00:01:21.000So yesterday, I was sitting around wondering, what exactly is the October surprise for the Democrats, for the media, going to be?
00:01:27.000I mean, we're one week out from an election, and they ain't got much.
00:01:30.000We'll get to their attacks on Tony Hinchcliffe and supposed jokes about Puerto Ricans that are too terrible for anyone to even be near, and all of this sort of stuff.
00:01:40.000But is that really all they got in their bag?
00:01:41.000And then, yesterday afternoon, I received a text.
00:01:45.000I received a text from a reporter at the New York Times.
00:01:51.000I'm Nico Grant, a reporter at the New York Times.
00:01:53.000I wanted to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube.
00:02:01.000We rely on an analysis conducted by researchers at Media Matters for America.
00:02:06.000Could you kindly provide us with a comment or decline to comment by the end of day tomorrow, Tuesday, October 29th?
00:02:11.000Here are the points we plan to include.
00:02:13.000Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or are not supported with credible evidence.
00:02:22.000Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation.
00:02:28.000We feature a clip of you saying, quote, your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting.
00:02:58.000Here's what the New York Times was planning, pretty obviously and clearly.
00:03:02.000Working with Media Matters for America, which is a far-left radical organization that was started by David Brock in an overt attempt to destroy all conservative media.
00:03:12.000That is why Media Matters was launched.
00:03:13.000It was launched in order to AstroTurf boycotts on conservative media and anyone who had advertised with conservative media.
00:03:20.000Media Matters became incredibly famous by essentially launching secondary boycotts on people like Rush Limbaugh.
00:03:30.000The New York Times is overtly Clearly admitting to using Media Matters research in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize people on the right.
00:03:40.000To destroy them, because when you are demonetized, that also limits your reach.
00:03:43.000To destroy their dissemination of information one week prior to an election.
00:05:00.000It's where you watch a non-political video and then you're pushed to a political video and you watch it for five minutes before you tune out to the next DIY trick on how to fix up your home or something.
00:05:09.000Shutting off the spigot on news information one week in advance of an election, that is the New York Times trick.
00:05:16.000And obviously it's not about election misinformation.
00:05:18.000It's not about shutting down quote-unquote bad information, as everybody knows.
00:05:28.000If you listen to the show, you know that I've been perfectly consistent since November of 2020 that I believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
00:05:37.000I thought that Donald Trump had every right to legally challenge that election, but I did not see the actual evidence that the allegations he was making about the election itself and fraud in the election was sufficient to overcome the state certification of the ballot.
00:05:52.000So of all the people to come to about election misinformation, coming to me is just proof.
00:06:08.000You have the New York Times, which is supposed to be the tip of the spear in terms of freedom of the press and free speech, which is overtly, clearly attempting to pressure the The biggest video platform on planet Earth to shut off other press outlets.
00:06:26.000They say it's a challenge to the press if Donald Trump calls them fake news.
00:06:30.000Imagine if we here at The Daily Wire called for The New York Times to be completely demonetized and shut down on social media because of misinformation.
00:06:39.000Would that not be a challenge to free speech principles?
00:06:54.000Quote, your party rigged many of the voting rules in advance of the election in order to ensure an extraordinary number of mail-in ballots.
00:07:00.000Well, I mean, if they're mad about that, they might want to talk to the New York Times.
00:07:04.000Here is 538, writing just a couple of years ago.
00:07:07.000Quote, one of the most striking aspects of the 2020 election was the unprecedented use of mail-in voting.
00:07:12.000Nearly half of all voters cast a ballot by mail in 2020.
00:07:15.000A record share, according to the latest survey of the performance of American elections.
00:07:19.000A post-election poll of tens of thousands of registered voters run by MIT. Much of this was driven by COVID-19.
00:07:25.000States changed voting rules and requirements to make it easier to vote by mail.
00:07:29.000And voters hoping to avoid crowded polling places in the middle of a pandemic took advantage.
00:07:33.000Wait, that sounds like rigging the voting rules in order to, you know, increase mail-in balloting.
00:07:38.000Maybe they ought to fact check the New York Times.
00:07:41.000The New York Times ought to fact check the New York Times for election misinformation.
00:07:44.000Maybe they ought to fact check CBS News about ballot harvesting.
00:07:46.000Quote, Fearson argues that the threat to Postal Service funding and the warning of mail delays makes ballot assistance even more important.
00:08:00.000But critics argue it opens the door to abuse and interference.
00:08:03.000The Nevada law does not limit how many ballots a person can collect.
00:08:06.000The Trump re-election campaign filed a lawsuit against the measure in Nevada and in other states.
00:08:10.000Wait, that sounds like rigging the rules so as to increase ballot harvesting.
00:08:15.000Maybe they should fact check for election information.
00:08:20.000By the way, even if you disagree with me, even if you think that the election was rigged and Trump won, that's still protected by the First Amendment.
00:08:30.000In 2020, the late-breaking media interference came in the form of shutting down the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:08:37.000The New York Post had the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the social media bros were pressured into taking down that story by both the press and by members of the federal intelligence agencies.
00:08:52.000They prevented dissemination of the story on places like Facebook and on Twitter, because this is before Elon owned Twitter, obviously.
00:08:59.000Well, now they're doing something even more overt.
00:09:02.000They are overtly attempting to just shut down all conservative dissemination of information on the biggest video platform in existence one week in advance of an election.
00:09:11.000If that's not an attempt to rig an election, I don't know what is.
00:09:15.000I mean, if you rig the entire informational environment around an election, that obviously has a rather large impact on the election.
00:09:21.000We're told by these people that the Russians manipulated America into voting for Donald Trump in 2016.
00:09:26.000But here they are, the same people, openly saying that they want YouTube to demonetize and thus throttle all conservative content on YouTube one week in advance of an election.
00:09:41.000I mean, we know what the New York Times is doing.
00:09:44.000Literally this week, the Sunday opinion section had an entire page in bold, probably 30-point font, saying, quote, Donald Trump says he will prosecute his enemies, order mass deportations, use soldiers against citizens, abandon allies, play politics with disasters.
00:10:04.000And that agenda is to get Kamala Harris elected at any cost, including the cost of the First Amendment.
00:10:09.000I wonder why there's a trust problem in media.
00:10:11.000I wonder why there's such a trust problem in media.
00:10:14.000Speaking of trust problems in media, CNN, another major left-wing outlet that tries to pretend that it's objective, there's an amazing exchange on CNN yesterday.
00:10:24.000So Mehdi Hassan, who has long been a Qatari-funded anti-Israel, anti-Semitic operative, Mehdi Hassan, he was on CNN after losing his job over at MSNBC. And he got into an argument with Ryan Gurdusky, who is one of the only conservative commentators on the network.
00:10:47.000Hassan proceeds to call Gurdusky and every Republican a Nazi.
00:10:51.000And Gurdusky responds in kind by making a joke about Mehdi Hassan being a member of Hezbollah.
00:11:29.000Ryan Gerdesky responds with a little quip about him being a member of Hezbollah.
00:11:33.000Well, maybe the reason that mistake might be made is because Mehdi Hasan has overtly supported every single opponent of the state of Israel in the history of the state of Israel.
00:11:43.000He pretends that he's anti-groups like Hamas, but then spends all day, every day, talking about the predations of Israel and why what Israel's doing in the Gaza Strip is a genocide and all this kind of stuff.
00:12:25.000In the past four years, while the buying power of the US dollar has declined faster than CNN's ratings, the price of gold has skyrocketed 40%.
00:14:07.000It's the reaction of CNN that's telling here.
00:14:09.000So CNN immediately issues a statement and says that Gurdusky is now banned from CNN. Not Hasan, not Mehdi Hasan, who calls every Republican a Nazi.
00:14:19.000If you were at MSG, if you were at Madison Square Garden with Donald Trump, you're a Nazi, understand?
00:14:24.000That means we can say whatever we want about you.
00:14:27.000But if you respond in kind by making a joke about your beeper going off, if you happen to be, you know, fairly warm toward every group that wants to destroy Israel, then CNN will ban you.
00:14:38.000Quote, there is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air, unless you're calling Trump supporters Nazis, of course.
00:14:44.000We aim to foster thoughtful conversations and debate, including between people who profoundly disagree with each other in order to explore important issues and promote mutual understanding.
00:14:52.000But we will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed.
00:14:56.000Ryan Gerdusky will not be welcome back at our network.
00:14:59.000Well, I mean, clearly you will allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed.
00:15:03.000You dedicated your network to having Mehdi Hassan, a man who has been caught on tape suggesting that homosexuals ought to be stoned and that non-Muslims are like cattle.
00:15:13.000You have that person on the air calling Americans Nazis, including Ryan Gerdusky.
00:15:21.000And here's Abby Phillip just bedecking herself in sackcloth and ashes and groveling before the woke left-wing mission because no one must ever offend the cherished intersectionality of people like Mehdi Hassan.
00:16:17.000And we really hope that he'll join us again soon.
00:16:20.000But for those of you who are wondering why he did not come back, I just want to be super clear that that was not in any way because we didn't want him back.
00:16:31.000And I won't speak for him, but I just wanted to make sure that you all knew that that was not what happened there.
00:16:40.000The radical anti-Semitic propagandists, that guy needs to be back.
00:16:43.000The one who calls half Americans Nazis, he needs to be back on CNN. The person who made a joke about that guy, that guy, never again, never again.
00:16:51.000And this is the game in the quote-unquote objective media.
00:16:58.000And they're left-wing agitprop that do not really, truly allow serious dissenting points of view.
00:17:04.000And if you make a move toward allowing a dissenting point of view or opening a space for a conversation, a real conversation, the world comes down on your head at these places.
00:17:13.000Jeff Bezos is finding that out the hard way as the owner of The Washington Post.
00:17:17.000So you'll recall that earlier last week, The Washington Post announced they would not, in fact, put forth an endorsement of Kamala Harris.
00:17:25.000Everyone knows that the staff of The Washington Post editorial board loves Kamala Harris, carries around a drool cup for Kamala Harris, spends their evenings exploring Kamala Harris's colon with their heads.
00:18:10.000He understands the vast trust gap that has been established because of places like the New York Times seeking to shut down dissent or CNN. Which suggests, again, Mehdi Hassan can call half of America Nazis, but if Ryan Gruduski makes a joke about beepers, bam, get out of here, Ryan.
00:18:26.000Here is Jeff Bezos, quote, In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress.
00:18:35.000But in this year's Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress.
00:18:38.000Our profession is now the least trusted of all.
00:18:41.000Something we are doing is clearly not working.
00:19:48.000By itself, declining to endorse presidential candidates is not enough to move us very far up the trust scale, but it's a meaningful step in the right direction.
00:19:55.000I wish we had made the change earlier than we did in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it.
00:19:59.000That was inadequate planning and not some intentional strategy.
00:20:02.000Okay, now, he has been accused of basically bending over backwards because he is afraid that Donald Trump is going to come into office and then regulate Blue Origin.
00:20:22.000When it comes to the appearance of conflict, I'm not an ideal owner of The Post.
00:20:25.000Every day somewhere, some Amazon executive or Blue Origin executive or someone from other philanthropies and companies I own or invest in is meeting with government officials.
00:20:32.000I once wrote that The Post is a complexifier for me.
00:20:34.000It is, but it turns out I'm also a complexifier for the Post.
00:20:37.000This is lack of credibility isn't unique to the Post.
00:20:40.000Our brethren newspapers have the same issue, and it's not a problem only for media, but for the nation.
00:20:45.000Many people are turning to off-the-cuff podcasts, inaccurate social media posts, and other unverified news sources, which can quickly spread misinformation and deepen divisions.
00:20:52.000The Washington Post and New York Times win prizes, but increasingly we talk only to a certain elite.
00:20:57.000Now, again, the part that Bezos is not getting to here is that it is not just a It is also a matter of the reporting.
00:21:04.000And I present to you as Exhibit A, the fact that the New York Times sent one of its top reporters to me with propaganda from media matters in hand in an attempt to cudgel YouTube into shutting down shows like this one.
00:21:17.000So it ain't just about the perception of bias.
00:21:19.000The perception of bias is not just about the editorial board.
00:21:37.000Two more members of the editorial board at the Washington Post have now resigned after the paper announced it was not endorsing a candidate for president.
00:21:45.000Molly Roberts is one of those members of the editorial board.
00:21:48.000She said, let's say that an editorial board has had for decades a long practice of not endorsing candidates for president.
00:21:52.000This would be an election to reverse that position and take a stand.
00:21:55.000And the Washington Post editorial board has been forced to do the opposite, dishonors our values and robs us of our purpose.
00:22:01.000To be very clear, the decision not to endorse this election was not the editorial boards.
00:22:05.000It was, you can read the reporting Jeff Bezos is.
00:22:07.000By registering my dissent, I don't intend to impugn the conduct of my colleagues, all of whom were put in nearly impossible positions.
00:22:14.000And then she goes on to talk about how terrible it is and how Donald Trump is not yet a dictator, but he is becoming closer to a dictator.
00:22:23.000And of course, the Washington Post has apparently lost a couple hundred thousand subscribers, which is about 8% of the subscriber base of the entire newspaper.
00:24:00.000Again, they're doing great work on the ground in the Holy Land.
00:24:02.000The amount of suffering there is truly an amazing and terrible thing, and you can help alleviate that suffering by helping the folks at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:24:10.000Remember, benforthefellowship.org to give.
00:24:13.000Also, you may have noticed, it's election season, and the future is on everybody's mind.
00:24:17.000But you know what should be on your mind?

00:25:29.000So, if that's the way the media environment is, if these are all left-wing outlets masquerading as objective news outlets, now you understand why the New York Times is doing what it's doing.
00:25:38.000Why MSNBC will attempt to pressure, again, YouTube, places like it, into cutting off podcasts like mine or like Joe Rogan's or anybody else's.
00:25:47.000The goal is to shut off the competition.
00:25:50.000Because if you can't beat the competition, you have to destroy the competition.
00:26:08.000If all these places thought that Kamala Harris was winning handily, none of this would be happening.
00:26:12.000I mean, sure, there would still be soft pushes.
00:26:14.000You'd still have the New York Times unleashing, back in the old days, Kevin Roos to tweet about how Facebook was being too nice to the Daily Wire.
00:26:21.000But if they thought that Kamala Harris was winning, they'd be a lot more sanguine about things.
00:27:20.000So her idea is that if Donald Trump wants to end illegal immigration and deport many illegal immigrants, that's so he can marry a white person to another white person.
00:28:26.000And then he told a bad joke about black people.
00:28:28.000And then he told a bad joke about Jews, which is literally what he does for a living.
00:28:31.000Now, you can argue with the logic of the Trump Vance campaign, having Tony Hinchcliffe on stage to do this.
00:28:37.000I, for example, don't think that it is a particularly wise idea to have roast comedians on stage in the final week of an election as you are attempting to broaden your appeal.
00:28:47.000A roast comedian who is so widely accepted that he has made significantly worse jokes than this on Comedy Central now being ripped up and down for making the exact same kind of jokes at a Trump Vance rally.
00:29:59.000Donald Trump said he was gonna build a wall and George Lopez said you better build it in one day because if you leave that material out there overnight So, Mexican Steel Things is a perfectly appropriate joke at a Harris Walls rally, but Tony Hinchcliffe says something mean about Puerto Ricans, and it's the end of the world.
00:30:22.000Now, again, I don't have to like the joke, but can we acknowledge that Tony Hinchcliffe is a comedian?
00:30:26.000By the way, full credit to Jon Stewart for actually acknowledging the obvious.
00:30:30.000I mean, a sentence I've never said before, full credit to Jon Stewart.
00:30:33.000Here he was, actually defending Tony Hinchcliffe.
00:30:37.000Now, obviously, in retrospect, having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before Election Day and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically.
00:30:49.000But to be fair, the guy's really just doing what he does.
00:30:54.000I mean, here he is at the Tom Brady roast a few months ago.
00:30:57.000The great Jeff Ross, ladies and gentlemen.
00:31:00.000Jeff is so Jewish, he only watches football for the coin toss.
00:31:05.000Gronk, you look like the Nazi that kept burning himself on the ovens.
00:31:10.000Kevin is so small that when his ancestors picked cotton, they called it deadlifting.
00:31:33.000Okay, so, again, everyone who does comedy knows what comedy looks like.
00:31:37.000And again, whether you have him at a rally or not, that's your decision.
00:31:40.000But, pretending that this is like some deliberate slur by the Trump campaign against Puerto Ricans or Jews or black people, you gotta be kidding.
00:31:48.000But, again, it plays right into the narrative that the Democratic left is attempting at this point.
00:32:33.000So it's weird for me to hear that not only am I a Nazi, Donald Trump is a Nazi, we were both at the Rebbe's OL three weeks ago in New York on October 7th meeting a hostage family.
00:32:46.000So I'm going to go big no on that one.
00:34:25.000And he puts that in question every time he opens it.
00:34:31.000I want to hear more about character from this man, from Joe R. Biden.
00:34:35.000I want to hear about character from the guy who sends his drug-addled son across the globe to pick up sacks of cash on behalf of the family.
00:34:43.000Yes, tell me more, Joe, about character.
00:34:46.000Maybe we can hear more about character from Kamala Harris, who got her start beneath Willie Brown.
00:34:51.000Really, I want to hear more about character.
00:34:54.000By the way, again, you open the door to character conversations, your fault.
00:34:57.000The way that it works in court, typically you're not allowed to bring evidence of character if you are trying somebody.
00:35:02.000But if the defense brings character evidence, then the prosecution is then allowed to respond with character evidence about the alleged perpetrator.
00:35:22.000So Nicole Wallace over at MSNBC... She is like, if Donald Trump is elected, if he is elected, he's going to come to your house in a scream mask and murder your family.
00:35:52.000She told us to go high when they go low.
00:35:55.000In 2020, she effectively appealed to our better angels.
00:35:59.000And just a few months ago, she told the pro-democracy Americans among us to, quote, do something.
00:36:05.000Now, with just over one week until Election Day, former First Lady Michelle Obama isn't messing around anymore.
00:36:12.000Because with women's reproductive health care and freedoms hanging in the balance next Tuesday, the stakes literally are life and death for every woman in America.
00:37:25.000And the biggest takeaway for me from that conversation...
00:37:30.000Is that if you're on the left, if you're a Kamala Harris supporter, the thing you cannot talk about, that you must not talk about under any circumstances, is actual policy.
00:37:37.000You cannot talk about what Donald Trump did as president of the United States.
00:37:41.000And you can't talk about what she did as vice president of the United States.
00:37:44.000Because if you talk about policy, they lose.
00:37:47.000And so it has to be a conversation about how there is a dispositive barrier to entry for voting Trump because of January 6th or whatever.
00:37:55.000Or about how Kamala Harris has made lots of promises, ignore what she did in the past.
00:37:59.000Or about ignore Donald Trump's first term because now there are no guardrails and because all of his old first term staff is gone, which is not true, many of them are going to come back.
00:38:09.000And here is Jennifer Rubin just saying the quiet part out loud.
00:38:11.000Stop talking about his policies, says Jennifer Rubin.
00:38:13.000Remember, this is the in-house conservative commentator over at the Washington Post.
00:38:19.000What we have here is not an ordinary election, but a test of democracy.
00:38:24.000We do not have two ordinary candidates.
00:38:27.000We have one candidate who has rejected democracy, rejected pluralism, rejected the rule of law, and to continue to cover him as if there were no difference between the candidate aside from policies does, I think, a great disservice to the American electorate.

00:41:09.000Meanwhile, the one thing that you should not talk about if you're a Democrat is, you know, the Democratic candidates for president and vice president.
00:41:15.000Because if you talk about them, it turns out people don't like them because they suck.
00:41:34.000According to the Daily Mail, Jenna Wang, the daughter of Bin Hui, who had been an important Communist Party official and served as chairman of a labor union, told the Daily Mail the two of them carried out a secret relationship where they were not allowed to touch or kiss in public.
00:41:47.000Wang added that although she wanted to marry him and start a family, How dare he?
00:42:06.000She explained to the Daily Mail that Walls had lied about Tiananmen Square and other things, noting a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs.
00:42:15.000Frankly, I'm just shocked he's straight.
00:42:16.000Wang said, quote, So we now know why he was going back and forth to China so much.
00:42:27.000It was to sleep with a Communist Party official's daughter.
00:42:30.000And eventually, their daughter would meet a man named Eric Swalwell.
00:48:05.000That seems like the baseline question, right?
00:48:08.000Like, if there's two big questions that you're going to be asked Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, question number one is going to be, what are you going to do as president?
00:48:13.000And number two is going to be, how's it different than Joe Biden?
00:48:15.000And she has the answers to neither of them, but she does like shiny things.
00:48:19.000She does like shiny things, shiny objects.
00:48:45.000It is about a new way that is based on a new generation of leadership, that is based on new ideas and, frankly, a different experience that brings my commitment to the work I am talking about into being.
00:49:03.000The levels of visceral rage, I feel, when someone says absolutely nothing with perfect, 100% sneering confidence, that is who she is.
00:49:17.000She just rambles and babbles about nothing for like a full 45 seconds right there.
00:49:22.000But she says so with like the hand motion and she's lecturing you about things that you should know that perfectly.
00:49:27.000When we do the work, it's filled with work.
00:49:29.000And then the work that we do is important work because work is in fact important based on the work and complexity of others in the context of what we believe.
00:49:41.000You don't know what you're talking about.
00:50:20.000I mean, it takes a certain kind of man to be banned from CNN, namely a man with testosterone.
00:50:25.000But in any case, you are also the founder, of course, of the 1776 Project PAC, which is doing an amazing job on school boards across the country.
00:50:31.000So why don't you take us through the saga of being on CNN, debating an entire panel, which you do pretty much every night or did until very recently.
00:50:39.000And you are faced with Mehdi Hassan, who is a Qatari propagandist who has spent basically his entire career doing terror apologism.
00:50:49.000Yeah, so I got on the show, and the producers had texted me right beforehand, switching up all the segments, which, like, it's not uncommon they were going to do.
00:50:59.000And there was now going to be two segments on the Trump rally instead of segments on war and, like, another major issue.
00:51:06.000We're going to do two segments on the Trump rally.
00:51:11.000The fact that I was having to talk about a joke from a comedian who I honestly, no offense to him, but I didn't know who he was 48 hours ago or 72 hours ago.
00:51:48.000So I made that decision that night that I was going to tell him he needed to apologize for all the lies that he said.
00:51:54.000And I was like, this is my last night on CNN. They're never going to have me back.
00:51:57.000I'm going to call him out on the network.
00:51:59.000Anyway, then they had on Medi, and I began the set, and Ashley Allison, who sat next to me, the woman sitting next to me, we started watching all the clips, the Kill Tony clips, and she started making comments about, like, oh, this is white man humor, which, once again, very irritated.
00:52:17.000Had I said that, like, in race reversals, I wouldn't even have made it on the show.
00:52:21.000But, you know, I understand the hypocrisy and the double standards.
00:52:25.000We do the segment, and I said that people in the media said that every Republican who attended that rally were fascists and Nazis, which Abby said that's not true.
00:52:38.000So now this is like the third strike in a row I don't like.
00:52:40.000I'm very annoyed at my mom with Brian later about accuracy in the media, Ashley's comments, and then Abby calling me saying I wasn't accurate about something I knew I was accurate about.
00:52:49.000So then Matty basically says there and refers to me as, basically, he refers to me and my other conservative co-panels as Nazis on air.
00:52:59.000I have never crossed paths with this man before.
00:54:28.000As if he didn't just call two guests Nazis on air and then accuse the other one who has never met him of calling him an anti-Semite, which I have never done.
00:54:39.000Not that he isn't one, but I've never done it.
00:54:48.000And he's always been a terror apologist.
00:54:49.000My friend Douglas Murray has debated him multiple times on this particular issue.
00:54:52.000So not only would you have been right on the merits to say that, you didn't actually say that.
00:54:57.000And then you made a throwaway joke after he called not just people on the air Nazis and not just the attendees at Madison Square Garden, but by extension all Trump supporters, which would be, you know, at least 48% of the population Nazis.
00:55:08.000That is perfectly acceptable on CNN. If you make a joke about him, however, because he's part of the sort of intersectional structure that CNN is attempting to build, then you have violated the rules and you must confess.
00:55:55.000And it is very rare on cable news, on almost any program, that you get the moment that they do something and take the chance because everyone's so hungry to stay on the network that they'll say anything to just promote it.
00:56:14.000Well, Ryan, honestly, I think that you did a service because, you know, exposing CNN for what it is, is actually, I think, the best thing that you could have done.
00:56:21.000You know, it's great to have you on the network and giving a conservative opinion once in a while, you know, just to mix things up, like a little bit of pepper in the stew of trash that CNN usually represents.
00:56:29.000But I think that you've actually done an enormous service to the world by demonstrating the insane double standard that CNN holds while they proclaim that they are an objective news organization.
00:56:37.000Again, their guests and hosts can routinely call half of America Nazis.
