Dollar Shave Club dot com slash covfefe.
Okay, let's get right into this.
I want to talk a little bit first about Stormy Daniels.
Can't go on.
Everything I had has gone, Stormy Daniels.
Let's address it.
Democrats are peddling some totally unreliable tabloid trash that 12 years ago a porn star spanked the president with a copy of Forbes magazine.
Let me just state this for the record.
I would much rather have the president who is titillated by Forbes magazine over the one who's aroused by Saul Alinsky any day of the week.
Rules for radicals.
Give me the former.
What is the story here?
The mainstream media have been peddling this rumor that Trump had an affair with a porn star in 2006.
The porn star in question, Stormy Daniels, denies vehemently that anything took place.
She stated on January 10th, quote, I recently became aware that certain news outlets are alleging that I had a sexual and or romantic affair with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago.
I am stating with complete clarity that this is absolutely false.
My involvement with Donald Trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more.
When I met Donald Trump, he was gracious, professional, and a complete gentleman to me and everyone in my presence.
Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false.
If indeed I did have a relationship with Donald Trump, trust me, you wouldn't be reading about it in the news, you would be reading about it in my book, but the fact of the matter is these stories are not true.
It does kind of sound like Trump might have written that, but it does get a Trumpian vibe, but I don't know, his friends might write that way too.
Now, InTouch Weekly is claiming to have a 2011 interview in which Daniels described the affair in lurid detail.
What does this mean?
For one thing, it means that none of this story is credible.
Why is that?
Because if the 2011 interview is legitimate, the interviewee is a confirmed liar.
If the affair happened, she lied in the letter.
If the affair didn't happen, she lied in the interview.
Either way, if the interview is legitimate, her word is worthless.
Antonin Scalia explained this principle about leaked information at the Supreme Court.
Court clerks are prohibited from speaking to the press.
They promise not to speak to the press.
So when they do leak to the press, if someone does, their word isn't valuable, and so their information is not reliable.
It doesn't mean it isn't true, necessarily.
It just means it isn't reliable.
The source that you're getting the information from is very much in question.
So on to the accusation itself.
There's nothing new here.
We know that Donald Trump has had extramarital affairs in past decades.
He's admitted to it.
He's even bragged about it.
President Trump's personal moral failings were built into the price of voting for him in 2016.
And at the end of that calculation, the American people preferred the loudmouth lech with a patriotic plan to the feckless leftist crook, particularly after Barack Obama spent eight years spanking our collective derriere with rules for radicals that left America less secure, less rich, and less free.
Let's also forget the Clinton comparisons.
Bill Clinton, rather.
Trump has not perjured himself about this.
He hasn't gotten creative with interns and cigars in the Oval Office.
We knew what we were getting when we hired that man.
And that's the operative word.
I think frequently people make an idol out of the presidency.
Particularly people who are atheistic or anti-clerical in this culture, which is both.
Everybody's got to serve somebody.
And so we imbue the presidency with papal magisterium.
Let's keep some perspective.
Let's keep some important perspective here.
We hire the president to do a job.
So he has to perform certain tasks.
He needs to command the military, make treaties, appoint ambassadors, judges, and other public officials, give to the Congress information on the State of the Union, recommend legislation, and faithfully execute the laws.
By all measures, President Trump has so far performed those duties ably.
Better than many if not most of his predecessors.
And that's why they're digging up this trash.
That's why it's coming up now.
Democrats, they can't hit Trump on substantive matters because he's been great on substantive matters and he's been highly conservative and he's been highly effective.
So they have to abase themselves even further with this pornography.
They dig up and report a long-discarded tabloid interview, recanted by the very porn star who gave it.
With the economy soaring, with the world order in recovery, tax reform, deregulation, originalist judicial appointments, desperate Democrats and frivolous Republicans have to make themselves pimps to smack the man who made them look like fools.
Ignore the porn and let the good times roll.
Now, before we get to Joel, because I really want to talk about this movie.
It's very entertaining.
I also want to mention this story about an apparently explosive document that could undermine the Mueller investigation.
Here is Republican Congressman Gates describing it.
Well, Liz, the allegations contained in this important intelligence document go to the very foundations of our democracy, and they require an immediate release to the public, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I cannot talk about the specific facts contained within this memo.
I can only share my observation that if the American people knew what was happening, if they saw the contents of this memo, A lot would become clear about the information that I've been talking about on television for the last several months, and so I am calling on our leadership to immediately hold a vote on the floor of the House to make public the key contents of this intelligence memo regarding the FBI, the Department of Justice, and President Trump.
Critical allegations, and I cannot stress how important they are in this memo.
The Judiciary Committee would likely find the contents of this memo very interesting, very revealing, and just essential to the way our government interacts with the duly elected President of the United States.
This is no small measure.
It is just as important as keeping the government open through the weekend, and we need to have a vote on it immediately.
Congressman Steve King has said, I have read the memo.
The sickening reality has set in.
I no longer hold out hope that there is an innocent explanation for the information the public has seen.
I have long said it is worse than Watergate.
It was hashtag never Trump and hashtag always Hillary.
Hashtag release the memo.
Ron DeSantis has said, quote, That's Lindsey Graham,
a rather moderate Republican, no personal fan of Donald Trump.
What does this all mean?
One theory is that the entire FBI investigation began because of the Democrat-funded Fusion GPS dossier, meaning that the federal government became political enforcers for Democrats to throw an election.
I spoke to a high-level source this morning and he informed me that Barack Obama's ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, may be implicated in all of this.
In October, Samantha Power denied that in the final months of the Obama administration, she initiated well over 100 unmaskings to identify Americans whose names turned up in foreign intelligence reporting, specifically members of the Trump campaign.
At the time, a spokesman for Power said, quote, The anonymously sourced reports about Ambassador Power's intelligence requests are false.
Now, the source I spoke to this morning suggests that that was a lie.
The Russia collusion story always seemed like a distraction.
Democrat ranking member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein admitted they have no evidence of nefarious dealings, and Van Jones called the story a nothing burger.
Now we have to wonder if perhaps the Russia collusion story wasn't merely a distraction for more nefarious dealings on the part of Democrats and the corrupt Chicago machine politician sitting in the Oval Office when it all went down.
Okay, on a lighter note, all of this collusion and the government conspiring against Republicans, on a lighter note, let's bring on Joel Gilbert.
Joel is the filmmaker behind one of the most covfefe movies ever assembled, Donald Trump, The Art of the Insult.
I think I even have a copy right here.
I'm going to prop it up with my Fleckes Talks covfefe soup can.
He's also released the films.
Oh my gosh, this is a disaster.
I blame the FBI and James Comey.
So Joel has also released the films Paul McCartney Really Is Dead, The Last Testament of George Harrison, Elvis Found Alive, and Dreams from My Real Father, A Story of Reds and Deception.
Here is a clip from his latest film.
You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs.
Only Rosie O'Donnell.
And they said that wasn't politically correct.
Who cares?
You haven't been called.
Go back to Univision.
I think Jeb is a nice person.
He's very low energy.
I'm not used to that kind of a person.
Throw him out.
Throw him out into the cold.
Don't give them their coat.
No coats.
L-Y-I-N apostrophe.
Lyonton!
Lyonton!
I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion.
The most dishonest human beings.
These people right here.
Look at all the cameras.
So disgusting.
This socialist slash communist.
Crazy Bernie.
He's crazy as a bit, bud.
Pocahontas?
The Indian.
Very offensive.
I'm sorry about that.
Pocahontas?
Crazier than a bed bug.
Poga Honest, Joel, thank you for being here.
Thanks for having me today.
Appreciate you doing it.
I really enjoyed watching the movie.
So let's get right into it.
My first question, what is the secret of the art of the insult?
Donald Trump's secret, of course, I guess it starts with some New York chutzpah that he's willing to stand his ground.
And with that, he comes up with branding of his opponents.
People forget that Donald Trump was in the entertainment business for 30 years.
They think of him as a real estate guy.
But he was doing professional wrestling, pro boxing, Miss America, Miss Universe, of course, The Apprentice.
He owned a USFL football team.
So he had seen and done it all when it came to marketing and hype.
And being in New York, he knew how to manipulate the media very easily.
So he came up with these brand names for his opponents, and they were so effective because they had a little mix of truth and humor.
The first one that most people remember that was so effective was, of course, Low Energy Jeb.
It killed him.
It totally destroyed Jeb Bush's presidential campaign.
I mean, $120 million in the bank.
And Trump came along with a marketing concept called low energy.
And he had very little money.
He had this massive office in Trump Tower with three guys in it.
And he would fly around in the, you know, Trump airplane and landed these hangers on this Trumpapalooza tour.
And you'd have 20,000 people waiting five, six, seven times a day, and he'd go into this hilarious performance art where he'd mimic and imitate the people that he was branding.
And it was so entertaining and so much fun, he was able to use this performance art in combination with the branding to just destroy his opponents, and the media just fell right into it.
One of the funniest things I would always, you could just tell that The protesters would come to protest.
They'd say, we're going to stop Donald Trump.
We're going to embarrass him.
We're going to make him look bad.
And as soon as they would start protesting, he would suddenly smile.
He'd say, look, look at the protesters.
And they didn't realize that they were the ones that were drawing all the media to Trump's events.
So he got $2 billion in free earned media just by manipulating everybody.
It was masterful.
Well, his entire campaign, it seemed to me, was some insults, some fairly clear policy proposals, and cheap hats.
And that was it.
And he got $2 billion of free media out of it.
What was it about his insults that was so sticky?
Because they didn't all stick.
He tried out a few on Hillary.
He tried out low-stamina Hillary.
That didn't really stick.
But crooked Hillary was perfect.
Low-energy Jeb was perfect.
What was it about that wording that made it so highly effective?
Well, some of them were not as effective like calling out Carly Fiorina for her face.
That was kind of off limits for a woman to talk about her looks.
Pocahontas worked on Elizabeth Warren because it was something that had been around for a few years.
lying Ted Cruz, it really required a lot of explanation.
It was particularly hurtful and it was very skillful because Cruz's number one asset was he was considered to be very honest, constitutional Republican and somebody who stood for principle.
So he was really going after his strength.
That was the brilliance of that one.
And it kind of unnerved Cruz.
He kind of fell apart.
And I felt that one was very aesthetic because I liked Ted Cruz a lot.
I don't think he's a liar.
I thought he was a fairly serious and straightforward candidate.
But he looks like a liar.
He just has a look about him.
He even has talked about this.
And so it almost seemed to me that Donald Trump was playing on what you saw in front of your face rather even than what Cruz was doing in the campaigns or in his Senate career.
Let me take comments about Cruz.
Look, Ted, I spent a lot of time with Republican base voters over the past five, six years with my film, I'm Known for Dreams from My Real Father, There's No Place Like Utopia, and it was clear that the Republican base had moved far to the right of the establishment.
And Cruz played a big part in that.
He went around, of course, he was widely admired.
First guy to stand up to Obama on the Obamacare.
Red, green eggs and ham on the Senate floor.
He was the anti-establishment hero.
And I actually advised Cruz, I worked with the campaign, and I told Ted and the campaign, I said, look, Ted just needs to beat Ted Cruz, the rebel, the outsider.
Mr.
Cruz goes to Washington.
I told him it was his to lose.
They went for more of an establishment campaign.
Chairman in every state, every county.
No strong marketing message.
He tried to move to the middle.
He kind of wanted to be Jeb Bush.
So Donald Trump came along and said, okay, if you don't want to be Ted Cruz, I'll be Ted Cruz.
So you can argue the drain the swamp candidate was Ted Cruz originally, but he dropped it off and Trump came and Ted won the election, but it was in the person of Donald Trump.
And on that, Trump was so...
Unconciliatory.
There was no moment.
I loved that moment when he said something about anchor babies.
And the journalist interviewing him said, don't you know that's offensive?
He said, well, I know it's not politically correct, but what would you prefer?
And the guy says, you know, I don't know.
Future American, undocumented, whatever.
Trump looks at him and he goes, yeah, I'm going to stick with anchor baby.
What is it about that cutting through the politically correct, pristine images we see from politicians totally constructed in a laboratory?
Trump cut through that like butter.
Is it something about our moment that we're in right now that made that work?
Or could a candidate have done it 10 years ago would work just as well?
I think it would have worked as well.
The American public had been had, abused by Barack Obama for eight years.
Don't forget he ran as a mainstream candidate.
I'm going to cut the deficit in half.
I'm going to obey the Constitution.
Marriage is between a man and a woman and God.
He made it clear that he's mainstream.
He never intended to do any of that.
It was an intentional lie.
And think of how evil a plan that is to come up with a fake agenda to try to get elected.
And Obama is really the story of how American socialism changed from the late 60s.
It was calls for open revolution.
Let's destroy the Constitution.
Let's put 50 million Americans in camps and murder half of them.
That's what the Weather Underground and Bill Ayers were pushing.
They went to jail because it was so evil.
You're talking about Barack Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers.
Correct.
So the way American socialism evolved was these guys came out of jail and out of prison in the early 80s, went back to Chicago into these educational institutions, and the old radicals taught the new group of young radicals like Barack Obama.
They said, look, you cannot overthrow the government from the outside.
It won't work.
So keep your socialism to yourself.
Keep your Marxism inside.
And just tell people you want to help families.
You want to give them free health care.
And once you take power, you'll throw them under the bus and pursue the radical agenda that nobody voted for.
When we saw this in Obama, Obama said, my health care plan is going to lower costs for everybody.
Not a tax.
It's not a tax and no one's costs are going to go up.
And then when obviously costs rose precipitously, he said, well, you didn't think you were going to get all that good stuff for free, did you?
He said, yes, we did.
You told us that we would.
So there was a collective rage in the public that we've been had, we've been abused, we've been lied to.
Barack Obama interfered in the 2012 election with the IRS. The conservatives were suppressed from organizing while the left could organize.
And then, you know, we didn't need any Russian interference in 2012.
We had our own Bolshevik in the White House using the tools of state to maintain power.
And now we're seeing he did it again with the DOJ and FBI. And he promised us in 2012, right, he said to Medvedev, he said, I'm going to have more flexibility after my election.
As if to say, I am going to lie to the American public about my plans, but then I'll be nicer to you when I'm in office.
And the classic response was, duh, I will transmit this information to Vladimir.
Yeah, it was like an old spy movie, almost Cold War, you know, unbelievable.
You almost think that maybe the Russians had something on Obama.
But Donald Trump picked up on that wave, and he was part of that.
And that's why middle America fell in love with this Manhattan billionaire.
And I think in the movie, Trump, The Art of the Insult, it takes you through this rollicking ride.
You just can't stop laughing and kind of cheering.
And I thought I understood Trump.
I read books about him.
I talked to people who knew him for 30 years.
I thought I knew Trump.
Only when I put the movie together where you see all of this back to back, you see him reacting and how authentic he is.
And that's why he said what he said and he meant what he said.
And even if it was a little odd or off the wall sometimes, you still wanted to vote for him.
Whereas when Hillary spoke, you really couldn't figure out what she was saying.
And if you did, you didn't believe her.
And yeah, you had to parse what she really meant.
She said this and, well, I know that in Clintonese, This really means that, and this really means that, and you had to try to force it.
With Trump, you didn't really have to.
And that's one thing I really like about the movie is that it provides this great collection of just all of these hilarious Trump moments, very effective Trump moments.
Critics of President Covfefe say that he is debasing Trump.
The moral and political discourse of the United States because he has these zingers and he's a brash billionaire from Queens.
Do you think there's a moral hazard to this loose talk from the president, this straight talk from the president, or let the good times roll, we're getting great government out of it, stop your pearl clutching?
Look, all Trump is doing is standing up for himself.
He's standing his ground.
He's standing his turf.
If people violate the rules, like Dianne Feinstein, she's sneaky Dianne Feinstein.
So he's branding her.
He's continuing to do what he does best, which is to call out his opponents and defend himself.
Don't forget, what did Barack Obama do?
He abused the electorate every single day, called Americans racist on every occasion that he could.
He used the government to do all kinds of nefarious things, telling people there's an evil boogeyman that has your money, the top 1% is taking all your money, give me the power, raise taxes.
What Trump has done in comparison to Obama's transgressions is nothing.
He's standing his ground, and I think if he continues to do that and stays the authentic Queens street fighter that people voted for, they wanted a fighter.
It didn't matter.
When he told Jorge Ramos, go back to Univision, right there you could say the election was over.
It was early on because people wanted a fighter, and it wasn't about Jorge Ramos.
It was about this guy...
We'll stand up to Hillary.
He will.
We see the strength here and we want to see the next episode of the show.
And so my last question, can he win in 2020 and how will he do it?
Look, he's up against a Democrat party that is an anti-democracy party.
They're now a radical socialist party.
As soon as Trump was elected, two million anti-democracy protesters took to the streets.
The Democrat leaders call for resistance.
Now, resistance is a military term.
The anti-Nazi partisans use resistance.
Hamas terrorists are in resistance.
Now, in a democracy, it's called opposition, not resistance, like an opposing opinion.
But they're always shocked to find out that anyone holds a different opinion than they do.
They're very tolerant until someone has a different opinion.
Exactly.
But it's violent rhetoric, and that's why we saw that guy, James Hodgkinson, the leftist activist, try to murder the top Republican leaders and gravely injured Steve Scalise.
So Trump has the entire media complex against him, the Democrat Party willing to shut down the government, willing to do anything to stop him, because if he's successful, it It reveals how bankrupt their policies are, their economics, and their leftist agenda to divide the country and pit people against each other.
So he's up against a very formidable array of very entrenched enemies.
I think he can prevail because the American people understand him and they're on his side.
And if he continues to just be himself and stand his ground, I think the Republicans will be very successful in 2008.
And despite the constant negative press, Covfefe, where can people get the movie, Trump the Order of the Insult?
Well, if they're in the L.A. area, they can see the world premiere screening in Encino on Tuesday night, next week, the 23rd.
It is available, Amazon.com, Best Buy, Barnes& Noble, everywhere you find digital downloads or DVDs.

Joel, thank you for being here.
Thanks so much.
All right.
We've got to close off.
I've got a little bit to say about the March for Life, you know, that thing that the mainstream media refused to cover, the largest, longest continual protest in the history of America.
But before we do that, I have to say goodbye to you.
I'm sorry.
If you're on TheDailyWire.com, we appreciate it.
You help us keep the covfefe in our cup and the lights on.

Once Trump the Art of the Insult debuts next Tuesday in Encino, there's going to be a flood.
We had a lot of fires, and L.A. has been dry for decades.
It is going to flood, and you're going to need this.
This is the Leftist Tears Tumblr.
It is going away.
You do not know the day or the hour, but make sure you get your copy of it before it is gone, otherwise you and your family could drown.
We will be right back.
go over to dailywire.com.
The March for Life.
Tens of thousands of people right now are marching on Washington, D.C. for the 45th annual March for Life.
Never heard of it?
You're not alone.
Even many conservatives don't really know anything about it because the mainstream media generally black the event out.
Which is really incredible, by the way, as the March for Life is the longest continual protest in American history.
They've been marching ever since the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v.
Wade that made up a constitutional right to abortion.
You know, you know, that thing where the framers were so concerned about abortion.
Give me abortion or give me death.
I forget exactly which article that right to abortion is in, but if you read the Constitution very, very closely, and then you invent that right out of whole cloth, you should find it.
Pro-life supporters have come in from all over the country, and their efforts have not been in vain.
Five years ago, in 2013, the number of annual abortions fell below one million for the first time in 40 years, and that number has slowly continued to drop.
Of course, that means there are still roughly one million babies killed in the womb each year, with maniacal ghouls like Cecile Richards at Planned Parenthood snuffing out a third of them.
Planned Parenthood alone has killed Well over 60 million abortions have occurred in the United States.
To put that in perspective, that's the total population of South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, Arkansas, Utah, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Washington, D.C., Vermont and Wyoming combined.
Today, as many people identify as pro-life as pro-choice, up tremendously over the past four decades, despite the constant slew of pro-abortion propaganda from the mainstream media and Hollywood.
Cynical politicians scaremonger.
They say that without abortion, before Roe v.
Wade, without Roe v.
Wade, thousands of women would die each year from back-alley abortions, from coat-hanger abortions.
The former head of the National Abortion Rights Action League, Bernard Nathanson, has since admitted that he and his pro-abortion conspirators completely invented that number.
It was totally made up.
It's a total lie.
In reality, by 1972, the year before Roe v.
Wade, when abortion was still illegal in the majority of the country, the actual number of women who died from illegal abortions was 39.
Not 39,000.
Not 3,900.
39.
The Wilder statistic is that that same year, 24 women died from legal abortions, despite legal abortion only existing in a small percentage of states.
The mass slaughter has taken a disproportionate toll on racial minorities.
In New York City, more black babies are aborted than born.
This is no coincidence.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a committed eugenicist to explain, quote, To understand the difficulties and the obstacles to be overcome before the dream of a greater race in America can be attained is to understand something of the task before the women who shall give birth to that race.
Among our more than 100 million population are Negroes, Indians, Chinese, and other colored people to the number of 11 million.
There are also 14,500,000 persons of foreign birth.
There were 1,600,000 illiterate foreigners in the United States when the 1910 census was taken.
