A new CNN/ORC poll shows Donald Trump breaking what appears to be the 41% ceiling in the presidential race, and could that be the beginning of the end of Hillary Clinton's hopes of reclaiming the White House? Ben Shapiro explains why this could be a game-changer for Donald Trump and why Hillary Clinton is in serious trouble. Plus, a new story about Hillary coughing up black lung and how it could have a major impact on the election. And a call-in question from Ben Shapiro about why you should be worried about Hillary having a black lung. Thanks to our sponsor, Framebridge, for sponsoring the show!

00:02:04.000He's demonstrating he's not a national security risk by traveling to Mexico and acting like a normal human.
00:02:09.000He's attempting to moderate his stance on immigration.
00:02:12.000Meanwhile, Hillary is floundering in her own corruption, which means that Trump may be convincing Americans he's a plausible alternative to Hillary.
00:02:19.000If that happens, if she's unable to cast him as completely unacceptable under any circumstances,
00:02:25.000President Trump could actually become a reality.
00:02:34.000So as you can see, I'm going to be guzzling water this entire show because, like Hillary Clinton, I'm dying of the black lung.
00:02:40.000We'll get to that in just a second, but...
00:02:42.000First, I wanna say hello to one of our great sponsors, Framebridge.
00:02:46.000Framebridge.com is the place to go if you need frames.
00:02:48.000Now, for me, I spend tons and tons and tons of money on frames.
00:02:52.000I've got all sorts of memorabilia, I've got all sorts of autographs, I've got posters, and they're really expensive.
00:02:57.000If you've ever had to frame something big, this stuff can cost you hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
00:03:02.000Well, what's great about Framebridge is you go on their site, and they take a look at, you take a look at their various options, you can pick your frame online, and then you send them your pictures,
00:03:12.000And they take great care of your pictures.
00:03:16.000They're not going to ruin anything that you send to them.
00:03:19.000And their pricing is really straightforward.
00:03:20.000It's Instagram photos for $39, a small photo for $59, a standard movie poster is $139, which sounds expensive until you realize that's a customized movie poster frame for $139, which is way less than it would be.
00:03:32.000I framed something like a newspaper cover.
00:03:36.000Maybe a year and a half ago, it cost me $300 to frame it.
00:03:41.000Go to framebridge.com and you pick out the frame you want and they have designers who can also help you choose the frame and you can upload your pictures directly to them or send a physical picture for them to frame.

00:05:31.000They took them out into a field somewhere with a jackhammer, and they played rap music as Hillary went out there with her walker, took the tennis balls off the ends of it, and just beat the phones to death.
00:05:41.000Okay, also, Hillary told the FBI she had no clue how classified intelligence worked.
00:05:46.000So, remember, she's the most qualified woman in the history of the world, right?
00:07:12.000She said that she thought that it was at the beginning of paragraphs, and it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order.
00:07:18.000This is why she also takes three-year-old children to R-rated movies, because she thinks they stand for refreshing.
00:07:23.000She also brought her BlackBerry into a secure State Department area.
00:07:27.000So they say you're not supposed to bring your BlackBerry in here, because we have all sorts of secure information in here.
00:07:31.000Didn't matter, she brought it in anyway.
00:07:33.000There were 81 classified email chains containing 8 email chains classified top secret in these emails.
00:07:39.000But remember, none of it was classified.
00:07:41.000Hillary also apparently put Americans at risk.
00:07:46.000According to Catherine Herridge of Fox News, she discussed an undercover asset on her email server and outed him after he was dead, which of course exposed his family to risk.
00:07:54.000And then, she told her lawyers to destroy everything, but she didn't participate in developing the specific process by which things were destroyed.
00:10:01.000So they wait for a year for a press conference.
00:10:03.000She finally shows up, and the first two questions are, how are you feeling, and how was your weekend?
00:10:07.000Okay, like, I ask that to my wife after she had a long call as a doctor.
00:10:12.000I ask that to my friends at the office.
00:10:15.000I don't ask that to the presidential candidate who hasn't shown her face, right?
00:10:18.000She's like the Wizard of Oz, hiding behind this manufactured picture of her, and they finally pull back the curtain.
00:10:25.000Imagine, Dorothy goes to see the Wizard of Oz, they finally pull back the curtain, and instead of saying, oh my god, you're there, and you're not the great and powerful Oz, imagine if she just said, how are you doing?
00:10:37.000They reveal the Wicked Witch of the West, and the first question isn't, why do you fly around on a broom and write Surrender Dorothy in the sky?
00:10:43.000The first question is, how's your Labor Day weekend?
00:13:24.000The media are so all in for Hillary, and that's what makes that poll that I was talking about at the top so amazing, is Trump competitive with the media all in for Hillary Clinton this way.
00:15:58.000And there she is, they're gonna play her as the victim again, right?
00:16:01.000She starts to lose, the first thing they do is they start playing the old, you should have sympathy for Hillary because her husband's a dog routine.
00:16:07.000That'd be all fine and good, except that she stuck with him even though he was a dog, and she rode him to power even though he was a dog, and she defended him and covered for him and threatened people even though he was a dog.
00:16:18.000You never see the media ask her those questions.
00:16:20.000Now, the American people are smarter than this.
00:16:40.000Here's Tim Kaine, her vice presidential candidate, who looks more and more befuddled every day.
00:16:43.000I mean, Mike Pence looks befuddled on the other side.
00:16:46.000I think the battle of the befuddlement between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence is going to be something to behold in those vice presidential debates.
00:16:51.000They're just going to stare at each other quizzically the entire time, looking like they just got lost, like their Uber driver dropped them off in the wrong location.
00:16:59.000Here's Tim Kaine pushing, saying that Hillary Clinton, nobody should blame her for not holding a press conference.
00:17:05.000You argue that she's talked to the press on the campaign trail, but our campaign reporters and others say she doesn't really answer that many questions.
00:17:15.000Martha, she's had hundreds of interviews in the last year, and I gotta push back on the notion that she hasn't done a press conference.
00:17:20.000She gave a speech to the National Association of Journalists in the last month, where there were also journalists, Hispanic journalists there, and she did a press conference there.
00:17:29.000And members of mainstream media outlets, television networks, asked her questions during that press conference.
00:17:35.000We're about to switch into a phase of the campaign where we will be on planes and the press will be on the planes with us, which is something that Donald Trump does not allow.
00:17:45.000We are not banning press outlets from covering public events.
00:17:50.000They literally rope off press at her events.
00:17:53.000They literally have pictures of the press being roped off behind an actual rope, like a herd of cattle.
00:17:58.000They actually have a sheepdog that they've laid out there to go and round up press.
00:18:03.000Every time the press get out of their confined area, they have a sheepdog that runs around like Lassie and just collects all of the members of the press.
00:18:10.000And here he is saying, no, Hillary's fully transparent.
00:18:13.000We'll tell you more about that, but first, got to say hello to our friends at U.S.
00:18:17.000So, let's say that you have a problem with the IRS.
00:18:18.000If you're a conservative, solid shot you have a problem with the IRS.
00:18:21.000But even if you're not, let's say that you've gotten hocked to the IRS because it's difficult to do those tax forms or you just didn't make a payment, and now you owe some back taxes, you need to talk to my friends over at U.S.
00:18:31.000They have an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, and they specialize in helping people who have
00:18:35.000Falling behind on taxes, people with personal tax liabilities and business payroll taxes, fees and penalties.
00:18:41.000You call them for a free consultation and they get a senior tax consultant who will call the IRS hotline with you so that you can find out exactly what your liabilities are.
00:18:50.000Then they walk you through the process, they give you a guaranteed quote, and the quote does not increase.
00:18:53.000You can do this whole process with them on the phone.
00:18:58.000They also have something called the Fresh Start program that helps you come clean with the IRS and settle your debts in a short period of time for less than you probably would if you didn't have these people working for you.
00:19:06.000So you need to give them a call for a free consultation, 800-542-2226.
00:19:22.000They advertise with us, which means we're grateful for their advertising.
00:19:25.000That also lets them know that because we sent you, that they should continue advertising, and as we say, keeping our unemployable minion juvenile delinquents employed throughout the progress of The Ben Shapiro Show.
00:19:36.000Okay, well, unfortunately, that runs out of time.
00:19:38.000On Facebook Live, as well as YouTube, go to Daily Wire if you want to watch the rest.
00:19:41.000Also, if you want to subscribe, and $8 a month gets you the ability to be part of the mailbag, which we do in a couple of days here.
00:20:45.000Is it that she hasn't opened up, or is it because of some of her own doing?
00:20:49.000I have a bad habit of saying what I believe and sometimes saying all that I mean here.
00:20:54.000The truth is, Hillary knows it's a problem.
00:20:58.000And she's trying to figure out how to remedy it.
00:21:00.000And my advice to her, the best way to remedy it is
00:21:02.000Talk about what you care about, and talk about it with some passion, and people will see through it.
00:21:09.000But this is going to be, and you know better than I do Jeff, this could be the most negative campaign in the history of modern politics, I think.
00:21:18.000And so my question is, is anybody going to be able to break through what is just
00:21:31.000I love the fact that Joe Biden can't even defend her.
00:21:33.000He starts just giving her advice about being honest from a guy who, by the way, is a plagiarist so bad that he had to dump out of the 1988 presidential campaign because he's an actual plagiarist.
00:21:51.000Also, she should stop using the Clinton Foundation as a pass-through.
00:21:54.000Well, I would certainly suggest that as President of the United States, she should cease all operations, all contact with the Clinton Foundation.
00:22:25.000They do a lot of good things with AIDS and so forth, so I can't definitively answer that.
00:22:30.000But I think, Chuck, what we've got to do as a nation...
00:22:34.000I love that he basically spells out that Hillary is totally honest.
00:22:45.000She is totally, totally honest except for all the things she has done.
00:22:48.000All of those things she has not been honest, but all of the other things she has been honest.
00:22:53.000I won't tell you which things are which things and whose things are whose things, but
00:22:56.000I'm confused, and I just want to go down and lie and have a nap and eat some jello pudding, and when I wake up, I will walk around the neighborhood very, very slowly while singing to myself, this land is your land, this land is my land.
00:23:10.000Okay, so, meanwhile, Hillary Clinton still on the campaign trail.
00:23:13.000So, the big news, I think, over the weekend should have been Hillary's FBI report.
00:23:17.000Instead, the big news over the weekend is that Hillary Clinton looks like death.
00:23:22.000I mean, Hillary Clinton out on the campaign trail, she looks like a member of the Walking Dead, but not like the Walking Dead after, you know, a year where they've been out in the forest for a while, and the animals got to them, and they're moldering, and all this kind of stuff.
00:23:33.000More like the Walking Dead, like, right after they die.
00:23:36.000And so they're kind of, like, crawling around still, so they look, like, slightly alive.
00:23:39.000That's sort of the Hillary Clinton stage of Walking Dead makeup that she's in.
00:23:57.000But I've got the low voice today because I stayed up, as I mentioned, Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night, and Monday night with my baby.
00:24:05.000So it's been a long, long Labor Day weekend.
00:25:48.000He has, you know, made it clear that he doesn't particularly care whether Putin and the intelligence services attack American institutions.
00:26:21.000So there are a few reasons why this is worth noting and a few reasons why it's not worth noting.
00:26:27.000First of all, we don't have any evidence she's actually dying, but we also don't have any evidence that she's not dying, meaning that we have this letter from her doctor that says that she's not dying.
00:26:37.000We also have a letter from Donald Trump's doctor saying he's the healthiest man who ever lived.
00:26:40.000So letters from doctors don't mean a lot to me.
00:26:44.000Donald Trump obviously is not the healthiest man who ever lived.
00:26:47.000That orange hue alone is sort of a giveaway.
00:26:51.000We don't have any evidence she's dying, but because she's so dishonest,
00:26:54.000When she says, I just have these, it's just allergies, like she actually went ahead and she said in that first clip, she goes, she says, I'm just allergic to Donald Trump, right?
00:27:05.000Except that we have tape of her coughing incessantly this entire campaign.
00:27:09.000Now, I don't know that she, she has, you know, tuberculosis.
00:27:12.000I don't think she's like Doc Holliday and she's gonna end up in a sanatorium where she, where she finally dies while holding Kurt Russell's hand and telling him to go be with the woman he loves.
00:27:21.000I think that Hillary Clinton obviously is not totally well, and she won't release her complete medical record, so we don't know how unwell she is.
00:27:28.000And she doesn't get to play the, you don't talk about my health card, after she played the, I get to talk about my health card.
00:27:34.000So the reason, she did this back in, when she had her interview with the FBI.
00:27:38.000So here's from those FBI documents I was talking about earlier, okay?
00:27:41.000It says, according to the FBI, in December of 2012, Clinton suffered a concussion, this is what she told the FBI, and then around the new year, had a blood clot.
00:27:49.000Based on her doctor's advice, she could only work at state for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received.
00:27:58.000One is she couldn't remember the briefings because of her concussion.
00:28:02.000The second was that she missed required meetings because of her concussion.
00:28:06.000Either way, she obviously had some pretty severe health issues.
00:28:09.000I mean, I've never had a health issue where after, you know, aside from having a bad flu or something, after I take a couple of days off, I can only work four hours a day?
00:28:17.000It's not like her job requires her to lift heavy boxes, gang.
00:28:21.000Her job requires her to sit on her rump and send classified emails via an unclassified private server.
00:28:29.000So she doesn't get to say, I get to talk about my health as an excuse for not being competent at my job, but you don't get to talk about my health as an excuse for me being incompetent at my job.
00:28:38.000So the fact that she's a pathological liar means that we sort of suspect there's something more going on.
00:28:43.000And when Trump says she doesn't have the stamina to deal with the world,
00:28:46.000You know, that's not in completely arbitrary consideration.
00:28:50.000We have had presidents who actually lost the capacity to deal with the world.
00:28:54.000Woodrow Wilson, in his second term, basically he had a heart attack and there was a stroke and he was unable to function.
00:28:59.000His wife was basically president of the United States for the last two years of the Woodrow Wilson administration, really.
00:29:05.000And the same is true, you know, we elected William Henry Harrison, 40 days later he was dead.
00:29:43.000But it does underscore the fact that she's deeply dishonest.
00:29:45.000So when she says, I'm healthy, people think, well, if Hillary says she's healthy, that means she has stage 3 cancer instead of stage 4 cancer.
00:29:53.000That's what Hillary's... I do have another theory here, and that's that Hillary is coughing so much because Ricola gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
00:30:31.000But aside from that, aside from that, when it comes to predicting the behavior of the left, apparently I'm worse at predicting the behavior of the right.
00:30:38.000When it comes to predicting the behavior of the left, I am stellar at it.
00:30:41.000And when I say I'm stellar at it, I mean, my God, I'm magnificent.
00:30:44.000So, the reason I say that is because last week, if you recall, I said about Colin Kaepernick that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama basically support his agenda.
00:31:17.000She's only known because she played women's soccer in the World Cup and the female World Cup, which we pretend to pay attention to every four years and then we don't care about it ever again.
00:31:25.000And the only name any man remembers is Brandi Chastain because she once took off her shirt.
00:31:31.000They try to start a league after every female World Cup and all the girls, oh, girls play soccer, and then nobody ever shows up to these games.
00:31:37.000In any case, Megan Rapinoe went down on one knee for the national anthem.
00:31:41.000She was famous for being a female soccer player and being a lesbian.
00:31:45.000And she's famous for being a lesbian because she kissed her partner after the World Cup game and the media went nuts over it because, wow, two girls kissing.
00:31:54.000I thought the best part of that story, by the way, is that if you look at the picture of her kneeling, you can see in the background the stands completely empty.
00:32:01.000There are more people in this studio right now than were at that soccer game.
00:32:17.000Does this, has been doing this routine where he kneels for the national anthem because he hates the police and the police are racist or something.
00:32:24.000And it's funny because after calling the police racist, the police have been guarding him at all the games and preventing anybody from doing anything to him.
00:32:30.000And also, I assume that if somebody tries to break into his giant mansion, which is filled with literally a thousand pairs of shoes, the first people he will call will be the police.
00:32:37.000But as I said, Colin Kaepernick is not a fringe character.
00:32:41.000He represents mainstream left thought, just more stupidly stated.
00:32:45.000Proof positive comes in the form of befuddled Tim Kaine.
00:32:48.000So here's befuddled Tim Kaine defending stupid Colin Kaepernick.
00:32:52.000You got to respect people's ability to act according to their conscience.
00:33:25.000When he says, I respect his ability to act according to his conscience, what he really means is, I agree with his entire critique of the police.
00:34:46.000I think there are a lot of ways you can do it.
00:34:50.000As a general matter, when it comes to the flag and the national anthem and
00:34:58.000Uh, the meaning that that holds for our men and women in uniform and those who fought for us, um, you know, that is, uh, a tough thing for them to get past to then hear, uh, what his deeper concerns are.
00:35:46.000Because he doesn't care about the flag.
00:35:48.000I mean, the fact is that if President Obama were not president, if he were just a community organizer, an old-school community organizer, he would be praising Colin Kaepernick wholesale, and he would be kneeling during the National Anthem.
00:37:11.000And there's talk that there's going to be some major turnover at Fox, that basically with Roger Ailes being gone, that there's now a move to kind of cleanse Fox of the Trumpkins, that all the people who are big fans of Trump are going to be out on their rears after this election cycle, and that a lot of them are going to find a new home at Trump TV if Trump goes on to lose.
00:37:29.000I think the second half of that is true.
00:37:31.000I think the second half of that is clearly true.
00:37:33.000If Trump loses, I think that he will be working with Steve Bannon and Roger Ailes on a pay network in which there are hosts like Greta Van Susteren, like Sean Hannity, like Ann Coulter, you know, people who are big fans of Trump.
00:37:45.000They understand that there's a lot of money to be made.
00:37:48.000If you have 500,000 subscribers to one of these networks and it's $10 a month for these people, then you're making $5 million a month on this kind of thing.
00:37:55.000So, there's a lot of money to be made.
00:38:00.000There's a lot of money to be made here for an internet network that's reliant on this sort of talent.
00:38:05.000But it is interesting that there's been this sort of shakeup at Fox News.
00:38:07.000And it does cast some light on what was going on at Fox News during the primaries.
00:38:11.000Apparently the Murdochs were very upset that basically Roger Ailes turned Fox News into a Trump celebration machine all the way through the primaries.
00:38:34.000And that means you know where I'm coming from.
00:38:36.000The biggest problem that they had at Fox News while Ailes was there is people pretending that they were objective, and who still pretend they were objective, when they clearly were not.
00:38:44.000So there's a new day dawning at Fox, and it's going to be interesting to see where it goes.
00:38:47.000They paid out a $20 million sexual harassment settlement to Gretchen Carlson, by the way.
00:39:20.000I liked the first Game of Thrones season.
00:39:22.000I'd read all the books, so I felt I didn't need to watch the series after reading the books, especially because season one was filled with random boobs.
00:39:30.000A certain amount of random boobs is fine.
00:39:32.000You hit random boob overload, and the series just becomes about the random boobs.
00:39:36.000And in the first season of Game of Thrones, there was a lot of kind of random, useless nudity.
00:39:41.000So my sister convinced me that I should give Game of Thrones another shot.
00:39:45.000Jeremy, the managing editor, he was also raving about Game of Thrones.
00:39:49.000As I was sitting there zombified from having stayed up for a billion consecutive hours with a small baby,
00:39:55.000And as I was sitting there with the baby nursing on the bottle that I'm holding and him turned away from the TV because small babies can't have screen time, I put on Game of Thrones and I watched a bunch of season two.
00:42:00.000We commit murder on the word of this man.
00:42:02.000I'm a purveyor of beauty and discretion.
00:42:07.000So you can see, even the first season, even the trailer, they've got the random boobies, which we blurred out for the sake of the audience.
00:47:13.000It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling this Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bowtie.
00:47:18.000I was like, this should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.
00:47:23.000Lena Dunham is the most obnoxious person.
00:47:24.000There are about eight things here that are obnoxious.
00:47:26.000Number one, why is it that she gets to treat black men like sexual objects, but if a black man looks at her in a non-sexual way, she's insulted?
00:47:34.000She just said that she grinded her butt on Michael B. Jordan for 20 minutes.
00:47:41.000And then she says about Odell Beckham Jr., another black guy, well Odell Beckham Jr., I mean that's just, that's just terrible that he wouldn't look at me as a sex object.
00:47:48.000Do black men not have sexual agency in Lena Dunham's world?
00:47:54.000Number two, no person alive is obligated to find another person sexually attractive.
00:48:00.000No person alive is obligated to find Lena Dunham sexually attractive.
00:48:03.000I know she wants to pass a federal law to make it an obligation for men to find her sexually attractive.
00:48:08.000Otherwise, I don't understand why she takes pictures of herself in her shows sitting on a toilet naked eating cake.
00:48:13.000I know that she's desperate for some sort of
00:48:15.000Some sort of mass approval of her body type.
00:48:18.000But nobody has any sort of moral or physical requirement to be attracted to Lena Dunham.
00:48:24.000Third, if you make yourself deliberately, deliberately unattractive, like if a woman is wearing a male tuxedo to an event, don't be surprised if men look at you and they're like, oh, that's not that hot.
00:48:34.000Okay, if you wore a burlap sack, I assume that would be the same thing.
00:48:37.000Lena Dunham, this usually isn't a problem, because no matter what Lena Dunham's wearing, she's not attractive.
00:48:40.000Okay, so enough of Lena Dunham and her man-hating and her covert racism.
00:48:44.000But she eventually walked a lot of this stuff back and said, it was just me being insecure.
00:48:48.000Which, by the way, is her go-to excuse.
00:48:50.000Yeah, me performing unpleasant acts on myself next to my sweaty, muscly sister in her memoir.
00:48:58.000Everything can be chalked up to insecurity.
00:49:00.000It must be convenient to live in Lena Dunham's extremely wealthy, insecure world where all of the excuses for your bad behavior come down to, I just didn't feel good about myself.
00:49:09.000Maybe you shouldn't feel good about yourself because you're a bad person.
00:49:25.000So I've made it a rule that I don't talk about Milo Yiannopoulos's nonsense, but I thought that this was interesting and worthy of covering.
00:49:34.000He did an interview with ABC's Terry Moran, and Terry Moran was asking him about his trollery, the fact that Milo's constantly trolling people.
00:49:42.000And what you're about to watch is two morons going right at each other.
00:49:46.000And it's really like two monkeys trying to have sex with a basketball, mostly.
00:49:59.000Milo Yiannopoulos, also known as Nero Online, joined in the tormenting of Jones, calling her a man on Twitter to his 350,000 plus followers.
00:50:09.000In the Twitter storm that happened, you called her a dude.
00:50:12.000If Leslie Jones were right here, would you say, you look like a dude?
00:50:21.000I don't say anything I don't believe, but of course I do say things in a way that is going to elicit a response from people.
00:50:26.000Jones detailed the abusive words and images she was receiving and the racist and misogynistic slurs against her that even compared her to an ape.
00:50:35.000Leslie Jones is the equal of you or me as a human being with feelings and numbers.
00:52:01.000So, the reason that I say this is two idiots going at each other is because it's legitimately two morons going at each other.
00:52:06.000So, on the one side, on the left, you have Terry Moran, who is a Terry Moran, right?
00:52:10.000You have Terry Moran saying that it's just terrible, no one should ever insult Leslie Jones, it's just the end of the world if Leslie Jones feels insulted.
00:52:59.000It certainly wasn't at the time, and it was in retrospect.
00:53:02.000So Milo likes to play this kind of dual game where he says that he's being risque by going after Leslie Jones and calling her a dude online, but he's not responsible for any of his followers taking his lead and then running it off the rails.
00:53:24.000I mean this kind of stuff, like what he says at the very end here about body shaming, about fat shaming, and about the body positivity movement.
00:53:32.000There's a perfectly decent case that he actually makes at the very end there, that the notion that all those shapes and body sizes are equally healthy is nonsense.
00:53:41.000You don't fix that by saying that Leslie Jones is a dude.
00:54:06.000But again, more people watch this, and what they get from it is that people who are in favor of healthy standards of living are all like Milo.
00:54:15.000And that's what the left gets from this.
00:54:17.000And the people on the right get from this that the entire left is people like Terry Moran who just want to waste time on ABC's Nightline talking about the tweets that Milo sends to people.
00:54:25.000I'm one of the people Milo targeted the most, and I didn't want him banned from Twitter.
00:54:31.000I will say that since he's been banned from Twitter, I mean, to go to his point, he's not responsible for his followers, I will say this.
00:54:35.000In effect, the level of anti-Semitism and racism in my timeline, the people who have been notifying me, you know, going after me, has dropped by at least 80% since he's been gone from Twitter.
00:54:47.000But it's just, the level of discourse in our politics has now come down to Milo saying, you can say whatever you want, and I'm just being troll-y, on the one hand, which does a great disservice to people who actually want to speak the truth, as opposed to just being a jerk.
00:54:59.000And on the other hand, you have Terry Moran saying anything that's politically incorrect is you being a jerk.
00:55:03.000As opposed to, political correctness is stupid, and if we speak the truth, then we'll actually be able to fight political incorrectness, but we won't be able to do that if we caricature ourselves as a bunch of morons who spend their days online throwing stupid slurs at Leslie Jones.
00:55:17.000Okay, well that brings us to the end of today's program.
00:55:19.000Tomorrow we will do Deconstructing the Culture, we have Bible Talk a little bit, and we'll see if this CNN poll is real, this big new CNN poll for Donald Trump.
