00:00:57.000This is what we keep hearing from the media.
00:00:59.000Now, they never actually evaluate whether the plans are feasible or workable.
00:01:02.000They never even assess whether her proposed wealth tax, which would take a percentage of wealth from people who have already paid taxes on their income, whether that proposed wealth tax is even constitutional.
00:01:12.000They haven't assessed whether any of those plans would work financially, whether they work in terms of the budget of the United States.
00:01:21.000The fact is that the vast growth in the United States budget is driven by out-of-control spending, and that out-of-control spending is driven by entitlement programs, many of which she wants to add to, including Medicare for All.
00:01:32.000If you took out Medicare and Social Security from the United States budget, the United States budget would be in surplus.
00:01:38.000It is Social Security and Medicare that have bankrupted the country to the point where 30 years from now, 144% of our GDP will be spent on the national debt.
00:01:46.000So that's going to be very, very exciting.
00:01:48.000Well, anyway, Elizabeth Warren is leading the pack, and we're going to go through these candidates so that you know who exactly is going to be on stage in this most important of debates.
00:01:56.000So, you've got Elizabeth Warren, fake Native American and faux moderate, who once upon a time was in favor of things like school vouchers and wrote books like The Two Income Trap, in which she discussed the problem with having two parents outside the household working, and now is such a progressive leftist that she is threatening Bernie Sanders' flank.
00:02:14.000Bernie Sanders is running a little bit scared from Elizabeth Warren, and that is largely because the progressives in the media have decided that Elizabeth Warren is the hot new thing.
00:02:56.000So Cory Booker will be on stage fresh off having shot himself directly in the foot by attacking Joe Biden and it back and basically backfiring on him.
00:03:07.000We've also got Bill de Blasio, a very large groundhog killer, a crappy mayor of New York that nobody likes and nobody understands why he's even running.
00:03:13.000Julian Castro, who is hanging around basically in the hopes that somebody will give him a cabinet slot.
00:03:32.000Tulsi Gabbard, who is Bashar Assad's favorite congressperson.
00:03:36.000Jay Inslee of Washington State, a governor who has focused so much on climate change that he's done nothing about climate change in his actual state.
00:03:44.000Emissions are not actually down in the state of Washington.
00:03:46.000Amy Klobuchar, who is expected to be sort of a moderate candidate in this race, is somebody who is going to draw the middle in.
00:03:57.000Beto O'Rourke, who has flamed out worse than any candidate in recent memory, a man who started off with a money bomb and then proceeded to basically melt into shards.
00:04:09.000I've never seen a candidate melt down quite as completely as Beto O'Rourke.
00:05:23.000You look back historically, and when the bottom falls out of everything else, gold does tend to safeguard savings.
00:05:27.000Birch Gold Group has thousands of satisfied customers.

00:06:00.000Okay, so the Democrats are worried about a clown car on stage.
00:06:05.000And that's pretty much, I think, how they should open the debate.
00:06:07.000I think an actual clown car should drive up on stage, the door should open, and 20 candidates should all climb over each other to get out.
00:06:20.000So Politico reports, this week's debates will be the first time millions of Americans meet the cast of Democrats trying to take out President Donald Trump.
00:06:29.000That's precisely what has the party brass terrified.
00:06:32.000Yes, I would be terrified too if you're leading candidates or an octogenarian socialist who is so lazy he was kicked out of a commune in the 1970s, A fake Native American who has spent her career basically lecturing people while picking up a half million dollar salary from Harvard Law School and then proclaiming that she is some sort of leader of the people.
00:06:52.000Joe Biden, a gaffe machine who has failed in every presidential run he has ever tried and whose only fame and notoriety is due to the fact that he lucked out by having Barack Obama select him as his vice president.
00:07:03.000And And Kamala Harris, who is a narc, right?
00:07:07.000Those are your leading candidates, Democrats.
00:07:40.000So the Democratic Party is a little bit worried about this.
00:07:44.000Interviews with nearly 20 Democratic elected officials, party chiefs, labor leaders, and operatives the past week revealed an air of foreboding, verging on alarm, that the debates will degenerate into a two-night bare-knuckle brawl, which, honestly, that's why Republicans should watch this thing, because you never know what's going to happen, guys.
00:08:00.000I mean, if this turns MMA, If this turns ground and pound, it's gonna be good, solid stuff.
00:08:05.000Well, maybe that's because they will be left with the proper impression.
00:08:07.000Because it is a bickering, small-minded opposition party.
00:08:09.000candidates starting to take swipes at one another, the fear is that voters will be left with the impression of a bickering, small-minded opposition party.
00:08:16.000Well, maybe that's because they will be left with the proper impression because it is a bickering, small-minded opposition party.
00:08:24.000Randy Weingarten, who's president of the American Federation of Teachers and a member of the DNC, and this should just remind you folks that the teachers unions are not friends to They are friends to the Democratic Party, who promised them insane amounts of treasure and loot.
00:08:41.000Randy Weingarten says, It's going to be a scrum.
00:08:45.000A lot of people trying to score points on each other and looking like scoring points was more important than communicating with the American people.
00:08:50.000That circular firing squad is not going to help save our democracy or help working families.
00:08:55.000There are a few reasons Democrats think their presidential hopefuls might escalate their attacks on Wednesday and Thursday.
00:09:00.000Well, number one, somebody has to break out of the pack and this would be the time to do it.
00:09:05.000Cory Booker has been attacking Joe Biden.
00:09:07.000Kamala Harris has been attacking Joe Biden.
00:09:50.000It turns out that Joe Biden's lead, by the way, is starting to deteriorate in some of the major states, according to a new poll from Crooked Media and Change Research.
00:09:57.000Crooked Media, of course, the far left group that brings you Pod Save America.
00:10:29.000And then Bernie Sanders following at 20%, Elizabeth Warren at 19%, Pete Buttigieg at 14%, and then very sad, sad Kamala Harris all the way down at 5%, Cory Booker at 3%, and Beto trailing at 3%.
00:10:42.000According to that new poll, Joe Biden leads the Democratic primary horse race, but in the various states, it's pretty close.
00:10:48.000In Iowa, Biden is only up 27-20 over Elizabeth Warren.
00:10:52.000They've got Sanders at 18 and Buttigieg at 17, so that's a crowd right there.
00:10:56.000In South Carolina, that is the only place where Biden has a serious lead, according to the Crooked Media polling group.
00:11:02.000They say that he is up at 39 percent, presumably because there are a lot of black voters in the South Carolina Democratic primary, and that is where Biden's base of support is, followed by Warren at 15, Sanders at 13, and Buttigieg at 11.
00:11:14.000One of the other things this poll is showing is how closely grouped Warren, Sanders, and Buttigieg are.
00:11:19.000In New Hampshire, Sanders is actually ahead at 28 percent.

00:13:24.000This is a piece of supposed reportage.
00:13:26.000Amazing that nobody in the Democratic Party discovered that Joe Biden was a tough-on-crime Democrat in the 1990s until just the minute they seek to sink him in the nomination process.
00:13:58.000One of the reasons it's incredibly stupid is many of the people who are very much behind better policing in the black community were members of the black community who were pointing out that the crack epidemic Was wrecking an enormous number of lives in the black community.
00:14:11.000In fact, federal government and states getting tougher on law enforcement in 1994 reversed a 30 year downward spiral in violent crime in the United States.
00:14:20.000It's one of the most dramatic stories in American public policy history.
00:14:23.000The fact that Joe Biden is now being dragged through the mud over it.
00:14:36.000I am very skeptical that works out well.
00:14:38.000But to suggest that because Joe Biden was worried about crime during the highest crime time in modern American history, To suggest that that was a problem for Joe Biden because Joe Biden was therefore a racist is insane.
00:14:50.000But that's exactly what the New York Times is going for right here.
00:14:54.000So here's what the New York Times reports.
00:14:55.000In September 1994, as President Bill Clinton signed the new Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in an elaborately choreographed ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Joseph R. Biden Jr. sat directly behind the president's lectern, flashing his trademark grin.
00:15:12.000For Mr. Clinton, the law was an immediate follow-through on his campaign promise to focus more federal attention on crime prevention.
00:15:17.000But for Mr. Biden, the moment was the culmination of his decades-long effort to closely marry the Democratic Party and law enforcement and to transform the country's criminal justice system in the process.
00:15:28.000The truth is, Biden boasted a year earlier in a speech on the Senate floor, every major crime bill since 1976 that's come out of this Congress, every minor crime bill, has had the name of one Democratic senator from the state of Delaware, Joe Biden.
00:15:41.000Now more than 25 years later, as Biden makes his third run for the White House, many calling for ambitious criminal justice reform, among the other Democrats, he must answer for his role in legislation that criminal justice experts and his critics say helped lay the groundwork for the mass incarceration that has devastated America's black communities.
00:15:58.000Black voters don't seem to care about this stuff.
00:16:18.000But at this point, this belief that because Joe Biden was tough on crime, when crime rates were at record highs in the United States, therefore he's a racist, is ridiculous and insane.
00:16:28.000You know how many black lives were saved by criminal justice?
00:16:31.000By increases in criminal justice resources at the federal and state level in the 1990s?
00:16:35.000It would be tens of thousands of human lives were saved by that.
00:16:38.000The murder rates in America's capital cities were skyrocketing throughout the 1980s, culminating in the early 90s.
00:16:45.000And then the government decided, hey, maybe we better get tough on crime instead of following these lefty protocols on exactly how crime ought to be fought.
00:16:54.000In fact, if you want a more prosperous minority community in the United States, if you want prosperous black communities with a serious tax base, with growing economies, with people who are able to go to well-funded schools, you know what you need?
00:17:08.000The only way to do that is to have more police in these areas.
00:17:13.000Literally, that's the only way to do this.
00:17:15.000The reality of high black crime rates in the United States goes all the way back to the early 20th century and before.
00:17:22.000And that was largely because the white community decided that they didn't care if black people killed each other, because racists decided they didn't care if black people killed each other, so they simply would not allocate law enforcement resources to the black community.
00:17:33.000This ended with increases in violence.
00:17:36.000Then, in the 1960s, There was a decision made by folks on the American left that they would get loose on crime, supposedly out of sympathy for black communities, and crime rates skyrocketed, including in the black community.
00:17:49.000And particularly in the black community.
00:17:51.000And those differentials have never been corrected between black and white crime.
00:17:56.000That is the fault of government policy that ignored, for well over a century, crime in the black community because people who are racist didn't care if black people hurt each other.
00:18:06.000And then it was followed by lefties who thought they were being sympathetic if they pulled those resources out of the black community.
00:18:11.000And now you're starting to see that again.
00:18:13.000One of the best things that happened to the black community in the 1990s and 2000s was the decrease in crime rates that led to the capacity for investment in a lot of these communities.
00:18:24.000This isn't a particularly supremely conservative position.
00:18:29.000There's a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
00:18:33.000Jane Levy, she wrote a book on this about crime rates in, I believe it's called Crimeland, something like that, in Los Angeles, specifically in Los Angeles.
00:18:41.000And what she talks about is the fact that contrary to popular opinion, what is actually needed in high crime areas is not fewer arrests.
00:18:49.000It is more law enforcement presence, people living in the community, people who are visible on the streets, people working with those people.
00:18:56.000The fact that Joe Biden is getting dragged through the mud over all of this, is fairly insane and it's being led, let's be frank about this, is not being led by members of the black community.
00:19:04.000This is being led by the progressive woke credentialed class who have decided that police are bad and that the real problem is quote-unquote mass incarceration.
00:19:13.000When folks say mass incarceration, the question is which of the people who are in prison are in prison because they didn't commit crimes?
00:19:18.000In order to make the case that mass incarceration has been a serious problem in the United States, you need to make the case that the people who are in prison are actually innocent or are being over-punished.
00:19:28.000If you want to make the case that low-level drug arrests should be decreased, I'm basically okay with that case.
00:19:34.000But the vast majority of people who are in prison are in prison for violent crime.
00:19:39.000Releasing those people on the street is not going to make communities better.
00:19:43.000In fact, it's going to make crime rates skyrocket.
00:19:45.000The combination of welfare benefits that are created to help single mothers at the expense of married families, and a crime policy that has been loosened over the course of the past few years, is making things worse, not better.
00:20:00.000The single largest factor in rising crime rates, and crime rates generally, the single rising factor in poverty, and poverty generally, is single motherhood, is men not in the community.
00:20:09.000There are two ways that men are being removed from the community.
00:20:12.000One is voluntarily, the men are knocking up women and leaving.
00:20:16.000That is not just true of black communities.
00:20:17.000This is true of poor white communities in Appalachia.
00:20:28.000It's driven by that, and yes, people committing crimes and then getting arrested.
00:20:33.000But if people commit crimes and are not arrested, how exactly is that going to make any of these communities safer?
00:20:37.000Is the idea here that if men are out there committing crimes, these are also solid family men, generally, who are sticking at home and playing with the kids at night?
00:20:45.000There's not a lot of evidence to support this particular contention.
00:20:48.000So Joe Biden is not the bad guy here, but the media are going to try and make him the bad guy just in time for this debate.
00:20:53.000It's amazing that I've become a Joe Biden defender.
00:20:58.000But the Democratic Party has moved so far to the left that Joe Biden, who is indeed a far left dude, is now considered a serious moderate who's going to be attacked on stage for the Horrible sin of working to militate against incredibly high crime rates in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
00:22:00.000Not only because I get a lot of death threats and I need a gun to protect myself, but also because the Second Amendment is the bulwark against tyranny.

00:23:00.000Meanwhile, controversy again breaking out over illegal immigration.
00:23:04.000Democrats are trying to pass funding that would presumably alleviate some of the circumstances at the border, which there is a humanitarian issue at the border.
00:23:15.000There is no question there's a humanitarian issue at the border.
00:23:20.000They're simultaneously trying to tie together Emergency border aid and trying to force the government to release more illegal immigrants into the interior.
00:23:30.000That's what they're doing instead of alleviating conditions at the border and making it easier for the government to keep track of people at the border and to process asylum claims more easily.
00:23:38.000Democrats are forcibly attempting not to do that.
00:23:41.000Instead, they now want to provide humanitarian aid without actually allowing for the more quick processing, quick and easy processing of the people who are crossing that border, which of course is not going to alleviate the problem.
00:23:53.000If you are suggesting to people that if they evade the authorities for long enough, they get a green card, or that if we don't have more people at the border to process asylum claims, that somehow this is not going to lead to more people trying to cross between ports of entry, You're just dead wrong.
00:24:11.000So here's what House Democrats are trying to do.
00:24:13.000The House passed a $4.5 billion emergency border aid bill on Tuesday.
00:24:17.000It contained provisions for the treatment of migrant children in U.S.
00:24:20.000custody that Democratic leaders added amid widespread anger in their ranks over President Trump's handling of the crisis.
00:24:25.000I mean, even notice how the Washington Post covers this.
00:24:27.000It's not about Trump's handling of the crisis.
00:24:29.000Democrats Just three months ago, we're pushing not to fund more beds at the border.
00:24:37.000Some Democrats are still pushing not to fund more beds at the border.
00:24:41.000Take, for example, the conflict between Hillary Clinton and AOC.
00:24:44.000They both tweeted yesterday about the situation on the border.
00:24:47.000Hillary Clinton tweeted, I've been heartbroken and horrified to read the news of children at the border being detained in appalling conditions.
00:24:55.000By the way, this goes all the way back to the Obama administration and before.
00:24:58.000Not enough food, babies being forced to take care of babies, everyone sick.
00:25:02.000Okay, now we should all be concerned about this, obviously, which is why we should increase the amount of funding at the border for Border Patrol.
00:25:42.000AOC is encouraging people not to make the beds for the kids at the border to presumably help the kids at the border.
00:25:48.000Democratic policy on illegal immigration is completely incoherent, and not only incoherent, it is not driven toward alleviating humane conditions at the border, making them more humane, It is directed at increasing the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border and creating public pressure to allow those people to move into the interior in order to quote-unquote alleviate the crisis.
00:26:16.000The backdrop for the vote is not only the humanitarian concerns about the surging number of migrants, but also President Trump's threats, delayed but not canceled Saturday, to begin a mass deportation of undocumented immigrant families.
00:26:26.000Notice how the Washington Post uses undocumented immigrants.
00:26:29.000This is typical media speak for illegal immigrants.
00:26:32.000These are not immigrants who are just lacking documentation.
00:26:36.000The vast majority of people crossing the border are people who are immigrating without any claim to enter the United States.
00:26:41.000Most of the people who apply for asylum in the United States are not granted asylum on the basis of an asylum claim.
00:26:47.000Democratic lawmakers have expressed concerns about passing a border aid bill that would not address both of these issues.
00:26:52.000Nita Lowey, who is the House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman, Democrat in New York, unveiled changes to the bill Tuesday morning that would require the Border Patrol to establish new health and safety standards for migrants in its custody, as well as protocols for dealing with migrant surges within 30 days.
00:27:07.000The changes would also limit children's stays at influx shelters used by the Department of Health and Human Services to no more than 90 days and require the department to report to Congress on their use.
00:27:16.000Now all of that sounds innocent and wonderful until you recognize that Democrats are simultaneously defunding and preventing additional funding for the courts that would process these people.
00:27:24.000So basically what Democrats are doing, they're saying to Border Patrol, you need to certify that you're keeping people in humane conditions.
00:27:30.000Also, here's none of the money that you need.
00:27:32.000And also, you need to release people if they're not processed within 90 days, and we won't give you the resources to process.
00:27:38.000What do you think is the predictable effect of these two policies combined?
00:27:42.000The predictable effect is to grant a legal waiver so that people can enter the country based on shortage of resources that Democrats themselves refuse to provide.
00:27:50.000That's what's going on here, because $4.5 billion ain't gonna do it.
00:27:54.000Additional changes Lowy unveiled Tuesday afternoon would bar HHS shelter contractors who do not provide adequate accommodations, food and personal items such as toothbrushes, as well as routine medical care, schooling, leisure activities and other basic services.
00:28:06.000Listen, I think we should provide all of these things.
00:28:09.000By also increasing the amount of resources we dedicate to processing the claims so that we can make sure that people who are not supposed to be here do not remain here.
00:28:20.000By negotiating a deal with the Mexican government That they are a safe third-party country, just like Canada is a safe third-party country.
00:28:26.000If you're applying for asylum, you do so in the first country upon which you set foot that is outside your home country.
00:28:52.000The cadre of radicals inside the Democratic caucus.
00:28:57.000Tuesday's House vote was not expected to garner significant Republican support.
00:29:01.000The White House announced it was opposed to the bill on Monday.
00:29:03.000House GOP leaders said they favored a competing bipartisan bill that passed the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 30-to-1 vote last week.
00:29:13.000No Republicans basically voted for this bill because it's a bad bill.
00:29:16.000Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, he said, um, guys, you could just pass the bipartisan Senate bill that we passed.
00:29:24.000There are some Republicans who are not in favor of the bipartisan bill even, but the fact is that that is a better bill than the House bill.
00:29:32.000The two chambers now have only two days to spare before lawmakers are set to leave Washington for a week-long holiday recess.
00:29:39.000HHS has already warned Congress it will exhaust its funding for housing migrant children at the end of the month, a scenario that would impede efforts to move them out of border control facilities.
00:29:48.000The Senate is poised to vote this week on its own $4.6 billion emergency spending bill that included $2.9 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to address the large numbers of unaccompanied children arriving at the border.
00:30:01.000Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that it was time to get this thing done.
00:30:06.000Why is the House trying to hold this up?
00:30:07.000Specifically, by creating provisions designed to allow people to be released into the interior by law.
00:30:14.000The Senate bill includes $50 million more than the House bill for immigration judges to speed the adjudication of asylum claims and $61 million in back pay for ICE agents that Democrats in the House refuse to provide.
00:30:26.000Representative Chuck Fleischman of Tennessee, the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Subcommittee, said Republicans are especially unhappy with the lack of funding for immigration judges and restrictions on ICE funding.
00:30:38.000He said this should have been an easy situation, but nothing is easy when it comes to the border.
00:30:43.000House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that a vote against the House bill was a vote for Donald Trump and his inhumane, outside-the-circle-of-civilized attitude toward the children.
00:30:54.000She said that basically we are going to hold up the Senate bill.
00:30:59.000President Trump came out and he blasted all this.
00:31:01.000We'll get to the Democratic response to Trump, Trump's response to all this, and the media, who are just damned liars.
00:31:06.000We'll get to that in just one second, but first...
00:31:08.000With the ever-increasing numbers of car makes and models, it's now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:31:15.000Why endure the often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning like, is your Odyssey an LX or an EX?
00:31:20.000And then you wait while the counterman orders the parts on his computer, and it turns out that he only has like one part at the store.
00:31:26.000You have computers, and those computers have internets.
00:31:29.000And those internets have access to RockAuto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:31:32.000RockAuto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:32:29.000You get this, the very greatest in beverage vessels, leftist tears, hot or cold tumbler.
00:32:33.000Feast your eyes upon it, and you help protect us From the vicissitudes of our Internet big tech overlords.
00:32:39.000There's a story yesterday we'll get to a little bit in a little bit on the show about Google employees labeling me and this show Nazi materials.
00:32:54.000But according to our big tech overlords, you know, they could take us off the air at any minute on some of these tech outlets.
00:32:59.000That is why you should go subscribe to make sure that you can still get the material, to make sure that you can still hear the news that you want to hear with the conservative commentary that you want.
00:33:12.000where we're the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in America.
00:33:15.000So President Trump came out yesterday and he said, listen, the Democrats don't support anything.
00:33:26.000They've been trying to hold us up on every front.
00:33:28.000And when you look at what the House is doing by not providing the resources necessary to process people, which effectively forces people to be released into the interior, he is not incorrect.
00:33:37.000We're trying to get the Democrats to agree to really give us some humanitarian aid, humanitarian money.
00:33:45.000But with that, if we can get this bill signed, we'll be able to do it.
00:33:48.000You know, the Democrats don't want to sign anything.
00:33:52.000And now I think they're going to probably sign this, from what I understand.
00:33:57.000What we would like to do, and I'll do it right now officially, is ask the Democrats to give us Help on asylum, help on all of the loopholes, the horrible loopholes that get signed in over a period of years that don't allow us to do what we should be able to do.
00:34:17.000OK, and he's not going to get the votes of Democrats.
00:34:20.000Democrats are busily blaming President Trump for the situation on the border, even as they withhold the funding that he needs on the border, even as they do not give him the resources that he requires in order to process asylum claims for people trying to get into the country.
00:34:34.000In a second, I'll show you what the predictable effect of this is.
00:34:36.000Here's Dick Durbin, the ridiculous senator from Illinois, blaming President Trump for the situation on the border despite the fact that inhumane conditions go all the way back to the 1980s and all the way forward through the Obama administration and nobody in the media or the Democratic Party gave any craps about it.
00:35:20.000Make no mistake, we've had four different secretaries over at Department of Homeland Security.
00:35:25.000And of course that's inexcusable, but ultimately it's the President's responsibility.
00:35:29.000Okay, again, every claim that he makes about what Trump has done, either the Obama administration did it, it's forced by court order, or the Trump administration has refused to release adults into the interior of the United States without keeping tabs on them, which is actually what Democrats want.
00:35:44.000Right now, we have a shortage of resources on the border to process asylum claims.
00:35:47.000Very few people are being processed because our resources are spread so thin.
00:35:51.000Statistically speaking, we have seen a massive uptick in the number of illegal immigrants attempting to cross the border, particularly since November, December of last year.
00:36:01.000Now the media are finally realizing it, and naturally it's Trump's fault, despite the fact that back in November, December, January, February, he was saying we've got a crisis on the border.
00:36:09.000And the idea was that Democrats said, no, no, no, it's a manufactured crisis.
00:36:16.000Now, the truth is that the escalation of the crisis happened in January, February and March.
00:36:21.000Partially, I'm sure, as a result of the fact that Democrats refused to work with President Trump on any of this stuff.
00:36:27.000And let's go back to that period for just a second and point out exactly how members of the media treated the supposedly manufactured crisis.
00:37:23.000And then there are members of the media.
00:37:26.000Here's a montage of members of the media explaining this is absolutely a manufactured crisis from Chris Matthews to everyone else on MSNBC and CNN.
00:38:25.000Is it a crisis just because you call it that?
00:38:26.000Well that was their message back in January and February.
00:38:30.000Now their message is that this crisis is unprecedented, which is what Trump was saying back in January and February.
00:38:36.000Hey, there was a serious situation at the border.
00:38:38.000It was exacerbated by the fact that the media refused to call it a serious situation at the border.
00:38:42.000But now they've realized, hey, wait a second, there's a serious situation at the border.
00:38:47.000So today, let's start with the New York Times.
00:38:49.000The New York Times and the Associated Press, everybody printed this photo of drowned migrants.
00:38:55.000It's a horrible photo, a horrible, horrible photo.
00:38:58.000It's a photo of a man named Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez.
00:39:03.000He died with his 23-month-old daughter Valeria as they tried to cross from Mexico into the United States.
00:39:08.000It is a horrifying photo of a dead child with her dead father.
00:39:11.000Apparently what happened here is that trying to cross between ports of entry, because people were not being processed fast enough at ports of entry due to, wait for it, shortage of resources, Because of all that, because of all that, this father tried to swim his daughter across the river.
00:39:28.000He then proceeded to leave his daughter across the river and go back across the river for his wife, at which point his 23-month-old daughter, being a 23-month-old and I have small children, tried to jump back in the river to follow her daddy.
00:39:40.000First of all, the fa- Like, as a parent, that's inexcusable.
00:40:06.000The feeling among people that they have to do this sort of thing?
00:40:09.000Well, inability to process people at the border would be one thing.
00:40:12.000Inhumane facilities at the border would be another thing, although that wouldn't really be the concern because presumably this father and daughter would have then approached the border patrol authorities and claimed asylum.
00:40:22.000Because once you're on American soil, you can do that, which is why people are trying to cross between ports of entry.
00:40:36.000So the media have been pushing out this photo.
00:40:38.000And I honestly am not clear on which dead bodies the media are willing to show.
00:40:44.000It seems like an unclear standard and a politically driven standard, by the way.
00:40:47.000I'm not saying that they shouldn't show pictures like this.
00:40:49.000I'm saying that they are radically inconsistent on when they will show pictures like this.
00:40:52.000So they'll show a picture like this or the drowned migrant famously drowned on the beaches of Turkey trying to reach European soil in the midst of the refugee crisis over there.
00:41:03.000They will not show pictures from, for example, the Bataclan or from the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting or Israelis who are killed in terror attacks.
00:41:12.000So it's very weird which photos the media choose to feature and which they don't.
00:41:17.000I would guess that there's a pretty significant political motivation there.
00:41:20.000But the photo is obviously horrifying.
00:41:32.000When the entire Republican Party and the President of the United States was declaring there was an emergency on the border, he needed more resources to deal with it.
00:41:38.000You and your friends were busy explaining that it was all manufactured, it was all fake, Trump was lying, he just needed a political win.
00:41:45.000And now all of a sudden it's, will these photos move the needle?
00:41:49.000Trump has wanted more resources on the border for virtually his entire presidency, and that really escalated leading up to the 2018 election.
00:42:03.000The Salvadorian government released a statement from an earlier press conference where they said that the father and daughter drowned on Sunday the 23rd.
00:42:14.000And as they attempted to cross the river, their bodies were found on Monday.
00:42:19.000They add that they're in touch with the Mexican authorities to make arrangements to repatriate the victims.
00:42:58.000Chris Hayes over at MSNBC says, Trump dehumanizes everyone.
00:43:02.000This is all about Trump dehumanizing people.
00:43:04.000AOC voted against a bill that would even provide the most basic increase in funding for border facilities and was designed to allow more illegal immigrants to be released into the country.
00:43:14.000This is about Trump dehumanizing people?
00:43:17.000There is broad American agreement on what to do here.
00:43:20.000It is Democrats who have been refusing the funding that is necessary specifically for political gain.
00:43:23.000Here's Chris Hayes doing this routine.
00:43:26.000New York Times reporting a CBP official quote said the agency was able to send about a hundred children back to the station because overcrowding there had been alleviated.
00:43:35.000The official disputed the lawyer's accounts of conditions at the facility, insisting that migrant detainees housed by the agency were given access to periodic showers and were offered unlimited snacks throughout the day.
00:43:46.000Perhaps it's not surprising that this keeps happening when the people running our nation's immigration infrastructure constantly denigrate, insult, and dehumanize immigrants.
00:43:56.000Again, the conditions on the border have been consistent since Barack Obama was in office and before.
00:44:01.000No one on the left gave a damn about that.
00:44:03.000Brandon Darby over at Breitbart has been doing reporting on this stuff since I was working there.
00:44:07.000He's been doing reporting on this since like 2012, 2013.
00:44:15.000The same New York Times that printed that photo, that printed that terrible photo today, that same New York Times has a, had a piece January 11th, 2019.
00:44:27.000Trump claims there's a crisis at the border.
00:44:30.000The reality is illegal border crossings have been declining for nearly two decades.
00:44:34.000In 2017, border crossing apprehensions were at their lowest point since 1971.
00:44:40.000There's one group of migrants that is on the rise, families.
00:44:42.000A record number of families have tried to cross the border in recent months, overwhelming officials at the border and creating a new kind of humanitarian crisis.
00:44:50.000Nonetheless, the idea was that Trump was saying something that was false.
00:44:55.000This is how the media covered this thing because they couldn't just give Trump the win.
00:44:59.000They couldn't just allow Trump to say something true and then we could all deal with it in responsible, reasonable, adult fashion.
00:45:39.000Noises Off is basically a farce about a farce.
00:45:43.000So it's a play that's taking place that's supposed to be a farce and it denigrates into even more of a farce as the actors blow all of their lines and are terrible at everything.
00:45:53.000So here's a little bit of the trailer.
00:45:56.000Critics everywhere are calling Noises Off one of the most hilarious films you'll ever see.
00:46:01.000It's screamingly funny, side-splitting, ripping good fun.
00:46:05.000Noises Off is a rib-tickling, hysterical, raucous, riotous romp that's funny, funny, funny.
00:46:11.000It's actually a very, very funny movie, so you can go check that out.
00:46:15.000Noises Off, which is a great cast, very funny movie, worth the watch.
00:46:20.000Okay, time for a bevy of things that I hate.
00:46:26.000So this veritable cornucopia of things that I hate today, that begins with Google.
00:46:31.000So Google apparently had an internal conversation, it's now been uncovered by James O'Keefe, in which one member of the Google team emailed other members of the YouTube team saying, "Today it is often one or two steps to Nazis.
00:46:45.000"If we understand that PragerU, Jordan Peterson, "Ben Shapiro et al. are Nazis, "using the dog whistles you mentioned in step one.
00:46:51.000"I can receive these recommendations "regardless of the contents of what I'm looking at, "and I have recorded thousands of internet users "sharing the same experience." I don't think correctly identifying far-right content is beyond our capabilities.
00:47:03.000But if it is, why not go with Meredith's suggestion of disabling the Suggestions feature?
00:47:07.000This could be a significant step in terms of user trust.
00:47:10.000So, in other words, in order to achieve user trust, we have to shut down opinions we don't like and call everybody a Nazi.
00:47:15.000Sir, this is from the Trust, and I believe this guy is a member of the Trust and Ethics Council?
00:47:24.000And nothing I trust more than people who label me a Nazi.
00:47:27.000Just for the record, not only am I not a Nazi, I am probably one of the most hated people by Nazis in the United States and white supremacists in the United States, which is why the FBI arrested somebody two months ago for threatening to kill me and my family, finding in his house a copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a framed photo of Adolf Hitler, and body armor.
00:47:46.000You know, as the person most targeted by the alt-right on the internet in 2016, as a person who has spoken out routinely and repeatedly on the evils of the alt-right and white supremacy, as a person who despises Nazis, I think Nazis are evil, obviously, I will tell you, I did not see this coming.
00:48:04.000I find it strange that PragerU, run by Dennis Prager, who I know personally, and happens to be a fairly observant Jew, and also does not like Nazis, That PragerU and Jordan Peterson, whom I also know personally, and who spends half of his lectures talking about the evils of Nazi totalitarianism and judging people on the basis of race.
00:48:24.000These are Nazis, according to this person over at Google.
00:48:27.000And the fact that these people are, the step from, we hate Nazis, let's fight Nazis, to everyone I hate is a Nazi, was about one second.
00:49:35.000I can't hold back the dogs of war here.
00:49:38.000There are people who are far more militant than I who are on the Raging against this stuff.
00:49:46.000And raging against this stuff and ready to regulate this stuff because they feel like the promise was broken.
00:49:50.000That Google and YouTube and Facebook did not pitch themselves as lefty outlets that would only allow material they liked to be featured.
00:49:59.000These places were not pitched as Huffington Post.
00:50:02.000These places were pitched instead as platforms that were generally going to be generous in their allowance of content.
00:50:11.000And if they have shifted that into a left-wing, woke sensibility, there are going to be a lot of people who say, OK, you broke the bargain, so sure, it may violate my principles to regulate you, but what the hell, man?
00:50:20.000You broke the bargain, so my bargain with you is broken.
00:50:22.000Not going to play fair with people who don't play fair.
00:50:25.000I'm not one of the people who is suggesting that.
00:50:27.000I have, again, come out against Josh Hawley's bill, the senator from Missouri, in terms of regulating Facebook, regulating Google.
00:50:33.000I've come out against Elizabeth Warren breaking up big tech.
00:50:36.000But I'll tell you what, the bubbling, seething undercurrent of hatred for big tech is largely driven by the fact that they are completely non-transparent, and that when they are exposed, they're talking about crap like this, censoring materials they don't like.
00:50:53.000We'll be back here later today for two additional hours of content, so stick around for that, or we'll see you tomorrow for a full recap of the first Democratic debate.
