On the eve of Trump's Inauguration, Hollywood and the media are doing exactly what they said they would not do on the day of the big day. They are lecturing the President and the Vice President, and they do it in a shrill and over the top manner that will ensure that Americans don t take them seriously. Here are just a few of the latest Hollywood idiot stories: The near-century-old members of Green Day have released a new song tearing into Donald Trump, Michael Moore is the same guy who said that Trump supporters are legal terrorists, but actual terrorists are minutemen. Joss Whedon, the guy behind the mediocre Avengers flicks, jokes about Paul Ryan being raped to death by a rhino Nicole Kidman had the temerity to say that the President ought to be given a baseline level of support, and then tweeted out that she was a, quote, " puppet for Trump." Broadway s Jennifer Holliday was forced out of the inauguration due to death threats, so is Andrea Bocelli, who is a mediocre negro by Mark Lamont Hill for meeting with Trump over inner-city community development. And then, Hollywood wonders why Americans don't take them serious on politics? and then they wonder why Americans just get sick when they see covers like that one from Variety posing with the flag. Yes, we live in troubled times! Yes, a new day dawning comes without warning, so don't think twice.

00:00:37.000First off, we should never be lectured by the likes of Lena Dunham, a self-described sexual abuser of her own sister, or Michael Moore, the guy who does propaganda about the glories of Cuba's health care.
00:00:47.000Hollywood seems completely oblivious to the fact that their shrill hysteria over Trump's election actually drives Americans into Trump's camp.
00:00:56.000Here are just a few of the latest Hollywood idiot stories.
00:00:59.000First, the near-octogenarian members of Green Day have released a new song tearing into Donald Trump, cobbling together footage of KKK rallies with Trump talking.
00:01:07.000Billy Joe Armstrong 44 warbles, a new day dawning comes without warning, so don't think twice, we live in troubled times.
00:01:15.000Meanwhile, Joss Whedon, the guy behind the mediocre Avengers flicks, jokes about Paul Ryan being raped to death by a rhinoceros.
00:01:21.000Nicole Kidman had the temerity to say that the president ought to be given a baseline level of support, and Whedon then tweeted out that she was a, quote, puppet for Trump.
00:01:29.000Broadway's Jennifer Holliday, she was forced out of singing at the inauguration due to death threats.
00:01:33.000Too bad she didn't lecture Mike Pence at a show or anything, then she'd be a hero.
00:01:36.000Holliday wasn't the only one ousted from the inauguration over death threats.
00:01:53.000At least half of Americans feel scorned by Hollywood.
00:01:56.000And they should, because Hollywood scorns them.
00:01:58.000When I researched my book, Primetime Propaganda, I spoke with the top creators in Hollywood history.
00:02:03.000They thought I was a leftist, so they freely admitted to discriminating against conservatives in Hollywood, and picturing middle Americans as rubes and racists, and treating their shows as propaganda outlets for their viewpoints.
00:02:13.000No wonder Americans just get sick when they see covers like the one from Variety.
00:02:24.000Treating Lena Dunham like a moral voice, despite her ardent love for abortion and her overt bragging about masturbating next to her 11-year-old sister in bed,
00:02:32.000Yeah, that sort of nauseates Americans, too.
00:02:34.000Acting as though Chelsea Handler, a woman who said she should be applauded for her two abortions, as a beacon of light?
00:02:42.000Nothing drives Americans away from leftism quite like the specter of uber-rich, uber-famous, uber-immoral leftists treating them as dreck to be scraped from their shoes.
00:02:50.000It worked so well for Hillary Clinton, she's creeping around the woods of Chappaqua as Donald Trump becomes the 45th president of the United States.
00:03:03.000Yes, we have tons to get to as always today.
00:03:05.000Very exciting show planned for you with a lot of deconstructing of culture coming up near the end, a lot of race talk, lots of stuff going on.
00:03:12.000But first, we have to say thank you to one of our great sponsors, Birch Gold.
00:03:16.000So, if you're interested in investing in precious metals, then Birch Gold is the way to do it.

00:03:52.000And if you're concerned about the future of the economy, and who wouldn't be considering how volatile the economy is and will continue to be, you need to have at least part of your portfolio in precious metals.
00:04:02.000Ask all your questions at birchgold.com slash ben, birchgold.com slash ben, and then they're the people I would trust to invest in precious metals.
00:04:14.000With the continued racial fallout over Donald Trump's inauguration.
00:04:18.000So, the left has to turn everything into a racial issue.
00:04:22.000It's just imperative for them to do so.
00:04:24.000And so, they continue to trot forward John Lewis, the congressman from Georgia and the civil rights hero, to claim that Donald Trump is not really legit.
00:04:33.000It turns out, and by the way, that John Lewis actually, this is the second inauguration he's boycotting, he also boycotted George W. Bush's inauguration.
00:04:41.000Is it possible that John Lewis is doing this not because he thinks that Trump is illegitimate, but because he's a leftist and Trump is apparently not?
00:05:25.000Presumably they wouldn't have boycotted her inauguration, but there is an attempt to boycott
00:05:29.000Trump because they're trying to draw racial lines.
00:05:31.000They're trying to say, a lot of members of the left black community, they're trying to say that the only legitimate black people are the people who will stand up against Trump and who will not offer him any sort of support or even the possibility of support in the future.
00:05:44.000Maxine Waters, who is a nutcase congresswoman from out here in California, she's the one who dubbed the LA riots the LA uprising.
00:05:53.000She is extraordinarily radical on racial matters.
00:05:55.000She says that Trump should be impeached preemptively.
00:05:58.000Well, here's what I'm trying to get to.
00:06:00.000If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise strategy, if they're the ones who came up with crooked Hillary, if they're the ones who came up with she's ill, something's wrong with her energy, and the way that he basically, you know, described her in the campaign, I think that is something that would
00:06:25.000Put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.
00:06:29.000Okay, so she's talking about impeachment, and she's not the only one.
00:06:33.000A lot of them are getting ready for trouble.
00:06:34.000Al Sharpton, who is one of the world's great race baiters, a man who was involved in the incitement of riots against Orthodox Jews in Crown Heights in 1991, was involved in incitement of riots against something called Freddy's Fashion Mart that ended with the death of several people in an arson.
00:06:47.000Al Sharpton is still seen by the left as some sort of racial conciliator, even though he has spent his entire career smearing people falsely.
00:06:56.000And now Sharpton is using his platform, whatever is left of it, to rip on Trump and suggest that he is not a legitimate president either.
00:07:04.000I think that there's no question that the process that elected him was not legitimate.
00:07:09.000When you look at the now evidence from the intelligence agencies that there was the influence from the Russians and involved in the public discourse at the time of the election, when you look at those that were expunged from being able to vote, clearly the process has serious questions about it.
00:07:33.000Okay, so you got Al Sharpton doing this routine.
00:07:36.000Now, there are some black folks who have met with Trump and have come away saying some relatively nice things about Trump.
00:07:44.000He's inviting a lot of high-profile black folks to the Trump Tower to try and reach out and make overtures and suggest that he's going to make life better for black Americans, not just
00:07:52.000Well, I'll tell you, when you win against all odds, and you defeat those who are against you, and I was for Hillary, so I'm one of those who Mr. Trump defeated.
00:08:20.000But he is the president-elect of the United States.
00:08:27.000I'm going to pitch in and do some of the things that I can do with the like-minded people that I represent.
00:08:34.000And he's in, you know, so there's his perspective.
00:08:37.000Stephen A. Smith has said something similar, says just because you're giving Donald Trump a chance doesn't mean that you're doing anything racially wrong.
00:08:43.000When noted comedian and host of the hit show Family Feud, Steve Harvey, exited from a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump last week calling him, quote, a great man, end quote, to say there was a backlash would be a gross understatement.
00:08:56.000The word cool and sellout was immediately thrown out.
00:08:59.000His friend and contemporary DL Hughley wasn't happy either, aiming his vitriol at Trump instead of Steve Harvey.
00:09:06.000And of course, it provided the perfect excuse for naysayers to accuse sports greats like Jim Brown and Ray Lewis of being used as photo ops weeks ago.
00:09:14.000But on a day like today, when we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., along with his undeniable historical impact, perhaps it's time for all of us to see the big picture.
00:09:24.000To essentially pay more attention to the issues permeating our society, what it'll take to resolve them, and connecting ourselves to who we ultimately can hold accountable, rather than focusing on disdain for that very individual in a position to make a difference, knowing that's not about to get us anywhere.
00:09:40.000So there are a lot of people who hate Stephen A. Smith.
00:09:42.000Stephen A. Smith actually will speak truth on racial matters far more often than a lot of his compatriots on ESPN.
00:09:49.000So there's a small cadre of high-profile black figures who have met with Trump, and this is driving the left.
00:09:57.000Baddie, just as driving them up a wall.
00:09:58.000Marc Lamont Hill, he's a frequent guest on Fox News, on CNN all the time.
00:10:03.000He's also a professor at Morehouse College, and he was in a debate about Steve Harvey visiting Trump Tower with a member of the sort of Trump team, the person he's talking to here.
00:10:14.000is a fellow named Bruce Lavelle, I guess, and he's the National Diversity Coalition for Trump director.
00:10:20.000Bruce Lavelle, that's the black guy who you will see second from the left there.
00:10:23.000I think that's Jemma Greene, and I can't remember the name of the anchor here.
00:10:27.000In any case, the only two who matter for this particular conversation are the two on the right-hand side of your screen, and that would be Marc Lamont Hill and Bruce Lavelle.
00:10:37.000And here is them going at it over the fact that Steve Harvey met with Trump.
00:10:41.000It was a bunch of mediocre negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo op for Donald Trump's exploitative campaign against black people, and you are- Mark.
00:10:51.000How are you gonna- So now you want a name call, Mark.
00:10:53.000Simone, you better jump in if you want to talk.
00:10:59.000Okay, so he calls them—if you missed it, because it was pretty quick there—he calls them mediocre Negroes.
00:11:04.000That's what Marc Lamont Hill says there.
00:11:06.000So here's how this conversation actually went.
00:11:07.000What happened is that Hill talked about people like Steve Harvey and Jim Brown.
00:11:11.000He said, to keep bringing comedians and actors and athletes to represent black interests is demeaning, it's disrespectful, it's condescending.
00:11:17.000Bring some people up there with some expertise, Donald Trump.
00:11:19.000Don't just bring up people to entertain.
00:11:21.000And so Bruce Lavelle said, well, you don't even know what they talked about.
00:11:24.000And Hill said, well, unless Steve Harvey turned into a policy analyst in the behind-the-scenes meeting, it doesn't matter whether I was there.
00:11:31.000My concern is the people he's trumpeting up and putting in front of the cameras.
00:11:34.000And then, after Lavelle said that that was silly, Hill explodes.
00:11:39.000It's a bunch of mediocre Negroes being dragged in front of TV
00:11:43.000As a photo op for Donald Trump's exploitative campaign against black people, and you are a prime example of that.
00:11:48.000So Bruce Lavelle is a prime example of a mediocre negro being dragged in front of TV as a photo op for Donald Trump's exploitative campaign against black people.
00:12:31.000Celebrities campaigning for Democrats, that's totally fine.
00:12:34.000And, you know, you have Lamont Hill saying that it's just terrible that Trump would meet with all of these black celebrities to push his particular agenda for inner cities.
00:12:43.000Leonardo DiCaprio was invited to the White House by Barack Obama to discuss global warming just back in October.
00:12:48.000Angelina Jolie came to the White House and talked with Obama about Sarajevo.
00:12:56.000Brad Pitt, at the same time that she was meeting with President Obama, Brad Pitt was talking with Vice President Biden about New Orleans rebuilding.
00:13:23.000And Marc Lamont Hill obviously had no problem with Meryl Streep ripping on Trump.
00:13:27.000It's also worth noting, by the way, Martin Luther King, during the March on Washington,
00:13:31.000He reached out to tons of celebrities.
00:13:33.000Joseph Mankiewicz, and Charlton Heston, and James Baldwin, and Paul Newman, and Jackie Robinson, and Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan, and Sammy Davis Jr., and Harry Belafonte, and Ruby Dee, and Burt Lancaster.
00:13:42.000If you look at the pictures, it was all celebrities.
00:13:55.000The reason Lamont Hill is really pissed is because, for the left, the left is, the entire kind of moral superiority, unearned moral superiority of the left is based on the unsupportable, unsubstantiated belief that they are the sole representatives of minority interests in America.
00:14:11.000That they stand up for these discreet and insular minorities against the evil American system.
00:14:16.000And so when there are black people who say, well, you don't stand for me, then they've got a problem because it sort of undermines their own identity.
00:14:24.000Well, if they can't represent all black people, then what exactly are they representing?
00:14:37.000Well then they get very very upset and they get to call people mediocre negroes.
00:14:41.000It's funny, Mark Lamont Hill once said that black people are incapable of racism because they don't have the institutional power in order to be responsible for racism.
00:14:50.000Well, Mark Lamont Hill certainly has the institutional power to be racist against Steve Harvey.
00:15:15.000The same thing is not true of your color.
00:15:17.000Your color, your birthplace, none of that matters when it comes to politics, but the left has to insist that all of that matters when it comes to politics, and so they have to cast out all traitors from the hall, and that means that, obviously, people like Jim Brown and Steve Harvey, they have to be thrown aside because Marc Lamont Hill thinks they're mediocre Negroes.
00:15:33.000Never mind that Steve Harvey, by the way, has an audience of four million people on his radio show every day, and is worth about a hundred million dollars.
00:15:49.000We'll get to more of that in just a second, but first, we have to direct your attention to another podcast that you should subscribe to right now on iTunes or Stitcher or Wondery.com, wherever you listen to podcasts, and that podcast is called Terms.
00:16:17.000We voted in, America votes in a really controversial president, and the two-term exiting president decides that he wants to do something to stop this guy from taking office.
00:16:26.000And what ensues from there is a really fascinating constitutional crisis, the sort of manipulation that goes on behind the scenes.
00:16:32.000As somebody who loves politics and as somebody who also loves political fiction, Terms is a great piece of work and you should definitely take a listen.
00:16:38.000You can subscribe again at itunesstitcherwondery.com or wherever you listen to the podcasts.
00:16:45.000So they bring out these new episodes every Monday and so you can listen to it every Monday as the episodes drop.
00:16:50.000They've got some back episodes obviously available and you can listen to those and catch up.
00:16:54.000So iTunes, Stitcher, Wondery or wherever you listen to podcasts, check it out right now and make sure that you subscribe.
00:17:02.000The Republicans react to all of this, all of this sort of race baiting, in the way that you would imagine they would react.
00:17:09.000Sean Spicer of the RNC comes out and says, look, John Lewis started all of this.
00:17:13.000The left is very upset that Trump is attacking John Lewis.
00:17:16.000John Lewis is the one who dropped the bomb here, it wasn't Trump.
00:17:19.000Let's talk about the latest battle we've just been reporting on between the President-elect and Congressman John Lewis.
00:17:26.000The President-elect attacking John Lewis' district, his service to this country.
00:17:30.000We're looking at four days to the run-up of the inauguration.
00:17:34.000Was this the proper way to handle this?
00:17:37.000Well, I think, Tamron, I want to just take it back a step, Tamron, because I think, you know, Congressman Lewis started this with your own Chuck Todd by saying that the election was illegitimate and that President-elect Trump was an illegitimate president.
00:17:50.000So, let's see where it started, which is you have this icon of voting and civil rights claiming that an election was illegitimate when there is zero evidence of that.
00:18:02.000That the election was duly held, there was no tampering with anything, and to see somebody of John Lewis's stature, an iconic nature who has worked so hard to enfranchise people and talk about getting people involved in our voting systems and talking about the integrity of our voting system, to then go out when the candidate of his choice doesn't win and try to talk about the de-litimization of the election is frankly disappointing.
00:18:26.000Okay, and Sean Spicer is exactly right.
00:18:28.000Now, in a second, we're going to have to break here on Facebook and YouTube, but in a second we're going to talk about why Sean Spicer and Trump actually gets it right, why Trump is popular with Republicans, and why Marco Rubio actually gets it wrong on John Lewis and Trump, which is something that is, you know, not...
