00:00:36.000 Who writes these speeches?

00:00:38.000 It must be the same person who cooked your face in a waffle iron.

00:00:43.000 Al Pacino piano.

00:00:45.000 It's only one note.

00:00:49.000 I love this episode. 0.98

00:00:50.000 It's how you make lemonade from sh**.

00:00:53.000 All depictions of Kim family must be treated with the same reverence as the men themselves, which is why we've made this recent addition to our company restaurant. 0.99

00:01:01.000 I like to pee on the lips and not actually into the mouth.

00:01:04.000 Well, you and R. Kelly.

00:01:06.000 No.

00:01:06.000 Griff is actually the gentleman I spoke about in the clothes one time at the gym.

00:01:09.000 The food for thought guy.

00:01:10.000 I want to see your thoughts so you can see that this is what's airing right now on television.

00:01:15.000 Let's also not forget someone in the trans community.

00:01:18.000 I absolutely would cover the right to have an abortion. 0.80

00:01:20.000 People are really discussing this.

00:01:22.000 You just, that wasn't an actual debate.

00:01:23.000 That wasn't the presidential debate.

00:01:24.000 That doesn't trick TV or something.

00:01:26.000 No.

00:02:05.000 The half-Asian and the wine guy? 0.75

00:02:07.000 Well, we, uh, we looked everywhere, sir.

00:02:09.000 I mean, ma'am.

00:02:10.000 I mean, uh, Xeer.

00:02:11.000 Never mind.

00:02:12.000 It doesn't matter.

00:02:16.000 Have you read our new community guidelines yet?

00:02:19.000 Yes, sir, but they're, uh, they're a little confusing, uh, or contradictory.

00:02:22.000 We've already broken most of them.

00:02:25.000 Audio wave.

00:02:28.000 You desecrated a Dan Fogelberg song, but congratulations, you're actually the least offensive of the bunch.

00:02:38.000 Quarter Black Garrett. 0.99

00:02:39.000 Hello.

00:02:42.000 You've taken part in some of the most racist sketches ever uploaded to this platform. 0.98

00:02:49.000 Fat, drunken Quarter Black is no way to go through life, son. 1.00

00:02:56.000 And Mr. Crouch.

00:02:57.000 The reason we had to rewrite our community guidelines in the first place.

00:03:02.000 There is literally not a single marginalized group that you haven't insulted. 0.90

00:03:09.000 We've even had to create new groups just because of you.

00:03:12.000 A fine example you've set.

00:03:14.000 Now make sure you tell the half-Asian And then the wine guy, exactly what I'm about to tell you. 0.95

00:03:21.000 What was that, sir?

00:03:22.000 You're out.

00:03:23.000 Finished.

00:03:24.000 At YouTube.

00:03:26.000 Deplatformed.

00:03:27.000 I want you off this channel Monday morning.

00:03:30.000 And I'm sure you'll be happy to know I've contacted Facebook and Twitter as well.

00:03:35.000 Also LinkedIn, TikTok, Slack, Spotify.

00:03:39.000 You won't be able to so much as open a MySpace account.

00:03:44.000 Well... Well... Out with it!

00:03:48.000 Yes!

00:03:49.000 ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪

00:05:29.000 ♪♪♪ What a wonderful start to the show.

00:05:42.000 Hey, by the way, that reminds me, our guest today, we'll be talking about Pete Buttigieg, whether he's a moderate candidate or not is the question of the day.

00:05:49.000 Have you heard him referred to as a moderate candidate, Pete Buttigieg of Indiana?

00:05:53.000 And do you think that there have been any truly moderate Democrats since 2000, I don't know, take your pick.

00:06:01.000 And I realize I just meant to say any moderate, but I said, and it sounded like I said sea anemones.

00:06:05.000 Really?

00:06:06.000 Which I don't know if that's an actual thing.

00:06:07.000 Reminds me, my lawyer, as you see, dies horribly.

00:06:10.000 But, today we have, he protected Mike Tyson.

00:06:14.000 Jeffrey Epstein.

00:06:15.000 Harvey Weinstein.

00:06:16.000 Recently, Donald Trump.

00:06:17.000 America's favorite lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, is here.

00:06:23.000 But first, oh wait, hold on a second, before we get to that, half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman, how are you?

00:06:26.000 I'm wonderful, glad to be here.

00:06:27.000 Quarter Black Garrett, how are you, sir?

00:06:28.000 I'm great.

00:06:29.000 You need a hood pass?

00:06:30.000 I don't want it.

00:06:30.000 I don't want to see it.

00:06:31.000 And Audio Wade, G. Morgan Jr., what's your wine of the day?

00:06:35.000 Wine of the day is Born of Fire Cabernet.

00:06:37.000 Oh, okay.

00:06:37.000 Well, next time you can serve it to our audience members.

00:06:39.000 Do you realize that when you said let's serve it to our audience members and he refused?

00:06:41.000 I did.

00:06:42.000 I refused service.

00:06:44.000 He seems like a nice guy. 1.00

00:06:46.000 But behind the scenes, he's a massive dick. 1.00

00:06:49.000 I don't serve white people, Stephen. 1.00

00:06:51.000 Sorry.

00:06:51.000 Before we move on, we have to get to this!

00:06:54.000 It's pretty high-pitched.

00:07:06.000 Get your hands off me! 1.00

00:07:11.000 Get your hands off me! 1.00

00:07:17.000 For those listening on audio, I'm sorry.

00:07:19.000 That was the anti-trump protester.

00:07:23.000 But I knew it looked familiar.

00:07:25.000 And that's Conor McGregor's walkout music.

00:07:41.000 Feels like the voice is going to be really hurting.

00:07:43.000 I just, you can't even say in 2020, like, hey, don't, don't just scream out haphazardly.

00:07:50.000 It's not how adults act.

00:07:52.000 Like a toddler.

00:07:53.000 You're an adult.

00:07:54.000 That's awesome.

00:07:54.000 I love emotional.

00:07:55.000 You're not dropping your, your Irish folk song influence single.

00:07:58.000 Okay.

00:08:00.000 We'll also be talking about Pete Buttigieg quite a bit today, and Michael Bloomberg, but leading the news, Bernie Sanders, of course, was the winner of the New Hampshire primary, scored a slim victory over former mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sanders now turns his attention to South Carolina.

00:08:15.000 That's the big story, of course, if you've been following it, where he's going to have to shift gears.

00:08:18.000 People are talking about this.

00:08:19.000 We don't talk about political strategy whole out in the show, but he's going to need to

00:08:22.000 appeal and he's been trying to more traditionally religious voters.

00:08:36.000 you What you doing?

00:08:40.000 I'm fasting, Bernie.

00:08:41.000 You know, if you were to endorse me for leader of the free world, everyone could be fasting all the time.

00:08:46.000 It's true.

00:08:47.000 Believe me, I know.

00:08:48.000 Jesus, I'd like you to think about joining me.

00:08:51.000 We can spread matching uniforms and crippling taxes across the world.

00:08:57.000 You mean stealing?

00:08:58.000 Democratic.

00:08:59.000 Stealing.

00:08:59.000 So stealing.

00:09:00.000 No, no.

00:09:01.000 Democratic socialism!

00:09:04.000 I'm okay.

00:09:04.000 I'm gonna go back to fasting.

00:09:06.000 What if I were to give you free healthcare?

00:09:10.000 Free healthcare?

00:09:11.000 Really?

00:09:11.000 Yes!

00:09:12.000 Except you'd have to pay for it.

00:09:15.000 I'm not interested in any way, shape, or form.

00:09:17.000 Perhaps I could interest you in an assortment of dreidel!

00:09:26.000 Look, I've had enough.

00:09:28.000 I don't want any of your stuff. 0.98

00:09:29.000 You're quite the persnickety Jew, I see! 1.00

00:09:33.000 Do you like free speech? 0.95

00:09:36.000 Very much so.

00:09:37.000 It's great.

00:09:37.000 We're fresh out!

00:09:39.000 But we do have some of these!

00:09:45.000 I can do this all day!

00:09:47.000 I'm okay.

00:09:48.000 Wait!

00:09:52.000 Endless possibilities!

00:09:54.000 Can't out-raise you through this song, doodah!

00:09:58.000 Doodah! 1.00

00:09:59.000 What about free healthcare?

00:10:01.000 I'm gonna... Oh!

00:10:03.000 Oh! 0.60

00:10:03.000 And Jesus! 0.60

00:10:04.000 Yeah, but... One more thing!

00:10:07.000 If you're truly God's son, and I'm not saying you are not, then jump down from this mountain!

00:10:16.000 Surely the angels will owe my living!

00:10:18.000 Aaaaaaaaaaaah! 0.91

00:10:20.000 Oh! Oh, shit! Oh! Oh! 1.00

00:10:24.000 The Son of Man rigging it against Bernie.

00:10:26.000 That's true.

00:10:27.000 Everybody's against him.

00:10:28.000 The Lamb of God clearly has a klobuchar bent. 0.98

00:10:32.000 That ending really got me.

00:10:35.000 Also, by the way, some sad news to probably apologize for this program.

00:10:39.000 Alan Dershowitz after this, America's favorite lawyer.

00:10:44.000 Sad news, actually.

00:10:45.000 An endangered wolf that walked 8,700 miles to find a mate.

00:10:51.000 And love has died.

00:10:52.000 This comes from The Guardian.

00:10:53.000 Scientists had been tracking the wolf since she left Oregon for California in 2018, cross-country to find a mate.

00:11:01.000 They named her OR54, which in Cherokee translates to Traveling Whore Wolf.

00:11:08.000 Oh, well.

00:11:09.000 It's starting to make sense now.

00:11:13.000 She knows what she wants. 0.93

00:11:15.000 Did she get lost on the way?

00:11:16.000 8,700 miles from Oregon to California? 1.00

00:11:18.000 No, she's just a filthy wolf slut. 1.00

00:11:20.000 So, in international news, you know what? 1.00

00:11:24.000 Horror wolf, traveling horror wolf, they're not going to respect you until you respect yourself.

00:11:29.000 You just have to be yourself.

00:11:30.000 It's enough.

00:11:31.000 It's enough.

00:11:32.000 In international news, by the way, the Swiss, they don't make the news a whole lot, but they voted to penalize public homophobia now.

00:11:39.000 That's going to be a new law.

00:11:41.000 It wasn't before. 0.94

00:11:42.000 Now they are protected, which is actually great news for Switzerland's number one favorite hot cocoa brand, Swiss Mr. F***er. 0.77

00:11:49.000 So that is... 0.74

00:11:53.000 It's delicious.

00:11:53.000 It's an offshoot brand.

00:11:55.000 Is that alkali processed cocoa?

00:11:57.000 I don't touch it unless it is.

00:11:59.000 I don't think it is.

00:12:00.000 I'm a cacao fan, really.

00:12:01.000 Oh, good lord.

00:12:02.000 And you know what the difference is?

00:12:03.000 Nothing. 1.00

00:12:03.000 It means I'm an asshole. 1.00

00:12:06.000 I just say cacao because I want to have the conversation. 1.00

00:12:09.000 What do you mean, cocoa?

00:12:10.000 I say, no, no, no, cacao.

00:12:11.000 Then I explain to you the different processing.

00:12:12.000 It just means you should walk along your merry way and avoid me at a party.

00:12:16.000 Yes.

00:12:17.000 Agreed.

00:12:17.000 I do that.

00:12:18.000 I do that anyway.

00:12:18.000 I also pay too much for groceries.

00:12:19.000 So, a man was, uh, in other news, he was arrested for trying to pay a prostitute. 0.70

00:12:25.000 With a hamburger. 0.77

00:12:28.000 From Newsweek.

00:12:29.000 It's been a good hamburger. 0.68

00:12:30.000 It may seem out of the ordinary to some, trying to pay for sex with a hamburger, but it's actually surprisingly and increasingly common.

00:12:37.000 It happens quite a bit.

00:12:39.000 Oh my gosh, yes.

00:12:42.000 Why McDonald's hamburgers?

00:12:43.000 Don't even get me started on the Burger King Kids Club.

00:12:45.000 It's not a club you want to be a part of.

00:12:48.000 No, it is not.

00:12:49.000 For people who listen to audio going, what is this?

00:12:50.000 It makes no sense.

00:12:52.000 Also, for those listening to audio, do you remember Grimace?

00:12:56.000 It's kind of central.

00:12:57.000 It interests you.

00:12:57.000 For those listening on audio, you're listening to a TV show.

00:13:00.000 Yes, effectively.

00:13:02.000 But we still want you there.

00:13:03.000 We do, we love you.

00:13:04.000 And remember, the key takeaway here is that Gerald is an ungenerous ****.

00:13:08.000 That's true. 0.97

00:13:10.000 That's it.

00:13:11.000 Gerald needs some Grimace Love.

00:13:13.000 Yes, he does.

00:13:15.000 What do you use?

00:13:15.000 Do you pay with McDouble's?

00:13:18.000 No, I pay with wine.

00:13:19.000 You pay with wine?

00:13:19.000 Yes.

00:13:20.000 Okay, good.

00:13:20.000 Just about everything.

00:13:21.000 Good, yeah.

00:13:21.000 I just boxed him into a corner because I know his wife is watching.

00:13:25.000 I didn't say I paid for sex with Wyatt. 0.99

00:13:26.000 No, no, no, no. 0.96

00:13:27.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:13:27.000 Just companionship.

00:13:29.000 Yeah.

00:13:31.000 Gerald's like, I just need you to come over here and hold me.

00:13:35.000 Nuzzle me, you large... Muzzle me? 0.63

00:13:38.000 What? 0.67

00:13:39.000 Nuzzle.

00:13:39.000 Nuzzle?

00:13:40.000 I don't even need to host this.

00:13:40.000 I'm just going to let you two go.

00:13:42.000 I know.

00:13:42.000 Thank you.

00:13:43.000 Hey, by the way, another story proving once again that internet is not real life.

00:13:48.000 Andrew Yang dropped out of the presidential race.

00:13:51.000 Oh, cousin.

00:13:53.000 Man, you were doing so good, your parents were almost proud.

00:13:58.000 I just thought, actually, when I saw the story, I thought it was a new Hallmark film with Dean Cain.

00:14:03.000 It could be.

00:14:04.000 It absolutely could be.

00:14:06.000 Andrew Yang told supporters, I'm not someone who wants to take people's time and dedication if I don't think we have a chance to win.

00:14:13.000 So everyone here, listen, obviously we look at these people as worthy competitors.

00:14:17.000 Everyone here wishes Mr. Yang well in his future endeavors, of course, no ill will.

00:14:21.000 But for Andrew and the Yang gang, it's time to close. 0.95

00:14:25.000 Mr. Yang, your signature policy is to give every adult in the United States $1,000 a month, no questions asked.

00:14:33.000 That's right.

00:14:33.000 I think that's like $3.2 trillion a year.

00:14:34.000 That's right. I think that's like 3.2 trillion dollars a year. How would you do that? Sorry?

00:14:44.000 Time to close.

00:14:47.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

00:14:57.000 Time to close.

00:14:59.000 It's time to go to places where you go to. 0.99

00:15:03.000 You look like you've been f***ing shaved! 0.97

00:15:07.000 Pizza guy. 0.99

00:15:08.000 I want that pizza.

00:15:11.000 It's time for things to close.

00:15:16.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:15:21.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:15:26.000 Things to close.

00:15:27.000 Who's next?

00:15:28.000 to the moon.

00:15:30.000 The door opens and the office is dialed.

00:15:32.000 The office opening is complete.

00:15:34.000 Who's next?

00:15:36.000 Oh no.

00:15:38.000 Uh...

00:15:40.000 ...

00:15:46.000 I got stepped in.

00:15:48.000 No, no, no.

00:15:50.000 Presidential candidates shouldn't be doing jello shots.

00:15:52.000 That's Andrew's alt-right lawyer. He's like,

00:15:56.000 I really need you to stop.

00:15:58.000 I wish that I loved anything as much as Andrew Yang loved running for president.

00:16:02.000 Oh man.

00:16:03.000 He's a good guy.

00:16:03.000 I'm going to miss him.

00:16:04.000 He had a good time with it.

00:16:04.000 Great spirit.

00:16:05.000 Also, by the way, Tom Steyer dropped out.

00:16:09.000 Who?

00:16:09.000 You called me.

00:16:10.000 You told me.

00:16:11.000 All right, let's not do that.

00:16:12.000 I don't want to get in the middle of it.

00:16:13.000 I just want to say hi, Bernie.

00:16:14.000 Yeah, good.

00:16:15.000 OK.

00:16:21.000 That was Tom Steyer.

00:16:22.000 It was.

00:16:23.000 Oh, wow.

00:16:23.000 We all have different highlight reels, OK?

00:16:24.000 Actually, Tom Steyer didn't drop out.

00:16:26.000 That was actually Michael Bennett.

00:16:28.000 Oh, wow.

00:16:29.000 I wanted to say hi.

00:16:30.000 When I tell the story, it's Tom Steyer.

00:16:32.000 OK.

00:16:34.000 You know, this runs in a delay, so there's a 90% chance he, too, will drop.

00:16:39.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:16:40.000 Hey, is Hickenlooper dead?

00:16:44.000 Yes.

00:16:44.000 Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg is actually now paying, this is a big story, he's paying influencers to make him seem cool.

00:16:53.000 That's terrible.

00:16:54.000 Wow, dude.

00:16:55.000 This comes from the Daily Beast.

00:16:56.000 For $150, the Bloomberg campaign will pay people to say that Mike Bloomberg is the most electable.

00:17:02.000 And he's really trying to appeal to young people.

00:17:04.000 A lot of people don't remember this.

00:17:05.000 Did you ever see the clip for, um, um, the moves like Bloomberg?

00:17:09.000 It's like that symptoms episode where it's please welcome counselor black 1.00

00:17:23.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:17:24.000 Jeez.

00:17:25.000 That hurt.

00:17:26.000 The guy, listen, Michael Bloomberg, he really just wants the millennial vote, and it's not been working out well for him.

00:17:33.000 We understand what he's... Did somebody say Bloomberg?

00:17:36.000 Oh, no.

00:17:37.000 I don't think we did.

00:17:38.000 Oh.

00:17:38.000 Look.

00:17:42.000 If you only had one Bloomberg.

00:17:45.000 Nope, that's enough.

00:17:45.000 I don't want this to happen on my show.

00:17:47.000 Get off.

00:17:47.000 Leave.

00:17:48.000 That's enough.

00:17:49.000 Leave $150 on the desk.

00:17:50.000 Okay.

00:17:54.000 Jeez.

00:17:55.000 Gotta get paid.

00:17:56.000 I don't even care about his politics or the weird face.

00:17:59.000 It's just, it's lazy writing.

00:18:01.000 I thought you were going to say heist.

00:18:03.000 Who only has one Bloomberg?

00:18:05.000 That's true.

00:18:06.000 Bloomberg.

00:18:07.000 You're just trying to write it backwards.

00:18:10.000 I love it.

00:18:11.000 I don't.

00:18:12.000 A Louisiana man, by the way.

00:18:14.000 We're going to be talking about Pete Buttigieg and Alan Dershowitz.

00:18:15.000 Soon.

00:18:16.000 Soon.

00:18:16.000 Spoiler alert.

00:18:17.000 Again, do you think Pete Buttigieg is a moderate candidate?

00:18:20.000 That's how they're trying to sell him right now.

00:18:21.000 I do not agree.

00:18:22.000 A Louisiana man, in other news, he's been arrested and charged for burning down three historically black churches.

00:18:29.000 This comes from NPR.

00:18:31.000 He pled guilty to all counts and was sentenced to five years in a historically black prison.

00:18:36.000 It's not going to go well.

00:18:38.000 Yeah.

00:18:38.000 Finally, My Little Pony, I think it's more funny to me because it's the theater of the mind.

00:18:43.000 Yeah, sure.

00:18:44.000 What's he imagining? 0.98

00:18:45.000 Rape. 0.98

00:18:46.000 So finally, My Little Pony, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, except that guy.

00:18:53.000 My Little Pony and Transformers have announced a crossover now.

00:18:56.000 Yes!

00:18:57.000 This comes from comicbook.com because it's a slow news week, so we can put it in the legitimate news source.

00:19:02.000 Twilight Sparkle teams up with Optimus Prime to overcome malevolent magic and machinery.

00:19:08.000 The new series will be aptly called Transponies, and they actually have already signed the merchan- We know this.

00:19:15.000 It's all about merchandising.

00:19:15.000 We've signed the merchandising deal already, and we have an exclusive first look.

00:19:31.000 Here, you can use whatever restroom you like. 0.73

00:19:35.000 Thanks, Optimus Prime!

00:19:40.000 My Little Tree.

00:19:42.000 Available exclusively at Target.

00:19:45.000 They put all their eggs in the brick-and-mortar basket.

00:19:48.000 And it's panning out!

00:19:50.000 It is, it's working.

00:19:51.000 I have to admit, I was wrong. 0.97

00:19:53.000 I didn't think they were positioned well to compete with Amazon and Walmart, but I didn't see my little d*** pony coming down the pike. 1.00

00:19:59.000 Innovation wins. 0.76

00:20:01.000 What am I, an oracle?

00:20:04.000 By the way, our trivia contest winner from last week, who is it there, Quarterback Garrett?

00:20:07.000 It is Rebecca Patterson.

00:20:09.000 Oh, and she correctly identified one of my favorite cigars, Brickhouse Standard.

00:20:14.000 Absolutely.

00:20:15.000 And I think we're about, you guys ready?

00:20:16.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:20:18.000 Did you take too much of a nip of the bourbon?

00:20:19.000 No.

00:20:20.000 You seem very tired.

00:20:21.000 I'm just Asian.

00:20:23.000 Well, no, but it's the opposite, because you never have the puffs under your eyes.

00:20:26.000 It's usually very taut.

00:20:27.000 It's been a long week.

00:20:28.000 Hey, I've been crying over my cousin Andrew.

00:20:30.000 It's like when underneath your eyes, it's like when I put up a pup tent.

00:20:34.000 I called Kim Jong-un.

00:20:35.000 We were commiserating together.

00:20:37.000 The under bags of your eyes are like that tent that self-pups in the movie Congo.

00:20:41.000 You were crying. 0.91

00:20:41.000 Parasite wins. 0.91

00:20:43.000 Alright, I just want to make sure you're ready because it's time for the meat segments!

00:20:50.000 It's a fast one.

00:20:51.000 I'm hungry now.

00:20:52.000 So this is what we'll be talking about today.

00:20:54.000 You've been hearing this quite a bit, that Pete Buttigieg, I don't care how it's pronounced, that he is the moderate in the Democratic Party.

00:21:02.000 Everyone's been hearing this, right?

00:21:03.000 This is the attack.

00:21:03.000 They're trying to frame it after New Hampshire and after Iowa.

00:21:07.000 And it's this war between Sanders and Pete Buttigieg.

00:21:10.000 Sanders, he's leading in total votes.

00:21:11.000 Buttigieg has slightly more delegates.

00:21:13.000 Well, let's let someone else tell you so that you believe it.

00:21:17.000 You need 1,991 delegates to win the nomination.

00:21:21.000 This is the beginning of a long road to that Democratic convention in Milwaukee.

00:21:25.000 Take a look at where we are.

00:21:27.000 Buttigieg actually has a two-delegate lead at 23.

00:21:30.000 Sanders, 21.

00:21:30.000 Warren, 8.

00:21:31.000 Klobuchar, 7.

00:21:31.000 Sanders 21, Warren 8, Klobuchar 7, Biden down at 6.

00:21:36.000 So Bernie Sanders very well emerges from New Hampshire after a strong showing in Iowa as

00:21:42.000 the national frontrunner at this rate?

00:21:43.000 Look at his face.

00:21:44.000 But actually, in the way you get the nomination, winning 1,991 delegates, it's Pete Buttigieg who, out of these first two contests, is actually out in front.

00:21:54.000 Do you see his eye?

00:21:54.000 It looks like he just saw the Pillsbury Doughboy on his table.

00:21:57.000 He's like, what? 0.87

00:21:58.000 He looks like Judge Napolitano just f***ed the kid from Christmas Story. 0.97

00:22:02.000 Oh my gosh. 0.98

00:22:04.000 He's like, ah!

00:22:06.000 Pete Buttigieg is leading!

00:22:07.000 Put your eye out.

00:22:08.000 What is up?

00:22:09.000 He's so enthusiastic.

00:22:11.000 It's bizarre to me.

00:22:11.000 Oh my gosh.

00:22:12.000 We can bleep it.

00:22:12.000 That's OK.

00:22:13.000 We'll make it work.

00:22:15.000 My reputation means not a thing.

00:22:18.000 Pink has told me I'm perfect the way I am.

00:22:20.000 So just a quick recap.

00:22:22.000 Iowa, people have been asking about the Iowa debacle.

00:22:24.000 I find it incredibly boring.

00:22:25.000 There was an app made by Democrats.

00:22:27.000 It was Shadow Inc., which had only been around a couple of months to calculate the results.

00:22:32.000 The app malfunctioned.

00:22:33.000 And then we found out that Pete Buttigieg made a victory speech, even though there were zero official results, which, by the way, good for you.

00:22:40.000 That's a pimp move, Pete Buttigieg.

00:22:41.000 I actually respect it.

00:22:42.000 Like, hey, I haven't announced a winner.

00:22:43.000 I'm just going to say I'm a winner.

00:22:44.000 Boom.

00:22:45.000 But that's illegal.

00:22:46.000 I don't really care.

00:22:49.000 The coins that told him.

00:22:51.000 I'm gay.

00:22:51.000 If they say I can't do it, I'll just say it's a hate crime and that'll be that.

00:22:54.000 Done and done.

00:22:55.000 By the way, I don't think he is.

00:22:57.000 I think it's a reverse beard.

00:23:00.000 Really?

00:23:01.000 Yeah, I think he's straight as an arrow.

00:23:02.000 He's straight and just boring.

00:23:06.000 And by the way, it also turns out his campaign donated over $40,000 to the App Company.

00:23:10.000 What?

00:23:11.000 And the Iowa Democratic Party, they were caught making errors that strangely always seemed to favor Pete Buttigieg over Bernie, so you can look into it.

00:23:19.000 I understand why people think the deck may be stacked against Bernie.

00:23:22.000 I'm not willing to confirm that or say that I agree with you, but I understand why people might sort of express that sentiment.

00:23:28.000 So a lot of Bernie bros think something fishy's going on.

00:23:30.000 Okay, fine.

00:23:32.000 The dynamic here now is that it's the socialist, Bernie Sanders, versus this sort of centrist.

00:23:37.000 That's what they're trying to create with Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders.

00:23:40.000 The question remains, is Butt Gig actually a moderate?

00:23:44.000 You've been fed that a whole lot.

00:23:47.000 No.

00:23:47.000 Let's get down to brass tacks.

00:23:49.000 Let's start with immigration.

00:23:51.000 Immigration, economics, and we'll get into more social issues.

00:23:55.000 I think half-Asian Bill is uncomfortable that he got killed in the intro. 0.79

00:23:59.000 He's still dead.

00:23:59.000 I just really can't wrap my mind around that a group that has always championed diversity is going to be choosing between two white males.

00:24:10.000 Maybe. 0.99

00:24:11.000 But one of them is gay. 0.98

00:24:12.000 Sort of. 0.93

00:24:13.000 That's why I think it'll be Pete Buttigieg, because they have to have a first something.

00:24:16.000 Kamala Harris, first black woman.

00:24:17.000 Elizabeth Warren, first woman.

00:24:19.000 Bernie Sanders, I mean, you know, I don't know.

00:24:22.000 First President of the United States of America.

00:24:24.000 Depends.

00:24:24.000 No idea.

00:24:24.000 But Pete Buttigieg, they go, look, first president.

00:24:28.000 First president.

00:24:29.000 And actually, because we've had a female president. 1.00

00:24:30.000 He's the first president.

00:24:32.000 I mean, who likes Wiener?

00:24:34.000 That we know of.

00:24:35.000 That we know of, you're right.

00:24:37.000 At that point, you're just saying, like, great, Bernie will be the first necklace president, you know? 0.87

00:24:41.000 The shoulders are always right.

00:24:43.000 I mean, you can just set the standards so low.

00:24:46.000 He has no neck.

00:24:47.000 No, neck-less.

00:24:48.000 Oh, neck-less! 0.91

00:24:49.000 He has no neck. 0.99

00:24:50.000 I was thinking he went on a cruise and came back with those shitty puka shells and beads in his hair. 0.99

00:24:55.000 No, he just had the little braids. 0.98

00:25:00.000 Thank you, Carnival!

00:25:06.000 Sanders! 0.79

00:25:06.000 It leaves from Jersey and goes up the St. 0.79

00:25:09.000 Lawrence Canal!

00:25:11.000 I saw Beluga!

00:25:15.000 Buttkeg says... I don't think there are belugas in the St. 1.00

00:25:18.000 Lawrence River, by the way.

00:25:19.000 I'm from Montreal.

00:25:19.000 I should know this.

00:25:20.000 That we know of.

00:25:21.000 That's three Pinocchios.

00:25:22.000 Canals and rivers are not my... I know a lot about ravines.

00:25:26.000 You do?

00:25:26.000 If you have a question about ravines, I'm your man.

00:25:28.000 When it comes to the canals, I'm out to lunch.

00:25:31.000 So Buttkeg, when we talk about immigration, I think the first clip we have is on immigration, right?

00:25:37.000 Yeah, he says that there are 11 million illegals in the United States, and there are some arguments as to that number, exactly.

00:25:42.000 But let's use the number that he uses.

00:25:43.000 And he says that there are 11 million illegals in the United States, though, because the economy brought them here. 1.00

00:25:49.000 And then he also clarifies that, or extrapolates, that the mission of ICE is illegal.

00:25:55.000 The reason we have 11 million undocumented immigrants is because our economy needed 11 million more people than our system was prepared to admit. 0.85

00:26:05.000 So another thing we've got to do when we do that reform is set it up so that in the future you can review every

00:26:12.000 couple years how many work-based visas we need to keep our economy going.

00:26:15.000 When our immigration authorities are given an inhumane and in my view in many ways illegal set of policies to carry

00:26:24.000 out.

00:26:24.000 Okay let's clarify what ICE's purpose is okay.

00:26:27.000 It is to protect America from the cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security and public safety. 1.00

00:26:33.000 So no, Pete, it's not illegal.

00:26:36.000 They're quite literally enforcing the most basic duty of the United States government in ensuring the safety of our borders from people who could potentially break the law and can't be tracked.

00:26:46.000 And the reason that ICE is necessary, and I know that there are a lot of people at the Young Turks and Samantha Bee who say it's a criminal enterprise, you know, they want you to think that it's the Corleones, they're saying, There should be no ICE.

00:26:55.000 It's criminal.

00:26:55.000 We already have a police force.

00:26:56.000 But the reason ICE exists is because there are still illegal immigrants.

00:27:00.000 There used to be in record numbers.

00:27:01.000 Now it's been decreasing.

00:27:01.000 Thank you, Donald Trump.

00:27:02.000 Make America great.

00:27:03.000 I appreciate it.

00:27:04.000 I was wrong.

00:27:04.000 Didn't think you would win.

00:27:05.000 2020 is going to be a landslide.

00:27:06.000 Please come on the show.

00:27:07.000 My point is...

00:27:09.000 That was a lot.

00:27:10.000 My point here is there is a reason that they exist, that they are necessary, and it's because the job wasn't being done.

00:27:16.000 And we'll get to it.

00:27:17.000 There are some more reasons as to why that is, Pete Buttgig.

00:27:20.000 Take a guess.

00:27:21.000 It involves you.

00:27:22.000 First, hit the notification bell if you're watching this on YouTube, or leave a review if you're listening on iTunes.

00:27:27.000 And do consider joining Mug Club, livewithcreditor.com slash Mug Club.

00:27:30.000 You get an entire show every day and access to the whole Blaze catalog, along with some additional content from Gerald and Bill and Dave Rubin.

00:27:37.000 Ooh.

00:27:38.000 You know what?

00:27:38.000 I respect Dave Rubin because he doesn't side with Pete Buttigieg.

00:27:41.000 It'd be very easy to have a conclave of the gays. 1.00

00:27:46.000 Well, yes. 0.99

00:27:47.000 And they'd be sending out pink smoke.

00:27:51.000 Is it a coven?

00:27:52.000 That's awesome.

00:27:55.000 We'll get back to immigration, but let's move on to health care because a lot of people say, well, he's moderate because he's not a radical.

00:27:59.000 Here's the thing.

00:28:00.000 When you're comparing Pete Buttigieg to a radical socialist who spent his honeymoon in the USSR, he spent his honeymoon in the Zangief level. 0.98

00:28:11.000 True story.

00:28:12.000 And loved it!

00:28:13.000 I just want to make clear.

00:28:15.000 Yeah, you might see him as a moderate, but I think it's important to compare him to all past Democrats, including Barack Obama.

00:28:20.000 Barack Obama couldn't even see Pete Buttigieg to his left.

00:28:23.000 He's so far to the left of Barack Obama.

00:28:25.000 So let's keep that in context.

00:28:26.000 Let's go to health care.

00:28:27.000 He's seen as a moderate because he wants Medicare for all who want it.

00:28:31.000 That's his plan.

00:28:32.000 That's what he calls it.

00:28:34.000 And that's a government-sponsored plan to people who want it, while letting others keep their private insurance, as opposed to simply Medicare for all, no other option.

00:28:41.000 Yeah.

00:28:42.000 Like Bernie Sanders.

00:28:43.000 So this is really, to be clear, people don't necessarily understand.

00:28:46.000 They say, well, this seems more moderate than Bernie Sanders.

00:28:48.000 OK, sure.

00:28:48.000 It's a public option, just like Obamacare, but to a far more extreme degree.

00:28:52.000 Let me explain.

00:28:53.000 If you don't enroll in the insurance plan, The Medicare for All, for those who want it, according to Pete Buttigieg, instead of just being fined $695, I think that's what it was, right, under Obamacare?

00:29:02.000 Yeah, under Obamacare, yeah.

00:29:03.000 $600, $700, I don't remember exactly.

00:29:05.000 Instead of that, you'll be automatically registered, if you don't have insurance, in the government program, and you could retroactively owe as much as $7,000 in premiums at the end of the year, even though you never used the insurance.

00:29:18.000 Oh my gosh.

00:29:18.000 So it's like, for all who want it, and if you don't want it, what are you gonna pay $7,000 anyway?

00:29:23.000 Well, I thought you said, if I want it.

00:29:24.000 Yeah, but then I realized, Oops. 1.00

00:29:27.000 F*** you! 1.00

00:29:28.000 Oh, thank you, Pete ButtGig! 1.00

00:29:29.000 Now I understand the plan.

00:29:32.000 And their campaign is so out of touch with reality that their staffers basically said, well, it's not like you didn't have health insurance the entire year.

00:29:38.000 You're just paying for something that you had that you didn't pay for before.

00:29:41.000 Somebody's going to be happy about doing that?

00:29:44.000 But I didn't want it.

00:29:45.000 It doesn't matter.

00:29:45.000 I don't understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.

00:29:47.000 I never used it.

00:29:48.000 Well, you could have.

00:29:49.000 But I didn't want to.

00:29:50.000 Well, you know, I guess we're at an impasse.

00:29:52.000 No, we're not!

00:29:53.000 That's not how this works!

00:29:55.000 No.

00:29:55.000 You are stealing from me.

00:29:56.000 You say tomato.

00:29:58.000 I say $7,000 premium.

00:30:01.000 And it doesn't end there, by the way, because we go back to the illegal immigration.

00:30:05.000 So you talk about this, it's Medicare for all who want it, which really isn't an option.

00:30:09.000 He wants to extend the government-funded insurance to everyone, including illegal immigrants.

00:30:15.000 Here you go.

00:30:16.000 And for people listening in audio, I'll help translate.

00:30:19.000 He's talking about health care to everyone in the country, to allegedly an illegal immigrant.

00:30:29.000 She's saying, como dice, free s**t. Medicare for all who want it, Pete Buttigieg says, that is our solution.

00:30:45.000 And this opportunity to buy this plan is for everyone.

00:30:53.000 Regardless of their immigration status.

00:30:55.000 What?

00:30:57.000 Say what? 1.00

00:30:57.000 Come on DC, free shit? 1.00

00:31:00.000 C. At least his Spanish is better than Cory Booker. 1.00

00:31:03.000 That image is what I was thinking about when I was watching that.

00:31:07.000 It's better than Beto O'Rourke.

00:31:09.000 Oh my gosh.

00:31:09.000 But not as good as Andrew Yang's Cantonese.

00:31:11.000 Is it Cantonese?

00:31:12.000 I have no idea.

00:31:13.000 Don't care.

00:31:13.000 He's gone.

00:31:15.000 He's merely a footnote.

00:31:16.000 That's right.

00:31:18.000 In the history books of the Asians. 0.97

00:31:19.000 I don't even know what I'm talking about.

00:31:24.000 I love it.

00:31:25.000 Sometimes I just feel like Andrew Yang just wanted to build a wall to block out all the

00:31:28.000 other candidates.

00:31:29.000 They just say, when you're not doing well, you revert to what you know.

00:31:31.000 I think he wanted to party for a few months and have it funded by other people.

00:31:34.000 Mission accomplished.

00:31:35.000 Yeah, pretty much.

00:31:36.000 I mean, great.

00:31:37.000 But think about this for a second.

00:31:38.000 Think about that.

00:31:40.000 You want to create basically mandated.

00:31:43.000 They say it's an option, but you have taxpayer-funded healthcare.

00:31:46.000 And then, you want to extend it to people who are not even citizens.

00:31:49.000 And by the way, do you see now the problem with abolishing an organization like ICE, who are designed to prevent illegal immigration, while you are simultaneously incentivizing it?

00:31:59.000 And you are incentivizing it, by the way.

00:32:00.000 Let's be honest, Pete Buttigieg, you've never done anything successfully yourself in your own life.

00:32:04.000 You are incentivizing it by footing the bill at the American taxpayer's expense.

00:32:09.000 Yes.

00:32:09.000 They don't care about the American worker.

00:32:10.000 People wonder why you've seen all these states that have flipped over.

00:32:14.000 I don't think I've ever been more wrong about anything in my life when I said there's no way Donald Trump wins Michigan.

00:32:19.000 There's no way because it was such a working class kind of union state and the unions were bought and paid for by obviously Democrats and then Hillary Clinton just screwed it up. 1.00

00:32:28.000 She did everything possible to lose them.

00:32:30.000 It is remarkable to me.

00:32:31.000 But these people don't feel represented by you.

00:32:33.000 Why?

00:32:33.000 Because, according to Bernie Sanders, mind you, anyone making over $29,000 a year would have to pay more for this government-funded health insurance program, and so the American taxpayer will be subsidizing illegal immigrants, according to their own words.

00:32:48.000 It doesn't mean that the American taxpayer, the average American worker, is racist.

00:32:52.000 It doesn't mean that they hate brown people.

00:32:54.000 It means that they don't want to be forced into a health care system, which they don't want to be a part of.

00:32:58.000 A lot of them like their private insurance.

00:33:00.000 And they certainly don't want to be forced to pay for people who have no business being here in the first place, many of whom don't pay any taxes.

00:33:07.000 And the ones with face tattoos are animals.

00:33:09.000 Not all of them.

00:33:10.000 I want to be clear. 0.98

00:33:10.000 I don't want you to say that, like Donald Trump, I'm calling all Mexicans animals. 0.98

00:33:13.000 No. 0.98

00:33:13.000 No, no, no, no. 0.98

00:33:13.000 Just the ones with the face tattoos who do gang initiations where they steal Gran Torinos. 0.98

00:33:19.000 It's very specific.

00:33:20.000 Those were my cousins.

00:33:23.000 So let's move on to guns.

00:33:29.000 This is another one and this is a really hard issue for the left because you have a lot of people.

00:33:32.000 Look at Bernie Sanders.

00:33:34.000 He's from Vermont.

00:33:35.000 It's as liberal as it gets.

00:33:36.000 It's the place of Ben and Jerry for crying out loud.

00:33:39.000 And you don't even need a permit at all to carry a gun, open or concealed.

00:33:43.000 They have the most liberal gun laws in the country.

00:33:45.000 There are plenty of Democrats who are still pro Second Amendment.

00:33:48.000 This is a real problem for the Democratic Party.

00:33:51.000 Pete Buttigieg, he signed off on all of the Democrats' most radical gun control proposals.

00:33:58.000 And I want you to watch this clip because it's very telling in his own words as to why he is so pro-gun control and sweeping, constricting gun control legislation.

00:34:10.000 Closing the hate loophole, the Charleston loophole, the Boyd-Randolph loophole, disarming domestic offenders, enacting red flag laws, extreme risk protection orders, banning the sale of assault weapons like what I carried in Afghanistan.

00:34:23.000 We know what we have to do.

00:34:25.000 The question is, how do we make sure that this time really is different?

00:34:28.000 Because every time we say this time is different.

00:34:32.000 And all of the plans, of course, I think my plan is the best.

00:34:36.000 So does everybody else.

00:34:37.000 Of course.

00:34:37.000 All of them are multiplied by zero if we don't actually get something done.

00:34:41.000 And so this is not just a question about policy.

00:34:44.000 This is a question about power.

00:34:45.000 There it is.

00:34:46.000 It's a question about power.

00:34:48.000 That's what it is.

00:34:48.000 It's not about policy.

00:34:50.000 It's a question about power.

00:34:52.000 Because what would be more empowering to a bloated bureaucratic federal government than removing your ability to say no at some point down the line?

00:35:00.000 That's really what the Second Amendment is.

00:35:01.000 People don't understand.

00:35:01.000 They talk about a war.

00:35:03.000 It's not about a civil war, and of course I'm not advocating any kind of civil unrest right now.

00:35:07.000 But what the Second Amendment is truly about, right?

00:35:09.000 You have the First Amendment, you have the right to say whatever you want.

00:35:12.000 The Second Amendment allows you the right to defend saying, no.

00:35:15.000 Well, you're going to have to do this.

00:35:17.000 No.

00:35:17.000 You're going to have to pay for health care for illegal immigrants.

00:35:20.000 No.

00:35:21.000 That's what the Second Amendment is about.

00:35:22.000 Or, you're going to have to be enslaved.

00:35:24.000 Take your pick.

00:35:25.000 Name any corrupt government throughout the history of man.

00:35:26.000 We act like we're somehow beyond this.

00:35:28.000 We act like we're somehow beyond this.

00:35:30.000 Slavery goes on across the world.

00:35:32.000 You have people across the modern Western world who are jailed for jokes.

00:35:37.000 The Second Amendment allows you to say, hey, we're going to take you to prison because you made a joke.

00:35:42.000 That's the express purpose of the Second Amendment.

00:35:44.000 That's why they talk about it being about power.

00:35:47.000 Something else that I think is important here, the hate loophole.

00:35:49.000 Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

00:35:51.000 Actually, before that, he said, like weapons I took into war.

00:35:54.000 He was in the military.

00:35:55.000 Can you point me to any soldier who's gone into battle with an AR-15 ever?

00:36:00.000 Ever.

00:36:01.000 You're a shooter there, Half-Asian Builder. 1.00

00:36:02.000 Do they carry AR-15s?

00:36:03.000 No, they're carrying M16s.

00:36:05.000 Maybe they're carrying an M4.

00:36:07.000 Maybe they're carrying an M60.

00:36:09.000 But they're all carrying automatic or burst, which are outside of the action.

00:36:13.000 Exactly.

00:36:13.000 And that's pretty important, because they try to say, well, the AR-15, it's the same chassis as an M16, only it doesn't have the automatic or burst.

00:36:23.000 That's the whole point!

00:36:25.000 One's a gun where you pull a trigger and a bullet comes out like all guns, the other is a machine gun, effectively.

00:36:31.000 I have two Walther PPQs, okay?

00:36:33.000 One of them fires 9mm, one of them fires .40 Smith & Wesson.

00:36:36.000 I have three, sorry.

00:36:37.000 Then one fires .22 for plinking in practice.

00:36:40.000 It's not the same firearm.

00:36:42.000 Just because it looks the same, that is the least relevant piece of information as it relates to a firearm.

00:36:49.000 So, Kent, I want people to think about this particular point.

00:36:52.000 Yes, I want them to think.

00:36:53.000 There's always this question of saying, well, isn't more today, we're having more mass murders, we're having more problems with these guns, but before the automatic weapons ban was passed, before the assault weapons ban was passed, before we got into a society that cared less about conservative principles and more about cultural and moral relativism, They all agree there was less mass murders, less mass shootings back then.

00:37:16.000 So, wait, we have more laws, we have more restrictions, so is the difference not the amount of guns that we have or the amount of people with guns?

00:37:23.000 It's the question of who's behind the gun and who's actually pulling the trigger, and that's never addressed in that entire list that he gave you about how do we prevent these kinds of crimes.

00:37:32.000 And I understand that's more of a philosophical exercise, because the truth is, they're lying, there is an increased number.

00:37:36.000 Well, even if you assume that it's true, it falls apart when you get past the surface of it.

00:37:42.000 Right.

00:37:42.000 No, you're absolutely right.

00:37:43.000 And the other thing, and I want you to come in on this, the hate loophole.

00:37:46.000 Hold on a second.

00:37:47.000 These people do this a lot because, like he said, they're in positions of power, right?

00:37:50.000 And they want you in the dark as much as possible.

00:37:52.000 That's not a conspiracy.

00:37:53.000 When he says, hate loophole, this is the first I've heard of it.

00:37:57.000 This is what I do for a living!

00:38:00.000 You don't know her?

00:38:00.000 Really?

00:38:01.000 I don't know about that.

00:38:02.000 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

00:38:03.000 It's amazing.

00:38:04.000 Really?

00:38:04.000 It's the one that says if you have a race card or a gender card, you can use that to say everyone else hates you.

00:38:10.000 Oh! 0.60

00:38:11.000 That's why you don't know about it, Whitey. 1.00

00:38:14.000 Whitey, pass, go. 1.00

00:38:15.000 You're not in the group.

00:38:16.000 I've used it.

00:38:17.000 I'm allowed to tell people to hate you because of your race and your religion because of the way I look.

00:38:22.000 That's textbook usage.

00:38:22.000 You're 50% white.

00:38:23.000 It was excellent.

00:38:23.000 It was great.

00:38:24.000 He's not 50% white.

00:38:25.000 What'd you, 23andMe him?

00:38:27.000 You have no idea.

00:38:28.000 I did.

00:38:28.000 How dare you, Gerald, question his race?

00:38:30.000 It's in his name!

00:38:33.000 Democrats have been trying to pass these bills, the hate loophole, when I looked into it a little more, that would make it illegal to own or purchase a firearm if you've been convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime.

00:38:43.000 So that's important because right now if you're convicted of a violent crime or an actual felony, obviously you cannot purchase a firearm.

00:38:48.000 We already have those laws.

00:38:49.000 What is a misdemeanor hate crime?

00:38:52.000 What would you have to do to get charged with it, okay?

00:38:54.000 So here's a specific example in looking it up.

00:38:56.000 There were these students at a University of Connecticut, okay?

00:38:59.000 They were goofing off, and by the way, not condoning these actions, so let's be clear.

00:39:02.000 They were yelling increasingly offensive words back and forth.

00:39:02.000 Of course.

00:39:05.000 It was like, you remember the penis game when you were a kid? 0.99

00:39:07.000 Yes. 1.00

00:39:07.000 You say, you say penis. 1.00

00:39:08.000 Penis. 1.00

00:39:09.000 Penis. 1.00

00:39:10.000 Ha. 1.00

00:39:10.000 Penis. 1.00

00:39:13.000 Penis! 1.00

00:39:14.000 It's not really a challenge because I'm a host, and so no one here is going to blame me. 0.98

00:39:17.000 But that was a game we used to play.

00:39:18.000 I know women are saying, well, what did you used to play? 1.00

00:39:19.000 We're very stupid. 1.00

00:39:20.000 We played the circle game, where someone looks in a circle. 1.00

00:39:23.000 For some reason, I'm allowed to hit him.

00:39:25.000 Yes. 0.92

00:39:25.000 Right. 0.92

00:39:26.000 Everybody agrees to the rules.

00:39:27.000 Unless you get your finger through the hole.

00:39:28.000 Or I'm in the clan, apparently.

00:39:29.000 Apparently, yeah.

00:39:30.000 One of those two.

00:39:31.000 And then we used to play the penis game as a kid, which is where you would have to say penis increasingly louder in a public space to see who would be more readily charged with a sex crime. 0.99

00:39:40.000 That was effectively the game. 0.99

00:39:42.000 At stake was your permanent record.

00:39:46.000 So the kids were doing this, but they were doing a variation.

00:39:48.000 From what I understand, offensive words back and forth.

00:39:50.000 Some other students filmed them saying the N-word.

00:39:53.000 Again, not saying you should yell the N-word, of course not.

00:39:55.000 They were charged with a misdemeanor hate crime.

00:39:58.000 So just saying a slur, not even at anyone, and you could lose your Second Amendment rights,

00:40:04.000 your God-given right to protect your house and home.

00:40:06.000 Imagine that. 0.99

00:40:07.000 When you're a kid, and by the way, penis could also, the penis game, comment below 0.99

00:40:11.000 if you've ever played the penis game. 0.99

00:40:12.000 I'm not saying this to try and be shocking. 0.95

00:40:13.000 It was a very common game in high school.

00:40:15.000 Let me know if you've played it because now that could be a hate crime if you say

00:40:18.000 it around someone who's gender fluid and they could be really upset.

00:40:21.000 And then 20 years down the line, oh, there's a robber at your house and you don't have 0.97

00:40:24.000 your 357 next to your bedside because you mentioned male genitalia across the bathroom 0.97

00:40:29.000 from someone who had male genitalia but claimed they were a woman. 0.98

00:40:32.000 Thanks, Pete Buttigieg! 0.91

00:40:33.000 I appreciate it!

00:40:34.000 Exactly.

00:40:34.000 And we could all be found guilty of that crime just by singing our favorite rap song.

00:40:38.000 We've gone through this with all those different words.

00:40:39.000 Like, just saying the word itself is what you're saying is wrong here.

00:40:42.000 By the way, we've said this so many times.

00:40:44.000 There is no such thing as hate speech.

00:40:46.000 There is no such thing as a hate crime.

00:40:47.000 I don't tend to commit crime in a loving manner. 0.97

00:40:50.000 The penalty shouldn't be different because I thought about you differently in my head when I killed you. 1.00

00:40:54.000 The end result is that you're dead. 0.94

00:40:55.000 And I do recommend you look up the hate loophole and see the cases that they actually make.

00:41:00.000 It is startling that they believe people people on the left believe that folks should lose their second amendment

00:41:04.000 rights Yeah, and one of the interesting things we're going through

00:41:06.000 that story notice how it was unstated what the skin color was of the people

00:41:11.000 It was it was because think about it if if the skin color had been anything

00:41:15.000 other than white or or most certainly had been african-american or black it

00:41:20.000 It would have been no story. 0.68

00:41:22.000 There would have been no story.

00:41:23.000 It would have been simply, oh, that's certainly OK.

00:41:25.000 So again, it's not just the words that they're being said.

00:41:28.000 It's who's saying them and the outer characteristics of them.

00:41:30.000 Again, judging by skin color and not by content.

00:41:33.000 So it's not the words themselves.

00:41:34.000 It's who's saying the words.

00:41:35.000 I think a lot of people don't know this.

00:41:37.000 It's like, oh, we need background checks.

00:41:39.000 OK, this is why we used to do the hashtag gift a gun.

00:41:41.000 We should bring it back.

00:41:42.000 Anyone who's ever purchased a firearm legally knows you get a background check.

00:41:45.000 Yeah, every time.

00:41:46.000 That's what happens.

00:41:47.000 I just watched some film.

00:41:48.000 I don't remember what it was.

00:41:49.000 Oh, it's that show Messiah.

00:41:51.000 Terrible show, by the way, on Netflix.

00:41:52.000 And the guy goes in to buy a gun.

00:41:54.000 And he just goes, yes, I would like to buy a gun.

00:41:56.000 And he gives him a fake ID where it clearly doesn't look like him.

00:41:57.000 And the guy goes, fine to me.

00:41:59.000 And he just hands him a bunch of ammo and a gun.

00:42:01.000 That's not what happens.

00:42:03.000 You're usually there for a half hour.

00:42:04.000 You have to check a bunch of boxes.

00:42:06.000 For some reason, you have to check Caucasian as well as not Latino, which is weird to me.

00:42:10.000 Yeah, what is that?

00:42:10.000 I don't get that one.

00:42:12.000 It's very weird to me.

00:42:13.000 I thought the first check did the both, you know.

00:42:15.000 But they just want to make sure you're really not Latino.

00:42:18.000 Okay, fine.

00:42:20.000 Like you're not like Latino, like Elizabeth Warren is Native American.

00:42:22.000 Why is this on the questionnaire?

00:42:24.000 I just wanted to buy a Walter.

00:42:27.000 There's actually a place where you can put how much percentage Native American you are, and it goes to nine digits.

00:42:34.000 It has to.

00:42:35.000 It's like pie.

00:42:36.000 Decimal point and then a lot of... That's Darren Aronofsky's next film.

00:42:39.000 It's a sequel.

00:42:40.000 Climate change.

00:42:40.000 Let's go to climate change.

00:42:41.000 Pete Buttgig, this is so funny to me, he supported AOC's Green New Deal.

00:42:45.000 We're gonna get the wiki now.

00:42:46.000 Which I don't even know how... You can go back and watch that video where I read the entire Green New Deal on camera.

00:42:51.000 It's six pages.

00:42:53.000 If you bought a used car, your car fax is longer than the Green New Deal.

00:42:58.000 Not a lot of substance.

00:42:58.000 And not only that, but Pete Buttigig went as far to, while we're talking about the moderate, claim that climate change was a big cause of the Syrian war, and that if you eat hamburgers or straws, you are part of the problem.

00:43:12.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:43:13.000 And migration crises are increasing because of things like droughts and fires that are accelerated by the problems in our climate.

00:43:22.000 There's some evidence that this contributed Is there some evidence, Pete?

00:43:27.000 I think we think about it mostly through the perspective of guilt.

00:43:30.000 You know, from using a straw to eating a burger, am I part of the problem?

00:43:34.000 Oh, really?

00:43:35.000 Well, Pete, problem!

00:43:37.000 Because I think some folks are missing.

00:43:38.000 Oh, wow.

00:43:38.000 That's every one of the things.

00:43:40.000 Is his mouth ever closed? 1.00

00:43:45.000 Look, I think this is so stupid. 1.00

00:43:46.000 What, did Assad get hot? 1.00

00:43:47.000 And he was like, oh, it's terribly hot over here.

00:43:49.000 And he just started killing people.

00:43:50.000 No, he didn't.

00:43:51.000 He also forgets one very important thing.

00:43:53.000 Jobs don't always equal peace.

00:43:54.000 In some cultures, they do.

00:43:56.000 But these guys hate us.

00:43:57.000 Yeah.

00:43:58.000 ISIS is fighting them.

00:44:00.000 They're always going to be fighting.

00:44:01.000 It's not because of the weather.

00:44:02.000 Yeah.

00:44:03.000 Okay.

00:44:03.000 He thinks that we now have ISIS and people are being burned alive in cages because the 1.2 change Fahrenheit exacerbated Soleimani's male menopause.

00:44:12.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:44:13.000 Kill all the Jews! 1.00

00:44:14.000 I know, not Soleimani. 1.00

00:44:16.000 We get it.

00:44:16.000 That's the thing I learned.

00:44:17.000 I didn't realize that the Middle East was apparently not a desert before.

00:44:20.000 Oh, yeah.

00:44:20.000 They're not used to heat.

00:44:21.000 Then America caused the Middle East to become a desert because of our huge impact on the environment, and that's what created ISIS. 0.93

00:44:30.000 Well, if we did it Greta's way, effectively, Syria would be fern gully. 0.99

00:44:35.000 They'd be growing kale and shit. 0.99

00:44:37.000 It'd be great. 0.99

00:44:37.000 Yeah, they would. 0.99

00:44:39.000 Should I feel shame?

00:44:39.000 Nothing has ever grown here!

00:44:43.000 Aside from terrorism!

00:44:46.000 That's in abundance.

00:44:48.000 Collard greens are not a cultural staple for you, for good reason.

00:44:55.000 How dare you?

00:44:56.000 We dare.

00:44:57.000 We dare, sweetheart.

00:44:58.000 Okay, let's go to abortion. 1.00

00:44:59.000 This is another one.

00:45:00.000 Again, the moderate candidate, Pete Buttigieg.

00:45:02.000 Let me know what you think.

00:45:03.000 Buttigieg made waves for saying that there's no place, by the way, for pro-life Democrats in the party.

00:45:08.000 So that's what people know, and they thought, well, that's kind of maybe off-color.

00:45:11.000 They think maybe it's a one-off.

00:45:12.000 No, it's not.

00:45:13.000 Because he also refuses to place any limit on abortion at all, including infanticide.

00:45:18.000 And this isn't a radical position in the Democratic Party.

00:45:20.000 We'll talk about that with Alan Dershowitz a little bit, America's favorite lawyer, after this.

00:45:23.000 Because someone that must be conflicted if they consider themselves pro-abortion, pro-choice, but they think there are limits, there is no place for you in the Democratic Party.

00:45:31.000 It's actually far more moderate because nearly every major Republican considers there to be exceptions for rape or incest.

00:45:39.000 Not a single candidate outside of Tulsi Gabbard would name a point where you should stop the abortion.

00:45:39.000 Democrats?

00:45:39.000 None.

00:45:44.000 So, before watching...

00:45:47.000 A clip that I'm about to show you.

00:45:48.000 Remember, even the pro-choice group, the Guttmacher Institute, they say that most late-term abortions, this is important, are not because of birth defects or because of health of the mother.

00:45:56.000 So when Butkey goes on to say in this clip, like, oh, late-term abortions mean there's some kind of terrible health problem, according to his own sources, he's flat-out lying.

00:46:05.000 Now you see the clip.

00:46:06.000 From pro-life people like me, was that you met a baby actually being born.

00:46:11.000 There's a lot of controversy with Governor Northam and what it means and what time a woman should be able to have an abortion.

00:46:17.000 I just wanted you to clarify because I found that statement to be pretty radical.

00:46:21.000 Well, I'm just pointing to the fact that different people will interpret their own moral lights and for that matter interpret scripture differently.

00:46:29.000 Partial birth abortion is something that was coming up in, like I said, Governor Northam.

00:46:33.000 It was a huge controversy when he was running for governor.

00:46:35.000 And I think people and Democrats, and there are a lot of pro-life Democrats in the country, want to know exactly where your line is.

00:46:41.000 Because you will be the president if you win.

00:46:42.000 Right, but my point is that it shouldn't be up to a government official to draw the line.

00:46:47.000 It should be up to the woman who's confronted with the truth. 0.79

00:46:50.000 And both things aside, after a baby was born, you'd be comfortable with that.

00:46:52.000 But does anybody seriously think that's what these cases are about?

00:46:55.000 I think that there are people pushing for that, yes.

00:46:56.000 Think about the situation.

00:46:57.000 If this is a late-term situation, then by definition, it's one where a woman was expecting to carry the pregnancy to term.

00:47:04.000 Then she gets the most perhaps devastating news of her life.

00:47:08.000 We're talking about families that may have Picked out a name, maybe assembling a crib, and they learn something excruciating, and are faced with this terrible choice.

00:47:18.000 And I don't know what to tell them, morally, about what they should do.

00:47:24.000 She's trying to give him rope to pull in his lifeboat.

00:47:27.000 It's like, here you go, here's rope, here's a life string, and he's like... And he's strangling himself with it.

00:47:32.000 Yes, exactly.

00:47:33.000 And she's just sitting there like, hey, what do you think?

00:47:34.000 What do you think?

00:47:35.000 anything right away.

00:47:38.000 What do you think of that?

00:47:40.000 Stop.

00:47:41.000 Stop it.

00:47:43.000 As if the cackling weren't enough.

00:47:45.000 Now I got to deal with your mic pops. 1.00

00:47:46.000 It's just it's just it's like they're out stupid in each other. 0.99

00:47:50.000 So this is completely untrue. 0.97

00:47:53.000 It's not only untrue by the source, but let me give you a thought exercise here, okay?

00:47:58.000 We know that from the Guttmacher Institute, that's not the case for the vast majority of late-term abortions. 0.91

00:48:01.000 There's almost no time where a late-term abortion is medically necessary. 0.59

00:48:04.000 Period.

00:48:05.000 Ever.

00:48:06.000 But do you really buy that?

00:48:07.000 Do you really buy that for a second?

00:48:09.000 This is a gross disservice to women who have miscarriages, or women who want to have children, there are birth complications.

00:48:15.000 Because if a woman actually had the room painted, had a crib up, and she's had a housewarming party, a baby shower, and they've done a whole gender reveal, which I guess is also hate speech now, maybe you won't be able to buy an AR-15 after that, I have no idea, according to Pete Buttigieg.

00:48:26.000 But do you really think that this mom is the kind of mom who is going to abort that baby at eight or nine months? 0.50

00:48:32.000 If there is a .05% chance of that baby living, that mother of course is going to go through

00:48:39.000 with the birth because to them, going through the process of birth is a small price to pay.

00:48:43.000 I'm not saying it's a small price to pay, but to them, even for the possibility that

00:48:47.000 this baby, this human being could be brought into the world.

00:48:50.000 Do you really even believe he's trying to pay a hypothetical scenario to tug on your

00:48:55.000 Let's use it.

00:48:56.000 A mom paints the walls blue. 0.94

00:48:58.000 It's going to be a boy.

00:48:59.000 The mom's been taking prenatal vitamins.

00:49:01.000 The mom is not a Planned Parenthood activist.

00:49:03.000 The mom actually wants to have this baby. 1.00

00:49:04.000 The mom's gone and had ultrasounds.

00:49:05.000 The mom has already named the baby.

00:49:07.000 And the doctor says the baby's doing well.

00:49:09.000 And all of a sudden, there's a complication where this baby may or may not make it, like a Tim Tebow, at eight months or nine months.

00:49:14.000 And you think that mom goes, oh, well, get the forceps. 0.75

00:49:18.000 No.

00:49:18.000 Really?

00:49:19.000 Really?

00:49:20.000 It's just amazing to me the dishonesty and the fact that he wouldn't just take the layup and say, well, of course I'm against infanticide.

00:49:26.000 Yeah.

00:49:27.000 That's the easy one, right?

00:49:28.000 Of course you can say that.

00:49:29.000 And he said moral at the end of it.

00:49:30.000 Morally, I don't know what to tell them.

00:49:32.000 How about not killing a child?

00:49:34.000 Is there any clear moral line that we can draw?

00:49:38.000 Fine, if we have disagreements down the line on week 20, week 25, week 30, can we just say that at the very end when doctors say it's almost never medically necessary to have an abortion, can we just say that that's the moral line?

00:49:48.000 And we have to be really clear.

00:49:49.000 Some people go, what if it's dead and it's a stillbirth?

00:49:51.000 That's not what we're talking about.

00:49:53.000 We are talking about a baby at 7, 8, 9 months.

00:49:56.000 There is no debate at this point when people say, well, it's a nuanced issue.

00:49:59.000 It's not nuanced at all that this baby could live outside of the womb, right?

00:50:03.000 Babies are born all the time.

00:50:04.000 I think it was either me or my brother was born premature.

00:50:06.000 One of us was aching to get out.

00:50:08.000 One of us couldn't be pulled out.

00:50:09.000 I don't remember which one was which.

00:50:10.000 I was talking to my mother.

00:50:11.000 It's warm in here.

00:50:12.000 Stop.

00:50:13.000 I'm going to bed.

00:50:14.000 I was born early because I was kicking.

00:50:15.000 I'm like, I gotta get out of here.

00:50:16.000 Right.

00:50:17.000 But the point is, I don't even remember what the point was.

00:50:18.000 The point is no.

00:50:19.000 The point is no.

00:50:20.000 Don't kill your child.

00:50:21.000 We are talking about a seven, eight month old baby that is still alive, but there is a

00:50:24.000 strong chance that this baby doesn't make it.

00:50:26.000 And so you make a decision to stop the heart.

00:50:29.000 We are talking about a scenario where there's a beating heart, there's a live baby, and because there's a chance it may not make it, a doctor and a woman are stopping the heart of that seven, eight-month-old baby.

00:50:40.000 And the statistics, the research, according to ButtGig's own sources show us it is never medically necessary.

00:50:47.000 That is unequivocally, it's not nuanced, that is murder.

00:50:50.000 That is murder, and I believe that a doctor who willingly does that should be charged with murder.

00:50:55.000 Yeah.

00:50:55.000 And if you happen to be in Virginia, if you make that decision and the baby comes out, we have tape of them saying, this is what you should be allowed to do.

00:51:02.000 You should make a decision whether you're going to let this baby live or die.

00:51:04.000 Yeah.

00:51:05.000 That is remarkable.

00:51:06.000 That's not taking it out of context.

00:51:07.000 That's the full context.

00:51:08.000 No, it's literally what he's saying.

00:51:09.000 All right, we do have to get going.

00:51:10.000 Anything to add there, Bill?

00:51:11.000 Yeah, so definitely Pete is a moderate.

00:51:15.000 I wasn't sure.

00:51:17.000 I was on the fence, but now I'm convinced. 1.00

00:51:19.000 He's so fucked. 0.99

00:51:19.000 When people say moderate, okay, if you compare him to Bernie Sanders, again, the guy who honeymooned in the USSR, the guy who said a 90% tax rate is okay, alright, I understand it. 0.99

00:51:28.000 But remember they used to say Barack Obama was sort of leading us towards socialism?

00:51:31.000 Pete Buttigieg is so far to the left of Barack.

00:51:34.000 He's well beyond the passing lane.

00:51:35.000 He's just past the median in a ditch, okay?

00:51:38.000 Pete Buttigieg is to the left of Barack Obama.

00:51:40.000 He would be the furthest left president that we've ever had in the history of this country.

00:51:45.000 But unfortunately, because we are comparing him now to radical leftist socialists, the guy who supports infanticide, the guy who wants mandated government health care, the guy who wants to take away semi-automatic weapons, even if you happen to have used a naughty word at some point, is seen as a moderate candidate.

00:52:01.000 Pete Buttigieg, that Sniveling, little mouth always open at the fair, Worm is being presented as a moderate candidate.

00:52:09.000 Did somebody say the Worm?

00:52:10.000 Oh, oh my gosh.

00:52:12.000 Come on, dude.

00:52:12.000 He's back.

00:52:13.000 He's so relatable.

00:52:15.000 Oh.

00:52:16.000 Okay.

00:52:18.000 Wow.

00:52:18.000 Alright, Alan Dershowitz after this.

00:52:20.000 Can someone shoot him? 0.99

00:52:21.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:52:21.000 Hello. 0.99

00:52:30.000 Hey.

00:52:31.000 Do you guys have Black Rifle copy?

00:52:34.000 Uhhh... Hey, I was just... Not that **** again.

00:52:40.000 Not today.

00:52:41.000 Is that... No, I heard you.

00:52:46.000 So?

00:52:49.000 It's got an acidity that's nice, but it's subtle.

00:52:52.000 I wouldn't say quite citrus, but...

00:52:54.000 Saskatoonberry.

00:53:03.000 So is that it?

00:53:04.000 That's a no.

00:53:06.000 It's a no.

00:53:07.000 I've heard of the coffee, but I choose not to support a brand that takes part in the military-industrial complex and the needless wars overseas that support an inherently patriarchal system that you're probably a fan of, even though you're some pencil-necked chicken hawk who's never fought a day in his life, but your uncle at Thanksgiving told you, rah-rah, America, this is how we do things.

00:53:30.000 Do I have that about right, Todd?

00:54:19.000 I mean, ma'am.

00:54:20.000 I mean, dear.

00:54:21.000 Tim just walked out.

00:54:22.000 And there was Tim's face.

00:54:24.000 It's better to have love and lust than never to have love and lust.

00:54:32.000 Tim just walked out, and there was Tim's face, and then Brian stepped in his face.

00:54:36.000 This is bizarre.

00:54:39.000 He closed the door and was like... I'm fasting.

00:54:44.000 You f***ed me up. 1.00

00:54:44.000 You did it. 1.00

00:54:45.000 I'm Draco!

00:54:47.000 Come and eat!

00:55:02.000 I don't know what they're saying in that song at all.

00:55:10.000 Me neither.

00:55:11.000 I have no idea.

00:55:12.000 And I also don't understand, I still don't understand the beanie. 0.98

00:55:12.000 I don't get it. 0.98

00:55:15.000 But we've already been over that!

00:55:17.000 Alright, our next guest, no stranger to controversy.

00:55:20.000 I feel like, especially with a lot of people who might watch the show who are younger, who aren't necessarily as involved in the political process, they know the name But they don't know everything, that he's sort of played a role in a huge part of American history.

00:55:33.000 He is, of course, a lawyer, a former Harvard Law professor.

00:55:36.000 He has a new book out.

00:55:37.000 I want to make sure I get this right.

00:55:38.000 Guilt by Association, which provides a pretty in-depth analysis of some of the accusations brought against him by these alleged Jeffrey Epstein sort of victims.

00:55:47.000 One of them is Virginia.

00:55:48.000 I don't know how to pronounce her.

00:55:49.000 Virginia Roberts.

00:55:50.000 It sounds like a cheese that I would mispronounce.

00:55:54.000 But he was also, of course, a part of President Donald Trump's defense team amid the impeachment saga.

00:56:01.000 You can follow him on the Twitter at Alan Dershowitz.

00:56:04.000 Spoiler alert.

00:56:05.000 Mr. Alan Dershowitz, how are you, sir?

00:56:07.000 Well, thank you, but it's guilt by accusation.

00:56:10.000 Did I get that wrong again?

00:56:11.000 I keep saying association.

00:56:12.000 All right.

00:56:13.000 And you can get it for $1.95 on Kindle.

00:56:16.000 And it's really worth reading because the accusation against me by a woman I never met could happen to you, could happen to your brother, your sister, your child.

00:56:24.000 So you should read guilt by accusation.

00:56:26.000 I do get accused quite a bit by women I've never met, but they're not as grave. 1.00

00:56:30.000 It's just, you're a prick. 0.98

00:56:32.000 And I say, well, you know, the evidence, we have to weigh it. 0.96

00:56:36.000 But before we get to that, so it is guilt by accusation, $1.99.

00:56:39.000 That's right.

00:56:40.000 Did you do the audio book?

00:56:42.000 Oh, there you go.

00:56:42.000 I did.

00:56:43.000 That's a lot.

00:56:44.000 I did the audio book, and the Kindle is there, so you can read it or hear it in any format you want.

00:56:50.000 How long does it take you to do an audio book like that?

00:56:52.000 Because it's not a short read.

00:56:54.000 It's a day.

00:56:55.000 Usually a day, starting at nine and going until about five.

00:56:58.000 I read pretty quickly.

00:56:59.000 I don't make that many mistakes, so it goes pretty fast.

00:57:03.000 But, you know, my phone rings, and I have to take pauses, and clients on death row, clients who are up for long prison terms, they have a right to call me at any time, so I don't turn off my phone.

00:57:14.000 Hey, quick question.

00:57:15.000 This is just totally, when you get your phone and it rings, do you ever answer, is it ever Gloria Allred?

00:57:19.000 Because I imagine that would be a fight for the ages.

00:57:22.000 Well, Low Glory and I are friends.

00:57:24.000 I like her, I admire her.

00:57:26.000 I think she does a great job when she represents people who are justly accusing other people.

00:57:34.000 And she basically told me that she didn't believe the accusation against me, so I think she is one of the people who really can distinguish True accusations from false accusations.

00:57:45.000 Many feminists have been on my side because they see false accusers really hurting the movement terribly. 1.00

00:57:52.000 And that's what happened with my accuser.

00:57:53.000 She was put up to it by her lawyers.

00:57:55.000 They saw a real pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

00:57:58.000 And now I'm suing the lawyers and suing her.

00:58:01.000 And I want to see her in prison because she filed false affidavits knowing there were false affidavits. 1.00

00:58:07.000 And people who make false accusations against people they never met should go to prison.

00:58:12.000 People who make false accusations that are matters of degree, well, I don't think people I want to circle back to that.

00:58:18.000 So, Gloria Allred, fair to say in your favorites, in your five favorites on the iPhone.

00:58:22.000 who deliberately and willfully sit down and say, I'm going to accuse somebody I never met

00:58:26.000 because I can make a lot of money.

00:58:27.000 People like that ought to go to jail. 1.00

00:58:29.000 Wow. And I want to circle back to that.

00:58:31.000 So, Gloria Allred, fair to say in your favorites, in your five favorites on the iPhone.

00:58:35.000 We get it. But let me ask you, controversial figure, obviously you've been a lifelong liberal Democrat

00:58:39.000 from what you've said on shows.

00:58:41.000 I want to make sure that people are clear on that because some people confuse your defense of Trump as you being a lifelong Republican.

00:58:47.000 So as a lifelong Democrat, you decided you opted to help defend President Trump here.

00:58:53.000 Why?

00:58:53.000 For people who may not necessarily know, but it is very compelling for people to hear.

00:58:58.000 For the same reason that I helped defend President Bill Clinton.

00:59:02.000 I testified in his behalf.

00:59:03.000 I consulted with his legal team.

00:59:05.000 I wrote a book about it.

00:59:07.000 I wrote op-eds about it.

00:59:08.000 I don't believe impeachment should be used for partisan purposes.

00:59:13.000 I also defended the rights of Richard Nixon.

00:59:15.000 Even though I supported his impeachment, I thought he was being treated unfairly by some prosecutors, and so I jumped in to defend his rights, too.

00:59:24.000 For me, I always defend the Constitution.

00:59:26.000 If Hillary Clinton had been elected president and she were impeached on grounds of abuse of power, I would have been there defending her as well. 0.98

00:59:34.000 So as I said in my speech in front of the Senate, I'm here on behalf of a principal.

00:59:38.000 I'm here because I love my country, I love the Constitution, and I don't want to see the Constitution turned into a partisan weapon And I think there are some misconceptions here.

00:59:46.000 I think the key one that we often hear is, you're talking about a trial with no witness when they talk about the impeachment saga.

00:59:51.000 Most people have no idea what went on in the House, right?

00:59:53.000 and removed from office.

00:59:54.000 And I think there are some misconceptions here.

00:59:56.000 I think the key one that we often hear is this.

00:59:59.000 You're talking about a trial with no witness when they talk about the impeachment saga.

01:00:02.000 Most people have no idea what went on in the House, right?

01:00:06.000 How many witnesses do we have when we talk about the House?

01:00:08.000 Was it 17 or was it 19?

01:00:10.000 Was it 17 or 18, including Schiff?

01:00:12.000 I've also heard 19, but a lot of people think no witnesses ever at any point, and that's just flat-out wrong.

01:00:17.000 It's flat-out wrong, number one.

01:00:18.000 Number two, there shouldn't have been any witnesses in the Senate for a very obvious reason.

01:00:22.000 There was no impeachable crime charge.

01:00:25.000 Let me give you an example.

01:00:26.000 Let's assume you were accused of miscegenation, having sex with a woman of the opposite race. 0.96

01:00:34.000 Which of course is a crime in many states.

01:00:36.000 You'd go into court immediately and say, hey, it's unconstitutional.

01:00:42.000 And they would say, but witnesses, we need witnesses.

01:00:44.000 No, no, you don't get witnesses if you charge somebody with an unconstitutional crime.

01:00:49.000 You don't get to call witnesses if you charge a president With unimpeachable, non-impeachable offenses.

01:00:56.000 You have to first reach the threshold.

01:00:58.000 Is it an impeachable offense?

01:00:59.000 If we can prove it, then if you can prove it, you get to call witnesses.

01:01:03.000 But even if you proved it, it wouldn't be an impeachable offense.

01:01:06.000 Obviously, abuse of power is not an impeachable offense.

01:01:09.000 Obstruction of Congress is not an impeachable offense.

01:01:11.000 You don't get to call witnesses.

01:01:12.000 What would constitute an impeachable offense?

01:01:15.000 What would constitute an impeachable offense?

01:01:17.000 Because a lot of other people on the other side, well, I don't want to say other side because, again, you're a lifelong Democrat, have argued that these were impeachable offenses.

01:01:23.000 I absolutely don't think they are.

01:01:24.000 But what would you say passes that threshold?

01:01:27.000 Richard Nixon, very clearly.

01:01:29.000 Richard Nixon trying to get elected president, thought it was in the public interest to have himself elected president, obstructed justice, bribed witnesses, paid hush money, destroyed evidence.

01:01:38.000 All of those things were crimes, high crimes.

01:01:41.000 Perfect case for impeachment, the only case for impeachment in American history.

01:01:44.000 Andrew Johnson shouldn't have been impeached, Bill Clinton shouldn't have been impeached, and Donald Trump shouldn't have been impeached.

01:01:49.000 But Richard Nixon should have been impeached.

01:01:52.000 Anybody who commits a high crime or a misdemeanor, anybody who commits treason or bribery should be impeached.

01:01:58.000 But we haven't had cases like that in our history.

01:02:00.000 But the framers rejected broad, open-ended criteria like abuse of power.

01:02:06.000 40 of our presidents have been accused of abusing their power by political opponents.

01:02:10.000 Do we want to make every president subject to impeachment if the House is under the control of the opposite party?

01:02:15.000 That's what I was fighting against.

01:02:17.000 Right.

01:02:17.000 And what would constitute, I guess, you said high crimes, misdemeanors, would perjury constitute?

01:02:21.000 Because I know we've talked about Bill Clinton.

01:02:24.000 So that's why... But it has to be... That was a low crime, not a high crime.

01:02:27.000 It was perjury about private life, not perjury about something that involved governance.

01:02:33.000 Had he committed perjury involving governance, that would be an impeachable offense or extortion or a wide variety of crimes.

01:02:42.000 But give me an example of mystery.

01:02:44.000 Alexander Hamilton, when he was Secretary of Treasury and therefore subject to impeachment, had an affair with a woman.

01:02:50.000 He was married and she was married.

01:02:52.000 Those were both felonies under existing law with serious punishments.

01:02:56.000 But he wasn't impeached.

01:02:58.000 And then he was extorted.

01:03:01.000 And then the extortionist said, I'm going to say that you paid money to me out of Treasury funds.

01:03:05.000 Had he paid the money out of Treasury funds, That would have been a high crime, but he didn't.

01:03:10.000 So he wasn't impeached, and he was one of the people who wrote about impeachment during the framing generation.

01:03:15.000 Yeah, I do think it is important for people to look at the founding documents, look at the framers at what they considered to be impeachable and what they specifically excluded.

01:03:15.000 Right.

01:03:22.000 A lot of people don't necessarily brush up on that.

01:03:24.000 You go on, there were a lot of conversations.

01:03:26.000 There was a lot of back and forth.

01:03:27.000 They said, OK, this, yes, is acceptable.

01:03:29.000 That is not.

01:03:30.000 And I think we fell right under the latter category.

01:03:33.000 And that's what the Democrats failed to understand.

01:03:36.000 The framers excluded maladministration, which was one of the criteria for impeachment under English law, because Madison, the father of the Constitution, said that would be too open-ended.

01:03:36.000 Right.

01:03:47.000 It would turn us into a British parliamentary democracy.

01:03:49.000 Where the president serves at the pleasure of the legislature.

01:03:53.000 So you rejected that.

01:03:54.000 And he rejected that.

01:03:55.000 He also rejected implicitly abuse of power, obstruction of Congress, malpractice, all the vague, open-ended criteria that framers did not want to govern impeachment under the Constitution.

01:04:09.000 That's the argument I made on the floor of the Senate.

01:04:11.000 Many senators agreed with me.

01:04:13.000 And then, of course, the Democrats and CNN went on a rampage and claimed that I said I don't believe this.

01:04:21.000 can commit any crime he wants as long as he wants to be uh... arrested you know it wants to be elected

01:04:27.000 it was as if i said the following this is a good example it's as if i said the following

01:04:31.000 i don't believe this this is false

01:04:35.000 i don't believe a president can commit any crime in order to get elected

01:04:39.000 and then cnn excluded the first part and just said

01:04:43.000 a president can do anything he wants including miscommunicate

01:04:47.000 Do you think that was deliberate?

01:04:48.000 This is my question.

01:04:49.000 This is a very different context here, because you appear on CNN quite a bit, and they would consider themselves friendly to you for a long time.

01:04:55.000 Conservatives didn't consider you...

01:04:57.000 Okay, so is it awkward for you?

01:04:59.000 Like, with Stelter and Cuomo?

01:05:01.000 Can you still, like, ring them up?

01:05:03.000 Or are you persona non grata?

01:05:04.000 Because you used to hang out there a little bit.

01:05:06.000 I am pretty much persona non grata since I started defending the rights of the president.

01:05:10.000 But, you know, I have accused them deliberately and willfully of doctoring my interview.

01:05:16.000 What do I mean by doctoring?

01:05:18.000 Well, they edited it, but they edited it in a way to suggest the opposite of what I said. I said if the

01:05:24.000 president commits any crime, he can be impeached. They took that out and they said, I said, if a

01:05:30.000 president commits any crime, he can't be impeached. That's not just editing, that's

01:05:34.000 doctoring. And that's what CNN did and MSNBC did it and some of the other networks did it. And

01:05:41.000 then the members of Congress of the managers quoted CNN and MSNBC and made me say things that

01:05:48.000 were exactly the opposite of what Exactly the opposite.

01:05:51.000 And they are so good at doctoring.

01:05:52.000 I blame Sanjay Gupta.

01:05:54.000 When you have a guy on staff and that's all he does, that's what he's looking to do.

01:05:57.000 That's his job.

01:05:58.000 I want to move back to the Epstein case and to this Virginia.

01:06:03.000 How do I pronounce her last name, by the way?

01:06:05.000 Goofray.

01:06:06.000 Goofray.

01:06:06.000 Virginia Roberts.

01:06:07.000 That's what I'm going to go with.

01:06:10.000 I don't think we're so concerned about the name there.

01:06:14.000 Before I move on to that, though, you did write an article, an op-ed, sorry, in The Hill, I believe, where you talked about some of your friends at Martha's Vineyard that they've demanded, now, do I have this right, trigger warnings, so they can be assured to know that they won't encounter you or your ideas?

01:06:28.000 Is this in the entirety of Martha's Vineyard?

01:06:32.000 No, but we had a group on Martha's Vineyard, probably 30 couples that we used to socialize with.

01:06:38.000 Many of them now refuse to have anything to do with me.

01:06:41.000 One of them just wrote me an incredibly self-righteous letter saying, I can no longer be in your society.

01:06:48.000 How do you know the hand flutters?

01:06:50.000 I can see it because I know the guy.

01:06:54.000 Right. 0.69

01:06:54.000 The most boring guy on the face of the earth. 0.69

01:06:57.000 What a blessing for him to say to me, I don't want to be in your society.

01:07:01.000 I had to be polite to him.

01:07:02.000 For years, because my wife and his wife got along and they were friends.

01:07:06.000 But the guy was so boring when I got the letter saying he didn't want to be in my society.

01:07:11.000 Anyway, I jumped up and down and cheered.

01:07:14.000 But many people on Martha's Vineyard have refused to be associated with us.

01:07:19.000 And they want to know where I'm going to be.

01:07:21.000 So they say, We had a friend who had a daughter or son having a wedding.

01:07:27.000 A wedding party.

01:07:28.000 And we were, of course, close friends, but so was another couple.

01:07:31.000 And the other couple said, no, you have to make a choice.

01:07:33.000 If you invite Alan and his wife to the wedding, we're not going to... So you're a real-life Larry David, where you just put the MAGA hat on the seat next to you so that people wouldn't bother you.

01:07:42.000 He got the idea from me!

01:07:46.000 Larry got the idea for me.

01:07:47.000 The only difference is I don't have to wear the MAGA hat.

01:07:50.000 I will show up, and people walk and leave the restaurant.

01:07:54.000 All you have to do is defend the most controversial president in modern American history.

01:07:58.000 It's a trade-off.

01:07:59.000 I would go for the beanie, as Quarterback Garrett here would.

01:08:02.000 Final question, and then we're going to go to a web extended here after a quick break.

01:08:07.000 Did you get that same kind of backlash when you defended people like O.J.

01:08:10.000 Simpson, Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Mike Tyson?

01:08:14.000 No, nothing like it.

01:08:15.000 In those instances, people said, we don't like what you're doing.

01:08:19.000 With Trump, they say, we don't like who you are.

01:08:21.000 We don't like who you are.

01:08:24.000 And it was very personal.

01:08:26.000 In the other cases, well, we wish you didn't do it, but we still like you.

01:08:30.000 But we don't like you now, and we don't like who you are and what you've become.

01:08:36.000 What have I become?

01:08:36.000 I've been a civil libertarian all my life.

01:08:38.000 I've never deviated from my principles.

01:08:40.000 I would be doing the same thing.

01:08:41.000 If Hillary had been elected president, I would be a very happy man today.

01:08:45.000 A, because I supported her.

01:08:47.000 Part of me believes that.

01:08:48.000 Part of me believes that you're saying that publicly because you don't want to get whacked.

01:08:53.000 I'd be the hero of Martha's Vineyard making exactly the same arguments I'm making today. 0.96

01:08:58.000 What hypocrisy.

01:08:59.000 Part of me believes that, part of me believes that you're saying that publicly because you 0.92

01:09:02.000 don't want to get whacked, but I understand it.

01:09:05.000 I appreciate it.

01:09:06.000 Stay safe out there.

01:09:07.000 We're going to come back after this to the WebEx Center.

01:09:09.000 The book is, of course, Guilt by Accusation, not Association.

01:10:18.000 , I can't swim.

01:10:48.000 That's called when I was three years old and I jumped off the high dive and I forgot that I had arm floaties on, and it's very painful.

01:10:55.000 Because you don't shoot up back to the surface like you normally would, you shoot up shoulders first.

01:11:00.000 So you go... Very uncomfortable.

01:11:02.000 It's rough.

01:11:03.000 Yep.

01:11:04.000 And I almost drowned with one of those floaty belts because it tips you over, it doesn't tip you back.

01:11:08.000 Alan Dershowitz, people who have experienced this close call with death.

01:11:14.000 From their floaty belt at Seaway Pool in St.

01:11:17.000 Lambert.

01:11:18.000 Know what it is of which I speak.

01:11:20.000 Everyone else, sorry.

01:11:23.000 Alan Dershowitz, there's a long extended interview available on Mug Club where we talk more about Epstein and the sexers, all that stuff.

01:11:29.000 So, next week some big shows coming your way as well.

01:11:32.000 I think we have Rudy Giuliani on the show next Thursday.

01:11:38.000 You sound like you don't want to be here.

01:11:40.000 You're like this kid who's cynical about everything in college so he just insults things by saying something that sounds like it's not an insult but is meant as an insult and everyone's like, oh he must be smart.

01:11:53.000 Prestigious.

01:11:54.000 Like, funny.

01:11:55.000 Custodian.

01:11:56.000 Not funny?

01:11:57.000 Yes, custodian.

01:11:58.000 Well, that's not so much an adjective.

01:12:02.000 That's just a noun.

01:12:04.000 What do you have a problem with custodians?

01:12:04.000 Custodian.

01:12:06.000 They are the backbone of society.

01:12:08.000 Them and teachers.

01:12:12.000 I'm going to talk about something.

01:12:13.000 We were just talking about hate loopholes earlier today with the gun laws.

01:12:16.000 And I do encourage all of you, look up hate loophole.

01:12:20.000 And I want you to read the leftist sources and how they believe it should be closed and what they believe should constitute a hate crime misdemeanor.

01:12:27.000 Don't read conservative sources.

01:12:29.000 Just read the case, the actual cases themselves.

01:12:31.000 You can find them.

01:12:33.000 It's alarming.

01:12:34.000 And that sort of combined with I was just re-watching Silicon Valley recently, if anyone out there watches, I think it's one of the best comedies in the last decade.

01:12:42.000 It's a bit of a memory trigger.

01:12:44.000 I realized, for the same reason I hate these hate loopholes that they discuss, is what I hate so much about The left in comedy today.

01:12:51.000 We can say entertainment and culture at large, but let's kind of use comedy as a jumping off point.

01:12:56.000 In Silicon Valley, there's this character, Russ Hanneman.

01:12:59.000 Hilarious.

01:13:00.000 One of the funniest characters that I can think of in a modern sitcom.

01:13:03.000 He was making a joke about how his Russian mail order bride had some ideas regarding Jews.

01:13:07.000 He said something like, she has some ideas regarding Jews.

01:13:10.000 Some good.

01:13:12.000 Some bad.

01:13:13.000 That was the joke.

01:13:14.000 Now I'm sitting there laughing, and it's based on, you know, contextually,

01:13:17.000 it's tough for me to repeat it right now, but it's basically a joke about anti-Semitism, right?

01:13:23.000 And obviously they have Jewish people who work on the show, right?

01:13:26.000 They have Jewish people backing the show, producing the show, and they're comfortable

01:13:29.000 creating that kind of comedy.

01:13:30.000 So the joke itself is anti-Semitic-ish, but it's a joke about someone being blatantly anti-Semitic.

01:13:37.000 And I think that context is really important, because the reason that they're comfortable

01:13:43.000 creating these Jewish producers and actors is for the same reason that people were comfortable

01:13:46.000 with Don Rickles making jokes about everybody, regardless of race or ethnicity or gender,

01:13:52.000 or really, I mean, if you think about it, some of them didn't even make sense.

01:13:56.000 Muhammad Ali is here. 0.97

01:13:59.000 Look, gets punched in the face. 0.87

01:14:00.000 Huh?

01:14:00.000 He goes, huh?

01:14:01.000 He goes, huh?

01:14:02.000 What?

01:14:03.000 What?

01:14:05.000 He says what?

01:14:06.000 But people are like, well, you know, it's Don Rickles.

01:14:08.000 It's Don.

01:14:09.000 But it's the same, it's for the same reason that we weren't offended by Don Rickles back in the day. 0.98

01:14:14.000 It's for the same reason that friends, for example, especially guy friends out there, we were talking about this earlier, the penis game. 0.99

01:14:19.000 Friends make fun of other guys' moms. 0.99

01:14:21.000 You know that quarter black. 0.99

01:14:22.000 It's a common thing.

01:14:23.000 It's because you know that people don't really mean it.

01:14:26.000 You know that the people in Silicon Valley are not actually anti-Semitic.

01:14:30.000 You know that Don Rickles, when he's roasting Muhammad Ali, hates blacks about as much as he hates alcoholics when he's roasting Dean Martin, which is to say, not at all.

01:14:38.000 When you make fun of someone's mother, for women who don't understand this because we say the most filthy, depraved things you can say about someone's mother, that's what guys do, You may not understand, there are two mothers. 1.00

01:14:47.000 Guys, you can back me up on this if your wife is listening, if you're listening in the car, lest they make you shut it off forevermore, okay?

01:14:52.000 There are two mothers, we all know this, right?

01:14:55.000 There's the real mother, who's a lovely lady, who you have respect for and you treat politely when you see her, and then there's the imaginary mother, to whom you do unspeakable things on principle.

01:15:05.000 Just because you want to get under your friend's skin.

01:15:08.000 The reason that you can make those jokes, and I say this deliberately, is because it's a safe place because you know intent.

01:15:17.000 There's nothing more unfun than a guy makes a mom joke and someone else makes a mom joke and they're like, Because we're doing that, you know I don't actually want to hurt your feelings and insult your mother.

01:15:28.000 Again, the intent behind Silicon Valley is not to spread anti-Semitism.

01:15:32.000 Okay?

01:15:33.000 It's not to do any of those things.

01:15:35.000 It's just to try and interact with people.

01:15:38.000 And sometimes we interact with people in a way that might be offensive to some.

01:15:41.000 But the point is, it was fine back in the day.

01:15:45.000 And it was fine when you watch Silicon Valley in certain contexts.

01:15:47.000 People are free and open to explore.

01:15:49.000 They should be the creative space that is comedy.

01:15:52.000 And something that's really important, the reason we often do this and sometimes comedy goes too far is because unlike a lot of arts, I shouldn't say unlike a lot of arts, but I think sometimes people give a pass.

01:16:01.000 To music, or they give a pass to, I don't know, it could be poets, I have no idea.

01:16:05.000 But a lot of times, for some reason, people think, oh, a comedian all of a sudden means it.

01:16:08.000 Because there's no backup band, there's no bass, there's no drummer, it's just a guy talking into a microphone.

01:16:08.000 Why?

01:16:13.000 And so you assume that this must be 100% true or authentic.

01:16:16.000 And I think that's why comedy is a real lightning rod now.

01:16:18.000 Why people care about politically correct culture in comedy.

01:16:21.000 Let me tell you this, they don't give a free pass to comedy, but sometimes it's just as similar to artists I'm trying to say art.

01:16:28.000 Comedians are artists, but any other art. 0.98

01:16:30.000 You know, painting, doodling, whatever the hell it is.

01:16:31.000 I don't know what the term artist means anymore.

01:16:33.000 Are you self-important? 1.00

01:16:33.000 Are you a dick? 1.00

01:16:34.000 You're an artist. 1.00

01:16:35.000 We get it.

01:16:36.000 But all comedy, to some degree, all of it, almost without exception, comes from pain.

01:16:42.000 Every single bit, think about this, every joke or bit that you've heard, I want you to go through this thought experiment right now and find the pain.

01:16:51.000 In the jokes.

01:16:51.000 Louis C.K., obviously.

01:16:53.000 If you go to Bill Burr, obviously.

01:16:54.000 These are obvious ones.

01:16:55.000 If you go to Jerry Seinfeld, the pain comes from observing things in the mundane that irritate him.

01:16:59.000 The same reason Curb Your Enthusiasm is so funny to so many people.

01:17:02.000 Larry David gets upset at the smallest things and that causes him some degree of pain.

01:17:07.000 Let's go back to the most basic joke there is.

01:17:09.000 What's the first joke that almost everybody hears when they're a kid or tells?

01:17:13.000 Why did the chicken cross the road?

01:17:17.000 Why did the chicken cross the road?

01:17:18.000 I don't know.

01:17:19.000 To get to the other side.

01:17:21.000 The pain is you! 1.00

01:17:23.000 The pain is to get to the other side, stupid! 1.00

01:17:25.000 You're the idiot! 1.00

01:17:26.000 It is at your expense! 1.00

01:17:28.000 Comedy always comes at the expense of someone or something, some idea.

01:17:33.000 There's some kind of sting.

01:17:35.000 There's a kernel of ouch!

01:17:39.000 And what the left wants to do is make that impossible.

01:17:42.000 We're talking about this thing as it relates to guns, right?

01:17:45.000 Hate loopholes.

01:17:46.000 And we've seen people, my friend Mike Ward in Canada, lost before a human rights tribunal for making a joke about a make-a-wish kid in Canada who didn't die and he's been fined for violating human rights in making a joke about the kid not dying.

01:18:01.000 That's what hate speech laws lead to. 0.97

01:18:03.000 The left wants to make, and I know I'm speaking broadly, there are some exceptions, got it,

01:18:09.000 just none of them are running for the Democratic presidential nomination. All of them support

01:18:13.000 these kinds of laws. Or of course, every mainstream leftist channel, take Samantha Bee, 1.00

01:18:16.000 take Trevor Noah, take Young Turks, they all support some kind of hate speech laws.

01:18:19.000 The point is they want to make a culture, an atmosphere where we can be creative and we can

01:18:23.000 laugh again impossible. When not only do they accuse everybody of racism, but they also don't

01:18:31.000 don't have any proof of racism.

01:18:33.000 And even in the case where there are people who are very clearly, very vehemently anti-racist, as you see on this show, or as you see with other programs, whether it's... Take your pick.

01:18:42.000 They're always in the doghouse.

01:18:43.000 Dave Chappelle was in the doghouse at one point.

01:18:46.000 They want to accuse everyone of being racist, everyone of being homophobic, and they want you to believe that somehow comedy, what it's always been, is a secret racist dog whistle.

01:18:56.000 They want you to believe that there's racism around every corner.

01:18:59.000 Why?

01:18:59.000 Because it removes that safety of us giving the benefit of the doubt to most people so that we can enjoy our interactions and not be offended.

01:19:09.000 In other words, at one point in this country, like we're talking about with Don Rickles or whoever, I'm just using it as an example.

01:19:15.000 At one point in this country, the baseline, right?

01:19:18.000 It was not that everyone was a racist or that everyone was a homophobe.

01:19:21.000 At one point, the baseline was that most people telling a joke, particularly in a setting like comedy club or at a roast, were not doing it out of hate.

01:19:30.000 The baseline was we presumed that these are jokes.

01:19:34.000 We presumed we started off, the jumping off point, these are likely generally decent people who aren't hateful.

01:19:40.000 And now that's been turned into racism around every corner. 0.94

01:19:44.000 Everyone is a racist, or a sexist, or a homophobe. 0.99

01:19:47.000 And now it's, well, hold on a second, what if the guy's gay? 1.00

01:19:49.000 What if the guy's black? 1.00

01:19:50.000 Well, okay, now you're a transphobe. 0.99

01:19:52.000 Now you're a gender fluid phobe. 0.99

01:19:53.000 Now you're a phantom paraplegic phobe. 0.84

01:19:55.000 It just, the list keeps getting on.

01:19:57.000 Everyone needs to check their privilege in some way.

01:19:59.000 And by the way, that guy on stage at a comedy club is telling a joke regarding race.

01:20:04.000 Therefore, he must be a Nazi. 0.86

01:20:06.000 That is the jumping off point now.

01:20:09.000 Right?

01:20:10.000 You know, there's a lot more racism than you think.

01:20:12.000 That's what people want you to think right now.

01:20:13.000 There's more racism than you think.

01:20:14.000 Racism, there's a lot.

01:20:15.000 We've just been ignorant to it.

01:20:17.000 You need to be more aware.

01:20:18.000 You guys need to stop it.

01:20:19.000 That comedian means it.

01:20:22.000 That guy making a joke with his friends, that guy making a joke about your mother means it. 1.00

01:20:27.000 He's a rapist. 1.00

01:20:28.000 No! 1.00

01:20:30.000 And that's what happens.

01:20:31.000 We remove the safety, ironically, when we talk about safe spaces.

01:20:35.000 We remove the safety in trying to create all of these safe spaces for people who are offended by everything.

01:20:41.000 We've removed the benefit of the doubt from not only performers and public figures, but now as you see with hate loopholes, speech loopholes, and laws that are proposed and supported by current Democratic nominees, we've removed the benefit of the doubt from not only performers, but everyone in our day-to-day lives.

01:20:58.000 And that's how you have leftist liberals, progressives at the dinner table, with your family, who get offended, and sometimes there's a disconnect, you're like, I don't even know, why are they offended?

01:21:08.000 Sometimes you're not going, I know we push buttons on this show, but how many times have you recently had an interaction where someone has offended you?

01:21:13.000 I don't even know why!

01:21:17.000 There's nothing offensive about what I just said!

01:21:19.000 And that happens to everyone listening out there.

01:21:22.000 Pretty much everyone if you're not currently running for the President of the United States on the platform of the Democratic Party.

01:21:28.000 This, you know, an example, you might have an interaction where someone might be offended.

01:21:32.000 And again, what I'm talking about is a benign day-to-day interaction, not something where you're telling a joke, where, you know, you might be dancing on the line.

01:21:37.000 But how often does this happen, right?

01:21:39.000 You have an interaction you couldn't even compute as remotely offensive, wouldn't even enter into your mental equation, and it sets somebody off.

01:21:45.000 Why is there that disconnect?

01:21:47.000 This is really what, and I've been trying to examine why it bothers me so much.

01:21:50.000 This is because most of us are still living, most decent people, are still living in a world where we give the general benefit of the doubt to people if they make a joke, if they express an opinion, even something that we disagree with.

01:22:06.000 Right?

01:22:06.000 We might just say as a conservative, well hold on a second, what did you mean when you said that right there?

01:22:11.000 And of course the left, today, when you look at these proposed laws and you look at the cancel culture, and I think it's sort of simplified but it really is an important point, they want to remove any benefit of the doubt, which is ironic to me.

01:22:23.000 Because I think that we all believe as conservatives, and I talked about this with Dennis Prager, that human beings are flawed, selfish, sinful in nature, whereas the left wants us to believe that all people in centralized governments are inherently morally altruistic.

01:22:35.000 If everyone is inherently morally good, that's the only way socialism can work.

01:22:39.000 The only way socialism can work is if Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders, anyone who actually grabs those reins, is inherently good and not prone to the human condition of being selfish and sinful.

01:22:49.000 If people are not all inherently morally good, you never trust this much of your life to a few central figureheads in the government.

01:22:56.000 So, the left looks at the world through a lens of everyone is basically good, but we don't.

01:23:02.000 Then they also want to create an atmosphere of, there's also racism, sexism, homophobia around every corner.

01:23:09.000 And that's how you know that it's a political tool.

01:23:12.000 You're bothered by it.

01:23:13.000 I'm bothered by it.

01:23:14.000 Why?

01:23:14.000 It's a political tool, and a lot of us aren't able to put our finger on it.

01:23:18.000 That's how you know it's being used to selectively silence voices.

01:23:22.000 And what I'm concerned about here is not just that, not what leftists want you to say, because none of us really care, but the culture of self-censorship that I see emerging.

01:23:29.000 I'm not talking about the First Amendment.

01:23:31.000 I'm talking about something that everyone out there needs to be aware of and you can control.

01:23:35.000 A culture of self-censorship is more concerning than just the First Amendment.

01:23:39.000 A lot of what we run into, okay, they're not, they're really not First Amendment issues.

01:23:43.000 But it's really a bully pulpit culture.

01:23:45.000 People use this term cancel culture.

01:23:46.000 It's not.

01:23:47.000 It's a bully culture.

01:23:48.000 And it's designed to create a country where everyone says, ah, I want to make this joke, but I can't say that.

01:23:53.000 Or, you know, you know what?

01:23:55.000 I actually have an opinion when it comes to affirmative action, but I can't.

01:23:59.000 I can't see it.

01:24:00.000 And you cover your mouth.

01:24:01.000 And you stay quiet.

01:24:02.000 Here's what I want you to do this week.

01:24:03.000 It's not so much an exercise for self-improvement.

01:24:05.000 This is an exercise for societal improvement.

01:24:08.000 I want everyone out there to walk forward like soldiers.

01:24:11.000 And I know this will probably get me banned.

01:24:12.000 Not violent soldiers.

01:24:13.000 Let's be clear.

01:24:14.000 Hilda Dyon was just allegorical.

01:24:17.000 Here's what I want you to do.

01:24:21.000 No more covering of your mouth. 0.96

01:24:23.000 Now, granted, exception, if you're an actual racist, if you're an actual sexist, and by that I mean if you believe that people are inferior exclusively because of their race or because of their sex and you want some kind of a white ethnostate or any ethnostate, you should probably cover your mouth a little bit more, okay? 0.98

01:24:36.000 I'm not talking to you. 0.98

01:24:37.000 Shut this off.

01:24:38.000 I don't want you listening.

01:24:39.000 But to everyone else, I want you this week to choose to no longer cover your mouth, to choose to stop walking on eggshells.

01:24:47.000 Now, don't choose to offend, but if you have something that you want to say and you're worried about people, Reacting, I want you to check your intent.

01:24:57.000 And if your intent is not malicious, say it.

01:25:00.000 Say what you are going to say.

01:25:01.000 Regardless of who it offends, I want you to say it.

01:25:04.000 I don't want this.

01:25:05.000 I want speaking.

01:25:07.000 And if someone is offended, follow up.

01:25:09.000 Ask them why and start a conversation.

01:25:11.000 The point is, I think you will find this to be the case, those people are fewer and further between than the media wants you to believe.

01:25:20.000 So everyone else out there, if you know your intent, you know who you are, you know what you mean, I don't want you to cover your mouth.

01:25:25.000 Stop with the self-censorship.

01:25:28.000 That's not what we do here.

01:25:29.000 That's not what we should do.

01:25:30.000 That's not how progress is made.

01:25:32.000 Progress is not made by getting all of the masses to self-censor and a few people in positions of power have the right to tell you what is and what is not okay to say.

01:25:43.000 It doesn't go anywhere good.

01:25:45.000 So if it seems trivial, if it seems like a menial task, no.

01:25:48.000 It starts with you controlling what you can.

01:25:51.000 And what can you control?

01:25:52.000 Check your heart.

01:25:53.000 Check your motive.

01:25:54.000 Check your intent.

01:25:55.000 And if you know that it's true, stop self-censoring. 0.99

01:25:59.000 Stop being a coward. 0.91

01:26:00.000 And you know what? 0.92

01:26:01.000 You might find yourself going through life with a bunch of other people who aren't self-censoring, and you realize, hey, this isn't half bad.

01:26:07.000 It's just a few people who are running from the Democratic nominee and their complicit media pricks.

01:26:12.000 Alright, I'll see you next week.

01:26:13.000 Hopefully it helps.

01:26:14.000 Do the exercise.

01:26:15.000 No covering the mouth.
