themselves, walking around on eggshells. young people are doing consent videos before they moved to second base with a girl so they don t get sued. it s really sucking all the joy out of life. laura: and romance. if i were a young person these days, i would be stressed out and having to take all the drugs they take now because they re always worried about the new rules. are you saying that consent is sucking the joy out of romance? no, what i said was making a video to document the consent is sucking the joy out of interactions between the sexes. fear of being dragged before a board or fear of litigation keeps boys from asking girl asking girls out and vice versa. definitely a conversation to be had about due process and what we need to do on college campuses. i think consent is a completely different conversation.
gay person moves their hands in a flourishing motion and you need to apologize. there is a creepy pc thing out that really bothers me. i don t think it s so much about political correctness as it is about being sensitive of what might really hurt someone. when we talk about christmas songs, i wouldn t necessarily put baby, it s cold outside in the realm of christmas songs. when you talk about liberals laura: even if it s not. do they play it in june? the way president trump raises, this is a president sitting less than a foot away from another president who a lot of conservatives talked about being a muslim for the last decade, as if there was something wrong with that. when we talk about turning the tide of the national conversation in the something that s a little less offensive, he doesn t have to do with political correctness. i would like to see what conservatives would have said had it been president obama who
michael brown, trevor martin. so is it all trump? you know, i like to look back to the era of george h.w. bush that we were thinking about yesterday. seems like a century ago when people could engage in civic conversation. people from different political perspectives, and try to work things out. now our whole situation is totally polarized. people scream at each other. they don t think. they don t talk. i think it is a very troubled time, and it is different from i think virtually any other era in american history but another problem we have here is our founding fathers, thomas jefferson, sam adams, you go back to any of them, they said that this experiment in mass democracy they were implementing, first time in human history, could only survive if we had an educated citizenry. that s been a theme throughout american history. laura: so, okay, the soliloquies fascinating.
days from now, he s going to get sentence. laura: wasn t michael flynn out of the country when he was wiretapped? they listened. it was the russian ambassado ambassador. laura: they are allowed to do that under u.s. surveillance policies. no problem. but then his name was unmasked. you wrote about this as well. this was something devin nunes got a lot of criticism for bringing up but the point is we do wiretapped. we never say this. but we wiretapped top russian officials. we knew what was being said. but then you think who s on the other end of that conversation? that s what was so-called unmasked. laura: why does susan rice s name come up frequently? she was involved in a lot of the unmaskings and never got any answer, why was it so necessary to learn these people s names? laura: byron york, we
learning history that we know that staying silent on these issues is simply not acceptable. john avlon, he s telling the president and the american people, what you ve done is not acceptable. yeah, and good for him. look, he is a unique figure in the cabinet because he s an obama administration holdover. that kind of thing is very unusual in this environment. i think it s also significant the va secretary and the joint chiefs have come out with their own statements that at least implicitly are taking their own stand. i say implicitly because they re not calling out the president, but they say proactively that racism they never get involved. condemning neo-nazis should not be a chapter in profile and courage. this should be baseline, normal, civic conversation. in this context, these folks are standing up. the fact they re doing it from a military and va perspective is
