00:02:13.000I'm talking about politically divided.
00:02:15.000I mean, we have rarely been politically divided the way that we are politically divided today.
00:02:18.000According to the New York Times, right now is the first time in more than a century that all but one state legislature is dominated by a single party.
00:02:29.000And that means that 49 of them have a legislature that is not split.
00:02:33.000Which is an incredible, incredible number.
00:02:36.000Most legislative sessions have ended or are scheduled to end in a matter of days in capitals across the nation.
00:02:40.000Republican-held states have rushed forward with conservative agendas.
00:02:43.000Those controlled by Democrats have pushed through liberal agendas.
00:02:47.000Single party control is not exactly easing the tone of political discourse, specifically because everybody also wants the federal government to control everything.
00:02:56.000It's one thing to have states that are Republican and states that are Democrat and they basically leave each other alone, but that is not the way our modern media culture works.
00:03:03.000If Alabama passes an abortion law, then the wonderful, ethical bettors in California decide they can't do business in Alabama anymore and declare that the federal government must be involved.
00:03:14.000The fact that federalism was designed specifically so that states can have different opinions on important issues, this seems to have bypassed everybody's perspective at this point.
00:03:23.000In Oregon, where Democrats control state government, Republicans boycotted sessions for several days over disagreements about taxes and gun control.
00:03:29.000In Tennessee, where Republicans are in charge, Democrats staged a walkout during a heated and chaotic budget debate, and Republicans ordered the police to go find them.
00:03:36.000In New York, the state legislature has passed several laws that had been blocked in previous years by Republicans, who lost control of the Senate earlier this year after a decade in power.
00:03:44.000Those measures included a law extending the period of time for victims of childhood sexual abuse to file lawsuits, and several others restricting the use of firearms.
00:03:52.000And in Colorado, where Democrats dominate the Capitol, Republicans were so upset about the stream of new laws being passed, they demanded each bill be read aloud to slow the pace.
00:04:00.000Democrats responded by having five computers simultaneously read bills.
00:04:04.000The computers were able to whip through hundreds of pages and minutes.
00:04:08.000Colorado Republicans sued and won in court.
00:04:11.000Democrats then went on to pass legislation, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a reinsurance program to lower health care costs.
00:04:19.000So things have gotten incredibly, incredibly Divisive?
00:04:24.000Basically, the states along the coast, particularly the Northeast, have Democratic control and the states along the West Coast, Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, those states have solid Democrat control and every other place is solid Republican control.
00:04:39.000The only, literally the only legislative control that is split in America is Minnesota.
00:04:47.000That's the first time since 1914 that that has happened.
00:04:50.000So the reason that I say this is because this is going to be reflected in our national election.
00:04:54.000There's a feeling on the left that if Republicans win, then Republicans will exert their control and assert that control and take a dominant political position in America.
00:05:03.000Now, the fact is that that is not exactly I mean, from a federal level, what Republicans have done basically is lower the amount of regulation on business, they've passed a tax cut, and they've put into place some judges who generally are disposed to leave legislatures to their own devices.
00:05:18.000Originalists tend to be a lot more friendly to the legislative branch exercising its powers than folks on the left are.
00:05:25.000The fact is, when conservatives are in control, states have more power.
00:05:27.000But Democrats in states across the country actually believe that the federal government should be in control of everything.
00:05:33.000And so they are seeking to seize control of the commanding heights of the government and then use it against conservatives across the country.
00:05:39.000So against this backdrop, we have what is sure to be an insanely divisive presidential election.
00:05:45.000And the numbers right now show bad polling for President Trump, unfortunately.
00:05:54.000The only thing about the polls that is certain is that President Trump is highly unlikely to break 50% in a national election, which means that he's going to have to hope that a Democrat dramatically underperforms the way that Hillary Clinton dramatically underperformed in 2016.
00:06:08.000Even then, she won the popular vote by two and a half million votes.
00:06:11.000So Democrats are going to have to dramatically underperform, and Trump might even need a third party candidate, because the fact is that according to the latest polls, Trump is stuck somewhere between 40 and 42%.
00:06:23.000Apparently President Trump is fulminating over the polls.
00:06:25.000According to the New York Times, they say that President Trump is basically instructing his aides to fib about poll numbers.
00:06:33.000Quinnipiac University conducted national head-to-head polls matching up Trump and some of the leading Democratic presidential hopefuls.
00:06:38.000None of the matchups are particularly good for President Trump.
00:06:42.000He holds a he's behind all six of the Democrats who are polled between five and 13 points.
00:06:49.000Joe Biden up 53 to 40 on him in this national poll.
00:06:55.000Even Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg are up on him, 47 to 42.
00:07:00.000There's some limited head-to-head polling that we've seen in some key early states, as the Washington Post reports.
00:07:04.000Trump trails by as much as double digits in both Michigan and Pennsylvania.
00:07:08.000There's one poll, a Q poll, that had him trailing Biden in Texas, even, by four points.
00:07:13.000All of this, of course, dependent on the economy remaining strong.
00:07:17.000If the economy were to take a dump, then President Trump is in serious, serious trouble, of course.
00:07:23.000The New York Times is reporting that President Trump is quite upset with these poll numbers, despite his sort of outward Antipathy for poll numbers.
00:07:30.000According to the New York Times, late at night using his old personal cell phone number, President Trump has been calling former advisors who he has not heard from in years, eager to discuss his standing in the polls against the top Democrats in the field, specifically Joe Biden, whom he describes in those conversations as too old and not as popular as people think.
00:07:45.000Now, I think that those critiques are probably half right.
00:07:48.000The fact is that Joe Biden will be 97,000 years old, actually, come election day.
00:07:57.000And President Trump does have significantly more energy than Biden does on the campaign trail.
00:08:01.000Nonetheless, Trump is obviously perturbed by the polls, according to this reporting.
00:08:05.000After being briefed on a devastating 17-state poll conducted by his own campaign pollster, Tony Fabrizio, Trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Mr. Biden in many of the states he needed to win, even though he's also trailing in public polls from key states like Texas, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
00:08:27.000And being good at branding yourself very often involves fibbing about your brand, which President Trump has been known to do from time to time.
00:08:37.000But apparently Trump is instructing his aides to say publicly that there's other data that is showing him doing well.
00:08:43.000The fact is that whatever public data there is, is not looking particularly great at this point.
00:08:49.000Trump's own campaign pollster, according to Political Wire, wrote a memo about expanding the map to give President Trump more options for getting to 270 electoral votes.
00:08:58.000Fabrizio says that New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Nevada, which are all states that Trump lost in 2016, are highly competitive.
00:09:05.000He says that Minnesota is also highly competitive.
00:09:07.000But this sounds a lot like Democrats who in 2016 were ignoring Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in favor of exactly those same states.
00:09:15.000The fact is that if Hillary Clinton had to campaign in Michigan in the late days of the election, she was in serious trouble.
00:09:21.000If President Trump is spending the late days of the election campaigning in New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, and Minnesota, that is not a good sign.
00:09:29.000Oregon, of course, if the idea is that he's going to be campaigning in Oregon, my goodness, that is not going to be good news.
00:09:37.000The fact is that his own internal pollsters are apparently saying, That he is lagging behind in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
00:09:45.000That those are states that are difficult to win.
00:09:48.000And when people talk about expanding the map, usually what that means is they're not able to hold the map that they need to hold.
00:09:53.000Oregon is so blue it hasn't voted for a Republican for president since 1984.
00:09:56.000CNN has obtained that memo from Fabrizio about ideas for expanding the map.
00:10:02.000A senior Trump campaign source tells CNN they are considering hiring staff to test the waters in Oregon after hearing from Fabrizio and talking to the National Republican Congressional Committee counterparts.
00:10:13.000The Trump campaign is not under an illusion that Oregon is winnable at this point, but they know that retaking states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, even Iowa, where Trump has been lagging, those are not exactly sure bets.
00:10:26.000OK, so they're not obviously giving up on these states, nor should they.
00:10:32.000But none of these poll numbers are particularly good for the president leading up to this.
00:10:36.000Now, meanwhile, inside the Democratic Party, Joe Biden continues to maintain a very large lead in most of these polls.
00:10:42.000There's a morning consult poll from yesterday that shows Biden up at 37 percent.
00:10:46.000Now, that poll's a bit of an outlier because Biden, in many other polls, has been lagging closer to 30 percent, even dropping in a couple of polls below 30 percent.
00:10:54.000According to this morning consul poll, it's Biden 37, Bernie Sanders at 19, Elizabeth Warren at 11, and Buttigieg at 7.
00:11:10.000And Spartacus Cory Booker, also lagging way down there.
00:11:13.000There is a poll that is out that is very bad for Bernie Sanders.
00:11:16.000I'll give you the numbers on that poll in just a second.
00:11:19.000First, let's talk about making your business better.
00:11:21.000So, here at The Daily Wire, when we have an employee who is doing a bad job, there's one thing that we do before we do anything else.
00:11:27.000We throw up a job description on ZipRecruiter.
00:11:30.000This is not a reference to any of you guys.
00:11:31.000You know, the people working on the show.
00:11:33.000But if it were, what we would be doing is going to ZipRecruiter.com right now and putting up a job listing, because job listings are what ZipRecruiter does.

00:12:30.000According to a new Democratic poll from The Economist and YouGov, Bernie Sanders has actually now fallen behind Elizabeth Warren.
00:12:37.000Which is the only poll that I have seen that actually drops Sanders behind Warren.
00:12:40.000There may be one other where they're basically even, but this is the only one I've seen where Sanders has dropped all the way behind Elizabeth Warren.
00:12:47.000This poll has Joe Biden at a very low 26% and Elizabeth Warren all the way up to 16%.
00:12:52.000There's no question that Elizabeth Warren is experiencing a bit of a boomlet that is largely driven by media coverage that keeps talking about how many wonderful ideas Elizabeth Warren has.
00:13:00.000They keep saying that her campaign slogan is, she's got a plan for that.
00:13:29.000Anybody who says Elizabeth Warren is charismatic, I have serious doubts as to your judgment of both character and charisma.
00:13:35.000But nonetheless, because of the media coverage, Elizabeth Warren is picking up ground, and Bernie Sanders is feeling stodgy.
00:13:41.000He's feeling a little old at this point.
00:13:43.000It feels as though the Bernie Sanders phenomenon has run its course a little bit, so Elizabeth Warren is picking up ground in those polls.
00:13:50.000Right now, if you're Joe Biden, the big threat is that Bernie Sanders starts to bleed support to Elizabeth Warren, and suddenly Elizabeth Warren is riding up there in the mid-twenties and, for example, takes Iowa.
00:14:01.000And New Hampshire, of course, is right next door to Massachusetts, so presumably she would do well in New Hampshire as well.
00:14:10.000So Joe Biden is finally having to get out there on the campaign trail and work, which is the first time we've seen this with Joe Biden before.
00:14:17.000Joe Biden has really not had to do any work at this point.
00:14:20.000He's basically attempted to avoid the limelight because he figures that all the other Democrats are going to club each other to death and he's going to stand over there to the side and grin at them.
00:14:29.000He's like Cersei Lannister, sort of sitting over there drinking and watching everybody else kill themselves up in the north.
00:14:35.000That's been his plan, but I think that that plan is beginning to break down.
00:14:38.000And so Joe Biden finally has to go out on the campaign trail.
00:14:43.000Joe Biden has a record that is Barack Obama's record, and Joe Biden has a record that is Joe Biden's record.
00:14:48.000So if you look at Joe Biden, not at Donald Trump, not Elizabeth Warren, not at the alternatives, but if you look directly at Joe Biden, dude's a weak candidate.
00:14:56.000He's been a weak candidate every time he's run for president, which is why he's done so three times and he's never made any headway.
00:15:01.000So that means that his focus, when he goes out on the campaign trail, has to be on President Trump.
00:15:06.000Good news for him is that for Democrats, their passionate hatred for President Trump means that he'll be speaking to them in exactly the sort of language they want to hear.
00:15:15.000However, all the other Democrats will too.
00:15:17.000As I've said, I've said this all along, I think that Joe Biden's campaign is a slow bleed.
00:15:21.000I don't see him consolidating support over the course of this campaign because I don't see a lot of people dropping out and people shifting their votes to Biden.
00:15:28.000I think there are a lot of people who are going to shift their votes from other candidates to Elizabeth Warren or shift their votes from Pete Buttigieg to Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris or something like that.
00:15:37.000Okay, so Joe Biden goes out on the campaign trail in Iowa and he has to be as extreme as humanly possible about President Trump.
00:15:45.000So his entire campaign thus far has been gaffes and saying mean things about Trump.
00:16:25.000When he was asked to comment on it, he said, quote, there were very fine people in both groups.
00:16:33.000No president of the United States, Democrat or Republican, has ever, ever, ever said something like that. - He's looking real heavy on Charlottesville.
00:16:41.000That stuff is baked into the cake at this point.
00:16:43.000I criticized President Trump extraordinarily heavily on Charlottesville, and he deserved it.
00:16:49.000But if the idea is that President Trump is embracing white supremacists, he specifically did condemn white supremacists, He then made the bizarre statement that there were good people, very fine people on both sides, implying there are people who are marching who are not white supremacists about the Robert E. Lee monument.
00:17:04.000There's been no evidence that those people exist.
00:17:07.000But with that said, literally an existential threat to the country?
00:17:11.000Now, I understand this is Biden's pitch.
00:17:12.000Biden's pitch is Donald Trump is so scary on a personal level.
00:17:16.000He's so terrible on a personal level that you should vote for me because I'm old Joe and I'm standing right here.
00:17:23.000I'm standing right here just being Joe Biden.
00:17:45.000Now, here is the problem for Joe Biden when it comes to his President Trump is rough on farmers routine.
00:17:50.000The problem is that in states like Iowa that have a lot of folks who do not share Joe Biden's political values, A lot of those folks are not going to shift over to Joe Biden simply because Joe Biden tells them that that President Trump has been hurting them on trade.
00:18:03.000Now, again, I think it's a huge mistake that President Trump has been engaging in these tariff battles.
00:18:09.000They do disproportionately harm his potential voting base.
00:18:12.000So what Joe Biden says here, this particular line of attack actually does have some merit.
00:18:18.000If he's going to win votes in Ohio and in Michigan and in Pennsylvania, going after Trump on tariffs is actually not a bad way to do it.
00:18:24.000Here's Joe Biden attacking Trump on policy.
00:18:29.000President Trump is in Iowa today, and I hope his presence here will be a clarifying event, because Iowa farmers have been crushed by his tariff war with China, and no one knows better than the folks in Iowa.
00:19:53.000I mean, that's like me after I've had seven Valium, guys.
00:19:56.000I almost have to be comatose to have that low level of energy.
00:20:01.000And that will tell in a presidential campaign.
00:20:04.000Then Biden goes back to his original pitch.
00:20:06.000His original pitch, of course, is not that Trump is bad on policy because the economy is really good, because we don't have any existential crises on the foreign level.
00:20:13.000Instead, he goes back to his original pitch, which is that Trump is a very, very bad, mean, very bad man.
00:20:18.000He says that President Trump inspires thugs around the world.
00:20:21.000Now, here's the problem with this particular pitch for Joe Biden, and this is where you get back into every critique that he makes of President Trump, other than the specific volatility of Trump's personality, can be turned around back on Joe Biden, because Joe Biden does have a long record.
00:20:34.000When Biden says that Trump inspires thugs around the world, just keep in mind, Iran, Vladimir Putin, China, thugs around the world found the Obama administration to be their best friend.
00:20:46.000They found the Obama administration to be exorbitantly kind.
00:20:50.000Bashar Assad is still in power because of Barack Obama.
00:20:53.000The fact is that thugs around the world slept easily at night knowing that Joe Biden was vice president of the United States.
00:20:58.000How do you think they'll sleep at night knowing that Joe Biden is president of the United States?
00:21:03.000I've criticized President Trump when it comes to his kid-glove treatment of Kim Jong-un, one of the worst people on planet Earth.
00:21:07.000I've criticized President Trump heavily when it came to his ridiculous, asinine, and disgusting statements that the United States has acted similarly to Vladimir Putin.
00:21:17.000But if we are talking about folks who have coddled dictators in terms of policy, there is no comparison between the Obama administration and the Trump administration.
00:21:24.000So if the idea here is that Trump inspires thugs around the world, Thugs everywhere were waking up knowing that they lived easier because Barack Obama was president of the United States.
00:21:34.000Here's Joe Biden, though, trying to make the counter case.
00:21:36.000The news media, all of them back there, they're all fake news, he says.
00:21:40.000No, everybody thinks that's kind of, you know, it doesn't mean much.
00:21:44.000But look at the people copying his ways all around the world, whether it's Orban in Hungary, whether it's in the Philippines.
00:21:51.000There are thugs all over the world using the same kinds of language he's using now.
00:22:02.000You don't have to like Viktor Orban, by the way, the head of Hungary, but he is the democratically elected leader of Hungary.
00:22:09.000And you weren't flying 150 billion dollars in cash to him, you were flying 150 billion dollars in cash, or 100 million dollars in cash, whatever it was, a billion dollars in cash, I'm trying to remember the exact amount.
00:22:18.000You were flying pallets of cash over to the Iranian regime.
00:22:23.000So spare me the crocodile tears about President Trump inspiring dictators around the world, Joe Biden.
00:22:28.000We'll get to Joe Biden's most extreme pitch in just one second.
00:22:31.000Again, I do not think that this campaign is going to last the test of the Democratic primaries.
00:22:59.000But the fact is that everybody wants your data.
00:23:01.000Stealing data from unsuspecting people on public Wi-Fi is one of the simplest and cheapest ways for hackers to make money.
00:23:06.000When you leave your internet connection unencrypted, You may as well be writing your passwords and credit card numbers on a giant billboard for the rest of the world to see.
00:23:13.000Which is why I've decided to take action.
00:23:14.000To protect myself from cybercriminals, I use ExpressVPN.

00:24:04.000He has never said anything that he would affirmatively do.
00:24:07.000His speech last night mentioned President Trump by name some 76 times.
00:24:11.000His entire angle is, don't talk about me, talk about that guy.
00:24:15.000Which isn't a terrible political angle in a very polarized political time, but It also leaves him open to the Elizabeth Warrens of the world who have a plan.
00:24:24.000Because can anyone explain why Joe Biden is running other than he doesn't want Donald Trump to be president?
00:24:29.000He sort of suffers from the Hillary Clinton problem.
00:24:30.000So Hillary Clinton kept running and running and running because she felt that the world owed it to her.
00:24:35.000This is why she had a video in the middle of the campaign in which she said that she couldn't believe she wasn't beating Donald Trump by double digits.
00:24:42.000The real reason that people didn't like Hillary Clinton is that people don't like candidates whom they do not understand the rationale for.
00:24:50.000If you see a candidate and you ask that candidate, why are you running?
00:25:45.000Still, the notion that we are five minutes away from a cure to cancer so long as the federal government spends a lot of money on it is just a bunch of crap.
00:25:52.000The fact is that researchers all over the planet are expending billions of dollars on cancer research today.
00:25:58.000The problem is not that they have insufficient funding.
00:26:02.000Again, I'm not saying that we shouldn't fund cancer research, although I wonder whether there actually is the constitutional authority to fund a lot of the things that we all find good.
00:26:11.000But with that said, when Joe Biden says what he's about to say here, you have to just shake your head.
00:26:15.000Because what he's about to say is that if he is elected, cancer will be cured by the time he leaves office.
00:26:21.000That is not a thing that Joe Biden can guarantee.
00:26:24.000Also, if Joe Biden has a cure to cancer in his back pocket, maybe he should, you know, hand that over.
00:26:29.000I don't know why he'd hold the cure to cancer hostage here based on his presidency.
00:26:33.000So this is a very bizarre pitch by Vice President Joe Biden.
00:26:38.000When loss occurs, you know that, you know, people come up to you and tell you, I understand if you lose a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a family member, and lots of times you feel like saying, you know, they say, I know how you feel, and if they hadn't, you'd look at them, you know they mean well, but you say, you have no idea how I feel.
00:26:59.000But when it happens to you, you know, I promise you if I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes America is we're going to cure cancer.
00:27:24.000When President Trump went to Iowa during the primaries in 2016, and he said to all of the farmers that he would expend enormous sums of cash on ethanol, and Ted Cruz at the same time went in there and said, we're not spending any cash on ethanol.
00:28:44.000He walks through, the reporters are standing there, and Trump sees a camera, and like a moth to the flame, he just moves on over to that flame.
00:28:52.000And he is asked about Joe Biden, and President Trump does what President Trump does.
00:30:01.000When you have members of your family, one of the things that tells you whether you like somebody or not, when there are members of your family, you know where all of the kind of holes in their armor is and you deliberately avoid those because you don't want to be mean to the person.
00:30:10.000President Trump has no such compunction when it comes to politics.
00:30:13.000If there is a way for him to stick the knife in, he will stick that knife in.
00:31:03.000Refinancing those student loans could save you thousands of bucks.
00:31:06.000Lowering your interest rate or choosing one of SoFi's flexible terms could help you save those thousands.
00:31:10.000When you refi your student loans with SoFi, You also get access to SoFi membership, giving you access to exclusive benefits to help you get ahead with money, life, and career.
00:31:19.000So, go lock in a fixed low rate today at SoFi.com slash Ben.
00:31:37.000Okay, we're gonna get to the rest of President Trump's pitch in Iowa.
00:31:41.000Democrats crying wolf at every opportunity.
00:31:44.000We'll get to all that in just a second.
00:31:45.000First, you have to go subscribe over at dailywire.com.

00:32:06.000We have a daily wire backstage later today, which means you get to hang out with me for like nine hours today.
00:32:27.000You should also subscribe because, as I've been saying for weeks now, if you actually want to protect shows that you love from the vicissitudes of the evil left, Which is coming after shows to destroy them, to de-platform them, to go after their advertisers.
00:32:38.000You really should subscribe and become part of the team.
00:32:40.000It really means a lot to us on, means a lot to me on a personal level.
00:33:02.000So President Trump in Iowa, his weakness in Iowa is not going after Biden.
00:33:15.000Going after Biden, President Trump is an expert at.
00:33:18.000His weakness in Iowa, as it is in many of these other states, I've been saying this for weeks, if you want to see Trump re-elected, his tariff wars are very bad for the economy and they specifically harm a lot of people in the areas that he needs to win.
00:33:35.000If you are using inputs from foreign industries in your product, as they do in Michigan, it's going to hurt you when we tariff that.
00:33:41.000If China raises its tariffs on soybeans, that's going to hurt a lot of farmers in Iowa.
00:33:45.000That's just the way that all of this works.
00:33:47.000So President Trump goes to Iowa and he's on the defensive.
00:33:50.000And so he has to defend his trade platform.
00:33:52.000So here is President Trump yesterday in Iowa saying that he pledged to fight for farmers and he has done so.
00:33:58.000As a candidate for president, I pledge to support our ethanol industry and to fight for the American farmer like no president has ever fought before.
00:34:14.000OK, well, that may be true that we are winning the fights, but we are going to have to see the results of those fights.
00:34:20.000The Mexican tariff battle, if he got a win out of that, still sort of unclear, then that is a win.
00:34:25.000The Chinese trade war, he's going to have to make a strong, forcible case why that needs to happen or what a win looks like.
00:34:31.000Or he is in serious danger of basically being blamed by everybody who is damaged by the tariffs.
00:34:36.000If you want people to make sacrifices, you have to explain why they are making the sacrifices.
00:34:40.000So here's Trump trying to explain that.
00:34:41.000He says we're reversing decades of failed trade policies.
00:34:45.000We're reversing decades of failed trade policies, opening up new markets and fighting to give our farmers the fair and level playing field they deserve.
00:34:54.000You never had a fair playing field for the last 15 to 20 years.
00:34:58.000You were taken advantage of by stupidity, by incompetence, by people that don't care.
00:35:14.000Okay, well, the problem is a lot of these farmers do see what's happening, and what they are seeing happening is trade barriers go up on the other side of the Pacific, with the Chinese government now preventing the importation of tremendous amounts of American agriculture.
00:35:25.000So, that pitch is only going to go so far.
00:35:30.000If he can achieve his goals, if he gets the Chinese to lower those trade barriers, then good.
00:35:34.000And this is where Trump's final pitch comes in on the trade issue.
00:35:37.000He says, we're knocking down the barriers to the products grown in the United States.
00:35:40.000If he achieves that, then yes, that will be a win for Iowa.
00:35:43.000If he does not achieve that, then he's got a problem.
00:35:45.000My administration is knocking down barriers to products made, grown and raised in the USA, not only on the farm, but all over.
00:35:54.000Just recently reached an agreement to eliminate restrictions and expand exports of American beef, you saw that, to Japan by up to $200 million a year.
00:37:26.000Elizabeth Warren, who's picking up all sorts of support in the Democratic Party, was asked to explain why she's not a quote-unquote democratic socialist.
00:37:33.000Now, democratic socialist has a couple of different descriptions.
00:37:37.000One is actual socialism, as in like Venezuelan, USSR, Cuban socialism.
00:37:41.000The other is Free markets, but a lot of redistributionism.
00:37:47.000Now, Elizabeth Warren has run away from the label because she doesn't really like the label Democratic Socialist because she feels like if she caves to it, then she's in Bernie Sanders territory.
00:37:55.000But here she is struggling to explain why she is not that.
00:37:58.000You're a capitalist at a time when Democratic Socialists have become popular.
00:38:03.000What is the difference between you and the Democratic Socialists?
00:38:17.000Well, where's her plan for that question?
00:38:19.000So she doesn't know because she is basically just parroting Bernie Sanders.
00:38:24.000And then you have Kirsten Gillibrand, who, as I said yesterday on the radio show, the problem with Kirsten Gillibrand is that she's basically Vincent D'Onofrio from Men in Black.
00:38:33.000Vincent D'Onofrio, that character from Men in Black, do you remember this?
00:38:35.000He's an alien, he comes down from space, he lands, and then he kills a farmer and takes over his body.
00:38:41.000He wears the farmer's body like a skin suit.
00:38:44.000Kirsten Gillibrand is that in politics.
00:38:46.000She's mimicking a politician, but she's not actually a good politician, so the skin wears weird.
00:38:57.000So, here's Kirsten Gillibrand saying what she thinks Democrats want to hear in the most awkward possible way because she thinks she has to run to the radical left.
00:39:04.000I think there's some issues that have such moral clarity that we have as a society decided that the other side is not acceptable.
00:39:13.000Imagine saying that it's okay to appoint a judge who's racist or anti-semitic or homophobic.
00:39:20.000For all of these issues, they are not issues that there is a fair other side.
00:39:26.000There is no moral equivalency when you come to racism.
00:39:31.000And I do not believe there's a moral equivalency when it comes to changing laws that deny women reproductive freedom.
00:39:36.000What in the actual hell is she talking about?
00:39:38.000So she is now comparing being a pro-life to being an actual racist who wants to appoint racists to the bench.
00:39:43.000This is where she thinks the Democratic Party is.
00:39:46.000Now, I said in 2016 that President Trump spoke conservatism as a second language, meaning he wasn't all that familiar with it.
00:39:51.000And so it led him into these weird sort of cul-de-sacs of thought.
00:39:55.000So there was that point in the campaign in 2016 where he said he wanted to prosecute women for abortion because he thought that's what pro-lifers wanted to hear.
00:40:01.000That's Kirsten Gillibrand with the left.
00:40:02.000She thinks that the left believes that abortion is on par with anti-racism.
00:40:15.000Their real attack has to be against President Trump and his character.
00:40:19.000It has to be on the basis that they are in moderate and non scary, but they can't stop themselves from being scary.
00:40:24.000Now, speaking of Democrats being unable to stop themselves from being scary, the situation on the border continues to simply metastasize.
00:40:33.000President Trump has requested border funding.
00:40:35.000Democrats keep turning down that border funding and then complaining about the results.
00:40:38.000Dick Durbin, senator from Illinois, has been stalwart and staunch in his unwillingness to provide ICE with the resources that ICE actually requires and that DHS actually requires in order to solidify that border.
00:40:50.000Here's Dick Durbin then complaining about the results of his own failed policies.
00:40:54.000We cannot face this crisis effectively with a revolving door policy in the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:41:03.000In fact, every position at DHS with responsibility for immigration or border security is now being held by a temporary appointee who has not been confirmed by the Senate.
00:41:14.000The White House has not even submitted nominations for these positions.
00:41:18.000Despite all of President Trump's tough talk and meanness, our southern border today, by every measurable standard, is much less secure than when he took office.
00:41:28.000Okay, so if Dick Durbin's critique is that Trump isn't staffing up fast enough at the top levels of DHS, which is a dumb critique, if you actually want to know why the border is not secure, it's because you won't fund beds for people at the border.
00:41:40.000It's because you will not fund Border Patrol.
00:41:44.000For weeks, President Trump's request for billions in funding to manage the migration surge at the U.S.-Mexico border has been ignored by Congress.
00:41:51.000Democrats who control the House have been struggling to reconcile their own internal divisions over the spending request, as some in the party question whether the situation on the southern border is as dire as portrayed by the administration.
00:42:03.000This has led to a lack of urgency on Capitol Hill to address a problem leaders in both parties agree is worsening and raising the prospect that the funding request could languish.
00:42:12.000Congress failed to approve a similar proposal by Barack Obama in 2014, but lawmakers in both parties seem less focused on the issue, even though the number of migrants being apprehended at the border is far higher than it was even five years ago.
00:42:24.000Not until Tuesday was there some apparent progress in Congress, where Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that the Appropriations Committee would begin working on the $4.5 billion package next week.
00:42:33.000Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus met privately to discuss what language they could accept as part of the administration's spending request, but it is unclear whether any border package endorsed by Democrats will pass muster with the Trump administration, which has repeatedly asked Congress for legal changes to expand detention capacities and tighten asylum policy, but has been rebuffed.
00:42:50.000Democrats want to leave this border open.
00:42:53.000This is an area where I really believe that most Americans agree.
00:42:58.000We want people who cross the border not to be released into the interior before they have been held for some sort of asylum hearing.
00:43:05.000We are not interested in giving everybody green cards who crosses the border illegally.
00:43:08.000I do not think these are particularly controversial issues.
00:43:11.000The fact that Democrats keep making them controversial and then suggesting that it is the fault of the Trump administration that folks are being held in supposedly inhumane conditions on the border.
00:43:20.000You guys are the ones who aren't funding this.
00:43:22.000You guys are the ones who are holding up the funding.
00:43:25.000Instead, Democrats are focused in on trying to humiliate the administration as opposed to actually solving the problems for the American people.
00:43:31.000So they bring in the head of the Border Patrol, Kevin McAleenan, and they ask him whether Trump told him to violate the law.
00:43:39.000Here's Amy Klobuchar, who, is she still running for president?
00:43:55.000No one has asked me to do anything illegal.
00:43:57.000Is the President instructing subordinates to violate the law and promising to shield them from legal consequences by pardoning them, consistent with his oath of office and the requirement in the Constitution that he take care that the laws be faithfully executed?
00:44:10.000I've never been asked to do anything unlawful, nor would I.
00:44:13.000Democrats are putting all of their focus into tearing down President Trump and none of their focus into actually solving the problems of the country.
00:44:19.000You know, President Trump now can campaign against a do-nothing Congress.
00:44:22.000Frankly, I'm shocked that he hasn't done so already.
00:44:25.000Harry Truman in 1948, when he was running against Thomas Dewey, was running a really uphill campaign.
00:44:31.000He said, this Republican Congress won't give me what I want.
00:44:34.000He ended up winning a very narrow election victory over Thomas Dewey.
00:44:36.000This would be a time for President Trump to look at Congress and say, listen, We all know what's going on at the border.
00:44:42.000You know what's going on at the border, and you won't give me the resources necessary.
00:44:45.000And it is obvious what Democrats are doing.
00:44:47.000Senator Robert Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey, said, quote, I think that the president, in his actions and in his words, creates an overdramatization that then leads people to think, well, this isn't as significant because he's just throwing out red meat to his base.
00:44:59.000The other thing is, I think there would have been action already had there been reasonable requests and, you know, a willingness to constrain themselves.
00:45:05.000I have yet to hear a counterproposal from the Democrats that does anything like lock up the border.
00:45:10.000Congressional negotiators came close to reaching a deal on the administration's border spending request in time to attach it to a broader disaster aid bill that passed last month but ran out of time.
00:45:18.000Submitted to Congress on May 1st, the Trump administration's spending request included $3.3 billion for humanitarian assistance and $1.1 billion for border operations.
00:45:27.000But since then, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who want to ensure that the money would go toward genuine humanitarian purposes and not to increase detention of asylum seekers or fund for-profit detention facilities, Well, what exactly would that look like?
00:45:42.000So in other words, you have an actual sector of Congress that wants people released into the interior as opposed to keeping people detained.
00:45:49.000All of this could get changed with a simple law from Congress.
00:45:52.000The Flores Settlement, that ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that says that you have to release people, that could be overturned by a simple act of Congress.
00:45:59.000Democrats don't want to do any of this stuff because Democrats prefer for this to be a political hot-button issue.
00:46:03.000There's a lot of talk about Republicans not wanting to solve the immigration problem because it's a political hot-button.
00:46:17.000Because they prefer that immigration and illegal immigration remain a festering problem in the United States so that they can then condemn Republicans as heartless and evil and nasty.
00:46:28.000Many of the Democratic members of Congress are still trying to downplay the situation at the border.
00:46:32.000Representative Juan Vargas of California says there's definitely an uptick.
00:47:03.000As I say, my wife and I have been watching a spate of screwball comedies.
00:47:06.000The best of these screwball comedies is a movie called The Awful Truth with Cary Grant and the insanely talented Irene Dunn, who really could do anything.
00:47:13.000One of the great underrated actresses in Hollywood history.
00:48:55.000So there's this Netflix series that has come out called When They See Us, and it's about the Central Park joggers, the Central Park jogger and the Central Park Five.
00:49:03.000So this has long been a hot point of contention in New York City.
00:49:07.000Donald Trump famously called for the death penalty to be applied.
00:49:10.000That was a group of five black men who were basically accused of rape of a jogger.
00:49:19.000And then later, there was DNA evidence.
00:49:21.000A person came forward and made an admission that he was the person who committed the rape.
00:49:46.000She says, at about 9 p.m. April 19th, 1989, a large group of young men gathered on the corner of 110th Street and Fifth Avenue for the purpose of robbing and beating innocent people in Central Park.
00:49:57.000The woman, known as the Central Park jogger, Trisha Maley, was not their only victim.
00:50:01.000Eight others were attacked, including two men who were beaten so savagely that required hospitalization for head injuries.
00:50:06.000Reporters and filmmakers have explored this story countless times from numerous perspectives, almost always focusing on five attackers and one female jogger.
00:50:14.000But each has missed the larger picture of what happened at that terrible night, a riot in the dark that resulted in the apprehension of more than 15 teenagers who sat upon multiple victims.
00:50:22.000That a sociopath named Matthias Reyes confessed in 2002 to the rape of Miss Mele.
00:50:26.000And that the district attorney consequently vacated the charges against the five after they had served their sentences had led some of these reporters and filmmakers to assume the prosecution had no basis upon which to charge the five suspects in 1989.
00:50:38.000So it is with filmmaker Anna Deverny and the Netflix miniseries When They See Us, a series so full of distortions and falsehoods as to be an outright fabrication.
00:50:46.000It shouldn't have been hard for Mr. Vernet to discover the truth.
00:50:48.000The facts of the original case are documented in a 117-page decision by New York State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Galligan, in sworn testimony given in two trials and affirmed by two appellate courts, and in sworn depositions of more than 95 witnesses, including the five themselves.
00:51:02.000Instead, she has written an utterly false narrative involving an evil mastermind, me, and the falsely accused, the five.
00:51:07.000I was one of the supervisors who oversaw the team that prosecuted the teenagers apprehended after that horrific night of violence.
00:51:13.000Mr. Vernet's film attempts to portray me as an overzealous prosecutor and a bigot, the police as incompetent or worse, and the five suspects as innocent of all charges against them.
00:51:23.000Consider the film's most egregious falsehoods, writes the prosecutor, when They See Us repeatedly portrays the suspects as being held without food, deprived of their parents' company and advice, and not even allowed to use the bathroom.
00:51:33.000If that had been true, surely those issues would have been brought up and prevailed in pretrial hearings on the voluntariness of their statements.
00:51:40.000They didn't, because it never happened.
00:51:42.000In the first episode, the film portrays me at the precinct station house before dawn on April 20th, the day after the attacks, unethically engineering the police investigation and making racist remarks.
00:51:51.000In reality, I didn't arrive until 8pm, 22 hours after the police investigation began, did not run the investigation, and never made any of the comments the screenwriter attributes to me.
00:52:00.000Mr. Vernay depicts suspects Yusuf Salaam and Corey Wise being arrested on the street.
00:52:04.000In fact, the two detectives went to the door of the Salaam apartment on the night of the 20th because both had been named by other rioters as attackers in multiple assaults.
00:52:12.000The film claims that when Mr. Salaam's mother arrived and told police her son was only 15, meaning they couldn't question him without a parent in the room, I tried to stop her, demanding to see a birth certificate.
00:52:20.000The truth is that Salaam himself claimed to be 16 and even had a forged bus pass to prove it.
00:52:25.000When I heard his mother say he was 15, I immediately halted his questioning.
00:52:28.000This is all supported by sworn testimony.
00:52:30.000Mr. Verne would have you believe the only evidence against the suspects was their allegedly forced confessions.
00:52:36.000There is, for example, the African-American woman who testified at the trial, and again during the 2002 reinvestigation, that when Corey Wise called her brother, he told her he had held the jogger down and felt her breasts while others attacked her.
00:52:47.000There were bloodstains and dirt on clothing on some of the five.
00:52:49.000And there are the statements of more than a dozen of the other kids who participated in the park rampage.
00:52:53.000Although none of the others admitted joining in the rape of Trisha Maylay, they admitted attacking male victims and a couple on a tandem bike.
00:52:59.000Each of them named some or all of the five as joining them.
00:53:01.000Nor does the film note that Mr. Salam took the stand at his trial, represented by a lawyer, chosen and paid for by his mother, and testified he had gone into the park carrying a 14-inch metal pipe, the same type of weapon that was used to bludgeon both a male schoolteacher and Ms.
00:53:14.000Mr. Reyes's confession changed none of this.
00:53:16.000He admitted being the man whose DNA had been left on the jogger's body and on her clothing, but the two juries that heard those facts knew the main assailant in the rape had not been caught.
00:53:24.000The five were charged as accomplices, as persons acting in concert with each other and with the then-unknown man who raped the jogger, not as those who actually performed the act.
00:53:31.000In their original confessions, later recanted, they admitted to grabbing her breasts and legs, two of them admitted to climbing on top of her and simulating intercourse.
00:53:38.000Semen was found on the inside of their clothing, corroborating those confessions.
00:54:20.000I talked about this a little bit yesterday on my radio show, which is why you should subscribe because you get all sorts of content that you won't get on the podcast.
00:54:27.000Okay, here is the new pitch, is that women in the World Cup are being paid less than men, and therefore, tremendous sexism, America's a terrible place, yadda yadda yadda yadda.
00:54:35.000There's an editorial, an op-ed, in the Washington Post today called, The Biggest Fight Facing U.S.
00:54:40.000Women's Soccer Field Isn't on the Field.
00:54:42.000Despite far greater success than the men's national team, women have had to go to court to try to secure equal pay.
00:54:47.000There's an op-ed in the New York Times called, Sex, the World Cup, and Breaking Up the Boys Club, by Emily Ryle, teaching philosophy at the University of Gloucester.
00:55:04.000Well, it's relevant to some of those things, right?
00:55:07.000Excellence of skill, gender, and sex may in fact be relevant to that, considering that men are generally better at sports than women because they have different musculature than women and different skill sets than women.
00:55:18.000In the same way that a little league game is not the same as a major league baseball game, Certain sports are not the same.
00:56:07.000That's because there just is not enough of a crowd of people who are willing to watch women play soccer.
00:56:11.000And the reason that there is not that huge crowd of people, and that we all pretend to love women's soccer every four years, and we pretend that it's super serious sporting and all this, The Olympics always draw a lot of attention.
00:56:21.000The World Cup always draws a lot of attention.
00:56:23.000The Women's World Cup always draws a lot of attention.
00:56:25.000But, how much attention does it actually draw?
00:56:27.000Well, in 2010 in South Africa, the Men's World Cup earned $4 billion.
00:56:31.000The Women's World Cup earned $73 million.
00:56:34.000For those who are not good at math, that means the Men's World Cup earned 54 times what the Women's World Cup earned.
00:56:39.000The reason for that, again, is because people aren't as interested in women playing soccer as men playing soccer, not because they are sexist, but because women are not as good at soccer as men.
00:56:49.000The women's World Cup national team lost 5-2 to an under-15 boys club from Dallas a few years ago.
00:56:55.000The Australian women's national team lost 7-0 to an under-15 boys team in Australia.
00:57:02.000People say, oh those were just scrimmages.
00:57:03.000Okay, imagine the men's World Cup team losing to an under-14 boys team.
00:57:08.000Is that a thing that would happen unless they actually threw the game?
00:57:13.000Pretending that men and women are not different ends in stupidities like the idea that women and men have to be the same for performing absolutely differently on the playing field.
00:57:21.000But this is how you end up with this piece from Emily Rial saying, In a soccer match last year, a ball tumbled aimlessly into the penalty area, almost like a confused pedestrian about 13 yards from the goal.
00:57:30.000Two players caught off guard by its awkward bounce missed it, but it was seized upon and just as quickly thumped into the top corner of the net by a storming attacker's foot.
00:57:37.000Hit with such zip, it seemed the goalkeeper couldn't see it, much less stop it.
00:57:41.000It's the kind of goal you watch again and again, pressing replay on your phone.
00:57:44.000It's the kind of skill that led the attacker who scored the goal, the American soccer star Lindsey Horan, to be among the first players nominated for the first women's Ballon d'Or prize, the sport's most prestigious annual award for best player, that for 61 years was awarded only to men.
00:57:59.000There's arguably more excitement to this Women's World Cup than any before it, but the specter of the best player in women's soccer not participating on its biggest stage looms large.
00:58:07.000A battle being jointly led by the Australian and American teams to equalize the $370 million gap in World Cup prize money is making headlines, too.
00:58:15.000The American women are also suing separately their National Federation over purposeful gender discrimination based on continued pay gaps.
00:58:21.000Despite years-long periods they point to in which the women's team appeared to earn more for the National Federation than the men's, the collective effect has been a reigniting of perennial debates over the nature and perception of women's sport.
00:58:33.000Again, if we cannot acknowledge that there is a difference between the men and the women, then I do not know why we have eyeballs and functioning prefrontal cortexes.
00:58:43.000But this lady basically, she says, That's completely subjective.
00:58:45.000I would not tune in specifically for a match between Serena Williams and Justin Hennin.
00:59:35.000She is, again, the best woman to ever play.
00:59:36.000But that is not the same thing as saying she is one of the best men to ever play.
00:59:40.000This is also silly, but I guess it goes part and parcel with the attempt to obliterate sex as a valuable statistic and as a valuable distinction to be made in terms of biology.
00:59:57.000So the New York Times is now reporting on lefties who are trying to go on these birthright trips to Israel and they are complaining about it.
01:00:03.000So birthright trips are these free trips to Israel.
01:00:05.000I have a lot of friends who have gone on birthright.
01:00:06.000My wife went on birthright at one point.
01:00:08.000There are a lot of young Jewish kids who go to Israel to visit Israel and they are paid for by birthright.
01:00:14.000But now, there are a bunch of young Jewish kids who want to, college kids, who want to go on Birthright, and then ignore the program of Birthright, which is to inculcate a love for the state of Israel, to teach them about what is good about the state of Israel, and they're angry at Birthright because Birthright has not scheduled in visits to the occupied, the so-called occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
01:00:31.000Okay, if you want to do that, then why don't you have the Palestinian government pay for you?
01:00:35.000When I give money to a charity, and when I sponsor people to do things, I expect them to do the things I sponsor them to do.
01:00:41.000This whining where you expect to be able to take somebody else's money and then use it exactly as you see fit is pretty unbecoming and astonishing.
01:00:48.000Birthright never made a promise that you would be able to go and listen to Palestinian propaganda from a terrorist group.
01:00:54.000If you choose to do that on your own time, enjoy yourself.
01:01:34.000Hey guys, over on the Matt Wall Show today, Congress wants to give itself a raise, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been at the forefront of this fight, insisting that she needs a raise, because if she doesn't get a raise, then what's going to happen is that congressmen are going to end up being corrupt if they don't get a raise.
01:01:50.000I want to explain why that argument is insane, and also I have a different idea about what we might do about congressional pay, which I will share with you.
01:02:02.000There's a video of him babbling nonsensically, and I want to play that for you on the show today just because it's, I mean, really funny, honestly.
01:02:09.000And finally, 60% of male managers say that they're uncomfortable with women working around women in the workplace and working one-on-one with women.
