The Democrats' problem is that they view coalition building as heresy.
When a party loses independence, swing voters, and the working class, their instinct should be to try to win back those voters, not to purge the moderates from the primaries, as David Hogg recommends, not to burn the middle to save the far left flank, and not to pitch revolutionary socialism as AOC and Bernie Sanders fly around the country on private jets,
crying oligarchy while they themselves become parodies of their own populism. And instead of taking pitchforks to the old guard of the Democratic Party, these people should really have a reality check. Are Eat the Rich and men and women's sports on the social issue side, are those hills that they really want to die on? Do they think they have national appeal? Spoiler alert, they do not.
I'm so happy to be here. Thank you so much for having me.
Well, Link, Democrats, including Democratic women like Hillary Clinton, never seem to learn that disparaging and lecturing voters is not a good strategy. It's not going to work. It didn't work on the campaign trail this time around with Tim Walz pandering to young men with silly stereotypes. It didn't work with The View reprimanding Republican women for being betrayers of their sex.
Isn't this, Link, the pot calling the kettle black? Because if Hillary Clinton is going to stand there and say, y'all are handmaidens to the patriarchy, isn't she their ringleader? She has remained married, let's be real, to a man who was a serial adulterer because she likes the proximity to power. She also...
covered for the fact that her husband was a major associate of serial sexual predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, the reports are that Bill Clinton traveled at least a dozen times on the Lolita Express, where we know Epstein courted and abused young girls. And Hillary Clinton never made a peep about that. So the hypocrisy is truly dripping, and there's more where that came from.
According to some reports, Victor Davis Hanson wrote about this at National Review in 2015. While she was a senator, Hillary Clinton apparently paid her female staffers less than her male staffers for the exact same job. I mean, come on. Enough with this fake feminism. Ma'am, you don't honor any of it.
And again, Link, this comment from Hillary Clinton ignores the fact that she covered for Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were women. And I mean, that's, again, glaring hypocrisy. So she can't pretend to care for the welfare of women more broadly, given that, which what happened back then.
And it was almost as though the message to those future women and future generations that, look, you know, we'll take a couple for the team so long as we can advance abortion rights.
You know, as long as these Democrats say the right things and they promote the right progressive policies, it's okay that behind the scenes, they're all deeply corrupt and actually are engaging in abusive women themselves. And with regards to the Elon Musk strategy of repopulating the earth, obviously it's different than what we've heard before in terms of rhetoric.
But the fact remains, you know, we are well below the replacement rate as a nation. It is absolutely something to consider that we should be trying to encourage family formation in this country, not baby making, which is what she tries to reduce Republicans to, but family formation.
Family formation meaning that you have a unit that sticks together, that's the anchor of civil society, that is the foundation of Western civilization. You need that to continue the survival of your species. This is very basic stuff, not complicated at all. And she's trying to make us out to be, once again, the Handmaid's Tale for saying that this is a prerequisite to humanity continuing. Right.
Young men are very optimistic about the future, Link. And I think it's pretty self-evident that it's because partially of the rollback of DEI and gender ideology, which are institutional barriers to their success. That's a fact, right? If you have gender quotas, that means that some very competent white cis males might be overlooked for a job that they're qualified for.
And I speak of this as a triplet with two brothers who who are my age, so Gen Z guys that are in the workforce right now. And I've noticed their attitude over the last four years of Biden's shift to serious pessimism about their prospects in America. Economic mobility, dating relations, it's all been degraded severely because of the left.
And their reaction to that, I think they wanted to give the Democrats a chance to persuade them, but the demonization made it impossible. And so the right is the only one welcoming them with open arms and telling them, by the way, your fears and your concerns are valid. And we are going to legitimize your manhood, which is not toxic, by the way. It's actually not. It's it's a blessing.
It's the cornerstone of a functioning society, your masculinity. And I think that's what we're seeing in the polling is that young men are shifting right dramatically. And Democrats continue to push them further and further away.
Well, and don't forget, Link, that under the Obama administration, there were those Title IX witch hunts on college campuses that effectively killed due process for young men who were accused of sexual assault. So they were assumed to be guilty from the get-go without there actually being a process of justice to determine whether they had actually committed what was alleged.
So that generated, I think, quite a lot of resentment in young men. And to your point about Me Too, that has translated in the dating world to... Skepticism from both sexes towards each other and men being afraid to be chivalrous because it might be misconstrued the wrong way. This is the legacy of leftism. It's literally tearing down gender dynamics in real time in college campuses.
And you and I are both Gen Z, Link. You know that authenticity is our currency. We want relatability more than anything. So when I think back to how Tim Walz, again, just... pandered to young men with these belittling archetypes. It's him in camo gear, haphazardly loading a hunting rifle while he's LARPing as Larry the Cable Guy.
