The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 273 - The 2020 Campaign Trail Of Tears

00:00:00.000 The 2020 race officially begins as Elizabeth Warren announces her intentions to run for president.

00:00:06.740 We will take an early look around the campaign trail of tears.

00:00:10.220 Then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spends her Christmas vacation attacking little old me on Twitter. 0.99

00:01:58.920 2020 has already begun.

00:02:00.220 I feel like 2019, it wasn't even here.

00:02:02.840 It just passed in the blink of an eye.

00:02:04.240 Now we're back in 2020 because Liz Warren has kicked off the 2020 presidential race. 1.00

00:02:10.020 Here she is.

00:02:11.120 In our country, if you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to be able to take care

00:02:15.860 of yourself and the people you love.

00:02:18.020 That's a fundamental promise of America.

00:02:20.880 A promise that should be true for everyone.

00:02:23.880 Growing up in Oklahoma, that promise came through for me and my family.

00:02:28.140 After my older brothers joined the military and I was still just a kid, my daddy had a heart

00:02:32.900 attack and couldn't work.

00:02:34.240 My mom found a minimum wage job at Sears and that job saved our house and our family. 0.63

00:02:41.160 My daddy ended up as a janitor, but he raised a daughter who got to be a public school teacher,

00:02:46.560 a law professor, and a senator.

00:02:51.060 Elizabeth Warren.

00:02:52.120 Elizabeth Warren got to, what was it, something about she was raised by people who didn't have

00:02:58.180 a lot of money and then she got to become a senator. 0.99

00:03:00.060 And now, most importantly, she gets to run for president and complain about how terrible

00:03:04.820 that wonderful country is that gave her everything that she has and let someone begin in very modest

00:03:09.860 circumstances in life and rise to become a U.S.

00:03:12.640 senator.

00:03:12.840 This is what you're going to get.

00:03:15.060 You're going to get Hillary Clinton 2.0, Hillary Clinton 2 electric boogaloo. 0.97

00:03:21.760 That's going to be the race. 0.95

00:03:23.440 She's running the same playbook, hard, you know, trying to appeal to suburban people, trying

00:03:28.120 to appeal to, well, really her only appeal, I think.

00:03:32.060 And this is what's really going to hurt her, is that her only appeal is to effete white 0.88

00:03:36.880 liberals, especially women, I guess.

00:03:39.700 But it's just, it's so narrow, her appeal doesn't really, doesn't really reach that far.

00:03:45.900 Her main issue here, as you see in this opening, is income inequality.

00:03:51.420 And income inequality as a campaign issue really means envy.

00:03:56.240 She, it's, that's all it means.

00:03:57.340 It just means envy.

00:03:58.340 It just means someone has more than I have, and I want to have what they have, and I want

00:04:01.980 them to have less than they have, because that, I guess, will mean that I have more.

00:04:06.240 It's not really about everyone having more wealth.

00:04:08.940 It's not about poor people having more wealth.

00:04:11.340 It's not about the middle class having more wealth.

00:04:13.140 It's about the rich having less wealth, because that's how income inequality works.

00:04:17.540 Whenever anyone talks about income inequality, you see everybody is increasing in wealth.

00:04:22.780 GDP is increasing.

00:04:23.900 But the wealthy are getting more wealth relative to the poor people, according to her premise.

00:04:31.140 But she's not talking about how the poor are getting wealthier.

00:04:34.600 She's just talking about how awful it is that the rich are getting wealthier at a faster rate

00:04:38.440 than the poor are getting wealthier.

00:04:39.860 So this is going to be her issue.

00:04:41.160 I don't think it's really a winning issue.

00:04:43.360 Maybe if the economy totally tanks, it'll get some traction.

00:04:48.180 But as a campaign issue, the 2020 campaign is not going to be about what we would consider

00:04:55.040 traditional political issues.

00:04:56.820 The 2020 race is going to be about identity.

00:05:00.240 It's going to be about identity politics.

00:05:02.380 This is because, so far, we're not going to see a primary contest for the Republicans.

00:05:07.180 We're only going to see the primary on the left for the Democrats.

00:05:10.580 And they don't have issues.

00:05:11.880 They don't have unifying issues.

00:05:13.060 They might have little pet issues here and there, the Green New Deal or health care or

00:05:18.000 income inequality, but there's no unifying issue.

00:05:21.120 And because their entire politics now is predicated on identity, on intersectionality, on I'm more

00:05:28.680 of a woman, I'm more of an ethnic minority, I'm more of an oppressed victim group, that's

00:05:33.700 all that this is going to be.

00:05:35.380 And this is going to kill Warren in particular, because if the race is about identity, she loses 0.95

00:05:41.880 on what her actual identity is, which is a privileged old white woman, and she loses on her fake 1.00

00:05:47.620 identity because she pretends to be a Native American when she's not.

00:05:50.440 She's already basically toast because of this issue.

00:05:54.260 Here is Warren announcing her presidential intentions, and she's being interviewed, this is on CNN, and she has to dodge the

00:06:02.180 question about her identity.

00:06:03.980 What's your message to the Democratic primary voter who says, I love where Senator Warren stands on the issues, but I worry about

00:06:09.160 electability.

00:06:09.700 I worry about a campaign more about Native American ancestry than the middle class. 0.78

00:06:13.800 You know, look, I'm in this fight because I understand what's happening to working families.

00:06:21.560 I grew up in a paycheck-to-paycheck family, and my big chance was a commuter college that cost $50

00:06:28.440 this semester.

00:06:29.500 I run for office because I'm grateful down to my toes for the opportunities that were given to me, and I am determined

00:06:37.720 that we will give those same opportunities, not just to some of our kids, but to all of our kids.

00:06:43.880 I think when we fight for something positive, for something big, when we show, not just tell, but show, what

00:06:51.100 Democrats will get out there and make happen, I think that's how we win.

00:06:55.240 So that's the giant elephant in the room is they say, what do you say to people who like you, who like

00:07:01.360 your policy ideas, who like that you're a big liberal and a big left-winger, but they say you're not

00:07:06.220 electable because you're a fraud and you lied about your Native American ancestry for decades to advance 0.57

00:07:13.120 your career, and now you got called out on it and you don't have a good answer. And she doesn't have a good 0.97

00:07:17.340 answer. She doesn't answer that. She pivots and says, well, we're going to talk about hard scrabble.

00:07:23.380 Well, I'm so grateful. I'm blah, blah, blah. But she doesn't have an answer. She doesn't have an

00:07:28.300 answer. She's had months to come up with an answer. She's had years to come up with an answer. This

00:07:33.240 issue has plagued her now since what, 2012, 2014? And now President Trump, at least for two years,

00:07:40.840 over two years, has been calling her Pocahontas. If she had an answer on it, she would have come up 0.97

00:07:45.900 with it before she announced her intentions to run for president, but she doesn't. And this isn't

00:07:51.460 about Republican versus Democrat or right versus left. The left itself, the Democrat party is going

00:07:58.000 to do a much better job than we would ever do of attacking Liz Warren over this issue. And they'll

00:08:04.000 do a better job, one, because they have an incentive to do it. You're going to have a lot of people vying

00:08:07.920 for that presidential nomination, and this is her weak point, and they're going to attack her for it. 0.99

00:08:12.660 But two, identity politics matters much more to the left than it does to us. When we talk about

00:08:17.100 identity politics on the right, we usually joke about it. We joke about Pocahontas or Ocasio-Cortez

00:08:23.640 or whatever, pretending to be something that they're not. But we're kind of laughing. We don't

00:08:27.160 really care. It's just kind of a stupid line that they've used, and it's stupid for them to even care 1.00

00:08:32.320 about it so much. It's stupid to pretend to be a victim. It's stupid to want to be a victim. I don't 1.00

00:08:37.800 want to be a victim. I want to be a winner. It's stupid to gripe about privilege. I want privilege.

00:08:42.020 I want more privilege. Give me all the privilege I can have. I want my family and my friends to have

00:08:46.280 privileges. I want everybody to have privileges, and they already do. They were born in, and they

00:08:51.620 live in, the greatest country in the world at the greatest time of peace and prosperity in all of

00:08:56.540 human history. So that's a good thing. We shouldn't whine about that or complain. When the left talks

00:09:01.720 about it, though, they're really earnest. It really matters to them. And so she doesn't have that answer,

00:09:07.860 okay, that's going to hurt her. What people are not talking about, though, is she has this other

00:09:11.800 liability, which is she's even a fraud about the bootstrap stuff. So, okay, she obviously now is in

00:09:19.440 much better financial circumstances than she was when she was raised and brought up. But this whole

00:09:26.020 pull yourself up by your bootstraps, I went to a commuter college, and I paid my own way through

00:09:30.700 life is simply not true. Elizabeth Warren, a lot of people don't know this, Elizabeth Warren married

00:09:35.900 her high school sweetheart. She had two kids with her high school sweetheart. Her hubby put her through

00:09:41.240 college. Her hubby put her through law school. And then when she got a job at the University of

00:09:47.260 Houston Law Center, she met a visiting professor named Bruce Mann. She instantly divorced her 0.96

00:09:53.220 husband. This was a quickie divorce, not even she made the decision quickly to divorce him. The divorce

00:09:59.000 was over within 73 days. She divorces her husband, who put her through law school, the father of her two

00:10:04.600 children, within 73 days. And six months later, she's married to this visiting professor that she met at

00:10:10.280 law school, her old colleague at the University of Houston Law Center. This is a major sex scandal. 1.00

00:10:15.540 We'll get to sex scandals a little bit later when we talk about Mitt Romney's prattling on and moral 0.99

00:10:21.000 narrow-mindedness and moral idiocy in many ways. But this is a major sex scandal. And people haven't 0.99

00:10:29.480 brought it up yet. They will. The left will bring this up. Democrats will bring this up. And we know

00:10:36.320 Liz Warren is nervous about this because she's tried to change the story. So it's variously been

00:10:40.460 reported that she actually got divorced in 1978. And it was actually two years before she remarried

00:10:45.800 her husband. Court records show that isn't true, that she was actually divorced in 1980.

00:10:50.980 Why haven't we heard about this before? In part, it's because her ex-husband, Jim Warren,

00:10:55.760 died in 2003. So he's not been around for her political career. He's not been around to give his

00:11:01.280 side of the story. They will bring this up. Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Hillary,

00:11:09.880 whoever's going to run is going to bring this up. And she's going to have to answer for it. Because 0.87

00:11:14.640 let's say, I mean, the big issue is her Native American lying about her ancestry to push her 1.00

00:11:21.220 career. That's the big issue with the identity politics. But this bootstrapping stuff, this what

00:11:26.360 is tantamount to a sex scandal, is going to be the one that I think finishes her off. And if this is

00:11:32.100 the first you're hearing about it, I guarantee you this will not be the last. The identity politics,

00:11:36.880 by the way, is now also swinging back around and hitting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I spent one wild

00:11:42.340 night tweeting with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I was living rent-free in her head for a day.

00:11:48.360 We will get to that in a second. But first, let's make some more money with Ring. Ring's mission is to

00:11:53.060 make neighborhoods safer. Today, over a million people use the amazing Ring video doorbell to

00:11:58.060 help protect their homes. Ring knows that home security begins at the front door, but it does

00:12:03.460 not end at the front door. So now they're extending that same level of security to the rest of your

00:12:07.500 home with the Ring floodlight cam. Just like Ring's amazing doorbell, the floodlight camera is a motion

00:12:12.900 activated camera. And the floodlight that connects directly to your phone with HD video, two-way audio,

00:12:18.100 lets you know the moment anyone steps onto your property. This is very cool. You can see and speak to

00:12:22.360 visitors even set off an alarm right from your phone. Whether you're in the house or maybe you're

00:12:28.480 on a beach in Boca or who knows where, you can talk to them. It's two-way. You can upload it straight

00:12:33.240 to the cloud. So if they steal your doorbell, you already have the video. You can find who stole it.

00:12:38.360 It's really, really good. I love mine. I have given this to friends. It is just excellent.

00:12:44.300 It's the ultimate in home security. Save up to $150 off a Ring of Security kit when you go to

00:12:48.940 ring.com slash Knowles. K-N-O-W-L-E-S. Ring.com slash Knowles. K-N-O-W-L-E-S. What is it?

00:12:57.680 Ring.com slash Knowles. I had a wild time with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over my Christmas break.

00:13:07.320 So we haven't been on the air now in over a week. I flew down after Christmas. I was down in Florida

00:13:14.440 and I was just there with some friends. We were hanging around. I, you know, being slightly to

00:13:20.320 the right of Attila the Hun, I was exclusively referring to this time as hashtag beach week

00:13:24.700 in reference to Brett Kavanaugh's beach excursions with his pals in high school. And I actually,

00:13:31.540 I got this shirt that it was Brett Kavanaugh holding a beer at his confirmation hearing,

00:13:36.940 you know, through Photoshop. And it said, still like beer. I was just living in my own conservative

00:13:41.900 bubble. I was thinking, gosh, nothing could get better than this. I'm having

00:13:45.120 martinis. I'm sitting in the sun. I thought there's no way that Christmas could get any better

00:13:50.720 than this. And then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave me a, such a wonderful Christmas gift. I really,

00:13:57.860 I haven't thanked her publicly for it, but I really have to thank her for it. She tweeted out

00:14:02.440 a picture of her congressional plaque, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And she wrote on it,

00:14:08.980 don't be fooled by the plaques that we got. I'm still, I'm still Alex from the Bronx.

00:14:16.400 Like that song, like the, what is it? Jennifer Lopez song. I'm still Jenny from the block.

00:14:20.640 So she tweets that out and I look down, I see this, I'm sitting there, a couple of martinis in. I say,

00:14:25.500 oh, uh, you're not from the Bronx or you were from the Bronx when you were a little kid,

00:14:30.840 but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her entire life, beginning in kindergarten and when she was just

00:14:37.700 barely conscious, uh, lived in Yorktown Heights, which is a very wealthy suburb.

00:14:43.440 It's a town in Westchester County. And coincidentally, it's the town right next to the

00:14:47.160 town that I grew up in, except the town that she grew up in is much more homogenous, much less

00:14:52.320 diverse, much more affluent than the town that I grew up in. And, but it was right next door.

00:14:57.100 And we both moved there when I was really little. My parents were living in the city,

00:15:00.780 in a, in a, in a, uh, borough of the city. I think, uh, that was in Brooklyn. Alexandria was in

00:15:06.480 the Bronx and we both moved up to these towns. So you have a parallel life story, at least for

00:15:12.000 childhood. And, uh, so she, but she keeps pretending that she's from the Bronx, that she

00:15:16.780 grew up in the Bronx. She actually put this in her campaign website. She said that she commuted all

00:15:21.420 the time between the Bronx and her school in Westchester, which is not possible. She went to a

00:15:28.780 public school. You don't get to commute to public schools. You're districted into them. So she lived 0.77

00:15:33.740 there. She lived in Westchester in Yorktown Heights. And maybe she visited the Bronx as a kid.

00:15:40.780 I visited the Bronx as a kid all the time. I did my grocery shopping in the Bronx. That's where all

00:15:44.520 the good Italian food is. I started smoking cigars at the cigar roller in the Bronx. I, I probably

00:15:50.060 spent more time in the Bronx as a kid than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did, but who knows? I'm not sure.

00:15:55.560 So anyway, she tweets us out and I just started tweeting out and pointing out that she didn't

00:16:00.620 grow up in the Bronx. So I say, you grew up in Yorktown Heights. Uh, the, the average household

00:16:04.600 wealth of a, uh, you know, in, in Yorktown Heights in this suburb is $1.2 million. And I say this

00:16:14.420 because when you compare it, the average household wealth in the Bronx is about $400,000. So it's well

00:16:20.120 more than double, almost triple in Yorktown Heights where she grew up. So I'm tweeting out

00:16:24.700 all these things. People are getting very angry at me. They're saying, well, but it doesn't mean

00:16:28.880 she, that doesn't mean she's wealthy. It doesn't mean she had the average wealth. I said, well, 0.91

00:16:32.620 that's not the point. The point is she grew up in a way more affluent area than she's pretending

00:16:37.900 that she grew up. She had all the advantages of it. Excellent school system, sent her to whatever

00:16:42.600 college she wanted to go to. She could have, uh, really enjoyed a life of the mind. She had all of

00:16:48.160 the advantages that would set her up for that. So Alexander, I'm sitting there, I'm just kind of

00:16:52.140 having fun. And she responds to me. She had never responded to me before. Although I've

00:16:57.260 frequently pointed out that she's a total fraud about her upbringing. And so she responds and she

00:17:01.840 says, quote, in which a Republican, that's me, literally tries mansplaining my own childhood and

00:17:09.520 life to me. And in true mansplaining form, he's doing it wrong with an great degree of confidence.

00:17:17.180 It begs the question, is the GOP really sending us their best? Yeah, that'll show me that. So

00:17:24.440 for those of you who are listening that there are all of the fallacies in there, right? All of the

00:17:29.880 fallacies that you've got, it's ad hominem. She starts talking about mansplaining as though I'm

00:17:34.180 not allowed to have an opinion because I'm a man. If I were a woman, I can have an opinion. If I'm a

00:17:38.900 woman, I can point out the incontrovertible fact that this liar did not grow up in the Bronx. She 0.97

00:17:43.940 grew up in Yorktown Heights. But because I'm a man, I'm not allowed to do that. She then,

00:17:48.000 obviously there are all the misspellings she uses literally in a very emphatic way. And she's saying

00:17:53.340 that I'm explaining her own childhood to her. Well, no, I'm not. I'm explaining her own childhood

00:17:57.980 to everybody else that she's duping. She knows her childhood. She knows she didn't grow up in the

00:18:02.340 Bronx. She knows she grew up in a beautiful place with little deer jumping around and excellent,

00:18:07.620 heavily taxpayer funded public schools that was able to send her to a private college.

00:18:11.920 And she knows that, but she's lying to people. And so I'm explaining it to them. And then she also

00:18:17.840 says it begs the question, which she uses incorrectly. She uses, she says it begs the

00:18:23.400 question as if to say it raises the question, but that's not what that means. It means it to,

00:18:28.600 to beg the question is to presume the conclusion of your own argument. This is a sort of a minor

00:18:33.800 semantic point, but it is ironic because she's saying that I'm, I'm of some sort of inferior mind

00:18:39.840 when she is blatantly misusing the English language, but that's par for the course.

00:18:44.580 She's not the expert. And then she says, is the GOP really sending us their best?

00:18:49.140 I'm not an elected Republican politician. I hold no office. I'm not a member of Congress. I'm not a

00:18:54.260 senator. I'm not a governor. I'm not a mayor. She is the, she is the public servant here. She is the

00:18:59.560 one holding office. I am someone with a show who is pointing out that she is a liar and she instantly 1.00

00:19:05.220 responds. So this is how you know that she's scared. She says she grew up in the Bronx. I say

00:19:11.540 she did not grow up in the Bronx. Her response to that never denies the charge. She calls me a liar.

00:19:18.900 She says I'm mansplaining. She says that I'm not the best. She, okay, but she never says that she

00:19:24.920 grew up in the Bronx anymore. She can't say that now because it, because she didn't. So then, then I was

00:19:32.060 still living in her head. And this was obviously becoming a big thing on the internet. So then she

00:19:36.720 keeps trying to respond to this and retweeting things. And then she finally gives her better

00:19:41.000 response. This is actually the response that she should stick with, even though it's BS. It's,

00:19:45.660 it's much more plausible, which is quote, yes, as everyone knows, I grew up between two worlds

00:19:52.380 and experienced firsthand how a child's zip code can shape their destiny. It was scrubbing those

00:19:58.360 households, toilets with my mother that I saw and breathed income inequality. I decided 0.83

00:20:04.380 to make a difference. You, Michael, decided to do this. Okay. Where to begin?

00:20:14.040 Now she's making the claim that she scrubbed toilets with her mother. I don't know if she 1.00

00:20:18.040 did. I don't know if she didn't. Her father's an architect and she's living in Northern Westchester.

00:20:22.540 Maybe she did. We've never really heard about this before. This was not a plank of her campaign

00:20:27.140 for Congress in 2018. So I'm a little skeptical. If that's, if you're going to run on identity

00:20:31.680 politics, you'd probably talk about all of your life experience scrubbing toilets. We know that

00:20:35.940 she worked as a community organizer, basically. She was a professional activist and a bartender in 0.96

00:20:41.100 New York, living in Manhattan, by the way, not living in the Bronx and working in Manhattan. And so I,

00:20:46.060 I'm, I don't know, I'll, I'll reserve judgment. I just don't, don't have enough knowledge to call

00:20:51.060 that one way or the other. What I can point out though, is that she didn't grow up between two worlds.

00:20:57.740 She didn't. She grew up in Northern Westchester. She grew up in total privilege. She grew up in one 0.99

00:21:04.000 of the most privileged environments in the history of the world. She benefited immensely from those

00:21:10.080 privileges. I don't begrudge her those privileges. Good for her. I'm glad she got to enjoy them.

00:21:15.640 It's ridiculous now, however, that she's pretending that she's a victim when she's not. I grew up in

00:21:21.280 almost the same privilege, slightly less wealthy town. It's okay. It's not exactly, exactly the same,

00:21:26.120 but okay, fine. Almost the same privilege, almost in the same geographic area. Exactly.

00:21:32.180 The difference here, I don't pretend that I'm a victim. I'm really happy. I'm really pleased that,

00:21:38.080 that we live in this wonderful country of ours and that I got to grow up with those things.

00:21:42.000 She does. She lies about it. This is the only answer she's going to be able to muster this,

00:21:46.280 I grew up in two worlds thing, but, but she didn't. Um, she's a shrewd politician. She obviously, 1.00

00:21:52.040 she was able to upend this longtime incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley in that district. She was

00:21:58.160 able to get in there. She is pretty shrewd in that way. She should not be underestimated. This is her

00:22:03.980 weakness. I think some conservatives even have said to me, Oh, Michael, don't point out that she

00:22:09.280 is a total fraud on her biography. Just talk about why socialism is so bad. Just talk about why she's

00:22:14.720 wrong on the issues. You're not going to beat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by pointing out how awful 0.99

00:22:19.680 socialism is. Her assent is not about issues. Her assent is all about a very base appeal to

00:22:27.680 identity politics. That's what it's all about. If, if, if all we had to do is point out how awful

00:22:32.980 socialism is, it would be over. We, you'd point to Venezuela, you'd point to North Korea, you'd point

00:22:38.440 to China, you'd point to Russia, you'd point to everywhere, Cuba, you'd point to everywhere that

00:22:43.240 socialism has ever been tried and how awful it is and what it does, uh, how it destroys whole people.

00:22:49.680 How it destroys not only the economic life of people, but it's the spiritual life of people

00:22:53.760 as well. But that doesn't work. That doesn't work on the people who are following her. What,

00:22:59.940 what does work is that she's still, she's still Alex from the Bronx. I actually sort of feel bad

00:23:04.620 for Ocasio-Cortez because I don't think she tweeted that picture out. I assume it was her

00:23:08.420 social media intern. She probably knows that this is a really tricky issue for her. She knows that

00:23:13.660 during the campaign, when it was called out that she lied about her background, that she had to

00:23:17.320 change her campaign bio. She scrubbed it from her website. She knows this is a huge weakness

00:23:21.900 and whatever dumb social media intern took that photo, just walked her right into that trap. But 1.00

00:23:29.300 this is the, this is the trap. This is the wedge. This is where you separate her, a young darling of

00:23:35.340 the left, a fundraiser now for the Democrats, a future leader of that party possibly moving it

00:23:40.860 horribly, horrifically to the left. This is her weakness. This is how you separate her from her base. 0.98

00:23:46.500 And we should talk about it all the time. It's going to kill Liz Warren's presidential campaign 1.00

00:23:51.060 and it could really be the way to go in and stop Cortez. Because I think some people on the right,

00:23:56.400 they joke, they say, oh, she's not very intelligent. Oh, she's, she says stupid things or 1.00

00:24:00.660 she did upend Joe Crowley. She did make it to Congress. She has managed to get herself in the 1.00

00:24:07.140 newspapers all the time. People refer to her as a leader of the left. She is not to be totally

00:24:13.720 dismissed. She really could pose a threat because the ideas that she holds are awful, 0.99

00:24:18.800 anti-human ideas that would destroy economies that have destroyed whole scores of people and left

00:24:24.760 them enslaved all around the world, all throughout history. And we should take that seriously and we

00:24:29.600 should go after her with everything we've got. A lot more to get to because we're not just going

00:24:34.160 to talk about attacks from the left. We're going to talk about attacks from ostensibly the right,

00:24:38.120 Mitt Romney. Then we've got one of the most shocking conservative cultural moments of the

00:24:43.680 year. The New York Times chooses a shockingly conservative song to be its song of the year.

00:24:48.660 And then the absolute worst video that you all missed while you were hanging around with your

00:24:54.360 families on Christmas and New Year's. We'll get to all of that. But first, coming up tomorrow,

00:24:57.920 don't miss our next episode of Daily Wire backstage. Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, Elisha Krause,

00:25:03.720 Daily Wire God King Jeremy Boring, and little old me. We'll be ringing in the new year while

00:25:08.540 drinking tumblers of melted leftist snowflakes. So be sure to tune in. As always, only Daily Wire

00:25:14.820 subscribers get to ask the questions. Make sure to subscribe today. You get me, you get the Andrew

00:25:20.200 Klavan show, you get the Ben Shapiro show, you get to ask questions in the mailbag, you get all

00:25:23.580 these things. What day is it? Today is Wednesday. That means that tomorrow is the mailbag. If you

00:25:28.180 subscribe, you get to ask questions in the mailbag. Get your mailbag questions in. But this is really what

00:25:33.260 you want. This is what you, this is the, this is a nice local vintage of the Yorktown Heights

00:25:38.920 leftist tears. These are really good. They don't taste very much like the leftist tears from the

00:25:43.660 Bronx, actually. They taste very, very different. You should go check it, check it out. Get your leftist

00:25:48.500 here's Tumblr. We'll be right back with a lot more. Mitt Romney is kicking off the new year by

00:26:02.600 attacking the Republican president. That's our boy. That's Romney. That's the Mitt Romney we've all come

00:26:07.900 to know and expect. This is what he wrote in the Washington Post, a ridiculous, frivolous, 0.99

00:26:14.040 left-wing rag that used to have some respectability but certainly doesn't anymore. It makes the New 0.94

00:26:20.120 York Times look positively objective. He wrote, quote, the Trump presidency made a deep dissent in

00:26:26.420 December. Presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable and it is in this

00:26:31.720 province where the incumbent's shortfall has been most glaring. Trump has no character. That's what

00:26:39.060 he's saying. Don't you get it? He has no character. So does Mitt Romney have character? Because Mitt

00:26:47.540 Romney accepted the support of Donald Trump in 2012. Do you guys remember that? There are some

00:26:53.840 things that you just can't imagine happening in your life. This is one of them. Being in Donald

00:26:59.580 Trump's magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight. I'm so honored and pleased to have his

00:27:05.820 endorsement. And of course, I'm looking for the endorsement of the people of Nevada.

00:27:13.900 Oh, it's a delight, is it? It's such a privilege. It's a pleasure. It's an honor to have Donald Trump's

00:27:19.360 endorsement in 2012. Was Donald Trump a different person in 2012? Because as I recall, Donald Trump was

00:27:24.680 one of the people leading the birther question, the birther movement. I guess Hillary Clinton sort of

00:27:31.220 started it. But Donald Trump was leading that, was making a big media splash in 2011. So that was

00:27:37.500 already happening. That was all going on. And Mitt Romney, thank you, Donald. What an honor to be here

00:27:41.920 in your beautiful, wonderful hotel. But then he didn't like him. Do you remember when Mitt Romney

00:27:47.800 didn't like Donald Trump? Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree 1.00

00:27:55.340 from Trump University. His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies

00:28:05.820 would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be

00:28:10.740 president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city

00:28:16.800 on a hill. His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who work for them.

00:28:23.500 He inherited his business. He didn't create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about

00:28:30.000 Trump University? And then there's Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks and Trump Mortgage.

00:28:38.240 A business genius he is not. Wow, a whole lot changes in four years, doesn't it? Because Mitt Romney,

00:28:46.780 you know, the man of impeccable character, such an upright, honest broker, impeccable character man.

00:28:52.100 He, he loved Trump. He was so happy to have his endorsement. Trump did so well in business. That's

00:28:57.320 one of the reasons, by the way, why he really loved having his endorsement in 2012. Then he hated him.

00:29:02.720 It's not like he just said, I don't like Trump. It's not like he just said, I don't support Trump.

00:29:06.640 He went on a diatribe, a totally gratuitous diatribe about how he's a fraud. He's a charlatan. He's 1.00

00:29:13.800 worthless. His word is utterly worthless. So he does that. And then what happened when he ran for 0.99

00:29:19.780 Senate from Utah, Utah is his new state. I know you thought he was from Massachusetts or from

00:29:24.420 Michigan, or then I guess he was living in New Hampshire for a while when he ran for president.

00:29:27.460 But actually now Mitt Romney is from Utah, the totally upright, moral, honest broker. He lives

00:29:33.120 in Utah. And when he was trying to become the senator from Utah, he welcomed Donald Trump's

00:29:37.720 endorsement. That was what, um, five minutes ago. That was about two months ago. And he tweeted out,

00:29:42.380 quote, thank you, Mr. President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign,

00:29:46.840 I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah. So he basically just echoed the

00:29:51.080 same thing he said about Trump when he was being really nice, nice in 2012. And then what happens

00:29:54.700 just a few months later, he turns around and stabs him in the back in a completely unnecessary

00:29:58.700 article for the Washington Post. That's Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, that upright guy. If only Trump had

00:30:04.880 the character of a little quizzling, weakling, backstabbing Mitt Romney. If only he had that wonderful

00:30:12.560 character. This, by the way, isn't just with Trump, lest you think that only Donald Trump provokes this

00:30:17.560 sort of wishy-washy, dishonest, just series of lies from Mitt Romney. Uh, just remember this is when

00:30:24.440 Mitt Romney was running for the Senate against Ted Kennedy in, in Massachusetts. That was his old

00:30:29.760 state before. Now he lives in Utah. Uh, his, uh, he was asked about the time of Ronald Reagan and George

00:30:36.300 Bush in the 1980s, the great Reagan revolution. Where was our honest, dignified, full of integrity,

00:30:42.560 conservative leader, Mitt Romney then? Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan Bush.

00:30:47.580 I'm not trying to return to Reagan Bush. What a joke. What a joke this man is. I, I've never been

00:30:53.060 a huge Mitt Romney fan. I voted for him in the general election in 2012. Uh, that was after working

00:30:58.400 for two of his candidates or two of his rather two of his opponents in the 2012 Republican primary. I did

00:31:04.260 my best to deprive Mitt Romney of the nomination that year. And then ultimately, obviously he would,

00:31:09.260 he would have been better than Barack Obama, but what a joke to be lectured on, on politics,

00:31:15.200 on governance, on the presidency or, or on honesty or on integrity for Mitt Romney. Give me a break.

00:31:22.200 The guy, he's never met an office. He didn't want to run for. He's, he's been running for president

00:31:26.580 forever. He's been probably envisioning that since his father failed to win the presidency. Uh, he's,

00:31:34.100 he's invented Obamacare as the governor of Massachusetts. He, he's talks out of both

00:31:40.560 sides of his mouth. He ended up losing the 2012 election in part because Obama was a better

00:31:45.720 candidate, but in part because of major gaffes, in part because he called half of the country,

00:31:50.140 a bunch of, uh, degenerate, uh, people out on the dole. And he was caught on tape doing that.

00:31:55.580 He said 40, 47% are takers. And then, uh, which really hurt him in public opinion polls. And then

00:32:02.220 when Candy Crowley, during that debate with Barack Obama, uh, lied on, on television and said

00:32:08.380 that, uh, Obama said something when he didn't. And then she contradicted Mitt Romney lied about

00:32:14.300 it right on television. What did Romney do? He wilted. Could you imagine what president Trump

00:32:18.340 would have done? He would have won the presidency is what he would have done. And Mitt Romney didn't

00:32:21.720 do it. But now we have to hear these ridiculous odes about how Mitt Romney is. He's a good man. 0.92

00:32:26.840 This is the line. This is what we always hear about Donald Trump. Well, look, he's been pretty

00:32:31.600 conservative, but he's a bad guy, but he's really bad. And Mitt Romney, he's, he's kind of, he's a

00:32:38.380 really good guy. He's a really good guy with character. And Trump is a terrible degenerate

00:32:43.980 without saying that Mitt Romney is the worst person in the world, without saying that Donald Trump is 0.99

00:32:51.000 the best person in the world. Certainly neither of those statements are true. Character is a little

00:32:57.420 more complicated than this. Roger Kimball had a great piece in American greatness, uh, over, I think

00:33:02.660 it was over the weekend where he, he talked about a line from Cardinal Newman, John Henry Newman, a great

00:33:08.660 cardinal of the Catholic church, formerly an Anglican priest. Uh, he's going to become a saint this year.

00:33:13.720 And he pointed out a good man may make a bad King. Profligates have been great statesmen or magnanimous 0.53

00:33:21.200 political leaders. We hear sometimes this line, which is as, as Roger Kimball points out, mistranslated

00:33:27.040 from Heraclitus, that a man's character is his destiny. And that actually might not be entirely a

00:33:32.660 fair translation of it, but what is the point? Is the idea that if someone is a bad guy, he can't be a

00:33:38.140 good president. Oh, I don't know. I mean, does Donald Trump have good characters? I guess the

00:33:43.920 question that is being raised by the Romney types and by the anti, anti-Trump right as well as left.

00:33:52.120 And the, the answer to that question is compared to whom does he have absolutely good character? No,

00:33:58.920 but we look the same people who tell us that will certainly tell us that all fall short of the glory

00:34:03.500 of God. All has sinned. So the question is, does he have good character compared to whom? Does he

00:34:08.120 have good character compared to Bill Clinton? Yeah. Yeah, he does. Bill Clinton's accused of rape.

00:34:15.040 And, and I know the word credibly has been belabored a little bit in recent months,

00:34:19.060 but pretty credibly accused of rape in a way that Donald Trump has not. Does he have better

00:34:24.620 character than LBJ? Just to talk on the women thing, LBJ was a notorious womanizer. LBJ held 0.99

00:34:31.660 meetings with his advisors sitting on the toilet. He would pull out his genitals in public 1.00

00:34:37.560 frequently. He used awful language. He used awful slurs against people, racial slurs, 0.99

00:34:42.960 all of the sort. How about JFK? JFK is a famous womanizer. How about him? How about FDR died in

00:34:48.920 his mistress's arms? How about Grover Cleveland? The first Democrat president in the, I suppose,

00:34:55.860 in the 15 years after the civil war, I think that's right, taking out Andrew Johnson. He, he was caught

00:35:00.740 in a big sex scandal. He fathered a kid out of wedlock. One of the great Republican lines was,

00:35:06.140 mama, where's my pa? And actually the Democrat response to that when Grover Cleveland won the

00:35:12.220 election was, he's in the White House. Ha ha ha. So there was this debate going on even then. Of

00:35:17.460 course, Donald Trump has at least as good character as those guys. But what about even on these other

00:35:23.580 issues? Donald Trump, as a matter of what he's done in office, has done wonderful conservative

00:35:28.620 things. And he's kept his promises. He's been true to his word in, at least at a higher rate than

00:35:34.840 virtually any of his predecessors. Can the same be true of Romney? Can the same be said of Romney?

00:35:40.180 Romney invented Obamacare. That's what he did. He invented Obamacare. He was a bad candidate.

00:35:45.940 He lost. He kept losing. He attacks his own side. He takes an endorsement from someone. Then he

00:35:51.560 stabs him in the back. Then he says nice things about them. Again, he stabs them in the back. 0.98

00:35:54.700 But are you really going to tell me that Mitt Romney has universally better character than 0.94

00:36:00.480 Donald Trump? He doesn't. In some ways he does. And in some ways he doesn't. Because character

00:36:06.060 is complex in that way. Harry Reid right now, who's dying of pancreatic cancer,

00:36:13.080 so we have to say nice things about him because he's not doing very well. Let's not forget in the

00:36:19.960 glow of that upcoming hagiography that Harry Reid was a profligate liar throughout his entire life.

00:36:25.860 Harry Reid accused Mitt Romney of not paying any taxes. And he just lied about it. Everyone knew

00:36:30.760 he was just lying about it. Harry Reid is saying Trump is amoral, no conscience, worst president 0.89

00:36:35.120 ever. We're imbibing this line right now, not only from the left, but because of people like Mitt

00:36:42.000 Romney from the right as well. History changes very, very quickly. If you had asked even conservatives

00:36:48.780 in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan, according to many conservatives, was a dunce divorcee. And according 0.99

00:36:55.240 to the left, he emboldened racists and Nazis. That was until he became the greatest president of the

00:37:00.920 21st century. History changes very quickly. And I'm just a little sick of it. I'm all for pointing out

00:37:08.480 the myriad moral failings of Donald Trump. And there are many. He points them out too. He admits it as

00:37:14.400 well. But to hear it from Mitt Romney, who pretends to be this perfect guy, give me a break. Talk about

00:37:20.420 totally missing the point. And now we're going to have to suffer this guy as a U.S. senator. Great way to

00:37:26.840 start off the new year. You know what would have been a good idea, actually, is if instead we had gotten

00:37:31.160 a Republican senator from Utah. That would have been nice. But there is some good news as well, which is that

00:37:36.940 the New York Times, they chose a song of the year to round out 2018. And so you figure it's going to be

00:37:43.860 this crazy left-wing song. I think they sort of think it's a crazy left-wing song. I think the song

00:37:49.280 they picked is pretty conservative. The song is by the 1975. It's called Love It If We Made It. The

00:37:57.800 New York Times writes,

00:37:58.560 In a swirl of harp-like arpeggios over a stubborn beat, Maddie Healy rails at hypocrisy and 1.00

00:38:05.480 disinformation, complaining, modernity has failed us, and admits to individual ambition, despite it all,

00:38:12.960 a millennial's plight. Here's just a little clip of the song.

00:38:15.960 So you might not have been able to hear it. And obviously, it's not the most creative music,

00:38:42.460 musically speaking. I'm not going to be listening to this all the time. But the lyrics are pretty

00:38:46.600 interesting. Because on the one hand, on the surface level, it sounds like it's this left-wing

00:38:53.440 polemic. But in a really deeper way, I think it's actually articulating everything conservatives are

00:39:00.480 complaining about, about the culture. Everything conservatives are pointing out is wrong about

00:39:04.200 the culture and that we need to change. He says,

00:39:06.240 F-ing in a car, shooting heroin, saying controversial things just for the hell of it, 1.00

00:39:13.260 selling melanin, and then suffocate the black man. Start with misdemeanors, then we'll make a 1.00

00:39:18.700 business out of them. And we can find out the information, access all the applications that are

00:39:23.500 hardening our positions based on miscommunication. So you've got, he's talking about obviously the

00:39:28.540 opioid epidemic. He's talking about sort of childish, animalistic behavior, not just on drugs, but even

00:39:38.760 on sex. F-ing in a car, talking about promiscuity in that way. And then saying controversial things 0.88

00:39:46.040 just for the hell of it, just saying, just using words loosely. You know, words are, words are in the

00:39:53.660 act of creation, right? God says, let there be light and there is light. Christ is the word.

00:40:00.940 It breathes it out. You always hear the word of God. A man in his, in his act in the Garden of Eden

00:40:08.360 names all of the animals. Our politics is the use of political speech, is the use of persuasive speech

00:40:14.940 to have civil government. Animals have brute force, but human beings use our reason through our speech

00:40:20.960 to persuade each other of things and to have a civil society. He's talking about all this use,

00:40:26.340 loose language, selling melanin, selling melanin is one of the lyrics to talk about identity, to talk 0.97

00:40:32.760 about pimping out identity, pimping out your skin color, that, and then, and, and suffocate the black 0.98

00:40:39.840 man. What does that mean? I think the New York Times and the left read that line as, you know, police 0.99

00:40:44.580 killing black people or hurting, you know, hands up, don't shoot, or Eric Garner or any of those 0.96

00:40:50.840 people. But what, what does it also mean? What, what does it mean when we've heard on, on just a 0.99

00:40:56.380 couple of days ago, Kanye West talking about how he feels that as a black man, he is being bullied

00:41:01.440 into supporting one particular point of view. He feels that he's being forced into one particular

00:41:06.920 point of view. He's not allowed to use his speech, his reasonable speech. He's, he's being bullied

00:41:12.280 around. And then, uh, he talks about the information, accessing the applications. And then this line is

00:41:19.080 what really convinced me. This song is pretty conservative. It says, oh, F your feelings.

00:41:24.900 Truth is only hearsay. We're just left to decay. Modernity has failed us. This is what conservatives

00:41:30.480 think. We think modernity has failed us. We think that this modern project of divorcing our

00:41:36.580 civilization from the religious underpinnings that created the culture, that created the politics of 0.96

00:41:43.240 that civilization is a fool's errand. It's impossible. It has coarsened us. It has, it's the 0.99

00:41:48.840 reason why suicide is spiking. Anxiety is spiking. Depression is spiking. Younger generations are far 0.88

00:41:55.380 more likely than older generations to be suicidal, to be hooked on depression pills. There is a real

00:42:01.640 cultural malaise, even in the midst of a material wealth and a material growth. And it's because the

00:42:08.020 civilization has decayed spiritually. It has decayed culturally, and it is nearly rotten to the core.

00:42:15.500 Modernity has failed us. And I'd love it if we made it. Yes, I'd love it if we made it. Yes,

00:42:19.800 I'd love it if we made it. Next, next stanza. And poison me, daddy, the drugs, talking about putting

00:42:26.720 drugs in your veins. I got the Jones right through my bones. Jonesing, meaning I'm craving the drugs. 0.99

00:42:32.780 And Jones, there's also a sort of, because of the craving and the imagery of the bones,

00:42:36.720 there's a sexual image here too. Jonesing for jumping my bones. Write it on a piece of stone.

00:42:42.360 A beach of drowning three-year-olds. What does this evoke? This evokes this migrant crisis. 0.97

00:42:48.480 You've got people pouring in. And on the left-wing interpretation of this, it's the tragedy is that

00:42:54.900 these awful conservatives won't knock down national borders and let the kids in. Maybe the crisis is

00:43:00.660 those awful incentives in the first place, pulling people in, drawing people to commit

00:43:06.560 these acts which are legally and intellectually insupportable. You couldn't possibly have a

00:43:13.980 nation with open borders. It would cease to be a nation. Rest in peace, little peep. That's a guy

00:43:20.060 who died of drugs. The poetry is in the streets. Jesus save us. Modernity has failed us. This line,

00:43:29.000 I don't know how, you can read other lines in other ways. The kid drowning, maybe you could read in

00:43:33.220 another way or the saying outrageous things just for the hell of it, you could read in a different

00:43:38.200 way. But look at that juxtaposition. Jesus save us. Modernity has failed us. I'm saying modernity,

00:43:44.320 this idea of breaking our civilization away from its religious underpinnings, has failed. Jesus save us.

00:43:50.940 Save us. Not just the religious foundation, but the incarnate reason. There's the F your feelings.

00:43:56.980 Truth is only hearsay. And then what he's saying is Jesus, the way and the truth and the life save us.

00:44:02.360 That's our only antidote against modernity. Tell me something I didn't know. Consultation,

00:44:08.820 degradation, fossil fueling, masturbation, immigration, liberal kitsch. He's not just 0.99

00:44:14.880 talking about left-wing issues. He's mocking the left here. Immigration, liberal kitsch. There's a lot

00:44:20.500 of liberal kitsch. What's an example of this? Kneeling on a pitch. Kneeling on a pitch,

00:44:24.820 which is what Colin Kaepernick is doing in his absurd protest against the United States.

00:44:30.860 Then they quote Donald Trump. I moved on her like a female dog. So he's getting the attack in on 0.96

00:44:37.820 Trump there. But I think a lot of people would be happy to criticize President Trump in context.

00:44:44.100 They would be able to criticize the rhetoric, the way that we speak to each other, the way that we

00:44:48.340 interact with the culture. Of course, that's not to attack Trump for what he's doing. He's doing what

00:44:52.320 he's got to do in a culture where he's got to do it. But it is to bemoan the degradation of that

00:44:57.380 culture and to say, modernity has failed us. Jesus, save us. Unrequited house with seven pools.

00:45:04.140 It goes on and on and on. And I'd love it if we made it. And I'd love it if we made it.

00:45:09.840 But modernity has failed us. This, I mean, the song goes on and on and on. I'm really pleased that

00:45:16.980 the New York Times missed out what this song means. And I think, I think actually maybe the

00:45:22.780 left is sensing something too, which we are sensing, which is something has gone seriously

00:45:28.060 wrong here. And now it's not just that taxes are too low for wealthy people. It's not just

00:45:34.000 whatever, that they don't want to be fighting some war. They want a different war over that war.

00:45:38.040 That's not just that. They're sensing something's rotten with the culture. Something's rotten in our

00:45:43.880 spiritual life. And I think they're inching closer to what that might be. Maybe it's that

00:45:48.480 modernity has failed us. Maybe Jesus has to save us. I'd love it if we made it. Yes, I'd love it if

00:45:53.380 we made it. And I'm hopeful looking into 2019. I hope you are too. We've got a lot more tomorrow,

00:45:57.660 a lot more to get to that we can't get to. But that's just the way it is. Glad to be back. I missed

00:46:01.280 you all very much. I hope you had a very good Christmas and New Year. And I'll see you tomorrow.
