Andrew Klavan discusses the series finale of the HBO fantasy series “Game of Thrones” and discusses how Democrats are becoming the dragon queen on Monday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show.” Video and partial transcript below:

Democrats are the dragon queen. They are the dragon queen. You know, last week we saw not just in my Stanford address, where they tried to start trouble, where the administration tried to start trouble and kind of shut me down and get people upset. But we saw — we had my friend on Michael Loftis the comedian, who told you how he couldn’t get his stuff sold because he was a right-winger. So, they want to silence him.

We saw Jenna Ellis, now Mrs. Reeves, Jenna Ellis Reeves, was blocked on Facebook for supporting Matt Walsh in his anti-abortion fight. We see all these people being thrown off. We see people using power without thinking about the fact that power contradicts the very things they are trying to achieve. And you know, I know they started out, or at least in their hearts, wanting to do good. I know they want to reverse racist policies of the past, but the Left has become truly, truly wicked in their racist ideas. You know, this is something enormous, identity politics which is racism with a smiley face, is simple evil. And I mean I see it all the time, I see like segregated dorms and colleges.

In my profession and storytelling, they now have a thing called “own story” which is you can only tell your own story or the story of people like you. We saw this with Elton John’s movie coming out and people started to complain about the fact that the actor who plays the gay Elton John is not himself gay, and Elton John, to his credit, came out said that’s garbage that is B.S. because it’s just a movie. But if you think about it, the thought … that there is something about it between a black person and a white person, between a gay person and a straight person; some barrier that keeps an artist, whose job is to portray all of humanity, that keeps them apart. So, they’ve come back to the kind of racism, the Left has come back to the kind of racism they practiced under Jim Crow. They keep saying, “Well that was different because now you got Nixon’s Southern strategy changing everything.” The same attitude. It is the same thing.

So, it’s evil stuff they’re pushing on people. They start out trying to do good; they wind up doing evil because they feel that they have got what’s right and they’re going to eliminate all choice. Eliminate all voices on the other side. And that is the journey of the dragon queen in “Game of Thrones.” But what we should have been doing instead of going on and saying I didn’t want this person to take the throne and I didn’t do this and why didn’t they say this on Twitter, which is what conservative Twitter looks like. We should have been saying “oh look the Democrats, the Democrats are the dragon queen, they have started out trying to do good and now they’re so convinced that only their way is good that they are going to enforce that on everybody else.” And what the queen says is they don’t get to decide. Those people that she’s liberating, she’s going to liberate them, and they don’t get to decide what’s good because she knows what’s good. She’s a Leftist. She becomes a Leftist.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti apologize for agreeing with the Trump administration’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem on a recent trip to Israel.

Garcetti, the first Jewish mayor in the history of L.A., said last week, according to the Los Angeles Times: “I support the embassy being here. Israel shouldn’t be the only country in the world that can’t determine where its capital will be.” He added that he disagreed with the way that President Donald Trump had moved the embassy in 2017-2018, saying “there is usually a process to these things rather than what seems like an overnight, one-sided, partisan move.”

In response, CAIR sent a letter to Garcetti on Sunday demanding that he retract his statement and that he apologize.

The following is satirical.

Democrats continue to toy with the idea of impeaching Donald Trump. On the one hand, it seems easier than trying to defeat him in an election. But on the other hand, there could be a lot of paper work involved plus they’d have to find a place to park near the Capitol building.

Congressman Jerry Nadler was interviewed while hiding under a bridge in hopes of devouring one of the three billy goats Gruff and he said, “We have fallen into a terrible imaginary crisis while voters just stand around apathetically admiring their new jobs or their new cars or the fact that they can now feed their families. We need to make these people understand how hysterical I am or else we can’t even begin to tear this country apart over nothing.”

Congressman Adam Schiff stood on the Capitol steps waving a sealed envelope and telling reporters, “I have in this envelope absolute proof that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, and if he didn’t collude with the Russians he obstructed justice and if he didn’t obstruct justice he said racists were fine people and if he didn’t say racists were fine people then why I am standing here waving this envelope?”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains uncertain on the matter of impeachment, and in a statement made to the statue of Sacagawea in the Capital rotunda, said, “The questions we have to answer as a nation are ‘Where am I?’ and ‘Why is there a lipstick stain on my forehead?’ Because before we can move forward with a matter as important as impeaching George W. Bush, I need to know why I locked myself in the broom closet last week, and if not then, when?”

President Trump meanwhile has introduced a proposal to revamp the current immigration system, but Democrats say that’s just a cynical ploy to try to distract voters from the matter of impeachment by solving the nation’s problems.
