Ocasio-Cortez Likens Ben Shapiro Debate Offer to Harassment Aug 10, 2018

Show notes

Ben Shapiro's offer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was rebuffed with a comment likening it to catcalling. This caused an eruption in the hellscape that is twitter with people on both sides hooting and hawing. The left said it was a sign of male entitlement, the right said it was obvious fear of losing a debate. To me it says that the left is fractured in more ways than one. There needs to be more liberals willing to engage conservatives. UPDATE: After filming this video Ben responded to my questions "did he reach out to Cortez through traditional channels before making the appeal" by saying "No, we didn't. It was a rather spur-of-the-moment thing."

Berkeley Bike Lock Antifa, Eric Clanton, Gets No Jail Time Aug 09, 2018

Show notes

Eric Clanton, aka the Bike Lock Basher, received no jail time. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge and will face 3 years of probation for his alleged attacks on several individuals with a bike lock. We need to look at how the media is framing the narrative, that its always violent right wingers. In reality the right rarely protests and it is the far left that engages in the bulk of political street conflict

CNN Credits Media For The Banning of Alex Jones / Infowars Aug 07, 2018

Show notes

CNN Reporter Oliver Darcy said that it was not the social media companies that got Alex Jones and Infowars banned but weeks of pressure from the media. Darcy was one of the loudest voices critical of these platforms for supporting Infowars.But these companies are claiming Jones violating community standards, so which is it? Did the media pressure companies to ban fake news or did Jones violate community guidelines?

Show notes

Alex jones / infowars has been banned across the board. I think its wrong.I do not like jones work, I do not think Infowars is a good source of information, but Jones has a right to speak and right to platform.They say he tried to circumvent a livestreaming ban by promoting a second channel.

The New York Times Hired A Racist Troll And Defended Her Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

The New York Times is under fire after announcing the hiring of Sarah Jeong. Over two years Jeong made a serious of racist statements, in one instance calling white people "groveling goblins" among other offensive terms.The New York Times says this was just trolling and that she won't do this again, but they also mention that they knew she had made the posts. This is in stark contrast to the firing of Quinn Norton who did not make direct racist statements like Jeong yet was fired following a controversy over her use of certain words.So is this NYT being hypocrites or have outrage mob tactics stopped working?

Russian Meddling IS NOT An Attempt to Help Donald Trump Aug 01, 2018

Show notes

Facebook has recently taken down 32 accounts that they believe were fake and pushing propaganda designed to target the left AND the right. The goal seems to be to get everyone to fight each other. When the media frames it only as Donald Trump and Putin colluding then people on the right assume its more trump derangement syndrome and don't take it seriously. When we hear about Russian trolls meddling too many people only hear about it targeting the right. But they want us fighting, they want the left and right at each others throats. And its working... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouo8GrUNg0Y&list=PLxQaod7tWvYL-svWumeiRiecB2yrXODIR&index=2&t=0s

Conservatives Have Won A Major Battle in The Culture War Jul 31, 2018

Show notes

Comedians are refusing to apologize for extremely offensive jokes and in some instances companies are backing them up. The cast of Guardians of the Galaxy have even come to the defense of James Gunn asking for people to stop weaponizing moral outrage.It would seem that regardless of whether the right acted in bad faith they have neutralized the left's moral outrage tactic and now high profile individuals like Trevor Noah are even pushing back on left wing activists.Political correctness and social justice outrage can only go so far if celebrities have to defend against the same tactics from conservatives and liberals.

Police Exonerated by Body Camera, Family Still Want Charges Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

Minneapolis Police have released body camera footage exonerating police of claims that they had shot an unarmed man. The footage shows the man was armed and fled from the police. it contradicts witness testimony and family testimony. But even with the footage the family is still calling for the officers to be prosecuted and fired. What causes people to believe these narratives and why don't outlets report on the conclusions and proof about what really happened?

There are many factors playing in Donald Trump's favor right now.
