I WANT TO
ENTER INTO TRUMP'S RESPONSE, TODAY'S ENTRY IN THE DONALD
TRUMP PIVOTING TO GENERAL ELECTION MODE, WHERE HE BECOMES
A MODERATE --
>>THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
>>HE CAN'T GO SEVEN HOURS WITHOUT A RACIAL SLUR.
>>I'M ACTUALLY AMAZED BY THE REACTION OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
TO THIS.
I SHOULDN'T BE AMAZED THAT ANYTHING THEY DO, BUT WHY
IS THIS NOT A RACIAL SLUR?
THEY ARE TREATING IT LIKE, HA HA, IT
IS FUNNY OR JOKE OR A LITTLE DISRESPECTFUL, OR NO BIG DEAL,
IT IS CERTAINLY NOT TO THE LEVEL OF WHEN HE CALLED THE JUDGE
MEXICAN, WHERE THE WHOLE COUNTRY INCLUDING THE ENTIRE PUBLICAN
PARTY FLIPPED OUT.
YOU CAN'T CALL A PERSON WHO EITHER IS SOMEWHAT NATIVE
AMERICAN OR COMPLETELY NATIVE AMERICAN, WHATEVER IT IS,
YOU CAN'T CALL THEM POCAHONTAS.
>>IN A DISMISSIVE WAY.
>>THAT IS CRAZY TALK.
>>AND HE KEEPS DOING IT, AND THEN HE SAYS TO A FEMALE
SENATOR, SHE HAS A NASTY MOUTH.
WHAT KIND OF WAY TO TALK IS THAT?
>>THIS IS FROM A GUY WHO HAS REDEFINED NASTY MOUTH IN THIS
CAMPAIGN.
HE IS SO FAR OUT OF BOUNDS AND IT HAS BEEN
NORMALIZED BY THE PRESS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WAY THE PRESS HAS
NORMALIZED THIS GUY, HE HAS THIS WIDE BERTH OF OFFENSIVENESS
UNLIKE ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.
>>HE SAYS SHE HAS A NASTY MOUTH BECAUSE HE ATTACKED HIS
POLICIES AND SAID HE WAS THIN-SKINNED.
THEN HE GOES CRAZY BECAUSE SHE CALLED HIM THIN-SKINNED,
I LOVE IT.
>>HE DID THAT AT THE RALLY I WENT TO, REFERRED TO HER AS
POCAHONTAS, AND ALL THE NICE PEOPLE, ALL THE FAMILY VALUES
PEOPLE, GET A KICK OUT OF RACISM, IT MAKES THEM GIGGLE.
ALL THE FAMILY VALUES CHRISTIAN PHONY MOTHERFUCKERS
WHO GO TO A TRUMP RALLY, TRUMP REVEALS THEM TO BE
HYPOCRITES.
ISN'T THAT THE EQUIVALENT TO CALLING MARCO
RUBIO SPEEDY GONZALES?
>>OR HISTORICALLY, LOOK AT PONCE DE LEON OVER HERE, OR
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
NOBODY WOULD DO THAT.
>>THOSE ARE LESS OFFENSIVE, BUT CARTOONISH CHARACTERS -- PONCE
DE LEON?
>>THAT IS A FIRST.
HOW LONG HAS TYT BEEN ON, THIS IS THE FIRST
PONCE DE LEON REFERENCE.
>>IF HE WAS LIKE, LOOK AT ALADDIN OVER HERE, THAT IS
OFFENSIVE.
WHY IS IT THAT NATIVE AMERICANS -- MUSLIMS I THOUGHT
YOU COULD OFFEND EVEN EASIER, BUT IT TURNS OUT NATIVE
AMERICANS ARE THE EASIEST TO OFFEND.
ARE THERE NOT ENOUGH NATIVE
AMERICANS IN THE COUNTRY, SO YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT ABOUT THEM?
>>A) YES, AND B)
THERE IS NO VOTING CONSTITUENCY TO PAY
ATTENTION TO, THAT IS WHY THE PRESS DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION TO
IT.
THERE IS STILL A TEAM CALLED THE FUCKING WASHINGTON REDSKINS.
>>I'M CHANGING MY MIND ON THAT MAYBE, BECAUSE THERE WAS A
POOL OF NATIVE AMERICANS.
>>THAT POLL WAS EFFED UP IN A LOT OF WAYS.
>>BUT IF THEY DON'T MIND, WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF IT OF OURS?
>>I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR OFF TRACK, BUT IT IS WAY BLURRY,
THAT IS NOT THE PUTDOWN -- IT'S ORIGINS ARE NOT IN --
>>ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT REDSKINS?
LET'S GET BACK TO POCAHONTAS.
>>IF YOU WANT TO DO THE DRILL DOWN ON THIS, AND THE TYT
AUDIENCE KNOWS -- POCAHONTAS IS A WEIRD STORY, THIS IS A WOMAN
WHO WAS SORT OF FORCED INTO THE WHITE CULTURE, IS THAT WHO
POCAHONTAS WAS?
>>SOME CERTAINLY CLAIM THAT, THE STORY WE TOLD IN THE BEGINNING
WAS THIS YOUNG NATIVE AMERICAN GIRL VOLUNTEERED TO GO WITH THE
WHITE MEN ON A TRIP.
AND THEN IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN MY DAD TOLD
THE STORY OF WHEN THE TURKS CONQUERED ISTANBUL, THEY SAID
PEOPLE WERE HAPPY TO BE CONQUERED.
THE YOUNG WOMEN CAME
AND GAVE THE OTTOMAN SULTAN A FLOWER.
I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT STORY IS PROBABLY A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
>>HISTORY HAS DONE A REWRITE ON THAT.
>>WHEN YOU GET TO THE REWRITE OF POCAHONTAS YOU WONDER IF IT
WAS AS VOLUNTARY AS WE WERE TOLD.
>>ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE IS IN WESTERN CLOTHING, SHE GIVES UP
HER INDIAN HERITAGE IN TERMS OF HER TRADITIONAL GARB -- NO ONE
WAS EFFED THE WAY THE NATIVE AMERICANS WERE.
AND THERE IS A
LOT OF COMPETITION, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING --
INVOKING THE NAME POCAHONTAS ALONE GIVES ME THE CREEPS, AND
THE FACT THAT HE JUST KEEPS UNCORKING IT AT EVERY REFERENCE
WITH ELIZABETH WARREN IS NAUSEATING TO ME.
>>IT WOULD BE LIKE REFERRING TO A BLACK WOMAN AS HARRIET TUBMAN
OVER HERE -- THIS DISMISSIVE -- ANYWAY, YOU ARE RIGHT, AND THE
FACT THAT WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE NORMALIZATION OF TRUMP, IT
IS OVER NORMALIZED.
>>IT'S ENCOURAGED.
>>AGAIN, IT IS THE NEUTRALITY OF THE MEDIA TREATED LIKE, THEY SAY
THIS, THEY SAY THAT -- AND THEY DON'T FRAME TRUMP'S RALLIES
AS HATE RALLIES, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE.
>>AND ELIZABETH WARREN -- I ACTUALLY THINK ON THIS GROUND
SHE IS DOING A GREAT JOB.
SHE IS GETTING UNDER HIS SKIN, HE IS
THIN-SKINNED, AND SHE KEEPS CALLING HIM AN INSECURE MONEY
GRUBBER.
>>THAT IS A GREAT ONE.
>>IT DRIVES HIM CRAZY AND HE IRONICALLY PROVES HIS INSECURITY
EVERY TIME HE DOES THAT.
IF SHE IS THE VP, AND THERE ARE ARGUMENTS
BOTH WAYS WHETHER SHE SHOULD DO IT OR NOT, SHE WILL DRIVE HIM
NUTS, AND HIS REACTION TO THAT WILL PROVE TO BE A POOR REACTION
THAT EVENTUALLY I THINK WOULD UNDO HIM.
AT SOME POINT THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA I THINK WILL ASK THE SAME QUESTION WE ARE
ASKING EVERY THREE MONTHS LATER -- WAIT A MINUTE, ISN'T ALL THE
THINGS HE IS SAYING ABOUT ELIZABETH WARREN DEEPLY
OFFENSIVE?
AND IF YOU HAVE TWO WOMEN ON THE TICKET HE WILL DO
SO MANY ANTI-WOMEN ATTACKS THAT EVEN REPUBLICAN WOMEN WOULD BE LIKE --
>>THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
THOSE PEOPLE, THOSE REPUBLICAN WOMEN
ARE HOME LISTENING TO DICE CLAY CDs RIGHT NOW, THEY DON'T GIVE A
FUCK.
AND I'LL SAY THIS, BECAUSE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ELIZABETH
WARREN TWEETED I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO KEEP DONALD TRUMP
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, I WILL FIGHT -- THAT WAS HER BIG THING.
AND I TWEETED BACK AT HER, WHY DON'T YOU ENDORSE THE GUY WHO
HAS A CHANCE OF BEATING HIM?
IF THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, YOU
WOULD ENDORSE THAT GUY, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, IT IS
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
IF ALL YOU CARED ABOUT WAS DEFEATING HIM, YOU ENDORSE
BERNIE SANDERS.
SO YOU ARE STILL PLAYING A LITTLE BIT OF A POLITICAL
CALCULATION.
