Because i think we have that common ground. I think when you say to someone the past doesnt matter you know, it doesnt matter. Of course it does. In your case, it matters that your father went to a substandard school you know, and it matters that his father before him barely went to scho school. Whereas my father has a college education, my grandfather had an engineering degree. His father before him had an engineering degree. Where we are today has a lot to do with where we start. Host i agree. Guest and thats something that i think most white americans today are not willing to acknowledge. So that is one of the purposes of the book and thats the conversation i want us to have is look at the history, look at the sum total of experience. Before you start judging about what policy is good and what policy is bad, lets take a look at the totality of the run up to where we got to this point. Host so, are you hopeful about Race Relations . Guest i am, i am. In the epilogue of my book i talk about the neuroscience of racism, where it comes from. It comes from a very old women to love 11 of the least developed parts of the brain and its your fight or flight mechanism. In order to know who to fight or who to run away from that has to be taught. Thats not preprogrammed. So you have to be taught to see race as an issue. In ancient greece, black ethiopians were considered much more sophisticated and much more civilized than slobs who live in presentday russia. Why . Because it was a question of how did they dress, how did they speak . How sophisticated was their culture and how strong was their military . Did they Wear Clothing or did they wear skins . So yeah the word slave comes from slav because the first slaves were slavs grabbed by degrees. You get people to grow up and desegregated schools are integrated schools, testing shows us they are the least racist generation ever because they werent taught to think that way. I am going to be turning 50 soon, so im middleaged and i was one of the last generations to attend the segregated schools. I remember a time where there were whites only water fountai fountains. My memories of that era are very few and very distant but you know, im past midlife. So we have a way to go, a ways to go. I think there will always be these marginal groups who will choose to follow racist ideology just like we have people who choose to become neonazis. Thats its own kind of Mental Health question really or Behavioral Health question. I do believe that the days of children being brought up to believe that my racist superio superior my racist superior and the other races are inferior and therefore i should have economic and social control over other people just because of the color of their skin, thats an idea thats dying out. Maybe i wont see it but ill bet your daughters do. Host out that they do too. Ill bet they do too. Well chris i think that will do it for us, buddy. Appreciate it. Guest thank you lavar. Host no problem. Now on booktv Katie Pavlich argues while republicans are constantly blamed for waging a war and women the real war and women is being conducted by democrats. She says that liberal heroes like president clinton and president obama are some of the worst offenders. This is about 50 minutes. [applause] are right, good afternoon. Thank you to everyone for taking time out of your friday in the summertime to come and hang out with me. Thats that is something that i still cant get over. I cant believe its an overflow crowd. Students in the back, waving to you. I talked to this morning. Thank you everyone for being here and thank you to wendy macau for the roundtable. She is of course a longtime supporter of Young Americas Foundation and also i wanted to, mr. Rodriguez let you know that although a lot of people are wearing che guevara tshirts when i was in college my grandma sent me an antiche guevara tshirt that i proudly wore to my latin american studies course. [applause] you can imagine how well that went over. Specifically i were particularly when they would start on the same day. I knew that was in the lesson plan so it was great. I want to start off by thanking Americas Foundation for having me here today. When they say i was inspired to do what im doing what im doing now as a result of the conference in 2008 its absolutely true. Young Americas Foundation does change lives of students especially when they are constantly in a hostile environment on their College Campuses and what Young Americas Foundation foundation provides a source tools and mentorship is extremely important. I can tell you the work they do really has an impact. Living in washington d. C. Now and seeing all the graduates of Young Americas Foundations programs working and policy positions or media really making a difference really proves how important important are supporting us and how important his organization has been for years. But especially now in the modern age. Obviously im here today to talk about my latest book, assault and flattery and im going to start by addressing how utterly absurd it is that the left is portrayed as the champion of women. Every book comes from an idea or a moment. I have definitely had a few of those moments leading up to the writing of this book. The first came in february of 2012 when nancy pelosi invited 30yearold georgetown law student sandor flock to testify on capitol hill about why taxpayers should foot the bill for contraception. At the time difference and the media she was portrayed as a young woman in her early 20s. That was not true. She had been well into her adult years for a decade before making her statements on capitol hill. My office is in roslyn which is right across the river from Georgetown University where sandra went to law school. After listening to her testimony i looked across the river in disbelief and just thought you know how is it at my age which was 23 at the time of the testimony as a young professional working hard to pay my own bills this 30yearold woman wants me as a taxpayer to pay for anything other than my own medical bills and needs than anything else i should be having in my life. I was in disbelief. I couldnt believe why wasnt that 9 a month that big of a deal for a strong independent woman to come up with. You know the answer to this was that the left obviously likes to a poll people who simply pass responsibility for their actions onto others which aside why i wasnt surprised when sandro fluke was upheld as a hero and of course put out on the 2012 campaign trail. Another moment that led up to the writing of this book came when i was sitting at the 2012th Dnc Convention in charlotte north carolina. My job as a reporter and a journalist is to sit through lots of speeches. For hours and days ive been listening to speech after speech about mitt romneys war on women conservatives hate women. Not only did bill clinton speak on the same night that sandra fluke spoke with the dnc honored a man ann coulter described as having the only confirmed kill in the war on women. Pettitte v. Cameras didnt catch this because it was during a break but because i was there i did. In between speakers the dnc played a seven minute long glorious tribute video to none other than ted kennedy. A reminder they are complaining about the war on women. So as if that wasnt bad enough they plastered the words womens rights champion in all capital letters across the screen on the video that they were playing in this arena. It was Pretty Amazing actually. For some reason they skipped over one of the most important and iconic moments of his life, the time he drove drunk off a bridge wandered away and left a 28yearold Royal Campaign staffer who happen to be a woman to die in his car. No one dared to utter the words chappaquiddick that night. They werent going to talk about in the arena and they certainly werent going to talk about in the media but i sure had plans to talk about it later that night. [applause] luckily at this point. Morgan still had a show. I was booked on a Political Panel for piers morgan show that night and i was on with piers morgan obviously. My friend Richard Grenell who served as one of met romneys security advisers Hillary Rosen who is the woman who face in late famously said ankle romney ever worked a day in her life and dan jones was a selfappointed communist. Before sitting on said i was just hoping that piers morgan would bring up ted kennedy because it would be my moment and thankfully that moment came. In this video that they played back to the convention they showed that rummy debating ted kennedy when he was challenging and proceed in the 90s said in this debate featured in the video that he was prochoice. Obviously he has since changed his position. That didnt stop piers morgan from asking me, katie did it make you uncomfortable hearing that romney espousing the joys of being prochoice . I just responded and said you know, do you know what made me uncomfortable peers, that convention that claims to be fighting the war on women that they would play a link the seven minute video, a tribute to a man who left a woman to drown in his car. [applause] so after that the panel exploded. It was like we cant bring up chappaquiddick, no way. We can talk about how mitt romney bullied a kid when he was 13 but we cant talk about what happened with ted kennedy. So Hillary Rosen stanched defender immediately yelled. Smark and said my comment was below the belt. So im just like all right, whatever. So during the commercial break Hillary Rosen turned to me and said i think what you said was disgusting to which i responded i think what he did was disgusting. [applause] but on a serious note ted kennedy is portrayed as a perfect example of how the left is supposed to behave. He is really a false hero but he isnt the only false hero that the left has portrayed in the media as if there is a difference, portrayed for liberals to live up to. Hillary clinton is also one of those people. Most people dont know about Hillary Clintons real record because on College Campuses she is portrayed as the ultimate female figure who provides a growing example for women everywhere. The fact is she doesnt and are underreported legacy is rapists and sexual predators and im not just talking about her husband bill clinton. Are you okay . To give you a little bit of evidence of this last month the audio was published. To give you a little back story on this in 1975 during her time as an attorney Hillary Clinton took on the case of Thomas Telford taylor a man who brutally raped a 12yearold girl at the age of 41. Clinton said she thought taylor was guilty. The issue isnt her defense. After all this is america and the worst of the worst in our society yet they are entitled to an attorney. Instead the issue is clintons favor after getting taylor out of a lengthy sentence for his crime when she thought he was guilty. He served less than one year in prison. This is what they reported. Quote describing the offense almost a decade after they occurred clinton struck a casual and complacent attitude toward her client in a trial rate before a minor. I had them take a polygraph clinton said what he passed which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs and then she started laughing. You can hear her several points during this audio laughing and saying that the crime lab lost all of the evidence. The accidental destruction of the evidence is why taylor got off at the crime because he was no longer tied to the crime due to the lost evidence. Apparently the destruction of dna evidence wasnt enough for Hillary Clinton to go on. Instead she attacked the 12yearold victim girl as possibly emotionally unstable and someone hit me exaggerating or romanticizing a sexual experience. A 12yearold. Further clinton wrote in an affidavit at the time i have been informed that the complaint is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older man and to engage in fantasizing. So she went out of her way to attack the victim in the case who was a 12yearold child who just happen to be a young girl. The daily beast followed up with an interview of the victims a couple decades now and she heard this video of Hillary Clinton. She said Hillary Clinton took a case of mind at and 75 in light about me and realize the truth of what she did to me. She is supposed to be for when and . I hear you on that tape laughing. It seems pretty shocking, right . Is newly uncovered audio is one piece of Hillary Clintons long legacy career and life of defending sexual predators. Clintons history of brushing sexual assaults and abuse of young women under the rug for her own personal vertical gain just as the left has done to women in decades is nothing new and a persist today. Fastforward a few years after clinton relieved a child rapist is any justice and youll find for decades she willfully helped destroy the women who her husband former president bill clinton was accused of sexually assaulting her raping. Its funny how the left constantly screams out rape culture but yet they receive t to refuse to address the rate rate that was on elm party. Instead of holding her husband accountable she defamed his female is mentally unstable and looking for money. Her philandering husband could hold onto power which eventually led to her own position as a senator from new york a president ial candidate and president obama secretary of state. Speaking of the state department what exactly did she do that during her tenure there . The pattern of behavior continues. She nor to diluted rampant sexual abuse of minor girls by highranking state Department Employees and under her watch she was accused of routinely ditching his security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from prostitutes and minor children in a nearby park according to an internal memo written by an investigator. The state state Department Security officials stationed in beirut was accused of engaging in multiple sexual assaults. For their u. S. Official was booed for allegedly trading basis for sexual favors. If cbs news first reported last year at least seven of Hillary Clintons security agents routinely hired prostitutes on official trips overseas. This bad behavior was described as endemic. Although the agents were eventually reassigned they werent seriously punished and when investigations are launched into misconduct they were manually shut down by Hillary Clintons chief of staff. The female whistleblowers who brought this to their attention he spoke out against an expose what was going on inside the state department they were retaliated against for doing so. She was run out of Foreign Service and stripped out of her job employed for exposing donald moore when he allegedly engaged in sexual activities with lemon inside his Government Office and with call girls in naples. So this is just a snapshot of clintons legacy of defending sexual predators. She has done it for decades yet somehow is has been portrayed as a womens rights champion. Her record proves the opposite. Hillary clinton will go down in history as americas most famous enabler of abusive and powerful man. But debate about Hillary Clinton and other false heroes like ted kennedy and historical record that comes with ms office and on College Campuses and its my job and the job of the people in the overflow room for students in the job of Young Americas Foundation to break through that. I am often asked why young people in general but specifically why single women vote for the left or tend to lean to the left but you really cant blame them for doing something when they have never been told otherwise. The educational system is about indoctrination of the University System is no different. The only thing they are hearing on College Campuses is a great Hillary Clinton is and how left is the way that women should be leaning towards. You have to be able to go in and tell them that there is another side to the story. In addition in order to effectively fight on campus is very important to understand what exactly students are up against. The left is dependent on ignorance to come push their goals and to push their agenda. The left has been playing a longterm game with women since the 1960s and has been lying about female empowerment and equality ever since. So the question is how do we understand the last . You have to infiltrate the left and go to where they are, go to where the battle actually is. Last year i applied for press credentials to handle the National Organization for Women Conference in chicago. I figured you know now the Largest Organization of feminist activists in the United States with 5000 shooting members and 550 chapters in 50 states. According to the web site since its founding in 1966 nows goal is than to take action to bring about equality for all women, yes all women. You are familiar with the hashtag. Unless of course you are woman who happens to be a conservative or a capitalist. Prior to my applying for the convention i came across a now letter which claimed that the goal for the future of the organization was to expand and diversify membership and ongoing efforts to bring different perspectives to the organization. I was pretty sure i was going to get in and i was pretty sure i would be wel
