>> OUR APOLLO ASTRONAUTS
INCLUDING THE MAN THAT WORE THE
SUIT WE UNVEILED TODAY WE CAN
NEVER FULLY REPAY.
BUT TODAY IS AN INSTALLMENT IN
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO EXPRESS
THEIR GRATITUDE BY PRESERVING
THIS A SYMBOL OF COURAGE.
>> Mike: CEREMONIES THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES TAKING PLACE
TODAY COMMEMORATING THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF APOLLO 11 MISSION
TO THE MOON.
THREE MAN CREW LIFTED OFF FROM
FLORIDA ON THIS DATE, 1969.
HERE IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL OF
THE ROCKET IMAGE WILL BE
PROJECTED ONTO THE WASHINGTON
MONUMENT THE NEXT FEW EVENINGS.
BUT YOUR AS
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TAKE.
THE CULTURE THAT PUT MAN ON THE
MOUND IS INTENSE, FAN -- FROM
COMP -- FUN, FAMILY AND FRIENDLY
AND MOSTLY WHITE MALE.
LET'S TURN TO DAILY WIRE
BEN SHAPIRO, GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Mike: WHAT ABOUT THOSE
TIMES COMPARED TO NOW.
THEY CERTAINLY PRODUCE SOME
SERIOUS RESULTS IN TERMS OF THE
SPACE PROGRAM.
>> YEAH, I MEAN TO TRY TO TIE
THE BED OF THE TIMES TO THE
SPACE PROGRAM, WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO TAKE DOWN THE FLAG NOW?
LIKE TURNING OVER THE MOON OF
THE CHINESE AND WHAT EXACTLY IS
THE POINT OF THE ARTICLE?
BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN THE 60s
BUT A FEW GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN
THE '60s, THE HISTORY OF
MANKIND PUTTING A MAN ON THE
MOON.
>> Mike: FOR NASA
ADMINISTRATOR'S SPOKE ABOUT THE
RISK INVOLVED WITH THE SPACE
PROGRAM AND LET'S PLAY IT FOR
YOU AND I WILL ASK YOU TO
RESPOND.
>> THERE ARE TWO RISK, THERE IS
TECHNICAL RISK AND THEN
POLITICAL RISK.
WE WOULD BE ON THE MOON RIGHT
NOW IF IT WAS NOT FOR POLITICAL
UNREST.
WE WOULD BE ON MARS RIGHT NOW.
>> Mike: WHAT ABOUT THAT, BEN?
>> I THINK THERE IS TRUTH TO
THAT.
WE HAVE BEEN LESS AMBITIOUS
ABOUT THE MOON, THE PLANETS IN
THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
PRIVATE INDUSTRY IS WHAT WILL
TAKE US THERE AT THIS POINT
GIVING LACK OF AMBITION ON THE
GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL AND MOVING
FORWARD.
I WISH IT WERE DIFFERENT, BUT I
THINK THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS.
>> Mike: ONE ANALYSIS TODAY
SAID THE NATIONAL SENSE OF
URGENCY IS SIMPLY MISSING BUT
INSTEAD NASA THE WINDS OF
LAWMAKERS WHO PRIORITIZE AND
IMPLEMENT IN THEIR DISTRICT OVER
FIGHTING THE MOST EFFICIENT
ROUTE TO DEEP SPACE.
IS THAT CORRECT?
>> I MEAN, I THINK THAT IS
CORRECT.
NASA UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA
FOCUSED ON CLIMATE CHANGE LIKE A
LASER BEAM.
APPARENTLY, EDUCATION IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES AS WELL.
ON SCIENCE.
THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE HAS
BEEN SECONDARY PRIORITY FOR THE
UNITED STATES FOR A LONG TIME.
IT CANNOT REMAIN THAT WAY IN THE
FUTURE BECAUSE OTHER NATIONS
SEEKING TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT
VACUUM.
>> Mike: SWITCHING TOPICS, BEN
WHERE DO YOU COME ON PRESIDENT
TRUMPS TWEETS THAT LAST COUPLE
OF DAYS?
>> IT SEEMS LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND DEMOCRATS A HOLD MY BEER
GAME THAT GIANT CYCLING BETWEEN
AOC AND NANCY PELOSI.
THAT WAS THE WISH IS FOR ALL
CONSERVATIVES IN THE COUNTRY,
REPUBLICANS WATCHING "THE SQUAD"
GO AFTER PELOSI AND PELOSI AT
"THE SQUAD."
IN THE MIDST OF PIRANHA FIGHT,
PRESIDENT TRUMP TO JUMP IN FOR
NO APPARENT ISSUE AND ISSUE A
TWEET AT THE VERY LEAST NOT
POLITICALLY BENEFICIAL AND AT
MOST XENOPHOBIC.
THAT TRIGGERS A MORE AND NOW,
YOU HAVE "THE SQUAD" JUMPING
FORWARD AND SEIZING THE BEER
HANDING BACK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.
AND SUGGESTING IMPEACHMENT BACK
ON THE TABLE AND GOING BACK TO
NANCY PELOSI.
SO IT SEEMS NOT A CLEAR LINE OF
CRAZY AND INSANE ANYMORE.
WE WENT TO THESE FOUR WOMEN,
FRESHMEN WOMEN AND THE CONGRESS,
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ,
RASHIDA TLAIB, ALANA PRESSLEY
AFTER PRESIDENT ELEVATED THEM?
>> I THINK THAT IS THE ONE POINT
THE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS MADE
THAT IS SOUND AND IF HE CAN
ELEVATE THE WOMEN ARE 20 TO ONE
IT WILL BENEFIT DEEPLY UNPOPULAR
BY MOST OF THE STATISTICS OUT
THERE.
SO I THINK NANCY PELOSI HAS BEEN
FORCED TO EMBRACE THEM IN A WAY
SHE WASN'T LAST WEEK WHEN
BASICALLY DOWNPLAYING THEIR
IMPACT AND TRYING TO KNOCK THEM
OFF CENTER STAGE.
>> Mike: PRESIDENT TRUMP
TWEETED DURING OUR SHOW PRAISING
REPUBLICAN UNITY AND WAIT FOR
COREPUBLICANS WENT ALONG WITH
DEMOCRATS CONDEMNING THE
PRESIDENT'S TWEETS.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
>> I MEAN MY THINK THE
REPUBLICANS ARE IN A DIFFICULT
POSITION.
ON THE ONE HAND, THE PRESIDENT
DOESN'T LIKE WHAT YOU TWEET UP
AT THE DEMOCRATS A CYNICAL GAME
WHERE THEY CANNOT CONDEMN
ANTI-SEMITISM AND THEIR OWN
PARTY.
THEY CONDEMN ALL THE PROBLEMS
BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS
SOMETHING THEY FIND TO BE RACIST
