The New York Times has decided that they are going to hire a woman whom Sarah Jong to join.

Their editorial bore. No, why is this relevant to your life? The reason this is relevant to your life is because John These wrote for publication called the verge and authored the internet. Garbage, which is a book about online harassment and free speech, the prom, one for us, our genes, that people actually went through her old tweets in some of the things that you as we did in the past are not particularly great she's tweeted things like this quote: dumb ass effing white people. Marking up the internet, what their opinions like dogs, pissing on fire hydrants is back in two thousand fourteen, so not soup. Really long ago, but a few years ago are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus, logically being only fit to live underground My grovelling, goblins hashtag, cancel white people. Oh man, it's kind of sick how much joy get out of being cool old white men. I dare you get on Wikipedia and play things why people can definitely take credit for its really hard the search on the New York Times Editorial Board, author white men are bs. No one cares about women. You can threaten anyone on the internet except cops I just

realize you're old, tweets of hers and she was hired, I'm sure the narrow times if they, if they didn't, do a background check on the person they hired over the New York Times I, then they were entirely or message that I just realized. Why can't stand watching breaking down our battle? Star Galactica, the premise of both is just white people being miserable, and she also treated white people have stopped. Breeding you'll, all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along, so choose seems, like a real delight, this series, young person, I have been told that she is basically what more brilliant people out there, and these tweets are not indicative of her prior work, which I'm willing to hear, but by the rules of the If this person should now be excised from polite society, because that's how the rules work on the left right, the way that this works is that, if they, on earth in old tweeted somebody unoriginal tweet that nobody likes. Then we finish your career, we yellow you and me scream at you until you stop being able to write for a major publication like the New York Times now. Should she apologize for those sweets? I think probably that is Meriden. Is it indicative of the mentality of the New York Times? They think it is appropriate to hire somebody like this. It is indicative of that man.

Because the fact is that if anybody who was white wrote this about anybody of any other race surgeons asian, if somebody who's White wrote this about a black person or or hispanic sword. What's he knows or Asians run buddy, then that person would be out of a job forthwith. In fact, if you're Kevin Williamson and all you did was make a joke one time about hanging women for abortions, then we kick you off. The staff of bee lanting. If you're me- and I say that I dont like rap- then I'm a racist and Marty Place Ass to direct a process has to delete. It tweet saying that I'm a nice guy- and you might want to follow me on Twitter. But the way this works on Twitter is that if we find some then we don't like about you and your past than we absolutely destroy your career again. It is indicative of the New York Times his belief system that they're pretty much fine with going after with with their columnist, saying stuff like this Because again, if this were anybody on the other side of the ILO, you can bet money that it would not it was easy on on that person. Now. Will the New York Times back there,

and fire this lady. I doubt it. I think your terms are probably maintain. I hope in your terms, does maintain. I think it is good to have a plethora of voices. I prefer a more speech rather than less speech. I think also your decision, whether you wish to see rob to a newspaper like the New York Times. I do not, you probably don't either, but if you do wish to subscribe, then maybe you want to give that a second thought. That is your prerogative as well, but it is again telling that the same folks on the left, you suggest that you are out of the realm of polite discourse so long as they deem it so are present. Willing to welcome into the realm of light discourse. People like surgeon, who I assume, is not even remotely as bad as people like AL sharpen, who has been legitimately erase baiting piece of human debris for decades now so again, this is pretty telling about exactly how the left operates when it comes to the present the opinions they they seek to protect as talking with them a friend of mine. Earlier

today, who happens to be on the left issues? A liberal and she also happens to be lack and also happens to be lesbians, checks off one of the intersection of boxes that a lot of folks on the left really seem to Caroline. But we are talking about international politics and she was contending that America is basically run on international politics, that identity, politics, politics or we care about your race, your sex, you're, ethnicity, or we are orientation that these politics have always driven the United States, and what I was arguing is one of the problems that were seen right now. Is that if you look at the history of the United States in terms of how intersection politics has worked race, politics, identity, politics? It is fair to say that racial and identity politics have declined markedly since, for example, the nineteen sixties. But if you were to create a scale of one to one hundred of identity politics, what you would probably say is that, at the very beginning of the republic identity, politics, what was little one hundred, because there were actually black.

Slaves and people arguing the black people ought to be flattered about as racist as it could possibly be. Then, after the civil war it drops. You got a seventy on the scale of one hundred, because black people are no longer slaves, but we are going to suggest are inferior if you're, the dominant american society, when you're going to excess nations in excise Latinos, all the rest of it and then over the course of the next hundred years. It drops to perhaps sixty all the way up to the end of Jim Crow and then a plummets precipitously to the point that when I was growing up, I'm thirty four years old, when I was going up the worse thing, you could call somebody in America was not a racial slower. It was a racist if you destroy somebody's life, it's gonna make them feel awful. You call them racist. Racist became the slurred issuer because but understood that racism was a bad idea of talking to people

my age and saying to them that certain people are genetically inferior because of the color of their skin. It doesn't even compute. It doesn't make any sense to people who are below the age of forty in the United States, because we have grown up in the post, Jim Crow era, and we find all that stuff, abhorrent, so intersection. Reality took a nosedive, but now intersection. Reality is recovering, because the argument the left is made is that America's wood was historically based on the notion of white supremacy is historically based on racism from white people and now Inter sectional groups must have their revenge. Now we have to have a reverse identity: politics, where, whatever you say about white people is totally ok. We never had our chance in the sun rays some can only come from Dominic groups. It can't come from put upon minority groups is in arguments made by lot of folks on left a really serious argument may buy a lot of votes on the left that if you see Sir John, an asian saying racist things about why people it's not actually racist, because the regime is in aid. In an Asians have historically been put upon in the United States, even though asian households have the highest household earning capacity of any households in the United States

Wait. Americans, for example, in seventy six cents on every dollar that Asians earned in the United States, has just average salaries, but the interest actual idea. Goes it if your Asian, your member of minority group. Therefore, if you are racist, forty white person, it's not actual racism. Then why people say wait. A second racism is racism knows, and I understand that virtually all politics is reactionary I understand that we all react to one another and that there is a desire for turn about as fair play. But if you want to get to a society that actually mean something than we all ought to be stout stumping against this sort of bigotry, no matter the source. The problem is folk. Some left have decided That white bigotry is bad, which is true, but they have decided that non white bigotry is totally ok because it is non white. Bigotry therefore does not bigotry, because non white people cannot be bigots. That's a very bad thing: it is contributing to a sense of destruction in America's politics in a pretty significant way. They re an intersection politics that have dominated

our proceedings of the over. The last few years are really quite discussing now, speaking of discussing how to talk about a peace over at the UK. Daily mail because I think it is again indicative of a man in reality. Unless I wanted to talk about a couple of ideas today about where the left is going so left is moving in a couple of different directions. So, direction. Number one less is moving is in the center section. Direction were race matters more than anything else, and certain is our more valuable than other races and we can determine whether your opinion is good or decent or people are worth listening to, based on the color of your skin or the formation of your bone structure, where we can tell all of that. Just by looking at you whether we ought to give you a listen or not? That's point number one in the left's new agenda. Point number two: unless new agenda is that all moral standards are subservient to your suffering that we ought to give you leeway because you ve had a hard life. It has been part of leftist trope since

forever basically mean it. Even if you go back and you listen to West I'd story, the Song G officer crop is based on mocking Miss troop that people hoard Utile delinquents are only juvenile delinquents because they ve been put upon. In reality, people are juvenile delinquency very often because they make a choice. That is a really bad choice and decide to be bad people, while the left has decided there going to double down on the idea that you're allowed to do bad things so long as this bad things make. You feel good that This article is in the Uk Daily mail. It's an article by one in Julian Ralph? Should sixty nine year old Mother forty seven year old Son, his name is Stephen. There's only one problem: Stephen has down syndrome it means the Julian wishes that she had killed him before he was born. I'm not joking and actual, like eight page. Article in the Uk Daily Mail, the peace is basically this heartbreaking, extraordinarily lengthy description of how high is to deal with down syndrome. Child Julian's, her for her son is obviously Parag. This Julian Ralph person rage is taking care of her son who

severely down's syndrome and- and you can't take care of himself- can't wipe themselves now, forty seven years old and all the rest. But here is what real sanctions so difficult has it been, but I honestly can say I wish he hadn't been born. I knows, will shock many. This is my son, whom I have loved, nurtured and defended for nearly half a century, but if I could go back in time abort him in an instant. I must sixty nine and Roy seventy rise, her husband and will celebrate golden wedding anniversary next month. Perhaps you old speck me to say that over time, I grew to accept my son's disability they now looking back on that day, Forty, seven years later, none of us could have agent life about him and then I'm grateful. I was never given the option to abort, however you'd be wrong because well I do of my son and am fiercely protect above him. I know our lives would have been happier and finally complicated if he had never been born. I do wish I hadn't abortion. I wish it every day if you and born that probably have gone on to have another baby, would have had normal family life and Andrew would have had the comfort rather than the responses. Quality of a sibling after we're gone instead, Stephen, who struggles to speak Function in the modern world has brought a great deal of stress and heartache into our lives, and this is why

speak in support of the ninety. Two percent of women, which used to abort their babies after discovering they have down syndrome is the second point in the democratic platform. First point is intersection. Reality second point because I didn't subjective pain, allows you to perform objectively sinful activities and talk about that in just a second first, but something your impending doom you're gonna die someday. It may not be that far away, and I know I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna hinted. I'm not gonna hit that. I know the precise day upon which will plots I may or may not I know that, but when you do plots, but one thing, we wish you had done is get life insurance and that's why you shouldn't wasting your time. She's gone over to policy genius right now. Besides, life insurance rates and lowest, they ve I've been in twenty years the best time to buy his now and best placed to buy life insurance policy. Genius. Dotcom policy genius is the easy way to compare.

Concerns on line in just five minutes. You can compare quotes from the top ensures to find the best policy for you and when you compare quote you save money. It is indeed that simple policy geniuses help. There were four million people shop for insurance. They place over twenty billion dollars in coverage and they don't just make life insurance. Easy now compare disability insurance and renters insurance and health insurance. If you care about then cover it, for you have been putting off getting life insurance. There's no reason to do it anymore, but a policy genius dotcom get quotes why, in minutes it is that easy you can do right now. And you should, because again the rates are at their lowest in twenty years policy genius, dot com- it is the easy way to compare and by life insurance, go check it out right now, policy genius dot

Don't leave your family without any cash? You plots policy genius, dotcom, go check it out. Ok, so point one of the democratic platform intersection. Eighty point to subjective opinions, objective, feeling, trumps, objective moral standard. So if you're somebody who's had to suffer with having to deal with down syndrome child you should go out. Thirty should talk openly about the fact you wish you'd kill that person before birth now never mind that simply immoral, never mind it. Having children is is always a sacrifice. In my case, it's also a joy because I think I'd have to healthy children, even though you know there are hard times, including knows how to have open heart surgery and our daughter that doesn't mean that pain is a good excuse for four obliterating another human life. How many p warp. Sixty years old have an eighty year old parents who is suffering in the throes of dementia. Does that mean that its moral to stick it Stick a pin in their arms like needle in their arm to put him down like a dog. Is it just? It doesn't mean that it's okay,

when somebody is causing you insane amount of pain. Is it okay to go murder them when that person is causing you grief and pain and difficulty? Is it okay for you to actually go and kill that person? Of course the answer is no, but in the democratic agenda it really is that our love of sympathy is supposed to trump objective, morality and the value of human life. So that's prong number, two. In the democratic platform. All this is peculiarly self centered. Then, if you weren't particular race, you get to be his for one about another race so long as are not white, and that if you are suffering from anything in your life, you to obliterate that thing so long as democratic say it's ok for you to obliterate that thing, and that brings us to the third prong of the democratic platform, and that is the economic plan. The economic plan, of course, is democratic socialism. Let's talk about democratic socialism. Obviously this is right. Inside the Democratic Party, there is great battle going on right now inside the democratic ready for the future of that party? Theirs the graduates. And then there are the extremists gradualist. Our people, like Barack Obama, believe you're, not an Hillary Clinton. People believed the Henkle full scale socially

without alienating the american people and disrupting the system we have to take one step at a time, will move toward more and more social. More and more Reese Tribunal is and in short order, and then there are the people like Alexandria, Abkhazia, Cortez, I'm getting named item container right now, I'll, send your cousin Cortez you. So let's go full scale. Socialism right now is the Bernie Sanders plant must go full scale, social, right now. A Barack Obama is now sounding off on the twenty eighteen elections in a really interesting way. So here is what the present the former president has to say. He announced on Wednesday the first wave of democratic candidates that he is endorsing four November in a series of tweets. You listed candidates in more than a dozen states cities backing in twenty eighteen. He wrote today, I'm proud to endorse such wide, an impressive, a right of democratic amulet leaders as to burst like Robin and regarded as the Americans. They are running to represent

I am confident that together, we will strengthen the country. We love by restoring opportunity, repairing our alliances and standing in the world and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility and the rule of law, but first they need our vote to who exactly We endorse well indoors, governess him in California, who is to put a kindly ape tornado Joe palace in Colorado, Stacy Abrams in Georgia, Jamie Pritzker in Illinois and Richard Corbett in Ohio high up a bunch of people in the house, but he didn't indoors better or work in Texas, for example. He also did not endorse Alexandria Causa Cortez. Now the reason that he didn't indoor sounds Andrew Cause, your Cortez is because he doesn't want to endorse the most radical candidates you can find. He doesn't want to give that side of the party impetus running up to the twenty twenty election Obama'S- smart enough politician to know that if democrats want to win in twenty twenty, they have to present a candidate who is not seen as to extreme

by the american people. The democratic party, however, is running full scale. War embrace of democratic socialism, so obviously they decided to make their face is Alexandria. Abkhazia, Cortez, who, by the way it is We bizarre that she is being treated as this rise star in the Democratic party. She asked a joke rally whose Democrat in her district her was this This sort of well known ten term Democrat in New York, the district is fifty percent latina are fifty percent hispanic. She is also hispanic. Joe Crowley is not hispanic She one with a grand sum total of seventeen thousand votes in this primary tissue and seventeen thousand votes, and primarily as many votes, I get to see, packs rob whole issue, one that you want seventeen thousand votes in this primary, and this makes for the new phase of the devil, but a party, the fishes twenty nine years old and because you can a pretty and because she she has a certain level of charisma and enthusiasm. You know she's, not the hell she's talking about, but the problem is that the democratic platform of democratic socialism is

extreme for the american people as well. It should be, but now it's being treated, is mainstreaming. There's a bevy of articles over the past several weeks about democratic socialism, its rise, why this is the future of the Democratic Party and there's a lot of talk in twenty sixteen about how Trump ISM was taking over the republican Party. There are a lot of attempts to say what Trump ISM was was. Trumps is from him about protection of trade was Trump ISM about subsidies to blue collar white areas was Trump ISM about protectionism and enclosing the border. It turns out the trumpet and was basically just about tromp right from his most about people liked. The president Trump is a puncture. People like the President Trump is aggressive, there's a wide variety of perspectives about his policies, but there's not a lot of variety about people in their public and party liking from personally, which is Why he has such a die hard loyalty among his base. But for the Democrats there really is an ideological takeover of this party that has happened since two thousand and ten. The republican Party has not moved in audiology since two thousand and ten, which is why Trump is now implementing policies.

They'll be exactly the same in a Rubio administration or accrues administrations, or even the Bush administration, except for maybe on immigration. But when it comes to the Democratic Party, their actual policies have moved hardcore left. This is what Obama is recognising is that the Democratic Party has moved left again. There are new three pounds, our intersection reality completes objective as and when it comes to personal activity. Even an activity that affect others and finally most importantly in embrace of democratic socialism, and this embraces democratic socialism is the one that's going to absolutely destroy them. Intersection reality alienates the middle of the country's alienates white voters. The the subjectivity alienates religious voters. And democratic socialism, alienates anyone with half a brain because democratic. So It wasn't does not in fact work not a second and go through some of the myths that surround democratic socialism, because there is this, this new kind of narrative, its being put out by a bunch of both on the on the left. The democratic socialism is different than socialism that we ought to take it very seriously that if you look at the United

it's. What really is missing is the sense of redistribution is justice, this social justice, that we need to bring about the need to rectify income inequality by moving towards more equitably distributed resource base. That's what we really need but that's not really. What democratic socialism is about? What democratic socialism is about as complete take over of the economy? So, let's jump into seven minutes. Ok, there are seven may about democratic socialism that are provided by these advocates of the New Democratic Party platform unity, the o Cassio Court has is, and the Bernie Sanders so first they claim that democratic socialism is not the same as socialism. That is not accurate to them, Craddock socialism is the idea that it's gonna be socialism, but we're in a vote for it and therefore is not really socialism. Well, that's not what socialism mean. Socialism is just about the idea from each according to his ability to it according to his need. As in sure by nationalization centralisation of government resources,

and a nationalization of industry, socialist programmes redistribute socialist economy, is abolished private property nationalize industry. In order to redistribute it's important to differentiate differentiate, these two things self, for example, if you have a socialist welfare policy that takes me from someone gives to others. That is a socialist welfare policy. It does not mean you live in a socialist country. The United States is a capitalist country with socialist programmes. Rachel Medicare is a socialist programme of redistribution. Social security is a socialist programme of redistribution, we live out and we say that it's you putting the money and in getting it back out, but it's actually socialist redistribution programme socialist distribution programmes are socialist. It doesn't make the entire country a socialist country. It makes it a capitalist country with a solid welfare, phase, which is still not ideal, but we have to be clear about what we are talking about. My national, health. Care is socialized medicine, but Canada is not a socialist country. Canada is, in fact, a capitalist country with socialized medicine.

Is an important distinction. We need to be clear about that and when democratic socialist say that democratic socialism is different from socialism, not really not, really, they need to be clear about what they're saying myth number two is it democratic socialism is not in fact use of force for democratic socialist claim there and for overthrowing democracy and what industry justly run by the people, so factories should be run by the workers and industries should be run by the employees, how we gonna do that, though, Well, I guess you can go out and get a boat for the government to take over those industries and basically regulate them in the dust. Okay, that is, in fact, you said for us just because you voted for the use of force doesn't mean that the use of force is not being a If continent, I decide that we want to rob somebody else in this room until we vote on it, then yeah, you if we decide that we're going to that we're going to rob this young lady right here, then that's so fast right, even if we vote on it and for the use of force- and that's that is simply not gonna, willingly give me her wallet and she shouldn't, because it's my money, ok, so I did a democratic socialism is not force is, of course, very soon is very silly.

And socialism always tends to degrade into force. Because what happens? If the people don't want social is what happens if the people vote against democratic socialism? What happens vote against industrial as nationalism of industry and cortical democratization of industry. What what? If they vote against that stuff? Well, if they vote against that stuff, then it must be because they are emissaries of evil capitalist system, the bread them, and so we must do all that we must send out for re education to the gulags or must liquidate the dissenters. Third, myth that is pervade by these. These pushers democratic socialism is it. Socialism is fairer, Are they say? Socialism is more fair damage to talk about that in just a second first, let's talk about you? You tell the reality is that you don't priority twice a day and you don't spend the requisite mounted time energy and the you go in your dentist asked you about all the stuff anyway, your dentist, because everybody wise to their dentist, but there is no real. In freedom light. Your dentist instead just go. Get the quip Electra Toothbrush Quip is the new electric tooth brush the pact's just the right amount.

Vibration into a slimmer design and a fraction of the cost of bulkier traditional electric brushes and guiding pulses alert. You want to switch sides making brushing the right amount of effort was quick.

Quip, get quipped outcome, Slash Shapiro for that special discount. India! Ok! So The the third claim that is made by advocates of democratic socialism is that socialism is fairer, social, It is not fair, it is deeply unfair. Fairness rests on the basic idea that you get what you deserve. This is why it's really fastening their obvious social science studies that demonstrate that people will go out of their way. They harm themselves in order to punish people, they feel are cheating. So if you play they they're all these really interesting studies where the

put a group of people in the room and you have a choice as to whether you want to sacrifice some of your own money to punish somebody else in the room or whether you are keep your own money or whether you want grab somebody else's money and people who grab other people's money are immediately hit with people who will spend their own money nor to punish those people human being have an innate sense that it is wrong to take other people's money without proper justification and without any right to that money. Socialism seeks to destroy consequences for actions. Charity is based on the idea that we ought to help. People in need. Socialism is based on the principle that need creates. Additional rights is a very, very different thing Charity is about my capacity to give and by my obligation again. Socialism is about the idea that, if I am poor, I now have additional rights that I did not have. What I was up were simply by virtue, becoming poor. I now have the ability to steal your wallet so when I wasn't right if I saw your wallet you'd have said there was a criminal, but now that I am- and I julia your wallet well, that's just socialism! That's deeply deeply immoral stuff. A fourth claim, a democratic socialist make it so

It was, and was not present in the USSR, or Venezuela or Cuba. This is We call them. No true scotsmen fallacy write anything that has been Add isn't something that you did any any communist country The ends in murderous tyranny isn't actually communism. Marxism area. That, though, that those are just miss applications of the rule. We ve actually tried real marxism if we tried real Marxism, you actually probably like it, and this is an argument, the losers make with regard to dating a girls. I don't want to date you because I've seen Highgate other people, you like right, but you haven't tried it. Yet. If you tried it, then it would just be. It would be completely different. Your life would be some. Better, if you dated me, even though you saw how, like I used to days to dine in Asia Diamond Ditch on my prior girlfriend, that wasn't that wasn't the real me. What do you do, The real me you understand that I pay for the best interests in town. If you, leave that guy you're an idiot and if you believe social when you say that USSR Venezuelan Cuba, not socialist, you are also similarly in idiot. The fact is that all of these countries are stated marxist country,

They all ended the same way because when you take social into its ultimate extreme, which is nationalization about industry and shutdowns of private industry through use of government force, you end up in a pretty awful place pretty quickly, which brings us to the fifth claim that democratic socialist make and this the claim that they are using most often right now, that is the claim that socialism is what makes nordic countries awesome, so they will say you'll hear Ochres Yokota. Bernie Sanders and was with warn all say that when they see socialism, what they really mean is Norway now mean, but as we know them in Norway that I'm in Cuba them in Denmark, there are few problems with this aid. The big problem is that again, there are conflicting socialist redistribution programmes with socialist economies. Denmark has socialist register, these programmes we have to assess whether those are successful on their own merits. Denmark,

it's not a socialist economy: Denmark's a freer economy than the United States as higher tax rates. That's the redistribution is part, but in terms of business regulation in terms of capacity to attract foreign investment with free markets. Denmark is significantly more free than the United States. In fact into One thousand and fifteen Denmark, Prime Minister, explain, quotes. I know that some people in the? U dot S, associate the nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear: Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy. Exactly right, Heritage Foundation, they rightwing source. This is their ranking of economic freedom. Switzerland right ranks. Fourth, Denmark, twelve wouldn't fifteenth, the Netherlands, seventeenth, United States, the evil, rapacious capitalist United States ranks eighteenth and economic freedom. Accordingly, heritage donation, Norway, that socialist hotbed ranks twenty third

What made all of these countries wealthy by the way is the fact that they are capitalist and that they were more capitalist in the past capitalism makes countries wealthy. Socialism simply takes all that wealth in redistributed, shutting down industry in the process, and here is the proof that all these countries we're doing well long before they had socialism. The proof is that by statistics, this is the case in number, one by statistics. The case number two. If you take all these people from Denmark from Norway from Sweden, and here she transplant them to the United States, have higher incomes in the United States. They do in all these other place, it s, you earn more and they do better economically. So the idea that socialism is what creates awesomeness in these cultures is not right. Hey culture created awesomeness in these cultures. Socialism was a follow on that has actually tempt down there. To me in these various countries, when you take that cultural transplant it to a free country like the United States or tax rates, are lower than all these cultures thrive in the United States. As well. Now, nordic countries to have high levels of social services because they charge exorbitant taxes. Denmark has a sixty point. Three percent tax

rate, plus a twenty five percent national sales tax, which is why everything costs an arm and a leg in Denmark between two thousand seven in two thousand fifteen. Not surprisingly, Denmark experienced a five point: five percent decline in real GDP, which is comparable to the decline in in growth in Spain, which essentially went bankrupt during the same here natural result was the election of centre Right coalition in Denmark, Sweden and other supposed socialist paradise grew because of cap Wasn't, according to an economic scallon, enigmas uninjured Angie, who is from Norway between eighteen, seventy One thousand nine hundred and thirty six wheatland drive the highest growth rate in the industrialized world, between one thousand nine hundred and thirty, six and two thousand and eight the growth rate dropped to thirteen out of twenty eight industrialized nation between one thousand nine hundred and seventy five and the mid 1990s? We can drop from being the fourth richest nation in the world to the 13th richest nation in the world. That is a direct result. Restrictions on the economy and redistribution is programmes, Norway, which is left favour country these days, they they moved on from Denmark and Sweden because both of those places have elected right wing governments. Now Norway

are now used to prop up their social over programmes. Those companies run along private lines and that the government base nationalized oil companies, which are now used to prop up their social lover programmes. Those companies run along private lines and that the government basically is a major stockholder in these companies, but it's not just government in point is run the company's its people who are supposed to run these long profit lines. The government is not actually allowed to intervene in policy. In in serious ways in the norwegian oil industry is also worth noting that Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, the top per cent of wealth owners hold between top ten percent of wealth. Honourable between sixty five and sixty nine percent of all wealth in those countries. That's actually not that much lower than in the United States. All of these countries were were significantly more robust economically before they started with their socialist nonsense in the idea that high life expectancy in Scandinavia is in our growth and socialism is not true.

One thousand nine hundred and sixty Norway have the highest life expectancy in the in the OECD, followed by Sweden, Iceland and Denmark by two thousand and five the gap between scandinavian country? and the UK and the U S and actually shrunk considerably. That's after the implementation of socialism in a lot of these countries, also worth noting you can just take the Socialists programmes of Norway, which may work for a country if five point three million people and apply them to the United States, where there is not the same level of cultural cohesion, cultural homogeneity and history of of exactly what sort of cohesion and homogenous to the population of L, a county alone is double the population of Norway. You can't just take a program that works for five people and applied to five million and expected to work exactly the same way in just a second I'm gonna get to the last couple of myths about,

Gaston the it vital to myths about democratic socialism. Shop we Also hearing the democratic socialism is thus solution. When it comes to the medical industry, will we really needed

analyze our health care system. Now, let's be clear, there are lots of different government schemes with regard to medicine. America scheme does kind of shock, ok, because it is not a free market system. The great lie about America's medical system is that it is free market. It is not. It is most heavily right. Related area of american life, the profit margins for insurance companies in the health insurance industry like two percent there, not that high and one of the reasons that the health insurance system sucks in the United States is because employer based insurance programmes, which are crammed down by the government in the nineteen fifty is basically the nineteen fifty is. We had wage controls and in order to edge around this, which controls people raises company started paying for their employees, health insurance, but there's no reason that you're health insurance should be tied your job really, you should just be paying through health insurance yourself. That's what happens in Switzerland, which is probably the world's most successful healthcare system, The way that Switzerland works is that you are mandated just like Obamacare, your man hit on the individual that was by your health insurance, but there's no employer based insurance in Switzerland plus they penalize you pretty heavily. If you don't buy health insurance, if you don't buy health insurance

you get sick and then you go in for care. Then they will fall. Are you not only to pay a surcharge of like fifty percent on your health insurance bill? They will also back charge you for all the health insurance should have been paying for last several years, Switzerland has a very, very robust programme in force to force people to buy their own health insurance and virtue. It is also worth noting that all of these other countries that supposedly have wonderful healthcare systems have their drawbacks as well. Cannot, of course, has very long wait lines. The same thing is true in the UK in Australia. A large percentage of the poppy play some by supplemental health insurance on the private market. So it's not just a matter of a of a universal health care system in Australia and they're facing some significant financial issues because of the aging of the population. When people talk socialized medicine as the be all end all are also forgetting that. Truly all medical advances in the industrialized world, are coming out of the United States. The US is responsible for forty four percent all new molecular entities which would be the drugs that you actually take and that those numbers be a lot higher, if not for government regulation from the FDA. We also

DR medical innovation, other countries. The truth is that the american healthcare market, where people are able to charge what these drugs are worth, actually subsidizes the rest of the world. So when Canada collectively bargains with drug company to provide them a certain number of drugs, they are able to do that because the United States is paying a higher price because we are paying a high price in the private market for all of that, so there waiting or else drug companies are basically exploiting the private market and then making deals on the back end with all these socialize medicine systems. If the United States, when socialized medicine, the prices would skyrocket for everyone on drugs because nobody would be subsidizing the stuff anymore also, it is still true. If you ve got money. America is the best place to be for medicine. If you got the cash in America still the best place to be even more like that, if we deregulate the system. Ok final lie. Final lie: the Democratic Socialist tell it capitalist this giant failure. This is the dumbest argument of all. Capitalism is most romantic success in the history of the world, people living

on a dollar a day or or less that fell from about twenty seven percent of the global population in nineteen. Seventy all the way down to five point: four percent in two thousand sex: it's an eighty percent decline poverty worldwide, including ninety four percent of the world's population. In eighteen, twenty in two thousand eleven, this don't you said, fifteen percent mortality rate for kids under the age of five declined by nearly half between one. Ninety and two thousand thirteen virtually american lives in go in poverty by global standards. So the third plank of the democratic platform, which is this economic, democratic socialism, it's a giant, fail giant, fell on every score and the fact that, as you mean considered by the Democrats, demonstrates how far left

They have moved right now now in just a second, I want to talk about the latest with regard to President Trump and which HUN Sen Pollyanna Fort and and all the rest. There there's there's a lot to talk about their, but final note when it comes to the Democrats can of Social was platform. Here. Final note is that the only thing that will well Americans to vote for a platform, this radical, an intersection reality based subjective morality, based democratic socialism base platform is if the Republican Party just sucks it things. Really. We have such a great story to tell conservatism. Has a great story: tell a story about individual human freedom, about individual rights, inalienable rights about the the right to life, about the value of life, about the value of serious morality that has consequences for your daily life about the idea of hard work in achieving a meritocracy if we blow that opportunity and handed over to these idiots, if we blow that opportunity and handed over to this radical programme, that's a referendum

on our inability to sell the greatest, still honestly, the greatest system that has ever been devised by God or man minutes it's. It's really an impressive failure on the part of conservatives if they can't solve this stuff, ok speaking of which the President of the United States is once again going after just sessions. So on Wednesday he called on attorney general just sessions to end the special council incomes. In Russia's interference in the twenty sixteen election, you shouldn't unemployed U S directive on Twitter to shut down an investigation that even now scrutinising his sweet for evidence of obstructions and left immediately. His jumped to this means that Trump is actually obstruction. This is clearly obstruction. Well, it's actually not clearly obstruction. The reason I can say is not clearly obstruction is because, in fact he didn't fire robber Mahler. He has

power, defy rubber Miller. Here's the power you more importantly, as the power to fire sessions, the power, the power to fire, Rosen Stain Higgins. What everyone sees the head of the executive branch didn't fire, and so this is indeed from mouthing off with that said, is it smart for trumped mouth off on this sort of stuff? No, its, not politically smart of the president to to mouth off on this kind of like, for example, the president didn't dingy mouth off about the mother investigation, he also male Duff but the manifold trial is upon. Man afforded his former campaign manager ran the campaign for something I for months. I actually believe the Trump didn't really know who he was. Because he was sort of an hour and see insider who is appointed by the hour and see to help from brought his campaign, and then he was out as soon as bad story started to break about homeland for a man.

What is now on trial for fraud and from tweeted out that even L funds Capone was not treated with the sort of disdain with which they are treating parliamentary fort. Why is the president defending Pollyanna, for the manufacturer has nothing to do with russian collusion? The manifold trial has nothing to do with the twenty six in election. All of the charges being brought against Pomona for Pre exist the election cycle of twenty sixteen and why the press it wants to jump in here with both feet is absolutely beyond me. It doesn't make any sense, except that and you just so angry and Malo right now that he's willing to to basically rip on anything t. Mahler does which isn't a particularly good luck. I also think and Pollyanna forts defence. The prosecution has focused apparently an awful lot on the clothing that he bought with alleged russian money. So I mean here here is what the price the prosecution has presented, evidence that Poor man afford spent fifteen thousand dollars on a jacket made of ostrich. I'm not kidding he's like MR burns from the Simpsons he's. Gotta messed he's gonna vest made of real guerrilla chest.

Ten thousand dollar ostrich jacket uses and ninety five one hundred dollars ostrich vest and I think, most importantly, he has an eighteen thousand five hundred dollars Python jacket. I think that I think that there is a Sally case. We made that we should generate him based on his wardrobe choices, being made it you can't use russian money to buy a nineteen thousand Python jacket. Business longer America, you there's not a threat, but was in America this America can miracle get by nineteen thousand dollar python jacket. If you want to buy a nineteen thousand dollar python jacket. Actually this is kind of funny so aid, the judge in the manner for trial, actually scolded lawyers for bring all the stuff up, Judge Alice, he said the government doesn't want to prosecute someone because they were nice clothes. Do they. Let's move on. That's enough, so kind of appreciate the judge. We're doing all that I agree again. If I decide to go my God has had to make a jacket out of gopher heads. That is my prerogative and for cost me. Ten thousand dollars in Putin's money. That's my prerogative to man come on,

still America, they here's the problem with all this. Obviously for president from them our president from focuses on the mother investigation, the less we are talking about all of the great messages that conservatism has to provide the less. We are talking about the failures of the Democratic programme: less we are talking about socialism, verse cap wasn't what we're talking about inalienable rights forces govern Interventionism, if you're not talking about those things then? You are failing to paint the left for what they are if you're talking instead about Robber Mahler is the worst in Pollyanna for genocidal innocent. It's it's just a distraction from the programme publicans can sell right now, a great economy based on increase in capitalist principles, reduction of regulation in tax cuts. It's a pretty good sales pitch by the Republican. Start making it right now at all, and that is- and that is deeply problematic in a number of ways. If president from wants to have Republican Congress even cares about that, then it is incumbent done him to start talking about the issues that matter in a way that actually gets people jazzed up for the election. Innocent, just self serving narcissism, navel, gazing,

Ok, so lets you a couple of things I like and then we'll do. A couple of things that I hate so while I was on the plane, I finally watched the movie Steve Jobs Danube oil was the director and I would say this is a thing I'm Warm on I wouldn't say this is a thing that I, like, I will say. Michael fast, Bender is probably my favorite actor working today, or at least one of the top three. It's like christian bail, Daniel, Louis Michael fast better, I think, maybe for me, not necessarily in that order, probably day Louis bail, women, aspen or in any case Michael fast, benders stars, asleep, job doesn't look anything like Steve Jobs, but he's a great actors who is able to pull it off? What that? That's? What I like about developments it fast vendors performance is really terrific. The things I don't like about the film or that the score is agreed Firstly, the in the score is just hysterical and overwrought in every conceivable way, and the script is written by air and sword which means that every character is IRAN's organs when Kate Winslet is acting in this film, its Erin Sorkin with a wig is one of the plant with with endorphins writing generally, is that there is no characterisation whatsoever. Everything is about the fast patterns like serve. What

in upscale, Gilmore, girls, upscale up a sort of agreement. Frozen! Ok, here's a lowering of the premium for Steve Jobs, which is it working Yes, it's a great will. We know is it you know, mildly and caning into burning yeah? I think. So, what do you do? you're not an engineer, you're, not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board. The graphical interface was stolen. So how come you ten times a day? I receive jobs is a genius. What do you do? Musicians play their instruments. I play the orchestra you see how this reminds me of a friendly face to the entire world is built basically around three set pieces: wherefore

spender. It plays jobs. It serve, though the launch of the original map, which is a failure, and then the launch of next, which is also a failure, and then the launch of the of the eye back, which which was a success and aids inebriate I so it's it's kind of interesting worth. Checking out soda, go check it out right now. Ok, now it's! Let's do a few things that hey, let's do it. Ok, so box dot com has an article today about you survey, which has found that American say they pray more than any other wealthy nation. Fifty five percent of Americans report, they pray least once daily six percentage points higher than the international average While that may not seem like a big gap on its own, America is an extreme statistical outlier when it comes to countries with at least a thirty thousand dollar per person GDP. So in this category the global average hovers around forty percent. So in Canada, for example, only twenty five percent people pray daily. Their number has twenty two percent in Europe.

Eighteen percent in Australia and six percent in great Britain, in other words, with great wealth, comes less religiosity in the United States, are still relatively religious country, and fifty five percent of Americans report praying at least once daily. Boxed outcome of course thinks. This is because we are stupid and backwards and we're bunch of better cleaners who claimed to our gardener guns. I think there's because America is freaking. Amazing, because it really is one of the things You learn when you, when you study the Bible, is that people don't stop worshipping God when bad things happen in this one of the great lies baby. Isn't that the reason people fall away from God is bad stuff happens to them. They look around the universe and they say why would a child suffer? There must be? No God, that's not the real reason, really why people stop being religious and worshipping God and praying the real reason. People stop worshipping and praying is because they look around things are pretty good. What, when you God for they, people get fat and happy, and they think that they did it themselves and then they feel like gotta superfluous. Why do I need to thank God for anything, what my praying for everyone he's pretty great and was created by a bunch of scientists who don't believe in God. So what the hell do? I need this this whole God thing for

The reason that religiosity is important, particularly in industrialized civilised society is because that is what ties us. Two basic fundamental principles and those basic fundamental principles are in fact be the lines of thought that under guard westerns, was you would not have that Iphone? In your hand, were not for the Bible you wouldn't. Have that Iphone, in your hand, were not for greek reason. Combined with a biblical sense of morality, because capitalism is based on certain principles. Those principles Klute inalienable rights in you, you have a name Annabelle value. You are worth something your labour is worth something you as an individual. Our made in image, and you are more important than any collective that is put together nor to crush a writer on behalf of some sort of communal priority, all of that is rooted. Certain fundamental biblical morality that is based again on most important sentence. I think in human history. The most important sentence in human history is not, in my opinion, treaty neighbours thyself above their neighbors thyself. It is not do not until there is what you would have not not having to endure.

The most important sends in human history is that man was made in God's image that is the most in in May male and female. He created them at that image from Genesis is the most important verse in the history of humanity, and it is the beginning of all wisdom and the beginning of all human rights, so I am deeply for that, America is still the most religious countries. The reason why we are the world leader, everybody else- can basically climb on our backs. Because the reality is that this country, with our backwardness and our religion and our church going. Driving global economy for NEO fervour well over a century for well over a century. Ok, other things that I hate today, so the media are still in full scale, weeping mode for themselves Jimmy Costa is still going on national tv whining about the fact that he went to a Trump rallying people Ya'Ll datum. Is it good the people yelled adamant in front brayley? No, it's not. I said yesterday, I think it's more like a sporting event to people than it really is like I wish I d, I would I hate him accosted the way you can tell us when the cameras go off, they immediately govern them wanting picture with Jimmy Costa, where they treated

because TAT is, though, he's the rival sports star on on another came. So these they sort of trade like Lamar, James, a Laker now Celtic stands treat Lebron James. The way that trump fans tree basically that little probably comes the Boston gardener whenever they call it now and the end he lay in every booze him. They say that he's a trader and these cerebral and then after the game, they are clamouring for not a graph. If you go to Trump rallies, that's actually the way that it causes or afraid people yell at him. They scream at him, it's fun and its funds. David CNN, sucks, Cacena does in many cases suck and then Jimmy cost I M in, and then they got me take pictures of the Costa. While Acosta is still complaining about this subject: thing that we're not in America anymore. By the way he came out this morning, an attack, Sean Hannity and said the John Henry is a terrible human cells. Ok to attack other members. The media is just not ok for anybody vacuum. Acosta here is ears, Jamaica they're talking about his poor of is horrifying experiences. It just a mean brutal

brutal terrible. This isn't America anymore, it's just like back in the Soviet Union, where they stack you up at the bottom of the of the KGB building where the floors were slanted to catch all the blood than they shoot. You it's exactly like gap except the gym accosted got his hair messed up a little bit, not by and by throwing Ahab Adam, but just because you so frustrated. So here's your bokassa honestly. It felt like worn in America anymore. I don't know how to put any more plainly than that American should not be treating their fellow Americans in this way. I agree talk to Maxie Martyrs, Tatu, Tatu members anti via taught you all of these other felt on the left, who have been willing to do this for a very long time, but apparently you are special Jimmy Costa, and so you don't. It didn't happen until it happened to you right until What happened to you is no big deal. It's just like it's amazing. The media only discovered that the all right we're a bunch of Jack asses when the all right start attacking people on the left. Right, though, the already started: tacking, Julia Jaffe, for example, and suddenly the all

It was a thing I didn't months of all right abuse, but I was totally ok because I was on the right, obviously The media's selective coverages is one of the reasons why people don't trust the media at all. You see the same thing from ABC Sunny Hostile, whose over on the view she says that president trumps attacks on the press are like the act of a dictator, jobs to report the facts, and I think that's one of the reasons why this president has started this war against the media because he doesn't like that. The truth is being reported, and I think that means that there is general is you have to continue to do so? These are the acts. In my opinion, of of a dictator dictators attack, the press routinely. Ok, yeah, it's just like a dictatorship that, when dictators attack the press, they then go and shoot members of the press when proportionality didn't go to tools. People say is just like that, except for here

a lot of them stuff on Twitter, so exactly the same, pretty much exactly them. Ok, we'll be back here tomorrow with the mailbox.
