Dems claim that criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar is incitement, and that her views are being "soft" on 9/11. Is it possible that the Democrats are trying to silence her because she is critical of them?

00:02:01.000And the First Amendment is predicated on the notion that speech is not violence.
00:02:04.000That if I say something critical of you, I am not being violent toward you, Then you can rebut my statement without you being violent toward me.
00:02:12.000The moment we equate speech with violence, we have now provided an excuse for government to step in and shut down speech.
00:02:18.000Because after all, it is the government's job to prevent externalities.
00:02:21.000The basic rule of thumb when it comes to government, as articulated by John Stuart Mill, is you get to wave your hand around in any direction until you hit me in the face.
00:02:30.000I get to say whatever I want, and so long as I am not actively inciting violence, telling people to come to your house and kill you, or encouraging people to do so, As long as I'm not doing those things, I am not inciting violence.
00:02:41.000And in fact, it is more likely to break down our public discourse for you to continually suggest that I am inciting violence than is my criticism of you.
00:02:51.000To suggest that somebody is speaking In a way that incites violence when they are not in fact inciting violence is merely an excuse to silence them.
00:02:58.000And this is the latest Democratic tactic.
00:03:00.000After the Democrats have spent years demonizing Republicans.
00:03:03.000After they have said that Donald Trump is not human.
00:03:06.000Representative Ilhan Omar said about three weeks ago that Donald Trump was not a human being.
00:03:11.000After the Democrats demonized Brett Kavanaugh calling him a gang rapist.
00:03:14.000After they suggested that the Covington boys, the Covington Catholic high school boys, were a bunch of racist bigots.
00:03:21.000After all of that, now the Democrats have suggested that if you critique Ilhan Omar for being soft on 9-11 and being soft on terrorism more broadly, you are inciting violence against her.
00:03:52.000You expect Democrats to be badly motivated in how they attack Republican speech.
00:03:56.000They've been doing this for a very long time.
00:03:58.000Never mind that after a Bernie Sanders supporter went and shot up a congressional baseball game, nearly murdered the House majority whip at the time, Steve Scalise, there was zero discussion about Bernie Sanders' rhetoric and whether it incited violence.
00:04:11.000Although you could certainly say that if the new standard of Democrats, that extreme rhetoric, that loud rhetoric, that hot rhetoric, that that incites violence, if you use that standard, then Bernie Sanders is guilty.
00:04:21.000But I don't agree that that standard should be used.
00:04:23.000And at the time, neither did Democrats.
00:04:26.000Well now, the media have changed their tune.
00:04:28.000Everything that President Trump says incites violence, everything said against Republicans, is basically justified.
00:04:34.000When Michael Knowles, who works for us over at Daily Wire, went to a university just last week, and somebody physically assaulted him by spraying him with a liquid that, at the time, people thought was bleach.
00:04:43.000When that happened, the Kansas City Star came forward and suggested that Knowles and the person who shot him with liquid were engaged in a tit-for-tat.
00:04:52.000So, in other words, Knowles said stuff, and somebody assaulted him, and those were the same thing.
00:04:57.000When I was on national television and I was talking to a transgender person by the name of Zoe Tur, and I termed Zoe Tur, sir, because the entire question was about whether biological males can be females.
00:05:08.000And then Zoe Tur proceeded to grab me by the back of the neck on national television and threatened to send me home in an ambulance.
00:05:13.000The media treated it as though my words and his actions were equivalent.
00:05:44.000And people said, um, that's a pretty disparaging way of talking about 9-11.
00:05:48.000Now, I looked at that tape, and I thought, yeah, she's obviously sort of dismissing it, and it fits within a broader worldview of her dismissing terrorism.
00:05:55.000I read you twice last week on the podcast, I read you twice on the radio show, the letter that she sent to a judge in 2016 in which she recommended leniency for people who joined ISIS on the grounds that they had been marginalized.
00:06:08.000This is a person who suggested in a column in Time Magazine that America was founded on slavery and genocide, and in order to avoid discussing that, we had cast aspersions at international terrorism.
00:06:19.000This is not somebody who takes terrorism seriously.
00:06:22.000But if you mention any of that, if you quote her, and if you draw a conclusion, then this apparently is tantamount to some sort of incitement.
00:06:28.000Now, President Trump jumped on the bandwagon on Friday.
00:06:32.000He tweeted out a video that his team put together of Ilhan Omar talking about 9-11 along with footage from 9-11 to remind everybody that if you are dismissing 9-11, here is what you are dismissing.
00:06:42.000CARE was founded after 9-11 because they recognized that some people did something.
00:07:42.000How about she said what she said and then the footage juxtaposed to what she said That's not only an element of free speech, that is also a fair critique of Ilhan Omar not taking 9-11 seriously enough.
00:07:55.000Representative Omar still has not said what would be the easiest thing in the world to say.
00:07:59.000Seriously, it would have been the easiest thing.
00:08:00.000The day after Representative Dan Crenshaw tweeted out the video, the day after it started being publicized, all Ilhan Omar had to say is, my broader point was obviously, it wasn't obvious, but my broader point was obviously that people who are not the mainstream of the Muslim world committed an awful evil terrorist act, and then the impact was on Muslims more broadly, and that was a terrible thing.
00:08:21.000But I never meant to downplay 9-11, and any suggestion that I did is off-base.
00:08:53.000Really weird, Ilhan Omar, because I seem to remember when three times in the last four months, you have made openly anti-Semitic statements.
00:09:00.000You claimed that Jews were engaged in dual loyalty and Israel supporters were engaged in dual loyalty for the state of Israel.
00:09:05.000You suggested that American Jewish money was behind the American support for Israel.
00:09:13.000And you suggested also that the Jews were responsible for hypnotizing the world.
00:09:18.000I mean, all of this happened in the last four months.
00:09:20.000Over and over and over, you said anti-Semitic things.
00:09:23.000And hate crimes against Jews are up significantly around the world, and particularly in the United States.
00:09:28.000I don't remember any arguments about Ilhan Omar's language helping to incite violence.
00:09:49.000And then she puts out this long statement on Twitter.
00:09:52.000Since the president's tweet Friday evening, I have experienced an increase in direct threats on my life, many directly referencing or replying to the president's video.
00:09:59.000I thank the Capitol Police, the FBI, the House Sergeant at Arms and the Speaker of the House for their attention to these threats.
00:10:05.000Violent crimes and other acts of hate by right-wing extremists and white nationalists are on the rise in this country and around the world.
00:10:11.000Okay, first of all, it is not totally clear that other acts of hate by right-wing extremists in the United States are actually on the rise in this country.
00:11:02.000Or was it simply quoting her next to footage of the thing she was talking about?
00:11:06.000This playing victim routine, where she is a prominent politician on the cover of national magazines, on the cover of Rolling Stone, alongside Nancy Pelosi.
00:11:14.000And the idea is that if you quote her, and you point out that she has a perverse worldview, That when you suggest that, that that is some sort of initiation or incitement of violence against her?
00:11:24.000This is a pure, easy tactic for shutting down debate.
00:11:28.000And I take my share of crap, let me tell you.
00:11:31.000I have security nearly full time and I have for, at this point, months and years because of the amount of hate and the number of death threats that I get.
00:12:08.000We'll get to more of this in just a second.
00:12:09.000First, getting fit and staying healthy always sounds easier said than done, right?
00:12:13.000Well, OpenFit is bringing you something new that makes it even easier to never miss a sweat session.
00:12:18.000Lose the commute to the gym, let the workouts come to you.
00:12:21.000OpenFit takes all the complexity out of losing weight and getting fit.
00:12:23.000I like to work out every day, and OpenFit makes it possible when I'm on the road.
00:12:27.000Every night when I go home, my wife, who works very long hours, we work out together using OpenFit.
00:12:31.000OpenFit is a brand new, super simple streaming service that allows you to work out from the comfort of your living room in as little as 10 minutes a day.
00:13:46.000The press and the Democrats keep pushing forward this narrative that President Trump and people who have criticized Ilhan Omar, Representative Dan Crenshaw, they're responsible for incitement.
00:13:53.000It demonstrates the full-scale bad faith of people making the argument, particularly in the press, when you look at the sort of rhetoric that the left has been using for years at this point.
00:14:04.000The Southern Poverty Law Center labeled the Family Research Council a hate group.
00:14:09.000Just within a few weeks, a person named, well I won't name him because he was a shooter, a shooter walked into the headquarters at the Family Research Council and shot up the Family Research Council and nearly killed a guard, an armed guard.
00:14:22.000The Southern Poverty Law Center continued to be used as a source by most of the media until their well-deserved collapse in the last couple of months.
00:14:30.000Bernie Sanders, again, one of his supporters, shot up a congressional baseball game.
00:14:33.000It was out of the news inside of a week.
00:14:35.000Donald Trump tweets out a video that includes a quote from a sitting congresswoman who is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee juxtaposed with the things she's talking about.
00:15:14.000It's actually despicable what she tweeted out.
00:15:16.000So she tweeted out, This wonderful fresh face of the Democratic Congress.
00:15:20.000Quote, Okay, and then she tweets out that famous poem from the Reverend Niemöller, I believe.
00:15:43.000The first they came for the socialists, and I was not a socialist, so I said nothing.
00:15:46.000And then they came for the trade unionists, and then they came for the Jews, and then finally when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.
00:15:55.000She's invoking the Holocaust in order to defend the worst anti-Semite in Congress.
00:16:00.000So Ilhan Omar, who keeps saying anti-Semitic things over and over and over to the point where members of her own party have gone to AIPAC and condemned her.
00:16:07.000I'm talking specifically about Steini Hoyer, the House Majority Whip.
00:16:32.000And then you have radicals, insane people like Max Berger.
00:16:35.000And you can see the true agenda here in this particular tweet.
00:16:39.000Max Berger happens to be the co-founder of If Not Now, which is a wildly anti-Israel, far-left garbage organization that spends most of its days slandering Israel and trying to make time on behalf of terror apologists.
00:16:54.000So Max Berger tweets out, "Jews need to understand that Muslims now play the role we have played throughout our history.
00:17:00.000They are blamed for the failures of people in power.
00:17:02.000In this time of rising fascism, American Jews must defend Ilhan Omar and our Muslim brothers and sisters with all our might." If I could, I would flip the double bird to Max Berger.
00:17:13.000What a disastrous, disgusting piece of garbage tweet that is.
00:17:45.000But this is the intersectional world view.
00:17:47.000Ilhan Omar gets to say whatever the F she wants about Jews, because Ilhan Omar is a Somali woman who is Muslim.
00:17:53.000And so she gets to say whatever she wants about Jews, she gets to say whatever she wants about 9-11, and no one is supposed to say anything.
00:17:58.000And if you say something, you're inciting against her and victimizing her.
00:18:02.000And the Jews who are victimized by Ilhan Omar, the Jews who are called dual loyalists, the Jews who it is suggested are the font and the wellspring of evil in the world by people like Ilhan Omar.
00:18:18.000Those people really need to point, they need to just cede the mantle of victimhood to Ilhan Omar, who really is the true victim.
00:18:24.000A young woman who has spent some time in America, you know, she's been here since 12, since age 12, a refugee taken in by the most generous country on the face of the earth, and then put in Congress with no record other than being herself.
00:18:59.000Because it seems to me that Jews have experienced some violent attacks before.
00:19:06.000The only way I have Ilhan Omar's back is that she has the right to say what she wants to say.
00:19:15.000Every other way I absolutely do not have her back, and neither do the vast majority of Jews in the country who have been targeted by her hateful rhetoric over and over and over again.
00:19:23.000And I don't care how many covers of magazines she appears on.
00:19:26.000And I don't give a damn how many Democratic leaders come out and suggest that she is the victim of violence.
00:19:32.000That is not the same thing as being a victim of violence.
00:19:34.000And if people send her death threats, those people should be arrested.
00:19:37.000But that is not the same thing as the president pointing out a thing she said.
00:19:41.000Nancy Pelosi playing the same stupid game.
00:19:43.000She tweeted out, Donald Trump's dangerous video must be taken down.
00:19:46.000I have spoken with the sergeant-at-arms to ensure that Capitol Police are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Representative Omar, her family, and her staff.
00:19:54.000They will continue to monitor and address the threats she faces." And then she tweeted out, following the president's tweet, I spoke with the sergeant-at-arms, and then it's her, and then it says, the president's words weigh a ton, and his hateful and inflammatory rhetoric creates real danger.
00:20:33.000And yet Democrats demonstrating the death of the liberal mentality that I disagree with what you say, but I'll die for your right to say it.
00:21:05.000One of your supporters shot up a bunch of Congress people about two years ago, dude.
00:21:10.000I don't remember a huge conversation about your dangerous attacks on everybody who opposed your Medicare for All plan, which you said was responsible.
00:21:18.000People's refusal of that plan was responsible for tens of thousands of dead, according to you.
00:21:22.000I don't remember that conversation being called dangerous.
00:22:07.000First, nobody wants to feel like they're overpaying while shopping online.
00:22:10.000But did you know there's an easy way to get the lowest price?

00:23:12.000Joinhoney.com slash Ben will start working for you and saving you money.
00:23:16.000So other Democratic candidates come out and they mirror the AOC, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi lie that if you criticize Ilhan Omar, you're responsible for violence.
00:23:26.000This, shortly after, AOC suggests that it's like the Holocaust to criticize Ilhan Omar.
00:23:31.000Jay Inslee, who's running a quixotic, idiotic campaign for the presidency, he has no shot, he's tweeting out, Question, how is he putting all Muslim Americans in harm's way?
00:23:39.000at Tordail Han Omar is jeopardizing her safety.
00:23:42.000He is deliberately putting her and all Muslim Americans in harm's way.
00:23:45.000Question, how is he putting all Muslim Americans in harm's way?
00:23:48.000Did all Muslim Americans call 9-11 some people did something?
00:23:52.000Did all of them suggest radically anti-Semitic stuff?
00:24:02.000If it's this low, then it seems to me that your criticism of President Trump is inciting violence against President Trump.
00:24:07.000Hell, somebody set himself on fire in front of the White House on Friday.
00:24:10.000Elizabeth Warren says the president is inciting violence against a sitting congresswoman and an entire group of Americans based on their religion.
00:24:21.000How did he incite violence against an entire group of Americans based on their religion?
00:24:25.000It seems to me that if you're talking about inciting violence against groups based on religion, your party, Elizabeth Warren, is in the midst of doing that if we're going to use your standard of incitement.
00:24:33.000I mean, you're the ones who are propping up anti-Semites, open anti-Semites like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
00:24:40.000Elizabeth Warren knows better than this, but she's a joke who's looking for attention.
00:24:43.000She says that the president's rhetoric is disgusting, it's shameful, and any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it.
00:25:58.000I think that it is what she's experiencing right now She does not deserve, from what she said in her speech, she does not deserve the kind of vicious, hate-filled attacks that she's experiencing, threats on her life right now.
00:26:14.000We all, as Americans, just say that's outrageous and unacceptable.
00:26:17.000And what Donald Trump is doing is he's making life dangerous, not just for her, but for other Muslim Americans.
00:26:23.000Now, look how he avoids the question, right?
00:26:24.000The question was, what do you think of her statements?
00:26:26.000And he says, well, her treatment is really bad.
00:27:28.000It has to be that Ilhan Omar trotted out this garbage defense and the Democratic leadership decided it's time for everybody to get on the same page.
00:27:34.000And everybody is now going to kowtow to the woke portion of the base that chants speech and violence and speeches like mine and equate actual acts of violence against right-wingers with speech by right-wingers.
00:27:47.000Now, hilariously enough, it is fascinating to see how Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and AOC truly have the Democratic leadership by the cojones here.
00:28:00.000Rashida Tlaib, in the midst of all this, in the midst of all the Democrats coming up, And defending, and defending Ilhan Omar for saying garbage things on a regular basis.
00:28:09.000Rashida Tlaib, who also says garbage things on a regular basis, but happens to be slightly more sophisticated about it.
00:28:14.000She tweets out, To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us.
00:28:17.000So in other words, you have to shut up and listen to us.
00:28:19.000at the table or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for, and why we ran in the first place, we are ignored.
00:28:25.000To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us.
00:28:28.000So in other words, you have to shut up and listen to us.
00:28:31.000That's Rashida Tlaib saying that to Nancy Pelosi.
00:28:41.000Now, why should people take Rashida Tlaib's views seriously?
00:28:45.000She is one of 435 elected congresspeople.
00:28:47.000Why should her views have outsized impact?
00:28:49.000Particularly, since Rashida Tlaib happens to be a radical anti-Semite who spends a lot of time associating with radical anti-Semites.
00:28:57.000You'll recall that there was a person named Abbas Hamideh.
00:29:00.000He tweeted out, quote, I was honored to be a congresswoman Rashida Tlaib swearing in ceremony in Detroit and private dinner afterward with the entire family, friends and activists across the country.
00:29:16.000So who exactly is Abbas Hamadeh, who's standing there in the picture, presenting her a picture of herself?
00:29:20.000Here's a tweet he sent over the weekend.
00:29:21.000Quote, the dangerous part about a Jew landing on the moon is that 3,000 years from now, Zionist ideology could claim ownership of the moon.
00:29:37.000OK, so the guy named Yona Lieberman tweeted, American Jewish leaders led the fight to publicly undermine Ilhan Omar after a comment about AIPAC.
00:29:43.000To make up for that, they now need to lead the fight in her favor.
00:29:46.000Abbas Hamidi tweets, I concur with this Jew.
00:29:48.000American Jews started this slander against Ilhan Omar because she called AIPAC out.
00:29:55.000Because it seems like everybody who is pro-Israel and pro-Jewish pointed out that what she said was anti-Semitic, including Democratic leaders.
00:30:05.000Arab Jews who turned criminal Zionists.
00:30:07.000Don't cry about not being wanted by your Arab nations.
00:30:09.000You can't be trusted just like European occupiers.
00:30:12.000Enjoy Poland one day with the rest of your fellow European criminal invaders.
00:30:16.000That was your choice, not the choice of Arab countries.
00:30:19.000In other words, destroy Israel, send all the Jews back to Poland.
00:30:23.000Abbas Hamideh, close friend of Rashida Tlaib.
00:30:25.000Clearly, this is a person whose views should be taken incredibly seriously.
00:30:29.000I mean, this is a person who she needs to be taken seriously and my criticism of her probably is inciting violence according to the democratic standard.
00:30:37.000If I read those tweets and I point out that this person is a close friend of Rashida Tlaib, then this obviously is inciting violence in some way.
00:30:44.000Never mind that people do this kind of stuff to every public figure.
00:30:47.000Never mind that I myself have been taken out of context repeatedly, routinely throughout my career.
00:30:58.000Now, in a second, I'll show you that the Democratic leadership is deeply uncomfortable with all of this, but they have to pretend to like it.
00:31:05.000It's pretty incredible, as I say, how these new Democratic Congresswomen, because they are woke and diverse and intersectional, really have the Democratic Party by the short hairs.
00:32:04.000We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:32:08.000Okay, so the Democrats are clearly uncomfortable with all of this, but they've been forced into a corner by featuring the woke Congress people hoping to duplicate the Obama 2012 coalition.
00:32:25.000Oh, we'll get outsized minority votes if we feature these woke congresspeople.
00:32:31.000I mean, Nancy Pelosi, I've never seen Nancy Pelosi look more uncomfortable than when she is talking about Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC, because she knows that these radical congresspeople are driving the Democratic Party away from the middle of the country.
00:32:43.000And I don't mean, like, the physical middle of the country.
00:32:45.000I mean from anyone who considers themselves moderate or independent or even liberal.
00:32:50.000These new woke congresspeople are driving those people away from the Democratic Party.
00:34:05.000But this mentality has spread throughout the Democratic Party.
00:34:09.000The Democratic Party, the top levels of it, and the progressive woke base, they've decided to participate in this Maoist system where either you must shut up and listen to the most intersectional among us, Or we are going to call you out as racist and as inciting violence.
00:34:25.000So that means the only thing that you can do is basically lay prostrate before your intersectional bettors.
00:34:30.000And if you lay prostrate before your intersectional bettors, then everything will be alright.
00:34:34.000That's the only way you can avoid blame.
00:34:36.000And that's why you end up with pieces like this in the New England Journal of Medicine.
00:34:41.000The New England Journal of Medicine has a piece today from a doctor named Deborah Cohan And the piece says, quote, I am racist, shaped by the sometimes subtle tendrils of white supremacy deeply embedded in our culture.
00:34:54.000I mean, this not as a sanctimonious admission of guilt, but as a call to self reflection and action for us white physicians.
00:35:02.000Or do you mean that now no one can criticize you because you have confessed your racism in this Maoist struggle session in the pages of the New England Journal of Medicine?
00:35:10.000What does this have to do with medicine?
00:35:13.000Deborah Cohen writes, not dealing with our racism is a manifestation of our privilege and reinforces a system that allows white physicians to dip into the waters of self-inquiry only when it feels safe.
00:35:22.000So you'll be allowed to speak so long as what you speak is the language of surrender to the intersectional racism of the left.
00:35:29.000So if you say, listen, I'm a racist and I accept that I can't challenge the views of anyone who disagrees with me, who ranks higher on the victimhood scale and intersectionality.
00:35:38.000But that's the only thing we're going to allow you to say.
00:35:41.000Into this culture, wild leftists are now pushing an even more insane proposal.
00:35:47.000Benjamin Applebaum, who's on the New York Times editorial board, one of the worst editorial boards in the country, He has a piece today called Everyone's Income Taxes Should Be Public.
00:35:57.000So into this woke culture, this culture where we are going to shame you if you disagree, we are also going to ask that everyone's tax returns be public so that we can fine people and destroy their lives.
00:36:12.000How about the New York Times editorial board goes first?
00:36:14.000Is there anything good about the idea that... Why is everyone privy to my finances?
00:36:19.000Why should they be privy to your finances?
00:36:22.000The only reason to do any of this, the only reason the left is pushing any of this, is to forward the bullying culture that they have created for themselves.
00:36:35.000If you do not do what they want on your tax returns, if you earn too much money, you are bad.
00:36:39.000You are morally bankrupt, and therefore they can attack you.
00:36:42.000If you are white, they can morally attack you until you suggest that you are, in fact, part of a racist superstructure, in which case you're allowed to talk.
00:36:48.000And if you won't do either of those things, if you won't throw open your doors to the Maoists, then they will target you.
00:36:57.000And they will call you a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe who's inciting violence.
00:37:07.000Liberalism used to be about we want a little more government intervention in the economy.
00:37:11.000I disagreed with that, but that was the case.
00:37:13.000Now liberalism is about confessing your racism in public, even if you're not a racist.
00:37:19.000Now leftism is about throw open the doors of your tax returns so we can all examine in detail whether we approve of your earning and spending habits.
00:37:30.000Now it's about if you criticize us, then you're inciting violence.
00:37:44.000So President Trump, as we talked about on Friday, apparently floated a proposal whereby people who are coming into the country illegally, and for which the federal government did not have the resources because Democrats have not provided the funding necessary to keep families together at the border, President Trump suggested, okay, instead of just shipping them to the local border town, instead of just sending them to El Paso and letting them roam around in El Paso, how about this?
00:38:07.000You guys on the left, you don't want to provide me the funding, and since you don't want to provide me the funding, and since you also have created sanctuary cities, how about we send them to you?
00:38:30.000Now, the point that he is making here, of course, is that if you are wildly pro open borders, then you should probably feel the consequences of your decision making.
00:38:37.000He says, so interesting to see the mayor of Oakland and other sanctuary cities do not want our currently detained immigrants after a lease due to the ridiculous court order 20 day rule.
00:38:46.000If they don't want to serve our nation by taking care of them, why should other cities and towns?
00:38:49.000There is nothing wrong with what he is saying here.
00:38:52.000You may not like President Trump, but what he is saying here is true.
00:38:55.000If you believe that illegal immigration only adds benefit to your city, and if you believe that the president has been overstating the problems, and if you believe that the only humane treatment is catch and release of these folks into American society so they can live and work in America, why not send them to places where they're even more protected, like sanctuary cities?
00:39:23.000And the people who are feeling the brunt of that are not people who approve the system.
00:39:26.000So, if they're going to escape into the system anyway, if these people are going to be released into the system and never show up again and just overstay their temporary work visas, well then maybe they should live in the areas where Democrats keep saying they want them.
00:39:38.000And hilariously enough, Democrats are upset about this.
00:39:41.000Which does demonstrate a peculiar hypocrisy on the part of Democrats.
00:39:47.000The best element of this over the weekend was Cher.
00:39:49.000So Cher, who is a crazy left winger, she tweeted out, I understand helping struggling immigrants, but my city, Los Angeles, isn't taking care of its own.
00:39:58.000What about the 50,000 plus American citizens who live on the streets, people who live below the poverty line and they're hungry?
00:40:04.000If my state can't take care of its own, many are vets.
00:41:06.000I say he's trying to pit Americans against each other and make us less safe, because what you're seeing now... So you take the threat seriously?
00:41:14.000He is injecting fear into our country.
00:41:17.000And so if he was looking to solve a problem, he wouldn't be doing things to divide this country against itself.
00:41:23.000Beware of anybody that's trying to tell you to be afraid in the strongest country in the world, as opposed to showing our strength and our courage by pulling people together to find common sense solutions to solve this problem.
00:41:46.000It's amusing to watch as the Democrats basically embrace the Republican premise on this entire argument while at the same time maintaining they won't do anything about it.
00:41:55.000It's not just on that score, by the way, where Democrats are embracing the Republican premise while not doing anything about it.
00:42:00.000Bernie Sanders was on the campaign trail over the weekend.
00:42:02.000And Senator Sanders has been caught up in a bit of an awkward situation.
00:42:06.000It turns out that he is a millionaire.
00:42:07.000And as a socialist, this is a not great thing.
00:42:10.000So Bernie Sanders had to explain that it's not criminal for him to be rich.
00:42:14.000I didn't know that it was a crime to write a good book.
00:42:23.000And my view has always been that we need a progressive PACS system, which demands that the wealthiest people in this country finally start paying their fair share of PACS.
00:42:38.000If I make a lot of money, you make a lot of money, that is what I believe.
00:42:43.000So I don't apologize for writing a book that was number three on the New York Times bestseller, translated into five or six languages, and that's that.
00:42:53.000Oh, well, I don't apologize for writing a book that was number one on the New York Times bestseller list and is being translated into other languages as we speak.
00:43:14.000And I would love for somebody to press him.
00:43:16.000He's holding his first press scrum, by the way, two months after launch.
00:43:19.000Amazing how the press haven't made a big deal out of that.
00:43:22.000Speaking of press malfeasance, there is polling out that shows that the American people do not believe that they got a tax cut from President Trump's tax cuts.
00:43:43.000Other analyses reached similar conclusions.
00:43:45.000The Joint Committee on Taxation, Congress's nonpartisan team of tax analysts, found that every income group would see a tax cut on average.
00:43:52.000In a December 2017 analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, it found every income group in every state Why don't people know that?
00:44:07.000The media are saying, why don't people know that?
00:44:09.000Why don't people, because you said that they would not, because you claimed that it was a tax cut that was created to benefit the rich, so you lied.
00:45:03.000Also, I will say that Bran, whoever plays Bran, that kid, they cast him when he was a kid.
00:45:09.000And you never know when you cast a kid, whether the kid's gonna turn out to be a good actor, or whether the kid is just gonna turn out to be a stump.
00:45:15.000And Neon Taster, my Twitter father, tweeted out, and I think this is right, that Bran is basically the Hodor of looking at people.
00:45:22.000Every time Bran looks at somebody, it's the same look.
00:45:27.000So he just sort of sits there and acts sour the entire episode.
00:46:17.000And there are some boobs because we have to point out that this is HBO, and we have to remind people that you're paying subscriptions so you can see boobs.
00:47:30.000Pretty neat stuff from Tiger Woods, and it's a great redemption story.
00:47:35.000So there's this great, from his first Masters win, there's this great video of him hugging his dad, wearing nearly an identical shirt, and then you fast forward 15 years, and now he's hugging his son.
00:47:47.000Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:47:53.000So first thing that I hate, there is a professor named Alexander McNabb at Barnard College and he wanted to enter a room, he wanted to enter a room that required, a building, that required after 11 p.m., that required him to show ID.
00:48:09.000He refused to show ID and then he became belligerent with campus officers.
00:48:12.000He then encouraged activists to spread the video claiming racism and the officers have been placed on leave.
00:49:02.000on Thursday, and the Columbia University senior had just left his late-night Afro Beats dance practice.
00:49:07.000He had work to do, and his anthropology thesis was looming, so the 23-year-old pulled out his phone to check a Facebook page where students can post and find the most universally reliable staple on American college campuses.
00:49:25.000By the end of the night, he would find himself the latest subject of another viral video, the kind that receives, that revives, the tense conversation communities are having nationwide about police use of force, racial profiling, and the risks that come with being a person of color in the United States.
00:50:15.000And then the deans of Columbia released a groveling statement saying that the belligerent student was a victim of racism and encouraging the student body to engage in social justice programs.
00:50:23.000The investigation still is not complete.
00:50:27.000It's a setup video, pretty obviously, and yet it is treated as though it is real by the mainstream media because they have to have incidents that they can claim are indicative of broader American racism, even if those incidents seem to be fabricated from the outset.
