10:30 am
hello and welcome to cross talk for all things are considered i'm peter all of l. descending into tribalism and cultural trench warfare the highly contentious brett kavanaugh supreme court nomination process has ignited passions and anger on both sides of the aisle interestingly and ironically the point where there is wide agreement is the recognition the status quo is deeply flawed and sadly with no way out. cross talking america's chaotic politics i'm joined by my guest daniel is our in new york he's an author and a freelance journalist who writes frequently about the middle east eastern europe and the us constitution in philadelphia we have kathleen arnett she is
10:31 am
a veteran and political commentator and in los angeles we have ron look own he is a comedian frequent guest on the jimmy door show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on with ron all right crosstalk rules in effect that means he can jump in anytime he wants and i always appreciate it well ron you know i'm going to go to you first because i always go to the person that got up early as for this program out in los angeles and you look great i think you got a lot of coffee and you i came out and came across an article here white women come and get your people they will defend their privilege to the death it was about by a woman named alexis. and she writes white women benefit from patriarchy by trading in their whiteness to monopolize resources for mutual gain white women are expected to support the patriarchy by marrying within their racial group i could go on and on this is gobbledygook but it's in the new york times this sounds like progressive racism or progressive tribalism take your pick what do you think ron.
10:32 am
well i'm not familiar with that article i've never read that article so i can't really speak much to an article i haven't read a sense of it i gave you a sense of it sure yeah i mean i don't yeah i don't really know what that is supposed to get at that oh you have to benefit from the patriarchy or this or that or you have to. yeah i mean i again i'd have to read the full article to have a way to speak on it but. but yeah i mean as far as tribalism goes i mean i do think we're in an age of alter tribalism on all sides of the aisle on the establishment side and then over on the right as well and then and then some on the left to sell and as a result it seems like we're kind of in a we're kind of stuck in neutral as a country ok kathy i don't think so i don't think the word neutral his approval i
10:33 am
think it's deadlock and it's getting worse and worse kathy you want to jump in there as the whole point of the program go ahead. i did because i'm being read the bad article yesterday in every single since it was inflammatory and racist i talk about it intolerant of the tolerant quote unquote left but you know if i recall correctly he even went on to baghdad. that is trying to equate i'm am was awfully accused of rape is not a quibble and a woman who has actually been raped or wanting to live that alleging that she's been raped well kind of you know darcy's that was. taken that is not being falsely accused being sometimes not of as someone who has been raped or someone who is alleged to have been raped now it is just it detrimental to the young man are
10:34 am
being a huge he accused of rape. as it would be but oh yeah and let this liberal progressive sloppy thinking i know science friday well they tried the same didn't they live in your you know it's ok to be bosnian q. because we're making up. women who have. had congress. and culture and mass and that's the crazy ness of the rat ok ok well cathy you brought up the word craziness here let me go to daniel here i mean you've written about this here i mean what accounts for you know. after the process after the nomination process was complete then we started a completely different asymmetrical process that is not founded in law and not even in common sense but this simply rage this is what we're seeing is rage and it's not it's mindless rage i would say go ahead daniel. well first of all i agree with
10:35 am
kathy except for one point what she's describing is really is truly crazy but it's not left wing craziness is an example of how the democrats and liberals and feminists are rushing to the right there a gauge and i headlong race of the republicans to see who can get to the right fastest real leftists believe and uphold very strongly with the principles of due process and the assumption of innocence and i agree totally that a false accusation is very bad and the whether involves rape or or anything else doesn't matter at all that's very important to to withhold judgment on all the facts are in so that nobody is falsely accused now what we're seeing in america we're seeing an epic breakdown in politics america has a very old system of government is actually the oldest nation on the face of the earth its government dates back to seven hundred eighty seven one catherine the great was still alive for example there was still
10:36 am
a holy roman empire there was still a papal state in italy and there was still a monarchy in france that form of government is with us still today largely to a great degree unchanged and it is in an epic breakdown and that's a breaks down the country is going mad and all kinds of crazy currents are being unleashed and that includes this kind of weird strange tribalism and bizarre logic which says a false accusation is ok if it involves rape it's just completely bonkers but that's where american politics are heading ok randy cathy real quick you want to jump in there go ahead i just want to hear you. and i think we really have to get our minds around the democratic party line it. is not. whether someone if they are trying to make us back to the days of harvey is
10:37 am
somewhere a whisper out of it literally destroying your own life or are some if they try to take us back to the dark days of the jim crow laws i grew up in a very big south and i remember this story for example in a young black boy who was brutally beaten drug and dragged behind. because a white woman made a last allegation he was trying to talk to her or in alabama did not. always blabber weighs eighty twenty five of them will receive a death sentence because two white women last week accused her raping them and this is and this is where the democratic party the radical democratic party the rag or lap trying to take us back to is way our value with the presumption of innocence no my life could be utterly ok let me let me and let me go to los angeles ron how do
10:38 am
you know you want to die the democratic party but peter ok daniel real quick a little bit around here democratic party is not a radical left party sorry well that's really the point ron you know i don't let me go to ron ragout up really early for this fear of ron a lot has been said go ahead in the aggregate. oh yeah i kind of go yeah the democratic party is not a radical left party they're not even a left party in my opinion i would describe them as a center right party. and i think that's kind of the when i say we're in neutral you know the best kind of what i'm referring to you know going forward when we're looking towards the midterms. you know people are saying there's going to be some blue wave i do think that trump fatigue is going to be enough to pick up a little on the democratic side but as far as framing a messy. jen framing policy positions and framing in actual
10:39 am
opposition the democratic establishment has not done that they largely have not done that. so when you don't really have a real opposition in our politics which i would say at the establishment level we really don't have. you know you just kind of have. the nonstop echoes fear of the media that we have yeah daniel daniel is absolutely right and ron and cathy here i mean the democratic party isn't a radical party but it is embracing these radicals their tactics and their rhetoric ok because i think they're afraid of it as well ok i think cathy brought up mccarthyism i mean this is what's going on there's very few people willing to stand up to what is really mob politics by fringe groups ok go in there you'll be going to danielle i'm going to daniel curse go ahead yes it's go ahead yes i mean but
10:40 am
it's that's not what he said it's radical it's important to emphasize it's radical in the sense of the radical right the democrats are essentially adopting right wing neo mccarthy i policy yes and which they are tossing out the presumption of. innocence overboard this is very dangerous they are a center right party which is moving further to the right so we have two right wing parties and the country welcome to the right the same way brazil is ok and so this is this is completely outrageous to try to level with us ok hang on cathy hang on the skype there is a little dodgy there but kathy i think what daniel is saying is that both parties are adopting the same kind of tactics i think that is very very true ok i'm not and i think oh oh absolutely absolutely i mean right the. democrats are absent and bill is simply trying to do you miss it. and i am very you know the
10:41 am
democrats are always meaning is resist. now we have humanity are like you mean like and they fast track fifteen of his judges so they could go on vacation soon or that's the type of resistance you're referring to but what about i was about what what about when they get on your. ass for that's nothing to do with the presidency back to the job or contract you know rather not how lately you said i don't. know i don't hang on guys don't talk over each other ron you get the last twenty seconds before the break go. oh yeah i did about the democratic you have to really we're mad at the idea that the democrats are really resisting trump i think is nothing short of absolutely comical they're assisting and so many ways where you are move in and out rates that are. ok that's not going to come to the hard cases and to this day honestly i think
10:42 am
politics i want to jump in here after a short break we'll continue our discussion on chaotic politics today with our to. you know world of big part of the movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's a target for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
10:43 am
when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be no in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying is just no really hasn't been that we want even many of the those families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite what we've been through this this isn't the way. to. settle there are some diamonds in the rough there are some people that are you
10:44 am
know proposing some great ideas but those people are in the minority in the party and they're always expected to bend the knee to the establishment instead of the establishment coming to them and saying hey how can we keep our jobs because people aren't happy with us what can we do to keep our jobs it's not working that way it's working the other way around it's hey you have. good progressive ideas we don't want to do that and then they need us or you're out of here it's completely backwards nancy pelosi not too long ago said if you know if the democrats get a lot of power in the midterms they wouldn't still pay go meaning that every time you wanted to do a policy you would have to pay for it with some other cut that basically kneecaps the idea of any progressive policies like single payer health care you know like a jobs program living wages anything like that it kind of neat caps that entire idea and that's what ninety two percent of the base wants you know kathy
10:45 am
one of the things that's so disturbing here is that we see the democrats and men and mothers on the left that essentially play are playing the race card and the sex card. and anyone that disagrees with them can because it is ron points out there not to many people are talking about policy if you disagree you are racist here is enough open your a sexist that is not dialogue that is not a way to to come to terms with the with the chaos that's all around us why do you think the democrats continue to play that card card yeah i'm going to say i'll let you mention them brought. army i mean let me also sound listening to daniel. willis now and bill is not. who he started talking about in. the constitution let me be clear that america does not exist.
10:46 am
even our founder john adams that the constitution is made for our religious and moral people in the wholly inadequate for any other kind of evil people understand the difference between right and wrong and most of the things that we see that transpire in our country today where we're not talking about policies. we're not talking about the well i'm sorry dogs run and many and that republican party are talking about policy talk about with china and the rest of the world when we talk about that now that i'm doing now that policy when we talk about howard will have to interact with iran when other just like north korea. so i'm going to talk about securing our border. so that the right and represented by the president is talking about how all the time but then we have you may not want to
10:47 am
call it radical but there is a significant radical alabama we have in our home around our. ally. that it's ok to get up in the face is that you are in let's get a feel for basically anyone who doesn't agree with you and you resist that as. a race back now that radical and that is what it will go away i don't i don't know if it's radical but i'm so i just i'm so i'm certain that it's not productive daniel at all here where what's really quite fascinating to me as the midterms approach is that it seems to me the democrats are doing almost everything in their power to try to push people away from it because there is this perception that the party is radical or won't stand up to radicals i mean all you have to do is watch the the airwaves i mean you could watch c.n.n. and most of b.c. and fox news see the same pictures and people are going to come to very different conclusions that's one of the interesting thing times that we live in here you
10:48 am
could see the same things and draw a radically different conclusions go ahead daniel. and i love to bash the democrats as much as anybody i just hate the democrats i loathe and despise them but. we can't let the republicans are scot free the republicans are a minority party that have used their constitutional advantages to grab control of all the major institutions in washington. and now the supreme court they are using racial politics racial politics to solidify their power. trump was elected by a minority of the people he still grab power of via the. electoral college the senate as i said fifty four percent of the of the country lives in ten states which are overwhelmingly democratic but there are outvoted four to one by the easy percent that lives in the other forty states thanks to the peculiar senate constant
10:49 am
yearning to breathe free but this pre modern constitution won't allow that this isn't saying ok when i say change the law legally and democratically and no revolution no revolution that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests in new york philadelphia and in los angeles and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t.c. a next time and remember. when else seems wrong. but i. just don't. get to see. this day. and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we just of the common ground.
10:50 am
you know. this is crude oil peter. so they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground you would have well well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make one hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there is an issue. here in india. they were told sixty dollars a day is hard work for the workers not used to work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these men move back out like his
10:51 am
men believe that comfort these men need sex. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go on to be pros this is what the full story of the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the. first city hall. and i will do you know don't pal not come up out of a long type of time coldplay enough. to know.
10:52 am
why no one can. in film plan there is a trade in young girls sold into an underground sex in the street sometimes but the people they trust the most. it. was not cool. you know the only. thing you will see. you soon.
