Sacrificed on the Altar of Political Correctness
I want to spend the rest of this podcast talking about politics; in particular, what's going on with Brett Kavanaugh and his fading chances of sitting on the Supreme Court. It appears that he may be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. I also blame the Republicans for allowing this to happen - to have fallen into this trap; not just with Kavanaugh.
No Sense of Proportion
This has been slowly building, the camel's nose under the tent, and once the Democrats play this card - and this is not the racist card this is the rape card, the violence against women card. there's a zero tolerance now. You can't even create the appearance that one is somehow tolerant of any kind of sexual abuse against women. There is no sense of proportion.
Allegation About a 35-Year Old Event
There was an allegation that became more significant 2 days ago when a previously unnamed woman who claimed that BrettKavanaugh assaulted her when they were in high school. Now, of course, Kavanaugh is 53 years old now, so this is over 35 years ago.
There Was a Lot of Alcohol at This Party
Kavanaugh denied the initial allegation. Initially, the identity of the woman was unknown, as was the nature of the "sexual assault". So Kavanaugh denied it. Now we actually have a name: Christine Blasey Ford, 51, a professor of Psychology, a registered Democrat. She has come forward now with the details of the encounter and the lack of details, because much of it she does not recall. After all, it happened 35 years ago, and according to the accuser, there was a lot of alcohol at this party. She says that Kavanaugh was drunk, so she was probably drunk herself. I don't know if she has admitted to being drunk - there was alcohol at the party and the boys were drinking it. It stands to reason that she probably had some alcohol herself.

| 0:05.0 | Well, the big news today is the escalation of the trade war between the United States and |
| 0:14.7 | China. |
| 0:15.7 | Yesterday, I believe it was the President announcing tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods. |
| 0:25.7 | Of course, the tariffs are not on the Chinese goods. |
| 0:28.1 | The Chinese goods don't pay the tariffs. |
| 0:30.6 | Neither do the Chinese manufacturers. |
| 0:33.0 | The tariffs are paid by the American consumers who choose to buy these Chinese goods, or |
| 0:39.2 | the taxes are paid by American manufacturers or importers who bring in those goods and |
| 0:46.0 | who pay the tariffs at the border and who then pass on those tariffs to their customers |
| 0:52.2 | in the form of higher prices. |
| 0:53.9 | I think initially the year was some relief. |
| 0:56.6 | The markets I think were expecting that the tariffs were going to be as high as 25 percent |
| 1:02.0 | rather than the 10 percent. |
| 1:04.2 | But the tariffs are set to go up to 25 percent, I believe. |
| 1:08.8 | At the end of the year, if the Chinese don't come to an agreement that Trump considers |
| 1:13.9 | a winning deal for America, and in fact, Trump said that if the Chinese retaliated with |
| 1:22.1 | some additional tariffs of their own as a result of these new tariffs, that the US would |
| 1:29.5 | retaliate again with even more tariffs on a larger quantity of Chinese goods, which of |
| 1:36.8 | course was like waving a red flag at a bull. |
| 1:40.4 | I mean, how are you going to dare the Chinese to do something? |
| 1:43.9 | Say, hey, if you do this, well, then we're going to punish you because now if the Chinese |
