Tonight, Barack Obama will descend from his palace in the sky, and all of the fawning legislators will bow before him. He will gaze up to the sky and tell us of our fate, and then he will spill chicken entrails. That's basically what the spectacle is going to be tonight. Plus, Hillary Clinton is now in a dogfight with Bernie Sanders. Plus some things that I like, some things I hate, and mostly things I just hate. Today is the big day. President Obama is set to give his State of the Union address, and we will preview it for you. Plus, I have to watch another Republican debate, and I am so upset about this. I could not possibly be more upset about the fact that John Kasich will be apparently air-chopping watermelons again at the debate. And I just found out last night that he was supposed to not be part of the debate and then they inserted him. So, you say I don t sacrifice to bring all of this knowledge to you? To bestow all of my intellectual wisdom upon you? Well, well, it's hard work, gang. You're not the only one who needs it, is it? I'm not the one who doesn't sacrifice to do it, I'm the one that needs it. That's right, I don't sacrifice, I do. . I do it because I'm a lot, and it's just as much as you do, and because it's my job and I'm too busy to do the work. and I can't be more than you can do it and you're not getting paid enough to do enough of it, so I'm going to do more than enough of what you need to be paid enough, right? You don't get enough of a chance to be a good enough of an education and you get enough opportunities to be good enough, you don't have enough of that, you're just not getting enough of the education you're getting enough opportunities, right enough of your education, enough of enough opportunities? you don t get enough, do you understand what you're being paid enough? You're enough enough? ? You can t be more important than you're enough, are you got it, right?? you can t have it? You don t need it, boy do you know what you deserve it, don't you??
00:01:16.000And in two days, I have to watch another Republican debate, and I just found out last night that John Kasich is gonna be part of that Republican debate.
00:01:24.000He was supposed to not be part of the debate, and then they inserted him.
00:01:29.000I could not possibly be more upset about the fact that John Kasich is going to be apparently air-chopping watermelons again at the debate, and it's...
00:01:39.000John Kasich, whose father, by the way, is a mailman.
00:01:41.000He will be at the debate, and I will have to watch that horrible debate in two days.
00:01:46.000So, you say I don't sacrifice to bring all of this knowledge to you?
00:01:50.000To bestow all of my intellectual wisdom upon you?
00:02:02.000The last time a President of the United States who was a Democrat left office after two terms, his State of the Union address, his parting shot, and Bill Clinton was famous for his parting shots, just ask Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky.
00:02:15.000Bill Clinton's parting shot was 88 minutes long.
00:03:43.000That built this economy are the things President Obama wants to destroy.
00:03:47.000So he says also there that there are no existential threats to the United States.
00:03:51.000This is a dichotomy that President Obama frequently drops.
00:03:55.000Things may be bad, but there are no existential threats to the United States.
00:04:00.000The idea that the only threats that matter to us are existential ones, that is a recipe for inaction.
00:04:05.000Because the truth is that in the entire history of America, and I've said this before, there have probably only been, really only been, two existential threats to the United States in the entire history of the United States since founding.
00:04:17.000Really only two existential threats to the presence of the United States.
00:04:23.000Even Hitler was not an existential threat to the United States.
00:04:26.000If the United States does not become enmeshed in war in Japan, Hitler probably leaves the United States alone while he conquers the rest of Europe.
00:04:32.000But President Obama says there are no existential threats.
00:04:37.000I'm not going to treat anything as a threat at all.
00:04:39.000Because he thinks that the only threats worth fighting are existential threats.
00:04:43.000If it's just a threat to 14 people in San Bernardino, or a cop in Philadelphia, or a couple of cops in New York City, or if it's a threat to 3,000 people in New York City, none of that is an existential threat to the United States.
00:05:52.000Politics in Washington are so much more divided than the American people are.
00:05:57.000And part of what I want to do in this last address is to remind people, you know what, we got a lot of good things going for us, and if we can get our politics right, it turns out that we're not as divided
00:06:14.000So we're not as divided as we were during the Civil War.
00:06:34.000Ask somebody from San Francisco whether they feel divided from somebody from Texas, or vice versa, and I'll tell you, the American people feel pretty divided.
00:06:41.000Ask blacks living in Ferguson, Missouri whether they feel more divided from whites who are living in St.
00:06:46.000Louis, and they will tell you, yeah, we're feeling divided.
00:06:49.000President Obama has played on these divisions in order to gain himself political power, in order to push forward his agenda.
00:06:55.000So, I want to give a couple of quick predictions for tonight, what President Obama is going to say, and what he's not going to say.
00:07:01.000And, you know, you can drink every time I get one of these predictions right, but as you know from listening to the Ben Shapiro podcast, or from watching the Ben Shapiro podcast,
00:07:37.000President Obama tonight is inviting a Syrian Muslim refugee to sit in Michelle Obama's box.
00:07:44.000And it's not gonna be the Muslim refugee who was arrested last week in the United States for siding with ISIS, or the Muslim refugee who was arrested last week, the other one, who was arrested in the United States for siding with ISIS.
00:07:57.000It'll be another Muslim refugee from Syria who's a nice, happy-dappy-do guy who suffered from cancer and lost a lot of family members in a bombing.
00:08:07.000Who bears a striking resemblance to Jar Jar Binks.
00:08:10.000I mean, if you have ever looked at a picture of the two of them side by side... First of all, you've never seen them both in the same place at the same time.
00:08:17.000I was wondering why Debbie Wasserman Schultz annoyed me so much, and then I realized last night, looking at a picture of her, that it's because she... They may have modeled Jar Jar Binks after Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
00:08:28.000We'll have to get the pictures together and put them up tomorrow, because it is kind of amazing.
00:08:32.000But, in any case, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she issued a letter, along with a bunch of other Democratic lawmakers, urging lawmakers to bring a Muslim to the State of the Union.
00:08:42.000To demonstrate that we don't hate Muslims.
00:08:44.000The letter said that we have to show the world that we will not be intimidated by fear into discrimination.
00:08:49.000So in order to do that, we have to make nice with People Like Care, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which actually has ties to terrorist groups, which was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, in that terror case.
00:09:03.000We have to bring those people in, and that'll show the world.
00:09:06.000Meanwhile, the radical Muslims, they're just laughing and laughing.
00:09:18.000I mean, we just had a guy shoot a cop in the middle of one of your major cities, and we just had two people murder 14 people in the middle of another one of your major cities, and we just killed 130 people in Paris, and we just raped 600 women or sexually assaulted 600 women across it.
00:09:32.000What do we have to do here to convince you people that we don't like you?
00:09:35.000And that maybe radical Islam is a threat, but apparently, according to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democrats, the true threat
00:09:42.000Is the evil lurking in the heart of Americans?
00:09:44.000And that's going to be the sort of dichotomous message of tonight's State of the Union.
00:09:50.000If you side with President Obama, you're on the side of the angels.
00:09:52.000If you don't, then you're an Islamophobic, nasty piece of work.
00:09:55.000And he's going to castigate you because he has to change your soul, as Michelle Obama once said.
00:10:01.000Something else he's going to do tonight, he's going to exaggerate the threat of gun violence.
00:10:04.000He's going to suggest that we have record gun violence in the United States, that people are being shot on every street corner, that gun owners are a threat to everyone.
00:10:35.000He'll talk about how abortion is a wonderful sacrament, and he's gonna brag about how he just vetoed a bill that cut funding to Planned Parenthood, and how it's imperative that in today's world women be allowed to murder their babies in the womb.
00:10:51.000That same-sex marriage is being used as a club to wield against religious Americans?
00:10:55.000He's going to ignore the fact that religious business owners are being fined hundreds of thousands of dollars just because they don't want to participate in what they perceive to be sin?
00:11:05.000He's not going to talk about that, but he'll talk about how same-sex marriage is just another step forward that we won't discriminate based on who you love.
00:11:20.000But President Obama will go on to call for wealth redistribution.
00:11:24.000He's gonna talk about how Obamacare's a massive, flaming success, even though there's a report today that Obamacare premiums are skyrocketing again, again.
00:11:33.000They're now apparently five to six times what Obama said they would be when he promised Obamacare was going to work.
00:11:38.000And finally, President Obama will wrap up with a call for racial reconciliation.
00:11:42.000He's gonna say that what happens in Baltimore and Ferguson, the Black Lives Matter movement, sometimes, this is just change, sometimes change manifests in ugly ways.
00:11:50.000He'll use almost these words, by the way.
00:11:52.000Sometimes change manifests in ways that we don't like, but this is the face of change.
00:11:56.000Change sometimes happens in ugly ways, but we have to get beyond all of these rifts, and the only way to do that is to really have it out in the public square, and that's what Black Lives Matter are doing, and that's why we have these debates, and we stand with cops, but we also stand with black Americans victimized by cops, etc., etc.
00:12:12.000So that's what President Obama is going to do tonight.
00:12:43.000People were all over Rick Perry for making mistakes all the time.
00:12:46.000It's ridiculous, I will say, for the media to go after Rick Perry for his campaign style, but to leave alone and just pretend that it's not a big deal that Hillary Clinton is legitimately a terrible campaigner.
00:13:25.000It is hard when you're swimming in the ocean to know exactly what's happening around you, so much as it is when you're standing on the shore, perhaps watching.
00:13:37.000For me, you know, look, I was born white, middle class, in the middle of America.
00:14:23.000The left is so mad at her for this answer, because it's a rambling, nonsensical answer.
00:14:27.000Because she wants to kowtow to the white privilege crowd, but she knows in her heart, Hillary knows in her heart, that her benefits have very little to do with her being white.
00:14:35.000And so she is desperately struggling against herself.
00:14:37.000She wants to say that when you exist in a world of white privilege, and you're a white person existing in the world of white privilege, that you don't even know where white privilege begins, and you get credit for your own actions.
00:14:48.000But if you're a black person from the outside, presumably, or a person of color from the outside, then you can identify all of these specific privileges that white people enjoy.
00:14:55.000That's what she's trying to say, although she's completely inarticulate.
00:14:58.000The fact is that Hillary Clinton is not the beneficiary of white privilege.
00:15:02.000She didn't grow up middle class, by the way.
00:15:13.000And Hillary Clinton went to the finest schools, and she always had it easy.
00:15:17.000Hillary Clinton lived her entire life on Easy Street.
00:15:19.000That had nothing to do with her color, and everything to do with the fact that her daddy was wealthy, and she could basically have daddy buy anything that she wanted for her, and the fact that she then married the future president of the United States.
00:15:30.000So there were a few things that she definitely benefited from, but Hillary has to try so hard
00:15:35.000To reach out to black folks, and it's clear that it's not really working very well.
00:16:53.000And it becomes higher profile when it's tied to international terrorism, because that seems like it's coming from the outside, and it's, you know, not homegrown.
00:17:04.000I saw homegrown terrorism in Oklahoma City, and I saw foreign terrorism in New York City.
00:17:13.000I saw people grieving over the loss of their loved ones and at some point we all have to come together as a country again and stand against violence and do something to get the guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them no matter who they are.
00:17:27.000Okay, that's an amazing answer and it demonstrates Hillary's not even fluent with her own talking points here.
00:17:33.000She just cited two terrorist attacks, 9-11 and Oklahoma City.
00:17:49.000Also, when Hillary Clinton says that we ought to fear every kind of terrorism, this is the democratic way of just shluffing off Islamic terrorism.
00:19:03.000It's literally wanting to turn the clock back to trickle-down economics, to repeal the Affordable Care Act, to, you know, go after a woman's right to make her health care decisions, defund Planned Parenthood, try to do what they can to derail marriage equality, on and on and on.
00:19:22.000I think it's important for voters to understand that if they don't want to see a Republican going back into the White House, then, you know, I think it's fair to say I'm the most prepared
00:19:36.000And that is Rachel Maddow interviewing... Oh no, sorry, that's Chris Hayes, right?
00:19:43.000In any case, Hillary Clinton says that Bernie Sanders is not really... She's super electable because nothing new will come out about her.
00:19:49.000Because she deleted everything, right?
00:19:51.000Nothing new will come out about her if she can help it.
00:19:54.000By the way, there are apparently 150 federal agents currently working on Hillary's corruption case, so there is obviously the chance she might be indicted.
00:20:02.000There's the possibility that she might be prosecuted.
00:20:05.000Bernie Sanders does better in national polling than Hillary, by a long shot.
00:20:08.000Hillary actually loses to Ted Cruz in the latest national polling.
00:20:11.000She loses by four points to Ted Cruz and five points to Marco Rubio in the latest national polling, and she's neck and neck with Donald Trump.
00:20:19.000Bernie Sanders is not going to win the nomination, but he should be a telltale sign that the Democratic Party has moved so far to the left that it's just a matter of time until someone like Bernie Sanders, who's not old and crotchety, ends up winning the nomination.
00:20:31.000Barack Obama is basically Bernie Sanders, just not Bernie Sanders.
00:20:35.000And it's kind of amazing, but the truth is that Joe Biden said it straight out this week.
00:20:41.000Joe Biden was praising Bernie Sanders.
00:20:42.000Joe Biden wishes desperately he had not dropped out of this race.
00:20:45.000He feels like if he had not dropped out, he would actually be competing in Iowa and New Hampshire and he could win the nomination.
00:20:51.000And I have to say, that's probably true.
00:20:53.000He would have a solid shot at the nomination, Joe Biden, if he had not dropped out of the race.
00:20:56.000Here's Joe Biden praising Bernie Sanders.
00:20:59.000And again, he's leaving the door open.
00:21:00.000He was asked yesterday, are you ruling out a presidential run?
00:21:04.000And Joe Biden said, I never say never.
00:21:11.000Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real, and he has credibility on it.
00:21:20.000And that is the absolute enormous concentration of wealth in a small group of people with the middle class now being able to be shown being left out.
00:22:27.000He went on in that interview, by the way, to say everybody's a democratic socialist.
00:22:30.000He said, Bernie calls himself a socialist, but the truth is that Bernie agrees with me and he agrees with Hillary, which is why Hillary Clinton has had so much trouble trying to distinguish between
00:22:40.000What is socialism versus what is capitalism?
00:22:43.000What is socialism versus what does it mean to be a Democrat?
00:22:45.000Because the answer is there is no difference and Bernie Sanders is proof positive of that.
00:22:50.000So Hillary is is very very vulnerable in this in this particular election cycle.
00:22:57.000And yet, and yet, the Republicans seem bound and determined to lose an election to Hillary Clinton.
00:23:03.000I discussed yesterday David Brooks of the New York Times, and David Brooks is considered the faux-conservative, he's considered the conservative at the New York Times, which is just, I mean, that's like being, you know, the Menshevik at the Bolshevik Convention.
00:23:18.000He's not conservative, he's a leftist.
00:23:19.000But David Brooks, he wrote a piece for the New York Times today in which he called Senator Ted Cruz, he actually called him brutal,
00:23:41.000Cruz's behavior in the Haley case is almost the dictionary definition of Phariseeism, an overzealous application of the letter of the law in a way that violates the spirit of the law, as well as fairness and mercy.
00:23:53.000Okay, I'm not going to go into biblical commentary about the differences between Judaism and Christianity, and why Judaism is Phariseeism, and why the New Testament actually mixes up
00:24:03.000Being a Pharisee and being a Sadducee, but in any case, that's a historical conversation for another time.
00:24:09.000When David Brooks says that Cruz is a stranger to humility, mercy, compassion, and grace, what he actually means by this is that Ted Cruz doesn't agree with him that government ought to use the power of the government gun to push through David Brooks' concept of mercy, compassion, and grace.
00:24:26.000So what he says is, Cruz's speeches are marked by what you might call pagan brutalism.
00:24:31.000There's not a hint of compassion, gentleness, and mercy.
00:24:33.000Instead, his speeches are marked by a long list of enemies and vows to crush, shred, destroy, and bomb them.
00:24:38.000When he is speaking in a church, the contrast between the setting and the emotional tone he sets is jarring.
00:24:43.000The fact is, his apocalyptic diagnosis is ridiculous.
00:24:47.000The Obama administration has done things people like me strongly disagree with.
00:24:50.000But America is in better shape than any other major nation on Earth.
00:24:57.00014 million new jobs have been created in five years.
00:24:59.000Obama has championed a liberal agenda, but he hasn't made the country unrecognizable, is what David Brooks thinks.
00:25:05.000This is why the Republican Party is going to lose to a non-entity like Hillary Clinton.
00:25:09.000Hillary Clinton is a political manipulator who has found herself in the midst of a left wave, and she doesn't really know what to do with it.
00:25:19.000But at the same time, the Republicans, who really could be pushing forward in this space, they really could be pointing out the fact that we are at an inflection point.
00:25:28.000And as I've been saying for days now, weeks now, months now, the difference in the Republican Party is the people who think that we're at a low point in America's history, but
00:25:36.000We're, you know, five seconds from correcting it, and really, Obama's bad, but he ain't that bad.
00:25:41.000And people like me who believe that Barack Obama is maybe the worst thing ever to happen to the country, certainly since the Civil War, the worst thing to happen to America, and that he is, in fact, a causing and driving force
00:25:54.000In turning America into something that is unrecognizable.
00:25:57.000In fact, we are turning into something unrecognizable.
00:25:59.000A nation where the government can force you to buy things.
00:26:01.000A nation where the government can force you to violate your religion on pain of fine and jail.
00:26:06.000A nation where the government can force you to do pretty much anything it wants and then fine you and jail you if you disagree.
00:26:13.000I think that if you agree with David Brooks, you think that Ted Cruz is a madman because he talks about this catastrophic future.
00:26:19.000If you agree with me, then you believe that David Brooks is mad or at least, at the very least, oblivious for suggesting that Barack Obama is basically hunky-dory.
00:26:27.000The reason that David Brooks is ripping on Ted Cruz this way is not even because of the rhetoric.
00:26:31.000It's because if Ted Cruz were to speak in the same jarring terms about why government should be involved in helping everybody, he'd be a Democrat and David Brooks would basically be okay with him.
00:26:42.000And this is why Hillary can be a non-entity, but so long as the Republican Party keeps running non-entities, they're gonna have trouble beating Hillary Clinton.
00:26:50.000David Brooks is not a conservative in any way, shape, or form, and it's just demonstrative of the fact that if you are going to get love from the mainstream media, it's probably because you are not a conservative in the first place.
00:27:01.000Okay, on to some things that I like and some things that I hate.
00:27:05.000And, you know, things that I hate, needless to say, the State of the Union.
00:27:43.000So check out Jim Croce if you've never heard any Jim Croce.
00:27:45.000I'm sure most people who watch have heard this, but for the youngsters, people who are my age, and most of the people who listen to the podcast, watch the podcast, are between the ages, we know, of 18 and 35 years old.
00:27:55.000If you haven't heard of Jim Croce, check him out.
00:28:09.000He's going to follow his State of the Union with a media tour.
00:28:13.000His media tour is going to be a media tour with YouTube stars.
00:28:17.000So the President of the United States, who is supposedly, you know, the man who has elevated the national rhetoric, a man who has not divided us, he is going to be interviewed by a bunch of YouTube stars, including Ingrid Nelson, who's known as Miss Glamorazzi, Destin Sandin of the science channel Smarter Every Day, and Adande Thorne, aka Swoozie,
00:28:39.000All of them have over 3 million subscribers on YouTube and they will ask questions of him.
00:28:44.000And they all posted videos expressing their excitement at President Obama degrading the office of the presidency once again by putting himself in front of the selfie sticks of the YouTube crowd.
00:28:55.000And again, I'm not somebody who's really snooty about the people who you're interviewed by, but President Obama purports to be
00:29:38.000Well now, apparently, the new fashion deal, Burberry,
00:29:43.000Which is another one of these brands that cost a fortune for stuff that you could buy for like half the price on a street corner.
00:29:48.000Burberry has now brought out its new line.
00:29:52.000And its new line, they say, is men wearing sparkly things.
00:29:56.000So here is a picture of what they think is going to be the new men's fashion style.
00:30:03.000For men, or for people who can't see, again, this is why you need to subscribe to The Daily Wire, and you need to subscribe to our podcasts.
00:31:07.000I mean, Mashable is the place that brings you pictures of eight-year-old children and Dragon tells you what heroes the parents are.
00:31:13.000Mashable, they say, though track jackets in complete sequin could look a little garish, the brand paired each of the looks with tailored outerwear pieces, such as duffel coats, topcoats, military MP coats, and, of course, its trenches.
00:31:26.000This balance of yin and yang, youthful and traditional, with its styling made for a charming collection.
00:31:31.000See, it's refreshing to witness a stalwart brand like Burberry take a firm stance on expanding the definitions of masculinity.
00:31:40.000The modern man is not bound by rigid, outdated definitions of manhood.
00:31:43.000He can bend, twist, and be as playful as he wants.
00:32:31.000But more traditionally masculine, in the sense that masculinity has been built around the idea that you protect a woman, and that you produce children.
00:32:39.000Like, these have been two traditional hallmarks of masculinity, and I know this is now politically incorrect.
00:32:43.000We have to switch the definitions of everything.
00:32:45.000I'm not saying whether masculinity is good or bad, notice.
00:32:48.000There are people who think it's a very bad thing.
00:32:50.000But some of the traditional aspects of masculinity have included dressing differently than women, and also fathering children, and protecting women.
00:32:58.000I think these are all plenty good things.
00:32:59.000I think there's a reason that the Bible says that men should not dress like women, and women should not dress like men.
00:33:04.000I think that distinctions between the sexes are important, and it's important to reinforce those distinctions between the sexes.
00:33:09.000Now, I will say, I think there is a brand of man who will wear this who's not gay and has nothing to do with sexuality.
00:33:15.000I think that there are Israeli guys who wear tracksuits to synagogue, who would wear Burberry sparkly sequined outfits.
00:33:22.000I think that there are black rappers who would wear Burberry sparkly sequined outfits.
00:33:25.000I think there are Russian mobsters who would wear Burberry sequined outfits.
00:33:29.000What I will say is that the idea that we're gonna mainstream sequins for men, that this is some sort of push forward on behalf of sexuality and sexual orientation,
00:33:39.000Tell the guys who are unloading off of the ships on World War II onto the beaches of Normandy that this is what they were fighting for.
00:33:44.000It was the right of men to wear sequins.
00:33:46.000This is what masculinity would become.
00:33:47.000That their great-grandchildren would be focused specifically on their own bravery in wearing sequins.
00:34:06.000USC is now requiring students to disclose the number of sexual encounters they have had.
00:34:11.000A mandatory online course at the University of Southern California, according to Campus Reform,
00:34:15.000Asked students to disclose the number of sexual encounters they've had over the past three months and teaches students to ask for consent by saying how far would you be comfortable going and would you like to try this with me?
00:34:27.000In an email obtained by Campus Reform, students were told they must complete the Title IX training in order to register for courses in the spring.
00:34:33.000So if you want to even register, you have to say how many sexual partners you've had, and you have to go through training that teaches you that if you're about to have sex with somebody, you have to ask them questions like, how far would you like to go, and would you like to try this with me?
00:34:49.000Nothing is sexier than that, by the way.
00:34:50.000You're in the middle of going at it with your significant other, and you stop and you say, how far would you like this to go?
00:34:55.000There's actually a very funny episode of New Girl, in which Zoe Deschanel, how do you pronounce her last name?
00:35:04.000Zoe Deschanel, it's a flashback of her from prom night in high school, and she's dating a guy who's a complete feminist.
00:35:11.000And he's asking her permission every step of the way, and it's a very funny bit.
00:35:17.000But this is basically what they're creating, is they're creating a world where if you're masculine and you want to defend women, and you want to be a man, and you want to dress like a man, and you want to have kids, that's bad.
00:35:27.000But then because it turns out that men react with aggression, because men are aggressive by nature, then we have to create rules like you have to ask for a signed permission slip every step of the way in order to fight the rape culture.
00:35:38.000I have another way of fighting the rape culture.
00:35:50.000And now all that's gone and we went back to the rape culture and it turns out now the only way to get rid of the rape culture in the absence of civilization is to turn men into women.
00:35:58.000And so we are fully on board with that.
00:36:02.000Well, welcome to the new United States under President Barack Obama.
00:36:05.000I'm sure you'll hear all about it tonight in all of its glory.
00:36:08.000I hope that you dramatically enjoy not watching the State of the Union Address tonight.
