The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 203 - Never Trumpers, Don't Make This One Big Mistake

00:00:00.000 With Democrats in a hair-on-fire frenzy over the FBI's renewed Hillary Clinton investigation, Hillary actually isn't losing any prominent supporters.

00:00:07.000 In fact, Democrats are circling their wagons around their corrupt heritant of a candidate.

00:00:11.000 They're loosing the dogs of Harry Reid to accuse the FBI of rigging the election for the Russians and Donald Trump.

00:00:16.000 They're utilizing the media to parse FBI Director James Comey's statement.

00:00:20.000 They're blasting congressional Republicans for, of course,

00:00:23.000 Overreach.

00:00:24.000 Anything to avoid looking reality in the face. 1.00

00:00:26.000 Hillary Clinton is insanely rotten. 1.00

00:00:28.000 They picked her. 0.97

00:00:29.000 Unlike Republicans who nominated Trump with a minority of the vote, the Democratic National Committee attempted to mobilize behind Hillary during the primaries. 0.97

00:00:36.000 New DNC Chair Donna Brazile actively funneled debate questions to Clinton during the primaries and then lied about it. 1.00

00:00:43.000 The Democrats insisted Hillary Clinton be anointed.

00:00:44.000 They nominated her with a substantial majority of the primary vote.

00:00:49.000 Unlike Republicans who have spent months agonizing over Trump's nomination, you know this, we've been doing it, with some Republicans vowing not to vote for him, and others vowing to vote for him but not support him publicly, like Paul Ryan, and still others stating they'll vote for him but criticize him when he deserves it, like Mark Levin, virtually all major Democrats cannot stop praising Hillary under any circumstances.

00:01:07.000 While Trump goes to war with Paul Ryan because Ryan won't campaign for Trump,

00:01:11.000 Obama's out there on the front lines still calling Hillary the most qualified person ever to run for president.

00:01:16.000 Michelle Obama is focusing all of her attention on pushing Hillary, a woman who helped cover for her husband's sex abuse, into the White House while crying crocodile tears over Donald Trump's treatment of women.

00:01:26.000 Now, there are a couple of ways to take this.

00:01:27.000 First,

00:01:29.000 We Republicans can admire the solidarity of Democrats.

00:01:31.000 They will always back their man or woman no matter what they do. 0.99

00:01:34.000 A candidate can literally drown a woman in a river, and they'll call that guy the Lion of the Senate when he dies.

00:01:39.000 Donald Trump jokes about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue and losing no support, but a Democrat presidential candidate could probably do it and get away with it.

00:01:45.000 So that means Democrats do have a built-in electoral advantage.

00:01:50.000 Alternatively, we could be a little proud.

00:01:51.000 Yes, proud.

00:01:52.000 It turns out bad people do what a lot of these Democrats are doing.

00:01:56.000 They tolerate any and all behavior from their candidates, so long as their candidates are of the left.

00:02:01.000 The ends justify the means, always and forever.

00:02:03.000 Among Republicans, however, we like to question our own.

00:02:06.000 We may determine the cost of Donald Trump personally may be outweighed by his political benefits, but we do agonize.

00:02:12.000 That's a good thing.

00:02:13.000 Do Democrats agonize?

00:02:14.000 Nope. 0.98

00:02:15.000 And that makes them the more immoral party.

00:02:17.000 That is supposed to mean something.

00:02:19.000 Perhaps it doesn't.

00:02:20.000 Maybe winning is the only thing.

00:02:22.000 Maybe we all ought to act like Democrats when it comes to politics.

00:02:24.000 But it seems like a better strategy for Americans to start acting like Republicans instead if we actually would like to have a country worth saving.

00:02:31.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:02:32.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:02:37.000 All righty, folks.

00:02:38.000 So, lots to get to today, and we'll get to all of it in just a second.

00:02:43.000 The media are continuing to lose their minds.

00:02:46.000 The Democrats are continuing to react with solidarity to Hillary Clinton.

00:02:50.000 But first, we have to say hello to our sponsors over at Helix Sleep.

00:02:52.000 So, I have this brand new mattress that was sent to me by Helix Sleep.

00:02:55.000 It's really cool.

00:02:56.000 You go to helixsleep.com slash Ben, and you use the promo code Ben, helixsleep.com slash Ben.

00:03:04.000 What it is, is that you go to their website,

00:03:06.000 And they ask you a bunch of questions about your body type.

00:03:08.000 Do you like a mattress that's comfortable?

00:03:09.000 Is it a mattress that's soft or hard?

00:03:12.000 Do you like a mattress that is more breathable, or do you like it warm?

00:03:16.000 And then, based on that, they have an algorithm that calculates the best kind of mattress for you.

00:03:19.000 And if you're married, they'll create a mattress for you that is different on both sides of the bed.

00:03:25.000 And then they send it to you in a giant box, and you open it up, and it inflates.

00:03:29.000 It's really cool.

00:03:30.000 And it is super-duper comfortable.

00:03:32.000 We actually just upgraded our bed frame, because we only had a queen bed frame.

00:03:36.000 We now have a king bed frame, because we had to get one for this new mattress that they sent us.

00:03:39.000 We like it that much.

00:03:40.000 We actually did away with our very expensive old mattress in favor of this one.

00:03:44.000 HelixSleep.com and they will give you $50 off your order.

00:03:49.000 You have 100 nights to try out the mattress, see if you like it.

00:03:51.000 And if you don't like it, they will pick it up

00:03:53.000 for you for free and give you a 100% refund.

00:03:56.000 Helix customers report 30% improvement in the overall sleep quality.

00:04:00.000 There is nothing that says luxury like sleeping on a really nice bed.

00:04:04.000 I know, because I'm a pretty light sleeper, and so I'm very intent on using Helix beds and great mattresses from our sponsors, Bull and Branch, but helixsleep.com is the place to go if you want a great mattress at a really affordable price, a lot less than you would have to pay somewhere else.

00:04:23.000 Lots going on.

00:04:25.000 The Clinton Foundation is now under investigation, apparently.

00:04:28.000 So there are lots of investigations with regard to Hillary Clinton.

00:04:31.000 She's got troubles up the wazoo, and she doesn't know what to do about them. 0.99

00:04:34.000 So yesterday she was tweeting things like, with the election just eight days away, Trump should immediately disclose all of his ties and connections to the Kremlin and its associates.

00:04:43.000 Ooh, if that's the best she's got, she is toasterama. 0.83

00:04:47.000 She is, she is buttered toast.

00:04:48.000 I mean, she is done, done, and done.

00:04:51.000 Because the fact is that I assumed, I think everybody assumed, Donald Trump is legitimately one of the easier candidates in human history to find oppo on.

00:04:59.000 I mean, the guy's bragged about basically every sin he's ever committed.

00:05:02.000 You're telling me you can't come up with anything?

00:05:05.000 You can't come up with anything?

00:05:07.000 But it turns out that they can't, apparently.

00:05:09.000 The best that Hillary can come up with is, why is Donald so close to the Russians? 0.60

00:05:12.000 Yeah, we know Hillary. 1.00

00:05:14.000 You've been saying it for months.

00:05:15.000 And it's true, Trump is close to the Russians.

00:05:17.000 But if this is your big bombshell...

00:05:19.000 If this is

00:05:38.000 Wahoo! 0.99

00:05:40.000 He is in the news again, of course.

00:05:41.000 And then there is the Hillary Clinton private server investigation.

00:05:45.000 The private server, her server for money, does what she wants it to do. 0.95

00:05:48.000 And then there is the Hillary Clinton Foundation scandal, and the FBI has been investigating that as well.

00:05:54.000 The FBI is on top of that because the whole thing is just a giant pay-for-play routine.

00:05:57.000 The Washington Post reported last week, we talked about it.

00:06:00.000 That Hillary Clinton's foundation, the Clinton Foundation, was basically a giant slush fund designed to help the Clintons raise money on the side and then give favors to all of their political friends. 1.00

00:06:10.000 So, the assistant FBI director, former assistant FBI director, he says yes, the Clinton Foundation is in fact under criminal investigation.

00:06:17.000 To have the FBI director determine that it shouldn't even be referred to the Department of Justice.

00:06:25.000 Nobody in the FBI, and my former colleagues and many of them still in the bureau, no one understood why that was.

00:06:32.000 When they heard his presentation, they thought that it merited

00:06:35.000 Well, frankly, Loretta Lynch, frankly, the Attorney General Loretta Lynch had said previously, we will defer to the FBI on this.

00:06:59.000 And that was wrong on her part.

00:07:00.000 She has underlings that are professional career prosecutors, that are civil service, that are not under the appointment of the president, or serving at the behest of the president.

00:07:11.000 So that could have been handled by normal means of the senior officials at the FBI, referring that to senior prosecutors at DOJ, who have handled many, many of these type of investigations, and handled it that way.

00:07:27.000 Now that he did what he did on July 5th, then testifies before Congress, and Congress says, if there's a new development, you're closing this case, you did close this case, or you're stopping the investigation.

00:07:38.000 If there's a new development, tell us.

00:07:40.000 You have to let us know.

00:07:42.000 And I think that's what comes down to this week. 0.98

00:07:45.000 Okay, so, again, another investigation of the Clintons, and all that people get from this, they don't get the general specifics of this particular scandal, but they do get that the Clintons are just dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty. 0.99

00:07:58.000 Her numbers could not be any worse. 0.97

00:08:00.000 Right now, I've never seen a more polarized electorate.

00:08:02.000 People hate Hillary or they hate Trump, and we'll get to that in just a second.

00:08:06.000 Because I think that some of the hatred is actually obscuring the truth, and we'll get to that in just a moment.

00:08:11.000 The media are attempting to protect Hillary with everything they have. 0.99

00:08:14.000 So, there's this woman named Robin Lakoff. 1.00

00:08:18.000 Naturally, she's a professor of linguistics at Berkeley, which means she's a moron. 0.99

00:08:21.000 And she has a piece today called, Hillary Clinton's email gate is an attack on women. 1.00

00:08:27.000 Really?

00:08:28.000 Is it?

00:08:29.000 Is it really an attack on women? 0.99

00:08:31.000 I miss the part where you setting up a private server in order to shield information from public FOIA requests, how that has anything to do with vaginas. 1.00

00:08:38.000 I miss that part. 0.81

00:08:40.000 But I love the writing.

00:08:41.000 It's so over-the-top.

00:08:42.000 It is amazing.

00:08:43.000 All the women who claim that they're real feminists, and that means there are no differences between men and women, and women should be treated exactly like men. 0.98

00:08:49.000 How do you expect to get away with writing like this as a feminist? 1.00

00:08:52.000 I am mad.

00:08:53.000 I am mad because I am scared.

00:08:55.000 Okay, I thought that the whole premise of feminism is that women are not more emotional. 0.99

00:08:58.000 Like, I would never open an article, I am mad, I am mad because I am scared.

00:09:03.000 I mean, come on.

00:09:04.000 It says, I am mad, I am mad because I am scared.

00:09:06.000 And if you are a woman, you should be too. 1.00

00:09:08.000 Emailgate is a bitch hunt. 1.00

00:09:09.000 This is, this is really in Time Magazine. 0.99

00:09:11.000 Seriously.

00:09:12.000 But the target is not Hillary Clinton.

00:09:14.000 It's us.

00:09:16.000 Really? 0.99

00:09:18.000 It's a bitch hunt, but the target isn't Hillary, it's us. 0.99

00:09:21.000 And every woman across America should be scared. 0.99

00:09:23.000 My wife isn't scared.

00:09:24.000 My wife seems pretty okay.

00:09:26.000 My mom, I talked to her yesterday.

00:09:27.000 She seems okay.

00:09:28.000 Taylor, are you scared?

00:09:30.000 Taylor doesn't seem very scared.

00:09:31.000 Of course, Taylor's tatted up and can take any one of the people in this audience.

00:09:35.000 But the reality is that there are no women across the country who are scared because of emailgate.

00:09:40.000 There are lots of reasons for women to be scared of things. 0.99

00:09:43.000 Like rapists, that's bad.

00:09:45.000 Murderers, bad. 1.00

00:09:46.000 Jihadists, bad. 1.00

00:09:47.000 Right?

00:09:47.000 There are lots of bad things for women to be scared of.

00:09:49.000 One of those things is not emailgate, it turns out. 1.00

00:09:52.000 But this idiot writes, the only reason the whole email flap has legs is because the candidate is female. 1.00

00:09:57.000 Can you imagine this happening to a man? 1.00

00:09:59.000 Yes, David Petraeus.

00:10:01.000 Okay?

00:10:02.000 Clinton is guilty of SWF, speaking while female. 0.87

00:10:07.000 An email gate is just a reminder to us all that she has no business doing what she's doing and must be punished for the sake of all decent women everywhere. 1.00

00:10:14.000 There's so much of that going around.

00:10:16.000 You have to be delusional to believe this.

00:10:17.000 I mean, this is delusional beyond delusional.

00:10:19.000 Can you play the victim card any more than this?

00:10:21.000 The people demanding Clinton act like moral exemplars, thundering from the pulpit like Jonathan Edwards or Cotton Mather.

00:10:28.000 No, the people are not demanding Clinton act like moral exemplars.

00:10:32.000 That's not even a sentence, first of all.

00:10:33.000 The people are demanding Clinton act like moral exemplars.

00:10:36.000 You mean the Clintons act like moral exemplars?

00:10:38.000 What?

00:10:40.000 Okay, try diagramming that one.

00:10:43.000 I think what she's saying here, if you translate it into English, is that the people are demanding Clinton act like moral exemplars.

00:10:50.000 So the people—no, I can't.

00:10:53.000 There's nothing there.

00:10:53.000 Sorry, you got your verbs in the wrong place, gang.

00:10:56.000 But Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and their many conservative friends are not remotely Clinton's moral superiors.

00:11:02.000 Okay, whatever.

00:11:04.000 You know who's Clinton's moral superior?

00:11:05.000 On this issue, anyone who didn't set up a private email server and expose classified information.

00:11:09.000 Anyone.

00:11:10.000 Anybody.

00:11:11.000 They are simply bullies using gender discrimination to give a veneer of plausibility to their accusations.

00:11:17.000 Okay, so, for the moment, watch this.

00:11:20.000 I identify as a woman. 0.99

00:11:21.000 Hillary's corrupt. 1.00

00:11:23.000 Okay, now back to reality. 0.98

00:11:24.000 I identify as a man. 0.97

00:11:25.000 Hillary's still corrupt. 1.00

00:11:26.000 Did things magically change based on my identity? 1.00

00:11:29.000 So dumb. 1.00

00:11:30.000 FBI Chief James Comey has shown himself to be another bully of the same kind. 1.00

00:11:34.000 He acquitted her six months ago!

00:11:36.000 Was he a bully then?

00:11:38.000 Unbelievable.

00:11:39.000 He has repeatedly talked down to Clinton, admonishing her as a bad parent would use a five-year-old.

00:11:45.000 He has accused her of poor judgment.

00:11:46.000 This is my favorite article ever, I think.

00:11:48.000 He has accused her of poor judgment and called her use of a private email server extremely careless.

00:11:53.000 Listen, she's lucky he called it extremely careless.

00:11:55.000 If he had said reckless, she'd be in jail right now.

00:11:58.000 And if Comey's a Boy Scout, here's one old lady who will never let him help her across the street. 1.00

00:12:03.000 Okay.

00:12:08.000 If the candidate were male, there would be no scolding and no scandal.

00:12:11.000 It's true.

00:12:12.000 It's amazing, guys.

00:12:12.000 I've never heard of a male politician caught in a scandal.

00:12:14.000 Have you?

00:12:15.000 I've never heard of it.

00:12:16.000 I've never heard of it.

00:12:17.000 Like, I don't know, like Anthony Weiner, whose emails were actually found, her emails were found on Anthony Weiner's server.

00:12:21.000 But Anthony Weiner, lest you forget, Anthony Weiner is a female. 0.93

00:12:24.000 Because scandals only hit females. 1.00

00:12:26.000 Lest you forget.

00:12:27.000 Anthony Weiner's Weiner is a female Weiner. 0.97

00:12:29.000 Okay, so, I love this.

00:12:31.000 If Candidate were male, there'd be no scolding and no scandal.

00:12:34.000 Those very ideas would be absurd.

00:12:36.000 No man in history has been hit by scandal according to this obtuse woman who teaches at Berkeley. 1.00

00:12:42.000 Men have a nearly absolute right to freedom of speech.

00:12:45.000 Uh, so do women. 1.00

00:12:47.000 And also, some of us have felt some consequences for freedom of speech.

00:12:50.000 In theory, so do women. 1.00

00:12:51.000 But that, as the creationists like to say, is only a theory.

00:12:54.000 Ah, you have to have the gratuitous slap at the creationists for no reason.

00:12:58.000 What I love about these people is they just, they kind of, they're trucking along.

00:13:02.000 I remember, let me put it this way.

00:13:03.000 I have a two and a half year old daughter.

00:13:04.000 When my daughter first started running,

00:13:07.000 She would run in a direction, but she was running in every direction at the same time.

00:13:10.000 Because she wasn't very coordinated.

00:13:12.000 So she would run forward, and at the same time her arms were going everywhere, and her feet were going everywhere.

00:13:15.000 It was really funny to watch.

00:13:16.000 Okay, that's like feminists like this woman reasoning. 1.00

00:13:19.000 Okay, she just has to stop to see the signs.

00:13:22.000 Oh! 0.60

00:13:22.000 There's a creationist! 0.60

00:13:23.000 I'm gonna make fun of the creationist for no reason.

00:13:26.000 Clinton's use of a personal server has not been found to be a crime.

00:13:28.000 Then how is it so many have found the charge so easy to make and make stick?

00:13:32.000 I don't know.

00:13:34.000 OJ Simpson wasn't convicted of a crime.

00:13:35.000 I still think he murdered his wife.

00:13:37.000 How is her use of the server made plausible?

00:13:39.000 All the claims that she's deceptive and untrustworthy.

00:13:41.000 Oh, I don't know.

00:13:42.000 She set up a private email server in violation of law three days before becoming Secretary of State to hide things.

00:13:47.000 Maybe it was that.

00:13:49.000 Or, perhaps this woman's right.

00:13:51.000 And it's the fact that she has fallopian tubes. 0.99

00:13:54.000 It's not about emails.

00:13:54.000 It's about public communication by a woman in general.

00:13:59.000 Funny, nobody had these complaints about Elizabeth Warren.

00:14:02.000 Hey, weird how that worked.

00:14:04.000 Of course, in the year 2016, no one, not even the Donald, could make this argument explicitly.

00:14:08.000 After all, he and his fellow Republicans are not waging a war on women.

00:14:11.000 How do we know that?

00:14:11.000 They have said so.

00:14:12.000 And they're men, so they must be telling the truth.

00:14:14.000 How to tell the genders apart is in parentheses.

00:14:16.000 Men are truthful. 1.00

00:14:17.000 Women are liars. 1.00

00:14:18.000 Now you know. 1.00

00:14:20.000 I have been calling Donald Trump a liar the entirety of this election campaign. 1.00

00:14:24.000 Hillary Clinton is also a liar because I don't justify whether I call somebody a liar based on their genitalia. 0.99

00:14:32.000 I have to finish reading this because it's so good and we've come this far. 1.00

00:14:35.000 This is like a horrible journey we have to see through to its conclusion.

00:14:39.000 It's like the last couple of Harry Potter films.

00:14:41.000 Here's Hillary Rodham Clinton, the very public stand-in for all bossy, uppity, ambitious women. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Here are her emails, and since it's a woman, doing what decent women should never do, engaging in high-level public communication. 1.00

00:14:51.000 I love this so much.

00:14:53.000 There must be something wrong with that.

00:14:54.000 Even if we can't find that something, we will invoke the terminology of criminal law to account for our feelings.

00:15:00.000 She's getting away with treason. 1.00

00:15:01.000 Put her in jail.

00:15:02.000 We can't quite put our fingers on it, but the words sure do make a lot of people feel better, so they must be right.

00:15:06.000 Clinton has repeatedly apologized, writes this Looney Tune, but apparently not enough for her accusers.

00:15:11.000 In fact, her apologies were her only mistake.

00:15:14.000 By apologizing, she acknowledged guilt, because that's what women are supposed to do, because women are always guilty of something. 0.99

00:15:20.000 Several members of her own staff sent emails grumbling she was a recalcitrant apologizer, but her instinct was right.

00:15:25.000 Apologizing has only made her weaker.

00:15:26.000 By the way, some of the people commenting on her inability to apologize include Neera Tanden, a female.

00:15:31.000 Her opponent never apologizes, not really, so accusations slide off his back like water off a duck's.

00:15:36.000 Imagine the emails the Trump campaign must be exchanging.

00:15:38.000 Now, those would be legitimately interesting.

00:15:41.000 Right, and also non-criminal gang.

00:15:43.000 They would be interesting, but they would not be criminal because Donald Trump does not work for the federal government and was not in a position of federal power.

00:15:50.000 Just amazing what they will do in order to shield their girl.

00:15:53.000 And it's the same thing with Charles Blow.

00:15:57.000 Charles Blow, who's one of the worst columnists in human history.

00:16:00.000 I mean, it basically, I don't even know who's as bad as Charles Blow.

00:16:05.000 There is no comp.

00:16:07.000 He has an article called, Emails Genitalia and the FBI.

00:16:43.000 Biggest conservative podcast in America.

00:16:51.000 All righty, so Charles Blow is on the same page, and he does have a name like a Dickens character, where the name of the character actually describes the person. 0.99

00:16:59.000 And so Charles Blow, he says, who would have thought the final leg of this election cycle would be dominated by crowing about violating vaginas and by probes into penis pictures? 0.98

00:17:06.000 Well, I mean, I sort of could have predicted that as soon as it was Hillary and Trump were the nominees, but oh well. 0.98

00:17:11.000 Even that frame is problematic because it creates an equivalency that doesn't exist.

00:17:15.000 One scandal is about a man boasting of predation and the other is about a woman weary of people's prying.

00:17:20.000 Oh, Hillary's a victim. 1.00

00:17:22.000 She's weary of people's prying.

00:17:24.000 I'm so tired of people prying into my official emails that I write on behalf of the United States government and that are subject to FOIA request and review.

00:17:33.000 My God.

00:17:36.000 He's basically using the same argument that they used with regard to Bill Clinton shitting Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. 0.99

00:17:40.000 Oh, it's just sex, it's his private life. 0.98

00:17:42.000 Except at least Bill Clinton could argue, that was my genitalia, Hillary Clinton was actually writing emails on behalf of the United States government that were subject to review. 0.51

00:17:49.000 He says, these are fundamentally different flaws, one clearly being about a pattern of assault, and the other about a pattern of ill-fated insularity.

00:17:56.000 No, it's also about a pattern of paranoia and government law-breaking.

00:18:00.000 In fact, Hillary Clinton is the only First Lady ever fingerprinted by the FBI, and they fingerprinted her because there were documents missing in the Whitewater investigation.

00:18:08.000 They were found in the personal quarters of the White House, and her fingerprints were on them, so they had to fingerprint her.

00:18:13.000 She's been doing this for literally decades.

00:18:16.000 The New York Times continues, this is Charles Blow, and yet an utterly irresponsible media, thirsty for a scoop, ignoring the consequences of its scope, has egged on a public with a scandal lust, aiding and abetting Republicans in turning an email mistake into a colossal crime.

00:18:30.000 It's not a mistake!

00:18:32.000 It's not a mistake!

00:18:34.000 Okay, a mistake is, I send an email that I didn't mean to send early, and then I write a letter to somebody saying, can you please delete that.

00:18:41.000 A mistake is not, you know it wasn't a mistake, it was a mistake, that the producers on this program,

00:18:46.000 Got up this morning, and they came in, they made sure all of the equipment was hooked up, I came in, I made sure that my computer was hooked up, we turned on the camera, we made sure that the teleprompter was working for the opening monologue, and then I began.

00:18:57.000 None of that was a mistake.

00:18:58.000 That was all planned.

00:19:00.000 Mistakes are when you don't have a plan, folks.

00:19:02.000 Mistakes are when you do something that's not according to the plan.

00:19:05.000 If you set up a private server and then use the private server, that is not a mistake.

00:19:08.000 That is you having a plan.

00:19:09.000 The only mistake is that you got caught.

00:19:12.000 They say this election is in danger, and here's where we get to the fun part.

00:19:15.000 Charles Blow says this election isn't in danger of being stolen by Hillary, but in danger of being stolen from her.

00:19:21.000 Ah!

00:19:23.000 We've reached the point of genius.

00:19:24.000 We have now flipped the entire script.

00:19:26.000 Donald Trump complains for months about how this election is rigged, and every Democrat says he's undermining the system.

00:19:31.000 And now, where are the Democrats?

00:19:33.000 What is Charles Blow doing?

00:19:34.000 Ah, it turns out the election is rigged, but it's rigged against Hillary Clinton.

00:19:39.000 He says that Comey's move was reckless, weaponizing the reputation of the Bureau as a partisan political entity, but Comey was ignoring the strong discouragement of the Justice Department.

00:19:47.000 Yes, he was.

00:19:49.000 Okay, first of all, the Justice Department doesn't get to play moral arbiter here, considering the Justice Department has interviewed wrongly in virtually every major race case in the United States for the last eight years.

00:19:59.000 They certainly don't get to do it when Loretta Lynch is meeting with the Clintons. 1.00

00:20:03.000 But it is fun to blind yourself based on partisanship.

00:20:05.000 So, on the one hand, you have the Democrats blinding themselves based on partisanship.

00:20:09.000 There's nothing wrong with Hillary. 1.00

00:20:10.000 Everything is great.

00:20:11.000 It's just that people don't like women. 1.00

00:20:13.000 People don't like women. 1.00

00:20:15.000 It's just that if Hillary had a penis instead of a vagina, everything would be wildly different. 1.00

00:20:20.000 First of all, it would be wildly different. 1.00

00:20:21.000 She wouldn't be running for president because she'd just be like a thousand other men who want to be president. 0.51

00:20:25.000 She certainly wouldn't be married to the former president and running.

00:20:28.000 It's amazing to watch the media spin.

00:20:30.000 I mean, the blindness, the partisanship.

00:20:32.000 So here was the front page of the New York Daily News on Monday, okay?

00:20:37.000 And it's an ugly picture of James Comey, and they pixelated it in such a way that he looks like he hasn't shaved.

00:20:43.000 Like, really, it looks horrifying, right?

00:20:45.000 What they did here is they've messed with the graphic a little bit.

00:20:49.000 It looks like one of those ugly cartoons that you sometimes see under freeway overpasses that are

00:20:55.000 He's like a terrorist. 0.94

00:21:14.000 The New York Daily News, I'm old enough to remember, when they were saying that Donald Trump was blowing up the Statue of Liberty because he didn't like Muslim immigration. 0.98

00:21:22.000 So now, James Comey is the FBI's mad bomber.

00:21:25.000 They say, News says, Reckless Comey must go.

00:21:28.000 Expert, only criminal if classified emails.

00:21:31.000 Fed agents knew of laptop weeks in advance.

00:21:34.000 So, James Comey is the villain.

00:21:36.000 And they also have an alternative headline that says, Rogue One, he's gone rogue.

00:21:40.000 Why are they saying all this?

00:21:41.000 Well, because they're on Hillary Clinton's side.

00:21:42.000 George Stephanopoulos does the same thing.

00:21:44.000 Here's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday with Kellyanne Conway.

00:21:47.000 All this email issue, worse than Watergate.

00:21:50.000 How is it worse than Watergate?

00:21:52.000 He just sees that there's this constant cloud of corruption that follows Hillary Clinton around, and for the FBI to make a remarkable move 11 days before the election means there must be something there.

00:22:02.000 It was a criminal conspiracy led by the President of the United States that had 48 people plead guilty.

00:22:07.000 Well, but George, if you look at what's happened with Hillary Clinton and two FBI investigations this year, what Jim Comey did in July, on July 5th, he said, we declined to prosecute her, and then he went on to give us all the list of reasons why she should have

00:22:22.000 The prosecution said no reasonable person.

00:22:24.000 That's right, he said that and then he as a reasonable person went through the whole list on July 5th in his very public statement of how reckless and careless she was.

00:22:31.000 And then two days later under oath in front of Congress, Jim Comey went through the whole list of contradictions of Hillary Clinton's own words.

00:22:38.000 There was not just one device, there were 13.

00:22:40.000 She did in fact exchange classified national security information.

00:22:43.000 So he undercut his own premise and he certainly undercut what Secretary Clinton had.

00:22:47.000 But look, I think for the voters at this stage,

00:22:49.000 This plays right into their reluctance about Hillary Clinton anyway. 0.71

00:22:53.000 Okay, so I love that Stephanopoulos is really finding this ridiculous.

00:22:56.000 How could you compare Wiki... How could you compare Watergate to Hillary's scandal?

00:23:00.000 Okay, what Watergate was was an attempt to break into an opposing party's political office and get their information and then a cover-up that involved that.

00:23:08.000 Hillary is a cover-up involving the attempt to actually expose classified materials to foreign hack.

00:23:14.000 That's a lot more serious than I was trying to get inside scoop on what George McGovern is doing in 1972.

00:23:19.000 That is much more serious, because it doesn't expose America's national classified secrets to foreign hack.

00:23:26.000 That's what Hillary Clinton was doing as the Secretary of State because she was trying to protect herself through secrecy. 1.00

00:23:32.000 That alone is significantly worse than Watergate.

00:23:35.000 It is worse than Watergate.

00:23:36.000 The only reason that it's not worse than Watergate in terms of her cover-up is because she wasn't the president and Nixon was the president, so he could fire the special prosecutors and the Saturday Night Massacre and all the rest of that.

00:23:45.000 Hillary couldn't do all that, but she could certainly use the State Department as a pass-through entity for her own pay-to-play. 0.99

00:23:52.000 And she could certainly use the State Department employees, and Obama could corrupt the DOJ in order to prevent prosecuting her. 1.00

00:23:58.000 But Stephanopoulos, who's a Clinton hack, obviously, I mean, he writes in his autobiography about how he would have this conversation with Hillary after 92, or after 96, rather, where she said, I love you, George.

00:24:09.000 And he said, I love you, too, Hillary.

00:24:10.000 And they passionately made out.

00:24:12.000 All of which is true, except the part where they passionately made out.

00:24:14.000 I just threw that in.

00:24:14.000 But they actually were, you know, good buddies.

00:24:18.000 And now he's the objective news anchor at ABC News.

00:24:20.000 Pretty insane.

00:24:22.000 Very few Democrats are being honest about all of this, and some of the ones who are because they're Trumpsters.

00:24:27.000 So Mika Brzezinski, who has been swinging wildly from side to side with regard to Donald Trump, here she is talking about why this is really Hillary Clinton's fault.

00:24:35.000 I just kept thinking how I've been on my horse going after Republicans and the Republican Party.

00:24:40.000 You nominated this guy.

00:24:42.000 You nominated Donald Trump.

00:24:43.000 How could you do that?

00:24:44.000 When I'm thinking Democrats nominated someone who is under an FBI investigation for having a private server among other things.

00:24:52.000 So here we are.

00:24:54.000 Okay, and she's right, of course.

00:24:56.000 Now, that doesn't, and Doug Shane, who's a Democratic analyst, he's, I think he's pronounced Shone or Shane, he's on Fox News, and he's been a Hillary backer for a long time.

00:25:05.000 He says he's not gonna support Hillary anymore.

00:25:07.000 Harris, under these circumstances, I am actively reassessing my support.

00:25:14.000 I'm not a Trump supporter.

00:25:15.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

00:25:16.000 Right.

00:25:17.000 You're not gonna vote for Hillary Clinton?

00:25:19.000 Harris, I'm deeply concerned that we will have a constitutional crisis

00:25:24.000 If she's elected.

00:25:25.000 I want to learn more this week, see what we see, but as of today, I am not a supporter of the Secretary of State for the nation's highest office.

00:25:33.000 How long have you known the Clintons, Doug?

00:25:35.000 I've known the Clintons since 94.

00:25:38.000 So that's Doug Schoen, who's Democrat, Karl Rove.

00:25:41.000 And he says that he's not going to back Hillary Clinton anymore.

00:25:44.000 Now, most of the Democrats are still on board, and this is what I was saying at the top of the show.

00:25:47.000 Most Democrats are still on board, and they're going to blind themselves, no matter what Hillary Clinton does. 0.99

00:25:52.000 They must blind themselves so they don't have to see what they're doing.

00:25:56.000 It is amazing who the Democrats will try it out.

00:25:57.000 They've tried out Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. 0.88

00:25:59.000 This is the former mayor of Baltimore.

00:26:00.000 And she says that James Comey is the one who's at fault here.

00:26:04.000 And the only thing that's clear is that he's under pressure and he got shook.

00:26:09.000 He acted under pressure.

00:26:11.000 That's really Trump-esque recklessness to do something like this 9 days out or 11 days out and not have anything to back it up.

00:26:19.000 Okay, so it's unbelievable recklessness.

00:26:21.000 That, by the way, is the same lady who said during the Baltimore riots that she was going to give the rioters space to riot. 1.00

00:26:27.000 That's that same lady. 1.00

00:26:28.000 It was under her auspices that the DA in Baltimore filed a case for manslaughter and second-degree murder against the officers

00:26:39.000 So you know what?

00:26:40.000 I don't know what they're going to find and I don't care.

00:26:42.000 She's got a server in her basement. 1.00

00:26:43.000 I don't care if she's got John Benet Ramsey in her basement.

00:26:44.000 I'm still not voting for Donald Trump.

00:27:10.000 And there's the big cheer, right?

00:27:11.000 No matter what she does, I'm not voting for Donald Trump.

00:27:13.000 But the difference between, you know, Bill Maher and me is that he's going to vote for Hillary Clinton.

00:27:17.000 What he's really saying there is, I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton even if she has a body in her basement.

00:27:21.000 At least he's honest enough to say it.

00:27:23.000 This is how Democrats think.

00:27:25.000 This is how Democrats think, is that even if there's a body in the basement, they are going to vote for their person no matter what.

00:27:31.000 Now, look, as somebody who's not voting for Donald Trump, somebody who says neither of these people meet my standard to be President of the United States, I can fully acknowledge 0.99

00:27:39.000 Hillary Clinton is an awful, corrupt, nasty woman who believes in evil things. 1.00

00:27:43.000 Okay, and I'll say she's a nasty woman, because she is a nasty woman. 1.00

00:27:45.000 She's a nasty person who happens to be a woman, okay? 1.00

00:27:48.000 The reality is, that does not make Trump any better of a person. 1.00

00:27:52.000 Both of them can be scurrilous and terrible.

00:27:54.000 And the same thing is true for Trump. 0.99

00:27:55.000 If you really hate Trump, you can still say that Hillary Clinton is awful. 0.92

00:27:59.000 If you say that Hillary Clinton is awful, you can still say Trump is. 0.97

00:28:02.000 If you say that Trump is awful, you can still say Hillary Clinton is.

00:28:05.000 This is the trap I see some of the people who are not voting for Trump, Republicans not voting for Trump, falling into.

00:28:11.000 I've been talking about sort of the flip side of this

00:28:14.000 For a lot of this election cycle the tendency of a lot of Republicans and conservatives to start pretending that Donald Trump is conservative to start wishing away his bad activity because Donald Trump is running against Hillary so he can't be that bad and it's a binary election so we're not going to talk about all the bad things Donald Trump does we're going to be

00:28:31.000 Deliberately dishonest about all of it because after all it's binary and we can't stand to think about ourselves in this context. 0.95

00:28:38.000 We can't stand to think that we may be voting for someone bad.

00:28:40.000 And I've talked about how I think that's perverting what conservatism is and what republicanism is because now you're creating an image of Republicans where we're willing to allow all this sort of stuff just so long as you're better than the Democrat.

00:28:51.000 And I don't like that.

00:28:52.000 But now I have to cast some blame on people even who agree with me about Trump, people who are not going to vote for Trump and also aren't going to vote for Hillary.

00:29:00.000 There's a tendency when you really dislike one of the candidates to start seeing the other through rose-colored glasses.

00:29:06.000 I really dislike Trump a lot.

00:29:08.000 I also really dislike Hillary. 1.00

00:29:09.000 I've never seen her through rose-colored glasses.

00:29:11.000 There's no point at which I said Hillary Clinton is a good candidate, a good person, or a decent Secretary of State, or that she'd make a decent president. 0.83

00:29:18.000 I've said none of those things because I don't think they're true. 1.00

00:29:21.000 I've said throughout this election cycle, she will be an absolute pile of garbage topped by another pile of garbage topped by an elephant crap, okay? 1.00

00:29:29.000 She's gonna be terrible. 1.00

00:29:31.000 And I've said that the entire time, no matter how much I dislike Trump, no matter how much I dislike her, I think that Trump is basically the same thing.

00:29:38.000 And I think that you can see these things clearly, even if you're going to vote for one of them or the other.

00:29:41.000 But what you see is people aren't, they don't allow themselves to think this way.

00:29:44.000 So, here's a criticism for some of the never-Trump people.

00:29:49.000 Just because you're not voting for Trump does not make Hillary palatable. 1.00

00:29:51.000 It doesn't mean that this FBI thing isn't bad for her, because it is bad for her.

00:29:54.000 It doesn't mean that Hillary isn't a bad person, because she is a bad person. 0.87

00:29:58.000 Just because you don't like Trump doesn't make Hillary any better. 1.00

00:30:01.000 So, as an example, here is Anna Navarro, who's a Republican consultant.

00:30:05.000 She's on ABC News all the time.

00:30:06.000 Here's what she had to say about Hillary versus Trump.

00:30:10.000 Yeah, look, I think that at the end of the day, this has not changed the loyalists, the staunch supporters on either side one iota.

00:30:18.000 The question is, what is it going to do to that very small percentage of people who have yet to make a decision?

00:30:24.000 And it is, you know, just disgusting to the point where they don't participate.

00:30:28.000 They now are faced with a choice between a bad person or a person with bad judgment.

00:30:35.000 It is a very bad choice for the American people.

00:30:38.000 Okay, so she says that basically it's bad person versus person with bad judgment.

00:30:42.000 That, of course, is not true.

00:30:43.000 It's two bad people running against each other.

00:30:45.000 So Navarro dislikes Trump so much, she's now fibbing about what Clinton is.

00:30:50.000 I don't disagree with her assessment of Trump.

00:30:52.000 I disagree with her assessment of Clinton.

00:30:53.000 Jennifer Rubin does the same thing.

00:30:54.000 She's over at the Washington Post.

00:30:56.000 She really dislikes Donald Trump.

00:30:57.000 And so now she's going to start saying things about the media that aren't true because she's been blinded by the fact she doesn't like Donald Trump so much.

00:31:04.000 So I don't think that this is necessarily the media choosing to root for one side or to make him look bad.

00:31:10.000 It is an intentional strategy on his part.

00:31:14.000 I also think that frankly,

00:31:17.000 You know, you could take any segment of the election, these 12 weeks.

00:31:21.000 If you took the period of time, for example, when the FBI originally came out on the emails, the news was quite negative for a very long period of time against Hillary.

00:31:30.000 So there is an ebb and flow, and I think just to say 91% of it during these few weeks goes this way, doesn't look at the election as a whole.

00:31:39.000 And I think it will be interesting at the end to see how the numbers play out over the entire election season.

00:31:44.000 So it's not about the media going after Donald Trump.

00:31:46.000 There's no real bias against Donald Trump.

00:31:47.000 It's just about the handling.

00:31:49.000 No.

00:31:49.000 The media hates Donald Trump.

00:31:50.000 They admit they hate Donald Trump.

00:31:51.000 They admit they have an agenda.

00:31:53.000 Again, this is Jennifer Rubin being blinded by her own bias because she doesn't like Trump so much.

00:31:57.000 I think even George Will is doing some of this.

00:32:00.000 I think this is more accurate what George Will is about to say, but George Will is an anti-Trump guy.

00:32:03.000 And here, I think that he's really not getting the full import of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton.

00:32:10.000 There's no evidence whatever yet that there is new evidence pertaining to the email thing, because this is a contentless October surprise at this point.

00:32:18.000 What Mr. Comey said is the emails appear to be pertinent.

00:32:23.000 Well, they can be pertinent without being significant, because they can be pertinent in demonstrating extreme recklessness, the category the FBI invented to avoid accusing her of gross negligence, which is a felony.

00:32:37.000 Okay, and so he says that this is, and he's right to a certain extent, we don't know what's there, but to pretend that this is totally contentless is not true.

00:32:45.000 Obviously the FBI director knows something, otherwise he wouldn't be saying anything at this point.

00:32:49.000 So, there's a mistake that's being made by some of the NeverTrump people that I don't like to see.

00:32:54.000 And that is them painting Hillary as less sinister than she is because they don't like Trump.

00:32:59.000 And you already saw it on the other side, Bill Maher painting Hillary as less sinister because they don't like Trump. 0.97

00:33:06.000 It's really not something I'm fond of.

00:33:09.000 We've seen it with Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham this entire election cycle.

00:33:12.000 They hate Hillary so much that they're willing to paint Donald Trump as something that he's not.

00:33:15.000 How about we all are just honest with who these people are and then we can make a call?

00:33:18.000 And I'm not telling you how to make the call.

00:33:20.000 I'm telling you how I made the call.

00:33:21.000 I think I'm right, obviously.

00:33:23.000 But that doesn't mean that you're going to make the same decision.

00:33:25.000 And I'm in a slightly different position than other people with regard to this election, because I express my opinion on politics clearly every single day, and so my vote matters more, to me anyway, than it would mean to maybe somebody who votes once every four years and doesn't pay real deep attention to this sort of stuff.

00:33:40.000 Okay, so, now let's look at one last thing here, and then we'll get to stuff I like, stuff I hate, and deconstructing the culture.

00:33:47.000 Hillary Clinton, you can tell how desperate she is. 1.00

00:33:50.000 She's so desperate now that she is now enlisting the star of a 1964 ad to question Donald Trump on nukes.

00:33:57.000 So, for people who don't know, in 1964, probably the most famous political ad of all time, I don't even think it ran on TV, there was an ad that was cut against Barry Goldwater in which there was a little girl counting down as she pulled petals off a daisy.

00:34:09.000 It's called the Daisy Ad because of this.

00:34:11.000 And then there's a big nuclear explosion and the idea is that Barry Goldwater is going to blow up the world.

00:34:16.000 Why Hillary Clinton thinks that it's worthwhile to trot out a reference to an ad that is now, at this point in time, what is that?

00:34:22.000 That's 54 years—52 years old?

00:34:26.000 A 52-year-old ad?

00:34:28.000 In order to make a point about nuclear weapons?

00:34:30.000 This is just—it demonstrates how out of touch Hillary is and also how old she is. 1.00

00:34:34.000 She trots out the little girl from the Daisy ad to make the case against Trump. 0.62

00:34:38.000 This was me in 1964.

00:34:39.000 I was in the Daisy ad, which was a political commercial.

00:34:43.000 The fear of nuclear war that we had as children, I never thought our children would ever have to deal with that again.

00:34:47.000 And to see that coming forward in this election is really scary.

00:34:51.000 A foreign policy expert went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons.

00:35:01.000 If we have them, why can't we use them?

00:35:04.000 I want to be unpredictable.

00:35:06.000 Wouldn't you rather, in a certain sense, have Japan have nuclear weapons?

00:35:09.000 Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons?

00:35:10.000 Saudi Arabia, absolutely.

00:35:12.000 What safeguards are there to stop any president who may not be stable from launching a nuclear attack?

00:35:20.000 The Commander-in-Chief is the Commander-in-Chief. 1.00

00:35:22.000 Bomb the shit out of him. 1.00

00:35:25.000 Vote for Hillary Clinton on November 8th. 1.00

00:35:27.000 Insane ad. 0.99

00:35:27.000 Ridiculous ad. 0.99

00:35:28.000 Okay, if this is the best they've got, they are so toast. 0.95

00:35:30.000 I do love the fact that they're now trotting out not somebody who is, you know, in Hiroshima for a nuclear bomb drop.

00:35:38.000 They're not trotting out somebody who's like a nuclear expert.

00:35:40.000 They trot out the little girl who was acting in a Daisy ad by picking petals from a flower as the authority on nuclear weapons use. 0.98

00:35:48.000 It's asinine in the extreme. 0.96

00:35:50.000 Hillary's got nothing left in the tank. 1.00

00:35:52.000 I think that, you know, maybe she has enough of a lead that it doesn't matter in the end anyway, but there's a reason she's running scared, and it's because she has no thing.

00:36:00.000 She has nothing.

00:36:02.000 So, that means that it's Trump to the end, as long as he can keep his discipline.

00:36:05.000 Ha ha ha ha.

00:36:06.000 As long as you can remain relatively disciplined, then this FBI narrative should carry us all the way to Election Day a week from today.

00:36:13.000 Okay, time for some things I like and some things I hate.

00:36:15.000 So, things I like.

00:36:17.000 We're still kind of in Halloween mode a little bit.

00:36:19.000 So, there's a great movie with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin.

00:36:22.000 It's a really underrated film.

00:36:24.000 It's about a woman who is blind in her apartment and she's being victimized by thugs.

00:36:29.000 And the movie's called Wait Until Dark.

00:36:32.000 Here's a little bit of the trailer.

00:36:36.000 Audrey Hepburn, the role you're going to remember whenever you're alone.

00:36:41.000 She's a lost kid that still don't move.

00:37:12.000 Gloria? 0.98

00:37:16.000 She is blind.

00:37:18.000 And she is alone.

00:37:19.000 With a terrible suspicion growing.

00:37:29.000 It's really effective.

00:37:30.000 One of the things I like about this particular film is that most horror movies are built on the idea of some supernatural power that's going to come in and destroy your life and murder you and all this.

00:37:38.000 In this case, I kind of like horror films where it's actually a human being doing something evil because the greatest monsters we experience in life are not actual monsters.

00:37:46.000 They're human beings who do terrible, terrible things, and that's sort of the premise here.

00:37:50.000 We're good to go.

00:38:08.000 Okay, I'm getting real sick of people comparing things to the Holocaust uselessly. 1.00

00:38:11.000 It's just so stupid. 0.99

00:38:12.000 First of all, I have a general objection. 1.00

00:38:15.000 People say that it's terrible to compare things to Hitler.

00:38:17.000 I don't think it's terrible to compare things to Hitler, if they are rationally related. 0.51

00:38:22.000 If they're rationally related. 0.99

00:38:24.000 So, for example, you can't say things like Hitler was a vegetarian, and therefore all vegetarians are bad, because that's stupid, okay? 0.99

00:38:29.000 His vegetarianism had nothing to do with him slaughtering 6 million Jews, or murdering 50 million people around the world, or being responsible for their deaths. 0.92

00:38:36.000 But if you say things like, Hitler's policy of removing guns from domestic Jews helped facilitate his ability to deport those Jews to concentration camps, that now starts to look more like an actual political argument, and I don't oppose the invocation of Hitler to that extent.

00:38:53.000 What I do oppose is when people compare things to the Holocaust, it's really dumb unless there's an actual Holocaust going on, and that means a government-sponsored campaign to wipe out an entire population.

00:39:04.000 One of the things that is so—what the left likes to do is they like to suggest that language is the same as action.

00:39:10.000 It's one of my big bugaboos in life.

00:39:12.000 Language is not the same as action.

00:39:13.000 You saying something is not the same as you doing something.

00:39:16.000 This is the left's microaggression culture.

00:39:18.000 If I say something you don't like, then that's the same thing as me punching you.

00:39:21.000 It's an aggression.

00:39:22.000 No, it isn't.

00:39:23.000 Okay? 1.00

00:39:24.000 And when this NPR lady says that the phrase, illegal immigrant, is compared to the Holocaust, comparable to the Holocaust, that's just idiotic. 1.00

00:39:32.000 Here we go. 1.00

00:39:33.000 It is most unfair though to legal immigrants to allow illegals to hop in front of them and cheat the system. 1.00

00:39:40.000 And that is what Donald Trump, he is willing to voice to dispossess.

00:39:43.000 So you are going to use, I mean I don't know how, in fact it was just yesterday I think I had to put another Twitter which is, illegals is not a noun.

00:39:55.000 It is not a noun.

00:39:57.000 You cannot... An illegal immigrant. 1.00

00:39:58.000 I'll use it then as an adjective.

00:39:59.000 An illegal immigrant. 0.98

00:40:00.000 If you're here and you're not allowed to be here, it's illegal.

00:40:05.000 Is that you can say it is an immigrant living illegally or an immigrant living without papers or without documents in this country.

00:40:12.000 But what you cannot do is to label a person illegal.

00:40:16.000 And the reason why I say this is not because I learned it from some radical Latino or Latina studies professor when I was a college student.

00:40:23.000 I learned it from Elie Wiesel, who survived the Holocaust, who said, you know what?

00:40:27.000 The first thing they did was that they declared the Jews to be an illegal people.

00:40:31.000 And that's what we're talking about at this point.

00:40:34.000 This is real fear when I was looking at the numbers in terms of the... Oh, come the hell on.

00:40:37.000 Come the hell on.

00:40:39.000 When he said they declared the Jews to be an illegal people, what he meant is they declared Jews who were legitimate citizens of the nations in which they were labeled illegal, right, to be not citizens. 0.95

00:40:50.000 That's what they did.

00:40:51.000 Okay, they took legal citizens and made them not legal citizens.

00:40:54.000 She's talking about people who are here illegally, not using the word illegal because that's the same as how Germans treated Jews in 1939 Germany.

00:41:01.000 What absolute historical hogwash. 0.97

00:41:03.000 The idea that anybody is talking about the mass murder of illegal immigrants is just insane. 0.95

00:41:08.000 Nobody is talking about that. 0.96

00:41:09.000 And using the term illegal immigrant does not mean that you want to kill illegal immigrants.

00:41:14.000 It doesn't even mean you want to deport a lot of illegal immigrants, by the way.

00:41:16.000 There are a lot of people who use that language who would like to see some sort of legalization program for people over time.

00:41:21.000 But this is how the left does its business.

00:41:23.000 They like to control the language, and they feel if they control the language, then they can control the debate, because that's true.

00:41:29.000 That's true.

00:41:29.000 If you change it from illegal immigrants to people who are here without papers,

00:41:33.000 That suggests that the punishment should be just to give them papers. 0.51

00:41:37.000 There shouldn't be a punishment.

00:41:37.000 We should just give them papers, right?

00:41:39.000 If I say to you that you're in a place without papers, the solution is you get the papers.

00:41:43.000 Well, maybe the solution is you shouldn't have been there in the first place.

00:41:45.000 Depends on how you got there, what you're doing here, and what you've been doing.

00:41:48.000 Okay.

00:41:49.000 Now it's time to, uh, let's do a little bit of deconstruction of the culture.

00:41:53.000 So, we've been putting this off for a little while because Deconstructing the Culture Day, Tuesdays, that always tends to fall on Jewish holidays this year, but let's deconstruct a little bit of culture. 0.99

00:42:03.000 So everybody's mad at Amy Schumer. 0.98

00:42:06.000 There are a lot of good reasons to be mad at Amy Schumer, among them that she's not funny and she talks about her genitalia incessantly. 0.99

00:42:11.000 But Amy Schumer, it's not really worth being angry at Amy Schumer over making fun of a Beyonce video. 0.96

00:42:18.000 So there's this great worship of Beyonce that is now set out across the land.

00:42:22.000 If you do not bow before Queen Bey, then you are some sort of evil person.

00:42:27.000 SNL did a fantastic sketch on this probably a couple of years ago where they called the Baygency.

00:42:32.000 Where if you're not a member of the Bay, the Baygency will come and get you if you say you don't like Beyonce's song.

00:42:37.000 And the White House obviously extends this.

00:42:40.000 I mean, the Obamas worship the altar of Beyonce. 1.00

00:42:43.000 The media pretends she's a feminist while she wags her butt like a common prostitute in public. 1.00

00:42:47.000 It's just, it's silliness all the way around. 0.99

00:42:50.000 But one of our videos is this one called Formation.

00:42:52.000 And this has become very popular in civil rights circles because

00:42:56.000 It targets the police and says that the police are terrible.

00:42:59.000 Here's what it looks like.

00:43:03.000 What happened at the New Orleans?

00:43:05.000 I'm back.

00:43:06.000 I'm popular than that.

00:43:21.000 Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess.

00:43:25.000 Paparazzi catch my fly in my khaki fresh.

00:43:29.000 I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress.

00:43:33.000 I'm so possessive, so I rock his rock necklaces.

00:43:37.000 My dad in Alabama.

00:43:39.000 Mama, Louisiana. 0.95

00:43:41.000 You mix that Negro with that Creole, make a Texas Bama. 1.00

00:43:58.000 Okay, so this whole video is taking place in kind of poor Louisiana, and the idea here is that there's this wonderful culture that is worthy of imitation.

00:44:18.000 Okay, whatever, I don't really care.

00:44:20.000 But the idea that, first of all,

00:44:23.000 Beyonce actually can sing, and it's annoying to hear her do these routines where she doesn't actually have to sing, and she just sits around shaking her breasts, which is half this video. 0.91

00:44:30.000 But, you know, the lyrics here are, I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros, I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils, right? 0.85

00:44:37.000 So it's all about the idea of ethnic pride.

00:44:41.000 Okay, I have my own objections to this song because I don't believe in ethnic pride as a general rule.

00:44:45.000 As I've said before, just because Sandy Koufax is a Jewish picture did not make him an important Jew in any real sense.

00:44:51.000 But, Amy Schumer did a parody of this video and everyone lost their mind.

00:44:59.000 I'm back.

00:45:00.000 I'm popular as a man.

00:45:07.000 Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess.

00:45:11.000 Paparazzi catch my fly in my khaki fresh.

00:45:15.000 I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress.

00:45:19.000 I'm so possessive, so I rock his rock necklaces.

00:45:23.000 My dad in Alabama.

00:45:25.000 Mama, Louisiana.

00:45:27.000 You mix that Negro with that Creole, make a Texas bass. 1.00

00:45:36.000 Goldie Hawn on Cabo Carr and I guess everybody's mad because it was a black cultural video and now you got hot sauce in my bag swag. 0.76

00:45:46.000 And now to Amy Schumer.

00:45:48.000 Remaking this thing in a bizarre way that no one understands what's going on or why it happened or why this is funny or who's doing it or anything.

00:45:57.000 So she wrote this piece.

00:45:58.000 People lost their minds over this.

00:45:59.000 How dare Amy Schumer make a video making fun of a Beyonce video? 1.00

00:46:03.000 No one must mock the gods!

00:46:05.000 Okay, so here's what she wrote at Medium.com.

00:46:07.000 Saying I love Beyonce's album Lemonade is a huge understatement.

00:46:10.000 I believe it is one of the greatest pieces of art of our time.

00:46:13.000 First of all,

00:46:14.000 No, no, no, no.

00:46:17.000 Just no, no.

00:46:18.000 She says, we were shooting our movie in Hawaii this summer.

00:46:21.000 We were all crazy for the album and also for Hillary Clinton.

00:46:23.000 See, this is her demonstrating her bona fides.

00:46:25.000 She's a wonderful person because she loves Hillary. 0.77

00:46:28.000 We had rushed back to our television or phones to watch a stream of CNN to see the convention and watch Hillary and Michelle and so many extraordinary women speak

00:46:36.000 All of the women on set were bonded together from this music and from the election simultaneously.

00:46:40.000 It was a powerful time.

00:46:41.000 I love how the lyrics of Formation, Beyoncé is telling us to get in formation.

00:46:45.000 First of all, only Democrats could love the idea of being put in formation.

00:46:49.000 Also, I like to think she's telling us ladies to get in formation. 1.00

00:46:52.000 I did not mean to detract any of the meaning from the video.

00:46:54.000 I am of course horrified and sickened by the events that are addressed throughout that video and didn't see this as minimizing that and still don't.

00:46:59.000 People were saying this minimizes what happened in New Orleans and how terrible all of that was. 1.00

00:47:06.000 So stupid. 1.00

00:47:07.000 She says, Lemonade brought us all together. 1.00

00:47:08.000 We listened to the album and danced every day, always making everyone feel better no matter what we were going through.

00:47:13.000 We learned the dance to Formation.

00:47:14.000 It got us through the summer.

00:47:16.000 My stunt double even got a Lemonade tattoo because of how real and meaningful it was to her and to us.

00:47:21.000 Okay, Taylor's a tattoo aficionado. 1.00

00:47:23.000 Is that a smart tattoo or a stupid tattoo, Taylor? 1.00

00:47:25.000 That's a stupid tattoo, correct. 1.00

00:47:27.000 So, she says, we would use each location we shot at and do a part of the song. 1.00

00:47:30.000 It was never a parody.

00:47:31.000 It was just us women celebrating each other.

00:47:34.000 Even if it was a parody, who cares?

00:47:36.000 There's nothing to parody. 0.73

00:47:37.000 First of all, it's a crappy parody. 0.93

00:47:38.000 It's just a bunch of white people doing the exact same video for Formation, which is a crappy song with a crappy video. 0.99

00:47:44.000 And she says she has Beyonce's and Jay-Z's approval. 0.57

00:47:46.000 I didn't realize that we need approval now from the artists that we parody.

00:47:51.000 Just amazing.

00:47:51.000 But that's how over the top the cultural pressure has become that this is now something mildly controversial.

00:48:00.000 It's not even mildly, it isn't mildly controversial. 0.63

00:48:03.000 And the fact that everybody has to be pushed into line demonstrates how pathetic our modern culture has become.
