As news broke of the WikiLeaks release of thousands of Democratic National Committee emails demonstrating DNC coordination with the media and the Hillary Clinton campaign to help sink Bernie Sanders, the media began spinning this was all the work of the nefarious Russians working to get Donald Trump elected. Except, two things can be true at once: The DNC can be a deeply corrupt pro-Hillary super PAC, and the Russians can actually be stumping for Trump. According to cybersecurity experts, many cybersecurity experts are now saying the Russians are responsible for last month s hack of the DNC, and that s what s going to come home to roost if the Russians did indeed hack Hillary s server. And she s got to be up nights thinking about the possibility that Putin dumps her destroyed emails publicly one week before the Democratic National Convention. Oh boy, I'm sure you'll agree that that would be politically delicious. And remember, this is an election in which there are no good outcomes. The same Putin currently slapping Hillary through WikiLeaks apparently wants Donald Trump president for a reason. And it's not because he s a bad guy. It s because he likes Donald Trump. And that s why he s running for president. Ben Shapiro is a writer and host of The Ben Shapiro Show on The Daily Wire. He's a writer, podcaster, comedian, and podcaster.

00:00:00.000As news broke of the WikiLeaks release of thousands of Democratic National Committee emails demonstrating DNC coordination with the media and the Hillary Clinton campaign to help sink the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, the media began spinning.
00:00:13.000This was all the work of the nefarious Russians working to get Donald Trump elected.
00:00:17.000Representative Adam Schiff, Democrat in California.
00:00:20.000He's the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
00:00:22.000He said, quote, Given Donald Trump's well-known admiration for Putin and his belittling of NATO, the Russians have both the means and the motive to engage in a hack of the DNC and the dump of its emails prior to the Democratic Convention, unquote.
00:00:35.000Apparently, Yvonne Drago is sitting somewhere behind a computer muttering, if she dies, she dies.
00:00:41.000Except that two things can be true at once.
00:00:43.000The DNC can be a deeply corrupt pro-Hillary super PAC, and the Russians can actually be stumping for Trump.
00:00:48.000According to Eli Lake of Bloomberg, quote, many cybersecurity experts, as well as the Hillary Clinton campaign, are now saying the Russians are responsible for last month's hack of the DNC.
00:00:58.000Quote, researchers have concluded that the National Committee was breached by two Russian intelligence agencies, which were the same attackers behind previous Russian cyber operations at the White House, the State Department, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff last year.
00:01:10.000So here was Trump's response to these reports via Twitter.
00:01:25.000Essentially, the only major platform change at the Republican National Convention involved the Trump team tearing out a section endorsing giving the Ukrainians weapons they needed to defend themselves from Russian invasion.
00:01:35.000The original amendment said, quote, The Trump people had the amendment tabled, and then they amended it from providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine to, quote, providing appropriate assistance.
00:01:56.000Then there's the cozy relationship between the Trump campaign manager, a guy named Paul Manafort, and the Russians.
00:02:01.000Manafort worked as a lobbyist for former Ukrainian strongman Viktor Yanukovych for over a decade.
00:02:06.000Yanukovych was, of course, working closely with Vladimir Putin.
00:02:09.000And last week, if you remember, Trump said openly he might allow Russia to overrun NATO countries in the Baltics.
00:02:15.000So, all it took for Democrats to worry about the Russians was their hacks doing political harm to Democratic God Queen Hillary Clinton.
00:02:23.000The Democrats didn't care when Hillary put her emails on unsecured servers, exposing classified material to prying eyes.
00:02:29.000They openly mocked Mitt Romney when he said the Russians provided the greatest geopolitical threat to America.
00:02:34.000And they didn't care when Putin took over Syrian policy and invaded Ukraine.
00:02:38.000But when it comes to Hillary, by God, this madness must end.
00:03:44.000If you recall, just a few months ago, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, right, the head of the Democratic National Committee, she was accused by the Bernie Sanders campaign of basically rigging the primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton.
00:04:02.000To the skeptics who say that the superdelegates are really just there to make sure that, you know, the party gets who the party wants, and the party wants Hillary Clinton, what do you say to them?
00:04:10.000Because we've had unpledged delegates since 1984, and there isn't one time that we've had our nominee be elected by anything other than pledged delegates.
00:04:22.000Conspiracy theories are just that, except when they're really out to get you, because it turns out now the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee and they released 20,000 emails basically showing that the DNC wanted Hillary all along, which is not that crazy because Bernie Sanders is a wild man, but it does show that this thing was rigged, and that was Bernie's original accusation.
00:04:41.000So, now all of this stuff comes out, and that's when it gets super fun, because the Bernie Sanders supporters are not taking this lying down.
00:04:48.000I mean, they should have just passed out some weed to the Bernie Sanders supporter and told him to go home, but instead, they decided that they would have them there and things got really crazy.
00:04:57.000Here is Debbie Wasserman Schultz this morning, Jar Jar Binks, this morning, speaking to a crowd, and it did not go the way that Jar Jar wanted it.
00:06:31.000Debbie Wasserman Schultz, just a moment ago, she was saying she wanted to gavel in the convention, and then she realized that she would basically be booed all the way through, so she said, I'm not going to gavel at it anymore.
00:06:40.000The person who replaces her is Stephanie Rawlings Blake.
00:06:43.000If you remember that name, that's because she's the mayor of Baltimore who said that when there were riots in her city, she wanted to give the rioters space to destroy.
00:06:51.000She's the one gaveling in the convention.
00:06:55.000So, Bernie Sanders, you know, first he said yesterday, he said Debbie Wasserman Schultz should resign.
00:07:01.000I asked and demanded Debbie Wasserman Schultz's resignation many, many months ago, and I state that again.
00:07:10.000I don't think she is qualified to be the chair of the DNC, not only for these awful emails which revealed the prejudice of the DNC, but also because we need a party that reaches out to working people and young people, and I don't think her leadership style is doing that.
00:07:31.000Okay, and then Donna Brazile comes out and she says, well, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has to leave.
00:07:55.000It means that this this first of all this is this is not just a one-day leak there will be a Substantial number of emails that I understand that will be leaked over the next couple of days weeks months Because it was not a one-month breach or a two-month breach Come to find out the the Russian hackers, and I have no conspiracy theories in my hands.
00:09:39.000So Hillary Clinton comes out and she has to make a statement now on Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigning because she had rigged this whole system.
00:09:50.000I want to thank my longtime friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her leadership of the Democratic National Committee and her service on the Intergalactic Council over the past five years.
00:10:00.000I am grateful to Debbie for getting the Democratic Party to this year's historic convention in Philadelphia.
00:10:04.000I know this week's events will be a success thanks to her hard work and leadership.
00:10:08.000There's simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie, which is why I am glad she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign's 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally in Florida and in other key states.
00:10:25.000I look forward to campaigning with Debbie in Florida and helping in her re-election bid.
00:10:31.000Debbie Wasserman Schultz is at the DNC, rigged the election for Hillary Clinton, right, put her thumb on the scale for Hillary, she leaves, Hillary hires her.
00:10:41.000And she's right now, Hillary right now is trying to consolidate the party around herself, right, and she wants Bernie Sanders to jump on board.
00:10:48.000Chuck Todd over at NBC News, he says, oh my god, this is insane, this is really not particularly smart.
00:10:53.000Well, very interesting decision, though, by the Clinton campaign to essentially employ her, because then that is only going to make some Sanders people go, aha!
00:14:58.000And he's just standing there with his arm up in the air, doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know where he is, he's just, I do not know why I am here, or why I am endorsing this old terrible woman, but since I must do that, and I like the beach ball in the front, it's just a party for the Bernie bros, they're just beating around the beach ball and booing him when he says endorse Hillary Clinton.
00:15:31.000We'll talk about the bump in a little while, because it really does speak to both Hillary and Trump.
00:15:37.000But it is amazing that one of the reasons that Hillary Clinton is falling apart is because she's so wildly incompetent, everyone hates her, she's so corrupt, and it would just be—wouldn't it just be poetic justice?
00:15:49.000If she set up this private email server to protect herself from public scrutiny, and then the Russians hacked it, and then the Russians dumped all of her deleted emails on the public two weeks before the election, wouldn't that just be—forget about Trump versus Hillary for a second.
00:16:02.000Just in terms of Hillary, wouldn't it be amazing, delicious, wonderful, poetic justice?
00:16:07.000And wouldn't it be just the custard pie of poetic justice if that were to happen?
00:16:12.000In every way, it would be just fantastic.
00:16:14.000Well, this brings us to the end, unfortunately, of our livestream, but we have so much more to cover here on The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:16:19.000Go to dailywire.com to see the rest, or you can download it later from SoundCloud or iTunes.
00:16:24.000We are the number one conservative podcast in America, so thank you for joining us, and we'll see you next time if you're on the livestream.
00:16:39.000Okay, so now that we've caught the wave, we can continue.
00:16:41.000So, here is the, so, okay, so, a couple of things.
00:16:45.000We'll get into the Trump polling in one second.
00:16:47.000But Hillary is so wildly incompetent, and Tim Kaine, they're now trying to, now we've got the whole Kevin Bacon and Animal House situation going, right?
00:16:55.000We've got the, like, everything's on fire, people are running around behind Kevin Bacon, he's going, everything is fine, stay calm.
00:17:02.000Here's Tim Kaine doing the Kevin Bacon routine from Animal House.
00:17:05.000I was a DNC chair, so during the first Obama term, you're not going to find anybody at the DNC or the RNC or any political organization who is a complete agnostic who doesn't have an opinion about a candidate.
00:17:18.000I mean, those of us who are kind of in the realm, we got opinions about people.
00:17:22.000But there's a difference between having an opinion about somebody, having a candidate that you prefer over somebody else.
00:17:28.000There's a difference between that and trying to alter the outcome.
00:17:32.000So he says, there's a difference between just endorsing Hillary and trying to alter the outcome.
00:17:37.000Except if you actually read the emails, which make clear they're trying to alter the outcome, trotting out particular narratives in favor of Hillary Clinton.
00:17:43.000And I mean, how much of a sad sack does Tim Kaine look like in this particular freeze frame?
00:17:48.000I mean, he's just sitting there and Hillary Clinton is sitting there going like, oh, you're my little stepping stool, aren't you, Tim Kaine?
00:19:00.000And I think we need to be concerned about that.
00:19:01.000I think we need to be concerned that we also saw last week at the Republican convention that Trump and his allies made changes to the Republican platform to make it more pro-Russian.
00:19:12.000And we saw him talking about how NATO shouldn't intervene to defend, necessarily should intervene to defend our Eastern European allies if they're attacked by Russia.
00:19:20.000So I think when you put all this together, it's a disturbing picture.
00:19:23.000And I think voters need to reflect on that.
00:19:25.000So I'll get to the disturbing picture in just a second, because the truth is what he's saying is not wholly untrue.
00:19:29.000I mean, the fact is that Trump, as I said at the top, is very connected with the Russians, and the Russians are clearly doing things to his benefit, right?
00:19:37.000I mean, and that's what presumably scares Hillary, is that at night she's waking up in a cold sweat, thinking that all her emails, her intimate emails with Huma, are gonna be released two weeks before the election by Vladimir Putin.
00:19:47.000By the way, we're now learning, apparently, they're saying that the Russians actually dumped fake emails into this whole WikiLeaks thing.
00:19:54.000We don't know what's real and what's fake anymore, so it's totally... This is wild stuff.
00:20:06.000So, as I mentioned, the polls have Trump jumping about six points.
00:20:09.000They also show that 68% of Americans think Hillary is not honest and not trustworthy, which leads to the question, did the other 32% of Americans, were they dropped on their heads as children?
00:20:18.000Because clearly she's not honest and she's not trustworthy.
00:20:21.000But more than that, she is utterly tone-deaf.
00:21:00.000Most Americans think America's on the wrong track.
00:21:02.000When Trump says we have a crime problem, most Americans go, yep, particularly when they're seeing cops shot in major cities across the United States.
00:21:10.000When Trump says we have an ISIS problem, most Americans go,
00:21:24.000Hillary comes out and Hillary does this routine where she acts like everything is hunky-dory because she can't run away from Obama's record because she's running on his record, so it puts her in a really awkward position.
00:21:34.000Seven out of ten Americans believe this is why Barack Obama has really taken the heart out of the Democratic Party on the local and state level.
00:21:40.000Most Americans still like Obama, they just think he's a crappy president.
00:21:44.000So he has a 56% approval rating, but it's like 70% of Americans think the country's moving in the wrong direction.
00:21:57.000Hillary makes a bunch of mistakes over the weekend.
00:22:00.000So instead of her saying, all of the concerns that Donald Trump expressed are real and true, here are the better solutions, instead of doing that, she does the, no, he's slandering America, everything is great.
00:22:11.000Most Americans don't think things are great.
00:22:13.000Most Americans don't think things are great.
00:22:14.000She's tone deaf, so she doesn't say that.
00:22:17.000And then she's supremely tone deaf on a variety of issues.
00:22:21.000Hillary Clinton is incredibly tone deaf.
00:22:24.000She's tone-deaf when it comes to crime.
00:22:26.000I mean, the Black Lives Matter movement is leading this convention.
00:22:30.000We mentioned last week that there are, I think, six or seven mothers of women who are associated with Black Lives Matter, or men associated with Black Lives Matter.
00:22:38.000Their mothers are speaking at this convention, which is pretty amazing.
00:22:40.000Picking Tim Kaine didn't do her any favors.
00:23:10.000Well, it is, you know, a lot of, as you saw at the Republican convention, unfounded, inaccurate, mean-spirited attacks with no basis in truth.
00:25:10.000Even Barack Obama, who's out there stumping for Hillary Clinton today, he thinks Hillary is just deadly dull, and he basically said that the other day.
00:25:24.000And what I would say would be that this is somebody who knows as much about domestic and foreign policy as anybody, is tough as nails, is motivated by what's best for America and ordinary people, understands that in this democracy that we have,
00:25:53.000Things don't always happen as fast as we'd like.
00:25:55.000And it requires compromise and grinding it out.
00:26:23.000Nobody can stand her because Hillary's terrible.
00:26:25.000So that's why Hillary is dropping like a stone in these polls.
00:26:27.000Trump looks like he gets the American people better than she does because he at least is willing to call out the problems.
00:26:33.000As I've been saying for weeks, Trump is great at diagnostics and he's terrible at prognosis.
00:26:37.000So he's the kind of guy who rightly identifies that you have cancer and then he suggests that the cure for cancer is to stick your head below the back tire of a Ford Explorer.
00:26:45.000Right, so it's not, like his solutions are bad, but at least the diagnosis is good.
00:26:49.000Hillary doesn't even bother with the diagnosis.
00:26:51.000You come in with a giant tumor coming off the side of your head, and she's like, you're fine.
00:27:03.000So all of that said, the Democrats are just falling apart.
00:27:05.000There are major divisions inside the Democratic Party.
00:27:08.000On the right side of the aisle, there's a major consolidation.
00:27:10.000And you're seeing it in the reaction to what Ted Cruz did last week.
00:27:13.000So the new CNN poll, and it shows that Cruz's favorability among Republicans has dropped from 60% to 33% in one week.
00:27:19.000And that was largely because of the setup that we discussed last Thursday, the kind of setup situation that Trump created where Cruz made a deal with him, and then Trump stabbed him directly in the kidney because he figured, okay, I can take care of this guy once and for all.
00:27:50.000So the fact is that Trump right now should be leading by 10.
00:27:52.000I mean, with all this chaos in the Democratic Party, he should be up big.
00:27:55.000He's already up a little, which is good for Trump, obviously.
00:27:59.000But here are some of the things that Donald Trump said over the weekend.
00:28:01.000So Donald Trump was asked about David Duke.
00:28:03.000David Duke is now running for Senate in Louisiana.
00:28:06.000OK, and this is going to put the wood to some of the people who I've been talking to who keep saying, well, I'll vote for anybody as long as they're not a Democrat.
00:29:26.000Okay, so notice that Trump isn't doing this on principle.
00:29:30.000He's doing it because last time he got caught out on it, but I do love that even there, he says it depends on who the Democrat is, which is pretty amazing.
00:29:36.000But in any case, so Trump does this, and that's not bad, Trump.
00:29:54.000The Constitution doesn't apply to foreigners.
00:29:56.000So, it's very difficult to make the case on a constitutional, and not right or wrong, it's a Constitution question, a legal question.
00:30:03.000Even leftist scholars will acknowledge the Constitution basically has nothing to say about whether a certain group of people are barred from entering the country or not, as long as they're not citizens.
00:30:13.000But here is Trump talking about the Constitution and Islam.
00:30:56.000I'm going to be coming out over the next few weeks with a number of the places, and it's very complex.
00:31:02.000I don't know what he's talking about, but his take on the Constitution is so ridiculous there that he doesn't know the first thing about the Constitution.
00:31:08.000First of all, the Constitution, as I say, applies to domestic citizens.
00:31:13.000Right, if he really believes in the Muslim ban that he's been espousing for months.
00:31:17.000But for him to imply that the Constitution of the United States is some sort of suicide pact, the last person who said that was Lincoln, and he was suspending the writ of habeas corpus at the time, and we were in the middle of a civil war.
00:31:26.000I don't think that that's the case right now.
00:31:28.000Trump has also been reaching out heavily to Bernie Sanders.
00:31:31.000He says that the Tim Kaine pick was a slap in the face to Sanders supporters.
00:31:35.000This is actually, this is good Trump, okay?
00:31:37.000So here's, it's time for a little bit of good Trump.
00:31:49.000But here is Trump making what is a pretty smart play for Bernie Sanders supporters who, as you saw, are now booing the idea of voting for Hillary Clinton.
00:31:56.000I'm not a fan of Bernie Sanders, but I am a fan of one thing that he talks about trade.
00:32:01.000He's the only one on that side that understands trade.
00:32:03.000Now, he can't do anything about it, because that's not his thing.
00:33:25.000He also decided it was important to rehash the Heidi Cruz thing.
00:33:27.000You remember he called Heidi Cruz ugly, basically.
00:33:30.000When I saw somebody tweeted a picture of Melania and a picture of Heidi, who I think, by the way, is a very nice woman and a very beautiful woman.
00:34:31.000Over the weekend, he says he's going to fund a super PAC.
00:34:34.000A super PAC against Ted Cruz and John Kasich for not supporting him.
00:34:37.000He's gonna try and primary a couple of Republicans for not supporting him.
00:34:40.000So he's got all this money, and instead of spending it against Democrats, he's gonna spend it against the guy who tried to kill Obamacare and the sitting Republican governor of Ohio whose help he needs to win the state.
00:34:52.000Here's him talking about starting his new super PAC.
00:34:55.000Are you really going to fund a super PAC to help defeat him in 2018?
00:34:58.000Well, it's not the number one thing on my mind.
00:35:00.000Look, what's on my mind is beating Hillary Clinton.
00:35:04.000What's on my mind is winning for the Republican Party.
00:35:08.000With that being said, yeah, I'll probably do a super PAC, you know, when they run, against Kasich for $10 to $20 million against Ted Cruz and maybe one other person that I'm thinking about.
00:35:22.000The other person he's thinking about is Ben Sasse.
00:35:24.000He's the senator from Nebraska who's had the temerity to say that Trump is a dumpster fire.
00:35:28.000So, all of that, so Trump, instead of uniting the party, on the Democratic side you can see they're tearing themselves apart.
00:35:33.000On the Republican side, even people like me, I mean we're getting heavy pressure to jump in the Trump camp.
00:35:39.000One of the things, one of the reasons that I'm not jumping on the Trump train is because of stuff like this.
00:35:43.000So you've got the entire Republican Party saying you got to jump on the Trump train, even as he moves to rip away any semblance of decency from the Republican Party.
00:35:51.000So you got Scott Walker out there saying, yeah, we're uniting around Trump.
00:36:21.000And I think for most of us as delegates, whether Donald Trump was your absolute first pick or he was further down the line, the delegates here realize that it's either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.
00:36:34.000And Hillary Clinton would be an abysmal, abysmal failure.
00:36:37.000Okay, so if you want to make the argument, and I've been seeing this argument all over, we've been talking about it for weeks, that Trump will be better than Hillary back Trump.
00:36:48.000One of the reasons I disagree in the long term is because I think that a victorious Trump would rip away any semblance of conservatism and decency from the Republican Party.
00:36:56.000Really, I think that's what would happen.
00:36:58.000That doesn't mean I want Hillary president.
00:36:59.000I want them both to be put in a rowboat and pushed far offshore.
00:37:02.000But if Trump is going to do damage, he's going to do some serious damage.
00:37:05.000And the reason I say that is because after Trump does his little routine, after Trump does his little, I'm going to fund a super PAC to oppose Republicans, Ted Cruz's dad murdered JFK routine, after he did that little routine, the head of the RNC, Reince Priebus, who's just a little pansy, Reince Priebus comes out and he says, well, you know, there's nothing really wrong with that.
00:37:25.000Division is profit in the world of cable news.
00:37:29.000If you're dividing, you're making money.
00:37:31.000Anytime you see a split screen, it's, you know, one person saying X, the other one saying Y, now you fight about it for the next six minutes.
00:37:42.000And so it is a profit center to divide people, to divide politics, to divide parties.
00:37:50.000And that's what you see on television.
00:37:53.000Okay, and he then comes out, Reince Priebus, and he says quite openly, and I'm trying to find the direct quote here, he says, quote, However, I don't think he was ever saying this was some sort of factual information.
00:38:06.000This is about the Ted Cruz's dad killing JFK routine.
00:38:18.000The same people who spent years, years, yelling about how it was a lie that Bush lied and people died, are now justifying Donald Trump saying the same thing.
00:38:27.000Truth is no longer a right-wing value.
00:38:30.000Truth is a conservative value, but it is not a right-wing value.
00:38:34.000Because what's happening now is that the Republican Party is actually doing a better job of unifying around Donald Trump and then backing his lies than the Democratic Party is around Hillary Clinton and backing her corruption.
00:38:46.000I mean, that's sad to say about your own party, but that's what I'm seeing.
00:38:50.000When Ted Cruz said he wouldn't endorse Donald Trump, or at least didn't endorse him strongly enough at the convention, he was booed off the stage.
00:38:56.000When Bernie Sanders said he would endorse Hillary Clinton, he was booed off the stage.
00:39:28.000He wrote this piece about how, basically, if you're a never-Trumper, it's your responsibility, your moral responsibility, if Hillary Clinton wins.
00:39:35.000And he says, quote, If you think Hillary would be a better president, fine.
00:39:44.000But what I must insist you cannot do is fantasize that while a Trump supporter is responsible for the gaffes and disasters of a President Trump, you are somehow innocent of the purges and witch hunts of a President Hillary.
00:39:54.000Trump supporters will own the consequences of a Trump presidency, and Hillary supporters, both those who declare it proudly and those who wish it secretly, own the consequences of a Hillary presidency.
00:40:04.000Adults accept the consequences of their choices.
00:40:07.000So here's where this logic falls apart.
00:40:23.000And then you go and you tell the cops about it.
00:40:25.000Is it your fault the murderer goes to jail or is it the murderer's fault the murderer goes to jail?
00:40:29.000So according to these folks, you would bear moral responsibility for the murderer going to jail.
00:40:35.000According to me, you don't bear any moral responsibility.
00:40:37.000You told the truth about a bad thing that happened.
00:40:40.000What's happening right now is that the Republicans are now trying to force people not just to back Donald Trump with their vote, because my vote doesn't mean anything.
00:40:48.000That's not what they're concerned about.
00:40:49.000The reason people are pissed at me is not because of how I'm voting.
00:41:40.000It's the reason why both parties are now filled with liars, because there are too many people who believe that lies aren't bad so long as it's somebody on your side telling it.
00:41:53.000You should not lie just because you like somebody.
00:41:56.000The reason, in fact, you should support somebody is because they lie less.
00:41:59.000The reason you should support someone is because they're better as a human being, and they have better principles, and those principles matter.
00:42:06.000And the fact that people are willing to turn themselves into mouthpieces for Trumpism just because they hate Hillary so much, that's what I find troubling.
00:42:13.000And that's why I think conservatism is in trouble.
00:42:17.000I'm seeing it happen across the board.
00:42:18.000People I respect, people I don't respect, people coming out and pretending that when Donald Trump does bad things, it's totally okay because at least we're trying to defeat Hillary Clinton.
00:42:40.000Okay, all that said, I mean, that's the fight, I really believe that's the fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party right there, is not even whether you vote for Trump or don't vote for Trump, back Trump or not back Trump, it's whether you are willing to lie for Trump or not willing to lie for Trump.
00:42:53.000That's the great moral conflict to me.
00:45:28.000It's like Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Lena Dunham.
00:45:32.000Very important that Lena Dunham show up, because Lena Dunham has to go and talk about how she apparently molested her sister, as she talks about in her book.
00:47:59.000I will say that I find it absolutely hysterical that you can say anything racist that you want, like the most racist crap imaginable, so long as you're saying it for diversity.
00:48:28.000What I love is when the left tries to create this false dichotomy in the United States between the supposed right wing that wants to make America white again and all the other diverse, wonderful people who are diverse and wonderful.
00:49:02.000The fact that anybody sees these things in terms of race is beyond me.
00:49:06.000It does irritate me, however, that the whole point of this thing becoming popular is that the idea is that here's a drunk guy in a cowboy hat who isn't a racist.
00:49:13.000The implication being that if it were, that normally a drunk guy in a cowboy hat would be a racist, right?
00:49:20.000Because if it were just a drunk guy in, like, Beverly Hills, you'd be like, okay, well, of course he's saying those things.
00:49:25.000But it's a drunk guy in a cowboy hat, therefore it's fine.
00:49:29.000I hate discussions in terms of race, generally, because I don't think that stand-up comedians are better because they're black or white, or women are better because they're black or white.
00:49:38.000If this guy has a thing for black women, alright, but that's not a really great excuse for diversity.
00:49:48.000You know, I think we need to get beyond—half of what he's saying is true.
00:49:52.000The problem is that it's conflated with some other things that aren't particularly true, namely the underlying message, which is that there's a group of people in America, a large swath of people, who want to make America white again.
