J.J. Abrams is coming back for Star Wars Episode IX. President Trump announces an end to the Deferred action for Childhood Arrivals program. Hillary Clinton won t leave. And the biggest news of the day: A failed person who failed at everything is coming for more. And no, I'm not talking about Hillary Clinton. I'm talking about President Trump, who announced that he will not be asking Congress for money to replace Deferred Action for Childhood Development (DACA) with a border wall, which was a key part of President Obama's executive order that allowed illegal immigrants who had been in the country since 2007 to come here without a criminal record and work permits to stay in the U.S. They could do so without having to pay a fine or have their criminal record expunged. But now, President Trump wants to get rid of that order, and he's not asking Congress to do it. And that's not even close to what he had originally promised in order to get the program back on track, which is what people have long been asking for. What's the real deal?

00:01:33.000Again, one more time, ZipRecruiter.com.
00:01:37.000Okay, so the big news that was just announced this morning was President Trump, in his spin to the left, has decided that it is no longer important that border wall funding be tied to the implementation of President Obama's executive amnesty.
00:02:07.000Now, I'm old enough to remember when every single rally was filled with two specific chants, really three, right?
00:02:12.000It was, lock her up, with regard to Hillary Clinton.
00:02:28.000As I said a couple of days ago, the fact is that DACA, President Obama's executive amnesty, as imposed by legislature, is basically the DREAM Act that Jeb Bush was pushing for four years.
00:02:39.000Well, now it is being announced that President Trump, the initial idea was that Trump was going to trade legalization of the so-called DREAMers for the wall.
00:02:48.000President Obama's executive amnesty, for those who don't remember, it said that everybody who's between the ages of 16 and 31 had been in the country since 2007 and come over as a child and didn't have a criminal record.
00:02:57.000Those people could all stay indefinitely.
00:03:04.000And then Trump came along and he said, we can't do this, you know, from the executive branch, let's do it instead from the legislature, which is not what he had promised.
00:03:12.000Finally, Trump says the legislature should do it.
00:03:14.000But the idea was, okay, his big deal is going to be, his clever, clever deal, you know, the art of the deal, the magical art of the deal, the MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, 3D underwater chess was going to be that he was going to trade legalization of these dreamers who had already essentially been legalized for to all.
00:03:31.000Okay, today, The Hill, quote, White House Legislative Affairs Director Mark Short told reporters on Tuesday, President Trump would not demand that border wall funding is tied to a legislative replacement for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
00:03:46.000Short said, we're interested in getting border security and the president has made the commitment to the American people that a barrier is important to that security.
00:03:53.000Whether or not that is part of a DACA equation or another legislative vehicle, I don't want to bind us into a construct that would make the conclusion on DACA impossible.
00:04:53.000And Trump, instead of pushing back on that and saying, listen, I'm happy to make room for the so-called dreamers, but we have to secure the southern border.
00:05:00.000Instead of pushing back, he's basically going, okay, sounds great.
00:05:03.000Well, it has something to do with the fact that the president of the United States really likes the media coverage he has been receiving over the past week.
00:05:11.000In the last week, we have seen piece after piece, one from the New York Times, Trump, the independent president.
00:05:47.000As Ann Coulter puts it, we are now eight months in, zero miles of the wall have been built, oh happy, happy day.
00:05:53.000Okay, so with all of that said, this does bring up a question and that question is, how long is Trump's swivel to the center going to last?
00:06:00.000How long is it going to last and why is it a problem?
00:06:03.000So a lot of people have been saying Trump is an independent president.
00:06:09.000If you just want to talk about a president who broke with his party on a routine basis, we have had many presidents who have broken with their parties on a routine basis.
00:07:01.000One is his own tendencies to knee-jerk backlash.
00:07:05.000And the other is Democrats hate the guy.
00:07:07.000They're unifying factors, they must stop him from doing things.
00:07:10.000If Democrats are animated by opposition to Trump, that means the only way Trump can work with them is complete surrender.
00:07:15.000And that's what we've seen over the last week.
00:07:17.000Trump so desperately wants the good headline, he so desperately wants to quote-unquote get something done, that he's willing to work with Democrats.
00:07:22.000Again, if you're a Republican, if you're a conservative, if you're a Trumpster who doesn't like the establishment, you need to ask yourself, why don't I like the establishment?
00:07:30.000If you don't like the establishment because the establishment was making deals with Democrats, you don't get to complain now when the establishment tries to prevent Trump from making deals with Democrats.
00:07:55.000So, to point out how opposition-minded Trump is, yesterday was 9-11, and Trump gave what I thought was quite a good speech on the 9-11 anniversary, and here is what he had to say about terrorists.
00:08:07.000American forces are relentlessly pursuing and destroying the enemies, all civilized people, ensuring, and these are horrible, horrible enemies, enemies like we've never seen before.
00:08:24.000But we're ensuring that they never again have a safe haven to launch attacks against our country.
00:08:33.000We are making plain to these savage killers
00:08:37.000That there is no dark corner beyond our reach, no sanctuary beyond our grasp, and nowhere to hide anywhere on this very large Earth.
00:09:12.000The way President Trump talked today about the enemy was very important to me.
00:09:17.000So important to me and so refreshing to me that I sort of knuckled mine into the rope line so I could thank him for simply saying that our loved ones were murdered that day.
00:09:29.000That is the first time I heard a president since 9-11 use the term murder.
00:09:35.000And I felt it was really important to thank him for that.
00:09:39.000And he actually said something interesting to me.
00:09:42.000He said, my people didn't want me to use that word.
00:09:46.000It's Deborah Berlin who lost her brother on 9-11.
00:09:50.000And when Trump says things like, my advisors didn't want me to say murdered, the point here is not really a profound one.
00:09:57.000It is just that Trump operates in an oppositional universe.
00:10:00.000And that's what made him so popular in 2016, because everyone hated Hillary Clinton.
00:10:03.000We'll get to Hillary Clinton in a little while.
00:10:04.000Her new book, What Happened, is out today.
00:10:31.000That means Hillary was a garbage candidate, but what Trump did better than anyone else is he's a very oppositional guy.
00:10:36.000And so his opposition to Hillary Clinton resulted in a win for people who opposed Hillary Clinton.
00:10:41.000Well, Trump operates the same way on everything.
00:10:43.000So when it talks about his advisors, his advisors didn't want him to say murdered, and so he said murdered.
00:10:48.000A good way of getting Trump to do what you want is by actually opposing what you want him to do.
00:10:54.000Right, if you actually oppose him, then he pushes, then you use reverse psychology basically.
00:10:59.000You say that you oppose all these things and then Trump pushes back against you because Trump is oppositional in nature.
00:11:05.000That's not a good thing for Republicans and conservatives who are looking at what he's doing right now and saying this is not good that you're making deals with Democrats.
00:11:12.000It's also not good for Democrats long term though.
00:11:15.000Because the fact is that Democrats are also animated by this opposition.
00:11:18.000The idea that he's going to have some sort of long-lasting deal with Democrats is not true because, again, he is an oppositional creature.
00:11:25.000The Democrats oppose him in the end because they hate him and they want him out.
00:11:29.000And that means that they will oppose him on key issues and then he'll be forced back into opposition.
00:11:33.000So I don't think this is going to last for any significant amount of time.
00:11:38.000So, in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, the media have decided that it is vitally important to point out that they are opposed to Trump.
00:11:46.000Now, this should be a unifying moment, right?
00:11:47.000Trump's actually done a pretty good job handling Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, but the media are so opposed to Trump that they cannot even give him credit for that.
00:11:56.000Democrats are so opposed to Trump that they have to rip him up and down.
00:11:59.000That's why I don't think this alliance is going to last
00:12:02.000I think Trump will try to make it last, but I don't think it's going to last very long unless Trump is so driven by the headline that he decides to surrender across the board.
00:13:00.000Why doesn't he just follow the Democratic consensus and do something about climate change?
00:13:05.000Joy Behar does the same thing on The View.
00:13:08.000Democrats are animated by their own animus.
00:13:10.000They are animated by their own hatred for Trump.
00:13:12.000And this is what's going to prevent Trump from making a deal with them in any long-term way.
00:13:15.000Here's Joy Behar, who is sort of the id of the Democratic Party.
00:13:18.000The heat is creating warm waters in the oceans, in the Gulf, wherever, and that is contributing to the intensity of storms like Irma.
00:13:28.000Why this is the worst storm we've ever seen, etc., has to do with climate change.
00:13:34.000And people who deny that, they should start naming all of these next hurricanes after Hurricane Limbaugh, Hurricane Pruitt, Hurricane Palin.
00:13:44.000You know, we do have to, I think it's very important that Joy Behar lecture us on science.
00:13:48.000I mean clearly, clearly she has in many ways conquered science and somehow made it onto TV.
00:13:55.000In any case, this demonstrates the sort of hatred that she has, by the way,
00:13:59.000The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institute Association, the government agency, they've said that you can't link any specific hurricane to climate change.
00:14:08.000Specifically, in fact, we had a very quiet period before this year in terms of hurricanes.
00:14:13.000The point here, again, is that the Democrats hate Trump so much they're not going to make deals with him.
00:14:16.000They're just not going to make deals with him.
00:14:18.000And Trump will react to that by not wanting to make deals with them.
00:14:20.000So I think he's going to ping pong back and forth.
00:14:22.000I think that's what's going to happen.
00:14:23.000His administration is basically going to be Trump reacting to whoever hit him last.
00:14:28.000Democrats right now are being very nice to him.
00:14:29.000There will come a time when they're not so nice to him, and when that happens, he will ping-pong back to the Republican side of the aisle, then Republicans won't be able to get anything done, and then he'll ping-pong right back to the Democrats.
00:14:38.000He is not forming a ruling coalition here, okay?
00:14:41.000He's not forming a new philosophy and a new ideology.
00:14:44.000Anyone who thinks he is should watch the last six months, where he seems to be sort of picking and choosing from the tree of issues, varying wildly across what he says and to whom he says it.
00:14:56.000I would not really put a lot of stock in the idea that Trump is making some sort of permanent change in terms of his political orientation that looks like a third way.
00:15:04.000This isn't a Clintonian third way or a Nixonian third way.
00:15:06.000Trump is a man of instinct and he operates off that instinct, which is good news on the one hand for conservatives because it means that he's likely to bounce away from Democrats at some point in the future.
00:15:15.000But it's bad news for conservatives right now because it means that he's bouncing off Republicans right now to work with the Democrats.
00:15:20.000Okay, I want to talk about Hillary Clinton and her giant fail of a 2016 campaign.
00:16:18.000Over a million watches sold in over 160 countries.
00:16:22.000Right now, if you go to MVMT.com slash Shapiro, again that's MVMT.com slash Shapiro, you get 15% off today with free shipping and free returns.
00:17:39.000And believe me, they, on Friday morning, or Thursday morning, it was Thursday morning, I guess, they looked like victorious warriors when they appeared before our caucus.
00:18:17.000If he listens to me, he's going to react badly to me.
00:18:19.000Trump is like my three-year-old in this way, okay?
00:18:21.000You react badly, or really he's more like my one-and-a-half-year-old who screams very loudly, and then if you say no, he screams even louder.
00:18:28.000So if I say, Trump, you got screwed by Schumer and Pelosi, Trump reacts that by saying that I'm the mean one, and therefore he's fine with Schumer and Pelosi.
00:18:35.000If Schumer and Pelosi make the big mistake of saying that they're the ones who screwed Trump over, then Trump is going to react badly to them.
00:18:41.000So we'll see how all of this plays out, but before everybody panics and says that Trump is permanently in the Democratic camp, I just want to point that out.
00:18:49.000Okay, other things that are in the news today.
00:18:51.000Hillary Clinton is making her rounds on her book tour.
00:19:06.000I got the election wrong in terms of the result but I did get this right.
00:19:09.000I said throughout the election that this election was not going to be a referendum on Trump.
00:19:12.000It was going to be a referendum on Hillary Clinton.
00:19:14.000That Trump was stuck between 40 and 43 percent and Hillary was bouncing around between 39 and 50.
00:19:19.000Because people couldn't decide whether they hated her or whether they were quasi lukewarm on her.
00:19:23.000And in the end it turns out that they hated her.
00:19:25.000Well Hillary cannot accept that answer and so she continues to trot out various explanations for why she lost.
00:19:31.000So today she did an interview with USA Today and she said there was a communication and there certainly was an understanding of some sort between the Russians and the Trump campaign.
00:19:38.000She says there's no doubt in my mind Putin wanted me to lose and wanted Trump to win.
00:19:43.000And there's no doubt in my mind they're a tangle of financial relationships between Trump and his operation with Russian money.
00:19:48.000And there's no doubt in my mind that Trump campaign and other associates have worked really hard to hide their connections with the Russians.
00:19:54.000Okay, again, does she have any evidence of any of this?
00:19:56.000No, this is all a conspiracy theory until she can provide evidence of any of this.
00:20:02.000She says, I happen to believe in the rule of law and believe in evidence, so I'm not going to go off and make all kinds of outrageous claims.
00:20:21.000She says his unusual announcement 11 days before the election revealing her new trove of emails ended up screwing her in the three upper Midwest states.
00:20:28.000She said my first instinct was that my campaign should hit back hard and explain to the public that Comey had badly overstepped his bounds.
00:20:34.000My team raised concerns with that kind of confrontational approach.
00:20:36.000In the end, we decided it would be better to let it go and try to move on.
00:21:34.000If you're talking about expanding Medicare for All, making me eligible for Medicare, not based on age, not based on health, not based on income, then what you're really talking about is adding $14 trillion to the national debt in the next 10 years alone.
00:21:47.000Which means that it will end up being double or triple that over the next 20 because that's how every government program always works.
00:21:54.000But now this has been embraced right across the board because Democrats can't accept.
00:21:57.000The reason they lost is not because they didn't offer people enough free stuff.
00:22:02.000The reason they lost is not because they didn't run Bernie Sanders, okay?
00:22:05.000Bernie Sanders offered people a lot of free stuff.
00:22:07.000The reason they lost is because they have contempt for the American people.
00:22:10.000Democrats have contempt for the American people, particularly white people living in Midwestern states.
00:22:15.000They think these people are rubes, they think these people are fools, and they think these people ought to be on the losing end of American politics.
00:22:54.000It was about his signaling to his white base that he was going to wipe away the achievements of Obama.
00:23:00.000All right, now, I said during the election cycle that I thought that Trump did not do enough to distinguish himself from the alt-right, that he was sort of covertly and in some ways overtly pandering to the alt-right because he thought they were an important part of his base.
00:23:11.000But he was not doing that in opposition to Obama.
00:23:14.000He was doing that in opposition to the intersectional left, of which Ta-Nehisi Coates is a part.
00:23:19.000The people who say that identity is inextricably intertwined with politics.
00:23:23.000That white people are part of a white privileged society, keeping black people and Hispanic people down.
00:23:43.000But Democrats have to find something other than themselves to blame.
00:23:46.000Because if they looked in the mirror, then they would actually have to examine what they've done wrong here.
00:23:51.000And they've done some things pretty wrong, including insulting the American people on a regular basis.
00:23:56.000Okay, so before I go any further, and I have some pretty amazing stuff I like and stuff I hate today, first, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at LendingTree.
00:24:04.000So, right now, you're looking for a mortgage, you want to buy a house, but you don't know where to get one.
00:24:08.000You just go to your friend, your friend says, oh, you know where I got my mortgage?
00:24:12.000Well, the fact is that Blank is not going to give you as good a mortgage as LendingTree.

00:24:47.000It'll matter in terms of what you're paying on a monthly basis, particularly over the life of the loan.

00:25:21.000So, according to USA Today, there are poignant moments in her book, particularly as she describes trying to get through the first days and weeks after the election.
00:25:28.000The suit she had chosen to wear for her victory speech, white, the color of the suffragettes, stayed in the garment bag.
00:25:34.000You remember when she wore the white suit at the convention.
00:25:36.000For the concession speech the next morning, she wore a gray and purple suit she had planned to wear on her first trip to Washington as president-elect.
00:25:42.000Purple, the color combination of red and blue, was designed as a subtle tip to bipartisanship.
00:25:49.000Okay, I still do get a kick out of the fact that she's not the president.
00:25:51.000And whatever I think of Trump, and how he is behaving lately, and how he is legislating, I am very happy she is not president.
00:25:58.000She says, I'm sure she did, and I'm sure she hurled a few lamps and such.
00:26:19.000Well, that you're super corrupt, and that you are super rehearsed, and that you are incredibly partisan, and that you think half the country is filled with terrible people.
00:26:28.000That, I think, is probably the problem for Hillary Clinton.
00:26:31.000And when she's speaking with Democrats, she basically admits as much.
00:26:34.000So she was on the Pod Save America podcast earlier today, and here is what she said.
00:26:40.000She was asked about Putin and the association with Trump.
00:26:44.000Apparently in the book she says, quote, Trump doesn't just like Putin, he wants to be like Putin, put down dissenters, repress minorities.
00:27:18.000I wrote this book to try and come to grips with what happened, but also to sound the alarm about what I think could still and may well happen.
00:27:24.000I think Trump, left to his own devices, unchecked, would become even more authoritarian than he has tried to be.
00:27:29.000Also, remember the right-wing, aided and funded by Mercer's, Koch Brothers, etc., is very serious about calling a constitutional convention.
00:27:35.000Okay, the Koch Brothers, by the way, are libertarians.
00:27:39.000Last I checked, they were at 28 or 29.
00:27:40.000This would be the convention of states pushed by people like Mark Levin to check the power of the federal government, but she doesn't understand that the convention of states has nothing to do with Trump.
00:27:49.000The Convention of States was moving long before Trump.
00:27:51.000There are a lot of people who support a Convention of States, like me, who are not advocates for the president, particularly when he does things that are wrong.
00:27:59.000She says, part of their gerrymandering is to control state legislatures, elect Republican governors, call a constitutional convention.
00:28:05.000If you get really deep into what they are advocating, limits on the First Amendment, no limits on the Second Amendment, limits on criminal justice.
00:28:10.000I mean, there's a very insidious right-wing agenda.
00:28:14.000Who's talking about limiting the First Amendment?
00:28:16.000It's the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, who has talked about things like hate crimes laws, hate speech laws.
00:28:22.000Things like, let's make sure that if you are in LLC, you can't spend money on politics.
00:28:26.000She says, when I say that he doesn't just like Putin, he wants to be like Putin, I'm not saying he's going to start killing journalists, but I am saying he likes the idea of unaccountable, unchecked power.
00:28:50.000Everyone talks about Trump being low in the opinion polls.
00:28:52.000Bottom line is, it really, really depends on who the Democrats nominate.
00:28:55.000And if they think that they can run the same campaign they ran in 2016 and just add single-payer healthcare, they are desperately mistaken.
00:29:02.000Democrats have a serious problem in 2020.
00:29:06.000They're still using Obama's coalition and Hillary's strategy, and they're combining it with Bernie's pie-in-the-sky economics.
00:29:13.000And they have to, because in the primaries, if you say you're not for single-payer, then the Democratic primary vote is too far to the left, and they'll throw you out.
00:29:21.000But when you get into a general, try to tell people that healthcare is going to be completely taken away from them and see how that goes.
00:29:26.000It's the only way, I mean, honestly, Democrats are so bad at this.
00:29:29.000All they truly have to do right now on healthcare is just shut up, watch it collapse, and blame Trump.
00:29:36.000And instead, what they're doing is they're going out there with a single-payer plan that allows them to look like the ones who want to change healthcare.
00:29:41.000The rule about healthcare is whoever changes it gets punished politically.
00:29:44.000This is why Republicans didn't end up changing it.
00:29:47.000Democrats are trying to change it again, but towards single-payer, which demonstrates, by the way, that they were liars all along.
00:29:53.000Democrats are really terrible at this.
00:29:57.000Right now, I have a lot of things I like and things I hate I want to discuss, but for all of that, you're going to have to go over to dailywire.com and become a subscriber.

00:30:13.000Plus, we're doing something very cool.
00:30:15.000Tuesday, September 19th, if I survive Berkeley, at 5 p.m.
00:32:05.000Leave aside Pixar, but the animation is beautiful.
00:32:07.000It's really, because they did it frame by frame, they used some really cool techniques where they would actually paint a piece of glass for the background, then they'd paint a second piece of glass for perspective, and then they'd shoot through the glass.
00:33:57.000Might be those wily crooks, Jay Worthington Foulfellow, and Raggle Taggle Gideon.
00:34:05.000Or perhaps Stromboli, the gypsy-like puppet master.
00:34:07.000Okay, so the movie is actually, so, one of the things I love about Pinocchio is the entire movie is about why growing up requires growing a conscience.
00:35:32.000Little Mermaid, which I think is one of the worst Disney films.
00:35:35.000I mean, the music's great, but I think it's one of the worst Disney films, and that's because the morality of Little Mermaid is basically, she disobeys her father, she's a moron for an hour and a half, and then finally she gets what she wants after making her father into a small monster because she sold a contract to a witch.
00:35:48.000Right, and then she suddenly gets what she wants anyway.
00:36:54.000All of this happens in children's films, okay?
00:36:56.000These things would be rated R now, right?
00:36:58.000The children's films now are really innocent.
00:37:00.000And that's because, you know, life and death were a part of normal life for children a lot more in 1942 than they were than they are today.
00:37:07.000But I think that that actually made kids have more of a moral sense, this idea that life was meaningful because there was such a thing as death, there was such a thing as morality.
00:37:15.000The morality of Pinocchio is a lot better than the morality of today's films.
00:37:18.000Also, as I say, it's a beautiful movie to watch.
00:37:47.000As you might imagine, I'm not a fan of New York Fashion Week, and I'm going to talk a little bit more about that in just a second.
00:37:52.000But, Jim Carrey for some reason shows up at New York Fashion Week, and there's some woman who apparently couldn't afford a complete dress, so she's sort of dressed in parts of a dress, and she's interviewing Jim Carrey.
00:38:04.000And Jim Carrey gives one of the single greatest interviews I have ever seen in any venue.
00:39:19.000I believe that peace lies beyond personality, beyond invention and disguise, beyond the red S that you wear on your chest that makes bullets bounce off.
00:40:18.000During Monday Night Football, there is a guy, a sideline reporter, who I guess is new to the business, and he gives what is certainly the single best sideline report in the history of Monday Night Football.
00:40:30.000Sergio Dipp, the aptly named Sergio Dipp, here's what he had to say on the sideline at Monday Night Football.
00:40:36.000It's a pleasure to be with you guys here on the field, from up close, just watching Coach Vance Joseph.
00:40:44.000From here, you watch him now on the screen.
00:40:47.000This diversity in his background is helping him a lot tonight.
00:40:51.000Quarterback at Colorado, defensive back in the NFL, and here he is, having the time of his life!
00:41:43.000Whenever we're watching sports together and we see these press conferences, he gets so angry at the journalists because they ask questions like, how did it feel to give up that home run?
00:41:49.000And it's like, how do you think it felt?
00:42:01.000I know this is kind of fresh, but having done this once, does it give you a hunger to win another slam, to do this again, feel this feeling again?
00:42:46.000If you have a problem, you should call the police, but this is kind of funny, okay?
00:42:48.000There's a bath musician dubbed Piano Man.
00:42:50.000He has spoken out after receiving backlash on social media and reportedly being punched in the head.
00:42:54.000Luke Howard began playing his piano on College Green in Bristol on Saturday, September 9th, saying it was his last throw of the dice to win back his former girlfriend.
00:43:01.000But after being branded a creep online and realizing his plan had failed...
00:43:07.000So this 34-year-old guy who couldn't, you know, make a decision about his girlfriend and she broke up with him, he took a piano outside her apartment and just started playing the piano like all through the night.
00:43:38.000First of all, she thinks he's stalking, she can call the cops.
00:43:40.000Okay, second of all, please, noise pollution, people.
00:43:43.000It drives me nuts when I'm driving around.
00:43:44.000I have a bad habit, and that is when I'm driving around and somebody next to me has their rap pumped up really loud and it's bothering me in my own car, I roll down my windows and I put on the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth and I crank it all the way up.
00:43:56.000Because that's just the kind of person I am.
00:44:27.000He's now going to be directing Star Wars Episode IX, aka Death Star Part 7.
00:44:33.000I'm very much looking forward to a new orb that will blow up planets, but we won't call it the Death Star, and we can't call it Starkiller Planet.
00:44:41.000Instead, we'll have to come- I'm hoping that it's blue, and then we can call it the Meth Star.
00:44:45.000Yeah, it'll be like the Death Star, but it'll be the Meth Star.
00:45:20.000Episode 7 of Star Wars is The Force Awakens.
00:45:23.000It's one of those movies when you first watch it, you're like, alright, okay.
00:45:27.000And then you think about it, and then you think about it, and then you think about it some more.
00:45:31.000And then by the time you're done thinking about it, you're ready to go burn down J.J.
00:45:33.000Abrams' house because he wrecked my childhood.
00:45:36.000You understand that when Return of the Jedi ends, that Luke has destroyed the Emperor?
00:45:41.000You understand that it makes no sense for the dark side of the Force to have crept up again and be ruling the universe?
00:45:46.000Okay, you have to explain what happened with the Rebellion and how they ruled badly if you're going to explain why there's this new Force in the world.
00:45:52.000Also, why is it, like, why did you turn Luke and Leia, who are one of the best couples in screen history, into a squabbling divorce couple?
00:46:13.000He'll wreck my childhood by announcing that Kylo Ren is actually Luke and Leia's son.
00:46:16.000He'll completely, he'll go full Game of Thrones on me.
00:46:19.000But by turning Han into a sad old man who gets murdered by his pathetic son, you know that's going bad.
00:46:25.000First of all, this beat that people use in movies now that drives me absolutely up a wall is when somebody will say, there's somebody totally evil, and they'll say, go stop him.
00:48:33.000Lena Dunham's gonna buy this and just horrify the rest of us by wearing around the giant vagina dress?
00:48:37.000I mean, I guess these things would be a bestseller at the Women's March.
00:48:40.000They're gonna, like, if you can't tell where the, uh, where the labia are on this particular thing, uh, it's, uh, for some reason they're, they're clinically on her arms, which is a weird place for, for those to be.
00:48:49.000Also, it's always weird to me how they paint the eyes.
00:49:49.000If I'm reading a book, and 15 pages in I have no idea what you're saying, I'm gonna bet you that it's probably because you're a crappy writer, not because I'm a moron.
00:49:56.000Okay, I figure that if I went to UCLA and Harvard Law School and graduated from high school at 16 and have an IQ above 150 I'm figuring that if that's the case then if I'm reading your book, and I don't understand it There aren't that many people who can understand it Okay, if I look at this fashion, and I don't understand what in the world you're doing I'm gonna go with no one understands what in the world you're doing and this is all just for shock value Because again, I don't know like
00:50:22.000File this one under how to make heterosexual men not attracted to depictions of pornographic images.
00:50:32.000Please, people, there's nothing wrong with quote-unquote pandering to the common taste, particularly when there are such things as an objective standard of beauty.
