Transcript

00:00:00.000 With just 20 days to go before the Iowa caucuses, the Democrats faced off last night in Des Moines,
00:00:06.400 Iowa, and everybody lost. That's right, nobody won. Not Biden, not Bernie, not Warren, not Pete,
00:00:13.960 not the voters, not the viewers. Every candidate did terribly. We will examine why and how that
00:00:20.800 train wreck happened and what it means for 2020. Then, House Democrats refused to condemn Iran
00:00:27.140 for attacking us. Vince Vaughn gets canceled for shaking hands with the president.
00:00:32.020 And Mike Bloomberg goes full boomer. All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles,
00:00:36.720 and this is The Michael Knowles Show. You have to know that I love you. You, my faithful listener,
00:00:50.860 I love you so much that I sat through every single minute of that tedious, awful, boring,
00:01:00.500 creepy, terrible, terrible, terrible debate for you so that I could bring you the moments.
00:01:08.880 We were only watching for one reason, those few of you who did watch and me. We were watching for
00:01:15.220 one reason, and that was to see fireworks between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. In recent days,
00:01:22.400 just the past three days or so, Warren leaked a story to CNN that Bernie Sanders, during a 2018
00:01:31.180 meeting, told her that a woman can't win the White House in 2020. Bernie's camp denied this,
00:01:38.180 then Warren's camp corroborated this. I mean, they didn't really corroborate it. They just backed her up
00:01:42.920 and said, yeah, I heard her. I heard him say this. I was in the meeting. And then Elizabeth Warren said
00:01:47.380 it happened too. Elizabeth Warren was asked about this by reporters. She said, yeah, he thought that
00:01:52.280 a woman couldn't win. I thought a woman could win. But anyway, we're moving on. Now, the fact that the
00:01:57.740 Warren campaign leaked this to CNN is important because CNN was hosting the debate. So that's what
00:02:02.380 we were all tuning in for, right? Was to see, finally, these candidates are going to take the gloves
00:02:05.900 off. Warren and Sanders have had this kind of friendly relationship so far. They've been teaming up to go
00:02:11.160 after the other candidates. Now they're going to go after one another, right? Wrong. CNN asks the
00:02:16.380 question. They finally bring it up. First, the question goes to Bernie Sanders. Bernie, did you
00:02:22.900 say this thing in 2018? Bernie Sanders gives an unequivocal, no way. CNN reported yesterday that,
00:02:31.160 and Senator Sanders, Senator Warren confirmed in a statement that in 2018, you told her that you did
00:02:38.160 not believe that a woman could win the election. Why did you say that? Well, as a matter of fact,
00:02:43.880 I didn't say it. And I don't want to waste a whole lot of time on this because this is what Donald
00:02:48.840 Trump and maybe some of the media want. Anybody knows me, knows that it's incomprehensible that I
00:02:56.080 would think that a woman could not be president of the United States. Go to YouTube today. There's a
00:03:01.200 video of me 30 years ago talking about how a woman could become president of the United States.
00:03:08.000 In 2015, I deferred, in fact, to Senator Warren. There was a movement to draft Senator Warren to
00:03:15.480 run for president. And you know what? I stayed back. Senator Warren decided not to run, and I did run
00:03:22.520 afterwards. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes. How could anybody in a million
00:03:31.140 years not believe that a woman could become president of the United States? And let me be
00:03:36.200 very clear. If any of the women on this stage or any of the men on this stage win the nomination,
00:03:42.200 I hope that's not the case. I hope it's me. But if they do, I will do everything in my power to make
00:03:48.740 sure that they are elected in order to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of our
00:03:54.500 country. All right. This is what I would expect. This answer is exactly what I would expect. I never
00:03:59.980 believed Elizabeth Warren's story. It just doesn't make any sense. Why? Because Bernie Sanders would
00:04:06.460 have to be insane to make that comment to one of his competitors. And Bernie might be many things.
00:04:13.060 He might be a wild ideologue. He might be an old communist codger, but he's not insane. There is
00:04:23.220 actually a sort of internal logic to his political ideology. He has an insane ideology, right? I mean,
00:04:29.420 he has an ideology that one should not hold, but he's not a political maniac, okay? The guy's been able
00:04:36.020 to stay in office for a very long time. It would be so profoundly politically foolish to make that sort of
00:04:42.160 comment. Second of all, Bernie is not in any way a sexist. There's just no evidence of it. You could say
00:04:50.220 a lot of things about the guy, but there's no evidence that he would even hold that view that a woman
00:04:55.280 couldn't become president. The guy's a radical. He's been a radical for a long time. I'm not surprised he said
00:04:59.840 in the 80s that a woman could become president. Third, Elizabeth Warren is one of the most notorious
00:05:06.780 liars in the country. So if I got to choose who's being honest here, the woman who lied about her
00:05:11.940 Native American ancestry, lied about where her kids went to school, lied about getting fired for
00:05:16.220 being pregnant or Bernie Sanders, who's an old coot, but is pretty consistent. I'm going to go with
00:05:22.780 Bernie Sanders. Listen to how CNN, they phrased the question. They said, why did you say that to
00:05:29.500 Elizabeth Warren? Elizabeth Warren is alleging that you said that a woman can't become president.
00:05:34.820 You're saying you never said that. Why did you say that? And then it gets so much worse when CNN
00:05:42.580 turns the question to Elizabeth Warren. We'll get to that in a second. First, I got to thank
00:05:45.520 our friends over at Ebb. Ebb Sleep. I know that we got a lot of insomniacs out there in the audience.
00:05:53.940 I know my friend Andrew Klavan. Insomniac, he hasn't slept for probably 30, 40 years. And I know that's
00:06:00.160 for many of you. If you've tried everything with little success, it is time for you to try Ebb.
00:06:06.400 What is Ebb? Ebb Sleep is a wearable solution that fits over the forehead and gently and precisely
00:06:13.800 cools the forehead to reduce those racing thoughts, to allow people who are suffering from sleeplessness
00:06:19.120 to drift more comfortably into deeper and more restorative sleep. It's so simple and yet it's
00:06:26.220 medically backed up. Ebb is clinically validated. Four out of five users report falling asleep faster
00:06:32.020 and improving overall sleep quality. The science is simple. The science is that when your mind is
00:06:36.900 racing for insomniacs, when you put this kind of cooling mask over your forehead, it reduces those
00:06:43.580 racing thoughts. The mind's normal way of dealing with stress and challenge is to be on guard and to
00:06:47.920 be vigilant. You've got to be really aroused and ready to go. And so to get a good night's sleep,
00:06:53.720 you've got to reverse that. Ebb's cooling, calming nature is designed to counteract the way that the
00:06:58.180 mind and body reacts to stressful situations. It's a really, really innovative solution. If
00:07:04.520 you've tried everything to get to sleep, you've got to try this. This is clinically backed.
00:07:08.320 Have the energy to do the things that you love again by getting the sleep that you need. Ebb's
00:07:13.100 natural solution has no morning side effects and allows you to get back to your peak performance.
00:07:17.400 I wore it just last night and now I'm all ready and raring to go to do this show. And it's very
00:07:22.680 early here on the, on the West coast. So you've got to try this thing out. Our listeners can now try
00:07:28.360 Ebb risk-free for 60 nights to confirm it's the solution you've been looking for. There's no reason
00:07:33.200 not to try it. Tryeb.com slash Knowles. That's T-R-Y-E-B-B.com slash Knowles. Tryeb.com slash Knowles.
00:07:39.460 Order it today to get the sleep you need and deserve. CNN from the beginning is, is accepting the
00:07:47.400 premise that Elizabeth Warren is telling the truth, which is always a bad premise to accept.
00:07:52.140 You should never assume that Elizabeth Warren is ever telling the truth. They ask Bernie,
00:07:57.120 why did you say this? Bernie says, I never said this. So then they turned to Elizabeth Warren
00:08:01.740 and they ask her, I kid you not, why, how did you feel when Bernie Sanders said this to you?
00:08:08.800 So Senator Sanders, Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here. You're saying that you never told
00:08:15.640 Senator Warren that a woman could not win the election. That is correct.
00:08:20.460 Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?
00:08:27.480 I disagreed. Bernie is my friend and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie.
00:08:33.700 Okay. That she's lying, right? You can, this is how you can tell she's lying. Here's the proof.
00:08:40.800 She evaded the question. When it was posed to her like that, she evaded the question.
00:08:46.420 How did you feel when he said this? She goes, I disagreed, but I'm not here to fight with Bernie.
00:08:51.400 Of course you're here to fight with Bernie. What are you talking about? You're at a presidential
00:08:54.780 debate. By the way, you leaked this to CNN. Who's hosting the debate? Now, if it were a true claim that
00:09:02.060 she were making, she would have leaked it to CNN. She would have brought it up at the debate. If she
00:09:06.880 didn't bring it up, the moderator would have brought it up. She would have pounced on it,
00:09:10.360 but it isn't true. And she doesn't want to have to defend it. So she evades the question
00:09:14.060 because the real reason she leaked it is she just wants this kind of muck out there. She just wants
00:09:18.800 this insinuation that Bernie Sanders is a sexist and a chauvinist and a misogynist, but she doesn't
00:09:25.520 want to have to defend it because she's got no evidence for it. Just like she's got no evidence that
00:09:29.420 she's Native American, even though she claimed to be Native American for decades to advance her law
00:09:35.160 career. She's got no evidence for the fact that her kids didn't go to public school. She's got no
00:09:40.840 evidence for the fact that she was fired for being pregnant from her job as a teacher. She's got no
00:09:45.140 evidence for any of that stuff. Now, I asked myself when CNN was asking the question, why are they
00:09:53.900 carrying water for her? I think the corporate media generally would prefer Elizabeth Warren to
00:09:59.640 Bernie Sanders. I mean, the media and the Democratic Party stole the election from him in 2016, so they
00:10:06.140 probably don't want him to win in 2020 either. That's part of it. I said, how are they being so
00:10:11.040 flagrant about it? How are they being so obvious that they're saying, Bernie Sanders, why did you say
00:10:15.780 this? I didn't say this. Elizabeth Warren, how did you feel when he said this? How are they being so
00:10:21.060 so blatant about it? And I think it's because of the Me Too movement. The whole idea behind the
00:10:26.600 Me Too movement is we have to believe all women. That's the hashtag, right? Hashtag believe all
00:10:31.980 women. Women can never lie. Men can lie because the lying gene is on the Y chromosome, but women,
00:10:38.540 they can't lie. Even though men can be women and women can be men and chromosomes don't matter at
00:10:42.440 all and biology is nothing, but it's very, very confusing in leftist ideology. But the claim of the
00:10:48.020 Me Too movement is we have to believe all women. Men cannot get due process. If a man and a woman
00:10:54.520 are making contrasting claims, you got to believe the woman. This is the perfect example to show why
00:11:02.900 that premise of the Me Too movement is so ridiculous. Elizabeth Warren is a liar through and
00:11:09.260 through, repeatedly, consistently, and she's doing it now. And Bernie Sanders is a radical, and he's an
00:11:16.660 old coot, and he's a communist, and he has terrible ideas. He's really not a liar. That's not what
00:11:23.160 defines his political career. So CNN takes Elizabeth Warren's side. It was such journalistic
00:11:29.900 malpractice. They should be utterly ashamed of themselves. One of the top trends on Twitter
00:11:35.020 nationwide after this debate, specifically because of this moment, was hashtag CNN is trash. And then at
00:11:41.940 the very end, you see the alliance break up. You see, I think, the final nail in the coffin. They
00:11:49.660 avoided bringing up this feud between Warren and Bernie. Then they bring it up and they both sort
00:11:54.980 of move on. Then at the very end, it's pretty clear this relationship is severed. We'll get to that in a
00:12:00.280 second. We'll get to the rest of the debate, what it means for President Trump, what it means for 2020.
00:12:05.800 And then we'll get to news that really matters because this, this debate was just so bad for the
00:12:11.980 party. But first, I got to thank our friends over at Ashford University. Make this the year you advance

00:13:40.960 all the candidates leave. We're all so thank you, merciful Lord, for ending this debate.
00:13:46.460 And Warren walks up to Bernie Sanders. Now, you can see this on the clip. Bernie offers
00:13:54.560 his hand, extends his hand to shake it. And Elizabeth Warren doesn't quite shake it. And they
00:13:59.780 engage in a kind of back and forth. They seem to be pretty argumentative. And then Bernie just walks
00:14:08.540 away. Bernie's like, I've had enough of this. This is, I'm not taking these lies anymore. I mean,
00:14:13.200 you can't see what they're saying, but if you're reading their body language, that's what it would
00:14:16.880 seem to imply. So I think that this alliance or quasi-alliance is over. And I think it's over
00:14:23.820 because she lied about him. She did him wrong. And the reason she did him wrong is because he was
00:14:28.740 rising too fast in the polls. The reason she did him wrong is the same reason that the Democratic
00:14:32.500 Party did him wrong in 2016. He was rising in the polls unexpectedly. They always like Bernie as a
00:14:38.000 sideshow, but they don't like it when it looks like he could win the nomination. It was a real,
00:14:42.180 a real deceitful move, a real, real betrayal of her old pal Bernie Sanders. And yet she wasn't the
00:14:48.680 worst person on the stage. Pete Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg, my least favorite candidate in the race,
00:14:53.620 was probably the most ridiculous person on that entire stage last night. Pete, during the debate,
00:15:00.880 actually managed to invent two new PC, jargony, ridiculous leftist terms. The first of which
00:15:10.440 with climate security. The next president is going to be confronted with national security
00:15:17.800 challenges different in scope and in kind from anything we've seen before. Not just conventional
00:15:24.240 military challenges, not just stateless terrorism, but cybersecurity challenges, climate security
00:15:31.260 challenges, foreign interference in our elections. It's going to take a view to the future as well as
00:15:37.400 the readiness to learn from the lessons of the past. And for me, those lessons of the past are
00:15:42.320 personal. What did he just say? Did anybody get any actual tangible policy or philosophy from that
00:15:52.660 soup of words that he just spouted out? No, it meant nothing. This is the Buttigieg candidacy
00:16:00.540 is standing there and looking really earnest, like Alfred E. Newman in a necktie and really serious and
00:16:07.660 speaking in a really measured way and very articulate. And he went to Harvard, you know,
00:16:13.780 and he's a Rhodes Scholar and he served in the Navy for a time. And he's just a really serious guy.
00:16:20.460 And he doesn't say anything that means anything. And he holds opposite policy positions from what he held
00:16:26.660 six months ago. And maybe he's going to be the radical and maybe he's going to be the moderate,
00:16:29.980 depending on how the polls look. But he's really serious. And he just sounds like a presidential
00:16:35.700 candidate. The trouble is the tone of his voice doesn't have anything underneath it. Climate
00:16:42.100 security. What could that possibly mean? Climate security, like the climate is going to come kill
00:16:47.360 us. I mean, I guess that's the claim of global warming, global warming alarmists, right? Is that
00:16:52.400 the sun monster is going to burn us all up and we're going to be dead in 12 years. But he's not quite
00:16:55.700 making that claim. He's trying to tie national security to climate change. The reason he's doing
00:17:02.180 that is because Trump is doing a very good job on national security. So he can't just talk about
00:17:06.840 national security because when the candidates talk about national security, the voters remember,
00:17:11.640 huh, we're not at war with North Korea. We drew down troops in Syria. Iran attacked us and we took
00:17:19.320 out their top military guy in three days and then they totally backed down. Huh, Trump is doing a pretty
00:17:23.940 good job on national security. Why do I need this guy? So they have to bring it back to climate change.
00:17:28.180 This is a running theme throughout the entire debate. Then Buttigieg made up another imaginary
00:17:33.280 term. At another point, he referred to a race informed city. He said, as mayor of South Bend,
00:17:40.120 Indiana, which is a race informed city, we blah, blah, blah. What is a race informed city?
00:17:47.520 I asked a friend of mine this. I said, what, what is a race informed city? And he said, uh, it's where
00:17:54.400 all the black people know who Pete Buttigieg is in South Bend and they don't like him.
00:17:58.420 And that would appear to be the case if you look at the protests at his town halls. Maybe that's the
00:18:02.980 kind of information. I don't know why he's, why he's bragging about that at a CNN debate. Race informed
00:18:08.720 doesn't mean anything. It reminds me of Julian Castro. When they were all early on in the debate,
00:18:16.200 Julian Castro, my favorite candidate, realized that he was kind of falling away. So he had to up the
00:18:21.480 stakes on the jargon. He didn't have any actual policies to offer. So he just had to heighten
00:18:26.980 the jargon, heighten the rhetoric. They, every, every candidate at that debate said,
00:18:31.100 we support reproductive freedom. And Castro leans into the microphone. He says, I don't just support
00:18:36.220 reproductive freedom. I support reproductive justice. I say, okay, I don't, I don't know what
00:18:42.900 either of those things mean other than killing babies, but let's assume that they have some
00:18:48.300 discrete meaning. What would be the difference between reproductive freedom and reproductive
00:18:52.720 justice? Nothing. You're just using a different word and pretending that that's a more powerful word
00:18:57.100 than the former one. Justice. I, I'm the mayor of a race informed city. We need to pay attention to
00:19:04.620 climate security. Like, okay, whatever. That's fine. It brings up an interesting point about this
00:19:10.900 debate stage. The now smaller, more compact, completely white, if not translucent debate stage.
00:19:18.900 The two most intelligent people up there are the worst, Warren and Buttigieg. Those two are by far
00:19:27.420 the worst people on stage. They're unlikable. They're liars. They're secret radicals. I mean,
00:19:35.140 they're, you know, in, in the, the way that they speak when it's convenient for them.
00:19:40.260 They're betraying their allies. They're stabbing people in the backs. I mean, they're really awful,
00:19:47.260 awful candidates. They're my least favorite up there. Buttigieg is a Harvard guy. He's a Rhodes
00:19:51.160 scholar. He's got a degree from Oxford. Elizabeth Warren, a pen, a pen and Harvard law professor.
00:19:57.720 And they're the most shameless liars, the most cynical and the most radical. It reminds me of
00:20:02.980 this book that we're going to be doing on my PragerU show coming up in the next few months. It's a book
00:20:08.540 called Intellectuals by Paul Johnson. And Paul Johnson is this British historian and he writes a
00:20:13.660 book about all of the intellectuals from Jean-Jacques Rousseau all the way up to the present.
00:20:18.460 And he describes the intellectual as the kind of successor to priests and prophets and soothsayers,
00:20:25.660 right? In the modern era, once we got rid of the priests, once we got rid of God,
00:20:29.040 you just had the intellectual. And those were the people that we really revered and admired.
00:20:33.400 And when you look at intellectuals, one thing that you notice about them is they're all terrible
00:20:39.120 people. They're cynical. They pursue their own self-interest. They put ideas over people
00:20:44.340 and they put themselves over ideas. And ironically, they have the least regard for truth.
00:20:50.380 All of them, Jean-Paul Sartre, Bertolt Brecht, Rousseau, Shelley, all of these people that we
00:20:57.140 would consider the great intellectuals of the modern era, they were so cynical. I mean,
00:21:02.500 they would just defend awful regimes when it was politically convenient. They would deny truths that
00:21:08.540 they had previously espoused when those truths became inconvenient. And it's the same with Warren
00:21:13.820 and Buttigieg. The nearest thing to a reasonable candidate on that stage was Amy Klobuchar,
00:21:18.900 which isn't saying very much. It's damning with feigned praise, but it's true. She was the closest
00:21:22.520 thing to a reasonable candidate. She's just such an awful retail politician. She's so cringe-inducing.
00:21:28.540 The way she speaks is so lame that she's not going to go very far. And Joe Biden, who's the putative
00:21:33.360 front runner, barely spoke. He was not the star of this debate. I forgot he was there for much of it.
00:21:40.420 Terrible debate for Democrats. Everybody lost. Don't take my word for it. Even Van Jones,
00:21:45.040 who's a major left-wing commentator on CNN, came out after the debate and he said,
00:21:50.260 if this is the best that the Democrats have, then President Trump is going to get reelected.
00:21:55.160 That was as a progressive. To see those two have that level of vitriol was very dispiriting.
00:22:02.840 And I want to say that tonight, for me, was dispiriting. Democrats are going to have to do
00:22:06.640 better than what we saw tonight. There was nothing I saw tonight that would be able to take Donald
00:22:10.320 Trump out. And I want to see a Democrat in the White House as soon as possible. There was nothing
00:22:14.480 tonight that, if you're looking at this thing, you say, any of these people are prepared for what
00:22:19.260 Donald Trump is going to do to us. And to see further division tonight is very dispiriting.
00:22:23.040 He's absolutely right. Great analysis. Van Jones is one of these guys who, he parrots the left-wing
00:22:27.820 line and the Democratic talking points often. But occasionally, he does have an independent thought.
00:22:32.520 And when he does, he's very good. He had this on Russiagate, you know, the whole Russia collusion
00:22:39.220 narrative. He was asked on a hot mic, on a hidden camera, what he thought about the Russian
00:22:43.940 collusion line about Donald Trump. And he said, oh, Russia's a nothing burger. We got to move on to
00:22:48.580 this and that. And he was right. I mean, he was right both on the substance of the matter. Trump did
00:22:54.300 not conspire with Russia, but he was right politically for Democrats as an advisor to Democrats. It was
00:22:59.340 stupid for Democrats to harp on the Russia thing. It hurt them in the long run. And they looked like
00:23:04.100 fools when it turned out it was a hoax. So a really bad night for Democrats. And it got even
00:23:08.180 more radical outside. You know, in Des Moines, there was a protest of Joe Biden outside the debate.
00:23:15.120 It was a protest by a group called United We Dream. And the protest was carried on by a group of
00:23:22.520 illegal aliens who were upset that, well, Joe Biden was vice president, Barack Obama
00:23:28.960 deported some illegal aliens. They, they were using crazy hysterical language. They said that
00:23:35.520 Obama had concentration camps to detain illegal aliens. They said, we cannot forget under the
00:23:41.740 Obama and Biden administration, this mass deportation machine was created. Machine, mass
00:23:47.100 deportation machine. No. Do you know when the deportation machine was created, when the United States
00:23:52.020 ratified its immigration laws, because illegal aliens have no right to be in this country.
00:23:57.340 And it's so outrageous that people who are in this country illegally don't just kiss the ground
00:24:05.940 and say, thank you. Thank you. You wonderful, generous country for letting me in. How wonderful
00:24:11.080 you are. I thank you so much for not deporting me. I love this country. I love freedom. Let's make
00:24:16.820 America great again. They don't do that. At least this group does not do that. They go out and complain
00:24:23.280 that there's the threat of deportation, that there's the threat that the government might enforce the law,
00:24:30.740 but probably won't. How backwards is that? How crazy has our political system gotten that foreign
00:24:40.700 nationals who are in this country illegally, who we are choosing not to deport for some reason,
00:24:46.780 feel empowered to stand outside, expose themselves, expose their crime, and complain that we're even
00:24:54.540 threatening to enforce the law. Absolutely outrageous. And the majority of American people know this.
00:25:02.640 The majority of Hispanic voters, I suspect, know this. Because, right, most Hispanic voters,
00:25:07.580 the Democratic Party wants to pretend that Hispanic voters love illegal immigration. And yet poll after
00:25:14.340 poll after poll shows this is not true. Why? Because legal Hispanic immigrants hate that people
00:25:19.940 are cutting the line. Why did they have to follow the rules, but another group of people didn't have
00:25:25.260 to? If Bernie Sanders or any of these Democratic candidates came out there and said, hey, all those
00:25:30.940 illegal aliens that are outside, all those people who are flagrantly violating our laws, some very
00:25:35.560 precious laws to us, and complaining about the fact that we might even have laws, they're all arrested.
00:25:41.460 They're all getting deported. If one of those candidates did that, it might kill them in the
00:25:45.320 primary, but they would have a much better shot at the general election. Immigration is a top issue,
00:25:51.240 even for Democrats. And nobody wants amnesty. Very few people want amnesty. But they can't because
00:25:56.840 the party has become so radicalized. And Biden wants to play it very safe because Biden is back on top
00:26:03.460 in a new poll. There was a previous poll that came out last week that showed that Bernie Sanders is on
00:26:09.420 top in Iowa. Now there's a new poll that shows Biden's on top. And Biden's whole strategy here
00:26:13.640 is the Romney 2020 strategy. Be nothing, stay quiet, keep your mouth shut, get your way to the
00:26:19.880 nomination simply because the other candidates are not that good and because you're the next one up and
00:26:26.880 then probably lose the general election. That's Biden's strategy so far. We will see if that pays off.
00:26:33.260 Then, major new video from Project Veritas showing the radicalism of the Bernie Sanders campaign and
00:26:41.440 what might happen at the Democratic convention. Then I give some advice to Democrats on an issue
00:26:47.320 they actually could use if they wanted to. And Vince Vaughn gets canceled. Poor Vince Vaughn.
00:26:54.040 We will look at the hypocrisy of Vince Vaughn's cancellation. But first, I got to say goodbye to
00:26:57.880 Facebook and YouTube. Head on over to dailywire.com. What do you get? Me. That should be enough. Isn't
00:27:04.200 that enough for you? You get me, you get the Andrew Klavan show, the Ben Shapiro show, the Matt Wall
00:27:08.140 show. You get to ask questions in the mailbag coming up tomorrow, so get your questions in.
00:27:12.240 You get another kingdom. The final season, we just recorded the final episode. It's really,
00:27:17.000 really moving stuff. I can say this because I didn't write a word of it. I just have to read what
00:27:21.220 Andrew Klavan wrote. It's really, really moving and important, obviously, for conservatives to be out
00:27:26.100 there in the culture. And you get the leftist here's Tumblr. You need that for every single
00:27:30.900 Democratic debate. You're definitely going to need it on Iowa caucus night because that's going to
00:27:34.760 be the first big test of all of these campaigns. Head on over to dailywire.com. We'll be right back
00:27:40.200 with a lot more. How did Biden get back on top in Iowa? We're 20 days away from the Iowa caucuses
00:27:58.400 and according to a new Monmouth University poll, those polls are usually pretty good.
00:28:02.760 Biden is ahead. He's got 24%. That's up five points from the same poll in November.
00:28:07.120 Bernie is in second at 18%. Buttigieg is almost tied with him at 17%. Warren is
00:28:13.760 the lowest of those four, but still pretty close with 15%. This is different than the Des Moines
00:28:21.080 Register CNN Mediacom poll just a few days ago, which showed that Bernie was on top.
00:28:25.860 How could Biden, who is a really awful candidate, has no energy, constantly contradicts himself,
00:28:32.640 says random things about his leg hair and, and corn pop. I mean, how on earth is that guy
00:28:39.280 on top in this poll? Well, the reason is the alternative, Bernie Sanders is too radical. And
00:28:45.500 James O'Keefe over at Project Veritas just showed that recently. I mean, Bernie Sanders showed it
00:28:51.480 himself last night. Last night at the debate in Des Moines, Bernie Sanders admitted that he's going to
00:28:58.000 raise taxes on everybody, on virtually everybody, not just the millionaires and the billionaires.
00:29:04.440 He's going to raise taxes on everybody who makes more than $29,000 a year.
00:29:10.640 On the Medicare for all, one of the provisions we have to pay for it is a 4% tax on income,
00:29:17.860 exempting the first $29,000. So the average family in America that today makes $60,000
00:29:25.440 would pay $1,200 a year. Okay. Bernie Sanders, again, give him credit where credit is due.
00:29:32.780 At least he's honest. He's saying everybody who makes more than $29,000 a year, which is what,
00:29:39.220 everybody with a full-time job? Everybody, virtually everybody in this country is going to have their
00:29:45.860 taxes hiked 4%. By the way, if you're making $30,000 a year, 4% is a lot of money.
00:29:52.840 If you're, I mean, it, it, it hurts people who are on the lower end of the income scale more than
00:30:01.100 it hurts people on the higher end, even though the people on the higher end, obviously, are going
00:30:03.880 to pay more money in hard dollar terms. That's a lot of money. And he's saying, look, we're going
00:30:10.020 to raise your taxes. Yeah, of course we're going to raise. And it's better than Elizabeth Warren,
00:30:13.460 who says, I'm just going to take two cents from people who have $50 million. Wait, two cents,
00:30:20.060 you mean 2% and not on their income. You're going to take 2% of their actual wealth. So you're just
00:30:24.760 going to go in and what, make them liquidate their assets. You're going to take the shirt off their
00:30:27.500 back. That's Elizabeth Warren in her, in her lying characteristic way. Bernie is being honest with
00:30:33.240 you, but he's being honest in a way that's simply too radical for even democratic voters, I think.
00:30:38.780 Then Project Veritas caught up with Kyle Jurek, one of the field organizers for the Bernie Sanders
00:30:44.820 campaign. He took the radicalism even further. Now, we know that Bernie Sanders has always had
00:30:50.960 this bizarre fascination with and love of Soviet Russia. Bernie Sanders had his honeymoon in Soviet
00:30:57.480 Russia, communist oppressive Russia. He was filmed there with his shirt off and vodka in his hand,
00:31:04.160 singing communist folk songs with the Ruskies. And that appears to have trickled down to the rest of
00:31:10.240 his campaign. Kyle Jurek, this field organizer, was caught on camera explaining how we are going to
00:31:19.080 need to be ready for the democratic convention. Because if they don't give this to Bernie, if they
00:31:25.560 steal it from him, you're going to see violence. You're going to see craziness. You are going to
00:31:29.640 see something that makes 1968 look like a walk in the park. They are going to fight it out at the
00:31:34.900 convention. Here he is. That was the cops being effing beaten. What I love is he doesn't even
00:31:52.180 know his own history. So he thought it was 1978 that was the crazy convention instead of 68, but
00:31:56.540 that's fine. That's sort of what I would expect. They get even more radical. So, uh, the Project
00:32:02.740 Veritas journalist asks a field organizer for Bernie Sanders about his education policy.
00:32:10.540 And the question that the journalist asks is, do you think that some of these
00:32:13.480 MAGA people, you know, should be re-educated? I mean, should these people be, how, how should we
00:32:20.420 bring them over to our side? Here's the Sanders campaign.
00:32:23.520 Do you even think that some of these like MAGA people could even be re-educated?
00:32:28.800 I mean, we got to try. I mean, like, so like, in Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi
00:32:37.920 party, there was a ton of the populace that was f***ing Nazi-fied. And like, Germany had
00:32:45.280 to spend billions of dollars re-educating f***ing people to not be Nazis. Like, we're probably
00:32:55.800 going to have to do the same f***ing thing here. And that's kind of what Bernie's like,
00:33:00.180 whole f***ing, like, hey, free education for everybody. Because we're going to have to teach
00:33:04.120 you not to be a f***ing Nazi.
00:33:06.200 There it is. There it is. An admission from the Sanders campaign about their education policy,
00:33:12.800 which is exactly what I and many others have been saying for months. The whole point of free
00:33:18.040 education, the whole point of government-run education in college and even graduate school
00:33:23.560 even, is to indoctrinate a whole generation of people in their ideology. Because they believe
00:33:29.700 that America is Nazis, right? Nazi-fied. And so what they need to do is re-educate us to be
00:33:36.180 communists, I guess, or socialists. That's the point of it. Free education is a terrible,
00:33:41.560 terrible idea. Free higher education. Because they're not, they're not going to be teaching you
00:33:46.820 Dostoyevsky, okay? They're not going to be teaching you the Iliad and the Odyssey and the
00:33:52.080 Aeneid. They're not going to be teaching you Latin and ancient Greek, right? They're not going to be
00:33:55.400 teaching you classical education. They're going to be teaching you radical leftist ideology. And you
00:34:02.100 and I are going to be on the hook to pay for it. This is why Democrats have nothing. And this is why
00:34:06.500 they have to keep going back to global warming. Elizabeth Warren kept going back. Bernie Sanders too.
00:34:11.140 All of them kept going back to global warming again and again last night. Here's Warren.
00:34:14.900 Understand this. We have known about this climate crisis for decades. Back in the 1990s,
00:34:21.180 we were calling it global warming, but we knew what it was. Yes, we knew about it. In the 90s,
00:34:26.140 we were calling it global warming. In the 70s, you were calling it global cooling. Do you remember
00:34:29.780 that? And then after five decades of this crisis, everything is completely fine. Crisis. We've been
00:34:36.160 in a crisis for five decades. How long does a crisis need to go on without anything happening
00:34:44.160 before you realize it's not a crisis? Is 50 years enough? I think that probably should be enough.
00:34:50.600 They all keep going back to global warming because all of the real political issues show
00:34:55.620 that Trump is doing a good job, right? If they talked about the economy, they would say, huh,
00:34:59.560 well, there's not really much these Democratic candidates can offer because the economy is
00:35:04.760 going gangbusters, hitting record highs. If the candidates start talking about unemployment,
00:35:08.520 they would say, huh, Trump has given us record low unemployment across demographics. We probably
00:35:13.560 don't need these Democratic candidates. If they talk about national security, they'd say, huh,
00:35:18.060 Donald Trump just killed the two most prolific terrorists in the world and reestablished deterrence.
00:35:22.300 Probably don't need these Democratic candidates. If they talk about anything, the jobs coming back,
00:35:28.020 the wages rising for the first time in 10 years, anything, it shows that the Democratic candidates
00:35:35.020 are superfluous and frankly dangerous. So they have to go back to the imaginary issue of the sun monster.
00:35:42.600 There is one exception here. There is one issue that the Democrats could seize on. They could easily
00:35:47.980 exploit that Trump has failed on, that they could try to make a good case on. That is a real political
00:35:53.760 issue that could maybe convince voters. That issue is federal spending. The federal government spent a
00:36:00.480 record amount of money in the first three months of the fiscal year. They spent one, I got to count
00:36:06.820 the zeros, million, billion, $1.163 trillion in the first three months of the fiscal year 2020. So
00:36:15.980 that's October through December. That's according to the monthly treasury statement. That's too much money.
00:36:21.160 Way too much money. Conservatives are supposed to conserve. We're supposed to be
00:36:27.460 fiscally responsible and we're not. Now, am I really that concerned about that right now? I'm not
00:36:32.780 because we're getting so many even more important wins, right? We're getting wins on the judiciary.
00:36:38.080 We're getting wins in the economy. So there's a lot of growth. We're getting wins on trade. We're
00:36:41.140 getting wins on national security. So I'm not going to let the perfect get in the way of the good
00:36:45.280 and say I oppose Donald Trump because he's spending as much money as Democrats do or maybe a little bit
00:36:50.340 more. However, this is a big issue. All right. It's the, it's a legitimate weakness of the Trump
00:36:55.420 administration and Democrats should exploit it if they want to have a real issue to run it,
00:37:00.340 but they can't exploit it because every one of those candidates, every single one wants to make
00:37:06.140 the spending issue worse. All of them, they've endorsed the Green New Deal, right? Many of them
00:37:13.200 co-sponsored it. And that's a $93 trillion plan that would outlaw all of American energy virtually.
00:37:20.280 That's not going to help the spending situation. Elizabeth Warren's healthcare plan costs $52
00:37:24.160 trillion. And that's not going to help the fiscal situation. So they can't exploit the one good
00:37:29.180 issue they've got. And because they can't exploit it, they move on to impeachment. They're now moving.
00:37:33.700 Remember, they impeached the president. You might've forgotten because it was nothing. Then they let that
00:37:38.700 stay for a month because they knew that the minute they delivered the impeachment to the Senate,
00:37:43.000 the Senate would acquit him and then it's over and Pelosi loses all her leverage.
00:37:46.240 So they've now decided they got to go back to impeachment. Why? Because their candidates for
00:37:50.640 president are terrible. They've got no good issues and Trump just won World War III. They said that he
00:37:55.580 caused World War III. I didn't say that. That was their, their term. And then he won it within like
00:38:00.580 two days without any American casualties. So now they got to go back to impeachment. They've sent
00:38:05.400 the articles of impeachment against the president. Uh, they're, or rather they're set to vote on that
00:38:10.440 today. So unless something crazy goes wrong, they'll vote on that today. Then it'll go
00:38:14.240 up to the Senate. Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives, Democrats can't even get it
00:38:18.780 together to vote on a resolution condemning the Iranian mullahs and expressing support of the Iranian
00:38:25.940 people. Kevin McCarthy, the, uh, the minority leader of the house had a resolution
00:38:32.020 doing just that saying the mullahs are awful. They shouldn't have attacked us. We don't like them.
00:38:37.080 And we support the people who are rising up. And it failed by a vote of 226 to 191.
00:38:45.260 Democrats cannot bring themselves to vote for a resolution condemning the government of Iran
00:38:50.300 for killing 1500 Iranian citizens protesting their government. They can't vote for a resolution
00:38:59.000 condemning the Iranian government for shooting down a Ukrainian passenger aircraft that killed 176
00:39:05.880 people. They can't do that because, because Trump did the good stuff. And if Trump did it,
00:39:12.820 they have to oppose it. That's a very, very tight corner that they've boxed themselves into.
00:39:18.840 And you see it at every level in the house, the local level, at the presidential level,
00:39:24.360 really tough stuff. And then in the popular culture, in the popular culture, Vince Vaughn
00:39:29.400 was trending top of Twitter all day yesterday, a little bit the day before, because he had the
00:39:36.060 audacity to shake hands with the president of the United States. They were at that football game,
00:39:42.380 the college football game the other night, and they were sitting there and they had a little
00:39:45.400 conversation and then they shook hands. And then Vince Vaughn was the top trend. And this was
00:39:49.140 considered a scandal. This was considered controversial. It's not a fake scandal ginned up on the right.
00:39:54.360 This was considered truly scandalous. ABC, CBS, the whole mainstream media were covering this
00:40:00.900 as though it were some big deal that an actor shook hands with the president of the United States.
00:40:05.560 Let's put that in perspective. Last week at the Golden Globes, the actress Michelle Williams
00:40:12.020 bragged about killing her child for fame and fortune. And Hollywood applauded her. She said,
00:40:21.700 in order to have this glamorous, glitzy career that I have in Hollywood, I had to murder my child.
00:40:27.740 And I'm really glad that I was able to do that, to kill my child. Hollywood applauded her. So brave,
00:40:33.200 so wonderful. The mainstream media, not a peep. How brave she was, how important that speech was.
00:40:39.440 Yes, you go. You go, girl. I'm woman, hear me roar. Then Vince Vaughn, an actor, shakes hands with
00:40:47.680 the president of the United States. That's a scandal. That's a pretty messed up culture that
00:40:52.300 we're in. The majority of people don't consider it fine to kill your child, but terrible to shake
00:40:57.480 hands with the president. But I bet the majority of mainstream media journalists do, as you see in
00:41:03.400 the headlines. Speaking of that football game, I have to get to a story that's very important.
00:41:08.440 It's a story that has been looked over. After the LSU game, some reporters went into the LSU locker
00:41:18.140 room to interview some of the players. And the players were so excited, they won the game,
00:41:22.680 and they were smoking cigars. They weren't even popping bottles of champagne, as you would expect
00:41:26.680 they would. Just smoking cigars. The reporters were furious. This one reporter from ESPN, Heather
00:41:33.980 Dinnich, tweeted out, it was so unbelievably smoky in the LSU locker room from the players smoking
00:41:39.800 cigars, I can taste it. And no, I didn't have one. It was suffocating. Now, it actually was very rude
00:41:46.580 of those players not to offer Heather a cigar. They should have offered her one. Come on, guys,
00:41:51.760 chivalry's still around. But what a culture we're living in, that these players, biggest day of their
00:41:59.320 their professional lives or their scholastic lives, even though it'll go on to their professional
00:42:02.500 lives, they're not allowed to have a cigar in their locker room. Because female reporters in
00:42:10.580 particular want to go into the men's locker room and interview them. And they don't want to be around
00:42:15.840 smoke. My body, my choice, ladies. That's very important. You need to be able to celebrate things.
00:42:22.440 And this puritanical culture that we're getting into when it comes to harmless things like
00:42:26.400 the occasional stogie is ridiculous. It reminds us of this maxim, everybody's got to serve somebody.
00:42:34.400 Everybody's got to serve somebody. And so we have a permissive society right now, right? We treat sex
00:42:40.500 as though it's nothing. It's sort of like a handshake. Hook up with whoever you want. We treat recreational
00:42:44.700 drugs. No big deal. Do it. That's fine. We treat everything very loosey-goosey. And yet you do need
00:42:51.240 structure. You do need order. You do control. So every time we loosen up some law on drugs,
00:42:55.420 we tighten up some law on speech. Every time we loosen up some social moray about sex, we tighten
00:43:01.780 one up about cigars. Because there must be some kind of control. There always will be. And I got to
00:43:11.020 tell you, looking around the culture at this crazy sexual decadence, drug decadence, a culture of
00:43:19.480 selfishness, the stogies are looking pretty good. They're pretty much a harmless little vice. I don't
00:43:24.840 even know if they are a vice. But in so much as they are, they're a good vice to have. Nobody's ever
00:43:30.080 died from smoking one cigar. People have died from drinking one night. People have died from doing
00:43:35.180 drugs one night. People have died. Let people have a little bit of fun. Let people have a lesser vice.
00:43:43.480 Or they're going to go and have a tougher one. But of course, the leftist permissive society,
00:43:50.960 they don't want the tobacco. They want the harder drugs. They don't want sort of sexual difference to
00:43:58.720 be celebrated in the locker rooms. They want total control over sex, even about redefining
00:44:04.660 sex itself. Men can be women. Women can be men. That's not permissive. It's just they want the
00:44:13.520 strictures in place. They want the restraint in other places. And this actually speaks to this
00:44:19.300 trend that's going on. Yahoo News just published it yesterday. It was from AFP. But they're acknowledging
00:44:26.860 a trend that's been going on in the cities for a long time. The headline was, U.S. speakeasies are back
00:44:31.100 in vogue in the echo of the Prohibition era. Century after the U.S. clamped down on alcohol and ushered
00:44:36.740 in the Prohibition era, speakeasies are once again popping up behind hidden doors, luring in revelers,
00:44:41.800 seeking fancy cocktails with an illicit 1920s vibe. This has been going on for a really long time now,
00:44:46.640 probably seven, eight years in New York, in L.A., D.C. But now it's popping up in even smaller towns.
00:44:52.600 I go to a lot of small towns around the country to give college lectures. And I see this a lot.
00:44:57.960 Speakeasies. Now, they're not really speakeasies because alcohol is legal. But they have the
00:45:02.140 speakeasy vibe. You need a password. They serve old cocktails. Why are they popping up? For two
00:45:06.100 reasons. We long for a time gone by. We don't really, we realize something's wrong about the
00:45:12.940 current era we're living in. And we want to regain something from the past. Now, nostalgia is history
00:45:19.440 after a few drinks. The past wasn't all that glamorous. But we recognize there's something from
00:45:23.660 our tradition. We want to get back. And we don't totally love this era. The other reason that
00:45:27.620 specifically the prohibition era is coming back in the bar scene is because we're living through a
00:45:34.320 very prohibitive time in our culture where some kids who just want a big football game can't even
00:45:39.600 smoke a cigar in their own locker room because the reporters are coughing because the reporters don't
00:45:45.760 like the smell of smoke. You're not allowed to say this. You're not allowed to do that. You can't
00:45:50.320 go here. You can't go there. Every romantic encounter requires you to get a notarized
00:45:56.040 consent form. We're living in a very prohibitive era and people are recognizing this. And I think
00:46:01.540 that's the underlying cultural reason why the speakeasies are cropping back up beyond the fancy
00:46:07.700 drinks and nostalgia for the past. Before we go, I've just got to make fun of Mike Bloomberg. Mike
00:46:12.880 Bloomberg posted this really dumb tweet the other day from his campaign account. And the tweet said,
00:46:18.880 it was him standing in front of a table with some brisket on it. And it said, find a man who looks
00:46:25.680 at you the way Mike Bloomberg looks at ribs, which was creepy because there were no ribs in the picture
00:46:31.620 other than human ribs. The guy who posted the picture didn't know what brisket was and apparently
00:46:36.520 didn't know what ribs were. So it was just kind of lame. It was like a cringy candidate trying to seem
00:46:43.400 cool and hip and, and young and, and meme-y, you know, internet-y. So during the debate last night
00:46:49.940 where Bloomberg was not invited, he posted a bunch of these. They were so sad. There was a picture of
00:46:55.760 a, of a plate of meatballs and one of them kind of had Mike Bloomberg's face in it. And it said,
00:47:00.880 test your political knowledge. Spot the meatball that looks like Mike. That's not, that's not how
00:47:09.720 memes are. Another one. Through Bloomberg philanthropies, Mike has directed more than
00:47:14.040 $50 million to combat meatloaf's views on climate change. Am I right? Hashtag Bloomberg facts.
00:47:22.420 Another one. What is the best part of the body to get a Bloomberg 2020 tattoo? Yeah,
00:47:28.120 you kids like tattoos, right? Hello, fellow kids. How you doing? Another one. There's a picture of
00:47:34.060 these bald eagles. Which eagle looks more disgusted with Donald Trump? Huh? Huh, kids? And, uh,
00:47:41.420 final, this was the weirdest one. They ended up deleting it. When choosing your candidates,
00:47:46.100 remember, Mike can fit nine D batteries in his mouth at one time. The hell does that mean?
00:47:53.600 What? Yikes. Then they deleted that one.
00:48:01.020 I say this to make fun of Mike Bloomberg. I also say this to, to make a point about the candidates.
00:48:06.920 You can't force authenticity. You can't force likability. You can't force electability.
00:48:15.360 And you can't out-Trump Trump. They're all trying to out-Trump Trump in their rhetoric,
00:48:19.580 in their tweets, in their social media strategy. You can't. Voters can sniff out a fraud. They can
00:48:25.840 sniff out lies. They can sniff out deception. They've done it with all of the candidates so far
00:48:31.740 up there. If those candidates on stage are the best that they've got, as Van Jones said,
00:48:40.620 the election held today, Trump would win, no question. If the candidates waiting in the wings,
00:48:45.660 like Mike Bloomberg are somehow the best they've got, they're better than the ones on stage,
00:48:50.920 Trump's getting reelected. I mean, they, these candidates, even, even the back bench,
00:48:56.180 even the ones who maybe they come into the next debate because these, these current crop are
00:48:59.200 failing. They just don't have it. They're just not ready for prime time. Very good news for
00:49:05.640 President Trump and conservatives. Very bad news for the Democratic Party in the prime time of their
00:49:11.500 political careers and in the prime time of that terrible, terrible debate last night. That's
00:49:15.680 our show. Get your mailbag questions in for tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm Michael Knowles.

00:50:20.740 Hey, everyone. It's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. I watched the Democrat debate
00:50:26.360 last night, so you didn't have to. And in fact, no one else did. But all these Democrats can promise
00:50:31.580 is free stuff. And all that free stuff means more government. And when you look at our government
00:50:36.360 right now, it kind of reminds you of something. Oh, yeah. A swamp. And it's plenty big enough.
00:50:41.840 We'll talk about it on The Andrew Klavan Show. I'm Andrew Klavan.
