- 0:06Speaker 1: at a time. Usha Vance, wife of Vice President J.D. Vance,
- 0:12Speaker 1: responded to a crack made by Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat
- 0:16Speaker 1: running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan. El-Sayed was responding
- 0:21Speaker 1: to a speech the Republican Vice President made at a
- 0:24Speaker 1: rally of steel workers in Ohio. Vance said, I'd love
- 0:30Speaker 1: to go back in time and tell my papa, papa,
- 0:34Speaker 1: that's what he called his grandfather, a Democrat union worker,
- 0:39Speaker 1: tell my papa that there is a man who claims
- 0:42Speaker 1: to stand for working people who says not only should
- 0:46Speaker 1: we have Sharia law, but if you criticize it, you're
- 0:50Speaker 1: a white supremacist. That's not my papa's Democratic Party, my friends.
- 0:56Speaker 1: El-Sayed retorted, So do we think J.D. is taking Usha
- 1:01Speaker 1: with him back in time to meet Papa, or no?
- 1:06Speaker 1: Usha Vance has brown skin. Her heritage runs back to
- 1:10Speaker 1: the nation of India. Apparently, El-Sayed was suggesting that Papa
- 1:16Speaker 1: would not have approved of his grandson's non-white wife. Why
- 1:22Speaker 1: do El-Sayed and other Democrats say such things? Because they
- 1:27Speaker 1: get desperate. It doesn't mean anything in terms of public policy.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It's just a twisted form of virtue signaling. It's a
- 1:36Speaker 1: diversion from whatever argument the leftist was losing. Oh yeah? Well,
- 1:42Speaker 1: your grandfather was a racist, just like everybody else in America,
- 1:45Speaker 1: especially in those days, and he would have been repulsed
- 1:50Speaker 1: by your brown wife and beige children. I thought Democrats
- 1:55Speaker 1: celebrated this kind of diversity. While raising my family, I
- 2:01Speaker 1: was a minority under my own roof. My seven children,
- 2:05Speaker 1: born in Guatemala, called our home the Guatemala Colony. People
- 2:09Speaker 1: who are only remotely connected with my family are sometimes
- 2:13Speaker 1: surprised by the irreverent way we talk and joke about
- 2:18Speaker 1: race and ethnicity. If you're my age or older, think
- 2:22Speaker 1: Don Rickles. Some of my children's friends, who are first
- 2:26Speaker 1: or second generation immigrants, call my children white because of
- 2:31Speaker 1: the way they speak and conduct themselves. They grew up
- 2:34Speaker 1: with white parents in a white extended family in a
- 2:37Speaker 1: majority white Catholic community in a majority white society, so
- 2:42Speaker 1: it's not surprising. My Irish family and my wife's German
- 2:46Speaker 1: family are as white Midwestern as it gets, and both
- 2:51Speaker 1: sides have been warm and welcoming to our children. which
- 2:56Speaker 1: is exactly what Usha Vance said about the Vance family.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Leftists often console themselves with the belief that, regardless of
- 3:05Speaker 1: whether their policy positions are winners, they are better than
- 3:10Speaker 1: conservatives because conservatives are white supremacist bigots, even the black ones,
- 3:16Speaker 1: such as Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell. Liberals still don't
- 3:21Speaker 1: get conservatives on race. Conservatives don't care about race. Liberals
- 3:28Speaker 1: care deeply about race. They care more about race than
- 3:32Speaker 1: they do character or competence or anything else. The liberal
- 3:37Speaker 1: left bobbies in the UK told a white man that
- 3:40Speaker 1: he had not been stabbed by the brown man, as
- 3:44Speaker 1: the white man bled to death from being stabbed by
- 3:46Speaker 1: the brown man, because race was the determining factor in
- 3:50Speaker 1: the situation. Whatever the brown man said was right. Whatever
- 3:55Speaker 1: the white man said was wrong. The white man might
- 3:58Speaker 1: have died anyway, but his death became a certainty when
- 4:03Speaker 1: the police dismissed and mocked his plea for help because
- 4:07Speaker 1: he was white. If this matter of Papaw's presumed rejection
- 4:12Speaker 1: of Usha comes up in conversation, point out that the Democrat, El-Sayed,
- 4:19Speaker 1: made a sweeping, unfounded, and insulting accusation of racism about
- 4:25Speaker 1: the family of a white man who married a brown
- 4:28Speaker 1: woman and has produced four mixed-race children with her. You
- 4:32Speaker 1: never know which straw might break the camel's back and
- 4:37Speaker 1: turn that blue dot red. If you want more guidance
- 4:41Speaker 1: about how to fearlessly talk about race with blue dotters, fixitnowchip.com.

- 4:50Speaker 1: one about natural law and culture that has a chapter
