Every Democrat in the world declares for 2020. Anti-Semites pay tribute to the Holocaust, and Twitter decides that maybe we should tell journalists who are unemployed to learn to code. Ben Shapiro explains why Kamala Harris is the only Democratic presidential candidate who actually has a chance of beating Hillary Clinton in 2020. He also explains why she's running for president because she's like Hillary Clinton, except even more intersectional. And he explains why the media loves her and why they think she's going to beat Hillary Clinton because she has a lot in common with Hillary Clinton except that she's black and she's a woman and that makes her a better candidate than any other Democratic candidate in the 2020 Democratic primary field, and why she should win the primary because of her intersectionality and her ability to appeal to the far-left base in a way that Hillary Clinton did not.

00:01:35.000Oh, I know everyone in California was waiting for it, just so excited about our garbage Attorney General Kamala Harris, our garbage Senator Kamala Harris, deciding that she was going to run for President of the United States.
00:01:47.000It was all super exciting because she's basically like Hillary Clinton, except even more intersectional.
00:01:54.000So she gave her opening speech, her I'm going to run for president speech, based on zero actual accomplishments in office.
00:02:01.000She's been senator for about five minutes.
00:02:03.000So she's following the Barack Obama path to glory.
00:02:06.000Kamala Harris's career as a senator has been, shall we say, Testy.
00:02:11.000She spent most of the Kavanaugh hearings suggesting that religious people were terrible and also that Brett Kavanaugh is a gang rapist.
00:02:17.000That seems like a great platform to run on a unifying, a unifying theme.
00:02:21.000So Kamala Harris announced yesterday in Oakland, number one, important to note, she drew a big crowd in Oakland.
00:02:27.000That's not that hard to do for people like Kamala Harris.
00:02:29.000And I'm not talking about her race, I'm talking about the fact that if you are a lefty in Oakland, Donald Trump won 5% of the vote in Oakland in 2016.
00:02:41.000For people who don't remember the Oakland mayor, Libby Schaaf, Libby Schaaf is such a leftist, she's such a crazy leftist, that she actually probably obstructed justice when she informed illegal immigrants in her own city of an upcoming ICE raid.
00:02:54.000In February, Schaff issued a public warning for the immigrant communities in her city that U.S.
00:02:59.000Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents in San Francisco were going to be engaging in raids of illegal immigrant criminals.
00:03:05.000So she warned criminals, and they all escaped.
00:03:08.000She was the person who decided to introduce Kamala Harris.
00:03:31.000A heavy dose of the Democratic base is black.
00:03:34.000About 30% of the Democratic primary base in 2008 was black.
00:03:37.000That's what allowed Barack Obama to defeat Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that I believe in the end she won more popular votes in the primaries than he did.
00:03:44.000While Kamala Harris is going to have I think some of those same advantages because she is the only black candidate who has yet declared running for president.
00:03:53.000She also has the advantage of tremendous media coverage.
00:03:55.000The media love her, and the media love her specifically because they think that she is Obama part two.
00:04:00.000We had Obama part one with Obama, and now we're gonna get Obama part two with Kamala Harris.
00:04:04.000She's more attractive than Hillary Clinton, just physically attractive than Hillary Clinton, And so that's going to help her out.
00:04:11.000Barack Obama in 2013 labeled her, what was it, the hottest attorney general in the country?
00:04:16.000He was not labeled a sexist for that, by the way, which is fascinating.
00:04:19.000And more than that, Kamala Harris touches all the various aspects of the Democratic base that need to be touched.
00:04:25.000So she's got a foot in sort of the moderate camp because she's not as wild and crazy and out there as Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, at least overtly.
00:04:34.000She touches on the intersectional camp.
00:04:37.000She touches a little bit on the millennial camp, not as much as people like Beto O'Rourke or maybe even Bernie.
00:04:42.000But she's probably the most well-rounded Democratic candidate just in terms of who she can reach out and touch.
00:04:48.000She also has an inherent advantage because of her race.
00:04:51.000So if she wants to reach out to black folks, she does not actually need to play the pandering game.
00:04:56.000Now what you'll see from all the other Democratic candidates who have declared today is that they are indeed playing a pandering game.
00:05:02.000Where they do this routine where they go out there and they talk about racism a lot.
00:05:05.000And the problem for them is that by doing that, what they actually do is they push people away during a general election.
00:05:12.000Kamala Harris, because she is who she is, doesn't have to talk about racial polarization all that much.
00:05:16.000People sort of assume that she understands the issue because of her race.
00:05:19.000And so that gives her the ability to just simply go over the top.
00:05:24.000Not talk about the racial issue as much.
00:05:26.000Barack Obama did much the same thing in 2008.
00:05:28.000Alright, so she kicked off her presidential campaign with about apparently 20,000 people showing up in Oakland, and she did it speaking against City Hall.
00:05:37.000So I'm not even sure how she got a license to do that, but she did it against City Hall, so it looked like a presidential address.
00:05:42.000And she quoted Bobby Kennedy, because we will never escape the baby boomers.
00:05:47.000She said, these are not ordinary times, and this will not be an ordinary election.
00:05:50.000She then threw out a bunch of platitudes, although she dropped a few kind of new twists.
00:05:57.000Like, for example, she talked about transphobia, which I'm sure is going to be a massive winner across the country in a general election.
00:06:03.000She also stressed her experience prosecuting sex crimes and fighting transnational gangs.
00:06:07.000Now, the funny part about this is that she was a terrible attorney general.
00:06:10.000She was such a bad Attorney General that she was roundly criticized by law enforcement for her general failures to defend law enforcement.
00:06:18.000In fact, there was one particular case where illegal immigrants On the left, there are a lot of people who criticize Kamala Harris because they feel that she was too harsh.
00:06:28.000They feel that she was too willing to put people in jail, particularly for drug crimes.
00:06:32.000and that led a lot of law enforcement officials to come after her and criticize her for good reason.
00:06:38.000On the left, there are a lot of people who criticize Kamala Harris because they feel that she was too harsh.
00:06:42.000They feel that she was too willing to put people in jail, particularly for drug crimes.
00:06:46.000In any case, here was Kamala Harris announcing her run yesterday in Oakland.
00:06:50.000We are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question.
00:07:22.000So I mean, that's some pretty boring stuff right there.
00:07:24.000She's not an inspiring speaker by any stretch of the imagination.
00:07:26.000She's pretty charisma-free, but that's not going to hurt her all that much, because again, we're going to get the media's favorite thing, which is she's the first.
00:07:35.000So Barack Obama was the first black president, and we're going to have the first female black president.
00:07:39.000And then in eight years, we will have the first female black little person of Native American heritage Who has transgender as president.
00:07:47.000It'll be very exciting when that happens.
00:07:49.000Then, Harris, who is a radical leftist, she says, I'm running to be president of the people.
00:07:54.000She's running to be president of Democrats.
00:07:55.000Again, this is a lady who has insulted Catholics, suggested that Catholics don't belong on federal courts.
00:08:01.000This is a lady who has suggested that Brett Kavanaugh was a gang rapist.
00:08:04.000This is a woman who was so bad at representing the people of California that when the people of California voted in favor of traditional marriage, and then there was a lawsuit, I'm running for president because I love my country.
00:08:18.000It went to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the basis of Kamala Harris alone deciding that she was not going to stand up for the vote of the Californian people.
00:08:27.000They decided they weren't even going to take up the case and they would strike down Proposition 8.
00:08:30.000But here she is pretending to be a uniter rather than a divider.
00:08:33.000I'm running for president because I love my country.
00:09:08.000What we need instead is the sanctuary city policy that she herself supports.
00:09:12.000Black people meant fighting transnational gangs who traffic in drugs and guns and human beings.
00:09:19.000And I saw their sophistication, their persistence, and their ruthlessness.
00:09:24.000And folks, on the subject of transnational gangs, let's be perfectly clear.
00:09:30.000The president's medieval vanity project is not going to stop them.
00:09:36.000Okay, you know what probably won't stop them either, by the way, is her sanctuary city policy.
00:09:40.000Again, the person who introduced her here was Libby Schaaf, the Oakland mayor, who legitimately warned criminal gang members that ICE was going to come raid the city.
00:09:48.000So if you feel safe with Kamala Harris, let me tell you, as a resident of California, crime rates rose under Kamala Harris when she was Attorney General out here.
00:09:55.000Okay, the crime was not great under her.
00:10:00.000She's going to be touted by the media anyway.
00:10:01.000And why does she have such a bad relationship with law enforcement?
00:10:04.000Because she, like Barack Obama, like much of the Democratic Party, spends an awful lot of time suggesting that the police are basically racist.
00:10:10.000I'm running to fight for an America where no mother or father has to teach their young son that people may stop him, arrest him, chase him, or kill him because of his race.
00:10:30.000Okay, this is such a slander against law enforcement.
00:10:32.000It's such a slander against law enforcement that law enforcement officials are running around shooting black people because of their race.
00:10:38.000There is no statistical evidence to support that whatsoever, that there is a wild racial discrimination problem in police departments across the country that results in police officers shooting black people simply because of their race.
00:10:49.000It's a myth that was pushed by the Obama administration.
00:10:53.000By every statistic I have ever seen, this is simply not true.
00:10:56.000Okay, particularly when you're talking about people being shot.
00:10:58.000If you want to make the case that police treat black folks disproportionately in terms of roughing them up during arrests, there's some evidence to back that up.
00:11:08.000There was a Harvard study by Roland Fryer that suggested that maybe that was the case.
00:11:11.000But when it comes to the idea that police are disproportionately overall racist and are going after black folks because of race, again, no evidence of this.
00:11:18.000But look, she's a radical and the media love this.
00:11:21.000She does have a pretty big problem with her resume, and I'm going to explain this in just one second.
00:11:25.000But first, let's talk about birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Days.
00:11:29.000These things are just around the corner.
00:11:31.000So when you are looking for the biggest and best quality roses out there, you need to talk to my friends at 1-800-Flowers.com.
00:11:36.000Right now, you can get 18 red roses for $29.99 or upgrade to 24 red roses for $10 more.
00:11:42.000It's a fantastic offer from 1-800-Flowers.
00:11:44.000I've been using 1-800-Flowers for years.
00:11:46.000I mean, every time I'm on the road, I send my wife flowers because that's just the kind of husband I am.
00:11:50.000But you can also be a great husband, be a great partner.
00:11:54.00018 Red Roses for $29.99 or upgrade to 24 Red Roses for $10 more.
00:12:49.000She's utterly unqualified for this office.
00:12:51.000Again, she was not a good attorney general of the state of California.
00:12:54.000She's a terrible senator from the state of California.
00:12:56.000And the way she got started, if she had gotten started, if any Republican woman had gotten started in politics the way Kamala Harris got started in politics, she would be a laughingstock.
00:13:05.000Off the bat, she would be a laughingstock.
00:13:09.000So for folks who don't know California politics, Willie Brown is the former leader of basically the Democratic caucus across the state of California, a very powerful man in California politics.
00:13:19.000Well, Willie Brown has been married for many, many years.
00:13:22.000And there's one problem with that, which is that he has also dated half of the women in California while he was married.
00:14:27.000I've been peppered with calls from the national media about my relationship with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president.
00:15:29.000He says the difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I so much as jaywalked while she was DA.
00:15:36.000Right, because she has to say that, because if she doesn't say that, then it looks like open corruption.
00:15:50.000If you mention this story, it's... Okay, so the media are going to say that Willie Brown did something terrible by mentioning this.
00:15:56.000Except for the fact that, again, if any Republican ever had done anything like this, they would be a laughingstock.
00:16:01.000Let's say that... Let's say, for example, That Sarah Palin, when she was selected for vice president, it had come out that she dated George H.W.
00:16:09.000Bush while he was married to Barbara, and that he made sure that she got her start in Alaska politics.
00:16:14.000You think that might have been a bit of an issue for her for her VP run?
00:16:20.000If it turned out that Nikki Haley, for example, had gotten into politics by dating a man twice her age who then gave her political favors, you might think that'd be used as a club by the media.
00:16:30.000Unless you think that this is a sexist thing, it is not.
00:16:32.000You know how many times I have mocked John Kerry?
00:16:35.000John Kerry, former 2004 candidate and Secretary of State.
00:16:39.000I've mocked him one million times for having married Teresa.
00:16:42.000He married one rich woman and then divorced her and then married another rich woman and then lived off her fortune.
00:16:48.000It's always seen, and it should be seen, as a bad thing in American politics to marry for political purposes.
00:16:54.000This was the rip on Hillary Clinton, too, by the way, is that she lived off her husband's name and lived off of his coattails so that she could then run for senator and president and be secretary of state.
00:17:05.000Kamala Harris is not a feminist icon if she was dating Willie Brown so she could get appointed to a bunch of positions while he was married, by the way.
00:17:12.000I know that we gloss over this in American life now.
00:17:15.000And on both sides, in both political parties, we have ignored the idea that adultery is bad.
00:17:19.000I know that Republicans now think, oh, well, you know, it happens because of President Trump.
00:17:23.000And I know that Democrats Do they have been doing this routine for literally decades that since the era of JFK, whatever, so they commit adultery.
00:17:31.000It's kind of bad when you are the other woman to a married man who is then providing you with giveaway jobs in the California state government.
00:18:04.000Yeah, that's a thing that happens all the time.
00:18:06.000And there are lots of 60-year-old men.
00:18:08.000You know how many of them who are, you know, kind of middle-class schlubs, who aren't powerful men in politics, are getting 30-year-old up-and-coming law student girlfriends?
00:18:24.000Now, Elizabeth Warren is going to campaign as an open communist.
00:18:27.000I'm old enough to remember when Elizabeth Warren was writing books like The Two-Income Trap, all about how the middle class in the United States was suffering And how school vouchers, for example, could be a solution for some of these families.
00:18:40.000Well, now she's decided to steal Bernie Sanders' audience by going overtly commie.
00:18:44.000And the New York Times is praising her for it.
00:18:45.000So here's what she tweeted out over the weekend, did Elizabeth Warren.
00:18:49.000This billionaire NFL owner just paid $100 million for a superyacht with its own IMAX theater.
00:18:54.000I'm pretty sure he can pay my new ultra-millionaire tax to help the millions of yachtless Americans struggling with student loan debt.
00:19:01.000There's a reference to Dan Snyder, who's the owner of the Redskins.
00:19:04.000Well, Elizabeth Warren might have a problem with the owner of the Redskins.
00:19:07.000In any case, I do love the overt communism of this is pretty astonishing.
00:19:12.000So, is there any allegation that Dan Snyder did not pay his taxes?
00:19:31.000You know how many people made that yacht?
00:19:33.000If it costs $100 million, I thought you guys were in favor of spending.
00:19:36.000I thought you liked spending over saving.
00:19:38.000So, shouldn't you be in favor of him spending $100 million on a yacht, as opposed to simply putting it into his bank account?
00:19:45.000But I guess that if you buy something that is excessively expensive, then Elizabeth Warren will come after you.
00:19:50.000By the way, Elizabeth Warren is worth something like 15 to 18 million dollars herself, so she can start giving away her cash anytime she damn well pleases.
00:19:57.000What's hilarious to me is the way that the media treat all of these candidates.
00:20:01.000So, they'll treat Kamala Harris with kid gloves even though, again, a married man is openly relating in print how he dated her and then corruptly gave her jobs.
00:20:10.000Elizabeth Warren is one of the more charmless candidates in the 2020 race.
00:20:14.000And there's a piece in The New York Times called Elizabeth Warren's 2020 strategy stands out by nerding out.
00:20:22.000When's the last time you heard a Republican referred to as a nerd by the New York Times?
00:20:27.000Like, maybe they'll do it every so often with somebody like Ben Sasse or something because they have a book review, but when is the last time you heard an actual political candidate for office, like Ted Cruz, called a nerd by the New York Times?
00:20:37.000Usually, they are considered charmless manipulators.
00:21:34.000But the audience of nearly 1,000 people was engrossed as Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat and presidential hopeful, did what she does best.
00:21:44.000Well, I ain't just carry around a drool bucket, people.
00:21:47.000After talking up gun control laws and criminal justice reform on a recent South Carolina campaign swing, Ms.
00:21:52.000Warren dug into the nitty-gritty of free market regulation and a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal agency she helped create, which has returned more than $12 billion to people in refunds and canceled debts.
00:22:11.000It's like if you buy a ticket to a Broadway production these days, you will never go to a Broadway production that does not receive a standing ovation at the end.
00:22:19.000Because if you drop a hundred bucks on a ticket, you want to make yourself feel that you actually did it for something worthwhile, so you give a standing ovation.
00:22:25.000If you drive out to see Elizabeth Warren on a school night, you gotta give her a standing O at the end so you feel like you did something useful with your time.
00:22:32.000Almost one month into her presidential campaign, says the New York Times, Ms.
00:22:36.000Warren's passion for policy minutiae has become her way of standing out in an increasingly crowded Democratic field, establishing herself as a wonk's wonk whose expansive ideas and detail-oriented speaking style are her bid for a good first impression on voters.
00:22:55.000I'm gonna read you some more of this, and we'll get into the other Democrats who have jumped into the race, legitimately everyone on Earth.
00:23:01.000We'll get to Howard Schultz, too, in just a second.

00:24:51.000And they say that Kamala Harris focuses on sweeping themes of unity and change, that Ms.
00:24:56.000Warren is making a personal and political wager that audiences care more about policy savvy than captivating oration, which is her saying, basically, I'm incredibly boring, but let me just talk to you about my garbage tax ideas.
00:25:11.000So that is the way the New York Times is positioning Elizabeth Warren.
00:25:15.000And then there's Senator Bernie Sanders.
00:25:17.000So he is also considering running for president now.
00:25:20.000He says that he is set to announce his 2020 presidential run.
00:25:24.000Two sources with direct knowledge of his plans told Yahoo News that Sanders, an independent and self-described democratic socialist, plans to announce his presidential bid imminently.
00:25:31.000In the latest polls, by the way, The most recent poll that I saw, I believe it was a Politico poll, and what it showed was Biden up front with 26, Bernie with like 16, Kamala Harris with 9, everybody else with 5.
00:25:43.000So, Sanders is still a presence in the race.
00:25:46.000He's still charming to millennials for the same reason that old people at the old age home are sometimes charming to young people.
00:26:01.000So Sanders is is going to jump in as well.
00:26:06.000You could actually actually see a brokered convention.
00:26:08.000Honestly, like there's so many candidates right now that if the vote splits eight ways from Sunday and the superdelegates don't actually get to have an impact on the Democratic race this time.
00:26:16.000What you could see is 83 candidates all running and maybe two or three who are viable as a presidential candidate.
00:26:24.000Now, I don't think that's going to happen.
00:26:24.000I think that if you have to handicap the race right now, then you put Kamala Harris probably near the top again because she's the best-rounding candidate.
00:26:31.000And then maybe Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders after that.
00:26:51.000Joseph R. McBiden, the same guy who once said that all people who run 7-Elevens are Indian and who said that Mitt Romney wants to put black people back in chains.
00:27:54.000According to CNN White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny, he said on Sunday that Clinton told people as recently as this week she isn't closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020.
00:28:03.000According to Zeleny, I'm told by three people that as recently as this week she was telling people that, look, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, She talked to several people saying, look, I'm not closing the doors to this.
00:28:14.000It doesn't mean there's a campaign in waiting or a plan in the works.
00:28:16.000She said last October she would still like to be president.
00:28:19.000By the way, if she ran again against President Trump, I am not certain she doesn't win.
00:28:23.000Not because she is better at campaigning, but simply because the reason she lost last time is because people assumed she was going to win and she's deeply unlikable.
00:28:29.000Well, she's still deeply unlikable, but there are gonna be a lot of Hillary revenge voters out there.
00:29:37.000I don't care if you're Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Republican, bring me your ideas and I will be an independent person who will embrace those ideas.
00:29:48.000Okay, first of all, what I love is that Democrats have gone nuts over this.
00:29:52.000How many Democrats are actually gonna vote for Howard Schultz?
00:29:54.000The same number of Republicans who are gonna vote for Michael Bloomberg, okay?
00:31:51.000Daily Wire God King Jeremy Boring, me, Andrew Clavin, the ex-Gribble Michael Knowles, and Alicia Krauss will be here discussing all the important issues and, of course, answering your questions.
00:31:59.000Originally, we were going to do this as a State of the Union, Daily Wire backstage, and then Nancy Pelosi cancelled it, and so we're still doing it.
00:32:06.000We'll be here anyway tomorrow night, so you're going to want to be here with us, because if I have to suffer with these people, you should too.
00:32:10.000As always, only Daily Wire subscribers get to ask those questions, so make sure to subscribe today.
00:32:44.000So I want to talk for a second about Holocaust Remember in the States.
00:32:47.000So International Holocaust Remembrance Day is not Yom HaZikaron.
00:32:49.000Yom HaZikaron is a Holocaust Memorial Day.
00:32:52.000It's celebrated in Israel in early May, like May 7th.
00:32:56.000International Holocaust Remembrance Day is sort of celebrated, well commemorated, worldwide.
00:33:01.000And what's amazing about the commemorations for the Holocaust is how few people actually know jack squat about the Holocaust.
00:33:07.000There's a poll that showed that two-thirds of Americans, two-thirds, did not know anything about the Holocaust, particularly two-thirds of millennials don't know what Auschwitz was.
00:33:18.000I mean, that's just tremendous ignorance of history.
00:33:20.000According to a 2018 poll, two-thirds of American millennials surveyed in a recent poll cannot identify what Auschwitz is, according to a study released on Holocaust Remembrance Day that found that knowledge of the genocide that killed six million Jews during World War II is not robust among American adults.
00:33:35.00022% of Millennials said they had not heard of the Holocaust or are not sure whether they have heard of it.
00:33:43.000Only 41% of respondents and 66% of... Well, let's see.
00:33:48.00041% of respondents and 66 2-thirds of Millennials could not come up with a correct response identifying Auschwitz as a concentration camp or extermination camp.
00:33:57.000Which is, what I love the most about this is that millennials, who apparently know the least about the Holocaust of any generation in American history, are also the most likely to call people Nazis.
00:34:07.000So the same people who don't know a damn thing about the Holocaust or Auschwitz, they're the same people who will say that Trump is a Nazi, that I am a Nazi.
00:34:24.000The left is only interested, at least many members of the left, not all members of the left, many members of the hardcore radical left, So let's take, for example, Planned Parenthood.
00:34:31.000are not real fond of Jews, are very fond of using the Holocaust as a reference point in their political propaganda.
00:34:37.000So let's take, for example, Planned Parenthood.
00:34:40.000So Planned Parenthood, lest you forget, is an organization that slaughters some 300,000 unborn children every year.
00:34:45.000They are the closest thing to a murderous organization in the United States right now.
00:34:50.000And Planned Parenthood actually tweeted out this, right.
00:34:53.000On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the tremendous, immeasurable human cost of bigotry, and we reaffirm that there can be no place for antisemitism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or any form of hatred in our communities, our politics, and our country.
00:35:06.000This is very typical of the intersectional left.
00:35:08.000Instead of talking about the specific hatred of Jews, which is what Holocaust Memorial Day is about, or about the dehumanization of innocents for purposes of slaughtering them en masse, which might undercut Planned Parenthood's entire business plan.
00:35:20.000Instead, they sort of do this vague gloss on the Holocaust, where the Holocaust is just a bad thing that happened because of racism.
00:35:29.000That's the lesson that we take away from the Holocaust.
00:35:31.000Not that you cannot dehumanize your political opposition.
00:35:34.000Not that you should not dehumanize entire groups of people for purposes of murdering them.
00:35:37.000Not that you might want to think about anti-Semitism in its own context, as opposed to as a subset of a broader racist rubric.
00:35:46.000Instead, they just cite the Holocaust as a way to beat up on people who, for example, believe in biological sex or also believe that you shouldn't kill babies.
00:35:55.000This is how the Women's March can proclaim that it opposes bigotry, even while its leaders call for anti-Semitic boycotts against Israel from the podium at the Women's March.
00:36:03.000See, here's the thing about the Holocaust.
00:36:05.000The more specific you get about the Holocaust, the less likely you are to actually invoke it as an analog, as a basis of comparison.
00:36:14.000When folks in the pro-life movement talk about a Holocaust of the unborn, that's a very specific charge.
00:36:19.000The charge is that there are groups of people who are dehumanizing a specific subset of humanity for purposes of exterminating them.
00:36:26.000When people say, everybody I don't like is a Nazi, That's them taking the Holocaust and taking Nazism and then zooming out with the lens so far that the Holocaust and Nazism become meaningless.
00:36:40.000This is how you get people like Jeremy Corbyn, who's an open anti-Semite, tweeting this out.
00:36:43.000Jeremy Corbyn is the head of the Labour Party.
00:36:45.000He's so anti-Semitic that people inside his own party have had to run screaming from him.
00:36:49.000He tweeted out, In memory of the millions of Jewish people and others who perished in the Holocaust, let us never allow anti-Semitism or any other form of racism to disfigure our society.
00:36:59.000Jeremy Corbyn is an open anti-Semite who has backed Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:37:03.000He has worked with them to speak in the parliament.
00:37:05.000He's an ardent Israel hater who is associated with characters who actually repeat the medieval blood libel that Jews are using the blood of non-Jewish children for various purposes.
00:37:16.000He has worked with Holocaust deniers in the past and Jeremy Corbyn is tweeting that out.
00:37:19.000Because for people of the radical left, the Holocaust is only important so long as you can use it as a club against your political opponents.
00:37:26.000Same thing for Representative Ilhan Omar.
00:37:29.000Now you remember Ilhan Omar from such glorious things as tweeting out that Israel was hypnotizing the world and may Allah awaken everyone.
00:37:36.000Well, over the weekend she tweeted out an ADL, an ADL tweet.
00:37:41.000And it said right-wing extremists committed nearly every extremist murder in 2018.
00:37:45.000There's an older tweet from the ADL and also that report was deeply flawed.
00:37:51.000Okay, the report was deeply flawed not because right-wing extremists don't commit murder, but because the ADL's case that there was an increase in the number of murders in the United States is simply not true.
00:38:02.000Ilhan Omar tweeted out, today we remember the murder of 17 million people including 6 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis.
00:38:07.000First of all, necessary to To point out that there's a difference between people who are innocent who died during World War II and the Holocaust, which was the systemic targeting and killing of a specific group of humans.
00:38:19.000At best, 10 million people were killed in the Holocaust.
00:38:23.000Even that is upper end in terms of systemic targeting of particular groups.
00:38:26.000Six million people who were Jews were specifically targeted because they had the last name that ended in Stein or Berg.
00:38:32.000With the rise of anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi ideology, writes Ilhan Omar, It's more important than ever that we learn from the atrocities of the past and commit to fighting intolerance.
00:38:42.000Yes, I want to hear from the lady who has backed terrorists in the past against Jews and joins with people who want boycott of Israel to destroy the only Jewish country on planet Earth to talk about the Holocaust and to talk about anti-Semitism.
00:38:56.000It's amazing how many folks from the left are willing to use terminology they actively do not know anything about or know better than to use in order to push their political agenda.
00:39:08.000It truly is an astonishing thing and shows how cynical so many of these folks are.
00:39:13.000Ilhan Omar and Jeremy Corbyn paying attention to Planned Parenthood, pretending they care about the Holocaust.
00:39:21.000Okay, meanwhile, meanwhile, there's this amazing thing that's happening on Twitter, according to John Levine.
00:39:26.000Okay, John Levine is a media editor over at The Wrap, and he tweeted this out earlier.
00:39:29.000Now, to understand why this is hilarious and ridiculous, you have to understand what's happening.
00:39:33.000at any recently laid off journalist will be treated as abusive behavior and as a violation of twitter's terms of service and now to understand why this is hilarious and ridiculous you have to understand what's happening so buzzfeed recently laid off a couple of hundred journalists now i'm in the journalism business the opinion journalism business and i'm never happy to see journalists laid off of any particular stripe because i like more opinion i I like people battling it out.
00:39:57.000I think it's good for the country when we have people battling it out.
00:40:00.000It is also true that a lot of these enterprises expanded too fast and then had to contract because they did not control their growth.
00:40:06.000Instead, they simply hired a lot of people on the basis of projected future growth as opposed to cash flow, and now they've had to fire a lot of people.
00:40:14.000Well, the irony here is that there are a lot of folks on the left, and particularly in the sort of elitist left, who have been suggesting that when people who are Trump supporters lose their jobs in small towns, that the solution is to learn to code.
00:40:27.000This has become sort of shorthand for elitists sneering at people who are less educated than themselves.
00:40:34.000Now, I've said to myself, listen, if you're in a dying town, then maybe the best solution is to move out of the dying town, because I don't think that the politicians are going to bring your job back.
00:40:43.000The learn-to-code point has been something that you get from left-leaning elitists for a long time, and when illegal immigrants come into the country and threaten, for example, the labor base, that that's not a problem because people should just learn to code.
00:40:54.000Well now, these journalists are being laid off, and a lot of people who are Trump supporters are going after the journalists saying, well look, you lost your job, it ain't coming back, so learn to code.
00:41:03.000Well, John Levine is now reporting that Twitter is going to ban people for telling journalists to learn to code.
00:41:10.000That's right, our nation's bravest firefighters, the intrepid people out there every day, bringing you the truth, cannot handle somebody telling them to learn to code.
00:41:37.000What's good for the goose is not good for the gander in the media.
00:41:40.000This is why Jim Acosta is going to be writing a book about Jim Acosta being a victim because Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta.
00:41:46.000Because the members of the journalistic community have such a picture in their head that they are all heroic, Woodward and Bernstein types, that if somebody tells them, hey, maybe you ought to get a job for a living, then they get very upset.
00:41:56.000Whereas a lot of them will tell everybody else to get a job for a living.
00:42:02.000Now, I wanted to bring you an update on the government shutdown, which ended last Friday when President Trump unilaterally decided, we are done here.
00:42:10.000Maybe we'll be back here in three weeks.
00:42:11.000My guess is that in three weeks, the president will declare Some national emergency and then try to activate border funding from other parts of the Defense Department.
00:42:20.000But there was a poll that came out last week that was largely ignored until just about now.
00:43:36.000She was at 28% positive, 47% negative.
00:43:40.000So in other words, the same media that were cheering her, you remember Seth Meyers, on his show, saying they should build the wall out of Nancy Pelosi since she's just so tough, The same media, cheering Nancy Pelosi, shockingly, were not covering her radical drop in popularity.
00:43:54.000They weren't covering the fact that the government shutdown was hurting Nancy Pelosi even worse than it was hurting President Trump.
00:44:01.000And that media coverage caused people to jump early in the Republican Party, thinking that the damage from the government shutdown was simply too great.
00:44:07.000As I said last week, if President Trump wanted to go all the way on the government shutdown, then you have to be willing to go all the way.
00:44:13.000There's no such thing as a good bluff in politics.
00:44:16.000You have to be willing to pull the trigger.
00:44:17.000Trump was not willing to pull the trigger.
00:44:19.000Now he's going to take, I think, the other way out, which is the national emergency route.
00:44:22.000But it is important to note that that headline only came out after the shutdown ended.
00:44:27.000After the shutdown ended, suddenly we are learning that Nancy Pelosi, in fact, was deeply unpopular with the American people.
00:44:40.000And meanwhile, there's still aftermath from the Roger Stone indictment last week.
00:44:44.000So Roger Stone, as you recall, was arrested last week on charges that he lied to the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee, the FBI.
00:44:52.000Over the weekend, Stone went off on the FBI.
00:44:54.000He was very upset at the FBI, obviously.
00:44:56.000He said these are Gestapo tactics, which, again, no, they're not.
00:45:00.000A warrant and an arrest for lying to law enforcement, that's not the Gestapo.
00:45:04.000Please do not make Holocaust comparisons that are completely stupid.
00:45:42.000He is saying that he may in fact cooperate with Robert Mueller's probe.
00:45:46.000He was talking with this week, and he said that that's a question I'll have to determine after my attorneys have some discussion.
00:45:51.000If there's wrongdoing by other people in the campaign that I know about, which I know of none, if there is, I'd certainly testify honestly.
00:45:56.000So we'll see if there are any more shoes to drop on the Roger Stone indictment, as I said last week.
00:46:00.000What that indictment says to me, mostly, is that there was willingness by members of the Trump campaign to get information from Wikileaks, but no evidence of actual quid pro quos happening between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
00:46:14.000And if you're using Roger Stone as a go-between...
00:47:38.000It's the intermarriage that is going on and the cultures that are conflicting with each other.
00:47:42.000I also happen to believe that the Hispanics should work harder at assimilation.
00:47:45.000That's one of the things I've been saying for a long time, you know, that they ought not to be just codified in their communities, but make sure that all their kids are learning to speak English and that they feel comfortable in the communities.
00:47:57.000And that's going to take outreach on both sides, frankly.
00:48:00.000Okay, so he was ripped up and down for this.
00:48:19.000So, there's one study that came up in 2013, and it suggested that the children of immigrants are learning English as fast as the children of immigrants have learned English in the past.
00:48:29.000According to the Washington Post, as of 2013, first-generation Mexican immigrants still lag behind on learning English, but second-generation Americans, including those who live with their first-generation parents, acquire English just as fast as do Asian or European immigrants by the third generation.
00:48:43.000Virtually all Hispanics in the United States speak English.
00:48:46.000And this is reflected, actually, in support for English as the official language by racial group.
00:48:51.00074% of Americans as of 2013 were supportive of English as the official language.
00:48:57.000So were 71% of blacks, 70% of Asians, and 68% of third-generation Hispanics.
00:49:03.000So, you know, people are, according to that data, learning English quickly, having...
00:49:07.000However, there's other research that sort of suggests differently.
00:49:10.000According to NPR, there's a study conducted by the Philadelphia Education Research Consortium.
00:49:14.000It looked at English learners who entered the district as kindergartners in 2008 and their progress through the end of the third grade.
00:49:21.000And what it found is that students whose home language was Spanish were considerably less likely to reach proficiency than any other subgroup.
00:49:27.000Spanish speakers were almost half as likely as Chinese speakers to cross the proficiency threshold.
00:49:32.000So what this suggests is that this isn't necessarily a, this isn't really a Hispanic problem.
00:49:36.000What this really is, is an American problem where we are not encouraging people to assimilate.
00:49:42.000And in places like California, we are engaging in bilingual education, right?
00:49:45.000You should not be engaging in bilingual education.
00:49:47.000When my ancestors got here, they did not go to schools where they were taught Yiddish and English.
00:49:50.000They went to schools where they were taught English, even if they spoke Yiddish at home.
00:49:54.000The multicultural attempt to break people down into separate communities is really a problem.
00:49:58.000And pretending that there are not cultural differences between people who have assimilated and people who have not assimilated is, of course, very silly.
00:50:05.000So, I think some of the ire for Tom Brokaw is earned.
00:50:08.000I think some of the ire is an attempt to avoid some real questions about how particular education system in the United States works.
00:50:21.000You'll remember him from such things as he leads some sort of anti-bullying crusade, even though he is a massive bully, Dan Savage.
00:50:28.000This is a guy who wrote for, I believe it was Salon back in 2000, that he hated Gary Bauer so much that he volunteered for Gary Bauer's presidential campaign and then had the flu and licked doorknobs around the office.
00:50:39.000In order to give other people on the campaign the flu.
00:50:41.000I mean, Dan Savage is a vile, hateful person.
00:50:43.000Here is Dan Savage, though, suggesting that all Trump supporters are racist, white bleeps.
00:50:48.000They're good at demagoguery, they're good at racism, they're good at stoking fear.
00:50:52.000Everybody's like, oh, it's economic anxiety, oh, it's the working class.
00:50:55.000All those first reactions to Trump's wins, all the research, all the social science research and data sense have proven it's racist, white, dumb f***s in our anti-democratic system.
00:51:07.000Okay, if this is how Democrats want to see it, they will lose.
00:51:09.000I mean, if they really want to alienate everybody in the middle of the country by calling them racist, white, dumb bleeps...
00:51:16.000That'll get you a lot of applause in places like Los Angeles, but it ain't gonna get you a lot of applause in places that you need to win in the middle of the country.
00:51:23.000If you want to have a shot in Georgia, you probably shouldn't be calling people racist white bleeds for considering the possibility of voting for Donald Trump.
00:51:29.000Now maybe, look, the worst case scenario here is that Trump has been so off-putting in his years in office that he actually alienates the American people into voting for an open radical, an open socialist.
