00:00:00.000Across America, leftists, many of whom certainly did not vote for Hillary Clinton, took to the streets to protest against Donald Trump's election.
00:00:07.000In LA, they tagged police cars with the graffiti F Trump.
00:00:10.000In New York, Lady Gaga led protests at Trump Tower, which is just awesome.
00:00:56.000We did not protest the election itself.
00:00:59.000And President-elect Trump, whom, by the way, I opposed throughout the primaries and didn't vote for during the general, and I think he's a bad person, but he hasn't done anything yet!
00:01:34.000If the Democrats are protesting Trump before he even does anything, what can we expect when he actually begins acting as president?
00:01:41.000Will the left begin engaging in mass violence beyond mere protest?
00:01:44.000The left's histrionic rioting helps generate exactly the sort of anger that led to a President Trump.
00:01:49.000Their continued rioting won't get him re-elected.
00:01:51.000Trump won because Americans didn't show up for Hillary, not because of some enormous search for Trump, who actually may end up winning fewer popular votes than Mitt Romney.
00:01:58.000But it certainly will not convince Americans to join the idiotic, ridiculous, and stupid anti-Trump crowd.
00:02:28.000First, we have to say hello to our friends over at Birch Gold.
00:02:30.000So, if in these uncertain times you are worried about the economy, I think
00:02:35.000Honestly, I'm a little less worried about the economy now than I was before, but I'm more worried about the Fed raising the interest rates, which would send real estate in the stock market plummeting.
00:02:42.000If you're worried about those sorts of things, you need to hedge your bets with birchgold.com.
00:02:53.000It's a 16-page kit about investing in precious metals.
00:02:55.000I have to say that everything is just hysterically funny.
00:02:56.000We've entered the realm of the absurd.
00:03:19.000And we are beyond anything remotely resembling reality.
00:03:23.000This alternative reality that we entered into about 15 months ago, now is going to continue for four years.
00:03:29.000And what's bizarre about this alternative reality is that people like me, who think that Donald Trump is basically a bad person, we're rooting eagerly for him to do some pretty good things.
00:03:38.000And I think he's going to do some pretty good things, particularly early in his presidency, but we'll get to that in a minute.
00:03:42.000First, we have to get to the story of the day.
00:05:21.000Trump giving the Trump finger to the press, the same finger that he used to fire Omarosa, he's giving to the press right now, sitting next to Barack Obama, who looks like he had a rod rammed straight up his ass.
00:05:33.000And Obama is sitting stark straight in his chair and gazing off into the distance like a Vietnam War vet who saw all of his buddies get blown away.
00:05:42.000And then behind them, behind them, is a bust of Abraham Lincoln, frowning at the
00:06:26.000Oh my god, you see the Statue of Liberty, the picture, the painting of the Statue of Liberty in the background as her torch goes out.
00:06:33.000You see Barack Obama sitting there, this guy who thinks that he is the God-King of the United States, the man who is supposed to be the great leader who restored America to dignity and wonder.
00:06:43.000And there's Barack Obama leaning into camera looking like he wants to die.
00:07:00.000I can't stand Donald Trump, as you know, on a personal level.
00:07:03.000I think that he's going to do some good things as president, or at least I hope he will, and I'm willing to give him time to change as a man.
00:07:10.000But the fact that he is who he is, is what makes this wonderful.
00:07:14.000If this had just been Marco Rubio accepting from Barack Obama, justice has not been done.
00:07:19.000The fact that it is Donald Trump accepting from Barack Obama is what makes this so wonderful.
00:07:23.000Because it is Donald Trump, a man who is a reality TV show clown man.
00:07:28.000Him accepting from a guy who considers himself to be the most dignified human ever to walk the earth.
00:07:46.000Because Obama's vision of himself, this is the truth about Obama and Trump.
00:07:51.000Trump is just Obama without some of the trappings.
00:07:55.000Not with regard to policy, with regard to personality.
00:07:57.000And the way I say this is that they're both narcissists, obviously, but beyond that, the reality TV show star nature of Donald Trump, and he is, I mean, this whole campaign was a reality TV show.
00:08:07.000That reality TV show star, the fact a reality TV show star is now the president-elect of the United States, that is a direct reflection of the fact that Barack Obama was a celebrity reality TV show star for eight years.
00:09:18.000You want to know how Donald Trump got to be president of the United States, it's all right here in this small clip from Jimmy Kimmel with Barack Obama.
00:09:25.000President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States, exclamation point, at real Donald Trump.
00:11:10.000Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
00:11:25.000Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic, because a fox often appears on Donald Trump's head.
00:11:38.000If you're at the Washington Post table with Trump and you can't finish your entree, don't worry, the fox will eat it.
00:11:46.000Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make a great president.
00:11:50.000Of course, he said the same thing about an old rusty birdcage he found.
00:11:59.000Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.
00:12:12.000Now I know that he's taken some flack lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald.
00:12:25.000And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter.
00:12:48.000All kidding aside, obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience.
00:12:56.000For example, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks.
00:13:13.000And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership, and so ultimately you didn't blame Little John or Meatloaf
00:13:31.000And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night.
00:13:34.000Okay, there's Barack Obama being a reality TV show star at the White House Correspondence Center, making fun of Donald Trump, doing it on Kimmel, making fun of Donald Trump.
00:13:41.000All of this is why Donald Trump is where Donald Trump is.
00:13:44.000The only way that you get to this level with the American presidency is because we've been there before, and we were there before in the form of a guy who thinks of himself as a dignified man who can sneer at Donald Trump.
00:13:54.000So, I just had to point out the absolute hilarity and wonder of it, because it truly is amazing and wonderful.
00:14:00.000We have to break for just a second, say hello to our friends over at Hint Water.
00:14:04.000So this water is delicious Hint water.
00:14:18.000It was started by a gal named Kara Golden.
00:14:20.000She was overweight and she'd been drinking diet soda and she decided that she wanted to actually create a better tasting water because water tasted boring and it does taste boring.
00:14:58.000On the hilarious side, there is Donald Trump visiting the White House and demonstrating in full karmic effect what Barack Obama is to the world, and it's just glorious.
00:15:07.000On the other comedic side, there are a bunch of anti-Trump protesters who have been going around making jerks of themselves, and they look like fools.
00:15:14.000And it does demonstrate what Trump is up against in the sense that the left has already pre-decided that he's going to be awful, and they're going to oppose anything he does.
00:15:22.000And that's not a shock, but I'm old enough to remember when Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped Barack Obama would fail and that his agenda would fail, and the left thought that was unpatriotic and awful.
00:15:30.000I guess we're back to the era of dissent being patriotic again.
00:15:33.000Here's a video of some anti-Trump protesters yesterday.
00:15:36.000There will be casualties on both sides!
00:15:38.000There will be, because people have to die to make a change in this world!
00:15:48.000Okay, and then she eventually says people are going to have to die on both sides.
00:15:52.000Yeah, lady, I don't see you doing the dying.
00:15:54.000And all these people who say they're going to participate in violent protests, there was a lot of talk that Donald Trump supporters would be violent.
00:16:02.000All the people who voted for Donald Trump were people who were very ticked at Barack Obama.
00:16:06.000None of them rioted after Barack Obama won in 2012.
00:16:10.000But Democrats get to get away with anything.
00:16:12.000UCSD, University of California, San Diego, you're seeing some of the same sort of stuff.
00:16:15.000Here's some of the students protesting, I think it was last night.
00:16:33.000It's not going to accomplish anything other than to toxify Trump before he even is able to do a single thing in office, which is really quite despicable.
00:16:43.000Now, you're free to do all this stuff.
00:16:45.000But the idea that Donald Trump is going to suddenly resign his office because a bunch of whiny college students have decided they don't want to accept the results of a duly enacted election, that's utter foolishness.
00:16:57.000Here's another anti-Trump protest breaking out, and it's from Mediaite.
00:17:01.000I'm here because my ancestors came to this country a hundred years ago, and they knew people who were burned in factory fires, and people like Donald Trump would have let them die and not allowed factory safety legislation to take place.
00:17:25.000I would love to see a poll of the people who are yelling about Trump and see how many of them who are protesting the elections, how many of them actually voted.
00:17:34.000I guarantee you a bunch of these people didn't vote.
00:17:36.000A bunch of these people didn't vote and now they're ticked off because they don't like the results of the election.
