00:00:00.000President Trump enters into wild battle with the media, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is out, and the left's intersectional rage cannot be stifled.
00:00:22.000But first, we first have to talk about the fact that the Democrats have retaken the House, which means that a lot of the positive policies Republicans have enacted over the past two years could be stymied.
00:00:38.000Can you afford another hit to your retirement like the last downturn when the S&P dropped 50%?
00:00:43.000You need to hedge against inflation and hedge against uncertainty and instability by diversifying your portfolio with some precious metals.
00:00:48.000Gold is a safe haven against uncertainty, and my savings plan is diversified.
00:00:53.000The company I trust with precious metal purchases, Birch Gold Group.
00:00:56.000Right now, thanks to a little-known IRS tax law, you can even move your IRA or eligible 401k into an IRA backed by physical gold and silver.
00:01:53.000Obviously, you know, mass shooting anywhere in the United States is horrifying, but a mass shooting that is close to you feels a little bit more immediate.
00:02:00.000In this particular case, the gunman who massacred 12 people at a country music bar in SoCal on Wednesday night has been identified as an ex-Marine.
00:02:08.000We have a policy here on the show that we do not actually identify the name of the shooter, but we'll give you details so that you know motive.
00:02:13.000He opened fire on the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks at 11.20pm.
00:02:18.000This person had been cleared by mental health experts after an incident in his home in April.
00:02:23.000Sheriffs revealed on Thursday morning.
00:02:24.000So once again, somebody had a brush with the law and the brush with the law was not enough to end with this person being prohibited from firearms ownership or gun ownership.
00:02:34.000California does have an A rating from the Brady Center for Gun Control.
00:02:38.000It is considered the most gun-controlled state in the United States.
00:02:41.000We've had a multiplicity of mass shootings in California in the past few years.
00:04:05.000He had no criminal history except for a minor traffic infraction.
00:04:09.000A neighbor told ABC he was known to suffer from PTSD.
00:04:13.000The woman, who did not want to be named, said she had no idea what he was doing with a gun.
00:04:17.000He had apparently modified his weapon to hold more rounds.
00:04:21.000So again, gun laws in the state of California not being effective.
00:04:25.000The handgun was designed to hold 10 rounds and one in the chamber.
00:04:27.000The weapon did have an extended magazine on it that he'd either obtained illegally or he had modified illegally so that he was able to hold more rounds in the magazine.
00:04:37.000It will drive more conversation about gun control, even though, as I say, California is extraordinarily heavily gun controlled.
00:04:44.000And the notion that more gun control prevents mass shootings like this is simply not true in a country where there are already something like 400 million guns in circulation in the United States.
00:04:53.000In other news, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 85, broke three ribs in a fall.
00:04:59.000She apparently fell in her office at the Supreme Court.
00:05:02.000Tests showed she fractured three ribs on her left side.
00:05:04.000She was admitted for observation and treatment.
00:05:08.000Obviously, we pray for her recovery and that she should be in good health.
00:05:13.000But her health obviously has significant ramifications for the future of the Supreme Court.
00:05:18.000Were she to retire from the court, for example, then that would have a massive impact on the future.
00:05:22.000President Trump would still have the ability to appoint a replacement who presumably would be frontrunner Amy Coney Barrett.
00:05:27.000It's a little bit early to say that, but she's going to be okay, according to medical reports right now.
00:05:32.000Obviously, when older people fall, there's obviously a lot of speculation about what happens after that, because very often declining health begins with a fall sort of like this.
00:05:41.000This is not the first time, though, that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs.
00:05:43.000In June 2012, she fractured two ribs in a fall.
00:05:45.000She didn't disclose the injury to the public.
00:05:47.000Until months later, she hasn't missed a day on the court despite a couple of rounds of cancer as well as a fall in the past.
00:05:54.000She says that she wants to serve on the bench until she is 90.
00:05:57.000She is now 85, so she's hoping to outlive or at least stay on the court past President Trump's tenure in the White House.
00:07:01.000Giving President Trump credit for some key Senate victories in swing states, I think, is appropriate.
00:07:06.000He also gets the blame for Republicans alienating an enormous swath of the suburban vote, which ended with the Democrats taking districts like the Georgia 6th District.
00:07:15.000You remember that there was a special election in the Georgia 6th District just a few months back when John Ossoff ran against Karen Handel.
00:07:22.000Ossoff lost despite a lot of money pouring in while Karen Handel lost the seat.
00:07:53.000Everyone knows that the Democrats are going to investigate the president as far as they possibly can.
00:07:57.000President Trump kind of levying threats that the Senate is going to investigate or that he's going to use the executive branch to investigate.
00:08:29.000So here's President Trump yesterday talking about how awesome he was in the election.
00:08:33.000And again, this is somewhat justified by the Senate results.
00:08:37.000It is certainly not justified by the House results.
00:08:39.000But here was the president praising himself.
00:08:41.000It was a big day yesterday, an incredible day.
00:08:46.000And last night, the Republican Party defied history to expand our Senate majority while significantly beating expectations in the House for the midterm and midterm year.
00:09:04.000It is true that the Republican Party defied history and expanded their Senate majority.
00:09:08.000That was expected based on the polling data and based on the fact that Democrats were running a lot of vulnerable seats in purple to red states.
00:09:16.000The Republicans did not significantly beat expectations in the House.
00:09:43.000And my theory is maybe the most controversial theory of all.
00:09:46.000And that is that President Trump, while he is not a generic Republican, the electorate treats him like a generic Republican.
00:09:54.000He gets precisely the vote percentages you would expect from a generic Republican.
00:09:58.000He is treated by the press as they would treat a generic Republican, except more so.
00:10:02.000The president may act like he's out of the box because he is out of the box, but that does not mean that the response to him is out of the box.
00:10:08.000In fact, it is very much in line with Republican-Democrat breakdown all the way up till Barack Obama.
00:10:14.000Barack Obama is the sort of statistical outlier, not President Trump.
00:10:18.000President Trump has a vested interest, obviously, and so do the media, in suggesting that all of politics revolves around President Trump, a fact which I do not actually think is borne out statistically.
00:10:28.000But this leads President Trump to suggest that every candidate can be adjudicated, the quality of that candidate can be adjudicated based on how close they were to President Trump.
00:10:36.000So yesterday, in what can only be described as a pretty classless move,
00:10:40.000The president gets up at this press conference, and he rips into a bunch of Republicans in swing districts, and he says that if they'd only embraced him more closely, then they would have won their seats.
00:10:49.000Here he was, literally mocking other Republicans who lost their seats, who he could have used, you know, in places like the House.
00:12:18.000President Trump ripping into his own party members who didn't want to associate with him because they were in purple districts or in blue areas.
00:12:27.000Does he really believe that the solution there was more cowbell?
00:12:31.000That if Barbara Comstock had brought in Trump, she would have won that race?
00:12:34.000That if Mia Love had brought in Trump to a blue district in Utah, that that would have shifted the race?
00:12:40.000Of course that's untrue, but this is sort of the myth of Trump that's been created in the aftermath of the myth of Obama.
00:12:45.000The myth of Obama was that Obama had radically shifted American politics permanently.
00:12:48.000The myth of Trump is that he broke that radical shift.
00:12:51.000The reality is that Obama was a statistical outlier because he was a uniquely amazing candidate in many ways.
00:13:06.000But but the idea that Trump is some sort of magician with electoral votes is is just not supported by the evidence.
00:13:12.000I want to talk some more about President Trump's press conference, and then we'll get to the big the big hubbub of the day, which is, of course,
00:13:17.000Jim Acosta, who loves that dude, Jim Acosta.
00:13:20.000First, let's talk about how you can save some money.
00:13:23.000So these days, it is tough to get people to agree on practically anything, like legitimately anything.
00:13:26.000But there's one thing we should all be able to agree on.
00:13:28.000Saving money, a good thing, which is why you need Honey.
00:13:31.000It's a free shopping tool that automatically searches the Internet for the best promo codes every time you buy something online.
00:13:35.000You know, you used to have to search around on the Internet for promo codes for particular products or particular websites.
00:13:43.000Now, when you go to Honey, all you do is you sign up and then it automatically runs and then fills in the codes for you when you're shopping at places like Amazon, eBay, J.Crew, Walmart, Best Buy, Groupon, and more.
00:13:53.000It works on all of your favorite sites.
00:13:54.000It is indeed that free shopping tool that automatically searches the internet for the codes that save you cash.
00:14:00.000Honey has already saved listeners of this podcast an average of $26.34.
00:14:02.000We've used Honey in buying our Instant Pot,
00:15:20.000So, President Trump says that basically he doesn't want to work with Democrats if Democrats don't want to work with him.
00:15:27.000If they do want to work with him, then he's happy to work with them, but he is not going to make deals with them while they decide that they are going to crack down on his tax returns, for example.
00:15:36.000So here's President Trump talking about that.
00:16:00.000But they can play that game, but we can play it better because we have a thing called the United States Senate.
00:16:07.000And a lot of very questionable things were done between leaks of classified information and many other elements that should not have taken place.
00:16:19.000Now people are very upset about President Trump for saying that partisan investigations will take place on a responsive basis.
00:16:26.000I'm not sure why they're upset about that.
00:16:27.000It's pretty obvious that partisan investigations are going to take place on a partisan basis.
00:16:31.000That's what Democrats have been doing.
00:16:33.000Okay, then Trump moves to his... Let's get to the actual meat of the matter.
00:16:38.000So the meat of the matter, all of this went by the wayside because President Trump is in this knock-down, drag-out fight with CNN.
00:16:45.000And this has been going on since legitimately he was campaigning.
00:17:03.000Every possible arena in which Jim Acosta can show how much he loves Jim Acosta, he does.
00:17:09.000I mean, dude buys himself flowers, takes himself out for dates.
00:17:12.000I mean, the other day, he bought himself an engagement ring, and then he told himself that he couldn't get engaged to himself because that's still illegal, but someday in the future, love will be known as love.
00:18:35.000What you're seeing now, and what you're about to see, is a white-out intern kind of pops up, and she goes to grab the microphone from Acosta.
00:18:41.000She tries to get the microphone from Acosta by reaching over his left arm twice, and then she reaches under his left arm, and his left arm either falls or pushes down.
00:18:51.000People are suggesting that Acosta is trying to force her away.
00:20:09.000Mr. President, over the course- Okay, so a couple of things can be true.
00:20:14.000As you know, I do not like it when the President says that CNN, even when they report fake news, are the enemy of the people.
00:20:19.000That's not language that ought to be used about people in the United States, enemy of the people, unless they're actual terrorists.
00:20:24.000But, with that said, when the President is ripping on Jim Acosta, Jim Acosta deserves every rip that he receives there.
00:20:30.000Everything the president says about Jim Acosta, about how he is rude to people and how he is grandstanding and about how he is attempting to push himself at the expense of all the other reporters in the room, all of that's right.
00:20:39.000Well, this broke into the open because the White House then denied Jim Acosta his hard pass.
00:20:44.000Well, a hard pass is basically a security clearance.
00:20:46.000It says that you don't have to get checked for security every time you walk onto White House grounds.
00:20:51.000So last night, about 8 o'clock, Jim Acosta tried to go to the White House to do his report from outside the White House.
00:20:55.000They said, we've revoked your hard pass.
00:21:00.000No, I think Jim Acosta is a bad reporter.
00:21:02.000Not only is he a bad reporter, I think what they should have done is they should have said, listen, there are certain procedures in this room.
00:21:06.000The procedure is that once you ask your question and the president answers your question, we are done.
00:21:11.000And if he doesn't want to answer more questions from you, he is under no obligation to do so.
00:21:14.000Nor is he under an obligation to hold up the entire show while you sit there and rant at him.
00:21:19.000That's not a thing that has to be done.
00:21:21.000So I think the best possible solution, by the way, would not be to ban Jim Acosta.
00:21:24.000It would be to just not allow Jim Acosta to ask a question in the White House press room anymore.
00:21:29.000First of all, I think a lot of these press conferences are a waste of time.
00:21:31.000I think the amount of new information received at these press conferences is nearly nil.
00:21:35.000It is basically grandstanding and TV nonsense.
00:21:38.000But with that said, Jim Acosta can be both a disgrace.
00:21:44.000His language on the press can be wrong.
00:21:46.000Two, Jim Acosta can be a disgrace to his profession who should be immediately replaced forthwith by CNN.
00:21:50.000Both of those things can absolutely be true.
00:21:53.000Well, in a second, we're going to get to CNN's response to all of this, plus the overblown response of the White House a little bit, a little bit.
00:22:00.000I mean, they're right that Acosta's terrible, but they're wrong in another aspect.
00:22:06.000Let's talk about making your business better.

00:22:41.000We use it here at the DailyWire offices to get rid of bad employees and replace them with better ones.
00:22:45.000CNN should do the same at ZipRecruiter.com slash DailyWire because the fact is Jim Acosta is bad at his job, but
00:23:43.000She said, this conduct is, she said, President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration.
00:23:50.000We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern.
00:23:55.000This conduct is absolutely unacceptable.
00:23:57.000It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter's colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question.
00:24:03.000President Trump has given the press more access than any president in history.
00:24:08.000Here's the part that I think you don't need to do.
00:24:10.000And the idea again, watching the video, the phrase put his hands on a young woman suggested he sort of grabbed her.
00:24:58.000Anyway, CNN responded to all of this with their usual outrage and ire.
00:25:04.000This president's ongoing attacks on the press have gone too far.
00:25:07.000Ooh, America is in danger because Jim Acosta can no longer grandstand.
00:25:11.000They're not only dangerous, they're disturbingly un-American.
00:25:13.000While President Trump has made it clear he does not respect a free press, he has a sworn obligation to protect it, a free press is vital to democracy, and we stand behind Jim Acosta and his fellow journalists everywhere.
00:26:32.000Again, a few things can be true at once.
00:26:34.000It can be true that Jim Acosta is terrible at his job.
00:26:37.000It can be true that President Trump thrives on this sort of conflict.
00:26:40.000And how do you know that he thrives on this sort of conflict?
00:26:42.000Because the biggest story of the day, we're now like half an hour into our show, okay?
00:26:46.000And the biggest story of the day has not even been touched.
00:26:48.000So what was the biggest story of the day?
00:26:50.000The President of the United States fired his Attorney General yesterday.
00:26:54.000All anyone is talking about is Jim Acosta.
00:26:56.000Because President Trump knows that all he has to do is ding the egos of a couple of people in the press, and then they will just spin off into the outer darkness for the rest of time, forgetting to ask actual questions about actual things that are going on.
00:27:11.000Also, I would point out, let's look at the disparity in coverage today between President Trump and Jim Acosta on CNN.
00:27:17.000People are dying by the hands of the police.
00:28:49.000And of course, there are apologists, including the ridiculously stupid Matt Iglesias over at Vox.com, the repository of all stupidity.
00:28:58.000And again, there are some people at Vox who are not stupid.
00:29:00.000I have friends who work for Vox, but if you are looking for a stupid take, Vox is a good place to start.
00:29:05.000Matt Iglesias wrote, I think the idea behind terrorizing his family, like it or not, is strategy, is to make them feel some of the fear that the victims of MAGA-inspired violence feel, thanks to the nonstop racial incitement coming from Tucker.
00:29:17.000And then he said, I think this is probably not tactically sound, but if your instinct is to empathize with the fear of the Carlson family rather than with the fear of his victims, then you should take a moment to reflect on why that is.
00:29:28.000Um, because they tried to break into his house last night?
00:29:33.000Just ugly, ugly stuff from the media, but we'll see how they cover things today.
00:29:38.000I have my doubts that they will cover it in an honest way, or cover it at all.
00:29:41.000We'll get a lot more about how President Trump is an ever-present threat to the press, but, you know, the, but, but protesters showing up at Tucker Carlson's house trying to break down his front door, not actually a threat to the press.
00:29:52.000Okay, I want to get to the firing of Just Sessions, what it means, what it doesn't mean, in just one second.
00:29:57.000But first, let's talk about what you are wearing on your butt right now.
00:30:00.000And I'm talking about underwear, because guys, the holidays are coming fast and things are about to get uncomfortable between the crazy travel schedules and awkward family gatherings.
00:30:08.000Now is not the time to be in uncomfortable underwear.
00:30:10.000Thankfully, there's Tommy John, the revolutionary clothing company that is redefining comfort for both men and women.
00:30:15.000Tommy John has the most comfortable underwear on the planet.
00:30:20.000They're the perfect gift, especially for guys who constantly adjust.
00:30:23.000Tommy John underwear sported, no wedgie guarantee, comfortable, stay puss waistbands, a range of fabrics that are luxuriously soft, feather light, moisture wicking.
00:30:32.000So if you're still on the fence wondering if Tommy John would be a memorable gift, think of all the adjusting and tugging you're never going to have to do again or see again when you go to TommyJohn.com.
00:31:00.000They also are extraordinarily durable.
00:31:02.000I mean, really, you wash them many, many times, they don't fall apart like the brand name stuff that you get from the store that's cheaper and falls apart easily.
00:32:16.000We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast in the nation.
00:32:23.000So the actual big news of the day is that the Attorney General is gone.
00:32:28.000So there was a lot of talk about how Attorney General Sessions was in serious trouble.
00:32:34.000He'd been in serious trouble for a long time.
00:32:36.000President Trump spent an awful lot of time ripping on him on Twitter.
00:32:39.000And people like me would be like, dude, you picked him.
00:32:41.000And Trump, every couple of weeks, would be like, And he was very angry at Jeff Sessions because Sessions, very early on, recused himself from the Trump-Russia investigation because he was involved in the campaign.
00:32:59.000And that meant that Rod Rosenstein was overseeing the Mueller investigation.
00:33:02.000Well, the Mueller investigation is getting about ready to wrap.
00:33:04.000We're going to find out in the next few weeks what is in there.
00:33:07.000They are apparently putting the final touches on their report, which will, I am sure, be a grenade thrown into the midst of our already chaotic politics.
00:33:36.000Donald Trump tweeted out, we are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the DOJ, will become our new acting Attorney General of the United States.
00:33:45.000We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service and wish him well.
00:33:48.000A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.
00:33:50.000Jeff Sessions put out a letter in which he began by saying, at your request, I am submitting my resignation, which means that Trump fired him.
00:33:57.000And he talked about how he tried to abide by the law.
00:34:00.000I always thought Jeff Sessions was unfairly maligned.
00:34:03.000You may disagree with him on a number of issues.
00:34:05.000I do with regard to, for example, drug prosecutions.
00:34:08.000But that does not actually change the fact that unlike his predecessors under the Obama administration, he actually did attempt
00:34:15.000He was not using the DOJ as a political weapon of the White House, nor was he acting as rearguard for the President of the United States, which I think is good.
00:34:25.000I mean, he's the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.
00:34:29.000Sessions' ouster has created all sorts of consternation because the acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker is a little bit more on record with regard to a wide variety of issues.
00:34:38.000So, in 2016, he argued that Hillary Clinton should have been criminally charged for her use of a private email server, which, again, I don't see why that's disqualifying.
00:34:47.000I think virtually everyone in law enforcement who is not a Clinton devotee believes this.
00:34:52.000But more importantly, he also commented back in 2017 that he thinks that the Mueller investigation was overreaching.
00:34:59.000In August 2017, he said, Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election meddling investigation he is dangerously close to crossing.
00:35:06.000It does not take a lawyer or even a former federal prosecutor like me to conclude that investigating Donald Trump's finances or his family's finances falls completely outside the realm of his 2016 campaign and allegations that the campaign coordinated with the Russian government or anyone else.
00:35:21.000So this has led a lot of folks on the Democratic side of the aisle to be deeply fearful that Trump is installing Whitaker specifically to hamstring whatever ancillary investigations spring from the Mueller investigation.
00:35:32.000Now, we haven't been talking about that because we've been talking about midterms.
00:35:35.000We've been talking about fights with Jim Acosta.
00:36:34.000There's no indicator that there's been any sort of boundaries put on the Mueller investigation at all by Sessions or Whitaker.
00:36:41.000When that starts to happen, then I think that we can fairly ask whether the president is trying to put the kibosh on it.
00:36:45.000But up till now, I've seen no evidence of that.
00:36:48.000Not going to stop the Democrats from alarmism, of course.
00:36:50.000On a certain level, this is worse than Watergate, because the Saturday Night Massacre, he kept firing Senate-confirmed people until he found Bork, who was a Senate-confirmed person, to do this.
00:37:02.000Okay, no, it is not worse than Watergate and that's a wild exaggeration.
00:37:05.000Chuck Schumer says the timing is suspect because obviously this is the day after midterms and now Trump gets rid of Sessions.
00:37:11.000The idea here is that by getting rid of Sessions with a Republican larger majority in the Senate, now Trump has the capacity to put in a person of his choosing.
00:37:20.000The rumor today, the rumor today, is that it will be Chris Christie as his Attorney General, which just...
00:38:02.000It seems to me that the President should put into place somebody with a serious legal background and the capacity to actually treat the DOJ as the chief law enforcement tool of the United States, which it basically is.
00:38:15.000Here's Chuck Schumer saying the timing is suspect.
00:38:52.000Mr. I was held in contempt of Congress for covering up my involvement in Fast and Furious, and then the president asserted executive privilege to shield me from prosecution?
00:40:16.000He had created a list of the eight most progressive Democrats running, and all eight of them lost in the midterms.
00:40:22.000So, the Democrats are upset because they had this mythical version of what the United States was that was
00:40:28.000Pretty roundly refuted during the midterm elections.
00:40:31.000This has led to an outsized amount of rage on the left.
00:40:33.000So the chief target of such ire has been white women.
00:40:38.000So this was the next intersectional group to go.
00:40:40.000As I've always said, there's an intersectional hierarchy of victimhood.
00:40:43.000If you are at the top of that intersectional hierarchy, then your opinion means everything.
00:40:47.000If you are at the bottom of that intersectional hierarchy, your opinion means nothing and you must shut up.
00:40:51.000At the bottom are white men, followed by white women.
00:40:54.000So the Women's March, which is filled with anti-Semites at the top level.
00:40:57.000And by the way, I have to stop here and give credit to Alyssa Milano, who did the right thing.
00:41:01.000Alyssa Milano came out and said she is no longer going to associate with the Women's March so long as Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory remain a part of the leadership and refuse to condemn Louis Farrakhan.
00:42:59.000It's like both sides want to lose the suburbs.
00:43:01.000Seriously, like Donald Trump will not spend five minutes reaching out to the suburbs.
00:43:05.000And so he gets swamped in the suburbs.
00:43:06.000And meanwhile, the far left progressive Democrats are telling white women that they're a bunch of gender traitors.
00:43:12.000So it's like everyone is just slapping around the suburbs and the suburbs have to decide whether they're going to move with the progressive left or they're going to move with Donald Trump.
00:43:20.000I swear, if somebody were to just shake hands with anyone in the suburbs, they would win the suburbs.
00:43:28.000So Cocaine Mitch, who has proved himself to be one of the most apt political operators of our time, he sent a majority leader talking to Dana Perino yesterday.
00:43:34.000He says, listen, we got to reach out to the suburbs.
00:44:08.000If Republicans want to win, then they will listen to Mitch McConnell, because Mitch McConnell, if he's proved anything, that dude is a survivor.
00:44:15.000And his Senate majority grew last the other night.
00:44:18.000So again, I think that let's not be distracted by all of the battles
00:44:24.000Between the media and Trump, let's not be distracted even by all of the Mueller stuff.
00:44:29.000Let's focus on what really matters, and that is the lives of people across the United States.
00:44:33.000If the Republicans focus on that, I think that they win big in 2020.
00:44:35.000If they don't, I think they lose big in 2020.
00:44:42.000I have to admit that I always enjoy Michael Moore's political analysis.
00:44:46.000He came out yesterday and he said that President Trump is an evil genius.
00:44:49.000It's always fun to watch Michael Moore pump up President Trump.
00:44:53.000Okay, so he's an evil genius, President Trump.
00:44:56.000I do love that this is—the Democrats can't decide whether he's an evil genius or whether he's a dunce.
00:45:14.000The real answer, as I've said before, is that President Trump is a stand-in for generic Republican, and people don't like Democrats right now.
00:45:20.000That's pretty much what's happening here.
00:45:22.000The only area in which President Trump... He's good at two things.
00:46:24.000So, well done everyone on failing basic civics.
00:46:27.000Everyone seems to be doing a fantastic job.
00:46:29.000Okay, time for a quick thing that I hate.
00:46:34.000So I wasn't sure whether to put this in Things I Like or Things I Hate, but it is a hilarious story.
00:46:38.000So this is according to the UK Telegraph.
00:46:40.000A pensioner in... This looks like a pensioner in Denmark.
00:46:45.000He has begun a legal battle to be recognized as being 20 years younger than his actual age, so he can go back to work and achieve greater success with women on Tinder.
00:46:57.000He argues that if transgender people are allowed to change sex, he should be allowed to change his date of birth because doctors said he has the body of a 45-year-old.
00:47:14.000So, the entrepreneur and self-help guru is suing his local authority after they refused to amend his age-unofficial documents.
00:47:20.000His case has now gone to a court in the city of Arnhem, in the eastern Dutch province of Gelderland.
00:47:26.000The case has caused controversy in his homeland, where the Dutch edition of Vice, a news website, asked, is Emile Ratelband disturbed or accidentally extremely woke?
00:47:36.000And that would be the question, right?
00:47:38.000Because they are the same thing, being extremely woke and being disturbed.
00:47:42.000Now the crossover, like, if you had a Venn diagram of extremely woke and disturbed, the Venn diagram is just a circle.
00:47:49.000Okay, Mr. Rattlebun was born on March 11, 1949.
00:47:53.000He says he feels at least 20 years younger.
00:47:55.000He wants to change his birth date to March 11, 1969.
00:48:07.000When I'm on Tinder and I say I'm 69, I don't get an answer.
00:48:09.000When I'm 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.
00:48:13.000Transgenders can now have their gender changed on their birth certificate.
00:48:16.000In the same spirit, there should be room for an age change.
00:48:20.000Okay, there are some of us, there are some of us who actually made this, used this as an example, used this as an example of why transgenderism is bad logic.
00:48:31.000In fact, there are videos that some of us have cut.
00:48:33.000With, like, 70 million views, in which we ask this exact question.
00:48:38.000So, good for this guy, because I love it.
00:48:41.000The court said there would be practical problems.
00:48:44.000Okay, so the judge said he had some sympathy with Mr. Rattleband, as people could now change their gender, which would have once been unthinkable.
00:48:49.000But the court said there'd be practical problems in allowing people to change their birth date, as it would mean legally deleting part of their lives.
00:48:56.000Oh, you mean like legally deleting the part of your life where you are biologically male, as in your entire life, if you're a transgender female?
00:49:04.000Or legally deleting even the part of your life where you identified as a member of the other gender?
00:49:08.000The judge asked Mr. Rattleband about the status of his early years from 1949 to 1969, if his official birthday was put back.
00:49:14.000He said, for whom did your parents care in those years?
