The NFL may be on the ropes and president Trump may have put them there, the left to demonstrate its definite scorn for the middle of the country and we'll talk about one of the worst movies ever made. I mention here this venture. Here I show, and so the vortex of stupidity it continues to world, and you are a part of it. My friends, as am I there's no way to escape the category five stupid hurricane that has descended upon the United States and that continues each and every day will talk about all of the things. But first I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at realty shares. It's not an offering of securities. Private investments are highly liquid and risky not suitable for all investors.

The best way to do this and not try to to put all your money in one place or drop two hundred as in dollars on one apartment building is if you have that kind of money is to go over to my friends. It real teachers because they do is they put together a list of of properties that they have, that a project that they have that in, they think, are decent investments and then they allow you to invest in five thousand dollars. Increments, invest fractionally with hundreds of other people to reduce the cost of an initial investment.

If you are a young person or a middle age, person is not by relying on social security, which is a giant scam. It's by making good financial decisions. Now, one of those decisions is to invest, go to realtyshares dot com, slash, bend, ok, so the football controversy NFL controversy will not die. The ratings were apparently slightly up on Sunday over the previous year, but that's because people were tuning in to see the controversy next week watch for the ratings to plummet, as people simply tune out and demonstrate that they're not interested in watching a bunch of players who they feel are ungrateful for being in the United states will Mereka in her kneeling about the anthem and the flag. So one of the things that I've been talking about for years on this program now is the idea that two bubbles have formed in the United States is not just one bubble. You know we on the right like say: well, Hollywood's bubble, media there that's their bubble.

There are two bubbles there's the bubble of those of us on the right and the bubble of those of the people on on the left in the right bubble? We look at the people. Healing- and we say everyone who is Kneeling- is doing so because they hate the anthem in the flag the reason you kneel during the anthem is 'cause. You don't like the anthem anything that America is a is a problematic place. Imbued inherently with racism, sexism, bigotry and homophobia, and that's why you're kneeling? It's because you don't like to flag and there evidence to this Colin Capper Nick when he first knelt said I'm doing this because the flag doesn't stand for black Americans, which is just absurd. It's just asinine. It was the flag of the United States that was carried into battle by the black regiment during the civil war that you can see it in the movie glory. You know the flag has always stood for the constitution and the declaration of independence and the development or better America took. The flag is always stood for, which is why smart civil rights protesters back in the 1960s weren't burning the flag. They were marching with the flag and saying this is our flag. This is our America. That's a smart way to protest a stupid

protesters to Neil through the national anthem and to Neil as the flag is honored that she's a dumb way to do it so far on the right. The way that see this battle is all the people who are kneeling originally were kneeling because they don't like the country and then We're dealing with them today are probably kneeling Also, don't really like the country too much then there's the way. The left reads this, which is people are kneeling because they think the country is not all it can be, and they are kneeling to demonstrate that the flag is not really being upheld, even though symbolically it matters it's matter symbolically that we have to protest it and therefore that's that's why bring company originally and now all the people who are kneeling. Now, it's not even 'cause, they agree with Capper Nick it's because they don't, like the president, Trump called for a boycott of the NFL and called for the NFL to fire everyone who is kneeling So there are two reasons for the kneeling, number one- is because America just isn't what it's supposed to be, is not all it's cracked up to be so. Neil for the national anthem and reason number two is to protest from okay and these two visions of what exactly is how

it demonstrates it it's sort of like the movie Roschmann. I mean it's, it's it's there's, there's a bunch of their multiple viewers of a single event and they're each taking what they what they want. From that event. On the right were taking away. There are a lot of people who don't like the country on the left, they're, taking away that there, a bunch of people who want to stand against Mark's fundamental values and kneeling is the way to protest those people right. So that's the actual that actually what's going on from an if you're, an alien coming in from outer space? Watching all of this, this is what you would say right, there's a bunch of different perspectives. On the same event, now I tend to think a few things. Kneeling for the national anthem is dumb kneeling for the flag is dumb again, you'd be better off grab the flag and saying this is my flag. I stand with the flag against these forces that stand against american values, so the kneeling is stupid. It's just it's pointless and it's bad pr On the other hand, the people who are kneeling yesterday are not quite the same thing or Sunday, not quite the same thing as Colin Capper kneeling they're, not all the same people Colin Capper Nick was basically buy by himself by the end of his career and the people who are

and yesterday a lot of them were people who were not on board with Colin kneeling for the anthem in the first place, but they wanted to show solidarity for the right to kneel. Right in the same way that you sometimes see people sort of spite protests in order to in order to kiss off the other side. So there was some of that going on too. Ok. So, let's see how this plays out, so you can see that on in a political level, this is very beneficial for Trump and pence, so President Trump is it has an error in errant nose for the controversy that is most likely to polarize the country in his favor he's actually quite good. At this. I and he's done it repeatedly. So the last claims, after the traveled and all Americans, he traveled and it's just gonna- be terrible for Trump to travel in the travel ban. Wasn't terrible for trunk. Most Americans were fine with the travel ban. The left doesn't understand that the left doesn't understand that when President Trump says polarizing things on on of wide. For

city of topics when he says that when he just sort of macho posturing, most Americans don't care about that and left doesn't understand when Trump says Colin, Capper, Nick so be for kneeling during the anthem there, a lot of Americans who feel the same way and when people kneel wins that battle, and you can see how the right is trying to frame the battle as don't protest, the flag and the national anthem and the left is trying to protest, is trying to frame the entire debate as a debate about the first amendment. So here's MIKE Pence framing it- terms of the flag and the national anthem. We've all got a ride to our opinions, but I don't think it's too much. The players in the National Football League to stand for, our national anthem? I know the people of Alabama, because you know patriotism is what unites us. It's about respect for the flag, respect for the country and, most importantly, it's about respect for all those who fall.

And I'd to defend it, and I think that pence is exactly right, of course, which is why I've always opposed flag, burning and kneeling on the flag and and pictures of they're standing on the fighting is disgusting. All that is, is quite gross. So this is how the rights attempting to frame is groups like the NRA doing the same thing: the NRA, releasing ad yesterday last night. That essentially says the same thing for the land of the free and the home of the brave from high school gyms, the towering stadiums. Every time I see our flag wave, I feel- humbling. Reminder of the brave who keep and have kept us free. I stand to honor the sacrifices of the generations before me: heroes who charged in the battle through bombs and bullets who lost their brothers and still push through fighting for every inch of our freedom. I stand

For my brothers, who can't stand anymore men who hunted terrace to the ends of the earth who sacrificed their bodies and their lives so that we could peacefully live ours, I stand for the children spouse His parents, whose writing in Seattle at the framing, happens here right- and it's actually quite a good ad here right. This is an attempt to frame this specifically as all the people in the link, are doing a disservice to service, Girls, spouses and children of people have died in combat protecting the flag? I am protecting our national unity. That's the way the right is famous. Now here's the left is framing. It's like we're. Living in two separate worlds were living in two separate world: is Hillary Clinton framing this in a completely different way. It's as though your watch

two separate narratives happening. At the same time, our protest is a part of the american way of life, and it's something that I'm very proud of whether I agree or disagree, I think peaceful protest is part of what has helped us make progress, learn more be a better country, overtime, okay, this is what I don't like about. What President Trump did is that these were both principles that we generally believe Pretty much all Americans believe this, that you should stand for the flag. You shouldn't disrespect the flag and disrespect the anthem and also that what Hillary Clinton saying about peaceful protest is basically correct. We in America have always valued peaceful protests, we've always valued dissent. We think that that's a valuable thing, but now the left has basically had told of the dissent, his patriotism banner and the writers grabbed hold of the actual banner and now they're going to war with each other. Is that good for the country? I don't think it's good for the country

I don't and then the left takes it too far. So if that were the only battle, then I would say: ok, easy consensus, easy to come together about this very simple. We can bridge this gap immediately. Stop kneeling for the anthem and or at least or at least. I understand why we criticize you for kneeling for the anthem, it's bad in Neil for the anthem. And also if you want to kneel for the anthem, your business, but we have a right to criticize you for doing so very easy consensus. But then Hillary Clinton decided to take this. Even further and I'll explain that in just a second. But first I want to say thank you. There's over the: U S, CCA. So can you say with a hundred percent confidence that you and your family are safe? What if you pull the trigger too soon love some breaks in your house and you pulled the trigger too soon. As you know, what to say, do you know what to do with your gun, the police arrived so that you're not arrested and carted off to prison. Well, here's you can take a simple rewarding journey to concealed, carry and home defense confidence. It's called the twenty seventeen concealed carry and family defense guide. It's from the USA

Somebody who is who is coming into your home to make sure that you and your family are protected in every conceivable way. Okay, so as I say, the normal battles should be, it should be easy to fix. Standing for the national anthem is appropriate, kneeling. Inappropriate, but this is America you're allowed to do it. Everybody calm down right! That's the easiest way to do this.

Trump over stepped on the one end by using the flag to bash people who are who are kneeling to the extent saying that they ought to be fired, and then Hillary Clinton overstepped her boundaries, not by defending the first amendment by then implying that anyone who opposes people, who bill is a racist, so here's Hillary Clinton doing that routine. I think it some deeply troubling that the president would be attacking black athletes for expressing their opinions peacefully. Ok, attacking black athletes. As I said on Fox NEWS last night, President Trump is pretty equal, who attacks? Hillary Clinton gets it on the chin from Hidden Trump, virtually every single day and she's been not a relevant part of America's political scene. For nearly a year at this point. So the idea Trump is only attacking black athletes really mean, attacking his own internal general, the same way like six weeks ago, so no It doesn't wash it off, but again what we have.

Here is out of ever seen: Louie CK's comedy routines. I think Lucy KIDS really funny. He has a comedy routine called called of course, but maybe and his comedy routine goes something like this. He says, of course, of course, We all understand that peanut allergies are things that we should be careful of, and we should make sure or that nobody Kate was peanut. Allergy should have a peanut because we have to protect those kids, I mean it's just something we have to do is a society. Of course we have to do that, but maybe if we just let people carry around peanut this would all be over in a generation right. This is Louis CK rotating. The problem that we have in politics right now is that everybody is now doing, of course, but maybe everybody is now doing, of course, but maybe so Trump is saying things like of it's bad when people kneel for the anthem, of course, Of course, descent is ok, but maybe all those people should be fired. Maybe all those people should be fired

because I mean if they got fired and then no one would be kneeling for the anthem and then on the other side. You have Hillary Clinton doing, of course, but maybe of course the the flags important. Of course, the national anthem is a good thing. Of course that's true, but maybe President Trump is a brutal racist, but maybe he's a brutal racist and maybe people who stand for the they're actually evidencing some sort of brutal racism because of the, but maybe is that we're all doing right now, everybody's in conflict. If we just stuck with the sources and we skipped about. Maybe is it all the time because we, Cars will agree on this stuff There's no major disagreement on the stuff even between. Like me, and Colin Capper Nick ok, he may not agree about the the national anthem. He may not agree. Those things have a serious disagreement there and we may have a serious disagreement about police procedure, but we actually agree on the value of dissent. I assume I assume we actually agree on that. We released halfway, but now even though half way now we're in total disagreement because of the but maybe's. Ok so

You can see the media is finally starting to catch on to this game. Trump is making serious political, hey here, he's getting people to rally around him. You, can see that will show you in a second how the NFL is really stuck between a rock and a hard place, but the media is Binion catch on that Trump is playing a game and they are falling for it. Here's CNN's Jim Acosta The least self aware reporter in America Talk think about how Trump is Trump trying to wage a culture war. Is he yeah you think this morning he's putting out a tweet praising NASCAR, which obviously is geared towards a diff, demographic and the way they stand in respect and honor the flag. Is he trying to wage something of a culture war so is he? Is he trying to wage a cultural? First of all, the left started this culture war by politicizing sports. I have been saying this for years

I've been saying this for a long time. Trump did not start this war, he is just escalated. The war, that's all he's, just escalated. The war by the way. This notion that the NASCAR has a supremely different demographic from football. Is just not really true. According to statista on line the distribution, of the television audience in two thousand thirteen. Seventy seven percent of the television audience for the, and if I was white, seventy seven percent fifteen percent was black, eight percent of Hispanics vast majority of the NFL audience is still white to the suggestion that Trump is doing this because he hates black people. I just don't see the evidence of all that. You know it's it's it's kind of it's kind. Articles, in any case, what's happened now is because Trump has has, polarized the country even further than it already was on this, and then the left has responded by polarizing even further, by saying that everyone has to kneel. Everyone must kneel before Zod now the NFL is stuck between a rock and a hard place because their audience is seventy seven percent white and there are a lot

people in that audience, white, black and hispanic who are not interested in doing in this routine, where they watch a bunch of people protest that America is a racist, terrible, terrible country. They're, not but in doing that routine, so Russia, I think it's actually good case study, not just because rush is a right, winger, obviously because rushes, football fan on radio when rush is a super giant. Football fan so much so that ESPN tried to have him on Sunday NFL countdown about fifteen years ago. An here is rush saying that for the first time in a long time he didn't watch any football on Sunday. I was personally said that I did not watch the National Football League yesterday and it was the first time in forty, five years that I made an active decision not to watch include my team, the Pittsburgh Steelers? It was not. The decision made in anger. It was genuine sadness, and it is sad it is said these common symbols are being ripped away if you're NFL owner or you're, an NFL player, though you are stuck between a rock and a hard place because on the

they're saying you need to stand for the anthem and because Trump threatened, because Trump basically said I want everyone to fire. The NFL should change its rules, let's boycott now, if you're in and even if you don't like the kneeling, you feel that the city to stand by your teammates, because, if you're playing on a team, you tend to and by your teammates in there right, if you're, not a owner, you don't want to alienate the NFL Players association? Nor do you want to alienate your own players by saying I'm going to force you to stand, but at the same time, if you don't for sure players stander alienating the audience, so the Dallas Cowboys last night tried to have it both ways: the Dallas Cowboys Basically, Jerry Jones came out the owner of the team Trump supporter he came out and he kneel down, he knelt with all the players before the anthem. So the idea was that one to kneel to show free speech rights and to demonstrate we care about equality and then, during the anthem, we're going to stand up, we're going to split the baby, won't actually kneel during the anthem, so we're not disrespecting the anthem of the flag, but we are going to protest president Trump by kneeling before the kneeling before the anthem. The problem is everybody in the stadium.

Thinks that Trump is sort of right about the kneeling, and so they ok. You really siding with all the players who are kneeling before the anthem. This is the this is one of the dark places that we've gone in sort of our first amendment. Discourse is: if we don't like how you exercise your first amendment rights, then we suggest that you that the first amendment itself is the problem or that, if you stand up for the first amendment, you're standing up for the worst excesses of the first amendment, I get this all the time you know I make the case, People should be allowed to speak on college campuses, and then people say so. Are you for Nazis saying that they want to roast Jews? And it's like? Well? No, I'm not for that, but they have the right to say that kind of stuff. We live in America, but the people do the same thing all the time on the left right. They do this with religious baker, when I say that I think you should be able to own and operate your business, the way that you see fit and then left says what are you for discriminating against black people and gays? And I said no, no, I'm not actually for that, I'm not for that at all, but you have a right to do what you want with your own business right in inherently

pain, the capacity to misuse those rights. The problem is when you symbolically stand up for the right by depending on the same sort of act as the people who are misusing the right, then you're going to be same with them and that's what happened? The cowboys last night. So here's what happened last night with Jerry Jones on the cowboys and listen to the crowd, this one, but they were very about wanting to separate that message from the national anthem, John Hi Lisa it as they take any collectively booze can be heard from this. Hello crowd in Arizona and you can hear the audience booing, of course, and they're booing, because again there define the kneeling because of the symbolic because of the Cymbala G, the symbolism of the kneeling the people are blowing, they weren't booing until they melt the minute. They know lump them in with Colin Capper Nick, and this is how this conflict is going to go for the NFL. If you Neil, going to lump on Capper Nick, if you don't know we're going to happen with Trump, these are the two choices. Now we didn't have to make that choice before

Now, that's the choice that popular media are forcing us to make. It's that it's the choice. Trump wants to make it's the it's. The choice pens wants to make it's the choice and on left Hillary Clinton wants you to make. They want you to sides are you with Lebron James and Stephen Curry and Colin Capper Nick, are you with Jerry? Bob Kraft, or are you a Donald Trump and MIKE Pence and soldiers right. That's the choice. People want you to make. This is not a choice you have to make. You can before the soldiers don't kneel and you can also not be- and you can also be for Colin Capper Nick's right to kneel right- can do both of these things, but because the NF is trying to thread this needle they're, going to end up just destroying themselves, and you can see it. Yesterday I paid homage to guy named. Hundred Villanueva the Villanueva was an offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers and he served three Afghanistan was an army ranger and he came out, during the during the anthem, the rest of steam stayed in a locker room bill in a way that came out and put his hand over his heart for the anthem I said. Well, that's, I think a a courageous move. Yes

Today he was forced to apologize after the left came out from Shannon Sharpe said that Villanueva just totally wrong there Villanueva go out there alone. He humiliated his teammates. Shannon was Villanueva rights or wrong. I believe he was wrong in this situation skip. I believe he put his personal feelings and beliefs in front of that of the team, and this is the team that what we know about the military, the military ask a man to put his life his or her life in the hands of another man. True, when you go outside of that protocol, people live are at risk. That is correct. That's what other colonel Jessup said in a few good men again. This is so stupid. So I love the idea from Shannon Sharpe that how dare he howdy The only way that put himself ahead of his team, his personal feelings out of his team. What do you think calling happen? It was doing you think that he actually went through the forty Niners locker room and ask permission before he did what he did, so you're allowed to put your opinion ahead of the team when you're kneeling for the anthem, but you're not allowed to do that.

You are when you are standing up for the american flag. The only way the end up apologizing for all of this, because again this is the problem you're, either with good, now you're you're being forced to make a choice, with your team and therefore with Colin Capper, Nick by extension or you're, with Donald Trump as a crappy choice. Most Americans don't want to make that choice. We're going to show you the tape of Villanueva apologizing, which I just think is awful in one second, but first I want to say Peter sponsors over at frame bridge the frame bridge is the easiest way to custom frame your favorite art and photos.

Again, it's frame bridge dot com, promo code, Shapiro, easy, simple and inexpensive and looks nicer than anything else that you'll get on the market. Okay, so here is I hear this Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman being forced to apologize because he didn't stand by his teammates, because you're stand by the people are, or your or your bad guy. Now, a list of all of this plan. Very few players knew that I was going to the time, because I only ask team leadership, and so because of that Given the opportunity to stand with me

It is the very embarrassing part of my in and in what transpires, because when everybody sees an image of me standing by myself, everybody thinks that the the the t the Steelers around behind me, those of Salou Wrong is quite the opposite, is the older of actually, the entire team would have been out there with me, even the ones who want to take any? What about that? When we have a note, this extreme circumstances that at soldier field, you know the the moment when I got soldiers, wounded veterans, texted me that you know that that that that, I have, I think, to be out. Put aside, from every single one of team is no doubt so because of that I've made a coach look bad and- and that is my and that is my fault. He Steelers fault for not going out there and figuring this thing out beforehand. That's their fault, ok and it's not Villanueva's job to stay in the locker room with his idiot teammates, who won't come out for the anthem if they want to come out and lock arms and some of Neil and some of them don't that's fine, but to Rippon Villanueva though he did, some

totally wrong for coming out after serving three is Afghanistan. All these guys can, just you know, stick it where the sun don't shine, really really obnoxious and again. This is the sort of thing where people are not going to watch the NFL because of it. So the NFL is going to get absolutely hammered in the ratings next you watch for it. Meanwhile, the left is getting more and more snarky about this. So, as you see the posturing from some people on the right about the flag and the anthem the idea that everybody who is process sing anyway must hate the flag and the anthem which I don't think is true. I'm gonna show you some learn from the left that is truly off putting and demonstrative of just why what Trump said is so effective politically, but we're going to go through all that particularly spurs coach, Greg Popovitch said some pretty amazing things. Yesterday, Lebron. I'm still go through all of it, but for that you're going to have to go over to dailywire dot com for nine hundred and ninety nine month, you can get your subscription to dailywire dot com. You get the rest of the show live, get the Michael Moles show, live at one thousand. Two hundred and thirty today get the Andrew Klavan Show live at one thousand and thirty go check out, drew stuff. You haven't yet it's really clever and it's really fun.

And it's really interesting and he always has great, takes a checkout. Drews show I'll put that in the thing I like, but I mentioned it everyday, so Andrews, show as well for nine hundred and ninety nine a month to get a subscription for all of that, and you also, if you get the annual subscription ninety nine dollars a year, then you get this. The leftist here is hot or cold mug, which is quite delightful at holding beverages and liquid's of all sorts, hopefully drinkable, so Go check that out. If you merely wish to subscribe to our Itunes or Soundcloud or Youtube, please go ahead and do that and leave us a review. We always We are the largest fastest growing podcast in the nation. So the left scorn is truly astonishing in this is the part where Trump triggered the left into making the mistake of going going. Full Nick never go full capper again the winning strategy, left here was we stand with the right of people to kneel, even if we disagree with their kneeling. That's the proper strategy. The left cannot help themselves

and so they feel the necessity to rip America generally. So here's Greg Popovitch was a very left guy. The coach of the San Antonio spurs very brusque fellow talking about hello, America is an embarrassment to the world now countries in embarrassment in the world. This is this- is an individual actually thought that when people held arms during the games that they were doing it to honor the flag, that's delusional absolutely delusional. But it's what we have to live with. So you got a choice. Well, we can continue to bounce our heads off the wall with his conduct, or we can decide that the institutions of our country are more important, that people are more important, that the decent America that we all thought we had

and what is more important and get down to business at the grassroots level, and do we have to do okay? So the idea that everybody is embarrassed by the nice is first of all the I do work and there's been to what to whom, while in Paris the Germans who what the fricking do Anyone cares about that. We embarrass them. Bob way: embarrassed Communist China to embarrass Putin like who Syria. Those sorts statements are so obnoxious that they are just ridiculous and then Popovitch said stuff He went on to say that if you're, a white person in so you never understand what it's like to be black. If that's the case, you cannot have a functioning republic. The whole point of a functioning republic is that you can think beyond your own self interest and thinking it's good for the country and try to get in the head of somebody else and get in their shoes. The idea that, inherently, if you're black person that you can and that you've you're the person. You can never understand what it's like to be. Somebody Blackwell. That's really stupid, particularly because there are lots of different types of white people and lots of different types of black people. It plays

Klay into the racist stereotypes that underlie capper next nonsense- and this is it again. This is where the left is going. The left is fully embracing the radicalism. Now Trump has forced them out of the closet and there in the radicalism Dan Patrick Talk show host. He says you know, the american flag is just not I think black Americans and White Americans the flag represents something different to other people. Certainly, white people can look at it. Go that flag, hey! My father fought my dad was marine. I mean I might have to sit down and have a discussion of my father were alive to say this is what's going on, but hopefully you can have a dialogue that says this is why they're doing it? It's not about the flag, it's about four! More than that to them the flag is not the same thing to them as it is to us and I'm saying, White America, the flag is not the same thing about people's, it is white people really. I think the flag is the same thing to everybody. I think that

we should all have as Americans, we have a common stake in the future of the country and in the history of ideas in the country. I don't think that unity is impossible, country? So this is why I divide from the left hand, I divide from President Trump. I don't think that unity is impossible on these sorts of issues. We can find unity in saying the american flag stands for what's best about America and we are always attempting to perfect the country in pursuit of that goal. We shouldn't protest, the one symbol that we hold in common and we have If you now is it is but again the left to the left to radicalism. It's just people say Trump is the divider trump is a divider. He not divider. There are a lot of people who are quite divisive, Lebron James, decide, needs to sound off to now and here's Lebron talking. How stupid

voters are american voters are for for voting for Trump. I don't think a lot of people with educated and nothing. That's the biggest one of the biggest problems that we have a one to. It becomes full time that people are just not educated on either the individual or, what's actually going on in the state of the world right now, not like a particular state but in the state of the world. I don't think a lot of people are educated, and they make choices. They make choices. A safety, that's on educated, okay, uneducated this on as you get this from from from Lebron James, the people wasn't educated weren't. The Ok again, like that, it's not just being snarky saying to people that they're uneducated about their vote. And that's why they're voting the way that they are, maybe they just have different principles than you may have different beliefs may be different sources of information than you. But again this is.

Call super polarizing stuff, they said yesterday, Lebron James, ripping other people on their level of education. They went directly from high school to the NBA. Ok, I'm in he may be an intelligent guy. I have I have no evidence that he's a dumb dumb, but I would not put would I would not put my vote on the peg of education if I went directly from high school to the NBA, and that was my entire experience in in higher education, again don't use it. You can say that that people are making stupid, stupid votes that that, I think is. Is there on every side, but to say uh. Educated. When your educational background is white Lebrons is, I think, a little bit ironic at the very least. So it again the left falling into Trump's becoming ever more radical is part of Jesse Williams. Nobody's heard us and he did what it was you Grey's anatomy or something and

hasn't done anything since, but he hangs out to the you can say things about how America's terrible every so often on MSNBC, so they they took him out of storage, they on mothball them and then they and then they talk to him about the national anthem protest. As I think Thomas, it's also important to realize that this phantom thing is a damn this is not actually part of football. This was invented in two thousand and nine. As from the government paying. NFL to market military recruitment, to get more people to go off and fight wars to die. This is nothing to do with NFL american, pastime or tradition. This is to get boy and girls to go, fly overseas and go kill people, their military, show million, and ask people to join the military in the military that defends this moron's right to speak. How dare they? military go to the NFL crowd and and is the military is a useful thing, just horrifying. So again, Trump is trolled, the left into being his left as it possibly can be

at the same time he is made an unprincipled right, give up on certain principles like the President of the United States, should not be interfering with private business operations. They given up on that because it's more important to shout about the flag and the national anthem. So, yes, everything remains just as stupid as it was yesterday, again, no Disneyland, ok time for some things I like and then some things I hate and then will deconstruct some culture. So things that I like today, Peter Thiel, who is a he was a trump supporter. He is the founder of cofounder of Paypal. He's an investor in Facebook is one of the top minds in Silicon Valley and his original investment group in Paypal, including people like Elon Musk. It's like every was like seven members and all of them have started billion dollar companies and brilliant guy Peter Thiel. He wrote a book called zero to one note on startups or how we build the future and it's a really good book. It's a short book spent one hundred and eighty pages very quick rate, but it's got some deep thoughts about how you To think about your business and how you ought to think about your life and what I like about field is that he's very optimistic in his vision for people taking control of their

she's, very libertarian, Thiel and my. So that means that we have a lot in common, and I and- and I think that Peters book is- is quite good to go out and pick up the book zero to one by Peter Thiel, okay, other Things that I, like you know. This thing belongs things I hate. This will be the things I like go directly to things. I hate Okay, so let's begin with the Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders debate on healthcare last night with Bill Cassidy and the gram which is just yeah- I mean that's, that's basically tv death and you turn in for five minutes, and then the ratings must have been great on CNN. For this thing, because people tuned in for five minutes and they died at the remote, so Arbitron Nielsen were still registering that they were watching 'cause. They had no idea their dead. In any case,

Bernie Sanders of Vermont. He explains that health care is a right. Why is healthcare right because everybody else says it's a right, but that is not good enough. Our job now is to come together to craft serious short term solutions. That address is the real problems that exist like deductibles, high co payments, I premiums high cost of prescription drugs, but longer term. We have got to come together and finally conclude that it's a nation, we cannot be the only nation major nation on earth, not to see health care as a right. Thank you very much. We cannot be the only major nation on earth. Not too, abortion as a right. We cannot be the only major nation on earth not to spend eighty percent of our GDP unsocial programs. What is this nonsense about? We can the only major nation on earth to do x or y or Z. We cannot be the only burning enter Circa one thousand seven hundred and seventy five. We cannot be

the only major nation on earth not to have a game. We must have a game, everyone else in the. Why cannot? We have a king, have they even created putting it? I do not think so. So they did this notion that that that we are going to declare healthcare care right, because France declares Healthcare right is the stupidest crap. I've heard making affirmative case, for why saying that is going to make healthcare better, but don't say that his other nations say stop. Therefore we ought to say stuff. I mean this falls into the same category as Popovic saying that word embarrassment to the world yeah. We only provide half the world's economic growth, yeah we're the embarrassment of the world, a other things that I hate. So there is an unbelievable the New York Times today. I don't know what's going on over at the New York Times editorial page, but they have obviously decided that it is deeply important to promote communism in the last several months. They've run the following headlines when Communism inspired Americans April 29th, two thousand and seventeen when the renaissance went communist August, 21st, two thousand and seventeen socialism

future- maybe it's past June 26th, two thousand two thousand seventeen, and of course, why it had better sex under socialism August twelve, two thousand and seventeen today's entry? Ok, this is what they tweet it out for all who was the communist revolution? Taught chinese women to dream big for all, flaws. Let me read that again slowly, so you understand how stupid this is for all its flaws, This revolution taught chinese women to dream big. Yes, it taught them to dream big and then die. The great leap forward: cost forty million lines overall, chinese comma. Cost. Sixty five million dead people, thirty five million of those are probably women. Ok, forced abortion in China has caused the death of by some reports. I it's one hundred and ninety one million female babies. One hundred and ninety one million female babies aborted, since the comma this revolution in China, according to some studies, which means

right now, trying to has a shortfall in women. They have three thousand and thirty to forty million more men than women in China, which is actually demographic problem when countries tend to have far more men than women Likely to be militarized and go to war, because you got a lot of guys hanging around you aren't married and don't have families but the New York Times Op Ed says no. No, you understand. Communism is great for women. So here is the glowing reminisce quote the Communists did many terrible things. My grandmother always says at the end of a reminisces, but they made women's. Is much better at off. Repeated dictum sums up the popular perception of mousy tongue regarding women in China's every China school child learns in history class, the communists, rescued peasant daughters from herb. Brothels in ushered cloistered lives in factories, liberating them from the oppression of confusion, patriarchates patriarchate, imperialist threat.

You know what actually has created women's rights: Capitalism Gang, not communism, capitalism, more women, freer today, Communist China or the United States, or France or Britain or Germany or Denmark, all of which are capitalist countries. Ok, Denmark is far more like the you know, it states that it is like China in terms of its economy, is run. This notion that women were liberated liberated to do what starve, It is all reminiscent of how the left talks about people like Fidel Castro job as at least before people eating dogs in the streets of it as well Fidel. He brought healthcare, your health care to people sure Thousands of them are in prison for dissent. Sure they hate the island, so much they're tempting floor off the island with nineteen fifties. Cars in the tire is inflated sure, but he had Healthcare Denis and literacy. One up, it's so ridiculous, Kelly! Here's what it says is what- communist revolution brought women more job opportunities. It also made

interest subordinate to collective goals, stopping at the household doorstep, mouse words and policies- did little to alleviate women's domestic burdens like housework and childcare. So didn't do anything. It just told women that they could be leaders of the re education camps again, the New York Times, propping up It is. It is quite amazing site, so the left really really out of the closet on this stuff. Now, okay time for a little bit of deconstructing, the culture cell, I deconstructing culture today. Why don't we begin with this incredible video, your time not scorn of one side for the other there's a video. That's now come out with a few actresses. I don't actually know some of these actresses. I guess one of them is Ellen Page, I'm not sure who the other actresses are here, but they cut a video

for the AV club in the onion talking about they're not going to get trump supporters. You know good luck with that. It's like the bubble, the self righteous bubble these people have created is quite amazing. Now the sports world is bubbling itself off in the same way that the answer tainment world is that there's a sports illustrated cover showing a bunch of people in sports. We all stand together. Hollywood does this. And we all stand together. Guess what the rest of America thinks you're just awful. So here's this little video with Ellen page a name to other people. I do. I will well find out in just a moment saying they would never date a Trump supporter, but I think in the end, they you know everyone starting to see sort of what's happening. I don't wanna go on because I can go on for way too long, but like no. No, I I don't think I could get your trump supporter well at any point, because even saying this, the whole time, but by this point I'm sorry exactly

now, okay right now we never dated transport. Just never do it again that it's Kate, Mara and Ellen Page in any sign it toward a new movie. That looks awful call my days of mercy which looks just terrible, Kate, Mara and Ellen page play lovers on the opposite ends of the political Spectrum pages Lucy, a woman whose vehemently cause of death penalty, while Mars mercy is in support of it. Good luck, alright! So you wonder why Americans look at Hollywood and they say we want no part of you. This is why you want movie. Receipts are down. Part of it is because the movies are crappy. Part is because the tickets are expensive and part of it is because people keep alienating us an annoying us in the same thing is about to happen in the sporting world. In other entertainment news, the Amazon has decided that it is imperative to show full frontal, transgender, full frontal. Nudity on tv. They really did this in the other day.

They show a that. The the person in the rear of this photograph is a man who has had a boob job that that's all that's happened here, Alexander Billings, the name of this eight of this actual transgender person who is in transparent and and so they should be out of- we just have the picture or if there is the actual scene, I hope just the picture, because I don't actually see the scene in case this person turns around and has breasts and a penis- and this is supposed to be some sort of this- some sort of step forward for the transgender community we're all supposed to, I love the descriptions in the media. It's pretty amazing. In the media in the daily beast. They say thing: it's just it's just incredible, because we really wanted to show her penis. Her penis excuse Maine yeah. So, on the one hand, is it again, this is just pushing more cultural boundaries that were supposed to pretend that all of this is it that that this person is actually a woman, but on the other hand, there is something

The idea that the shocking vision of a of a man with breasts will may, wait some folks that this is actually a woman, because when you see that that does not do that, that's clearly a man. So good news, good job Amazon for for creating programming that just I will I what's the point of all this was the yeah, but I mean this is what they do. Ok final final note on deconstructing the culture. I have no words for these things. Finally, there's a movie called mother and her Michael models, who's wrong about virtually everything is wrong about this too. He said the movie mother is just a wonderful biblical, so the movie is a biblical allegory. Is the worst director ever hot. Darren Aronofsky is the Emoji movie shot on a handheld camera and with people shooting up. That's staring at you I skied every during their Noske movie is the same. It's all hysterical and ludicrous and filled with looks inside people's heads and no one cares about it's always a dark creepy place because you're an awesome.

Weird AL? I a his new movie mother is another one of these routines in the same line ended by the way. If you ever want to watch a truly all also go no, I know, is a truly awful film and that the does not understand the Bible. I made a new film, that's basically in the same vein: it's Jennifer Lawrence and hobby about M Javier Bardem plays a Writer with writer's block who's supposed to basically be God. Jennifer Lawrence is supposed to be the virgin Mary in this allegory. It's such a bad That Cinemascore David it enough you I found in the score. You know you know much of to disappoint audiences can f on Cinemascore. You have to basically shoot them in the head. Okay to get enough on cinemascore like the audiences will get it they'll give lay it like a night out, though they did that that crappy Scarlett Johansson film those knock off the on Cinemascore. It's got an f and grades into this bizarre or g of blood and violence and fire in the whole idea is supposed to be that

humanity. Man and woman come to his house with that's owned by Javier Bardem and Jennifer Lawrence and start running the house and making everything terrible and all these people start because humans are scourge on the earth, which was the same message that he promulgated that he promoted in Noah, which is garbage here, is the preview they tried to pitch. This is a horror

Phil Mickelson you, nobody would want to watch a movie about how human beings are garbage and run the earth, so instead they tried to promote. This is normal horror, film. We spend all our time here. I want to make a paradise all of it very last detail as she breathed life back into everywhere. Are you happy? I love you.

Change her first calling him sleep in our house, hello, hello did you know he had a wife, it's b r, the coasts. Is the house haunted? No turns out. None of that crap is true. It's just all really bad biblical allegory for a guy who has never really studied the Bible in any depth, and I believe it or not is a self proclaimed proclaimed atheist. So note to self. Play Matthias. Please stop making religiously allegorical movies. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Ok, I'm not making an atheist film. I would suggest that you not make a religious film. If you don't know what in the world you're talking about more but instead Hollywood hates the country and that's exactly what they are now. He said by the way he said to audiences: don't get it because they were literate. Imagine why all of us are turning off our tv's and ignoring you. Okay, we'll be back

tomorrow at the latest in the stupidity vortexes. It continues to build into that category. Five hurricane that will wipe all intellectual life from the planet do better today, guys tomorrow by the way, will be in Utah. So if you're, a University of Utah, I think, were sold out, but there may be overflow room so check it out, but we'll see If you don I'm engineer, this is Ben Shapiro show
