The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 196 - Yes, It's Rigged! But Not The Way Trump Thinks.

00:00:00.000 So I'd like to thank the Academy, my wife, my parents, my agent, and God Almighty for the great honor of being the top journalist target of Jew hatred in America over the past few months according to a comprehensive study from the Anti-Defamation League. 0.99

00:00:11.000 I'm honored because being targeted by mouth-breathing idiots is a compliment. 0.98

00:00:15.000 You know, you're doing something right if people who tweet pictures of gas chambers on the day of your child's birth find you unacceptable as a human being. 1.00

00:00:21.000 Hint, I also find you unacceptable as a human being.

00:00:23.000 Here are some quick thoughts. 0.96

00:00:24.000 First, Twitter should not ban the Jew haters. 0.98

00:00:27.000 As the dude who receives hook-nosed Jew memes more than any other journalist on planet Earth, I don't believe people ought to be suspended or banned from Twitter or Facebook for posting vile garbage so long as you're not openly advocating violence. 1.00

00:00:38.000 I make a habit of retweeting these pieces of human crap in order to mock their stupidity and to expose the fact that people like this exist. 1.00

00:00:44.000 We're good to go. 1.00

00:01:03.000 Alt-right means something, and it means ethno-cultural European solidarity that has nothing to do with conservatism, the Constitution, or ideals of liberty.

00:01:10.000 To read what the alt-right is, we actually have a great piece over at Daily Wire that you can check out.

00:01:14.000 By the same token, downplaying the alt-right's anti-Semitism as mischievous and trolly, as some people at sites like the Trump-centric alt-right meeting site Breitbart like to do, that's lying by omission and provides cover to evil.

00:01:26.000 Third, Jew hatred is not widespread among Trump supporters.

00:01:29.000 So, the ADL report links Trump support to Jew hatred on Twitter.

00:01:33.000 There's no question that there's a very small but loud segment of alt-right Trump supporters who tweet gas chamber memes at people, but it's pretty small.

00:01:40.000 The vast majority of Trump supporters find this sort of stuff absolutely reprehensible.

00:01:44.000 They're not in line with the alt-right.

00:01:45.000 I know it, you know it, we all know it. 0.99

00:01:47.000 To overestimate their percentage of the population would be wrong and foolish. 0.97

00:01:50.000 Fourth, a lot of online Jew hatred is astroturfed. 0.96

00:01:53.000 The ADL study shows Jew hatred on Twitter spikes at certain times and cascades on itself.

00:01:58.000 That means it's being coordinated, or at least encouraged, by specific Twitter personalities.

00:02:01.000 I can say with certainty, the amount of Jew hatred in my Twitter feed has dropped exponentially since Twitter banned Milo, which, by the way, is a ban I opposed.

00:02:09.000 Trump does wink, by the way, at the alt-right.

00:02:11.000 Fifth, as I've said before,

00:02:13.000 Donald Trump may not be an alt-righter, he isn't, but he spends an awful lot of time and effort winking at them.

00:02:17.000 The hiring of Steve Bannon as campaign CEO, a guy who turned Breitbart.com from an edgy conservative site into an alt-right haven, then bragged about it, was a shout-out.

00:02:25.000 Trump winking and nodding at Vladimir Putin, it's part of the same pattern.

00:02:28.000 His language about international bankers may not be intentional, but the alt-right certainly treated it that way.

00:02:34.000 Finally, the media ignored Jew hatred if it's directed against the right.

00:02:37.000 The ADL has done a really good job of charting the rise of Jew hatred against conservative pundits. 0.74

00:02:42.000 But the entire media largely ignored that same Jew hatred, so long as it only targeted people like me on the right, and only began to notice it when it hit people on the left, like Julia Jaffe.

00:02:51.000 We Jews on the right, who oppose Trump, were used to it by the point the left figured out about it.

00:02:55.000 Politico magazine just did an entire piece, like two weeks ago, about anti-Semitism among this segment of Trump supporters, and they asked, quote, why has the Jewish right looked away?

00:03:03.000 This is patently insane, and it demonstrates the myopia of much of the left. 0.81

00:03:07.000 The left itself is replete with anti-Semitism and Jew-hatred. 0.95

00:03:10.000 Just check their support for the Palestinians and their charter for the Black Lives Matter movement.

00:03:14.000 So, what's the future of the alt-right and all this sort of Jew-hatred online?

00:03:17.000 If Trump wins, it'll probably grow.

00:03:19.000 The alt-right feels emboldened by Trump.

00:03:21.000 But even if he loses, they'll live on at sites that now rely on their enthusiastic support, like Breitbart.

00:03:25.000 Iraq has been overturned, the window of acceptability has moved, and it's worthwhile fighting back. 1.00

00:03:30.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:03:30.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:03:36.000 All righty, so glad to be back.

00:03:38.000 I had a two-day break, and now we're back into it.

00:03:40.000 The debate is tonight, we'll get to all that.

00:03:42.000 First, we have to say hello to our friends over at Birch Gold.

00:03:44.000 So, if you're interested in investing in precious metals, and goodness knows, we are in the midst of an unstable time.

00:03:50.000 If you're worried stocks are overvalued, real estate is overvalued, gold is not a bad haven for your wealth, and you should talk to my friends over at Birch Gold Group.

00:03:58.000 If you contact them right now, they give you a free information kit on physical precious metals.

00:04:02.000 It's valued at $24.99, but they want to provide listeners to The Ben Shapiro Show

00:04:06.000 With that kit at no cost.

00:04:08.000 And if you contact them, ask all your questions, make sure you get all your answers about investing in precious metals before you invest.

00:04:14.000 But Birchgold is the best place to do it.

00:04:16.000 They are very solid.

00:04:17.000 They're good folks.

00:04:18.000 And if you want to get the kit, head over to birchgold.com.

00:04:20.000 Make sure you use the slash Ben so they know that we sent you.

00:04:27.000 Okay, tons to get to today here on The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:04:30.000 We are going to get to the debate stuff because obviously the big debate is tonight, is it Trump's last chance or is it beyond Trump's last chance?

00:04:36.000 We'll talk about it.

00:04:37.000 What is his big plan?

00:04:38.000 But we have to start today with these two videos that broke while I was off for Sukhote.

00:04:42.000 Sukkot is 1.00

00:04:59.000 James O'Keefe, who does a great job with investigative journalism, he broke a video in which he showed that there are people who work for the DNC who are involved in promoting voter fraud and also involved in promoting violence at Trump rallies.

00:05:12.000 Here is a clip from one of O'Keefe's undercover videos.

00:05:15.000 This investigation has revealed compelling evidence of a dark money conspiracy, a violation of federal campaign coordination laws between Hillary Clinton's campaign, Priorities USA, Hillary's super PAC, and the Democratic National Committee.

00:05:29.000 We're good to go.

00:05:45.000 We and a few other people are the hubs of that communication.

00:05:49.000 Oh, there is a script.

00:05:50.000 There's a script.

00:05:50.000 Okay.

00:05:51.000 There's a script of engagement.

00:05:53.000 Sometimes the crazies bite, and sometimes the crazies don't bite.

00:05:56.000 They're starting confrontations in the line.

00:05:58.000 Mm-hmm.

00:05:59.000 Right?

00:05:59.000 They're not starting confrontations in the rally.

00:06:02.000 To volunteers.

00:06:03.000 Because once they're inside the rally, they're under Secret Service's control.

00:06:06.000 When they're outside the rally, they're more affected out.

00:06:09.000 They're harder to get in.

00:06:10.000 The media

00:06:12.000 We're good to go.

00:06:27.000 A second group, and that group works for the DNC.

00:06:29.000 So what he's talking about is the idea that they stack people in the line at Trump rallies in order to ask nasty questions of the Trump folks and try and elicit a violent response that the media can pick up on.

00:06:40.000 He actually talked about a situation where a 69-year-old woman apparently did this to an older guy, and the older guy hit her, or at least she claimed he hit her, and this became a national media story.

00:06:48.000 I remember when it happened, there was national media coverage of this 69-year-old woman who claimed that she'd been assaulted by this Trump supporter.

00:06:55.000 He's saying, we astroturf this kind of stuff.

00:06:57.000 And that's not the only allegation that is being fulfilled and proved correct by these tapes from O'Keefe and Project Veritas, which is a good organization.

00:07:08.000 There's also a second piece of information, and that is that these folks engage in voter fraud and are happy to do so.

00:07:14.000 So this is the second clip here.

00:07:23.000 You know what?

00:07:23.000 We've been busting people in for 50 years and we're not going to stop now.

00:07:30.000 I mean, I grew up with that.

00:07:52.000 You know, they used to bus people out to Iowa.

00:07:56.000 If we needed people out there, we'd simply bus people out to Iowa.

00:07:59.000 The question is whether when you get caught by a reporter, does that matter?

00:08:05.000 Because does it turn into an investigation or not?

00:08:07.000 In this case, in this state, the answer is no.

00:08:12.000 Talking about voter fraud.

00:08:13.000 Okay, well, what Scott Fovall is talking about is voter fraud.

00:08:15.000 And he talks in the video about the idea that you rent cars, and then you go to places, and you just vote under an assumed name, and you write in a ballot, and it gets picked up.

00:08:24.000 Now, is this the kind of voter fraud that's going to shift massive presidential elections?

00:08:30.000 Very difficult to say that that's the case.

00:08:32.000 So there is voter fraud.

00:08:33.000 Voter fraud is extraordinarily real.

00:08:34.000 Voter ID is necessary.

00:08:36.000 Anybody who opposes the clearing of the rolls of dead people, who opposes the idea that you ought to identify yourself when you vote,

00:08:41.000 There's only one reason you want to do that and it's because you're basically okay with voter fraud because your side benefits from it.

00:08:45.000 Voter fraud does happen.

00:08:47.000 Voter fraud is the reason that Al Franken is in the Senate as opposed to Norm Coleman.

00:08:50.000 He ended up winning a race in 2008.

00:08:52.000 He was the 60th vote for Obamacare.

00:08:55.000 He ended up quote-unquote winning that race after a recount.

00:08:58.000 There were, I think, 2.8 million votes cast in that election.

00:09:00.000 He ended up, quote-unquote, winning it by, like, 300 votes.

00:09:03.000 There was voter fraud, clearly, in Washington state with regard to the 2004 gubernatorial election.

00:09:09.000 A woman named Christine Gregoire, who was a Democrat, supposedly beat a fellow named Dean Rossi in the gubernatorial race. 0.99

00:09:15.000 Ended up winning by, like, 150 votes out of, again, 2.5 million votes cast.

00:09:20.000 And that was voter fraud, as well.

00:09:22.000 And, obviously, people talk about 1960 and all the dead people voting in Chicago for John F. Kennedy.

00:09:26.000 As an example of voter fraud.

00:09:28.000 So voter fraud absolutely exists.

00:09:30.000 And O'Keefe is right to point it out.

00:09:31.000 And O'Keefe is right to target it.

00:09:33.000 And the media, who are attempting to downplay this, attempting to pretend it doesn't exist, trying to say that nobody admitted to any wrongdoing here.

00:09:39.000 Both Foval, the guy who's on this tape, he's already resigned.

00:09:42.000 And the guy he works for has already resigned as well.

00:09:44.000 So obviously, the Democrats know heads have to roll here, or they're going to be accountable for all of this.

00:09:50.000 So yes, voter fraud is very real.

00:09:54.000 Now, with that said, that's not the only kind of fraud that exists.

00:09:56.000 There's also media frauds.

00:09:58.000 The media have completely ignored all the bad things that are going on with Hillary Clinton.

00:10:02.000 WikiLeaks continue to come out demonstrating that Hillary is coordinating at very high levels with the media, that the Hillary campaign was coordinating at very high levels with the DOJ and the FBI.

00:10:11.000 That was a rigged investigation.

00:10:13.000 And as John Ashcroft, the former Attorney General of the United States, says, there's obviously evidence of a crime in the Clinton emails.

00:10:20.000 Donald Trump says this is felony corruption, and it is a quid pro quo.

00:10:27.000 Is it both?

00:10:30.000 Well, first of all, I'm not in a position to make... I haven't given a thorough investigation, but offering a public official a benefit in return for the public official making a concession of some kind is illegal.

00:10:46.000 And not only is it illegal if you're asking a public official to do something illegal, it can be bribery if you offer a public official an incentive, a benefit, in order to do something that is legal.

00:11:01.000 If you offered to pay him or to give him a benefit to issue a grant to you or to your organization.

00:11:07.000 Issuing grants is legal.

00:11:10.000 But it's not legal to offer a benefit in order to get it now.

00:11:14.000 This is 100% true, okay?

00:11:16.000 What Ashcroft is saying here is 100% true.

00:11:18.000 Obviously, there's evidence of a lot of illegal activity in Hillary Clinton's emails, and no one cares because the media are more focused on Donald Trump's shenanigans with women over the past 30 years.

00:11:27.000 They're also not that interested in Bill Clinton's shenanigans with women and the fact that Hillary Clinton helped cover those up and targeted the women involved.

00:11:34.000 There's apparently a new accuser who's now come forward today against Bill Clinton.

00:11:39.000 Yeah, I'm not sure that this is relevant to the presidential race unless there's evidence that Hillary tried to cover it up, but it just does demonstrate the media's level of interest when it comes to Bill Clinton is nil, and their level of interest when it comes to Donald Trump is extraordinarily high.

00:11:52.000 He started making inappropriate gestures.

00:11:55.000 We were responsible for editing our own stories, and we had a very small editing room.

00:12:01.000 And he had touched my shoulder and done other things to me before in public around other people, but that was just his nature to be very, you know, demonstrative and

00:12:13.000 Touchy-feely as I call it.

00:12:15.000 But he followed me into an editing room the first time I remember that it was very small.

00:12:22.000 There was a chair.

00:12:22.000 I was sitting in a chair.

00:12:24.000 He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders and running his hands down toward my breasts. 0.99

00:12:30.000 And I was just

00:12:52.000 It is true.

00:12:53.000 Elections are rigged in a couple of senses.

00:12:55.000 The media are very heavily favoring Democrats.

00:12:58.000 They have for 80 years.

00:12:59.000 That is true.

00:13:01.000 It is also true that there is voter fraud, although it doesn't exist on the scale of millions and millions and millions of votes.

00:13:06.000 It exists on the scale of probably tens of thousands of votes across the country.

00:13:10.000 At the very least, it exists in the case of thousands of votes across the country.

00:13:13.000 In a tight, tight election, that's going to matter a lot.

00:13:15.000 Now,

00:13:16.000 That said, that said, all that's legit to say, that said, what Donald Trump is saying about the rigging of this election is not correct.

00:13:22.000 So here is Donald Trump about the election, and I just want to, before we play this, I just want to point something out.

00:13:27.000 This is going to be the theme, because we're going to talk about the debate in a second.

00:13:30.000 I know there are a lot of people out there who are desperate to see Donald Trump win, who really want to see Donald Trump win.

00:13:35.000 There's a large part of me that would love to see Donald Trump win, just to stick it to the media, and to stick it to Hillary Clinton, and watch her weep as her life's ambitions crumble before her, because that would be really, really amusing.

00:13:44.000 For all the people who are rooting for Donald Trump to win, you care more about Donald Trump winning at this point than Donald Trump does.

00:13:50.000 I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings.

00:13:52.000 I hate to be the guy who brings you the reality.

00:13:55.000 As I say all the time, if you want to hear shows where they're going to tell you things that you want to hear, you can tune on over to a bunch of shows on Fox.

00:14:01.000 There's some syndicated radio shows that do the same thing.

00:14:03.000 I won't name names like Laura Ingraham or Sean Hannity.

00:14:05.000 They'll tell you what you want to hear, and they'll tell you that everything is hunky-dory, Trump's gonna win, he's gonna walk away with this thing, all of it is not real, all of it is not true.

00:14:13.000 You know, the elections are rigged, and when Donald Trump goes down in flames, that's because he was stabbed in the back.

00:14:18.000 Here is the truth.

00:14:19.000 Donald Trump now knows he's going to lose.

00:14:21.000 The polls are awful for him.

00:14:22.000 The national polls right now, the last three major head-to-head national polls, Fox News, Trump down seven.

00:14:27.000 There's a, I think it's a, is it a CBS poll?

00:14:29.000 Trump down 9.

00:14:31.000 And then there's a public PPRI poll from the Atlantic.

00:14:34.000 Trump down 15 points in a head-to-head 51 to 36.

00:14:36.000 He's getting brutalized in the polls.

00:14:39.000 He's not coming back.

00:14:40.000 And he's certainly not coming back with this particular strategy.

00:14:42.000 And here's the evidence that what I'm saying is true.

00:14:45.000 If Donald Trump wanted to win, he'd have to do all the things you think he needs to do.

00:14:49.000 He'd have to be disciplined.

00:14:50.000 He'd have to be focused.

00:14:52.000 He'd have to be very specific in his attacks on Hillary Clinton.

00:14:54.000 He would have to do a good job of deconstructing her in front of the American people.

00:14:58.000 Instead, Donald Trump is focusing all of his attention on how rigged everything is, because his real goal here is not to win anymore.

00:15:05.000 He's not going to, and he knows it.

00:15:06.000 His real goal here is to get two million of people like you and me, people like us, to believe that it was rigged, that the media did it,

00:15:14.000 That the voter fraud did it, that never Trump did it, that it was somebody who is not Trump.

00:15:18.000 And if you just stand by Donald Trump, he'll tell you the truth.

00:15:20.000 He's the great truth teller, the great victorious truth teller.

00:15:23.000 And the reason he went down in flames is not because of Donald Trump.

00:15:25.000 And for $10.99 a month, you too can be part of the team that's going to make America great again at Trump TV.

00:15:30.000 That's where this is going, OK?

00:15:31.000 This is all movement toward what happens after the election.

00:15:34.000 And what he's doing right now in this election cycle only makes sense.

00:15:38.000 It only makes sense if you see it in that light.

00:15:42.000 For example, he's supposed to bring to the debate tonight Barack Obama's half-brother.

00:15:48.000 How many votes is that going to win him?

00:15:49.000 Any?

00:15:50.000 What's that designed to accomplish, exactly?

00:15:53.000 And the answer is nothing.

00:15:54.000 It's not designed to accomplish anything, except it's supposed to get a lot of people who are conservative, people who are Republican, people who hate Hillary and hate Obama, to grin.

00:16:03.000 That's fine so far as it goes, but the man's running for President of the United States still.

00:16:06.000 It's still October.

00:16:07.000 It ain't November 8th yet.

00:16:09.000 When he's throwing red meat to his base, that obviously has no draw for anyone outside of his base.

00:16:13.000 That means he's appealing deliberately to his base.

00:16:16.000 His base is not going to drive him to victory in this election.

00:16:18.000 His base will pay $10 a month, a million of them $10 a month, at some Trump TV network, and he'll clear $120 million a year gross.

00:16:25.000 That's the goal here, okay?

00:16:26.000 This is now a business proposition.

00:16:28.000 It is no longer a political proposition.

00:16:30.000 And I'll explain

00:16:31.000 How I know that, and why Donald Trump continues to talk about all of this rigging in just a second.

00:16:38.000 But first, we have to say hello to our friends over at Trunk Club.

00:16:40.000 So, if you watched Megyn Kelly last week, I was on Megyn Kelly's show last week, and I was wearing a brand new snazzy khaki jacket.

00:16:47.000 And that jacket is really nice.

00:16:49.000 I got it from Trunk Club.

00:16:50.000 It was tailored, and it's beautiful.

00:16:52.000 It's a really nice jacket.

00:16:53.000 The jeans I'm wearing now, which are spectacular, the most comfortable jeans I own, I got those from Trunk Club, too, and they fit me really well.

00:16:59.000 I mean, everybody just goes around saying, man, you look fantastic in those jeans.

00:17:02.000 Let me tell you, everybody says this.

00:17:03.000 Everyone.

00:17:04.000 So everyone says that the clothes are really nice.

00:17:07.000 Trunk Club is great.

00:17:08.000 What they do is, you can actually go into their physical locations in Dallas, New York, L.A., Chicago, or Charleston, and they will have a personal stylist run through the rigmarole with you, like pick out clothes with you and help tailor things, and they'll do it for free.

00:17:21.000 And then you order the clothes, and they send you a trunk full of clothes that you can either accept or reject.

00:17:24.000 If you're not in any of those big cities, they have a personal stylist for you anyway,

00:17:28.000 You contact them, you can text with the person, you become friendly with the person, you can ask them to make outfits out of your current wardrobe and mix them with new items.

00:17:36.000 They send you a trunk, but it's not like a regular thing, it's only if you want.

00:17:39.000 So they send you the trunk, and then you can pick to keep what you want, and you can send back what you want, and the shipping is free.

00:17:44.000 It's trunkclub.com slash ben, trunkclub.com slash ben.

00:17:48.000 I actually do like dressing well, and if you like dressing well, even if you're a dude who doesn't care about dressing well, everybody else in business is gonna care whether you dress well.

00:17:56.000 Can make that happen. 0.81

00:17:57.000 Better to have a few really, really nice items than a bunch of crap that you got at some big box store.

00:18:02.000 So trunkclub.com slash ben is the place to go.

00:18:05.000 And their service is great.

00:18:06.000 I mean, I've taken advantage of it.

00:18:08.000 We have a lot of great advertisers, from whom I actually spend my own money purchasing product.

00:18:13.000 And trunkclub.com is one of them.

00:18:15.000 So trunkclub.com slash ben.

00:18:17.000 And make sure that you add the slash ben, because that ensures that they know that we sent you.

00:18:21.000 OK, before we break here,

00:18:22.000 I'm going to play this clip of Donald Trump talking about rigging, because some things are rigged and some things are not.

00:18:27.000 What Donald Trump has made a habit of doing is destroying conservative arguments by mouthing the arguments in the wrong context.

00:18:33.000 So Donald Trump will make arguments about how the media is biased, but he'll do it in the context of the media actually telling the truth.

00:18:39.000 Or Donald Trump will be talking about how the left is race baiting, but he'll do it in the context of him race baiting.

00:18:44.000 And so what he's saying is true, but the context

00:18:47.000 Right, right.

00:19:12.000 Uh, and Paul Ryan gets up and issues a memo that he disagrees that the election's rigged.

00:19:17.000 Why doesn't he walk over to Philadelphia and St.

00:19:19.000 Louis and Chicago and some of these cities?

00:19:22.000 Uh, and, and how, how could he say the election is, look, nothing's perfect, but this process is unbelievable.

00:19:30.000 And it's certainly rigged with the press.

00:19:33.000 So why would he issue a memo that the election said, is he naive?

00:19:37.000 Because that's naivete, or maybe something worse than that.

00:19:41.000 Lack of street smarts, as you said last night in Wisconsin.

00:19:43.000 I don't know what it is, but you know, when you go to Philadelphia, where Romney got zero votes, where McCain got zero votes.

00:19:49.000 Okay, so he says about Philadelphia, and there are precincts where McCain and Romney got zero votes.

00:19:53.000 I think it was 59 precincts out of 1,700, something like that, in Philadelphia.

00:19:58.000 Hugh Hewitt made a good case against this sort of voter fraud.

00:20:01.000 All the, you know, this idea that it's widespread, he's going to lose by 15%, but it's all voter fraud.

00:20:07.000 Again, this discredits the argument.

00:20:09.000 There is real rigging.

00:20:10.000 It's rigging from the media that is far to the left.

00:20:12.000 It's rigging in the terms of actual voter fraud that exists on a relatively small scale, but yes, it exists, and yes, we should be concerned about all of that.

00:20:21.000 Okay?

00:20:21.000 But it doesn't help when you have a guy who's going to lose by 15, and then people are going to say it's rigged.

00:20:25.000 Okay? 1.00

00:20:25.000 It sounds like a stupid conspiracy theory, because it is a stupid conspiracy theory. 1.00

00:20:29.000 Here's Donald Trump saying the same thing. 1.00

00:20:33.000 We'll do that in a second.

00:20:34.000 First, we have to say goodbye to the folks on Facebook and YouTube.

00:20:39.000 We have a cool new deal for you.

00:20:41.000 I didn't pitch it yet.

00:20:41.000 I have a new novel.

00:20:42.000 It comes out November 1st.

00:20:43.000 But if you want it now, and if you want it signed, go to Daily Wire and become an annual subscriber.

00:20:48.000 Right now, $8 a month makes you a subscriber to dailywire.com.

00:20:53.000 You can watch the rest of the podcast live.

00:20:55.000 You can see it.

00:20:56.000 You can be part of the mailbag, which we do on Thursdays here on The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:21:00.000 And you can also, right now, for a special limited time, you can also get my book.

00:21:05.000 It's called True Allegiance, and you can get it signed.

00:21:08.000 And it's recommended by Brad Thor.

00:21:09.000 Even people who are big fans of Trump, like Ann Coulter, say it's a good book.

00:21:12.000 So whether you like Trump or whether you don't like Trump, that's irrelevant to the book itself.

00:21:16.000 It's an action novel.

00:21:17.000 Sort of, if you took everything in the United States and ramped it up,

00:21:22.000 By a factor of about three.

00:21:23.000 That's what this book is.

00:21:24.000 True Allegiance.

00:21:25.000 And you can get a copy of that for free, signed, when you go and subscribe at dailywire.com.

00:21:30.000 And we are the biggest podcast, biggest conservative podcast in the United States.

00:21:35.000 So thank you for that.

00:21:41.000 So, Trump's entire schtick right now is rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged.

00:21:44.000 That's all he wants to talk about.

00:21:45.000 Everything in the world is rigged.

00:21:48.000 Everything in the world is rigged.

00:21:49.000 So here is Donald Trump continuing along these lines.

00:21:51.000 Of course, everything is rigged.

00:21:53.000 Everything is rigged.

00:21:55.000 Now, even though we're doing pretty good in the polls, I don't believe the polls anymore.

00:22:00.000 I don't believe them.

00:22:02.000 I don't believe them.

00:22:03.000 And if there's ten, and if there's one or two bad ones, that's the only one they show.

00:22:07.000 Believe me, folks.

00:22:09.000 We're doing great.

00:22:10.000 If we keep our spirit, and if we go out and win, this is another Brexit, believe me.

00:22:15.000 They are so worried.

00:22:17.000 That's why they become vicious and hostile and dirty. 0.94

00:22:22.000 Okay.

00:22:23.000 The polls are not rigged.

00:22:24.000 If you believe the polls are rigged, you're listening to too much Bill Mitchell.

00:22:27.000 And I don't know why you would do that if you have five brain cells to rub together, okay?

00:22:30.000 This idea the polls are rigged, this discredits the entire argument. 0.98

00:22:33.000 When you say the media's rigged, the polls are rigged, the elections are rigged, the media are rigged, but when you say the polls are rigged, you sound like a fool and you discredit the rest of the argument. 0.97

00:22:41.000 Right? 0.92

00:22:41.000 And I love when he says, they cherry pick a couple of polls. 0.92

00:22:44.000 Okay, I'm about to read you.

00:22:45.000 You ready for this?

00:22:46.000 Here we go.

00:22:46.000 I'm gonna give you all of the general election head-to-head Trump vs. Clinton polls from RealClearPolitics.

00:22:51.000 Okay, this is all of them.

00:22:52.000 You ready?

00:22:53.000 Here are the last 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 polls.

00:22:55.000 Okay, last 11 polls in head-to-head.

00:22:57.000 Clinton plus 10, Clinton plus 4, Clinton plus 8, Clinton plus 11, Clinton plus 12, Clinton plus 4, Clinton plus 9, Clinton plus 3, Clinton plus 7, Clinton plus 4.

00:23:09.000 Okay, those are not good polls for Donald Trump.

00:23:12.000 And there's another poll that was out today that had him down 15.

00:23:14.000 15.

00:23:14.000 And I'm going to make a prediction right here, and that prediction is that Trump is actually going to underperform how he's doing in the polls because he has no ground game.

00:23:23.000 The reason that I say that is because Mitt Romney underperformed the polls because Barack Obama's ground game was better than his.

00:23:29.000 Mitt Romney's ground game makes

00:23:32.000 Donald Trump's ground game look like nothing.

00:23:34.000 I mean it's just it's it's the it's the it's it he's got no ground game and I'm talking to people on the ground in these states.

00:23:39.000 He's got no ground game so he's he just keeps claiming rigging and again the goal of saying that it's rigged is that he can blame everybody else.

00:23:45.000 He can blame never Trump.

00:23:46.000 Okay there are five of us left honestly.

00:23:48.000 It's so that he can blame the media. 0.65

00:23:50.000 Okay, the media deserve blame, but not for Trump stinking as a candidate.

00:23:53.000 Mike Pence actually hits correctly.

00:23:56.000 He says that the media are rigging it.

00:23:58.000 Now, if this were the message, if this were the message, it would make more sense, but this hasn't been Trump's message.

00:24:02.000 So the good message that Pence is pushing is being lost in the bad message that Trump is pushing.

00:24:06.000 I have to tell you, it really is astonishing to most Americans that as these unsubstantiated allegations are treated with an enormous amount of coverage on this network and other networks, that revelations coming out of Secretary of State Clinton's years in the State Department and the Clinton Foundation are virtually ignored by the national media.

00:24:25.000 I mean, we discovered this week

00:24:27.000 That state department officials actually directed contracts for the Haitian recovery after the earthquake to friends of the Clintons.

00:24:36.000 And literally, that got almost no media attention while those that stepped forward with these unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump has denied,

00:24:46.000 We're treated with headline news and continuous coverage.

00:24:49.000 It's one of the reasons why so many Americans feel like this election is being rigged by a national media that's constantly trying to change the subject away from and practice willful ignorance toward the corruption and misdeeds and pay-for-play politics.

00:25:05.000 Okay, and what he's saying there is 100% true.

00:25:07.000 The media are ignoring real allegations about Hillary Clinton in order to cover all these other allegations about Trump.

00:25:12.000 Now, the allegations about Trump may be true.

00:25:14.000 Okay, and where there's smoke, in my opinion, there tends to be fire.

00:25:18.000 But that doesn't mean the media have been fair in their coverage.

00:25:20.000 They certainly have not.

00:25:21.000 Here's an example.

00:25:21.000 Pence points out that there was a bombing of a GOP office, I believe it's in North Carolina, and a couple of other offices had their windows broken.

00:25:29.000 And Pence points out that, can you imagine if supposed Trump supporters had burned down a Democratic Party precinct office?

00:25:41.000 Can you imagine?

00:25:41.000 It would never end, right?

00:25:42.000 I mean, this would be the Nazis are taking over, the Trump Nazis are taking over, they're going to destroy everything.

00:25:47.000 This happened.

00:25:48.000 I haven't seen news coverage of this across the world at all.

00:25:51.000 I mean, NBC News covered it a little bit, but it certainly hasn't led the news in any real way.

00:25:55.000 Here's Mike Pence talking about it.

00:25:57.000 My wife and I were in North Carolina today and I wanted to come by to call attention to this cowardly attack on our supporters in North Carolina and to no less extent an attack on the American political system.

00:26:14.000 This was an act of political terrorism and I have to tell you how inspired I am to see the way this community has come together and people have come together

00:26:24.000 To continue to move forward undeterred, unintimidated.

00:26:30.000 Okay, so he's exactly right about all of this.

00:26:35.000 Now, you know, the media's rigged, it's true.

00:26:38.000 Again, so what do the Democrats do with all of this? 0.99

00:26:41.000 What the Democrats do is they do what you knew they were going to do, because they're not stupid, okay? 1.00

00:26:44.000 They may be evil, but they're not stupid. 1.00

00:26:46.000 So what the Democrats do, Barack Obama says to Trump, look, you keep talking rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged, stop whining. 1.00

00:26:51.000 Stop whining!

00:26:52.000 You start whining before the game's even over?

00:26:59.000 If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job.

00:27:09.000 Because there are a lot of times when things don't go our way, or my way.

00:27:17.000 That's okay.

00:27:18.000 You fight through it.

00:27:19.000 You work through it.

00:27:20.000 Okay, so there's so much that's galling about this.

00:27:23.000 Number one, Barack Obama playing the mature statesman.

00:27:26.000 You never blame other people for things that happen.

00:27:28.000 Oh, really?

00:27:30.000 Oh, really?

00:27:31.000 His entire presidency has been a series of horrible events, followed by him blaming everybody but himself.

00:27:36.000 Oh, the American people.

00:27:38.000 They just didn't understand what I was trying to say.

00:27:40.000 When I said you got to keep your doctor, what I meant was, you don't get to keep your doctor.

00:27:44.000 If only they'd understood that. 1.00

00:27:45.000 But they're stupid. 1.00

00:27:46.000 They're a bunch of bitter clingers. 1.00

00:27:47.000 Idiots. 1.00

00:27:48.000 If Fox News hadn't been running out that propaganda, people wouldn't believe any of these terrible things they say about me. 1.00

00:28:03.000 So they're constantly blaming people, but when he says this, when he says Trump's only complaining because he's losing, he's right.

00:28:09.000 He's right.

00:28:10.000 Okay, and the problem is it discredits the entire rigged argument about the media and about voter fraud and all the rest of it when the guy who's uttering the argument is only doing so when he says the polls are rigged and when he's losing by 15 points, when he's losing by 10, 12, 15 points.

00:28:24.000 Okay, it undermines the entire argument.

00:28:26.000 And this is the problem, again, with Trumpism.

00:28:27.000 Trump corrupts every decent argument we've got.

00:28:30.000 He goes out there and he articulates these arguments, but he only does so for his own personal benefit.

00:28:35.000 I mean, you can see it happening in real time.

00:28:37.000 Here's Jake Tapper of CNN talking to Rudy Giuliani, and he's talking about the rigging of elections, and here's Tapper going after Giuliani.

00:28:44.000 That's one of the areas where people only voted for Obama, just like in Utah, there are places that only voted for Romney.

00:28:50.000 Maybe there are situations in which it's right.

00:28:54.000 I remember a case when I was Associate Attorney General where 720 dead people voted in Chicago in the 1982 election.

00:29:01.000 I remember in my own election about 60 dead people voted.

00:29:05.000 So I can't sit here and tell you that they don't cheat.

00:29:09.000 And I know because they control the polling places in these areas, there are no Republicans, that it's very hard to get people there who will challenge votes.

00:29:20.000 So what they do is they leave dead people on the rolls.

00:29:24.000 And then they pay people to vote those dead people.

00:29:26.000 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

00:29:30.000 We have to go, Mr. Mayor, but just to put a button on this, it sounds as though you are saying that Trump is serious when he says that the election is going to be stalled.

00:29:38.000 No, I'm not saying that!

00:29:39.000 You just laid out a whole case about how Democrats steal elections.

00:29:42.000 Look, if she wins Illinois by 8%, or he wins Illinois by 8%, then that cheating isn't going to make any difference.

00:29:51.000 If he wins Pennsylvania by five or she wins by five, it'll make no difference.

00:29:55.000 If it's a one or two point race, it could make a difference in a few places.

00:29:59.000 Not going to make a difference in Indiana.

00:30:01.000 Not going to make a difference in North Carolina.

00:30:03.000 Not going to make a difference in a lot of other places.

00:30:07.000 That's not an affirmation of the way our elections are held in this country.

00:30:11.000 But we do cheat!

00:30:12.000 We have people who cheat in elections.

00:30:14.000 You're saying only Democrats cheat.

00:30:17.000 I've found very few situations where Republicans cheat.

00:30:20.000 They don't control the inner cities the way Democrats do.

00:30:23.000 Maybe if Republicans control the inner cities.

00:30:25.000 They do as much cheating as Democrats.

00:30:27.000 I think there are a lot of elections experts that would have very, very strong disagreements with you.

00:30:33.000 They never prosecuted election fraud.

00:30:35.000 Okay, so the problem here is that what Giuliani is saying about the reality of election fraud is still true, and you can't name a large-scale situation in which Republican election fraud defeated a Democrat, can you?

00:30:46.000 It's almost impossible.

00:30:47.000 I can't name one.

00:30:48.000 Can you?

00:30:49.000 But the problem is that this entire argument gets discredited when the guy making the argument and the people making the argument are arguing on behalf of a guy who's going to get creamed.

00:30:56.000 Okay?

00:30:56.000 You can't say that you were—if you—this is the—honestly, it's the Menendez Brothers joke, right?

00:31:02.000 You can't kill your parents and then fall in the mercy of the court because you're an orphan.

00:31:06.000 If you lose by 15, you can't say, oh, well, it must have been the voter fraud that did it. 0.99

00:31:09.000 Maybe it's because you were just a crappy candidate. 0.91

00:31:11.000 When Donna Brazile, you know, the head of the DNC, when she comes out and she says that Trump's rigged claim here is tactical, 0.98

00:31:17.000 This rings truer than when Trump says the thing is rigged.

00:31:20.000 Do you think it's actually dangerous?

00:31:22.000 Do you think it's strategic in any way?

00:31:25.000 I think it is tactical.

00:31:26.000 Look, voting is the lifeblood of our democracy.

00:31:29.000 And when you have Secretary of State, Republican Secretary of State say, hello, we are conducting a free, fair, open and honest election.

00:31:38.000 When you have board of election officials, when you have others who have been deeply involved in preparing for election day.

00:31:45.000 Many of them are scratching their heads and they're saying, what is he talking about?

00:31:49.000 I think every time that Donald Trump faced some scrutiny or is challenged by Secretary Clinton on his policy ideas or releasing his taxes, he'd go to these tactics to try to frighten people, divide people.

00:32:01.000 He's run a very divisive campaign.

00:32:03.000 It's time that he makes a better closing argument than calling upon, I guess, calling out our election process.

00:32:10.000 Okay, so I don't think that this is going to break into violence. 0.97

00:32:12.000 I think this is the media exaggerating everything, because the only violence I've seen this year has been in Democratic cities, with Black Lives Matter burning crap down, or people associated with Black Lives Matter burning crap down.

00:32:22.000 But, you know, it's still, this is a bad argument, and we're going into the final debate. 0.68

00:32:27.000 We still have 20 days to this election, and Trump's already conceding.

00:32:29.000 So, what does that mean for the debate tonight?

00:32:31.000 So, we have the debate tonight. 0.98

00:32:32.000 That means that tonight is going to be an absolute crap fest. 0.97

00:32:36.000 I mean, tonight is just going to be 0.99

00:32:38.000 A dog vomiting into a fan and then it hitting everybody in the audience.

00:32:41.000 That's what tonight's gonna be.

00:32:42.000 It's going to be urine down the... I can't come up with enough terrible bodily fluids jokes to explain how bad tonight is going to be because it's gonna be Donald Trump getting up there and saying every crazy thing that the Breitbart commenters want him to say because those are all potential subscribers to Trump TV.

00:32:58.000 That's where this is going.

00:33:00.000 And you can tell that that's where this is going.

00:33:03.000 Earlier this week, the Trump campaign trotted out Melania to try and rebut all of these accusers.

00:33:07.000 And watch Melania Trump.

00:33:08.000 I mean, if this is the direction the campaign is going, good night, gang.

00:33:15.000 I said to my husband that, you know, the language is inappropriate.

00:33:20.000 It's not acceptable.

00:33:22.000 And I was surprised because that is not the man that I know.

00:33:29.000 And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on.

00:33:34.000 It was only a mic.

00:33:37.000 And I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on.

00:33:43.000 Because they were kind of a boy talk.

00:33:47.000 And he was lead on, like egg on, from the host to say,

00:33:57.000 Yes.

00:33:57.000 No.

00:34:08.000 No, that's why I was surprised.

00:34:10.000 Because I said, like, I don't know that person that would talk that way.

00:34:14.000 Give me up.

00:34:15.000 Oh, give me up.

00:34:16.000 Okay, stop.

00:34:16.000 Okay, I can't.

00:34:17.000 I can't.

00:34:18.000 Okay, she went on Howard Stern's show and they talked about jointly watching Paris Hilton sex tape together.

00:34:23.000 Or at least Trump said that they did.

00:34:25.000 Okay, she tells the story of them meeting.

00:34:27.000 He had a girl with him at the time.

00:34:29.000 And then he sent the girl to the bathroom so he could hit up Melania. 1.00

00:34:32.000 Melania pretending that Donald Trump's a class act with women.

00:34:34.000 I mean, if this is how this thing is going to go, good night, gang.

00:34:38.000 And then meanwhile, you got Hillary trotting out people like Mark Cuban. 0.99

00:34:41.000 Mark Cuban is coming to the debate tonight.

00:34:42.000 That's Hillary's final attempt to psych out Donald Trump about his own wealth. 1.00

00:34:46.000 Mark Cuban is showing up and he says he knows two women that Donald Trump harassed.

00:34:49.000 So this is just a party for everybody.

00:34:53.000 Do you know him, right?

00:34:56.000 We're not best friends, but we're more than acquaintances, I would say.

00:34:59.000 Have you ever heard of anything like these women coming forward or him being untoward?

00:35:03.000 Yes.

00:35:04.000 You have?

00:35:05.000 Yes, and I know one.

00:35:07.000 And it just didn't happen recently.

00:35:10.000 My friend reminded me, and it was from 2000.

00:35:16.000 And she, you know, I don't expect her to come forward.

00:35:18.000 I wouldn't recommend she come forward.

00:35:21.000 I know somebody else from two years ago that won't come forward.

00:35:24.000 So, you know, it's not anything that caught me by surprise.

00:35:30.000 So, again, this is you saying this is not CNN's reporting, but tell us what you can since you know him.

00:35:35.000 What can you tell us?

00:35:35.000 I mean, that's what I can tell you.

00:35:36.000 I can tell you, Athena, my friend that was dating this one woman, you know, just

00:35:41.000 You know, remind me the story they told me right after it happened.

00:36:02.000 Well, in my younger days, I was an athlete.

00:36:03.000 Football, baseball.

00:36:04.000 Of course, I was in a lot of raunchy gyms when I was fighting.

00:36:33.000 You know, we... No one talked that way.

00:36:36.000 No one.

00:36:37.000 You'd be picking a fight with somebody, you know?

00:36:40.000 That stuff left us in elementary school when you didn't understand what life was all about.

00:36:45.000 We have now ten women that we know have come forward that he sexually assaulted them.

00:36:49.000 You know, this is a crime.

00:36:53.000 You think he's committed a crime?

00:36:55.000 I don't know.

00:36:56.000 You have to have somebody file a complaint.

00:36:58.000 You can't do it without someone having nothing.

00:37:01.000 These are people who are trapped.

00:37:03.000 They are with this man and

00:37:12.000 He just rolls off of Harry Reid.

00:37:15.000 We're supposed to believe that he cares so deeply about all these victimized women.

00:37:19.000 Okay, again, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, you're supporting them.

00:37:23.000 So that's what this debate is going to be tonight from the Hillary side. 0.99

00:37:26.000 Meanwhile, again, Trump has no interest in winning anymore.

00:37:29.000 He only has interest in bilking the people who he thinks he can keep loyal to him after he gets shellacked.

00:37:34.000 And so Steve Bannon, apparently, who's the campaign CEO, who only wants to burn things down and make money—that's what Steve Bannon is all about—Bannon apparently told CNN that there's another surprise guest coming.

00:37:44.000 First—the first surprise guest, by the way, is Obama's half-brother, which makes—like, what?

00:37:49.000 Unless—unless the—like, this guy.

00:37:51.000 What?

00:37:52.000 Just—what?

00:37:53.000 Huh?

00:37:55.000 Really?

00:37:56.000 But why?

00:37:57.000 I mean, like, I don't understand what the angle here is.

00:37:59.000 Is the angle that he has a half-brother that his daddy was a bad guy?

00:38:02.000 Like, yeah, we knew his daddy was a bad guy.

00:38:04.000 Obama talks about it in his memoir, although he tries to paint a good gloss on it.

00:38:08.000 You know, he's trying to claim that his half-brother supports Trump. 0.96

00:38:12.000 This is the deepest kind of WorldNet Daily Breitbart InfoWars crap ever. 0.97

00:38:17.000 Unless he drops—I would be amused if he drops a birth certificate. 0.96

00:38:20.000 If he just gets up there and he takes out a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama and says, you've been ripping me about birth—

00:38:25.000 You've been ripping me about birtherism, but let me show you something.

00:38:29.000 It's this!

00:38:29.000 Dun-dun-dun!

00:38:31.000 And it's the birth certificate.

00:38:32.000 That would be amusing.

00:38:33.000 But I don't think that that's what's going to happen. 0.97

00:38:35.000 I think this is just a way for him to suggest that there's some great conspiracy out there, and the half-brother, and it's like, okay, we're gonna just come up with as much crazy crap as you can bring. 0.99

00:38:43.000 So Bannon apparently told CNN that this is only the appetizer on this entire poo-poo platter of crap. 0.99

00:38:50.000 That's right. 0.97

00:38:51.000 The New York Times reporting overnight that they will not have that handshake.

00:38:54.000 Remember in the last debate, Bill Clinton and Ivanka Trump came out, they shook hands, excuse me, Melania Trump shook hands beforehand.

00:39:01.000 This time they'll be avoiding that.

00:39:03.000 The Clinton campaign reportedly does not want to have that family interaction because they're concerned about who the Trump campaign might be bringing to the debate.

00:39:10.000 And I think they have reason to be concerned about that.

00:39:13.000 We're good to go.

00:39:29.000 Well, they have the Benghazi mom, right? 0.62

00:39:31.000 That's right.

00:39:33.000 One of the mothers of one of the Benghazi victims will be there.

00:39:35.000 We also know on the Clinton side, Mark Cuban and Meg Whitman will be in the audience.

00:39:39.000 But Bannon said they have other people who will expose Bill and Hillary Clinton's sordid past.

00:39:44.000 We'll find out what that means, I suppose, later today.

00:39:48.000 OK, and my theory was, and if I had money I would have put it on it, my theory was that he was going to bring Bill's supposedly illegitimate child.

00:39:56.000 Anybody think he's going to do that?

00:39:58.000 Right?

00:39:58.000 I mean, if he's going to, Obama's half-brother, who thinks he's going to bring Bill's—remember, Drudge was headlining this, right?

00:40:04.000 So this is the new thing.

00:40:05.000 Is he going to bring Bill's illegitimate child?

00:40:07.000 Maybe.

00:40:08.000 That would be hilarious.

00:40:09.000 I mean, we might as well just go all the way down.

00:40:12.000 How much further do we have to go down here?

00:40:14.000 I mean, this is like the sixth circle of hell already, so why not go all the way?

00:40:17.000 And then he can say, look, the media wouldn't even cover his illegitimate child!

00:40:21.000 The media wouldn't even cover it.

00:40:22.000 That's why we know it's rigged.

00:40:23.000 Because Bill's condom wasn't rigged.

00:40:25.000 That's how we know it's rigged.

00:40:27.000 So, yes, he has no intention of winning anymore.

00:40:32.000 And again, you want to vote for him, vote for him.

00:40:34.000 If you think he's the best choice, vote for him.

00:40:36.000 If you think he's a better choice than Hillary, vote for him.

00:40:38.000 But you have more faith in Trump than Trump has.

00:40:40.000 You care more about this election than Trump does.

00:40:42.000 You think worse things are going to happen with Hillary Clinton as president than Trump does, obviously, otherwise he wouldn't be running what is a campaign that's a business decision now.

00:40:49.000 It's just a campaign that's a business decision.

00:40:52.000 Okay, so, let's do some things I like and things I hate, and then we'll do a little bit of bibble.

00:40:57.000 So, things I like.

00:40:58.000 I already showed you something that I like.

00:41:00.000 It is this.

00:41:01.000 My own book!

00:41:02.000 You got it.

00:41:03.000 So I don't make a habit of, I haven't really been pushing this book hard until now.

00:41:06.000 Now you're gonna get it up the wazoo, so I hope you enjoy.

00:41:09.000 But, you should, if you want to, subscribe to dailywire.com.

00:41:11.000 You get

00:41:12.000 My new novel, True Allegiance, which is an action thriller, you get that free, with an autograph, from yours truly, if you go to dailywire.com right now and you subscribe, which is a pretty good deal.

00:41:25.000 It is a good book, OK?

00:41:26.000 Some of my books are better than others.

00:41:27.000 This one is a good book.

00:41:28.000 It's a really quick read.

00:41:29.000 It's a really fun read.

00:41:31.000 If I do say so myself, it is a brilliant authorial debut in the fiction sphere.

00:41:35.000 It's that good.

00:41:36.000 It's good.

00:41:36.000 It's good stuff.

00:41:37.000 So, True Allegiance is the name of the book.

00:41:38.000 You can also get it at Amazon.com.

00:41:41.000 I think it's available on—not Kindle yet.

00:41:44.000 I think it's available on audio, but if you pre-order it right now, then it'll be available very, very shortly.

00:41:50.000 So, True Allegiance is the name of the book.

00:41:53.000 And even people who are Trumpers like it.

00:41:55.000 Ann Coulter likes it.

00:41:56.000 Alan West likes it.

00:41:58.000 Brad Thor recommends it, the author of Code of Conduct and all the best action novels, Brad Thor.

00:42:02.000 He says it's a blockbuster debut thriller ripped straight from the headlines, which it is.

00:42:06.000 It is spectacularly good.

00:42:07.000 So, go to Amazon, pick it up there, or better yet, go and subscribe at Daily Wire and turn your audio listening experience into a visual experience, plus get a copy of my book, Autographed.

00:42:18.000 Okay, time for some things that I hate.

00:42:20.000 Let's do it.

00:42:24.000 So, Chuck Schumer, who is going to be the new Senate Majority Leader if the Democrats win—he's a senator from New York—he went off on Trump over the last couple of days, and he said that Donald Trump's campaign and its tolerance of racism, it's just toxic.

00:42:39.000 It's just terrible.

00:42:40.000 You've known Donald Trump for a long time.

00:42:43.000 He's been a donor of yours.

00:42:44.000 Is this the person that you have always known, or has something surprised you?

00:42:48.000 What's surprised me is more so.

00:42:50.000 Everyone knew he had a big ego.

00:42:51.000 Everyone knew that he would just sort of like to talk about himself.

00:42:56.000 But the extreme of it surprised me.

00:43:01.000 He likes to say that when he donates to politicians, he owns them and they do what he wants.

00:43:06.000 Did he own you?

00:43:07.000 No.

00:43:08.000 I don't recall him ever asking me for something.

00:43:11.000 Yesterday, he was talking about...

00:43:28.000 Shocking!

00:43:28.000 The minute that he switched sides and doesn't give you money anymore, then he becomes the world's worst person.

00:43:33.000 But when you knew him, it turned out that he was Saint Francis of Assisi.

00:43:37.000 And then it turns out the minute he flipped, all of a sudden he turns into the devil.

00:43:39.000 It's just amazing how that works.

00:43:40.000 We can continue.

00:43:42.000 ...a conspiracy to stop him.

00:43:44.000 Yeah.

00:43:45.000 He used terms referring to Hillary Clinton and international bankers that some people historically have associated with anti-Semitism.

00:43:54.000 Yeah. 0.90

00:43:54.000 He is totally tone-deaf. 0.90

00:43:58.000 To what is racism, what is bigotry, and I wouldn't accuse him of being a racist or bigot himself.

00:44:05.000 But he tolerates it and uses it in ways, whether he's aware or not, it's poisonous for America.

00:44:13.000 Okay, so here's what I hate about that.

00:44:14.000 Some of that is true.

00:44:16.000 That's the part I hate.

00:44:17.000 Okay, the part that I hate today is that Chuck Schumer is not speaking something that's entirely false.

00:44:22.000 Now, the other thing that I hate is that the Democratic Party does the same thing. 0.95

00:44:24.000 The Democratic Party rapes, baits. 0.98

00:44:26.000 I'm old enough to remember when the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, went out there and said that Mitt Romney was literally going to enslave black people again. 0.98

00:44:32.000 He was going to put y'all back in chains.

00:44:34.000 The Democratic Party does this sort of stuff all the time.

00:44:36.000 They race bait.

00:44:38.000 They suggest that white people are out to get you.

00:44:40.000 Hillary Clinton has said in this campaign that she needs to reeducate all the whites in America about racism and institutional bias and implicit bias. 1.00

00:44:49.000 Democrats do this sort of stuff all the time.

00:44:51.000 Normally, I like being on the moral side of the aisle.

00:44:54.000 So, I used to say, well, we don't do that.

00:44:56.000 That's what Democrats do. 1.00

00:44:57.000 Democrats pander on racial, tribal terms.

00:45:00.000 And when Chuck Schumer says that Trump appeals to this group of people, and he does so either knowingly or unknowingly, there is some truth to that.

00:45:07.000 There is truth to that.

00:45:08.000 As somebody who received, apparently—there were 20,000 anti-Semitic tweets directed at journalists since March.

00:45:15.000 I was the recipient, personally, of 8,000 of those tweets.

00:45:18.000 Okay, so when you look at the top 10, we don't have the chart with us today, maybe we'll have it tomorrow.

00:45:21.000 If you look at the top 10 journalists targeted on Twitter by anti-Semites, by Jew hatred, the bar graph looks like, you know, low, low, low, low, and then me, I'm way out here.

00:45:31.000 And the reason for that is because I don't back Trump.

00:45:33.000 If I back Trump, that number would not be nearly as high in any real way.

00:45:39.000 What I hate is the fact that both sides have now become tribal.

00:45:41.000 It used to be one side was tribal, and that was evil and nasty, and now the Trump campaign has moved into tribal territory by pandering to the alt-right, and that's really gross, and that's something I hate.

00:45:50.000 Meanwhile, another thing that I hate, Julia Roberts, all these actresses who think that we need their opinions on politics, it's really galling. 1.00

00:45:58.000 I mean, the lady's not even a good actress, and here she is telling us about 1.00

00:46:02.000 Hillary Clinton, how wonderful she is.

00:46:04.000 This is at a Broadway for Hillary fundraiser.

00:46:07.000 Because, in case you needed to know, folks, the cast of Rent loves Hillary Clinton.

00:46:11.000 Shocker.

00:46:12.000 Here is Julia Roberts doing her routine. 1.00

00:46:15.000 I was going to sing what Hugh Jackman sang. 0.83

00:46:22.000 But he f***ed that up.

00:46:29.000 Wait, when you're live streaming on Facebook, can you say that?

00:46:35.000 Wouldn't it be great for every time an actor, so scared and out of their element, said, you just had to like instantly give $500?

00:46:44.000 Let's, okay, let's make that what goes on right now.

00:46:53.000 What is she talking about now?

00:46:55.000 This is why you should never let actresses off script. 0.84

00:46:57.000 I don't know.

00:46:58.000 I'm just saying.

00:46:59.000 I've been dragged out here.

00:47:01.000 I'm scared and tired.

00:47:04.000 Oh, my kids are watching this!

00:47:06.000 So, for every bad mother that says the F word, could all the mothers that relate just $500?

00:47:24.000 Yes, bad mothers for Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:47:25.000 I think that about sums it up right there.

00:47:27.000 If you're a bad mother and you curse in front of your children, or better yet, if you abandon your children, make sure that you give money to Hillary Clinton. 0.58

00:47:33.000 That seems like a great pitch for Hollywood.

00:47:37.000 Again, the fact that Hollywood has impact in our culture is the reason that you have this particular scenario, this Trump versus Hillary celebrity fest.

00:47:46.000 And we're going to get the final revenge tonight in this debate.

00:47:49.000 The final revenge of celebrity culture when the guy from The Apprentice stars against the former first lady and star of Bill Clinton's sex fest.

00:47:57.000 So, good times.

00:47:58.000 All right.

00:47:58.000 A little bit of Bible talk because it is a Wednesday indeed.

00:48:02.000 So, this week, technically, the Jews finished the Bible. 0.78

00:48:06.000 We finally finished going through the five books of Moses.

00:48:09.000 We do that on Simchat Torah, which is next week, so I'll be off Monday-Tuesday for Simchat Torah on a holiday called Shemini Atzeret.

00:48:15.000 Don't worry, it won't be on the test, I won't ask you later.

00:48:17.000 But, we technically finish the Bible then, but we won't have a chance to actually do the last portion of the five books of Moses unless we do it now.

00:48:25.000 So, the final parasha, the final portion of the five books of Moses is called V'zot Habracha, meaning this is the blessing, and it's Moses' final word to the Jews, and then it is the final

00:48:37.000 The final words of the five books of Moses before you enter into the prophets and Joshua entering the land.

00:48:41.000 So this is from Deuteronomy 34.

00:48:43.000 This is some of the final sentences of the Torah.

00:48:46.000 It really is moving.

00:48:47.000 It says, And the Lord said to him, this is to Moses, This is the land I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your offspring. 0.53

00:48:53.000 I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there. 1.00

00:48:56.000 And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab by the mouth of the Lord.

00:49:00.000 And he buried him in the valley.

00:49:01.000 God buried him in the valley, in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor. 0.96

00:49:04.000 And no person knows the place of his burial unto this day.

00:49:07.000 And it really is moving.

00:49:09.000 I mean, you go through this entire cycle where Moses takes this stiff-necked people out of Egypt and takes them through the desert, and they're constantly rebelling, and they're constantly driving him crazy, and they're constantly doing things that slap God directly in the face.

00:49:23.000 And Moses is constantly standing up for them, but also standing up for God.

00:49:28.000 I mean, there's a point in the Torah where 0.99

00:49:30.000 God says to Moses, I'll just kill off all these people, make your kids the new nation. 1.00

00:49:32.000 And Moses says, if you do that, I want you to blot my name out of this book, which is an amazing thing. 0.95

00:49:36.000 And so finally, it comes time for Moses to die, and God doesn't let him into what he's always wanted to see, which is the land of Israel.

00:49:43.000 He says, you can see it from here, but you can't cross over.

00:49:45.000 And that image is so moving, just him on the top of this mountain looking across, and he can see where he can't go.

00:49:51.000 And the truth is, that's life.

00:49:52.000 There's nobody who dies

00:49:54.000 We're good.

00:50:24.000 And it says that he dies by the mouth of the Lord, Al-Pi Hashem. 0.97

00:50:28.000 Hashem is what we call God, it means literally the name, because we don't like to speak God's name in vain.

00:50:33.000 When it says Al-Pi Hashem, by the mouth of the Lord, the Midrash says, sort of the Apocrypha, they say that by the mouth of the Lord means that God took his soul with a kiss, in the same way that God breathed his soul into Adam, God took Moses with a kiss, and the idea was that, they say that

00:50:50.000 We're good to go.

00:51:08.000 Normally, they say the ultimate act of charity for a human being is to bury someone, because you know it's never going to be reciprocated, right?

00:51:14.000 I mean, if you do charity for somebody, the idea for some people is that they'll come back and they'll reciprocate.

00:51:19.000 It's reciprocal altruism, as they say in Darwin land.

00:51:22.000 But with this, when you bury somebody, when you pay homage to them after they die, you know that's never going to be reciprocated.

00:51:28.000 God's doing him the ultimate

00:51:29.000 All right.

00:51:53.000 For my money, just as a piece of literature, this is the most moving end to any piece of literature that's ever been written, whether you believe it was written by God or whether you believe it was written by man.

00:52:01.000 And obviously, as an Orthodox Jew, I believe that it was written by God.

00:52:04.000 Okay, so, tomorrow we will be back with debate highlights and lowlights, and I'm sure there will be flying pies and flying cow pies and all sorts of goodies to talk about, and Donald Trump presumably will at some point

00:52:16.000 Tag out and Hulk Hogan will run in and hit Hillary with a chair. 1.00

00:52:18.000 And then Hillary will tag out and Bill will come in and whip it out. 1.00

00:52:21.000 Lots of stuff could happen tonight.

00:52:22.000 So this will be an exciting debate because nobody has anything to lose at this point.

00:52:26.000 Trump's already lost it.

00:52:27.000 So look for the unexpected. 0.98

00:52:29.000 Look for the crazy. 0.86

00:52:30.000 And then we'll be back here tomorrow with the clown shoes. 0.98
