Mitt Romney votes to convict, and Joe Biden's long journey to nowhere continues. President Trump is acquitted in the Senate, and it turns out, the entire impeachment debacle was a giant waste of time. Ben Shapiro explains why, and why it doesn t really matter anymore. The more shots you take at the president, the more they bounce off of him, and the more damage they do to him, the better off he becomes. And that's good news for the Democrats, because now they don't have to take so many shots at him. Ben Shapiro: Impeachment is over, and so is this whole thing, and that's a good thing for President Trump, because he's not going to take any more shots at the President of the United States, no matter what happens today.

00:00:25.000It turns out that entire impeachment debacle was a giant waste of time.
00:00:28.000We spent an enormous amount of time and energy covering something that amounted to nothing.
00:00:32.000The only person who ended up crossing party lines to vote against the president of his own party was Mitt Romney of Utah.
00:00:39.000We'll get to Senator Romney in just one second.
00:00:42.000But suffice it to say, President Trump ends this thing in a better position than he began this thing.
00:00:47.000Right now, an extraordinarily high percentage of Americans, according to Gallup, are positive about the economy.
00:00:52.000Some 63% of Americans approve of President Trump's handling of the economy.
00:00:56.000Trump's approval rating is closing in on 50% for the first time in his presidency.
00:01:00.000The Democrats look like they're in disarray.
00:01:02.000This did not do any heavy lifting for them.
00:01:05.000They didn't change broad American perceptions of President Trump.
00:01:07.000That was all baked into the cake already, as it turns out.
00:01:10.000They didn't change broad American perceptions of Congress other than the generalized belief that Congress is useless and a partisan institution designed to go after people of the other party.
00:01:21.000And despite the attempts by the media to turn Romney's vote into a referendum on Republicans generally, that didn't change anything either.
00:01:27.000Because again, people kind of knew who Mitt Romney was.
00:01:29.000People knew kind of what Mitt Romney was going to do here.
00:01:32.000Sort of see how Mitt Romney perceives himself.
00:01:34.000So the media's attempts to turn that into a big story are, of course, a giant fail.
00:01:38.000According to the New York Times, after five months of hearings, investigations and revelations about President Trump's dealings with Ukraine, a divided United States Senate acquitted him on Wednesday of charges that he abused his power and obstructed Congress to aid his own reelection.
00:01:50.000Bringing an acrimonious impeachment trial to its expected end.
00:01:53.000In a pair of votes whose outcome was never in doubt, the Senate fell well short of the two-thirds margin that would have been needed to remove the 45th president.
00:01:59.000The verdicts came down after three weeks of debate, almost entirely along party lines, with every Democrat voting guilty on both charges and Republicans uniformly voting not guilty on the obstruction of Congress charge.
00:02:09.000Only one Republican, Senator Romney of Utah, broke with his party to judge Mr. Trump guilty of abuse of power.
00:02:14.000This was the third impeachment trial of a president and the third acquittal in American history.
00:02:18.000It ended the way it began, with Republicans and Democrats at odds.
00:02:21.000And of course, that was never going to change.
00:02:33.000I don't know what they thought they were going to get out of there.
00:02:35.000Okay, so President Trump shows up at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning, and he literally is holding up a copy of USA Today with the giant headline, Acquitted.
00:02:43.000Sort of like Harry Truman in 1948, holding up the headline, Dewey Defeats Truman.
00:02:50.000And he's holding up all the headlines, right?
00:02:51.000He's got the New York Times over there and the Washington Post.
00:02:53.000He's holding up every newspaper he can find saying Trump acquitted.
00:02:56.000And in the minds of the American public, that means this is over.
00:02:58.000And basically, no matter what happens on the Ukraine score, it's not going to matter anymore.
00:03:03.000In the same way that once the Mueller report came over, that didn't matter anymore.
00:03:06.000So it looks like they keep taking shots at him and he looks Teflon.
00:03:08.000The more shots you take at the president of the United States and the more that bounce off of him, the more it looks as though he is impregnable.
00:03:14.000Impregnable, as though he is not damageable.
00:03:17.000And that is clearly true of President Trump right now.
00:03:20.000That hasn't stopped the Democrats from trying to claim that somehow they won a victory here, but they didn't.
00:03:28.000It turns out that when you take a shot at the president this way and you miss, That it doesn't redound it to your benefit.
00:03:32.000And this certainly has not redounded to the benefit of the Democrats.
00:03:36.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:03:38.000First, let's talk about your employees.
00:03:40.000So you may have noticed that we started our show a little bit later than usual today.
00:03:44.000And you may have been asking yourself, just why?
00:03:46.000Well, let's say that you had a very, very important producer, somebody you've been working with for years, really terrific at his job, and he just decides to take a day off.
00:03:53.000And it is the most inconvenient day off in human history.
00:03:56.000So when the technology starts to go south, there's no one there to fix it.
00:04:24.000No wonder four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality candidate within the very first day because great candidates are told to apply to your jobs and then ZipRecruiter helps filter them so you don't just get your inbox filled with a bunch of garbage candidates.

00:05:04.000Another good reason for me to take a look at ZipRecruiter.com.
00:05:16.000The Democrats keep trying to claim that they are not owned here.
00:05:21.000Here is Justice Roberts yesterday declaring that Trump was not guilty on the abuse of power votes.
00:05:26.000This was the historic moment when it became obvious, if it was not already, that Trump was not going anywhere.
00:05:31.000Here is Justice Roberts announcing the result of the vote.
00:05:34.000In this article of impeachment, 48 senators have pronounced Donald John Trump, President of the United States, guilty as charged.
00:05:43.00052 senators have pronounced him not guilty as charged.
00:05:47.000Two-thirds of the senators present not having pronounced him guilty.
00:05:50.000The Senate adjudges that the respondent, Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is not guilty as charged in the first article of impeachment.
00:06:42.000They are now in the jerk store episode of Seinfeld.
00:06:45.000According to these House Democratic managers, over the past two weeks, we have argued the impeachment case against President Trump, presenting overwhelming evidence that he solicited foreign interference to cheat in the next election and jeopardized our national security by withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in security assistance to pressure Ukraine to do his political bidding.
00:07:01.000Now, again, if they thought they had overwhelming evidence, they wouldn't have needed additional witnesses.
00:07:04.000So it's weird that they were moaning about the need for additional witnesses.
00:07:07.000When the president got caught and his scheme was exposed, he tried to cover it up and obstruct Congress's investigation in an unprecedented fashion.
00:07:14.000As the trial progressed, a growing number of Republican senators acknowledged that the House had proved the president's serious misconduct.
00:07:19.000No, a growing number of Republican senators acknowledged that the president had done something wrong, but they did not believe that the House had proved the accusations that they brought to the fore in this impeachment trial.
00:07:29.000Nonetheless, the House Democrats say, throughout the trial, new and incriminating evidence against the president came to light almost daily, and there can be no doubt it will continue to emerge in books and newspapers and congressional hearings.
00:07:38.000Most important, reports of former National Security Advisor John Bolton's forthcoming book only further confirm that the president illegally withheld military aid to Ukraine until Kiev announced the sham investigations that the president sought for his political benefit.
00:07:50.000Although Bolton told the House he would rather sue than appear to testify pursuant to a subpoena, he appeared to have a change of heart and made it clear he would be willing to testify in the Senate.
00:07:59.000Basically, he said, I'll testify, but it was unclear that Bolton was ever going to violate executive privilege absent some sort of court order.
00:08:05.000Now, what they're saying here is not entirely false in the sense that it's quite possible that they then call Bolton in the House.
00:08:13.000It's one of the reasons why I was not completely sanguine on the idea of no more witnesses.
00:08:17.000I thought, OK, maybe the best thing to do here is have two weeks of witnesses, get this all behind us, and then the Democrats have no more bullets in their gun, right?
00:08:24.000So we'll see if this materializes or not.
00:08:27.000But I will say that after the acquittal is over, the American people, I think, are just breathing a sigh and being, OK, that's another thing we don't have to worry about now, because honestly, this thing was just a pain in the butt.
00:08:37.000Notwithstanding the Constitution's mandate to the Democrats that the Senate shall have the sole power to try impeachments, a narrow majority of senators opted not to, and instead acted as though it were an appellate court precluded from going beyond the record in the House.
00:08:47.000Nothing supported this unprecedented prohibition on witnesses and documents, except the overriding interest of a president determined to hide any further incriminating information from the American people and a Senate majority leader in his thrall.
00:08:58.000The Senate was not prohibited from calling witnesses, but the Senate is not obligated to call witnesses either.
00:09:02.000This is why the Senate gets to preside over the rules of the trial.
00:09:04.000And if you don't have a majority, you don't really get to bitch about the fact that you don't have a majority in the Senate when it comes to obviously constitutional procedures.
00:09:12.000And then the Democrats suggest that this means that President Trump is basically going to cheat in 2020 no matter what.
00:09:19.000And as per the usual arrangement, the Democrats then decide that there is only one hero, one hero of the day, and that, of course, is Mittens' Mitt Romney, the senator from Utah.
00:09:29.000The House Democratic managers say, And there was.
00:09:31.000Mitt Romney, the senator from Utah, showed a level of moral courage that validated the founders' faith that we were up to the rigors of self-governance.
00:09:36.000Now, this stuff I'm not willing to hear from Democrats.
00:09:38.000Romney, the senator from Utah, showed a level of moral courage that validated the founders faith that we were up to the rigors of self-governance.
00:09:45.000Now, this stuff, I'm not willing to hear from Democrats.
00:09:51.000So first, here's what Mitt Romney had to say in announcing that he was going to vote to convict President Trump, the senator from Utah, and of course, 2012 Republican nominee for president of the United States who got shellacked by Barack Obama.
00:10:02.000Here's Mitt Romney announcing his vote to convict Trump.
00:10:06.000The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime And misdemeanor.
00:11:02.000I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election, is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and on our Constitution as I can imagine.
00:11:12.000It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly.
00:11:19.000It is the last decision I want to take.
00:11:21.000The personal consequences, the political consequences that fall on me as a result of that are going to be extraordinary.
00:11:28.000But I swore an oath before God, and I'm a religious person, that I would apply impartial justice.
00:11:35.000And applying impartial justice said what the president did was grievously wrong.
00:11:40.000Okay, so I think that Mitt Romney is getting this wrong, right?
00:11:51.000I mean, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that President Trump made a perfect phone call.
00:11:54.000I'm not going to sit here and pretend that President Trump did nothing wrong with regard to Ukraine.
00:11:57.000I think that Senator Lamar Alexander's threat on why he was voting for acquittal and why he was voting for no new witnesses was basically correct.
00:12:03.000Lamar Alexander said that the president did something wrong, but it doesn't amount to an impeachable offense, mainly because the president didn't show that he had the motive to simply skew the election in 2020.
00:12:13.000That's what this is all about, as opposed to thin-skinned nonsense about 2016, which is really a much more plausible theory of what exactly Trump was into with regard to Ukraine.
00:12:24.000I can see how Romney would come to this conclusion.
00:13:04.000But do I think that it is his responsibility to adjudicate whether his opinion is going to impact Trump or impact 2020 or any of the rest of that?
00:13:12.000That's not his job in this particular arena.
00:13:14.000His job is to decide whether this rose to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors, which is why when Senator Rubio suggested that, sure, this was kind of a high crime and misdemeanor, But I'm going to vote for acquittal anyway because there's an election coming up in 11 months.
00:13:25.000Well, that is actually not the function of the Senate.
00:13:27.000So Romney independently adjudicating how he felt about this?
00:13:31.000I'm not going to come down on Romney for that.
00:13:32.000I'll come down on him for his judgment.
00:13:45.000He tweeted out that he wanted Romney expelled from the caucus.
00:13:51.000Okay, first of all, the GOP doesn't expel people.
00:13:59.000Second of all, this notion that Romney is sitting there and he's super bitter that he's not Secretary of State or something, I have serious doubts about that.
00:14:07.000Again, assuming the worst of intentions from Romney in a situation where I really don't think the evidence justifies that is a bad look for Republicans and it's silly.
00:14:14.000On the other hand, I'm not willing to hear from House Democrats that Mitt Romney is a man of courage.
00:14:19.000That I'm not willing to hear in the slightest.
00:14:38.000Five seconds ago, I'm old enough to remember it.
00:14:40.000Five seconds ago, you guys were declaring that he was a racist who put dogs on the top of his car, was gonna put black people back in chains, wanted to shove women into binders.
00:14:48.000That he was a horrible one-percenter who disdained the poor, who fired people so they would lose their health care plan and their wives would die of cancer.
00:14:55.000That Mitt Romney was a brutal homophobe who would forcibly cut the hair of gay kids back in the 1950s.
00:15:00.000Now you painted Mitt Romney, the most milquetoast human being who has ever walked the planet.
00:15:06.000Perhaps the most bland human being who has ever walked the planet.
00:15:09.000But at least in his life, a very upright citizen, you painted him as the worst person ever to walk the earth.
00:15:14.000And then Republicans were like, okay, you're going to paint anybody that way?
00:15:18.000Okay, so I'm not going to hear from Democrats what a wonderful, virtuous, upstanding citizen Mitt Romney is now that he has done something you like.
00:15:31.000It's like this I'm not willing to hear so on the right I'm not willing to hear that Mitt Romney who I think we all basically agreed in 2012 was a good guy and that even if you disagreed with his politics even if you thought that he was vacillating on key issues like abortion over the course of his career even if you thought that he like I wrote a column in 2008 why Mitt Romney should not be the nominee and then I wrote one again in 2012 why he should not be the nominee.
00:15:54.000I actually didn't favor Romney as the nominee in 2012 when he won the nomination but It was pretty obvious that Mitt Romney is not a bad man or that he isn't motivated by the desire for MSNBC love.
00:16:04.000Okay, so I'm not gonna hear that from the right.
00:16:06.000And on the left, I'm not gonna hear you guys champion him as a hero because honestly, go screw yourselves.
00:16:11.000And when I hear MSNBC cheering Mitt Romney, you can just, you can shove it.
00:16:17.000All you people in 2012, you were declaring him the worst person on earth so your beloved Barack Obama would retain the presidency despite the fact that he was a garbage president.
00:16:36.000The strange new respect lasts for approximately as long as they don't realize that Mitt Romney is going to vote with Trump on 95% of issues.
00:16:44.000The Strange and Respect for Jeff Flake was based on the fact that he was mean to Trump.
00:16:48.000That he said nasty things about Trump.
00:16:50.000Jeff Flake voted with Trump most of the time.
00:16:52.000And if he had continued on in the Senate voting with Trump, he wouldn't have gotten... They wouldn't have said that his votes in favor of bills that Trump sponsored were now principled votes.
00:17:00.000That it was the same principled man standing up to Trump and voting for a thing.
00:17:03.000Because the way it works for the media is when you agree with them, you're a good, noble human being.
00:17:07.000And when you disagree with them, then you're a bad, evil human being.
00:17:10.000So Mitt Romney agrees with them on impeachment.
00:17:13.000Five seconds ago, he was the worst person ever to walk the earth and must never be president of the United States and was a ridiculous fool to boot.
00:17:19.000But here's MSNBC praising Romney to the skies because they're a bunch of liars.
00:17:23.000Mitt Romney, of course, the former Republican nominee.
00:17:26.000In the moment, as he was speaking, it felt historic indeed.
00:17:30.000It will cement Senator Romney's legacy and stain what the White House was no doubt hoping would be a clean party-line acquittal today, despite the party's refusal to hear from witnesses or admit new documents into evidence.
00:17:46.000Democrats are taking pains to draw a distinction likely to become a refrain in the coming weeks and months that today's acquittal does not equal an exoneration for the president who will remain impeached forever.
00:17:59.000Okay, and again, listen to that media coverage.
00:18:01.000Brian Williams, when he's not flying fake helicopters over a rock being shot down by the insurgents.
00:18:08.000I'm sorry, this whole thing is ridiculous.
00:18:10.000Just doing the bidding of the Democrats.
00:18:11.000Well, he was acquitted, but he wasn't exonerated.
00:18:15.000Yes, but an acquittal is never an exoneration.
00:18:42.000I don't want my hair to look like my father's hair when I am his age, or even when he was in his 40s.

00:19:43.000Now again, do I think that Mitt Romney did anything that is morally bereft here?
00:19:48.000No, I don't, because I don't think that it is the responsibility of a United States Senator to be looking along the spectrum of, oh no, Democrats are going to use what I say against the President.
00:21:12.000That should be it, because the bottom line is you still have that picture of Trump holding up the big acquitted sign.
00:21:16.000And the acquitted sign is the only thing that matters.
00:21:18.000The media want to play up the conflict between Romney and Trump and set this thing up as true hero of the republic, Mitt Romney, versus Donald Trump.
00:21:25.000Instead, Trump should just defuse that and be like, OK, fine.
00:22:26.000And again, I'm not going to take it from the media who suggests that Romney is now a great hero of the Republic when they hated him five seconds ago.
00:22:32.000I'm not going to take it from Republicans who voted for Romney five seconds ago.
00:22:36.000Romney McDaniel, who was forced to change her last name basically by the Trump White House.
00:22:42.000In order to be the head of the RNC, she tweeted out, this is not the first time I've disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last.
00:22:47.000The bottom line is, President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him.
00:22:51.000I, along with the GOP, stand with President Trump.
00:23:08.000And this is why the appropriate attitude, and I don't think you should be saying it out loud, because again, I think that the Trump that you like best is the Trump you see during State of the Union, you know.
00:23:29.000The president tweeted out that he would be president for life just to troll the Democrats, which is kind of, I'll admit, it's hilarious, okay?
00:23:35.000May not be good politics, but it is really funny.
00:23:37.000He tweeted again this graphic that he had tweeted before.
00:23:40.000It was a cover of Time magazine that shows Trump 2028, Trump 2032, all the way till Trump 2048.
00:23:47.000At which point, the President of the United States would be, let's see, he is 73 years old, right?
00:24:13.000Like, this means he's never going to leave office.
00:24:14.000He's going to declare himself dictator.
00:24:16.000He's going to, like Darth Sidious, defeat the power of death and hook himself up to machines.
00:24:22.000He'll be the disembodied floating head of Larry King from Futurama.
00:24:25.000Or, alternatively, he's trolling you guys and your idiots, which I think is much more likely.
00:24:30.000Alrighty, we're going to get to more with regard to the Democrats' attempt to buy back A victory from impeachment.
00:24:36.000Plus, we have to get to the 2020 Democrats.
00:24:37.000The reason they're focused in on impeachment still, even after this thing is over, is they are looking at their field and they are in a state of sheer, absolute, unbridled panic.
00:24:45.000And they definitely, definitely should be.
00:25:12.000Instead, why don't you just go get some clear aligners from Candid?
00:25:15.000Unlike braces, Candid clear aligners are comfortable, removable, totally invisible.

00:26:04.000So as I say, the Democrats are in a state of sheer disarray because this has all gone wrong for them.
00:26:11.000The Iowa caucuses, it turns out, as we'll get to in a second, were a complete and utter cluster F.
00:26:17.000The race now looks like it is moving solidly in the direction of Bernie Sanders because whereas before it looked like the field on the progressive side was split between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, it turns out that Sanders is increasingly consolidating the progressive socialist wing of the Democratic Party and there are serious splits in the non-sufficiency.
00:26:34.000Socialist wing of the Democratic Party between Biden and Bloomberg and Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg.
00:26:38.000There are too many candidates in that lane right now, which is precisely the opposite of where that candidacy was five seconds ago.
00:26:45.000So that's a very dangerous place for the Democrats to be.
00:26:47.000So instead, the Democrats are trying to cling to the last vestige of, but we did.
00:27:07.000Instead of maintaining the president's innocence, the president's counsel ultimately told the Senate that even if the president did what he was accused of, it's not impeachable.
00:27:19.000This has taken the form of an escalating series of Dershowitzian arguments, including, quote, abuse of power is not an impeachable offense.
00:27:31.000Quote, the president can't be impeached for non-criminal conduct, but he also can't be indicted for criminal conduct.
00:27:39.000Quote, if a president believes his own reelection is essential to the nation, then a quid pro quo is not corrupt.
00:27:47.000Yeah, none of this makes any difference.
00:27:48.000This is just the Democrats shouting at the sky because they didn't get what they want.
00:27:52.000So instead, you have Joe Biden out there on the stump mumbling to himself about how Trump shouldn't view a quiddle as a victory.
00:27:58.000Anytime the president surpasses an expectation, this is the dirty secret of politics.
00:28:01.000It's something Bill Clinton was really good at.
00:28:03.000Bill Clinton would deliberately set low expectations just so that he could surpass them.
00:28:06.000Well, the expectations for Trump are so low that when he surpasses them, It's great for him.
00:28:10.000So if the expectation that the Democrats built up is that Trump would be exiting office and then Trump is acquitted, that's a big win for him.
00:28:16.000But Biden says Trump shouldn't view acquittal as a victory.
00:28:29.000I can't imagine being president of the United States and having all one party plus someone from your own party vote to say you should be thrown out of office and view that as a victory.
00:28:42.000Again, the Democratic attempts to buy a victory from the ashes of defeat.
00:28:46.000That graphic's the only one that matters.
00:28:47.000Donald Trump holding up that newspaper that says acquitted.
00:28:49.000That is the only one that matters this morning.
00:28:52.000Instead, you get Sherrod Brown, the Democratic senator from Ohio, writing in the New York Times, and private Republicans admit they acquitted Trump out of fear.
00:28:59.000So now it's all about the Democratic senators who are fearful of Trump.
00:29:02.000And that is why they voted the way that they did.
00:29:04.000So, Mitt Romney is the only man of honor in the Senate, only because he happened to vote alongside The Democrats are banking still on impeachment, despite the fact that it's a failure out of the simple calculation that the more they talk about their own candidates, the more trouble they have.
00:29:18.000Iowa continues to be just a complete disaster area.
00:29:21.000So the results are still trickling in from Iowa.
00:29:24.000Basically, the results show that Bernie won the most votes, but that Pete Buttigieg walks away with most delegates, or at least even in the delegate count.
00:29:31.000Pete Buttigieg is getting a bump in New Hampshire from all of that.
00:29:33.000Now there are reports that one of the reasons that the Iowa caucus has failed, and the Democrats are now trotting this one out, is that on a 4chan board, people had posted the number of the DNC hotline for reporting the precinct results, and they clogged the lines, and so this supposedly twisted everything.
00:29:50.000There's only one problem, which is that the DNC itself has said that there weren't significant problems in this particular area, that the problem with the app was just a problem with the app, that there is no real doubt about the election results.
00:30:00.000They want to blame it on Republicans in some way.
00:30:01.000They want to blame it on trolls in some way.
00:30:03.000But this was pure, unbridled stupidity.
00:30:05.000Because if you don't protect yourself in the middle of an election, then I honestly don't know how you can expect the American people to trust you running virtually anything, right?
00:30:12.000I mean, it's very difficult to imagine how we are supposed to hand over our health care to people who can't run an election involving 170,000 voters.
00:30:23.000They're still not up to 100% of results.
00:30:25.000And then they started releasing minor corrections Last night, they said there will be minor corrections to the last batch of results, and we'll be pushing an update momentarily.
00:30:34.000There was an error that apparently confused votes for Bernie Sanders for votes for Deval Patrick.
00:30:37.000Pretty obvious that nobody voted for Deval Patrick.
00:30:40.000But the continuing fiasco in Iowa has robbed Bernie Sanders of any momentum that he was going to get from Iowa.
00:30:46.000Pete Buttigieg, however, is getting a fairly large bump in the New Hampshire primary, and that is horrible.
00:30:53.000Horrible news for Joe Biden, because right now, as I say, the Democratic non-Bernie Lane is seriously divided, and that is a huge problem.
00:31:02.000Elizabeth Warren is fading, and she's fading badly, and she will likely be out of the race by the time we hit South Carolina.
00:31:07.000If she finishes low in New Hampshire, which is a state that she really needs to finish top two, then she's toast.
00:31:12.000Because, really, you think she's going to have more momentum in, like, Nevada?
00:31:15.000That's not a place where she's—or South Carolina, where black voters make a huge difference.
00:31:19.000Over half of the Democratic base in South Carolina voting in the primaries is black.
00:32:22.000can be just that kind of human being by getting a great bouquet from 1-800-Flowers.

00:35:25.000We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:35:28.000So as I say, the Democrats are in a state of sheer panic because their supposed frontrunner, Joe Biden, is in a state of absolute collapse.
00:36:26.000If Biden loses the first three and Sanders wins the first three, Then he's in real trouble now.
00:36:31.000He got a bit of a reprieve because the Iowa caucuses ended up being a bleep show.
00:36:34.000But by the same token, if he finishes fourth in New Hampshire, and now he's finished fourth in the first two states, if he does not win Nevada outright, he's toast.
00:36:49.000He was the default anti-Trump candidate.
00:36:52.000And then Bernie came along, and it turns out that with a solid core of 25%, as Donald Trump found out, you can win primaries that way.
00:36:58.000You can, because everybody else will split.
00:36:59.000There are too many candidates in these races.
00:37:01.000Well, the New Hampshire presidential primaries, a few weeks ago, the polling showed that Biden was running up close to Sanders, right?
00:37:08.000That he was in first or second place in all of the polling, virtually all of the polling, that Buttigieg and Warren had started to slide a little bit.
00:37:14.000After Iowa, There are two new polls out.
00:37:19.000That poll shows Bernie Sanders up 31-21 over Buttigieg, with Biden and Warren down at 12.
00:37:24.000So there's a solid shot that he gets shellacked in New Hampshire.
00:37:28.000There's another poll out from the Boston Globe at Suffolk, and it has, again, Buttigieg jumping, Sanders at 25, Buttigieg at 19, Biden at 12, and Warren at 11.
00:37:37.000So these polls are consistent in showing a massive collapse for Joe Biden in New Hampshire, which is a very, very bad look.
00:37:43.000As Alaa Pundit writes over at Hot Air Today, he would have been okay finishing second in Iowa to Bernie.
00:37:47.000He would have even been okay-ish finishing third behind Bernie and Warren.
00:37:50.000Either result would have set Biden up to deliver this sales pitch to the rest of the Democratic electorate.
00:37:54.000You now have a clear choice between pragmatism and socialism, between electability and purity.
00:37:58.000I'm the only electable pragmatist left in town.
00:38:01.000But finishing behind Buttigieg deprives him of that argument.
00:38:04.000And by the way, finishing equal to Klobuchar deprives him of that argument, which is why people from Biden's campaign are basically going, well, what if we just pretend the Iowa results are illegitimate?
00:38:14.000What if we pretend Biden actually, like, did okay in Iowa?
00:38:16.000So there's even a split inside the Biden campaign.
00:40:57.000But the problem is that being default candidate has rarely worked.
00:41:00.000Being default candidate is usually likely to fail.
00:41:03.000The only time that I can remember default candidates sort of walking away with it was Mitt Romney.
00:41:07.000And that was after everybody tried everybody else.
00:41:09.000But in any case, here is Joe Biden going hard after his political opponents.
00:41:14.000But if Senator Sanders is a nominee for the party, Every Democrat in America up and down the ballot in blue states, red states, purple states, in easy districts and competitive ones, every Democrat will have to carry the label Senator Sanders has chosen for himself.
00:41:30.000He calls him, and I don't criticize him, he calls himself a democratic socialist.
00:41:34.000Is he really saying that the Obama-Biden administration was a failure?
00:41:41.000I have great respect for Mayor Pete and the service of this nation, but I do believe it's a risk to be just straight up with you for this party to nominate someone who's never held an office higher than mayor of a town of 100,000 people in Indiana.
00:42:23.000I mean, he feels like Jeb Bush circa 2016.
00:42:25.000I mean, it really is pretty brutal for Biden.
00:42:27.000I talk about the working poor all the time.
00:42:29.000I know they call me Middle Class Joe because they think I'm Middle Class Joe because I'm concerned about the middle class.
00:42:36.000And the reason I'm concerned about the middle class is to find an avenue to get to the middle class, to be able to stay in the middle class.
00:42:41.000And when the middle class does well, everybody's a shot.
00:42:50.000Meanwhile, speaking of desperate candidates, Elizabeth Warren trying to recapture the magic that she had six months ago, but the magic is gone.
00:42:56.000And so she's trying to play the woman card because she is one of the only frontrunners who is a lady, who has the lady parts.
00:43:01.000So here is Elizabeth Warren explaining that if you don't vote for me, it's because you're a sexist.
00:43:05.000Okay, this didn't work for Hillary Clinton.
00:43:07.000It's not going to work for Elizabeth Warren, especially since six months ago, she was leading in the primaries.
00:43:11.000So here she is doing the I am woman, hear me squeak.
00:43:14.000As a woman studying politics here at St.
00:43:16.000Anselm, I sometimes feel as if I will be at a disadvantage when I enter the workforce, since the majority of people associate politics with men.
00:43:24.000Do you believe that the men in this race have a better chance of beating Trump solely because of their gender?
00:43:31.000I believe they may think so, but they'd be wrong.
00:44:02.000And it's amazing because nobody's gonna ask him a tough question.
00:44:04.000I mean, just take a look at Bernie Sanders' Twitter feed for a second, okay?
00:44:07.000This is, it's gonna be a never-ending source of irritation to me that nobody in the media will ask this man a tough question about the fact that he was a communist for most of his career and is a communist today, but then hides it beneath absolute ridiculous platitudes.
00:44:23.000The ideas we are talking about, a livable planet, healthcare as a right, a humane immigration system, disability justice, a living wage for all, are not radical ideas.
00:45:09.000He'll say, well, if by socialism you mean that everybody should have a living wage, then I am a socialist.
00:45:16.000Okay, that is, you're not even defining living wage, let alone how you achieve one.
00:45:20.000Okay, capitalism achieves living wages.
00:45:23.000If capitalism didn't achieve living wages, you wouldn't have seen the greatest rise in human prosperity in the history of humanity by exponential scores like the way you have since 1800.
00:45:33.000You wouldn't have seen half the globe raised out of abject poverty by free trade and capitalism since 1980.
00:46:43.000Because the minute that he gets down to brass tacks, everything turns ugly.
00:46:46.000The minute he gets down to brass tacks, everything gets really ugly.
00:46:49.000There's a perspective on the left, and it is very prominent, that government is capable of doing all of these things.
00:46:53.000Particularly, that government is capable of achieving equality of outcome.
00:46:58.000On a very root level, what the Constitution guarantees, and was supposed to guarantee, and increasingly did guarantee, as it was fulfilled for all citizens over time, was equal protection before the law.
00:47:07.000What that meant is that everyone was going to be treated equally by the law.
00:47:11.000That it was not the job of government to establish, quote-unquote, equality of opportunity.
00:47:16.000You know, I know that Republicans sometimes use equality of opportunity, but equality of opportunity would encompass things like, okay, some people grow up richer and some people grow up poorer.
00:47:23.000Obviously, people who grow up poorer have different opportunities than people who grow up rich, so you'd have to equalize these circumstances of birth.
00:47:29.000But that's not what the Constitution guarantees.
00:47:30.000The Constitution guarantees equality before the law, because you're a human being with individual rights, and the government doesn't get to treat your neighbor differently than the government treats you, right?
00:47:39.000That is what the Constitution suggests.
00:47:42.000The left suggests a form of Rawlsian, John Rawls philosopher from the mid 20th century, Rawlsian social justice.
00:47:49.000And what that suggests is that we are supposed to use government to achieve equality of outcome.
00:47:55.000Well, imagine, here's the Rawlsian construct.
00:47:58.000Barack Obama used to quote Rawls all the time.
00:48:00.000The Rawlsian construct is the idea that you don't know how you are going to be born.
00:48:04.000So imagine that you're going to be reincarnated in any society, but you don't know what kind of society it is or who you are going to be in that society.
00:48:11.000What kind of society would you hope was actually ruling?
00:48:14.000You don't know whether you're going to be rich or poor or smart or stupid.
00:48:16.000So what would you hope is the society that would be on top?
00:48:50.000He ended up with the greatest growth of government In the history of the United States and he didn't end up lowering poverty in the United States.
00:48:57.000The percentage of people living below the poverty line right now is effectively the same as it was since the beginning of the 70s.
00:49:03.000So the notion that Bernie Sanders is gonna come along with governments and that he's going to fix all problems, basically his plan goes like this.
00:49:10.000Declare that socialism is, insert thing you want, question mark, utopia.
00:49:25.000It says, in order to achieve equality of outcome, we're gonna have to seize the property of a few people.
00:49:29.000If they don't like it, then we're gonna have to imprison them.
00:49:31.000We're going to have to restrict them from moving.
00:49:33.000We're going to have to crack down on individual rights.
00:49:35.000We're going to have to redistribute everything.
00:49:37.000Eventually what we're really going to need to do is just collectivize the ownership, make it government-owned so we can redistribute the proceeds.
00:49:43.000We're gonna need to do that at the very least.
00:49:46.000And this is why when Elizabeth Warren tried to fill in the gaps on Bernie Sanders, on even basic things that he's proposing, like Medicare for all, she got destroyed.
00:49:55.000Because Bernie will say Medicare for all, and people will say, so what's your plan for this?
00:50:09.000And then when you say, okay, how are you gonna get to the moon?
00:50:12.000And he just refuses to answer the question, then this is a sign of genius.
00:50:15.000Elizabeth Warren, the problem for her is, she would promise you the moon, and then we'd say, okay, so how are we gonna have to get to the moon?
00:50:19.000And she'd say, well, what we're gonna need to do is we're going to need to take you and load you as fuel into this rocket.
00:50:25.000It's gonna be bad for you, it's gonna be great for everybody else.
00:50:27.000And America's like, that sounds kinda bad.
00:50:29.000The minute you put any flesh on the bones of Bernie's ridiculous nostrums, his agenda completely collapses, which is why the media don't bother to actually load any flesh onto the skeleton.
00:51:04.000And the answer is he doesn't have an actual plan.
00:51:05.000He just has a bunch of nonsensical garbage that he tosses out there for the pleasure of idiots who think that simply expressing a wish makes it more plausible that it will come true.
00:51:17.000And you never have to connect the wish with the reality at any point.
00:51:21.000At some point, This reality will have to set in for Bernie.
00:51:24.000I mean, at some point he will be asked these tough questions, but apparently he's going to be able to float right through the primaries without anybody asking those tough questions.
00:51:39.000Bernie Sanders, you can't adopt half of Bernie Sanders' plans and then rip on Bernie Sanders' general ideology, which is what Joe Biden basically has tried to do.
00:52:28.000And I think his best movie, what many people believe is his best performance, is the movie Ace in the Hole, which is a movie about a story that was really big at the time.
00:52:37.000There was even a novel by Robert Penn Warren that was written about this, the Pulitzer Prize winner.
00:52:42.000The movie Ace in the Hole is about a journalist, a really corrupt, it's such a cynical, hard-boiled movie.
00:52:48.000It's about a cynical and corrupt journalist who is covering the story of a man who is trapped underground in a mineshaft collapse and about how he blows up the story and people are arriving and rooting for the guy and he's lying to the public about it in order so that he can achieve some sort of greater measure of fame.
00:53:05.000It's a really brutal, hard-boiled movie.
00:53:23.000Nothing you've ever seen before has the tremendous human interest of Ace in the Hole.
00:53:27.000For here is a startling story of human emotions and human desires, played against the most exciting fight to save a man's life ever depicted on the screen.
00:53:37.000Now, when Smollett comes, you can give him your orders.
00:53:40.000Tell him to go in through the cliff dwelling, shore it up, and get him out fast.
00:53:45.000You can't get him out that way anymore.
00:53:47.000It's a movie that's really the This is Billy Wilder.
00:53:56.000And Billy Wilder, of course, one of the great directors in Hollywood history, actually produced, directed, and wrote this one.
00:54:01.000It's a really fantastic movie and an absolutely true take.
00:54:05.000If you haven't seen Richard Jewell yet, the new Clint Eastwood movie, this is basically a very early version of Richard Jewell about how journalists suck.
00:54:23.000Underrated as an actor because he's a movie star more than he is an actor.
00:54:27.000But in a sense, in the whole, he does some actual acting.
00:54:28.000Was not afraid to play nasty on screen.
00:54:30.000Of course, his son, Michael Douglas, survives him.
00:54:32.000And so, you know, prayers for the family of Kirk Douglas.
00:54:38.000I saw some people last night who were passing around old accusations that were sort of rumors that had never been corroborated about him and Natalie Wood.
00:54:45.000That he had allegedly raped Natalie Wood.
00:54:47.000That was trending on Twitter last night.
00:54:49.000It seems to me that if you're going to make an allegation that you ought to – of that sort, that you ought to back it up more than just to have that trend on Twitter on the day that the man dies at 103 years old.
00:55:23.000We'll get very upset because we have this leftist tears tumbler, as though it is not, number one, semi-ironic, and number two, as though it does not make the distinction between leftists and liberals.
00:55:54.000What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:55:56.000But here's AOC explaining that because the idiom, lift yourself up by your own bootstraps, doesn't actually make physical sense, therefore, as an idea, that you should actually work hard on your own to overcome your obstacles, therefore, that doesn't hold true either, which of course, this is galaxy brain stuff from AOC.
00:56:12.000Hutchinson, I also want to thank you about bringing up the poverty draft and this idea of a bootstrap.
00:56:18.000You know, this idea and this metaphor of a bootstrap started off as a joke because it's a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces.
00:56:34.000Thank you, AOC, for explaining that you cannot physically lift yourself up by your own bootstraps because they are connected to your feet, and that's not the way that force and physics work.
00:57:02.000Okay, time for a quick thing that I hate.
00:57:04.000So the New York Human Rights Commission has gone completely insane.
00:57:12.000Peace by Robby Suave over at Reason.com.
00:57:15.000The New York Commission on Human Rights, an oversight agency that monitors compliance with the city's incredibly broad anti-discrimination law, has now ordered the fashion company Prada to stop selling certain toy dolls, described by many as racist caricatures akin to blackface, and send its employees to sensitivity training.
00:57:31.000The New York City Commission on Human Rights is now ordering people what they can and cannot sell on the basis of restriction of speech.
00:57:39.000In doing so, the overzealous agency is claiming vast new powers to police a private entity's behavior.
00:57:43.000Unfortunately, Prada is meekly submitting to the commission's demands, and other companies, including Dior and Gucci, are facing similar inquisitions, which, of course, is not any sort of shock because the bad publicity associated with the New York Commission on Human Rights going after you is not worth the profit to be made from selling trinkets.
00:57:59.000In September, the Commission announced that an employer or landlord's use of the term illegal alien could be considered a form of illegal discrimination and result in a fine of up to $250,000.
00:58:10.000The sweeping declaration was made without any reference to off-cited limitations.
00:58:13.000Hostile speech must generally be severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive to rise to the level of harassment, for example.
00:58:21.000There is no way that that meets with First Amendment approval.
00:58:25.000But this is what the New York City Commission on Human Rights said.
00:58:27.000I mean, they've suggested that if somebody comes into your bar and they're a transsexual or transgender person, And that if you call them by their biological pronoun, maybe you should be fined a quarter million dollars.
00:58:36.000Does that really accord with your vision of the First Amendment?
00:58:39.000If it does, let me suggest you're getting the First Amendment completely, completely wrong.
00:58:43.000Even before the Declaration, the Commission had begun an investigation into Prada after receiving complaints that some of their merchandise was racially insensitive.
00:58:50.000According to the New York Times, for the last year, the New York Commission on Human Rights, the law's enforcement agency of the municipal government charged with overseeing the city's human rights laws as they apply to housing, retail establishments, and other areas, has been investigating and in settlement talks with Prada, a process culminating in a deal signed on February 4th, just in time to set nerves on edge during fashion month.
00:59:09.000So the commission sent Prada a cease and desist letter after a member of the commission saw a New Yorker's angry social media post about the doll.
00:59:17.000This New Yorker, Chinyere Ezee, a civil rights attorney, filed a complaint with the commission last January.
00:59:22.000So Prada signed an agreement with the commission.
00:59:25.000The company will now force all of its employees and company executives in Milan, Italy through racial sensitivity training.
00:59:31.000Then they will appoint a diversity and inclusion officer subject to the commission's approval.
00:59:35.000So the commission now gets to hire people over at Prada.
00:59:39.000This person will be tasked with quote, reviewing Prada's designs before they are sold, advertised, or promoted in any way in the United States.
00:59:44.000Okay, so this is just the government taking over product development at Prada and Prada going along with it because in order for them to operate without legal liability in the city of New York, they're just going to let This person greenlight all projects appropriate for the city of New York.
01:00:00.000And you can see this easily happening with regard to any variety of products in New York City.
01:00:04.000Let's say that they decide that the New York Post, let's say the New York Post uses the term illegal alien, and the New York City Human Rights Commission decides the term illegal alien is in and of itself discriminatory.
01:00:14.000Or the New York Post decides to call people by their biological pronouns.
01:00:17.000And the Human Rights Commission says, you're not allowed to do that.
01:00:19.000And if you do do that, then your distribution of the newspaper every single day will be punishable by a $250,000 fine.
01:00:26.000We're going to appoint a person to the board of the New York Post, and that person is going to be an editor who is going to go through and check all of your content for discriminatory content.
01:00:36.000And that's how we are going to effectuate a hate-free New York.
01:00:40.000Would that be a violation of freedom of speech?
01:00:42.000You bet your ass it would be a violation of freedom of speech, and it would be tyranny.
01:00:44.000It would be the government overtly cracking down on freedom of speech.
01:00:47.000That's no different just because you're selling the product.
01:00:50.000Hey, also, Prada is required to tell the commission the demographic makeup of its staff at every level and summarize Prada's past and future activities aimed at increasing the number of people from protected classes underrepresented in the fashion industry.
01:01:02.000So they're now going to decide on the staffing, company-wide, based on quotas.
01:01:07.000So New York City, with its non-elected Human Rights Commission, because I don't believe these are elected positions, I believe they're appointed by the mayor, These people are going to decide for Prada how to staff their entire company.
01:01:19.000If you are a moron, you now locate your business in New York City.
01:01:22.000You wonder why people are rushing out of New York City to Florida?
01:01:25.000This is why people are rushing out of New York City to Florida.
01:01:28.000Gucci has already announced they are going to do this sort of thing.
01:01:32.000As Robbie Suave points out, in short, government bureaucrats have decided that existing anti-discrimination law gives them the power to tell fashion companies what sort of merchandise they can sell.
01:01:41.000This is explicitly power they have claimed for themselves.
01:01:43.000Deputy Commissioner Sapna Raj made this clear to the New York Times, saying, quote, I don't know that we realized previously so many major fashion houses had the ignorance of the history of racism in this country.
01:01:52.000We hope companies realize they need to be very careful about how they market and advertise, that they need to have a larger social and cultural consciousness.
01:02:00.000If this doesn't scare the hell out of you, it's because you don't understand what free speech was supposed to be.
01:02:04.000It's so funny, there are people on the left who will say things like, cancel culture doesn't exist!
01:02:08.000You are literally cramming down the ability to cancel an entire company based on the size of the fines so long as you do not approve of their staffing decisions and product and marketing decisions.
01:02:25.000If the left had its way, they would be appointing a couple more justices to the Supreme Court so that any legal challenge to this sort of thing would be knocked down.
01:02:32.000And then the Democrats on a national level would be pushing for hate speech legislation.
01:02:38.000It already exists in Canada with dire effects.
01:02:41.000So when the left tells you they are for personal freedom, just remind them that personal freedom apparently doesn't extend to the ability to market or say the things that you want to market or say so long as you live in New York City.
01:03:30.000President Trump has officially been acquitted in the Senate's farce impeachment trial, but not before snake in the grass Mitt Romney gets in one last little nip before being relegated to ignominy and obscurity.
01:03:41.000We will compare sanctimonious backstabbers with serious and successful conservatives.
01:03:46.000Then the Trump administration leaks a draft of possibly the single most important executive order We will see in our lifetimes to make America beautiful again.
01:03:55.000Finally, Andrew Yang reminds us why the left, no matter how wacky, should never be trusted.
