![]() And the quest for a perfect world must begin in tearing down such institutions with whatever means are at our disposal. The Declaration of Independence was a lie the Constitution was merely a guise for power. We are not free until everyone is truly free.”Īmerica, to these types, is a platform for utopianism rather than a set of ideals worthy of emulation. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., similarly tweeted, “ This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.” Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., tweeted, “The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human. Why is it that liberals in the United States are so much less proud of America than conservatives? These days, the answer liberals typically give is America’s inherent sinfulness there is nothing in the American founding worth conserving. ![]() In fact, Democratic love of country has always fallen far behind that of Republicans, even during the Obama era, when it hit a temporary high of just over 50% (Republicans at the time said they were extremely proud of the country at a rate of approximately 70%). That’s the question this July 4 as just 29% of Democrats say they’re extremely proud of the country, accompanied by just 33% of Independents and 60% of Republicans. Listen to your lawyers.What, precisely, is it about America you love? You're in the middle of a legal proceeding. Put aside whether you like or hate the guy. Would you like to see him not go to jail? Then perhaps he should stop talking like this. He's going to end up in a court of law on all of this. If you are rooting for Trump, then he has to have a plan. ![]() And - and now he is walking through a variety of excuses. I will show them to you, a not-classified person. Now he's trying to walk that back because there's tape of him literally saying - and we played it yesterday - there's tape of him literally saying, here are classified documents. Did he hit all of those? I mean, by his own admission, kind of, yes. The law says here are the things that the crime constitutes, A, B, C, and D. But does that mean that he didn't fulfill the] tenets of, like - they're elements of - this is how law works. I think Donald Trump has a weird meticulous hoarder-like attachment to things that he thinks are his. I'm not somebody who's thinking that Donald Trump was, like, taking these secrets and distributing them all over the place. And they have contemporaneous text messages of Donald Trump saying to his own people - Walt Nauta, who's now under indictment also - that he should move those boxes around without the lawyers knowing about it. Not only did he not turn the documents back in, he instructed his lawyers to go say that he had turned the documents back in. So, you'll recall Donald Trump was accused in the indictment of having taken documents that he was not supposed to take, and then he was given every opportunity by the DOJ and by the National Archives and by the FBI to turn those documents back in. ![]() Also, does what he did - does that fulfill the elements of the crime? I mean, from the evidence that we've seen so far, pretty obviously yes. The prosecution is politically-motivated and unjust on the part of Merrick Garland, no question. Those two things you should hold in your mind at the same time. Donald Trump pretty much admits on tape to doing the thing that he's accused of doing. However, does that mean that Donald Trump did not do the thing he's accused of doing? It doesn't mean that either. Once again, should Donald Trump be prosecuted for the exact same crime that Hillary Clinton was basically let off the hook for? He shouldn't - if it doesn't work for Hillary, it doesn't work for Trump. BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): So, let's just be real about this. ![]()
