00:01:42.000Okay, so the big news today is that President Trump announced via the Twitter that he's going to deport millions of illegal immigrants.
00:01:51.000Now, I will say, I do not think that it is a generally good idea for the President of the United States to announce that he's going to deport Millions of people via tweet.
00:02:00.000It seems like you should think that one out a little bit more and then, you know, announce a comprehensive policy.
00:02:05.000Maybe you should work with your own Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement to come up with a comprehensive strategy.
00:02:14.000Instead, the president basically just tweeted it out.
00:02:17.000So last night he tweeted out, next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal immigrants Now, the last part of this is exactly right.
00:02:25.000They will be removed as fast as they come in.
00:02:27.000Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people long before they get to our southern border.
00:02:34.000Guatemala is getting ready to sign a safe third agreement, which I assume he means safe third party agreement.
00:02:39.000The only ones who won't do anything are the Democrats in Congress.
00:02:42.000They must vote to get rid of the loopholes and fix asylum.
00:02:44.000If so, border crisis will end quickly.
00:02:46.000Now, the last part of this is exactly right.
00:02:48.000If he's able to get a safe third country agreement out of the Guatemalan government, That's a very good thing.
00:02:55.000Basically, what those agreements do is they say if you immigrate, if you move from a country to another country, you don't claim asylum in the United States.
00:03:03.000You claim asylum in the country to which you have moved.
00:03:05.000We have a safe third party agreement with, for example, Canada.
00:03:08.000So if you are attempting to escape a bad home country and you go to Canada, you don't then apply to citizenship in the United States or for asylum rather in the United States.
00:03:17.000Instead, you stay in Canada because the idea is you are escaping from a bad place.
00:03:21.000You don't get to pick which country you go to.
00:03:23.000You get to pick which country you are escaping from.
00:03:25.000So if we get that agreement from Guatemala, we've been trying to get such an agreement from Mexico, that would obviously be a very good thing for the United States.
00:03:33.000It is also true that arrests on our southern border are in fact dropping.
00:03:36.000So whatever pressure Trump has applied to the Mexican government, Credit where credit is due.
00:03:41.000According to the Washington Post, the number of migrant families crossing the border illegally has been falling in recent weeks, according to preliminary figures from U.S.
00:03:48.000Customs and Border Protection, though U.S.
00:03:50.000officials say it's too soon to get a full picture of the impact on migration trends from President Trump's deal with Mexico.
00:03:55.000Remember, just a couple of weeks ago, the president announced again via tweet that he had reached a deal with the Mexican government.
00:04:02.000Whereby they would avoid escalating tariffs by cracking down on illegal immigration traveling up from their southern border to their northern border into the United States.
00:04:11.000authorities detained more than 85,000 family unit members at the border in May, an average of nearly 2,800 per day.
00:04:17.000That number has declined about 13% since the beginning of June.
00:04:20.000That's the period during which Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico and the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, which is a very left government, agreed to an immigration crackdown to avoid the penalty.
00:04:30.000According to the Washington Post, U.S.
00:04:32.000officials say they are expecting a 15 to 20 percent decline in border arrests from May, when authorities detained more than 144,000 and migration levels reached their highest point since 2006.
00:04:41.000The portion of migrants arriving as part of a family group has reached unprecedented levels in recent months, overwhelming U.S.
00:04:48.000border authorities who say they are ill-equipped to care for so many parents with children.
00:04:52.000They're ill-equipped to prepare for all of that because the Democrats have refused funding, including funding for extra beds at the border.
00:04:57.000They're deliberately creating a humanitarian crisis on the border.
00:05:00.000The Democrats are in Congress by not granting the funding necessary to make sure that people have livable conditions at the border when they arrive.
00:05:07.000The goal, of course, for many Democrats is that those people not having livable conditions should then be released into the interior of the United States.
00:05:14.000They tend to show up for their first court date because at that point, all they have to show is that they are willing to show up for a court date, basically, and then If within six months they are not processed, they are given a provisional green card, and then they just overstay their green card and stay in the United States basically forever.
00:05:28.000That is the way illegal immigration has tended to work, at least crossing our southern border.
00:05:33.000Since the June 7th immigration deal with Trump, Mexico has begun to deploy thousands of National Guard forces to set up a highway checkpoint system and catch more Central American migrants as they head northward toward the U.S.
00:05:44.000By the way, it's worthwhile noting the escalation in family units attempting to come into the United States is an attempt to claim asylum.
00:05:51.000In other words, it used to be that a huge majority of the people who are crossing our southern border were single men who are trying to come into the United States looking for work, and then they would send money back home.
00:06:00.000Maybe eventually they tried to bring their family up.
00:06:02.000Now you're seeing families arrive at the border specifically so that they have a more sympathetic asylum claim.
00:06:10.000The United States has also begun to send more asylum seekers back across the border into Mexico to await their U.S.
00:06:15.000immigration court hearings, which is an expansion of the Migrant Protection Protocols program that prevents the migrants from staying in the United States while they go through the asylum process.
00:06:23.000Again, that's an attempt by the Trump administration to stop people from disappearing after they show up for their first court date and just being integrated into America's underground economy.
00:06:32.000The Mexican immigration enforcement crackdown has been concentrated in southern Mexico, so U.S.
00:06:36.000officials say it could take several weeks for the full effect of the effort to show up as a reduction in crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:06:43.000The United States is hoping that all of this is going to act as a deterrent.
00:06:47.000US official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, "We are seeing initial actions.
00:06:50.000We are seeing some signs they're having an impact.
00:06:52.000I think it's still too early to tell." Board arrests typically surge in the spring.
00:06:57.000Board arrests declined 17% from May 2018 to June 2018, an indication that the expected decline this month might not be a result of actually Trump administration policy, but might just be a seasonal thing.
00:07:07.000In other words, people are, it's moving into summer, it's harder to illegally immigrate.
00:07:19.000Department of Homeland Security officials say that current migration patterns are less linked to seasonal labor demand than in the past.
00:07:25.000Instead, driven by the widespread view in Central America, that those who migrate with children have an opportunity now to gain entry to the United States by taking advantage of legal gaps in the U.S.
00:07:36.000Okay, so all of that is the predicate for the Trump announcement today, when he says that we're going to start removing millions of immigrants who are in the United States illegally.
00:07:44.000He did not offer any specifics, did President Trump.
00:07:47.000And this is in keeping with President Trump's patchwork, at best, approach to policy, in which he just announces a thing and then hopes his administration backfills it.
00:07:57.000He's done this with regard to his policy on transgender folks in the military.
00:08:00.000He's done this with regard to executive authority on immigration.
00:08:14.000Maybe it's all for PR purposes, but that's a pretty stunning announcement that you are simply going to start supporting millions of people How is that going to happen?
00:08:25.000Ann Coulter, who's about as much of an immigration hawk as it is possible to be, she's the one who suggested that if President Trump built a wall, she wouldn't care if he aborted babies in the Oval Office, right?
00:08:38.000She's saying, where are the specifics?
00:08:40.000Because she says Trump makes these sorts of announcements all the time on building a border wall, for example, and then there's no border wall.
00:08:46.000So what exactly is he going to actually do here?
00:08:48.000I want details because I want to know how this is going to be applied.
00:08:51.000You know, like I think most Americans, I would like to see illegal immigrants removed from the United States if they are not of benefit to the United States.
00:08:59.000I want to see this done on a one by one basis, basically.
00:09:02.000I think that people who have been living in the United States for 10, 12 years, been contributing to the United States economy, are not on welfare, for example.
00:09:11.000Those folks might be an asset to the United States, and simply dropping them off at the local airport, and having them fly back to their home countries, that might actually really not be the best policy.
00:09:20.000It seems to me that illegal immigrants should be processed exactly the same way that legal immigrants are processed.
00:09:25.000But if you're a new-coming illegal immigrant, if you crossed the border yesterday, then you being flown back to your home country or you being dropped back off at the border, that seems perfectly reasonable to me as well.
00:09:35.000So in other words, I think a case-by-case individualistic approach to illegal immigrants currently living in the country makes a hell of a lot of sense, as opposed to sort of the broad-based Policy just announced by the Trump administration.
00:09:46.000Now, I also understand the folks who are saying, well, you're here illegally.
00:09:52.000government should be able to deport you.
00:09:54.000My point is that there are lots of people in the United States illegally who are in fact contributing to the United States and are people who we would want in the United States if they had immigrated legally.
00:10:04.000So some sort of process should be set up for them.
00:10:06.000I mean, this particular statement by the president Doesn't actually explain what to do with the so-called dreamers, for example, people who have been here since they were children brought by illegal immigrant parents and have been living here effectively as Americans for the last 20 years.
00:10:19.000As I say, those people should be treated on a case-by-case basis.
00:10:21.000There is a difference between, obviously, an illegal immigrant who joins the U.S.
00:10:25.000military or an illegal immigrant who is in college right now after having gone through the American educational system and is an asset to our economy and an illegal immigrant who committed a crime and is now sitting in a state prison.
00:10:37.000Under a deal reached earlier this month, Mexico has agreed to take Central American immigrants seeking asylum in the United States until their cases are heard in U.S.

00:13:06.000The same thing holds true when you are making immigration arrests.
00:13:09.000The Washington Post correctly reports, large-scale ICE enforcement operations are typically kept secret to avoid tipping off targets.
00:13:15.000In 2018, Trump and other senior officials threatened the mayor of Oakland, California with criminal prosecution for alerting city residents that immigration raids were in the works.
00:13:25.000Now, Trump and Stephen Miller, who is his senior immigration advisor, again, super hawkish, very close with Ann Coulter, have been prodding Homeland Security officials to arrest and remove thousands of family members whose deportation orders were expedited by the Justice Department this year.
00:13:46.000In April, Acting ICE Director Ronald Vidiello and Homeland Security Secretary Christian Nielsen were ousted after they hesitated to go forward with the plan, expressing concerns about its preparation, effectiveness, and the risk of public outrage from images of migrant children being taken into custody or separated from their families because, presumably, some of the people and the risk of public outrage from images of migrant children being taken into custody or separated from their families because, presumably, some of How exactly does all of this work?
00:14:09.000This is one of the things Trump is going to have to take into consideration.
00:14:13.000It's all fun and games until the pictures start hitting the front pages.
00:14:15.000And President Trump was fine with a harsh immigration policy until all the pictures started hitting the papers, at which point he backed off a lot of his harsh enforcement policies.
00:14:24.000Does he actually have the stomach to go forward with all of this in the run-up to a 2020 election?
00:14:30.000Vidiello was replaced at ICE by former FBI and Border Patrol official Mark Morgan, who had impressed the president with statements on cable TV in favor of harsh immigration enforcement measures.
00:14:39.000As according to the Washington Post, in his first two weeks on the job at ICE, Morgan has said publicly he plans to beef up interior enforcement And that, of course, is 100% true.
00:14:46.000Now, I don't think that the folks at ICE are going out of their way to treat people in an inhumane fashion.
00:14:50.000in order to uphold the integrity of the country's legal system.
00:14:54.000Okay, and that, of course, is 100% true.
00:14:57.000Now, I don't think that the folks at ICE are going out of their way to treat people in an inhumane fashion.
00:15:04.000I don't think it's inhumane to deport people who are here illegally if they ought to be deported.
00:15:11.000I mean, again, it is unclear exactly how all of this is going to be carried out, considering that ice currently has a shortage on the border.
00:15:20.000Supporters of the plan, including Miller and Morgan and ICE Deputy Director Matthew Albins, have argued forcefully a dramatic and highly publicized operation of this type will send a message to families that are in defiance of deportation orders and could act as a deterrent for future immigration.
00:15:35.000Well, Democrats, of course, are taking this with just the way you would expect.
00:15:40.000They're taking it with all of the sort of nuance and objectivity that is necessary In order for them to make a solid case, leading the way is the illustrious Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
00:15:54.000So fresh, so face, fresh face, fresh face McFace.
00:15:58.000She did an Instagram last night while she was folding her laundry or something, in which she suggested that ICE detention centers are like concentration camps.
00:17:36.000It is true that the term concentration camps has sometimes been used, like pre the Holocaust, to refer to mass detention of civilians illegally.
00:17:48.000But typically we use that phrase internment camps like the Japanese internment camps.
00:17:53.000Concentration camps have come to be associated with death camps because that's what everyone associates them with including you who just said never again when you were talking about all of this.
00:18:03.000Don't tell me you're not making a Nazi reference when you are obviously making a Nazi reference.
00:18:32.000Concentration camps from Britannica.com, internment center for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security.
00:18:40.000So even by the more anodyne definition of concentration camps, she is wrong, considering that concentration camps are used for political dissidents, not for people who are breaking the law.
00:18:50.000Does she consider American jails concentration camps?
00:18:52.000Because those are technically places where we keep people who are civilians and not members of the military for long periods of time.
00:19:02.000If you are comparing Border Patrol and ICE to Nazi guards, or hell, if you're comparing this to Japanese internment when we took a bunch of American citizens of Japanese extraction under a Democratic president, FDR, that was the last time we had major internment camps in the United States.
00:19:17.000If you're comparing that to illegal immigrants cross the border and then we house them in facilities, and those facilities are short beds because you Democrats won't give beds specifically in an attempt to pressure the release of these people, It's pretty astonishing.
00:19:48.000And they are not interested in dealing with the people who are here or deporting anyone who is here.
00:19:52.000In fact, they want to blanket amnesty for everyone who is here.
00:19:56.000Which is why New York is now pushing driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
00:20:01.000New York has done- California has done this already.
00:20:04.000The New York State Senate approved a bill on Monday to grant driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, which is- I love this euphemism that is now used by much of the mainstream media.
00:20:12.000They've put out rules of engagement for the AP, for example, in which they say you're not supposed to use the terms illegal immigrant or illegal alien.
00:20:19.000You're not supposed to use the word illegal at all.
00:20:24.000If you're an undocumented driver, you are driving illegally.
00:20:27.000If you drive without papers, without a driver's license, you are driving illegally.
00:20:32.000There are certain things in the United States that require you to go through a legal process.
00:20:35.000If you do not do that, you are henceforth doing the thing illegally.
00:20:40.000The vote, together with the Assembly's passage last week, thrust New York into the center of an explosive national debate over immigration that would reverse a nearly 20-year-old ban and end years of political paralysis on the issue.
00:20:52.000When the last vote was cast just after 8.30 p.m., immigration rights activists erupted into cheers.
00:20:57.000It's been an 18-year struggle, said Javier Valdez, the co-executive director of Make the Road New York, a prominent immigrant advocacy group.
00:21:03.000The resilience of the immigrant community has shown through once again.
00:21:07.000currently allow undocumented immigrants to drive.
00:21:10.000But it makes it very difficult for undocumented immigrants to actually have insurance.
00:21:14.000So how that works is still up in the air.
00:21:17.000Plus, a driver's license gives you access to all sorts of other services that you wouldn't necessarily get if you are an undocumented immigrant.
00:21:52.000We dehumanize and we delegitimize people who are our brothers and sisters in humanity.
00:21:57.000It is not dehumanizing someone or delegitimizing someone to say that they have committed a crime or that they are living in violation of the law.
00:22:05.000The reason that Democrats are interested in all of this, they made clear over the last few weeks, when they suggested openly, quite openly in fact, that they were in favor of illegal immigrants being counted in the United States Census without regard to immigration characteristics, specifically so that all of the seats in the House of Representatives would be allocated on the basis of non-citizen population as opposed to citizen population, granting Democrats a bunch of seats in areas where they probably would not have seats otherwise.
00:22:31.000There's an agenda at play here, and frankly, it is not an agenda that is in concert with the interests of American citizens.
00:22:39.000And again, it prevents an issue from being solved that pretty much everybody agrees on.
00:22:44.000People want a lot of illegal immigrants who are here contributing to the economy, contributing to our culture, making the country better, to go through a legal process and then stay.
00:22:51.000And they want people who are not to be deported.
00:22:54.000And they want us to control our borders.
00:22:57.000Except the far left, which apparently has taken control of the Democratic Party and seeks to create an issue of humanitarian crisis where none really ought to exist.
00:23:08.000The other big story of the day, which is the possibility of conflict with Iran.
00:23:12.000But first, you probably don't realize it, the average American blasts their eyes with bright screens for 11 hours every single day.
00:23:19.000It sounds crazy, but think about what you do all day.
00:23:21.000For me, it's definitely more than 11 hours.
00:23:22.000I wake up in the morning, I'm checking my phone for my mail, I'm checking Twitter, and then I'm coming in here, I'm doing my show, and I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 screens in front of me.
00:23:32.000I mean, you're blasting your eyes with this sort of light all the time.
00:23:34.000The fact is that the human mind is sort of programmed to watch people on TV, for example, and you can't stop looking at those screens because they give you the information that you need.
00:23:43.000But you can protect your eyes with a pair of Felix Grey glasses that are available with or without a prescription.
00:23:48.000Felix Grey glasses are a lifesaver for me, for sure.
00:23:50.000They filter out 90% of high-energy blue light and eliminate the glare coming off all those screens, so I can live my life without the tired, dry eyes, the blurry vision, or the headaches.
00:23:58.000Unlike other blue light filtering glasses, Felix Greys have no yellow lens tint, so you can actually see everything in its true color, which is great.
00:24:04.000One of the things that annoys me about sunglasses and a lot of other tinted glasses is that I kind of like seeing color in the world.
00:24:10.000Felix Grey frames are handcrafted from high-quality materials like organic Italian acetate, premium German steel.
00:24:16.000In fact, throwing on some Felix Greys is a pretty easy way to look pretty put together, actually.
00:24:20.000They're really good-looking, these glasses.
00:24:22.000Felix Grey glasses are available in non-prescription, prescription, and readers.
00:24:25.000With free shipping and free returns, there is nothing to lose.
00:24:27.000Don't go another day looking at screens without the help of some Felix Greys.
00:24:42.000The conflict with Iran on the international level continues to militate.
00:24:48.000Members of the media continue to basically suggest that Trump is lying us into war, despite the fact that they have provided no evidence that Trump is lying us into war.
00:24:55.000In fact, Trump himself said today that he is certainly not interested in any sort of conflict with Iran.
00:25:01.000He said it would be one thing if we're talking about conflict over nuclear weapons.
00:25:04.000It is another thing if we are talking about, you know, a shipping issue.
00:26:09.000I am not seeing any sort of evidence that it's President Trump's sort of aggressiveness that is pushing Iran here, other than the fact that we have put sanctions on one of the worst regimes on planet Earth, and they are arbitrarily attempting to drive up the price of oil by shutting down shipping straits.
00:26:25.000But President Trump is not interested in conflict.
00:26:27.000I don't know how many times he can say this.
00:26:29.000This is according to Time Magazine, not a friend to President Trump.
00:26:32.000He said, I would certainly go over nuclear weapons.
00:26:35.000He said, I would keep the other a question mark.
00:26:38.000But he said that when it comes to international oil supply, he's like, not really.
00:26:42.000Like, really, I want to go to war over this sort of thing?
00:26:46.000Trump told Time magazine, the Gulf of Oman is less strategically important for the United States now than it used to be, citing China and Japan as nations that still rely on the region for significant proportions of their oil.
00:26:55.000He said, other places get such vast amounts of oil there.
00:27:11.000intelligence community's assessment that Iran was behind the attacks, saying, I don't think too many people don't believe it.
00:27:16.000But then he says, if you look at the rhetoric now compared to the days when they were signing that agreement, where it was always death to America, death to America, we'll destroy America, we'll kill America.
00:27:23.000I'm not hearing that too much anymore, and I don't expect to.
00:27:27.000So President Trump is not looking for conflict here.
00:27:31.000I'll tell you that Iran continues to ratchet up the rhetoric because again, Iran is attempting to militate against its own population.
00:27:40.000The fact that Iran is a repressive evil regime that cracks down on the human rights of its own citizens and therefore requires this sort of rally around the flag effect by attacking America.
00:27:50.000By the way, not uncommon in parts of the radical Muslim world.
00:27:53.000Hamas does the same thing with Israel, the Palestinian Authority.
00:27:56.000Does the same thing with Israel and the United States as well, by the way.
00:27:59.000Well now, Iran is saying that its stockpile of enriched uranium will surpass limits set by the 2015 international nuclear deal 10 days from now, unless European partners in the agreement do more to help it circumvent United States sanctions.
00:28:18.000It's worked well for North Korea for years.
00:28:21.000The international community being filled with feckless dweebs, they've been jumping on the bandwagon, basically saying, oh, please, let's be nice to Iran again.
00:28:28.000Then they'll stop with their uranium enrichment.
00:28:30.000Well, weird, because I was informed that Iran had dramatically decreased its capacity to develop uranium.
00:28:37.000I mean, that's what they told us, right?
00:28:39.000I mean, we were told in the nuclear deal that Iran was going to demobilize a lot of its nuclear equipment.
00:28:44.000And yet, weirdly enough, within just a couple of months after the sanctions have really started to take effect, Iran has already mobilized to the extent that they can announce that 10 days from now they are going to be able to spin up their nuclear machines and everything's fine.
00:28:59.000The announcement made by the spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization was the first time the Tehran explicitly said it was on track to violate the agreement.
00:29:06.000The increase in both quantity and quality of the enriched fuel could shorten the time, currently estimated at one year, that it would take to produce enough for a nuclear weapon.
00:29:13.000Well, if you recall, all the way back to the Iran nuclear agreements, there were some of us who were suggesting that this was all just a ploy by the Iranians.
00:29:21.000To gain money that they could use to spread terror all over the world, and it would allow them, legally, within ten years, to basically produce a nuclear bomb.
00:29:29.000Ten years after the deal expired, ten years and one day, they would have a nuclear weapon.
00:29:33.000And then they'd have the money and the nuclear weapon and the regional strength.
00:29:37.000And the Obama administration said, no, no, with the money will come moderation.
00:29:41.000With the money will come moderation is one of the dumbest arguments, especially in the aftermath of look, look what happened to China.
00:29:47.000I truly wonder how many states have been liberalized by the addition of money to their economy.
00:29:52.000Making an evil regime richer generally does not make the evil regime go away.
00:29:57.000Making an evil regime poor sometimes makes the evil regime go away.
00:30:03.000Venezuela's evil It's it's not been it was not militated against it was not it was not lessened by the fact that Venezuela was incredibly oil rich.
00:30:14.000The USSR, when it was powerful, was a lot more dangerous than when it had been hit by sanctions, when its economy was collapsing in on itself.
00:30:22.000China has continued to gain power and credence in Southeast Asia.
00:30:27.000They've been pushing into the South China Sea.
00:30:30.000Millions of people on the streets, and China doesn't care.
00:30:32.000They're just going to do what they want in Hong Kong if the United States and other members of the West don't stand up to the Chinese.
00:30:37.000That was made available by the fact that the West decided that they were going to quote-unquote liberalize China by allowing China to open its economy to the rest of the world.
00:30:46.000Now, I am not a fan of Nixon opening China.
00:30:52.000At the time, there were countervailing considerations like the fact that China and Russia were allies who were trying to split off Mao from the Russian regime because we were trying to collapse the USSR.
00:31:02.000But, in a vacuum, the opening of China, while good for many of China's citizens in terms of living standard, has been absolutely awful in terms of strengthening a horrible, terrible regime.
00:31:12.000This idea that we were going to moderate Iran in the same way, that we were just going to throw money at the ayatollahs, and suddenly the ayatollahs would become liberal reformers who are all in favor of Pete Buttigieg or something.
00:31:21.000It's just, it's insane, and it was always insane.
00:31:25.000And yet, you're hearing people today saying, well, why doesn't Trump just cave to them?
00:31:28.000It's Trump's intransigence that's creating all of this.

00:35:18.000Where is the evidence that President Trump is manipulating the intelligence in order to go to war?
00:35:24.000As I say, yesterday, Adam Schiff, who President Trump despises, President Trump, who Adam Schiff thinks is the worst person ever, is Like, Adam Schiff was saying that Trump is right on the Iran stuff.
00:35:43.000There's no question that Iran is behind the attacks.
00:35:45.000I think the evidence is very strong and compelling.
00:35:48.000In fact, I think this was a class A screw-up by Iran to insert a mine on the ship.
00:35:54.000It didn't detonate, they had to go back and retrieve it.
00:35:57.000I can imagine there are some Iranian heads rolling for that botched operation.
00:36:02.000But nonetheless, the problem is that we are struggling, even in the midst of this solid evidence, to persuade our allies to join us in any kind of a response.
00:36:13.000And it shows just how isolated the United States has become.
00:36:17.000Okay, well, as Eli Lake writes over at Bloomberg.com, the fact that there are so many members of the European contingent and of the press who keep saying that Trump is responsible for Iranian aggression is actually incentivizing Iranian aggression.
00:36:30.000As Eli Lake writes over at Bloomberg, European diplomats are urging Trump to drop his campaign of maximum pressure and adopt one of maximum restraint.
00:36:38.000Eli Lake says this is asking to be blackmailed.
00:36:40.000Now that Iran is threatening to exceed the limits to uranium enrichment it agreed to in the 2015 nuclear deal, It's more important than ever to understand that restraint and dialogue will not bring Iran to heel.
00:36:53.000Whether it was helping overthrow the government in Yemen or saving Syria's dictator as he gassed his own people, Iran was destabilizing the Middle East even as it negotiated with the West over its nuclear program starting in 2013.
00:37:04.000That's one reason why Trump is now trying a maximum pressure approach to get Iran to end its own adventures in the Middle East.
00:37:11.000You know, the idea that Trump is desperately looking for war, again, this is just, it's just silly talk.
00:37:16.000And it is amazing to me how many members of the intelligentsia are claiming that the intelligence community is now falsifying things.
00:37:23.000So the same people who are claiming that Trump was evil for doubting the intelligence community's assessment on Russia, are now saying that when Trump says that the intelligence community is correct about Iran, that the intelligence community is now lying, I guess.
00:37:35.000James Clapper, who is A really nefarious figure in the America's intelligence community, the former director of national intelligence under Barack Obama, a deeply political figure who claimed for years that he had secret inside information that Trump was a Russian stooge.
00:37:49.000Well, now he's coming out and he's saying the intelligence community is deeply worried about Trump.
00:37:55.000We should trust them when they're worried about Trump, but we shouldn't trust them when they make an evidentiarily based assessment of whether Iran is behind attacks in the Gulf of Oman.
00:38:05.000If the President didn't know about this program with the Russians, assuming the New York Times article is accurate, well, he sure does now.
00:38:15.000I do know there are other instances of where there have been concerns about U.S.
00:38:24.000intelligence capabilities, particularly when it comes to Russia.
00:38:29.000Since there is some mystery about just what exactly what the relationship is, particularly personally, between President Trump and Putin.
00:38:36.000So I think it's, you know, can't confirm or deny, but it's certainly plausible.
00:38:42.000And I do know there is concern in the intelligence community about that.
00:38:46.000It's amazing how intelligence community becomes such a malleable term.
00:38:49.000I have generally been in favor of the assessments of the intelligence community.
00:38:52.000That was true whether we're talking about the Mueller report, whether we were talking about Iran, whether we're talking about Russia.
00:38:58.000I've been pretty consistent in my assessment that the folks in the intelligence community are really doing their best to bring you honest information.
00:39:04.000And until shown otherwise, I've tended to doubt the idea that the intelligence community is simply a political tool for whichever administration is in power.
00:39:11.000Now, if you can make that argument based on evidence, I'm willing to hear it, but it's amazing to watch as so many people shift their minds on this.
00:39:18.000Well, in response to all of this, the United States is sending about a thousand more troops to the Middle East amid tensions over that series of attacks on oil tankers, as according to the UK Telegraph.
00:39:26.000Patrick Shanahan, who's the acting U.S.
00:39:28.000Defense Secretary, announced the deployment on Monday, explaining that the move was for defensive purposes, citing concerns about a threat from Iran.
00:39:35.000He said, And the Telegraph reports the series of mysterious attacks on oil tankers have been blamed by the U.S.
00:39:38.000credible intelligence we have received on hostile behavior by Iranian forces and their proxy groups that threaten United States personnel and interests across the region.
00:39:47.000And the Telegraph reports the series of mysterious attacks on oil tankers have been blamed by the U.S. on Iranian-laid limpet mines.
00:39:59.000General Mohamed Hossein Bagheri, the Chief of the General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, denied Tehran was involved in the tanker attacks, saying on Monday the country would respond only in an open, strong, and very severe way if needed.
00:40:11.000But then he says, if we decided to block the Strait of Hormuz, we will do it in a way that even a drop of oil won't pass the strait.
00:40:18.000So yeah, clearly these are folks that we can trust with the global supply of oil.
00:40:24.000Meanwhile, as I mentioned, Tehran is now blowing through their ultimatums on nuclear power.
00:40:30.000European officials say there appeared to be little hope of reaching a compromise before the Iranian deadline.
00:40:35.000If the European states had any cards, I think they would have played them by now.
00:40:38.000One diplomat said, if the deal does collapse, I love European media coverage, if the deal does collapse, it will plunge the world back into the uncertainty of the early 2010s.
00:41:16.000Meanwhile, the democratic race continues to unfold.
00:41:21.000Joe Biden continues to lead in Democratic primaries.
00:41:24.000But the fact is that dude is just not getting the sort of enthusiasm that I think he was expecting.
00:41:30.000He's raised some 20 million dollars to this point.
00:41:33.000But the average amount that he has raised at this point is fifty five dollars, which is very high.
00:41:38.000That means there are a lot of big name donors who are giving a lot of money to Joe Biden.
00:41:43.000According to the Washington Post, Biden's divergence from other candidates on display at poverty fighting event.
00:41:50.000So he spoke at the poor people's campaign.
00:41:53.000And there he outlined a new health care proposal, which would build on the Affordable Care Act by increasing access for lower income people.
00:41:59.000But as the Washington Post reports, the former vice president's tack on health care is less sweeping than the Medicare for all plan embraced by some of his Democratic rivals, which they later touted on stage.
00:42:10.000The Reverend William Barber II, a founder of the campaign, asked attendees not to cheer or hiss, but rather to greet all the candidates with polite applause.
00:42:17.000Even in this subdued setting, however, the response to Biden was noticeably muted.
00:42:20.000He left the stage to applause that was less enthusiastic than that which greeted him.
00:42:24.000Biden sped through his four-minute opening statement, which ended when Barber cut him off because of time constraints, leaving the former VP halfway through his story about Barack Obama's reaction to the 2015 church shooting.
00:42:35.000And then basically Biden went on there up there and just referred to Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama.
00:42:41.000He was uninspiring at best and odd at worst.
00:42:45.000He's taken this weird tack where he basically suggests that he can negotiate with Republicans in a way that no other Democrat can, waiting to see the evidence of that, considering that the Obama administration passed precisely zero bipartisan legislation.
00:42:57.000But here is Joe Biden explaining that we should be able to work with the GOP.
00:43:00.000And if we can't, maybe it's time for armed revolution.
00:43:03.000There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight.
00:43:05.000If you start off with the notion there's nothing you can do, well, why don't you all go home then, man?
00:43:11.000Or let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it.
00:43:14.000The reason why the rest of the world follows us and we're secure is not because we have the largest military in the world.
00:43:20.000It's because we not only lead by the power, the example of our power, but the power of our example.
00:43:27.000And you can shame people to do things the right way.
00:43:31.000It's really... Okay, you can shame people to do things the right way.
00:43:34.000I love that Joe Biden is talking about shaming people.
00:43:37.000A shameless human talking about shaming people.
00:43:46.000Because his comment basically ticks off everyone.
00:43:48.000He's saying to the far left, I can negotiate with Republicans, and you guys are radicals, and if you really believe you can't negotiate, then we should just have an armed revolution and fight people in the streets.
00:43:57.000So it's calculated to tick off the left by proclaiming that they're irrational.
00:44:01.000And it's calculated to tick off the right by suggesting that if they don't cave to his agenda, he's in favor of armed revolution.
00:44:40.000But Joe Biden still has to pander to the woke crowd.
00:44:42.000And so he suggests that America is still a deeply discriminatory, horrible place in every possible way.
00:44:47.000This is how you try to get the intersectional advocates on board.
00:44:51.000He says our policies in America discriminate against everybody.
00:44:54.000Like literally every minority is discriminated against by American policy, which begs the question, weren't you vice president for eight years?
00:45:00.000I mean, haven't you been a senator since like 1820?
00:45:04.000And what have you been doing your whole career, dude?
00:45:08.000It's not only that we have less than half the people, almost half the people in the United States living in poverty.
00:45:15.000It's ridiculous that we have this extreme, extreme, extreme change that's going on.
00:45:24.000Our policy discriminates against and devalues black people, Native Americans, people of color, women, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities.
00:45:33.000I'm going quick because I have four minutes.
00:48:26.000It's really well written, it's really interesting, and it's really kind of contrarian in a wide variety of ways.
00:48:32.000He's one of the only people who works in Hollywood who is willing to give an honest assessment of the films in Hollywood and the critics in Hollywood.
00:48:38.000It's one of the things that makes him really interesting.
00:48:40.000Go pick up a copy of the book "White." It's contrarian in all the right ways.
00:48:53.000It's one of the best kind of Hollywood books I've read in a very, very long time.
00:48:56.000Okay, time for a couple of quick things that I hate.
00:49:02.000So the thing that I hate, number one, it's always fascinating to me to watch members of the media come out in favor of deplatforming people.
00:49:08.000I'm old enough to remember when the press used to do the quote that was apocryphally attributed to Voltaire that, I may disagree with what you say, but I'll fight for the death to your right to say it.
00:49:18.000Now it's, why won't you deplatform this person I don't like?
00:49:21.000So here's Poppy Harlow from CNN trying to push the CEO of Google to actually ban Steven Crowder from YouTube.
00:49:28.000YouTube has taken a lot of heat also for these homophobic videos, specifically ones aimed at this Vox journalist that are still on, even after they put out these new guidelines.
00:49:38.000I asked him directly, why is that still there, those videos?
00:49:42.000And they're in the middle of reviewing their guidelines again, meeting with outside groups, and they're considering it, but they don't know at this point.
00:49:49.000I mean, if this is fundamental to your business, they have to make the decision about where that line is between hate and free speech.
00:50:27.000Simpson showed white Americans just how conditional their comfort with black athletes was.
00:50:32.000Well, I feel like you're missing a little part of the story.
00:50:36.000You know, the part where he's a murderer.
00:50:38.000The part where he killed his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman and then ran away and lied about it and obviously did it.
00:50:47.000That's the part that I find a little bit... allegedly.
00:50:49.000Okay, that's the part that I find that, you know, like, everybody seemed kind of okay with, like, O.J.
00:50:54.000Simpson and commercials and being an athlete and the towering inferno carrying a cat all weird, but it was the point where he sliced off his ex-wife's head.
00:51:25.000Simpson comes back on the Twitters and he says he's got some getting even to do, everybody locks their doors.
00:51:31.000He's far from the household name he was on the night of June 17th, 1994.
00:51:34.000That night, an epic battle between two of the best centers in the National Basketball Association, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing, was interrupted when NBC shifted to live footage of retired football great O.J.
00:51:45.000police in a white Ford Bronco driven by his friend Al Callings.
00:51:48.000I remember I was very irritated by this because I was watching the NBA Finals at the time.
00:51:52.000Only about 8 million viewers watched NBC's coverage of the game.
00:51:55.000About 95 million tuned in across networks to see whether a distraught Simpson would surrender, clash with the police, or kill himself.
00:52:01.000The car chase, coming in the middle of the fifth game of the NBA Finals, cast a brief pall on what had been a watershed moment for black athletes.
00:52:08.000To suggest that Simpson overshadowed a decade's worth of goodwill toward black athletes would be an overstatement.
00:52:13.000But Simpson, arguably a major source of this goodwill, certainly made clear the conditions white Americans put on their goodwill, even as the nation's greatest black athletes continue to thrill and amaze.
00:52:24.000Well, I mean, I don't really think that my perspective on Hakeem Olajuwon changed dramatically because O.J.
00:52:29.000Simpson chopped somebody's head off, allegedly.
00:52:35.000I was watching that game, and I don't remember being like, well, now I can't watch the NBA Finals anymore.
00:52:53.000But don't worry, this professor has more to say.
00:52:55.000He says after years of being criticized for their politics and demeanor, black athletes spent the 1980s gaining recognition primarily for their ability and affability.
00:53:03.000And he talks about Muhammad Ali and how Bill Russell and Jim Brown and Lua Alcindor, who was then became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, how they were all very proud and political in the 1960s and 1970s.
00:53:17.000And then how they sort of softened themselves in the 1980s.
00:53:20.000And then the idea was that there were only certain circumstances under which people were willing to grant credibility to black athletes.
00:53:26.000Well, I mean, it's possible that a lot of people just didn't agree with those athletes about, for example, the Vietnam War.
00:53:33.000But this article is basically ignoring sort of the key in why people started to not like OJC.
00:53:40.000They say, In January 1994, he served as pregame analyst on NBC's Super Bowl broadcast.
00:53:43.000He was offensively successful in the months before the Bronco chase.
00:53:45.000In January 1994, he served as pregame analyst on NBC's Super Bowl broadcast.
00:53:50.000He appeared on his recurring role as Officer Nordberg in the police procedural parody Naked Gun, which was released that March.
00:53:57.000He even partnered with singer Gloria Estefan to raise $30 million for spinal cord research.
00:54:02.000The bronco chase forced Americans not only to wrestle with the increasing likelihood of Simpson's guilt, but also to recognize that perhaps he was not who they thought he was.
00:54:09.000He was not the smiling Petchman running through airports or the frequent victim of comedic violence in Naked Gun.
00:54:24.000Simpson's fall from grace was important enough to disrupt an epic battle between two of the greatest NBA players of all time.
00:54:31.000It was important to note at the time, by the way, the NBA finals were not drawing dramatic ratings.
00:54:35.000And you know what did draw dramatic ratings?
00:54:37.000A guy who was wanted for murder, one of the most prominent people in America, running from police in the back of a car while telephoning in and explaining that he was about to shoot himself in the head.
00:54:47.000Turns out that, I mean, I may have been watching the NBA Finals, but one of those things is a little bit more compelling, TV.
00:54:54.000Even though the images themselves were not particularly compelling.
00:54:57.000The chase not only disrupted the NBA Finals, says this columnist, it also unsettled the comfort white Americans had developed for black athletes.
00:55:33.000And we were talking about particular incidents of police brutality and racism.
00:55:37.000So there was this incident just over the weekend.
00:55:40.000In which Phoenix police on tape appear to be dramatically abusing a black man and woman.
00:55:47.000Apparently they had a little four year old kid who took a 99 cent doll from like a 99 cent store and the police pulled over this couple and they are abusing them and shouting at them, pointing guns at them.
00:56:07.000I mean, it's these folks shouting at this couple that is attempting to comply with the... And then, in their police report, they just ignored all of this sort of stuff.
00:56:16.000And it was caught on tape, which is why I'm in favor, and have been for a long time, of officers having body cams on them, because it keeps everybody honest.
00:56:25.000So, in other words, there are certain incidents where it's pretty obvious what is going on from the tape itself.
00:56:31.000There are certain incidents where it's not obvious and the media covers it in the wrong way.
00:56:34.000Michael Brown in Ferguson being a prime example of that exact sort of thing.
00:56:39.000But because everybody wants to batten down the hatches with regard to narrative, and this is particularly true when it comes to racial crimes and racial issues, We end up with these bizarre polling statistics on things like Michael Brown, where there's an actual disputed circumstance.
00:57:19.000Now, that could be reflective of supposed white racism, or it could be reflective of the evidence in a particular case.
00:57:24.000One of the things that you will see in, for example, the Michael Brown case, is that the initial polls showed that white people said they didn't have enough information to know what had happened, and black people suggested, by and large, that this was a racial killing.
00:58:43.000They decided to put this into the middle of a narrative, as opposed to looking at the evidence on its face.
00:58:48.000And afterward, it's a lot easier to assess the evidence on its face.
00:58:50.000The question is, if you're a decent person, can you assess evidence on its face When you first see it, or do you have to wait for the narrative to emerge and then be defeated over time?
00:58:59.000OK, we'll be back here a little bit later today with two additional hours.
00:59:02.000Otherwise, we'll see you back here tomorrow.
