=== The Capitol Riot's Impact (04:13) ===

[00:00:01]  The riot in the capital of the United States of America was a gift to the left and the Democrats that even they would not have imagined could have happened.
[00:00:17]  It was beyond wrong.
[00:00:20]  Somebody once said about something, and I wish I remembered exactly, but it made a big impact on me many years ago when I read it.
[00:00:28]  It was worse than wrong.
[00:00:30]  It was stupid.
[00:00:32]  It was a mistake.
[00:00:35]  The injury to the cause is incalculable.
[00:00:42]  This will be constantly used as an excuse to morally defend the destruction of this country that we'll be engaged in further because the left has so much power.
[00:00:54]  That's it.
[00:00:55]  That's what they did.
[00:00:58]  Now, having said that, I will analyze why some of them, I can't speak for all of them, did this.
[00:01:07]  Which is, does not fall into the realm of tu comprends, si tu pardones.
[00:01:15]  That if you understand everything, you forgive everything.
[00:01:18]  No, not at all.
[00:01:21]  I don't think I could have condemned this in stronger terms.
[00:01:26]  I was so furious yesterday that for the promo of this show, I think it was the only promo I ever recorded in which I yelled.
[00:01:37]  I was so angry.
[00:01:39]  It happened at the very, very end of my show.
[00:01:42]  I didn't even know it was happening during the show.
[00:01:43]  I never watch television while I broadcast because my concentration cannot be diverted.
[00:01:53]  That's the way.
[00:01:55]  My mind works.
[00:01:59]  I had been saying the right doesn't riot.
[00:02:08]  The left riots.
[00:02:11]  This wasn't a riot in the sense of looting and burning, and that, by the way, is not insignificant.
[00:02:18]  There are gradations of evil, but it was made up for.
[00:02:22]  By the locale of where it took place.
[00:02:27]  When I see a picture of a guy sitting in Nancy Pelosi's chair, you know, yucking it up for the camera, I can't take this person seriously.
[00:02:39]  What can I tell you?
[00:02:41]  What cause are you actually advancing by doing that?
[00:02:46]  Smashing the glass of the U.S. Capitol?
[00:02:49]  My side?
[00:02:54]  The tarnishing of Donald Trump's legacy with these scenes.
[00:03:07]  I wonder, I would love to ask them, did you have this in mind when you came to Washington?
[00:03:17]  Was this part of your thinking?
[00:03:20]  I will break down the windows of the United States Capitol and take over offices there.
[00:03:30]  I don't know the answer to that.
[00:03:34]  Now, having said that, I spoke to people...
[00:03:39]  This was very...
[00:03:41]  It was eye-opening to me.
[00:03:43]  I spoke to people who are not supporting it morally.
[00:03:49]  Supported it emotionally.
[00:03:52]  And I learned a great deal.
[00:03:56]  My dear friends, there are tens upon tens of millions of Americans, basically half of the United States, that feels that every institution in the country has contempt for them.

=== The Best Unemployment Rate Ever (01:39) ===

[00:04:13]  And they're right.
[00:04:17]  But you don't hear from them because the institutions that have contempt for these Americans, which is basically half this country, the deplorables, if you will, don't report it.
[00:04:33]  The media considers Trump supporters to be rabble, including the intellectuals among them, Victor Davis Hanson or Larry Elder.
[00:04:49]  Or any other names.
[00:04:52]  Or me.
[00:04:53]  Or more or less Ben Shapiro, even though he was an anti-Trump guy in the beginning.
[00:04:59]  I was an anti-Trump guy in the beginning, too.
[00:05:02]  But not once he ran for office.
[00:05:05]  By the way, he did a great job as president.
[00:05:07]  That's the irony.
[00:05:10]  He accomplished more good than any president of my lifetime.
[00:05:17]  But it doesn't matter.
[00:05:19]  Oh, so he brought peace between Israel and four Arab countries.
[00:05:23]  So what?
[00:05:24]  Oh, he had the best unemployment rate in 50 years and the best unemployment rate for black Americans ever.
[00:05:35]  Ever since they've been recording these things.
[00:05:38]  So what?
