Pillow and welcome to crossfire things are considered im Peter Lavelle up until recently politics were about policy preferences and ways to implement them but is not the case today your political views are now what define you as a person and there is a moral dimension bias against those who are not politically correct is the last acceptable form of discrimination this is the end of politics. Crosslinking political intolerance im joined by my guest kevin chavez in washington hes managing part. Of the chavez group as well as former president of d. C. Young democrats also in washington we have crisper hes a political analyst and iraq war veteran also in raleigh we cross to ryan he is the national cochair and founder of students for trump card gentlemen crosslike rules in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate ok kevin im going to go to you 1st because youre on the odd man out i want to make that clear im going to make sure that you get equal time on this
Inauguration which i experience and trying can attest to this to so many young republicans in this country and hes done so much work mobilizing young republicans across the country on campuses in the College Environment look at whats happening in our campuses how vile and how hateful people are and a friend of mine who was punched in the face at berkeley and was assaulted for being a republican so you know i mean i think things have gotten a little bit a little bit out of control and i do think that not being able to hear that other side and have that sort of conceptual discussion which has got out of control is a problem you know im ryan and you have a lot of experience in this here i mean i guess i portray my age im the oldest one here but you know how being different points of view was good and people respected you didnt always like it but now youre demonized toward and youre considered evil and that comes mostly from one direction i would point out here that is a real problem with
When we call it discrimination i think that is probably not the right word because in what way is a stopping you from from living a certain quality of life its not like Racial Discrimination or gender based discrimination or Something Like that so i would use that term to describe the fact that people are so polarized that i have no question that dont you think kevins gotten worse how many liberals are work for it work for c. N. N. I mean thats the bias im talking about let me go to chris now in washington that is biased against people and that creates this polarization and to be fair on the other side there is a lot of conservatives that work for fox and lets be fair here go ahead chris. Thats thats true peter but i think fox has actually gotten a little more balanced with having liberal hosts and having a lot of liberals on the network with very strong different points of view but i think i mean i agree about the word were discrimination but lets not lose sight of the point how is it
A lot of liberals on the network with very strong different points of view but i think i mean i agree about the word were discriminated but lets not lose sight of the point how is it infringing on peoples life i mean kevin if youve been watching people blocking traffic getting crazy spitting on veterans outside of the inauguration which i experience and trying can attest to this to so many young republicans in this country and hes done so much work mobilizing young republicans across the country on campuses in the College Environment look at whats happening in our campuses how vile and how hateful people are and a friend of mine who was punched in the face at berkeley and was assaulted for being a republican so you know i mean i think things have gotten a little bit a little bit out of control and i do think that not being able to hear that other side and have that sort of conceptual discussion which has got out of control is a problem you know im ryan and you have a lot of experience
That clear im going to make sure that you get equal time on this program because i always welcome different opinions have any and in my introduction here i said that you know the last bias that is politically that is acceptable is this group me against people because of their political views i mean that is on steroids right now and i think that is very its terrible for our political discourse im sure i would disagree with you on many many points but im welcoming you on this program and im i actually im very interested in what you have to say because i dont see that in the National Media much anymore go ahead kevin why is the case well i think you know what youre referring to is is the fact that people who are so used to consuming the media that they want to Consumer Affairs sort of validates their personal beliefs that theyre not really open to hearing other sides but i think when we call it discrimination i think that is probably not the right word because in what way is a stopping yo
