The Ben Shapiro Show - The Media Exposes Itself | Ep. 354

00:00:00.000 We have tons to get to today.

00:00:01.000 We're going to be talking about President Trump's new proposal on legal immigration.

00:00:05.000 We're going to be talking about the media blowback. 0.98

00:00:06.000 CNN's Jim Acosta makes a total ass of himself. 0.95

00:00:08.000 I was on Joe Rogan's show yesterday. 0.98

00:00:10.000 Just tons to get to.

00:00:11.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:12.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:19.000 So before I get to any of that, plus, we have this amazing graphic that apparently, I have not seen it yet, but I've been told by staff it's incredible.

00:00:25.000 The Mortal Kombat version of the Trump White House, like the 1990s video game.

00:00:30.000 So we'll get to that in just a second, but before we do any of that, I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Indochino.

00:00:36.000 So Indochino is the best way to look good. 0.98

00:00:38.000 There's nothing better than a well-tailored suit.

00:00:40.000 And we're not talking off the rack.

00:00:42.000 We're talking about made from scratch to fit you.

00:00:44.000 That's what Indochino does. 0.85

00:00:45.000 They're making it easy to get a perfectly tailored suit at an incredible price.

00:00:49.000 My favorite suit, one I own, kind of a light blue suit.

00:00:51.000 It's from Indochino.

00:00:53.000 It's terrific.

00:00:54.000 Three-piece suit, vest.

00:00:55.000 I look just like a million bucks.

00:00:56.000 It's incredible.

00:00:57.000 And it didn't cost me tons of money.

00:00:59.000 You go over to Indochino.com.

00:01:01.000 We're good to go!

00:01:20.000 With the tailoring, and you can also go into their shops, like they have one in Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Boulevard.

00:01:26.000 Went in there, the staff is terrific and friendly.

00:01:28.000 They do a wonderful job of making you a made-to-order suit.

00:01:31.000 This week, my listeners can get any premium Indochino suit for just $379 at Indochino.com when you enter promo code SHAPIRO at checkout.

00:01:39.000 Indochino.com, use promo code SHAPIRO at checkout.

00:01:42.000 That's 50% off the regular price for a made-to-measure premium suit.

00:01:45.000 Again, these are much nicer suits than anything you're going to be getting off the rack anywhere.

00:01:48.000 Indochino.com promo code Shapiro for any premium suit just 379 bucks plus free shipping and use that promo code Shapiro also not just so you get to this camp, but they know that we sent you okay, so

00:02:00.000 I really want to see this Moral Combat at the White House, just because I've heard so much about this.

00:02:04.000 So, instead of us waiting until Things I Like, we're just going to do it now, because I don't know whether I like it or not.

00:02:08.000 So, apparently, I had asked if they would do a Moral Combat mashup of staffing decisions over at the White House.

00:02:14.000 So, it is Scaramucci, Anthony Scaramucci, versus Reince Priebus, followed by General John Kelly, the new Chief of Staff, versus Anthony Scaramucci.

00:02:23.000 Let's see what you guys came up with.

00:02:34.000 Oh no!

00:02:35.000 That was pretty spectacular guys!

00:02:57.000 Oh, well done by the graphics team over at The Daily Wire for that.

00:03:00.000 So on that uplifting note, let's jump into something that is good that President Trump did.

00:03:04.000 So, you know what?

00:03:06.000 Do we have good Trump, bad Trump on hand?

00:03:08.000 Because there's a lot of good Trump, and when there's a lot of good Trump, I like to play good Trump, bad Trump.

00:03:12.000 Do we have it available?

00:03:14.000 Okay, we'll grab that in just a second, but suffice it to say,

00:03:26.000 So the production team is both on top of it and not on top of it today, but there's a lot of good Trump today.

00:03:30.000 So the good Trump begins with President Trump introducing what he's calling the RAISE Act.

00:03:35.000 First of all, I'm very irritated with the general notion that every bill has to be some sort of acronym.

00:03:40.000 So you come up with these insanely long names for a bill just so that it is called

00:03:44.000 The RAISE Act, as opposed to just being, like, the Immigration Act.

00:03:48.000 So it's the RAISE Act.

00:03:49.000 But in any case, what the RAISE Act does is actually really good.

00:03:51.000 Now I want to talk about the content.

00:03:52.000 Here was Trump introducing it yesterday.

00:03:54.000 He's standing next to Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Louisiana.

00:03:58.000 The RAISE Act is designed at limiting legal immigration, not illegal immigration.

00:04:01.000 That's what the non-existent wall will be built for, we hope.

00:04:04.000 That is why you have seen an increase in actual enforcement.

00:04:08.000 But, crackdowns on legal immigration.

00:04:10.000 And I will explain my view on when legal immigration should be increased, when it should be decreased in just a second, but here's Trump introducing this bill yesterday.

00:04:19.000 The RAISE Act.

00:04:21.000 R-A-I-S-E. 1.00

00:04:24.000 The RAISE Act will reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars.

00:04:32.000 It will do this by changing the way the United States issues green cards to nationals from other countries.

00:04:40.000 The RAISE Act ends chain migration and replaces our low-skilled system with a new points-based system for receiving a green card.

00:04:50.000 This competitive application process will favor applicants who can speak English, financially support themselves and their families, and demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy.

00:05:06.000 The RAISE Act prevents new migrants and new immigrants from collecting welfare and protects U.S. 0.97

00:05:12.000 workers from being displaced.

00:05:15.000 Crucially, the Green Card Reforms and the RAISE Act will give American workers a pay raise by reducing unskilled immigration. 0.71

00:05:24.000 This legislation will not only restore our competitive edge in the 21st century, but it will restore the sacred bonds of trust between America and its citizens.

00:05:34.000 Okay, so overall, the proposals that he's proposing here are just...

00:05:38.000 They're really good.

00:05:39.000 They're really good.

00:05:39.000 Okay, so what the RAISE Act does, and a lot of it is really good, is it limits legal immigration, and it does it based on a points-based system.

00:05:46.000 So right now we have a visa lottery, which is just idiotic. 0.95

00:05:49.000 Why should it be a lottery to get into the country? 0.99

00:05:51.000 We are the greatest country on the face of the planet in human history.

00:05:54.000 We should be able to choose who comes in and who does not.

00:05:57.000 We should only bring in people who are beneficial to the country at large.

00:05:59.000 People who can help the economy, people who are going to assimilate, 1.00

00:06:02.000 People who are going to integrate, people who are going to better the stock of the United States.

00:06:06.000 I don't mean racial stock, but I mean the intellectual and moral and social stock of the United States.

00:06:13.000 You know, all of these things, this is not a very difficult call, right?

00:06:17.000 I mean, if you were to start a community, you'd want to be pretty selective about who is allowed to enter the community.

00:06:21.000 If you go to a church or a synagogue, you want to be selective about who's allowed in your community because you don't want it being overrun with people who don't agree.

00:06:28.000 This is why we have social clubs.

00:06:29.000 The United States is a country that is founded on an idea.

00:06:33.000 If you bring in hundreds of millions of people who don't believe that idea, you've got a problem.

00:06:36.000 And this has been the problem with the way that America has approached immigration since the 1960s.

00:06:40.000 So until the 1960s, the vast bulk of immigrants coming to the United States were coming from Western Europe.

00:06:45.000 Uh, and some from Eastern Europe.

00:06:46.000 And the reason that that was better than what came afterward is because one of the criteria to get in is that number one, you weren't going to take welfare and number two, you spoke English or you were willing to integrate, you were willing to assimilate quickly into an English speaking language.

00:07:01.000 And in 1967 they decided no longer would they privilege people who had educations, who had degrees, who had economic backgrounds, who spoke English, who had a history in Western civilization.

00:07:11.000 Now we're just going to take in basically anyone who applied first come first serve.

00:07:15.000 What that did is it changed the kinds of people who are coming over into the United States.

00:07:19.000 Not because they're bad people, but because when you change the countries from which you draw, you change the cultures from which you draw.

00:07:25.000 When you change the system,

00:07:26.000 I don't know.

00:07:43.000 Disneyland, the prices are much higher.

00:07:44.000 Very, very different crowd goes to Disneyland than goes to Magic Mountain.

00:07:47.000 So, none of this is really, or should be controversial.

00:07:51.000 Trump points out that more than 50% of all immigrant households receive welfare benefits compared to only 30% of native households in the United States who receive welfare benefits, which is obviously true. 1.00

00:08:00.000 He's also pointed out crime that is connected with immigration, both legal and illegal.

00:08:05.000 People point out that there is not a tremendous crime wave coming from immigrants, but the question is not whether there's a wave like above and beyond what happens in America.

00:08:13.000 The question is whether the people who are being brought in are more likely to behave like people at the lower end of the socioeconomic status in the United States in terms of crime, or whether they're more likely to behave like the people at the higher end of the socioeconomic status in the United States with regard to crime.

00:08:27.000 My father-in-law came to the United States as an engineer from Israel, right?

00:08:30.000 He already spoke English.

00:08:31.000 He came here.

00:08:32.000 Was he likely to commit a crime or was he more likely to commit a crime if he was a person who was coming in from El Salvador with no marketable skills and was coming in in poverty and trying to provide for his family?

00:08:43.000 Which one is more likely to integrate?

00:08:45.000 Which one is more likely to provide benefit to the United States economy?

00:08:49.000 So all of this is good stuff.

00:08:51.000 The other stuff that this does, it rewards education, English language ability, high-paying job offers, past achievements, and entrepreneurial initiative.

00:08:58.000 Great!

00:08:59.000 It will reduce immigration among low-skilled and unskilled labor.

00:09:02.000 The idea here is twofold.

00:09:04.000 One of these ideas is good and one of these ideas is bad.

00:09:06.000 So the good idea about decreasing immigration among low-skilled and unskilled labor is that you're bringing in a group of people who are more likely to end up on welfare.

00:09:13.000 So if you have a lot of people who are likely to end up on welfare, then it is not worthwhile to have them come into the United States. 1.00

00:09:19.000 The part of this that is stupid is the suggestion that you're undercutting the labor market by bringing in immigrants. 0.95

00:09:26.000 That wages go down and jobs are lost. 0.98

00:09:29.000 Okay, so wages probably will go down when you have more supply of labor.

00:09:33.000 Obviously the wages go down, right?

00:09:34.000 I mean, demand is now exceeded by supply, the wages go down.

00:09:37.000 But here's the problem.

00:09:39.000 There are two arguments, and you can't make them both simultaneously, but Trump does.

00:09:42.000 Argument number one, China and Mexico are taking all the jobs. 0.99

00:09:46.000 Argument number two, we have to increase the wages.

00:09:49.000 You can't really say both those things, right?

00:09:51.000 If you believe that American companies are offshoring and outsourcing because wages in the United States are too high, you can't deliberately drive up the wages in the United States and then be surprised when companies outsource.

00:10:01.000 The argument for limiting immigration in order to drive up wages by limiting the labor supply is exactly the same as the argument for minimum wage, which I assume Trump opposes.

00:10:09.000 Right, the fact is, minimum wage artificially drives up the price you have to pay for labor.

00:10:13.000 This forces businesses to raise their prices.

00:10:15.000 This forces them to be non-competitive, and that forces them to outsource.

00:10:19.000 It forces them to go to other countries for labor, or to fire people.

00:10:22.000 Okay, the same thing is true if you artificially drive up the price of labor by keeping prospective workers from coming into the United States.

00:10:28.000 You're not going to boost the economy by preventing workers from coming into the United States.

00:10:31.000 There are only two reasons to limit immigration into the United States.

00:10:34.000 I'm very libertarian when it comes to this.

00:10:35.000 There are only two reasons, okay?

00:10:37.000 One is safety, and the other is culture.

00:10:39.000 And that's it.

00:10:41.000 Safety, culture, welfare.

00:10:42.000 Really, those three.

00:10:43.000 So if they're on welfare, no.

00:10:45.000 If they are not going to assimilate to the culture of the United States, no.

00:10:48.000 And if they are a threat to safety, no.

00:10:50.000 Otherwise, I have no problem with anybody coming in who wants to work hard, not be on welfare, and compete for jobs.

00:10:55.000 And that's my really only problem with the way that Trump is expressing this.

00:10:59.000 It's sort of pandering to an economic falsehood.

00:11:02.000 The content of the bill itself is just fine.

00:11:04.000 The content of the bill I'm totally fine with.

00:11:05.000 And I want to explain a little more about what's in the bill, and then I want to show you an exchange that really was making the rounds yesterday, as well it should, because it demonstrates why people like me, people like you, probably, dislike the media so much.

00:11:19.000 But before I get to that, I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Upside.com.

00:11:22.000 So I've been telling you

00:11:23.000 For a while.

00:11:24.000 That if you travel for business, you need to stop wasting time pricing your flights and hotels at the same old sites you used to go to.

00:11:30.000 The only site you now need is Upside.com.

00:11:32.000 That's the one we here use at The Daily Wire.

00:11:34.000 It is quick and easy for Upside.com to show you the exact flights you're looking for and the big-name hotels you want to stay at.

00:11:39.000 You can either buy them separately or bundle them.

00:11:41.000 When you bundle them, you save a lot of money.

00:11:43.000 And when you save a lot of money, you also get a big gift card from Amazon.com every time you buy a business travel package using Upside.

00:11:51.000 So you buy a bundled package and not only are you getting a more inexpensive package which accrues to the manufacturer company, you personally

00:11:57.000 Get the Amazon gift card, which is awesome.

00:11:59.000 When you go over to Upside.com Plus, they're much more user-friendly than all these other websites.

00:12:03.000 They have expert navigators always available 24-7, so their customer service is great, which is what you need when you're traveling.

00:12:09.000 I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've been trying to book a flight, and you really need somebody on the other end of the phone to help you through this, especially when you're talking short notice.

00:12:17.000 They have concierge level of service, and it is second to none.

00:12:20.000 You get the VIP treatment while paying low prices and getting that Amazon.com gift card every time you book a package.

00:12:25.000 Right now, when you use promo code Ben,

00:12:27.000 You're guaranteed to get at least a $100 Amazon.com gift card on your package purchase.

00:12:32.000 Again, that is code Ben.

00:12:34.000 When you go to Upside.com, get that $100 gift card for free.

00:12:37.000 Upside.com, minimum purchase required.

00:12:39.000 Seaside for complete details.

00:12:40.000 Again, go to Upside.com, use that promo code Ben.

00:12:42.000 The promo code Ben will also let them know that we sent you.

00:12:46.000 Okay, so...

00:12:48.000 The bill itself would limit refugee status to 50,000 people a year. 1.00

00:12:51.000 It would kill that diversity visa lottery program, which, as I said, is stupid. 1.00

00:12:54.000 You shouldn't have a lottery for diversity. 1.00

00:12:55.000 That's dumb. 0.98

00:12:56.000 It would prioritize immediate family members of people who immigrate. 0.98

00:12:59.000 So, my father-in-law comes in, now he can bring his wife and children, but it doesn't allow him to bring in his entire extended family from Morocco, right?

00:13:06.000 That's just not a thing.

00:13:07.000 This is what Trump was talking about when he talks about chain migration.

00:13:10.000 This idea that one person sets roots and then now you get a thousand people who are the extended relatives coming in because that one person settled down.

00:13:18.000 We should be able to pick and choose who we bring into the country. 1.00

00:13:20.000 It seems fair that we would bring in immediate family members so people who are of benefit to the country can have their immediate family around them, but I'm not sure why Cousin Bobbo should be allowed into the country just because I was allowed into the country and I'm of benefit to the United States.

00:13:33.000 So all of this is really good stuff.

00:13:36.000 I mean like like

00:13:37.000 Top-notch stuff.

00:13:39.000 The biggest problem is that this is not going to pass, right?

00:13:40.000 So, Dianne Feinstein, Democrat from California, she was saying this is not going to pass.

00:13:44.000 In all likelihood, it's going to be very difficult to get people like John McCain on board.

00:13:48.000 And here's Dianne Feinstein, you know, suggesting as much.

00:13:52.000 So, it's a program that I hope, candidly, won't see the light of day.

00:13:58.000 I don't know whether it will or not, but I think in the Judiciary Committee, it's not going to be very welcomed.

00:14:05.000 The White House and Stephen Miller and the President, they kept referring to what they called a fact that this new policy, this new immigration policy, would help African-Americans and Hispanic workers who are here in the United States.

00:14:20.000 Do you accept that?

00:14:21.000 Well, I can't.

00:14:23.000 I don't see how, candidly.

00:14:25.000 I don't see how, when you cut back on all of these categories, which make America, help America to be what the Statue of Liberty says.

00:14:37.000 And we do it within reason.

00:14:39.000 And there have been cutbacks.

00:14:42.000 And there are long lines.

00:14:44.000 And it is difficult to come to this conclusion.

00:14:47.000 Here's why Trump is really doing it.

00:14:48.000 Not because he thinks that this is going to pass, but because it's a good political move.

00:14:51.000 Exactly the stuff he's talking about with immigration that I dislike is the stuff that a lot of voters like.

00:14:55.000 They want to be told that the reason they're losing their jobs is because of these people coming across the border legally on low-wage visas who are taking their jobs.

00:15:04.000 And the truth is that there is some of that going on.

00:15:07.000 Like, to pretend that in the short term there is not a job substitution that happens when low-wage immigrants come into the United States, 1.00

00:15:12.000 Would be foolish. 0.64

00:15:13.000 Of course there's a substitution that happens. 0.86

00:15:15.000 What I'm saying is in the medium to long term, you end up with a net loss of jobs as businesses close their doors.

00:15:19.000 In the same way that a union will break a company and the company will end up moving out of state or out of country, limiting the labor supply inevitably means a higher cost to the company.

00:15:29.000 So in the mid to long term, it's bad economics.

00:15:31.000 But for those people who are living in Ohio or Michigan and they're afraid that bringing in low-wage labor is going to undercut them, of course that's what they're pandering to.

00:15:39.000 It's a political move for Trump to talk about that stuff.

00:15:41.000 I'm in favor of the bill because we ought to be picking and choosing the people who come into the country and making sure that they actually are not on welfare, are not safety threats, and are going to assimilate to the U.S. 0.94

00:15:50.000 culture.

00:15:50.000 Now, the media don't know the first thing about immigration.

00:15:53.000 The history of immigration in the United States is filled with ebbs and flows.

00:15:56.000 There were times when there were tons of immigrants coming to the United States.

00:15:59.000 In 1907, when my great-great-grandfather got to the United States,

00:16:03.000 Harry Shapiro, when he came in 1907, there were over a million immigrants that came into the United States that year, mostly from Western and Eastern Europe.

00:16:13.000 That's not rare in U.S.

00:16:14.000 history.

00:16:15.000 But then there was a crackdown in the 1920s and immigration plummeted.

00:16:18.000 So we've had times when there was lots of immigration, times when there was not as much immigration.

00:16:22.000 And this sort of ebb and flow in terms of immigration is perfectly natural.

00:16:25.000 There's nothing quote-unquote nativist about it, depending on the motives.

00:16:29.000 You know, sometimes there is nativist.

00:16:30.000 Sometimes they're trying to ban the Chinese or

00:16:32.000 Ban the Jews, or ban the Irish, or ban the Germans. 0.97

00:16:35.000 But in this particular case, that's not what's going on here.

00:16:38.000 This is a case that you have to have people who are willing to assimilate, and you have to have people who are not safety threats, and people who are not going to be on welfare.

00:16:44.000 All of which seems perfectly decent to me.

00:16:47.000 Now, what happens is the media, because they are so eager to call President Trump a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, and all the rest, they immediately decide, without any evidence, that this bill is based on racism. 0.63

00:16:57.000 This is their routine.

00:16:58.000 So Stephen Miller, a guy I know, and who is definitely an expert on immigration, I mean, as I've said before, I remember in, it must have been 2013, there was an event, or it would have been 2014 actually, 2014-15, there was an event at which I did, it was like a late night dinner slash drinking session,

00:17:17.000 With Stephen Miller, Ann Coulter, Jeff Sessions, and me.

00:17:21.000 And Stephen knows what he's talking about.

00:17:22.000 When it comes to immigration, this is his specialty.

00:17:24.000 This is where he's best.

00:17:25.000 Now, his manner is very aggressive, and that's abrasive to some people, but the person who gets hammered here is not Stephen Miller.

00:17:32.000 It's Jim Acosta.

00:17:32.000 Jim Acosta is the reporter from CNN.

00:17:35.000 He doesn't know anything about immigration.

00:17:37.000 Like, nothing about immigration.

00:17:38.000 You're gonna see that on full display in this particular clip.

00:17:42.000 But what you're proposing, or what the President is proposing here, does not sound like it's in keeping with American tradition when it comes to immigration.

00:17:48.000 The Statue of Liberty says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, your aim to breathe free.

00:17:53.000 It doesn't say anything about speaking English or being able to be a computer programmer.

00:18:00.000 Aren't you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant coming into this country?

00:18:05.000 If you're telling them you have to speak English?

00:18:09.000 Can't people learn how to speak English when they get here? 1.00

00:18:11.000 Okay, so there's nothing wrong with telling people they need to learn how to speak English.

00:18:14.000 I love this idea from the left, and from the media, that what it says in Emma Lazarus's poem on the Statue of Liberty is somehow U.S.

00:18:20.000 law.

00:18:20.000 When it says, give us your tired, your weary, your huddled masses yearning to be free.

00:18:25.000 Well, the key phrase in that, actually, which everyone seems to be ignoring, is yearning to be free.

00:18:30.000 Okay, it doesn't say yearning for free stuff.

00:18:32.000 It means yearning to be free.

00:18:33.000 So, the English language requirement is only a requirement now because we've had two generations of immigrants who have not bothered to learn English in many cases. 1.00

00:18:41.000 Their kids learn English, but they themselves have not bothered.

00:18:44.000 Like, when my great-great-grandfather came to the United States,

00:18:47.000 He spoke Yiddish.

00:18:48.000 His kids did not speak Yiddish.

00:18:49.000 It was actually forbidden in the household for them to speak Yiddish because they wanted their kids to learn English and integrate into American society.

00:18:56.000 That's not the way that it works anymore.

00:18:57.000 Now here in California, we have English as second language, right?

00:19:00.000 You have full classes taught in Spanish in public schools.

00:19:03.000 You know, that is not the way that we were told immigration was supposed to work.

00:19:06.000 So, when you have Jim Acosta doing the, you know, huddle masses yearning to be free, the immediate and obvious point is, okay Jim, there have to be some restrictions on immigration.

00:19:16.000 What would you propose those be?

00:19:17.000 Should we just welcome seven billion people into the United States? 0.99

00:19:20.000 Should everyone come in?

00:19:21.000 Because clearly you think that's what Emma Lazarus' poem means.

00:19:23.000 If you want to come here, you should be able to come here.

00:19:25.000 Well, that would immediately destroy the United States as it stands, and that's where Stephen Miller goes with this.

00:19:31.000 Well, first of all, right now it's a requirement that to be naturalized you have to speak English.

00:19:36.000 So the notion that speaking English wouldn't be a part of immigration systems would be actually very ahistorical.

00:19:41.000 Secondly, I don't want to get off into a whole thing about history here, but the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of liberty enlightening the world.

00:19:48.000 It's a symbol of American liberty lighting the world.

00:19:51.000 The poem that you're referring to that was added later is not actually part of the original Statue of Liberty, but more fundamentally

00:19:57.000 You're saying that that does not represent what the country has always thought of as immigration coming into this country?

00:20:02.000 That sounds like some National Park revisionism.

00:20:05.000 The Statue of Liberty has always been a median of hope to the world

00:20:18.000 Jim, do you believe... Jim, pause it right there.

00:20:21.000 Jim, do you believe... Jim, pause it for a second. 0.69

00:20:24.000 He's being such a contentious douchebag, Jim Acosta, right here.

00:20:27.000 I mean, this is, like, even if you think that Jim Acosta is correct on this, Jim Acosta just badgering Steven Moe, not even letting him get an answer, and this is a press conference, right? 0.76

00:20:35.000 You ask a question, you get an answer.

00:20:37.000 Maybe you get a follow-up.

00:20:38.000 But the idea that you just get to grandstand, this is one of the reasons why the White House, they're getting a lot of flack for this, they've been saying we don't want on-camera press conferences.

00:20:46.000 Why?

00:20:46.000 Because it's a complete waste of time.

00:20:47.000 Because people like Jim Acosta are trying to edge in and steal all the airtime so maybe Jim Acosta can one day get a show on CNN.

00:20:54.000 I mean, that's really what this is.

00:20:56.000 You know, right after this happened, he started tweeting out lines from Emma Lazarus's poem.

00:21:00.000 Okay, this is the same guy who said, we are not fake news, Mr. President.

00:21:04.000 Is it news to be tweeting out lines from from Emma Lazarus's poem?

00:21:07.000 It hasn't been news for nigh on a hundred years, more than a hundred years that hasn't been news.

00:21:11.000 It's been a while since that was actually plastered on the Statue of Liberty.

00:21:14.000 You know, this is advocacy.

00:21:16.000 It's issue advocacy, which is fine.

00:21:17.000 I advocate for issues all the time.

00:21:19.000 But for Jim Acosta and CNN to pretend this is objective journalism is just a joke.

00:21:23.000 It continues along these lines.

00:21:27.000 Jim, Jim, Jim, I appreciate your speech.

00:21:29.000 Jim, I appreciate your speech, so let's talk about this.

00:21:33.000 Jim, let's talk about this.

00:21:35.000 In 1970, when we let in 300,000 people a year, was that violating or not violating the Statue of Liberty law of the land?

00:21:43.000 In the 1990s, when it was half a million a year, was it violating or not violating the Statue of Liberty law of the land?

00:21:49.000 Tell me what years meet Jim Acosta's definition of the Statue of Liberty law of the land.

00:21:52.000 So you're saying a million a year

00:22:05.000 Is the Statue of Liberty number.

00:22:07.000 900,000 violates it, 800,000 violates it.

00:22:09.000 You're sort of bringing a press one for English philosophy here to immigration and that's never been what the United States has been about.

00:22:17.000 But your statement's also shockingly ahistorical in another respect too.

00:22:21.000 If you look at the history of immigration, it's actually ebbed and flowed.

00:22:24.000 We've had periods of very large waves, followed by periods of less immigration and more immigration.

00:22:29.000 We're in a period of immigration right now that wants to build a wall. 0.95

00:22:34.000 Surely, Jim, you don't actually think that a wall affects green card policy.

00:22:40.000 You couldn't possibly believe that, do you?

00:22:42.000 Actually, the notion that you actually think immigration is a historic wall, the foreign-born population of the United States today... Jim!

00:22:49.000 Jim! 0.94

00:22:52.000 Do you really... I want to be serious, Jim.

00:22:54.000 Do you really, at CNN, not know the difference between green card policy and illegal immigration?

00:22:59.000 I mean, you really don't know that?

00:23:01.000 Okay, so, Jim... So, Jim, as a factual question, Jim... Jim, as a factual... Jim, as a factual question...

00:23:16.000 I am shocked

00:23:37.000 No, this is an amazing moment!

00:23:52.000 This is an amazing moment that you think only people from Great Britain or Australia would speak English is so insulting to millions of hard-working immigrants who do speak English from all over the world.

00:24:05.000 Jim, have you honestly never met an immigrant from another country who speaks English?

00:24:10.000 Okay, and Miller is totally right on this.

00:24:11.000 Okay, what he is saying here is exactly right.

00:24:13.000 There are more English-speaking people in China than in all of the UK and the United States put together.

00:24:20.000 Okay, there are more English-speaking people in India than there are in the United Kingdom and Australia.

00:24:24.000 Why?

00:24:24.000 Because there are lots of people in India, right?

00:24:26.000 There are lots of people in China.

00:24:27.000 There are a billion people in China, and probably a third of them speak English, right?

00:24:31.000 Forty percent of them probably speak some form of English.

00:24:33.000 If you go to Israel, everybody speaks English, right?

00:24:35.000 Hebrew is the first language.

00:24:37.000 Everybody speaks English in Israel.

00:24:38.000 You go to Italy, everybody speaks English.

00:24:40.000 You go to France, everybody speaks English.

00:24:42.000 The idea that only the UK and Australia, they speak English,

00:24:46.000 I mean, they teach English everywhere because English is the universal language of commerce right now.

00:24:50.000 And it has been for the last 400 years.

00:24:52.000 This idea that, you know, this is somehow racism and discriminatory.

00:24:57.000 Again, this doesn't mean that you can't get in if you don't speak English.

00:24:59.000 It means you get extra points because it's easier to integrate you into society where you speak the common tongue.

00:25:04.000 Okay, but Jim Acosta, it's just demonstrative of what the media is.

00:25:06.000 Stephen Miller did a very good job with this.

00:25:08.000 He was getting raked over the coals by a lot of the media.

00:25:11.000 Oh, he's too abrasive.

00:25:12.000 He's too abrasive.

00:25:12.000 What do you expect him to do?

00:25:14.000 Jim Acosta's being a jerk. 1.00

00:25:15.000 He's being a jerk. 1.00

00:25:15.000 Now, I want to get to more of this, and I want to get to how the media painted this afterward. 1.00

00:25:19.000 But for that, you're going to have to go over to dailywire.com and become a subscriber.

00:26:26.000 We are the largest conservative podcast in the nation.

00:26:36.000 So as you see, Stephen Miller absolutely hammers CNN's Jim Acosta.

00:26:40.000 And what is Acosta's response to this? 0.99

00:26:42.000 I mean, this is full-on delusional crap, right? 0.97

00:26:44.000 Because Jim Acosta then goes on CNN, and he says, 0.98

00:26:51.000 It was odd to see the White House wolf in the form of Stephen Miller, one of the top policy advisors, sort of sound like a Statue of Liberty originalist.

00:27:01.000 As if there's some difference between what the Statue of Liberty looked like when it was first brought over here to the United States and what it looks like now with a poem attached to it.

00:27:12.000 I just thought that was an odd moment.

00:27:13.000 It was just a poor argument.

00:27:15.000 And whenever they're bashing the media wolf,

00:27:18.000 My sense always is, is that they're just losing the argument, and I think you saw that today.

00:27:22.000 Which is just a joke.

00:27:23.000 I mean, there's no way that you watch that exchange, and what you come up with is that Jim Acosta wins this exchange. 0.99

00:27:28.000 He looks ignorant. 1.00

00:27:29.000 He looks stupid. 1.00

00:27:30.000 He looks foolish. 1.00

00:27:31.000 He actually said, though, live on CNN, that this was- it was obvious that he couldn't take that kind of heat, that Stephen Miller couldn't take that kind of heat. 1.00

00:27:38.000 He said, I think what you saw unfold in the briefing room is that Miller just couldn't take that kind of heat and exploded right before our eyes.

00:27:45.000 Um... No?

00:27:48.000 No, that's no one who watched that thought that that's where that was coming from.

00:27:52.000 No.

00:27:53.000 And, you know, Acosta then said that Stephen Miller, when he says you have a cosmopolitan biases, it's not often you're accused of a cosmopolitan bias from someone who went to Duke University wearing cufflinks in the White House briefing room.

00:28:03.000 Not a completely unfair critique of Stephen Miller, except for the fact that

00:28:06.000 It is a leftist, a left-wing coastal bias.

00:28:08.000 Like, to pretend that Stephen Miller doesn't represent the thoughts and feelings of people in the middle of the country more than Jim Acosta is just silly.

00:28:14.000 But that's not really what this was about.

00:28:16.000 It was about virtue signaling.

00:28:17.000 And Jim Acosta says that this was a dog whistle.

00:28:20.000 It was just a giant dog whistle.

00:28:22.000 He says that, quote, when you hear about, the president makes some of the comments he makes about immigrants, and when you see Stephen Miller of Policy talking about this, it's a wink, right?

00:28:30.000 Here's what he had to say.

00:28:33.000 Talking about deportation forces, and when you see Stephen Miller, a policy advisor to the president, talking about an English language preference for people coming into this country, it is a wink, it is a dog whistle to certain parts of this country that they are going to be looking at the racial and ethnic flow of immigrants coming into this country.

00:28:52.000 What absolute horsepucky.

00:28:53.000 Again, it's not about the ethnic and racial flow, it's about the cultural flow, it's about the income flow, it's about the education flow.

00:28:59.000 But this is what the left never understood.

00:29:01.000 When they made the immigration case, for the last 20 years, they kept saying things like, well, you let anybody in and it's not a problem at all.

00:29:08.000 You have people in the middle of the country going, wait a second.

00:29:10.000 You have people like Victor Davis Hanson, who lives up in Northern California, Central California, saying, my entire town has been transformed by people who don't speak English, who don't abide by basic Western standards of civilization. 0.74

00:29:21.000 You know, there are a lot of people who suffer, and there is a cosmopolitan bias to this.

00:29:24.000 I know, I live in L.A.

00:29:25.000 I've lived my entire life in L.A.

00:29:27.000 In L.A., here's the truth about how people like Jim Acosta and members of the media think about this kind of stuff.

00:29:33.000 The way they think about this kind of stuff is they live in very nice houses, they went to top universities, and the only time they see immigrants, legal or illegal, 1.00

00:29:40.000 Is usually when they are working with them at the top notches of business, right?

00:29:44.000 They're working with them as like an IT person or the person comes in and now they're a nurse, right?

00:29:50.000 Or illegally, they're the people who mow their lawn, right?

00:29:54.000 The nanny who takes care of their kids. 0.92

00:29:55.000 Those are the only people they see.

00:29:56.000 They don't ever see the people who aren't working because the people who aren't working are down at the Home Depot waiting for somebody to pick them up, or alternatively, they're in East L.A.

00:30:04.000 working with some sort of heroin cartel, right?

00:30:06.000 I mean, like, the fact is that most of the people who are coming in are not participating in drug-related activity, of course, but... 0.99

00:30:12.000 To pretend that that doesn't exist is just silly, it's just foolish. 0.99

00:30:14.000 To pretend the criminal element doesn't exist is foolish. 1.00

00:30:16.000 To pretend poverty doesn't exist is foolish. 0.97

00:30:18.000 Drive over to East LA, look around and tell me that the poverty that is endemic in that community has nothing to do with the immigrants who are being brought in, that it's just the American system that causes that poverty. 0.98

00:30:28.000 No, if you come in and you bring a bunch of people who have no skill set, then this is what you are going to get.

00:30:34.000 Okay, that is not their fault.

00:30:35.000 And it's not your fault.

00:30:37.000 That's just the way it is.

00:30:37.000 Okay, people with no skill set are not the top choices for the United States to bring in and that has nothing to do with race.

00:30:43.000 There are a lot of people, there are countries in the world where if you bring white people in from those, I mean, like people don't like to talk about the fact that, you know, there are a lot of Russian immigrants to this country.

00:30:53.000 Well, presumably this new bill would harm Russian immigrants to this country if they can't speak English properly and have no skill set.

00:30:58.000 Those people are white.

00:30:59.000 So it's not about ethnicity.

00:31:01.000 It's not about place of birth.

00:31:03.000 It's about culture.

00:31:03.000 It's about skill set.

00:31:04.000 Again, the left refuses to acknowledge any of this and so instead they castigate everyone who agrees with Trump that maybe we ought to be worried about the shifting culture of the country based on bringing in legal immigrants who then stay illegally, by the way.

00:31:17.000 Illegal and illegal immigration are connected.

00:31:19.000 There are a bunch of people who have overstayed

00:31:21.000 The whole notion that people who want to come to the United States, immigrate to the United States, should know English before they arrive, why is that so central to this new strategy that the president is putting forward?

00:31:51.000 Well, Wolf, I think at times this White House has an unhealthy fixation on what I call the three Ms, the Mexicans, the Muslims, and the media.

00:31:59.000 Their policies tend to be crafted around bashing one of those three groups, and we just see it time and again.

00:32:07.000 And today, on immigration, what the White House is essentially saying, in a wink and a dog whistle to some of these battleground states that they won, is that

00:32:17.000 Immigrants coming in from Latin America are taking your jobs. 1.00

00:32:20.000 Well, if immigration is not the reason why the factory closed in Pittsburgh or the coal mine was shut down in West Virginia, the people who are struggling in those states, they need policies that will help get them out of this mess that they've been in for generations.

00:32:40.000 You have to bring in everybody from Latin America who has a low skill set and creates wage competition, and then you have to pay welfare to all the people who are thrown out of work. 1.00

00:32:48.000 Like, that's his idea because Jim Acosta is on the left.

00:32:50.000 This is all grandstanding.

00:32:52.000 When he says Muslims, Mexicans, the media?

00:32:53.000 Listen, I'm not in favor of people attacking Mexicans. 0.94

00:32:56.000 During the election cycle, when President Trump went after Judge Curiel and suggested that because his parents were Mexican he couldn't be fair in his trial, I said that's disgusting.

00:33:03.000 When it came to his Muslim ban, I said I don't think that a full Muslim ban is good policy.

00:33:08.000 But when it comes to the media, there's a reason he's bashing the media, and it's because of the guy you see on your television screen right now.

00:33:13.000 It's because of Jim Acosta.

00:33:14.000 That's why he's bashing the media.

00:33:15.000 It's not just Acosta, by the way.

00:33:16.000 Glenn Thrush, over at the Washington Post, he and Miller go at it, and here's what that looked like in the briefing room yesterday.

00:33:23.000 And no recent study said that as much as $300 billion a year may be lost as a result of our current immigration system in terms of folks drawing more public benefits than they're paying in.

00:33:33.000 But let's also use common sense here, folks.

00:33:36.000 At the end of the day, why do special interests want to bring in more low-skilled workers?

00:33:41.000 And why, historically,

00:33:44.000 Well, I think it's very clear, Glenn, that you're not asking for common sense, but if I could just answer, if I could just answer your question.

00:33:50.000 I named, I named, I named the studies, Glenn.

00:33:53.000 Glenn, Glenn, Glenn.

00:33:55.000 I named the studies.

00:33:56.000 I named the studies.

00:33:59.000 Glenn, maybe we'll make a carve-out in the bill that says the New York Times can hire all the low-skilled, less-paid workers they want from other countries and see how you feel then about low-wage substitution.

00:34:09.000 This is a reality that's happening in our country.

00:34:12.000 Maybe it's time we had compassion, Glenn, for American workers.

00:34:15.000 President Trump has met with American workers who've been replaced by foreign workers.

00:34:20.000 And ask them how this is affecting their lives.

00:34:25.000 Again, this is a strong political case.

00:34:27.000 Again, I don't think it's a strong factual case that in the long run this is going to help the economy in any real way.

00:34:32.000 But the political case that he's making against Thrush is an obvious one, and it's not nativism as much as it is, you know, the idea that if you don't want people coming in who are going to threaten the wage base,

00:34:44.000 Then you can't have people coming in who are low-skilled.

00:34:46.000 Okay, it's an argument with which I disagree economically, but it's at least a fair argument to suggest that it's based on racism is just nonsense. 0.96

00:34:53.000 Especially because, as Miller says, a lot of the low-wage skill in the United States are people who are black or Hispanic. 1.00

00:34:59.000 But that didn't stop Thrush from ripping Miller and then suggesting that this was, you know, it was just terrible.

00:35:03.000 Just terrible.

00:35:05.000 Miller got mad.

00:35:06.000 I think Stephen Miller got airtime.

00:35:09.000 And I think he enjoyed it immensely.

00:35:12.000 He was not getting off that stage.

00:35:13.000 Sarah Huckabee Sanders was standing around long enough to have been charged rent standing next to him. 1.00

00:35:21.000 I thought she was going to get out of hook and like hook him after a while. 1.00

00:35:24.000 I mean, he was like that guy who just kept going and going.

00:35:28.000 And it wasn't going well, but he kept going anyway.

00:35:31.000 It was Scaramucci-esque.

00:35:33.000 Right!

00:35:33.000 It was in the mold of Scaramucci.

00:35:36.000 You're right.

00:35:36.000 This is your objective media, gang.

00:35:39.000 This is your objective media going at it.

00:35:40.000 This is not even people like Ana Navarro, a former Republican strategist, okay?

00:35:44.000 This is people like Glenn Thrush, objective media.

00:35:46.000 Jim Acosta, objective media.

00:35:47.000 Does this look objective to you?

00:35:49.000 Another element of the objective media today, the Washington Post revealed leaked transcripts from January 27th phone calls made by then-brand-new President Donald Trump to his counterparts in Mexico and Australia.

00:35:59.000 It's dangerous stuff, okay?

00:36:01.000 They gotta crack down on these White House leaks. 0.98

00:36:03.000 The content of the calls is not edifying, you know, for people who either support Trump or oppose Trump.

00:36:09.000 I mean, it doesn't show a guy who has tremendous command of the issues, but it is a serious security issue, and you do have to wonder whether it is worthwhile for the Washington Post to be printing full-scale transcripts of national security-related calls to Australia and to Mexico.

00:36:26.000 I mean, this is just...

00:36:28.000 The media is out to get Trump, there's no question about it.

00:36:30.000 Now, I've been very critical of Trump.

00:36:31.000 I've said that I think Trump needs to do a better job.

00:36:33.000 But when you watch things like what happened in the White House briefing room yesterday, it is impossible not to come to the conclusion that the media have an agenda, and they are going to force that agenda through, and that agenda has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with character assaults, suggesting that everyone who agrees with some sort of crackdown on immigration or a change in the way we do immigration to bring in people who are more likely to assimilate and add to the economy rather than subtracting, that those people who want to crack down on that stuff

00:36:57.000 Those people are the bad guys. 1.00

00:36:59.000 They're evil, they're nasty, they're racist. 0.99

00:37:02.000 It should be unacceptable for the media to do that, but that's their entire game at this point, and that's why Trump continues to hold his base. 0.96

00:37:09.000 Okay, so time for some things I like, some things I hate, and then we'll get to the big idea.

00:37:12.000 So, things I like...

00:37:14.000 We've been paying late homage to Anthony Scaramucci and doing characters who are like Anthony Scaramucci in movies, and he is a stock character from the films.

00:37:23.000 And so this one, today's, comes from Boiler Room.

00:37:27.000 Boiler Room is a really underrated film with Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Affleck.

00:37:32.000 Ben Affleck sort of plays the Alec Baldwin, Glenn, Gary, Glenn Ross part, but this is all about basically a scam firm, kind of a Wolf of Wall Street firm,

00:37:41.000 That's basically a pyramid scheme.

00:37:42.000 They just call people up, they sell them leads on stocks, and then when the stocks collapse, then they're not around to pick up on it.

00:37:48.000 They get a commission based on the amount they sell.

00:37:50.000 It has nothing to do with whether the stock goes up or down, and they're paid by companies to basically sell all the stock, these penny stocks that are not heavily regulated, and then if they collapse, no big deal.

00:37:59.000 Here's the scene where Ben Affleck makes the pitch to all of the prospective Series 7 stockbrokers as to why they should work for his firm.

00:38:15.000 I'm sorry, man.

00:38:16.000 This is my seat.

00:38:18.000 I'm so sorry.

00:38:18.000 It's okay.

00:38:18.000 Don't worry about it.

00:38:20.000 Get the f*** out of here. 0.99

00:38:28.000 What? 1.00

00:38:29.000 Don't talk to me.

00:38:30.000 Don't look at me. 1.00

00:38:30.000 Just pick your a** up out of that Italian leather chair and get the f*** out of this room. 1.00

00:38:34.000 Right now. 0.99

00:38:36.000 C'mon, let's go, schleprock! 1.00

00:38:38.000 Out! 0.58

00:38:43.000 That's it.

00:38:46.000 We expect everyone here to treat their co-workers with a certain level of respect.

00:38:50.000 Okay, before we get started, I have one question.

00:38:52.000 Has anyone here passed the Series 7 exam?

00:38:56.000 I have a Series 7 license.

00:38:57.000 Good for you.

00:38:58.000 You can get out too.

00:38:59.000 What?

00:39:00.000 Why?

00:39:01.000 We don't hire brokers here.

00:39:02.000 We train new ones.

00:39:04.000 That's it, Skippy. 1.00

00:39:05.000 Pack your shit. 1.00

00:39:06.000 Let's go. 1.00

00:39:13.000 Okay.

00:39:14.000 Here's the deal.

00:39:15.000 I'm not here to waste your time, okay?

00:39:17.000 And I certainly hope you're not here to waste mine.

00:39:18.000 So I'm gonna keep this short.

00:39:20.000 Become an employee of this firm, you will make your first million within three years.

00:39:25.000 Okay?

00:39:26.000 I'm gonna repeat that.

00:39:27.000 You will make a million dollars within three years of your first day of employment at J.T.

00:39:34.000 Marlin.

00:39:34.000 There is no question as to whether or not you'll become a millionaire working here.

00:39:38.000 The only question is how many times over.

00:39:42.000 Okay, so, that is the Scaramucci routine.

00:39:45.000 He eventually goes on in this little speech to talk about how he has the nicest car and beautiful women and all this kind of stuff.

00:39:51.000 This sort of attitude, people who find this sort of thing attractive, found that attractive.

00:39:55.000 The movie's really good, actually, and has some pretty good performances by a bunch of actors who have had really a lot of bit roles.

00:40:02.000 Affleck is pretty good in this role. 0.96

00:40:03.000 Whenever Affleck plays a jerk, he's good. 0.99

00:40:05.000 Whenever Affleck plays somebody who's supposed to be nice, he's terrible. 0.99

00:40:07.000 So, the movie is boiler room and worth watching.

00:40:10.000 Other things I like...

00:40:12.000 I talked a lot about Venezuela and Hugo Chavez yesterday.

00:40:14.000 The best book on this that I know of is a book by Rory Carroll called Comandante, which is a biography of Hugo Chavez, and it is quite good.

00:40:22.000 It really explains where he came from, why he was who he was, and why demagoguery works.

00:40:27.000 So, pick it up.

00:40:29.000 Worth reading.

00:40:29.000 Okay, time for A Thing I Hate, so let's do A Thing I Hate.

00:40:37.000 Okay, so the thing I hate today is Al Gore, who has made literally a billion dollars off of global warming.

00:40:43.000 He was on national TV on CNN, and he's talking to a priest, and he explains that global warming is a moral and spiritual issue.

00:40:51.000 The habits of over-consumption and looking for happiness in just more things, that definitely is a part of the issue, for sure.

00:41:03.000 Now, I was taught in my church that the purpose of life is to glorify God, and if we are heaping contempt on God's creation, then we're not living up to the

00:41:13.000 Do you think? 1.00

00:41:36.000 What utter stupidity. 1.00

00:41:37.000 Maybe the reason I don't worry so much about global warming is because, at best, the IPCC says that we're going to have a seven degree increase Fahrenheit. 1.00

00:41:42.000 This is like, this is their outside estimate.

00:41:45.000 Seven degree Fahrenheit increase over the next hundred years, average across the planet.

00:41:50.000 They also say that there's really no way to stop a pretty significant temperature increase from happening anyway, even according to their best estimates.

00:41:57.000 And I have more faith in the human capacity to adjust to climate change than I do to the idea that we're all going to suddenly become

00:42:05.000 Communistic, poverty-ridden saints who share all property in common.

00:42:09.000 I mean, Al Gore has made $200 million off this scam.

00:42:13.000 $200 million.

00:42:13.000 So before he starts talking to us about what's really good in life is having no money, dude, give up your private jet and then we can start talking about it.

00:42:20.000 Okay, so we don't have time, unfortunately, to do the big idea this week because we ran out of time.

00:42:24.000 That is my fault.

00:42:25.000 I arrived late to the studio.

00:42:26.000 But we will do it next week because I think that the Jerusalem versus Athens issue is one that has a lot of ramifications for our politics, but you'll have to wait

00:42:34.000 Until next week's big idea in order for us to do that.

00:42:36.000 Maybe we'll do it early next week instead.

00:42:38.000 But we will see you tomorrow.

00:42:39.000 We have the mailbag and we'll bring you all the latest updates.

00:42:41.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:42:42.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
