00:00:00.000The wages of political sin is Donald Trump.
00:00:03.000Speaker of the House Paul Ryan found that out this week after NBC News released a brand new poll showing only 39% of Republicans trust Ryan to lead the party more than 2016 presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
00:00:16.00058% trusted Donald Trump to lead the Republican Party.
00:00:19.000That holds true regardless of ideological self-identification.
00:00:22.000Very conservative voters favor Trump 63 to 34 over Ryan.
00:00:26.000Conservatives trusted Trump 57 to 40 over Ryan.
00:00:30.000Even moderates trusted Trump 57 to 40 over Ryan.
00:00:33.000For his part, Ryan, who's been trying to broker some sort of detente between Trump and the never Trump conservatives, he proclaimed himself just sanguine about the whole thing.
00:00:41.000He said, quote, I hope it's Donald Trump.
00:00:46.000Good Lord, I hope it is, because the person who's getting the nomination of our party is the person to lead our party.
00:00:52.000Okay, so this isn't a reflection of Trump's supposed massive popularity.
00:00:56.000He's won 42% of the Republican primary votes.
00:00:59.000It's a reflection of widespread discontent with a Republican establishment unwilling to go to the mat to stop President Obama's agenda, instead negotiating budget deals that fund Obamacare and executive amnesty and the Iran deal, among other travesties.
00:01:12.000Less than a quarter of Republicans generally approve of the job Congress has done, so it's no wonder that very few Republicans want to get by a Republican's congressional leader.
00:01:21.000And it turns out there are only two options on the poll.
00:01:38.000And it's not a particularly good case for making Trump leader of the free world or the Republican Party, given that a flaming bag of dog excrement is likely more popular than all of the choices that we just listed above.
00:01:50.000Nonetheless, Trump will be seen as the leader of the Republican Party, which, of course, is a giant problem.
00:01:54.000When all the options are terrible, or at least when all the decent options were taken off the table, even the least bad option is still terrible.
00:02:02.000Trump, as leader of the Republican Party, he does an inordinate amount of brand damage to the GOP, he hollows out the core of the party's supposed conservative ideology, and he underscores the left's favorite image of Republicans as ignorant know-nothings willing to pander to bigots to get ahead.
00:02:48.000They raised taxes, they increased government spending.
00:02:51.000This was supposed to be sort of the model country for how leftism could work.
00:02:55.000American-style leftism could work if you just handed enough power to one big strongman, and it's a giant fail.
00:03:01.000The LA Times reports today, with dire shortages of basic goods, a looming foreign debt payment, horrific street crime, and intransigent political divisions, Venezuela is in danger of collapsing into waves of deadly violence, U.S.
00:03:14.000Venezuela, which controls the world's largest reserves of crude oil, is in the throes of a potentially explosive political stalemate after opposition parties gained a majority in the National Congress in elections late last year.
00:03:26.000President Nicolas Maduro, a leftist, faces a possible recall vote sponsored by the opposition he's maneuvering to block.
00:03:34.000policymakers concerned about the ripples of more violence, but with few options to change the course of events.
00:03:41.000A senior US intelligence official said Friday, quote, So the Obama administration has already sanctioned a bunch of Venezuelan individuals linked to human rights abuses.
00:03:54.000The Senate has voted to extend the sanctions.
00:03:56.000Under the sanctions, we can actually confiscate some of their money, but we don't have much direct influence in the country.
00:04:01.000It's been ruled by anti-American socialists since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999.
00:04:05.000You figure Obama and Hugo Chavez would have gotten along better, but Hugo Chavez died and went directly to hell where he burns in sulfur.
00:04:11.000Maduro is a former bus driver and Chavez's hand-picked successor, which is a great resume right there.
00:04:18.000You know you need somebody to lead the country when they used to drive a bus.
00:04:24.000And again, nothing against bus drivers, but going straight from being a bus driver to running the country is weird.
00:04:29.000He was elected to a six-year term in 2013 after Chavez died, and then the United States says, we can't really intervene, because if we intervene, then we're seen as the problem.
00:04:39.000His approval ratings, Maduro's, are 15%.
00:04:49.000So, here is the part that's scary for us, ladies and gentlemen.
00:04:53.000Bernie Sanders thinks that we ought to be much more like Venezuela.
00:04:56.000All they're doing is closing the borders to trade, taking out more debt, spending more money where it doesn't belong on redistributionist programs, putting heavy regulations on whatever private industry is left, nationalizing industry.
00:05:11.000He wants to do all those things, except he wants to be even worse than Chavez was, in the sense that he would like to quash the domestic American oil industry, where Chavez lived off of the Venezuelan oil industry, to fund his petro... his petro...
00:05:24.000And by the way, the richest person in Venezuela is Hugo Chavez's daughter, which is not a coincidence.
00:05:30.000Bernie Sanders wants us to be more like Venezuela.
00:05:32.000Hillary Clinton also wants us to be more like Venezuela, but slowly.
00:05:36.000She wants us to get there, but we can't tell people we want to go there because then they're going to look there and they're going to see that place a crap hole.
00:05:41.000So instead, we're just going to sort of hedge our bets, pretend that we like private industry.
00:05:45.000No, we don't want to shut down free trade.
00:05:47.000No, we don't want to shut down private industry or regulate it.
00:05:50.000No, we never want to take out more debt and raise taxes to crazy levels.
00:06:20.000I mean, we've got a serious problem on our hands.
00:06:23.000Okay, so, with all of that said, what's happening inside the Democratic Party is we've now reached the fascist moment in American politics.
00:06:31.000Where you've got Sanders people who are upset with the Democratic Party establishment, they're upset with the system, and so they've started to engage in violence, and they want somebody who's going to come in and fix everything.
00:06:41.000They want a powerful man, like Bernie Sanders.
00:06:43.000You've got Hillary Clinton, who wants an inordinate amount of power to push her agenda.
00:06:48.000She wants that power to shut down her opposition.
00:06:51.000And you've got Donald Trump, who is also of the authoritarian mold, who wants to shut down his opposition, and who is being told by his own base
00:06:58.000That the system is so unworkable that we need a bad man to come in and fix all of it.
00:07:02.000So we've reached the moment of tyranny in the United States.
00:07:05.000But we focused a lot on the Republican Party and the rise of the kind of tyrannical authoritarianism of Trump inside the Republican Party.
00:07:11.000The same thing is happening, but even more extreme in the Democratic Party.
00:07:14.000Because at least you could say Ted Cruz wasn't an authoritarian.
00:07:18.000Bernie Sanders is a worse authoritarian.
00:07:20.000So you have an authoritarian fight over there.
00:07:22.000So, all of this is now breaking out into the open in a rather hilarious fashion.
00:07:29.000Over the weekend, and then the Nevada caucuses, we talked a little bit about this yesterday, at the Nevada Democratic Party had its state meeting, and the leader of the Democratic Party there is a woman named Roberta Lang, you're about to see her, and this is at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.
00:07:45.000And one of the things the Bernie Sanders supporters wanted is they wanted a bunch of alternative delegates sponsored as possible alternatives to the Hillary delegates.
00:07:53.000They feel like they're being excluded from the process.
00:08:33.000So people, for folks who can't see this, basically, she walks up there, she shouts that there's been a voice vote to appoint the delegates and adjourn.
00:09:35.000I'm going to repeat, unless you are told by someone from the campaign you can leave, you should not leave.
00:09:41.000So Bernie Sanders was asked about the violence here, he was asked about this in an interview, this clip three, and here was Bernie Sanders' response being asked about the violence at the Nevada Democratic Convention.
00:09:51.000Senator, quickly, uh, this past weekend with the Nevada Convention, your supporters... Okay, I think, yeah, we're gonna do with that later on.
00:10:52.000It can open its doors and welcome into the party people who are prepared to fight for real economic and social change, people who are willing to take on Wall Street, corporate greed, and a fossil fuel industry which is destroying the planet, or the party can choose to maintain its status quo structure, remain dependent on big money campaign contributions, and be a party with limited participation and limited energy.
00:11:13.000Within the last few days, and this is a long statement, he says, within the last few days, there have been a number of criticisms made against my campaign organization.
00:11:19.000Party leaders in Nevada, for example, claim that the Sanders campaign has a quote-unquote penchant for violence.
00:11:31.000You remember, Sanders supporters showed up at the Donald Trump rally in Chicago and shut that thing down because they were getting violent outside the campaign rally.
00:11:39.000And then he complains about violence against Bernie Sanders supporters in Nevada.
00:11:43.000He says, he says, if the Democratic Party is to be successful in November, it is imperative that all state parties treat our campaign supporters with fairness and respect that they have earned.
00:11:53.000And then he talks about all the terrible things that happened in Nevada.
00:11:57.000So he's basically saying, OK, you know, they're doing what they're doing.
00:12:32.000The other option for the Democratic Party, which I see as a very sad and tragic option, is to choose to maintain its status quo structure, remain dependent on big money campaign contributions, and be a party with limited participation and limited energy.
00:13:03.000And a party which, incredibly, is allowing a right-wing extremist Republican Party to capture the votes of a majority of working people in this country.
00:13:18.000So, there he is, making the claim that the Democratic Party is broken.
00:13:23.000Bernie and Hillary don't really disagree on anything.
00:14:02.000The only difference is one of approach.
00:14:04.000But it's getting bad anyway because people are so frustrated and people feel like they've been screwed even by people like Hillary Clinton because she has the stink of money on her.
00:15:58.000I think she's one of the villainesses in Titanic.
00:16:00.000So there she is, saying that she saw this look on Bernie Sanders' face, this angelic look on Bernie Sanders' face, and that's how she joined up.
00:16:09.000The new politics is, I saw the power emanating from Donald Trump.
00:16:13.000I saw the glory emanating from Bernie Sanders, and they will lead us to the promised land.
00:16:17.000All these people will magically, magically lead us to the promised land.
00:16:21.000When you believe in that sort of leadership, it's not a long leap from there to, we're just going to push people around in the name of our God-King, whoever that God-King is.
00:16:32.000So the conflict is now breaking out in the Democratic Party.
00:16:34.000Bernie Sanders, his campaign manager, was on MSNBC.
00:16:38.000He said that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the head of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee,
00:16:47.000Bernie Sanders made it very clear before the convention that he wanted people to act civilly.
00:16:52.000He made it clear after the convention that he condemned any threats that went on.
00:16:56.000You know, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, I mean, it's been pretty clear, Steve, almost from the get-go, that she has been working against Bernie Sanders.
00:17:09.000You know, whether it's that debate schedule that we had, that very confined debate schedule that we had with debates scheduled on weekends where no one was going to be watching, whether it was this joint fundraising agreement that they have with the Hillary Clinton campaign which is taking money out of state parties.
00:17:25.000You know, whether it's these standing committees where they've appointed really hostile Hillary Clinton partisans to head these committees at the convention.
00:17:35.000Debbie Wasserman Schultz has really been a divider and not really provided the kind of leadership that the Democratic Party needs going forward.
00:17:42.000For personal reasons, when you say she's doing this for personal reasons, what do you mean?
00:17:46.000Well, I just think if you talk to other high-ranking Democrats on the Democratic National Committee, which I do with some frequency, I would say that there is not unanimity in terms of her tactics and her responses throughout this campaign.
00:17:58.000I mean, if you think back to that issue where they shut off Senator Sanders' access to his data shortly before the Iowa caucuses, I mean, that was a unilateral action taken on her part.
00:18:08.000Believe me, there was tremendous pressure inside the party structure for her to relent.
00:18:12.000So you think she's greasing the skids for Hillary Clinton?
00:18:15.000No, I don't really know what her motivation is, but it's been clear there's a pattern of conduct from the beginning of this campaign that has been hostile to Bernie Sanders.
00:18:24.000Okay, so this is how the Bernie Sanders people feel.
00:18:27.000And there's tremendous anger out there.
00:18:28.000Tremendous anger at a party establishment that feels like it's not listening to the voice of the young people who are really, really angry at capitalism and really angry at crony capitalism.
00:18:37.000What's amazing about all of this, folks, is that all of the corruption, all of the failures of government, they're leading people toward more government.
00:18:43.000The solution is we need somebody bigger, we need somebody stronger to take over the government.
00:19:36.000This is a very close race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
00:19:39.000Imagine how much closer it would be if we hadn't all been told from the outset that five to six hundred Hillary superdelegates were already on board.
00:19:48.000Imagine if those superdelegates just didn't exist.
00:19:50.000Do you think that would have changed things at all?
00:19:52.000That as Bernie started to build momentum, the Hillary inevitability train would have slowed?
00:19:57.000But because the Democratic Party put its finger on the scale with these superdelegates who are unelected and are selected top-down, that meant that Bernie had a really difficult time overcoming that.
00:20:06.000And Debbie Wasserman Schultz is still refusing to recognize the anger.
00:20:09.000They have to maintain this blindness because the anger is really against them.
00:20:13.000Here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz blaming Bernie Sanders for what happened at the Nevada Convention.
00:20:18.000This is unacceptable behavior, and the Sanders campaign and Senator Sanders himself should not only outright condemn that specific conduct, but they also need to take steps to...
00:20:31.000And make sure that their supporters understand that the most important and correct way to respond to any frustration they have over process is to be civil and orderly, not respond with violence and intimidation.
00:20:44.000And that needs to be unequivocally condemned.
00:20:46.000And unfortunately, it has not been unequivocally condemned.
00:20:50.000Have you reached out directly to Bernie Sanders to talk to him about your concerns?
00:20:57.000We have communicated through our senior staff and I sent a statement and Senator Reid and others have spoken directly with Senator Sanders.
00:21:10.000I think it should be pretty clear to anybody that violence and intimidation is never acceptable under any circumstances and it should be condemned and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
00:21:22.000You're the leader of the Democratic Party.
00:21:24.000Why not make a phone call to Senator Sanders and tell him exactly what you just told us?
00:21:29.000You know, after I heard that Senator Reid, that Leader Reid had had a conversation with Senator Sanders and he publicly announced that he felt that Senator Sanders was going to respond appropriately and issue a statement, I was comfortable that one conversation was enough.
00:21:48.000Unfortunately, the Senator's response was anything but acceptable.
00:22:35.000Alison Lundrigan Grimes, who was a Senate candidate in Kentucky,
00:22:39.000She is back and now she is saying that there is no revolution happening in Kentucky, which was a state where they had a primary yesterday.
00:22:47.000They are about making sure that we are enforcing the laws that are on the books and that's what Secretary Clinton has put forth.
00:22:55.000What we're seeing tonight is that Kentuckians are setting forth, there's no revolution that's occurring for Senator Sanders here in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
00:23:04.000He didn't get the big night that he needed and importantly Secretary Clinton came here to the Commonwealth to continue to talk about her plan and importantly making sure that she sets forth a brighter future for all Kentuckians and for all Americans.
00:24:24.000I personally believe that Debbie Wasserman Schultz should learn some lessons from Reince Priebus about being an impartial chair who brings people together and soothes things down rather than stirs it up.
00:24:38.000But I want to separate that from... Wait, hold on one second.
00:24:41.000You've got to be kidding from Hillary.
00:24:55.000Reince Priebus, you know, John Kasich has been on TV all week complaining that Reince Priebus called the election for Donald Trump, you know, weeks before he got close to the delegate count.
00:25:06.000The DNC has been scrupulously objective and stayed out of this for a long time.
00:25:13.000This trashing of the DNC leadership is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.
00:25:19.000Just because Bernie Sanders is losing, all he's doing is whining about the process.
00:25:57.000politely get in line for the Democratic Party.
00:26:01.000I sure as hell wouldn't if the party I was a member of treated me like this, rigged the debate process, rigged Iowa, rigged the entire thing going forward.
00:26:14.000If the Republican Party, I'd say go straight to hell I'm running as an independent.
00:26:20.000I would go out there, because I would be betraying my people
00:26:25.000All of those people that gave him $25, $26, $27 to just play nice with the Democratic Party and fold yourself into a convention at the end when the Democratic Party doesn't respect them.
00:26:39.000Okay, so, you know, this is now, again, the reason that I'm emphasizing this is because the entire political system is now breaking down.
00:26:47.000The entire political system on both sides of the political aisle is now breaking down.
00:26:51.000People in the Democratic Party don't even know what they're angry at.
00:26:53.000They don't even know what they're angry at.
00:26:56.000Half of them don't know what they're angry at.
00:26:58.000My impression, and this is the impression of a lot of people, is that people were angry at the Republican establishment because they didn't like them making deals with Barack Obama and cutting bad deals with Barack Obama that re-enshrined big government.
00:27:09.000And so, it turned out that was false because we just made the nominee somebody who wants bigger government and who wants to cut more deals with Democrats.
00:27:41.000After enough years of feeling like the political structure has screwed people, people are now feeling...
00:27:47.000Completely disenchanted with everyone in the political process.
00:27:49.000It's why you take polls of Congress, and the polls show 15% approval rating for Congress, even though people keep electing the same Congress people.
00:27:56.000And it shows low approval ratings for the president, no matter who the president is, and they'll keep re-electing the same president.
00:28:38.000They're moving toward total regulation.
00:28:40.000They're moving toward a sexual utopia in which you get to choose not just your sexual orientation, but whether you're a man or a woman or something in between.
00:28:52.000The answer is that when you get what you want, and it turns out not to be what you want, you just get mad.
00:28:58.000When you give government all this power to fix your life, and then government doesn't fix your life, your life is exactly the same as it ever was, if not a little bit worse, because now you've got higher taxes and more regulations.
00:29:09.000What you end up with is this tremendous sense of frustration, and you find a figure to channel that frustration into, and then everybody who's not for that figure is against that figure, and those are the enemies.
00:29:21.000Because people don't think through issues seriously.
00:29:24.000Ask Bernie Sanders supporters what are their chief issues, and they'll say things like income inequality.
00:29:28.000Ask Hillary people what their chief issues are, and they'll say income inequality.
00:29:32.000But the Sanders supporters hate the Hillary supporters.
00:29:35.000If you ask the Hillary supporters, what's your big problem with Bernie Sanders, they'll say he's unrealistic.
00:29:39.000Ask the Sanders supporters what their big problem is with Hillary Clinton, they'll say that she's corrupt.
00:29:43.000But these same people don't seem to care that what Bernie Sanders wants is a government of people who are selected, not elected, to figure out how to divvy up the dollars.
00:30:03.000When you have this much anger floating around out there, when you've put all your faith, not in yourself, not in your family, not in a basic principle of freedom, not in God, not in your church, not in your community, when you put all your faith in these people who are far away to solve all your problems, and then that doesn't happen.
00:30:20.000Your solution, unfortunately, tends not to be, OK, give me the power back.
00:30:38.000And if we hand power to him, everything will be OK.
00:30:40.000But anyone who opposes that person is a bad guy.
00:30:44.000See, this is one of the great tragedies, I think, of the way that we're taught history in the United States and all over the world, is that we're taught history as though it's a series of almost random events, things that happen that could never happen here.
00:30:57.000When bad things happen, it's because monsters did it.
00:31:00.000When good things happen, it's because saints did it.
00:31:02.000We have a tendency as human beings to tell ourselves pretty bedtime stories about monsters and gods and heroes and villains.
00:31:08.000And the truth is most people are just kind of people.
00:31:52.000And then that proceeds to be the Davidic dynasty, which, by the way, does end in tragedy and bloodshed and civil war.
00:31:59.000You know, we can make all we want as Jews, we make a big deal out of the Davidic dynasty, but the truth is that was not originally conceived in the Bible.
00:32:05.000And the other truth is that it didn't end particularly well.
00:32:12.000But when you get rid of God, when you get rid... You sort of have to believe that there is a higher justice in the universe to believe in your own capacity for individual freedom.
00:32:20.000If you believe that all of life is just chaotic, that you're walking around in sort of a Hobbesian universe where things happen to you randomly, you can't control them, you look for a way to control events.
00:32:30.000Everybody looks for a way to control events.
00:32:32.000I heard Andrew Klaven say on his show that the reason people read mystery novels and watch mystery movies and suspense films and horror films is because they don't want that in real life.
00:32:59.000If you don't believe in God, if you believe that there's just a universe that's out to get you, and things happen randomly, a bunch of people bounce off each other, then you look for a way to control events.
00:33:15.000Because no matter who wins, on any side of this, that person, that party, that group of people, they want to consolidate power behind somebody that they worship.
00:33:24.000Behind somebody- We have entered the age of idolatry.
00:33:26.000We're no longer in a godly American age.
00:33:49.000So it's, it's, you know, this is all very scary stuff.
00:33:52.000It should be, it's fun to laugh at the Democratic Party.
00:33:55.000Which has no control over itself, and you've got a 69-year-old corrupt harridan running against a 73-year-old nutjob socialist who's never held an actual job.
00:34:04.000But, in the end, this is really a consolidation about power, and the revolution is eating its own.
00:34:11.000And it's just going to move further and further to the left.
00:34:13.000Trump and his wing of the party are going to move further and further to the tyrannical side of the right, and so we just get to elect our dictator every four years, which is scary stuff.
00:34:22.000Speaking of which, Donald Trump had an interview with Megyn Kelly last night.
00:35:01.000She actually says this, to which the alt-right and Milo Yiannopoulos go, oh, dang it.
00:35:07.000Okay, so there's some alt-right people who will be upset that he's not in fact Hitler, or at least she says he's not.
00:35:13.000Also, Ivanka Trump says her father doesn't grope people.
00:35:16.000So we now have an election between a man whose daughter has to assure us that he doesn't grow people, and a woman whose husband grows people.
00:36:17.000They just asked you not to say that she's bleeding from her wherever.
00:36:20.000But this is the routine that Trump plays, our orange god king.
00:36:24.000He says that he has a right to be upset about all of this.
00:36:28.000Trump also said to Megyn Kelly that the first debate was pretty amazing.
00:36:30.000That's when he realized he could be president of the United States.
00:36:34.000Not to bring up an unpleasant debate, but, you know, that first debate was pretty amazing, and 24 million people watching it, a record on cable television.
00:36:43.000I think that first debate meant something, because I felt very, very comfortable with the subject, and I felt very comfortable with the people I was competing against.
00:36:53.000He says he was he was comfortable and of course he was comfortable because the truth is that it's hard to watch all of this it's hard to watch and he had a fight with Megyn Kelly for nine months and now they're sitting together and in a Fox special and it's hard not to watch Trump operate and realize that he's part of a whole media complex that is that is really very much
00:37:13.000As I said earlier, Donald Trump wants to be Hugo Chavez.
00:37:15.000Hugo Chavez used to do a routine, where he would actually set up a desk in the middle of a plaza, like a piazza.
00:37:22.000There's a full TV channel just dedicated to Hugo Chavez.
00:37:25.000And he would set up a desk in the middle of a plaza, and then he would set up a line of people asking him requests from the king, basically.
00:37:32.000And they would come and they would ask him requests.
00:37:35.000And he would stand up and he'd pound the table and he'd say to a minister, Oh, go get this woman her car!
00:37:40.000And he'd say, go get this man his medicine!
00:37:42.000And he was just demonstrating to the entire population that he really cared and cared deeply.
00:37:47.000This is what you can expect from Donald Trump, right?
00:37:49.000This is how Trump is going to operate, is this sort of media ownership.
00:37:53.000The touchy-feely stuff for Trump doesn't come off as sincere to me, but it's effective for a certain group of people.
00:37:59.000Kelly did go after Trump a little bit.
00:38:01.000She said to him, can you go four years without threatening to sue anybody?
00:38:04.000Because right now you can't go basically four minutes without threatening to do it.
00:38:07.000You have threatened to sue many people in the course of the campaign, but of course if you wind up president...
00:38:13.000You're not going to be able to do that either.
00:38:15.000Can you go four years without threatening to sue anybody?
00:38:17.000Well, what China's done to us is, well, maybe you do the world.
00:38:20.000You know, you do have methods of suing countries.
00:39:36.000Not as much as I want people to believe.
00:39:38.000Okay, so he didn't really boycott Fox.
00:39:40.000By the way, he never boycotted them even with appearances.
00:39:42.000He continued to appear on Sean Hannity's show about every 30 seconds.
00:39:45.000And he'd literally hang up, and then Sean would call him back, and then he'd pick up the phone, and they'd have a conversation, and then it would be like one of those conversations where, say, you hang up first.
00:40:13.000It's about use of very negative power.
00:40:15.000One thing I do want to note, Megyn Kelly asked him about his legions of online supporters who have been vile to her and to a lot of other people, and here was Donald Trump's answer about this.
00:40:25.000This is about when Trump comes after you.
00:40:29.000The truth is, when Trump comes after you, it's not just Trump.
00:41:00.000So I want to make a quick detour here to say you should go check out my piece at National Review today about the anti-Semitism among the Trump supporters.
00:41:07.000Already the Trump supporters are up in arms, particularly Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit.
00:41:11.000He's saying that it's just terrible that I'd write about anti-Semitism in the Trump movement.
00:41:17.000Apparently he's just discovered that this sort of thing actually exists.
00:41:24.000I mean, I didn't show you the tweets that I received after the birth of my child, but yes, it definitely, definitely exists, and Trump breeds it, and Trump loves it, and Trump pushes it forward because it helps him.
00:41:34.000That doesn't mean Trump's an anti-Semite.
00:41:35.000It means that he is a politician of convenience.
00:41:38.000If we haven't reached the rock bottom of our politics, I shudder to think what comes after all this.
00:41:55.000Let's do some things that I like and then some things that I hate.
00:41:57.000So first thing, thing that I like, here is... I've said before I'm a big Christopher Nolan fan.
00:42:03.000One of his movies that is a little bit lesser known, it did well at the box office but didn't blow out the box office, is a movie called The Prestige with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale.
00:43:40.000Apparently there was a drone that was flying over a Middle Ages reenactment, and things went wrong for the drone when somebody decided to go Middle Ages on its ass.
00:44:17.000First of all, Hillary Clinton is the least entertaining human being on planet Earth.
00:44:21.000Hillary has now done an impression of Donald Trump.
00:44:24.000I don't do a good impression of Donald Trump, and I don't really attempt to do one because I know my impression of Donald Trump is terrible.
00:44:30.000Hillary Clinton's impression of Donald Trump is legitimately the worst impression of anyone I have ever heard.
00:44:36.000Again, I don't know where she gets these outfits, but this is again in her Baskin-Robbins pink outfit, trying to do an impression of Donald Trump.
00:44:53.000I know how to do it, but I'm not telling you what it is I'm going to do.
00:45:01.000I'm going to say, here's what we're going to do, here's what we're going to do, here's when to change the tax code, here's how we're going to incentivize people to do it.
00:45:07.000Now, some people might say, oh, you know, all anybody wants to hear is just, I'm going to do it, but I'm not telling you what I'm going to do.
00:47:20.000Donald Trump, I'm sure, will be back for more news tomorrow.
00:47:23.000But remember, the collapse is happening on all sides.
00:47:26.000It isn't quite as bright a world as the Democrats like to think.
00:47:29.000It's not that one side is collapsing and the other side is doing just fine.
00:47:31.000We are all collapsing toward Venezuela.
00:47:33.000We're all moving down the road toward Venezuela.
00:47:36.000Because people apparently want a strong man and they want a bigger government.
00:47:39.000And so long as those two things are true, so long as they throw over God and family in favor of a bigger government that allows them to put their genitalia where they want and gives them basic goods and services until the money runs out, as it is in Venezuela, as long as that's what people want, they're going to end up with bad leadership across the board.
