00:00:00.000 The New York Times is furious that conservatives are reporting the news.
00:00:05.120 They are demanding that the conservatives stop reporting the news.
00:00:08.440 This is the New York Times newsroom and there will be no journalism here.
00:00:12.980 We examine the latest controversy and why the latest Times temper tantrum
00:00:16.800 has gone too far, even for fellow left-wing outlets like the Washington Post and Politico.
00:00:23.000 Then Joe Biden's support collapses in a new Monmouth University poll.
00:00:27.000 Young people are abandoning traditional values and the PC left is furious
00:00:31.060 over Dave Chappelle's excellent new comedy special.
00:00:34.540 All that and more.
00:00:35.420 I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:44.700 The New York Times has officially come out against journalism.
00:00:48.740 This is perfect.
00:00:49.600 This is just great.
00:00:50.500 It is a temper tantrum going through the entire newsroom of The New York Times.
00:00:54.740 It exposes, for once and for all, the hypocrisy of the mainstream media and of the left and
00:01:01.220 of specifically The New York Times, which is the iconic newspaper in this country.
00:01:07.220 We already knew they were hypocrites, but this, they really just throw their cards on the table.
00:01:11.360 No subtlety anymore.
00:01:12.380 We are living in the age of Trump and he's making them do it.
00:01:14.980 We'll get to that in a second.
00:01:15.880 But first, support for The Michael Knowles Show comes from our friends at Rocket Mortgage
00:01:19.580 by Quicken Loans.
00:01:20.800 I live in Los Angeles.
00:01:22.360 It is not easy to find a home.
00:01:25.440 Well, it's easy enough.
00:01:26.300 You find it and you look and then it's like $7 zillion and everyone's already bidding on
00:01:30.280 it and it's all just a disaster.
00:01:32.560 Fortunately, I know that when I do find the house of my dreams, finding the right mortgage
00:01:35.880 will be easy because Rocket Mortgage makes it easy.
00:01:39.900 I'm a millennial.
00:01:40.760 I never learned anything useful.
00:01:42.440 I didn't learn how to balance a checkbook.
00:01:44.420 I didn't learn any of the very complex aspects of getting a mortgage.
00:01:48.980 Fortunately, their mortgage experts over at Quicken Loans have their number one goal to
00:01:53.720 make the home buying process smoother for you.
00:01:56.500 They have industry-leading online lending technology.
00:01:59.600 Rocket Mortgage is there with award-winning client service and support every step of the
00:02:04.500 way.
00:02:04.800 You know, buying a home is, for most people, the most important financial decision they
00:02:08.980 will ever make in their lives.
00:02:10.440 It's extremely complicated.
00:02:12.300 Don't go it alone.
00:02:13.100 Go in there with the best.
00:02:14.600 Quicken Loans is ranked the highest in customer satisfaction for primary mortgage origination.
00:02:18.960 Nine years in a row.
00:02:21.240 They're also ranked highest in mortgage servicing.
00:02:23.000 Five years in a row.
00:02:24.060 When you work with them, you get more than just a loan because Rocket Mortgage is more
00:02:28.320 than just a lender.
00:02:29.920 Get started online at rocketmortgage.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:02:34.420 Equal housing lender licensed in all 50 states.
00:02:37.040 NMLSconsumeraccess.org number 3030.
00:02:38.660 Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans.
00:02:40.400 Push button.
00:02:41.460 Get mortgage.
00:02:43.440 So, the New York Times officially comes out against journalism.
00:02:47.400 They don't do this on page B7 or Z10.
00:02:51.360 They do it right there on the front.
00:02:53.360 A1.
00:02:54.320 They are so furious at President Trump right now that they are formally objecting to
00:02:59.220 journalism because here's what happens.
00:03:01.140 The New York Times reports on conservative figures, conservative politicians, conservative
00:03:06.400 media figures, sometimes on private conservatives and private citizens.
00:03:10.680 That is apparently a good thing.
00:03:13.100 Really good when the New York Times reports on conservatives.
00:03:17.480 Now, there are conservatives who are reporting on leftist New York Times reporters.
00:03:23.200 That is very bad.
00:03:25.480 It's good when we do journalism to conservatives.
00:03:28.280 Bad when we do journalism to leftists.
00:03:31.240 Why is that?
00:03:32.480 I don't know.
00:03:33.100 Just because.
00:03:33.920 Because the New York Times says so, so we have to believe it.
00:03:36.420 This is the article from the New York Times.
00:03:38.900 Begins, quote,
00:03:39.620 Washington, a loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House, is
00:03:47.340 pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed
00:03:52.780 hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists.
00:03:57.860 It's the latest step in a long-running effort by Mr. Trump and his allies to undercut the influence
00:04:03.000 of legitimate news reporting.
00:04:05.180 Not that illegitimate news reporting that all those conservatives are doing, but the legitimate
00:04:09.980 news reporting.
00:04:10.800 How can you tell what's a legitimate news reporting?
00:04:12.720 Well, it's when the New York Times does it.
00:04:14.580 It's when leftists do it.
00:04:15.780 When conservatives report the news, that is illegitimate.
00:04:18.120 Why?
00:04:18.440 Because they're conservative and only leftists are supposed to report on the news.
00:04:21.860 Now, what are they doing?
00:04:23.420 What is the damaging information?
00:04:25.320 Because when I read that, I thought, you know, it's a little, it's a little tricky.
00:04:28.800 It's a little crafty.
00:04:30.180 What are they doing?
00:04:30.700 They're probably digging through these reporters' trash cans, right?
00:04:33.960 They're probably going in, calling up their ex-girlfriends and their ex-wives, ex-boyfriends.
00:04:39.680 I don't know.
00:04:40.080 I don't want to be discriminatory or exclusive here.
00:04:42.680 They're probably finding sex scandals, right?
00:04:45.980 They're probably going into their personal lives because that might be a little bit too
00:04:50.760 far.
00:04:52.080 They do it to us.
00:04:53.220 The left does it to us all the time.
00:04:54.440 But look, I think that's, there should be a separation between public and private.
00:04:58.380 Maybe that is a little bit too far, except that's not what they're doing at all.
00:05:02.060 Do you know what they're doing?
00:05:04.400 The shadowy group allied with the White House, discrediting real journalists.
00:05:08.980 All they're doing is reading through the journalists' tweets.
00:05:12.780 They are lit, they're just combing the journalists' public social media profiles.
00:05:18.680 The Times goes on, quote, four people familiar with the operation described how it works, asserting
00:05:25.400 that it has compiled dossier of potentially embarrassing social media posts and other public
00:05:31.860 statements by hundreds of people who work at some of the country's most prominent news
00:05:37.200 organizations.
00:05:40.740 So they're reading the journalists' public statements.
00:05:45.040 And journalists, you will recall, for their job, for a living, make public statements.
00:05:51.360 That's what they do.
00:05:52.100 So they're, so what the shadowy group is doing is reading the news.
00:05:58.100 And that is bad.
00:06:00.080 The New York Times is furious because people are reading the news.
00:06:08.860 Okay.
00:06:10.420 Reading the journalists' public pages, public statements.
00:06:12.920 Then they are posting about the journalists' public statements.
00:06:15.900 Now, how could the New York Times, I mean, this is, this is so absurd, I'm surprised even
00:06:22.180 the New York Times could do this with a straight face.
00:06:24.100 But how do they do it?
00:06:25.460 How are they able to run this big story?
00:06:28.520 It's bad that conservatives read and post about the news.
00:06:31.100 That's more or less what the thesis of this story is.
00:06:33.060 How can they do that with a straight face?
00:06:35.140 Listen to the language that they use.
00:06:37.560 The Times writes, operatives have closely examined more than a decade's worth of public posts and
00:06:43.120 statements by journalists, the people familiar with the operation said.
00:06:48.060 You see, it's not just people reading the news and posting about it.
00:06:50.280 It's an operation.
00:06:52.360 Ooh.
00:06:53.340 Only a fraction of what the network claims to have uncovered has been made public.
00:06:58.180 So let's stop right there.
00:06:59.620 That isn't true.
00:07:00.580 It's all been made public.
00:07:02.040 These are all public posts.
00:07:03.880 They haven't uncovered and it's just there.
00:07:06.140 It's, it's, it is uncovered.
00:07:07.440 In order for something to be uncovered, it has to be covered in the first place.
00:07:10.620 But this isn't covered in the first place.
00:07:12.160 This is journalists whose job it is to write things in public for a living,
00:07:16.100 writing things in public, and then these people reading it and reposting it.
00:07:21.580 Only a fraction of what the network claims to have been uncovered has been made public,
00:07:25.140 the people said, with more to be disclosed as the 2020 election heats up.
00:07:30.260 The research is said to extend to members of journalists' families.
00:07:34.780 Okay, now stop right there.
00:07:36.720 That's not good.
00:07:37.540 I don't want people's families to get dragged into this.
00:07:43.060 You know, people have private lives.
00:07:44.380 They have private families.
00:07:45.420 I would really be upset if somebody started digging through my wife's stuff.
00:07:49.320 I wouldn't do it to somebody else or someone's kids or something.
00:07:52.360 It's just ugly.
00:07:53.800 It's wrong.
00:07:54.920 That's the, the journalists are the fair game.
00:07:56.640 They're public figures.
00:07:57.500 Public figures are totally fair game.
00:07:59.480 But the private, hold on, wait a second.
00:08:02.140 Hold on.
00:08:02.520 We got to finish that sentence because the sentence in the New York Times,
00:08:06.280 it goes on.
00:08:07.740 It says, the research is to, said to extend to members of journalists' families
00:08:11.740 who are active in politics as well as liberal activists
00:08:16.640 and other political opponents of the president.
00:08:18.880 So it, the work of these shadowy right-wing operatives
00:08:22.180 isn't going into the family's private lives.
00:08:24.960 It's only covering the family members who are politicians,
00:08:29.320 who are public political activists,
00:08:32.560 who are already fair game.
00:08:35.320 By the way, the fact that these journalists' families are active in politics
00:08:40.580 is a scandal in itself.
00:08:42.180 I guess, I mean, I guess it's like, if it's a commentator or somebody,
00:08:49.340 somebody who has an obvious political point of view that they own up to,
00:08:52.980 you know, let's say it's somebody on, Sean Hannity or so.
00:08:56.040 Let's say, if Sean Hannity's wife were a congressman or a governor or something,
00:08:59.560 that wouldn't be a scandal because Hannity has a political point of view.
00:09:04.340 Or if it was Ben or if it were Tucker or if it were Drew or if it were me.
00:09:08.120 If, if our relatives were in politics,
00:09:11.280 you wouldn't say, oh my gosh, I'm shocked to find out
00:09:13.800 that this person holds a conservative point of view
00:09:15.980 because we're open about our point of view.
00:09:18.400 But for journalists who are purportedly objective reporters
00:09:23.360 to then we find out their whole families are in politics,
00:09:29.280 that is a scandal.
00:09:31.000 Reporters are supposed to have objectivity.
00:09:33.560 Reporters are not supposed to be literally sleeping with their subjects.
00:09:38.080 That's not good.
00:09:38.980 I mean, this has been something that we've criticized the left for for so long.
00:09:42.420 George Stephanopoulos spends his whole career as a Democrat political operative.
00:09:45.880 He is actually the communications director for the Clinton White House.
00:09:50.220 And then one day he puts on a different colored tie
00:09:52.980 and he pretends to be an objective reporter on network news.
00:09:56.480 I said, what are you doing?
00:09:57.660 What are you talking about?
00:09:58.480 And now he's their main political reporter at ABC.
00:10:01.820 This was the guy who masterminded the Clinton propaganda strategy.
00:10:05.160 And you say, that's just ridiculous.
00:10:06.460 That is a scandal.
00:10:08.720 Now the New York Times is upset that more people are going to be exposed about that.
00:10:13.940 And the only people that this shadowy group is going after
00:10:17.760 are the family members who are already public figures in and of themselves.
00:10:23.320 The New York Times whining about this was so outrageous.
00:10:26.980 It was actually too much, even for the Washington Post and for Politico,
00:10:31.200 both of which are left-wing outlets.
00:10:32.980 Here's what the Washington Post wrote about it.
00:10:34.520 I mean, really great coverage of it.
00:10:36.620 WAPO writes, quote,
00:10:37.620 There is an incompatibility in the Times story in the Salzberger memo.
00:10:41.320 On one hand, there is an attempt to tar the motivations of the
00:10:44.780 loose network of conservative operatives, quote.
00:10:48.760 On the other hand, there is a stubborn admission
00:10:51.880 that they have brought actionable information to public attention.
00:10:55.860 For decades now, representatives of the mainstream media
00:10:58.260 have answered conservative critiques by imploring,
00:11:00.960 judge us by the work we produce,
00:11:03.240 not by the fact that more than 90% of us are liberal democratic.
00:11:08.200 Mainstreamers cannot have it both ways.
00:11:10.260 This is the key.
00:11:11.620 Mainstreamers cannot have it both ways.
00:11:14.040 He goes on,
00:11:14.660 Cut the idle and unverifiable talk about motivations.
00:11:17.360 If the tweets presented by a loose network of conservative operatives
00:11:20.040 are racist or anti-Semitic or otherwise problematic,
00:11:22.960 take action.
00:11:23.780 If they're nonsensical distractions, ignore them.
00:11:26.420 Spot on.
00:11:26.920 At least this guy in the Washington Post is holding his side,
00:11:33.520 the left-leaning, in some cases, hard-left so-called journalists
00:11:39.180 of the New York Times.
00:11:40.140 He's holding them to their own standards.
00:11:42.480 Politico, same thing.
00:11:43.440 Politico has an article out, quote, the headline,
00:11:45.920 Why journalists sold tweets are fair game for Trump.
00:11:48.700 New York Times editors don't deserve special immunity from scrutiny
00:11:51.600 for bigoted speech.
00:11:53.040 Totally right.
00:11:54.080 But that's what they want.
00:11:55.900 The New York Times wants one set of rules to apply to them
00:11:58.660 and then an entirely different set of rules to apply to the right.
00:12:02.300 That's what they do.
00:12:03.360 And the thin skin at the New York Times is not just on the hard left.
00:12:07.040 It's even on what you would call formerly the center right.
00:12:10.700 Now, in this case, you'd call it the never-Trump right.
00:12:14.460 Politico started its piece about the New York Times.
00:12:17.840 They started by quoting Edward R. Murrow,
00:12:19.940 the old journalist with the cigarette.
00:12:21.260 He was portrayed by George Clooney in that movie,
00:12:25.880 Good Night and Good Luck.
00:12:27.620 Very left-wing journalist.
00:12:29.140 And the line, though, is journalists don't have thin skins.
00:12:32.840 They have no skins.
00:12:34.160 Journalists take things very personally.
00:12:36.540 They're very sensitive.
00:12:38.060 And the person exemplifying this over at the New York Times
00:12:40.540 is Bret Stephens, who used to be a right-winger.
00:12:43.080 Now, I don't know, I guess he's center-left,
00:12:44.660 you would call him now.
00:12:45.740 He's kind of a Hillary Clinton guy, very anti-Trump.
00:12:48.580 But, so, Bret Stephens, yesterday there was a story
00:12:52.220 that was going around Twitter
00:12:53.060 that the New York Times newsroom had bedbugs.
00:12:57.060 And, you know, it's in New York.
00:12:58.760 Everyone gets bedbugs at some point in New York.
00:13:00.840 It's just a, it's a gross island,
00:13:02.860 and it's very compact, and there are bedbugs,
00:13:05.320 and that's just the way it is.
00:13:06.300 So I guess some of these bedbugs got into the New York Times.
00:13:08.840 Some guy makes a joke.
00:13:10.360 He's an associate professor of media at GW.
00:13:12.780 His name is David Karp.
00:13:14.040 And he makes a joke on Twitter.
00:13:15.260 He says,
00:13:15.660 The bedbugs are a metaphor.
00:13:17.660 The bedbugs are Bret Stephens,
00:13:19.800 who's this sort of center,
00:13:21.720 centrist or center-left now,
00:13:24.540 columnist at the New York Times.
00:13:26.260 And I don't know, the professor could be right-wing or left-wing.
00:13:28.780 I don't know what he is.
00:13:29.640 The left-wingers who read the Times don't like Stephens
00:13:31.940 because they say he's too right-wing,
00:13:33.540 and the right-wingers don't like Stephens now
00:13:35.380 because he's too left-wing.
00:13:37.060 So that's, that's what he tweets at.
00:13:38.480 He makes a joke about how Stephens is the bedbug.
00:13:40.320 The tweet gets nine likes and zero retweets.
00:13:44.620 So basically, nobody sees this tweet.
00:13:48.460 Within an hour,
00:13:50.280 Bret Stephens emails this guy directly
00:13:52.740 and CCs the guy's boss on the email.
00:13:58.200 This is what the email says,
00:13:59.420 quote,
00:14:00.000 I'm often amazed about the things supposedly decent people are prepared to say about other people,
00:14:05.200 people they've never met.
00:14:06.720 On Twitter,
00:14:07.260 I think you've set a new standard.
00:14:09.380 I would welcome the opportunity for you to come to my home,
00:14:12.220 meet my wife and kids,
00:14:13.980 talk to us for a few minutes,
00:14:15.540 and then call me a bedbug to my face.
00:14:17.920 That would take some genuine courage and intellectual integrity on your part.
00:14:23.080 Dude, take a joke.
00:14:25.580 Good grief.
00:14:27.980 Some guy that no one's ever heard of
00:14:30.120 made a little joke on Twitter
00:14:31.800 about a public figure,
00:14:34.100 and you are,
00:14:37.200 not only can you not take it,
00:14:39.000 not only are you inviting the guy to your house,
00:14:40.880 or I don't know,
00:14:41.420 you're all this passive aggressive email,
00:14:43.820 but you copy the guy's boss on the email,
00:14:45.880 like you're trying to get the guy fired.
00:14:48.200 Actually,
00:14:48.700 even MSNBC called out Bret Stephens
00:14:50.660 for this outrageous email,
00:14:53.480 this outrageous attempt
00:14:54.460 to get a media professor fired.
00:14:56.380 Did it today.
00:14:57.160 Here's Stephens' answer.
00:14:58.080 I also copied his provost on the note.
00:15:01.940 People are upset about this.
00:15:03.500 I want to be clear.
00:15:04.480 I had no intention whatsoever
00:15:06.320 to get him in any kind of professional trouble,
00:15:09.360 but it is the case at the New York Times
00:15:10.860 and other institutions
00:15:11.960 that people should be aware,
00:15:15.080 managers should be aware,
00:15:16.180 of the way in which their people,
00:15:18.320 their professors or journalists
00:15:20.040 interact with the rest of the world.
00:15:22.940 Well, hold on, hold on.
00:15:24.920 You say,
00:15:25.480 I had no intention
00:15:26.560 of getting this guy
00:15:28.340 in professional trouble.
00:15:29.600 I emailed his boss
00:15:31.120 to complain about him,
00:15:32.560 but I had no idea,
00:15:34.340 I had no intention
00:15:35.140 of getting him in professional trouble,
00:15:37.220 but he should be in professional trouble
00:15:39.380 and I called his boss.
00:15:40.400 That's what he's saying, right?
00:15:41.440 The but completely negates
00:15:43.380 everything that came before it
00:15:44.980 in that statement.
00:15:46.260 Bret Stephens,
00:15:47.020 this is a guy on top of the world
00:15:48.600 as one of the biggest microphones
00:15:49.680 in the world,
00:15:50.580 New York Times columnist,
00:15:52.120 can't take a little joke
00:15:53.960 from a media professor
00:15:55.380 that no one's ever heard of at GW.
00:15:57.720 So he CCs the guy's boss
00:15:59.560 and obviously tries to get him in trouble,
00:16:02.120 if not fired.
00:16:03.560 Probably tries to get him fired too
00:16:04.960 because if you get an email like that
00:16:06.280 from a guy as powerful as Bret Stephens
00:16:08.220 at the New York Times,
00:16:09.780 what are you going to,
00:16:10.140 you're not going to punish
00:16:11.760 the employee for it?
00:16:13.640 Of course not.
00:16:14.320 It's a joke.
00:16:15.240 This is what people despise
00:16:16.580 about the media,
00:16:17.640 the self-seriousness.
00:16:20.360 It's not that we don't like seriousness.
00:16:22.000 We don't want to be frivolous
00:16:22.920 and flippant all the time
00:16:24.000 and glib or anything like that.
00:16:25.900 But we want people to be serious
00:16:28.000 and not self-serious.
00:16:30.260 G.K. Chesterton said,
00:16:31.340 the angels can fly
00:16:32.340 because they can take themselves lightly.
00:16:35.380 They're not always taking themselves
00:16:37.140 unseriously,
00:16:37.880 but they can take themselves lightly
00:16:39.400 and so they can fly.
00:16:40.640 We hate self-seriousness.
00:16:42.300 You know,
00:16:43.140 this self-seriousness in journalism
00:16:44.900 really began,
00:16:46.280 I think,
00:16:46.880 in earnest
00:16:47.500 when the newsrooms
00:16:48.660 replaced all the actual reporters
00:16:50.940 with these over-credentialed
00:16:52.820 elite young people.
00:16:54.860 So,
00:16:55.780 journalism used to be
00:16:57.000 a kind of middle-class job.
00:16:58.160 You didn't really need
00:16:58.760 to go to college.
00:16:59.440 If you did,
00:16:59.860 you could go to a journalism program,
00:17:01.300 get out,
00:17:01.720 go work.
00:17:02.500 Work as a reporter
00:17:03.380 is very simple.
00:17:05.860 Now,
00:17:06.500 being over-credentialed
00:17:08.040 or not,
00:17:08.500 you know,
00:17:08.700 being a beat reporter
00:17:09.420 or something,
00:17:10.020 that's fine
00:17:10.460 if you want to be in commentary,
00:17:11.600 if you want to pursue
00:17:12.380 one political point of view
00:17:13.980 over another,
00:17:14.760 if you have a vision
00:17:16.760 of the world
00:17:17.360 and you're expounding on that.
00:17:19.020 punditry or something like that,
00:17:20.540 that's fine.
00:17:21.620 For reporters,
00:17:22.580 though,
00:17:22.840 that's not fine.
00:17:24.880 You see,
00:17:26.420 for reporters,
00:17:27.540 you need to just pursue the facts.
00:17:29.160 That's it.
00:17:29.900 It's a simple job.
00:17:31.820 Typically,
00:17:32.420 it hasn't paid that well.
00:17:33.600 It's an honorable job.
00:17:34.820 It's a simple job.
00:17:35.520 You just do it.
00:17:36.940 And now,
00:17:38.520 because we've got these
00:17:39.420 overly self-important people
00:17:41.200 who actually aren't that good
00:17:42.580 at journalism,
00:17:43.260 who aren't that good
00:17:43.840 at reporting,
00:17:44.720 they are just focusing
00:17:46.100 on themselves.
00:17:47.260 Journalists,
00:17:48.220 reporters,
00:17:48.520 you are not the great
00:17:49.780 defenders of democracy.
00:17:51.400 You are not defending
00:17:52.360 democracy in darkness.
00:17:53.760 You're not preserving
00:17:54.600 our country.
00:17:55.960 You're not even
00:17:57.140 especially good
00:17:58.460 at being an arbiter
00:17:59.960 of the truth
00:18:00.500 or discerning the truth.
00:18:03.020 Write your story.
00:18:05.040 Quit whining.
00:18:06.740 Do your job.
00:18:07.960 It's very simple.
00:18:08.740 I was at the PragerU
00:18:09.660 dinner the other night
00:18:10.480 with Mike Rowe.
00:18:11.500 Mike Rowe had great advice
00:18:12.760 that he passed along
00:18:13.780 from a mentor of his.
00:18:16.140 And the advice was,
00:18:17.120 don't focus on
00:18:20.680 how you're doing.
00:18:22.260 Focus on
00:18:22.900 what you're doing.
00:18:25.480 Focus on the what,
00:18:27.020 not the how.
00:18:29.300 Today,
00:18:29.880 journalists are only
00:18:30.640 worried about the how.
00:18:31.820 How do I look?
00:18:32.780 How do I sound?
00:18:33.920 How am I being perceived?
00:18:35.440 How many times
00:18:36.060 am I being invited
00:18:36.700 on television?
00:18:37.620 How are people on Twitter
00:18:38.580 talking about me?
00:18:39.720 How did that guy
00:18:40.480 tell that joke
00:18:41.120 about that bed bug off?
00:18:43.540 They're not focused
00:18:44.280 on the what,
00:18:44.900 which is their job,
00:18:45.740 which is reporting the facts.
00:18:46.760 Do your job.
00:18:48.240 Focus on the what.
00:18:49.020 Worry about what you're doing.
00:18:50.080 Let the how take care of itself.
00:18:51.700 Speaking of thin skin,
00:18:53.040 by the way,
00:18:53.820 there is an excellent
00:18:55.360 Netflix special out
00:18:56.800 that you have to watch
00:18:58.220 and critics on both
00:18:59.440 the left and the right
00:19:00.560 are assailing
00:19:01.960 this Netflix special,
00:19:03.640 which is how you know
00:19:04.800 that it's good.
00:19:05.920 It's how you know
00:19:06.800 that the comedian
00:19:07.620 is hovering right over the mark.
00:19:09.000 I'm talking about
00:19:09.860 Dave Chappelle's
00:19:11.140 new Netflix special.
00:19:13.200 So National Review,
00:19:14.140 which is a conservative publication,
00:19:15.460 gave this special
00:19:17.080 a bad review.
00:19:18.920 The review of itself
00:19:20.240 was not very good,
00:19:21.240 but the review
00:19:22.520 talked about
00:19:23.300 how this special,
00:19:24.660 it took on
00:19:25.260 too many taboo subjects.
00:19:26.600 It said too many taboo things.
00:19:28.180 No, we can't laugh.
00:19:29.400 We can't.
00:19:29.600 It's not funny.
00:19:30.940 Now,
00:19:31.940 that's just National Review.
00:19:33.240 That's fine.
00:19:34.140 On the left,
00:19:35.380 virtually every publication,
00:19:37.020 all the coverage of it
00:19:38.220 was saying
00:19:39.360 that this special is awful.
00:19:40.720 It's transphobic.
00:19:41.840 It's sexist.
00:19:42.700 It's victim blaming.
00:19:43.960 It's all the PC terms.
00:19:45.940 All of the PC jargon
00:19:47.560 came out in these reviews.
00:19:49.860 And Chappelle doesn't care.
00:19:50.980 Chappelle is having none of it.
00:19:52.260 He takes on
00:19:52.820 every PC taboo in the special.
00:19:55.020 He takes on
00:19:55.480 the Me Too movement.
00:19:56.640 He takes on
00:19:57.220 what he calls
00:19:57.580 the alphabet people,
00:19:58.880 LGBTQ,
00:20:01.240 LMNOP,
00:20:02.140 whatever.
00:20:02.820 He takes on cancel culture.
00:20:04.640 Here is just a quick clip
00:20:05.820 from the trailer
00:20:06.800 to give you an idea
00:20:08.240 about how this show is going.
00:20:09.260 I want to see
00:20:10.460 if you can guess
00:20:11.240 who it is
00:20:12.100 I'm doing an impression of.
00:20:13.540 All right?
00:20:13.860 Let me get into character.
00:20:14.700 You got to guess
00:20:15.180 who it is, though.
00:20:16.840 Okay, here it goes.
00:20:18.940 Duh.
00:20:19.560 Hey.
00:20:20.380 Duh.
00:20:20.940 If you do anything wrong
00:20:22.540 in your life,
00:20:23.400 duh,
00:20:23.720 and I find out about it,
00:20:25.000 I'm going to try
00:20:25.800 to take everything away from you.
00:20:27.320 And I don't care
00:20:27.880 when I find out.
00:20:28.760 It could be today,
00:20:29.540 tomorrow,
00:20:30.160 15, 20 years from now,
00:20:31.580 if I find out
00:20:32.600 you're f***ing,
00:20:33.660 duh, finished.
00:20:36.200 Who,
00:20:36.660 who's that?
00:20:37.240 That's you.
00:20:43.000 That's what the audience
00:20:44.000 sounds like to me.
00:20:49.900 That's why I don't be
00:20:50.860 coming out
00:20:51.360 doing comedy all the time
00:20:52.700 because y'all n****s
00:20:53.540 is the worst motherf***ers
00:20:55.080 I've ever tried to entertain
00:20:56.540 in my f***ing life.
00:21:00.400 Just absolutely spot on.
00:21:02.760 Obviously,
00:21:03.160 he's taking on
00:21:04.420 cancel culture,
00:21:05.460 and he's turning it
00:21:06.560 on the audience
00:21:07.060 in a really brilliant way
00:21:08.200 because he's talking
00:21:08.800 about something
00:21:09.280 that is so relevant
00:21:11.260 right now,
00:21:11.900 which is that,
00:21:12.440 you know,
00:21:12.720 somebody told a joke
00:21:13.620 30 years ago
00:21:14.420 and you've got to,
00:21:15.520 like,
00:21:15.880 ruin his life now
00:21:16.840 and take away his career,
00:21:18.100 take away his house
00:21:18.840 and banish him
00:21:19.560 to outer darkness
00:21:20.520 where there's wailing
00:21:21.160 and gnashing of teeth.
00:21:22.660 But he's also
00:21:23.860 pointing out the hubris,
00:21:25.260 the self-seriousness,
00:21:26.460 the arrogance
00:21:27.000 of the audience,
00:21:28.340 not just the audience
00:21:29.040 in that room,
00:21:29.640 but all of us
00:21:30.380 is the audience.
00:21:31.360 The Twitter audience,
00:21:32.820 the social media audience,
00:21:34.220 the we who,
00:21:36.660 all we do
00:21:37.340 is we wake up
00:21:38.160 in the morning
00:21:38.600 and say,
00:21:39.100 oh,
00:21:40.440 that was a good sleep.
00:21:41.800 Well,
00:21:42.180 time to get on the internet
00:21:43.060 and ruin everyone's life.
00:21:44.580 Time to get on the internet
00:21:45.560 and judge people.
00:21:47.060 Oh,
00:21:47.480 yeah,
00:21:47.620 I got a busy day.
00:21:48.360 I don't even know
00:21:48.800 if I can fit in a cup
00:21:49.760 of coffee this morning
00:21:50.560 because I have to judge
00:21:51.240 people all day
00:21:51.980 for their private remarks
00:21:55.040 30 years ago.
00:21:55.860 I'm not even judging topics.
00:21:57.260 I'm not even judging
00:21:58.240 political issues
00:21:59.580 because that's not
00:22:00.940 what people are judging.
00:22:01.860 They're judging
00:22:02.440 a joke
00:22:03.780 that some guy made
00:22:05.340 in the 90s
00:22:06.340 that has no bearing
00:22:08.800 on what was happening
00:22:10.480 right now
00:22:11.100 or political issues
00:22:11.860 or cultural issues
00:22:12.680 or religious issues.
00:22:14.600 And Chappelle
00:22:15.160 is just totally flipping on it.
00:22:17.060 He's like,
00:22:17.240 oh,
00:22:17.500 you think it's Trump
00:22:19.480 that I'm making fun of
00:22:20.420 because Trump,
00:22:20.880 he's the worst thing
00:22:21.460 in the world, right?
00:22:22.000 No,
00:22:22.200 it's you.
00:22:23.020 You're the worst thing
00:22:24.040 in the world.
00:22:24.740 It's really great.
00:22:25.820 I'm not going to spoil
00:22:26.600 the rest of the show.
00:22:27.580 That's just one bit
00:22:28.220 in the trailer.
00:22:29.340 But there is great stuff
00:22:31.020 out there.
00:22:31.420 He does a bit
00:22:32.380 on abortion
00:22:32.960 that is the funniest,
00:22:34.480 most incisive abortion bit
00:22:36.380 I've seen since Louis C.K.
00:22:37.680 is a few years ago.
00:22:39.600 Louis C.K.
00:22:40.040 is another guy
00:22:40.600 that no one's allowed
00:22:41.180 to mention.
00:22:42.000 He's now been unpersoned
00:22:43.500 because he had
00:22:44.660 a bizarre sexual history
00:22:47.120 and proclivity.
00:22:49.060 He comes up in the show.
00:22:50.260 I mean,
00:22:50.420 it's just terrific.
00:22:52.420 Dave Chappelle
00:22:52.780 doesn't care.
00:22:53.660 Dave Chappelle
00:22:54.040 is the honey badger
00:22:55.180 and the honey badger
00:22:56.820 don't give a damn.
00:22:58.420 The honey badger
00:22:59.100 does not care.
00:22:59.740 Chappelle is not,
00:23:01.520 in my estimation,
00:23:02.720 the greatest living comedian.
00:23:04.360 The greatest living comedian
00:23:05.460 is Norm MacDonald.
00:23:07.500 But Chappelle
00:23:07.940 is up there.
00:23:08.660 Chappelle
00:23:08.840 is pretty close.
00:23:10.780 Dave Chappelle
00:23:11.140 is not
00:23:11.820 the greatest
00:23:12.820 living philosopher.
00:23:14.000 I don't look to him
00:23:14.720 for political
00:23:15.440 commentary
00:23:16.660 or cultural commentary
00:23:17.940 or something.
00:23:19.840 Some comedians
00:23:20.640 do this.
00:23:21.140 George Carlin
00:23:21.760 kind of became
00:23:22.280 a philosopher
00:23:22.960 toward the end
00:23:23.860 of his life
00:23:24.640 and the end
00:23:24.940 of his career.
00:23:26.220 I can't stand that.
00:23:27.300 I can't stand
00:23:28.000 when comedians
00:23:28.600 turn their specials
00:23:29.460 into philosophy.
00:23:31.900 Chappelle
00:23:32.100 doesn't do that.
00:23:34.120 Dave Chappelle
00:23:34.460 isn't a confessional comedian.
00:23:36.420 I hate
00:23:37.200 confessional comedy.
00:23:38.420 It's the worst
00:23:39.220 where it's just all
00:23:39.860 me, me, me, me.
00:23:41.280 That's not what
00:23:41.980 Dave Chappelle does.
00:23:42.820 Dave Chappelle
00:23:43.480 writes,
00:23:44.760 crafts,
00:23:45.640 and tells
00:23:46.300 jokes
00:23:47.140 that are relevant,
00:23:48.660 that have bearing
00:23:49.380 on the truth,
00:23:50.220 that tell you something
00:23:51.220 about the world,
00:23:52.240 that most importantly
00:23:53.720 make you laugh.
00:23:55.680 Why are his jokes
00:23:56.760 funny?
00:23:57.280 Why at a time
00:23:58.020 when there are
00:23:58.580 so many clunker,
00:24:00.140 terrible Netflix
00:24:01.080 specials?
00:24:01.740 I mean,
00:24:02.560 Amy Schumer's thing
00:24:03.540 a few years ago,
00:24:04.160 it was unwatchable.
00:24:05.700 Not even just
00:24:06.380 conservatives were
00:24:07.220 saying that
00:24:07.560 because we don't
00:24:07.880 like Amy Schumer.
00:24:09.200 The left was
00:24:09.820 saying this too.
00:24:10.280 I mean,
00:24:10.380 it was just
00:24:10.620 not funny at all.
00:24:12.260 The best example
00:24:13.080 of this was Nanette,
00:24:14.440 was that Netflix
00:24:15.140 special that all
00:24:16.120 of the elite,
00:24:18.040 self-styled
00:24:18.740 elite critics said,
00:24:19.860 oh, it's changed
00:24:20.560 comedy,
00:24:21.160 it's unbelievable.
00:24:22.380 That Nanette comedy
00:24:23.520 special that came
00:24:24.220 out a couple years
00:24:24.780 ago barely
00:24:26.500 had any jokes
00:24:27.260 in it because
00:24:28.400 the way that she
00:24:30.200 changed comedy
00:24:31.160 apparently was
00:24:32.280 to turn comedy
00:24:32.920 into tragedy.
00:24:33.960 She said,
00:24:34.280 I'm not going
00:24:34.620 to tell jokes
00:24:35.160 anymore.
00:24:35.520 I'm not going
00:24:35.840 to make people
00:24:36.320 laugh anymore.
00:24:37.240 This is the new
00:24:37.900 comedy.
00:24:38.380 It's not the new
00:24:38.880 comedy,
00:24:39.220 it's called
00:24:39.440 the old tragedy.
00:24:41.080 They can't tell
00:24:41.820 jokes.
00:24:42.340 The left is not
00:24:43.480 able to do that
00:24:44.460 particularly because
00:24:46.560 they are constrained
00:24:47.960 by ideology
00:24:49.500 and Dave Chappelle
00:24:51.080 is not constrained
00:24:52.860 by ideology.
00:24:53.980 He just isn't.
00:24:55.140 It's not like I
00:24:55.700 agree with Dave
00:24:56.340 Chappelle on
00:24:56.760 everything.
00:24:57.220 I don't know,
00:24:57.440 I've never
00:24:57.640 talked to him.
00:24:58.660 I suspect he
00:24:59.340 and I don't
00:24:59.640 agree on every
00:25:00.200 single thing.
00:25:01.720 But the reason
00:25:02.580 why he can tell
00:25:03.500 jokes that make
00:25:04.120 me laugh and I
00:25:04.800 can laugh at the
00:25:05.280 jokes that he
00:25:05.720 tells is because
00:25:06.860 I do my best not
00:25:08.080 to be constrained
00:25:08.620 by ideology and
00:25:09.880 he certainly is
00:25:10.900 not constrained
00:25:11.800 by ideology.
00:25:12.460 This is a very
00:25:13.320 important political
00:25:14.760 point because
00:25:16.560 ideology is
00:25:17.800 different from
00:25:18.540 philosophy.
00:25:20.320 Ideology is
00:25:20.980 certainly different
00:25:21.560 from sort of
00:25:23.400 great religious
00:25:24.160 traditions.
00:25:25.540 It's great from
00:25:26.400 revealed religious
00:25:27.200 truth.
00:25:28.840 Ideology is
00:25:30.380 the formalized,
00:25:32.700 narrow,
00:25:33.760 abridged,
00:25:35.200 rationalized,
00:25:36.800 five bullet point
00:25:38.340 manifesto and
00:25:39.560 doctrine that
00:25:40.920 purports to
00:25:41.720 describe all of
00:25:42.720 reality.
00:25:44.140 This is what
00:25:44.540 Marxism is.
00:25:45.420 This is what
00:25:45.640 communism is.
00:25:46.480 This is what
00:25:46.880 leftism is.
00:25:48.360 It's here are
00:25:50.900 the five bullet
00:25:51.620 points that
00:25:52.160 determine the
00:25:52.800 world, that
00:25:53.180 describe the
00:25:53.740 world.
00:25:54.660 The world is a
00:25:55.440 history of class
00:25:56.240 conflict and
00:25:58.160 there is a
00:25:59.060 science of
00:25:59.500 history and at
00:26:00.340 the end of it
00:26:00.800 we'll have a
00:26:01.220 Marxist utopia.
00:26:03.860 That's what
00:26:04.780 Marxists.
00:26:04.940 So everything
00:26:05.460 that the left
00:26:07.020 sees or that
00:26:07.700 Marxists would
00:26:08.360 see is through
00:26:09.240 that lens of
00:26:09.860 class struggle and
00:26:10.780 that's it.
00:26:11.280 That's all it is.
00:26:12.400 That is an
00:26:13.300 ideology.
00:26:14.620 Conservatives
00:26:15.100 sometimes are
00:26:16.400 tempted toward
00:26:16.980 ideology,
00:26:17.740 particularly say
00:26:18.600 libertarians have
00:26:20.360 more of an
00:26:21.180 ideological viewpoint.
00:26:22.860 But traditionally
00:26:23.500 speaking conservatives
00:26:24.440 have resisted
00:26:25.640 ideology.
00:26:26.500 If you can sum up
00:26:27.440 the whole world
00:26:27.940 in five bullet
00:26:28.520 points, then you
00:26:29.460 probably don't know
00:26:30.180 very much about
00:26:30.740 the world.
00:26:31.560 If that's your
00:26:32.320 vision of all of
00:26:33.280 reality, I don't
00:26:34.640 need it because
00:26:35.220 that's BS.
00:26:38.120 Ditching ideology
00:26:38.880 doesn't mean you
00:26:39.420 don't stand for
00:26:40.020 anything, doesn't
00:26:40.560 mean you don't
00:26:40.920 have any basis
00:26:41.880 of your belief.
00:26:42.960 That's not even
00:26:43.460 possible.
00:26:44.120 Everybody's got to
00:26:44.800 serve somebody.
00:26:45.760 Every view of
00:26:48.100 the world boils
00:26:49.220 down to some
00:26:49.960 beliefs.
00:26:51.380 So for instance,
00:26:52.060 me, I'm
00:26:52.740 Catholic.
00:26:54.500 Christians, broadly
00:26:55.800 speaking, believe in
00:26:57.460 the Nicene Creed.
00:26:58.960 I believe in God,
00:26:59.800 the Father Almighty,
00:27:00.540 maker of heaven and
00:27:01.160 earth, on and on.
00:27:02.460 I recite that
00:27:03.480 creed every Sunday,
00:27:04.680 but I actually recite
00:27:05.500 it in Latin so I
00:27:06.200 don't really understand
00:27:06.960 it, which I guess
00:27:07.560 makes me even less
00:27:08.240 ideological.
00:27:09.580 That is what I
00:27:10.320 believe.
00:27:10.940 I believe that.
00:27:12.100 Credo in unum
00:27:12.840 deum.
00:27:13.380 You know, every
00:27:13.960 Christian church,
00:27:16.060 every actual
00:27:16.820 Christian church
00:27:17.380 recites that
00:27:18.240 creed.
00:27:19.000 That is the
00:27:19.420 Christian creed.
00:27:21.500 That's what I
00:27:22.260 believe, and
00:27:23.400 everything else is
00:27:24.180 fair game.
00:27:24.880 It's why I don't
00:27:25.300 get exercised over
00:27:26.380 tax rates changing.
00:27:28.380 It's why I don't
00:27:29.260 lose my mind over
00:27:31.340 some new tariff
00:27:32.340 policy.
00:27:33.260 Okay, one policy
00:27:34.900 could be better
00:27:35.360 than the other.
00:27:36.540 Whatever.
00:27:37.020 I'm open-minded.
00:27:39.260 Because the left
00:27:40.640 punts on eternal
00:27:42.220 questions such as
00:27:43.480 that, such as the
00:27:44.960 basis of reality,
00:27:46.240 the basis of
00:27:46.760 belief, because they
00:27:47.740 punt on those
00:27:48.580 questions, they
00:27:49.980 basically have
00:27:50.600 embraced materialism
00:27:51.660 or secularism or
00:27:52.480 atheism.
00:27:53.580 They make a
00:27:54.540 religious idol out
00:27:56.220 of political
00:27:56.740 ideology.
00:27:57.900 That becomes the
00:27:58.780 religion, and as a
00:28:00.140 result, they can't
00:28:01.340 laugh.
00:28:01.640 If you make a joke
00:28:02.580 about transgenderism,
00:28:04.360 you say, you know,
00:28:04.800 I'm pretty sure, I'm
00:28:07.300 pretty sure that that
00:28:08.480 big giant burly guy
00:28:09.780 over there who's got
00:28:10.580 a big beard and like
00:28:11.660 face tattoos and more
00:28:13.040 muscles than I've ever
00:28:13.940 seen in my life, I'm
00:28:14.780 pretty sure that guy is
00:28:16.760 not a little girl.
00:28:20.360 Pretty sure.
00:28:20.980 If you just make that
00:28:21.780 observation, it's not
00:28:22.220 even a joke, that's an
00:28:22.880 observation.
00:28:25.260 They won't laugh.
00:28:26.740 They won't agree with
00:28:27.640 you.
00:28:28.060 They won't grant you
00:28:28.780 any premise.
00:28:29.240 They will frown.
00:28:29.960 They will be angry
00:28:30.620 because you've
00:28:31.080 contradicted what more
00:28:32.980 or less has become
00:28:33.760 their religion.
00:28:35.120 As a result, they
00:28:36.080 can't laugh.
00:28:36.920 I mean, you know, we
00:28:38.720 laugh at things because
00:28:39.400 they're true.
00:28:40.140 You know, comedians are
00:28:41.580 pointing out the
00:28:42.500 absurdities of life, and
00:28:43.980 so, to use one example,
00:28:45.400 if you say that giant
00:28:46.240 burly dude over there
00:28:47.180 with his shaved head
00:28:48.080 and a big beard and,
00:28:49.100 you know, he's like
00:28:49.860 chomping on chewing
00:28:50.740 tobacco or something,
00:28:51.740 he's not a cute little
00:28:53.120 girl.
00:28:53.800 If you point that out,
00:28:55.200 that's funny.
00:28:55.800 People would laugh at
00:28:56.880 that unless you're so
00:28:58.140 constrained and warped by
00:28:59.160 ideology that you can't
00:29:01.040 even laugh at Dave
00:29:02.380 Chappelle.
00:29:03.280 But you should.
00:29:04.100 You will laugh.
00:29:04.880 Go check it out.
00:29:05.380 It's a really, really
00:29:05.900 great special.
00:29:06.640 Got to get to some
00:29:07.120 2020 news.
00:29:09.180 Joe Biden is tanking
00:29:11.480 in the polls.
00:29:13.260 We will get to that
00:29:13.960 in just one second.
00:29:15.640 We will also, we'll get
00:29:16.560 to why Joe Biden is
00:29:17.560 tanking in the polls
00:29:18.200 and why it was right.
00:29:19.160 We'll get to the bigger
00:29:20.040 story at the basis
00:29:22.340 of that, which is a new
00:29:23.500 poll showing that young
00:29:24.340 Americans' values have
00:29:25.900 radically changed.
00:29:26.880 They are radically
00:29:27.820 abandoning their
00:29:29.220 traditional values.
00:29:30.320 But first, I've got to
00:29:32.260 let you know to tune
00:29:32.900 in today, 7 p.m.

00:30:15.480 We've got to look at
00:30:16.320 2020, and poor old Joe,
00:30:18.940 poor old sleepy Joe,
00:30:20.620 is collapsing in his
00:30:22.780 support.
00:30:24.560 This new poll is coming
00:30:25.920 out from Monmouth
00:30:26.900 University.
00:30:27.380 It has him down
00:30:28.200 13 points.
00:30:30.180 He is now in a
00:30:30.760 statistical dead heat
00:30:31.820 in this poll with
00:30:33.120 Bernie Sanders and
00:30:34.400 Elizabeth Warren.
00:30:35.640 Now, this is the worst
00:30:36.560 poll for him so far.
00:30:37.520 Other polls still have
00:30:38.300 him up a bit, but it's
00:30:39.800 also the latest poll,
00:30:40.720 so it might not be an
00:30:41.460 outlier.
00:30:41.940 It might just be showing
00:30:42.600 us things to come.
00:30:44.340 This is not terribly
00:30:45.300 surprising for those of
00:30:46.340 us who said that Joe
00:30:47.120 Biden would pretty much
00:30:48.380 peak at the very
00:30:49.040 beginning and then
00:30:49.700 kind of steadily lose
00:30:50.480 support so long as
00:30:52.040 other candidates were
00:30:53.020 able to show that
00:30:54.460 they had any chance
00:30:55.660 whatsoever of beating
00:30:57.020 Donald Trump.
00:30:58.940 Even worse for Joe
00:30:59.860 Biden here is that his
00:31:01.100 support is collapsing
00:31:02.120 among every single
00:31:03.440 demographic, so he's
00:31:04.900 down among whites,
00:31:06.360 blacks, high school
00:31:07.460 grads, college grads,
00:31:09.060 men, women, and voters
00:31:10.700 over 50.
00:31:11.880 Especially bad for him
00:31:13.080 is losing voters over
00:31:14.080 50 and black voters
00:31:15.840 because those two
00:31:18.320 groups are groups that
00:31:19.800 he had a pretty decent
00:31:20.720 hold on among the
00:31:21.480 Democrats.
00:31:21.840 Democrats and, you know,
00:31:23.560 if Democrats, for
00:31:24.540 instance, can't pick up
00:31:25.580 any older voters, you
00:31:26.900 know, any voters over
00:31:27.680 the age of 50, since I
00:31:29.680 think the median, gung-ho,
00:31:31.340 rabid Democratic voter is
00:31:32.820 like 11.
00:31:33.680 That's why they want to
00:31:34.240 lower the voting age.
00:31:35.380 But if they can't
00:31:36.660 maintain some support
00:31:37.520 among black voters and
00:31:38.760 voters over 50, they're
00:31:40.380 in serious trouble and
00:31:41.560 Joe Biden is showing
00:31:42.280 weakness there as well.
00:31:43.580 Why is this happening?
00:31:44.980 Three reasons.
00:31:46.020 First one is Joe Biden is
00:31:47.620 obviously losing his
00:31:48.740 marbles.
00:31:49.140 This is not even to
00:31:51.180 lob a bomb or to be mean
00:31:54.160 or cruel to Uncle Joe.
00:31:55.500 He's just old and it's
00:31:58.720 not to say that older
00:31:59.640 people can't be
00:32:01.000 president.
00:32:01.520 Obviously, President
00:32:02.160 Trump is not a spring
00:32:04.600 chicken himself, but Biden
00:32:06.920 seems to be declining
00:32:08.120 mentally and physically.
00:32:09.360 Here's a recent video of
00:32:10.280 Joe Biden struggling to
00:32:11.660 string a sentence
00:32:12.700 together, even one
00:32:14.080 coherent sentence, while
00:32:15.460 talking about health
00:32:16.260 care policy.
00:32:16.760 We also have a
00:32:18.240 mechanism to control
00:32:19.560 drug prices.
00:32:21.180 You know, we're no
00:32:22.800 longer using chemical
00:32:23.820 based things.
00:32:24.580 All this thing dealing
00:32:26.200 with cancers and other
00:32:27.560 issues relating to the
00:32:28.640 immune system are
00:32:29.600 bio-oriented.
00:32:30.840 They're very expensive
00:32:31.880 and we should set up a
00:32:32.940 system, as I propose,
00:32:34.080 which I will if I'm
00:32:35.140 elected president, that
00:32:36.540 allows the folks at
00:32:38.180 the health department
00:32:42.860 in the United States,
00:32:44.660 HHS, to be able to go
00:32:46.400 out and bring together
00:32:48.100 outside experts and
00:32:50.020 make a judgment when
00:32:51.040 there's a patent being
00:32:51.920 sought by a drug
00:32:53.300 company, what that
00:32:54.620 patent, what it's worth,
00:32:56.500 what the range is.
00:32:58.460 What, what, what, what,
00:32:59.160 what, what on earth is
00:33:00.840 going on?
00:33:01.560 Now, in that video, he
00:33:03.620 looks like he's struggling
00:33:04.960 to come up with his
00:33:05.860 thoughts.
00:33:06.340 Either that's because of
00:33:07.520 permanent mental decline
00:33:09.020 or it's because he's
00:33:10.060 really tired.
00:33:10.840 And I'm willing to give
00:33:12.040 him the benefit of the
00:33:12.740 doubt and say he's
00:33:13.380 really tired.
00:33:14.260 Third, campaign trails
00:33:15.580 are exhausting.
00:33:16.360 I've been on presidential
00:33:17.060 campaigns before.
00:33:18.100 It is unbelievably
00:33:19.340 physically demanding.
00:33:21.100 Any campaign, not just
00:33:22.020 presidential, but
00:33:22.720 congressional races.
00:33:23.640 I mean, you run for
00:33:24.100 dog catcher, it's a
00:33:24.900 tough thing to do.
00:33:26.040 And it takes a lot out
00:33:27.680 of you.
00:33:27.900 It even takes out a lot
00:33:28.820 for young men.
00:33:30.740 You have to be up to
00:33:31.700 the physical aspect of
00:33:32.860 that job.
00:33:33.560 It actually gives you a
00:33:34.560 lot of respect just on a
00:33:36.160 physical basis for guys
00:33:37.920 like Trump and Reagan.
00:33:40.060 You know, when Reagan was
00:33:41.000 meeting Gorbachev for the
00:33:42.020 first time, you got Reagan,
00:33:43.460 the oldest president in
00:33:44.460 American history at that
00:33:45.400 time, and he was going to
00:33:47.960 go meet Gorbachev outside.
00:33:49.700 He was going to, he was
00:33:50.380 indoors.
00:33:50.820 He was going to go down
00:33:51.320 the stairs and meet
00:33:51.940 Gorbachev outside in the
00:33:53.160 winter.
00:33:53.640 So Gorbachev gets out and
00:33:55.560 he's wearing this big,
00:33:56.600 heavy coat because it's
00:33:57.960 wintertime.
00:33:59.060 Reagan ditches the coat.
00:34:01.000 He won't wear the coat.
00:34:02.160 He comes out of the door and
00:34:03.780 hops down the stairs, moves
00:34:06.420 very quickly down those
00:34:07.520 stairs, and he just looked
00:34:09.060 like a vigorous young man.
00:34:10.740 Meanwhile, Gorbachev, who
00:34:12.340 was younger, looked like he
00:34:14.100 was older, looked like he
00:34:15.400 needed the coat, looked like
00:34:16.420 he was moving more slowly.
00:34:18.040 And the optics matter, the
00:34:19.680 images matter when you're
00:34:20.820 talking about the leader of
00:34:21.800 the free world, when you're
00:34:22.620 talking about any sort of
00:34:23.960 politician.
00:34:24.740 Same thing with Trump.
00:34:25.740 I mean, Trump, by all
00:34:26.660 accounts, you can lob any
00:34:28.040 criticism of him that you
00:34:29.140 want.
00:34:29.620 He's reckless.
00:34:30.500 He's impetuous.
00:34:31.540 He doesn't read.
00:34:32.440 He doesn't this.
00:34:33.100 All the typical attacks
00:34:35.120 against him.
00:34:36.240 The one thing that nobody,
00:34:38.200 not even his worst critic
00:34:39.400 can say, is that he doesn't
00:34:41.220 have energy.
00:34:42.440 I mean, he pretty much got
00:34:43.940 the GOP nomination because
00:34:45.540 he contrasted his high energy
00:34:47.080 with Jeb Bush's low energy.
00:34:49.220 Trump is a high energy guy.
00:34:51.280 He, by all accounts, doesn't
00:34:52.820 sleep very much every night.
00:34:54.400 He's constantly working.
00:34:55.760 He's constantly vigorous.
00:34:57.340 When he's not working, he's
00:34:58.140 out schmoozing on the golf
00:34:59.520 course.
00:34:59.960 He's just kind of moving
00:35:01.240 around.
00:35:01.640 I mean, he's like sort of a
00:35:02.400 medical wonder because he
00:35:03.820 doesn't exercise.
00:35:05.040 He brags about how he
00:35:05.920 doesn't exercise.
00:35:06.680 He eats fast food and drinks
00:35:08.180 Diet Coke.
00:35:08.780 At this point, he's probably
00:35:09.640 just so preserved by the
00:35:11.300 chemicals that he can move
00:35:12.440 around.
00:35:12.800 He'll outlive us all.
00:35:14.360 That matters.
00:35:15.600 Nobody thinks of Donald
00:35:16.780 Trump as a doddering old
00:35:17.900 man because Donald Trump
00:35:19.300 has more energy than you do.
00:35:20.860 Ronald Reagan had the same
00:35:21.900 thing.
00:35:22.260 He was just a vigorous guy
00:35:23.280 who was riding horses all
00:35:25.200 the time while he was
00:35:25.920 president and after he was
00:35:27.960 president.
00:35:28.400 He wasn't even riding
00:35:29.140 Western.
00:35:29.520 He was riding English.
00:35:30.620 He was riding even a more
00:35:32.440 vigorous style of horse
00:35:34.100 riding.
00:35:35.180 Joe Biden doesn't have that.
00:35:36.060 And if he doesn't have that
00:35:36.960 now, he's not going to have
00:35:37.840 it in a year and he's not
00:35:38.780 going to have it if he were
00:35:40.040 ever elected president.
00:35:43.220 That's just the first problem
00:35:44.840 going on with Joe Biden.
00:35:45.900 The second problem is he
00:35:46.860 didn't have many marbles to
00:35:48.180 lose to begin with because
00:35:49.280 he's always been kind of a
00:35:50.460 doofus.
00:35:50.960 He graduated toward the
00:35:51.980 bottom of his law school
00:35:52.800 class.
00:35:53.420 He had to drop out of the
00:35:54.260 1988 presidential race
00:35:55.660 because of that.
00:35:57.000 He had to drop out because
00:35:57.920 he lied about his law school
00:35:59.000 record and because he
00:35:59.740 plagiarized speeches.
00:36:01.180 He's always been just kind of
00:36:02.540 a doof, a doofus.
00:36:04.500 2008, he was nothing.
00:36:06.620 He really didn't do very
00:36:07.620 much when he was in the
00:36:08.340 Senate other than that 94
00:36:09.760 crime bill, which was a very
00:36:11.120 good crime bill, actually.
00:36:12.420 And it's the one thing in his
00:36:13.460 career he really has to run
00:36:14.660 away from.
00:36:15.480 So he's losing it.
00:36:16.720 He didn't have much to lose to
00:36:17.600 begin with.
00:36:18.100 And third, voters'
00:36:19.680 priorities and values are
00:36:21.900 changing.
00:36:23.180 This is the most important
00:36:24.040 part.
00:36:24.620 This is the biggest issue for
00:36:26.760 Biden and for the country.
00:36:29.080 Ernest Hemingway describes
00:36:30.300 going bankrupt as it
00:36:31.520 happening gradually, then
00:36:33.540 suddenly.
00:36:35.040 That's what we're seeing
00:36:35.860 here with the changing
00:36:36.600 values of this country.
00:36:38.020 Biden represents an old
00:36:39.320 guard.
00:36:39.780 I'm not saying he's a
00:36:40.420 moderate.
00:36:40.840 He's not a moderate.
00:36:41.760 But he does represent
00:36:42.800 something a little older.
00:36:44.880 For instance, he's
00:36:46.000 patriotic.
00:36:47.580 He at least pays lip
00:36:48.700 service to love of country
00:36:49.860 and patriotism.
00:36:51.280 The other Democrats don't.
00:36:52.780 And this is changing.
00:36:54.120 This is a new thing.
00:36:55.600 They don't like the
00:36:56.460 country.
00:36:57.200 Now, you might say the
00:36:58.280 Democrats never liked the
00:36:59.220 country.
00:36:59.660 The left always hated the
00:37:00.600 country.
00:37:01.260 Maybe, but at least they paid
00:37:03.400 lip service to it.
00:37:04.320 At least hypocrisy is the
00:37:05.700 tribute that vice pays to
00:37:06.840 virtue.
00:37:07.680 Now they are openly
00:37:09.100 denigrating the country.
00:37:11.920 Andy Cuomo, Democratic
00:37:13.320 governor of New York, says
00:37:14.440 America was never that
00:37:15.400 great.
00:37:16.300 Barack Obama says, I don't
00:37:17.360 believe in American
00:37:18.080 exceptionalism.
00:37:19.460 I believe in it the way the
00:37:20.520 Greeks believe in Greek
00:37:21.340 exceptionalism.
00:37:22.660 You have other candidates
00:37:24.220 now saying America's
00:37:25.060 hopelessly racist,
00:37:26.980 hopelessly bigoted.
00:37:28.160 There's no, there's no way
00:37:29.820 to ever redeem America.
00:37:32.640 You, you have elected
00:37:34.260 Democratic politicians,
00:37:35.660 presidential candidates,
00:37:37.140 openly denigrating the
00:37:38.520 American flag, supporting
00:37:40.540 people who are protesting
00:37:41.800 the American flag, which is
00:37:42.880 not just a symbol of one
00:37:44.620 institution or one aspect
00:37:45.840 of the country.
00:37:46.320 It's a symbol of the whole
00:37:47.360 country, the entire nation.
00:37:50.800 They're openly hostile to
00:37:52.320 America and this reflects a
00:37:53.500 broader trend among younger
00:37:55.400 voters.
00:37:55.900 They're just following where
00:37:56.700 their voters are going.
00:37:58.500 In this election,
00:37:59.740 millennials will rise up to
00:38:01.780 possibly match or nearly
00:38:04.340 match baby boomers as
00:38:06.660 eligible voters.
00:38:07.660 Now that doesn't mean
00:38:08.220 they're going to come out
00:38:08.780 and vote at the same rates
00:38:09.780 as baby boomers.
00:38:10.560 Young, young Americans don't
00:38:11.980 vote at the same rates as
00:38:12.920 older Americans.
00:38:13.520 So probably the boomers are
00:38:14.900 still going to vote at a
00:38:15.520 higher rate, but they're,
00:38:16.940 they're slowly and steadily,
00:38:19.960 gradually, then suddenly
00:38:21.240 taking control of the
00:38:23.280 country and the politicians
00:38:24.820 that rely on them for
00:38:25.880 votes are paying
00:38:26.480 attention.
00:38:27.440 That spells trouble because
00:38:29.060 millennials are not as
00:38:30.720 patriotic as past
00:38:32.400 generations.
00:38:33.340 Don't take my word for it.
00:38:34.840 It's not just insinuation.
00:38:36.000 This is according to a new
00:38:36.920 poll out from Wall Street
00:38:37.860 Journal, New York, or
00:38:39.080 Wall Street Journal and NBC,
00:38:40.640 which shows American values
00:38:43.400 are shifting dramatically,
00:38:45.340 gradually, then suddenly.
00:38:46.360 This is from the, from the
00:38:48.160 article.
00:38:49.160 Patriotism, religion, and
00:38:50.760 having children rate lower
00:38:52.820 among younger generations
00:38:54.040 than they did two decades ago.
00:38:55.440 And they rate much lower.
00:38:57.060 21 years ago, they took this
00:38:59.140 poll.
00:39:00.120 Strong majorities of Americans
00:39:02.040 chose the principles of hard
00:39:04.120 work, patriotism, commitment to
00:39:05.800 religion, and the goal of having
00:39:06.920 children as being the most
00:39:08.200 important to them.
00:39:10.360 Now, the good news is millennials
00:39:12.100 and Gen Z still value hard work.
00:39:15.360 They still like that.
00:39:16.180 But their only other sacredly held
00:39:18.260 value is tolerance.
00:39:22.260 Tolerance.
00:39:22.920 Religion, patriotism, even having
00:39:25.660 children rate much, much lower.
00:39:28.340 This is a direct result of losing
00:39:30.520 religion.
00:39:32.160 St. Andrew Breitbart, the patron of
00:39:33.800 Hollywood Conservatives, said
00:39:34.780 politics is downstream of culture and
00:39:37.020 we know culture is downstream of
00:39:38.720 religion.
00:39:40.320 Cult and culture are related words.
00:39:42.100 What the culture worships defines that
00:39:44.060 culture and this problem goes all
00:39:46.400 the way to the foundation of
00:39:47.760 society, religion.
00:39:49.580 Because when they say tolerance,
00:39:50.740 they don't really mean tolerance.
00:39:52.000 Tolerance is one of the most
00:39:52.860 abused words in the English
00:39:53.960 language today.
00:39:55.020 This started in the 1960s when the
00:39:57.140 father of the new left, Herbert
00:39:58.960 Marcuse, wrote an essay called
00:40:00.740 Repressive Tolerance in which he
00:40:02.980 said we can no longer tolerate
00:40:04.420 intolerance and so tolerance needs
00:40:05.980 to become intolerant.
00:40:07.320 This, when conservatives joke about
00:40:08.900 the so-called tolerant left, which is
00:40:11.380 always attacking conservatives and
00:40:13.400 shutting us down, trying to get us
00:40:14.740 kicked off campus, in some cases
00:40:16.280 physically attacking us, they're
00:40:18.400 obviously not being tolerant.
00:40:20.340 They're being tolerant by this new
00:40:21.560 definition of tolerance.
00:40:23.260 Capital T, it's the value of
00:40:25.980 secular religion.
00:40:28.340 What it really means is it's the
00:40:30.240 value of multiculturalism, capital
00:40:32.240 M, and cultural relativism, capital
00:40:35.020 letters, right?
00:40:36.920 Those ideas mean that nothing is true
00:40:38.980 objectively.
00:40:40.640 Therefore, tolerance and hard work are
00:40:43.000 all that we can value.
00:40:44.140 The thing that's really troubling
00:40:45.240 about this too, because look, we all
00:40:46.940 like hard work, at least we can all
00:40:48.400 agree that hard work is a good value,
00:40:50.440 except in this case it spells trouble
00:40:52.920 because it means that we increasingly
00:40:56.500 only value things that have to do with
00:40:58.820 our will, not with our intellect.
00:41:02.480 Hard work and tolerance are values of
00:41:04.840 the will.
00:41:05.860 You can just sort of will yourself to do
00:41:07.300 it. Grit your teeth and tolerate stuff
00:41:09.320 you don't like.
00:41:10.620 That's the good version of tolerance.
00:41:12.280 Or grit your teeth and tolerate only
00:41:14.440 tolerant opinions and don't tolerate the
00:41:16.000 intolerant opinions and kick them out
00:41:17.160 of your campus.
00:41:18.100 But you're still, it's all about the
00:41:19.460 will. It's not about actually thinking
00:41:21.280 this is true and beautiful.
00:41:22.500 This is better than this.
00:41:23.840 This is, this is more accurate than
00:41:25.620 this. This is objectively true.
00:41:27.100 It's just the will.
00:41:28.720 Same thing when it comes to hard work.
00:41:32.260 Hard work, you just grit your teeth and
00:41:33.740 do it, right?
00:41:34.480 Not because of any intellectual scheme or
00:41:37.420 reason, the scheme of reason, but you
00:41:39.560 just will yourself to do work.
00:41:44.580 Religion, patriotism are values of the
00:41:48.040 intellect.
00:41:49.000 You can't, you can't even really will
00:41:51.200 yourself into it if the intellect won't
00:41:52.820 go with you.
00:41:54.120 You, you subscribe to a religion because
00:41:56.100 you think it's true.
00:41:58.220 Because you think God exists and he has a
00:42:00.620 son named Jesus Christ and he, Christ
00:42:03.260 instituted a church and you go to mass for
00:42:05.480 that reason and he instituted sacraments
00:42:07.820 and you have those sacraments.
00:42:08.880 It's, there is an act of will obviously, but
00:42:11.300 it's part of the intellect that comes
00:42:13.300 along too.
00:42:14.100 Same thing with patriotism.
00:42:15.340 You can't just will yourself into loving
00:42:17.740 your country.
00:42:18.700 You can't will yourself into loving
00:42:19.800 anything really.
00:42:21.100 You can go through the motions, but
00:42:23.040 there has to be intellectual assent at
00:42:25.240 some point.
00:42:25.920 You have to really love your country.
00:42:27.820 Why do I love my country?
00:42:28.800 Because it's a great country.
00:42:30.480 Why do I love my parents?
00:42:31.360 Because they're great parents.
00:42:32.080 I mean, it's the same kind of thing.
00:42:34.540 It's the same sort of filial piety.
00:42:36.980 I will my love, obviously.
00:42:39.100 I enact my love of country, my
00:42:41.180 patriotism, but I intellectually assent
00:42:43.520 to that as well.
00:42:44.860 And we have undercut our own confidence
00:42:47.500 in our faculties of reason.
00:42:51.100 Nothing is true.
00:42:52.280 Nothing can be believed.
00:42:53.260 It's radical skepticism.
00:42:54.680 You do you.
00:42:55.740 I'll do me.
00:42:56.720 I can't ever tell you.
00:42:58.680 I can't impose my views.
00:43:00.340 Nothing.
00:43:00.840 Stop being so judgy.
00:43:03.080 These kind of slogans, these kind of ideas
00:43:05.340 are undercutting the basis of our politics
00:43:09.920 itself, the basis of self-government,
00:43:12.440 the basis of open debate, the basis of true
00:43:14.900 tolerance.
00:43:15.420 When you lose those things,
00:43:20.880 we're kind of living on the fumes of them.
00:43:23.380 We're living right now in the fumes of religion
00:43:25.160 and patriotism.
00:43:27.140 Once that's gone, we have no reason
00:43:28.840 to participate in our institutions,
00:43:30.880 to have reasonable debate,
00:43:32.640 to have open rhetoric,
00:43:34.880 to have open discourse in this country.
00:43:36.760 When it just becomes about the will,
00:43:39.200 then we will assert our will on others.
00:43:41.760 You see the left doing that increasingly.
00:43:44.760 It's just all about willfulness
00:43:46.500 and what they want.
00:43:47.520 They're going to get what they want
00:43:48.680 because they want it when they want it.
00:43:51.440 And that is an unrecognizable country.
00:43:54.400 When you stop loving your country,
00:43:55.860 don't be surprised when you wake up
00:43:57.940 and the country looks very different
00:43:59.080 than you remember it.
00:44:00.680 That's our show.
00:44:01.260 We've got a lot more to get to,
00:44:02.260 but we will just have to do it tomorrow.

00:45:04.060 Hey everyone, it's Andrew Klavan,
00:45:06.320 host of The Andrew Klavan Show.
00:45:08.040 You know, people are saying
00:45:08.960 that America has never been so divided
00:45:10.960 and they can say that all they want,
00:45:12.600 but it's completely and utterly untrue.
00:45:14.680 What is true is that there's never been a time,
00:45:17.300 at least not in my memory,
00:45:18.580 when the elite establishment
00:45:19.920 has been rooting so hard against the country
00:45:22.720 that has given them everything they have.
00:45:24.720 I'll show you what I mean
00:45:25.500 on The Andrew Klavan Show.
