This Men's Mental Health Month, CAMH is confronting a silent crisis.

Did you know men account for 75% of all suicide deaths in Canada?
00:00:11.740
CAMH is on the front lines pioneering breakthroughs
00:00:18.540
so no father, son, brother, or family is left behind.
00:00:21.480
To join us in building better mental health care for men across Canada,
00:00:35.480
Go check out the latest Daily Wire Backstage Super Tuesday 2020 edition.
00:00:40.220
Join me, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, the God King Jeremy Boring,
00:00:43.980
along with special guests Dave Rubin, Senator Ted Cruz,
00:00:47.460
and many more as we discuss everything Super Tuesday.
00:00:53.960
I'm Jeremy Boring, and welcome to Backstage Super Tuesday 2020 edition.
00:00:57.920
Will Democrats fill the burn, and will Medicare cover all of that?
00:01:01.140
Will Liz Warren quit another race she doesn't belong to?
1.00
00:01:03.780
Does Joe Biden know where he even is right now?
00:01:08.060
I am joined, as always, by Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan,
00:01:14.960
when you're looking for a presidential candidate.
00:01:16.940
Do you want an aged white man or some other aged white man?
0.82
00:01:21.200
If you're anything like me, the answer is no, no.
00:01:28.960
With Mike Bloomberg, you get a presidential candidate
00:01:31.160
who knows what it's like to be incredibly rich.
00:01:36.320
But he also hates guns and sodas, and hey, who doesn't?
00:01:42.900
When I'm sitting on my private beach in Southampton
00:01:48.900
I think there's no one I'd rather have a presidential candidate
00:02:08.320
And for a limited time, when our listeners enter
00:02:14.600
That is hashtag Super Mike Bloomberg promo code backstage.
00:02:17.840
Hashtag Super Mike Bloomberg promo code backstage.
00:02:41.240
so we'll be getting to a ton of member questions.
00:02:43.780
And if you guys want to ask the guys questions tonight,
00:02:51.460
and then type your questions into the chat box next to the video.
00:02:55.120
Now remember that only members get to ask the questions,
00:03:01.860
in that really weird Mike Bloomberg commercial.
00:03:03.920
Anyway, some of the questions already rolling in are,
00:03:16.360
does that mean Elisha gets to sit in the big boy chair?
00:03:18.800
All of those questions and more might be answered by the guys tonight.
00:03:30.580
We're here joined today by a very special guest.
00:03:40.520
And he was the closest, most nearby person we could get.
00:03:48.220
I thought I was getting some of that Bloomberg money.
00:03:50.880
Don't I get that just by sitting with you guys?
00:03:52.940
Hey, I don't know what kind of ads you do on your show.
00:03:54.560
Guys, before anything else, I just want to say,
00:03:56.900
I just voted at one of our many incredible polling stations.
00:04:02.520
Well, I put it on my sunglasses and I left it in my car.
00:04:04.680
But I did vote, and I'm fairly certain I have coronavirus.
00:04:10.020
And I just want to share it with some of my favorite conservatives.
00:04:20.500
Did you guys see this video of Mike Bloomberg today
00:04:23.420
speaking of the coronavirus, getting pizza from craft service?
00:04:32.340
And wings alone are the only time you would lick...
00:04:43.360
but he didn't just touch the side of it or touch his own mug.
00:05:00.340
and there are already a few early results coming in.
00:05:12.520
I said before the show that Biden was going to kill it.
00:05:44.140
Okay, so let's look at how these delegates break it down.
00:05:47.480
So there are a bunch of states on the ballot tonight.
00:05:49.480
The basic rule of thumb that you have to have in mind
00:06:01.220
and that Michael Bloomberg was going to collapse.
00:06:02.660
And Michael Bloomberg was not going to do anything
00:06:12.880
You saw him blow everybody out in South Carolina.
00:06:14.800
Therefore, Bloomberg starts to recede back to the pack.
00:06:28.360
all the delegates are awarded proportionally, right?
00:06:34.700
If the Republicans actually should run it this way,
00:06:39.060
ran up a delegate advantage in the early contest
00:06:57.020
The poll average is all according to 270 to win.
00:07:34.340
I saw Bloomberg and Sanders surpassing the 15%,
00:07:43.720
meaning states with a heavy share of black voters
00:07:51.360
Arkansas also has a blue-collar white population.
00:07:54.480
It is not a heavily college-educated population,
00:07:56.260
so that means that it tends to cut a little bit
00:08:11.880
California has 415 delegates who are up for it.
00:08:24.040
and that Bernie was going to run away with it.
0.99
00:08:27.400
showed that Biden was within spitting distance.
00:08:42.740
I don't think there's a lot of play in those joints.
00:08:46.620
There might be a late-breaking against Sanders,
00:09:54.340
I do think that Biden is going to outperform anywhere.
02:51:52.320
fact that three or four million more people voted
02:51:57.120
best voting demographic is the very old and that
1.00
02:52:00.520
for the first time in 2020 the very old or no the
02:52:03.480
boomers are no longer the majority of voters is
02:52:06.840
bad now you can say yeah but their kids and they
02:52:11.340
all be true that's how you win electoral victories and
02:52:13.660
again we're good electoral victories all of their all of
02:52:16.320
their advantages may not equal victory but I do
02:52:19.460
think that we're taking our enthusiasm and pretending that the
02:52:23.500
country is something I first of all I think I think you're
02:52:26.220
right about this I think that we have reached a tremendous
02:52:28.580
watershed as I've said from the very beginning where I think
02:52:31.820
that the old order has gone away I don't think the new order
02:52:34.920
has formed itself and one of the things that we've been
02:52:36.740
very fortunate in is that the Democrats have no ideas their
02:52:40.700
ideas are from the 19th literally from the 19th century that
02:52:43.680
they're selling these ideas what what is weird to me and
02:52:46.860
hopeful to me is I don't think Donald Trump has the vision for
02:52:49.680
the future either obviously I don't think he has the idea of
02:52:52.560
what's going on but what I think is interesting is I think a
02:52:55.440
Republican Party is forming around him yeah that does have a
02:52:59.620
vision for the future and that somebody is going to tap into
02:53:02.100
eventually and I think it is a Republican Party now you're you're
02:53:05.680
right about America America has deeply deeply changed but it's
02:53:08.860
in flux as I've said from the minute Trump was elected the
02:53:12.700
furniture the gravity has left the building the furniture is
02:53:15.200
floating around the room we don't know where it's going to land but
02:53:18.120
so far what I've seen from the people gathering around Trump not
02:53:21.900
from Trump himself because like I said I don't think he has that
02:53:24.440
vision but from the people gathering around Trump is that a
02:53:26.920
vision is forming on the right that has not yet formed on the
02:53:29.720
left socialism never works it doesn't work it always fails they are
02:53:33.580
selling something that is so old well there's a reason there's a
02:53:37.080
reason their candidates is old because they're selling this is one
02:53:40.020
of the reasons why you're right that it would be better for Trump
02:53:42.100
if Sanders were the nominee because it gives you an opponent an
02:53:44.120
ideological opponent to bounce off of Joe Biden is just mush yeah right
02:53:47.960
who the hell knows what Joe Biden you may be you may be right that's
02:53:50.640
enough to get him over the top I'm yeah you know by the way they are
02:53:53.620
projecting that Biden is is now the winner of the Massachusetts
02:53:56.820
primary so on Massachusetts and Minnesota I mean that's it that's it by
02:53:59.820
all measures this is an excellent night this is why to both of you for
02:54:02.860
him I think certainly the president is more afraid of Joe Biden yeah Bernie
02:54:08.500
Sanders and the evidence of this is pretty simple he keeps defending Bernie
02:54:11.840
Sanders and he keeps attacking sleepy Joe and little Mike or mini Mike
02:54:14.940
rather so I love it it's a very fun troll he does he goes they're robbing
02:54:18.760
Bernie they're stealing you better go get him Bernie obviously if he thought
02:54:22.620
that Bernie were a real threat he would not be cheering right by the way again
02:54:25.740
Walsh Walsh on Twitter on these nights is he just tweeted out by calling his
02:54:30.520
sister his wife Joe Biden is making a bull play for Ilhan Omar
02:54:32.960
speaking of speaking of Matt Walsh we have with us here the man the myth
02:54:40.260
there it is okay I didn't mean to do that say his name three times and he
02:54:45.040
Matt how's it going out there good good I was gonna I was gonna use that Ilhan
02:54:52.500
I cited you though I cited you so what is so what do you uh what do you make of
02:55:00.300
Joe Biden's sweeping victories tonight good for the country bad for the country
02:55:03.720
where are you on this uh well I'm it's great for us as conservatives I
02:55:07.540
absolutely love it I'm loving every minute of this I I think that uh it's
02:55:10.760
great that the Democrats kicked out all their moderately talented politicians
02:55:14.760
left us with the two decrepit old kooks I I just I absolutely love it uh I guess
02:55:20.560
you guys have already covered the Biden confusing his yeah sister with his wife
02:55:24.080
I mean it's just it's it's amazing it's amazing stuff I really love it I love
02:55:27.620
every second of it what do you what do you make of the president's chances
02:55:30.820
against Biden uh one thing is I I'm I've discovered that I'm really bad at
02:55:37.200
predicting things with Donald Trump we all are I really I really have no idea I
02:55:41.560
would think that his chances are pretty good just because Joe Biden is I mean he
02:55:45.820
really is coming apart mentally and so I feel somewhat bad making jokes about it
02:55:49.600
because I actually do think that he's suffering from dementia the guy's gonna be
02:55:52.680
78 years old we have to keep in mind that and I've been I've been beating this drum
02:55:56.760
at at 80 at the age of 80 your chance of getting dementia is about 20 percent a 75
02:56:02.140
year old man has a life expectancy of 10 years and those are those are for for people
1.00
02:56:07.020
that are retired and are just on the golf course or all day if you take on the most
02:56:11.080
stressful job in the world how does that affect it so I really believe it's worse than
02:56:16.520
that because I don't believe Joe Biden lives on fast food and I think that he's
02:56:20.740
actually done some exercise in his life and so if you compare him to our other uh 70
02:56:25.180
plus year old president he has much less life energy he's depleted his energy
02:56:29.300
on the Biden uh sort of play here I know Matt that you are very faithful and a strong believer
02:56:37.860
in the thing do you believe that Joe Biden is going to make inroads among evangelical
02:56:42.220
thingians I I think well he you know he's given all the glory to the thing today
02:56:47.420
it's hard for me to see how Christians could support Joe Biden considering that he has fallen
02:56:57.720
in line and and he now supports far as I know he supports abortion uh through all stages of
02:57:02.420
pregnancy because you have to in order to be a democrat in the year 2020 but at the same time
02:57:07.060
you know he I think that moment he had a couple uh days ago where he was talking about his faith and
02:57:12.240
and losing his his wife and his uh and his kids that that was a real moment and I do think that
02:57:16.780
connects with people that's the one thing I'll give to Joe Biden the credit I'll give him is that
02:57:20.800
he he has suffered more than than um than I certainly have ever in my life that could ever
02:57:26.120
conceive of suffering and he's been able to move forward at least after going through that which
02:57:32.060
I don't think I'd be able to do I think to even go through something like that and just get up the
02:57:36.020
next day and one foot in front of another takes courage so you know of course that's true but I I do
02:57:40.820
want to point out here and this is certainly going to come up if Biden gets the nomination gets to a
02:57:44.780
general uh obviously Biden suffers this horrific tragedy unimaginable tragedy the the driver who
02:57:51.540
struck his wife's car and killed killed his wife was uh it was just an accident he was tested he was
02:57:58.420
not a drunk driver it was just a horrible horrible accident which Joe Biden you know would talk about
02:58:02.960
for years after that driver died he began to slander him absolutely baselessly as a drunk driver and he did
02:58:10.580
it repeatedly on the campaign trail in 2008 it was disgusting it was despicable it caused horrific
02:58:16.300
pain to that man's family that's going to come back up and that's a really slimy grimy thing to do I
02:58:22.280
will say this is one of the terrible things about politics it's a it ends up being true of any
02:58:27.500
politician if they stay in politics long enough is that they actually have to take what's real
02:58:33.520
about themselves yeah and morph it into something that's packaged yeah that's correct it's terrible
02:58:39.920
by the way I'm just going to put it out there the Trump versus Biden debates as I said this back in
02:58:44.100
December I'm going to re-up this they are going to be the Swedish chef versus Chewbacca
02:58:47.740
one of the things we've been uh talking about other than how great you are on Twitter on nights like
02:59:01.880
this but we've been speaking over the course of the night about a vision for this sort of vision
02:59:05.900
for a new conservatism that you hear a lot of people talking about right now where are you on
02:59:10.500
this thing um well you know I I think I'm not exactly sure what conservatism is right now or
02:59:17.120
what it has been and uh I think it's good I guess that we're talking about it um so I think that we
02:59:22.800
do need I don't know if it's a new conservatism or at least conservatism to be defined as something
02:59:27.260
which which I think comes down to a basic question of course which is what exactly are we trying to
02:59:32.420
conserve and if we can't agree on on what that thing is then I'm not even sure if we're all in the
02:59:37.100
same movement or not and so I guess I guess that's the question and the fact that we're at least
02:59:40.940
having that discussion finally uh really for the first time in my life that I can remember
02:59:45.100
I I would say that's a positive step forward. Matt you've made this point I've noticed it on
02:59:49.580
Twitter and on your show which I think is really helpful to frame the discussion because I think
02:59:53.220
each side you know the more kind of socially traditional side they'll point to the other guys
02:59:58.060
and they'll say you're crazy libertarians and then the libertarians will point they'll say
03:00:01.560
you're a bunch of catholic integralists who want the pope to rule America but really the issue that you
03:00:06.700
come back to a lot Matt is hey do we think that uh drag queens should twerk in toddlers faces do we
0.98
03:00:13.340
think the founding fathers believed this was like a blessing of liberty and a glory of America and I
03:00:18.700
think at least you and I would say no but I think really all of us would say no we shouldn't have
03:00:23.860
that right now the question is how to respond right and the question is what government policy is is
03:00:28.680
well calibrated to achieve the the goal of protecting the innocence of children right and I think that the
03:00:33.620
people who are like well the first amendment needs to be uh it needs to be adam braided in order so
03:00:37.760
that we can ensure that that we can't have drag queens twerking at first of all let's just be real
1.00
03:00:42.340
about this yes drag queen story hours horrific it's child abuse also you know what happens those kids
1.00
03:00:47.400
live in homes with parents who bring them to drag queen story hours so in the life of the children
03:00:50.800
and like the grand list of things that harm children I believe I believe that child abuse is the
03:00:55.160
number one health problem in this country number one health problem and then the normalization of
03:01:00.520
child abuse the fact that it's mainstream people defend it and I think with something like drag queen
0.99
03:01:04.600
drag queens twerking in front of kids it should it would be really easy actually at least
03:01:09.780
practically speaking to make laws against this kind of thing I would think now politically speaking
03:01:14.720
it of course wouldn't be wouldn't be easy to do but I think that's what the problem is a lot of
03:01:19.620
conservatives are very reluctant about calling for laws for this state to be used even to protect
03:01:26.060
the innocent and I think we have to get over that squeamishness because when it comes to our kids
03:01:30.480
being abused to the sound of applause that one video of the of the you know the drag queen performing
03:01:37.360
a strip tease essentially in front of a six-year-old girl that's where I think the state needs to rise up
1.00
03:01:42.860
and and do what it's supposed to do you know right now in the United States in 19 states adultery is
0.99
03:01:47.720
illegal until the mid-20th century cohabitation fornication and adultery were illegal in most states in
03:01:54.460
America how'd that work and well it worked out very well America was pretty good up until that point
03:01:58.920
you know do you think that was because of the legal barriers or do you think that was because we had
03:02:01.700
a culture of people who's scoring people I think I think culture affects politics and politics
03:02:05.180
affects culture too no politics is the last vestige of culture no that means that once the culture has
03:02:10.000
gone the politics it's more complicated than this I mean people people now say to me well what good
03:02:14.400
is an anti-abortion law when you can take a pill that gives you an abortion and that is practically
03:02:18.880
true but culturally I think it is important to say that life is protected that you can't kill people
03:02:24.140
you can't solve your problems by killing people I think it's also important let me ask you so let
03:02:27.540
me ask you this I mean he's going to brought it up do you think that adultery should be illegal do
03:02:30.860
you think the state should prosecute adultery do it no I probably don't but but I but I have to say
03:02:35.240
that once you know when once you say this once you say that you can have a no-fault divorce
03:02:38.980
there's no argument it's horrific letting gay people I did well no-fault divorce I don't I don't
1.00
03:02:43.860
think this is why I don't think that the state should be the arbiter of morality I think that the
03:02:47.600
state as the as the entity that determines whether I can divorce somebody is ridiculous because the
03:02:51.560
state's garbage at everything yeah I think my shul I think my synagogue should determine whether I
0.77
03:02:54.800
can divorce somebody and guess what mine mine is pretty damn strict about this sort of yeah but
03:02:58.020
this the problem is I mean it is more complicated than this it is true it is true that the state
03:03:03.560
that our laws reflect morality that is what they reflect our laws say this is something you can't do
03:03:08.820
and they don't just reflect harm they were actually reflect natural rights come from the natural law
03:03:13.300
that's right but I think where I would push back I know what conservatism is the conservatism I'm
03:03:19.280
willing to fight for the thing that I want to conserve is American liberalism yeah the only
03:03:24.180
thing I'm interested in conserving from you know not the only thing I'm interested in conserving the
03:03:28.060
thing I am ultimately interested in conserving from the point of view of the state the use of
03:03:33.080
the state is American liberalism and but wouldn't you say I mean just not just a slight interjection here
03:03:38.180
obviously at the time of the founding all these sorts of things there were laws against
03:03:42.420
ornication cohabitation all these kind of moral laws that now we would say are antithetical
03:03:46.980
to conservatism but all our wonderfully enlightened liberal founding fathers no because morality this
03:03:52.980
is where I disagree with you guys about morality I don't agree that there is an absolute universal
03:03:57.620
morality given to us by God I don't think that's true morality there may be an absolute standard
03:04:03.380
given to us by God but that is not the definition of morality morality is a cultural phenomenon
03:04:08.580
ethics is a cultural yes ethics is a cultural phenomenon when you live when you live in a country
03:04:13.840
where the vast majority of people agree that divorce is wrong then the laws can reflect that
03:04:20.660
belief this is the other side without it being tyrannical yes when you live in a country where the
03:04:24.600
vast majority of people believe that uh that divorce is right then a law making divorce illegal is
03:04:33.340
tyrannical this is the other side of the problem and this is the point where by by I'm sorry just just
03:04:38.360
one second here if you then pass a law to make it illegal again by definition it's not tyrannical
03:04:43.380
because the duly elected representatives are voting okay well now you now now you've set up a
03:04:46.940
principle that has no slavery slavery once once you say that and once you say majority represented
03:04:51.020
right once you say majority makes i think there's an objective moral law but my premise is that it is
03:04:55.820
while we have matt here let me ask you you're talking about something that I think can't does pass the
03:05:01.140
smell test which is protecting children but what do you do when you get beyond this point I mean
03:05:06.540
for instance drag queen story hour as Ben says is something that people bring their children to
03:05:12.220
should you not be allowed to do that if you're in San Francisco where everybody's nuts
03:05:15.920
I would say you shouldn't be allowed to do it the parents should be arrested I mean if I were in
03:05:20.200
charge that's what I would do I would I would just arrest the parents I think you're you're bringing
03:05:23.920
your child in to be conditioned in a very pedophilic way that might not be the intention of the
03:05:29.600
parent but it's the same thing if look if I think we would most of us would probably agree that it that
03:05:33.840
it should be illegal it probably is to bring your your six-year-old child to a burlesque show in in
03:05:39.820
Las Vegas I don't think you can do that and I think we would all agree that if a parent did that
03:05:43.840
that parent should be carted off to jail because that is so grotesque and obscene and you're abusing
03:05:49.400
your child it shouldn't be allowed in a decent society it's the same thing with drag queens drag
1.00
03:05:53.480
drag queens that is burlesque the only difference is that it's a man dressed up like a woman I actually
03:05:59.060
agree with this but but I think this is why the drag queen story hour is not the proper example of
03:06:03.560
of this particular sort of conversation I think the adults were example is actually a better example of this sort of
03:06:08.660
conversation because there you're talking about consenting adults involved in activities that you disapprove of well
03:06:13.480
really it is on the continuum because Jeremy says well in a in a community where everybody agrees adultery is wrong
03:06:20.020
you can pass an anti-adultery law law but in the community where everybody agrees that child abuse is right
1.00
03:06:26.080
they're all wrong and somebody does I mean so obviously so obviously I agree with that but I also I think one of the
03:06:33.400
things that Jeremy and I also agree on is the is the power of localism and I think that one of the things
03:06:38.160
that has happened here is that the conservative movement has decided to nationalize every issue
03:06:41.360
because the left has decided to nationalize every issue and that's a disaster area in and of itself
03:06:44.720
except in cases where the non-harm principle is violated this is why I keep saying I think drag queen story
0.96
03:06:48.480
hour is a poor example abortion is a poor example the non-harm principle is in fact violated in those cases
03:06:53.220
you can be a full-on libertarian and still believe that children should not be dragged to burlesque
03:06:57.400
shows and believe that children should not be aborted the question really I mean this was the
03:07:01.300
debate that everyone had the conservatives at the end of 2019 which was should we have regulations on
03:07:06.400
pornography obviously we do currently 10 years ago we jailed a pornographer for obscenity at the federal
03:07:11.540
level and you still need an id if you want to buy a playboy but there are some people who say there
03:07:16.460
should not be regulations on pornography matt yeah and and I think the the the strongest argument
03:07:23.020
there in my opinion about the pornography thing that I I didn't hear anyone give a an answer to as far as I saw
03:07:28.660
was that uh it's an it is an issue of of consent and um and right now children if this stuff is all over the
03:07:36.100
internet then children will have access to it as they do we know that children you know on average I think
03:07:41.000
the age is eight now that they're exposed to hardcore porn which is insane um but children are not able to
03:07:46.780
consent to being exposed to that sort of thing just for the same reason that children aren't allowed to
03:07:51.500
aren't able to consent to being involved in a sexual act or participating in one I would say that
03:07:56.340
they that they aren't able to psychologically psychologically consent to being a spectator in a
03:08:01.540
um in a in a sexual act so I would say putting this stuff in the public domain automatically violates
03:08:09.200
the consent of children because you're you're putting it in a place where they can find it and
03:08:13.100
they can't consent to it so when they're exposed to it they are being abused for the same reason that
03:08:18.320
you have and I think that if the so-called uh common good movement on the right were to make
03:08:25.220
a suggestion that we should regulate uh the distribution of pornography to make it far less
03:08:31.360
accessible to children there's no argument they would get a lot of buy-in from even the most ardent
03:08:35.840
libertarian maybe not the very most ardent not not the folks of reason they would get a lot of buy-in
03:08:40.920
from all the people who they slander by calling them libertarians but but that's not what they do
03:08:45.060
the argument online is should we ban porn you're a pervert if you think the answer is no that there's
03:08:51.740
a major difference between banning porn like should we ban drag queens is a different question than
03:08:57.520
should we allow parents to bring children well then let me bring this then into both of these
03:09:02.660
arguments to the localism point which is do you think it is perfectly right and american and just
03:09:07.900
to allow local jurisdictions to pass their own regulations on pornography in their town or their
03:09:13.960
their it used to be that used to be certainly yes it's fine but you know i don't have a problem
03:09:17.800
with that especially because again pornography is not a core right but i think that when you get
03:09:21.040
into areas where core right is implicated yeah then then things change very quickly what's
03:09:27.660
interesting about this and the reason i call this such a huge health problem is the left actually
03:09:31.660
agrees with us but doesn't know it when they look at harvey weinstein they said oh how wonderful
03:09:37.560
that the jury was able to convict even though these women continued in a relationship with their
03:09:43.740
racist rapist and the reason they continued in a relationship with their rapist is because they
0.65
03:09:47.860
were all abused as children every single one of them every single one of the women that harvey
1.00
03:09:52.560
abused and then stuck with them had been abused as a child and that conditions you to think of abuse
03:09:57.980
as as affection and and that is the reason those people are in that situation and those are the
03:10:03.260
people that harvey weinstein fed off of it's all one thing and by the way nbc which killed the harvey
03:10:09.140
weinstein story because they were protecting matt lauer and abc which killed the jeff jeffrey epstein
03:10:14.480
story i mean are all participating in this and i think it's when we start to see right this is a
03:10:19.360
continuum i actually think there is a consensus to be at here well again i think that consensus is
03:10:24.040
largely i go back to the localism point i think the consensus is largely based on localism the
03:10:28.200
government the founders did create a when it came to these issues an extraordinarily weak federal
03:10:32.860
government when it came to issues of regulating speech very very weak when it came to the states
03:10:36.780
even most states have protections for speech in the state constitution when it comes to the local
03:10:40.480
level and you're regulating zoning like i don't know many conservatives who are like i'm anti-zoning
03:10:45.220
laws when it comes to a pornography shop next to my house like everybody's like nobody wants porn in
03:10:49.000
their local community i get it i'm for it i think right and and that's fine but i think that once you
03:10:53.680
start getting to the issue of what is government capable of doing and what should government do the
03:10:58.300
easy conflation of everything you'd want done on your local level with the federal government doing it to
03:11:02.020
everybody is a very very different issue it's a real problem and it's also a problem in an internet age
03:11:06.420
when pornography is impossible to ban across state lines yeah it's well it's actually not
03:11:12.660
we think that the internet is working a certain way yeah which is that everything is everywhere
03:11:18.120
local servers can absolutely preclude you from seeing sites that you could see if you were in a
03:11:24.700
different jurisdiction absolutely that was one of the things that the net neutrality fight was
03:11:28.820
actually about no right and we won that fight so you can say that you can look at pornography in san
03:11:34.040
francisco and can't look at it in redding california yeah they can absolutely make that happen can you
03:11:38.460
make it foolproof well no but did none of you have a playboy magazine when you were uh not even i've
03:11:43.820
never i read it for the articles my article being it was very hard to access it was hard to access
03:11:49.280
yeah what now amounts to not even pornography it's just making a catalog yeah it's basically victoria
03:11:54.100
secret but it was hard to access that when i was a teenager but you still encountered it you just
03:11:59.280
didn't have unfettered complete access like i had probably seen three naked women in a magazine by
1.00
03:12:04.480
the time that i was uh 13 or 14 not three or four or five thousand people engaged in the most defiling
03:12:11.500
acts ever right this is another place where i think conservatives make major mistakes the modern
03:12:16.020
because we're becoming very centralized in our focus which i think is one of the things that i want
03:12:20.960
to conserve against yeah is that is that we think is that we think everything has to be an all win or
03:12:27.400
i agree with you yeah i think we're all on the same page on this quick updates on california and texas
03:12:31.660
california was called immediately out of the gate for sanders the exit polls are showing uh bernie up 38
03:12:36.980
to 23 over biden which is a fairly large victory obviously for bernie it also shows uh warren crossing
03:12:42.920
the threshold but not bloomberg from from what i understand so that that is uh that's complicating
03:12:47.880
things for biden's final victory tonight also texas is incredibly close at this point and give
03:12:53.540
us your give us your final assessment of uh of where things stand well i just think winner tonight
03:12:59.300
uh who knows like it sounds like biden i and i think that i could easily be wrong about that but
03:13:05.820
i keep going back i keep thinking about elizabeth warren and uh just what an absolute fraud and
1.00
03:13:12.020
charlatan this woman is that she's got her ideological ally who she's she's siphoning votes
1.00
03:13:18.220
away from and that's the only function she's serving at this point i can't see any other reason
03:13:22.240
that she's there so once again she's uh i guess that's not really the headline of tonight but she
03:13:27.260
is exposed yet again as a as an as a total fraud which i can't wait i can't wait to read on uh the
03:13:33.940
media matters twitter feed tomorrow about this white man condemning a native
03:13:37.360
saying that she doesn't belong in the race uh matt thanks for hanging out with us uh pick up matt's
03:13:43.780
new book church of cowards a wake-up call to complacent christians and tune in to the matt
03:13:48.600
wall show right here at the daily wire matt thanks again thanks man thanks a lot guys see you matt by
03:13:53.040
the way some some breaking news from california 84 percent of latinos under the age of 30 who came
03:13:57.320
out to vote voted for bernie ah okay that is it that is a brutal showing for joe biden and it does
03:14:02.000
demonstrate that his youth appeal exists even if the turnout is not necessarily up so
03:14:06.540
hey can can we stop for just a moment to celebrate the fact that this is the publication
03:14:10.260
day of my book the nightmare feast this is the publication oh really publication what are you
03:14:14.620
doing here you were the only guys who would give me free booze that's all the nightmare feast tell
03:14:20.380
us a little bit about it it is the second book in the another kingdom trilogy it was a very popular
03:14:25.380
podcast yeah on our on our own daily wire and it's been brought out absolutely put out a beautiful
03:14:31.460
edition of it and uh it is the story of this uh failed screenwriter who walks into a magical world
03:14:38.520
and finds himself uh a hero he didn't mean to be and it's uh i'm i'm so proud of this book and i have
03:14:45.100
to say knowles who's going to be recording the audiobook um has done a great job in bringing it to
03:14:49.780
life well that's very kind it pains me as you know to compliment drew on in this sort of seems to
03:14:55.120
paint everybody massive way but the series is just magnificent i mean it's so so good there's a
03:15:01.940
reason why it jumped to the top of the charts when we put out that very first season there's a reason
03:15:05.460
it stayed very popular but when you get to it's one of these rare trilogies where the first one is
03:15:11.540
good the second one is better and then the third one is best of all but you got to read the second one
03:15:16.960

03:16:56.920
going to take tonight which you know with the sanders getting california he's got a lot of delegates in his
03:17:01.980
camp now but who you think will end up being the dnc nominee all right so now we have a really good
03:17:08.040
question i like this one a lot if biden becomes the nominee and because he's kind of running as this
03:17:12.460
moderate and everybody talks about him as being such a nice guy what ads do you think that the
03:17:16.260
gop can cut to show his true liberal colors well the clip that made our friend andrew breitbart who
03:17:24.580
by the way we just sell i shouldn't say we didn't celebrate it commemorate just commemorated the eighth
03:17:28.720
anniversary of andrew's death this week the moment that made andrew a conservative was the the attack
03:17:35.780
by biden and kennedy on clarence thomas back during the the anita hill hearings i think i think you're
03:17:43.300
going to see a lot of joe from the old days back uh it's a long history it's a long history one of
03:17:49.520
the problems of being in public life literally a hundred percent of your total years yeah is that
03:17:54.720
there's an awful lot to pull from yeah that's true and it's going to be interesting because the
03:17:58.280
left has played up anita hill yes who's making the allegations against clarence thomas so they've
03:18:02.560
tried to make her into some kind of hero and for all the conservatives and normal-minded people we
03:18:06.900
say it was so outrageous it was to use clarence thomas's words a high-tech lynching so that'll
03:18:11.540
come up i do think that his smearing of the the guy involved in that car accident i think that's
03:18:16.540
going to come up just on a personal level it's very ugly and then you know he's held every position
03:18:21.440
he doesn't really believe in anything and a lot of the views that he held in his career back in the
03:18:26.560
1970s are not going to play very well with progressives today you saw kamala harris drag
03:18:32.060
up busing that was probably not a smart policy to bring up because it was always unpopular but
03:18:36.440
there's a lot of other stuff back there and so the only one i disagree with you on is i disagree
03:18:40.320
with you that they're going to go after him about the drunken driving thing because no losing too close
03:18:44.420
to his family they're not going to touch that honestly i don't think they're going to touch the
03:18:48.160
clarence thomas thing i don't i don't think that's it yeah because i think it's too long ago i think
03:18:51.600
that that clarence thomas is not seen widely by the media as as a victim hbo made an entire series
03:18:57.080
trying to rehabilitate anita hill so i really don't think that's where they're going to go i
03:19:00.340
think it's going to be entirely about hunter biden and then i think it's going to be entirely about
03:19:04.000
joe biden saying that for example he would like to stop fracking they're going to run that ad
03:19:08.880
1 000 times in the state of pennsylvania i think that that the problem for biden is he doesn't say
03:19:15.660
as sort of unbridled things as bernie sanders does so it's a little bit harder to find and again
03:19:21.580
when he does he's so crazy and so out of it that it's like do you attribute that to an actual
03:19:25.060
position or do you attribute to the fact that man's nuts i think they're going to play that that ad
03:19:28.780
well yeah the fact that he's too old yeah and the fact that he can't string his sentences together
03:19:32.220
that for sure is going to come out and trump's not going to be shy about any of that and and that did
03:19:36.060
hurt hillary clinton right i mean all the questions about her health they refuse to answer this is the
1.00
03:19:39.780
part the hunter stuff is really going to be telling for for biden because it was i mean there there was a
03:19:43.700
study recently that looked at the words that people were using to describe various candidates
03:19:47.260
and for biden it was something like good guy and corrupt those were like the two and corruption was
03:19:54.540
definitely in the top three because republicans have been hammering the hunter biden stuff so hard
03:19:57.700
and the fact is every single person with the last name biden has been enriching themselves off the
03:20:01.560
back of joe biden so it's amazing it's incredible like his brothers his son like all of that stuff is
03:20:06.640
going to become serious campaign fodder it does neutralize the trump is corrupt attack yeah the attack
03:20:11.940
that that is going to be hard to neutralize is the trump is a mean person whereas joe biden is a nice guy
03:20:16.240
attack that one's going to be tough with women yeah you know i've always thought the one thing
0.63
03:20:20.240
about the bernie sanders i've always thought is that it was it's hard for trump to attack bernie
03:20:25.400
sanders on certain like on being like loud and crazy you know because trump is all those things
03:20:31.260
and he's kind of right back at you that's the one thing that bernie was kind of uh uh protected about
03:20:36.120
bernie still has a shot at being the nominee oh he does the way the night's going it's not it's not
03:20:40.520
shaping up as well for biden well he's he's won texas so they gave wasserman from the york times
03:20:45.400
just declared that he that biden won texas that was biden won texas that biden won texas
03:20:49.360
yeah but remember the delegate count is going to still be the delegate count so the new york times
03:20:53.300
right now is putting the delegate count at biden at 631 and bernie at 575 then the question becomes
03:20:58.920
the upcoming states and so we actually have to look to the the calendar the democratic presidential
03:21:04.420
election calendar so the states that are coming up after super tuesday just looking ahead are idaho
03:21:09.920
michigan mississippi missouri north dakota washington so you assume that washington is locked up
03:21:13.760
for bernie uh you assume that michigan is a is a dogfight because because biden really did right
03:21:19.380
well in minnesota so you assume michigan is a dogfight mississippi missouri will be blowouts for
03:21:23.460
biden right um and idaho will probably go for bernie you would imagine uh then you move on to
03:21:29.600
the next big states march 17th are arizona florida illinois and ohio uh ohio you would imagine would
03:21:36.020
be biden territory because it's very blue collar uh you would imagine that illinois is going to be a
03:21:40.300
battle particularly biden is going to do well in chicago obviously because again states with heavy
03:21:45.260
black populations in the democratic primary vote have been going very heavily for biden florida you
03:21:49.220
would imagine is a blowout in favor of biden and arizona you would imagine is is probably very
03:21:54.180
competitive because bernie has been doing very well with latino voters so the georgia is coming up
03:21:59.440
that's a biden state it's going to be a dogfight i mean this thing is not over yet new york is like new
03:22:04.820
york has tons of delegates we have an updated national map right now that we can look at for just a second
03:22:08.840
it's worth pointing out right now in texas bernie is still technically leading with their 39 percent
03:22:15.080
reporting it's a very very tight margin but he is still in the lead it's still when you consider
03:22:19.800
what was going on a week ago two weeks ago it's pretty impressive for biden and and again i think
03:22:25.140
it has more to do with bernie becoming the center of attention and people freaking out and it has to
03:22:31.100
do with his own party freaking out right yeah his own party looking at this and going this guy's a
03:22:34.440
nutty old commie yeah what have we been doing this it's also true that bloomberg's done even if he
03:22:38.380
stays in the race and keeps spending money because people will see him as unviable now what do you
03:22:42.640
think he'll do you think he'll drop i think i think i think tomorrow i think tomorrow and i think i
03:22:48.220
think warren will drop too i think i think it'll be down to it yeah i think because like what is
03:22:53.080
she gonna run the jill stein routine right like donate money to to me and my friends and i'll still
1.00
03:22:56.880
be president no matter what like that like i i don't think that's right so it's but what this night
03:23:04.480
showed is that bernie has a ceiling right that was the that was the rap on bernie he had a floor and
03:23:08.900
he had a ceiling and biden doesn't have a ceiling in those democratic primaries right he's been
03:23:12.840
winning over 50 percent in some of these democratic primaries bernie was is capping out in like best
03:23:18.500
case scenario for bernie like best case scenario aside from vermont bernie has not won more than 35
03:23:24.080
percent of a state right biden is capping out at 62 percent in alabama biden is capping out at 53
03:23:29.200
percent in virginia right these are these are big big numbers for joe biden and again the areas with heavy
03:23:33.440
turnout are joe biden areas not bernie sanders areas which does speak to the democratic priorities
03:23:38.360
right if the democratic priority were socialism then the turnout would have been up in iowa new
03:23:43.140
hampshire we always knew it was beating trump i mean it's always been beating trump right which is
03:23:46.420
again back to the main point of tonight president trump needs to run a great campaign what this also
03:23:51.820
might be the best possible outcome for conservatives which is some are rooting for bernie some are
03:23:58.000
rooting for biden really what you want is like the iran iraq war you just want mass
03:24:02.200
i will say this in defense of both men that we've seen these wild protesters now for anyone who's been
03:24:10.360
watching this show you may have missed it but when biden was giving his uh his speech tonight these
03:24:15.580
dairy free pro joaquin phoenix charged the stage charged the stage by the way simone sanders did you
1.00
03:24:21.340
see her no so so security wasn't there because why would they be there for the former vice president
03:24:26.080
and leading democratic presidential nominee so well done everyone the security did not do its job
03:24:30.280
these people charged the stage all credit to simone sanders she just hit him like a linebacker
1.00
03:24:35.160
i mean oh yeah she went in there and clotheslined the guy like said points to simone sanders a
1.00
03:24:39.480
bipartisan moment of appreciation for a solid upper body tackle right she tackles with the body not
03:24:44.200
just the arms she takes this lady down the entire staircase it's pretty fantastic so simone sanders
03:24:49.240
well done sanders and with biden i cannot believe that they're not protecting these guys yeah really
03:24:53.820
yeah it is it is incredible it is incredible but maybe they figure that nothing has been able to
03:24:58.340
kill them so far well we have someone who's going to join us here uh who has has good because we need
03:25:06.860
a we're all dying here uh he's my favorite cigar smoker my favorite uh philosophical voice on the
03:25:14.560
right he's also the founder of prager university uh which we we consider a sister company i mean some of
03:25:20.820
our not only some of our best friends but uh ideologically uh kindred uh friends dennis prager
03:25:27.080
is going to be joining us he's the host of the dennis prager show he's also never one to pass up a free
03:25:32.220
cigar one thing i know about him dennis thanks for uh thanks for joining us that you're entirely
03:25:37.440
right about the cigar i just hope it's the quality that i would expect i chose what i hope is
03:25:44.620
oh that no i can tell it's a padrone reserve that's a padrone reserve cigar okay all right bye
03:25:50.660
it's been great though so dennis my only question is can you talk continuously for the next half
03:25:56.880
hour perfect that is hilarious do it it's like can i make it happen our energy reserves are i i uh what
03:26:08.120
what is that oh no you're you you won't i know ben won't find this of interest but the question of
03:26:15.380
what type of cut you own a cigar that divides people it's a big it's a big i forgot you're a
03:26:20.840
v cut guy aren't you i'm v and bullet so i carry my own two bullets with me i go for the moil i go
03:26:26.860
for the moil i like the guillotine here i like the v too then your tongue is on rough tobacco
03:26:32.640
i was listening to you guys very fascinating analysis so what's going to be in california by the
03:26:40.220
way do you know what the lines are like hours long yeah i heard that because they have changed
03:26:46.180
the system i mean you know california you i have been living here for 35 years uh it took 10 minutes
03:26:54.920
for me to vote any time 10 minutes today it took uh an hour and there are people waiting hours four
03:27:02.780
hours because they have cut the number of polling stations by i think three quarters wow wow you're not
03:27:09.940
aware of this oh are you not aware of you know why yes yes i know why they want to make it easier
03:27:15.200
for people what is it they want to make it easier for oh yes you can now vote anywhere you don't have
03:27:20.860
to vote where you live oh that's that's that was the thing so of course they made it tougher
03:27:26.080
right yeah right well when the coronavirus breaks out tomorrow because these long lines of people
03:27:30.440
waiting there for hours coughing on each other it's all gonna have been worth it one thing they push
03:27:34.300
in california a lot is this early voting or mail-in voting i do it every year it's so easy i can't help
03:27:39.340
but do it but it is unfair to the candidates of course it is this state is complete toast i mean
03:27:44.180
the the exit poll today shows latino voters under the age of 30 sanders 84 percent war in six biden
03:27:51.660
five everyone else four wow so uh yeah the state's the state's and right now sanders leading in
03:27:56.940
california 27 and a half to bloomberg's 19.7 wow biden coming in 17 and the exit polls they're showing
03:28:04.460
the ones that i saw were 38 to 23 for for for bernie over over biden but again that that was
03:28:11.900
not wildly out of their own possibility as long as biden clears the hurdle if bloomberg and warren
03:28:16.840
clear the hurdle that's great for for biden right because that means that delegates get split a lot
03:28:20.360
more evenly he doesn't get that big clean win that he's looking for you're you're you're forgive me
03:28:24.460
your point about it being depressing the statistic you gave on latino young latinos
03:28:29.620
i can't tell you i i i could cry yeah that this is that they coming from latin america
03:28:38.840
it it it is so backwards it is like new yorkers fleeing the taxes of new york and then voting to
03:28:47.300
have those taxes in florida right it is the same you you you flee and want to reproduce what you fled
03:28:55.280
yeah it's it's why do you think it is we actually made a prager video about it uh many years ago
03:29:01.780
that's right oh yeah glad you remember that that is impressive prager university recommended by
03:29:07.540
samantha v god bless her what what's your theory that uh the nearly all of the world
03:29:18.060
uh does not believe in capitalism yeah the uh the uh or or liberty yeah the the american value system
03:29:28.020
is unique and we're losing it obviously because we're raising people to be like latin americans
03:29:35.200
and europeans and asians and everybody else so they come here and they don't know that why doesn't
03:29:42.140
the latino just say gee why is america working and my beloved honduras or brazil or or custer well
03:29:51.280
costa rica might be working but why they don't isn't it odd that they don't ask that question well i
03:29:58.480
think they do they because they assume that the answer is we got the good land isn't it just that
03:30:03.480
simple we got the good we got the good i think this is really what the left basically posits is that
03:30:09.440
unfair it's unfair we got the good stuff i never heard that actually we got the good land we got
03:30:14.500
the good land i don't know argentina is a pretty fertile place it was the breadbasket of latin america
03:30:19.800
for so many years i think when you talk to people from places like la raza and they say we're living
03:30:24.300
in occupied territory one of the reasons this is so important to them is because they right fertile
03:30:28.840
arizona that is like a bad joke the breadbasket of the grand canyon i've many times suggested
03:30:40.340
to my latino friends that if you moved the border south you'd be moving the line of the barrier the
03:30:46.800
border of prosperity south you'd basically be moving the good line the good land south that's right
03:30:50.820
well i mean israel is the perfect test case right that's right if you look just fly over it it's like
03:30:55.780
this complete sandy plain right this little green sliver you know it's like it's not the good land
03:31:00.660
yeah right that's exactly right i mean people don't know they look at tel aviv today tel aviv was i know
03:31:07.180
you know swamp literally swamp land they died of malaria the jews who came to settle there died of
0.99
03:31:14.400
malaria as i like the people building the panama canal yeah unbelievable you can see i mean even even
0.99
03:31:19.780
in non-agricultural terms i mean east and west berlin i mean they're they're perfectly obvious examples of
03:31:24.780
how policies make prosperity and the fact that people refuse to acknowledge this is is a serious
03:31:29.960
problem it's also true that the state of california has basically lied to the people who are growing up
03:31:35.040
in the state of california endless resources were the most were the most prosperous state in the union
03:31:39.240
we're able to pay for everything we're just going to provide you everything for free so why wouldn't
03:31:43.340
people vote for bernie sanders the state has been campaigning on bernie sanders for as long as i've
03:31:46.580
been alive basically at least since at least since the republicans lost gubernatorial power in the mid-90s
03:31:51.080
am i right in assuming we're all rooting for bernie sanders absolutely no i know i've been
03:31:58.060
rooting hard for biden very hard for biden because you think you'd be such an awful candidate no
03:32:01.860
because i because the so i'm assessing upside versus downside risk so here's my here's my basic
03:32:07.840
calculation let's say that trump is the favorite regardless of who he runs against let's say that
03:32:12.300
he's a slightly larger favorite against sanders or even a significantly larger favorite against
03:32:16.380
sanders than he is against biden so let's say that he's a 55 45 favorite against joe biden and let's
03:32:20.720
say that he's a 60 40 favorite against bernie sanders that seems sort of fair maybe 65 35 favorite
03:32:25.600
against bernie sanders and maybe that's a little too optimistic for trump maybe not let's assume that
03:32:31.000
the level of risk attendant on a joe biden presidency on a scale of zero to 100 is like a 75 and let's
03:32:36.960
assume that the level of risk attendant on a bernie sanders presidency is 100 and let's also assume that
03:32:42.320
when it comes to the actual nomination that most democrats are sort of in the joe biden wheelhouse in
03:32:46.720
terms of what they think but that if bernie sanders were nominated everybody would consolidate around
03:32:51.060
bernie sanders and start parroting his full-on communism and anti-americanism immediately in
03:32:56.240
the course of the campaign and that would become the new de facto normal in the democratic party
03:32:59.560
so with all of that said the slightly higher risk of joe biden as president is significantly outweighed
03:33:04.460
by the downside risk of bernie sanders as president and also the risk that the entire democratic party
03:33:08.380
centralizes around an open communist who hates even bernie as the nominee because i agree with that
0.98
03:33:12.120
second part that one of the lessons of 2016 that we is that during the primary parties yeah
03:33:17.360
that's right during the primaries many many people oppose sort of the trumpian agenda i have to think
03:33:22.220
about that yeah yeah noles and i are on the other side of this we we believe that i believe that we
03:33:27.700
should have the debate let's have you want to you want socialists let's let's come on out it'll be
03:33:31.860
hilarious i mean but but i don't think the debate will actually be had because first of all the media
03:33:38.320
have guarded bernie's communism for years i don't think that would stop in a general election
03:33:42.100
and because donald trump is not isn't an effective uh mouthpiece for ideology oh correct i don't think
03:33:48.400
he'll be a correct this is right he'd be attacking bernie on all of the affect that bernie that's right
03:33:53.620
you know but not on the ideas but but like he does say he's a crazy socialist yes but those are labels
03:33:59.400
that don't have you have to fill in the content for people to understand why socialism is bad it was
03:34:03.020
just shouting that he's a communist or a socialist isn't enough in an era when 57 percent of the
03:34:08.000
primary voters in the democratic party california based on what you just said what since you like
03:34:13.780
numbers and i do too what numerically so to speak if the greatest difference could be opposites or a
03:34:21.500
10 a likes or a one how different are biden's views and and bernie's views um i would say that
03:34:30.340
so a like is one yeah okay so i would say that they're like four what i mean by that is that
03:34:36.660
they're closer to a like than than different well because they're democrats they're closer to a
03:34:40.540
like different so so that in some ways challenges your theory it does but but it's but only in terms
03:34:47.620
of policy in terms of what they say about the country it's more like a six or seven and the
03:34:51.700
reason i say that is because biden will overtly say that free markets are good he has said that
03:34:55.700
during this campaign he has said that capitalism is a good thing and he's not opposed to capitalism
03:34:59.200
that in and of itself is actually i think good for the country to have two parties that don't
03:35:03.220
overtly oppose capitalism i also think that there's a little bit more to it country he doesn't hate
03:35:07.400
the country for the country he doesn't hate the country and i and i don't think they're as close
03:35:10.600
together as you do i think their rhetoric is i think one of the reasons yeah i was doing policy
03:35:14.540
one of the reasons that the democrats are trying so hard to stop bernie from becoming the nominee
03:35:19.420
is because they pay a lot of they run to the left and they pay a lot of lip service to leftism
03:35:24.280
but i actually think they fear sanders almost more than we do they don't want to be
03:35:28.060
by they i mean nancy pelosi and if you hear joe biden they don't want to be common do you remember
03:35:34.000
the original commercial that joe biden cut when he first jumped into the race his first commercial
03:35:37.600
which was which lied about trump and all of that but put that aside his original commercial was
03:35:41.980
america has been really good and was great under obama and then trump ruined it right but the initial
03:35:49.100
point which was that america has been a land that is good is fundamentally opposed to bernie
03:35:53.560
that effectively is something that in the that the british learned with jeremy corbyn is that
03:35:59.200
they found on the exit polls that it wasn't jeremy corbyn's policies right that people rejected it
03:36:04.580
was his hatred of britain this is exactly right like if you ask joe biden in a private area and
03:36:10.180
maybe even in a public area whether he's like totally on board with the 1619 projects vision
03:36:14.340
of the country and he weren't trying to stump for black votes at the time because he thinks that
03:36:17.780
that's a way to win them which obviously it is not then i don't think he actually agrees with the
03:36:21.800
generalized vision of the 1619 project i think that bernie commented on the 1619 project he made
03:36:26.380
very very soft comments about how you know i'm shocked he even knows about it like my my view is
03:36:33.160
that he he is truly empty yeah right i think he's the emptiest of of all the democrats that have
03:36:39.460
well steyer is a close but empty empty is better for the country than full-on no no no that may well
03:36:47.060
be i'm just i'm just commenting on him uh there were two types of politicians in my view those
03:36:53.660
who want to be politicians like some people would like to be lawyers and others nurses they just want
03:37:00.100
to be it and and others who have a message yep sanders is in the message right yes burn uh biden
03:37:08.700
wants to be a politician he doesn't believe in anything this is right yeah that's my belief
03:37:15.260
no this is you're exactly right he wants to have amtrak stations named after himself in delaware
03:37:18.720
yep right that that's his his career aspiration is to be president so that he can have highways
03:37:22.560
named after himself instead of just amtrak stations right this is not somebody who wants
03:37:26.140
to fundamentally change the country in any real way which is why he flamed out at every level until he
03:37:30.700
had the imprimatur of barack obama as the president you know leading to him being successful in this run
03:37:34.980
do you remember that he he made up a fact uh in his in his debate with uh with uh with ryan
03:37:42.500
yes all right you remember that the one where he talked about kicking it yeah well he talked about
03:37:46.880
how the french had kicked the the iranians out of lebanon yes which came as dramatic news to
03:37:52.020
everyone in lebanon which is currently dominated by hezbollah do you remember hearing it live yeah i
03:37:58.100
went what what now so yeah so what was your so i was like why doesn't paul ryan know to call him on
03:38:02.920
that was my first reaction honestly but i well i i admit what when i hear something that i have never
03:38:10.740
heard in my life it is so hard for me to believe that the human saying is lying i will admit i
03:38:16.740
i checked it i did thought i checked it may i guess i didn't know right i don't know what he means
03:38:21.920
i i remember doing the same thing i remember thinking to myself that's bullcrap and then i was
03:38:26.320
like but maybe it's maybe i missed it how could he so he does he does make up something so he does
03:38:32.800
lie with the joker grin with like an increase with an amazing alacrity he is very good and he did it
03:38:37.000
over and over in that paul ryan debate he was lying about things over like it was it was it was very
03:38:41.320
difficult to watch the paul ryan biden debate because i like paul ryan i know paul ryan he's
03:38:46.260
he's a nice guy but the fact that he was unable to in real time fact check biden saying things were
03:38:51.900
overtly false was very i agree paul ryan got beaten in that debate when when i look back at the other
03:38:57.460
uh controversial moment from those debates which is when mitt romney got shut down on candy crowley
03:39:03.760
oh my god i often hear people use that to criticize romney and say that he was weak that that's not
03:39:10.240
what happened it actually is what dennis is this is right he actually came back very strong obama he
03:39:15.840
said the thing obama hit him he came back incredibly strong then candy crowley jumped in on the side of
03:39:21.320
obama and i think that a human being in that moment exactly right yeah any decent human being in that
03:39:26.720
moment goes oh my god did i say something am i wrong right that's exactly i must be wrong and this is
03:39:31.460
the nice thing about being a politician is that if you're really good politician you don't care if
03:39:34.420
you're wrong that's right yeah and so and so if you're a good person you can't really be a great
03:39:37.940
politician because seriously your first reaction is someone criticized you go okay well let me let
03:39:41.940
me think about that maybe yes maybe that's correct if you're a great politician like whatever else you
03:39:46.320
can say about donald trump this is one thing that he has in spades the man has never met a thing he
03:39:51.380
thinks he did wrong like he just he doesn't and that's actually a real asset on the campaign it's
03:39:55.500
michael like michael bloomberg is not a good person but michael bloomberg even started this campaign with
03:40:00.000
like did i do all of these things wrong i guess i'll apologize for all of those things you can't
03:40:03.920
do that you have to go out there balls to the wall i know why couldn't he why couldn't i lost i i didn't
03:40:09.800
i never knew him well but whatever respect i had for him i no longer have from bloomberg uh but he can
03:40:15.300
buy it from you i mean that's a good point uh but that he couldn't say you know wait a minute
03:40:22.940
we saved a lot of law correct yeah yeah doesn't that matter to you no that's the question does
03:40:29.640
that matter to you my fellow democrats we saved lives this is his ticket though this is his ticket
03:40:36.700
into that is what you have to pay he was he was a decent mayor he preserved julian juliani took that
03:40:42.080
city from a cesspool to the greatest city on the planet and that was all juliani and his uh his police
03:40:48.800
commissioners and bloomberg didn't blow it right he managed the right that's right republicans save
03:40:53.940
things and that and in every country in the world conservatives are elected when things get really
03:40:59.220
really bad they fix it somewhat and then they're kicked out because people think oh now we can go back
03:41:06.000
then they elect clinton jatley right you get a clinton or a biden who maintains it for a while and then
03:41:12.180
you get the obama who just or the del blasio who drives it into the ground right it's a cycle
03:41:19.740
i will say the shudden fright of watching elizabeth warren collapse tonight is really
03:41:31.460
oh it's delightful it's really quite wonderful that you should mention schadenfreude
03:41:36.180
i i still have a little guilt over the amount of schadenfreude i had on 2016 night do you know
03:41:47.200
that at the election night i give you my word i did not watch fox news for one minute
03:41:53.200
and only to experience joy at others misery i i have worked on my character i'm not saying i'm a
03:42:04.620
terrific guy but i have worked on my character since yeshiva right where they just drum it into you
03:42:10.940
you need more sorry yeah exactly but that night everything i had learned in religious school
03:42:18.680
it was pure joy i am going to enjoy the the recriminations from camp sanders as they lose
03:42:25.860
their minds over the next well this is this thing this is going to be fun how he handles this is going
03:42:30.200
to define the rest of his campaign he's gonna lose his belief i mean he really is his can you imagine
03:42:34.140
michael moore tomorrow he won't be able to say that if bloomberg had done it he could have said we
03:42:39.640
were robbed he bought it no we're robbed by but he's what he's going to say is that the dnc came in
03:42:44.500
and exerted pressure on all these other candidates to get out and consolidate behind biden and that
03:42:49.620
biden offered and that biden offered them bribes which he did i mean there's no question he went to
03:42:53.420
people to judge and he said to pete booty judge listen dude you're in indiana you ain't winning a
03:42:57.200
statewide office you're not governor you're not senator so either you're carpet bagging it to
03:42:59.840
massachusetts or you're only shot at future glory is a cabinet appointment which is obviously true
03:43:04.140
for people to judge and budge went okay that's fair but he said that he said he said he said he said
03:43:08.600
yeah absolutely didn't budge judge deny he was offered anything yeah but then later that same
03:43:15.580
you know that tom did you read the column by thomas friedman you know who endorsing bloomberg
03:43:25.180
most say no no no no no the later column he said what we need is a national unity democratic thing
03:43:32.820
and here is who they should announce the cabinet now and and and so elizabeth warren will be i think
03:43:39.260
at hud uh whatever and you know department of the interior are you ready this is going to blow your
03:43:45.180
minds gentlemen thomas friedman of the new york times advocated what famous democrat to be to
03:43:55.040
be appointed ambassador to the un try to guess who is the worst choice of i'll try to make it as
03:44:02.160
clear the worst choice possible who and the person is in congress a democrat in congress it has to be
03:44:09.640
ilhan omar very close aoc this he considers himself a moderate oh my god this notion of a typical
03:44:18.560
democrat is okay so thomas a typical thomas friedman column goes like this i was backpacking
03:44:23.700
packing across the himalayas with the man i'd paid three three thousand dollars but don't worry it was
03:44:28.140
sponsored by the local government when suddenly i chanced upon a taxi driver and he had this very
03:44:32.020
wise thing to tell me about international economics that just so happens to confirm all of my priors
03:44:36.820
about international economics also i then went back to my five-star hotel ate some filet mignon had a
03:44:42.440
nice wine and wrote this column that's every thomas friedman column key point but on the way i realized
03:44:48.080
how hot it was every column no matter what goes back to global warming you could write about checkers
03:44:55.480
in madagascar and it goes back to global warming so we have alicia kraus uh taking questions from our
03:45:02.760
dailywire.com subscribers and we want to get a few in while you're here dennis great alicia yeah dennis
03:45:07.980
good to see you even though from afar they keep me up in the bat cave it's great to see you all right
1.00
03:45:14.320
but by the way before we get to those member questions from dailywire.com are amazing subscribers
03:45:19.240
over there as this night kind of wraps up here even though bernie sanders and his supporters are
03:45:23.440
apparently still waiting in lines by the droves at california polling places because people are
03:45:28.520
confused like dennis mentioned before over 500 people in line at ucla getting lots of uh people on
03:45:35.380
twitter saying that they are still waiting in line even republican people that are waiting in line
03:45:39.220
because we did have a couple of awful props guys i've been informed voting lines are good you get
03:45:43.620
to vote it's like bread lines bread lines are good you get bread so even though thankfully though when
03:45:51.180
people texted they didn't have to wait in line so we have some of the results from that text results
03:45:56.200
that we got of the of who our audience thinks is going to win the democratic nomination over the last
03:46:01.040
couple of days the results have stayed pretty steady across the board and with several thousand
03:46:05.720
votes coming in here are the results so drum roll please elizabeth warren two percent bloomberg is a
03:46:12.200
close third at three percent bernie bernie sanders came in at 29 and the majority of the dailywire
03:46:17.960
audience 66 of them think that biden is going to be the clear front runner and end up getting the
03:46:23.020
democratic nomination alicia could you please get me the telephone numbers of the three people
03:46:27.140
who went bloomberg because the amount that he must have paid them i want to pitch him on a movie
03:46:32.800
i was thinking were there really two percent who believe elizabeth warren will get it yeah i i was
03:46:38.560
thinking how large is her immediate family that might be it but i'm not sure they're following
03:46:43.360
how do they watch oh they might watch the daily wire because she has a military uh siblings right
03:46:48.240
oh is it her or is it klobuchar she always talks about her brothers are in the military yeah okay
03:46:53.280
oh yeah oklahoma right yeah that's another state she lost she lost both her home states
03:46:57.960
unbelievable elisha i mean elizabeth warren and i have a couple things in common oklahoma and
03:47:04.900
cherokee being a couple of those and i actually did the 23 and me so i know this that this is a kind
03:47:11.480
of funny question and it involves me so i'm going to ask all of you guys there's a daily wire member
03:47:15.900
who wants to know if i were to run in 2024 which yes i am now unfortunately old enough to do so which
03:47:21.380
is so scary which of all of you guys including the great dennis prager would fight to the death to
03:47:27.340
be my vp me i want to be vp i have been asked all of my career run for office run for office and so on
03:47:36.400
i do not want to be president i want because i have no interest in power i only have interest in
03:47:41.980
influence and you love funerals fundraising fundraising too god did he get the air out of my balloon
03:47:49.460
and as vice president i would just go around the world making the case for american values for
03:47:58.880
judeo-christian values and that's what that's what i want it's a great job you get a nice house i'm
03:48:02.960
sorry you get a great house i know i i had uh had dinner with the at the pences yeah it is a great
03:48:07.780
nice agreed you but anyway yes i'll i'll run with you that is fine at least i'll run with you but
03:48:13.020
watch your back actually ben and i used to say for a very long time that one of these days when
03:48:19.760
he's president i'll be the communications director or his children will take over the world and mine
03:48:23.940
will be like the communications directors because that's just how it is i actually think ben you
03:48:28.500
would be a terrible vice president because it really is about making people like you making people
03:48:33.780
like okay so there's one area this has been at a state funeral for elizabeth the second
03:48:40.440
accurate she's dead what is she she's dead what does she care
0.71
03:48:45.280
but but i would be great at one thing vp debates would be oh unbelievable right like like the point
03:48:53.280
if somebody nominated me for vp i mean that the job of the vp is to be the attack dog that's right
03:48:57.860
and like unleash the beast my friend all right so of the four of you who's the most lovable
03:49:03.700
true yeah clearly he's the closest to death so we have the least time to wait for it it was clear
03:49:08.160
you all it's it's without question really wow well i mean that's i mean that talk about a dog's
03:49:14.560
choice right there you've got jeremy who gets his kicks firing people moles the least likable person
0.95
03:49:21.800
on earth and be the person who hired him and drew is like a drew's like biden but with slightly
03:49:27.920
more lively overtones i can i can remember who is my wife exactly we're three years removed from
03:49:32.400
him slurring his way gets it who would be the vp i've been saying sherrod brown is the smart pick
03:49:36.880
senator from ohio that is a smart pick that's the smart part of sport because you need ohio you need
03:49:41.640
ohio ohio has been non-competitive since obama days uh you win ohio you probably do well in
03:49:46.780
michigan you probably do well in pennsylvania he doesn't really need to lock up the black vote the black
0.97
03:49:50.900
vote likes him right i mean obama's gonna be out there campaigning oh good i forgot about that
03:49:55.440
so you really you really gotta if i were him i'd be sharing brown it's such painful he's terrible
03:50:00.760
he's terrible awful there's another option though virginia virginia is going to be very important to
03:50:06.140
win so he could choose ralph northam if he wants some racial diversity on the ticket and then
03:50:10.900
yeah then he gets the black vote he does yeah well you know he has a strong position on infanticide
1.00
03:50:18.620
very strong very strong alicia wow back to more serious things speaking of vp by the way do you
03:50:28.640
guys see this crazy thing that paul begala said that he thinks yes that trump is putting pence in
03:50:34.020
charge of handling the coronavirus outbreak so then uh he can replace him with nikki haley i have to say
03:50:39.660
that did flash into my mind when he gave him that job wait wait why so that he would contract the
03:50:44.820
disease i'm missing a link here it's a thankless job the disease is the virus has got to spread right
03:50:52.720
so it's you're gonna he's gonna get blamed for something along the way so i just thought the
03:50:57.480
minute they put him i had the same i don't think that i don't i don't believe that i don't believe
03:51:03.120
that's why i did it no just there's no way it demonstrates such weakness in a presidential
03:51:09.220
candidate to dump their vp it's a desperation move not gonna happen the way that i know it's not
03:51:13.220
gonna happen is that paul begala said it was yeah he said it was an absolute guarantee too
03:51:18.100
he said it's an absolute guarantee well it's also uh donna brazil say she should go to hell
1.00
03:51:22.360
to ronna mcdaniel the chairwoman of the republican party she actually said go to hell on television
03:51:27.240
wow and as as well pointed out on twitter she confused imply ronna mcdaniel was pointing out that
03:51:32.440
it's gonna be chaos at the democratic convention and that the democrats can't make up their minds
03:51:36.320
and it's a mess and so brazil got very angry at the factual statement that the democratic party
03:51:42.700
said that she said stay the hell out of our primary republicans and you go to hell ronna
0.99
03:51:47.200
and then she reiterated it too yeah see they can get away with that they can that is the amazing
03:51:52.000
i mean dennis i i would be remiss if i did not point out that donald trump is the president of
03:51:55.940
the united states he's gotten away with a few things you know the national review he doesn't get away
03:51:59.640
with it because the press he's the president he kind of got away with it well he gets away with it in
03:52:03.620
that he survives but he doesn't get away with it in that it's not attacked by press constantly right
03:52:09.060
but that's also true that's also true if he doesn't curse right i mean i'm sorry that's also
03:52:12.580
true if he doesn't curse trump but it's not i agree it's you know this donna brazil thing
0.90
03:52:18.800
yelling at ronna mcdaniel it's not a headline people watching politics know what happened i mean
03:52:24.260
it happened on fox news for goodness sake i mean joe biden has actually threatened to punch
03:52:27.680
donald trump yeah and that's not a headline first of all i would totally watch a physical fist
03:52:31.980
fight between donald trump and joe biden it would be the most amusing thing because all that life
03:52:36.580
energy it would be like watching from not exercising it's like watching pangolins on roller skates like
03:52:42.260
just watching them swing on each other and joe biden just the can you imagine the amounts of
03:52:48.800
insure that will have to be imbibed just to provide the life energy for that fight to go forward i mean
03:52:53.100
that is that is i would be so amused like the walkers with the tennis balls flying at each other and
03:52:58.380
it's just it's alicia i'm curious do you find and i'm this is totally serious do you find biden in
03:53:06.900
any way appealing uh i think that megan mccain and obviously being a good friend of mary catherine
03:53:14.240
ham and other people that have experienced grief and i think matt walsh touched on this earlier
03:53:18.700
when he talks about grief and family and faith i believe him but you know i'm i'm too hardcore pro-life
03:53:26.140
and love love the 2a and the first amendment too much to pull the lever for him but ben brings up
03:53:30.800
a good point he's brought it up before suburban women kind of like joe biden and donald trump
0.98
03:53:35.460
has consistently had a problem with suburban women including women that have typically voted
1.00
03:53:39.640
republican in the past well right earlier in the in the show i made the case to drew that that biden
03:53:45.080
is biden is strong in precisely the areas where trump is weak that sanders is a lot weaker in the
03:53:51.660
areas where right right that's a big deal that is that is a big deal he's very strong with minority
03:53:55.820
voters he is very strong with older voters actually he's he's very strong with suburban
03:54:00.460
women those are all areas where trump lacks and i can't really see biden doing worse than hillary
03:54:05.960
clinton in a lot of ways right hillary was really off-putting and really terrible and for all the
1.00
03:54:11.020
talk about joe biden he's basically a dead person yeah and right it's hard to get really that exercised
03:54:15.280
about a dead guy and he and he has suffered yeah and he's likable he's likable every single person
03:54:20.120
i've talked to oh i don't find him likable at all i only find i only understand though alicia's point
03:54:25.880
about the suffering yeah and he's just but i don't find him likable in the least i think he's he i think
03:54:31.380
he is a fraud he is a phone he's he stands for nothing that bothers me he stands for elizabeth
0.72
03:54:37.060
warren stands for something sanders stands for something he stands for nothing he stands for
03:54:42.340
being elected the purpose of his life is to be elected yeah since he was 29 years old that's correct
03:54:47.300
since he was 29 years old you know for people who are like that though who just live to get elected
03:54:51.680
and they'll change their positions and yes they do develop this skill the fact that joe biden is still
03:54:57.020
around that he's right now winning super tuesday shows you if his only job in life has been to get
03:55:02.580
people to like him he has succeeded at that job also also more than that the the very pitch against
03:55:08.800
him is the pitch for him in the sense that you're you're saying he doesn't believe in anything
03:55:12.780
right that's the pitch i mean really like do you find that deeply threatening a man who doesn't
03:55:17.860
believe in anything if bill clinton didn't believe in anything and he was repealing he was repealing
03:55:20.980
capital gains tax increases by 1997 right finger up and feels where the winds are blowing so and then
03:55:26.820
he takes that position right and so it's hard to get like okay well we got to stop this guy or the
03:55:30.700
country's over uh nope no i don't think nope not this year he's done in past okay well that proves my
03:55:37.320
point no of course you're exactly right of course i mean he's never taken a hard but i mean just watch
03:55:41.320
him on the crime bill which was one of his chief achievements and then him running directly away
03:55:44.520
from the crime bill okay yeah he's done this his entire career but again the fact that he's just a
03:55:50.000
typical politician who's 80 years old and non-threatening i haven't said he's all wrong
03:55:53.920
and he's connected to the obama and he's connected to the obama era he's got that halo around him and
03:55:58.460
all of this like the the media's reaction to trump is it's not true but the media story about the last
03:56:03.860
15 years in politics is that there was the horrible bush era particularly the last couple of years when the
03:56:09.620
economy collapsed and then obama came in and had a scandal-free gloriously clean honorable and
03:56:15.740
dignified written administration and then along came donald trump and he broke all of the fundamental
03:56:20.160
institutions of the united states and donald trump is not only out of the box he's cruel evil and
03:56:24.660
corrupt and so if you just want a restoration of what was if people believe that entirely they
03:56:28.960
wouldn't have voted every democrat on earth out of office during the obama era they liked obama
03:56:33.960
everybody liked obama but they didn't like his policies right but but joe biden is running as
03:56:38.680
obama not as obama's power well if you're rooting if you're like me and you're just rooting for mass
03:56:42.120
casualties let's look at the numbers coming out of texas right now uh the idea of this thing going
03:56:46.900
all all the way to the convention they're within one point of each other right now yeah but that argues
03:56:52.900
for biden because yeah sanders was supposed to win texas big yeah i think ultimately biden prevails
03:56:59.220
but i want it to be as bloody as possible between here and there and then it's a romp yeah because
03:57:04.340
that the bloomberg people are not going to vote for sanders well and also add just buddha judge and
03:57:08.900
amy you add those two in there and you've got almost 10 but that's not how it's going to work
03:57:12.240
because the fight at the convention will be over total delegates right right and if you can keep
03:57:16.200
if you can keep bernie bernie morality of delegates bernie's jack himself he made the argument that the
03:57:20.300
delegate leader in the clubhouse should take the nomination yeah and now he's not going to be the
03:57:23.320
clubhouse leader yeah democrats are never held to a standard i'm not kidding no bernie can say
03:57:28.560
whoever has the plural i can't do it whoever has the plurality must be the only person in america
03:57:32.540
who can't do a bernie sanders impersonation one it's anti-semitic though if i do it
03:57:35.800
i don't believe that for one second tennis i guarantee you you you grew up you grew up in
03:57:41.600
new york you can 100 percent do a bernie put a frog in your throat and move your hands and speak
03:57:46.260
slowly you can totally do it i don't believe for one second you can't do it by the way what is his
03:57:50.960
accent is it a new york it's a brooklyn accent yeah he's got the brooklyn going on i grew up in
03:57:56.340
brooklyn but this is what i'm saying if you applied your mind to this denis i have great faith in you
03:58:01.140
you're right if i did right my grandmother had uh you know what she'd be my grandfather
03:58:06.660
you and you and uh bernie sanders actually have quite a lot in common you both grew up in brooklyn
03:58:12.600
you both spent time in the soviet union that's right that's such a good point yeah we breathe
03:58:17.880
you breathe that's great you're both very proud jews dennis you're a proud jew and so is
03:58:22.780
exactly yes he says proud jew that is a proud i don't even know what that means do you know what
03:58:28.520
my bar mitzvah i'll never forget this one of the gifts i got was great jews in sports a book
03:58:35.080
it's a thin book very large i'm not joking i had a copy very large remember mitzvah very gigantic
03:58:40.700
pictures a lot a lot of you will find this of interest maybe maybe even you will
03:58:45.760
i had no interest in it and i'm i'm a very active jew introduction to judaism and english i found it
03:58:53.220
at a jewish school i mean my life has been in jewish life but i had i have no ethnic uh pride it
03:59:00.580
doesn't mean anything to me that uh benny leonard was a jewish boxer or al rosen was a great third
03:59:08.640
baseman and jewish i don't understand why i don't think that way no i i love i love the torah i love
03:59:16.900
the ten commandments i i love jewish contributions to the moral world i totally agree with this
03:59:21.480
obviously huh i totally agree with this obviously can i just i said that i said that bernie i said
03:59:25.140
bernie sanders on my show is as jewish as a ham sandwich because he is that perfect yes he's
0.98
03:59:30.400
ethnically jewish yes who cares noam chomsky's ethnically right yes and soros but can i can i break in
03:59:35.660
here and just say that my grandfather is in that book no i'm sorry he's a hockey player he was a
03:59:41.880
basketball player for nyu yeah and he was in he was in the great basketball player for nyu
03:59:47.760
great jews in sports you know there are not many great jews it's like sandy kovacs that's my grandpa
1.00
03:59:54.080
one of the things that we're seeing happen in the country right now that i think is
03:59:58.560
is a negative and is is heartbreaking to me and it's happening on the right is the sort of right uh
04:00:04.240
the rise on the on the right of a white identity and i and i think about it sometimes in relation to
04:00:11.420
judaism or christianity i don't see myself as a christian in any sense other than that i believe
04:00:17.460
in christ i i guess that if i were in israel on a vacation and the y2k happen and tax cuts and net
04:00:24.760
neutrality all the same time civilization just collapsed into a zombie apocalypse and the jews
1.00
04:00:30.300
decided that they had to purge christians out of the holy land and they started pursuing us to to
1.00
04:00:36.240
kill us on the basis of our christianity probably for the first time i would look at some other
04:00:40.020
christian and go we ought to team up we ought to be on the side right right i get it in my day-to-day
04:00:45.880
life yeah not in any way am i affected by that but i think that the left because they have teamed up
04:00:52.340
to attack the white man yeah and one of the things that's happening in reaction to that is that
04:00:57.020
this sort of white identity politics thing is starting to form and it's a very dangerous well
0.57
04:01:01.200
it uh forgive me i just want to say i have actually thought about writing about about that
04:01:09.340
in this way yes whites have done all these terrible things but i'd like you to just know all the
0.99
04:01:16.000
uniquely great things that they did i would be called a white supremacist right that's right so you
04:01:21.300
can you can only attack whites you cannot defend whites you know it's interesting they obviously
0.94
04:01:28.040
this white identity movement which is very small i don't think it's really happening on a large scale
04:01:32.620
but it's a reaction to leftist racial identity politics and they say wait a second you keep
04:01:36.880
condemning us you keep saying that we are an identity group so maybe we should take you at your
04:01:41.140
word leftists what's interesting is a lot of the leaders of it you can look at them a lot of them
04:01:45.820
grew up in foreign countries so they grew up in places where they didn't look like the people
0.99
04:01:49.480
which which i think fosters a separate identity obviously in america that's just that has not
04:01:54.560
been the uh the custom but i think it is happening in response to a left which is which has become
04:02:00.420
hysterical about racial identity politics no it's the most racist philosophy i can remember in my in
04:02:05.320
my lifetime like i remember the real anti-black racism in the south a little bit but this stuff
04:02:11.000
about whiteness isn't yes it's disgusting yes but i was taught in college that not almost nothing is
04:02:17.400
new new new is that there are 56 genders i'm not being cute yeah right but there's almost nothing
1.00
04:02:22.400
else is new uh i went i was at columbia in the early 70s columbia university and the uh we were
04:02:29.060
taught i was taught as as as a given like e equals mc square a black cannot be racist
04:02:36.040
did you know that you didn't know that i've heard that this this is a given it is a given this is right
04:02:42.680
because racism is is belief in the inferiority or superior of race plus power well they added so
04:02:49.400
what they do is they add the plus power right so that immediately right so they said plus power
04:02:53.260
so then i'd say that that okay so we're blacks have power in africa can they be racist no okay
04:02:59.580
so it's a lie because because they're because their exercise of power in the in the new term
04:03:05.200
is a direct reaction to the exercise of power by white people in the old term so if you say
04:03:09.040
that seizing white african or farmers land in south africa is a racist policy and burning them
04:03:15.780
or or that zimbabwe is pursuing racist policy for example then they will say well that's not racist
04:03:21.240
policy because that's just a response to colonialism right it's a reactionary response to colonialism
04:03:25.480
in the same way that folks in the united states it's obviously not the same argument nor to the same
04:03:29.400
extent but the the analogy is correct that and for folks in media matters the word analogy doesn't
04:03:34.840
mean they're exactly equal it means they're analogous okay so the analogy that i'm about to
04:03:39.560
make is to affirmative action so if you so the argument by the left is that if you that if you use
04:03:44.320
overt racial terminology in affirmative action if you say that this black person should get in but
04:03:48.880
this asian person should not but that's not actually racism because that's just white people
04:03:53.160
who are complaining that they've lost the power to run the system themselves now that other people
04:03:57.560
run the system and are doing it for their own benefit now they have problems with it but before
04:04:00.860
they didn't it's like well those aren't the same white people first of all like i'm very
04:04:03.880
offended by this notion that i'm the same white person as the person 50 years ago who is not
04:04:07.180
letting black people into college like that like i'm not that like i'm not that person so who are
0.97
04:04:11.380
you discriminating against you're discriminating against people and by the way you're discriminating
04:04:14.640
against asians where was the great asian hierarchical power of 1942 banning black people from being
04:04:20.700
privy to the gi bill like what are you even talking about yeah i i spoke at purdue last year
04:04:26.200
and last month the purdue student paper the exponent the you'll love this the vice
04:04:33.220
provost i gotta get this it took me a while to memorize the vice provost of uh of diversity and
04:04:41.920
inclusion wow wrote that he was at my lecture he wrote this like eight months later and i said
04:04:49.440
that slavery was not bad so i have had that sounds just probably thousands of people huh sounds just
04:04:57.040
like you yeah that's why i wrote a commentary on exodus to show that god loves slavery that was
04:05:04.200
exactly that was my whole point it's a bestseller so the uh so you will love this so i i fight back
04:05:13.460
and uh i i i wrote a piece on this real clear politics published it as well as uh you know you
04:05:19.960
guys which i'm very grateful for and and town hall and so on and anyway uh uh thousands i'm sure a
04:05:27.560
thousand people wrote to the president of of mitch daniels the president of of purdue and so finally
04:05:34.960
last week i got a letter uh because uh the guy wrote to me after the original deluge of letters
04:05:42.000
uh you know what let's why don't we just get together for a drink and i and i so i wrote back
04:05:49.100
if i would have said as a jew that you said the holocaust wasn't bad and i then invited you for a
0.87
04:05:57.260
drink would you accept or would you demand that i apologize so i demand that you apologize finally
04:06:04.140
after all this pressure including from the president of purdue i get a letter last week you know i may
04:06:09.920
miss i may i sent him a video of the talk no yes and and he said i watched the video and i may
04:06:17.160
have misunderstood so that was it that's the apology wow isn't that astonishing and not public
04:06:23.760
and not public wow so so this is these are the rules that govern the left the guy is black so of
04:06:30.700
course you can't i didn't even know he was black when he wrote the thing i looked him up what relevance
04:06:35.520
does that have anyway who cares yeah of course well it only cares in that it makes him
04:06:39.700
even less attackable yeah oh yeah that's where it matters yeah i mean you and i because we speak
04:06:44.860
on campus we have the same experience a lot so i mean i spoke at boston university and i gave an
04:06:49.760
entire speech about how america was based in 1776 not 1619 it was directed against the 1619 project
04:06:54.780
half the speech was about the evils of slavery i suggested that we put frederick douglas on the
04:06:59.900
currency which we absolutely should do frederick douglas is a great american hero or booker washington
04:07:04.080
yeah booker washington would be great um and people protested and called the speech racist anyway
04:07:09.220
they suggested i was making light of slavery after i spent literally half the speech talking
04:07:12.380
about the horrors of slavery and the evils of jim crow because the the definition of racism today
04:07:17.500
is a belief that people should be treated as individuals and not on the ground yeah that's
04:07:21.640
right right the there is a list from the university of california of microaggressions
04:07:27.780
things that are really racist even if you don't think they are and one of them is you can look it up
04:07:33.360
anyone watching could look this up and this statement is considered racist there is only one
04:07:39.360
race the human race yeah wow no which is the essence of non-racism of non-racism and of every
04:07:48.120
biblical judeo-christian valley i know did you watch joaquin phoenix cows are people too
04:07:52.580
what was that did you watch joaquin phoenix's speech at the oscars cows are people too that's true
04:07:58.720
cows are people too i know i missed that oh yeah the oscars he got up there and he talked about
04:08:03.260
how it was cruelty to drink milk and put milk in your coffee because cows are cows suffer you know
04:08:08.380
what's interesting about that is you know there's this book you've all cows suffer if you don't milk
04:08:12.240
them yeah i know i'm sorry i'm sorry i you know it's my farming background great jewish farmers i'm in
04:08:20.340
that you know there's this book sapiens by uval harari yeah and he yes he has this whole thing where
04:08:27.580
he talks about women as humans with uteruses and only mythology has caused them to have female roles
04:08:34.380
in society but he then goes on to talk about the passionate love that ewes feel for their lands
04:08:39.920
it is classic that if you deny humanity you elevate animals to this human level but it was crafted by
04:08:47.680
the mythology that's what i keep saying who told the ewes the mythology somebody needs to write a
04:08:52.720
critique of that book i did you did i did in city journal like i mentioned it i wrote an article
04:08:58.640
just just on that book or in passing no it was about it was called can we believe about whether or
04:09:03.980
not religion whether or not faith had become obsolete because of science and oh god and uh and that was
04:09:11.480
one of the main books i said so we're not going to get results from california that lines are too long
04:09:17.520
