The White House Correspondents Dinner is an open celebration of the elite class who scratch each other's back. It's like the Met Gala except it's all journalists, and Republicans and Democrats all getting together to prove the thesis that there is a uni-party of elites who like each other and hang out behind closed doors and actually don't care very much about the people they are supposed to represent. Remember, all of these people are meant to be representing you. The press is supposed to be out there asking hard questions of all politicians so that you, the consumer, the voter, get the choices that you have been promised. The politicians are supposed be your representatives, representing your interests in the halls of power. Instead, they're all patting each other on the back, and then they reward each other for having patted each other. It all feels very Hunger Games, and it all feels like a lot of people getting together and patting themselves for just how much they actually Like Each Other. Like, underneath it all, we like Each other. What common values unite these people? But if you're talking about an event where everybody gets together and then you discuss a variety of different viewpoints, that just celebrates what we all make common, that's a different thing. And then you're sitting at the same table and talking to the same people you don't have a common point of view? It doesn't look like you're fighting for the same thing. It looks like a sham, doesn't it? Don't you agree with each other? Don t t tux? Don't tux, don't you? You're all fighting for a common cause? And that doesn't seem like a common viewpoint? It doesn t look like a bit of a day in day, does it? And that looks a bit like you are fighting for something that you all share a common perspective? That doesn't sound like you all fight for a little bit of money, which is a sham of a guy who doesn't really fight for the common man, which doesn't fight for something you're supposedly fighting for? and that doesn t fight for you doesn t really look like fighting for you, does that sound like a good day in a bit? don t t it? Don t get me tuxedos, do you tux tuxedo, do t t ts? I don t know, do yo?
00:00:05.000The State of the Union is about the monarchic institution of the presidency and the legislature pretending that we actually have a constitutional monarchy in some way.
00:00:13.000The White House Correspondents' Dinner is just a perfectly open celebration of the elite class who scratch each other's back.
00:00:21.000It's like the Met Gala, except the Met Gala actually included journalists, and Republicans and Democrats all getting together to prove
00:00:29.000the thesis that there is in fact a quote unquote uni-party of elites who really like each other and
00:00:33.000hang out behind closed doors and actually don't care very much about the people they are supposed to
00:00:37.000represent. Remember all of these people are supposed to be representing you right the press
00:00:41.000are supposed to be out there asking hard questions of all politicians so that you the consumer the
00:00:46.000voter you get the choices that you have been promised.
00:00:49.000The politicians, they are supposed to be your representatives, representing your opinions in the hall of power, representing your interests in the halls of power.
00:00:56.000Instead, they're all getting together, and they're patting each other on the back, and then they're rewarding each other for having patted each other on the back.
00:01:03.000And it really is like the Hollywood elites, and the journalistic elites, and the media elites, they all get together with the political elites, and then they demonstrate that they're all part of the blob, right?
00:01:12.000When people talk about the blob in Washington, D.C., this is what they are talking about.
00:01:16.000Now again, there's nothing wrong with having friends who are across the political aisle from you.
00:01:20.000There's nothing wrong with going to confabs with people you disagree with so that you can speak with them about the matters of disagreement and maybe give them your point of view.
00:01:28.000There is something wrong with people all getting together to celebrate why they are so superior to everyone else and none of the standards apply to them.
00:01:35.000And that's what the White House Correspondents' Dinner has turned into pretty much every year.
00:01:41.000It's why Donald Trump To his credit, boycotted the White House Correspondents Dinner.
00:01:45.000Also, he was willing to recognize, as apparently many other Republicans are not, that the White House Correspondents Dinner is just a place where people hate Republicans, at least hate conservatives, hate people who do not follow the party line.
00:01:57.000And so Trump was like, I'm just not in.
00:01:59.000I'm not going to go because it's just the same thing as a Comedy Central Democratic Party roast.
00:02:04.000But a bunch of Republicans showed up to this one.
00:02:06.000And you can tell who's who by who showed up.
00:02:08.000According to Politico, Brittany Griner showed up with Gayle King.
00:02:11.000RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel walked over to DNC Chair Jamie Harrison, their first in-person meeting.
00:02:17.000Kellyanne Conway chatted with Maine Governor Janet Mills.
00:02:19.000Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Pose with Julia Fox in black swan makeup.
00:02:23.000NRCC Chair Richard Hudson became starry-eyed when he met Justin Hartland from his all-time favorite TV show, This Is Us.
00:02:30.000A climate activist obstructed Ron Klain's path into the Hilton.
00:02:36.000Stars and reporters at the Fox News table looked uncomfortable during jokes about Tucker Carlson.
00:02:42.000Jonathan Karl chatting with Anthony Fauci.
00:02:44.000Anthony Blinken talking to Dasha and Yulia Navalnaya.
00:02:47.000Jeff Nussbaum chatting with Chris Tanuno.
00:02:49.000It's all the glitterati, and they're all together because they're all part of the same general coterie.
00:02:55.000Parties are parties, but this is a public party, and it is designed to demonstrate to the American public that these are the members of your governing class.
00:03:13.000If you're going to have an event where everybody gets together, and then, again, they sort of discuss the issues from a variety of different viewpoints, that's a different thing.
00:03:20.000But if you're talking about an event that just celebrates what we share, and the thing that you share is that you all make a lot of money, and that you all share a common political viewpoint, which is generally socially liberal, And that you all generally share a widespread belief that you are sort of superior to the common man.
00:03:40.000You go to a place where they give you all sorts of swag and really nice dinners, and then you listen to famous comedians talking, and you're sitting at the same table with people who you supposedly are fighting day in and day out.
00:03:51.000It all looks like a bit of a sham, doesn't it?
00:04:00.000So, here is John Legend walking into this thing with Chrissy Teigen.
00:04:05.000In the background, you can see a bunch of left-wing protesters carrying signs that say, Biden, end fossil fuels.
00:04:11.000And the left-wing glitterati, who presumably took a private jet in from Los Angeles, they are walking through this crowd, and Chrissy Teigen is having her train, she has a dress with a train, handled by a couple of servants, like a couple of people who work for her, as she walks through the crowd toward the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
00:04:32.000And you got some trans protesters over there.
00:04:36.000They're just walking right through, and there she is, having her train held by not one, not two, but three separate people who are holding her train as she walks into this event in Washington, D.C.
00:04:48.000And just to demonstrate how close are the connections between all the people who are in the room, at the very top of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, ABC News' Karen Travers gave an award to The Washington Post's Matt Visor.
00:05:00.000As the best journalist of the year, what exactly did Matt Visor report on?
00:05:24.000The judges said Matt Visor stood out among his competitors for work that went beyond
00:05:28.000the humdrum of covering the managed events of the presidency in the White House.
00:05:33.000Visor captured the spirit of Joe Biden, particularly with stories about the president's brother and how his Catholic faith influenced his strategic vision of the office.
00:05:43.000So, for kiss-assery, the award goes to Matt Visor of the Washington Post.
00:05:47.000And then, Matt Visor of the Washington Post, he gets up, he accepts the award, and then he's making kissy face with Joe Biden.
00:05:52.000This is the relationship between the press and the Democratic administration.
00:05:56.000And by the way, half of the Republicans, apparently.
00:06:07.000It is because there are many of us out here who take politics quite seriously.
00:06:10.000And who actually care about the policies that emerged from Washington, D.C.
00:06:12.000and don't understand why these people, why John Legend and Chrissy Teigen and Matt Visor and Joe Biden are the people who are sort of controlling how policy works in the country and why idiot Republicans would go to this thing and then go along with it.
00:07:52.000The White House Correspondents Dinner, again, the reason I'm spending a lot of time on this is because the White House Correspondents Dinner is indicative of the nature of American politics.
00:07:59.000An elite glitterati who have merged Hollywood, journalism, and the Democratic Party.
00:08:05.000And they all work in tandem with one another.
00:08:06.000This is why Barack Obama, who is a politician, has a Netflix deal in Hollywood.
00:08:10.000It is why Hollywood makes movies about journalists who then cover D.C.
00:08:23.000But all of those people are worshipping at the altar of the smaller, higher-class blob.
00:08:28.000And the White House Correspondents' Dinner?
00:08:30.000Is within the radius of a few hundred yards.
00:08:33.000That correspondence dinner is the cultural blob that from which virtually all big ideas spring and where consensus is created that is very different from the consensus of the American people.
00:08:46.000So the person who was the emcee was a person named Robert Wood Jr.
00:08:50.000I guess I'd never heard of this person.
00:08:52.000I guess this guy is on Comedy Central and he's done some guest spots on Trevor Noah's Comedy Central program.
00:08:57.000So he is a a fraction of the fame of Trevor Noah, who had like seven viewers in the first place, which means that they love him over in Washington, D.C.
00:09:04.000So here he was introducing Joe Biden at the at the White House Correspondent Center.
00:11:19.000They literally submit their questions, as we found out last week, in advance to you so you can write them on note cards because you cannot speak English.
00:11:26.000Because you are no longer mentally functional.
00:11:28.000And then Joe Biden did this routine where he pretended that he cares deeply apparently about
00:11:32.000a Wall Street Journal reporter who's been kidnapped and held essentially for ransom
00:11:36.000by the Russian government. Joe Biden was willing to trade the merchant of death for a basketball
00:11:41.000player. Don't worry, he talked about that too. But he began by expressing sympathy for the Wall
00:11:46.000Street Journal reporter's parents who showed up to this thing. To Evan's parents, Ella,
00:11:53.000Mikhail and sister Danielle, as I've told you in person, we, not just me, we all stand with you.
00:14:18.000No contracts, just go to stamps.com, click that microphone at the top of the page, enter code SHAPIRO.
00:14:22.000Again, you don't need to schlep all your packages down to the post office and then pay more money than you would with stamps.com.
00:14:27.000Instead, just use stamps.com, click that microphone at the top of the page, and enter promo code SHAPIRO.
00:14:32.000Okay, so Joe Biden did this long routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and this one clip really sums up his relationship with the press.
00:14:47.000A lot of ways this dinner sums up my first two years in office.
00:14:52.000I'll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions and cheerfully walk away.
00:14:55.000And the entire press is laughing and he's grinning at them.
00:14:59.000Of course he's grinning at them as he as he gradually turns into.
00:15:02.000I mean, watching Joe Biden is like a slow motion replay of that scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade after the guy drinks the wrong cup of wine.
00:15:15.000It's like a slow motion, like his hair is getting longer.
00:17:46.000Now, one of the things that was kind of fascinating about this White House Correspondent's routine from Joe Biden, he mentioned Donald Trump once, and it was only in the context of age.
00:17:55.000He had no harsh words, no harsh jokes, really, for Donald Trump.
00:17:58.000Virtually every joke was about somebody that he would like to see not run, Ron DeSantis.
00:20:53.000Get some more from Joe Biden at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, being a funny, funny man in just one second.

00:21:55.000Epicwill.com slash Shapiro to save 10%.
00:21:59.000Okay, so Joe Biden has harsh words for Tucker Carlson, has harsh words for Ron DeSantis, and his only joke about CNN is that CNN doesn't have amazing ratings.
00:22:07.000See, the problem with Fox News is that they're wildly dishonest, according to Joe Biden.
00:22:10.000The problem with CNN, who again, are just his press office.
00:22:13.000The big problem for them is that they're poor.
00:22:17.000Look, I hope the Fox News team finds this funny.
00:22:23.000My goal is to make them laugh as hard as CNN did when they read the settlement.
00:22:29.000But then again, CNN was like, wow, they actually have $787 million.
00:24:48.000I made clear that we know in our bones, and you know it too, our democracy remains at risk.
00:24:57.000Okay, so this is just a campaign speech, and the crowd are journalists, and they're all clapping because they agree with the campaign.
00:25:04.000If they had any balls at all, they would actually be asking him questions about the things that he is saying right now, and they never do.
00:25:10.000So, for example, he says in this one clip, there are a bunch of lies.
00:25:14.000Lie number one, he says, a cycle that emboldens history to be buried.
00:25:17.000So, apparently, that would be the Republicans who are trying to bury history by avoiding teaching critical race theory, which is not history.
00:25:24.000Somebody should ask him, which history are they actually trying to bury?
00:25:51.000Children and families to be attacked by the state.
00:25:53.000Which children and families are being attacked by the state?
00:25:56.000Do you mean, sir, that the children and families are being attacked by the state if doctors are not allowed to genitally mutilate and hormonally sterilize children?
00:26:32.000They are expelled from state houses for violating the law and the rules of the legislature.
00:26:36.000Again, when Republicans who back Donald Trump riot and go into the Capitol building, you arrest them and you put them in jail for years on end.
00:26:45.000When members of the Statehouse in Tennessee go on the floor with a loudspeaker and embolden people to trespass and then they're expelled, then you say that this is a violation of their rights.
00:27:18.000Are these friendships despite political differences, or are these friendships because the political differences don't actually matter very much?
00:27:24.000Because they don't actually have political differences.
00:27:27.000Another indicator of just how close this elite class is comes courtesy of the Wall Street Journal.
00:27:31.000Apparently, the nation's spy chief, a longtime college president, and a top woman in finance, the circle of people who associated with Jeffrey Epstein, years after he was a convicted sex offender, is wider than previously reported, according to a trove of documents that includes his schedules.
00:27:43.000William Burns, director of the CIA since 2021, had three meetings scheduled with Epstein in 2014 when he was deputy secretary of state, the documents show.
00:27:51.000They first met in Washington and then Burns visited Epstein's townhouse in Manhattan.
00:27:55.000By the way, this is long after the allegations that Jeffrey Epstein was trafficking young girls.
00:27:59.000Catherine Rumler, a White House counsel under Barack Obama, had dozens of meetings with Epstein in the years after her White House service and before she became a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs.
00:28:08.000Epstein planned for her to join a 2015 trip to Paris and a 2017 visit to Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.
00:28:16.000Leon Botstein, president of Bard College, invited Epstein, who brought a young female guest to the campus.
00:28:22.000Noam Chomsky was scheduled to fly with Epstein to have dinner at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in 2015.
00:28:27.000None of their names appear in Epstein's now public black book of contacts or in the public flight logs of passengers who traveled on his private jet.
00:28:33.000The documents show Epstein arranged multiple meetings with each of them after he had served jail time in 2008 for a sex crime involving a teenage girl and was registered as a sex offender.
00:28:42.000The documents, which include thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017, have not been previously reported.
00:28:48.000Most of those people told the Journal they visited Epstein for reasons relating to his wealth and connections.
00:28:52.000Several said they thought he had served his time and rehabilitated himself.
00:28:55.000Botstein said he was trying to get Epstein to donate to his school.
00:28:57.000Chomsky said he and Epstein discussed political and academic topics.
00:29:00.000Burns met with Epstein about a decade ago as he was preparing to leave government service, said CIA spokeswoman Tammy Cooperman Thorne.
00:29:06.000The director didn't know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector.
00:29:13.000Well, Google existed back in 2014, I noticed.
00:29:17.000So, again, the elite class, they hobnob with one another, not because they're having honest disagreements in which they're trying to hash out solutions, but because very often they sympathize with one another and they see each other as members of the same class.
00:29:30.000From Epstein Island to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, they're members of the same group.
00:29:35.000This is, again, when people say the Uniparty or the Blob, or they say that there's a group of people who really don't care very much about you, but they care very much about maintaining that seat at the round table at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
00:29:49.000And this is the alien— Again, when all power— It was just a bunch of schmucks getting together in Washington, D.C.
00:29:54.000to pat each other on the back, and they didn't have power over your life.
00:29:56.000I wouldn't care, and you wouldn't care.
00:29:57.000We might make fun of them, and presumably that'll be the Met Gala, but when they actually have power over your life, then you start to say, wait, hold up a second.
00:30:07.000Not seeing a lot of truck drivers in that room.
00:30:09.000Not seeing a lot of school teachers in that room.
00:30:11.000Not seeing a lot of cops in that room.
00:30:13.000I am seeing a bunch of people who sympathize with each other very largely on the most controversial issues of the day, and who see the rest of America as sort of a group of rubes, and they're willing to joke about it.
00:30:24.000And just one second, we'll get to the fact that again, this press contention that is in Joe Biden's pocket, they're hiding the fact that Joe Biden is actually extremely, extremely weak as a candidate.
00:32:23.000Kick woke companies out of your bathroom today.
00:32:26.000Meanwhile, the fact is that Joe Biden needs the blob because the blob helps defend him against the fact that he's an awfully weak candidate, like a very, very weak candidate.
00:32:33.000So they're now trying out Bernie Sanders as a surrogate.
00:32:36.000This is how far left the Democratic Party has moved that Bernie Sanders, who is a nutcase socialist, who's been useless for his entire adult life.
00:32:43.000This guy is now like your best surrogate.
00:32:45.000Here's Bernie Sanders crazed socialist loon bag from Vermont.
00:32:49.000You're one year older than President Biden.
00:32:52.000Is his age something that voters should consider in 2024?
00:32:57.000If you believe in democracy, you want to see more people vote, not fewer people vote, I think the choice is pretty clear, and that choice is Biden's.
00:33:06.000And second of all, what I do believe is the Democrats and the President have got to be stronger on working class issues.
00:33:12.000They've got to make it clear that we believe in a government that represents all, not just the few.
00:33:17.000Take on the greed of the insurance companies, the drug companies, Wall Street, all the big money interests, and start delivering for working class people.
00:33:24.000You do that, I think Biden is going to win in a landslide.
00:33:27.000By the way, it is amazing how, look, Bernie Sanders' appeal is entirely the same appeal that I'm making when I talk about the White House Correspondent Center.
00:33:34.000And he's saying they're a group of elite people and they live out there and they really agree with each other's values and they're not fighting for the working man, right?
00:34:50.000Despite having voted for Biden last time, 21-year-old Elena Symes couldn't point me to anything that would make her want to vote for him again, except- What do you like about Joe Biden?
00:35:17.000This is why Donald Trump, as the nominee in 2024, understand that that is the main appeal of Joe Biden.
00:35:22.000It always was the main appeal of Joe Biden, but it ain't going to be enough because Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible president, which is why RFK Jr.
00:35:28.000is now... RFK Jr., by the way, He has said some things about the COVID vax that are true, and he's been censored for it.
00:35:34.000But also, he says crazy stuff about vaccines, like, all the time.
00:35:36.000He has been on the train of vaccines cause autism based on a completely false study for literally decades.
00:35:45.000But it doesn't matter, because right now, he's the only person who has really declared who has any name recognition in the Democratic primaries outside of Joe Biden, and he's currently pulling close to one-fifth of the Democratic vote.
00:35:55.000According to certain polls, he's pulling at 19%. 19!
00:36:01.000has been a wild nutbag for like his entire adult life, his entire political career.
00:36:06.000Here he was with Piers Morgan talking about the vaccinations and actually sounding not quite as crazy as many members of the left sound these days.
00:36:15.000You've been opposed to vaccines now for a long time.
00:36:18.000Very heavily critical of the Covid vaccine.
00:37:45.000He suggested that Charles Koch, quote, should be in jail enjoying three hots and a cot at the Hague with all the other war criminals.
00:37:51.000And that anybody who disagrees with him about global warming is, quote, a contemptible human being.
00:37:55.000And he wished there was a law that you could punish them under.
00:37:59.000That's who RFK, he called the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, Americans for Prosperity, pretty much every conservative institution, quote, front groups that are, quote, snake pits for sociopaths.
00:38:25.000And then he's going to try the same exact routine that Barack Obama tried in 2012 and Hillary Clinton tried in 2016, except that the sort of added benefit of he is hoping that he's running against Donald Trump.
00:38:36.000So the Barack Obama strategy in 2012 was different than in 2008.
00:38:39.000In 2008, Obama's strategy was, I'm going to run a unity campaign.
00:38:45.000No red states, no blue states, just the United States.
00:38:48.000And then by 2012, it was like, nope, we all hate each other.
00:38:51.000I got my group over here, my group over here.
00:38:53.000That'll be a lot of minorities, a lot of young people, some college educated white ladies.
00:38:57.000And all together, we're going to overcome the white people who back Mitt Romney.
00:40:45.00049% of independents pick traditional values.
00:40:48.00041% side with greater tolerance, which means that Joe Biden's section of the aisle is actually smaller among independents than the conservative section of the aisle.
00:40:57.000But he is hoping that if Republicans run somebody polarizing, namely Donald Trump, that he will be able to overcome all of that.
00:41:03.000And meanwhile, he will get out his base.
00:41:04.000This is why he's going increasingly radical on a wide variety of issues, particularly on sexual orientation and on race.
00:41:12.000Again, when it comes to, for example, the country going, have we gone far enough or too far or not far enough in accepting quote-unquote trans issues among independents, 50% of independents say society's gone too far.
00:41:24.000Only 36% say that society hasn't gone far enough, which means that independents side with Republicans on the issues.
00:41:31.000But that's not what Biden is hoping for.
00:41:34.000I mean, he's purely banking on Donald Trump being the nominee because what he's hoping is the base gets out and the independents break for me because they hate Trump.
00:41:42.000Same formula as in 2020, which is the only reason why they continue to push forward extraordinarily radical policies with regard to LGBTQ plus IA divided by sign.
00:41:51.000It's also why it's idiotic for Republicans, by the way, to compromise on these issues.
00:41:54.000They're actually winning these issues with independents.
00:41:57.000And the media, doing the bidding of the Democratic Party, have decided they're just going to go full bore.
00:42:01.000So Chuck Todd, for example, he had on Vivek Ramaswamy, who's running for president on the Republican side of the aisle, and he starts using kind of typical far-left gender ideology rhetoric to suggest there are more than two genders.
00:42:13.000But below the age of 18, I think it's perfectly legitimate to say that we won't allow genital mutilation or chemical castration through puberty blockers for the purpose of gender transition.
00:42:21.000You're calling it that, but how do you know it's that?
00:42:45.000Gender dysphoria for most of our history, all the way through the DSM-5, has been characterized as a mental health disorder, and I don't think it's compassionate to affirm that.
00:43:11.000And so he's doubling down and doubling down and doubling down.
00:43:14.000are the most radical parts of his agenda for the 2024 election.
00:43:19.000So again, the Democratic Party, they're just gonna keep doubling down on the radicalism here, which is why they are now promoting, as hero of the republic, Zooey Zephyr, who's a dude in Montana who says that he is a lady.
00:43:29.000This means that you are going to make all sorts of news, because Zooey Zephyr went on the floor of the Montana House and suggested that all of his fellow legislators had blood on their hands for not wanting to do the literal thing that puts blood on your hands, you know, generally mutilate the kids.
00:43:40.000Here was Zooey Zephyr saying, being trans means freedom, You can't ban gender-affirming care that's cruel and inhumane and unconstitutional, says the man.
00:43:49.000What does being trans mean to you, Zoe?
00:43:55.000Being trans is like coming home into myself.
00:44:01.000Now I feel fully in resonance with my own body and I am able to move forward with a life that would not have been possible prior to transition.
00:44:11.000A life full of joy, a life where I can For the first time, be myself and, you know, have that pursuit of happiness that our country was founded on.
00:44:24.000The Declaration of Independence was founded on the idea that dudes can cut off their own junk and then pretend to be ladies.
00:44:28.000That is what the Declaration of... Just ask John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
00:44:32.000Jefferson told... Man, if you could go back in time and just ask those dudes about that, they'd have been like, yeah, freedom to be a lady.
00:44:41.000Zephyr, of course, is hero of the Republic today because, again, Democrats have decided that cosplaying civil rights revolutions is the way that you're going to win future elections.
00:44:49.000So here's Zephyr with Jonathan Capehart and MSNBC doing the same routine.
00:44:54.000Now that Senate Bill 99 has been signed into law, what does this mean for transgender minors and the LGBT community in Montana?
00:45:03.000So it's important to note that this bill doesn't go into effect until October 1st, and we're going to do everything in our power to stop this bill.
00:45:12.000There will be court challenges and ultimately, like bills across the country, it will get defeated in these courts.
00:45:18.000We know these bills are as unconstitutional as they are cruel.
00:45:41.000Chelsea Clinton, by the way, is now joining the battle.
00:45:43.000So, Chelsea Clinton, who, again, has never earned her way through a single day of work, she tweeted out, So, I'm just going to point out at this point that no one has banned books for adults.
00:45:51.000books with LGBTQ plus characters and themes. Books are a vital way that children, adolescents
00:45:54.000and adults learn about themselves and our world. Bans such as these are nothing but
00:45:58.000harmful. So I'm just going to point out at this point that no one has banned books for
00:46:01.000adults. We have all attempted to stop children from like genderqueer is there's actual cartoons
00:46:09.000in this book of gay boys giving each other blowjobs.
00:46:16.000I mean, that Clinton last name, I guess.
00:46:19.000That's what Chelsea Clinton wants kids to be reading.
00:46:21.000And this is what Democrats are going to run on.
00:46:23.000This is why it would be so foolish for Republicans to abandon social issues.
00:46:26.000Asa Hutchinson apparently wants to do that.
00:46:28.000Asa Hutchinson was going after Ron DeSantis for going to war with Disney.
00:46:32.000This is a really good litmus test for Republican voters.
00:46:35.000If a candidate says that they side with Disney over Ron DeSantis on the question of whether Disney should get special tax breaks, benefits, a special tax district, subsidies from the state, and then turn around and use all of that largesse in order to indoctrinate small children in sexual orientation and gender identity, I don't think I want that person as the nominee.
00:46:54.000Here is Asa Hutchinson, who has no shot at the nomination.
00:46:58.000As a small government conservative, which you just repeated here, what's your take on leaders in your party, Ron DeSantis among them, who are actively using the government to change social policy and wage culture wars?
00:47:10.000Well, let's be more specific about Disney.
00:47:13.000I don't like what Disney said about the legislation that I would have supported in Florida, but it's not the role of government to punish a business when you disagree with what they're saying or a position that they take.
00:47:27.000Well, is it the role of business to, in absolutely ultra crepedarian fashion, speaking outside their purview, go after sexual indoctrination of children and take tax benefits at the same time?
00:47:37.000I didn't realize that Disney had a right to its own tax benefits.
00:47:40.000But this is, you know, presumably going to be the fight the Democrats want to wage.
00:47:43.000Meanwhile, on the race fight, same sort of thing.
00:47:44.000So that NBC News poll, by the way, showed that some 59% of Americans say that America is a racist country, which is why, presumably, Joe Biden is going to double down on that come the campaign.
00:47:53.000It's why they've decided to make cosplay civil rights heroes out of Tennessee State Representatives Justin Pearson and Justin Jones.
00:47:59.000Those are the Tennessee legislators who, again, went on the floor of the Tennessee Statehouse and yelled in bullhorns and violated all the rules and then got expelled from the chamber before they're reinstated by their local city councils or whatever.
00:48:09.000Here is Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson saying the status quo is propping up white supremacy and patriarchy, he said, from his position of extraordinary Cultural power, because the media love him so.
00:48:21.000You and your generation and people like you and Zoe Zephyr and Maxwell Frost, you're not afraid to break the china.
00:48:27.000We have to realize that we are in a really important moment in the movement, not just in a moment.
00:48:33.000And for our entire generation, which recognizes that the opportunity that we have cannot be wasted by going along with the status quo as usual.
00:48:41.000The status quo has propped up white supremacy and patriarchy and injustice.
00:49:40.000JPMorgan also said it would receive $50 billion in financing from the FDIC.
00:49:46.000This would be the second largest bank to fail in American history.
00:49:50.000It lost $100 million in deposits in March following a run, rooted again, on Silicon Valley Bank.
00:49:56.000And that was rooted on the fact that the Joe Biden administration created 40-year inflation and then had to jack up those interest rates in order to jack down the inflation.
00:50:03.000By the way, the inflation is not over yet.
00:50:06.000Apparently, the Federal Reserve is still considering, again, more interest rate increases, which it must, because they've got another problem.
00:50:14.000Their bigger problem right now is that if that inflation rate continues to be 6, 7, 8 percent, this is going to get baked into the American economy beyond repair.
00:50:22.000Wages are going to continue their decline.
00:50:25.000Apparently, the Federal Reserve's balance sheet is loaded with bonds purchased to support the economy during the crisis.
00:50:29.000It might currently be insulating Wall Street from the effects of its interest rate policy.
00:50:32.000So in other words, the Federal Reserve bought its own bonds in order to inflate the currency, and so now they'll take the hit.
00:50:36.000Which means higher taxes for you later, or more inflation later, but maybe they'll stop it right now.
00:50:41.000And it's all just, it's just garbage, which is why, according to Tyler Durden, writing for Zero Hedge, the U.S.
00:50:46.000recession probability has now reached 67%.
00:50:48.000Very, very, very high possibility of a serious recession.
00:50:54.000Assuming the Fed follows through on hiking federal funds rates by another quarter point next week, the probability of official recession will continue to rise.
00:52:06.000A white councilperson in Indiana is now identifying as female and black.
00:52:11.000And it is hilarious to watch the media attempt to take this seriously.
00:52:14.000Because remember, what the media would prefer right now is to pretend that a man can become a woman, but that a black person can't become white and a white person can't become black.
00:52:22.000So they say that even though race is less a biological component of human existence with way fuzzier boundaries than, for example, sex.
00:52:30.000Sex is completely dichotomous in human and all mammalian biology.
00:52:34.000They want to pretend a man can become a woman, but a white man can't become a black man.
00:52:38.000But here is a white man who says he is a black woman.
00:52:40.000And now the media are forced to actually treat this idiocy with respect.
00:53:58.000According to the UK Daily Mail, a white Republican councilman in Indiana has sparked outrage after jokingly declaring himself a lesbian woman of color in a Facebook post made earlier this month.
00:54:08.000The announcement sparked outrage from people calling Webb pathetic and for his perceived mockery of LGBT groups as well as marginalized groups.
00:54:14.000Charlize Jamison, a transgender resident, said his words not only embarrass himself, but you, the county council.
00:54:19.000Other members have now called him out for inciting hate against transgender people.
00:54:44.000He said he will still go by Ryan, he will still keep his pronouns he-him, but this will in no way diminish my true identity as a woman of color, he says.
00:54:53.000In a later edit, he doubled down on his statements, declaring himself the first lesbian woman of color in the county council's history.
00:55:21.000Dana Black, host of the Turn Left podcast said, I'm hoping this individual is not making a mockery of what it means to be more in a marginalized community.
00:55:27.000I have a feeling that's exactly what's happening.
00:55:55.000TransBlind is a person who felt that they were a blind person in a sighted body, and so she blinded herself with cleaning fluid.
00:56:03.000Now watch as the doctors, again, this is on a network daytime show, watch as the doctors explain that this is horrible and actually morally evil.
00:56:39.000Sitting so close to someone who traumatized herself, who damaged herself.
00:56:46.000We took an oath in medicine to help people.
00:56:49.000We see horrible tragedies every single day as doctors and people who would give anything to go back and restore Their vision, their health.
00:57:29.000Or maybe we've all gone crazy, and our society is insane because we've lost all objective standards of truth, knowledge, right, and wrong, and we've decided that subjective happiness, as defined by the person in the moment, is the only thing that matters.
00:58:06.000It is amazing how the media are capable of changing a narrative that is clearly about illegal immigration into a narrative about guns.
00:58:12.000So, there is a horrific story over the weekend in which a 38-year-old illegal immigrant named Francisco Oropesa started shooting at a random family.
00:58:30.000Apparently, he shot and killed five Honduran nationals after one of them complained of him firing a rifle outside shortly before midnight on Friday night.
00:58:40.000Of the ten people living at the home at the time of the shooting, five are now dead.
00:58:43.000The five decedents are aged 31, 25, 21, 18, and 8.
00:58:46.000The eight-year-old boy reportedly died at the hospital.
00:58:49.000The four other victims were found dead at the scene.
00:58:57.000So the original story, as sort of reported by the media, is that there was a Texas man and he was shooting in his backyard and people confronted him about shooting a gun in his backyard and he proceeded to murder five people.
00:59:11.000The actual story is, you know how many times this person has now been deported?
00:59:15.000According to Breitbart, immigration officers deported the Mexican man wanted in connection to Friday night's alleged murder of 500 nationals on three occasions.
00:59:39.000And this person ended up back in the United States murdering five people.
00:59:43.000The media, of course, pretended that none of this occurred.
00:59:46.000Virtually every headline featuring this shooting in Texas that left five dead, Virtually every single thing left left out the illegal immigrant background.
00:59:57.000So I'm just going to read you a series of headlines.
00:59:59.000Quote, five dead in Texas shooting armed suspect on the loose.
01:00:31.000Not the illegal immigration system that has allowed this person to illegally cross the border three separate times in order to murder five people in the United States.
01:00:39.000The media can turn anything into the narrative that they so choose.
01:00:42.000It is perfectly obvious this is a story about illegal immigration.
01:00:45.000It's a person who crossed the border, he's a criminal, crossed the border three separate times, ended up in the United States, committed a horrific crime.
01:00:54.000Meanwhile, in an attempt to avoid, you know, any real headline about illegal immigration, I have to say, the great irony of Democrats complaining about illegal immigrants arriving in their city, it's amazing.
01:01:04.000So, According to WTTW.com, which is a PBS offshoot, Chicago is now facing a humanitarian crisis amid a renewed surge of migrants from the southern border.
01:01:14.000The Chicago City Council will soon be asked to spend $53 million from the city's budget surplus to care for the thousands of people who have already made their way to Chicago, according to city officials.
01:01:22.000More than 8,100 people, most of them from Central and South America, have arrived in Chicago since August 31st.
01:01:27.000That is when Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent the first bus of migrants to Chicago.
01:01:31.000According to a letter, Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent to the City Council on Friday, acknowledging that once again the city's shelter system is bursting at the seams.
01:01:37.000That has forced dozens of men, women, and children to sleep on the floor of police stations across the city while they wait for beds, according to officials.
01:01:43.000Immigrants who arrived by plane are also sleeping at O'Hare.
01:01:47.000Lori Lightfoot is really mad about it.
01:01:50.000Alderman Brian Sigcho Lopez with the 25th Ward says this is inhumane.
01:01:56.000Officials are saying we're using every tool in our toolbox.
01:01:58.000They're begging Greg Abbott not to send more illegal immigrants to Chicago.
01:02:01.000Yeah, it's all fun and games when tens of thousands of people are arriving every single month on the southern border in the United States and then being let loose into Texas cities.
01:02:09.000The minute they arrive in Chicago, it's a humanitarian crisis.
01:02:12.000Well, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
01:02:14.000You guys all vote for the administration that likes the open border?
