00:01:33.000Okay, so, we will get to all things Trump in a little while, but, you know, I do think that it's important once in a while not to talk about Donald Trump, because Donald Trump has dominated the podcast, he's dominated the news for so long, that it's easy to get sucked up into the maw of the all-Trump-all-the-time stuff.
00:01:49.000Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders had another one of their idiotic debates last night.
00:01:54.000And it is an idiotic debate because they don't really disagree on anything, they just sort of pretend they disagree on lots of stuff.
00:02:00.000So, Hillary Clinton had a lot of really bad moments.
00:02:04.000Let's start off with the guy who's opposing her and why he's so popular.
00:02:23.000There is nobody in the United States Congress who has taken on the Koch brothers who want to destroy Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and virtually every federal program passed since the 1930s more than Bernie Sanders.
00:02:46.000And I am proud that the gentleman who is head of Goldman Sachs, now he didn't give me $225,000 for speaking fees.
00:02:57.000He said I was dangerous and he is right.
00:03:25.000So, Bernie Sanders obviously capturing the hearts and minds of all of the little brains, and that's great.
00:03:31.000The reason he's doing that is because he is the most extreme candidate on the left, he's the most ideologically consistent, and he's not a liar.
00:03:38.000For all the things you can say about Bernie Sanders, he's not a liar.
00:03:41.000And he said that last night, he said to Hillary Clinton, listen, I will match my record to yours any day of the week, any day.
00:03:47.000No, I do not support vigilantes, and that is a horrific statement, an unfair statement to make.
00:03:53.000I will stand... ...for my career, political career, fighting for workers, fighting for the poorest people in this country.
00:04:04.000Madam Secretary, I will match my record against yours any day of the week.
00:06:18.000There's nothing that says courage quite like standing up in front of a hall filled with people who are thrilled with you all the time and having the two leading Democrats in America praise you as the bravest woman on the face of the earth.
00:06:29.000I mean, nothing says courage truly like that.
00:06:31.000But this is how extreme the Democrats have become, right?
00:06:34.000And all of these little narratives are designed to make Republicans look bad, of course.
00:06:38.000Oh, it's so terrible, a family that wasn't reunited.
00:06:47.000Or the guy could apply legally and get in that way.
00:06:50.000But, you know, again, the point here is that the Democrats have moved very far to the left.
00:06:54.000But I really want to get to a second point here, and that is Hillary Clinton is so weak.
00:06:58.000Bernie Sanders is better at this than she is, which is an amazing thing to say, since Bernie Sanders is a crazy old loon bag who screams at the moon.
00:07:11.000Hillary Clinton was asked about her emails by Jorge Ramos, why she had all of her emails stored on a private server so that she could hide them from people, and here was her answer.
00:07:20.000So it seems that you issued one set of rules for yourself and a different set of rules for the rest of the State Department.
00:07:27.000Who specifically gave you permission to operate your email system as you did?
00:07:52.000And as I've said, and as now has come out, my predecessors did the same thing, and many other people in the government.
00:08:00.000But here's the cut-to-the-chase facts.
00:08:02.000I did not send or receive any emails marked classified at the time.
00:08:07.000What you're talking about is retroactive classification.
00:08:12.000And the reason that happens is when somebody asks or when you are asked to make information public, I asked all my emails to be made public.
00:08:21.000Then all the rest of the government gets to weigh in.
00:08:24.000And some other parts of the government, we're not exactly sure who, has concluded that some of the emails should be now retroactively classified.
00:08:33.000They've just said the same thing to former Secretary Colin Powell.
00:08:37.000They have said, we're going to retroactively classify emails you sent personally.
00:09:24.000This is the beautiful thing about Democrats.
00:09:25.000This is what separates us from them, Republicans from Democrats, or used to before the advent of Donald Trump, is when people gave us BS nonsense like this, we used to stand up and say, no, this is BS nonsense.
00:10:31.000And if that weren't enough, last night Hillary was asked about a Benghazi victim's mother, who said that Hillary Clinton told her after the Benghazi victims were shipped back in their caskets.
00:10:41.000However, some of the families claim that you lied to them.
00:10:44.000Here's Pat Smith, the Mother Information Officer.
00:11:52.000I and everybody in the administration, all the people she named, the President, the Vice President, Susan Rice, we were scrambling to get information that was changing literally by the hour.
00:12:05.000And when we had information, we made it public, but then sometimes we had to go back and say we have new information that contradicts it.
00:13:41.000Others are also joining in making clear that his
00:13:46.000Rhetoric, his demagoguery, his trafficking in prejudice and paranoia has no place in our political system, especially from somebody running for president who couldn't decide whether or not to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke.
00:14:03.000So people can draw their own conclusions.
00:14:06.000So first of all, I love that she says one word in Spanish and she gets big cheers from this crowd.
00:14:10.000But you know, when Hillary Clinton says that he's a racist, he's going to come after you,
00:14:53.000Hillary's, her defense of her email stuff there, it looks bad.
00:14:57.000And if Trump looks her direct in the eye and says, you compromise national security, you're a criminal.
00:15:01.000Nothing that she says back to him is going to be as hard hitting as that.
00:15:05.000She's really vulnerable with blue collar white voters, which that's Trump's entire base.
00:15:09.000The reason that Trump is doing well right now is because he's getting all these 5 million dispossessed white voters out to the polls and he's saying to them, I'm your guy, right?
00:15:25.000Bernie Sanders beat her in Michigan because he did the same thing.
00:15:28.000The New York Times reported Mrs. Clinton lost badly in Michigan among independents, showed continued weakness with working class white Democrats.
00:15:37.000Hillary, by the way, is also weak outside the South.
00:15:39.000If you look at the electoral map, Sanders is winning big time outside of the South.
00:15:43.000She's winning all the states South of the Mason-Dixon line, which are minority heavy, but all of those states are red states.
00:15:49.000So if Trump does what Romney did, and he carries those states, he has a better shot to beat her up north than he would to beat maybe any other Democratic candidate.
00:15:56.000And finally, the more you see of Hillary, the less you like her.
00:15:59.000I mean, it's really hard to watch her.
00:16:01.000She's calculated, and she's conniving, and she comes off as highly political.
00:16:06.000Trump is conniving too, but he's actually bad at it.
00:16:09.000And it actually serves his interest that he's bad at it.
00:16:12.000Because he's really bad at... Trump is not good at politics.
00:16:15.000Everybody's acting like he's a genius at politics.
00:16:34.000I'm not sure he knows it has three sides.
00:16:36.000But because he's awkward at it, we think he's honest.
00:16:39.000It's easier to find Forrest Gump to be honest than it is to think that he's really outsmarting you.
00:16:44.000So people tend to give Trump the benefit of the honesty doubt, whereas Hillary is widely seen to be super, super corrupt.
00:16:51.000So that debate last night showed once again, Hillary is really weak.
00:16:54.000She's losing the hearts and minds, she really is, to, again, a man
00:17:01.000Who was last mentioned, I believe, in Chapter 3 of Genesis.
00:17:04.000And she's losing to him specifically because she's a bad candidate, not because he's any great shakes.
00:17:10.000Okay, meanwhile, on the other side of the Almajor controversy today, because Michelle Fields, who's a friend of mine and a reporter for Breitbart News, about a night and a half ago, this was the night that Trump won his big victories in Michigan and Mississippi,
00:17:24.000She went to report on the rally for Breitbart News, and according to her account, Trump was going through the crowd and he was talking to members of the press, and she says,
00:17:41.000Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down.
00:17:44.000I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance.
00:17:49.000The Washington Post's Ben Terris immediately remarked that it was Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who aggressively tried to pull me to the ground.
00:17:56.000I quickly turned around and saw Lewandowski and Trump exiting the building together.
00:18:00.000No apology, no explanation for why he did this.
00:18:04.000And I talked to Michelle at length last night.
00:18:28.000And Lewandowski has a history of this sort of thing.
00:18:30.000After the first Fox News debate, for example, when Megyn Kelly grilled Trump, you remember this, this is when Trump said she was bleeding out of her wherever, Lewandowski wrote a note to Fox News saying that Megyn Kelly had, quote, a rough couple of days after that last debate.
00:18:43.000I would hate to have her go through that again.
00:18:45.000Fox News then released a statement explaining, Lewandowski was warned not to level any more threats, but he continued to do so.
00:18:52.000We can't give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees.
00:19:13.000I told her she should go file a police report, which she should.
00:19:16.000I told her that she ought to lawyer up, which she should.
00:19:19.000Here is what the Trump campaign says through their new spokesperson, Hope Hicks, quote,
00:19:24.000And the accusation, which has only been made in the media and never addressed directly with the campaign, is entirely false.
00:19:30.000First of all, I should mention, there's a Daily Beast report, and the Daily Beast report said, openly, that what happened is that a Trump person went to Matt Boyle, who's another reporter at Breitbart, and said, we're sorry that happened, sort of.
00:20:06.000And by the way, Donald Trump is the guy who was making fun of Ted Cruz when Ted Cruz fired his communications director because his communications director retweeted a false video about Marco Rubio.
00:20:16.000He said that showed that Ted Cruz was corrupt.
00:20:18.000Donald Trump not only is not firing Lewandowski, Corey Lewandowski, who performed battery on a reporter and was witnessed doing this.
00:20:35.000As one of dozens of individuals present as Mr. Trump exited the press conference, I did not witness any encounter.
00:20:41.000In addition to our staff, which had no knowledge of said situation, not a single camera or reporter of more than 100 in attendance captured the alleged incident.
00:20:55.000Apparently Lewandowski was known to this Washington Post reporter.
00:21:09.000This person claims she does not want to be part of the news and only report it.
00:21:12.000However, if that was the case, any concerns, however unfounded they may be, should have been voiced directly first and not via Twitter, especially since no other outlet or reporter witnessed or questioned anything that transpired that evening.
00:21:24.000We leave to others whether this is part of a larger pattern of exaggerating incidents, but on multiple occasions, she has become part of the news story as opposed to reporting it.
00:21:32.000Recall she also claimed to have been beaten by a New York City police officer with a baton, and that's referring to a 2011 story.
00:21:38.000There is a picture, in fact, of her being pushed over by New York City police officers.
00:21:45.000The Washington Post, as stated, backed up her story and, in fact, were the original sources of the fact that it was Corey Lewandowski who pulled Michelle Fields to the ground.
00:21:54.000So this is the Trump campaign, and this is, you know, one of the disquieting things about the Trump campaign.
00:21:59.000I wanna show you a tweet that I received about this, about all of this, the Trump worship tweet, after I tweeted about this.
00:22:10.000Attacking real Donald Trump ruined all these men, and it's Ted Cruz, me, and Glenn Beck.
00:22:15.000And then it's a picture of Trump superimposed over a massive crowd, and it's a meme, and it says, when somebody attacks Trump, they are attacking we the people.
00:22:25.000I've spoken on this program, I talked about the movie Spotlight, and I've spoken on this program at length about the fact that when you have allegiance to an individual or to an institution, and that overcomes your allegiance to rights and decency, you end up in the camp of evil.
00:22:41.000Okay, when somebody attacks Trump, that doesn't mean they're attacking the people.
00:23:10.000Speaking of allegiance to individuals that are scary, there's so many people who have allegiance to President Obama and his massive centralized government.
00:23:19.000And that government does want your emails, it does want your data, and they do want to make sure they're keeping tabs on you.
00:23:23.000That's why you should go to reaganprivacy.com and get yourself an email address, yournameatreagan.com.
00:23:30.000This will take care of your privacy, they shield all your emails, they make sure that
00:23:33.000That it's never distributed for corporations who want to do marketing.
00:23:37.000It's never distributed to the government.
00:23:39.000And if you go to reaganprivacy.com, you get two free months right now.
00:23:44.000Again, it's kind of cool because your email address ends with reagan.com, which is kind of awesome because obviously you get to show all of your lefty friends who you really believe in.
00:23:53.000You believe in the philosophy, not the man, you believe in the philosophy of Ronald Reagan.
00:23:58.000So go to reaganprivacy.com and let them know that we sent you.
00:24:01.000Okay, so, back to this Trump guy attacking a reporter.
00:24:06.000So, this sort of mass movement that's built up around Trump is something that I find very disquieting.
00:24:11.000I've been very clear about how disquieting I find all of this.
00:27:16.000We're only a few days away from Tuesday, and right now all the Trump backers are just saying, let's get through till Tuesday, let's get through till Tuesday.
00:28:03.000So they're all going, they're being sucked away from Ted Cruz.
00:28:07.000That is the margin of error in these states.
00:28:08.000That is the margin of victory for Trump in these states.
00:28:11.000If Trump wins Florida, but he loses Missouri and Ohio and North Carolina, if he loses Illinois as well, then Trump, there's no way he's gonna win the nomination if that's the case.
00:28:52.000And I want you to know, as difficult as things may seem, I want you to know what history is going to say about us if we do what needs to be done.
00:29:02.000Okay, so he says that the person who wins Florida is going to win, and he says it's going to be him.
00:29:20.000A lot of people have been saying that the reason that Rubio floundered here is because he attacked Trump.
00:29:25.000OK, that's ignoring the fact that Rubio had already finished fifth in New Hampshire at the time when he started going on the offensive against Donald Trump.
00:29:32.000And he'd already finished not well in South Carolina.
00:29:35.000He finished like a second, but he was basically tied with with.
00:31:27.000No, I think Bernie Sanders is a socialist, which he admits.
00:31:30.000And I think Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be President of the United States because of the way she handled her email server and because of the way she treated the families of the victims of Benghazi.
00:31:39.000Look, the bottom line is I don't want him to be our nominee.
00:31:41.000The fact that you're even asking me the question tells you why this is a problem.
00:31:45.000If anyone else, if John Kasich was where Donald Trump is now, if Jeb Bush is where Donald Trump is now, nobody would be asking that question.
00:31:53.000By the way, I was just going to say, would you be out of the race if this were John Kasich and not... And that's the point.
00:31:57.000The point is that no matter what I say today about supporting or not supporting the nominee, there's a significant percentage of Republicans that are not going to vote for Donald Trump.
00:32:05.000And that is why he will get destroyed in the general election.
00:32:24.000The pollster, Nate Silver, he came out and he said, if this had been a one-on-one Cruz vs. Trump matchup from the beginning, Cruz would have been walking away with the delegates already.
00:32:32.000So, Rubio staying in has prevented that consolidation.
00:32:35.000Cruz is begging people, please unite behind me.
00:32:40.000If you don't believe Donald Trump is the best nominee for Republicans, if you recognize, as 65 to 75 to 70% of Republicans do, that Donald loses to Hillary in the general,
00:32:51.000Then I would encourage Republicans, even if you were supporting another candidate, to come, join Carly, join the millions of conservatives who are coming together unifying behind our campaign.
00:33:27.000Cruz, for all of the talk, and I've talked about this, about how he looks dishonest, it's just an unfortunate part of his face, how he does his hair, just, he looks dishonest.
00:33:35.000So here's what Ted Cruz said about Donald Trump voters, what he thinks about Donald Trump voters the other night.
00:33:40.000Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged, and who are angry, and they see him as an angry voice.
00:33:50.000Where we're beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed.
00:33:54.000When they inform themselves, they realize his record.
00:34:29.000Ted Cruz should lead off this debate by calling on Donald Trump to fire Corey Lewandowski.
00:34:34.000He should say that Donald Trump is a sexist for doubting what this woman says that has been backed up by verified testimony, essentially, from another reporter.
00:35:40.000This is a I think one best foreign film in 2005, and this film is about the East German Stasi and the main character is an East German Stasi guy who's tasked to listen in on this dissident artist who may or may not.
00:35:55.000Be smuggling information to the West about how terrible the Communist regime is.
00:35:59.000And over the course of time, as he spies on this guy, he becomes convinced that the guy is actually right, and he ends up protecting the guy.
00:37:14.000Like, people who are accusing me of being a lefty are going to be justified on this one because Barack Obama actually says something right here.
00:37:21.000It's been nearly eight years since I've said those words.
00:37:24.000No, it's actually been forever since I've said those words, but eight years since he's been elected.
00:37:28.000Here's Barack Obama talking about college campuses that have no tolerance for opposing points of view.
00:37:34.000Now, one thing I do want to point out is it's not just sometimes
00:37:42.000Folks who are mad that colleges are too liberal that have a problem.
00:37:48.000Sometimes there are folks on college campuses who are liberal and maybe even agree with me on a bunch of issues who sometimes aren't listening to the other side.
00:41:12.000If you want to look at something that happens when you decide political correctness has to trump comedy,
00:41:17.000And look at this, and they couldn't even do it right here.
00:41:18.000They're all pissed off because the black lady in this thing is the ignorant one, right?
00:41:23.000If they'd really been politically correct, then she would have been the smartest one, right?
00:41:25.000She would have been the genius scientist, and it would have been like Kristen Wiig, who is actually the idiot who works for the New York subway station.
00:41:32.000So this is the whole thing just looks like.
00:41:34.000It looks awful, awful, awful, awful in every way it's possible for it to be awful.
00:41:39.000Something that looks even more awful is this trailer for a new movie called Confirmation.
00:41:43.000Kerry Washington, who just only does lefty ridiculous projects now, they've decided to make a biopic about Anita Hill.
00:41:50.000For people who don't remember, Anita Hill was the lady who said that Clarence Thomas once said to her when she was working with him, she didn't complain about it at the time or file a complaint or anything, she said that he had made a joke about a pubic hair on a Coke can.
00:42:04.000Her grand victimization is a guy made a joke about a pubic hair on her Coke can.
00:42:10.000Okay, as someone who works in an office with women, there are lots of jokes that get made all the time.
00:42:24.000But this was happening at the exact same time it was coming out that Bill Clinton had allegedly raped people and sexually assaulted people.
00:42:30.000We still don't have a movie of the Juanita Broderick story.
00:42:32.000We still don't have a movie of the Paula Jones story.
00:42:35.000We still don't have a movie of the Kathleen Willey story, but we do have a movie
00:42:38.000about how Clarence Thomas was evil, evil, evil, evil, because he once made a joke about a Coke can, a full two-hour epic with Kerry Washington.
00:44:56.000So why aren't those states prospering when being run by conservatives?
00:45:00.000The answer is because a lot of red states are states that are agricultural in nature.
00:45:04.000Agricultural states are less wealthy than states that have big cities where information technology rules, where there's a lot of corporate investment.
00:45:11.000A lot of those areas have been historically impoverished.
00:45:14.000Because industry was not located in the South until really after World War II.
00:45:19.000That's when all the industries started to move down South.
00:45:22.000And they were governed by Democrats until the last five minutes.
00:45:25.000So if you look at the number of Republican governors in most of these states and Republican senators, the vast majority of Southern states only started electing Republican governors in the last 20 to 25 years.
00:45:34.000So you have to give Republicans a little bit of a chance to fix all the damage wrought by Democrats over the previous 130 years.
00:45:45.000When only 60% of the votes are accounted for.
00:45:49.000And the answer is because people project, usually when they call it they have to be pretty certain, they project based on the counties that have come in.
00:45:56.000So they look at the historic voting numbers and if the 60% of counties that came in are all big cities, for example, and the person who's right-wing won the big cities, they'll probably call it because the rural areas tend to be more right-wing than the cities.
00:46:07.000So that's how they calculate those sorts of things.
00:46:43.000Could you clear up on your radio show exactly what fascism is?
00:46:46.000Europeans and Jews understand what it is better than anyone.
00:46:49.000I don't think mainstream America today has really pinpointed exactly what fascism means.
00:46:53.000Okay, so there are a bunch of different types of fascism, but fascism essentially means that there is a group of people embodied by a great leader, the great leader gives orders, and then the government crams down on everybody else what this great leader wants.
00:47:08.000It's not democracy because the great leader is the one who's in charge, and attacks on him are considered attacks on the people.
00:47:14.000You may have seen this from earlier in the podcast.
00:47:16.000Fascism, the actual word fascism, comes from an Italian word called fascisti.
00:47:30.000People like to make fun of him as sort of the clown fascist.
00:47:33.000But Mussolini was actually a much more important historical figure than he's given credit for.
00:47:38.000And he was the guy who kind of led to the rise of fascism all across the world.
00:47:42.000The idea was government was ineffective, you need an effective leader to come in and get the trains to run on time.
00:47:47.000And this was always the line about fascism.
00:47:50.000So, when someone says to you, we need a great leader to overrule the legislature, overrule the will of the people, and just get things done.
00:47:56.000That is the essence of fascism, is that he takes the government gun and he points it at all the people with whom he disagrees, because we have to get things done.
00:48:04.000Okay, Tony writes with a conspiracy theory.
00:48:07.000He says, with you being directly involved with political giants and the biggest news outlets, do you have any conspiracy theories that you believe in?
00:48:15.000No, I don't believe in any of the major conspiracy theories.
00:48:17.000I think that there are times when people coordinate, for sure.
00:48:20.000But typically, in order for conspiracy theories to work, you have to assume everybody is smart, and most people are not.
00:48:26.000You have to assume that everybody is capable, most people are not.
00:48:29.000You know, like the JFK conspiracy theories assume some sort of genius conspiracy to plant it all on Lee Harvey Oswald, and the 9-11 conspiracy theories assume that tons of people throughout the government knew this was going to happen and then let it happen, or that they planted bombs themselves and nobody noticed.
00:48:48.000Occam's razor suggests that the the simplest suggestion is without further evidence, but in the absence of further evidence, the simplest suggestion is probably the most correct.
00:48:58.000I don't believe conspiracy theories because they're rarely simple.
00:49:02.000But the reason people like conspiracy theories is that it gives people a feeling of order in a disordered universe because it's uncomfortable to come to terms with the fact that life is chaotic and lots of stuff happens.
00:49:13.000So instead, you just say, well, it's a conspiracy.
00:50:11.000I think that once you price cap all of these things, how are you going to draw the best professors exactly?
00:50:16.000Any attempt at pricing and wage controls by the government is doomed to failure because eventually you end up screwing one subset of the population that you actually need in order for the market to go forward.
00:50:28.000By the way, if you want to major in an engineering major in college and you get in, you're not going to have trouble finding a private loan.
00:50:35.000You want to major in engineering at UCLA and then go and work at an engineering firm?
00:50:39.000I'll give you a loan myself if you pledge to give me a certain percentage interest that's high enough that I'm willing to deprive myself of the money.
00:50:48.000What is your position on capital punishment?
00:50:50.000I am pro-capital punishment in theory.
00:50:53.000The way that it's applied in the United States is ridiculous.
00:50:55.000It's uneven, not in terms of race, but just in terms of people waiting for 10 years in line, and it takes forever, and you're keeping them alive anyway.
00:51:04.000But capital punishment I'm very much in favor of.
00:51:06.000In the wake of the despicable terrorist attacks in Haifa and Tel Aviv, do you think a solution will ever arise in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians?
00:51:15.000And this is what Israel has begun to realize.
00:51:17.000There won't be a solution, there will just be security, and Israel will have to repeatedly go in and clean out terrorists until the end of time.
00:51:23.000There's no such thing as utopia, because people who are dedicated to your demise are dedicated to killing you.
00:51:27.000And finally from Evan, have you and your wife decided on a name yet for your future son?
00:52:59.000Whenever you say that something that is individually just is not just because it's not just for the society, what you're really saying is individual justice doesn't matter.
00:53:07.000Group justice is in direct opposition to individual justice.
00:53:12.000There are certain things that don't need a modifier.
00:53:16.000Justice does not need you to add social in front of it, because once you do that, you've already confined justice to something that it's not.
00:53:23.000Justice for groups is not justice for individuals.
00:53:25.000Justice for individuals may not be justice for groups, but the bottom line is individual justice is the only thing we can control, and we should all be held responsible for our own actions, not for the actions of broad groups that include us.
