Thanks to all of the pyrotechnics at the first presidential debate, and thanks to Donald Trump's Chernobyl-style meltdown over his IRS records and his business history, and the fact that he acted like a general baboon, it was easy to overlook the insane proposals put forward by Hillary Clinton. Hillary openly advocated some of the most radical propositions in American history. Here are six of them: 1. Profit sharing. 2. She wants to see more companies share in profits, not just the executives at the top. 3. She said basically everybody's racist. 4. Hillary said we should let all the criminals out of prison. 5. She claimed it contained Iran itself. 6. Hillary claimed it would have led to war if America blew an Iranian ship attempting to capture Americans out of the water. That's a lie too. And all I have to say is, what did you people do? What did God decide to do in secret that the nation would nominate two monkeys to be president? And who could screw the hardest? Because that's pretty much what it was last night. Don't worry, we'll go through it in detail in the next episode of The Ben Shapiro Show! Ben Shapiro - THE BONUS EPISODE of The BEN CHECKLIST!

00:00:00.000Thanks to all of the pyrotechnics at the first presidential debate on Monday night, and thanks to Donald Trump's Chernobyl-style meltdown over his IRS records and his business history, his Iraq War position, and the fact that he acted like basically a general baboon, it was easy to overlook the insane proposals put forward by Hillary Clinton.
00:00:24.000Hillary advocated, quote, making the economy fairer.
00:00:27.000In promoting that stupid notion, it's stupid because mutually consensual exchange is by nature fair from any objective point of view, she pushed raising the national minimum wage, which would throw thousands of people out of work, and equal pay for women's work, which means unequal pay for the same work for men, but her truly insane line came next.
00:01:43.000Third, Hillary said basically everybody's racist.
00:01:45.000She pushed the notion of implicit bias.
00:01:47.000This is a new psychological buzzword pushed by the academic left saying that you're unconsciously biased, even if you don't know it, to explain why black people go to prison disproportionately.
00:01:56.000She then suggested that everyone in America was racist.
00:01:59.000I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police, but when it comes to policing, since it can have literally fatal consequences, I have said in my first budget, we would put money into that budget to help us deal with implicit bias by retraining a lot of our police officers, unquote.
00:02:13.000There are zero proven retraining programs regarding implicit bias, or even well-regarded studies suggesting the consistent impact of implicit bias on behavior.
00:02:22.000Which is why no court in America will allow quote unquote evidence of implicit bias.
00:02:27.000If everybody's a racist, there's no cure for racism, and that's a constant excuse for Democrats to claim America is evil.
00:02:33.000Fourth, Hillary said we should let all the criminals out.
00:02:35.000She said criminals should be let out of prison, and she said she wanted to end private prisons, presumably without building new ones.
00:02:41.000She idiotically said private prisons create a structure where you have quote, a profit motivation to fill prison cells with young Americans.
00:02:47.000Well, since the owners of private prisons don't do the policing, this makes no sense.
00:02:51.000Fifth, Hillary said the Iran deal was awesome.
00:03:41.000Okay, so, yesterday was debate day, and boy oh boy, I was this close to hanging myself about 56 minutes in, but luckily for you, I watched the whole terrible thing.
00:03:51.000And all I have to say is, what the hell did you people do?
00:03:56.000What did you—what grave sins have you committed in secret that God decided to revenge himself on the nation thusly?
00:04:01.000Why in the world would you on the Democrat side and you on the Republican side of the aisle decide to nominate two monkeys to engage in the proposition, who could screw the basketball hardest?
00:04:12.000Because that's pretty much what it was last night.
00:04:15.000Don't worry, we'll go through it in detail.
00:04:16.000But first, first we have to say hello to our advertisers over at Framebridge.
00:04:21.000Framebridge is this fantastic service.
00:06:19.000Donald Trump was taking it to her on every field imaginable, and then the wheels fell off.
00:06:26.000Now, before we get into anything else, I'll give my quick overview, the debate grades.
00:06:31.000I thought Trump was an A for the first, he was an A, strong A for the first 30 minutes, and then he was not just an F, he was a Z for most of the rest of the time.
00:06:38.000Hillary Clinton always varies between a B and a C.
00:06:41.000Not in terms of how corrupt and evil and how much of a liar she is.
00:07:06.000Because first half hour, he's in full control.
00:07:09.000We'll start, we'll play it right from the beginning.
00:07:10.000You're going to get the most comprehensive coverage of this debate of anybody out there today.
00:07:15.000And if we have to cut off in the middle, because you only see the first 15 minutes on Facebook, this is why you need to subscribe at dailywire.com for $8 a month and you get a free copy of Clavin's book.
00:07:25.000So, we start off the debate, Hillary walks on stage wearing Chairman Mao's favorite costume, and then Donald Trump walks out and he's wearing a blue tie, and Hillary Clinton leads off with this statement.
00:07:35.000This is her statement for why she wants to be President of the United States.
00:07:43.000That means jobs in infrastructure, in advanced manufacturing, in innovation and technology, clean renewable energy, and small business, because most of the new jobs will come from small business.
00:07:55.000We also have to make the economy fairer.
00:07:58.000That starts with raising the national minimum wage, and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women's work.
00:08:09.000She dropped her normal line, it's super boring, here's a bunch of government programs I'm going to pay for, but really you're going to pay for them, and also I'm a woman, yay vaginas.
00:10:47.000You know, Donald was very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit.
00:10:53.000He started his business with $14 million borrowed from his father, and he really believes that the more you help wealthy people, the better off we'll be, and that everything will work out from there.
00:11:10.000He printed drapery fabrics on long tables where he pulled out those fabrics and he went down with a silk screen and dumped the paint in and took the squeegee and kept going.
00:11:21.000But in all fairness to Secretary Clinton, when she started talking about this, it was really very recently.
00:11:29.000And why hasn't she made the agreements better?
00:11:32.000The NAFTA agreement is defective, just because of the tax and many other reasons, but just because of the fact- Let me interrupt you for a moment- Secretary Clinton and others, politicians, should have been doing this for years.
00:11:43.000Not right now, because of the fact that we've created a movement.
00:11:46.000They should have been doing this for years.
00:11:49.000What's happened to our jobs and our country and our economy generally is, look, we owe 20 trillion dollars.
00:11:58.000So, Hillary hits him with this, I grew up a poor black child in Alabama, and she hits Trump with, and you grew up really rich, and that's her first attempt to sort of jar him, it's her attempt to push him into defensiveness, and he ignores it, which is what he should do.
00:12:11.000And instead, he hits back with, you've been here for 30 years, and all of this sucks, and it's all your fault, because all of it sucks.
00:12:20.000Her only comeback for that is, no, no, no, everything is great.
00:12:22.000Here's Hillary saying, well, you know, everything really is awesome, thanks to President Obama and me.
00:12:27.000Let's stop for a second and remember where we were eight years ago.
00:12:32.000We had the worst financial crisis, the Great Recession, the worst since the 1930s.
00:12:37.000That was in large part because of tax policies that slashed taxes on the wealthy, failed to invest in the middle class, took their eyes off of Wall Street, and created a perfect storm.
00:12:52.000Okay, and so, her response is typical nothingness, and he kills her on it.
00:12:58.000She says that she wants to invest in green energy, and he kicks her right in the giant posterior.
00:13:42.000She's trotting out the same old Obama talking points, and he's saying, you've made things bad, and most Americans believe the country's moving in the wrong direction, and she's got nothing on this.
00:14:47.000Here is Donald Trump hitting her again on NAFTA, and then she falls apart on NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership and her history on trade, because she's not honest enough to embrace free trade.
00:14:57.000So you have two candidates, both of whom are arguing against free trade, which means they're both factually wrong, but Trump actually believes this stuff, and Hillary's been in favor of free trade before, so he just kicks her around.
00:18:37.000Sounds good, doesn't work, never gonna happen.
00:18:41.000Our country is suffering because people like Secretary Clinton have made such bad decisions in terms of our jobs and in terms of what's going on.
00:20:18.000We'll continue on with the show, and there's a lot more coming up, including more debate analysis, the fallout, how Donald Trump knows he lost the debate, because he does.
00:20:25.000He knows he lost, and we'll explain how that happened.
00:20:27.000And we'll also do some deconstructing culture.
00:21:09.000Truth went out the window when we decided that Hillary Clinton was a legitimate presidential candidate, even though Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt woman of the last half century.
00:21:17.000OK, but last night Trump is winning in the first half of the first half hour.
00:21:21.000And then and then Hillary gets under his skin.
00:21:29.000I mean, he's just, he's an absolute narcissist.
00:21:31.000He's an insecure, and not just he's a narcissist, he's an insecure narcissist.
00:21:35.000Most narcissists are, but he's an insecure narcissist.
00:21:38.000And so if you hit him, he feels the necessity to defend on every front.
00:21:42.000So, he moves off of his aggressive attacks on Hillary Clinton, he ignores Benghazi, he ignores the Clinton Foundation, he basically ignores the private email server, and instead, he focuses in on defending himself, and he falls apart.
00:21:55.000I mean, it's an utter and complete meltdown.
00:21:56.000I really, I think that he went from an A to an F. I thought it was awful.
00:23:18.000So you've got to ask yourself, why won't he release his tax returns?
00:23:23.000And I think there may be a couple of reasons.
00:23:25.000First, maybe he's not as rich as he says he is.
00:23:29.000Second, maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be.
00:23:33.000Third, we don't know all of his business dealings, but we have been told through investigative reporting that he owes about $650 million to Wall Street and foreign banks.
00:23:47.000Or maybe he doesn't want the American people, all of you watching tonight,
00:23:51.000To know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody's ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license, and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax.
00:24:07.000So if he's paid zero, that means zero for troops, zero for vets, zero for schools or health.
00:24:16.000And I think probably he's not all that enthusiastic about having the rest of our country see what the real reasons are, because it must be something really important, even terrible, that he's trying to hide.
00:24:31.000And the financial disclosure statement, they don't give you the tax rate.
00:24:34.000They don't give you all the details that tax returns would.
00:24:39.000And it just seems to me that this is something that the American people deserve to see, and I have no reason to believe that he's ever going to release his tax returns, because there's something he's hiding.
00:26:41.000You deleted 33,000 emails after making all of your emails vulnerable to foreign hack.
00:26:46.000The emails that we have seen show that you are trying to cover things up, including corrupt relationships between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department.
00:26:53.000You've got everybody on your team, as he says, pleading the Fifth Amendment.
00:26:56.000You set up private email servers for everybody on your team, so none of this would be discoverable by FOIA requests.
00:27:05.000But you are working for the government, and you are lying about what you did.
00:27:08.000Instead, instead, because Donald Trump has the thinnest skin in the world, tissue thin, and it's maddening, Donald Trump instead starts talking about being underleveraged.
00:27:18.000He starts talking about being underleveraged.
00:27:20.000He goes on like that for like another minute and a half about all of the wonderful things about his business, and why it's not a big deal if he takes loans, and why he doesn't need to turn over his tax returns, and she's just sitting there grinning like a Cheshire cat.
00:27:53.000And as the debate went on, he's constantly defending himself or saying incoherent things.
00:27:58.000And it moves from an issue like free trade, where he feels comfortable even when he's wrong, he feels confident and comfortable even when he's wrong, to issues where he has no idea what he's talking about.
00:28:07.000And so for the rest of the debate, you get a mishmash of absolute incoherent stupidity and him defending his own record in idiotic ways.
00:28:14.000Here's one of the examples of him defending his record in idiotic ways.
00:28:17.000If your main claim to be President of the United States is your business, then I think we should talk about that.
00:28:25.000You know, your campaign manager said that you built a lot of businesses on the backs of little guys.
00:28:33.000And indeed, I have met a lot of the people who were stiffed by you and your businesses, Donald.
00:28:43.000Architects, glass installers, marble installers, drapery installers, like my dad was, who you refused to pay when they finished the work that you asked them to do.
00:28:58.000We have an architect in the audience who designed one of your clubhouses at one of your golf courses.
00:29:09.000And you wouldn't pay what the man needed to be paid, what he was charging you.
00:29:14.000Maybe he didn't do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work, which our country should do too.
00:29:20.000Thousands of people that you have stiffed over the course of your business not deserve some kind of apology from someone who has taken their labor, taken the goods that they produced, and then refused to pay them.
00:30:07.000Every avenue is open to hit her, and he's busy talking about what a wonderful guy he is, because in the end, Donald Trump in a mirror is a match made in heaven.
00:30:23.000Some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world, real estate assets anywhere in the world, beyond the United States, in Europe, lots of different places.
00:30:34.000On occasion, four times, we used certain laws that are there.
00:30:40.000And when Secretary Clinton talks about people that didn't get paid, first of all, they did get paid a lot, but taking advantage of the laws of the nation.
00:30:51.000Now, if you want to change the laws, you've been there a long time, change the laws.
00:30:55.000But I take advantage of the laws of the nation, because I'm running a company.
00:31:07.000And he's foregoing these avenues because he's too busy patting himself on the back and rubbing his own butt to worry about niceties like I'm in the middle of a presidential debate with an actual opponent.
00:31:16.000So, watch what Hillary Clinton says about the police here.
00:31:19.000She leaves herself so wide open and Trump does nothing.
00:31:25.000Here is Lester Holt asking Hillary Clinton about race relations.
00:31:28.000Secretary Clinton, last week you said we've got to do everything possible to improve policing to go right at implicit bias.
00:31:35.000Do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people?
00:31:39.000Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police.
00:31:43.000I think unfortunately too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other and therefore I think we need all of us to be asking hard questions about
00:32:01.000But when it comes to policing, since it can have literally fatal consequences, I have said in my first budget we would put money into that budget to help us deal with implicit bias by retraining a lot of our police officers.
00:32:17.000You know what she just said right there?
00:32:21.000Now, if you were paying attention or if you had a brain in his head, you would have said, Hillary Clinton, are you accusing every American of being a racist?
00:32:28.000And are you accusing all police officers of being secretly racist?
00:32:31.000And what sort of stupid training programs do you suggest to retrain our evil, evil police officers?
00:32:36.000I mean, he's got her on the road and nothing.
00:32:47.000First of all, I agree, and a lot of people, even within my own party, want to give certain rights to people on watch lists and no-fly lists.
00:33:13.000What he's talking about there is a Democrat policy because he's a Democrat, okay?
00:33:16.000Now, it continues along these lines, it continues along these lines, and here's, and one of the other problems here is that Lester Holt really was quite bad yesterday.
00:33:26.000Donald Trump fact-checked Hillary Clinton at one point about the murder rate, and Donald Trump was totally right, but it doesn't, but it doesn't matter.
00:33:33.000It doesn't matter because the impression already is that he's out of control by this time in the debate.
00:33:39.000Well, it's also fair to say, if we're going to talk about mayors, that under the current mayor, crime has continued to drop, including murders.
00:35:05.000works for the campaign and close, very close friend of Secretary Clinton.
00:35:10.000And her campaign manager, Patty Doyle, went to, during the campaign, her campaign against President Obama, fought very hard, and you can go look it up, and you can check it out, and if you look at CNN this past week, Patty Solis Doyle
00:35:30.000Was on Wolf Blitzer, saying that this happened.
00:35:34.000Blumenthal sent Metlatchy, highly respected reporter at Metlatchy, to Kenya to find out about it.
00:37:01.000Donald Trump, in his own mind, has never made a mistake about anything, which is why when he was asked, he said, I never repent before God because I just do things where I don't have to repent.
00:37:10.000From the guy who wrote in his autobiography that he brags about having sex with married women.
00:37:15.000That came home to roost last night, because every mistake that he's made in this campaign, not even everyone, like a very small number of them were brought up, and he has no capacity to just back off of them.
00:37:24.000If he just did what Hillary Clinton did on the server, where she said, I just made a mistake, that's the end of it.
00:37:28.000He should have said, I made a mistake about the birther issue.
00:37:45.000And as his ego began to destroy him, as he focused in on defending himself over and over and over, his verbiage just became more and more incoherent.
00:37:53.000The question here was, what would you do about America's cybersecurity?
00:37:58.000And here was his answer, which legitimately, I mean, the only way you understand this is if you are Gary Johnson and you just smoked an enormous bong.
00:38:05.000So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare.
00:39:07.000And then this, I thought, was the killer exchange.
00:39:09.000So Trump started to collapse it at minute 31.
00:39:12.000But this right here, and this is going to be right here, clip 26, this is the moment when, if the debate matters, and now I'll explain, the debate may not matter.
00:39:21.000It may not, after all this is said and done.
00:39:24.000This is the moment, if it matters, if the debate mattered at all, this is the moment when Donald Trump blew himself up.
00:39:29.000I mean, just strapped a political suicide bomb to his chest and detonated it.
00:39:34.000Mr. Trump, a lot of these are judgment questions.
00:39:36.000You had supported the war in Iraq before the invasion.
00:40:05.000When I did an interview with Howard Stern, very lightly, first time anyone's asked me that, I said, very lightly, I don't know, maybe, who knows.
00:41:00.000And then they did an article in a major magazine shortly after the war started.
00:41:04.000I think in 2004, but they did an article which had me totally against the war in Iraq.
00:41:11.000And one of your compatriots said, you know, whether it was before or right after, Trump was definitely, because if you read this article, there's no doubt.
00:41:19.000But if somebody, and I'll ask the press, if somebody would call up Sean Hannity, this was before the war started.
00:41:26.000He and I used to have arguments about the war.
00:41:28.000I said it's a terrible and a stupid thing.
00:41:31.000It's going to destabilize the Middle East, and that's exactly what it's done.
00:41:46.000I also have a much better temperament than she has.
00:41:49.000You know, I have a much better, she spent, let me tell you, she spent hundreds of millions of dollars on an advertising, you know, they get Madison Avenue into a room, they put names, oh temperament, let's go after, I think my strongest asset
00:42:11.000Wait, the AFL-CIO the other day, behind the blue screen, I don't know who you were talking to, Secretary Clinton, but you were totally out of control.
00:42:22.000I said, there's a person with a temperament that's got a problem.
00:43:33.000But Trump has made a big deal out of opposing the war in Iraq.
00:43:35.000By the way, if I have to listen to one more Republican who backed the war in Iraq say that Donald Trump has great judgment because he didn't back the war in Iraq, you all backed the war in Iraq, okay?
00:43:44.000So now you're going to pretend that Donald Trump is a genius because he took the same position that Cindy Sheehan and Barack Obama did?
00:43:53.000And Trump made a fool of himself right here, and it's clear that he made a fool of himself, but that wasn't the last moment where he made a fool of himself.
00:43:58.000Finally, Hillary drops the sexist line, and Trump utterly, utterly blows it.
00:44:03.000This is the final clip that we'll play from the debate.
00:45:56.000So in the end, he's playing the victim.
00:45:58.000In the end, he's the pathetic victim, and Hillary Clinton is the oppressor after she points out that he called the woman Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping because she was Latina, and he's got no comeback for that.
00:46:07.000Okay, so the debate ends, and everybody's spinning, of course.
00:46:10.000You've got the people spinning in favor of Trump, you've got the people spinning in favor of Hillary.
00:46:13.000I think it's pretty clear, the first third of the debate, he won
00:48:14.000Then he claims that his microphone was rigged.
00:48:16.000So apparently in the room, they were having some trouble with the microphones, but Trump has to make excuses now, so the microphone, the reason that he did badly last night is because the microphone was rigged.
00:48:46.000That was, to me, a bad problem, because you have a bum mic, it's not exactly good.
00:48:51.000And then he said, well, maybe it was a conspiracy.
00:48:53.000So the sort of brilliance you're becoming accustomed to from the Republican nominee, the idea that this was the pick, this was the pick, is shocking.
00:49:03.000Last night, he was doing this weird thing, and he's been doing it for months.
00:49:05.000I don't know why people just noticed it last night, where when he's really amped up and he's speaking, he did it during the primary debates.
00:49:12.000He would say something, and then he would finish a sentence, and he would do this.
00:49:56.000Meanwhile, you've got the typical defenders, and this just shows you how ridiculous this race has become.
00:50:02.000Sean Hannity, so a little late, right?
00:50:04.000Trump calls for Sean Hannity to run on stage and give him a big hug, and Sean can't do it.
00:50:09.000And Sean, by the way, he acts like Sean Hannity.
00:50:11.000He says everybody in America should call Sean Hannity and ask Sean's opinion.
00:50:14.000First of all, I didn't know that that was admissible evidence in a presidential debate.
00:50:17.000I very much look forward to any time I'm criticized in a presidential debate saying, you know, I had a conversation with my best friend 26 years ago, and I think you should call him up right now, and they'll testify.
00:50:28.000Sean Hannity has a nationally syndicated radio show.
00:50:30.000He's the second biggest radio host in America, and he has a massive show on Fox News.
00:50:36.000Any time in here he could have said Trump was anti-war, but he waits until last night, and then he says, yeah, it turns out Trump was right.
00:51:28.000Well, last night I thought it was a very strong debate.
00:51:31.000I thought Hillary did not have a good performance.
00:51:35.000I think throughout the night she was tired, she was formulaic.
00:51:43.000The entire debate from Hillary was more Washington as usual, and every proposal she advanced was another big government solution that isn't working, that is failing.
00:51:54.000And I thought Donald had the strongest debate performance he's had of this election cycle.
00:51:59.000I think he really went after Hillary, which was a good thing.
00:52:03.000And I think he drew strong contrasts, particularly on taxes and on regulation and on law and order and on the disastrous Iran deal.
00:52:12.000And so I thought it was a good debate night.
00:52:18.000Or is it just that now that you've decided that you're going to make this call, now you're going to go full bore for Trump so that no one can blame you if Trump loses?
00:52:26.000It's just that honesty has gone completely by the wayside in this election, but I suppose I should have given that up long ago.
00:52:31.000By the way, Frank Luntz did a focus group last night.
00:52:33.000Here's what the focus group had to say about this debate.
00:52:36.000Who had the biggest impact on your vote?
00:53:27.000Recently he's been very good with his speeches and his appearances where he has stayed on message, no personal attacks, just sold himself and his plan instead of attacking.
00:54:53.000But, among independents, 26% said they were more likely to vote Hillary, 22% more likely to vote Trump, the rest don't know.
00:55:00.000So it's possible the polls don't move.
00:55:02.000If next week the polls have not moved, if he's still running an extraordinarily tight race with her, if she doesn't get any sort of bump, if she doesn't get a three to five point bump,
00:55:11.000He's going to be the president, because it's clear that Americans are just looking for an excuse to vote for him, because after that debate, you have every excuse not to vote for him, because that was an egregious performance.
00:55:24.000I mean, it's disappointing on every level, because the one thing that everyone was looking forward to was Donald Trump taking the fight to her, and instead he spent the entire time talking about himself, which is his favorite topic.
00:55:34.000Okay, time for some things I like and some things I hate.
00:55:38.000So, there's this book that I just finished.
00:55:39.000I've become a big fan of this author, at least her historical novels, Hilary Mantel.
00:55:44.000The book is called A Place of Greater Safety, and it's about the French Revolution.
00:55:48.000It's about Robespierre, Danton, and Desmaline, who, I'm pronouncing this wrong, I'm sure, who's a journalist at the time, and it's a really kind of good, close, almost day-to-day look at what's happening during the French Revolution, and it shows you how people's
00:56:02.000Perceptions of their own virtue can lead to widespread murder.
00:56:07.000How people who might be corrupt actually, they can turn out to be more principled than some of the people who actually think that they're virtuous.
00:56:17.000I think Wolf Hall, which is the book she wrote about Thomas Cromwell and its sequel, I think those are very, very good.
00:56:22.000This book is less read, but it is a very good book.
00:56:24.000A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel.
00:56:27.000Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:56:34.000Okay, so we begin with our good friend Rickamoo Perry.
00:56:38.000So, Rick Perry, ever since he has left the presidential stage, has been searching for a gig.
00:56:43.000And his latest gig is on Dancing with the Stars.
00:56:45.000Every time he's on Dancing with the Stars, from now until he is booted off, we will play tape of him because it is hi-lario.
00:56:50.000So here is Rick Perry, the four-term governor of—oh my God.
00:56:56.000Rick Perry, the four-term governor of the state of Texas, one of the most successful governors in the history of the United States, and there he is on Dancing with the Stars next to a dancer in a Hillary Clinton mask as he makes a muscle.
00:57:57.000Yep, I've briefly scanned the Constitution, and nowhere does it say you can't just roll out of bed and come to the polls in whatever state you woke up in.
00:58:06.000In the name of democracy, any just-out-of-bed look is A-OK.
01:01:17.000You put your hands on my body and told me, you told me you were ready for the big one, for the big jump, I'd be your last love everlasting, you and me.
01:01:24.000I'm giving you up, I've forgotten it all.
01:01:26.000Send my love to your new lover, treat her better.
01:01:28.000We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts.
01:01:30.000So, this is a stellar case for marriage, gang.
01:01:33.000Okay, so what she's saying here is that she got in bed with some dude because he made promises to her, and then it didn't work out, and now she wants him to treat the new lover better because she moved on with her life.
01:01:43.000But clearly she hasn't gotten over it, because she's still singing about it, right?
01:01:46.000So this is, this is, it's the mentality of today's modern young person, the last couple of generations, or the last three generations, is this idea, what you need is, for sex, all you need is commitment.
01:02:32.000When a man makes an actual commitment to a woman where he is now bound to her and she makes a mutual commitment back to him, then it's the appropriate time for sex because then it's not just a guy saying anything to get a girl in bed.
01:02:43.000I know there are all these single women out there who are under the misimpression that men are out for your best interest.
01:02:49.000It's amazing the sort of dichotomy that exists among a lot of single women, not all single women obviously, but a lot of single women think two things.
01:03:19.000So, the theme of this song to me is, you know, she can sit around, she can whine about how, you know, send my love to your new lover, or she could have just said, you know what, you're not getting in the sack with me until I'm actually ready to get married, and you're actually ready to get married, and then, you know what, I'm not gonna have to worry about you sending my love to your new lover, because there's no new lover, because now you're married, and you're boxed in.
01:03:40.000I mean, you could do that, but that social standard has become taboo now.
01:03:43.000And what's amazing is it's considered sexist against women for me to suggest that men should have to commit to the woman before having sex with her.
01:03:51.000If you want to live Adele's lifestyle, and you feel like jumping sack to sack with men, if you feel like having sex with a guy because he says he lurves you, and then he takes off, and then he moves on to his new lover, and you feel like singing this song to yourself alone in your stupid Toyota Camry, it's all you.
01:04:06.000If you would like to live a happier life, let me just recommend the basic old-fashioned moral standard.
01:04:11.000Demand of a man an actual real commitment before you have sex with him and you will actually end up with a better life.
01:04:18.000And lest anybody say, oh it's impossible, you can't do that, I was 24 and I got married, I was a virgin, my wife was 20 when she married me, she was also a virgin,
01:04:38.000And that's because we made a mutual commitment to each other before we decided to hop in the sack with one another.
01:04:42.000And, by the way, the statistics prove this.
01:04:44.000If you live with somebody before you're married, the chances of that marriage actually lasting are significantly lower than if you didn't live with them before you're married.
01:04:52.000Strike one up for traditional marriage, or I guess you can do emo singing with Adele, if that's your thing.
01:04:58.000Okay, so tomorrow, Thomas Sowell is joining the program, which is a great honor for us.
01:05:02.000Obviously, one of the foremost public intellectuals in the United States.
