00:00:37.720 Now that the Clintons are finished and Roy Moore is on the ropes,
00:00:40.700 Democrats are spewing crocodile tears over their decades of covering up sexual abuse against women.
00:00:46.780 We'll analyze their alleged repentance.
00:00:49.440 Then, Amelia Hamilton, Jacob Berry, and Candace Owens join the panel of deplorables
00:00:53.960 to discuss that insufferable millennial card game, Cards Against Humanity,
00:00:58.400 and its vow to subvert immigration law,
00:01:00.840 the ironically named global atheist convention, Reason to Hope,
00:01:04.820 being canceled because no one wants to go,
00:01:07.000 and the poetic diction of President Trump's latest tweets.
00:01:10.400 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:12.200 Oh, we got a new vintage for the Leftist Tears Tumblr.
00:01:22.800 We have a new vintage coming out this week.
00:01:24.980 It is the Crocodile Tears Vintage.
00:01:27.420 We haven't seen these in a very long time,
00:01:29.720 but they are pouring out the likes of which we have not seen in a while.
00:01:33.500 I need to subscribe a few more times just to contain them.
00:01:36.420 Every Democrat across the spectrum is pouring out crocodile tears
00:01:41.180 now that the Clintons are no longer useful.
00:01:43.500 They can say, ah, well, yeah, Bill wasn't so nice to women,
00:01:46.420 and yeah, well, Hillary intimidated all of his victims
00:01:48.860 and smeared them in the press and ruined their lives.
00:01:51.520 But yeah, we shouldn't have done that,
00:01:52.960 but hey, we've changed now because Roy Moore is on the ropes.
00:01:55.620 Just for context, let's look at a Bill Clinton accuser
00:01:58.880 and alleged rape victim, Juanita Broderick.
00:02:01.380 Then he tries to kiss me again.
00:02:04.960 And the second time he tries to kiss me,
00:02:07.940 he starts biting on my lip.
00:02:13.880 Just a minute.
00:02:17.600 He starts to bite on my top lip,
00:02:21.980 and I try to pull away from him.
00:02:27.300 And then he forces me down on the bed.
00:02:31.380 And I just was very frightened.
00:02:36.120 And I tried to get away from him,
00:02:38.040 and I told him no.
00:02:42.360 And I didn't want this to happen.
00:02:47.540 He wouldn't listen to me.
00:02:50.980 Did you resist?
00:02:52.740 Did you tell him to stop?
00:02:54.700 Yes.
00:02:55.380 I told him, please don't.
00:02:56.780 He was such a different person at that moment.
00:03:02.080 He was just a vicious, awful person.
00:03:05.560 Is there any way at all
00:03:08.340 that Bill Clinton could have thought this was consensual?
00:03:12.060 No.
00:03:13.120 Not with what I told him
00:03:14.540 and with how I tried to push him away.
00:03:17.560 It was not consensual.
00:03:20.520 Do you know how the Clinton campaign
00:03:21.760 and the Clinton machine tried to explain this at the time?
00:03:24.920 And they said, I think it was James Carville said this,
00:03:26.880 well, you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park,
00:03:29.020 you see what happens.
00:03:30.100 That's how he explains away all of these accusers,
00:03:32.940 like Juanita Broderick.
00:03:34.240 Well, the tune has changed today.
00:03:36.440 I wonder what's different now.
00:03:37.380 I wonder what's different now in 2017
00:03:39.300 than it was when Bill Clinton
00:03:41.120 and the Clinton machine
00:03:42.040 was a force in democratic politics.
00:03:44.040 Hmm, I wonder what it could be.
00:03:45.380 The Atlantic ran a headline,
00:03:46.660 Bill Clinton, a reckoning.
00:03:48.140 They wrote, quote,
00:03:48.760 If Weinstein and Mark Halperin and Louis C.K.
00:03:51.340 and all the rest can be held accountable,
00:03:53.120 so can our former president
00:03:54.360 and so can his party,
00:03:55.600 which so many Americans
00:03:56.580 so desperately need to rise again.
00:03:59.320 There it is.
00:04:00.100 There's the whole argument.
00:04:01.140 We just desperately need the Democrats to rise again,
00:04:04.360 and that's why we're willing to do it.
00:04:05.880 At least the Atlantic was honest
00:04:07.600 about their motives
00:04:08.760 for kicking Bill to the curb
00:04:11.620 and admitting that there are horrible hypocrites
00:04:13.660 over this issue for 20 years, 30 years.
00:04:15.360 Matt Iglesias at Vox was not so honest.
00:04:19.120 He said, quote,
00:04:19.880 What he did to Monica Lewinsky was wrong,
00:04:21.840 and he should have to pay the price.
00:04:23.280 He should have paid the price.
00:04:24.640 At the time, I, like most Americans,
00:04:26.980 was glad to see Clinton prevail
00:04:28.480 and regarded the whole sordid matter
00:04:29.960 as primarily the fault
00:04:31.320 of congressional Republicans'
00:04:32.680 excessive scandal-mongering.
00:04:34.620 Now, looking back after the election of Donald Trump,
00:04:37.260 the revelations of massive sexual harassment at Fox,
00:04:40.220 the news stories about Harvey Weinstein
00:04:42.060 and others in the entertainment industry,
00:04:43.460 and the stories about Roy Moore's pursuit
00:04:45.860 of sexual relationships with teenagers,
00:04:48.180 I think we got it wrong.
00:04:49.380 Oh, do you now?
00:04:50.200 Do you now?
00:04:51.120 That's convenient timing, isn't it?
00:04:52.980 Well, at the time, I was thrilled
00:04:54.220 that they brushed all of this under the rug,
00:04:56.740 but now we could use it against Republicans.
00:04:58.840 Now we got Donald Trump.
00:05:00.360 There are some allegations against him
00:05:01.620 from random people.
00:05:02.900 There are obviously the allegations against Roy Moore.
00:05:05.280 So, mm, I think I've changed my tune now.
00:05:07.040 And do I have to protect Bill Clinton anymore?
00:05:08.440 No, I don't.
00:05:08.860 Is Hillary going to run again?
00:05:10.120 Probably, but she's useless.
00:05:11.240 Okay, good.
00:05:11.760 Now we can move on.
00:05:13.460 Jake Tapper.
00:05:14.980 Jake Tapper, we should play this clip first.
00:05:18.680 This is Jake Tapper just within the last few days
00:05:21.620 talking about Bill Clinton,
00:05:23.340 the Juanita Broderick affair in light of Roy Moore.
00:05:26.120 Maybe it's, you know something,
00:05:27.520 and maybe it's the Southern accent
00:05:29.080 that reminds me of this,
00:05:30.700 but I think we are,
00:05:32.700 and we've seen some of this in the press.
00:05:34.780 There was a story in The Atlantic
00:05:36.340 called Bill Clinton, A Reckoning.
00:05:37.980 Chris Hayes said something the other day,
00:05:41.260 and other people have.
00:05:42.860 But the accusers of Bill Clinton back in the 90s
00:05:46.580 were never given the credence
00:05:48.940 and treated with the same respect
00:05:51.300 that these women are being treated.
00:05:53.440 And I think that there is something to be said
00:05:56.460 about how society has evolved since then.
00:05:58.720 But in addition,
00:05:59.660 it's hard not to look back at that period
00:06:01.700 and think, you know what,
00:06:02.940 the media treated those women poorly.
00:06:05.380 Yeah, without a doubt.
00:06:06.780 You can't rewrite history,
00:06:08.020 but what I am concerned about now
00:06:09.480 is that I see a lot of Republicans,
00:06:11.340 people like Ann Coulter on Twitter,
00:06:13.540 going back and bringing up people
00:06:15.580 like Senator Kennedy, Clinton,
00:06:18.160 other people that did have previous acts
00:06:20.200 of sexual misconduct,
00:06:22.400 almost as a way of saying,
00:06:23.600 well, they did it.
00:06:24.380 We can too.
00:06:26.140 Well, you can't rewrite history.
00:06:27.760 That's what she said.
00:06:28.460 Well, you can't rewrite history.
00:06:30.040 What can you say?
00:06:30.560 But let's talk about more Republicans.
00:06:32.300 Yeah, well, I know, Jake,
00:06:33.480 you brought up Bill Clinton,
00:06:34.620 but look, you can't rewrite history.
00:06:36.260 Isn't that right?
00:06:37.100 Now, good on Tapper for bringing this up, I guess.
00:06:39.540 But again, this timing is just so absurd
00:06:42.240 that it's really hard for me to take him seriously.
00:06:45.200 He wrote a piece, by the way,
00:06:46.280 during the biggest Clinton scandal,
00:06:47.940 Monica Lewinsky.
00:06:48.740 He wrote a piece for Washington City Paper
00:06:50.580 titled, I Dated Monica Lewinsky.
00:06:52.760 He went on a date with her, I guess.
00:06:54.040 He said, quote,
00:06:55.060 Physically, she was pleasant
00:06:56.240 without being overwhelming.
00:06:57.760 She's a little chubby,
00:06:58.860 but she's leaps and bounds prettier
00:07:00.520 than that vacuous mugshot
00:07:02.120 beamed all over the world.
00:07:04.500 And I will say,
00:07:05.140 he does sort of defend her in that piece,
00:07:07.040 but he trotted her out
00:07:08.520 for a good tabloid article in that paper
00:07:10.840 when he was just a young reporter,
00:07:12.460 just like everybody else.
00:07:13.740 And he's had this epiphany,
00:07:15.560 the epiphany that,
00:07:16.500 oh, we should have been harder on Bill Clinton,
00:07:18.240 just right after the Clintons
00:07:19.980 are no longer useful to them,
00:07:21.280 and it would benefit Democrats
00:07:23.320 to sweep them under the rug.
00:07:24.760 Because Jake Tapper,
00:07:26.000 par excellence in recent years,
00:07:28.180 flacks for Democrats.
00:07:29.640 In the New York Times,
00:07:30.840 Michelle Goldberg,
00:07:31.900 an op-ed columnist,
00:07:33.180 wrote a piece called, quote,
00:07:35.060 I believe Juanita.
00:07:36.700 Now, she actually goes further in this piece
00:07:38.720 than her co-partisans,
00:07:40.140 and she defends the Democrats at the time.
00:07:43.300 But she says there were plenty of reasons
00:07:45.480 to disbelieve Paula Jones,
00:07:47.460 some of the accusers, et cetera.
00:07:49.000 But nevertheless,
00:07:50.280 we should throw Bill under the bus now
00:07:51.660 because he isn't useful to us anymore.
00:07:53.460 It isn't just Bill Clinton, though.
00:07:55.300 Democrat, anti-Trump fanatic,
00:07:57.160 Louis C.K. has gone down.
00:07:58.620 Anthony Weiner, very famously,
00:07:59.900 has gone down.
00:08:01.120 Bizarrely, Jon Stewart was good friends,
00:08:03.040 even a roommate, with both of them.
00:08:04.840 Here is Jon Stewart talking about Louis C.K.,
00:08:07.120 his good pal.
00:08:07.660 Your good friend and colleague,
00:08:09.440 Louis C.K.,
00:08:10.240 has been accused of
00:08:11.880 and has admitted to
00:08:13.040 some lewd acts involving women.
00:08:16.020 What was the impact on you
00:08:17.220 when you heard not only the accusations,
00:08:19.920 but his admission?
00:08:22.400 Um,
00:08:24.640 stunned, I think.
00:08:27.300 Is that right?
00:08:27.960 That's right.
00:08:28.520 What is your,
00:08:29.600 hey, Jon,
00:08:30.160 so I'm going to put you on the spot
00:08:31.020 with your good friend of decades,
00:08:32.740 whom you know very well.
00:08:34.240 And you actually were asked this question last year,
00:08:36.580 and you decided to punt on it.
00:08:37.960 What happened when you found out
00:08:39.600 that he's a sexual pervert?
00:08:42.060 Uh,
00:08:42.780 stunned.
00:08:43.860 Yeah,
00:08:44.080 that's the ticket.
00:08:44.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:45.620 No, that's the ticket.
00:08:46.320 I was completely stunned.
00:08:47.780 Give me a break.
00:08:49.360 There is this weird thing with Stewart, too,
00:08:51.020 because he's famously been good friends
00:08:52.580 with Louis C.K. for a very long time.
00:08:54.700 He obviously knew about this.
00:08:56.160 If everyone else knew about this,
00:08:57.980 his good buddy Jon Stewart knew about this.
00:08:59.920 But he also was roommates with Anthony Weiner.
00:09:02.580 So when the first,
00:09:03.440 when Andrew Breitbart
00:09:04.680 broke the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal,
00:09:07.960 or tweeting scandal,
00:09:09.520 he wouldn't cover it on the show.
00:09:12.160 He wouldn't cover it for days and days and days.
00:09:14.040 And eventually he said,
00:09:14.860 well, look,
00:09:15.560 I'm pals with Anthony Weiner.
00:09:16.960 We used to live together in Hoboken,
00:09:18.460 I believe.
00:09:19.100 And eventually he had to cover it.
00:09:20.940 He was forced to,
00:09:21.540 because it was so absurd.
00:09:22.700 He wasn't covering the most salacious story
00:09:24.380 in politics.
00:09:25.420 But kind of a weird thing
00:09:26.600 that Jon Stewart is pretty tight
00:09:27.860 with both of the most extreme
00:09:31.980 sexual deviancy stories
00:09:33.460 in Democratic politics
00:09:35.120 in the last decade or two.
00:09:37.240 A little odd.
00:09:37.860 I'm not accusing him of anything,
00:09:38.960 but quite a coincidence.
00:09:40.680 Then, of course,
00:09:41.460 there's Hillary Clinton.
00:09:42.260 It all goes back to Hillary Clinton.
00:09:44.600 Hillary famously said
00:09:45.800 on the campaign trail,
00:09:47.100 all accusers should be believed.
00:09:50.420 But, of course,
00:09:51.520 she then was in charge
00:09:52.520 of the bimbo eruptions
00:09:53.460 at the White House.
00:09:54.320 She didn't believe those accusers.
00:09:55.420 She stepped in in 2010,
00:09:57.740 we've learned,
00:09:58.460 to overturn President Bush's ban
00:10:00.140 of a European Islamist,
00:10:01.880 Tariq Ramadan,
00:10:03.080 who is the grandson
00:10:04.060 of the founder
00:10:04.760 of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:10:06.220 Bush had banned him
00:10:06.980 from the United States.
00:10:07.780 She personally stepped in
00:10:09.000 to approve his visa.
00:10:10.680 Ramadan has been accused
00:10:11.840 of rape and sexual assault
00:10:13.340 by three women
00:10:13.980 in the last 10 days.
00:10:16.020 She also publicly said
00:10:17.280 that Juanita Broderick
00:10:18.160 was not credible.
00:10:19.780 And Juanita, by the way,
00:10:20.940 says that Hillary Clinton
00:10:22.940 pressured her to stay silent.
00:10:24.580 So she said Bill raped her
00:10:26.080 and then Hillary came up to her,
00:10:27.700 pressed her hand and said,
00:10:28.760 we appreciate everything
00:10:29.560 you do for us,
00:10:30.520 and then looked into her eyes
00:10:32.400 and said,
00:10:32.900 that means everything.
00:10:34.560 I appreciate everything
00:10:35.640 that you do for us,
00:10:36.760 implying keeping quiet
00:10:38.380 about the rape.
00:10:39.580 Now, Juanita Broderick
00:10:40.760 is firmly convinced
00:10:42.300 that Hillary knew,
00:10:43.180 Hillary pressured her,
00:10:43.900 Hillary covered it up.
00:10:45.820 Democrats now
00:10:46.700 who are conveniently saying,
00:10:48.240 yes, I believe Juanita.
00:10:49.480 It took 20, 30 years,
00:10:51.260 but yeah, now I believe Juanita.
00:10:52.740 Okay, put your money
00:10:54.160 where your mouth is
00:10:54.860 because if you believe Juanita,
00:10:56.880 then you have to believe
00:10:58.120 her whole account, right?
00:10:59.580 You can't just say,
00:11:00.300 well, I believe this,
00:11:00.920 but I don't believe this.
00:11:01.680 She's trustworthy here,
00:11:02.620 but she's a liar here.
00:11:03.680 You have to give evidence for that.
00:11:05.160 If you believe Juanita,
00:11:06.640 then you believe
00:11:07.520 that Hillary Clinton
00:11:08.440 knew about the rape,
00:11:10.040 Hillary Clinton pressured her
00:11:11.500 to stay silent,
00:11:12.500 intimidated her,
00:11:13.660 and smeared other victims
00:11:15.380 of Bill Clinton.
00:11:16.140 And if you're willing to do that,
00:11:17.340 then look at yourself
00:11:18.080 in the mirror
00:11:18.540 and ask what changed?
00:11:19.960 What made you believe Juanita?
00:11:21.220 Because you voted for the woman.
00:11:22.640 You did everything
00:11:23.940 within your power
00:11:24.840 to put her into the White House
00:11:26.760 just 12 months ago.
00:11:28.880 Very convenient timing
00:11:30.040 from Democrats.
00:11:30.840 I'm not buying a bit of it.
00:11:32.120 For further analysis,
00:11:33.400 we bring on
00:11:33.960 our panel of deplorables.
00:11:35.800 We have an excellent panel today.
00:11:37.360 Candace Owens,
00:11:38.140 Jacob Berry,
00:11:38.840 Amelia Hamilton.
00:11:40.060 Thank you for being here.
00:11:40.820 Amelia, your first time
00:11:41.580 on the panel.
00:11:42.280 Appreciate it.
00:11:43.580 Candace,
00:11:44.500 you have been red-pilled.
00:11:46.160 That's your name.
00:11:47.040 That's your screen name
00:11:47.660 on the internet.
00:11:49.080 So this sort of thing
00:11:49.920 can happen.
00:11:50.460 People can change their minds
00:11:51.400 on plenty of things.
00:11:52.580 Is there any chance
00:11:53.740 that this change of heart
00:11:55.420 is earnest
00:11:56.100 or is it just
00:11:57.000 totally cynical nonsense?
00:11:59.200 It's absolutely not earnest.
00:12:00.940 And in that clip
00:12:01.680 that you just showed,
00:12:02.620 it's just proof of that
00:12:03.540 because they're almost
00:12:05.100 throwing it back
00:12:05.800 on conservatives.
00:12:06.860 They hate when a mirror
00:12:07.920 is held up to them.
00:12:08.940 They're throwing it back
00:12:09.500 on conservatives.
00:12:10.320 Well, how dare conservatives
00:12:12.000 say this or say that
00:12:13.500 because they are being called out
00:12:15.060 on their hypocrisy.
00:12:16.240 And if it was at all genuine,
00:12:18.180 then you're going to have
00:12:18.800 to explain to me
00:12:19.520 why they just tried
00:12:20.560 very seriously
00:12:21.540 to put Bill Clinton
00:12:22.580 back in the White House.
00:12:24.440 Right.
00:12:24.960 That's exactly it.
00:12:26.020 It's so recent.
00:12:27.680 And the saying,
00:12:28.740 well, we can't blame Hillary.
00:12:29.980 No.
00:12:30.280 If you believe Juanita,
00:12:31.360 then you have to blame Hillary.
00:12:33.100 Hillary is deeply
00:12:34.540 at fault here.
00:12:36.800 Amelia,
00:12:37.220 in the 1990s,
00:12:38.680 feminists came to Bill's defense,
00:12:40.540 led by Gloria Steinem.
00:12:41.700 They defended him
00:12:42.720 because he shared
00:12:43.280 their policy priorities.
00:12:44.800 Is this such a bad thing?
00:12:47.380 Policy questions of freedom,
00:12:48.760 justice, security,
00:12:49.660 national priorities.
00:12:50.900 Should they really be derailed
00:12:52.160 because men are dogs?
00:12:54.620 I think that you can probably
00:12:55.840 find a man who isn't a dog,
00:12:57.520 who shares some of your beliefs,
00:12:59.480 who shares some of your
00:13:00.500 policy positions,
00:13:01.420 and those are probably
00:13:02.380 the men to support.
00:13:03.880 But I mean,
00:13:04.980 particularly in these moments.
00:13:07.000 So I'm,
00:13:07.920 as a man,
00:13:08.700 as someone who identifies
00:13:09.420 as a man,
00:13:09.920 I will say,
00:13:10.920 we're all dogs.
00:13:12.160 Every man is a dog.
00:13:13.120 We all fall short
00:13:13.800 of the glory of God.
00:13:14.980 And God is dog spelled backwards,
00:13:16.620 by the way.
00:13:17.000 Is that a coincidence?
00:13:17.720 I don't know.
00:13:18.740 It is not.
00:13:19.060 But in cases like these guys,
00:13:20.560 is Gloria Steinem justified?
00:13:22.440 Are Republicans in Alabama justified?
00:13:24.620 Especially in Alabama,
00:13:25.660 where you say,
00:13:26.300 all of the accusations
00:13:26.980 are 40 years ago.
00:13:28.560 They seem credible to me.
00:13:30.500 But regardless,
00:13:31.960 we're talking about
00:13:32.860 issues of freedom,
00:13:34.740 national politics,
00:13:36.000 politicians by definition
00:13:37.080 are scumbags.
00:13:38.200 Should we,
00:13:39.580 should we vote for them anyway?
00:13:40.900 Or should we allow
00:13:41.640 this personal behavior
00:13:43.420 from these dogs
00:13:44.460 to derail a political agenda?
00:13:49.500 No,
00:13:50.020 we need to have
00:13:50.520 some kind of standards.
00:13:51.920 And, you know,
00:13:52.320 this seems like a pretty,
00:13:53.520 pretty low bar
00:13:54.420 to be able to pass.
00:13:55.600 And just because
00:13:56.620 they share certain
00:13:57.320 political beliefs,
00:13:58.140 they still have to be
00:13:58.860 decent human beings.
00:14:00.480 You know,
00:14:00.620 and like you said,
00:14:01.500 politicians,
00:14:02.160 they tend to be
00:14:02.900 little,
00:14:03.700 like you said,
00:14:04.520 scumbags.
00:14:05.900 But, you know,
00:14:06.940 we can't,
00:14:07.540 we can't just let
00:14:08.540 things of this nature
00:14:09.900 especially go
00:14:10.840 because they share
00:14:11.960 certain policy beliefs.
00:14:13.380 We have to,
00:14:13.920 like I said,
00:14:14.420 have some kind
00:14:14.900 of standards here.
00:14:15.720 But should we
00:14:16.340 unilaterally disarm?
00:14:17.640 I mean,
00:14:17.800 this is the trouble.
00:14:18.720 A lot of the commentary
00:14:19.940 today on Clinton is,
00:14:21.220 if we had only
00:14:21.980 held him accountable,
00:14:23.260 then maybe politics
00:14:24.520 wouldn't have degraded
00:14:25.320 itself such as it is.
00:14:27.440 You know,
00:14:27.940 the founder of the
00:14:28.820 Treasury Department,
00:14:29.820 a founding father,
00:14:31.440 Washington's aide
00:14:32.220 de camp,
00:14:32.660 Alexander Hamilton,
00:14:34.080 famously cuckolded
00:14:35.020 at a man named
00:14:35.540 James Reynolds.
00:14:36.280 It was the first
00:14:36.920 sex scandal
00:14:37.860 in American history.
00:14:39.300 And John Adams,
00:14:40.580 second president,
00:14:41.500 said there weren't
00:14:42.220 enough whores
00:14:42.880 in Philadelphia
00:14:43.920 to contain his
00:14:44.840 superabundance
00:14:45.520 of secretions,
00:14:47.260 rather.
00:14:48.400 Obviously,
00:14:49.360 there is,
00:14:49.840 I see a running
00:14:50.600 theme in American
00:14:51.340 politics.
00:14:52.600 Had Democrats
00:14:54.220 held Bill Clinton
00:14:55.420 to account
00:14:56.640 in the 90s,
00:14:57.680 would we see
00:14:58.740 a politics
00:14:59.260 that is not
00:14:59.760 so degraded today?
00:15:00.620 I think politics
00:15:03.940 is always going
00:15:04.580 to be degraded.
00:15:05.340 And like you said,
00:15:05.820 it always has been.
00:15:06.860 I think we just need
00:15:07.720 to hold everyone
00:15:08.320 accountable always.
00:15:09.400 They should have
00:15:09.800 done it then.
00:15:10.320 We need to keep
00:15:11.060 doing it now.
00:15:12.700 I think things
00:15:13.560 are a lot more
00:15:14.020 public now.
00:15:14.780 We've got social media,
00:15:15.920 we've got everything else.
00:15:17.640 So I think that's,
00:15:18.600 in a lot of ways,
00:15:19.280 a good thing.
00:15:19.800 People know what's
00:15:20.620 happening now.
00:15:21.480 Things are being
00:15:22.000 made public.
00:15:23.040 And now that they
00:15:23.900 are being made public,
00:15:25.160 we need to do
00:15:25.700 something about it.
00:15:27.400 All right.
00:15:27.960 That's what we have
00:15:28.420 to do.
00:15:28.660 It is all very public
00:15:29.720 now.
00:15:30.040 And this whole show
00:15:30.740 is public for all
00:15:31.620 of you up to this point.
00:15:32.840 I'm sorry.
00:15:33.500 If you don't subscribe
00:15:34.420 to TheDailyWire.com,
00:15:35.700 I have to say goodbye
00:15:36.640 to Facebook and YouTube.
00:15:38.220 I know,
00:15:38.540 we have so much more
00:15:39.240 to cover today.
00:15:39.960 We have the poetic
00:15:40.700 diction of Donald
00:15:41.460 Trump's tweets,
00:15:42.260 we have that stupid
00:15:43.020 game cards against
00:15:43.760 humanity,
00:15:44.180 and we make fun
00:15:44.820 of atheists.
00:15:45.660 But you can only do it
00:15:46.660 if you go to
00:15:47.120 DailyWire.com right now.
00:15:49.240 You haven't even heard
00:15:50.200 from Jacob Era yet,
00:15:51.580 but probably that's
00:15:52.800 incentive to just
00:15:53.560 log off right now.
00:15:54.720 If you go to
00:15:55.380 Facebook and,

00:16:04.300 But look at this, folks.

00:16:08.040 With all of the
00:16:08.680 crocodile tears
00:16:09.520 pouring out
00:16:10.100 from all corners today,
00:16:11.180 you better get it.
00:16:12.080 You're going to have to
00:16:12.560 get the Atlantic vintage,
00:16:13.640 the New York Times vintage,
00:16:14.880 the Jake Tapper vintage,
00:16:16.120 on and on and on.
00:16:17.620 So go over there right now.

00:16:24.220 So go there.
00:16:24.600 DailyWire.com.
00:16:25.280 We'll be right back.
00:16:36.560 Okay, we have
00:16:37.800 a lot of news to cover.
00:16:39.140 The card game,
00:16:40.320 insufferable millennial card game,
00:16:42.000 Cards Against Humanity,
00:16:43.180 is running a holiday promotion
00:16:44.840 to buy a lot of vacant land
00:16:47.300 along the U.S.-Mexico border
00:16:48.680 and prevent Trump's wall.
00:16:50.300 This game is the worst.
00:16:52.520 It is,
00:16:53.120 for those of you
00:16:53.600 who haven't played it,
00:16:54.760 it's like a pretentious version
00:16:57.120 of apples to apples
00:16:59.040 or Mad Libs
00:16:59.980 so that skittish liberals
00:17:02.020 can say some naughty words
00:17:03.580 and giggle.
00:17:05.260 After one or two plays,
00:17:07.620 all of the fun of it is gone.
00:17:09.680 You know,
00:17:09.920 they'll have one card
00:17:11.440 that says,
00:17:12.500 our class trip
00:17:13.340 was ruined by blank,
00:17:14.640 and then it'll just have
00:17:15.440 a bunch of cards
00:17:16.460 that have different bodily fluids
00:17:18.080 or racial epithets
00:17:19.180 on it or something.
00:17:20.480 So it's funny
00:17:21.560 for a little bit,
00:17:22.420 and they bill it
00:17:23.340 as a party game
00:17:24.300 for horrible people.
00:17:26.560 In reality, though,
00:17:27.700 it's just a game
00:17:29.000 for liberals
00:17:30.200 so that they can say
00:17:31.200 some naughty things
00:17:32.120 because political correctness
00:17:33.260 is so awful.
00:17:33.960 Then they all giggle
00:17:34.840 at how terrible it is,
00:17:36.380 and they know,
00:17:37.180 well, we're not
00:17:37.500 the real horrible people.
00:17:38.540 We're not the horrible people
00:17:39.480 who, you know,
00:17:40.200 ride tractors
00:17:40.840 and vote for Republicans
00:17:41.740 and things like that.
00:17:42.740 We just sip Chardonnay
00:17:44.500 in New York
00:17:45.080 and giggle at
00:17:46.280 all of these mean things.
00:17:48.080 So, Jacob,
00:17:49.200 is Cards Against Humanity,
00:17:50.460 which bills itself
00:17:51.340 as un-PC,
00:17:52.440 has it gone full
00:17:53.200 political correctness now?
00:17:54.700 Oh, absolutely.
00:17:55.680 This is,
00:17:56.280 I've never,
00:17:56.760 I've personally
00:17:57.280 never played it.
00:17:58.300 You know,
00:17:58.580 as far as my board games,
00:18:00.100 I have higher standards,
00:18:01.980 but,
00:18:02.240 or excuse me,
00:18:02.980 my card games,
00:18:04.160 but I'm,
00:18:05.120 I think this is just them
00:18:06.940 doing some virtue signaling.
00:18:09.440 I know some of their cards
00:18:10.360 have gotten them
00:18:10.920 in trouble in the past,
00:18:12.500 and, you know,
00:18:13.060 people still buy it,
00:18:13.960 they still play it,
00:18:14.760 but I think this is just
00:18:15.700 them saying,
00:18:16.520 hey, yeah,
00:18:17.620 our card game,
00:18:18.620 it may be politically incorrect,
00:18:19.780 but look at us,
00:18:20.700 you know,
00:18:21.000 they're doing the,
00:18:22.100 they're doing the grandstanding
00:18:23.600 on the border,
00:18:24.940 as they like to say.
00:18:26.660 Oh,
00:18:26.800 it's like Bill Clinton,
00:18:27.680 right?
00:18:27.920 Yeah,
00:18:28.200 sure,
00:18:28.540 I abuse women
00:18:29.700 in positions below me,
00:18:30.980 but, you know,
00:18:31.480 abortion, right?
00:18:32.320 I'm good on abortion.
00:18:33.680 Candace,
00:18:34.160 the millennial generation
00:18:35.160 is known,
00:18:36.240 is known by
00:18:37.080 its overwhelming performance
00:18:38.680 of apathy.
00:18:39.740 This is just something
00:18:40.380 I've noticed.
00:18:41.060 All the music
00:18:41.620 is very apathetic.
00:18:42.780 Everyone gets tattoos
00:18:43.560 everywhere.
00:18:44.620 It's an expression
00:18:45.700 of philosophic nihilism.
00:18:47.960 You know,
00:18:48.360 everything's whatever,
00:18:49.380 man,
00:18:49.620 and we're all gonna die someday.
00:18:51.140 Yet,
00:18:51.720 these guys are so triggered
00:18:53.460 by Donald Trump
00:18:54.460 to look at things
00:18:56.400 with the glass half full.
00:18:58.520 Is this evidence
00:18:59.720 that at least
00:19:00.500 this culture of nihilism
00:19:01.880 is crumbling?
00:19:03.780 I can't look at this
00:19:05.000 with the glass half full,
00:19:06.160 so I'm gonna,
00:19:07.140 I'm just gonna say that
00:19:09.040 What this is
00:19:10.260 is dramatic irony.
00:19:12.740 It tells you
00:19:13.460 why people can't
00:19:14.420 take millennials seriously.
00:19:15.900 I mean,
00:19:16.160 they put together
00:19:16.680 this game,
00:19:17.160 Cards of Humanity,
00:19:17.920 which you mentioned
00:19:18.540 is supposed to be
00:19:19.560 this super non-political,
00:19:21.260 we get to say
00:19:21.880 what we want,
00:19:22.620 but they can't bear
00:19:23.800 the thoughts
00:19:24.500 of not allowing people
00:19:26.200 that don't belong
00:19:27.000 into this country
00:19:27.640 to run in here freely
00:19:29.020 and drive up
00:19:29.660 everybody's taxes.
00:19:31.100 I mean,
00:19:31.480 this is why people
00:19:32.620 can't stand liberals.
00:19:33.960 Everything they do
00:19:35.000 is hypocritical,
00:19:36.600 and it's ironic
00:19:37.880 in all of the bad ways
00:19:39.420 that you can talk
00:19:40.000 about irony.
00:19:41.500 And it's ironic
00:19:42.300 because it's within confines,
00:19:43.880 right?
00:19:44.060 They say,
00:19:44.620 oh yeah,
00:19:45.180 we can say all these,
00:19:46.280 you know,
00:19:46.680 bad things,
00:19:47.380 but only within
00:19:48.140 this certain social convention
00:19:49.580 that we've all agreed
00:19:50.280 is perfectly fine,
00:19:51.060 and we all have to
00:19:52.040 look at each other,
00:19:52.740 and okay,
00:19:53.140 you're not,
00:19:53.480 and I'm not serious,
00:19:54.220 okay,
00:19:54.440 good,
00:19:54.600 good,
00:19:54.760 good.
00:19:55.500 Amelia,
00:19:56.060 on that point,
00:19:57.100 in the old days,
00:19:57.740 card games used
00:19:58.460 to be complicated,
00:19:59.560 and creative games
00:20:00.640 used to require creativity.
00:20:02.660 Cards Against Humanity
00:20:03.580 is a very simple card game,
00:20:05.380 and it completely
00:20:06.200 precludes creativity.
00:20:07.300 You can't be creative
00:20:08.000 at all.
00:20:08.680 What does the decay
00:20:09.720 of games say
00:20:10.900 about our culture?
00:20:14.620 Well,
00:20:15.420 decay of culture.
00:20:16.980 You know,
00:20:17.460 I think it really
00:20:18.320 just,
00:20:19.240 again,
00:20:19.460 goes back to that
00:20:20.120 lowest common denominator.
00:20:21.440 It's like,
00:20:22.220 let's all get together
00:20:23.120 and say some horrible things.
00:20:24.900 Nope,
00:20:25.360 there's no need
00:20:25.920 to have any creativity.
00:20:27.000 There's no need
00:20:27.400 to think about it.
00:20:29.280 You know,
00:20:29.860 it supplies you
00:20:30.720 with the horrible things
00:20:31.840 to say.
00:20:32.340 You don't even need
00:20:32.840 to think of those
00:20:33.440 on your own.
00:20:35.040 You know,
00:20:35.560 at least like you
00:20:36.060 were saying
00:20:36.320 with Mad Libs,
00:20:37.120 you had to think
00:20:37.640 of something.
00:20:38.800 So,
00:20:39.320 you know,
00:20:39.960 people aren't
00:20:40.340 getting together
00:20:40.900 and doing something
00:20:41.660 creative,
00:20:42.200 having some fun.
00:20:43.040 They're just
00:20:43.600 saying some words
00:20:45.380 that were already
00:20:46.080 supplied to them.
00:20:47.020 And they're so absurd.
00:20:49.000 I mean,
00:20:49.400 sometimes it's,
00:20:50.600 absurd things can be funny,
00:20:52.000 but it gets old.
00:20:52.840 It gets old
00:20:53.400 and tedious
00:20:53.920 pretty quickly.
00:20:54.540 You would think,
00:20:55.780 though,
00:20:55.900 that a culture
00:20:56.440 that is decadent,
00:20:57.920 a culture that has
00:20:59.240 fallen into disrepair
00:21:00.760 and nihilism,
00:21:01.740 you would think
00:21:02.360 that it would make
00:21:02.920 its recreation
00:21:03.700 complicated
00:21:04.600 because that's
00:21:06.060 what it's focused on.
00:21:07.640 But instead,
00:21:08.300 this is just
00:21:08.640 the laziest game ever.
00:21:10.780 Is it evidence
00:21:11.920 of a sloth
00:21:13.700 in the millennial generation
00:21:15.620 or am I reading
00:21:17.200 too much into
00:21:17.740 this stupid game?
00:21:20.020 No,
00:21:20.240 I think absolutely.
00:21:21.140 You know,
00:21:21.320 this is the Postmates
00:21:22.720 kind of games
00:21:23.720 where everything
00:21:24.300 is just being handed
00:21:25.200 to you
00:21:25.700 and you just
00:21:26.920 sit there
00:21:28.080 and throw your cards out
00:21:29.240 and there's
00:21:29.640 nothing else required.
00:21:30.720 Nothing and no creativity,
00:21:32.140 no strategy,
00:21:33.100 just this is mine,
00:21:34.060 here we go.
00:21:35.620 Marching off to the grave.
00:21:37.180 The third,
00:21:37.700 speaking of that,
00:21:38.460 speaking of all
00:21:39.020 of those philosophic ideas,
00:21:40.840 the third annual
00:21:41.420 Global Atheist Convention,
00:21:43.620 ironically called
00:21:44.580 Reason to Hope,
00:21:46.320 has been canceled
00:21:47.300 because nobody
00:21:48.660 wanted to go.
00:21:49.800 Amelia,
00:21:50.400 after a decade
00:21:51.340 of totally undeserved
00:21:52.700 plaudits given
00:21:53.460 to Richard Dawkins,
00:21:55.060 Daniel Dennett,
00:21:55.860 Sam Harris,
00:21:57.200 Christopher Hitchens,
00:21:58.420 whose writing I enjoy
00:21:59.300 but whose thoughts
00:21:59.900 aren't that smart,
00:22:01.100 has atheism peaked?
00:22:03.120 Are we headed right now
00:22:04.300 for a religious reawakening?
00:22:07.180 You know,
00:22:07.640 I think,
00:22:08.140 I think it's possible.
00:22:10.840 You know,
00:22:11.200 people really are searching
00:22:12.460 for some kind of meaning
00:22:13.540 and people used to get it
00:22:15.180 from things like religion
00:22:16.220 and, you know,
00:22:16.840 now we're finding,
00:22:18.360 you know,
00:22:18.560 people are going to,
00:22:20.060 you know,
00:22:20.200 the theology of Harry Potter talks,
00:22:22.300 you know,
00:22:22.580 where they find out,
00:22:23.480 you know,
00:22:23.760 following that is sort of
00:22:24.720 some kind of a religious experience
00:22:26.220 and people are really searching
00:22:28.220 for that kind of meaning,
00:22:29.680 for that kind of guidance
00:22:30.560 in their lives
00:22:31.880 and they aren't finding it
00:22:33.780 from the traditional places
00:22:34.860 and I think maybe we're going to see
00:22:36.140 people turning back to that.
00:22:37.520 Yeah,
00:22:37.680 I think they should look
00:22:38.440 to the traditional places
00:22:39.420 because they're not finding it
00:22:40.500 in Harry Potter.
00:22:41.400 It is so sad
00:22:42.400 that our generation,
00:22:43.980 that the myth
00:22:44.720 is Harry Potter.
00:22:45.880 That's what we're grounding
00:22:47.060 our mythical thinking in.
00:22:48.700 It's really pathetic.
00:22:50.120 I think Harold Bloom said
00:22:51.460 it would be better for,
00:22:52.620 the literary critic Harold Bloom
00:22:53.860 said that it would be better
00:22:55.020 for children to watch television
00:22:56.300 than to read Harry Potter
00:22:57.360 because all of,
00:22:58.700 whenever,
00:22:59.160 no one ever just takes a walk.
00:23:01.060 They all,
00:23:01.340 it's all these awful cliches
00:23:02.640 like,
00:23:03.020 oh,
00:23:03.140 I'm going to stretch my legs.
00:23:04.860 They always just stretch their legs
00:23:06.180 and just take a walk.
00:23:07.440 Candace,
00:23:07.960 there is significant evidence
00:23:09.420 that the post-millennials,
00:23:11.040 this is the cause for hope.
00:23:11.920 I'm going to make you hopeful
00:23:12.700 before the end of this show,
00:23:14.000 so help me God.
00:23:15.400 There's significant evidence
00:23:16.600 that the post-millennials,
00:23:17.540 Gen Z are far more religious
00:23:20.180 and church-going
00:23:21.020 than we millennials
00:23:22.440 because,
00:23:23.680 as Amelia just said,
00:23:24.820 they're looking for meaning.
00:23:26.080 What,
00:23:26.540 what is causing this return
00:23:28.180 to religion?
00:23:29.020 Obviously,
00:23:29.380 they're looking for meaning,
00:23:30.820 but what,
00:23:31.620 what is the,
00:23:32.520 the immediate cause
00:23:33.540 in our time of that?
00:23:35.500 I don't really know.
00:23:36.560 That's a really good question.
00:23:37.600 Maybe when you get to a point
00:23:38.880 and you have so much invested
00:23:40.480 in the books written
00:23:41.820 by J.K. Rowling
00:23:42.940 and then you read
00:23:44.060 her Twitter feed,
00:23:45.140 you realize that you made,
00:23:46.200 you made a wrong turn.
00:23:48.780 And right,
00:23:49.760 yeah,
00:23:49.980 so right after you get off
00:23:50.960 of the Twitter feed,
00:23:51.780 you realize that you need God
00:23:53.040 in your life
00:23:53.660 and you are going down
00:23:54.680 a path out.
00:23:55.980 That's a profound thought,
00:23:57.440 actually,
00:23:57.880 because the,
00:23:59.280 this generation
00:23:59.900 has made gods
00:24:00.880 out of people
00:24:01.980 who do not deserve
00:24:02.800 to be gods.
00:24:03.520 They've made gods
00:24:04.140 out of celebrities.
00:24:05.320 They've made prophets
00:24:07.360 out of J.K. Rowling.
00:24:08.700 And then you look
00:24:09.900 at their behavior,
00:24:11.000 you look at their Twitter feed,
00:24:12.260 you look at everything
00:24:13.180 and you realize
00:24:13.840 that everybody
00:24:14.840 falls short
00:24:15.360 of the glory of God
00:24:16.200 and certainly Hollywood
00:24:17.920 is, you know,
00:24:18.960 we all fall short,
00:24:20.040 but those guys
00:24:20.560 fall like a lot shorter.
00:24:22.400 And so that might be it.
00:24:24.260 There's been a betrayal
00:24:25.080 by our gods
00:24:25.900 and even the philosophic gods
00:24:27.780 that we've made
00:24:28.380 for ourselves,
00:24:29.100 environmentalism,
00:24:30.280 all of the ideologies
00:24:31.460 that have come
00:24:31.900 to replace Marxism
00:24:33.940 and therefore
00:24:34.340 traditional religion,
00:24:36.180 they've failed us.
00:24:37.240 We don't,
00:24:38.260 I don't know
00:24:39.240 if it would be too far
00:24:39.900 to say,
00:24:40.820 you know,
00:24:41.220 Nietzsche thought
00:24:41.620 that God is dead,
00:24:42.500 but really we've learned
00:24:43.300 that all the other things
00:24:44.100 are dead too
00:24:44.780 and we have to go back
00:24:45.940 to that first one.
00:24:47.260 Jacob,
00:24:48.180 the irony
00:24:48.880 of this convention title
00:24:50.480 is that atheism,
00:24:52.260 of course,
00:24:52.540 means there is no hope.
00:24:53.600 We just,
00:24:54.180 we're born,
00:24:54.820 we die,
00:24:55.220 we turn to worm food,
00:24:56.320 you know,
00:24:57.000 good play.
00:24:57.980 Yet,
00:24:58.500 in every civilization
00:24:59.620 at all times
00:25:00.360 throughout history,
00:25:01.400 man has demonstrated
00:25:02.420 a longing for God.
00:25:03.900 Is this just
00:25:04.660 a cosmic joke
00:25:05.600 on mankind
00:25:06.140 or is that longing
00:25:07.940 evidence
00:25:08.520 that God exists?
00:25:09.900 I think that the longing
00:25:10.960 is evidence
00:25:11.880 that God exists
00:25:12.840 as far as,
00:25:14.420 you know,
00:25:14.960 reasons to hope.
00:25:16.380 I think it's more,
00:25:17.980 the very title
00:25:19.120 of the conference
00:25:19.840 tells me
00:25:20.620 that it's not just
00:25:21.460 atheism that has peaked,
00:25:23.200 it's nihilism
00:25:24.040 that has peaked
00:25:24.780 because,
00:25:25.660 you know,
00:25:25.840 it's funny
00:25:26.380 when Jerry Seinfeld
00:25:27.380 is doing it,
00:25:28.000 right,
00:25:28.280 you know,
00:25:28.480 a show about nothing
00:25:29.480 but no one wants
00:25:30.600 to think that their life
00:25:31.680 means nothing.
00:25:32.840 They don't expect it
00:25:33.860 to be,
00:25:34.220 you know,
00:25:34.400 like William Shakespeare
00:25:35.200 or Dr. King Jr.,
00:25:36.500 but they want their life
00:25:37.660 to have some sort of meaning.
00:25:38.780 And it's funny,
00:25:39.380 Seinfeld is funny
00:25:40.260 because it's absurd.
00:25:41.580 Exactly.
00:25:41.760 We're not laughing
00:25:42.300 at these people
00:25:43.200 with their meaningless
00:25:44.120 problems
00:25:45.060 and meaningless lives.
00:25:46.480 And that's why
00:25:47.000 I think that
00:25:47.560 it was kind of ironic
00:25:48.720 that they called it
00:25:49.400 a reason to hope
00:25:50.020 because if atheism
00:25:50.860 is true,
00:25:51.440 there is no reason
00:25:52.240 to hope.
00:25:53.120 You know,
00:25:53.420 it's always going
00:25:54.340 to be the greater species
00:25:56.500 is always going
00:25:57.020 to conquer
00:25:57.360 the lesser species
00:25:58.200 because that's just
00:25:58.800 how Darwinianism works.
00:26:01.000 But I think that,
00:26:02.400 yes,
00:26:02.720 that longing
00:26:03.320 is a sign
00:26:04.700 that God exists
00:26:05.720 out there.
00:26:06.180 And this convention
00:26:08.340 is a sign
00:26:08.780 that God exists.
00:26:09.740 I've always found...
00:26:10.700 The fact that it got canceled
00:26:11.320 is a sign
00:26:12.220 that God exists.
00:26:13.020 In my experience
00:26:13.740 of God,
00:26:14.280 he's a pretty
00:26:14.820 whimsical fella.
00:26:16.220 And so the atheists
00:26:17.720 name this convention
00:26:19.060 absurdly
00:26:20.100 a reason for hope.
00:26:22.060 And then
00:26:22.600 in itself,
00:26:24.380 it's a reason
00:26:24.920 to despair.
00:26:25.740 It's the opposite
00:26:26.380 of hope.
00:26:26.880 And then it gets canceled
00:26:27.800 and we get a reason
00:26:28.560 to hope.
00:26:28.900 God can turn everything,
00:26:31.060 even the death
00:26:31.940 of his own son,
00:26:33.240 for good,
00:26:34.100 even the fall
00:26:34.580 of mankind,
00:26:35.160 for good.
00:26:35.660 A felix culpa.
00:26:36.860 Okay,
00:26:37.280 speaking of reasons
00:26:38.320 to hope,
00:26:39.120 we have to get to
00:26:40.280 Trump's torrent
00:26:42.400 of grade A
00:26:43.520 100% pure covfefe
00:26:45.520 tweets since his
00:26:46.720 return from Asia.
00:26:47.960 Among them,
00:26:49.000 quote,
00:26:49.660 while in the Philippines,
00:26:50.880 I was forced
00:26:51.580 to watch CNN,
00:26:52.980 which I have not
00:26:53.820 done in months,
00:26:54.780 and again realized
00:26:55.920 how bad
00:26:56.660 and fake
00:26:57.500 it is.
00:26:58.720 Loser.
00:26:59.720 Loser.
00:27:00.320 Another quote.
00:27:01.380 Do you think
00:27:01.940 the three UCLA
00:27:02.760 basketball players
00:27:03.740 will say,
00:27:04.460 thank you,
00:27:05.000 President Trump?
00:27:05.880 They were headed
00:27:06.700 for 10 years in jail.
00:27:08.480 And then another
00:27:09.460 great one.
00:27:10.520 The failing New York
00:27:11.480 Times hates the fact
00:27:12.600 that I have developed
00:27:13.560 a great relationship
00:27:14.420 with world leaders
00:27:15.700 like Xi Jinping,
00:27:17.040 president of China.
00:27:18.200 By the way,
00:27:18.720 capitalization is getting
00:27:19.740 a little wonky
00:27:20.540 in some of these.
00:27:21.400 They should realize
00:27:22.420 that these relationships
00:27:23.280 are a good thing,
00:27:24.340 not a bad thing.
00:27:25.540 To U.S.,
00:27:26.620 the U.S.
00:27:27.160 is being respected again.
00:27:28.300 Watch trade.
00:27:29.320 It is actually hard
00:27:30.320 to believe how naive
00:27:31.460 or dumb
00:27:32.420 the failing New York
00:27:33.600 Times is
00:27:34.240 when it comes
00:27:34.900 to foreign policy.
00:27:36.260 Weak and ineffective.
00:27:39.080 Oh, God,
00:27:39.800 just a moment
00:27:40.440 of applause.
00:27:42.860 It is so poetic.
00:27:46.660 Jacob,
00:27:47.720 to play devil's advocate,
00:27:49.700 if this were a Democrat
00:27:50.720 doing this,
00:27:51.420 we would be losing
00:27:52.120 our minds.
00:27:52.880 We would be going
00:27:54.000 insane with anger.
00:27:55.480 Is it okay
00:27:56.680 to applaud Trump's tweets
00:27:58.400 as I just did
00:27:59.180 just because he's
00:28:00.420 a Republican?
00:28:01.640 Well,
00:28:01.780 not just because
00:28:02.560 he's a Republican,
00:28:04.020 but I absolutely,
00:28:05.360 and even me,
00:28:05.960 I've said many times
00:28:06.800 on this show,
00:28:07.380 I'm a Trump skeptic.
00:28:08.620 I'm not a never-Trumper
00:28:09.940 and I'm not on the
00:28:10.620 Trump train,
00:28:11.520 but I'm a Trump skeptic.
00:28:12.800 But I actually admire
00:28:14.180 this about Trump.
00:28:15.740 Republicans have
00:28:16.520 forever been saying,
00:28:17.960 hey,
00:28:18.140 we need a president
00:28:19.240 who will stick it
00:28:20.160 right to the media.
00:28:21.120 And so I'm actually
00:28:22.500 enjoying this greatly.
00:28:23.640 I think it's a thrill ride.
00:28:25.540 And maybe,
00:28:26.000 you know,
00:28:26.280 if President Obama
00:28:28.160 had done this,
00:28:29.160 you know,
00:28:29.340 I might have been
00:28:29.900 a little disturbed by it.
00:28:31.680 But hey,
00:28:32.240 I,
00:28:33.000 you know,
00:28:33.240 call me a hypocrite
00:28:33.940 if you want,
00:28:34.340 but I am enjoying it
00:28:35.580 completely
00:28:36.320 because President Trump
00:28:37.740 just has this way
00:28:39.020 of doing it
00:28:39.940 where you just have to laugh.
00:28:41.340 You just go,
00:28:41.900 oh my gosh,
00:28:42.620 you know,
00:28:42.840 he just took on
00:28:43.680 the New York Times
00:28:44.620 and CNN
00:28:45.200 and it was amazing.
00:28:47.480 If Obama had done it,
00:28:48.820 it would be totally bizarre
00:28:50.060 and terrifying.
00:28:51.400 But it's because of
00:28:52.980 how they've built
00:28:53.900 their careers.
00:28:55.440 Both of them,
00:28:56.520 both Obama and Trump
00:28:57.680 built their careers
00:28:59.100 such that they exposed
00:29:00.640 enough of themselves
00:29:01.480 that aspects of them
00:29:03.000 that might scare people
00:29:04.900 are no longer scary.
00:29:06.420 So Barack Obama
00:29:07.100 did this in his book
00:29:08.080 Dreams from My Father.
00:29:09.980 He talked about
00:29:10.540 how his father
00:29:11.160 was a Muslim bigamist,
00:29:13.460 basically,
00:29:13.920 then atheist,
00:29:14.720 I suppose.
00:29:15.240 And he was raised
00:29:16.340 in these Muslim schools
00:29:18.000 in Indonesia
00:29:18.740 and he did a bunch
00:29:19.640 of coke
00:29:20.160 and he was around
00:29:21.140 radical leftists
00:29:22.160 and he was friends
00:29:22.720 with leftist terrorists.
00:29:24.160 And the thing about
00:29:24.820 that book,
00:29:25.380 I will say,
00:29:26.140 by the end of it,
00:29:26.940 you're not afraid of him.
00:29:27.980 He makes it not scary.
00:29:29.480 Same with Trump.
00:29:30.520 If you just flew in
00:29:32.080 from Mars right now,
00:29:33.440 you would say
00:29:34.080 the Earth is on
00:29:34.920 the brink of collapse.
00:29:36.280 But if you've followed
00:29:37.160 Trump for 40 years
00:29:38.280 and you've followed
00:29:39.380 his influences
00:29:41.100 as a matter of persuasion
00:29:42.380 and rhetoric and media,
00:29:43.720 you say,
00:29:44.140 no,
00:29:44.300 I see where this is coming from.
00:29:45.320 I see what he's doing here.
00:29:46.680 Now,
00:29:47.020 to your point
00:29:47.940 on the culture warrior,
00:29:48.920 Amelia,
00:29:49.680 many of the so-called
00:29:50.780 conservatives
00:29:51.460 who have spent decades
00:29:53.000 calling for culture warriors
00:29:54.400 are now demurring
00:29:55.980 because Trump
00:29:56.900 is waging those battles.
00:29:58.420 Is the Donald
00:29:59.420 the culture warrior
00:30:00.380 that we have been waiting for?
00:30:03.560 Well,
00:30:04.200 I guess it depends
00:30:04.920 on who we is.
00:30:08.040 We on the right.
00:30:09.240 We broadly
00:30:09.900 as conservatives
00:30:10.760 before the Trumpianism
00:30:13.100 came in.
00:30:13.860 The conservative movement
00:30:14.800 of Bill Buckley
00:30:16.060 and Bill Kristol
00:30:17.720 and Irving Kristol
00:30:18.700 and Pat Horowitz
00:30:20.100 and all those guys.
00:30:20.580 I would say no.
00:30:21.580 For that group,
00:30:22.440 I would say no.
00:30:24.120 I don't think
00:30:24.960 that he's necessarily helpful.
00:30:26.380 I think that the message
00:30:28.300 frequently gets drowned
00:30:29.900 in the messenger,
00:30:31.360 in the delivery.
00:30:33.540 So while I think
00:30:34.780 the culture war
00:30:35.360 is important,
00:30:36.120 I don't think
00:30:36.760 it's necessarily
00:30:37.360 being waged
00:30:37.960 in the most helpful way
00:30:38.980 that it could be.
00:30:39.660 But I wonder with that
00:30:40.800 because people say,
00:30:41.840 oh,
00:30:41.880 if he'd only said it
00:30:42.600 more politely
00:30:43.140 than it would work.
00:30:44.880 But I don't really see that.
00:30:46.820 George W. Bush
00:30:47.420 was a very polite man.
00:30:48.560 He didn't do
00:30:49.060 a terribly bang-up job
00:30:50.660 in the culture war.
00:30:51.660 And with Donald Trump,
00:30:52.760 he misspells a word,
00:30:54.040 he capitalizes a word wrong,
00:30:55.360 he chooses strange language,
00:30:57.020 and then it's all
00:30:57.940 we can talk about.
00:30:58.960 His tweets are all
00:30:59.940 anyone has talked about
00:31:00.880 for two years.
00:31:02.020 Is it not possibly
00:31:03.360 the case that
00:31:04.720 for people,
00:31:05.540 and I don't mean
00:31:06.060 to call out these guys,
00:31:06.880 I like them personally,
00:31:08.080 but Bill Kristol
00:31:09.100 and Jonah Goldberg
00:31:10.180 and the never-Trump crowd
00:31:12.060 out of NR
00:31:13.000 and Weekly Standard?
00:31:14.380 Is it possible just
00:31:15.580 that they wanted
00:31:16.480 this culture warrior,
00:31:17.480 they wanted to fight
00:31:18.200 the culture,
00:31:18.880 and they had a vision of it,
00:31:20.640 and they didn't expect
00:31:21.500 it to look like this?
00:31:22.940 And so now that we get,
00:31:24.440 no one expected it
00:31:25.160 to look like this,
00:31:25.860 now that we have it,
00:31:27.080 that we don't recognize it?
00:31:30.260 You know,
00:31:30.780 I really,
00:31:31.520 that's certainly possible.
00:31:34.040 I don't know.
00:31:34.860 I still think
00:31:35.420 that it's just not quite
00:31:36.480 the warrior
00:31:37.940 that we wanted.
00:31:38.600 You guys are depressing me.
00:31:40.760 You're very,
00:31:41.120 you and Candace,
00:31:41.880 come on, man.
00:31:42.900 I'm sorry,
00:31:42.940 the glass is half empty
00:31:43.760 all around.
00:31:45.540 Jacob,
00:31:46.000 you've got to make me
00:31:46.520 feel better at some point.
00:31:47.600 But Candace,
00:31:48.220 first, make me feel worse.
00:31:49.840 The Washington Post
00:31:50.640 wrote a story today,
00:31:51.780 quote,
00:31:52.400 Trump's Asia trip
00:31:53.700 was hardly the success
00:31:55.200 he says it was.
00:31:56.880 That was in the news section.
00:31:58.060 That was not an op-ed,
00:31:59.000 that was not an editorial.
00:32:00.040 They filed that under news.
00:32:01.840 They passed that off
00:32:02.620 under news.
00:32:03.380 Of course,
00:32:03.760 they offered no evidence.
00:32:04.740 It was absolute tripe,
00:32:06.280 the so-called
00:32:07.780 foreign policy analysis.
00:32:09.640 If the Washington Post
00:32:10.820 and CNN
00:32:11.460 and the New York Times
00:32:12.420 are going to behave
00:32:13.420 like children
00:32:14.000 without any journalistic standards,
00:32:16.220 having to recant stories,
00:32:17.740 having to fire
00:32:18.760 reporting staff,
00:32:21.260 then shouldn't we treat them
00:32:23.200 like the children
00:32:23.760 that they are?
00:32:24.380 Shouldn't President Trump
00:32:25.340 treat them like the children
00:32:26.640 that they are?
00:32:27.860 I think altogether
00:32:29.120 we need to stop talking
00:32:30.040 about the Washington Post.
00:32:31.280 That is Jeff Bezos'
00:32:32.120 personal diary, okay?
00:32:35.820 His feelings,
00:32:36.620 his thoughts go into there.
00:32:37.680 Then people are saying
00:32:38.400 that his feelings and thoughts,
00:32:39.640 which aren't based in facts,
00:32:41.120 are written for the world.
00:32:43.140 Everybody understands
00:32:44.000 the Washington Post
00:32:44.740 is literally just his play toy
00:32:46.020 at this point.
00:32:46.980 To go back to your earlier point,
00:32:48.200 I absolutely love
00:32:49.200 what Trump is doing.
00:32:49.960 I think he is the cultural warrior
00:32:51.740 that people were looking for.
00:32:53.420 People, meaning us people,
00:32:55.500 that hold jobs.
00:32:56.880 And when we watch our TV screens,
00:32:58.460 we are so tired
00:32:59.500 of hearing politicians.
00:33:00.900 We are so tired
00:33:01.960 of somebody making something
00:33:03.100 that's horrible,
00:33:04.220 sound great,
00:33:05.020 wrapping it into a bow
00:33:05.980 and presenting to us
00:33:06.900 the same BS that we get
00:33:08.140 all the time.
00:33:09.000 We want somebody
00:33:09.900 who talks like us.
00:33:10.820 When I look at the TV
00:33:11.740 and I'm watching CNN
00:33:12.880 and they're lying to me,
00:33:13.940 I'm going, loser, you know?
00:33:17.100 And that is what Donald Trump
00:33:19.160 is able to do so effectively.
00:33:21.020 He talks like he's talking
00:33:22.440 to the people,
00:33:23.740 for the people.
00:33:24.420 He's not dressing anything up
00:33:25.800 in a tuxedo.
00:33:27.220 And I just,
00:33:28.260 I wanted to make your day better,
00:33:29.140 Michael,
00:33:29.440 by letting you know
00:33:30.080 that I think he is
00:33:31.260 the cultural warrior
00:33:33.160 that we all needed.
00:33:35.000 I cannot get enough
00:33:36.100 of his tweets.
00:33:36.860 It's the best thing
00:33:37.680 since Kanye West.
00:33:38.780 Love them both.
00:33:39.560 And I love your point
00:33:41.020 of talking about people.
00:33:43.140 He's a guy who doesn't speak
00:33:45.700 in this mealy-mouthed,
00:33:47.520 particular language of politics.
00:33:49.200 He speaks like regular people speak.
00:33:51.640 Don't get me wrong.
00:33:52.580 I am all for elites.
00:33:53.960 I am all for elitism and elites.
00:33:56.020 But they have to actually be elites.
00:33:57.860 They have to be royals.
00:33:59.880 They have to be aristocrats.
00:34:01.260 They have to be seriously educated
00:34:03.180 and wise and sophisticated
00:34:04.800 and well-behaved.
00:34:06.740 And these people
00:34:07.500 who have been pretending
00:34:08.280 to be elites
00:34:08.900 for decades and decades
00:34:10.280 in American politics
00:34:11.220 simply are not.
00:34:12.800 There is absolutely no reason
00:34:14.520 for me to respect
00:34:15.680 journalists at CNN
00:34:16.860 or The New York Times
00:34:18.120 or Jeff Bezos'
00:34:19.160 personal letter to the world.
00:34:21.320 There's no reason.
00:34:22.420 They're not actually elites.
00:34:23.760 They don't know anything.
00:34:24.680 They don't possess wisdom.
00:34:26.280 So give me an elite
00:34:27.280 and I'll consider respecting them.
00:34:28.900 But until then,
00:34:29.640 give me a straight talker.
00:34:30.920 Absolutely right.
00:34:31.900 Okay, panel,
00:34:32.920 excellent to have you here.
00:34:34.280 You took me on a journey
00:34:35.220 of emotions.
00:34:36.220 I was so depressed.
00:34:37.440 I was so happy
00:34:38.160 there at the end.
00:34:39.000 Amelia, thank you
00:34:39.580 for being here first time.
00:34:40.940 Candace Owens
00:34:41.500 and Jacob Berry,
00:34:42.260 thanks for coming back.
00:34:43.180 We will talk to you
00:34:44.060 all again soon.
00:34:45.060 That's our show.
00:34:45.660 That's the whole thing, folks.
00:34:46.720 I got to get out of here
00:34:47.500 to read the thousand
00:34:48.920 mailbag questions
00:34:49.920 that are waiting.
00:34:51.040 If you haven't subscribed already,
00:34:52.320 well, you're probably subscribing already
00:34:54.200 if you're watching this now.
00:34:55.600 And if you're listening,
00:34:56.300 go over to Daily Wire

00:34:57.380 so you can send in
00:34:58.000 a mailbag question.
00:34:59.040 That'll be tomorrow.
00:34:59.800 We have a great interview,
00:35:00.840 by the way,
00:35:01.360 with Eric Metaxas
00:35:02.900 coming tomorrow
00:35:03.640 over Martin Luther.
00:35:05.260 He refutes some of my
00:35:06.860 objections
00:35:08.500 to the corpulent
00:35:09.260 German heretic.
00:35:10.260 And we have a good conversation
00:35:11.600 about his new book,
00:35:12.820 Martin Luther,
00:35:13.620 and then I'll answer
00:35:15.120 all of your questions.
