How will this play? Isn\u2019t this a political firestorm waiting, if masks are asked to come back?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Deutsch replied that it will be easier to shape mass behavior now that the American public has gotten used to taking orders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it was a lot harder the first time around \u2026 creating new behavior versus returning to, kind of, behavior we\u2019ve already been through,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NqpEDcK2D1w?t=2046\">said<\/a>. \u201cSo look, whether it\u2019s a mandated mask, a mandated&nbsp;vaccine is, at this point, there is a percentage of the population that \u2014 who cares whether they\u2019re angry or upset about it? There\u2019s 330 million people in this country. We need to protect ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m done worrying about what people think. I\u2019m done worrying about, \u2018Is there going to be a firestorm?\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a mandated mask or&nbsp;a mandated&nbsp;vaccine, there\u2019s an idiot percentage of this population that just needs to be told what to do. And guess what? You don\u2019t have a choice. Too bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=NqpEDcK2D1w&#038;start=2046&#038;feature=oembed\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=NqpEDcK2D1w&amp;start=2046&amp;feature=oembed<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>Deutsch has long expressed his disinterest in persuading others and his preference for direct, and potentially volatile, action. He called for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-msnbc-so-concerned-about-american-democracy-ryan-saavedra\">a revolution<\/a>\u201d in 2018 after Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)&nbsp;released a memo detailing that the Obama administration used paid opposition research to obtain a FISA warrant and spy on the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. \u201cOur democracy is under siege. People need to start taking to the streets,\u201d he told \u201cDeadline: White House\u201d host Nicolle Wallace. But the problem was Nunes and Trump, not the Obama administration\u2019s abuse of secretive courts to conduct surveillance against a rival political candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a dictator. This is not something to analyze anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople, we need a revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mika Brzezinski, for her part, blamed the Delta variant on conservatives, saying Friday:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21\">\n<p><em>People who are unvaccinated, and are followers of Donald Trump, and followers of these Republicans, and followers of Fox News, and followers of Newsmax, and followers of right-wing garbage on Facebook are the ones who have chosen to believe the conspiracy theories and the bad information out there, and they are the ones going to the hospital and dying of COVID, and spreading it around the country, and keeping our country from being able to move forward, out of mask-wearing, out of all these things that restrain your rights and that you think the Democrats are so stupid to be supporting, which is supporting facts. Yes, Democrats like facts. And some Republicans do, too.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Deutsch told Brzezinski that the public message to the unvaccinated should be that they have blood on their hands. \u201cThere\u2019s no grace here. There\u2019s no two sides to this argument,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Deutsch has regularly insulted the intellect or integrity of his political opponents. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2020\/08\/14\/donny_deutsch_one_in_three_americans_are_racists_for_trusting_trump.html\">rant<\/a> on \u201cMorning Joe\u201d last year, Deutsch said that President Donald Trump\u2019s popularity could only be explained by the fact that \u201cone in three Americans are racists.\u201d In 2018, he compared all Trump voters to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/prager-donny-deutsch-michael-hayden-and-moral-dennis-prager\">Nazis<\/a>. Deutsch\u2019s disdain for conservatives echoes that of the broader media. As far back as February 1993, The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/politics\/1993\/02\/01\/energized-by-pulpit-or-passion-the-public-is-calling\/f747ded3-b7c5-4578-ad3b-2f500dbaeacf\/\">wrote<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/it-is-a-moral-freak-show-msnbc-says-evangelical-movement-is-anti-intellectual-anti-science-moral-freak-show\">evangelical Christians<\/a> \u201care largely poor, uneducated and easy to command.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That shared condescension toward traditional Americans may partially explain why Deutsch continues to be given major media opportunities. Aside from his role as a regular guest on MSNBC, Deutsch has anchored several cable news talk shows, including CNBC\u2019s \u201cThe Big Idea with Donny Deutsch,\u201d MSNBC\u2019s \u201cSaturday Night Politics with Donny Deutsch,\u201d and Bloomberg\u2019s \u201cWith All Due Respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His CNN show, \u201c(Get to) The Point,\u201d was canceled after just one week for low ratings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-msnbc-so-concerned-about-american-democracy-ryan-saavedra\">WATCH: Radical MSNBC Guest Says \u2018People Need To Start Taking To The Streets\u2019 For A&nbsp;\u2018Revolution\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
