Elizabeth Warren's humiliating self-own, the media gives President Trump a reason to question fake news again, and Hillary Clinton will never leave the race. Elizabeth Warren is a Democratic presidential candidate running for president in 2020. She has been a thorn in the side of President Trump since she suggested in 2017 that he should prove her Native American ancestry in order to prove that she was a Native American. But is she actually Native American? Is she part Cherokee, part Delaware, and part Delaware? If she is, then it sounds like it would be a good idea for her to go back in time to a time when her family didn t accept her parents' romance because her mom was partially Native American, and her dad was a white man who was in love with a woman who was part Cherokee. What do you think of Elizabeth Warren's story about her family not accepting her marriage because of her Indian bloodline? What does it mean for her chances of winning the 2020 Democratic nomination? Ben Shapiro breaks it all down and explains why she should have been able to prove she's not Native American at all and why it's not even remotely close to being Native American after all.

00:00:00.000Elizabeth Warren's humiliating self-own, the media give President Trump a reason to question fake news again, and Hillary will never leave.
00:01:40.000Elizabeth Warren, making my day great again.
00:01:43.000So, Elizabeth Warren is the senator from Massachusetts.
00:01:46.000I knew her a little bit when I was at Harvard Law School because she was a property professor.
00:01:49.000They're a pretty popular property professor.
00:01:51.000The first time I met her, she, literally the first time I met her, she was recruiting for Harvard Law School and she ripped on Rush Limbaugh, so that was a pretty good opener for what Elizabeth Warren was politically.
00:02:01.000Well, Elizabeth Warren today decided that she would engage in the most humiliating self-own I have ever seen in American politics.
00:02:09.000I mean, this is like the best self own of all time.
00:02:12.000This is the equivalent of that guy who owned gold during the World Cup and then got killed for it.
00:02:17.000Hopefully nothing bad happens to Elizabeth Warren.
00:02:19.000Nobody is calling for violence, but this is a really bad own goal.
00:02:49.000The noted crab herds of the Oklahoma plains that her ancestors used to hunt.
00:02:55.000Elizabeth Warren told this story over and over about her Native American ancestry.
00:02:59.000And what she said was that there were racist members of her family who couldn't accept her parents' romance because her mom was partially Native American.
00:03:07.000Here's Elizabeth Warren telling the romantic story.
00:03:10.000Actually, you have it wrong about what it is, I believe.
00:03:34.000Okay, so her parents eloped because her mom was part Cherokee and part Delaware.
00:03:39.000Which means, you would think, pretty hefty dose of Native American ancestry right there, right?
00:03:43.000I mean, if her family is worried about it, then sounds like that would be some significant Native American ancestry.
00:03:49.000So, President Trump didn't believe this because it's nonsense.
00:03:52.000People actually checked into her background, they found there's no Native American ancestry anywhere in the time horizon of rationality.
00:03:59.000So President Trump went out on the campaign trail, this is back in 2017 I believe, and he was holding a rally in Montana.
00:04:06.000And he suggested that he would give her a million dollars if she could prove her Native American ancestry.
00:04:12.000And we will say, I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian.
00:04:24.000So today, Elizabeth Warren came forward with the evidence that she was, in fact, Native American.
00:04:30.000Now, I think that it is important to note, if you don't believe in media bias, you have to check out the headlines today, because the headlines today are truly astonishing.
00:04:37.000The headline today from the Daily Beast suggests that there is strong evidence that she is Native American.
00:04:43.000Okay, it says, this is the actual title.
00:04:45.000Elizabeth Warren DNA Test Reveals Native American Ancestry.
00:04:50.000Her claims to indigenous heritage had been ridiculed by Trump.
00:04:53.000CNN had a headline about Elizabeth Warren.
00:05:01.000And Elizabeth Warren releases test with strong evidence of ancestry.
00:05:06.000And then analysis, why Elizabeth Warren is number one in our new 2020 rankings.
00:05:10.000So CNN obviously has a pretty strong agenda here.
00:05:12.000So what this would suggest, if you just read those headlines, is she took a DNA test and it found that a great-grandparent was Native American or something.
00:05:29.000This is according to the Boston Globe.
00:05:43.000He concluded that the vast majority of Warren's ancestry is European, but he added that the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.
00:06:14.000That's... Just to be straight about this.
00:06:17.000Her claim that she has Native American ancestry was that her parent, her mom, was so Native American that she was discriminated against by her dad's family.
00:06:24.000That is not the same thing as her great-great-great-great-great-grandparent minimum.
00:06:33.000And by the way, that is not the outer limit of the test.
00:06:35.000The test shows that at best, at best, she was a 6th generation Native American.
00:06:41.000At worst, at worst, it's 10th, which would mean that she had an ancestor, her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparent, who was Native American.
00:06:53.000The best part of this Boston Globe story,
00:08:12.000It says, Warren has 12 times more Native American blood than a white person from Great Britain, and 10 times more than a white person from Utah, the report found.
00:08:20.000Well, there's only one problem with that.
00:08:21.000What the actual study shows is that the average American in the United States, of any race, the average American in the United States is 0.18% Native American.
00:08:32.000And by the way, you're not accepted as a Native American in a Native American tribe unless you are at least 116th Native American, meaning that you had a great-grandparent who was Native American.
00:08:40.000So, we are now going back 10 generations to try and claim that she's a Native American.
00:08:45.000Because she claims, I guess, a University of Pennsylvania Native American heritage and all the rest.
00:09:51.000So, I have suggested publicly, as others have done, I'm not the only one, or probably the first person to have suggested this, President Trump should not give $1 million to Elizabeth Warren.
00:10:01.000He should give her 1 1,024th of a million dollars.
00:10:05.000He should sign her a $900 check, because that's how Native American she is.
00:10:29.000And again, you have to love the media bias here.
00:10:32.000If anybody claimed this on the right, are you kidding me?
00:10:35.000If I claimed that I had Native American ancestry and then people are like, well, Ben, you're pretty Jewish.
00:10:39.000Eric, well, you know, if I take a 23andMe test and it shows that 10 generations ago, maybe someone with some DNA in common with a Colombian person was in my ancestry, would that make you Native American?
00:11:56.000I'll have more on this in just one second, but first...
00:11:59.000Let's talk about the air that you're breathing.
00:12:01.000So there's a new study that just came out of China and it discovered that air pollution causes a huge reduction in intelligence, which might explain our nation's politics right now.
00:12:09.000High pollution levels led to significant drops in test scores with language and arithmetic, the average impact equivalent to having lost an entire year of education.
00:12:16.000Well, now we know what happened to all the people who protest me when I go to college campuses, but
00:12:20.000It is important for you to have clean air in your home.
00:12:22.000With 95% of the global population breathing unsafe air, you ought to have filters in your house that work.

00:13:17.000What made Elizabeth Warren think, this is a great idea?
00:13:21.000The answer is, by the way, how great an idea did she think this was?
00:13:25.000She went home and she filmed a video with a bunch of her family members complaining about how Trump was mean for suggesting she didn't have Native American ancestry.
00:14:39.000Folks on the left suggest that the people on the right are bitter clingers.
00:14:42.000We cling to God, and we cling to guns, and we cling to our American status.
00:14:48.000We cling to our borders, and we cling to our language.
00:14:50.000We cling to all sorts of terrible things.
00:14:51.000You remember Barack Obama blamed evil republicanism on being bitter clingers.
00:14:56.000Elizabeth Warren is bitterly clinging on to this narrative and the media are bitterly clinging on along with her.
00:15:01.000And then they are clinging on to a bunch of other false narratives that they are putting out.
00:15:04.000Now, all they have to do, I've said this on CNN, all that the media have to do in order to undermine President Trump is just try to stick to the truth.
00:15:18.000So over the weekend, there were two separate, two separate major media stories that turned out to be basically false about President Trump.
00:19:56.000So again, when President Trump slams the so-called fake news, when they actually are participating in fake news, they absolutely 100% deserve it.
00:20:04.000They absolutely 100% deserve all of it.
00:20:07.000In a second, we're going to go through an epic episode of some good Trump, bad Trump, because President Trump was on 60 Minutes yesterday.
00:20:13.000But first, let's talk about how you are going to relax.
00:20:16.000So does this news cycle make you want to relax?
00:20:21.000You are boneless from laughter over Elizabeth Warren's claim that she is Native American.
00:20:25.000But still, if you're a little bit stressed out over the midterm elections or anything else in your life, you really need to talk to my friends over at Zeal.
00:20:30.000You go to Zeal.com or Zeal's iPhone or Android app, Z-E-E-L.com, and you can select from top local, licensed, pre-screened massage therapists.
00:20:38.000Choose your favorite technique, gender preference, time and location for your massage.
00:20:42.000Benzeal will then send you one of their 10,000 licensed massage therapists with a massage table, music, and supplies to give you a five-star massage.
00:20:49.000Scheduling, booking, payment, fast and easy.
00:22:37.000So basically, Michael Avenatti just took over Elizabeth Warren's Twitter feed.
00:22:41.000Good luck with all of this for the Democrats.
00:22:43.000Now, with all that said, President Trump was on 60 Minutes last night.
00:22:46.000He did, overall, I think, a pretty good job because he was dealing with an interviewer in Leslie Stahl, who is wildly anti-Trump, really, really hates Trump, and you can tell from the questions.
00:22:56.000But it was a pretty, I'd say it was a pretty epic episode of Good Trump, Bad Trump.
00:23:00.000So I have been the progenitor, like the actual creator, not ten generations ago, the actual creator of Good Trump, Bad Trump.
00:23:07.000You know, this model that says sometimes the president says good things, and sometimes the president says bad things.
00:23:46.000Other good Trump, he said some interesting things on 60 Minutes.
00:23:50.000And when he talked about the Democrats not wanting the country to heal, this obviously was correct.
00:23:54.000Here's President Trump going after the Democrats.
00:23:57.000He is not wrong about this, considering that Elizabeth Warren today is doing the, everybody hates you, Mr. Trump, and my Native American ancestry is real, and Hillary's saying no civility for Republicans, and all the rest.
00:24:07.000Here is President Trump talking about Democrats wanting to divide the country.
00:24:38.000What he said on 60 Minutes was not bad.
00:24:40.000But Saudi Arabia is enmeshed in a massive scandal right now because there's this guy named Jamal Khashoggi.
00:24:46.000And Jamal Khashoggi was a person who wrote op-eds for The Washington Post.
00:24:52.000He was a longtime retainer of the Saudi royal family and a critic of the regime.
00:24:56.000He entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey on October 2nd, seeking documents relevant to a divorce.
00:25:01.000The Turkish government claims that they have proof that a Saudi hit squad murdered him inside the consulate, chopped his body up, and then dispatched the remains in a black van to a private plane headed for Saudi Arabia.
00:25:11.000There's not a lot of doubt that Khashoggi is dead at this point.
00:25:14.000This has created worldwide consternation against the Saudi government, and in particular,
00:25:18.000against Prince Mohammed bin Sultan, who's considered the new leader of Saudi Arabia, the new dictator of Saudi Arabia.
00:25:25.000A few comments are necessary on this to understand what's going on exactly here.
00:25:30.000Number one, Saudi Arabia is a tyrannical dictatorship led by people who are tyrannical dictators.
00:25:41.000They are not a human rights friendly country.
00:25:44.000Mohammed bin Sultan was supposed to be a reformer, but even as a reformer, he's still the dictator of Saudi Arabia.
00:25:49.000This is not a supremely shocking story on any level other than we know the name of the guy who has disappeared as opposed to presumably many other people whose names we don't know who have been disappeared.
00:25:58.000Second, the Turkish government has a pretty strong interest in trying to humiliate the Saudis because the Turkish government
00:26:04.000has basically been anti-Saudi for years.
00:26:06.000They're in bed with the Iranian government at this point, and to a certain extent in bed with the Syrian government as well.
00:26:13.000All of that said, the Turkish government releasing evidence in an attempt to make it look like they are our friends.
00:26:19.000Erdogan, who's the leader of Turkey, also an Islamist thug who has imprisoned dissidents and killed dissidents too.
00:26:24.000So, there are no good guys in this part of the world, at least not in leadership positions.
00:26:31.000The call for the United States to distance itself from the Saudi Arabian government after all of this, I think is appropriate.
00:26:37.000But I think it's also appropriate to note that the outsized consternation with regard to Khashoggi, which when I say outsized, I don't mean that it's inappropriate.
00:26:53.000Or Syria murdering half a million people?
00:26:57.000Or Iran pursuing terrorism across the region?
00:26:59.000It is amazing how the human brain has the capacity to hone in on a single incident of evil in a way that it doesn't on literally hundreds of thousands of incidents of evil.
00:27:10.000But with all of that said, the United States does have to do something if the Saudi Arabian government is calling dissidents back to consulates and then murdering them.
00:27:42.000I don't want to lose an order like that.
00:27:45.000There are other ways of punishing, to use a word that's a pretty harsh word, but it's true.
00:27:52.000Okay, so, you know, when he says that he wants to maintain certain economic ties, that's not great Trump, right?
00:27:57.000He needs to actually be exerting pressure on the Saudis for reform.
00:28:00.000Now, he has to do that carefully because he also doesn't want to give a lot of leeway and leverage to the Iranians, who are enemies with the Saudi regime and have been fighting a proxy war in Yemen with the Saudis.
00:28:10.000Again, there are no good guys in this particular area of the world.
00:29:36.000I want to get to the other big story of the weekend, which is these violent clashes happening in Portland and New York between Antifa and the Proud Boys.
00:29:43.000But first, let's talk about ExpressVPN.
00:29:46.000So you need to protect your internet access, whether you're in a cafe or a hotel.
00:29:49.000We often rely on public Wi-Fi to use the internet on the go, but something as simple as paying your bills online from a Starbucks could actually leave your data exposed.
00:29:57.000A hacker could easily intercept your information, stealing passwords, credit cards.
00:30:24.000So using ExpressVPN, I can safely search on public Wi-Fi anytime I want, and it costs less than seven bucks a month, comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it, see if you like it.
00:30:53.000While President Trump was participating in Good Trump, Bad Trump, Hillary Clinton was just participating in Normal Hillary, which is just Bad Hillary.
00:31:30.000Pacific, Drew, Andrew Klavan, will be taking your questions and answering them live on air, hosted by Alicia Krauss.
00:31:36.000You'll get a full hour of Drew's infinite wisdom that famously produces world-class leftist tears, finally ground and honed to perfection by blind nuns in the Swiss Alps.
00:31:45.000As always, this episode will be free for everyone to watch on Facebook and YouTube, but only subscribers can ask the questions, so don't miss Drew's
00:31:53.000Next chapter of Another Kingdom either, by the way, which, as I say, was performed by Michael Moulse.
00:31:56.000And today's subscribers get exclusive access to episode three as well.
00:32:00.000This one is titled The Beast, obviously about President Trump.
00:32:03.000If you're not a subscriber, you won't be able to watch new episodes of season two until Friday.
00:32:32.000Feel the inspiration you draw just from setting your eyes upon this glory.
00:32:37.000You're not going to know the power that flows through your body until you hold this thing in your hand, and you're only going to be able to do that when you have a $99 a year subscription.
00:33:06.000There is no such thing as good Hillary.
00:33:07.000So Hillary came out over the weekend and said that Bill Clinton should not have resigned over Monica Lewinsky because he did not abuse his power in any way.
00:33:14.000I do love that she is considered a hero, a heroine of the feminist movement.
00:33:19.000Pretty spectacular stuff from the left here.
00:33:32.000There are people who look at the incidents of the 90s and they say a president of the United States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern.
00:33:56.000Trump should resign because of allegations against him, but her husband shouldn't resign because of allegations against him.
00:34:01.000Also, he didn't abuse power when he, 49-year-old President of the United States, was being serviced by a 22-year-old intern in the Oval Office.
00:34:37.000That really was not what happened at those debates.
00:34:39.000What happened is that Trump was as much of a jerk to her as he is to every other human being on the planet, and it didn't play well with her because she's one of the most deeply unlikable human beings on planet Earth.
00:34:49.000The Democrats have decided to full-scale embrace the most radical version of themselves.
00:34:54.000You know, they say in acting that you have to get in touch with your authenticity.
00:34:57.000The Democrats are certainly getting in touch with their authenticity.
00:34:59.000The problem is that deep down, Democratic leadership, not particularly charming.
00:35:04.000Bernie Sanders is another example of this.
00:35:06.000So Bernie was on Jake Tapper's show on CNN, and Jake Tapper asked him about the inflammatory rhetoric on the part of some folks in the Democratic Party, and Bernie
00:35:15.000A follower of whose shot up a bunch of Congress people last year came out and said that it's not that bad if people get mobbed in public places.
00:35:24.000Like, it's amazing that Bernie doesn't feel any necessity to say anything here about this sort of action.
00:35:29.000You know, listen again, I don't blame Bernie Sanders for that incident last year, because unless you're openly calling for violence, I don't blame you for somebody going and doing violence.
00:35:36.000But when Bernie Sanders refuses to condemn mobbing in public spaces, he certainly is not making the country a better place.
00:35:45.000I am very strongly in favor of mobilizing the American people to stand up and fight for economic justice and social justice and racial and environmental justice.
00:35:56.000And I think we have to mobilize people.
00:35:59.000I am not a great fan of being rude or disrupting activities.
00:36:05.000This entire 2000 election campaign is going to come down to two words, and that is voter turnout.
00:36:14.000Okay, so he's not a big fan of people getting rude, but if people get rude, that's sort of the way that it is.
00:36:17.000And voter turnout, I don't want to dampen the enthusiasm.
00:36:20.000It just shows how the Democrats are willing to flirt with the mob politics they've been talking about for the last several months, really, since Maxine Waters broke out into the open with it.
00:36:29.000And they're willing to do so on a regular basis.
00:36:31.000They're even willing to validate mob violence on a regular basis.
00:36:35.000Over the weekend, the Washington Times reported that Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler
00:36:38.000came under fire over a viral video showing Antifa protesters blocking traffic and harassing drivers.
00:36:43.000But he says he supports the decision by police to watch from a distance without getting involved.
00:36:48.000He says, I was appalled by what I saw in the video, but I support the Portland Police Bureau's decision not to intervene.
00:36:54.000The whole incident will be investigated.
00:36:55.000The video was posted by journalist Andy Nago and it showed protesters, including members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, blocking an intersection and attempting to direct traffic while officers on motorcycle watched from a block away.
00:37:08.000The activists chased down 74-year-old Kent Hauser after he made a right turn against their wishes, pounding on his silver Lexus and breaking a window.
00:37:15.000The car sustained thousands of dollars in damage, he told The Oregonian.
00:37:18.000But Mr. Wheeler insists the motorists should feel completely safe coming into downtown Portland.
00:37:23.000Well, all of this, this lack of law enforcement, this lack of crackdowns on Antifa, it leads to
00:37:28.000Greater heights of violence when other people who are ready for violence show up in places where Antifa is.
00:37:34.000Now, here has been my recommendation for a very long time.
00:37:37.000I speak at a lot of public events where protesters show up.
00:37:40.000And in some of those events, protesters get violent.
00:37:44.000I mean, that's happened at Cal State Los Angeles.
00:37:46.000It happened at Penn State a little bit.
00:37:48.000It happened, certainly, at Berkeley, where nine people were arrested.
00:37:51.000My recommendation has always been, because there have been people who have said, well, should I come ready for self-defense?
00:37:58.000If somebody hits you, then defending yourself is fine, but you should come ready to invoke the powers of the police.
00:38:04.000You should be ready to go to the police and let law enforcement take care of the problem.
00:38:08.000We live in a volatile climate enough that you don't have to go around spoiling for a fight.
00:38:12.000Because if you spoil for a fight, the media is just going to play it as though you were the instigator of the fight in the first place.
00:38:17.000The reason I bring this up is because over the weekend, there were a couple of violent incidents, one in New York and one in Portland, and it's just not good stuff.
00:38:57.000So if you can't see this, you can see people fighting with each other, like really swinging on each other.
00:39:02.000According to The Oregon Live, a demonstration billed as a march for law and order in the streets of Portland descended into chaos as rival political factions broke into bloody brawls downtown Saturday night.
00:39:11.000Members of the right-wing group Patriot Player and their black-clad adversaries, known as Antifa, used bear spray, bear fists, and batons to thrash each other outside Kelly's Olympian, a popular bar on Southwest Washington Street.
00:39:23.000The melee, which lasted more than a minute, ended when riot cops rushed in and fired pepper balls at the street fighters.
00:39:28.000Now, as I say, what's happening here is that groups like Patriot Prayer, which are being cast as white nationalists, and I'm not seeing strong enough evidence to say that this is a white nationalist group.
00:39:40.000In any case, and this is coming from a guy who's happy to say when I think people are white nationalists, right?
00:39:45.000I did two episodes after Charlottesville talking about white nationalism and the evils of the alt-right.
00:39:50.000Patriot Prayer was doing a march in Portland specifically because they wanted to show that Antifa was violent.
00:39:54.000Antifa showed up, and it looked like Antifa instigated violence, and the folks at Patriot Prayer then got into it with them, including some of the Proud Boys from Gavin McInnes' group, and it got violent.
00:40:05.000Now, as I say, I think it is perfectly worthwhile to publicly march against violence.
00:40:10.000And I think it's okay to defend yourself, too.
00:40:12.000But there's a difference between being willing to defend yourself and spoiling for a fight to the point where you are looking to beat the living crap out of somebody because, number one, you shouldn't be looking to beat the living crap out of people in aggressive fashion.
00:40:23.000Like, once the guy's down, the guy's down.
00:40:24.000Now it's time for law enforcement to come in.
00:40:26.000And number two, it is perfectly obvious that the media are going to play this as though it is right-wing groups instigating violence, as opposed to Antifa, which has been violent every single place it goes, instigating violence.
00:40:37.000Here's a little bit more video from that brawl in Portland.
00:40:42.000It's a little hard to see, but you can see folks are marching.
00:40:45.000And then, it's about to break down into violence.
00:40:48.000You can see in the front people hitting each other, swinging on each other.
00:41:20.000Gavin, I think, needs to be more strict about who he involves as his friends, but to suggest that Gavin is a white nationalist ignores any part of his rhetoric.
00:41:35.000And you can see that in this particular video in New York.
00:41:38.000Now, Antifa's claiming that the Proud Boys instigated the violence.
00:41:41.000The Proud Boys are claiming that Antifa instigated the violence.
00:41:43.000Apparently, after the event, they walked out, there were some Antifa members, somehow the violence gets instigated and you end up with basically 20 members of the Proud Boys kicking the living crap out of three members of Antifa.
00:42:06.000And then eventually, you'll see some members of sort of the surrounding crowd actually pulling people off of these guys because they don't want them, you know, getting arrested or killing somebody on the streets.
00:42:22.000And if the police won't do their jobs, it's going to get worse and worse.
00:42:24.000And if mayors aren't going to do their jobs, it's going to get worse and worse.
00:42:27.000New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called on the FBI to investigate violent clashes connected to the Proud Boys, and he blamed President Trump for the hatred and violence he tied to the altercations.
00:43:51.000Right, Love Me Tender is a really well sung song.
00:43:54.000And the funny thing about Love Me Tender, right, which you made really popular, is that it is a 100-year-old Confederate ballot, I believe, from like the 1860s, 1850s, 1860s, redone, rearranged for a movie that he made, his first movie.
00:44:08.000In any case, you can go check that out.
00:44:10.000Okay, other things that I like this week.
00:44:11.000So, Michael Savage, who's a radio talk show host, and I disagree with Michael on a lot of things.
00:44:17.000If you want a window into sort of the Trump movement, you know, the folks on the left who want a window into the Trump movement,
00:44:22.000They ought to check out Michael's books because Michael has been preaching a lot of the same sort of themes, some of which I agree with, some of which I disagree with, that Trump has been on for a long time.
00:44:32.000There's a reason that Trump and Savage were close during the last election cycle.
00:44:35.000He has a new book out called Stop Mass Hysteria, America's Insanity from the Salem Witch Trouse to the Trump Witch Hunt about the left targeting Trump.
00:44:42.000The left acts like they don't have a window into the mind of Trump people, like the Trump people are all crazy and that they don't have anybody articulating their viewpoint.
00:44:49.000Savage is a pretty good articulator of that viewpoint.
00:44:51.000So if folks want to know what a lot of the Trump base is thinking, Michael has a good beat on it.
00:45:17.000And I don't know why more mainstream liberals don't denounce the political correctness that they must know in private conversations is insane.
00:45:43.000Okay, and he's exactly right about all of this, of course.
00:46:08.000She's an American student of Palestinian descent.
00:46:11.000She arrived in Israel with an Israeli-issued visa to study in a master's program at Hebrew U. She never made it out of the airport.
00:46:18.000Israeli security officials detained her because of her past membership in Students for Justice in Palestine, which is indeed an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel group.
00:46:25.000They support BDS, a boycott, divestment, and sanctions policy toward the Jewish state.
00:46:30.000And now she's facing a deportation hearing.
00:46:33.000This is bad politics, and it is anti-First Amendment principles.
00:46:38.000The State of Israel does not have to give citizenship to anybody who wants to undermine the State of Israel, just as the United States does not have to give citizenship to anybody who wants to undermine the United States of America.
00:46:49.000As a general rule, bringing in people to study in your country, as long as they are paying their own way and it's not taking public dollars, I don't think we should be subsidizing that in the United States.
00:46:58.000But if somebody comes here and they are a socialist, for example, and they want to study in an engineering program here and they want to pay their own way, I don't see a big problem with that.
00:47:06.000And I think that it would be a mistake for the United States to bar people based on political viewpoint, except when it comes to actually becoming citizens and integrating into the society.
00:47:15.000So Israel has no need to grant citizenship to this woman, al-Qassam.
00:47:19.000They've been doing this for a few months and I don't think it's smart.
00:47:22.000In April, Catherine Frank, this Barry Weiss and Brett Stevens reporting at the New York Times, a professor at Columbia, was interrogated and then deported from Israel on charges of being a leader of Jewish Voice for Peace, which is another organization that endorses BDS.
00:47:36.000In August, Simone Zimmerman, an American Jewish activist who lives in Israel and is a founder, if not now, which is a group that is also pro-BDS,
00:47:44.000was held at the Israeli border for more than three hours and quizzed on her political views.
00:47:47.000Peter Beinart, who is an absolute schmuck of a human being, but he is a left-wing Zionist, supposedly.
00:47:55.000He was on his way to his niece's bat mitzvah in Israel, and he was detained and questioned.
00:47:59.000This is foolish for people who are just visiting.
00:48:01.000If you think they're an actual security threat, like a real security threat, like they're raising money against Israel, then you have every right to ban them.
00:48:09.000But if they're just there and they're left-wing,
00:48:11.000Let them in, have them leave when their visa expires, and that's that.
00:48:16.000I feel the same way about Israel as I do about the United States.
00:48:18.000On free speech basis, this seems counterproductive and foolish.
00:48:23.000I agree with Brett and Barry when they say Israel, like all countries, has a right to protect its borders and to determine who is allowed in and out.
00:48:29.000But Israel is also a state that prides itself on being a liberal democracy, a fact that goes far to explain the longstanding support for Israel among American Jews and non-Jews alike.
00:48:37.000If liberalism is about anything, it's about deep tolerance for opinions we find foolish, dangerous, and antithetical to our own.
00:48:43.000So detaining folks is not a worthwhile goal.
00:48:47.000I think this is right, but you don't have to give citizenship to anybody, nor do you have to give public benefits to anybody.
00:48:51.000And that's where I would draw the line, where I, Israel, I feel the exact same way about the United States.
00:49:03.000Ever since Nikki Haley suggested that Jared Kushner is a smart guy, the media have decided that they are on the warpath for Kushner.
00:49:09.000They have two separate lines of attack over the past several days.
00:49:12.000Line of attack number one, Jared Kushner is close with the MBS Mohammed bin Sultan, the Saudi prince responsible allegedly for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, who is that Saudi dissident.
00:49:23.000So, Jared is close with the Saudi government, therefore it's Jared's fault the Saudi government did something bad.
00:49:27.000I'd like to see that logic applied to every American president for the last 60 years.
00:49:32.000I'd like to see that logic applied, because that logic simply does not hold.
00:49:35.000If anybody has an alternative in Saudi Arabia we can get behind, I am happy to hear it.
00:49:39.000Otherwise, Jared Kushner working with Mohammed bin Sultan, before he knew about a murder,
00:49:46.000Seems to me not a terrible idea considering that Mohammed... It's worth noting here that Mohammed bin Sultan has been militantly opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood and also opposed to the Iranians, meaning we have global interests in the Saudi government.
00:49:59.000We have actual interests in the Saudi government.
00:50:02.000That doesn't mean that we can't smack them when they do something wrong, as we should.
00:50:05.000But to blame Jared Kushner for this is just ridiculous and silly.
00:50:08.000The other line of attack is that Jared didn't pay his taxes.
00:50:10.000So according to the New York Times, over the past decade, Jared Kushner's family company has spent billions of dollars buying real estate.
00:50:16.000His personal stock investments have soared.
00:50:18.000His net worth has quintupled to almost $324 million.
00:50:21.000And yet, for several years running, Mr. Kushner appears to have paid almost no federal income taxes, according to confidential financial documents reviewed by the New York Times.
00:50:29.000His low tax bills are the result of a common tax-minimizing maneuver that, year after year, generated millions of dollars in losses for Mr. Kushner.
00:50:36.000But the losses were only on paper, because his company didn't actually appear to lose money.
00:50:40.000The losses were driven by depreciation, which is a tax benefit that lets real estate investors deduct a portion of the cost of their buildings from their taxable income every year.
00:50:49.000In 2015, for example, Kushner took home $1.7 million in salary and investment gains, but those earnings were swamped by $8.3 million of losses, largely because of significant depreciation Kushner and his company took on their real estate.
00:51:46.000The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary in the same hand, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.
00:51:57.000In other words, if you have a branch that has irrigated to itself judicial power, executive power, and legislative power, that would be a tyranny.
00:52:04.000He says that if the Constitution were really chargeable with the accumulation of that sort of power, that no further arguments would be necessary to inspire a universal reprobation of the system.
00:52:14.000He does say, listen, there are parts where the executive does legislative stuff, and parts where the legislative does executive stuff, and parts where the judiciary does legislative stuff, but if they
00:52:25.000Arrogate extensive and exclusive power of one of the other branches, that is tyranny.
00:52:29.000So he quotes Montesquieu, the French philosopher Montesquieu, who was the progenitor of this idea of checks and balances.
00:53:06.000When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person or body, there can be no liberty, because the apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws to execute them in a tyrannical manner.
00:53:18.000He said, were the power of judging joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control.
00:53:24.000For the judge would then be the legislator.
00:53:26.000Were it joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with all the violence of an oppressor.
00:53:31.000So the argument right now in the United States is whether this is what's actually happened with the executive branch.
00:53:55.000Under President Trump, they were involved in a legislative move where they basically were knocking down regulations at a pretty rapid rate.
00:54:03.000The executive power has also gained the judiciary power.
00:54:05.000You have administrative agencies with their own hearings boards.
00:54:08.000This is one of the reasons why there's been a lot of focus on a case called Chevron.
00:54:12.000Chevron is a Supreme Court case in which the Supreme Court suggested the judiciary has to grant administrative deference to administrative agencies.
00:54:19.000So you have a case in front of the EPA.
00:54:37.000Chevron should be struck down just for these checks and balances to be restored.
00:54:41.000Irrigation of too much power in one branch is the essence of tyranny that remains as true today as when the Constitution was written.
00:54:47.000Okay, we'll be back here tomorrow with all of the latest, presumably including full stories of Elizabeth Warren's time with the Native American tribes riding the crab-ridden plains of Oklahoma.
00:54:57.000We'll have all of it for you tomorrow.
