Joe Biden says he has no idea how many kids are missing in the wildfires that have ravaged the Hawaiian island of Maui, but it's not hard to see why he doesn't have an inkling of empathy. Joe Biden is a very selfish creature. He does not see political power as a way to help the little guy, as he pretends. He sees it as a means to help himself and his family, and the people he is most close to. And if that means denying the family name to a 4-year-old, then he'll do that too. But he's been able to get ahead because of this faux, supposedly roguish charm that Joe Biden once had. But as he gets older, all of the layers of charm are worn away. There's nothing left but a bunch of false old family stories that he trots out in lieu of empathy, and it's ugly. When you see it, it's really ugly. And then you start to get a little sympathy for him, and time and time again, he starts to wear a time and place symbol that says, "I m mourning 7." 7. And then he does something called "shavuosha" which means mourning. in Hebrew, it means seven days of mourning. And it's a very formalized, formalized ritual that works in the Jewish community so we do something called an shiva which means something called seven. a day of mourning for someone who has died. or or a that means . And so on and so on, and so that we can remember them and remember them. And so that they can t be mourned. And that s in the coming days, and can be a day to remember them, the day that they to be . And , let me explain why that s a good day, and how they are mourning I m mourning them, and what s a good day an day, and so forth what s a day and so on such etc. So you can check your calendar, as you will see, and check your calendars, as to see as you can see, so you can mark your calendar (as you will be (check your calendar. )
00:00:00.000Well, folks, before we jump into the show, I want to let you know that the full, unedited, non-censored version of this show is available over at DailyWirePlus.
00:00:06.000Head on over to DailyWirePlus.com right now and get yourself a subscription so you can watch the whole thing.
00:00:11.000So you can check your calendar, as you will see.
00:01:16.000And here's how the rules of politics work, gang.
00:01:19.000If you're the president, and a major natural disaster happens on your watch, and you are apparently not within eyeshot of the thing, then we say that you don't have empathy and that you are very, very bad.
00:01:28.000This was true of George W. Bush when it came to Hurricane Katrina.
00:01:31.000It was true of Ted Cruz when it came to freezing temperatures in Texas.
00:01:34.000And apparently it is not true if you're a Democrat.
00:01:37.000If you're a Democrat, you can do whatever the hell you want.
00:01:39.000So Joe Biden went on vacation to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
00:01:41.000He was asked specifically about the death toll in Lahaina.
00:02:05.000If you look at Joe Biden's entire life history, what you see is that Joe Biden cares chiefly about himself and also about people in his immediate familial circle.
00:02:13.000He's always been willing to use his power in order to corruptly enrich all of those people, including himself.
00:02:19.000He does not see political power as a way to, quote-unquote, help the little guy, as he pretends.
00:02:23.000He sees it as a way to help him and his family and the people he is most close to.
00:02:27.000And if that means denying the family name to, like, a four-year-old, he'll do that too.
00:02:30.000But he's been able to get ahead because the media have been able to shield him based on this faux, supposedly roguish charm that Joe Biden once had.
00:03:40.000Seven days after somebody dies, for that seven days, you literally just bring people food, you do all of the minyanim, all of the Jewish prayers that you have to do are done in the home of the mourners, The mourners don't leave their home for a full week.
00:04:06.000If you walk into the house of somebody who has died and you start talking about how you know exactly what it's like, how they feel because you also had somebody who died.
00:04:13.000That is an incredibly arrogant and selfish thing to do.
00:04:15.000It's like the first rule of visiting a house in mourning.
00:05:03.000But to Joe Biden, empathy means pretending that he cares about you while talking about himself.
00:05:08.000That is the nature of who Joe Biden is.
00:05:09.000So here was Joe Biden in Lahaina yesterday.
00:05:12.000I don't want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it's like to lose a home.
00:05:21.000Years ago, now 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press.
00:05:27.000It was a sunny Sunday, and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not a lake, a big pond, and hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating duct, the air conditioning duct.
00:06:24.000He also did it apparently in 2022 when he was talking about another wildfire.
00:06:31.000He's constantly trotting out this story.
00:06:33.000Okay, a few weeks back, my family, there's a lot of lightning here in the state of Florida, some lightning got grounded near our house and it set a small fire outside of our kitchen.
00:07:07.000Everything is refracted through the prism of Joe Biden.
00:07:09.000He's a person who owns only one surface and it is a mirror, apparently.
00:07:14.000Because all he cares about is how it affects him, how it affects his family, and what does he have to do so he can go back to vacation to Lake Tahoe?
00:07:24.000And the fact that, like, imagine for a second, I know we play this game all the time, but it's true because the media are corrupt.
00:07:30.000Imagine if Donald Trump had gone to the site of a wildfire that killed a thousand people, maybe, and talked about how one time he almost lost his car because there was a small kitchen fire in his home.
00:07:51.000Joe Biden has always and forever and will forever be about Joe Biden, which is why he has used his personal power for the corrupt purpose of enriching his own family.

00:09:58.000We can't talk about their wild incompetence.
00:10:00.000This, by the way, is true every time there's a natural disaster that strikes a left-wing area of the country.
00:10:04.000If Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans and the mayor there is just absolutely, if it's Ray Nagin and he's the worst mayor in modern American history, And 10,000 people die because he's a crappy mayor.
00:10:17.000Well, then you blame the president of the United States and FEMA, obviously.
00:10:20.000If you are a governor in a northeastern state and a hurricane wipes through your state and floods the place, then you blame climate change.
00:10:28.000And if you're in Hawaii, you don't blame the emergency management chief who apparently did not sound emergency sirens as wildfires neared Lahaina.
00:10:52.000Now, the reality is, in virtually all of these circumstances, when it comes to wildfires, when it comes to hurricanes, when it comes to virtually any natural disaster, There are two issues.
00:11:02.000One is the actual natural disaster, the size and scope of it.
00:11:05.000And the other is how the public officials built the place.
00:11:08.000How public officials exacerbated or mitigated the problem.
00:11:14.000This is why an earthquake of five magnitude will hit Iran and 10,000 people will die, but an earthquake of five magnitude will hit California and nobody will die because the buildings in California are built better than the buildings in Iran.
00:11:25.000So public officials actually matter an awful lot in terms of the regulations, in terms of the response.
00:11:29.000All that stuff matters extraordinarily when it comes to particularly natural disasters.
00:11:34.000Like this is the one thing they have to be pretty good at.
00:11:37.000In Hawaii, they were really bad at it, which is why a thousand people died.
00:11:40.000The chief, Herman Andaya, submitted his resignation citing health reasons, according to county officials.
00:11:45.000A day earlier at a news conference, Andaya defended the decision not to activate the sirens, saying the outdoor alarms are used primarily for tsunamis and would not have helped people because people are trained to seek higher ground when they hear the siren.
00:11:56.000Well, I mean, everybody would have at least looked around and gone, oh crap, a giant fire coming down the hill.
00:12:45.000There's always going to be incredible things that people do to save lives from the firefighters, from citizens, and there's always going to be decisions that are made that I'm sure aren't perfect in the moment.
00:13:01.000But when you have fire that moved more than a mile a minute, And what happened, I'm told by some of the survivors, they were at the initial fire.
00:13:10.000It was put out sometime late in the afternoon in Lahaina.
00:13:13.000And then the firefighters had to go to three other fires that had started because of the conditions.
00:13:19.000When they left, the fire stirred up again.
00:13:22.000And then when the storm winds from Dora, which were that strong, swept it out, it just destroyed everything.
00:13:40.000The new normal is a thousand people dying in Lahaina, apparently.
00:13:44.000Senator, what do you think the most important specific lessons are that can be learned from this to make sure a tragedy of this level does not happen again?
00:13:57.000Well, I think we all have to understand that severe weather events are going to get more frequent and more severe.
00:14:06.000Hawaii is a place that has experienced volcanic eruptions and tsunamis and hurricanes and tropical storms, and we've had a few wildfires, but nothing This is the new normal, guys.
00:14:18.000It's just cities getting flattened by wildfires.
00:14:22.000And I just think this is the new normal for not just the state of Hawaii,
00:14:26.000but for the whole planet, for the whole country. So.
00:14:28.000This is the new normal, guys. It's just cities getting flattened by wildfires. Jay Inslee,
00:14:34.000the governor of Washington, who's been big on the carbon limitation bandwagon for years now, he did the exact same
00:14:39.000thing. He said, well, the big issue is we need to decarbonize. Yeah, you need to
00:14:43.000stop driving that car of yours is the real. There's a giant wildfire that killed a thousand
00:14:46.000people in a high note because you have been using your car too much, guys, your fault. Because the
00:14:52.000fact of the matter is there's a beast at our door and that's the beast of climate change.
00:14:58.000It seems like the whole world is on fire.
00:14:59.000We need to defend ourselves from climate change.
00:15:02.000We need to decarbonize our economy so these fires don't ravage us.
00:15:07.000There's not enough fire trucks in the world to protect us if we don't stop climate change.
00:16:30.000Even the Washington Post is like, no, this is actually not climate change.
00:16:35.000Jeff Masters, meteorologist for Yale Climate Connection says, if you add together a whole bunch of influences, that's how you get a disaster.
00:16:42.000The links between human-caused climate change and fires are well established because global warming means plants can more easily dry out.
00:16:48.000But there's one other issue, which is that in Hawaii, it's also meant more rain.
00:16:54.000One of the things that's happened is increased humidity in Hawaii.
00:16:59.000Some immediate analysis of the winds observed in Hawaii have found Dora's presence may have only increased the gust speed by about five miles per hour, which is not sufficient to explain what exactly happened here.
00:17:08.000The hurricane and its intensity were certainly not the main effect fueling the fires.
00:17:13.000As for the drought conditions that covered more than a third of Maui County, where the most destructive fires burn, there's no direct sign they're a product of climate change, said Abby Frazier, an affiliate faculty member at University of Hawaii.
00:17:22.000While there's a long-term trend of declining precipitation in Hawaii, there isn't enough evidence to suggest this is the product of anything besides normal climate patterns and fluctuations in the Pacific, she said.
00:17:31.000Precipitation patterns that are heavily influenced by El Nino, which returned in June, and by a longer-term pattern known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation.
00:17:38.000El Nino is known for bringing drier winters, but its arrival doesn't explain the current conditions, said Fraser.
00:17:43.000In the summer, it can bring more precipitation than normal.
00:17:47.000So natural variability is just really strong in Hawaii.
00:17:52.000Well, I mean, part of it is the fire-prone grasses and invasive species that have been brought onto the island in order to allow for grazing.
00:18:00.000Some of it is failures of local public officials.
00:18:04.000When you're a Democratic local official, you can always have the media available to explain away your problems by blaming, you know, the Earth.
00:18:11.000What a wonderful, what a wonderful privilege to be a Democrat.
00:18:21.000Okay, meanwhile, speaking of people who are sucking at their job, the President of the United States continues to preside over an economy that is really, really on the verge of something quite bad.
00:18:30.000Treasury yields continue to climb, meaning the price of bonds is going down.
00:18:34.000That's how you end up with a higher treasury yield, right?
00:18:36.000Because the way that a yield works is that it is the difference between the facial price of the bond and the return on the bond.
00:18:42.000So that means that people are still investing in the stock market, but it's kind of weird because the so-called inverted yield curve continues to predominate.
00:18:51.000The 10-year yield closed at 4.339%, above the nearly 16-year high it set last Thursday.
00:18:57.000Rising yields have weighed on stocks, with all three major indices logging losses last week.
00:19:03.000The route in bonds has been led by longer-term treasuries.
00:19:05.000In other words, people are not trusting that the government may be able to pay back those bonds, or they are very doubtful about the state of the long-term economy.
00:19:16.000Meanwhile, car prices are about to take a nosedive.
00:19:19.000According to the Wall Street Journal, five years ago, there were a dozen models of new cars selling for less than $20,000.
00:19:26.000For the average American, paying off a new car at current prices demands 42 weeks of income.
00:19:30.000And so you're about to see the prices nosedive when it comes to cars.
00:19:33.000You're also seeing hiring slow down pretty significantly.
00:19:37.000Pay for new hires is declining significantly.
00:19:40.000According to the Wall Street Journal, pay for new hires is starting to shrivel after years of hefty salary bumps requiring workers to reset while financial gains to expect from switching to a new job.
00:19:49.000Again, the red lights are all blinking at this point.
00:19:53.000The only question is when the economy is going to tip.
00:19:57.000You have to feel, if you watch the economy on a daily basis, that what goes up must come down.
00:20:02.000And the effects of an inflationary economy and a stagnating economy with little innovation, with little investment, Those wages are going to come due pretty fast right here.
00:20:12.000Which means, as I've said 1,000 times, Joe Biden is a very, very vulnerable incumbent.
00:20:27.000Innovation Refunds has been helping small businesses that qualify get a business payroll tax refund through the Employee Retention Credit, or ERC.
00:20:33.000The ERC is a tax refund for businesses that kept employees on payroll for parts of 2020 and 2021.
00:20:39.000If you own a business with more than five employees, you could have money waiting to be claimed.
00:20:43.000Are you uncertain about your eligibility for the ERC?
00:20:45.000Well, Innovation Refunds has a team of independent tax attorneys that will collaborate with your CPA to assess your eligibility, ensuring you feel confident before you submit that application.
00:20:52.000They've already helped thousands of eligible businesses apply for the ERC.
00:20:55.000Innovation Refunds does not provide tax or legal advice.
00:20:57.000They work with an independent network of tax professionals.
00:21:00.000They'll share information with them to evaluate and process your claims.
00:21:03.000Head on over to InnovationRefunds.com to determine eligibility.
00:21:05.000If you do qualify, you could be on your way to receiving money for your business.
00:21:42.000According to the latest polling data, some 73% of Americans in the Republican Party would like to see Trump join the debate.
00:21:51.00027% agreed with Trump that he should sit it out.
00:21:55.000But only 9% of voters said they would like Trump's opponents to place an emphasis on making the case against Donald Trump.
00:22:00.000So very few people are going to be watching that debate hoping that somebody attacks Donald Trump.
00:22:04.000That basically is going to be Chris Christie's job, right?
00:22:07.000This is his designated lane in the Republican primary, whatever that exists.
00:22:10.000Now, he is showing in polls in New Hampshire, by the way.
00:22:13.000Now, Christie is running very weak in Iowa.
00:22:16.000But right now, according to the latest poll I've seen from New Hampshire, he's showing at 14% in New Hampshire, which is his best poll showing yet.
00:22:22.000Christie, for his part, is attacking Trump with alacrity, suggesting that Trump is a coward.
00:22:45.000When are we going to stop thinking that's normal?
00:22:47.000What if we allow our country to understand again that nominating someone who's out on bail in four jurisdictions is not a winning formula?
00:22:57.000Okay, so, Christie presumably will make that case at the debate.
00:23:03.000And it'll be interesting to see how people on the stage respond to all that.
00:23:05.000Meanwhile, Democrats are just rooting for casualties on the stage, according to the New York Times.
00:23:09.000After a year of fretting about President Biden's political standing and their electoral chances in 2024, Democrats are at a moment of high confidence.
00:23:16.000As Republicans prepare for their first presidential debate on Wednesday, they'll be watching with bated breath in the hopes that the Republican candidates embrace the likely-to-be-absent Donald J. Trump, defend him over his four criminal indictments, endorse national restrictions on abortion, and call for cuts to Social Security and Medicare in Democrats' dream scenario.
00:23:31.000Even without Trump on stage, Democrats see the Republican White House hopefuls as avatars for what they describe as a party enthrall to its extreme elements.
00:23:39.000Nobody is rooting for the debate to go off the rails more than Democrats praying for Mr. Biden's re-election.
00:23:43.000Well, because they are rooting for casualties, it is worthwhile noting how many of them are pushing rivals to Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida.
00:23:48.000The polls right now show that DeSantis is trailing Trump by a lot.
00:23:49.000continue to double down on a six week abortion ban, that'd be wonderful.
00:24:35.000Selzer says that the findings indicate the race is closer than it may first seem.
00:24:38.000That's because in the Iowa caucuses, a voter's second place choice matters.
00:24:41.000So let's say that you are Ron DeSantis, you're the first choice of 19% of the people, and then you vote for Tim Scott, and Tim Scott is not one of the top two.
00:24:49.000And that means that you are going to now get a boost, right?
00:24:51.000Because let's say that you chose Tim Scott and then DeSantis, and then Scott's vote gets tossed out, it's ranked choice voting, and then that second choice vote goes to DeSantis.
00:24:58.000So theoretically, DeSantis could be the winner in Iowa.
00:25:02.000The Des Moines Register notes 63% of likely GOP caucus goers say they support Trump as their first or second choice.
00:25:07.000That footprint is on par with 61% who say the same for DeSantis.
00:25:12.000Also, half of Republicans in that Iowa poll are saying their minds are not yet made up.
00:25:16.000So, what do the media have an interest in?
00:25:17.000They have an interest in fragmenting the field, obviously.
00:25:19.000The more the field is fragmented, if they believe that Trump is the best person for them to run against, which seems pretty evident, then their interest is in propping up other people who are not DeSantis.
00:25:28.000Well, right now, the candidate of the moment who is not DeSantis is Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:25:32.000This presumably is why Kevin Madden, no friend to Republicans, he's a former senior advisor to Mitt Romney, who appears on MSNBC regularly, he says that Vivek is the person with the highest potential on the stage on Wednesday.
00:25:48.000I mean, you have a fine-tuned eye to all these different candidates and who has potential people aren't paying attention to.
00:25:53.000You know, I think the greatest potential for this debate comes from Vivek Ramaswamy because if you look at his rapid-fire approach and you look at how he really crystallizes his message in all of his cable TV interviews, at the end of the day these debates are television performances.
00:26:10.000And so his ability to really crystallize his message and deliver that message and make people think, wow, this is a fighter.
00:26:16.000This is somebody who is going to take the fight to the Democrats and the perceived excesses of the left as hard as anybody up there.
00:26:24.000That, I think, probably has the greatest potential for tomorrow night.
00:26:29.000And meanwhile, David Axelrod is also propping up Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:26:34.000Vivek is not going to be president of the United States this election cycle.
00:26:38.000In fact, there's an article out today suggesting that Vivek basically ran in order to act as a stalking horse for Trump.
00:26:45.000This is according to a report from ABC News.
00:26:49.000Ramaswamy, two donors, pitched himself as a candidate who could make serious waves in the Republican primary meeting.
00:26:53.000When met with some skepticism, Ramaswamy argued his candidacy could also dissuade Governor Sanchez from entering the race.
00:26:58.000In the lead up to his announcement, Ramaswamy would tell several other conservative activists he believed that if he ran, it could stop DeSantis from running or impact his viability as a candidate if he did enter the race.
00:27:10.000It is worth noting that if Vivek really were gaining in the polls, like against Donald Trump, you'd imagine Donald Trump would have nicknamed him already, right?
00:27:15.000Donald Trump has never been shy about going after people he considers to be rivals.
00:27:19.000Instead, all he has is warm words for Vivek.
00:27:28.000But it says something when David Axelrod is praising you to the skies.
00:27:32.000Interesting thing about that to me was the reference to Ramaswamy, who started off as an unknown and has proven himself to be a much more effective culture warrior than DeSantis himself.
00:27:45.000And, you know, going after the woke and so on.
00:27:50.000He's just been much more compelling at it.
00:27:54.000Yeah, just again, Democrats are propping up the vague.
00:27:59.000Meanwhile, by the way, the vague is, you know, he's stepped on his toes a few times here, but it's not getting the sort of national attention that his positive spin is getting right now.
00:28:10.000For example, the Washington Examiner has an entire article about the vague's flip flops on a wide variety of issues.
00:28:16.000According to the writer Gabe Kaminsky, he says Ramaswamy, an ex-pharmaceutical executive who rose to prominence following the publication of his 2021 book Woke Inc.
00:28:24.000Inside Corporate America's Social Justice, is pulling in third place in the GOP primary behind DeSantis, who himself is clocking in at double digits behind former President Donald Trump.
00:28:34.000Ramaswamy has sought to position himself as an outsider, but the reality is that, again, he has been on all sides of a variety of issues.
00:28:45.000The Republican told the New York Post in mid-August he'd be open to evaluating pardons for members of the Biden family in the interest of moving the nation forward if you're elected president.
00:28:52.000And then he declared, no, I don't have any plans to pardon Hunter Biden.
00:28:55.000When you strike the swamp, the swamp strikes back.
00:28:57.000When Fox News ran a story two days later in August with the headline, Ramaswamy breaks with GOP on decriminalization of hard drugs, quote, I'm in that direction.
00:29:05.000Or he said, quote, I think in the long run, I'm talking about over the long run period of time, decriminalization seriously is an important part of the long run solution here.
00:29:11.000Ramaswamy also labeled that planted trash.
00:29:16.000Again, he has flip-flopped on foreign policy.
00:29:19.000Two months ago, he denied to the Washington Free Beacon he was open to ending military financial support to Israel after the outlet cited footage from the campaign trail where he reportedly expressed a contrary view.
00:29:29.000And then he said that it was false reporting in June.
00:29:32.000And then it was reported that it was a misunderstanding.
00:29:34.000And then he told the outlet on Saturday that he now supports phasing out most aid to Israel by 2028.
00:29:41.000He has said that he is open to basically moving microchip production out of Taiwan, semiconductor independence.
00:29:47.000He said, after that, our commitments to Taiwan, our commitments to be willing to go to military conflict will change because that's rationally in our self-interest.
00:29:54.000So again, Vivek is a super smart guy, Vivek, no question.
00:29:59.000But the notion that he's running a fully consistent campaign, not so much.
00:30:02.000And of course, he's been flirting a little bit with some interesting theories.
00:31:00.000In any case, these would be gaffes where if DeSantis said it, it would be a major media story, Vivek is saying it and it's sort of kind of flying under the radar.
00:31:06.000Because the media have a stake in a very competitive primary that does not include Trump.
00:31:10.000They have a stake in Trump running at 50% and everyone else being at like 14 or 15%.
00:31:14.000I am glad to see that in the run-up to the RNC debate, Now, finally, the Fox News has informed the Trump campaign that surrogates for Trump will not be allowed to attend the first Republican debate.
00:31:28.000The barring of Trump's surrogates, according to the New York Post from Wednesday's debate, comes one day after Trump confirmed he would not participate in the event.
00:31:34.000The Post has confirmed surrogates for any candidate who did not make the stage will not be allowed at the debate or at least in the spin room.
00:32:19.000So hopefully Fox News and the RNC find some testicles and deny Trump's surrogates the ability to get in the spin room.
00:32:26.000Because again, the spin room is for the people who play the game.
00:32:30.000It's very bizarre to have surrogates for a person who is explicitly denying the importance of the debate in the spin room to just crap all over all the other candidates.
00:32:37.000And meanwhile, speaking of President Trump, he is slated to turn himself in in Fulton County, Georgia on these Fannie Willis RICO charges.
00:32:45.000He's expected to do that the day after the debate.

00:34:42.000Okay, meanwhile, Well, if you're Donald Trump and there's a great way for you to, you know, quash all talk about a debate where you're not going to be, here's a great way.
00:34:50.000Show up for your arrest in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:34:52.000So, again, dude has impeccable timing.
00:34:54.000You have to say that Donald Trump knows how to work a camera.
00:34:57.000So according to CNN, Donald Trump plans to turn himself in and be processed at the Fulton County Jail on Thursday following his agreement earlier Monday to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions.
00:35:07.000I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday to be arrested, Trump wrote on Truth Social.
00:35:12.000So apparently, several co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering case have also agreed to the terms of their bond agreements with the DA's office.
00:35:17.000Trump's lawyers, Jennifer Little, Drew Feining, and Marissa Goldberg, met with the DA's office on Monday before the details of the bond agreement were released.
00:35:24.000Other Trump lawyers have been working behind the scenes on the approach to the bond.
00:35:27.000The release conditions outlined in Trump's bond order are more extensive than those laid out in the others approved earlier Monday in the case.
00:35:33.000According to the judge, quote, the defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice.
00:35:42.000The above shall include but are not limited to posts on social media or repost of posts made by another individual on social media.
00:35:48.000If Donald Trump retweets something threatening Rudy Giuliani or ripping on Rudy Giuliani or something, then theoretically they could haul him back to jail.
00:35:56.000They could say you have violated your bond.
00:35:59.000So his team is saying this is a violation of free speech.
00:36:01.000I should be allowed to say basically what I want because your interpretation of intimidation of witness might just be my open and honest take on what's going on with co-defendants.
00:36:09.000That seems like fairly reasonable actually.
00:36:12.000This is the highest bond of any of the defendants, which again is sort of strange, given the fact that Donald Trump is the least likely person in human history to abscond from justice.
00:37:39.000Now, that's not stopping Trump from attacking other Republicans.
00:37:41.000I don't even mean like other candidates.
00:37:43.000I mean just other Republicans generally, right?
00:37:46.000Right now, he's attacking Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, which he's tried this before.
00:37:52.000Kemp got re-elected over Stacey Abrams, the true governor of Georgia.
00:37:57.000He got reelected over her by crushing her.
00:38:00.000To Trump's great dismay, by the way, I mean, Trump tried to actually primary Brian Kemp.
00:38:03.000Well, now he's attacking Brian Kemp for not firing Fannie Willis, which again, like he doesn't have the power to do.
00:38:12.000He says, Governor Kemp of Georgia is fighting hard against the impeachment of the crooked, incompetent, highly partisan DA of Fulton County, Fannie Willis, who has allowed murder and other violent crime to massively escalate.
00:38:26.000Willis should focus on out-of-control murder, not I will get Trump over a perfect phone call.
00:38:30.000Georgia does not deserve this giant murder wave.
00:38:34.000Um, so, I don't understand why that's Brian Kemp's fault.
00:38:38.000There's not even a majority support in the state legislature to impeach Fannie Willis at this point.
00:38:42.000But, yeah, again, it's free fire in every direction from President Trump, as always.
00:38:47.000Now, one of the things that the multiple indictments of Trump continue to underscore is that Joe Biden gets away with pretty much anything.
00:38:54.000Like, anything and everything, all the time.
00:39:10.000We have a secret email address of Joe's to Hunter on Ukraine Matters.
00:39:13.000We have partners of Hunter Biden openly testifying that Joe was involved in Hunter's business to the extent that he would stop by meetings and phone into them.
00:40:07.000Did you know that Hunter Biden is a victim?
00:40:09.000Do you know he's a lifelong victim, Hunter Biden?
00:40:11.000I mean, sure, every job he's ever held is because his daddy was either a senator or vice president of the United States or president of the United States.
00:40:17.000Sure, he's made millions of dollars being a useless, derelict, drug addict piece of crap, but he's a victim, guys.
00:40:24.000He's a drug addict, and we should all feel super duper duper bad for him.
00:40:27.000It's amazing how the words white privilege that Bakari Sellers is eager to utter under virtually every circumstance.
00:40:33.000Let's just go absent when we talk about the greatest scion of white privilege in modern American history, Hunter Biden.
00:40:39.000Meanwhile, by the way, Hunter Biden's legal team is targeting, wait for it, the IRS whistleblowers.
00:40:43.000Remember the IRS whistleblowers who blew up his sweetheart deal?
00:40:45.000Well now, apparently, according to the New York Times, while Mr. Biden's legal team agrees that IRS agents affected the deal, his lawyers have contended to the Justice Department that by disclosing details about the investigation to Congress, they broke the law and it should be prosecuted.
00:40:57.000A team of lawyers for one of the IRS agents said in a statement, it appears that if it weren't for the courageous actions of these whistleblowers, who had nothing to gain and everything to lose, Hunter Biden never would have been charged at all.
00:41:06.000So Hunter Biden's lawyers, obviously, in revenge, are now attempting to go after the whistleblowers.
00:41:10.000Meanwhile, other legal problems surrounding Joe Biden's campaign.
00:41:14.000According to the Washington Free Beacon and Andrew Kerr, President Joe Biden's favorite super PAC has a $12 million gap in its financial disclosures, according to a Washington Free Beacon investigation, prompting legal experts to call for immediate investigations into the troubling discrepancy.
00:41:26.000Future Forward, which the Biden White House has endorsed as the preeminent super PAC supporting the president's reelection bid, in 2021 claimed it received just $3.4 million in cash from its affiliated dark money group.
00:41:36.000But that group, non-profit Future Forward USA Action, reported in its 2021 IRS tax return it provided $15.3 million to the Super PAC that year.
00:41:47.000That should start a federal probe, you would imagine.
00:41:50.000The group is led by former Obama campaign officials.
00:41:52.000It has quietly raised nearly $400 million in the past five years to run ads supporting Biden and Democrats in battleground states.
00:42:00.000So we will see where all of that money went.
00:42:03.000Again, more corruption associated with the Biden campaign, for sure.
00:42:07.000And as we say, Joe Biden, an unsympathetic elderly gentleman, following up on the fact that he goes to Hawaii and talks about how one time his kitchen got set on fire and his Corvette almost got burned.
00:42:19.000Apparently, a Gold Star mom who met President Biden on the Memorial Day following her son's death from the terrorist attack at Kabul Airport, according to Daily Wire, said that Biden responded by suggesting she take a photo with him when she wept during their meeting.
00:42:30.000That is, um, the most empathetic thing I've ever heard, I think.
00:42:34.000She said, there's been a lot of grief.
00:42:35.000There's nothing like watching your child's eye in front of you, in front of the world.
00:42:38.000She recalled when she met Biden, he said, I can understand if you're angry.
00:42:41.000I stood face to face with him, eyeball to eyeball, and began to weep.
00:42:43.000She added, saying, it should never have happened this way.
00:42:46.000He stood there stoically, she remembered, nothing out of his mouth except, well, would you like to get a photo with me?
00:42:51.000Apparently, she told Biden the only picture she would take with him is if he stood with her at her son's tombstone at Arlington National Cemetery.
00:42:57.000Biden said, I can't do that because Secret Service won't let me.
00:43:09.000So, Richman, north of Richman, has now debuted at number one at the top of the Billboard charts, despite the media's rage over an unknown musician becoming a very, very famous person for writing a song that is very critical of the governmental left.
00:43:26.000Now, again, it is amazing how everybody's in favor of a rags-to-riches story in music, so long as it's not, you know, an out-of-work minor.
00:43:31.000If it's an out-of-work minor, like a person who mines the earth, then that person's bad, and we should have no sympathy for this person.
00:43:38.000According to the New York Times, Richmond, north of Richmond, an independently released track by a little-known performer billed as Oliver Anthony Music, became the number one song in the United States to top hits by superstars like Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and Olivia Rodrigo.
00:43:50.000The song was uploaded to YouTube just two weeks ago.
00:43:53.000It caught fire with conservative commentators, including Matt Walsh and Laura Ingraham, who described it as an authentic expression of working class struggle.
00:43:59.000Though some critics winced at anti-welfare sentiment that seemed to hark back to the Reagan era.
00:44:03.000Oh my God, you're not allowed to be anti-welfare, guys.
00:44:05.000Stop being anti-welfare or we're not going to allow you...
00:44:08.000A working-class person to have a successful song.
00:44:11.000You have to be pro-welfare in order for this to work.
00:44:13.000Or, presumably, you have to cut a song about the magic of transgenderism or something.
00:44:17.000That is the best way to get a song to hit number one and be feeded by the New York Times at the same time.
00:44:23.000Rich Men shoots to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 single chart with 17.5 million streams and 147,000 downloads according to Tracking Service Illuminate.
00:44:30.000After Jason Aldean's Try That in a Small Town, it is the second country song in less than a month to reach number one after stirring political controversy and sparking download sales.
00:44:39.000It's also the first time that an artist has ever made a debut at number one on the Hot 100 without any prior chart history in any form.
00:44:46.000So that is, again, it shows that when conservatives and people who are not in the cultural mainstream flex their market power, they are able to make an outsized cultural influence.
00:44:56.000The song is certainly worth the listen.
00:44:59.000If you recall back to the early days of Trumpism, it's really kind of fascinating.
00:45:02.000Think back to like 2015, 2016, when Trump was really gaining a lot of street credence and credibility and he was picking up huge support.
00:45:09.000There were all these pieces after Trump won in 2017 about like, who are these people who voted for Trump?
00:45:15.000Reporters from big cities into the wilds of like Iowa to discuss with the regular folk.
00:45:21.000As though they were Steve Irwin checking out some strange form of kangaroo.
00:45:32.000Vance's Hillbilly Elegy started making inroads, where people were like, oh, maybe these people think differently than we do.
00:45:37.000Maybe they have certain moral values that we don't hold.
00:45:39.000Maybe they are afraid of the peculiar morality that we are bringing to them that suggests that men can be women, women can be men, and that basically individual subjectivism is the height of human experience.
00:46:22.000That's the only way that we can have a major hit.
00:46:25.000If it's just a guy with a banjo playing about how, you know, his life is tough because it turns out too much of his money is being taken away from him, we can't have that.
