Ben Carson's Blackness, Legal Weed Fail, and Criminal Justice Reform Backlash: Matt Welch and Kmele Foster on Sirius XM at Noon ET

Call 877-974-7487 to heckle the former Independents co-hosts!

At noon New York time I will be hosting Sirius XM's Insight Hour, wrangling alongside me beloved co-former-Independents co-host Kmele Foster, to talk about the left-right kerfuffle over the meaning of Ben Carson's blackness, the reasons why Ohio voters rejected legal weed (we will be joined on that segment by Marijuana Policy Project Executive Director Rob Kampia), and the attempted backlash against criminal justice reform. Should be a lively show.

AND YOU CAN CALL IN: 877-974-7487.

I dunno, will Lucy be there?

[sarcasmic]

Don't forget Carson's belief that the Great Pyramids were grain silos. What an idiot.

[Vulgar Madman]

Duh, Everyone knows they were actually spaceports.

[Princess Trigger]

No, they ARE teleports.

[AlmightyJB]

I thought they were Judas Cradles for the Gods.

[Citizen X]

Nah, he's obviously just a huge fan of the Civilization games.

[ant1sthenes]

That was my first thought. Uh, I mean NEEEERRRRRRRRRRRD!

[Citizen X]

I wonder what his thoughts are on colonizing Alpha Centauri. "We need more government funding on laser research, so we can build the Planetary Party Lounge!"

[Vulgar Madman]

To bad we can't run Morgan for president.

[american socialist]

I'll call in and ask to compare and contrast family medical leave policies in U.S. Capitalist utopia Vs Danish socialist hellhole.

I took 5 years off to raise my kids.

You should try having skills and being good at things. It has worked out incredibly well for me in the U.S. Capitalist utopia.

[Agammamon]

But that's not *fair*! I mean, you used your hard work and ambitionprivilege!

[Rhywun]

Incredibly, this is what they actually believe - people are born in a certain caste with some level of innate abilities that cannot be altered.

[gaoxiaen]

Luckily, my caste just requires fluent use of English.

You forgot to post your anonbot link at the end. http://www.libertarianworkfromhomejobs.com

Maybe in socialist hellhole I can get away from assholes that think their app building skills make them better than everyone else.

[DEATFBIRSECIA]

In socialist hellhole, apps build you!

[Old Man With Candy]

You're just butthurt because NipAlert never took off.

[Rhywun]

Isn't that the one with Sheri Belafonte and her dogs?

[american socialist]

Be careful. Brian is going to come around and label you a racist.

[Rhywun]

I don't know who you're referring to but here's the reference for anyone who didn't get it.

[Akira]

Speaking of racists, have YOU stopped being a racist yet?

Where's Holgar when you need him?

[Citizen X]

Maybe you can ask for help with what words mean, while you're at it.

[Lee G]

Good News! Mortgages are dischargeable in bankruptcy in Denmark!

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Whaddya mean I don't pay my bills?
Why dya think I'm BROKE? HUH!?

[JWatts]

" ...in U.S. Capitalist utopia Vs Danish socialist hellhole."

You do realize that Bernie Sanders mischaracterized Denmark. Whether he lied or is just confused, he got it wrong.

"Denmark's prime minister says Bernie Sanders is wrong to call his country socialist"

[perlchpr]

The "meaning of Ben Carson's blackness"? Like, he's got a lot of melanin genes?

[GILMORE?]

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

It means that Republicans are TEH RACEIST. What else could it mean?

[Old Man With Candy]

The guy on hate radio yesterday (Wayne Beson?) explained that support for Ben Carson proves that Republicans are racist. This seems logical.

[AlmightyJB]

That's because Ben Carson is not really black like President Blacky McBlack Black. Carson's not adequately subservient to the white liberal class.

[Doctor Whom]

I hear he's actually a Scotsman.

[Notorious UGCC]

He's in the army, actually.

[lap83]

Everything Republicans do is motivated by racism.
Republicans support a black man for president.
Therefore it's because they are racist.

[Old Man With Candy]

The explanation (such as it was) was that by voting for Carson, racists could say, "See? I voted for a nigger, so I can't be racist."

God, I love Hate Radio.

[lap83]

That overcompensating mindset sounds familiar, but not from Republicans, at least not on this issue.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

The Chewbacca defense?

[GILMORE?]

31 flavors of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins proves that Republicans are Racist

[Old Man With Candy]

How can you have 31 flavors when there's children going hungry?

In Republican areas, they aren't allowed to serve anything with chocolate in it.

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

Your options are wintergreen or unflavored!

[american socialist]

Hi Gilmore,

Why do You think it is that White right-wingers obsess over whether liberals think they are racist or not? You dismiss their ideas outright so why would you care what they think since we all know that Leftists are intellectually deficient.

If you vote for a politician that is going to slash your future Social Security benefit because that politician appeals to your sense of victimhood doesn't that officially make you a moron idiot? Just wondering what you think, friend.

[GILMORE?]

YOURE A RACIST
YOURE A RACIST
YOURE A RACIST
YOURE A RACIST
YOURE A RACIST
YOURE A RACIST

"Would you stop that please?"

OMG LOOK AT YOU OBSESSED WITH BEING CALLED RACIST I WONDER WHY
OMG LOOK AT YOU OBSESSED WITH BEING CALLED RACIST I WONDER WHY
OMG LOOK AT YOU OBSESSED WITH BEING CALLED RACIST I WONDER WHY

- This is the apex of Amsoc's wit

[american socialist]

Maybe you are just hearing voices in your head. People here accuse me of supporting mass murderers all the time. I don't. I'm confident enough in my beliefs to ignore those assholes and I don't vote for people who appeal to my victimhood about being called a fellow traveller for Stalin. I just support politicians who I think are going to do the best job. Maybe you should do that too and ignore all these a-holes who call you a racist.

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

OMGOMGOMG! SICK BERN!!111!!!!

[Citizen X]

Dude, maybe you could try not being an apologist for mass murderers. Just a thought.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

No one has accused you personally of that. They mock you for having a word in your handle that happened to like a good mass murderer and they - include me - tease you for it.

So yeah. Claim to be a socialist but don't expect us to be kind to that coercive ideology that usually ends up in gulags and death.

[Citizen X]

For very large values of both "apex" and "wit."

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

ZOMG AMSOC YOU AR RIGHT AGAIN!!! WOW LIKE EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS TEH GEENYUS!!!!

TEATHUGLIKKANZ SHOULDNT GET UPSET IF PPL ACCUSE THEM OF RACEISM BECAS ITS NOT BIG DEAL IF ALL OF THEM ARE ACCUSED OF HATING SOMEONE FOR ARBITRARY REASONZ WHEN THE DONT BECAUSE THE PROBLY DO!!!! ALL TEATHUGLIKKANZ IS RACEIST AMIRITE!!!!

I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH BRAH!!!!11!!1111!!!!

[american socialist]

I like you-- a lot-- but your spelling sucks.

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

RAARRGH!!!1111!!!!!

[american socialist]

Your posts have progressed to indecipherabiliy. Strangely, I find it an improvement over where you are actually trying to make a point.

[JPyrate]

He makes more sense than you do strangely enough.

[Derpetologist]

I have a feeling you'll be getting a call from STEVE SMITH, Matt.

In other news, a Latino group is offering $5,000 for an audience member who heckles Trump during his upcoming SNL appearance.

A boy reads Donald Trump quotes:

Now they should do one with a 5 year old girl reading Shrillary's lies about the email PHASE SKANDUL in chronological order with cuts to headlines refuting each lie. Then at the end have her say "what difference at this point does it make?"

I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for Buzz feed to criticize queen Shrill, though.

My idea was to have Seth McFarlane do a voice over of Chris Christie at every GOP debate. Don't change anything he says, just have it said by the voice of Peter on the Family Guy. It would be perfect.

Hillary's lies and statements are so facially ridiculous and insulting, you don't need a kid to read them. Just get a good voice over guy to read them straight up. The effect would be similar to Leslie Neilson's deadpan delivery in Airplane and the Naked Gun movies.

[Rhywun]

That's pretty good actually. And I don't even like Family Guy.

[John]

I can't stand the show. But every time I see the commercials for it, I think "Chris Christie".

[Rhywun]

Except Latino groups are already out in front of Rockefeller Center protesting his appearance and how much you want to bet they'll cave.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Don't give Kennedy that number, you fool.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Wow - sexist much, FoE?

[Aloysious]

I am currently fixated with watching Pirate Truther sing the blues. How can I stop listening to [Dweams] to watch something informational?

Speaking of blackness, the way the media is covering the failure of the let the trannies use any bathroom they want ordinance in Houston is hysterical. Houston is according to the media "a predominately Democratic voting city". Strictly speaking of course that is true. Given that Houston is in Texas, the readers of the New York Times no doubt comfort themselves with the knowledge some vague group of Democratic voting Texans was so narrow minded and evil they wouldn't vote for the ordinance. The other way to describe Houston proper, as opposed to its endless suburbs, is that it is overwhelmingly black and Hispanic. Those Democratic voters are mostly black and Hispanic. That good Democrat voting minorities don't seem to give a shit or in fact are hostile to the greatest most importantists civil rights issue of the age is a truth that the media considers just too horrible for their readers to have to contemplate.

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

Yeah, the progtard media is going to have trouble understanding that the overwhelming majority of Americans aren't going to get mobilized about letting sketchball dudes use the same bathroom/lockerroom as their daughters just because he's decided to "identify" as female today. If that and gun control are the issues the left chooses to push in 2016, I think President Rubio will be elected by margins that would make Reagan jealous.

[John]

It was pretty easy to see Tranny rights was going to be a bridge too far. But they confused getting a five four majority in the Supreme Court with actually winning the political argument on gay marriage and thought everyone would go for Tranny rights like they did gay marriage. First, everyone didn't and hasn't gone for gay marriage. They just got the Supreme Court to shove it down the country's throat. And Tranny rights isn't gay marriage anyway.

Talk Like a Pirate Day was in September - It's time to put your eyepatch, parrot and cutlass away until next fall.

[Rufus The Monocled Derp Slayer]

Was candidate Obama scrutinized ever properly scrutinized by the liberal dynastic media?

[Bern-o-Matic 5000]

That's just a silly question

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

Even on the radio Kmele is hot.

[Bobarian (Would Chip Her)]

Just saying, but fuck SIRIUS.

I won't have anything to do with them since firing Anthony Cumia for being Anthony Cumia.

[The artist known Dunphy]

a court case just came down that a biologically male (no surgery etc) high school student who identifies as a girl must be allowed the same access to the high school girls locker room and showers as any other girl

This case is interesting ime because I have yet to see any of my liberal SJW friends agree with it

It seems peak gender retard has been reached

My friend , whose gay daughter just got married and who is as progressive on gender as can be quit doing roller derby because the league now allows men who identify as women to participate

She said they are beating the shit out of the 'real' women and she has had enough

We've now reached the point where all
That a kid needs to be able to have full access to female high school locker room and showers is to identify as female - biology is irrelevant

It puts people otherwise 100% sympathetic with trans issues in the opposing camp for the first time

If this makes its way to college it will
Flip Title IX

Biological men who identify as women will 'count' as female athletes for purposes of title IX
