Trump has won the Iowa Caucuses, and now it s time to figure out who he s going to back in 2020. Former Vice President Joe Biden drops out of the race, and Ron DeSantis finishes in a distant second place.
00:17:36.660The time he was going to run was going to be now.
00:17:40.080But it was a once in a century moment when an incumbent, when a former president was running for a non-consecutive second term effectively as an incumbent.
00:17:51.600Which is how the voters clearly are treating him.
00:27:10.160Plagiarized his PhD thesis, which now is a bigger issue because we just booted the president of Harvard University for that.
00:27:20.420So, yeah, those are all the knocks on him.
00:27:21.900The man also did really great things, though.
00:27:24.160But in the age of debunking, in the age of demystifying and disenchanting, we ignore the great things.
00:27:29.980We ignore the great things George Washington did.
00:27:31.620We ignore the great things Lincoln did.
00:27:33.020We're certainly going to ignore the great things Martin Luther King did.
00:27:35.280And so that would be the reason why someone on the right might be a little skeptical of King.
00:27:39.260And then the left has hated Martin Luther King for quite a while now.
00:27:42.100Because even though King was presented for some time as a left-wing figure, now the left is not so interested.
00:27:48.720And I have a dream that we won't be judged on the color of our skin.
00:27:51.120Now the left is much more interested in Malcolm X than they are in Martin Luther King.
00:27:56.460Now, rather than seeing Martin Luther King as a symbol of a major progressive victory in the 1960s, they see him as an impediment to real radical change.
00:28:09.920And the left now is far more radical than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago.
00:28:55.240What are we going to build up in their place, if anything at all?
00:28:58.620Because it's a lot easier to destroy than it is to build.
00:29:02.060Now, speaking of black guys and Christianity, Lil Nas X, the rapper who infamously made a music video of him getting violated by the devil himself.
00:29:17.940Lil Nas X then said he was becoming Christian and he was going to go study the Bible at a Christian college.
00:29:25.300And he made a big media campaign about this.
00:29:26.780Even though the college said, we've never heard of this guy.
00:29:44.340So, first of all, when I did the artwork, I knew, like, there would be some upset people or whatnot, simply because, you know, religion is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people.
00:29:59.320But I also didn't mean to, like, mock this wasn't like a, f*** you to you people, f*** you to the Christians.
00:30:11.280Like, you know, it wasn't, it was not that.
00:30:14.380It was literally me saying, oh, I'm back.
00:30:18.680And I will say, though, with the communion video with me eating the crackers and juice, I thought that video was going to be the video to lighten the mood, to take it down, like, less serious or whatnot.
00:30:34.040Now, I thought that was something that we all wanted to do as kids or whatnot, but I didn't understand the idea of, you know, the reality of what it is.
00:30:45.140You know, it's me eating the communion, which is, like, the symbolism of, like, Jesus's blood and bones or something like that.
00:30:52.120I don't remember completely, but I did not mean it to as, like, a cannibalism thing or whatever the freak.
00:31:17.180I made this music video right after I made this video where I was getting violated by the devil.
00:31:23.240And I made another music video where I put satanic imagery all over the place, including in heaven, and presented myself as Jesus on an upside-down crucifix.
00:31:32.760So a satanic image there and had all sorts of devils in heaven.
00:33:59.280Now, speaking of religion and atheism, possibly the most famous atheist in the world has just suggested that he might become religious.
00:34:10.240This would be Richard Dawkins, one of the four horsemen of the new atheist movement.
00:34:17.200There was Christopher Hitchens, who was wrong about a lot of things, but at least he was entertaining.
00:34:22.360And so, the late Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett was the philosopher of the bunch, Sam Harris, who's gone a little bit off the deep end, and Richard Dawkins.
00:34:51.640Ayaan Hirsi Ali was one of the big figures of atheism.
00:34:54.680In the mid-2000s, when atheism was really fashionable, when Hitchens was public, and Dawkins and all those guys were publishing their books and going on TV and hosting debates about how religion is bad and God doesn't exist.
00:35:06.560And they were making weak arguments, but it was a publishing fad.
00:35:12.000And Ayaan Hirsi Ali was out there, too.
00:35:14.280And then Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a few months ago, we covered it on the show, she became a Christian.
00:35:18.760There are a lot of people who were firm atheists who have at least weakened in their atheism to the point of saying,
00:35:25.480Okay, well, I'm agnostic, or I think Christianity is good, I just can't quite believe, or I'm a cultural Christian because I recognize that atheism is not sufficient to sustain a civilization.
00:35:34.700Some have gone further, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, to say, No, I actively am Christian now.
00:35:38.480And even Richard Dawkins, the most famous living atheist, says, Maybe there's something that I still have to learn when it comes to religion.
00:35:52.400Atheism is a luxury of a once-in-an-epoch period of peace and material prosperity.
00:36:01.580That's when it cropped up, at the very peak of American prosperity and global peace.
00:36:08.900And it was just at the very tail end of it.
00:36:12.300But we were making so much money, and everything was calm, and America was the unrivaled global hegemon, and everyone was just kind of an atheist.
00:36:22.760And then Muslims attacked the United States, and because it was politically incorrect to attack Islam uniquely,
00:36:30.800there was this final attack on all religion, all superstition.
00:36:36.200It was all the kind of, the language of the Enlightenment, the language of the decadent parts of modernity.
00:36:42.200It was all religion as total nonsense, you know.
00:38:26.320Now, speaking of professors, there is a Harvard professor who has just given the most perfectly liberal take on the entire public square at, where else?
00:38:42.400The World Economic Forum, where liberal elites from all over the world gather in Davos to decide how to run our lives.
00:38:48.900We'll get to that in one second first, though.
00:38:50.180You know, as a father, I am quite concerned about the kind of messages that my kids are exposed to in the media.
00:38:55.880That is why I'm thrilled about Benkei, the new kids streaming entertainment app from The Daily Wire.
00:38:59.340Right now, you, too, can check out the entire world of Benkei for free for 14 days.
00:39:04.680Benkei is the only kids streaming app that you can trust to provide quality content that aligns with your beliefs and worldview.
00:39:12.440You won't find any gender confusion, any climate hysteria, or social justice propaganda on Benkei.
00:39:18.040Just premium quality content that kids will love and parents can trust.
00:40:27.420A Harvard professor on a panel at the World Economic Forum is going off about the danger posed to society by Twitter, by conservatives being able to speak somewhat freely about anything, anywhere.
00:40:46.900For a long time I was on Twitter, and now it's become such a toxic place that I've concluded it's not a worthwhile place to spend time.
00:42:08.960Listen, I, I want a healthy Republican party, but this Trump man, he's scary.
00:42:13.020No, you're just saying he's scary because he's the guy now.
00:42:15.820Just like you were saying Romney was scary.
00:42:17.800Just like you were saying McCain is scary.
00:42:19.820Also guys that you previously had liked.
00:42:22.180Now you like, sort of like them again because they turned on Trump and you know, okay, fine.
00:42:26.700This goes all the way back to the Goldwater campaign where the libs trotted out some guy and they said, he said, I am, I wish I had a clip of the, of the, the ad.
00:42:34.760I, you know, I am a lifelong Republican, but this Barry Goldwater man, he's scary.
00:43:22.260It's very scary, very scary to the left.
00:43:24.040Now, they're plotting at Davos how to control our lives and implement all sorts of new instruments in politics and corporations and universities to control us.
00:43:38.660One of the main ways they do that is through DEI.
00:43:41.820And the CEO of United Airlines has just promised that he is going to implement DEI all throughout his company, up to and including the cockpit.
00:43:50.820How is diversity and diversity targets working into the Aviate Academy?
00:43:56.200We have committed that 50% of the class of the classes will be women or people of color.
00:44:02.280Today, only 19% of our pilots at United Airlines are women or people of color.
00:44:07.140And by the way, from all the data I've seen, that's the highest of any airline in the country.
00:44:11.140White males don't just dominate in the cockpits.
00:44:12.800Also in the C-suite at United Airlines.
00:44:15.340Well, look, at United, I'm proud of the diversity that we actually have in our C-suite.
00:44:18.920I think if you look around corporate America.
00:44:21.000Correct me if I'm saying, though, so this is just based off your website, the people you list as executives.
00:44:24.160But out of 11 people, three are women.
00:44:39.520One of the things we do is for every job when we do an interview, we require women and people of color to be involved in the interview process.
00:44:48.000Bringing people in early in their careers as well and giving them those opportunities and creating a stronger bench.
00:45:21.900Because what DEI says is, we're going to make you use diversity, equity, and inclusion standards to deprioritize merit when you hire someone or admit someone to university or bring someone into your club.
00:45:36.620We're going to deprioritize merit because we're boosting sex or race or sexual behaviors or whatever.
00:45:46.240However, some liberals have tried to argue that DEI actually accentuates quality and merit.
00:45:52.700That is logically impossible because the entirety of what DEI is, is saying there are other considerations that you should place above merit or candidate quality.
00:46:09.220DEI in restaurants means that you value diversity more than your dinner.
