The Ben Shapiro Show - President Leeroy Jenkins | Ep. 817

00:00:00.000 The Democratic piranhas tear each other apart, so President Trump decides, hey, why not jump into the water?

00:00:05.000 And ICE concerns hit fever pitch.

00:00:07.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:07.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:09.000 Well, the first rule of politics is don't stop your enemy when they're in the middle of making a mistake.

00:00:20.000 But President Trump breaks all the rules, man.

00:00:22.000 That's just the way he rolls.

00:00:24.000 I know that there may not be a lot of World of Warcraft fans here in the Ben Shapiro Show audience, but I do need to make a reference that requires explanation.

00:00:33.000 So, there is a game, an online game called World of Warcraft.

00:00:37.000 It is a multiplayer game, apparently.

00:00:38.000 I'm not a World of Warcraft player myself.

00:00:41.000 And all of the, all of the, there's one very famous meme that has come from World of Warcraft in which a bunch of people who are all playing World of Warcraft together are sitting around planning their next move and one of the players is away from his computer preparing himself a plate of chicken.

00:00:57.000 He comes back and they are all still preparing their plan and he decides to randomly charge directly into the middle of a firefight thus killing everyone while shouting LEROY JENKINS!

00:01:09.000 Well, This is President Trump.

00:01:12.000 The news cycle this weekend could have been the Democrats tearing each other apart.

00:01:16.000 The news cycle could have been this weekend people attempting to raid an ICE facility and one guy getting killed while attempting to destroy an ICE facility.

00:01:25.000 All of that could have been the news cycle this weekend.

00:01:27.000 Instead, the news cycle was LEROY JENKINS, the President of the United States, deciding to tweet xenophobic nonsense.

00:01:35.000 In the middle of a Democratic infight and to do so in such a way that the Democrats were able to unite against him. 1.00

00:01:42.000 This is so intensely stupid. 1.00

00:01:44.000 It is almost impossible to overstate how stupid this is on a political level on a moral level. 1.00

00:01:49.000 It is idiocy of the highest order now. 1.00

00:01:52.000 Does this mean that the people whom President Trump is attacking are suddenly godsense, that they are wonders to the United States? 1.00

00:01:59.000 No, that's the point.

00:01:59.000 The point is that a targeted, a targeted political attack on Ilhan Omar would be well taken.

00:02:05.000 She's a terrible congressperson with terrible ideas. 1.00

00:02:08.000 Or, alternatively, shut up and let the Democrats do it. 0.99

00:02:12.000 Because here's where we were when last we left our story last Friday.

00:02:16.000 When last we left our story, Nancy Pelosi and AOC were in the middle of a massive firefight with one another. 1.00

00:02:22.000 And it was glorious.

00:02:24.000 As a conservative, it was glorious to watch all of the specters, all of the ghosts of Christmas past, the intersectional ghosts of Christmas past, come back to haunt Nancy Pelosi.

00:02:35.000 It was wonderful, because Nancy Pelosi had enabled this intersectional nonsense for years on end, proclaiming that everyone who disagreed with the left agenda was a racist, and it had come back to bite her directly on her posterior, thanks to AOC and her crew.

00:02:50.000 And meanwhile, she was going after AOC too, and everybody was going after everybody.

00:02:55.000 And then Leroy Jenkins appeared, President Jenkins.

00:02:57.000 And he decided to insert himself. 0.88

00:02:59.000 We'll explain exactly how all of this played out since last week, and why on a political level it's moronic, and beyond that, why on a moral level it is bad stuff. 0.77

00:03:10.000 Of relatively high order.

00:03:11.000 We'll get to that in just one second first.

00:04:21.000 Okay, so let us review.

00:04:22.000 This all began when Nancy Pelosi, she spent basically the last seven months vacillating between praising AOC for her supposed energy and brilliance and knocking AOC as a dolt, who doesn't know what the hell she's doing, who's too radical, who attacks moderate members of the Democratic caucus. who doesn't know what the hell she's doing, who's too It was criticism like this that we're about to hear from Nancy Pelosi that led AOC to strike back.

00:04:45.000 So this began with Nancy Pelosi attacking AOC and suggesting that a glass of water would win AOC's district if it had a D on it, which of course is true. 1.00

00:04:52.000 When we won this election, it was a very good thing.

00:04:55.000 It wasn't in districts like mine or Alexandria's.

00:04:59.000 However, she's a wonderful member of Congress.

00:05:02.000 I think all of our colleagues will attest.

00:05:05.000 But those are districts that are solidly democratic.

00:05:08.000 This glass of water would win with a D next to its name in those districts.

00:05:14.000 And not to diminish the exuberance and the personality and the rest of Alexandria and the other members. 1.00

00:05:22.000 Okay, the exuberance is wonderful, but they're idiots, is what Pelosi's saying. 0.99

00:05:25.000 Well, this caused AOC to get mad, and then she told the Washington Post, quote, But the persistent singling out, it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful, the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color. 1.00

00:05:33.000 So now she is calling out Nancy Pelosi as a racist.

00:05:35.000 moderate members, which I understood.

00:05:36.000 But the persistent singling out, it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful, the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color. 1.00

00:05:43.000 So now she is calling out Nancy Pelosi as a racist.

00:05:45.000 The reason Pelosi is attacking AOC or Ayanna Pressley, who again is the Ringo Starr of the squad's Beatles. 1.00

00:05:52.000 Or Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib.

00:05:53.000 The reason that Pelosi is attacking those people is not because they are so radical that they are undercutting democratic appeal in the middle of the country.

00:06:00.000 She's not attacking them because they're dolts who don't know how Congress works. 1.00

00:06:04.000 And publicity hounds who are interested in the nearest camera. 0.97

00:06:08.000 Now the reason that Pelosi is attacking AOC according to AOC is because Pelosi's a racist.

00:06:12.000 And all of us on the right were like, yes.

00:06:13.000 Yes, make the magic happen.

00:06:16.000 Do it.

00:06:17.000 Let them fight.

00:06:19.000 This is what we were waiting for.

00:06:20.000 We were waiting for the moment when the intersectional caucus came for old Nancy Pelosi in the same way that the intersectional caucus is coming for Joe Biden.

00:06:27.000 And then AOC upped the ante.

00:06:29.000 She suggested that Nancy Pelosi was responsible for death threats against AOC and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley. 0.56

00:06:36.000 ...singling out poor individuals.

00:06:39.000 And knowing the media environment that we're operating in, knowing the amount of death threats that we get, knowing the amount of concentration of attention, I think it's just worth asking why.

00:06:51.000 Do you think she has racial animus? 0.98

00:06:52.000 Is she racist? 1.00

00:06:53.000 No, no, absolutely not.

00:06:55.000 No, no, I'm walking away.

00:06:56.000 Bye.

00:06:57.000 Yeah, kind of. 0.99

00:06:58.000 She's racist. 1.00

00:07:00.000 So that all leads to the CBC, the Congressional Black Caucus, then firing back on AOC and her squad on behalf of Nancy Pelosi. 0.83

00:07:07.000 Why?

00:07:08.000 Well, because Saikhat Chakrabarty is the chief of staff for AOC.

00:07:11.000 Some say AOC's brain.

00:07:13.000 And he has spent the last several months attacking the quote unquote new Democrats, Southern Democrats, many of whom are black and who happen to be more moderate in orientation on some of the policy issues that AOC is pushing.

00:07:25.000 So he originally tweeted out that these New Democrats were like 1940s-style Jim Crow Democrats.

00:07:30.000 Even though many of them are black.

00:07:32.000 And then he retracted that, and then he tweeted out, didn't realize this needed to be said, but you can be someone who does not personally harbor ill will toward a race, but through your actions still enable a racist system.

00:07:41.000 And a lot of New Democrats and Blue Dogs did that today. 0.78

00:07:44.000 This is in reference to my comparing Blue Dogs and New Democrats to 1940 Southern Democrats.

00:07:49.000 Southern Democrats enabled a racist system too.

00:07:51.000 I have no idea how personally racist they all were, and we're seeing the same dynamic play out now.

00:07:55.000 So he was out there, her chief of staff, calling the other Democrats a bunch of vicious racists in the mold of the Southern Democrats who are enabling a racist system.

00:08:03.000 Why?

00:08:04.000 Because they voted for additional funding for ICE so that ICE could do its job and ensure that people who are crossing the border illegally weren't being penned up in cages 20 to a room.

00:08:13.000 And as it turns out, it's not enough funding anyway.

00:08:15.000 So Saikhat Chakrabarty was attacking all of these other so-called New Democrats.

00:08:20.000 Well, this then led the House Democratic account on Twitter.

00:08:24.000 This was Friday.

00:08:25.000 The House Democratic account, which apparently is handled by Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from New York, He tweeted out, who is this guy?

00:08:32.000 And why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color?

00:08:36.000 And the reason that this is being brought up is because Chakrabarti also tweeted, I think the point still stands.

00:08:42.000 I don't think people have to be personally racist to enable a racist system.

00:08:45.000 And the same could even be said of the Southern Democrats.

00:08:47.000 I don't believe Sharice is a racist person, but her votes are showing her to enable a racist system.

00:08:52.000 He was referring to Sharice Davids, right?

00:08:54.000 Congresswoman Sharice Davids, who voted in favor of ICE funding.

00:08:59.000 So Hakeem Jeffries tweeted out on behalf of the entire House Democratic Caucus, apparently, who is this guy and why is he explicitly singling out a Native American woman of color?

00:09:07.000 Her name is Congresswoman Davids, not Sharice.

00:09:09.000 She's a phenomenal new member who flipped a red seat blue. 1.00

00:09:12.000 And then with the black colored hand emojis, Keep.

00:09:19.000 Her.

00:09:19.000 Hand.

00:09:20.000 Of.

00:09:20.000 Out.

00:09:20.000 Your.

00:09:21.000 Mouth.

00:09:21.000 Oh, well, you know that they've gone fire, the House Democrats, when they start using the clapping emojis.

00:09:26.000 Clapping emojis are, in the left, a sign of seriousness.

00:09:30.000 If you use a fire emoji or a clapping emoji, this means you are super-duper, super-duper pooper-scooper serious on the left if you start using those sorts of emojis.

00:09:38.000 So, they're using the emojis on AOC's Chief of Staff, and it appeared that this was all coming to a head.

00:09:43.000 It appeared And the Democrats were all going to go directly after Chakrabarty.

00:09:48.000 They weren't going to go after AOC because they can't do anything about AOC.

00:09:50.000 They weren't going to go directly after Ilhan Omar, who, after all, just two months ago they defended, even though she's a rabid anti-Semite.

00:09:55.000 They were going to go after Chakrabarty and knock him off.

00:09:57.000 And by knocking off Chakrabarty, who is allegedly AOC's brain, they were basically going to render AOC feckless and defunct.

00:10:04.000 And then that caucus would basically disappear from the front pages because, let's face it, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are not nearly as media attractive as AOC is, which is why AOC gets all the attention.

00:10:15.000 In a second, we'll explain how this was getting even worse for AOC and the squad and how they were fighting back until Leroy Jenkins arrived.

00:10:22.000 I'll explain in just one second.

00:10:23.000 First, losing hair, it's not fun.

00:10:25.000 Two out of three dudes will experience hair loss by the time they're 35 years old.

00:10:29.000 Introducing Keeps, the easiest, most affordable way to keep the hair you have.

00:10:32.000 These FDA-approved products used to cost a lot, but now, thanks to Keeps, they're finally inexpensive and easy to obtain.

00:10:37.000 For five minutes now, starting at just $10 per month, you're never going to have to worry about hair loss again.

00:10:42.000 It should take a lot off your mind, considering that if you got hair loss running in your family, you kind of sit there worrying every day, how much hair am I losing?

00:10:48.000 And it's never coming back.

00:10:49.000 Getting started is super easy.

00:10:50.000 Signing up takes less than five minutes.

00:10:56.000 A licensed physician will review your information online, recommend the right treatment for you, and then it's shipped directly to your door every three months.

00:11:07.000 Only 10 bucks to 35 bucks a month.

00:11:09.000 Plus, now you can get your first month for free.

00:11:12.000 That's a hell of a deal for keeping your hair.

00:11:13.000 As you know, hair loss runs in my family, and there is a reason that Keeps should be on the front of your mind.

00:11:19.000 If you suffer from hair loss, the last thing you need is to wait to see a doctor with Keeps.

00:11:22.000 There's finally a way to get the help when you need it for a limited time.

00:11:25.000 Get your first month of treatment for free.

00:11:26.000 Go to Keeps.com slash Ben.

00:11:28.000 If you suffer from hair loss, get that first month of treatment for free.

00:11:31.000 Go to K-E-E-P-S dot com slash Ben Keeps dot com.

00:11:34.000 So, this gets even worse for the squad.

00:11:38.000 Congressional Black Caucus member Gregory Meeks ripped into the Justice Democrats who are led by Chakrabarty and aligned with AOC.

00:11:47.000 They started attacking them just in the last few days, right?

00:11:51.000 And they were going after them hard.

00:11:53.000 So the Justice Democrats were backing primary challengers to eight-term Representative Henry Queller of Texas, a Hispanic caucus member, and 10-term Representative William Lacy Clay of Missouri, who's a member of the CBC.

00:12:04.000 They were also talking about challenging the Democratic caucus chairman, Hakeem Jeffries, who of course hates them.

00:12:09.000 And he, of course, is seen as an heir apparent to Nancy Pelosi.

00:12:12.000 And he is also the person who's in charge of that House Democrats account that was attacking Chakrabarty.

00:12:18.000 Well, this prompted Gregory Meeks, a senior CBC member, to say, quote, I don't know what the agenda is, but if they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, it's two ways.

00:12:25.000 Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African-Americans are included in part of this process.

00:12:31.000 I don't know what the agenda is, but if they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, it's two ways, meaning that we are going to, they're either going to win or they're going to lose.

00:12:39.000 A lot of folks very upset with the Justice Democrats.

00:12:43.000 So all this was breaking out into the open.

00:12:45.000 All of this was wonderful.

00:12:46.000 And AOC's wing then came to her defense. 0.84

00:12:49.000 So Ilhan Omar then came to her defense.

00:12:51.000 She was appearing at NetRootNation, which is a conference of crazy people on the radical left.

00:12:55.000 Where, as we'll see later in the program, they actually perform fake abortions on watermelons. 0.75

00:12:59.000 It's all good times over at NetRootNation.

00:13:01.000 And Ilhan Omar told the crowd that lawmakers, quote, shouldn't ask for permission or wait for an invitation to lead.

00:13:08.000 In other words, we're not going to listen to Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:10.000 She said, we recognize every single person has a role.

00:13:13.000 Our role is to take our votes.

00:13:15.000 Leadership's role is to wrangle votes.

00:13:16.000 And so if everyone understands what their role is, then everyone succeeds.

00:13:20.000 That's Omar saying, Nancy, you stick to your job, you stick to wrangling our vote, and you let us say what we want.

00:13:26.000 She was also on a panel alongside Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, again, the Beatles of socialism here.

00:13:32.000 And Omar said, there's a constant, often struggle, oftentimes, with people who have power about sharing that power.

00:13:37.000 So that was her subtweeting Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:40.000 She said, we are not really in the business of asking for that share of that power.

00:13:43.000 We are in the business of trying to grab that power and return it to the people.

00:13:47.000 So that is the, again, Non-moderate, non-rational Ilhan Omar trying to wrest control away from Nancy Pelosi.

00:13:58.000 Ayanna Pressley went even further. 1.00

00:14:00.000 Again, Ringo Starr here of the squad.

00:14:02.000 She, at Netroots Nations, she again attacked the Congressional Black Caucus, and she said, listen, here's what we don't need. 0.99

00:14:09.000 We don't need black people who don't know that they're black, or gay people who don't know that they're gay. 0.99

00:14:13.000 We need people who think exactly like Ayanna Pressley does, because Ayanna Pressley is the greatest expository of what it means to be black or gay or Latino or whatever. 0.97

00:14:23.000 She knows what it is to be a true member of the intersectional community.

00:14:27.000 Here is Ayanna Pressley launching a tax on democratic leadership.

00:14:29.000 If you're going to come to this table and for all of you that have aspirations of running for office, for whatever lived experience and identity that you represent, if you are not prepared to come to that table and to represent that voice, don't come. 0.63

00:14:47.000 Because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. 1.00

00:14:52.000 We don't need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. 1.00

00:14:56.000 We don't need Muslims that don't want to be a Muslim voice. 0.99

00:14:58.000 We don't need queers that don't want to be a queer voice. 1.00

00:15:01.000 Okay, and everybody cheering because everybody's crazy over at Netroots Nation. 0.97

00:15:05.000 Who in the Democratic caucus is she talking about? 0.99

00:15:07.000 A black person who doesn't want to be black? 0.99

00:15:08.000 Or a queer person who doesn't want to be queer? 0.95

00:15:10.000 She's allowed to use that word, I guess.

00:15:11.000 So I guess we're all allowed to use the word in that context.

00:15:13.000 Okay, fine.

00:15:15.000 This is, this is...

00:15:16.000 The Democrats tearing each other apart.

00:15:18.000 And then Karen Atia, who's the global opinions editor over at the Washington Post, she tweets out, what people need to see in this newly formed Maureen Dowd, Speaker Pelosi, Donald Trump Axis of Sheevil is that white supremacy relies on dismissing, silencing and undermining women of color, putting them in their place by any means necessary. 1.00

00:15:37.000 I mean, this thing was out in the open.

00:15:38.000 That is the global editor of the Washington Post editorial page saying that Maureen Dowd and Nancy Pelosi and real Donald Trump That's his Twitter account.

00:15:48.000 They're all on the same page. 0.97

00:15:49.000 They are all white supremacists. 1.00

00:15:51.000 They're all white supremacists. 1.00

00:15:53.000 That's a hot take, man. 0.98

00:15:54.000 And all Trump had to do was sit back and be quiet.

00:15:57.000 And it got even better because Maureen Dowd then decided to join the fight. 1.00

00:16:00.000 So she's referenced in that Karen Atia tweet.

00:16:03.000 She had a piece in The New York Times on Sunday in which she was talking about the internecine warfare between Nancy Pelosi and AOC.

00:16:12.000 She says, quote, "I was feeling on edge.

00:16:14.000 Writing a column that sparks an internecine fight among the highest profile women in the Democratic Party is nerve-wracking.

00:16:19.000 So I went to the gym.

00:16:20.000 Alex Twissant, the digital Peloton instructor inside the screen on my spinning bike, had some wisdom for me, the kind of new-age bromide dispensed in spin classes everywhere.

00:16:28.000 You climb the mountain to see the world.

00:16:29.000 You don't climb the mountain so the world can see you.

00:16:32.000 I only wished AOC was cycling alongside me to hear it as well.

00:16:36.000 AOC ensorcelled me from the start.

00:16:38.000 I love the bartender makes good Cinderella story.

00:16:41.000 The shake up the capital idealistic dreams.

00:16:43.000 The bravado about how the plutocrat president from Queens wouldn't know how to deal with a Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx. 0.99

00:16:48.000 She's not from the Bronx.

00:16:49.000 And I imagine the most potent feminist partnership in American history. 1.00

00:16:52.000 Nancy Pelosi is sensei, bringing her inside game, and AOC, the karate kid with a wicked Twitter game. 0.61

00:16:57.000 But instead, the 79-year-old speaker and the 29-year-old freshman are trapped in a generational and ideological tangle that poses a real threat to the Democrats' ability to beat Donald Trump next year.

00:17:07.000 Pelosi told me, after the AOC squad voted against the House's version of the border bill and trashed the moderates, the very people who provided the Democrats the majority, that the squad was four people with four votes.

00:17:16.000 She was talking about a legislative reality.

00:17:18.000 If it was a knock, it was for abandoning the party.

00:17:21.000 That did not merit AOC's outrageous accusation that Pelosi was targeting newly elected women of color. 0.54

00:17:26.000 She slimed the speaker who has spent her life fighting for the downtrodden and who was instrumental in getting the first African-American president elected and passing his agenda against all odds as a sexist and as a racist. 0.97

00:17:38.000 AOC, says Maureen Dowd, should consider the possibility that people who disagree with her do not disagree with her color.

00:17:43.000 Glad to see the left come around on this one, gang.

00:17:45.000 That's entertaining. 1.00

00:17:46.000 Glad to see the left finally realize, oh wait a second, if I think AOC is just stupid, then maybe it's because I think she's stupid, not because of the color of her skin. 1.00

00:17:54.000 Because lots of people with lots of different colors of skin are incredibly stupid, as we will see. 1.00

00:18:00.000 In just a second, we'll continue with Maureen Dowd's column. 1.00

00:18:03.000 This was all, what was the news cycle?

00:18:05.000 This was the news cycle, okay?

00:18:08.000 This is where the news cycle was.

00:19:20.000 Okay, so Maureen Dowd lamenting the fight between AOC and Nancy Pelosi.

00:19:24.000 She says, the young lawmaker went further, implying that the speaker was putting the squad in danger, asking why Pelosi would criticize them, knowing the amount of death threats and attention they get.

00:19:33.000 Huh?

00:19:34.000 AOC pulled back and said she wasn't calling Pelosi a racist, but once you start that ball rolling, it's hard to stop.

00:19:39.000 You know how topsy-turvy the fight is when the biggest defenders of Pelosi, who has endured being a caricature of extreme liberalism for decades, are Trump and the Wall Street Journal editorial board.

00:19:48.000 The AOC crew threw down a gauntlet in a recent opinion piece in the Washington Post by The Intercept's Ryan Grimm.

00:19:54.000 He wrote that when Pelosi and other Democratic mandarins try to keep the image of the party centrist, they are crouching in the defensive posture they've been in since the Reagan revolution.

00:20:03.000 Corbyn Trent, spokesman for AOC, co-founder of Justice Democrats, said, The greatest threat to mankind is the cowardice of the Democratic Party, with the older generation driven by fear and unable to lead.

00:20:13.000 Message, Pelosi is past her prime.

00:20:14.000 Except, says Maureen Dowd, she's not.

00:20:16.000 And then there's the real instigator, Sycott Chakrabarty.

00:20:18.000 As I say, all the guns were out on Sycott.

00:20:21.000 I mean, the sights were leveled at Sycott Chakrabarty as of 24 hours ago.

00:20:26.000 That's AOC's 33-year-old chief of staff, who co-founded Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, both of which recruited progressives, including AOC, to run against moderates in Democratic primaries.

00:20:35.000 The former Silicon Valley Bernie bro assumes he could apply Facebook's mantra, move fast and break things, to one of the oldest institutions in a country.

00:20:42.000 But, says Maureen Dowd, Congress is not a place where you achieve radical progress, certainly not in divided government.

00:20:48.000 It's a place where you work at it, and work at it, and don't get everything you want.

00:20:51.000 The progressives act as though anyone who dares disagree with them is bad.

00:20:54.000 Not wrong, but bad.

00:20:55.000 Guilty of some human failing.

00:20:57.000 Some impurity that is a moral evil that justifies their venom.

00:21:00.000 Rahm Emanuel told me Chakra Bharti is a snot-nosed punk who has no idea about the battle scars Pelosi bears from the liberal fight she's led.

00:21:07.000 What votes did you get, Emanuel said, rhetorically challenging AOC's chief of staff?

00:21:11.000 You should only be so lucky to learn from somebody like Nancy, who has shown incredible courage and who has twice returned the Democratic Party to power.

00:21:17.000 We fought for years to create the majorities, to get a Democratic president elected and re-elected, and they're going to dither it away.

00:21:22.000 They've not decided what's more important.

00:21:24.000 Do they want to beat Trump?

00:21:25.000 Or do they want to clear the moderate and centrist out of the party?

00:21:28.000 You really think weakening the Speaker is the right strategy to get rid of Trump and everything he stands for? 0.99

00:21:32.000 In the age of Trump, says Maureen Dowd, there is no more stupid proposition than that Nancy Pelosi is the problem. 0.98

00:21:37.000 If AOC and her Pygmalions and acolytes decide that burning down the House is more important than deposing Trump, they will be left with a racist backward president and the emotional satisfaction of their own purity. 1.00

00:21:47.000 So Maureen Dowd, long knives out for Chakrabarty, long knives out for AOC and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley.

00:21:57.000 And they're all fighting back.

00:21:58.000 I mean, this is the biggest Democratic infight that I have seen in recent memory.

00:22:03.000 And then it gets even worse for the Democrats, because it turns out that over the weekend, all of their talk about ICE actually results in some pretty nasty side effects, some pretty nasty sides.

00:22:16.000 Here are a couple of stories about what was going on.

00:22:19.000 Over the weekend, so here's what's happening really with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

00:22:22.000 What's happening is they're overwhelmed at the border because Congress has not provided them the funding.

00:22:26.000 Congress has not provided them the necessary funding because Democrats do not wish to provide them the necessary funding.

00:22:31.000 Democrats wish for there to be a humanitarian crisis at the border that would supposedly justify releasing large numbers of people into the interior of the United States without keeping proper tabs on them so that eventually they will be given amnesty and become American citizens or so that they can live illegally in the country.

00:22:47.000 So over the weekend, Mike Pence Went down to the border.

00:22:50.000 We'll talk about that in just a second.

00:22:51.000 So Mike Pence heads down to the southern border for a visit, and he looks at the migrant detention centers in Texas.

00:22:58.000 He toured two border patrol facilities and It was not great.

00:23:05.000 And Mike Pence made clear that it was not great.

00:23:06.000 He sort of gave a little bit of conflicting testimony here.

00:23:09.000 The tour, according to the New York Times, gave journalists covering the VP a rare glimpse inside a border patrol station near McAllen, Texas, where they observed nearly 400 men crammed inside a cage with no space to lie down, no mats or pillows, according to pool reports.

00:23:21.000 Before members of the news media were ushered out of the facility, some of the detainees shouted they'd been there for more than 40 days, were hungry, and could not brush their teeth.

00:23:29.000 One pool reporter described the stench as horrendous.

00:23:31.000 Some of the agents wore face masks.

00:23:33.000 and said it was sweltering inside the detention center, which is less than 10 miles from the Rio Grande, a river that divides the United States and Mexico.

00:23:40.000 Mike Pence had this to say about the situation on the border.

00:23:44.000 These families are receiving compassionate care in a proper environment.

00:23:49.000 And I asked every one of those little children, are you being well taken care of?

00:23:53.000 And they all looked at me and said, yes.

00:23:56.000 See?

00:23:57.000 And that did my heart good.

00:23:58.000 It made me proud.

00:23:59.000 But everyone even in that temporary facility, Pamela, is getting three meals a day. 1.00

00:24:03.000 They're getting health care.

00:24:05.000 They're getting hygiene.

00:24:06.000 And the Customs and Border Protection is doing their level best In an overcrowded environment and a difficult environment to address this issue, but Congress has got to act to make it possible for us to reduce the numbers of people coming into our country illegally. 0.73

00:24:24.000 So CNN juxtaposes, obviously, Pence talking about children and the treatment of children with the treatment of adults, which is not exactly the same thing.

00:24:32.000 Pence then commented on the situation at the border with regard to those adults, right?

00:24:37.000 He said, I was not surprised by what I saw.

00:24:38.000 He said, I knew we would see a system that was overwhelmed.

00:24:41.000 This is tough stuff.

00:24:42.000 And this is the point.

00:24:43.000 The situation on the border is bad.

00:24:45.000 And the reason that it is bad is because Democrats do wish it to be bad.

00:24:48.000 The Democrats wish to rip ice.

00:24:50.000 They wish to portray ice as an Auschwitz like situation.

00:24:55.000 They wish to portray immigration and customs enforcement as running concentration camps.

00:24:59.000 Those are the words of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Alyssa Milano, the heart of the Democratic Party.

00:25:04.000 She tweeted out a picture of Mike Pence.

00:25:07.000 Viewing these detention facilities alongside a picture of Heinrich Himmler viewing the concentration camps, which makes perfect sense until you realize that Himmler had everybody inside those camps gassed, whereas everybody who is inside that cage will eventually either become an American citizen or be released back to their home country, which is not the same thing at all. 0.85

00:25:23.000 And they would all be treated better if Democrats would sign a damn check to make sure that ICE could do what it needs to do. 0.99

00:25:30.000 And this becomes obvious when you see members of ICE speaking publicly about this situation. 0.97

00:25:35.000 So, late on Friday, there was a hearing about the situation on the border.

00:25:40.000 Representative Garcia was speaking with a former ICE head, whose name is Homan, and he went directly after Representative Garcia.

00:25:48.000 He said, you know, you're going after ICE.

00:25:50.000 We're the ones doing the hard work on the border.

00:25:52.000 What the hell are you talking about?

00:25:54.000 Mr. Holman, I'm a father. 0.99

00:25:56.000 Do you have children?

00:25:58.000 How can you possibly allow this to happen under your watch?

00:26:01.000 Do you not care?

00:26:02.000 Is it because these children don't look like children that are around you?

00:26:07.000 I don't get it. 1.00

00:26:09.000 First of all, your comments are disgusting. 0.89

00:26:11.000 I've served my country for 34 years. 0.96

00:26:16.000 This is out of control.

00:26:17.000 I've served my country for 34 years.

00:26:19.000 What I've been trying to do my 34 years serving my nation is to save lives.

00:26:24.000 So for you to sit there and insult my integrity and my love for my country and for children, that's why this whole thing needs to be fixed.

00:26:33.000 Okay, and this is the truth, right?

00:26:35.000 Democrats are grandstanding on this issue.

00:26:38.000 That's Jesus Garcia, Democrat of Illinois, and that was former ICE Enforcement Chief Tom Homan, who is testifying on all of this.

00:26:45.000 Well, this was leading to this grand rift between the right and the left on ICE, where Democrats are basically now claiming that they want open borders, and in order to achieve that open border situation, they want to make sure that nobody gets funded.

00:27:00.000 So that nobody can actually be held at the border and processed in an orderly fashion.

00:27:04.000 Take, for example, Ilhan Omar.

00:27:05.000 So the representative, radical representative from Minnesota.

00:27:08.000 She was at Netroots Nation and she said, we live in a society and govern in a body that treats dogs better than children, right?

00:27:14.000 Ripping into Americans as racist and xenophobic and terrible. 0.94

00:27:19.000 This, ICE is apparently an emissary of evil.

00:27:22.000 Here's Ilhan Omar.

00:27:25.000 One of our members said to me, if there were dogs in those cages, every single member of Congress would vote to make sure that all of these cages didn't exist anymore.

00:27:41.000 So we live in a society We live in a society and govern in a body that might value the life of a dog more than they value the life of a child who might not look like theirs. 0.67

00:27:57.000 Okay, it's a disgusting thing to say about the country, obviously.

00:28:00.000 We don't live in a society where Americans value the life of a dog over the life of a child at the border. 0.95

00:28:03.000 It's insane.

00:28:04.000 Why do you think there's such outrage about what's going on at the border?

00:28:07.000 Why do you think that everybody, right, left, and center, wants more funding at the border, wants something to be done so that this is not the situation at the border?

00:28:14.000 But the Democrats are making that impossible because at the same time that they are claiming that they are deeply Concerned about the situation at the border.

00:28:21.000 People like Ilhan Omar are voting.

00:28:22.000 She voted against funding at the border.

00:28:24.000 She voted against a $5 billion bill that was passed by the House Democrats to fund the situation over at the border.

00:28:31.000 And meanwhile, you have top Democratic officials like Mayor Eric Garcetti in my hometown of Los Angeles, suggesting that illegal immigrants who are caught up in ICE raids, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, in his city will be defended at taxpayer costs in Los Angeles.

00:28:47.000 I mean, this is full-scale incentivization of open borders.

00:28:49.000 This is what Democrats were pushing over the weekend. 0.97

00:28:53.000 No matter their immigration status, I want every Angeleno to know their rights and how to exercise them.

00:28:59.000 Remember, you have the right to remain silent.

00:29:01.000 You don't have to open your door to a nice agent that doesn't have a warrant signed by a judge.

00:29:06.000 You have the right to speak to a lawyer before signing any documents or speaking to law enforcement.

00:29:11.000 And if you need help finding an attorney, you can call 311 and learn more about our Justice Fund and other resources that offer legal support.

00:29:19.000 And most importantly, I want you to know you do not need be afraid.

00:29:23.000 Your city is on your side.

00:29:25.000 And rest assured, here in Los Angeles, we are not coordinating with ICE.

00:29:28.000 Right.

00:29:29.000 I mean, this is a major city.

00:29:30.000 It's a hometown to a lot of folks who are illegally immigrants, illegal immigrants here in the United States, obviously.

00:29:36.000 The Democrats are pushing a radical agenda on the border.

00:29:39.000 So here are the headlines over the weekend.

00:29:41.000 Democrats pushing radical agenda on border.

00:29:43.000 Democrats at war with each other.

00:29:45.000 And then there were a couple of other headlines that are getting completely ignored that have to do with the immigration situation.

00:29:50.000 These would have all been the headlines if The president hadn't Leroy Jenkins'd the whole thing, which we'll get to in just a second.

00:29:57.000 We'll get to the morality of what he had to say as well.

00:29:58.000 We'll get to all that in just a second.

00:31:12.000 We'll get to that in one second.

00:31:14.000 First, a couple of things.

00:31:15.000 First, you need to subscribe over at dailywire.com.

00:31:18.000 $9.99 a month, $9.99 a year.

00:31:22.000 get all extra access to all sorts of great stuff that we do including the daily wire backstage and our sunday special last week's was daniel hannon it was terrific also i want to mention that apollo 11 what we saw episode 2 came out today so i interviewed bill whittle the host of apollo 11 what we saw last friday on the program in stuff i like and things i like and the series is doing great business I mean, it's number three overall on iTunes.

00:31:47.000 It really is, it's beautifully produced.

00:31:49.000 Bill does a great job with it.

00:31:50.000 Episode one was already one of the highest rated episodes on iTunes.

00:31:54.000 Episode two came out today as well.

00:31:55.000 If you haven't subscribed, go over to iTunes, wherever you listen to podcasts, SoundCloud, wherever you listen, and you can subscribe at Apollo 11, What We Saw.

00:32:02.000 Episode two, again, out today.

00:32:06.000 And again, that helps us bring you all sorts of content, including Apollo, when you subscribe, brings all this content, including the Apollo 11 series, all sorts of good stuff happening over at Daily Wire.

00:32:14.000 We are the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast in the nation.

00:32:17.000 Well, all the hubbub over immigration has some pretty extreme stories associated with it.

00:32:30.000 So I'm always hesitant to say that rhetoric causes violence.

00:32:33.000 I'm always hesitant to say it.

00:32:34.000 Unless you are explicitly calling for violence, I don't believe that you are the cause of that violence.

00:32:39.000 Unless you say, go punch that guy in the face, I don't think that you caused somebody to punch that guy in the face.

00:32:44.000 If you say, I don't like that guy, not the same thing. 1.00

00:32:46.000 If you say, I think that guy's a jerk, not the same thing. 0.98

00:32:48.000 Even if you say, I think that guy's a racist, not the same thing. 0.98

00:32:51.000 What is obvious is that the lack of any sort of rational discourse happening around the immigration situation is raising the temperature.

00:33:00.000 And when you raise the temperature, you are going to get more of the water spilling over the sides of the pot.

00:33:06.000 And that's what you have over the weekend.

00:33:08.000 Over the weekend, this is a story that was wildly undercovered.

00:33:10.000 How this is not leading national news, how President Trump's Twitter is leading national news, is both a referendum on President Trump's use of Twitter and on the media's coverage of various issues.

00:33:20.000 Because you know what's a little more important than whatever the president tweeted today?

00:33:24.000 The fact that a man attacked an ICE detention center over the weekend and then was fatally shot by the police.

00:33:29.000 According to the New York Times, the police fatally shot a man who was attacking an immigration detention center in Tacoma, Washington on Saturday morning, the authority said.

00:33:36.000 Imagine that a right winger had gone and attacked the IRS with a gun.

00:33:39.000 You think he might be leading the national news today as opposed to whatever Obama tweeted about it or Trump tweeted about it?

00:33:44.000 Instead, the man, who was armed with a rifle, was throwing unspecified incendiary devices at the Northwest Detention Center, according to a police statement.

00:33:53.000 The man was identified by officials on Saturday.

00:33:55.000 We don't say the names of people who commit these sorts of terrorist acts.

00:33:59.000 He was 69 years old.

00:34:00.000 He's Vashon Island, Washington.

00:34:02.000 That's where he's from.

00:34:03.000 He continued throwing lit objects at buildings and cars.

00:34:05.000 One car was fully engulfed in flames, according to Officer Loretta Kuhl, a spokeswoman for the Tacoma Police Department.

00:34:11.000 He attempted and failed to ignite a commercial-sized propane tank attached to the center, said Sean Fallow, the resident agent in charge of the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility.

00:34:20.000 He said this could have resulted in the mass murder of staff and detainees housed at the facilities.

00:34:25.000 These are the kinds of incidents that keep you up at night.

00:34:27.000 Officers arrived at 4 a.m.

00:34:29.000 and called out to this would-be shooter who's wearing a satchel and had flares.

00:34:34.000 The statement said shots were fired that resulted in his death, although Officer Kuhl could not say whether he had opened fire.

00:34:41.000 This would-be shooter was declared dead at the scene.

00:34:43.000 He died of multiple gunshot wounds.

00:34:45.000 Police have not established a motive for the attack, but according to his longtime friend, She said that he had intended to provoke a fatal conflict.

00:34:54.000 He did release apparently some sort of manifesto, and in the manifesto he suggested that ICE detention facilities were in fact concentration camps.

00:35:01.000 That is the language that he used.

00:35:02.000 It's fascinating to watch as the media, which have declared over and over again that if somebody in their manifesto Use his language that they can somehow connect to President Trump and it's President Trump's fault.

00:35:15.000 But if somebody says concentration camp and then goes and tries to shoot up an ice facility, then presumably the rhetoric is still not overcharged.

00:35:22.000 We'll still get defenses from the Washington Post of the rhetoric.

00:35:26.000 From particular Democratic Congress people who use exactly that kind of rhetoric.

00:35:29.000 We've seen the same thing, of course, during the congressional baseball shooting, which would still be a national story if Democrats had been the victims of it.

00:35:35.000 But it was Republicans who were attacked by a man who was basically quoting Bernie Sanders at the time.

00:35:39.000 So he didn't get any questions about how rhetoric leads to violence.

00:35:42.000 That only happens on one side of the aisle.

00:35:45.000 So that was one incident over the weekend.

00:35:47.000 That wasn't, by the way, the guy claimed apparently in his manifesto that he was a member of Antifa five seconds ago.

00:35:53.000 The media were defending Antifa.

00:35:55.000 Seattle, apparently in one of his Facebook, he put up a Facebook manifesto in which he said, quote, I am Antifa.

00:36:02.000 I stand with comrades around the world.

00:36:05.000 Seattle Antifa put up an actual statement about his death, saying when our good friend and comrade took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma, he became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism.

00:36:15.000 He was kind and deeply loved by many communities.

00:36:18.000 We cannot let his death go unanswered.

00:36:19.000 So apparently more violence coming from Seattle Antifa.

00:36:22.000 Throughout history, we idolize figures like John Brown for their courage to take the ultimate stand against oppression.

00:36:26.000 Today, we stand strong in our support for yet another martyr in the struggle against fascism.

00:36:30.000 May his death serve as a call to protest and direct action.

00:36:33.000 Direct action, of course, is a code for violence.

00:36:35.000 That was not the, by the way, another hundred people gathered today outside the That was not the only attack on an ICE facility over the weekend.

00:36:47.000 There was also a non-violent but trespass attack at an ICE detention facility in Aurora, Colorado over the weekend.

00:36:54.000 According to the Denver Post, more than 2,000 people had assembled outside the ICE detention facility in Aurora on Friday night to protest the Trump administration's planned immigration roundups when Claudia Castillo noticed a commotion.

00:37:05.000 A group of protesters had broken through a chain marked private property, no trespassing, headed for the front of the detention facility.

00:37:12.000 Castillo is a 22-year military intelligence officer in the U.S. Army.

00:37:16.000 Army and legal services coordinator for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition.

00:37:20.000 She pled with the group of 25 that initially pushed through.

00:37:24.000 Didn't matter.

00:37:24.000 They then pulled down an American flag from in front of the facility.

00:37:27.000 They put up a Mexican flag.

00:37:28.000 Nothing says, we believe in America and America's not living up to our standards.

00:37:32.000 Quite like pulling down an American flag and putting up a Mexican flag on American sovereign territory. 0.71

00:37:36.000 Some people tried to burn the American flag.

00:37:38.000 Others spray painted nasty words about police.

00:37:41.000 We have a little bit of the footage.

00:37:43.000 You can see them raising the Mexican flag as people cheer up top this ICE facility.

00:37:49.000 Nothing says that you believe in America quite like replacing the American flag with a Mexican flag. 0.97

00:37:54.000 Nothing says that you really are just looking for the best for America in your immigration policy quite like removing an American flag and putting a Mexican flag up top a flagpole at an ICE detention facility after breaking in.

00:38:06.000 So all of this All of this was the news cycle.

00:38:09.000 The news cycle was Democrats fighting each other.

00:38:11.000 It was an actual violent attack on an ICE facility by a person claiming that it was a concentration camp.

00:38:17.000 It was people who were breaking into an ICE facility to pull down the American flag, try to burn it, and put up a Mexican flag.

00:38:23.000 That was the news cycle over the weekend.

00:38:25.000 And that's when President Leroy Jenkins arrived.

00:38:27.000 So President Trump Decided yesterday, because apparently he was bored and he was watching TV, that he was going to tweet about things.

00:38:35.000 And what did he decide to tweet about?

00:38:36.000 He decided that he was going to tweet about the Democratic freshman Congresswomen.

00:38:39.000 Now, he was not specific.

00:38:41.000 If he had said that Ilhan Omar doesn't seem to have proper gratitude for the country that took her in, she seems to think this country was founded and steeped in racism and bigotry and homophobia and it's a terrible place to be.

00:38:52.000 If he had said basically what Tucker Carlson said last week, it would be controversial, but it wouldn't be what it is.

00:38:57.000 President Trump did something else.

00:38:59.000 He tweeted out about the quote-unquote progressive Democratic Congresswomen without naming names.

00:39:04.000 And then he suggested they should go back to their home countries.

00:39:06.000 There's only one problem with this.

00:39:08.000 Well, there are many, but there's one big problem with this.

00:39:10.000 Only one of the so-called progressive Democratic Congresswomen, to whom he is apparently referring, actually was born outside the United States.

00:39:16.000 I'm going to read you what President Trump had to say word for word.

00:39:19.000 And then we'll analyze what the defenders are saying, he said.

00:39:22.000 And then we'll talk about what people who are attacking him say that he said.

00:39:25.000 And then we'll talk about what he actually said.

00:39:27.000 So, because there are sort of three versions of this.

00:39:29.000 So here's what President Trump tweeted.

00:39:30.000 He tweeted, So interesting to see progressive Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt, and inept anywhere in the world, if they even have a functioning government at all, now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth, how now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came? 0.78

00:39:54.000 Then come back and show us how it is done.

00:39:57.000 Those places need your help badly, and you can't leave fast enough.

00:40:00.000 I'm sure Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements. 0.93

00:40:04.000 Okay, so...

00:40:06.000 The defense of President Trump goes something like this.

00:40:08.000 What President Trump is saying is he's not referring to AOC or Rashida Tlaib, who was in fact born in the United States, or Ayanna Pressley, who was born in the United States.

00:40:16.000 He's referring to Ilhan Omar.

00:40:18.000 And if he's referring to anyone else, he means that they should go back to their failing districts and then come back.

00:40:23.000 Except that he says they should go back to their home countries because they all come from bad countries. 0.98

00:40:28.000 And then they claim maybe he's just talking about Ilhan Omar, so why is he saying progressive Democratic congresswomen?

00:40:33.000 Or they refer to some of the other Democratic congressmen, Representative Jayapal, for example, who is sort of loosely associated with the squad, except that he's pretty clearly not talking about her because she hasn't been hit by Nancy Pelosi anywhere in here.

00:40:46.000 Here is, okay, so the defense of him on its own merits, that he is not talking in xenophobic terms about people, that fails.

00:40:53.000 Then there is the charge by folks on the left that this is blatantly racist.

00:40:56.000 Now, I'm not sure that it is racist.

00:40:59.000 I am sure that it is xenophobic because what he's actually, he's not saying that people who are brown are not from the United States.

00:41:05.000 He is not saying that all people who are brown and not looking like him are not from the United States.

00:41:09.000 He's not saying that all people who don't look like him and who have darker skin hue are inferior.

00:41:14.000 What he is doing is he is suggesting that a bunch of Congresswomen of color with whom he does not agree, he is assuming they are not from here, which is more a xenophobic point than a racist one, right?

00:41:23.000 He's basically saying, I don't like these women, therefore, they must be foreigners. 0.98

00:41:27.000 Therefore, they must not be from here.

00:41:30.000 Now, there may be a racial tinge to it.

00:41:33.000 I think it's sort of undeniable, considering that these are all women of color.

00:41:36.000 But it's more xenophobic than I think in the racist camp.

00:41:40.000 Xenophobic pretty clearly.

00:41:41.000 Now the Democrats, of course, jumped on this.

00:41:43.000 So there is the moral content of what he is saying.

00:41:46.000 If he had just said, again, Ilhan Omar, terrible congresswoman, awful ideas.

00:41:50.000 Ideas that actually are un-American in many ways.

00:41:52.000 I think that's true.

00:41:53.000 I think she says things that are un-American on a fairly regular basis.

00:41:56.000 By un-American, I mean she says that the United States is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad place. 0.98

00:42:00.000 The American society treats children like dogs, or worse than dogs. 0.96

00:42:04.000 I don't think that that is particularly American stuff to say. 0.95

00:42:07.000 I don't think that that means that she is, quote-unquote, a traitor.

00:42:09.000 I'm not going to accuse her of dual loyalty the same way she accuses everybody else of dual loyalty who disagrees with her.

00:42:16.000 I will say that I don't think that her rhetoric is particularly patriotic.

00:42:21.000 Can we put it that way?

00:42:22.000 I think that's fair.

00:42:23.000 If he attacks her that way, I think that's fine.

00:42:26.000 If he attacks her the way that Tucker Carlson attacked Ilhan Omar, saying that she's a product of a failed immigration system, and she came here with a series of beliefs about the United States that are not properly appreciative of the United States, I think there's an argument to be made.

00:42:39.000 It's dicier, but I don't think that that's racist or xenophobic in and of itself.

00:42:45.000 But that's not what Trump said.

00:42:46.000 Instead, he said progressive congresswomen, and he's referring to a bunch of people, including a bunch of people who were born here.

00:42:51.000 And so what he's basically saying is if you disagree with Nancy Pelosi and with me, and if you are radical, and if you are brown, then I'm going to assume that you came from somewhere else.

00:43:02.000 That's bad stuff, okay?

00:43:03.000 There's no way to slice that where that is not bad stuff, and it appears to be bad stuff. 1.00

00:43:07.000 And it's also politically idiotic. 1.00

00:43:10.000 Hey, there's no question it's politically idiotic. 1.00

00:43:12.000 Now listen, there'll be people who defend President Trump saying he's just attacking people who have bad ideas. 1.00

00:43:16.000 Again, I have no problem with him attacking AOC or Presley or Tlaib or Omar, all of whom I think are dumpster fires of Congress people. 0.99

00:43:23.000 I think they're all awful, garbage Congress people with awful, terrible ideas. 0.99

00:43:27.000 I think Ilhan Omar is one of the worst things to happen to American Congress in a decade. 1.00

00:43:31.000 I think that she is just awful.

00:43:32.000 She's the worst Congress person that I can remember since Cynthia McKinney. 1.00

00:43:36.000 She's terrible in every way. 0.99

00:43:37.000 She's toxic. 0.98

00:43:38.000 But, That attack is wrong, and it is wrong in a pretty obvious way. 0.99

00:43:44.000 It is also politically moronic, because the Democrats are busy attacking each other. 0.96

00:43:48.000 And President Trump shouts, LEROY JENKINS, and goes charging right into the middle of a firefight. 0.97

00:43:54.000 So the piranhas are eating each other, they're cannibalizing each other, and he's like, what if I just jumped in?

00:43:58.000 What if I just, you know, like, headlong, right in?

00:44:01.000 This, of course, Resulted in exactly what you would think it did.

00:44:04.000 It immediately, like that, unified the Democratic caucus back together again.

00:44:08.000 They put all of their arguments with one another behind them. 0.52

00:44:10.000 And Nancy Pelosi began tweeting about how the president was a racist.

00:44:13.000 Quote, when Donald Trump tells four American congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to make America great again has always been about making America white again.

00:44:22.000 Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power.

00:44:25.000 Well, you're not really unified, but now that Trump has said something, you can pretend to be.

00:44:29.000 I reject Donald Trump's xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation.

00:44:32.000 Rather than attack members of Congress, he should work with us for humane immigration policy that reflects American values.

00:44:37.000 Stop the raids.

00:44:38.000 Families belong together.

00:44:39.000 So again, President Trump immediately made the Democratic caucus more cohesive again. 1.00

00:44:46.000 Absolute stupidity on every possible level. 1.00

00:44:49.000 Now, I know people love his tweets. 1.00

00:44:50.000 That's fine.

00:44:50.000 You can love his tweets.

00:44:51.000 That doesn't mean that they are smart and politically calibrated.

00:44:54.000 They certainly were not.

00:44:55.000 It does not mean that the series of tweets was good.

00:44:57.000 It was not.

00:44:57.000 Now, I will also point out that the media do not cover this stuff in any way the same if it comes from the left or it comes from the right.

00:45:04.000 If it comes from the left, then the media cover the Democrat side.

00:45:07.000 So now it's, has every Republican come out and condemned Trump?

00:45:10.000 What do they have to say about Trump?

00:45:12.000 What did every Democrat have to say about Ilhan Omar?

00:45:14.000 What did every Democrat have to say about Rashida Tlaib? 0.72

00:45:17.000 Every Democrat not only went ahead with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, they feeded them, they patted them on the back, they gave them hugs.

00:45:23.000 They passed a resolution condemning all hate instead of anti-Semitism.

00:45:27.000 So I'm not going to take a moral lecture from people like Ilhan Omar and AOC about intolerance.

00:45:32.000 That's not a thing that's going to happen.

00:45:33.000 But it's not whataboutism at the same time.

00:45:35.000 If you're going to say, President Trump said something wrong, why can't you guys condemn your own people when they say something wrong?

00:45:41.000 The Democrats never condemn anyone.

00:45:42.000 I certainly understand the frustration of folks on the right going, why do you think I'm going to come out and say anything when you guys won't say anything?

00:45:49.000 I mean, the answer is you say something when something is wrong, and you shouldn't be making that decision based on what the Democrats have to say about their own people.

00:45:55.000 That's why you are not a Democrat, presumably.

00:45:57.000 But, at the same time, there is certainly a double standard in how this sort of stuff gets covered.

00:46:01.000 Trump says something that is bad, everyone is all over him.

00:46:04.000 I think half properly so?

00:46:06.000 Not totally properly, half properly so?

00:46:08.000 When Democrats say stuff that is wrong, we get a bunch of think pieces about how Democrats aren't actually wrong.

00:46:14.000 Okay, time for some things I like and then some things that I hate.

00:46:16.000 So, things that I like.

00:46:18.000 So, I don't know if you had a chance to watch at all yesterday's Wimbledon final.

00:46:23.000 I was heartbroken for Roger Federer.

00:46:26.000 Roger Federer is, in my opinion, and the opinion of most tennis observers, the greatest men's tennis player of all time.

00:46:31.000 He had 20 majors.

00:46:33.000 He should have won the match yesterday.

00:46:34.000 Frankly, he choked.

00:46:35.000 I mean, it's hard to say that about a guy who you really like, but there's very little doubt he choked.

00:46:39.000 He had a match point twice against Djokovic.

00:46:44.000 Djokovic is incredibly versatile.

00:46:46.000 He's incredibly durable, and he's really tough-minded.

00:46:49.000 So Djokovic is, at this point in his career, better than Federer.

00:46:52.000 I mean, Federer's on the downslope of his career.

00:46:54.000 He's nearly 38 years old.

00:46:55.000 Djokovic is still only 32.

00:46:56.000 He's got 16 majors, but the match itself went for five hours, and it was just incredible quality tennis.

00:47:03.000 If Federer had had a little bit more, he pulls out this match.

00:47:05.000 He really won the match pretty thoroughly.

00:47:07.000 He just lost in the numbers.

00:47:09.000 So, like Hillary Clinton, it doesn't matter.

00:47:11.000 This thing gets decided by the final score.

00:47:13.000 It doesn't get decided by the quality of play.

00:47:15.000 Here's a little bit of the match.

00:47:16.000 I mean, you can see it.

00:47:17.000 It's really first rate.

00:47:20.000 Yeah, you can just, I mean, these guys are, they're both so good.

00:47:24.000 This is high-level, quality competition, and Federer is just terrific.

00:47:29.000 When he was in his prime, he was the best player who ever lived.

00:47:31.000 I mean, from 2003 to 2007, dude was basically unbeatable.

00:47:35.000 Djokovic, in the end, because he's only 32, it's possible that he ends up winning more majors than Federer, but he's catching Federer on the downslope.

00:47:44.000 Okay, time for some things that I hate. 0.97

00:47:50.000 So let's talk about something a little bit lighter, but also similarly stupid, and that is the movies. 0.95

00:47:55.000 So, Scarlett Johansson is now being ripped up and down because she has suggested she should be able to play various characters. 0.83

00:48:04.000 One of the things the left has done is they've basically decided that you can only play a character if you look like that character unless the character was historically a white character, in which case we can make that character whatever we want the character to be.

00:48:14.000 So in other words, if there was a character who was black in the movies and you make that character white, that's a problem.

00:48:18.000 If there's a character now who is transgender and that character who is transgender is played by a non-transgender person, That's bad. 0.97

00:48:25.000 But if there was a character who was historically white, and then we make that character non-white, then that is a good thing. 0.99

00:48:31.000 That is inherently good.

00:48:32.000 Now, frankly, I don't care about too much of this in any case.

00:48:36.000 I'll explain why I think that that is not true in the case of James Bond.

00:48:39.000 Not as far as color, but as far as sex.

00:48:41.000 I'll explain that in just a second, but Scarlett Johansson got caught up in all of this. 1.00

00:48:45.000 So she said in a statement to Variety that she there's an interview that was recently published.

00:48:49.000 She said it was edited for clickbait and was widely taken out of context.

00:48:52.000 She said the question I was answering in my conversation with the contemporary artist David Sally was about the confrontation between political correctness and art.

00:48:59.000 She said, I personally feel that in an ideal world, any actor should be able to play anybody and art in all forms should be immune to political correctness.

00:49:06.000 That is the point I was making, albeit it didn't come across that way.

00:49:09.000 She then went on to clear up some of the points made during the original interview, noting that not every actor gets the same opportunities as their Caucasian cisgendered counterparts.

00:49:17.000 She said, I recognize that in reality there is a widespread discrepancy amongst my industry that favors Caucasian cisgendered actors and that not every actor has been given the same opportunities that I have been privileged to.

00:49:27.000 I continue to support and always have diversity in every industry and will continue to fight for projects where everyone is included.

00:49:34.000 Johansson had come under fire for her response to a question about political correctness because she'd been cast to play a transgender woman named Dante Tex Gill in an upcoming film. 0.94

00:49:43.000 The film was cancelled after people started protesting that she wasn't trans enough because it turns out that Scarlett Johansson is a beautiful, a beautiful woman. 0.62

00:49:53.000 And like, an actual biological woman.

00:49:55.000 So this was a weird controversy over the weekend in which we were apparently supposed to figure out, we were supposed to suggest, I guess, that something deeply wrong had happened with regard to Scarlett Johansson saying that you should be able to play a variety of parts.

00:50:12.000 Okay, so with that said, there is this new standard on the woke left.

00:50:16.000 And again, the standard is that Scarlett Johansson cannot play a transgender woman, but you can recast James Bond as a black woman. 0.58

00:50:24.000 Now, Now, again, I think this story is being miscovered.

00:50:26.000 I don't think that the Bond series has any intention of making James Bond into a black woman.

00:50:31.000 I don't think that's what's happening here.

00:50:33.000 But, there is news that is obviously designed to elicit clicks, and that is that 007 is going to be played by Lashana Lynch in the next movie.

00:50:42.000 Now, 007 is a codename.

00:50:44.000 Right, so you could be, there have been other movies in fact where 007 is temporarily taken, somebody temporarily takes the place of 007 and then James Bond becomes 007 again.

00:50:54.000 Right, that has happened in the movies before.

00:50:57.000 But the left was going nuts over this.

00:50:59.000 They were so excited about the possibility that an iconic character like James Bond would suddenly become black and female.

00:51:05.000 Now, I don't care at all about the race of James Bond.

00:51:07.000 In fact, I don't think it's particularly relevant to the part of James Bond.

00:51:10.000 In fact, I was kind of stumping for Idris Elba to become James Bond, because I think he's a terrific actor.

00:51:14.000 I love him in everything I've ever seen him in.

00:51:16.000 And he was kind of stumping for it, too.

00:51:18.000 I think you'd make an excellent James Bond.

00:51:20.000 I don't think that color has anything to do with the part.

00:51:22.000 There are certain parts where color has something to do with it, right?

00:51:24.000 If you're watching Mississippi Burning and Gene Hackman's character is black, it makes no sense because color is obviously part of the movie.

00:51:29.000 If you're watching Black Panther and everybody's white, that doesn't make any sense because color is obviously a part of the movie.

00:51:36.000 And there are certain parts where color is a part of the movie.

00:51:38.000 That is not really true of James Bond.

00:51:40.000 Maybe it was truer back in like the 19- if you're setting it in the 1950s or 60s when race is more of an endemic quality to the social system.

00:51:49.000 But it's not true today, right?

00:51:51.000 You can have a black action hero.

00:51:52.000 Denzel's been doing it for 30 years, 40 years.

00:51:55.000 There's nothing new about that.

00:51:56.000 So having a black guy play James Bond, I think makes perfect sense on an artistic level. 0.99

00:52:01.000 It makes perfect sense on a narrative level.

00:52:02.000 What makes no sense on an artistic or narrative level is having James Bond played by a woman.

00:52:07.000 Makes no sense at all.

00:52:08.000 Because as it turns out, The natural differences between black folks and white folks are basically restricted by most good data, are basically restricted to the color of your skin, right?

00:52:19.000 I mean, that's what separates a black person from a white person. 0.62

00:52:21.000 All the other standards are somewhat malleable and move around, because who is black and who is white, even that is a standard that is somewhat malleable.

00:52:27.000 That is not true for male and female. 0.71

00:52:28.000 There are very, very significant differences between male and female.

00:52:31.000 And that is particularly true in two specific areas in which James Bond actually has to be a man.

00:52:38.000 One, in terms of physical prowess, And two, in terms of sex.

00:52:42.000 James Bond is about two things. 0.80

00:52:44.000 Blowing things up and sex. 0.96

00:52:45.000 That's all James Bond is about.

00:52:47.000 James Bond is a 17-year-old boy's fantasy, and there are a lot of 50-year-old 17-year-old boys.

00:52:53.000 That is the James Bond crowd.

00:52:54.000 That has always been the crowd.

00:52:55.000 That's why Bond girls were always seductive maidens, and James Bond's special skill was at getting them into bed. 0.89

00:53:01.000 Now the left is celebrating because they think, The Daily Beast has an entire piece called Lashana Lynch, a black woman, is taking over as 007. 0.99

00:53:09.000 It's about damn time. 0.97

00:53:10.000 Really, why can't you just create a new character who's a black woman and also an action hero? 0.98

00:53:16.000 I mean, that seems plausible, does it not?

00:53:18.000 Is there a reason why you have to take a traditionally heterosexual hero like James Bond, a heterosexual man, a virulently heterosexual man, and then turn him into a woman?

00:53:29.000 Does that make any sense at all?

00:53:31.000 The Daily Beast says, In news that will surely come as a shock to James Bond fans and the film industry at large, it was revealed today that longtime 007 Daniel Craig will pass the Walther PPK to black British actress Lashana Lynch in the iconic role.

00:53:44.000 For years, there's been intense speculation about who would take over the reins of one of the most durable and profitable film franchises in history once Craig stepped aside.

00:53:51.000 Much of that speculation has revolved around whether the series might make a nod toward diversity and cast a person of color or a woman for the first time.

00:53:58.000 But if the report from the UK tabloid, The Daily Mail, is to be believed, the 007 producers are going for a radical twofer, casting a 31-year-old black female newcomer as Bond's apparent heir.

00:54:09.000 Well, no.

00:54:11.000 That is not actually what's going to happen.

00:54:14.000 Okay, it is very unclear that this is going to be the permanent replacement for James Bond.

00:54:21.000 In all likelihood, this actress is going to walk in, play 007 for five minutes, and then be elevated to the M position, perhaps, or to a higher level position where she is Bond's boss, for example. 0.92

00:54:35.000 But the eagerness with which the left is greeting this demonstrates they don't care very much about art, and they care a lot about political correctness, particularly when it comes to art.

00:54:43.000 So here is the problem.

00:54:44.000 They made a movie with female James Bond.

00:54:47.000 It was called Atomic Blonde and it starred Charlize Theron.

00:54:51.000 And the movie is pretty good.

00:54:52.000 It's a pretty good movie.

00:54:54.000 There's only one problem.

00:54:55.000 The movie makes no sense on any level because Charlize Theron is basically a male character Who is a female.

00:55:03.000 In other words, she beds beautiful women, and she is incredible in terms of physical conflict, and all this, and there's no reason, there's nothing about her character that says, okay, she has to be a woman. 0.98

00:55:13.000 If you replaced her with a man, then the movie would basically be exactly the same.

00:55:17.000 And that doesn't make a lot of sense in terms of sexual dynamics.

00:55:21.000 The reason it doesn't make a lot of sense is because a lesbian relationship is not the same as a heterosexual relationship.

00:55:26.000 Men are different than women. 1.00

00:55:27.000 That's not a judgment of quality.

00:55:29.000 That is a judgment of fact.

00:55:32.000 I'm not saying better or worse, even.

00:55:33.000 I'm just saying that it is different.

00:55:35.000 Any lesbian will tell you the same, I would assume. 1.00

00:55:37.000 Men and women are different.

00:55:39.000 And this is particularly true with Bond.

00:55:40.000 So, to take a perfectly obvious example, number one, there's this movie trope that a 130-pound, soaking wet woman can knock over a 200-pound man who is physically trained. 0.83

00:55:49.000 That's absurd.

00:55:50.000 It's absurd in the extreme.

00:55:51.000 One of the things about the Bond series is that Daniel Craig is ripped beyond belief, and he can beat the crap out of anyone, and so at least that part of the movie is plausible.

00:55:59.000 If you're talking about somebody who's a bowling ball of a human going into other people and breaking them up, that makes a lot more sense.

00:56:04.000 There's less suspension of disbelief along those lines if it turns out that the hero is actually physically large.

00:56:10.000 And that is one aspect of James Bond.

00:56:12.000 And then there's the other aspect, right?

00:56:14.000 Because Bond is about the guns and the girls.

00:56:16.000 When it comes to the seduction of women, There is a very, very large difference between a woman and a man. 0.77

00:56:23.000 I'm not even going to get into the lesbian aspect of this because I don't know if this character is going to be a lesbian. 0.96

00:56:28.000 Let's assume that she's not for a second.

00:56:29.000 Let's assume that she is just black female James Bond, which means that she's betting the most handsome men. 0.98

00:56:35.000 That is not in any way a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the men who typically watch the Bond films, because a disproportionate share of the Bond audience is male.

00:56:43.000 So unless you're completely shifting the character, it makes no sense.

00:56:45.000 It also, on a narrative level, makes no sense at all.

00:56:48.000 Because the challenge for James Bond to be completely Sexist about this.

00:56:54.000 Okay, the challenge for James Bond is conquest, right?

00:56:56.000 That's obviously been part of the trope of the series is this conquest driven mentality by James Bond.

00:57:01.000 Now they're trying to make it as though he has to be in a relationship every movie because they're trying to make it as though he is not an abuser of women.

00:57:07.000 Understood.

00:57:07.000 Okay, but...

00:57:09.000 That was always the appeal of Bond, is in every movie he was going to somehow seduce the most beautiful woman in the movie into bed with him.

00:57:14.000 And this is what made him an idol to millions of men, who of course would like to seduce beautiful women, but are incapable of doing so.

00:57:20.000 Because there's an actual challenge to it.

00:57:21.000 Now, let's say that there's a beautiful woman who is playing James Bond, like Lashana Lynch, let's say.

00:57:27.000 And now she wants to seduce the most handsome man.

00:57:30.000 Is that in any way difficult?

00:57:33.000 Because men and women are different. 0.98

00:57:35.000 To quote the great intellectual icon of our time, Amy Schumer, Amy Schumer correctly said that she can walk into a bar and catch a D anytime she wants. 0.97

00:57:45.000 That is her comedic line. 1.00

00:57:48.000 That is true.

00:57:50.000 Men, okay, there's a difference between men and women when it comes to sexual conquest. 1.00

00:57:55.000 Men only need a time and a place. 0.99

00:57:56.000 Women need a reason. 1.00

00:57:59.000 And to pretend that men and women are exactly the same defeats part of the narrative natural structure of the Bond films.

00:58:04.000 But again, we're supposed to ignore all of that because it is very important that we be woke.

00:58:08.000 And wokeness assumes that men and women are exactly the same in all of these aspects.

00:58:12.000 Which is, again, silliness.

00:58:13.000 One of my favorite sociological studies ever done.

00:58:16.000 It's been replicated several times.

00:58:18.000 There's a study where professors took an attractive woman, a college-aged woman, and they had her walk through a bar in a college town and proposition 100 men, saying, would you like to come home with me tonight?

00:58:32.000 Over 70% of the men said yes.

00:58:34.000 Men, they replicated the experiment, except they had an attractive man walk through a bar asking women, would you like to come home with me tonight?

00:58:41.000 0% said yes.

00:58:44.000 Zero.

00:58:44.000 These differences between men and women, it's one of the things that makes life beautiful.

00:58:50.000 It was created by evolution or God or both, depending on your perspective on this.

00:58:55.000 It is not evolutionarily beneficial for women to be as sexually aggressive about partnership as with men because women, historically and evolutionarily speaking, had a chance of getting pregnant.

00:59:03.000 They wanted to be more selective about the genetic material that might provide a child.

00:59:07.000 Men, however, have a different and contrary evolutionary expectation, which is to reproduce with as many people as humanly possible. 0.97

00:59:13.000 To pretend all of this crap doesn't exist as the backdrop to something like Bond is just silly. 0.98

00:59:19.000 And the fact that the left is celebrating all of this is even sillier. 1.00

00:59:23.000 Art takes a backseat to political correctness and you end up with absolute stupidity of the highest order. 1.00

00:59:29.000 Okay, final thing that I hate today. 1.00

00:59:32.000 So, Netroots, as I've said, is an agglomeration of crazy.

00:59:36.000 And Liz Winstead is a comedy writer for Comedy Central.

00:59:42.000 And she did a panel on abortion, during which one of the participants demonstrated how to do an abortion on a watermelon.

00:59:52.000 She's the co-creator of The Daily Show.

00:59:54.000 And a delight, and a delight.

00:59:55.000 Here she is showing how to do an abortion on a watermelon. 0.99

00:59:58.000 This is what you do over at Netroots. - So this would go through the cervix and into the uterus.

01:00:03.000 And then we create section to remove pregnancy tissue. 0.98

01:00:08.000 And this doesn't work as well as it would with a papaya, but this is what we would use for about an eight-week pregnancy, so for about two months, and you get a wee little watermelon penis. 1.00

01:00:19.000 And that's literally double-sheeting.

01:00:23.000 And this is why we fight to make sure that advanced practice clinicians can provide early abortion care, because it is not surgery.

01:00:29.000 It is basic healthcare.

01:00:31.000 It is easy to do.

01:00:32.000 It is safe.

01:00:33.000 It's basic healthcare.

01:00:34.000 It's easy to do and safe and wonderful.

01:00:36.000 Watch as we abort this watermelon.

01:00:38.000 How nice.

01:00:38.000 What delights they are over at Netroots.

01:00:40.000 Can't imagine why people think they're radical.

01:00:42.000 Really solid stuff.

01:00:43.000 Alrighty.

01:00:43.000 We'll be back here later today for two additional hours of content or we'll see you here tomorrow.
