The Ben Shapiro Show - Ep. 9 - Grading the Democrats

Debate grades are in. Hillary gets an A. Bernie gets a D. Jim Webb gets an F. And Martin O'Malley gets a C. And all of the other candidates get a D except for Lincoln Chafee, who got a C and Jim Webb who got an F in the first Democratic Debates of 2020, which was supposed to be a moment of triumph for Hillary Clinton. But it was actually a moment where she did exactly what she set out to do, and she did it in a way that hurt Bernie Sanders the most. And it was a good night for Hillary, and a bad night for Bernie, who was let off the hook the entire time. And that's a good thing, because in any competition between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, he's going to have to work to make up for the fact that he didn't have a chance to make an impact on the Democratic primary field on the first night of the 2020 primary debates. And Hillary did just that. She didn't even have to go on the stage to prove that she's the best, most honest, most decent, and most decent candidate in the entire race. She did it on Tuesday night, and that's not even close to good enough for her to get an A or a D or a C, which is pretty impressive for a Democratic presidential candidate. And she's a great liar, so there's no question that she deserves an A for the grade she got an A at least in that she did well enough to get the mark she got the nod. And a D at least of the three. . even though she's still got a D, at least and a C at the end of the night. And that s not bad, right? not bad at all, I guess. ...but it's not good at all. Not even good enough, but not good enough at all but good enough? ? right? Not really, right?? maybe not really, but better than none at all at all? . . . just not good, right ? . ...but not really good at anything at all ? or better than good at at all really? or or at all of them? ... anyway, right well, not even good at any of them, right, not really just good at it? , right? ?

00:00:00.000 Democrats are wild socialists. 0.99

00:00:01.000 Hillary is still the best old obnoxious white socialist available. 1.00

00:00:05.000 That is the short story of Tuesday night's terrible, unbelievably dull debate between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vermont socialist loon bag Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, former Delaware Governor Lincoln Chafee, who, he was there, right? 0.76

00:00:20.000 And former Virginia Senator Jim Webb, the reason that I give the scare quotes to the word debate is because the candidates didn't lay a glove on one another at all.

00:00:30.000 Republicans at their first debate beat the living crap out of each other, but they took a loyalty oath to the eventual Republican nominee.

00:00:36.000 Democrats were simply, they were happy to just arrive and then pledge their loyalty directly to Hillary Clinton, forget the primaries and all.

00:00:43.000 Hillary was supposed to go up against Bernie Sanders. 1.00

00:00:45.000 That was supposed to be the big moment.

00:00:47.000 Well, she didn't castrate Bernie Sanders. 1.00

00:00:49.000 He generously redistributed his testicles to her in a jar. 0.99

00:00:53.000 So without further ado, here are the debate grades for this endless affair. 0.99

00:00:58.000 Hillary Clinton.

00:00:59.000 Sad to say, she gets an A, and I try to be objective about these debate grades because I think that Hillary Clinton is about as close to the anti-Christ as any person currently living, with the exception of President Obama, but she does get an A, and the reason she gets an A is because she is a great liar, at least when she doesn't have anyone contradicting her.

00:01:16.000 She is practiced, she is polished, she's memorized, they've upgraded all of her programming, her face moves sometimes now, and that means that she gets away with it.

00:01:25.000 She lied over and over.

00:01:26.000 She lied about her record as Secretary of State.

00:01:29.000 She actually got away with calling Libya a beautiful example of smart power, which is just incredible. 0.89

00:01:35.000 She said that Russia was going great guns until Putin came back as president of the country, even though Putin was always running the country.

00:01:41.000 And she said that she'd be tough in Syria after having called Bashar Assad a reformer.

00:01:45.000 And then she started lying about what she did when she was senator. 0.99

00:01:48.000 She said that, yeah, she voted for the Iraq War and the Patriot Act and the Wall Street bailouts, but she opposed all of them as soon as she found out what they were for.

00:01:55.000 She just didn't know when she was voting for them.

00:01:58.000 She said that she wasn't running as a Clinton or as a woman.

00:02:02.000 But she was also not not running as a Clinton or as a woman.

00:02:05.000 She said that she wasn't Barack Obama's third term because she has a uterus.

00:02:09.000 She said she likes capitalism but really secretly she sort of hates capitalism and agrees with Bernie Sanders.

00:02:14.000 So it was a it was a great night for Hillary Clinton and nobody laid a glove on her the entire time.

00:02:19.000 Anderson Cooper didn't ask her any questions about her radicalism on abortion.

00:02:22.000 After she brushed off her email scandal and Bernie Sanders did his self-castration, no follow-ups, he had no follow-ups on Benghazi.

00:02:30.000 She actually said she would get to it, and then she never, of course, got to it.

00:02:33.000 She said, I'll get back to that, which is exactly what she said to the dead guys in Benghazi, coincidentally.

00:02:38.000 Anderson Cooper allowed her to lie, and he wasted 24 minutes in the process.

00:02:43.000 So it was a big night for Hillary Clinton. 0.59

00:02:45.000 Let's move forward to Bernie Sanders' grade.

00:02:48.000 So Bernie Sanders gets a D. And the reason Bernie Sanders gets a D is because his supporters, he's like a Donald Trump character, his supporters will always ensure, always ensure that he has a certain level of support.

00:02:59.000 And the online polls showed that the enthusiasm for Bernie Sanders was incredibly high.

00:03:02.000 He won all of the online polls from MSNBC to Drudge to Fox News.

00:03:06.000 But he hurt himself because he let her off the hook on her corruption.

00:03:10.000 He hurt himself because he allowed her to portray herself as honest and decent, even though she's not honest and decent.

00:03:17.000 That one point where Bernie Sanders turned to her and said that everybody was sick of hearing about her emails, Hillary could not have been happier.

00:03:24.000 Hillary could not have been happier.

00:03:26.000 And that's why, in the long run, what this debate really showed is that in any competition between Bernie Sanders, who is a septuagenarian,

00:03:34.000 Crazy guy who shouts at the sky about what he did during the during the strikes of 1912 with the with the international industrial unions run by the communists.

00:03:44.000 All of that, all of that played poorly next to Hillary Clinton's cool and composed line. 1.00

00:03:49.000 And then there are the other candidates.

00:03:50.000 Jim Webb,

00:03:51.000 He gets an F, not because he was bad, but because he didn't belong on the stage.

00:03:55.000 Jim Webb was the guy who said that, in the debate, his worst enemy was the guy who'd thrown a grenade at him and he killed that guy.

00:04:01.000 Now, that's a kind of badass answer, but remember, these are all Democrats, so that doesn't matter. 0.91

00:04:05.000 What's a better answer is saying Republicans are bad.

00:04:07.000 If you say Republicans are bad, that's a better answer, and that's what Hillary Clinton said. 0.66

00:04:13.000 Jim Webb defended the coal industry.

00:04:14.000 He sort of defended the NRA.

00:04:15.000 He opposed affirmative action.

00:04:17.000 He made the crucial mistake of saying that all lives matter as opposed to all the other old white people on the stage saying that only black lives matter. 0.91

00:04:24.000 He even bragged about killing that communist and that, of course, made Bernie Sanders really upset because those are the people he honeymooned with. 0.91

00:04:29.000 I mean, come on.

00:04:30.000 So Jim Webb gets an F because he would have won the Democratic Party nomination back in 1952, but now it's 2015 and only socialists get a shot.

00:04:40.000 And then Lincoln Chafee was there as well.

00:04:42.000 Lincoln Chafee again looked like he wandered in off of Skid Row.

00:04:45.000 He was so confused the entire night, no one knew why he was there.

00:04:48.000 Martin O'Malley.

00:04:49.000 There are some people saying Martin O'Malley did well last night. 0.98

00:04:51.000 Martin O'Malley is so shallow, and he is so ridiculous, and it is so clear. 0.98

00:04:56.000 When he speaks, it looks as though every thought that he has was written in crayon by a seven-year-old. 0.99

00:05:03.000 And he has no ability to upgrade that.

00:05:05.000 So, Hillary Clinton ends up winning by default.

00:05:08.000 America loses by default.

00:05:10.000 Hillary Clinton told no less than two dozen lies last night, and we'll go through some of those coming up.

00:05:15.000 But, overall, big win for Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:05:19.000 Oh, good lord.

00:05:20.000 This is gonna be a long year and a half.

00:05:22.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:05:23.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:05:33.000 All right, folks, so we survived.

00:05:36.000 It is the day after the big Democrat debate, and I watched it for you so you didn't have to.

00:05:40.000 And no, it was totally not worth the paycheck.

00:05:43.000 It was awful in every respect.

00:05:45.000 It was two hours of people lying and Hillary sitting there with her well-Botoxed face, and it was just, it was egregious.

00:05:52.000 And between Hillary Clinton cackling and Bernie Sanders screaming at the sky like the old

00:05:59.000 Socialist loon bag that he is.

00:06:00.000 I mean, he really is the guy who you never want to talk to at parties.

00:06:02.000 He's the guy you walk in and you see him and he's got the spittle and it kind of drips down his chin a little bit and he's got dandruff on his collar and then he charges over to you because he can't wait to talk to you and he jabs his finger in your chest and then he tells you about the shirt tail strike and you're like, oh god, can I please get out of here?

00:06:18.000 And you just want to wipe his mouth because he's got the crust.

00:06:22.000 That was Bernie Sanders last night in the Democrat debate and he won.

00:06:25.000 According to the online polls, it was really bad.

00:06:28.000 It started off on a bad foot, and I just have to spend one moment mocking Sheryl Crow, because Sheryl Crow sang the National Anthem. 0.71

00:06:35.000 And let's just say acapella is not Sheryl Crow's friend.

00:06:38.000 Here's what it sounded like when Sheryl Crow sang the National Anthem in front of a bunch of people who actually don't like the National Anthem.

00:06:44.000 Actually, believe it or not, there were media members who were sitting backstage—they have their own press room—and there were reports that they didn't stand up for the National Anthem, which is no

00:06:52.000 Great shock.

00:06:53.000 Most of these people were just surprised they didn't play the Internationale.

00:06:55.000 So here exactly is Sheryl Crow. 0.86

00:06:58.000 And I do have a theory as to why she sounds bad here. 1.00

00:07:03.000 How uncomfortable Bernie Sanders looks right here.

00:07:15.000 At the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

00:07:26.000 Okay, we can stop her there before she humiliates herself further. 1.00

00:07:30.000 This is what happens, folks, when you vow to spend your life using no more than one sheet of toilet paper to wipe your ass. 1.00

00:07:36.000 She has said this. 0.99

00:07:38.000 This is her actual environmental policy.

00:07:40.000 To save the universe, she's only going to use one sheet of toilet paper, which, as everyone knows, is insufficient, and eventually you end up singing like that on a national debate stage, if that's the policy that you pursue.

00:07:50.000 Okay, now we can actually jump into the content of the debate.

00:07:53.000 Whatever the content was.

00:07:55.000 The big blockbuster moment of the debate—there were really two, we'll get to the second one in just a moment—but all the blockbuster moments of the debate were between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, because no one cares about any of the other candidates.

00:08:07.000 Again, Lincoln Chafee just looked utterly bewildered as to the universe.

00:08:12.000 He was just kind of standing there wondering what was going on all around him.

00:08:16.000 He was like a newborn baby, just staring at the light and wondering what it was and how fascinating it was.

00:08:22.000 Martin O'Malley.

00:08:24.000 Martin O'Malley was similarly entranced by all of the bright lights and shiny objects. 0.92

00:08:28.000 He just kind of stood there looking stupid most of the evening, and then there were certain lines that he said, and he sort of expected there to be laughter that emerged from them, and they didn't.

00:08:38.000 Bernie Sanders called for an open revolution, because open revolutions go so well for socialists. 0.97

00:08:43.000 They usually end in millions of people killed, but Bernie Sanders wanted a revolution, and then they went to Martin O'Malley, and Martin O'Malley kind of grinned awkwardly and said he wanted a green energy revolution.

00:08:51.000 And he waited for everybody to cheer for him, and when no one did, his face just kind of dropped, and he got real sad.

00:08:57.000 And you could see what he really wanted to do was just yell out to the crowd, does anyone want to see my six-pack?

00:09:02.000 But he couldn't do it because he was on national TV.

00:09:05.000 Plus, somebody had specifically sewn his shirt to his pants to make sure he didn't do it, so. 0.67

00:09:10.000 But the real big moments of the debate were all between crazy old socialist Bernie Sanders and crazy old 0.92

00:09:15.000 Undercover socialist Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:09:17.000 Hillary is like a gay guy on the down low. 1.00

00:09:20.000 Everybody knows that she is that, but she can't really say it openly. 0.99

00:09:24.000 So Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton go at it over capitalism.

00:09:27.000 What's amazing about this exchange, we'll just preface it with this.

00:09:30.000 Bernie Sanders says he's a socialist.

00:09:31.000 Now we've been saying for years that Barack Obama is a socialist.

00:09:34.000 We're saying exactly what Bernie Sanders says.

00:09:36.000 Right?

00:09:36.000 But we're bad.

00:09:37.000 That makes us racist.

00:09:38.000 Bernie Sanders says he's a socialist, and he's an old Jewish socialist, and so he can say it. 1.00

00:09:42.000 His actual description of socialism, you'll notice, has nothing to do with government ownership of the means of production.

00:09:47.000 This is one of the myths that the left constantly throws out, which is that Marxism is solely and completely government ownership of the means of production.

00:09:53.000 If you're not calling for nationalization of all industry, then you're not really a socialist.

00:09:58.000 You're not a true communist or socialist.

00:10:00.000 Bernie Sanders gives a lie to that.

00:10:01.000 He says, I'm a socialist, and basically my vision of socialism is that there is private business, but we get to decide which businesses succeed and which fail.

00:10:09.000 We get to confiscate money from the people we want to confiscate money from, and we get to ensure that nobody earns too much money.

00:10:14.000 Then they go to Hillary Clinton, and she says, hey, that's my definition of capitalism!

00:10:18.000 And this was the debate.

00:10:20.000 Seriously, it was that Bernie Sanders' definition of socialism and Hillary Clinton's definition of capitalism were exactly the same.

00:10:26.000 Meaning one of these people is wrong.

00:10:28.000 And the truth is, the person who's wrong is Hillary, because she's lying.

00:10:32.000 Marx prefers government ownership of the means of production as an end goal, but until you get there, he's also fine with unionizing all the factories and ensuring that everybody gets their fair share, which, of course, is Hillary's proposal. 0.95

00:10:44.000 You'll hear these two crazy old socialists

00:10:47.000 speak with each other, and the reason that Hillary wins this particular part of the debate is because she doesn't give in to the truth. 1.00

00:10:52.000 Bernie Sanders actually just says the truth, and this is why the grassroots loves him.

00:10:55.000 Hillary continues to lie, and so the grassroots doesn't like her so much. 0.98

00:10:59.000 So here is Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton, combined age, 723,209, speaking about capitalism, and both of them were around both when Adam Smith wrote his tome as well as when Karl Marx wrote his.

00:11:12.000 Here we go.

00:11:15.000 You don't consider yourself a capitalist, though?

00:11:18.000 Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little, by which Wall Street's greed and recklessness wreck this economy?

00:11:32.000 No, I don't.

00:11:33.000 I believe in a society where all people do well, not just the handful of billionaires.

00:11:38.000 Just to be clear, is there anybody else on this stage who's not a capitalist?

00:11:43.000 Well, let me just follow up on that, Anderson, because when I think about capitalism, I think about all the small businesses that were started because we have the opportunity and the freedom in our country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families.

00:11:59.000 And I don't think we should confuse what we have to do every so often in America, which is save capitalism from itself.

00:12:07.000 And I think what

00:12:08.000 Senator Sanders is saying certainly makes sense in the terms of the inequality that we have, but we are not Denmark.

00:12:15.000 I love Denmark.

00:12:16.000 We are the United States of America and it's our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn't run amok and doesn't cause the kind of inequities that we're seeing in our economy.

00:12:27.000 There's actually appropriate background music when my phone goes off playing the Patton theme for Hillary Clinton playing as though she likes America.

00:12:34.000 Hillary Clinton saying that she loves capitalism and she loves small business and it's all great and you expect this big banner to unfurl behind her because suddenly she doesn't like communism and socialism anymore.

00:12:43.000 But notice they're saying exactly the same thing.

00:12:45.000 Exactly the same thing, right?

00:12:46.000 Bernie Sanders says, do I believe in casino capitalism?

00:12:49.000 Do I believe that capitalism that benefits the few at the expense of the many is the greatest thing in the world?

00:12:55.000 No, I do not.

00:12:57.000 Right?

00:12:57.000 And then Hillary says, well, capitalism has benefited a lot of people, but what we really need to do is make sure that it doesn't benefit the few at the expense of the many, and also that we reign in casino capitalism.

00:13:08.000 And you're sitting there going, wait, they just said exactly the same thing, but not in exactly the same way.

00:13:13.000 And this is the point. 0.90

00:13:14.000 The Democratic Party has moved so far to the left that Hillary and Bernie are saying precisely the same kind of crap, and we're all supposed to pretend that they're not, and that Hillary's an actual moderate.

00:13:24.000 Okay, so the second biggest moment of the debate was actually when Hillary was questioned about her emails. 0.82

00:13:29.000 Now, Hillary has no good answers on why she hid her emails, because there are no good answers.

00:13:34.000 She legitimately took her private server, she got it a couple of days before she was appointed Secretary of State, specifically set it up so that nobody could sift her emails from the government, so that we would never be able to look at her emails, and then she destroyed 30,000 of them before handing them over to the government of the United States. 0.96

00:13:49.000 She has no good answers on this.

00:13:51.000 And then they go to Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders

00:13:53.000 My good friend Jeremy Boring has a theory about Bernie Sanders, and I think it's probably right, so I'll explain the theory after you see this particular clip. 0.98

00:14:02.000 And after you see it, what you're really going to watch right now is Bernie Sanders forcibly remove his own testicles and hand them to Hillary Clinton in a jar. 0.89

00:14:11.000 That's basically what happens in this particular clip, because Bernie Sanders had the opportunity here to really hurt Hillary Clinton, and instead of doing that, he basically handed her the primaries. 0.98

00:14:21.000 Here we go.

00:14:27.000 Let me say something that may not be great politics, but I think the secretary is right. 1.00

00:14:36.000 And that is that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. 1.00

00:14:41.000 Thank you. 1.00

00:14:42.000 Me too.

00:14:45.000 Okay. 0.99

00:14:45.000 And then Hillary proceeded to cackle like a maniac. 0.99

00:14:47.000 I mean, it's so obvious how happy she is there. 0.81

00:14:50.000 I mean, that's the happiest that she's been since she learned that Bill was sleeping with other women.

00:14:54.000 She's really just overjoyed. 0.64

00:14:56.000 I mean, we get to that point and Hillary starts cackling like a maniac. 1.00

00:15:01.000 And then she turns to Sanders and shakes his hand and basically wants to get as physically close to him—physically closer to him than any man she's been with since Chelsea was born.

00:15:12.000 And what's amazing about that—so Jeremy's theory—and when I rewatch the clip, I'm not fully convinced.

00:15:17.000 Jeremy's theory is that Bernie Sanders meant that to be an attack on her.

00:15:22.000 That he meant to attack her the same way that Chris Christie sort of attacked Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina back during the second Republican debate.

00:15:28.000 You remember Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump were going at it about their various business records, and then Chris Christie jumped in, he cannonballed in, and he said, everybody understands that you have great business records, no one cares.

00:15:40.000 I know this was his big slap at them. 0.96

00:15:42.000 So Jeremy thinks that what Sanders was trying to do there is theories that what Sanders was actually trying to say there is no one wants to hear about your damn emails anymore and the implication being you're corrupt and this is a terrible distraction from all the issues and I can't believe that this has taken up so much time and effort. 0.97

00:15:58.000 So, when I watch that again, maybe that's what Bernie Sanders was told to do beforehand, but that's not the way it comes off. 0.96

00:16:03.000 It does come off the way that I think most people take it, which is, here he is, the gallant knight in shining, rusted armor, riding in on a cat and saving Hillary Clinton.

00:16:14.000 And that's pretty much what it was.

00:16:16.000 And you can see Hillary was just overjoyed about all of this, and the headline for Bernie Sanders started fundraising off of all of this.

00:16:21.000 He actually sent out an email to people saying,

00:16:23.000 You know, we're sick of hearing about the emails.

00:16:25.000 I said we're sick of hearing the emails.

00:16:26.000 It's time to talk about the real issues.

00:16:28.000 Give money to me.

00:16:29.000 So, Bernie Sanders, here's what he actually did there.

00:16:32.000 By taking that issue off the table, not only did he take the issue off the table for himself, he took it off for everybody else.

00:16:37.000 Martin O'Malley,

00:16:38.000 Who, again, looked just wildly confused as to what was going on at all times on the stage.

00:16:44.000 He honestly looked like he'd taken a hit of something before he did.

00:16:49.000 Anderson Cooper, at one point in the debate, suggested that everybody in the audience had smoked dope, and it did look like Martin O'Malley may have, directly before the debate, because they went back to O'Malley, and O'Malley has been very aggressive about Hillary's email scandals.

00:17:03.000 And O'Malley presumed—absolutely just went forward with the Bernie Sanders approach and said, no, I think this is all, you know, nonsense and a political hit job.

00:17:12.000 OK, the fix is in, folks.

00:17:13.000 And don't pay attention to the media that's saying that Bernie Sanders is a real threat to Hillary Clinton.

00:17:18.000 He is not.

00:17:18.000 Bernie Sanders is a setup.

00:17:20.000 Bernie Sanders is a stalking horse.

00:17:22.000 Bernie Sanders is what the media want you to believe is a challenge to Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders' presence in the race right now forecloses the possibility that somebody like Joe Biden jumps in.

00:17:30.000 This debate was so good for Hillary that it prevents Joe Biden from jumping in because all the enthusiasm for—all the panic is gone, right?

00:17:37.000 No one's panicking anymore.

00:17:38.000 If you're wildly left, you're not panicking because you like Bernie Sanders.

00:17:41.000 And if you're a moderate, you're not panicking because Hillary Clinton looks sane because she's Salieri in the insane asylum from Amadeus.

00:17:48.000 When you're the guy who's sitting there and you've tried to slit your own throat multiple times, but you're sitting there and you're playing piano, and just outside your room where you're playing the piano, people are smearing their own feces on themselves, you look pretty reasonable.

00:18:01.000 And that was Hillary Clinton in that debate. 1.00

00:18:03.000 Lincoln Chafee was over in the corner of the room knitting a sweater or something, and Jim Webb was still having NOM flashbacks, and Martin O'Malley was sort of walking around like Jar Jar Binks,

00:18:17.000 Hillary Clinton, however, is a vile partisan, and that is super clear. 1.00

00:18:26.000 I have nothing against being a partisan, because I'm obviously a partisan.

00:18:29.000 But I will say that what Hillary Clinton said during this debate is indicative of just how far left the Democratic Party has moved.

00:18:36.000 Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians, 1.00

00:19:02.000 Probably the Republicans.

00:19:03.000 You can see the enthusiasm that just washes over her as soon as she says the Republicans.

00:19:07.000 She's kind of staring off into space.

00:19:08.000 Right, it's the Iranians, it's the NRA, it's the pharmaceutical companies. 0.67

00:19:11.000 What other things on Bernie Sanders' checklist can I hit here?

00:19:14.000 And by the way, when she says the Iranians are her enemy, the Ayatollahs have never laughed as hard. 0.95

00:19:20.000 I mean, the Iranians beg for Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:19:23.000 They love Barack Obama, and they love Hillary.

00:19:25.000 Hillary's the one who initiated the Iran nuclear deal. 0.67

00:19:27.000 The Iranians are her enemies. 1.00

00:19:29.000 You've got to be kidding me.

00:19:31.000 Notice also, for the Democrats, if you asked any of the Republicans who are your greatest enemies, seriously, if you asked any of the Republicans who are your greatest enemies, aside from Scott Walker, who might say teachers unions, really, because they actually tried to take him out of office, virtually all of the Republicans would say ISIS.

00:19:45.000 The Iranians, Vladimir Putin, the Chinese, right? 0.99

00:19:48.000 They were named some sort of foreign policy threat.

00:19:50.000 Hillary Clinton proceeds to name a domestic political group, the NRA, which is a fully legal group that has millions of members.

00:19:57.000 And then she proceeds to list actual companies in the United States, right, that are engaging in legal business.

00:20:02.000 This is a lady who said just a few moments ago, you watch me play it.

00:20:06.000 That business and small business in the United States are wonderful things that have created prosperity.

00:20:10.000 Who are her big enemies?

00:20:11.000 The pharmaceutical companies.

00:20:12.000 Right?

00:20:12.000 The companies that produce the drugs that save people's lives.

00:20:15.000 Those people are her enemies.

00:20:17.000 Right?

00:20:17.000 And then finally, she gets to her big enemies and the enthusiasm washes over her.

00:20:21.000 The Republicans, right?

00:20:22.000 The Republicans are her big enemies, of course.

00:20:25.000 And we all knew this, because Hillary Clinton despises conservatives and Republicans more than she does ISIS, or the Iranians, or anybody else who's truly evil on planet Earth. 1.00

00:20:35.000 She sees them as the real threat to her and to her vision of the world, to her utopian quest for a more just and equal world.

00:20:44.000 And the Republicans don't see it the same way.

00:20:46.000 The Republicans see their enemies as actual foreign policy threats, typically.

00:20:50.000 That's why Hillary has an advantage. 1.00

00:20:52.000 Because Hillary is going to spend this entire campaign season explaining Republicans are a bunch of racist, bigot, sexist homophobes who hate their mothers, and Republicans are going to explain that Democrats just disagree on the issues, but we all agree that ISIS is bad. 1.00

00:21:05.000 And you tell me who's going to win that election. 0.99

00:21:06.000 We've run this tape multiple times at this point.

00:21:09.000 We've run 2008 and 2012.

00:21:10.000 We don't need to do it again.

00:21:12.000 And Hillary Clinton is setting Democrats up to do exactly that. 0.99

00:21:17.000 It was a solid debate for Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:21:21.000 It was clear also that Hillary Clinton, by the way, wants to seize the mantle of Barack Obama. 1.00

00:21:27.000 She was asked at one point, what would make her not the third term?

00:21:32.000 What would make her not the third term for Barack Obama?

00:21:35.000 And here was her answer as to what would make her not the third term of Barack Obama.

00:21:41.000 How would you not be a third term of President Obama?

00:21:43.000 Well, I think that's pretty obvious.

00:21:47.000 I think being the first woman president would be quite a change from the presidents we've had publicly at this point, including President Obama.

00:21:57.000 To really put a capper on that, she really should have just done a strip tease at the end. 1.00

00:22:02.000 Because if that's all she's got, 0.88

00:22:05.000 I'm a woman, hear me roar.

00:22:06.000 If that's all she's got.

00:22:08.000 But that is all she has, because then she continued.

00:22:10.000 And she said,

00:22:19.000 Which is the dictionary definition of third term for Barack Obama.

00:22:23.000 I mean, if you were to say, what is Obama going to do in his third term, it would be more of this, except more, right?

00:22:28.000 Hillary Clinton says exactly that.

00:22:30.000 Hillary name-checked Obama about a dozen times last night because she's trying to lock up the minority vote and to keep it away from Joe Biden. 1.00

00:22:36.000 Very good debate for Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:22:38.000 Very bad debate for America.

00:22:39.000 She told lie after lie after lie.

00:22:41.000 We didn't even get to her lies here.

00:22:42.000 I mean, she told something like 27 lies, 27 separate lies, ranging from where she said that she didn't really back the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the TPP, the trade deal, that she negotiated and called the gold standard.

00:22:54.000 She said, well, no, I said I hoped it would be the gold standard.

00:22:56.000 No, Hillary, you said it was the gold standard.

00:22:58.000 To when she said that it was smart power in Libya.

00:23:03.000 And she said that they'd elected a moderate government in Libya, neglecting, of course, to mention that the government is now meeting in boats off the coast of Libya, because it's a government in exile.

00:23:11.000 She told lie after lie, my favorite line of the night, actually.

00:23:14.000 We don't have it on tape, but Hillary Clinton, at one point, this was the most important line of the night for her. 0.89

00:23:19.000 She was talking about how Republicans, they always say that they're against big government, but they love big government.

00:23:23.000 See, they want to shut down Planned Parenthood. 1.00

00:23:25.000 And then she proceeded, which of course is idiotic. 0.99

00:23:27.000 They wanted to fund Planned Parenthood, that small government by nature. 0.99

00:23:30.000 She then continued by saying, when it came to paid maternity leave, paid family and parental leave, she said, of course we can pay for it. 0.90

00:23:38.000 We can do anything.

00:23:40.000 We'll make the wealthy pay for it. 0.97

00:23:42.000 This is the democratic platform in a nutshell.

00:23:45.000 We'll make the rich people pay for it. 0.99

00:23:47.000 But listen to how media treat it.

00:23:48.000 Donald Trump says, we're going to build a wall between the United States and Mexico and we will make the Mexican government pay for it by leveraging them, using our trade deals and using sanctions.

00:23:58.000 Well, we'll use all the methods at our disposal to make them pay to build that wall. 0.99

00:24:02.000 And the media goes, no, this is crazy!

00:24:03.000 This is totally out of bounds!

00:24:04.000 How could he possibly say such a thing?

00:24:06.000 Hillary Clinton said on national television, the leading candidate for President of the United States, she said, we are going to build Utopia, and rich people are going to pay for it.

00:24:15.000 And everybody just went, woo!

00:24:17.000 Awesome.

00:24:19.000 Let me explain something.

00:24:20.000 If we removed 100% of all earnings above $1 million for everyone in the United States this year, that would be a grand total of $616 billion.

00:24:29.000 Wouldn't pay for anything.

00:24:31.000 There's just not enough money to go around for Hillary Clinton's grand utopian visions. 1.00

00:24:36.000 And killing the rich, the execution of the aristocracy, exempting of course herself and all the other rich white people on stage with her, including Anderson Cooper, that is not going to solve the problem. 1.00

00:24:46.000 The Democratic Party has gone full-scale socialist.

00:24:49.000 The only difference between Hillary and Bernie Sanders is that Hillary doesn't wave her arms around in the air, and she doesn't have wild hair, and she has a steely demeanor, and her programming has been upgraded.

00:24:59.000 But the reality is that Hillary, Bernie Sanders, two sides of the exact same coin.

00:25:03.000 Bill Clinton—if Bill Clinton were running today with the same platform he ran with in 1992, he would not even make it into the debates.

00:25:11.000 That's how far left the Democratic Party has moved.

00:25:13.000 And that's not the fault of the Democratic Party.

00:25:15.000 That's the fault of all of their supporters, all of the people out there who want their free stuff.

00:25:21.000 Because that's what the debate was last night.

00:25:22.000 It was Bernie Sanders saying, I want free college education.

00:25:26.000 And then it was Hillary Clinton saying, and I want free abortions. 1.00

00:25:28.000 And then it was Bernie Sanders saying, well, you know, I want free green energy for everyone.

00:25:33.000 And then it was Hillary Clinton saying, well, I want free automobiles. 0.99

00:25:36.000 And then Bernie Sanders said, free everything for everybody!

00:25:39.000 And then Hillary finally blurted, free everything infinity!

00:25:42.000 And the crowd went wild.

00:25:44.000 That is the Democratic debate.

00:25:46.000 That is our political debate.

00:25:47.000 And unbelievably enough,

00:25:49.000 These are the favorites to enter the White House once again.

00:25:53.000 If that isn't depressing enough for you, watch the second Democratic debate.

00:25:56.000 It's coming up soon.

00:25:57.000 I really don't want to.

00:25:57.000 I will.

00:25:58.000 But we'll see you then.
