00:00:37.700 Everybody loses last night's presidential debate, so Bernie remains on top.
00:00:43.380 But the oppo file on the septuagenarian socialist is starting to leak,
00:00:48.080 and a couple of Bernie's erotic manifestos give us some insight on the Sanders campaign.
00:00:53.440 We will examine the eternal connection between creepy sex and leftist politics.
00:00:58.760 Then, CNN redefines newborn babies as fetuses that are born,
00:01:04.700 and Bernie rebuffs the Obama era.
00:01:07.060 All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:09.500 Bernie Sanders has some sick, creepy views about sex,
00:01:21.760 and it is by far the most interesting aspect of his campaign, and it really matters.
00:01:26.960 It tells us a lot about the left, which we will get to in a second.
00:01:30.520 But first, I have got to quickly cover what happened during last night's presidential debate.
00:01:36.020 During last night's debate, I was on a plane as it was landing.
00:01:39.560 The plane is landing as the debate's beginning.
00:01:41.460 I'm then running through an airport to catch a layover, and then I'm taking off,
00:01:45.620 and I'm doing my best to listen because it was by far the most wild, crazy, exciting Democratic debate so far.
00:01:53.560 They were all going after one another, and they all lost.
00:01:58.340 So, South Carolina is supposed to be Joe Biden's big comeback.
00:02:02.500 That's why South Carolina matters for the establishment of the Democratic Party.
00:02:06.600 It's Joe Biden's firewall.
00:02:08.740 He's been saying it from the beginning.
00:02:10.420 He's got to win here.
00:02:11.340 It's the first state with a large black voting population.
00:02:14.360 That's where Joe does well.
00:02:15.400 That's where Bernie tends to do poorly.
00:02:17.400 That's where Buttigieg doesn't get a single vote.
00:02:19.340 That's where Warren doesn't do very well.
00:02:21.300 And so he's got to win this, right?
00:02:24.320 How is it looking?
00:02:25.240 Unfortunately for Joe Biden, he spent most of last night, his last stand in South Carolina,
00:02:30.480 trying in vain to form an English sentence.
00:02:34.740 Maybe the most coherent part of last night, it's definitely in the top three,
00:02:39.560 was when Joe Biden claimed that guns had murdered half of the country in the last 13 years.
00:02:46.200 That has caused carnage on our streets.
00:02:48.880 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability.
00:02:58.580 150 million people.
00:03:00.460 I think that might be off by an order of magnitude or two or three.
00:03:05.400 That's probably, looking around, I don't think half of my countrymen have been murdered in the last 13 years.
00:03:11.880 And sadly, that was maybe Joe's most coherent moment of the night.
00:03:17.000 He spent much of the rest of the debate just sort of incoherently rambling.
00:03:22.200 He would randomly just stop speaking.
00:03:25.860 So he'd be mid-sentence and he'd say, okay, I'm going to stop.
00:03:28.180 Why did I stop?
00:03:29.300 I shouldn't, no one else is stopping anyway.
00:03:31.460 Okay, what's going on?
00:03:32.240 What's for dessert?
00:03:32.920 What are we having?
00:03:33.880 And the line he kept going back to, which beyond the apparent senility,
00:03:39.860 beyond the slowing down or garbling his words,
00:03:42.820 the line that's really hurting him out there, just as an ideological matter,
00:03:48.340 is he keeps saying, I'm the only one that gets stuff done.
00:03:51.220 That was the line he kept going back to all night long.
00:03:53.080 I'm the only one who's gotten anything done.
00:03:56.500 I'm the only one in this stage that actually got anything done on health care.
00:04:00.040 Okay, I'm the guy the president turned to and said, go get the votes for Obamacare.
00:04:05.780 And I noticed what everybody's talking about is the plan that I first introduced.
00:04:09.940 That is to go and add to Obamacare, provide a public option, a Medicare-like option.
00:04:15.360 If you're the only one who's gotten things done, if you've gotten so much done,
00:04:20.000 why are there still all these problems?
00:04:22.620 Right, if this is the best you could do, you've been in office since the 70s,
00:04:25.920 you've gotten all these things done, why are there so many problems?
00:04:28.820 Joe Biden goes out there, he goes, I got health care done.
00:04:31.120 Well, if you got health care done, how come 87 million Americans are still uninsured?
00:04:34.540 How come there's still this apparent crisis of health care that all the Democrats are telling us about?
00:04:39.280 Remember, Obamacare in 2008 was supposed to, and then in 2009 when it actually goes through,
00:04:43.180 was supposed to fix all of the health care problems, but it didn't.
00:04:47.720 It was supposed to give us universal health care.
00:04:49.980 It didn't. It didn't work.
00:04:51.340 All it did was raise the prices of health care and force Americans unconstitutionally to buy a product that they didn't want.
00:04:56.400 So you got it done, but there's still all these problems.
00:04:59.020 He keeps going back to it. He says, I'm the only guy who's taken on the NRA twice.
00:05:02.560 I beat the NRA.
00:05:03.720 Well, you beat the NRA. How come there's still all these shootings?
00:05:07.460 Now, maybe, here's a reasonable answer to that.
00:05:10.160 The reason there's still all these shootings is because you don't stop crime by taking away American civil rights.
00:05:15.340 Maybe the reason why there are still issues with health care is because the problem with health care is not that there was too little government.
00:05:21.500 It was that there was too much government interference.
00:05:23.820 Maybe that's just a suggestion.
00:05:25.800 Either way, the solutions that Joe Biden is proposing are pretty weak.
00:05:29.380 He doesn't have credibility on this.
00:05:30.560 He's had 50 years to fix the problems, and he hasn't done it.
00:05:34.160 The second saddest performance of the night came from A.B. Klobuchar.
00:05:38.440 Before we got into Bloomberg finally making a comeback, a little bit, a comeback, and then kind of a flop, we'll get into all that.
00:05:44.740 First, I've got to thank our friends over at Ebb Sleep.

00:07:05.040 Order today to get the sleep you need and deserve.
00:07:08.500 All right.
00:07:09.860 The second saddest performance of the night was Amy Klobuchar.
00:07:13.800 Remember, there was Amy Klobmentum coming out of New Hampshire because she finished, like, what, seventh or something, and that was supposed to be really exciting.
00:07:21.960 So Amy Klobuchar trying to grab that moderate lane from either Pete Buttigieg or Liz Warren, depending on the day of the week, and it's just not really working out that well.
00:07:32.060 Last question of the night was two parts.
00:07:35.180 Last question was, what's the biggest misconception about you, and what is your motto?
00:07:41.180 And Amy Klobuchar unintentionally gave the funniest possible answer to that.
00:07:45.680 I'd say the biggest misconception is that I'm boring, because I'm not.
00:07:52.760 Then I would say that my motto is the words of one of my political mentors, Paul Wellstone, who's sadly no longer with us.
00:08:03.260 And he said that politics is about improving people's lives.
00:08:07.280 The biggest misconception about me is that I'm boring, and my motto is politics is political or something.
00:08:17.000 Come on, Amy.
00:08:18.040 You've got to, like, jazz it up a little bit.
00:08:19.800 If you're going to say, hey, guys, I'm not really boring, then you've got to say something that isn't the most banal, basic, obvious statement for your motto.
00:08:29.540 The other candidates' answers really were not much better.
00:08:31.880 Liz Warren's was the absolute worst.
00:08:33.260 She said, the big misconception about me is that I don't eat enough, but I eat.
00:08:38.780 I just happen to be so thin.
00:08:40.260 I look too good.
00:08:41.440 Oh, what's my biggest weakness, employer?
00:08:43.360 I work too hard.
00:08:44.740 That's it.
00:08:45.280 That's me.
00:08:46.460 Whoopsie.
00:08:46.960 I know.
00:08:47.340 I really got to work on that.
00:08:48.580 It's just so, so pathetic.
00:08:50.720 Warren actually, to her credit, did get a couple shots in, but the shots misfired.
00:08:54.560 And her big line of the night, she was going for Mike Bloomberg, went for the jugular.
00:08:58.740 And it's kind of an interesting reason why she went for Mike Bloomberg.
00:09:01.960 We'll get to that in a second.
00:09:03.260 The line itself was so outrageous.
00:09:06.480 She went after Bloomberg for a rumor that Bloomberg once told a female employee of his who had become pregnant that he should, quote, kill it.
00:09:14.620 And she brought this up as such a heinous, awful, terrible thing to say.
00:09:18.300 At least I didn't have a boss who said to me, kill it, the way that Mayor Bloomberg never said that have said to one of his pregnant employees.
00:09:30.200 This is the most oblivious political attack I've ever seen.
00:09:39.140 Just yesterday, Elizabeth Warren voted against a bill that would protect babies who survive abortion and are born alive.
00:09:53.100 She voted to deny medical care to newborn babies if their mothers had tried to kill them.
00:09:59.840 And then she attacks Bloomberg for allegedly, no evidence, but allegedly saying to a female employee that she should go kill it.
00:10:07.760 Kill what, Liz?
00:10:10.080 Just a clump of cells?
00:10:10.840 You can't kill a clump of cells.
00:10:12.640 It's just a fetus, right?
00:10:14.480 How on earth could you possibly kill?
00:10:16.080 Oh, because it's a baby.
00:10:16.900 And it's bad that Mike Bloomberg said that someone should kill it, but it's good that you voted to deny medical care to the babies who didn't manage to get killed.
00:10:30.540 Is that the line?
00:10:32.300 Okay.
00:10:32.740 Very, very strange logic there.
00:10:36.480 Now, the reason that Warren was going after Bloomberg last night and not after Bernie is because her attack on Bernie Sanders totally backfired.
00:10:44.600 So Elizabeth Warren, remember, this whole campaign, Liawatha, right?
00:10:47.520 She doesn't know which way she's going to go.
00:10:49.080 Is she going to be the establishmentarian moderate?
00:10:51.000 Is she going to be the socialist radical?
00:10:53.140 It depends on the focus groups.
00:10:54.740 Depends on how the polls are looking.
00:10:56.180 So right now it looks like she's in the Bernie lane, so she should go after Bernie.
00:10:59.580 Trouble is she went after Bernie last time and it completely backfired.
00:11:02.860 So she leaked that story about how Bernie said a woman can't be elected president.
00:11:07.460 And she called him out for it on the stage.
00:11:09.520 And then it didn't work and her poll numbers tanked.
00:11:11.720 So even though she's still going for Bernie's voters, she has got to attack Bloomberg because she knows that when she attacks Bloomberg, her poll numbers among the progressives go up.
00:11:20.840 The problem for Warren is that she's just so unlikable and she doesn't know how to respond.
00:11:26.820 She can throw the first punch, but then she doesn't know how to react when people fight back.
00:11:30.740 So, for instance, she gives this ridiculous attack on what Bloomberg allegedly said.
00:11:37.140 She builds that into attack about how Bloomberg has had allegations of sexual harassment at his company.
00:11:43.700 Not against him, but at his company.
00:11:46.240 And the women who took a payout decided to sign nondisclosure agreements.
00:11:50.380 And that's terrible and the NDAs are so bad.
00:11:53.720 And then Bloomberg responds.
00:11:54.780 He said, okay, you think we should release women from these nondisclosure agreements?
00:11:58.640 We did that.
00:11:59.560 And now we've also decided as a company not to have any more nondisclosure agreements because you've asked for that.
00:12:04.740 So we've done everything you've asked.
00:12:05.880 What do you want?
00:12:06.800 And she's left there sputtering because she doesn't have an answer.
00:12:09.260 She just wants to keep banging Bloomberg over the head with that and it doesn't work.
00:12:13.960 She's unlikable.
00:12:14.840 Bloomberg actually is likable in some ways.
00:12:18.300 And he did much, much better at this debate than at the last one.
00:12:21.380 He got a lot of good jabs in at the different candidates.
00:12:24.340 And he's very good at getting jabs in at Bernie.
00:12:26.260 He got one jab in where he suggested that Vladimir Putin is hoping that Bernie gets the nomination so that Bernie loses to Trump.
00:12:35.020 Bloomberg, I'll let you respond to that.
00:12:37.020 Do you think Senator Sanders' economy would be better for America than President Trump?
00:12:40.400 I think that Donald Trump thinks it would be better if he's president.
00:12:44.560 I do not think so.
00:12:45.980 Vladimir Putin thinks that Donald Trump should be president of the United States.
00:12:49.420 And that's why Russia is helping you get elected so you'll lose to him.
00:12:57.240 He's got a great dry delivery when he's getting these jabs in at Bernie.
00:13:02.000 Yeah, Putin wants you to get the nomination because you'll lose to Trump.
00:13:05.360 Or at the last debate, he said, look, Bernie, you're a socialist who is a millionaire with three houses.
00:13:09.860 And then Bernie says, well, I live in Washington.
00:13:12.120 I work in Washington.
00:13:13.240 And Bloomberg goes, yeah, that's the first problem.
00:13:15.120 He's good like a New Yorker tends to be.
00:13:17.220 He's good at getting these little jabs in at people.
00:13:20.740 He still can't take it all the way.
00:13:22.960 He's not like Trump where he can entertain in a sort of broad spectrum of show business.
00:13:28.640 He's only got that one little lane is that he can insult people, Bloomberg.
00:13:32.120 So he tried to make a self-effacing joke last night.
00:13:35.040 That did not go very well.
00:13:36.480 I don't know which Hollywood script writer wrote this joke out for him, but it did not land.
00:13:41.960 Bloomberg tried to make a joke about what a bad job he did at the last debate, and it just fell flat.
00:13:48.620 Let me also say, because just since I have the floor for a second, that I really am surprised that all of these, my fellow contestants up here, I guess would be the right word for it, given nobody pays attention to the clock.
00:14:03.340 I'm surprised they show up because I would have thought after I did such a good job in beating them last week that they'd be a little bit afraid to do that.
00:14:10.240 Uh, hi, yes, I know that you asked me a question, but beep boop, I've been told by my programmers to tell this self-effacing joke.
00:14:21.900 Ah, beep boop, beep boop, doesn't work.
00:14:25.140 It just didn't, it was so awkward.
00:14:26.860 It was like, well, please stop this, man.
00:14:28.180 You don't, you don't need to be self-effacing, but you know, if you're going to do it, do it.
00:14:31.740 I don't, I don't know which staffer wrote that joke.
00:14:34.160 I don't know which staffer told him, by the way, uh, his biggest flaw of the debate performance, which was that he defended the government of China.
00:14:42.120 I mean, this is Bloomberg's problem.
00:14:43.980 Bloomberg, who actually has many good qualities.
00:14:45.760 He's a very successful businessman, very pragmatic manager and able manager.
00:14:50.460 He's very good at making markets more efficient, that kind of stuff.
00:14:53.440 He's just a visionless technocrat.
00:14:55.920 That's the problem.
00:14:56.840 And so he ends up at one point, he's asked about the government of China and he ends up defending the Chinese government, which is a brutal government.
00:15:05.300 You know, the, the advisor who told him to do that, it's probably the same advisor who put his face on a meatball.
00:15:10.040 It's just, it doesn't resonate with the American people.
00:15:14.660 And so he defends this tyrannical government.
00:15:17.660 He's not the only candidate, by the way, to defend tyrannical governments, but we'll get to Bernie in a second because Bernie is really the winner ultimately of this debate.
00:15:25.200 And Bernie is a creepy, creepy dude.
00:15:28.500 And Bernie's revolution is going to be pretty pervy.
00:15:30.640 So we'll get to that.
00:15:31.760 But first I'm going to talk to you about how you got to make your neighborhood safer.
00:15:36.380 And that is with ring.
00:15:38.660 Look, I live in Los Angeles, a giant city, not known for being the safest city in the world.
00:15:45.620 Just the other day, we had two guys break into our building who were trying to steal packages.
00:15:51.360 And I think they made away with a number of packages.
00:15:53.520 Luckily, they didn't make it to my door.
00:15:56.220 And if they had, I would have seen their faces because of ring.
00:16:00.020 Ring just keeps you safer.
00:16:03.260 Ring helps you stay connected to your home anywhere in the world.

00:16:58.640 Bloomberg wasn't the only guy to defend tyrannical governments last night.
00:17:03.760 Bernie Sanders, of course, did that as well.
00:17:06.560 Bernie, over the past few days, has been asked about his past support of Fidel Castro.
00:17:10.040 What does he do?
00:17:11.960 He doubles down again last night.
00:17:14.380 What I said is what Barack Obama said in terms of Cuba, that Cuba made progress on education.
00:17:22.620 Yes, I think.
00:17:23.960 Really?
00:17:25.560 Really?
00:17:26.540 Yes, because there's no comparing those two common things.
00:17:28.800 What Barack Obama said is they made great progress on education and health care.
00:17:35.420 There is no way to spin Fidel Castro to be a good guy for the vast majority of the American electorate.
00:17:43.940 It might work for Bernie Sanders' base, who don't know much about history, but it's not going to work for the majority of the American electorate.
00:17:51.180 It's going to kill him in Florida, which is why all the Republicans are hoping that Bernie Sanders gets the nomination now.
00:17:56.940 He just can't help himself because he really believes this stuff.
00:18:00.800 I mean, Bernie has been a revolutionary for a very, very long time, as we'll see in one of his manifestos from 40 years ago in just a second.
00:18:09.780 Just this very week, I think, Bernie Sanders criticized Bibi Netanyahu's government in Israel as bigoted, racist, terrible, awful.
00:18:19.000 And he praised and lauded Fidel Castro's dictatorship in Cuba.
00:18:23.980 Tells you everything you need to know about that guy's foreign policy.
00:18:26.420 Then Bernie had another terrible hit.
00:18:30.060 He steps in it again when he said that he has a jobs plan for minorities.
00:18:34.840 I kid you not.
00:18:35.980 His jobs plan for minorities is to legalize drugs so that minorities in particular can legally sell drugs.
00:18:45.840 And I'll tell you what else we're going to do.
00:18:47.840 We're going to provide help to the African-American, Latino, Native American community to start businesses to sell legal marijuana
00:18:56.540 rather than let a few corporations control the legalized marijuana market.
00:19:02.180 This is something that if you scripted it for Larry David on Saturday Night Live, they would say, no, no, no, that's too far.
00:19:09.140 It's so tone deaf.
00:19:12.040 It's so offensive to say, yeah, well, the only way we're going to get black and Hispanic people to hold down jobs is if we legalize drugs.
00:19:22.600 Because, look, all those guys can do is sell drugs, right?
00:19:25.700 So we're just going to legalize drugs and then they'll do it legally.
00:19:28.020 Are you kidding me?
00:19:29.100 Could you imagine if Donald Trump had said that?
00:19:32.000 They'd impeach him for it.
00:19:33.920 But Bernie Sanders says it and it just sort of passes by.
00:19:36.620 It's sort of just one of those cute quirks of Bernie.
00:19:39.060 Bernie really, just on the minute-by-minute play of the debate, had a pretty bad night.
00:19:44.540 He ended up getting booed when he went back for the seventh or eighth time to his favorite line about the billionaires and no longer the millionaires because he's a millionaire.
00:19:53.240 So he goes and he assails the billionaires again.
00:19:55.900 Gets a big round of boos from the audience.
00:19:58.040 Bloomberg has a solid and strong and enthusiastic base of support.
00:20:02.060 The problem is they're all billionaires.
00:20:05.760 Now, if you look, oh, dear.
00:20:10.400 Still, Bernie won because nobody did any good for themselves.
00:20:15.720 Pete had an okay night.
00:20:16.980 Bloomberg did a lot better than he did last time, but last time he did terribly.
00:20:20.460 But nobody really did that much good.
00:20:23.480 And Elizabeth Warren pretty much admitted this right off the top when she came out there as part of her strategy to ingratiate herself to the Bernie progressives.
00:20:30.100 She actually admitted that Bernie's winning the race and she even complimented him.
00:20:34.800 The way I see this is that Bernie is winning right now because the Democratic Party is a progressive party and progressive ideas are popular ideas, even if there are a lot of people on this stage who don't want to say so.
00:20:49.380 You know, but Bernie and I agree on a lot of things, but I think I would make a better president than Bernie.
00:20:56.940 And the reason for that is that getting a progressive agenda enacted is going to be really hard and it's going to take someone who digs into the details to make it happen.
00:21:07.280 This is a bad idea.
00:21:08.240 I know why she did it.
00:21:09.420 I mean, she's realizing that there aren't that many paths left to her in the race, and so she's just saying, please, Bernie voters, please, I really like you, I really like you, just come on over to me and leave your man Bernie.
00:21:19.620 It's not going to work.
00:21:20.800 You can't out Bernie Bernie.
00:21:23.800 You can't do it.
00:21:24.560 You can't out Trump Trump.
00:21:25.960 A lot of candidates tried to do that last time in the 2016 race.
00:21:29.400 It doesn't work.
00:21:29.820 Do you remember when Marco Rubio decided, because he was losing, Trump's poll numbers were winning, that he was just going to go out there and do a Trump impression?
00:21:36.300 So he went out and did basically a round of insult comedy, made fun of Donald Trump's hands, suggested that other body parts were small.
00:21:43.320 And it just, it doesn't land.
00:21:45.600 You know, the voters can smell this.
00:21:48.460 They can sense it when you're being inauthentic or you're being flattering or ingratiating.
00:21:53.300 And it doesn't work, especially for someone as unconventional as Donald Trump or a candidate as radical as Bernie Sanders.
00:22:02.000 She's not going to out Bernie Bernie, and she's probably going to lose, and Bernie is probably going to win it.
00:22:06.140 Because even though he did terribly at the debate last night, he actually won it because nobody else did well either.
00:22:11.780 Bernie Sanders may be the guy.
00:22:14.660 And if Bernie Sanders is the guy, it's time to start taking a closer look at what this guy believes.
00:22:20.000 Because unlike, say, President Trump, President Trump is a guy who entered politics without a totally hardened ideological view, right?
00:22:31.640 His view of politics was, I can do it.
00:22:33.120 I'm really good at fixing things.
00:22:34.320 I'm going to fix things.
00:22:35.120 But he's not an ideologue, okay?
00:22:36.700 He wasn't, he's not a Marxist.
00:22:38.420 He's not a libertarian.
00:22:41.440 He's not, he hasn't, like, studied the intricacies of ideology.
00:22:45.740 Bernie Sanders has, and he's written about it.
00:22:47.840 And what he's written about it is creepy and weird.
00:22:51.260 He, there, a lot of people have talked about Bernie Sanders' 1972 rape essay where he talks about rape.
00:22:58.740 So he talks about how men fantasize about abusing women and how women fantasize about being abused.
00:23:04.940 That is not even the creepiest thing he's ever written about sex.
00:23:08.160 He's written something far creepier, which the Bloomberg campaign dug up.
00:23:10.960 It's called The Revolution is Life Versus Death.
00:23:13.920 This is from 1969.
00:23:15.040 We will analyze it because I don't think anybody's talking about it.
00:23:20.040 And it tells you a lot, not just about Bernie, but about leftism.
00:23:23.120 We'll get to that in a second.
00:23:23.980 First, I've got to tell you how I get over hangovers.
00:23:27.260 Now, what most people would use this for is to hydrate after being athletic, you know, doing some sporting event.
00:23:36.120 Obviously, that's not what I do.
00:23:37.240 Liquid IV.
00:23:39.240 Liquid IV's cellular transport technology delivers an optional ratio of nutrients for more efficient uptake.
00:23:45.940 So if you're a good person who's got your whole life in order, you could use this in the morning.
00:23:50.120 I mean, it's like you get that energy like you would from a cup of coffee, but you don't get the crash.
00:23:54.340 Or you'd use it after you go on a long run or something.
00:23:57.180 Me?
00:23:57.500 Not me.
00:23:57.880 After I go out for a couple Coca-Colas with the boys, come back.
00:24:01.440 It's a really good way to hydrate.
00:24:03.280 Enhanced rapid absorption into the bloodstream gives you a lasting energy boost fast.
00:24:10.200 Liquid IV can power your mornings.
00:24:12.440 Liquid IV can fuel long days at the office, and it can provide a boost for tough workouts.

00:24:29.260 It's really great.
00:24:29.960 It's convenient.
00:24:30.500 TSA-friendly, which is important.

00:24:59.320 So we had heard about this.
00:25:02.360 We had heard about this 1972 rape essay.
00:25:05.640 Hillary Clinton brought this up in 2016.
00:25:08.120 He talks about, you know, all these rape fantasies and things.
00:25:11.020 It's a creepy article.
00:25:11.960 I mean, he even refers to 13-year-olds having sex.
00:25:14.580 It's weird.
00:25:15.620 But in Bernie's defense, the point of the article is to describe how sex has gone wrong
00:25:21.800 because of our evil society.
00:25:23.560 So he's not actually defending rape or something.
00:25:26.640 I mean, I think that's an unfair attack.
00:25:29.440 However, the essay is important.
00:25:32.080 And another essay that he wrote about sex is even more important because it does tell us a lot about
00:25:36.880 his, not just his views on sex, but his views on radical politics.
00:25:40.160 This essay, called The Revolution is Life vs. Death, was published in the Vermont Freeman in November 1969.
00:25:47.140 This is when Bernie Sanders was 28 years old.
00:25:50.800 Okay?
00:25:51.060 He wasn't a freshman in college here.
00:25:53.700 Everybody writes stupid things when they're freshmen in college.
00:25:56.820 He was 28.
00:25:58.300 This guy's pushing 30 when he wrote this.
00:26:00.120 His views were pretty well formed at this point.
00:26:02.620 He still had never held down a job in his life, but he had thought a lot about his vision of the world.
00:26:08.000 I guess he still hasn't really held down a job other than working for the government for his whole life.
00:26:13.160 What's interesting about this piece is this is the revolutionary manifesto that he wrote.
00:26:20.500 It's about politics.
00:26:21.860 It's about government.
00:26:23.240 It's about economics.
00:26:24.280 But for some reason, sex is at the center of it.
00:26:28.460 And I notice this is true a lot with the left.
00:26:31.340 At the center of their revolutionary craziness, very often, it boils down to sex.
00:26:38.000 Why is that?
00:26:38.860 Bernie actually explains it in this essay.
00:26:42.080 We will get to that in a second.
00:26:43.260 First, I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.
00:26:46.660 We've got a few things to tell you about that are very exciting.
00:26:48.780 Next Tuesday, Super Tuesday, Daily Wire backstage is going to be with you the whole time.
00:26:53.660 So block out your whole night.
00:26:55.020 We're going to be doing it.
00:26:55.760 I'll probably at least have three or four cigars and be very inebriated by the end of it because of how long that night is going to go.
00:27:02.540 So check that out.
00:27:03.400 Matt Walsh has a new book out, which is superb.
00:27:05.820 It's called Church of Cowards, a wake-up call for complacent Christians.
00:27:10.800 You can get it right now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, all over the place.
00:27:14.740 It's a really important topic.
00:27:16.180 You know, there are Christians being martyred in the Middle East.
00:27:18.340 Most Christians in the United States are unwilling to even put down their smartphones for a few minutes.
00:27:23.200 So check it out.
00:27:23.700 Church of Cowards by Matt Walsh.
00:27:26.060 And by the way, Leap Day is coming up.
00:27:29.220 Leap Day happens, but once every four years.
00:27:32.120 You should go and be ready because there's going to be a very exciting deal that happens at the Daily Wire on Leap Day.
00:27:40.940 So set your calendars.
00:27:42.380 Be ready.
00:27:42.880 Waiting on the edge of your seat.
00:27:44.100 Head on over to dailywire.com.
00:27:46.100 Right now, we'll be right back with a lot more.
00:27:47.980 All right.
00:28:01.580 The revolution is life versus death.
00:28:04.180 It begins by Bernard Sanders.
00:28:07.080 Mr. Sanders, who has written several other thoughtful pieces for the Freeman, lives in Greensboro Bend,
00:28:13.520 from which vantage point he takes a penetrating look at the world around him.
00:28:17.160 You see, penetrating.
00:28:18.720 That is a pun right there.
00:28:20.960 Penetrating from the very beginning, from what the editors threw in there.
00:28:25.120 The piece begins.
00:28:26.920 There are a couple paragraphs there.
00:28:28.340 You know, it doesn't say very much.
00:28:30.140 These manifestos always get a little bit windy.
00:28:32.840 Then he goes on.
00:28:34.360 Death.
00:28:36.440 And some people actually wonder why young people rebel.
00:28:40.800 Why there is a revolution taking place.
00:28:42.900 Lies, lies, lies, invasion, napalm, torture, bombings, annihilation of whole villages, body counts, and more lies.
00:28:51.520 In defense of liberty.
00:28:53.380 Against communist aggression.
00:28:55.480 To protect American interests.
00:28:57.460 Empty phrases.
00:28:58.700 Dead words spoken by dead people.
00:29:00.800 Lies.
00:29:02.140 Democracy is a United States Congress composed of millionaires.
00:29:05.900 Now, I know that Bernie is regretting that line right now because he is one of the millionaires who's in Congress.
00:29:15.380 So, probably didn't see that one coming.
00:29:17.000 He didn't think that his future earnings potential was so great.
00:29:19.560 What he's saying is he doesn't believe in liberty.
00:29:22.600 What he's saying is he doesn't oppose communism.
00:29:25.740 What he's saying is he doesn't support American interests.
00:29:29.520 And what he's saying is he doesn't believe in democracy in America.
00:29:33.520 In a phrase, he's saying he doesn't believe in America.
00:29:37.640 It's all a lie.
00:29:38.880 They're all phonies.
00:29:39.820 He's like holding Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye.
00:29:43.300 That annoying kid in that annoying book.
00:29:45.840 It's this hyper cynicism that is fashionable among idiot teenagers before their brains fully develop.
00:29:52.020 Bernie wrote this at 28.
00:29:53.380 He wasn't 15 or something.
00:29:56.120 Bernie has always been a late bloomer, right?
00:29:58.520 He didn't get a job until he was 40.
00:30:00.520 He didn't have a major political career until he was 75.
00:30:05.080 A late bloomer.
00:30:05.960 Maybe he hasn't bloomed at all.
00:30:07.980 Actually, maybe the reason that his career is taking off now is because our culture has just finally degraded itself to his level.
00:30:14.120 He goes on.
00:30:15.500 A revolution is taking place.
00:30:18.200 Life is fighting against strangulation and death.
00:30:21.140 And life will win.
00:30:22.120 Life is young at any age.
00:30:24.520 Alive, open, and non-fearing.
00:30:26.920 Pause.
00:30:28.260 I believe by non-fearing what he means is unafraid.
00:30:31.680 I don't know if non-fearing is some like cool hip speaker.
00:30:34.500 He just didn't have a great command of the English language.
00:30:36.400 But he goes on.
00:30:38.040 Life can take his clothes off and be naked with friends.
00:30:42.500 Hmm?
00:30:43.160 He or she has nothing to hide.
00:30:45.640 There is nothing prettier than the unclothed human body.
00:30:48.500 In Miami, the American Legion sponsors a rally for decency.
00:30:52.520 Even Jackie Gleason attends.
00:30:54.540 Jim Morrison of the Doors is arrested for giving a lewd performance.
00:30:57.880 He is immoral.
00:30:59.820 Okay, so now this is the first place where it starts to transition into something about sex.
00:31:07.100 I thought we were talking about politics and revolution.
00:31:08.760 All of a sudden, we're talking about the naked human body and lewd performances and why that's not really immoral.
00:31:14.420 This is a common thread among leftist radicals.
00:31:16.780 This goes all the way back to Rousseau, who is, you know, we're talking 250 years ago now, the kind of proto-radical intellectual type.
00:31:26.060 This connection between nakedness and the truth.
00:31:31.340 You think about it, the naked truth, right?
00:31:33.060 We're going to take away all the coverings and we're going to get to the truth.
00:31:36.660 There's this utopian dream that we have to get rid of artificial things.
00:31:43.000 You hear this a lot with the crunchy, earthy people on the left especially.
00:31:46.180 If we just go back to nature, everything will be really, really great.
00:31:50.420 That's the idea.
00:31:51.560 Now, I don't think that's true.
00:31:54.120 I don't think we will – everything will be really great when we go back to nature.
00:31:58.120 But Barney explains how.
00:32:00.300 And when he explains how, this is when it gets really pervy, okay?
00:32:03.480 He says, quote, because they have been good little children and because the judge this year is liberal,
00:32:10.460 daddy is going to allow everyone who is over 18 to see I Am Curious Yellow, which was a porno film from the 60s.
00:32:18.020 Yes, you can see naked people and even sexual intercourse right in your local movie theater.
00:32:23.440 And 300,000 people over 18 lined up like good little girls and boys and saw it.
00:32:29.860 Yes, son, age 90.
00:32:31.760 That's how other people do it.
00:32:33.020 In Vermont, at a state beach, a mother is reprimanded by authority for allowing her six-month-old daughter to go without her diapers on.
00:32:40.740 Now, if children go around naked, they're liable to see each other's sexual organs and maybe even touch them.
00:32:46.360 Terrible thing.
00:32:47.640 If we bring children up like this, it will probably ruin the whole pornography business,
00:32:51.960 not to mention the large segment of the general economy,
00:32:55.040 which makes its money by playing on people's sexual frustrations.
00:32:57.860 The revolution is coming, and it is a very beautiful revolution.
00:33:03.080 It is beautiful because in its deepest sense, it is quiet, gentle, and all-pervasive.
00:33:08.680 It knows.
00:33:09.980 All right, a lot of creepiness to unpack here, right?
00:33:12.240 So what he's saying is he's kind of mocking liberal culture, which has pornography, which it says is immoral, but every so often you get to see it.
00:33:20.720 And he's criticizing that only people over 18 get to see the pornography.
00:33:27.360 What he's criticizing this whole time is that we are not introducing children to sex.
00:33:32.300 This is part of a broader theme that was going on on the left in the 60s and 70s,
00:33:36.220 which was about introducing sex to children by acknowledging children as sexual creatures.
00:33:42.020 All right, this is not some right-wing conspiracy theory.
00:33:43.800 You can read it right here in Joe Biden.
00:33:47.940 That was a Freudian slip, in Bernie Sanders' own words.
00:33:50.400 He keeps going back to how crazy it is that only people over 18 get to do this stuff, right?
00:33:57.320 It gets overtly sexual, and the image of children gets overtly sexual.
00:34:02.300 He blames clothing, right?
00:34:05.260 Going back to nakedness, he blames clothing, which is a symbol for our repressed, traditional, capitalist civilization.
00:34:11.300 He blames that for sexual dysfunction, which is symptomatic of our broader social dysfunction.
00:34:18.420 So the clothing is the kind of symbol of why everything goes wrong in our society.
00:34:23.800 And then he suggests that the cure to sexual dysfunction is for kids to run around naked,
00:34:30.080 and this is the crucial part, to engage in sexual acts with each other.
00:34:35.080 What he is literally saying in this essay is that if we were all to sexually molest each other as children,
00:34:41.300 we wouldn't grow up with sexual and social pathologies.
00:34:46.120 All right, the whole thing, this whole essay has been crazy up until this point,
00:34:50.300 but now we see it most clearly because we all know that people who were molested as children
00:34:55.980 have much, much more trouble later in life than those who were not.
00:35:00.840 It doesn't solve social pathologies.
00:35:02.520 It creates them.
00:35:03.360 But Bernie's bad sex advice is not just for children.
00:35:07.780 You know, what he's partaking of is this vision of the world, which comes from Freud,
00:35:12.020 which is that we've just got all these sexual frustrations, and we're like a steam engine,
00:35:16.640 and we've got to let the steam out.
00:35:18.180 We've got to let the pressure out because we can't repress anything.
00:35:21.440 And so we've just got to do whatever we want.
00:35:23.680 We've got to follow any desire that we have, any lust that we have, whether it's disordered or not.
00:35:27.620 Very popular idea in the late 60s.
00:35:29.900 Turns out it was completely wrong, and it's led to absolute cultural chaos and personal destruction.
00:35:35.140 But that was the idea.
00:35:37.020 And it's not just for the kids.
00:35:39.700 It's for the adults, too.
00:35:41.960 He says,
00:35:42.620 The revolution comes when two strangers smile at each other,
00:35:46.420 when a father refuses to send his child to school because schools destroy children,
00:35:52.120 when a commune is started and people begin to trust each other,
00:35:55.120 when a young man refuses to go to war,
00:35:57.760 and when a girl pushes aside all that her mother has taught her and accepts her boyfriend's love.
00:36:04.600 Now, before we get into this craziness,
00:36:07.420 the commune example is funny.
00:36:10.760 One, because virtually every commune in history has failed.
00:36:14.340 But it's especially funny here because two years after this essay was written,
00:36:19.440 Bernie Sanders got kicked off of a commune for being too lazy.
00:36:22.460 Do you know how lazy you have to be to be kicked off of a hippie commune?
00:36:28.700 Like, immobile.
00:36:30.600 Like, can't lift your arm kind of lazy.
00:36:33.320 So that's just a funny irony that we can only see now in hindsight,
00:36:37.100 because at this time, this was right before Bernie got kicked off.
00:36:40.240 But notice that last line.
00:36:42.660 That last line there is key.
00:36:44.100 When a girl pushes aside all that her mother has taught and accepts her boyfriend's love,
00:36:48.840 lets him do what he wants, accepts her boyfriend's love,
00:36:54.220 how has that worked out?
00:36:57.160 Also, in hindsight, we can test that theory against reality.
00:37:02.020 Since the sexual revolution of the 1960s,
00:37:04.720 most young women have taken Bernie's advice,
00:37:07.240 and the advice of the left generally,
00:37:08.840 and it has made them, in particular, miserable.
00:37:13.080 Rates of STDs have skyrocketed.
00:37:16.860 Abortion rates have skyrocketed.
00:37:18.900 Depression, anxiety, stress, all have skyrocketed.
00:37:22.140 People who are hooked on psych drugs because they're so depressed, skyrocketed.
00:37:26.280 Loneliness, major epidemic.
00:37:28.420 Loneliness, you can directly tie to this kind of stupid advice.
00:37:31.440 Me Too abuses.
00:37:32.340 We just saw Harvey Weinstein get sentenced to prison yesterday.
00:37:36.580 Me Too, gotten worse and worse and worse.
00:37:39.220 Even worse than it was before.
00:37:40.740 And women's happiness has plummeted,
00:37:44.560 both in absolute terms and relative to men,
00:37:47.760 according to every study we have on the subject.
00:37:51.220 You know, the line that these radicals always use is they say,
00:37:55.620 we've never tried my ideas before.
00:37:57.640 Real socialism's never been tried,
00:37:59.280 or real revolution's never been tried.
00:38:01.220 It has.
00:38:02.360 Obviously, it's been tried in other places around the world,
00:38:05.340 but these ideas, these cultural ideas,
00:38:07.520 have been tried in the United States,
00:38:08.660 and they've failed, and the historical record is very clear.
00:38:13.620 Why do revolutionary ideologies always seem to revolve around sex?
00:38:20.360 250, 300 years back, Rousseau, Ibsen, Karl Marx, Jean-Paul Sartre,
00:38:25.120 all of these radicals, these radical intellectuals,
00:38:27.780 had bizarre and creepy attitudes towards sex.
00:38:31.340 Modern leftism is completely obsessed with sex.
00:38:35.060 Sex education is one of their top issues.
00:38:37.380 Abortion on demand.
00:38:38.760 They just had another vote on it yesterday.
00:38:40.240 Wouldn't even vote to give medical care to a baby who survived an abortion.
00:38:45.440 That's how obsessed they are with abortion.
00:38:47.240 Redefining marriage.
00:38:48.760 Pete Buttigieg having a nine-year-old boy come out as homosexual
00:38:52.520 at a campaign rally on national television,
00:38:55.800 and then telling him that his identity is merely the sum total of his sexual desires.
00:39:00.600 It is weird.
00:39:01.780 It is very creepy.
00:39:03.740 And it's effective.
00:39:05.680 That's why they do it.
00:39:07.780 That's why even when they're talking about economics, somehow sex gets into it.
00:39:12.200 Even when they're talking about politics, about systems of government,
00:39:16.540 somehow sex always gets into it.
00:39:18.360 The reason for that is that sex is our most basic passion.
00:39:22.380 So in Genesis, for instance, in Gilgamesh, civilization begins with sex.
00:39:28.520 All these stories about how humanity began.
00:39:31.420 People are easily manipulated by sex.
00:39:35.620 Sex has to play an important role in any worldview.
00:39:39.940 And it also plays an important role in revolutionary politics because
00:39:43.580 if you can harness a person's sexual passions,
00:39:47.420 you can make them less rational and you can make them more malleable.
00:39:52.620 You can twist them.
00:39:53.540 That's why Bernie Sanders is so obsessed with sex.
00:39:59.000 I want to get to some more creepy sex stuff.
00:40:02.640 CNN has just redefined newborn babies.
00:40:07.160 I can't leave today without getting to this.
00:40:10.760 CNN has redefined newborn babies as fetuses that are born.
00:40:17.120 Headline, two abortion restriction bills that forced tough votes for vulnerable senators
00:40:23.480 fail in the Senate.
00:40:26.400 Quote, the second bill to be considered Tuesday is the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
00:40:31.480 sponsored by Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska
00:40:34.160 that would require abortion providers to work to preserve the health and life,
00:40:38.680 the life and health of a fetus that was born following an attempted abortion
00:40:43.560 as they would for a newborn baby or face up to five years in prison.
00:40:48.840 So they have to use the same measures that they would use on a newborn baby
00:40:52.480 as they would use for a newborn baby.
00:40:54.800 Except, wait a second, it can't be a newborn baby
00:40:56.580 because you have to save newborn babies and we want to kill this baby.
00:41:00.420 So it's got to be a fetus that was born.
00:41:03.080 This poses a major problem for the PC euphemism game here.
00:41:08.000 What is a fetus?
00:41:09.020 A fetus is the Latin word for offspring.
00:41:11.420 That's where we get the word fetus from, fetus.
00:41:13.560 It means offspring.
00:41:14.760 In modern terms, the left has defined fetus to mean
00:41:18.200 an unborn baby or a pre-born baby.
00:41:23.480 That's all it means.
00:41:25.640 Once the baby is outside of the mother, it's a baby.
00:41:28.820 But when it's inside the mother, it's a fetus.
00:41:31.540 So when a fetus is born, by the left's own definition,
00:41:35.700 it ceases to be a fetus and it becomes a baby.
00:41:39.240 Now, this is difficult if a baby survives an abortion.
00:41:45.560 And which in many cases, the baby is just killed or denied medical care.
00:41:49.820 And so Ben Sasse and these Senate Republicans are calling attention to this and saying,
00:41:53.680 wait a second, what happens when the baby survives?
00:41:55.560 You got to give it medical care.
00:41:56.880 Trouble is, it becomes a baby, according to the left, once it leaves the mother.
00:42:01.420 But if it's a baby, you can't kill it.
00:42:04.620 But if a baby and a fetus are the same thing, then it's a distinction without a difference.
00:42:08.200 So if you can't kill the baby, maybe you shouldn't kill the fetus either.
00:42:12.400 Yikes.
00:42:12.760 Democrats, Democrats blocked the bill.
00:42:16.480 Of course they did.
00:42:17.920 They needed 60 votes in the Senate to get it over procedural hurdles, and the Democrats blocked it.
00:42:24.620 Only Democrats, Bob Casey, Doug Jones, and Joe Manchin,
00:42:29.060 these are kind of red state, more conservative Democrats on a few issues.
00:42:33.740 They were the only ones who voted to give medical care to newborn babies whose mothers didn't want them.
00:42:40.180 Every other Democrat voted against it.
00:42:42.300 So what every other Democrat is saying is that we don't have a natural right to life.
00:42:47.420 There's no human right to life, whatever phrase they want to use.
00:42:50.320 The only thing that confers life is being wanted by your mother.
00:42:55.260 So if your mother doesn't want you one day, your right to life is gone.
00:42:59.240 Anybody can kill you.
00:43:00.180 It's a free game.
00:43:00.720 This is evil stuff.
00:43:04.100 Pete Buttigieg likes to point out that God doesn't belong to a political party.
00:43:07.940 God definitely doesn't belong to this political party, tell you that.
00:43:12.960 I don't make bold theological declarations, usually, about these kind of things.
00:43:18.100 Pretty sure I can make that one.
00:43:20.500 There can be legitimate disagreement among Christians on a number of political issues.
00:43:24.840 There cannot be a legitimate disagreement about this, okay?
00:43:29.700 Some issues, no disagreement is permitted.
00:43:32.780 This is one of them.
00:43:33.620 If you're a Christian, you cannot vote for a Democrat who supports this.
00:43:37.060 I guess this gets to the point of Matt Walsh's book, which is in bookstores now.
00:43:41.540 You can't do it.
00:43:43.420 The Catholic Church is very clear on this, and I know a lot of other Christian denominations are very clear on this.
00:43:48.860 You cannot do it.
00:43:50.460 If you support this kind of stuff and you're a Catholic, you can't even receive communion.
00:43:55.280 You should go confess your sin before you do it.
00:43:57.780 That's according to the church.
00:43:59.440 Same goes for socialism, by the way.
00:44:01.500 Catholic Church is very clear on socialism.
00:44:03.080 You cannot be a Catholic and a socialist, and yet so many Christians today don't want to talk about this.
00:44:08.360 They're so afraid of being involved in politics.
00:44:10.820 They say, well, no, maybe you can.
00:44:12.480 You can support slaughtering babies after they've been born, and you can support all these things and still be Christian.
00:44:17.380 No, you can't.
00:44:18.780 Two marks against the Democrats here who in previous years played down their socialism, played down their abortion extremism, so there could be a legitimate debate.
00:44:26.420 You can't do it now.
00:44:27.620 If you're Catholic, if you call yourself Christian at all and you support these things, you're doing something very, very wrong, and you should stop it.
00:44:34.320 By the way, it doesn't look like the Democratic Party is going to move to the right anytime soon, okay?
00:44:41.320 This is Bernie Sanders' party now.
00:44:42.960 There's a story that came out, who knows if it's true, that Bernie wanted to primary Barack Obama in 2012, all right?
00:44:49.180 Now, between those two, the Obama Democratic Party, which was already pretty radical, and the Sanders Democratic Party.
00:44:55.100 We are now in Sanders territory, and you've got to pick a side.
00:44:59.060 What side do you want to be on?
00:45:00.380 The side of, hmm, hey, maybe we should grow the economy and not focus on all this weird, creepy stuff, or the side of bizarre sexual manifestos and killing newborn babies and taking away all your property and socialism.
00:45:14.980 Doesn't seem like a hard choice for me, but, you know, you've got to make your own decision.
00:45:17.900 That's our show.
00:45:18.700 There's a whole lot more to get to.
00:45:19.900 By the way, I'm in D.C. right now, as you might be able to tell if you're watching this, and so we're going to be at CPAC with Verdict.
00:45:26.420 Senator Ted Cruz and I will be there doing an event tomorrow, so if you're in D.C., come on out.
00:45:31.160 It'll be a lot of fun.
00:45:32.000 Otherwise, in the meantime, get your mailbag's questions in.
