Even peaceful going to. One of the. Dead is someone's. Ok well this is the bench of heroes for the lot coming up for you this hour a little bit later on in the hour we'll be talking about the Time magazine person of the year we'll also be talking about the i.g. Report so the inspector general of the d.o.j. Testified in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee today it did not go well for the f.b.i. So all of the media headlines about f.b.i. Exonerated Trump entirely wrong Yeah that's a bunch of crap and Michael Horowitz basically took that myth out to an Iowa corn fields slammed in the back about with a shovel and put in a hole so we'll talk about that but we begin this hour with You Tube promulgating new guidelines with regard to the kinds of videos they will tolerate Now I know that there are a lot of people who listen to the radio like what does it matter what You Tube allows Well the answer is that the left has created monopolies in a wide variety of areas of information dissemination Hollywood is entirely a left wing out what the media as we all know are virtually all left wing with the exceptions of the Wall Street Journal editorial page The New York Post perhaps. The fox news outlet on cable news and talk radio right as about it and on the Internet. On the internet conserves have had more success with letters trying to reestablish its dominance in the way they're doing this is by attempting to downgrade content they do not like what they do is they have these very big standards and then they say that you have violated the big standards Well You Tube is now doing this routine and they haven't actually implemented their standards yet so we don't know what the implementation looks like but they have set up a set of guidelines for what sort of content will be allowed to be promoted on You Tube And let's just say that I think great you know I have friends over at Prager University and they've had their content to monetize they've had some of their content taken down for simply stating factual things about the nature of reality. The difference is between men and women for example well now You Tube is basically openly saying that they are going to ban content that may be conservative so according to their official blog they say they have ongoing work to tackle hate whenever you see people say tackle hate you are so good how are you defining hate because according to the left everyone on the right is hateful everyone if you believe the Bible your hateful if you believe that men or women are different your hateful if you believe that not all disparity is due to discrimination your hateful So here is You Tube's take over the past few years we've been investing in the policies resources and products needed to live up to our responsibility and protect the huge community from harmful content this work is focused on 4 pillars removing a violent content raising up authoritative content reducing the spread of borderline content and rewarding trusted creators thanks to these investments videos that violate our policies are removed faster than ever as a review our policies on an ongoing basis we are putting forward some new guidelines according to you we've been taking a close look at our approach toward heedful content in consultation with dozens of experts in subjects like violent extremism supremacism civil rights and free speech based on those learnings we are making several updates a 1st of all I'd love to see a list of people they talk to I would love to see a list of the people they had conversations with regarding white supremacist violence extremism civil rights and free speech my guess 99 percent of them are people from like the Southern Poverty Law Center so here is what they say. In 2017 You Tube says we introduced a tougher stance toward videos with supremacist content including limited recommendations and features like comments on the ability to share the video this step dramatically reduced use to those videos on average 80 percent said they were taking another step in our heads which policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cased religion sexual orientation or veteran status This would include for example videos that promote a glorify Nazi ideology which is inherently discriminatory finally will remove content denying that well documented balance events like the Holocaust or the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary took place. So the examples they're using are things we're pretty much everybody's like Ok Well You Tube has no duty to keep those videos up as a threat to to quote unquote free speech not to keep the bit like what I ban them I would and I would allow everything on You Tube that falls within the guidelines of the 1st Amendment but I don't run You Tube they're allowed to they're the private company they're allowed to set guidelines but if they actually wish not to ban mainstream conservatism they're going to need to find this because again their policy is now prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination. Now what if what we are actually talking about is superiority or superiority at a thing so for example let's say that you were to make a video on why it is that all the members of the l.b. Are men why it is that all the members of the n.f.l. Are men and you say Well it turns out that the reason that all the members of the n.f.l. Me and I'll be are men is because men are built differently than women and perform differently athletically and so be foolish to try and compare the 2 is that bannable under your policy after all you are now alleging that men are better at those sports than women are that's an allegation that also happens to be a fact and that would explain a disparity we had a hotly fraught debate last year over why wait is that female soccer players are paid less than men and there are few facts that are relevant one men are more fun to watch because men are better at soccer the Women's National Soccer Team last scrimmage is to high school boys is that going to get a video of this ban from youtube if you point out for example that men are not women and women are not men and therefore men should not race against women in women's sports because men on average are not women and women are not men not only on average ever is that discriminatory against transgender people because that's a hotly fraught debate is it not and one in which the biological facts suggest discrepancy so is the new you policy that every disparity is attributable to societal discrimination is that the new policy and then if you buck against that and suddenly you have violated their hate speech policy let's say that you do a video like a video that I've done where you take just polling statistics on how Muslims globally thing and you say globally more not even a critique of the religion more Muslims self identified Muslims globally believe extreme things and self identified Christians or Jews is that me alleging the superiority of Jews or Christians over Muslims or is that me citing statistics that exist in the world and that make a point about the connection between ideology and religion. I mean like is it is that bannable on You Tube quite unclear according to You Tube standards that's the whole point being deliberately vague is the point of the standard so you can just ban stuff on the moment on and on for a moment and it gets worse what gets more of You Tube's policy here in a 2nd because this is the policy the left would love to see by the way not just promulgated at You Tube but in American law eventually the left would like to see hate speech regulation that mirrors all of the sort of stuff. That just one second 1st let's talk about the earphones that you are using to listen to the show are you using the old fashion your bones of the wires you know when you put it in your pocket they're all tangled you take them out you need a sword to cut them if you cut them you know or getting more Instead you should be using red cons or let's say that you have the really expensive you're about but your last one you don't feel like shelling out a fortune from your buds why not go over the rake and they just released their best model yet the each one of the 5 there's 6 hours of play time seamless Bluetooth pairing more bass and more compact design that gives you a nice noise isolating fit reckons wireless your buds are incredibly comfortable they're perfect for on the listening end for taking phone calls I love my read on where was your buds and unlike some of your other wireless options those ear buds don't have any dangling wires or stems get 15 percent off your order today it by Ray Kahn dot com slash then again that's be you I r a y c o n dot com slash meant for 15 percent off break on wireless ear buds by re Kon dot com slash then go check them out right now and get that 15 percent off when you use that website by Ray Kahn dot com slash vendetta great pair of your buds that is not going to cost you a fortune and will sound great Ok so as I say you've policy here is deliberately vague and they suggest that they are going to update their system to stop recommending non authours head of content how do they define off the word hate of content presumably the same mainstream media outlets that lie to you on a regular basis and it's winter news also they say that they are now going to go after what they call borderline content borderline content now what exactly is borderline content Who the hell knows. They say in addition to removing videos that violate our policies we also want to reduce the spread of cons and they come right up to the line well since you've not to find the line what is right up the line look like it's in January we've highlighted pilot had an update of our systems in the us so when the recommendations of blue line content and harmful misinformation such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness or claiming the earth is flat we're looking to bring this updated systems more countries by the end of 2019 now get the examples they're using are non-controversial things that You Tube has an obligation to post videos that the earth is flat not a lot of people but what if borderline content is exactly the kind of content that is politically fraught what is poor line content is exactly the kind of content that You Tube deems to be dangerous but that ends up being at the center of our political debate I mean this is the real question and again I don't think that this thing stops you policy I think what the left would love to see is these sorts of regulations promulgated on a broader level and so this is had consequences in Canada for example if you cite the Bible you cite Leviticus on homosexual activity you can be prosecuted in Canada the same thing as happened in Britain if you're on a street corner you're shouting words from Leviticus they can haul you into court is that what we want in the United States of America because there are those on the left who do want this there was a State Department official who actually from the Obama administration actually came forward and suggested exactly and it was Richard Stengel actually came forward and suggested Richard Stengel that the that the Free Speech was in the United States be rewritten to mirror Britain and Canada which is completely outside the u.s. Is 1st Amendment tradition. Dangerous stuff we're playing with fire here and listen You Tube's a private company they can do what they want but they're setting up a real opening for competitive sources if they continue to crackdown on content without defining exactly what exactly they're doing Ok in just a 2nd we're going to speak with channel from The Washington Examiner shows a couple of good pieces about impeachment and the i.g.

The Ben Shapiro show weekdays from one to 3 pm right here on Radio this is a great country the people came before us are great it's that water point the Democrats that now and the people who came before us had greatness in ways that we don't have and we stand on their shoulders that's what makes the country great a little bit of gratitude we go a long way but Democrats can't acknowledge their American public shut your problems Democrats acknowledge the American public the Ben Shapiro show weekdays from one to 3 pm on one of 4.5 f.m. And am 950 k. Hi. Welcome back this is the bench here I show so the Democrats now put forward their impeachment charges the charges are vague they are unsubstantiated they do not rise to the level of even a crime let alone impeachable offense writing about this has been Siana low she writes for Washington Examiner she previously interned for National Review founded the u.s.c. Economic Review Jenna thanks much for joining the show for having me so you have a piece out in the last couple of days about the Democrats and their impeachable offenses What do you make of their characterization of what constitutes an impeachable offense so the big mistake is the lesser of the charges were written and more of their inability to appeal to public support you know you saw the early uptick in support for impeachment that would be typically get to the contrary that primarily Democrats and Liberals finally agreeing with the Democratic party line but help what they have picked for something but they have been unable to make any headway with swing voters in particular but I'm sure I'm going to save the child presidency in 2020 and it was only because they've been they haven't had the actual strategy of how to fill in the public purse but it was a quid pro quo and then it was a store chain and then it was bribery and then we now just realized that the only thing that would resonate in the public would be abuse of power but at this point it's kind of too well yeah and even their abuse of power charge is too big because the charge that they're using is basically the Trump ignored or injure the national interest well I mean that could basically be thrown at nearly any president who had an eye toward reelection and virtually any activity that had an impact on reelection. Exactly and also the abuse of power Thanks so I understand that it is still legally dubious how if that are not impeachable offense must also include a criminal act or components of a crime but I think that we all know that that if you're going to try and press forward with an abuse of power charge you need a little more to end the evidence than that what that had obviously the White House is making it difficult because they are blocking that the ferry witnesses but you know you have gone way with the only one who is able to attest to any sort of actual abuse of power with cat knowledge and said we have a lot of witnesses who want secondhand Quentin have the blue dress Nixon had the tape we just don't have that here and Democrats have failed the focus thing on the fact that that you know if you have the songlines have the money instead what the for having very NAVL are bringing out angry for president think that what the public I think don't think I don't know went over a single vote in the country with I mean even the argument that there's an obstruction of Congress going on is empty considering that it's not connected to an obstruction of justice claim so obstruction of justice actually happens when the judiciary declares that you have to comply with the subpoena and you say no that's obstruction of justice every other impeachment that is mentioned obstruction of Congress has also mentioned obstruction of justice but in this particular case the Democrats have overtly st
