Ted Cruz defeats Marco Rubio in Iowa and wins the primary, but not without a spanking. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean for the future of the 2020 race? Plus, a special guest appearance from the Iowa caucus official coin toss czar.
00:01:24.000Well, listen, this is a big day for Lotta with Crowder.
00:01:26.000To people listening terrestrially, of course, this is the first video live stream.
00:01:31.000So people can either be watching this right now on LottaWithCrowder.com or the YouTube's, hello, full-on video live stream.
00:01:37.000Not Gay Jared has been working on this all day.
00:01:39.000So to those listening at our wonderful home station in Wham, our affiliates, WEZS New Hampshire, WJHC in Florida, Cone, Alaska, Patriot Northern Michigan, Traverse City, all the others out there, thank you!
00:03:26.000Listen, wherever you line up, whether it's Trump, whether it's Ted Cruz, this is pretty important.
00:03:32.000Because now you've fallen to one of two camps.
00:03:34.000You buy everything that Trump's been selling wholesale, that there was a controversy that the Cruz campaign went out and told everyone Carson was dropping out of the campaign, and the only reason that Ted Cruz won was because of voter fraud.
00:03:47.000So you believe that, and we'll get to that, and maybe you do believe that, and that's fine.
00:03:56.000And let me tell you why I believe this.
00:03:57.000Now, it does seem that there were some volunteers from Cruz's campaign that came out and told people, hey, it looks like Carson is suspending his campaign.
00:04:08.000Because it came from CNN, which came from Carson himself talking about going to Florida.
00:04:31.000Copy your VP! Copy your VP! Yes, you can, intern number five from Lynchburg, Virginia.
00:04:39.000So I'm not inclined to believe it goes.
00:04:40.000We don't have any evidence that that went to the top.
00:04:42.000Listen, if Ted Cruz personally said, hey, I want you to lie and tell everyone that Ben Carson dropped out, and the only way I will win this is through ill-gotten gain, screw Carson, we need to take out Trump.
00:04:54.000If that happened, I don't want Cruz to win.
00:04:58.000And he's a bad person, if that happened.
00:05:01.000We have no evidence that that happened, okay?
00:05:03.000And something else, too, Carson actually did better than we thought in the polls.
00:05:08.000Up to 2% better than the polls beforehand.
00:05:33.000And you can correct me if you think I'm wrong here, not Gay Jared.
00:05:36.000I think a lot of people, and we were just talking with Gavin McGinnis about this, I think a lot of people, there are a lot of great things about Trump that I supported about Trump.
00:05:44.000No political correctness, shining a light on the political establishment, George Bush fighting back.
00:06:02.000If you look, it would seem that there's a certain percentage of Trump hat-wearing, bumper sticker, make America great again campaign fanatics who went in and when it came time to pull the lever said – Jokes over Cruz.
00:12:39.000I would certainly acknowledge that Dr.
00:12:43.000Rand Paul has been one of the most consistent figures in the party.
00:12:47.000And I do have respect for his consistency on the issues.
00:12:51.000And I don't think that anybody else should have anything but the most admiration for someone to be as consistent as him.
00:13:01.000Hopefully they don't allow anything from that to be taken away by the fact that he does come across sometimes like a bitchy toilet bowl brush.
00:14:56.000Okay, I want you to bring this up on screen.
00:14:58.000Something that's really important here, we're talking about establishment a lot.
00:15:01.000And I think it's important for us to define what that means, because that's a term.
00:15:06.000Now, being anti-establishment doesn't inherently make you anti-conservative, doesn't inherently make you virtuous.
00:15:13.000So when we're looking at candidates right here, do we have this up on the screen?
00:15:17.000So really quickly, I have a list of candidates and percentage of their donations that are smaller donations, meaning donations that haven't just come from giant PACs or donors.
00:15:29.000To his credit, Bernie Sanders, I don't think they count unions here, unfortunately, is up there.
00:15:33.000Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz.
00:15:37.000Those are the top five, right, with Ted Cruz coming from small donations about 42% of the time.
00:15:46.000That's important because when people now, the whole attack, right, in the Republican primary from Donald Trump is just establishment.
00:15:52.000But Donald Trump, he's been endorsed by Bob Dole, Scott Brown, and now Jimmy Carter just came out this week.
00:15:57.000And Jimmy Carter, I mean, God bless him, you know, he's got the...
00:17:04.000So Jimmy Carter came out, and the funny thing he said about Trump is the reason he would rather see Trump than Cruz is because Trump has no principles.
00:17:14.000Yeah, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Martin O'Malley, Hillary Clinton.
00:17:18.000These are people, and Donald Trump, funnily enough, towards the bottom of that list, these are people who have giant, big blocks of cash, meaning coming in from people who are probably big businesses, big PACs.
00:19:31.000I think that's why it's so easy for them to just take the Donald Trump stuff and just conflate it with all the establishments against Trump.
00:22:03.000I'll solve a two-for-one margarita knife!
00:22:07.000Yeah, if that happens to the best of us, I will give you some advice.
00:22:14.000I don't know a whole lot about the two jarreds and the gay jarreds and where's the pitch and the catcher and who's doing the pudding pap and who's doing...
00:22:22.000I don't know about that, but I do know how to help relationship advice.
00:22:32.000And then you're going to want to get yourself some coffee, maybe like the mocha, the vanilla, get yourself some of the flavoring to cover it up, but it's very important.
00:22:43.000Gotta remember that he cannot be looking when you put the drugs in his coffee or you're gonna have a problem.
00:22:53.000What you do is maybe you say, hey, I'm gonna make you some special coffee.
00:22:59.000It might be a good idea for you to maybe first go to the proxy, make the peepee, and then you drug him or then you go around the brashy-a-bop.
00:23:07.000This has been your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.
00:26:21.000So I'm still editor-at-large over at Breitbart, but I'm editor-in-chief of Daily Wire, so that's more reflective, I think, of sort of my views on a general level because I assign more pieces there.
00:26:31.000And then I have a radio show in the mornings on Carol 870 out here, and then obviously the podcast, which you can get it at iTunes, you can get it off SoundCloud, all the usual places.
00:27:00.000I have been getting just a rash of anti-Semitic comments, and I'm not Jewish, and If you were, you'd automatically be the center on the Jewish basketball team.
00:27:12.000Gary Goleman has that bit about how they had a reinforced rim at the Jewish Cultural Center.
00:27:17.000He's like, there have been two broken rims in the history of the NBA, not one from a 4'9 Jewish boy.
00:27:25.000Have you noticed a big uptick in this?
00:27:28.000Well, it really only started when I started becoming critical of Trump.
00:27:31.000So my original view of Trump was that he wasn't conservative, but he was hitting some of the right people.
00:27:36.000So I was enjoying him hitting a lot of the right people.
00:28:12.000And now, you know, I feel like I'm in the same place with Cruz because there's the Carson and the Trump and now the Rubio campaigns all hitting Cruz over this.
00:28:19.000I don't know how much cursing you want on your podcast.
00:28:21.000Well, no, this goes out to a bunch of stations on Terrestrial as well.
00:28:42.000And on a moral level, it's absurd, too.
00:28:44.000I mean, when the news first broke that Ben Carson was skipping Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina and heading to Florida to pick up his laundry, like there are no laundromats in Manchester, New Hampshire.
00:28:55.000You know, when that happened, everybody on the Internet did the same exact thing, which was, okay, his campaign's over.
00:28:59.000This is just Could you imagine the white privilege that would be bandied about if a white person went back to Florida to change clothes?
00:29:09.000If Ben Shapiro were running for office going, I'm flying across the country to change clothes, your privilege is showing.
00:29:17.000I even tweeted out a Google map of all the Macy's in town for Ben Carson and all the dry cleaners in Manchester for Ben Carson.
00:29:24.000I doubt that the best neurosurgeon in the country has seen shops at Macy's.
00:29:28.000Though John Edwards, I don't know if you remember that, John Edwards used to get these designer suits and he would cut out the tag and put in a fake JCPenney tag so he could seem like one of the people.
00:29:45.000But what's so absurd about this whole thing with Trump, to get back to your original question, is that I started off as kind of lukewarm on Trump, like he's hitting some of the right people.
00:30:01.000And then in the last two months, he really just started to go wild, not just against Cruz, which who cares, but against Cruz on non-conservative bases.
00:30:10.000So all of a sudden, Cruz was a bad guy because he wasn't in favor of quasi-universal health care.
00:30:16.000Cruz was a bad guy because he was born in Canada.
00:30:18.000Cruz was a bad guy because Cruz was too right-wing and nobody liked him in the Senate.
00:30:22.000Like, I care if somebody's liked in the Senate.
00:30:25.000And as soon as I started getting critical of Trump, then all of a sudden I started getting exactly what you've been getting, which is, oh, you're a coxervative.
00:30:31.000Oh, you're, you're, you're somebody who's, this is because you're a Jew, all you, you're Jews coming out and all this stuff.
00:30:37.000And it's like, well, first of all, my Jew is always out.
00:30:39.000I mean, like I wear this thing right here, this yarmulke.
00:31:58.000Could you come up with a more Jewish name?
00:32:01.000There is a wing of the internet that is being, I would say, forwarded by certain people on the right.
00:32:08.000It would be interesting to talk to Milo about this.
00:32:10.000I know Milo and you and I, I think, have differences on this.
00:32:13.000But there's a whole contingent of the alt-right.
00:32:16.000I don't want to say it's the entire alt-right because I don't know the entire alt-right, but it's certainly a significant percentage of the alt-right that the minute you turned against Trump, all of the latent anti-Semitism came out.
00:32:27.000So I was sort of like the good Jew until I started coming out against Trump.
00:32:32.000And the minute that happened, it was, oh, well, he's in the pay of his Zionist masters.
00:32:35.000And it's like, well, no, all the people who pay me aren't Jewish, actually.
00:32:40.000Well, what was really bizarre was I did this thing on, first off, you're Jewish, okay?
00:33:00.000You had leftists who were furious saying Hitler was a national socialist.
00:33:04.000And, you know, democratic socialism is still mob rule, which eventually will favor the nationalists because they're the majority, right?
00:33:10.000That's the whole problem with democracy over republic.
00:33:14.000So they were really mad saying Hitler was not liberal.
00:33:16.000And then there's a strong contingency of people who, of course, call me or you a conservative, who were mad because they also want to claim Hitler was not liberal and that he made Germany great again.
00:33:37.000The big responsibility of this is from the left.
00:33:39.000The pendulum has, by its nature, had to swing further the other way.
00:33:43.000Do you think this is just sort of a natural reaction to the politically correct authoritarian speech police?
00:33:48.000Yeah, I mean, I think what's happened is that a lot of the people who are anti-establishment assume they're conservative because they're anti-establishment.
00:33:54.000So they look at the political correct regime that has been created, and their immediate response is, I hate those people, so I'll side with the people on the other side.
00:34:01.000But they're not necessarily on our side.
00:34:03.000I mean, they're not necessarily conservative.
00:34:04.000A lot of them are in favor of big government intervention in the economy.
00:34:07.000A lot of them are in favor of high trade tariffs.
00:34:10.000A lot of them are in favor of a tiny military.
00:34:13.000So I'm not sure what exactly is so traditionally right-wing about any of this.
00:34:18.000I mean, as far as the National Socialist thing and the Nazis being right-wing, the truth is that that was a meme that was originally started by communists.
00:34:23.000I mean, if you're a communist, everybody is right-wing.
00:34:25.000And so by communist lights, the Nazis were right-wing because if you're on the extreme left, then anything to the right of you is right.
00:34:32.000But certainly Hitler didn't consider himself a right-winger by any stretch of the imagination.
00:34:36.000He just considered himself anti-communist.
00:34:38.000Well, I think he just considered himself anti-anything, not Hitler.
00:34:42.000Well, I mean, there's truth to that, but he had a coherence ideology.
00:34:45.000And if you read his book, I mean, it's pretty clear what that coherence ideology was, and it's much more similar to modern international leftism than it is to anything traditionally conservative.
00:34:56.000I entirely agree with you, but then it gets really hard to make that argument, and then they go, well, actually, and they point to Trump making it about...
00:35:02.000The thing is to me that I don't understand about the alternative right, and correct me if you think I'm wrong here, I've always been under this impression that...
00:35:08.000Again, School of Breitbart, Malkin, people like Nick Searcy, you know, people who adopted children.
00:35:12.000I got so much guff for saying I would adopt a black child today.
00:35:15.000Like, so much crap that you wouldn't believe.
00:35:53.000I think that there are a lot of people who are ignorant of history.
00:35:55.000I think there are a lot of people who are ignorant of philosophy and constitutionalism, and I think there are a lot of people who are lacking in values.
00:36:00.000I also think that we've reached the point in American life where we're reverting to a pathetic tribalism, and it's true across the board.
00:36:07.000You see people who are just identifying by tribe as opposed to by ideas, and that's really sick.
00:36:12.000I mean, I think that's true for a lot of black folks.
00:36:14.000I think it's true for a lot of white folks.
00:36:17.000I'm a Jew, but I don't think of ethnic Jews as anything special.
00:36:21.000When people make a big deal out of the fact that Sandy Koufax was a Jew, this has no bearing for me because he doesn't subscribe to my ideology as far as I know.
00:36:30.000Certainly Noam Chomsky doesn't, and if Noam Chomsky were drowning in a river somewhere and somebody who was not Jewish who agreed with me was drowning in that same river, I would save the person who agreed with me.
00:36:49.000I mean, if I, listen, I wouldn't let Noam Chomsky drown in a river if he were the only alternative, but if there were two people, I could save one.
00:38:11.000In the wake of his triumphant victory in Iowa, Ted Cruz's party is not long-lived as his main rival for the GOP nominee, Donald Trump, accuses him of foul play.
00:41:10.000But for both of us, this is what I was saying.
00:41:13.000For people who are trying to hear what I was saying over the terrible commercial during the break, what I was actually saying was that you start off in this movement when you start off young.
00:41:21.000As an ideologue, somebody who really is a true believer.
00:41:24.000And then you realize that most of the people in the movement are actually awful.
00:41:27.000And then you sort of become cynical and you realize so many people are just nasty and in it to make a buck.
00:41:33.000And then you think, okay, well, at election time, at least, we'll sort of get our act together and we'll come back to, okay, we got to beat Hillary Clinton.
00:41:39.000We got to find the most conservative person who can win.
00:42:28.000That was a big anti-establishment victory.
00:42:30.000And then people can actually go and look at footage from years ago where I was talking to people.
00:42:34.000You know, whenever I would do stand-up comedy, they'd always open to this Q&A. And I mean, I've been doing stand-up since – well, I've been doing stand-up since I was 18.
00:42:42.000But now in the conservative side, people ask these Q&As and they would go, who's the next person?
00:42:47.000And I remember for years, right, it was Bobby Jindal.
00:43:17.000And I wonder how many of them right now would say Ted Cruz is the guy.
00:43:20.000I wonder how many of them would even admit to having said Ted Cruz is the guy.
00:43:23.000It does come down to a messiah complex, and I do find it somewhat ironic that the same people who claim that someone like me, who is a cuck-servative, or you, who actually just speak on issues, whether it's popular or not.
00:43:50.000And it's annoying because, again, I've defended Trump when I thought that Trump was right, or at least when I thought he was being unfairly maligned.
00:43:58.000And I've really, I think, done my best to do this.
00:44:00.000But, you know, I don't want this to turn into a sob session.
00:44:02.000I think that it's more important to say, okay, where can we go from here?
00:44:04.000And I think that, and I'll be frank with you, I am the most pessimistic person on the right side of the aisle.
00:45:50.000The bottom line here is that you do need to start from the premise that a movement needs to be built, and that movement needs to be built on ideas, not on temporary coalitions of power, because the left builds movements on ideas.
00:46:04.000There's a reason that Bernie Sanders...
00:46:05.000It's competing with Hillary Clinton for who can be more socialist, and then they get in power and they push their agenda.
00:46:10.000I really think the difference between the left and the right is this easy.
00:46:13.000In 1972, George McGovern gets destroyed by Richard Nixon.
00:46:16.000The left sees that as a pivotal moment and moves to the left.
00:46:19.000The right looks at 64, and we got Reagan out of 1964 and Barry Goldwater's loss, and we still say, oh boy, we can't have 1964 all over again.
00:48:36.000For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.
00:48:41.000I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift-wrapped and sent to a friend.
00:51:03.000Well, you were coughing up a lung from some seafood poisoning, from what you told me, so hopefully you're feeling better.
00:51:08.000I had, well, I went for a very beautiful meal, which was a lovely tasting menu, yadda yadda, but I think the oysters were maybe a bit bad, so I was supposed to be doing a pre-record with you, and I was kind of like spontaneously having stomach convulsions on the side of the motorway, so I'm sorry we didn't get to do that, but hey, you got me live even better.
00:52:14.000There's like a seven-question, like a questionnaire, and I think, like, strong support for Israel, like, immediately puts you in the coxervative box, so I'm busy as well.
00:52:35.000I suppose I would be probably kind of neocon on foreign policy because I'm quite hawkish.
00:52:40.000You get a pass because you're flamboyantly gay.
00:52:43.000Yes, but I think the alt-right, who I have many sympathies with, by the way, I like in many ways, I think they tend to be fairly anti-war, anti-expansionism.
00:54:58.000No, no, no, because you asked for me at a time when I was supposed to be having supper, and, like, I have, like, two evenings to myself a week these days, right?
00:55:07.000I try to, like, I try to keep, I don't have, I can't, like, I can't claw Sunday back, so instead I have, like, two evenings a week of me time.
00:56:16.000Well, I'm on the fence about that now, because I'm starting to get really into...
00:56:19.000I mean, the more I find out about the American Republican establishment and the American political establishment generally, the more I realize it's just like ours in London, and the more I want to see it hurt.
00:56:33.000No, I mean, they're coming round to the idea that they might have to pretend to tolerate him because they think he's controllable and they don't think Cruise is.
00:56:43.000Truthfully, though, wouldn't we admit that's kind of a testament to the fact that Cruise has pissed so many people off because he does his own thing, whether you like it or not?
00:56:50.000Yeah, yeah, and he should wear that as a badge of pride.
00:57:43.000Are they too close to the forest to see the trees, or do they see this and go, you know what, Trump might be right about some things?
00:57:50.000Brits don't like Trump because they don't like the brashness of his particular style of American conspicuous consumption and unapologetic brashness.
00:58:01.000Europeans, and particularly Brits, don't like that at all.
00:58:04.000So they sort of instinctively know they don't like him, and then they search for reasons...
00:58:10.000Search for reasons they can say they don't like him that are a bit more publicly acceptable than I don't like brash people, which is the truth.
00:58:17.000So they'll say, for example, he's an Islamophobe or he's a racist or whatever.
00:58:19.000We have this grotesque, terrible spectacle of our MPs in Parliament wasting taxpayer money.
00:58:25.000And that's where people like me, who have defended Trump on those issues, that, you know, what was it, duck, frump, whatever, that fake social justice warrior thing.
00:58:33.000He has the right enemies most of the time.
00:58:37.000He does, and this is why I wish you guys would get on board the train a bit more often, or at least just acknowledge this more often, because I know you hate him as a serious candidate, but I judge people by their enemies, and there is nobody, with the possible exception of me, that annoys the progressive left as much as the dear, sweet daddy.
00:58:55.000Well, I've been doing it back since 2009, when Trump was a Democrat, and I think, I don't know what you were doing, but I've pissed them off for a long time.
00:59:28.000I think it would be great if we point back to that.
00:59:31.000I get the feeling that he's not as robust on free speech as I would like, but I believe that he can be educated on that.
00:59:35.000I have had some, you know, on what little he said, for example, about technology and video games, which is an area that, the two areas that I'm into, his positions aren't perfect there, but that's only because I think they haven't really been fleshed out and gone through yet.
00:59:48.000I think on free speech, he's sort of wavered slightly, and as you know, I'm a...
00:59:52.000Yes, well, that's all I want to go before we go to the break.
00:59:54.000In England, Europe, is free speech making a comeback, do you think, or is it gone forever?
01:00:00.000There's a chance in America, because you have the First and, thank God, the Second Amendment, that basically protects your rights and your freedoms, that we don't have anything comparable in Europe.
01:00:11.000We don't have anything similar, and we don't have any...
01:00:16.000Nobody in the public square is sticking up for freedom of speech and nobody serious is sticking up for sort of free intellectual inquiry and honest open discussion.
01:00:26.000You do see it in America and you see a lot everywhere in America, even if the current establishment run by progressives in academia, media, publishing and news is is in the opposite direction.
01:00:37.000There is at least a huge body of people in public life who are saying, whoa!
01:00:41.000I know you're busy, and we do have to go to a break because this is syndicate.
01:00:45.000So where's the best place for people to find you, Milo?
01:00:47.000Oh, you can find me on Twitter at twitter.com slash Nero for as long as I'm still allowed to have it.
01:00:51.000And he will be in Michigan performing soon, and we'll be working on some videos.
01:00:55.000Milo, thank you so much for being here.
01:04:21.000But when Stormy, who is transgender, started knocking on neighbors' doors near her home in Heron, Illinois, one man turned her away, saying, nobody wants to buy cookies from a boy in a dress.
01:04:35.000What is your problem, you insensitive asshole?
01:04:39.000I know, okay, this is a story from BuzzFeed.
01:04:43.000I love that this guy said this to a child.
01:04:47.000Some boy came up who was clearly a boy trying to sell him some Samoas, and he just said, no, this is not going to happen.
01:05:56.000And if people think this sounds absurd, here's the thing with the alt-right or whoever it is, leftists who are anti-authoritarians but they still believe in high taxes or the Bernie Sanders.
01:06:09.000We talked about, what's her name, the Norwegian girl who wanted to be a cat, Stephanie, the 52-year-old man who claims he's a 6-year-old girl.
01:06:17.000You said that people were absolutely absurd when they talked about the unprecedented same-sex marriage, basically declaring that men and women were fundamentally interchangeable.
01:06:24.000You said, no, there's no slippery slope.
01:06:26.000That's just fear-mongering, conservatives are ignorant.
01:07:50.000You're going to, you know, put his name in the hat and they do the scary Halloween with the, put your hand in the spaghetti, tell them it's brain, you know?
01:11:22.000I'ma do the things that I wanna do I ain't got a thing to prove to you I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like I don't give a hoot about what you think Everyone likes to dance to a happy song All right, we're back.
01:13:38.000Oh my gosh, the salaries, they're increasing when wages are stagnant.
01:13:44.000When we're talking about the 1% or even the 0.1%, The vast majority are not public company CEOs who are screwing people through corporate boards.
01:13:53.000When you're talking about 1%, you're talking about household income annually of $400,000, right?
01:14:21.000I've talked about that with Mark Madsen.
01:14:22.000I think we talked about that with Sargon of a cat.
01:14:25.000But the vast majority are business owners and entrepreneurs who, despite all of the alternatives available to you, the consumer, have convinced you to give them your money in exchange for their product.
01:14:37.000Through competition, Most of these people have won your dollar to become a part of the 1%.
01:14:49.000So when you eliminate the big bank CEOs, let's take away the rhetoric, and they're a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the wealthy that you think you hate.
01:14:57.000You're talking about punishing people who provide you with nearly everything you use or enjoy.
01:15:05.000From franchise owners down to, you go to your local Starbucks, you go to your local Bigby.
01:15:33.000All of these people, if they're successful, if they've been around for, I don't have the exact number in front of me, I think it's somewhere between 5 and 10 years.
01:15:40.000If you've gotten these from a business that have been around for more than 5 years, let's call it 10 years, that owner is part of the 1%.
01:15:50.000And those are the people you're vilifying.
01:15:52.000Those are the people the left wants you to hate.
01:15:55.000And they want you to think there's unfair corporate influence in politics.
01:16:12.000What it was with Citizens United was about a...
01:16:15.000A group of people who made a film that was anti-Hillary.
01:16:17.000I think it was called Hillary the Movie or Clinton the Movie.
01:16:19.000And basically certain people in the government wanted to shut it down.
01:16:22.000And the Supreme Court ruled, you know what?
01:16:25.000Groups of people, corporations, are still entitled to their First Amendment rights.
01:16:29.000Still have the right to express freedom of speech.
01:16:31.000So if you want to do – now there are ways with finance reform, campaign finance reform, there are ways to fix some of the problems there.
01:16:40.000But to do it with Citizens United is to basically say that, you know what, because we don't like corporate influences in elections, we want to give that right to the federal government to determine who can and who cannot have a voice.
01:16:52.000And this is something that's so important You know, I get the sense that a lot of conservatives, a lot of people on the right, and I understand it, have seen so many executive actions, have seen so much authoritarianism coming from the left, from Barack Obama, that they're at this point, I mean, you'll read it, they just say, just screw them.
01:17:16.000And the reason it's scary is because having been selectively – I guess you could use not the term prosecuted legally, but having been selectively targeted politically – this has happened in the past, be it financially or not having your day in court.
01:18:14.000So it is important to realize that at any point, if this has been turned, if selective prosecution of the law, censorship of speech has been used by the government on either side, even if you like the enemies on that list, even if you like the fact that those people are targeted, those are the kinds of people you want to see targeted, even if it's giant, fat, disgusting Tess Holliday, Pudding, oozing from her pores.
01:18:39.000And you're saying, yeah, I like seeing her targeted, but they can target you next.
01:18:43.000That is important, and that is something that I hope everybody realizes, because that pendulum swings both ways.
01:18:50.000Something I think that's really funny, too, we talk about these taxes, and we talk about taxing the wealthy 1%.
01:18:55.000I think a lot of people out there just aren't even aware of basic economics, aren't even aware of, you know, when I talk about this with our audience, we'll talk about supply-side economics.
01:19:04.000And, of course, you know, Paul Krugman has sort of tried to already debunk that, and you talk about why that's inaccurate.
01:19:08.000But you realize a lot of people, I'm sure Nat Gay Jared understands this, in a generation, haven't even gotten that far down to the branch of the debate.
01:19:15.000So if I say, for example, like the Laffer curve, does that mean anything to you?
01:19:20.000It does only because of our previous conversations, though.
01:19:22.000So there are people out there who don't know the Laffer curve, and Paul Krugman debunked it by acknowledging it.
01:19:27.000Now, Paul Krugman is just, at New York Times, is the ultimate straw man builder so he can destroy it, right?
01:19:33.000Some people, they try and say conservatives simplify the Laffer curve.
01:21:16.000Now, some people might say, well, actually, that's not true, because when we tax people at 70 percent, the revenue actually went up to 19.5 percent as opposed to 18.1.
01:21:26.000There's a point of diminishing returns that people need to understand.
01:21:29.000I hate to get wonky, I hate to get dry on the economics with you, but I think a lot of people, we have a lot of listeners who are younger, don't understand that it is not a linear equation.
01:21:38.000Tax people more, you get this much more revenue.
01:22:53.000They'll try and bring up something that happened in, I don't know, some inconsequential country like Barbados with some housing collapse and go, well, you don't know about that, son.
01:24:14.000Even if it did, your worldview says that it's still wrong to eliminate competition, to put private businesses out of business, and ensure only one option for healthcare, the government option.
01:24:28.000You have baseline information to socialize healthcare work, learn about countries like Canada, what's happening in Europe and the collapse in medical research, and then you can piecemeal the new information that comes in.
01:24:41.000Have your baseline information and a worldview, and it makes it easier to process some of this stuff, because a lot of the information out there is flat out untrue, and some of it is a little too complex for some of you to understand.
01:24:53.000Not for me or Ben Shapiro, because, well, listen, we're freaking geniuses.
01:25:55.000For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.
01:26:00.000I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift wrapped and sent to a friend.
01:26:35.000Blitzer, I understand why one can maybe feel that way, but I think if you take my comments in context as a neurosurgeon, you'll see that I was looking at it objectively.
01:26:46.000Just like I believe if someone were to look at your match on Celebrity Jeopardy objectively, it would not be dissimilar to an incident of rape in an alleyway the way that Andy Richter handled you on an intellectual level.
01:27:02.000And I think the sort of demagoguery can go either way, and I don't think it's conducive toward a better dialogue, considering that in the figurative sense, you were sexually assaulted on Celebrity Jeopardy.
01:27:57.000Obviously, a lot happened this last week in Iowa, so I'm pretty excited to get this exclusive interview with the Iowa caucus coin toss czar, James.
01:29:22.000As a matter of fact, Bernie was saying on Twitter that he suspected some things were less than kosher, that things were very close.
01:29:31.000So how was it finally determined when a race is so close with the Iowa caucus?
01:29:38.000Well, in a situation like that, you know, the experts, we get together, and we have to look at the race and proceed in a very cautious, Legally binding fashion.
01:29:52.000And we decided to, you know, flip a coin.
01:30:59.000Well, first, with my right hand, I make a fist, and I take my thumb, and I place it between my index and middle finger.
01:31:09.000This is to create enough pressure and leverage to place the coin above my thumb so that I can push it up far enough into the air into a flipping motion, okay?
01:31:24.000I think I see where this is going, but I'll let you finish because I'm hoping it's something different than I'm anticipating.
01:31:31.000And once the coin is into the air, my fist turns into an open-faced palm Underneath the coin in the air to catch the coin.
01:31:42.000Once the coin lands into my palm, which is, you know, a very tricky situation, but it landed in my palm every single time, I will place my open-faced palm onto my closed-faced palm on my left hand, on the back of my hand, to reveal the winner.
01:33:08.000We decided to go best two out of three, and the first three went to tails to Hillary Clinton, and we knew that there was not a chance in hell that that could happen three times in a row.
01:33:22.000So we decided to go to six, and she won all six.
01:35:57.000What you gotta do is get your doctor to give you the pills.
01:36:02.000This pill's gonna bring little Russell out to play, but then you need another pill for your wife so you can just live into the coffee and you can...
01:36:10.000This has been Your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.
01:36:48.000For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.
01:36:53.000I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift-wrapped and sent to a friend.
01:37:09.000I know you do, Lyle, but you're an elitist bastard.
01:37:11.000That's why for simpletons like me, I prefer simplifiedwine.com or just calling 844-297-WINE. You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.
01:42:05.000I've not heard him talk about the discrimination toward Christians when it deals with bakeries or bed and breakfasts, right, because they don't want to serve people.
01:42:16.000Is there something wrong with your beverage?
01:42:17.000You're looking at it as though you got sick.
01:45:09.000My point is, any time you try and act as...
01:45:13.000We need to prevent the marginalization of this group.
01:45:14.000You're going to marginalize someone else.
01:45:17.000And we are at the point where the minority has screamed so loudly.
01:45:20.000We're talking very, very, less than single digit percentage point here of transgender, of social justice warriors, of angry fat feminists, of other kin, that we are marginalizing everybody else.
01:45:35.000Listen, women aren't big fans of having to compete against men.
01:45:39.000They're also not big fans of being raped by Muslims in record numbers all across Europe.
01:45:47.000And then we talk about rape culture here in the United States?
01:45:50.000The fact that Barack Obama in today's climate decided to stop by the Islamic Society of Baltimore is emblematic of everything that is wrong.
01:45:59.000It's someone who doesn't want to deal with the real issues.
01:46:02.000And it's a reason why Trump has had so much popularity, and I acknowledge it, and there's value in that.
01:46:05.000Someone who's just willing to say, hey, let's call this out, right?
01:52:33.000And you've kind of had a turning point.
01:52:35.000So with Iowa, let me ask you this, firstly.
01:52:38.000Do you think Ted Cruz personally sent out the order to tell everyone that Ben Carson, his campaign had been stopped and that they should vote for him instead, and that's why he won?
01:55:33.000That they're reaching all the way into the barrel for this, which is just politics.
01:55:40.000If you get a report from CNN saying that Carson's doing something very unusual and not continuing on the campaign trail, he's going to go back to Florida to get some new clothes.
01:56:14.000I mean, I don't watch, I mean, there's so much, you know, more than watching a lifetime of rallies and stuff, but not on a public, like, broad platform.
01:57:49.000Whether or not it's going to hurt Ted Cruz, it might, especially as other candidates start dropping out of the race and there are votes to be collected.
01:57:58.000So I don't know if it's going to hurt Ted Cruz.
02:01:45.000It is great, and I respect the guy's troll game.
02:01:47.000Well done, Dick Morris, but I don't think you'll see Courtney's feet.
02:01:51.000Courtney, we talked about this with you, your first time on the program, about women being able to enlist in the military in active combat.
02:02:00.000Well, the first female combatant, first one, you wrote about this at ladderwithcrader.com.
02:03:12.000I hope she's not in a ditch somewhere, but I'm going to make fun of her anyway.
02:03:15.000Well, obviously we hope she's not in a ditch, and we honor anyone who serves their country, but...
02:03:21.000It got to pat you at least like a week.
02:03:23.000I think Stalker Jim tweeted us, how did they figure out she went AWOL? Did the independent review of the performance of her troop all of a sudden skyrocket?
02:03:32.000I know this is not indicative and you have plenty of women who don't go AWOL who will do fine, right?
02:04:07.000It's really embarrassing when women start insisting, like, I want maternity leave so that, you know, I want to be in the military, but I also want to have babies.
02:04:19.000When you're on, I can just play with the soundboard.
02:04:44.000And then you tune in and go, my daughter is on this live stream of this popular show.
02:04:48.000you go back to your home on whore island and that's why we do this show you know what you gotta keep pressing your children reach for the stars reach for the it won't always happen your first time sometimes you have to go back to your home if you aim for the stars at the very least if you miss you'll land on whore island so courtney um yeah maternity leave the thing about the military is it was a perfect microcosm for an apolitical atmosphere and And having entertained the troops several different times, they talked about that a lot.
02:05:18.000Even, you know, after Barack Obama came in when we were doing these interviews in Guantanamo Bay, I remember them going like, listen, you know, a lot of us, they're not really fans of this guy, but they're not going to tell you because we're not allowed to talk about this.
02:05:28.000So it was really tough to get them to speak on camera.
02:05:30.000They had to be politically neutral because this was their commander-in-chief.
02:05:34.000He's not really our commander-in-chief.
02:05:36.000That's a term that's sort of, I guess, misappropriate.
02:06:22.000And if you want to be in the military, fine.
02:06:24.000You need to be able to kill people and break things and do it really well.
02:06:30.000It is not supposed to be a petri dish for social experiments.
02:06:36.000Remember that episode of the Wonder Years where the older brother, who was this butch bully, he couldn't get into the military and he was crying because he had flat feet?
02:08:46.000When you see lesbians in real life driving the Subaru Foresters, they're overweight, they're dumpy, they've got really butch, short haircuts, they're unattractive.
02:08:58.000And I know that they're all going to come out with knives against me for saying this, but sometimes I think that they're lesbians because they couldn't get them.
02:09:27.000It hasn't made sense to me, and I actually had explained to me by a conservative pundit who was gay and said, well, once you open the doors, you expand your horizon sexually, then you're able...
02:10:41.000I don't need third wave feminism, because I can do things for myself.
02:10:44.000And if a guy says something that I find offensive, I don't go crying about it.
02:10:50.000I also think some of these women have never had a man say anything complimentary to them, so they don't want other women having compliments from men either.
02:11:01.000I think that's a dirty little secret of the third wave feminists.
02:11:05.000They want to perceive everything as rape culture because no one has ever said to them, you look hot today.
