| 0:00.0 | As we begin a new year and a new decade, it's time to turn our thoughts to ending the nation's great political divide. |
| 0:07.0 | We must begin to seek common ground between those of us who believe in the sacred principles of the American founding and the Democrats, |
| 0:15.0 | who are attempting to devour those principles like a swarm of locusts, or some sort of toxic green slime that seeps into the fabric of our most cherished traditions, |
| 0:25.0 | and eats away at them like acid, and then like in some disgusting horror movie, slowly morphs into the shape of an 80-year-old communist and runs for president. |
| 0:34.0 | Surely there must be some way to ease the hostilities between those of us who understand the blessings of free thought and free enterprise, |
| 0:41.0 | and those pimply little craps who never did a damn thing but get themselves into debt, and then whine about how the rest of us should pay for it, |
| 0:48.0 | because now they have a degree in race theory and its application to 17th century literature, and they can't find a job even after we somehow save the economy from their idiot ideas. |
| 0:58.0 | We have to set our anger aside and find areas of agreement between conservative men and women and whatever non-gendered fairy tale creatures the left imagines themselves to be. |
| 1:07.0 | Think of the sorts of things that all Americans can enjoy. |
| 1:11.0 | Maybe we can all sit down together and have some ice cream, that ought to keep the little scum suckers quiet for 10 consecutive minutes at least, |
| 1:19.0 | so we can explain the facts of life to them while they try to learn new ways of thinking, like logically, for instance. |
| 1:26.0 | Then hopefully we can get to November and crush a lot of them and drive them before us and hear the lamentations of their women, |
| 1:32.0 | not that their women have stopped lamenting for 10 minutes at a time ever. |
| 1:36.0 | So, happy New Year to all Americans and to the Democrats as well. Trigger warning, Andrew Clayvin, and this is the Andrew Clayvin Show. |
| 2:07.0 | Well, I had just a terrific holiday in New York and I hope you had a terrific holiday wherever you were and I hope this New Year and the New decade brings you nothing but blessings and peace. |
| 2:22.0 | And one of the things that really helped me enjoy my break is that as Christmas approached, I made a resolution to stop tweeting in order to avoid unhelpful political conflicts interfering with my holidays. |
| 2:33.0 | I broke this non-tweet resolution only twice and both times it was in anticipation of my New Year's resolution, which is to talk more about the things that matter and less about nonsense. |
| 2:45.0 | One of my Twitter violations was I tweeted out my final Christmas column for the Daily Wire. The column was about how I read some of the sayings of Jesus Christ and what I think he means when he was telling us how to live, how he means for us to live. |
| 2:57.0 | The column was important to me because one of the things that matters that I want to talk about more is the role of God in our politics. |
| 3:05.0 | To me, the epidemic of despair and suicide in our heartland, the epidemic of socialism among our intellectuals, and the rampant confusion and dishonesty about our sexuality are all evidence that the US is suffering from the same sickness of secularism that destroyed the great civilization of Europe. |
| 3:22.0 | But, too often, when we speak of the need for God in our public life, I think we get kind of vague about the specifics. What are we talking about? |
| 3:30.0 | Our founders were formed by the Christian ideas that created European culture, but they also knew from the very start that this country was not going to be a specifically Christian country. |
