The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 412 - The Libs Who Cried Wolf

00:00:00.000 An impeached Trump rally in Washington, D.C. draws a record crowd of zero people.

00:00:07.060 Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden collapses in early primary polls.

00:00:11.160 We examine what that means for the candidate at the party in 2020.

00:00:14.660 Then another Democratic candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, gets woke on borders and late-term abortion.

00:00:20.720 And finally, the New York Times gives us the single dumbest article on the Internet today.

00:00:27.400 And there was a lot of competition.

00:00:28.560 All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:38.900 So much to get to today on this overarching topic of the Democrats who cried wolf.

00:00:47.140 Of what it seems to be from the presidential race, to the impeached Trump movement, to the mainstream media.

00:00:53.560 The Democratic base just seems to be tired of being lied to.

00:00:58.880 So we'll get to that in a second.

00:01:00.080 First, though, we've got some breaking news that just came out.

00:01:03.120 President Trump has fired his national security advisor, John Bolton.

00:01:08.540 He released the news on Twitter, of course.

00:01:10.580 Where else would he release it?

00:01:11.820 And President Trump tweeted, I quote,

00:01:13.320 This is a bad move for the administration.

00:01:36.160 John Bolton was one of the sharpest people in the White House with the greatest grasp on international politics.

00:01:46.500 He was despised by the left and many people on the right, which is how you know that he had done a pretty good job.

00:01:53.300 I would imagine the timing of this firing has something to do with the Taliban dust up.

00:02:00.920 There was going to be this Taliban meeting, secret negotiations at Camp David,

00:02:05.020 and it looked like the State Department under Mike Pompeo was pushing for that.

00:02:08.540 It looked like John Bolton, as a national security advisor, was pushing against that.

00:02:12.320 Then the meeting was put off.

00:02:14.660 Looks like John Bolton won that battle, but he may have lost the war because he is out.

00:02:19.200 It was always a little bit of a strange move for John Bolton to be picked as the national security advisor to President Trump.

00:02:27.460 And the reason for this is that President Trump ran in 2016 essentially as a dove.

00:02:32.660 He did say he wanted to destroy ISIS, so he had a little bit of that hawkish rhetoric,

00:02:37.340 but broadly he was an anti-war candidate.

00:02:40.080 And John Bolton has always favored a more aggressive foreign policy.

00:02:43.520 I think he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times when the Iran deal was being discussed

00:02:48.240 that said something to the effect of, to stop Iran's bomb, bomb Iran.

00:02:52.600 So it always seemed like a little bit of a strange match,

00:02:55.900 but I was glad that he was in the administration just because he's super smart.

00:02:59.820 Even if Bolton was an odd choice, it was healthy for Trump to have him there

00:03:03.060 because it gave some balance to the White House and because the guy's just so sharp and so experienced.

00:03:09.100 But I guess when I saw this news on Twitter, it occurred to me that today is just going to be

00:03:15.420 defend John Bolton against Species Attacks Day

00:03:18.140 because there is a popular narrative on the right that John Bolton is basically Bill Kristol with a mustache

00:03:24.960 or that John Bolton is a neocon warmonger or that John Bolton is some awful, terrible person.

00:03:31.560 And it's just ridiculous.

00:03:33.620 John Bolton, one of the lines that he brings up a lot in politics is that politics is complicated.

00:03:41.020 Geopolitics is complicated.

00:03:42.840 And to try to put him in one of these little categories as neocon or paleocon or something is ridiculous.

00:03:49.620 He isn't in any way easily categorized because he's an advanced and sophisticated mind.

00:03:57.640 The one way I think you could describe John Bolton's view of the world is to put American interests first.

00:04:05.240 I mean, you could describe him as an American first thinker.

00:04:09.260 And when John Bolton was the ambassador of the United Nations, this was very clear.

00:04:12.920 He was not confirmed.

00:04:14.800 President Bush had to appoint John Bolton as a recess appointment.

00:04:18.080 And earlier when Ambassador Bolton, I guess is how you would now refer to him,

00:04:24.260 earlier when Ambassador Bolton was speaking to the UN,

00:04:27.720 he made very clear his view of America's role in the world.

00:04:31.120 And it was a view that I think most Trump supporters would agree with,

00:04:34.940 which is that there is no such thing as the United Nations.

00:04:37.760 There is the interest of the United States,

00:04:39.900 which may or may not coincide with the preferences of the international community.

00:04:43.740 But regardless of what all those other countries want,

00:04:47.560 the U.S. will pursue her national interest.

00:04:51.380 That I want to leave with you in this very brief presentation is where I started.

00:04:56.460 There is no United Nations.

00:04:59.880 There is an international community that occasionally can be led

00:05:05.120 by the only real power left in the world, and that's the United States,

00:05:09.180 when it suits our interests, and when we can get others to go along.

00:05:14.560 The secretariat building in New York has 38 stories.

00:05:17.820 If you lost 10 stories today, it would make a bit of difference.

00:05:21.980 This kind of mindless creation of the United Nations as something different

00:05:29.220 than what it's in the United States' interest to do

00:05:32.100 isn't going to sell here or anywhere else.

00:05:34.940 The only question, the only question to the United States

00:05:38.300 is what's in our national interest.

00:05:40.260 And if you don't like that, I'm sorry, but that is the fact.

00:05:43.480 Love that guy.

00:05:44.420 The only way that I'll be okay with him leaving his NSA

00:05:46.660 is if they put him up to be the U.N. ambassador again.

00:05:50.160 That's my view on John Bolton.

00:05:52.380 But today's show is not about the Trump administration.

00:05:54.840 It's about the alternative.

00:05:56.780 It's about how the left seems to be collapsing,

00:05:59.940 and it seems to be collapsing rather quickly, all at once.

00:06:03.340 What's going on? We'll get to it in a second.

00:06:04.880 But first, I've got to thank our friends over at ExpressVPN.

00:06:08.700 This topic is now more important, now more than ever,

00:06:13.020 because everybody wants your data.

00:06:16.420 You can't trust certain elements in Silicon Valley

00:06:19.440 to treat conservatives fairly.

00:06:21.200 But if you can't do that, then how can you trust them

00:06:23.020 to handle your privacy and personal online data?

00:06:26.640 That is why I strongly recommend using ExpressVPN

00:06:29.980 every time you go online.

00:06:31.760 I know what you're thinking. I used to think it too.

00:06:34.180 Oh, nobody wants my data.

00:06:36.240 Nah, me, they don't care what I'm looking at.

00:06:38.280 No, no, that's okay.

00:06:40.320 BS, big tech companies, can use your IP address

00:06:43.540 to match your internet activity to your identity

00:06:46.000 or your location.

00:06:48.240 And if you aren't listening to this show,

00:06:50.000 something tells me,

00:06:51.060 you look at some pretty weird stuff online, okay?

00:06:52.980 I know what you do.

00:06:53.640 You go into that incognito tab,

00:06:55.820 and then you start looking at all those seedy websites,

00:06:58.600 like dailywire.com.

00:06:59.660 When I use ExpressVPN, search engines and media sites

00:07:02.760 can't see my IP address at all.

00:07:05.080 My identity is masked and anonymized.

00:07:07.880 ExpressVPN has the added benefit

00:07:09.560 of encrypting 100% of your data

00:07:29.000 especially people who are not friendly

00:07:30.640 to your political points of view

00:08:00.460 Today's show is not about the Trump administration.

00:08:02.960 We'll have plenty of time

00:08:03.820 to talk about the Trump administration.

00:08:05.300 It's about the alternative,

00:08:06.680 because when I look around,

00:08:08.280 not just the rank and file left,

00:08:10.240 not just the presidential candidates,

00:08:11.840 not just the mainstream media,

00:08:13.060 I see it all collapsing at once.

00:08:17.160 You know, like Ernest Hemingway said,

00:08:18.780 gradually, then, suddenly.

00:08:21.560 There was an impeach Trump event yesterday in D.C.,

00:08:26.240 or at least there was supposed to be

00:08:27.520 an impeach Trump event yesterday in D.C.

00:08:30.180 It was going to be outside of the Capitol

00:08:31.980 where all the lawmakers are going to gather

00:08:34.580 because Congress is back in session

00:08:36.480 and they wanted to send a message

00:08:38.640 to impeach President Trump.

00:08:41.260 This was supported by some of the biggest organizations

00:08:43.540 on the left,

00:08:44.880 by Indivisible,

00:08:46.300 by MoveOn.org,

00:08:47.480 by Need to Impeach,

00:08:48.540 Stand Up America,

00:08:49.400 March of Truth,

00:08:50.300 By the People,

00:08:50.860 Common Cause,

00:08:51.500 Free Speech for People,

00:08:52.620 Democracy for America.

00:08:53.580 How many of these organizations

00:08:54.880 do these people have?

00:08:55.980 Progressive Democrats of America,

00:08:57.480 Credo,

00:08:58.120 and Democrats.com.

00:08:59.140 Here's what the website read

00:09:00.960 in advance of this event.

00:09:04.380 Quote,

00:09:05.480 The president, vice president,

00:09:06.880 and all civil officers

00:09:08.220 of the United States

00:09:09.340 shall be removed from office

00:09:11.160 on impeachment for

00:09:12.700 and conviction of

00:09:14.200 treason

00:09:14.840 by bribery

00:09:16.100 or other high crimes

00:09:17.920 and misdemeanors.

00:09:19.040 The charge of high crimes

00:09:20.080 and misdemeanors

00:09:20.720 covers allegations

00:09:21.580 of misconduct

00:09:22.300 by officials

00:09:23.340 such as perjury of oath,

00:09:25.680 abuse of authority,

00:09:27.120 bribery,

00:09:27.800 intimidation,

00:09:28.520 misuse of assets,

00:09:29.360 failure to supervise,

00:09:30.800 dereliction of duty.

00:09:31.600 They go on all these

00:09:32.460 awful terrible things

00:09:33.500 that Trump is alleged

00:09:34.800 to have done.

00:09:35.260 There was just one problem

00:09:38.040 with their event.

00:09:39.900 Nobody showed up.

00:09:42.280 Nobody showed up.

00:09:44.940 Zero people.

00:09:46.900 This was a big event

00:09:48.040 that had been promoted

00:09:49.020 by a lot of very big groups.

00:09:51.160 Why did nobody show up?

00:09:52.680 You know,

00:09:53.020 Breitbart was the one

00:09:54.340 who figured out

00:09:55.740 that this event

00:09:56.980 was a total flop

00:09:58.240 and then the reporters

00:09:59.700 at Breitbart reached out

00:10:00.680 to some of the people

00:10:02.020 who were putting it together.

00:10:03.000 No response.

00:10:03.740 And then immediately after

00:10:05.340 this was reported on,

00:10:06.840 the website took down

00:10:07.800 the event.

00:10:08.520 They wanted to forget about it.

00:10:10.660 Why did nobody

00:10:11.400 show up to this event?

00:10:13.160 Is it because

00:10:13.820 all of a sudden

00:10:14.760 everybody loves Trump?

00:10:16.820 I don't think so.

00:10:18.400 Is it because

00:10:18.900 nobody in the country

00:10:19.840 wants to impeach Trump?

00:10:21.060 No, I don't think so.

00:10:22.480 I think it's because

00:10:23.740 even leftists

00:10:25.360 are tired

00:10:26.500 of being taken

00:10:27.480 for suckers. 0.89

00:10:29.640 And they're tired

00:10:30.560 of being taken

00:10:31.140 for suckers

00:10:31.820 by their own

00:10:33.220 alleged leaders.

00:10:35.260 You know,

00:10:35.520 the left has cried wolf

00:10:37.100 for three years,

00:10:39.800 more than three years.

00:10:41.500 This is the result

00:10:42.720 of that.

00:10:44.240 The left

00:10:45.280 put all their eggs

00:10:46.780 in one basket

00:10:48.060 and that basket

00:10:49.220 was the Russia 0.80

00:10:50.120 collusion narrative.

00:10:52.260 We're going to impeach

00:10:53.380 Trump

00:10:53.800 because he's a traitor, 0.80

00:10:55.260 because he colluded

00:10:56.080 with Russia,

00:10:57.320 and it just

00:10:58.980 didn't happen.

00:11:00.120 So then,

00:11:01.100 it was Stormy Daniels.

00:11:02.940 Trump slept

00:11:04.100 with a porn star,

00:11:05.340 and we're going to

00:11:06.000 take Trump down

00:11:06.660 for that.

00:11:07.700 Then it was his finances.

00:11:09.640 Then it was back

00:11:10.320 to Russia again.

00:11:11.380 Then it was racism.

00:11:13.120 Then he called

00:11:13.860 neo-Nazis

00:11:14.720 very fine people,

00:11:15.780 except then you look

00:11:16.460 at the tape

00:11:16.840 and he didn't call

00:11:17.400 neo-Nazis

00:11:17.920 very fine people.

00:11:18.840 He explicitly

00:11:19.480 condemned them.

00:11:20.400 And then,

00:11:21.100 and then,

00:11:21.900 and then,

00:11:22.820 and then,

00:11:23.860 there was never

00:11:26.140 any argument

00:11:27.220 for impeachment.

00:11:29.720 And the left

00:11:30.360 knows this,

00:11:31.100 and the rank

00:11:31.500 and file knows this,

00:11:32.440 and they're sick of it.

00:11:34.640 Why,

00:11:35.040 look,

00:11:35.380 it's not that the left

00:11:36.160 doesn't want to impeach

00:11:36.840 Trump,

00:11:37.140 it's just,

00:11:37.900 you know,

00:11:38.300 you got to put on

00:11:39.400 your pants in the morning,

00:11:40.280 you got to walk out the door,

00:11:41.180 you got to take the bus,

00:11:41.980 you got to go over

00:11:42.780 to the Capitol,

00:11:43.800 you got to hold up

00:11:44.300 the signs,

00:11:44.920 impeach Trump,

00:11:45.480 and they don't believe

00:11:46.260 it anymore

00:11:46.700 because it's not

00:11:47.340 going to happen.

00:11:48.580 It is not going to happen.

00:11:49.840 The anti-Trump rhetoric

00:11:50.900 from the mainstream media

00:11:51.980 and Democratic candidates

00:11:53.120 is still in a fever pitch,

00:11:55.000 but it doesn't correspond

00:11:57.040 to reality.

00:11:58.660 Compare the resistance,

00:12:00.240 the Trump resistance,

00:12:01.160 to the Tea Party.

00:12:02.340 Think about these two things.

00:12:04.060 Tea Party,

00:12:05.020 2010,

00:12:06.440 even a little bit

00:12:07.060 before that,

00:12:08.560 totally legitimate movement

00:12:10.140 rose up in opposition

00:12:11.800 to a massively unpopular law

00:12:14.380 called Obamacare

00:12:15.680 that tried to take over

00:12:17.020 a sixth of the economy

00:12:18.000 that took away

00:12:18.600 Americans' doctors,

00:12:19.680 that made prices go up,

00:12:21.180 made the quality of care

00:12:22.260 decrease,

00:12:23.480 that unconstitutional

00:12:24.960 and only forced Americans 0.62

00:12:25.900 to buy a private product

00:12:27.560 from the federal level.

00:12:30.280 Also,

00:12:30.720 the Tea Party

00:12:31.180 was running against

00:12:32.220 a terrible economy.

00:12:34.020 Barack Obama

00:12:34.600 comes in in a recession,

00:12:35.940 sure,

00:12:36.420 but then because of

00:12:37.580 his awful economic policies,

00:12:39.100 there was no recovery,

00:12:40.740 slowest recovery in history.

00:12:42.700 They also,

00:12:43.800 in the Tea Party,

00:12:44.560 were running against

00:12:45.240 a very unpopular

00:12:45.980 corporate bailout.

00:12:47.340 So,

00:12:48.000 the big banks,

00:12:49.400 I mean,

00:12:49.760 there were several bailouts,

00:12:51.380 but there was the bailout

00:12:52.020 of the banks,

00:12:52.500 and then there was

00:12:52.860 the unpopular stimulus plan.

00:12:54.960 The banks,

00:12:56.100 in part,

00:12:56.720 get us into this mess,

00:12:57.760 and then what do we do?

00:12:58.580 The federal government

00:12:59.180 uses our tax dollars

00:13:00.500 to bail them out.

00:13:02.780 There was this

00:13:03.700 slush fund

00:13:04.560 stimulus package

00:13:05.640 that didn't bring

00:13:06.240 with it any jobs.

00:13:07.560 They also were running

00:13:08.660 against expanded wars

00:13:10.140 in the Middle East.

00:13:10.960 Barack Obama

00:13:11.580 expanded wars

00:13:12.380 in the Middle East

00:13:12.980 almost immediately

00:13:14.320 after he got elected.

00:13:16.040 And what did the Tea Party do?

00:13:17.200 They had these

00:13:17.540 legitimate grievances.

00:13:18.640 They were very specific.

00:13:19.880 They were very particular.

00:13:21.260 They organized.

00:13:22.440 They rallied their candidates.

00:13:23.380 They won 1,000 seats

00:13:25.100 around the country.

00:13:27.240 That's impressive.

00:13:28.600 And the thing

00:13:29.120 I always noticed

00:13:29.660 about Tea Party rallies,

00:13:30.860 I went to a number of them.

00:13:33.720 You know,

00:13:34.140 all the campaigns.

00:13:35.180 I was working on campaigns

00:13:36.060 at the time.

00:13:36.480 They would all stop

00:13:37.000 by these Tea Party rallies.

00:13:38.700 The Tea Party,

00:13:39.460 they'd show up,

00:13:40.380 and they'd leave

00:13:41.540 their rallies,

00:13:42.440 and the place looked cleaner

00:13:43.460 than it did

00:13:43.900 before they got there.

00:13:44.820 You know,

00:13:45.020 they were very well behaved.

00:13:46.900 Say whatever you will

00:13:47.800 about the ideology

00:13:49.180 of the Tea Party,

00:13:50.760 which I think

00:13:51.140 was really positive

00:13:51.960 for the country,

00:13:53.060 but they were well behaved.

00:13:55.380 They were serious people.

00:13:56.980 Compare that

00:13:57.380 to the resistance.

00:13:58.240 The resistance

00:13:58.760 is a bunch of

00:13:59.500 aggrieved ex-hippies

00:14:00.740 and blue-haired feminists 1.00

00:14:02.320 who don't like

00:14:03.200 Trump's mean tweets.

00:14:04.840 That's it.

00:14:05.360 What are they running against?

00:14:06.380 Are they running against

00:14:07.080 some unpopular law?

00:14:08.180 What's the unpopular law?

00:14:09.900 Tax cuts?

00:14:11.460 Yeah,

00:14:11.900 we need to sweep the country

00:14:13.280 because Trump let us

00:14:14.240 keep more of our money.

00:14:15.720 I don't think so.

00:14:16.960 Is it the economy?

00:14:18.680 No,

00:14:18.800 the economy is doing great.

00:14:20.160 Is it wars

00:14:22.420 in the Middle East?

00:14:23.200 If anything,

00:14:23.920 President Trump

00:14:24.460 has curtailed

00:14:25.360 wars in the Middle East.

00:14:27.440 They're not running

00:14:28.440 against anything real.

00:14:31.320 It's not even that

00:14:32.000 the left doesn't want

00:14:32.960 to impeach Trump anymore.

00:14:34.140 It's just that many of them

00:14:35.040 are very tired

00:14:35.900 of having

00:14:36.900 their

00:14:37.700 time wasted.

00:14:39.580 And you see this

00:14:40.420 in the presidential polls.

00:14:41.800 You know,

00:14:41.960 you see this,

00:14:42.820 the Democratic frontrunner

00:14:43.980 right now

00:14:44.500 is collapsing.

00:14:45.940 Terrible polls

00:14:46.740 coming out for Joe Biden

00:14:47.740 out of Iowa

00:14:49.740 and New Hampshire

00:14:50.460 must win

00:14:51.460 early primary states.

00:14:52.920 We'll get to that

00:14:53.300 in one second.

00:14:54.260 But first,

00:14:55.460 two to three guys

00:14:56.120 will experience

00:14:56.900 some form of

00:14:57.880 male pattern baldness

00:14:59.120 by the time

00:15:00.020 they're 35.

00:15:01.900 That's the bad news.

00:15:03.360 The good news is

00:15:04.160 with today's advancements

00:15:05.400 in science,

00:15:06.140 Keeps offers

00:15:14.980 in the world,

00:15:15.620 okay?

00:15:15.920 I'm not the biggest athlete.

00:15:17.100 I was not

00:15:17.640 the captain

00:15:18.380 of the football team.

00:15:19.260 But I always did

00:15:20.200 pretty well

00:15:20.620 with the ladies.

00:15:21.280 How?

00:15:22.160 Because I got,

00:15:22.660 you know,

00:16:32.280 Bad news for Joe Biden,

00:16:33.880 Democratic frontrunner.

00:16:35.620 According to new

00:16:36.600 CBS YouGov polls

00:16:38.260 out of Iowa

00:16:39.000 and New Hampshire

00:16:40.160 early primary states,

00:16:41.720 Biden's lead

00:16:42.840 has all

00:16:43.900 but vanished.

00:16:46.100 This is the new poll.

00:16:47.460 Biden,

00:16:48.180 29%

00:16:48.880 in Iowa.

00:16:50.760 Do you know

00:16:50.920 where Bernie Sanders is?

00:16:51.840 Number two,

00:16:52.420 26%.

00:16:53.380 3%

00:16:54.200 margin,

00:16:54.800 difference.

00:16:55.500 That is nothing.

00:16:56.420 That is zero.

00:16:57.440 How about

00:16:57.940 Elizabeth Warren?

00:16:58.780 She's down there

00:16:59.220 at 17%.

00:17:00.060 New Hampshire,

00:17:01.780 Warren is actually

00:17:02.640 leading now,

00:17:03.320 27%.

00:17:04.160 Biden is in second

00:17:05.320 place in New Hampshire,

00:17:06.240 26%.

00:17:07.060 Bernie at 25%.

00:17:08.360 So it's more or less

00:17:09.060 a three-way tie.

00:17:10.160 Nevada,

00:17:10.780 at least Biden's

00:17:11.380 going to win Nevada,

00:17:12.060 right?

00:17:12.360 No.

00:17:13.200 Sanders is up 29%.

00:17:14.500 Biden is second

00:17:15.280 at 27%.

00:17:16.140 Warren is down there

00:17:17.100 at 18%.

00:17:17.800 Only in South Carolina

00:17:19.320 does Biden

00:17:20.060 have a commanding lead,

00:17:21.600 43%.

00:17:22.440 Sanders is 18%.

00:17:23.680 Warren has 14%.

00:17:24.780 And

00:17:25.100 why is that?

00:17:27.220 The reason,

00:17:27.900 this is still

00:17:28.540 the one good news

00:17:29.940 for Biden,

00:17:30.940 is that the other candidates

00:17:31.880 have very little

00:17:32.780 black support.

00:17:34.360 Democratic Party,

00:17:35.280 you need black support

00:17:36.040 to win.

00:17:37.020 Biden still has

00:17:37.780 black support.

00:17:38.480 There are more

00:17:38.740 black voters

00:17:39.280 in South Carolina,

00:17:40.120 so he's doing better.

00:17:42.060 The bad news

00:17:43.000 for Biden

00:17:43.500 is that Democrats

00:17:44.440 are now rejecting

00:17:46.000 the electability

00:17:48.000 argument.

00:17:49.920 They're clearly

00:17:50.620 rejecting it.

00:17:52.900 Biden's only pitch

00:17:54.160 is vote for me,

00:17:55.660 I'm the best guy

00:17:56.680 to beat Trump.

00:17:57.780 Why am I the best

00:17:58.660 guy to beat Trump?

00:17:59.420 Is it because

00:17:59.840 my policies

00:18:00.760 are the most exciting?

00:18:01.720 No.

00:18:02.020 Is it because

00:18:02.320 my policies

00:18:02.840 are the most popular?

00:18:03.620 No.

00:18:04.060 Is it because

00:18:04.340 I've accomplished

00:18:04.840 the most?

00:18:05.280 No.

00:18:06.500 It's because

00:18:07.140 I'm the most

00:18:07.660 electable.

00:18:08.740 Okay.

00:18:09.260 The minute

00:18:09.700 that you fall

00:18:10.460 down in the polls,

00:18:11.280 the minute you

00:18:11.640 lose Iowa,

00:18:12.780 you're no longer

00:18:13.360 the most electable.

00:18:14.860 The minute you

00:18:15.560 lose Iowa

00:18:16.140 and New Hampshire,

00:18:17.100 you're definitely

00:18:17.480 not the most

00:18:18.020 electable.

00:18:18.440 it is a house

00:18:20.160 of cards

00:18:20.720 that Joe Biden

00:18:21.940 is standing

00:18:22.420 on right now.

00:18:25.040 I think

00:18:25.960 it is the same

00:18:27.200 reason.

00:18:27.780 I think

00:18:28.260 basically

00:18:28.900 Democrats

00:18:29.360 are sick. 0.90

00:18:30.640 The Democratic

00:18:31.280 base,

00:18:31.740 the left-wing

00:18:32.120 base,

00:18:33.220 they're sick

00:18:33.820 of being played

00:18:34.440 for suckers. 0.89

00:18:36.360 Could you imagine

00:18:37.060 being told

00:18:37.580 Joe Biden

00:18:38.080 is the most

00:18:38.520 electable?

00:18:39.200 Joe Biden

00:18:39.540 ran for president

00:18:40.200 in 88,

00:18:40.780 didn't get anywhere

00:18:41.340 because he lied

00:18:41.940 and plagiarized.

00:18:42.920 Then he ran

00:18:43.420 in 2008,

00:18:44.240 didn't get anywhere

00:18:44.960 because he's nobody,

00:18:45.980 because he's nothing.

00:18:47.240 And now you're

00:18:47.820 going to say

00:18:48.100 after two

00:18:48.660 different times

00:18:49.540 in the 80s,

00:18:50.860 in the 2000s,

00:18:52.180 now,

00:18:53.820 10 years later,

00:18:55.180 all of a sudden

00:18:55.820 Joe Biden

00:18:56.260 is the most

00:18:56.640 electable candidate?

00:18:58.120 People aren't 0.94

00:18:58.800 going to believe

00:18:59.340 that.

00:18:59.680 You can't,

00:19:00.760 you can't just

00:19:01.500 keep lying to them

00:19:02.420 all the time.

00:19:04.260 Same thing,

00:19:04.760 not just in the

00:19:05.260 presidential race.

00:19:06.300 This is true

00:19:06.720 at the governor's

00:19:07.300 level.

00:19:07.820 This is true

00:19:08.360 at the Senate level.

00:19:09.840 Stacey Abrams,

00:19:10.840 do you remember

00:19:11.160 Stacey Abrams?

00:19:12.000 Stacey Abrams

00:19:12.720 ran for governor

00:19:14.100 of Georgia.

00:19:14.720 She was like a

00:19:15.480 representative

00:19:16.940 in the Georgia

00:19:17.600 House of Representatives.

00:19:19.240 Stacey Abrams

00:19:19.800 runs for governor

00:19:20.440 of Georgia

00:19:20.840 against Brian Kemp

00:19:21.700 and she loses

00:19:22.620 in 2018.

00:19:24.480 She didn't even 0.80

00:19:25.080 lose by a little.

00:19:26.120 It's not like

00:19:26.540 it was 300 votes

00:19:27.600 that separated it.

00:19:28.660 She lost 50.2 0.92

00:19:30.220 to 48.8.

00:19:32.160 So, you know,

00:19:32.960 close election,

00:19:33.620 but not that close.

00:19:34.840 Didn't even trigger

00:19:35.820 an automatic recount.

00:19:37.400 If it had been closer,

00:19:38.420 it would have gotten

00:19:38.680 an automatic recount.

00:19:39.580 She was trying

00:19:39.980 to get the recounts

00:19:40.700 to get to the

00:19:41.260 automatic recount.

00:19:42.020 Then, after it

00:19:44.000 became clear

00:19:44.480 that she lost,

00:19:45.640 she wouldn't concede.

00:19:46.680 She still hasn't

00:19:47.580 really conceded.

00:19:48.760 She still pretends

00:19:49.620 that the election

00:19:50.160 was stolen from her

00:19:51.100 unfairly.

00:19:52.300 Now she's coming out

00:19:53.280 with a new book.

00:19:53.860 I kid you not.

00:19:54.860 Stacey Abrams,

00:19:56.880 Georgia House

00:19:57.820 of Representatives,

00:19:59.200 failed candidate

00:20:00.000 for governor.

00:20:00.660 This is her new book.

00:20:02.560 The Abrams Playbook,

00:20:04.600 The Strategy

00:20:05.320 and Path

00:20:06.020 to Victory

00:20:06.840 in 2020.

00:20:07.900 She better lawyer up 1.00

00:20:11.120 because I am going

00:20:12.600 to sue Stacey Abrams

00:20:14.020 for plagiarism

00:20:14.840 because I suspect

00:20:16.880 that the content

00:20:18.000 in her book

00:20:18.600 is exactly the same

00:20:19.700 as the content

00:20:20.540 in my best-selling

00:20:21.480 blank book,

00:20:22.540 Reasons to Vote

00:20:23.120 for Democrats,

00:20:23.760 A Comprehensive Guide.

00:20:27.720 The Abrams Playbook,

00:20:29.360 The Strategy

00:20:29.820 and Path

00:20:30.180 to Victory

00:20:30.560 in 2020.

00:20:31.440 The O.J. Simpson Playbook,

00:20:33.200 The Strategy

00:20:33.720 and Path

00:20:34.200 to a Happy Marriage.

00:20:35.140 Absolutely

00:20:36.480 Absurd.

00:20:40.020 She lost.

00:20:41.700 She lost.

00:20:43.920 But every single time

00:20:45.920 the Democrats

00:20:46.440 go all in,

00:20:48.620 she didn't really lose.

00:20:49.840 Stacey,

00:20:50.360 this is it.

00:20:51.180 Okay,

00:20:51.440 we lost this race, 0.95

00:20:52.160 we lost that race.

00:20:52.920 We lost 2016,

00:20:54.100 we lost this one

00:20:55.720 after that,

00:20:56.180 this one after that,

00:20:56.760 this one after that.

00:20:57.100 But Abrams,

00:20:58.100 she's going to be the one.

00:20:59.800 Put all your money here.

00:21:00.940 Donate all your money here.

00:21:01.780 Go out.

00:21:02.220 This is it.

00:21:02.860 This is the turning point

00:21:04.000 in America.

00:21:04.580 And then she loses.

00:21:06.760 But they can't admit defeat.

00:21:08.220 They can't admit

00:21:08.800 that they failed.

00:21:09.380 So they say,

00:21:09.680 no,

00:21:09.860 she didn't really lose.

00:21:11.960 The base

00:21:12.820 is tired

00:21:14.500 of being lied to.

00:21:16.020 The Republican base

00:21:16.940 gets tired

00:21:17.580 of being lied to sometimes.

00:21:18.880 I think

00:21:19.100 that was a lot

00:21:21.060 of the frustration

00:21:21.680 that led to President Trump

00:21:23.020 is at least Trump

00:21:23.720 offered something different.

00:21:24.920 He offered different

00:21:25.560 policy proposals

00:21:26.440 no matter what

00:21:27.300 other people tell you.

00:21:28.980 Other people say

00:21:29.760 Trump only got elected

00:21:30.880 because,

00:21:31.760 you know,

00:21:32.380 he made jokes

00:21:32.960 on the campaign trail.

00:21:33.820 President Trump

00:21:34.680 offered

00:21:35.200 actually different policies

00:21:37.140 than other candidates

00:21:38.480 in that race

00:21:39.060 and than other candidates

00:21:39.780 in recent memory.

00:21:41.640 And they went for him

00:21:42.720 because

00:21:42.980 people on both sides

00:21:45.540 of the aisle

00:21:45.880 are tired

00:21:46.400 of being lied to.

00:21:47.620 And speaking of Georgia,

00:21:49.060 Democrats now have

00:21:49.820 a new Senate candidate

00:21:50.580 in Georgia.

00:21:51.460 And second verse

00:21:52.580 is the same

00:21:53.160 as the first.

00:21:54.100 The guy who's running

00:21:55.140 for Senate in Georgia,

00:21:57.300 now see if you remember

00:21:58.020 this name,

00:21:59.240 John Ossoff.

00:22:01.400 Do you remember that name?

00:22:02.140 I do.

00:22:03.000 I miss John Ossoff

00:22:03.920 because John Ossoff

00:22:05.000 in 2017,

00:22:06.600 he was the Democrats'

00:22:08.640 it boy.

00:22:09.500 He was Stacey Abrams

00:22:10.720 before Stacey Abrams.

00:22:11.880 He was Beto O'Rourke

00:22:13.080 before Beto O'Rourke.

00:22:14.940 John Ossoff was the guy.

00:22:16.040 He was running

00:22:16.480 in Georgia's

00:22:17.140 6th congressional district,

00:22:18.460 I think,

00:22:18.980 which had been

00:22:19.500 Tom Price's seat.

00:22:20.960 Tom Price had left it

00:22:22.360 to go serve

00:22:23.380 as HHS secretary.

00:22:24.840 Before that,

00:22:25.280 it was Newt Gingrich's seat.

00:22:26.520 This was a hot seat.

00:22:29.080 Democrats run this

00:22:29.880 nobody pretty boy

00:22:30.780 named John Ossoff.

00:22:32.440 For six months,

00:22:33.420 Ossoff was the biggest

00:22:34.400 name in town.

00:22:36.720 The race ends up being

00:22:38.300 the most expensive

00:22:39.820 House race

00:22:40.940 in U.S. history.

00:22:43.240 Costs 55 million dollars.

00:22:46.380 Democrats,

00:22:46.940 put all your money here.

00:22:47.960 Here's how you're

00:22:48.480 going to win.

00:22:49.200 This is it.

00:22:49.740 This is the referendum

00:22:50.540 on Trump.

00:22:51.440 Sure,

00:22:51.660 we lost in 2016,

00:22:52.960 but now,

00:22:53.720 the first election

00:22:54.340 after that,

00:22:54.880 we're going to win this

00:22:55.920 and accept,

00:22:56.520 they accept he lost.

00:22:58.120 He lost.

00:22:58.960 It was not the beginning

00:22:59.900 of the resistance.

00:23:00.640 He lost.

00:23:01.140 So now,

00:23:01.720 what?

00:23:01.920 He lost.

00:23:02.380 What's going to happen?

00:23:03.760 He's going to run again,

00:23:04.680 of course,

00:23:05.600 and this time,

00:23:06.460 he's running for Senate.

00:23:08.780 This time,

00:23:09.500 it'll be different, guys.

00:23:10.800 This is Beto O'Rourke syndrome.

00:23:12.340 This is Democrats failing up.

00:23:14.580 This is Democrats

00:23:15.660 relieving themselves

00:23:17.000 on your thigh

00:23:17.880 and telling you

00:23:18.800 that it's raining.

00:23:21.460 Remember,

00:23:21.860 Beto was going to be

00:23:22.560 the next big thing.

00:23:23.660 Dumped all that money

00:23:24.280 into Texas,

00:23:24.960 and then he's not.

00:23:25.520 Then he loses.

00:23:25.980 Beto loses

00:23:28.680 his Senate race

00:23:29.580 in Texas,

00:23:30.340 so he runs for president.

00:23:32.260 John Ossoff loses

00:23:33.120 his House race

00:23:33.940 in Georgia,

00:23:34.660 so he runs for the Senate.

00:23:36.320 They want their candidates

00:23:37.420 to fail up,

00:23:38.500 and the whole Ossoff campaign

00:23:39.980 was dishonest, 0.80

00:23:41.360 even right down

00:23:42.340 to his engagement.

00:23:44.200 John Ossoff

00:23:44.800 is this kind of weird,

00:23:45.980 single,

00:23:46.520 nothing guy,

00:23:47.560 and so as he's running,

00:23:48.800 he decides he's going

00:23:49.740 to get engaged

00:23:50.380 to his longtime girlfriend.

00:23:51.640 Okay,

00:23:51.900 that's good.

00:23:53.540 That was two years ago.

00:23:55.000 The guy's still not married.

00:23:56.040 It was all just a farce.

00:23:57.060 It was all just a fake.

00:23:58.480 He was just a total

00:23:59.340 empty suit.

00:24:00.880 Even that part of it

00:24:01.940 was a sham,

00:24:02.860 and the Democrats,

00:24:04.180 to their credit,

00:24:05.320 are tired of being lied to.

00:24:07.040 You see this with one

00:24:07.720 of their presidential

00:24:08.340 candidates, actually.

00:24:09.740 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:24:11.500 who is now being kept

00:24:12.980 out of the next

00:24:13.500 Democratic debate,

00:24:14.840 is basically saying

00:24:15.960 enough is enough.

00:24:16.780 She is the one

00:24:18.000 Democratic candidate

00:24:19.160 to come out

00:24:20.140 and start challenging

00:24:21.400 Democratic,

00:24:22.780 leftist,

00:24:23.740 radical,

00:24:24.300 2019 orthodoxy.

00:24:25.600 We'll get to that

00:24:26.340 in one second,

00:24:26.860 but first,

00:24:27.320 I have to thank our friends

00:24:49.960 I was very skeptical

00:24:50.940 of this.

00:24:51.940 When I first heard

00:24:52.860 about Paint Your Life,

00:24:53.580 I said,

00:24:53.840 there's no way

00:24:54.260 I'm going to get

00:24:55.460 a real painting,

00:24:56.660 a real true painting

00:25:06.340 So I said,

00:25:06.720 okay,

00:25:07.100 my stepbrother got married.

00:25:08.400 I was the best man

00:25:09.540 in the wedding.

00:25:10.320 So one of the gifts

00:25:11.260 I get him

00:25:11.680 is this really nice,

00:25:14.060 it was a photo

00:25:15.020 from Grand Central

00:25:16.320 of him and his bride

00:25:17.760 and I sent it in

00:25:19.040 and I said,

00:25:19.420 okay,

00:25:19.560 do a painting out of this.

00:25:20.700 I was floored

00:25:21.700 with how incredible

00:25:23.020 this painting looks.

00:25:23.960 It is unbelievable.

00:25:25.460 He was floored,

00:25:26.260 she was floored.

00:26:23.640 We have got to get to

00:26:24.700 the dumbest article 0.83

00:26:25.480 on the internet today.

00:26:26.940 We have so much more,

00:26:28.260 but you've got to go

00:26:28.820 to dailywire.com

00:26:31.200 to do it.

00:26:31.640 You get me.

00:26:32.480 You get the Andrew Klavan show.

00:26:34.360 You get the Men's Shabiro show. 0.51

00:26:35.800 You get to ask questions

00:26:36.720 in the mailbag,

00:26:37.520 which is coming up

00:26:38.360 on Thursday, by the way.

00:26:39.660 You get another kingdom,

00:26:41.220 which we've started

00:26:42.560 recording season three.

00:26:43.480 It's super fun.

00:26:44.280 And you get

00:26:44.960 the Leftist Tears Tumblr,

00:26:46.100 which is so important.

00:26:47.540 You can probably hear

00:26:48.340 I'm a little under

00:26:48.840 the weather today.

00:26:49.480 I'm a little stuffy.

00:26:50.520 So some people like

00:26:51.320 to make a hot toddy.

00:26:52.560 I love a good hot toddy.

00:26:53.960 You put a little bourbon

00:26:55.060 in there.

00:26:55.500 You put a little honey.

00:26:57.400 You put some lemon.

00:26:59.040 The key is the saline solution.

00:27:01.740 And the greatest saline solution,

00:27:03.120 of course,

00:27:03.900 are Leftist Tears.

00:27:04.860 Go to dailywire.com.

00:27:05.920 We'll be right back

00:27:06.560 with a lot more.

00:27:17.900 All right.

00:27:18.860 So we have got to get to

00:27:20.440 woke Tulsi Gabbard.

00:27:22.900 Tulsi Gabbard,

00:27:23.740 you'll remember,

00:27:24.660 she is, I think,

00:27:25.660 wanted for murdering

00:27:27.780 Kamala Harris

00:27:28.420 during that presidential debate

00:27:30.020 a few weeks ago.

00:27:31.060 She came out

00:27:31.780 and just absolutely went

00:27:33.020 for the jugular

00:27:33.700 on Kamala's career.

00:27:35.740 And Tulsi,

00:27:37.480 I think,

00:27:37.880 probably as a result of that

00:27:38.940 is being kept out

00:27:39.580 of the Democratic debates.

00:27:41.100 She's probably

00:27:42.060 the most interesting candidate

00:27:43.420 in that party right now.

00:27:45.120 Very dovish

00:27:46.740 on foreign policy.

00:27:48.180 Nearly isolationist,

00:27:49.280 you might say.

00:27:50.000 Though she has

00:27:50.640 military service herself,

00:27:51.980 so she's got

00:27:52.540 some sort of

00:27:53.380 personal credibility.

00:27:55.060 She went on

00:27:55.540 Dave Rubin's show.

00:27:57.420 As far as I can tell,

00:27:58.820 the only Democratic candidate

00:28:00.020 to do that.

00:28:00.600 Andrew Yang did as well.

00:28:02.680 And Tulsi,

00:28:03.360 goes on Dave Rubin's show.

00:28:05.800 She finally,

00:28:07.520 unlike every other candidate

00:28:08.640 on that stage,

00:28:09.800 decided to break

00:28:10.820 from the radical,

00:28:12.000 increasingly radical,

00:28:13.500 leftist orthodoxy.

00:28:15.460 Actually,

00:28:15.980 on a few different issues.

00:28:17.300 Beginning,

00:28:18.060 even with the central

00:28:19.640 anti-Trump

00:28:20.960 Democratic issue,

00:28:22.580 open borders.

00:28:23.760 She,

00:28:24.280 you know,

00:28:24.500 we've heard now

00:28:25.100 from a lot of people

00:28:25.840 on the left,

00:28:26.340 they'll say,

00:28:27.020 open borders isn't real.

00:28:29.100 It's a Republican

00:28:29.860 talking point.

00:28:30.800 It's propaganda.

00:28:31.740 Nobody really is calling

00:28:32.740 for open borders.

00:28:34.200 Now,

00:28:34.360 of course,

00:28:34.620 they are.

00:28:35.300 I mean,

00:28:35.540 they're openly calling

00:28:36.580 for the decriminalization

00:28:37.740 of border crossings.

00:28:38.840 They're calling

00:28:39.340 for massive amnesty.

00:28:40.720 They're calling

00:28:41.120 to halt deportation.

00:28:42.140 They're calling

00:28:42.860 to abolish immigration 1.00

00:28:43.980 and customs enforcement.

00:28:45.100 They are certainly

00:28:46.560 calling for open borders,

00:28:48.020 but so far,

00:28:49.360 the Democratic Party

00:28:50.000 has been in lockstep

00:28:50.900 denying this.

00:28:51.900 Tulsi Gabbard

00:28:52.500 comes right out

00:28:53.160 on the Rubin Show

00:28:53.860 and admits

00:28:55.100 the Democrats

00:28:55.980 are for open borders

00:28:56.840 and she's not.

00:28:58.140 I don't,

00:28:58.680 I don't support

00:28:59.320 open borders.

00:29:00.480 Without secure borders,

00:29:01.860 we don't really

00:29:02.200 have a country.

00:29:03.720 And while some

00:29:05.440 of the other

00:29:05.900 Democratic candidates

00:29:06.660 will say,

00:29:07.120 well,

00:29:07.200 open borders,

00:29:07.900 that's a conservative argument

00:29:09.120 and that's not really

00:29:10.360 what's being advocated for.

00:29:11.420 If you look at

00:29:11.820 the practical implications

00:29:12.880 of some of the things

00:29:13.640 they're pushing for,

00:29:14.840 it is essentially

00:29:15.800 open borders.

00:29:17.540 Absolutely right.

00:29:18.940 By the way,

00:29:19.720 just as a practical note

00:29:22.080 to the other

00:29:22.840 Democratic candidates,

00:29:24.340 we're not talking

00:29:25.580 about John Hickenlooper.

00:29:26.620 We're not talking

00:29:27.200 about Tim Ryan.

00:29:28.240 We're not talking

00:29:28.820 about Eric Swalwell.

00:29:29.880 I think he's out of the race.

00:29:30.860 We're not talking

00:29:31.480 about Jay Inslee.

00:29:33.160 We're not talking

00:29:33.880 about Amy Klobuchar.

00:29:36.700 We're just not talking

00:29:37.600 about these people

00:29:38.300 because they're not

00:29:38.960 serious candidates.

00:29:40.640 We are talking

00:29:41.740 about Tulsi Gabbard

00:29:42.700 who's also polling

00:29:44.380 very low.

00:29:46.020 Why?

00:29:47.740 Because while

00:29:48.940 all of those other

00:29:49.820 candidates are trying

00:29:50.580 to be the poor man's

00:29:51.440 Joe Biden

00:29:52.060 or the poor man's

00:29:53.300 Liz Warren

00:29:53.820 or the poor man's

00:29:54.660 Kamala Harris,

00:29:55.900 Tulsi Gabbard

00:29:56.700 is her own woman.

00:29:58.480 She is her own candidate. 0.77

00:29:59.680 I don't agree with her

00:30:00.480 on most things

00:30:01.340 but at least

00:30:02.480 she's offering

00:30:03.320 something different.

00:30:05.300 She's actually

00:30:06.260 giving voters

00:30:07.120 a choice,

00:30:08.620 not an echo,

00:30:09.460 what the conservative

00:30:10.160 activist Phyllis Schlafly

00:30:11.420 talked about

00:30:12.360 at the beginning

00:30:12.800 of the post-war

00:30:13.820 conservative movement.

00:30:15.920 Tulsi Gabbard

00:30:16.440 is offering something

00:30:17.340 different.

00:30:18.940 And I think

00:30:20.500 it makes her

00:30:20.920 much more interesting.

00:30:21.860 I think it's

00:30:22.360 her best shot.

00:30:23.380 I think a lot

00:30:24.040 of these other candidates

00:30:24.720 should try to break

00:30:25.360 lockstep if they

00:30:26.340 want to break out

00:30:27.040 as well.

00:30:27.940 And Tulsi Gabbard

00:30:28.720 didn't just touch

00:30:29.440 open borders

00:30:30.100 which is a major

00:30:31.700 democratic issue.

00:30:33.700 Third rail,

00:30:34.880 you know,

00:30:35.160 at least on the left

00:30:36.020 where you can't touch it

00:30:36.980 or you'll zap yourself.

00:30:38.640 She even went

00:30:39.300 after abortion

00:30:40.060 at a time

00:30:40.800 when the left

00:30:41.860 is moving

00:30:43.780 dramatically

00:30:44.740 into not just

00:30:46.460 they support abortion 0.89

00:30:47.680 or late term abortion

00:30:48.800 or abortion

00:30:49.660 at the point of birth

00:30:50.320 or post-birth abortion

00:30:51.800 in the case of

00:30:52.580 Ralph Northam,

00:30:53.560 governor of Virginia.

00:30:55.040 Abortion as babies 0.98

00:30:55.820 are being born

00:30:56.380 if you look at

00:30:56.960 Andy Cuomo,

00:30:57.740 governor of New York.

00:30:59.760 Tulsi Gabbard

00:31:00.380 comes out and says,

00:31:01.240 yeah,

00:31:01.380 I think that abortion 0.98

00:31:02.340 should really not

00:31:03.200 be permitted

00:31:03.680 in the third trimester.

00:31:06.500 A woman should have 1.00

00:31:07.560 the right to choose

00:31:08.240 and I will stand up

00:31:09.320 and fight to protect

00:31:10.380 her right to do so.

00:31:11.500 off point for that?

00:31:12.640 I think the third trimester,

00:31:14.140 unless a woman's life 1.00

00:31:16.260 or severe health consequences

00:31:19.580 is at risk,

00:31:21.180 then there shouldn't be

00:31:22.640 an abortion

00:31:23.060 in the third trimester.

00:31:25.340 This is obvious.

00:31:26.480 This is common sense.

00:31:27.580 You shouldn't kill babies

00:31:28.600 that obviously look like babies 0.55

00:31:30.900 that are in every way

00:31:32.100 recognizable as babies.

00:31:33.500 I mean,

00:31:34.460 people wouldn't have

00:31:36.120 really disagreed with this

00:31:37.360 years ago.

00:31:38.960 But now,

00:31:39.920 for her to say that

00:31:40.740 is radical.

00:31:42.480 I give her a lot of credit

00:31:43.340 for it

00:31:43.980 because

00:31:44.400 maybe it's not going

00:31:46.560 to do her favors

00:31:47.280 in terms of winning

00:31:48.420 the nomination,

00:31:49.460 but it makes her

00:31:50.700 her own person

00:31:51.500 and I hope it's really

00:31:52.720 what she believes.

00:31:53.860 Now,

00:31:54.200 the thing you've got

00:31:55.200 to remember though

00:31:56.080 while we're talking

00:31:56.860 about how great

00:31:57.500 woke Tulsi Gabbard is,

00:31:58.800 is she's still terrible.

00:32:01.020 She's still awful.

00:32:02.800 She's not someone 0.70

00:32:04.020 who should ever be

00:32:04.620 the president

00:32:05.000 of the United States.

00:32:06.360 Sometimes conservatives

00:32:07.320 fall into this trap.

00:32:08.800 We fall into

00:32:09.400 the strange new respect

00:32:10.380 trap.

00:32:11.200 The strange new respect

00:32:12.120 trap is that

00:32:12.800 you almost always

00:32:14.140 see this on the left,

00:32:15.260 which is that

00:32:16.000 the minute that

00:32:16.560 a Republican starts

00:32:17.600 criticizing other Republicans

00:32:19.500 or the minute

00:32:20.320 that a conservative

00:32:20.940 starts criticizing

00:32:21.700 other conservatives,

00:32:22.940 the left will say,

00:32:23.840 wow,

00:32:24.280 I have a strange

00:32:25.320 new respect

00:32:26.040 for John McCain.

00:32:28.600 See,

00:32:28.800 they hated him before

00:32:29.760 when he posed

00:32:30.220 a threat to them,

00:32:30.960 but now that he's

00:32:31.680 being useful to them,

00:32:33.260 they will praise him.

00:32:35.280 Oh,

00:32:35.780 yeah,

00:32:36.220 I called Bill Kristol

00:32:37.780 a Nazi warmonger

00:32:39.200 a few years ago,

00:32:39.960 but now I have

00:32:40.700 a strange new respect

00:32:41.900 for Bill Kristol.

00:32:43.000 And sometimes people

00:32:44.060 on the right can do this too.

00:32:45.320 We shouldn't fall

00:32:45.940 into that trap.

00:32:47.400 Tulsi Gabbard says,

00:32:48.340 yeah,

00:32:48.440 we shouldn't kill babies

00:32:49.480 like as they're being born.

00:32:50.960 And we say,

00:32:51.360 wow,

00:32:51.740 great job,

00:32:52.440 Tulsi.

00:32:52.860 Oh my gosh,

00:32:53.680 wonderful.

00:32:54.300 Yeah,

00:32:54.480 I think a nation

00:32:55.080 should have borders.

00:32:55.820 Oh my God,

00:32:56.520 it's stellar,

00:32:57.220 amazing.

00:32:57.720 No,

00:32:58.060 she's still a radical

00:32:59.340 left winger

00:33:00.100 and she still supports

00:33:02.200 abortions up until 0.87

00:33:03.400 the very end,

00:33:05.260 you know,

00:33:05.500 up until the third trimester.

00:33:07.060 She still doesn't think

00:33:08.720 that we should

00:33:09.320 do anything seriously

00:33:12.160 to reduce the number

00:33:13.340 of foreign nationals

00:33:14.120 in our country

00:33:14.640 or seriously

00:33:15.440 to secure our borders.

00:33:17.520 She hasn't made

00:33:17.920 any hard proposals.

00:33:19.240 She's opposed the wall.

00:33:20.980 So she isn't that great

00:33:21.980 and she makes this clear

00:33:23.020 when she's talking

00:33:23.600 about abortion

00:33:24.200 because she kind of

00:33:26.060 gives away

00:33:26.780 the whole argument.

00:33:28.940 She doesn't

00:33:30.320 speak about the baby,

00:33:31.780 really.

00:33:32.020 She just talks

00:33:33.220 about the mother

00:33:33.700 and if the baby's

00:33:34.320 got to die,

00:33:34.740 the baby's got to die.

00:33:36.120 What would you say

00:33:36.560 to the people

00:33:36.900 that would say,

00:33:37.420 well,

00:33:37.540 wait a minute,

00:33:37.940 the government's

00:33:38.480 supposed to protect

00:33:39.040 life,

00:33:39.460 liberty,

00:33:40.040 and the pursuit

00:33:40.600 of happiness.

00:33:41.120 What about the life

00:33:41.700 of the fetus?

00:33:42.480 You're just having

00:33:43.480 that supersede.

00:33:44.860 You're having the woman's 1.00

00:33:45.640 rights just supersede.

00:33:46.540 A woman is the one 1.00

00:33:48.880 who's got to live

00:33:49.520 with whatever decision

00:33:50.640 that she makes

00:33:51.780 and that's where

00:33:52.840 I draw the line

00:33:53.440 and say that the government

00:33:54.260 should not be

00:33:55.040 in the position

00:33:55.600 of telling that woman

00:33:56.620 what choice

00:33:57.980 she must make.

00:33:59.560 The woman is the only one 1.00

00:34:00.800 who's got to live

00:34:01.540 if she kills her child.

00:34:03.300 Right.

00:34:05.120 If the mother

00:34:05.800 doesn't kill her child, 0.68

00:34:07.020 then both of them

00:34:07.740 got to live.

00:34:09.500 It's an amazing

00:34:10.440 little Freudian slip

00:34:12.520 that Tulsi Gabbard

00:34:13.360 has there.

00:34:14.860 Look,

00:34:15.240 yeah,

00:34:15.420 of course I support

00:34:16.220 a mother's right 1.00

00:34:16.780 to kill her own child 0.99

00:34:17.720 because the mother's

00:34:18.420 the one who's

00:34:19.000 got to live with it.

00:34:21.780 She's only the only one

00:34:24.000 who's got to live with it

00:34:24.800 if she kills the other

00:34:25.540 person involved.

00:34:27.720 Even to use the phrase

00:34:28.820 who has to live with it,

00:34:30.380 what you're saying is

00:34:31.240 the baby doesn't have

00:34:32.200 to live with it

00:34:32.700 because the baby

00:34:33.140 doesn't get to live

00:34:33.860 because the baby

00:34:34.380 is being killed.

00:34:35.340 So Gabbard's still,

00:34:36.660 you know,

00:34:36.960 terrible candidate,

00:34:37.720 should never be president.

00:34:38.740 But I do give her credit here.

00:34:40.180 And I give her credit,

00:34:40.900 it's worth watching

00:34:41.620 this whole interview.

00:34:42.380 I mean,

00:34:42.540 Dave does such a good job

00:34:43.500 with these.

00:34:44.240 But she came out

00:34:45.740 against identity politics.

00:34:47.180 She said identity politics

00:34:48.260 was a big problem.

00:34:49.360 She came out against

00:34:50.260 her rivals speaking Spanish

00:34:51.840 on the debate stage.

00:34:53.060 She kind of made fun 0.99

00:34:53.680 of them for that.

00:34:54.240 I think that's great.

00:34:55.760 I encourage

00:34:56.540 a little more diversity

00:34:57.800 in the Democratic Party.

00:34:59.260 Certainly wouldn't be

00:34:59.900 my preference

00:35:00.440 to have any of them

00:35:01.120 in office.

00:35:02.040 But at least,

00:35:03.300 you know,

00:35:03.640 if there's some debate

00:35:04.440 it means that there's

00:35:05.140 an intellectual life there.

00:35:06.840 They're not just hacks.

00:35:08.360 They're not just living

00:35:09.560 in a world disconnected

00:35:10.960 from reality.

00:35:12.100 They're actually grappling

00:35:13.280 with real issues

00:35:14.380 in real time

00:35:15.000 and real people.

00:35:15.920 And this is the reality of it.

00:35:19.460 I mean,

00:35:19.640 this is what Tulsi Gabbard

00:35:20.860 is speaking to.

00:35:21.820 The vast majority

00:35:22.960 of people in this country

00:35:24.260 oppose open borders.

00:35:27.120 They think there should be

00:35:28.100 some restrictions

00:35:28.720 on abortion.

00:35:29.640 They think people

00:35:30.800 should speak English

00:35:31.640 when they're running

00:35:32.240 for president.

00:35:33.240 They don't like

00:35:34.020 being pandered to.

00:35:35.340 Okay?

00:35:36.480 That's the vast majority

00:35:37.880 of people.

00:35:38.840 Left, right, and center.

00:35:41.180 The vast majority

00:35:42.460 of people in this country

00:35:43.340 also don't think

00:35:44.360 Trump is Hitler.

00:35:46.140 I know that the

00:35:47.120 impeach Trump crowd,

00:35:48.400 they say that

00:35:48.860 Trump is Hitler.

00:35:50.340 Most people

00:35:51.060 don't think that.

00:35:51.700 They don't think that

00:35:52.640 even about most Republicans,

00:35:54.840 but Donald Trump

00:35:55.720 is a A-list celebrity.

00:35:58.400 We've known him

00:35:59.000 for 40 years.

00:36:00.240 He's been in the tabloids

00:36:01.420 since at least the 80s.

00:36:04.320 People don't think

00:36:05.200 that guy is Hitler. 0.68

00:36:06.100 You're not fooling anybody.

00:36:09.340 And people don't like

00:36:10.580 being lied to.

00:36:11.440 Look,

00:36:11.700 the Democratic Party

00:36:12.560 is always going to try

00:36:13.180 to lie to me

00:36:13.740 or about me.

00:36:14.680 The left is always

00:36:15.540 going to try to lie to

00:36:16.460 or about me.

00:36:17.160 But they're losing

00:36:19.680 their own supporters,

00:36:20.880 I think.

00:36:22.920 You know,

00:36:23.260 people might not

00:36:24.700 like Donald Trump.

00:36:25.940 People might prefer

00:36:27.080 other candidates

00:36:27.860 to Donald Trump,

00:36:28.740 but they don't think

00:36:29.800 he's Hitler. 0.83

00:36:30.260 They don't think

00:36:30.640 he's a Russian stooge.

00:36:31.520 And if you're going

00:36:31.960 to be the hack

00:36:32.580 who keeps pushing

00:36:34.020 that narrative,

00:36:35.020 you are not going

00:36:35.820 to have any credibility.

00:36:36.840 You've got to run

00:36:37.980 on reality.

00:36:40.200 And if Democrats

00:36:41.120 can't get that message,

00:36:42.140 they're going to have

00:36:42.480 a bad time in 2020

00:36:43.540 because in the long run,

00:36:45.040 reality wins.

00:36:46.400 And if Democrats

00:36:47.440 don't get that message,

00:36:48.860 then President Trump

00:36:49.580 will win re-election.

00:36:51.460 And what are the

00:36:51.900 Democrats going to do?

00:36:52.960 They're going to pretend

00:36:54.400 that they did win.

00:36:56.440 They're going to pretend

00:36:57.040 that Trump didn't win.

00:36:58.120 They're going to pretend

00:36:58.860 all of those things

00:36:59.680 on the fantasy pages

00:37:01.160 of the New York Times.

00:37:02.740 Speaking of which,

00:37:04.240 this gets us to

00:37:05.160 the dumbest article 0.83

00:37:05.860 on the internet today,

00:37:06.640 which I have got

00:37:07.600 to get to

00:37:08.440 because this was

00:37:09.060 a very stiff competition

00:37:10.320 today.

00:37:11.120 There was an article

00:37:11.940 in Vox.com

00:37:12.980 about how we should

00:37:14.520 lower the voting age

00:37:15.440 to zero.

00:37:16.640 That was out today.

00:37:18.500 There were a lot

00:37:19.560 of articles

00:37:19.980 on the internet

00:37:20.480 that could have won,

00:37:21.140 but the one

00:37:21.580 that takes the cake

00:37:22.360 was from the old

00:37:23.780 great lady, 0.94

00:37:24.740 the New York Times.

00:37:26.280 This is the article.

00:37:28.620 What draws atheists, 0.97

00:37:31.000 Jews, and Catholics

00:37:31.940 to a Presbyterian church?

00:37:34.040 That was the headline

00:37:35.040 on the internet.

00:37:36.360 The headline

00:37:37.060 in the print edition

00:37:37.700 was,

00:37:38.680 United by Cause,

00:37:39.940 if not by Faith.

00:37:41.080 And this article

00:37:42.720 is about a church,

00:37:44.540 put it in quotes,

00:37:45.600 in a sense it's a church,

00:37:47.200 in Manhattan it says

00:37:48.240 it's a Presbyterian church

00:37:49.480 that doesn't really

00:37:53.800 talk about God.

00:37:55.240 You don't really need

00:37:55.860 to even believe in God,

00:37:57.300 much less Presbyterianism.

00:37:59.020 You just need to believe

00:38:00.140 in leftism.

00:38:02.180 And it's amazing

00:38:03.460 because it shows you

00:38:05.680 the state of religion today

00:38:07.200 and the state of politics today.

00:38:09.420 Politics is religion

00:38:10.440 for the left.

00:38:12.940 And real religion

00:38:14.300 has been dismissed.

00:38:16.240 This is the article.

00:38:17.500 At Rutgers Presbyterian church

00:38:18.880 in Manhattan,

00:38:19.660 social justice

00:38:20.540 and environmental issues

00:38:21.940 unite the congregation.

00:38:23.560 There's Bible stuff too.

00:38:25.660 That's good.

00:38:26.960 Observant Presbyterians 0.96

00:38:28.220 are always part of gatherings

00:38:29.600 at Rutgers Presbyterian church,

00:38:31.400 but much of the time

00:38:32.360 so are Roman Catholics

00:38:33.540 and Jews,

00:38:34.280 as well as a smattering

00:38:35.340 of people who consider

00:38:36.260 themselves vaguely

00:38:37.120 spiritual.

00:38:38.300 Valerie Oltarsh McCarthy,

00:38:40.360 of course she's got

00:38:41.140 a hyphenated last name,

00:38:42.340 of course,

00:38:43.000 it goes without saying,

00:38:44.640 who sat among

00:38:45.400 the congregation

00:38:46.140 listening to a Sunday sermon

00:38:47.420 on the perils

00:38:48.040 of genetically modified

00:38:49.440 vegetables

00:38:50.040 is in fact

00:38:51.300 an atheist.

00:38:53.400 A few points

00:38:54.020 of correction here.

00:38:55.700 Observant Catholics 0.99

00:38:56.840 do not go to this church

00:38:58.180 because observant Catholics

00:39:00.660 cannot participate

00:39:01.820 in other religious practices.

00:39:04.800 They cannot go to

00:39:05.780 other churches

00:39:06.360 that are not Catholic.

00:39:07.120 So by definition,

00:39:08.660 if a Catholic

00:39:09.020 is going and participating

00:39:10.040 in these services,

00:39:11.740 they are not

00:39:12.280 observant Catholics.

00:39:13.240 I simply don't have

00:39:14.480 the expertise on Jews.

00:39:15.540 You'd have to ask

00:39:16.100 our yarmulke-wearing

00:39:17.640 colleague over here,

00:39:18.680 but something tells me

00:39:19.660 a similar thing

00:39:20.560 could be said

00:39:21.040 there as well.

00:39:22.180 These other congregations,

00:39:24.020 these other denominations

00:39:25.080 that are coming in

00:39:26.160 to this quote-unquote

00:39:27.260 church

00:39:27.660 are not

00:39:28.780 actually Catholics

00:39:31.200 or actually

00:39:32.420 practicing Jews.

00:39:34.580 They are practicing

00:39:35.800 a religion,

00:39:36.580 but it's not

00:39:37.300 the religion

00:39:37.800 they're pretending

00:39:38.420 to practice.

00:39:39.620 I mean,

00:39:39.780 imagine this,

00:39:40.400 a Sunday sermon

00:39:41.080 on the perils

00:39:42.040 of genetically modified

00:39:43.040 vegetables.

00:39:43.740 Back in the old

00:39:44.460 and bad days,

00:39:45.540 we used to have sermons

00:39:46.880 on the existence

00:39:49.380 of evil in the world,

00:39:50.820 on pride,

00:39:52.040 on the virtues

00:39:52.540 and on the vices,

00:39:53.700 on how we can live

00:39:54.620 in holiness,

00:39:55.540 on man's fallen nature,

00:39:57.000 on our salvation,

00:39:58.560 on the profound

00:40:00.060 and eternal questions.

00:40:01.380 What is justice?

00:40:03.200 What is fairness?

00:40:05.240 What is our life?

00:40:06.520 Who am I?

00:40:07.580 And what is my relation

00:40:08.740 to the great I am?

00:40:10.340 Which is how God

00:40:11.080 describes himself.

00:40:12.200 I am that I am.

00:40:13.320 Those were

00:40:13.900 in the olden,

00:40:15.340 bad,

00:40:16.340 stupid days.

00:40:17.240 You know,

00:40:17.520 those silly days

00:40:18.640 when people believed

00:40:19.340 in religion.

00:40:20.160 Now we can talk

00:40:21.020 about profound things

00:40:22.000 like genetically

00:40:24.220 modified vegetables.

00:40:25.960 Finally,

00:40:26.560 now we can get

00:40:27.100 to some real deep

00:40:27.840 conversation.

00:40:28.900 The article goes on.

00:40:29.760 Typically,

00:40:31.760 the connective tissue

00:40:32.600 of any congregation

00:40:33.420 is an embrace

00:40:34.380 of a shared faith.

00:40:36.080 Yet Rutgers Church,

00:40:37.800 a relatively small church

00:40:39.060 on the Upper West Side

00:40:39.920 of Manhattan,

00:40:40.900 has rejected that.

00:40:43.800 Eh,

00:40:44.160 not quite.

00:40:45.440 They say they've rejected

00:40:46.880 their shared faith

00:40:47.720 because some say

00:40:49.660 they're Jews,

00:40:50.200 some say they're Christians,

00:40:51.120 some say they're atheists,

00:40:51.960 some say.

00:40:53.180 They do have

00:40:53.920 a shared faith.

00:40:54.540 We'll see what that is.

00:40:56.640 Sharing a belief in God,

00:40:58.060 any God at all,

00:40:58.940 isn't necessary.

00:41:01.380 Instead,

00:41:01.940 the community there

00:41:02.680 has been cobbled together

00:41:03.740 by a different code

00:41:04.820 of convictions,

00:41:05.840 pulled in by

00:41:06.340 social justice efforts,

00:41:07.820 activism against 0.91

00:41:08.600 climate change,

00:41:09.860 meal programs

00:41:10.600 for the homeless,

00:41:11.280 and a task force

00:41:12.000 to help refugee families.

00:41:15.100 They are brought together

00:41:16.420 by a shared faith.

00:41:18.080 It's the shared faith

00:41:19.260 in leftism.

00:41:20.620 What you have seen,

00:41:21.320 we talk about how

00:41:21.940 the left goes in

00:41:22.620 and hollows out

00:41:23.280 institutions from the inside.

00:41:25.020 So they go into Harvard

00:41:25.980 and they just,

00:41:27.160 like a bunch of termites,

00:41:28.820 they hollow out

00:41:29.520 the inside of Harvard.

00:41:30.600 So from the outside,

00:41:31.480 it still looks like Harvard,

00:41:32.680 but the inside,

00:41:33.480 it's not.

00:41:33.980 It's been eaten away

00:41:35.040 by the left.

00:41:36.860 That's what they've done

00:41:37.560 to this church.

00:41:38.460 So from the outside,

00:41:39.260 I guess it looks like a church,

00:41:41.120 Presbyterian church,

00:41:42.240 but it's not.

00:41:44.960 And it's not the case

00:41:45.980 that they're not united

00:41:46.680 by a shared faith.

00:41:47.500 They are.

00:41:47.820 It's the shared faith

00:41:49.280 in leftist politics.

00:41:52.360 They go on.

00:41:53.740 They say,

00:41:56.440 to address shrinking congregations,

00:41:58.560 some pastors are searching

00:42:00.080 for new ways

00:42:00.760 to use their churches

00:42:01.680 and redefine

00:42:02.920 what fellowship means.

00:42:04.660 Churches have the space

00:42:05.560 and the goodwill,

00:42:06.320 after all,

00:42:06.620 to commit to community works,

00:42:08.300 social justice or arts,

00:42:09.500 and educational products.

00:42:10.900 And opening their doors

00:42:11.780 in this way

00:42:12.340 can bring in those

00:42:13.240 looking for more

00:42:13.960 than a Bible study class.

00:42:16.820 Yeah,

00:42:17.380 it'll bring in people

00:42:18.220 explicitly who aren't

00:42:19.100 looking for a Bible study class.

00:42:20.320 They're trying to address

00:42:21.620 shrinking congregations.

00:42:23.140 Talk about mission drift.

00:42:24.940 They're just trying to sell

00:42:26.840 whatever they can.

00:42:28.500 They're trying to redefine

00:42:29.480 what fellowship means,

00:42:30.480 but churches are not there

00:42:31.660 for fellowship.

00:42:33.140 Church is to worship God.

00:42:35.440 The mass is the highest form

00:42:37.440 of prayer.

00:42:39.240 The mass existed uninterrupted

00:42:41.480 in an uninterrupted form

00:42:42.700 for at least 15 centuries.

00:42:46.340 It then has existed

00:42:48.140 in a few different forms.

00:42:50.320 Or has had some changes to it

00:42:52.840 and some breakaways

00:42:54.940 and some dissent to it

00:42:56.120 for another 500 years after that.

00:42:58.960 That's what it's about.

00:42:59.820 It's about worship.

00:43:01.980 You know,

00:43:02.120 this is for Catholics.

00:43:04.280 This is one of the big problems

00:43:05.760 we have with some of the changes

00:43:06.880 of the Second Vatican Council.

00:43:08.600 Is they took this beautiful mass

00:43:10.120 and they made it just about us.

00:43:13.060 So for instance,

00:43:13.780 in the old days,

00:43:14.760 the priest used to face away

00:43:16.240 from everyone else in the church.

00:43:18.000 He would face away

00:43:19.240 because he's not there

00:43:20.400 to entertain us.

00:43:21.280 He's not there

00:43:21.640 to do a little soft shoe

00:43:22.600 and sing a little song.

00:43:24.340 He's not there

00:43:24.960 to make us laugh or clap.

00:43:26.680 He's there to lead us

00:43:28.280 in the person of Christ

00:43:29.760 in worship.

00:43:32.120 He is there

00:43:32.860 to lead us

00:43:34.480 to the sacrament.

00:43:36.320 We're actually

00:43:37.200 doing something.

00:43:38.940 But when the church

00:43:39.760 just becomes about you

00:43:40.960 feeling good about yourself,

00:43:42.380 well then you get

00:43:43.920 to redefining

00:43:45.000 what fellowship means.

00:43:46.500 Then you say,

00:43:46.940 why do we need

00:43:47.240 all this God stuff

00:43:48.160 when we can just commit

00:43:49.280 to community works

00:43:50.260 or arts

00:43:51.420 or educational products

00:43:52.900 or educational projects rather.

00:43:55.820 The pastor,

00:43:57.340 I put that in quotes

00:43:58.200 of this church,

00:43:59.020 says you just welcome

00:44:00.020 those who are seekers.

00:44:01.560 Seekers of what?

00:44:03.860 You know,

00:44:04.220 burglars are seekers 1.00

00:44:05.160 of jewels and money.

00:44:06.280 Do you welcome them?

00:44:07.660 You've got to be

00:44:08.200 seeking something.

00:44:09.340 To seek

00:44:09.800 means you have an object.

00:44:10.920 And in this case,

00:44:12.520 what we're seeing

00:44:13.060 in the traditional church

00:44:14.460 versus the church

00:44:16.020 of leftism

00:44:16.660 is we're seeing

00:44:17.240 those who seek God

00:44:18.200 versus those who seek

00:44:19.540 simply themselves

00:44:21.320 and their own

00:44:22.820 little political preferences.

00:44:24.560 So it goes on,

00:44:25.180 a large Black Lives Matter

00:44:26.480 banner hangs

00:44:27.300 from the front

00:44:27.860 of the church.

00:44:30.140 Okay,

00:44:30.860 that's why,

00:44:31.960 if you're going to have

00:44:32.600 these political statements,

00:44:33.580 why not all these

00:44:34.100 different political statements?

00:44:35.640 Don't all lives matter 1.00

00:44:36.860 to a church?

00:44:38.040 Nearby are colorful

00:44:39.080 Tibetan prayer flags.

00:44:40.420 Oh,

00:44:40.760 I thought it was

00:44:41.020 a Presbyterian church.

00:44:42.600 But the Presbyterian church

00:44:43.580 has Tibetan prayer flags

00:44:44.600 because the Presbyterian church

00:44:46.000 doesn't really believe

00:44:46.840 in the Presbyterian church.

00:44:50.040 But if the Presbyterian church

00:44:51.380 is going to have

00:44:51.780 Tibetan prayer flags,

00:44:52.640 why isn't it just

00:44:53.380 a Tibetan church?

00:44:55.160 Inside,

00:44:55.700 there are buttons

00:44:56.100 for worshipers

00:44:56.820 to declare their gender identity.

00:44:58.600 He,

00:44:58.860 him,

00:44:59.160 she,

00:44:59.440 her,

00:44:59.680 they,

00:44:59.920 them,

00:45:00.260 really gives new meaning

00:45:01.340 to the phrase,

00:45:02.380 in the beginning,

00:45:03.100 God created man,

00:45:03.980 both male and female,

00:45:04.900 he created them.

00:45:05.940 I guess he created them

00:45:06.780 as both male and female

00:45:07.780 all at once.

00:45:08.820 They're exactly the same.

00:45:11.280 This is a contradiction.

00:45:12.920 If you're going to have

00:45:13.300 56 genders,

00:45:14.540 that is a contradiction

00:45:15.480 of the book of Genesis.

00:45:17.020 During services,

00:45:17.780 worshipers recite

00:45:18.540 alternatives to the Lord's Prayer.

00:45:20.780 The Lord's Prayer.

00:45:22.020 The one prayer

00:45:22.820 that Jesus actually gives

00:45:24.500 himself verbatim.

00:45:27.060 They recite alternatives

00:45:27.960 to the Lord's Prayer

00:45:28.660 that use more

00:45:29.680 inclusive language.

00:45:31.880 And then you get

00:45:32.780 to the punchline.

00:45:33.500 one of the congregants

00:45:36.100 there says,

00:45:37.440 I'm more into

00:45:38.900 the social aspect.

00:45:40.840 I care a lot.

00:45:42.220 I care about

00:45:43.160 a lot of the people

00:45:44.140 and they care about me.

00:45:46.760 Me, me, me.

00:45:47.540 The church of the self.

00:45:48.580 And that is what you see.

00:45:50.220 Of course,

00:45:50.640 the New York Times

00:45:51.200 loves this.

00:45:51.880 They love changing

00:45:53.320 the church,

00:45:54.660 which is essentially

00:45:56.640 about selflessness.

00:45:58.140 I wish to dissolve,

00:45:59.360 as St. Paul said,

00:46:00.440 giving yourself away,

00:46:01.940 committing yourself to God

00:46:02.960 and worshiping God,

00:46:03.740 to the church of the self.

00:46:06.340 We know from

00:46:06.960 St. Andrew Breitbart,

00:46:08.100 politics is down from culture,

00:46:09.300 culture is down from religion.

00:46:10.580 No wonder

00:46:11.020 the New York Times

00:46:11.800 as a cultural institution

00:46:13.340 is celebrating

00:46:14.040 this major religious shift

00:46:15.640 because it has big,

00:46:16.580 big effects

00:46:17.700 on our politics.

00:46:20.020 Politics where I think

00:46:21.160 everyone is,

00:46:23.520 regardless of what

00:46:24.400 the New York Times says,

00:46:25.640 regardless of what

00:46:26.400 a few aging hippies

00:46:27.360 on the Upper West Side say,

00:46:29.840 I think people are tired

00:46:31.540 of being lied to.

00:46:34.380 That's true in religion,

00:46:35.540 that's true in culture,

00:46:36.320 that's true in politics.

00:46:37.260 That's good news for us,

00:46:38.180 that's bad news for the left.

00:46:39.440 That's our show.

00:46:40.140 No show tomorrow,

00:46:40.920 by the way,

00:46:41.420 but we will be back Friday

00:46:42.560 because we have to cover

00:46:43.860 that wonderful

00:46:44.880 Democratic presidential debate,

00:46:46.640 which should be a lot of fun.
