, most of these movies have distributors before they make them.
I mean, that's part of the deal.
And that's why it's so hard for independent films, you know, like Gosnell, like the one that I've directed that hasn't come out yet.
If you don't have your distribution deal in place to begin with, it's hard to get one, especially if you're cutting against the grain of the Hollywood political biosphere.
Well, that's what seems to be happening with Gosnell.
I'm glad we segued smoothly into this.
This was finished a long time ago, right?
Yeah, the last time I talked to you was two years ago.
I was just remembering.
I was in Oklahoma City shooting the movie.
So it's been two years since we shot it.
And to be honest, I really don't have any news about it because I'm not involved in that end of it.
I'm not a producer on the film.
I just directed it.
So I don't really know why.
I don't know what's happening with it, and I don't know when it's going to come out.
I think distributors are scared.
And they're scared because abortion is a hot topic.
And I have a new theory that's controversial.
What about this?
One of the reasons abortion is such a hot topic is a lot of these women who have a voice, who are pundits, who are writing about it and who are voting, had an abortion, and they are just racked with guilt.
So they want to make it seem okay so the nightmares will stop.
Yeah, you know, that could be.
I'm not sure.
I'm not comfortable sort of trying to determine their psyche like that.
But I think that my theory about it has always been it's a God thing.
You know, if you really don't believe in a higher power, then pretty much anything goes.
I mean, you can do anything you want.
Why not murder everybody that disagrees with you politically if there's no higher power?
If there's no hell, there's no heaven.
Yeah, and I've actually heard a lot of these atheists, I'm sure they're atheists, but these British academics and even American academics take that same logic and say a baby that's 11 months old is no different from a chimp.
In fact, any factor you could come up with to make it human, a chimp could do.
So you could technically kind of murder the baby or let's say have an abortion up until, say, 11 months after the baby's born.
Yeah, well, I've always advocated up until age 18.
You know, because they can really be a big problem.
I've raised a bunch of them.
Well, that's the problem with their heartless logic, though, is they drive themselves into these weird alleyways of justification.
And the next thing you know, they're talking about murdering tons of babies.
And then, you know, they can murder some Nazis and murder some revolutionaries, anyone they don't like.
They can burn some books.
It's all the same.
Yeah, the whole question of when life begins is, you know, it's unanswerable, really.
Except, I mean, if you try to pick a point and say, oh, it begins when they're 11 months old, you know, none of it makes any sense after that.
Yeah.
Have you, you've seen Gosnell?
You've seen it edited?
You've watched it?
Yeah.
I've seen it edited, yeah.
It wasn't my edit, but you know, I've seen the final version.
And are you happy with it?
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it.
Of course, you know, there's always the limitations of budget and time, and you go, wow, I wish I could have gotten this shot or I wish I could have gotten that.
But, you know, I'm the only one who sees that.
The people watching the movie don't know what I didn't get.
So, you know, what we got in the film is a really compelling movie that tells the story in a fast-paced and entertaining way.
And it's also a film that, you know, it's not so grotesque that you can't sit through it.
I mean, that was important to me.
You know, I didn't want to make a film that nobody under the age of 18 could see.
You know, I wanted to make a film that, you know, told a very grim story, but didn't shock you with the blood.
Yeah, well, that's the challenge when you're talking about third trimester abortions.
Yeah.
Well, Nick, I hope you.
It's very disturbing.
Don't get me wrong, but it's just not gory.
Right.
It's a disturbing subject.
Well, keep us posted on it, Nick, and secretly send me the Vimeo link with the password so I can watch it and tell other people what it's like.
When the producers give me one, I'll send it to you.
Beautiful.
Thanks for coming to the show, Nick.
Best of luck with everything you're doing.
Good to talk to you again.
Secure until we break your foot.
Where the two of you cut it out?
Today I'm going to be asking people to define two words for me, fascism and communism.
Fascism, I think, is like ignorant racism towards another people for whatever political reason and or monetary reason.
Trump.
Okay.
Hitler.
Extreme right-wing style of politics where people are dictated to by the government.
I haven't really heard that word before.
It is a limiting of freedom of thought, a limiting of autonomy, whether it be logistical, political, or even emotional.
Fascism is a system of government that kind of oppresses people and they don't have the freedom to express themselves.
Fascism seems to relate to a type of government of the people under which it's an interesting word.
My brain is on other things.
What do you think of when you hear the word fascist?
image.
That's a brilliant...
One has a sense of fascism when you think of Hitler and Mussolini.
Essentially, anyone who wants to impose their viewpoint upon the whole and are saying don't do anything else.
That's a pretty easy way of talking about it.
That's fascism.
Communism is a little bit more complicated and complex.
Well, that's a tricky thing to define.
Well, I've heard it something like has to do with politics, maybe?
Communism, I think, is a parallel to socialism.
I think they're both the same thing, and it's a farce.
I don't even think, I don't want to go there, but I don't even think democracy exists anymore.
I think this is a communist country.
It was an attempt to give people the ability to work together, to build together, but it too became a dictatorship, unfortunately.
It often has to do with the people in power.
It's human beings.
It's not the system that gets corrupt.
Marx was talking about a utopian society that we could reach very quickly where we all share in the ownership of the goods and services.
I think communism is supposed to mean to spread all the wealth to everybody equally for the common good.
It's a type of government that wants to have everybody have everything that everyone else has.
Communism is what you learn in kindergarten.
You know, pretty much how to share.
People would have more say in things that's going on around them.
Essentially, everyone is equal.
Everyone is equal except for the leader of the pack.
That's what I can remember.
Yeah, I don't want to get politically incorrect, man.
There's many terms here, I mean, there's many, you know, uh...
It seems people either don't really know what fascism is or they have a very negative view of it, which is understandable.
The interesting thing is when it comes to communism, people tend to think it's kind of a cool thing.
We're just sharing, it's just equality.
What's wrong with that?
You don't want to share and be equal?
What are you, a monster?
What are you, a fascist?
A form of socialism where there's a small group of people that are managing things and will be forceful in forcing rules.
Could you please define communism for you?
That's complicated.
Depending on how you define it and the nuance that you draw between socialism and communism, I mean, we could spend hours talking about it.
But communism, in general, I associate it with trying to maintain equality both as far as economics, but as far as quality of life goes among the general population.
So if I am fortunate in my luck and you are not, then I will give up some of the expert that I have in order to help you.
Back to you, Gavin.
Music.
I've been a loyal Trumper for a year now.
I haven't criticized him at all, but I'm done.
I'm not done with Trump, but I'm done with not criticizing him because of this woman, Ivanka Trump, his daughter.
His daughter is listed as an advisor to the president.
That embarrasses me.
I'm embarrassed that she's going around the world.
Some guy's daughter?
What is this?
A monarchy?
Is this Princess Ivanka?
No.
And if she said sane things, if she said reasonable things, it would be a lot less embarrassing.
It would still be embarrassing because we didn't vote for you.
But she's not.
She's saying the same old DNC talking points about women in the workforce.
Check her out on Tucker last night.
You were speaking to the Japanese about the need for further workforce participation for women, and that's consistent with the theme that you've been.
This is a thing Ivanka was pushing.
She considered following Daddy to Japan so she could tell more women that they need to be in the workforce.
Because even though Japan has a pretty much zero birth rate these days, it's not reproducing.
Women are spinsters over there.
They're not getting married.
They're not caring about relationship or communities or families or anything.
No, what's important is we get them on the factory floors.
We get them in tech.
We get them working more.
That's what's important in Japan and in the world.
Thanks, Ivanka.
And on top of, since the beginning of the administration, I've got three daughters and a son, so I'm paying attention to the numbers on this.
And it seems like in this country anyway, the crisis is among boys.
Correct.
Girls graduate from college in much higher numbers.
They die from drug ODs at much lower rates.
Same with suicide.
I said this on Fox once.
By every measurable metric, women are doing better.
But they keep ignoring these facts or twisting them.
I remember reading once, I think it was Hillary Clinton that said this, that war is harder on women because they lose their sons and their husbands and then they're stranded out there.
Sorry, having your head blown off is worse than having hunger pains.
The majority of managers are women.
it really seems like the problem is not women in the united states and i wonder if you think that's a wrong analysis or I do.
Certainly the problems you noted are broader than economic problems.
So those may be individual to boys.
But while women comprise 47% of the workforce, we are very underrepresented in fields that will be critically important when you think about the jobs of the future.
Yeah, that's BS.
When feminists say that, and feminists say that a lot, what they mean is fun jobs.
We hear that women need to be directors more.
Women need to be in action movies more.
We don't hear about sanitation more or unfun jobs.
Actually, here in New York, the person who runs sanitation here is a woman.
It's affirmative action higher.
So they are penetrating sanitation, but no one says this about the NBA.
No one says we need more George Costanza-looking dudes shooting hoops.
It's inconceivable to her that men might be better at tech.
So she has to go in and meddle to all the fun jobs or the jobs that she deems important or crucial, as she put it, and make sure those are 50-50.
Everything fun or crucial has to be 50-50.
You look at the technology industry, we represent 21% of people in tech.
So?
Why is that a problem?
Why do all these women have to be working?
This is a rich chick, a rich chick with round-the-clock nannies and giant mansions telling all these women they need to be in the workforce to generate more money.
Ever heard of a family lady?
We're 13% of engineers, so we have to change that.
And I think that our tax plan takes a big step in terms of helping the American family with the high cost of raising children.
You just said the opposite.
The average American family spends almost 30% of pre-tax income on the cost of child care.
So the I'm just going to stop it right there.
This is the same old feminist claptrap you get from the DNC.
And I think the impetus is these globalists, these big corporations that want more people in the workforce because they want to generate more income.
She talks about how the tax plan is good for the family, but her ideology sounds pretty bad for the family.
It sounds pretty good for single moms.
It sounds like a pretty good incentive to fracture a family, but it's not pro-family.
I gotta get out of this TV.
Music.
That's it, folks.
No more talk about this guy.
And I was really impressed by Crowder's interview with this Guy, the hero who chased him down, shot at him, the Texas massacre hero Stephen Williford.
And it reminded me that in the media here, our obligation is to focus on the victims of these shootings, to focus on the heroes who did it, and to play down as much as possible these human garbage vermin who commit these acts.
Because I'm sick of the way we all glorify them by constantly talking about them all the time.
Let's talk about Americans.
Let's talk about what really matters.
Let's talk about family, and let's talk about anyone who opposes those getting off my lawn.
Well, Holly, I love you too.
