Tech stocks have dropped dramatically and wiped out all of the gains of the previous year as investors dumped shares of everything from retailers to oil and gas companies in favor of safer assets like bonds and dividend payers like utilities and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. What started as a tech company selloff spread to other corners of the market, and the Wall Street Journal reports that as of this morning, about 16% of the S&P 500 companies are now below their October lows.

00:01:56.000stocks tumbled Tuesday, putting major U.S.
00:01:58.000index indices At risk of closing below their October lows, according to the Wall Street Journal, and wiping out yearly gains.
00:02:04.000What started as a technology company sell-off bled into other corners of the market as investors dumped shares of everything from retailers to oil and gas companies in favor of relatively safe assets like bonds and reliable dividend payers like utility companies.
00:02:18.000Some traders who stepped into scoop-up shares in late October hoping for a quick rebound are now in danger of losing those potential profits and more.
00:02:24.000This puts the stock market in a tenuous position, several of those people say.
00:02:28.000Justin Wiggs, who's Managing Director in Equity Trading at Stifle Nicholas, says the buy-the-dippers are getting concerned, meaning that When the stock market goes down, you tend to buy more.
00:02:54.000America's soybean exports, which largely went to China, have now dropped by nearly 100% thanks to the tariff battle that President Trump is having with the Chinese.
00:03:02.000Whether you think that's well-founded or not, it's not particularly great for the United States economy.
00:03:06.000It's also happening because Democrats just took over Congress.
00:03:09.000And a lot of businesses see regulations on the way, or at least regulatory fights.
00:03:12.000The friendly business climate that has been created by the Trump administration and a Republican Congress could be stymied by a bunch of Democrats who actually want to investigate and regulate businesses up the wazoo.
00:03:23.000Tech stocks, by the way, have dropped.
00:03:25.000One of the reasons tech stocks have dropped, and nobody really wants to talk about this in the left-wing media, Is because a lot of the left-wing media is focused like laser beams on shutting down tech companies for not doing enough to let Hillary Clinton win the election.
00:04:20.000It's like Facebook has stopped trying because the top two traffic stories came courtesy of my Facebook page.
00:04:26.000And the question is, stop trying to what?
00:04:29.000Shut down and censor conservative pages?
00:04:31.000Prevent conservative dissemination of information?
00:04:34.000Ever since Hillary Clinton lost, the left has been in an uproar about how to shut down Facebook, about how to make it a wholly owned and used subsidiary controlled by the faculties of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media.
00:04:48.000And this has been true since Dianne Feinstein was calling top members of social media companies before her and saying, if you don't get control of your companies, we're going to regulate you.
00:04:57.000You think maybe this might scare investors in tech companies?
00:05:01.000You might see that there have been a bunch of issues hitting tech companies.
00:05:05.000Obviously, people believe that their private information is being disseminated by these tech companies or grabbed and used by these tech companies.
00:05:12.000The real change is that since election 2016, a lot of members of the left wing have suggested that companies like Facebook should be controlled by people who are more into shutting down the conservative distribution platforms for information.
00:05:26.000In other words, they will only leave Facebook unregulated if Facebook pledges to do their bidding.
00:05:32.000Dianne Feinstein will only leave Facebook alone if Facebook pledges to shut down conservative websites if they pledge to destroy conservative traffic base.
00:05:40.000Now, the reality is that Facebook does not discriminate in favor of conservatives, of course, and there are those of us on the right who have said that Facebook should not be regulated even when they were destroying conservative traffic in early 2017 with an algorithm shift, as we talked about at the time.
00:05:54.000But the left cannot stand that Hillary Clinton lost, and so now they're going to try to control every business that allows them to control the means of information consumption.
00:06:06.000That may be having an effect on the stock market.
00:06:08.000People fear Democrats in control of the levers of government when it comes to the economy, because they know that Democrats in control of the levers of the economy are going to try to control business from the top down, whether you're talking pharmaceutical companies, whether you're talking drug companies, whether you're talking The banking industry, whether you are talking about tech companies, all of these companies are deeply fearful of democratic governance.
00:06:29.000You know the reason that the economy started to recover under Barack Obama?
00:06:32.000It started to recover under Barack Obama because all these companies knew that there was a Republican Congress in charge.
00:06:38.000It means something when Democrats grab control of the levers of power.
00:06:45.000And the fact that they are overtly, people like Nate Silver are overtly calling basically for censorship of conservative outlets on Facebook is just more evidence that the media are fully invested in the idea that they have to twist the media of social media.
00:07:00.000They have to twist those distribution systems in order so that they can control those from above.
00:07:08.000Now, one of the reasons they want to control those methods of distribution from above is that they can control the politics of the country, obviously.
00:07:15.000And that means that they can push information that is not supremely important.
00:07:20.000So, speaking of information that is not supremely, supremely important today, and then we'll contrast this with a piece of very important information today.
00:07:27.000The Huffington Post is very upset because Ivanka Trump used a personal account to send hundreds of emails last year related to government business, according to sources who spoke with the Washington Post.
00:07:40.000You shouldn't be using your personal email for government business.
00:07:43.000But this, of course, led people like Nate Silver, who wants Facebook to shut down distribution systems for conservatives.
00:07:48.000Nate Silver tweeted this out about Ivanka Trump.
00:07:50.000He says, If you're one of those news organizations that treated Clinton's private emails like they were a national emergency, the solution isn't to treat Ivanka's private emails like they're also a national emergency.
00:07:59.000Rather, it's to acknowledge that you kind of screwed up on Clinton.
00:08:17.000It is true that Virtually every public official that I know of uses a private email address to do business from time to time.
00:08:23.000The question is whether they are deliberately hiding that from government discovery and whether they set up a private server, which is what Hillary Clinton did.
00:08:30.000She didn't set up an email address at Gmail, which would have made her email subject to discovery.
00:08:34.000She set up a private server in her house to allow all information to pass directly to her, and then it could be contained in that private server, which she could then bleach, and then drill, and then hammer.
00:08:47.000Also, we don't know if Ivanka Trump was actually looking at classified information in these emails, or whether it was unclassified government business.
00:08:55.000Hillary Clinton, we know for a fact, was passing classified information via a private email on a private server that was open to hack by foreign governments.
00:09:03.000This is not the same kind of story at all.
00:09:05.000And yet the media are treating it as though this is just the hypocrisy of the Republicans.
00:09:08.000It's just the hypocrisy of the Republ- Again, should Ivanka Trump be using a private email address for her business?
00:09:14.000But until we know what those emails were and whether they were classified, until we have any evidence that she set up a private server and then poured bleach all over it, she's bleach bit, And then drilled it?
00:09:26.000Unless we know that, this is not the same thing in any way.
00:09:30.000Nonetheless, people on the left are going crazy over this.
00:09:33.000It just shows that Ivanka is super duper duper corrupt.
00:09:36.000And this is what they want you to be paying attention to.
00:09:38.000They want you to be paying attention to Ivanka Trump's emails that are not in any way, so far as we know, like Hillary Clinton's emails.
00:09:47.000This is what they want you to pay attention to.
00:09:48.000What they don't want you to pay attention to is a judicial ruling that violates virtually every basic precept of government in the Constitution.
00:09:57.000So here is the latest federal judicial ruling.
00:10:00.000The New York Times reports, Miriam Jordan reporting, First of all, I do love that now the media are finally acknowledging there's a huge wave of Central Americans crossing the border.
00:10:10.000Five minutes ago, they were suggesting that it wasn't a threat at all.
00:10:12.000a temporary setback to the president's attempt to clamp down on a huge wave of Central Americans crossing the border.
00:10:17.000First of all, I do love that now the media are finally acknowledging there's a huge wave of Central Americans crossing the border.
00:10:23.000Five minutes ago, they were suggesting that it wasn't a threat at all.
00:10:25.000There is nobody crossing the border illegally.
00:10:27.000Judge John Tiger of the United States District Court in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the government from carrying out a new rule that denies protections to people who enter the country illegally.
00:10:39.000The order, which suspends the rule until the case is decided by the court, applies nationally.
00:10:43.000First of all, it should not be the case that a district court anywhere in the country can shut down the federal government full-scale across the country.
00:10:53.000District Court judges across the United States.
00:10:55.000The idea that any one of them can issue a temporary restraining order against the federal government, applied nationally, is just insane.
00:11:03.000The judge wrote, whatever the scope of the president's authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden.
00:11:12.000Where did Congress expressly forbid him from saying that if you enter the country illegally, we are not going to process your asylum claims the same way that we would process your asylum claims if you enter the country legally?
00:11:23.000I'm not aware of the law that says that.
00:11:25.000I'll talk about this more in just one second.
00:11:27.000This is a big story because, again, this is the court stepping into areas where they have no business.
00:13:05.000Okay, so this judge says that the administration is unable, under the law, to prevent illegal immigrants, people who are jumping the border, from applying for asylum.
00:13:16.000So, this of course undercuts the entire legal regime in the United States.
00:13:20.000And the entire idea here is to direct people toward legal means of applying for asylum.
00:13:24.000And one legal mean for applying for asylum is to walk up to the border to a border patrol station and simply ask for asylum.
00:13:30.000It is not legal, however, to jump the fence and then claim asylum.
00:13:33.000That is not legal in the United States.
00:13:35.000The judge's ruling went according to what the ACLU wanted.
00:13:38.000Advocacy groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far left advocacy group in the American Civil Liberties Union, swiftly sued the administration for effectively introducing what they deemed an asylum ban.
00:13:48.000But that is not, in fact, an asylum ban.
00:13:52.000The Trump administration signaled they would continue to defend the policy as it moved through the courts.
00:13:56.000Katie Waldman is the spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
00:13:59.000She said, And they point out the president has brought authority to stop the entrance of migrants into the country, which is true if you look at the actual black letter law.
00:14:11.000They say it is absurd that a set of advocacy groups can be found to have standing to sue to stop the entire federal government from acting so that illegal aliens can receive a government benefit to which they are not entitled.
00:14:21.000We look forward to continuing to defend the executive branch's legitimate and well-reasoned exercise of its authority to address the crisis at our southern border.
00:14:30.000Stephen Yale Lauer is an immigration scholar at Cornell.
00:14:33.000He says presidents indeed have broad discretion on immigration matters, but the bottom line is that the courts have now introduced conditions that don't actually exist in the law.
00:14:43.000The government's lawyers say the president has sought to halt a dangerous and illegal practice and regain control of the borders because Trump administration officials defended the regulatory change.
00:14:51.000They argued the president was responding to a surge ...in migrants seeking asylum based on frivolous claims, which ultimately led their cases to be denied by an immigration judge.
00:14:59.000The migrants then ignore orders to leave and remain unlawfully in the country.
00:15:03.000If Trump can't actually just ignore this court ruling and enforce the law, then he is not doing his job as president.
00:15:08.000The courts obviously are wildly overreaching their discretion under the law.
00:16:00.000But invariably, somebody brings up politics and then we have a discussion that usually ends with us saying, let's stop it and go watch football.
00:16:08.000Because that's pretty much the only way that you can end awkward discussions.
00:16:11.000Well now, the New York Times has put out a piece called, How to Have a Conversation with Your Angry Uncle Over Thanksgiving.
00:16:20.000It's astonishing for what it shows about the bias of the New York Times.
00:16:25.000So they basically put together a couple of model conversations in this piece at the New York Times.
00:16:30.000Model conversation number one is you arguing with your conservative uncle.
00:16:35.000Model conversation number two is you arguing with your leftist uncle.
00:16:39.000Okay, so what's amazing is the approach that the New York Times gives to the leftist uncle versus the approach that it gives to the conservative uncle.
00:16:46.000So the conservative uncle is a full-on moron.
00:16:49.000The leftist uncle is, in fact, a well-stated, well-reasoned, blue-state liberal.
00:16:56.000So I went through this last night because I was curious to see what the New York Times recommended in terms of how you should argue with your uncle at Thanksgiving.
00:17:02.000And it just shows you where the New York Times stands on this sort of stuff.
00:17:05.000This piece is written by Karen Tamirius, who's a former psychiatrist and the founder of Smart Politics.
00:17:30.000And then it gives you a series of answers that you can possibly give, including Trump's been good for the rich, or because you're on the left, right?
00:17:38.000This is you being on the left, saying Trump's been good for the rich, but not for everybody else.
00:17:42.000Or you saying, you know, how has the economy been for you?
00:17:45.000Now, here's the part where it gets really funny.
00:17:47.000If you say, so it recommends, the recommendation, if you are a liberal arguing with your conservative uncle who says Trump's been good for the economy, is that you're supposed to say, so how are you doing financially?
00:17:57.000Now listen to how the New York Times rigs this conversation.
00:18:00.000Your conservative uncle is supposed to answer, how am I doing?
00:18:04.000Not that great actually, but things would have been worse under Hillary.
00:18:09.000Okay, first of all, the Trump economy has been very good across the board.
00:18:13.000We've seen average wage gains for the first time in years under President Trump.
00:18:17.000So the New York Times is rigging the conversation, so your conservative uncle is a moron who has been doing poorly under the Trump economy, but is going to argue that Hillary would have been worse.
00:18:39.000Look how the New York Times is rigging your conservative uncle, right?
00:18:42.000Your conservative uncle loves Trump, but is struggling to get ahead, is living paycheck to paycheck, and is struggling in the best economy in modern history.
00:18:51.000That's how they're rigging the conversation.
00:18:52.000So of course, if you're a liberal, you're going to win that conversation.
00:19:00.000And then you're supposed to say, so you feel pretty insecure money-wise, despite how hard you're working.
00:19:04.000And then your conservative uncle is supposed to say, yeah, I do feel insecure money-wise, and I don't know how long I can keep up.
00:19:10.000So the New York Times has rigged it so that if you're a liberal discussing with your conservative uncle, then it's very easy because your conservative uncle's a moron who has never made a dollar in his life and is suffering under the Trump economy, despite the fact that the economy is booming.
00:19:22.000Now, flip the script, and this is how the New York Times recommends that you argue with your conservative uncle.
00:19:27.000Or how you argue with your liberal uncle.
00:19:30.000Here's how the New York Times recommends you argue with your liberal uncle.
00:19:33.000So your liberal uncle says, we need Medicare for all.
00:19:46.000No human being should go without health care just because they can't afford it.
00:19:50.000And then you're supposed to say, well, how do you think we should fix this issue?
00:19:52.000And your liberal uncle, being a brilliant, a brilliant, well-reasoned professor, is supposed to say, how to fix it?
00:19:59.000Many people can't even afford medications or primary care.
00:20:02.000If we expand Medicare to include everyone, those people can get the help that they need.
00:20:06.000And then you're supposed to say, so you think the government has a responsibility to make sure every person has basic healthcare, is that right?
00:20:11.000And then your uncle says, a right to basic healthcare?
00:21:02.000And boom, it gets caught in your throat, and you're sitting there, and as your life passes before your eyes, you think, shouldn't I have gotten life insurance?
00:22:01.000Instead, go to PolicyGenius.com First of all, when I say Oscar bait, you should immediately run for the nearest doors, because it means that it's going to suck.
00:22:09.000Meanwhile, Hollywood is getting ready to launch a brand new film.
00:22:12.000It was on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter.
00:22:16.000First of all, when I say Oscar bait, you should immediately run for the nearest doors because it means that it's going to suck.
00:22:22.000Whenever Hollywood makes a movie that is so-called Oscar bait, It is basically just going to be a left-wing, claptrap version of a mediocre story, like The Shape of Water, which was just awful.
00:22:35.000But there's a new movie that is coming out, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and this new movie is called Vice.
00:22:56.000This, in fact, is just the latest attempt to go after the Bush administration.
00:22:59.000But there's something telling about this.
00:23:02.000So, again, this is not the first attempt to get the Bush administration.
00:23:06.000There was a movie called W with Josh Brolin, which failed dramatically at the box office, had like a $24 million budget without publicity and advertising, without P&A.
00:23:16.000There's another box office bomb called Truth with Robert Redford about Dan Rather's attempt to take down George W. Bush with a fake letter about military service.
00:23:24.000There was a movie called You're Welcome America, which is a Broadway play starring Will Ferrell, where Will Ferrell basically played George W. Bush as stupid Jeb Bush.
00:23:33.000None of these films actually did any business.
00:23:35.000But that is not stopping Adam McKay, who's the creator of HBO's Succession, and he also did the big short, from taking on W and Vice President Cheney.
00:23:46.000Bush left office 10 years ago, last I checked my calendar.
00:23:49.000Why are we still doing movies about George W. Bush when the only movies anyone has ever made about Barack Obama are about how he kissed his then-girlfriend Michelle Obama and it tasted like chocolate?
00:23:58.000Which was an actual An actual movie on Netflix?
00:24:06.000He says that he went to a victory party for John Kerry in 2004, and everyone you could imagine was there.
00:24:11.000Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Will Ferrell.
00:24:14.000Once again, we're like, oh, they're going to lose.
00:24:15.000There's no way you'd re-elect these guys after the disaster we just had.
00:24:19.000I remember Frank Rich was on the phone, and he's like, it's over.
00:24:21.000And within two minutes, the entire party had cleared out.
00:24:24.000This movie is going to cost $60 million.
00:24:28.000It's a $60 million budget for a movie about Vice President Cheney, in which Christian Bale puts on 45 pounds and plays Cheney as a Machiavellian devil who wants to send American troops into harm's way to maybe enrich Halliburton or something.
00:24:59.000So I would take the hyenas, the random wild animals running through the White House over Cheney any day of the week.
00:25:06.000Now, the reason that I point all of this out is because it just demonstrates that all of the lies that the left tells about why they don't like President Trump, they are just that.
00:25:22.000In fact, as McKay says, he hates George W. Bush more than he hates Trump.
00:25:26.000Not because George W. Bush was less classy than Trump or something, but because George W. Bush was more ideologically conservative than Trump.
00:25:37.000The Hollywood left despises conservatives.
00:25:39.000Not because they are classless, and not because they say things on Twitter that offend, and not because they say weird things in public at press conferences.
00:25:49.000No, the left hates Donald Trump for the same reason that they hate George W. Bush.
00:25:54.000And, in fact, many of them hate George W. Bush more than they hated Trump because they think that Bush was more right-wing, which, by the way, in terms of governance, is not even true.
00:26:01.000Trump has governed significantly more conservative than President Bush ever did.
00:26:05.000But this demonstrates that so much of leftist thought is based on just scorn, smearing, scathing scorn against people who are conservative in policy.
00:26:14.000It has nothing to do with the personality of the Commander-in-Chief.
00:26:17.000So when you hear people on the left say, you know, Donald Trump has really robbed the Oval Office, really robbed the Oval Office of its dignity, Understand, this is not why they dislike President Trump.
00:26:25.000They dislike President Trump because President Trump does not agree with them on politics.
00:26:29.000It's the same reason that they hate President Bush.
00:26:31.000They hated President Bush because Bush did not agree with them on politics.
00:26:35.000Now, what this has led the right to do is nominate and elevate somebody like President Trump.
00:26:54.000And that's very appealing to a lot of folks on the right, because if you treat us with with scorn, Then we've been waiting for somebody to punch you guys back.
00:27:51.000But there's a bunch of people in the middle of the country who don't really like Adam McKay's take on conservatives and they don't like the slap back from the right.
00:27:58.000And what they actually are looking for is somebody who can punch back from time to time when appropriate.
00:28:04.000But somebody who does bring class to the Oval Office.
00:28:07.000If President Trump can find that, if he can find that happy censor, then he will win re-election.
00:28:11.000If he cannot, then there's a good shot that he won't.
00:28:13.000But it is important to remember what exactly drove the movement behind President Trump.
00:28:18.000What drove the movement behind President Trump was two things.
00:28:21.000The intersectional ideal pushed by the left that said that there's a new coalition of the dispossessed that was growing demographically and was going to put its boot on the throat of conservatives in the middle of the country.
00:28:30.000And then conservatives in the middle of the country said, you know what?
00:28:41.000You're going to call us bitter clingers who cling to God and guns and xenophobia?
00:28:45.000We're going to nominate this guy over here who smacks you guys as hard as possible in the face, who grabs you like a member of the Three Stooges by the nose and then pokes you in the eyes with his index and middle fingers.
00:28:55.000That's the guy who we're going to pick.
00:28:58.000In cultural terms, it's actually working.
00:29:01.000The White House Correspondents' Dinner actually had to revise its entire way of doing business.
00:29:05.000Okay, the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which is supposed to be nerd prom, this is where all the journalists get together with the Hollywood folks, and they go and laugh at Republicans in the name of journalism.
00:29:14.000Well now, they have decided they're not going to host a comedian anymore who just goes there and rips into President Trump and Republicans.
00:29:19.000Instead, they're going to bring in Ron Chernow, who's a biographer of various presidents, and instead of being nerd prom with comedians and Comedy Central figures, it's going to be an actual historical lecture by Ron Chernow, and it'll be about journalism.
00:29:34.000So President Trump somehow fixed the White House Correspondents Association dinner.
00:29:37.000Because he said he wasn't going to go.
00:29:39.000He said he wasn't gonna go, and so he ended up fixing the dinner.
00:29:42.000This, of course, made Hollywood crazy.
00:29:44.000Michelle Wolf, who made a name for herself last year at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, earned herself a Netflix series that was cancelled in about 35 seconds because she's garbage at her job.
00:29:53.000She actually tweeted out, the White House Correspondents Association are cowards.
00:29:57.000The media is complicit, and I couldn't be prouder.
00:30:06.000The media destroyed themselves, and President Trump allowed them to do it.
00:30:09.000These cultural battles are one of the reasons the right loves President Trump.
00:30:13.000There's great benefit to that, there really is.
00:30:15.000There's also a certain amount of risk to it that we on the right would do well to acknowledge, because again, I don't think that it's a case of we have to pick one or the other.
00:30:23.000We can fight the culture war, At the same time that we act classy.
00:31:01.000Nestled all in one place, they're the perfect gift, especially for dudes who constantly adjust.
00:31:05.000Tommy John underwear sports a no wedgie guarantee, would have been super helpful for me in high school.
00:31:08.000Comfortable stay-put waistbands, a range of fabrics that are luxuriously soft, feather-light, moisture-wicking, breathable, designed to move with you, not against you.
00:31:17.000So if you're still on the fence wondering if Tommy John would be a memorable gift, think about the fact that you're not going to have to watch your friends and family tugging anymore.
00:31:24.000And with limited edition holiday gifts, there's something for everyone on your list.
00:32:11.000Pacific, all of your questions will be answered by Daily Wire's own Michael Knowles.
00:32:14.000Why he works here, why you think he has answers, I don't know.
00:32:18.000But if you're one of those people who wants your question answered by Michael Knowles, you're one of those seven people who are members of Knowles' immediate family, then you're going to actually need to pay us.
00:32:26.000Alicia Krauss will also be there to host the show and keep Knowles in line, which, as we all know, is a difficult job.
00:32:30.000Dude just has a weird habit of taking off his clothes in the middle of the office, and it really is quite terrifying.
00:32:35.000This month's episode will stream live on Daily Wire's YouTube and Facebook pages.
00:33:12.000We have the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast in the nation.
00:33:15.000So before we get to the craziest story of the day, we're talking here about the fact that Republicans can be sucked in, I think, by Hollywood's hatred for Republicans into fighting this culture war.
00:33:32.000And the culture war is really important.
00:33:34.000I wrote an entire book Co-prime time propaganda about how folks on the left use the cultural means of distribution in order to try and harm conservatives.
00:33:43.000How they see conservatives as lesser human beings.
00:33:45.000And this latest example of this movie that they are spending 60 million dollars on just to make fun of Dick Cheney.
00:33:51.000Like, this is a perfect example of that.
00:33:53.000And this is why people on the right really love President Trump, because he doesn't take crap from people.
00:33:57.000Because when people malign him, when people malign conservatives, he is willing to stand up and say no.
00:34:06.000But it is also important to recognize that you have to appeal to the middle of the country and you can't just rely on Democrats making mistakes.
00:34:13.000Right now, there's a narrative that's going around on the right that the Democrats are sort of falling apart.
00:34:17.000And this is being pushed by some folks on the left who want to see an internecine warfare among Democrats.
00:34:24.000So, for example, they're pushing this idea that 16 Democrats have released a letter pledging not to support House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House.
00:34:32.000The letter indicates Pelosi has a bit of a math problem, but she's going to be able to overcome the opposition.
00:34:36.000For signature, for starters, there were supposed to be 17 signatures.
00:34:40.000Representative Marsha Fudge of Ohio, who's deeply radical, was toying with the speaker on herself, but she was removed from the letter.
00:34:46.000And this is the important point, is that folks on the right are waiting for a Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton brawl, free-for-all in the Congress.
00:34:54.000They are thinking that Democrats are going to schism the way that they did in 2016.
00:34:58.000I have my doubts that that's actually going to happen.
00:35:01.000I think that that's that's probably an over read of the situation.
00:35:03.000I think that the Democratic Party and Pelosi particularly are clever enough that they can act as though there is a schism without there actually being a schism.
00:35:11.000The best evidence that this is the actual case is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:35:16.000So a lot of folks on the left have been suggesting that people on the right are paying outsized attention to Ocasio-Cortez.
00:35:22.000It's a point of great irritation to me.
00:35:24.000If you elevate somebody to a leading position in your party, and then we point out that this person doesn't know things about politics, that is not our fault.
00:35:32.000That's your fault for elevating that person to a lead position.
00:35:34.000I don't remember the left taking the same position about, for example, Sarah Palin, when they mocked the living daylights out of Sarah Palin for stuff she didn't even say.
00:35:42.000I don't remember them saying, well, you know, kind of mean of us to mock this Sarah.
00:35:50.000That said, Ocasio-Cortez is proving that the left wing of the Democratic Party is willing to work with the mainstream wing of the Democratic Party.
00:35:59.000They're willing to move the party overall to the left, and they're willing to pledge fealty to the current leadership in order to do this.
00:36:04.000Ocasio-Cortez, for example, has now backed Nancy Pelosi.
00:36:08.000I do think that we got sent to Congress on a mandate to change how government works, to change what government even looks like.
00:36:20.000But if we are not on the same page about changing the systems and the values and how we're going to adapt as a party for the future, then what is the point of just changing our party leadership just for the sake of it?
00:36:34.000Okay, and this is smart politicking by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:36:38.000So before the right thinks that the left is going to fragment, I don't think the left is going to fragment in 2020 the same way that they did in 2016.
00:36:45.000If Bernie Sanders runs, he's not going to be running hard against the establishment candidate.
00:36:49.000There is no establishment-appointed candidate.
00:38:03.000Right now, there is a battle inside the far-left, hardcore base of the Democratic Party as to whether anti-Semitism is okay.
00:38:10.000Yeah, this is broken out into the open with regard to the Women's March.
00:38:14.000So, according to James Barrett over at Daily Wire, the leadership of the Women's March has come under fire from some of the group's once most vocal supporters, including the woman who founded the group and actresses Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing.
00:38:25.000The embattled leaders have since responded to criticism with an intersectionally loaded statement blasting its critics.
00:38:30.000Earlier this year, feminist Tali Goldsheft launched a Change.org petition calling on the leadership of the Women's March, Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, and Carmen Perez to resign, citing their affiliation with and refusal to condemn notorious racist bigot and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.
00:38:44.000The petition reads, many feminists refused to join the Women's March because they did not feel comfortable with the current leadership.
00:38:50.000Now, Women's March participants also no longer feel represented by this organization due to the behavior of its current leadership.
00:38:57.000And so they say they refuse to march behind those particular leaders.
00:39:01.000Both Milano and Messing disavowed the Women's March due to its current leadership.
00:39:07.000On Monday, the Women's March founder, a woman named Teresa Shook, added her voice to the growing chorus of feminists calling on all of these leaders to step down for allowing bigotry, racism, anti-LGBT sentiment, and anti-Semitism to become Now, why do I think that the Women's March will survive all of this?
00:39:20.000co-chair to step down and let others lead who can restore faith in the movement and its original intent.
00:39:25.000The leaders instead fired back and they said that they will not step down.
00:39:30.000They said that we don't know everything.
00:39:32.000At times we have responded with hurt, but we are committed to learning and we are building an intersectional movement our daughters and our daughters' daughters can be proud of.
00:39:38.000Now, why do I think that the Women's March will survive all of this?
00:39:41.000Because I think instead what you're going to see is the mainstreaming of anti-Semitism.
00:39:44.000I think what you're going to see is the left growing more radical in every conceivable way, including the mainstreaming of antisemitism, The latest indicator of that mainstreaming is not just their embrace of two congresswomen who have overtly called for a boycott against the state of Israel, but the mainstreaming of that sentiment among corporate entities that reside on the political left.
00:40:04.000Airbnb, the home rental company that is often used by tourists to rent apartments in locations around the globe, for example, announced yesterday that it would not allow Jewish settlements to be listed in Judea and Samaria.
00:40:15.000In other words, they say that if you are a Jew, and you live in Efrat, in Israel, They will not allow you to rent out your apartment on Airbnb.
00:40:25.000This is a sheer form of corporate anti-Semitism.
00:40:28.000But it's okay with the left, because anti-Semitism is okay with the left, so long as the anti-Semitism is coming from people who are more dispossessed than the Jews.
00:40:35.000This is how it works in intersectional world.
00:40:38.000Not only did Airbnb specifically target Israeli settlements, they only targeted Jews.
00:40:43.000Okay, so they weren't saying that they won't rent an apartment in a frat.
00:40:45.000They said they won't rent any Jewish-owned apartment in a frat.
00:40:47.000So if you're an Arab, or if you're a Christian, and you're a Muslim, Then they will allow you, as long as you're not a Jew, they will rent your apartment in Afrat, but if you're a Jew, then they will not allow you to rent out your apartment in Afrat on Airbnb.
00:41:07.000They rent apartments in some of the most dictatorial places all around the world, but they will not allow a Jew to rent out his apartment in East Jerusalem where he is living legally.
00:41:16.000This is corporate antisemitism, and it's totally okay with the far left, because again, the far left is unifying the Democratic Party.
00:41:23.000What we are seeing is a radicalization of the Democratic Party, because it is easier to move with the radicals than to cast out the radicals.
00:41:30.000The Democratic Party is becoming more and more dangerous because they are indeed a cohesive force.
00:41:34.000These battles do not carry any real weight between people who are against anti-Semitism and for anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party.
00:41:41.000The radicals are going to win out and they're going to shift the mainstream over to them.
00:41:44.000Whenever you hear folks on the left talk about how the right is radical, recognize that the right in this country has not shifted its political position since 2010.
00:41:51.000All movement on the political spectrum All, every bit of it has come from the American left, which is moving further and further to the left and is cohesive in that move specifically now because they exist in opposition to President Trump.
00:42:05.000Now sometimes this radicalization has some pretty funny side effects.
00:42:47.000We've been doing some William Goldman stuff this week because he passed away last week.
00:42:51.000He wrote probably the best memoir on Hollywood ever written, called Adventures in the Screen Trade, a personal view of Hollywood and screenwriting.
00:43:18.000So if you're if you're looking for a fun read during the Thanksgiving weekend, go check out Adventures in the Screen Trade by William Goldman.
00:43:26.000So Dan Crenshaw is a congressperson from Texas and Dan Crenshaw is just spectacular.
00:43:33.000He was on one of the Sunday shows and it was on Face the Nation on CBS.
00:43:38.000And one of the Democrats suggested that President Trump was undermining all of the key American institutions.
00:43:43.000And Dan Crenshaw, who is a Navy SEAL who lost his eye fighting in Afghanistan, Dan Crenshaw has some of the best response I've ever seen on national television.
00:45:29.000But ESPN has lost ratings for one reason, because you cannot turn on ESPN without getting social justice warrior discussions about just how heroic Caitlyn Jenner is, or how heroic Fallon Fox is, a man fighting women in UFC.
00:45:43.000If ESPN is ousting all the political actors on ESPN, good.
00:46:16.000Because no one cares about women's soccer outside of the Women's World Cup every four years when we all pretend to care about women's soccer.
00:46:24.000We care about women's tennis because women's tennis is really good.
00:46:26.000No one cares about women's basketball.
00:46:28.000And no one cares about LGBT issues in the locker room in female lacrosse.
00:46:33.000It turns out what we actually want is to watch games where people hit each other and hold balls and then throw them to each other.
00:46:43.000I used to get up at six in the morning so I could watch the highlights on SportsCenter.
00:46:46.000I have not watched SportsCenter for seven years because of their political bent.
00:46:50.000I am not the only one who feels this way.
00:46:53.000So if ESPN decides to move back towards sports, that would definitely be an upgrade over the garbage that they've been programming for the last several years.
00:46:59.000Okay, time for a couple of things that I hate.
00:47:05.000So here in California, obviously we've been having some massive, horrendous wildfires, probably hundreds dead in the Northern California wildfires.
00:47:12.000Shelby Grad is the assistant managing editor of the LA Times.
00:47:15.000And Shelby Grad tweeted out that Jerry Brown, the governor here, who is one million years old, and actually remembers the Pleistocene era, he actually, Shelby tweets out, Jerry Brown told the truth about California fires that no one wants to hear.
00:47:37.000So, if you're on the right, and people on the left say, income inequality, you say, right, income inequality has existed in every society at every time.
00:47:43.000The only thing we should be worried about is whether the impoverished in the United States are able to grow economically.
00:47:48.000Then they say, ah, you're ignoring, you're ignoring hope.
00:48:07.000He says, you know, we've had fires for long before the Europeans showed up here and our indigenous people had a different way of living with nature.
00:48:13.000For 10,000 years, there were never more than 300,000 people living in California.
00:48:17.000Now we have 40 million and we have a totally different situation.
00:48:19.000He remembers, because 10,000 years ago, Jerry Brown was there.
00:48:22.000He actually observed how many people were there.
00:48:44.000Back in August, he basically acknowledged as much.
00:48:47.000The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported back in August before the wildfires that Brown was proposing one of the most significant changes to the state's logging rules in nearly half a century, according to Emily Zanotti over at Daily Wire.
00:48:57.000Governor Jerry Brown is proposing broad new changes to California's logging rules that would allow landowners to cut larger trees and build temporary roads without obtaining a permit as a way to thin more forests across the state.
00:49:08.000Under Brown's proposal, private landowners would be able to cut trees up to 36 inches in diameter, so long as their purpose was to thin forest or reduce fire risk.
00:49:17.000So he understood, like a couple of months ago, that one of the reasons these big fires were happening is because of crappy fire policy.
00:49:24.000It's not just people on the right saying this, by the way.
00:49:40.000Because Mother Jones, the communist magazine, they wrote a piece back in December called A Century of Fire Suppression is Why California is in Flames.
00:49:49.000This piece points out that because they have not actually participated in fire suppression, meaning like controlled fires, controlled burns, that get rid of a lot of the undergrowth, when fires do happen, there are basically giant conflagrations.
00:50:03.000According to experts like Sasha Berleman, who's a fire ecologist, the biggest problem here is 100 years of fire suppression that has led to a huge accumulation of fuel loads, just dead and downed debris from trees and plant materials in our forests and our woodlands.
00:50:19.000As a result of that, our forests and woodlands are not healthy, and we're getting more catastrophic fire behavior than we would otherwise.
00:50:25.000So even Jerry Brown recognizes this, but I love that the media are basically covering for him and saying, you know what?
00:50:30.000It's not that Jerry Brown is bad at his job.
00:50:32.000It's that there are too many people living in California.
00:50:33.000He said the same thing about the... I love this.
00:50:35.000He did say the same thing with regard to the drought in the state of California.
00:50:39.000So it turns out we've had several tens of millions of people in California for as long as I have been alive.
00:50:45.000I've also had drought problems in California for as long as I've been alive.
00:50:49.000We could have built all new infrastructure.
00:50:50.000We could have worked on desalination plants.
00:50:52.000We could have worked on ensuring that we weren't pumping millions of gallons of fresh water out into the San Francisco Bay in order to protect the Delta smelt.
00:51:00.000There's lots of stuff we could have done.
00:51:02.000Instead, Jerry Brown just said there are too many people living in the state of California.
