00:00:04.000Okay, so, as it turns out, South Park was right yet again.
00:00:07.000Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, it is astonishing how they chase after cameras while claiming that they are attempting to run away from cameras.
00:00:15.000The latest iteration of this story is that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now claiming that they were involved in a near-fatal paparazzi chase in New York City.
00:00:23.000This is all part and parcel of the broader narrative that has been presented by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
00:00:27.000Prince Harry says that he is able to be sort of a bimbo idiot ne'er-do-well who abandons all family loyalty because the paparazzi killed Princess Di.
00:00:41.000This is his claim, is that Princess Di didn't actually, she wasn't killed by the driver of the limousine in which she was riding, who was traveling at a high rate of speed through a tunnel.
00:00:50.000No, what actually happened is that the paparazzi caused his mom to be killed and he himself has been victimized by the paparazzi and his whole life is about how the paparazzi victimized him.
00:00:59.000Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been cosplaying as Princess Diana in a wide variety of settings.
00:01:04.000She's wearing Outfits that are extremely similar to Princess Diana.
00:01:08.000At the end of Prince Harry's book, she goes to Princess Diana's grave.
00:01:14.000Well, now they're taking this to the next step because they've decided that the only way that they can be perceived as victims, because they are not victims, they are in fact some of the least victimized people on planet Earth.
00:01:22.000This is just one aspect of being a prince and then of being a second-rate actress who marries a prince and becomes a princess and then living in California where you make ridiculously narcissistic documentaries about yourself.
00:01:33.000And then get paid by Netflix to do so.
00:01:35.000Well, now they have to regain victimhood status and attention.
00:01:38.000And the only way really to do that is to claim that they are being brutally victimized by, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, the paparazzi.
00:01:44.000So according to page six, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are quote, extremely upset and shaken after being involved in a near catastrophic two hour paparazzi chase in New York City on Tuesday night.
00:01:54.000The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are traveling with Markle's mom, Doria Raglan, were pursued by photographers after leaving the Ziegfeld Theater, where the former actress was honored by Gloria Steinem at the Women of Vision Awards in Manhattan, which sounds absolutely insufferable.
00:02:07.000An event with both Meghan Markle and Gloria Steinem?
00:02:53.000We're going to take a picture of the car?
00:02:56.000Or a picture of you getting out of the car and going back to your hotel?
00:02:59.000Okay, like where were you planning to go?
00:03:02.000And I'm sorry for the whole singing in the rain bit where you're like running from car to car across the tops of buses and stuff, but I don't believe you.
00:03:09.000The insider alleges that one cameraman hit a car while another almost ran over an NYPD officer during the near-fatal chase.
00:03:15.000So basically, this is now something directly out of the movies.
00:03:19.000It started off with 12 paparazzi, then ended up with four chasing Meghan, Harry, and Doria, the insider tells us.
00:03:24.000The insider suspiciously sounded a lot like Meghan Markle.
00:03:27.000The security tried their best to lose photographers.
00:03:29.000Once in the taxi, Harry used his cell phone to record the ensuing melee.
00:03:32.000We're told security was also recording to gather evidence.
00:03:35.000Paparazzi were confronted by uniformed police officers but ignored warnings and continued chasing the trio, we hear.
00:03:40.000A rep for the Sussex claim to Page Six Wednesday last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms.
00:03:44.000Ragland were involved in a near-catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.
00:03:50.000This relentless pursuit lasting over two hours.
00:04:13.000And then stopping dead and banging your head against the back of the... This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours and apparently involving Jack Bauer, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers.
00:04:26.000While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone's safety.
00:04:31.000One source calls the incident absolutely shocking and says Raglin, who's 66 years old, was particularly terrified by the ordeal.
00:04:37.000Everyone is still upset to say the least.
00:06:18.000The NYPD, who assisted Prince Harry and Mark with transportation, according to Fox News, shared their account with Fox News Digital.
00:06:25.000There were numerous photographers that made their transport challenging, said Julian Phillips, a deputy commissioner of public information.
00:06:30.000The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at their destination.
00:06:32.000There were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests in regard.
00:06:36.000So we had heard that somebody hit a car, right?
00:06:38.000And also that they almost hit like an NYPD officer.
00:06:41.000The NYPD is looking through traffic camera footage and security footage to piece together what transpired.
00:06:46.000Apparently, there is a video that shows the chaotic scene the night of Harry and Markle's alleged chase, but it doesn't show any near collisions.
00:06:53.000At the time of publication, no footage of the alleged car chase had been made available.
00:06:57.000In fact, then when they interviewed the cab driver, a person named Sukh Charn Singh, who told the AP he instantly recognized his passengers.
00:07:05.000They were following us the whole time, he said to the paparazzi, but he said he wouldn't call it a chase.
00:07:08.000Singh, the cab driver, was on 67th near an NYPD precinct when a security guard waved him down.
00:07:13.000Singh pulled the yellow taxi to the curb and in came Harry, Megan, and her mom.
00:07:16.000Now again, I don't understand the strategy here.
00:07:18.000I really don't understand the strategy.
00:07:19.000So security got them out of a secure vehicle, put them on the street, and then waved down a passing cab.
00:07:25.000They had this look on their faces, he said.
00:07:27.000They were about to give their destination when a garbage truck blocked their path.
00:07:29.000All of a sudden, paparazzi came out and started taking pictures, he said.
00:07:33.000One of the royals told them to circle back to the precinct.
00:07:36.000They asked my name, and then after that, Harry said thanks and have a good day.
00:07:38.000They paid $17 in fare, and they gave a $50 tip, which is nice.
00:07:45.000So apparently he just kind of went around the block, but that doesn't sound like a two-hour near-catastrophic chase involving the paparazzi.
00:07:53.000According to royal watcher Omid Scobie, the paparazzi were confronted by police multiple times as they chased the royal couple who were on their way to a private residence where they were staying.
00:08:01.000Scobie alleged on Twitter the photographers drove on a sidewalk, ran through red lights, reversed down a one-way street, photographed the couple while driving, and illegally blocked a moving vehicle.
00:08:10.000The mayor was like, um, I, he said, the mayor said, I find it hard to believe there was a two-hour high-speed chase, but we'll find out the exact duration of it.
00:08:19.000If it's 10 minutes, a 10-minute chase is extremely dangerous in New York City.
00:08:25.000Again, the cabbie told the post that he said it seemed like it wasn't scary.
00:08:34.000He said it was a little crazy, they were trying to get home.
00:08:38.000But, you know, the kind of notion, he said, he also added, I never felt like I was in danger.
00:08:43.000It wasn't like a car chase in a movie.
00:08:44.000They were quiet and seemed scared, but it's New York, it's safe.
00:08:47.000And now the reason all of this is important is because, again, claims of victimhood in American society are the new currency of the realm.
00:08:53.000The way that you get attention is by claiming that you are a victim.
00:08:56.000And I've noticed there are a lot more pictures of Harry and Meghan in the papers than there have been any time recently.
00:09:01.000This also changes the narrative from the coronation, where Harry was kind of sidelined, It also allows for the media to do its job and talk about how American society is actually super-duper racist.
00:09:12.000CNN correspondent Salma Abdulaziz was talking about Meghan Markle and saying it's actually racist.
00:09:18.000It's racist to talk about Megxit, which is a pun on Brexit because it's Meghan Markle leaving Mexit.
00:09:27.000Again, I just have to emphasize how huge that exit was and how much it was criticized by the press here in the UK.
00:09:35.000Some calling it Megxit, that was seen as a very racist and sexist way to characterize that exit, pinning it just on Meghan rather than Prince Harry.
00:09:44.000There was a strong sense among communities of color here that she was being treated poorly by the press because of her racial background.
00:09:53.000And it's all about, it's all about victimhood.
00:10:40.000The Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, he actually put out a statement on this yesterday, quote, on International Day, with the most hideous flag of all time.
00:10:48.000This is the Pride Progress flag, which just is bizarre, but it's like a now vertical Pride Progress flag, so it's not like the typical rainbow flag, which was the Pride flag.
00:10:57.000Then they added in all of the trans and BIPOC flags, and then they added in the intersex flag, and so now it just looks like vomit.
00:11:05.000So, Secretary Blinken said, on International Day, against homophobia, biphobia, which I mean, I suppose that you're afraid of bisexuals, you're not just afraid of homosexuals now, now you're afraid of also bisexuals, interphobia, so you're afraid of intersex people, and transphobia, so you're afraid of everyone, apparently.
00:11:22.000You're apparently afraid of, like, all humans who are in any way not straight.
00:11:28.000That's the only justification for thinking that, for example, boys can't be girls, girls can't be boys.
00:11:33.000Or believing that not all forms of sexual activity are completely morally equivalent.
00:11:38.000This is an international lay against homophobia, biphobia, interphobia, transphobia, and arachnophobia.
00:11:43.000We call for an end to harmful conversion therapy practices, including those that attempt to change a person's sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics.
00:11:52.000Now, by the way, think about how Orwellian and perverse this is.
00:11:54.000Again, this is the panoply of victimhood.
00:12:11.000So traditionally, what people meant by conversion therapy was there was a kid who's having gay feelings and then they hooked him up to electrodes and showed him gay porn or something and then electrified him, right?
00:12:51.000Because if you're a transgender person, this means that this is inherent.
00:12:54.000It is not you choosing to believe a thing about the world that is not true, and then enact mutilation to your body in order to prove it, in many cases.
00:13:18.000You have an overwhelming tsunami of left-wing social nonsense that is coming down the pike
00:13:25.000You got the State Department tweeting out the Pride Progress flag and then plunking a Pride Progress flag just outside the Vatican because this is our chief export.
00:13:32.000Now, it used to be that America's chief export was Hollywood, and Hollywood was an expression of American culture, which was all about, you know, kind of freedom and American can-do-ism and the American flag and all the rest of the stuff.
00:13:44.000In America to the rest of the world in the 1940s and 50s meant cars, Coca-Cola, the American flag, apple pie, freedom.
00:13:50.000That is typically the takeaway the rest of the world got from Hollywood.
00:13:55.000Now what the rest of the world gets is boys can be girls, girls can be boys, and if you don't agree with that, you are some form of bigot.
00:14:02.000And this is now happening across corporate America.
00:14:04.000It's being promoted by medical authorities who are lying to our children.
00:14:08.000The American Academy of Pediatrics, which has nothing to do with pediatrics anymore and has everything to do with woke politics, has now issued a guide to puberty.
00:14:17.000It is called U-ology, a puberty guide for everybody.
00:14:21.000And this particular book, again, issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Literally has a section in which they explain that certain people are assigned female at birth.
00:14:34.000And even though they actually are female.
00:14:37.000That means that they could still be a boy quote.
00:14:40.000That's why you may have known him in the past as Olivia.
00:14:42.000David continues, but Oliver is a boy, so that means he's transgender.
00:14:45.000He belongs in the boys locker room as much as any of us do.
00:16:02.000So if they all say the same thing, then you can't do anything about it.
00:16:06.000If they all push forward with a wall of sound, an unbroken wall of sound, then that means you're just going to have to accept it.
00:16:12.000Because if everywhere you shop is doing Pride Month, then how exactly are you going to not shop somewhere during Pride Month?
00:16:17.000You're just going to have to ingest the rainbow cereal along with the rest of it.
00:16:23.000So unity and corporate wokeness is principle number one.
00:16:26.000And principle number two is you won't get that offended.
00:16:29.000Because the reality is, Harvard Business School studies about this, the left is significantly more annoying than the right is, typically speaking, when it comes to their consumption of products, or this has been true at least year to four.
00:16:40.000There's a study from Harvard Business School that I've talked about on the show before.
00:16:44.000This study found that if you take a neutral corporation, a corporation that has no politics, and you have a right-wing corporation and a left-wing corporation, that the left-wing corporation is viewed somewhat positively by the left, The neutral corporation is also viewed somewhat positively by the left because they assume that it's just a left-wing corporation.
00:17:01.000A right-wing corporation loses 20 to 30 points in approval rating just for not being a left-wing corporation.
00:17:08.000For the right, however, the right doesn't have significant feelings about this one way or another.
00:17:13.000The right typically will just shop wherever it wants to shop.
00:17:15.000So corporate America has relied on this.
00:17:17.000Corporate America has relied on your apathy and my apathy.
00:17:20.000And the fact that we're like, listen, man, I still got to go to Target.
00:17:27.000The entire goal of things like Pride Month, the entire goal of a wave of corporate propaganda on behalf of the Pride Progress flag, on behalf of propagandistic nonsense about the moral equivalence of all sexual activity and orientation, the beauty of all forms of sexual Congress, The idea that boys can be girls, girls can be boys.
00:17:47.000This entire moral program that is being pushed by the woke relies on one, their unity, and two, your apathy.
00:17:55.000But you don't actually have to do that.
00:17:58.000So what we are about to see, and we're already seeing it, is again, corporate woke unity in the assumption that you will remain apathetic no matter how woke and crazy they get.
00:18:11.000Major corporation relies on your shopping.
00:18:14.000They've decided that it's time to sell products that transes the kids.
00:18:16.000This is a TikTok video that's been going viral showing that there are bathing suits in the kids section with tuck options.
00:18:23.000So your little boy, you're trying to trans, you can get him a girl's bathing suit that allows him to take his penis and testicles and tuck them up under himself.
00:19:48.000RAMP is a corporate card and expense management software designed to help you save time and money.
00:19:51.000With RAMP, you can issue cards to every employee with limits and restrictions and automate expense reporting so you can stop wasting time at the end of every month.
00:19:58.000Ramp's accounting software automatically collects receipts and categorizes your expenses in real time so you don't have to.
00:20:02.000It saves you tons of time and tons of money.
00:20:04.000The time you save each month on employee expenses will allow you to close your books eight times faster.
00:20:43.000So Starbucks has now put out an ad for India.
00:20:47.000Now, India, as you may know, is a pretty socially conservative country.
00:20:50.000When I say that the chief export of the United States is now wokeness, I mean it.
00:20:54.000It is now wokeness because it's embedded in all of our corporate product.
00:20:57.000Starbucks is present nearly every place on the globe and they feel the necessity to lecture people of India about why boys can be girls and girls can be boys and parents need to be tolerant and accepting of their boy pretending that he's a girl.
00:21:11.000So here's an ad from Starbucks directed at the Indian market.
00:21:16.000By the way, this actually has not just ramifications for the domestic morality of the United States, of course, it also has ramifications for our foreign policy.
00:21:24.000You know what is one thing that people across the world are not interested in?
00:21:30.000I remember I was speaking, actually, it was an interesting conversation.
00:21:33.000I was speaking with a very high-ranking member of the Pakistani foreign policy establishment at one point.
00:21:39.000And this person and I were talking, and one of the things this person was saying is, listen, we have some commonalities of interest with the United States, there are areas of crossover, but there's one thing we are not interested in whatsoever, and that is your social morality.
00:21:50.000We think that your social morality is garbage.
00:21:53.000We think that you are attempting to corrupt our children.
00:21:55.000We think that you are attempting to import your libertinism and gender confusion into our country.
00:22:02.000And so we don't want any part of that.
00:22:04.000So if your offer is blue jeans, but also transness, not interested.
00:22:15.000It turns out there's a very small slice of the human population.
00:22:19.000It's a weird slice of the human population that is very into this stuff.
00:22:23.000And now wishes to proselytize on its behalf.
00:22:26.000But if you wish to, it makes it harder for us to form alliances with countries based on commonality of interest.
00:22:31.000Because what they say is, if we let you in the front door, we're very concerned with what you are going to bring in with you.
00:22:39.000Again, the export in 1950s America, 1940s America, 1930s America, the export was, we're going to bring American military power, we're going to establish your freedom, and we are not going to threaten your baseline level of morality.
00:22:50.000Because, you know what we still believe in?
00:22:51.000We still believe in, like, monogamous nuclear families.
00:22:54.000Like, the things that are the most threatening are, like, rock and roll.
00:22:57.000That was, like, the big threat in the 1950s and 60s.
00:22:59.000We might bring rock and roll to your shores, and that was gonna corrupt the youth.
00:23:02.000Now, the big threat is, we might come in and tell your son that he should cut off his penis.
00:23:07.000Well, that's a pretty big threat, as it turns out.
00:23:10.000So it actually has ramifications for how we do foreign policy, because who wants to ally with a country that says the condition of us allying with you, Saudi Arabia, the condition of us making an alliance with you, Hungary, the condition of us forming a more solid relationship with you, India, is that you fly the pride progress flag and also pretend that your son is a daughter.
00:23:32.000Here's the Starbucks India commercial.
00:27:10.000They have this tenuous agreement that they will all go woke in order so that you will just give in and acquiesce.
00:27:17.000You'll have a feeling there's a tsunami that every place you go during June is going to be covered with pride progress flags and gay pride flags and trans the kids onesies and all the rest of it.
00:27:25.000And so you go, oh god, I can't even deal with this.
00:27:40.000And then destroying their stock, picking a few targets, and then actively not buying from those targets, making clear why you are not buying from those targets.
00:27:49.000And then people say, oh, why are you singling out this company?
00:27:52.000Well, the answer is because we can't do all of them.
00:27:53.000So we will single out a few of them and we'll make examples of them.
00:27:56.000And we should make examples of them because when we make examples of them, the rest of you will learn not to insult your customer core and not to mimic the worst excesses of the LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign movement that insists on the proselytization of a peculiarly strange ideology claiming moral equivalence in all sexual activity and that boys can be girls and girls can be boys.
00:28:19.000You don't have to stand up to every single company.
00:28:26.000So Bud Light is a great example of this.
00:28:28.000Bud Light has taken it absolutely on the chin ever since they hired Dylan Mulvaney to be a spokesperson for Bud Light, pretending that the best spokesperson for Bud Light would be a gay man, a flamboyantly gay man, pretending that he is a woman.
00:31:08.000So you can put a serious dent in their profit margin simply by shifting your shopping over to Walmart.
00:31:11.000And you may say again, well, is Walmart any better?
00:31:13.000I don't know that Walmart's any better, but I do know that you can say the target is not someplace that you want to shop if they're going to do this sort of nonsense.
00:31:20.000And it does have an impact, even if it's a small impact and an incremental impact.
00:31:23.000So the latest example of that we'll get to in just one moment first.
00:31:27.000Did you know that our friends over at GenuCell have upgraded their most popular package to feature their top selling deep firming vitamin C serum plus ultra retinol moisturizer with natural retinol alternative.
00:31:36.000Right now you can take advantage of this limited time package upgrade for 70% off.

00:32:31.000Also, if you, along with tens of millions of other people, watch Netflix's hit show, Making a Murderer, you're going to love DailyWire's Plus's new exclusive 10-part series with Candace Owens, Convicting a Murderer, coming this summer.
00:32:56.000Candace found out the key facts were omitted in Netflix's series, so she set out to uncover the truth behind the notorious Stephen Avery case.
00:33:29.000So, when there is a pushback against woke culture, woke culture actually backs down.
00:33:35.000So, for example, Even in small ways, the L.A.
00:33:38.000Dodgers have decided not to give a Community Hero Award to an anti-Catholic drag group after outrage and pushback from Catholics.
00:33:44.000So, the Dodgers had originally planned to present the award to the L.A.
00:33:47.000chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an organization of men who dress in drag, queen versions of Catholic religious habits, and claim to have a ministry, according to their website.
00:33:56.000So the Dodgers actually put out a statement.
00:33:58.000They said that they still have their Pride Night celebration.
00:34:00.000Because it's very important that we have a night celebrating people taking pride in their sexual activity.
00:34:18.000When I think of meaningful traditions in American life, I think like July 4th, Memorial Day,
00:34:24.000people flying gay pride flags to celebrate who they want to bang.
00:34:28.000This event has become a meaningful tradition, highlighting not only the diversity and resilience within our fan base, but also the impactful work of extraordinary community groups.
00:34:36.000This year, as part of a full night of programming, we invited a number of groups to join us.
00:34:39.000We are now aware that our inclusion of one group in particular, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, in this year's Pride Night, has been the source of some controversy.
00:34:46.000Given the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the Sisters' inclusion on our evening, and in an effort not to distract from the great benefits we've seen over the years at Pride Night, we're deciding to remove them from this year's group of honorees.
00:34:55.000So they are still partnering with LA Pride.
00:35:07.000If you can push the LA Dodgers off of giving awards to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, I mean, it shows how far our culture has degraded that they were even thinking of doing this in the first place.
00:35:15.000But again, these companies are vulnerable.
00:35:21.000Don't believe for a second that when you say, I'm not going to shop at Adidas, or I'm not going to go to Starbucks today, or maybe ever again, because they're pushing this kind of garbage, that it doesn't make it.
00:36:34.000According to this study, again, this was published by PubMed, This particular study shows 30% detransitioning rate.
00:36:43.000And this is for people who have transitioned in the military, meaning they're adults.
00:36:47.000Now that we have wildly expanded the number of people who are identifying as trans through social contagion, and now that we have greatly broadened the criteria that allow you to go get trans, you're going to see a detransition rate that is way higher than this over the course of time.
00:37:02.000Now, all of this has some predictable results, by the way.
00:37:04.000Those predictable results are not just related to a woke corporate culture that believes nonsense.
00:37:23.000This has some pretty significant downstream effects because it turns out that when you discredit an institution, you get both the good and the bad of discrediting the institution.
00:37:30.000If the CDC is discredited, that's good in the sense that we all take a third, fourth, fifth look at the data before we acquiesce to whatever the CDC is telling us.
00:37:39.000It also means that when the CDC is occasionally right, we tend to ignore them.
00:37:42.000But, with that said, skepticism is entirely warranted pretty much anything that is presented to you by the narrative, by the narrative crew.
00:37:50.000And the narrative crew is, again, Democrats, the media, their woke corporate buddies.
00:37:55.000Speaking of the narrative crew, I have to tell you a story that is not a national news story.
00:38:01.000Again, the way that we determine whether a story is national news or not is whether it fits the left-wing narrative.
00:38:05.000So the national news stories are all the ones where a racist killing takes place, or an allegedly racist killing takes place, or a killing that has nothing to do with race takes place, but the victim is black and the perpetrator or alleged suspect is white.
00:38:18.000Those are the ones that are national news.
00:38:20.000What is never national news is an open hate crime against white people by black people.
00:38:23.000That is never, ever, ever national news.
00:38:40.000The two men arrested for the fatal shooting of Lawrence Herr in Kenner may have been motivated because he was white, a detective working the homicide said during a court hearing on Tuesday.
00:38:48.000On April 11th, Kenner police arrested a 23-year-old and a 25-year-old for the April 10th murder of Lawrence Herr.
00:38:53.000They are both black, the victim was white.
00:38:56.000He was shot and murdered while installing a mailbox outside a home on Georgetown Drive in Kenner.
00:39:01.000At the time of the killing, the Kenner police chief said one of the suspects confessed to the shooting but didn't have a particular motive.
00:39:47.000Because again, it doesn't match the narrative.
00:39:49.000Even though, statistically speaking, it is far more likely that a black person is going to murder a white person than the white person is going to murder a black person.
00:39:58.000I think we've reached the point where the fragmentation of narrative is so broad that it's difficult to imagine how we can hold together as a country because of it, honestly.
00:40:06.000Like the fragmentation, because data doesn't matter.
00:40:11.000And a huge percentage of the population feels like one particular narrative is being rammed down their craniums by the powers that be.
00:40:18.000In which case, resistance, electoral resistance, Resistance in the form of commerce?
00:40:24.000Resistance in the form of use of government power?
00:40:26.000Those things are going to become far more likely.
00:40:28.000When you feel like you're getting gas lit, you tend to react.
00:40:31.000And that's where we are in the debate right now.
00:40:33.000Okay, meanwhile, we are drawing ever closer to the debt ceiling.
00:40:37.000Joe Biden actually is now giving indicators that he's willing to compromise on the debt ceiling, which of course he should.
00:40:41.000And the fact of the matter is that the White House has been playing a double game.
00:40:44.000On the one hand, they keep going out there and saying that it's Kevin McCarthy refusing to compromise.
00:40:47.000And on the other hand, they keep saying we're not even going to negotiate.
00:40:50.000So Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, he has been trying to participate in non-existent negotiations.
00:40:56.000He says it's just the fault of Republicans.
00:40:59.000Are you concerned, though, that the president has talked about conceding work rules for people on federal assistance programs?
00:41:08.000Yes, and I'm going to wait and see what the actual outcome is before I make any decisions about how to react.
00:41:15.000The absolutely worst thing that could happen would be a default.
00:41:18.000That would be, I think, you know, we always use big words on television, but I think it's fair to say that that would be economically cataclysmic.
00:41:25.000Not only in the United States, but around the world.
00:41:28.000And that Speaker McCarthy is playing with dynamite, whose danger he does not fully appreciate.
00:41:34.000And the sooner he puts the pin back in the head, and we can go back to regular order and behave like the Constitution suggests we should, the better off we will all be.
00:41:45.000These people care deeply about the Constitution.
00:41:47.000Meanwhile, Kareem Jean-Pierre also gaslighting everybody, suggesting that McCarthy is the problem.
00:43:01.000He's the one who's been avoiding the negotiation.
00:43:05.000Right, and the practicality is that we're not going to solve the fiscal health of the American people over the next ten years in two weeks.
00:43:13.000That's what Republicans are suggesting they'd like to do.
00:43:15.000And what we're saying is that we should have a serious discussion about that, but every available tool to engage in deficit reduction, to build an economy, to continue economic growth, should be part of that discussion.
00:43:37.000It does look, by the way, as though Joe Biden is going to cave on this, which he has to, because if we get an actual recession because of the debt ceiling, Joe Biden is going to be the one who pays the political price.
00:43:43.000According to Politico, Biden on Wednesday left the door open to expanding some work requirements as part of a debt ceiling deal, committing only to opposing new restrictions that affect health care programs.
00:43:51.000Quote, I'm not going to accept any work requirement that's going to impact on the medical health needs of people, he said, before adding it's possible a deal could expand work rules for other federal programs.
00:44:00.000Pramila Jayapal, who is reliably crazy, she's the progressive from Washington, she said it was confusing.
00:44:05.000She said it wasn't open to much more than what we had, and it seemed to leave a little door open.
00:44:08.000But look, I've been clear, this is a non-starter with us.
00:44:12.000Well, it's going to be fun to watch Democrats battle it out over their unwillingness to do things like make people work when they are able-bodied.
00:44:19.000House Republicans were asked about Joe Biden saying that he wouldn't accept anything of consequence on the work requirements.
00:44:24.000They were literally laughing out loud.
00:44:27.000But he also said on work requirements he'd accept not anything of any consequence.
00:44:38.000I don't understand anything that has consequences.
00:44:41.000This is a senator who voted for work requirements.
00:44:44.000If he doesn't want to have something that has consequences, he wants to borrow more money from China to pay an able-bodied person who has no dependents, not even to look for a job, not even go to school for 20 hours.
00:44:58.000Republicans are going to win this fight.
00:45:56.000Naturopathic doctor, Dennis Black, the founder of Rough Greens, is so confident this product will improve your dog's health, he's offering my listeners a free Jumpstart Trial Bag.
00:46:15.000All right, time for a quick thing that I hate.
00:46:21.000So this is about a few days old, but I think that it's worth commenting on.
00:46:25.000So Gabrielle Union, who is one of the world's more annoying human beings, she also happens to have transed her stepson and pretended that her stepson is a daughter.
00:46:35.000And she and Dwayne Wade have then pretended they moved out of the state of Florida because of Governor DeSantis, even though they actually have not been living here for like three, four years.
00:46:51.000She was on a podcast on Instagram called Black Millionaires, and she's being interviewed.
00:46:57.000And here she was explaining how she does her financial arrangements with her husband, Dwyane Wade.
00:47:03.000Did you develop that first sense of security?
00:47:09.000In this household, we split everything 50-50.
00:47:12.000But in the other households that each of us have to support, it puts this, there's always this like, gorilla on your back that is like, you better work, you better work, you better work.
