00:00:37.940 After President Trump's rally last night in Phoenix, Arizona,

00:00:41.460 it is being reported that the entire mainstream media have been admitted to urgent care for a massive overdose of covfefe.

00:00:48.260 We'll report as new details emerge.

00:00:50.100 Plus, Antonia Okafor, Amanda Prestigiacomo, and Jacob Airey join the panel of deplorables

00:00:55.760 to discuss ESPN's removing an Asian sports reporter because his name is Robert Lee,

00:01:01.880 the possible pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio,

00:01:04.360 and Hillary's endless whining that the American people rejected her. 0.79

00:01:08.240 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:09.060 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:10.140 I cannot possibly describe how much I loved this rally last night.

00:01:22.940 I actually, I wasn't even watching it live.

00:01:26.040 I was at an event at the Hollywood Bowl,

00:01:28.020 and a buddy of mine in New York, my friend Bill,

00:01:30.340 we've worked on a million campaigns together, good old Republican,

00:01:33.380 he texts me, he says,

00:01:34.340 I hope you are smoking a cigar and watching this right now.

00:01:37.240 It is extraordinary.

00:01:38.980 It is Trump at the heights of his powers.

00:01:41.260 I know that all the shows today are going to be talking about this.

00:01:44.060 I don't care.

00:01:44.700 I don't care if we're all doing the same show.

00:01:46.500 I love it so much.

00:01:48.000 There's actually too much good stuff in it to talk about.

00:01:50.480 There's the Joe Arpaio stuff.

00:01:52.260 There are the protesters outside who just rioted for no reason.

00:01:55.840 They didn't have any Nazis to fight against.

00:01:58.700 This rally actually reminded me a little bit of President Trump's excellent speech he gave in Rome.

00:02:04.360 Do we have it in ancient Rome?

00:02:07.240 Are you not entertained?

00:02:09.340 Are you not entertained?

00:02:13.300 Is this not why you are here?

00:02:15.020 That is exactly why I am here.

00:02:16.780 That is the only reason I am here.

00:02:19.100 It was so, it was just a wonderful,

00:02:20.960 we had last night, or two nights ago rather,

00:02:23.940 his speech about the Afghanistan policy.

00:02:25.740 It was very good.

00:02:26.460 It was sober.

00:02:27.160 It was presidential.

00:02:28.340 He became humble for the first time in many of our eyes.

00:02:32.040 He acknowledged that he was going to change directions.

00:02:35.320 He wasn't going to tell people what his plans were.

00:02:37.920 He wasn't going to let the terrorists know when he was getting out.

00:02:39.840 And then he gives pure covfefe campaign today.

00:02:43.200 And he masterfully plays on the entertainment of politics, the retail politics.

00:02:49.440 Not the sort of stuff that they talk about on CNN,

00:02:52.560 not the sort of things that we talk about in think tanks,

00:02:54.740 but just the stuff of politics that make people tune in,

00:02:59.120 that make people turn off reality TV and watch the best reality TV show out there.

00:03:03.020 So how did the media react?

00:03:05.940 I don't know which was more fun,

00:03:07.600 watching the speech or watching the reactions.

00:03:10.340 This was, so I woke up this morning and I just took a look at cnn.com and washingtonpost.com.

00:03:16.760 Now these are headlines just from above the fold.

00:03:20.220 It's kind of hard to tell what above the fold is now

00:03:21.820 because we don't have physical newspapers,

00:03:23.100 but these are the main headlines on the website.

00:03:25.880 I'll just run down them from CNN.

00:03:28.380 Chris Eliza says,

00:03:29.220 Donald Trump's 57 most outrageous quotes from the Arizona speech.

00:03:33.260 And in that piece, he says,

00:03:34.440 full of invective victimhood and fact-free retellings of historical events.

00:03:40.340 This is literally the first line of his speech, literally.

00:03:44.020 And then it's just a bunch of whining about how Donald Trump punched them in the face.

00:03:48.680 Other headlines on cnn.com this morning.

00:03:50.880 These are all same morning right next to each other.

00:03:53.220 James Clapper calls Trump speech downright scary and disturbing.

00:03:57.040 Russian ambassador downplays Trump relationship.

00:03:59.520 I don't know why we're talking about Russia again,

00:04:00.720 but they have to distract from this rally somehow.

00:04:04.120 Hillary Clinton,

00:04:04.920 my skin crawled when Trump stood behind me.

00:04:08.300 Trump hasn't stood behind her since debates nine months ago,

00:04:11.920 but they brought this back up to try to get Trump's excellent speech out of the news.

00:04:16.300 Melania Trump's thanks,

00:04:17.520 Chelsea Clinton,

00:04:18.520 for defending Barron.

00:04:19.880 I guess Donald didn't defend Barron.

00:04:21.800 Thank you,

00:04:22.360 Chelsea.

00:04:23.300 Meghan McCain slams man at Trump rally who called for her father's death.

00:04:27.820 Don't know who the man was at the Trump rally.

00:04:30.000 Probably nobody.

00:04:30.800 Doesn't really matter.

00:04:32.300 I'm not sure why we care what Meghan McCain thinks about this. 0.94

00:04:34.960 And what is this relevant?

00:04:36.900 Why is this relevant after Donald Trump has addressed serious points in that rally and

00:04:42.920 actually made some news?

00:04:44.780 And then,

00:04:45.320 of course,

00:04:45.500 Trump can stay sane for approximately 24 hours.

00:04:50.660 If this is insane,

00:04:51.780 bring it on.

00:04:52.520 Admit me to an asylum. 0.69

00:04:53.980 Washington Post similarly reports on there above the fold headlines.

00:04:59.580 As Trump ranted and rambled,

00:05:01.900 his crowd slowly thinned.

00:05:04.140 I didn't see that.

00:05:04.900 I don't know.

00:05:05.200 I was why maybe the cameras weren't good enough where I was.

00:05:07.540 And the only people I saw outside were the rioting leftists.

00:05:10.280 I didn't see a lot of Trump's.

00:05:12.040 I didn't see a lot of MAGA hats walking around filing out of the auditorium.

00:05:15.320 Another one.

00:05:16.100 Trump's vicious attack on the media shows one thing clearly.

00:05:19.540 He's running scared.

00:05:21.160 Is that Marshall?

00:05:21.760 Is that the feeling you got at that rally?

00:05:24.060 He's running scared?

00:05:25.300 Yes.

00:05:25.980 That's it.

00:05:26.720 Maybe we were watching different rallies then.

00:05:29.280 He is vicious attack on the media.

00:05:30.680 He's running scared.

00:05:31.860 Doesn't seem to be running to me. 1.00

00:05:32.980 Seems like he's standing his ground and punching these jerks in the face. 1.00

00:05:36.680 Quote, 0.99

00:05:37.000 James Clapper questions Trump's fitness, worries about his access to nuclear codes.

00:05:41.880 I'm not worried.

00:05:42.840 President Trump is deteriorating before our very eyes.

00:05:45.520 Didn't you see him melting there?

00:05:47.340 All of these headlines, by the way.

00:05:48.740 Is that like biologically?

00:05:49.900 Is that what they mean?

00:05:50.720 That might be what they're talking about.

00:05:52.020 I think they're projecting.

00:05:53.340 I think it's all psychological.

00:05:54.680 I think all of these headlines are referring to themselves.

00:05:57.940 They look at President Trump and he is a mirror and they see themselves deteriorating,

00:06:02.940 turning into nothing.

00:06:04.140 Another one.

00:06:04.720 Trump's attacks on GOP senators are self-defeating.

00:06:08.380 I'm not sure about that.

00:06:09.780 We haven't in all these special elections that have come up since the election.

00:06:13.040 The people who have supported President Trump and who President Trump has supported have won

00:06:18.120 Republican candidates for high office.

00:06:21.420 And it seems to me that there's no reason not to believe that President Trump will have coattails

00:06:25.680 in the future.

00:06:27.140 Trump in Arizona shows just how unfit he is.

00:06:30.340 I didn't see that.

00:06:31.060 Hillary Clinton calls Donald Trump a creep, saying her skin crawled during a debate nine

00:06:36.840 months ago that we're reporting on for absolutely no reason.

00:06:39.840 But the best of all were none of those headlines.

00:06:42.880 The best of all was CNN's Don Lemon.

00:06:45.940 What we have witnessed was a total eclipse of the facts.

00:06:50.320 Someone who came out on stage and lied directly to the American people and left things out

00:06:56.620 that he said in an attempt to rewrite history, especially when it comes to Charlottesville. 0.83

00:07:01.620 He's unhinged.

00:07:04.720 It's embarrassing.

00:07:05.960 And I don't mean for us, the media, because he went after us, but for the country.

00:07:10.440 This is who we elected President of the United States.

00:07:13.360 A man who is so petty that he has to go after people who he deems to be his enemy, like an 0.99

00:07:19.220 imaginary friend of a six-year-old.

00:07:21.540 His speech was without thought.

00:07:23.360 It was without reason.

00:07:24.560 It was devoid of facts.

00:07:25.940 It was devoid of wisdom.

00:07:27.220 There was no gravitas.

00:07:29.200 There was no sanity there.

00:07:30.660 He was like a child blaming a sibling on something else.

00:07:34.600 His imaginary enemies.

00:07:36.260 You know his imaginary enemy, the media?

00:07:38.440 Speaking of rewriting history, what's going on down in the South right now?

00:07:41.820 Does Don Lemon have any self-awareness whatsoever?

00:07:46.140 Does Don?

00:07:46.820 He's saying we're not, the media aren't the enemy.

00:07:49.500 And he's giving this bizarre, he's saying President Trump is so emotional, he's unhinged.

00:07:53.680 Listen to this craziness from this, just like a child.

00:07:58.080 Don Lemon himself behaving like a child before he gets to analysis.

00:08:01.940 Clearly this was ad-libbed or was written during the speech.

00:08:05.640 He couldn't have prepared it beforehand and certainly didn't seem prepared enough beforehand.

00:08:10.540 And this is nothing new, by the way.

00:08:13.200 It's not that CNN, I think CNN wants to paint the picture that they're reacting to President

00:08:17.660 Trump's totally uncalled for attacks.

00:08:19.880 Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at CNN's Brian Stelter.

00:08:25.600 President Trump's actions and inactions in the wake of Charlottesville are provoking some

00:08:30.560 uncomfortable conversations, mostly off the air, if we're being honest.

00:08:35.760 In discussions among friends and family and debates on social media, people are questioning

00:08:40.540 the president's fitness.

00:08:42.340 But these conversations are happening in newsrooms and TV studios as well.

00:08:45.720 Usually after the microphones are off or after the stories are filed, after the paper's been

00:08:50.540 put to bed, people's concerns and fears and questions come out.

00:08:56.100 Questions that often feel out of bounds, off limits, too hot for TV.

00:09:03.080 Questions like these.

00:09:04.160 I can't believe we got Brian Stelter on that hot mic, because these conversations, they're

00:09:19.700 happening off the air.

00:09:20.980 They're happening away from the microphones.

00:09:22.740 I can't believe he's by the way, he he's so cogent and articulate for being off mic, totally

00:09:27.200 off the cuff.

00:09:27.880 Right.

00:09:28.160 And it's it's almost beyond parody.

00:09:32.160 I don't know how much more I can say about this guy, but the self seriousness of it.

00:09:37.800 And he's saying, look, honestly, they're happening off camera.

00:09:40.920 If they're happening off.

00:09:42.040 I don't know how there's enough time in the day because all of that which is on camera

00:09:46.080 are these same conversations.

00:09:48.240 But to say the total obliviousness to say that these things are happening off camera and

00:09:53.320 then to spout all of this conspiratorial nonsense into the camera, regular CNN, John Nolte has

00:10:00.360 for years claimed that CNN is ISIS and Hitler.

00:10:03.520 I don't know.

00:10:03.740 That might be a little too. 0.97

00:10:04.420 I think they're incompetent.

00:10:05.620 I think both ISIS and Hitler were much more competent than CNN.

00:10:09.120 But his antipathy toward them is perfectly understood.

00:10:12.840 And so James Freeman at The Wall Street Journal compiled a handful of examples that refute

00:10:20.640 a number of what the a number of things that CNN has said about this.

00:10:24.120 Now, let's see if those conversations are off the air.

00:10:28.000 First, this comment.

00:10:30.140 The American press is stronger than any demagogue, but President Trump's attacks do present real

00:10:36.720 challenges.

00:10:37.480 That's what today's program is about.

00:10:39.580 Poison.

00:10:41.100 That's what it is.

00:10:42.840 It's a verbal form of poison meant to affect your view of the media world, meant to harm

00:10:48.800 news organizations.

00:10:50.480 Off the air again, I guess.

00:10:52.240 He's got to watch out for these hot mics, Brian Stelter. 1.00

00:10:54.900 Maybe it's his Amazon Echo or something.

00:10:57.400 He's picking all of this up.

00:10:59.140 Poison, he calls it.

00:11:00.100 I'm glad that CNN is running away from hyperbole.

00:11:03.300 Now, it isn't just this guy, though.

00:11:04.700 It isn't just these new guys, Don Lemon and Brian Stelter.

00:11:08.340 Here is Carl Bernstein, good old Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame, having a sober discussion

00:11:15.200 about President Trump.

00:11:16.540 Carl, I want to come to you.

00:11:17.800 You're in Los Angeles this morning.

00:11:19.440 You have been thinking about this, talking about Trump for months as a neo-fascist.

00:11:24.780 I want you to tell me why and how you view this current moment.

00:11:28.740 Well, it's a difficult term.

00:11:31.120 And the word neo, meaning new, has a lot to do with a new kind of fascist in our culture,

00:11:37.160 dealing with an authoritarian, demagogic point of view, nativist, anti-immigrant, racism,

00:11:45.140 bigotry that he appeals to.

00:11:47.880 I will never forgive Bob Woodward for inflicting Carl Bernstein on us.

00:11:52.240 I will never forgive.

00:11:53.020 He gave Carl Bernstein a little byline 50 years ago, 40 years ago.

00:11:58.280 And now he's inflicted him on us forever to give his hysterical and hackish points of view

00:12:04.900 all over air.

00:12:06.060 Not just those guys.

00:12:06.880 How about a presidential historian, a scholar, the historian contributor to CNN, Douglas Brinkley?

00:12:13.460 Help us out.

00:12:14.080 How do you convey what's going on with the Trump White House?

00:12:18.260 It's an utter disarray.

00:12:20.260 And you can't really compartmentalize everything because it's all morphed together as Donald

00:12:25.560 Trump unfit for command, in my opinion.

00:12:28.660 I mean, you could go look at Godfather.

00:12:31.400 Let me be clear.

00:12:32.360 You said he's unfit for command.

00:12:33.980 I think so.

00:12:35.280 Let me be clear.

00:12:36.020 Could you repeat that again, please?

00:12:37.300 I need you to say on air again, he's unfit for command.

00:12:39.420 Now go back to talking about the mobsters that you just referenced.

00:12:42.180 Wait, Michael, could you repeat that one more time?

00:12:43.680 Oh, yeah.

00:12:44.040 I'm sorry.

00:12:44.720 Brian Stelter and this historian guy from some school in Texas says Donald Trump is unfit

00:12:49.540 for command.

00:12:50.140 But it's an imaginary enemy.

00:12:51.720 It's an imaginary opponent.

00:12:52.960 I don't know why.

00:12:53.540 Donald Trump, he's attacking like a child, his imaginary friend.

00:12:57.300 I don't know why he thinks that the mainstream media are just Democrat hacks out to get him.

00:13:01.860 Now, Brinkley, by the way, is not just the voice of the academy.

00:13:06.320 He's not just the voice of presidential history.

00:13:08.620 He's also the voice of the American people.

00:13:10.220 She's reminding us that one of Donald Trump's curses, I think he's brought to Washington,

00:13:16.860 is the shrinking of the power of the presidency.

00:13:20.680 People used to really look up to the executive branch.

00:13:24.480 And now every day, Donald Trump seems to be doing something to make it look smaller.

00:13:29.520 They really used to look.

00:13:30.940 Didn't you look up to Barack Obama, Marshall?

00:13:33.260 Yeah.

00:13:33.740 During those eight years, you used to look right every day.

00:13:36.760 My neck started to hurt.

00:13:37.760 I was looking up to him so much.

00:13:39.480 Now, this does seem a little confusing to me because beginning basically with the election

00:13:44.860 of Barack Obama, certainly after the Affordable Care Act, Democrats started to lose every single

00:13:49.440 election they tried to run.

00:13:50.800 So they lost a thousand seats in state legislatures across the country.

00:13:53.960 They lost a ton of governorships.

00:13:55.980 24 out of 32 Republican state legislature states went to Republican governors.

00:14:01.380 They lost the Congress.

00:14:02.120 They lost the Senate.

00:14:02.720 And they ultimately lost the presidency.

00:14:04.040 So it seems to me that perhaps not all of the American people looked up to that past

00:14:09.020 president.

00:14:09.700 It seems to me that perhaps Douglas Brinkley and CNN have no idea what at least half of this

00:14:14.840 country thinks.

00:14:15.960 And that's why this country loathes them.

00:14:18.140 And it's why they clearly hold at least half of this country in utter disdain.

00:14:22.920 Now, this is my favorite one of all.

00:14:25.880 This is my favorite projection onto Donald Trump from these Democrats and these hacks

00:14:31.140 and these mainstream media journalists.

00:14:32.900 But I repeat myself.

00:14:34.200 There's been questions about the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, whether or not he should

00:14:39.460 be removed for medical reasons.

00:14:41.100 Senator Corker is a real leader among Republicans.

00:14:44.000 And it was very brave of him to step out and really talk about the fact that we have an

00:14:48.760 incompetent president.

00:14:50.520 And what does that mean for our country? 0.96

00:14:51.960 The medical front, look, we all know he is a neon billboard for, you know, overt narcissism.

00:15:00.180 So brave.

00:15:00.760 Get him the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

00:15:02.280 I can't handle the bravery.

00:15:03.260 It's so I'm overwhelmed by the courage.

00:15:05.940 Now, there are two things in this that are pretty astounding.

00:15:10.460 And this is coming from Douglas Brinkley, the, I assume, psychiatrist, since he's diagnosing

00:15:15.800 the president on air.

00:15:16.940 Or no, he's just a hack historian at some college and a poor journalist.

00:15:21.540 No, there are two points here.

00:15:23.720 One, he's talking about narcissism.

00:15:26.200 Barack Obama wrote his first memoir by the age of 33.

00:15:30.460 He wrote his second book about his favorite subject by the age of 45.

00:15:34.700 As far as I can tell, all Barack Obama has ever written in his entire life are books about

00:15:39.260 himself beginning right after he graduated college.

00:15:41.800 Um, but on the other side, there are, there is the media, which always talks about how irresponsible

00:15:49.660 Trump is being, how, how rash he's being, he's shooting from the hip. 0.69

00:15:52.860 And then they bring on some historian to diagnose, uh, Donald Trump with narcissistic personality 0.92

00:15:59.020 disorder on air.

00:15:59.960 And that's fine. 0.95

00:16:01.140 I'm more than happy to imply that Barack Obama is a narcissist.

00:16:04.420 I'll say it explicitly, but CNN is purporting to present objective journalism and they could

00:16:10.880 not be further from that.

00:16:13.140 I have a lot more respect for MSNBC because when I go to MSNBC, they're pretty upfront with

00:16:17.400 what they think.

00:16:18.280 Daily Wire, we're pretty upfront with what we think, but CNN, it's just, look at that

00:16:21.880 panel that they had.

00:16:23.120 My panel of deplorables is much more balanced than that CNN panel.

00:16:27.820 And we do not go for balance.

00:16:29.300 That is not, not our, uh, our strength here.

00:16:32.020 And so president Trump, he stands up to all of these guys.

00:16:34.700 He pokes them in the eye.

00:16:36.280 He he's a master at politics and engaging this country.

00:16:40.500 I don't know that he's a master of policy.

00:16:42.540 I don't know that he's a master at white house strategy.

00:16:44.840 I don't know that he understands the beltway lunch club people at all that he might not

00:16:48.980 understand any of that, but he does get politics.

00:16:51.860 And I think a lot of people, basically none of those people we've seen on CNN understand

00:16:55.220 it.

00:16:55.460 They don't understand politics, which is the art of relating to people.

00:16:59.160 Of talking to people, of hearing their concerns.

00:17:01.320 It's the essentially human art.

00:17:03.820 It's what separates us from the animals as politics. 0.79

00:17:06.420 And president Trump communicates to them directly.

00:17:09.500 He skips by all of their filter and, uh, can engage with the American people.

00:17:13.840 With that, we have got to bring on our panel of deplorables for this, especially Covfefe

00:17:18.900 show.

00:17:19.640 We have Antonia Okafor, Amanda Prestigiacomo, and Jacob Airy.

00:17:23.820 Thank you for coming on.

00:17:25.100 Antonia, has the mainstream media always been this crazy or is Trump uniquely driving them 0.72

00:17:31.780 insane?

00:17:32.100 Uh, I think definitely that they have gone to a different level with the, the Trump administration

00:17:42.620 and, uh, the presidency.

00:17:44.400 I think that they feel like now they are allowed to show their crazy to the full extent.

00:17:49.200 So, and people will buy into it and they'll get a lot of money for it.

00:17:52.740 So, uh, I think it works for them.

00:17:54.720 It, it works for them to, to play into the hysteria of, of Trump and, and what he does.

00:18:00.140 And, and I remember hearing that broadcast.

00:18:02.300 My mom, like I said, is very liberal and progressive and listens to CNN every day. 1.00

00:18:06.300 Um, and, uh, I remember on Sunday, like, I know it's really hard.

00:18:11.400 It really is.

00:18:12.280 Uh, we'll talk about that later, but, um, and them really saying like, does Trump have 0.97

00:18:17.560 a mental illness? 1.00

00:18:18.820 And me just being like, what the heck? 0.98

00:18:21.720 Seriously, we're in this era when we're having this conversation.

00:18:25.160 Like I'm going to go to pray to Jesus after this.

00:18:28.200 I'm going to church.

00:18:28.860 It's Sunday morning.

00:18:30.100 I don't want to hear this nonsense.

00:18:31.780 Um, but basically that's what we're hearing all the time and it's becoming normalized.

00:18:35.560 So we live in an era, we live in an era where mental illnesses are actual mental illnesses 0.83

00:18:41.320 are completely normalized and it's a bigotry to suggest otherwise.

00:18:44.440 But yet when the president says we need to enforce our laws, that is signs that he is

00:18:49.600 lost his marbles.

00:18:51.540 Uh, Jacob, why Arizona?

00:18:53.920 Why now?

00:18:54.640 Right after the Afghanistan speech, a week after Charlottesville, why is he giving this campaign

00:18:59.740 like rally in Arizona?

00:19:01.280 Well, I was reading an article earlier today and it said that it reminded everyone that

00:19:06.820 is really where Trump's campaign took off.

00:19:09.380 He had, uh, launched his campaign.

00:19:12.460 He was very low in the polls and then he did this rousing speech in Arizona.

00:19:17.040 And that is what really propelled him into top tier status during the 2016 GOP primaries.

00:19:23.800 So I really, uh, think that's why he did it.

00:19:27.320 He remembers the city well, and don't forget that crowd, all his MAGA supporters, that was

00:19:33.300 an electric crowd.

00:19:35.100 They were there to support him.

00:19:36.960 And one thing I would like to note is, uh, Douglas Brinkley, he's not actually a Texan.

00:19:42.160 He just plays one on TV.

00:19:43.400 He's actually from Georgia.

00:19:44.540 I just wanted to point that out.

00:19:45.880 That's an important distinction.

00:19:47.180 I was there.

00:19:48.160 I was in Phoenix about three days ago.

00:19:49.620 If I had thought about it for five seconds, I would have stuck around for the rally.

00:19:53.520 It is true.

00:19:54.780 A lot of people there carrying their guns and wearing their MAGA hats.

00:19:58.380 I saw it was, it was nice to be in a refreshingly sane part of the country.

00:20:02.820 But your, your point is right, Jacob.

00:20:04.940 He is, he's playing to his strengths here.

00:20:07.060 He's clearly really good at these rallies.

00:20:09.100 He's, he's playing to his core competency.

00:20:11.660 Amanda, why is he so good in this format?

00:20:14.480 He's pretty good at Twitter.

00:20:15.500 Twitter's a mixed bag.

00:20:16.460 He can be great and he can be pretty cringe inducing at times.

00:20:19.100 He gave that very solid Afghanistan speech, but he is electric in these rallies.

00:20:24.500 They're clearly, he's better than anybody we've ever seen do them.

00:20:27.840 Why is he so good at them?

00:20:29.140 Why are these rallies the medium for Donald Trump?

00:20:33.180 Yeah, I mean, he's been doing this his whole life.

00:20:35.800 I mean, he was literally on WWE.

00:20:37.820 I mean, he's an entertainer first and foremost.

00:20:39.920 So this kind of stuff is just second nature to President Trump.

00:20:43.260 And it really does just bolster his base.

00:20:45.260 I'm sure there were a lot of people within his base who were worried after Bannon was outed

00:20:49.460 because they felt like there was no one there speaking to that populist base.

00:20:52.260 And there really was no difference.

00:20:53.840 He was talking about ripping up NAFTA.

00:20:55.700 He was talking about the wall, shutting down the government.

00:20:57.500 If we don't get the wall, Sheriff Arpaio.

00:21:00.040 So, I mean, this was just kind of reinvigorating his base.

00:21:03.040 And like you said, I mean, this is Trump.

00:21:05.780 This is second nature.

00:21:06.620 This is why with no political experience, he made it to the White House.

00:21:10.420 He is an entertainer.

00:21:11.500 He can captivate his audience, and he knows how to directly speak to people like he's

00:21:15.500 been doing his whole life.

00:21:16.900 It certainly reinvigorated me.

00:21:18.600 I was at the bowl listening to the L.A. Philharmonic do The Planets.

00:21:22.560 And as I'm listening to just the bringer of war and destruction, I'm reading all these

00:21:27.180 Trump tweets, and I couldn't possibly be more reinvigorated.

00:21:30.660 All right.

00:21:30.960 Our next story.

00:21:31.840 I'm sorry.

00:21:32.180 Go ahead.

00:21:32.820 Oh, there was one point where I get, I mean, I saw it in a tweet from a reporter, but

00:21:37.100 I didn't see all of it.

00:21:38.260 But I guess apparently Trump said that CNN is not even airing this rally, and it was

00:21:43.980 live on CNN.

00:21:44.960 He saw it.

00:21:45.480 And he's just trolling the media so well.

00:21:48.280 It's just so funny.

00:21:49.180 I did hear that.

00:21:49.240 Oh, those lights are going off.

00:21:51.100 Those camera lights are turning off.

00:21:53.360 He just messes with them.

00:21:55.420 So our next story we have to talk about was brought to my attention by Antonia Okafor.

00:22:00.920 It is the best story I've read in a long time.

00:22:03.060 But if you don't subscribe to The Daily Wire, then you can't see it.

00:22:08.340 You have to go over right now to thedailywire.com.

00:22:10.840 Thank you to everyone who's already subscribed.

00:22:12.700 You can go and watch the rest of the show live.

00:22:15.060 It's $10 a month, $100 a year.

00:22:17.400 You get me.

00:22:18.240 You get Andrew Klaben.

00:22:19.400 You get The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:22:20.760 But forget all of that.

00:22:21.660 All of that is worth so much less than this, the finest compartment for beverages known

00:22:29.140 to man that has ever graced the face of the earth, the Leftist Tears Tumbler.

00:22:33.820 It keeps your Leftist Tears hot or cold.

00:22:36.580 And it depends on the time of year.

00:22:38.060 Sometimes in winter, I like them hot with some marshmallows on top.

00:22:41.760 In the summer, I prefer iced Leftist Tears.

00:22:44.180 You can keep either in here.

00:22:45.780 They are always salty and delicious.

00:22:47.640 Go over right now to thedailywire.com.

00:22:49.820 You will get all of those things.

00:22:51.780 We'll be right back.

00:23:03.300 You know, first thing in the morning, I wake up and typically my first thought is Antonia

00:23:08.640 Okafor.

00:23:09.160 So I go to Twitter and I'm so glad that I did because Antonia brought this story to my attention.

00:23:14.440 ESPN has confirmed that it pulled Asian American sportscaster Robert Lee off of the University

00:23:21.960 of Virginia's home opener football game, quote, this is them copping to it, simply because

00:23:26.580 of the coincidence of his name.

00:23:30.080 Amanda, is there any role for parody left in the world? 1.00

00:23:33.060 Or has ESPN transcended that, smashed that, and left us all babbling idiots? 1.00

00:23:40.300 Yeah, it's over. 0.99

00:23:41.820 I mean, last night, another writer for the Daily Wire, we were just going back and forth

00:23:45.800 and we didn't know if it was real.

00:23:47.440 She's like, should I even go forward with this?

00:23:49.360 I'm like, no, no, no, no, it can't be real.

00:23:51.180 And then it ended up, you know, she got an email from ESPN that it was real.

00:23:55.260 I mean, we didn't even believe it.

00:23:57.460 Basically, this guy has a, you know, a traditionally Asian last name.

00:24:01.520 So he was punished because it resembled a Confederate general.

00:24:05.260 I mean, it's unreal.

00:24:07.440 It's beyond parody.

00:24:09.180 You know, I think they wanted to prevent this from becoming a meme and having people

00:24:12.960 talk about Robert Lee.

00:24:14.240 But as a result, if you get a chance to go on Twitter today, the visual memes that people

00:24:19.700 have made of this Asian reporter's face on Robert E. Lee's body riding a flag are just

00:24:24.920 absolutely tremendous.

00:24:26.360 Thank you, ESPN.

00:24:27.720 Jacob, that network, ESPN, has struggled for years with declining viewership as it makes

00:24:32.900 its coverage of sports somehow political.

00:24:35.140 I don't know how they do it, but they've managed to do it.

00:24:37.680 Is this the nail in the coffin?

00:24:39.360 Is this thing finally done forever?

00:24:41.620 Oh, yeah, I think so.

00:24:43.320 What's worse is ESPN was called out for doing this months ago, right?

00:24:48.340 And they said, you know what?

00:24:51.080 Forget you.

00:24:52.060 Forget our fans.

00:24:53.180 We are going to double down on this.

00:24:55.480 And now their political correctness has just gone too far. 0.99

00:24:59.000 This is ridiculous. 0.85

00:24:59.720 I think this is the middle of the end for ESPN. 0.95

00:25:05.040 I can't watch it anymore.

00:25:06.260 Not that I don't love watching sports, but I do love watching baseball and SportsCenter

00:25:09.900 sometimes.

00:25:10.700 Can't watch it.

00:25:11.420 It's just their coverage has become beyond the pale.

00:25:14.380 That's why there's the MLB network.

00:25:16.840 That's true.

00:25:17.500 That's what I subscribe to now so I can watch baseball.

00:25:19.860 Antonia, on a serious point, is this evidence that we're living in two different Americas?

00:25:25.160 By the way, it's hard to make Asian Robert E. Lee serious, but we'll try. 0.99

00:25:29.400 We'll do our best of the middle of the show.

00:25:31.960 Are these two different Americas? 0.91

00:25:33.380 There was clearly a board meeting.

00:25:35.320 Somebody had meetings and memos to discuss whether they need to pull a guy because his

00:25:40.920 name is Robert Lee.

00:25:42.200 It seems totally insane to, I think, most Americans.

00:25:46.480 But clearly, some people think this is a serious issue worth doing.

00:25:49.780 Has the culture split so much, the common culture evaporated so much, that we're in

00:25:55.100 these irreconcilable cultural camps?

00:25:59.180 Well, I feel first that, you know, as a reward to people who've subscribed, that I

00:26:05.140 should give some non-fake news credibility to the New York Times, right?

00:26:09.160 And actually talk about the state and say the actual statement where it says, we collectively

00:26:14.000 made the decision, like right there, collectively.

00:26:17.280 I'm just like, okay, well, we already know what the issue is, is collectivism.

00:26:20.380 This is ESPN collectively made the decision?

00:26:22.480 Yes, ESPN collectively made the decision.

00:26:25.780 And then it says at the end, what was it?

00:26:29.000 In that moment, it felt right to all parties.

00:26:32.300 It's a shame that this is even a topic of conversation.

00:26:36.760 It's a shame that this is even a topic of conversation.

00:26:38.620 Yeah, it is a shame.

00:26:39.940 I agree.

00:26:41.060 Look, we all agree.

00:26:42.160 Yes, ESPN.

00:26:43.020 We all agree.

00:26:44.380 Listen to your own words, please.

00:26:46.280 Yeah, I think it definitely is.

00:26:48.940 It's too, when I found out about it yesterday, I too was looking at the Twitter sphere and

00:26:53.700 I was like, no, there's no way.

00:26:55.720 And then finding out quickly that it's true.

00:26:57.960 And just weeping, weeping for our country.

00:27:02.660 I don't know.

00:27:04.200 It makes a testament to me that I'm like, okay, if I hear CNN or somebody else saying in New

00:27:08.340 York Times, even now, I'm just like, okay, fake news, whatever.

00:27:11.600 But now I'm like, okay, ESPN?

00:27:14.020 Oh, man, I just feel like that is more the middle America, right? 1.00

00:27:18.100 It certainly used to be.

00:27:19.200 At least a little part of it.

00:27:20.280 It used to be now.

00:27:21.500 But it's really a testament to where everything is going.

00:27:24.920 It's just, you know, I'm, it's, yeah, it's a sad thing.

00:27:29.100 It's a sad reality now that they feel that this is going to be an issue for people, that

00:27:34.460 people are so offended now, and so therefore they're going to just not take that risk.

00:27:40.120 And you know what?

00:27:40.760 Maybe people would have been offended. 0.58

00:27:42.300 That's the problem, too.

00:27:43.300 People might have been offended.

00:27:44.620 That's true.

00:27:45.480 You know, that's a great point.

00:27:47.480 It's not a totally unrealistic fear that there would be some backlash to it.

00:27:52.060 I'm sorry, Amanda, go ahead.

00:27:53.540 Yeah, no, I'm just saying it just shows how insulated they are.

00:27:55.940 Was there not one moderate or conservative person around to be like, hey, this is totally insane?

00:28:01.740 There was not one voice of reason.

00:28:03.680 I mean, we, like at Google, when we saw there were just excising people who dared to, you

00:28:08.060 know, break their diversity code, it's just, we're all in these little enclaves and there's 0.73

00:28:11.860 no diversity of thought.

00:28:13.400 And this is what conservatives and classical liberals have been fighting for.

00:28:15.900 And this is just an example of that, where there's, there is no other thought.

00:28:19.920 I mean, really, there was not even a moderate to say, this is totally insane.

00:28:24.220 They just, yeah, this, this sounds right.

00:28:26.140 I mean, it's crazy now.

00:28:26.920 This is the Andrew Klavan theory of newsrooms, which is not, the way to fix newsrooms, he says,

00:28:31.980 is not to get a bunch of moderates or a bunch of people who don't have political opinions.

00:28:36.040 It's to get at least one or two conservatives in there.

00:28:39.560 And just so that when people do things like that and they start talking about things that

00:28:43.880 are so fringy and absurd, the conservative can say, hey guys, maybe we should put the

00:28:48.920 brakes on this for a second.

00:28:50.040 I think we at least need to build, I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:28:53.600 No, just Clay Travis, the reporter who broke this was on Tucker Carlson.

00:28:57.380 And he made the point that only 4% of sports reporters voted for President Trump.

00:29:04.120 I mean, it's, it's monolithic again.

00:29:06.260 It's just, it's crazy.

00:29:07.860 I'm sure 94% of sports viewers voted for Trump, but there is a difference between the

00:29:12.680 media and the base.

00:29:13.440 I think we, what we need to do is build a statue to the sportscaster, Robert Lee.

00:29:18.280 If anybody puts that together, I will donate.

00:29:20.840 I will be the first check that gets mailed out.

00:29:23.140 Now we need to talk about, I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:29:26.300 Before we talk about it, I don't want to cut off Antonio Okafor.

00:29:30.400 I was going to say, I think it's important also to know that this is a part-time job for

00:29:34.560 this man.

00:29:35.140 He is a payroll services.

00:29:37.680 He works full-time at a payroll services company in Albany.

00:29:40.360 But also, they told him that instead of covering this game, he's going to instead be covering

00:29:46.740 next month, the University of Pittsburgh's game, which their mascot is the Panthers.

00:29:52.700 So I'm just thinking, why wouldn't Black Panthers be upset with this? 0.98

00:29:56.740 So I just really can't.

00:29:58.820 You are seeing ahead of the curve.

00:30:01.900 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:03.020 Exactly.

00:30:03.420 September 2nd, I promise you, that will be the next outrage.

00:30:05.900 Well, come back next month.

00:30:06.900 I'm sure we'll be talking about it.

00:30:08.000 Last night, President Trump hinted that America's toughest sheriff, Joe Arpaio, might receive

00:30:14.120 a pardon for a conviction he had.

00:30:17.140 It's a little complicated, but he was convicted of being in contempt of court because he kept

00:30:22.380 rounding up illegal immigrants, basically.

00:30:24.760 But there was a worry that he was racially profiling.

00:30:28.120 Barack Obama's DOJ called him out on this.

00:30:31.780 And so anyway, there's a chance that President Trump will pardon him.

00:30:35.040 Let's see the clip.

00:30:35.660 I could just stare at that image all day.

00:30:45.400 Do we have the video?

00:30:46.260 Was Sheriff Joe convicted for doing his job?

00:30:50.840 That's why.

00:30:51.340 He should have had a jury, but you know what?

00:31:00.660 I'll make a prediction.

00:31:01.860 I think he's going to be just fine.

00:31:03.220 Okay.

00:31:05.080 But, but I won't do it tonight because I don't want to cause any controversy.

00:31:12.260 Is that okay?

00:31:12.900 I can't, you can't help but love the guy.

00:31:17.400 Jacob, is there, is there any actual worry that this flouts the rule of law or, or is

00:31:23.920 Trump right?

00:31:24.620 It was Arpaio prosecuted for doing his job.

00:31:27.060 Personally, I think Arpaio was prosecuted for doing his job, but honestly, President Barack

00:31:34.240 Obama commuted the sentence of a traitor.

00:31:37.160 So the left doesn't need to be throwing stones at this.

00:31:40.900 You know, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

00:31:43.260 So I'm for him, pardoning Sheriff Arpaio and Dinesh D'Souza, President Trump, if you're

00:31:50.160 listening.

00:31:51.060 So, you know, that's just my, that's just my take on it.

00:31:53.240 I think that Sheriff Arpaio was doing his job.

00:31:55.560 He was watching out for the safety of his citizens and his constituents, and he was persecuted

00:32:01.260 by the left.

00:32:02.960 Antonia, the allegations are going to fly.

00:32:05.680 I can, like you, I can see ahead a few news cycles.

00:32:08.560 I can see where the fake news media are going to go with this.

00:32:11.360 Allegations are going to fly that he is excusing racial profiling, that President Trump is making

00:32:18.780 an excuse to round up Hispanic people of all legalities.

00:32:23.820 And this is coming one week after Charlottesville.

00:32:26.660 Do you think that this is a bad idea to do it so close to that heated event?

00:32:30.840 Or is this just more evidence that the Trump train has no brakes?

00:32:37.880 The Trump train has no brakes.

00:32:39.520 Yeah, I think, to be honest, especially watching that video was just a testament that Trump

00:32:46.000 does not care.

00:32:47.120 I think after this second time he did his speech after Charlottesville, he's just like,

00:32:51.620 no, you know what?

00:32:52.820 I am not going to win on this issue ever.

00:32:57.140 So I'm just going to be, I'm just going to say what's on my mind.

00:32:59.860 I'm just going to rally up these people who are, you know, pro the sheriff and, you know,

00:33:05.740 talk about it on news, on the news.

00:33:09.200 And I'm sure people are going to be upset about it.

00:33:12.020 I don't, but you know what?

00:33:13.240 He has, he has a lot of, you know, diddly on this, that he basically has been able to

00:33:21.220 say anything that really would have been with anybody else been okay, and have the media

00:33:25.960 to spin it to something that they wanted to be.

00:33:27.820 So I don't think he's ever going to win with that.

00:33:31.220 So he might as well just be who he is.

00:33:32.560 And a lot of Republicans out there, even past presidential nominees, would say, well,

00:33:37.340 I didn't mean this.

00:33:38.180 I didn't say that.

00:33:39.040 And they would react to the mainstream media coverage.

00:33:42.240 And Trump just seems to say, forget about it.

00:33:45.440 You're never going to love me.

00:33:46.480 And I'm going to move on.

00:33:47.520 Now, Amanda, all of this signals that President Trump actually intends to fulfill his campaign

00:33:53.080 promise of reducing illegal immigration, deporting criminals, and building the wall.

00:33:59.060 Do we think that that is actually going to happen?

00:34:01.440 Over the last month or so, it has become increasingly unlikely.

00:34:04.980 What are the odds that we actually build the wall?

00:34:08.500 I mean, I think the odds are good.

00:34:10.260 I think it's going to happen.

00:34:13.040 I think people like Ann Coulter, his base, need to keep putting pressure on President

00:34:18.720 Trump.

00:34:19.080 I mean, it's nice to have a rally, but they need to see some actual action.

00:34:23.020 But that said, we've already had, I think it's like 50% of a decrease of illegal crossing.

00:34:28.680 So like this has been said before, President Trump kind of is a wall, a virtual wall.

00:34:33.660 So he's already done a lot.

00:34:34.960 A big, beautiful wall.

00:34:36.500 Right.

00:34:36.920 Yeah, he really has.

00:34:38.020 Really, he's done a lot to kind of curb that.

00:34:40.620 But of course, we want a physical wall.

00:34:42.540 So, you know, future administrations cannot just, you know, revoke these rules or what

00:34:46.300 have you.

00:34:46.740 So I think it's, I think for sure, we'll have more headway on immigration, because it does 1.00

00:34:53.740 play so well with the base.

00:34:55.720 And that was one of the main issues that got him to the presidency. 0.64

00:34:58.320 So I think it would be foolish if he didn't.

00:35:01.400 So, you know, I know Bannon's gone.

00:35:03.540 But still, I think it would make sense for him to go ahead with this.

00:35:06.240 And I don't see why he wouldn't.

00:35:08.640 So I kind of feel like it'll happen.

00:35:10.300 I agree.

00:35:11.020 There is this sense.

00:35:12.500 I'm not sure that I even really care about the wall itself.

00:35:15.240 I just want him to build it.

00:35:17.200 I want him to build it for the credibility of the borders of the United States and to

00:35:21.720 shut up the mainstream media and the lefties who suggest that controlling your own immigration

00:35:26.260 policy is somehow bigoted or wrong.

00:35:28.620 I really want him to.

00:35:29.600 This is true of a lot of aspects of his presidency.

00:35:31.880 I want him to do them, even if I don't care, especially about the actual policies themselves.

00:35:37.740 Well, speaking of the presidency, we have to move on to someone who is not president, Hillary

00:35:46.220 Clinton.

00:35:47.360 Hillary Clinton has a new book coming out titled What Happened, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

00:35:52.140 Now, when you look at the cover, it says the title is What Happened and the byline is

00:35:56.380 Hillary Rodham Clinton.

00:35:57.540 But I think that might as well just all be the title.

00:36:00.600 Here is a quote.

00:36:01.400 She just released it today for some reason, probably to distract from this rally.

00:36:05.140 Quote, my skin crawled.

00:36:08.640 It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching,

00:36:13.460 well, what would you do?

00:36:15.120 She's referring to debating Trump when he was absolutely crushing her.

00:36:19.200 Quote, do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren't repeatedly invading

00:36:24.260 your space?

00:36:25.340 Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, back up, you creep.

00:36:30.980 Get away from me. 0.65

00:36:31.820 I know you love to intimidate women, but you can't intimidate me, so back up.

00:36:36.500 Isn't that like when someone insults you and then three hours later you think of a good

00:36:40.720 comeback?

00:36:41.320 That's like Hillary Clinton except for 10 months later. 0.97

00:36:44.480 It's really, to quote a great man, sad.

00:36:47.120 Antonia, Democrats famously cannot take responsibility when they lose elections.

00:36:52.280 They never get over it.

00:36:53.420 We see it with Al Gore.

00:36:54.580 We see it with Dukakis. 1.00

00:36:55.680 Obviously, we see it with Hillary Clinton. 0.82

00:36:57.840 Why is that?

00:36:58.760 Republicans seem to move on just fine, but Democrats seem to just harp on it for the

00:37:03.500 rest of their lives.

00:37:06.280 Oh, sorry.

00:37:07.800 I didn't hear the-

00:37:09.140 You were mesmerized.

00:37:10.060 You were mesmerized by Hillary Clinton's beautiful words.

00:37:12.740 Why is it the Democrats can't get over losing elections?

00:37:14.920 No, like, so I know it's not only just that, you know, is it, you know, 10 months later

00:37:25.740 that, you know, she thinks it's a good comeback, but then she, like, hires someone else probably

00:37:29.840 to write that comeback for her, and then they don't do that great of a job either.

00:37:34.420 That's basically what Hillary's, you know, comeback is. 1.00

00:37:38.100 So, yeah, absolutely.

00:37:40.040 I just think it's, I mean, another thing, Republicans do a good job about that.

00:37:44.040 I mean, Mitt Romney had a freaking great Netflix movie that came out after his, after him losing,

00:37:52.200 and if anything, a lot of people are like, why didn't that come out beforehand?

00:37:55.480 People probably would have voted for you more.

00:37:57.880 But this is not going to be the same thing for Hillary. 0.99

00:38:01.480 It's going to be like, just stop, like, get over it.

00:38:05.420 Know your comebacks work.

00:38:06.660 This book, okay, great, you can buy your fourth home or something.

00:38:10.420 You might still feel broke, but you can buy your fourth home now.

00:38:15.480 Yeah, I mean, that's basically it.

00:38:17.460 And, you know, I'm going to bite this one out, but.

00:38:21.200 I think it's the Russians. 0.99

00:38:22.240 I think they're messing with your Skype connection.

00:38:24.540 They're messing with your lights.

00:38:28.920 Jacob.

00:38:29.620 Yes, yes, that's Hillary's feature. 1.00

00:38:31.960 Jacob, are these attacks, are they, are they part of a Democrat strategy? 0.95

00:38:37.180 Is this book, What Happened and all of the things, Trump is a creep, he intimidates women, yada, yada, yada.

00:38:42.180 Is this part of some larger Democrat strategy to defeat him in 2020?

00:38:46.420 Or is it just Hillary Clinton throwing a temper tantrum and proving with each and every word that she's utterly unfit to hold the office of the presidency? 1.00

00:38:54.380 Well, I think it's a combination of both.

00:38:57.440 It's basically Democrats are running on, we're not the party of Trump.

00:39:02.480 And also, Hillary Clinton has always been vindictive. 1.00

00:39:05.740 So she's going to, to say the least, you know, I'm being polite.

00:39:10.140 She's always been vindictive. 0.94

00:39:11.700 So she's saying, oh, she's a creep. 1.00

00:39:13.520 She forgets that she's married to a creep. 0.99

00:39:15.180 And she's kind of a creeper herself. 1.00

00:39:17.060 I mean, as a lawyer, she defended a child rapist. 0.98

00:39:22.120 And basically, victim shamed the poor victim in the case. 0.79

00:39:28.080 So I think it's just sour grapes.

00:39:30.800 She's just throwing a temper tantrum, as you said. 1.00

00:39:33.560 And that's all there is to this.

00:39:35.120 And her last book didn't sell well.

00:39:37.180 Her husband's book sold better, ironically enough.

00:39:40.060 So I think this book will just go nowhere for her.

00:39:42.360 Because everyone knows what happens.

00:39:43.780 The DNC nominated Hillary Clinton.

00:39:46.100 That's what happened.

00:39:46.900 When you say that Hillary Clinton is vindictive, are you insinuating that the Clintons keep

00:39:52.200 suiciding people all around them?

00:39:54.420 I can neither confirm nor deny that.

00:39:57.280 We'll have to talk about that on a later episode.

00:40:00.200 All right.

00:40:00.680 Thank you to my wonderful panel of deplorables for being here.

00:40:04.100 Amanda Prestigiacomo, Antonia Okafor, and Jacob Airy.

00:40:06.940 Now it is time for my smart glasses and the final thought.

00:40:10.240 If all you read were the Democrat hacks in the mainstream news media, you would have

00:40:19.480 good reason to think that President Trump is not only Hitler, but Mecca Hitler. 0.51

00:40:23.520 You would become more convinced with each story to that effect.

00:40:26.900 And these purportedly objective, purportedly journalistic outlets each run dozens per day.

00:40:32.460 But when you watch the man unfiltered, it becomes clear that he is not at all like the

00:40:35.980 left-wing water carriers at virtually every major news outlet desperately wish to portray

00:40:41.460 him.

00:40:42.200 He has an essentially economic agenda, a vision of American greatness that a rising tide lifts

00:40:47.320 all ships, and that this policy agenda must be coupled with a spirit of patriotism that

00:40:52.420 overwhelms superficial categories that separate and divide the American people.

00:40:56.800 It's an important message and one that Democrat operatives who play journalists on TV are desperately

00:41:01.680 trying to pervert and suppress.

00:41:03.140 Now more than ever, Republicans must come together with a clear vision and a single strategy.
