00:00:01.000According to Nielsen, the Rio Olympics opening ceremony dropped 28% from the London Olympics ceremony in 2012, and that wasn't an aberration.
00:00:09.000The kickoff of Olympic competition earned 19.5 million viewers between 8 p.m.
00:00:13.000and 11 p.m., which was a 32% drop from the London Olympics.
00:00:17.000There are a bunch of reasons why the Olympics seem less interesting every single cycle.
00:00:22.000Nobody ever talks about the home country.
00:00:24.000It would actually be interesting and worthwhile to critique why exactly there have been so many problems in recent Olympics, like dogs being killed on the streets in Sochi, Russia, or massive pollution in China and Brazil.
00:00:36.000It'd be kind of interesting to know why the opening ceremonies at the Olympics this year look like a dystopian future filmed in 1970s Technicolor, sort of like the gang meetup in The Warriors would look like.
00:01:11.000While the Lebanese national athletes refuse to sit on the same bus as the Jews, the Olympics keep marketing themselves as a one-world organization, something along the lines of Disneyland's It's a Small World.
00:01:22.000Except that what made the Olympics interesting in years past was the international rivalry.
00:01:27.000If you watch Miracle and imagine that the U.S.
00:01:29.000hockey team just played Finland and then skipped right over the Soviet Union, there wouldn't be anything there worth filming.
00:01:34.000In a games with no villains, there really can't be any heroes.
00:01:40.000Second, instead of just home-teaming it and rooting for the U.S., the media feel the need to play neutral at the Olympics, which is super annoying and irritating.
00:01:47.000Nobody cares about the comedy of nations.
00:01:49.000We need a rooting interest, that's all.
00:01:50.000Pretending that we ought to simply shrug when dictatorial nations win medals and say, yay, great achievement, rather than getting annoyed by it, should kind of annoy us.
00:01:58.000More than that, the media nod along with manufactured stories like an American fencer wearing a hijab.
00:03:27.000Front like it's sort of like in the Matrix where all of the all of the screens are weirdly plugged in and on top of each other and it looked like some sort of crazy dystopian future and that's because Rio is a craziest dystopian future where people eat people and everything is soil and green because it's been run by the left for years and years but we're not allowed to comment on that what we are allowed to comment on is climate change in the middle of the Olympics
00:03:48.000The opening ceremonies, they start commenting on climate change.
00:03:50.000They said they don't want to talk about the fact that they're this, again, corrupt petro-oligarchy where the current president has been suspended from her duties for corruption and the prior president is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
00:04:01.000They don't want to talk about any of that stuff.
00:04:02.000They don't want to talk about the fact that they have massive tariffs and really bad taxes and really bad regulations and a lot of the country's living in poverty.
00:04:09.000Now, they'd rather talk about how Al Gore, for some reason, like Al Gore showed up and started talking about the
00:04:21.000What does that have to do with anything?
00:04:22.000I like trees as much as the next fellow, but why does this have to do with people working out and then taking drugs so that they can do their sports really well?
00:04:32.000I was informed that there would be international competition like Rocky IV, where people would actually dope in front of me and then would hit each other.
00:05:14.000Every time Trump says, I'm doing well in the polls, no, the answer is you're doing horribly in the polls.
00:05:18.000Ever since the DNC, it's almost as though the media were waiting until the end of the DNC to hit Donald Trump with the kitchen sink, and Donald Trump handed them a kitchen sink so they could hit him with the kitchen sink.
00:05:30.000Almost like that, because if you look at the polls, what you will see is that at the end of the RNC, this was basically a tie race in RealClearPolitics.
00:05:38.000Today, Hillary Clinton has a 7 point lead on Donald Trump.
00:05:41.000Today, there was a Monmouth poll that has Hillary Clinton up among likely voters 52.
00:06:15.000I think that it's very difficult for Trump to come back from a deficit this large.
00:06:20.000We haven't had debates yet, so there could be debate, surprise, where Trump suddenly starts to come back and he hits her, or it could be just more disastrous Trump.
00:06:29.000Right now, by the way, there's actually a shot that Hillary Clinton, there's another Georgia poll.
00:06:33.000Hillary Clinton's now winning by seven in Georgia, which is insane.
00:06:36.000Republicans haven't lost Georgia since 1992.
00:06:39.000Right now, according to the 538 modeling, Hillary Clinton could win South Carolina.
00:06:51.000And the point is not just that Trump is, in many ways, a disaster.
00:06:54.000The point that I'm making is that if you are a Senate candidate, everybody's all over some of these Senate candidates for not endorsing Trump or not getting on the Trump train.
00:07:01.000All the Trump people are saying, why aren't you backing our guy?
00:07:08.000For people who don't know the World War II history, the Nazis overrun France.
00:07:12.000The British have put a bunch of troops on the ground in France in order to try and stop the Nazis from overrunning France.
00:07:17.000And so now, they're pushed all the way back up to the English Channel, and Churchill basically orders this emergency evacuation where people in fishing boats are going over and evacuating everybody over to the other side of the English Channel.
00:07:29.000This is turning into Dunkirk for Republicans.
00:07:30.000They're going to need to abandon Trump because Trump is so toxic to them.
00:07:35.000They're going to need to start abandoning Trump in order to rectify their own possibility of retaining the Senate, in order to rectify their own possibility of retaining the House.
00:07:42.000Because if he loses by 10, 13 points, we're talking historic level blowout.
00:07:46.000John McCain got blown out by Barack Obama.
00:08:07.000You need to save your troops for another day.
00:08:09.000Conservatives need to consolidate and they need to come back stronger in four years because the chances that Trump wins this election, unfortunately, seem to be diminishing, not growing.
00:08:20.000But Trump has a chance like Jim Carrey had a chance near the end of Dumb and Dumber.
00:08:25.000We're saying there's a chance, but I wouldn't stake my house on it.
00:08:28.000And for anybody who disagrees, I know this ticks off a lot of the Trump supporters, I'm sorry, but you yourself would not bet money on Donald Trump at this point.
00:08:34.000So let's just be a little smart, okay?
00:08:36.000Let's just be smart, put aside the political bias for a second.
00:08:38.000He's not losing because of people like me, by the way.
00:08:40.000He's losing because he's not a good candidate and he's making lots of mistakes.
00:08:43.000Now all that said, what makes this so frustrating and disappointing and really upsetting in a major way, what makes this really upsetting is that Hillary Clinton is just a crap show of a human being.
00:09:26.000And they give him a big hero's welcome.
00:09:28.000They say that he was kidnapped by the CIA.
00:09:30.000They say that it was really all about Donald, that it was really all about, you know, the Americans had captured him and it was the end of the world.
00:09:37.000What it really was, it turns out, is that they were probably threatening his family.
00:09:40.000So he goes back, and they capture him, and they torture him, and then they hanged him.
00:09:45.000Well, it turns out that his name appears...
00:09:48.000In many of the, it turns out his name appears in some of Hillary Clinton's emails.
00:09:53.000So, in some of her emails, according to the Associated Press, he was described as our friend.
00:09:58.000Jake Sullivan, who's a national security staffer for Obama, referred to Emiri like this, quote, the gentleman has apparently gone to his country's interest section because he is unhappy with how much time it has taken to facilitate his departure.
00:10:09.000So, talking openly in Hillary's unsecured email server about this guy as a friend about how we're going to help him.
00:10:15.000There's a lot of speculation that perhaps the Iranians had hacked Hillary's server, and that's how they knew that he was a spy.
00:10:20.000Now, again, not total evidence that that is what happened.
00:10:24.000It's possible that he went back and they figured, okay, he's a spy, and they already knew he was a spy, and that's why they basically threatened his family so he'd come back in the first place.
00:10:32.000But it doesn't really change the underlying story.
00:10:33.000The underlying story is Hillary Clinton had an unsecured server.
00:10:36.000She was mentioning stuff that was clearly classified and clearly detrimental to national security.
00:10:40.000Now, I'm old enough to remember when the Democrats made a huge deal
00:10:44.000A huge deal out of Scooter Libby supposedly outing Valerie Plame, the CIA agent, right?
00:11:06.000There's no smoking gun because there never would be.
00:11:08.000I mean, the only way to find a smoking gun here would be for us to hack the Iranians and found out that the Iranians hacked Hillary, but that's not happening.
00:11:15.000What we do know is that Hillary certainly didn't care enough about national security.
00:11:18.000And this also raises another question, which is how many other operations have been destroyed thanks to Hillary Clinton's email server?
00:11:25.000How many times were we staking somebody out and the Russians were hacking Hillary and they knew we were staking somebody out?
00:11:30.000How many times was somebody who's an actual agent on the ground mentioned in Hillary's email server and we just never find out about the operations that get blown and the people who get killed or hurt because we would never find that out?
00:11:42.000You never know about the opportunities that are missed.
00:11:44.000How many operations were destroyed because of Hillary Clinton's email server?
00:12:38.000She wasn't—she was there—it's amazing.
00:12:40.000I mean, she spoke in front of this journalistic event in Washington, D.C., and the journalists actually cheered for her.
00:12:45.000So, I mean, at least their biases are out front.
00:12:47.000I mean, they're literally sitting there clapping for her as she lies to them in front of their face, because this is how these things work.
00:12:52.000So Hillary Clinton is asked about her email server.
00:13:15.000And I have said during the interview and in many other occasions over the past months that what I told the FBI, which he said was truthful,
00:13:27.000is consistent with what I have said publicly.
00:13:29.000So I may have short-circuited it, and for that I, you know, will try to clarify, because I think, you know, Chris Wallace and I were probably talking past each other, because, of course, he could only talk to what I had told the FBI, and I appreciated that.
00:13:46.000Now, I have acknowledged repeatedly that using two email accounts was a mistake, and I take responsibility for that.
00:14:26.000So it's so she's, you know, presumably she's she's like the Terminator sent from the future to destroy Sarah Connor and also America's financial status.
00:14:35.000I have good evidence, by the way, for the idea that Hillary Clinton is actually a robot.
00:14:38.000For example, let's take a look at this one.
00:16:01.000And sometimes, in fact, you know, sometimes computers, here's the thing about computers, you know, computers and artificial intelligence, they don't have millions of years of human evolution, so that means that they're sort of rudimentary in how they handle things like falling objects.
00:16:17.000So there is your first artificial intelligence president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
00:16:23.000If you're very excited about all of that, I suggest that you get your head checked because it's pretty horrifying.
00:16:58.000And Trump responds to Hillary's failings by calling her mentally unstable.
00:17:02.000So I have to say, I don't think this is Trump's most fruitful line of attack, calling Hillary Clinton mentally unstable.
00:17:09.000Not because she is mentally stable, but because we have two crazy people from the asylum scene at the beginning of Amadeus running against each other.
00:17:15.000Here is Donald Trump in New Hampshire ripping into Hillary Clinton.
00:18:10.000And then he, of course, turned into an infinite loop and just kept saying, not as your president for the rest of the two-hour speech.
00:18:17.000So, you know, I was really sick last week, and that meant that I was doubly sick because I had to watch this election cycle.
00:18:25.000And it was horrifying, continued to be horrifying.
00:18:27.000Aside from Donald Trump calling Hillary Clinton unstable, again, his most fruitful line of attack on Hillary is that she's out of touch, not that she's unstable.
00:18:34.000And we can all see that this is a race between two deeply narcissistic people.
00:18:37.000I had a conversation on the air this morning with a couple of naive people.
00:18:41.000I do a morning show out here, and now we have a permanent pro-Trumper up through the election, who's a wonderful gal.
00:18:48.000My name is Jen Horn, and she's there, and Alicia Krauss is there, and Brian Whitman is there, so now it's a cast of thousands.
00:20:34.000I am not presumptuous enough to start thinking about how I'm going to do things after November, but I know that this is something that she's learned from, and we're going to be real transparent, absolutely.
00:20:48.000Well, they're going to be so transparent, it's going to make your head spin.
00:20:49.000They're going to get tired of their transparency.
00:21:13.000I don't know why Cokie Roberts is a human, but Cokie Roberts is on ABC News, and Cokie Roberts is talking about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump calling her unhinged.
00:21:22.000And here is Cokie Roberts' explanation for why Donald Trump would call Hillary Clinton unhinged.
00:21:26.000And what about him tweeting about her short circuit and brainwashing?
00:22:15.000Just a quick note going forward, okay?
00:22:17.000Barack Obama in 2008, we elected the black guy, and then the idea was supposed to be great!
00:22:21.000Now we come together as a country over race, and Barack Obama instead used the club of his race to cudgel anyone who disagreed.
00:22:27.000You got the entire media saying the reason you dislike Obamacare is because he's black.
00:22:31.000Not because Republicans have opposed nationalized healthcare for the entire history of the Republican Party, but because Barack Obama's black.
00:22:36.000If you think that electing a woman president is going to stop feminists from claiming that they're victimized at the hands of American society, think again.
00:23:06.000I know all of those of you in the media don't believe this, but you really don't treat us the same way.
00:23:24.000The allegations by Mrs. Smith, a Gold Star mother, about Hillary Clinton lying to her got about one-tenth of the coverage that the Kahn situation got.
00:23:37.000Hillary's situation in which the FBI, in an extraordinary memo, found her to be extremely careless in handling
00:23:56.000Nobody makes a very big deal about that.
00:23:59.000That's not on the news for five days, six days.
00:24:03.000So I think what Donald Trump is reflecting is
00:24:08.000And I know the media always discounts this because you don't like to get criticized, but you don't treat us the same way that you treat Democrats.
00:24:16.000Hillary, Bill, Obama, they get the benefit of the doubt.
00:25:31.000And they're doing everything they can to fan the flames of a panic.
00:25:35.000But the fact is that I think that this race is a long, long way from over.
00:25:41.000And the truth is that Hillary Clinton is probably the most dishonest person ever to run for president, and certainly the most corrupt ever to be nominated for president.
00:25:55.000He says that Trump is losing because of the media.
00:25:59.000Keep in mind that the press has done everything they can to try to destroy Donald Trump's trustworthiness, even when he's telling the absolute truth and the so-called fact-checkers, which I think is a joke, even when they verify that what he said is the truth.
00:26:13.000On the other hand, you've got Hillary.
00:26:15.000who has been shielded and protected i mean the press has become her helicopter parents and so therefore they are always making sure that she's presented in the best light and that's one of the challenges donald trump faces going into these next few months is is recognizing as he wakes up everyday and looks in the mirror he's got to remind himself the press is not my friend
00:26:37.000Okay, if he has to remind himself of that, he was never a Republican in the first place.
00:26:40.000All Republicans know the press is not their friend.
00:26:54.000Mitt Romney, who's probably the nicest person ever to run for President of the United States, certainly one of the classiest people ever to run for President of the United States,
00:27:01.000Maybe one of the most boring people ever to run for president of the United States.
00:27:04.000He runs, and the media just turned him into the devil.
00:27:38.000Using the anti-media argument to defend Trump when he does stupid things actually ends up discrediting the anti-media argument.
00:27:45.000You understand what he ends up doing is it ends up saying, it makes it seem like the real reason Trump is losing right now is because Trump is doing a terrible job as a candidate.
00:27:53.000Part of that is the media granting excessive coverage to that.
00:27:56.000But when you say it's the media that's killing Trump, as opposed to Trump killing Trump, what you end up doing is you end up discrediting the argument that it's the media, because we can all look and see that Trump is not doing a wonderful job right now.
00:28:10.000So what's kind of happened, what's actually, the irony is, Trump was a product of our hatred for the media, because Trump was smacking the media every day and we loved it.
00:28:18.000He's a product of our hatred for the media.
00:28:20.000Trump is going to help revitalize the reputation of the media.
00:28:23.000Because more and more Americans are going to start trusting the media when they talk about Trump, because Trump actually does dumb things that Romney never did.
00:28:30.000There are some things where they hit him and it's totally unfair, like on the baby stuff, and Trump is right to complain about that.
00:28:35.000And there are some things where they hit him where it's totally fair.
00:28:37.000Like his initial response to the Khan family, or the KKK stuff, or the disabled reporter stuff, or the whole litany.
00:28:43.000The POW stuff, I mean, it just goes on and on.
00:28:46.000The problem with Trump is he, in his very personage, the way he argues, the way he speaks, what he says, these things end up discrediting all of the best Republican arguments.
00:29:15.000Some of it's conservative, some of it's really not conservative.
00:29:17.000But people are going to take away it's conservative, and then, and then, when Donald Trump's policies are implemented, people are going to say, oh, obviously, conservatism failed.
00:29:40.000But the chances of things changing this radically in a short period of time, in an election where Republicans have a systemic disadvantage, they're low.
00:29:49.000That being the case, we have to plan for a movement for the future that's not just about what happens in the next three months.
00:29:54.000We have to start thinking beyond the next three months.
00:29:56.000How are we going to build a movement that is about truth?
00:29:59.000How are we going to build a movement that is about telling people things that are true, as opposed to telling people things that they want to hear?
00:30:04.000I was on Adam Carolla's podcast last night.
00:30:18.000And because people are afraid, they're not going to tell you the truth.
00:30:20.000They're not going to say things that are true.
00:30:21.000They're going to pander to particular audiences.
00:30:24.000And so what ends up happening is that if everybody is pandered to, we end up separated from each other.
00:30:29.000Because the only thing that can, in the end, unify us is truth.
00:30:31.000If none of us can agree that 2 plus 2 is 4, then we're never going to be able to agree on anything.
00:30:36.000And that's what's been happening politically.
00:30:37.000We can say things that are eminently true, and there's no agreement because Trump is busy pandering to his people and he won't tell them the truth, and Hillary is busy pandering to her people and she won't tell them the truth, and so you're ending up with these very polarized parties that only stand for particular kinds of people rather than good ideas.
00:31:00.000We'll go over it a little bit tomorrow and go through the audio and explain what exactly happened.
00:31:04.000But I have a feeling that Trump, I'm not sure Trump has it in him personality-wise.
00:31:09.000And I think the entire Republican Party, I have to say, I think the entire Republican Party has been infused with the spirit of, we're going to talk about people's feelings instead of talking about facts because they think that's how they're going to win.
00:31:19.000And they don't understand that in the end, you can lie to the people and tell them about their feelings, but
00:31:25.000If you disappoint them because you're telling them things that aren't true, then they're going to hold you responsible for that, too.
00:31:31.000They're going to hold you responsible for that, too.
00:31:32.000You can't make promises endlessly to people.
00:31:34.000I guess unless you're a Democrat, maybe you can.
00:32:10.000So while I was sick, I decided that it was time to watch some sci-fi movies, because when you're sitting there going to the bathroom every 45 minutes, you need to do something during the gaps.
00:32:18.000So one of the movies that I watched that I actually really enjoyed, I was surprised that I enjoyed it this much, was 10 Cloverfield Lane.
00:32:27.000The very end of it feels kind of tacked on, but
00:32:32.000But the first, what it really is, I mean, honestly, what it really is, is a psychological thriller for the first hour and 25 minutes, and then the end is kind of like a 10-minute chase sequence that's kind of added on.
00:32:43.000And that doesn't ruin the movie or anything, but everything, everything,
00:32:50.000John Goodman is spectacularly good and scary in this movie.
00:32:52.000He's terrific in this film, especially because I know one person who I won't mention on air who is John Goodman in this film, and he's a very powerful guy.
00:33:01.000And if I mentioned his name, you would know him, but he is John Goodman in this film.
00:33:05.000Here's the preview for 10 Cloverfield Lane.
00:33:49.000Basically what's happening, it looks like it's like a good family get-together drama, it isn't.
00:33:53.000What's really happening is this girl at the very beginning, this isn't giving anything away, it's the first 30 seconds of the film, this girl is driving away from the city and she's hit by a car and the next thing she knows she wakes up basically in a bunker.
00:34:40.000So, Barack Obama wrote a piece, I hate this kind of pandering crap.
00:34:44.000You know, I talked a minute ago about pandering crap, giving people what they want in terms of feelings without giving them the truth.
00:34:50.000So, my wife and I have a rule, I think I've mentioned it on the program before.
00:34:53.000We have a rule, when she comes home and she tells me about a problem in her life, and you should implement this in your relationship, it's a good rule.
00:34:59.000She comes home and she tells me about a problem in her life.
00:35:01.000I've learned, you know, we're married eight years, and I learned probably five years ago,
00:35:07.000that I need to ask a question before we go any further in the conversation.
00:35:10.000And the question is, do you want me to just let you talk?
00:35:14.000Is this just a complaining conversation, or do you want me to solve the problem?
00:37:08.000They say, well, but there's no statistical proof that that's actually happening in terms of violent shootings, for example.
00:37:15.000And if police are running into black people more often, that's probably because most of the high crime areas in the United States happen to be heavily black.
00:37:25.000And if we want to solve the problem, what we really need to do is tamp down the crime rate in the black community because it turns out that every population, when they first come to the United States, has bad relations with the police until the crime rate goes down, in which case they have great relations with the police.
00:37:37.000It happened with the Germans, it happened with the Irish, it happened with the Italians, it happened with the Jews, it's happening in Latino communities.
00:37:43.000Like, what's the big... So let's just get the crime rate down, and how about this?
00:39:29.000And then he talks about it, and then he goes on and on and on and on, and finally gets to, In my lifetime, we've gone from a job market that basically confined women to a handful of often poorly paid positions to a moment when women not only make up roughly half the workforce, but are leading in every sector, from sports to space, from Hollywood to the Supreme Court.
00:39:46.000So you'd think, okay, now it's celebration time.
00:40:25.000It's your conscience, maybe, that's broken.
00:40:26.000But Barack Obama says, we have to change as people.
00:40:29.000Marxists, which is what Obama is, they have a deep, abiding belief, a real deep belief, that people change, that people change on a root level, that if we just change the economic circumstances of human beings, then they change as people.
00:40:51.000So, they say, as you become more wealthy in American society, you become more corrupt, but if we made poor people more wealthy, they'd become better.
00:41:41.000He says, one of my heroines is Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African American to run for a major party's presidential nomination.
00:41:47.000She once said, the emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, it's a girl.
00:42:24.000He said, I've seen how Michelle has balanced the demands of a busy career in raising a family.
00:42:27.000Michelle certainly has never hit a glass ceiling.
00:42:29.000Michelle went to Harvard Law School, got a job at a ritzy law firm in Chicago, and then got a job paying her $300,000 a year to do nothing for the University of Chicago Health System.
00:42:39.000I was often away from home, serving in the state legislature while juggling my teaching responsibilities as a law professor.
00:42:45.000I can look back now and see that while I helped out, it was usually on my schedule and on my terms, the burden disproportionately and unfairly fell on Michelle.
00:43:08.000But I have to admit, when you're the father of two daughters, you become even more aware of how gender stereotypes pervade our society.
00:43:15.000And then he talks about how he absorbs messages of masculinity from magazines, and then he realized his ideas about being a tough guy or a cool guy weren't just, weren't me.
00:43:24.000And he said, we need to keep changing attitudes.
00:43:26.000We need to change the attitude that raising our girls to be demure and our boys to be assertive that criticizes our daughters for speaking out and our sons for shedding a tear.
00:43:43.000It turns out that men in Western civilization have been pretty okay with assertive women to the point of men voting to give women the vote.
00:44:50.000It says, we need to keep changing the attitude that permits the routine harassment of women, whether they're walking down the street or daring to go online.
00:44:56.000Okay, first of all, you shouldn't harass women walking down the street, gang.
00:45:25.000I think men don't like women who treat them badly, and they don't like men who treat them badly.
00:45:30.000He says, we need to keep changing the attitude that congratulates men for changing a diaper, stigmatizes full-time dads, and penalizes working mothers.
00:45:37.000Okay, first of all, let's, okay, again, it's real keeping time now, folks, and this is not me trying to soothe thy feelings, okay?
00:45:43.000Because again, I don't care about them.
00:45:52.000If they didn't, they'd abandon the kids when the kids are born.
00:45:54.000Women have a greater drive to take care of their children than men do.
00:45:57.000It's why men routinely abandon their kids, and women almost never do.
00:46:00.000And just factually speaking, in terms of crime rates, in terms of single parenthood, you never see the mother give birth, leave the kid, and then just give the kid to the dad and take off.
00:46:26.000He says, we need to keep changing the attitude that values being confident, competitive, and ambitious in the workplace, unless you're a woman.
00:46:52.000When men are bossy, like, I tend to be, I like to flatter myself that I'm a pretty good boss to the people that I work with.
00:46:58.000If I were a real jerk to the people I work with, I assume they would call me a jerk, and that has nothing to do with sex, that has everything to do with being a jerk.
00:47:03.000Again, this all comes down, this is Obama just soothing feelings.
00:47:06.000Have you heard anything here that's actually practical?
00:48:07.000But he couldn't do that because then he'd be judging the women who have had babies out of wedlock and the men who have abandoned those babies.
00:48:11.000He wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad.
00:48:13.000This whole long convoluted piece is just this whole routine about what a wonderful man is.
00:48:59.000It's not an important moment for America.
00:49:01.000The only thing that's important is we're about to elect, of two crappy candidates, we're about to elect a crappy president, either the crappy woman or the crappy man.
00:49:21.000There are men who have said—I've seen it.
00:49:23.000I saw it when I was working at a law firm in L.A.
00:49:27.000There was a guy who ran the office, and he would routinely wait until a woman stepped off the office, if any other guy was in the elevator, and he would make some sort of derogatory sexual remark.
00:49:36.000I know that there are men who do this sort of stuff.
00:50:05.000Ghostbusters sucked originally, and it sucks even more when we do the social justice warrior crap where we just put a bunch of women in there.
00:50:12.000So, Barack Obama virtue signaling, that's the thing that I hate for today.
00:50:45.000We'll go over Donald Trump's economic speech, and we'll talk about the latest from the Olympics, and hopefully I'll have more information on that kayaker who hit a couch.
00:50:55.000There was a kayaker who was in the middle of the race, hit a couch, and capsized because things are so polluted there.
00:51:01.000There's legitimately a couch floating just below the surface, and he hit the couch, and he capsized, which, come to think of it, is just a metaphor for the election, and the world, and the Olympics, and everything.
