The Michael Knowles Show

00:00:00.000 77-year-old Bernie Sanders is officially throwing his hat in the 2020 U.S. presidential race.

00:00:06.920 Or is it the 2024 U.S. presidential race?

00:00:09.880 Or is it the 2020 USSR general secretary race?

00:00:13.720 His memory these days just isn't what it's.

00:00:15.600 Ah! Long live the revolution, comrades!

00:00:18.280 We will analyze what Bernie's entrance means for the Democrat Party.

00:00:22.540 Then, the radical left goes after the Duke, John Wayne, 40 years after John Wayne died.

00:00:27.920 And a feminist pastor melts down purity rings to give a genital-shaped statue to Gloria Steinem.

00:00:35.620 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:44.440 Lots to get to today, but first, let's make a little money, honey, with movement.

00:00:49.100 You know, it's that time. It's that time to talk about my favorite watch.

00:00:52.820 Movement. You know them. They are founded on the belief that style shouldn't break the bank.

00:00:56.260 They've sold almost 2 million watches worldwide by bringing quality designs at fair prices.

00:01:01.800 So, I love this style the most.

00:01:04.000 This is the coolest style by far.

00:01:05.620 It is the revolver. This is the Atlas.

00:01:07.740 I just love—I get more compliments on this watch than any other watch I have ever owned.

00:01:12.220 It's super cool, super sleek.

00:01:14.800 It's like a retro kind of case on it, but a very modern, sleek, minimalist design.

00:01:20.060 It just looks great. These guys really know what they're doing.

00:01:22.420 They now have a mechanical watch, the Arc line, which is super cool.

00:01:26.880 So, if you're like a real watch fiend and you like the inner workings of watches, that's an automatic movement watch.

00:01:32.300 Really cool at a great price.

00:01:34.600 Movement watches are all about looking good while keeping it simple.

00:01:37.600 This is a crowdfunded startup.

00:01:39.660 It was started by College Dropouts.

00:01:41.800 Now, they've sold watches in over 160 countries.

00:01:44.620 They start at just $95.

00:01:45.600 You're looking at $400 to $500 if you were to buy this in a traditional department store, but these guys take it right to you.

00:01:52.240 Clean design, minimal, really quality products.

00:02:12.780 We knew this was inevitable.

00:02:17.320 Bernie Sanders has entered the 2020 presidential race.

00:02:20.900 This is a wonderful day.

00:02:22.360 I can't wait.

00:02:22.980 One of the most colorful Bolshevik totalitarian characters of the 2016 race.

00:02:29.300 He's now back in for 2020.

00:02:32.320 He's even older.

00:02:33.620 He's even crazier.

00:02:34.600 Here is Bernie Sanders announcing through a big Twitter-based video ad

00:02:41.400 his race for the presidency.

00:02:43.740 Real change never takes place from the top on down, but always from the bottom on up.

00:02:54.860 Bernie Sanders' health care for all idea is gaining steam.

00:02:59.140 Free tuition.

00:03:01.060 Free college tuition.

00:03:02.180 Free tuition champion, Senator Bernie Sanders.

00:03:05.780 Bernie Sanders added,

00:03:07.100 The greatest threat to national security is climate change.

00:03:10.340 The future of our planet is at stake.

00:03:13.440 Sanders taking on Amazon.

00:03:16.140 Bernie Sanders has been consistent hammering about income inequality.

00:03:19.260 Nobody in America who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.

00:03:25.020 So our economy is rigged.

00:03:27.240 We have a campaign finance system which is corrupt.

00:03:30.940 Sanders leading the charge to stop more against Yemen.

00:03:34.440 The first time ever the Senate has voted to end an unauthorized war.

00:03:39.040 The fight against injustice has been the work of his life.

00:03:42.540 The work of his life.

00:03:43.980 Now, actually, there's been very little work in Bernie Sanders' life

00:03:46.880 because he's never held a job in the private sector.

00:03:50.720 Bernie Sanders has worked for the government since 1981.

00:03:54.760 And even before that, he was kind of bumbling around,

00:03:57.920 occasionally holding a job here or there.

00:03:59.980 He was mostly a professional activist.

00:04:01.660 This guy, as much as one can in life make it without ever holding a job,

00:04:08.060 Bernie Sanders has never held a job.

00:04:10.260 So there isn't very much work to his life.

00:04:12.840 And by the way, he's worked most of his life in the government.

00:04:15.840 I actually don't even attack that per se.

00:04:20.740 Look, plenty of people have done plenty of good work in the government.

00:04:23.760 Winston Churchill spent most of his life working for the government,

00:04:26.620 and he did a lot of good work.

00:04:27.860 The trouble is that Bernie Sanders has not only not accomplished anything in the private sector,

00:04:32.400 he has also not accomplished anything in the public sector.

00:04:35.600 He has never accomplished anything.

00:04:37.640 He has been in the government since 1981.

00:04:41.140 He's almost been in the government now for 40 years.

00:04:44.280 What does he have to show for it?

00:04:45.900 The closest thing that he can list as an accomplishment in 40 years of government service

00:04:50.600 is that he voted to end some of our support for the Saudi Arabian war in Yemen,

00:04:58.440 which, by the way, didn't work.

00:05:00.940 So the thing he's referring to, you've probably never even heard of this story

00:05:03.360 because it's a nothing story.

00:05:05.420 Bernie Sanders voted to invoke the War Powers Act of 1973

00:05:10.860 to cut off the ability of the White House to give military aid to Saudi Arabia for their war in Yemen.

00:05:18.920 Then the House didn't vote on that, and then it went nowhere.

00:05:23.580 That's it.

00:05:24.320 That's his biggest accomplishment.

00:05:26.140 He voted based on a law that was passed in 1973 in the Senate

00:05:31.880 to tell the White House to stop giving extra money to the Saudis

00:05:37.060 for the Saudis to take care of a conflict they have in Yemen,

00:05:40.540 and then the House didn't vote for it, and it went nowhere.

00:05:42.740 The biggest accomplishment in his public life.

00:05:45.860 Otherwise, what else does this tell us?

00:05:47.900 It checks all of the boxes.

00:05:49.420 Obviously, he harps on climate change or global warming or global cooling

00:05:53.800 or whatever euphemism you want to use for it.

00:05:56.240 This is essential.

00:05:57.700 This is going to separate the wheat from the chaff in the Democrat primary.

00:06:00.640 It is not possible to run for president as a Democrat in 2020

00:06:05.580 without centering your campaign on climate change.

00:06:10.540 This is for a couple of reasons.

00:06:11.960 One, it's the left's religion.

00:06:14.140 It fulfills all the categories of religion.

00:06:16.220 It answers some of their religious longings to save the planet for original sin,

00:06:22.220 for penance, for indulgences.

00:06:24.420 It's for transcendent reality.

00:06:28.060 That is what the purpose of global warming is in the left-wing psychology.

00:06:35.000 But in the left-wing politics, in the actual implementing of a political agenda,

00:06:38.960 the reasons global warming or climate change is central

00:06:41.680 is because it very conveniently gives the left everything they've always wanted in politics.

00:06:48.080 Collectivist economics, nationalization of various industries,

00:06:51.720 massive expansion of the federal government, massive diminishment of individuals' rights in America,

00:06:59.060 a basic overturning of our political tradition and our democratic republic,

00:07:04.760 a far greater expansion of government power and bureaucratic power

00:07:11.660 over the rights of state governments, local governments, and individuals and the family.

00:07:16.020 This is what they want, so that's what he's going to focus on.

00:07:18.780 Okay, that's fine.

00:07:20.340 It's the evidence, by the way, that the Democrat Party is not focusing on any

00:07:24.920 substantive issues in 2020.

00:07:28.440 They're not talking about the economy.

00:07:29.920 They're not talking about foreign policy.

00:07:32.040 They're not talking about entitlement spending or the national debt or even trade.

00:07:38.000 They're talking about the fantasy of the sun monster coming in and destroying the whole world

00:07:43.120 unless we vote for them and then we'll save the world.

00:07:46.580 So they're going to center this campaign around fantasy and it's going to produce terrific results.

00:07:52.240 I cannot wait for that debate stage where they're all arguing with one another

00:07:56.260 over whatever fever dream they had the night before about the end of the world

00:08:00.720 and it's going to happen in 10 years.

00:08:02.080 No, it'll happen in 8 years.

00:08:03.380 No, it'll happen tomorrow and then it'll happen tomorrow.

00:08:06.560 We'll all wait for the world to end and it won't end.

00:08:08.760 The other thing that is so quintessentially leftist and Democrat about Bernie's announcement ad

00:08:15.680 is the focus on slogans.

00:08:18.560 So the very first thing in the ad it says,

00:08:20.680 Change always happens from the bottom up, not the top down.

00:08:26.480 And the left loves slogans.

00:08:29.400 They focus all the time on slogans that sound like they mean something but don't mean anything at all.

00:08:35.480 So during the Bush years, you heard no war for oil.

00:08:41.900 Meaning the Iraq war, we fought the Iraq war to steal a lot of oil from Iraq.

00:08:45.940 Never mind that we never got the oil.

00:08:48.640 We didn't get good contracts for the oil.

00:08:51.420 We are still in the Middle East.

00:08:53.560 We went to Afghanistan, not a whole lot of oil in Afghanistan.

00:08:57.760 Never mind that.

00:08:58.760 They say no war for oil as if the very fact of their saying this slogan would create the reality that is only in their fantasy.

00:09:08.620 Bernie says, Change never happens from the top down.

00:09:11.200 Of course it does.

00:09:12.400 The American Revolution happened from the top down.

00:09:14.660 You had extraordinarily elite, well-educated, brilliant, wealthy men with a lot of leisure time crafting this republic.

00:09:24.060 And they were only able to craft this republic because they were extraordinarily well-educated and they were the elite.

00:09:30.680 So they had all read their Cicero all the way up to John Locke.

00:09:34.880 They were able to craft this brilliant system of government.

00:09:37.220 They were extraordinarily learned.

00:09:38.740 They wrote thousands of letters.

00:09:41.100 They were just brilliant men.

00:09:43.440 How did the revolution begin?

00:09:45.340 It began not because of these popular uprisings exactly.

00:09:49.180 It began because different colonial delegations came together and said, we need to form our own government.

00:09:56.160 There are countless more examples of this, of change happening from the top down.

00:10:00.220 It is funny that our own country began that way.

00:10:03.620 And Bernie Sanders, obviously not the most historically literate person, isn't aware of that.

00:10:08.400 He then takes the slogans up to 11 in the next part of the ad.

00:10:12.580 Jobs and education, not jails and incarceration.

00:10:17.580 We are not going to retreat on women's rights.

00:10:23.300 Jobs and education, not jails and incarceration.

00:10:28.560 What?

00:10:29.360 What on earth does that mean?

00:10:32.160 Jobs and education, not jails.

00:10:34.720 As though jobs and education are opposed to jails and incarceration.

00:10:39.400 If you have jobs and education, you can't possibly have jails and incarceration and vice versa.

00:10:44.860 Let me give you a counter example.

00:10:47.100 Dylan Roof, in the year 2015, shot up a black church in Charleston because he hated black people and wanted to start a race war.

00:10:55.220 So now he's in jail.

00:10:57.740 Should we take him out of jail and give him a job and put him in school?

00:11:02.000 Because we don't want jail and incarceration.

00:11:05.220 Bernie just told us, no jail and incarceration.

00:11:07.780 Instead of jail and incarceration, we're going to have jobs and education.

00:11:11.180 So we should take a mass murdering racist bigot out of jail and give him a job and education, right?

00:11:19.040 Unless, hold on, and I'm just free balling here.

00:11:21.260 Maybe jobs and education are not opposed to a criminal justice system.

00:11:28.180 Actually, maybe jobs and education require a criminal justice system to maintain order in a society and keep civil society going.

00:11:37.780 Just a thought.

00:11:38.460 It's one of those slogans because it rhymes.

00:11:41.340 Leftists think that it means something.

00:11:43.420 It does.

00:11:43.780 It's like saying Ted Bundy, who's a serial killer, right?

00:11:48.100 There's that show about him now.

00:11:49.540 Serial killer, targeted women, crazed misogynist, necrophile, murdered a bunch of young women.

00:11:57.280 He shouldn't have ever been in jail.

00:11:58.760 Certainly shouldn't have been killed, right?

00:12:00.000 We should put jobs and education.

00:12:01.920 We should stop punishing criminals and actually give them jobs and products of the welfare system.

00:12:09.200 That's the solution, right?

00:12:10.440 Ted Bundy and Dylann Roof.

00:12:12.180 Give them a job.

00:12:12.900 Put them in school.

00:12:13.560 It's justice.

00:12:14.560 Justice according to Bernie Sanders.

00:12:16.420 Or we can put workers in jobs and students in school and criminals in prison.

00:12:23.000 That's my radical campaign pledge.

00:12:26.100 That's my platform that I'm running on.

00:12:29.040 Jobs, it would be like saying, jobs and education, not hot dogs and vacation.

00:12:34.740 Well, it rhymes.

00:12:37.800 So I guess, does that, did he say something that meant anything?

00:12:40.960 It does rhyme.

00:12:42.120 Jobs and education, not hot dogs and vacation.

00:12:44.360 That has the same semantic value as jobs and education, not jails and incarceration.

00:12:50.160 We've got a lot more to get to.

00:12:51.340 We've got to get to that next slogan.

00:12:52.440 But first, let's talk about Joybird.

00:12:54.600 Have you heard about the revolution in online furniture shopping and Joybird, the company behind it all?

00:12:59.360 Well, Joybird believes you should never settle when it comes to your home furnishings, that you should always have the freedom to be boldly original.

00:13:05.300 From idea to reality, they empower you to create the space and furniture that brings you joy.

00:13:11.080 I love Joybird.

00:13:11.980 I have two beautiful pieces of furniture from Joybird.

00:13:15.120 Everything about it is meticulous.

00:13:18.240 We worked with Joybird.

00:13:19.880 They designed the furniture.

00:13:21.060 It's exactly right.

00:13:22.620 I've got them now, two pieces in my little reading nook.

00:13:25.720 And whenever people come over to my home, they always complement that furniture, which is a little offensive to me because I have other furniture in my apartment that I also spent time thinking about.

00:13:35.200 But in that case, I was really the one driving it, and they never complement that furniture.

00:13:39.240 It's always Joybird, though.

00:13:40.640 It's just really high-quality stuff, really sleek, and they just take a lot of care.

00:13:45.380 It's meticulous.

00:14:16.600 So Bernie has another slogan.

00:14:18.940 He says, we're not going to retreat on women's rights.

00:14:22.580 What he's talking about is abortion.

00:14:24.580 He's saying, we're not going to retreat on killing babies.

00:14:29.500 Now, he has to use the euphemism women's rights.

00:14:32.900 Now, it's obviously not rights for the half million baby girls that are killed every year in the womb.

00:14:38.020 What happened to their women's rights?

00:14:39.740 None.

00:14:40.320 Nothing.

00:14:41.100 He refuses to protect those.

00:14:42.400 Because if the way that you know that the left is missing the mark, the way that they know that they're misleading you, the way that you know that they're trying to deceive you is they always use euphemisms.

00:14:55.400 And sometimes they have them rhyme.

00:14:57.460 Sometimes they're in slogans.

00:14:58.680 But it's those euphemisms.

00:14:59.900 We're not going to retreat on women's rights.

00:15:01.300 How about we advance the rights of the half million baby girls who were killed in the womb each year?

00:15:05.960 Bernie Sanders can't talk about that.

00:15:07.400 And then, then, after he's talking about how we have to kill a lot of babies, he then goes back and says that we have to stop this awful, inhumane child detainment policy of the Trump administration.

00:15:20.720 Sanders pushing a bold agenda that includes protecting doctor recipients and comprehensive immigration reform.

00:15:27.120 You don't rip little children away from the arms of their mother.

00:15:30.720 What you do is you rip them out of the womb, and then you leave them on the table while the doctor and the mother talk about what they want to do with the kid, and then you kill it.

00:15:39.920 I was just talking to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, and he told me, you do not rip the babies out of their mother's arms.

00:15:47.020 You rip them out of the womb.

00:15:49.120 He didn't put that part got left on the cutting room floor of Bernie Sanders' ad.

00:15:52.360 This, this one, this on the babies, the little kids at the border, this is a boilerplate Democrat talking point.

00:15:59.680 Don't separate the kids from their parents or the coyote random adults that are carrying them and trafficking them across the border who are not related to the kids at all.

00:16:09.960 Don't talk about that one.

00:16:12.920 Even Bernie Sanders won't go all the way on this point.

00:16:15.340 He says it's terrible to rip the kids from their parents' arms.

00:16:18.540 Okay, why do we rip the kids from their parents' arms?

00:16:22.420 We do it because of an agreement, the Flores settlement, from the Clinton administration from 1997.

00:16:28.980 The Flores settlement said that you can't imprison children.

00:16:32.500 So the parents break the law.

00:16:34.540 They cross into our country illegally, foreign nationals here illegally, not at points of entry.

00:16:39.260 They run across the border.

00:16:41.340 You then take the parents.

00:16:43.180 You have to hold them in the criminal justice system because they've broken the law.

00:16:46.620 But the parents are with the kids.

00:16:49.160 So can you bring the kids into the jails as well?

00:16:52.200 No.

00:16:53.480 What the courts decided was that the kids need to be in a nicer place.

00:16:56.860 So then the kids are held in a separate facility.

00:16:59.380 Health and Human Services runs those facilities.

00:17:01.800 So, okay, now you've got to separate the parents.

00:17:04.140 What is the alternative?

00:17:06.120 You have two alternatives.

00:17:07.400 Either you imprison the kids with their parents or you let everybody go.

00:17:12.140 And you have functionally open borders.

00:17:15.420 And as long as some coyote has got a kid under his arms, he's not arrested.

00:17:19.380 He's allowed to come into the country illegally.

00:17:21.480 He has the opportunity to access welfare, all of our services, do whatever he wants.

00:17:26.360 No checks.

00:17:27.540 No health checks.

00:17:28.680 No criminal background checks.

00:17:30.200 We don't know if he's got drugs on him.

00:17:31.680 Nope.

00:17:32.640 Let him go.

00:17:33.880 Those are the two options.

00:17:35.360 Imprison kids or open borders.

00:17:37.120 And even Bernie Sanders, even radical Bernie Sanders, will not go all the way there.

00:17:42.460 And this brings us to another point, which is that Bernie Sanders is a real politician.

00:17:48.220 We forget this.

00:17:48.940 We think he's the outsider.

00:17:50.240 No, he's been a professional politician for 40 years.

00:17:53.300 And one of the hallmarks of being a politician is he takes credit for things that other people do.

00:17:57.960 ...announcement from Amazon.

00:17:59.360 Amazon will raise its minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour.

00:18:03.320 350,000 workers.

00:18:04.920 Thousands of workers at Disney World will get raises.

00:18:08.340 It's a victory for Bernie Sanders.

00:18:10.220 It's a victory for all workers.

00:18:13.660 It's a victory for Bernie Sanders.

00:18:15.920 Why?

00:18:16.400 I don't know.

00:18:17.520 What did he do?

00:18:18.560 He's not, doesn't run Amazon.

00:18:20.540 He doesn't work for Amazon.

00:18:21.620 He pressured them.

00:18:22.900 Okay, so fine for him.

00:18:23.860 He's taking credit for other people's accomplishments.

00:18:25.820 That's the socialist way.

00:18:27.340 That's the Bernie Sanders way.

00:18:29.300 Now, he's talking specifically about the minimum wage.

00:18:32.600 What minimum wage does Bernie Sanders suggest we have?

00:18:39.460 A very, very, very small percentage of workers make the minimum wage in this country.

00:18:44.300 The minimum wage is not designed to support a family of four.

00:18:48.020 The minimum wage is not designed to be what you make at age 70.

00:18:51.940 The minimum wage is designed specifically for young kids, people who are working their way up out of poverty, people who are just getting started in the workforce.

00:19:02.820 That is what the minimum wage is for.

00:19:04.660 You're not supposed to be there forever.

00:19:06.140 Eventually, you're supposed to move up.

00:19:07.580 And the vast majority of Americans make more than the minimum wage.

00:19:11.100 But how does he think the minimum wage works?

00:19:14.980 What does he suggest?

00:19:16.220 Because right now, they're talking about fight for 15, $15 an hour minimum wage.

00:19:20.580 But why stop at 15?

00:19:22.820 Why shouldn't we make the minimum wage $20 an hour?

00:19:26.800 It's certainly better.

00:19:27.840 It's very hard to live on $15 an hour.

00:19:30.240 Probably a lot easier to live on $20 an hour.

00:19:32.760 Or actually, why stop there?

00:19:34.360 Why not make the minimum wage $30 an hour?

00:19:37.420 For $30 an hour, you can live really pretty well on 30.

00:19:40.420 Well, except, what if you've got three or four kids?

00:19:43.540 And $30 an hour?

00:19:44.660 Maybe.

00:19:45.180 Okay, I'll tell you what.

00:19:46.280 Let's make the minimum wage $100 an hour.

00:19:50.100 Why not?

00:19:51.360 You're just raising the wage.

00:19:53.300 You're just giving more money to workers.

00:19:55.100 What could possibly go wrong?

00:19:56.660 Oh, a lot could go wrong.

00:19:57.740 Because the minimum wage destroys jobs.

00:20:00.140 There is a cost to the minimum wage.

00:20:02.840 I know this is shocking to socialists who think money falls out of the gumdrop trees.

00:20:08.000 But costs have costs.

00:20:09.760 So when you raise labor costs, that has a cost.

00:20:13.460 That has an effect on the labor market.

00:20:15.260 It has an effect on employers' behavior.

00:20:17.540 So there was a study.

00:20:18.820 There was a comprehensive 182-page summary of research done over the last two decades,

00:20:24.820 put together by economists David Newmark at UC Irvine,

00:20:27.500 and William Washer at the Federal Reserve Board.

00:20:29.500 It determined that, this is a meta-analysis of all these other studies,

00:20:34.200 85% of the best research points to a loss of jobs following increases to the minimum wage.

00:20:42.260 Of course this makes sense.

00:20:44.600 Raising the minimum wage doesn't mean that all of a sudden employers have more money to use.

00:20:49.380 Okay, well they raised the minimum wage, so now we just have more money magically to pay workers.

00:20:53.440 No, when you raise the minimum wage, you raise the labor costs for employers.

00:20:58.780 So what does that mean?

00:20:59.580 You can either reduce the number of workers, so you keep the same costs of labor,

00:21:04.400 so you just lay people off,

00:21:05.920 or you can go out of business, I guess that's another option,

00:21:10.860 or you can shift more money from labor into capital investments.

00:21:14.420 So this happened in McDonald's.

00:21:16.300 They raised the minimum wage in Seattle, I believe it was,

00:21:18.960 and all of a sudden you see workers getting laid off,

00:21:21.300 and they start investing in those electronic ordering kiosks,

00:21:25.400 where now you can go up and order your Egg McMuffin on a kiosk.

00:21:28.540 Okay, great.

00:21:30.140 So now some people get a $15 minimum wage,

00:21:32.960 the other guy is laid off,

00:21:34.020 because there is no such thing as a minimum wage.

00:21:37.020 We might create statutes that mandate a certain minimum wage.

00:21:41.640 The true minimum wage is $0 an hour,

00:21:44.760 because you do not have a right to a job.

00:21:47.760 You don't have the right to some employer just giving you money for no reason.

00:21:53.400 Another, there was an American Action Forum study,

00:21:56.220 showed that the fight for $15 minimum wage kills 261,000 jobs

00:22:00.740 held mostly by poor, undertrained, undereducated, young suburban millennials,

00:22:05.000 and minority teens in the first phase.

00:22:07.600 But once the fight for $15 is implemented across the country,

00:22:11.100 it will cost our economy 1.7 million jobs.

00:22:16.320 Bernie Sanders doesn't mention that.

00:22:17.680 It's just all vacuous, vapid slogans.

00:22:21.420 And then he closes us all off on the most vacuous slogans of all.

00:22:26.220 Brothers and sisters, we have a lot of work in front of us.

00:22:30.420 If we are prepared to stand together,

00:22:37.900 there is no end to what the great people of our nation can accomplish.

00:22:45.420 So then he just ends.

00:22:50.600 The last 15 seconds of this ad says nothing.

00:22:53.100 We need to stand together.

00:22:55.120 We will accomplish things.

00:22:57.540 We'll do, well, it'll be really good.

00:23:00.240 And stand together and be,

00:23:03.040 and hot dogs and vacation.

00:23:05.000 That was from the last slogan that he was using.

00:23:06.860 This shows you that the myriad comparisons from the mainstream media

00:23:13.320 between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are wrong.

00:23:17.400 They don't really make sense.

00:23:20.280 You heard this all throughout 2016.

00:23:21.940 Well, really, Bernie is a lot like Trump.

00:23:23.580 Actually, President Trump somewhat cynically embraced this comparison

00:23:28.120 in an attempt to turn Democrat voters off to Hillary Clinton.

00:23:31.780 But the comparison does not really hold.

00:23:34.740 Donald Trump is a political outsider.

00:23:36.740 He never held public office until two and a half years ago.

00:23:41.020 I'm sorry, no, actually, I guess two years ago.

00:23:42.720 Two years ago and one month was when he was sworn in as president.

00:23:46.920 Until that time, he had never held public office before.

00:23:50.000 Bernie Sanders has held public office for 41 years.

00:23:52.880 Bernie Sanders only speaks in vague slogans

00:23:55.280 because he knows the reality of what he's proposing

00:23:57.760 will turn off all of America.

00:23:59.840 It's radical.

00:24:00.740 It's awful.

00:24:01.560 It doesn't make any sense.

00:24:02.700 President Trump speaks in, if anything, language that is too blunt, too direct.

00:24:09.280 He's speaking in very graphic, very tangible terms.

00:24:12.340 We are going to build a big wall.

00:24:14.140 It will be 10 feet higher.

00:24:15.900 Mexico is going to pay for it.

00:24:17.500 We are going to renegotiate this trade deal.

00:24:19.700 We're going to renegotiate this trade deal.

00:24:21.360 We're going to make this plant stay in America.

00:24:23.580 We are going to put this person in prison.

00:24:26.080 If anything, he's being too specific.

00:24:28.280 But it's exactly the opposite of what you are getting from Bernie Sanders.

00:24:33.680 So I am personally offended by the comparisons of Bernie Sanders,

00:24:37.620 this ridiculous old socialist coot who has never accomplished a thing in his life,

00:24:43.000 to President Trump who's been highly effective and is far more honest with voters.

00:24:47.460 Can Bernie go anywhere?

00:24:49.280 Polling suggests he can.

00:24:50.500 He's always ranked in the top three contenders in terms of possible Democrat nominees.

00:24:54.820 The trouble is that those polls at the moment are mostly based on name identification.

00:25:00.620 So people know his name because he made it pretty far in 2016.

00:25:04.480 That is going to change necessarily as people like Kamala Harris, Spartacus,

00:25:10.120 Liawatha, Klobuchar.

00:25:11.960 As these people gain greater name recognition, Bernie is going to decrease.

00:25:16.980 He's also 77 years old.

00:25:18.680 He's just very, very old to be running for president.

00:25:22.060 That means it's 2019.

00:25:24.280 He'll be inaugurated at the age of 78.

00:25:27.380 He'll be 82 by the end of his first term.

00:25:29.660 If he serves two terms, he'd be 86 by the end of his second term.

00:25:33.420 It's very, very old.

00:25:35.160 The way you know, it's probably not going to go very far.

00:25:37.360 He's already gotten me-tooed.

00:25:39.780 So I don't think Bernie Sanders is like a groper.

00:25:43.580 I did see a pretty gross video of him singing communist songs in Russia shirtless.

00:25:47.460 That was the most I've ever been sexually harassed by Bernie Sanders.

00:25:51.080 But he's been me-tooed.

00:25:52.660 There's been a pretty dirty campaign to accuse his staffers of sexually harassing people,

00:25:58.560 basically trying to kick him out of the 2020 race that is populated by a lot of women.

00:26:03.500 The other reason he's going to have trouble is there's no more Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore.

00:26:08.280 Hillary Clinton was the best argument for Democrats to vote for Bernie Sanders.

00:26:12.760 Hillary Clinton was a singularly despised woman, even by her own party.

00:26:18.800 She's gone.

00:26:19.580 And now you've got all these fresh-faced Democrat women who don't have the baggage of Hillary Clinton.

00:26:24.680 And I think it's just going to kill him.

00:26:26.200 Bernie Sanders, he might be a Bolshevik all the way, but he is an old, straight, white man.

00:26:32.340 This is for a party that has embraced identity politics and intersectionality.

00:26:36.400 It's probably going to kill him.

00:26:37.780 Speaking of older white men, we, of course, have Howard Schultz.

00:26:40.880 But we've got to take a break.

00:26:42.760 Then I will defend another very old white man, so old that he's been dead for 40 years, John Wayne.

00:26:47.780 And if we have time, we'll get to the feminist pastor who melted down a bunch of purity rings to make a genital statue for Gloria Steinem.

00:26:55.540 But it's almost time for our next episode of The Conversation, featuring little old me, Michael Knowles.

00:27:30.460 You know what you get.

00:27:31.220 All sorts of stuff.

00:27:32.080 Me, the Andrew Klavan Show, the Ben Shapiro Show, the Matt Wall Show, questions in the mailbag.

00:27:36.960 That will be coming up on Thursday.

00:27:39.020 Questions in the conversation.

00:27:41.300 Questions backstage.

00:27:42.580 That's coming up soon, too.

00:27:43.660 Another kingdom.

00:27:44.340 You get everything.

00:27:44.960 You get this.

00:27:46.540 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:27:49.320 This is very good.

00:27:50.300 And we will never, never see a feminist pastor melting this down to make genital-shaped statues for Gloria Steinem,

00:27:58.960 because the Leftist Tears Tumblr don't melt.

00:28:01.300 Go to dailywire.com.

00:28:02.300 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:28:14.080 Howard Schultz, former Starbucks CEO, lifelong Democrat, but he's not a crazy lefty.

00:28:20.160 He's going to be running an independent campaign for president.

00:28:22.600 Who knows?

00:28:23.060 Anything could happen.

00:28:24.320 He is really signaling to the right and to centrists to come on over to his campaign.

00:28:30.240 He's really ratcheting up the rhetoric against the extreme left.

00:28:33.980 Here is a blog post he put out just yesterday.

00:28:36.220 It says, quote,

00:28:37.140 The stakes are too high to cross our fingers and hope the Democratic Party nominates a moderate

00:28:43.060 who can win over enough independents and disaffected Republicans and even fellow Democrats to defeat Trump next year.

00:28:49.760 That any opponent can oust Trump, no matter how far to the radical left they are, is a fallacy.

00:28:57.240 Very strong words.

00:29:00.980 I like that he's embracing this language, coming out against the radical left.

00:29:05.400 I think that there are a lot of people who could go along with this.

00:29:09.660 Because there is a big difference now between the composition of the right wing today as the composition of the right wing,

00:29:19.380 say, in the 1970s or 80s.

00:29:20.900 The conservative movement has changed its character.

00:29:24.340 In the 1950s, 60s, 70s, you had what Bill Buckley called fusionism.

00:29:31.260 He brought together people who were basically all anti-communists.

00:29:35.780 So you had the traditionalists.

00:29:37.220 You had the libertarians.

00:29:39.400 You had the hawkish Democrats and left-wingers, the blue dog Democrats.

00:29:44.140 You had even the religious right came in.

00:29:46.680 You had all of these people who didn't really agree with each other about much, but they were all anti-communist.

00:29:52.120 And so the concern for conservatives today is, after the fall of the Berlin Wall,

00:29:59.180 what is that one thing that unites the conservative movement?

00:30:03.300 Ever since 91, 92, the conservative movement hasn't made a ton of sense.

00:30:07.600 Libertarians, traditionalists, the religious right, the neoconservatives, they don't actually have very much in common.

00:30:17.200 So you've seen different fights over the soul of the conservative movement,

00:30:21.220 different fights between establishmentarians and populists, all of these different groups,

00:30:25.520 because they don't have that unifying enemy anymore.

00:30:29.120 What is that going to be right now?

00:30:30.640 I'm not so sure.

00:30:31.540 When you look at the right today, it seems like one unifying issue is free speech.

00:30:35.800 So this is something we can all get behind.

00:30:39.400 Dave Rubin and I actually don't agree on that much, but we're on the same side.

00:30:45.660 We're always, he comes on my show.

00:30:48.300 We are, you know, always tweeting each other.

00:30:51.480 We're on the same side of the internet political debates because we have this opponent,

00:30:58.840 which is the censorious left, the totalitarian left.

00:31:02.620 Okay, free speech is one good issue, but I think a lot of those people who would now call

00:31:08.560 themselves right wing or on the new right, I think a lot of them, at least for now,

00:31:12.180 they'll probably come over later on, would be a little more libertarian or a little more

00:31:16.000 classically liberal or a little more centrist or a little more independent.

00:31:21.280 They don't really go whole hog into the depth of conservative thought.

00:31:26.080 And Howard Schultz could speak to these guys.

00:31:28.940 It's the classic, I'm a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal, meh, I'm a conservative,

00:31:34.420 but not that kind of conservative.

00:31:35.940 Howard Schultz actually could speak to those people.

00:31:38.820 I really think he could.

00:31:40.860 Once you say, well, I've got certain libertarian leanings.

00:31:44.320 He, he is making a pitch not to the left, explicitly not to the left.

00:31:50.220 He's making his points so explicit in this blog post.

00:31:52.420 He is making a pitch to the new right, to the, to Blexit, to the walk away, to the Democrats

00:31:59.500 and disaffected people who would have called themselves left wing, even five years ago,

00:32:04.700 who are now moving to the right.

00:32:06.220 He's making the pitch for the new right.

00:32:08.560 And it has a chance of working, except that Donald Trump is speaking to those people because

00:32:14.820 Donald Trump also is not a Burkean conservative necessarily.

00:32:19.580 I actually think he has more conservative leanings than people are willing to admit, but I don't

00:32:24.580 think he sits around at the Federalist Society and wears bow ties and smokes cigars and sips

00:32:29.900 his brandy.

00:32:30.520 That's not the kind of conservative that Donald Trump is.

00:32:33.420 He's a very practical guy.

00:32:35.460 And part of that practicality is he's speaking to those same people that Schultz is speaking

00:32:40.140 to.

00:32:40.440 They're going after the same voters and Donald Trump is very effective at it.

00:32:44.460 So I think Howard Schultz is probably bound to lose, but he's, he's only bound to lose

00:32:48.680 because of the current Republican that he's going up against.

00:32:51.620 If he were going up against a more ideologically rigid conservative or against a more doctrinaire

00:32:58.600 conservative or a more traditional conservative in his behavior, then I actually think Howard

00:33:06.100 Schultz would have a pretty good case to make.

00:33:08.320 He'd actually have a real chance of shaking up 2020.

00:33:11.300 But that, that is the question.

00:33:14.520 And once you get past Trump, what does the future of American politics look like?

00:33:19.520 What does the future of the political divide look like?

00:33:21.760 He goes on in his blog post.

00:33:22.980 He says, those so concerned about a centrist independent being a spoiler should perhaps

00:33:27.200 ask another question.

00:33:28.760 Will the eventual Democratic nominee be the party's own version of a spoiler?

00:33:33.080 Has the Democrat party moved so far left, alienated so many people who, like Dave, like Dave Rubin

00:33:41.860 or like many others, or Candace Owens says that she, she had her conservative awakening or

00:33:49.640 like other people who say, I'm leaving the left.

00:33:52.480 I'm, and I want to bring other people along with me.

00:33:54.580 Is the Democrat party radicalizing in such a way that it is its own spoiler?

00:34:00.040 And does that leave room open, not for a new party on the right, but actually a new party

00:34:06.240 on the left?

00:34:07.400 All the talk of never Trump and, oh, the end of conservatism with a capital C and a trademark

00:34:13.660 and an INC after it, for all the talk of the right splitting up, really, I think the question

00:34:18.560 is, is there room for a new party on the left?

00:34:21.820 Howard Schultz is going to try to talk about that.

00:34:23.680 Speaking of the radical left, I did not expect to have to be defending John Wayne.

00:34:29.500 40 years after the Duke died, but the modern left is a very strange beast.

00:34:35.800 And so this is what I find myself doing.

00:34:37.540 I wake up this morning, I open up my Twitter and I see that the left is attacking John Wayne.

00:34:45.200 John Wayne has been dead since the 1970s.

00:34:50.140 1979, I think he died.

00:34:51.920 What are they attacking him for?

00:34:53.200 Because in 1971, was it, he's seven years, eight years from death, he gives an interview

00:35:01.560 to Playboy in which he expressed the views of very many people at that time, over 40 years

00:35:09.780 ago, I guess nearly 50 years ago at this point from the interview, about race relations in

00:35:15.920 America.

00:35:16.580 So what did he say?

00:35:17.240 He said, quote, I'll try to do it in my John Wayne voice, with a lot of blacks, there's

00:35:22.840 quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent and possibly rightfully so, but we can't all

00:35:29.640 of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks.

00:35:35.700 I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.

00:35:41.460 I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.

00:35:50.740 It's not, it's not a great John Wayne.

00:35:52.540 It's sort of more of an impression than an impersonation.

00:35:55.480 Okay, I'm not, it's like the, come on, cut me some slack.

00:35:58.820 That's what he says.

00:35:59.780 And cut John Wayne some slack, by the way, for what he said.

00:36:01.960 This is an interview of a man born in 1907, given immediately after the tumult of the

00:36:11.080 civil rights movement.

00:36:12.120 Civil rights movement lasts what?

00:36:13.380 The mid fifties to the late sixties, 68, 69.

00:36:17.060 You're talking to a man in 1971, a man who is like the definition of old school, tough

00:36:25.240 American ideas.

00:36:26.900 He's at the end of his life.

00:36:27.980 And by the way, John Wayne is making a cogent point about racism.

00:36:34.300 What is the point that John Wayne is making here?

00:36:36.540 He says, the very first line, he says, well, there's a lot of blacks, with a lot of blacks,

00:36:40.240 there's quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent and possibly rightfully so.

00:36:45.300 He's not saying they have nothing to complain about.

00:36:47.080 What are they, they shouldn't complain.

00:36:48.640 They, they, they have been treated perfectly in this country and there's been no slavery

00:36:52.760 and there's been no exclusion.

00:36:54.080 No, he doesn't say that.

00:36:54.700 He says, very possibly rightfully so, they are resentful of this country, right?

00:37:01.660 What is the implication of that?

00:37:03.680 The implication is that they have been excluded from education.

00:37:08.680 This is true.

00:37:09.660 This was one of the claims of the civil rights movement.

00:37:12.200 Actually, one of the goals of the civil rights movement was equality in education.

00:37:16.100 John Wayne says blacks have been excluded from education in the United States.

00:37:19.660 And so by necessity, by definition, they're going to be excluded from the leadership of the country.

00:37:26.380 And so as they're then included in educational systems and other social systems from which they were excluded,

00:37:33.320 then over time they can be brought in to the political leadership of the country.

00:37:37.600 This is actually an anti-racist point that he's making.

00:37:41.520 He is acknowledging the reality of racial exclusion and he is saying that this is now changing and will change over time.

00:37:49.860 The point that John Wayne is making and the way that it has been totally perverted for no reason by the left,

00:37:58.240 because the left has no actual problems to complain about,

00:38:01.040 so they have to go back 40 years to create their own problems and pretend that this is a big deal.

00:38:06.860 Well, this point was made by Russell Kirk in his book, The Conservative Mind,

00:38:11.900 which I'm going back over as a tremendous book.

00:38:14.800 He points out, he puts it in different words,

00:38:17.520 but he points out that the leftist reformer looks into some opinion from the past or some institution

00:38:23.920 and asks, is it true?

00:38:28.000 And the conservative, the intelligent person,

00:38:31.980 looks into that opinion or that institution or that law or whatever

00:38:35.140 and asks, what does it mean?

00:38:39.120 These are very different schools.

00:38:42.680 You know, this is how the left approaches history,

00:38:44.740 it's how it approaches literature.

00:38:46.680 It resembles what Harold Bloom, the literary critic, would call the school of resentment.

00:38:51.220 They look back at literature

00:38:52.480 and they read it and they hate it

00:38:55.000 and they just hate it

00:38:56.480 and they're looking to hate it

00:38:57.720 and they want to hate it

00:38:58.960 and they want to debunk it and deconstruct it

00:39:01.420 and point out why it's wrong and terrible.

00:39:03.480 The normal way, the reasonable, rational way

00:39:09.960 to look back at history and literature and history

00:39:12.380 is to look back and say, what can I learn from this?

00:39:15.700 What wisdom is there to take from this?

00:39:18.120 What point is this person making?

00:39:20.540 Is this person challenging my own assumptions?

00:39:24.640 Does this person have something to teach me?

00:39:26.700 Only then can you reject what is not valuable in that opinion or that institution or that statute.

00:39:35.900 Only once you understand it can you have any sense of what to reject.

00:39:40.820 You have to master it first.

00:39:43.020 You have to approach it with some humility and awe

00:39:45.480 and then you can say, okay, I've absorbed this.

00:39:49.660 I see where he's going.

00:39:51.200 I see why he thought that.

00:39:52.920 I see the value of why he thought that

00:39:55.020 and now I'm going to change this part or dispute this part.

00:40:00.520 Okay, that's a rational way to do it.

00:40:04.200 John Wayne, there are some videos on that.

00:40:05.820 You can check out videos of late stage John Wayne talking about minorities.

00:40:09.880 There's actually a great story of him.

00:40:12.200 Who knows if it's apocryphal or not.

00:40:13.640 He's on his deathbed.

00:40:14.880 He's got some friends coming over, one of whom is Jewish.

00:40:18.560 And the Jewish guy says to Wayne,

00:40:20.640 I didn't think you'd want to see me.

00:40:22.540 I didn't think you'd want to see a Jew while you're sick.

00:40:24.780 And John Wayne allegedly said,

00:40:27.040 the only Jew I don't want to see is the big one in the sky.

00:40:31.720 He had a kind of reputation as a funny crank,

00:40:36.380 a funny curmudgeon who would make racial jokes

00:40:39.360 and it wasn't out of some animus or anything.

00:40:41.080 Here is John Wayne speaking explicitly on camera

00:40:45.360 about issues of race and minorities.

00:40:47.460 They're being represented by men who are kowtowing to minorities

00:40:51.200 where they can get votes.

00:40:53.500 And I think it's bad for our country.

00:40:58.860 And I am sad to see minorities make so much of themselves

00:41:04.140 as a hyphenated American.

00:41:05.580 And I wish they'd all get to thinking that they're Americans as they should.

00:41:10.500 And as they have luckily been born here

00:41:13.920 and couldn't be better off in any other place,

00:41:18.160 there shouldn't be so much whining and bellyaching.

00:41:21.660 In the late 60s and early 70s, there was a period of considerable change.

00:41:27.080 Civil rights for blacks, equal rights for women.

00:41:30.220 Has this made America a better place?

00:41:31.980 I am saddened by the fact that although we were a matriarchy,

00:41:36.660 I think we will not be any longer.

00:41:39.020 I think opening doors and tipping your hat to ladies

00:41:43.320 is probably a thing of the past.

00:41:46.760 The forerunners of the women's liberation of today

00:41:52.360 have taken that feeling away from the average American man.

00:42:00.580 Show me the lie.

00:42:02.380 Show me the lie in what he just said.

00:42:04.100 I think people are going to watch that

00:42:05.380 and they're going to approach it with that school of resentment

00:42:07.720 and they're going to say, how can I be offended?

00:42:09.700 How can I pretend to be offended by what he said?

00:42:11.760 Okay.

00:42:12.600 He said leftist politicians are pandering to racial minorities

00:42:16.700 against their own interests.

00:42:19.280 Oh.

00:42:20.260 Hmm.

00:42:21.940 Wait a minute.

00:42:24.140 That's exactly what they do.

00:42:26.520 They pander.

00:42:28.380 They stoke racial resentment.

00:42:30.180 They pander and divide up Americans along those lines,

00:42:34.020 racial, sexual lines.

00:42:35.180 Then they end up hurting the people

00:42:37.460 that ostensibly they were intending to help.

00:42:40.040 Okay.

00:42:40.460 That part was true.

00:42:41.260 All right.

00:42:41.540 That's fine.

00:42:42.780 He says that people born in America

00:42:47.060 are better off than people anywhere else in the world.

00:42:49.780 That, hmm.

00:42:51.140 Yeah.

00:42:51.640 No, that's true too.

00:42:52.780 That's even people historically excluded from society

00:42:55.500 are better off in America

00:42:57.000 than not in America

00:42:59.540 because America is the greatest country in the world.

00:43:01.800 And once you have,

00:43:05.100 after the period of slavery,

00:43:06.960 once people are free,

00:43:09.580 once you eradicate Jim Crow,

00:43:13.300 once you eradicate exclusion and discrimination by law,

00:43:18.580 or mostly eliminate discrimination by law,

00:43:21.340 or even go a good distance toward eliminating discrimination by law,

00:43:24.780 people are choosing to be here.

00:43:26.680 They're choosing to be here for a reason.

00:43:27.900 It's the most equitable, just, prosperous country in the history of the world.

00:43:32.860 People are better off being born here

00:43:34.460 than being born in Pakistan in the 1950s.

00:43:38.760 Or today.

00:43:40.080 Better off being born here than in Rwanda in the 1970s.

00:43:46.360 Of course they are.

00:43:47.820 America is the greatest country in the world.

00:43:49.140 That's why we have an immigration problem.

00:43:50.520 Because everybody on planet Earth wants to come here.

00:43:54.480 Of every single color of the rainbow.

00:43:56.240 Of every sexual nature and preference.

00:44:00.420 Of course.

00:44:01.120 So that part's exactly right too.

00:44:02.920 What does he say?

00:44:03.640 America used to be a matriarchy and it's not anymore.

00:44:06.260 Also true.

00:44:07.100 This is a radical point

00:44:08.140 that feminists are only quickly learning.

00:44:10.600 Since the beginning of the modern feminist movement,

00:44:12.460 the second wave feminist movement,

00:44:13.920 female happiness,

00:44:15.100 as measured by every single survey,

00:44:17.220 has declined.

00:44:17.520 Declined.

00:44:18.400 Both relative to the happiness of men

00:44:20.060 and in absolute terms.

00:44:21.620 Why is it?

00:44:22.240 Because America was a matriarchy.

00:44:24.580 A matriarchy in the sense

00:44:25.800 that women are the center of the world.

00:44:28.560 Of the political world.

00:44:29.900 Everything that happens

00:44:31.000 in commerce,

00:44:31.980 in politics,

00:44:33.160 in the military,

00:44:35.140 is to protect women.

00:44:37.040 And to protect the next generation.

00:44:39.180 The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

00:44:41.380 It is a disgusting society

00:44:42.800 that won't hold a door for a woman.

00:44:44.280 A disgusting society

00:44:45.500 that won't show women grace.

00:44:48.340 Tip their hat to a woman.

00:44:50.320 Won't even consider standing up

00:44:52.200 when they leave the table.

00:44:54.120 That's a disgusting society.

00:44:56.560 That's an anti-woman society.

00:44:59.600 John Wayne makes that point.

00:45:01.080 And then he goes on,

00:45:01.860 he makes his central duke point

00:45:03.680 about belly aching.

00:45:04.900 And I want to see them have everything.

00:45:09.580 I want,

00:45:10.640 I don't squawk and cry baby

00:45:14.000 and say,

00:45:15.000 geez, I had to go without meals

00:45:16.680 when I was 16 and 17 years old.

00:45:19.340 It's a terrible thing.

00:45:21.000 I don't think that,

00:45:22.680 that the,

00:45:23.420 you should look back

00:45:24.440 and whine and belly ache.

00:45:26.780 Or try to hold somebody else

00:45:28.280 guilty for everything you did.

00:45:30.200 Damn right, Duke.

00:45:31.300 Absolutely right.

00:45:32.300 He opens up on the,

00:45:33.880 just on the racial point

00:45:34.940 because I know people

00:45:35.680 are going to try to take it

00:45:36.380 out of context.

00:45:37.240 He says,

00:45:37.580 I want them to have everything.

00:45:39.380 Also, it's terrible to complain.

00:45:41.320 And it is,

00:45:41.780 it is disgusting to complain.

00:45:43.780 Awful.

00:45:44.400 It is sinful.

00:45:45.800 It is wrong.

00:45:46.800 It is miserable.

00:45:47.880 Don't complain.

00:45:48.960 Quit your belly aching.

00:45:50.320 Everybody goes through tough things.

00:45:52.600 Some people suffer more than others.

00:45:54.160 Some people suffer a lot

00:45:55.120 during acute periods of time

00:45:56.680 and then they don't suffer much later on.

00:45:58.800 Some people,

00:45:59.120 it just differs.

00:45:59.860 Everybody goes through tough things.

00:46:01.960 Stop whining about it,

00:46:04.060 you little children.

00:46:05.520 Stop it.

00:46:06.620 There's nothing good about it.

00:46:07.820 There's nothing virtuous about complaining.

00:46:09.680 There's nothing nice about it.

00:46:11.560 There's nothing good.

00:46:12.440 There's nothing beautiful.

00:46:13.560 It's just gross.

00:46:15.720 Fix your circumstances.

00:46:18.960 Advocate for the good.

00:46:20.880 Do the right thing.

00:46:22.060 All of those are wonderful things.

00:46:23.360 But don't indulge yourself in self-pity.

00:46:26.320 Good Lord.

00:46:27.100 That's the point Duke's making.

00:46:28.160 He's absolutely right.

00:46:29.780 And the left just can't hear it.

00:46:31.460 We'll get to feminist genital statue purity rings tomorrow, I guess.

00:46:37.800 I guess we don't have time today.

00:46:38.920 We'll get to all of that later.
