Summary

Democrat socialism is on the rise, as DSA membership skyrockets, and crazy-eyed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spreads the gospel of envy and the philosophy of failure. Our Stalin-esque comrades face just one problem: there isn t any such thing as democratic socialism. Like dry water or tasty kombucha, democratic socialism is a contradiction in terms, and we ll analyze why this is, and identify the key words you need to look out for to identify brainwashed lefties. We ll talk about why ideology is terrible, and when the left lost its sense of humor entirely. Finally, I m hoping that Ambassador Nikki Haley is watching, because we will explain why owning the libs is a wonderful thing.

00:00:00.000 Nervous about financing a renovation or move?
00:00:03.320 TD can help.
00:00:04.860 Request a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct
00:00:08.340 and say hello to good advice.
00:00:15.100 Democratic socialism is on the rise
00:00:17.620 as DSA membership skyrockets,
00:00:20.200 half of millennials call themselves socialist,
00:00:22.680 and crazy-eyed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
00:00:25.300 spreads the gospel of envy and the philosophy of failure.
00:00:28.200 Our Stalin-esque comrades face just one problem.
00:00:32.080 There isn't any such thing as democratic socialism.
00:00:34.740 Like dry water or tasty kombucha,
00:00:37.340 democratic socialism is a contradiction in terms.
00:00:40.440 We will analyze why this is
00:00:42.780 and we'll also identify the key words
00:00:44.500 that you need to look out for
00:00:45.980 to identify brainwashed lefties.
00:00:48.220 We'll talk about why ideology is terrible
00:00:49.960 and when the left lost its sense of humor entirely.
00:00:53.260 Finally, last but not least,
00:00:55.180 I'm hoping that Ambassador Nikki Haley is watching.
00:00:57.680 We will explain why owning the libs is a wonderful thing.
00:01:01.040 I'm Michael Knowles and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:09.460 I wish we could just jump to the end right now
00:01:11.900 and extol the virtues of owning the libs,
00:01:14.320 but we'll save that for later
00:01:15.700 because it's a wonderful thing
00:01:16.820 and I could talk about it forever.
00:01:18.180 Before that, I've got some good news, folks.
00:01:20.440 Good news not only for you,
00:01:21.840 good news for me, good news for the show,
00:01:23.480 good news for the covfefe in my cup.
00:01:24.740 We've got a new sponsor, Purple Mattress and I love this.
00:01:28.600 I love any sponsor, any product
00:01:32.060 that can have you thinking about me
00:01:34.440 when you're in your bedroom
00:01:35.240 and Purple Mattress will do just that.
00:01:37.680 Purple Mattress is some pretty insane technology also.
00:01:41.580 So, you know, obviously these days,
00:01:44.720 technology is advancing tremendously.
00:01:47.000 Things that, you know, we used to like ride the horse
00:01:48.780 and buggy just five minutes ago
00:01:50.040 and now there are all these wonderful technological solutions
00:01:53.660 to everyday problems.
00:01:55.900 One of them, and I face this all the time,
00:01:57.760 or I did face this,
00:01:58.880 is that I have back pain when I wake up,
00:02:00.940 so I'd always sleep kind of wrong.
00:02:02.280 My neck, you know, wouldn't feel great.
00:02:03.940 All messed up.
00:02:06.540 Purple fixes this problem.
00:02:08.760 Purple is so, so good.
00:02:09.760 The founders of Purple are two brothers
00:02:11.280 who've been developing cushioning technology
00:02:12.940 for 30 years for things like medical beds,
00:02:15.140 wheelchairs.
00:02:15.920 They're comfort technology specialists.
00:02:18.480 And they have created a mattress
00:02:21.460 unlike anything else.
00:02:22.720 This was developed by an actual rocket scientist.

00:03:09.180 And we're going to have to turn back to socialism.
00:03:13.100 All right, let's just dive right in.
00:03:14.580 Let's just dive right into
00:03:15.800 the deep end of the pool.
00:03:17.220 The jackals, the hyenas
00:03:19.540 at The View on ABC
00:03:21.300 are, here we are,
00:03:22.960 debating democratic socialism
00:03:25.400 with the one sane person,
00:03:27.340 Meghan McCain.
00:03:27.880 Here they are.
00:03:29.160 Mike, isn't democratic socialism
00:03:30.640 very close to liberalism?
00:03:32.080 I mean, no.
00:03:32.780 Well, think about it for a second.
00:03:34.240 Medicare, Social Security,
00:03:35.660 garbage collection,
00:03:36.580 the post office, the library.
00:03:38.080 I agree with you.
00:03:39.260 That's all democratic socialism.
00:03:40.800 Because we had her on the show
00:03:42.380 and I asked her this question
00:03:43.820 about what do you mean
00:03:44.540 by being a democratic socialist?
00:03:46.180 And she went over her platform.
00:03:48.080 She says Medicare for all.
00:03:49.640 Good.
00:03:50.120 Fully funded public schools
00:03:51.500 and universities.
00:03:52.300 Love it.
00:03:52.860 Paid family and sick leave.
00:03:54.660 Good.
00:03:54.900 Justice system reform,
00:03:56.120 immigration justice,
00:03:57.260 infrastructural overhaul,
00:03:58.500 clean campaign finance,
00:04:00.320 an economy of peace,
00:04:01.820 housing as a human right.
00:04:03.140 Well, I don't know.
00:04:03.860 It's a really successful country.
00:04:05.480 Can I please push back up?
00:04:06.540 What's wrong with that?
00:04:07.520 This makes my head explode.
00:04:08.800 Which, by the way,
00:04:09.280 I hope Democrats do run
00:04:10.400 a democratic socialist.
00:04:11.480 Do you hope that we win?
00:04:12.420 Do you hope the Democrats
00:04:13.440 beat Trump?
00:04:13.520 No, because I think
00:04:13.940 you'll lose spectacularly
00:04:15.440 and then I will look forward
00:04:16.400 to election night
00:04:17.020 when I finally get to tell everybody
00:04:17.980 I told you so
00:04:18.700 if you end up running a radical.
00:04:20.340 Problem with socialism,
00:04:21.260 in the words of Margaret Thatcher,
00:04:22.220 at a certain point,
00:04:22.840 you run out of spending
00:04:23.460 other people's money.
00:04:24.580 Venezuela, one of the richest countries
00:04:26.200 in the world in the 70s.
00:04:28.280 Now, the average Venezuelan
00:04:30.000 has lost 24 pounds
00:04:31.180 because they're starving to death.
00:04:32.840 90% of the country
00:04:33.860 is living in poverty.
00:04:35.300 I think she's talking more
00:04:36.180 about Scandinavia than Venezuela.
00:04:39.100 Oh, okay, okay, got it.
00:04:40.700 She's talking more.
00:04:41.360 By the way,
00:04:41.920 the United States has,
00:04:44.200 does not have the highest
00:04:45.300 economic freedom index
00:04:46.420 in the world.
00:04:46.960 Far from it.
00:04:47.680 There are countries
00:04:48.220 in those areas,
00:04:49.260 countries that, you know,
00:04:50.420 the left always likes
00:04:51.200 to hold up as socialists
00:04:52.140 which have more economic freedom
00:04:53.600 than the United States does.
00:04:54.960 But I want to get
00:04:56.200 to the central point here
00:04:57.880 as the left embraces
00:04:59.620 democratic socialism.
00:05:00.900 Right now,
00:05:01.500 the DSA membership
00:05:02.460 has increased
00:05:03.620 seven and a half times
00:05:05.020 in just two years
00:05:06.420 between 2016 and 2018.
00:05:09.060 The membership has increased
00:05:10.700 almost seven and a half times.
00:05:12.180 The dues paying membership,
00:05:13.480 which is ironic
00:05:14.020 because I didn't think
00:05:14.740 socialists paid for anything,
00:05:16.180 but they are paying
00:05:16.820 their membership dues now
00:05:17.780 to this.
00:05:18.260 There are 42 candidates
00:05:19.740 across the United States
00:05:21.060 who are now endorsed,
00:05:22.900 officially endorsed,
00:05:23.740 by the Democrat Socialists
00:05:25.000 of America.
00:05:25.960 There is obviously
00:05:27.660 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:05:29.540 There's another one, though,
00:05:30.540 this guy,
00:05:31.300 Zach Ringelstein,
00:05:32.660 up in Maine.
00:05:34.060 He says he stands
00:05:35.140 with the Democratic Socialists.
00:05:36.640 He wasn't comfortable
00:05:37.520 calling himself one before,
00:05:38.620 but now he is comfortable
00:05:40.020 calling himself one.
00:05:41.180 This is spreading.
00:05:42.060 You have the sort of
00:05:43.160 cackling lefty hyenas
00:05:44.260 on The View.
00:05:45.260 They're embracing socialism.
00:05:48.340 They're saying,
00:05:48.680 isn't it just a like liberalism?
00:05:50.480 It's not real socialism.
00:05:52.420 It's a democratic socialism.
00:05:54.260 Ladies, repeat after me.
00:05:56.500 There is no such thing
00:05:57.840 as democratic socialism.
00:05:59.760 Repeat after me.
00:06:00.360 There is no such thing
00:06:01.940 as democratic socialism.
00:06:03.820 Miss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:06:05.580 is there any such thing
00:06:06.520 as democratic socialism?
00:06:08.320 I am not the expert
00:06:09.460 on geopolitics
00:06:10.740 on this issue.
00:06:12.100 That's a good point.
00:06:12.800 Fair enough.
00:06:13.240 You're right.
00:06:13.560 You know,
00:06:14.280 now I bet the New York Times
00:06:15.300 is going to yell at me
00:06:15.960 for spreading fake news.
00:06:17.080 He didn't really interview her.
00:06:18.420 He didn't really.
00:06:18.900 Yeah, you're right.
00:06:19.440 It wasn't.
00:06:19.860 That was just a clip.
00:06:20.660 It was just a clip,
00:06:21.360 New York Times.
00:06:22.480 There is no such thing
00:06:23.580 as democratic socialism.
00:06:24.660 There are contradictions
00:06:25.500 in terms.
00:06:27.640 You know,
00:06:28.000 there's a really depressing number
00:06:29.180 that's been coming out.
00:06:30.200 According to two separate studies,
00:06:32.140 millennials,
00:06:33.260 the majority of millennials,
00:06:34.420 identify as socialist.
00:06:36.320 They call themselves socialists.
00:06:38.300 They rather live
00:06:38.800 in a socialist government.
00:06:40.860 That number has risen
00:06:43.100 dramatically over the years.
00:06:45.120 Even PragerU's Will Witt,
00:06:47.860 who I think was constructed
00:06:49.160 in a laboratory
00:06:49.800 made by Snapchat.
00:06:51.280 Will Witt went out there
00:06:52.300 and talked to these millennials.
00:06:53.700 Look at what they had to say.
00:06:55.260 Should we have more socialism
00:06:56.360 in America?
00:06:57.160 Yeah, definitely.
00:06:57.920 Should we have socialism
00:06:58.740 in America?
00:06:59.260 I think we already have
00:07:01.120 an element of socialism already,
00:07:03.140 but I believe
00:07:03.880 in the tenets of socialism,
00:07:05.260 and yes,
00:07:05.980 I think we should have more.
00:07:07.260 I mean,
00:07:07.940 ideally,
00:07:10.580 I mean,
00:07:11.200 it sounds like a great idea.
00:07:12.600 It's one of the options
00:07:13.280 we haven't really tried yet,
00:07:14.880 and what we have been trying
00:07:15.920 clearly isn't working.
00:07:17.020 What do you think
00:07:17.500 about socialism?
00:07:18.320 I don't believe
00:07:19.420 to socialism.
00:07:20.800 Why do you think
00:07:21.240 young people
00:07:21.780 like socialism so much?
00:07:24.440 Free stuff.
00:07:25.180 Where have you seen
00:07:25.920 socialism work in the world?
00:07:27.540 You see
00:07:28.020 even like
00:07:29.560 in Europe,
00:07:31.080 like France,
00:07:32.000 and
00:07:32.120 at least they have
00:07:34.120 like socialist parties,
00:07:35.280 as well as
00:07:35.680 in Latin America
00:07:36.620 with like
00:07:37.420 Bolivia.
00:07:39.380 Venezuela?
00:07:40.500 Venezuela.
00:07:41.360 Venezuela.
00:07:42.420 Venezuela.
00:07:43.720 And where are you from?
00:07:44.740 I'm from Russia.
00:07:45.500 Then you really don't
00:07:46.840 like socialism, huh?
00:07:47.760 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:49.580 That's right.
00:07:50.360 They all say,
00:07:51.040 they say,
00:07:51.320 yeah, I like socialism.
00:07:52.640 Look,
00:07:52.920 look,
00:07:54.000 it hasn't,
00:07:54.560 we haven't tried it before,
00:07:56.340 and clearly,
00:07:57.380 clearly what we're trying
00:07:58.400 isn't working.
00:07:59.280 I mean,
00:07:59.460 that's why we have
00:08:00.040 the most prosperous country
00:08:00.960 in the history of the world,
00:08:01.980 but we're not as like,
00:08:02.960 we don't have Venezuela.
00:08:04.200 You know,
00:08:04.440 we don't have people
00:08:04.960 starving in the street
00:08:05.900 or being gunned down
00:08:06.700 by their government.
00:08:07.460 No, we don't have that,
00:08:08.400 you know,
00:08:08.900 so clearly it isn't working.
00:08:10.260 So the bad news,
00:08:11.340 more than half of millennials
00:08:12.520 identify as socialist.
00:08:13.900 The good news,
00:08:14.660 though,
00:08:14.800 according to other
00:08:15.480 polls,
00:08:16.140 this was,
00:08:16.580 I think,
00:08:16.760 according to CBS
00:08:17.360 and New York Times,
00:08:18.440 is that only 16%
00:08:20.120 of millennials
00:08:20.740 can explain
00:08:22.100 what socialism is.
00:08:24.160 Only,
00:08:24.700 so the vast majority
00:08:26.040 of millennials
00:08:26.500 have no idea what it is.
00:08:27.980 They're frequently wrong,
00:08:28.940 but never in doubt.
00:08:29.900 So yeah,
00:08:30.700 I'm,
00:08:30.720 oh,
00:08:30.940 I totally,
00:08:31.380 I believe in socialism.
00:08:32.600 I'm a socialist.
00:08:33.660 Well,
00:08:33.920 what is socialism?
00:08:34.680 You know,
00:08:34.880 I'm not the expert.
00:08:35.720 I don't,
00:08:35.900 what are you asking me
00:08:36.400 these questions for?
00:08:38.060 The socialism is,
00:08:39.820 is a wicked,
00:08:40.620 wicked ideology,
00:08:41.300 and there's no difference
00:08:42.560 between democratic socialism
00:08:43.980 and socialism.
00:08:44.740 It's just socialism.
00:08:45.840 The democratic socialists
00:08:46.960 of America,
00:08:47.900 they define their agenda
00:08:49.620 as saying that they reject
00:08:50.740 the economic order
00:08:51.820 based on profit.
00:08:53.080 What they call for
00:08:53.780 is the government control
00:08:55.100 of industry,
00:08:56.400 government control
00:08:57.060 of the means of production.
00:08:58.400 It's just socialism.
00:08:59.960 Irving Kristol,
00:09:00.800 Bill Kristol's father,
00:09:02.200 he talked about this
00:09:03.500 in particular
00:09:04.500 a number of years ago.
00:09:05.320 He wrote,
00:09:05.600 democratic socialism
00:09:07.580 turns out to be
00:09:08.680 an inherently unstable compound,
00:09:10.300 a contradiction in terms.
00:09:12.040 Every social democratic party,
00:09:13.900 once in power,
00:09:15.300 soon finds itself choosing
00:09:16.660 at one point after another
00:09:17.960 between the socialist society
00:09:19.740 it aspires to
00:09:20.680 and the liberal society
00:09:22.060 that fathered it.
00:09:23.320 Socialist movements
00:09:24.220 end up in a society
00:09:25.540 where liberty
00:09:26.180 is the property
00:09:27.000 of the state
00:09:27.700 and is or is not
00:09:29.580 doled out
00:09:30.200 to its citizens
00:09:31.080 along with other
00:09:31.900 contingent benefits.
00:09:33.180 There are different kinds
00:09:34.160 of socialism.
00:09:35.500 There's international socialism.
00:09:37.340 That's communism.
00:09:39.300 Saw it in the Soviet Union.
00:09:40.640 There's national socialism.
00:09:42.200 That's fascism
00:09:42.960 or Nazism.
00:09:43.720 We saw it in
00:09:44.240 the Second World War
00:09:45.700 in Italy and Germany.
00:09:46.940 And then there is
00:09:47.460 democratic socialism.
00:09:48.900 But the end
00:09:49.520 of all of these socialisms
00:09:50.580 is socialism,
00:09:52.640 is government control
00:09:53.460 of the means of production
00:09:54.300 and as the government grows
00:09:56.060 the citizen shrinks.
00:09:57.720 A government
00:09:58.380 that can give you
00:09:59.360 anything you want
00:10:00.080 is a government
00:10:00.560 that can take away
00:10:01.260 everything that you have.
00:10:02.780 And you're seeing it
00:10:03.720 play out in real time.
00:10:04.900 It's not just history.
00:10:06.000 It's not just
00:10:06.380 the lessons of history.
00:10:07.240 It's going on
00:10:07.640 in Latin America
00:10:08.920 right now.
00:10:10.200 You see in
00:10:11.080 Venezuela obviously.
00:10:13.220 Venezuela has the largest
00:10:14.620 proven oil reserves
00:10:15.780 in the world
00:10:17.020 and they're just
00:10:18.600 overflowing with energy.
00:10:20.460 They could be
00:10:20.980 a hugely
00:10:21.940 abundant
00:10:22.740 prosperous nation
00:10:24.080 and they were
00:10:24.820 for a time
00:10:25.460 until they embraced
00:10:26.600 socialism.
00:10:27.560 We're not talking
00:10:28.100 about ancient history.
00:10:28.900 We're talking
00:10:29.300 just a few decades ago.
00:10:30.740 Now because a couple
00:10:31.580 decades ago
00:10:32.120 they elected socialists
00:10:33.120 people are starving
00:10:34.260 in the street.
00:10:34.940 Literally starving
00:10:35.580 in the street.
00:10:36.380 It's a failed state.
00:10:37.640 The IMF is warning
00:10:38.560 that inflation
00:10:39.180 could jump to 2300%.
00:10:40.780 It's utterly broken
00:10:42.240 utterly failed
00:10:43.000 and it's really tragic.
00:10:44.040 I mean you're seeing
00:10:44.500 people burying their babies
00:10:46.300 because they starved
00:10:48.000 at 16 months old
00:10:49.660 17 months old.
00:10:51.720 How about in Nicaragua?
00:10:52.900 In Nicaragua right there
00:10:53.880 there's a crisis
00:10:54.480 of socialism.
00:10:55.700 Father Cesar Augusto Gutierrez
00:10:58.560 is warning now
00:10:59.640 about the government
00:11:00.260 just mowing people down
00:11:01.820 saying that the socialist
00:11:03.000 state is targeting
00:11:05.020 its citizens.
00:11:05.640 The armed socialist
00:11:06.540 state is targeting
00:11:07.740 its unarmed citizens
00:11:09.060 and killing them
00:11:10.060 and torturing them.
00:11:11.020 There was actually
00:11:11.540 a person who's
00:11:12.840 an American citizen
00:11:13.640 by birth
00:11:14.180 who's down there
00:11:14.860 who's been tortured
00:11:15.540 brutally.
00:11:16.620 I won't go into
00:11:17.100 the details.
00:11:17.720 You can read about it
00:11:18.480 in some of the accounts.
00:11:19.780 Being tortured brutally.
00:11:21.020 His name is Marco Novoa
00:11:22.280 by the socialist government.
00:11:24.940 And right now
00:11:26.340 also the socialist government
00:11:27.860 is defiling churches.
00:11:29.540 They're going in
00:11:30.340 they're desecrating churches
00:11:32.340 and it's because
00:11:33.100 when the government
00:11:33.940 has power
00:11:34.640 you have no protection
00:11:35.920 for your liberty.
00:11:37.220 They use this term
00:11:38.240 democratic socialism
00:11:39.200 in part
00:11:39.920 because they want
00:11:41.220 to make
00:11:41.640 they want to conflate
00:11:43.060 socialism with the
00:11:43.860 democratic party.
00:11:45.100 That's actually why
00:11:45.880 they're using it in America.
00:11:47.020 They say oh well
00:11:47.420 I'm a democrat
00:11:48.260 you're a democrat socialist
00:11:49.940 kind of close aren't they?
00:11:51.640 They shouldn't be.
00:11:52.560 I mean perhaps
00:11:53.160 now that is the case
00:11:54.080 perhaps the democrat party
00:11:55.020 has moved all the way
00:11:55.600 to the left
00:11:56.000 but they really shouldn't
00:11:57.140 be the same thing.
00:11:58.460 You know it's easy
00:11:59.520 whenever the government
00:12:00.880 wants to take power
00:12:01.800 whenever socialists
00:12:02.720 want to take power
00:12:03.420 they promise the whole world.
00:12:05.580 They promise you everything.
00:12:06.900 Every tin pot dictator
00:12:08.020 every banana republic dictator
00:12:09.540 he has a bill of rights
00:12:11.720 a mile long.
00:12:12.680 They say oh you'll get
00:12:13.240 food and water
00:12:14.280 health care is a human right
00:12:15.960 food is a human right
00:12:17.440 jobs are a human right
00:12:18.700 this and you'll get
00:12:19.360 you'll get a car
00:12:20.120 you'll get sprinkles
00:12:21.140 on your ice cream
00:12:21.960 you'll get marshmallow sandwiches
00:12:23.280 you'll get rainbows
00:12:24.740 and puppies
00:12:25.140 you'll get everything.
00:12:26.000 But when the government
00:12:27.420 has that power
00:12:28.200 when they take over
00:12:28.840 all the power
00:12:29.300 you have no way
00:12:30.420 of protecting your rights
00:12:31.560 you have no way
00:12:32.080 of saying well
00:12:32.760 where's my ice cream?
00:12:33.920 They say well
00:12:34.300 you'll have to wait
00:12:35.440 a little bit for that
00:12:36.000 won't you?
00:12:36.460 Well listen just wait
00:12:37.580 you have no recourse
00:12:38.760 you have no defense
00:12:39.640 and the government
00:12:40.400 will run roughshod over you.
00:12:42.560 You know if
00:12:42.860 Madison writes about this
00:12:44.460 in the Federalist
00:12:45.100 if men were angels
00:12:47.060 we wouldn't need
00:12:48.720 government at all.
00:12:50.520 But don't forget
00:12:51.340 those men who are
00:12:52.000 taking over power
00:12:52.900 in these socialist governments
00:12:54.040 they're just like
00:12:55.560 you and me
00:12:56.020 they're just
00:12:56.940 they're not like
00:12:57.800 some benevolent betters
00:12:59.260 they're not these angels
00:13:00.120 who are going to create
00:13:01.460 wealth and prosperity
00:13:02.460 and always have the
00:13:03.800 interests of everybody
00:13:04.940 at heart
00:13:05.380 and be compassionate
00:13:06.120 they're just people
00:13:07.200 and people are driven
00:13:07.900 by the same impulses
00:13:08.780 all around.
00:13:10.540 They're trying to
00:13:11.460 conflate these things
00:13:12.140 democratic socialism
00:13:13.180 and the democratic party
00:13:15.520 and it's just part
00:13:16.660 of their larger
00:13:17.340 attack on language.
00:13:19.860 You see they use this
00:13:20.540 all the time
00:13:20.960 and before we move on
00:13:22.980 just from this question
00:13:23.860 of Ocasio-Cortez
00:13:25.020 and Finkelstein
00:13:26.880 or whatever that guy's name is
00:13:28.120 of Ringelstein
00:13:28.860 up in Maine
00:13:29.540 and the 40 other
00:13:30.920 democratic socialist
00:13:32.620 endorsed candidates
00:13:33.900 I will say
00:13:34.860 on the one hand
00:13:35.520 Meghan McCain is right
00:13:36.440 because if they run
00:13:37.940 these lefty candidates
00:13:38.860 they're going to
00:13:40.160 not do very well
00:13:40.960 in this election I think.
00:13:41.960 I don't think
00:13:42.420 this is a great strategy.
00:13:43.740 I don't think
00:13:44.120 socialism plays in Peoria.
00:13:46.280 I just don't think
00:13:47.360 that's going to work
00:13:47.900 in the short run.
00:13:48.740 But what they're doing
00:13:49.560 is they're mainstreaming socialism
00:13:51.160 and that's a very bad thing
00:13:52.880 because socialism is tyranny.
00:13:55.580 Socialism is slavery.
00:13:57.440 That's all it is.
00:13:58.780 And over time
00:13:59.840 if people's defenses
00:14:01.540 and immunities
00:14:02.220 against this
00:14:02.900 start to break down
00:14:04.180 you're going to see
00:14:05.140 more socialist candidates
00:14:06.160 come in.
00:14:06.660 I mean you're seeing it
00:14:07.420 over just the last two years.
00:14:09.360 Bernie Sanders
00:14:10.120 and the millennial useful idiots
00:14:11.940 who supported him
00:14:12.720 are surging the membership
00:14:16.200 of the democrat socialists
00:14:17.460 of America.
00:14:18.580 They're surging it.
00:14:19.240 They're proliferating
00:14:19.980 all of these candidates
00:14:20.780 and it's going to get worse.
00:14:23.260 You know in the 2016 election
00:14:25.100 the democrats said
00:14:25.780 good nominate Trump.
00:14:27.100 Oh nominate Trump.
00:14:27.900 He'll be the easiest one to beat.
00:14:29.260 He's so crazy
00:14:30.020 and out there
00:14:30.720 and unconventional.
00:14:31.940 Right?
00:14:33.460 They were in for a rude awakening
00:14:34.800 and I fear that we'll be in
00:14:35.920 for that rude awakening too.
00:14:37.240 It's really worrisome
00:14:39.060 especially with millennials
00:14:40.020 who don't know anything
00:14:40.820 because you know
00:14:43.240 first of all
00:14:43.720 millennials don't remember
00:14:44.580 the fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:14:45.840 We were born around the time
00:14:46.960 the Berlin Wall fell
00:14:47.780 or shortly thereafter.
00:14:49.260 So you don't remember
00:14:50.040 the horrific stories
00:14:51.560 of communism.
00:14:52.600 You don't remember
00:14:53.180 seeing people being liberated
00:14:54.380 from behind the Iron Curtain.
00:14:55.960 You don't remember
00:14:56.560 any of those things.
00:14:58.500 And you know
00:14:59.680 at all times
00:15:00.540 from Vladimir Lenin
00:15:01.520 and Joseph Stalin
00:15:02.520 onward
00:15:03.240 all the way to
00:15:03.760 Ocasio-Cortez
00:15:04.880 and Finkelstein
00:15:05.520 or Ringelstein
00:15:06.160 socialists have relied
00:15:08.760 on useful idiots.
00:15:09.720 You now have a whole generation
00:15:10.800 who don't remember
00:15:12.000 these things.
00:15:13.180 And they can't even
00:15:14.400 describe what it is.
00:15:15.120 They don't know
00:15:15.600 what socialism is.
00:15:16.340 They just know
00:15:16.800 that they support it.
00:15:17.900 I think a lot of that
00:15:18.660 is because of the ideology
00:15:19.840 that they've been educated into.
00:15:21.500 So I think conservatives
00:15:22.360 don't just play
00:15:23.460 the short game here.
00:15:24.240 Don't just play
00:15:24.800 yeah nominate
00:15:25.460 all those crazy socialists
00:15:26.640 and then we're going to win
00:15:27.580 in 2018 or 2020.
00:15:29.460 You've got to be careful.
00:15:30.540 You've got to educate people
00:15:31.680 about the horrors
00:15:32.920 of socialism
00:15:33.540 because in the long run
00:15:34.700 it could really wipe us out
00:15:35.760 especially with a generation
00:15:37.180 who doesn't know anything.
00:15:38.960 One way
00:15:39.660 that the democratic socialists
00:15:41.060 do this
00:15:41.700 and the so-called
00:15:42.900 democratic socialists
00:15:43.940 do this
00:15:44.440 is they manipulate language.
00:15:46.540 This is their main technique.
00:15:48.020 This is the main way
00:15:48.980 that ideologies
00:15:50.020 advance themselves.
00:15:52.300 So you know
00:15:53.320 if Ocasio-Cortez came out
00:15:55.680 and she said
00:15:56.520 you know
00:15:56.700 I'm a pinko communist
00:15:57.780 probably she wouldn't do that well.
00:15:59.680 Or even if she said
00:16:00.320 I'm a socialist
00:16:00.920 might not do that well.
00:16:01.860 But to say
00:16:02.000 I'm a democratic socialist
00:16:03.180 kind of eases it in.
00:16:04.820 She was at an event
00:16:05.460 with Bernie Sanders
00:16:06.240 she said
00:16:06.700 we're going to flip
00:16:07.460 this Kansas House seat
00:16:08.560 red in November.
00:16:09.820 People thought
00:16:10.280 that was a gaffe.
00:16:10.900 I think that was
00:16:11.340 a Freudian slip
00:16:12.100 that she was doing.
00:16:13.800 You know
00:16:14.160 all of this language
00:16:15.220 is the stuff of ideology.
00:16:17.260 There's a great
00:16:17.820 political philosopher
00:16:18.780 that conservatives
00:16:19.740 should all read
00:16:20.580 and I reference him sometimes
00:16:22.100 because he doesn't get
00:16:23.260 as much play as he should
00:16:24.040 is Michael Oakeshott
00:16:25.000 and he defines ideology
00:16:26.720 as basically being
00:16:28.340 combinations of vocabulary.
00:16:31.460 When you want to know
00:16:32.400 what an ideology is
00:16:34.420 look at the language
00:16:35.500 that people use
00:16:36.600 when they're ideologues.
00:16:38.220 And there are these
00:16:38.820 whole sets of language
00:16:40.320 like the left uses it
00:16:41.460 today
00:16:41.980 and the left used
00:16:43.300 certain language
00:16:43.920 in the 1970s
00:16:44.860 the left uses
00:16:45.580 different language
00:16:46.480 today.
00:16:47.380 And non-lefties
00:16:48.600 never use this language
00:16:49.920 because we talk
00:16:50.560 like normal people
00:16:51.300 but they talk
00:16:52.280 like they're true believers
00:16:53.300 like they're in the cult.
00:16:54.360 An example of this
00:16:55.120 in the 60s and 70s
00:16:56.920 the left would use
00:16:57.920 the word oppression.
00:16:59.680 That was the big term.
00:17:00.900 It was the term
00:17:01.340 of all these lefty movements.
00:17:02.840 But today
00:17:03.280 they don't use oppression anymore
00:17:04.580 that's sort of antiquated.
00:17:06.540 Now they use privilege.
00:17:08.640 It means the same thing
00:17:09.620 but that's the term.
00:17:10.560 You've got to check
00:17:11.300 your privilege.
00:17:12.240 How much privilege
00:17:12.940 do you have?
00:17:13.620 Oh he's very privileged.
00:17:15.980 Non-lefties don't use
00:17:17.020 that language
00:17:17.580 but it's a way
00:17:18.820 for lefties
00:17:20.540 one to identify
00:17:21.260 one another
00:17:21.780 and then two
00:17:22.660 it shapes how they
00:17:23.340 see the world.
00:17:24.500 Another one is
00:17:25.080 exploitation.
00:17:26.220 You would always hear
00:17:26.580 the exploitation
00:17:27.340 of workers
00:17:28.540 or exploitation
00:17:29.240 of this group
00:17:29.840 or that group
00:17:30.260 in the 70s.
00:17:31.140 Today it's classism.
00:17:33.400 Another one
00:17:33.840 you would hear
00:17:34.160 in the 70s
00:17:35.000 you'd hear alliances
00:17:35.880 there was talk of that
00:17:36.700 but now you hear
00:17:37.360 being an ally.
00:17:38.360 I mean have you seen
00:17:39.500 this on campus
00:17:40.120 or what do they say
00:17:40.500 you've got to be an ally.
00:17:42.560 What does that mean?
00:17:43.340 What do you mean
00:17:43.600 be an ally?
00:17:44.480 Am I
00:17:44.740 you've got to be an ally.
00:17:46.120 And for those of us
00:17:47.500 who are like normal people
00:17:48.520 we'd kind of look quizzically
00:17:50.060 and then move on
00:17:50.840 but for those
00:17:52.120 indoctrinated in the ideology
00:17:53.500 they say oh yes
00:17:54.020 I'm an ally.
00:17:55.080 That's how I'm going to view
00:17:55.880 the world
00:17:56.760 as a
00:17:57.140 there are the allies
00:17:58.160 and the not allies
00:17:59.180 the us and the them.
00:18:00.980 Another one is
00:18:01.780 in the 70s
00:18:03.420 they would use
00:18:03.760 consciousness raising.
00:18:05.520 We're raising
00:18:06.100 the consciousness.
00:18:07.560 You know
00:18:07.900 we're going to raise
00:18:09.020 the consciousness.
00:18:09.900 Now it's calling out.
00:18:11.380 You've got to call out
00:18:12.600 racism.
00:18:13.640 You've got to call out
00:18:14.800 sexism.
00:18:16.040 You've got to call it out.
00:18:16.960 Call it out.
00:18:17.380 What is that?
00:18:18.580 What do you mean
00:18:19.080 call it out?
00:18:19.780 Just start
00:18:20.020 blah blah blah
00:18:20.620 yeah
00:18:20.780 you know
00:18:21.880 so your uncle
00:18:22.820 at Thanksgiving dinner
00:18:24.360 says I've voted
00:18:25.280 for Donald Trump
00:18:25.920 you yell
00:18:28.120 you call it
00:18:28.700 no
00:18:28.900 but that's how they view it
00:18:30.360 that's what they
00:18:30.800 the image you get
00:18:31.860 in your mind
00:18:32.440 because what they really mean
00:18:33.320 is disagree with somebody
00:18:35.120 or you know
00:18:36.000 be mean to them
00:18:36.840 or yell at them
00:18:37.400 or whatever
00:18:37.700 but the image you have
00:18:39.280 is someone
00:18:39.600 bam
00:18:40.040 just shout it
00:18:40.640 calling them out
00:18:41.280 shouting it out
00:18:42.080 stopping the conversation
00:18:43.240 interjecting yourself into it
00:18:44.780 in the
00:18:45.860 in the old days
00:18:46.900 it was the people
00:18:47.560 you know
00:18:47.840 power to the people
00:18:49.480 now it's folks
00:18:50.660 folks is one of the
00:18:52.420 great leftist
00:18:53.260 demagoguery terms
00:18:54.380 you
00:18:54.880 whenever
00:18:55.680 it's only Democrat politicians
00:18:57.320 who say
00:18:57.600 now listen folks
00:18:58.360 look
00:18:59.140 these are good folks
00:19:00.180 these people
00:19:00.800 Joe Biden would use
00:19:02.060 Barack Obama
00:19:03.080 would use it
00:19:03.740 I hope it hasn't
00:19:05.160 crept too far
00:19:05.920 into conservative language
00:19:06.920 they say the folks
00:19:07.940 the folks
00:19:08.460 the people
00:19:08.920 you know
00:19:09.440 there was another group
00:19:10.100 of socialists
00:19:11.540 about 70 years ago
00:19:12.600 that used the folk
00:19:13.480 a lot
00:19:13.940 they really had an
00:19:14.840 ideology of the folk
00:19:15.860 and a similar
00:19:17.320 background too
00:19:18.300 in the 70s
00:19:20.060 you'd hear liberation
00:19:21.020 they'd say
00:19:21.520 you've got to be liberated
00:19:22.520 we need to liberate people
00:19:23.800 liberate these
00:19:24.760 oppressed folks
00:19:26.380 do I get a prize
00:19:28.160 if I use them all
00:19:28.840 in a sentence
00:19:29.300 liberate
00:19:30.100 you've got to liberate
00:19:30.740 but now it's safe space
00:19:32.360 they mean the same thing
00:19:33.580 they sound like
00:19:34.400 they mean the opposite thing
00:19:35.320 what liberating
00:19:36.100 is being freed
00:19:36.960 and safe space
00:19:38.040 is being coddled
00:19:38.720 and protected
00:19:39.260 but it's being used
00:19:40.480 to refer to the same thing
00:19:41.680 they're just twisting
00:19:42.720 the language
00:19:43.280 and so that you can see
00:19:44.480 the twisting
00:19:45.020 and the evolution
00:19:45.620 of the ideology
00:19:46.520 and this
00:19:47.780 this doesn't only apply
00:19:49.180 to exclusively
00:19:50.920 activist language
00:19:51.960 some of it bleeds
00:19:53.180 into mainstream
00:19:54.140 but you'll notice
00:19:55.360 the left speaks
00:19:57.140 in language
00:19:57.620 the right does not speak in
00:19:59.200 we are speaking
00:20:00.120 different languages
00:20:00.820 and it's because
00:20:02.080 the left has
00:20:02.640 a very particular
00:20:03.500 ideology
00:20:04.100 obviously
00:20:05.060 you've heard
00:20:05.620 the phrase woke
00:20:06.600 you know woke
00:20:07.480 is really good
00:20:08.120 and when you're
00:20:09.340 sleeping on a purple
00:20:10.000 mattress
00:20:10.300 you'll never want
00:20:10.860 to woke up
00:20:11.360 because you'll feel
00:20:12.680 really comfy
00:20:13.280 you know
00:20:13.500 you'll be sleeping
00:20:14.380 like a baby
00:20:14.960 but what about
00:20:16.860 other language
00:20:17.380 have you ever noticed
00:20:18.200 that on the left
00:20:18.880 that people say
00:20:20.300 that everything
00:20:20.720 is amazing
00:20:21.480 this is a subtle one
00:20:23.440 because it's a normal
00:20:24.300 word
00:20:24.780 but it's so overused
00:20:27.320 and abused
00:20:27.780 on the left
00:20:28.160 they say it's amazing
00:20:28.980 everything's amazing
00:20:30.160 oh she's amazing
00:20:31.780 oh he's amazing
00:20:32.880 well usually not he
00:20:33.800 because he's like
00:20:34.340 a cisgendered white male
00:20:35.200 but she's amazing
00:20:36.480 this is amazing
00:20:37.360 amazing amazing
00:20:38.020 total hyperbole
00:20:39.640 and it's
00:20:40.940 I think the hyperbole
00:20:43.080 is there
00:20:43.440 to force you
00:20:44.820 to agree with them
00:20:45.720 I think it's
00:20:46.360 everything
00:20:46.980 it's amazing
00:20:47.660 it's amazing
00:20:47.980 if you disagree with this
00:20:48.960 you're not one of us
00:20:49.740 another one is
00:20:51.000 I can't even
00:20:52.180 you know
00:20:53.040 I can't even
00:20:54.100 conservatives don't use
00:20:55.360 this phrase a lot
00:20:56.260 it's usually used
00:20:57.860 by liberal white girls
00:20:59.360 how much can't
00:21:00.780 could a white girl
00:21:01.300 even if a white girl
00:21:02.000 could not even
00:21:02.700 is an important riddle
00:21:04.600 of our day
00:21:05.100 I can't even
00:21:06.340 and here you see
00:21:07.620 the same thing
00:21:08.160 it's like the flip side
00:21:08.860 of amazing
00:21:09.320 it's this dismissal
00:21:10.660 it's this
00:21:11.260 these extremes
00:21:13.380 I can't even
00:21:14.120 I'm removing myself
00:21:14.900 from this
00:21:15.260 if it's without
00:21:16.100 my world view
00:21:17.240 then I'm not going
00:21:17.720 to talk about it
00:21:18.320 the other one
00:21:19.380 did you notice
00:21:20.220 lefties do this
00:21:21.140 they write it
00:21:21.620 on the internet
00:21:22.040 a lot
00:21:22.340 but they say it too
00:21:23.040 it's yes
00:21:24.220 Y-A-A-A-A-A-A-S
00:21:26.940 yes
00:21:27.360 and it's that
00:21:28.940 same extreme
00:21:29.800 like why don't you
00:21:30.200 just say yes
00:21:30.880 yes is fine
00:21:31.940 yes okay
00:21:32.640 good fine
00:21:33.580 very good
00:21:34.460 yeah
00:21:34.780 yes
00:21:35.740 they scream it at you
00:21:36.780 because you have to
00:21:37.680 be as enthusiastic
00:21:39.080 about all of these
00:21:40.220 ideological structures
00:21:41.580 as they are
00:21:42.400 or you're not one of them
00:21:43.540 you're not an ally
00:21:44.260 be an ally
00:21:44.880 yes
00:21:45.560 another one is
00:21:46.880 adulting
00:21:47.540 no conservative
00:21:49.640 would ever
00:21:50.120 earnestly use
00:21:51.240 the word adulting
00:21:52.300 but they use the word
00:21:53.180 adulting
00:21:53.620 because they're children
00:21:54.280 so they're children
00:21:55.400 and like every time
00:21:56.200 they pick up a bill
00:21:57.140 every once in a while
00:21:58.200 maybe they pick up
00:21:58.900 the bill for brunch
00:21:59.620 and they say
00:22:00.200 oh I'm adulting
00:22:00.840 oh you know
00:22:01.840 I paid my rent this month
00:22:02.860 I'm adulting
00:22:03.600 you think
00:22:04.340 well you're an adult
00:22:05.080 you should
00:22:05.420 you should exclusively
00:22:07.520 be adulting
00:22:08.380 you should
00:22:08.860 the aberration
00:22:10.580 should be when
00:22:11.040 you're childing
00:22:11.800 don't child
00:22:12.540 adult
00:22:13.040 you know
00:22:13.460 but they use it
00:22:14.420 and this is an
00:22:15.260 ideological word
00:22:16.260 because in their minds
00:22:17.420 they are to be coddled
00:22:18.840 they are to remain
00:22:19.760 in perpetual childhood
00:22:20.780 a perpetual childhood
00:22:21.940 where you don't have
00:22:22.620 people say offensive
00:22:23.340 things to you
00:22:23.940 where you're not
00:22:24.560 expected to work very hard
00:22:25.680 where you're not
00:22:26.080 expected to fall in line
00:22:27.480 and take orders
00:22:28.020 you have to
00:22:28.480 that's adulting
00:22:30.100 we only do that sometimes
00:22:31.140 we do that
00:22:31.560 as little as we can
00:22:33.540 another lefty millennial phrase
00:22:36.120 is sorry not sorry
00:22:37.700 sorry I'm not sorry
00:22:38.620 you hear this one a lot
00:22:41.040 that's another one
00:22:41.960 of like I can't even
00:22:43.280 that's another one
00:22:43.900 especially for the
00:22:44.720 the lefty white girls
00:22:46.000 and they say
00:22:46.860 I'm sorry I'm not sorry
00:22:48.120 and it's a sort of
00:22:49.680 throwaway line
00:22:50.380 but it actually does
00:22:52.660 convey something
00:22:53.400 which is
00:22:53.980 there's no apology
00:22:56.600 I don't have to
00:22:57.980 apologize for who I am
00:22:59.220 I'm great just as I am
00:23:01.140 you should love me
00:23:02.380 just the way I am
00:23:03.420 I don't need to change
00:23:05.080 I don't need to try
00:23:06.220 to become better
00:23:06.860 I don't need to even
00:23:07.760 adult too frequently
00:23:08.780 I just
00:23:09.760 I'm an ally
00:23:10.520 and therefore
00:23:11.360 you know
00:23:12.120 I'm sorry I'm not sorry
00:23:13.840 I'm totally
00:23:14.720 I'm not considering
00:23:15.480 another point of view
00:23:16.300 I'm not considering
00:23:17.460 your point of view
00:23:17.900 I'm dismissing it
00:23:18.700 there's a dismissiveness
00:23:19.640 to all of this language
00:23:20.460 and then my favorite
00:23:21.780 one
00:23:22.120 this is the way
00:23:23.620 you know
00:23:24.260 that you are talking
00:23:25.040 to a lefty
00:23:25.760 and probably a millennial
00:23:26.960 is when
00:23:27.920 they refer
00:23:29.420 to their
00:23:30.040 husband or wife
00:23:31.680 or boyfriend
00:23:32.140 or girlfriend
00:23:32.660 as their partner
00:23:33.840 now I'm not talking
00:23:35.540 about like a gay guy
00:23:37.200 saying this is my partner
00:23:38.260 that's been around
00:23:38.900 for a long time
00:23:39.440 my life partner
00:23:40.380 or my significant other
00:23:41.920 or whatever
00:23:42.320 the euphemism is
00:23:43.500 I'm talking about
00:23:44.680 when a straight guy
00:23:46.040 refers to his girlfriend
00:23:47.620 as his partner
00:23:48.700 or a straight girl
00:23:50.940 refers to her boyfriend
00:23:52.440 as her partner
00:23:53.460 or her husband
00:23:54.480 as her partner
00:23:54.980 I've noticed this
00:23:56.340 with multiple
00:23:57.780 acquaintances of mine
00:23:58.960 even some friends of mine
00:24:00.440 so this is my partner
00:24:01.580 so and so
00:24:01.960 I say oh
00:24:02.300 what you guys
00:24:02.960 start a business together
00:24:03.820 did you
00:24:04.640 oh really
00:24:05.140 congratulations
00:24:05.860 what business
00:24:06.760 did you start
00:24:07.280 oh are you
00:24:07.940 are you really
00:24:09.240 are you a lesbian
00:24:10.660 that identifies as a man
00:24:13.680 and therefore
00:24:14.140 you're her partner
00:24:15.360 what is it
00:24:15.900 because they won't
00:24:17.040 that language
00:24:17.920 is obviously ideological
00:24:19.320 the language
00:24:20.560 precludes those
00:24:22.800 patriarchal structures
00:24:24.220 of husbands
00:24:25.000 and wives
00:24:25.780 this idea that
00:24:26.700 there are social roles
00:24:27.720 that accompany
00:24:28.900 biological sex
00:24:30.420 that accompany
00:24:31.000 being a husband
00:24:31.860 or a wife
00:24:32.280 or a boyfriend
00:24:32.680 or a girlfriend
00:24:33.120 it's a rejection of that
00:24:34.200 and to use that language
00:24:35.100 is to say
00:24:35.540 I reject these social roles
00:24:37.760 I reject the tradition
00:24:39.360 that I've inherited
00:24:40.040 I reject those things
00:24:41.300 I am a modern person
00:24:43.340 who's totally free
00:24:45.240 and liberated
00:24:45.920 and I reject
00:24:47.860 biological categories
00:24:49.540 of sex
00:24:50.020 that's what happens
00:24:51.080 when you use that
00:24:51.700 and the same is true
00:24:52.920 of conservatives
00:24:53.440 when conservatives say
00:24:54.520 this is my wife
00:24:55.240 rather than saying
00:24:56.260 this is my partner
00:24:57.100 you know sweet little Elise
00:24:57.940 is my partner
00:24:58.580 I'm not a man
00:24:59.460 I'm not a partner
00:25:00.100 you're my wife
00:25:01.000 I'm using it
00:25:01.500 as an example
00:25:02.300 when you
00:25:03.140 if you were to say
00:25:04.400 those things
00:25:04.800 and you're saying
00:25:05.220 I believe
00:25:06.240 that there is
00:25:07.400 a categorical difference
00:25:08.380 between men and women
00:25:09.160 you are stating that
00:25:10.360 and these days
00:25:10.920 in certain ideological quarters
00:25:12.260 on the left
00:25:12.720 that is not acceptable
00:25:14.180 that is not kosher
00:25:15.080 at all
00:25:16.360 this brings us back
00:25:19.020 to President Trump
00:25:19.960 as most things do
00:25:21.160 because President Trump
00:25:23.700 uses language appropriately
00:25:25.420 did you read this story
00:25:27.340 this news article
00:25:28.060 about a couple
00:25:29.120 their names are
00:25:30.240 Nate and Julia Sharp
00:25:31.500 and they're raising
00:25:33.180 their three year old twins
00:25:34.980 Zyler and Caden
00:25:36.340 to be gender neutral
00:25:38.140 their three year old twins
00:25:40.080 Zyler and Caden
00:25:40.860 who definitely
00:25:41.500 will not be
00:25:42.220 completely messed up
00:25:43.180 and bullied
00:25:43.620 because of this terrible parenting
00:25:44.820 they're raising them
00:25:46.480 to be gender neutral
00:25:47.220 they're calling them
00:25:47.920 theybes
00:25:48.560 you know not him or her
00:25:50.800 but they
00:25:51.320 theybes
00:25:51.880 because I guess
00:25:52.880 they don't realize
00:25:53.780 that baby
00:25:54.360 is a gender neutral term too
00:25:56.000 it's not
00:25:56.460 it's like baby
00:25:57.460 is a gendered word
00:25:59.120 anyway
00:25:59.480 they're raising them
00:26:00.880 to be that way
00:26:01.560 and
00:26:02.300 it's because
00:26:04.260 they
00:26:04.820 they think
00:26:06.080 very wrongly
00:26:06.960 this is a left wing idea
00:26:08.260 but it's very stupid
00:26:09.320 which is that
00:26:10.300 if you erase
00:26:11.720 all the prejudices
00:26:12.840 from your mind
00:26:13.500 if you erase
00:26:13.980 all the preconceptions
00:26:14.860 all of the judgments
00:26:15.820 from your mind
00:26:16.540 then you'll be
00:26:17.520 in a tabula rasa
00:26:18.720 a perfectly
00:26:20.440 clean slate world
00:26:21.920 and then you can
00:26:23.220 rebuild yourself
00:26:24.760 with this new
00:26:25.520 good ideology
00:26:26.540 the good left wing ideology
00:26:27.940 you just have to get rid
00:26:28.980 of all the traditions
00:26:29.760 all of the inherited institutions
00:26:31.260 all of the past
00:26:32.480 and then you'll be left
00:26:33.840 to build yourself up
00:26:35.920 but that isn't true
00:26:37.140 it isn't like
00:26:39.420 you can have a clear mind
00:26:40.460 that exists
00:26:41.160 outside of language
00:26:42.220 outside of traditions
00:26:43.120 that makes up your mind
00:26:44.900 the language that you use
00:26:45.920 makes up your mind
00:26:46.740 it makes up how you
00:26:47.660 see the world
00:26:48.620 you can't ever
00:26:49.540 just get rid of that
00:26:50.340 if you were to get rid of all of that
00:26:51.380 you'd get rid of your mind entirely
00:26:52.580 and that's certainly
00:26:53.180 what it seems like
00:26:53.860 the left has been doing
00:26:55.140 you have to bring in certain things
00:26:56.460 there was that guy
00:26:57.420 at the Planet Fitness
00:26:58.600 who
00:26:59.200 he went into Planet Fitness
00:27:00.960 he stripped down naked
00:27:02.060 and he started working out
00:27:03.480 and they called the cops on him
00:27:04.740 he said
00:27:04.980 well I thought this was
00:27:05.760 a judgment free zone
00:27:07.100 I thought this was
00:27:08.500 that is the logical conclusion
00:27:10.780 of the judgment free zone
00:27:11.880 there is no judgment free zone
00:27:13.300 you can't
00:27:13.700 you have to make judgments
00:27:15.340 you have to discern
00:27:16.440 and discriminate
00:27:17.120 even the choice
00:27:18.380 by the way
00:27:18.780 to call your twins
00:27:19.800 Zyler and Kaden
00:27:20.740 to call them
00:27:21.800 babies
00:27:22.460 to call them gender neutral
00:27:23.720 and pretend
00:27:24.340 the gender doesn't exist
00:27:25.620 that is a decision
00:27:26.960 that is a judgment
00:27:27.820 you might pretend
00:27:29.020 that that is the absence
00:27:29.960 of a judgment
00:27:30.520 but any of those things
00:27:31.640 naming anything
00:27:32.700 actively participating
00:27:33.920 at all in the world
00:27:34.720 is making a judgment
00:27:35.960 the question is
00:27:37.280 what judgment
00:27:37.940 are you making
00:27:39.440 the Trump of it all
00:27:40.420 that is so good about this
00:27:41.520 is that Trump
00:27:42.400 uses his own language
00:27:44.340 you know
00:27:45.580 Trump does not
00:27:46.640 use these buzzwords
00:27:47.720 he doesn't use
00:27:48.640 the left wing buzzwords
00:27:49.480 he doesn't use
00:27:50.040 the right wing buzzwords
00:27:51.000 he is anti-ideological
00:27:53.180 he is an anti-ideological guy
00:27:55.040 and that is very good
00:27:56.040 some conservatives
00:27:56.980 really like ideology
00:27:58.060 I don't
00:27:59.020 I come from the tradition
00:28:00.360 of Edmund Burke
00:28:01.160 and Russell Kirk
00:28:02.540 and Michael Oak
00:28:03.280 shot all of these
00:28:03.940 great conservative writers
00:28:05.560 who said
00:28:06.080 before all else
00:28:07.880 reject ideology
00:28:09.080 because ideology
00:28:09.700 is too narrow
00:28:10.520 it never takes in
00:28:11.660 the whole of human experience
00:28:12.620 you're always going
00:28:13.240 to get something wrong
00:28:14.020 you're always
00:28:14.740 and the further
00:28:15.400 you go down ideology
00:28:16.260 the more wrong
00:28:17.120 you're going to be
00:28:17.880 and that's how
00:28:18.800 President Trump is
00:28:19.560 he's not a checklist
00:28:20.640 kind of guy
00:28:21.400 there was a report
00:28:22.320 a really good report
00:28:23.920 on Otto Warmbier's
00:28:25.860 saga in North Korea
00:28:26.920 President Trump
00:28:28.080 and the administration
00:28:28.920 getting that American
00:28:30.460 student out of North Korea
00:28:31.760 even though he'd been
00:28:32.560 brutalized
00:28:34.000 and basically
00:28:35.780 had no brain function
00:28:36.780 by the time he got back
00:28:37.760 the decision to do that
00:28:40.080 if you haven't read the piece
00:28:40.960 it's in GQ
00:28:41.500 it's worth checking out
00:28:42.400 the decision behind that
00:28:43.820 as it's reported in that piece
00:28:45.180 from Donald Trump
00:28:46.080 is not ideological
00:28:47.160 he didn't run down
00:28:48.740 all of the checklists
00:28:50.460 and say
00:28:50.840 oh but
00:28:51.320 then we've got to do this
00:28:52.520 for this North Korean diplomat
00:28:53.720 and that'll imply this
00:28:54.680 and then
00:28:55.040 this doesn't fit into this strategy
00:28:56.900 and no he didn't
00:28:58.360 he saw the situation
00:28:59.720 for what it was
00:29:00.360 the people in the room
00:29:01.660 said that he was behaving
00:29:02.420 like a father
00:29:03.140 more than like a politician
00:29:05.000 and he said
00:29:05.960 get the kid home
00:29:07.080 gotta get him home
00:29:08.420 is he home
00:29:08.800 is he safe
00:29:09.280 is he this
00:29:09.680 is he that
00:29:10.060 there's this kind of gut instinct
00:29:11.900 we
00:29:12.460 in this modern world
00:29:14.680 and especially
00:29:15.420 in this lefty world
00:29:16.220 we like to pretend
00:29:18.080 that everything
00:29:18.740 can be rational
00:29:19.660 if we can't rationalize
00:29:21.400 something
00:29:21.620 we don't want to do it
00:29:22.480 if we can't
00:29:23.160 think of the theory
00:29:24.020 of something
00:29:24.420 we don't want to do it
00:29:25.280 that's what the left does
00:29:26.340 that's not what
00:29:26.820 the conservatives do
00:29:27.680 we can rely on other things
00:29:29.280 we can rely on faith
00:29:30.120 we can rely on instinct
00:29:31.340 we can rely on
00:29:32.780 you know
00:29:33.040 our gut feeling
00:29:34.240 and institutions
00:29:35.400 that have guided us
00:29:36.220 that is the great advantage
00:29:37.820 that conservatives have
00:29:38.680 over the left
00:29:39.420 the left which has to
00:29:40.460 turn everything
00:29:41.400 into an ideology
00:29:42.260 who cares if it works
00:29:43.240 in practice
00:29:43.680 does it work in theory
00:29:44.620 and that isn't Trump
00:29:45.840 people get upset about that
00:29:47.240 they say Trump
00:29:47.720 isn't ideological enough
00:29:48.840 I'll take it
00:29:49.640 I am happy to take that
00:29:50.680 all the time
00:29:51.200 you know
00:29:51.740 the Trump Iran tweet
00:29:53.280 the fire and fury
00:29:54.920 and it's gonna go down
00:29:55.680 we're gonna you know
00:29:56.360 knock your socks off
00:29:57.220 that
00:29:58.020 that's a great example
00:29:59.720 of this
00:30:00.140 you know
00:30:00.840 Javad Zarif
00:30:02.880 which is
00:30:03.760 I think that was
00:30:04.300 John Kerry's ex-boyfriend
00:30:05.540 from when he was
00:30:06.060 secretary of state
00:30:06.740 Javad Zarif
00:30:07.540 the foreign minister
00:30:08.160 of Iran
00:30:08.660 he responded to Trump
00:30:09.920 and he said
00:30:10.180 we're not
00:30:10.620 we're not impressed
00:30:11.500 we're not
00:30:12.440 this doesn't mean anything
00:30:13.680 nonsense
00:30:14.360 I think
00:30:15.000 I think Iran was impressed
00:30:16.260 because I think
00:30:16.760 their currency
00:30:17.320 which was already
00:30:18.220 at record lows
00:30:18.940 plunged yesterday
00:30:20.200 after President Trump
00:30:21.060 sent that tweet
00:30:21.720 he's working
00:30:22.960 against the expertise
00:30:24.500 of all the technocrats
00:30:25.660 who've read all of the books
00:30:27.080 and they know so well
00:30:28.160 and they've you know
00:30:28.840 look come on
00:30:29.460 I've read all the books
00:30:30.400 and Trump hasn't read
00:30:31.140 any of the books
00:30:31.740 knowledge isn't about books
00:30:33.320 books can contain
00:30:34.760 technical knowledge
00:30:35.500 technical knowledge
00:30:36.220 is great
00:30:36.700 but there is a
00:30:37.640 practical knowledge too
00:30:38.600 and that is what
00:30:39.380 this administration
00:30:40.420 is exhibiting
00:30:41.520 and it's working
00:30:42.600 and this is no surprise
00:30:44.060 because books
00:30:45.320 are just a paltry
00:30:46.260 little technical
00:30:47.180 approximation
00:30:47.760 of reality
00:30:50.360 of real knowledge
00:30:51.180 I have got to say
00:30:52.640 goodbye
00:30:52.920 to Facebook and YouTube
00:30:53.880 and I was just about
00:30:54.820 to get to
00:30:55.940 to one
00:30:57.220 the logical
00:30:59.300 comedic conclusions
00:31:00.500 of leftist ideology
00:31:01.740 which is the
00:31:03.080 no more comedy

00:31:37.720 the Iranian real
00:31:39.000 plunging to record
00:31:40.480 lows yesterday
00:31:41.280 because fire
00:31:43.380 and fury
00:31:43.900 are gonna rain down
00:31:44.960 from either heaven
00:31:47.160 or from whatever
00:31:48.180 airplanes the United
00:31:49.680 States sends over
00:31:50.320 to bomb them
00:31:50.780 yeah this is really good
00:31:51.940 this is good stuff
00:31:52.740 and it's
00:31:53.620 not only is it
00:31:54.460 Javad Zarif tiers
00:31:55.520 but it's also
00:31:56.660 the expert tiers
00:31:57.980 the expert
00:31:58.680 technocrat
00:31:59.520 ideologue
00:32:00.200 ooh ooh ooh
00:32:00.860 we know better than Trump
00:32:01.820 ooh ooh ooh
00:32:02.240 nope no you don't
00:32:02.980 mmm
00:32:04.640 very good
00:32:05.740 go to dailywire.com
00:32:06.680 we'll be right back
00:32:07.400 a lot more to get to
00:32:08.040 so the left
00:32:19.160 has this language
00:32:20.380 they have their bundle
00:32:21.480 their sack
00:32:22.280 of vocabulary
00:32:23.120 that they can use
00:32:24.140 that they can pick from
00:32:24.960 and it's really
00:32:26.040 shrunk their world
00:32:26.940 and it's really
00:32:27.660 shrunk
00:32:28.300 the experience
00:32:29.380 of the world
00:32:29.900 and one aspect of it
00:32:31.020 is it's deprived
00:32:31.780 that world of humor
00:32:32.800 because everything
00:32:34.260 now is about
00:32:35.060 being an ally
00:32:36.520 and about privilege
00:32:37.360 and about intersectionality
00:32:39.100 and oppression
00:32:39.620 and safe space
00:32:40.500 and everything's unsafe
00:32:41.740 and you know
00:32:43.140 and you've seen this over time
00:32:44.780 the lefty comedians
00:32:45.740 have started crying on air
00:32:46.880 they don't tell jokes anymore
00:32:47.820 they just cry
00:32:48.600 you've seen this
00:32:49.700 even college kids
00:32:50.680 who are supposed to be
00:32:51.680 having fun
00:32:52.280 college is a very good time
00:32:53.940 I assure you
00:32:55.060 there's a time and a place
00:32:55.860 for everything
00:32:56.280 and that place is college
00:32:57.240 if you spend your college experience
00:32:59.100 frowning
00:32:59.920 you did it wrong
00:33:00.780 you're not supposed to do it
00:33:01.980 that way
00:33:02.340 but they have to
00:33:03.260 that's the conclusion
00:33:04.720 of their ideology
00:33:05.420 this has now bled over
00:33:06.740 into comedy
00:33:07.300 there's a comedy special app
00:33:09.560 called Nanette
00:33:11.040 which is
00:33:12.520 the opposite of comedy
00:33:13.580 here's the
00:33:15.660 let's just see the trailer
00:33:16.500 I don't feel comfortable
00:33:23.320 in a small town
00:33:24.140 I get a bit tense
00:33:25.140 mainly because
00:33:25.940 I'm in this situation
00:33:26.920 and in a small town
00:33:29.160 that's alright
00:33:29.960 from a distance
00:33:31.100 people are like
00:33:32.780 oh good bloke
00:33:33.780 I love being mistaken
00:33:37.480 for a man
00:33:37.940 I wouldn't want to be
00:33:39.200 a straight white man
00:33:40.100 not if he paid me
00:33:41.320 although the pay
00:33:42.160 would be
00:33:42.700 substantially better
00:33:43.780 I do think
00:33:48.380 I have to quit comedy
00:33:49.240 though
00:33:49.560 it's probably not the forum
00:33:51.500 to make such an announcement
00:33:53.060 is it?
00:33:53.680 I've built a career
00:33:55.940 out of self-deprecating humour
00:33:57.900 and I simply will not do that anymore
00:34:00.380 not to myself
00:34:01.140 or anybody who identifies with me
00:34:03.580 do you understand what self-deprecation means?
00:34:08.500 it's not humility
00:34:10.420 it's humiliation
00:34:12.200 I want my story
00:34:16.100 heard
00:34:17.000 because
00:34:18.800 what I would have done
00:34:20.500 to have heard
00:34:21.140 a story like mine
00:34:22.340 that's it
00:34:31.160 for those of you
00:34:32.060 who weren't watching
00:34:32.780 it says
00:34:33.620 it's a comedy special
00:34:34.860 arguing against comedy
00:34:36.620 and of course it is
00:34:39.220 because in this environment
00:34:40.480 in this ideological framework
00:34:42.180 if you use the language
00:34:43.120 that the left uses
00:34:44.020 if you see the world
00:34:45.300 through the lens
00:34:46.040 that the left sees the world
00:34:47.240 you can't laugh
00:34:48.680 what's funny?
00:34:50.780 what's funny about that?
00:34:51.900 it's misery
00:34:52.500 it's horrible
00:34:53.540 it's scary
00:34:54.300 it's terrible
00:34:54.880 it's awful
00:34:55.300 that is the logical conclusion
00:34:57.320 of leftism
00:34:59.560 it's the preclusion of comedy
00:35:00.900 they say
00:35:01.940 I forget who
00:35:03.260 I think Horace Walpole said this
00:35:04.600 that life is a comedy
00:35:06.360 to the man who thinks
00:35:07.520 and a tragedy
00:35:08.460 to the man who feels
00:35:09.620 and this is like
00:35:11.320 this is facts
00:35:12.200 don't care about your feelings
00:35:13.160 right?
00:35:13.480 the people who elevate
00:35:15.320 just feeling
00:35:16.200 over any kind of constraint
00:35:18.900 or any broader vision
00:35:20.200 than that
00:35:20.580 they're miserable
00:35:21.540 they're so sad
00:35:22.840 and miserable
00:35:23.280 she gets up there
00:35:23.900 I mean apparently
00:35:24.400 in this special
00:35:25.080 she tells experiences
00:35:26.760 of rape
00:35:27.440 I mean it's really brutal
00:35:29.360 and they said
00:35:30.460 we can't do comedy
00:35:31.560 no more comedy anymore
00:35:32.820 Tig Notaro
00:35:34.680 who's another comedian
00:35:35.760 she said
00:35:36.280 of this special
00:35:36.940 she said quote
00:35:37.540 Nanette
00:35:38.320 should be required viewing
00:35:39.940 if you're a human being
00:35:41.140 it really takes days
00:35:43.580 to take in
00:35:44.300 everything she presented
00:35:45.420 to fully comprehend it all
00:35:47.040 the use of human being
00:35:48.380 by the way
00:35:48.720 is another one of these
00:35:49.400 lefty words that they do
00:35:50.420 because they don't like
00:35:52.000 gendered language
00:35:52.720 they don't realize man
00:35:54.220 or mankind
00:35:54.820 is gender neutral
00:35:55.980 so they'll say
00:35:56.940 human being
00:35:57.620 just be a good human being
00:35:58.980 just be a human being
00:36:00.000 that's a more subtle
00:36:01.440 example of that too
00:36:02.320 but it's a really sad thing
00:36:04.740 because
00:36:05.100 this woman's job
00:36:06.980 is to tell jokes
00:36:07.780 it's comedy
00:36:08.500 right
00:36:08.760 but she says no
00:36:09.480 no
00:36:10.220 in our world
00:36:10.920 there is no such thing
00:36:12.040 as comedy
00:36:12.500 not just
00:36:13.320 I can't do comedy
00:36:14.320 apparently she can do comedy
00:36:15.400 she is a professional comedian
00:36:16.760 she's had a career
00:36:17.600 okay she can do it
00:36:18.880 what she's saying
00:36:19.580 is that
00:36:19.860 the logical possibility
00:36:21.660 of comedy
00:36:22.460 no longer exists
00:36:23.500 and it's because of that
00:36:24.440 narrow ideology
00:36:25.120 here's a clip
00:36:25.740 from the special itself
00:36:26.840 we think reputation
00:36:29.320 is more important
00:36:30.340 than anything else
00:36:31.240 including humanity
00:36:32.860 and do you know
00:36:33.740 who takes the mantle
00:36:34.740 of this myopic
00:36:35.720 adulation
00:36:36.520 of reputation
00:36:38.200 celebrities
00:36:39.740 and comedians
00:36:41.000 are not immune
00:36:42.300 they're all
00:36:43.300 cut from the same
00:36:44.700 cloth
00:36:45.420 Donald Trump
00:36:46.640 Pablo Picasso
00:36:47.800 Harvey Weinstein
00:36:49.480 Bill Cosby
00:36:50.860 Woody Allen
00:36:51.540 Roman Polanski
00:36:52.680 these men
00:36:54.540 are not exceptions
00:36:55.340 they are the rule
00:36:56.740 and they're not individuals
00:36:58.000 they are our stories
00:36:59.560 and the moral of our story
00:37:00.860 is we don't give a
00:37:01.760 we don't give a
00:37:03.000 about women
00:37:04.500 or children
00:37:05.280 we only care
00:37:06.620 about a man's reputation
00:37:08.440 what about his humanity
00:37:10.740 these men control
00:37:13.200 our stories
00:37:14.480 and yet they have
00:37:15.660 a diminishing connection
00:37:16.880 to their own humanity
00:37:18.180 and we don't seem to mind
00:37:19.980 so long as they get
00:37:20.960 to hold on
00:37:21.580 to their precious reputation
00:37:23.420 reputation
00:37:25.900 hindsight
00:37:26.420 hindsight
00:37:26.440 is a gift
00:37:27.420 stop
00:37:28.080 wasting
00:37:28.860 my time
00:37:30.000 if you
00:37:32.320 look
00:37:34.900 I am angry
00:37:35.740 I apologise
00:37:39.160 I do
00:37:40.800 I apologise
00:37:41.720 I know
00:37:42.800 I know
00:37:44.040 there's a few people
00:37:44.820 in the room
00:37:45.300 are going
00:37:45.740 ah look
00:37:46.540 I think
00:37:47.400 I think she's lost
00:37:48.480 control of the tension
00:37:49.560 is there any joke
00:37:58.680 coming ever
00:37:59.500 or no
00:38:00.120 it's just
00:38:00.720 no of course not
00:38:02.080 because
00:38:02.620 she's just
00:38:03.540 angry
00:38:04.340 she's just
00:38:04.980 genuinely very angry
00:38:06.480 why is she so angry
00:38:07.880 you know
00:38:08.480 comedy can come
00:38:09.500 from places of pain
00:38:10.400 that's where comedy
00:38:11.380 often does come from
00:38:12.420 and what you do
00:38:13.560 is then you
00:38:14.180 focus on the absurdity
00:38:16.680 of certain pain
00:38:17.680 or you remove yourself
00:38:19.340 from it
00:38:19.680 or the incongruity
00:38:20.620 of pain
00:38:21.660 and suffering
00:38:23.480 and the absence
00:38:24.420 of suffering
00:38:24.960 there are ways
00:38:26.020 a lot of comedy
00:38:27.520 is about suffering
00:38:28.180 and pain
00:38:28.520 but she says
00:38:29.360 no we're not
00:38:30.220 going to do
00:38:30.520 the comedy anymore
00:38:31.360 no
00:38:31.820 there is no
00:38:33.020 world
00:38:34.000 in which
00:38:34.580 we can laugh
00:38:35.460 at this
00:38:35.820 why are we able
00:38:37.420 to laugh at pain
00:38:38.160 in the first place
00:38:39.420 you know
00:38:40.000 we've been talking
00:38:40.720 about comedy
00:38:41.140 a lot
00:38:41.500 in the last
00:38:42.840 couple days
00:38:43.440 can you make
00:38:44.680 a joke
00:38:45.020 about pedophiles
00:38:45.800 can you make
00:38:46.240 a joke
00:38:46.560 about
00:38:46.880 murder

00:38:48.440 a joke
00:38:48.600 yeah
00:38:48.780 you can make
00:38:49.380 a joke
00:38:49.660 about a lot
00:38:50.120 of things
00:38:50.540 you can make
00:38:50.980 a joke
00:38:51.240 about
00:38:51.400 can you make
00:38:51.780 a joke
00:38:52.100 about

00:38:55.080 a joke
00:38:55.420 about
00:38:55.920 the fall
00:38:57.500 of Rome
00:38:58.000 can you make
00:38:58.520 a joke
00:38:58.880 about
00:38:59.360 the

00:39:01.280 war
00:39:01.760 I don't
00:39:02.020 know
00:39:02.240 these are
00:39:02.640 tough issues
00:39:03.340 can I mean

00:39:06.700 funny
00:39:07.000 no it's
00:39:07.460 you've got
00:39:07.900 to be careful
00:39:08.340 when you're
00:39:08.660 dealing with
00:39:09.000 offensive material
00:39:09.860 can you make
00:39:10.560 a joke
00:39:10.820 about murder

00:39:15.360 maybe you've
00:39:16.280 got to be a

00:39:18.540 well you can
00:39:19.380 make a joke
00:39:19.900 about certain
00:39:20.640 horrible things
00:39:21.480 because there's
00:39:22.920 hope
00:39:23.280 because there's
00:39:23.780 comedy right
00:39:24.320 there's hope
00:39:24.700 at the end
00:39:25.200 if I think
00:39:26.760 as I do think
00:39:27.500 that this world
00:39:29.620 is in many ways
00:39:30.500 terribly fallen
00:39:32.020 sometimes absurd
00:39:33.880 but that there is
00:39:34.860 redemption
00:39:35.300 and hope
00:39:35.860 and hereafter
00:39:37.020 and a heaven
00:39:37.560 and a beatific
00:39:38.280 vision I can
00:39:38.820 look forward to
00:39:39.460 that will make
00:39:40.160 all of this pain
00:39:40.900 and suffering
00:39:41.280 in this world
00:39:41.660 look like nothing
00:39:42.400 look minuscule
00:39:43.440 by comparison
00:39:44.140 then I can
00:39:44.820 laugh at it
00:39:45.620 I can laugh
00:39:46.140 at these little
00:39:46.540 things
00:39:46.820 I sometimes
00:39:47.280 I joke about
00:39:48.360 this because
00:39:49.220 I had Ji Song Ho
00:39:50.260 that North Korean
00:39:51.340 defector on the
00:39:53.640 show a few weeks
00:39:54.440 ago and I'll be
00:39:55.440 like driving in the
00:39:56.300 car and my GPS
00:39:57.260 will buzz out
00:39:58.680 you know it won't
00:39:59.520 tell me to make
00:40:00.340 the turn until
00:40:01.160 slightly after I was
00:40:02.260 supposed to make
00:40:02.700 the turn and I'll
00:40:03.280 get very angry
00:40:04.220 I'll say oh this
00:40:05.100 was awful and then
00:40:06.120 sweet little Lisa
00:40:06.780 will say Mac do you
00:40:08.560 want to call Ji Song Ho
00:40:09.640 and tell him about
00:40:10.380 your terrible time
00:40:11.480 how awful this
00:40:12.500 suffering is
00:40:13.380 that's true
00:40:14.560 that's not the
00:40:15.020 worst thing in the
00:40:15.520 world is it
00:40:16.000 you know my GPS
00:40:17.400 doesn't work
00:40:18.000 in the grand scheme
00:40:19.500 of things doesn't
00:40:20.100 really matter
00:40:20.580 but because there
00:40:21.820 is a redemption
00:40:22.560 because there is
00:40:23.540 there are relative
00:40:25.500 pieces here
00:40:26.200 you can laugh at
00:40:26.960 that but if you
00:40:27.760 think as a lot of
00:40:28.740 the modern left
00:40:29.320 does that this
00:40:30.940 world is cruel
00:40:32.360 vicious
00:40:33.360 everyone's out to
00:40:34.360 get you
00:40:34.780 there's no light
00:40:35.500 at the end of
00:40:35.900 the tunnel
00:40:36.240 there's just
00:40:36.740 darkness suffering
00:40:38.020 you turn into
00:40:38.660 worm food at the
00:40:39.560 end
00:40:39.740 if you think that
00:40:40.800 it's hard to
00:40:41.720 laugh
00:40:42.040 because you
00:40:42.760 despair
00:40:43.220 then you have
00:40:44.100 despairing
00:40:44.780 and despair
00:40:45.260 means without
00:40:45.980 hope
00:40:46.360 not having
00:40:47.260 hope
00:40:47.560 so yeah
00:40:48.120 you despair
00:40:48.680 it isn't funny
00:40:49.280 that's the
00:40:49.860 logical conclusion
00:40:50.680 of their
00:40:50.980 world view
00:40:51.440 it's the
00:40:51.740 logical conclusion
00:40:52.480 of their
00:40:52.760 ideology
00:40:53.260 and their
00:40:53.860 ideology
00:40:54.300 is just all
00:40:55.040 of this
00:40:55.480 stuff
00:40:56.360 this language
00:40:57.000 that they
00:40:57.380 use
00:40:57.660 their every
00:40:58.260 their every
00:40:58.980 day
00:40:59.300 but before we
00:41:00.660 go I will
00:41:01.640 point out that
00:41:02.380 the total absence
00:41:03.260 of humor now
00:41:03.780 it's not just
00:41:04.340 the former
00:41:05.120 comedians
00:41:05.640 not just
00:41:06.120 Netflix
00:41:06.460 the chief
00:41:08.200 metro political
00:41:09.040 correspondent
00:41:09.540 for the New York
00:41:10.240 Times
00:41:10.680 Shane Goldmacher
00:41:12.160 he watched
00:41:13.320 this interview
00:41:14.700 by Ali Stuckey
00:41:15.780 friend of the
00:41:16.220 show Ali Stuckey
00:41:16.980 this mock
00:41:18.120 satirical interview
00:41:19.240 where she
00:41:20.120 pretends to
00:41:20.660 interview Ocasio
00:41:21.400 Cortez
00:41:21.760 and it's kind
00:41:22.080 of funny
00:41:22.400 he responds
00:41:23.680 in the perfect
00:41:24.720 leftist way
00:41:25.260 here is that
00:41:25.760 interview
00:41:26.180 Alexandria
00:41:27.720 thanks for being
00:41:28.640 here
00:41:28.960 thank you

00:41:30.740 do you have
00:41:31.420 any experience
00:41:32.700 that qualifies
00:41:33.900 you for this
00:41:34.480 job
00:41:34.800 I was growing
00:41:35.620 up during
00:41:36.260 the Clinton
00:41:37.140 era
00:41:37.640 and then
00:41:39.240 basically
00:41:39.760 when I was
00:41:40.320 in middle
00:41:40.960 school
00:41:41.340 9-11
00:41:41.840 happened
00:41:42.440 do you
00:41:45.880 have
00:41:46.220 any
00:41:47.460 knowledge
00:41:48.020 whatsoever
00:41:49.020 about how
00:41:50.300 our political
00:41:51.160 system works
00:41:52.060 yikes
00:41:54.960 it's really
00:41:58.400 good it goes
00:41:58.900 on it's worth
00:41:59.400 watching the
00:42:00.160 whole thing
00:42:00.620 but look
00:42:01.900 she's obviously
00:42:02.860 on a different
00:42:03.500 set she's on
00:42:04.260 a different
00:42:04.600 background
00:42:05.080 she's wearing
00:42:05.780 different
00:42:06.100 clothing
00:42:06.540 than the
00:42:06.920 interviewer
00:42:07.440 in the
00:42:07.980 interview
00:42:08.500 with Ocasio
00:42:09.700 Cortez
00:42:10.100 is and
00:42:10.860 that interview
00:42:11.440 clip between
00:42:12.320 the Hoover
00:42:14.100 Institution
00:42:14.700 or I'm sorry
00:42:15.620 Margaret Hoover
00:42:16.200 and Ocasio
00:42:17.100 Cortez
00:42:17.400 went viral
00:42:18.200 everybody saw
00:42:18.880 it right
00:42:19.160 and so
00:42:19.840 Ali who
00:42:20.520 does satire
00:42:21.460 is doing a
00:42:22.240 little satire
00:42:22.780 video and it
00:42:23.240 was very
00:42:23.520 funny
00:42:23.780 this is how
00:42:24.720 the New York
00:42:25.140 Times chief
00:42:25.580 political
00:42:25.900 correspondent
00:42:26.520 responded
00:42:27.120 he said
00:42:27.520 Shane Gold
00:42:28.280 maker
00:42:28.640 Gold
00:42:29.080 mocker

00:42:35.820 Facebook
00:42:36.200 in less
00:42:36.840 than 24
00:42:37.400 hours
00:42:37.780 interview
00:42:38.420 didn't
00:42:39.100 happen
00:42:39.480 it takes
00:42:40.320 clips
00:42:40.700 from Margaret
00:42:41.280 Hoover's
00:42:41.760 show
00:42:41.920 and edits
00:42:42.720 in faux
00:42:43.400 questions
00:42:43.940 not labeled
00:42:45.100 satire
00:42:45.800 other than
00:42:46.400 the winky
00:42:46.840 emoji
00:42:47.320 that labels
00:42:47.980 it satire
00:42:48.580 get this
00:42:49.800 man up
00:42:50.340 Pulitzer
00:42:50.820 this guy
00:42:52.120 this is the
00:42:53.020 kind of
00:42:53.440 breaking
00:42:53.920 journalism
00:42:54.560 incredible
00:42:55.680 work
00:42:56.200 that we
00:42:56.660 can expect
00:42:57.080 from the
00:42:57.360 New York
00:42:57.620 Times
00:42:57.960 are you
00:42:59.040 kidding me
00:43:00.360 oh my
00:43:02.240 gosh
00:43:02.860 first of all
00:43:04.000 it's obvious
00:43:04.520 satire
00:43:05.040 second of all
00:43:05.980 by a
00:43:06.840 well known
00:43:07.260 satirist
00:43:07.780 then it
00:43:09.120 has a little
00:43:09.720 winky emoji
00:43:10.440 on it
00:43:11.520 alerting you
00:43:12.940 that this is
00:43:13.800 obviously satire
00:43:14.640 for a clip
00:43:16.180 that everybody
00:43:16.600 has seen
00:43:17.140 and the left
00:43:17.860 they said
00:43:18.360 wait a second
00:43:19.120 this isn't real
00:43:20.380 because they
00:43:20.840 don't understand
00:43:22.160 they don't
00:43:22.600 understand their
00:43:23.080 opposition
00:43:23.380 they don't
00:43:23.820 understand the
00:43:24.280 world
00:43:24.460 so they
00:43:25.180 think
00:43:25.540 that
00:43:26.540 first of all
00:43:27.980 if a conservative
00:43:28.500 does something
00:43:29.060 it can never
00:43:29.480 be satire
00:43:30.040 because conservatives
00:43:30.660 don't do comedy
00:43:31.400 they don't
00:43:32.040 no they can't
00:43:32.720 be funny
00:43:33.080 they don't
00:43:33.540 joke around
00:43:34.000 no they're
00:43:35.020 like mean
00:43:35.860 alt-right
00:43:37.000 racist
00:43:37.680 David Dukes
00:43:38.980 they can't
00:43:39.560 do that
00:43:39.980 right
00:43:40.180 that's what
00:43:40.540 they think
00:43:41.620 and so
00:43:42.720 he's alerting
00:43:43.520 people
00:43:43.860 he said
00:43:44.080 this is fake
00:43:44.860 and then all
00:43:45.460 the lefties
00:43:45.860 if you look
00:43:46.200 in the little
00:43:46.540 twitter thread
00:43:47.040 they say
00:43:47.240 I tried
00:43:47.580 to report
00:43:48.020 it
00:43:48.180 yeah I tried
00:43:48.820 to report
00:43:49.200 it too
00:43:49.500 what
00:43:49.740 you say
00:43:50.420 fellas
00:43:50.720 fellas
00:43:51.020 it's something
00:43:52.060 called
00:43:53.140 humor
00:43:53.940 it's called
00:43:55.000 comedy
00:43:55.480 life isn't
00:43:56.400 so bad
00:43:56.920 it's okay
00:43:57.980 sometimes
00:43:59.020 it's okay
00:43:59.520 you can laugh
00:44:00.080 a little
00:44:00.320 it's alright
00:44:00.740 you're not
00:44:01.120 gonna
00:44:01.300 it won't
00:44:02.240 prevent you
00:44:02.760 from being
00:44:03.100 an ally
00:44:03.600 to laugh
00:44:04.380 a little
00:44:04.640 it's okay
00:44:05.280 you can
00:44:05.720 still be a good
00:44:07.240 person and laugh
00:44:07.960 every so often
00:44:08.620 really
00:44:10.020 bizarre
00:44:10.700 I mean
00:44:11.220 this guy
00:44:11.500 this guy's
00:44:11.580 a New York
00:44:11.920 Times
00:44:12.260 writer
00:44:13.400 who knows
00:44:14.320 I mean
00:44:14.640 who knows
00:44:15.100 where this
00:44:15.560 goes for the
00:44:16.160 left
00:44:16.320 I can't
00:44:16.720 imagine
00:44:17.160 they'll go
00:44:17.940 this way
00:44:18.420 forever
00:44:19.140 it's so
00:44:19.620 unfunny
00:44:21.000 but we'll
00:44:21.980 have to see
00:44:22.340 how it goes
00:44:22.640 and in the
00:44:22.880 meantime
00:44:23.060 we're gonna
00:44:23.400 laugh
00:44:23.700 and this
00:44:24.420 brings me
00:44:24.760 to my
00:44:24.960 final point
00:44:25.520 today
00:44:25.700 in the
00:44:25.880 last couple
00:44:26.220 minutes
00:44:26.540 speaking of
00:44:27.740 conservatives
00:44:28.260 laughing at
00:44:28.840 lefties
00:44:29.200 I love
00:44:31.100 Nikki Haley
00:44:31.960 I love
00:44:32.740 Ambassador Haley
00:44:33.500 I might have
00:44:34.960 to disagree
00:44:35.400 with her
00:44:35.700 slightly here
00:44:36.280 though
00:44:36.500 she said
00:44:37.420 to the
00:44:38.100 TPUSA
00:44:38.980 conference
00:44:39.380 she said
00:44:39.980 raise your
00:44:41.600 hand
00:44:41.920 if you've
00:44:42.740 ever posted
00:44:43.300 anything
00:44:43.720 online
00:44:44.220 to
00:44:44.880 own the
00:44:45.940 libs
00:44:46.220 I know
00:44:47.820 that it's
00:44:48.200 fun
00:44:48.500 and it can
00:44:48.920 feel good
00:44:49.420 but step
00:44:50.460 back
00:44:50.780 and think
00:44:51.320 about what
00:44:51.700 you're
00:44:51.860 accomplishing
00:44:52.400 when you
00:44:52.700 do this
00:44:53.140 are you
00:44:54.360 persuading
00:44:54.760 anyone
00:44:55.080 who are
00:44:55.460 you
00:44:55.600 persuading
00:44:56.020 we've
00:44:56.520 all been
00:44:56.780 guilty
00:44:57.060 of it
00:44:57.280 at some
00:44:57.540 point
00:44:57.760 or another
00:44:58.060 but this
00:44:58.400 kind
00:44:58.600 of speech
00:44:58.940 isn't
00:44:59.340 leadership
00:44:59.720 it's
00:45:00.740 the exact
00:45:01.120 opposite
00:45:01.540 now
00:45:02.660 this
00:45:03.060 flies
00:45:03.660 directly
00:45:04.160 in
00:45:04.600 contrast
00:45:05.140 to an
00:45:05.560 important
00:45:05.860 quote
00:45:06.120 from
00:45:06.300 Edmund
00:45:06.600 Burke
00:45:06.840 that I've
00:45:07.140 read
00:45:07.260 for a
00:45:07.480 long
00:45:07.640 time
00:45:07.860 conservatism
00:45:09.000 is when
00:45:09.360 something
00:45:09.700 triggers
00:45:10.120 the libs
00:45:10.580 and the
00:45:11.220 more
00:45:11.400 the libs
00:45:11.840 are
00:45:11.980 triggered
00:45:12.280 the more
00:45:12.680 conservatism
00:45:13.800 it is
00:45:14.280 that's
00:45:15.400 an incredible
00:45:16.240 quote
00:45:16.560 by the
00:45:17.080 Irish
00:45:17.380 statesman
00:45:17.940 Edmund
00:45:18.260 Burke
00:45:18.580 is that
00:45:19.740 from
00:45:19.920 reflections
00:45:20.320 on the
00:45:20.600 revolution
00:45:20.920 in France
00:45:21.340 I think
00:45:21.880 it might
00:45:22.120 be
00:45:22.300 I
00:45:23.480 look
00:45:25.140 of course
00:45:25.660 if
00:45:26.060 what
00:45:27.260 Nikki Haley
00:45:27.940 is getting
00:45:28.340 at
00:45:28.580 is that
00:45:30.020 just
00:45:31.260 poking
00:45:31.740 fun
00:45:32.120 at
00:45:32.280 people
00:45:32.620 just
00:45:33.020 to
00:45:33.160 be
00:45:33.300 mean
00:45:33.940 or
00:45:34.260 nasty
00:45:34.820 or
00:45:35.200 to
00:45:35.500 really
00:45:36.320 make
00:45:37.460 them
00:45:37.620 sad
00:45:37.960 or
00:45:38.100 something
00:45:38.420 just
00:45:39.020 doing
00:45:39.300 that
00:45:39.620 might
00:45:40.360 be
00:45:40.580 pointless
00:45:41.020 that
00:45:41.420 might
00:45:41.600 be
00:45:41.800 stupid
00:45:42.200 or
00:45:42.480 ill
00:45:42.900 advised
00:45:43.260 but
00:45:44.140 owning
00:45:44.480 the
00:45:44.660 libs
00:45:44.880 is
00:45:45.160 great
00:45:45.600 owning
00:45:45.980 the
00:45:46.180 libs
00:45:46.400 is
00:45:46.620 one
00:45:46.780 of
00:45:46.880 the
00:45:46.960 most
00:45:47.140 fun
00:45:47.480 things
00:45:47.720 in
00:45:47.820 the
00:45:47.920 world
00:45:48.120 and
00:45:48.640 owning
00:45:48.980 the
00:45:49.160 libs
00:45:49.420 is
00:45:49.640 an
00:45:49.760 important
00:45:50.220 strategy
00:45:50.800 it
00:45:51.140 is
00:45:51.460 leadership
00:45:51.960 because
00:45:52.560 there
00:45:52.740 are
00:45:52.840 two
00:45:53.000 ways
00:45:53.300 here
00:45:53.520 well
00:45:54.080 I
00:45:54.200 suppose
00:45:54.440 there
00:45:54.580 are
00:45:54.660 three
00:45:54.820 ways
00:45:55.040 to
00:45:56.640 win
00:45:57.380 back
00:45:57.580 the
00:45:57.700 culture
00:45:57.940 and
00:45:58.080 win
00:45:58.200 back
00:45:58.360 the
00:45:58.480 politics
00:45:58.860 the
00:45:59.260 one
00:45:59.560 is
00:45:59.840 you
00:46:00.360 can
00:46:00.560 be
00:46:00.760 really
00:46:01.060 angry
00:46:01.560 and
00:46:01.800 mean
00:46:02.060 and
00:46:02.260 serious
00:46:02.720 and
00:46:02.980 doer
00:46:03.320 and
00:46:03.480 debate
00:46:03.880 all
00:46:04.060 the
00:46:04.180 time
00:46:04.420 and say
00:46:04.660 no
00:46:04.840 this
00:46:05.100 and be
00:46:05.320 really
00:46:05.600 straight
00:46:07.600 faced
00:46:07.920 just like
00:46:08.320 the
00:46:08.460 lefties
00:46:08.760 are
00:46:08.900 the
00:46:09.060 humorless
00:46:09.480 lefties
00:46:09.840 that's
00:46:10.300 one
00:46:10.440 way
00:46:10.580 to
00:46:10.680 do
00:46:10.800 it
00:46:11.560 the
00:46:12.040 other
00:46:12.200 way
00:46:12.360 to
00:46:12.480 do
00:46:12.620 it
00:46:12.780 is
00:46:13.260 to
00:46:13.420 be
00:46:13.560 funny
00:46:13.960 to
00:46:14.540 laugh
00:46:14.880 a
00:46:15.020 little
00:46:15.120 to
00:46:15.320 poke
00:46:15.540 fun
00:46:15.960 don't
00:46:16.580 constantly
00:46:17.020 be
00:46:17.240 earnest
00:46:17.580 about
00:46:17.820 everything
00:46:18.020 just
00:46:18.220 poke
00:46:18.500 a little
00:46:18.720 fun
00:46:19.000 at
00:46:19.120 these
00:46:19.280 things
00:46:19.580 and
00:46:20.140 you'll
00:46:20.420 deflate
00:46:20.980 these
00:46:21.240 lefty
00:46:21.660 balloons
00:46:22.060 if you
00:46:22.760 just
00:46:22.900 make
00:46:23.160 fun
00:46:23.660 of it
00:46:23.880 a little
00:46:24.080 bit
00:46:24.220 if you
00:46:24.420 tell
00:46:25.120 the
00:46:25.400 emperor
00:46:25.700 that he's
00:46:25.980 not wearing
00:46:26.300 any clothes
00:46:26.840 you can
00:46:27.340 laugh
00:46:27.620 you can
00:46:27.820 have a
00:46:28.020 good
00:46:28.120 time
00:46:28.300 and
00:46:28.400 that
00:46:28.520 humor
00:46:28.740 will
00:46:29.040 show
00:46:29.300 people
00:46:29.600 the
00:46:29.780 error
00:46:30.040 of
00:46:30.180 their
00:46:30.300 ways
00:46:30.640 those
00:46:31.360 are
00:46:31.540 two
00:46:31.860 ways
00:46:32.260 for
00:46:32.940 conservatives
00:46:33.540 to
00:46:34.040 beat
00:46:34.320 the
00:46:34.460 left
00:46:34.640 in
00:46:34.780 politics
00:46:35.180 and
00:46:35.640 the
00:46:35.780 third
00:46:35.960 way
00:46:36.100 is
00:46:36.200 to
00:46:36.300 outbreed
00:46:36.720 them
00:46:37.040 as
00:46:37.460 Governor
00:46:37.720 Mitch
00:46:37.920 Daniels
00:46:38.320 told me
00:46:38.580 one
00:46:38.760 time
00:46:38.940 he said
00:46:39.220 you can
00:46:39.420 either
00:46:39.580 persuade
00:46:39.960 or you
00:46:40.260 can
00:46:40.380 outbreed
00:46:40.880 and the
00:46:41.100 latter
00:46:41.300 is
00:46:41.440 a lot
00:46:41.620 more
00:46:41.780 fun
00:46:42.020 so
00:46:42.460 those
00:46:42.660 are
00:46:42.760 the
00:46:42.920 three
00:46:43.240 ways
00:46:43.700 that
00:46:44.160 you
00:46:44.280 can
00:46:44.580 own
00:46:45.380 the
00:46:45.520 culture
00:46:45.800 owning
00:46:46.480 the
00:46:46.700 libs
00:46:46.940 is a
00:46:47.280 great
00:46:47.540 thing
00:46:47.860 it's
00:46:48.080 not
00:46:48.380 necessarily
00:46:49.460 sophomoric
00:46:50.020 it's
00:46:50.200 not
00:46:50.340 necessarily
00:46:50.760 childish
00:46:51.240 it
00:46:51.520 is
00:46:51.620 a
00:46:51.780 really
00:46:52.040 fun
00:46:52.640 thing
00:46:52.840 to
00:46:52.960 do
00:46:53.160 and
00:46:53.680 excuse
00:46:53.860 me
00:46:54.000 one
00:46:54.140 second
00:46:54.260 I
00:46:54.360 just
00:46:54.480 have
00:46:54.580 to
00:46:54.660 take
00:46:54.760 a sip
00:46:54.980 of
00:46:55.080 my
00:46:55.280 that's
00:46:58.660 good
00:46:58.860 I like
00:46:59.620 that
00:46:59.760 tumbler
00:47:00.040 it's
00:47:01.260 an
00:47:01.600 important
00:47:01.860 thing
00:47:02.240 because
00:47:02.940 getting
00:47:04.440 to
00:47:04.860 what
00:47:05.080 we've
00:47:05.340 been
00:47:05.440 talking
00:47:05.660 about
00:47:05.840 all
00:47:06.060 day
00:47:06.360 the
00:47:07.420 moment
00:47:07.820 that
00:47:08.080 conservatives
00:47:08.660 stop
00:47:09.120 having
00:47:09.400 fun
00:47:09.740 is
00:47:09.880 the
00:47:10.000 moment
00:47:10.180 we
00:47:10.340 lose
00:47:10.680 one
00:47:10.900 of
00:47:10.980 the
00:47:11.060 great
00:47:11.280 aspects
00:47:11.760 of
00:47:11.940 this
00:47:12.140 time
00:47:12.820 that
00:47:12.980 we're
00:47:13.140 in
00:47:13.300 this
00:47:13.500 Trump
00:47:14.140 era
00:47:14.560 is
00:47:15.820 that
00:47:16.040 conservatives
00:47:16.460 are
00:47:16.740 exuberant
00:47:17.260 they're
00:47:17.440 having
00:47:17.680 a good
00:47:18.060 time
00:47:18.460 they're
00:47:18.660 having
00:47:18.880 fun
00:47:19.280 finally
00:47:19.680 and
00:47:19.920 we
00:47:20.140 seem
00:47:24.140 the
00:47:24.380 Sandra
00:47:24.680 fluke
00:47:25.040 people
00:47:25.340 with
00:47:25.540 their
00:47:25.680 arms
00:47:25.920 crossed
00:47:26.300 frowning
00:47:26.780 and saying
00:47:26.980 that's
00:47:27.200 not
00:47:27.360 funny
00:47:27.620 or
00:47:27.980 do
00:47:28.080 you
00:47:28.140 want
00:47:28.260 to
00:47:28.340 join
00:47:28.480 the

00:47:51.880 and they
00:47:52.100 were
00:47:52.200 ten
00:47:52.460 paragraphs
00:47:52.860 long
00:47:53.400 and they
00:47:53.980 were
00:47:54.160 referring
00:47:54.560 to
00:47:54.740 all
00:47:54.940 of
00:47:55.060 these
00:47:55.220 great
00:47:55.600 works
00:47:55.980 of
00:47:56.160 literature
00:47:56.540 and
00:47:56.800 philosophy
00:47:57.260 and they're
00:47:57.820 just
00:47:57.980 having
00:47:58.260 a good
00:47:58.680 time
00:47:59.000 they're
00:47:59.140 just
00:47:59.260 having
00:47:59.420 fun
00:47:59.760 it
00:48:00.100 was
00:48:00.260 witty
00:48:00.640 the
00:48:01.440 comments
00:48:02.040 I mean
00:48:02.360 the book
00:48:02.720 itself
00:48:03.000 is
00:48:03.120 kind
00:48:03.260 of
00:48:03.300 an
00:48:03.380 old
00:48:03.520 joke
00:48:03.800 frankly
00:48:04.320 but
00:48:04.920 the
00:48:05.200 people
00:48:05.560 responding
00:48:06.120 to
00:48:06.380 it
00:48:06.500 the
00:48:06.620 conservatives
00:48:07.100 were
00:48:07.780 having
00:48:08.140 a
00:48:08.280 really
00:48:08.440 good
00:48:08.620 time
00:48:08.960 and
00:48:09.200 having
00:48:09.460 fun
00:48:09.760 and
00:48:09.880 being
00:48:10.020 a
00:48:10.140 little
00:48:10.260 light
00:48:10.640 you know
00:48:10.880 the
00:48:11.000 angels
00:48:11.300 can
00:48:11.540 fly
00:48:11.760 because
00:48:12.000 they
00:48:12.140 don't
00:48:12.660 take
00:48:12.920 themselves
00:48:13.300 so
00:48:13.540 heavily
00:48:13.860 they
00:48:14.080 take
00:48:14.260 themselves
00:48:14.580 lightly
00:48:15.060 and
00:48:15.920 we
00:48:16.260 should
00:48:16.440 do
00:48:16.560 that
00:48:16.740 too
00:48:16.980 the
00:48:17.780 moment
00:48:18.100 that
00:48:18.260 we
00:48:18.380 frown
00:48:18.820 the
00:48:19.000 moment
00:48:19.280 that
00:48:19.460 we
00:48:19.660 take
00:48:20.140 everything
00:48:20.560 very
00:48:20.920 seriously
00:48:21.400 we
00:48:21.660 become
00:48:22.080 them
00:48:22.440 if
00:48:22.900 we
00:48:23.220 learn
00:48:23.480 nothing
00:48:23.960 from
00:48:24.380 this
00:48:24.660 Trump
00:48:25.200 era
00:48:25.540 it's
00:48:26.400 that
00:48:26.860 it's
00:48:27.000 okay
00:48:27.160 to
00:48:27.320 laugh
00:48:27.620 it's
00:48:27.800 okay
00:48:28.000 to
00:48:28.140 take
00:48:28.320 things
00:48:28.540 lightly
00:48:28.860 it's
00:48:29.540 a
00:48:29.700 freer
00:48:30.140 society
00:48:30.640 when
00:48:30.900 you
00:48:31.040 can
00:48:31.220 oh
00:48:31.420 I
00:48:31.540 shouldn't
00:48:31.740 have
00:48:31.840 said
00:48:31.980 that
00:48:32.220 oh
00:48:32.760 I
00:48:32.960 meant
00:48:33.120 to
00:48:33.240 say
00:48:33.400 this
00:48:33.660 yeah
00:48:34.080 well
00:48:34.440 you'll
00:48:34.680 get
00:48:34.800 over
00:48:35.000 it
00:48:35.140 when
00:48:35.420 you're
00:48:35.580 a
00:48:35.700 little
00:48:35.820 lighter
00:48:36.200 like
00:48:36.480 that
00:48:36.660 the
00:48:37.120 world
00:48:37.580 is
00:48:37.760 freer
00:48:38.160 life
00:48:38.500 is
00:48:38.660 a
00:48:38.760 little
00:48:38.840 more
00:48:39.060 pleasant
00:48:39.420 and
00:48:40.000 the
00:48:40.120 lefties
00:48:40.400 could
00:48:40.540 learn
00:48:40.720 a lot
00:48:40.940 from
00:48:41.140 it
00:48:41.240 maybe
00:48:41.400 they'd
00:48:41.580 have
00:48:41.680 a
00:48:41.780 better
00:48:41.940 time
00:48:42.280 if
00:48:42.480 they
00:48:42.640 took
00:48:42.880 our
00:48:43.020 example
00:48:43.360 and
00:48:43.540 hopefully
00:48:43.780 they
00:48:43.940 will
00:48:44.080 take
00:48:44.280 our
