The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 251 - Make Plush Toys Great Again

00:00:00.000 Democrats may have won the House, but Trumpy Bear is winning holiday shopping season.

00:00:05.340 End my heart.

00:00:06.380 We examine the historical brilliance of the latest political stocking stuffer

00:00:10.520 that is making plush toys great again.

00:00:13.620 Then, a potential cabinet shakeup at the White House,

00:00:16.340 a pro-Taliban Democrat belatedly wins a Senate seat in Arizona, 0.64

00:00:20.480 and the majority of Democrats think Republicans are racist, sexist, and bigoted.

00:00:25.040 Finally, Michelle Obama, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Mark Zuckerberg show us the difference

00:00:29.720 between real and imagined oppression.

00:00:32.340 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:41.400 Oh, so much to get to today.

00:00:43.440 You know, as the inventor of last year's political stocking stuffer,

00:00:47.080 the blank book, Reasons to Vote for Democrats,

00:00:48.820 I'm going to take all the money that I made on that

00:00:51.160 and spend every single penny of it on Trumpy Bears,

00:00:54.420 the greatest product, the greatest product in at least 12 months.

00:00:58.740 Before we do that, we've got to talk about one more excellent product.

00:01:02.720 That is Bowlin Branch Sheets.

00:01:04.400 These all actually have presidential tie-ins.

00:01:06.740 Bowlin Branch is absolutely phenomenal.

00:01:09.280 I love them.

00:01:10.520 They have helped to save my marriage.

00:01:12.120 You know, especially if you fit them on that nice new mattress.

00:01:14.320 Ooh, ooh, ooh.

00:01:15.400 It's wonderful.

00:01:16.240 I didn't realize this when I was a bachelor,

00:01:17.900 and I would spend about $5 on a set of sheets,

00:01:20.320 but it turns out that they actually have nice sheets that you can buy.

00:01:23.740 And when you want to buy premium sheets,

00:01:25.320 if you go to a store, they'll cost $1,000 sometimes or more.

00:01:29.120 Bowlin Branch, though, by cutting out the middleman,

00:01:31.300 can get you a really, really good deal on them,

00:01:33.500 made from pure 100% organic cotton.

00:01:36.260 They start out super soft, and they get even softer over time.

00:01:39.900 You buy directly from them,

00:01:41.600 so you're essentially paying wholesale prices.

00:01:43.960 Luxury sheets can cost up to $1,000,

00:01:45.900 but you won't do that on Bowlin Branch.

00:01:47.800 That is why they have thousands of five-star reviews.

00:01:50.140 Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company are all talking about them.

00:01:52.580 Three U.S. presidents sleep on Bowlin Branch sheets.

00:01:56.300 Maybe Trumpy Bear does, too.

00:01:57.680 I don't know.

00:01:58.520 Statistically, they must have a few Trumpy Bears on there.

00:02:00.920 Shipping is free.

00:02:01.680 You can try them for 30 nights.

00:02:03.640 If you don't love them, send them back for a refund,

00:02:05.700 but I doubt you'll want to send them back.

00:02:07.440 There's no risk and no reason not to give them a try.

00:02:27.960 Okay, now from that product to Trumpy Bear,

00:02:30.040 the product that is sweeping the nation.

00:02:31.420 If you haven't seen the commercial, I pity you.

00:02:34.180 Check it out.

00:02:34.600 I am the Storm, the great American Grizzly.

00:02:40.400 Introducing the original Trumpy Bear,

00:02:43.620 the fearless, super plush American Grizzly.

00:02:47.640 Trumpy Bear was born June 14th, Flag Day.

00:02:51.120 Just find the secret zipper and pull out the flag blanket.

00:02:54.700 Then wrap yourself in the red, white, and blue

00:02:56.980 for comfort and warmth.

00:02:58.580 Show your patriotism and proudly display Trumpy on Flag Day

00:03:02.020 and on any American holiday.

00:03:04.400 Trumpy can even honor your own family heroes.

00:03:07.280 God bless America and God bless Trumpy Bear.

00:03:11.400 God bless Trumpy Bear.

00:03:13.040 Absolutely right.

00:03:14.080 Some people have wondered if this is real or not.

00:03:16.460 When I first saw the ad, I was convinced it was a joke.

00:03:18.840 It was just satire.

00:03:20.220 Oh no, 100% real.

00:03:22.100 It's produced by a company called Exceptional Products

00:03:25.300 because what other company would produce this?

00:03:28.400 It was invented by a guy named V.L. Lang.

00:03:31.980 Here's what he said when a lot of media reached out to him.

00:03:35.240 They said this can't possibly be real.

00:03:36.960 It is.

00:03:37.320 He said, quote,

00:03:38.140 This iconic bear should be viewed as the symbol

00:03:41.500 that anyone can run for president of this great country of ours.

00:03:45.340 The weight of the responsibilities that come with the presidency

00:03:47.600 can be a burden that I, for one, could never endure.

00:03:50.800 So one thing I like about this,

00:03:52.320 I don't know if this guy is saying this intentionally or not,

00:03:54.820 but the joke is he's made this bear about how great Trump is

00:03:58.400 and yet what he's saying it symbolizes

00:04:00.320 is that anybody, even Donald Trump, can run for president.

00:04:04.140 It is, in his statement about it,

00:04:06.100 it's actually sort of an insult to President Trump.

00:04:08.860 But there is something to that.

00:04:10.880 Not that he's unqualified to be president,

00:04:13.060 but that he's not the sort of presidential candidate

00:04:14.980 that we are used to getting.

00:04:16.820 And Trumpy Bear is not new.

00:04:18.000 It didn't just come out this week.

00:04:19.620 I think they aired some commercials on Fox News,

00:04:21.700 which is when everybody saw it,

00:04:22.760 but it has been out since last October.

00:04:26.200 And so people are enjoying the camp of it.

00:04:28.600 It's such a, obviously, shticky kind of kitschy toy.

00:04:32.220 Okay, that's great.

00:04:33.060 It actually makes a lot of historical sense, though,

00:04:35.640 because it's the Donald Trump teddy bear.

00:04:38.680 But the teddy bear is named after another Republican president.

00:04:42.240 It's named after Teddy Roosevelt.

00:04:44.500 The teddy bear got its name after Teddy Roosevelt.

00:04:47.600 You know, Teddy Roosevelt, fairly manly guy,

00:04:49.760 a lot of machismo.

00:04:50.640 He would go out hunting.

00:04:52.380 And in 1902, he was on a hunt with his buddies,

00:04:55.520 and he didn't get a bear.

00:04:58.340 They were out hunting black bears, I believe.

00:05:00.580 And he just, they found a bear,

00:05:02.500 but Teddy wasn't around to grab it.

00:05:04.220 So these guys went and they beat up the bear.

00:05:06.400 They clubbed it.

00:05:07.040 They tied it to a tree.

00:05:08.340 And then they said, okay, Mr. Roosevelt, 0.99

00:05:10.800 you can go out and shoot the bear now.

00:05:13.840 But he said, oh, that's not very sportsmanlike

00:05:15.800 if I just have a bear tied up to a tree 0.99

00:05:18.780 and then I shoot it in the head. 0.99

00:05:20.100 He did say, however, that because the bear was injured, 1.00

00:05:23.020 they should put it out of its misery,

00:05:24.280 but that he wasn't going to do it.

00:05:25.900 And so it created this scene that then was drawn out

00:05:29.620 in a lot of political cartoons in newspapers around the country,

00:05:32.980 which I think the first one was by Clifford Berryman

00:05:35.620 in the Washington Post.

00:05:37.360 And it's this cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt walking away,

00:05:40.300 you know, saying, I'm not going to shoot this bear.

00:05:42.780 And I suppose it depends on how you look at the cartoon.

00:05:45.020 Either it's he's saying, I'm not going to do it.

00:05:47.200 You do my dirty work for me.

00:05:48.540 Or he's having some mercy on this old bear,

00:05:50.900 which is actually what he was doing.

00:05:52.920 And so there were multiple versions of this cartoon produced.

00:05:55.960 And over time, the bear got cuter and cuter

00:05:58.020 and cuddlier and cuddlier.

00:05:59.260 And then this businessman came out

00:06:01.760 and he said he'd already made a couple toy bears

00:06:05.400 and he'd called them Teddy's Bears.

00:06:07.720 And he put them on for sale in his store.

00:06:09.420 They became extremely popular.

00:06:10.640 The White House actually gave him permission

00:06:12.560 to use the name Teddy's Bears.

00:06:15.900 And so he sells the teddy bears.

00:06:18.360 He then creates a toy company out of it.

00:06:20.280 It becomes hugely popular.

00:06:21.660 It's still popular today.

00:06:22.780 A few things I really like about this.

00:06:24.140 One, it shows Republican compassion.

00:06:27.060 Two, it's about another Republican president.

00:06:29.100 And three, it involves colluding with the Russians, 0.84

00:06:31.540 which is a little historical tidbit

00:06:33.180 that I think people are not appreciating out of this.

00:06:35.740 So a lot of people on the left and the right

00:06:37.900 are not understanding the marketing of Trumpy Bear. 0.93

00:06:41.340 What they're seeing is ridiculous thing.

00:06:45.040 You know, Ben yesterday tweeted out,

00:06:47.680 it was two circles perfectly lined up over one another.

00:06:52.240 And it said it was a Venn diagram

00:06:53.540 of people who bought Michael Knowles' book

00:06:55.540 and people who are going to buy Trumpy Bear.

00:06:57.940 It's just a perfect circle, you know,

00:07:00.080 which led me to decide that I'm going to create

00:07:02.300 a plush Ben Shapiro bear called Grumpy Bear.

00:07:05.100 But that's neither here nor there.

00:07:06.180 So, you know, I think what Ben is seeing, obviously,

00:07:10.040 is that there's this sort of exuberance,

00:07:12.240 this sort of giddiness about it.

00:07:14.380 Absolutely right.

00:07:15.140 It's sort of like the Make America Great Again hat.

00:07:17.820 The Make America Great Again hat,

00:07:19.080 it's not that it's this sleek, stylish hat.

00:07:21.400 It's actually sort of the opposite of stylish.

00:07:23.940 It's a hat that looks like it was made

00:07:25.760 in the early 1990s.

00:07:27.400 Big block letters, nothing subtle about it.

00:07:30.640 Kind of a golf course hat.

00:07:32.740 You know, doesn't, not any kind of special design.

00:07:35.620 But it's, there's just something about it

00:07:37.820 that is so bold, that's so, in a sense, manly,

00:07:41.100 that you've got to buy it.

00:07:42.620 Even back when I didn't like Donald Trump, the candidate,

00:07:44.720 when I was going to vote for Ted Cruz,

00:07:46.800 I still bought the hat.

00:07:48.320 I love the hat.

00:07:48.940 It's the same thing.

00:07:49.540 I'm obviously going to get a Trumpy Bear.

00:07:52.140 Because Trump, in many ways, is like Teddy Roosevelt,

00:07:54.840 this boisterous, larger-than-life figure.

00:07:58.300 Teddy Roosevelt was a war hero.

00:07:59.980 He was maybe a little more extreme than Trump

00:08:01.800 in that Roosevelt just started random wars

00:08:04.060 and was always agitating for wars

00:08:05.680 to make the country manlier.

00:08:07.420 But still, giant personalities,

00:08:09.420 people who constantly were talking about

00:08:11.580 the strenuous life and going out there

00:08:14.740 and making a lot of money and working hard.

00:08:18.320 Okay.

00:08:18.900 So we got all of that.

00:08:20.560 And the other, that final aspect is,

00:08:24.360 with Trump and Roosevelt, you get this,

00:08:26.520 carry a big stick.

00:08:28.060 Always have the credible threat of force

00:08:30.600 and always be negotiating from a position of strength.

00:08:33.540 But be merciful, too.

00:08:36.080 That's the other important point here.

00:08:37.920 You know, Teddy's got that black bear

00:08:40.180 up against a tree all tied up. 0.59

00:08:42.000 He could kill him, and he says, 0.99

00:08:42.980 no, I'm not going to shoot him. 0.99

00:08:44.320 I don't want it.

00:08:44.900 That's not sportsmanlike.

00:08:46.620 Donald Trump has China up against a wall on trade.

00:08:49.920 He says, no, we're not going to have a trade war.

00:08:51.460 I want to get to no tariffs.

00:08:52.880 There is something to be said

00:08:54.840 for negotiating from a position of strength.

00:08:57.300 Ronald Reagan said it.

00:08:58.580 He said, you get peace through strength.

00:09:01.060 And we know that President Trump

00:09:03.440 has taken lines from Reagan before.

00:09:05.300 Make America Great Again is a Reagan line.

00:09:06.940 He learns from these great figures

00:09:08.580 of Republican history.

00:09:09.960 And I hope that this is another example of that.

00:09:12.000 And I can't wait for all of my stockings

00:09:14.920 to be stuffed with Trumpy bears this coming Christmas.

00:09:17.920 Speaking of the Trump administration,

00:09:19.540 the real Trump administration,

00:09:20.700 not the bear Trump administration,

00:09:22.720 we may be heading for a shakeup at the White House.

00:09:26.040 Now, I always temper these

00:09:29.020 because the mainstream media get this wrong constantly.

00:09:32.280 But according to reports from multiple sources,

00:09:35.240 I think stemming from the Washington Post,

00:09:37.220 the Department of Homeland Security Secretary,

00:09:39.200 Kirstjen Nielsen, may be on her way out.

00:09:42.600 We've heard this before.

00:09:44.000 But there has been a huge rise

00:09:46.240 in illegal immigration over the past year.

00:09:49.220 That said, there's been a huge increase

00:09:50.880 in arrests as well.

00:09:52.580 But it seems that the president may not be pleased

00:09:54.980 with her performance.

00:09:56.600 She is the third Department of Homeland Security

00:09:59.120 secretary in just two years.

00:10:01.640 If she is kicked out before her first year is even up,

00:10:05.400 then there will be four in two years.

00:10:07.940 That is a lot.

00:10:08.720 It probably shows, one, the mismanagement

00:10:11.900 of the Department of Homeland Security.

00:10:13.500 It's kind of a hodgepodge agency

00:10:15.120 that was created after September 11th.

00:10:17.440 And it includes facets of a couple of other agencies.

00:10:20.740 And it's never really seemed to gain a sure footing.

00:10:23.980 And the other aspect is how difficult it is

00:10:26.000 to enforce our immigration law.

00:10:27.760 Because that's what President Trump is upset about.

00:10:30.240 That was the campaign promise.

00:10:31.560 And the question is, why are so many people

00:10:34.040 still coming into the country?

00:10:35.260 Why are we seeing record high illegal immigration

00:10:38.000 into the country?

00:10:39.000 The highest month on record was last month.

00:10:41.800 Why can't we build the wall?

00:10:43.660 What is taking so long?

00:10:45.260 So he seems to be getting tired of her.

00:10:47.060 The other aspect of her getting kicked out,

00:10:49.180 that for people watching the tea leaves

00:10:51.120 is a little worrisome,

00:10:52.520 is that she's a John Kelly girl.

00:10:55.260 So Kirsten Nielsen was the previous White House

00:10:58.620 principal deputy chief of staff under John Kelly.

00:11:02.060 So she was working right under John Kelly.

00:11:04.040 Reports are saying that John Kelly

00:11:06.020 is fighting for her to remain at DHS.

00:11:09.140 And yet there are other reports coming in,

00:11:10.860 which we've heard now for months and months and months,

00:11:13.000 that John Kelly is on his way out,

00:11:14.520 that he's going to be kicked out.

00:11:15.420 And this is not just what we're hearing

00:11:18.060 from CNN and the Washington Post.

00:11:19.920 I've heard this from sources in the White House,

00:11:22.240 outside the White House.

00:11:23.460 Who knows what they're trying to do?

00:11:24.760 Are they trying to sow discord?

00:11:25.820 Are they trying to spread misinformation?

00:11:27.600 Are they sending out leaks specifically

00:11:29.960 at the behest of the people who can make the decisions?

00:11:32.640 What's going on?

00:11:33.320 I'm not sure.

00:11:33.880 But I actually will defend the media on this one.

00:11:36.660 I've been hearing the same things too.

00:11:38.880 And yet here we are, how much later,

00:11:42.060 and John Kelly still is in the job.

00:11:43.600 And it seems that John Kelly has done a pretty good job

00:11:46.460 as chief of staff.

00:11:47.340 He brought order to that administration.

00:11:49.240 Let's not forget how chaotic it was

00:11:50.880 before he came in there.

00:11:52.800 He brought order to it.

00:11:54.920 And so I hope he's not gone.

00:11:58.140 If he's gone, c'est la vie.

00:11:59.820 But let's hope that this Kirstjen Nielsen move

00:12:03.960 is not indicative of that,

00:12:05.500 because it's perfectly normal.

00:12:06.840 Listen, after midterm elections,

00:12:08.500 it's perfectly normal for there to be an exit

00:12:10.800 at the White House.

00:12:11.560 Also, when President Trump has replaced people,

00:12:14.780 I think virtually all of them he's replaced

00:12:16.940 with people who are better at the job

00:12:18.760 than the previous people.

00:12:20.060 That's not to denigrate Sean Spicer or anything.

00:12:22.480 He was very good at his job.

00:12:24.480 But Sarah Sanders is excellent at that job as well. 1.00

00:12:26.960 So John Bolton obviously was a huge upgrade

00:12:29.300 in National Security Advisor.

00:12:30.940 So I'm not despairing.

00:12:33.300 But that said, I think John Kelly's done a great job.

00:12:36.820 And so I hope that they don't boot him out of there.

00:12:40.280 The rumor, by the way, has been that Trump

00:12:42.360 is looking to replace John Kelly with Nick Ayers.

00:12:46.280 He is the chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence.

00:12:49.260 Again, this is all court intrigue.

00:12:52.000 This is all gossip.

00:12:53.500 And having heard it from people at 1600 Pennsylvania

00:12:56.700 and from people in the media as well,

00:12:58.680 I just don't really believe it.

00:13:00.460 I don't think there's a ton of credibility

00:13:01.940 to these anymore.

00:13:02.920 But we'll see what happens.

00:13:04.280 There has been a lot of talk about Nielsen leaving now.

00:13:07.040 And if it's going to happen,

00:13:08.060 it's going to happen right now after the midterm elections.

00:13:10.460 Speaking of the midterm elections,

00:13:12.460 they're still going on.

00:13:13.400 Did you know that?

00:13:14.180 I know that you thought that they were last Tuesday.

00:13:15.940 They're still going on.

00:13:16.940 They're going to be going on

00:13:17.720 for another couple of years, probably.

00:13:19.800 We're going to have midterm elections,

00:13:21.520 the 2018 midterm elections,

00:13:23.100 during the 2022 midterm elections.

00:13:25.740 In Arizona, Republican Martha McSally

00:13:28.240 has just conceded to socialist, 0.91

00:13:32.740 pro-Taliban, lunatic, Kyrsten Sinema. 0.98

00:13:35.740 When I say pro-Taliban lunatic, 0.97

00:13:38.400 I'm not just being hyperbolic.

00:13:40.200 She suggested after September 11th

00:13:42.020 that it would be fine for Americans

00:13:43.240 to go fight for the Taliban.

00:13:45.620 That's who just beat Martha McSally, 1.00

00:13:49.020 who I believe is the first female pilot

00:13:51.640 to fly in combat.

00:13:52.960 The first American female pilot

00:13:54.680 to fly in combat.

00:13:55.860 All around incredible, great patriotic American.

00:13:58.400 Just lost to Kyrsten Sinema.

00:14:00.400 So how did McSally take it?

00:14:02.680 Well, you know, I mean,

00:14:03.360 we've seen what's happened in Florida,

00:14:04.900 what's happened in Georgia.

00:14:06.140 All these Democrats demanding recounts,

00:14:08.680 unconceding races,

00:14:09.940 saying they're going to fight tooth and nail.

00:14:11.460 What does McSally do?

00:14:13.080 She gracefully and politely concedes.

00:14:14.760 Here she is.

00:14:15.940 Hey, everybody.

00:14:16.540 I just called Kyrsten Sinema

00:14:17.860 and congratulated her

00:14:18.980 on becoming Arizona's first female senator

00:14:21.060 after a hard-fought battle.

00:14:23.240 I wish her all success

00:14:24.520 as she represents Arizona in the Senate.

00:14:26.880 And I also want to say thank you

00:14:28.080 to everybody who supported me

00:14:29.440 in this campaign,

00:14:30.500 my staff and volunteers

00:14:32.120 and everybody who voted for me.

00:14:33.840 I'm so grateful for you

00:14:34.840 as my wingman

00:14:35.480 and my wingwomen in this journey.

00:14:37.160 We sure wish it came out

00:14:38.360 with a different result,

00:14:39.300 but I'm so thankful for you.

00:14:41.260 As I traveled around this state,

00:14:42.820 I was so inspired

00:14:43.840 by the many people that I met.

00:14:45.660 And I am convinced

00:14:46.580 Arizona is the best state in the country

00:14:48.880 and our best days are still yet to come.

00:14:51.400 And I'm going to continue

00:14:52.080 to pray for our success.

00:14:53.440 Thank you so much.

00:14:54.360 She is convinced that Arizona

00:14:58.140 is the best state in the country.

00:15:01.120 Okay, so that's graceful,

00:15:03.640 beautiful, hopeful,

00:15:05.340 talking about, you know,

00:15:06.620 how great her constituents are.

00:15:07.960 Okay, now let's compare that

00:15:09.920 to the woman who actually won the race.

00:15:12.460 Kyrsten Sinema, take it away.

00:15:14.280 As we see in this very quote

00:15:15.920 that the states are

00:15:16.880 the laboratories of democracy

00:15:18.240 and in my state, Arizona,

00:15:19.420 is clearly the meth lab of democracy.

00:15:21.880 Yeah, and I cannot take credit

00:15:27.580 for that line.

00:15:28.240 Someone at The Daily Show wrote it,

00:15:29.800 but I'm happy to steal it

00:15:30.760 and use it all the time.

00:15:33.100 So one says Arizona

00:15:35.220 is just a great, wonderful place

00:15:36.660 and all the people are terrific.

00:15:37.800 So they don't vote for that woman.

00:15:39.820 They vote for the woman 1.00

00:15:40.700 who calls Arizona

00:15:41.600 the meth lab of democracy.

00:15:43.220 This is pretty troubling.

00:15:44.880 And it's troubling for a few reasons.

00:15:46.700 One, how did Sinema win?

00:15:48.360 Was there voter fraud?

00:15:49.620 Maybe.

00:15:50.580 Voter fraud happens

00:15:51.300 all around the country.

00:15:52.780 Absolutely could be.

00:15:53.600 We've seen videos

00:15:54.380 in this midterm elections

00:15:56.180 of poll workers saying

00:15:58.520 that illegal aliens 1.00

00:15:59.460 are encouraged to vote.

00:16:01.160 We've got the video.

00:16:02.320 You can't deny it.

00:16:03.280 Don't tell me to disbelieve

00:16:04.260 my own lion eyes.

00:16:05.540 We've seen people say it.

00:16:07.160 We've seen in Florida

00:16:08.720 that Democrat operatives

00:16:10.300 have just discovered

00:16:11.220 random boxes

00:16:12.200 of provisional ballots

00:16:13.200 that only vote

00:16:14.260 for Democrat candidates

00:16:15.560 who are in trouble.

00:16:16.560 Okay, so could there be

00:16:17.400 voter fraud?

00:16:17.960 Yeah, absolutely.

00:16:18.600 There are plenty of people

00:16:19.200 who are registered to vote

00:16:20.180 in two different states,

00:16:21.160 registered to vote

00:16:21.760 where they shouldn't be

00:16:22.360 registered to vote,

00:16:23.200 where they don't live.

00:16:24.540 I guess it could be that.

00:16:26.200 Or I'd actually be happier

00:16:28.180 if it were caused

00:16:28.780 by voter fraud.

00:16:29.960 Perhaps the more troubling thing

00:16:31.300 is that Arizona

00:16:32.360 is tilting Democrat.

00:16:34.540 It's a red state.

00:16:35.880 It's been a red state.

00:16:36.780 I don't think it's been

00:16:37.320 represented by a Democrat

00:16:38.320 in the Senate for 30 years.

00:16:40.440 Now, however,

00:16:41.400 if you look at just the number

00:16:42.580 of registered Democrats

00:16:43.600 and Republicans,

00:16:44.720 it's almost equal.

00:16:47.340 Republicans still have

00:16:48.040 a very, very slight advantage,

00:16:49.580 but it's almost equal now.

00:16:51.360 And this is a real

00:16:52.260 worrying trend

00:16:53.040 because it seems

00:16:54.020 that the more and more

00:16:54.720 Democrats who are in that state,

00:16:56.280 the more likely it is

00:16:57.260 that you're going to

00:16:58.320 lose good patriotic candidates

00:17:00.400 like Martha McSally,

00:17:03.000 you know,

00:17:03.620 first female pilot

00:17:04.740 to flying combat,

00:17:05.920 and you're going to get

00:17:06.880 someone who literally

00:17:07.900 is supporting the Taliban.

00:17:10.240 Even John McCain.

00:17:11.320 I mean, say what you will

00:17:12.080 about his politics,

00:17:12.940 which were basically awful,

00:17:14.880 but the guy

00:17:16.380 was an American hero.

00:17:17.260 He did fight for his country.

00:17:18.440 He was patriotic to the end.

00:17:20.300 And now to have that state

00:17:22.260 represented by a woman

00:17:24.840 who calls Arizona

00:17:27.000 the Met Lab of Democracy,

00:17:28.580 begs for the rest of the country

00:17:30.060 not to turn into Arizona,

00:17:31.460 and then talks about

00:17:32.240 how great the Taliban is. 0.98

00:17:33.500 That is very sad.

00:17:34.520 That's very troubling.

00:17:35.580 Hopefully it's just Arizona.

00:17:37.260 I mean, you know,

00:17:38.100 it seems that Kyrsten Sinema's

00:17:39.540 election has proved

00:17:40.520 Kyrsten Sinema's statements

00:17:41.960 about Arizona true.

00:17:43.560 Hopefully this doesn't hold true

00:17:45.420 for the rest of the country.

00:17:46.320 And look,

00:17:47.560 there are particulars of races.

00:17:48.940 I mean, certain candidates

00:17:49.700 campaign harder,

00:17:50.700 have a better ground game,

00:17:51.740 have better organizing,

00:17:52.940 but it's too bad

00:17:53.720 because you had a great candidate,

00:17:54.700 McSally,

00:17:55.160 and now she is over.

00:17:57.480 Now, broadly speaking,

00:17:58.700 why would even Democrats,

00:18:01.000 even partisan Democrats,

00:18:02.100 vote for a Taliban apologist 0.71

00:18:04.980 over a war hero?

00:18:06.680 Well, there is a new study out today

00:18:08.900 from Axios Survey Monkey

00:18:10.180 which might give the answer,

00:18:11.460 which is that 61% of Democrats

00:18:13.400 believe that Republicans

00:18:14.980 are racist, 0.99

00:18:16.420 sexist, 0.99

00:18:17.180 and bigoted. 0.98

00:18:18.940 61%.

00:18:19.420 First of all,

00:18:20.960 kudos to you 39% of Democrats

00:18:22.860 who don't think that.

00:18:23.960 Thank you for being adults.

00:18:25.100 Good job.

00:18:25.780 But 61%,

00:18:26.740 the majority,

00:18:27.800 a strong majority of Democrats,

00:18:29.680 believe that Republicans

00:18:30.480 are racist, 0.99

00:18:31.240 sexist, 0.99

00:18:31.600 and bigoted. 0.98

00:18:32.880 Compared to Republicans,

00:18:34.400 even now,

00:18:35.000 at the pitch of the battle,

00:18:36.100 as hot as it is,

00:18:36.980 only 31% of Republicans

00:18:39.560 believe that Democrats

00:18:41.060 are racist, 0.99

00:18:42.500 sexist, 0.99

00:18:43.240 and bigoted. 0.98

00:18:44.500 And so you've got less than,

00:18:47.520 or you've got about half,

00:18:48.780 roughly half,

00:18:49.560 the number of Republicans

00:18:50.480 as Democrats believe

00:18:51.860 that their opponents

00:18:52.800 are racist, 0.87

00:18:54.080 sexist, 0.99

00:18:54.680 and bigoted. 0.96

00:18:55.500 According to this study,

00:18:56.600 one-third of Americans

00:18:57.540 say that they would be disappointed

00:18:59.180 if a close family member

00:19:00.560 married someone

00:19:01.680 with different political views.

00:19:04.640 A third of Americans.

00:19:05.820 I was wondering about this

00:19:07.100 because I thought,

00:19:07.600 you know,

00:19:07.820 someday,

00:19:08.940 hopefully,

00:19:09.520 when it's the day

00:19:10.020 of my daughter's wedding,

00:19:10.960 I'm sitting up like Don Corleone

00:19:12.420 in my office

00:19:13.840 granting favors to people

00:19:15.200 and some lefty comes in

00:19:18.680 and he's going to marry my daughter.

00:19:20.180 Would I be a little disappointed?

00:19:21.560 I don't know.

00:19:22.140 It depends on the guy.

00:19:23.100 I know good left-wingers.

00:19:24.700 I'm friends with a number

00:19:25.980 of left-wingers.

00:19:26.660 Probably the majority

00:19:27.260 of my friends are left-wing

00:19:28.360 just by virtue of the places

00:19:29.860 that I've lived.

00:19:30.680 So it depends on the person.

00:19:32.080 If it were a Democrat

00:19:34.340 who believes that

00:19:35.200 all Republicans

00:19:35.760 are racist, 1.00

00:19:36.360 sexist bigots, 1.00

00:19:37.100 I probably wouldn't like that guy. 0.99

00:19:38.540 But if it's a little bit more

00:19:39.880 of a sane Democrat,

00:19:40.980 I guess that would be fine.

00:19:42.580 But a third of Americans now say

00:19:44.100 they would be troubled by that.

00:19:46.060 The most interesting part

00:19:47.520 of this survey

00:19:49.280 is on the question of evil

00:19:50.640 because I actually understand

00:19:52.680 the one-third answer.

00:19:54.720 I actually understand

00:19:55.460 why a third of Americans

00:19:56.560 would be troubled

00:19:57.600 if a family member

00:19:58.300 married someone

00:19:58.800 of the other political party.

00:20:00.040 If you're in a situation

00:20:01.440 where the majority of Democrats

00:20:02.920 believe that Republicans

00:20:05.000 are racist, 0.99

00:20:05.520 sexist, 0.99

00:20:05.840 and bigoted, 0.88

00:20:06.960 then you're basically saying

00:20:08.180 that they're evil.

00:20:09.660 Because in America,

00:20:10.820 that's the worst thing

00:20:11.460 you can call somebody

00:20:12.200 is a racist. 0.88

00:20:13.320 And to say that you want

00:20:14.840 to discriminate against people

00:20:16.120 on the basis of their skin,

00:20:17.700 you want to be unfair to people,

00:20:19.200 you want to keep people down,

00:20:20.340 you want to oppress people

00:20:21.420 based on immutable characteristics

00:20:23.520 like race and sex,

00:20:25.060 that's pretty wicked. 0.69

00:20:26.080 That's pretty bad stuff.

00:20:27.880 So if you think that

00:20:29.080 the other person is evil,

00:20:30.620 probably you don't want

00:20:31.500 your little sister

00:20:32.320 to marry that guy.

00:20:33.960 However,

00:20:34.700 look at the breakdown

00:20:35.560 on the question of evil

00:20:36.440 because it asks Democrats

00:20:38.000 and Republicans,

00:20:39.060 do you think the other side

00:20:40.000 is evil?

00:20:42.000 So 61% of Democrats

00:20:43.860 say that GOP

00:20:44.940 and Republicans

00:20:45.840 are racist, 1.00

00:20:46.420 sexist, 1.00

00:20:46.720 bigoted, 0.98

00:20:47.100 but only 21% of them

00:20:48.520 say that they're evil.

00:20:50.480 As for Republicans,

00:20:52.180 31% of Republicans

00:20:53.600 think that Democrats

00:20:54.460 are racist, 0.99

00:20:55.040 sexist, 1.00

00:20:55.380 bigoted, 0.98

00:20:55.620 but 23% of them

00:20:58.000 think that they're evil.

00:20:59.120 So you've got 31%

00:21:00.320 and 23%.

00:21:01.320 That means that you've got

00:21:02.240 8% of Republicans

00:21:03.440 who don't seem to think

00:21:04.820 that being racist,

00:21:06.260 sexist, 0.84

00:21:06.980 and bigoted 1.00

00:21:07.520 is evil

00:21:08.480 compared to 40%

00:21:09.880 of Democrats

00:21:10.460 who don't believe

00:21:11.140 that being racist,

00:21:11.880 sexist, 0.84

00:21:12.160 and bigoted 1.00

00:21:12.480 is evil.

00:21:13.180 That number is actually

00:21:14.120 pretty interesting.

00:21:15.260 You've got 40% 0.84

00:21:17.140 of Democrats

00:21:19.040 who are,

00:21:20.480 they're so quick

00:21:21.240 to throw around

00:21:21.880 those words,

00:21:22.820 racist, 0.77

00:21:23.720 sexist, 0.99

00:21:24.300 thisist, 0.97

00:21:24.780 thatist,

00:21:25.180 but they don't

00:21:25.960 really think

00:21:26.380 it's evil.

00:21:26.840 They're just

00:21:27.180 using it.

00:21:28.060 They use it

00:21:28.660 like water.

00:21:29.800 They just,

00:21:30.480 I don't like you, 0.90

00:21:31.280 you're a meanie, 0.99

00:21:32.160 and it shows 0.96

00:21:33.220 how unseriously

00:21:34.380 they take those

00:21:35.160 questions,

00:21:36.000 how unseriously

00:21:36.860 they take issues

00:21:37.980 of racial discrimination,

00:21:39.660 sexual assault.

00:21:40.560 They don't take it

00:21:41.240 seriously at all.

00:21:41.980 They bandied about

00:21:42.900 like nothing.

00:21:43.980 Quite interesting,

00:21:44.700 though,

00:21:44.820 how much more seriously,

00:21:46.260 how much more evil

00:21:47.540 Republicans consider

00:21:49.100 those sorts of things

00:21:49.960 than Democrats.

00:21:50.880 That part of the poll

00:21:51.740 isn't being reported,

00:21:52.660 but it's probably

00:21:53.220 the most interesting thing

00:21:54.300 in there.

00:21:56.320 Obviously,

00:21:57.360 right now,

00:21:58.520 we're coming off

00:21:59.840 of a midterm election.

00:22:00.820 We've got a strong

00:22:02.140 president who is

00:22:03.020 actually implementing

00:22:04.140 a conservative agenda,

00:22:05.660 and so tensions

00:22:06.400 on both sides

00:22:07.420 are pretty high.

00:22:08.520 Both people are really

00:22:09.740 turning the rhetoric up,

00:22:11.360 but for Democrats,

00:22:13.880 for the majority

00:22:14.320 of Democrats

00:22:14.840 to say that sort of thing

00:22:15.940 about Republicans

00:22:16.620 shows you

00:22:17.200 in what a difficult

00:22:18.040 place we are right now.

00:22:19.740 It also shows you

00:22:20.540 what a fantasy

00:22:21.220 that they are living in.

00:22:23.380 What a total fantasy.

00:22:25.280 In what country,

00:22:26.400 in what country

00:22:28.100 that offers

00:22:29.200 affirmative action programs

00:22:30.640 for universities,

00:22:33.620 for private schools,

00:22:34.740 for the job market,

00:22:38.660 in what country

00:22:39.500 that is constantly

00:22:40.620 boasting wonderful diversity,

00:22:42.600 that is always,

00:22:43.800 dedicates a month

00:22:44.840 to black history,

00:22:45.980 dedicates days

00:22:46.680 to these great

00:22:47.260 civil rights leaders,

00:22:48.560 that is constantly

00:22:49.840 talking about this,

00:22:50.800 that just elected

00:22:51.620 the first black president

00:22:52.620 twice,

00:22:53.320 elected him twice in a row.

00:22:55.500 How on earth

00:22:56.340 is that country

00:22:57.240 half full of just 1.00

00:22:59.880 dirty, rotten, 1.00

00:23:00.940 bigot racists? 1.00

00:23:03.060 How is that?

00:23:03.940 You know,

00:23:04.120 more than half the country

00:23:04.900 voted for Barack Obama.

00:23:06.860 More than half.

00:23:07.620 So how is that possible?

00:23:09.100 It's obviously absurd,

00:23:10.420 but they're living

00:23:10.920 in this fantasy,

00:23:12.460 and nowhere is this fantasy

00:23:13.680 clearer than when you

00:23:15.100 talk to really rich

00:23:16.840 celebrity Democrats.

00:23:18.900 This Jada Pinkett Smith,

00:23:20.860 who is Will Smith's wife,

00:23:23.300 she just did this program 0.81

00:23:24.980 called The Racial Divide

00:23:26.080 Between Women, 0.99

00:23:27.160 Red Table Talk.

00:23:28.640 What, you don't watch it

00:23:29.440 all the time?

00:23:29.940 This isn't your regular viewing?

00:23:31.620 You go straight from

00:23:32.300 The Daily Wire shows

00:23:33.100 to go watch Red Table Talk?

00:23:34.600 I don't know.

00:23:35.400 She did this program,

00:23:37.040 it was going around

00:23:37.900 social media,

00:23:39.080 and she talked about how much,

00:23:40.340 first of all,

00:23:40.700 she talked about how much

00:23:41.220 she doesn't like 0.63

00:23:41.800 blonde white women, 0.97

00:23:43.020 that she just has

00:23:44.160 a prejudice against them.

00:23:45.500 I guess kudos to her 1.00

00:23:46.380 for being honest.

00:23:47.120 She should rectify

00:23:47.800 that prejudice

00:23:48.400 because it isn't very nice,

00:23:50.000 but she says she doesn't 0.88

00:23:51.160 like blonde white women. 1.00

00:23:52.160 Okay.

00:23:52.640 But then what she said,

00:23:53.940 the most incredible thing

00:23:55.080 that she says

00:23:55.560 is about her own

00:23:58.180 unfathomable oppression.

00:24:01.140 Mrs. Smith,

00:24:01.760 take it away.

00:24:02.440 Specifically in regards

00:24:03.480 to my relationship

00:24:04.440 with white women,

00:24:06.320 the thing that really

00:24:07.720 breaks my heart 0.99

00:24:09.700 is that white women 1.00

00:24:12.200 understand what it feels

00:24:14.020 to be oppressed.

00:24:15.580 Because of their sex. 0.83

00:24:16.580 And what it feels to,

00:24:17.260 exactly,

00:24:18.000 because of their sex. 0.82

00:24:18.940 What it feels to be ostracized

00:24:21.080 or not being treated

00:24:23.180 as an equal.

00:24:24.300 What she's talking about,

00:24:25.640 though,

00:24:25.940 in this interview

00:24:27.660 is her oppression. 1.00

00:24:30.440 Oh, she's so oppressed. 1.00

00:24:32.820 She's so,

00:24:33.520 she doesn't understand,

00:24:34.320 you know,

00:24:34.560 white women are oppressed too. 1.00

00:24:36.060 We're all oppressed 0.56

00:24:36.880 by the big, bad,

00:24:38.620 I don't know,

00:24:40.080 white, straight male

00:24:41.800 who thinks he's a male

00:24:43.120 of English descent,

00:24:44.840 probably not even Irish

00:24:46.220 because they got

00:24:46.740 sort of oppressed

00:24:47.400 and this and that.

00:24:48.220 Obviously absurd hierarchies.

00:24:50.180 Jada Pinkett Smith

00:24:50.940 is worth $300 million.

00:24:53.020 She's worth $300 million. 1.00

00:24:56.140 That is approximately

00:24:57.200 $300 million

00:24:58.760 more than I am worth.

00:25:00.660 I don't know,

00:25:00.860 why am I checking

00:25:01.240 my watch for that?

00:25:02.040 I don't even,

00:25:02.340 I don't have my net worth

00:25:03.640 written on my wrist.

00:25:04.840 That is absurd.

00:25:06.260 But she has to call herself

00:25:07.920 a victim.

00:25:09.780 She has to call herself oppressed.

00:25:11.000 Why is that?

00:25:12.720 Why do these women? 1.00

00:25:13.560 They all do it.

00:25:14.140 They do it in politics.

00:25:15.400 They do it in Hollywood.

00:25:16.800 They do it at even levels

00:25:18.840 of business.

00:25:19.480 On the left,

00:25:20.680 they do it because

00:25:21.880 what they want

00:25:23.100 is the one thing

00:25:24.160 that their money

00:25:24.720 just can't buy,

00:25:26.200 which is victimhood.

00:25:27.760 Victimhood has

00:25:28.600 a social currency now.

00:25:30.980 It's why everybody

00:25:32.340 is saying

00:25:33.120 that there's some

00:25:34.000 aggrieved minority,

00:25:35.280 if not a racial minority,

00:25:36.600 if they're not pretending

00:25:37.240 to be one

00:25:37.840 1,024th Native American,

00:25:39.620 then they will claim

00:25:40.660 to be a sexual minority

00:25:41.900 or they will claim

00:25:43.000 to have been abused

00:25:43.900 at rates that are

00:25:44.640 much higher

00:25:45.360 than statistically

00:25:46.180 it is possible

00:25:46.920 for people to have

00:25:47.840 been abused.

00:25:48.660 They will do this

00:25:49.540 because victimhood

00:25:50.660 carries a social currency

00:25:52.380 in our very sick culture.

00:25:54.360 You think about

00:25:54.960 Trumpy Bear,

00:25:55.800 you think about

00:25:56.400 Teddy Roosevelt,

00:25:57.660 these are cultures

00:25:59.760 that are promoting strength,

00:26:03.380 that reward strength,

00:26:04.400 that say,

00:26:04.780 you're not a victim,

00:26:05.520 go out there,

00:26:06.060 be strong.

00:26:06.680 But we're in a very

00:26:07.660 broken culture now.

00:26:08.580 It's especially clear

00:26:09.360 on the left

00:26:09.820 where the more

00:26:11.380 of a victim

00:26:11.880 you can claim to be,

00:26:13.000 the higher up

00:26:13.780 the totem pole you sit,

00:26:15.660 the better place

00:26:16.540 that you can be.

00:26:17.180 And a lot of celebrities

00:26:18.080 are doing this.

00:26:19.220 Even Michelle Obama

00:26:20.080 herself is doing this.

00:26:21.380 Here is Michelle Obama.

00:26:22.860 She's been doing

00:26:23.320 this book tour

00:26:24.020 for her book,

00:26:25.260 Becoming.

00:26:26.080 Here is Michelle Obama's

00:26:28.520 take on her

00:26:30.240 terrible oppression.

00:26:31.900 He's still a law student

00:26:33.020 at Harvard.

00:26:33.920 Right.

00:26:34.500 First year.

00:26:35.200 First year.

00:26:36.360 You're going to be

00:26:37.040 his mentor.

00:26:37.820 Yeah.

00:26:38.400 He comes blowing

00:26:39.360 into town,

00:26:39.940 a little bit famous already,

00:26:41.660 late for the first meeting.

00:26:42.760 Late.

00:26:43.480 Late.

00:26:44.260 I was like,

00:26:44.740 is he trifling? 0.96

00:26:46.280 The black man's 0.99

00:26:47.480 going to be late 0.88

00:26:47.980 on the first day?

00:26:49.220 I was like,

00:26:49.720 hmm.

00:26:50.080 You weren't overly

00:26:50.740 impressed in the beginning.

00:26:52.120 I wasn't.

00:26:53.260 You know,

00:26:53.540 I have my suspicions

00:26:54.880 when a bunch of white folks 0.98

00:26:56.700 fawn on over a black man 0.97

00:26:58.560 because I sort of think,

00:26:59.420 okay,

00:26:59.600 he can talk straight.

00:27:00.480 So they think

00:27:01.360 he's wonderful.

00:27:02.760 So.

00:27:02.920 Did you catch that?

00:27:08.020 What was it?

00:27:08.440 She says,

00:27:09.060 I have my suspicions

00:27:10.420 when a bunch of white people

00:27:11.880 are fawning all over 0.99

00:27:13.080 a black man 0.99

00:27:13.900 because of all the racism. 0.97

00:27:17.180 Because of all the racism

00:27:18.100 that Michelle,

00:27:18.780 didn't Michelle Obama

00:27:19.540 go to Princeton or something?

00:27:21.200 She goes,

00:27:21.540 I'm almost positive

00:27:22.660 she went to Princeton.

00:27:23.840 She was working

00:27:24.380 at a good law firm.

00:27:25.800 She's a first lady 1.00

00:27:26.820 of the United States

00:27:27.660 married to a future president.

00:27:29.760 She's got a book deal. 0.98

00:27:30.820 She's one of the most powerful women 1.00

00:27:32.180 on the face of the earth.

00:27:33.320 But she sees racism everywhere.

00:27:35.100 She was doing this yesterday 0.70

00:27:36.140 in her interview too.

00:27:37.240 She was blaming racism

00:27:39.020 for any criticism of her,

00:27:40.980 of her husband,

00:27:42.160 of her husband's presidency.

00:27:44.100 It was all racism

00:27:44.940 because people weren't ready 0.79

00:27:46.120 to accept a black man

00:27:47.400 in the Oval Office.

00:27:48.300 People were more than ready

00:27:49.200 to accept a black man 0.57

00:27:50.100 in the Oval Office.

00:27:50.980 I know Republicans,

00:27:52.160 moderate Republicans,

00:27:53.160 but nevertheless Republicans,

00:27:54.460 who voted for Obama

00:27:55.760 just to have the experience

00:27:57.900 of voting for the first

00:27:59.200 black president.

00:27:59.840 I know multiple people 0.95

00:28:01.440 who did that

00:28:01.880 because they wanted

00:28:02.560 to be a part of that.

00:28:03.580 They didn't want there

00:28:04.380 to be a racial barrier

00:28:05.640 to the presidency.

00:28:06.980 And so they were even

00:28:07.660 willing to stomach 0.98

00:28:08.640 a lousy, awful president 1.00

00:28:11.040 like Barack Obama 1.00

00:28:12.000 if it meant that you could

00:28:14.300 get the first black president.

00:28:16.380 So, obviously,

00:28:18.340 blaming racism

00:28:18.940 for constantly harping on race,

00:28:20.820 talking about race,

00:28:21.560 that's fine.

00:28:23.320 Something we've learned

00:28:24.240 in these interviews

00:28:24.900 that is also going

00:28:26.080 very unreported

00:28:27.280 is that in order

00:28:28.500 to conceive their daughters,

00:28:30.500 the Obamas used

00:28:31.460 in vitro fertilization.

00:28:33.720 And the reason I say,

00:28:34.480 look, a lot of people

00:28:35.000 use in vitro fertilization.

00:28:36.560 I have pals of mine

00:28:37.560 who were conceived that way.

00:28:39.200 So it's a fairly

00:28:40.440 mainstream procedure now.

00:28:41.900 But what's interesting

00:28:42.620 is that the right wing

00:28:44.480 has criticized Barack Obama,

00:28:46.100 rightly,

00:28:46.820 for a great many things.

00:28:48.380 But they haven't brought

00:28:49.540 this one up

00:28:50.160 because IVF

00:28:51.480 is not mentioned a lot

00:28:52.420 in pro-life circles.

00:28:53.660 Pro-life focuses

00:28:54.560 on how awful abortion is

00:28:56.380 and how many babies

00:28:57.040 are killed each year.

00:28:58.060 But they seem to overlook

00:29:00.020 that in vitro fertilization

00:29:01.720 also destroys human lives,

00:29:04.400 new human lives

00:29:05.300 that are conceived.

00:29:06.500 In vitro freezes them 0.86

00:29:07.580 indefinitely 0.94

00:29:08.100 or kills them 1.00

00:29:09.140 or implants them 1.00

00:29:10.220 and then when they're

00:29:10.640 not wanted,

00:29:11.640 aborts them.

00:29:12.800 A lot of people

00:29:13.300 don't know about this.

00:29:14.140 I think Catholics

00:29:14.720 focus on this one

00:29:15.620 a bit more,

00:29:16.560 but a lot of other people

00:29:18.060 in the pro-life movement

00:29:18.920 do not and they should.

00:29:21.740 If you remember

00:29:22.720 a number of years ago,

00:29:24.180 there was that woman, 0.99

00:29:24.900 Nadia Suleiman,

00:29:25.380 who did in vitro fertilization.

00:29:28.480 She couldn't get pregnant 1.00

00:29:29.500 so they implanted

00:29:31.200 eight little babies

00:29:33.700 inside of her

00:29:34.320 and typically

00:29:35.640 in that situation

00:29:36.580 they would abort

00:29:37.500 whichever ones

00:29:38.460 the mother didn't want. 1.00

00:29:39.860 But Nadia Suleiman

00:29:40.740 is pro-life

00:29:41.340 so she just had

00:29:42.520 eight babies

00:29:43.140 and she became

00:29:43.800 the octomon.

00:29:44.680 I suppose that's

00:29:45.340 one good way

00:29:46.320 to do IVF

00:29:47.560 but in almost

00:29:48.980 100% of cases

00:29:50.040 it results

00:29:50.980 in the death

00:29:51.760 of an embryo

00:29:52.640 of an individual

00:29:54.620 human life

00:29:55.400 and it's because

00:29:56.140 it's so expensive

00:29:57.040 to do it

00:29:57.640 that you need

00:29:58.120 to create

00:29:58.600 multiple embryos

00:29:59.700 or I suppose

00:30:00.560 beget multiple embryos

00:30:02.060 just to have a chance

00:30:03.240 for one or two

00:30:04.040 of them to take.

00:30:06.440 I was trying to wonder

00:30:07.700 if this makes

00:30:08.320 Barack Obama

00:30:09.220 the most pro-abortion

00:30:10.400 president

00:30:10.860 in American history

00:30:12.180 because he was

00:30:13.520 running on it.

00:30:14.440 The way he was talking

00:30:15.260 on the campaign trail

00:30:16.160 he gave full-throated

00:30:17.640 support to abortion,

00:30:19.080 a ton of taxpayer funding

00:30:20.240 to Planned Parenthood.

00:30:21.160 He was very,

00:30:23.220 very left-wing

00:30:23.980 on abortion.

00:30:25.280 He opposed bans

00:30:26.440 on partial birth abortion.

00:30:27.680 He's about as pro-abortion 0.79

00:30:28.540 as you can get.

00:30:29.820 Now I figured,

00:30:30.520 I don't know,

00:30:31.600 John F. Kennedy

00:30:32.540 was pretty loose

00:30:34.140 with the women

00:30:34.600 back in the day,

00:30:35.320 pretty debauched.

00:30:36.080 There were always

00:30:36.460 some tales that came out

00:30:37.460 that he asked women 0.53

00:30:38.360 to get abortions. 1.00

00:30:39.200 I don't know about this

00:30:39.900 but almost certainly

00:30:42.300 the IVF procedure

00:30:43.560 involves taking

00:30:45.260 a new human life

00:30:47.140 and ending it

00:30:47.860 and I wonder

00:30:49.000 if the pro-life circles

00:30:50.360 are going to start

00:30:50.780 talking about it,

00:30:51.400 if conservatives

00:30:52.120 are going to bring that up

00:30:53.360 or if they're going

00:30:54.360 to give it a pass

00:30:55.120 because it's a little,

00:30:56.220 it's a little murky

00:30:57.960 for some people

00:30:58.620 on the pro-life issue

00:30:59.520 because IVF is used

00:31:00.760 to create new human lives

00:31:01.980 but it's so morally

00:31:03.840 dubious

00:31:05.580 because it also results

00:31:06.680 in ending human lives.

00:31:07.600 We have a lot more

00:31:08.060 to talk about.

00:31:08.620 Facebook seems to have

00:31:09.640 fired an executive

00:31:10.460 for supporting Donald Trump

00:31:11.740 and Ted Cruz

00:31:12.400 completely identified this

00:31:14.060 and he totally called it

00:31:15.100 and we should have

00:31:15.820 known it at the time.

00:31:16.560 Also, there are other

00:31:18.160 prominent conservatives

00:31:18.920 who are getting abused.

00:31:19.740 It's no longer

00:31:20.480 just politicians

00:31:21.280 who are being attacked

00:31:23.060 in public.

00:31:23.780 It's commentators too

00:31:24.820 and we know exactly

00:31:25.660 why that is.

00:31:27.280 Also, tonight at 7 p.m.,

00:31:29.320 you'll notice I'm not

00:31:30.020 in my broom closet

00:31:31.540 or in the cave

00:31:32.360 in Tora Bora anymore.

00:31:33.620 I am in Milwaukee,

00:31:35.240 Wisconsin right now.

00:31:36.320 I will be speaking tonight

00:31:37.280 at the University of Wisconsin

00:31:38.420 Whitewater,

00:31:39.460 the latest stop

00:31:40.360 on my YAF tour.

00:31:41.960 We will be discussing

00:31:43.000 I think the most urgent

00:31:44.480 topic yet.

00:31:45.100 We've talked about

00:31:45.580 a lot of topics so far.

00:31:46.980 We've talked about

00:31:47.780 the simple joys

00:31:48.620 of being right.

00:31:49.440 We've talked about

00:31:50.220 how to write nothing

00:31:50.900 and sell 100,000 copies.

00:31:52.360 We've defended

00:31:52.980 owning the libs.

00:31:54.040 Tonight, I think,

00:31:54.580 is the most urgent.

00:31:56.140 Tonight, we're going to

00:31:56.660 talk about

00:31:57.120 how to be a man

00:31:58.440 when you look 0.95

00:31:59.380 like a maddow.

00:32:02.260 Some people have told me

00:32:03.380 I'll get into it tonight.

00:32:04.800 I'll get into it.

00:32:05.320 I don't see the resemblance

00:32:06.360 myself, but we'll get

00:32:07.540 into it anyway.

00:32:08.460 So it should be

00:32:09.180 a good talk.

00:32:10.000 If you are around there,

00:32:11.260 it's going to be

00:32:11.520 at 7 p.m.

00:32:12.180 Come on over.

00:32:13.040 Fill up those sweet,

00:32:14.920 sweet Leftist Tears tumblers.

00:32:16.380 Come on out.

00:32:17.080 And you can also

00:32:17.560 catch me tomorrow night

00:32:18.540 at Michigan State University.

00:32:20.840 I'm just going to be

00:32:21.560 jet-setting all over the place.

00:32:23.000 I don't know.

00:32:23.260 Maybe I'll turn up

00:32:23.780 in your backyard

00:32:24.300 at some point.

00:32:25.720 Lock your doors.

00:32:26.740 Close your shutters.

00:32:28.620 If you're not on Facebook

00:32:30.040 and YouTube right now,

00:32:31.100 you're on The Daily Wire.

00:32:31.860 Thank you for subscribing.

00:32:33.100 You help keep the lights on

00:32:34.080 and covfefe in my cup.

00:32:35.920 This is a sad little hotel cup,

00:32:37.880 but usually I'd be having

00:32:38.780 a Leftist Tears tumbler.

00:32:40.120 If you are there,

00:32:42.040 you know it's $10 a month,

00:32:43.420 $100 for an annual membership.

00:32:44.760 You get me.

00:32:45.240 You get the Andrew Claven show.

00:32:46.380 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:32:47.500 You get to ask questions

00:32:48.200 in the mailbag.

00:32:48.880 You get to ask questions

00:32:49.460 in the conversation.

00:32:50.380 You get another kingdom.

00:32:51.120 You get a lot of stuff.

00:32:52.000 You get the Leftist Tears tumbler.

00:32:53.300 That is all that matters.

00:32:55.020 I think if I'm not arrested

00:32:56.540 by the thought police

00:32:57.380 in Wisconsin,

00:32:58.520 I'm certainly going to

00:32:59.760 whitewater raft out of here

00:33:01.720 on the Sea of Leftist Tears.

00:33:03.600 So make sure you get yours.

00:33:04.540 It's the only FDA-approved vessel

00:33:05.940 for salty, tasty Leftist Tears.

00:33:07.760 And then come right back

00:33:09.680 because we've got

00:33:09.980 a lot more coming up.

00:33:22.160 According to the Wall Street Journal,

00:33:24.200 Facebook has fired an executive

00:33:26.480 explicitly for supporting

00:33:28.740 Donald Trump.

00:33:30.120 And Mark Zuckerberg

00:33:30.940 might have lied about it

00:33:32.100 in a testimony to the Senate.

00:33:34.540 So the guy is Palmer Lucky.

00:33:37.160 He's the co-founder of Oculus.

00:33:38.920 You know, Oculus is that

00:33:39.820 virtual reality system,

00:33:41.780 which is pretty cool.

00:33:43.740 It's the one where you,

00:33:45.640 you know, you feel like

00:33:47.160 you're on the top of a building

00:33:48.120 and then you feel like

00:33:48.680 you're falling off

00:33:49.300 and it's cool.

00:33:49.820 They haven't really perfected

00:33:50.860 the technology yet,

00:33:51.880 but once they get the graphics

00:33:54.240 to be a little bit better,

00:33:55.600 people are just going to plug

00:33:57.220 into the Matrix forever.

00:33:58.360 Actually, the real thing is, 0.74

00:33:59.940 between the sex dolls 0.86

00:34:01.280 and once they get 0.99

00:34:02.220 virtual porn set up,

00:34:05.460 the human race actually 0.98

00:34:06.300 will die out

00:34:07.020 within, I think,

00:34:07.800 about six months.

00:34:08.960 I don't think,

00:34:09.380 I don't think there's any hope

00:34:10.420 at that point.

00:34:11.200 Between, as you've heard, 0.97

00:34:12.020 there are sex doll brothels now 1.00

00:34:13.620 cropping up all over the world. 0.99

00:34:15.460 So the human race

00:34:16.300 is not long for this world

00:34:17.200 and basically this guy

00:34:18.420 is the cause of it.

00:34:19.280 But nevertheless,

00:34:20.240 he's a conservative.

00:34:21.720 He's a Trump supporter.

00:34:22.780 His name is Palmer Lucky.

00:34:24.220 He donated $10,000

00:34:26.360 to an anti-Hillary Clinton

00:34:28.600 organization

00:34:29.360 during the 2016 election.

00:34:31.680 This became public.

00:34:32.760 This became a huge deal

00:34:33.920 at Facebook.

00:34:34.920 Six months later,

00:34:35.660 he was out of the company.

00:34:37.080 This is the co-founder

00:34:37.800 of Oculus,

00:34:38.680 purchased by Facebook,

00:34:40.260 major guy,

00:34:41.320 rising star in Silicon Valley.

00:34:42.860 He was out after six months

00:34:44.220 after this came out.

00:34:48.820 Around the time

00:34:49.740 of his firing, rather,

00:34:51.320 Mark Zuckerberg

00:34:52.220 had to testify about this

00:34:53.720 and just watch

00:34:55.360 how masterfully

00:34:56.420 Ted Cruz pulls

00:34:57.940 what now seems to be

00:34:58.900 a lie out of Mark Zuckerberg.

00:35:00.380 Do you know

00:35:00.720 the political orientation

00:35:02.480 of those 15,000 to 20,000

00:35:04.160 people engaged

00:35:04.900 in content review?

00:35:07.100 No, Senator.

00:35:07.860 We do not generally

00:35:08.800 ask people

00:35:09.500 about their political orientation

00:35:10.880 when they're joining

00:35:11.580 the company.

00:35:12.300 So as CEO,

00:35:13.240 have you ever made

00:35:13.940 hiring or firing decisions

00:35:15.300 based on political positions

00:35:16.840 or what candidates

00:35:17.560 they supported?

00:35:18.500 No.

00:35:20.120 Why was Palmer Lucky fired?

00:35:23.180 That is a specific

00:35:24.440 personnel matter

00:35:25.300 that seems like

00:35:26.140 it would be inappropriate

00:35:26.880 to speak to you here.

00:35:27.160 You just made a specific

00:35:28.080 representation

00:35:28.700 that you didn't make

00:35:29.580 decisions based on

00:35:30.400 political views.

00:35:31.040 Well, I can commit

00:35:32.360 that it was not

00:35:33.280 because of a political view.

00:35:36.160 What a master.

00:35:37.440 Some people forget

00:35:38.260 because Cruz is

00:35:39.160 an elected official now.

00:35:41.100 They forget that he's

00:35:42.220 unbelievably intelligent,

00:35:43.920 that he is wickedly smart,

00:35:46.220 one of the great lawyers

00:35:47.380 of our age.

00:35:48.340 And you see what he did there.

00:35:49.660 He was talking about

00:35:50.480 the news curators

00:35:51.700 on Facebook,

00:35:52.920 the ones who were

00:35:53.440 boosting left-wing causes

00:35:54.940 and deleting right-wing causes.

00:35:57.740 And this became

00:35:58.460 a little bit of a scandal.

00:35:59.780 So he gets in there

00:36:01.060 and he's got Zuckerberg

00:36:02.460 going down that train

00:36:03.540 and he says,

00:36:04.060 do you know what

00:36:05.400 the political views

00:36:06.140 are of those people?

00:36:07.080 So Zuckerberg thinks

00:36:08.240 that he's going down

00:36:08.980 and he says,

00:36:09.480 absolutely not.

00:36:10.540 I never ask people

00:36:11.360 their political views.

00:36:12.680 He goes, okay.

00:36:13.500 So as CEO,

00:36:14.400 you've never made

00:36:15.160 a hiring or firing decision

00:36:16.260 based on that?

00:36:17.760 Zuckerberg at this point

00:36:18.680 has to know

00:36:19.260 that something's up

00:36:20.000 because he's just got diverted.

00:36:21.680 And he says,

00:36:22.080 well, no, I haven't

00:36:23.100 because of what

00:36:23.560 I just said before.

00:36:24.340 It's like, right,

00:36:25.000 then how come you fired

00:36:25.800 that guy for being

00:36:26.340 a Trump supporter?

00:36:27.420 And it was just

00:36:28.100 this beautiful knockout punch.

00:36:30.100 At the time,

00:36:31.000 I remember watching him

00:36:31.940 thinking,

00:36:32.280 who is Palmer Lockie?

00:36:33.600 What is Cruz doing?

00:36:35.060 What does this matter?

00:36:36.240 Because it didn't matter then.

00:36:37.520 It matters now

00:36:38.320 that we have it on tape.

00:36:39.740 This guy,

00:36:40.420 Mark Zuckerberg,

00:36:41.320 lying through his teeth.

00:36:42.900 So he says,

00:36:44.020 well, I won't comment

00:36:46.100 on a personnel matter.

00:36:48.160 I won't make a specific

00:36:48.960 statement on a personnel matter.

00:36:50.460 And then Cruz

00:36:51.320 just comes and clobbers him, 0.99

00:36:52.520 kicks him while he's 0.99

00:36:53.080 down.

00:36:53.600 He says,

00:36:54.760 you just made a specific

00:36:55.820 comment on a personnel matter.

00:36:57.320 You just made a very

00:36:58.200 specific statement.

00:36:59.520 He says,

00:36:59.780 okay, well,

00:37:00.400 I commit.

00:37:01.740 What bizarre language

00:37:03.280 from Mark Zuckerberg.

00:37:04.460 I commit

00:37:05.260 that I didn't fire

00:37:07.240 this guy,

00:37:08.900 Palmer Lockie,

00:37:09.520 because of his politics.

00:37:10.880 I commit.

00:37:11.620 Are you stating it?

00:37:12.720 Are you swearing it?

00:37:13.620 Are you saying it?

00:37:14.780 Are you admitting it?

00:37:15.940 Are you conceding?

00:37:16.880 You commit?

00:37:18.640 When do you commit

00:37:19.420 a statement?

00:37:21.100 I don't,

00:37:22.140 is obviously

00:37:22.880 Weasley language

00:37:23.800 because Zuckerberg

00:37:24.780 knew that he got caught.

00:37:26.000 So,

00:37:26.280 and he's being caught now

00:37:27.180 by the Wall Street Journal.

00:37:28.200 Internal emails

00:37:29.100 have shown

00:37:30.140 that the upper echelons

00:37:32.200 of Facebook,

00:37:32.940 including Mark Zuckerberg,

00:37:34.480 were talking about

00:37:35.380 Palmer Lockie's

00:37:36.160 political donation.

00:37:37.620 They were terrified of it.

00:37:38.840 They were angry about it.

00:37:40.300 And they tried to,

00:37:41.140 they pressured him

00:37:41.840 to change his

00:37:42.640 public views.

00:37:43.560 and then they fired him.

00:37:45.940 They've got,

00:37:46.700 there was one woman,

00:37:47.940 the engineering director,

00:37:49.480 Srinivas Narayanan,

00:37:51.940 said,

00:37:52.480 quote,

00:37:53.340 this was in

00:37:54.200 one of these emails,

00:37:55.400 multiple women 0.99

00:37:56.300 have literally

00:37:57.360 teared up

00:37:58.200 in front of me

00:37:59.020 in the last few days

00:38:00.520 after Palmer Lockie

00:38:02.280 donated money

00:38:02.980 to an anti-Hillary group.

00:38:05.180 Well,

00:38:05.900 well,

00:38:06.220 if,

00:38:06.900 well,

00:38:07.160 if multiple women 1.00

00:38:07.960 have literally

00:38:08.680 teared up

00:38:09.220 in front of you,

00:38:09.800 then I guess 0.89

00:38:10.420 we should fire

00:38:10.960 the inventor of Oculus

00:38:11.880 for his political views

00:38:14.040 because,

00:38:14.540 oh,

00:38:14.780 because,

00:38:15.540 no,

00:38:15.840 I know,

00:38:16.280 you think

00:38:17.120 he has

00:38:18.160 the right

00:38:19.080 to his own

00:38:19.420 political opinions

00:38:20.140 and he shouldn't

00:38:20.560 be fired for them

00:38:21.360 and he has freedom

00:38:22.160 of speech

00:38:22.580 and he can donate

00:38:23.080 to whatever candidates

00:38:23.760 he wants.

00:38:24.320 No,

00:38:24.580 no,

00:38:24.760 no.

00:38:25.720 Because multiple

00:38:26.700 women 1.00

00:38:27.480 literally

00:38:28.380 teared up

00:38:29.360 in front of

00:38:30.060 Srinivas Narayanan

00:38:32.200 so he should be

00:38:33.040 deprived of his

00:38:33.840 essential rights

00:38:34.860 as a citizen

00:38:35.620 in the United States.

00:38:36.700 That's the kind

00:38:37.300 of logic

00:38:37.700 going on at Facebook

00:38:38.420 right now.

00:38:39.320 And then,

00:38:39.800 afterward,

00:38:40.660 Mark Zuckerberg

00:38:41.320 pressured

00:38:41.780 Lucky Palmer

00:38:42.760 to endorse

00:38:43.840 Gary Johnson.

00:38:46.280 Why I have no,

00:38:47.240 I mean,

00:38:47.540 what person on earth

00:38:49.540 I couldn't tell you.

00:38:50.700 But the trouble is

00:38:51.880 Lucky Palmer

00:38:52.380 loved Donald Trump.

00:38:53.440 He was a long-time

00:38:54.120 supporter of Donald Trump.

00:38:55.480 Supported for years.

00:38:56.340 Loved the art of the deal.

00:38:57.380 He's one of the few people

00:38:58.120 that's ever read

00:38:58.640 the art of the deal.

00:38:59.580 He said it inspired him

00:39:00.580 to become an entrepreneur.

00:39:02.020 So he just loved this guy

00:39:03.320 and he was forced

00:39:04.440 essentially to disavow him

00:39:06.360 by his employer

00:39:07.120 under threat of being fired.

00:39:08.360 He got fired anyway.

00:39:09.520 That's the kind of abuse

00:39:10.500 that's going on

00:39:11.220 of conservatives

00:39:12.860 at companies

00:39:14.140 around this country.

00:39:15.600 And it's now infecting

00:39:17.540 not just these top CEOs,

00:39:19.220 it's affecting other executives.

00:39:20.900 It's not just affecting

00:39:21.960 politicians

00:39:22.540 at their homes,

00:39:23.780 at restaurants.

00:39:24.480 It's also affecting

00:39:25.360 commentators,

00:39:26.140 writers,

00:39:26.700 talking heads.

00:39:27.680 There's that great girl,

00:39:28.440 Kat Timpf,

00:39:29.420 who's at National Review,

00:39:30.720 I think,

00:39:31.160 and Fox News as well.

00:39:32.860 She was just run out,

00:39:34.680 berated at a Brooklyn bar.

00:39:36.320 Some woman was threatening her 1.00

00:39:38.060 at a Brooklyn bar

00:39:39.280 over the weekend.

00:39:40.640 Why Kat Timpf would ever 0.97

00:39:42.220 degrade herself

00:39:43.200 to go to a bar in Brooklyn,

00:39:44.240 I have no idea,

00:39:44.900 but she decided to do that

00:39:46.080 for some reason.

00:39:47.400 And so she ended up

00:39:49.360 getting chased out of the bar

00:39:50.320 for fear of a confrontation.

00:39:51.440 Here's Kat Timpf.

00:39:52.820 I was reminded, though,

00:39:53.860 despite the progress

00:39:55.200 that seemed to be made

00:39:56.460 on a very popular

00:39:58.060 late-night comedy show,

00:39:59.900 the fact of the matter is

00:40:00.840 divisions are still real.

00:40:02.340 You experienced it yourself,

00:40:03.620 right?

00:40:03.800 Yeah, over the weekend,

00:40:05.340 I was at a bar,

00:40:06.740 and a girl started,

00:40:08.180 she realized I worked

00:40:09.020 at Fox News,

00:40:09.600 started screaming at me,

00:40:10.440 telling me to get out.

00:40:11.160 I tried to move

00:40:11.760 to a different area of the bar.

00:40:12.960 She kept screaming at me, 0.90

00:40:13.820 telling me to get out.

00:40:14.820 Kept trying to say,

00:40:15.640 like, what did I say

00:40:17.680 that you had a problem with?

00:40:19.080 Or maybe I thought

00:40:19.860 it was one of my views

00:40:20.620 that was so offensive.

00:40:21.420 She said it doesn't matter.

00:40:22.260 I don't think she knew

00:40:22.960 a single thing

00:40:23.560 that I ever said on TV.

00:40:24.580 She just knew where I worked.

00:40:25.840 And that was enough for me

00:40:26.800 to be run out of the bar.

00:40:28.200 Really?

00:40:28.720 Did you walk out yourself

00:40:30.240 rather than just keep it going?

00:40:31.700 Or what happened?

00:40:32.460 I was afraid she was going to hit me 1.00

00:40:33.720 or throw a drink at me.

00:40:34.700 She was super belligerent. 0.98

00:40:35.720 Like I said,

00:40:36.120 I tried to move

00:40:36.700 to a different area of the bar,

00:40:38.060 but the yelling continued.

00:40:39.720 So I didn't really see it

00:40:40.860 as I had a choice.

00:40:42.520 Man, oh man.

00:40:43.120 Sorry to hear that, Kat.

00:40:44.480 I have left bars in Brooklyn

00:40:45.900 for far less than that,

00:40:47.180 so I can sympathize.

00:40:48.400 But, you know,

00:40:48.800 this is a relatively petite young woman 0.92

00:40:52.160 who's getting screamed at

00:40:53.440 by some belligerent woman 1.00

00:40:55.560 who has guys standing around her 0.99

00:40:57.600 and the guys won't step in.

00:40:59.720 The guys won't step in

00:41:01.120 to protect this girl who's scared,

00:41:03.440 which is awful in and of itself.

00:41:05.880 We'll be talking about that tonight

00:41:07.040 in our talk on manliness and feminism

00:41:08.880 at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

00:41:11.860 But the scary thing for us

00:41:14.440 is that now this has gone down

00:41:16.820 to the commentators

00:41:17.640 and the talking heads.

00:41:18.540 It's not just Kat Temp.

00:41:19.820 It happened to Brian Kilmeade.

00:41:21.200 It's happened to Candace Owens.

00:41:22.300 It's happened to Charlie Kirk.

00:41:23.640 Obviously, it's happened

00:41:24.380 to Tucker Carlson on multiple occasions.

00:41:27.200 His daughter has been screamed at,

00:41:28.880 had horrible things said

00:41:30.080 to her about her father.

00:41:32.180 Someone tried to kick in

00:41:33.160 and invade Tucker Carlson's house,

00:41:34.920 kicked in his door.

00:41:36.020 His wife had to hide in a closet 1.00

00:41:37.520 because she was so afraid

00:41:38.660 of the invaders.

00:41:40.800 This is really bad news

00:41:42.320 because what do commentators

00:41:44.340 and writers and pundits,

00:41:47.360 what do they do?

00:41:48.500 They use their language

00:41:49.940 to convey some thought about politics.

00:41:53.200 Their job is free speech.

00:41:56.060 The medium of their job

00:41:57.320 is free speech.

00:41:58.520 And this is what the left

00:42:00.160 is so horrified by.

00:42:02.520 It's what they're so,

00:42:03.660 so terrified of

00:42:04.980 is free speech.

00:42:07.260 That's why they kick conservatives

00:42:08.360 off of campuses

00:42:09.080 when they get invited there.

00:42:10.280 It's why they deny

00:42:10.980 conservative professors tenure

00:42:12.380 when they can.

00:42:13.300 It's why they try to always boycott

00:42:14.980 and get right-wingers

00:42:16.480 kicked off of television

00:42:17.500 or off of radio.

00:42:18.420 How many boycotts have there been

00:42:19.840 against Rush Limbaugh?

00:42:21.180 Media Matters basically exists

00:42:23.220 to shut down Rush Limbaugh.

00:42:25.200 What are they so afraid of?

00:42:26.560 Why are they so afraid

00:42:27.600 of free speech?

00:42:29.300 How many times did those kids

00:42:30.700 from Broward County, Florida,

00:42:32.880 David Hogg and them,

00:42:33.860 try to get Laura Ingram

00:42:34.960 kicked off of television?

00:42:36.160 For what?

00:42:37.140 Why?

00:42:37.500 What are you so afraid of?

00:42:38.420 They're not watching the show.

00:42:40.380 The kids aren't.

00:42:41.220 Why are you so afraid

00:42:42.260 that Laura Ingram gets to say

00:42:43.580 what she thinks about the world?

00:42:45.220 They're very afraid

00:42:46.520 because they know

00:42:48.080 that they will lose

00:42:48.880 in the battle of ideas.

00:42:49.880 They don't have an argument.

00:42:51.920 They don't even have

00:42:53.380 the beginning of an argument.

00:42:54.380 They don't have the questions

00:42:55.240 that you have to ask

00:42:56.540 to begin to formulate an argument.

00:42:59.180 All they have is passion.

00:43:01.060 Angry, passion, emotive,

00:43:03.460 personal politics. 0.98

00:43:05.060 The other guy's a racist, 1.00

00:43:06.880 a bigot, sexist, evil. 1.00

00:43:09.120 I hate him. 1.00

00:43:10.400 That's all that they've got

00:43:11.540 going for them right now.

00:43:13.140 And so they have to cut down

00:43:14.120 free speech.

00:43:14.660 But it's really scary.

00:43:15.480 Not just for Brian Kilmeade

00:43:18.040 or Charlie Kirk.

00:43:19.080 They can take care of themselves.

00:43:20.840 But because of what it says

00:43:22.080 about the left's approach

00:43:23.240 to discourse in this country.

00:43:25.500 Political violence of all kinds

00:43:26.940 is basically unfathomably bad.

00:43:31.100 But one can imagine

00:43:32.480 why a person would be angry

00:43:37.340 and assail and assault

00:43:38.920 a politician who is actually

00:43:41.000 making laws,

00:43:41.740 who is actually governing the country.

00:43:43.360 I can wrap my head around that.

00:43:45.360 What I can't wrap my head around

00:43:47.060 is why you,

00:43:48.500 rather than refuting

00:43:49.440 what somebody has to say,

00:43:51.400 would go out there

00:43:52.520 and shut them up 0.95

00:43:53.480 and silence them 1.00

00:43:54.320 and attack them. 0.73

00:43:55.860 It's because you have nothing

00:43:58.280 that you can say

00:43:59.660 to refute in the first place.

00:44:01.200 If you do have something

00:44:01.980 to refute those things

00:44:03.160 that I'm saying,

00:44:03.700 stop by the University

00:44:04.540 of Wisconsin-Whitewater tonight

00:44:05.720 and we can talk about it

00:44:07.080 and then I'll be back

00:44:07.600 at Michigan State

00:44:08.400 tomorrow night.
