The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 269 - All I Want For Christmas Is $5 Billion

00:00:00.000 Movie starting, kiddo.

00:00:01.200 Streaming service, $20.

00:00:03.120 But mom, popcorn.

00:00:04.860 Grocery bill, $120.

00:00:07.480 Sorry, your account has insufficient funds.

00:00:10.400 Farber Debt Solutions, licensed insolvency trustees.

00:00:13.700 Get the truth about debt.

00:00:15.240 Nancy, baby, slip $5 billion under the tree for me. 1.00

00:00:22.000 Nancy, I've been an awfully good boy.

00:00:25.260 Nancy, baby, or we're gonna shut down the government tonight. 1.00

00:00:29.340 And we absolutely should.

00:00:30.660 We will analyze the stakes of the impending

00:00:32.680 government Christmas shutdown.

00:00:35.000 Then, speaking of shutdowns,

00:00:36.500 the Trump Foundation dissolves amid accusations

00:00:38.860 of improperly spending funds.

00:00:41.560 An 11-year-old boy dances in drag for dollar bills

00:00:44.280 at a gay bar in Brooklyn.

00:00:45.480 What else is new?

00:00:46.400 A woman almost becomes Miss Universe.

00:00:49.060 I'm sorry, a man almost becomes Miss Universe. 0.95

00:00:50.960 I know that's confusing.

00:00:52.060 And the New York Times calls for the extinction

00:00:54.000 of the human race.

00:00:55.120 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:59.340 Talk about a confusing day of news.

00:01:05.980 We've got so much to get to in the week before Christmas.

00:01:11.840 There is nothing better about the holiday season

00:01:19.600 Bill, you didn't see that one coming.

00:02:31.040 All I want for Christmas is $5 billion and a wall.

00:02:35.820 Is that so much to ask?

00:02:37.380 Is that so much to ask for?

00:02:39.040 Christmas is right around the corner.

00:02:40.340 I've been an awfully good boy, Santa baby.

00:02:42.380 We're looking at a very real possibility

00:02:45.020 of a government shutdown.

00:02:47.600 This is interesting timing for a shutdown.

00:02:50.120 Because everyone is tuned out of the news.

00:02:52.140 Christmas is around the corner.

00:02:53.140 New Year's is around the corner.

00:02:54.320 People aren't doing work.

00:02:55.660 Half of our staff is probably on a beach in Boca right now.

00:02:58.580 And so, you know, this timing isn't the best time

00:03:03.180 to draw attention to the stakes of a shutdown.

00:03:06.540 But it might be the best time to shut it down

00:03:08.480 because people won't really care.

00:03:10.380 You won't catch a lot of political flack.

00:03:12.100 And President Trump might be able to get his wall.

00:03:14.780 That's what this is all about.

00:03:16.960 There have been two distinct responses

00:03:19.260 from the White House about this.

00:03:20.880 As always, you know, the White House

00:03:22.460 is sending different people out on TV.

00:03:24.680 And they have very different tactics on the shutdown.

00:03:28.820 You remember President Trump was arguing

00:03:30.300 with Chuck and Nancy on the best reality television show

00:03:33.480 in the world.

00:03:34.140 And he said to Chuck Schumer,

00:03:36.880 I'll own it.

00:03:37.800 I'll take responsibility for the shutdown.

00:03:39.980 I will shut down the government to protect our border.

00:03:42.840 And Democrats were thrilled because they got Trump to say

00:03:45.280 that he was going to shut down the government.

00:03:47.040 The question is, do you take responsibility for it?

00:03:49.100 Or do you try to say that it's really the Democrats' fault

00:03:51.780 and really the Democrats are shutting down the government?

00:03:54.640 Stephen Miller clearly favors the former approach.

00:03:58.100 Here he is on Face the Nation.

00:03:59.720 I'm going to get to this question of the border wall,

00:04:01.280 which I know you're a huge advocate for.

00:04:03.440 We are about five days from potential government shutdown.

00:04:06.560 And Republican leadership says there's no plan.

00:04:08.780 What is the president's plan?

00:04:10.080 And will he shut it down to get this $5 billion in border wall funding?

00:04:13.680 We're going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall

00:04:16.760 to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration.

00:04:19.920 And that means to shut down?

00:04:20.720 This is a very, if it comes to it, absolutely.

00:04:23.300 This is a very fundamental issue.

00:04:25.000 At stake is the question of whether or not the United States

00:04:27.380 remains a sovereign country.

00:04:28.980 Whether or not we can establish and enforce rules

00:04:30.660 for entrance into our country.

00:04:32.080 The Democrat Party is a simple choice.

00:04:34.580 They can either choose to fight for America's working class

00:04:37.280 or to promote illegal immigration.

00:04:38.800 You can't do both.

00:04:41.700 Totally comes out swinging this guy,

00:04:44.180 one of the best people in the administration.

00:04:46.380 And he's coming out and saying,

00:04:47.600 yep, we'll shut it down.

00:04:48.840 We own it.

00:04:49.460 That's what's going to happen

00:04:50.300 because we want to protect the border.

00:04:52.980 Now, here is White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders

00:04:56.200 giving the opposite approach.

00:04:59.080 The president wants $5 billion.

00:05:00.540 Would he take $2.5 billion?

00:05:02.640 Would that be an acceptable number?

00:05:03.980 We would take,

00:05:05.900 we have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion

00:05:08.920 that we will work with Congress

00:05:11.460 if they will make sure that we get a bill passed

00:05:13.900 that provides not just the funding for the wall,

00:05:16.380 but there's a piece of legislation

00:05:18.280 that's been pushed around

00:05:19.940 that Democrats actually voted 26 to 5 out of committee

00:05:24.500 that provides 26,

00:05:26.640 roughly $26 billion in border security,

00:05:29.300 including $1.6 billion for the wall.

00:05:31.540 Now, that's something that we would be able to support

00:05:34.980 as long as we can couple that

00:05:36.360 with other funding resources

00:05:37.800 that would help us get to the $5 billion.

00:05:40.320 So you see there when Stephen Miller is on the show,

00:05:42.820 he says, I'm not going to negotiate.

00:05:44.700 I'm not going to try to figure out

00:05:46.460 this negotiation on live television.

00:05:48.980 We're going to get the money

00:05:50.020 or we're shutting down the government.

00:05:51.440 Sarah Sanders goes on TV and says,

00:05:52.940 well, you know, there are other ways

00:05:55.000 to get the money for the wall.

00:05:56.520 And well, maybe we don't need

00:05:58.080 to shut down the government.

00:05:59.360 Well, I'm not so sure.

00:06:00.480 We'll see what happens.

00:06:01.540 And then Kellyanne Conway,

00:06:02.960 a senior advisor to the president,

00:06:04.520 gives the clearest version of this,

00:06:08.060 which is she says,

00:06:08.900 we do not want to shut down

00:06:10.380 the government on Lou Dobbs.

00:06:12.260 Well, with the ultimate dealmaker

00:06:13.460 in the Oval Office, Lou,

00:06:14.920 I believe that there is a much better chance

00:06:16.980 of getting a deal than not.

00:06:18.100 But look, the president wants

00:06:19.040 to keep the government open.

00:06:20.720 He just doesn't want the borders

00:06:21.680 to remain open the way they are.

00:06:23.560 He wants there to be full funding

00:06:26.220 for the government,

00:06:26.760 but that funding must include

00:06:28.480 adequate funding for border security.

00:06:30.180 I don't know if he can be

00:06:31.240 any more clear on this issue.

00:06:33.100 And I don't know if we can see

00:06:34.380 any more excerpts from Democrats

00:06:35.800 in the past who voted

00:06:37.240 for Secure Fences Act in 2006,

00:06:39.420 including Hillary Clinton, 1.00

00:06:40.440 Barack Obama, Joe Biden,

00:06:42.320 Chuck Schumer,

00:06:42.960 and the whole lot of them.

00:06:44.100 You mentioned that.

00:06:44.660 And then, of course,

00:06:45.080 you've seen all the video clips

00:06:46.160 of them supporting borders

00:06:48.060 and security before.

00:06:49.560 So they need to come up

00:06:50.480 and vote. 0.61

00:06:51.360 The president doesn't want

00:06:53.320 to shut down the government.

00:06:54.980 He couldn't be more clear.

00:06:56.180 Now, of course,

00:06:56.620 the president did say,

00:06:57.560 I will own the government shutdown.

00:06:58.820 I will shut down the government.

00:07:00.040 He said it in the Oval Office.

00:07:01.540 Stephen Miller said

00:07:02.280 just about the same thing.

00:07:03.340 But what Sarah Sanders

00:07:04.780 and Kellyanne Conway are doing

00:07:06.100 is taking the much more

00:07:07.360 traditional approach,

00:07:08.600 which has been the longstanding

00:07:10.520 conventional wisdom,

00:07:11.400 which is you don't want

00:07:12.820 to bear responsibility

00:07:14.260 for a government shutdown.

00:07:16.020 Voters will punish you for that.

00:07:17.340 It won't do you well

00:07:18.740 at the ballot box

00:07:19.460 in the next elections.

00:07:20.400 What President Trump

00:07:21.660 and Stephen Miller are doing

00:07:22.860 is taking the new Trumpian,

00:07:25.340 more assertive,

00:07:26.440 more masculine approach,

00:07:27.740 which is,

00:07:28.360 yup, you're darn tootin'

00:07:30.120 that we're going to shut down

00:07:30.880 the government

00:07:31.320 and we're going to do it

00:07:32.940 for a good reason

00:07:33.640 and you should be thrilled

00:07:34.660 that we're going to do it.

00:07:35.940 I favor that approach.

00:07:37.740 I think that is the right approach.

00:07:38.980 I think the conventional wisdom

00:07:40.180 is wrong.

00:07:41.460 I think people,

00:07:42.360 especially in this political moment,

00:07:44.260 don't want to hear

00:07:45.320 mealy-mouthed people,

00:07:46.640 don't want to hear about

00:07:47.700 how we want to have conciliation

00:07:49.420 with Democrats

00:07:50.480 who are advocating

00:07:51.220 for open borders.

00:07:52.100 We really want to keep

00:07:53.360 the government open.

00:07:54.280 Shut it down.

00:07:54.800 Who cares?

00:07:55.700 Most of the government

00:07:56.440 is already funded.

00:07:57.680 People are forgetting

00:07:58.260 this isn't a total

00:07:59.220 government shutdown.

00:08:00.560 Most of the government

00:08:01.340 is funded.

00:08:02.100 There are a few departments,

00:08:04.000 Department of Homeland Security,

00:08:05.540 Justice,

00:08:06.140 I think State Department

00:08:06.820 still needs some funding,

00:08:08.060 so those areas

00:08:09.460 may have a partial shutdown.

00:08:10.960 Okay, fine.

00:08:12.020 Who cares?

00:08:13.360 So what?

00:08:13.880 Essential employees

00:08:14.680 will remain on the dole.

00:08:16.360 They will remain on the job.

00:08:18.380 They will keep working.

00:08:19.540 And non-essential employees

00:08:21.000 won't be working for now.

00:08:22.620 They'll ultimately be backpaid.

00:08:24.720 And we can make a point

00:08:26.140 to get the wall.

00:08:27.680 I mean,

00:08:27.840 this is a big winning issue.

00:08:30.220 The reason I favor this Trump

00:08:31.940 and Stephen Miller approach,

00:08:34.680 one is I don't think voters

00:08:36.160 actually punish politicians

00:08:37.920 for shutting down the government.

00:08:39.240 We had a big government shutdown

00:08:40.480 in 2013,

00:08:41.340 and then Republicans

00:08:42.300 took the Senate in 2014.

00:08:44.260 They blamed the Republicans

00:08:45.640 in 2013.

00:08:46.320 A year later,

00:08:46.820 they win the Senate.

00:08:48.040 I don't see evidence of that

00:08:50.100 throughout recent history,

00:08:51.920 but this is the approach

00:08:53.940 that Ronald Reagan took.

00:08:55.060 There was a famous moment

00:08:56.320 during the Reagan presidency

00:08:57.820 where the air traffic controllers,

00:08:59.840 federal workers,

00:09:01.020 decided that they were

00:09:01.800 going to go on strike.

00:09:02.860 And this was illegal.

00:09:03.840 It was illegal for these guys

00:09:05.020 to go on strike.

00:09:06.060 It disrupted the nation's airways.

00:09:08.440 It disrupted a lot of travel.

00:09:10.160 And they're federal employees.

00:09:11.380 They're not allowed to do that.

00:09:12.320 They went on strike anyway

00:09:14.040 after a long time negotiating

00:09:15.700 with the government.

00:09:16.500 Everyone thought Reagan

00:09:17.400 was going to cave.

00:09:18.480 Well, you know, Nancy,

00:09:19.560 we want to keep everybody

00:09:20.640 on the job,

00:09:21.460 but well, well, you know,

00:09:22.680 he didn't do that at all.

00:09:24.100 Ronald Reagan stood firm.

00:09:25.460 He gave exactly the same approach

00:09:26.900 to great effect.

00:09:29.100 It is for this reason

00:09:30.340 that I must tell those

00:09:32.100 who fail to report for duty

00:09:33.460 this morning,

00:09:35.040 they are in violation of the law.

00:09:37.660 And if they do not report

00:09:39.200 for work within 48 hours,

00:09:40.920 they have forfeited their jobs

00:09:43.040 and will be terminated.

00:09:44.880 Why not some lesser action?

00:09:50.620 What lesser action can there be?

00:09:53.360 The law is very explicit.

00:09:56.000 They are violating the law.

00:09:58.780 And as I say,

00:10:00.020 we call this to the attention

00:10:01.820 of their leadership,

00:10:02.760 whether this was conveyed

00:10:03.780 to the membership

00:10:04.380 before they voted to strike,

00:10:05.780 I don't know.

00:10:07.340 But this is one of the reasons

00:10:08.980 why there could be

00:10:09.540 no further negotiation

00:10:10.720 while this situation continues.

00:10:14.720 Classic Reagan.

00:10:15.580 And this is where

00:10:16.020 that great acting training

00:10:17.400 that Reagan had came into play,

00:10:19.060 where the reporter says,

00:10:20.120 isn't there some lesser action

00:10:21.200 you can undertake?

00:10:22.700 What lesser action can there be?

00:10:25.120 They violated the law.

00:10:26.340 And he was absolutely right.

00:10:27.520 They're violating the law.

00:10:28.660 They forfeit their jobs.

00:10:30.120 They will be terminated.

00:10:31.260 That was the right approach.

00:10:32.360 It broke that union

00:10:33.360 as it should have.

00:10:34.280 It certainly should have

00:10:35.240 broken the federal union.

00:10:36.540 He stood firm and he won.

00:10:37.680 This is a winning issue

00:10:38.760 for Republicans.

00:10:39.840 CBS poll shows 51% of Americans,

00:10:42.040 the majority of Americans,

00:10:43.100 want a border wall.

00:10:45.020 Think about that.

00:10:45.920 They mocked us for years

00:10:47.100 about the border wall on the left.

00:10:48.720 The majority of Americans,

00:10:49.860 according to CBS, want it.

00:10:51.280 54%, according to a Harris poll,

00:10:53.560 a Harvard poll rather,

00:10:55.220 want an electronic

00:10:56.300 and a physical structure,

00:10:57.700 which is to say a wall.

00:10:59.520 There was this terrible story

00:11:00.840 over the weekend

00:11:01.640 of this seven-year-old Guatemalan girl,

00:11:04.700 seven-year-old Guatemalan girl

00:11:06.160 crossing the border illegally

00:11:07.220 with her father.

00:11:08.020 She's apprehended.

00:11:09.120 She dies in custody.

00:11:10.980 And immediately,

00:11:11.920 the left blamed Border Patrol

00:11:13.900 for this, blamed Republicans.

00:11:15.280 There's, of course,

00:11:15.840 no evidence for that.

00:11:16.840 This poor girl's name 1.00

00:11:17.560 was Jacqueline Kahl-Makine.

00:11:19.780 She and her father

00:11:20.380 were arrested.

00:11:21.420 She started vomiting

00:11:22.500 pretty quickly.

00:11:23.560 She was immediately airlifted

00:11:25.620 by the United States government

00:11:26.960 to a hospital

00:11:27.700 in El Paso, Texas.

00:11:29.100 She had 105.9 degree temperature 0.98

00:11:31.220 when she got to the station.

00:11:32.680 The agents revived

00:11:34.060 the child twice.

00:11:35.400 They initially thought

00:11:36.000 dehydration.

00:11:36.700 Now, it looks like

00:11:37.160 it was sepsis that did it.

00:11:39.220 The girl's father said

00:11:40.140 that border agents

00:11:40.780 did everything that they could.

00:11:42.520 It's not that he didn't

00:11:43.440 feed her for days.

00:11:44.280 It's that she couldn't eat food.

00:11:46.280 She couldn't drink.

00:11:47.000 She couldn't eat food.

00:11:48.040 They did everything

00:11:48.620 they could to revive her,

00:11:49.600 but she died anyway.

00:11:50.860 What did she die from?

00:11:51.900 She died from illegal immigration.

00:11:53.500 That's what she did.

00:11:54.200 This is the cause.

00:11:55.220 This is the effect

00:11:56.100 of illegal immigration

00:11:56.960 as this seven-year-old girl dies.

00:11:58.580 This is the effect

00:11:59.400 of creating

00:12:00.360 an incentive structure

00:12:01.700 that gets people

00:12:02.800 who are desperate

00:12:03.540 to cross the border illegally,

00:12:05.380 put their whole families

00:12:06.240 at great risk,

00:12:07.380 and die despite

00:12:08.220 all the best medical care

00:12:09.400 in the world,

00:12:09.900 immediate medical care

00:12:10.880 provided by the federal government.

00:12:12.920 We know the Fusion 1.00

00:12:13.740 and Amnesty International studies

00:12:15.340 show 60 to 80 percent

00:12:16.740 of young women and girls

00:12:18.000 who cross the border illegally

00:12:19.280 are sexually assaulted

00:12:20.480 or raped.

00:12:21.300 That is the moral argument

00:12:22.480 against illegal immigration,

00:12:24.060 and it's the people

00:12:25.020 who are incentivizing

00:12:26.100 this awful system

00:12:27.060 that have to take responsibility

00:12:28.480 for this strategy,

00:12:29.520 not the American government.

00:12:31.340 We've got a lot more

00:12:32.680 to talk about,

00:12:33.340 but first,

00:12:34.260 we've got to make

00:12:34.780 a little bit more money

00:12:35.460 with Robinhood.

00:12:36.500 Robinhood is an investing app

00:12:38.220 that lets you buy

00:12:39.040 and sell stocks,

00:12:39.820 ETFs, options,

00:12:40.900 and cryptos

00:12:41.560 all commission-free.

00:12:43.580 This is a wonderful sponsor.

00:12:45.460 I love these guys.

00:12:46.220 It's simple and intuitive,

00:12:47.780 clear design

00:12:48.500 with data presented

00:12:49.640 in an easy-to-digest way.

00:12:52.500 I like this.

00:12:53.220 I am financially

00:12:54.240 mostly illiterate,

00:12:55.620 and what's great

00:12:56.460 about Robinhood

00:12:57.440 is you open up the app

00:12:58.800 and it asks you

00:12:59.520 all of these pertinent questions

00:13:00.780 about what you want,

00:13:02.540 what you're getting,

00:13:03.000 who you are,

00:13:03.500 what your age is,

00:13:04.060 this, that,

00:13:04.400 and the other thing,

00:13:05.160 and it will really shape

00:13:07.460 how you invest

00:13:08.600 in your financial strategy.

00:13:09.720 It's really good.

00:13:10.380 No commission fees.

00:13:13.000 Other brokerages charge

00:13:14.000 up to $10 for every trade.

00:13:15.500 Robinhood doesn't charge

00:13:16.460 commission fees.

00:13:17.360 You can trade stocks

00:13:18.020 and keep all of your profits.

00:13:19.780 It is easy to understand.

00:13:21.380 There are charts

00:13:21.880 and market data.

00:13:23.400 You can place a trade

00:13:24.180 in just four taps

00:13:25.140 on your smartphone.

00:13:26.320 This is very important.

00:13:27.420 You know,

00:13:27.660 like you think of

00:13:28.180 the old-timey guys,

00:13:28.980 like,

00:13:29.100 buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell,

00:13:30.080 you just go tap, tap, tap,

00:13:30.960 tap, tap, tap.

00:13:31.680 It's really nice.

00:13:32.680 It really lets you channel

00:13:33.400 your old-timey stock trader.

00:13:35.240 And you can learn by doing.

00:13:36.260 You learn how to invest

00:13:36.960 as you build your portfolio.

00:13:37.920 This is my favorite part

00:13:38.900 of Robinhood

00:13:39.360 is it actually teaches me

00:13:40.740 how to invest

00:13:41.500 just by the fact of doing it

00:13:43.240 by leading me along.

00:13:44.540 Robinhood is giving listeners

00:13:45.420 a free stock

00:13:46.120 like Apple, Ford, or Sprint

00:13:47.280 to help build your portfolio.

00:13:48.980 Imagine if they'd given you

00:13:49.960 that Apple stock

00:13:50.940 in the 80s.

00:13:51.740 Gosh,

00:13:52.000 you'd be a zillionaire by now.

00:14:02.980 So speaking of things

00:14:04.400 shutting down,

00:14:05.100 the federal government

00:14:05.760 may shut down,

00:14:06.820 the Trump Foundation

00:14:07.500 has officially shut down.

00:14:09.680 This,

00:14:10.020 the left is so excited

00:14:11.400 about this

00:14:11.900 and it's because

00:14:13.180 they've never looked

00:14:14.340 in a mirror.

00:14:15.160 It's because I think

00:14:15.920 the left collectively,

00:14:17.020 they don't have any mirrors.

00:14:18.380 So they're really thrilled

00:14:19.560 about the President Trump's

00:14:20.980 charity,

00:14:21.500 the Trump Foundation,

00:14:22.360 shutting down.

00:14:22.840 They don't realize

00:14:23.720 how poorly

00:14:24.340 this reflects on them.

00:14:26.700 It's being shut down

00:14:27.880 over a deal

00:14:29.260 with the New York

00:14:29.880 Attorney General.

00:14:30.840 The whole investigation

00:14:31.640 into the,

00:14:32.400 the,

00:14:32.980 the Trump Foundation

00:14:34.940 is because of the

00:14:35.660 New York Attorney General.

00:14:36.820 The New York AG found,

00:14:38.380 quote,

00:14:39.200 a shocking

00:14:40.320 pattern of illegality

00:14:42.220 and

00:14:43.340 they said that

00:14:44.960 the Foundation's

00:14:45.960 decision to shut down

00:14:46.820 was, quote,

00:14:47.660 an important victory

00:14:49.220 for the rule of law.

00:14:51.220 Yes,

00:14:51.580 this Democrat

00:14:52.780 New York Attorney General.

00:14:53.920 She got her scalp

00:14:54.900 that, you know,

00:14:55.880 if the federal government

00:14:56.800 won't overturn

00:14:57.740 the 2016 election

00:14:58.800 and take down Trump,

00:14:59.900 the New York

00:15:00.660 corrupt politicians

00:15:01.880 will.

00:15:02.820 And, okay, fine,

00:15:03.580 they're trying to get Trump.

00:15:04.960 What is missing

00:15:06.060 in this story,

00:15:06.720 what they fail to mention,

00:15:07.860 is that President Trump

00:15:08.920 tried to shut down

00:15:09.720 this foundation

00:15:10.360 two years ago.

00:15:12.280 Actually,

00:15:12.680 the only reason

00:15:13.260 he didn't shut it down

00:15:14.300 two years ago

00:15:14.940 is because the AG

00:15:16.440 was dragging it out

00:15:17.580 for this investigation

00:15:18.460 to try to embarrass Trump.

00:15:20.840 Now, the AG says,

00:15:21.700 yes, in 2018,

00:15:22.800 we've got Trump

00:15:23.920 to shut down

00:15:24.520 his foundation.

00:15:27.040 No, what you did

00:15:27.760 is you got it

00:15:28.240 to take two years

00:15:28.860 longer than it should have.

00:15:30.120 The reason that

00:15:30.880 they're shutting it down

00:15:31.780 is that they found

00:15:32.640 that the foundation

00:15:33.380 used some funds

00:15:34.740 for business interests

00:15:36.080 and one claim

00:15:37.860 is that they illegally,

00:15:39.520 or they misused funds

00:15:40.940 because the foundation

00:15:42.480 settled claims

00:15:44.200 against the foundation,

00:15:45.340 which is perfectly reasonable.

00:15:47.800 That's perfectly,

00:15:48.480 that's not a misuse of funds.

00:15:49.940 That's not legitimate.

00:15:50.940 Now, they're saying

00:15:51.460 they used foundation funds

00:15:53.420 to resolve disputes

00:15:55.220 against the Trump organization,

00:15:56.700 against the business.

00:15:57.960 Okay, maybe they did,

00:15:59.120 maybe they didn't.

00:15:59.900 I don't really know.

00:16:01.240 They say that

00:16:02.080 the Trump Foundation

00:16:03.260 promised to donate

00:16:04.440 a lot of money

00:16:05.180 to veterans,

00:16:06.140 but then they only donated

00:16:07.960 a lot of money

00:16:08.720 to veterans.

00:16:10.280 This is actually a claim.

00:16:11.300 You remember in 2016,

00:16:12.400 President Trump,

00:16:12.980 there was a dispute

00:16:14.180 over a debate

00:16:14.940 or a candidate for him

00:16:15.860 and Trump said

00:16:16.580 he would hold a rally

00:16:17.560 and donate the money

00:16:19.340 to veterans' charities.

00:16:20.660 They said,

00:16:21.100 well, he didn't donate money

00:16:22.180 to veterans' charities,

00:16:23.380 but then also,

00:16:24.400 we do know that in 2016,

00:16:25.820 the Trump Foundation

00:16:26.520 donated a ton of money,

00:16:28.160 millions of dollars

00:16:28.880 to veterans' charities.

00:16:30.340 So which is it?

00:16:31.020 They're trying to have it both ways.

00:16:32.500 It's very unclear.

00:16:33.140 Clearly, the foundation

00:16:33.880 donated some money to charity.

00:16:35.500 Was it used improperly?

00:16:37.680 Maybe it was,

00:16:38.560 maybe it wasn't.

00:16:40.600 The left has two options here.

00:16:42.400 They can either compare it

00:16:43.800 to the Clinton Foundation

00:16:44.960 and say,

00:16:45.860 see, you have a foundation too.

00:16:48.000 You guys are just as bad

00:16:49.200 as our 2016 presidential candidate.

00:16:52.460 Oh.

00:16:53.060 You guys are just as bad

00:16:54.040 as the Clintons,

00:16:55.180 the most important family

00:16:56.080 in the Democratic.

00:16:56.660 Okay, never mind.

00:16:57.320 Maybe that doesn't work

00:16:58.080 so well for them.

00:16:59.200 The other option

00:17:00.500 is to say,

00:17:01.200 look how corrupt

00:17:01.820 President Trump is

00:17:02.660 and not to draw

00:17:04.300 any comparisons

00:17:05.660 to the Clinton Foundation.

00:17:07.940 Obviously,

00:17:08.440 there is a comparison.

00:17:09.380 There are two

00:17:10.400 political family foundations

00:17:12.180 that maybe misused money

00:17:16.440 in some way.

00:17:17.500 Maybe they didn't.

00:17:18.060 They've had investigations

00:17:18.800 into them.

00:17:19.280 Okay, there's that comparison.

00:17:20.900 But on substantive matters,

00:17:22.320 there's really not much

00:17:23.320 of a comparison

00:17:24.000 between the Trump Foundation

00:17:26.480 and the Clinton Foundation.

00:17:28.060 President Trump,

00:17:29.200 when he was elected,

00:17:30.480 decided to dissolve

00:17:31.760 his foundation.

00:17:33.500 The Clintons,

00:17:34.520 while Bill Clinton

00:17:35.560 was president,

00:17:36.660 created their foundation.

00:17:38.380 President Trump saw

00:17:39.060 there might be

00:17:39.420 a conflict of interest here,

00:17:40.440 dissolves his foundation.

00:17:41.660 The Clintons create one

00:17:43.340 specifically at the end

00:17:44.620 of Bill Clinton's term,

00:17:45.800 1997, I think it was founded,

00:17:47.660 while Hillary is planning 1.00

00:17:48.700 a run for the Senate

00:17:49.420 before she becomes

00:17:50.360 Secretary of State,

00:17:51.360 specifically to encourage

00:17:53.100 bribes and corruption

00:17:54.100 in her foundation.

00:17:55.280 Now, why was Trump's

00:17:56.840 foundation's money misused?

00:17:59.060 It looks like it was

00:18:00.140 sloppy mismanagement,

00:18:01.480 basically.

00:18:02.220 I don't see evidence

00:18:03.800 of some grand conspiracy here.

00:18:06.060 Why was the Clintons' 0.97

00:18:07.180 money misused?

00:18:08.320 Because of a specific,

00:18:10.140 deceptive campaign

00:18:11.440 to take money

00:18:12.760 from foreign governments

00:18:13.720 in exchange for

00:18:14.440 government favors.

00:18:15.460 The entire thing

00:18:16.360 was set up to solicit bribes.

00:18:18.300 Obviously, the Trump Foundation

00:18:19.240 wasn't set up to solicit bribes.

00:18:20.760 He wasn't in office

00:18:21.440 for the vast majority

00:18:22.860 of the foundation's existence.

00:18:24.880 And then,

00:18:25.320 the main issue here

00:18:26.480 is there's no comparison

00:18:27.700 in the media treatment.

00:18:29.760 How did the media

00:18:30.340 cover the Clinton Foundation?

00:18:32.040 Have they?

00:18:32.460 I don't know.

00:18:32.820 Have they covered

00:18:33.260 the Clinton Foundation?

00:18:34.840 Not very much.

00:18:35.600 And this,

00:18:36.800 they're spiking the football.

00:18:37.800 They're so excited.

00:18:39.340 This is why.

00:18:40.080 We should actually be happy

00:18:40.920 about this media treatment.

00:18:42.360 This is why

00:18:42.980 mainstream media attacks

00:18:44.060 against Trump

00:18:44.620 don't work.

00:18:45.900 This is why

00:18:46.860 conservatives

00:18:48.320 are rallying

00:18:49.360 around this guy.

00:18:50.040 This is why

00:18:50.500 Christians,

00:18:51.600 conservatives,

00:18:52.340 why we're all

00:18:52.980 defending the payments

00:18:54.300 to the porn star.

00:18:55.380 Rightly so defending

00:18:56.340 the payments

00:18:56.740 to the porn star.

00:18:57.700 It's because

00:18:58.340 of the abject hypocrisy here.

00:19:00.840 Because it is so unfair

00:19:02.560 for the media

00:19:03.480 and apparently

00:19:04.920 the federal government

00:19:05.760 and the state governments

00:19:06.660 to go after

00:19:07.620 President Trump

00:19:08.280 for things

00:19:09.440 that they completely

00:19:10.480 let Democrats

00:19:11.240 off the hook for.

00:19:12.800 You know,

00:19:13.240 Marx,

00:19:14.020 I think quoting Engels,

00:19:15.340 said that

00:19:15.940 history repeats itself

00:19:17.600 first as tragedy,

00:19:19.400 then as farce.

00:19:20.700 And that's what

00:19:21.220 we're seeing here.

00:19:22.000 That's what we're seeing

00:19:22.640 playing out

00:19:23.360 in the Trump Foundation.

00:19:24.600 We see the tragedy

00:19:25.860 of the Clinton administration,

00:19:27.540 the tragedy

00:19:28.140 of Hillary Clinton's

00:19:29.340 awful career

00:19:30.520 in public service,

00:19:31.560 all the damage

00:19:32.340 he's done to our country.

00:19:33.420 And then you see it play out

00:19:34.900 in the farce

00:19:35.860 of President Trump.

00:19:37.020 And the thing about farces,

00:19:38.180 we can admit,

00:19:38.860 even supporters

00:19:39.400 of President Trump

00:19:40.160 can admit,

00:19:41.020 a lot of his administration

00:19:42.060 is funny.

00:19:42.840 A lot of it has given us

00:19:45.020 a great joy and laughter.

00:19:46.840 The tweets are funny.

00:19:47.800 Even a lot of the policies

00:19:48.880 that overturn

00:19:49.620 so many Democrat policies

00:19:51.240 are very funny.

00:19:52.400 The farce can be

00:19:53.120 a good thing.

00:19:54.040 It is in some ways

00:19:55.280 born out of the culture 0.99

00:19:56.540 that the Clinton

00:19:57.500 administration created.

00:19:58.920 And this is just

00:19:59.520 the funny,

00:20:00.120 good version of that.

00:20:01.160 The left simply

00:20:02.360 can't take that joke.

00:20:04.320 So,

00:20:04.940 moving on from farce,

00:20:07.840 moving on from

00:20:08.420 a happy story,

00:20:09.900 we've got to talk about

00:20:11.220 the most disturbing story

00:20:12.700 in the news,

00:20:14.600 maybe all year.

00:20:16.320 I actually don't know

00:20:17.480 that there's a more

00:20:18.320 disturbing story

00:20:19.200 all year long.

00:20:20.620 There is an 11-year-old boy,

00:20:22.880 Desmond Naples,

00:20:24.600 who has the worst parents

00:20:26.520 in the history

00:20:27.180 of the world.

00:20:28.620 I don't know,

00:20:28.940 maybe not like

00:20:29.580 the history of the world.

00:20:30.740 I mean,

00:20:30.940 some parents have

00:20:32.080 eaten their children

00:20:32.980 before.

00:20:33.700 I don't know.

00:20:34.160 I mean,

00:20:34.320 that might be

00:20:34.760 slightly worse.

00:20:35.540 This is pretty bad,

00:20:36.380 though.

00:20:36.960 On December 1st,

00:20:38.540 an 11-year-old boy

00:20:39.500 named Desmond Naples

00:20:41.040 dressed up in drag,

00:20:43.500 went to a gay bar

00:20:44.380 in Brooklyn

00:20:44.860 called the $3 Bill

00:20:46.420 and started dancing

00:20:47.780 on the bar

00:20:48.600 dressed as Gwen Stefani

00:20:50.100 while the adult male patrons

00:20:52.720 threw dollar bills at him.

00:20:55.040 And this was encouraged.

00:20:56.420 This was celebrated.

00:20:57.300 And the bar,

00:20:57.920 by the way,

00:20:58.380 the bar in Brooklyn,

00:21:00.360 the $3 Bill,

00:21:01.680 doesn't allow any cameras,

00:21:03.180 doesn't allow any

00:21:04.040 cell phones in there

00:21:05.820 because obviously

00:21:06.400 they're up to some

00:21:06.880 pretty weird stuff

00:21:07.660 if they're inviting

00:21:08.620 11-year-old drag queens

00:21:09.720 up there and throwing

00:21:10.320 dollar bills at him.

00:21:11.540 I'm not going to play

00:21:12.560 the video of this,

00:21:13.480 obviously,

00:21:14.260 because I assume

00:21:15.100 that's illegal.

00:21:15.800 I assume it's so bizarre

00:21:18.520 that I don't want,

00:21:19.400 I mean,

00:21:19.700 actually,

00:21:20.540 frankly,

00:21:21.220 given the current state

00:21:22.720 of social media

00:21:23.400 and conservative discourse,

00:21:24.860 they'd probably let

00:21:25.680 that video stay up.

00:21:26.940 That one would do

00:21:27.600 just fine on Facebook

00:21:28.480 and Twitter and YouTube,

00:21:29.500 but if I start talking

00:21:30.440 about the traditional

00:21:31.080 definition of marriage,

00:21:32.040 they'll shut me down,

00:21:33.140 say it's hate speech,

00:21:34.120 it's awful,

00:21:34.500 it should be illegal.

00:21:35.640 What I will play,

00:21:36.600 though,

00:21:36.840 is the treatment

00:21:37.920 of this story

00:21:39.360 in the mainstream media

00:21:40.580 because the treatment

00:21:41.840 by major outlets

00:21:43.500 like the Today Show

00:21:44.420 is probably just as disturbing

00:21:46.480 as the video itself.

00:21:48.140 Desmond Napolis

00:21:48.860 is smart,

00:21:49.960 self-assured,

00:21:50.780 talented,

00:21:51.160 he loves to dress up

00:21:52.380 and work the runway

00:21:53.560 in drag

00:21:54.280 with dramatic makeup,

00:21:55.380 but only if his homework

00:21:57.380 is done.

00:21:58.320 That's because Desmond

00:21:59.100 is just 10 years old,

00:22:00.720 but he's already

00:22:01.360 a social media star

00:22:02.880 and he says

00:22:03.440 he wants to use

00:22:04.500 his platform

00:22:05.100 to inspire other kids

00:22:06.400 to love and accept themselves.

00:22:11.380 Sunday in the park

00:22:12.560 with 10-year-old

00:22:13.300 Desmond Napolis.

00:22:14.620 This is one of his

00:22:15.480 favorite playgrounds.

00:22:17.040 Desmond is amazing!

00:22:18.260 All right,

00:22:19.500 I'm going to cut it

00:22:20.020 before they actually show

00:22:21.220 the kid on the drag carpet.

00:22:24.120 Isn't that so,

00:22:24.900 isn't it so wonderful?

00:22:26.580 Isn't it just,

00:22:27.280 it's his favorite playground.

00:22:28.700 One of his favorite playgrounds

00:22:30.440 is the playground for children

00:22:31.960 where they play,

00:22:32.800 and then the other one

00:22:34.000 is a highly sexualized runway 1.00

00:22:35.960 where old creepy men

00:22:37.480 can leer at him

00:22:38.100 and throw dollar bills at him.

00:22:39.640 Isn't that so nice?

00:22:40.660 Isn't that so sweet?

00:22:41.920 How wonderful.

00:22:42.860 This is the logical conclusion

00:22:45.060 of left-wing tolerance.

00:22:48.440 Tolerance is not a great thing.

00:22:50.640 You know,

00:22:51.280 Bishop Barron was on the,

00:22:53.140 Bishop Barron,

00:22:53.860 who's this Catholic bishop

00:22:55.600 and a social media store,

00:22:57.140 was on Ben Shapiro's

00:22:58.760 Sunday special,

00:23:00.120 and he talked about

00:23:00.880 how tolerance is the virtue

00:23:02.200 of the modern era,

00:23:03.360 but it's not a traditional virtue,

00:23:05.200 it's not a classical virtue,

00:23:06.200 it's not a Christian virtue.

00:23:08.000 We should not be tolerating

00:23:09.660 an 11-year-old

00:23:10.680 dressed up in drag 0.88

00:23:11.660 dancing on a bar

00:23:12.480 while adult men

00:23:13.600 throw dollar bills.

00:23:14.400 That's not something

00:23:14.980 we should tolerate.

00:23:15.940 There's nothing good about that,

00:23:17.100 there's nothing compassionate.

00:23:18.260 About tolerating that.

00:23:20.200 What's really bizarre,

00:23:23.000 well,

00:23:23.300 there are many bizarre aspects

00:23:25.120 to this story,

00:23:26.120 but what's especially bizarre

00:23:27.640 is the Democrat treatment

00:23:29.520 of sex.

00:23:31.100 Because it's calling

00:23:32.640 into light

00:23:33.660 this essential lie

00:23:37.080 at the center

00:23:37.620 of the left-wing treatment

00:23:38.840 of sex,

00:23:39.600 which is that we should

00:23:40.700 affirm exotic sexuality

00:23:42.880 at all times

00:23:44.340 at all ages.

00:23:45.700 Not just the 35-year-old

00:23:47.740 gay guy 0.96

00:23:48.220 who lives in the village,

00:23:49.340 not just the adult drag queen,

00:23:51.880 but for teenagers,

00:23:53.140 for young teenagers,

00:23:54.560 for children.

00:23:56.300 You know,

00:23:56.740 Owen Benjamin,

00:23:57.600 the conservative comedian,

00:23:58.660 was kicked off

00:23:59.580 of social media

00:24:00.720 because he said

00:24:02.180 that parents

00:24:02.940 should not be allowed

00:24:03.640 to shoot their

00:24:04.400 toddlers full of hormones

00:24:06.200 to make them resemble

00:24:07.140 the opposite sex. 0.71

00:24:08.460 He said it's a bad idea

00:24:09.680 to castrate your children,

00:24:10.920 and he was booted off

00:24:12.800 of social media

00:24:13.420 for being a hater.

00:24:15.040 But that's what

00:24:15.580 it's come to now.

00:24:17.240 We're now,

00:24:17.980 they talk about

00:24:19.160 how at all stages now,

00:24:21.180 including a 10-year-old,

00:24:22.160 11-year-old kid

00:24:22.940 who is being totally exploited

00:24:24.460 by his horrific parents

00:24:25.660 that,

00:24:27.160 and, you know,

00:24:28.000 he's got a website up

00:24:29.220 and he's going on television.

00:24:31.880 We should totally affirm

00:24:33.460 all of this provocative,

00:24:35.880 bizarre sexual behavior.

00:24:37.540 But then,

00:24:38.020 on the other hand,

00:24:38.700 the left tells us

00:24:39.500 that the most important thing

00:24:40.900 in the world is consent.

00:24:43.140 Nothing,

00:24:43.520 everything about sex is fine 0.60

00:24:44.680 except it has to be consensual.

00:24:46.480 It has to be so consensual

00:24:47.660 that every single step

00:24:48.960 of the way,

00:24:49.580 you need to sign

00:24:50.240 a written form

00:24:50.900 that says,

00:24:51.400 I consent to do this.

00:24:52.480 I can be kissed.

00:24:53.500 I can be touched.

00:24:54.420 I can be hugged.

00:24:55.340 I can do this.

00:24:56.260 I can do that.

00:24:57.000 We're so focused on consent

00:24:58.640 that Baby It's Cold Outside

00:25:00.180 is being banned

00:25:00.920 from radio stations

00:25:01.920 because they think

00:25:03.300 that the song,

00:25:04.040 well, one,

00:25:04.420 because they completely

00:25:05.260 misunderstand

00:25:05.680 what that song is about,

00:25:06.860 but because that they think

00:25:07.840 that the literal words

00:25:08.900 in a couple of the verses

00:25:10.100 imply that there isn't

00:25:12.180 100% consent.

00:25:14.020 They say it's all about consent.

00:25:15.580 That's the main aspect

00:25:16.680 of sexual relations

00:25:18.780 between people.

00:25:20.120 And also,

00:25:21.100 young children should be able

00:25:22.380 to explore whatever sexuality

00:25:23.640 they want.

00:25:24.660 Young children are not capable 1.00

00:25:26.300 of giving consent.

00:25:27.940 This is why we have

00:25:28.560 statutory rape laws.

00:25:30.040 This is why we have

00:25:31.860 the age of consent.

00:25:33.380 Now,

00:25:33.720 is the age of consent 0.53

00:25:34.720 17 or 18 or 16,

00:25:37.440 depending on the state?

00:25:39.000 Maybe.

00:25:39.620 I don't know.

00:25:40.320 Can you give consent

00:25:40.940 when you're 15?

00:25:41.660 I don't know.

00:25:42.000 Maybe you can.

00:25:42.600 You certainly can't give consent

00:25:43.660 when you're 11.

00:25:45.280 We know that that's the case.

00:25:46.700 And the left is caught up

00:25:47.940 in this because they want

00:25:48.820 to affirm.

00:25:49.660 They want to make an idol

00:25:50.980 out of sexual bizarreness.

00:25:54.420 They want to make an idol

00:25:55.440 out of exotic sexual behaviors.

00:25:58.040 But they also have made an idol

00:25:59.700 out of consent,

00:26:00.880 clinical consent.

00:26:02.120 The two can't go together.

00:26:03.320 They're totally in conflict.

00:26:05.080 And they're in conflict

00:26:06.260 on this transgender issue

00:26:07.860 just as much as transgenderism 0.63

00:26:10.780 and feminism are in conflict. 1.00

00:26:13.140 This is one of the most

00:26:15.040 enjoyable parts

00:26:17.000 in a sort of schadenfreude way

00:26:19.060 of looking at the left right now

00:26:20.980 is the left by embracing

00:26:22.200 intersectionality.

00:26:23.740 The idea that all of these

00:26:25.400 disparate groups

00:26:26.220 who might disagree with each other

00:26:27.560 or have different interests

00:26:28.600 but they can band together

00:26:30.140 to oppose the straight white male

00:26:32.760 who thinks that he's a male.

00:26:34.740 Because of intersectionality

00:26:36.060 you have the feminists 1.00

00:26:37.660 and the transgenderist movement

00:26:39.780 butted up together.

00:26:42.280 But they make opposite claims.

00:26:43.900 On the one hand,

00:26:44.700 feminism talks about women as women. 0.96

00:26:47.100 Women as different from men. 1.00

00:26:49.180 Women as having different interests 1.00

00:26:50.560 than men.

00:26:51.360 Women as having been oppressed

00:26:53.280 by men over time.

00:26:54.480 And then the transgenderist ideology says,

00:26:56.700 oh, there's really no such thing

00:26:58.000 as women and men.

00:26:59.100 Men can be women.

00:27:00.040 Women can be men. 0.77

00:27:00.700 There's no such thing

00:27:01.360 as an innate sexual difference

00:27:03.200 or a fundamental sexual difference at all.

00:27:05.500 This came out most hilariously

00:27:07.140 in the Miss Universe pageant

00:27:09.220 over the weekend.

00:27:10.000 In Miss Universe,

00:27:11.500 a man almost became

00:27:13.500 the Miss Universe.

00:27:15.120 I would love

00:27:16.200 if I could be a fly on the wall

00:27:18.020 of feminists now

00:27:18.840 who are so confused.

00:27:19.940 Say, oh, this is great

00:27:20.840 because we're affirming

00:27:21.740 sexual as well.

00:27:24.460 But it's a man.

00:27:25.200 But a man in a bikini 0.98

00:27:26.680 and that's a good...

00:27:28.160 Women in bikinis are bad. 1.00

00:27:29.180 Men in bikinis are good. 1.00

00:27:30.660 Here is a little bit

00:27:32.240 of the coverage

00:27:32.720 of Miss Universe.

00:27:34.140 And we are back now

00:27:35.120 with that groundbreaking night

00:27:36.420 at the Miss Universe pageant.

00:27:37.920 Miss Spain making history

00:27:39.260 just by being there

00:27:40.800 and Miss Philippines

00:27:41.600 winning the crown.

00:27:42.620 Lara's got all the details.

00:27:44.120 Good morning.

00:27:44.600 Good morning to you all.

00:27:45.900 Yes, it was quite a night.

00:27:47.040 Lots of pomp and pageantry.

00:27:48.140 A few stumbles

00:27:50.100 along the way as well.

00:27:52.740 But it was also

00:27:54.180 a night of first.

00:27:55.160 The first all-female 1.00

00:27:56.000 judging panel

00:27:56.660 as well as the first

00:27:57.940 transgender contestant.

00:28:01.200 Overnight,

00:28:01.960 history made

00:28:02.740 at Miss Universe.

00:28:05.840 Spanish model

00:28:06.780 Angela Ponce

00:28:07.500 becoming the first

00:28:08.860 transgender woman

00:28:09.860 to compete

00:28:10.760 in the 66-year-old pageant.

00:28:13.560 The audience greeting her

00:28:15.400 with a standing O.

00:28:16.620 That is groundbreaking.

00:28:19.040 That is definitely

00:28:20.080 a groundbreaking thing

00:28:22.020 for a dude

00:28:23.000 to become Miss Universe.

00:28:24.500 It is.

00:28:25.120 At the very least,

00:28:26.060 it's groundbreaking.

00:28:27.100 It's completely illogical,

00:28:28.240 but it's groundbreaking.

00:28:29.180 The other aspect

00:28:29.840 of this story

00:28:30.340 that no one is covering

00:28:31.300 is that Donald Trump

00:28:32.900 used to run Miss Universe.

00:28:35.020 And when Trump

00:28:35.760 ran Miss Universe,

00:28:36.840 this was a theme

00:28:37.720 of the 2016 campaign,

00:28:39.400 the left tells us

00:28:40.140 that was really bad.

00:28:41.840 Oh, it was so bad.

00:28:43.420 Miss Universe is so bad. 1.00

00:28:44.940 It objectifies women. 1.00

00:28:47.780 It exploits women. 1.00

00:28:49.280 It makes women, 1.00

00:28:50.960 that pig, 1.00

00:28:51.680 that pig misogynist

00:28:53.340 Donald Trump

00:28:54.180 makes women 0.98

00:28:55.200 trot out onto the stage

00:28:57.040 wearing bikinis 0.93

00:28:58.180 for our sexual pleasure. 0.84

00:29:00.360 That's so terrible

00:29:01.220 unless a man does it 0.53

00:29:02.180 and then it's beautiful.

00:29:03.840 Unless Trump

00:29:04.580 doesn't run it anymore

00:29:05.560 and then a man

00:29:06.200 wears a bikini

00:29:06.840 and then that's good.

00:29:08.000 Are we to conclude

00:29:09.320 from that

00:29:09.820 that it's perfectly fine

00:29:11.600 to sexually objectify

00:29:13.360 men who think

00:29:14.340 that they're women 0.99

00:29:14.920 but it's very wrong

00:29:16.280 to sexually objectify women?

00:29:18.560 I thought trans women 1.00

00:29:19.660 are women.

00:29:20.460 What is,

00:29:21.080 it's very, very confusing.

00:29:22.680 Good luck

00:29:23.000 trying to wrap your head

00:29:24.140 around that.

00:29:25.400 What this shows you

00:29:26.760 is this underlying,

00:29:29.380 this underlying fact

00:29:31.600 of the left

00:29:32.280 which is

00:29:33.020 they don't really have

00:29:33.960 a problem

00:29:34.380 with the bikinis. 0.98

00:29:35.640 They don't really have

00:29:36.480 a problem

00:29:36.900 with beauty contests.

00:29:38.400 What they really

00:29:39.080 have a problem with

00:29:40.140 is Donald Trump.

00:29:41.640 What they really

00:29:42.160 have a problem with

00:29:43.080 is men.

00:29:44.260 What they really

00:29:44.820 have a problem with

00:29:45.760 is the patriarchy.

00:29:47.200 What they really

00:29:47.600 have a problem with

00:29:48.380 is western civilization.

00:29:50.080 That's what they don't like.

00:29:51.800 That's what they hate.

00:29:52.860 They hate norms

00:29:54.060 and they hate traditions.

00:29:55.840 I mean the bizarre story

00:29:57.000 of exploiting

00:29:58.120 an 11 year old

00:29:58.900 to do a sex act

00:30:00.480 or a sexual dance

00:30:02.280 for adult men

00:30:03.700 throwing dollar bills

00:30:04.440 at him.

00:30:04.880 That is obviously

00:30:05.860 awful and offends

00:30:07.120 every person

00:30:07.840 of right reason.

00:30:08.800 But the reason

00:30:09.360 that the left

00:30:09.780 will embrace

00:30:10.280 that sort of thing

00:30:10.980 is because it subverts

00:30:12.500 our traditional culture.

00:30:14.280 It subverts

00:30:14.900 the mores of our society.

00:30:16.620 It subverts

00:30:17.140 our civilization.

00:30:18.520 And the same thing

00:30:19.340 is true of this

00:30:20.220 transgenderism pageant. 0.99

00:30:22.260 The left doesn't care

00:30:23.200 about,

00:30:24.740 certainly they don't care

00:30:25.620 about the child

00:30:26.200 sexual abuse per se

00:30:27.440 that drag queen kid 1.00

00:30:29.880 tells you everything

00:30:30.660 about that.

00:30:31.400 They don't care

00:30:32.020 about the alleged

00:30:32.660 misogyny

00:30:33.360 of these beauty pageants.

00:30:35.660 They don't really care.

00:30:36.420 What they care about

00:30:37.320 is undoing tradition.

00:30:39.300 I mean the fact

00:30:40.880 that Donald Trump

00:30:41.480 ran this thing

00:30:42.260 is the greatest

00:30:44.240 demonstration of this

00:30:45.300 at all.

00:30:45.820 They hate that.

00:30:47.380 It's a sort of like

00:30:48.540 I don't like you dad.

00:30:50.260 I'm really angry

00:30:51.060 at you dad.

00:30:51.740 It's a cultural rebellion

00:30:53.820 because Miss Universe

00:30:56.660 didn't change

00:30:57.380 last year to this year.

00:30:59.020 Two years ago

00:30:59.600 to this year.

00:31:00.340 Nothing about it changed

00:31:01.460 except this time

00:31:03.000 it was a dude

00:31:04.360 wearing the bikini

00:31:05.500 and the dude

00:31:06.340 wearing the bikini

00:31:07.060 is bizarre

00:31:07.720 because he's not

00:31:09.220 Miss Universe.

00:31:09.900 He can't be Miss Universe.

00:31:11.160 I guess he could be

00:31:12.000 Mr. Universe

00:31:12.580 even though he looks

00:31:13.520 a little bit more

00:31:14.020 like a Miss Universe.

00:31:15.180 That's what they're after.

00:31:16.440 They're after

00:31:17.100 upending our society.

00:31:20.140 They're after

00:31:20.680 getting us all riled up

00:31:22.940 and getting us angry.

00:31:24.260 It's a silly rebellion.

00:31:25.800 It's a frivolous rebellion

00:31:26.700 but it really shows

00:31:27.940 the nihilism of the left.

00:31:30.600 It shows that

00:31:31.280 they're not really

00:31:31.760 after anything.

00:31:32.960 You can't think

00:31:33.460 of a unifying message

00:31:35.240 right now

00:31:35.740 among Democrats

00:31:36.480 or on the left.

00:31:37.480 They don't have

00:31:38.300 a proactive program.

00:31:40.140 They're not saying

00:31:40.360 we should do this,

00:31:41.120 we need to do this,

00:31:41.760 we need to do this.

00:31:42.020 It's just

00:31:42.440 I hate Trump.

00:31:43.900 I F Trump,

00:31:45.120 F this,

00:31:45.760 resist,

00:31:46.580 resist,

00:31:47.460 break down,

00:31:48.320 smash the patriarchy,

00:31:49.760 this, that,

00:31:50.160 and the other thing.

00:31:50.720 We see this explicitly

00:31:52.080 by the way

00:31:52.700 on some of the other

00:31:54.360 social issues

00:31:55.020 on abortion,

00:31:55.960 on euthanasia.

00:31:58.380 The left

00:31:59.160 has just a negative

00:32:01.420 agenda at this point.

00:32:02.380 It's an inverted

00:32:03.060 backwards agenda

00:32:04.300 and there's

00:32:06.360 no way clearer

00:32:07.720 than watching a man

00:32:09.520 strut down a stage

00:32:10.440 in a bikini.

00:32:11.620 We have got to say

00:32:12.620 goodbye to Facebook

00:32:13.700 and YouTube.

00:32:15.020 If you are on

00:32:15.880 thedailywire.com,

00:32:16.700 thank you very much.

00:32:17.700 We appreciate it.

00:32:18.400 It keeps the lights on.

00:32:19.080 It keeps covfefe in my cup.

00:32:20.580 If you are not,

00:32:21.320 go to dailywire.com right now.

00:32:22.440 What do you get?

00:32:23.140 It's $10 a month,

00:32:23.900 $100 for an annual membership.

00:32:25.580 You get me.

00:32:26.220 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:32:27.000 You get the Ben Shapiro show.

00:32:27.780 You get to ask questions

00:32:28.360 in the mailbag.

00:32:28.940 That's coming up on Thursday.

00:32:30.160 You get to ask questions

00:32:31.100 in the conversation

00:32:31.940 and tomorrow at 5.30 p.m.

00:32:34.600 Eastern,

00:32:35.160 2.30 p.m. Pacific,

00:32:36.280 Ben Shapiro will be

00:32:37.140 taking all of your questions

00:32:38.180 and blowing your mind

00:32:39.880 with all of his wisdom

00:32:41.520 live on the air.

00:32:42.960 Did Ben write that?

00:32:43.920 Ben put that in there,

00:32:44.720 I think.

00:32:45.020 I don't remember writing that.

00:32:46.260 Alicia Krauss will be there

00:32:47.260 to collect all of

00:32:48.280 the leftist tears

00:32:48.940 so that the great flood

00:32:50.300 doesn't happen again.

00:32:52.300 That'll be a lot of fun.

00:32:53.120 What else?

00:32:53.300 You get a lot of other stuff too.

00:32:54.540 You get to ask questions

00:32:55.160 in backstage.

00:32:55.780 You get another kingdom

00:32:56.440 which is getting

00:32:57.400 great ratings,

00:32:58.740 huge ratings,

00:32:59.380 killing it

00:33:00.040 in the ratings, folks.

00:33:01.020 So go over there.

00:33:01.660 You get a ton of stuff

00:33:02.420 but this is what you really get.

00:33:05.000 You get the leftist tears tumbler

00:33:06.360 because I'm dreaming

00:33:07.660 of a white Christmas.

00:33:08.800 On Christmas Day

00:33:10.160 when the federal government

00:33:11.220 has shut down

00:33:12.200 so that we can get Santa Claus

00:33:14.080 to bring us

00:33:14.520 a $5 billion border wall

00:33:15.920 that's 10 feet higher.

00:33:17.000 You're going to have

00:33:17.640 those leftist tears

00:33:18.400 freeze in the atmosphere

00:33:19.500 and they're going to create

00:33:20.480 beautiful, fluffy snowflakes

00:33:22.600 and you'll need

00:33:23.280 your leftist tears tumbler

00:33:24.220 or you'll be crushed

00:33:25.040 in the avalanche.

00:33:25.900 Go to dailywire.com.

00:33:27.180 We'll be right back

00:33:27.800 with a lot more.

00:33:29.380 I have long said

00:33:40.380 that the left's agenda

00:33:41.740 is an agenda

00:33:42.520 of destruction.

00:33:44.160 It's not a constructive agenda.

00:33:46.240 It's not about

00:33:46.800 building something new.

00:33:47.880 It's about tearing down

00:33:48.960 everything that we have

00:33:50.780 in our society,

00:33:51.660 in our families,

00:33:52.540 in our civilization.

00:33:54.200 This became explicit.

00:33:55.660 This actually surprised me today

00:33:56.920 in the New York Times.

00:33:57.760 They ran an op-ed

00:33:58.940 about how human extinction

00:34:00.480 would be a good thing.

00:34:02.640 True story.

00:34:03.600 Clemson professor.

00:34:04.600 This was written by an academic,

00:34:05.780 somebody teaching your children.

00:34:07.660 His name is Todd May.

00:34:09.080 Of course his name is Todd.

00:34:10.900 You know,

00:34:11.760 of course a guy like Todd

00:34:13.260 would talk about

00:34:14.180 how we have to exterminate

00:34:15.380 the humans

00:34:15.880 so that the delta smelt

00:34:17.640 can swim a little easier.

00:34:19.060 It's a total Todd move.

00:34:20.620 The headline is

00:34:22.500 would human extinction

00:34:23.800 be a tragedy?

00:34:25.920 And you won't believe

00:34:27.980 the answer.

00:34:29.020 The subheader says

00:34:29.860 our species

00:34:30.620 possesses inherent value

00:34:32.140 but we are devastating

00:34:33.540 the earth

00:34:34.120 and causing

00:34:35.020 unimaginable

00:34:36.060 animal suffering.

00:34:38.800 So Todd,

00:34:39.520 you know which side

00:34:40.100 Todd comes down on.

00:34:41.260 He says that human extinction

00:34:42.200 would not be a tragedy.

00:34:43.940 This is just

00:34:44.580 the first paragraph

00:34:45.700 or so.

00:34:47.020 Todd writes,

00:34:48.200 Let me start

00:34:49.360 with a claim

00:34:49.840 that I think

00:34:50.340 will be at once depressing

00:34:51.300 and upon reflection

00:34:52.220 uncontroversial.

00:34:53.600 Human beings

00:34:54.220 are destroying

00:34:54.960 large parts

00:34:55.920 of the inhabitable earth

00:34:57.120 and causing

00:34:57.920 unimaginable suffering

00:34:59.180 to many of the animals

00:35:00.420 that inhabit it.

00:35:01.460 This is happening

00:35:02.100 through at least

00:35:02.580 three means.

00:35:03.520 First,

00:35:04.080 human contribution

00:35:04.880 to climate change

00:35:05.940 is devastating ecosystems

00:35:07.280 as the recent article

00:35:08.780 on Yellowstone Park

00:35:10.080 in the Times

00:35:10.720 exemplifies.

00:35:12.280 Second,

00:35:13.260 increasing human population

00:35:14.640 is encroaching

00:35:15.660 on ecosystems

00:35:16.420 that would otherwise

00:35:17.300 be intact.

00:35:18.580 Third,

00:35:19.240 factory farming

00:35:20.100 fosters the creation

00:35:21.200 of millions

00:35:21.820 upon millions

00:35:22.380 of animals

00:35:22.840 for whom it offers

00:35:23.780 nothing but suffering

00:35:24.700 and misery

00:35:25.520 before slaughtering them

00:35:26.780 in often barbaric ways.

00:35:28.520 Mmm, delicious.

00:35:29.540 There is no reason

00:35:30.540 to think that those practices

00:35:31.920 are going to diminish

00:35:32.780 anytime soon.

00:35:33.580 Quite the opposite.

00:35:34.660 Humanity then

00:35:35.480 is the source

00:35:36.680 of devastation

00:35:37.600 of the lives

00:35:39.260 of conscious animals

00:35:40.260 on a scale

00:35:41.220 that is difficult

00:35:41.940 to comprehend.

00:35:43.760 I wish I could get

00:35:44.740 Ben in here

00:35:45.320 to play the violin

00:35:46.400 while my fingers

00:35:47.980 rubbed together

00:35:48.780 one to the other.

00:35:49.860 It's so,

00:35:50.440 it's not difficult

00:35:51.320 to comprehend at all.

00:35:52.500 But this,

00:35:53.600 what is difficult

00:35:54.280 for a lot of people

00:35:55.040 even for conservatives

00:35:55.900 to comprehend

00:35:56.480 is this recurring theme

00:35:58.360 of leftism

00:35:59.100 which is to discourage life

00:36:01.300 and hasten death. 0.53

00:36:02.820 You see it in abortion

00:36:05.120 killing incipient human life.

00:36:07.740 You see it in the redefinition

00:36:08.740 of marriage

00:36:09.320 trying to break down

00:36:10.580 the building block

00:36:11.220 of society

00:36:11.840 and discourage procreation.

00:36:13.780 You see this

00:36:14.760 in euthanasia.

00:36:16.100 The left is so happy,

00:36:17.960 giddy,

00:36:18.660 to kill people 0.87

00:36:19.520 who are suffering

00:36:20.360 in some way

00:36:21.000 or who are old

00:36:22.100 and deemed unuseful

00:36:23.240 to society

00:36:24.140 and now you see this

00:36:25.260 in a call

00:36:25.740 for the mass extinction

00:36:27.280 of the human race.

00:36:29.400 They don't love

00:36:30.320 the environment.

00:36:31.600 They hate humans.

00:36:32.600 That's what this is about.

00:36:33.540 They don't really care

00:36:34.380 about the delta smelt.

00:36:35.720 They don't care

00:36:36.500 about the little baby cow

00:36:38.020 who makes the delicious veal.

00:36:39.700 They hate humans.

00:36:41.120 That's what it's about.

00:36:41.820 They don't care

00:36:43.380 about child abuse.

00:36:45.320 They want to undermine

00:36:50.140 our basic civil

00:36:52.220 and cultural institutions

00:36:53.720 that sometimes interact with that.

00:36:57.800 This is what it's all about.

00:36:58.860 It's a negative agenda

00:37:00.200 and we should identify

00:37:03.980 that source.

00:37:04.680 It's really bizarre.

00:37:06.040 It's really,

00:37:07.780 we like to think

00:37:08.760 that we're just having

00:37:09.400 two rational political conversations.

00:37:11.420 Well, I want this policy.

00:37:12.580 Well, I want this policy.

00:37:13.840 Well, I want to pay

00:37:14.540 a little more in taxes.

00:37:15.500 I want to pay

00:37:15.840 a little less in taxes.

00:37:16.840 But there is a philosophical

00:37:18.740 and a spiritual basis

00:37:19.880 to these two visions

00:37:20.760 of the world

00:37:21.320 and the philosophical

00:37:22.840 and spiritual basis

00:37:23.920 of the left

00:37:24.780 is perverse

00:37:25.920 and really awful.

00:37:27.000 It is anti-life.

00:37:28.640 It is anti-flourishing.

00:37:30.380 It is anti-production.

00:37:33.780 You know,

00:37:34.840 I hate to make it too,

00:37:37.780 I don't want to seem hyperbolic

00:37:39.300 in discussing

00:37:40.320 the spirituality of this.

00:37:42.280 But evil does have a persona.

00:37:44.340 It has a personality.

00:37:45.380 I'm not saying

00:37:45.920 that leftists are evil.

00:37:47.200 I'm not saying leftists

00:37:48.140 are consciously evil.

00:37:49.240 but they are indulging in ideas

00:37:53.920 which are ultimately wicked,

00:37:55.900 which are ultimately nihilistic,

00:37:57.560 which says that

00:37:58.420 the Delta smelt exists

00:38:00.480 so that I may serve

00:38:01.700 the Delta smelt.

00:38:02.780 That isn't true.

00:38:03.800 We love animals.

00:38:04.660 We want to protect animals.

00:38:05.920 We want to protect them

00:38:06.840 so that we can enjoy them

00:38:07.880 and they're beautiful

00:38:08.420 and we like to look at them.

00:38:09.560 And ultimately,

00:38:10.140 we want to serve them

00:38:10.980 to each other on dinner plates.

00:38:12.600 That is what it's for.

00:38:13.940 We do not exist

00:38:14.940 to be the slaves

00:38:16.100 of the natural environment.

00:38:17.100 The natural environment

00:38:18.140 is there for us to enjoy.

00:38:20.520 They're also, by the way,

00:38:22.040 only loosely related.

00:38:23.080 There is a groundbreaking study

00:38:24.480 that came out today.

00:38:25.440 You might have seen it.

00:38:26.180 It came out

00:38:26.480 from Amnesty International.

00:38:28.020 It showed that Twitter

00:38:29.800 is a mean place.

00:38:32.700 I know,

00:38:33.520 but I should have warned you.

00:38:34.320 I should have said

00:38:34.660 pull over your car

00:38:35.620 before you hear this.

00:38:36.880 It turns out Twitter is mean.

00:38:38.000 Amnesty International,

00:38:39.120 this big, wide-ranging survey,

00:38:40.760 showed that Twitter

00:38:41.640 is, quote,

00:38:42.000 a toxic place,

00:38:42.840 quote,

00:38:43.500 the world's biggest data set

00:38:44.820 of online abuse

00:38:45.820 targeting women.

00:38:46.860 Online abuse,

00:38:47.740 especially toward women.

00:38:49.300 The thing is,

00:38:50.900 there's no actual abuse

00:38:52.120 on Twitter

00:38:52.560 because there can't be

00:38:53.740 any abuse on Twitter.

00:38:54.920 What is abuse?

00:38:55.620 The word abuse

00:38:56.320 actually means to misuse,

00:38:58.400 to use something in a way

00:38:59.320 that it's not intended for.

00:39:01.940 So you can't,

00:39:02.940 you can emotionally abuse people.

00:39:04.500 You certainly can do that.

00:39:05.560 You can emotionally abuse

00:39:06.800 family members

00:39:07.720 at the dinner table.

00:39:08.680 You can do that.

00:39:10.180 There isn't abuse on Twitter

00:39:11.760 because Twitter is a place

00:39:13.600 that exists

00:39:14.700 to incentivize abuse.

00:39:16.020 It's a place

00:39:16.980 where you say

00:39:17.460 really mean things

00:39:18.280 and you do it

00:39:19.140 usually from an anonymous account

00:39:21.960 so you don't have to show

00:39:22.940 who you are

00:39:23.560 and you direct it

00:39:24.320 to people that you don't know

00:39:25.460 that you're not really

00:39:26.180 interacting with

00:39:26.980 in a personal way.

00:39:28.360 What the left really means

00:39:29.340 is that Twitter

00:39:31.480 inspires violence.

00:39:33.520 That's what they're really saying.

00:39:34.500 They're saying

00:39:34.840 it's a place of violence

00:39:35.980 against women. 0.76

00:39:36.700 They're trying to conflate

00:39:37.540 abuse and speech

00:39:39.520 with violence

00:39:40.480 and this is what

00:39:41.080 they always do.

00:39:41.680 They conflate speech

00:39:42.400 with violence

00:39:42.920 so that they can go after us

00:39:44.420 and censor us. 0.61

00:39:45.600 This study used the

00:39:47.060 quote troll patrol

00:39:48.480 of 6,500 volunteers.

00:39:50.300 They analyzed millions

00:39:51.140 of tweets.

00:39:52.920 Milena Marin

00:39:53.780 the senior advisor

00:39:54.980 for tactical research

00:39:55.960 at Amnesty International

00:39:56.980 said in a statement

00:39:58.260 Twitter's failure

00:39:59.340 to crack down

00:40:00.060 on this problem

00:40:00.740 means it is contributing

00:40:01.880 to the silencing

00:40:02.680 of already marginalized voices.

00:40:05.800 Okay.

00:40:07.740 Here they're using

00:40:08.860 the word silencing

00:40:09.800 to mean not silencing.

00:40:11.820 What are they saying?

00:40:12.320 Twitter's failure

00:40:13.140 to censor people

00:40:14.480 who say mean things

00:40:15.660 and who defines

00:40:17.340 what's mean?

00:40:17.940 Who defines

00:40:18.400 what's abuse?

00:40:19.600 Twitter does.

00:40:21.000 Is it abuse

00:40:21.980 to say that men

00:40:22.720 are not women? 1.00

00:40:23.660 Because there was

00:40:24.220 a major feminist writer

00:40:25.460 who just lost

00:40:26.320 her entire Twitter account

00:40:27.300 for saying that men

00:40:28.440 are not women.

00:40:29.560 Is that abuse?

00:40:30.300 Yeah, of course.

00:40:30.900 Twitter defines that

00:40:31.600 as abuse.

00:40:32.460 So what they're saying

00:40:33.140 is Twitter's failure

00:40:33.960 to censor these people

00:40:35.500 means it is contributing

00:40:36.700 to the silencing

00:40:37.560 of marginalized voices.

00:40:39.480 Who's silencing anybody?

00:40:40.800 If you say something

00:40:43.040 mean to somebody

00:40:43.740 or really more likely

00:40:45.440 you say something

00:40:46.360 disagreeable to somebody

00:40:47.880 you aren't silencing them.

00:40:50.480 You're saying something

00:40:51.680 and then they can say

00:40:53.100 something to you

00:40:53.760 or they cannot say

00:40:55.000 something to you

00:40:55.520 or they can say

00:40:56.100 something to somebody else.

00:40:57.160 At no point

00:40:58.360 are you silencing anybody.

00:41:00.420 It is such Orwellian language

00:41:02.100 that Amnesty International

00:41:03.420 is using.

00:41:04.240 They are using silencing

00:41:05.280 to mean the opposite

00:41:06.060 of silencing

00:41:06.700 and they're using

00:41:08.180 that threat

00:41:08.780 to say that we should

00:41:09.560 really silence other people.

00:41:11.160 They refer to

00:41:11.680 marginalized voices.

00:41:12.980 Who are the

00:41:13.340 marginalized voices?

00:41:15.160 Is Jake Tapper

00:41:15.900 a marginalized voice?

00:41:17.900 Are they?

00:41:18.380 No, I don't think so.

00:41:19.340 I think that people

00:41:20.380 are not marginalized.

00:41:21.860 The people who are marginalized

00:41:22.840 are the ones

00:41:24.060 who are being threatened

00:41:24.800 with censorship

00:41:25.420 or who are being threatened.

00:41:27.740 It is true.

00:41:29.080 Twitter is contributing

00:41:30.120 to marginalizing

00:41:32.520 many voices

00:41:33.440 in the country.

00:41:34.860 The trouble is

00:41:35.560 what they're marginalizing

00:41:36.700 are conservative voices.

00:41:37.980 All right,

00:41:40.320 that's our show.

00:41:41.640 That's the whole thing.

00:41:42.360 We got to get out of here.

00:41:43.440 I know we run late.

00:41:44.240 We always run late.

00:41:45.460 Tune back in.

00:41:46.160 I know I was on the road yesterday.

00:41:47.260 I'm going to be on the road

00:41:48.140 later this week too,

00:41:49.140 by the way.

00:41:49.760 I'm going to be taking

00:41:50.460 a trip down to Palm Beach.

00:41:52.220 I don't know why.

00:41:53.160 I don't know if it's been announced

00:41:54.140 why I'm doing that,

00:41:55.120 but I'll just be going down

00:41:56.020 to Palm Beach.

00:41:56.680 What's in Palm Beach?

00:41:57.340 I don't know.

00:41:57.780 We're going to be having

00:41:58.160 a good time down there,

00:41:59.260 but I'll keep you posted

00:42:00.000 on when that is.

00:42:00.580 In the meantime,

00:42:01.000 I'll be back here
