Obama had ICE.
Ben CominosGUEST
63:27
Leftists didn't like it, but they weren't shooting people, leaving the bullet in them and then doing this.
Ben CominosGUEST
63:33
And we still there were leftists calling Obama the deporter in chief while Republicans were saying, look at the open borders under Obama because they just live in a completely fictitious world.
Ben CominosGUEST

Donald Trump, the corruption.
Samuel BiltonHOST

They wanted to include as much of that as possible in this movie, and they definitely achieved that.
Samuel BiltonHOST
5:54
Leftists are portrayed on campus as angry and naive, which if you have seen videos of those kind of students in America, you'll know that it's almost impossible to actually character troll them.
Samuel BiltonHOST
6:02
It's actually just what they're like.

Seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
Matt SpeerHOST
47:02
And there's nothing wrong with being a liberal, okay? Because that falls down to the roots of classic liberalism.
Matt SpeerHOST
47:08
Leftist, progressivism, socialism, those things are absolutely antithetical to being a liberal.
Matt SpeerHOST
47:14
This is my issue is that we get so caught up in pigeonholing people and putting labels on them and calling them this.
Matt SpeerHOST
47:23
Okay, here's a perfect example of this.
Dana LoeschHOST
34:47
If you want to be historical and actually accurate, it's Judea and Samaria.
Dana LoeschHOST
34:52
Leftists in the United Nations say West Bank.
Dana LoeschHOST
34:55
And Macron, who is a leftist, says West Bank.
Dana LoeschHOST
34:57
I say Judea and Samaria because that's literally been the name of it for thousands of years.
Matt WalshHOST
35:42
If that happens, we will solve the illegal immigration problem overnight.
Matt WalshHOST
35:47
Leftists would rather muddy the waters by pretending ICE had no reason to shoot this particular DoorDash driver, because if you're talking about that, then you're missing the much bigger and more important issue at hand.
Matt WalshHOST
36:00
Now, the best possible response to these people, once we're done enforcing the law and deporting every illegal alien without apology, is to be honest about what we're seeing every day in our own communities.
Matt WalshHOST
36:12
You know, we should talk about what life is actually like with and without the wonders of diversity, quote, unquote.

The gas stations seem to think we are at war.
Matt LechHOST
35:28
But let's move domestically forward.
Matt LechHOST
35:30
Red scare slash McCarthyism is something we've talked about a lot on Left Reckoning, not only the famous McCarthyite period following World War II, but also the red scare around World War I.
Matt LechHOST
35:42
And even the sort of in the 1870s, the panic over the Paris Commune and how that was manifesting itself in the U.S. here.
Matt LechHOST
35:53
And, of course, we are in the midst of another one of those.
Salty CrackerHOST
19:29
What an idiot.
Salty CrackerHOST
19:31
That's what leftism does for you.
Salty CrackerHOST
19:33
Leftism tells you everything that's possible for you to be successful, for you to create, for you to build.
Salty CrackerHOST
19:42
Don't do that.
Salty CrackerHOST

Ben BurgessHOST
2:09
Leftists have adapted to the decline of international class politics in many ways, one of which was a theoretical focus on elites.
Ben BurgessHOST
2:16
The elites might be, uh, thought of as driving social change through the managerial class or alternatively preventing social change as a roadblock to class consciousness.
Ben BurgessHOST
2:26
In the 20th century, elite theory tried to learn from the failures of working-class politics and refound the left on a new basis, but did it learn the right lessons? What kind of elite should be the basis for left politics, if any? Are the elites a revolutionary subject, a roadblock to class consciousness, or something else entirely?" So that is the response that, uh, that is the prompt, uh, that we were all given, and, uh, I will, uh, play.
PhilippGUEST
22:35
You know, they are promising, you know, very repressive policies in general to, you know, Palestinian protesters and so on.

Leftists also, of course, they are promising mass deportation.
PhilippGUEST

PhilippGUEST
